Saved! Saved! There i a world of joy shut up in that lit tle word, saved! How many a dawn of rich and golden beauty for the soul has it ushered in, after gloomy night of deferred hope and word to hear a sweeter word towpeak. So full of happy music when tho lips utter it so full of happier meaning when the heart feels it. The voice never brcnthe's it, but the face becomes radiant with joy, and the eye sparkles with delight Every chord of the heart vibrates with inexpressible pleasure, as iU music falls upon the car long waiting in anxious exportation. It has a history of its own, written in the minch'd experience of sorrow and joy of many a soul. Few there are who have not ut ten-d it in more or less of fullness of its meaning; few through whose soul it has not sent a thrill of delight, filling it too full for utterance. Sound it out in the stillness of night, and some aching heart will take it up, and send it joyfully back again through the gloom and darkness. Whisper it ever so softly, and there will be some soul that can not contain itself for very joy. It is the av enue through which the soul breathes out its overflowing gratitude. Its whole cxpres sion is that of thankfulness. Saved! and from what? Ah! from a life of intemperance, of misery, of crime, of deg radation, of shame, of infamy, and from death If you have known, kind reader, what it is to have had the dear object of your heart's best affections, snatched from any of these calami ties, you have found no word that could so fitly express the outgushing thakfulncss of your heart, as that little word, Saved. Otr Universitv. We are sorry to lear n that our University is about to loose one if not two or more of her Professors. A short time ago the Rev. Mr. Shipp, a most excel lent and learned gentleman, resigned the Professorship of History, to accept the Pres idency of a Literary Institution in South Carolina. And now we have to announce the resignation of the Rev. Dr. Wheat who nas for several years so very ably filled the chair of Professor of Logic and Rhetoric. He has accepted a call to the Rectorship of the Episcopal Church in Little Kock, Arkan sas. The University is in danger of losing an other of its Professors. The Rev. Charles Phillips, who has been connected with the University for upwards of twenty years, has been invited to a Professorship in the Union Theological Seminary in Virginia, by the unanimous vote of the electors. We have not learned whether he will accept We hope not Atlantic and N. C. Road. At the annu al meeting of the stockholders of this Road, held in Newbern last week, the following gen tlemen were elected Directors on the part of the stockholders: John C. Washington, of Lenoir; J. D. Whitford, of Craven: F. P. Latham, of Craven : and George Green, of Craven. The Directors on the part of the State for the ensuing year are as follows : L. C. Desmond, of Lenoir ; P. G. Evans, George S. Stevenson, Johnson II. Bryan, of Craven : II. F. Bond, Council V ooten, of Lenoir: U R. Thomas, of Carteret; andE. A. Thompson, of Wayne. " A number of ballottings for President have taken place, but no election has been made. The contest was between Mr. Whitford, the former President, and Mr. Thompson, of Wayne. At an adjourned meeting over to Thursday, thereafter, J. D. Whitford was re-elocted President. POSTSCRIPT. Later. The Hungarian has arrived with four days later news. The report of the last great battle is confirmed. It took place June 24th, at Salferino. Napoleon's dispatches say the French took 30 cannons and 7,000 prisoners. The French loss is put down at twelve thousand, and it is said 35,000 Austrians were placed hors du combat . Private telegrams represent the French ar my as being terribly cut to pieces, so much so as to render it unable to resume the offen sive. The Petersburg paper's announce the death of Hon. W. O. Goode, representa tive elect of that Congressional district. He died a't his residence in Mecklenburg county, of consumption, on Sunday morning the 3rd inst. Profitable Fruit Crop. The fruit crop in California this year, according to the San Francisco Herald, will amount to between six and seven millions of dollars. Coldstukam Division, Wauuenton. At a regular meeting of Coldstream Division, No. 30, Sons of Temperance, held on Tuesday, the 2Mth of June, an election of officers was held when the following were elected: W. P., J. H. Solomon; W. A., C. II. Vaughan; A. 11. S., A. II. Pitcher; ; F. S., T. Reynolds; C, 0. Woodson: 1. S D. Fleming; Chap- It :s., L II. Kelir ; T., H. E. Cook, sen. T. J. Cook ; A. C, J no. I). Thome ;. S., It lain, Kev. in. I lodges. This Division, which has only been in op eration a short time, has already upwards of eighty members, and is increasing almost ev cry week. A. It PITCH EH, A. R. S. For the Spirit of the Age. Hookerton Division, S. of T. No. 73. Mu. Editor: This Division has been long toiling aga'nst tho battled host of Bacchus. It has stood firm, unchancing anil persevering, amid tho bitter shouts and boasts of tho drunken rebels, whose countenances are now colored with the tints of destruction. This Division now stands as a shining light to the people ; and there are many who were once sinking into poverty's dark and gloomy vale of sorrow, but have now signed the pledge of safety, and their homes aro made happy their families are now living in comfort their children are blessed and rejoicing at tho smiles of a father's love and tho kindness of a mother's affections. Wo can, with pleas ure, say we arc gaining strength and our cause is becoming more interesting and beau tiful. Wo had a celebration on the 18th ult, that 8ii passed in beauty and excellence any I have ever witnessed. In the morning at 9 o'clock, the Division met, there was quite a largo number in attendance, and among them were many beautiful young ladies, whose smiles and charming looks contributed much to our glorious meeting; and wc had the great pleasure of receiving into our circle eleven new members, seven of whom were ladies. May their good influence spread over tho whole community, and every soul be made to rise from their destructive course and follow the banner of Temperance. After the business of the day was transact ed, wc marched double-file, ladies in front to the Female Academy, where we listened to a most eloquent and interesting speech from Ilev. Joel W. Tucker, who, I think, did much good for the Division and long may tho ideas shown forth in his address be re tained in tho memory of all who heard them, His speech presented the ruinous course of the drunkard, and the bad influence of the moderate drinker while on the other hand, he spoke in tho clorious defense of our Order and tho irreat intluenco of the mothers and daughter: of our country. After tho minds of the audience were al filled with eloquonco and poetical visions, and all seemed to reioice with a full "feast o reason and a flow of" soul." the crowd retired beneath the cooling shade of a beautiful crove. where a dinner of Barbecues was pre- nared for tho comnanv. The accd. the young, parents, children and all, made them gives busy for a time, satiating their appe tites, while tho gentle zephyrs of Summer seemed to whisper in their ears pleasure, comfort and hanniness lie within tho I em 1 1 nerance circle. We had x most clorious time, and al hearts seemed to be made triad and cheerful with the passing scenes of the day. And in conclusion, Mr. Editor, I think Hookerton Division to be one among the worthy ; its members are energetic, and determined to fight against the army of Alcohol, till suc cess crown their efforts. I hope you will hear from its again soon. B. F. S. Hookerton, N. C. Rencountre. A Correspondent of the Pe tersburg Express says a personal difficulty occurred at Colerain, N. C, on the 1st inst, between the Hon. II. M. Shaw, and C. G. Da venport, Editor of the Edenton (N. C.) Ex jjrexs. Mr. Davenport struck Dr. Shaw with a hickory stick several times, when the Dr. succeeded in wresting the stick out of the hands of Mr. D., and commenced striking him, whereupon Mr. I), drew a pistol and fired up on Shaw, the shot passing through his clothes, but fortunately did not take effect. The dif ficulty grew out of disparaging remarks made by Dr. Shaw relative to Mr. Davenport and his paper. A gentleman who resides in Richmond county N. C, informs me that a very foul murder was committed in that county a few days back. A man who was in a deranged state of mind, but perfectly inoffensive, as was thought, had been placed under the care of an old man by the.name of Smith, for pro tection. The old man Smith, a few days back, was found dead in his house, and the deranged man was found a short distance from the house, hanging by his neck dead. The impression is, that the unfortunate de ranged man killed his protector and then went out and hung himself. Wilmington Commerce. We learn from the Wilmington Herald, which gives a table of exports from that place, that for the year ending June 30, 59, there is an increased ex port of 2, COO bbls. turpentine over the same time last year, and that for the quarter be ginning January, 59, there was an increase of 5, GOO bbls. for the first six months of this year over that of the last In Rosin there is an increase in the hrst two quarters of this year over that off '58 of 100,000 bbls. Cotton has fallen of 2,000 bales compared to the same time last year. There has been considerable falling off in Lumber, Rice, Wheat and Flour. July Frost. t-A private letter says there was frost at Thomasville, N. C, on the mor l.ing of the 5th of July. Roanoke Circuit. Rev. D. R. Bruton has been appointed by the if.

DEED, In this City, on the 4th inst, Mrs. Jane S., the beloved consort of Samuel H. Young, Esq. To all who knew ber, panegyric is useless in speak ing of the excellencies of her character. She was a puretminded, devoted Christian devoting all her energies, and tbe employment of her means in the service of her Maker. She lived the life of the righteous, and her end was peace and joy in the Holy Ghost. Her numerous relatives a d frknds parted with her but for a brief period, knowing that itthsy were faithful, they would soon meet her in a blissful immortality ; for of her it could be truly said ".Blessed are the dead who die in the Lord." In this county, at the residence of Edward Chappell, Esq., on the 5th inst, Sarah Lizzie, in fant daughter of Dr. L. and Mrs. E. J. Chappell, of Einston, N. C, aged 9 months and 8 days.

While in Newbern, we visited some of the principal erocery and provision stores ol the town, among them those of Messrs. Fisher and Foard, and Messrs Oliver & Co., and by a comparison ot prices witn otner markets, we are inclined to tne opinion tnat our people can procure sugar, coffee, molasses, salt, rice, and various other articles of neces sity and luxury, on as good, if not better terms, in Newbern, than any other place: and nowhere else will be found more obliging, gentlemanly merchants. Dr. oard, of the hrm of isher & Foard, is from Rowan, and is well known through that and the adjoining Counties, as an intellL gent gentleman. We take the liberty of say ing that any produce from the West consign ed to cither Fisher & Foard, Wm. II. Oliver & Co., or V . C. Whitford, or any order sent to them will receive prompt attention.

On Friday last, Profs. Wise, Lamontain and Gager, started in the mam moth balloon "Atlantic," from St Louis, with the intention of landing somewhere on the Seaboard. Thev were accompanied by a re porter for the St. Louis Republican, who was to be landed somewhere on tne route a nis weight should prove an obstacle to the suc cess of the experiment. The balloon was seen on Saturday morning at oclock, at Fairport, Ohio, about 30 miles from Sandus ky, going in a northeasterly direction. Hudson, Summit Co., Ohio. ) June 24, 1859. f What hope the frost left the farmer has just been destroyed by the worst hail storm I have ever witnessed. As I write the ground is covered with stones of the size of robins' eggs and larger. It has stripped the trees almost bare, and probably left nothing; in the form of wheat and rye. Almost all the win dows which are not covered with shutters are broken, and the College looks like a per fect ruin. It would seem as if it were impos sible to add any thing to the disaster, unless it be to burn the houses. p. S. The hail storm is about a mile in width, and has broken at least 13,000 panes of glass in Hudson. Destruction of all crops and fruit complete. Found Dead. Alex. Dallw, an aged man who lived in Ilobeson County near Antioch Church, about 24 miles from Fayetteville, was found some distance from that place dead in his cart on Sabbath last. He had been addicted to intemperance. He was returning home from town, and was found in the road, his horse standing still. A Coroner's Jury , was summoned and a verdict of death from inU'tiporance and exposure was rendered. RICHMOND MARKET. Corrected by D. T. WILLIAMS & HICKS. PRODUCE COMMISSION MERCHANTS, RICHMOND, VA. Remark. All Tobacco coming by tho way of Petersburg marked to us, will be promply forwar ded by our Agent at that place. xobacco. I he receipts nave taiien on very much but the breaks continue large.

Tobaccos of body and character sell well, but nondescript grades are little dull. A large quantity of the manufactur ing leaf from North Carolina this year seems to be deficient in body, caused we suppose, by the want of rain last year. Flour. Tbe transactions in this article are light, and we omit quotations. Whkat. The market not yet open, therefore omit quotations. July 9. NORFOLK MARKET. BY McPHEETERS & GHISLELIN, Wholesale Grocers k Commission Merchants WILLS' WHARF, NORFOLK, VA. Flour. We still have to report a very dull market, and quotations are almost nominal.

PETERSBURG MARKET. FROM BROWNLEY, GREEN & CO., Grocers and Commission Merchants, PETERSBURG, VA. Cottoh. The favorable advices received from Europe this morning have not yet hadsany marked effect on the market here, there being little or no demand. Holders are firm and we still continue to quote prime grades at 12c; inferior grades are very dull and nominal. Receipts amount now to nothing, and the stock in hands of sellers is being gradually reduced. Tobacco. At the date of our last weekly re port, we left the market dull and depressed. Since then there has been more animation in the market and prices are better for all grades. The offerings at the warehouses have not been large a&d the re ceipts begin to fall off quite largely. The demand for lugs is active and prices are better. The in spections to the 1st July, compared with 1858, are as follows : 1858. 1859. Westhill, 2,788 3,427. Moore's, 2,580. 2,901.

HAVING engaged in other business that re quires my personal attention. I will les on very favorable terms, my Store House at Carv. o miiea wesi 01 naieign, on tne JN . U. Kail Road. This situation possesses every advantage for con ducting a large barter trade, it being the point where a large portion of the Flour and other nro- uuuo ui uane ana i;nar,hn.m rnnohoa tho u;i Road. The ffouse is 21 bv 44 feet, with 3 Ann. veniently arranged rooms below and a Masonic Hall above. There is also a good turnout and warehouse at the Rail 2oad, a daily mail, all to gether affording eery facility for a large business. Or if desired by the right kind of a man, one who would make a good neighbor and not sell whiskey, I would sell 150 acres of land with the Store House, on which is two or three beautiful building sites near the Rail Road. I would also sell on terms that would e able an enterprising man to make 50 per cent on his pur chase, my new Saw and Grist Mills, situated 24 miles from the Rail Road and 8 from Raleigh. They are new, having been buiit within the last 12 months. Timber in abundance near by. The Saw will easily cut 5000 feet per day, and never stops for an overabundance nor for want of water; in other words it never dries, nor drowns. Call on me at Cary soon, or lose a bargain- A. P.

WILSON, n. c Extract of a letter, dated Sas Marcos, Texas, June 24th, 1859. Western Texas is suffering very much at this time on account of a drouth. Many farmers will not make enough corn for bread others will not make a grain. On the Ci bolo some of the planters have turned the stock into their fields; but even now, should we have plenty of rain, the farmers will make more cotton than they can gather. J. Or. D.
