characterizing the decision of Congress in the
contested election case unsupported by facts; a
tyrannical and INSCRIPTIONS exercise of power in
the majorityj contempt of the rights Of the mi
norlty; reckless disregard of the rights Of the
people Of the district and scornfully rePellng the
imputation that the election carried by fraud.
resolution nominating Mr.. Barrett for re-
election to Congress was then read, and received
with Tremendous cheers
The Republicans also held meeting Il ratiica-
uon OF the action of Congress I'm the same case,
which was numerously attended Resolutions
were passed charging Mr. Barrett's election as the
result Of fraud, and endorsing the decision of
Congress in giving Mr.. Blair his seat

DRIED FRUIT-The influx of dried fruit into our
market has rather subsidized within the last week
From present indications we judge the amount this
will fall short of that of the last Prices have
not materially varied during the season. Apples
are duller now than they have been, and our mer
chants care very little to take hold of them. The
experience of the present season. in regard to the
dried fruit market will no doubt have its proper
weight with farmers and their industrious wives
and daughters in inducing them to turn their atten-
ton to that particular kind that is most easily put
up and that bears the best price in proportion to the
labor. We allude to unpeeed peaches in halves
These, it seems, retain more OF the substance and
sweetness of the fruit and consequently find read
Ter market than any other sort
Let our farmers take steps to raise orchards of
the proper species of fruit for drying. They need
not fear that the trade in dried fruit is but Temporal
ry, and that the time and expense of raising trees
in order to be prepared to put up large quantities,
will be lost. 1t is constantly increasing business
and will continue to increase, and no section of the
Union possess advantages superior to this for raising
fruits of all kinds Dried fruit is becoming lux
ury, coffee and tea in many parts of the country
and the demand for it is widening yearly.-High

Gov. BRAGG IN SALIsBURY.-On Friday night last,
by special request Hon. Thos. Bragg, on his return
from Taylorsvile, addressed the people of Salisbury
at the Court House. This meeting was composed
of men of both parties and was largely attended by
ladies, and Gov. Bragg enchanted the company for
over two hours in one of the ATTEST speeches we
ever listened to. 1t was COOL dspassionate, truth
full statement Of the real issue to be decided on Tues
day next-the argument deduced from the facts
was that Of statesman, and the conclusion Irresis
tbe to every patriot. Gov. Bragg boldly met every
issue and pointed out every evil likely to result from
the election of Lincoln and the practical adoption Of
the policy Of his party. He showed the people the
danger which threatens the country and, whilst he
yet had hope of Black Republican defeat he had
the manliness to avow the true Southern policy, in
stead of attempting to alarm the people with use
less fears. He did not think the mere election of
Lincoln cause for dissolution, but he insisted upon
the Southern States Rights doctrine in its fullest
extent. He showed concusively that neither Bell
nor Douglas had any chance to defeat Lincoln be-
fore the people, in the electoral college in the House
of Representatives, in the Senate, whilst the
chances were immeasurably in favor of Breckenridge
and Lane and he called upon the Southern people
to rally to their flag as being that which not only
now presents the only hope, but which has ever
been rallied to in times of danger Gov. B. was
frequently interrupted by loud applause.

The New PRoJEcrILE.-A military friend has
left at our Office of the newly-invented leaden
"sugs" or "conical balls" adapted to the new rife
musket 1t is different from the old conical ball. in
having the butt followed out The advantage
gained is this: When the piece is charged, the
powder fills up this hollow part of the ball, which
is forced by the explosion into the riled grooves of
the musket, entirely preventing all windage, and
giving it rotary motion like ordinary rifle ball.
The force of the power is thus directed entirely
the projectile, and iEsures an immense range. A
recent experiment by member of the Washington
Artillery who have received partial outfit of these
superior weapons, shows accuracy in firing at a
range of 600 or 800 yards, and at 100 yards the
shot perforated sheet of boiler-ron third inch
thick. We should be pleased to record any further
experiments, and trust that the volunteer corps
generally, will be armed with this effective weapon
A specimen of this projecte may be seen at the

TO THE PEOPLE OF PERSON

Mr.. EDITOR: As the report has gone out among
the people Of Person, (who have a right to my polit
zeal views,) that have changed from Breckenridge
to Douglas, and as we have paper published in
the county, and all good Democrats take the Stand
ard, or ought to, must beg your permission to de-
ny the charge, and state my position in the Stand
ard, without any argument
1st am heartily for Breckenridge and Lane and
endorse every word in their platform in regard to
the duty and power Of Congress the Territories
ID | believe the Breckenridge Democracy did
right to insist on having the word nonntervention
defined.
Sd. believe they did right to withdraw from the
Convention, rather than to submit to the dctation
of the friends of Judge Douglas
4th. I think the position the Democracy now &C.
cupy ought to have been taken eight years ago
9th. believe that the position of Judge Douglas
his "great principle" of squatter sovereignty-more
fatal to the interest Of the South than Intervention
by Congress.
9th. | believe no man worthy of the support Of
the American people, who refuses to take an open
and decided stand upon the great question of the
day.
18th. While greatly prefer Breckenridge, if Doug
las or Bell were stronger, stood any possible
chance to defeat Lincoln, would vote for either, as
last resort.
9Th. l believe that Breckenridge will get more
electoral votes than either, both combined and
he stands upon what conceive to be the Constitu-
ton, and if live until the election shall vote for
Breckenridge and Lane.

GARTBALDL-Tbe Paris correspondent of the New
York Herald says:
"Garibldfs glory is once more the theme of every
lip. His victory on the Volturno, fought with an
enemy whose existence was at stake and against
all the odds OF numbers and SURPRISE seems to have
forever blown to the winds the gathering clouds
which i'll omened spirits were coniuring about his
name and to have again reinstated him in the minds
of his most hypercrtical judges the predestined
angel Of liberty concentrated in Italia unitd.
Go where you wilton the highways, in the en-
virons, in the central mart of the city, on the Ex-
change on the crowded boulevards, in the spacious
avenues where fashion and her voluptaries throng
the way-not a name meets the ear save that Of Ga
ribaldi. People seem never wearied of talking of
that formidable struggle on the Volturno 1t has
been, they say, not only great victoryn the cause,
but-and they seem to set an equal estimate on this
it has indicated in a manner not to be misunder.
stood the military reputation of the most romantic
hero that has been seen since the days of William
Tell, and at a crisis when all men, educated to reg
ular warfare. were beginning to decry It The mere
guerilla chietaH has, like every true man of genius
risen with the occasion, and proved himself at the
fitting time an able and consummate general He
has outmaneuvred and beaten an army 10000
strong supplied with all the material science and
training that make ten dscip lined soldiers equal and
more than a match for ten hundred of the raube. -
And yet with half the number of the enemy, and
with soldiers who but yesterday were nothing but
the rabble-the chance sweepings to be found the
by-path of liberty-has Garibaldi done It all. The
Neapolitan army fought like men. Every account
confirms the fact. The combat lasted for eight wea-
ry hours, and nothing but the most gallant selfde-
votion the most imperturbabe GOODNESS withal,
brought success to Garibadi's arms; but never,
since the song of Deborah chanted its lay of triumph
was victory more complcte-more utterly fatal to
the house of Bourbon. The wonder, the nconceiv-
ably WONDER to all is that king, who, when driven
to bay as in this instance could thus calamity stand
to his arms, should have been found so miserably
wanting at the outset of things when half as much
pluck and energy might have preserved him on the
throne of his ancestors"

~ On Monday last, in obedience to a resolution
Of the Synod of North Carolina, divine service was
performed in the Presbyterian Church in this City,
and prayer was offered tfst God would be pleased
to avert the evils with which the country is now
threatened An admirable discourse was delivered
BY the pastor, the Rev. J. N. Atkinson. He was
assisted in the services by the Rev. Mr. johnson aud
the Rev. Mr. Tucker, of the Methodist Church.
The large congregation present was unusually SOL
emn and attentive Similar services were performed
on the same day in all the Presbyterian Churches
throughout the State. When men and women of
all parties and all denominations meet together to
humble themselves before God, and to pray that He
will avert the election of sectional candidate to the
Presidency, we may well conclude that the times
upon which we have fallen are pregnant with evil
and full of peril
