that having closed out the most of their Sum

will open much higher this season than last, the

FROM UEYTGO.

Our Mexican dispatches are dated at era
Cruz, August 6, and further intelligence from
that country comes by way of Cuba, dated Au-
gust II. Imperial affairs arc approaching q
crisis which threatens to leave the empire with
out an emperor. The French acknowledge
that the whole Mexican people arc up in arms
against them. Conspiracics are very common,
and the invaders, it is thought, will have to
leave ingoriousy and in haste The news OF
the fall of Tampico had revived the spirits OF
the Mcxcans at Vera Cruz. The Emperor
had placed the departments of Michoacan and
Tancitaro under martial law, and General Men
dez had been placed in command. Tuxpam,
Tulancingo and Eacatlan were also served the
same way, with General Count dc Thun in
command. The intention of the late attempt
of the conspirators, at Vera Cruz, was to seize
all the military and civil officers belonging to
the empire in the city, the Custom House was
to be seized, forced loan levied on all French
merchants, and the principal leaders of the
conspiracy were then to make their escape
About one hundred soldiers were bribed, most
ly of the Egyptian corps, and the liberal par
ties outside the city were duly informed of the
intention and were to cooperate. But the
whole thing was discovered by means of a cap
turcd despatch, the principals we're arrested
and the bribcd soldiers relieved Another Of
the captured letters of Pricto has been publish

A STRANGE DEc1sIoN,-A strange decision
has just been rendered in North Carolipa.-
Chief Justice Ruffin has declared against the
proposed new constitution Of the State and the
late State Convention. The Chief Justice says
II consider that this is no constitution, be-
cause your convention was not legitimate
convention, and had no power to make a con-
stitution for US, or alter that which we had
and have I object to the organization OF your
convention because it was called without the
consent of the people, by the President Of the
United States, or under his ordcrs-an act OF
clear and despotic usurpatlon.

TIE CHOLERA IN RICHMoND.-It behooves
our citizens to be calm, prudent and abstemi-
Gus, in the presence of the cholera. There can
be no doubt, we presume, that it has made its
appearance here in the last day or two. We
should all cndeavor to discard unmanly fears
to be prudent in what we cat and drink; to
observe personal cleanliness; to purify our
dwellings, out-houscs and yards; to preserve
our cheerfulness, and avoid all Irregularities.
The dreadful scourge may pass lightly over our
city, or it may press heavily upon US. We
should hope for the best, while we all delber-
ately prepare for the worst. The emergency
is such as to demand all the vigilance, activity
and presence of mind Of the City Council, the
Board of Health and the Police-Rich Wing.

FTRE.-An attempt was made last Satur-
day night, between II and II o'clock, to fire
Capt. W H. Webb's premises. on Caldwell
ST., hut owing to the salutary effect of CO.
pious shower of rain during the early part Of
the night, and the timely assistance of SeVe~
raj neighbors, it was happily frustrated.
There seems to be an evident design to de-
stroy the town, and it behooves the citizens
to be on the alert. Would it not be well to-
establish a permanent and efficient police
force, and, in the absence Of fire depart~
ment, organize hook and ladder company
A real alarm bell, too, one that would arouse
the citizens in every section of the town, and
suburbs, is needed. 49,.

ing notice of Gen. Gary.
We were gratfed yesterday to receive a
visit from General NJ. W Gary, of South
Carolina, a cavalry officer of merit and dIsS
tinctioR during the late war. At its outs
break he raised company, which he coms
manded, and at the first battle of Manassas
his command fought with conspicuous brave
ry capturing number of guns from the
enemy. From the position Of Captain, Ga
rey rose through all the intermediate grades,
was made rigadier>General, and placed in
command Of a brigade Of cavalry, which
participated in many of the hard~fought
battles waged for the possession of Rich.
nnond, and repulsing, single>handed, several
advances upon the city. General Carey, re-
posing upon his well-earned military la9rels,
has entered upon the practice of law at Edge

The PoPE.-It is announced that for some
time past the health of the Pope has ap~
peared to be failing, and his condition causes
no little anxiety to his Cardinals with whom
he speaks frequently of approaching death.
Plus TX, the present Pope, was born in May,
1892, and is "a years old. He assembled the
Papal throne in 1916, and has occupied. it
twenty years. It is stated that there is a
general feeling in Rome that no Pope will
hold his, office longer than did St. Peter,
who is said to have governed the Church for
25 years. Adrian I. was Pope nearly, "a
days; Plus VII, % years, 2 months and six
DAYS, whilst several other Popes governed
the Church for 81 years. It is generally
agreed that the whole number Of Popes was

WHOSE CHILD IS Ir.-When Shernan'S
army stopped at Smithfeld, N. c., about
fifteen months since, .(says the Charleston
Courier there was found with it little girl,
five or six years of age, of bright counte>
nance and pleasant ways, evidently we'll
bred thus far, who, the soldiers said, fol-
lowed them from South Carolina, Georgia
or Tennessee. The corps to which the little
girl seemed attached camped near the house
of lady who had little girl Of nearly the
same age, and the two little ones became so
fondly attached, that the lady induced the
soldiers to give the child to her, and she has
been with her ever since. The Child has
dark, eyes, and is quite pretty. She had been
so long with the army that She could give no
intelligb BILE account Of her home. The lady
who has possession Of this little wandeTer, is is
very much attached to her, and treats her in
every way as her own daughter. Parties
interested are referred to the ''Baptist Min
ister," Smithdeld, Johnston county, North
Carolina. The papers of South Carolina,
Georgia and Tennessee are requested to copy
this information.

The PRoTRACTED MEETING.-The meet
ing at the Methodist Church, we are pleased
to say, shows no sign of abatement. 1t is
now in its third week, and the interest mani~
tested in the large nightly attendance is
worthy of christian community. The
number of penitents is large, and gratifying,
alike to pastor, and his able helpers while
several have added themselves to the church
membership. No more fitting period could
have been selected for this protracted meets
ing: while violence, decentralization and sin,
Of every character, teens through the length
and breadth of our land, counter influence
should be brought to bear by the religious
and well inclined to arrest if possible this
reign of sin: The 7ials of the divine wrath
are now poured out upon US, and we are
afflicted and Inundated, for an all-W,iSe pur-
nose, and the good and true of all branches
of the christian church should realize this
condition and set an exam pie by precept and
practice for good, thatwe may come through
it purified and worthy of the blessings GodS
mercy has in store for his people.
