2 C ts c BY J. L. PERNIJS6T0S & CO. THE NEWS. Qvszrxl Cass. A correspondent writes: We rarely meet with the n&me. of General the papers ; but he " still liresj at the rip e age of eighty four years. He resides pa Jefferson street, Detroit, in a handsome medern built dwelling, while his eldest son occupies the old family home stead, two squares distant Though afflicted wih feebleness and forgetfulness naturally incident to his patriarchal age, he maintains better hea th and a more active spirit than could reasonably be sup posed to belong to his time ollife. A Matamoras paper of the 22d, says that among the rebels steering for the citj of Mexico are feirby Smith, Price, Wilcox, Magrudy Walker, King and Preston, and Governors Allen add Moore. Shelby and Hindman, with Governors Reynolds, Clark and Murray are at Monterey, the latter very ill. Cor tinas had but six hundred men in his battle with Lopez, one hundred of whom were killed and the remainder fled. No quarter was given to prison ers. Xhe country lying between the Mississippi Centra) and the Mobile and Ohio railroads is infect ed by gang of desperadoes, who rob and murder at their pleasure. In that section, a few days age, a man named Aldridge, formerly sheriff of Mcnairy county, Tennessee, killed three men ia cold blood one of them aged 60, and the other 70 years. The crimes were perpetrated to gratify some private grudge. John W. Fcrney, who may be presumed to know as much about administration matters as any body, says the refractory disposition of certain par doned rebels will work good, rather than harm, to the national cause at the South. President John son, he says, is not to be trifled with, and when his confidence is abused or his clemency insulted by the ex-rebels, they will find a stern ruler in him who desires to ' be their merciful guardian and guide. . A returned reb?l named Kelly was summarily hung, a few days since, at Bergen, Mo. He went to a saloon in the place, and ordered a Lieutenant of militia, who happened to be there, to take ! his blouse off, remarking that he did not like blue coats The Lieutenant refused to comply with his request, when Kelly drew a revolver and fired at him. By standers then knocked Kelly down took hira out, and suspended him to the limb of a tree. ! The Americans are a great people. Over six thousand dollars have been . subscribed ; in Washington for Mrs. Jefferson Davis, and we should not be supprised to learn at any time that funds were being raised among some of the mercural peo ple beyond the Potomac to erect a monument! to Jeff. Another account says Mrs. Davis is living in seclusion at a hotel in a Georgia village, and has command of . any amount of funds. !No danger, we think, of the family starving. Alexander H. Stephens. Letters have been received at Washington from Alexander EL Ste phens, in which he speaks of his health as " very precarious," but not from any lack of nourishing food or kind treatment at the hands of those whod have him in charge. It is the close confinement of which he complains as undermining his consti tution, which has been very feeble for several years. - ' Prisoners Captuked. Statistics of the War Department show that during the rebellion oar ar mies captured over 300,000 prisoners of war be sides paroling about one hundred and sixty thou sand more of the final surrender of the different rebel armies. These records are now undergoing complete compilation, and the facts developed there by are of much interest. The London-Times has veered oyer to the Lib? tral side, and urges the reduction of the franchise to twenty pounds a year. It says : "Of all the . anomalies of our electoral system, a franchise which excludes men residing in 30 and 40 houses from the franchise is the least defensible. , i i The Union State Central Committee of Ohio, announce that the first meeting of the campaign will beheld at Warren, Trumbull county, on Tues day, August 15th, to be addressed by General J. D. Cox, Ex-Governor David Tod, and Hon. John Hut chins. Other appointments will soon follow. A Montreal dispatch says that John H.Surratt is now secreted near that city. He h.xs been in Canada for sometime, harbored by secession sympaihizers.--Beverly Tucker is getting short of funds, and Is pre paring to leave. George Saunders dissipates, and is fa-t wearing out. Communication by rail has been opened be tween Wilmington and Charleston and the road be tween Goldsboro and Weldon, it is thought, will be in operation within ten days. Major General iiol:cr has recently been made Major General in the regular array His. commis-j won as Brigadier General in the regular army dated mm Antietem. A party of thirty regroes from the South passed through New York on the 16th, for Rhode Island, here homes have been p repared for them. " 18 l&e scond tot sent to this State.

We hive received a copy of the Proceedings of the Annul Meeting of the Stockholders of the Atlantic and North Carolina Ball road Company, for 1865, which furnishes much in teresting statistical matter. We give the following figures from the President's Report : - By comnariniy an a n e i t. j-. s, p " ""'"6 tuo reu?iui8 per montn salt yer' U tb6 foIlow,D - Gross earnings duriug the year 1864, 12 month., $316,789 31 Average per month, 26,315 61 Gross earnings during the " year loo, a months, Average per month, 355.998 88 39 55 43 Expenses during the year aoo4, i2 months, Average per month, 100 720 37 8,398 37 Expenses duriag the year isot, 9 months, Average per roenth 186,327 89 20,703 09 Net earnings per month, 186, Ket earnings per month, 1864. 18,852 25 17,922 24 Increase per month, of 1865, over 1864, 980 10 In regard to the safety of travel on this rnarf it freedom from casualties, &c., the report says : Since the ODeuincr of the TWd , cj , v.

More over, for one year before the war we operated the wnoio rioaa, anu ran at an average speed of twenty seven miles an hour from Goldsboro' to Morebead City with the passenger trains, and eighteen miles with the freight trains, without having to record an accident on the main line of the Road, and without losing a mail connection. Prosperity of the South. The Augusta Chroni cle da Sentinel says : Notwithstanding the great desolation which is every where visible in the South, we have within ourselves to-day" the elements of a great prosperity a speedy recovery of all the material wealth we have sacrificed and a rapid advance in knowledge, industry, wealth, refinement and power. In cli mate, soil, timber, minerals, inland navigation, water-power, and nearly, every element of material well-being, we arc scarcely surpassed : while the J fiOttUjtejCJjL World is hungry for immense quanti- TjySXfof 5u-fples, and ready to buy them at extra- uruiuaryjjr- jm. vapiuu iruui euiier nemispnere is eager to flow hither to buy our lands and hire our labor at prices far above those of the past, and to purchase all the cotton, sugar, rice, tobacco, na val stores, &c., fec, we jean produce for years to come at not less than double the cost of the pro duction. In all the known world, there is not an other field for the employment alike of capitol and labor so promising as is afforded throughout the length and breadth of the Southern States . Ail that we now require to insure a speedy real ization of these brilliant prospects is harmony by our hearths. Let our people but resolve not to quarrel among themselves not to oppress and trample down each other but to help and be helped, live and let live, in a spirit of fraternity and justice, and we sha'l soon be visited with an unpre cedented flood-tide of prosperity and wealth. The Wade and Davis Manifesto. Carpenter, the artist, In his reminiscences of Mr. Lincoln, relates the following : Last year, upon the appearance of what was known as the " Wade and Davis manifesto," an intimate friend and supporter, who was very indignant that such a document should have been put forth just pre vious to the Presidential election, took occasion to animadvert very severely upon the course that prompted it. "-It is pot worth fretting about," said the President;, " it reminds me of an old acquaintance, who, having a son of a scientific turn, bought him a microscope. The boy went around experimenting with his glass upon everything that came in his way. One day, at the dinner table, his father took up a piece of cheese, " 'Don't eat that, father,' said the boy, 4 it is full of wiggles.'" My son,' replied the old gentleman, taking,, at the same time, a husre bite ; l t 'em wiggle ; 1 can stand it if they can.'" Suicide of a Polyoamist Ten Women Widow ed The Cedar Falls Gazette gives an account of the arrest, examination and conviction of a life insurance agent, named Frank hT. Case, from Wisconsin, on a charge of bigamy. It was ascertained that he had married no less than ten different wives, all of whom are livmg. Five of these marriages occurred in the East, aDd the rest in various parts of the West. His last victim was a respectable lady ia Cedar Falls, whom he married clandestinely, in opposition to the wishes of her parents, last April. He has lately been courting anotner lady iu that vicinity, whom he in tended to marry shortly On Fridav morning Case hanged himself in his cell at the jail in Cedar Falls. He did a good thing by so doing. Chicago Journal. The South Eastern Qazette, England, reports that a young woman named Stevens recently had a diflBculty with her Idver and attempted to com mit suicide by jumping from a precipice on the coast, nearly six hundred feet high. She made the fearful leap from the top of the cliff; but her thtk jahmbberv CTOwinET out CrlUUWUC vaUoul' " o - from the rocks at a point about one hundred feet from the top. uere me poor wumu uuug ap pended the greater part of the day, making frantic efforts to tear herself loose and complete the work of self destruction. She was finally rescued by her lover, who was let down from the top by a a rope. - - In New jersey tbe bachelors are taxed one dollar more than married men as enjoying a luxury. THE CITY. Important to Fbekdmxn. The ignorant blacks have been imposed npot in various ways by waggish and evil disposed persons, and in tone instances they have been even led to believe that the government means to settle the whole of them on farms, free grat is for nothing. The following order from Colonel Whlttlesy, chief of Freedmen's Bureau In this 8tate, will explode the free farm business, now, and Induce darkies, we hope, to go to work: Bureau of Refuqees, Freedmen and Abandoned Lands, Headquarters Asst. Commissioner, v State of Nortn Carolina, ) Raleigh, N. C., Aug. 16, 1865. Circular, No. 3. j . It is reported that many freedmen refuse to enter Into contracts for labor, bMnae they believe that farms will be given them bj the U S. Government. If and do thus believe, they have no reason for their belief. The Government ons no lands in this State. It therefore can give away none. Freedmen can ob tain farms with the money which they bave earned by their labor. Every one therefore should work diligently, and carefully save his wages, till he may be able to buy land, and possess his own home. E. Whittles y, ' Col. and Asst. Cums'r. Provost Court, Raleigh, Aug. 22. Numerous offenderavwere before Capt. Adams' tribunal to-day, soldiers for being drunk, negroes for stealing and others for various offences. At 5 a. m. this morniog, private Ryan, Third New York, on guard, at the depot, shot and dangerously wr unded a negro boy who lives with Mr. Litchford near the railroad. Capt. Hodge, who reported the case to Capt. Adams, represented the act as brutal and un provok d. The soldier bad not been arrested up to a late hour in the afternoon. The negro was lying in a critical conditiou at Mr. Litch ford's. What iu "One-Horse Powee ?" The use of the term "horse-power" is very common, yet few except good mechanics and engineers attach a definite mean ing to it, hut regard it as indicating loosely about the power which one horse would exert. It is, however, wben used in tbe sense under consideration, as defin ite act pomo I e, and meaua the power required to lift 38,000 pounds avoirdupois one foot high in one min ute. Some Men seem to get on as If success were a mat ter of course with them. People call them "lucky;" but dan't you see that Inck was the result of work, the improvemeut of time, and the application of en ergy ? "God helps those that help themselves." Take care of the minutes, and the hours will take care of themselves. Be honest, be industrious, be good, and you will be happy, or, at least, you ought to. Changes in the Post Cohmand. The 28th Michr igan regiment arrived yesterday, and it is thought is to form. the garrison for the city. Capt. Adams, at present acting Provost Marshal, is to go home, we learn, with his regiment, the 4th New Hamp shire, and some one from the 28th will, no doubt, succeed him. Without any desire to wage a war upon the dogs of Qur city or cause them to snap at our heels, but with a view to save their "precious" lives, we publish the following, from one of the city ordanances: Sec. 4. Every dog going at large within the limits of the city, from tbe 20th day of May, until the 20th day of September, In each and every year, shall have securely put on a good, strong, substantial and safe wire basket muzsle, enclosing the whole mouth of said dog, so as effectually to prevent him from biting and snapping. The penalty for neglect to bave a dog muzzled, as above provided, is Irom one to two dollars and costs, to be paid by tbe owner, or a failure on their part causes the dog to sacrifice his lite. Breach of Promise. To avoid the expense and publicity attending suits under this head, a society of young ladies has been formed in a certain portion of our country who have used the following circular let ter with great success : " Sib: YoufcrVy remember that you once waved your bannkertjjj at me (or sent me a bouquet, or took me out'fc Jtive, as the case maybe). 1 beg leave to ioforuij i3-.that I have became possessed of arerjeatine rifl&foSffcreat power.

And so ended tbe first term of the Wake county court under the new reign. Attention is called to the new advertisements appearing in our columns. Business men soon find out the paper that is read by the people, as the large array of advertisements in the progress will show. E. J. Warren, Esq., of Beaufort was in the city yesterday. See advertisement of horse and buggy wanted. Also, for Gotten Gin. A youth "of 84 married a maiden of 75 in Xe nia, Ohio lajtweek. CotMlhis year's growth has been brought to the New Orleans market.

Has been described as a knot fixed with the tongue which the teeth cannot un loose. But the teeth themselves, if beautiful by the aid of Sozodont, are powerful agents in producing the facination which leads to marriage. The charm, to which this dilicious preparation lends to the breath, too, has a decidedly hymeneal tendency. White teeth and a pure breath ! What heaii can resist them.
