cupied by negro man named Fred, belonging to K.
w Gibbs ESQ, found two pairs OF the boots there
Freds house is near Mr. Gibbs MILL above the Will
mington and Weldon R R. There appeared to be no
reason suppose that Fred stole the boots himself but
he denied all knowledge of how they came there, or who

suspicion to two other negroes named Nose and Bill,
who confessed the stealing and further stated that one

"a LONG JEREM1AD."-The Fayetteville OJserUe,
vi yeoSludJ, Iil' '0 " "Ot''
nal of Wednesday last, has long eremiad about the
DanvilIe Connection. We hardly know what the Oh
SefUer means by the words long" and eremiad, we
know that the article Of the Journal is not long, being
considerably under column, including extract
from the Richmond Dispatch nor do we think it has
much of the amentng tone attributed to the prophet
In truth it is plain and brief statement of facts
denSed from different reports of the Railroad Meeting
held at Wentworth week before last
We have this to say however, that the Observer, in
its constant invectve against Wilmington, attributes to
that town things of which she is not at all guilty.
Now that we in North Carolina have no State system
of publ works is not the fault Of Wilmington although
Pit may be her misfortune That the Wilmington &
Weldon Road was not the Wilmington & Raleigh Road,
is not the fault of Wilmington So with many other
things. And as ID personal matter may be per-
mitted to say that it not fault that the Will
mington Charlotte & Rutherford Road did not take a
more central direction, via Fayetteville and the Coal
fields to Salisbury.
1t is no new discovery with us that our SYSTEM il
system it can be called is detective. That due to
petty local jealouses and wrangng and maneuverings
more than anything else. But is that the fault of VIII
mington?
