Another meet ing will be held tonight, and the one on Wednesday evening will be a pub lic mass-meeting in the city hall, when the reasons for deserting the G A R will be given and the principles and object of the new order laid before the public. Adjutant General Koontz says simuar meetings will be he'd all over the State within the next week. Mr. Koontz said last evening that he had letters from men in eight States indicating that the movement is national. Among the letters re ceived was one from John A.

The management of the n ional exposition at Augusts, Georgia, has appointed Thursday, i December 6th, as "North Carolina Day," and extends a special invitation to our people to visit its city at the time mentioned. North Carolinians should evince their appreciation of the compliment as fully as possible. From all we have gathered from our eiohanges we conclude; that the exposition in question covers a larger area of industries and shows better what the whole South is doing and what it will be able to do in the fu ture than any heretofore held. We learn also that the different railroad companies have made such liberal ar- rmentffiLustra1 !!f AtSt m IVWVt WWBW wmmj ; done heretofore, or than there is any probability of their being able to do after the exposition ; closes.

We hope uvery one of our readers who can wt li make the trip will do so, for, as t ays a friend who writes us urging a large attendance of our people, "the kery best exhibit that North Carolina: can make any where is an exhibit of its own sturdy, intelligent and patriotic citizens." .

The story of the underground river reported to have been discov ered in thia section is assuming amus ing proportions and proportions which would be decidedly alarming if credited here as they seem to be elsewhere. Governor Scales yester day receiyed a letter from a promi nent literary man in Boston, en closing the following sensational ar ticle clipped from the London Times, and bearing the headline of " Threatened Town:" "The Frankfurter Zeitung: pub lishes a letter from an American cor respondent, who says that the town of Raleigh, in North Caroline, ia threatened with desertion by its in habitants, who have been thrown into make themselves heard above all ordi nary sound. The chief noise resem bles that of rushing streams,; as if masses of water were seeking new channels within the earth. : The grpuhd seems hollow to those who walk in the streets: loaded wagons passing cause a loud echoing rumble, as if the town were built over a vault Naturally, the noises are more; audi ble at night, and many persons have been so terrified that they have quit ted the town. Np subterranean ex plosions, have yet been heard, and those who hate listened to the . noises by placing their ears to the ground or to a wall declare that they refera ble the sound made by a powerful rush of gas or steam. The most ac cepted explanation is that some inter nal changes are in progress in the neighborhood, but borings and exca vations which have been carried out have not furnished any data to sup port any yiew of the origin of the mysterious sounds." The gentleman in question wanted to know what foundation there was for the above and how it originated. The Governor replied that the yarn only had existence in some correspon dent's fertile imagination.
