Grand Lecture or Got. Vance on The Scattered Nation.' f. While there was no need ' to add to the fame either as chaste thinker or impassioned orator of Zebulon B. Vance, yet the demon stration at the Opera House last night in his honor must have gladdened his heart and added to that proud, self-respect pos sessed by every gifted man'in every occu pation of life. It was arousing outpouring of popular affection to begin with; it was to end with a grand endorsement of all pre vious criticism on the ex-Governor's pow ers as lecturer. At half past 8 o'clock Gov. . Vance, pre ceded by the three committeemen of the Is raelitish society of The True Brothers and by thirty-eight members of the State Press, entered the Opera House, the Cornet Coni cert Club playing an appropriate ah-. , Seats had been prepared in a semi-circle around the stage for the editorial 'fraternity. An ele gantly furnished stand, decorated beauti fully with flowers, bad been provided. Behind this' just to the rear of the Speaker, sat the . Committee. Mr, N. Jacobi in a creditable manner introduced Gov. Vance and his subject "The Scattered Nation." The lecture opened with a happy com parison of the Jewish race to the Gulf Stream. The wondrous slorv of the He brews, as found in the chequered annals of more than four thousand changing years their democratic oolitv: . their Dhvsical. mental and moral characteristics'; their unity and devotion through wrong and rapine, through bitter social ostracism and acute physical persecution; their superb, unswerving faith, which . seas of blood could not drown nor fires of hate consume all these, which make - up the most re markable of all histories that the world has read,' were . powerfully presented In the light of simple truth,' in language of the utmost beauty and felicity. We listened, as others did, to the whole lecture in rapt attention, and we do not care, in justice to ourself as well as to the speaker, to attempt an analysis. The lecture has been delivered in a few other places, but we will add, per haps nowhere under more favorable cir cumstances or with greater general satis faction. A lofty tribute, from the heart and intellect of one of America's highest men, to the strangest, but perhaps, purest of all people, who ever occupied the earth, the effort was received by all in the gener ous spirit in which it was composed and uttered. Round after round of applause greeted the "hits,'1 which were numerous, and at the close there was continuous ap plause for many minutes. Bouquets were thrown upon the stage by the fair occupants of one Of the boxes. 1 - The evening was propitious every way ; and judging from the unusually large atten dance the proceeds, which are intended to be appropriated to the building of an Israel- itish place of worship, must have been grat ifying in correspondence! . O. B. xar. Celebration. A grand celebration of the four tribes of the Slate of the Improved Order of Red Men will take place in this , city to day. The procession, in charge of Marshal P. T. Dicksey, will form on Princess street, be tween Front and Second, at 3 o'clock, in the following order: , . Leading Chief. . . Apollo Band. ,' Pocahontas Tribe. Pee Dee Tribe. Black Hawk Tribe.

Joseph A. Engel hard, of the Wilmington Journal, President in the chair. . . . . . f The President called the Association to order, and ; welcomed the members to this city in cordial terms, both as President of the Association and as a citizen of Wil mington. i- Having just returned from an extended journey South he had been unable to make the preparations for the reception of the Association -which he could x have desired and which might be axpected of him as its presiding officer. The press of our State had a great and onerous duty to perform. The State was replete with immense resources and con tained a population which was equal to thai of any State. - It devolved upon the press to foster and develop these resources and to bring this population together in more concert of ac tion for their own advancement," and to assist the progress of the State in its onward march to prosperity and wealth. ' -; ' Another important duty.the press had to perform was to build op and encourage a greater State pride. - The North Carolina press hnd sustained her own sous, but had likewise been lavish in its praises of prom inent men of other States - and contributed, greatly to their reputation, whilst the press of other States had almost entirely ignored the public men. of .North Carolina. This should not be. To build up a State char acter the State press should sustain the rep utation of her public men. ; The roll of members was then called by the Recording Secretary, R. T.

It is so seldom that oar citizens have the pleasure of listening to "big Richmond's" great teachers a fact which we deplore- that we had accounted the brethren of the First Baptist Church particularly favored in the presence, on Sunday last, of the Rev. Dr. Curry; but when it was announced that the Rev. Dr. William - E. Hatcher would preach in that church on last nightthe same night that the Hon. Z. B. Vance was to deliver at the Opera House his lecture on "The Scattered Nation" we feared lest he should think, from the smallness of the audience , which might attend, , that . the compliment of his, presence among us was not duly appreciated. In spite, however, of the attractions elsewhere, Dr. Hatcher was met by a fair congregation, to . whom he discoursed most acceptably. We regret that circumstances made it impossible to have the Doctor on some other evening. but to those who know how great is ' the self-denial practiced by a North Carolinian when he abstains from listening to his great war Governor, the size of .the congregation must be considered a flattering testimony to the reputation of the preacher.
