It is a matter of small importance to me who takes the place of Mr Gibbes, but as 1 in formed htm, in pacing through Columbia, of the promise you bad made, y?u may, perhaps, understand how your ac tion has placed nie in a false posi tion. But it is fortunate for me that Mr. Gibbes will know that I, at least, teld him the truth, though 1 was grievously deceived in believing what was said to me. I shall know better in future what reliance to place on statements emanating from ths tame source. 'J he newspapers state that besides managing the great department over which you preside, rou are running a Sunday School in Philadelphia, and it occurs to me you might with profit to yourself select as the most appropriate subject of a lecture to your pupils the instructive story of Anaaias andSapphira.

What Our Exchanges Say. Henderson Gold Leaf: It is queer that some men will tramp through the woods all day, kill nothing and call it sport. And if they have to walk twe squares to get paregoric for a colicy baby, they want to know why a gallon or two of the stuff is not kept always ia the house. Jonesboro Leader: The eighty eighth birthdar ef David Oliver was celebrated at the residence of J. It. A. Brown, in Harnett county, last Saturday, November 10th. Mr. Oliver is the only sorviving one of five brothers and sisters, the other four of whom lived to ages respec tively, 00, 89, 84 and 80. There were ninety-two people present on this occasion, five of whom were Mr. Oliver's children, twenty-four erand children, and seventeen were great- grand children. I he dinner table, which was forty-nine feet long, was ladeu with an abundance of good things, and all those present had enough and fo spare. The old man wast cheered and made nappy by having his relatives gather around him, and the occasion will long be remembered as a "green spot ia the memory" of all the participants. Wilson - Mirror.' The Rocky Mount Fair has scored another brilliant success. We attended it on Thursday and had a glorious time in looking upon beautiful wo men, fine horses, and other attrac tions. Got. Fowle made a ringing speech which was well received and loudly applauded. A large crowd was in attendance, and all had a gjod time generally. On Satur day night when the Fayetteville freight train reached ilson a box car, loaded with cotton, was discov ered to be on fire The alarm was given, and our noble firemen with their splendid fire engine was soon on the spot, and did effective work. All the top part of the car was de stroyed and the cotton very seriously damaged. 1 The Salisbury Herald says: Messrs. McCandless, Arendell aal others went into Montgomery coun ty to ascertain the facts about the late discoveries of gold. They came back yesterday morning and con firmed air reports we have from tncM. They calculate that at least 1 50,1)00 worth of gold nuggets have been taken from Mr. Saunders pro pect The gold bearing gravel has been enplored to a depth of 23 feet and the amount of gold ia the de posits is undiminished. They re port that the whole neighborhood is excited and has given up all their different occupations to stay around the gold deposits. One man has seven another eight and still others different amounts of gold in their Possession out are airaia w say any thing about it One man went down the hole and in twenty min utes brought out f 2,000 worth of the virgin gold. If the richness vf these deposits should continue the richest mines of the world would be discounted to a wonderful degree. W hat the future may bring is hard to tell.

' Againit slander there it no de fense. It starts with a word, with a cod, with a shrug, with a smile. It is pestilence walking in darkness, spreading contagion far and wide, which the most weary traveler can oot avoid; it U the heart searching dagger of the da-k assassin; it is the poisoned arrow whose wounds are in curable; it is the mortal sting of the deadly alder, murder its employ meat, innocence its prey and ruin its sport The man who breaks into my dwelling or meets me in the public road and robs me of my property does me injur. He stops me on the way to wealth, strips me of my hard -earned savings, involves me into difficulty, and brings my family to penury and want But he does me an injury that can be repaired. Industry and eoooomy may again bring n into circumstances of ease and affluence. The man who, coming at the mid night hour, fires my dwelling, does vo an injury In burns my roof, my pillow, my raioment my very shelter from the storm and tempests ; bnt he does me an injury that can be re paired. The storm may indeed beat upon me, and- chilling blasts assail me; but Charity will receive me Into her dwelling, will give me food t eat and raiment to put on, will timely assist me, raising a new reof orer the ashes of the old, and I shall again sit br my own fireside and taste the sweets wt friendship and of home. But tbe man who circulates false re ports concerning my chwactsr, who exposes erery act of my life which may be represented to my disadra tage, who goes first to this, then to that individual, tells them he is very tender o! my reputation, enjoins np on them tbe strictest secrecy and then fills their ears with hearsays and rumers, and, what is worse, leaves them to dwell npon the hints and suggestions of his own busy imagina tionthe man who thus "filches from me my good name, dou me an in jury which neither industry, nor charity, nor time itself can repair. ANEGKO WHIPPED. Dy Ills Own Race Fur Instating A White Lady. AUtate OoMHtntioa At Newman, Ga., one day last week one ef the best and most salu tary measures adapted for the sup pression of assaults, or attempted as saults made npon white women by the negro race, occurred in the north ern portion of that county. A negro man, married, and about twenty-eight years of age, met a lady upon the highway driving in a beggy, and proposed to ride with her. She became frightened and drove rapidly home and reported the matter to her husband, who, with his shotgun, went in pursuit of the would-be assaulting party, aid fired two shots at him without effect The older colored people in that sec tion took the matter in hand and captured the darkey. They sent to the woods and cut several hickory limbs, and, after confessing his in sult to the lady, informed him that they proposed to whip him until the lady was satisfied, and until they thought him sufficiently punished. One of the strongest negroes ia the crowd, after they had made him take oft his coat and vest whipped him nntil the white man pleads for them to stop. Ths negroes say that his offense deserved punishment in an effective way, and that his con duct if it went unpunished, would set a bad example to their boys, whom they were trying to raise to be decent and respectable, citizens. Both white and colored people think they did light If the colored peo ple will do more of this kind of work, and uphold society instead of screening violators of law and order they will elevate themselves in the estimation of all good citizens. . A Pawnbroker's Old Possessions. Passing alone Third avenue yester day I saw a well known pawn broker, whom we eall Mr. X smiling as if something very droll or pleasant hod happened. "Wha are you smiling about Mr. X?" I asked "Is business brisk?" Oh, business is about as usual, but do you tee that fashionably di eased young man Just turning the corner? Well he had just left with me a half dozen quart bottles of champagne, on which I lent him $10. It is as good almost as money. Why did he pawn il? I gave it up. Perhaps his father has lots uf wine in his cellar, but will not gire him pocket money. Oh, I take in curious things. An acstres left me her child one time, and I gave her $25 on it. She redeemed the lit tle one an hour later. On another occasion I got in a thirty two pound salmon, aliraf What do yon think of that? and at another time a lively Newfoundland pup, which I hare now, grown up to a dog, which I would not tart with for $100." Seta York Star. Oxlord Ledger: On Thursdar last a neatly dressed young lady and gen tleman arrived on the .northern train aid stopped at the Exchange House. A f e w miautea aitar arrifl Mr. Orerby found out that something was up as the parties were nervous and rather excited. The young man immediately inquired where he could una me register or. feeds. lie was placed on the track of Jeff Daniel who was soen overhauled and as Veil if he would accommodate him at once with a marriage licence.

In this we are sure the editor does his patrons wrong. No class of readers is flattered by a. concession to their assured deficiencies, none of them complimented by the effort to reduce a paper u the level or their supposed tastes or comprehensions.'
