IMPORTANT AND VALUABLE WoRKs.-We invite at
tenton to the advertisement Of Messrs. D. Appleton
& Co., in paper to- day, of several valuable
works, for which their Agent, now in the City, is
receiving subscriptions. These works are, first,
"An Abridgment of the Debates of Congress, from
1889 to 1885," by Hon. Thomas H. Benton; second,
"The New American Cyclopedia; )" third, specimens
of "American Eloquence."
This abrdgment Of the Debates by Mr. Benton,
will be an invaluable work to every public man in
the country. The Debates, with the proceedings OF
Congress from 1889 to 1885, all brought within
fifteen volumes.
The "New American Cyclopedia," is the latest, as
it promises to be the best of works of this kind.

choice extracts from Calhoun, Clay, Webster, and
others, with fine likenesses of number OF dst'n-
guished orators.

Mr.. CoNIGLAND's LEcrrRE.-Tne Lecture before
the Roanoke Literary Society on Saturday last, we
are pleased to say, was better attended than some
others recently and attended too by appreciatve
audience an audience desirous of being informed,
and capable of understanding the merits of com
position. Such an audience are happy to say,
has given an unqualified appreciation of Mr.. Cong
lands Lecture. 1t is worth while for us to add but
little after the verdict of such audience, especial
ly in view Of the fact, that Mr.. Conigland at the
earnest request Of number of those who were
present. has kindly consented to furnish his lecture
for publication. The subject chosen by the lectur-
er in this instance it strikes us, in better taste,
and more in harmony with the design of our Society
than any heretofore delivered.
The subject of the lecturer, Literary progress, or
the progress of Literature venture to say in ac-
cordance with the general opinion, was most happi-
y treated. The lecturer took occasion in the course
of his remarks to introduce an occasional anecdote
illustrative of the peculiar manners, and mode OF
thought of certain portions of our populaon which
for their racy originality well as for the rich and
peculiar style OF Illustration, could hardly be sur
passed. We find ourscf however, unintentionally
running into analysis of this lecture, which for
reasons stated above, we had not intended to do.
So we will say no more at present. except to re.
commend it to the careful consideration OF all, and
to add further that to every capable of appre.
ciating literary production, it will afford rich and
delightful repast.- Weldon Patriot.

"With the exception of North Carolina Virginia
and South. Carolina. the Democratic States OF the
Union interpose no objections to distribution "-heg'
ister
Simply because except in the above States and
one or two others, no one advocates distribution
1t is humbug too glaring and too monstrous to be
resorted to when any thing else can be found 1t is
only among small factions in few of the States that
distribution is mooted and then only as last resort
merely because there is nothing else to give hope
of resurrection from that political death which has
sealed the eyes of all opponents of the great Demo-
cratic party of the South.
