North Carolina Gazette. FAYETTEVIIXE, N. C. 'Flxxirrsi&ciy, Deo. THE CUBAN TROUBLE. . As we announced to our readers in last -week's issue, juotwithetanding the sensational rumors and excited newspaper articles which wei-e even at tlie time being extensively circulatedthe threatsinngs of war have spent themselves in nothing. The United Stated Government, making verj consid- erable modification in "the -stringency of its first demand, and Spain accepting the conditions im posed, with several material reservations, a peace ful adjustment of the pending difficulty is promised. All .intelligent ami-reflecting citizens may well congratulate themselves that war has been averted. Though we can readily understand tliat the Radi cal party would have welcomed any reasonable pretext for commencing hostilities, as a means of reuew'iDj its rapidly expiring lease of power in the national government, a contest with even so . weak a people us tlie Spanish, at the present time, would have -beea an evil greatly to be deplored. As a means tending eventually to the annexa tion of Cuba.to the United States, the end would liave been poor compensation for the cost and ex pense incurred in fitting out a naval armament, maintaining war, and achieving success. The U. States wants no more territory;' her area is too large already, and every acre added to her hounda ries means, with the present corrupt, dishonest ad ministration, the creation of new offices and added facilities for stealing. As to the merit's of the grave question which was so serious as almost to bid two nations resort to arms, that is a matter yet to come under discus sion. Of one thing we are certain: stripped of all Terbiage, and rescued from a mass of meaningless technicalities, the facts remain patent: that the Virginius had for its object furnishing arms and men for Cuba; that it was and had been a filibus- tering vessel and its crew wre filibusters; that however much we pity their fate, and blame the individuals who inhumanly butchered them, they were engaged in unlawful acts against the yovern tnent whose agents captured them. As to the "vindication of the national honor" and the "protection of the U. S. flag," we have this to say : we have no desire to keep alive bad feelings between the two sections of this country; hut the national government has used its power and its functions only to wrong and opprjjps the South for eight long years, end its flag is the sym bol of injustice, disfranchisement, and maltreat ment of ,pur best citizens. It is superlatively cool impudence to call upon (Southern people to share in the indignant excitemeut experienced by the Radical and the loyal it is an insult to invite Confederate soldiers to join their ranks, to be led to battle byJphermau, who devastated their once happy land, or by Sheridan, who stole their cattle, desti-oyed their property, and insulted and out raged their wives, mothers and sisters. If the Cuban trouble arises agahi7"gentlemen, fight it out, to your hearts' content. Count us "out this game." .-' ', ' '"The South." Ve have before us a copy of "The South," published in New York, of which Mr. W. J. Woodward is Associate Editor, and in the interests of which he is now travelling through the Southern States. ; We eannotUoo highly recommend this valuable papes to the encouragement and support of our people. It is published for ' the advancement "of the interests and the development ot the resources of the South, and is doing much for the nceom plislunent of these euda. The No. which we have just been perusing might be called the ''Charlotte No.,".as it is profusely and. handsomely illustrated with the liotels, business houses and public build inds of that bright little city; and the benefit which will inure to Charlotte from the publication of this one issue will be worth thousands of dollars to that town. Mr. Woodward, formerly one of our townsmen, is now on a visit home, and will receive subscrip tions or advertisements for "The South." 'r Additional Pkemicms. Mrs. A. A. Mc ' Kethan, for the 2nd best butter exhibited at the - fair, was awarded the silver butter-knife offered by "ThtT Agricultural Society. This was not handed us, or it would have been published last week. Also, the committee in that department have awarded to Mrs. J. j. Jackson, ' of Pittsboro, . N. C, for map of Coal Fields and surrounding couti- try, our special premium of Gazette for one year. Accordingly, the paper will be sent to her address until the 3rd Dec. 1874,-52 Nos. from da'te. r- Trade Better. Our streets were full of cotton on yesterday, and business is beginning to look better. Our merchants always give the jtop of the market, and rdanters will find- no better place for the sale of their produce than this. We expect a brisk trade, after all, this whiter. Our .', business men never had betttr, more- complete, or cheaper stocks. They bought in the very midst of the panic, at very low rates, and can afford to sell on very advantageous terms. - Excellence in Painting. Master Elliott Daingerfield, a young gentlemen of this towu, only 12 or 14 years of age, exhibited at our fair a beau tiful paiuting by his own hand, whjek ;displays real genius. We predict that, with, proper culti , vation and study, he will achieve great prominence in this first of the fine arts. Hartley the Elocutionist. Two readings were given here, on Monday and Tuesday even ings, by Mr. Hartley, the elocutionist. We did not attend, but learn that the entertainment was very fine. The audiences were small but appre ciative. . CROWDED COLUMNS. We do not feel it neces sary to apologize for the scarcity of editorial this ' week. Our paper must always contain aU the late news, which is more important to our readers than our own effusions. Lock's Creek Canal. Col. T. W. Devane, th contractor, is going on with the Lock's Creek Canal. He has 75 or 100 bauds at work, and. is Duelling' the enterprise forward. This, u one of - . - if the most important improvements ever inaugura ted in this county, and the benefit to accrue to the section through which it passes will be appre ciated only when it is finished. - ' - Scpeeiok Court. Court adjourned last Sat urday. Doyle Bryant, charged with the murder of Chas. Boon, was acquitted. The" evidence against him was considered mainly circumstantial. The argument of Hon. T. C. Fuller, of Counsel . for the defence, is spoken pf as one of the most powerful efforts of his life. "Wiley Evans was granted a new trial, on mo tion and after argument before his Honor J udge Buxton, on Saturday, by Cnpts. N. W. Bay and . Benj. Kobinsor": ou following grounds: reception of improper te 'pony exclusion of proper testi- . ifaony misdirection of the' court in the charge to the jury, and after-discovered testimony. J? pecial terra of Court in January, Communications. We cannot publish cor respondence unaccompanied by a responsible nainpj Within the past few days we have received sev-: eral communications, which under our rules, must he laid aside. For instance: we have one very laudatory of the Gazktte, signed simply "good will;" another from Sanford poetical signed only with initials. Adopt any nomme tie plmne you please, but, at tiie same time, you must give us your own name. , Hop of, the Epicup.kan Society. The young gentlemen of the "Epicurean Society" give a hop,jhis evening at Fayette ville Hall. We have no doubt it will be very pleasant. We like to see it; ouir heart beais in sympathy with the happi; ness of the young people. Shakspeare Club. There was a very pleas ant meeting of this club at Mr. Lilly's, last Thurs day ; interesting selections were read, the gather ing was social and agreeable, and the reorganiza tion for the winter was very auspicious. To-niglit the club meets at Mr. Pearce's, and it is hoped there will be a large attendance. CORRESPONDENCE. special1 'to tiie gazktte. THE IjrjTJNCTION DISSOLVED Kaleigh, N. C, Dec. 2, 1873. . Messrs. Editors : . The Self Injunction case has leen decided to day, and the court declined to grant an injunction, but held that the special tax bonds are constitu tional. That ruling is a triumph for the bond holders, but the matter will go up to the Supreme Court of the United States, where the decision may be reversed. It is.so near mail time I am unable to ascertain the exact ruling as to injunction, but understand it is consistent with previous decisions in days past; that there is no way to sue a State, in which event the constitutionality of the bonds will not elfect our people much, for the State courts having ruled them unconstitutional the Legisla ture, with the people to support i(j will not be likely to levy any tax to pay them. . Yours, T. STATE NEWS. The Diamond Cottox Chopper and Cul tivator. In calling the attention of our readers to the recent invention of Mr. J. B. Underwood, of Fayetteville, SfC, wejvould state that it is Jhe machine for the cotton planter. It does with one man and one horse the work of from six.to twelve men and of from two to four horses. II, at one operation, chops, bars, weeds and dirts the cotton, leaving it in hills twelve inches apart from centre to centre, niore free from grass, aud in every res pect better Worked than if done by the hoe. The machine is erfeetly simple, and can be us ed by any hand who can plough. So far as is coiMstent Avith durability, it is cast in separate paAs, which are numbered, so that the part im- edmtely affected can, in case ot accident, be quick- y replaced at small cost. The knives can be removed, and a harrow sweep adjusted, which, in many respects, is an improve ment upon those now in use. This machine will pay for itself in ten days' work, the price being $35. One of these plows will last for years. Coming, as it does, 'with the first premium from every fair where it has been exhibited, and with the Gold Medal from the Geor gia 1 State " Fair, as the most important im provement in agricultural implements for the past L year, we think its success assured. Y hue cotton remains ai us present ngures, it oenoves me conon planters of.the South to investigate the claims ol this great .im"Snver. We must reduce the ex pense of making our great staple erop.- The ma chine will be exhibited at the fair of the Carolina.-,, at Charlotte The South, 'i . ! From the Wilmington Journal. The Fayetteville Scaxdal. We willingly give place to the following communication from Fayetteville, in correction of the article recently published by us in reference to B. C. Gorhain hav ing absconded from the place with', a young lady, leaving his family behind. Suffice it to say . that our information was derived from a very reliable source. We give our corresjK)iideiiI the benefit of his deuial, which is as follows : Fayetteville, Nov. 24th. The Editors of the Journal "will please correct the erroneous statement made in their journal of November 20th, in regard to B. C. Gorhain leav ing Favetteville. His family were aware of his leaving for several weeks before he left Fayette ville and knew that he did not expect to return iu several months. Iu regard to the A'oung lady, she went under his protection to her brother, who has been living in Texas for three years and has ac cumulated considerable means, and wrote for her to come to him by the first opportunity. The young lady,' up to -the time she left, can sustain a good character. . Respectfully, Condensed from the Raleigh Sentinel. LEGISLATURE OE NORTH CAROLINA EIGHTH DAY S PROCEEDINGS. SENATE.

Rumored Burning of the Salem Female Colleue A Young Lady Pekishes in the Flames. On yesterday a distressing rumor reach ed this city that on Saturday night last this w-ell known and largely patronized institution of learn ing had been destroyed by fire, and, what is more horrid to relate, that one of the young lady pupils, from one of the Southern States, had perished in the flames. We get the above information from parties who read a dispatch concerning the calamity, which reached Charlotte on Sunday. An additional fea ture of sadness is given to this terrible occurrence from the. tact that the parents of. the unfortunate young lady were on their way to visit her when tlw intelligence of her death reached them while at Greensboro. i While fearing that the rumor is well grounded, yet we indulge the hope that the affair is exagger ated, especially as to the fate of the young lady. P. S. We learned by telegraph last night "that the rumoi-of the burning of the College was untrue, but are pained to learn that the rumor of the burn ing to death of a young lady, a student from Geor gia, -is true. . Her dress accidently caught on fire, with fatal results. llu lei'jh Xcvss. ' " GENERAL. NEWS. WASHINGTON-. Bank Statement Agreement between the United States and Spain in reference to the Virginius Affair Negotiations Ter minated.. The War Cloud Vanished. Washington, Nov. 20. The following is the hank statement: Loans have decreased $125,000; specie- increased $2,500,000 legal tenders increased $4,500, 000; deposits increased $0,500,000. The statement of the Bank of Commerce is omit ted. The report of the Secretary of War exhibits in detail the operations of the various bureaus of the department for the past fiscal year. A slight increase in the appropriation lor the next fiscal year is asked. The operations of the riigiuecriiig corps on fortifications and harbors are progressing, but the Secretary wants the earnest attention of Congress to the necessity of providing an adequate defense' of the seaboard in case of war with a foreign power. The Springfield rifle', has been adopt ed as the inoit effective arm for the use of the service. Additional appropriations are asked for placing the militia in good trim and for providing the army with a proper supply of small arms. A site is asked for a powder magazine and for a grand arsenal and the sale of several of the smaller arsenals is recom mended. The eiiectiveiiess of the signal bu reau is set forth at some length. The negotiations between the United States and Spain, with regard to the question, grow ing out of the capture of the Virginius wn brought to a conclusion toLfd:iy, Sec'ry Fish and Admiral Polo having agreed upon and sign'ed'a protocol, which the latter isoon after j telegraphed to Ins Government; as conflicting statements have appeared ia the newspapers rcicardiiic: intelli: ;cnce received last niffht and also to-day, it can now be positively stated that the terms are substantially as follows : let. The immediate delivery to the United States of the ship Virginius and all the survi ving passengers and crew, j 2nd. A salute to our flag : on tlie 25th of December liext, unless in the meantime Spain shall satisfy the United States that the Ameri can Hag was improperly borne on that vessel, and further, that she had no right to the American Hag or American papers. In this event the salute is to be spontaneously with drawn aud Spain is to formally , disclaim any intentional indignity to the flag in the acts committed by Snain against the Virginius. 3d. If it shall thus he shown that the Vir ginius had no right to carry the American flag and papers, the United States will institute proceedings against the surviving parties who have violated the laws of the United States, and Spain guarantees to institute proceedings against any of her authorities who may have violated either law or treaty stipulations. 4th. The matter of reclamations lor dama ges is reserved for future consideration. In addition to the above it can also be pos itively stated that within the next two days Secretary Fish and the Spanish Minister will determine the port at w hich the Virginius and the surviving passengers aud crew shall be delivered to the United States. The words "immediate release," as appli cable to the delivery of the Virginius and the surviving passengers and crew, implies, of course, a reasonable time for its execution, as some days must elapse before Havana and Santiago de Cubit can be reached. The agreement is regarded in official quar ters as covering "all the points of our original demands, though in a modified form while it is considered respectful and honorable to both countries. The fixing of the 23th of Decem ber as the time for saluting our Hag is to allow the necessary opportunity to Spain - to show that the Virginius improperly carried the American flag and American papers. There is a sensible relief in all quarters that the negotiation has thus peacefully ended. Both Secretary Fish and Admiral Polo had for two-weeks past been engaged in producing the result, on which they receive the congrat ulations of their respective friends. SPAIUV Bombardment of Cartagenathe Result The Virginius AfEair Reparation to be Made Further Particulars. Madrid, Nov. 28. At the bombardment of Cartagena on Wed nesday, the arsenal and barracks were the chief marks for the besiegers' artillery, but the cathedral and hospital were ajso struck. On Friday, the theatre, the Protestant Church, and two entire streets were destroyed and two hundred persons were killed and wounded within the city. The insurgents have raised the black fla ou the forts. At last accounts the fire around the city was subsiding. The loss of the be siegers has been exceedingly small. Officers of the foreign squadron succeeded in obtain ing an armistice of four hours;on last Friday night. The Spanish Cabinet has agreed to the de livery to the United States Government of the steamship Virginius and all the persons re maining alive, who were captured with her, leaving the question as to whether the seizure ox the vessel was legal, to be settled hereafter by a mixed tribunal. The question whether damages shall be paid to the families and rel atives of the prisoners who were shot,; ia also to be settled va a similar manner. Thia dociB- ioii was not arrived at by the Government be fore it had confidentially consulted with the powers of Europe, and was informed by all of them that reparation was due for thecapture of the steamer and execution of the captives? The decision is also in conformity with the o pinions of leading Spanish i statesmen of all Earties, to whom the. question was submitted y the Goverirfnent. - : President Chant and the ex-Confed-ekates of Virginia. Washington Nov, 29, 1873: Col. John S Mosby to day called ou the President, for the first time since the Virginia Gubernatorial canvass. He was re ceived most cordially by the President and several members of the Cabinet. He offered his services in case of a war; with Spain, and the President premised him I a command, al though he-said there, was no immediate dan ger of war; but in case therershould be, he had perfect confidence in the late Confederate sol diers, and intended to give the commissions equally to the soldiers of the Federal and Con federate armies. r He spoke Of Hon. Alexan der II. Stephens most kindly, and was glad that he had been returned to Congress. The President said that in his forthcoming Message he intended to recommend univer sal amnesty. j Colonel Mosby told the President that the Virgiuia election was not a condemnation of his administration, and that he was stronger than ever in that State. The President ag reed with him, and was not at all dissatisfied with tlie result. He expressed himself grati fied at the tone of General Kemper's iqleeches, j and favored Mosby s policy ol reconciliation between the administration and the white peo ple of the South. The President said that as long as he was in office the holders of appoint ments made through Moshy's. influence should not be turned out, no matter who tried to oust them; that hereafter he intended to appoint to j office from the South the best men for the po- j eitions, and that he was very much gratified ; at the good feeling manifested by the V n'giii ia Conservatives towards his administration, and was ready to respond to it. Ed. C. Marshall, son of the former Chief Justice, James V 13rooke, Colonel Chapman, and Captain Chapman, of Fauquier county, Virginia, had also a pleasant! interview "with President Grant to day. They also served with Mosbj' daring the" late war, and are also anxious for a brush with Spain. The Spanish Concessions Sickles Will Puohai'-ly Resign.

Washington, Nov. 30. The Secretary of the Navy in his report gives a general detail of tbe condition of the naval service, and concludes with a concise statement of the re cent itfcivity of his department and its ability 'to cope wth a foreign adversary. We make extracts as follows: i ''I have felt it to be my dnv, under the1 existing circumstances, to take promptly every means' iii my power to put our available force in the best possible conditio!) for immediate and active ser vice. A respectable force' of war vessels and monitors is already on the sea and concentra ting at the station nearest the scene of our possible difficulties. Inadequate as this force may be deemed to' the responsibilities of a government like ours, ami as greatly at a disadvantage as we certainly will be in respect to tlie number and character of our vessels iu contrast with the fleet of any respectable naval power, I believe tbe ac; tivity, science and experience of our navy will be found equal to any difficulty which courage dares to meet or energy will avail to conquer." lie advises that tbe navy at least be put in a condition for active service.

The allowances of compensation are to be made only for claims directly resulting from damages caused by the Alabama and Florida, and their tenders, and by the Shenandoah, after her departure from Melbourne, February 18, 1865. No claim shall be admitted for any loss for which compensation has been received from insurance, hut allowance may be made for the difference be tween the losses sustained and tlie insurance re ceived therefrom. No claim w adniissable for un earned or prospective frieghtB or for seamen's wa ges for more than one year after tbe breaking up of the average. No claims shall be allowed in be half of any insurance company, or insurer, except, for the excess of losses over the premiums or gains arising from war-risks.' , No claim shall be allowed in favor of any insurance company not lawfully existing at the time of the loss under the laws of some of the United States, and no claims shall be allowed in favor of any person not entitled at the time of his . loss to the protection ,of the United States, and who did hot all times," daring the late war, hear true allegiance to the United States. Allowances in the interest on losses may be al- lowed at the rate of 4 per cent, per annum. I" case the fund shall not hold out for payment of all the awards, it is to be distributed pro rata m accord ance with , them, and in any event' the United States Government ii to detain five per cent, of the amount of each award, in order to defray, the expenses of adjudication. .
