The news was re ceived in Raleigh on April 15th, and we will in our issue of tomorrow give some of the incidents of the occasion - On yesterday we were shown a Onija Bonrd. We worked old man Onija for all he was worth. He told us" our name, our age and answered nearly every question put, to him. He is certainly a curiosity; if you care to have your fortune told, don't fail to try a Onija Board. It is a good pass time, and affords a plenty of innocent -amusement. Capt. 12. It. Stamps. We deeply regret to announce that this gentleman was paralyzed yester SW mornine at 9:30 o'clock in Tar- ooro, where be was attending the Presbyterian Synod. A dispatch fromVTarboro received in this city yesterday afternoon by the State Chronicle says: "Capt E. R. Stamps fell suddenly in Howard, Pender & Co's., store this morning with Jan attack of cerebral congestion. He was taken to Judge Howard's residence, where medical aid was immediate summoned. He Is resting more quietly tonight and hopes are now entertained that he may recover." The intelligence was a sad blow to the many friends of Capt. Stamps in Raleigh. We sincerely hope that he ' may recover. Tr- . The latest news is thatCapt.8tamps Jfl some better. The Surrender of Raleigh. a reminiscence. concluded The writer would state, just here, that it was hoped by all of us, that General Frank Blair would be the man to whom it should fall our lot to surrender the city, because he had in early manhood, been a friend and fel low student of Dr. Haywjod at Chapel Hill, and wa naturally thought, that old associations would have some weight towards securing favorable terms. The officer with his escort then re turned to the main body of troops who had halted on the brow of the hill, doubtless awaiting the result. But a very short time elapsed, when a body of men, considerably larger than the first, were seen rapidly ap proaching. Coming up, a small sized man encased in a rubber overcoat and overalls of the same material (for it continued to rain) dismounted and turned the reins of his horse over to an orderly. This man was General Judson Kilpatrick, the notorious Federal cavalry commander. At this juncture Mr. Rayner stepped forward and said : 'This is General Kilpatrick I pre sunie." "That is my name," replied Kil patrick, "whom do I address?"' "My name, Sir, is Rayner, Kenneth Raj ner, ".replied our spokesman;' :and I have been selected to formally sur render the city of Raleigh, the capi tal of our State, to Gen. Sherman's army." "I have frequently heard of you, ir." "I am glad to make your acquain tance Sir," replied Kilpatrick.extend ing bis hand. Mr. Kayner then introduced him to each of the committee. After a pause of a few moments, Mr. Rayner ad dressed Kilpatrick in a short and feel ing speech, the substance of which was about as follows: He said, that by the fortunes of war our beautiful city had been uncover ed and the lives and property of its citizens were ut the mercy of 8n in vading army; that the flower of its manhood were either following the war path under their respective com mands or had fallen upon the field of battle; that those of the inhabitants who were left were non-combatant males and helpless women andchildren that our city contained two asylums, one for the iDsane and one for the deaf and dumb and the blind, the un fortunate inmates of which had spe cial claims upon his protection; that our State Capitol was a beautiful specimen of architecture, the des truction or mutilation of which,while it could not in any manner add to the chance of the success of the Fed eral arms, would devolve great loss upon the State and be a severe mor tification to the people and, finally; that he asked for our people all the leniency usually in Vogue among the most civilized nations in similar emer gencies. This speech was delivered by Mr. Rayner in the most emotional manner. The speaker, as well as the others of the committee found it dif ficult to repress their feelings. Tears moistened the eyes of all. Some cried freely. Kilpatrick stood with head bent during the tin e, but seemed to receive the words of the speaker with cold indifference. In response, he said he would protect the lives and property of all who yielded obedience to law and order, and who recognized the "old flag" of the country, but that he should pursue to the bitter end, and with relentless fury, all trai tors in armed opposition to the in tegrity of the Union. The speech abounded iu excessive egotism and the pronoun "I" was pronounced with italicised emphasis, At a later period the substance of his re marks was communicated to a Federal officer of equa rank with Kilpatrick, who immediately replied that "Kilpatrick was looked upon throughout the army as a most con summate braggart." At the conclusion of the formalities incident to the occasion, Kilpatrick requested the committee to return, stating that he would at once send an advance detachment for the purpose of taking possession of the State House and hoisting the National flag thereon. Acting under this sugges tion, the committee re-entered the carriage and started back to town. Board of Aldermen. A meeting of the Board was held last night, to consider a request of the several railroad companies, erect ing: the Union Depot, to grant them five and a half feet on the north side of Martin Street, so as to avoid a change of plans for construction, etc After some discussion the request was granted.

If you can go to Swindell's and get a dress and all the trimmings for $6, then is there any reason why you should go to some other place and pay $7 for the very j same kind of dress and the same kind of trimmings ? Well, you are ready to say no; but this is just what you are doing every day. If you can go to Swindell's and get a nice suit of clothes for $10, is there any good leason why you should go to some other store and pay $15 for a suit no better? If you cm go to Swindell's and buy a carpet for 50 cts per yard, is it good judgment to go to some other place and pay more for inferior carpets? Now this kind of poor judgment is brought to our at tention every day. In our dress goods department we have instructed our salesmen to Bell nice dress goods re gardless of the cost. Yours truly. D. T. Swindell. Spring is Here, and W. G. Separk is fully abieast of the times. He has in his establish ment the finest selection of spring goods ever brought to this city. The best of it is, he is s Jlling goods at such prices as are bound to attract the attention of the public. Just think of it. Ladies' nice shoes of first class make, only! $2.00 unlaundried shirts at 50 and 75 cents, and laun dried shirts at $1.00. All other goods at corresponding low prices and of as good quality as can be found in the State. Let our people call at Se park's and j udge for themselves. Re member the place. W. G. Skpark's 12, E.
