Serenade to Gov EUis-The patriotic and
eloquent Governor of the Old North State was
serenaded last night at his lodging, at the
Exchange Hotel, the First Regiment Band
having been engaged for that purpose by q
number Of citizens.
Hon. VIM. W. Avery was introduced to the
people, who excused the absence of the Gov
ernor on account Of indispostiop, and pro-
ceeded to deliver an imprisoned address,
which was received with enthusiastic applause.
He said North Carolina was unit on the Sc
cession issue, and would stand or fall with the
Southern Confederacy, with which her fortunes
were now indissolubly linked. She had paused
for Virginia to act, though confident how she
would go in the great contest; there was now
race between them as to who should be FIRST
IN the new and out Of the old Confederacy
He promised on the part of North Carolina
arms, ammunition and men in any quantity, or
dered in sustaining Southern Rights. They
could soon be on the soil of Virginia. Ad
dresses were also delivered by Judge Person.
and Hon. NJ. W. Ransom. His Honor the
Mayor, introduced the last two gentlemen.

FALsEHoop.-The most despicable false
hood yet invent ted by the Northern newspa-
papers appears in the New York Times. That
paper asserts that Lionel Walden, whose ac-
cidental death, at Savannah, was lately no.
ticed, was scaled on by body Of men, to i'm
press him, and on his resisting, they killed
him on the spotw The Journal Of Commerce,
we are gratifed to observe, has the honesty to
expose the falsehood, and to administer the
following rebulie to the mendacious Times:
We believe that if other similar reports of
horrors the South could be- traced, many, il
not most of them, would prove TO be eq uaIly
groundless or grossly exaggerat ted. Surely,
there is enough OF reai crime and brutality In
the world, without adding these invent ted out
RACES. They kindle a tempest of yiudictive
rage in tho heart of the people who credit
them, and who are ready for almost any ex-
cess by way OF retaliation. a very grave
responsibility rests upon the conduc tors OF
publlc journal rho aid in giving currency to
such Measurements.

The Shoe Pinching.

The National IHteNigencer has the follow
ing:
The Journal Of Commerce remarks that 1T
is a proof of the solid quality of New York's
wealth that all the national troubes-past
present and prospective-have not had the
effect of bringing down the valuation of real
estate throughout the city The total valua-
ton, SO far as can be now ascertained, Will be
fully equal TO that of last year,
To which the Journal Of Commerce replies
as follows:
The InteLttgeacer must have overlooked
what we said in our next succeeding publica-
ton. on the same subject The following is an
extract
1.-The assessors, following their invariable
course, have made their assessments this year
without the slightest reference To existing and
prospective national troubles. In fact the
great bulk Of the assessments was completed
before the end OF January, and before it was
seriously supposed that the country would be
involved in civil war"
We are sorry TO say that real estate here
does feel the effects of the crisis very serious
ly. We doubt if, on average, it would
bring within 20 per cent. as much cash as il
would have done year ago. The more costly
houses and stores suffer most

Asphyxiating Explosions

correspondent suggests the use of AS
phyxiating material for shells. He SAYS?
ut Is well known fact that 'Alkarsin ;
"a compound of the Alcohol series, In which
one component OF the oxygen is replaced by
an equivalent of Arsenic, } is peculiarly fitted
Tor military purposes, although it's use has
been entirely neglected. A thin shell of iron
hiied with this ma terial and fred from a gan
would explode only on striking its marx
when the Alkarsin would take fire. burning
with fierce flame and emitting dense vol
rmes of the most deadly poisonous gases
Such weapon would never fail TO reduce
any fortress or stronghold in the shor test pos
slble time. 'Rougases' or explosives on the
jacob principle, are very valuable in coast
and fertilization defences. The explosive
material consists of chlorate of potash and
sugar, which when brought in contact with
sulphuric acid, instantly explodes with great
violence. These last We're used very eSten
sively in the Russian War for the defence of
both Sevastopol and Kronst adt

Voting In Virginia-The Vile Creature
Brooks.

The New York Express has the following:
"forIxd IN VIRdIsIA.-It seems to be un.
derstOod that all the Confederate States troops
In virginia are TO vote on the final secession
OF that State. A regular camp vote is to be
taken--so many men from Alabama, so many
from South Carolina, SO many from Teunes.
see, &c. 1t Is suggested that several of our
Zouavs regiments should also vote on the
other side. Billy Wilson'S men are used 10
the importation Of Uoters business and mere
merer yet knoaon to be beaten at an etsctfon-
We have not the least idea that Virginia will
go for secession IL the bailot-boxes airs flung
open to outsiders and outside States"
The above statement is made also by
other Northern papers. 1t is all false,
as they well know. The Virginia erdi-
nance only authorized voters of Virginia who
might be absent from their regular voting
places on military duty to vote at any place
they might happen to be. We don't suppose
the Erpress will correct the falsehood, and
don't care whether it does or not. We only
desire to call attention to the patroniz-
ing Of the WILSON thieves and cut-throats
by Brooks Of the New York E<press.-
All we have to say to him is, send on
your BILLY WILsoNs-come yourself with
them-and don't be talking about it. 1t by
no means follows that because the WILSON
bullies arc allowed to hold tallow-fac and
'masculated debsuches of New York in ter

held life as Of inferior value to honor.
