OR1GnAL LISTER FROM eES. ~ WASHINGTON Be
low we copy from. the Newborn en- CD Atlantic the
Original letter of Gen, Geo. Washington to the IN
habitants of that town. The manuscript Of the let
ter is in the possesson of James g. Stanly, Esq,
clerk of the Court of Craven county, to whom it
was presented in 1910, by Judge Francis XAVIER
Martion the eve of his departure for louisiana to
discharge the duties of Judge of that Territory to
which he had been appointed by President Madison
The Atlantic gives the circumstances connected with
this letter as follows: A Convention had been as
sembled in North Carolina to act on the Constitution
of the United States. That Convention rejected the
Constitution. After its rejection, Gen. washington
was persuaded by many who anxious to see
North Carolina adopted into the family of States, to
lend his personal influence to the attainment OF that
object He did so, and came to Newbern, (then the
the town, the citizens addressed him letter, and the
one we publish is his reply. 1t has never been IN
print before that we are aware of
Gen Washington staid in Newbern but short
Blackwell, Esq, which is, also, rendered famous as
having formerly been the residence of the iustrous
John Stanly, of the most rcvered of Cardinals
sons.
The following is the letter
To the Inhabitants Of the 1Olcn Of Ne1c6erR:
GENTLEMEN: express with real pleasure the CRATE
full sentiments which your address inspires. l am
much indebted in every personal regard, to the po-
lite attention of the inhabitants OF Newborn, nor am
less grafed by their patriotic declarations on the
situation of our common country Pleasing indeed
is the comparison which retrospect OF past scenes
affords with present happy conditon-and equal
Iy sos the anticipation of what may still attain,
and long continue to enjoy.
bountiful Providence has blcst with all the
means of national and domestic happiness-to our
own virtue and wisdom referred their improve
ment and realization.
That the Town of Newborn may eminently partici-
pate in the general prosperity, and its inhabitants be
happy is my sincere wish

At regular communication of Fulton Lodge, No
80, held at the Masonic Hall in the Town of Salisbu-
ry, on Friday Evening Oct. 7th A. D. 1858, A. L.
1888, the following preamble and resolutions were
unanimously. adopted.
When the hand of God is felt in the removal from
earth of loved ones, and friends thereby producing
void in our hearts that must forever remain untitled
it becomes rational and immortal beings pause
IN the midst of our worldly vocatons and contemplate
with serious earnestness the solemn truth that we
are all fast fastening to the cold and silent grave
where our mortal frames must mingle with their
mother dust And though it is very painful to hear
OF the death OF friends, when they surround
ed by their kindred and brothers of the mystic tie
it is still more painful to learn that brother has been
smtten down by the destroyer in the midst of stran-
gers, Sfar from those to whom he is bound by the
ties of Masonry.
In the death of Brother Eli P. Miller who died in
Asheboro on the Sd nst feel that the Fraternity
has lost of its brightest ornaments this lodge one
OF its most exemplary members that society has sus
tanned irreparable loss and void has been caused
in the hearts and homes of his kindred that will be
productive of tears and sorrows
Therefore be it Resolved
That Fulton Lodge No 90, has heard with pro-
found regret of the death of Brother Eli p Miller
and that our regret is heightened from the fact that
he died afar from his relatives and Masonic friends
Resolred, That:we deeply sympathse with the re-
latives of Brother Miller, in this great crushing be-
reavement by which they have been so suddenly de-
pr1Yed of an affectonate brother and son-cut down
while the most brilliant prospects of happiness were
consprng to make life desirable and thoughts of death
repulsive.
ResoJced That in testimony of high regard for our
departed Brother will wear the usual badge of
mourning for thirty days, and censecrate page of
our Record Book to his memory.
Resotoed, That the Secretary be instructed to fur
nlsh the relatives of the deceased with copy ofthesc
Resolutions, and copies to the Salisbury and Raleigh
papers with request to publish

RUIN !-RUIN!! Secretary Corwin excited an in
credulous smile on the countenance of some of our
political Cassandras when he reported the estimated
proper for the fiscal year ending June 30th,
1863 at $51, 600. He cas mistaken-the year
passed, the accodnts footed, and the total
amount $61, 600, 900, outstriping his estimate
100000. The Secretary of the Treasury re-
ports surplus on hand, the Doth of August, of
over $27 900 0oO which is constantly augmenting.
AS key, of some sort, to the commerce of our
country, may remark that the revenue above men
toned comprises $50, 900 900 of duties showing
amount of dutable imports estimated at nearly
$3.50 900 000 advance of $780, 000 900 on the pre-
ceding year.
Our only danger-=and few will deem it an
Imaginary one-is that our general governments
pockets will get too full Bloodetting is the remedy
for pethora-a further reduction of the tariff is the
word. Pet Dem.
A suit has been brought by. Archbishop Hughes
against the proprictors of tho Episcopal Recorder,
Philadelphia, the Bulletin says on account of COM
munication they published, which stated that Arch
bishop Hughes had oficated as Bishop at Gbraita
that he had been inearcerated in the Moorish Castle
for refusing to account for church funds that
he emerged from prison to fly to this country &c.
In reply to this it is stated that the Archbishop
exercised any ecclesiastical function at Gbraltay
never was tried imprisoned there and finally, new
! en- was at Gibralta in his life.
Some wag remarks truly when he says that sthe
popularity in politics is to your name large

who you are, and when the first rain comes you will
