On and after the first day of October. 1883, the rate of postage on domestic mail matter of the first class will be re duced from three cents to two cents per half ounce or fraction thereof, as pro vided by the act of Congress approved March 3, 1883. After this reduction goes into effect the three-cent denomination of postage starrips and stamped envelopes will be but little used, and it is desirable to have as small a stock of them outstand ing at that time as possible. The Department has adopted a'new design for the two-cent stamp the head of Washington in pr jfile, from Houdon's bust, being placed on a plain tablet: above the oval surrounding the- head are the words ' United States Postage," and underneath the tablet are the words "Two Cents." The stamps will be printed in metallic red. The embossed stamps on the two cent stamped en velopes will also bear the head of Wash ington. A four-cent denomination of postage stamp and stamped envelope, to cover double postage under the new rate, will also be issued. The design embraaes the head of Jackson, similar to that on the present two-cent stamps and en velopes. The Department will revise the sched ule of prices of stamped envelopes by discontinuing the three cent envelopes, and substituting two cent and four cent envelopes as may be necessary. The price of tho envelopes, however, exclusive of the postage, will remain the same as on the existing schedule for like size and qualities. No change will be made in the post- No arrangements have yet been made for the redemption of three-cent stamps and envelopes in the hands of postmas ters, or for the exchange by postmasters of such stamps and envelopes in the hands of private holders. Until further notice, therefore, postmasters will not make exchanges for the public, nor will they return to the Department the stock remaining in their own hands onjuid after the first of October.

A. D. Hazejj, Third Ass 't Postmaster Qen'l. Death of Jndge Clark- The announcement made in our tele graphic columns yesterday of the death of Judge Jeremiah S. Black, was doubt less read with much regret by hundreds of thousands of Americans in every sec tion oi tne union. Men of all parties and sections must regret the death of such a man. A very conspicuous figure has gone to his grave. Judge Black had passed his three-score years and ten, and was in the full possession of his mental faculties up to the time of Ids ilne38. fie was a very able man. Weptoubt if ne has left behind in all America as vigorous a mind. He was the ablest political controversialist that America has produced in several gene rations. His political tractratea and re plies, published since the war, ought to be preserved in book form. They are conspicuous for their corrosive irony. for their cutting wit, for thoir noble el- oquepce, for their high and command ing views, lor their scorn of meanness and corruption, for their penetration and skill, and for their exceeding clear ness of arrangement and of statement. They are most memorable productions and we hope to own them and to read them again. Judge Black was a very strong ypion man and lie had no little to do with forcing on the conflict. He urged Bu chanan to take advanced ground in the early South Carolina troubles. If he had lived he would have replied to ex President Davis1 recent publication, and it would have been full of strength and sharpness. Judge Black did what he thought was right. He was not infalli ble, and he was not justified in all he did, but he acted from patriotic motives. Judge Black was Secretary of State under Buchanan and was the ablest man in the Cabinet. He was a member of the Christian Church or Disciples, wo believe. He died in much peace. "The great mountain must crumble; The strong beam must break; And the wise man wither away like a plant." Wil. Slur. How a Farmer was Bamboozled. Esquire Blackwelder, from Harris burg, Cabarrus county, was in to pay up his subscription yesterday and as he folded up the receipt and put it in his pocketbook, our agricultural editor en quired of him the state of the crops in his section. "The crops are tollable fair," said Mr. Blackwelder, "corn and cotton are doing finely and I expected to bring in a load, of fine watermillens this morning, but blast my eyes, if a lot of boys didn't play the biggest fool trick on me you ever heard of," and seeing that wo were all attention he continued with his narrative. "I've got a line patch near my house and as there was some powerful tine inillens in it that I wanted to save up aud bring to town, wife and I continually staid in the patch, one relieving the other every two hours or so. Well sir. a crowd of boys waited them milieus and couldn't get at them because we were always in the patch, but they set their heads to gether and what 3ou recon they did. While I was iu the patch two of them went down in my corn field and com menced ringing a cow bell, and I of course, thinking a cow was-in the corn went dawn to drive her out, and while I was hunting through the corn for signs of the cow, the balance of the hoys slipped into my patch and stole all my line milieus, That's why Ididn't bring a watermillen wagon to town to-day. Locals are right scarce with you these times, but when them boys try to play I another game on me, you just look out you'll get a first-class item." Jouvnal Ob.yerver.

Galveston. Aug. 21. Special dis patches to the Galveston AVrs from a large number of points throughout the State show that except in a few locali ties further rain could be productive of no marked benefit to the cotton crop. In a majority of the cases it would re sult in injury. The extensive drought which has been the most important fac tor in injury to the crops has been re lieved in some, localities by rains, but as a general thing it was too late to do much good. It is plain that there will be a considerable decrease from last year's yield. The grain crops, however, have been successful in the full sense of the word. Nasheville, Tenn., August 21.

One-third of the city is laid waste. We need immediate help. Signed, S. W. Whitten, mavor." In a short time $5,000 was raised and sent to the aid of the sufferers. Telegrams were sent to all cities in the State calling for aid. Chicago, III., August 23. Mr. E. A. Peck,. who passed through the ruined city of Rochester, Minn., and has just arrived here, gives a succinct account of the disaster, as follows: It was 7 o'clock, Tuesday evening, when Mr- E. A. Peck reached Rochester. He states that the northern portion of the place, from the Chicago & Northwestern rail road track, was a confused mass of de bris; scarcely a house was standing, and a few which were had been re moved from their foundations and shat tered as if by an earthquake. The affrighted survivors were at work res cuing the injured and recovering the bodies of the dead Before mid night twenty-three corpse lay in a hotel to which Vhey had been removed. Forty wounded persons, many of them seriously injured, had been removed to the undestroyed dwellings. It was thought that at least twenty bodies re mained in the ruins. The storm appeared to have formed about eighteen miles northwest of Rochester and gath ered violence as it progressed. The scene in the devastated district and the place where the dead lay was iudescrib ably sad. Mothers wildly searched for (heir children, while little homeless waifs were found whom the tempest had orphaned. One child was the only survivor of a family of seven. Shortly before the train arrived at Rochester the freight train was wrecked on the trestle at the western approach of the place. The wind had twisted the switch bar from its place, throwing open the switch. The engineer saw his peril when close at hand and jumped, saving his life. The fireman was car ried over the embaLkment with the en gine and killed. The fatal black cloud swept toward St. Charles, five miles southeast of Rochester, cutting a wide swath through the timber and farms, wrecking buildings in a little hamlet and leaving two corpses ami three per sona fatally maimed. The body of one of the meu killed was found in a tree tOD. lie had been torn limb from limb by the mere force of the wind while be ing drawn up and carried along by the terrible funnel.

Whether 'tis so or not, we'd like to en joy, at least for a few momenta, a little of his cool, refreshing braeies; for, be lieve us, it's as hot aa a ban laying up nere. Five years ago Snow Hill looked al most like the "Deserted Village;" her streets were neglected; her bridges de caying; her houses dilapidated; her citl zens mainly without energy;' but now, like a maiden budding into woman hood, she is aglow with life, thrift and growth. - If that other country "from whenoe no traveler returns" can stir up a bigger anthracitic fire than old Sol is dispens ing and condensing around these "dig gins, " those of us who are without the pale had better get Jules Verne to con struct us a special nautilus to Dlow for ever through the hidden myateriee of the unknown and unexplored deep. Snow Hill spurns the idea ot extending her boundary lines through home or foreign emigration; she is determined to rely upon her own fertile resources six babies in one night, end not a bad night for babies either. We went down, early to view the sur roundings, but though earjy, the town was there en ma&se. "And bright the sun shone o'er fair women and brave men." Just on the brink, of the river, with her bow in the water, ahe . lay careened, waiting as it were, for the grand plunge. Capt. Webb Was busy as a bee in summer, flitting from place to place, fixing rollers, adjusting props, and issuing orders. Finally, everything being made ready, Capt. Webb.fn a clear, ringing voice, gave the command: All hands bear ahead," and like a dck lighting with a splash on the placid waters of some beautiful lake, the steamer "Swam uplifted, and secure with beaked prow . Rode tilting o'er the waves." As soon as she took her path, the crowd gathered upon her decks, and Miss Carrie, the eldest and lovely little daughter of our highly esteemed towns man, Haywood Dail, pushed ber way through the elated throng, and, after the time-honored custom, broke a bottle of champagne over her prow, christen ing her the "Carolina." Then three cheers were heartily and lustily given, and the crowd seemed aa happy as the old man did for the prodigal's return. for it was "mete that they should make merry and be glad.

She wanders to New Berne's land. But "not alone; her beauteous shade Attends her noiselss war; As some sweet memory, undeoayed. Clincn to the heurt for am. And haunts it, wheresoe'ei we go, - Through every scene of ioy and woe. And not alone; for day and nigbt Escort her o er the deep;. ' And round her solitary flight The stars their vigils keep. Above, below, are circuling skies. And heaven around her pathway lies." She is a grand little boat, built here by Capt. Webh, for the Farmers' and Mechanics' Hteamboat Company, and reflects credit upon the good taste and sense of the Captain. She will be com manded by him. She goes to New Berne to have her boiler and fixtures put in and adjusted. Tell Bill Gaion, ban gar con, to go down and look at her, and to come to Snow Hill when she returns. Maysville Items.

Dr. F. W. P. Butler, a son of Senator M. C. Butler, of South Carolina, while out horseback riding with a young lady friend at Lancaster Court House, vesterdav. met with a distressing acci dent which may result, it is feared, in his death. The horse he was riding be came unmanageable and ran away with him. He -was thrown oil and as he struck the ground, the horse fell on him, crushing him badly and causing concussion of the brain. He was in an insensible condition yesterday after noon and the doctors had but little, if any, hopes for his recovery. Dr. Butler lias been living at Fort Lawn, S.

A public Bririted gentleman of Col umbuH county, a few weeks sinre. in view of the approaching Fair, offered (Vjite a liberal reward for tho capture, alive, of an alligator, Htipulating that it tthouhl be at least twelve feet long. The object of the capture wan to bring it to the city to exhibit it at the Fair as a curiosity which a great many visitors from the interior of the State had never seen. In answer to the offer of the re ward one of the citizens of that county, a few days siuce brought an alligator, which waH only about three feet in length, and claimed the reward. He was quickly told that no euch inferior looking saurian as that would answer the purpose, when he replied, "Well, it's to be n fruit fair and 1 thought I'd show "em what sort of a crop we could raise even if it wasn't quite ripe."
