We did this, not be cause the complaints were our own ; but because they were the complaints of tho:e whom we defend, and those whose .interests we will protect. An article in tjny Durham Tobacco 'Plant, intimates that ve did the Post Master at that jjace great injustice by not saying that he was not to blame. We did not know' that he was not to blame; we did not know that he was to Id 1 inc. therefor we (said nothing about him. We wel kiujw that the fault did not exist in our post master or mail contractor, and be yond that, we knew nothing;. There are several things that might 'prevent the arrival of the Raleigh mail to this place in due time, except the negligence of the post master at Durham; therefore it would be foolish in us . to bring the charges against him, especially since we know 1 01 lung about the matter outside of our oien mail 'authorities.. However, We knew there was something wrong somewhere. If the Plant is correct in its 'statement, then we take pleasure in seating that t.o blame should be charged ton lie post master at Durham. J. W.

The Executive Committee have ap poihted -Saturday, December 7th, as the time for next meeting of said Conven tion; It js . earnestly desired, on the part of the committee, that every school in the county be represented, end the names of delegates to.

At the. iast mectiniri of the ommissioners it was enacted, that it 1 -. be a part of the duty, of the Town Con stable to keep; the bridges in jtown in eood condition. This leing so. there will be no more holes left open in the bridges' by which men run aj risk of being seriously injured. Heretofore, under the town laws, no such jobs were allowed. ,t c repaired except, when ordered by the Commissioners which body, convenes only once ajmonth. This old law was the cause of the de lay1 in repairing the bridges "which" have been so recently repaired. ! f Pay tiii: Pkintkii.

Even at the present writing the smoke and excitement of Tuesday's battle have scarcely sufficiently cleared away to enable us to take a cnltn and accurate survey of the field. Such information as has been within our reach, we have faithfully laid be fore bur readers, who are doubtless quite as capable of drawing correct, conclusions ns we are. v In , our own, State the campaign hlfckben, in certain Districts al least, quit!, a bitter one, and necessarily so. Had ' the .whole State been raked oyer, it would have been impossible to find 'more objectionable men than tlie RaViieal candidates in the Cape Fear, Raleigh and Greensboro Dis tricts Russell, Turner and Tourgee constitute a trio that, we are happy 10 believe is without an equal in the State. The Observer felt, it to be its duty to speak plainly about each of these individuals duriugthe canvass, and, it lias now; not a word to retract of. the .many' it said then, for the simple reason that we said nothing then that we do not - believe now. With us, success would no more improve the; flavor of the blustering Russell than defeat does that of Tourgee and Turner; The splendid victory in the Ral eigh District, is, of course, specially gratifying to us, for the reason that it was here that bur' best efforts were expended ? I r, i In. the third District we are still in fear of the defeat of one of the most useful members that ever graced the halls of the Federal Con gress as a representative from North Uavohna. Colonel W ad d el fs defeat would be felt not merely as a loss to his District and his State, but to the whole South, aud to the Democratic party in the entire country as well. In the Second District we are happy to chronicle, a result that was not fore shadowed in our brief com ment on vesterdav mornings For the first time since its organization, Second District will be represented 111. Congress by a straight out JJem ocrat. . In the First District our returns are still meacrre, but sufficient we think to indicate the election ol 3Iajor Yeates, though by a much re duced majority. j In the Fifth Pistrict fuller returns make no material variation in the estimate- of the ''majority r report eijl f'oj' ticn.

Howard, manager of the Louisiana Lottery, has just arrived in this city from Ney Orleans, 1 aving travelled through the fever districts of, the South. y To a World reporter, who visited, him at .the Gibsey House yesterday he said : "I went down there about fdur weeks ago. T travelled along the Jackson road and got into the fever district at Myland" Teuih, and trav elled for miles right through the fever belt, going thi'ough J3611y Spns7Grhada7Yaie"r Valley aB'd all - the other places infected with the fever.- The sleeper was behind a lieight train, 'j You had to take provisions with you. All the hotels and restaurants were closed j many of the villages were completely de serted. On some trains you were locked up in the cars and they wouldn't let you out. Many of the towns were quarantined against yop At others pickets werfe stationed to see that you didn't leave the train. The road for some two hundred miles was ditched on each side and strewn with lime, and every ten miles or so squadrons of barrels full of 'lime were placed at the stations where any one could take what he needed. This lime had been sent down as a gift from Chicago! Many of the towns had fires1 of turpentine and tar blazing around to purify the air. Crops of cotton and corn stood ungathered ia, the fields for miles and miles in every section. ! - '.- I I ' In many placfes the inhabitants had taken Ayjfhhem all their live stock. J Cow?, horses, everything had gone. , rThenr every -few miles yon would meet the relief trains with rations,1 nurses rand supplies. There must have :been, I Buppose, some 2,000 persons acting as nurses and committees along the line of the road, all wearing bridges of yello w muslin in their button-holes. In some places where 'the inhabitants had died they had only negroes to bury them. - The railroads : had lost a greatjmany. employee and the lo comotives were draped n mourn ing. At Bolivar we passed a tent where they had laid out two of the men -a brakeman and anrengineer-- Who ad died the night before.. At Paris the hotel was closed and both tle proprietor and his .wrfie had died. Everywhere the r a was gloom . The prospect for the future in these dis tricts is very cheerless, r uBut at New Orleans things did notjook quite po bad owing to the number of people who had become acclimatized and were not liable to the fever. : Bui a,;great deal of des titution prevailed, The' laboring classes. were unable to get ' work. The city being quarantined by every other place around. the merchants were unable to ship their goods; and therefore there was an utter stagna tion of business. People, however, Were hopeful, as the; sugar crop was very large- and rolling had already begun on many ' plantations. The cotton crop was also very fair, and New Orleans looks forward to ia prosperous winter cotton mauket: ' i ' ' - Reported officially for the Board of '"Vr '-'"''".. Trade . .Raleigh, N.
