ALARMING INCREASE OF CELBAcY.-This is

ALARMING INCREASE OF CELIBACY.-This is
getting to be alarming fact to the political econ
omists, aud in an article on the subject, Once a
Week. thus remarks:
The probabilities of marriage OF maiden at
twenty are slightly superior to those OF a bachelor
and incomparahly greater than those of a widow
of the same age; but with the lapse of years the
ratios change the probabilities of marriage at
thirty-fve being, for a bachelor, one to twenty
seven for spinster one to thirty five; and for
widow, one to fve-the attraction of the widow
Standing to those of the spinster in the surpri
sing relation of five to one-or perchance, that
number mysticaly representing her comparative
readiness to matrlmouy. Thus the chance of
finding happiness and home diHainishes with
years.
The growing disposition to celibacy among
the young men of this class, though in some
measure attributable to selfish and luxurious cin-
cism, is chiefly due to the irrationul expenditure
consequent on marriage, and the urattractiveness
of prospective associations with women un-
likely from their artificial habits to yield domes-
tic happiness. If this celibacy frequently defeats
the economical consideration deciding to It, Gas il
should,l and ends III much immortality and unhap-
piness among men, how immeasurably evil mnst
be its influence the other sex and WI hat viola
ton of natural law must that social organization
be which so harshly represses the affections, and
bereaves so large a class of the support and SYM
pathy they are entitled to from man Is the
Raiapoot pride that slays female infant, lest in
after life it should dishoner it's parentage by a
plebeian marriage, more cruel than the selfish So
cial system that devotes it to solitary and sary
life of penury and regrets

Frank Z. Wilson, ESQ.

This gentleman publishes card of nearly FIVE
columns in the Register of Saturday last. The
Democratic Press had been requested to publish
it and had refused to do so. MIR. Wilson's expla-
nation is complete vindication of himself from
the charges which have been made against him
of circulating the Workingmen's Address :" to
injure Governor Ellis election. It appears that
after the publication of the correspondence
between Gov. Ellis and Mr. Fowle Mr. Wilson
called on the Governor, at his Office and told him
that he had no nesire inclination to iniure his
election and that he had not mailed single copy
Of the . W orkingmens Address |" since the Gov
e"ior was nominated for reelection, and that the
pamphlets which he had mailed at the Post Office
which had created the impression that he had
been circulating the Address referred to, were
copies of Governor Ellis own speech and of the
Address of the Democratic Executive Committee
Dlr. Wilson still declares himself democrat and
expresses his determination to adhere to the Or
ganization and even platforms of his party in all
save the anti-ad ralorcm resolution in the late
State Convention platform.
We certainly think that Mr. Wilson has been
wronged, whether Intentionally or not we do not
undertake to say; but of one thing we are conf
dent: portion Of the democratic weakly press
are doing Gov. Ellis more harm in the useless
discussion of the I" Workingmen's Address and
their abuse of Mr. Wilson and ether good demo-
Gratis than the entire opposition press put togeth-
er. The fact is portion of the party press-gen-
orally outsiders and 1ceak brethren it is true-seem
to have been engaged for the last twelve months
in an effort to injure Governor Ellis and destroy
the party, if possible, and that their efforts will
be productive of unfavorable results to the party
we doubt not but August will abundantly prove.
Whenever village editors, who have been but a
short time in the State, and some that are not long
III the country, suffered to speak for and lead
great party, the party thus suffering itself i'm
posed upon will soon be in condition to deserve,
if does not experience, defeat. When the lead
Ing talent Of the democratic party was looked up
to and needed by the rank and file the organiza-
ton maintained unbroken front and victory
after victory was achieved without family
quarrels or dissensions, but somehow for the
last two years or more things have been 60
ing to pieces and no tell what IS to be the
result. One thing is certai1-according to good
authority, house divided against itself cannot

The editor of the Newbern Progress, speaking
of a recent trip to Goldsboro't, remarks all the
Democrats we saw were against od ralorcm, and
all who were not Democrats were for it, The

Now dan't do us injustice, Mr.. Herald. We did
not mean to make any reflections concerning the
intelligence of the people of Goldsboro; we meant
simply to be understood as meaning that those
persons, everywhere, who engage in political dis
cussions on the street. about hotels, and at other
public places, are generally not of the most intel
ligent classes. We know of no more intelligent
people, anywhere, than the citizens of Goldsboro'

N. L.,
Dear Progress Patti, the charming little bird,
gave concert here last Saturday, which was
largely attended although the price of admission
was dollar Adelna Patti when she makes her
appearance looks like little girl, but when she
sings you forget all about her looks in attention
to her singing. She is perfect beauty and has
one of the most remarkal ly powerful voices ever
heard, and as you can imagine, wherever she
goes, there are about two thirds of the young men
go crazy over her, but it does no good as she re-
marked the other day that she never intended to
get married as she would have to support her hus-
band, and that she did not feel willing to do.

concluded his speech in behalf of Mr.. Douglas at
the great Douglas meeting in New Orleans on the
10Th inst:
Let me warn you against surprise from quar-
ters most insiduous from men whose well-laid
snares might delude you into inconsiderate and
fatal steps; men who will caress you, but tho are
neither your friends, nor the friends of the cause
they seem to advocate; men ready to bolt from
one position to another, ever anxious to show
themselves foremost in any movement that has
the least chance of success, and eager to thwart
every good purpose that cannot be turned to their
exclusive advantage; spurious and dough faced
politicians promptto inaugurate any sort of party
that will afford them the means of wrestling the
public spoiis from those who in the employ
ment of them, and with whom no communion of
thought or sentiment can be durable, they are
ever upon the watch, their eyes cleaving to the

and be ahead of all others the lists of the one

JUDGE HowARD.-Quite a number of cases
were disposed of last week in Superior Court
but there was little of general interest Judge
Howard, though the youngest lawyer we recol
lect ever to have seen the Bench in this State
presided with dignity and efficiency. We were
particularly struck with his prompt manner and
the determination he manifested to prevent the
improper consumption of time. on the part of wit
nesses and lawyers. He certainly more than met
public expectation. 1t is in the power of the
Judges greatly to curtail the large waste of time
and money expended in litigation, aud the now
common habit of continuing suits from term to
term until everybody's patience is worn out, and
witnesses are severely injured We hope the
Judge will continue to grow in promptness and
readiness to dispatch business, and not become
laggard and Indifferent, so soon as the wire edee
wears off: The times demand it, as well as the
interest of the people

GOLDsBORO', June 1st 1860.
Dear PROGRESS The commencement exercise
of Wayne Female College, which embraced
Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday, came to
close last evening with concert by the young
ladies of the College. The exercises of the three
days were, AS usual, very interesting; and were
witnessed by unusually large audiences. The
Young ladies, generally, stood very good exam
nation in all their studies; and acquitted them
selves we'll in the performance of the various
pieces of music which were interspersed through
the exercises of the occasion with very happy eff
feet The fine display of embroidery executed
by the delicate fingers of the young misses, was
very creditable while the close imitation to ma
ture of the wax flowers and fruit, suggest the
danger of exciting the jealousy Of the worthy
old dame.
On Wednesday evening, great many persons
repaired to the Baptist Church (Which had been
kindly rendered for the occason) TO hear the an
nual sermon which was to have been preached
by the Rev. r. T. Hefin, who, however, failed
to be present for reasons unknown to me.
On Thursday morning, Henry Mullens, ESQ !,
delivered short but well written and appropriate
address to the graduates, which listened to
by very large audience.
cises were conducted in the Chapel of the College,
before densely crowded and very intelligent
audience, composed principally of ladies Miss
NJ. j. Kennedy, of Goldsboro', read the sautatory;
then followed Miss Lizzie Jordan, of Goldsboro',
then Miss Leah Koonce of Onslow, then Miss
NJ E. Afford, of Goldsboro', then Miss Melvina
Baker, of Goldsboro, who was honored with the
valedicsory. A handsomely bound Bible was
presented to each of the graduates, by Rev. r.
G. Barrett, who accompanied the presentation
with few practical remarks
At night the annual concert came off in the
College Chapel, which was attended. as usual,
by far many more than could obtain an entrance
into the Chapel. The programme was well per-
formed ana In an appropriate place would have
been listened to with much more pleasure. After
the concert. a gold medal was presented to Miss
Henrietta Wright, for superior excellence in mu.
sic; and book of poems to Miss s. Call and Miss
Mary Belchse for inferior excellence in music.

TAKES SIDEs.-The Scotland Neck News, pub
lished somewhere in the woods in Halifax coun-
ty and started as neutral paper, has come out
for John Pool and Bell aud Everett The editor
of the News has means of acquiring political in
formation we suppose not known to the craft gen.
really. He says:
We learn from reliable source this morning
that John Pool, the Opposition candidate for
Governor, will gain in this District over Smiths
majority, 900 votes, and that his gain in the
Wake district will be 1000, in Gilmer's district
1000 in Vances district 1000, in Ruffns district
on McRaes vote 1000, in Winslow's district
1000 and 600 in Leach's district
Our informant has had opportunity of kno,c-
ing that the above statement is true.
Leading democratic papers have reliable intel
hgence also of immense gains all over the State
for Ellis. Ofcourse the honest masses know verv
we'll which to believe. Plain as mud Politicians
are always right.
