There being no lurtber business, the meeting adjourned. 11. T. FuLGncii, Sec'y. Truck Gardening. A few evenings since we visited the gardens of -Professor Fairchild's near the city limits, and were pleased to find him still progress ing in his operations. We learned from the Professor that he is unable to supply the demand on him for vegetables. Mr. Bo9hier, who has also a large truck gar den, Bays the same, as also other gar eners around the city. To those of our enterprising young (or old) men who are waiting lor something to turn up, we would suggest truck gardening as the most profitable business we know ot. Lectures by Dr. Northrop. The mission of Miss Bacon to this city, in the intrests of education, is beginning to yield its fruits. Dr. B. G. Nor fcrop, Secretary of the Connecticut State Board of Education, one ol. the mos eminent educators of the North, who has devoted almost his whole life time to this cause, has been induced by Mis3 B., to aid us in the effort being made to establish a first-class High Free School in this city. He proposes to visit Raleigh on Friday or Saturday, June 13th or 14th, and aid us by deliver ing two lectures on "The Schools of Europe, and "The Influence oi Educa tion in promoting Thrift and Wealth." He proposes to lecture gratuitously. When it is known that in the lecture field, before Eastern audiences, these lectures have commanded crowded houses of the most intellectual portion of .the people, night after nighr, some conception may be had of thf j yaie treat id sfofe fpr otir" citizens. Doctor Northrop has had long and extensive experience in educational matters, and has observed with attentive care the workings of the various systems of edu cation, both in this country and in Eu rope, and stands in the front rank of eminent scholars at the North. Besides, his whole soul is in this work. We learn be recently declined the tempting offer of Superintendent of the common schools of Japan, with a munificent sal ary, in order that he might devote his energies to the work at home. Miss Bacon has secured his influence in our behalf. He has already written to his esteemed friend. Dr. Sears, Agent oi the Peabody Fund, asking him to consider favorably the promising field opening in this sity. With the aid of such eminent and zealous workers in promoting education in this city, surely our citizens will not let pass this rare opportunity of establishing a first-class high school in our midst. Let all our citizens put their shoulders to the wheel, and keep the ball moving. Bonitz Sketches Raleigh. Our friend Bonitz, of the Goldsboro Messen ger, accom pained the recent excursion of the Baptist Sunday School of Goldsboro to Carey, and sojourned lor some little time in thi3 city. He writes about us as follows : "As short as our stay was in Raleigh we had the pleasure of meeting many warm friends. Wc made a short visit to the Institution of the Deaf,Dumb and Blind, now under the charge of our worthy friend, John Nichols, Esq., and are greatly indebted no him tor kindness shown us. It affords us pleasure to be able to state that thi3 institution is in a most excellent condition and continues to be a credit to the old North State. Mr. Nichols tells us that he has 80 deaf and dumb and 50 blind scholars. We were entertained with music, song and reading by the blind,and with the usual school exercises by the deaf-mutes, all OI WI11CU nu J J- inrtlno There is also a branch of this institution n Raleigh for colored people, and Mr. Nichols informs, us that 40 deaf and dumb and 20 blind are there being cared or. " Leaving the Institution ot the blind we soon iouna ourselves the recipient of Dr. Grissom's kind attention at the nsane Asylum. There are here 240 of the unfortunates. The Asylum is filled to its utmost capacity, and Dr. Grissom tells us that he has now nearly 200 ap plications on file. It is pitiful to be- jold the aspect of the inmates, but it afforded us pleasure to see them well provided and cared for. e met our friend and townsman, Dr. W. H. Fio- layscn, and were pleased to find him fully reconciled to his unfortunrte posi tion. The Doctor is doing as well as could be expected, he passes off his lonesome hours in reading and sleep ing, says he receives the Messenger every week, and reads it with the greatest deliiiht. He manifested much interest in matters about Goldsboro and seemed truly glad that we paid him a visit. On a luture occasion we may have more to say of this great institution, so ably conducted by Dr. Grissom, Calling at the office of the News, we found our friends, Capt. Sam'l T. Wil liams and Jordan Stone, Esq , well and up to their eves in business. 1 he News is one of the leading and best Dailies in the State and is a iavoriie exchange in our sanctum, as it is with every paper in the btate. W e are jilau to hear it is doing well. Long may its gentlemanly editors and publishers continue to enjoy the confidence and encouragement of our people. The News gives every evi dence of marked ability and ousht to be encouraged. We also called in at the office of the Sentinel, and found our esteemed friend Kingsbury, one of- its editors, at his post, and w ere glad to learn from him that that staunch conservative journal is ia a prosperous condition. Mr. Tur ner was not in, but we had the pleasure ot meeting our old lnend John bpel man, Esq., the local editor, on the streets apparently in search, of some interesting news items. Lon-2 may the Sentinel flourish. Is it So? We do not make the charge, but it is geneially rumored and believed in the city, that there is an order on the records of the City Clerks books requiring the City Clerk to issue city scrip to street hands and other employees, who have been paid in scrip lor the balance of wThat their scrip sold for in the market less than the tace ol the order. In other words, a street hand applies at the office, get his scrip to the amount 01 $10 for work done. A broker convenient, (he might be in a few steps bi the Clerk) gives him $5 for his scrip. Theemployee turns to the Clerk and gets $5 more in fecrip, and sells again for $2.50c, and so on.- At the close of this financial arrangement, the street hand will only have received his $10, and the city will have .given its bond for twice the amount. Ae'this a matter that closely concerns every tax payer in the city, we ask for light On the subject, and if it is not so, let tbe people know it. If it is so, we will let them kDow it. ' Raleigh Female Seminary. Mr. Hobgood, in a card in the Biblical Re- corder, states that this school is now in the niidst of the most prosperous ses sion of its history. Ninety students have matriculated, though, on account ot the unfinished state of the school building, he was forced to rent another house outside the corporate limits,which made the distance too great lor many of the city pupils. The new building is fast approaching completion, and will present a handsome appearance. 1 he grounds, we are in- ormed, will be beautifully arranged. and the building upplied with water, carried in pipes. We learn that last winter, our enter prising townsman, Col. Heck, suggested the importance of furnishing a gymnas sium for the young ladies, which sug gestion, we hope, will be carried into effect. The Principals have made arrange ments for supplying Jhe school with a new outfit of first-class pianos, and school desks of the most improved style. , The Art Department, for which they have procured the best available skill, will be taught according to mathemati cal principles of Shades, Shadows and Perspective. We are glad to hear of th eir efforts in this diiection. as too lttle attention has been paid in the South to the important and indeed es sential art of Drawing and Painting. In the Preparatory Department, the teaching force will bedoubled : and the best talents procured that they may pre pare studentd thoroughly for the Col- ege course, and thus be enabled to reach the high standard of education which they have proposed for them selves. Latin, French and English,,, will be taught thoroughly. In Latin, the effort will be made to enable students not only to convert Latin into English, but English into Latin with facility. 1 be same course will be pursued ; in French and in English, an effort will be made to make thorough scholars. the students not only in the Preparatory Department, but also in the Collegiate, taking an extensive course, and the Benior class will be required to study it philosophically. In mathematics, the best text books by English scholars will be used: and it will be taught so as to produce the ugliest mental development ot the pupil. Original examples will be of fered, both to give scope for the exercise of the students, and afford a test at ex aminations. In the sciences, rigid mathematical demonstrations will be required, and the subject connected with this science will be illustrated by a phisical and chemi cal apparatus. Geology will receive the attention its mportance demands. It will be illus trated and impressed, by specimens. 1 lie classes will, as occasion may offer. be taken on excursions to examine min erals for themselves. We are glad to have so many Female the prosperity and welfare ot our peo ple. Raleigh is bound to become an edu- tional centre,because of its healthfulness, accessibility, centrality and many op portunities for improvement to youug adics. LOUISBURG AND FRANKLIN COUNTY. Items. Our correspondent at Louis- burg gives us the following items : " As I predicted, we are having a re vival of marriages, the ministers lead- g off. The Rev. P. C. Carraway, our stationed minister, on the 15th inst., was married to Miss Mattie E., daughter of Dr. P. S. Foster. Rev. W. H.Bobbitt officiating. And on the 22nd inst., the Rev. G. W. Newell, resident Baptist minister at Wilson, married Miss Sarah E., daughter ot Mr. Wm. D. Coppedge, of this county, tbe Rev. Dr. Royall offi ciating. Rumor has it that several others are to follow at an early day. The Revs. C. E. Taylor and F. H. Ivey held an educational mass meetiBg at Maple Spring church last baturday and Sunday. I think much good was accomplished by tbe Convention. Mr. Ivey will do good service for the Wake Forest College endowment fund. The good rains otjthe last few weeks, and the hot sunshine now visiting us, have caused a most rapid improvement in our crops and gardens. Hands are in great demand at 75 cents and $1 per day. Good health now pervades our whole section. The closing exercises of both the Male Academy and the Female College of this' place will soon come off. They always form on interesting period of the year to the people of this vicinity. The New Organ in the PrfEsBY terian Church. We spent a pleasant hour on yesterday evening listening to the new Organ in the Presbvterian Church. Professor Bohlman opened the instrument with rather a lengthy per formance, but displayed the powers of the Organ very tuoroughly. For so few stops, it fs certainly very powerful, but "? ? 1 T by certain most ingenious coupiay ana mechanical contrivances, the power of the Organ is greatly increased, and is when the stops are used separately, very melodious and beautiful. The greatest feature in the Organ ia its pedal Bass. It is from the factory of one of the first Organ builders in the United States, Hook & Co. The Public Schools of McDowell County. We had the pleasure of see ing in our office yesterday Mr. W. II Ellington, of McDowell, who is con nected with the public schools of that countv. in aid of which a considerble amount of the Peabody Educationa Fund has been obtained through his influence. He ia here looking alter the interests of these schools, and we are pleased to learn from him that they are in a prosperouscondition. -To Contactors. See notice else where from the Secretary of the1 State Agricultural Society, calling for sealed proposals for 150,000 feet of dressed lum-ber. A Splendid Advertising Medium. Capt. R. T. Fulghum, the Secretary of the State Agricultural Association, is now engaged in getting up, in book form, the premium list of the thirteenth annual fair of the State Agricultural Society, 3,000 copies ot which will be issued throughout this State and por tions of Virginia and outh Carolina. A portion of this book will be devoted to advertisements, and will doubtless prove of invaluable benefit to those who may use it in this way. For information upon this subject, apply to Capt.

QUR LIVING AND OUR DEAD; Or Testimony from the Battle Fields. Under the above title I propose to pub lish nrst in newspaper, and subsequently in book form, a series of articles giving the war record of North Carolina from the elec tion of Lincoln in Nov., 1800, to the close of tne war oetween tne btates in May, 18C5. My plan embraces three divisions : 1st, Accounts of each skirmish and battle on the soil, or upon the watcisof North Carolina. 2d. Accounts of every battle fought during the war on the soil of any state, in which any of the troops of North Carolina took part especial care being taken to show Kutjinose troops did and suffered in each nown our officers aha m"e,rIarry"wOIl.', ou. A southern Chart lor all time." An explanation of the tnird division of the propose! plan.will be submitted at a later day. ' That L may successfully accomplish this arduous, but pleasing self-imposed work, I invoice the aia oi ail my brother soldiers. and ask them to furnish me material which can be arranged and digested so as to form a complete record of the heroic deeds of the sons ot North Carolina upon the battle fields of the Confederacy; and especially do asK. ail who can write to iurmsh me de tails of every battle in which they partici pated, and the part borne by their imme diate commands. The time may not have come to. write this poriion of North Carolina's History ; but it has come to collect material and ar range it for the use of the future historian. The living actors will soon pass away, and much valuable imformation, unlessgather ed now, will be lost forever. Hence, after waiting for several years for someone more compeint to undertake ; the task, I have determined to devoie the remaining years of my life to this labor iof love. I yield to none in love lor my native state, or in admiration for the gallant men who have shed imperishable glory upon her. I prefer to give these accounts nrst in news paper form, in order that omissions and er rors, ll any occur, may oe polnteaout, aucl corrected before the work shall pass into the more enduring form, which it will as sume should it prove what I desire to make it. a valuable acquisition to the war record of the South. several of the prominent actors in the war hwve already promised their co-opera- lion ana the vaiuaDie aid ot their pens to lessen my labors and to make the work complete, and I hope to enlist an army of valuable co-laborers in the good cause as readily as did North Carolina enlist her sons to fight the battlesof the "Lost Cause." General orhct is from other States who commanded North Carolina troops, are re- spectiuny asKea to give nue an the lufor mation in their possession, relative to the conduct ana Dtaring oi tuase troops. in endeavoring to ao justice to the sol diers of my native State, I certainly shall most careiuily abstain Irom doin injustice to those Irom any otner. My brethren ol the press will confer a la vor by giving the whole, or such part of this prospectus as they may deem proper. one or more insertions, calling attention thereto.

Sir Stafford Northcote admitted tliat during the negotiation of the treaty he had not minutety examined the conse quences for British subjects of fixing the end of tbe war at Lee's surrender.
