The power of the press has a good
illustration in the Field boom in Vir

with its Washington correspondent,
has manufactured a very respectable
public sentiment for Judge Field in
"old

The Baltimore American, Repub
lican, says "the great trouble with
the third-term movement is that the
great majority of the American peo
ple are its enemies." We will see
how thai is if Grant is nominated.
Wo wonder if the American will
be opposed to a third-term then ?
Charlotte and Durham celebrated
the 20th in fine style. A special from
the latter to the Raleigh Post Bays:
"Grand parade at 4 o'clock, Col. Gorrell
commanding. Thirteen States are repre
sented by young ladies dressed in white.
Mr. Julian S. Carr read the Mecklenburg
Declaration. Hon. John Manning and
Hon. D. G. Fowle delivered orations. A

Fowle, Cox and Manning, Argo and others
are to make speeches. Wind up with a
grand ball."
Another Northern minister of the
Gospel, Rev. Dr. W. F. Hatfield, has
been giving a pleasant account of the
Southern people in a recent lecture
in New York. He said that nowhere
in his travels had he ever met with
Bach genuine courtesy and hearty
hospitality as that which character
ized his reception in the South, and
he advised heads of families and
young men who cannot make a living
North, to go South and buy a farm.
We clip this paragraph from the
New York Exprsss of the 19th, to
show how free of glorious promise
are Mr. Best's methods for North
Carolina generally and Wilmington
specially:

Ex-Senator and -ex-Go v, Henry S.
Foote, whose deah was announced
recently, waa a riative of Virginia
and was born September 30, 1800.
He was graduated at Washington
College. He first ' removed to Ala
bama, thence to Mississippi. In 1847
he was elected to; the TJ. 8. Senate.
In 1848 he defeated Jefferson Davis
for the Governorship.' Her lived, in
many States and Was strong for the
Union. He was a troublesome mem-
ber of the Confederate Congress.
xxo was a reaay ;aeoater, was ex
tremely fond of being heard, was a
man of some accomplishments and
was fearless in the expression of his
opinions. We think he fought a
duel with the later S. S. PrentissJ He
was a Federal officeholder up to the
time of his death and passed away
aged nearly 80.
Our readers will remember that the
Stab has more than once noticed with
marked commendation the Eads jet
ties at the month of the Mississippi.
In spite of a most determined oppo
sition they are a decided success. A
corps of engineers has just reported
the result of a thorough inspection.
We copy from a Georgia paper:
This report states that the South Pass,
which five years ago was not navigable for
vessels drawing over six feet, is now a
magnificent stream one thousand feet in
width, with a central channel varying from
two hundred and fifty to five hundred feet
in width, where twenty-six feet is the least
depth on the outer edges, and where-thir.
ty-five feet is the average prevailing depth
of the middle. This channel, also,; has
projected itself beyond the jetties, for at
a distance of five hundred feet outside the
sea wails mere is a wen aenoea cnsnnei
one thousand feet In width, with a depth
of twenty-six feet on the edges and of
thirty-two and thirty-seven tect in the
centre."
A leading colored Republican of
South Carolina,' known as June
Mobely, in a recent speech told his
brethren that he was uiired of keep-
ng in office a set of good-for-nothing
oafers who did no work and lived
on the credulity f of colored men."
June evidently knows a thing or two.
Hear him further; as he discoursed:
"I am ashamed of myself for ever sap-
porting each men. No wonder the Demo
crats say that the Diggers are not able to
govern themselves, when they select to
govern them such ilNbegotten white men as
you see before you to-night. You elect
these white men to the National Convene
tion, and you won't see them again. When
they meet you on the street and nobody is
next thing you know you see them walkieg
arm in arm witn a Democrat, ana saying:
These d n niggars want to put on too
many airs, they want to rise up.' We must
elect people tbit will suit us."
What does this mean? The Raleigh
Observer of May 20, says:
"We notice that some of our exchanges
are calline on the Raleigh papers to publish
the contract with Mr. Best. The bill pro
vides, we believe, that he shall take posses
sion within sixty days after its passage.- So
Mr. Best has another weecoi grace. ) we
are free to say, however, that we do not
like to see the transaction of important mat
ters postponed to the last moment, and are
more than ever satisfied that it was right to
require that deposit of 130,000."

At -Kutneriora uourt, as we

Oleavland county, as reported in the Jour

found guilty of murder in the first deeree.
He was sentenced to be hung, but of course
an appeal will be taken to the Superior

the hanging till some time next winter.

Charlotte Observer: An Italian
greyhound, belonging to a young lady in

A gentleman of this city wrote to Benl. F.
Taylor a short time ago, inquiring if he
claimed the authorship of "The Long Ago,"
the beautiful poem which has been attribu
ted to the late Pbilo Henderson, of this
County. In reply, Mr. Taylor writes from
his homo in Syracuse, N. Y., to say that he
wrote the poem at the close of the year
1853, and published it in 1854.
A writer in the Weldon ITews
gives this: It is rather remarkable that
Halifax county was not called Edgecombe.
From Martin's Revisal we take the follow
ing: "Halifax county erected in 1756.
Be it, therefore, enacted by the Governor.
Councel and Assembly, and by authority
or the same. That from ana immediately
after the first day of January next ensuing,
the said county of Edgecombe be divided
by the dividing lines between the parish of
Edgecombe and the parish of St. Mary.
And that that part of the said county, which
is now the parish of St. Mary, remain and
be called and known by the name of Edge
combe county, and that the part of the said
county, which is now the parish of .Edge
combe, be thenceforth erected into one
district county and called and known by
the name of Halifax."
Raleigh Observer : We learn

party in warren county, some one-other
than Governor Jarvis and Judge Fowle
will have to be nominated. Many talk as
if Fowle and Jarvis are the only two men
in this grand old Commonwealth eligible
to the Gubernatorial chair. Another
correspondent: Is there no way to put some
check on the present "gush" over our State
candidates ? All -of our aspirants are
doubtless good men and excellent citizens,
but surely we have not all these years been
in intimate association with so much superi
eminent genius and still remained in igno

Oxford Torchlight: Little Jack
Barnett, of Roxboro, the champion fisher
man of North Carolina, with two small
boys, caught in four days 8,685 "fat
roaches" out of Barnett's Mill pond. He
spends 200 days out of the 865 every year
in fishing in this pond, and his catch will
average 30,000 "corn fed roaches" per an

from near Henderson, was committed to
jail last Saturday, charged with having
made an infamous assault upon the person
of one Hannah Bullock. Christian
Allen, from Walnut Grove Township, was
lodged in jail Saturday night charged with
destroying and concealing her child.
Coroner Taylor worked the matter up, and
says the evidence is conclusive. To

Freaks of Insanity
Peter Silverthorn, who was committed
to the county jail on Thursday, after un
dergoing the proper examination before a
board of magistrates and physicians, who
decided that he was insane and should be
kept in confinement, ia causing a. good dea
of trouble. The jailor says he kept up
such a noise Thursday night that no one
in the building could sleep, and peoplo in
the neighborhood were disturbed. All
night long he was shaking the bars of his
cell, occasionally breaking out into a blood
curdling laugh, and anon shouting "fire,"
"water," "murder," etc. The manner in
which he served the cell he occupied in the
guard house showed that he must have
been possessed of superhuman strength,
and we are informed by the Chief of Police
that if he had not been removed be would
have forced his way out in less than two
hours. There is no question as to hu in
sanity, we should judge, and thu indica
tions are that it is of such a violent type as
to render it dangerous for him to be al
lowed to go at large. At last accounts
efforts were being made to have him sent
to the insane department at the County
Poor House.
Lecture Thursday Nlcnt.
The lecture of Prof. Von Jaamund be
fore the Historical and Scientific Society,
on Thursday night, on the subject of Ger
many and Bismarck, is pronounced by all
who beard it to have been a very able and
interesting one. The Professor dwelt at
some considerable length on town ana
country life in Germany, and concluded
with an admirable biographical sketch of
Bismarck, commencing with the early life
of the great statesman and following him
in his grand career up to the consolidation
of the German Empire, when be attained
the very acme of bis glory.
The lecture, though quite a long one, oc
cupying upwards of -an hour in its delivery,
was listened to with profound attention
and interest by the large audience of ladies
and gentlemen present.
The election of officers for the ensuing
year, which was to nave taken piace me
