Statesville has voted tha dry ticket, so likewise has Shelby. Newton, and several other towns have already enibraced the dry platform, others are moving to the same end and in the same direction, and soon the threat of the Friends of Temper ance and the Good Templars that North Carolina must and shall be reconstruct ed on a dry basis, will be accomplished. 1 his gigantic march 01 the temper ance movement is truly alarming to the thirsty everywhere, and consternation already breaks in upon the ranks of even the moderate drinkers. Desertion is now 'the 'order ot the uay, and we are halt inclined to hand m our petition to liro. YYluUkcr as soon as be returns home. We remained firm and steadfast until Foote. of the Warrenton -Gazette, gave in. A'es, Foote has left us. he is now a bright and shining light in the Council of the Friends of Temperance of Warrenton. Hold on, Foote. we are coming too, we can't do better, dry times are ahead, the temperance men are winning the held. We only waited for St. Patrick's, now that is over, we'll join you.

White, of delirium trtnunx, a short time betoie the war, and we safely predict a " dry.'.'tiwie ahead" for a lew years at leasts Wueke Shall tiis Postoffice be Located ? This is a question that is yet unsettled. Gov. Holden, the new Postmaster, tinds it impossible to get a building suitable for the purpose on Fayettcville street, and the suggested plan of moving the present building to the Couit Green will not do from the fact that all the space near and adjacent, even halt at i a)etleville street in trout of the building, will necessarily be used lor the stone, sand and other building material. Now where shall the olhce.be located i As this 13 a matter that concerns the business men of Ral eigh, we claim the right and privilege ol ottering-suggestions.' in regard to it. Wilmington street is rapidly becomcing the principal business street ot the citv, and jis the new Postothce must be located on Fayettcville street, we really think that Wilmington has a strong claim lor the temporary post ollice. We have, no doubt that either the Prairie or Burringer buildings, on this street, can be secured, and either one would be almost as convenient us the present post-oiiice building on I .lyctteviile street. As stakd a few daj ago, the new postmaster has al ready intimated his intention ot con suiting the interest and convenience of tuivbusiness men in selecting his loca tion Tor the office. We think we ex press theAiews ol the business men oi Raleigh insuggesting the location named above. Kl'chkei).

Author, Ven-. ttiloquist and Magician, from 'Paris, who made his debut at the Academy of Music last evening to one of the largest and" most appreciative audiences ever assembled in our city for a similar oc casion.

He relies solely and alone upon Ins skill and true merits, which is alt suflicient ior the generous aud wise. He-will only re main for a lew days more.

A RESPECTABLE YOUNG WHITE LADY OF WARREN COUNTY RUNS AWAY WITH A '"" NEGRO. She is Pursued by her. Fajl&r and Overtaken in thit.vnf The I Negro Escape hy Flight and the 1 oitn(f lAMiy fnken Jlmne. A considerable excitement prevailed in the neighborhood ot the Raleigh & Gaston Railroad depot yesterday even- ing,by the api prance in that locality of an exasperated lather in search of his daughter, who had eloped from his house the day before with a negro man. The whereabouts of. the lost daughter was soon obtained, and the parent ac companied by a" stout young man. made a descent upon the house. The negro seeing and recognizing the party, made good his escape, but the young lady was secured. 1 he party left on the accommodation tram mst night for Mauson, Warren "county, the nearest depot of the unhappy father. At the request or mends we' with hold the name of the young lady. We know the father to he a respectable .citizen of good standing in his neigh borhood, and deeply sympathize with his sad misfortune. The young lady is only seventeen year3 old and siid to be remarkably bcautilul, and the negro she became enamored with is, particu larly ill-favored, rusty aud generally re pulsive. Truly there is no accounting lor tne whim s and taste of women. Raleigh How Otheks See Us.- The failure of the citizens of Raleigh to subscribe $10,000 for the State Fair has materially injured the character of Raleigh throughout the State aud exci ted great surprise and criticism. We append a sample of the criticisms Jiom the last Tarhoro Southerner : Tiir State Fa'iu. Through the parsimony and indifference of the peo ple of Raleigh, it appears very proba ble that the btate I? air will be removed from that City to some other place, whose citizens are less .niggardly in their notions, and more appreciative of the advantages urising- from such uu in stilution in their midst. The sum ot 310,000 is decUic 1 abso lutely ueccssftry for the erection of suitable buildings, yet, alter the most arduous txertions on the p-irt or some few, and numberless meetings held for the purpose of putting some life -in the- matter, only s,000 have been subscri bed, and the city papers appear to have ;iven up all hope ot obtaining any more, Notwithstanding-: the yearly donation of $1,500, made by the State, for the support of a State Fairi which the charter of the Society requires shall be held u in u illy, the people of Raleigh appear to be too close listed to support a 1 air, the annual meetings of which would add an hundred fold to their sub scriptions. : AVe noticed that at a meeting-of those interested, held last Friday, it w as resolved " that unless the ten thousand dollars necessary to commence the work is subscii bed by the 25th of March, the Executive Committee of tlie State Agri cultural Society are .directed to .commu nicate with other cities in North Caro -Iin i concerning the location of the Fair at fcome other place in the State." Such lukewartnne.-s and indifference on the part of the people in a matter so vita I iy important to them should meet its just reward and, for one, We hope the Executive Committee will at once act upon the at. ve resolution and locale the Fair at some other place. Where, we do not particularly care, though itseems tli-nt Chailotte offers tlie greatest inducements, having al ready pledged tihdhousand doliais and the use ot its Fair' "-Grounds, already ample and in the best preparation.

' For the News. NotoriOns Shaffer ina New Role." Editor Daily News : : Gentlemes : The Sentinel of to-day has an article from the Observer, of the 18thj under the above title, highly elab orated by ye editor thereof, propound ing a conundrum in the peroration, which I will expound it you grant me space. - ' '"" I yield to none in "my appreciaiioo of a good story, or my contempt-fo? -the man who will spoit it, even for telation sake, but this centipede is so many legged that a few hundred may be knocked lrom under without tdisabling the beast, and my delicacy will be ap preciated, lor wCes this is a good story and the "relation" sticketh closer than a brother. I don't need to rely upon my own judgment on this point, for. don't ihe Sentinel say it ia a story ? Didn't the editor omit paying advertisements to give it space, and is it not found at the head of the leading column of this met ropolitan journal that nobody reads ? And wasn't it a' rare chance to ring in that chronic editorialol the last seven years, as "Notorious Shaffer," "Dragged inte United States Courts," Contra band," "Kukluxing," "Loyal dignita ries," '-Troops," &c. Of course its a go()d story and sooner than spoil it, and the promise of reproducing that old editorial a few score of times, I'll deal gently with the bantling and clothe my remarks iu the habiliments of pins JosUr. Firstly. It is a mistake that "McAl pine and Shaffer, of Raleigh," got a barrel of apple vinegar i-nstead of phe of apple brandy, (which is fortunate for McA. and S,) Secondly. It is not true that Severs proposed to give us tlie barrel and con tents if we wouldn t blow,- nor drag him by the scalplock to Statesville.. Delilah taught Sampson a lesson, but Sever's didn't profit by it, nary time, (which is to be regretted of Sever's bv McA and s.) " Thirdly. The Sentinel isiu error as to the hour 01 the visit at Severs by Mc'Al piu and Shaffer when thty found the "contraband" behind the door and cart ed it off. It wasn't among the we stria hours ayont the twal (which fact will pppjease the solicitude of ye tknt'uitl 'man no doubt.) Fourthly.' We didn't go outside the city limits on Thursday night, and McAlpin wasn't with us-when we found the juice, behind Sever.' door. x" Fifthly. We didn't go to Severs that niglit.and didn't find any apple juice. . biidhly. "McAlpm and Shafler of Raleigh" are not Revenue officers, nor has the latter been within a hundred miles of Charlotte for two years. Seventh and Lastly. With the above slight correction, the story of the Senti nd may be regarded as near the truth as ye editor thereof was ever known to get, and may therefore be enrolled with the archives as part of the history of North Carolina., unless claimed .as. pro prietary matter for that chronic edito rial. Yours truly, Notorious Shaffer, Ol Raleigh. Meeting. of the Board' of Direc tors of Deaf, Dumb & Blind In sTlTUTioN.

March r 20. Foster passed the day quietly hnd, teCAined du ring tlie greater part of the time in his cell. He heard early in the day ot the final effort of his Counsel to prevent on legal technicality execution to-morrow, and his hopes were revived. On receiv ing intelligence that the effort had proved "in vain, he became very dejected hung his head on hrs breast, and desired that no one would speak to him except his wife: She had fainted on hearing ol the failure of the last effort, cn recovering she ran to her husband, and placing her hand in his, sat by him for hours, but spoke little. About half-past eight the severing and fioal patting between Foster and wife took place, both wet e deeply affected. He kissed her repeatedly, and she clung to him until overcome with emotion and fainted, and was carried away by her brother. Prison omcials were deeply affected by the scene? . Rev. Dr. Tyng spent upwards of an hour this afternoon with Foster, who listened earnestly to his exhortations. Foster was also visited during the day by his brother in-law, his father and oy rather Duranquett, Catholic Priest, but re fused to undergo the. ordeal of parting with his chiltlren whom he has not seen since his arrest.
