We call attention to the advertise- rmnt of our State University in to-day's piper. ' Every Jone should feel an in terest in placing this honored institution in the position it once hell among the institutions of learning in tlu land, which was that of the front rank; and we believe that under the zealous at tention of President Battle it is rapidly regaining all lost ground'. A committee of the Board of Trustees from different portions of the State recently made a careful inspection of its workings and rendered a most favorable report as to its teaching morale, etc. Muc h atten tion is given to instruc.ion of practical value to men in the various pursuits of life and a spirit of economy rules .imong the students. Kinston Items. W. H. West, Esq., of Sand Hill, is at tending the District Conference of tho M. E. Church at Stanton. It is all fully explained now. Our special tobacconist, who has jumped irom u to ou years old in one year, is simply acting on the advice, "in peace, prepare for war." He is only preparing for the exigencies of the military draft which may come from war, if Hlaine and Logan are elected. Uoi. j. x. Scharf, or Baltimore, cives in the New York Tribune an interesting account of the capture of the United States steamer Underwriter, sit the wharf, ai. New Berne, North Carolina, in February, 1864. We remember well when the expedition left Kinston one Sunday evening and how relieved we were at their departure, for a more un godly set of dare devils were never col lected together on any errand of glory or danger. This expedition was under the command of a Kentuckian, Col. John Taylor Wood, a relative of ex- President Taylor. Col." Wood picked about 120 men and put them in boats and went down the Neuse river in the night. A terrible rain came and drenched everybody to the skin. When tney came in sight of the lights or the steamer and could hear her ball Ktrike, the watches of the boats were drawn up together and Wood made prayers. It was in the neighborhood of 2 o'clock in the morning when they approached tho steamer. Jl lookout hailed twice, "Boat ahoy!" and then sprang a rattle and the Confederates in their numerous boats pulled with all their might to keep from being blown out of the water be fore they should board. There were boarding nettings out which had to be gotten over. The Herculean nun, picked for the service, observed as they came near one reckless Federal officer standing on the wheel-house and de liberately emptying his rovoiver into the boats. He was shot and seemed to turn a somersault in the air as he fell into the water dead. The officers and crew of the Underwriter, Mr. Scharf says, fought like devils. When the his torian got on board he saw men running each other up and down the decks with cutlasses crossed like butter knives, One man was literally cut to pieces be fore he would yield, his lingers cut off and he had nine balls in him. Several negroes were found concealed after the capture and were immediately killed, The vessel was carried and a mere hand' fulof her crew spared. The boarding party lost thirty-six men, or about a third of their number. In the dark night, Col. Scharf felt his way along the decks slippery with blood, and could hear the dying all around breathing hard 'in the agonies of death. The officer in charge had locked -up his sig nals and thrown the keys into the sea, The vessel was scarcely taken when one of the neighboring forts opened with a two hundred pound shot, which carried away the walking beam and conse quently the vessel could not be moved. the assailants raised a terrible yell when they took the vessel and the shore batteries were ordered to save the steamer by disabling her. Consequent ly, with the exception of a few prison ers and the terrible panic created in New Berne, the long and , laborious voyage accomplished nothing. Col Wood afterwards commanded the Tal lahassee which threatened the City of New York, ran down their fishing fleets and was intended to capture some of their ocean steamers. ; ; ; . Notice. The steamer Snow Hill will sail this morning at 10 o'clock sharp for Snow Hill, and on Tuesday at 10 o'clock sharp for Trenton. D or freight, apply to G. F. M. Dail, Ag't. Notice. The steamer Elm City will leave New Berne for Bav river Friday morniner. August 1, at 8 a, m., instead of Satur day. . - , Ralph uray, Agent, r WAR! WAR I WAR 1 The greatest political war perhaps for the last century is now about to open. and that every Cleveland or Blaine man may take an active part in this great political fight, it is of great importance that he should commence at once to lay in hts supplies of Groceries and Dry Goods at the Great Cheap Cash Store of HUMPHREY &' HOWARD'S, that he may give the necessary time to aohieve the greatest victory ever gained in these United States. The war has actually begun from the Presidential Chair down to the lowest county offices. Some may cry peace, peace, but there will be no peace 'until every man shoulders his pocket-book and goeR down to the Great Cheap Cash Store of HUMPHREY & HOWARD'S, and buys a supply of Dry Uoo'r, Groceries, I'.ooH and Mines, etc. Squashed. Cypress Creek, Jones Co., July 29, 1SS4. ) Editor Journal.: As I have not seen any report-from our vicinity. in the Journal, I will give j our readers some idea of what we are tloin in the way of cropping, etc. So far its I have seen in my travels, the crops on Mr. Cyrus Brown's place arc the best. You talk about your Gum Branch onions Hnd largo. cabbage; let rao tell you what Mr. J. II. Basden has done in the way of raising squash. He weighed one on the 28th of July which tipped the scales at 90 .pounds. Then he meas ured and found that it measured from stem to blossom and back six feet, and five feet around. He has named it Cleveland, bocause it has beaten in weight any vegetable that has been re ported. So will Cleveland step into the White House in November. Send it down, we want it for the Exposition. If it weighs and measures w hat you say, Mr. Basden can have the Weekly Journal one year for it. Ed. Journal.! Mr. Wm. Shiver, a citizen of Cypress creefc, died of dropsy Tuesday, July 29th. He has suffered several months, being unable to lie down a great part of too time, we extend to the bereaved family our heartfelt sympathy, and point them to Him who comforteth in the deepest hours of sorrow, even when all earthly hopes hath fled. Hogs are quite scarce in this commun ity r nearly all being killed by the cholera. We will, Burely, have to go West for meat this year coming. The pieces in the Journal, written by lev. Mr. Vass, from the Old Country, are very interesting indeed. We wish that the Journal contained one of his lettois every week. I hear that there is some complaint about the Journal. It ia getting so very strong. They 6ay that your Gum branch itemizer has so much to say about Cad. Koonce's onions until the paper smells of them. I tell them don't think that Cad. has been the man to let the editor tackle with those roots. As to the large squash, any wishing to see a 9U pound squash can Imvo the pleasure of doing so by calling on Mr. H. Basden nuy time, between now and the October Fair. Beston Iteiiia JNo marriages ot ue "albs to report this week. It is talked that a revival will begin at Hood swamp soon. Mrs. Phoebe Woodard i quite s:ck at her homo in New Hope. Mrs bamuel bimili ot .La. uraiijje s on a visit to relatives iu Saulston. Mr. Ezekiel Smith has the be-,t Iiiirli land corn that we have seen this year J. F. Hill, Lewis Ruves and W. B. Smith have tho finest cotton in Sauls ton. There is a great deal of spoilt wheat this year caused from threshing too wet we suppose. Mrs. J. 11. Wood of tins, Mew Hope, township is visiting relatives and friends in the Bucklesberry section Henry Vinson is the champion turtlo catcher of this section, having caught twelve very large ones at three sets. Henry says that some of their shells are large enough lor a cradle. Tho recent heavy rains and cool nichtp have done considerable damage to crops. Iho general opinion is that there cannot be more than one-half of a crop made through this neighborhood We understand that Billy II. ia also a subiect for matrimony, as ho likes to pass over the river and rest under the shade of old 15ro. M s. and help him cull those large melons for Gold s mar ket. Mr. A. T. Uzzell has just returned from a visit to his Jone3 county planta tion and leports crops a3 good. Corn crops, he says, are better than he has ever seen on his place. Mr. Uzzell is a fast judge of good corn - General opinion is that M. W., tho old batchelor of New Hope, is on the war path for a wife, as he recently being the purchaser of a very fine horse and buggy and his passing up the road twice a week and Sundays for a rarity. Hurry up neighbor, for we have an eye on those pigs. . Mr. Geo. W. Best lost a very fine mule last week. .Mr. B. examined her and says that she had near a peck of sand in her stomach. He thinks that he has another diseased in the same manner. Mr. Best bought them last fall at special order and payed George D. Bennett two hundred and sixteen dollars apiece for them. Some one broke into Mr. Lewis Reave 's kitchen last Saturday night and carried off half bushel of meal and something near half barrel of flour; they also took about twenty bundles of fodder. JNext morning Wr. u. tracKed the thief up and found the fodder, but no arrest has been made as yet. We would like for T. W. Uzzell, J. P., to visit Mr. Reaves' now and get par ticulars. . ' - We had the pleasure of visiting the White Hall section a few days ago and found crops looking well. The farmers are highly pleased with the Democratic State ticket, but there is some trouble about who will bo the next sheriff; some are in favor of Grantham another term, while others oppose him and say let ub have a new man. Be careful, friends, what new man you choose for fear that we have a rad for sheriff the next term. ' . - Mr. Nick Best came near having his child murdered a few days ago. Mr. Best says the nurse, i colored girl about ten or twelve years of age, ran away from his home with the child and was gone sonie time before Mrs. Best missed the child and after diligent search for some time they succeeded in finding her track and they followed it about three or four miles through a large po cosin - when she. was - discovered she was in the act of throwing the child into an old wrill.but" at seeing Mr. Best she put the child behind the well and fook to the wods and made good her Stonewall Items. Mrs. Church, Miller, of Bayboro, who has been suffering' for several months with Bright 8 disease of the kidneys, died on the night of the 31st. Lawrence W. Brooks has a horse down with the mad staggers. If he is not dead there is hardly a doubt but that he will die. It is the second horse he has lost in less than 12 months. I see yon did not publish mv com plaint of freights per steamer Elm City and think it should be made to the company. I have made it to Capt. Gray and Mr. C. H. Fowler. Now if you think that I should mako it to any more, and will just name them, I will be pleased to do so. It is rather difficult to see all the stockholders. I will be pleased if you will do me the favor to publish what I wrote you. Here it is : There is considerable complaint of freights per the steamer Elm City and one is that the freight on a barrel of flour from New Berne here is 10 cents, and on a barrel of Irish potatoes in the same barrel from here to New Berne is 15 cents. The freight from New Berne here on sack of salt is ten cents and on a sack of kainit about the same, and the freight on sack of salt is 20 cents, just double. I am confident that it is the only line in the United States that dis criminates against fertilizers. All Transportation Companies that I have ever been acquainted with freight fer tilizers at as low or lower rates per hundred weight than any thing else except this, and why ? I am unable to say. There is one thing as sure as day light it the freights are not equalized the time is not far distant when there will be other means than that steamer. When the farmers cease to patronize the boat her profits will not increase much. There is plenty of crafts that can be had and are anxious to come. I am satisfied that it is the wishes of the whole community that the steamer may prosper, and I know it is mine, but not at the expense of the farmers. The freight on a barrel of whiskey from New Berne here is only 20 cents, the same as on a sack of kainit that is only worth fcl.au; the whiskey is worth over 100 dollars. I think I haye said enough. GENERAL ;NEWS. Washington, D. C, July 30. Wm. Culbertson, Republican representative in Congress from the Uth Kentucky district, attempted suicido to-day by shooting himself injhis room in the JSational hotel. His chances for re covery are slight. He had been drink ing hard recently and to that circum stance is due his present condition. Cincinnati, July 30. A terrible ex plosion occurred in the house of Henry U pmeir, 21 Oregon street, this morning A young son of Upmeir brought home an unexploded rockot that had fallen from tho Highland house where there had been an exhibition of fireworks last night. The lad tried to open it but failing to do so his mother seized a hatchet and dealt it a severe blow. A terrific explosion followed. Mrs, Up meir was fatally injured; Ida Upmeir, aged 12, fatally injured; Chas. Upmeir, ased 6, severely hurt, and Philip Hill, aged 10, slightly injured. It was a six pound rocket. Tho vicinity of the ex plosion was fearfully wrecked. Philadelphia, July 30. Bettie & Bro., wool merchants, No. 8 North Front street, made an assignment to-day to Samuel Leo.
