DEATHS,

In this City, on the 9th inst, at the residence of
her Son, Col. c. w. I. Hutchings, Mrs. Frances Hutch
ings, aged about Is years.
Mrs. Hutchings had been a pious and consistent
member of the Methodist E. Church for many years,
and has gone at hast to reap her reward.
In Greene county, N. c., after a severe illness, on
the 9th ult., Sister Frances Silivent, eldest daughter
of Bro. Merritt Orman, in the 26th year of her age.
Sister Silivent has been a consistent member of the
Nd. E. Church eight or ten years. The writer has of
ten met her in c~lass-meeting, and rejoiced with her in
hope of that blessed home to which she has gone
The writer conversed with her often during her last
illness about her prospect beyond the grave. She al
ways replied that she was prepared to go, and reioiced
at the prospect which stood out before her. She ex-
horted her husband and all to meet her in heaven
When told that she could not remain with us many
days, she replied that if it was Gods will, she was
ready to go. A few minutes before she expired she
turned to one that watchedb by her bedside and asked
her if she could tell her where her home was. She
was told to exercise faith in Jesus, and he would soon
take her home. She replied with a smile, that he
would. She requested all present to come to her that
she might bid them farewell, but before they could
como in, she closed her eyes in death, or rather, fell
asleep in the arms of the Blessed Jesus.
Jesus can make a dying bed
Feel soft as dOwny pillows are,
While ON his breast she leaned her head,
And breathcd her life out sweetly there.
She leaves a kind and affectionate husband. two lit
tie children and a large number of friends to mourn
their loss. B.. S. HARDY.

A PROGRESS THROUGH EGYPT.

HOMAGE TO A GREAT BENEFACTOR.
The "Diary Of . Physician" by DR.. War
rem, thrilling and interesting as it has been
considered. is not more marvellous than the
actual experience OF the celebrated Professor
Holloway in the various countries he has
visited, While in a spirit of general philan-
thropy he has devoted himself to the CONVEX
sation- of the public health, without distinc-
ton of natisn or class, he has been the init
mate friend of princes and an honored guest
at the table of Kings. His courtly manners,
varied information, and the fascinating style
in which. he gives his impressions of the
countries and people with whom his travels
have made him familiar, render him the most
| delightful of companions. When in Egypt,
(whither be went several years ago for the
purpose of investigating the antiquities of
that cradle of learning and SCIENCE he re-
ceiyed a special invitation from Ibrahim Pa
sha to become his guest at Alexandria, and
that remarkable man is said to have offered
him, an enormous income as an inducement
to, become his physician-in-chief Failing in
that, he ordered a guard of honor to attend
Professor Holloway to Thebes, and presen-
ted him with a special firman, addressed to
all civil and military officers in Egypt, com
handing them to afford "the friend of lbra.
him Pasha" every facility in the prosecution
of his researches. Thus he journeyed, the
guest of the nation, through the realm of the
Pharoahs. Nor was his progress simply de-
voted to antiquarian objects. Travelling as
usual with an Iample supply of his lnvalua-
BILE remedies, DE was enabled to d, an infin-
ity of good in hat unhealthy region water
ed by the ME- Wherever his tents were
pitched, the sick we're conveyed there. Nu-
bian and Abyssinian princes brought their
sick wives and children on ~lit.ers, seeming
to believe that be could heal them with a
touch, and Moors, Copts and Turks-in fact,
representatives of all the races that make
the population of Egypt, wed with each 9TH
er in doing him honor. He had little occa-
sion to use the Pasha'S irman, for the cures
he wrought were a passport 10 all hearts-a
sufficient incentive to e~xertion in his service.
Even the dancing girls who came at evening
to- perform before his tent, at various places
on the route, refused the customary d0uceer.
They merely asked a small supply of the
medicines which had proved so etficacious in
the diseases of the country, and felt assured
on receiving them, that they possessed a tai.
isman capable of controlling every species
of sickness.
Bencyolence, courage and perseverance
combined with skill of the highest order,
and all exercised in an unsel6sh spirit for the
good of mankind, are the main traits of thi.
great mans character. They have stamped
his name upon the hearts of the present gen

AID FRAScE-HIGHLY IMPORTANT NEws--It
is not only a very remarkable coincidence
but a very significant fact, that on the 4th
of March, the day which ushered our new
Administration at Washington into power,
Mr.. Gregory, in the British House Of Com
mons, gave notice that on an early day
he would call the attention of her Majesty's
Government to the expediency Of a prompt
recognition of the Southern Confederacy Of
America"
New YORK, March, 26.-The English

TAM as showing the progress of the revolu-
tlon In public sentiment in England concern
ing the Dissolution of the American Union.
The London Times of Friday, 9Th inst,
says that the legislation of the North viii
bring about a considerable modification OF
British relations with America. The Nor

the sympathies of its friends and will direct

WADE HEAVY ON HIS OWN FRIENDS.-The
special Washington Correspondent of the
Cincinnati Commercial, in his letter of We'd
nesday, referring to the evacuation of Fort
Sumter, says: "Some continue to denounce
it as not only unnecessary, but in the high
est degree cowardly. Old Ben Wade says
he never much believed in total depravity,
but in these apoState times he begins to think
it is true, and that the the Republican party
will furnish a striking illustration Of it, being
likely to be damned before it is fairly born"
The New York Post, Republican, says:
"As things now are, the prospects for the
commerce OF this city are so discouraging
as to call forth one loud cry of alarm from
all classes Of our citizens. For we live by
commerce, and by commerce with the whole
world. Take that from us, and every trade
suffers. Nor is this effect confined TO the
limits Of the city, or of the State, of which
it is the ornament and support. There is
hardly an iron establishment or a coal mine
in Pennsy lvania, or a loom in Massachusetts,
or a forge in New Jersey, that does not feel
the pulsation of its ~arterial blood flowing d.
rectlY from the heart of the metropolis. If
that becomes torpid, woe to the extremities.
A numbness will come over them which no
warmth of protection can remove"
DrEL IN FLomDA,-A duel took place on
the goth inst, between St. Clair Morgan and
an officer Of Capt. QHara's Company, at fort
McRae, Fla, in which the former, is said to
have been MORALLY wounded--the ball from
his opponents pistol having entered the low
err part of the abdomen, and passed entirely
through the body. ST. Clair Morgan is said to
have fired the first shot into the Star of the
West, at Charleston.

nexed tribute to a worthy and an indefatiga
BILE laborer in the Temperance cause:
A SUCCESSFUL LABoRER. Our esteemed
friend, the Rev John Long, SO well and IA
vorably known TO our brethren of this State,
has temporarily located at Greensboro, in
N. c., and we cordially commend him to the
confidence of the people of that town.. Bro.
Long has accomplished a glorious work at
1~anceyville, his late residence, and there are
many in that village who will remember his
labors with deep gratitude. No more than a
year has passed since he began his labor of
love at Yanceyville, and no field could have
been more dismal, to one less ~resolute than
brother Long but knowing no such word as
fail, and relying upon assistance from above,
he planted our standard in the midst of groc
shops; fought them inch by inch, gained the
sympathies of the community in favor of our
cause, reformed the drunkard stopped the
moderate drinker, and closed up one or two
grog shops and gave an impetus to the cause
of religion and sobriety, in that locality,
which, before they had never known. In To-
eating in Yanceyville, brother Long found it
in the power ofrum sellers, and when he left
that village the banner ofthe Sons was flying
in triumph over a Division of nearly one
hundred men,, and exerting a powerful in1u-
ence for good in that community All this
was done by ONE valiant laborer. VIII! not
our friends take this imperfect tribute to a
valiant laborer as encouragement, and when
disposed to yield, remember the noble exam
pie of brother Long and resolve to do like
wise. May his eward be exceedingly great

Washington Items.

Dispatches to the Baltimore Clipper, con-
tain the following items:
The friends of Governor Chase are urging
an extra session. either to clothe the President
with power to execute the claws, or to recog-
nize the Southern Confederacy. 1t is also
stated that Mr.. Seward does not wish thus to
inevitably dissolve the Union either forcibly
or peaceably. and, that he opposes an extra
session.
The Disnniorists in Virginia have a double
trouble. They may not be able to pass a Sc
cession Ordinance and if they do, they will
be defeated before the people, inasmuch as
Mr.. Lincoll1's Administration is resolved to
do all in their power to retain the Border
States in the Union 1t is utterly false that
Col. James Barbour, Of the Culpeper district,
has declared in favor of secession.
A number of the members Of the Virginia
Convention arrived here from Richmond on
Saturday, and they declare the rumor that
the SecesSionists are within three of a ma
jority in the Convention to be entirely with
out foundation. The Union men are still in
a decided and controlling majority, notwith-
standing there has been some detection from
the ranks, and those that remain cannot be
tempted or forced into the disunion move
ment under any circumstances
If Mr.. Seward, in his forthcoming reply to
the Commissioners of the Southern Confeder-
acy recommends, as it is expected he will,
the calling of a Convention of the States to
settle. CIR national difficulties, the Virginia
Convention will promptly endorse the
plan.
There. is a rapidly growing sentiment here
among conservative men favorable to the
adop ion ofthe Constitution of the Confederate
States. They regard that instrument as a
great improvement upon the old one, and
what is more important, they assert that by
its adoption the Union is again restored and
peace and ~fraternal feeling between the Sec
tons irrevocably cemented.
WAsmNGToN, March 20.-The Senate to.
day confirmed Alvin Saunders, of Iowa,
Governor Of Nebraska Territory, and many
other appointments.
For several weeks rumors have been rife
that many Unionists IN some of the seeded
States intended to apply to Mr.. Lincoln foI
judicial appointments therein. This is con
ermed in part by the nomination of George
w. Lane as Judge of the Northern AMI
Southern district of Alabama.

~ The exodus of free negroes from
our midst still continues. Within the last
few days four or i've families have left this
county for Ohio. We suppose that some
FIVE hundred persons of this class have emf
grated to Ohio during she last year or two,
from Granville county. At this rate, we
will soon be rid of the presence of a very

any longer such adjuncts of Black Republi-

in Columbus, and seventy-ive in GAINESVILLE.
