Marks of a Gentleman. No man is a
gentleman, who, without provocation, would
treat with incivility the humblest of
his species. It is vulgarity for which no
accomplishment of dress or address can
ever atone. Show me the man who desires
to make every one round him happy, and
wnose greatest solicitude is never to give
cause of offence to any one, and I will show
you a gentleman' by nature and practice,
tnough ho may never have worn a suit of
broadcloth, nor ever heard of a lexicon. ,1
am proud to say , for the honor of our species,
tnere are men m every throb ot whoso heart
there is solicitude for the welfare of man
kind,; and whose every breath is perfumed
with kindness.
The necticj at Ctpt Fear Township,
called by the Larkins bolters, turned out ta
Eagles success. Mr. Scott was made chair-
can and after Mr. Larkins got agoing loua
calls for Butler caused! that gentleman to
get up and refute the childish nonsense of
the rebel deserting candidate. Mr. Arnold
replied to howling Holmes, and Price was

The case of the city ti. Mr. James j F.
Post was tried before Judge Cantwell Tues
day. Messrs. ; Strange and Poisson ap

and M. London, Esq., for the city. Mr. Post
it appeared, was indicted for erecting a
fence encroaching on the street at his resi
dence on Princess street between Fourth and
Fifth, and, was held liable by the city for a
penalty, of $50 imposed by the ordinance
creating 6uch an act a nuisance.
The case was finally given j to the jury,
who immediately after retiring returned
and rendered a verdict of 44 not, guilty.'': j
Rocky Point Meeting. The meeting
at Rocky Point yesterday resulted very fa
vorably for Mr. Eagles. Larkins was so
badly beaten by his opponent in discussion
hat he retired "very sick." Leading
conservative gentlemen congratulated Mr.
Eagles on his manly conduct, and the re
marks of the conservative orator, Colonel
Frazicr, were so terribly scathing toward the
renegade Larkins that poor Miller burst into
ears and was carried from the meeting on
a shovel ! t

Ma. EDrron : In a recent decUloribf the

there is appended a note, having reference

simply in persuance of thiaidea, as we take it,
that J udge Reade caused this note to be tvft

and section. ' By them it is made a subject
for their usual vituperation and abuse of all
those who have been called by the people to
places of honor ; and 'distinction, and are
therefore held responsible for ' depriving
these gentry of their " divine right " to hold '
all the small offices in the land. It is an
insult to the virtuo and intelligence which
is all to be found in the ranks of the De
