The Standard quotes North Carolina State bonds at 99 in New York, butomi s to state that they brought that price on the 2Sth of Jane in view of the?" payment of interest on the lit of July, and that on the 3d of July they fell to 91.

It reached the City Hall at 6 j o'clock where' the remains wero hjid in state till next day. i On the 3d they were escorted by the l?t regi ment to the steamer Jamestown, and formally delivered there about noon to the, Virginia Comr mittee. The Rational Guard embarked on board the steamer Ericsson at 11 o'clock, and both boats sailed at three "clock. On the arrival of the re mains at the! steamer.

Jour nal, an announcement of the formation of a new awintion of railroad and steamboat companies, with the purpose of offering to the .Post Office De partment to transmit 'the mails between New Orleans and New York in four days. They look to some additional improvements by which theyeipect to lessen the time some hours. The route is not described, but we take it to.be the sam which has been projected "so long via Charleston, S. C, Fornandina and Cedar Keys, in Florida, dependent on the completion of the rail road across the Isthmus of Florida,' which is nearly, if not quite, ready for us. The computa tation of time, made under existing" railroad schedules, was as follows : From New York to Wilmington, N. C, by railroads, thirty-five hours, fifteen minutes. From Wilmington to Charleston by railroad, at sixteen miles an hour, thirteen hours. From Charleston to Fernandma, by. steamboat, 158 miles, at only twelve mile an hour: would be tlrirteen hours. f . The railroad transit is estimated at six hours, and from Cedar Keys to New Orleans, by steamboat; is thirty hours. The whole distance from New York to New Orleans is thus . computed, on the rates of speed now used on the routes in operation, at four days and one hour. " - ; But the railroads north of Charleston can quick en their time, and the completion of the Seaboard and Chesapeake Railroad will enable them to de liver the mails in Charleston in thirty-five house front New' York, being ft saving of thirteen hours on the schedule, and bringing the transportation between New York and New Orleans down to three day and a half! . ; , Beit thi leaves quite a margin for reduction stiil." The leaders of this enterprise say that twelve miles the hour is slow progress for steamboats, and that there is no reason " why tho speed cannot be accelerated both on the Atlantic coast,' and in the Gulf to at least-fifteen miles an hour, and they-add that If our 'Mexican -Gulf Railroad could be extended to the Lake, shore, and Cat Is land- mado the steamboaftcrminns,llve hours more could he saved. What lhev undertake io demon strate ir, that they can bring the mails now with in four days, and that the route is susceptible 'of such improvements as will bring the time nearly down to three days only between -New York and New Orleans. "It is "a plausible pro ject, ; and large capital has .been pledged to carrv it through. New Orleans Picayune. TrtK Damage at Cairo. The, whole loss by the flood, it is said, will be inside of $60,000.

J ; ' f i A most painful scene occurred at Hertford on j Tuesday, the 18th.: Toward the closej of the pro- ceedings Jof the Hertfordshire election, just after i Sir Edward had concluded bis address with a fer- i j ! vent tribute of admiration to the womanly beauty, j exhibited in the long line of open carriages j chaises and vans drawn up in front of the hustings, ! there was an unwonted stir in the crbwdrwhlch i iwrted to admit of tho passage of a hired brougham j from one of the town inns.

Tlio appearance of the lady was not unexpected, as her coming had been announced in bills aind placards; but owing to a deception which had been practiced upon her by some -persons in the town, who bad introduced themselves to her, she wa? detained in tho town while the election Was proceeding in tho vicinity. v Trur,e in- the secret anticipated that she woulS not discover the mis take until the proceedings were over, and that her design would bo thus frustrated. v It; was nearly so. Recognised a soon as observed, her vojee was nearly drowBed bv the shouts of Sir Edward 'a supporters, but Sir Edward'sJ eye caught bfjrs, and .his face paled. He looked like a rriaa suddenly attacked by paralysis. Those near him say he trembled exceedingly. For a few moments he retained his position in front of the hustings, but turned his back on the unwelcome visitor.) Then he Suddenly disappeared below the hustinW platform, while his wife cried Coward," and po having hastily signed the usual declaration, esoan ed into the residence of the gentleman on wh0se grounds the election took place. . Lady ' Lytton continued to address the audience assembled for moro than quarter of an hour, "repeating her state ments in her pamphlet, ana asserting her inlejn lion to confront her busbandon every possible dc. fusion until she compelled "him to iredrcss bier wrongs. Her ladyship subsequently made an ap plication to the Mayor for the Inse of the Town Llall, for the purpose of. making a public state ment ; but, this being refused her, she left the toin early m the afternoon. Lady .Lytton arrived in Hertford at 8 o clock on the morning of the elec tion, having posted from Uaunton, where she re sides. It is needlers to say that the event describ ed has caused the greatest possible excitement Hertfordshire. . --O THE CORN AND. CACTUSA pREAM Although this journal is essentially j secular n its conduct, we need make no Rpology for occupy ing a small space with an item for the rcligioiis reader. We attended div ine service on Sunday last, in :the Presbyterian Church, Rev. .T. V. Moore, pastor, where we listened to one of bis best sermors. Tho subject of his discourse was the growing and crushing power of sin. - After narrating tyie variety of ways in which sin pre sents itself, and how imporceptibly it entangles the soul of the victim, the reverend gentleman related a dream of his, the night previous, which on account of its novelty, as well as its applica bility to the subject of the discourse, we will nar rate to the readerj although, in so doing,we ajre fearful of doing the worthy pastor injustice he having related it in a most effective and enter taining manner. "I thought,", said he, "I was in a corn field near Richmond, and that a general view presented tho finest field of corn my eyes had ever beheld. The stalks appeared to be taller than any I had ever seen- the grain . better develop ed the blades presented ft greener: hue, and the bright tassels nodded their heads gracefully to the passing breeze. ! After a closer view, however, ; I saw that many of tho stalks were in the sear arid yellrtw leaf, and others presented a sickly and With ering appearance. I then mado an examination into the cause of this blighting influence, atjd found that each stalk thus withered and dead was entwined to its very height with snaky cactus, its entire surface bristling with myriads of thorns.-!- The cactus had sprung up at the root of the corp. and at once embracing its victim grew; closer arid stronger nnii its emb'aTehai curshed out Its vitality.- I thought that thus it was with sin in it touch ; and that I brought One of the stalks Of corn with mo with the intention of exhibiting jit to you this morning, and that I actually put it in my pulpit but at that point my dream-vanished. But, said he, as I always d sire to fulfil my proirt- 1st. eyen : if made in a dream, 1 ; nave thought pi oner W relate it to you: this morning. l The everend gentleman then went ,rn to hi gentleman tnen went on io snow How sin embracing a human soul iu u very birth, was, like the cactus or ins dream, biignncg in its very touch, and, if not thrown off., will crush and wither, the victim, within its grasp.
