D~IsrLLArIoN OF SPIRrUous LlouoRs.-A
friend writing US from Davie county, says /:
Il understand there are persons distiiinc
whiskey in this County, in violation of law.5
And a friend writing US from Alanaace, says:
" Preparations are being made in this neigh
borhood for d~istiling whiskey out of corn as
scarce as it is. We can hardly get bread
now, but what will be our condition if the
corn is turned into whiskey :"
The law passed by the Legislature at one
of its recent sessions, is very severe on per-
SONS who may distill spiritnous liquors from
corn, wheat, peas, peanuts, oats, rye, sugar,
cane or sugar cane seed, syrup, molasses, rice,
dried fruit, pototoes, or any mixture of any
or either of them. The penalty is fine and
imprisonment-the fine not to. be less
than $500, and the Imprisonment not les,
than sixty days. Every day or part of q
days distilling constitutes a distinct offence

House of Simon, at Jaffa-

One of the few localities which claim TO
represent a historical scene of the New
Testament, is the site of the house of ST.
mon, the tanner, at Jaffa. The house it
self is a comparatively modern building,
with no pretensions to interest or antique
ty. The outer door is from the street in
which stands the Latin and Armenian
converts, bat no church or convent ap-.
pears to have been built on the site, and
no other is shown as such. The house
is occupied by Mussulmans, and regarded
by them as sacred a small mosque or
praying place is in one of the rooms, which ,
the fact that the Lord Jesus here asked
| God for. a meal, and the table came down
at or.ce," a remarkable instance OF the
vulgar corruption of miracles so common
Ia Mussulman traditions and, In this
case, curious as an evident confusion of
the feeding Of the five thousand with the
vision of Peter. Such is tradition, even
from the fact of its distortion, and from
its want of European sanction, has some
claim to be heard. And this claim is re-
markably confirmed by the circumstances,
of the situation. The house is close " on
the sea shore;" the waves beat against the
low wall of its court yard. In the court
yard - 3 spring of fresh water, such as
must have always been needed for the
purpose of tanning, and, which, though
no longer SO used, is authentically repor-
ted to have been so used in a tradition
which describes the premises to have been
long employed as a tannery. It is curious
that two other celebrated localities may
| be still identified in the same manner
One is in Jerusalem. At the southern end
of the Church of Sepulchre stood the pal
ace of the Knights of St. John. When
Saladin took the Holy City, it is said that
, he determined to render the site of the
palace forever contemplate, by turning it
into a tanuery. And a tsunery still re-

FOR THE SPIRIT OF THE AGE.
TO MOLLIE-OF ROLESvILLE, N. C

Thy friend has heard thy SOL IT complain
Has heard thy tender note of woe
Are all thy hopes in the green grave lain
With a noble form laid low
Art thou like me, Oh Mollie. dear,
Thy heart upon the red field lying?
My friend fell bSavely, without fear,
And the wintry winds are DER him signing.
He led his brave boys on the foe,
thickly round him flying
Onward! Onward F.! mid forms laid low,
O'er dead and mid the groans of dying.
Onward, onward, brave boys, he cried,
Hurrah! for !" Death or Victory -
Onward it will not be denied.
Hurrah (! brave boys, we will be free,
But OH too sad, too sad to say,
The fate befell my brave, brave soldier ;
AS victory dawned DER all the day,
He fell-nO Knight fell ever holder.
No more his thrilling voice will sound
On earth. no more his step will cheer
His followers DER the battle ground,
No more his firm command will hear,
/ do not know that thou hast laid
Thy hopes within a soldiers grave:
One thing / know, that thou AT thrown
Like me on tribnlation's wave.
Thou hast seen troubles dark and drear.
Thy young heart has been tried full deep:
Troubled, till every spark of hope
Has gone and left thee here to weep.
But we must give them up, ahl yes.
We must not longer sigh in pain;
Arise, God did it us to bless,
And He will give them back again.
Cast not away thy confidence,
For We have need of patience now -
God said, and he will be our friend.
Z And at his stern decree we bow.
God gave His only Son to save
/ A world which sin had made accursed.
But ali! He rose from out the grave.
And now He reigns DER all the blessed.
Farewell, and let thy tender heart
Its throbolngs and its pains forget
Icare for thee dismiss thy fears
Wen meet them up in heaven yet.

forms us that Mr.. Michael Baugh, residing
about eight miles west of that place, was way
laid and shot by some bushwhacker and killed.
He was on his way to town, and only about a
halt mile from his home when the cowardly
deed was perpetrated. He was shot with a
Minnie ball, weighing an ounce and half, from
a Belgium gun-the ball striking him almost
squarely in the breast and passing out near his
back bone, killing him, as it is thought, almost
instantly, Although he was robbed of what
Confederate money (S7OO) he had on his per-
son, the Banner does not believe that money
was the object Of the scoundrel who murdered
him.

DoINGs ABOUT SUFFoLK.-For several days
past, says the Petersburg Express of yester,
day, various and conflicting rumors have pre-
vailed here and in Richmond concerning the
movements of the enemy about Suffolk.
We have information direct from Suffolk as
late as Saturday last, and information as late
as Monday from the vicinity, The impression
prevails that the yankees are preparing to
evacuato the place. A week since most of the
able bodied dnegro men, both free aad slave,
were sent of, but to what point was not known.
On Saturday last the negro women were re.
ceiving passes to go to Norfolk and Ports
mouth. They have been fortifying for some
weeks past at Bowers Hill, the embankments
extending from Nansemond river to the Dis.
NAL Swamp, near Deep Creek. The yankee
officers and privates make free to assure the
citizens that the place is to be eva,uated, the
sqidi@a, being needed at other poiptss These
are the iOcls, as we have obtained thsA irom
reliable sources.
