Having accumulat ed a small amount he went in business for himself, and was successful fur a while but after ward failed. In 1829 ho edited "The Herald of Freedom," and was finally jailed fur libel be cause he was too bold in his de nunciations of bad men.

' Otarlotta Cluroirl, Before the sod had settled on the grave of the able Secretary baundors, Governor Fowle was ttrkken uown wilh beart fail. ure, and has gone. The state is doubly bereaved, by the loss of these two fali'iful officers i exccuva .rtmont. The Governor hau iiyeo to ap point Col. baunaers successor, ana 10110 weu Gov. Fowle is the third Gov ernor to die in oCice. ' The war Governor Ellis died in oflice in 1801, aud Todd li. Cal l well pass ed away in 1874, while he was the Governor of ths state. The most useful and most brilliant period of his career was not while he was the Governor of North Carolina, but it was at the time the state was in the throes of reconstruction and when the Democratic, party was tryiug to rescue it from the mis rule and degradation or the worst element in life. Some of his efforts on the huttings, at' that time wore even brilliant. In the campaigns trorn 1870 to 1876, he did as much as any other man to re-ebtablish law and order and destrov the hydra headed monster that had been created by war and that was snapping the very life of the state, faniel G. iWle earned the gratitude of all "North Caro linians and he received his jast deserts, when he was mad.j iLe Governor ot the state. Truly that position is a common place one, but it is regarded well. . ' He had many of the physical qualities of the orator, silver voice, handsome proportions arid personal magnetism. His mind was emotional, fanciful, not profound, not original, but like the minds of ail orators, general in its resources. Gov towiewas lrequently chargei with an offensive - display of personal vanity, but he was very broad and kiu Jly in his nature, lie evidenced passion ate patriotism and was one of the state's most valued sons. SKETCH OF HIS CAKE Ell. ; j Hon. Daniel G. Fowle was born in the town of Washing ton, in Beaufort a.ty,- North Carolina, on the 3rd of March, 1831. At the age of fourteen he was entered at the school of North Carolina's most celebrat ed teacher, William Bingham, where he remained until he ma triculated at Princeton, New Jersey, at the age of; sixteen. w hue at f nnceton ho was ap pointed by the literary society uf which ho was a member. junior orator, and acquitted him self 60 well as to call forth a complimentary and particular muution by one of the leading New York dailies. The lion. Barnes Couipton, now a mem ber of congress from Mary laud, was at the same time a junior orator appointed by another of the literary societies. In 1801 he graduated at Prin ceton, and having studied law under Judga Pearson for two years and is as admitted to the bar in lfv:i, and in 1834 Settled in Haleigh. In 185G he marriei Klen Brent, diughter of Hon. H. M. lVaroii, who died in '02, leaving two children, Margaret, now wife of 1. U. Andrews, aud Martha, wife of David B.

At Dallas, Texas, last week, the grand jury returned two indictments for criminal libel against Rev. Robert T. Uanks, the noted Baptist divine and editor of a Western paper, the Baptist. He is charged with libelling Rev. E. B. Hardy, L. R. Scrugg, S. R. Grant and A. M.. Johnson, all prominent preachers, of the same faith. The olFence consists in having charged in hi paper, that the divines were the paid scandal mcngers ot the Texas Baptist and llerald and notorious liars. The indictments have produced a bitter newspaper Avar between tho Western Baptist and Herald. The accused : pars n declares that he will prove that tha al legations are true, when the case goes to trial. The legal contest bids fair to become a most sensational one. Rev. Hanks is one of the most eloquent preachers and forcible writers in Texas.. He was rais ed iu Alabama and located in Georgia has filled pulpits in Alabama. Geors-ia niui vieinitv. JopH li.

Gar st was in the city yesterday and was questioned by the Times correspondent for his opinion of the prospectsT for a good fruit crop this year. Mr. Garst has a fine orchard of sev eral thousand peach and apple trees, and is a-member of the Virginia Fruit and Vegetable raekers' Absocia'.ion, which met in Salem this week. Mr. Garst said: "The pros pects are flattering for a good peach crop. The trees are bud ding slightly now and they will be m full blossom m two weeks, unless the weather is extremely cold tor the next fortnight. "Tne peach crop, however, is not entirely out of danger. A late frost may damage- tho crop very materially yet, but the chances are that we .will have plenty of peaches this year. "I think it is safe to say that the apple crop is altogether out of danger, and the apple trees will not be in blossom tor a 'month yet." Y ou remember that last I year tho peaches were, most of ; them, all killed in January. : I "A good deair of attention is sand trees in his orchard. Good Xcws fr l-'ariiifr.".

Director of the Mint Leech states that after July it is prob able no more silver dollars will be coined, but suvcf certificates will bo printed instead. Con gress has given the Secretary 01 the treasury power to recoin about $2,500,000 of the subsidi ary coin now in the Treasury, and that too, will probably be done as soon as possible after thebeginuingof the next fiscal year. This will, in effect, put just so mucn more money in circulation. There are also about 2,G00,000 silver dollars in the Treasury against which silver certificates can be issued. -Ex. What They Fear. Tho champion of the Force bill, Senator Hoar, made a din ner speech, at the Massachusetts club, iu Boston, a few days ago, and among other things lie said "That it was not the dem ocratic party that republicans had to fear in 1812, but it was the Southern democrats and the ally, the Massachusetts mugwumps, that g ve cause fur alarm" This is very refreshing, com ing I rom the man who desired to force iiihjii the euple such an iniquitous bill as he champ ioiu'd. No doubt tho two agencies he mentioned will have a great deal to do with the defeat of the republicans next .year. Tne Norfolk Ledger calls tho Sena tor's attention to the fact that to those whose vision extends ocyoml the section w hich causes Mr. Hoar so much uneasiness, tho Farmers' All ance in the West is regarded ns a very im- i port an t factor in all calculations that may be made concerning the Presidential contest. It is probable, however, that Mr. Hoar's remarks were, only in tended fur local application. The Ienoif .Tophv ay the snow was four incues deep last Saturday between Boono and (lowing Rock, a fierce and cut- tins? wind swept southward, and Editor Scott and Mr. W.

TheltevereuU Thomas Pays Ills Kcspects to Mr. Dana. A few days ago tho New York Sun contained a very long and abusive article on Rev. Thnmaa" T)inn fallinr 1 him a . sensational and blood-thirsty , preacher, and applying other 4 uncomplimentary- epithets to ' our North Carolina preacher who is winning his way to fame in New York. The following , which we clip from the Sun, shows what Mr. Dixon thinks of the Sun: . VThis newspaper is one of the most interesting - criminal phenomena "of our times. Its , influence in debauching the public mind is in one sense ap palling considering the number ll. A. 1 , , mere are in ine woria wno believe what they see in print is so hff nnsfl it is in nrint. T road the Sun at least once a week for the same reason a distinguished Methodist editor of New York says he reads it every day, viz: I am here to destroy the works of the devil, and I want the news straight from headquar ters." Its pages flash with hu man gen jus, and yet it is the livingmbodiment of all that is rnost)rutal in our life. It has no faith in God or man. It con tain more editorials on religion thanfany other great daily, aad every one of these editorials am cloalted assassin's thrust at the heart of religion. They are planned with consummate skill, couched in insinuating language with the deliberate purpose of destroying the faith of men. The dreams of human brother hood, the faith and love of nhil- anthropy these are the shining marss at which are buried the keenest satire and vitriol steep ed ridicule. It has been the champion of most of the great scoundrels who have flourished in New York for years. The work of punishing criminals and vindi cating the majesty of the law has been left to others. It has devoted its energy to the de struction of relijrion. the villifi- cation of and slander of the good and great. It has especial ly taken delight in slandering aiiM iuiui IUC1I ll-UWill UUU noblest ministers of reliirion. whose lives have blest this na tion. It claims to support a great national political party, ' and yet lies awake at night to think up new epithets to hurl at the only man who has led that party to success in a generation. To earn its condemnation is the highest compliment a decent man can win in New York. Its powers of wilful lying are sim ply sublime. They seem limited only by the capacity of human genius. And those limitations are purely rhetorical, not moral. In its soul of souls it hates God and man. The story of a nriza fight is its highest aspiration. the assassination of personal character its specialty. It is the personified genius of the most hideous materialism of the country. Its end is to make money, and it is ever ready to sell out heaven to do this. The fatal limitation of its monev. making powers simply lies m the fact that it hates man as heartilly as it hates God. Man is a patient fool movincr in mass. but now nnd then Im vnt-M m. and resents, the insults to the race, and then the circulation tumbles down and must bo built UP nzain. The criminal element of the community have a powerful ally in such a paper. n simpiy doubles their power for evil. Let Christian men nf all creeds nnd noble men of nr church creed remember that fact." Turned Hark.
