It is our painful doty to chronicle
thif morning the death of one of the
few Major-Generals which Virginia
contributed to the Ceo. federate cause
who hate survived up to .this date.
General George E. Pickett is the tub
ject of this notice, and wc regret to
stale that he breathed his last at the
Hospital of St. Vincent de Paul last
evening at 10; 45 o'clock, after a
.brief but painful illness. The General
which caused his death. He had
rooms at the Atlantic Hotel, from
which he was removed to the Hospital,
where more perfect quiet could bo
tsecured, and where he received 'the
Tery best possible attention, the mem-
bers of his family being with him

In examining the Civil Issue Docket,
we fina a Lumber of errors, though
small, yet we think they should be tor
rected, and if after due examination, '-he
errors are found to be simply mistakes
and not intentional, the clerk t nder
whose administration they were made,
rd;cv1 fl,om
that now rests upon him, but it on the
contrary, they be found to be errors
made purposely for the 'sake of the few
cents thatjwould be put in lib pocket,
unjustly taken from the parftes interes
ted in the cases, then he should be
made to suffer the penalty of the law
for his crime.
The cases that wc found are these,
(and we understand there are numbers
of others) but before giving the cases,
we will simply state for the benefit of
these who are not familiar with the
workings of the office of the clerk,
tliat for each continuance of a ea&e by
the court, the clerk gets the sum of 80
cents, and for convenience in assisting
him to nake up his bill of .cost, he
numbers each continuance, for instance
if a man has a case which comes up
before the Spring term of the Court
and is continued to Fall term that uuni
bers one continuance! for Which the
clerk receives 50 cents if again con
tinued, tho clerk receives pay. for two
continuances, or GO and so on. Now
we find the following eases :
Fall term 1873, Jno. C. Freeman
vs. Thos.C. Smith, aduiV., &c, contin-
uanee JXo, lz. fcpring term ibi-i,
continuance No. 15 ; there you see the
parties upon whom the cost shall fall
will have to pay for two continuances
more than he ought to. , The samo
case continued again from Spring Term
1874 to Fall term 1874, jumped from
15 to 17. I'f that case there are 1'our
continuances to be. paid for by somebody
iu the bill of cost, if this thing is not
corrected, making, a gain to the clerk
of $1,20.
Another, W. II & A. S. Strothcr
surviving partner &c, v. s. W. II.
Spencer .Admr., jumped from contiuu
aacc No. 12 to 15, this from Spring
term 1874 to Fall term 1874.
Again, Dr. R. II. Timberlake, v. s,
A, S. (Jill Adui'r,, from No, 5 to 7,
and from 7 to i.
All this was done under the adminis
tiation of Dr. R. II. Timberlake, the
former clerk. Now we hope that the
Solicitor will examine into the cases
mentioned above, and also any others
that may be on the Docket and have
them corrected.

Being
one ofHhe
delegates to the
ltaleign District Conference which
convened in Oxford N . C, week be
fore last wo availed ourselves of the
pleasure of enjoying the hospitality of
the citizens of that place and had in
tcnuca oeiore tnis. to give a naticeof
our trip. Tho Conference' was a de-
I vivi iiaiubutiir VUB
I -Ministers and Laymen were nil hope-
ful 8,1(1 cheerful, and gave encouiag
m . reports trom their respective
chargos. Tho pulpit ministrations
were exceedingly satisfactory aud suc
cessful. " The Conference was delight
ed with tho presence" of '"several visit
ing hrethrcn from other Church who
contributed, to the interes1. of the oc
casion. - '
AVe hardly know how to express ur
high appreciation of'the hospitality of
the people of Oxford. No people
ever manifested more genuine ho.-pi-tality
aud made a deeper impression
with tieir kindness, than the peopte
of Oxford did upon the members of
that loiiforeucc, The groat conten
tion on leaving, among the delegates,
was as to who had the best home, every
rne bpinf.n;-fil.!:nt Jtrhndthc 7trtf
home of anybody tJiere.
Our association with our bythrcn
ot the Press who reside there, was
pleasant and profitable. The Daily
Torch L-'jht added much to the in
terest of the occasion. The Confer
ence will long remember Oxford.
The next Session of the Conference is
ti be held in Louifbnrg and re
oresati-fied that the citizens of this
place will sustain their reputation for
hospitality heretofore acquired,

special dispatch to xews.
Tarboro, N. C , July 30.
A. McCabe, Esq., an ex-Federal
official, member of the State Senate
in 1872-73, and at present Radical
candieate for 1 Convention from.Edge-
combe, took offense at some strictures
in the Soulliemer of this place of to
day, andattac
son, Editor of
tveu n aitei i. uiiiiaui-
he Soitilterner, to-night
about 8 o'ch ck, when the latter fired
upon him, the ball taking effect in the
head below the right eye. C.
Tnn Cause op the Difficulty.
The following: is the extract in the
Tarboro " Southerner cf Friday last
which occasioned the difficulty be.
tween its Editor. Mr. Williamson,
and McCabe, the Radical carpet-bag
candidate for Convention :
14 White men. of Edgecombe, hold
jour selves in readiness, lue negro
rule that has been so long inflicted
upon you will soon be wiped away.
The party is" disintegrating, fctand in
solid phalanx. You will yet be vic
torious, and virtue aud intelligence
will yet control the civil aflairs ot
the county It is your saered duty to
vote man to mau for Convention and
the delegatesof your party have placed
in nomination. Vote for, them and
enter your solemn protest against
ignorance and rascality, Down with
negro social equality. Despise the
men that belong to the party of Civil
Rights. Drive them from your doors.
Spit upon them in contempt. Treat
them as common criminals, fc'pew
them out of the mouth of society and
never return to them again as a dog
to his vomit. Shame on the white
iiian that insults his race. Mark him
well !"
From the Richmond Wlii.
Tlic Ola ITliiit-Loclc Killc
n elderly man named Beckwith, re
sidiog in one ol tha Peniuaula-countifSj
came to this city last Thursday on bus
iness. He brought with him an old
fashioned flinNlock rifle to have .
siock put on. ua tne cars ne tell in
conversation with three gentlemen ir in
this city,- when oneot them, to test th.
reality of some of the extraordinary
feats of marksmanship he boasted of,
offered $10 to repeat some of them, t
which the other two addtfd $5 between
them. The trial came off in an old
field half a mile below Rocketts, and
was witnessed by a dozen persons.
Tne old flint lock was fired seven
timet, and only once misled its aim.
The old gentleman after makm' two
shots at small objects to one tide, to
gtt his hand steady, as he said, handed
his son a potato and station him at fit ty
yards distance, holding the potato be
tween his thumb and forcfin r. The
rifle cracked, and the potato fell cloven
ia three or four pieces. Ono of the lar
gtr pieces was then thrown io the air,
the marksman keeping at the same dis
tance, and again the shot told. An
inch and a half auger was then pro
duced, aud a hole bored in the fence,
behind which was fastened a piece ot
white paper. At tin distance of sixty
yards the marksman sent a ball clear
through the aperture, piercing the pa
per. At the fourth shot trom GO yards
distance, the bowl of a pipe, which the
son was smoking, was crushed. At
the fifth shot a copper cent wa3 thrown
iu thvi air and hit. Tue sixth and sev
enth shots were delivered at a blacks
ened five-cent nickel piece thrown up
by the son, staading about thirty yards
off At the first attempt the shot
missed. The old gentleman showed
considerable mortificition aud laid the
blame upon a bystander, who at the
critical moment sneezed loudlr. The
next attempt, however, was an entire
success. The old nun declined any
further trial of his skill, and when ct
fered a sum of money to repeat his first
feat of shooting a potato from his
son's hand, he refused, raying be
did'nt care to try such experiments un.
less his weapon was freshty cleaned.
The exhibition was the more remark
able from the jfact that the mirksmaa
was an old man, ar least fifty. IJ13
eye, however, is a clear, bright gray .
His appearance is that of a po'r far-,
mer. The young man showed nn the
least .reraor or aaxoty during the dan
gerous experiments noon hima:-lf.
The old man, referring to his son, said,
'Bod can shoot as well as I can !'
