SccrtrUry of Faculty. CO&CORD, NORTH cation in North Carolina. ere is no one question which above all others, possesfcg the im portance to the people of North Car oling than that of education, lor It ii education form the common mind Jut as the twig is bent the tree 's inclined,' lint it a lamentable fact, but nevertheless a true one, aa is shown by etatistk-H, that tlerj arc a larger number, ol adults in the State of North Carolina who cannot read and write than is the case with any oth cr State of the Union. . And this is not at all surprising, when we per ceive the almost stolid indifference manifested in the matter by the tnafiecs of the people throughout the State. Take, lor instance, the coun ty of Cabarrus as an illustration a county whose inhabitants very prob ably possess as much intelligence as can be found in any other section of the Slate, and observe how much ignorarco there is among them, and how few echoola are kept up through out the county, and many of those for oi.ly a fractional portion of the -ear. There are twelve townships in the coun 13, and there is not one of them in which there could not be one or more good eehools established, and kept running throughout the greater portion of the 3'car, if the people would but aronso themselves to the importance of the question. There has been, and. continues to be, too much indifference to t hie ques tion manifested 03' our. people. It ought not s: to be, and would not be, if our people would but unite and take the matter in hand in earnest. MunlciMl ludrblediifM. Kaleigb Observer. A car?fulry compiled article in the Galax3 lor September presents some startling tacts on the subject of mif- niciral indebtedness. The author solicited statistics from one hundred and filty of the principal cities, rep resetting tvcr3 State in the Union. Satisfactory leplies were received A-oni one hundred and thirty of tbcac, and on the iniormation thus obtained the following results are based. The municipal debts of 130 cities in 187C was $644,387,663. The as uessed value of property was $6,175, (JS2,15S. The annual taxation was m . SI 12.7 11,272. Tho population was 8,576,249. , These fignres show that the 130 cities referred to owed debts amount ng to over 10 per cent, of the as sessed value of their propert3. Tho average was over $74 per capita for ever3 man, woman and child of the population. The taxation amounted to 2 per cent, of tho assessed value ol" property an average for every cnoii in them of $13. Taking twelve of the largest cities vi i. iu:i. n the country' inew iorn, x uub Iclphia, Brooklyn, Chicago, Boston, Cincinnati, St. Louis, Baltimore, San Francisco, New Orleans, Louisville and Pittsburg the results are still mora fitartlinir. The population of ... - 0- 4 j these amounts to 5,043,618. , Tho as sessed value of prope rt3 is $4,60S.580, 081. The municipal indebtedness is $ 136,608, 119, and the annual inter est is $79,353,777. About 11 percent, ol the whole assessed value of prop- rt3' is owing, and the people are an nually tnxed 16 per capita. Based upon these figures the mu nicipal indebtedness of the entire country cannot be shoit of $1,000,- 000,000. . A largo portion of this amount is due abroad, and vast sums must annualby be sent to Europe to pa3 interest. When to this vast amount is added our county, State and national in debtedness, the burden resting upon tho American people is soen" to be truly appalling. But what shall we say when to all 'this is added the load of individual indebtedness? Mechanics Going to Europe New York, Aug. 28. This morning about twent3--five carpcnteis sailed on the Wisconsin. The- are under contract for three years each with building firms in Manchester, to re ceive wagei equivalent to $3.50 per day here, with eight hours work and half holiday on Saturdays.

SEPTEMBER 1, 18 The Eastern War. London, August 28. The Times' Bucharest correspondent telegraphs: "It is said that the bills" around Schipka are covered with Tarkisl ' bodies and that their loss alread has been as great as that of the .Rus sians at Plevna. The Russians still bold Schipka pass." Constantinople, August 28. A telegram from Adrianople announces that the Russians still hold Fort Nicholas in SchipkjPass. Tho Turks are attacking' the highest Russian position invthe, pass. A large number of Turkish wounded are arriving at Adrianople. A dispatch from Shumla announc es that the Russians occupy Papoki. London, August 2?. It "is note worthy that no bulletin of Monday's dato has 3et been received from Russian headquarters concerning the. fighting at Schipka pass, al though they previously reports dai ly, anJ sometimes twice a day. The Daily Newshas the following special from Shumla, Tuesdaj, 28th: "Yesterday, Sulieman, Pasha made an assault on the Russiar position in Schipka pass at 9 o'clock in the morning. The batlltL which was sangu'naiy, lasted until b in the m. "18 evening, l he enemywno were as saulted on both flank were unable to resist the attack, ad the Turks gained possession of all .the earth works at the opening of the defile.' A telegram to thej Times from Shutylg also says: "Sulieman Pasha has captured nearly all the Russian positions, lhe Kussians lost 3000 killed and wounded. Tho Daily News corresponden with the Russian headquarters be fore Plevna, says : "The Turks have been receiving reinforcements more rapidby and in greater numbess than the Russians, and are begining to take the offensive along the line Thc3 are also keeping the Russians on the Plevna front OMi a continual que vite by concentrating as f abont to attack." V The Daity News Vienna dispatch fa3s: "In several churches of Hun gar3, a Te deiun has been celebrated, and prayers offered for further Turk ish victories. The Vatican has in- stiucted the Bishops to prevent this in the future." Advices from Russian headquar ters at Gorny Studin, dated August 28th, say : '."All is quiet this morn ing. Our troops maintain their po sitions. lhe lurks remain under cover behind the neighboring heights out of the tange of our batteries. The total number of wounded from August 21st to the 27thr is 2,480, in cluding ninety-five officers. The number killed is unknown. HJvery- thinir is quiet in the direction of Plevna and Lottscha." Bloody Affray. We understand that a bloodj affray occurred in the "dark corner," a section of country partly in North and partly in South- Carolina, which has been notorious as tho theatre of lawlessness and vio lence man3' years, on Sunday last. Two men named respectively Har rison and Durham, having quarreled on Saturday, moi, oy arrangement, on Sunda3, accompanied b3 seconds and friends to fight it'out. Harrison shot Durham in the .cheek tbe ball passing out ot the back of his head. As soon as he fell his brother rushed up and shot Harrison, ;killing;him instantly. ! It is reported by some that one of Harrison's friends thereupon shot and killed "Doc." Durham, but this is " contradicted by others. "Bill" Durham, the man first shot was liv ing at last reports, but was sinking rapidly and was not expected to re cover. Ilendersonville Xew. Era. Strange; Stories A b.oct Turkish Pashas. New York", August 24. The Army and Navy Journal 6a3's that the victor of Plevna, Osman Pa sha, it is' confidently asserted in England from pnvate sources, is none other than that celebrated fu gitive from French prisons, Mar shal Francois Achillo Bazaine. The Journal also states that Mehemet Ali is of French descent, was bom at Madgeburg, and original named Julius Detroil ; that Blum Pasha was a Prussian lieutenant of engineers thirty yeara ago; that Reschid Pa sha was a Lieutenant Streckey, of the Russian artillerj; and tbatFaire Pasha, who beat the Russians in Ar menia, is a Swiss.' -Register Remarkable Saicides. Perhaps the most remarkable sui cideon record has been committed in -Sweden. A Government official in he district of Ripsa, wearied by pe- .uniary difficulties, took a row with! ms who anu two cnudren upon i . t.i. neighboring lake, ostensibly to'pass a few hours in fishing, but after get ting to a distance at which he could do no harm to others, he applied a match to a quantit3 of explosive ma terial, supposed to be some form o d3'namite, that he had, unobserved taken with him, and blew the boat and its occupants literally irito frrfg tnents. A dreadful occurrence is reported from Belhmbi, New 'South Wales On the 26th of May the house of a man named Peter Brawen was burned down during the night, and in the morning it was found that the man and two of his children, aged 11 and 13 years, had perished in the flames. Within a few yards of the smouldering ruins there was also a I dog with bis head nearly chopped off, evidently'by an axe tying beside-him besmeared with blood. A slate was found near the burned house, with the following written thereon, in the hand-writing of Brawen : '25th Ma. I cannot live any longer. During the last ten years I ha,ve wished a thousands times I had never been born. I love my little children too well to leave them to be tortured by their brutal mother that dirty, drunken, selfish, and unfeeling sav age. I bequeath her to Satan, and curse her with my last breath, and rejoice at the near approach of my end. Telephony. Thomas A, Edison, a New York electrician, has perfected and recent ly brought out an instrument which carries a long step forward the new science of telephony. It is based on entirely novel principles, and differs in toto'from the telephones oTProv lessors dray ana . Hull. a. w pro posed to try 1 1 between Now York and Saratoga, about two hundred miles, a distance which even the simply instrumental telephones have never successfully traversed. To test the practicability of such a feat the experiment was tried yesterday of sending music over a loop of wire to Hartford and back, or 240 miles. This was done at noon yesterday in the Wc-stern Union building, Broad way and Dey street, under the super vision of Mr. E. H. Johnson, an able electrician, and Mr. Downer, man ager of the central office. Several amateursingers, who had volunteer ed for the occasion, sang in the end of the tube resembling somewhat the open end of a clarionet, and the music having traversed the 240 miles of wire was reprodused at its termi nation by a complex and ingenious a contrivance in a tone which was audible anywhere within a large room in another part of the building. This result was so entirely saisfac- tory that it has been determined to ive a concert in Saratogaand Sig- nor Tagliapetro, among other vocal ists, has been engaged to sing in' this citr on that occasion.
