BEAUTIES OF THE STAY LAVA writer in
the Raleigh Standard, gives the following instan-
ces of the Stay Law:
"Only yesterday, man refused to pay bis
hotel-oill upon the ground that the collection of
it could not be forced by law, whereupon the
creditor feed the party to the ground with his
fist, and forced him by personal volen ce to pay
the debt. This affair gives rise to a criminal
prosecution day, and possibly to a civil suit
tor damages. Last week, party went and
forciJLy ejected and his family from house
and premises, the possession of which
Justly detained and refused upon the ground that
the remedy was distant! This gives rise to three
or four suits. In an adjoining county the most
violent outrages have been committed upon
public officer for simply doing his duty under the
act. These offences not isolated and few in
number-they are frequent, and give cause for
serious alarm to every good citizen. And the
unrestrained license to offenders against criminal
and civil justice, that in the end, it will be
trcmeiy difficult to restore order, harmony and
due observance of the law"

Si1ty-two years ago, in November, 1900,
President Adams and his family came on
from Philadelphia, and occupied the White
House, which had not then received its
name, the light gray free-stone of which it
is built not having beon painted until after
the interior had been burned by the Brit
ish. When Mrs. Adams moved in, the
house was not finished, and in her letters
she gave amusing descriptions Of the dis
comforts to which she was subjected. The
east room was used by her laundry maids
to hang their clothes up TO dry on lines
stretched across it. The main staircase
was not erected, and during the residence
Of the Adamses there, until they vacated
the house for President Jefferson, they
only used two rooms on the lower floor, and
six chambers.-BoSton Journal.

A little financial operation is reported
in Louisville dispatch to the CONNER
eial. While the rebel army occupied Ken
tucky, a wealthy and prominent rebel cit
izen gave information which led to the
seizure Of several hundred dollars worth
Of bacon belonging to 8 Union man, the
rebel army taking the meat and paying
for it in Confederate scrip. The rebel cit
izen, day or two ago, learning he was
likely to be called to account for his con-
duct and not liking to answer in his own
neighbOrhOod, came to Louisville and re-
ported to the Provost Marshal General.
Being asked what he had been doing, he
replied, nothing. ThereupOn the charge
was read to him, and as he could make no
satisfactory denial, the Marshal gave him
awriting, substantially as follows:
"YOu viii return to Washington coun-
ty, 60 TO Mr.. --, and pay to him, in
current funds, the value Of his bacon at
the time it was taken from him, and this
viii entitle you to any Confederate notes
he msy have received for the same. When
you have thus settled with him, you will
report yourself at this Office, to take the
eath, give bond, and be discharged"
This policy wiz be pursued in similar
cases hereafter in Kentucky.

The following General Order has been
issued respecting the observance of the
Sabbath day In the army and navy:
EXECUTIVE MANSION, WAszISsToS, Nov ls.
The President, Commander-in-Chief of
the army and navy, desires and enjoins the
orderly observance of the Sabbath BY the
officers and men of the military and naval
service. The Importance of man and beast
for the prescribed weekly rest, the sacred
rights of Christian soldiers and sailors,
becoming Difference to the best sentiments
Of Christian people, and a due regard
for the Divine Will demand that Sun
day labor in the army and navy
be reduced to the measure Of strict
necessity. The discipline and character
Of the national forces should not suffer, nor
the cause they defend be imperiled, by the
proclamation Of the day or name of the Most
High. At this time Of public distress adopt
the words Of Washington in l776: "Men
may find enough TO do in the service of
God and their country, without abandon
ing themselves to vice and immortality"
The first general order issued by the
Father of his country after the Declaration
Of Independence, indicates the spirit in
which our institutions were founded snd
should ever be defended.
The General hopes and trust that every
officer and man will endeavor to live and
act as becomes a Christian soldier defend
ing the dearest rights and privileges of his
country. ABRAHAM LINCOLN.

LAlAA ANAAuLa
The Government has recommended,
through the Commissioner Of Agriculture,
the prscticsbility Of procuring fax and
hemp as a substitute for cotton. Results
Of the most important character to the
manufacturing interests Of the United
States are promised by the perfection Of
this valuable invention for making from
unrOttsd fax 8 substance resembling cot
ton.
In this connection, the Toledo Blade
speaks of what is being done BY the Flax
Cotton Company Of New York. The test
ing Of the fax within the last few weeks,
by this cOmpsny, has demonstrated the
matter to a certainty. They have taken
the fax straw as it came from the thresh-
ing floor Of the farmer, run it through the
brakes and duster, and from every ton of
straw, obtained over 500 pounds Of aax cot
ton, which is as soft and silky as the best
specimens Of sea island cotton, and Of far
greater strength and durability, and at a
cost Of less than six cents per pound The.
crest mystery which seems to have been
connected with the manufacture Of fax, is
swept away. It mixes and harmOnizes
WITH wool OF cotton, and can be as freely.
and finely spnn as wool or cotton. The
AOckpoFt Company have manufactured
nuslins and dealieOes, which have been pro-
nOuneed far superior tOcOttOn fabrics, and
hsving almost the strength Of linen. They
ara nov 80 increasing their machinery as
to enter very largely..into its manufacture.

Prospects Of BattIe in the south-weut.

writing from General Grants army, says /;
1.-THE war in the Southwest is war Of

advance no faster than he can repair and
defend what is abandoned by the enemy.
Taking everything into consideration, the
prospect for battle before the holidays,
is very dim just now; albeit, it may be

we can not calculate with any degree Of

Tie Fortress Monroe correspondent vi the
Philadelphia "lnquircr'' writes to that paper
as follows from Fortress Monroe, Ang. 30:
An aHiay took place in the hotel at For
tress Monroe, yesterday afternoon, which has
caused some excitement and comment among
the Union people of this place..
Mr.. Berford, correspondent Of the New
York "Times,' was expressing his diSappro-
baton to paroled Rebel officer being enter
tanned by one Of our prominent Federal Off
GERS, when the Secession officer stepped up and
said: 81 ain the Secessioni=t you speak Of.
" hat have you to say about II :" At the
name time the Federal officer said to Mr.. Bcr-
ford, 'rrhis is my friend; and in future, what
you have To say Of him you will please say
to me- He then took his Secesh friend out
Of the room.
Captain Mcintyre, Of the New York Ninety
niGth regiment, then approached Mr.. Bcrford
AMI exclaimed, "ThlS Is my quarrel. You
have liz night 70 express your upmion here.
As ynl were told yesterday, you arc no gen.
ticmnn.
Mr.. Hcrori replied, "that is false, and any
one who says it lies" Whcreupon Captain
McIntvre struck Mr.. Bertord severe blow
across the face, the ELECTS Of which lie will
carry for soTe weeks.

tween the Monitor and the Ncrrinac last

OF the new Mcrrimac. .lr. Bertord is an
aged gentleman, perfectly loyal, and worthy
tie respect OF gentlemen.
There is much complaint made @ this
transaction by all the Union officers con-
necteI with the Union army.
