The Tammany Committee will meet next Friday evening when, it is confi dently asserted, "the Democratic nomi nee will be unanmously endorsed and arrangements-set on foot for one of the grandest ratification-meetiDgs ever held in New York. I Here is settle straw, one of the many, bat not the last, destined to break " the back of the poor Republican mule. It is from the Xewlon Enterprise: There were 80Q excursionists on the ram run from Salisbury to Asheville last week, and on the return trip a vote was taken for President, which showed almost unanimous preference tor Cleye and. There were 275 cast for Cleve land and 17 for Blaine. Only men over 21 years old were allowed to vote. , Nothing has been heard, of any at tempt, thus far, to bring the bloody shirt into the present campaign, in.any of the Northern States, except, perhaps, an occasional reference to the Danville r Copiah troubles. It has been re- an-ed for Col. Wm. Johnston, of Charlotte, to propose a plan by which "may be brought to the front. There J3 to be a joint discussion at Ruther fordton on Wednesday, and in refer f2ce to this Johnston has been heard to SJJ: "I will be kdamned to hell-fire 5 it wo send to the North dispatches J Proper shape of the disturbance at Eatherfordton wo will carry Ohio and "ery doubtful State ut theNorth." This "iterance is significant, it having been fcade a week before the time named w the meeting If Johnston wants a to, it is a pity that he cannot be ac comodated, but there is too much at rke just at this time. To bo fore tjmed 43 to bo forearmed, and we aaot afford to play into the hands of ur enemies at this .time. But as J?1- Johnston, he may rest assured bis wish, in one respect, will be fraUfied. He wm be danlned to hell re anyhow, whether these is or is Lot & row at Rutherfordton.

SEPTEMBER matter, or part of the correspondence may be found in den. RsWs woli known "Historv of the Secret Service." One of the crfficial letters is dated at Washington Jan. 2 1865. and is ad dressed to 4C. A. Dana, Assistant Sec retary of War." The writer is L. C. trie National Police. He- has been .or-. aerea to inquire into certain lUegal aad ireasonaoie .transactions done under recommendation ot Major-Geperai Butler, ''resardless of every motive but tne soroia one ot amassing wealth at the expense of the verv lifeblood of this country:" In reply Gen. Baker says : Dunn2 the latter Dart of last one G. M. Iane. upon the recommenda tion of Major Gen. Bntler, procured permission to carry to North Carolina articjes not of a contraband -rmture consist in? of boopskirls, ladies' wearing apparel, &c. and receive in return cot ton.

While, agent for Confederate supplies: "Gen. Uutlers brother-m-law. Mr. Hildretb. is Dartnor of this Ian. anil has received, in one case alone, a fee of $7,000, besides other fees." he letter goes on to, give a list of firms "uckini? the lifeblood of the nntion" throuah oeculiar nrivilfio'es conferred! by Lane and Hildreth, all done under Drotection of Butler's order, "George A.

Butler, and others." tha tetter states, have several stores near uorndacic, uurntucK bounty, N, K., and are repoted to have sold in two months $200,000 worth of contraband goods." Alter reciting instances where descriptions of detectives were furnish ed the Confederates, the letter con cludes: "And it can also bes. clearly shown that a large portion or these goods have gone directly to the rebel Gen. Lee's army." J here is no record that Mr. Dana took any measure against Gen. Butler looking to the revoking of Lane & Hildrejth's strange permit. Fire in Texas. Chief Fire Department, Houston, Texas, Mr. Wm. II. Coyle, writes, that he was severely injured by a fall ing wall. He jould scarcely move about when berwas mdnced to try fet. Jacobs Oil, the magical pain-reliever. and to his surprise be was cured ot his lameness. LOCAL NEWS, INDEX TO NEW ADVERTISEMENTS.

Bowden & Larkins' farm on Wrightsviilc Sound, was driving away some cattle that had gotten into one of the fields, when a cow" of the' drove started in a direction he did not want her to go. He shouted for some one at the house to stop her, and his little girl ran out for that purpose, when the cow, which bad become quite furious, started in pursuit of her. The girl screamed and ran for the fence, bat the animal was so near that she conld not gam a place of safety, and she would undoubtedly have been gored and tram pled to death had not the dog, who had heard the screams, ran np and caught the coW by the nose just when the latter was not more than three feet from the girl, and held on with such tenacity as to throw the animaU thus giving the young miss time to escape.; It is needless to say that that dog is an espe cial pet and favorite with Mr. Murray and his. family, and that they, resent an injury to him as quickly as they would to. one of themselves.- We invito the attention bFoxxr citizens to the fact that first quality shirts are beinxaade to order at one dollar at the WUainstcn Shirt Factory.
