FROM xr.MORIAL ADDRESS
AT "WII-VrXG-
TON OF MR. n. A. DOi;OOX OF
PITTSBCRO.
"While as Southerners we are justly
proud of all Confederate soldiers, yet
as citizens of this State we have a
peculiar pride in the soldiers from
North Carolina. No State in the
Southern Confederacy did its duty
more faithfully than North Carolina,
and no soldiers in the Coniederate
army fought more bravely or "suffered ;
more heavily than did the troops from i
the H)ld North fetate. Without wish
ing to draw invidious comparisons or
detract anything from the glory won
h
ay all Confederate soldiers, yet upon
this occasion I must be pardoned for
tins
briefly calling particular attention to
some of the exploits of North Carolina's I
soldiers.
At the ljeuinniiiir or the
war
the white population of North
; Carolina was only 630.942, and yet she
furnished to the Confederate army
nearly 125.000 soldiers. In other
j words, one-fifth of North Carolina's en
! tire white population was in the Con
federate army X The total number of
r soldiers in the Confederate armv was
nbout qQOO ,so then, North Carolina
furn;shed oe-fifth of all the troops
tka,liaitf1wi fu rki.rP m-mr-
North Carolina's troops consisted of CO
rojjinients of infantry. 7 of cavalrv, 3
of artillery, and 0 battalion.- of infantry,
7. of cavalry and 4 of artillery. While
we refer with pritie to the large num
ber of troops furnished by our State,
we recall with still greater pride their
unsurpassed valor aud heroism. Always
placed at tlie post of greatest danger
iik' the front in every assault and pro
tecting the rear in every retreat the
soldiers of North Carolina on every
battle-field immortalized themselves and
their State. In the first battle of the
war at Big Bethel, on the 10th f
June, 1861 North Carolina troops
under D. H. Hill gallantly repulsed the
Federal troops under Beast Butler; and
on the historic hiils at Appomattox, on
the 0th of April, 1SG5, North Carolina
troops under the gallant Grimes were
the foremost in the last charge and
fired the last volley. In every battle
fought and victory won by the glori
ous old Army of Northern Virginia,
North Carolina soldiers were the
heaviest sufferers. In the seven days
battle nrofiiid Ilichniond, in the sum
mer of 18t2, there were 92 Confederate
regiments, and 40 of them were from
North Carolina, and more than half of
the total killed and wounded were our
brave North Carolinians. At Chan ce!
lorsville, in Mav. 1803, there were ten
North Carolina brigades, and of all the
Confederates there-killed or wounded,
one-half we from North Carolina.
On -the fatal field of Gettysburg North
Carnlitiit bail 38 nwiinpffffs nnd 2 h:it-
t ilions, and the dead Confederates 1
found farthest in the Federal lines oh
Cemetery ridge were North Carolinians.
At Beams fetation, in August, 1804.
after the first efforts of the Con feder
ates to dislodge the enemy had failed,
the three North Carolina brigades of
Cooke, McRae and Lane consisting of
only 1750 men were. orce:ed to the
charge, and so successful were they that
they not only routed the encmv but
captured 2,100 prisoners. At Spctt-
sylvania in Mav. 1864. "Ramsenr s bri-
ade immortalized itself by a charge.
for which General Lee in person thank
ed them, telling them that "they de
served the thanks of the country they
had saved his army' During the
whole war no body of troops suffered
more heavily in any one engagement
than did the 5th regiment at Williams
burg, the 4th regiment at Seven Pines,
the ord regimeut at Sharpsbarg, the
26rh regiment at Gettysburg' find the
27th regiment at Bristoe Station. At
Williamsburg, on the 5th of Ma v, 1802,
the Fifth -North Carolina regiment,
whose colonel was your distinguished
townsman Duncan K. McRae lost
in killed wounded and missing 197 out
of 240. At Seven Pines, on the 31st
of May, 1802, the 4th regiment, com
manded bv the "bravest of the brave
Bryan wriraes went into battle with
25 officers and 520 non-commissioned
officers and privates, and of that num
ber every officer, except one, aud 4(12
men were either killed or wounded. At
Sh irpsburg, on the 17tb of September,
1802. the glorious old Ihird Regiment
of which .Wilmington is so ju.-a.r
proud went iii with 520, an llo4 33
mostly in the short space of an boor
nnda'half. Out of its 27 officers, 24
were killed .or wounded, among the hit
ter being its gallant commander, Co.
W. L. DeRosset. In the first day's
fight at Gettysburg the Twenty-Sixth
Regiment lost 549 men out of 800, in
cluding its youthful Colonel the gal
lant Harry K. Bnrgwyn. In this regi
ment were two companies .from Chat ham
county, which went into that bajttle
with 105 men and lost 157. Wedoibt
if there was such a loss in any oilier
companies in any battle of the war.
At Urisloe Station, on the 13tlr of
October, 1803, the two North Carolina
brigades of Cook and Ktrkland made
one of the bloodiest charges of ihe
whole war one regiment alone (the
Twenty-Seventh) in less than half an
hour losing 201 out of -120. I could

Congressmen's Banksra.
The office o tlieSergeant-at-Arms is
to le moved to tne opposite corrider of
the House chamber, and it will be
amusing next winter, says a Vadunifr-
ton letter to tne New lorU Sun, to
watch absent minded statesmen going
from force f-tf! habit,, to the former
financial reservoir. Congressmen are
peculiar in the.r money transactions.
Few are accurate in business. In ad
dition to thoughtless expenditures that
drag many into debt, one of the most
anuisingieatnres of their procedure is
the failures to keep track Of the cents
in the cheek they draw. For instance,
one of he leaders left the-lust Congress
just twety-three cents over-druwn.
He is re-ejeeted, and nobody will suffer
THM'Hfte'eTW J-ft hap
pened in a very simple and, among Con
gresHen, in a very common manner.
The statesman had previously drawn a
draft for 25.23, and, in computing his
balance drew on his memory for it $25
draft only.
The Sergeantiat-Arms is now the
general banker for nearly all the mem
bers. A few years ago many kept sep
erate accounts in the down-town bank
ing institutions, but now nearly all the
financial transactions of members are
conducted at the Capitol, .and opera
tions of exchange and deposit extend
ing beyond mere salary accounts, are
permitted There are a cashier teller,
bookkeeper, and a huge safe behind the
wire screen protected counter. Outside
is a desk and a collection of checks. A
messenger brings almost daily from the
Treasury, in a satchel, the amount of
money considered necessary for the
probable demands. The hills thus
drawn are always fresh and crisp, and
the teller, a young man from Tennessee,
has establi.)ied a reputation for his
ability to snap each bill as it leaves his
hand so that the crack of a whip does
not exceed the noise. This process not
only prevents bills from sticking to
gether, but it adds an- exhiliaration to
the Congressional performance of draw
ing money.
The majority of Congressmen draw
their salaries entire during each month,
small sums at frequent intervals with
lump amounts when rent and board
bills become due. Some who have
means ' "distinct from their official
stipend allow their salaries to accumu
late for several months, but not longer.
The largest draft ever drawn within re
cent recollection was by ex-Congressman
Fredericks of Iowa for j 81 1,000.
He was seated at the close of a Con
gress and drew his two years' salary,
and a'.so his mileage and stationary ac
count4. The smaller checks used to
emanate from James Bel ford of Colo
rado, poetically know then sis "Red
headed Rooster of the Rockies." He
would draw checks for $2 several times
each day. General George A. Sheridan;
of New York, the lecturer, drew a
check for $10,000 when he served the
last thirteen hours of a Congress as a
Representative from Louisiana, but he
paid ex-Senator Jones of Florida and
Detroit $7,500as conusel fees in the
contest.
A few of the members draw their
month's s :1 iry in one check, and during
thy last session the knowledge of th s
habit aided in preventing two attempts
to forge the names of Congressmen
Long, of Massachusetts and Houk, of
Tennessee. In the former case the de
tection was easy. In the latter the
swindler played a combination game
and succeeded in securing the cash, but
not at thcCapitol.
The stationary allowance of Con
gresmen of $125 annually is considered
by many a proper matter to commute
into cash.w When new members come
in, their attention to constituents usu
ally involve the expenditure of their
full allowance for stationary, but when
more experienced the commutations are
made into jewelry, opera glasses, and
all imaginable articles, which are pur
chased by the Clerk under instructions,
but in the last session, in case of Con
gressman defeated for re-election, the
drafts upon his stationary account are
very limited, and upon his final March
4 he draws in c;ish nearly the whole
amount.
Mileage is allowed members at the
rate of twenty cents per mile each
way. This was established by the
statute of 1806, changed by the salary
grab acts, and restored by the repeal of
the latter law. It is a current error
that Delegate Voorhees of Washinton
Territory has drawn the lagrest sum
for mileage. The largest amounts in
recent .years was allowed ex-Delegate
Oury of Arizona in the Forty-eighth
Congress, and his successor, Mr. Bean,
$1 ,600, "exactly representing 4,000 miles
at forty ecu's it mile one way. he
committee allows the mileage claims
upon the .written statement ot members
signed, but the truth not attested.
There has been no instance of a dis-
pare
of the; correctness of these claims.
The lowest mileage in the Fiftieth
Congress will probably be that of
Runny Lee, who can charge about
$300 for coming up from Alexandria,
Va., on u ferryboat, on which a round
trip ticket costs fii'i ecu cents. In the
Forty-ninth Congress Mr. Barbour of
Virginia reported the shortest trip,
eight miieW and drew 3,20. Mr.
CoraptoM, of Marvland was next, eigh
teen miles, or 7 20. Mr Vcoraees of
Washington Territory drew $1,165 instead-
of the $2,500 which several
writers of Congressional fiction have as
sumed to be his mileage. His amount
was exceeded by all the California mem
bers and by two Territorial delegate
A Long Thread and a Short One.
There was once a tailor who
beautiful daughter. All the

a
young
men from far and near came to visit
her because ofher beantj. Two rivals
sought her one "day, aiisaul : r
uit is on your acconnt that We have
come hither." - .
'What do you want of me? she fe
plied smiling.
"We love you,"; rtnrnedthe two
young meii. "and each of-us Ivyish to
marry you." ; .
The maiden beinjaf well, broiht up,
called her father, who listened' to. the
two lovers, and then said; ' ,
"It is late; go home now.but ebme
again to-morrow , and you shall then
know which of you may have my
daughter."
At daybreak the next morning the
IjWo young men returned. "Here we
arevHhey cried to the tailor; "remember
what you promised yesterday."
Wait a little," he replied: "I am
going to town to buy a piece of cloth ;
when I return home with it you shall
learn what I shall expect from yon."
When the tailor returned from town
he called his daughter, and on her ap
pearance, he said to the young men :
"My children, there are two of you
and I have but one daughter. To whom
shall I give her? Who shall I refuse?
Behold this piece of cloth; I will cut
from it two suits of clothes exactly alike;
each one of you must sew one of them
he -who finishes his task first shall have
my daughter.'
Each of the rivals took his task aud
prepared to set about it. The father
called his daughter and said to her:
"Here is the thread, make it ready for
the two workers."
The maiden obeyed her father, and
taking the bundle of thread, seated her
self near the young men.
But she was as clever as she was
beautiful; though her father did not
know which of the two she loved, nor
the young men themselves; she knew
well enough. The tailor went away,
the maiden prepared the thread, the
young men took Hjeir neodles and
began to sew. To -tlre-one-she loved,
the beauty gave short needlefuls, but
to the one she did not love she g tve
leng needlefuls. They sewed and sew
ed in eager haste; sit eleven o'clock the
work was not half done, vJjnt at three
the young man who had short needlefuls
had completed his t;isk, while the other
had yet much to do.
When the tailor returned, the con
queror brought to him the completed
suit, while his rival still sat sewing.
"My children," said the father, "1
did not wish to favor one more t han the
other, that was why I divided the cloth
iii two equal parts and told you, 'He
who finished his task first shall have my
daughter.1 Did you understand me?"
"Father," replied the two young men.
we understand you, and have accepted
the test. What must be, must.
The tailor had reasoned thus: "He
who finishes first will l.e the most skill
ful workman, nnd consequently better
able to support a wife," but he had
never imagined that his daughter
would give long need'efuls to a man
she did not wish to m irry. Cleverness
carried the day, and the maiden really
chose her own hus'.an b F. o n the

Causej of Typioid Fever.
The most important lesson to le
learned by the public in reference to
typhoid fever is that it is a "filth disease"
not sometimes, not generally, but
always. And perhaps the next in im
portance is that while ! he proJuction of
the disease probably requires that the
morbific agent shall be brought into
contact with the alimentary mucous
membrane,. as in food or drink it is pos
sible for the salivary fluids in the mouth
and throat to absorb the poison from
the atmosphere and thus become the
medium of its transmission to the
stomach. There is also a third lesson
of no less value to us, via: That various
articles of food, and especially milk,
water and other fluid foods, possess the
same property of absorbing the fever
poison from the atmosphere and thus
becoming the vehicles of its introduc
tion into the system.
Food stored in pantries and kitchens,
absorbing the poison from neighboring
drains and vaults is the explanation of
nearly all the so-called "sporadic" cases
of true typhoid fever. In a large pro
portion of cases it will be discovered on
examination that odorous emanations
from kitchen drains, but more frequent
ly from privy vaults, are easily percep
tible to the senses iu the rooms where
food is stored and where it is being
prepared for the table. In most of the
observations I have made on this sub
ject, it has appeared to be the vault
rather than the drain that has been
responsible for the evil. Annals of

Another Capital Conviction.
Albert Tabor, the negro who at
tempted to assault Dr. Booth's wife, at
Oxford, several weeks ago, and on
whose account it is supposed that a rel
ative set fire to the town and burned
property worthy more than St 00,000,
was on Monday last convicted of bur
glary and attempted assault .and sen
tenced to be hanged on June 10.
There is a probability that Tabor will
not live to meet death by a legal hang
ing. The citizens are much excited
over the assault, and the negroes are
equally wrought up over the sentence
of d.'utli, and an outbreak is not im
probable. If the citizens attempt to
lynch Tabor, the negroes are likely to
burn the town. The circumstances of
the assault 'as told in court were as
follows :
Tabor forced an entrance into the
house of Dr. llooth in the night time.
and personating Dr. Booth, who was
away on a professional visit, the negro
attempted to assault Mrs. Booth. She
detected him. and in her efforts to es
cape sprang through a window of the
second storv. Tabor was captured and
lodged in Oxford jail. There were
threats of lynching, and the negroes of
the town hearing of thee threats de
clared that if Tabor was lynched they
would burn the town. Tabor ws
brought to II ileigh for safe-keeping,
but the impression was current among
the negroes that he was taken away to
be killed. The Oxford negroes carried
out their threat and fired the town.
The los was very heavy. On Saturday
Tabor was carried back to Oxford and
tried for his life for the burglary and
attempted assault.
The remarkable feature of the trial
wits that the jury was composed of ten
negroes and two white men. Tab r
w;:s convicted, and the sentence that he
should be hanged was immediately pro
nounced by the Judge.
We regret to learn that the white
people contemplate further unlawful
proceedings by way of inflicting upon
the great criminal the penalty pro
nounced upon him by an impartial
court. One crime liegets another, and
we hope the white people will not give
the negroes a poor excuse for further
crime on thir part. Greensboro Xetca.

be made very clear that the American
vessels nave for many years' past taken
advantage of the immunity enjoyefi by
them from the Customs regulations
binding upon ordinary craft, to flo a
vast deal of smuggling in a quiet '''Way,
supplying the seaside inhabitants of
the maritime Provinces with Yankee
notions and the like, to the serious
detriment of more legitimate traders.
It is to stop this illegal traffic, as much
,as for any other reason, that Ameri
can craft are now required to report to
the Collector immediately npon enter

conform to the laws of the land.1 F.
