Ralph Garrett, Esq , of Greensboro, is in the city attending the Supreme Court. . TheGraud Lodge ot the I. O. O. F. of this State, meet in this city on the 17th of May. - Up to 6 P. 'M. yesterday not a sinner had been brought in the; august press euce bT the Mayor. The 'Board of City Commissiouers held tbeir regular monthly meeting on Wednesday evening. If New Hampshire was a mother, she doubtless would bend her Senator o'ver her knee and Pat-Iier-son. In whist, it is said by Raleigh players, that the longest Pole gets the persim mons. (Query : Is this a reference to Pole on Whist? Pr. Dev.) f By a reference to the proceedings it will be seen that the House has adopted the concurrent resolution to adjouru on the 3d prox. A hop is to come off at the National on Friday evening. These are most enjoyable affairs, and are always largely attended, despite wind or weather. Cicero W. Harris, the gentlemanly and talented editor ot the Wilmington ktaru reached thi3 city last evening. We were pleased to see him looking so well. Colonel Lindsay, the efficient mem ber of the House ot Representatives iroin Nash county, is again in his seat, after a severe indisposition of t wo week's duration. Messrs. W. II. & R. S. Tucker & Co., have an attractive advertisement in to day's issue. They are liberal and experienced merchants, and do exactly what they say. County merchants will do well to call oa them. John Farley, the cooper at the-North Carolina Brewery, at Ridgeway, lost one of his nngers a lew day since in attempting to move one of the several large vats now being placed in Mr. Peters' establishment. ! .1 . : The Senate yesterday passed a sweep ing prohibition liquor bill, embracing the many petitions that have come up oravine the woDhibitiDr the sale ol ardent spirits within given distances ol various, chuiches,school houses and fair trrourrds.

Miller, Deputy U. .Marshal; who has just returned to this city lrom the East, that oa Friday last, in Samp; son county, William Henry Gainey, shot and Seriously wounded, Henry Godwin, a witness against him in Uie Federal, Court, and it is thought that Godwin will die. ' " . . .:7' ' ' , The weapon used was a double bar reled khot gun, , The "first Joad t&ok: i-fTect in the lacel neck and breast, and' as Godwin turned his back to get out of the way, Gainey fired aain,r-the second discharge lodging in the baiik of the head and shoulders. Dr. Monk,1 who was called iu to examine the wounds, pronounces Godwin's situation very critical. Major JUiller did not frive us anv. particulars of ther-origin ot the difficulty. , " ? The recent 'tains in Sampson have flooded the streams in that county to such an extent that travelers meet with much trouble and difficulty r in getting along ; farming operations are : entirely suspended, and no plowing can be done lor some time. . . . -. . Major F. H. Cameron We were please to greet this gentleman yesterday. The Major comes to . locate; among us permanently, and a valuable acquisition he is to our community. He will devote his energies to putting into operation the North Carolina Lite Insurance com pany, recently orgauized in this city, and of which he is the Yice President, and has the immediate supervision of its workings. iue stocKnoiaers auu directors ot this Company are from various sections of the ;State, and are composed of gentlemen of well know integrity. It is emphatically a State institution and enterprise, and as such should be fostered and patronized by all who have any ; State pride. We congratulate tho Company upon secur ing the services ol so competent a gen tleman as Major Cameron as their General Manager. We regard bis selec tion as a harbinser oi success for the Company. Sad. Woodson in said proceedings. consequence Haw River Water Power. The last Hillsboro Recorder thus alludes to th.j water power of Haw River : ' " No stream in North Carolina can compare with Haw River in the many advantages it has over others of greater size and capacity. It can whow no such concentration. ot power as: ist exhibited by the Roanoke at Weldon. Its falls may be lower than those of the High Shoals on the Catawba. But in the number, and frequency of its mill sites, it is wilh'jut a rival.. From Haywood at its mouth, to Wentworth in Rock ingham' county, it is a manufactoring stream. It has twenty mill sites in sixty miles, all of them with abundant power.and very few utilized.There isonly one cotton factory on the river below the North Carolina 'Kail Road." That has belonged to Newlin, & Sons, and has been worked uninterruptedly for more than SU 'ears, such a thing asstoppage by failure of water beibg uknjown.- Above the bridge on the Rail Hpad, three sites are occupied, one by T. M. Holt, immediately, at the bridge, and another, by E. . Ml Ho t & Sons, another at Big Falls, all as cotton factories; of the other numerous sites, some are occupied by small grain mills, others unused. Looking at the idle capital at the North seekiog investment, it would appear no better choice could be made than the waters of Haw riter. In the first place, the water power' at each of the twenty or more points suit- aoie lor use, is suthcicnt to run : from 30,000 . to 50,000 spin dles at each, and it has betn proven by experience tbat the power is unfailing, because it is under such control, that the whole of it can be applied.. ; In the second p'.ace, it is within easy reach of the raw material, either by the Chatham Railroad tor points towards the mouth of the river, and by the N. C. R. R. for points higher up. Above the railroad bridge, the railroad and the river, run nearly parallel, at a distance no where exceeding seven miles. In the third place, the soil is fertile producing all the cereals iri abundance, and the finest of fruits, making the cost of living in finitely lower than it otn possibly be in any t .the northetn manufacturing towns. Labor also would be' 'abundant and. cheap, as is proved by the ex perieficc of the' present manufacturers. In the fourth place, the climate is emi nently pleasant and healthy, the winters of short duration as compared with those of the North, and the summers not so subject to those extreme periods of heat, which mark a northern climate. . " These four points arc iocontestible. They arg not stated to color a picture, or delude by misrepresentation to en trap the unwary. They are'UDexagger -ated tacts. V "What region, then, so. attractive to capital', as one that furnishes an abun dant accessible power, a near vicinity to the 'raw material, the fertility oi soil, and consequent cheapness ot living, and the healthtulness of a climate,absolutely free' from malaria, or local causes ot disease. ' These things have not been suffi ciently well Knowa, and most ot our own people are ignorant of, them. We confess to a want of accuracy, which however we are seeking to supply." Intellectual Entertainment. Raleigh has been favored this i winter with . but few entertainments ; of any character. As a general thing the theatrical concerns that travel through, the South are catch-penny affairs.and the time and money spent in wifdessiug their exhibitions are worse than wasted. It may be that the meagre patronage extended to such travelling companies has been the means, of keeping Away, from bur city more meritorious perform ances..'. ; ,!;", 'i . :, ' ; ' Wc think theharge that the people of Raleigh will not,' patroniza entertain:-; ments ot character and merit is unfund ed. ' We remember how Metropolitan Hall was crowded to its utmost capacU ty wlien Ole Ball gavoone of hi3 inimi- table concerts here. : '; W.e believe bur people have as much appreciation of genuiue merit as those ot any city of the size of Raleigh, and we doubt not would patronize liberally and Tenjoy keenly intellectual and. moral entertainments. ; :;f ,;';r ; j " . .Before the winter. ii' .

Oa Thursday night last a meeting of the citizens of Raleigh and others was held in Metropolitan Hall for the purpose of putting in motion the ball by which a sufficient ' amount of money was to be raised to erect the buildings proposed to be placed upon the Fair Grounds'of the State Agricultural Society. ' The plan of these buildings wras then exhU bited, and we are justified in saying that if the designs can be carried out by the Building Committee the grounds will prove an ornament to the State and re flect great credit upon the Society. Ral eigh should feel a peculiar 'interest in the success of the Society, and , we were glad to see some of our leadingeitizens putting down amount.3 towards the attainment of the object that evidenced their intention the matter through. A committee citizens were appointed to wait upon the business men of JLialeigh to f solicit contributions, and We hope they' are making good headway. Let every one lend a helping hand. ' There will be another meeting of the citizens on the first Thursday night in next monih, when final steps will be taken concerning - the character of the buildings to be erected. The people of Raleigh must then decide whether . they will have Fair Grounds that they will not be ashamed of. , Let every one. con sider himself as personally appealed to in this matter.

Superintendent of Public Instruction be instructed to cause the si m pie elements of agriculture to be taught in all the public schools ot the State. w. ; Mr, Norwood stated that too much attention could not be paid to the agri cultural Interests of the State. He had desired in the original bill to have can vassers to go in every county and in struct our farmers, and thus seek to improve and properly deveiopc the ag ricultural and other interests of the State, but the exnreision of the Senate indicating opposition, he had offered this substitute as a feeble first step to wards the attainment ot the object he desired. The substitute was referred to Commit tee on Immigration, who have in prep aration a . bill covering the grounds therein stated. The bill concerning the sale of ardent spirits in various " localities was called ud and adopted. This bill embraces all petitions which have . been made to "YCV .

The Committee : ; on Propositions ; and Grievances reported favorably upon the bill, . . Mr. Hill, from same Committee, sub mitted a minority report adverse to the measure, believing that the majority of the voting population of the city did not wish such a change. , Mr. Norwood favored the bill at some length as one of propriety, the only qutstion being the Tight ot the Legisla ture to pass Euch a law. He w as of opinion it did have that right. Harris. cof., 6pposed the bill. He izens of Raleigh desired it. He could not see the necessity of the measure, no grievances were complained of, and he could learn of no demand for such a step comingjfrom the people of Raleigh. He was unwilling to try this new experi ment, unless he could be shown wherein it would result to the general good of hi3 constituents. If it was to be put upon Raleigh, let it be put upon the whole State. His remarks were con tinued at some length, and we would give a. full synopsis of both Mr. Nor wood's and Harris' remarks, for the information of our city readers, but for the want of space. -. Harris presented a memorial from the citizens of Raleigh praying that this bill do not pass. Mr. Dunham hoped the bill would pass. He did not think it should be considered as partisan. He referred to the fact that during the discussion of this question in the House last session, when it was eiven to the city of Wil mington, it received the unqualified support of the Hon. Samuel F. Phillips, who then represented the county of Wake Mr. Phillips stating that he be lieved that the principle ot cumulation would eventually prove the greatest protection to the colored population of the couth, who were so largely in the minoritv. -.The speaker believed it would work well wherever applied, and he hoped to see it applied to all the cities and towns in the State if not to the State Government. Mr.' Norwood replied to some of the remarks of the Senator from Wake. He believed that the application df cumulative suffrage to Raleigh would be of great benefit to the city that the finances of the city would be better managed. She had a debt upon her ol $120,000, incurred within the last lew years. The cumulative system ; had worked well wherever it had been ap plied, and he was in favor of granting the appeal which had been sent up from a large number of tax-paying citizens of the city. The bill passed its second reading by a vote of yeas 22, nays 11. Adjourned. HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES. House called to order at 10 o'clock by Speaker Robinson. Reading of the Journal dispensed with.
