VOL. XXV. NO. 56.
As a curiosity we copy the follow
ing from a letter written from Wil
mington to the New York Herald:
"Since this noa partisan ball has been
started a unanimous thrill has run through
Southern politics in favor of Grant and
Stephens. It is the sincere belief of your
correspondent that this State, and indeed
every other Southern State, will send a
unanimous support for this ticket. "
The only "thrill we have been
able to detect here is a boom for
Seymour. We do not believe there
are fifty Democrats in the State who
could be induced to support Grant
for the nomination unless the promise
of a very soft place was made, and
"by authority." We have not seen a
word in one of our Democratic State
exchanges that squints remotely at
any support of Grant. To the con
trary, they appear to be very "solid"
against him. They have not for
gotten his shameful record. The
Baltimore Gazette is correct when it
says of the proposed movement:
"But it would be a blind folly or down
right idiocy on the part of the South to lend
itself to such a wretched game. "
We do not apprehend the slightest
danger in North Carolina from any
suoh foolish movement. A few hun
gry office seekers may plunge in, but
the Democratic rank and file will re
sist Grantism to the bitter end, how
ever sweetly he may sing.
It is now said that the "true in
wardness" of Gen. Toombs's letter is
that he is for Grant. He says he
would rather see Grant made Dicta
tor than see a Northern Democrat
President. We copy the following
paragraph concerning him from the
Washington letter in the Baltimore
8un
"To his mind Grant represents the best
assurance to the South of restored dignity
and equality in the Union. 'What more
natural, then,', said the politician already
quoted, 'than that Toombs should seek to
help Grant at the North? With all his wild
talk. Gen. Toombs is remarkably wise as a
counselor. Nobody would be more apt to
see the certain damage to Grant's chances
for the Republican nomination likely to
follow the victories of the Republicans in
the fall elections. If assured of success
.with Blaine or Sherman they would have
no use fur Grant, whom they propose to
take only as a dernier retort, and as security
against the South, knowing what an enfant
terrible he is at the North, and perfectly
reckless of the effect upon himself. Toombs
saw his opportunity to help Grant by ap
pealing to the apprehensions of the Stal
warts of a new rebellion at the South, and
used it with characteristic audacity.' "
"Hark, from the Toombs a doleful
sound."
Mr. Stephens says no one is autho
rized to say that be would support
Grant, but be believes that the South
would support him in preference to
Tilden. He does not think that the
latter would get five States as against
Grant. The Washington correspon
dent of the Baltimore Sun says of
Mr. Stephens:
"He freely avows his strong personal re
gard for Grant, whom he thinks worthy to
rank with the phenomenal men of history.
He has the fullest confidence in Grant's
judgment and patriotism, and thinks- be
has been mucn misapprenenaeu now norm
and South. There is nothing new in all
this, as Mr. Stephens has repeatedly ex
pressed his admiration for Gen. Graft, be
tween whom and himself a warm recipro
cal interest has existed since their first
meeting at City Point in the test winter of
the war."
The Agricultural Department puts
the crops in the United States for
1870 as follows: corn, 1,500,151,570
bushels; cotton, 4,926,288 bales; bar
ley, 40,184,000 bushels; buckwheat,
13,438,000 bushels; oats, 365,000,000
bushels; potatoes, 181,362,340 bush
els; rye, 20,646,000 bushels; tobacco,
384,050,650 pounds; wheat 448,750,-
000 bushels.
The Augusta (Ga.) Chronicle says
this, and it is comforting:
"Out of about one hundred and thirty
Democratic newspapers published in Geor
gia, there is not one that would touch
Grant with a forty-foot pole."

A colored man called at the gunsmith

was explaining to Mr. Craig, one of the

fulminating powderou the nipple, when
his thumb slipped, the hammer flew back,
and the weapon was discharged, the con
tents striking a double-barrel gun sitting
near the window, making such an indenta
tion in one of the barrels as to render the
weapon almost valueless, and then passing
through the window, knocking out two
panes of glass. It was very fortunate that
no one was injured by the accident.

Terrible Accident at Rocky Point-
Four Children Burned te Death.
The house of one Jacob Keaten, colored,
oh Mr. G. Z. French's "Excelsior" planta
tion, at Rocky Point, Pender county, was
accidentally destroyed by fire on Monday
last, about 13 o'clock, and his four children
perished in the flames. It seems that the
father was off at work and the mother visit
ing somewhere in the neighborhood,! the
children being left alone in the house, the
oldest being a boy about seven years of
age, and the other three ranging from an
infant up to five or six years of age. The
body of the oldest boy was found outside
the house, reclining in a corner of the fence,
while the unrecognized remains of the other
children were found amoung the ruins of
the burnt building. The origin of the'fire
is unknown, but it is supposed that the
clothing of the boy caught fire, and that in
trying to extinguish it he set fire to the
bouse and finally escaped into the yard,
where he perished.

Capt. Blackford, of the Scbr John,
which was wrecked off Porter's Neck,
Topsail Sound, on Saturday last, together
with his crew, arrived here yesterday, and
are trying to make arrangements to reach
New York. They are in a destitute condi
tion, having lost everything by the disaster,
from which they made such a narrow es
cape. The Norwegian brig Prosperile, Capt.
Beruldsen, previously reported as ashore at
Federal Point, Was visited by the surveying
party which went down from this city
Monday and returned yesterday. They re
port the sea breaking over her and the
vessel full of water, and going to pieces.
The crew landed at Federal Point early
Monday morning, and yesterday went
aboard again, after muca difficulty in get
ting through the surf, and were engaged
during the day in trying to save the rigging,
sails, etc., but with slight chances of suc
cess. The officer in charge of the Govern.
ment works at the point is giving all the
assistance in his power. The brig was
owned by I. Jergensen, of Tvedestrande,
Norway, registered 270 tons, was valued at
$20,000, and insured in Norway to the
amount of $10,000. The ship's papers were
saved. The Prosperiie went ashore Mon
day morning at 1 o'clock instead of 10 A.
M., as was incorrectly printed in yesterday's
paper. I
