DEATH OF DR.. HILL.-It is with sincere
regret that we announce the death of DR.. Jno.
Hill, OF this place. He died on Sunday
last, at his residence in this town. For many
years past Dr. Hill had been connected with
the Bank Of Cape Fear, first as Cashier AID then
as President, in which latter office he died. In
the death of such man as DR.. Hill, the whole
community sustains severe loss. AS gen.
tleman, scholar, and an enterprsing citizen,
he was well known and much respected
throughout the whole of the Cape Fear region
of the State.
On Monday, at 3 o'clock, P. NJ, his re-
mains were followed from his late residence
to the steamer employed for the purpose OF
conveying them to Orion, in Brunswick coun-
ty, by large concourse of the citizens OF Will
ton.

THE CLARENDON HORSE GUARDs-PREsEN-
TATIoN OF FLAG.-On Saturday last, the 9Th
inst. (the anniversary of the battle of Palo
Alto,) the Clarendon Horse Guards paraded in
front of the Carolina Hotel, from which place
they marched to the residence of Ex-Gover-
nor Dudley, for the purpose Of receiving a
beautiful banner, the gift of the fair daughters
of Wilmington. The Flag, which is a white
Satin one, with beautiful and appropriate de-
vices, was presented to the company by Gov
Dudley, who on this occasion had the honor
of being the spokesman of the fair donors. 1t
was received on behalf the company by Capt.
W. c. Howard. The addresses of Gov. Dud-
ley on presenting the Flag, and of Capt. How
ard on receiving it, were short, beautiful and
appropriate, and we would have taken great
pleasure IN spreading them before our readers
had they been furnished us for that purpose
THE EIGHTH D1srRIcT-We see that the
Wings have nominated Richard S. Donnell
Esq, of Craven county, as their candidate fol
Congress in this district
What are our Democratic friends doing in
this district We have seen no move on then
part to bring out Democratic candidate, L
is high time they were thinking about the
matter 1t is true there is a whig ma
jority in the district, if we look to the late
trials of strength between the parties; bu
then the majority is not great, and we have
nc doubt but if our party will only make a ju
dicious selection it can carry the district witt
perfect ease Mr.. Donnell is not the man II
rally the Wing ranks; and besides, he viii
have to carry on his back, through the cam
paign, the sins of the late Federal Legislature
We therefore call upon our friends in that dis
trict to bring out a good and a true man, ant
we feel confident that they can elect him.

appointed Lieutenant Colonel of the 18th Regi-
ment of Infantry, has been promoted to the
rank of Colonel Col. Wilson, of North Car

not leave the Edgecombe boys for any office
the President could give him.

ANOTHER RICHMOND IN THE F1ELD.-The
Chronicle OF last Wednesday, says that it has
oeen requested by VIM. R. Hall, Esq, OF
Brunswick County, to announce him as a
Wing candidate for Congress in this Congress
sional District. So the Wings are to have a
candidate Well, some folks think themselves
smart, and, of course, we have no objection to
their telling the world OF the good opinion
which they entertain of-themselves. But,
seriously, we wonder if Mr.. Hall is in earnest
or only joking We shall see. At any rate
it makes no earthly difference, so far as the
Democratic party is concerned.

GfIt gives US pleasure to see that the gen.
erous efforts Of the people of the United States
for the relief Of the furnishing people of Ire
land, are properly appreciated in that country
and in England We have read letter from
Father Mathew, the great Irish Temperance
Reformer, addressed to the Editor of the Alba
ny Evening Journal, in which he says that
the gratitude OF the people of Ireland is literal
ly unbounded-and that the time may yet
come when the Irish people will have it in
their power to prove their grateful feelings in
some tangible shape. The following letter,
on the same subject, addressed by Lord Pal
merston, the English Secretary of Foreign Al
fairs, to Mr. Pakenham, the British Minister
in this country, will be read with pleasure -

Irish poor.

ernment. and the British nation at large feel for

have been expected that a generous and high
minded nation would deeply commiserate the suf-

has inflicted upon So large population, descended

active and energetic assistance which the people
of the United States thus affording to the poor
Irish, while it reflects the highest honor upon our

be their candidate. The highest duty, then,
of the republican press, will be to be constant
and vigilant in its endeavors to unmask the
devices and tricks of the federalists-to keep
the people constantly on their guard against
the designs of that most insidious and unscru-
pulous party. To this good work we invoke
our brethren of the democratic press in this
State. We mpIore them to be vigilant and
unceasing in their exertions to keepthe people
in possession OF the mores of our federal op-
ponents. Let them do this, and we have roth

MEAD THE MOST REMARKABLE CURE EVER
CoRnED.
WaIdeboro', Me-, July 80, ls45.
Dear Sir Having experienced great benefit
from your invaluable medicine, l feel it my duty
and privilege to let the world know what it has
done tor me. Possessed of a strong constitution
naturally, had enjoyed perfect health previous
to the spring Of 1913, when | was troubled with
a difficulty in my left side. attended with con-
siderable pain. Sometime in July | WIS Violent
~ attacked with a cough. which continued until
fall then was confined to the house eight months,
during which time my cough was very severe.
frequently had spells of coughing which lasted
two hours; daily raised large quantities of disa-
greeable matter, accompanied with blood Some
times raised quart of blood at a time. | con-
suited my physicians. all of whom did their best
to restore me; gave me up; said they could do no
mere for me; must die. One of them said my
lungs were gone. AT this critical moment, when
eminent physicians had exhausted their skill,
despaired of my life, my own hope of recovery at
an end, | resorted to DR.. Wistar's Basam of
Wild Cherry When had taken one and half
bottles those severe spells of coughing were re-
moved. l continued taking the Balsam until
spring, 1874, when ceased to bleed at the lungs,
my hea tn and strength improved SO that left
the house, but was not able to work for a year.
Now my health is good. l am abe to do day
work every day on my farm. JAS. COMERY.

Oe-It will be seen by reference to another
column, that the Democracy of Cumberland
held meeting during last week, in which they
nominated Gen. Mckay for Congress. We
feel assured that, under the circumstances,
Gen. Mckay cannot feel himself justified IN
refusing to accept the nomination which has
been so spontaneously rendered to him by al
most every county in the district. His health,
it is true, is rather delicate just now, but we
learn that he proposes going to the Springs in
the course of the coming summer, and we feel
assured that he will return much invigorated
both in body and mind. There is, according
to our notion, no necessity in the world for his
canvassing the district, We all know him
and his principles SO we'll during the last thir-
ty years that he has been in public life, that
it would be an unnecessary tax upon his al.
ready delicate constitution to stump" the
whole district during the hot summer months

10 CORRESPONDENCE said in our last,
that we had number of poetical illusions on
nand' which we would dispose of this week.
We'll, we have looked over them, and altho'
not taking to ourself any credit for taste or cr-
teal acumen in such matters, still we must be
permitted TO be the arbiter of the fate of these
productions,-so far, at least, as their publica-
ton in the Journal is concerned. 1t would
give us great deal of pleasure to crafty all
our POLITICALLY inclined friends, but It is not in
our power. We have placed on file such of
them as we think of publishing, and will give
them place so soon as we conveniently can.
We have, by every sort of hint which we
could think of, endeavored to inform some of
our correspondents, that poetry was not their
strong point; but in vain. Once for all, we
say, when any person writes verses for our
paper, he must leave it with US, whether we
will give them place at all +; and if we give
them place, at what time.

BRITISH DEsERTERs.---We see it stated IN
the Rochester Advertiser that the Canada pa

which have already taken place, and which
are daily taking place, amongst the British
troops, stationed in that province The de-
serters, to the tune of hundreds, have made
their way into the United States and most OF
them have enlisted in our army for the prose-
cution of the Mexican war. The reason they
assign is, that the pay and the treatment they
receive under our government is so much bet
