Gen. Sherman,s Mission to Mexico.
eWashingtonc correspondent of the New

ok Times says :=-es=-
Gen. Sherman had another interview with
the President to- day, after the, session of the
Cabinet, at which he accepted the military
diplomatic mission to Mexico, which stated
yesterday had been rendered to him. He
will, therefore, leave for Ohio tomorrow, and,
after arranging some private affairs, he will
leave for Mexico probably within ten days,
accompanied by Col. Campbell, Minister to
that Republic. The Administration is graft
fed at the prompt action of Gen. Sherman,
and the hope is confidently entertained that
the presence of an officer of such rank and
distinction will be sufficient Indication of
the earnestness of this Government in the
measures it is taking to aid the restoration
of the republic, and that it will render the &C
tual presence of United States troops on
Mexican soil unnecessary. Gen. Sherman's
precise mission is both military and diplo-
matte He goes to sustain Minister Camp
bell in all the diplomatic relations which may
be re-estabhshed, and empowered also with
full direction as to the use of military power
in any emergency requiring it. The very
important nature of this work is thus appar-
emit, and the President is anxious that it not
only shall be in safe and able hands, but that
our representatives shall reach the scene of
action as soon as possible. The name of Gen.
Grant was at first suggested as the proper
person for this position of military envoy,
but as he cannot we'll be spared from the
pressing duties consequent upon the reorgan-
ization of the army, Gen. Sherman was selec-'
ted, he having declined the tender of the
War Department, which was made by the
President. When the change does occur in
the latter Department, it is altogether proba-
BILE that Gen. Grant will assume its duties"
1t is stated that the United States govern
ment is to act as a sort of protectorate to
Mexico; that Macmillan is to retire. and the
liberal government of Juarez is to be main
tanned and the United States is to have
Lower California and large slices from Chi
huihua and Sonora. Gen. Sherman is emf
nently fitted to attend to all these matters.

ANNOUNCEMENT.
LINCOLN AND THE OVERTHROW 0FSLAYER1
LINCOLN AND THE OVERTHROW OF SLAVERY
We propose to publish, early in the Fab of 1866,
THE
History of Abraham Lincoln,
AND
THE OVERTHROW OF SLAVERY.
By HON. ISAAC N. ARNOLD,
Late Member of Congress from Illinois.


MIR. ARNOLD WAS A Friend AND AS
of Congress during his entire Administration.
and from his arrival at the Capitol to the tiay of
his assassination was upon terms of confidential
friendship with him.
The work commenced nearly q year before
the death of Mr.. Lincoln and with his approval
The Author has aimed to give full history of the
life and administration of Mr.. Lincoln, and the
overthrow of Slavery. He commences with a
sketch of the history of Slavery from 1887 to the
repeal of the Missouri Compromise, describing
the conflict between Freedom and Slavery down
to 1860, and giving the origin, rise, and growth
of Anti Slavery. He gives history of the life of
Mr.. Lincoln, the hardshps of his early years, his
education, his career in the Illinois Gegislature
at the Bar, on the Circuit, in Congress- on the
Stump, the Lincoln and Douglas debate, and his
election to the Presidency.
Then follows history of his Administration
and of the various steps, Executive, Legislative
and Military, which resulted in the overthrow of
Slavery and the Shareholders rebellion and the
passage by Congress, and the adoption by the
States, of the Constitutional Amendment abolish
ing and prohibiting Slavery forever. Sketches of
the great debates in Congress of prominent Sena-
tors and Members, and of the leading men in the
Cabinet and at the head of the Armies. with a
general narration of the important military move
ments will be given.
The aim of the Authur has been to give truth
full history of the great drama of the rebellion
with Lincoln as the leading character, and to de-
scribe him as he was from youth until he became
the Emancipation of race, the Restorer of nation
al unity, and the Saviour of his country
The work will be large octave of notl than
600 pages, and will be sold by subscription.

Something Very ELEGANT.

We invite the attention of the New York
Times and other Northern journals, to the
following from the Salisbury Banner of this
State Speaking of the Legislature of this
State and the proposed constitutional amend

act, passed 5y the miserable Jaco6in mob of
conspirators, styling itself Congress, unless
he is unduly influenced by such southern
radical co-workers as Holden, Dockery, Dick,
and Logan. There may be some few that
will cast their votes in favor of its adoption,
but, our word for it, they will be such as can
lay no claim to character, influence, or prin-
ciplen

FUNERAL OF THE LATE DIR. DEWEY.
The last sad and melancholy tribute
of respect and love was paid to the
memory of our late worthy friend and
brother, DR.. Charles F. Dewey, yester-
day at eleven O'Clock. The services
were conducted by the Rev. S. M Frost,
of the Methodist church, at the resi-
dence of the deceased.
A vast concourse of the citizens of
Goldsboro', together with the members
of Wayne Lodge, A. Y. NJ, of which
body of DIR. d; was member, atten-
ded ON the solemn occasion, to mingle
their tears of sympathy with the affiic-
ted family, who mourn the loss of a
husband and father
The procession, as 1t moved down
East centre street to the cemetary,
presented a most solemn spectacle.
The tread of the vast number that
made up the procession, was slow and
silent, not a whisper, not a look, save
that of sorrow.
The masonic fraternity preceded the
hearse that contained the coffin
lowing, was a carriage, containing
Mrs. Dewey and the venerable father of
the deceased-and then came citizens
generally, forming line of some three
hundred yards in length.
The remains of DR.. Dewey were de-
posted in their last resting place, by
the Masons, with their solemn, but
beautiful, burial of the dead. THE
cold earth was shoveled in, and we
leave this brother, to meet no more,
till the last day, when the grave shall
be called on to give up its dead

We give below the vote for Governor of
this State in November, 1865. and October,
1866. Gov. Worth s vote will reach about
80, 600, and Cen Dockery's win be e ffac-
ton over 1000. An the Counties are re-
ported in the following table, except Ale
ghany, Camden, Currituck, Halifax, Mont
gomery, Pasquotank and Polk.
GOV. Worth was candidate, and every
effort was made to swell his vote. General
Doekery was not candidate. The small
vote polled for him in many Union Counties
would, of itself, prove that he was not re-
garded as candidate.
We do not publish the vote of 1865 by
way of comparison with the vote of 1866, so
far as Gen. Dockery is concerned, but simply
for information, and to show the small gains
made by Gov. Worth on his former vote.

PROF. HARRIss has published an impor-

" Bibliotheca Americana Vetustissima," rela-

1892 and 1861. Prof. HAIRLESS is native of
France and was for years, Professor of Mod

Claims Against the Federal Government

We have received letters from number of
loyal Unionists of this State, who suffered los
ses during the rebellion at the hands of fed
eral troops, asking if any provision has been
made to compensate them for such losses.
We reply, that there is a law of Congress
under which all loyal persons, vino can make
satisfactory proof of loyalty, will be able
when the State shall have been restored to the
Union to obtain compensation for their los
ses. The day after the Tennessee members
were admitted to their seats, on motion of
Col. Stokes, the law on this subject was ex-
tended to that State, and Tennessee claim
ants are now receiving their money.
But everything promotive of justice and
prosperity among our people is hindered by
our exclusion from the Union; and this ex-
clusion is the result of the unsubdued and
rebellious spirit by which those public men
are governed who are controlling our affairs

Hills majority,

Mr.. Cowles was very badly treated in por-
tions- of the district, and his defeat may be
traced to the obloquy poured upon him be-
cause of his staunch Unionism. He is a
thorough gentleman, of high intelligence,
and devoted patriot. The organ of Gov.
Worth called on the grand juries during the
campaign, to indict all such Union men as
Mr.. Cowles; and Mr. Cowles was subjected
to insults and indignities by secession DULLES
and towards, which inundated his friends,
and prevented his election. North-C Carolina,
under Gov. Worth, is just as well prepared
to be admitted to the Union as she was I'M
der Gov. Vance. Open the door and let her
in, we Radicals. The unrepentant rebels who
speak for her, demand their rights. Mean
while they propose to amuse themselves by
indicting the " Enthusiastically" loyal Union
