Galloway, Esq., of Goldsboro, is registered at the Yarborough. j Col. Robt, Strange, of Wilmington, and Jas. E. Shepherd, Esq., of Wash ington, arrived, at" the Yarborough House last night. Train ' Delay- Ice and Snow the cause. , The railroads are sadly out of joint. Almost impassable ice covers the tracks, and the pumps and everything else are frozen hard. The North Carolina train from the west was again behind time yesterday afternoon, on account of de lays caused by the extreme severity of the weather. The Raleigh & Gaston was w" "m' ifc cswm5 "iiaioui ahy Northern mail, having left Weldon before the Petersburg train could arrive. No express from Baltimore has reached this city since the 29th of December, and there is no immediate prospect here of any but a local business.. The North Carolina freight train which left Golds boro at 4 o'clock Wednesday afternoon, did not arrive here .until 4 yesterday morning, the engine having slipped from the rails bj' the peculiar condition of the track.' The weather shows little sign of mod erating, and until it does, there is little likelihood of any improvement in the running of trains. The Supreme Court. This tribunal convened yesterday morning at 10 o'clock. Tiie following was the business of the iay : T. H. SatteXwhite et. al., vs. Commis sioners of Beaufort county. ..

' . HOMICIDE IN ORANGE. George IJoyd hoots and Kills Will. Thompson. i We learn of a homicide which took place in Orange couiity, on Wednesday, under the circumstances narrated below. Mr. Will. Thompson; who lives in the county of Orange, had been with his family on a visit to friends at Chapel Hill, and returning home; stopped Mori day night at the residence of Thomas Lloyd, where he and the family remain ed until the next morning. Wednesday morning after breakfast, the Lloyd fam ily, Mr. Thompson and perhaps others, were out in the yard snow-balling, when Geo. Lloyd, a son of Thomas, got angry with Thompson, and drawing out a pistol, shot him in such manner that he died in a few moments. Our informant did not learn the locality of the shot, nor whether or no the slayer was appi-e-' hended. Thompson, the slain man, was a broth er of Mr. Henry C. Thompson, who is a clerk in the office of Col.' I. J. Young, of this city. He was or had been a rev enue' officer, and was at one time a can didate on the Republican ticket for the sheriffalty of Orange county, against Sheriff Hughes. .His remains were in terred yesterday. Last night, at Metropolitan Hall or in the street,afiiie thread cambric handker chief, with tatting border. The finder will please return.' t to this office, ' It ' Destruction of a Cotton Factory. The large cotton factory of- Messrs Williams & Murchison, 12 miles from Fayetteville, was destroyed by fire Wed-r nesday morning about 3 o'clock. . The origin of the fire is unknown. Tlie loss is about $60, 000, amount of insurance not ascertained; The fire throws about 75 operatives out of employment. Mr. Wynne's 1 on union. Mr. George W. Wynne, who was so seriously injured on 'Wednesday, has improved very greatly since our last issue. .Late last evening he was resting very easily, and was quite cheerful. His physicians now entertain no doubt of his ultimate recovery. Metropolitan Hall Last Night. As previously announced, the Ral eigh Amateur Dramatic corps made their second appearance in "Our Ameri can Cousin" at Metropolitan Hall last, night. ; . ' The entertainment -of the evening opened with a presentation of 'The Ma niac" by 'Mr. Louis Haywood, who evi dently entered into the spirit of the poetry and. sentiment of the piece and elicited the applause of the audience. In noticing the main feature of the evening, the comedy of "Our American Cousin," we can but reiterate what we said of it on its first presentation. Each and every one of the young ladies and gentlemen composing thejroupe acquhV ted themselves to the entire' "satisfaction of all present, and they may well con gratulate themselves on their brilliant "success. . We would like to extend our notice of the performance and allude to each of the actors separately, but ' the lateness of the hour at, which the curtain fell up on the last scenes prevents. In the middle "of the second act an alarm of fire was raised, caused by the burning of a stable ' in the eastern part of the city, whieTi caused .great alarm and confusion, and came very near bringing the performance to an abrupt" conclusion. - Members ofthe Citizens' Cornet Band formed amateur orchester and enliven ed the pocasion and added much to the entertainment of the evening. FIRES L.AST XIGIIT. Two in First WarJ-f-ffht .Losses. 7 There were tw-o fires in first ward last night. About 10 o'clock the first alarm was given, and it was discovered that the hot house of Messrs. Pullen & Pal mer, on Polk street, near Oakwood Cemetery, was on fire. This was en tirely destroyed, and with it the stable adjoining, which belonged to Mr. Stan hope Pullen, as did also the hot house. A horse and wagoin were burned with the stable. The fire is supposed to haVe caught from the stove in the hot house. The loss is about $200, over and above the value of the buildings and tlie horse and wagon. y At 11 o'clock the-alarm was again sounded. The fire was in the same sec tion of the city. A visit to the scene revealed that the stable on the premi ses of Dr. B. F. fcViiington, comer Per son and Polk streets, which premises are now occupied by Dr. T- DAMartrn, was on fire. Before any decided steps could be taken to stop the flames, they had entirely destroyed the stable. Dr. Martin's horse, carriage and harness, were saved. The- former was driven out by policeman Scales and a colored man huthe employ of Dr. Martin. The loss in this instance, exclusive of the stable, was about $20 in forage, ,&c. It is manifest that this tire w as the work of an incendiarv. i In both cases the firemen turned out, but could be of no service. Superior Court. Court met yesterday- morning at 10 o'clock. The following cases were taken up: State vs. John Mitchell, col., larceny; verdict guilty and sentenced to the pen itentiary for two years.

Vance's Inaugural. .. Norfolk Landmark. When our party 'was diseirssin.' the claims of possible candidates, Yance was the man whose banner we unfurled, and we iiailed his nomination with do- iigiit, ior we Knew that he would kindle a flame like a prairie fire in the hearts of his countrymen, and thus burn out the' aliens and native traitors who held possession of his State. He did his du ty manfully ! and .well , in the canvass and his inaugural shows that he under' stands the gravity of. the issues now before tlje American people. , It happens that his speech gives a very conclusive answer to Judge Mackey, who very gratuitously undertook to speak for Governor Vance the other day in Cincinnati. The- Captain-General of North Carolina in 'his own person savs what he thinks ot the duty of his State in this crisis, and his views certainly arc not those attributed to him by the gen tleman atove referred to. ' On the con trary, Vance is firm and decided in his belief that Tilden and Hendricks have been elected, and, in -his belief that the will of the majority should not be ig nored, by the powers that be. His speech, however, requires-no comment. It is pitched in a lofty key, and will vi brate from one end to the other ?f the American Uiiion, rousing a responsive echo in every manly heart. 1)1 D BLEDSOE.
