A grup of six new houses it the Pennsylvania oil regions is called "Imperial City;" Three bold men Investigated the haunted church mystery at Jersey Chy and found that the doleful gounds proceeds! from an imprisoned cur. The church had been left by the workmen in an un fio1sKl create. Some "reformers" tried to get up a "World's Health Convention" in B -stem the other day, and fizzled out to a baker's dozen. Not a very healthy sign for health reformers. A pretty accurate estimate of the defalcations of Edward B. Ketchnm has now been arrived at, and it foots up the enormous amount of four million two hundred thousand dollars. A letter passpd through the New York Post-office last week, from San Francisco for Dresden, Prussia, the postage upon which was $1,720 040. The Hartford Times says that wtjen Secretary Welles was in that city last week " he did not hesi tate to express his opinions as decidedly opposed to negro Suffrage." Tb-re are numerous bank applications to be rnade United States depositories. Bat it is defcr mined to have no more than one for each Congression al district. The Charleston News of the 16lh says: "The thermometer in our office h s been standing so long at 00 degrees, and there is at this time so little dan ger of its falling, that we have drawn the nail by which it was suspended." Two young Virgi ians, who were recently dis charged frm the Uuion army, returned to their homes in Green County, when they were informed that they would certainly be assassinated, if tbey re mained, by ex-rebel soldiers. Mr Greeley says there was a majority of at least fifty profes-ed radicals irt the New York Re publican Convention, but they had no adhesion or discipline, and so were seldomenabled ro profit by their strength a d allowed devotionto men to overbear attachment to principles. He calls the platform timid and wordy. - The books of the Federal undertaker at Nash ville, Tennessee, show that e has b iried, since the Federal occupation of the city, 13,631 soldiers and Gov rnment employees (1,000 of the latter) ; also, 8,00CTC'nfederate soldiers and 10,000 contrabands refugees. The President has either adopted a more lib eral policy concerning pardons'or has improved tjie method of passng upon them. The number issued within a week must greatly exceed that of any cor responding period of his ad ninistration He has notified the Attorney General to send him no more applications at present. It is estimated that fully fifteen thousand are now in the White House awaiting his signature. Rear Admiral David D. Porter has assumed formal command of the Naval Academy, and active efforts are now being made to have everything ready by the first of October The school ships Costitut'on and Santee are in an advanced state of preparation for the reception f the new class of midshipmen. The other vessels attached to the academy are the frigatd Ma edonian, Commander Fairfax ; frigate Savannah, sloop of-war Marion, double-ender Winnepec, steamers Perriwinkle, Mercury and Phlox, and yacht America. The Indian Commissioners have notified Sec retary Harlan that they haveiscertained that John Ross, the educated Cherokee, and formerly Chief of that Nation, was a RebelEmissary during tha rebellion, and; by means of fcrfs superior education and adroitness, induced manyf his people to ab jure their allegiance to the United States, and to join the armies of the Confederate States. He still claims to be Chief of the Cherokees, and as such is using his subtile influence to poison the minds of those Indians who are truly loyal, and who are dis posed to enter into a permanent peace and amity with the United St ates. The Commissioners nave therefore refused to recognize him, and the Presi ident sustains them.

TOL- VI- RALEIGH, SATURDAY, SEPT. 30, 1865. NO. 272 THE CITY. Yoh Kippub The Jewish Day or Atonement. This day (the SOth of September) is the most solemn and sacred In the Jewish calewUr. We are not aware that our Israeiitish friends have a syna gogue in this city, but whether organised in a body or not, those of their number here will doubtless " afflict their souls" after the custom or requirements of their creed, the soul by repentance and the body by fasting from " even to even." Thedrigin and in stitution of Yom Kippur is to be found in Lev. xvi. 29. "And it shall bo unto you a statute forever, in the sevpnth month on the tenth of the month, you shall afilict your souls and do no work at ail," &c. " The first among your Sabbaths this -shall be unto you," &c, and again in Lev. xxiv., which the n-ader may refer to. Whilst the Israelites in their own land worshipped at the altar of their temple, and in stoic accordance with the rites dictated by their God through M ses, the service of this day was equally splendid. It was the only day through the year on which even the high priest presumed to enter the most holy sanctum ary of the temple, or to pronounce the venerated and dreaded name of the Deity, which, at any other time, it was unlawful even for him to utter. According to tradition, even before the giving of the Law, this was a day of atonement and pardon. Adam did penance and was pardoned on this day, Abraham en tered into covenant of the circumcision on this day, Moses, alter he had broken the first tablets, ascended the Mount again on the first day of Elal so that the second forty days expired with the Yom Kippur, on which day the Lord pardoned his people and revealed his thirteen attributes. The eve is allotted to solemn feasting, and at sun set the twenty-four hours fast and continued prayers commence. These prayers chiefly consist of confes sions of sins and imploring divine mercy for pardon It ia customary in the evening for the parent to give his benediction to his children, with all the solemnity of his dying momenta. Whosoever meet on this day. be they acquainted or not, salute each other with brotherly love and sincerity. All private disputes are reconciled before the parties can presume to enter the sanctuary on this day, and he that is conscious f having wronged his neighbor is bound to make repa ration. At the close of the services one long note is sounds to commemorate the blowing ot the trumpet, which formerly to k place on this day in the land of Judea, in case that thj year was a year of jubilee. Anothes Outbade A p irty of gentlemen and some ladies, we regret to bear, were attacked ou Thursday night, about oar miles from the city, on the Pittsooro road. As the statHmrt comes to us, they were oming to Rileigh to market and camptd at i he point mentioned. Ten or twelve negroes then approached and attacked them. Tbey soon, howev er, obtained arms, when the negroes ran ff The as saulted par y afterwards heard fire-arms a short dis tance anove them, the darkies having discharged their guns without either Knowing themselves or giving any Intimation of such a purpose. This and other recent transactions of a similar na ture induce us to warn country folks' from t,he bad habit of camping on the suburbs ot the city. Besides, they should come prepared to summarily dispatch lawless bands whether white or black. But a short time can elapse before civil authority will be fully restored until then they must protect themselves with the aid of the military. Board or Trade. With what reason we have never been able to understand, but certain it is ithat; inland towns and cities rarely ever organize boards of trade. We hope that the business men of Raleigh will, however, seta good example of re form in this matter by forming such an institution at once. A thorough knowledge of the productions, and the condition of mechanical industry in the country round about us will ba of infinite advan tage to the mercantile community. Indeed, in the absence of such statistics, it is almost impossible to see bow merchants and tradesmen cau m ke se lections of their supplies with any considerable de gree of intelligence. . - m t A Fixed Fact-. With their accostomed modesty, Maxon & Strong this morning salute the people by a partial enumeration of the new and really elegant goods just received from the North. The firm is a Strong one in more than one respect, adding to other qualities Industry, enterprise, experience and polite ness. Young in the trade here, they are 61 J merch ants of reputation and integrity, and we can confi dently commend tbem to city and country patronage. Bead their advertisement and then look for your selves. HIM Direct Trade with Europe. Messrs. Hughes & Dill, two of the most enterprising men in the State, announce in our advertising columns that tbey are freighting the fine ship Benj. Adams at Moreherd City, direct for Liverpool. Certainly this bare men tion will be ample to Induce our people to send orward cotton, naval stores and other supplies adapted to the demands of foreign markets. Let us see to it that such enterprises are not withdrawn for want ot full freightage. MoyraiBNTs, Mantels, &a From their adver tisement it will be seen that Messrs. King, White law k Co., have established themselves at the old stand of Maunder & Co., on Fayetteville street, and that they are prepared to furnish almost anything which ean be fashioned from marble. They are xperts in their Business And will give prompt at tention to all orders in their line. Who are Entitled. It appears exceedingly difficult for freedmen to understand what classses of their number will bo furnished transportation at expense of the government Only such destitute refugees and freedmen as are dependent upon the United States for support are- entitled, and then merely to such parties as are likely toJBnd employ ment and become se'f supporting. The assistant commissioners are required to confine such grants to their particular jurisdictions. It will tend ro lay an embargo on certain pestif erous individuals, now that only the regularly re cognized teachers of the bureau are to be allowed fre transportation. The Colored Coxvehtiok. Agreeable to pre vious appointment, delegates representing colored men in a number of the counties of this State, as sembled in Raleigh, yesterday, in the Methodist African Church. Their temporary organisation was effected by calling John (lood, of Craven, to the chair, and the appointment of. John Randall and Geo. "W. Price as Secretaries. : Committees were then selected on credentials, rules for government of the convention, on perma nent organization, &c.t after which an adjournment to 2 o'clock, was moved and carried.

It occurred in the neighbor hood of Liege, and has spread ruin far and wide. Tne accompanying gale caught people up in the air and dashed them to the ground, cut off the tops of some large trees, and felled many other trees to the ground, stwpped railway trains and overthrew houses, and was attt nded by thunder and floods of rain.--Altogether it was one ot the most disastrous storms that has ever visited the country. The National Equal Rights League assembled in annual meeting in Cleveland, Ohio, last week. About one hundred and fifty delegates were present, cemprleiBg representatives from Virginia, North Ca rolina, Tennessee, New York, Michigan, New Jersey, C .nnecticut, Ohio, Pennsylvania and other States. The meetiDg was largely attended by colored men in the South. The main purpose of the Equal Righta League is to secure for the colored people of this country equality before State and national law.
