Gatbering: from the Stale Papers.
Raleigh Neios-Observer : The authori
ties at Washington have established
the office of assistant district attorney
for the-eastem district of North ; : Caro
lina; arid nave appointed' thereto Willis
Bagley, Esq., of Jackson, Northampton
county. Mr. Bagley is a brother of
Major W. II. Bagley, of Raleigh, and is
a gentlenoaa ; of high, character, well
known for his courteous demeanor
and learning as a lawyer. ;The appoint
ment is an excellent one, and will give
great satisfaction to the bar of the east
ern district.
Col. A. M. Waddell and F. W. Kerch
nor, Esq., of Wilmington; are in Wash
ington, They appeared before the Sen
ate committee of commerce, of 'which
Gen. Ransom is chairman, last Tues
day, concerning a bill pending in the
Senate, and which. passed the House at
the last session; taking the Cape Eear
a free river and establishing a port of
entry at Fayetteville. The old Cape
Fear Navigation Company had the
right, in consideration or the expense
and trouble of-Keeping the river lear
of obstructions, to exact a toll of pass
ing boats.
Asheville Citizen ; Capt. Fry, who
has charge of the construction of the
bridge work on the W. N. C. Railroad,
has almost completed the bridge across
thc-Swannanoa two miles south of
Ashpvlllfl it. wfll hft finished this wpsk
and next week the worfc of laying the
track to Stmtrs bridge ;qn tfie l ranch
Broad,waI be: commenced, and only a
few days will be required to complete
it. Can the Asheville News see anv
reason why this work should be allow
ed to go on ?
While Buncombe county stands six
teenth in the State as to population,
she stands second as to her white popu
lation Wake being the only countv
with a larger white population and if
the latter has a portion of her territory
sliced off for the benefit of Durham, as
Beemslikely.it will leave Buncombe
first. And this is not "buncombe,":
either.
Raleigh News and Observer: The
North Carolina mill-stone comuany has
pot up a telephone wire from Cameron,
on trie Raleigh cc Augusta AnxLine
Railroad to their quarries at Parke-
wpod, in Moore county, a distance of
10 miles. This is the longest telephone
wire in the State.
On Wednesday last Trenton, in Jones
county, was visited with quite; a disas
trous nre; tour buildings, much mer
chaadise and a small amount of cotton
was destroyed. The fire, it is learned,
originated in the store occupied by Mr,
C- H. Foy.
The Asheville Citizen stales that the
condition of Mrs. Taylor, wife of the
Hpn. Robert Taylor, of Tennessee, is
miich improved this week. Mr. Taylor
has been with her for the past week.

Kashville is becoming interested ij!
the construction of a railroad direct
from that place to Knoxville. This
project, which has long been talked of
is rendered practicable, iieretotore'
such a connection would only have
been a local line between the two cities,
and, while it would have been mutual
ly advantageous to both it would not
have been a paying enterprise. But
newv Since the completion of the .West-
Kern. North Carolina road is a certainty
or, the near iuture, the building or a
road from Nashville to Knoxville,' and
thus giving the State capital a direct
connection with the southeastern sea
board would be of immense advantage
toi Nashville. Knoxville would of
