Mr. Corbett.—Wc tleeply re gret to learn that Rev. -Mr. Corbett, who lia.s On-the pa.'^t several yeai-s liiled with so much pious earuesfues.s and dvA’otlon to his Master’s service, the pastoiMl" of the Pre.sbyterian churcli in tliis place, lias accepted a cad in South Carolina, and has gone tlience- • Those wiio knew Mr. C. most inti mately always spi-ak of him a.s “one of the A'cry best men in the world,” the best compliment -which can be jiaid any one. He is truly a devotc.al pastor, a sincere Christian, a true citizen-o!ic Avho i.s Avoitliy his high call-iiig. His es timable famll}’- AA’ill be an addition to anj’ society, and wliilewc regret ciremn- stances Avhich take him and them from our midst, avo as sinecu’cly commend them to tlie warnie.^t considerations of tlio.se among wliom they will east tiicir lot. 'i'he wishes, and prayers, of a whole couminnity go with them. Do« Meat FOR the Animals.—Old John Robin.«on's Mammoth Circus and Menagerie will be in Alorganton on tiie 31st and Marion on tlie 3utli In.st ilai- ly Knapp, his advance agent, requests the .S/acie to say “he will p;iy the I'ol- lowing prices for dog meat for the lioii.s and tigers: For ‘yaller' dogs, brimPe biting dogs, and bench-legged ficc he will pay 8 cents per pound ; for hoimd.-i, pointers and other canine species lie wilt pay 5 cents ; will pay a cent mori.' jicr pound if the dogs are killed' and skinned. The owner liad licltcr adopt this plan as they can save the hide and tallow. Old tlolin came A’ei'V near los ing his lions and tigeu’s for want of dog meat at Hickory and Marion last sea son. We hope' iliat (hu- citizens wlio are | so Avell supplied with dog<, aviH not al low the animals to sutler.’- A goml busine.ss will doubtless be done in this line, as we learn some en terprising men jiropose going into it.

Honesty, Constitutional Law, Union and Peace I IXDIANA, OHIO AXn WEST VIR- GIXiA PROCLAIM A NATION AL INDEPENDENCE! 35,000 Iflnjftrlty for Xr.h Vance. With unfeigned thanks to an overkind Providence we announce the .«ucces3 of the democratic par ty in Indiana and Ohio, host Tues day. By a postal from our good iriend B. F. Rogers Esq., of Salis bury, under date of 11th inst., P. M,, we learn : “Indiana has gone democratic by from 7,000 to 9,000 majority. Ohio by 2,000. This is the latest I am able to get." We have every reason to believe this about true. The first dispatches gave Ohio to the republicans, but claimed Indiana by a small majority ; but after 24 hours canvassing of re turns, both Slates are conceded as above. This finishes Mr. Hayes, and virtually makes Mr. Tilden the next President. Instead of Vance carrying North Carolina by from o,0(X) to 8,{X)0, he will unques- tionabiy go above 15,000 to 20,000 majority, possibly higher. The North appearing to be rather 'sol id’ for reform, cheaper governmeni, and less rascality, vdll doubtless satisfy the South even more than we expected, for South Carolina may be put down, reasonably, for democracy and honest intelligent government. Our National table stands about thus: Democratic Alabama 10 Arkansas 0 California 6 Connecticut DelaAvare Florida (Georgia Indiana Kentucky 1^ Louisiana 8 Maryland — Missouri Mississippi 8 New Jersey 9 Ncav York 33 North Carolina lO Ohio 22 Oregon 3 Tennessee ..... 12 Texss 8 Virginia ...T... .... 11 West Virginia 5 Total : 218 To which may be added, Penn sylvania 29, New Hampshire 5, Wisconsin 10. Rut with tiicsu and and Ohio and Oregon all against us, still leaves Mr. Tilden ahead by 10 votes. There can be no defeat noAv. We about hold our oavii in mim her for Congressij,ia Indiana and Ohio. West Virginia is democratic by from 8000 to 10,000. Tlie legisla ture two thirds ditto. 'I'hia gives us two U. 8. Senators next winter. Zer Vance— A Letter from Rev. ! ThomasLTRADLEY.—Under the head’ oflL nor to Whom Honor is Due, Eidci- Stradley fnrnislies us the folloAving j which gives some insight into the pri-! vate nature and impulses of that mau ^ who to-day is foiemost among all the i great men North Carolina possesses. i And this is the keynote of tlie great! and undying loA’e felt for Gov. Vance; bj' the, people in the commoner Avalksof life—his heart Avas always in liis liand ; to the liumhle surturing and needy ofj liis fellow creatures, yet radicals and rad icalism would have it appear that Zeb. j Vance Avas not only wanting in states- j m.'iiiship, Init they exi-rt them-elvvs lo ! proclaim him a brute iiiseiisible to any } of tlie noble.r instincts and iinfiulses j wlncli should characterize any Iionest man. This lette.r of Father Stradley gives the lie to all such insinuatiou'i. To the letter: MeJisrs Editors: In iny boyhood En gland Avas thrilled Avifh an ectio from the brave heart and dying lips of Lord Nelson, perliaps the noblest admiral History ever cln-oriicled- Going into an aAvfiil naval engagement, lie ci’ied out, 'I'o-day England expeetseach man to do his duty.” ’I’liey Ibitghr heroically. Lord Nelson fell amid the terrible, ca.- nage, but his elforts saved tlie lleet and gained the victory- Messr.s. Editors, can you or I or any lover of our country say we arc not sai^ iug amid quicksands. Avliiripoois and breakers on every liand? W(‘ecrlainl',- are, we must tack about, put good men to the jiumj) Avise men to ilie lieim. m- the Ship of State must- gt/ down. Ls; the land lie rhi-illed Avirh tlie glad slioin. “Every .\n)<;riean has done his Duty. ” Many may ask what is my duty ?— The ansAver is, to exalt gtiod. hoiie-i num. Many Avonld magnify measure- i-ather tlian men, but good men eaiym: stoop to mean mea-siires. Some will (e me I cannot tiiuJ a man to till my meas ure- I.et him heed tlie old adage, ••'..'i all evils choose the liaist,’’ ami again an other adage, “Better deal with one yon know, than with one you doiiot know,* .Messrs, Editors wiio does iiot ki; i ■ Zeb. Vance, in Nortli C.aroHna.-' A liui i Died in tiery times, standing tlie re.-; from the lirstto the end of the war, i every station the peo|) t'and thesoldim. wished him to lill, Aviih spotless iiiDa.- rity. Jtnt many aae trying to hurl him from universal esleem by low, degradiiigit false ciiarges. But, sirs, if yon enter an oreliani as a .stranger and desire goo^i fruit look for clubs, riicks an-l hi'ici\- bafs around the tree, asiire sign o' goou fruit—people don't waste amiiiiniititm on ei’ahs- I liave known Ex-Gov. Vance from a chilli, and his woriliy jilonsfather wlu*se laws and counsels lie has obeyed, ami whose example lie has followed. Zeb. spent his yodthfid days in our midsl with A’ery pleasant demeanor. We tliouglit him a lad of promise, and are pleased in tracing tlie career ofliis riper years. 1 am rebuked in my feeble eu- iogy by the. thoughts thatsirely liispnb- lic life is so well known that every lov er of patriotism is posted aiready. I saAV him in defence of his country oiler up Ills life for what he and tlioii- saml.s considered they were called, by lionor, duty and patriotism, to do. 1 -saw liiin leave the scenes ot friendsliip, the bliss of liome, the lilHs of his nativ ity, to protect us’ as lie tlionglif, in our hard-earned happy homes. .4t the liead of his eompain'- he left his all behind. He did not ca,mp with them the lirst night, hut overtook them early the next morning. As soon as the linzza which greeted him died away, he said. “Boys, 1 liave fouglit my hard est battle- I'liave parted w ith my wife,” Oh tliink all for country ! Ill that coini>.-t.ny we, parted Avilli a dear boy to see him no more- He tell the first soldier of North Carolina’s brave troops- He fell by sickne.s-s but we were much consoled by tl.e all'ec- tionatfc reports of ids much loved Cap tain, a.ssuring us that everything Avas done for him as feelingly as could lia\-e been done for him at home. At tlie death of our son. Capt. Vance mourned witli us as a ehrlstiau gentleman. He sat tAA'o nights by Iii.s bed side, he •bu ried him handsomely, we removetl him in cold weather. We have several of tlie old company in Bmicaimbc at this, time who VA’onld clialleiigc tlie liosts ot his enemies to shoAV one unkind act in his military career. Sir.*, my aged compaidon keeps some of tlie letters of Capt. Z. B. Vance as leaflets from anothei- worUl, full of a pa rent’s heart, feeling tor a .smitten fami ly, which we feel oui'duty to submit to yoiirbetter Judgment to publish or de eliue. * 'r'uo.AIAS8TR.\l)LEY.
