Bishop HUGHEs.-It has already been announ-
ced that Bishop Hughes, of the Roman Catholic
Church. has been selected by the Senior Class of
the N. c. University to preach the Sermon at the
next Commencement. In the University Magazine
we find the correspondence between the committee
of students and the Bishop.
In accepting the appointment, the Bishop wish
es to know if it is to be sermon simply q DIS
course, and says:
.sIf it were be- properly speaking, Sermon,
would take occasion present the constitution and
character of the Catholic Church, just it is, without
any remarks comparison that might be nvidious or
offensive persons of other denominations. think,
however, that if you will accept ola DISCOURSE which
ought to be called a sermon, would, in my ad-
dress call your attention The importance of indi
vidua and heartfelt loyalty to the Constitution and
Laws of ones country
The committee reply that discourse on the
subject mentioned would not be in accordance with
the usages of the University; they want him to
preach their commencement sermon" on any re-
ligious subject he may select, though they suggest
that it is not customary to preach doctrnal SER
mons on such occasions. The Bishop answers that
be is glad to receive the suggestion, that it will en-
able him to prepare such sermon as he hopes
will be acceptable to all and that nothing but sick
ness or death shall prevent him from meeting the
appointment.

"a noise was heard here few minutes ago,
proceeding from the West, which shook things
RIG hit smartly, and caused considerable astonish-
m ent among the people. Wonder if the report
was heard anywhere else, and if so, what produced
it? Probably an earthquake has occurred not far

ALL FuDGE.-The report that two ofGov Wise's Sons,
at Yale College, had been taken by the Abotonists,
and threatened with hanging in the Governor
persisted in the execution of Brown is all hoax,
are also the great majority of rumors in regard to
IIarper's Ferry matters.

WHO Is IT?--Another abolition book, filed
with vile ISLANDERS against the South, has just been
published by Hinton Rowan Helper, who halls
from North Carolina. In the list of contributions
to defray the expense of publishing the book, we
notice that $3.50 is put down as coming from North
Carolina. Who is it in the Old North State that
contributes money to injure the South, her people
and her institutions IF the person or persons
can be found out only time prepare to Gle should
be allowed them. Ii IS time for the southern peo-
pie to erterminate incendidries IN their midst
Helpers book is endorsed and recommended by
the Governor of New York, ex-Judge of the
Supreme Court of that State and by 6S black re-
publican members of Congress Prof Hendrick,
who was driven from Chapel Hill in this State,
also figures prominently in connection with the
book. Tn view of such publications there is very
little probability of ever making peace between the
North and the South.
Among the recommendations contained in the
infamous book is the following:
"'No patronage to pro-slavery merchants; no
guestship in slave waiting hotels; no fees to pro-
slavery lawyers; no employment of pro-savery
physicians; audience to pro-slavery parsons"
This is great impudence when it is remembered
that southern people never get any patronage,
worth speaking about, from the North. The mer-
chants there only buy our cotton because they are
obliged to do so; they and their employees would
be ruined if the product of slave labor was with
held from them; they would nearly starve to death
if southern merchants and southern people gener-
ally would quit buying from them.

We clip from the Kansas City Metropol-
itan the following extract of letter from
J. w. Randall, dated ''Gregory Diggins,
July 17th.''
.'There are both lead and gulch diggings
which pay well. Tn the gulch claim now
being worked by the Emporia Company,
to which I belong, one man alone, yester-
day, took out with a rocker, in half a day,
$15. Two specimens were obtained worth
one dollar each. On the same gulch, lit
tie below, as high as 35 ounces have feen
taken out in a day by five men with sluice;
and I am told the same company now aver
age about 90 ounces per day. l have often
visited the men, and have had the opportu-
nifty of testing the truth of these statements.
There are in the vicinity number of
gulches nearly, if not quite, as rich as the
one above mentioned. The only difficulty
in the way of the successful working of all
these gulches, is scarcity of water
The writer says that large companies are
being organized to construct ditches from
the different branches of Clear Creek, which
will supply most of the claims with water
soon, when the yield will be much larger.

IA Teacher,s institute.

| "a q S1CACTs6 446blGuE6s
We hear Teachers Institute talked of,
to be held in this place sometime this fall.
1t seems to US that such thing would re-
suit in much good, not only To. teachers,
but to the community at large. In the gens
eral desire to secure to ourselves the com
forts and lconvenienees1o of life, In our new
homes, our educational interests must not
be overlooked We have in this and the
adjoining counties quitea number of schools,
and we are satisfied that if the teach
ers of these schools and the friends of edu-
cation generally would spend few days to-
gether, exchanging views in regard to the
different modes of teaching, listening to
lectures etc., no one would regret the time
spent. No doubt the services of eminent
educational rnen-among them our Terrific
rial Superintendent of Common Schools :
could be secured as lecturers, which would
add much to the interest of the OCCASION
But we leave this matter to The Teachers of
this and the adjoining counties They are
the persons that should move in the matter,
and we sincerely hope they will all go in
for he(bolding ofithe Institute, say some
time in October next. We should be glad
topubhsh anything that the friends of edu-
cation-both ladies and gentlemen-have to
say on this subject.

learn that the same Commute have in. Gus

ago VIM. H. Mayberry was tried before a
Squatters Court on a charge of appropria-
ting his neighbours cattle and cond emn-
ed to leave the Territory forthwith On pain
of being strung up" and that the same
sentence was pronounced against F. w.
Mather. Jesse Mayberry and others-then
absent-if they were ever found within the
limits of the settlement, it having been
clearly proven that they had been guilty oil
all manner of theft. and other outrages.

punishment they so richly merit.
