He writes: . . "I beg leave to say in reply .that, though Major, Daniel is the. opposuig counsel in that matter, and that his pecuniary interest is in conflict with mine, yet, knowing as I do the whole case and his relations to it, : I must say most positively, and ox my own personal knowledge, that Major Daniel's course has been characterized by the high est sense of honor and 'propriety. v ; You might probably find some political scribbler td; make up something against him, but in the writer you find one wl an acquaintance of thirty years, extending back to early , boyhood, has never found, even one man who can say aught against J ohn W.

If elegant costumes, good mount ing of a play, a strong, interesting play itself, in which the unities are observed rigidly, and artistic acting, each performer being full up to the measure of demand in every particu lar but without overdoing the part assigned if these constitute excel lence and give interest to an enter tainment, then that of Tuesday night deserves to rank high. Within five years we have not seen so good a company, taken as a whole, as the Hoey-Hardie Combination. Every old theatre goer must have enjoyed the perfomance greatly. -It was such a relief to see a really superior com pany after so many poor ones with a "star" in them. They merit liberal patronage whe re ver they go. Danville for September sold 2,762, 645 pounds of tobacco, and Peters burg 290,079 pounds. During the tobacco year ending September 30th, 30,552,504 pounds were sold in Dan ville, fetching $3,326,957 16. Peters burg probably sold 3,00,000 pounds. Danville is less than three miles from the North Carolina line. Many of the best North Carolina counties sell largely at Danville. Petersburg deals extensively jfitb., this State.; Pro bably bhe-tMr3"6f ' the tobacco sold in these two towns say some 11, 000,000 pounds- was raised in North Carolina, but our people get no credit for it. Virginia dealers ought to keep their books so as to show how much came from their State and how much from other States. Some of the extreme Stalwart or gans are for disregarding all law, usage, and precedent and forcing the New York Senators in before the Senate is even organized. But the" ablest of all Republican papers, the New York Times, cries halt, and says this will never do, and the Times is right. , .

The prevalence of sick ness is ascribed to drying of the salt marshes by the excessive drought. , Another pecu liar condition is the'unprecedenied quantity of fish in the waters of the sound. The waters are fullolthem. ;They are caught here in large quantities with nook and line and in other ways. "Fat-backs are so thick you can hardly push a pole through them. The fish are fat and healthy, but the quan tity is astonnding. From the Nag's Head, pier one catches fish enough in a short time to supply a family for days. ? Raleigh JiTetos- Observer: Messrs. P.

Mr. Moore was the Republican candidate for Attorney General on that ticket last year, and was a lawyer of ability. Lenoir Topic: Week before last a tall, thin man, "wearing an old flax coat and dirty breeches, " with two middle fingers of his left hand off ana a bullet wound in the calf of one of his legs, called on old Will Howell, living half way up Hibnten, and announced himself as Anderson How ell, son of Will's long lost brother, David HowelL Taking into consideration the fact that Will never had a brother David, there would have been some reason for his believing that his would-be-nephew, was mis taken, but old win, as usual, averse to contradiction, let hint have it his own way, but inwardly repudiated the ; relationship. Not so with Will's fair daughter Jane, for the stranger found favor in her sight, and when he left the Howell domicile, having stolen the proprietor's pocket-knife, she hied away , after him. -The most de serted looking habitation in mis county is the jail, not a human being has been seen about it for more than a , month. mt.

Several hundred tons of iron nave arrived at Edenton and a locomo tive will be shipped thither from Norfolk this week. As before announced in these columns through cars from Norfolk : to Edenton will probably be bv the first of November. running at least . The state- ment from the Edenton Clarion, published in another column to the effect that Bate men, the man beaten by Griffin in Per quimans county, had died, is incorrect. He was very severely dealt with, one eye being put out, but is not expected to die. Charlotte Observer: The C. F. & Y. V. Railroad is now graded a distance of twenty-two miles north of Greensboro.

The thermometer at the Stak office yesterday ranged as follows: At 6 a. m., 74; at 9 a. m, 65; at 6. 80 p. m., 62. The long looked for change in the atmosphere 'came at an early hour yes terday morning, and thick coats had to be called into requisition. We learn that a proposition looking to a railroad between Point Caswell and Clinton, Sampson county, is being dis cussed with' much favor at the latter place. A subscriber at Wadesboro writes us as follows: "Does no one in your city sell coal? I cannot find the card of any dealer in that line in your paper." We pause for a reply. The Eastern Baptist Associa tion convened at Magnolia, Duplin county, on Tuesday. Quite a number of our Bap tist friends from this city are in attendance, some going up yesterday morning. The condition of Mr. John Snee den is about as favorable as could be ex pected. The wounds are reported by Dr. J. T. Schpnwald, Jr., as doing nicely.. The worst of the trouble now is in his mental condition, as he seems to be just fully real izing the extent of his injuries. Heavy Rainfalls Probable. It is the idea of many versed in weather matters that the long continued dry and parching' weather that has pre vailed wfll be fully compensated for by heavy rainfalls in the not remote future. This calculation is based on the fact that there has been no general precipitation of the vast volume of vapor accumulated in the sky during a long period of rapid evaporation. In September alone it is esti mated that the amount of water evaporated from the'tropicalAtlantic and the Gulf of Mexico, much of which is destined -to be borne by trade winds over the United States, cannot bo less than ten inches of the sea surface, an amount which, if precipi tated within a short time, would produce torrential rains over the larger part of the country east of the Rocky Mountains. It cannot be said that this water will not fall elsewhere. It is known that India, Algeria and other wide tracts of the world's surface have suffered from want of rain. But it may be suspected "that the sultry and op pressive atmosphere overlying the United States at present contains still a great part of the burden of vapor gathered during the last hot term. 'The putting Off of the day of meteorological equilibrium usually makes the storms which mark its re-establishment the more violent. Kayor Conrt. Christopher Huggins, colored, was ar raigned on the charge of acting disorderly in the neighborhood of Mulberry and Water streets, Tuesday nighC Judgment was sus pended in his case, it being his first offence lately.

I Caroline Franks, colored, implicated with the gentle Victoria in her tricks Of doubtful propriety was required to pay a fine of $2 or be imprisoned for five days. - Robbery ,a Ortonf . v:,, Tuesday' s ; mglbl,4 "beJ ;weeir eleven and twelve o'clock, .a man named Ancrum Bat son roused Justiqa. E,r J- Hall from his slumbers, and said that he wanted a war rant for. the arrest of a man who had robbed him. His statement 'was to the ef- feet that he and another colored man occu pied a house together at Orton plantation, about fifteen .. miles: down the : river.; that they. left, the house ; on Tuesday mornjtng, and : when they, returned to: dinner they found! . that the 'building been broken open ' during their absence and : robbed of between''flve and ten dollars in money, :a coat, a pair of pants .and, several other arti cles: They soon affer warda received information- to the effect that a colored ' man, name unknown, ? who had been " seen loafing about ' the, ' premises for . some days, was the perpetrator of the robbery. When the steamer Passport came along Batson and his friend took' passage; and came to this city, when .they ascertained that the supposed thief had crossed the fer ry and reached the city ahead of them. , Not long afterwards Batson came, : up with, the unknown, . when, the latter informed B. , who had not let on that he was concerned about the robbery, that he was going off on the train. Batson went with him to the depot, thinking the stranger did not know him, and then returned for the warrant. Justice Hall prepared the warrant and depu tized Sergeant Dvis of the police force, to serve it. The officer, accompanied by the two men, hurried to the depot in search of the robber, but when they got mere the "bird had flown." There is ho doubt that the thief knew Batson and understood his tactics. A Pleasant Affair. Capt. B. L. Perry; the hospitable and en terprising proprietor of the Purcell House, gave a splendid supper last night compli mentary to Capt. Trennery, of the British steamer Barnesmore. A few friends of the captain and several prominent citizens were present, and the affair was a pleasing suc cess. Everything was entirely informal and unpretentious, and yet tasteful and elegant, and was greatly enjoyed and apprecia ted by all who were so fortunate as to be present. Toasts were pronounced, speeches made, stories told, and a generally pleasant time had by everybody. We un derstand that several Wilnungtonians espe cially distinguished themselves as orators, but could not ascertain their names. We did hear, however; that a very genial, clever Freight and Passenger Agent (not in the Associated Railway Combination) excelled himself as a story-teller and relator of anec dotes, and that he was closely pressed for first honors by a prominent Federal official, much better known, probably, as an ex-high officer of the city of Wilnyng ton. The two, we understand, contributed greatly to the success of the occasion, and amused and entertained the crowd most delightfully. Many heartfelt wishes were expressed for the safe and speedy voyage of the Bamesmoore and her early return to this port, and the party broke up, enthu siastic over their treatment and the pleasure given them. Porelcn Exports. The British steamship Barnesmore, Capt. Trenery, was cleared from this port for Liverpool, yesterday, by Messrs. Alex. Sprunt & Son, with 4,458 bales of cotton, valued at $178,775-678 casks spirits turpen tine, valued at $16,550, and 550 barrels of rosin, valued at $196,575. This is said to be the largest . and mosti valuable cargo ever shipped from this port by anyone vessel. Jailed, for Coats. A colored man named Ben Bonham was arrested by Special Deputy John Statcher, yesterday, for non-payment of costs in a case of assault, tried some months since in Justice McQuigg's Court. He - resisted and tried to make his escape, but was finally taken to the county jail and locked up. BITER AND MARINE. The British steamer Barnesmore, Capt. Trenery is expected to sail for Liverpool this morning, about 7 o'clock. The steamer Vesta, Capt. Love, will run between this place and Point Caswell for the present, leaving on Friday morning and makinff two trips per . week. As soon as the river rises she will resume to Fayetteville;- her? .trips Capt. iCoste, who was here on the steamer Delight early in September, being en route to Charleston, where the boat was to be used by Gen. Gilmore, in charge of the Government works at that place, met With a severe accident a few days ago. The New Berne Neics says: "The steamer Darl ing arrived here on Wednesday last . and sailed on Thursday for Charleston, S C. This vessel has just been purchased by Capt. Coste for the U, S. Government, and brought from Buffalo to be used in. towing the Government barges and dredges. . .While she was here Capt. Coste met with a pain ful accident, which prevented him from leaving with i the steamer, and came near resulting seriously. He was visiting the officers on board the Revenue Cutter Colfax, and fell from the main deck to the fore castle deck, cutting his head severely and damaging his left eye, by striking against a ladder.

A LUCKY PAIR. The Chicago Tribune says that "at the last drawtajf of the Louisiana State Lottery (August 9th) ticket No. 85,818 drew 810,000. One-half was held by William W. Shaw, a book keeper in the Lakeside Foundry of that city. In March last a proprietor of the foundry drew $1,250 on a half ticket ($1). Mr. Shaw said they would continue to bny a half ticket each month, as he was satisfied the drawing was conducted honorably. He wanted to seeother needy per sons get some of the prizes."... The 137th drawing will take place October 11th, the full particulars of which may be had by addressing M . A. Dau phin, New Orleans, La. A DOWN TOWN MERCHANT, having passed several sleepless nights; disturbed by the agonies and cries of a suffering ohild, and becoming con vinced that Mrs. Wmsldw's Soothing Syrup' was just the article needed, procured a supply for the child.' On- reaching hom and acquainting his wife with what he bad done, she refused to have it administered to the child, as she was strongly in favor of Homoeopathy. That night the childpassed tnsun'ering.and the parents without sleep: Return ing home the day following, the father found the baby still suffering ; and while contemplating an other sleepless night, the mother stepped from the room to attend to some domestic duties and left the father with the child. During her ab senoe he administered a portion of the Soothing Syrup to the baby, and said nothing. That night all bands slept well, and the little fellow awoke in the morning bright and happy. The mother was delighted with the wonderful change, and al though at first offended at the deception prao ticedfupon her, has continued to use the Syrup, and 8iifferintreryinrbbies- and restless nights have disappeared. A single trial of the Syrup never yet failed td relieve the - baby, and over come the prejudices of the mother. Sold by all Druggists. 25 oents a bottle.
