C i Mi-s Nancy R.-White, wife of Philo Whifk diel at Whitesboro, N. Y.. 29th Nov. lf77, aged 75 years, both foriueily . . l of Salisbury, N. C. Although a native of this town, and a niemberof a once numerous aud highly respected family, she was almost un known to the present inhabitants. She was the daughter of the late William aud Mary Hampton, and sister to Mrs. Mout fortS. McKcnzte, of this county, aud of the late Mrs. John C. Palmer, of Raleigh. She was married to Col. White, of New -York, in the y.ar 1822, with whom she resided hero until about the year 1834, wheu they removed to Raleigh, N. C. Mrs. White has not. since then, been an Inhabitant of Salisbury ; but has made oc casional visits to her family connections And friends,; many of whom still reside in the comity. Her last visit in company with Mr. White was made in the Spring of the present year, and she improved that occasion to visit as many of her relatives and friends as her age and strength would permit. They returned to their home in Whitesboro, X. Y., about the 1st of June. Mrs. White's health commenced failing in the latter part of the summer; aud with variable prospects, running through two or three months, it grew worse as time wore on, until exhausted nature fell asleep fi ' iu death. ! Mrs. White was one of the excellent of the earth. At au early period, she connect -.ed herself with the Presbyterian church in this place, aud her life here, in that rela tion, was characterized by the virtues and graces of the true and earnest Christian , Subsequenty, while living iu Racine, Wis consin, she was virtually driven from the church of her early choice by the aboli tion fanaticism which prevailed amonj: the Presbyterians of that city. She found rest in the conservatism of the Episcopal church, in which connection she coutiuu- fed to the end of her life Blessed with a vigorous intellect, aud a true southern na ture, few surpassed her in discermeut, or in the nice observance of all those deli cate amenities of life which contribute so ' largely to human happiness, But it was not the purpose of the writer to do more than give i brief notice of this highly esteemed aud honored lady, the incidents of whose life, in connection with her distinguished and honored husband, would make a yoiumn of surpassing iu terest. Her life was a blessing to others, . and her end was blessed with the fullness of a hope that she is now enjoying that blissful rest promised to those who die in the Lord. It is the purpose of her now desolate companion to make one' -more pilgi im age to this State, where ha" first .vd ventur ed upon the sea of life, this time, to per form the sad office of committing to the tomb the remains of his tenderly beloved Jife-long companion, They will rest by the side of their only children, Esther, Who died in infancy; and Mary, the wife of the late Gov. John W. Ellis, all whose dut repose in Oak Grove Cemetery of thiscitv. Special Term, It will be seen 4y ref erence to our adrertising columns that we are to have a special term of the Su perior Court held in this place on the 2d Monday in January. It is not yet knowp what. Judge will be appointed to hold it ; but times are better now than tbey used bad man to sit in judgment over us. The Inferior Court of the county meets on thelst Monday in January, and holds one week. Judge Shober and Solicitor Kerr "put things through" on this line in finetyle iu October and will dp jit again. - , ! CONGRESS. The extra, session of Congress gave place to the regular session on Monday hist. A joint committee was appointed to wait on the President and inform . him that the regular session had met and was ready to receive any communication he desired to make. The President responded by sending in his annual message, of which the follow ing is a coudeused report ; ABSTRACT OF THE PRESIDENT S MESSAGE. Washington. Dec. 3. The President congratulates tlie country that it has been blessed with health,-peace and abundant harvests, ami the increasing prospects of the early return to gradual prosixmry. ue complete aud permanent paciueatlou country continues to be and must rciiiiiiii i ue must uiipuiiaub ui mi uui national interests. The measures adopted were most iu harmony with the constitu tion and genius of our neonle. and best adapted under all circumstances to attain the end in view. The benificieut results prove that Uiesc .efforts are not now re garded as mere experiments, and should sustain an d encourage us in our efforts on the silver question. The President holds the ground that both silver and gold ought to be utilized in the currency of the he mt tW wuo wouid undertake to legislate that 90 ri (lO nonta w'uvrli gf dlv'tir chill Tmfta np be receivable, in place of 100 cents worth of gold. The public debt of the country was contracted in the money of the world and with the understanding that it should be naid. principle and interest, in the luoliev of the world. He does not, there- fore favorauy legislation that would force the creditors ot the United tates to re ceive iu payment ot what is due them any .... 1 J ... . .' silver currenev worth less tlian par iu gold. The President declares his be lief in the good policy ot using both pre- cious metals, but he states his opposition to anv proposition that Congress sua! exercise the power given it by the con stitution to coin money and regulate the valuelhereof. The President is iu favor ot making silver a liberal subsidiarv coin with a legal tender limit, somewhat great er than at present, but is not in favor ot making it an unlimited legal tender. In treating of civil service Teform, the Pres ident's message repeats in substance the the opinions expressed in his iuaugura address. 1 liere is not mucli prominence given to the subject. I lie condition o attairs on the luo uramie irontier, as shown by official reports, received by the administratidn, is briefly described, aud the considerations which led to the order to the commanders of the Uuited ' States troops to cross the river when in full pur suit of raiders and punish them onMexi can soil, are recited. While the 1 'resident recognizes the delicacy of the position i , i , . assumed by tne government oy uie issue of tlrat order aud is not unmindful of the tact that it mat lead to serious interna tional complications, he defends it on the ground that in no other Avay could the lives and property of our citizens be pro tected. He disclaims any intention or desire to provoke hostilities with the Mexicau republic. The affairs of the War and Navy and Post Office Departments are 'not treated of at much length in the message. The recommendations of the heads of the departments are generally approved. The discontinuance of the use of the armv for the purpose of upholding local government in two . States of the Union was no less a constitutional duty and requirement under the circumstances existing at the time than it was a much needed measure for the restoration of local self-government and the promotion of national barmouy. The withdrawal of troops from such 'employment was effect ed deliberately, and with solicitous care for the peace and good order ot society and the protection of the property and persons and every right of til classes of citizens, lhe result that followed are indeed encouraging, resulting iu concord, friendship and patriotic attachment to the Union. Ihe-co-operatum ot all classes, races and sections is called upon to aid in handing down the free institutions of the government, unimpaired to the gener ations that will succeed us. After a most auxiouscareful examination, the Presi dent declared himself as more thau ever confirmed in the opinion that he express- ed in his letter of acceptance, and in his inaugural address, that the policy of re sumption should le hurried by every suitable means and that no legislation that would retard or postpone it ought to lie enacted. He believes that any waver ing in purpose, or unsteadiness in meth ods, instead of relieving the country from any of the inconveniences attendant upon ' a return to specie payment, would only aggravate and prolong the distress al ready caused by irredeemable paper cur rency aud end in serious disaster aud dis honor. Tho mischief which would result from any other policy .than the one which will bring speedy resumption would not, he believes, be cou fined to any class of people, although he thinks the industrial in as would suffer more. Secretary Sher mau, iu his report, does not ask for auy additional legislation to enable him to carry the resumption act into effect, and the President, in his message, agrees with the Secretary of the Treasury. Congress wasjavorable to resumption and ready to assist the administration in bringing about specie payment. Some addition al laws would be needed. The Pres ident agrees with the Secretary that resumption can be effected under the pre sent laws by January 1879, and also agrees to flic wisdom of the "policy of not .asking for further legislation. The . Secretary also holds that the resumption act of 1875 does not require the cancellation and de struction of the $300,000,000 of United States notes which remain after the notes of the greenback currenc has been re duced to that point, and that it may be left in-circulation torawnile, being always exchangeable at the sub-treasuries for gold coiir. ' It now seems quite sure that nearly all the persons who were injured by the re cent accident on the Charlotte, Columbia &, Augusta Railroad", or sustained , auy loss or damage to bagage or anything else, will institute suit agaiust the company.

Information was received in the city yesterday that the man, Mooningham, acquitted here4ast Sat urday of the charge of murdering Harry Seawell, came near being drowned ou returning home on Sat urday night. He walked over the Neuse river bridge to the farther end and, the abutment being gone, he stepped off Hito the river. He floated down the river and caught hold of a'tree, where he stayed until Sunday morning 8 o'clock, when he was rescued by a Mr. Liles. Wheu res cued he was completely exhausted aud was lying insensible up to 10 o'clock yes terdav. Hal. Xeics Post Office Robbed. The Post Office at this place was robbed Sunday night, from mail bags to lock box, from ceiling to floor. All the boxes were gone through and relieved of their load of letters. Per haps the heaviest loss sustained was in the robbery of the Sln office box, where letters containing drafts and remittances accumulate daily to an enormous amount. We estimate our loss at about $000.12. Other capitalists around town also lose heavily. The robber or robbers effected an en trance it is supposed, by the window. The post office, as usual was securely locked and bolted oy tne post mistress and no blame can be attached there. No clue to the theft. Concord Sun. Xot Drowned but 2farricd. We ub lished, last week, a report to theeftect that Kinney Cross was drowned while attempting to cross Rocky River, at the same time discrediting the report on ac count of its extreme uuaccountabilitv It is our pleasant duty this week, how ever, to correct ana mourn, instead oi being drowned, it was the happy alterna tive of being married. We wish our friend Cross long years of happy life and domes- tie bliss and may he always have pleasant memories of the night he didn't get drown ed. Ib. Carrying 588 lbs. A Clerk in the em ploy of one of the liberal advertising houses in town, was helping a fellow from Stanly county, Wednesday evening, to load his wagon with salt from the ware house. Salt, you know, is put up in bags weighing 190 lbs The Stanly man soou grew tired of carrying one sack at a time, nronosed to carrv three at one time if some one would put them on his shoulders. 1 A- w Williams (that is his name) is a small, light built man and weighs only 134 lbs The clerk immediately took liim up and proceeded to pile tlte salt on his back When three bags weighiug588 lbs., were safely placed on his shoulders, he put his hands on his knees and walked off to the wagon, about 25 yards, at a 2.40 gait This is an actual occurrence We think it aremarkable test of strength. Concord Sun. A Profitable Sow. Mr. T. L. Beacham. the man that beat the State in prolific corn this year has a Lsow that gave birth to a litter of 13 pigs last week. They were such fiue looking suckers that he concluded to weigh them and found that the 13 pigs weighed 52 pounds averaging 4 pounds each. We should call this a fine prospect for potk uext killing time. Hal. Xews. Judge DicV Letter, The letter of J ndge Dick, which we pub lish to-day will attract general and care- ul attention. Much complaint has ap peared in the newspapers of this State about the Judge and the officers of his Court, and serious charges have been made agaiust the Judge himself, aud we are glad of the opportunity to give him a hearing in his own defeiice, though we are not sure the Judge thought his letter would be published when he was writing it. For one, we have never been able to believe that Judge Dick was a corrupt or bad man and we do not believe so now but we have thought that he neglected to wateh his officers close enough, or admin ister necessary discipline over them ; but that he was honest and meant right we always believed. Charlotte Democrat. The Necessitt of Advertising. A case tried in our Superior Court this week proves the necessity and justice of a law requiring all property sold under execution to be advertised iu some newspaper. The planum claimed mat tne land sold was not properly advertised and therefore sold for less thau its cash value. The defeud- ent asserted that the laud was advertised by posting written notices at certain pub lic places as the present, law requires. Several Legislatures liave been asked to pass a law requiring Sheriffs and all per sons selling land under execution or or ders of Court to advertise the same iu some newspaper, but no such equitable aud iust Act has yet been enacted. The importance of it is seeu in the suit men tioned, and iu various other ways aud in stances. Char. Democrat. Comparative Cotton Statement.

Sir George Airy, the British Astrono mer Royal, has recently published a re port ou the telescopic observations of the transit of Venus of 1874, made by the English expeditions. Fending the ap pearance of the deductions to be made from the complete measuring of the pho tographs, the result reached must be re garded as provisional only. Tho mean solace parallax determined is 8.7G4", and this is one tenth ofa second less thau has been given by the most reliable previous investigations upou different principles. From Professor Newcomb's calculations, now adopted in most of our ephemerides and based on observations of Mars, the lunar equation of the earth, the parallac tic inequality of the moon, the transit of Venus of 1709, besides Foucault's experi ments ou light, it appears that the mean distance of the earth from the suu is 92,- 393,000 miles. According to Sir George rViry's determination this distance must now be considered as increased to 93, 321,000 miles. For the purposes of comparison and also to correct some errors whicn were resent iu our recent article on "how our worlds looks from the other -worlds,"' which we translated from the French of M. Flammarion, the well known astrono- uier, we append t lie ionowing statement of correct distances of the planets from the sun. Mercury, average mean dis tance, 35,31)2,000 miles; Venus, 00,134,- 000 miles; Earth, 93,32 1,000 miles ; Mars, 139,31 1,000 miles; Jupiter, 475,092,000 miles ; Saturn, 872,137,000 miles; Uran- us, i,7o3,e.iy,umi nines ; and Aeptune, 2,745,998,000. As regards the fixed stars, the distance of a Ccutauri, probably the nearest, is about twenty billions of miles, and light occupies about 3i years in trav eling from that star to thejearth. Scientijic American. A Revolutionary Relic Maj. Ed. Goelet, a grandson of the distinguished North Carolinian for whom Buncombe county is named, lias shown us the origi nal of a letter written by Col. Edward Buucombe to Gen. Washington in 1777, just after he was captured at the battle of Gennautown,.nnd just before his death from wounds received in that battle. Edward Buucombe W& colonel of the 5th regiment of the NorUi Carolina line, in the Continental arniyj was severely wounded at the buttle of German town, (near Philadelphia) on the nioruiug of October the 4, 177; was taken prisoner by the British, and died from the effects of his wounds soou after.
