PRESIDENT DAVIS IN GOLDSBORO.


Gen. Jefferson Davis, President of the Con
fcdcrate States of America, passed through
this place last night en- route for Virginia.
Our citizens gave him warm and eHthuslas-
tic reception.
On the arrival of the cars, hundreds Of peo-
pie crowded around the coach he was ln anx-
ious to get the first glimpse of our PrcsI-
dent"
Having appeared upon the platform and being
introduced to the crowd by Col ID. X. McRac,
he made Il few remarks (Which did not
hear on account Of not being able to get III
hearing distancc) After getting off the cars,
he Yves escorted by the Goldsboro' Brass Band,
and the several military companies IN atten-
dance, to Mrs. Griswolds Hotel, where he was
met by hundreds of the fair sex who seemed
determined to "eat him up" Being then
conducted into Mrs. Griswold's large dining
room the ladies concluded to "let him cat
instead Of "eating him." However, they lit
| orally surrounded him at the supper table and
! kept him well guarded whilst he was doing
! Justice to the excellent supper before him.
| After getting through supper and shaking
hands with the ladies' kissing the babies, and
accepting "a bushcl or two of boquetS, he was
! escorted back to the cars.
After having arrived upon the platform he
| again made few remarks, in which he re-
ferred to the unanimty with which North Car
olina went out Of the Lincoln Union, and the
| unanimlty With which she wentlnto the South
crn Confederdcy. He said he never doubted
but that the Old North State would join her
sisters of the South knowing too many of her
patriotic sons ever to doubt it. He also re-
! iered to the policy of one Abe Lincoln, and
said that the South would resist to the death
the interference of the Lincolnites in our af
fairs &c. After which the cars moved off
amid the booming of cannon, the cheers of tue
multitude, and the playing Of Dixie by the
= band
We forgot to state in the above connection
that the gallant Wigfall of Texas, and Mr..
-, of Maryland, also made short speeches
from the platforms of the cars. Mr. Y. saiC

WHY GEN. SCOTT WILL NOT RESIGN
We have heard from good authority, the
reason why General Scott does not resign.--
It is deep-seated hatred of Henry A. Wise and
Jefferson Davis. Wisc's letter about strip
ping the peacock feathers from the old fellow
sticks into his craw, and makes him swear
vengeance against the whole Southern move
nent. He hates Jefferson Davis also, 1t IS
sail, with a holy hatred, though we are un-
able to say what for particularly. The old
chap is SO far gone in his ravIng dotage that
the mere mention Of Secession. or Henry A.
Wise, or Jefferson Davis, sets him stark mad
and persons visiting him on business, are
warned at the door of his Office not to broach
these dsagreeable subjects.
We look upon it as one Of the most fortu-
nate circumstances for the South that General
Scott still sticks to the cause Of the North. If
he had resigned courtesy would have placed
him in command of the Southern army, which
rather needs the intellect of vigorous manhood
to lead it on to success, than man who has q
reputation for former deeds of glory, though
now sunk to almost gibbering idiocy. God IS
with us !-N0rf0EE D6y DO0k

CHAPTER II,

Two years had passed away changes had
she was much paler, and her form had lost
some of its wonted roundncss. Amuse-
ments had grown insipid to her. Her hus
band had ceased to be as attentive as in
days gone by. Finding that the declining
health of his wife would not permit her to
be in society so much, he had grown care
less. Perhaps, too, the decay of her beauty
caused him to be less proud of her How
lonely and drearily were the hours passed
IN the long Winters evenings, with no COM
panion save her infant boy, who was as
beautiful as his lovely mother. All had
lost its charm now the mirrors, costly
carpets, paintings, the jewels which gilt
tered in their caskets (for she ceased to wear
them now. All the gliding had worn off
the toy, and it ceased to charm any longer.
Now she wished to throw it from her. Ev-
erything seemed mockery around her
What she mostly desired was wanting
those little attentions from her husband
As her beauty faded, his affection seemed
to be chilled. He smoke of the beauty of
some belle, of her bright eyes, sweet smile !;
how these remarks would lacerate her
heart; for once be admired her because she
possessed all these treasures. Now they
were less brilliant yet her heart was the
same; for " it never yet was woman's Let
to love and forget" Another tie should
have bound him to his home-his infant
boy, who scarcely knew what it was to
share a fathers smile Had he been old
enough, he would readily have seen the
deep grief preFing upon his youthful moth
er's heart; but happily childhood knows
nothing of such cares and troubles.
The truth of the real Situation of Emma
now flashed upon her. Her happiness had
been but meteor, which made the darkness
more visible. She, like bird, was pining
away in gilded cage. Was her dream of
happiness SO soon to end? Ah, yes . it must
indeed be So, Though her husband left not
o wish unqualified so far as everything in
household matters were concerned, yet she
was the most miserable of women; for be
extended oily a sort of cold politeness tow

WHY DOES GUNPOwDER DRIVE A BALL FROM
A CANNON When gunpowder is burned,
the elements of which it is composed are
changed from the solid to the gaseous form,
and, as gases, they occupy some 900 or 400
times more bulk than they do in the solid
state at the same temperature. But the
substances, at the same time that they are
changed into gases, are intensely heated,
and by this means their volume Of pressure
is still more augmented. Various state
mcnts have been made in relation to the
ing Of gunpowdcr, but the best experiments
that We have seen any account Of were made
by some of the officers of our army. Little
cylinders furnished with solid pstons, and
containing oil, were inserted in the metal
of the gun, opening at right angles into tue
bore, so that the pressure of the gases would
drive in the piston, COMPRISING the oil. An
arrangement was made by which the piston
marked the distance to which it was forced
into the cylinder thus registering the COM
preston. The force required to compress
the oil to the same extent was afterwards
ascertained by means of a lever and weight.
The pressure in the several parts of the
bore was thus measured, and was found to
be about $4,000 lbs. to the square inch near
! the breech, and to diminish rapidly towards
the muzzle.-Scjentifc American

ards her. The only real pleasure left for
her now was to see her kind and good sis
ter, who came like messenger bearing
good tidings. How she endeavored to offer
the first. She knew that as far as Rufus
Glenwood was concerned there was not
heart enough in tie matter. Emma was,
too, carried away, as it were, with whirl-
wind; she thought only of the elegant
mansion and all the accompaniments of
wealth to reflect whether she would be
really happy. But Rosalie, more thought
full, had forcseen it all. The choice OF her
sister was by no means wise one. Emma
had led fashionable but empty life; and
how that her health was gone, her spirits
crushed, her hopes blasted, she was brought
to a calm reflection. Her society no longer
contributed to the happiness of her hus-
band; the fireside had no charms for him.
He thought Emma dull and gloomy; but
did he make any effort whatever to chase
away that darkness? No-no lie spoke
only of the difference between himself and
others who were always SO cheerful aud
gay. Bat would they not have been crushed
beneath the same weight? He ought to
have known that he destroyed her happi-
ness with coldnesS and inattention and
that bird will die of neglect, even in a
golden cage.
Gladly would Emma have exchanged all
her splendor and elegance for the genuine
happiness experienced by her sister in the
cottage Her eyes would often wander
around the apartments of her sister, and
she felt deep yearning for some one tc
make her as happy and cheerful. cob
no ~ she would often cxclaim to herself

times more is to be desired a cottage where

WHEN THE World is NOT RoUND-A coun-
try schoolmaster one day announced to his
pupils that the examination would soon take
place.
''If you are examined in geography" said
he, "you will surely be asked of what shape
the earth is, and if you should not remember,
just look at me and | will show you my snuff
box to remind you that it is round"
Unfortunately the schoolmaster had two
snuff boxes-a round one which he carried
on Sunday, and square one which he car
ried during the week.
The fatal day having arrived, the class in
geography was duly called out, and the
questions asked
"What is the shape of the earth ?"
The first boy appalled, by the appearance
of the examining committee. felt EN- lbarrass-
ed. and glanced at the master, who at once
pointed to his snuff box.
"Sr," boldly answered the boy t'it is
round on Sunday, and square all the rest of
the week"
