It reads a little curious that Maj. A.

"The negroes have been told that Until

transportation gratis iroin Washington,
from which point a special train will run

He makes a strange mistake as to
the population of New Berne. He
gives the whites at 22,000, negroes
4,400. We suppose about 3,000 whites
would be correct. It appears that

Mr. A. J. walloway tola the oorres- I
I
pondent:
"I am satisfied that Perry and Williams
were carrying them to Indiana for political
purposes. They exerted great influence
over them, and worked on their duplicity.
Perry at first secured a fee of twenty-five
cents each for registering their names, but
subsequently increased tne price to two
dollars, which he compelled them to pay,
ostensibly to meet his expenses lo Indiana
as their advance agent, tie was atterwaras
indicted for forgery, and was compelled to
deposit a collateral of $100 before a magis
trate's court at lia wrange. mis ne com
pelled the negroes to pay by assessment.
Ho finally defaulted and ran away, leaving
his $100 behind. The second movement
(of those part of whom are now in Wash
ington) was by pre-arrangement.
Gen. Joseph E. Johnston's appoint
ment by the Military Committee of
the House to reorganiza the United I
btates army, gives much satistaction,
we are told. He is eminently quali
fied, but the Stalwart organs . will

howl over it, or we are no prophet.
The Richmond Dispatch's Washing-
toll correspondent remarks:
"it seems strange to many that even the
greatest surviving capiain i f the Confed
eracy should be called upon io reorganize
the army now under the command or ine
general to whom he surrendered. This
allows what a wonderful country this is, and
how rapidly we would be oue people if the
politicians would only let us alone. The
armv officers will be better satisfied that
General Johnson should do this work than
that it should be committed to civilians,
who do not understand when changes and
reducilons can be profitably made.
The Philadelphia Times's special
gay8 Speaker Randall is not so much
looking out for Mr. Tilden'a chances
as for his own. He is for serving, it
seems, the Pennsylvania Samuel J.
aud not the New York Samuel J.
The Tilden men aresaid to be hope
less of securing him, so they "are
looking at the Speaker as the best
man with whom thev can beat Mr. 1
Bayard." If Seymour does not pre
vent his own nomination, all such
movements as that indicated above
will be futile and unnecessary.

to cover an
ten thousand square feet, (nearly a quarter
of an acre).' The trunk of the tree just
above the . ground measures in diameter
seven feet and six inches. It is of the red
oak species, andis familiarly known as the
"Big Oak." Notwithstanding the great
age of the venerated tree it still presents to
the eye of the beholder the appearance of I
being perfectly sound and healthy, and will
probably for years to come continue to be
the King Oak of Brunswick county.
Attempted Suicide.
A colored girl by the name of Fanny
Hayes, who lives on the premises corner of
Fifth and Mulberry streets, went to a drug
store a few nights since and called for five
cents worth of laudanum, securing which
she went home, swallowed the contents of
the bottle, and laid herself down to die.
She had been asleep probably an hour,
when, upon an attempt being made to
awake her, the soundness of her slumber
aroused the suspicion that something was
wrong. It then transpired that a little girl
saw her bring something from the drug
store in a bottle and drink it, whereupon
the druggist was applied to and confirmed
the statement, assuring her friends, how
ever, that there was not enough of the lau
danum to pro ve.f atal, and advising them to
get her upon her feet as quickly as possible
and keep her stirring until the effects of the
poin had passed off. At last accounts she I
had very nearly recovered. J ealousy is said
to have been the cause of the attempt upon
her life.
