Mr. Wilson, of the Kin ston Gazette, who was a delegate to the recent State Convention of the Friends of Temperance at Statesville, gives an interesting account in hi3 paper of his triD aVoni the roule. lie speaks as . I crt , . follows concerning our city : 'About nightfall we arrived at Ral eigh where we spent the night and the next day in visiting friends, sight see ing, etc. Here we met many of the Press transr. to many of whom are we indebted for kiuduess, and especially to Capt. Williams of the Daily News, to whose loersonal attentions and sacrifice of valiiaTjle time do we owe much o the pleasure of our visit while in the city. We did not see brother Woodson ot the Nkws, for he, "sniffing the battle afar off in the breeze ' would not await oar coming, but promptly betook him sell to Orange Court that we might pass him in the night. W hile in Raleigh we noted many maiked improvements in the erection and adornment of many large and handsome residences and busiuess houses. Oi course we stopped at the 'National' where we could not fail to enjoy all those home-like com forts ol elegantly furnished rooms, clean bedf, luxurious fare and polite attention for wnich the Manager, Mr. Partin, and the Proprietors, MtS3rs. Ba&ley & Hay wood are proverbial." Fine Chewing Tobacco and Cigars. Having been a user of the weed, both in chewing and smoking, we know whereof we speak. The 4,Thomas Keen" chewing tobacco and the ''Panar telea" cigars are most excellent brands Indeed, we have rarely ever seen their .superior as to quality and flavor. R. H. 11 tadley, at his Confectionery Store, on Fnvettoville street, just above tbe Yar borough House, is now prepared to fur nish these articles to the public. All ye who enjoy a quid or a smoke should call on him and you will not regret it. 1 ' YOL. II. r H JSir n i -M-mi rroeeediBSV.ol the Grand Xodge i.o. o. r. THIRD DAY. The Grand Lodge met at 9 a. m. yes iefdayv r The , Grand j Officers elected on the day previous were then regularly an' and fore duly installed. Names hereto!' given. Upon assuming the chair, Grand Master Bagley spoke as follows: Past Grakds: . - - I should be indifferent to the prompt ings of my heart, did I not give utterance to the gratitude I feel towards you lor this undeserved manifestation of your kindness and confidence. , To be the Chief Executive of or.e of the Grand Jurisdictions of the noblest and grandest institution which man's benevolence has organized for the amelioration of the afflicted and dis tressed, is an honor which the greatest might covet, and one, as humble as my self, should accept with trembling and fear. But, however, unequal to the task which your partiality has imposed, I recognize in no brother a firmer devo tion to the principles of our Order, or a more earnest determination to carry out its objects. In these, I claim to be the peer of the greatest among us ; and trusting that these will compensate tor other defects ; aud relying upon the older and wiser heads to counsel and encourage, and the stronger hands to up hold and support me, I shall, with less fear, enter upon the discbarge of my official duties. What those duties are, lo:m up before me almost mountain high. What ought to be done, I can see we all can see. What can be done; I know not, and you know not, until we have tried. Shall we not, ail who are here, during the year belore us, try and see that that shall be done, which ouqht to be done? Then let us go back to those whom we represent, and by glow ing recitals of how the Fraternal hosts, by hundreds of thousands, on other fields than ours, are gathering to fight ignorance, sorrow and sin, inspire them to an unflinching determination to do what .they and we know ought to be done. Thirty years ago our little North Car olina army started with their subordi nates, in the ranks Weldon, No. 1, Cape Fear, No. 2, and Washington, No. 3. Slowly but firmly they took np their march, gathering sixty-four other re cruits on the way, making sixty-seven subordinates, each, for the time, a host within itself. On their journey to-day, we call the roll, and only twenty, (20) answer to the call! Forty-seven, (47; are -missing" ! Where are they ? Some are sick, some have become wearied and fainted by the' wray-side, and some, are dead ! Our Order teaches us "to take care of the sick and bury the dead." Let us obey its teachings. Let us but pause to drop a tear ot regret upon the -itvo r the dead we have buried, and hasten alter the new recruits. They are await ing the rich bounty we can offer the orphans' thanks and the widows' pray ers! Let nurses go back, on the old track of the army, and look up the sick and the weary. Let them speak words of hone, of encourasement and ot the bright triumph which awaits U3 ahead Let us but do this.and we shall soon hear, at our yearly roll-call responses to the names ol many ancient comrades who have been almost forgotten, and of more han enough new recruits to replace those of the departed !, To assist in the accomplishment ol such a result shall be my constant ambition and endeavor; and in lurtherance ot that endeavor I invoke the aid and co-ope- ation of everv member of this Grand Body and ot every good Odd-Fellow. The Grand Master closed by making the following appointments : Worthy Oranel Marshal Joseph Ilild- sheiir.er, Greenboro. , Worthy Oranel Conductor James W Albright, Greensboro. .Worthy Grand Guard iein 1L T.

If our correspondent would write on one side of the paper only, it would be a great convenience t3o us : ' The anniversary meeting or the rauklin County Bible Society was leld in the Baptist church in Louisburg ast Sabbath. Rev. Dr. Royall, the worthy and efficient President, was ab sent on account of sickness, and Rev. aul J. Carraway presided by request. After the reading and adoption ot reports, submitted by. the Secretary and Treasurer, an election of officers for the ensuing year was held, with, the foilow- g result : Rev. P. J. Carraway, President. C. M. Cooke, Vice President; E. W. Fuller, Secretary. J. S. Barrovy, Treasurer. M. S. Davis, Thos. White and S. T. Wilder, Executive Committee. The society was then addressed by Rev. P. A. Strobel, the able and ener getic Agent of the American Bible So ciety for the State of North Carolina. Trie adaress was listened to by a arge and attentive audience, after which a collection amounting to fifty dollars was taken un to aid iu earning our. the object of the Society. The Franklin , County Bible Society was organized in 1840, and has been in successful operation ever since. At the first meeting held the follow ing officers were chosen : Rev. John Thompson President. , Robert J. Shaw Vice President. Thomas D. Fleury Secretary. Smith Patterson Treasurer. i"nn5' "r -w4)o took an active part in its organization the following! names may be mentioned : Abraham Spencer, Thos. G. Stone, John Bobb.tt, Ricky Furma'n, Nathan Patterson aud any others who have long since passed away. Rev. Mr. btrobel preached a short, sweet Gospel sermon Sunday night in the Methodist church. The audience was rather small iu consequence ol the severe rain, wind antl nail storm late in the afternoon. Rev. P. Ai Strobel has made a most favorable impression1 on our community, in const queuce 'ot his gentlemanly and courteous deportment. We think him the right man in the right place, and we heartily commend him aud his mission to the citizens of North Carolina. God speed him in the good work the spreading ol the Bible. Unprecedented Freshet in ti e Yaddin River Great Destruction of Prorerey. From our correspon dent R. F. 11., ot Wilkesboro, in this State, we learn that the rate rains in Wilkes county produced a tremendous lreshet in the Yad kin River, which did almost incalcua- ble destiuction to private property, and greatly retarding the farming operations in that section. " : The water in the Yadkin rose higher than at any period within the memory of the oldest inhabitants sweeping away fences and submerging ploughed fields to such an extent as to make reparation ol the injury impossible at this late season. On m:'.ny farms bordering on the river not a fence is to be seen, and the soil which had been ploughed presents the appearance of a peeled surface- with deep holes here and there washed jy the recent ifjod. I he farmers in Wilkes are very gloomy at the presqnt dolelul prospects or a crop this year. A Severe Test, On Monday the new gas aparatus at the Yatboro House underwent the severest test that could have been given it, r od one that fully satisfied the most increuuious. bome said it would not burn in the hot months of July and August, while others af firmed that one freezing night in Dc cember would put a stop to its brillian cy. To show all of this mistake, a coi of pine, one hundred leet long, was run through a hall barrel and in this barre hot water was poured to raise the tern perature lar above that of the hottest day. The water was poured off and ice and salt substituted and permitted to remain for two hours and, we are happy to say, that neither extreme made the slightest difference in the light. Besides being brilliant it has tbe advantage of being cheap and perfectly safe. Supreme Council. The Supreme Council of the Fiiends of Temperance, in the United States, will meet in this city on the 24th day of June next. On which occasion some of . the most emi nent temperance workers of the country will visit Raleigh. Our people may ex pect some fine speeches on that occa sion. "'. ' ' '; ' ' -.''" . The Social and Athletic base ball clubs of this city, play, a mafch'ga'me at tbe old Fair Grounds this afternoon. SATUR DAY MORNING. Louisecrg a!m Franklin County Items. Our Louisburg correspondent sends us the following from his section : The rain on the afternoon ot the 8th inst. (Thursday) is universally conceded to be one of the heaviest and most de structive in its effects ever known in this section. Fences were washed away, and growing crops of corn, cotton, &c., de stroyed. The hail storm on the follow ing Sunday was unexpected an.d very injurious, blowing down fences and greatly damaging young fruit, wheat, cotton and breakipg out window panes, &c, One gentleman, near Maple Spring church, had upwards of one hundred paries of glass broken in his dwelling and kitchen. On Wednesday Mr. II. J. Calisher met w ith a most singular and miracu lous escape. He was driving down to his store on Sandy Creek (Major Speed's old place) in a one horse spring wagon, and when near Col. 1 J. F. Jones' mill hoisted his umbrella, which frightened the horse, causing him to daub. off. In a moment the wagwwas capsized, catching Mr. C. under the body. In this unpleasant predicament Mr. C. remained from 12 m. to 7 p. m., only extricating himself by cutting through the bottom of the wagon vith-a large pocket knife. In the meantime the horse succeeded by a series of violeit maneuvers in releasing himself from the gear and proceeded to graze in the neighborhood, and wdien Mr. C. got from under the wagon followed him quietly to the store, a mile distant. Mr. C. was badly bruised and injured about the shoulders, head and hands, and the horse lost an eye in beating his head against the ground. We are glad to hear that Mr. C. is rapidly recovering from his hurts.- His escape from death or serious injuries was a narrow one. On Tuesday last Mr. Calisher met with another misfortune, lie lost his beautiful black Canadian horte ''Prince John. The horse sickened and died very suddenly, and it is conjectured that he was poisoned, as the post mortem did not shsw grubs, colic or anything of that kind. After long years of endeavor, we have at last got a daily mail from Franklin ton, and it is a source of great con venience to the people. Marrying is, aud will be, the order of the day with us lor several weeks to come ; the preachers leading and mer chants, editors, Occ, following suit. Mil liners are kept very busy. The west and the east have joined hands. Major D. S. Hilt is improving. It is said that the pbysicans of the central and eastern part of the State will generally attend the Convention of the North Carolina Medical Association whic'i convenes at Statesville on the 20th inst.

Arriving at the hotel at the Springs, ic day was spent in innocent amu-e- mcr.ts, in which all enjoyed themselves to their hearts' content. Dinner was soon announced, and the happy party sat down to tables groaning beneath he weight of excellent food. The ex cursionists leached the city on the their return, at half past seven, when their pastor, Dr. Atkiuson, returned thanks to God lor the blessings iust enioved, and all went to their homes delighted with the trip. . The IIuMPniiEY-House. The mem bers of the Press of the Statejn attend ance upon the late' Convention held at Goldsboro were the guests of mine host Dr. Wright, of the Humphrey House, who feasted us upon everything that w;;s goou, and entertained us in tne most hospitable manner. Thellumpltrey House is at present the most-handsome hotel building in the State, is well fur nished, and we wish D. Wright that needs of success which his efforts de serve.
