In order that I may not be misinterpreted I have placed in writing the material xirtions of what I desire to say, which shall be very brief.

Saieh no man of even the .-lightest sense of honor coiihl re spect a Southern man w ho would thus debase himself. Surely the most tlaprant and rampant traf ficker in the issues ol sectional hatred would prefer an adversary who walked uptight on his toot to tin1 one who crawled upon his belly. 1 I i not, what must be t bought of h is " " '"ihoo.l ! Now, sirs, be it known to you, that those of us who pledged our faith to each other for the establish ment of the confederacy ave up all for which we contended when it failed, retaining to ourselves only one solitary satisfying reflection, and that was that we had at least served our country faithfully, hon estlv, and devotedlv, as we under stand it. ; This satisfaction General Sher- j man's statement would to some ex-1 tent take from me, and this it is. sir, which 1 resent. It is (veil known that I was drawn into secession un willingly: it is also well known that in regard to many of the details of administration I was at variance with the authorities of the confed-1 erate government; but it is equally j well known. I hope, that, after my own honor was engaged and the ! houor of juy native State, there j never was an hour during all that i uribappv time in which 1 did not does me a kiniiness ana commends me to the people of the country by holding out tlio idea that I was dis affected while Governor toward the cause for which I was ostensibly fighting, and that I was anxious, to separate myself and State from the confederacy, but was restrained by fear.

General , Graham and Surgeon General ar- , ren, told him that I wanted to make , separate terms tor the State, but j was afraid of "Jeff Davis." I do, not iH'iieve it. it cannot uo true. The two gentlemen first named are dead; they were eminent North Carolinians, of most exalted charac ter la all resjiects, and most espeo ially for truth. They kneic I was faithful to the confederacy: they kwtr that I was not afraid of oppos j ing Mr. Davis when I differed from n in North Carol.ua. The other commissioner. 1; Pd ward Warren, was surgeon-geiiei al of the State of North Carolina, is now living, and is an eminent pin siciau in Pai ;s.

Jan. 20, ISSo. At the Capitol on Saturday, the London explosion formed the chief topic of comment. When the n,ews first reached the House of Repre sentatives, members were disposed to doubt its authenticity. When it was confirmed they eagerly sought information, and agreed that the matter should have such attention and action as its serious ness deserved. The Irish Journal istic Representative from Chicago, Mr. Finnerty, said, when the an nouncement was made to hiin: "Of course it will be laid fo the Irish, but there may be Nihilists in Lon don as well as in Russia." A timid member said: "What if an attempt be made to blow up the Ilonse of Representatives, where would we be.'" Senators received the news while in secret session and were also incredulous at first. Senator lalmunds immediately introduced a bill to prevent and punish dyna mite conspiracies in the United States. The ellect of this will be to turn aside the bitterness of feel ing against America, engendered by the explosion. J tilling the week boih Houses of Congress gave some time to memo rial eulogies upon deceased asso ciates, and both discussed the In dian qtie.stiou, sprung by the Oklo homa lands invasion. The Senate wasted time again on the Inter State Commerce bill, without being interesting even to itself, and con tinued its talk about the Nicaraguan ; treaty within barred doors. The: House passed some appropriations1 and fifty private pension bills. ; Congressman Hind, of Ohio, I made a notable speech against the! lalucationa! bill. He argued that! a bill appropriating money was a ; bill for raising revenue. That as ;he measure originated in the Sen ate, that branch of Congress which has no authority to originate money bills, a privilege of the House had been violated. Therefore the bill was unconstitutional. A less our-; ageous legislator would not have; identified the abstract principle of: the rights of the 1 louse with the fortunes of a pending bill in which ; so many members are dearly inter ested. Instead of disassociating' the principle of Senate aggression from any particular measure, he selected a very important bill as the text for his attack. Mr. Willis thought a I.'--.-; worthy bill might have I. ecu chosen than the one he h.,s li, -,-n advocating so long.

They returned to Aurora on Tuesday, accompanied by Mrs. Lukens and Mr. C. H. Wood, the photographer. The attraction in Aurora for him has not yet lost its magnetism. Holly Hill Items. The farmers seem to be very busy pre paring for their crops. January bids fair to close out with a smile, and many symptoms of spring. Some one made the remark that we had no use for roosters near the mill, for C. P. Fulcher was sure to blow the whistle before they waked. Married, near this plase, on Sunday, the 25th of January, Mr. Cason Price to Miss Puss Fulcher, Rev. R. Gaskins of ficiating. May pleasure and happiness attend them forever. Mr. D. P. Gee, of Pamlico-ooutity, and Miss Mollie Rowe, of Beaufort county, were united in marriage at the bride's father, on Thursday, January 22nd. Many entertainments were enjoyed. T. B. Tunstall has opened a school at Holly Hill, in a healthy and moral neighborhood. The schoolroom iB very comfortable. Board can be obtained in good families at rock-bottom prices. He cordially asks the patronage of the community. B. Fulcher seems to have taken a great interest in the raising of poultry. He has near a hundred and forty hens, and they are said to be good layers. When he picks up the egi in the eve ning he looks like a man ready for market. Socialists in High Feather. CniCAQO, Jan. 25. A meeting of So cialists was held this afternoon at 54 West Lake street, at which those who spoke advocated the free use of dyna mite and the indiscriminate taking of human life. A negro woman, wife of the rabid white Socialist, A. R. Parsons, presided. C. S. Grifiin, the first speaker, in reply to tho argument that the use ot dyna mite had led to the sacrifice of the inno cent in London, said it was necessary for the innocent to suffer in order to accomplish good results. It had been arranged to have the explosion occur in the House of Lords first, in order that tho crowd of innocent people in the House of Commons might have time to escape. The result was that two po licemen, officers of the Government, wre about the only ones injured. This explosion had demonstrated that Social ists could safely go into large congrega tions in broad daylight and explode their bombs. It meant that the poor people were taking an equal share in the affairs of the world. When the op position should realize this fact the old idea of equality would prevail. The dynamite explosion in London meant death unless the world were set free. A little hog's grease and a little nitric acid made a terrible explosive. Ten cents' worth would blow a building to atoms. This statement was received with great applause. J. I'. Dusey said that dynamite could 1 be made out of the dead bodies of cap italists as well as out of hogs. All Chi- 1 eaKO could be set ablaze in a minute by electricity. What was the use of the ' fools in Washington saying they were the masters? O. A. Bishop said there were 5, OIK) men in Chicago who knew how to man I ulacture dynamite in their kitchens for : the price of a good dinner. Private , property must be abolished, if they had to use all the dynamite there was and blow ninety-nine hundredths of the pec- ' pie off the face of ihe earth. ! Mrs. Parsons said she had often want-1 ed to be a man, but since she had heard , that t was a wom:m who hail b own un ' . 1. . l)..f.., 1 ; 1 . 1 ; , ; v, T .ts ,1,. uwl I U 1 Ct 1 JtilJli'IlL UllllUlilt; lit Ijouuwii niib . would nut swap places with any man in , the country. A. R. Parsons delivered a lung and rambling address in which he advocated the use of dynamite in unlimited quan- 1 tities. An Old Theory Overthrown. The lung existing theory that fire can not be communicated by heat from steam pipes is unfortunately not correct. On yesterday, at the Insane Asylum, I was notified that one of tho ward dry-, ing rooms was on lire. These drying rooms are supplied with steam iron coiling only. Combustion was produced by the contact of some bedding with the cells. I publish this as a warning, and a novelty in mechanics. Eugene Gkissom. Insane Asylum. Jan. ltfth. Melville Mauls to iro Norlli. I'nn.ADK.i.rniA, Jan. L'7. Chief Mutineer Melville issued to day an address to the American public wherein he expresses his belief t hat the time is now ripe for the making of a successful vovage to the north pole. The route he advocates is by way of I ran .Josef Laud, and he declares it in be an entirely safe and feasible one. It would be, he ihink's. an actual saving of life to make the attempt now beloiethe knowledge born of experience ex piles, and lie iiusts there is some man lit America v. ho will use to the occasion, and, from his abun dance, supply the palt r. sum 1 e.Ui s,;e .. !;! all Aleiie expedition."
