nothing objectionable political in the discourses.
They in fact merely urged devotion and loyalty to
the government as a duty of Christian citizens.
Bishop Whitehousehas now put the climax on his
conduct by expelling Grace Church from his dio

Business in Raleigh-A First Class Estab
lishment. Raleigh, one of the fairest cities of the
sunny South, has derived from the close of the war
an impetos to its commercial prospects which bids
fair to rival the richest anticipations of her most san
guine sons. . This is evidenced in the rapid duplica
tion of her business houses ; the opening of new
branches of trade ; the origination of new enterprises ;
the location in our midst of strangers ; and the large
Increase of capital as the basis of all such elements of
renewed and added material life.
The latest evidence of liberal enterprise we have
noted is the case of Mr. J. Kinsey, who, with paint,
brush and mechanical skill, has so brightened up his
place of business, at the intersection of Fayetteville
street with Mrkt place, as to give it something of
a pala t 1 pev4o.ee. But he has not been satisfied
with external ornamentation. It is a thorough and
carefui inspection of bis stock of superb goods and
the extent of the outlay of capital which has particu
larly impressed our minds.
His advertisement, to be found In the proper de
partment of the "Progress," will afford a bird's-eye
view of the variety and quality of his stock, but it is
necessary to inspect them personally if you wonld
realize in full the beauty and freshness of the goods
There we find American and foreign prints from the
most famous mills of a dozen countries ; ladies' dress
goods of every shade and hue ; among them poplin,
delaines, plaids, ginghams, ect., etc. ; brilliants and
merinos ; and we might almost say everything Ht
recognised as elegant in the fashionable or necesa y
in the domestic world. The sslection of nubies, hdu,
hoods, scarfs and the more ornamental articles of the
toilet surpasses anything we have seen in any other
North Carolina city they remind us more of tht
grandeurs of dry goodery in New York than the
displays of small cities.
While this is true of the supplies for ladies, the
wants of gentlemen have not been neglected. The
stock of Ready-made Clothing, boots, shoes, hats,
caps and the like Is not so large as we have seen, but
in make, quality, style and cheapness is ample for the
demands ot town and country. This will be realized
by those who may visit the store and investigate for
themselves. Besides, there Is a choice exhibition of
groceries, hardware, &c. &o., both heavy and light.
This Is not a puff, or exaggeration ; indeed, it is
not even a full exhibit of fads ; but It sufficiently
reflects that Newborn and Wilmington havo need to
practice great enterprise and energy, or else Raleigh
will outstrip th em in the matter of merchandize and
general trads. Let them look to their honors.
Counterfeit Notes. AH the postal and fraction
al currency, both that .printed in New York and
that printed in the Jtfeasury, except the very last
issues printed atfce Treasury, have been counter
feited. Nearly all the denominations of the so-called
"greenback" or "legal tender" notes printed in
New York, have been counterfeited or altered to
higher denominations, viz :
Ones both counterfeited and altered to Tens.
Twoes altered to Fifties.
Twenties counterfeited.
Fifties counterfeited
One hundreds cou terfeited.
None of the notes (except fractional) which have
been printed in the Treasury, have been counter
feited. The five, six, seven-and-three-tenths per
cent notes compound interest, notes, &c, have all
so far escaped imitation by the counterfeiters. It
is only those printed in New York that have been
successfully imitated. The currency of the nation
al banks has not yet been counterfeited, notwith
standing the reports to that effect. Those notes
were designated at the Treasury Department, and
executed in New York. Wnen they are executed
according to the original design it is is believed
they, like the five, six and seven and three-tenths
per cent, notes, will defy the counterfeiter's skill.
ANOTHEBiOuTBla:E---W ; learn that on Saturday
ni'ht last a party of negroes vUited the house of Mr.

robbed him of one barrel of brandy, watch chain,
greenbacks, and other things, besides beating him
nearly tovdeath. ,.: -
RALEIGH, MONDAY, SEPT.
Embarbssing Mistake. Two ladies of Ra
leigh were) promenading Fayetteville BtreeJ last.
Saturday, when they discovered a female; acquain
tance passing them in a carriage. Anxious to at
tract her attention, they made various demonstra
tions, and finally began to kiss their hands to her
in a very loving and onergatic manner. The Jehu
driving the carriage, saw the operation and thought
they were intended for him. He hesitated until the
next kissing was renewed, and then, no longer
doubtful, returned it with a will, to the great mer
riment of spectators, but to the evident chagrin and
disgust of the la"dies in question.
Sons op Malta. Rumor hath it that this order
has been revived and that a lodge is soon to be
opened here under charter from the national
council. We presume their old objsct obtaining
possession of the island of Cuba is the basis prin
ciple, with charity as secondary. A lady from the
North, who knows something of their mysteries,
suggests that about the time the Sons get the con
trol of Cuba, the Daughters confidently expect to
subjugate the Isle of Man.
A Lucky Place. It would appear, if we could
believe in incantations and the like, that thoro is lack
in the atmosphere ot Raleigh. Gcp. 0x, ouce serv
ing ia this city, has been nominated for governor of
Ohio and will no doubt be elected. We now learn
that Gen. Harrison C. Hobart, the first federal com
mander of infantry who entered this city, has receiv
ed nomination for the gubernatorial office of Wis
consin. There is luck in the city of oaks.

shape of a p an n el led door, fell on the drama.
The outraged wife was not disposed, however, " to

being given she kept her wcrd, broke in, entered be
