Four Hundred Pard0ng Issued


NEw York, Oct. 14.-The Hera1d's
Raleigh correspondent snYS the n. O..
Convention Inns, among its other labors,
re-dtstricted the State for Congressional
representatives. There arc seven dis
tricts altogether, and as they now stand.
our Raleigh correspondent puts down
the LIST, Sd, 4th and 9th, as sure to elect
un4dulterated Union representatives,
and the 9th and eth as n little doubtful,
though tho Unionists arc confident OF
being able to carry them. The I'd dis
trict is said to DO strongly secession. It
Is believed. that an uncompromisinE
Union Legislature Will be elected.
The Herald's Richmond correspon-
dent OF the 18th, says, upto this writing
the indications are that you may rely
upon tho election OF the following
named gentleman in this district FOR
Congress, II. ]. Barbour. Tothe House
OF Virginia Delegates there is now no
doubt OF the election of n. NJ. Leo,
Ready r. Grattan md, Littleton Taxe+
we'll, from the city of Richmond, and
Franklin Shenrns,- for the countSt-nf
denrtco. It Is conceded that John II,
Gilmer will be elected to the State Sem
ate. Tho defeat OF Mr.. Charles Palmer
for the Senate is almost disastrous in
the Indication that he is tho listin-
gutshed Untonist, who some weeks since
was introduced, to President Johnson
and his Cabinet, at the Executive Man
sion, and was lnrgely complmented for
both his exalted character and services
to the Union throughout tho late war. /.
In Richmond tho returns arc favor
able to the election OF Charles Il. AIosby,
the eligible candidate of the 9th district.
J. II. Hayne Is probably elected in the
Sth district. The Constitutional amend
ment is adopted by an almost unani-
nous vote. II removes disability from
holding office, as applicable to thosewho

scribed for in Eastern Virginia, moro

How Man Kcp, Secret, Purchased
Farm aud Gpt sadly Sold.

Yesterday we met gentleman In
this city who very recently launched
out in what he supposed was n good
speculation, hut, "a the sequel will
show, got cgregiouslv sold. The
stony in reference to his case, which
is really true, N reference to which
we shall give licticious names, runs
thus:
Some time SINCE, Jones-.a hache.
lor--who owns farm near this city,
invited friend, Brown, to 90 on
sporting expedition. The two pro.
cecdcd and enjoyed good days
sport, hunting in the ncighhorine
woods, and while wandering about
they crossed Jones farm, in which
there is spring of water. Brown be-
ing very thirsty, partook of a drink
at the spring, but did not relish the
water. He made no complaints,
however, hut in day or two made
a proposition to purchase one-half Of
the farm on which the spring is loca-
ted. Jones, who had no idea selling
the property, replied in humorous
strain that lac would take ten thous'
and dollars for the land After par.
taking Of supper, the two gentlemen
separated, and on the following day,
Brown went to New York to attend
some matters or business.
While mt the latter place, he re
nnwcd his proposition TO purchase
Jones farm, and finally purchased it
for twenty thousand dollars cash -
The necessary papers were made out
and day or two since Brown became
proprietor Of the coveted land, Now
comes the sequel. Brown, MS soon
as he had the property in his own
hands, began to wear cheerful as
pect, clapping and rubbing his hands
in great glce, much to tho amusement
OF his flicnd, A dialogue, substan'
TALLY as follows, ensued:
Brown --"Do Won remembcr Jones
when you and l went cunning some
time since?'
Jones-"I do"
Brown "Well, when 7 stopped
down and attempted to drink ont ot
that spring on the farm, | discovered
oil in large quantities there. In fact
there was so much of it on tho water
that 7 could not drink it. That be
ing the case, determined to kceT
tho secret, purchase the land, and
now I am going 10 bore Cor oil "

one OF the most thriving men in the
village, and many marvellous stories
were told to account for the sudden
alteration in his affairs. II was gen.
orally agreed that distant relative

which had entirely relieved him OF
his difficulties. Old customers and
new ones crowdad in upon him =
They had never before realized the
beauty aud durability of his work. -.
The polite butcher selected the best
aud choicest pieces of meat for his
inspection, rs he entered, and was
totally indifferent as TO the time Of

to inform him that his best hides
awaited his orders. The teacher ac.
companicd the children home to tea,

"Just rs l expected" exclaimed
uncle Joshua, rubbing his hands ex
ultingly, as the grateful shoemaker
called upon him ut the expiration OF

which had been loaned him in the

some other claim upon his bepcvo-

cheerful countenance, returned to his

The Bodleian Library, at Oxford,
England, has just got another treasure
IN the shape of new autograph Of
Shakespeare. It's written in faded ink
on the title page Of small octave
Aldine edition of 'Ovid's Metamorpho-
ses, Q5o2.) The signature is abridged
into 'Wm. Shr.' The London Atheas.
@'en adds tina. 'it is at once evident
that,. unless it is a forgery, tie hand
which wrote it is that which xcned
the will of Shakspeare,' and the sig
nature is corrcborated by that Of the
owner in 1852, who has written with
IN the cover, This little hook of Ovid
was given to me by w. Hall, who
said it was once VII. Shakspeare's.'

Serious Affair in the Market.

On Saturday evening very serious
disturbance took place in the market,
causing a great deal of excitement, and
resulting in the killing of one man
(colored) and wounding of three
others, Zouave and two colored uen.
The particulars, as reported, are as
follows:
A small squad of Zouaves had been
ordered on police duty at the market.
One of them, while patroling the
middle market, came into collision with
party consisting, it is said, Of a
number of the 2lst U. S. G.. T. and
the sash Massachusetts, Volunteers,
(colored,) in addition to number of
outsiders. The Iouave sent for assist
ance, when the squad came up, ana
afterwards the whole company on
police duty arrived from their quarters,
when the market was cleared. In the
melee which occurred previous to the
arrival of the company. the colored
soldiers fired volley among the
crowd, killing we'll known respe..a-
sble colored man named james Binr,
badly wouuding in the head Corporal
Betry, of the Zouaves, and severely
woundisg two othex colored men. Iu
the fight stones and bricks, Sc, were
liberal!y used. The unfortunate de-
ceased, at the time he was shot, was
at his stand engaged in selling eggs.
The Zouaves, after the voiley, mair
charge, dispensing the colored troops.
1t is also reported that the Corporal
Of the 54th Massachusetts, who march
ed his squad to the market without
orders, was intoxicated, and has been
put under arrest He clsims that he
went there to'quell the disturbance.
During Saturday night several dis
turbances occurred in other por;ious Of
the city, leading to the NOS: cxag-
gerated reports, most Of s;hich, after
vigilant search, we are enabled to
state were entirely without foundation.
