Sacred Days. Monday, the 21st inst., was the Hebrew Day of Atonement " and was generally ob--trved in this city by our Jewish fellow-citizens, who closed their plait's of business and refrained from eating or drinking until the close of the day. The IXUh and 27th inst. will be celebrated as the "Feast of the Tabernacle," commemorative of the gathering in of the crops. This feast lasts eight days, during which the Synagogues are decorated and other appropriate rites strictly ob Mrvtl. Although there is no regu lar place of worship for this class of ur citizens in Raleigh, yet wesup-p-H' the occasion will in some man ner be noticed. Huown's Museum.

From the Indications that dally come under our observa- tion, the coming Fair will far sur pass anything of the kind we have ever nad in isortn Carolina. Kn- tries are being made much earlier than heretofore, and even were the application books now closed, we would have an exhibition in every way creditable to the State. It is but Justice to assert that much of the prospective success of the ap proaching exposition is due to the indefatigable exertions of Mr. R. T. Fulghum, Secretary of the Society, and the assistants under his charere. We notice that these gentlemen are leaving nothing undone calculated to render the occasion in every re spect what it should be. One of the features is a novel one of late years. The occasion is to le enlivened with several companies of military, and premiums are to be awarded to tne best drilled. With irood weather and cheap rates of fare, we ought, and doubtless will, have such an assemblage as was never before wit nessed in Raleigh. Important to Guardians and Orphans.

Deputy Marshal, killed a man by the name of Andrew Woody, on Spring Creek, Madison county. The circumstan ces as we learn them are about as follows : The Deputy Marshal had a Ca Dias. issued from the United States District Court, for Woody, fo Nations of the Internal Re for vio- i venue laws. Rice went to Woody's house and was told that he (Woody) was not at home. On leaving the house he saw Woody and some other person running across a hill close by. Rice spoke to Mr. Meadows to hold his horse and he would attempt to make the arrest. After Woody found out that the Deputy Marshal had seen him he stopped and re- ma.-iH trV fhnf. ho wnniri not be arrested.

Asheville Bioneer. On Saturday night last, about 8 o'clock, Mr. John Gillespie, whose home was in Chunn'sCove. two and half miles beyond Beau Catcher mountain, was shot while standing in the back door of his house, and expired in a few seconds. A negro, who lives upon the premises, had been to the house to give Mr. Gil lespie his mail, and was on his way to his cabin, which is about fifty yards in the rear of the farm house, when the fatal shot was fired. Mr. Q. halloed to him that he was shot, and raled and fell, one ball and two slues having penetrated his body. The assassin was well acquainted with the premises, and had evident ly lain in wait for his victim. He selected a place in the garden, about fifteen yards from the house, where he was partly screened from obser- vation at nightfall by a little Wil- low in the yard. Early Sunday morning Dr. Hilliard, Coroner, re paired to the spot, summoned a I jury of inquest, and made an ex amination, or tne body, un tne testimony elicited during the inves tigation, Wra. Hall, son-in-law of Mrs. Gillespie's, and Franklin Searcy, her nephew, were arrested, brought to town, and imprisoned. Subsequently Searcy was released, as circumstances plainly indicate that he is not the guilty party, though he slept in the same bed with Hall, the supposed assassin, the same night. Gillespie was about 4G years of age, and though comparatively a stranger in this section, had earned for himself an excellent reputation fornoneaty, industry ana irugamy. About twelve months ago he mar ried the widow of William Riley Searcy, and it was at her home that he met his death. a m - a. Hall came here from Haywood county, we are informed, and mar ried the only daughter of Mrs. Searcy but a short time previous to the marriage of his father-in-law. We are in possession of other facts in connection with the ho rri- ble affair, which we forbear to pub- lish in advance of the trial of the accused. Asheville Pioneer.

Washington, D. C.Sept. 18, 1874. Gen. W. H. Emory. New Orleans. Louisiana : I am directed by the President to say that your acts to this date, so far as.they Jiave been reported and re ceived here officially, are approved, except so far as they name Col. Brooke to command the city of New Orleans. It would have been better to have named him as commander of the United States forces now in that city. The State government existing at the time of the begin ning of the present insurrectory movement must be recognized as the lawful State government until some other government can be le gally supplied.

If the surrender is not nuietlv snr is not quietly submitted to it must be enforced at all hazards. This being an insurrection against the State government of Louisiana, to aid in the suppression of which the united atates government nas Deen called upon in the forms required by the Constitution and laws of Con gress thereunder, it is not the prov ince of the United States authorities to make terms with the parties en gaged in such insurrection. Signed, E. D. TOWNSEND, Adjutant General. At six o'clock, p. m., on the 17th inst., in accordance with previous arrangements, Gen. J. R. Brooke, accompanied by Lieutenants Wal lace and Roe, went to the Executive office at the St. Louis Hotel, New Orleans, where they were formally put in possession of the State build ings within the limits of the city, by Governor McEnery. Upon sur rendering Gov. McEnery read the following address : General Brooke: As lawful and Acting Governor of this State, I surrender to you. as representative of the government of the United States, the Capitol and the remainder of the property in this city belonging to the State. This surrender is in response to a formal demand of Gen. Emory for such surrender or to accept as an alternative the levying of war upon our government by the military forces of the United States under his command. I have alrendy said to General Emory that we have neither power nor inclination to re sist the government of the United States. .. Sir, I transfer to you tho guar dianship of the rights and liberties of the people of the State, and I trust and believe that you will give protection to all classes' of our citi zens. Ruled and ruined by a cor rupt usurpation, presided over by Mr. Kellogg, our people could bear the wrongs, insults and tyranny of that usurpation no longer, and they rose in tneir might and swept it from existence and installed in au thority the rightful government, of which I am its head. Ail lovers of liberty throughout the Union must admit the patriotism that aroused our people to act as one man and throw off the yoke of this odious usurpation. I know, as soldiers, you nave but to cbey the orders of the government of the United States, but I feel that you will tem per your military control of affairs with moderation, and in all things exhibit that integrity of purpose characteristic of officers of the ar my.

Whereas, Prudence and ecnomy, as also a due regard for the interest of the creditors of the city and the protection of its future credit, urgently demand that the amount of the funded and pre sent unfunded or scrip debt, should be accurately ascertained, and some plan devised for the ultimate payment ot the same : And whereas. It is the desire and in tention of the Board, by a rigid system of economy, to reduce expeuses to the smallest practicable amount, consonant with a sate and laithxui administration of the city government, and to apply every cent not necessary to defray those expenses in payment oi the in debtedness of the city ; and so far as in the power of the Board, it is their in tention to restrict the issue of scrip to the smallest amount, and to discontinue the same as soon as possible so as to protect from loss the honest employees of the city.
