Speaking Mt the Market House.


In accordance with announcement Messrs. Hail. Vann
and Fenne candidates for the office of Sheriff. address
ed their feow-citizens last evening at the Market
House.
We were present and listened to the speaking which
confirmed us in the opinion that the American people
are nation Of orators not that mean to say that
any great displays of oratory made but simply that
each of the candidates addressed himself to the subject
before him with sefpossession and propriety of Ian
guage and manner which not always found in Con-
gressonal debates Personally, all the gentlemen made
a good impression
Messrs. Hall and Vann are we'll known to our citi-
zens. OF them need say nothing, and indeed it is
hardly necessary for to say anything of Mr. Fennel
for the simple that he is perfectly able to speak
for himself Indeed he bids fair to be one of our most
eloquent speakers know him to be of the clev
crest fellows in the county, This without dsparagement
to his competitors who everybody knows, clever
men.
The discussion passed off in perfect good humor, al
though spced with some pretty sharp shooting in which
give and take " the motto. 1t sort of tri-
angular duel, and nobody kilt
The first Thursday in August will tell the tale We
will bet pretty round that good man will be
elected for Sherif-ghach good man everybody must
find out for himself. DAILY Journal, 2Oh inst.

Census Statistics.

WASHINGTON, July l9.-Joseph C. G. Kennedy,
Esq, having been appointed by the President of the
United States to carry out the act of Congress provd
ing for the completion of the unfinished work of the
seventh census has entered upon the performance of ibis
duties with able corps OF assistants and is busiy en-
gagged in revising and completing the statistics of manu-
acturers in order that the work may be presented
Congress at the commencement of the next session.
These statistics, taken under the direction of Mr.
Kennedy, and nearly completed when he was displaced
from Office WILL when finished, present the most COM
pete exhibit of the condition Of the American mechanic
arts that has ever been prepared These details have
never been published and the interest occasoned by
their appearance will not be limited to our own country
1t is ascertaned from reliable source that about two
years ago treaties made with certain Indians of
Oregon and Washington Territories, including those
who recently fought Col Septoe, and which the Senate
failed to ratify This omission has had the effect to pro-
duce an impression the minds of these Indians of the
absence of good faith the part of the government
the United States.
Several weeksago when the rumored defeat of Colonel
Steptoe reached the city, the Indian Bureau promptly
sent out directions to the United States Indian agent
all available at his disposal for such an
gency to check at once the further spread of hosttes
and to prevent the commission of ourages upon our CT
items.

The New Schedule.

The new schedule on the Wilmington & Weldon, the
Wilmington & Manchester, and other lines south of
them went into operation on the Goth instant This
change is made with view of expeditng the through
mails and passengers saving twelve hours in the running
time between New York and New Orleans. This route
via Wilmington is faster and peasanter, as it has
always been shorter than any other For the DISPOSE
tion we may say determination, of the officers this
line to give the fullest satisfaction can vouch from
our own personal knowledge, and also as to the
character of the rereshment houses and hotels at Sum
tervle Fair Bluff, Wilmington, Goldsboro' and Rocky
Mount We believe they give very good fare also at
Weldon and kingsvile.
Every effort has been made to divert travel from this
route and not without certain of temporary
success But the thing is working itself out, and the
shortest and cheapest line must ressert its superiority
and receive the preference which is due to it.

sag@ Some months SINCE man calling himself De
REVERE and claiming to be lieutenant of Zosaves,
and Crmean hero, made his appearance in New York
and commenced lecturing, but did not succeed. He
went South, and seems to have got along better AT
Mobile he insinuated himself into the good graces of
daughter of Col. Blount, of that city, who, by the
way, is a native of North Carolina. 1t appears
that Mrs Blount favored him, and helped her
daughter to elope, accompanying her. Col. Blount
followed them to Havana-brought his wife and
daughter back to New York. Rieviere followed them.
The mother and daughter again left the protection of the
husband and father, although proof shown that Ri
evere was both married and fugitive from French
Justice. Finally, however, some arrangement would
seem to have been madeRievere goes somewhere, and
the ladies of Col Bounts family go home after having
made fools of themselves for months past about most
unworthy scamp
This is the last of the thing far Some people like
notoriey French Counts and ZoaUeS, and the papers
bestow it them in the absence of any really interest
ing news.

Next Thursday Week.

We are not in the habit of making exciting appeals
or ndulging in ad capGnduml attempts at argument
We have no desire wish or intention to deviate from
orr custom at this time We don't honestly believe
thf There are ten intelligent men in New Hanover
county, or in any other county, within the sphere Of our
knowledge and we pretend to know the different counties
ofN Carolina well as most folks whoreay think that all
the fuss got up about distribution amounts to anything
mere than an electioneering hobby. Why, two years
ago. Mr. Gimer who relied upon the same. party to
support him that Mr. McRae must rely upon anddoesrey
up on did not have word to say about distribution
W make business to know what candidates have to
say In 1856 we went up to Halifax to hear Messrs
Gmer and Bragg as we did to Clinton in 1858 to hear
Messrs McRae and Ellis. Gilmer was all foreigners
and catholics and no distribution is all distri
button and no foreigners and catholics yet they are alike
supported by the opposition. Anything, Good Lord,
so it is opposition, will do for some folks
All the talk about building railroads paying State
debts out of any fund belonging to the federal treasury
which is empty and borrowing, is the badest humbug
ev if it were right and the most unconstitutional and
impotic measure even if it practicable. Nobody
expects anything to be done in that way
Mr. McRae and his organs at the East go it against
taxation at the West he is better internal improve
ment man than Judge Ellis. Mr.. McRae is gooo
Democrat, and an ardent friend of the South; yet
lets slip no occasion to sheer at the Democratic part
ana the Administration Of Mr. Buchanan--an Admin
straton whose perfect fidelity to the South has"brough
even the Charleston Mercury to its enthusiastic support
We need hardly now allude to Mr. McRae's position
on the Danville Connection. That carried out, would
net leave man East of Greensborough willing to vot
one cent for any improvement West of that point. LIE
our Western people think of this. That carried out
would ruin our Eastern works. and cut the State in two
Let us all think of it. Let there be no apathy 20 tt
the polls and vote the straightforward Democratic tick
et We cannot afford to be apathetic.

NGapA correspondent of the Fayetteville Observer
states that there is additional opposition to the regular
Democratic candidates in Sampson. While Thomas I.
Faison, Esq, opposes A. A. McKoy Esq, Democratic
nominee for the Senate, Col G. W. Daughtry is out a.
gainst F. j. Faison and w. Kirby, Jr. the regular
nominees for the Commons
Any division among Democrats plays into the hands
of the opposition. 1t is just what they want. Now,
the only way to avoid giving them any chance to tri
umph u.s. is for all good Democrats to stick to the
nominees and vote the ticket clear through in Sampson

dates.
Now that Mr.. McRae has gone West, and is doing
his biggest to make himself out better Railroad man
than Judge Ellis his Central and Western organs are
laboring to prove that this has been his position all
through the canvass Thus the Register says that Mr.
McRae avowed himself at Clinton in favor of taking
off the section feature in the charter Of the Western n
G. Railroad We can only say that the editor of the
Register sitting in Raleigh, heard avowals which the
editor of the Journal who attentive listener at
Clinton, did not hear
Again the Register talks about the Journals being
mistaken with reference to Judge Ellis position the
section feature of the Western n. G. Railroad. Now
thus stands the matter What Judge Ellis said at
Clinton on this subject reported ir his own words
or as nearly possible.
We have understood Judge Ellis to favour such a
modification of the section feature of the charter of the
Western n G. Railroad as would permit that road to
progress simultaneously both sides of the mountains.
We did not, and do not understand him to favour
abandonment of that feature We do not that there
is anything in our position requiring us to do anything
to get ourselves out of it.

GUMBo SoUP.-Who has not heard of the famous
Gumbo soup of the Southwest and who has ever visited
New Orleans without uxuriating it, and declaring it
the very best soup conceived of? We have often
wondered why it is not generally made throughout the
South, where all the ingredients are easily obtainab
Here is recipe for making it, furnished to the Mobile
Mercury by Mrs. L. FL. Wright
After your chicken is prepared fry it to nice brown
color with red or black pepper and SALT havea
large soup plate full of okra; chop fine throwing away
the heads and tips Of the same, as they are hard Al
ways the long white, it being tender and bet
ter favored than the other kinds stir in this with the
chicken and it will partake of the taste and seasoning of
the chicken. Fry it little and have ready some boiling
water, pouring say three quarts and allow sui
cient quantity to boil away let all boil down until the
chicken becomes perfectly tender that may easily
be torn to pieces with fork. If fried it requires more
pepper and salt, which should be added before it
thoroughly cooked The Gumbo thus made will be very
thick. If you do not like it made in this way do not
boil much, spois all kinds of soups to boil down
and fill up again many co with cold water and be-
sides it is rich. Have rice boiled tender butbe
careful that the grains separate. Of course it is
both wholesome and rich.
