At present there are 433 prisoners in the Penitentiary. Since the opening of the institution 800 or 900 convicts have been received. Dvring the pres ent year the terms of 96 convicts will expire. The Henderson Tribune says there f is at Kittrell's an old ear of the Raleigh , and Gaston railroad covered with bungles, and wonders how this home looking concern would appear run ning on the road now as it did twenty fife years ago. The Salisbury Watchman says: Dr. Chunn of this county slaughtered a ; hog a few days since that weighed 6f7 pound net. Therahave been quite a number of large porkers killed in this eountv this winter, but Dr. Chunn's is the largest yet heard of. Tho Raieigh Nevrq says : Yesterday Governor Caldwell issued an appoint ment to Monsieur Emile Morel as Commissioner of Deeds, Ac, for North Carolina, resident in Paris. This is the first appointment of the kind ever made by this State, and it was done under a law passed by the General Atsembly just before its ad journment.

Ariine died on the 21st inst., and at last accounts Hathaway had not been arrested. Hathaway is about forty-five years old, and said to bo a desperate character in his neighborhood.

Tho Raleigh News says: The new congregation of the Episcopal Church met in the rear room of the Citiacts' National Bank last evening, and per fected their organization. The name of the "Good Shepherd" was selected lor the Church. The following gen tlemen were elected Vestrymen until Easter Mondav: R. H. Battle, Jr., P. A. Wiley, Dr. C. D. Rice, J. B. Batchclor and A. P. Bryan. The Charlotte Observer gives the following contradiction to the rumors lately circulated: " The rumor that Hon. Z. B. Vance and Col. Wm. Johnston, of Charlotte, are contem plating the establishment of a newspa per in Raleigh, wo are authorized to pronounce false. They have no such intentions. The report that the Ob server is to be removed to the City of Oaks is also without foundation in truth."

N. 1'Iartin, Esq., of Wilmington, confirm ed bv the Senate as a member in place of G. W. Welker, of Guilford, has signified hia acceptance of the posi tion.

The Tarboro Enquirer-Southerner, says : Tho cashier of the Bank of New Hanover informs as, that since the 1st of December, 1873, to the present time, over 820.CC0 has passed through his bank in payment for mn!es bought in this county. If this ia tak en in connection with the amount that is expended and does not pass through the bank, we may safely calculate that the amount annually expended by Edgecombe for mules will approxi mate 60,000 or $70,000. T3:e Hickorv Prss says : It is said there is an old lady in Iredell county, who does not kr.ow who is President of these i United States or Governor oi orth Carolina, but she can tell yon trie name of every Presbyterian minis ter in the North Carolina Synod, the cumber of children of ench, their ages, Ac, also the number of students at Davidson College, and how many and the name of these who are going to ftndy for the miuistry.

Wo learn that periiaps two or three, including Fore, had been tearing the boy about some little jest ing matter, which resulted in inducing him to throw the rock. The deceased leaves a family. The boy is quite young. The parties all resided near Ashcville. We are glad to hear that Neuse Lodge, I. O. O. F., of this place, have decided to aecept Colonel Humphrey's very liberal offer and purchase the va cant lot opposite the Hotel, 30 front by 90 deep, on which they propose to build the new Hall. The terms, wo understand, are $3,000 on four years time, with interest at C per cent. Col. Humphrey has refused its equivalent in cash some timo back. If the trade is confirmed Neuse' Lodge will sell its lot on West Center street,- and work will begin as soon as the weather opens.

He states that the Committee has come to no such conclusion. It seems conceded that all the Dem ocrats except Thurman and Bayard, certain preliminary motions failing, will support Carpenter's Louisiana Election bill, which it is stated will be altered to hold an election in Novem ver, instead of May. Carpenter is quoted: "That the Republican party can only avoid a de feat by unloading Louisiana." A change of date will be made to con ciliate industrial interests. A pressure is brought to bear upon cenator West to hold off the Army Ap propriation bill for the Louisiana case so that people may know what to ex pect, The bill will occupy fully ten days.

Senate Mr. West introduced a bill to provide for the settlement of claims of loyal persons growing out of the rebellion. Referred to the Committee on Claims. The Treasury sells a million of gold o:i the tirst and third, and a half mil lion on the second and fourth Thurs days of March. Total three millions. Washington, March 2 Night. The bill introduced by Senator West for tho settlement of loyal claims, pro vides that the Court claims shall have sole jurisdiction of all claims against the United States, brought by loyal persons, for all classes of property de stroyed, occupied or taken by the army and navy of the United States, for and in the service of the United States. Also that all persons who have been restored the rights of personal property, after participation iu the late rebellion by reason of any am nesty, proclamation or personal par dons of the President, and who re sumed their allegiance before the end ing of the war, shall be entitled to the beuebt of the provisions of this bill. It also abolishes the Southern Claims Commission and provide3 that all claims now pending and undetermined by said Commission, or before the 2'iarteirnasfcr General, or Commissa ry Genera!, or other Executive depart ments o" the Government, shall be transferred for adjudication t the Court claims, wi.i.'h after rendering j judgements, the same is required to i report them to Congress for its action i thereon.

The Commissioners are empowered to summon witnesses for testimony, to employ stenograph phcrs and to fully prepare each claim for presentation to said Court. The Government is to be represented by the respective District Attorneys, and the orders of the Commissioners are to enforced by the respective U. S. Mar shals. The do.-ket of each case is to be open for the inspection of the public when completed. Other detailed provisions guard the rights of the United States and claim ant. . by prohibiting unnecessary delay afte. the commencment of suits, and enftrceing severe penalties for mis-crtr- jnet. The costs and expenses iu each case are to be born by the successful litigant. It is claimed that the enrolment of the bill would save the Government a vast sum of money annually ex pended in salaries of employes and other expenses in the various depart ments engaged in examining and settling such claims, besides the great expenses to which claimants are now subjected in coming to Washington to prosecute their claims, which, under this bill, can virtually be prepared for determination in their respective Ju dicial Districts. An encounter occurred to-day before the Imperial hotel, between Congress man Pelham and Mr. Busteed, a neph ew of Judge Busteed, of Alabama. The quarrel, it seems, was the result of some former words. Mr. Pelhams pistol was taken from him by John A. Elmore, of Montgomery, and while re strained by his cloak, he received sev eral blows from youner Busteed. who also was triflingly bruised . V No bloody result is apprehended. Gov. Bond was to-day confirmed by a two-thirds vote as postmaster at At lanta. The nomination had been pend ing ninety days, and is claimed as a great administration victory. G ov. Herbert is here representing the Chamber of Commerce and the views of Gov. Kellogg in favor of the fort Phillip Canal. He addresses the Committee on Canals and Railroads of the House to-morrow.

CiscrxsATT, Feb. 24. Tho Common Council of Springfield have adopted a resolution directing the police to enforce the ordinance relating to obstruction of the sidewalks. This is a direct blow at the praying women, and its execu tion will certainly cause great excite ment. At Newark the saloon-keepers held a meeting this evening, and unanimously resolved to close their bnsiness entirely. At Mount Vernon the usual calls were made, but no ad ditional successes are reported. An indignant beer-seller removed a taber nacle that was before his door, putting it into the street, and afterwards threw a bucketful of beer on the ladies who were inside the little bnilding. For this he was promptly arrested. The war was opened at Bellefontaine to day, but no results ar reported yet. At McConnellsville the oldest saloon keeper in the town emptied his stock of liquors into the street amid great excitement. At Piqua two surrenders this morning caused a lively ringing of the bells. At Adelphi two saloons have been closed in addition to those already reported. The Londonderry people are promising to rid their place of liquor shortly, and the way is being prepared for it. The campaign opens there to-morrow. The movement ha3 reached Yellow Springs, and tbe ladies of that place organized to-day for business. At Lancaster the temperance meeting called to-night was well atttnded, the ehurwh being tilled. Efforts to o'otaiu the signatures of the saloon keepers to the pledge to-day were a failure, and the plan of coercion w.ll be adopted. Twenty -eight saloons were visited. Five of the six druggists iu the phce signed promptly. At Delaware the excitement wa s so intense to-day that it was found almost impossible to con duct the usual exercises at the Univer sity, end tnroughont the place little mercantile business was trai saeted. Everything gave way to the question of the hour. A large meeting was held, and a band started out to get names to the pledge. After two hours' work onlv one ri ...-- - mgncd. xne towu will be patrolled bv four j squads to-morrow. At Cireleviil, ; where efforts were made to start a I temperance movement without suc cess, tho saloon keepers are discus-iug ' the question of t topping voluntarily. after the stvle of their Newark breth ren. Several of them express a wilingness to quit the business pro viding the remainder will do likewise There is a fair prospect of their resell ing an agreement. Thirty-one saloon keeiers at Rich mond, Indiana, were visited to-day, and requested to sign the pledge. All refused. The druggists were waited on, and all but one signed. To-morrow morning, 100 ladies, nearly all Quakers, will begin the saloon meet ings, the proprietors having promised them respectful trt.ament. The re ligions revivals throughout the State continre with undiminished fervor. The Rev. John Jeuner of the Wine breuuer Church, at Crestline, Ohio, while laboring under religious excite ment, which had probably reached the insane stage, cut his throat to-night, and also cut his abdomen open. He will probably die. Columbus, Ohio, Feb. 24. Inthe Ohio House of Representatives to-day the following was offered, and came within three votes of a passage : Whereas, The philanthropic women of Ohio are now engaged in an effort to eradicate from society tha evils arising from the sale and consumption of intoxicating liquors; and, Whereas, Intemperance is the great est moral, social, and political evil of the times; therefore be it Resolved by the General Assembly of the State of Ohio, That we, the rep resentatives of the people, do hereby extend to the women of Ohio our sin cere congratulations upon the signal success which has thus far attended their efforts, and tender to then our hearty and cordial sympathy with the object they have in view to wit, the total suppression of the traffic in in toxicating liquors as a beverage.

C, Feb. 25. The Republican caucus last night continued in session until midnight, and there was much talking. Cardozo, who was chairman of the committee to prepare a memorial to Congress as set off against the tax-payers' memorial, submitted a report, which was freely discussed. It was finally remanded back for alterations, and adopted at the caucus held to-niffht. and will probably be published on Friday morning. At the cau cus. Congressman Elliott made a speech denouncing Comptroller Iloge in strong terms, and demanding that the party unload. Hurley, Mackey and others, also mado speeches. The Governor was dumb throughout tho entire caucus, and seems to be com pletely hacked. The party are utterly demoralized, and the rings aro broken up and dispirited. Their only hope is j in tne memorial wnicn will be publish ed and sent to Congress. Ia the House, to-day, tlie tax me morial was discussed until 4 o'clock. Mackey and Bowley made speeches denouncing the tax-payers' movement. The former read a long list of figures to prove that the statement of the ex penses in the tax-payers' memorial are untrue. Bowley made a strong uppeal to his race on the question of color. Featherstone, (Conservative) from An derson, was the only Conservative who made an eloquent appeal to th Legislature to heed the voice of the peo ple and relieve their burdens. The discussion finally ended by referring the memorial to a committee of seven, with instructions to draw tip and re- port a bill to amend the law iu rela tion to th assessment and collection of 1h s !! the .Seiiaie thern was a long di-1-cnssioii oertho bill to regulate the assessuM'tit a 'til eol lection of taxes in Marion county, which, however, iinal lv passed it i-tvoii 1 rending iu the sftllit!

Mrs. Astor, the wife of the hundred millionaire of New York, appeared at a party which she gave at her Fifth avenue residence one evening last week, in a style that would justify any reporter in eaying that she "literally blazed all over with diamonds." On each of her shoulders she had four stars, the size of silver half dollars, made of diamonds. Her hair was set very thickly with diamonds, and her head seemed aflame with them. There was a diamond bandau upon her brow. She h id diamond ear-rings, and a diamond necklace of magnificent pro portions, Upon the two sides of her chest were two circles of diamonds about the size of the palm of the hand. From them deepened lines and curves of diamonds reached to ber waist, round which she wore a diamond gir dle. On the skirts of her dress in front were two large peacocks, wrought of lines of diamonds. There were rosettes of diamonds on her slippers. There were diamonds, large or small, in every variety of form, all over her dress and person, wherever they could be artistically placed. She presented an extraordi nary and dazzling spectacle, as she moved languidly through the dance, among her friends. One of the ladies present, a connoisseur in precious stones, who kept cool enough to take practical observations, says the dia monds she wore could not have cost less than a million dollars, and must have represented her hnsband's income for at least a quarter of a year. This same lady, who is fanvUiar with court lifo in Europe, says that the largest collection of diamonds in tho posses sion of any European Empress or Queen, belongs to the present German Empress, bnt, she adds, even Augusta herself could not make a diamond show which would begin to compare with that made by Mrs. - Astor on Thursday evening of last week. In these hard times the Astors are occa sionally liberal in their benefactions. For instance, there was a banquet for twenty-four given at tlie t stor mansion the other day, and in front of each lady's plate there was a gift for her of a costly bonbonnicrc, exquisitely wrought with precious stones, and about the size of an ordinary f-nnff box; and each lady was also presented with a bouquet, gotten up iu fashion not to be described. Tlif i;ad' Hill llo'obcrk-riicir ICoute and Destination. Trotn a gentleman of Salem, Dent county, in this State, who was in this city yesterday, tho following interest ing particulars were learned of tho movements of the Gad's Hill robbers immediately after the robbery: On the first day of February five men stopped at the residence of Widow Cook, on Currant rive r, one mile ibove Caipentersville. They were all well mounted and led a horse without rider. Four of the men were six-footers, and two of them apparently brothers, being very much alike both in form and face. The fifth man was lov and heavy set. Tluv left about f.-.nr ,.lr..!- .... -trt "morning. The next day tleven mea rode up to Widow Cook's in pursuit of the five, having trai ked them from Gad's Hill, a distance of sixty milt p. At Licking, alMiiit sixteen milts further went, four of the h'Vtn gave up the pursuit and returned. When last sen the five were at Mr. Payne's, ou Big Fines, in Texus, going in the direction of Harts ville, in Wright couuty. All along the route they are reported to have con ducted themselves as gtntlcmeu, pay ing for everything they got.
