After Mr. Wilson had revealed the whole thing to me, I told him I re garde>l the mf^vement, as outlined by i.im, as being a very dangerous one. a:,d that I thought it would re.-ult in the destruction of the alli ance and the defeat of the reform movement then proposed, and I pos itively refused to have anything to -1 J wi' h it. Mr. Wilson tlien buene*] in my presence the obligation which he iiaJ read to me, and pretended ho was niorely considering the ad- vi.-ability of organizing the order, although I have since learned he had initia^(‘d Mr. M.

IIdhok:—Thiough the medi I uni ( f the press I desire to lay be- ; fore the people of North Carolina i two letters rec(‘Utly a'ddres.=:ed to‘me h'y -Mr. M. L. Pieod, a member of the ; } resent hou.-e ui representatives c.nd I }i p^'ominent memb r of the alliance, I and Mr. J. S Bel), a member of the I present state senate, and recently state alliance lecturer, disclosing the existence in this state of an unlaw ful and dangerous secret political society, whose chief is S. Otho Wil son, the official head of the people’s party in North Carolina. The letters show conclusively that this society did exist in this state but recently, and if it has ceased to exist, the duty of showing this fact rests upon the men who, it is shown, introduced it. In exposing this dangerous scheme to the liberties of the people and the peace and good will of society, these gentlemen but discharge a plain duty of good citizenship. The facts which they have disclosed clear the mists from the present anomal ous political situation in North Car olina, and explain many things con nected therewith, otherwise unac countable because so radically at variance with all the known cherac- teristics of our people. It accounts for the refusal on the part of many of those supposed to be under the inlluence of this society to hear dis cussion upon important questions aflecting vitally their highest inter ests; it accounts for their refusal to read literature not having the stamp and sanction of the leaders in this movement: it accounts for their bad • tem]ier and the absence in their political conduct cf that independ ence and conservatiism which has I ever been a di^tinguised characteris tic of the North Carolina * breed” wherever found; it accounts f or the automatic and subservient n>anner . in which in their political evolutious j thty mc've and act; it accounts for the remark.- we frequently hear coming from the >imp,er but more . holiest of the-e p**Op.e to the e!'ffCt tbat they cam. -t !■) what they know and admit to be their political duty ^ t*eea i?e they are >worn to doothwr- wi>t ; at.d it acr.-unts foe the humid atir.g fact that a peop*e hitherto brave and free have ap-parently siir* rtr-Lider«-d their indep-endence felteit-d. j their con.'-ciences and cea>ed to act ' as free men.

DKI.A AIKU \ IHtl \>l. lia-> l>i'cuiiil;iiil \ im I .l(- t A telegram from (.ireenup, Ken- tuckp, tells of the remarkable ilream of Joseph Keaton about pre.=>identi»l elections anl how he has hit it every time with wonderful precision Fight years ago, just before the jac'siden- tial election, he dreamed of crossing a high and very narrow bridge, lie says he had u rough journey, but readied the end. Just as he did he lo-t one of his shoes. He interprets it by saying the bridge represented the journey (develand had to the white houso and the lost shoe the death of Hendricks. Four years ialt r he had a similar dream, in which he found himself passing through a_ deep forest whence he never emerged. This he interpreted as presaging the defeat of Cleveland, which occurred later. Last week in dreamland he says he was crossing another bridge much higher than the first and so narrow that he was afraid to walk, but sat astride and “cooned” it along. Near the middle of the bridge he dis covered a hatchet, which he carried with him. He had not traveled much farther untill he found a use for it in removing nails be found partly driven in the woodwork, after which he proceeded in safety to the end,when he found a beautiful green field filled with sweet dowers and heard bands of music playing and tuneful voices singing loud hosannas. Mr. Keaton savs he cannot yet se« what the hatchet and nails lepresent, but he is fully assured that Cleveland will have a safe journey to the white bouse and some good things will grow out of his administration.— [Durham Sun.

The far mers’ alliance cl Nortli Carolina, a* I i f othr*r state?, has, under the inrl i net' of de‘iigning men an 1 if mago;;; i* >. perverted the original intt-nti--n'f :;a*order,andcon- trary to the con-tiiai. n thereof, has formed Itself, in pirt. i!.t =a new poli tical party; and Whereas, Themaj rity ef the mem bers of this alliance have strenuously opp«o>ed such a p,)htical movement fr.nn it> inceptioi'; therefore !*e it. Kesolved 1st, That the farmers’ alliance is. undt^r the con-tit it ion,non partisan. 2. Th‘»t tht* forming of a now political party is v. '!ni.ai .»f haid cons-t.tution, destructive to the order itself and injuriou- t.> the best inter ests of the country. 3. That the princi' !t s nf the alli ance in the true sense of the word are of democracy and inilentieal. 4. That we shall su^'i'ort the ih mo- cratic ticket, as heretofort*, believing it to be the only party o( tarifl' re form, economy, jii-tice, and tho proper administration of the govern- ment. 5. That we r grtd tht chism in the alliance, believing tnat if wo hr.d steert‘d clear of polities and norkod m the oKi jarties as heretofore, great good wouid hive been the resnh. (*). That wo are stiil ] roud of the constitutional element of our or-ler, always true, con>ervative and abid- ing. 7. To the mtaidjers of the alliance who are “third part}” men, we would suy: Farewell, we cannot afliliate with you; you have been miseducated; you are fatally injuring tho order and your own selves personally: come back-if you will; we will forgive you and receive you as brothers; if not, a sal farewell. Lastly, that a copy og these resolu tions be sent to the Progressive Farmer, State Chuoniclk, News and Observer and tho Smithfield Herald with the request that tho demo cratic press of the State will pul>- lish the same. Adopted unanimously by a rising vote. H B. Bbady, Sec y. Oct. 15 18G2. Gen. Sickles Defend* C'ioejMnd. From a Sp*'eh la I ’ii-a Now as to President Clevelan^ra record in behalf of the soldiere. They charged that be has vetoed a good many pensioD bills. So be has. I hare read his vetoes. I am a soldier. I love my soldiers. Had I been president and ek^congresa had passed such bills for my soldiers, I should have vetoel every one of them, too. They were mostly all frauds and shams, and I had no frauds under me. Any right-minded man,, sworn to discharge his duty, would have signed tbef-e vetoes as president Cleveland did. Chairman .Simmo.-i^ says that post- ofllce ofTiciala have been guilty of robbery of the mails in their desire to serve the republican j arty. Mr. Simmons .«pecifical]y states that .SepteUiber 2.;r i he sect each county chairman a sealed letter, conlAiniLg in.‘-tructions in regar 1, to registra tion uh h r the Lew e’f^jtion law. Having reason to believe liis mail had heretofore bren robb^id in tran- .->it. he addresfti i a letter to each chairman in.^uiring if he had re ceived the letu*r fi above date. About !lfteeL replied that they had not. the remainder acknowledged re ceipt.
