greatest viyacity. They had sent forth from their
ramparts loud shouts of defiance of vi Glory when
the explosion of the French and English magazines
acquainted them of our misfortune; but it was now
our turn to crow for about half three there sud-
denly shot upwards from the works, or rather the
Redan on our front, white liyid fame, which as
cended high into the air, and, while we all paused
TO gaze on the spectacle, sound which made the
very earth tremble beneath u.s. followed by a most
awful report, told us that the Redan had ceased to
exist-for in the next minute its garrison of hun
dreds. blown to atoms dismembered, andmutilated.
by the action ofthe explosion, were discovered hum
dreds of yards above the parent earth. So fearful
and terrifying spectacle never have, nor do l
hope again to witness. In the midst of dense
volume of smoke and sparks, which resembles
waterspout ascending to the clouds, were visible to
the naked eye arms, legs, trunks and heads of the
Russian warriors mingled with cannons, wheels,
and every object of military warfare, and may say
with every living thing which it contained The ex-
plosion in the French and English batteries were
like flashes in the pan of musket compared with
this.

Considerable anxiety is felt in this community
with regard to the action of the Legislature in the
matter of banking capital. So far as we learn
from various sources, there appears to be great
difference of opinion with respect to the amount
necessary to be located here Those connected with
the business of the place and who have had some
practical experience in the matter insisting upon the
necessity of a much larger amount than there
to be disposition to grant. We not aware that
Like internal improvements, it is more influenced
by sectional or local considerations than political
ones. There can be no doubt that among the friends
of the other smaller banks without branches, there
is feeling of opposition against re-chartering the
two principal banks aoith branches; and with the
establishment of the several local banks, like those
of Wadesborough, Charlotte Fayetteville etc., the
feeling has gained accession of strength, and con-
tinues to grow. -
Not wishing to take part in the discussion of this
matter at the present time, we content ourselves
stence of pressing demand for increased facilities
at this point Within period of time, during which
the trade and business of the place has quadrupled,
the addition to the Banking Capital has only been
some three hundred thousand dollars. While the
demand has increased at least Jour hundred per cent
the supply has only increased about thirty-three
per cent. Without more facilities much of the ad-
vautages expected to be derived from the Manches-
ter Road must be seriously jeopardized We do
to proper understanding of the case, we would
then be under no anxiety in regard to the result of
its deliberations. We ask for no extra iberalty,
but only that the capital ready to come here may
be allowed to do so. Charter the proper amount
here and capital will come in the way of subscrip
tons to the Stock, and new impetus given to the

THREE DAYS LATER FROM EUROPE

New YORK, Dec. The Cunard steamer Africa,
from Liverpool at o'clock morning of Saturday,
the 18th November, arrived last evening.
The news from Sebastopol is of highly interest
ing the advices are but very lit
tie later.
Dispatches, both Russian and British, say " the
siege progresses with regularity. Both parties are
in want ofreinforcements- besiegers much more
than the besieged. The Russians, however, begin
to be short of ammunition.
The rapid reduction by battle and disease, of the
Allied force,-now reduced to 50OOO-had caused
great alarm in England and France, and strenuous
efforts were being made to send instant reinforce
ments.
pause seems to have ensued in the field fight
ing before Sebastopol.
Government having taken the Cunard steamer
Niagara to carry troops to the war; there will be
mail from Liverpool to Halifax on Saturday, the 25th
Nov.
Winter was setting in severely and the fleets had
suffered some disasters by gales at sea.
Both houses of Parliament are further prorogued
till December 14th.
Lord Palmerston left London on the 10th for Paris
He was accompanied by his wife.
Some say he is commissioned to arrange the rees-
tablishment Of the Kingdom of Poland others as
sert that his main business is to prevent the United
States from absorbing Cuba, Hayti, the Sandwich
and other Islands.

An occurrence of the most horrible nature had
occurred. The great Hospital in Sebastopol was
set on fire by the shells of the Allies, and burn
ed to the ground, with all its inmates 900 sick
and wounded.
This frightu circumstance is passed over as quiet
" as possible in the English and French papers, but
it demands the most pointed attention.
1t may be remembered that we published an Eng:
lish story to the effect that Mensehiko hoisted the
hospital flag magazine, which the English di-
rected their fire upon and blew up.
We fear the building thus fred on was really the
hospital. III -z.

A NOBLE SENTIMENT.

Repeated efforts have been made by the Chinese
government through many years to suppress the
traffic in opium. All the means of prevention which
the Emperor could bring to bear upon the subject
had been found Intellectual. In 1874, effort was
made by interested parties, to induce the Emperor
to legalize the traffic. when he recorded his decision
in these words, worthy of perpetual remembrance:

The mail from Raleigh eastward, by badly ar
ranged schedule is made to pass over the entire
length of the Seaboard and Roanoke Railroad to
Norfolk, rest there all night and come out on the

selves and the press do not fit to demonstrate

for year past an occupant of our jail and whowas
convicted at the late term of Greene Co. Superior
Court for the murder of Charles FARRELL, has been
reprieved by the Governor. He is an old man, and
has wife and children who are, doubtless, filed
with joy at the news of his pardon. As for him
self, we hope he will use his life, which has now
been given. him, in serving his God and living in
peace among men.-GoLdsboro' Era.
