SURE BUT DANGEROUS REMEDY.-Set-
ting your house on fire to get rid of YER
min is a rather expensive and dangerous
remedy. A Mrs. Burnett, in Pike street
N. Y, accidentally tried this operation
last evening. To eradicate colony OF
bed bugs she saturated the bedstead with
benzine, the explosive fluid caught fire
from the lamp, and she soon had con.
flagration. The bugs were pretty
thoroughly burned out, but so was all
the furniture and the upper part of the
house before the fire was put out. The
damage is estimated at thousand dol
lars.-Br0okIyn Eagle.

Opposition TO Union Men.

RALEIGH, July 24-Holden has recov-
cred from his recent illness and is at his
post again.
The large land holders in this city and
county, who comprise the aristOcracy and
leading rebel sympathizers, made a
strong effort through Governor Holden
to have the Government tax suspended,
but failed, and are now promptly pay
ing their taxes to save their property.
The Raleigh Progress continues to
make fresh disclosures of the designs of
the rebel element in this State against
Union men and negroes, to be carried
into effect when the troops are with
drawn, and the new State Government
goes into operation.
1.-The Raleigh Standard says rebel pa
pers are springing up in different parts
of the State, which openly denounce the
Government and promulgate treason of
such dangerous character that their
immediate suppression would be justi-
fable
Most of the Federal appointees in
North Carolina are unable to qualify, not
being in position to take the oath pre-
scribed by Congress. Among this num-
Der is Hon. R p Dick, recently appoint
ed District Judge.
The announcement that the arrogant
rebels of Virginia are to receive the full
benefit of the confscation act. is making
many friends for the Uuionists in North
Carolina, where the same vigor is great
ly needed.

General ThOmas and the Civil Au-
th0rities of Tennessee.
Press Dispatch.

NASHVILLE, July 28.-This mornings
Press published letter from General
Thomas to Gov Brownlow Thomas
says: am only waiting the report from
Col Dcbosssy to determine my course as
to Emerson Etheridge. If he has been
guilty of language charged against hinI,
he is clearly amenable to the military
authorities, in the absence of civil, and
liable to be tried before q military COM
mission. My attention has been called
to speeches of other parties.
As yeti have not seen any report that
would Justify the interference OF the mil
itary authority If, however, there be in
the Judgment of the Government at any
time necessity for such interference, in
consequence of inability or indisposition
OH the part of civil authorities of the
State to take action, an expression of
such desire on the part of the Governor
of the State on the inability or indisposi-
tion of the civil authority to act, will
be sufficient. | will cause the parties
complained of to be attended to.
Military authority will not be resorted
to unless the civil authorities fail to act,
either from inability or indispOsition.
Even in the event of the failure of the
civil authorities in their duties, the mil
itary should refrain from interference in
all minor cases, because the military
should, as far as possible, sustain the
civil government, and never assume its
functions, unless i'll cases i'll which
prompt action is necessary to insure the
public safety.
In conclusion, the Governor may rest
assured that he will be fully sustained in
carrying out the policy of the State and
General Governments, as long as troops
are on duty in the State.
Governor Brownlow has called upon
Thomas to send troops into the various
counties to preserve order and protect
the ballot box.

Wool Grower. C.aye.si.. in Orsss.'

Wool Growers Cenyentiou IN Orc8on
It will prove interesting to many of our
readers to learn that weli-attended
Convention of wool growers has been
held in Oregon to promote this useful
branch of industry, and provide for max
ing shipments directly to the East, so as
to avoid the enlbarrassments ola limited
home market, and the inconvenience and
loss attendant upon shipping Oregon
wool to California, there to be mixed
with the inferior grades produced in That
State. The Convention appointed CON-
mittee of five, with instructions to com
pute the probable cost of grading. ballng
and shipping wool from this point to the
East, and to report the resnli' OF theIf
Investigations 1t was estimated tnat
eight cents per pound would cover the
whole charges, including five per cent. on
the gross sales. The members OF the
convention pledged themselves not to
take less than twenty-five cents per
pound for their wool. Those present
promised to furnish twenty thousand
pounds for his shipment to the East
Permanent organization was entered into
to be called the "Wool Growers Associ-
alton" Correspondence is to be had
with parties in various portions OF the
State, and there is to be an endeavOr to
engage the co operation of all who have
an interest in aiding this important
branch of economy and trade.
From data made up by members of the
convention, it appears that the present
surplus of wool in Oregon is not less than
350,000 pounds. This is the estimated
amount, after making all deductions for
what can be manufactured in the State.
After allowing the various mills in the
State sutficiency of material to enable
them to run until next year, it is claimed
that Oregon will still have large
amount of wool to send away.
