VOL. II.
The IIouse OP C. W. Grandy "&
Sons. We copy the following article
concerning this enterprising house from
the Norfolk Virginian, heartily endors
ing all therein said :
"The bright prospects opening out
for the iutuie of our city, the ranklt has
already won as a cotton market, and the
great increase in its trade, with the ex
ertions which are beirig made by our
merchants to expand theirbusiness con
nection?, has attracted and is attracting
attention x throughout the country.
Among the mercantile firms of our city
that have been unceasing in their efforts
to produce these results, none have. done
more than that of the well known gen
eral commission house of C. W. Grandy
& Sons. It is one ot our oldest, largest
and wealthiest firms, and has through
its admirable business management, its
high standing, the promptness with
w dch it has always attended to business
confided to its care, and the untiring 4
and unceasing efforts , of the ' in
dividual members of the firm, as well as
all connected with it, has won areputa
tion and a rank that is indeed most
flattering. The house established in
1845, the senior member of the firm, C.
VV. Grandy, Sr., coming from our
neighboring State, North Carolina, a
State which has furnished us with so
many of our best business men and citi
zens. The business of the house is
strictly commission, and to this their
entire energies and exertions are con
fined. Through them a good deal of
trade that formerly went to New York,
Baltimore and other chic's has been
stopped here. This they have been able
to accomplish, by setting lorth, in nu
merous circulars, which they have scat
tered in profusion among the planteisof
Eastern and Middle North Caiolina,aud
Southeastern Virginia, the many and
superior advantages Norfolk affords as
a market, by clearly exhibiting the Tact
that the ntt returns to the producer on
his commodities sold here are larger
than those received from any other
market, and thus large shipments ol
cotton ate made to this house ship
ments which yearly increase in magni
tude, owing to the willingness of the
House to accord their patrons every
facility. Having ample means, they are
prepared to offjr very superior induce
ments by honoring sight drafts
made agaiu&t shipments to them,
and uiaKiug liberal cash ad
vances ou bills ot lading in hand. Ap
plicants can alvva)s get any amount they
may want from tiiem upon proper secu
rity, payments to bo made by shipment
of crops. Besides, we are iuiornied that
the linn forwards cotton and other pro
duce ci.ect to Liverpool, or to any
market their friends may desire, with
outextra charge for forwarding, charg
ing only one commission, whether sold
by themselves or their consignees in
other markets. The advantage's accru
ing to our city by this house in the in
crease of our trade in groceries, dry
goods, bojts and shoes and merchandize
generally are very great. Doing, as be
tore remarked, an exclusively commis
sion business, they received daily large
orders lrom their army of friends lor
supplies, and the amouut of money
thuo spent in our city lrom his source
alone is much m the item ot Norloik's
prosperity.
"The long and large experience of
this house, and its great lacilities, as
briefly stated above, enables it to com
pare lavoiably with any house North
or South, audihe confidence which is re
posed in it by its numerous lriends and
patrons a confidence which ua.s grown
with the growth and streugthend with
the strength ol the firm ia but a just
tribute to the worth, ability and iuieg
rity of C. W. Grandy & Sons."

been described :s lonu ago as the first

mining operation ws undertaken
about. 1850 by a New Yoik purty,
and a, tunnel was driven in
ou the vein aUout 1,000 feet, and about
1,000 barrels of cleaned graphite was
obtained, 1 he mineral is not pure, but
is mixed with about 40 per cent, of band
and earthly matter, which is removed
by a peculiar process ot washing. It is
said that ihe property has recently been
purchased' by anotner party who pro
poses to re-Open the mines.
There are many other veins of this
valuable mineral iu the State, bu: all
those of any size are of the samequali
ty as this ol Wuiie county; and are not
adapted to the most important uses ol
this iiiinerai, which are the making ot
pencils and of steel crucibles. The ma
terial for these purposes is still obtained
mostlv from abroad.

RALEIGH N.
Oxford Items. Our Oxford Corres
pondent, writing under date of yester
day, nends us the following from that
place :
Mr. Thomas J. Pittard came to town
last week and tied his horse, as i3 his
custom, in the lot in rear of the store of
Messrs. Herndon, Hunt & Co. About
4 o'clock p. m. Mr. Pittard discovered
that his horse had left the lot, but sup
posed as a matter of course that he had
returned home. Iu this supposition,
however, he was mistaken. He. has thus
far been unable to get any clue as to
the whereabouts ot his horse, and think
it not improbable tltat he lias been
stolen.
It is reported that a large ball dog,
the property of Rev. Chasteen Allen,
broke loose from his confinement with
in the past few days, and, is killing
sheep on an extensive scale. Madame
Tiumor has it, that he has slain some
twenty thirty belonging to Messrs.
Franklin B. and to. II. Hester
and others, have suffered similarly from
his depredations. His tenure on life
hangs by a tender thread, as it is likely
to be sapped as soon, as he puts in au
appearance in propria penoia.
For some time past Elder It. D. Hart
has been laboring under serious indis
position, being confined to his room at
the house of his son-in-law, Mr. Alexan
der Crews. He has sufficiently recovered
to walk about town, and is considered
by himself, and physician, as standing a
fair chance to recover, although consi
derably enfeebled by his recent severe
attack.
Mr. James A. Patillo, from whom a
tumor weighing twenty pounds was
amputated by Dr. Christopher John
son, of Baltimore, one of the most em
inent surgeons in the United States, an
account of which has been published
in the News, was in town on Satur
day the 30th inst., and was looking
hale and hearty. Dr. J. was fifteen min
utes in cutting off the immense excre
sauce owing to the number of arteries
that had to be tied upas he proceeded,
yet Mr. Patillo' had the resolution to
submit to the terrible ordeal without
taking chloroform. Mr. Patillo is an
estimable citizen and speaks in the
highest let ms of the gentlemanly bearing
of Dr. Johnson, from whom he received
many marks of kin.lnes;.
Mr. White, of Elliott s White, Nor
folk and Mr. Piummer, of E. H. Plum
mer & Co , Petersburg, were on a visit
io Oxford, on Tuesday, in the in
terests ol the firms respectively that they
represent. At, the Osborne House thev
partook of tome of the celebrated Oden-
heimer Sauce manufactured bv John E.
Odenheimer, E.-q., and immediately
thereupon purchased a gallon to take
with them home. II your voracious
Local Editor, Mr. Woodson, is in want
i.f any of this sauce, which is really a
good appetizer, tell him to telegraph at
once, or Mr. Odenheimer will not be
able to supply him with more than one
hundred gallons.
In the matter of holding an election
in the section of country that it was
thought would be taken dff ironi Gran
ville and added to Franklin, Judge
Watts ha3 granted an injuction, which
deleats tiiat object lor the present and
perhaps lor all time.
Arch Williams Cotton Sled. As
will be seeu by the advertisement in this

favor, we can only repeat that in our
opinion the yield and lint is not ex
celled by any cotton in u?e, and we
seriously doubt equalled.
It is something eutiiely new, thy seed
having been imported by Mr. Williams
himsell, who. aiter expeiiuieutiug fully,
declares the cotton io be, not only ot
the finest quality, burtbe yield larger
than any othr known to him. .
From a long personal acquaintance
with Mr. Williams, wc can conscienti
ously assert that .Aorth Carolina can
boast ol no man more reliable in every
particular than Aich Williams, of

of his present whereabouts:

Deatii of Dr. Solomon Williams
A Good Man Gone. We are deeply
pained, to hear of the death of Dr.
Solomon Williams, which occurred at
his residence, near Shady Grove, Warren
county, on Wednesday the 2d inst.
Dr. Williams wTas about eighty years
old at the tim'e ot his' death. He had
lived to a ripe old age, and died, as he
had lived with, the respect, affection
and reverence of his relatives, neigh
bors and lriends. f
For many years he had been a devoted
and pious member of the Methodist
church. As a physician, as a citizeD,
as a friend, and as a Christian,
he performed his duty laithfully, con
scientiously, usefully, and his death will
cause a vacancy in his neighborhood
which, perhaps.will never be filled.
We trust that some pen more compe
tent than ours will do jastice to his
memory, and pay an appropriate tribute
to his distinguished services and Chris
tian virtues. "'
The Right Men in the Right

to solicit contributions to the Fair, went
zealously to work yesterday morning,

confident of raising the remainder ot
the ten thousand in their complete

glad to state that the colored citizens

ot doing something, a su1committee of

Suicide ami Robberies Denied
Burial of the Dead,&c.
Halifax, N. S., April 4. A steamer
has just arrived from the wreck steamer
Atlantic. The ship is almost intact.
Only a few packages of her cargo have
come ashore. The report that Mrs.
Fisher's body had been found wa3 not
correct.
The story in some of the papers that
Albert Sumner committed suicide is
false. One of -his friends, who was
saved, says Mr. Sumner held on to the
wreck as l.onw as he could, and then
was washed off by the Sea. The Captain
says the stories ot the mutilation of
bodies by the crew are fa Is?, and reports
of robberies are largely ex
aggerated. He says the people
at Prospect did all they could
for the living and the dead, but among
the crowds who flocked to the place
from the surrounding country there
were some who rilled the bodies when
ever they could get a chance. The col
lector of customs is awaiting instruc
tions from headquarters, and will pro
bably commence an investigation this
evening' and in- the morning. 'The
Captain cau give no explanation of the
cause of the disaster, except miscalcule-
tions as to the current, and the vessel s
speed. Great numbers of people are
leaving in steamers going down to the
wreck.
Last night a coal train from Picton
ran off the track west of Truo soon
after Inter-Colonial express train
from Saint Johns, New Brunswick,
came along and ran into the freight.
Ihe engineer Camerou,and the baggage
master, Hunt, were killed. None of the
passengers were injured. Among pas
sengers were agents ot the White Star
line who were coming to Halifax to
look after the Atlantic. ;'. '
One hundred and sixty-lour is the
exact number of bodies louud up to
this morning. The, work ; of burying
them has commenced and a gang ol
men will be se.nt down this evening to
help the fishermen in that woik. The
bodies of J. II. Price, Henry L. Hewitt,
Mr. Merritt and Miss Merrrtt, of New
"iorkj Albert Sumner, of San Francisco,
Henry Metcalf, the.second ofiicer, were
brought up to the city.
Later. Nolstone will be left un
turned to recover the"followiug bodies:
C. M. Fisher and wife,otVermont ;
W: J. Speat, wife, son and daughter, of
Nevada : Henry L. Wellington, ofBos
ton : Mrs Merritt, Miss Scrysmer and
Mr. Knight, of New York ; Miss Brodie
and Miss Barker, of Chicago ; Mr.
Bnntley, Mrs. Davidson and daughter,
of England
Beside what was reported this morn
ing as recovered, this completes the list
of the cabin passengers who were lost.
Caps. Williams and assistants searched
the island around the wreck thoroughly
last night and picked out from among
the many bodies brought ashore, those
reported this morning, which had been
telegraphed fjor by liieuds. The bodies
reported recovered this morning have
been dressed aud placed in inetanc
coffins and await arrival of friends and
relatives tojtake them in charge
It is thought the bodies will hardly
remain in a condition to be examined
The coffins have been sealed and made

i .
Another trip will be maue to the
wreck to-morrow. The stewards and
men acquainted with the passengers
have been left in charge of the wreck to
take care of tlie bodies as they washed
ashore. Jno. Bdndtlv was lost. His
name was put in the list of saved by
mistake, one of the passengers having
mistaken another for him. It is now
proposed to bring ail the bodies lo this
city, and bury them together in the
public cemeteiy, and erect a monument
over them." The City Council, on appli
cation ot . the Provincial government,
resolved this' afternoon to place a lot in
