The plantation id very valuable one and has all the conveniences neces sary for the successful working of the land.' The land itself is of ex cellent quality.

Ben nett, Jr., is the contemplated intro duction of Xorthern servants to this city and vicinity. Many residents in this part of the State are anxious to secure iwhite servants and have induced Mr. Bennett to send lo Xew York and other of the large Xorthern cities for such help as m a wa m mey neeu. ine new ieature is a good one and will meet with much commendation from many of our Ieople. Parties who desire to avail themselves of the new servants, some of whom will soon Ik on their way hither, by applying to Mr. Bennett'' office, corner of Davie and Blount street's and registering their names will le enabled to fill sHcdiIy such vacancies as exist in their domestic dejuirttnenLs. Deserving of Commendation. Officer Robert Crosson deserves praise for his courage and energy in dealing with the crowds of young roughs, who infest portions of the city. In the miniature mob of Sunday last, elsewhere alluded to, the officer named conducted himself with pluck and discretion. The lawlessness of the young men who lounge about on Sunday's in a state of semi-inebriation, can onlv be checked by a discreet and courage ous bearing on the part of the offi cers of the law, and the officers who are energetic enough to do their duty should and will receive the support of good citizens. It. F. Jones & Co. Attention is called to the advertisement of It. F. Jones Co., Commission Mer chants, Cotton Factors, and Whole sale Grocers, of this city. The mem bers of this firm are enterprising business men and give satisfaction in their dealings. They are building up a business, which being con ducted as it has commenced, cannot fail of attaining a magnitude which will do credit to the city. The pub lic are advised to patronize the firm being assured that they will be liberally and honorably dealt with. The store of R. F. Jones & Co., is on Wilmington street near Metropolitan Hall. Attempt to Mckdeu an Offi cer. At the depot on Sunday a number of colored men were drunk and disorderly and, a lady lj'ing sick in the vicinity, an officer was sent for to quell the disturbance. Robert Crosson visited the place und finding the men still turbulent ordered them to move away. In stead of obeying he was assailed with abusive epithets and an at tempt made to drive him off. He arrested: the most forward of the gang, Tom Foley, when the rest rushed on him and commenced a savage assault. Crosson defended himself bravely and in detail man aged to beat off the crowd and ar rested the defendants. Foley how ever drew a knife and stabbed Crosson twice; once in the back, the point of the knife turning on his shoulder-blade, and onceover the heart. Five of tho men were locked up and had a hearing on Monday morning. They were held to bail in $2U0 for Foley, and $130 -ach for. the others. Tho Raleigh Sentinel is now sup porting an independent candidate, ("independent" just to get radical votes for the legislature?) and he is j a clever young lawyer in Raleigh named Mr. G. Snow. The repub lican running against him is the most deserving young printer in Raleigh, named Gilbert. Gilbert has been used to standing with his lips closed at the case in a printing office, one third more brain in his head than the Honorable Messieurs So-fc-So (who sit around the table cackling with the editor) ever had and he does nothing but stick his tjpe, and at the end of the week give part of his wages to the poor wretches who havn't the money to buy a pone of bread. This is the man he is, as every printer who has ever worked with hirn will attest. We shall see which of these two men Providence will have the peo ple to favor with legislative hon ors. Milton Chronicle. The Champion Child. The taste of a majority of the sensation loving public undoubtedly runs to ward prodigies, and infant prodi gies particularly. The champion child of this city is at present in the Iossession of its father, Mr. John Godwin of Wilmington street. It is three years old, weighs 56 pounds and answers to the name of'Jim iaie," The feat performed by this child is novel, effective and start ling. In the highest degree, and in troduced on a Metropolitan stage would be seized upon as being more daring and dangerous, if not so graceful, as the shooting into the are of the intrepid Lulu, of world-wide gymnastic fame. Lulu is shot twenty-five feet up into air in a full glare of light ; the infant "Jimmie" drops downward thirty-one and a half feet into "Plutonian Shadows' six ieet six mcnes better, ana a dash into darkness that few athletes would attempt. The infant "Jim mie" stands on the edge of a well thirty-one-and a half feet deep from ground surface to water surface, and with six feet further to solid rock. The well is three feet in diameter, and to heighten the effect is lined with sharp cornered rocks. The child stands on the ground, and after a little infantile prattle, throws .its hat into the depth, in childish imitation of the pugilistic challenge, and then dives boldly down strik ing the water with the crown of Its head. It remains in the water from five to ten minutes, and is then drawn out by the nape of its neck, by the lightest gentleman in the vicinity who will trust himself in the water bucket. To preserve "the unities of the drama" Jimmie cries when rescued, and remains apparently unwell for an hour, but recovering is ready for a repetition of the feat within a day. The la test performance was given on Fri day at : 12, m., but the audience having gone home with a bucket of water the performer was reduced to an inconveniently close approach to strangulation, an unpleasant ter mination which the manager of the family promises shall not occur again. ; The Wynne-Lee-15 rown Con troversy Further Develop ments The Chairman of the Board of County Commission ers lias Another Say. To the Tax-Payers of Wake Counts-. Editors of fie News : It is with reluctance that I again ask a place in your columns for the purpose of noticing some things contained in the communication of Sheriff Lee, appearing in your pa per of 1st, and also to call the at tention of the people of the county to a few things of much importance, which Sheriff Lee did not mention, nor ever yet has mentioned or ex plained. This controversy, if controversy it is. Is not of my seeking, and though I acknowledge the right of the people to know all about the collection and disbursement of the taxes they pay, I should have said nothing at this time, had not the statement concerning county finan ces, furnished, I have every reason to believe, by Sheriff Lee himself, contained so many and grave er rors, calculated to deceive the peo ple, lhat statement appearea in the A5nc and Sentinel, and I am certainly under obligations to those papers for giving to the public the correction of the same. Sheriff Lee, on the 1st, pretends to controvert the statement made by myself, and in doing so allowed himself to fall into so many palpa ble errors, that his mis-statement of facts, so easily proved, looks very much that such was intentional on his part, and that it was his pur pose to mislead the people. The subject is one, to my mind, of suffi cient interest and importance to de mand in its discussion seriousuess at least instead of bluster, and truth instead of unsurp ported asser tions. As yet, I have not said any thing that I cannot prove by other evidence than by my own asser tions, nor shall 1 make any state ment that I cannot prove by other evidence than my own testimony. To enable the peopleto under stand the whole matter, the state ment made by the Board and pub lished in May last is all that is nec esssary. This statement is confess ed by the Sheriff to be in the. main cerrect. In that statement the Sheriff is charged as follows: (Mr. Xo well, his deputy, Jurnisnea most oi tne items.) To taxes on listed proper ty. 1S72, ?3,o72,54 " unlisted " " 1,393.60 " " 1871, 211.23 " under Schedule B, 1882, 1,770.21 but on account of the time of tho Sheriff having been extended, no settlement could be made. This amount of $38,018.02, does not in elude interest. I have before said that my counsel, who are. Judge Battle, R. II. Battle and Q. Bus- bee, Esqs., advised me that I had no right to remit the interest, and that he ought to pay interest. The fact of his using some $13,000 of county vouchers for his own pri vate purposes, and which, in his last card, ne forgets to mention much less explain, Is reason enough I should think. He no doubt made interest on the vouchers thus appro- Eriated to his own use, or it saved im the payment of interest to that amount, which is the same thing. Xor is the $915 which the Sheriff virtually acknowledged on the 10th of April last that he honestly owed, included in theamountof $38,018.02. He says in his card, that the Board of Commissioners have nothing to do with this. I am advised differ ently. As soon as he corrected the amount in the receipt exhibited by him, to enable him to get the tax lists, the amount thus corrected be-. came a charge against him. and he will have to settle it. Of this $38,01 8.02 he has paid $27, 494.12 in vouches, and presented a list of $116.3.") of insolvents, leaving $2,137.06, from which his commis sions are to be deducted. These figures differ from those in my first statement lor the simple reason, in that statement th interest was added. As to the capitation tax of 1871 : In his last statement he accuses me of falsehood, because I stated, that in January, 183, 1 knew he had not paid the capitation tax of 1871, and further says, that I " knew nothing of the alleged non-payment until Informed by the State Treasurer In June, 1873." Let us see who tells the truth. Sheriff Lee or myself. On the 10th December, 1872, 1 ad dressed a note to the Public Treas urer, and received the following reply: "Treasury Department, Slate of North Carolina, Raleigh, Dec. 10th, 1872. 12. II". Wynne, Chairman County Co mm issioners : Sir: In reply to your inquiry of this date, I state that the State capitation tax for Wake county, for the year 1871, was not paid into this office. Very Respectfully, D. A. Jenkins, Treasurer. Per D. W. Bain, Chief Clerk." This note from tho Treasurer was read before the Board, and was filed by Capt. White, the Clerk, among the papers of the Board, where it has been ever since, and where any ono who desires may examine it I am in my GOth year, and it is the hrst time 1 have ever had to vindi cate my character for truth. God grant that I may always be able to do so as successfully as I am able to do on this occasion. Again, Sheriff Lee says, that even if he owes the capitation tax of 1871, he has a list of insolvents to be de ducted from it for 1871. $810,69, and for 1S72, $iS3.Go. Sheriff Lee has been allowed insolvents for 1871, State and county, $1000, and if he has any more, behind, it is news to the Hoard. 1 or he returned a list of $1536.70 withdrawing the $4S3.6o, which he claims now as a set off to the taxes of 1871. After returning, and swearing to the list of insolvents he was allowed the other day, among whom were Wm. A. Smith & Co., for $100.32 and many others heretofore thought to be solvent, it is impossible to say, what limit there may be to his in solvent list. He was allowed $1,000 in each of the years 1870 and 1871, for insolvents, and in his list for ' State Xews. Stokes.

Smith & Cp (our Congressman) for tax on real estate in 1870 $100.32, and he swears this list is correct, and the board allowed it. I voted against allowing any such list, and for so doing the Sheriff is pleased to insinuate I am acting dishonestly towards himself. He will find it much easier to lose his temper and make insinuation than to justify or prove the correctness of his insolvent list for 1S72. The poll tax of 1872 has been set tled as I stated in my first commu nication, and the Sheriff was allow ed in the settlement of that tax an insolvent Jist of $819.75. This poll tax is also to be deducted from the foregoing amount of $38,018.02. Unfortunately for Sheriff Lee, he has never settled the taxes since he was Shenn a3 required and wnen required by law. If he had done so the county would have been out of debt, and its credit above reproach. The Sheriff has obtained the tax lists through the liberality of the County Treasurer, who lor that purjose has furnished him with receipts where no vouchers were handed over, he becoming individu ally responsible thqrefor. And now when the default of the Sheriff is in the mouth of every one, a true state of the oounty finances cannot be made without he thinks and says it is done to injure him. He is mis taken.

General Gideon J. Pillow has written a letter correcting some published statements concerning his surrender to the Union forces in Montgomery, Alabama, in 18C5, and closes it as follows : Though I was without money, and my gray Confederate uniform was worn and covered with dust, and dingy from its age and the ser vice it m had seen, when I reached Montgomery, where I was thrown amid large numbers of federal offi cers with brilliant uniforms, yet I was uniformly and always recogni zed with a respectful military sa lute by officers and privates of the federal army, and was pressed with offers of money and everything else I needed by the distinguished officers above named, who had ser ved with me in the Mexican war ; yet I accepted no money not one dollar from any of them. But it is due to them to say them that I could not have been treated with greater courtesy and kindness, if I had been an officer of rank in the federal army than I was. As the last surviving general officer of the regular army who served in the Mexican war. I take pleasure in saying that the bitterness engender ed by the late civil war was not suf ficient to erase the respect and friendship formed by the officers who fought in that war, And that though 1 committed what the fede ral soldiers and northern people consider a great error and grave crime by my services in the late war, yet 1 nave never met a federal officer, during or since the late civ il war, who has failed to treat me with courtesy and respect, and du ly to appreciate my services to the government in the Mexican war. Among these, I am happy to men tion ine marKea respeet and kind ness I have received from the great soldier, the present distinguished President of the nation, since he has been in his present exalted po sition, for whom it was my pleasure to give my humble vote against his competitor for the position he now occupies."

She iz ov the maskuline, feminine and nuter gender. Men worship her in her maskuline form wimmin in her feminine form, and the excentricks in her nuter gender. She rules the world with a straw, and makes all her suppliants. She enslaves the poor az well az the ritch, she kneels in sanktuarys, romps in cabins, and leers at the street korners. She fits man's foot with a pimdi ing boot, throttles him with a stub born collar, and dies his mustash with darkness. She trails the ritch silks ov wim min along the filthy sidewalks, leads sore-eyed lap-dogs with a. string, and banishes hepless chil dren to murky nurserys, in the kare ove faithless hirelings. She cheats the excentric with the-clap-trap of freedom, and makes him serve her in the habiliments ov the harlequin. Yea, verily. Josh Billings.
