8. Resolved, That we regard the distribution of the
public lands or their proceeds, the enactment ofhome-
lie domain, without equivalent, as unconstitutional,
anti-democratic and impolitic.

the Constitution and the Union. demands that all ma

organization known as the Black Republican party.
). Resolved, That the only hope Of securing the re,
rights depends upon the success of the Democratic par

ANOTHER NEW DIvIsIoN.-The Grand Scribe
has issued a charter for 'Shepardsyille Di-
vision, No sss," to be established in Carter
ct county. Bro. R. w. Chadwick, onforward-
ing the Application, says:
DEAR GRAND ScRIBE:- send you here
with a petition for a Charter to establish a
Division at Shepardsville, in this Oarteret)
county. Shepardsville is a small village, i'm
mediately on the Railroad, with strong aspi-
rations for becoming a town; and think a
Division Of the Sons of Temperance is the
first institution that should be established
/ am sorry to say, however, that the enemy
is already strongly intrenched there, and un-
less he is dislodged its proud and lofty aspi-
rasions will never be realized. To accom-
plish this, twelve noble Spirits have volun-
teered their services and pledged themselves
to pull down the bloody flag of intemperance,
and in its stead to plant the tricolored ban

HORRIBLE MURDER.-We have been inform
ed by a reliable gentleman, that on Saturday
evening last, DIR. P. A. Delk, of Surry, Va. was
burned to death in his residence, which was
totally destroyed at the same time. The Doc
tor had just disposed of a valuable negro, and
he had about $4,000 in his possession and the
presumption is that the servants first muir
dered him for his money, and then set fire to
the house.
The Doctor was about thirty years of age,
and a widower. He leaves one child, and a
good estate.-Peters6ugg (Va.) Press.
ANOTHER FrRE.-Another fire occurred in
Elizabeth City, NC, on the Sd. At the
early hour of 8 O'clock, the large and hand
some brick building on Water street, owned
and occupied by Mr.. W. II. CLARKE, as a
machine shop and agricultural depot, was dis
covered to be on fire. The house was partial
ly saved, but the loss is heavy. Supposed to
be the work of an incendiary.
New ORLEANS, March 7.-Advices were re-
ceived yesterday from Northern Mexico, re-
porting that Caravajal was seeking American
aid for Juarez ; and that Miramon has order.
ed Cortinas to hold out till March, when he
would receive reinforcements.
