the steamer George Leary, from Baltimore He

manned there all day in close consultation with

to make Nh Davis rather anxious concerning
his authorizations Of a release, or a speedy &C

vention held at Knoxville to-day, to appoint
delegates for the East Tennessee Congressional

EFFECTS OF FANAfICISM.

THE RADICAL RIOT IN New ORLEANS OF
the bloody work accomplished III New Orleans
on Monday by the Radicals, the New York
World says ARMED and excited by the Rad
zeal emissaries Of disorder in New Orleans, a
number Of misguided negroes in that city yes
terday brought bloody collision with the
people and the police, in which several persons
were killed. Those who, with the Tribune, treat
the Radical plots and preparations for renewed
civil war at the North as Chinese thunder, will
find it difficult, we fancy, to salve their con-
sciences with such phrases in the presence Of
the saneulnary aud shocking scenes OF which
the chief city of the South has now, by the
III Vaccinations of their fellow couspirators, been
made the theatre. That the law will triumph
in New Orleans over this attempt at iuaugura
ting new St. Domingo, We do not doubt for a
moment. But should be false to our duty
if we hesitated to enforce the appeal which is
made by this lamentable occurrence to the con-
science and the common sense of the American
people against the mad aud selfish policy Of the
Radical majority ir Congress, and If the Radi-
ca ag:tat rs throughout the North aud Vest
These men have but one theory of political &C
ton. To blow upon the dying embers of Sec
tiopal hate to infiame all the passions which
craftsmanship and Christianity alike summon us
to soothe and to subdue aud to do these evil
things, reckless of all the. ruin which the doing
Them must entail upon the nation, has been
their persistent effort during every week and
day and hour of the Congress just closed.

STATE NEWS.

Hon. ROBT. B. GILLIAM.-We are author
lied to state that it will be impossible for this
gentleman, recently selected Of the Dele
gates from this Congressional District to the
Phiadel phia Convention, to attend that body,
as his Fall Circuit commences in Harnett Coun-
>ty on the End Monday in August. This is
what we expected at the time, from what we
know of Judge Giam's iudisposition to engage
in public labors outside of his. official duties
Raleigh Sentinel.
Because he is Judge he ought not to have been
selected.
EDGECoMBE CRoPs.-There is little doubt
that our county, Edgecombe, will produce near
ly as much cotton aud corn this season as It ever
did This is due to the energy of our planters,
and the manner 10 which our freedmen have
of money this fall, aud any quantity of Iuu.-
Tdrboro' ,Southerner.
Hon. Thos S. Ashe, of Arson, and Arch
Mclean, of Cumberland, have been elected dele
gates fron the Sd District to the Philadelphia
Convention.
In the 9TH District, NJ. Patton of Buucombe,
and Gen. S Z. Patterson of Caldwell, have been
selected delegates.
IMPROVED APPLE PEALER-Mr Wesley A.
Coe, one of our most skilfu and ingenious me-
We have ever seen 1t peois the apple, cores
and quarters it at rapid rate and does the
work well. He has applied for patent, and is
prepared to fill orders for the machine for those
who may need or desire them this season.

DAVIDSON CoLLEGE,-A correspondent of
the North Carolina Presbyterian says that the
Trustees OF this College, at the late annual
meeting, with great unanimity devised liberal
things Tor the institution over which they have
been PLACED as guardians. The funds of the
College are in much better condition than
some OF its friends at one time anticipated-
The Board felt that they would be safe in ad-
ding. to the number Of able and experienced
Professors which they already have in the
Faculty. They therefore. appointed meeting
on the 18th day of September next, for the Dur.
pose of electing two additional Professors.
REAL EsTATE-We observe that, in mapy
of the leading cities aud towns of this State
where, short time ago, property was held at
high figures real estate has greatly declined in
value and is offered for sale at rates which, a
few months ago, would have been prohounced
ridiculously low. The cause of this is plain.
The increase of population has not been as ra,
pid as was anticipated, and the demand for land
property has been comparatively light. .
= But the case is different here, in Raleigh
here, 1t seems, real estate is steadily advancing,
and many men are becoming rich merely by the
appreciation of their property 1t is said, that
IN certain portions OF the city, real estate has
doubled IN value within the past year-Ral-
.eigh Progress.

WORK AND THRIVE.

There is too much idleness in this country
1t is breeding vice and immortality 1t is hilng
our jai1s with criminals. Crime has been on
the gradual increase for six months. This
comes of ideness and idleness comes in great
measure of that abominable idea that white
man cannot be gentleman and work. He must
get money, for that is indispensable. But
how That's it. Young men have not the
disposition to work, and by patient economy
secure basis for business operations They
must have it moao This suggests expedients
These lead to temptation and temptation leacs
to crime. Hence we have murders, horse thefts,
and breaches Of trust
Why should young man consider it degra-
ding or even undignifed to work President
johnson purchased his present residence in
East Tennessee with the proceeds OF bis labor
as tailor. One of the ea,thiest bankers In
New York commenced in the world gar
dener, selling to the huckster the products OF
his own labor Gen Pat. Cleburn, at one time
the lead of the Arkansas bar, subsequently the
ruling spirit in powerful army, began life as a
day Iaborer. JAdge Reagan, Postmaster Cen
eral Of the late Confederate States, was once a
wood chopper on the banks of the Mississippi
The world is full of such examples. But where
can we point to successful man who spent his
earl fmanhood "waiting for something to turn
up"
Young man if you would succeed, go to
acork If you cannot obtain clerkship, take
something else. You had better be rolling
over barrels, or blowing, building fence, or
chopptng cord wood Or carrying the hod, than
doing nothing. Quit depending upon your
friends. Strike cut for yourself Learn at once
the greatest Of all lessons, that of setreliance
Have a head, "a will, purpose Of your own. Go
to work and watch your opportunity. The soil
upon which you have been reared never refuses
a competence to those who are willing to dig.
Then, if you can do 20 better. dig. 1t will pay
to dig. Nor is there anything undignifed or
vulgar in it. 1t is honorable, if you choose to
make it so. Then dig and watch your oppor-
tunity. But don't stand idle and "wait for
something to turn np."-AHopta Era.
