g-oreraoieat to afford the needful
piotactloa aad exercise proper care
for the welfare of a people that
zaast bare boiaceaelty ia its con
stitaeats. It is this necessity wkich
has dirided the ban an race Into

defeated the ejaadsst efforts which
coaqstrors hare taasla to fire a-
United extent to ' their domain.
Whea oar fathers dissolred their

At a tinie whea the minds of
mea are stray In g far from- the
leasees oar fathers taaght. it seems
proper and well to recnr to the
rigiaal principles on which the
system of coTernmeat they devised
was foanded. The eternal traths
which they annonnced, the rights
which they declared "unalienable,"
are the foundation-stone oa which
tests the vindication of the Con
federate casts. .
He xaast bare been a careless
reader of oar political hlstery whe
has not observed that, whether
under the. style of 'United : Colo
nies' or United 8Utee,' which was
adopted after the declaration ef
iniependeace, whether nnder the
articles of confederation or the
compact of anion, there everywhere
appears the distinct assertion of
Bute sovereignty, and nowhere the
iMghtest snggection of any purpose
oa the part of the States to consol
idate themselves into one! body.
Will any candid, 'well informed
man assert that, at aay time be
tween 1776 aad 1790, a proposition
to surrender the sovereignty of the
States and merge these into a cen
tral government would have had
the least possible chance ef adop
tion T Caa any historical fact be
more demonstrable than that the
Slates did, both in the Con federa
tion and In the Union, retain ; their
sovereignty and independence as
distinct communities, voluntarily
consenting to federation, ! bat
never becoming the fractional pane
of a natien f That each opinions
sboald find adherents in oar day
taay be attributable ta the natural
law of aggregation surely j not to
a conscientious regard for the terms
of the compact for Union by the
State. I
In all free Governments the Con
stitution or organiolaw is supreme
over the Government, and in oar
Federal Union this was most dis
tinctly narked by limitations and
prohibitions against all which was
beyond the - expressed grants of
Kwer to the general government,
the foreground, therefore, I take
the position that those who resisted
violatioaa of the compact were the
true friends, and those who main
tained the usurpation ol undelegat
ed powers were the real enemiee of
the constitutional Union.
To the parents, the widows and
the orphan a et the Confederate
dead, I offer the consolation that
these for whom they mourn died
for the right a willing sacrifice oa
the altar of their country, where
their memories, enshrined ; in the
hearts of tbeir people, will go down
in tradition to posterity, immortal
ized by valor in defence of borne
and martyrdom for liberty.'

Black Knots on Plum Trees
Cosstry Gestlentan.'
What Is the cause aad what will
prevent the black knots which are ;
appearing oa the plana and eherry
trees T It is a new disease ef trees
to me, aad I do not know : what to
do to rid the trees of them.
' A. m. n.
SUdwitn, E. X. j
The remedy which for many years
we have found easy aad effectual.
is to watch' the trees Bad eat oil
the exercsceacec as soon as they
appear, catting well into the wood
so as to make clean work. The
great point is tbe prompt app'ica
lion ef the remedy. After the blaek
knots have been allowed to extend
aad increase, the work of excision
Is more laborious and difficult, and
more donbtf al of success ; and when
trees are. covered over with knots!
the remedy woald require the en

THo c p. & y. v. n. it.
Chatksm XUeerd. April 14.1 !
We had the pleasure of atttndiai:
ia the towa of Fayetteville, on the
7th insL, the annual mneting of the
stockholders of the Cspe Fear and
Yadkin Valley. Esilway Company.
The proceedings of the meeting
were moss harmoniously conducted,
the greatest naaaimity of feeling
in -
prevailed, and the friends of this
great work of Internal improvement
were infused with new life aad with
the brightest he pes of ite early
coaDletroa and ef the imDortaat
results to flow therefrom.-
The State's proxy was Dr. J. L.
Smith, of Alleghany - county, who
with the private stockholders re
elected aU the officers, directors
and employees of the company.
The most important business was
the ratification of the contract
made, the day previous, by the
directors cf this company with the
Fayette villa & Florence Ballroad
Company, by which contract the
two roads are consolidated end
merged Into one.
The President's Annual Be port
gave maca eaeoaragemeas to the
ctockhcldcrs, and impressed as
favorably ' esto the work al
ready done and the cheer
ing prospects ef the future.
He stated that dnring the past
year thirty-nine miles of road-bed
had beea graded and made ready
for the superstructure, so that now
the entire distance from tha Gulf to
Greensboro, and eighteen miles
beyond tbe latter town, Is graded.
All this work has been done, not
withstanding the severity cf the
past winter and tha withdrawal of
more than one-half of his force of
convicts, about the 1st of Novem
ber. The State's appropriation for
support of convicts had been ex
hausted on tha first of last Septem
ber, and since that time they have
been wholly maintained, elothed
and guarded at the Company's ex
pense. The total namber of con
victs now employed is one hundred
and thirteen. The Board of Direc
tors had ! decided to adhere to the
guage of four feet.eight and a half
inches, after maturely considering
the respective merits of broad and
narrow gusge roads, tbeir cost ef
construction, capacity for trans
portation, adaptation to the conn
try, its present and future con
nections, da. A contract has been
made with tbe Western Union
Telegraph Company lor the erection
of a telegraphic line all along the
route of tbe road. The poles have
been oat sod will at once be placed
between Fayettville and the Golf,
and from thia point the telegraph
line will be constructed as rapidly
as the track is laid on the road.
The Superintendent's Beport
showed that the receipts of the
company for tbe past fiscal year had
been $32,550, and the operating ex
penses (29,115. ; The throagh
freight and passenger receipts had
Increased 11,100.92, while the local
freight and passenger receipts de
creased $014.79. One locomotive,
one baggage car, and one passen
ger coach had been thoroughly re
paired, and the unusual severity of
the weather had rendered necessa
ry a great deal of work on the road
bed. The bridges and trestles were
all in good condition, and the road
ia good running order from Fay
etteville to the Gait, a distance if
forty seven miles.
President Gray and Superintend
ent Jooes have proven to 6e faith
ful, realouc and active officers, pe
culiarly qualified for their respec
tive positions, and tbeir unanimous
re-election ' was a compliment well
merited. The obstacles, they have
overcome, would have discouraged
others, so that the success that has
attended their difficult labors mast
be very gratifying to them.
A snficient quantity of rails has
beea purchased to lay the track
from the Gulf to Greensboro, a dis
tance of fiity-one miles, and it is
eonfldstly expected that the road
will be ia running order from Fay
etteville to Greensboro before the
close of thbj year. The work of lay
ing the track will begin at tbe Gulf,
and the cars will reach Ore Hill in
time for our farmers to send their
new floor by rail to market. The
only thing that may cause any de
lay will be In getting tbe cross ties.
Jast at this season oar farmers are
all very busy, and bat few of them
may taka contracts for famishing
the ties. The Superintendent is
now making contracts for the de
livery of ties from the Gulf to. Ore
BUI, and we hope that oar people
living in that section will do all
they can to hasten tbe completion
of a read that will so greatly bene
fit them. This road traverses oar
coaaty for a distance of aim oat thir
ty miles, entering the county below
Egypt and pursuing a northwester
ly course goes oat at the "Staley"
Slace, seven miles northwest of
aUhews'X Boads, so that its
completion is of the highest impor
tance and will be of the greatest
benefit to the people of western
Chatham. We therefore do most
heartily congratulate them that
their long deferred hopes will soon
be realized, and they will be ena
bled to enjoy the conveniences and
advantages of railway communica
tion with he rest of the world.
Bat it Is not to the people of
Chatham alone that this railroad
will be of such great benefit, for its
completion will more greatly bene
fit the State of North Carolina than
any other work of Internal improve
ment now projected, and yet its
construction does not seem to
excite the public Interest and at
tention that its importaace de
mands. Tha consolidation of the
FajeUevillo & Florence Ballroad
with this readers certain a railwaT
connection Iron the ' mountains' to
ar most Important' sebcrt.: the
city cf Wilniagtca. r The read-bed
Is now traded from Fayetteville to
Shoe Heel (a distance. ef thirty
three miles) on the Carolina.. Con-
tral Kallway, and President Gray
hope to hare the track laid within
twelve months. While Greensboro
and Fayetteville' and 'other terns
along the line of the road will be
greatly benefited by its completion.
yet we Ihlak the eity'cf Wilsaiag
ton will derive the rreateatbeaefiL
aad we are sarprisei that her ea
tsrprlsing business - men- do not
seem to appreciate the importance
(to them) of aiding in- its comple
tion. Whea the road is constructed
to lit. Airy, ta Barry coaaty.' aad
ti Patterson , In Caldwell, and the
Cap fcctweaa FayettavUle aad-fihoe
Heel is fioished, there will be a
line of railway over three hundred
miles la length, traversing the Bute
diagonally from the northwest to
the southeast, developing and
opening op the richest and most
productive eonaties of, the State,
I nd carrying theirmany and varied
products to their natural outlet,
oar own "city by the sea," Our
oft raunted "North Carollaa: sys
tem9 has as yet beea a tSyth, bat,
with tbe cent pi et ion of the Gape
Fear and Yadkin Valley Bailrcad,
It will be a reality, and at last the
hopes of two generations be fulfilled.
Let cb then uphold tha hands of
Pretidcat Gray la his grand under

One of the events ef the day was ths in-
trodectien of Miss Ansis Dejarnette, the
aister, aad tks only one, of tho prisoner at
the bar. Mice Dejarnette was attired in a
fall suit of hesvy mourning, her head ssd
body being esveloped in a thick black
crepe veil, thst concealed bar face from
the curious gase of tho crowd that even
at that boar thronged the court room.
8he is about eighteen .years of ags, and
has a plasssnt figure ssd face, and a finely

himself suffering from various dis
eases, when in reality from some,
his melancholy, disposition to be
alone, frequently very talkative and
then rery reticent, the ehangein
his habits and temperament from
what he had been on former oc
casions, and there . may ; be some
others that I do not remember, are
causes. In this condition of body
and mind he suddenly receives the
intelligence of the. downfall of a
loved and favorite Sister, that she
was in a orotaei, aad this shock, or
- 1 exciting j cause developed insane
delusions and nnder ita impulse he
committed . the act these are mv
reasons for forming the opinion of
the defendants insanity. They are
not all of my reasons, they are in
connection with others or all the
circumstances detailed by the dif
ferent witnesses in the case. The
natnre and character of the act
itself is indicative of insanity. His
cool, calm, indifferent manner, ex
hibited both to the sister and those
around him, making no effort to
escape, justifying himself by sta
tlne that he believed he had done
his duty that he did it to retrieve
the honor of his father and him
self, for the good of bis sister Mol
lie, whom he killed, and for the
good of his little sister, that it
might be a warning to her; his
willingness and readiness to sur
render himself into the hands 6
the law, all tend to the formation
of my opinion. It is the aggrega
tion of . circumstances, not the de
tails, that make up opinion. The
hereditary insanity is extraordi
nary and rarely met with. I J .
The .Dr. next explained what
spermatorrhea was, in , plain but
comprehensive terms. "I ! have
lived in Gailford'Connty, N. O, for
six! years. Know Dr. Denny's
character to be good, his reputation
good. He is a county commissioner
of Guilford county. The character
of Mr. Chilcutt is good. I am not

Cross-examined. "Will yon tell
the jury what delusional insanity
is f asked Mr. Blackwell. i -i
Answer. "A delusion is a false
idea, the result of the brain in which
the mental faculties are perverted
or impaired. A man might nnder
this delusion, tbe result of dis
ease, conceive tbe idea that he
ought to kill his mother or brother,
&c, and under (that impulse not
having sufficient control of his will,
do the killing. This is an illustra
tion of delusional insanity.9
"Dr. Hannibal labored nnder the
delusion that after rem ain g fourteen
years on the Italian peninsula, if he
remained two years longer be could
conquer the country. . Was he in
sane V : j i" . I
"I do not know," said the Doctor.
"Neither do I,f said tbe Attorney.
The case of the Southern Con
federacy was then cited, and tbe
question asked, If we were insane
in that attempt
Dr. Gregory replied, "That J we
reasoned from false conclusions."
"I only know by tbe results and
the symptoms indicated, that the
prisoner was laboring under in
sanity. I do not know what the
phvsieial disease was, nor can any
man know. I thought the prisoner
insane at the time of the murder,
all his faculties gone and bis memo
ry perverted. !
i "Will you state any fact which
shows this." said Mr. Blackwell.
--J. Uif UUI maun auj iaki aivK'J-)
"State a group of facts." I
I "I refer yon to my previous state- j
ments to Bhowj that memory and
judgment were p erverted. I think
the plans of deliberation which
caused tha prisoner to execute the
act, showed his faculties to be im
paired." j I
