Masoxic Celebration' in Yacthtytlle. The
Masonic procession formed in full regalia and
marched, under the direction of Colonel E. Ben-
ton Withers, to tno liapust unurcn, wnere, in a
beautiful shady grove, seats were prepared to re
ceive the various lodges and the numerous visi
tors. The lodges represented were the Danville,
Graham, Leasburg, Milton, Iloxboro' and Greens
boro', in all turning out quite a goodly number.
A crowd of sweet, bright and beautiful female
faces added a more charming brilliancy to the
scene and greeted the Masonic fraternity with
happy, sunlit smiles. A few eloquent introductory
remarks were delivered by the Hon. John Kerr,
of Caswell, when the Rev. Mr. Mays, of South
Carolina, took the stand and delivered an address
to the assembled multitade. His subject was
mostly argumentative in favor of Masonic beau
ties and contra the prejudices of the ignorant un
initiated. He said, " Many men, outside the pale
of Masonry, condemned its principles without un
derstanding one iota of its object ; that the rock
of Masonry, though basked by ten thousand sum
mer f.uus, and washed by the waves of ten thou
sand stormy seas, remained Gibraltar still. Nor
would lie place the grand and sublime Order of
Masonry above and beyond that Holy Order whose
foundation is laid upon the Rock of Ages, but
hand in hand let them work on together, healing
the sick, clothing the poor and needy, assisting
and feeding the lone defenceless widows and or
phans whose husbands and fathers have fallen in
the ' world's great field of battle,' and that no class,
or body oi men, aided Christianity so much as the
Masons." Curres. JiicJonond Whig.

Concekt at Salisbury. Last Wednesday and
Thursday nights, the Episcopal ladies gave a very
line and diversified musical entertainment, sup
per, Ac, to benefit their Sunday school. They
without hesitation, mat it was me most tasteiul,
brilliant and pleasing affair of its kind I ever saw
in any town of the size of Salisbury. The chief
musical feature of the occasion was Mr. L. Wheat,
son of Dr. Wheat, formerly a professor at Chapel
Hill, and a brother to the famous Major Wheat,
of C. S. A., now on a visit to his sister, Mrs. F.
E. Shober, of this place. He has very recently
returned from Europe, where he has been study
ing music at Leipsic and the conservatoire of
Paris, during the past seven years. He is one of
the most accomplished and gifted artists I ever
listened to ; and I have heard many of the great
est celebrities of this and all other countries, not
i'urgftting the African " what is it " blind Tom.

Important Decision of the Sctreme Court.
We learn from a responsible source that this
tribunal has decided at the present term, that a
note given during the war for money simply, with
out expressing any particular currency has the
same force and is as valid to all intents and pur
Doses as if made in 1S0O. The effect of the deci
sion is to abrogate to a very considerable extent
the law imposing a scale of dejjreciation. The
only remedy, we presume, in such cases is to ap
ply to a Court of Equity on the ground of fraud
r mistake in the factum of the note.
e have had the above in type tor several days,
but have refrained from publishing it, hoping that
we would be enlightened on the subject by our
Raleigh exchanges, but thus far we have been dis
appointed. We hope that if any such decision
has been made, our co temporary of the Sentinel
w ill give us the information, and also publish the
pinion at an early period. If such decision has
been made, we will take occasion at an early day
to express our opinion as to the course which our
people should pursue, in order to avert as far as
possible the calamities which we fear will befall
our jieople in consequence. In saying this, we
do not mean the slightest reflection upon the judg
es who made the decision if such decision has
really been made. We have no doubt they have
decided according to law, and no reflection should
be cast upon them for simply discharging their
duty as expounders of the law.

Important Decision of the Supreme Court.
Messrs. Editors : The case of Lackey, admr. vs.
Vilter, Arc, decided at the recent term of the Su
i reme Court, has a sjecitic interest about it in
these times, and therefore I beg to submit a note
'f it for your readers.
The plaintiff, as administrator, on the lit-d of
arch, 18G5, exposed to public salo a cow ; and
the defendant, Miller, purchased it, and, in ac
y oi danee with the terms of sale, gave a sealed
liote for it as follows :
" 71 00. Six months after date we or (jither of
"s promise to pay James Lackey, admr. of Wm.
vray, dee'd., Seventy One Dollars in current
bank rnonev, for value received of hico, March
"d,lsi."
On the trial before a magistrate in Cleaveland
county, judgment was given against the defen
dants for the full amount, and upon .in appeal to
the Superior Court, this judgment wis affirmed.
In the Supreme Court, however, Judgment was
Vi ven for twenty dollars (20,) with interest from
the- time that the note became due, upon the
ground that 20 00 in specie was the value (it be
ing ' to the Court to say this) ot the note at the
TIlllC.
Iho Court (Chief Justice Fe arson giving the
r 'pinion) say that the note in piestion is not for
jlme dollars, but for bank money dollars ; that
the proper action upon it is c ovenant for the dam-
its
;'.:ai,k bil1 called for, in ' Jnited States coin. Sen

Washington, July 8. This tariff is not called
for by the people of the West and East, but it is
the result of an intrigue in which members from
those sections, with some exceptions, are concern
ed. Senator Wilson declares that he will not vote
for it, and hopes, he says, that no member from
Massachusetts will. It is not to be assumed, said
Senator Sherman, that the Senate will pass a
measure that is injurious to the public interests
why not, as well as the House ? If the measure
be made a party issue, party men will support it,
however injurious it may be, even in their own
estimation. Besides, it is very easy to make the
allegation that the duties are prohibitive, and des
tructive of commerce and of the revenue. Mr.
Stevens has settled that question for the party.
He declared that the bill was really a free-trade
measure.
Congress is becoming restive under the inflic
tion of late sittings and hot weather. A stam
pede is menaced. The project of a recess for a
longer or shorter interval is again talked of. If
an adjournment takes place, a joint committee
will be left here to manage political matters.

finally passed both Houses and been sent to the President
for his approval. As this is an amendatory act, the chan

REVIEW OF THE WILMINGTON MARKETS
ror the week ending Thursday, July 13. 1866
TuRPEHTnrE. There has been rather more firmness in
the market for this article during the week just ended, and
a will be seen from our table of sales below, prices have
advanced 12ll5 cents on all grades the sales since Mon
day haying been at H 20 for virgin, and. $3 20 for yellow
dip, 3$ 280 lbs. hard bringing half price of yellow dip,
when of good quality. The arrivals have been quite small
owing"' to the low stage of the water courses, and from
present appearances must continue so for some time, aa
little or none can now come in by river from abovo tide
way. We quote sales for the week of 892 bbls., as fol

market has continued, in a depressed condition, and prices
have declined each day throughout tho entire week clos
ing 3 cents lower than quoted in our last report. The ad

that market, and at the time of closing our review (Thurs
day evening) there is little or no demand ; there is, how

Kosrx. Since our last review there has been a firmer
feeling in the market for the finer grades, buyers having

dull, and prices are rather lower. We ouote sales for tho

Grain The arrivals of Corn since our last report
amount to only about 10,000 bushels from Baltimore and
New York, nearly all of which came to dealers and has
gone into store! The market is at present moderately
supplied with yellow, for which there is only a limited de
mand, and it is rather dull of sale at a shade decline. Tho
stock of prime white is quite small, and there is a moder
ate enquiry. We quote sales during the week from wharf
and store, in lots to suit purchasers, at $1 20$ 1 25 for
yellow, and $1 40$1 45 y bushel for white, as in quanti
ty. A few cargoes of prime whito would sell very readily
at a fair quotation. Oats The stock in dealers hands
has become materially reduced in tho absence of receipts
worthy of note, and is at present quite small. We note
the sale, a few days since, of a lot of 500 bushels at 65
cents i bushel. Peas Aro in active request, and tho
market continues bare of all descriptions. No receipts or
sales for some weeks past, consequently we are unable to
give a correct quotation, but high figures could easily bo
obtained for a few lots. Rice For clean Carolina
there is merely a retail demand, and we quote at 13H
cents in casks, and 1415 cents 39 lb. in bbls.
Hay The stock of Morthern has become somewhat re
duced owing to the meagre arrivals for a few weeks, but
is fully ample to supply present wants. Unly about lou
bales received for the week, which sold from wharf at 95
cents$l 05 3$ 100 lbs.
Lime Is in fair stock, and but littlo demand. Wo quote

Poultry Tho market is rather better supplied, but
prices continue to rule high. Wo quote live chickens at
25 to 50 cents, aud grown fowls at 50 to C5 cents each, as
to size.
Provisions. Tho market for N. C. cured Bacon has
ruled quite firm during the past week, and prices aro a
shade higher at the close than quoted in our la.st report.
There has been a brisk demand for jobbing lot, and a
prime article has found ready sale. The receipts have
been quite small during tho past week or two, aud in con
sequence the supply in first Lands has become materially
reduced. We quote sales for the week at 1920 cents for
hog round, and 2022 cents 3j It., for hams, as in quality
the market closing firm at highest figures, l'or Wes
tern, thero continues to bo scarcely any demand, although
there is very li'-tle on market, and we quote from store by
the package at 17J18 cents for shoulders, and l'J19i cts.
y lb. for sides. Laud. The market is very poorly
supplied, and we notice an active enquiry during the
week. One or two lots of North Car lina have been re
ceived and sold readily at 22 cents in bbls., and 23 c(;iits
3? lb. in kegs. Pouk. We have no change of conse
quence to report 111 Northern brands. J lie stock nt ia
here is small, though sufficient to supply tho demand
which exists at present, and we refer to our talde for atoro
quotations.
Salt There has been considerable activity in the mar-
et for this article during the past wee k, caused pririci-
allv by a speculative, movement, and price s have matcri-
liy advanced ou all descriptions, and h.ive a further up
ward tendency. No receipts of Liverpool ground, but wo

shipping demand, and we quote only small wales at $2 2.
$ t 00 for Common, and $1 to f 3 i V.I. for Contract, as in
quality.
Timber Owing to the low stage of tho water courses
th? arrivais have been meagre for some weeks, and sinco
last report little or none has come to market, consequent
ly iio sales have taken place. Millers, however, have a
stock on hand suffi-ient for present wants. We refer to

must be looked upon as meiely nominal.
