We spoke at Ililbboro on Saturday last, to a large crowd of white and col ored voters. T. M.. Ariro, Esq., tlie anti-Convention candidate, at the close of a short speech. Introduced u to the assemblage. We had the patient and rcsiectful attention of the crowd,except an omisionaljinterruption from a very n-l faced and rather dirty looking per son, who we understood afterwards was it Mr. Ilur or Buss .Turner; We wre replied to by Major John W. Gra ham. About the close of our discussion, Mr. Ihijr or lluss Turner 'varied the usual entertainment on such occasions; by firing his pistol three times at a Mr. Strayhom, a Bepublican conventionist and law partner of the Hon. ; J osmh Turner of the Sentinel. The occasion ' of which firing was that, a moment be fore, Mr. Bug or Bugs, who is sonie.ro- lation of Mr. titmyhorn partner, had leon knocked down by Mr. Strayhoru, for applying to Mr. S., that pleasant . Conservative argument that he, Mr. S. was a d d scoundrel. Mr. liug or Bug's Turner's fusilade on his iBepulh- lican Convention friend, was welcomed vociferously by the crowd, with shouts of kill the d d Badical I j kill the d d Radical!! which" suggested to usl that Rcpnblican might vote for a Convention and tdM not be safe among his Convention, friends.

Hillsboro' is an hundred or more miles west of 'Goldsboro. That we were speaking at the former place, on Saturday last, must have been known to the editor of the Sentinel. Mr, Badger was speaking at Smithfield, twenty-five miles west of Goldsboro, and we hfive'reason Id lielieveT that the editor of the Sentinel knew it. Yet, in the mendacious and mischievous ac- count which the Gollsboro' riot, patch Hent to it, Senlinel gives of the it mutilates the dis and, states positively the deliberate falsehood, that Marcus Krwln and It. C. Badger were the speakers at Goldsboro, when one of us was an hundred and the other twenty five miles west of the scene of the riot. The balance of the extra Is equally unfounded and false. The riot did not originate In or hare anyViing whatever to do with politic. X cake and lemon ade seller came on the train from New- lwrn in Onlrishnm'. a colored man. andJ - - ' undertook to sell his refreshments In the latter town. lie was- arrested, by colored policemen, for a violation of a town ordinance, in selling without pay- ing the tax or, procuring a license, as required bv law. . On I us way to the lock up, he got away from, the police and rushed in among a crowd of colored people, 'vho jnany of them drunk were following ' him, demanding his release. A colored policeman fired in to this crowd, and the cake vender was again taken into custody and confined in a Hotel. The negroes, infuriated by being fired upon, gathered around and in front of the Hotel. One of them who was at :the door, iwith his back to it, persuading and urging the others to desist from their effort, to rescue tlie prisoner, was shot, from tho inside of the house and wounded ' in the arm. Another who was standing looking on and not participating in the, riot, 'vas shot through a window and killed. The' negroes fled rapidly then, and were pursued and ' fired upon by the police, and some others probably were wounded. There was. an .immense crowd in tho town, white and black, aS many, some of our ' informants say,-as eight thousand. The liquor shops were opcn,.aud of course . there were a. num ber of drunken, men. Mr. Thomas,; who was speaking, but out of hearing of the firing, and other Itepublicaiis, made urgent and successful appeals to he colored people to remain quiet and take no part in tlie row.- ;, ; 'Whether Mr. Stanly; .the President of the road, replied in tlie language at tributed to him in the extra 'Sentinel, to the demand of the 'Mayor , that he should leave the town, and, to .his -f lit nf hnldinir.iiim resnonsiblft. ave - '1. ik- "uv f "f form t)f expression, seems' to us appro- priaieuud suiUiblc,, under all the eir cunistances, in jeply to tho threats of a vaporing, meddlesome village Mayor, airainst those who had. nothing to do with an accidental breach of the iK'aco, aggravated,no doubt.by the criminally reckless "conduct of his" negro police- men.

It appears that a. couple of colored men in that town named Scott, and Simmons,' who keep barber shops, have recently taken an active and prominent part' in . politics ; A W have spoken at some of the meetings and made considerable effort to post and instruct their friends on the importance of proper action at the approaching elec tion. . For this action, the Southerner calls5 on tlie patrons oi tnese men to leave them. It says "that it is true these men have the right to. make political sneechess i ;.' . .

Editor Era : In the Western Senti nel, a Conservative paper published in this county, there appeared on the 18th of May, an editorial headed, ; 44 More Ku EJL.UXINQ.-A Negro Shot V Judge Cloudnola bUskeered.11 In the edi tonal referred to. it Is , stated, that on the Cth of May, five or six negroes wen to the house of old Jake Grabs, a ne gro blacksmith.and demanded entrance. Jake refused admittance. The parties broke down the door, . Jake being pre- oared, discharged his oia- musKet' ana brought one or them down. The woun ded man fell outside the door, and his comrades withdrew. Jake fearing a -renewal of the attack fixed up his door, and remained ready to lire again. The Wounded man laid there for some time crying for help, and finally some of tlie Sarty , returned and carried him off. ake says that their faces were' dis- icruised so that he could not see them but 4know dat feller dat hollowed so teas a nigger, and dot dey wanted to ael his money.1 No effort nas been made to ferret out the parties and place them in arrest. ' As there is no amuni- tion in this I outrage for Bepublican guns, we suppose no effort will be made until the guilty parties are out of the way. " I At Forsyth Superior Court, held the jast weeK in iiay, ooiiciior joyuu cau. ed old Jake to appear before tne urand Jury. He swore that ho saw some disguised parties, but could not tel who they were-'-could not tell by their voices whether they Were white or black. : Subsequently, during Court it leaked but, that a Dr. Westmoreland,had been sent for suddenly about tne utn or May, to attend a sick man in tne neighbor hood of old Jakes. It was thought it might possibly be the man shot by old -. i -iir i i : 4. ua&.e. xr.r v . in uueuieiiue to n ouuv mons appeared before the Grand Jury and testified that on the same night old Jake's house was attacked, he was call ed to visit a mail that was sick. He called and found a man that was eho and badly wounded. He refused to give the name of the man or the per sons who were with him when- be saw him. on the ground that communica tions made to Doctors were privileged. Judge Cloud had the Dr. brought be fore him in open Court, and told him that if he refused to give the name of the wounded man and other , parties, and divulge all that he knew a about the matter, he would send him' to jail and keep him there until he consented to make a full discloseure. The Dr. was again sent before the Grand Jury, and again refused to testify, Tlie Judge then ordered him into the custody of the Sheriff, there to remain until the order of the Court was complied : with. Before the Sheriff locked him up, the Dr. sent for his counsel Gen. Scales. After consultation .with Gen. S. Wes tenoreland came into Court - and said that he would give the evidence, if the Judge wTould release nim iroiu. the nn prisonment. The evidence was given and the Dr. released. ' Mr. Editor, the Dr. gave the names of five respectable (? ) white men of Stokes county, who did the Kuklux ing, or attempted it, at old Jake's house, on the night of the 6th of May. A warrant was! issued, and two of tne five men were arrested, and an exam ination had. in open Court, before Judge Cloud. Old Jake and Westmor land were examined. Jake testified as to the breaking, of his door, $rc. Dr. Westmoreland ('testified that on. the same night, he went to see a sick man. Went to an old shanty near Jake's house, and there met five white men- one shot and badly wounded.. . That their disguises were in the room, wrapped up. I and were bloody. That the men .confessed they had attempted to break into old Jake's house that night, and metwith :a warm reception. That they just went there for a little fun; didn't mean to do any harm, etc., cte. Geo. M.- Mathes. the editor, of .the Western Sentinel, the author of the arti cle above alluded to, sat in court and heard every word of the testimony, Instead of the niggers that old Jake "knew had come to steal his money, the guilty men were white Ku Klux, members of Mr. Mathes' party. From that day to this he has not had the honesty to come out in his paper and tell the truth. Why does he not tell his readers, that Judge Cloud, who waS not a bit "skeered," and Solicitor Joyce did ferret out the. perpetrators of the outrage upon old Jake, and that instead of being niggers, they were white dem ocratic Ku Klux, who didn't mean any harm but just wanted to have a little fun? Gen. Scales, Col. Heaton, Col Gilmer and other Conservative members of the bar were present at Court.and know all about the facts as above detailed. They keep it quiet. It-won't do to noise it about. They endorse the ad dress of Gov. Bragg and others, which declares hey are satisfied these out rages "are - confined to a few localities, and are not perpetrated by, bands that m !.." -1 nave amuauou wiui eiuier oi un. po litical parties of the State." We have the most cheering news from all parts of the' county in regard to the Convention. Forsyth will go against it by fully 500 majority. Dr. Wheeler has not only done good ser vice on the stump, . but by his sturdy blows and - unanswerable arguments has driven his antagonist Pegram from the field. Pegram being some what religiously inclined, it is said, that on the fourth day out, he remark ed to a friend that his conscience troubled him, and the more he heard the Contention question argued, the more he was convinced, he could not tell the truth' and keep the stump. That accordingly he retired to the quiet shades of his peaceful home. He thinks he will not be responsible here after for anything that Blum or Wat son may say. 1 Enclosed I send you list of names for your weekly, 89, with the money.'

They have often seen in the twilight of summer, even-in"- a singular, apparition. Suddenly. onthe banquette of Music street, has appeared an old man, with long gray hair, and clad in the costume of half a century ago. The garments 1 were faded and worn,, but revealed a rich ness which in . earlier j days .was , more fitted for a court than an viiiencaii metropolis. He.was a very tall ; man, though a hunchback, and but for the deformity would have been of gigantic proportions; : In the breadth of TBhoul ders, deep, powerful .chest, and long nervous j arms resided . maryelous strength.: while the lower limbs fash- ,v,wHn mno-nifippntstrenfftli and beau- ty, arrested attention and commanded admiration wherever ho appeared. Ho spoke to no one, looked at ho one, but in silent abstraction pursued his lonely walk fir into the night.. Years , went byi and night after night little- chil dren paused in their play to watch the receding figure of the lonely man. It must' have, been forty, years ago that he 11191 win Jv; w ui viijt - dle-aced then : but as the years flew by tlie sturdy frame remained flexible andjactive, but the hair grew gray and hia'face I was seamed w ith wrinkles. He iived in a. .little brick building that sat f back from tne street. ,vim vines crept over the . crumbling tiles and' wreathed fantastic shapes on the chimney-tops, in the ' yard' beautnui flowers bloomed all the year round, and their rich ; perfume made, the' air sensuous and sweet. At a -window, shaded by a 'trellis work, hid in tho bloom of rose, the old man3 sat of af ternoons 1 and watched the - sun's de cline. No one else was . ever t seen in the house no one oyer, crossed .the threshold: and so he lived, a smile-v less sad old man, in a lonely house. But one day, not a great while since the neighbors saw, that the blinds ii the ; lijOuse were closed. The old man; had1 not' appeared on tho street for weeks; aWcf the grass had begun to grow from the chinks of the marble slabs at his door, and it began to be whispered'. about that the old man was dead. , At last one day the neighbors Hvent in they; were poor people, but kindly and true.) Sure enough,' -he was dead He lav pallid and stark on a pallet of straw,"1 There, were a few scattered chairsaround - the room,- and a plain table.' One onlyobject arested t hp. eye. Near the body was a rich casket, set in mother-of-pearl and gold. Jewels flash ed from the costly lid. and wreathed in the dust of diamonds were engraved the " lilies of France " in a coronet of gold, They opened tho box, and there flashed on' their eyeA the Bourbon dla- IGth of Autrust, 18:30. when Charles the .Tenth abdicated the throne of France-. in favor; of the Duke of Bordeaux. 1 Un derneath it was a manuscript., written in ; French. It contained ! only these words : " I am Charette. ithe Vendean general.; Maria of . Savoy was to have been my. wife. She was taken from me and given to the Comte d'Artois. T could have forgiven this." : but hh de serted me when most I needed his help and assistance.- I revengwl myself ami procured his overthrow, and am happy since he; died in exile." This was all. Over his life silence how raws a Vef?. Hisy Ward passions,- his inward con flicts, none can estimate. , nn,i sad he perished in exile; none could appreciate his injuries ; let no one'judgo too harshly of his life. Aem" Orleans:.
