C , Dec. 25th, and pub lished in the New York World and Washington Post, contains this statement: "There are many poo farmers in the eastern counties who have large families to support and it is said they have sold most of their household effects to buy bread and meat and that now starvation stares. them in the face. Indeed, in many instances people are. compelled to 'go lrom three to six days without any sort of food whatever. Negro farm laborers are leaving as fast as they can get away. The farmers do not try to hold them, saying they have no in ducements to offer." The crops in Eastern North Carolina are very short, and considerable hardship is experienced, but there is no such condition of affairs as is here represented. Jefferson Davis spent the last year of his life in literary work. He wrote an article on Anderson ville for the North American Re view, exonerating tbe Confederate 'Government from the charge of Wanton cruelty toward Federal prisoners. On tbe publication of his reply to Lord Wolseley in the North American (which, Mr. Davis charged, was mutilated by tbe American editor in the interest of the English Government), Mr. Davis refused to .permit the North American to publish his article on Andersonville unless the editor should agree to publish it unmuti lated. The editor refused to give that pledge. Mr. Davis thereupon ithdrew his article and trans ferred it to Belford's Magazine. It will appear in the January number. In the same issue Belford's will publish a brief antobiograpby of Mr. Davis, written a short time ago. A few weeks before his death Mr. Davis completed for the Bel ford Company "A Short History of the Confederate States." It will be iseued at an early date. On last Monday night the 2G9th anniversary of the landing of the Pilgrims was celebrated in the city of New York, when Chauncev M. Depew, in responding to tlie toast "Unsolved Problems," said : "The telegraph brings us this eveniDg the announcement of the death of Henry W. Grady. We forget all differences of opinion, and remem ber only his chivalry, patriotism" and genius. He was the leader of the New South, and died in the great work of impressing its marvelons growth and national aspirations upon the willing ears of the North. Upon this platlorm and before this audience two years ago he commanded tbe attention of tbe country and won universal fame. His death in tbe meridian of his powers and the hopefulness of his mission, at the critical period of tbe removal forever of all mis understandings and differences between all sections of the Re public, is a national calamity. New York mingles her tears with those ot his kindred, and offers to bis memory the tribute of her pro foundest admiration for bis talents and achievements." "What a Saviour !" How won derfully constituted ! He was God, as it was necessary he should be; and yet not merely God, but man, ! teo. A Saviour with two natures: one reaching up to God, the other down to us. How wonderful that he should not only have taken onr nature, but come down to our con dition, and surrounded himself with our circumstances become subject to such temptations as we are subject to. O "what a Saviour!'' Why, he knows from experience what pain is; He has had the trials I have; He has been through this vale of tearB: He knows how I am tried, He remembers how He was tried. He wept over the very city and -people whose soil and hands are about to be stained with His blood. I wonder I love Him so little; I wonder He is not more precious to me; I wonder any should be offender in Him. How can He appear a root out of a dry ground T Why don't all see His form and comeliness f Dr. Nevins. 1IEXRY Tf. WRADT. Henry Grady is dead ! Those ol US who -knew him best and had revelations of him of which the world knows nothing, mast repress our personal sorrow and join in the : lamentations of a stricken coontrv, Athens, Georgia, was the place of bis birth, and Atlanta was his home at the time of his death, but "he is freedom's now and fame's, one of the few immortal names that were not born to die." Wo have seen a full blown rose blessing all eyes with its beauty, but it was more beautiful when a rose bud unfolding its leaves in the glad sunshine and filling tbe air with its fragrance. So it was with Grady. A nation saw his matured greatness, when all the treasures of intellect and genius made him a crown-prince in the empire of mind, but there is a more blessed memory to those who walked with him in the morning and in the eveniDg were his honored guests in the banqueting chamber of love. But let that pass, for there is a desolate home iu Atlanta. Grady is not there to bid us welcome, and i an angel sits by a broken altar witn snow wnue wings toideil over a broken heart. Of Mr. Grady's public career nothing can be said to enlighten our readers. He sacrificed his life to his country, and embalmed in a nation's tears he is at rest. Tbe Washington Post says : "Three years ago last night, at the dinner of the New England Society in New York, Henry W. Grady, of Georgia, de livered an address on 'Tbe New South' that brought him at once into national prominence. "It was an eloquent plea for a better understanding between sec tions of the Union not yet alto. gether iree of the prejudices born of long estrangement or of the resentments surviving a great civil strife. It was a vivid portraiture of conditions at the South with which her brothers of tbe North had not become entirely familiar an argument no less strong than magnanimous for final reconcilia tion, based upon terms alike hon orable and beneficent to both. "He took for his text upon that occasion the words of Benjamin H. Hill: 'There was a South of seces sion and slavery that South is dead. There is a South of union and freedom that South is living, breathing, growing every hiur.' They furnished him a honorable and gracious inspiration. "Less than two weeks ago, at the annual dinner of the Mer chants' Association of Boston, Mr. Grady spoke again upon tbe New South, or more particularly that phase of the situation presented byl the race question. It was a force fa 1 and impressive speech. "Today the orator's voice is dumb. The film of death rests upon the prophetic vision that saw only images of glory and greatness, of brotherhood and beauty, in the future of his country. In tbe midst of his promise and power he is laid to rest with his life-work ap parently but hair begnn. It is a great misfortune to his State and to his immediate people. In r,o smail sente is it a national loss. But the inCuences set in motion by the fervor of his patriotism, by the sincerity of his fraternal purpose, by his hopeful, generous, all em bracing spirit, beyond the reach of UDpropitious fate shall bear, we trust, the fruit of a 'more perfect union.' " A LIFE OK JEFFERSON DAVIS, i We bave before ns a book of 2HC os! ! pages, edited by A. C. B.incrolt and published by J. S. Ogilvie, 57 Rose street, New York, purporting to be tbe life of Jefferson Davis, "containing a complete history of his eventful life and death, funeral services, comments of the Dress North and South," etc. We warn our people against this book. The first 33 pages are de voted to the life of Mr. Davis and the remaiuing 223 are taken up with the account of his death, memorial exercises and opinions of the press. Any book that assumes to give a "csmplete history of Jefferson Davis" in 83 small pages is of necessity a failure. This book is worse than a failure. Its ani mus is shown in the follwing ex tracts from the 7th page: "Mr. Davis was a Democrat in politics and an extreme and ardent dis ciple of that doctrine of States' Rights which brought the war of tbe rebellion upon the country." Again : "Among the other Missis sippi members of Congress at that time was Jacob Thompson, wht se career afterward as Secretary of tbe Interior nnder Buchanan and as an agent in Canada of the Con federate Government, made his name infamous." j Give Mr. Bancroft's life of Jef- j ferson Davis "a wide berth." It is unworthy of a place in any I Southern home. Much that it says j is trne, and it reproduces many j complimentary allusions to Mr. ; Davis, but "the poison of asps ia under its tongue. In due time a history of Davis j and his times will be published, that will be just to truth j and the people devoted to truth, j and it becomes us to patiently wait j lor its coming. ; A CHILD KILLED.

As is well known our sister city miogtonnow possesses in its of Wil vicinity I eome verv attractive Bummer resorts, that are lirgclr patronized by tbe dwellers of tha Cape Fear region, but who for novelty would gladly exchange for a titnu at ldasc. tbe home attractions for thode which Morehead possesses; the visitors to tho latter place governed by the same iofluenoea and desires would reciprocate if tlie. interchange could be made quickly uud cheaply, and the j proposed new road will afford just that opportunity: hence it follows, that a ball, or any unusual event occurring at ! either place would attract the patrons of the other, and the trip being made in four or five hours the opportunity will be gladly and frequently availed of and as a result, where the A. & N. C. Railroad has now one passenger over its entire length it would have twenty between Morehead and New Berne. This is so probable that it needs but to be suggested to be believed. So it is that, the fact being admitted that New Berne and its public institu tions being in sore need of something to revivify end bring them up com-' mercially, is almost in self defence obliged to turn to this new road as a means of accomplishing this desired result. Can we not then for at least one time Lin our history come together and unite upon a measure that promisee so much good and is the only thing in eight that is calculated to help us. It is an unde niable face that railroads properly managed are the life and vitality of a country, and the section that is with out them is sure to be behind in the race fcr progress. Shall we come out of our Rip Van Winkle lethargy and range abreast with the times ? Z. No. 13. It is human nature to be selfish. We are all so in a greater or less de gree, and as a result we are apt to be "for" of tagainst" a thing in the pro portion it bears to our interests. This is as true of the railroad ques tion now pending, as of other things, and it ia bat natural that in proportion to one's ability to determine the per sonal gain to be derived, so is the measure of that one's approval, ;or con versely, disapproval. There are some things so manifestly good, so inherently commendable, they are their own best appeal to our selfish iftss, and among them is the proposed New Berne and Onslow Railroad.' Tbe construction and operation of this line appeals directly to tbe interests of every class and element in our com munity: to tbe laboring man it offers prospects of remunerative employment; to the merchant, increased business; to the property owner, enhanced values of real estate; to the hotel and livery men, the advent of a larger number of visitor' iP'i consequent increase of patronage; to the mechanic and artificer of every kind, additional opportunities for their handicraft; for the non-pro-feesional youDg men, openings for sta tion agencies, clerkships, conductors, and similar places: and in the general prosperity, as a natural Ftquence, the professional men will share. With the omintt of this road, as we have already pointed out. will also j come, mora direct, frquent and rapid j connection with the North, and who can calculate tbe immense benefit and advantage that wilt be, to the constant ly growing and already most important industry we. have trucking. How important a quick dai'y line from the North would be to our mer chants? And what a Btride it would be to have by this route an additional dsily mail with New York papers here the morning, instead of tbe evening, after their publication ; with direct and close communication with our neighbors of the northeastern counties and Nor folk. All this and more would result from the accomplishment of this much desired project It would indeed be difficult to select any interest, trade, profession or indi vidual, whom the new and changed condition would not affect beneficially, and the only one of whom we oan now think whose occupation would be lost, is the growler and grumbler! Being practical, we do not expect Utopia, but we honpstly believe that improvement would be so marked in a little while that every one of us would distinctly and personally feel benefited, and tbe old town would take a long step toward that commercial and busi ness prosperity that the future has, we feel assured, in store for her. This being so, let it be remembered that today offers the last opportunity you will have to place yourself in posi tion to help bring about the desired result, by either seeing that your name is on tbe registration bookB, and if not, of putting it there. Let every lover of the old town deter mine to put his shoulder to the wheel, and by advice, counsel and persuation itfduce those who honestly differ with him as to the merits of this question, to see it as we do, and thus insure a prac tically unanimous vote for ihe propo sition. 2. No. 14. In ante-bellum times, befoie the com ing of any railroad, New Berne was the great amusement center for a raiius of more than fifty miles. The glorious circus heralded them as now, by the attractive and deceptive poster, in formed all tho oountry about that it would exhibit here at a certain time. On these muioratile and never-to-be-fnro-otten occasions, every class and : charmcter of vehicle was put into requi flnMhnrn nn tho wast tMn. and from Goldsboro on the west Beaufort harbor on the east, from the ' Pamlico riTer on the north to New riyer on the south, all the roads lead- , ing thererom and centering; at New j Barne were thronged with eager people coming to the circus: and'wbat a day for New Berne ! the metropolis of a fertile country, it gloried in the fact that it was the oentral poinato which a large constituency gravitated for this pleasure. How different is all this tod ay . I f an entertainment of su perior character enters the State keeps con tinuously on, stopping at some leading town upon tbe direct line of travel, ! Goldsboro for instance, like the veriest I provincials the people of New Berne by j the courtesy of special trains placed at the disposal by the A. & N. C. R. R., ; travel 150 miles tototoths ihnn. thit would not come to them, because they live in a remote ani out of the way i place. There are few things that speak so eloquently and forcibly of one meagre and limited connection with the world of travel, it is almost humiliating, the admission of playing the role of Core creek to Qoldsboro's attitude of city dignity ; of being the country cousin ; who goes to town to the show, and yet there are men who subject themselves and wives to this annoyance, who are found today opposing the proposition to subscribe to the capital stock of the New Berne and Onslow Railroad, whose construction would put us on the line of continuous travel and ev ible us m point of location to offer the ssme in ducements for entertainments of merit to appear here as are offered by the other cities of the State and thereby enable all our people to witness or bear the men and women histrionically famous. Social pride, one wottld sup pose, would be sufficient to disarm op position to the measure we advocate, and when combined with it, is the greatest and highest interest, if they will but see it, objection most fall to the ground. L?t us resume our old-time position of being the amusement center for our large contributory territory, and with renewed prestige bold up our heads as being the place that one goes fo, in stead of from to witness a first class and meritorious entertainment. To do this let us vote to subscribe to the capital stock of the new railroad, place New Berne on the line of north and south travel and the thing is accom plished. Z. THE VOICE OF OS SLOW. In the Namk of God, Amen. Editob Jorj nal : We, the farmers and people of -Onslow county, being of sound mind and body, and possessed and surrounded with untold wealth, in that we have a climate unsurpassed, where man has and is now advanced to the highest state of civilization, having furnished our State with one Governor and tbe home of a number of talented ladies and gentlemen where Christian virtues abound and tha latch string of the rich and the poor alike hangs on tha outside to admit the weary and care worn traveller and though shut in from the outside world we have endeavored tojcultivate all the virtues that enobles man, that, when the door should be opened it would be plainly seen that our light had not been hid under a bushel but placed on the hill-top to guide our hand to meet whose : O, New Berne, give us your hand ! With a soil from a stiff clay to a sandy loam, that will produce, corn, cotton, peanuts, in fact all tbe crop that are made in oar Sunny South, the farmer finds on his farm soil adapted to every variety of crops. With railroad facilities every kind of produce will be increased more than one hundred par cent ; a considerable amount of naval stores is now made this industry will greatly increase. A large portion of our country is now the same forest that the Indian onoe roamed through. This is wealth in deed ; the world wants timber ; man must have a home to rest his weary head ; a groat msny industries require wood and we have many varieties : Pine, Cypress, Ash, Oak, Hickory, Juniper, and many others. The'forest is stocked with game. The sportsman from a distance would im magine he had found a territory where the sound of the horn, hounds and gun had never been heard. Every variety of wild duck will be found on the rivers. Fish are plentiful, and who has not heard of the New River Oyster ? There is none so good. And the White Oak River Oyster is fast ooming to the front. All this wealth, and much more, yes, all that in any way may be appertain ing, will we bequeath unto you, New Berne. Tbe vast resources that we have, which will be developed when you give us railroad facilities will we empty into your -lap. Will you have the sift, or will you compel us to seek I a market elsewhere that we ao not love? Never 1 Never! We have already voted to take stock in your railroad to the amount of thirty thou sand dollars. Will you throw this away ? You cannot afford to do it. You must go forward or backward. You cannot stand still. Let your watchword be "Forward, marohl" Meet your enemy face to face, give the order, charge, and you will route him. horse, foot and dragoons. Let your vote be unanimous for Subscription and Onslow will grasp your hand so hard that tears will come in your eyes as we say, "Here is our gift ; take it." And why this, from our earliest times we have plodded our weary way on dirt roads to find a market in your town. We love the old town, we know your bankers, merchants, mechanics, hotel keepers, and all. The oasis in the sandy desert of the life of the writer was New Berne. Will you let it remain the oasis for un I i all. or will you, by voting against sub acriDtion. virtually say to us.

Editor Joubnal Little more than half a century ago New Berne stood at the very head of trade enterprise and commercial activity In North Carolina;! in progress and prosperity she led the column. Today she is the very tail of the pro cession. Well, hardly the tail, for that does keep up, in a manner; but New Berne is away behind, a long way in the rear. Look at Asheville, away a ross the mountains; at Hickory, Charlotte, States vi lie. Concord, Monroe, Salisbury, High Point, Winston, (ireensboro, Reideville, Fayetteville, Durham. Ral eigh, Henderson, Tarboro, Wilson, Ooldsboro. Wilmington, Washington and Elizabeth City. All these, some of them unknown and unnamed when New Berne was old, have outstripped her in tbe race and left her far out of sight. And .these are not all. There are two dozen more towns in the State, of more progress and business volume than New Berne has today, the mention of which ought to make every New Bernean ashamed of tbe sloth of his city. The contrast is due entirely to inac tivity, to Ustlessness and dry rot The term Elm City is now no more signifi cant of life and enterprise than that of Cedar Grove, and has not for a long time been. Twenty Chinese walls, on top of each other, could not have more effectually shut off New Berne from participation in the progress oonmon to other por tions of the State, than the indolence and edict of tbe Old Fogy has done.
