The battle has been fought and the victory won. All the great principles have triumphed for iwhich I, iu my humble way, have battled for nearly eight years )n; common with the true men of the State. Iloldon is no - longer in the Exeuativt; Chair. Swepson is no longer manager oi the finances of North Carolina and master of the Legisr iatuijB thereof.

I do not re gret my eai for the truth, but to regret tliat I have not been able to strike heavier Jlovs in its behalf. THE STRIKERS WAR. This rumbling of communism having extended itself throughput the great rail road centres, like a blind, raging demon of destruction, has at last about spent its Jbrce anJ di omen turn. To the lovers of peace and justice the question naturally arisesWhy all this, and jvho is to J)lamet Many vain guesses have been sent forth at times from, the frail ark of man's unr aided reason, Spme attribute it to the retrenching policy of the administration. ome to the concentration of wealth in - the ljands of the few, while poverty is the sad fate of the many, Ofh ers (which seems to, be fle direct cause) lay the blame on purse proud arrogance oppressing the laboring masses by a con tinued reduction of wages. That prpper jconfiilence which shou!4 exist between man and man is destroyed- as a conse quence of the "hnge drunk'1 of war and speculation. Strange that this hardness of times and want of employment should jjxist in a country whose granaries are bursting with plenty and whose coffers nre horded with idle millions. The heart pf a sympathizing publio beats responsive to that of honest toil when oppressed or suffering. While re duction of wages is an object to be much deplored, yet it is quite evident that the . steps taken, by the strikers to rectify these grievances can only be looked upon with indignation. Sympathy, for oppressed labor is not sympathy for rioters or out laws. It is? no longer a blow struck for justice. Pure water does not come from a foul stream, legal tender from a sus pended bank; 'nor-can any good come from communism, and its consequences kiot akd BLOODsnED. Many apparently cwell threaded arguments defendiug com munism have been given, but the good cit izens knows that j "No norld prose or honored lies of rhyme -Jan blazon evil deeds or coasccrate a crime.'' , Society luis received a shock during the past weeks that w ill reverberate through put the land for many days.. Cqnjniuijism is but the frantic revels of brutal i:no ranee and vagabondism associated with the cry pf hate and envy against the in dustrious, and more fortunate in life. When this much dreaded fiend comes into the play the controversy is no longer be tween capital and labor, but anarchy tak ing avnjs against tlo dignity of the late. What ahaccanalean feast to thieves, 'plug Uglys," tramps, and the scum of society are these occasional outbursts- oT com munism. , Society is a vast machinery of wheels acting on on tlie other. Law is Jhe great driver wheel, and without tire olof peace all works harshly and reciprocally wear. ing the driver. The proper replepjshing of this cruse if oil U necessary for the dignity 6f the nation the bread and wages of the poor, the ease and papital of the rich, the security of the cot as well gs the mansion.

PENNSYLVANIA. Tlircatening Attitude of. the Miners at ScrautQH Every Industry Stopped and 30,000 Men Idle. Special telegram to tie Dispatch. x Philadelphia j Pa., July 27. -The worst feature of the present situation in Pennsylvania is the threatening atti tude of the miners at Scranton. Them is a panic and dread in that city and vicin ity.. There are 30,000 jdle men, with blast furnaces chilled, rolling-mills idle, railroads stopped, and mines flooding fast, so that should the present idleness prevail a week it would take six months to place the mines and rolling-mills in I working wder once more. Hi no part of the United States has the strike worked such disaster, and nowhere are the consequences so threatening. It has been noticed that the men are very orderly. They have had everything their own way so far- They have -stopped every industry, and the railroad strikers have stopped everything but the mail car. This morning even the mail failed to make its regular trip, the company re fusing to run it unless a passenger train was also permitted. The Lehigh & Susquehanna road is on a strike, and Scrauton is completely cut off from communication with New i York and Philadelphia. Idleness reigns su preme and the climax is awaited with fear and trembling. It is feared that when it cornea the resolution in favor of law and orders-will speedily be trampled upon by hungry hundreds. Several hundred miners gathered to day at Oregou woods, near Pittston, for the purpose of taking some action in re gard o the strike of the railroad men. The sentiment of the miners was in favor of a strike at once, but on account of there beiqg but a small number of the Pennsyl vania Coal Company, men at the meet ing, and the others not caring to strike i i ?less joined by the men of that Company , further 'action was not taken. The table of lip is abu ndan tly.'supplied. If we dou't eat so fast, it will taste the better ; weshall be ; better nouiislied; if we don't snatch, there win be enonjrh for all" - 1 -r, a, .imff .

The other night, while two young men were visiting some ladies a colored girl ran into the house saying that one of the other women had been bitten . by . a snake. Our yonng friends were called on for assistance They ran out and fquud that the woman had been bitten on the leg just above the Jiukle. One of the young men, the first letter of whose name is "James," took the case iu charge ordered a string to be tied tightly above the bite, and then made the woman driok about three pints, more or less, of fermented corn cider, without sweetuing, and sent off for a doctor. All anxiously awaited his arrival to hear his opinion. He came, examined, and report ed in solemn words: She is not bitten, but gloriously drunk. o -Jjibrary. We hear some complaint on the part of the members of the Library Association. They want lighter reading. They don't care for such reading as that now in the library. That may suit some, but the majority of the members are young, or comparatively so, and they want good leading, but not too'heavy. We believe that if a certain class of reading was plac ed in the library that the membership would be thriblcd in a short time, aud we hope those in charge will consider this piont.

The crop prospects of this county are rather above an average with the excep- tion of oats, vjdeh, as ia a large portion of the State, came in short. Ihe wheat ; crop is large and the grain fine ; indeed, this county, with portions of Cabarrus, rather excells in the quality of its wheat, owing, no doubt, to some peculiar natur- j al adaptation of sou. Corn is generally looking well, and with ono or two more good showers will be more abundant than for several years passed. There is but little cottou raise in the tipper aud middle portions of the county, but that little is looking weU. Most of the land is given up to the cereals and smaller crops, com prising articles necessary for the support of man and beasts. The prospect on the whole is cheering, and will prove a great relief to the people who have felt the pres sure of the "hard times" in money mat ters, if not so severely as in other portions of the State, yet quite severely enough. But few have as yet been driven to mort gaging farm stock and growing crops, and fewer still to pledging their lauds for means to carry on their farm work. Mer cantile "farm running" is almost un known here, and is not likely to result in distressing any considerable portion of the tanning community. Albemarle is of slow growth so far as buildings and increase of population are concerned. Her dry goods merchants, five in number, have accurately estimated the requirements of the community they serve, and conduct their business within the just limits of. the local capacity of thecouutry. They wake no desperate adventures, but do a safe, moderate business. One con fectionery store meets all demands in that line. Ono carriage and two black-smith shops ; a large steam mill by Messrs. E. Mauney iiiid Jas. Gill, sawing lumber, carding wool, ginning cotton, &c.,. meet & public demand in these lines. There are two good Hotels at this place. Both old and well established. Mrs. Hearne keeps up the House over which her husband, the late Eben Ifearne, presided so long aud with so much credit to himself and accep tability of the public. Joseph Marshall still keeps the Central Hotel, and deserv edly stands high in ail the qualities re quired to make up a fitness for this, one ot the most difficult, delicate, and labon ous stations of "public service. By -the- way, it is reported that he is entertainine the idea of removing to Salisbury, aud if ne snouiu so determine it will be a valu able acquisition to the town. Two grog shops must be added to the list of busi ness places, which are quite sufficient to "make things lively." But we have seen no disorder here nor heard any. - Youur men crather in the sultry afternoons under the sluxdc of the oaks which adorn the public sqqaro and piay maroics, pucn quois, talk politics, read newspapers, &c.. in a free and 8cial twar.!.xjuii'ioruinarlrjf avoid; rowdviami enough for alLjriji,, the :ecle . and the. contrary : the icnt-piiou, i.i conurmaunn ot wnicu tnere -. i " . - ' r is iot a prisoner in the cpqnty jail, 5 and the voice of song in theereniogs rise above all other sounds, sweet and touching, the last, thing heard before! tlie town sinks to rest in sleeo.

Among them is David Rumage. Daniel Freeman, Eben Hearue. ana liana Misn l ney were men who crave toiio to the soif it of the people, and. have' left behind influences which will be felt long after their names shall have become obscured by time. Among those of that class who still remain, we may mention J. O. Ross, Jos. Marshall, James Hearne, S. J. Pemberton, Esq., A. C. Freeman jf'J.'S. Atkins, "and far from least, the venerable David Kendall, now in his 85th year, emaciated in body but , with an intellect as bright and vigorous as it was 20 years ago. Some of these gentlemen may object to this classification inasmuch as they still dye their whiskers And sly their spectacles, but they must just now, for .manners sake, submit to what "the neighbors say." INCIDENTS OF THE PAST WEEK. DEATH BY LIGHTNIXQ. Miss CatHarink Efird was instantly killed by Ughtning near Albemarle, Stanly county, on tao afternoon of the 26th July. She had been out with her brother ploughing corn, when a small cloud came over ani commenced rain ing. They unhitched their horses and started to the house. But Miss Catharine stopped on the way un der a trash to shelter from the rain, while her broth er passed on. When he had gone some nifty yards beyond her the flash came with a loud report. He looked back and saw his sister and the horse she i held by the bridle, prostrate on the ground He ran to the place and found them dead. No efforts coul t restore lite, and with a heart full of anguish he lied to preadthe sad news. Miss Ekiro (in her 2lst year) was the picture of health, and was highly esteemed by all who knew her for her cheerful pleasant manners and virtuous life. A LOST FOOT. In the same xicinlty, July2lRt, Mr. Tillman Harwakd had his foot caught in the horse-power of a threshing machine, and so dread, fully crushed as to render amputation the only pos sible reUef. The operation was performed by Dr. Rich. Anderson of Albemarle, assisted by Dr. R. A. Anderson of Big Lick. The foot was taken off above the anile. The patient was doing well on the 28th. 13. THE BLACK FLY IN THE ADIRON DACK. There is such an insect as the black fly in the Adirondack. He is a quiet, or derly little fellow, a hard worker, who goes steadily about his business, and earns his living by constant application. There is much to admire in this little insect. In the first place, he is industrious ; he is also a generous liver r he is orderly in his hab its ; he goes to bed regularly at sunset aud arises regularly at suurise. We think that he is a little more regular in getting up than he is in going to bed. He is also friendly to man. He will cleave to you closer than a brother. The constancy of his affection is remarkable. Once hav ing formed an attachment he never deserts you, but clings to you until death do you part. He is not by any means a gour mand. He lias a taste, and discriminates. iji3 favorite feeding "spot is just back of K. , (1,f,in,, : Mio nf cc;tl. ha is satisfied with the nose. He likes a large nose, and wo have never seen one so small that he could not make it larger in less than two da3"S. We saw a nose the man who owned it said it was that was so enlarged that the gentleman expressed grave doubts as to his ever being able to take it home with him. We are inclined to think that he succeeded, for when we came out we heard of that nose until wo reach Martins, where we told it took the stage for Plattsburg. 'But to sober statement. The black rly is not a very troublesome insect. It or dinarily disappears the first week in July. In wet seasons it tarries a week or two longer. Care in selecting your camp ground, a piece of fine muslin three yards square to hang in front of your lodge, and a bottle of tar aud oil for emergencies, give iruple protection not only .from black flies, but from the mosquito and gnat, which are, we think, far worse. It is the unanimous voice of our family that we have suffered more from mosquitos iii Connecticut and Massachusetts, yes, and in the city of Boston even, than we have in the Adiron- dacks. With the precautions that we have suggested, and the exercise of a mod erate amount of ingenuity, a party will not be greatly troubled. Golden Bule. TELEGRAPHIC BRIEFS.
