may turn out to be the wisest course
after all, pai speech of . Mr. Waddell
in the House on last Tuesday, was a
splendid effott, and it makes North
Carolina feel proud that she has such
, brave and manly Representative. It
W8 conciliatory in .tone, y e free from
cringing or apology. It was, dignified
and generous throughout, and in strike
ing contrast with the mean and pusi-
hanIMouTenorts of Blaine and Gar
field who attempted to fire the North
ern heart with anger and hatred
towards the long oppressed and down
trodden South a i5ction of their
common country. His speech exhibi
ted a nobility of soul that Radical
"hyenas" cannot understand, but it
will assuredly primsou with shame the
cheek, of the the ' better and' more
liberal portion of the Northern people
There were times when he arose to
the loftiest heights of eloquence apd
his remarks especially upon the bloody
Bpeech of.iHaine were cruel and un
Mercifully sarcastic. In speaking of
the unfortunate discussion of amnesty
and th revengelul policy pursued by
lbe.J administration '; he , drew a well-
timed and striking simile. He said
J"They would treat that lamentable
chapter in American history as Noah e
sons had done in the . hour of their
father's humility: they would avert
their looks, and with backward steps,
cast the mantle of oblivion over it.
They wished the disturbers of the pub
lic peace to understand that notwith
standing the spirit exhibited, they
were too patriotic and too sincere men
to allow that spirit to control them or
to serve as an example for them. They
wished to maintain the honor and
character of the American Union, and
they would do it if they were allowed."
The element of Southern soldiers
during the late war, of whom he was
one, had not been heard upon the
Amnesty question. "It had met a
storm of hate and persecution as the
swan meets the billows with a breast
of down." He closed with an earnest
appeal in behalf of that Exposition in
which he said the whole American
Nation was interested and the Nation
al honor at stake.
A CORRECT VIEW OP THE SITTJ-
- ATION.
i i
We regret exceedingly that the
Democrats allowed themselves to be
drawn away from the real issues, by
the ranting and trickery of Radical
demagogues. They had the Republi
can nose upon the grind3tone and it
was hurting too, and just as they were
about to despair of any release, Blaine
yelled out fire, and murder at the top
of his voice and some of the impulsive
Democrats let loose the handle and
run to see where. Let the Democrats
now take lesson and refuse to be
diverted by their sinister motives and
shrewd cunning, , but let them ferret
out the crimes and thousand instances
of swindling and' bad faith of the ad
ministration party and lay without
mercy the lash of justice upon the
theivins:' officials who have well near
bankrupted this country and impover
ished their constituents. The Nash
ville American gives a correct view
of this piece of jugglery upon
the part of Blaine and his party,
and truthfully remarks that: "It
is not the . Duke of Alva, nor the
Spanish Inquisition, nor theNoachian
deluge, nor the Silurian Epoch, nor
the nebular hypothesis,' that disturbs
the people of- this5 age and country.
but the money that has been squan
dered in the bond job, th credit mo

The Wit
and Wisdom
Prentice.
of Geo. D.
With regard to Mr. Prentice's happy
thoughts, his biographer says :
Enough of them have kept well,
however, to justify the reputation for
abundant wit and humor which Mr.
Prentice so long enjoyed enough of
them worthy to rank with the best
good sayings which are quoted from
Hook, ana Lamb, and Sidney Smith,
and Douglass Jerrold, or others of the
famous wits of England. Let me
venture to repeat a few, (but it is so
easy to miss the best in such a collec
tion, even when one thinks he finds
them,) as I happen to turn to them in
the volume :
"The editor of the Statesman
says more villiany is on foot. We
suppose the editor has lost his horse."
"James Ray and George Parr have
started a locofoco paper in Maine,
called the Democrat Parr, in all that
pertains to decency, is below zero ; and
Ray is below Parr."
"Have I changed?" exclaimed Gov
ernor P . We don't know. That
depends on whether you were ever an
honest man.
"The Washington Globe says tnat
such patriotism as Mr. Clay's will not
answer. True enough, for it can't be
questioned."
"The editor of the speaks of
his lying curled up in bed these cold
mornings. This verifies what we said
of him some time ago 'he lies like :t
dog.' "
"The Philedelphia Ledger says that
Clay, Calhoun and Webster are behind
the ace. Then the acre must be tail
foremost."
A young widow has established a
pistol gallery in New Orleans. Her
qualifications as a teacher of the art of
dueling are or course undoubted ; she
has killed her man."
"Mr. Wm. Mood was robbed near
Corinth, Ala., on the 13th inst. The
Corinth paper says the name of the
highwayman is unknown, but there is
no doubt that he was Kobbm ilood.'
"A new Democratic paper in North
Carolina is called the Rising Day. It
ought to be called the Night, for it is
the shadow of the Globe."
"Mr. John Love was recently lost
during a passage frord Texas to Mexi
co. We had supposed that no love
would ever be lost between those
countries."
lhe Lrlobe says that Mr. uiay is a
politician. No doubt about it, but
the editor of the Olobe is a sharper."
'Messrs. Bell & Popp, ef the North
Carolina Gazette, says that 'Prentices
are made to serve masters.' Well,
Bells were made to be Lung, and
Topps to be whipped.
Of a more general character, a few
witicisms and epigrams may be given :
"Wild rye and wild wheat grow in
some regions spontaneously. We be
lieve that wild oats are bowu."
"Men are deserters in adversity ;
when the sun sets, and all is dark, our
very shadows refuse to follow us."
"A well known writer says that a
fine coat covers a multitude of sins.
It is etill truer that such coats cover a
multitude of sinners.
"When a man's heart ossifies, or
turns to bone, he dies at once; but if
it petrifies or turns to Btone, he inva
riably lives, too long for any useful
purpose."
"What would you do, madam, ii
you were a gentleman foir, wuat
would you do if you were one i
"Whatever Mida touched was turned
into gold; in these days, touch a man
with gold and he'll turn into any
thing."
Possibly the following extract from
a letter in answer to a challenge is tfte
most valuable legacy Mr. Prentice left
to posterity, and it will be well for
young and old idiots with dueling
proclivities to read it attentively.
' 1 am no believer in the duelling
code. I would not call a man to the
field unless he had done me such a
deadly wrong that I desired to kill
him, and I would not Obey his call to
the field unless I had done him so
mortal an injury as to entitle him, in
my opinion, to demand an opportuni
ty of jaking my like. I have not the
least desire to Kill you, or to harm a
hair of your head, and I am not con
scious of having done anything to en
title you to kill me. I do not want
your blood on my hands, and I do
not want my own upon anybody's. I
might yield much to the demands of
a strong public sentiment, but there
is no puonc sentiment, nor even any
disinterested individual sentiment,
that requires me to meet you, or
would justify me in so doing.
"l took upon the miserable code.
that is said to require two men to go
out and shoot at each other for what

of etiquette or punctilio .in the use of

exhilarating voices of both crews shall
mingle in accents of gladness uncontrollable-
It is not so. Not as broth
ers, not as friends, not as wayfarers of
the common ocean, do they come to
gether, but as enemies. The gentle
vessels now bristle fiercely with death
dealing instruments. On their spa
cious decks, aloft on all their masts,
flashes the deadly musketry. Prom
their sides spoilt cataracts of flame,
amidst the pealing thnnder of a fatal
artillery. They who had escaped "the
dreadful touch of merchant-marring
rocks," who had sped on their long
and solitary way unharmed by wind
or wave, whom the huricanehad spar
ed, in whose favor storms and seas
had intermitted their immitigable war
now at last fall by the hand of each
other.
The same spectacle of horror greets
us from both ships. On their decks,
reddened with blood, the murderers
of St. Bartholomew and of the Sicilian
Vespers, with the fires of Smithfield,
seem to break forth anew, and to con
centrate their rage. Each has now
become a swimming " Golgotha. At
length these vessels, such pageants of
the sea, once eo stately, so' proudly
built, but now rudely shattered by can
non balls, with shivered masts and rag
ged sails, exist only as unmanageable
wrecks, weltering on the uncertain
waves whose temporary lull of peace
is now their only safety. In amaze
ment at this strange, unnatural con
test, away from country and home,
where there is no country or home to
defend, we ask again, wherefore this
dismal duel? Again the melancholy
but truthful answer promptly comes,
that this is the established method
of determining justice between
tioDS.
na-
Plain Talk from Governor Chamber
lain. In a recently published letter Gov
ernor Chamberlain, of South Carolina,
speaks thus of the opposition to Mo
ses and Whipper, the recently elected
judges whose commissions he has re
fused to fcign:
"Personally I claim no merit for my
recent action. I did no more than any
right thinking man in my place must
have done. But lam deeply grateful
for the proofs which every day reach
me of the approval of my fellow citi
zens. The recent judicial elections in
the first, second and third circuits can
not be tolerated. They warn us that
the hard-earned triumphs of long cen
turies are again in danger; that we
must combine again to turn back the
incoming tide of corruption and in
competency, which will, unchecked
rise over our whole State."
Tennessee is now hanging her high
toned citizens. A late paper says of
Milton McMean, who was hanged at
Jackson :
Calmly, sileutly and sternly he met
his awful fate, without a bosom friend
near him, almost scoffing at human
sympathy, and defying human pity.
With a Roman sternness he seemed to
conquer death. In a feion's cell the
murderer lav, from the springing of
the violets in 74 until the wild winds
of winter sang their rude lullaby by
the cradle ot the infant '70; and du
ring all this long and dreary period,
shut out from the sweet "wandering
airs" of heaven, the golden smile of
morning, and gorgeous kaleidoscope
of the setting sun, he maintained a
stoical exterior an appearance of that
indifference to the Bnockofthe bolts
of fate which found its most emphatic
type in the red warriors of our
primeval wilderness.
The salary ot that reporter should be
raised to three dollars a week.
Don't be discouraged if your chil
dren don't prove to be young miracles ;

American ' Cyclopaediar
NEW REVISE DITD ITI Q X .
Entirely rewritten by the ablest writers on
every subjectr
Printed from new typej and illustrated with
seveial thousand Engravings and Maps.
?- The work originally published under the
tllieoi ItlJfi JNlfiW AM1CK1UAJN CYCLO
PEDIA was completed in 1863, since which
time, the wide circulation which it has at
tained in all parts of the United States, and
tne signal developments which have taken
place in every branch of science, literature,
and art, have induced the editors and pub
lishers to submit it to an exact and thorough
revision, and to issue-a new edition entitled
THE AMERICAN CYCLOPEDIA.
"Within the last ten years the progress of
discovery in every department of knowledge
has made a new work of reference an imper
ative want.
The movement of political affairs has kept
pace with the discoveries of science, and
their fruitful application to the industrial
and useful arts and convenience and refine
ment of social life. Great wars and conse
quent revolutions have occurred, involving
national changes of peculiar moment. The
civil war of our own country, which was at
its height when the last volume of the old
work appeared, has happily been ended,
and a new course of commercial and indus
trial activity has been commenced. Large
accessions to our
GEOGRAPHICAL KNOWLEDGE
haye been made by the indefatigable ex
ploreres of Africa.
The great polical revolutions of the last
decade, with the natural result of the lapse
of time, have brought into public view a
multitude of new men, whose names are in
every one's mouth, and of whose lives every
one is curious to know the particulars.
Great battles have been fought and Impor
tant seiges maintained, of which the details
are as yet preserved only in the newspapers
or in tbe transient publications of the day,
but which ought now to take their place in
PERMANENT AND AUTHENTIC
HISTORY. 4
In preparing the present edition for the
press, it has,accordingy been the aim of the
editors to bring down the information to the
latest possible dates, and to furnish an ac
curate accoun t of the most recent discover
ies in science, of every fresh production in
literature, and of the newest inventions in
tbe practical arts, as well as to give a suc
cinct and original record of the progress of
POLITICAL AND HISTORICAL
EVENTS.
The work has been begun after a long and
careful preliminary labor, and witn the
most am pie resources for carrying it on to a
successful termination.
None of the original stereotype plates have
been used, but every page has been
PRINTED ON NEW TYPE.
Forming in fact a new Oyclopiedia, with the
same plan and compass as its predecessor,
but with a far greater pecuniary expenditure
and with such improvements in its composi
tion as have been suggested by longer expe
rience and enlarged knowledge.
THE ILLUSTRATIONS
"Which are introduced for the first time in
the present edition have been added not for
the sake of pictorial effect, but to give great
er lucidity and force to the explanations in
the text. They embrace all branches of
science and of natural history, and depict
the most famous and remarable features of
scenery, architecture, and art, as well as the
various process of mechanics and manufac
tures. Although intended for instruction
rather than embellishment, iiO pains have
been spared to insure their
ARTISTIC EXCELLENCE.
lhe cost of their execution is enormous
and it is believed they will find a welcome
reception as an admirable feature of the
CyclopEedia, and worthy of its high charac
ter.
This work is sold to subscribers only, pay
able on delivery of each volume. It will be
complete in SIXTEEN LARGE OCTAVO
VOLUMES, each containing about 800 oases
fntly illustrated with several thousand Wood
Eugiavings, and with numerous colored
Lithographic Maps.

G S H APPLEGET, wishes to inform
the public at large, that he is prepared to
furnish Plans of all kinds of buildings,

be found much plainer than those of any
other man in the State, he being a practical
builder, having an experience of 15 years in
three of the largest cities of the United
States' He can answer any question or give
any information in regard to the construc
tion of any part of the building, as he is
fully qualified to go and do the work him
self. With 15 years as a builder and 14 ss
an Architect, he knows just what is neces
sary lor a mechanic to get along with, and
with this experience you will at once see
that he has a pretty good knowledge of the
business. You can judge for yourself as to
whether a mart is an Architect without be
ing a practical builder. Some in this State
claim to be Architects when thev have no
knowledge of the business and can onlv be
called drattsmen, and need some one to in
struct them at all times should they under
take a job. For the last six years be has
been employed in this State, and has dan a
all the best buildings, with only a few ex
ceptions in Raleigh, Goldsboro and Greens
boro, ana almost all over the State, where
persons can see his work.
in Charlotte he would call attention tn h
P Smith's Iron Front Building, and Sims &
Dowd's Store, and a number of th nriv
residences here.
He refers to all who have emnloved him
as Architect and Superintendent, as to his
ability, He can furnish, if any desire them ,
the name of parties and buildings, but can
not do so here for the want of room.
He can snow as manv fine bnildines as
any other man of his age, and will take
pleasure in doing so, Any person visiting
Charlotte is invited to call and examine his
drawings, which he has at least 500. He
guarantees to have 60 to 1 of anv other per
son in the State. All are invited to exam
ine them whether they are going to build or
not. The ladies are specially invited.
