PASSAGE OF THE GREAT WESTERN


We make no comment on the following
paragraphs from the n York Globe, because
none are needed:
TANNING THE MoST HrGH BY RESOLUTION.
We place below the following resolution,
adopted by the passengers, on board the Great
Western, after the storm had abated The
idea of thanking God by proxy, in this man.
ner, and deputlng Committee to draft the re-
solve, is certainly novel. The clause, inclu-
ding the " Captain, officers, and crew." in the
| same vote OF thanks, is not the least curious
part of the affair:
"Resolved, That Committee be appointed
to draft resolution expressive of our gratitude
to Almighty God for his great goodness in our
almost miraculous deliverance from destruction;
| and also to the captain, officers, and crew of
the ship, for their arduous labors, and their
SKILL frmness and perseverance in carrying
the ship through her late periIous condition"
The serious reader will probably be still fur
Their astonished to learn that this Parliamenta-
~ mummery was actually carried out, and
that the Almighty received vote Of thanks
for his exceeding kindness and providential
care, precisely in the same manner that cap
tains Of packet ships are frequently compl
mented at the close Of dangerous and protrac-
ted voyages.
| People, for aught we care, may worship
God rs they choose, either through committee
or otherwise, and Mr. Greeley's peculiar no.
! tons in such matters, render the Tribune emf
nently appropriate, as the medium through
| which such ceremonies may be spread before
the world. When people, however, parade
| their method ofdevotion through the press,
| they cannot complain if it be commented up
on.

EXCITEMENT IN WAYNE.

We understand that few evenings ago, in
Wayne county, negro of Mr.. L. Cogdel, was
shot dead in his kitchen door, and several 9TH
ers were wounded that five men in the neigh
borhood were suspected of the offence, and
the Sheriff, with a posse of twenty men, went
in pursuit of them, and found them so well
fortified and armed with guns and muskets in
house, that they could not be captured; and
the company met with such warm reception
several of them being severely wounded
they found it most prudent to retreat. On
their return to Waynesborough, a company of
about one hundred men was raised, and all
well armed and taking with them a cannon,
to beat down the house, if found necessary,
they proceeded again to the place, but on their
arrival the suspected persons had abandoned
their fortress. Being thus again baffied, the
Sheriff and his party commenced the return
march; but one of the company, who Jagged
behind about half mile, had his horse shot
from under him, by some person concealed in
the woods near the scene of action When
he found his legs, it is said he made proper
use of them until he leaped a ten foot fence
into the yard of a neighbor, few hundred
yards distant These circumstances, we learn,
have created great excitement, which still pre-
walls in the County.-RGletgh Star.

specimen of Sugar Cane, from small cTon
raised by the Rev. Dr.. Owen, of Sampson coun.
ty. 1t is said, by gentleman from Florida,
TO be equal in appearance to any usually pro,

common thing among the farmers of Sampson
to raise the Cane, and that some of them are
preparing to 60 into the regular business OF
Sugar making. A considerable Quantity is
expected to be made by some of them the pres.
ent season. Wehope the enterprising farmers
OF old Sampson will go ahead in this impor-
