deny them this morsel of qualification and when
member that the only enjoyment which fate permits
them to have is in anticipating event to hap

not safe to that there were more than 100000
operatives engaged in the wolen trade and 125 900 in
the worsed trade, making 275,000 together while the
total number of persons directly dependent upon the
trade might be set down at 837 800 Including the
workers. there being larger number of dependent work
auxiliary trades than in connection with any 9th
er manufacture, cotton and silk being wholly i'm
ported and flax very nearly The wages of those
gagged in the wooden manufacture would average Us Cd
week for each man. woman, and child, making for the
100000 workers 948 600 year. The annual value
of the woollen manufacture of the Kingdom might be
thus stated, and certainly with the reliance that the fig

E11zABErHTowN, Bladen Co., Nov 2.
have lust heard of horrid affair and outrage
mtted in this county, about 20 miles below this place
The facts as heard them are follows company OF
Young men, five in number, in drunken spree last
Tuesday night went to the house of very poor of
the name of Baker, and went ill., apparently friendly,
when one of the crowd threw pail of water on the fire
and put it out leaving thu all in total darkness. One
Of them then threw Bakers wife on the floor with great
violence The poor fellow seized one of his two little
children his wife sprngng up took the other and they
ran towards the house of his old father, distance OF
three or four hundred yards bnt they overtaken
and Baker was most cruelty whipped, after throwing
him upon the ground and choking him until lie could not
call for help They then left him, and he went to his
fathers On arriving there, his mother told him his
house was on fire, and ook back he saw it in a
light blaze and every thing the poor fellow had in the
world was destroyed. The same lawless crowd then
went to the house of his brother another Baker and
broke open his door, knocked down his wife, tore off his
shirt and the whole family off the place His house
and every thing in it was also burnt.
The Bakers were remarkably harmless and inofensive
men, There is great sympathy for them in their neigh
borhood.
An old free negro by the name of Young and his
wife, who live close by the Bakers, also most
cruelty beaten and nearly all their household furniture
destroyed 1t is generally believed this too was the
work of the same lawless rioters.
Three of the rascas have been arrested and two have
made their escape.

The Approaching Methodist confsrence-A stcsm


The annual Conference of the Methodist Episcopal
Church of North Carolina is to assemble in Newbern
early in December, and we fear that some of those
unpleasant scenes which characterized the last Confer
ence at Goldsboro to be enacted again here
We learn from good authority that one Dr. Carter
the doctor in his case we beive is b0gS-a member OF
the Conference has preferred charges against Dr. Deems
and that he will be arragned and have to defend himself
at the next meeting of the Conference.
Now of Church quarrels and Sectarian anlmoses and
chickering's know nothing an3 less but we think
that it requires but little perception to see through this
war upon Deems. Whether the charges be preferred
by Dr. Carter DIR. anybody ese it matters not, 1t all
resolves itself into this 1t is Dr. Smith Dr. Deems.
Dr. Carter and the other Doctors and brothers only
the mouth pieces or more properly the tools of Smith,
and all belong to that Virginia wing OF the North Caro-
lima Conference who have forgiven Deems for the
brilliant victory which he gained over Smith, in Peters
burg, few years ago. They may prosecute HIM as much
as they please and continue to prefer charges but the
more they endeavor to traduce him the higher will he
rise and when Dr. Carter and other DOCTORS who have
endeavoued to elevate themselves by abusing Deems and
licking Smiths boots, shall have passed into obllvous
forgetfuness, DR.. DEEMS will stand unsulled, one
of the brightest ornaments that adorned the M. H.
Church during the 10th century.
1t has been good fortune to know DR.. Deems and
while those who know know that we don't take on
much about preachers of any denomination, we know
him to be heightened gentleman. We have known
him and heard him preach occasionally for the last Ut
of the meak and owly Jesus His friends need not fear
in any contest between Dr. Deems and Doctor Carter
it will be easy to be determine who will gain the vlcto
ry AS for ourse we would much prefer that the Con
ference pass off peace whether its members can exhb
it brothe1ly kindness to each other not
Nearbern Daily Progress.
Of DR.. Garter we know nothing. DR.. Deems we have
had business intercourse with-have heard him preach
have marked his daily walk and conversation fol
years, and truly say that, in all things he has
borne himself as a quiet, unobtrusive Christian
gentleman. He is known and admired as 6
scholar and a man of genius-an ornament
to the State and to the Church to which he belongs
We regret exceeding the existence Of the unfortunate
difficulties referred to, which, however not strictly
cognizabe in the columns of a secular paper.

pa Stoterfort, Sons & Co.'S Liverpool Circular
says of European crops
:" Our grain crops are now all secured. Wheat is a
full average crop, if not more and in addition farm
ers have still large stocks Of old grain on hand In
France the crops have also been good In Spain and
Portugal they deficient which necessitates foreign
imports. In Germany they are under an average In
the Black Sea and Danubian localities they are but
moderate In the United States they appear to have
been far from abundant For the present prices abroad
are higher than here and imports will thus be prevented
for time but ultimately shall require foreign sup
plies, for imports during the last Y months, with
large crop of our own, amounted to 100000 quarters
of wheat and equal to two millions barrels of -four The
crop of barley is but very moderate one that of oats
under average and those Of beans and peas de-
cidedly bad Potato is very large crop complaints
heard tine ago of their being extensively dis
eased but of late have heard much less about it..
The root crops have improved much from the late rains
this is'of great Importance, feeding stuff has been
much too high for a considerable time
