The hand 0 nanj combat may not be raging ua jta fary, bat the watch fires of liberty never go oat, and around them the trae and the brave are gathered ready for battle'. At this moment great interests are at stake, and it is a matter of congratulation that the Democracy is standing in solid phalanx by the ark of the Constitution. . 2fever was our system of govern ment more severely tested than it is now. No hostile cannon breaks upon tho startled ear, but' the miners and sappers are at work at the foundations of our citadel. The race issue is a grave one, but it dwindles into insignificance beside the stupendous question : Shall the American system of Govern ment be preserved! Rome, in the days of its power, never exhibited such a spectacle as is now presented at Washington Ca?3ar had his legions and his Anthony, and still was not master of the Horn an Senate. Heed roles in the capitol at Washington ac cording to his imperial will. The Representatives of the people, elected bv a free ballot and a fair count, are ejected from their seats, or stand like chained slaves in a cap'tal of a free people. Propo sitions are entertained for the sub version of State laws and the es tablishment of Federal courts un known to the Constitution. But yesterday a bill was introduced in the Senate to organize a Republi can government for the State of Mississippi. In such a condition oi atlairs the Democracy must stand by its colors or abandon the Republic to misrule and ruin No paper, no man, c.n receive a higher compliment than to be told that he is loyal to the Democratic party. All that is venerable in the past, all that is valuable in the present, and all that is hopeful in the future, rests on the purity, strength and perpetuity of Ameri can Democracy. CHEERFULNESS. Be cheerful! Bat we are told that "Cherfalness is dependent upon circumstances over which we have no control, anu, saying to us, 'te cheerfnl,' is very mnch like saying to the hnngrey and naked 'be ye clothed and fed,' without furnishing the where with-all it can u"- Cheerfulness h a quality that . V , . . ... ........rt.l r i a no T1 HUM 1 ' the subject of growth as are trees land flowers. The eerm mav be very delicate, but with proper cul ture it will bloom in inmorral beaut v. Place a child under pleasant cir cumstances, with objects all around him permeated with the spirit of cheerfulness, and there is little danger 4f his becoming morose, g roomy and complaining. Light is a great dispenser of cheerfulness. Rise with the first dawn of the morning, throw open the shatters and let in the light robed in beauty and the soft south wind frighted with music and fra grance Go out in the glad son shine and look upon the rippling waters, the green landscape glitter ing with meriads of dew-drops, and the meadows gay in flowers and musical with birds. If it please you better, go to the field an see the smile oi God resting in the fruit of your labor, or to the dock, and find the breeze unfurling the sails of your craft to the winds of a prosperous commerce. How many parents think of the evils of darkness on their children? No child can cultivate a cheerful spirit in the midst .of darkness and gloom. If children are to be chil dren of light, they' mast walk in the light, and they will reflect it in their glad faces and it will come leaping up as living fd an tain s in their hearts. No man or woman has a right to be a growler. A cronic growler is worse than a contagion, more in tolerable than a night-mare. Many a heart has its secret greifs, and in the presence of hallowed sorrow we bow in profound reverence. It is not of these we speak bat we refer to those who in aKallidoscopeeees only the dark spots, in a panorama only the weeds that fleck the brooder expanse of golden grain and ripened fruit. We should cultivate the habit of seeing the best and talking bright ly and cheerily. Those who do thus are loved and sought. There is no mere earthly blessing to be compared to a sunny disposition, rejoicing in the present and looking hopefully to the future. Mr. Calhoun was always cheerful in company. If some great burden of State, or some personal greif, bowed him down, he retired and communed with his own soul. A distingueshed statesmen now gath ered to his fathers said of him: Calhoun's kindness ot heart was inexbanstible. He impressed me as being deeply but unobtrusively religioas, and was so morally clean and spiritually pure that it was a pleasure to have one's soul get close to his soul a feeling that I never bad for any other man. He seemed to exhale an atmosphere of purity, as fresh and sweet and bracing as a breeze from the prairie, the ocean, or the mountain an atmosphere which one could safely breathe all in and be better and purer from the inspiration. He was inexpressibly urbane, refined, gentle, winning; and yet he was strong and thoroughly manly, with an elegant and engaging invincible nesa pervading his softness and gentleness- I admired Benton; I admired Clay Still more; I admired Webster, on the intellectual side, most of all; but I loved Calhoun, and as I came to know him well, and saw his exquisitely beautiful nature mirrored in his face, his countenance seemed angelic, and his benignant greeting in the morn ing was like a benediction that lasted the whole day In Edgefield, S. C, Friday, Benj. Gardner cowhided J. Norris for not fulfilling his engagement with his sister. A challenge to fight a duel to the death was sent by Norris and accepted by Gard ner, both were arrested and placed under bond to keep the peace. It was believed Saturday that the bonds would be forfeited and the duel take place at an early day. Col. Fked. D. Geant is very popular as Minister to Austria. Dr. Hugh Hagan, of Atlanta, Ga., now in Vienna, writing to the New York Tribune says: Colonel Grant and his charming wife are the heart's love of every American in Vienna." "Me. Ceisp's crisp sentences in the House last week bid fair to blaze his way to the United States Senate. The Georgia papers are naming him as a successor to Sena tor Brown." Mr. Crisp is apnreci ated in Georgia, but the signs all point to Gov. John B. Gordon as the successor of Senator Brown. Jake Kixeatn has been in the ring again. This time he was vic tor over Felix Vacqnelin last San day morning in the city of New Orleans. He polished off the Frenchman in three rounds. Sknatoe A. H. Colquitt, of Georgia spoke for Temperance in New York city last Sunday. Io the course of his remarks he said: "There would be no talk of solving the race problem if the rum shops were closed. The New York Chamber of Com merce will discuss on Thursday of this week the customs administra tive bill that recently passed the House. It is probable that they will condemn the measure and adopt measures to defeat it. The 24 of February is coming j and the people are coming in multi tudes by sea and by land. 1 Till: NAHOS.-U, EMBR01 10. I The condition of affairs in the ! National rior.so of Kepi senatives 'it disgraceful. Congress has be(n in session for nioie than two months, and has absolutely done nothing for the public weal. Bu;-iLiesK is depressed in every department of industry, and working meu in every locality feel oppres iun as a moun tain weight crushing out their energies unl wasting their sun "Stance. Why N this? Every Con gress is governed by its own rules. It is usual, on the meeting of Con gre6s, to pass a resolution declaring the rules of the last Congiess in force until the adoption of rules by the sitting Congress, but no such action has been taken, and the present! disgraceful condition of affairs in the result. The Speaker is the supreme dictator and ac knowledges no rule but his own despotic will. In the language of the Washington l'osr, ''It is the duty, as it should be the pleasure, i ' of all right minded members on both sides of the chamber to end this partisan and unprofitable con tention at once, by insisting upou a report from the committee on rules, and proceeding to the work before them like men with a .patri otic sense ol their obligations.'' Uow long the Republican ma jority will continue their revolu tionary measures cannot be con jectured, but it is probable I hat they will iu!e with an iron hand until they have consummated their purpose of seating contesting Re publicans in defiance of every prin ciple of justice and right. That the people will sanction such usnroatlou we do nor believe, aud we look to the future for the com plete condemnation of the Repub lican party and its revolutionary methods. THE CAPTURE OF JEFFERSON DAYIS-TI1E END OF THE RE BELLION. The Century Magazine has de cided merit, but punlisbed as it is in the city of New York, and rely ing for its support chiefly on the North, it is favorable to that sec tion on all questions involved in the late war between the States. It is true that its columns have been open to the writers of all sections, and some of the highest tributes to the soldiery of the South have appeared in its pages. The February number of this popular magazine contains two articles of special interest to the people of the South. One of these is on "The Capture of Jefferson Davis The End of the Rebellion," by John G. Nicolay and John Hay, private secretaries of the President, and the other is on the "Pursuit and Capture of Jefferson Davis," by Gen. James Harrison Wilson and William P. Stedman. The first fs a chapter in the life of Abraham Lincoln, which has for many months been in preparation oy nis private secretaries, and is intended to magnify his name. The other is from the Federal Generals, who with all the soldiery of the Federal Government at their comnrand, stimulated by the offer of one hundred thousand dollars in gold, and whatever Confederate treasure might be found amount ing probably to a million of dollars, crown their military renown by the capture of .Mr. and Mrs. Davis, Miss Howell and rwo female ser vants. It is just to Nicolay and ;Hay to say that their account has the semblance of impartiality,inasmuch as they give tho version of Mr, Reagan, Confederate Postmaster General, and copious extracts from the writings ot Mr. Davis and General Johnston: bnt, on the whole, their article is misleading, and places the Confederate chief tain in an attitude incompatible with bis character and inconsistent with the known facts of history. The Federal Generals give long details of the disposition of troops necessary to accomplish the grand event that is to place them among the conquering heroes of the world The movements of divisions, the mustering of squadrons, the vigor ous pursuit, the indomitable re solve, the impetuous charge and the glorious victory are all de scribed. But ths chief object of General Wilson seems to be to establish the fact that President Davis was cap tured in female attire. It ia not pretended that Wibon or Stedman, or Pritchard saw him thus habited. The whole story rests upon the statement of a lieutenant who saw him in the shadow of the pines on "a dark and dismal morning.'' It is not a matter of importance how Mr. Davis was dressed that dark night, when alone he met the flower of the Federal army, and in responseto the order tolisurrender," shouted hack his proud defiance. The country, tho whole country, will not be agreed on this question of dress, but so long as memory lives and honor has a home in the South, the statement of Mr. Davis will be accepted, as consistant with his character for truth, and every quality of a noble and vir tuous manhood. A preacher, lately, expatiating on the nature of man, pointed out that one great point ot distinction between haman beings and thp lower animals consisted in the capacity for progress. "Man," ex claimed the preacher, warming in his theme, "is a progressive crea tore; other beings are stationary. Think, for example, of an ass ! Al ways and everywhere it is the same creature, and you never saw a more perfect ass than you see at the present moment." His con gregation never doubted the truth of the assertion. He who wisely uses his wealth need not have it ior his tombstone. To t lie Disciples of Ihrist in X. (.'. At our State Convention the Committee on Evaugeliziug made, a report which was adopted with--out a dissenting voice, aking eac h and every chinch to give a gi uend average of twenty cents per ntintbei this y ear to have the Gospel preach ed throughout North Carolina. Hie preacher and the oflicers of the chnrch together, are requested to raise one tourth of this amount (the small sum of five cents per number ' during each three months ot tt. year and forward to the Coires ponding Secreeary on or before the tir-t day of January. Apiil. July and October, 1890. ' By reference to the table to church statistics you will find the full amount for the year which your church is asked to give in the column beaded, "D'le for Stale Mi sions." Divide this into four pat r and you have the sum for each three months. The board suggest one ot the following methods ot raising the mouej : From among the most faithful, zealous brethren and sisters m the ngiegauoti, appoitir one or more trt S n .............I ... ,1 iu iiirc nii.-i npri mi vvuik anu secure some amuiiut Irom every one who is able and willing to give tor this good work. Take up four collections on otir reguUr preaching day in December. March, June and September. II y-ftti do not receive an amount as large as you have been asked to give, appeal to the brethren to make up the deficiency. The convention decided that every one who is able to give am thing can give five cents evei three months, and those ot larger meaus can pay much moie than this. The pledges taken by Bro. J. L. Burns aflord an annual income of about $300, but this is not sufficient. Our watchword lor thus year is, "Two thousand dollars for State missions." It will require every dollar of this to carry on the work. May each one who has pledged pay it promptly, and all help, that the Lord's work may not suffer. By order of the Board, U. C. Bowex, Corresponding Secretary. Williamston, N. C. The Congo River oT To-Day. From an article under the above title in the February Century, by one of Stanley's former tlncers, we quote the foliowiDg: "On the Congo there are no beasts of burden, there existing merely a manual transport, the porters being the natives of the Bakongo tribe, in habiting the cataract regions. In physique these men are slight and only poorly developed; but the fact of their carrying on their head from sixty Jo one hundred pounds' weight twenty miles a day for sometimes six consecutive days, their only food being each day a little manioc root, an ear or two of maize, or a handful of peannts, pronounces them at once as men of singularly sound stamina. Small boys of eight and nine years old are frequently met carrying loads of twenty five pounds' weight. "Ihronghout the cataract region the general accepted money cur rency is Manchester cotton cloth made up into pieces of six yardf each. The European cost of the cloth paid to these natives for transporting a load to Stanley Pool from Matadi, including rations, amounts at'the present day to five dollars for a load of sixty five pounds. Five years ago the cost was only one-thud of this amount; bnt it has increased on account of the opposition of the various trad ing houses that have established stations at Stanley Pool for the ivory trade on the upper river." Emerson on Newspaper Readiug The following is from "Emerson's Talks with a College Boy," in the February Century: "Newspapers have done mnch to abbreviate expression, and so to improve style. They are to occupy during your generation a large share of attention.'' (This was said nearly a quarter ol a century ago. It was as if he saw ahead the blanket editions.) "And the most studious and engaged man can neg lect them only at his -cost. But have little to do with them. Laarn how to get their best, too, without their getting yours. Do not read them when the mind is creative. And do not read them thoroughly, column by column. Remember they are made for every body, and don't try to get what is n't meant for you. The miscellany, for in stance, should not receive your attention. There is a great secret in knowing what to keep out of the mind as well as what to put in. And even if you find yourself in terested in the selections, you can not use them, because the original source is not of reference. Yon can't quote from a newspaper. Like some insects, it died the day it was born. The genuine news is what you want, and practice quick searches for it. Give yourself only so many minutes for the paper. Then joa will learn to avoid the premature reports and anticipa tionp. and the stuff put in for peo ple who have nothing to think." A man writes me that he cau swear iu seven different languages. He says his style ot delivery is effective, and he cau swear the smoothest and vilest of any man in the swearistic field. He wants to hire out to compositors ou large dailies, and claims than in ten hours he can do all their swearing for a week with his tongue tied behind him. Give him a call and listen to his blued edged words of inspired eloquence. S in Francisco Wasp. An Ohio lady is the mother ot a large family of children, and they are all rather diminutive. A le lays after the birth of the youugeM a little niece of the lady called lo see the baby. After looking at the tiny specimen a few minutes, the child remarked: "Aunt Maria, don't you think it would be better to have less of 'em aud have 'em bigger?" A gentleman coming home at evening, spoke harshly to his little three jear old, who was placing very noisily. The little lady drop ped her playthings and retreated hastily to a corner. "What'a the matter!'' asked papa. "Well," said the child, "I've been a Jgood girl all this day, and now you come home and make trouble the first thing." Never whip your brain. All high pressure is dangerous. Stndy to think as easily and as quietly as you breathe. Never force yourself to learn what you have not talent for. A S9i:S CP THS SEA. A.iowu the buy, upon their way.

Humphrey, it is said, is the new postmaster appointed at Sanders' Store, though, as yet, the present incumbent has had no official an nouncement of that fact from head quarters. In reply to some Jour nai. correspondent recently Mr Humphrey bases his acceptance of the position upon the personal per suasion and influence of both Demo crats and Republicans. (Italics mine.) In doing so he has left two inferences reflecting somewhat on the old postmaster. I asked Mr Humphrey to correct the impres sion his letter was likely to make on the public mind against me, and in reply he expressed surprise that I should have taken exception to the woiding of his article, denying that he intended any reflection on myself. But th private denial does not cancel the effect of the iiubbhed inference of his article, which is equivalent to saying that the Democrats and Republicans of this community united in a petition tor his appointment in the place of the present incumbent, demonstra nng the popularity of the one and the diafavor ot the other Now, to this community, who know the facts, no reply is neces sary to this unfair inference; but to those without I wish to say that this loes me an injustice which I feel called upon to rebut. No dis satisfaction has ever reached my ears during my incumbency as postmaster at Sanders' Store the past ten or fifteen years from the patrons of this office. Nor is it true that the commu nity, or even a respectable por tion of it, has even been, or is now opposed to my postmaster ahip, and 1 may say without appearing in the role of selMaudation, if left to it now no change would be made on intimation that I wanted the place. Had Mr. Humphrey said that I did not want the office, but had asked the Post Office Depart ment to put some one in my stead, then bis statement reciting the influences causing him to accept the position ot postmaster at San ders' Store would have been shorn of all unfair inferences respecting the old incumbent. The other in ference is that I wrote the objec cionable article bnt as Mr. Hum ohrey so strongly denies any in tention to do me a wrong I pass it by without comment fanner than to say I knew nothing of the article or it author until referred to in Mr. Humphrey's reply. Very respectfully, J. W. Sanders. Nvt only should careless state ments, regarding our neighbors be ignored, but facts themselves should often be subdued in the interest of right thinking and fainress to our fellows. Frank B. Welch in 4r- kansaw Traveler. A six year o!u boy wrote his first composiMon ou water: "Water is good to drink, to bathe iu, and to KKate on. vv nen was a nine baby, the nurse used to bathe me every morning in water. I have been told that the Injuns wash themselves but once in ten years I wish I was an Injun." Love is exactly like war in this that a soldier, though he has escaped three weeks complete on Saturday night, nevertheless, be shot through his heart on Sunday morning. Nature is upheld by antagonisms. Passion, resistance, danger are ed'ic.i. or We acquire the strength we overcome. The talent of success is nothing more than doing what you can do well, and doing whatever you do without a thought of fame. ( Wh it we really are, somehow or other w ill ooze out in tone, in look in act and that tells upon those who come in daily contact with us. When you hear a woman says she has a bad husband just ask her what she has done to make him a good one. There is nothing lower than hypocrisy. To profess friendship aud show enmity is a sure proof of total depravity. It is well the book of life is opened to us page by page. Were all the hard lines bared at once the task would be too hard to master. Be noble, and the nobleness that lies sleeping, but not dead, in other men will be increased. A rftltfZfi AND A 21 S. 1.

' Thomas Casten bu lesidea near Trenton is dotting nis ii lo planta tion all over with la.e manure piles. Thomas beleives in a few acres well tilled and thoroughly fertilized. Notwithstanding the shoit crops and the cry ot hard times we see no difference iu the trade at Tren ton as the farmers appear to buy as usual and pay mo-ily in cash very lew are asking eredit from the merchants. We are very sorry to learn that many of our citizens have had mnch of their meat to spoil as in many cases the loss has fallen on those who were unable to lose it being compelled to kill them as feed was short. Two families exodusted from Trenton township during the past week to the land of promise with out making much noisb. Several of their nearest neighbors knew nothing of their departure until they were well on the way to their new homes. Jones county is about 55 miles long with an average of 12 miles wide. The river Trcui is navigable to Trenton for steamboats, and is one of the most aceomodating rivers in the United States, as it winds it - self around and gives nearly every plantation a landing. Mr. C. E, Slover offers for the best country made too a premium oi 25 lbs of family flour. We have in our county a hotot tab makers. Why can't they compete for this premium and at the mme time show the people . ttieii , workma ship ? We see some extra well made axhelves r Trenton today, made by baud b Mr. Kofus Nobles, ot this county . vVe hope that Mr Nobles, will send r-m of them to the New B. rue fair.

And instead of their trying to borrow money to run the farm they couid h.-vve money to improve it and to lend -o others in need of it. We truNt our farmers will call a hair ro pm chasing so much of the common ini fertilizers and commence utilizing their rich swamps bv composting it with another of Eastern Carolinas inex haustible products oyster shells burned to lime. Just try it, farm ers of Jones, and see ho cheaply you can renovate your old wornont fields, which if not helped :n some way in a short time, must be turned out to grow the old field pine.

Being benevolently inclined, we propose to "divide and share" the good things though we don't promise auihing very intensely interesting or startling. A BAD START. We k-fr. New Beiuc on Monday night, the L'Trh alt., at 7 o'clcockv on the ireight traiu, it being on account of extra work and some "contingencies," four hours late. You have heard ot tlia patieuce of Job but bis was not "nineteenth century" patieuce, neither weopiue did he ever run a local freight train, off schedule time. It rained a little at the start the train was a long one the wheels like "Pharoah's chariots'' dragged heavily there was much work to do so we made haute slowly. But engineer Mar shall pulled us through all right, and we came into Goldsboro at one o'clock (not nine) with conductor Willis looking as "sunny" as if just from a picnic. ELECTRIC LIGHTS. The electric lights had just been established this was the second or third night and lighted the streets brilliantly. There was an occesional wavering or flickering which will no doubt be quickly remedied. The lights at Wilming ton as we saw them the next night, were entirely steady. The burners at Goldsboro are attached to poles, in Wilmington they are suspended by the wires. In the former case there is an appearance of greater stability, but the light being close to the pole, casts a broad heavy shadow to a long distance. In tne latter case, though it looks a little fragile, the illumination is much more perfect. AT THE GEEGOEY HOUSE g were many persons, waiting to take the midnight trains. We fonnd a nice bed, were fast asleep by two, slept "fast" till nearly six, and then were off for Wilmington. Walking down from the hotel to the train quite a little distance we fell iu company with a gentle man from South Carolina who, with a certain resemblance of movement to the 'Treasurer of Candace," had come to Jerusalem (Goldsboro) to worship (Patti Rosa) and was returning to Jut. Olive, where ne is engaged in teaching. MILD WEATHER THEOEY. As we naturally spoke of the weath er, he said he had a theory respect ing the cause of this mild season. 'The earthquakes raised the bed of ocean under the Gulf Stream, thus making the water more shallow, and causing it to be widely ex tended, and hence to run nearer to shore, and to flow more slowly all these causes combining t6 soften the climate.'' We gave mm one of our premium lists, and called his attention to its tempting offer of prizes. He went through it with evident satisfaction, till the premium offered "for the best yield of corn on one acre, not ie than thirty bushels was reached and by way of comment on the small yield required told this BIG COEN STOEY The American Agriculturist of New York offered a prize of 5U0 for the largest yield ot corn on one acre in the United States, and one of the agricultural societies of South Carolina offered an eqnal amount, if the winning party should be a resident of South Carolina and grow the corn in that 'State, A South Carolina farmer was the successful competitor, and received the two prizes, amounting to l,ouu The vield was two hundred and fifty four bushels and forty nine voands, equal to fifty-one barrels, less seven pounds. The sequel to the story is, that so much labor was bestowed upon it, and so mucn money expended for commenciai and home made fertilizers, that the crop was grown at a loss of about Buckle' a Arnica HaUTt.
