Two no ted nymphs du jmve had arrested a Frenchman that was a United States soldier and stationed at Camp Russell for alleged violent treatment. The conflicting testimony or the accusers was sufficient to acquit the accused, but the Mayor asked what he had to say in defense of himself, fie repeated, "any thing to please youf. honor to get ut of this trouble. I'll marry them both on pay day if you will let me off." Bat both of the women couldn't see it in that light. A compromise was finally made that he would marry one.

In our yesterday's report we neglect ed to state that on motion of Mr. Houston the rules were suspended and the bill to "promote immigration and facilitate the settlement! of public lands," was taken up and ordered to be printed. No bill of special importance was be fore the Senate yesterday. That body is rapidly clearing its calendar, in order to leave but little unfinished business over for the recess which commences on Thursday. An amusing little "spat" took place yesterday between Senators Murphy aud Love, upon an insurance hill. The House yesterday was occupied principally in the discussion of the two Railroad bills as reported in the House proceedings. Two of the leading spirits of the House, Messrs. Bennett, of' An son and McGehee, of Person, "locked horns" for the first time in a stirring debate and it was decidedly interesting to outsiders. One of the most industrious Represen tatives of the General Assembly is Col. R. Tyler Bennett, of Anson. As Chair man of the Committee on the Judiciary, his labors during this session have been extremely arduous. Daily since the be ginning of the session, scores of bills and resolutions relating to mat ters of law have been intro duced, all of which, referred to the Judiciary Committee, are compelled to he closely studied in order that no in congruity may unwittingly creep into the statute books of the State, and as chairman of the Judiciary Committee, Col. Bennett has not failed daily to keep up with this strain upon'his duties. A3 evidence of this fact, the reader has only to rcler to the procceediugs of to day. Anson county should be proud of Bennett. What company", manufactures HUNDRED machines per day ? Howe. SIX The t t . Louisbukg .Items. Our Louisburg correspondent, under date of-yesterday gives us the following items : The town and vicinity has just under gone a terrible small pox excitement. caused by the report that a man by the name of John Doyl eliving near Hall's X Roads, eight miles from that city. The excitement was however allayed by the report oi the attending Physician Dr, W. M. Crenshnw, who stated the death of Mr. Doyle was from typhoid disen- tery with confluent measles. The County Board of Commissioners upon the strength ol the rumor met and passed resolutions to prevent the spread oi the uij-euse. It is not believed that the disease will reach us. Trade is still brisk with our mer chants and cotton buyers. The staple is . bringing in town, within a i of a cent of the Raleigh market, as reported y the JNews. The Rev. Dr. Pritchard, of vour city, is continuing his interesting revival of lieligioa here with great success. Not withstanding the exceeding inclement weather, large congregations greet his laudable efforts, and much goo i is being accomplished. So far, eighteen persons have made a profession of religion, and the number ol enquirers are increasing. OUTKAGE UPON THE HOUSE OF REP RESENTATIVES. The seat of Mabson, colored, a Representative from Edge combe, has been contested, upon the ground that he had not been at the time of his election a citizen of the county twelve months. Dick Johnsoa, colored, a representative Ironi the county of Edgecombe in the last Leg islature, was summoned as a witness and testified before tho House Commit tee on Privileges and Elections. On yesterday, Senator Mabson, col.. of New Hanover, a brother of the other Mabson, approached Johnson in the Capitol, and mentioning his testimony beiore the committee, at once fell upon him with a stick. Before he could be stopped, Johnson was struck several blows, his head badly cut, and severe injuries inflicted. Johnson is here as a witness before a committee of the House ot Representa tives and under is protection. Mabson nas ueeu guilty oi a gross contempt ol the House, and the matter will doubt less at once be investigated. It the facts Ehould be as stated above, the Senate will doubtless take decisive action in the matter.' We shall see Independent Order of Good Tem tlars. VVe learn iiom Theo. N. Ram say, General Deputy, that the order of Good -Templars in North Carolina is making rapid progress. The order has only been in operation in this State about four months, and numbers to-dav upwards of fitteen hundred souls. This is an international order -existing not only in the United States, but in Europe It numbers in all over half a million members, and is regarded the best and most substantial order in the world.

VV e are told that the regular meetings of this Lodge are well attend ed. This is attributed to the fact that the meetings are highly interesting and attractive, besides being very impres sive. We wish our friends in this good cause abundant success. Hymenial.- W. W. Jones, Esq., one ot our mobt promising young lawyers, led to the Hymenial altar yesterday morning, Miss Bettie Johnston, daugh ter of Doctor Charles E. Johnston, and one of Raleigh's loveliest and most ac complished young ladies. The seryices were periormed in Christ Church at 9 o'clock, Rev. Dr. R. S. Mason, officia ¬ ting.

The New York, Norfolk and Char leston icauroaa. We have already published a com munication from a friend of , this pro posed road. The subjoined communi cation opposing it has been furnished us by a correspondent, to which we also give place. Ed. News The First District wants a railroad- it can have its wish, as far as we are concerned. It may have a dozen, and we do not care whether they be built by New Yorkers or Norfolk men. But we do protest against the First District building a railroad in the Cape Fear District. The Cape Fear people can take care ol their own railroad mat ters. If, however, the First District will let the Cape Fear people have a voice in locating the line of the First District railroad when it comes in our section, then we will withdraw our protest, and may assist them materially in building their road." But we think we have cause to be indignant, that denying us this poor privilege, these First District railroad men should insist on building a road for us exactly where all don't want it. Wilmington has burdened herself with an enormous debt to build up a certain system of railways. This system being near completion, has begun to make us prosperous. The First District pro poses to rob us of all the advantages that would naturally accrue to us from the money we have expended in our railroads. We say coolly proposes to transfer these advantages to Norfolk and to leave as with our heavy debt without deriving any benefit therefrom. More than this the First Districts pro- ...

A negro wo man, said to be from Boston, went to the house of an aged white lady in this city, Mrs; Patsy Jolly, on pretence of having a dress made. While there, fce negro woman violently knocked down Mrs. Jolly and carried off severararticles of property. In her flight, she dropped Mrs, Jolly's shawl.
