EXCURSION TO NEWBERN.

Yesterday morning at an early hour, the mem
bers and teachers belonging to the NJ. e Sunday
School assembled at the railroad shed to take a
May day excursion to Newbern We understand
there were one hundred and forty eight members
of the school besides large number of strangers
and servants which, we suppose would increase
the number TO about one hundred aud seventy-fve
About7 o'clock the started, and after few
hours run, brought the company to the - City of
Athens"
Arriving at New bern, the classes, teachers and
invited guests formed a procession, and marched
to the Academy Green, where the Company rest
ed about half an hour, enjoying themselves IN va
rious ways. The time for resting had soon run
out, when the ringing of the bell summoned US
all to church
Col w. S. G. Andrews introduced to the audi
ence, Rev. r. G. Barrett, who delivered short
and appropriate address, of fifteen minutes, mostly
to the children, which was listened to with eager
ness and attention by all present. Mr. Lor1ng
next took the stand, when he was followed by
Messrs. Andrews and Adams, each one delivering
short addresses of fifteen minutes, and, as we
stated before, each address listened to atten-
lively and with delight
The company then repaired to the Academy
green, where a large and elegant dinner was
spread, in which all eagerly participated The
cakes made the most favorable impression, as a
young man vowed that his wife, if he should
ever be so fortunate as to get one, (vain IN you
to ihlnk so, Lewis,) must be a competent cake
maker
Dinner being over, the ladies and gentlemen
passed the remainder of the day in walking about
the city. We were all right there, and, in compa-
ny with the May Queen, or one that should have
been favored with the crown, walked around the
city until nbout half past three (by two watches)
when returned to the depot, and, in very
short time, were all on way home again,
arriving at Godsboro at twenty minutes past
six.
The thanks of the company are rendered the
town authorities for confectionaries, and several
other fayors, SD kindly shown them. during their
short stay in Newbern Rough Notes.

A New EsaPEy.

The n. Y. EIpress, specul ating on the troubles
at Charleston, thus refers to the prospects of es-
tablishing party:
We are not sure that a disruption of the Con
vention, in the present demorallized and demor-
azing condition of parties, ought to be looked
upon as a blessing rather than misfortune
True it may disclose a sad dwindling away of the
elements of nationality in the once zone and indi-
visible - Democratic party, but there will be
some compensation for this in the rebellion,
which it must lead to, against the entire machi-
merry of the convention system, W hlch has stolen
all the real substance Unpopular sovereignty from
the people, and given it to the professional poll
ticians. Anything which is calculated to destroy
the despotism of party, and the party machine,
and to give the masses of the people an opportu-
nifty to assert their independence, cannot be cal
amty, IN our Judgment, but cOnSummation de-
voutly to be wished
Nevertheless, these signs of the times only go
to show, more and more, the absolute necessity
of the great '' Constitutional Union Party" now
in process of formation, quietly but surely. With
a Democratic party South, and Democratic par
ty North-each at open enmity with the other
how long will it be before the national element
will be as thoroughly eliminated from it as it is al
ready eliminated from Republicanism? ma
tiona, Union organization can alone save the
country from the perils of sectionalism, that
thus rapidly multiplying and we are happy to
believe that that organization, powerful and pop
ular already will be sufficiently potent to smash
all the machines, and enable the people them
selves to elect a President in November next
The politicians have had the game in their hands
too long. It is high time there shuttle
and a new deal of the cards. Hence we conclude
that the quarrelling over the board at Charleston
may be- after ALL a thing to be reoced over rather
than to be deplored.
