TIIK EVRNIXO — Tllm is the
name of a neat, w)l edited, daily paper,
published in Wilmington, by M*s«r*.
James ft Prior editors and proprietors.
It is conducted by experienced news
paper men, of which it- bears flattering
testimony. It is democratic in politics,
ami enterprising iu character. We
wish it a long useful; brilliant and prof
itable c»re*r, and with pleasure wel
come Ifs daily visits. Years hence, may
it review its pa«t, and grj\v happy at
t ie of memory,«>listack'6 overcome, diffi
culties surmounted (if any such are in its
pathway) and a grand success achiev
ed.
We learn from a friend that Mr. J
T. Wrrel 1, 6f Chatham county, has this
year r4i#4« gourd that is five feet in
eireumferrence; or rather the gourd
raised itself on Mr. FerrelFs
the planting of the seed being all the
help it had. 'Now, if the next years
eampaigu should bo a repitition of 1840,
and hard-cider should become' a symbol
ic beverage during its progress, and
should if be takes in the truly rural
style— out of a gourd—how anxious
man; would be te get this gourd, or
•OflMJ>f its kind. Mr. Ferrell, let it get
good ripe, and tend us some seed, we
want to set op in opposition to the
coopers, and kraut stand makers.
Sniocs AFFKAT. —On last night, a
week ago, there occurred quite a seri
ous affray at Company /Shops. There
were, as we'get it, several drinkiug at
the grocery ot one Levi. J. May, when
a difficulty ocfcnrred and a fight ensued f
in which there w ere several engaged;
During the melee one James Sellars
was severely stabbed. It Was thought
for some days that his wound would
prove fatal, but there is now strong
hopes lor his life, thongh his condition
is yet critical. T. R. Simpson
rested and brou ht before AJpfD. Fau
cett, Esq, charged wkhrlfaving done the
stabbing. Probabjte cause having been
shown, he v^s, bound over to the next
term of the Court, and held to
bail iu SIOOO,OO which he gave. From
what we can learn, there are grave
daub's existing iu the mind of the pub
lic, as to who really did the stabbing.
Cellar*,the stabbed man,is quite a young
man, while Simpson, who stands bound
over to answer the charge,is a man some
fifty years of age, and so far a* wc
know, has always been peaceably inclin
ed. _ . •
A CHALLENGE.— Our friend S. D. Holt
authorizes us to make the following
challenge: That be will show corn
against any of his county men, upon tbe
foliowiog'tfefins; .each shall exhibit a
barrel in tlie ear, and tlie otto who has
tbe HbmMr corn,, lor both bread and
stock shall have the barrel ot bis
oompstlfpr as a premium, or five dot
lars at the option ol tbe loosing party,
the nutter to be decided by a committee
of disinterested Burners, and the exbi
bition to take place iu G rabam at any
time aftercrops are gathered, we bope
some toMsjrttl contest Mr. Holt's claim
to bent corn. A friendly
rivalry - iiv the production of tbe beat
quality of tfcb various • rricultural pro
ducts cannot (ail to be of practical good
to our farmers. This challenge of Mr.
Holt's may lead to something like a
fair among our fhrtners, in which tbe
premiums will be made np by them,
and from agricultural products, it will
extend to an exhibition of stock. We
noticed eomeihne since that the Patrons
of in Edgeoombe county
proposed to inaugurate snob ah exhi
bition with the yiew of stimulating the
ngricnlturaljyKerest in their eounty.
The project is e ntircly feasable. Ut
someone accept Mr. Holt's proposition
*°d W other propositions be made,
inclnfing the various fttrm and gar
den predate, Anita and stock, and let
• day for tbe exhibition be appointed
.and regulations adopted. And let the
manner and cost of raising the stock,
and agricultural products, accompany
them. Let ns have something of tbe
hind. W|»o will take the inltative?
We thinjk the grangers should.

[COMMUNICATED.]
Hundreds of dollars are sent out of Ala
jmauce couuty, every spring for seed potatoes,
ftois money can aa .easily be- saved —no*,
moma' saved is money made. With proper
care potatooa are easily saved ; and as tlie sea
son forNUgging is at hand, we will venture
a few suggestions in regard to digging and
keeping tlfcm. As potatoes grow very rapidly
at the elude ot the season, do not dig till frost
kills the vires. If possible dig next day after
frost ; for ilkleft for a few day.?, "the vitiated
sap fiom the decaying vines in jures the pota
toes. Dig with care. Avoid as much as pos
sible skinning, bruising or cutting them. Take
a scythe, cut the vines close to the ridge or
hili; if the vines are large roll them into heaps,
take a tnruiag plow and- bar off the ridres,
then with a good shovel or two horse plow
tarn up the potatoes, Do not leave tl>ein long
in tbe suuohlue, but gather them into vessels
carefully, respecting the cut or damaged ones;
and carry or haul them to the place of deposit;
which should be a dry cellar, that can be ven
tilated and reudeicd cold or hot— a fodder
house or a dw shelter. If a fodder bouse or
shelter, raise the ground six Inches or a foot,
to prevent moisture arising from beneath; and
securely trench. If a shelter have it facing
the sooth with the northeast and west sides
closed ; and in trenching, bank up the earth
against it. Get a small hollow-log, bore it full
of auger boles, or nail four weather-boards
together, tilled with holes, set on end ; pile
tbe potat les in a concr around it, and then
cover them with straw, hay, shucks or fodder;
occasionally throwing over thorn a little dry
sand or dirt to absorb the sweat or moisture,
for soon after potatoes are dug they undergo
a sweating process, and if kept two hot they
will rot. When ice forms incb thick; or
cold seis in, cover securely with dry sand, or
dirt,—sand Is better. This can now be easily
dried in the tobacco barns, while curing to
bacco—keep a plug in your ho!low-log or box
in very COM Weather, la warn weather keep
It open.
If these simple directions are carried out
faithfully, and your potatoes do not save, it
wtUbe bee a use you eat them, or somebody
steals them. 1 B. F. W.
A FATAL ACCIDENT.— We learn that
Mr. Bobert Norfleet, a young Iswye r
of Tsrboro, N. C., while out linnting
bats on Monday afternoon met with a
fatal aeeident by tbe discbarge of hie
gun, both loads lodging in his abdo
men.
He was going up Tar Biver in a
canoe, and attempting to draw bis gun
to him by tbe barrel, the hammers were
drawn back and fell on tbe caps.
He survived in great agony until
1 p. m. when he dfed.
He was a gentleman of talent and
highly respected, and liis loss will be
severely fek> in that community.—Ral

Thomas Jefferson Randolph, the only
grand-son ot Thomas Jefferson, died at
h ; » home near CharlottsvMle Va. on
Tuesday the sth of this month, aged
abont eighty years. He was his grand
fathers executor, and. by that illustrious
statesman,"given control over his pnbli c
and private papers. He published four
volumes of these. '££*' *
SODDEN DEATH.— On sunday, tenth
of this month, two sudden desthsoc
curred in Raleigh. Edmund. £. Har
ris a man 64 years old, while walking
in the garden, fell to the ground, and
died before he could be carritd into the
bouse. He was a man oi high respecta
bility. ♦
Joseph T. Bachalan had been 6ick
fer about a week, bnt was much im.
proved. On Sunday afternoon he wai
sitting up, talking pleasantly, when he
fell forward, and died almost instantly.
He was agerman by birth, but had been
a citizen ot lialeigh siuee 1865. He hail
filled important ami responsible posi
tions iu the city government of Ral
eigh.
Dr. J.K. Pinnix, a highly rcspccfaty* 1
citizen of Davidson county, committed
suicide on the night of the Bth of this
month. He had been suffering for
some time wi'h neuralgia of the heart
and head. His nervous system, it ap
pears,became totully unstrung and men
tal aberation followed. The fatal deed
was done with a rifle,which was loaded
and laid upon a table, with the muzzle
near the head of the unfortunate man-
It was fired by means of a string attaclr
ed to the trigger. - The sad event cast a
gloom over the citizens of Lexington,
of which town the Doctor was a highly
esteemed citizen. The facts we glean
from the Central.
Hon. T. L. Clingman, Hon. Jno. Man.
ning, Messrs. B. W. Bunn and W P.
Roberts and Hon. David S. Reid, mem
bem of the lads convention, and a com
mute on behalf of the friends of Con
stitutional reform, in the name of those
Ihey represented, presented to Ho:;. Ed
ward Ransom President of the late con
vention. a Silver Serviie appmpiatcly
engraved. The Hon. Edward Ransom
accepted the testimonial in a letter leel
ingly and appropiately written. We
havn't room tor the full correspondence,
both of the committee, and the recipient
of this mark of respect and apprecia
tion.
The Atlanta and Agusta (Ga. ) papers
concur in stating that money matters
are rapidly improving in all the cotton
towns of the Southern States. The
planters are in better condition to "hold
back" their crop than at any period
since the war.—Heretofore they have
had it so heavily mortgaged they were
forced to sell lor whatever price ollered,
these mortgages always maturing prior
to the 15 th October. This placed a
great percentage ou the market, depres
sing and breaking it down to a low fig
ure. Now, however, the planters are
a very little, compartively speaking, in
debt.
From a table, prepared by that enter
prising Journal, the Daily Newt, and
which is doubtless very nearly if not
quite correct, we learn that there were
only 4,173 majority agrinst convention
at the recent election.—That is that re
publican candidates, and anti-conven
tion candidates throughout the State
only received that number ot votes more
than the democratic and Convention
candidates. So republican assertions
of the popular will as expressed at the
polls fall to the ground,
The Postmaster General has decided
that it isillcgal to write anything but the
simple address on tbe lace of a postal
card. Even the date and locality are
forbidden. If anything other than tbe
address is written »n the lace it is not
to be mailed, but if it *hould be, then
at the office of its destination, the post'
master is to collect six cents postage,
and refund one rent for the card. Peo
ple can ggrcrii their postal card corres
pondence according to this decission.
Mooor AND BANKET.—Ii is at last de
termined that Moody and Bankey are
to begin their revival work in the great
cities of this soon try in Brooklyn. Tbls
will be weleome news; for notwilh
standingjour sister city is called "the
City of Churches," few places more
hi need of tbe spirit of reCqmatlon.
Tbe u>etropol|s will also feel the bene,
fits of the rsvivtl, so that the work
will really embrace both cities.—Bmr

WASHINGTON, Oct. 9.—Tbe mortuary
record of the board of health for tbe
weekending Oct. 2nd, shows that tbe
rate of mortality cf tbe white popula
tion was 16 per one thousand this per
i annum, while the mortality ot the col
ored population was 47 per thousand
for the same period. The previous rec
ords of the Board exhibit similar facts,
showing the 4e6rease of the African
race in tbe district of Columbia.

THIRTY-FIRST DAT.
More petitions presented from tax
payers, praying that an ordinance? be
passed, preventing the General Assem
bly Irom paying the Special tax bunds,
without tirst submitting the question to
the people.
The ordinance defining the jurisdic
tion ol the Supreme court was adopt
ed.
Motion by Mr. Manning of Chatham,
to suspend the rules, and take up the
resolution, declaring that the Special
tax bonds shall not be paid, without
first consulting the people at the ballot
box.
An acclamation vote was laken and
the motion lost.
Mr. Manning of Chatham, renewed
his motiou to suspend the rules, and
take up the resolution iu regard to the
Special tax bond.
The motion was lost by nearly a strict
party vote.
Boyd and Nowell republicans voting
for the motion and Clingman, Coleman
and Durham democrats Voting against.
There were fifty-seven for the motion
and ferty-cight against it. It requires
sixty-one votes, or a majority of the
whole number ot delegates to suspend
the rules. This was the nearest a test
vote, as to how the delegates stood in
regard to the Special tax bonds of auy
taken during the sitting of the Conven
tion. Those voting for a suspension of
the rules arc understood to have favor
ed the passage of the resolution to pre
vent the General Assembly from ever
levying any tax to pay these Special tax
bonds until the proposition to do so is
submitted to the people and ratified by
them. Those opposing the motion are
understood to have opposed the resolu
tion. The people should observe, and
make a note.
A motion to ndjonrn sine die at 6
o'clock p. in. was adopted.
Here folio wad a discussion in regard

tion of personal privilege and consumed

AFTERNOON SESSION.
Mr. Barringei asked to read a protest
from himself and a number of bis party
friends against the action of the conven
tion (being adockument some 80 or 40
pages long.) Mr- Jarvis objected to the
admission of the protest, upon the
ground that it was wrong, at the close
of the convention, that a protest against
anything passed by that body, or any
action by that body, should be offered
by any one, and that to do so was want
ing in fairness. Mr. Ilarringer moved
the protest bo received.
Mr v Jurvis liiy the motion
on the table, aud upon hi* motion call
cd the yeas and nays, but before the vote
could be announced (which had prevail
cd by Boruc nine majority.) the Presi
dent announced that the hour of six
having arrived, he declared the conven
tion adjourned ainedie.
