We learn that Mr. xe Will only lec ture in this city one time, and wc again call upon those who wish to enjoy a least to go and near him. Ticket i jot reserved seats can be hid at Branson's Bookstore. Secure them early. The following is taken from the Bos ton Post : 4,0f the poem by Hon. John G.

We received too late for publication a lengthy programme or the dav prepared by rather Mc:sa- mara, but we can say that it is highly attractive and no one will regret that ie was there. We have no doubt but the; Dining-room of the larborough House will be: crowded to excessive oveiflowiug. Tickets for Pale at the drug stores and book stores. Tiik Peabody School Fund.

We have already alluded to the fact that Mr. Morrison, member of the House of Representa tives froin Lincoln, had tendered his resignation, and we now give place, with pleasure, to the following concern ing him from the Charlotte Observer : The resignation of Mr. Alfred J. Mor risson, is a member of the House of RepresentativesJ'rom Lincoln county, and his adoption of the highest and noblest of all professions,, that of the Christian Ministry, has excited the ad miration of his many friends through out this section of the State. . It is a rare action in times like these. Young, full of hope and energy, gifted with more than ordinary powers of mind, and endowed with qualities of head and heart which would have won for. him the affections and esteem of the people, hewas just entering upon a political career of honor and usefulness that gave noble promise of a bright fu ture. -Though 'one of the youngest members of the General Assembly, he took a high stand in that honorable body, and more than once electrified the Hduse with bursts of gerftiine eloquence. His loss will be lelt at the'-next session of the Legislature, unless his place be filled by a successor equallvHaleuted and 'patriotic! y Acts like this .of Mr. Mof nson'a are seldom witnessed now-a-days, ' It is not an uncommon thing for preachers to be" come , politicians,'? bu$ - tor a successful politician to turn from the path of am bition to take-up the cross, is indeed a marvel in this age of worldlineTs and de generacy.. And inasmuch as this is an" age ot almost unprecedented corruption andaenjjoralization, such an exhibi tion ofy moral heroism is worthy of especial commendation. It is a bright example to the rising young men: ot the country, worth far more than sermons and precepts; and will no doubt serve to lead the footsteps of many, into the paths of Truth and Righteousness. Mr. Morrison goes to theMinistry &t a time when preachers and pious men are much needed. "The harvest truly is great r' Vice, dishonesty and general ; looseness of morals pervades all the government circks and extends through out every grade of society. The spread of immorality is fearful ; "the trail of the ! serpent" is visible everywhere ; the foundations of the society are shaken ; the very existence of the Republic is threatened. To roll back the tide of evil, to restore the reign of virtue in the minds of men, is the work ol Christians. More earnest, god-fearing men are needed to denounce the vices of the day, to preach the Holy Word, and to carry the tidings of salvation to the hearts of men. And eveiy new la borer who goes into the harvest of the Lord will be hailed with joy by chris tians everywhere, and be bid, God speed in his good work 1 OCR UnuitCHES To-Day. -Divine services will be held at the following Churches to day, (Sunday.)

Sea well, Esq , a highly respectable and much es teemed citizen of this county was ar raigned before his honor Mayor Wesly Whitakcr, yesterday, charged with firing two pistol shots at Eli flay wood, colored, a bar-tender at Pepper's tfaloon. From the evidence adduced, it was shown that Mr. Seawell. while in the saloon, kicked a pet dog ot Elis, xhu doubtless spoke abruptly to Mr. Sea well, or Mr. b. so understood it. A scuffle cn;-ued, in which Mr. Seawall drew a pistol, and from the statement of Eli, the pistol was discharged by the fall ot Mr. beawell to the floor. Capt. Watson, of the night police, was near at the time and quieted the disturbance before any harm was done. Mr. beawell was bound over to the Superior Court in the sum of 6300. It was a small attair, and out for the accidental discharge of the pistol wotild not haye created any excitement. The Western N. C, Railroad. The firt meeting of the flowiTlou Board of Directors ot tne Western N C. Railroad, occurred in Salisbury on Friday. Dr. W. II.

As the season ia rapidly approaching for our North Carolina down Eastera to cast about for a comfortable and at tractive place of refuge from the ills and chills incident to the section; we call the attention of all concerned to the advantages offered by the various places ot resorts in our our States 'f - , The climate of this locality isvsaid to' be the most salubrious - inthe (United States ; mineral springs, the medical qualities' of the waters of which aro not excelled by any ; refiued and moral com munities, with churches of every, denomination,- -and the best schools in the country, gi yes N. Carolina an advantage over"any other State as a summer resort. Withont disparagement to any of the other popuiarpoints in the State, we think it nothing more than shctr jus tice to speak particularly of oneplace, that wjll this season re-open after a sus pension of several years. The town of Warrenton, situated on the Raleigh & Gaston R. R , m Warren, county, has long been noted for its salu brious climate and the excellent mineral springs near the town. WaTreuton has now one ot the best hotels in the State. The, Norwood House, though recently taken in charge by its energetic proprietor, is winning a reputation second to no Hotel in this section. Tt is being enlarged, refitted and refurnished from basement to garret and the fair and accommodations are excellent. Mr. Norwood, the proprie tor, will have completed from his house to the old Suck Spring (a distance of three miles) a turnpike road, and those desiring can have a beautiful drive to this truly romantic spot, but the water will be kept fresh on draught through out the season at the Hotel. A large Ball room is one of the conve niences of this Hotel, and should the number of visit rs justify it, an excellent band of music will be in attendance du ring the season. We have not as yet heard of other new plans, but the far-lamed Kittreli's Hotel is being made ready for an in creased patronage. North Carolinians, leave your money at borne this Sum mer. Escalade. Simpson Mordecai, now under sentence of death for burglary, and confined in the county jail, escaped therefrom yesterday by scaling the walls, but was overtaken by several citizen?, and brought back to his quarters. The jailor, a colored man, gave him permis siou to walk in the yard, and though the wall is very high, yet he climbed, according to the jailor's account, so quickly and easily, that he was gone before he saw him. This wanton carelessness on the part of the jailor is reprehensible in the highest degree, and for this act of per mitting a con,cnteueed to be hang ed, to go unlettered, not to sajr walk out in the jatd, is in our opinion a good cause for removal from office. We Die Hard. The Solicitipg Committee, also the Auxiliary Commit tee appointed, at the last meetingof the citizens to raise funds for Fair Grounds asked through Mr. Harp, one of the members, to be relieved .from all other duties in the way of asking contribu tions. Some one present in the meeting proposed making one more attempt be tore a final abandonment of the project -and to test this matter, Messrs. Lynn Adams, Chas. Busbce, and Jno. Arm strong were appointed a Committee to again sie it the citizens had fully made up their minds to let the Fair go? It is matter that concerns them so much that we trust they will reflect before too late. Blowing up of Dowd's Mills. The steam engine attached to the ex tensive Saw Mills of Dr. Dowd, at Apex, in this county, exploded its boiler on Friday, 'resulting in the entire destruc tion ot the engine an I cons'ulerable iu- jury to the building. The accident was caused by the oolhpse of the inaiirnue. The engineer wa-. seriously wounded. but it is believed his injuries will noi prove fatal. None others hurt. These mills, situated immediately on the R.tleih and Augusta Air Line road, and convenient to this city, were or great beuifit to our building cominuni ty, who will be necessitated to incou- mience arising iroru a temporary sus pension. The Bkll Ringers. As announced by advertisement elsewhere in to-day's issue, the Berger Family of Swiss Bell Ringers will delight our citizens to morrow night at Tucker Hall with one ol their matchless entertainments. This company come to us endorsed bv the press of the State wherever thev have appeared, and we therefore feel no lu-si tacy in commending this exhibition to our citizens and believe they will be highly entertained by a visit to Tucker iiall.
