Col, Clinton A. Cilley, of New Jersey, late
Adjt. General of this Department, who was
mustered out of service few days ago, has
formed a law Copartnarship, with Col. Geo.
n. Folk, late of the Confederate States
Army, and will locate at Lenoir in Caldwell
County. Col. Cilley was for time in
charge of the Freedmans Bureau in this
State, and discharged his delicate duties in
such manner as to give entire satisfaction,
we believe. to all concerned.

COLLISION ON THE N. G.. RA1LRoAD.-At
about half past four o'clock yesterday
morning, collision took place between the
Freight train, bound East, and the Gravel
train on the n. G.. Il. r., near Harrisburg
killing three men and severely wounding
three more.
Two of the killed were white men and
the other freedman one of the former
lived near Salisbury, but his name we could
not learn the other, an Irishmt.n named
Cody. We could ascertain nothing in re-
gard to the freedman. Mr. Lewis, engineer
of the Gravel train, had his leg taken off
above the knee, and is otherwise severely
hurt. The fireman was badly scalded, and
another employee, name not known, badly
injured.
We understand that Cooly's body was
robbed Of about 5000, and parties are now
on the track of the thief 1t is hoped that
the scoundrel who would rob the dead, will
be caught and promptly punished. The
Freight was somewhat behind time and the
Conductor of the Gravel train thought it
had passed and went out to work, and in
the darkness cOllided with the results above
stated. Charlotte Times.
The STATE LAND SCRIPT-The Raleigh
Lnde.c says We learn on good authority,
that the State Treasurer, with the advice
and concurrence Of the Governor, has con-
cluded to withhold from market the land
script for two hundred and seventy thou
sand acres of public lands granted by Con-
gress to this State for the purpose of found
ing an Agricultural College. The reason
for this course is the present low price of
script, sixty cents per acre being the high
est market value, forty cents in gold, and
the difficulty of making sure and protita-
BILE investment of the funds, in the present
disturbed and vascillating state of almost all
sorts of securities.

OUTRAGE BY A NEGRO.-We learn that a
most atrocious outrage was committed in
his city, last evening, by a negro man,
whose name we have not yet been able to
earn. It seems that this fellow went to the
of Mr.. Hughes, a worthy citizen
esiding in the Western Ward, for the put- !
pose of getting the family clothing, for the
weeks washing, which his wife was hired
20 do. On being told to go to the back
loor to get it, the insolent scoundrel took
lmbrage at the affront, and not only abused
Mr.. Hughes wife violently, but actually
struck her several blows, and then ran Off
Nh. H. was absent at the time. If the ras-
al should be caught, he should be summa-
lily and severely punished.-Semtinel.
