On the "Black Pamphlet" in his Speech at Zoos
ter, Ohio, on the 18Th, September.
The reports published of Senator Douglas speech
at Wooster, Ohio, have so far been very incomplete
We publish below revised report of that portion
of it which had reference to the BLACK Pamphlet
The pamphlet in question came into the hands of
Senator Douglas but few moments before he COM
menced his address to the Democracy at Wooster,
and at that time its authorship was unknown. 1t
is only within few days that it has been authorize
lively asserted coming from the pen of the pres
ent Attorney General of the United States.

THE WILSON SCHOOLS
For Young Ladies and Gentlemen,
BY MR.. AND MRS. RIcu

BY Mr.. AND MRS. RICHARDSON,
Aided By Full Corps Of assistant Teachers.
THE exercises of the ensuing scholastic year
will be resumed on Thursday, the first day of
September. Applicants examined for admission
and classification on Thursday and Friday, when
all should be present who contemplate pursuing
a Regular Course of Study. A Gymnastic De-
p%artment will be added to the Male School the

the great universal need of all Institutions of Lear~
ming, namely Regular Physical training. Among
the numerous exercises of this Department, de-
signed to please II well as to benefit, are the
small and broad bkord exercises, infantry drill,
upright and parallel bars, &c. Mr.. E. Prentiss
Tucke, Mathematics, Practical Surveying and
Civil Engineering will. superintend this Depart
ment. He will also give instruction in the use of
the Compass, Transit, Theodlite and Leevle al
so in plotting Surveys, Profile making and the
estimate of earth-work and masonry. A Calls
thenic Department will also be added to the Sem
mary to correspond to the Gymnasium. 1t is
designed by the friends of the Institution to lay
the foundation of a. POLYTECHNIC SCHOOL
for young gentlemen, and to establish beyond con-
tingency a school for young ladies, in which
after the completion of a Regular Course in
our own, or in other Institutions, they can be
taught the FINE ARTS as a speciality. To this
end vigorous plans are in operation, and bull
dings are in the process of erection, which in all
their arrangements, furnishing, and appointments
are to be of the first order; and especially design
bed for the purpose. The male and Female De.
partments separate. Sectarianism theoretically
and practical excluded. For the plan of the
Schools in full, address at Wilson, N. c.,

WHO WANTS TO MAKE MONEY

AVlNG engaged in other business that re-
IL quires my personal attention, 1 will lease
on very favorable terms, my Store House at Cary,
. miles west of Raleigh, on the N. c. Rail Road.
This situation possesses every advantage for con-
Quoting a large barter trade, it being the point
where a large portion of the Flour and other pro.
duce OF Wake and Chatham reaches the Rail
Road. The House is 81 by A feet, with 8 con-
v%enlently arranged rooms below and Masonic
Hall above. There is also a good turnout and
warehouse at the Rail Road, a daily mail, all to-
gether %afording every facility for a large business.
orif desired by the right kind of a man, one
who would make a good neighbor and not sell
whlskey, [ would sell $50 acres of land with the
Store House, on which is two or three beautiful
building sites near the Rail Road.
L would also sell on terms that would Q able an
enterprlsing man to make so per cent. on his pur-
chase, my new Saw and Grist Mills, situated 81
miles from the Rail Road and s from Raleigh.
Ihey are new, having been built within the last
~ months. Timber in abundance near by. The
Saw will easily cut 5000 feet per day, and never
stops for an oVerabundance nor for want of water;
IN other words it never dries, nor browns.
Call on me at Cary soon, or lose a bargain.

of the Committee IN Colportage, belonging
to our Grand Division, to state, that Tract
No. l, Of the series of North Carolina Tracts,
is now ready for distribution. The low price
Of 81 per hundred is fixed for them, which
does not cover the expense of ~printing-but
will help raise a fund for publishing other
Tracts and we hope to have quite a mum
Der especially suited to North Carolina be-
fore the year closes. The Tract now ready
is addressed to the Magistrates concerning
Licensing Retail Shops, and ought to have q
wide circulation. 1t can be had of the Grand
Scribe, at Raleigh; or Rich'd Sterling, al

Saved! Saved!

There is a world of joy shut up in that lit
tie word, saved! How many a dawn Of rich
and golden beauty for the soul has it ushered
in, after gloomy nights of deferred hope and
anxious watching! 1t is always a sweet
word to hear-a sweeter word toispeak. So
full Of happy music when the lips utter it
so full of happier meaning when the heart
feels il. The voice never breathes it, but the
face becomes radiant with JOY, and the eye
sparkles with delight. Every chord of the
heart vibrates with inexpressible pleasure, as
its music falls upon the ear long waiting in
anxious expectation.
IL has n history Of its own, written in the
mingled experience of sorrow and joy of
many a soul. Few there are who have not ut
tered il in more or less Of ~fullness of it's
meaning few through whose soul it has not
sent a thrill of delight, filling it too full for
utterance. Sound it out in the stiffness of
night, and some aching heart will take it up,
and send it joyfully back again through the
gloom and darkness. Whisper it ever so
softly, and there will be some soul that can
not contain itself for very joy. 1t is the av-
enue through which the soul breathes out
its OVERLOOKING gratitude. Its whole express
sion is that of thankfulness.
Saved and from what? All from a life
of intemperance, of misery, Of crime, of deg
radiation, of shame, ofinfamy, and from death,
If you have known, kind reader, what it is tc
have had the dear object of your hearts best
affections, snatched from any of these calami
ties, you have found no word that could Sc
fifty express the outgushing thakfulness o
your heart, as that little word, Saved.

For the Spirit of the Age.
Hookerton Division, s, Oft. No. 70.

Mr.. EDITOR This Division has been long
toiling against the battled host Of Bacchus. 1t
has stood firm, u~nchanging and persevering,
amid the bitter shouts and boasts of the
drunken rebels, whose countenances are now
colored with the tints Of destruction. This
Division now stands as a shining light to the
people; and there are many who were once
sinking into poverty's dark and gloomy vale
Of sorrow, but have now signed the pledge of
safety, and their homes are made happy
their families are now living in comfort-their
children are blessed and rejoicing at the
smiles of a fathers love and the kindness of
n mothers affections. We can, with pleas
ure, say we arc gaining strength and our
cause is becoming more interesting and beau
tiful.
We had a celebration on the 18th ult ,
that surpassed in beauty and excellence any
| have ever witnessed. In the morning at
0 o'clock, the Division met, there was quite a
large number in attendance, and among them
were many beautiful young ladies, whose
smiles and charming looks contributed much
to our glorious meeting; and we had the
great pleasure Of receiving into our circle
eleven new members, seven of whom were
ladies. May their good influence spread over
the whole community, and every soul be
made TO rise from their destructive course
and follow the banner Of Temperance.
After the business of the day was transact,
cd, we marched-double-fle, ladies in front
to the Female Academy, where we listened
to a most eloquent and interesting speech
from Rev. Joel w. Tucker, who, | think, die
much good for the D~ivision-and long may
the ideas shown forth in his address be re
tanned in the memory ofall who heard them
His speech presented the ruinous course o
the drunkard, and the bad influence of tn,
moderate driuker-while on the other hand
he spoke in the glorious defense Of our Orde
and the great influence Of the mothers an
daughters of our country.
After the minds of the audience were al
filed with ~eloquenco and poetical visions
and all seemed to rejoice with a full feast o
reason and a flow Of soul" the crowd retired
beneath the cooling shade of a beautiful
grove, where a dinner of Barbecues was pre-
pared for the company. The aged, tn
young, parents, children and all, made then
slves busy for a time, satiating their app'
tites, while the gentle zephyrs of Summe
seemed to whisper in their ears-pleasnr'
comfort and happiness lie within the Ten
perance circle.
We had Il most glorious time, and a
hearts seemed to be made glad and cheerft
with the passing scenes of the day. And l
conclusion, Mr.. Editor, | think Hookerto
Division to be one among the worthy II
members are energetic, and determined I
fight against the army of Alcohol, till SUI,
cess crown their efforts. l hope you wi
hear from rs again soon. B. T. S.
