10 the London quotations for Five-twenties
being given at 6S l. AT first il was supposed to
indicate decline resulting from the Ledger
canard; and this supposition was encouraged
by some singulally erroneous comments in the
morning papers. Ultimately, the very obvious
explanation, viz: that. the bonds were quoted
ex.coupon. after the settling day at the middle
of the month, gained acceptance; aud it was
discovered that Five-twenties instead of being
lower. were really one half per cent. higher:

ted us from bestowing the attention upon
his actions that they doubtless deserved,
and, indeed, we only assume that they ex-
list because he is North Carolinian, an ex-
member of the Confederate Congress and a
General. Of other facts concerning him
we know nothing, and we feel sure our

some friend will write biography of him,

do it WELL SO that the people may have,
in an authentic shape, the facts of his life.

gentlemanly and indefatigable Superinten-

were much pleased with the compliment
paid deserving officer, and the good will,
this respect shown to another company, ex-
hibits. A fellowship of interest and feel
ing must beget harmony of action that will
be mutually beneficial. The superior ad-
vantage of the Seaboard route must always
make it popular with travellers. Energy
and enterprise will yet make our lines of
roalroads remunerative property. With
the river bridged, and the connection
through Petersburg effected, we expect yet
to see passengers carried from Aqua Creek
and Portsmouth to Mobile and New Orleans
at great speed and with much comfort.

Gen G. w. LOHan.

We learn that G.. W. Logan, of Ruther-
ford, a general and an ex-member of the
late Confederate Congress, is a candidate
for the office of Governor against Jonathan
Worth.
We have, as our readers know, declared
our purpose to advocate Gov. Worth's re-
election. Having enlisted in his cause, it
would be unnatural did we not watch with
interest the signs of the times, and feel Ella
ted or depressed as the indications pointed
to the success or defeat of our favorite, and
this, too, although we have heretofore diff
cred from him IN toto cCelo on many points,
and upon which we never expect to be re-
conciled. Feeling thus, we confess the an
nouncement of the candidacy of the Hon.
Gen. Logan causes us some uneasiness. As
General, he can doubtless show record
bright with instances Of successful strategy
and personal daring displayed against the
ruthless invader of the sacred soil of his
native land. His successful leadership, ar
duous services, and "hair-breadth 'scapes
from his many perils will doubtless COM
mand the vote of every comrade who shared
his hardships and his dangers in the glori'
GUS militia. As member o. the chief coun-
Gil of the nation, his records will doubles
show that in the intervals OF rest from ac-
tive duty as militia man, procured by his
military skill, he devoted himself to the
task of restoring order to the confused leg
islation of his beloved country.
We are, however, not able to lay before
our readers the details of the meHtorious
and gallant services ofthe Hon. General, az

There is nothing 1T present so occupying
the attention of our agriculturalist in some
portions of Eastern North Carolina, as the
cultivation of tue grape and the manufac-
ture of wine. The success achieved by per-
sons who have heretofore made expert
ments, have shown beyond doubt that the
cultivation of the grape oan be folloYed
with remunerative results in this seotio1-~
in fact, in much of the poor, sandy lands
along the coast, we believe that the cul-
ture of vines is the only way in which they
can be made profitable, under the new sys-
tenn OF labor.
We begin to-day the publication of Sc
ries OF some seven % elght atiiciea NptH}n
this subject from gentleman who has
much experience in the matter, and we feel
confident that their perusal will enable
those who contemplate turning their atten-
ton to the cultivation of the grape, to in
augurate their labors with more system
and intelligence, and remind others own
ing what is now thought to be sandbar-
rens, OF their capabilities in this respect
The articles will be published with but lit
tie intermission. In directing the atten-
ton of our exchanges of Eastern North
Carolina to them, we are sure that no SUBJ
iect can be of more interest to large por-
ton of their readers. Wine-making must
eventually employ the attention and labor
of considerable portion of the population,
and we hope the day is not far distant when
it will fo-m on important article of our COM
merce.

oILIN ROCKIsLAND COUNTY.

We have just learned, from Mr.. Henry
Ziegler, that oil has been struck in the town
ship of Drury, in this county, about two
miles below Illinois City, on the bottom, con-
tiguous to the coal diggings. 1t is on land
belonging to August Zwsnzig. The we'll is
under the old Ballard saw mill, which is
owned by Mr.. Zwanzig; and is run by steam.
Mr. 2. and few other men formed a COM
pany and determined to sink we'll and ''see
what they could find" He went to Penn
sylvania aud posted himself in the intricscies
and mysteries of oil digging came home
and commenced boring. His drill is now
down $50 feet, and oil has been fouad-cer-
tain, sure, no mistake. Whether it will
prove to be paying well, or not, is yet to be
determined. The company consists of =.
Zwanzig, M. Sohussler, NJ. Sehaab, B. Strick-
ford, all farmers and residents of the locality,
and Capt. /. Huber, of this city, making five
in all. They will continue boring until they
find oil in paying quantities or the bottom
drops out.

ILLINOIS CENTRAL RAILROAD.

The house of representatives at Washing

During the discussion, Mr.. W Washburne of IL.

Frauds on the Reconnaissance of Distil.
lerfes.

For some time past a suspicion has existed
that extensive frauds on the revenue were
being committed by the number of distiller-
les situated in the upper part of New York,
and detective officers attached to the internal
revenue service have bsen investigating the
case and collecting adyice. They were not
long engaged in the search till they found
ample evidence that immense quantities
of whisky were made at the numerous pri-
vate houses in the city, the owners of which
had taken out licenses in order the more
readily to manufacture the article without
paying the duty imposed by the internal rev.
enue law.
In consequence of these revelations the
Hon. d. c. Whitman, deputy commissioner
of the internal revenue, with some officers
from Washington, arrived in New York on
Friday, when it was decided to seize about
thirty distillerles, the prOprietors of which
were accused of being engaged in frauds.
The seizures were made Friday afternoon
Each distillery was entered by the officers sim
ultsneously. In each of these places indications
were found that great quantities of spirits were
produced which did not pay duty to the Z. S.
government. In one instance, where dstlery
gave evidence of having turned out sixty barrels
of whisky a month, the returns of the establish
ment recoi ded but barrel and half for that
time. In another case it was found that die
tilery was located in a soap boiling establish
ment. The detectives discovered trap door
leading to an apartment below, where large
still WAS in operation, which capable of man
ufacturng sixty gallons at time.
In corner of the room 4 large pot filed
with composition which had been used as
rollers on a printing press, was boiling the
fire. The officers inquired what in the pot.
The owner of the esIa bshment told them il was
glue and moasses.
''What can you o with them ?'' asked the Of
icers.
"we make French brandy out of the mo
lasses,'' was the reply.
"How 20 asked.
"Well, we dIstill it. You the glue floats
to the top, and the treacle TO the bottom, SIX i'm
off the glue and the molssses remsins.''
"WOud II not be ches per to buy the molossesf''
asked the officer.
''It would,' replied the owner, "if We did not
have to keep returns OF the article. You know
we keep meme of the rollers.'
II is said that there about one thousand dis
tieries in the city of New York. The immense
profits realized from the manufacture of the art-
Gle when the payment ofthe excise can be avoid
ed, has tempted many these distillers to make
false returns none at all.

INDIANA.

The democracy of Indiana held their state
convention for the nomination of state officers
at Indianapolis, on Friday the 18th inst
The gathering was most enthusiastic one.
Mr. D. W. Voorhees, delivered patriotic and
eloquent address. Resolutions were adopted
heartily indorsing President Johnson, ,repudi-
ating the rebel debt, asking the admission of
the representatives from those states which
ratified the emancipation amendment, declar-
ing against all prohibitory liquor laws, and
approving the eight-hour system of labor
Gen. Mahlon D. Manson was nominated for
secretary Of state, Christian G. Badger for
auditor, James B. Ryan for treasurer, John
r. Cofroth for attorney general, and R. NJ.
Chapman for superintend of public instruc-
tion.
The platform and ticket are said to be en-
tirely acceptable to conservative citizens.
