ARREsTED.-M Joseph II. Neff, doing bust
ness as Ship Chandler at the corner Of Water
and Dock Streets, on the wharf, was arrested on
the charge of using language expressive of hostility
to the government as well to the cause of the
Southern States, and of approval of the course Of
Lincoln.
An investigation was had in the Court House
before several Justices and a number of witnesses
were examined in reference to the expressions used
by Mr. Neff We forbear making any detail of
the testimony as the excitement is already suffi
GENTLY high. We merely add that the Justices
deemed the testimony strong enough to justify
them in committing the prisoner to Jail to await
his trial at the next term of the Superior Court
for this county
We fear that this case is not an isolated one.
There are men who have made all their money
here, who have deserted the community and who
are preparing desert it, and who in the prospect
Of their ear y escape to abolitiondom, are rather
incautiOGs i'll their expressions. They will bear
watching. No man ought to be allowed to 90
backwards and forwards to and from the North or to
communicate with that section. 1t is neither more
nor less than carrying a correspondence with
the enemy. If all those who entertain similar
sentiments with those expressed by Mr. Eef were
only gone, we would be well rid Of them. They
ought ncccr to be permitted to return under any
circumstances. From the very nature of things,
they must be a dangerous element Of weakness in
our midst Wilmington Jouyn0t.
VALUABLE SLAvE.-Mai. Matthew J. Common
formerly Of Raleigh, but living in Haywood
county, has a mulatto woman whom he bought
in 1927, at the sale of the late Trca,urcr, John
Haywood, for 5000, who is now the mother Of "a
children, IL Of whom are twins These negroes
would now sell for $50 O00.-AMeriNc Mars.

MATRIMONY AND MONEY.-The Lowell Coul-
RIGS says, that day Or two since weldresscd
called at the city trcasurers office and desired
to look over the tax list. lie was directed up
stairs to the assessors room. Arriving there he
requested to see the chairman alone for few min
utes, which request having been complied with, he
made known to that officer that he was in pursuit
of wife. He not over-burdened with ''this
worlds goods" and if with wife he could get
some funds, it would not come amiss. He therefore
wanted the chairman to make out list of the I'M
married ladies for him, who were possessed of some
means of their own, that he might know among
whom to 6 circulate with double view of matri-
mony and money. The official being very busy,
was unable to comply with the gentleman's re-
quest, and he is doubtless still in the market

writing to the Atlanta papers, from Winchester,
on the lst inst, says:
Allow me through your columns to inform all
volunteers who have not purchased side arms that
it is useless for them to do 50, they will not be
allowed to carry them after they mustered into
service. I he money each would spend for pistol
will do them great good if brought IN money,
There are men here following the army round to
buy pistols Of the volunteers when orders are
given to dispense with them, which orders are
issued as fast as the different regiments arrive in
camp. 1t will be money thrown away to buy
pistols. Those who are here buying are doing so
for speculation knowing those to whom they sell
them will not be allowed to use them.
No privatcs allowed to carry concealed
weapons They might, in fit of passion at Some
supposed insult, shoot those in command.

advantages than Catawba. Besides being beau
tiful and healthy country, Astounding in pure free
stone water the lands are very productive, and the
climate delightful. The mineral resources of the
county are also varied and valuable. Iron ore Is
to be had in abundance, and several furnaces have
been in operation for years turning out every deS-
cription of hollow for kitchen purposes, pig
iron, &c; Lime rock abounds from which the best
lime is burned; quarry Of excellent marble Is
worked; one or two valuable gold mines have been
worked with much profit to the owners for years;
there is little doubt that other valuable minerals
remain to be discovered in this favored county.
Mineral springs also abound and the water Of the
"White Sulphur is PRONOUNCED by chemists aud
individuals who have been restored by its use, to
equal any in America for its curative properties.
The county seat Of Catawba is Newton, a flour
;shing and delightful town, being built IN the
midst Of groves that protect the inhabitants from
the rays Of hot sun in summer, rendered delight
ful by the cool brcezc5 that come steaith!iy from

west in panoramic beauty. There are here several

Newton has several stores, which drive a thirty
