An immense congregation was pro
sent in Richmond at the funeral ser
vices of the late Rev. Dr. Planter.
The services were solemn and impres

Drs. Prestou, Hoge and Curry. Dr.

Dr. Curry is described as being pe
culiarly eloquent. We make room
for the following from the Dispatch's
report :
"His fiptcial admirers were wont to call
him god-liks that he was a representative
of Nature's nobility. Truly it was so pre
eminently with Dr. Plumer, with his state
ly step, eagle eye, massive brow, erect
stature, eraccful cairiage, snewr locks and
flowing beard.
"He did not remind him ef Moses, but
he always associated him with Abraham.
Tbe heathen wools' have worshipped him
and deified him. Verily, the slements were
so mixed in him thai Nature might stand up
before all the world and say, This was a
man !
"Dr. Cuny next spoke saoet eloquently of
lh marvalloua proper tioa between tbe
physical and intellectual ' man. He de
rUed Dr. i'lumur as caving pessessea tne
ifrplicity of child, tbe tenderness of a

ferred a'.ao In th mutt beautiful words to
the rare sad a wet partnership of mind and

The New York dry goods market

veryjnear the dimensions of an ordinary

ing the idea of a snake tied Into an appar

the potato from Brunswick, noticed a day

LAST NIGHT'S SIBBTINO.
SPEBCBfiS BY MBESBS. SHACKELFORD AMD-
McLEAN-A LARGE CROWD-GREAT KN
THU8IASM, Ac.
The largest, most enthusiastic and suc
cessful meeting of the Democracy except
one that has occurred this campaign, was
held at the stand on the corner of Third
And Dock streets last night. The number
of people present and the general interest
manifested in the affair most gratifyingly
indicated that the work of, the past few
weeks is beginning to bring forth the re
suits expected, and that our people are be
coming, thoroughly aroused to the issue at
stake.
The Cornet Concert Club, followed by
quite a lengthy informal procession march
ea from tbe furcell House aoout nine
o'clock, and, arriving at tbe stand, ren
dered delightful music, after which Major
D. J. Devane arose and introduced
Mr. John W. Shackelford, our can
didate for CoBgresa, taking occasion
in so doing to earnestly urge tho
necessity of active, unceasiug effort on the
part of tbe people, and alluding gracefully
to the claims of Mr. Shackelford for the
kindest consideration of the audience.
Mr. Shackelford came forward amidst
loud calls and cheers, and he gave a speech
that caught the attention of tbe crowd im
mediately, and well pleased them through
out the hour that it was continued. It was
a speech thai all could comprehend, and
the earnestness of tbe speaker, his fund of
anecdotes and apt quotations kept every
body amused and entertained. Alluding
brkfly in commenting to tbe labors of the
canvass he had made with the Republi
can and Greenback candidates, he ee
lightened us on the topics they discussed
and the satisfactory manner in which tbe
discussions bad resulted to our benefit. He
denounced the Republican party in North
Carolina, and reviewed its history, bring
ing in Judge Buxton's connection with
its infamous career, and said its acts
in North Carolina were typical of
the party wherever it had been in
power; contrasted tho difference in the
course of the Democratic party since It
had been in power, and showed tbe tran
scendent importance of retaining it in
control of affairs; announced that if elected
he would do all in his power to advance
the interests of Wilmington, strive to secure
appropriations for the improvement of her
harbor, and also to render adjacent streams
and rivers navigable, that they might act
as feeders to her future greatness; asked
that our people should remember that the
result in this district might decide as to
which party would have the majority in
the next House of Representatives; ap
pealed to the Greenbackers who had left
tbe Democratic party to return to tbe fold,
and not, by drawing off votes from him,
help to elect a Republican; touched on
National and State issues, and warmly
counselled the election of the candidates
of the Democracy; urged that our business
men devote next Tuesday to the good oi the
country by closing their stores and work
ing for tbe success of tbe Democratic ticket.
Concluding, Mr. Shackelford, said that his
election depended -on the efforts of the
citizens of Wilmington if they but did
their duty success was assured. Princi"
pies, not man, were the issues, and he
begged all Democrats to sink their differ
ences and help to maintain the principles
they had so long cherished by votiag for
the candidates of the party .Thanked the
audience and retired.. .
Three cheers were then proposed and
enthusiastically given for John W, Shack
elford.
After a lively air from the band, Mr. J.
H. Currle took tbe stand, and in a neat Ut
ile speech introduced D. H, McLean, Esq.,
of Harnett, Democratic candidate for Dis
trict Elector.
This gentleman briefly alluded to. bis con
nection With the people of our section, the
warm ties that bound him to our city and
inhabitants, and then commenced a stirring
address in behalf not only of the Presiden
tial candidate whom, he directly repre
sented, but as well in futberanee of the
claims of our State and Congressional nomi
nees. He touched briefly, gracefully and
forcibly upon all tbe leading points of the
contest and was listened to most attentively.
He .is a yotisg man of fine presence and ex.1
ceptional ability as a speaker, and his
effort last night was warmly praised on all
sides. It was lit the nature of a running
fire all along the line, and had. a dash; and
sparkle Aout it that created the greatest
interest and enthusiasm. Mr. McLean con
cluded with a warm endorsement of Mr.
Shackelford's proposal for the closing of
stores on Tuesday and the devotion of the
day to the success of the great Democratic
party, jand thanked tbe crowd for their
kindness and courtesy.
The meeting then adjourned amidst tbe
utmost enthusiasm. The party in this city is
certainly greatly to be congratulated on tbe
success of the demonstration and the good

B1VBH AND niKINB,
The Norwegian Barque Nordtnrtjold,
from Bermuda for this port, and consigned
toMr. C. P. Mebane, was reported in be
low yesterday afternoon.
The opinion seems now to .veryjgen-
erally prevail, among those conversant
with the facts, that tbe schooner W. P.
Cto, which sailed from Philadelphia for
this port on or About tbe 30th of Septem
ber, was lost in the gale of Friday, the 8th
of October. The Revenue Cutter Ooffaz
brings news that pilots report that tbe vesi
sel In question was off Hatteras on the
evening of the 8th, and that she stood off
as the gale freshened and was not sighted
any more. It baa now been three weeks
since the gale, and lt is likely that if she
had survived it she would have been heard
from ere this. The home port of tbe IF.
P. Cox is Newbern, N. C, snd she regis
ters 138 tons.

child. On reaching home and aaqnalntlns: hU wife
with what ha had done, she refused to have it ad
ministered -to the ebild, as she was strongly i favor
of Homoeopathy. That night the chud passed In

home the day following, the father foond the baby
still werse, and while oentemplattng another sleep
less night, the mother stepped from the room to at
tend to some demeatlo douee, sad left the father
with the child. Paring her absence he admlalatered
a portion of the Aoothutg Syrup to the baby; and
said nothing. That night all hands slept welL aad
the. little fellow awoke in the morning- bright and
happy. The mother was delighted with the sadden
and wonderful change, and although atom offend
