Adding the cost of inquest, claimed damages, doctors and un dertakers' bills,' we would not ! dare to reckon it short of $30,(lk)0,000 in barren dgures. But ths moral loss must be far greater. We learn, from the Edgefield (S. C.) Advertiser that the branches of the South Carolina Railroad between Branchville-and Johnston's Turn Out, and from Orangeburg to Columbia, are under contract, and are being rapidly pushed toward completion. The Greenville and Columbia road is in running or Jer from Greenville to Alston, and the remainder fit, which is not of much length, is being rapidly tit in order. The North Eastern Railroad is now inning its entire length from Charleston to Flor ace! The Wilmington and Manchester road is inning from Kingsville 97 miles of its length-, and ill be in order its entire length, it is said, during us month. The Cheraw and Darlington road al i is now running its entire length. The Colutn a and Hamborg road has a large force of work en on it, and is rapidly being pushed forward. it Charleston and Savannah Railroad is running I whole length. -Some curious recorder, w'io take- note of gurh ngs, publishes the following is a complete list prominent defalcations, politely speaking, which " occurred:during the past two months : barles Windsor, Mercantile Bank $275,000.

The riarksviUe (Texas) Standard contains a cir t istantial account of the killing of a man named tor, a returned Confederate soldjer, by the para : 3ur of his Wife, a physician in good practice and c otherwise respectable character. He decoyed h. ; victim into the woods and then shot him. Tl.3 people gave him a jury trial, convicted him cn the testimony of the woman, and hung him. The Providence .ottfna! says, by authority, that th paragraph: going the rounds of the papers res 1 :ting the purchase of a railroad in Indiana by C:i Burnside and .another -gentleman, contains J inaceurate statements. They are interested 19 roid named, and hope, after some hard work, S remunerated fairly, but indulge in no such ivagant expectations as the imaginative letter ar who penned the paragraph represented. -George N, Sanders, the unabducted, now goes 3d by permission of the authorities of Montreal, wears a belt or girdle, in which are slung his Ivers and a bowie knife, while in his side pock a carries his small revolvers, making hi per quite an arsenal. -A Washington reporter says that General Ew personal appearance is not prepossessing. features are sharp, his eyes restless, never re- to V.

When An y came hprne a few days ago, he found two ba in his house which were not there when he and of which he had not tho slightest personal lledge, calling his wife "mother." The pres- lof a maninaraed Reikart, who was "boarding" I Mrs. Grws,' accounted for the increase of the jia, and the aforesaid Reikart is now in the St 1 jail, awaiting his trial for adultery.

The organization is now well on its wny horn", an 1 liking to speak kindly af the absent, we bavVto sav that as a body they made many friends aur 2 ihn' people of Raleigh. Of course there were iustanas of individual misbehavior, and occasionallv tationa of sectional animosity ; but sueh things wer rare during their stay in nr midst, and ev.'M tho, a instances resulted rather from the ill-fee!ioc sprung flush of into existence by four years of war and the excitement which succeeded its prompt and almost unexampled spasmodic close. The spirit of triumph on one side, always difficult to supprpv, nd de pression on theothr, always stimulative iu r -.tl int natures of unusual seLsitiveness, truly exn'aii.tj thu original difficulty ; yet time and intercourse bid to far remoyed the apples of discord, as to make us think that the regiment bears with it 110 other than tho kiad wishes of the people of the city. The Fall Fashions The September magjzues furnish indisputable evidence that the worid of fash ion has not abated in extravigaa-e of fan y, thougli there hare been 1 fewohan2'8 fr the better in some of the modes. Demorest saya tnat .tho broid belts, with which ladies have disfigured themselves durine the naatKP-.i- I m son, have been superseded by those adapkd to pro- poruou; the bus, u nuiy buckle is a'so iu disfavor, 5 and is replaced by a mall, neat clasp, prettier and I more convergent. Bonnets are smaller aud queerer than ever, with square crowns cnt half away, and placet! with a bit of straight cape. While tu!la veils are worn. Hair is still vsry fashionable, but uot i elaborate over, the forehead For dress material, black prevails but plain, subdued color? we w -rn T .

F r full irtirnl ;.; we refe our lady frienda 10 the mnothlie Hoop Skiets Ancient and Modicrn -A Funnt Question. A lady, resident In the cou .fry . d-sir-s to know the difference between the old l)!ru n! a 1 what U known as the duplex elliptic ho prskirt With every disposition t oblige the ladies, it id sorpc- J what singular the m ittar should have been referred to us without first ascavtaiuing "our situatiou." Ii" on marrled, we have no right to 1 A ioto suc'i myste ries or pronounce on the relative excellence of pre vailing styles. We have ueverseen one tried nn-r-indeed, we are so unsophisticated as not to be ceitaia whether wearers try for fit or not; but a lady of charmiog proportions (ipparently, Wd mean) lelis us she prefers the double spring. She i3 rem irkabl 3 for her taste and we take it for granted our eod jrse ment of her choice will become us. The duplex elliptic spring skirt, though a recent invention, has become very popular, and is rapidly obtaining the preference over other kindg in us. The rods in it are compost each of two delicate and well- , tempered steel springs, which are ingenlonsly braided together, edge to edgi, th ; lower rods heavier, and having a double coveriu. Thn peculiarity of con struction makes this skirt very strong aud durable, and alsoso exceerliagly flxiblp that, it raadHv adipts itself to the form of tho weuer, and allows of any amount of doubling and crushing without injury to its shape. These skirts are unquestionably the light est, most desirable, comfortable and economical ever made. These are advantages which ladies, who have experienced the discomfort and Inconvenience of single springs, will duly appreciate. Habpkb's Magazine -for September sent us several days since by West, and then merely referred to, deserves a full notice. It continues Ross Browne's Trip to Bodie's Bluff and the singular Mmo Lake, or, as Browne calls it, the "Dead Sea ot the West." Prom this wild region of Califoroia he next bends his steps to Walker's Lake, iu Nevada. . The present paper is interesting, though less vivacious and char- acterlstic than usual. "Miss Pink's First Reason" is a series of illustrations representing the trials and pleasures of a faahionible yo ing woman o-j her first entrance into what is called society, with slight sketchy letter-press to match. The drawings have some merit. "Sketches of Social Life in China" ia an abstract of a new book by Rav. Dr. Doollttle, which is more careful and minute, and bears evidence of more real study and extensive acquaTntanco with the Chinese, than anything which has been befor pub lished. The illustrations are numerous and excel lent. I Indeed, the present number of this monthly is fully up to the mark which its publishers made years ago. Its political features are occasionally too radi cal for pur taste and sometime really unfair; but in spite of such defects, "Hirper" will always be popu lar with the public. O0A.BTEBLT Meetings.

The County Convention The grand pow-pow among the chief sachems of tlltion districts of this county, m which came off at the court-house last Saturday morning was a magnificent farce J so far as practical results are concerned. At meridian, on motion of W. B. Jones, Thomas Wynne was invited to the .Presidency, and J. W. Wiggins appointed Secretary of the Convention. I The wig-wam having been reduced to orderly condition,, a call of the election districts was au thorized, when it appeared that only seven of the ! twentJ-ne had sent delegations Calvin J. Rogers, who had been recommended by numerous meetings for a candidacy, was present and defined his position. His personal wish was n6t to be a candidate for the State Convention, and he greatly preferred that three ldyal, conscientous men should be chosen without reference to him self. Several other gentle nen, who did not claim to be accredited to the convention as delegates, made remarks, until some person very pertinently sug gested that such proceedings appeared to be very unusual as well as informal, and moved that onty delegates should be allowed either vote or voice. Dr. Hicks thought the delegates from Wake re quired the servi& s of an advisory board, and as suming to ply that vocation,, was called down upon the suggestion that he was not entitled to make a speech as he did not represent a constituency. These movements, so erratic, provoked much merriment, and after motions looking to a series of j resolutions expressive of the sense of the meeting, adjournment, nomination of candidates, future as- sembling and the like, had been voted down, the at tempt to adjourn without date or design was suc cessfully carried. We had intended to daguerreotjpe the whole show as it occurred; but a spirit of true charity imbibed during the worship of yesterday, inspired a disposition of forbearance, and we content our selves with the simple statement of the most res pectable features of the exhibition. It was a ridiculous affair principally because of the failure of a majority of the people of Wake to send delegatesJThe result has not, however, dis appointed our p-feaictiona. The people will now without the legerdemain too common in the past un der oM party management go to the polls and make honest choice between the different gentle men who are candidates. Provost's Sanctum. The criminalities appear to be reducing in number and we hope quality. Capt. Mclvor and hia assistant are much mere disposed to engage in the amiable than the ferocious to release rather than arrest men, If they can do so and at the same time protect their own consciences as well as advaLce law. May they have a good time generally. Satnrday they had only a solitary case that of one Nancy Clark upon the charge of grand larceny. Wcu. Grimes made the complaint that Nance, while acting in the capacity of a servant ia his hon?o, lef the premises one fine night, taking with her clothing valued at $184.00 The proof as to her gnilt not being conclusive, but suflHnt to justify the impression of bad eg?, she was ordered to leave the city within twelve hours or at least by 9 o'clock Sunday. Yesterday universal peace prevailed in the city up to the closing of our report, 6 p. ra. Able DiscouRsp.-We had the pleasure, yesterday, for the first time since our residence in Raleigh, of listening to the Rev. Dr. Craven, of the Methodist Episcopal church. His discourse on naturalness, with the added point of genuine bible care for sovls, was cot merely instructive, but able, simple, elo quent and unanswerable. The lesson inculcated was most valuable as effecting both the social and moral relations of our species. At night, the sermon was thoroughly metaphysi cal an argument from scripture supported and il lusrrated by well ascertained scientific principles in Vehalf of the-ioductive as well as productive quali ties of sin, and the direct responsibility of men to the great law-giver for the use of the agencies with which thev are endowed and entrusted. Both discourses v stamp him as a strong, cautious and finished thinker. It is not inappropriate to remark thatthe choir J of his church, as a body, is the best in the city. I Some of the ladies have voices of remarkable com- I pass and sweetness and we are glad to know from their numbers that they feel a just pride in using them in so noble service as that of the sanc tuary. Bayoneted. Some misunderstanding took place Saturday afternoon between a soldier and citizen, du ring which the former bayoneted the latter In or near the throat. We understand that upon Inquiry into the merits of the case, the authorities sustained the soldier and released bim from arrest. The wounded man, we nre gratified to state, ig as comfortable as could be expected and no apprehen sion appears to be felt for hia ultimate recovery. Death of J .D. Campbell. We regret to learn by a passenger through from Goldsboro last night, of the death of this eentleman, a member of the pub - hshing house of Messrs. sterling, , vampoeu ai- I bricht. of that town.
