It is swift and awful punishment Albert Pike's pathetic poem, writ ten twenty years ago, is now. going the rounds. It is called "Every Year" and may be found in some school books. Drs. Agnew, Hamilton and Bliss will consider, it is said, that $25,000 each should be paid for services in attending upon the late President. Dr. Agnew says he lost actually $9,500 from his regular income, and Dr. Bliss says he lost $10,000. The spot where the late President fell when the assassin Guiteau shot him down, has been marked by a mar ble tablet. The shooting occurred, it will be remembered, in the waiting room at the Baltimore depot in Washington. The following de scribes the tablet: "It is of American statuary marble, and consists of a sill resting upon two corbls, outside of which are two pilasters repre senting the axe and fasces. Two draped flags form a canopy over the inscription in goia letters, "James Abram liarneia. pres ident of the United States, shot July 2, 1881," and the whole is surmounted by an eagle with outstretched wings, holding in his talons a bundle of arrows and laurel eaves." The receipts of cotton at Charlotte np to December 1, 1881, amount to 13,551 bales. For the same time last year, 30,873 bales. This is a heavy decrease, and indicates either an un precedentedly short crop in the sec- tionributary to Charlotte or that the cotton trade of that place is ra pidly falling The New York Protectionists are dissatisfied with the action of the late convention. They say if it had not been managed badly Judge Kel ly's whiskey and tobacco plank ould not have been thrown over board. According to the New York respondent of the Philadelphia ledger, they say: The votes of Congressmen from the West and Southwest, it is said, will be needed to secure any reduction of internal ies mat may be urged at the coming ses sion, and thp ia thnt without 'free whiskey' and 'free tobacco,' it will be diuicult, if- not impossible, to obtain that support.

Dr Yates has been the pastor of Front Street Methodist E. Church during the last four years. We desire to bear witaess to his great accepta bleness to his own people, and the higlresteem in which he is held in the community at large. He is one of the first men in ability in the North Carolina Conference. He is both a student and a thinker. He does not run - in ruts. . His mind is far too fruitful and well-stored for such tame work. He is very deliberate "in speech, but animated enough to be effective and to hold the close atten tion of his congregation always. He never bellows and paws the. pulpit board and. rants. He has far too much taste and judgment for that sort of work. He knows it is light ning that scathes and rives. He is, in a word, a most entertaining and instructive preacher, and utters many very striking and memorable thoughts. & He wears excellently. Raleigh is ,to be congratulated. We never heard Mr. Wood, who succeeds Dr. Yates, preach, lut he is a man of good parts and true manli ness of character. The new Pre siding Elder, Rev. Robert O. Burton, lives in Halifax county. He is a Virginian by birth. He is now some sixty-eight years of age, we suppose.. We have heard him more than fifty times. We can not say how he preaches now, but twenty years ago he was a power in the pul pit. In fact at that time without being a man of high eloquence he was one of the very best preachers to whom we ever listened. Clear as a bell, deliberate, solemn, impressive in manner, with a style singularly terse and exact, he was at times a preacher of very remarkable force and attractiveness. We have stowed away in our memory five sermons we have heard which impressed us as the five greatest, and it is just to Mr. Burton to say that he preached two of them. But that was a long time ago and the natural force may be abated. New Xelegraph Company. New York Bulletin. Mr. James R. Keene stated Wed nesday that a meeting was held at Delmonico's Tuesday evening for the organization of a postal telegraph company. The project was not in such a shape that he could go into particulars at present, ana ne aia not wish to make any statement as yet on the subject It is stated that the company own a patent for making a compound steel and copper wire of great coriducticity, and will use au tographic, automatic duplex instru ments, capable, it is claimed, of transmitting 1,000 words per minute both ways.

All Germans are invited. Chairman Bagg, of the Board of County Commissioners, has requested the Sheriff to secure a goods box and have it cut up into particles of a convenient size, for the lawyers to whittle on next term of Court, in order to save the tables. Rev. J. B. Taylor left this city on last Monday evening for Culpeper, Va., whither he was called to marry some young friends. He has returned to the city, and will occupy the pulpit of the First Baptist church this morning and night, as usual. The only case that claimed the attention of Mayor Smith yesterday morn ing was that of a colored boy named Jerry Williams, arrested on suspicion, who was released without undergoing a formal tritl, there being no evidence to convict him of any criminal intent. A good many would be glad to see the law in regard to cruelty to animals more rigidly enforced. Cases are occurr- insr on the streets everv day. Even some of the little boys pound their goats unmer cifully, which is but one of the results of the examples set them by their elders. And still we hear of no steps being taken to utilize the appropriation for the improvement of the Upper Cape Fear, and in the meantime steamers are having their bottoms snagged and other incon veniences are being suffered, which could be remedied by a judicious expenditure of tfce funds in question. The "Land or Flowers." At the request of many friends, Rev. Thos. D. Pitts, of St. John's Episcopal church, has decided to deliver a lecture, at the Opera House, in this city, on Thursday evening next, the 8th inst, taking Florida, the "land of flowers,',' as his theme. Mr. Pitts is thoroughly conversant with the climate, productions, characteristics, beau ties and resources of the little State upon which so many eyes are now centered, "and is therefore abundantly able to deliver both noAful and entertaining lecture on me subject. .
