' The speech is published in full on! the out side of thb morning's Observer, as it appeared in the Congressional Record of Wednesday last It has befen await ed with interest and will bef read by nearly , every North Carolinian into whose hands it may fall. The effort was one in every way worthy the dis tinguished gentleman, who delivered it. The argument advanced is iirjanswera ble, the condensation of the Ki&publican proposition is singularly happy, and the occasional flashes of wit, ridicule, satire and eloquence which!" mark it, are the sauce which will giv men ap petite to digest the arguments We were sure that in his maiden ef fort Senator Vance had done himself no discredit, and'he text of tne speech fully justifies tins confidence No mat ter what the time,;thepiace or the occa sion, he. always fpeaks-,well..As a mat ter ofcourse the speech loses; by a read ingof it; to be fully appreciated Gov.

There will always be dis pute as to the authenticity of the Meck lenburg declaration in the'form 'thatfit has beeiv handed-down, but there is no doubt thajt a declaration of some sort was made there on the 20th of May, 1775, and ihat the first Convention of the people in this country to declare open resistance to British authority was held in the same historic town eleven days later. It is a good anniversary to cele brate, and the great crowd that gather ed at the county seat tf Mecklenburg on Tuesday indicates that the custom of observing the day is gaining strength among the North Carolinians Excur sion trains were run fromJall the coun try round ; there was a firemen's parade and a great display of military, the de claration was read and ex-Congressman Bobbins delivered an orHon and the festivities wound up with a grand ball in the evening." !

Atkins, of Tennessee, from the committee on appropriations, re ported back the Senate amendments to the legislative appropriation bill, and stated that he was instructed to move concurrence in all of them. It was hardly necessary, he said, to give a rea son for that instruction. There were some of the amendments in which the committee would not, under other cir cumstances, concur: for instance, the increase of salaries or. Senate omciais. from 20 to 100 per cent, more than the salaries of some of the corresponding i a i -r-r mi i T emuioves oi me xiouse. xnis increase amounted to oyer $45,000.

Man Shot in Attempting to Ited.e.s an Alleged W'ioug to a Kinswoman. Klnston cor., 21st, Goldsboro Messenger. The most melancholy incident that has agitated the people of Kinston in a number of years, occurred yesterday morning at about half-past eleven o'clock. Hugh Owens and S. Brock West became engaged in an angry dis pute about a certain note said to have been written by West. The note, it seeins, contained statements which re flected on the character of . a female re lation of Owens', and he told West that "the man who wrote that note was a d n liar." West told him that he should take back those words or he w'ould kiU him. Owens refused to do so. Wesk Avent immediately into his store, re turned with a large navy pistol, and again demanded Owens to retract. Ow ens refused to do so. West then raised his pistol to fire, when Owens started to run, West pursuing him, finng-foor shots, three of which struck Owens, -one entering the left side some inches under his arm, and coming out on hist right side, another striking a right Tib, glancing outward and lodging' in iris clothes ; the third ball entered his right shoulder. When the third shot struck him he threw back his hands and ex claimed: "My Gcd, he has mined me forever, but I'll never take it back; 111 be d d if I do." He staggered up the street about a hundred yards to the fcf lice of Dr. James P. Bryan, who gave him the proper attention. Yesterday evening it was not thought possible for him to live, but at this writing (7 o'clock a. m.,) he is doing well, and hopes are entertained of his recovery. West tied immediately after the affair and has not since been heard from. No warrant has been issued for his arrest Mr. West- has been for a number of years a leading . merchant of Kinston, and has quite a large family. "-.e . ; Owens has for some time been em ployed at the saw mill of Messrs. White & Parrott, and fortunately is an unmar ried man: The friends and relations of both parties have the sympathy of the community. . , FRATERNAL DEVOTION.
