Jloly Scripture was ; madeso it is. said,) by &
prominent Rad in this cityTwhen: he teard of
the nomination of the negro, Hyman. I sup
pose that the idea he meant to convey was, that
his black political brothers, had now ungrate
fully gone back on their - white brothers, and
wanted a share of the offices, and that he,
together with other Radical whites; intended to
give them h - and rub it in, or in plain Eng
lish, split the party in pieces. He is simply
mistaken. A The negroes are too well dried by
him and his associates, in party - tactics to be
split up as he may think. This state of affairs
is1 the result of-his own teachings; verily, verily,
he has sown the wind and must reap the Whirl
wind. - ' ., ". j ; I
When Hyman is" elected, if he is true to his
color, he will have every Radical now holding Fed
eral appointments in his Congressional district
turned out of office and their places filled with
men of his own color; and I expect friend Dick
King will go along about the same time if he
i4 not made to " git up and git " before the day
of election. Your only chance now, scalawpgs
and carpet-baggers, is : to rally around your
negro standard-bearer. ' You can't buy him "off,

ExcHANGED.-During the hurry and confu
sion attending the disembarkation of the pic
nic party from the steamer Raleigh on Thursday
evening, the cape belonging to the water proof
cloak of one of the ladies, became exchanged
for that of a child. The lady's cape is black,
with-scolloped, edges," and the person having it
will confer a favor by letting it be known at

Dispatch. The steamer Raleigh, of the Pio
neer Transportation Company, W. T. Harding
captain, arrived at her wharf Wednesday even
ing at 10 o'clock, with full freight to merchants.
Immediate preparations were made to discharge
the cargo and put sufficient naval stores under
deck to trim her for sailing; this was accom
plished Thursday at 6 A. M., and at 9 Ai M
she left her dock on an excursion to Slocumb's
creek, where the teachers and children of the
Episcopal Sunday School had decided to have a
picnic. Returning from the excursion at half
past seven, a large freight of naval stores and
cotton was put on board, and at 5 A. M., she
again left her deck for Norfolk.
; We judge the excursion party had a jolly
' time, as Boss Cannon, the worthy 1st Mate of the
steamer says . he hasn't had such a good time
since bis grandmother died.".

; ' JIe. &roB In spite of tba inclemency of
the wenther, the teachers and scholars of Christ
Church Sunday School assembled at the church
on Thursday morning from 7 to 8 o'clock, and
at 9 A. M. , might have been seen slow ly wencL
ing their way toward the steamer Raleigh, lying
at Capt: S. H. Gray's dock. . This gentleman
had kindly loaned the steamer for the p ic-nic.
! Having embarked, in a few minutes they
were standing down the river, grouped for
shelter-tinder all the awnings that could.be sup
plied being exceedingly merry and seeming
determined to enjoy themselves without regard
to the rain which was falling quite heavily,
j. After some little time, when everything got
well under way, the sound of music was heard
and soon the younger pleasure-seekers were
tripping away on the "light fantastic," until
abotit 12 M. , when they arrived at their desti
nation, a few miles up " Slocumb's Creek."
! Then came the fun of disembarking, which
was accomplished by means of small boats in a
very enjoyable manner indeed.; A portion hav
ing landed, they rambled off into'the bea'u.tiful
grove near by and awaited the rest, rho soon
came up, bringing baskets, &c, containing
everything needful to satisfy the appetite and
"gladden the. heart of man." ftl then Proceeded
10 the house of Mr. Arms, where we were re
ceived with open arms by all members of the
family, and the use of the house hospiiably ten
dered for-, eating and dancing, the J latter of
which was soon begun again, with renewed zest,
while the kind and considerate ladies devoted
themselves to preparing dinner.
1 1 About 3 P. M. an attack was made on the
viands, and in a short time the table was
despoiled of everything eatable, every, one be
ing satisfied with the delightful repast spread
for them. ,
; Next thing on docket, was the coronation of
the May Queen, which was postponed on ac
count of bad weather. The Herald, Master A.
J. Flanner, being absent, the eremony was
opened with a neat and appropriate speech by
the Crowner, Master George A. Oliver, who was
followed in succession by the Sceptre-bearer,
Master John Dunn, Garland-bearer, Miss Elean
or M. Jones, and young ladies representing the
four seasons, all delivering thieir addresses in
the most graceful manner imaginablei ' Then
the Queel, Miss Mary D. Ellis,, looking as
lovely as possible, replied with! her usual grace
in a right royal manner. - We must not omit to
mention the young body-guard, who being gaily
dressed and armed with spears, J were J ready at
any xnoiJent'to defend their royal Mistress from
any danger. . : 1 I :
After sthis impressive ceremony was over, the
whole ijarty returned to the steamer and regret
fully started for home. Dancing was again in
vogue,1nd this amusement was kept up until
they reiehed the wharf, about 7;30 P. M., where
all disinbarked and dispersed,1 speaking of a
most ielightful time, considering jthat the
