JOSEPHUS LATHAM,
K~inston, N. G.

LY~NCHBURG, April 2.-Passengers by the
Western cars this evening, bring inteili gence
of a horrible affair that occurredi in Wythevi.le,
Va, on Saturday night last, the circumstances
of which are as follows: A man named James
A. Graham walked into the Wythvilie Hotel,
where several persons were sitting, drew a
revolver, and in a very deliberate manner, fired
upon Messrs. w. H. Spiiler, G.. Trigg, and
Mr.. Terry, each load taking effect and woun-
ding all three slightly. Mr.. Spiller, (anG old
and crippled gentleman, managed to get out
of the house, and being unable to proceed
farther, lay down upon the pavement when
Graham, on leaving the house, observed him,
and stepped up and shot him through the
head, killing him instantly Mot satisfied
with the bloody work he had performed, Ora
nam, with a fend-like spirit, also shot a Mr.,
Cox, an employee of the hotel, who is said to
be in a critical situation from the effects of the
wound.
The murderer then fed, and has thus fan
el1ded arrest. A very large reward has been
offered for his capture.
The greatest excitement prevails here with
regard to this bloody transaction, and var ious
rumors are in circulation as to the cause which
instigated it. 1t is currently reported that i
was occasioned by disappointment in love-
Mr.. Spiller was a respectable and wealthy citi
zen, and great indignation is felt against thu
being who thus deliberately imbrued his hand.
in the blood OF an aged and inoffensiye man.

FOR THE SPIRIT OF THE AGE,
Home.

"The spot of earth supremely blest,
A dearer, sweeter spot than all the rest"
Is there another word in our language
which sends such a thrill of bliss through
the human heart! At the mention of this
little word what joy, what pleasures, what
dear associations fit DER the memory-all
that is sacred AMI dear in life is known and
felt in that word, home. How the absentone
pines for the best, ~congenial atmosphere of
the dear, sacred spot how the parted bride
clings to her wonted homeland with what
melancholy pleasure the sailor boy thinks of
his loved and native home when DER the glad
waters of the dark blue seq, rocked by eve
ry passing billow, and :lulleH by the enchan-
ted music of the sea breeze he sleeps to dream
of country and friends, and slumbering MUIR
murs of home, sweet, home Moore has
sung, there's nothing half so sweet in life
as loves young dream truly there's moth
ing half so sweet in life as ones oon home.
When careworn and vexed with life's tolls,
where does the strong man seek for repose
and happiness? And, where, after all else
has ceased to interest or amuse, and our
hopes and affections are thrown back upon
themselves, where do we look for an object
on which to lavish our hearts tribute of af
lection, where, but to the sacred altar O
home ? Degenerate and unnatural, indeed
must that heart be, whose memory does no
thrill with joy and blissful associations a
the recollections of their sacred homes
The outcast and wanderer Of earth has ye
enough of human feeling to shed a tear o
sorrow and regret at the mention of his child
hoods home, and better days. Our home
tits the sacred spot where all our hopes an
fears, our joys and sorrows alike are center
ed: the world has no pleasures to compar
with, fame, enown and glory no boon to be
stow, halfso sweet, as the joys of home.

" We've scotch'd the snake, not kilPd it,
She'll close. and be herself; while our poor malice
Remains in danger of her former TOOTH"
Three years ago, in every part of the State,
the war cry against Rum, rang from every
hil-from every field and plain. Between
three and four hundred Division rooms were
crowded with valiant brothers eager to crush
out the mammoth Plague from our borders
and redeem the State from an Accusing
traffic. A struggle was made, and we suf-
fered ourselves to be repulsed by a feeble
Legislature. And then, to a great extent,
there was a grounding of arms! Since that
time there has been but a feeble skirmish
kept up. Too many were content with mere
" " scotching the snake" Why is it so p
Why should we cease our efforts while in
other States the work goes on bravely2 All
around US the deep tread of States is heard
following the war cry of Truth. Why should
we despond? The incentives to labor for
the triumph of the reform is as great now as
ever. The monster still strides madly on
over homes and happiness, leaving in his
wake the shattered wrecks of all that is dear
to the heart. The wall of widowhood, the
cry of o~rphanage and the shrek of madness
yet startle the silence of midnight in town,
cities and hamlets. Has our ears grown dull
of hearing? Our eyes blind Our moral
sensibilities less ACUTE? Have we determined
to do nothing more, ana sit down and sigh
over the debris of our fellowmen that mark
the pathway of the monster? God forefend!
Courage, brothers, steady! Let the bugle
notes wind from every hill that the clans
may gather. Let us add new links to the
mystic chain. Once for all, and for aye, let
us open the campaign in earnest and rally to
the polls. Face the foe with a full culver,
and soon the battle axes of a shouting host
will ring OIL the pillars of the temple of Rum.

Dependency.

This is a hard world to travel through"
So says a poor nincompoop and, man
alive what an ugly face he makes! As full
of wrinkles as a withered apple and colored
like bad butter. GA hard world" is it, min
ny? Well, it ought to be hard to you your
path should be full of thistles and rolling
stones, to thistle your feet and bruise your
shins. Who cares for your whining and car
ping about imaginary troubles? Men of
the right grit will only laugh at you and
pray for more vexations to be sent upon you.
Don't expect sympathy for your l~aziness +;
for you don't deserve it.
Up and at your troubles! Undouble your
bones-get out of the weeds and smooth your
crabapple face of it's abominable Wrinkles
Grasp the weapon and hew out a new path to-
wards prosperity. Be strong in your suffer-
ings. Scorn the word fail. Let need drive
you through rough places, and prove your
self a man.
Why groan beneath imaginary troubles
The brain should not be tortured with gloomy
forebodings for the sun shines for us all,
and behind the cloud that frightens us, 10
the cheering bow beams brightly and full Of
promise.

Mr.. EDITOR: Not long since I purchased
a recipe for making GOOD INK and having
manufactured some, found it cost only a few
cents per gallon lit will cost 3 cts, per gall
and was made within FIVE or ten minutes !!
I then sent to the inventor and procured the
right to sell the recipes. But instead of
charging one dollar (the amount I paid for
the recipe alone) l now offer it to any per-
son for twenty-five cents! Will not Carroll
mans avail themselves of this opportunity of
saving many a dime spent for northern ink.
l will also send q recipe for making a sALvE
which is perhaps one of the best things in
the world for any kind of sore, especially
that painful kind called q "6ile" and is a
present cure for sore legs. The materials
for the ink and salve can be easily procired
ca A single quarter dollar can be sent in
safety by mail.

DaS% EvERYwHERE-East, west, north and
south-the footsteps of Rum are marked
with blood and hopes in wreck. The debris
of a mind and shattered humanity rot on
every shore where the monster has fingered.
In spite of the efforts of the moral s~uasion-
ists,' recently so elOquently advocated by the
demons allied powers in the Legislature,
dealers continue to plytheir% licensed engines,
and people continue to die in the mania of
their cups. Thousands, in every land, fall
before the bold invader, and the slaughter
goes on bravely at our own doors until the
world is made a wide spread Crimea of car
mage. Human life is weighed in the balan-
ces with the rumseller's till, and Immortality
goes down like the bubbles on the stream
yet, when an effort is made to arrest the
maddened sweep of this damning tide, the
filth of the slaughter pens boil over with
threats and denunciations. Men, claiming
responsibility, strike hands with rum and
swear that the right to beggar the helpless
and finally damn their fellowmen, shall not
be 'relinquished' without a struggle!
We would rejoice to face RUNS allies with
a full culver.
