The flowers sent by Mrs. Julian Carr, or Durham, were just as pret ty as Queen ictona s, and spoke more eloquently ox the reeling that prompted the tribute, for they were cuiitxi by Her own bands. i There ia erery prospect of auStal- watt war on tbe "ins".

Best's new read will run along side of, or within sight of, tlie North Carolina R, li.for eighteen mil from hnn) to Smitn- field. Then it will cut across the country towards Tittsboro; leaving "RnlmVh twelve miles to the Xorth- ward. It may not injure Raleigh, hnf at nil Avenra will 1 of small benefit. Tossihly Best is J making a splutter in order to induce the R. & I), people to lease the Goldsboro Raleigh 48 miles of track, jiiut, as they are hardly likely to consent; we shall no doubt hear thef remark in the Legislature this winter, that the "whole power of the State" has been loaned to build a road which virtuallv killed a lonff section of another State road. Vakck and the PKESslThere is do man iu iforth Carolina who has bad more to do with tbe press than Zebalon B. Vance. With sin galar nnaoimity and unshaken de votion, tbe Democratic journals of tbe State bave stood by his for tones with a fidelity and devotion that Is Untitled to some cratefulj remem- brunt . even if It has Dot earned active gratitude. It haa at least deserved exemption fiom imputa- Itiona of corroDtibiluy wbicb, aa applied to any Democratic paper in North Carolina, is not becoming from Gov. Vance even nnder the heat of a newly , Inspired zeal for bis novel crusade. , He baa hzi op portunity to learn, even amid the blindness of admiration for him, that tbe press of North Carolina ia honest, outspoken and sincere, and that while; personal xeal or party passion may swerve it, it is immov able under the influences to which he attributes the opposltloa'to bis present position. It was said of t66 j Influence pf John O. Calhonn that when he took snuff all South Carolina sneezed. The sympathies of North Carolinians are not so well trained in the art of sternutation. (Vben they form opinions, they are apt to adhere jto them. More par ticularly will they do so when those opinions are formed on the judge ment and urgent counsel of men they trust and admire, such as Zebulon B. Vance. Bat there' is enough of the; tar heel in their com position to ensure adhesion to de liberately! formed purpose. They are not weathercocks to veer around at the change! of opinion of any one man, however loved and trusted. Tbe argument urged upon them two short years ago to convince them of the wisdom of the sale of the Wes tern road have not yet spent their force. The perilous position in which the State and the Democratic party was placed by the failure of Mr, Best to meet his obligations are not forgotten, and the people, at least of one important section, are not Willing to undo what has been done, nor to invite back Mr. Best to an other trial ofjhis capabilities. i ' ; Gov. I Vance should know the press of North Carolina better than to suggest . that their opposition to his purpose is the work of corpora tions whd, to carry ends, "know how to (Subsidize legislatures ai)d corrupt the press.? Such imputa tions might oall in question the so lidity of his own merits. No man i n tbe State has bad more to do with legislatures aud tbe press than he has. . nis intimations of their cor ruptibility might be made sugges tive. ; i , j Honieoit qui mal pente.

I procured 13 Qerman Carp tpinnows, froaa two to three inches long, from 8, Q. Worth, State Fish Commissioner. Iof June , the spring went dry owing to the dry season, and the water began to sink, looked muddy and waa very warm, and a green scum came en She surface. I waa sure that i tny fish werd all dead. By the last of August the pond, or m bat was onee the pend, aad beeome a small mud hole covering an area of three iby, Jen feetaad ; the j water waa only ten' or twelve inebea deep. By thia time I had given np all hope of my fish. 80 aure jwaa I that they were, all dead that I only pat into the pond a halt paund of aah cake three timee daring the summer.: About the last of August the water gt io low I thought I would see if there . was ' a ingle live fish left. I took a net and atir ted op the mud and to uiy aurpriae I took out sevf nteei fish from six to eight mchea Ion, weighing a half pound each. Tbey were as! fine looking flh aa I ever aaw.i I atonceimsde new pond, where there waa a supply of water, ihiasisr tbat if they dd ao well without attention , that they would do a great deal better in good water juid plenty of food.
