General Cary

Passed through this City, on his way home,
last week. We had an opportunity of being
with him only a few hours. lie was in fine
health and highly pleased with the success
that had attended his philanthropic efforts,
and with the uniform attention and kind
ness extended to him wherever he has been.
The accounts we have heretofore published,
and which are contained in this paper, show
the great amount of ~goodhehas accomplished
Let every friend of the cause read and re.
joice at the encouraging signs.
1t is proposed, in order to get Gen. Cary
to thoroughly canvass the State, and that {
claim upon his services, may be felt and re
cognized, that a fund lie raised, to compen
safe for his labors. 1t is unnecessary t.
dwell upon this proposition now, as it is no
certain when he could again visit ms, or if a
all. In the meantime, however, each Count,
might respond as quickly as possible as t
what amount it would be pledged for, prov
ded he does come, so that some data may u
arrived at as to all other preliminarics. Il
all speak quick and to the point.
The friends of cur Reform must awak
from their lethargy, or much of the vantae
ground we had gained will be lost. An
while we have always advocated the emplo,
ment of Lecturers, and do still. yet we tru
we will be pardoned for limiting that IL

Umbrage Taken.

A Jew weeks ago we took occasion to la
ment the fact that the Town Commissioners
OF Newborn and the County Court Of Craven
had receded from q high position occupied
Tor several months previous, in refusing il
censeS to retailers of ardent spirits in New
bern. We also alluded TO the fact tnat ona
OF the Hotel keepers had refused to take out
license aud open IA Bar, and regretted that
the other Hotel had not Gone the same and
remarked that the order and decorum of nm
licensed Hotels should commend them to tbo
quiet, sober portion Of the public. Mr.. Hall
the Proprietor OF the Castor House i
out in a lenghthy Card in the "Newbcrn
News" complaining of cur noticing tho
matter at all, and charging US with an in
tentIon to injure him in his business. He
asks But what has the Editor of tho
Age to do with Newborn, its Commissioners
It's County Court, and moro particularly with
Its Hotels and their prop?ietors." Some
months since we spoke in high terms Of ali
these, on account OF the elevated position
they had taken on the license Issue. Opr
prerogative was not called in question then.
We have, editorially and through Cores
pondents, spoken in the Age in complimon-
tary terms of the CASTOR House, when il had
no Bar, and no complaint was hen made Of
US.
we beg leave to say, in conclusion. that
we meant no personal u%nkindness to tho pr
prleter of the "Gaston House"-nor wua

by one OF the members, after thew had dened
that each should entertain the comnanvwitb

In his dream he went to heaven. and he nro-
ceeded to relate what he saw there descr;-

as he concluded, one of the divines, who was
somewhat noted for his penurious and money

one.who were obliged to yield their oppo-

that the cause of Prohibition in this county
