He has prom ised to visit our beautiful country next Summer, and we are confident that an acquaintance with our people will only enhance his kind interest in our wel fare. A sheville Pioneer. We copy the above extract as a com pliment to our present Executive, with out, of course, endorsing the criticism on the late Governor Caldwell. Elected. Major John C. Winder was chosen on Friday night, the 6th Inst, as Superintendent of the State Fair. He had been previously elected Recording Secretary. Captain R. T. Fulghuinthe former Secretary and Su perintendent, declined a re-election. Target Practice. On Friday af ternoon, 6th Inst, the Raleigh Light In fantry, under command of Capt. B. C. Manly, had a parade and target practice. The silver cap for the best shot was awarded to Private Chas. Lumsden. The tin cap for the worst shot was not awarded, as it was impossible to find out who missed the mark most successfully. I ' Complimentary. We copy the fol lowing notice of one of our colored fel low-citizens from the Gardner (Mass.) Kews : O. Hunter. Jr.. from Shaw University-. Raleigh, N. C, addressed a goodly num ber of our citizens at the vestrv of the Congregational Church on Tuesday eve ning, on the present aspect of the col ored race in the South. We hear very much here at the North of the general turmoil and confusion so prevalent among both whites and blacks In the ex treme South, but wo do not often have the pleasure of listening to so fair and Impartial a presentation of facts as was given by this young man. He was born a slave and brought up in ignorance until the age of nineteen, when he nrst essayed to learn his letters, and in these months of study, interrupted by months Of manual labor, he has proved that a man, even a black man, can make some thing of himself if he is in earnest about it and improves the advantages that are so free and common in these days of cheap books and papers. The audience was attentive and the wish must often have come up that the youth, and es pecially the boys, might take fresh courage and impluso to improve the ad vantages so abundant on every hand for their elevation and education. Off the Track. On Tuesday mor ning, the 10th inst, the Western bound freight train ran off the track a short distance east of the city in the cut in Bledsoe's plantation, causing a consid erable smash up in box cars containing freight. Fortunately no one was hurt. An express train was sent down from the Shops to take charge of passengers and mails of the upward mail train in the evening, and convey them around the wreck. Horrible Affair. Nathan Mor gan, a colored lad about seventeen years of age, has been lodged in jail in this city for the murder of his cousin, Jo- sephus Morgan, aged ten years. It seems that Nathan enticed his victim to the woods, where he mashed in his skull , with a rock, after which he mutilated his person in a shocking manner. The murder was committed on the plantation of M. C. Hodge, Esq., on Neuse river, about seven or eight miles from town. New Schedule. We hear that a change of schedule is contemplated on the N. C. Railroad by which the mail trains going East and West will reach this city at midnight. We trust that this will not be the case, as it will cause great inconvenience to travellers during tho winter months. We think the present arrangement an admirable one and fin as great favor with the travelling community. The proposed change will have the effect of causing passengers bound north a con siderable delay, whereas at present they are detained only ar hour or so. Besides this, it will cause many persons to take the Wilmington road from Wel don, and to this extent damage our great central line. As the trains now run, persons living thirty or forty miles west of Raleigh can visit tho capital, transact business and return home the same day. We hope it will so continue. Oscar Eastmond, a billiard saloon keeper of Asheville, was shot with a pistol in the hands of a Government de tective on aunday, 1st inst. ' Eaughlin Bethnne, of Cumberland county, died on the 10th ult. He was 90 years of age and had served several years in the General Assembly. The colored people of Wilmington, says the Journal of Commerce, demand the following rates of compensation: Common laborers, day work, 15 cents per hour ; stevedores 20 cents; and for night work 20 cents per hour for com mon laborers, and 25 cents per hoar for stevedores. All work done after 6 o' clock, P. M.f will be considered as night work and to be paid for as such. We are informed that .the Northern Company who own the Ore Knob Cop per Mines, is making a fortune. Two and a half tons of pure copper is melted daily, yielding the company one thou sand dollars per day, clear of all ex penses. The town that has sprung up at those mines is said to be already larger than Jefferson, the county seat of Ashe. Piedmont Press. Railroad Meeting ix Ruther ford. A meeting was held in Ruther ford county recently. Dr. L. A. Mills in the chair, to appoint a committee to con fer with the Directors of the C. C. R. R. with a view to the extension of the road to Rutherfordton. The committee em braced members of both political par ties, and was empowered, by authority of the County Commissioners to treat for the county as might seem proper. It was agreed that Rutherford county will issue the thirty thousand dollars of her railroad stock, yet held of the origi nal sixty thousand dollars subscribed, and will make further subscriptions. Or the county will grade tho track from Shelby to Rutherfordton, 20 miles, if the railroad company will lay the iron and run the road. In Charlotte, last week, Col. Frank Coxe, Dr. J. A. Hague, L. A. Mills, Jr., E. J. Bryan, Esq., Dr. A. H. Nabors, and perhaps others representing the committee, had an interview with Col. S. L. Fremont, to submit the Ruther ford proposals ; and it is understood they will bo considered by the Directors at an early meeting. We truly hope our Rutherford friends may succeed in getting the road which they are entitled to of right, having expended large sums therefor. Southern Home. COMMERCIAL REPORT.

Surry Visitor. Bkiiixd. Only three sheriffs have thus far settled with the Public Treas urer, which is under the usual number at this time of the year. We learn that tho low price of cotton and the general scarcity of currency is operating to the serious detriment of our farmers. As long as cotton remains at thirteen cents and bacon twenty cents a pound we may look for stagnant times. We want the Democratic Legislature to look into this matter. They promised the people all kinds of relief, and they should be held to their words. STATE. Oxford Orphan Astlum. The con tributions to this charity, In October, amounted to $917.41, cash.

Mr. Mills is doing his whole duty, while Mrs. Elliott tires not in her irresistible appeals.

Wadesboro Herald : One of the most mysterious and unaccountable cases of poisoning on record occurred in our town last week. On Wednesday even ing Mr. Jas. Plunkett, whose marriage took place at the M. E. Church the eve ning previous, gave a supper at his res idence, at which the immediate family connections of the bride and groom and a few friends were present. Thursday morning several of those who had par taken of the supper were taken violent ly ill. Dr. C. B. Copped ge was imme diately sent for, who at first treated them as cases of cholera morbus. In the evening he called in Dr. E. F. Ashe, and the two physicians held a consulta tion. After a more minute investigation they ascertained the fact that the pa tients had been poisoned, the symptoms indicating tho presence of either arsenic or corosive sublimate. They were un able to decide between these two pois ons from the fact that the ejected con tents of the stomachs had all been re moved and could not be obtained for analysis. Tho attending physicians now entertain no doubt but that the poison was contained in the coffee used at the supper, but they were unable to obtain any of that article for analysis. Among those most seriously affected are Rev. O. J. Brent, whose condition up to Sat urday was very critical, Mr. James Plunkett and wife, H. A. Crawford, jsq., jurs. Susan j. McCormic. A. A. Kendall and others, making in all ten persons. Several others, including some of the servants, were more or less af fected. We are glad to be able to state, however, that through the promptness, the skillful treatment and close atten tion of Drs. Ashe and Coppedgo tho pa tients are now all convalescent. The affair has created considerable excite ment, and strong efforts are being made to ferret out the mystery. in bankruptcy.

Although these gentlemen work from early morn until frequently a late hour at night, they are barely able to pro perly attend to tho numerous calls made upon them. Mr. O. T.

While our entire business community are fully satisfied with his efforts, yet it is hoped that the efficient Superintendent, Capt. Green, will put on an extra clerk at least during the busy season. It would be of great ser vice to the merchants of Raleigh and also to the company. Governor Brogdex. During our recent visit to Raleigh, it afforded us ?reat pleasure to call upon our bache or" Governor and enjoy his society. The mantle has fallen noon worth v shoulders. As the great head or the party, the Governor has obtained and is enjoying in an unusual degree the con fidence, esteem, and respect of his party friends ; indeed, so decorous is his be- navior and so earnest his desire to exe cute aright the dudes of his high posi tion, that his political enemies are con strained to do him justice and say things complimentary of him. We are glad of this. The late chief Executive was not popular with any party. lie had peculiar ways, which unfitted him for a party leader. Perhaps the late de feat of the party In the State is as much due to his blunders as to any other canse ; but we are no disposed to dis cuss these matters now. Gov. Brozden is patient, trustful of his friends, reliant on their advice, does not believe he owns and controls the nartv nri body in the State ; does not Hy off at a tangent about trivial and unimportant matters, and make himself a ridiculous spectacle, mortifying to his friends and leered at by his enemies. We honestly believe that the next two years of his administration will do more for the uni fication of his party and the general welfare of the State than any that has wvurxvu Macs me war ; and we proph esy he will go out of office with the con fidence and esteem of the entire people.
