Several OF The members Of the Virginia Confer.
ence TO xit: Messrs. Doxget, bee, Benueft. Lang
horne, Edwards, Carter, Rosser and Michaels,
have passed through this place on their way to
Nashville, Tenn 10 attend the session OF the Gen
eral Conference, which convsnes on Monday next
IL 10 anticipated that the session will be loug
and exciting one. The fact ID, the preachers have
noticed the occasional uproarious doings 10 Coz
gress and among politicians, untii they have caught
little Of the spirit themselves, and are going
ahead with IL.
1t IL rumored to-day that Hon. Duncan Il. Nc
Rae, late American Consul at Paris. has announced
himself m independent Democratic candidate tor
Governor of North Carolina, In opposition to
Judge Ellis, the regular nominee OF the Democrat
10 party. cannot cay that believe the rnnof
as yet, though it may be correct. Judge Ella has
made bic appointments for addressing tho people
during the month Of May, aud will commence the
campaign In Unssn county on the 10th, and thence
proceed eastward. 1t is a great pity canyasssng
cannot be abolished BY the time man goes
through so counties and makes \ speech in each
one of theru, he 10 pretty generally worn down,
and has been at greater outlay Of money than the
salary Of the Office will justify. Tho system 10 q
bad one, and ought to be abolished everywhere.
The travel Ia very light now on the different
railroads. terminating this place, land there
-four, J but as soon the weather begins to get
warm down South, they will flock Northward, like
bees around the first budding rosebush. THE
sInuo 10 Daa one. know, out uont ilke TO say
like turkey buzzards around dead horse.)
Most of the schedules on the different railroads
are arranged now, that traveller meets with
no detention going either North or South. Per-
sons have choice of parallel lines all over the
country. Yen know IL is 80 n Virginia, and here
In North Carolins 1t IL equally SO. Two men may
start South from this place at quarter before Il
In the day, and ons take the route via Whining
ton, and the other via Raleigh and Columbia, and
they meet at Kingsvile, aud arrive in Augusta or
Charleston together. Not so, however, at night,
for though the for Raleigh and those for Will
mingtoD leave here at the same hour, Ga quarter
to 0 p. M those via Wilmington go directly
through without detention, while those via Ra,
leigh are detained about five hours in Raleigh aud
aim at no through connection. These schedules
ought to be arranged for both the trains, SO that
the passenger by either will go directly through,
for no one cares to be stopping on the way when
once he has started
s'May Day" will be usbered in tomorrow, with
out any unusual noise or hustle In this place
The fact ia, the fair sex all hard at work for a
Fair they intend holding here on the oath and 18th
of May, for the benefit of the Roanoke Literary
Society, and from what I see going on, / am fully
prepared to believe it will be grand and glorious
affair for our little burg Come out, send some
bachelor of your team, and I'll wager a two prong
jews-harp they'll ''put him through"
