THiKSDAY EVEMNG, APRIL 14, 1S59.
IV vtsHMKnt for Crime.—The execution of
tour ui' i* line time in Baltimore is certainly a
reinaikable event. It h:ui probably not had its
parallel in this country for years, if ever. And
tlit'v wert’ all young men too, but hardened in
jissipated habits—what is familiarly called rowdy
ism It is a shocking spectacle, even at a dis-
taiat. Hut it is manifest that it wa.s a necessary
ixauiple. teaching that thero is not, as has been
too generally supjHJsed of lat.*, an absolute immu
nity from the death penalty. During the last
vear there were sixty-four arrests for murders
in the city of New York, but not a solitary con
viction. Nothing could show in a clearer light
than this, that an example of exemplary justice
was needed—some dreadful warning to the young
men of the country, who are running riot in all
the great cities. We hope and believe, from the
tone of the Northern press, that these Baltimore
t'xecutions will have a good effect. The firmness
with which the civil and military authorities of
New York performed their duty in the Astor
I’laeo riots preserved the poacc oi’ that city for
uianv years. It is only within the hist year or
twi' that the mob spirit has again exhibited itself;
and now it will not be long before another such
, xauiple will be necessary, even to the sacrifice of
life, as then, among those who will be no other
wise ro.ctrained. We have no doubt that the re-
t'usd of jurie.-! and (lovernors to hang murderers
has cost the lives of hundreds of good citizens of
the I’nited i^t tes within the last five years. Let
ihtrc b» no more of such cruel kindness. When
a man commits a deliberate murder let him be
hanged for it, for the sake of society, for the sake
if him who might be guilty iu the absence of
punishment, as well as of the victims of such
guilt.
The Baltimore American has the following ex-
lellt-nt observations on the occasion;—
••Who of us can forget that there was a time in
the history of these outlaws, when they were in
nocent children, and when a prophecy of such a
termination to their earthly career would have
been regarded a.s an impossible horror. But there
t.> one lesson which may be gathered from their
melancholy history, thi? drama whose last scene
is rnacted upon the gallows. These men did not
leap from their cradles armed ruffians. The
L-row+h ■'f ’.he tender nursling into the truculent
Jesperal>i was slow and gradual, and if their lives
rere wri'cen, i! would not be difficult to trace
laoh «tep iu their downward progress. The pro
vable absence (.>f parental restraints, free inter
course with wicked associates, and as they advan
ced in life, habitual attendance at the low drink
ing shop and the filthy brothel, and at la.st—
as the graduating school of inJaui}’—the political
>;lub, whose hideous insignia were the billy, the
inife and tht‘ revolver.
‘■'There are multitudes of young men in this
^ rumunity to whom the events of to-day should
b>^ an elociuent and a solemn warning They fur
nish a plain o mmentary upon the truth, that
••the way of the transgressor i.s hard!" The line
tffat separates between vice and crime is a narrow
line, and easily passed, and both vices and crimes
have penalties annexed that are rarely evaded.
The motive to honest living which we would urge
.3 not one drawn fro.u the cver-preseut reality of
a law that punishes—though this is a motive of
terrible power and significance. But we would
particularly refer to the fatal force of habit, which
i.'j coustantly operating and constantly growing in
power, i’rom the first departure from the prop
er course, each step in the downward road is
easier passed than any that preceded, while the
return to a better path is perpetually growing
more and more impossible. The gradations in a
life of wickedne.'S, especially in cities, are well
marked from the first stolen hour spent on the street
corner with rowdy companions, through the club-
room, the bar-rooni, down to the condition of the
armed bully. Let a young man once become fa
miliarized with the revolver; and there i.s but a
step between him and the halter. He who habit
ually carries a deadly weapon hidden upon his
person is already a murderer in everything but the
act, and the act only waits for an opportunity and
a little more whiskey than usual.
•‘May we not go a step beyond our ordinary
^.'ourse to-day, and appeal to those of our readers
who are fathers to exerci.«e a watchful and cease
less control over their sons. I f we go too far—
if the matter is one beyond our province—we only
point to the horrible furniture in the Jail yard
for our excuse. These youths are plastic in your
hands, and you can mould them into any shape
you will. Your sons want no higher example
than yours, they recognize no higher authority
than yours. If you teach them by precept and
practice that the groggery is a proper place to
frequent—that a pistol is an indispensable article
uf dress—that human life is a thing of little val
ue—that human laws were made to be evaded,
and divine laws were made to be defied—if you
tell them by your words and acts that it is un
manly to dread the penalties threatened against
transgression—that the retributions of another
world are myths and fables—it may be that tod
in His vengeance will allow them to believe youl”
A Short Memory.—Mr. Letcher, democratic
^audidat3 for Governor of Virginia, is reported as
having said in his speech at Finca.stle, and again
at Staunton, that he had never voted, in Congress,
for Cornelius Wendell for Printer, but that his
flection took place while the black republicans
wore in power, and the democrats had no respoii-
•‘ibility in the matter. The Kichiaond Whig
shows that the House voted, ri? a vor/;^ eleven
titnes for Printer between the 6th and the LSth
of February and that on every one of the
''levcn votes .^l^. Letcher’s name is recorded in
tavi>r of Wendell. Wendell wa.s elected by the
democrats, the black republicans voting for Mr.
Foilett.
KfFKCTivf: Spkeches.—Mr. Ould’s specch a-
ijainst Sickles, according to the reports, was lis-
t' ned to for severnl liours by the large crowd with
"breiithlcss nitensity.” Mr. Graham’s speech in
•'icklos’ favor, according to the Washington I’nion,
lasti-d f i;r hours and a half", and had “a powerful
tffect on the va.'-t audience, most of whom stood
on tiptoe during the whole time.”
Kirth-Day of Henrv (^lay.—Tuesday, April
^•^th, was the anniversary of the birth of Flenry
It was appropriately observed as such in
New York, Virginia, dtc. Among other places,
t lere was an assemblage at Ashland, in the “Slash-
■ of Hanover,” near the birth-place of Mr. (May,
'^here Mr. Gog^in, the whig candidate for Gov
ernor, Was to deliver aa address.
Mr. Evkrett in Wilmington.—The Wil-
niington papers give accounts of the delivery of
the great Washington Oration of the Hon.
Edward Everett in that town on Monday evening
last. The orator was introduced to the large
audience by George Davis, Estj., in a brief ad
dress, which no one caii doubt was in taste and
feeling appropriate to the occasion. Mr. Everett
then spoke for about two hours. Of course it was
a great oration, suited to the greatness of the
theme. The united voice of the country has pro
nounced it so, and no doubt justly. But the Jour
nal confirms the impression we had formed of Mr.
Everett as an orator, viz: that he lacks the of
the Southern orator. The habit of his section is
cooler, calmer, less impulsive. 11 is natural, there
fore, that while his matter is above criticism, and
his manner most polished, the latter is not so at
tractive as Southern people generally expected.
The Journal says,—
“We believe all were pleased, many delighted,
none dissatisfied; although some, perhaps, looked
for a difierent style of speaking—more, perhaps,
of what is generally regarded as oratory—more
stirring, more declamatory. The address was
highly polished, beautiful in conception, chaste,
yet, magnificent in execution—the work of a
scholar, a rhetorician, faultlessly delivered, too
faultlessly for an orator, perhaps, for oratory is
never finished—it suggests more than it directly
conveys—its apparent failures are sometimes its
most effective points—its seeming—mayhap its real
forgetfulnesses, make us, too, forget—carry us
away—lead our feelings captive, we cease to mark
gesture or tone; we feel, but do not analyze our
feelings. Mr. Everett may be, perhaps is, some
thing more or higher than an orator, but he is
also something Jifferent."
The receipts were about ?1000, which goes to
the Mount Vernon Fund.
Mr. Everett left Wilmington on Tuesday morn
ing, escorted by a committee of citizens to Golds-
borough, where he was met by a committee of
about twenty citizens of Newbern. He arrived
at Newborn at 1* I’. M ., was the guest of Judge
Donnell, and delivered his Addre.'« in the even
ing to a large audience at the Baptist Church.
He is to deliver the Addre.ss at Raleigh this
evening, and at Chapel Hill to-morrow.
The Railroad Controversy.—We agree with
the Fayetteville Observer that it is right and
proper to examine into the official conduct of all
public officers, but we difi’er with it about the cor
rectness and fairness of the Worth investigation.
We assure the Observer that we could not think
of blaming a democratic governor for appointing
the State Directors from the democratic partv,
though we have no objections to selecting these
officers from both political parlies, which has been
done in soni3 instances we know; but we do think
that such persons should be stockholders, and we
believe the law requires that they shall be. Gov.
Bragg refused to appoint any one who was tiot a
stockholder—Gov. Ellis has made no appointments
since he came into office.—Char. Dem.
Yet four of the membei-sof the (’ommittee, two
democrats and two whigs, signed the report which
the Democrat impeaches for incorrectness and un
fairness, and the fifth member, also a democrat,
frankly admitted both its correctness and its fair
ness, and even its thoroughness upon all points
which were examined (and all were examined, we
believe, which any body suggested, or which the
committee could get testimony of.)
As to the State Directors, it is true that Gov.
Bragg appointed none but stockholders; but he
appointed some who were not originally stock
holders, who did not aid the work but only bought
stock for little or nothing from those who were
patriotic enough to pay full price for it. It is
also true that Gov. Bragg appointed one Whig
(and a good and true one too—(riles Mebane;)
but was one Whig to seven democrat^ a fair ap
portionment, when \''higs had subscribed 8836,-
000 to 8164,000 by democrats?—we mean of
course in view of its being made a party matter,
as it never ought to have been, but as it was by
the democratic Governors. Gov. Reid it was
who appointed all democrats, and some who were
not stockholders.
Town Affairs.—The taxes for the current
year have been fixed at $2 on polls and $1 30 on
the 8100 valuation of real estate. No change
from last year.
Messrs. John H. Cook, A. M. Campbell and
C. E. Leete have been re-appointed Auctioneers.
See advertisement concerning these and other
matters.
The Tniversity.—A young friend at Chapel
Hill has sent us a copy of the annual catalogue, a
neat pamphlet of about fifty pages printed at the
office of the Chapel Hill Gazette. In addition to
the items contained in the synopsis of its contents
copied into the Observer a few days ago from the
Gazette, the folUiwing may be of interest to the
public generally, as well as to the many University
graduates.
Executive Committee.—His Excellency
Governor Ellis, Chairman.—Hon. John H. Bryan,
Daniel W. Courts Esq., Maj. Charles L. Hinton,
Hon. Charles Manly, Bartholomew F. Moore, Esq.,
Hon. Romulus M. Saunders.
Board of Examiners for 1859.—Hon. Dan

William (’. Dowd, A. B., Latin Language.
Stealing a Name.—The “('arolina Watch
man,” at Salisbury, is naturally indignant at
somelxjdy in Hendersonville, N. C., who has
started a paper there and called it the “Western
Carolina Watchman.” We too have had reason
to complain of a similar act of grand Lrceny.
There is a “Fayetteville Observer” in Fayette
ville, Tennessee, and the worst of it is, it is a full
blooded democratic paper, and we have once or
twice seen the worst sort of democratic doctrines
credited in our exchanges to the “Fayetteville Ob
server.” The editor had the impudence to send
ua the first or an early number of his paper with
a request to exchange. This was adding insult
to injury.
The range of names is surely wide enough to
enable an editor to find a good one without stealing.
Harnett County Affairs.—Messrs. R. C.
Belden, John Elliot, Jas. S. Harrington, Stephen
Pearson, Daniel Cutts, Fartjuhard Smith, and
Eldredge Stewart, were on Thursday last elected
Commissioners to locate the county seat of Harnett.
Mail 1)elays.—We have some reason to be
lieve that the mail from Fayetteville for AVilming-
ton and other points South is frequently, if not
generally, delayed at Warsaw. Letters and papers
mailed here at 2 P. M. ought ahmys to be in
Wilmington at 5 o’clock the next morning. If
thej^ail thus to arrive it is a great wrong to the
business interests of both places, which ought to
be promptly remcdi«d.
The Observer is invariably mailed here in time
for the mails of Monday and Thursday, and if it
does not always arrive in Wilmington on Tuesday
and Friday mornings, as we believe it does not,
it is ow’ing to gross neglect somewhere.
Democratic 'Proublks.—The Standard of
yesterday contains about five columns of matter
devoted to party squabbles in Wake, and perhaps
in the Metropolitan district generally. There is
some very plain talk to “the new recruits,” the “fol
lowers of the camp” who “expect to live on the
plunder of the camp,” withoixt doing duty and
“earning their bread before they eat it.”
The squabbles of the Democracy are not con
fined to the Metropolitan district. There are in
dications of dissatisfaction “all about in spots.”
So many people deserted to the Democracy in
hopes of office, that the chances of success are
becoming about as poor as they were in the partv
they left. We are not disposed to rejoice much
at the s((uabbles of the l>emocracy. They manage,
somehow, to fix them all up on election day and
disappoint premature congratulations among their
opponents.
An Editor that didn’t know his own
Horse.—The ever ready humorist of the Milton
Chronicle tells the following story on himself. It
is well tor him that he biis a good reputation in
Yanceyville and Milton, or he might have fared
as a poor fellow did here a few days ago. He
put a horse worth 875 or 8100 in the hotel st'ible
at Luniberton duriri*; Court, and when he sot on
O '
again to ride away the horse was worth 8300.
Somelxtdy fullowfd him through this place, over
took him and the horse and carried the latter
(and }>orhaps the former also) back. r/t/s indi
vidual had takt li .'-uiiicthing intoxicating. B»it
to the Chronicle's .story:—
The U/•o/iy Ilorsi'—Ayain!—We might as
well kill a negro or two about the Yauceyville
Hotels at once, and be done with it, for in the
long run we shall probably have it to do, if they
do not stop saddling the wrong horse for us.
Some years ago we drove a horse from Yancey
ville to this place, iu a sulky, that had never be
fore had harness on; he cut a good many shines
on the way, and for which we cut him well \^ith
a whip. Arriving here we ascertained that we
had the wrung horse, but no two brothers favored
more than the quadruped we drove to Yancey
ville and the one that brought us back. Every
body who didn't know us swore that we mu.st
have been tight, simply because it happened on a
day when every body is supposed to get drunk—1th
of July. But the truth is we hatln’t touched a drop
of anything intoxicating. So much for that time.
Last Tuesday, when about to return home from
Yanceville, we gave a negro our ‘check’ and after
waiting a long time he brought a clay-bank pre
cisely the color and size of the horse we rode,
with our saddle and bridle on it, and without
noticing the horse particularly we mounted
the brute, but ere we got fixed in the saddle, we
heard some one at a distance exclaim “h—lo,
Evans, that’s my horse you’re onl” It proved to
be our friend J. M. Burton, that hailed us. We
thrust our hand iu the pocket where a five shoot
er ought to have been—but never was—and look
ed around for the “black republican” ostler, but
a search warrant couldn’t find that darkic. Suf
fice it to say the fool killer had business with us
ere we reached home.
Literarv Mistake.—A little more than a
century ago (1754) David Hume, the great Scot
tish historian, published the 1st volume of his
History of England. He had previously attained
celebrity as an author by several other works that
he had published, but this was the labor of his
life. He expected both fame and fortune from
it. What was his astonishment and mortification
to find that in twelve months only forty-five copies
were sold in London, where it was published. It
met with better success in Scotland, but that was
owing to his personal popularity there. He lived,
however, to see the work the standard History, in
all respects; and a hundred years have but added
to its claims to authority, and extended its sale,
till it is known and appreciated wherever the Eng
lish language is read or spoken.
Pleasa.nt THiN(is pleasantly said.—Book
makers are not aj)t to speak very pleasantly of
their co-laborers. There are all sorts of little
mean jealtmsies among them, as among the “breth
ren” of the press. Mr. Thackeray sets them a
good example. I none of his “English Humourists”
lectures, closing what he had to say about Dickens,
he said:
“All children ought to love him. I know two
that do, anti read his books ten times for once
that they peruse the dismal preachments of their
father. 1 know one who, when she is happy,
reads Nicholas Nickleby; when she is unhappy,
reads Nicholas Nickleby; when she is tired, reads
Nicholas Nickleby; when .she is in bed, reads
Nichohis Nickleby; when she has nothing to do,
reads Nicholas Nickleby; and when she has finish
ed the book, reads Nicholas Nickleby over again.
This candi(l young critic, at ten years of age,
said, “I like .Mr. Dickens’s books much better
than your books, papa;” and frequently expressed
her desire that the latter author should write a
book like one of ]Mr. Dickens’s books. Who can?
Every man must say his own thoughts in his own
voice, in his own way; lucky is he who has such
a charming gift of nature as this, which brings all
the children in the world trooping to him, and
being fond of him.”
New Post Office.—Saunders’ Hill, Mont
gomery County, P. C. Saunders Post Master.
FURTHER BV THE CITY OF BALTIMORE
New York, Apnl 12, 1859.
Peace or War.—Less confidence in peace was
felt at Paris, Vienna and Turin, where warlike pre
parations continued. Count Cavour was still at
Paris, and Iiaving frequent interviews with the
Emperor. The Paris Bourse was depressed.
French Threes closed at 08 francs 10 centimes.
Reports of pending French loan were supposed to
have some influence in causing the depression
Lord Palmerston had made explanations in the
British Parliament in regard to Cowley’s mi&sion,
and expressed the hope that peace would be
maintained.
Danubian Conference was expected to assemble
during the week, and it was thought the business
would be disposed of at two sittings, all the pow
ers haying agreed to recognize the Conzas election.
Enylish Reform.—The “liberal” papers, op
posed to the Ministry and to the Reform Bill, con
fidently anticipate the defeat and resignation of
the Ministry.
New York, April 13.
Reported Insurrection in Cuba.—The New
York Sun of this morning hoists the Cuban flag,
and says there is not a doubt that the whole island
is now in a state of revolt. A strong expedition
left here during the latter part of March.
The Isabel arrived at Charleston on Tuesday,
with Havana dates to the 10th inst., (Sunday).
There was no insurrection then. The Sun is a
fillibustcr paper, and the story is doubtless inten
ded to aid in getting up a new expedition
New Orleans, April 12.
Later from Mexico.—The Tennessee has ar
rived.
There was great rejoicing at Vera Cruz when
the recognition of the Liberal Government by
the United States was announced. A natioual
salute wa.s fired, and a great military parade
given, in honor of Minister McLean and the e-
vent which had been consummated.
Thirteen thousand liberal forces were surround
ing the city of Mexico. They had cut off the
supplies of water and provisions for garrison,
which consisted of 6000 men. Miramon bad sent
1500 men from Orizaba to strengthen the gar
rison . A large Liberal force was pursuing M iramon.
Mata, Minister of the Liberal government, has
received official despatches, confirming the Ten
nessee's report, and will leave here in a few days
for Washington.
The isconsin Election.—Returns from the
voting in Wisconsin, on last week, for an asso
ciate Judge of the Supreme Court, favor the
choice of Byron Paine, Republican, by some 5,-
000 majority.
Largt' Rohhery.—The safe of the pre.sident and
cashier of the Allentown Railroad Company in
New York, was broken open on Saturday, and
8112,000 in railroad bonds, checks and diamond
jewelry were stolen. A young clerk in the office
was arrested, and confessed the robbery, with the
exception of the jewelry. The bonds and checks
were recovered and the lad was sent to prison to
await his trial.
Davidson f.'olleyc.—At the last se.ssion of Fay
etteville Presbytery, says the N. C. Presbyterian,
Rev. D. D. McBrydc was elected a Trustee of
Davidson Colleire for the term of four years, and
the election of Rev. M. B. Grier by the Board was
concurred in by the Presbytery. These two gen
tlemen, with Rev. A. Gilchrist and Alex. Kelly,
Esq., are the representatives of the Presbytery in
the Board of Tru.'^tees.

FOB THE OBSERVER.
Messrs. E. J. Hale Son: In passing down
street last Saturday, my attention was called to a
most splendid set of double Harness, manufactur
ed by W. Overby for a gentleman in .Mi.«sissippi.
Every one pronounced it the finest work they had
ever seen. The price received for it wa.s Seventy-
Five Dollars.
I felt gratified to see that we have in the old
Town of Fayetteville such superior workmen, and
that the demand for their work has extended so
fur from home. The material of this job was the
very best, while the t-tste displayed and the work
manship reflect credit, not only on the manufac
turer himself but on the place that sustains him.
Mr. Overby is an industrious, enterprising good
workman; and any one in want of neat and good
work would do well to give him a cali.
