The New YorkCotton Exchange wiil observe Saturday and Monday a holidays. The Republicans in CoDgress are accused of being chiefly responsible fur the two weeks' recess. It was a dodge to cheat tbe Democrats out of time and delay lagislation. A new Democratic Club has been organized in Philadelphia by fifty prominent gentlemen. Among tbe .tuembers we notice the names of ex fiov. Curtin, Col. J. W. Forney, ed ?.ur of Progress, Speaker Randall and reualor Wallace. Atiain, it is reported that the iup vure of the Burdett-Coutt's engage men L is complete and Mr. Bartlett h-z applied for membership in the Bachelors' Club. We hope the rup--uie wili contiuue indefinitely, and i he case le taken out of the newspa pers for all time to come. "Bildad," in bis letter to the State of the date of the 22nd, says of the big row between Weaver and Sparks both Northern fire-eaters: "There been nothing to compare with n since tbe scene that occurred many years &v when, after a fierce debate, Lovejoy, the free-soiler, and Barksdale, tbe nre ea'er, tackled each other, and Lovejoy jerked off Barksdale's wig." There is one part of the Weaver Sparks fracas we had not seen an ac count of. It seems two fighting Texacs were about "to wade in." But here is the account we find in tube special to the Baltimore Ameri can : "Ex Governor Wash Jones, a Green back representative from Texas, loomed up suddenly duriDg the melee and dashed into ihc crowd to Weaver's rescue, pulling off Lis coat and shooting 'Stand back there; if there's going to be a fight I want to take a hand in it.' Mr. Mills, of Texas, a Dem ocrat, went to Sparka' support, shouting as Juoes ran up, 'Drive that man off he's dangerous,' at the same time thrusting bis hand into bis pistol pocket. Both Texans were secured, however, and tbe air re sounded with loud cries for order and for the 8ergeaol-at-arms, Mr. Springer, of Illi nois, jumping upon a chair and shouting wildly, 'Bring in the American eagle 1" Rev. E. S. Gregory, a former edi tor of the Petersburg Index-Appeal, has published a volume of verse that is spoken of very approvingly by some of the Virginia papers. The Richmond Dispatch thinks he is "a real poet." He is a gentleman of good abilities, we know, and we re gretted his retiracy from the pi ess. By the way, he is not the only editor the Index-Appeal has had who wrote very graceful and touching verse. The late George Venable, a man of remarkable taste in letters and an eloquent writer, used to dash off ex cellent Hoes that would have pleased some of the poets born. But, noble hearted, gifted fellow, be died when his sun was at meridian, and he bas been in bis grave for more than eleven years. Another former editor of the Index writes fine verse also, we believe. We refer to Col. W. E. Cameron. . Mr. A. M. Keeley, its first editor, ought to write capital verse for he is an imaginative and eloquent writer. VOL. XXVII. NO. 79. The Brush electrio light ws tested in New York on' Monday evening, with satisfactory results. The ex periment is to continue for a month and the lamps are to burn all night. The question of expense, &c, is thus to be ascertained. At Menlo Park Edison gave an exhibition of his long promised light, for the benefit or tbe Mayor and Common Council of New York. More than three hundred lamps gave forth mellow light, tinged with enough of yellow to : give relief to the intense brightness generally characteristic of electric lights. The Tribune has an interesting account of the experiment, from which we copy the following : "A lamp was exhibited burning in water, and various experiments were made to show bow completely tbe system was under control. By a motion of the band a quar ter of all the lamps were extinguished and then lighted agaia. It was made apparent that 'Mr. Edison bad redeemed his promise of producing a successful electric, lighting system, and it was stated that the cost to consumers of the light would not be more than $1 50 for 3.000 candles of light, as against $2 25 now paid in New York for gas, while it might be even less. The visi tors were delighted, and seemed to regard Mr. Edison's success as assured. George Eliot is dead. This an nouncement will cause regret in the English-speaking world. Without extravagance it may be said that the greatest female novelist of the world has died. She ranks with the great masters of fiction-r-with J3alza, and George Sand and Scott and Dickens and Thackeray. This in not the place to enter upon a review of her very remarkable productions, and to at tempt an analysis of her powers. We have long held that she was the greatest woman who ever wrote Eng lish, and, so far as we know, the most vigorous female intellect the world has seen. Her works will long live. Her poetry will have a shorter existence. She had a high creative intellect, was a consummate master of style, had a profound insight into human character, and has pro duced works that will be the delight of all for geiit-rattous to come who have taste and cultivation enough to relish the masterpieces' of fiction. She died without religious" convic tions, being a disciple of August Coiute, and was some sixty-one years of age. Capt. James Barron Hope, editor of the Norfolk Virginian, aud au thor of a volume of graceful poems, pays Father Ryan, the poet-priest, a neat tribute in the following: "If we were asked to point out the great. est Ivric poet in America, we should at once indicate Father Ryan. He possesses all the great qualities which make a bard. n ia a. nnei bom. not made: and some of his effusions will live as long as the lan guage.' spirits Turpentine Two tobacco factories are to be operated at High Point. Oxford Torchlight: Houses are in demand, both dwellings and store houses, and yet we see new buildings being constantly erected. This speaks well for the future of the town. Raleigh Recorder: "There is a Baptist in North Carolina who could give Wake Forest College $20,000 and have $100,000 left." Eeligipus Herald. We wiBh be would opine to the front and put dova $20,000 for tbe College, and more than twenty thousand Baptists would love and honor him. Graham Gleaner : We were pained to learn on last Saturday, of the death of Mr. Z. T. Dickey. He died on last Friday morning and was buried at Union Church on Saturday. Mr. Dickey was a member of tbe Alamance Bar. He bad been a practicing attorney for several years. Raleigh Visitor:. W. Ev Parish, Deputy Sheriff of Warren county, brought up the following named colored prisoners to the penitentiary to-day: Armstead Pitchford, two years, larceny; Sam Moofe, two years, larceny; Homer Wiggins, two years, larceny; Moses Brown, three years, larceny ; Eaton Carpenter, eighteen months, larceny. Greensboro JPatriot: Is there a syndicate organized for tbe purpose of gob blicg up the North Carolina Railroad. If so. who are tbe parties comprizing it? We hear some ngly rumors which we trust are falge in Nashville, Tenn., Novem ber 18, 1880, after several months illness, Kev. J. W. 8hellon,aied iu the 59th year of bis age. Mr. Shelton was a native of Guilford county. N. C, from whence he removed tbiriy-fiveyeara ago to West Ten nessee. Asheville Citizen: The people of Macon county are jubilant over the pros pect of a railroad. Dr. W. L. Love, Pres ident of R. O. 8. L., is now attending a meeting in Atlanta. The survey has been completed and the passage through Smokey Mountain is far more accessible than was expected. The W. N. C. R. R., is having new workshops erectedMfSalis bury, and is turning out good substantial coaches for the road. A new and elegant mail car for the road is about finished. The following, front ft circular letter of Prof. Dabney, of the University, refers to the Agricultural Experiment Sta tion : "The Station is thoroughly equipped and prepared to do work as stated in this report. May I ask you to call attention to this fact and to tbe advantages which it offers ? The analyses of some drinking waters reported upon In the, same paper illustrates tbe character of one very im portant line of wotk we are' doing. Tbe jesults show that there is .great need of attention to this matter. If we ttay judge f torn the samples already examined there WILMINGTON, are thousands of peopl9 in North Carolina suffering daily injury from this source." Goldsboro Messenger: From all indicationswe shall probably have another interesting railroad squabble during the approaching session of the General Assem bly. It is already hinted in certain quar ters that matters affecting the Western N C. Road, growing out of the Best sale, will come up for discussion, also that additional legislation will be demanded by the pres ent owners, but what chiefly concerns us in this section is the disposition to be made of the Atlantic & N. C. Railroad, and we look forward to the Governor's message concerning this road with more than ordin ary interest. The Raleigh larmer & Me chanie says: "Most of our Sm e journals recall with soreness of pocket the Char lotte Advertising Agency of J. O. H. Nut tall, Printer, Poet, - Peddler, Jack of all Trades, etc., about the beginning of the present decade. The Charlotte Obserm states that Nuttall went to Dallas, Gaston county, where bas followed tbe business of watch-making for a number of years. Here he met Miss Katie Rawlings, the daughter of a Northern Methodist preacher, sent there to evangelize the natives. Katie was pretty, a good singer, and 22 years old, but though 4f ree, white, and twenty-one,' she does not appear to have reached tbe years of dis cretion." The upshot was that Nuttall left a wife and several children and went off with the Northern school-marm," and they passed for man and wife as Mr. H. R. Fountain and lady. Hand him around. Charlotte Observer: John Sandifer, colored, living a short distance beyond Mr. W. B. Dowd's, three miles southwest of this city, bad his house de stroyed by fire Sunday evening about sun down. Copper Knob mining stock has been up to 14 and down to 9, with sales of 50,000 shares.

On the night of the 30th she will take the part of "Camille." Active operations have commenced at the Alpha cotton factory. Messrs. J. B. Stafford. Martin Lewis, T. S. Banlz and C. E. Roberts, of Baltimore, are in the city for tbe purpose of inspecting their property, "The Baltimore & North Caro lina," formerly the Ray, mine. They ex press themselves much pleased with the progress at tbe .mine. It is now being worked with five stamps, and it is proposed to increase tbe number to twenty. The production of this mine has in former days been very large. It is said that the former proprietor, as shown by tbe records of the mint here, realized $250,000 in coin and bullion from it. Charlotte Observer : Snow in Henderson county is reported seven inches deep. Prof. J. P. Latimer, of David son College, has returned from Europe and was in tbe city yesterday. A negro was killed night before last at tbe house of Phil. Ross, colored, in Sharon township, six miles from town on the Providence road. He was stabbed at a frolic there.' Yesterday morning, at 10:35. S. J. Rowland, a young man about twenty years old, tird-masler at the Air Line depot, was crushed between two cars into the space of a few inches. He had coupled the cars and jumped back, when the pro jecting end of. the side sill of a flat car be longing to the Western & Atlantic road and the corner of a Richmond & Danville box car.at which was placed the ladder, caught bim in the chest just over the heart. As tbe cars rebounded from tbe collision, the al ready dying man fell from between them, and was taken up and carried to the round house. He died in forty-five minutes, a few gasps only indicating the agony be suffered. A gentleman from the mountains reports preparations for the building, at Brevard, of steamboats to be launched on the French Broad, which is now open from Brevard, in Transylvania, to Mud Creek, in Henderson county, a dis tance of twenty-eight miles. The govern ment work is complete for that distance and operations will be resumed in the spring. The boats to be built will be owned by a stock company which has been formed for tbe navigation of tbe river. The government estimate for tbe completion of the work to Asheville is $1,000,000. Mecklenburg Presbytery convened in special session at the Second Presbyterian Church yesterday morning at 11 o'clock. The object of the meeting was to receive the report of a committee of the Presbytery appointed to examine lata the charges of slander and falsehood against Rev. J. T. Plunkett, present supply of Steel Creek Church. A resolution was adopted to refer the report of the committee containing the evidence on the charges, to the Nashville Presby tery, of which the accused was a licentiate. A resolution that he be not allowed to fill the Steel Creek pulpit until the action of the Nashville Presbytery be taken, was voted down. JES CITY. NEW ADVKttTISElYI HTUtS- Mukson Good chances lost. J. C. Munds Farina Cologne. R. M. McIotibe Pretty things. W. H. Gbeen Gifts for tbe season. Wanted to Marry. JVC. Millis, Esq., one of our Justices of the Peace, says that some eager and ex cited eandidate for matrimony came to his house at the very unseasonable hour of midnight, a few nights since, and when he got up and went to the door in bis sight clothes to see what was wanted, he was met with the request that he would dress himself as quickly as possible and marry him. The 'Squire told him hu couldn't think of it; the night was too cold; but the other persisted in his request, saying he would bring his girl there for the purpose. The 'Sqnire, however, was immovable in bis determination not to tie the knot under such unfavorable auspices, and the disap pointed swain finally departed. Youthful Offenders. Two small colored girls were arrested Wednesday evening and committed to jail under a warrant from Justice Millis, on tbe complaint of a merchant on Second street, who stated that he sent a little girl home with a basket containing a number of articles, when she was set upon by tbe two girls ia question and beaten and the basket and it's contents broken up. The two youthful offenders remained in jail Wednes day night, and yesterday they were taken dut and received a severe lecture from the magistrate, when they were released, the mother of the girls promising to chastise them properly. NG- N. C. FRIDAY. DECEMBER 24, 1880. Iiocal uott. Cotton receipts yesterday 378 bales. Now for horns, fire-crackers and "sich." One more day, and then Christmas ! General Allah Rutherford is here on a visit from Washington. Services will be held at the Fifth Street Methodist Church to-morrow (Christmas) morning, at 9 o'clock. The attention of tax-payers is called to the notice of the City Clerk and Treasurer, which appears in this issue. Further particulars of the Indianj Creek disaster, on the Carolina Centra Railway, are given in our telegraphic columns. Attachments are being served by the Sheriff on employers for tbe tax of their employee. Walk np and settle, gen tlemen, and save costs. The mail agent killed and con sumed in the burning ruins of the cars on the occasion of the accident at the Indian Creek trestle, on the C. C. Railroad, on Wednesday lBst, was Mr. John F. Bloom, an elder brother of Mr. H. H. Bloom, of this city, whose residence was Charlotte. Pender superior court . This Court was expected to adjourn Wednesday evening. The only criminal cases of importance disposed of were those of Rafe Bryant and Aaren Tate, both col ored, chareed with burglary. It was shown to the satisfaction of tbe Court that the charge in neither case would hold good, and the defendants were therefore allowed to submit to a verdict of larceny, Bryant being sentenced to five and Tate to seven years in the Penitentiary.- In the case of Bryant it was shown that be got possession of the key to the bouse of a mau in whose employ he had been for Borne time previ ously, entered the same and took a suit of his clothing; that be then took tbe man's horse out of tbe stable, saddled him and rode him to some kind of a public gather ing, dressed in his borrowed plumage, but afterwards returned the clothing and the horse to their proper places. In sentenc ing him, His Honor, Judge Gudger, inti mated to tbe prisoner that be was lucky to escape with his life, as the crime under the statutes, so fur as related to the taking of the horse, could have been made a cap ital offence. Aaron Tate's crime consisted in breaking into a bouse in tbe day time and carrying off a number of articles, the property of the owner of the building. Tbe remainder of the time of the Court wai taken up in the hearing of civil cases. Hlsbwar Hobbery. A young white man by the name of A. Hufbam, a section band on the Carolina Central road, was in this city Wednesday and purchased quite a number of articles for Christmas, valued altogether at about $27, which he took up to the depot and found that the train had left him. He then made up bis mind that be would walk to bis borne, which is near to the section house at Frank Jones', not far from this city. He had arrived within but a short distance of the eeciion house when he was knocked down and robbed of his purchases, and it is supposed that a young colored man, apparently about 18 or 20 years' of age, and badly dressed, who started from Wilmington at the same time with Huf bam.was tbe guilty party. Mr. Hufham was badly hurt and stunned by the blows given him, aBd it is supposed that tbe watch and money on bis person would have shared tbe fate of the Christmas plunder bad the robber not been frightened from a further pursuit of bis purpose. Remember ibe Poor. While participating in the enjoyment of rich food and the numerous delicacies of the season, which you will have placed before you to-morrow, a suitable occasion will be presented for remembering the poor and destitute around you, many of whom are not only suffering from the cold, but may perchance have to content them selves with a cold morsel of bread unless they are remembered by their more fortu nate fellow-creatures. A platefull, which you could easily spare from your well sup plied table, would mske many a poor or sick heart happy. We beg of you ye who have tbe means, and who have been tbe recipients of so many blessings to think and act npon these suggestions. Indian creek Treaile. The recent disaster on the Carolina Cen tral belongs to that class of accidents which no amount of precaution can prevent. The Indian! Creek trestle had been recently thoroughly repaired and was in excellent condition. It is said that after crossing tbe trestle, and while ascending a grade, the cars broke loose from the engine, ran back on the trestle and jumped the track, carry ing with them a portion of the timbers. ailed of Paralvala. -'Ai Mr, Sylvester Petteway, a member of the police force, who was stricken with paraly sis on the night of Friday, the 10th inst., and bad to be taken to his home, breathed his last early yesterday morning.

On Hli Travels. Tbe Private Henry Hammond alluded to in our telegraphic columns this morning, in a dispatch from Washington, is said to have victim'izad the First National Bank of this city to the tune of about $206. He was in this city on Saturday, and conside rably intoxicated. It seems that Hammond was acting in the capacity of clerk in tbe Quartermaster' office at Fort Johnston, under Lieutenant Niles, and during the latter's absence he stole the Government checks and transportation requests referred to, on the latter of which be can keep on travelling ad infinitum, or until be is fairly entitled to Grant's soubriquet of "Great American Traveller," unless stopped in his wild career by the Btrong arm of the law. At last accounts from Ibe enterprising dis ciple of Uncle Sam he was trying to nego tiate a cbeck at Raleigh. Ihe Embezzlement case. Mr. M. A. McNair, who was arrested in this city on Wednesday last, on a warrant from a Justice of the Peace of Columbus county, charged with embezzlement, went to Wbiteville yesterday to answer to tbe ac cusation, but upon bis arraignment tbe prosecutor failed to appear and the ac cused was discharged. Mr. McNair re turned to this city last night. He says that tbe affair grew out of a business transac tion between himself and Mr. John T. Harris, of Columbus county. He claims to have been badly treated in tbe matter, and fs naturally very indignant thereat. Very Acceptable. Alluding to a quick and comfortable trip to Wilmington on. the C. C. Railway last week, friend McDiarmid, of the Robe sonian, Bays: "To passengers who have so long been accustomed to long, noisy, rough and mixed trains, tbe substitution of air brakes and quick time is very acceptable. We are glad to see that the management of this road is generally commended for their enterprise, and we hope and believe that, travel will be largely increased." We are glad to bear it.
