But the editor of the-"Press" thinks it
hard that we should bring up bis pulpit ora

at the time we gave him no "reproach" for

medley of arrogance, conceit, nonsense and ig

laughing stock of its few readers.

to believe that the Administration intended to
use the thirty millions of dollars it asked for of

my honest opinion," said Clemens, "the intention
was to use it as a corruption fund to secure the
nomination and election of John Slidell aaPresi

the past history of either James Buchanan or
John Slidell to place them above suspicion. Give
them thirty millions of dollars to be used in buy

SABBATH SCHOOL CELEB RATION-
-EX
CURSION TO FRANKLLNTON PICNIC,
. Ac., &c. 4
On Wednesday last the Methodist, Baptist and
Methodist Chapel Sabbath Schools of Raleigh eel
ebrated their annual anniversary by an excursion
to Franklinton. ; Tne citizens of tbat hospitable
village having been apprised of the intended
visit of our Sabbath Schools, had made every nee
essary preparation for their reception and enter
tainment.
At 8 o'clock ort Wednesday morning, the seve
ral schools assembled on the Capital Square, and
after forming iBto lin, under the charge of their
respective Marshals, proceeded through Fayette-
ville and Davie street to the Railroad Depot. Her?
was found the plendid ant beautiful locomotive,
the "Grt'rge W. Mordecai," with, a train of six
coaches attached, already firld up ad in reai;nes
for the transportation of the Sabbath Schools to
Franklinton. The locomotive ws bU"-nihei up
in a handsome manner, and was decked with nu
mcrous bouquets and wratKs of fl.iwers, "whi
rave it a eav and beauti ul appearance. The
credit of thui arraying the "MTdecai". is due, we
understand, j to j Mrs. Albe. t Johnon and her
daughters, who very kindly furnished the wreaths
and bouquets, and to Mr. Mortimer Fleming, the
engineer in charge of the fain, (and who, we
learn.is regarded as one of the best and most care
ful engineers on the road.) to whose excellent taste
was left the admirable manner in which the
wreaths, Ac, were arranged.
About half past 9, the teachers, children and in
vited guests having ben safely stowed away in
the coaches, and the doors of all the coaches lock
ed by that popular and excellent conductor, Capt.
Timber'ake, who took this precaution to prevent
the possibility of the occurrence of an accident, the
train, with its precious load of upwards of five
hundred souls, slowly moved off in the direction of
Franklinton.
In one of the coaches were several gentlemen bf
Raleigh web had very kindly organized them
selves into an amateur band of music fortbe occa
sion, the sweet strains of whose delightful music
contributed no little to the enjoyments of the day.
Indeed, the performance of these gentlemen added
so largely to the pleasures of the day that we think
it is due to them that we should mention their
names, and we trust they will excuse us for the
liberty we take in doing so. The names of the
gentlemen, with the 'instruments on which they
performed, are as follows: Mr. Wbitaker, the
violin; Messrs. Scheib and Cook, guitars, and
Messrs. Dodd and Harrison, flutes.
While on the way, ' the happy excursion vu
made the woods resound time and again with
cheers, and would salute every residence they
passed with cheers and the waving of handker
chiefs.
The train arrived at Franklinton about 11 o'
clock, where the visitors were met at the depot by
the committee appointed by the citizens of that
place to receive them, consisting of Dr. Winston,
Dr. W. C. Lank ford, and Messrs. C. C. Blacknall,
J. J. Thomas Jr., and G. W. Neal, as well as by the
two Sabbath Schools of Franklinton, the Metho
dist and Baptist, and by almost the, entire popula
tion of the place. After alighting, the, visitors
were escorted to the front of the Hotel, where they
were welcomed to the village by Mr. G. W. Neal,
in a happy and eloquent address, which was briefly
responded toby Mr. G. A. Sykes on the part of
the Raleigh Sabbath Schools.
They were then escorted to the Baptist Church,
the pulpit, walls, and columns of which were
found to have been arrayed by the fair daughters
of Franklinton in an attractive and gav holiday
attie,consistinir of bouquets, wreaths, and fustoons
'of flowers and ever greens. After a most impres
sive prayer by the Rev. Mr. Hendren, the Chief
Marshal. Mr. A. M. Oorman, introduced Mr.
Willie J. Palmer, orator of the Baptist Sabbath
School, to the audience, who proceeded to deliver
an address of some 20 minutes in length, abound
ing in beautiful sentiments, impassioned eloquence,
pertinent quotations and instructive thoughts
At the conclusion of this add res, the band play
ed in a delightful strain an appropriate piece t
music Mr. S. L. Riddle, the orator of the Meth
odist Sabbath Schools, was then introduced to the
audience. His remarks were quite brief, ut ex
ceedingly eloquent and appropriate to the occasion,
and were delivered in a vigorous and forcible
manner. Both orations -wre felicitous and ap
propriate, and tne orators nave just cause to feel
proud of their efforts.
At the conclusion of the last mentioned address,
the band a?ain performed some appropriate air.
The Chief Marshal to en announced that the Com
mittee of Arrangements would proceed to arranA
the tables, and the audience might disperse until
they were informed by the ringing of the bel tbat
dinner was ready. It was not' long before the
bell summoned tbe dispersed crowd to the grove in
the rear of the Male Academy, where were found
spread out on tables of great lentrth, a superabun
dance of meats, cakes, confectionaries, &c., suffi
cient for a considerable army. A charge was
promptly made upon the tables at every accessible
pqint, and the large quantity of edibles under the
weight or wmcn tney at nrst seemea to groan
were made speedily to disappear. When the ap
petites of all were satiated, there were enough
of the fragments left to have filled "twelve bas
kets" (if they had not been very large ones,) and
.we understand that several boxes of provisions
prepared for the occasion were not even opened.
These were brought back, and very appropriately
distributed among the poor of the several churches.
After dinner ,the crowd dispersed in various di
rections, each one enjoying himself as he felt dis
posed. Quite a large number assembled in the
cool and pleasant church, where they were enter
tained by the tinging and playing on the guitar
by two beautiful yowng ladies of this city, of that
highly popular song, "Star of the Evening,", in a
a style so exquisitely sweet that it seeded to elec
trify with detigbt all who wore fortunate enough
to hear it, and they gave vent to their feelings by
an outburst of .uncontrollable applause. Others
afterwards sung several beautiful sacred pieces,
which was kept up till the hour for their return
home. "
But we have not space even to allude to the nu
merous pleasant little incidents of the day. Suf
floe it to say, that all who participated in the ex
cursion, enjoyed themselves far beyond their most
sanguine anticipations, and Wednesday last will
be a day long to be remembered eye, we may
truthfully say, never to be forgotten by every
one who took part in its enjoyments.
But we must not omit to mention what we con
sidered one of the most amusing incidents of the
occasion. One of the cormorants who partook of
the sumptuous feast, and there were not a few of
them, not satisfied with eating all that he could,
filled a large handkerchief with nuts, candies and
other confoctionaries, and stowed it away behind
a tree, where much to his chagrin, it waVdiscoy-,
ered and seized upon by a bog. ' As soon as it was
discovered that the hog was in possession of the j
bundle, several boys started in pursuit of him, but '
the animal did not release his hold upon the hand-
kerchief until he bad scattered pretty thoroughly t
its entire contents. The person who conccnled the
confectioneries was ashamed to claim the band-"
kerchief, so it was suffered to remain undisturbed:
where the hog had dropped it. This little inci-rv
dent afforded to those who witnessed it a greats'
deal of amusement. J ; . : .:
About four o'clock, the bell of the "George W.
Mordecai" announced to the visitors that it was
time for them to return home. In a little while
1all of the cars were crowded with .the excursion
ists', all of whom were reluctant to leave the scene
of so much pleasure as thy had that day enjoyed.
Mr. A. M. Gorman then delivered a most beauti
ful and elegant fare well speech ; to the citizens of
Franklinton, thanking tnem lor tne generous and
hospitable manner in which they had entertained
our visiting Sabbath Schools, to which the Rev.
Mr. Heflin replied in an equally happy and ap
propriate manner, on behalf of the citizens of
Franklinton. ; At the close of these speeches,. our
gallant and obliging conductor pronounced those
ominous words, "All aboard," the iron horse gave
one or: two snorts, and the happy excursionists
moved slowly away, giving threeliearty parting
cheers to the people of FrnnklinW). j About six
o'clock the train arrived in Raleigh, when the
several Sabbath Schools formed into line and march
ed to the Capitol Squats, where they dispersed
with three cheers. N
The day itself was one of the most beautiful we
ever faw,-and everything conspired to. maVe the
celebration, what it most emphatic illy was, one
ef the most delightful that any of the party ever
enjoyed. v
The generous citizens of Franklinton1 did eve
rything in their power to contribute to the general-enjoyment,
and will never be fbrgotton by the
excursionists for their kindness and hospitality.
The following sentiment of the poet expresses the
feelings of probably every one who participated in
the celebration of Wednesday last X ;
. "I knewj I knew it could hot lust :
'Twas bright, 'twas heav'nly, but 'tis past."
To the Marshal?, viz: Messrs. A. M. Gorman,
Chi-f Marshal, and P. F. Pescud, Superintendent
of , the Baptist Sabbath School, T. H. Brarae, Su
perintendent of the Methodist Sabbath School, S.
L. Riddle, Superintendent of the Methodist Chap
el SchooJ, Wf B. Reid, W. J. Young, W. HenryM
Harrison and Wm. T. Womble, assistants, mucn
credit is due for tbe excellent and orderly manner
in which everything was conducted, as it was no
doubt owing to their efficient supervision of eve
rything that we can have the satisfaction of say
ing that the day passed off with not the, slightest
accident to mar its pleasures. And while award
ing credit to' those who aided in contributing to
tbe general enjoyments, we must not overlook tne
excellent Superintendent of the Raleigh & Gaston
Railroad, Mr. P. A. Dunn, who took much inter
est in the success of the celebration, and material
ly contributed thereto, by furnishing a sufficient
numoer of coaches for tbe accommodation of tbe
large number who participated in it. To that ex
cellent anu gentlemanly Conductor, Capt. Tim
berlake, who gave ,uch general satisfaction to
everybody, the visitors were indebted also for no
little of their enjoyment.
lo Mat. wilder, tfesident ot tne tuieigh and
Gaston Railroad, th excursionists are deeply in
debted for his liberality n furnishing them with
a special train at the nominal cost of $30.'
To the ladies and gentlemen composing the Com
in it toe of Arrangements the thanks of the whole
company are due for tbe admirable manner in
which everything connected with the dinner was
arranged.
On the return of the excursion train, Superin
tendent Dunn, at our request, very obligingly had
the number on board counted, when it was ascer
tained that there were on tbat train 504 persons,
and several who went out in the forenoon had pre
viously returned on tbe mail train.
In conclusion, the asporter bees leave to return
his thanks to Messrs. G. W. Neal and. Jos. J. L.
Ward, of Franklinton, and Mssrs. P. A. Dunn,
P. F. Pescud, Wm. B. Reid, E. A. Wbitaker,
Captain Timberlake, and others, for their various
acts of kindness to him on the day of the cele
bration. He also deems it his duty to make men
tion of the great praise that was bestowed by the
entire company on Mr. Mortimer Fleming, the
engineer, for the great interest he manifested in
the celebration. .
MEETING OF THE TRUSTEEE3 OF
THE

A meeting ot the Trustees of the University
was held in tbe Executive office on Friday last,
present, His Excollency Gov. Ellis, President of
the . Board, and Messrs. Bryan, Bragg. Manly,
Courts, Ruffin, Hinton, Barringer, and Ho7den. ,
On motion, tbe President of tne ckrd was au
thorized to appoint a committee of twelve mem
bers of tbe Board to invite tbe President of the
United States to visit the State and be present at
the next Commencement at the . University the
Governor to be a member of the committee, mak
ing thirteen.1 Also, to invite the Han. Jacob
Thompson and other friends of the Prpaident, who
may be disposed to visit the . University at tbe
time mentioned. i
It is confidently boned that the President will
find it convenient tq accept the invitation.
Tbe Hoard also carefully (Considered tne cnarter
of the Bank of North Carolina, and, on motion
of .Judge Ruffin, unanimously instructed Mr.
Manly, the secretary and Treasurer, to subscribe
on bebalf of the University one hundred thousand
dollars in the stock of said Bank. The Board
seemed to entertain the opinion that the rght is
.v . m ,
reserved in tne cnarter to tne rruatees to suDscrioe
as much" as two hundred thousand dollars, and
that individual subscriptions cannot affect this
right, thus reserved; but it was thought best, to
subscribe but one hundred thousand at this time.
Tbe further and final subscription will bo consid
ered and determined on at a future meeting of
the Board. '.
Gov. Swain was prevented bv indisnensabledu-
ties at the University from attending the meet

frThos. G. Broughton, jr., who for a num

fifty years presided over the editorial department
of the Herald, should now have some rest in his
declining' years, and his two sons come forward
