INCREASE OF FREIGHT.-We are pleas
ed to learn that the amount of merchan-
disc shipped from our city by the Sea-
board and Roanoke rail road is on the
increase. For several weeks past extra
labor has been required at the depot, in
loading cars. From eight to ten cars of
merchandise is sent off to different parts
of Carolina every day. We are gratifed
to know that our merchants are doing a
large and good business. That their
sales will reach more this, than at any
former season. We have no doubt that
the high rates of exchange at the North,
and the heavy discount on Carolina mo-
ney, has very materially benefited the
trade Of Norfolk. Many persons who
have heretofore made their purchases
North of Mason & Dickson's line, find it
to their interest to purchase in our city.
The merchants here can and will sell as
cheap and on as accommodating terms as
those in the Northern cities.

BLACK REPUBLICAN NOMINATIONS. At

by the Republicans, Hon. Edward Stanley,
of San Francisco, was nominated for Gov.
ernor, and ID. w. Cheesman, Of Oroville, for
Lieut.. Governor. T. b. Murdoch, of San
Jose, is the nominee for State Printer. The
other Offices are pretty equally divided
among gentlemen in the different portions
of the State. 1t is doubtless, o mighty
easy thing to obtain nominations at the
hands of the Uuion Siders, but it is a heap
easier to beat them with straight out
