Gen. Hancock's letter of acceptance
is to be an elaborate production. The
well informed correspondent of the
Philadelphia Ledger referring to him
says :
"The General, it may be remarked here,
ia one of the most urbane and accessible of
men, and it will be well for him if he does
not permit these and other excellent quali
ties of .bead and heart to be taken advan
tage of by the crowds of New York politi
cians of all sorts that are now anxious to
take him in hand. The unfortunate expe
riences of Gen. Harrison, and Gen. Taylor
and Gen. Scott, under not dissimilar cir
cumstances, are valuable admonitions,
which, if he will heed now, will save him a
deal of trouble of one kind and another
hereafter."

approached a man while at work in a filed.
He was immediately ordered to leave, when
he protested and produced the law to read
to the refractory man. He was violently
seized, hurled to th ground and beaten

- The Raleigh Visitor gets this
off: We learn from Mr. M. Ctiapell, who
resides near Kelvin Grove, iu this county,
that a whirlwind passed through that vi-
cinity on last Wednesday, which waa the
most remaikable he ever neartl or saw of.
Mr. Cuapell was a quarter of a mile of, and
noticed that the whirlwind became station
ary in bis cotton field. He heard a loud re-
port like thunder, and saw fire and smoke
issuing fiom the top which was one bun
dred I eel high. Ho says he went over to
it, and for the spaca of four feet wi-Je and

North Carolina. He took an active part in
Sunday schools, concerts, etc., and ren
dered himself sufficiently popular to marry
a respectable young woman. After his
marriage he soon forgot his high profes sions
and spent much of bis time in
drunkenness and idleness. Within the last
few weeks it has been ascertained beyond
a doubt that Roberts has a wife and two
children near Franklin. Virginia."
Raleigh Observer of Sunday:
What the lawyers call a "long range" case
will be tried before one of our magistrates
to-morrow. In 1849 a man left an injured
horse with a party now living in this city,
and borrowed a sound beast, which he took
off, promising to return it in a few days.
The days lengthened into months and
years, but neither - horse nor man ever re
appeared. A day or so since the owner of
the horse carried off saw the loa missing
man in one of the hotels here, and though
thirty-one years had passed since the oc
currence, recognized him in. an instant. A
warrant waa issued for him, and the case
set for trial to-morrow. A letter has
been received by the Governor stating that
a memorial window is to be placed in
Westminster Abbey, London, in honor of
Sir Walter Raleigh, whose name this city
bears. The letter requests a contribution
of $25 on the part of this city, for the erec
tion of the window.
Statesvillo Landmark: The
railroad campaign commences in Davie
this week. A proposition to subscribe
$50,000 to the Virginia Midland Railroad is
shortly to be submitted to the people of that
county at the polls, and the matter rwill be
thoroughly canvassed beforehand in every
township of the county by competent
speakers. The ghost of slavery is
ever present with the darkey. It is stated
that the movements of Census-taker Good
son, of this township, have excited a genu
ine alarm among a certain portion of them
in ibis place. We learn that a . number of
them held a meeting a few nights ago, in
which it was set forth that Gen. Grant hav
ing been defeated, and the Democrats hav
ing already started a man around tto get the
names of all the darkeys with a view to
putting them back into slavery, it was nec
essary that they take some steps for mutual
protection. Some farmers say that
the acreage in cotton in this county is
greater this year than last by 75 per cent.
Mr. George Allen gives good
reports of trucking around New Berne. It
has nearly doubled the price of land. Mr.

worth $676 on 5t acres r B. P. Justice $504
on 4 acres; Dr. Small wood $118 on If

yield of peas per acre was obtained by a
colored man, Jesse Brooks. He planted
nine acres on bis own farm a few miles
I south of New Berne, and when nearly ready
to pick be sold two acres or the crop at o
per acre, and gathered from the other seven
acres 921 boxes of peas, the average being

was blown down, and in the case of a
house belonging to a Mr. Greer, which bad
been deserted by the inmates, who left the
door insecure, the wind burst it open, scat

SEMI-CENTENNIAL STATEMENT. It is fifty
years since the business of Messrs. B. A T. Fair
oanka A Co., scale manufacturers, was established,
and in celebrating their semi centennial anniversa
ry, they have the satisfaction of knowmg,that, oat
of a little basiness established in 1830 in Northern
Vermont, there has grown up an industry which
now reaches to all parts of the world. The scales
bearing the Valrbaaks' stamp are as wen known to
day in Moscow, in Hong Kong, in Bombay, in Lon
don, aa in the cities of our own country.
The .principle established at the outset by the
manufacturers of Fairbanks' Scales that nothing
but perfect scales, irrespective of their cost, should
ever leave the factory has been followed out to the
E resent time, and the result haa been that each year
as seen an increasing demand for the Fairbanks'
standard.
