the mail wagons start at the same time from St.

One of the Lost on the Austria.

We copy the following touching paragraphs from
the last Newbern Daily Progress. While at Beau
fort in August last visited the cemetery in that
place, and were shown the grave Of Capt. Wulf
Turning to New York paper of September 81, we
find among the names of the lost that CT {" Hiss
Helene Wult, Copenhagen" She was one of the
cabin passengers The Progress has done justice
to her sistery affection and her amable and love-
ly character:
zone OF TIE PASSENGERS LOST ON THE AUSTRIA
Some of our citizens will recollect that three or four
years ago. q Danish officer of high rank accompani-
ed by his sister, young lovely and most amiable
lady, we're on visit to Beaufort. The officer
in bad health, and travelling in quest of some
climate that would restore sh ,ttcred constitution,
and the sister whose affection for her brother
all the destinations and aurements of the most
refined society OF Europe accompanied him TO cheer
him in his dependency and to administer 10 him IN
his Affections.
AT Beaufort he sickened and died, and left her his
guardian angel on earth, alone far from home friends
and kindred. After seeing his remains deposited in
the EARTH and after sprink'ing the fresh mound
his last resting place, with the tears of sistery
affection, she left for her home in Denmark. After
her arrival home she sent beautiful monument with
instructions to have it placed above the brothers
grave at Beaufort, which instructions were carried
out, and We are told that it stands the
earthly remains Of the strangers grave, one Of the
handsomest monuments in the State, with this in
scription
"sAcKED TO THE BLESSED MEMORY OF CHRISTIAN
wULF."
What noble attributes must have characterized that
pure being, who, while her brother lived, devoted
herself entirely to him, and who after his death, ex-
hibited such holy veneration for his memory.
Since her return to Europe she has held, We
learn, frequent correspondence with parties in
Beaufort, and that she only awaiting the com
pletion of the Atlantic and North Carolina Railroad
that she might visit this country for the purpose of
again believing brothers grave with tears of afec

completion Of the Road, and took passage in the

SUCCESS OF THE STEAM PLouGH.-The State Board
Of Agriculture of Illinois offered premium of
$4,000 for steam ploughs. 1t was expected that
three different inventions would be exhibited and
tested at the State Fair, but only one was on the
ground. That Fawke's locomotive steam
plough, Lancaster, Pa, which excited great interest
among the prairie farmers, and performed well.
The machine and apparatus, with fuel and water,
weighs only about seven tons, and by the use Of
drum elshaped driver for propelling the To-
connective the difficulty of miring in soft soil and
slipping on hard, smooth ground is overcome. The
steam plough is easily managed and is described as
a cross between locomotive and a tender, combin-
ing the essential elements of both, mounted on two
guiding wheels and huge roller. The prairie
ground on which it was tried was baked as hard
nearly brick. but the engine turned six burrows
side by side in the most workmanlike manner. The
excitement of the crowd was beyond control, and
their shouts and wild huzzas echoed far over the
prairie.
FREIGHTs-Just as we are going to press the
merchant who furnished some weeks ago with
statement about the amount of freight paid on Ba-
con between this place and New York, via Newbern
and via Charleston, informs that he has found
out through the Agent Of the n. c. Road, that he
paid portion of the bill twice ($l7 6O), which
duces the difference against the Newbern route to
So TO- 1t appears that portion of the bill COL
leccd by two differents agents. We make this state
ment with pleasure, as we have not the least desire
to affect, in an injurious manner, the transportation
business on the Newbern route: and we feel certain
that none of our merchants have such disposition,
for they have recently been disposed to give that
route trial. We hope some will yet be able to
explain the s. 20 difference still remaining
Democrat.
MURDERER ARREsTEp.-Jonas Brantley and Carson
Pucket were arrested in this city on Monday MORN
ing last by Sheriff High. Brantley is the man who
killed man named Perry in an ARRAY at an election
precinct in Nash county, the 9Th of August last,
an account of which was published in the Register
at the time, and who has euded all efforts to arrest
him until the present time.
1t is not known that Pucket has been guilty Of
any misdemeanor, but he in company with
Brantley at the time of his arrest and failing to give
satisfactory account of himself, was committed
until an investigation could be Lad. Both he and
Brantley were armed with double barrelled guns and
rifles, and were on their way when arrested to the
Central Depot, where they intended taking the cars
but for what place we did not Granddaughter.

Cy-John Young, of the Wcstfeld Argus,
tells some awful stories. Here is his last
attempt: ''Some of our younger male read,
ers may have heard of 'brandy that kills at
so rods' An anecdote told US the other
day disclosed the fact Of compound, call
ed whisky, considerably more certan in its
effects. Charley L, attending. dance
one evening, feeling in first rate spirits, got
his keg pretty full Of 'ardent,' and finally
retired to the privacy of an arm chair,
where he sat comfortable, 'cornered,' and
pretty much incapable of locomotion. just
then IL, came along, and seeing his state,
addressed him with: whats the matter
Charley? Laid out, eh?' 'An entire mis-
take; didn't take morn thimble full, 'hic-
coughe Charley; wanted 50 rod whiskey,
and the cussed fool gave me 'instantef.' "

CY-A funny story is told of a man who
stole fve-dollar bill out in Indiana. In
order to lessen the crime, his counsel en-
deavored to prove that the note was not
worth Eve dollars, it being at discount.
The prosecutor said he knew the prisoner
was the nleanest man in the State, but he
did no. think he was so all fred mean as
to steal Indiana money at par.
