citizens loyal to the U. S. Government, was the
be aa before the rebellion. H'e only purpose was
preserve the honor of North Carolina. lie was op
sed. to setting the precedent of removing the
iges future conventions might do the same thing,,
thus the objects of the constitution ia placing
Ifi men in office for life, would be eubverted. He

VOL. VI. RALEIGH, THURSDAY, OCT.
0THE CITY.
TnE Slung-Shot Game Tuesday evening, at an
early hour not more than 9 o'clock as a gentlo
tnan stepped out of Crockett's Saloon, at the cornar
of Market and Fayetteville streets, some unknown
person struck him in the face with a slung-shot.
The blow was of such force as to stun him for a
moment, but "recovering from its effects he made
every eflort to discover his assailant without sue- !
cess. -
This is another argument in behalf of increasing
the police of the city. We have heard complaints
of the inefficiency of the present incumbents, but
without pretending to decide that question, we do
undertake to say that the present officers cannot be
at half a dozen different places at one and the same
moment. The truth is plain : their number is not
adequate for the present condition and extent of
our population. They ought to be at least twice
as numerous as now. True, it will cost something
to do this, but if the commissioners have power in
the premises, we conjure them to levy a special per
capita tax on every adult male inhabitant in the
city to meet this extraordinary expenditure. We
are certain no man can be found within the jcorpo
rate limits who would not readily advise, much less
consent to taxation, if thereby life and property.can
be made secure.
It is is sheer nonsense to argue that the police
now operating in Raleigh i9 strong enough to cope
with the criminals in our midst. We should be
gratified and amused if those citizens who presume
to differ from our view would try the experiment
for a week. They would soon change their tune.
Let us have the police force increased or else turn
. W n,l h9(rM"nvPr in tho. military
J f . .
aim l"Ui fcecuic cu"v
Crime grovvs'rapidly, and the expense and, difficul
ty ef suppressing it will be increased and aggrava
ted with the lapse of time. Let us crush it now
with a strong hand.
Sent to Wilmington. A few days since, upon
telegraphic information sent them from Wilming-
too, Officers Betts and Parker arrested two frail
women from that city who had taken up there res
idence in this place. They had them in custody
for a day or two, but ye3terday turned them over to
a policeman from the former city, who bore them
back to their first abode.
These nymphs, it appears, formerly lived with an
lady in Wilmington, who was known to have con
siderable money, a large quantity of jewelry, and
other valuables. She died one day, recently, and
upon examination it was ascertained that not only
the girls, but the treasures of said ancient female
had disappeared simultaneously. Suspicion imme
diately rested upon the creatures we have named
and Maor Dawson, being advised of their arrest
in Raleigh, sent for them in order to investigate the
matter.
Serious Accident. Yesterday afternoon, a son
of Gaston Warren, who resides in the vicinity of
Tucker's mill, had an old bomb shell, and suppos
ing it would not burst, was amusing himself by
driving a nail in the hole which is made to receive
the charge We regret to say the shell had not
been emptied and an explosion took place, blowing
off part of the youth's head, tearing some of his fin
gers, and otherwise injuring him.
Whether he lWes or dies, this sad occurrence
should operate to restrain old nd young from such
experiments.
Playing Cards. The commissioner of internal
revenue ha caused the subject of the liability of
playing cards, properly stamped by the manufactu
rer, to an additional stamp duty in the hands of the
retailer, to be carefully re-considered. After giving
tho ornnnds of his decision, he concludes as lol-
i v w . ,
lows :
"1 am of the oninion that when the manufacturer
of playing cards has affixed stamps appropriate to
the price per pack at which he sold them, the sub
sequent vender should not be required to affix any
additional stamps thereto, whatever may be the
price at which he offers them.
Concerts asd Coscerters. True merit in ev
ery profession which is not esteemed dishonorable,
is entitled to consideration. During a series of en
tertainments in this city, Rollie Wilcox has shown
himself to be a master of the violin and guitar. It
ic nnt mereiv in mose mimic cuiiTeisnuuuai
ductions which he extracts from cat-gut that his
power with the bow is realized. The audience finds
in such imitations provocatives of mirth and won-

his listeners spell-bound by the matchless, exquis
u' uk vrhrh he fills the air. His execu
tion on the guitar is scarcely less remarkable; be
aides his versatility of talent has enabled him to
win considerable repute In histrionic fields.
Charles Dudley is famous not only for his terp
sichorean achievements in masculine character, but
for Dersonations of the Fanny Ellsler style. The
disguise is so complete in dress and movement as
to almost defy detection. In his line he has no su
porior, perhaps, in the South.
" Saxey Ryan has as his fort boneology and delin
eation of negro character as seen in plantation life
throughout the South in other days. He has made
his mark in that department ; indeed, the trio rank
high in the estimation of the patrons of concert.

A Caution. The public should beware of taking
as currency 7-30 bonds from which the coupons
have been detached. There are many of them in
circulation, and unless a stop is put to the practice
it bids fair to become a lucrative business for sharp
ers to purchase 7 30's of the smaller denominations,
summarily discount the interest with the scissors,
and then pass off the bonds as currency.
-
I Wasts to Come Back. A discharged Federal
soldier, having become fascinated with Raleigh and
the "Old North State, n while on duty here, writes
us a letter asking us to secure him a place on a farm
in this vicinity. Any one desiring such tt man can
see the letter at our office, and can answer it if they
desire. J i '
Heaty Receipts. The government sale of wag
ons, horses, mules, &c., in this city a day or two
ago, realized about $05,000. One of the largest
purchasers, in conversation with us, paid Captain
Garoutte a high compliment as an efficient officer
by saying that he kept the stock and other proper
ty in the best possible order.
Rare Chance. Our neighbor Johnson, on mar
ket square, proposes to sell a large stock of groce
ries at auction on Saturday next. This will afford
families a fine opportunity to supply themselves
with the necessaries of Jife.
Another Rain we are rejoiced to say visited
this city and section yesterday. Town and coun
try, are alike jubilant over these refreshings and wc
suppose the distress has been measurably relieved.
Dudley's Benefit comes off at the Exchange ho
tel to-night, having been postponed last night on
account of the weather. He offers an attractive bill
and deserves a bumper.
Election Tickets, in any quantity, from one to
fifty thousand, can be printed at this office on the
shortest possible notice. Price, only one dollar per
thousand.

(Strange Scene in a Home of MourningA
Dead Man comes to Life.
The St. Louis Republican of the 30tb has the fol
lowing : .
John Redman, a oolored man, died (as was sup
posed,) at an early hour yesterday morntDg, at his
residence, over the 2roc3rv store on the northeast
nrnoy nf Franklin avenue and Twelfth street. A
coffin. and a shroud were procured, aod the colored
corpse, after being washed, shaved and dressed In
the burial clothes, was laid out in the coffin. While
his bereaved wife was ringing her tears out of a ban
danna handkerchief, and numerous frieods, "mute
with grfef," were sitting around the dead body,
talking about what a good man he was, Mr. Red
man suddenly raised himself bolt upright in his
rffin. with the maisstv of death in his cold face.
Moving his not entirely slightless orbs around upon
the company Of mourners, his clay lips began to
chatter some unintelligible words about the other
world. The result of this hideous performance was
to upset the whole assemblage with sudden berror,
the female friends fainting and tumbling into each
others arms at the sight of the ghost, the men them
selves caving in, and with dilated eyes, ruahiug hur
riedly out of the room. Mrs. Redman, the distressed
widuw. was among the number who fainted. When
she came to, she ran out oi tne room ami uuu ui -uo
bouse, and nothing could induce her to return during
the day, uotwithstauding she was assured that her
haabaud had coma to be conscious, and that the
doctor thought he might recover. We are not in
formed as to the nature of Redman's disease, but are
iuformed that he was attended by au intelligent phy
sician, wb regards the circumstance of his suldeu
restoration, when, to all appeuances, be had ben a
iifelass man, as something almost preternatural.
Important Order-Negro Troops to Garrison
Southern Forts Musterin Out Ac.
Lieuienant General Grant has issued an impor-.
tant order which will very speedily muster out
of service all the volunteer army. He has assigned
the artillery for the most part to the forts of the
Northern States ; the forts of the Southern sea
board, witb two or three exceptions, are to be in
charge of colored troops. All the volunteer caval
ry east of the Mississippi goes out of service forth
with Other reductions are in progress, and it will
nt be many weeks, if nothing goes awry, before
we shall be reduced almost entirely down to the
regular army.
Attempted Murder. On Saturday evening, be
tween the hours of seven and eight o clock, as Mr.
B J. White and brother were returning to their
home about two miles from the city, on the Plank
Road, they were suaaeniy j -
