The sensation if the late re- -r ted iilnliKtion affair brings to mind it 'case wherein a U-autiful uhitegirl with auburn hair and blue eyes, was Mild into slavery in this city in lsf.

A Fizzi.k. The County Cominis- j .ionrs have passed a resolution re- j pudiatiiig the county stTip, and re fusing to take the same for taxi-s. As well; might they order the Sher iff not to take a leg-.il tender green back. I Their action in this 1 is a ti.r.le, ami their efforts to do a Miiart tiling futile. 'JY-dJ i-oncelvetl this Conditioner brilliant idea f of county repudiation.

Deputy V. S. Mar shal Inn ver writes that himself and party of soldiers and govern ment tofHcers. were fired upon on Katurd-ry evening from a mountain nide in' Burke county. Some twen- ty shtts were tired, but none of them took effect. He was informed ! that forty armed men were laying , for him in Black Mountain. The statement of Deputy Mar shal Denver is coroborated by let ters from other reliable ami res-Hin-sible iirties in that section. Mr.; Supervi-or Perry was cor rect in siiyingthat the Conservative press encourages this lawless resis- tance'to the officers of the Revenue j Department, and persons charged with ihe duty of making and exe cuting the laws, if they do not ad- j I ! j vise it, by their conduct they en courage the more ignorant and vi cious to violate law by their resis tance to the laws of the land. Such a state of things is to be -VM. mA -.- wkola Ieople cannot be too quickly nor too deeply inspired with reerence for the law, and taught to cease the irregular opjosition to regularly const it u teu authority. Two Noble Women. Miss Car rie Jenkins, a native of Granville, and Miss Minnie Eddins, of Cleave Iandicounty, both lately of the lialeigh Female SeirKqarj are aiming the noblest of their sex, and deserve more than a passing notice. Discarding the mock modesty that has always made too many of our Southern women mere fashion dolls, and with more of the timid prudery unbecoming a tconmn but which many of the sex affect, they organized a series of concerts in aid of the Oxford Orphan Asylum and have given a great many excellent and renumerative musical enter tainments in the Western part of the State. Tlie people have received them as they should, and for about the first tiiml our people have found out that the-i are not entirely dependent for am Jsemenls on vulgar, big-limbed, bare-legged females In tights, from the North, and Europe. The Era is glad that Misses Jen kins and Eddins have thus struck out. They show that they are ladies, than capable of something higher dawdling over the last novel, and abstractedly twanging the Piano to while away the hours of listless ennui. They with, Miss Alexander of Lincoln, and Miss Patterson of Georgia; demonstrate tliai a South ern lady may go on the stage with out losing aught of maidmly mod esty or womanly character; and above all thy teach that a Southern woman can turn her talents to feed ing the hungry, and educating and clothing the oor orphan. Attkmptkd Abduction' of a Youxo (J 1 hi- On Wednesday last, 3d inst., a colored woman calling herself Uetsy Powell, and hailing from .St lma, Johnston county, came into the Mayor's office in this city and asked for Mayor Whitaker, stating that she wanted a warrant of arrest for her daughter who was I then In the employ of Mr. J. P. Adams, of this city. The Mayor nformed her that it was not In his province to help her, as jurisdiction in matters of that kind did not re side with himself; but to her earn est apjttrals for some gentleman to go for her to the house of Mr. Adams, the Mayor told Policeman Lane that he could go as an in dividual, not as an officer. To the house of Mr. Adams, Lane went,trtfiot the coman who went on to the house of one Jennie Da vis, where after a short time Lane arrived with the girl in company with her employer, Mr. Adams. Arriving at the house, tho girl exhibited reluctance to going in, but after considerable Ulscu wrtm-tin m mnO tlm nu man, claiming, to be her mother, she finally entered the house, after which she was not allowed to go out. In the afternoon of the same day, Wednesday, Mr. J. P. Adams called at the Mayor's offico for the purpose of enquiring into the mat ter, and the Mayor not being in. Mr. Sorrel!, the city tax collector, addressed him a note, stating the circumstances as they had come to his knowledge. Mayor Whi'uker at once sent a verbal mes-sattj to ry have the girl sent back to Mr. Adam's. And receiving the May or's message, Mr. Sorrell, aceom Innied by the Chief of Police, Mr. King, and officer Durham, pro ceeded to the house of Jennie Davis, where they found the girl crying and apparently in great distress. They asked her If tbe woman Betsy Powell was her mother, she replied she was not, that she had no recol- J lection of ever having seen her. I They then asked her if she desired j to return to the house of Mr. I Adams, she replied that she did. Mie was then conveyed by the offi cers named to Mr. Adam's house where she now is. As far as we can learn the partic ulars of this young girl life they are as follows: About the year lfil, when only Ave years of age, she was brought to this city by a woman calling herself Lucy lirock wi II, and hailing from the State of Ohio. .She stated that the irirl was r o of white parentage and bom in that j State, and that she desired to pro j cure lor her some good home in a ; reiectable family. She wasllrst hired I by a Mrs. Simpson, then by a J Mr. Beasly and finally by Mr. J. ! 1. Adams, her present employer. We learn that each of the above named parties witli whom she has muded, epeak of her in kind term and represent her as having con ducted herself with great propriety In every respect. It is but justice to the officer Laue, who went with the woman to the house of Mr. Adams, to state that he was totally unacquainted with the woman Betsy j Powell, and went merely as a friend j to what he considered a distressed j mother trying to reclaim an erring child. ! and the sympathies of the public julve been much aroused in favor nr thr riri in ;thr ...nt ihn 1 m " a a a a A a a a a a a v. a a a - a v woman, Betsy Powell, has exhibit- the instincts of a brute in the base pro'iosal which she is alleged to have made to one she claims as her own offspring, and even should no relationship exist between them i her vile proposition to an unpro- tectcd and innocent girl, stamps t her as a devil in human shape.

A coil siderable business is done by cotton buyers, ---We 5 now , have two cot ton gins and two more will be ready fof operation by-time' the season comes on, all to be run . by steam engines. No place in the State, according to population, can boast of as much enterprise and energy as Durham.- The Durham paper says: On the public highway, in Chatham county, near Loekville, a large oak was taken up by the roots between suns, by some unknown oerson : no one seems axue to ac count for this strange freak, unless it was done by some superstitious Derson who had dreamed that a treasure of great price was deposited beneath the roots ot the stately oak.

Hiram Day, writing to the Banner from Island Ford, says : The cotton crops in this section are promising, though a little rust has been discovered on some farms, but no serious results apprehended as yet if it gets no worse. There has also been a kind of lice on cotton, though no damage done by these that I know of. The corn crops look very well, but not quite so good as last year. Tho election passed off in our Township very quietly. L. A. Holland, Democrat, and Daniel A. Scruggs, Radical, elected mag istrates, giving us one of each party. James Phillips, W. D.

The editor of the Raleigh News writes thus of Jo Turner of the Sentinel-The editor of the Sentinel seems to think by frequent repeti tion of a falsehood without a scin tilla of proof, he can make it answertl the same purpose as truth. When he asserts that the Raleigh and Gaston Railroad or any other cor poration, in or out of the State, has any interest in the Raleigh News, or lias ever had, he lies, he lies de liberately, he lies wilfully, he lies maliciously, he lies corruptly. AH of the leading officers of the late Confederacy, including ' Gener als Beauregard, Gordon, Lilly, Mc Causeland.Gary andothe deplwe the utterances of Mr. Jefferson Da vis lately at the Montgomery White Sulpur Springs. They regard it as indiscreet, unfortunate and not at all representative of Southern Sen timent ; and they regret that, un like General Lee, Mr. Davis has not mentioned his self-respect and dig nity by a solemn and imperturba kia .iionm an all matters that per- taintui tn nniitios. Were It not for a norannAi rpcftrd and. in so me in stances, personal friendship for the late leader of the "lost cause," these gentlemen would denounce in strong terms the foolish speech be fore theSouthern Historical Society.
