ACTION OF THE FREE SPEECH PARTY IN
BALTIMoRE.-The following card will tell its
own tale. We extend to our gallant and con-
sentative cotemporary our cordial sympathy,
and trust that this brutal outrage may prove
a "bessing in disguise. " FHog
TO THE PUBLIC.
We have to apologize to our subscribers and
the readers Of the Evening Transcript, for the
appearance we make to-day.
Our office was made the object Of attack by
gang of rowdies, headed by men from the
City Yard, who after tearing down the Flag
Of the United States suspended from one Of
the windows Of our composing room, upset
the stands and cases, and knocked thing
generally into pi. a.
Pursuing their lawful vocation, in their
shirt sleeves, our printers had no means of
defending themselves or their work, and the
room was, in consequence for few minutes
in the possession CT the rowdes.
Of course we shall look to the city for re-
endorsement of our losses, and it will fall as
usual, Oh the innocent taxpayers, but this is
the fault Of Mayor Chapman and bis friends,
who urge on these disgraceful, cowardly pro-
ceedings. r *. f.a#

NEWTON & HUNTER, These enterpresing
young gentlemen have recently gone into bu-
sness, and their appearance was hailed by the
press Of this city with very general congratu-
lations and good wishes. .,ssga
We now add otr own which should have
been extended before, but from the fact that
we obeyed wholesome old adage which
warns us against putting call our eggs in one
basket" Bearing this in mind we preferred
to wait a few days, trusting that these various
''good egg notices may hatch out lively
patronage for our young townsmcn.
They are now in the full tide of successful
experiment and if any ladies or gentlemen
doubt the fact call at No. ST, Main street
will convince them that our information is
correct.

ing resolution was offered by Mr.. Allen:
Resolved, That a Committee of two from
the Common Council, and one from the Select
Council, be instructed to inform Capt. Austin
that his communication has been received,
and that the Councils respectfully decline
taking any action in regard to the same, diff
ferent from that which he has been informed
of, in relation to the support of INDECENT
freedmen and the burying of deceased pau
pers.
The resolution passed both Councils.

The GOLD REGION OF NORTH CAROLINA
We have completed the historical notices of
the twenty one counties, commencing with
Currituck to the extreme east and ending to-
wards the west with Jones and Onslow coun-
ties These we have regarded as the Sound
region of the State with which Norfolk is
more Immediately connected by the two
canals, the Albemarle and Chesapeake and the
Dismal Swamp Canals. In a series ofarticles
previously TO- the historical notices which we
have Just completed we gave statement Of
their population, and manufactures aud the
number Of acres of improved and unimproved
lands contained within their borders, which
we compiled from the last census.
All these articles were transferred to the
Weekly edition of the Day Book, and were no
doubt read with interest by our North Caro-
lima subscribers for whom they were more es-
peeially written, though they contained facts
OF general interest We regret that we have
no data from which to give more exact &C
count of the gold region, and until we obtain
the material necessary to the acquisition OF
this information, we shall be compelled mere
ly to indicate the locality, and hereafter refer
to the original discovery. The gold region of
North Carolina is comprised within fourteen
counties-and is included between Iredei, Ro-
wan and Davidson on the North-Union and
Arson on the South-Randolph, Montgom-
cry, and Richmond on the East-and Cataw-
ba, Lincoln and CASTOR on the West. 1t is
nearly in the centre of the State, a little to
the westward-They are Randolph, Mont
gomery, Richmond, Arson, Stanly, David
son, Rowan, Cabarrus, Union, Irede!l, Neck
lenburg, Catawba, Lincoln, and CASTOR. Ac-
cording to the map before as, and the scale of
miles, it is contained within about 10 miles
of longitude and about 80 of latitude. Ash
boro', in Randolph. is about the centre of the
State and the gold region extends thence
westward to Catawba, Lincoln and CASTOR,
including these counties. The FIRST gold dis
covered was in Cabarrus county in 1899 to
which we shall hereafter refer
D1s1NpHcrANrs.--Ws copy the following
from report just made by Drs Cabell & Tay-
lor to the Richmond Board of Health. they
say:
I'VE respectfully report that since your last
monthly meeting, we'have continued to exer-'
