-The Sick Ones.
We regret to learn that Mr. John C.
Bailey, woo has been ill for a long time
at his residence in this city, is considered
ai desperately sick, ard his friends and
family are very much alarmed as to ' the
final result.
Wo are glad to hear that Mr. Geo, Z.
French, whoso serious illness at his plan
tation at Rocky Poict was reported by us
yesterday.has been pronounced belter an 1
his condition is now considered favorable.
A Good Beginning.
We learn that some of the members of
come interested in the establishment of
regular religious exercises and instruction
at a place about vj miles from Magnolia
ia Duplin county. R.v. Dr. Patterson
has visited that bectija and preached on
one or two occasions, much to the edifica'
Uon and satisfaction of the people. On
Sun("J,ast a Sunday School with' between
fifty and sixty runils was orcauized at
which reluioua iastructioa will be regu
laincd ever Sunday. It was
organized mair.ly thtvugh the efforts of
Mr. Jvhn AltxaLder, a venerable member
of the chun.li alluded tc. We learn from
him that Mr. Joseph Graves, who lives
in the vicinity indicated, has donated two
acres of land fur church purposes and has
fciven the neceisarytimbe? foj the build

have subscribed dfiite liberally towaid3

Freight Business.
It is perfectly evident that there is a
good deal of business dona in this vicini
ty from the fact that the different raiU
roads leading to this city are doing an
immense freighting business. We learn
from Capt. Knight, Master of Traospor
tition for the W. & WI and VV. O & A.
Riilroads.that both lines are transporting
very heavy freight trains every day.
The Commercial League.
Gen. M. P. T ylor has, e understand

which '.will .commend it to the insurer

Rev. Dr. Mendelson.
We are haDDV to learn that the most
friendly relations continue to exist between
the above named gentleman and his con
gregation. About New Year's w Irean
that Henry Brunhild, Esq , on behalf of
a committee, presented Dr. Mendelsohn
with a well-filled Durse as a token of
m
their appreciation and as a New Tea
gift. Another and stronger, evidence of
their regard was manifested on Sunday
evening last when a meeting was held by
.the congregation for the purpose of elect
l lg a minister for the ensuing year.
They deviated from their usual rule and
unanimously elected Dr. Mendelsohn for
two years as Minister of the Temple of
Israel, which was, perhaps, the greatest
compliment and most marked evidence
of their appreciation of his services which
could be shown. A committee was ap
pointed to notify the teverend gentleman
of his election and it is to be hoped that he
will accept
j The Rain storm. ,
For the first time in many months this
city and section have beeu visited with a
copious rainfall. It began raining on
Sunday about noon but it did not put in
very "big licks until late yesterday
afternoon when it began to fall in earnest
It continued throughout the night ana
has rained somewhat to-day. The
entire amount which has fallen, up to
noon of to-day, foots up 2.78 inches
The indications are that it haa extended
all over this Bection and into the interior
of the State, in which case there will be a
glorious freshet in the r.iver within a few
days. It will also serve, to bring down
timber and turpentine to this market aad
in that way help us all to feel better.
; The Bteamers which left Fayetteville
yesterday morning report that there was
no rain there at that time but that it was
threatening very seriously. - Nob very far
tils side of Fayetteville they entered the
rain clouds and Capts. Robeson and Worth
are of the opinion that the clouds passed
on well into the interior.
In this city the rain was most oppor
tune, as some of the cisterns and wells
had begun to fail.
Cotton Purchases.
State Treasurer Worth has recently
decided, in answer to certain questions
concerning the tax on cotton, that cotton
bought by merchants is included in goods,
wares or merchandise, of .wba'ever name
or description, and merchants are re
quired to list cotton so bought as pur
chases during the preceding six months.
As to the cotton that may be taken in
settlement of accounts contracted dur
ing the growing of the crop, or in pay
ment for advances made for the cultiva
tion ef the same, the treasurer says that
this may 'Involve cash payments and
barter trades. Cotton taken in sett'e
ment of accounts constitutes a barter
racsiotion, and Is not taxable. Cotton
aken on account of actual cash advances
on the crop is taxed on purchases. Cot-.
ton taken in payment for guano (on which
a State tax is paid) constitutes a barter
transaction, he says, and, as such is not
taxable. These questions must come up
daily in transactions in this section o!
the State, and it is important that the
distinctions made should be noted.

A white man whose name we sup -
press, was arraigned benre Justice
Ownnr this morning upon the charge of
f iru f-rtaenced, bui he cussd and swore
t" such n extent, threatening the Justice
with such vengeance dire, that the Court
(v t constrained to commit him to jail for
c iithjt for uue day, and to postpone!
tbe trul of the case until a more cenven-
ii ut pi riod. It is said that the defendant

several scruples of whiskey, thereforet
while such conduct before a Court dign -
tary is nigniy reprehensible, it cannot be
said that the party was altogether un
scrupulous.
