be taken to increase what was known as the post
fund, which order Maj. Gee did not have enforced,
and portion of the rations were so used
Witness described the palisade around the pri-
son, and stated it to be rather frail, especially
that part that built to enlarge the grounds
after the prisoners arrived-a man might easily
shake it with his hand, and there were places
where the plank did not reach the ground, under
which persons could creep by removing the dirt
many prisoners did escape in this way-thinks
500 or co. in alone or two hundred were re-
capturcd-they were not punished for escaping
Witness gave the facts connected with the kill
ing of Lieut. Davis. He had just come from the
town to the prisotlskpd was Informed by Mr..
Lyery that one of the prisoners, an officer had
been shot by sentinel, and that the others were
very much eXcitcd-went into the prison when
Gen. Hays, one of the prisoners, asked that the
sentinel should be removed, and witness promis-
ed it should be done. Witness started with some
of the prisoners to look for pin or badge that
had belonged to Lieut.. Davis, when the same
sentinel warned him not to approach, and it was
not until he had called the corporal of the guard
and some other officer that he was allowed to go
to the place
Before this a guard had been placed on the in
side of the palisade and about ten feet from it.
and the path they trod was known in that part of
the prison as the dead line; the tree at which
Lieut.. Davis was shot was between this line and
the palisade. The sentinel Who shot Lieut. Davis
was lad about fourteen years old, and witness
did not think him of sound mind-thinks if he
had possessed ordinary discretion he would not
have shot him. The shooting of Lieut. Davis
cast q gloom over the whole garrison, and Aiai.
Gee expressed great regret at the circumstance
he removed the sentinel pursuant 10 the request
of Gen. Hays and the other prisoners 1t was
against the orders for prisoners to cross tie dead
line, and if Lieut. Davis crossed this line, witness
did not think the tinel broke the strict letter
of the order
Court adjourned to 10 o'clock Saturday.

The Revival Interest still continues un-
abatcd in The City AT the Baptist Church the
number of penitents is still ige and accessions
to the Church are of daily occurrence. At the
Methodist Church, on Sunday and Sunday night,
the interest on the subject of religion seemed to
take strong hold on the feelings of the audience,
a number who had previously made a profession
of faith, attached themselves 10 the Church, ard
the number of penitents was increased.
al the African Church, also, series Of meetings
have been held and still continued, and large
numbers have made public demonstration of a
desire to become christians. Many have already
made 4 profession of religion, and many more are
seeking.

Robbery.-The store of Mr.. Alex. Peasants,
four miles from Raleigh, was broken into on
Saturday night last, and the whole of the contents
Il small stock amounting to about one hundred
dollars taken away. Articles, such as candy,
tobacco, and other small wares, were found along
the road leading toward Raleigh, by which the
course of the depredators was traced nearly to
tie city. From all the facts, it is pretty certain
the robbery was not committed by colored per-

within o sina.e bar We there!o !ore repeat what wo
have above stated as to the relative merits of concert
singing and the opera.
Madame Paiopa has been great favorite sinoo
the evening of Der debut here. Last might she
almost excelled herself and received perfect ova-
lion OF applause. She commenced with the cavattna
from Semsronide, entitled "Bell RAzzio," and sang
it IN magn6cent style. On sn encore she gave
an English song, Happy Thoughts come
oer me Stealing" in clear, rich
voice, and much musical expression. Her lower
notes are fully equal TO other parts of her register
and tins IS the more surprising because of being
priIha soprano of great aud lofty range and having
immense powers Of duration upon a sostenuto, or
holding, protracted passage. The al Idience were
greatly pleased also with the song she sang the
second part, "Bv.and-by I'll Come Again" (signlG-
cant and appropriate wordsil and with the encore

BRITISH JNTELLIGENCE.-The latest file
of the London Times received here contains
lengthy editorial on the result of the cleo
tions in October, and states that the principal
objection, on the part of the South, is because
if adopted, one of its provisions "disqualifies
from citizenship every one who served
in the Rebellion, from General Lee to the
youngest drummer boy" This is fair spe-
cimen of the intelligence OF Great Britain in
American affairs. The leading journal Of the
kingdom does not understand the simplest
provisions OF the great question OF our land.
Every child in America knows that the Con-
stitutional amendment does not disqualify
any of the Rebels, except such ms entered the
Rebellion after having taken an oath to sup
port the Constitution of the United States.
AS it is not customary tor us to administer
such an oath to such persons as are suited
for drummer boys, nor yet to private citizens,
it will be seen that only such United States
officers as entered the Confederacy and be-
came perjurers as well as traitors are ex-
cluded.

argued for two, others foe millions, and 1t Is
now settled and conceded that this sum will
be the minimum. It is indeed probable, at
the rate some churches and individuals are
going, that the aggregate will be nearer ten
than five millions.

Methodism has furnished this and other
lands many notable names in Church and

can look forward another century without
the conviction and hope that she is destined
to play most important part, not only in
the elevation, instruction, and Christianiza-

inhabit our own country, but also in the
evapgelization OF the whole world?
