We were shown on Tuesday by Mr. Joe Wood, who lives at the brick "house, a stalk of cotton twenty inches long and having twelve squares 011 it. Jle says, w hile all his crop is not so large as that, still a good quantity of it is, and he will have a bloom in a short w hile. Blount's mill jond in Greenville county, Virginia, is full of lishes, and iieople catch them by the hundred, .ast year this time grass was growing where the ond now is and cows grazed there. As soon as the fish became acquainted with their new home and surroundings they will not bite so readily, but will know better. Live and learn. Down on the Wilmington road is a tree that is supposed to bo haunted. One day last week an engineer w hile his train was stopped, walked out sev eral hundred feet and heard groans w hich sounded as if coining from a hu man beinir in the deeiest distress and agony. Examinations were made but nothing was found to throw any light on the subject. The tree is perfectly sound and the moans and groans can not be accounted for. Large crowds of people visit the scene but the still continues its terrible cries. tree Item fr-oiii Forsyllio. Correspondence of the News. Winston, June B.

AS ADVANCE OF THE " COLOXF.LS." army OF The (Jrauil ('ainpttifrn Instituted Against the Aiiamournl N pee lew of the Tribe of IeonMls. Correspondence of the News. Mt. Gileap, June When Crom well violated the sanctity of the House of Commons and directed his hard hitting psalm-singers m "take away that fool's bauble," no doubt it sent a thrill of horror through the hearts of all law-abiding and form-observing Englishmen. The bauble to which he referred was the speaker's mace, and was, and is, the symbol of the common attorney's power in the realm of Great Uritain. It Is an emblem of authority contradistinguished from that of the crown, and representing the English people in Parliament assembled. It is the type of the House which it controls and whose servant the Speaker is. As a consequence, the rights and powers ot the Speaker, as of the House over which lie presides, have been er3- jealously watched and sedulously guarded by English freemen from the lirst. Fortunately for that people the veto power resides without the mace, and it has becoine'necessary to guard the prerogative of the Speaker only from the encroachment of the crown. Our constitution declares that "the legislative power is vested in a Senate and House of 1 representatives, words to that effect. or THK LAST SKSSIOX OK T1IK u K.VI T.AL ASSKMHf.V, however, has demonstrated the fact that this is a mistake. The legislative power of the State now resides in a Senate, a House of Representatives, a pair of Speakers and the Secretary of State. Tho object of having a Senate and House is to make buncombe speeches and do honor to the Speakers by presenting them with canes and watches. The function of the Speakers is to veto what the Legislature does when it ought not to have been done, and to do what the houses fail to do. The dutv of the Secretary of State is to put in the "brackets," fill up the gaps, correct tho spelling and try to make sense out of what the Speakers and the "hands" have done. To illustrate, the journals of the two houses say that the school bill passed unanimously, and the two Speakers, with equal unanimity, neglected and refused to sign it. The same is said to have been true of a bill making some small appropriation for a canal ; lU'l THAT WAS IN THE KANT. Senator Henderson saws that chapter HI never passed at all but both the Speakers declarejunder their signs-manual that it did. So, it will be seen that they have power both to kill and make alive whatsoever enactmeut of the Legislature they will. In England the Speaker has a mace, but our Speakers dou't need any. They have investiga tion committees instead which they send after men and newspapers w ho don't believe in Mud Cut and the great, the insatiably great, Western N. C. R. R., with its marvelous bifurcation. The English have a "Speaker's bible." I don't know whetherour Speakers have any bible or not, but I am assured 011 good authority that they hare a "mji - .scienrr" between them! And that conscience is a very sturdy one, too. for it prevents them from signing a bill to give the poor ignorant school children of the State a quarter of a dollar atneee etu-h yearor two years.' It seems that it even prevents them from trying to do it, for when the Superintendent of Public Instruction, acting 011 behalf of the quarter of a million of beneficiaries which the law has intrusted to his care, urged that they should append their names to this bill, suggesting that if they were fmieti officio, it COULD DO NO HARM, and if they were not it would do much good, Moring, the limber Chathamite, pulled out this conscience which he had been carrying round concealed somewhere about his clothes ever since the memorable controversy about "House Bill No. 422," and the gigantic Maconian tumbled over it, just as nat urally as Mud Cut slides down hill every time the President of the road gets out of sight! Thus far had I written, Mr. Editor, when I received the inclosed letter from my former old friend, now "Colo nel" and enemy, Hugh Sparks. I shall not write any more at least not if "Colonel" Sparks gets back all right. Yours very respectfully, JUDUTHUN JkKMS, the old man of Mt. Gilead. Pekin, N. C, June 18, 1K7H. ,t'tulhii n .Teems, Ksq.: Ukak Sin.- You've played the devil with your letters to , the 'newspapers, haven't you? I should think a man of your age might have had sense enough to have kept on selling snuff and molasses and raising collards in that littte patch you're always brag ging about as your "horticultural reser vation,'" instead of getting all your neighbors into trouble with your infer nal nonsense. A man with such a fam ily as yours to support in such a hard scrabble country asMt. Gilead had bet tertend to his business, if it ain't much, instead of setting every bod v- by the ears writing about them in the newspa pers. If you keep on there won't any body go to that little busted tumble down, off-corner grocery of yours, much less buy anything of you; and you know mighty well that if your neighbors should stop SWAIM'IXO posstms and WII.I)-UMi-M EAT for the miser able second-hand notions you've managed to get trusted for, first in one place and then in another, you'd bo on the outside-poor list before 'sim inon time conies round again. A pretty man 3011 are to talk about humbugs, and at the same time try to make peo ple believe thai you had a power of business at Richmond and Greensboro, when you know you never w ent a step beyond Charlotte, and I expect you must have jumped your hotel bill there or else sponged on "Colonel" Dumont for a night's lodging. You just w anted to niakesonieone think that you had got a new stock of goods, but i w as w atch ing you, old fellow, and I seen you take those old boxes out of your cellar, scrape off the old names and put on new directions. That's a trick that you've played more than once bct'oie. And you talk about "humbugs." Then what did you want lo meddle with military agriculture or any other kind of agriculture for? A man that CAN T RAISE RATTLE SNAKES Oil SEED TICKS in Montgomery, with a fair showing when he craps his land him- self, and that never gets any thing but taxes and the chills to his share when he rents it out, had better sing mighty low about "agriculture" and "agriculturalists" too. There's that little fellow Polk, I never thought he was of much account anyway, though he did get off a good thing now and then, as when he said that 'EVERY LAWYER OUGHT TO BE TAXED JUST TH E SAME AS A DOO and for the same reason." He didn't say what the reason was, nor whether it oujght to vary according to sex or not. jl never heard that he received anything nut an exotic colonelcy, bo- fore he became commissioner; but his friends say he has done a heap "better there than they ever expected." I don't know what they expected but I really don't think he has raised much there except a right costly "Honor able." a $1,500 Secretary, a $40 a month Clerk (whom the Treasurer would not pay for), and a "guano tax" which comes out of the farmers at lawt for the support of his Department. I never tooK much stock in these "eminent agriculturists" either. They generally make a living by spiculathig and farm for the fun of the thing. I've 110 doubt they sometimes make two blades of grass grow where none grew before, perhaps, but the grass ain't worth half as much as they put on to grow it, un less they balance their estimates with "enhanced values," or raise crops of advice which they throw in for nothing when they sell important stock. But that's a heap better than you can do. VOU NEVER RAISED NOTHINO Kl'T CAIN, and you're alw-ays raising that when you ought to be doing something else. What I'm mad about is this "Colonel" business. What on earth did you want to meddle with that for? If Polk and Dumont liked the exotic military title business what was it to you ? I think myself that it was cheeky for Dumont 10 come nere preienuing to ue an im ported "Colonel, when we was just overcropped with the native breed. However, if you hadn't got after the commissioner and made him give up 111s title and so made a vacancy. 1 would never have had the cussed thing stuck on me. I tried to resign the other day, but Adjutant General John stone Jones, another internal J. J. (1 never saw a man who had those ini tials that wasn't a durned Jawr-Jawer anyhow), he says it can't be thought of now because 1 veiust been ordered on duty and it would be contrary to the Articles of ar to allow an officer, to resign in the presence of the enemy and on the eve of battle. Besides, he sav-s its like Masonry, once a "Colo nel" always a "Colonel", I don't see how it is. The Commissioner of Agriculture put away his his voluntary brevet and became "Honorable" thereby; I had a Commis sion of the Peace anil caught the "Co lonelcy" bv accident, and now am told that it would be lis nnorahle to give it up. 1 see the title is "iitofea" by all the papers of the State now and quoted drun cheap, too. Its all your work They say the "EX-M1L1TA RY HONORARLE WAS SE ItlOfsLV olfended last winter when" the Legisla ture wanted him to swear to the ex penses of the Department; but if he don t cuss Jeduthun .Jeems without waiting to be asked, he ain't half as sen sible as he ought to be. Just see what a kettle offish you've got me into. Here's the orders I got by mail: H E A Dq l ' A RT E Rs N. C. S.'G. June 12, 1ST!'. 1 General orders No. aoo-HST. Series of 1S7"J-"A." The following named officers will re port for dutv at Beaufort. N. C, to the Adjutant-General in person on the Fourth of July next at daybreak. A brigade composed exclusively of the six thousand eight hundred and tortv- one Colonels named below will be organized at that time for the purpose ol beginning operations against the hostil eforees of the I'ayttrnx Herntu'1 n, w hich infest the Eastern coast of our beloved State. It will be remembered that a recent movement planned for the purpose of deepening the channel of Beaufort harbor was in a large meas ure threatened by the numbers and audacity of the piratical crustacean. But for their unlawful and presumpt uous interference the Maconian Incu bus would without doubt have fully accomplished his mission, or perchance been rocked to sleep in the bed of old ocean, or happily cast up water-logged and battered beside THE STRANDED WHALE, which the Sunday law-makers took a Sabbath day's journey to explore. By reason o' their' attack the cost of the special train run lor the express pur pose ot transporting the Maconian In cubus and the shadowless speaker from Chatham, together with the conscience of the latter, was entirely lost. In order to recoup the loss and to afford another opportunity tor carrying this plan into operation, the movement indicated bv their order has been instituted. It has been determined to strike a blow which will drive this predatory deca pod forever from our coast. ly reason of the cost of the special train required to transport the former expedition, the funds ol this department are ex hausted and neither transpr rtation noi subsistence can be furnished. Every "Colonel" will therefore report at the rendezvous named, with ten days, cooked rations and armed WITH A PAIR OF TONGS AND A CLAM RAKE. In order to save money enough to take the Speakers to the sea side once more djuring the current nscal year, it is nec essary to use such economy that it will oe impossible to furnish uniforms and equipments, loach "Colonel ' will fur nish his own outfit which, it lost or destroyed, will be paid for by the State when duly reported upon voucner v.niz, forms of 187K. To reduce the chances of such expense, however, the "Colo nel " will be required to report in light running order, to wit sttaw ha s and white shirts. Umbrellas will be allowed during the heat ot the day, but. boots and trowsers are positively for bidden, as tending to interfere materi ally with the efficiency of the force. The brigade will be formed with the left resting on the Inlet, extending along Shackleford's bank at fifty paces from the shore, in two lines, with three paces interval, and will advance at sun rise along the whole line. On engaging the enemy the following tactics will be observed. The "Colo nels" on the left of the INDIVID! AL PAfll'RrS BERN ARDI'S t u, ice, sojer-crab) will advance brisk ly, not regarding the alignment, and will endeavor to kick the enemy into the middle of next week with the bare right foot. This may possibly be done in some instances, but usually the "Colonel" should be prepared-to find that the decapodal crustacean has con tracted his ir into res about some one of his interior phalanges, w ith an evident purpose of holding on. Thereupon the Colonel" upon the right should ad va ace briskly and 10 the relief of his comrade, engage the left rimores of the enemy w ith his left foot; I hereupon the right 'rear rank man will immediately uivance and with his tongs 1 '. I' 1 IRE AND DETACH THE PEi'WoP. The left rear-rank man will thereupon advance promptly with his clamrake to clear away the clinchers and toes which may" have been pulled oil in the encounter. The duty is an arduous one, but it is belicyed that no "Colonel" will hesitate to sacrifico EVERY TOE IN HIS ROOTS in order to deepen and straighten ; the channel of Beaufort and7 provide 1 an entrepot which shall render the "North Carolina S3'stem" acomple success. Remember the evres ot the West are upon you. By Order of the Commander-in-Chief, (Signed) J. J., Adjulaat Ge-ieral.

It is just to the true history of the con viction of Hill to say, that to very many who witnessed the trial or kept up with the testimony, the verdict of tho jury was a verv great surprise, ror verv many could not see from much that ap peared in evidence how it was possible for Hill and his wife to be anything less than a desalted couple, and that the fate of Simmons was just, as well as courted. Let all this be as it may, the trouble now is about the after ellect of this finding of the jury in Hill's case. The danger is that audacious lust may now claim immunity from it, and many a timorous but willing letcher take courage in his designs and inroads on the sanctity of the marriage relation. riiis verdict 111 Hill scase means noth ing of the sort. Given a plain case of seduction or debaucheiy of a wife, and the public mind rests such offenses against society, where they have rested immemorahlv in the hands of the in jured man. Nor more certainly is the public heart of our people resolved on blood for blood than that it is grimly set on the outlawry of the bad man who takes his serpent's slimy trail into the sacred precincts of a husband's rights. There were many eontradictions that must have been in the case under re view, to have produced the verdict which has been rendered, and tl.e prowling debaucher who presumes upon the finding in Hill's case will reckon without his host. Rut will it not be about the next week after the millenium before men will fully believe that the way of the transgressor is hard and that It is cheaper and much better to do good than evil. We have much' to deplore in our good old State, and in this wideawake city, ot crime and vol unteered trouble. We should go lo work earnestly and instantly, and be gin at the right place. That beginning ought to be made at the fountain head of public opinion. Make good ideas and right conduct so popular and in fluential that bad men will dread to do wrong, even if they never learn to love the good. More Money Appropriated Than Iw Oenerally Known. Charlotte Observer. We have reason to believe that there is a combination between the represen tatives of certain sections for using and spending the State's money. We think that the movers in the scheme have at heart more their own promotion than the well being of the State's interest. No more appropriations for internal improvements should be made until the old debt is paid, and not then unless the State is willing to assume the re sponsibility of County, Town and City appropriations for internal improve ments, so as to put all on an equal foot ing. We are opposed to all f u rther State ap propriations lor Railroads unless the .State w ill assume the County and City debts contracted for building Railroads. That would be fair, and equalize bur dends. The Representees from coun ties having public debts of the sort should stand on the principle suggested. and no one should be sent to the Leg islature who refuses to do so.
