journalist, made his appearance, having just re

It will be recollected that.tluring the conspira
cy .trial, two printers employed in the office of the
Selma Dispatch, testified that George W. Gale was
the author of an advertisement which appeared in
the Dispatch, soliciting contributions of a million
dollars with which to procure the assassination of
President Lincoln and certain members cf his Cab
icet. Gale was in Washington when the testimony
was given, and bad engaged counsel to conduct bis
case, in the event of his trial in Washington. But
he was removed Ssutb, where he has ever since been
in confinement. Recently the President ordered that
he be transferred to a civil instead of a military court
for trial, in Alabama.
The freedmen's bureau at Washington has receiv
ed intelligence that John Davis, brother of Jeff., has
written an Important letter to an officer of the freed
tnca'o bureau of the State of Mississippi, in which he
demands the restoration of not only hie own bat bis
brother's land on the Mississippi river, which is now
profitably cultivated, as it has been for two years, by
most promising colony of active, energetic, intelligent
and thrifty freedmen. So the Washington correspon
dents say.
Forty millions of the new issue of fifty million
Five-Twenty Bonds, for funding compound interest

i A register has been compiled in the War De
partment, and is now in the hands of the printer,
which gives the name and rank of every volunteer of
ficer who served since the commencement of the late
war. The register contains also such other official
information concerning each officer as can be of any
interest to him or his friends.
A post office has been established at Deep River,
Guilford county, in this State, and Elihu E. Menden
hall appointed postmaster.
The Troy papers state that'Rev. Mr. Cabart, of
that city, has disposed of the patent for an oscillating
steam valve cf his invention for the snug little sum of
one hundred thousand dollars.
That "private dinner" given to Hon. A. H. Ste
phens, at the Revere House, was, indeed, very pri

Boston Traveller, consisted of three persons.
I Some of the papers announce that Mrs. Caroline
V arden, of M dford, Mass , after a ride in the horse
car, Saturday, found that there was a diamond ring
In her pocket. Sbe remembers a fleshy chap sitting
fat her side, and as her pocket-book, w4th a few notes
in it, was g ne, it i- supposed the ring accidentally
slipped from his finger whn abstracting it. The

Clemency. The Richmond Whig says : " Jef
ferson .Davis, late President of the Confederate
States, and Charles Clarke, late Governor of Miss
issippi, commanded the First and Second regiments
M" Mississippi Rifleman in the Mexica i war. The
ame of those two regiments is historic. While
heir commanders are incarcerated in powerful for
Ifications, let some of the glory they addtd to (he
old flag" speak in behalf of clemency."
I The Pres;dent is daJy in receipt of memorials in
aehalf of Jeff. Davis. A few days ago, Judge PhiU
lips, of Alabama, at thejequest of the petitioners,
presented one signed by nearly five thousand ladies
of Georgia, and on Monday an anonymous commu
nication, eight pages long, apparently written by a
female, was received, appealing for mercy for Davis
pn the ground that he had 'rendered valuable ser
vice to the country in various pub'ic positions, as
Cabinet officer, and fought bravely in the Mexican
war; that he was no more criminal than the others
jwho figured in ihe rebellion, aud who have been
pardoned.
The Lawrence (Mass.) American tells a story of
the marriage in that city of a couple, the bridegroom
fbeiog from Wisconsin, and the bride a resident of
Lawrence. Immediately after marriage the lady
told hernewly wedded husband that she was un
worthy of him, givjng reasons which emphatically
proved the statement ; said she loved another ; that
she was coerced into the marriage and would not
live with her husband, and the two thereupon part
ed, the lady np'eantime being formally disowned by
her parents. '
Comet Endangering the Earth. Southey, in
his "Common Place Book," relates that in A. D.
1712, Whi8ton predicted that the comet would ap
pear on Wednesday, 14th October, at five minutes
after five in the morning, aud that the world would
be destroyed by fire on Friday following. His repu
tation was high, and the comet appeared. A num
ber of persons got into boats and barges on the
Thinaes, thinking the water the safest place. South
Sea and India stock fell. A captain of a Dutch
ship threw all his powder into the river, that the
ship-might not be endangered. At noon, after the
comet had appeared, it is said that more than one
hundred clergymen were ferried over to Lambeth, to
request that proper prayers might be prepared, there
being none in trie church service. People believed
that the day of judgment was at hand, and some
scted on this belief, more as it some temporary evil
was to beexpected. On Thursday, more than 7000
kept mistresses were publicly married. There was a
prodigious run on the bank ; Sir Gilbert Heathcote,
It that time head director, issued orders to all the fire
ffices in , London, requiring them to keep a good
.ookout, and have a particular eye upon ths baDk of
Sngland.
I The Piedmont Railroad was taken possession of
me months since by the agents of the United
states government, under the impression that it
vas built by the Confederate States, andjustly con
iscatable under the acts of Congress. Governor
lerpoint, of Virginia, and Dr. Powell, of North
-arolina, have succeeded in satisfying the authori
ses that it was built by the Danville Railroad cor
poration and never passed out of its possession.
Jhe reDei government offered to advance a million
dollars for its construction, taking the fconds of the
TknTille road therefor J but tfae offer was declined.
Ane Piedmont road will therefore be delivered to
r lormer owners.

Dr. John H. Blae, of Missouri, is writing to th.
St. Louis Republican a series of letters from Rio Ja
neiro, descriptive of the 'adventures of the emigrant,
from the South who have settled in Brazil. He
says:
Judge John Guillet, an old and highly esteemed
citizen of Carroll county, with several families and a
Mr. Keavia, of Cooper county, Nissouri, with his in
teresting family, are now here (August), making
about forty North Americans in all, the nucleus of a
good settlement around Col. M. L. Swain, of Loui
siana, who has located and paid for a body of land
on the Assunguy, a branch of the Serro Negro river,
which empties into this bay from the northwest, and
which is the only practicable route to the mines and
to the rich open country beyond. We have already
houses and a little store, and will soon have a black
smith shop and a school house, the government giv
to8 US fiv hundre mi,rei8 a year to support a school.
We have small crops of corn, beans and potatoes
growing finelyand expect to keep ahead of the wants
of new comers in the way of food. All of this dates
from about the time I came into the bay, a period of
less man tnree months.

charge nothing extra for bringing them to Parana
gua, from which we are distant across the bay, nort h
ward, forty miles. They advise the shipment of all
clothes, tools, and everything portable, which may
be on band, and cannot be sold for a fair price, as
farmers and others will find everything useful here
to which they have been accustomed, and perhaps
find it dearer and inferior. Clothiug is cheap enough
here, coming from England and France, but blankets
and bedclothes are always wanted in a new settle

amiss.
to New York with dispatch, but they chanre much
more man commission merchants. In either case,
bind the parties to deliver them bv a specified time
and examine the packages before paying charges in
New York, to see that they are not broken open or
mjumd. Any respectable commission merchant in
St. Louis or elsewhere ought to arrange all these
matters better than I can.
You ought to have some fiiand or agent in Nrw

dollars, golrf ajjiece for DroniUna past-ports froui tbo
consuls in the ports of the Uoittd States is not vet
done away with, as it should be, in the case of bona
hde emigrants; but a man and his whole family pass

have written to have the whole fee remitted.
I opened a correspondence with Senor Marcondes,
the Minister of Agriculture, and obtained the favor
able concessions. And I have taken pains to .im
press the Brazilians with the fact that this is no co
lonization scheme, to empty poor houses and peni
tential les cn their shores, and to tell oar couutrymen
at Rio that it is no speculation of myselt nor any
other individual ; but an emigration of independent
families, like the pioneers of Kentucky and Tennes
see, whom the fortunes of a deplorable wa; have
made refugees and who seek here an asylum. We
believe in the futute greatness ot Brazil, and are wil
ling to brave the ocean and the wilderness to bein
a new and prosperous career under the patronage of
the good Emperor, whose character, in the estimation
of all parties, is most saintly.
Exchange Hotel, Raleigh, N. C,
October 17, 1865." J
Mr. Editor: Aware that virtue always has its
reward, wnether known or unknown, yet it becomes
every one to speak of marked incidents and instances
when this reward is especially due.
Ii is a common opinion that the Northerners and
ourf elves will never again harmonize; that neither
side care for the other ; and even that irritation is
intentionally practiced daily in order to widen the
breach.
Having the pleasure of beiug a boarder at this
most accommodating and prosperous house, and see
ing constantly the intercourse existing between
Northerners and Southerners, I can safely say it
seems the sincere desire of these strangers amongst
us to render themselves truly agreeaole in courtesies
and intelligent conversation, and, as far as by me
seen, is likewise responded to by the other party. I
am very glad to see it, because deeming it both a po
litical and moral duty.
But my article to-day is designed more especially
for reference to our most worthy Provost Marshal,
Captain George L. Montgomery, of Detroit, whose
constant wish is to serve all coming before him for re
lief oi any kind, and most strikingly careful to be
prompt and earnest in answering every call the pe
culiar institution of the Confederate population
makes upon him in his official capacity.
This, his natural and uniform conduct has so struck
me, that I cannot forbear speaking ot it, and trust he
will pardon me for so doing, as I know he would not
consent to praise if he knew of its application to
him.
May he continue thus in the office so adorned by
him, and set a good example to all in like position;
while the army remains may there be no change in
our Provo, and when he leaves may it be to find hap
piness wherever he goes. Confederate.
George N. Sanders, in his greed for notoriety,
was "kidnapped," it will be remembered, at Mont
real, and was rescued at the toll-gate by the timely
and pre-arranged presence of police who overhauled
the carriage. The case has just undergone judicial
examination, and the only sufferers seem to have
been the jury, who were locked up over Sunday
and finally discharged becausethey could not agree.
It was shown by Sanders' own testimony to have
been a 11 made up " affair. George acknowledged
that he wanted to exhibit himself in St. Lawrence
Hall with handcuffs. Not a particle of evidence
was offered to show that the kidnappers were
United States agents ; and the counsel for their de
fence urged with reason that Sanders was a fellow
conspirator, equally liable with themselves to any
charge, of disturbing the peace.

RALEIGH, TUESDAY, OCT.
THE CITY.
Persons in city and country are requested, at all
times, to furnish us verbal or written information of any
eventsof public interest which may transpire ia their
neighborhoods, or of which thy may hare knowledge.
The Time. Through some ipstrumentality to us
unknownj the pendulum ani hammer of the town
clock moved yesterday and ths merry tones of olden
times fell upon ears that had not beard such music
for many months. "Egad," aclaimed a grey-haired
citizen, "we have a lle boardof commissioners; they
are not dead, but have been eeplng, and now, like
men, awaken to a just sense of duty. . They have
given us a sufficiently numerous police force, if kept
uprto their duty ; and now thsy propose to repair tht
Cemetery and town o'clock."
The old gentleman aforesaid at once proceeded to
the Yarborongh Saloon and drank the health of the
town authorities. We hope his prognostications may
be realized to the full measure of his expectations.
They have authority let them exercise it iudicious-

I we must nut In a nlea fnr tha UnnA n;k uBr
who have been disposed to charge tht members of it
with gross incompetency. Tje corporation has, like
individuals, been oppressed for means, and this fact
pleads largely in extenuation of apparent legislative
delinquencies. Bat the people have In their com
plaints manifested readiness tc be taxed rather than
that law and order should be overthrown; the insti
tutions of the eity permitted to decay ; and person
and property have no security. Having the support
of the people, they may now venture to take hold, of
i i. e
ui reios oi government firmly and show thtmselvea
reformers of the fiwt type.
Goino to WoRK.Judge Keade, in his farewell
address to the State Convention, referring to the fu
ture of the African race, beautifully and with truth
affirmed that we would in time to come as In years
past, prove to be their best friends. We have entire
confidence that the action of the southern people
in the premises will clearly substantiate the predic
tion. In the direction of their education, especially
in the principles ol sound morality, we hear that
in at least one congregation of Raleigh there is a fix
ed determination among the white members to or
ganize a sabbath school for freed men and women,
as well as juvenile piccaninnies. A number of the
ladies connected with the denomination express en
tire concurrence and promise their cordial co-operation
in tne uudtriaklug wUcn tua worK. IS Degun.
This scheme will doubtless secure the approbation
of all christian minds, not only in our community
but throughout the State. The plan is an admirable
one and promises not only to promote the spiritual,
but temporal interests of the negro race. We must
give them a higher idea of moral obligation ; a more
perfect comprehension of social ethics ; aud by every
well considered stepadvance them In the estate of
manhood.
Great Sport .We see that Mr. O'Daniels has
engaged an opera troupe, which appears to-night at
Market Hall. The bill which is offered presents a
goodly number of attractive features and if concert
goers turn-out they will doubtless hear some good
music. No one can deny that Wilcox plays the vio
lin with rare power, while Dudley excels in all those
"light, fantastic toe" arts which appertain to fancy
dancing. The other members of the troupe are of
good repute and "burnt cork" will probably be in the
ascendant this evening.
Of one thing we feel confident: Mr. O'Daniel, the
manager, is competent to direct 3uch a company ac
ceptably to the musical public by preventing disap
pointments and interdicting those gross jests which,
while they have no merit as witticisms, offend good
taste and disgust refined sensibility. No such prac
tice, we are assured, will distinguish the series of
entertainments which are prospected this week, and
with this promise as the warrant for it, we commend
the Raleigh Minstrels to the patrons of song, the
dance, and imitations of plantation life in the sunny
South.
Ladies' Association. We have always contend
ed that the ladies were not only purer, but morb en
ergetic than men. This has been exemplified in a
thousand formB time and again. We have no idea
that our fair friends here intend that Richmond shall
excel them in brave and good dieds, and we call to
them in each religious denomination to form societies
to aid theological students and domestic missions.
In such an enterprise they might accomplish much
in behalf of religion and while thus practically illu
minating their own Christianity, send the word of life
to others. Organize and have your regular meeting!
from this time forward.

The Castleman Murder. Wa mentioned some
time since, immediately after the sad occurrence, the
murder of Rev. Mr. Castleman, an Episcopalian min
ister, at Summit Point, near Gaston. The whole af
fair wai then shrouded in mystery, but it now seems
that an intelligent theory has been promulgated with
respect to the dreadful transaction. About three
Veekssince, a portion of the cotton on a freight train
took fire, a note of which we made at the time, and
to save the remainder that part which .had ignited
was hurriedly cast overboard. There was no roof or
shelter near for storage, and the cotton was lft bv
the roadside in an exposed condition. The present
high price of the article excite the cupidity of an
individual In the neighborhood, and he was not slow
to avail himself of so favorable an opportunity to pil
fer the exposed cotton. Thesa thefts, which are said
to have been conducted chiefly at night, were brought
to the knowledge of the Rev. Mr. Castleman, who at
once proceeded to acquaint the owner of the cotton
with the facts. The suspected party, we learn from
the Petersburg Express has been heard to often vow
vengeance upon the informer, but Mr. Castleman,
who was as fearless as he was just and upright, paid
no attention to the matter.
On the night of the assassination, Mr. Castleman
went to the house of his friend and neighbor, Mr. W.
K. Broadnax, took tea, and sat until bedtime, engaged
in pleasant conversation. When he arose to depart,
the family importuned him to remain all night. He
declined, stating that his own family would certainly
expect him. He was then laughingly told that his
lite had been threatened. This he received with great
calmness, remarking, that as ha had never injured any
one, he presumod there were none who would injure
him.
In accordance with his determination, Mr. Castle
man left the house of his friend for home. That
home ha never reached alive, His famly anxiously
awaited his arrival through all the long night. He
never came. At early morn a messenger was dis
patched to the home of the friend, whither he had
declared his intention of going the evening previous.
On the route the mangled body of the worthy man
was found, perforated by a bullet, evidently fired in
close proximity, a3 the wadding was In the clothing.
No soener than the matter became known, the man
who stole the cotton and made the threats disap
peared. Electiok Tickets, in any quantity, from one to
fifty thousand, can be printed at this office on the
