Reunion of tlie Sixty-Seventh Itesji' ment. The annual reunion of the Sixty-sev with N. C. Regiment (Col. Whitford 's will meet in Beaufort on the 20th of July, and the following rates have been obtained' from the Midland road, to be good on regular train from the 19th to 24th of July: Round trip from Uolds boro to Morehead City and return, 2.50; from La Grange, $2.00; from Kinston, $1.50; from New Berne, $1.00. Your Nam in Print. Hon, J. W. Shakelford, looking hale and hearty, arrived in the city last night, fresh from the State Convention. Dr. G. K. Bagby of Beaufort has just returned from a trip through Hyde where he has been for a week or two ou professional business. W. L. Arendell of Morehead City was in to see us yesterday. He reports the visitors- coming in as having a good time. - Col. Jno. N. Whitford of Jones county came back from the Convention on Wednesday, He left Col. Askew in charge of the Jones delegation and was satisfied all would be well. We were pleased to meet Dr. N.

In Thursday's , Messenger is a card : 'signed by fifty or sixty of the prominent business men of Goldsboro, deploring that men . claiming to be North Caro linians have, for several months past, been engaged in an effort to discredit Mr; Best's work on the Midland rail road, so as to cause distrust in the minds of his associates as to the attitude of the authorities and people of the State towards the Midland. ' We cannot see the ilise of any such card after Uie meeting of the Stockhold ers last week, Every ' encouragement . possible seems to have been held out to Mr. Best by those who had a right to speak. Or is there any truth in the , rumor that the Boston Syndicate have determined to back, and that, in the language of our Kinston correspondent, Jurvis and the Richmond and Danville have already "buttoned down" on Mr. Best, and it is only a question of time ' (September next), when they will take ' possession. ? , , : A Hard lirartvd Man. In the Cemetery in this city there has been for a long time a certain tombstone recumbent, on which it has been custo mary for young couples, with eye in tent on matrimony, to sit and converse on forbidden topics. The Chairman of the Cemetery committee, Mr. Alex. Miller, in order to preserve the tomb stone, had a neat bench made near the spot just large enough for two, jinrt the young men and maidens were thus made happy. But this same Chairman not having the fear of Cupid before his eyes, has had a second bench made a few feet from the first one and as both benches are generally tilled the subject of housekeeping is strictly tabooed. Separate the benches is reform cry now heard in the land. New New Heme Puller. The first number of the New Berne Bivimer is out. It is a weekly, edited by Fred. Douglas, with E. E. Tucker an Proprietor and Manager. Its politics can be gathered from the following ex tracts, and we calculate that between the Banner and Lodge, politics will get pretty lively after a while: For Congressman the nominee should be a good, true and lawful citizen: a man with one lawful wife, and one that has always been loyal to the Govern ment. No trading politician need ap ply. Do you understand ? Abbott's "B. & B. 'Brigade" have never deceived the good people of this County, District, nor State; 'they have always been true to the party that gave them the right to vote and hold office. Do you see '( Hon. Orlando Hubbs will be re-nominated on the second, if not the first bal lot. He will carry the following coun ties on the first ballot: -Craven 4, War ren 4, Lenoir 2, Jones 2." Total 12. New Uenic FinaneeK. At the monthly meeting of the City- Council on Tuesday night there wan, a tnotiou made to leave off the lights in the city on account of lack of money to meet bills. The motion was voted down. The question arises what shall be done in the matter.' It will not do to cut off lights for that is absolutely nec essary for the safety and convenience of the people; it will not do to cut down on the Fire Department, for on that branch depends our safety from tires but something must be done. A man that deliberately goes in debt, knowing that he has no reasonable hope of paying, is a poor citizen and a poor Christian ac cording to Rev. Mr. Ea son's sermon lastSunda'; and a city thatspends more than her income is doing a poor busi ness. At the same meeting on Tuesday night notice was given that the black smith who had been shoeing the city horses at S3. 00 each, would in the future charge 2.50 on account of not getting cash. A bad showing anil some remedy ought to be found. Cotton Out look. --We continue to glean extracts from the letters sent to the New Berne Cotton Exchange. We note among most of the reports that labor is decreasing. This is partly caused by the prosperity of the country. As indicated in an editorial in Thursday's Journal,' the poor are getting better off year by year, and in this case the result is that laborers are ceasing to be day laborers, and are turning farmers on their own account. Mr. W. H. West of Lenoir county savs that the cold, backward Spring has caused crops to be backward, and that in the bottoms crops are almost a failure; Mr.'C. H. Fowler of Stonewall thinks crops are later by three or four weeks, and that with a reasonably late Fall three fourths of a crop will be made; Mr. C. M. A. Griffin of Bells Ferry, Pin, county, reports crop two weeks late but improving very rapidly, and that there is considerable falling off in labor; Mr. W. S. Bell Jr., of Newport gives the very encouraging answer of plenty of labor and no fertilizers used; Mr. D. S. Aman of Palo Alto, Onslow county re ports 10 xar cent decrease in acreage, labor decreased 20 per cent and use of commercial fertilizers increased; Mr. E. F. Sanderson of Polloksville gives acre age as usuaj, stand bad, crop two weeks late, condition of crop now very good and an increased use of fertilizers; Mr. A. L. Heath of Croatan reports bad stands, labor inefficient and use of fer- tiiizers falling off ; and Mr. E. L. Francks of Richlands closes the number with a fair stand of cotton, later by 10 days but improving with same amount of la bor and increased use of fertilizers. Mr. D. S. Carraway of the Wilson Sifting (what does a newspaper man know about cotton?) reports . 25,000 acres piantea in wuson county, wan a decreased acreage, condition of crop about average, labor scarce with a de crease of fertilizers. Of the nine letters received, seven are Journal subscribers, and only two, Messrs. Bell and Heath are not on our books. We refer to this matter to show the advertising public what they may expect if they desire to send out any news in the Journal. When you pick up a squad of letters, from time to time, from different sections of the country, and nearly all the writers are subscri bers to any one paper it is pretty fair evidence of its wide-spread circulation. But we are not satisfied that nearly everyoue in the surrounding country should be Journal subscribers; we want all, and therefore keep an agent, Mr. C. C. Taylor, constantly in the field.

On Monday July 3rd a large Mass Meeting of the Democrats of Onslow wits held in the Court House in Jack sonville, te send delegates to the Con gressional Convention Dr. C, Thompson, chairman of the County Executive Committee, called the meeting to order, and on motion ap pointed a committee of five to report permanent officers for the meeting.

The question then arose whether ti nominate county officers by this meet ing or not, and speeches were made by Messrs. J. W. Spicer, Harvey Cox, Dr C. Thompson, Frank Thompson, sr., Col S. B. Taylor and Solomon Gornto; and -while mil the'speeches were of a hi order, the address of J. W. Spicer de serves especial mention. He is a fine orator, and has the merit of making an effective talk. After the mass meeting ad journei the County Executive Committee met and decided to call precinct meetings on the last Saturday in July to appoint delegates to a County Convention t Jacksonville, on the first Monday in August, to nominate candidates for the Legislature and county offices. Kinston Items. Mrs. Kitty Smith, we Rlieni, wife of A. D. smith, died at her residence in Lenoir county on the 4th instant. J. W.

They also accepted the bid of George Phillips at $225 for mak ing seats in the Court House, and ele vating, to the required height, the sec tion of the court 'room assigned to the Judge and attornies. ; , ,. ; ,.'.: The Great Whiteoak PocokIii, This lxteosin has a large quantity of aluable land. On the east side joining Whiteoak river there is a largo quanti- of valuable swamp land belonging to the State. I will mention some of the important swamps. The Gibson branch joining the land of L. J. Ilen- erson, containing 200 acres, the lork branch joining the laud of A. B. Carroll. ontaiuing MO acres, 1 lie Great branch joining the land of T. C. Parsons, con taining 500 acres. I will now mention the river laud, be longing to the State of North Carolina. The north west prong ol Whiteoak Kiv- contains 100 acres or very good swamp land joining the land of T. W. Maid. Barnes Branch, between the two prongs of the river contains 500 acres; the south west prong joining the land of G. W. Smith, contains 2,000 acres, which added together makes 4,700 acres of as good Swamp land as :in be found in the State of North Car olina, which would make from 75 to 100 bushels of rice per acre or from 10 to IS irrels ot corn when drained. 1 will now describe the river. This river ris es in the Poeosin between Jones and Onslow comities, and empties into Bogue inlet, between Carteret and Ons low, wni lh ot Swansboro. It is H miles wide at its month and from 20 to 30 feet wide where it Hows from the State land. and generally from 5 to 10 feet deep nd ' or 40 nines long, and has a vast luanlity of valuable timber. Such as ypress, sweetgum, blackgum, poplar. maple, ash, hickory, dogwood, pine, beech, holly, etc., and near tin; head is a large forest of junipeis from one to three feet in diameter and thirty feet clear of limbs which if it could be got in market would pay the cost of build ing a railroad lroin the Blue Judge mountains to the -Atlantic ocean. 1 think there is tit least 700,000 tons, which at 7.00 per ton would be $490,000,000, and this timber cannot be got without learing out therivcr and building a ailroad from Trenton to Jacksonville. Beside this there is about 3,000 acres of good high cotton land which the road would cross in the tori; ol While Oak iver. Yours respectfully, Gko. W. Smith. Mount Sliilolt ICxeiirioii.

The Slate Democratic Convention which meets to-day would do well to take a lesson from the Past. It is bare ly two years since the last convention assembled; hundreds of the delegates having "free passes" on the Railroads, it is said. Only two years ! yet what a change lias come to puss, in the unity, the enthusiasm, the prospects, of the party! How different would be the status to-day, if the work of that day had called to the leadership such a man as Gen. Scales, or Judge Ashe, or Mr. Dortch, or Mr. Steadman !

JOS. NELSON, Register Deeds, julyfl-dlni Craven Co., N. C. To the Voters of tlio Third emigres Kional District of North Carolina. In reply to many enquires and letters received, expressing a desire to know, as to whether or not I am a candidate for re-nomination. I decerned it proper to reply in this public way. Little more than two years ago, the Democratic party, in convention in the town of Fayetteville, tendered me the nomination for Congress under circum stances familiar to every voter in the district. I accepted, and canvassed with fear and trembling, because, of the dis organization of the party, caused by its defeat in the former Congressional struggle. After a healed and bitter rnnwr with two oolitical opponents in the field, with the aid of a united De mocracy, victory again perched upon our banner. The nomination was unsolicited by me, as my friends all know. I have nnt sraitrlit re-nomination, nor have I iwinested inv friends to influence Con- I Vv.tSv Committees to appoint Delegates in my behalf to the Congressional Convention, and will not. t a.m't. helieve in combinations and trades. Let the people, uninnuenceu, nominate the man of their choice; vic tory will then be ours. The people, not rings, must control our Conventions, if we expect our candidates to bear off the flag of victory. ; . . , ; ... . I thank the voters of the District for their encouragement and Btipport given me in the late contest. The thanks of the Democracy of the State are due you for redeeming the District, and perhaps saving the party in the Old North State. Two years -ago at your, bidding I led a fnrinm hone, with what success you know.
