In our Local yesterday morning we
stated that Mr. "T. R. Purcell" had

ity with the State Agricultural Journal.
It" should have read "T. R. Purnell."
Mis. R. Koella announces elsewhere
in this mornings issue that she can
furnish board with plesant rooms for
gentlemen, at the cottage on Dawson
street, nearly opposite the 3Iethodist
Church. .
Amusing yesterdav. to witness the
numberless races that, were occurring
almost every minute in quest of hats.
There is no condition in hie in which a
man receives so little sympathy as when
he is in pursuit of his own hat.

Accidental, Death of a Citizen
op Northampton. The Roanoke News
of yesterday -ives the following ac
count ol the accidental death a few days
since ot Mr. Joseph Copeland, a. worthy
citizen of Northampton county. Says
the Neves :
"Mr. Copeland was at work in afield,
which he was clearing, and having oc-
casion to oreak a suck raised u ano
struck it across a lo;. It snapped in
two, the broken, fragment rebounded
and the end struck him on the temple,
... I.
causing a violent concussion, wnicu
stunned him for sometime. He recov
ered sufficiently to go to his house and
tell his wile what had happened, .and
died in about an hour. The uniortu
nate man stood deseivedly high in the
community in which he lived, and many
are the expressions ot sympathy tor nis
bereaved family."
The "Concokd Sun." Tlie first
number of this weekly, published at
Concord, N. C , bj Chorles F. Harris,
Esq , is to hand. It presents a neat
appearance, and we welcome it to our
exchange list. Says the Editor in his
salutatory :
"The Sun will adopt for its politi
cal course Sound aud Lileral Conserta
tive Principles, and while it is Dot my
intention to make the Sun a partisan
journal or a "redhof paper, still it will
endorse and approve "t7ie ' RigJit," and
expose ana conutmn mo hivh-j,
either in County, State or uovernmen-
ul Administration, and Ireely and lear-
lessly criticise the public acts aud
views of statesmen in both parties.
The ToKNADO. The wind was very
strong
and damacin'T to lences and
trees in all parts of this county yes
terday south of Raleigh, and through
the Rhamkatte section, the trees suffered
severely anl the fences are almost com
pletely blown to peices. Mr. Simon
Hayes lost mauy of his fine fruit trees,
and the same may be said of the place
of Mr. Badger.
Good Smoking Tobacco. We' were
made the recipients yesterday of some
ele,rant "Mechanic's SmokiDg Tobacco"
that is beiug manitactured by the
Alamance Tobacco Company, at Com
pany Shops, on the; line of the N. C.
Road. Thanks.
"Dry Times Ahead.1' Under the
above caption, the Local Editor of the
News a few days since humorously re
ferred to the fact that a large number
of corporations in the State were voting
the "dry ticket," or to prohibit the
sale ot ardent spirits within such cor
porate limics. In the course of the ar
ticle the Local said :
"This gigantic march of 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 tl.e order of the day, and we
are half inclined to hand in our peti
tion to Brother Whitaker as soon as he
returns home.1'
Our friend, Brother Whitaker, Editor
oF the Friend of Temperance, the organ
Of that order in the State, takes our
article as it was meant, and says :r
"We copy the above' from the Local
columns of the Daily News of this city,
tor the purpose of stating that Brother
Whitaker has returned, and he will
take pleasure in recommending Captain
Woodson to membership in the Friends
of Temperance. The Captain will
mike a valuable accession to our noble
Order, and with an occasional gdod
word from his pen, may do the caussof
total abstinence immense service.
"We already have in our Order
brothers Wilsons, of theKinston Gazette,
Stamps, ot the Tarboro Enquirer,
Mitchell, of the Louisburg Courier,
Foote, of the Warren ton Gazette, Gar
rett, (local) ot the ' Fayettevilh? .Eagle,
Sandford, et the Pe Dee Courier, lynight,
of the Wadesboro Herald, Hough, ot
the Fireside Friend, and perhaps others,
equally clever.
"Come in, brother Woodson; you will
bs in good company."
The tpirit of the Age, of this city, the
organ of the Order ot Good Templars
in this State, tecs fit to place the article
of the News in a different light. Says
that paper :
"We. were sorry to see the above
article in a late issue of the Raleigh
Daily News. It is faulty in taste,
taulty in moral.-, and reflects no credit,
either on the man who wrote it, or the
paper in' which it appeared. This is
not the first time, by several, that this
paper has attempted to ridicule the
causj ot Temperance - and its ad
vocates. We like the News and
its Editors. Captain Williams was once
our pupit, and we entertain a strong
personal regard for him. His qualities
of head and heart are such as command
the esteem of all who know him. Mr.
Stone, the business manager, we knew
veais a-io in Petersburg, and towards
him and the intelligent and witty Local
Editors, Messrs. Woodson & Syme, we
cherish the most kindly feelings. We
have received courtesies from them all,
and we wish them-well, and because we
wish them and their paper well, we give
them a gentle hint by asking the iol
lowing questions :
"Is it the deliberate purpose of the
Raleigh News to ridicule the cause ol
Temperance?
"Do its Editors propose to make it
the champion of Iutemperance and the
orjxan of t lie gnS sellers i
"It is in danger ot being so regarded
bv many ot our bust citizens."
We thank the Editor ot the Sjnritoj
the Aqe, Dr. Prithard, lor the kindly
sentiments he expresses towards th
Editors ot the News, and hope we may
ever merit his nood oninious. But in
the absence of Capt. Woo.lson. the Lo
cal Editor of the News, we feel culled
upon to reply to the remarks of Dr
Piitchard.
The News is not nor has ever been an
ad.ccAte ot the temperance cause, nor
is it an advocate ot intemperance. It
is what it professes to be. a political and
news journal. Its columns, however,
have evet been oneu and free to those
who are advocating the cause in which
the Spirit of the Age is engaged, yet we
have never felt ourselves under any ob
ligations to become the peculiar champ
ions of the Friends ot temperance or
Order ot Good Templars. Both .of them
have our best wishes for their success
But we shall ever deem ourselves at lib
erty to speak in any 'manner we may
think. ht ot any ubjtct whatever, so
long as we feel that we are not violating
unv ot the acuno wledued laws ot mo
j 4,
raiitv or virtue.
In iustice to the Political Editor of
the News, to whom reterenee is made
in the above extract, we wouul state
that he is in no respect responsible lor
any article that may appear in our local
columns. He rarely sees any local mat
ter until alter it is published.
As we have made no war upon the
temperance papers, as some of our St;ite
cotemporaiies have done, but have
rather given them aid whenever desired,
we think the attack of the Spirit of the
Age is both uncalled for and unjust.
We copy the following article, without
endorsing it, from a late number ot the
Piedmont Press, only to show how some
of our cotemporaries have attacked the
position of that paper. Says the Press:
"The Spirit of the Age, a temperance
paper published at Raleigh, advocates
making liquor selling or drinking, a
cause of non-eligibiity to church mem
ueiship,says an Ex.
"Yes. and we always set such felloes
down as lauatics, and regard tliem as
dangerous to the morals of society as
rum-sellers and tipplers."
In conclusion, we must be permitted
io wpi-Muui "-B'- i
the Ji.ge uia not iais.e me same view oi
our article as did -the Friend of Tem
perance, which was not intended as any
slur upon the temperance cause, but
wiitten in the usual good-humored style
of our Local Editor.
The Spiung Trade. We failed to
invite attention yesterday to the adver
tisements of Messrs. Davis, Drake &
Co.. of Petersburg, Va. i hi3 is one of
the largest dry goods houses in the
South, aud offer as many inducements
to the trade as can be found elsewhere
Messrs. Davis, Drake cc Co., are too
well known to the North Carolina pup
lie to need any commenaation at our
hands.
Oua Capitol and the Olden Time
egislators. A Convention of the
people of this State met at Hillsboro,
on the 21st ot July 1788, to take into
consideration the Constitution of the
United States, and to fix on a place for
holding the future meetings of the Gen
eral Assembly, and place of residence
of the Chief Officers of the State. The
Convention resolved not to fix on any
one particular point, but determined
that the Capitol should be erected
within ten miles of the place agreed on.
A ballot was taken, and a maioritv
voted "lor the plantation whereon Isaac
lunter now resides in the county of
Wake," but the General Assembly was
authorized to meet elsewhere until con
venient buildings could be erected. In
1789 and 1790 the General Assembly
met in Fayettevilleand in 1791 92 in
Newoern. At the latter session, the
above selection was confirmed, and
Frederick Harnett, Willie Jones, Joseph
McDowell, i'homas Blount, VYihiarn
Johnston Dawson and Jame9 Martin.
isqs., Commissioners, purchased oq the
5th day t4 April, 1792, of Joel Lane,
one thousand acres of land, "at Wake
Court House," lor the use of the public.
1 he "city" was called RALEiGH.in honor
of Sir Walter Raleigh, who in 1584 fit
ted out the first expedition that landed
on the shores of North Carolina, and
who in 1587 despatched a number of
colonists to Roanoke Island in this
State under the charge of John White,
who was duly commissioned "Govern.
or ot the citv ot lialeieli. ' which
"city" was laid out on the Northern
end ot Roanoke Ishland.
The corner stone of the first Capitol
was laid earlv in 1792, and the Legisla
ture met in Raleigh for the first time qn
the 31st of December, 1794. Unlike
our present Capitol, there was no pro
vision in the first for the public offices.
The offices of the Secretary of State and
Comptroller were in a building on the
northern boundary of the Capitol
Square, immediately in front of the pre
sent National Hotel, while the Gover
nor's office was at the le!t of the Wash-
ngton Monument as you enter trom the
south gate, and immediately opposite
was the Treasurer's and Adiutant Gene
ral's offices. The records, beina stored
n the outer buildings, wrere not
destroyed with the Capitol when it was
burned on the 21st of June, 1831.
An amusing incident has been related
to us in connection with the burning of
the Capitol: William Hill, (father of
Dr. Wra. G. Hill) was Secretary of State,
and while the Capitol was in flames,
being exceedingly solicitous to preserve
the invaluable records of his office, he
procuied vehicles and removed his
books and papers to the square on which
the Deaf and Dumb Institution now
stands, where they were dumped out
in great contusion. Alter the tore was
t -i 1 li t
over, he had them carried uack to nis
office (which had not been burned,) and
began the tedious task ot re-arranging
them. The late Judge Badger came in
and finding Secretary Hill hard at work,
remarked that lie would Lot "straighten
out those papers for $5,000." By great
exertion, however, the Secretary suc
ceeded in re arranging them, and at the
next session of the General Assembly a
resolution w7as introduced proposing to
pay Mr. Hill $500 for his extra work.
The resolution was rejected, and a
resolution censuring Mr. Hill for "endan
gering the State's papers," was adopted
in its stead ! .
At this date, when the systematic
and careful manner in which Mr. .Hill
kept his papers is known and appre
ciated by all who have had occasion to
examine records of his office during
his extended term, this vote ot censure
is amusing . It was certainly a most
extraordinary and undeservid reflection
oh one of the most faithful officers who
ever served the State.
In those days there were no railroads,
and but few members of the General
Assembly could reach Raleigh by the
old stages, so most of them came on
horseback, on the day preceding the
meeting of the General Assembly, and
some of the main roads leading into the
city presented very much the appear
ance of a holiday. The people living
back from the roads came out to see the
line horses oi the Members and as they
pas.-ed on the members resembled de
tachments ot cavalry. On their arrival
in the city, they lound many country
people who came iu for the purpose of
making arrangements for taking Care of
the hoists during the session." The
horses were brought in every Saturday,
so that the owners could see how they
were being cared for, and Dr. Miller, of
Cleaveland, informed us at the last ses-
sion (lS72-'73,) that it was quite excit
ing to wituess the horse-racings on
Hillsboro and Newborn streets, between
the Legislators on Saturdays.
An Old Landmark Gone. Yester
day afternoon, about 5 o'clock, the
alarm of fire was given by the bell at
the Metropolitan Market House. It
was occasioned by the burning ot what
was known as the old "Seweil Place"
on Newbern Avenue. It seems that the
building caught from sparks from the
chimney, and the roof being T.ke an old
tinder box, the building was soon
wrapped in flames. The building was
occupied by C. W. Lambeth, Esq., and
we are glad to know that all the furni
ture was saved except that ot two
rooms. We suppose that this housefwas
one of the, oldest in the city, as the Hate
of its erection goes back some sixty
years, and around it clusters the many
memories dear to the heart ot many old
inhabitants of this placed This old
1 welling was once the centre of hospita
lity and fashion, and its rooms have
been adorned by the presence of North
Ca olina's most distinguished sons.
Would that we had the necessary data
to give a sketch of the history of this
building. It was one, of Raleigh's
landmarks, and its destination destroys
one of the links in the chain connecting
the present with the past. We learn
that the property is owned by Wm.
Beach, Eiq., of Philadelphia, who pur
chased it from Gen. B. Grimes.
One Hundked Agents Wanted.
Prof. P. S. Hicks, of this city, advertis
es elsewhere this morning that he
wants one hundred agents. See his
notice.
A Happy Man. One might tell
without knowing it, that the Editor of
the Rocky Mount Mail is a newly mar
ried man. His editorials, his selections,
his local items, his poetical quotations,
all gush witlwhappiness delight, ec
stacy i
The roseate hue of bliss tinges every
thought and bieathes through every
line of his last issue. He talks about
wives as angels, marriage as the consum
mation of earthly joys, divine benedic
tions, &c., &c, &c.
But this is the honey-moon, you
know, and a few blissful expletives may
be pardoned.
Perhaps brother Thorp is like the
fox, and wants to get all the editorial
dogs in the same category with himself.
(jSote. Woodson is absent in Gran
ville.) Brother Thorp advises all the
young men to get married. He wants
to congratulate 'em all he doe3 on
the realization of some of the happi
ness he now feels. Happy man!
Still Another. ince writing the
above, we have seen McSween, of the
Fayettetille Eagle, who is en route to his
home in Fayetteville, from a bridal
tour to New York, and is stopping at
the Y'arboro.
Mc. says he can endorse the advice of
the Editor of the Rocky Mount Mail
that he would be glad to 6ee all ot his
young friends married lor he thinks
married life a great improvement on
single cossedness.
Mc. looks happy and we doubt not he
is sincere bnt we " can't see it" now.
(Woodson is in Granville.)
Semi-Weekly Gazette, We re
ceived yesterday the first issue of the
Semi-Weekly Kinston Gazette. We are
glad to see this evidence of prosperity
on the part of its worthy and clever
Editor Mr. Wilson.
If the people ot Kioston and Lenoir
will sustain the Gazette as they ought,
it will do more than any other means
to advance the material interests of
their town and county.
We ltke the tone of the Gazette. Its
enterprising Editor deserves to be sus-
tained.
Musical and Literary Entertain
ment. Friday evening there was a most
charming musical and literary enter
tainment at the Peace Institute The
audience was large but select, as it was
invited. Both in their musical perfor
mances, and literary recitations, the
young ladies acquitted themselves
admirably, and the hearers left at the
end of the entertainment with the im
pression that the course at Peace
Institute was adapted in every way to
fit young ladies to become useful mem
bers of society.
The State Fair. Says the Asheville
Citizen of a recent date :
"It seems that the citizens of Raleigh
display a lamentable carelessness to
wards the interests of the State Fair.
They refuse to subscribe enough to even
fit up, in a suitable manner, grounds for
the annual exhibition. Charlotte offers
inviting inuueements, and it would not
surprise us if the society holds its fu
ture rairs at that point. Let those
most liberally disposed receive the ben
efit." .-; . ; '
Lost Volume. The Editor of the
Roanoke News says that on Wednesday
morring last he placed upon the Ral
eigh train, in charge of a treind. a bun
dle containing the first volume of that
paper, to be conveyed to Mr Armstrong
ot this citv to be bound. I he said
bundle was lost and the Editor is anx
ious to recover it. Any one raiding the
same will confer a favor upon him bv
tlelivering it to Mr. Armstrong.

States.. He will give in our next a
review of manv - things' which he6aw
