We are glad to see in town our worthy
friend, John L. Pennington, Esq, formerly
Editor of the Progress, and Col. Jno. 81. Manly,
of Houston, Texas. Mr.. Pennington is en-
gagged in farming in Alabama, and is much
happier man, no doubt, than when he was
engaged in politics. Col. Manly is known to
our citizens as clever and courteous gentle
man. He is in the practice of the law at

well

We copy from the Index Of this City, the
following description Of the magnificent
building now in course Of erection on Fay
etteville Street, BY those enterprising and
public-spirited citizens, Messrs w. II. q R
s. Tucker -
TUcKERf HALL.-This new building.
which is being erected on Fayetteville street
by Messrs. W. Fl. & R. 8. Tucker, (who
made their money by a number of years of
liberal trading with our people, and are now
literally investing it in permanent manner
among us by adding to the convenience and
beauty of the city, is gradually going up,
and will soon tower among the other bust
ness houses in its neighborhood. We took
apeep, yesterday, at the plan and speciflca-
tions of the Hall, which enables us to give
slight outline of what it will be, when COM
pleted.
The ground plat is forty-three feet four
inches front, on Fayetteville street, running
back one hundred and twenty feet, with q
SIX feet area in front, making the entire
depth one hundred and twenty-six feet.
The basement runs back sixty feet, and is
to be nine feet pitch
The first story runs back the entire length
of the building, and is to be fifteen feet
| pitch. This is to be the store-room, and
will be by far the largest in the city.
| The second story is designed for public
exhibitions, concerts, &C., and will be very
comfortably arranged for the purpose. This,
story is to be tWenty-six feet pitch, with
| gallery on the end and both sides, ten feet
| pitch and ten feet wide. At one end of this
floor will be the stage, twenty-five feet deep,
flanked by dressing-room, property-room,
&C., and at the other, a saloon, parlor, dress
ing room, and ticket-ofiice, which will take
! up twenty-seven feet of the length of the
room, which will leave for seats a space of
| forty-three by seventy-one feet-space suffi-
Gent, including the galleries, to seat fifteen
hundred people.
The front will be of iron, supported by
brick columns from the basement, with gran
lite cap and bondstones. The roof will be
fireproof, and will have two sky-ights, by
ries below by means of f1oor-lights.
The whole edifce is to be finished of, in
side and outside in elegant style, and when
completed will be an ornament to the city,
and one of the finest edifices in the State.
The plans and specifications for this hall
were drawn by Mr.. B. W. Warner, Archi-
tect, 13o, Broadway, New York, and the
contract for the work was taken by Mr.. Thos.
II. Coates, who built the Baptist Church of
this city, and the east and west additions to
the main building at the University of North
Carolina. There are about thirty hands
now employed on the work. under the i'm
mediate superintendent of Mr. John j. Ma
guire, to whose courtesy we are indebted for
the facts we have here given.

The Watchman, published by DR.. Deems,
in New York, catches NTH joy at the thought
that Congress has been denounced by the
President, as it expresses it, as Gan unlawful
and illegal bodyn The Watchman thereupon
asserts that the acts of this assumed Con-
gress," since the commencement of the war,
are of no more value than "blank parch-
ment - and that the South is placed in the
precise position it held before the warl !"-
In other words that slavery is still in exis-
tence, Senator Clingman entitled to his seat
in Congress, the war debt of the United
States of no obligation whatever upon the
people, jeff Davis unlawfully restrained Of
his liberty, pardons for treason totally unne-
cessary- to sum it up, that nothing at all
has been accomplished by the government
and the loyal States, afterfour years of bloody
war, even though apparently triumphant =
This position Of the Watchman is revolution
airy in the extreme. Such articles are plain
ly calculated to refght the flames of civil
wal, a nd We believe are so intended.
For the Watcbman further proceeds to say /:
"Slowly but surely does the President
move; and now that he has declared the re-
cent Congress to be nothing more than an
assumed Congress, hanging on the verge of
the government" and has openly allied him
self with the great Union party which re-
Gently met at Philadelphia. his future acts
can not fail to be of the most decisive and
exhilirating character"
What future acts2 The overturning of
the present Congress, and the establishment
of another composed of copperheads and
rebelsg Does the Watchman anticipate such
action on the part of the Presidents That
would indeed be highly exhilirating" to
rebels and traitors, but their joy would be
short-hved. The loyal millions Of the North
would scatter, in an hour, such an illegal
and unlawful body" to the four winds Of
Heaven. They could also break necks.

Union Meetings.

We learn from the Western Sentinel, that
on Saturday last, meeting of the Union
citizens of Forsythe was held at the Court
House in Winston, for the purpose of nomi-
mating candidates for the Legislature. The
Sentinel denounces the meeting as being un-
der the influence of certain Brownlow rad
icals," but the following extract from that
paper shows why it resorts to such slang. 1t
says:
"There was no platform laid down-not
one word said about supporting Gov. Worth
or the policy of President johnson. On the
contrary, it is well known that one of the
nominees is opposed to both-and it is in
ferable to suppose that both of them are"
The nominees referred to are Capt Peter
A. Wilson and E. B. league. That they are
opposed to the reelection of Gov. Worth is
no doubt true, but that they are opposed to
President Johnsonsp policy is no doubt equally
false Perhaps one or both of them may be
willing to accept the Howard amendment,
in the event of the failure of the Presidents
policy, and in SO doing will show both their
wisdom and patriotism. 1t is strong ticket,
composed of true men. Among the dele
gates present at the meeting we observe the
following: Messrs D. II. Starbuck, T. j.
Wilson, W. F. Shultz, Jesse Swain, NJ v.
Perry, Ed. Blum, Saml. Stoltz and Others.

Political from the Northern States.

-
The Legislature of New Jersey, convened
in extra session in Trenton, has adopted the
Constitutional Amendment, by a vote of
eleven to ten in the Senate and of thirty
four to twenty-four in the House Gov.
Ward has signed it. The announcement of
the vote was received with great applause.
This Legislature is expected to choose a
United States Senator.
The elections in Maine have resulted in an
overwhelming triumph of the Union party.
Gen. Chamberlain was elected by $4,000
majority, every radical" Congressman
chosen, and nine-tenths of the lower House
of the Legislature is of the same stripe. The
usual Union majority in that State has been
$4,000, but this year it exceeds the anticipa-
ton of the most ardent Unionists.
The Committee appointed by the loyal
Convention at Philadelphia to address the
people of the Northern States were in New
York City at latest dates Preparations.
were made to give them an enthusiastic re-
ception. The principal speakers are Cows
Hamilton and Brewnlow.
The next elections in the Northern States
will be in October The following States
vote in that month, Indiana, Iowa, Ohio and
Pennsylvania. The latter State chooses
Governor, all of them members to Congress.
The canvass is progressing with much spirit,
especially in Pennsylvania.
Jno. T. Hoffman, mayor of New York City,
has been nominated by the Democrats for
Governor of that State, in opposition to Gov.
Fenton the present incumbent.
Vermont was carried by the Union party
in the recent election, with gain of about
5000.

Some of our more prudent Union friends
need not fear that the Convention to assem-
BILE in Raleigh on the Goth, will oppose the
Presidents reconstruction policy. That pol
icy legitimately carried out, will place, as it
was intended to place, the control of the
State in the hands of the" Enthusiastically 10y
al" That it has been distorted and twisted
from its original purpose, we are all aware.
And it is evidence sufficient to prove this
fact that rebel officials have been restored to
former places of profit and trust. And so
great clog has this proved to the Presi-
dents policy, that it will not work. Our OBJ
ject is to remove this impedi ment
Gov. Worth is no exponent of that policy.
In fact his election was one of the most dam
aging blows it ever received. Mr.. Stephens
of Pennsylvania never could have dealt it u
more disastrous blow. We have the Presi-
dents own opinion upon this subject. And
it is equally we'll known that Gov Worth
has never been able to WELD any influence at
Washington, owing to the manner and the
means by which he was raised to his
present position. President johnson will be
glad to see him removed trom3the gubernato
rial chair, for instead of being help to him
in his arduous labors, he is dead weight.

Daniel R. Goodloe, Esq.

This gentlemar--one of the delegates
from this State in the loyal Philadelphia
Convention though in favor Of negro suf-
frage, did not deem it proper to insist upon
it in the Convention. We make the follow
ing extract from the proceedings:
"Mr. Daniel R. Goodloe, of North-C
lima. said: agree in all that is statedin the
address in regard to the wrongs and outra-
ges that have been inflicted on Union men
in the South, but + dissent from the conclu-
ding paragraph, in which Congress is called
upon to enfranchise the colorcd people.
am in favor of impartial suffrage, and have
RECENTLY published a letter to that effect in
the RALEIGH Standard but under present
circumstances, while the present admlnlstra-
ton is in power, believe that the extension
of suffrage to the colored people, by act OF
Congress, would make their condition, and
the condition of the loyal whites, worse
rather than better"
We hear great deal about "the radi-
calls" being in favor of negro suffrage. con-
6scation, and death to the Southern people:
but here was a radical" Convention, So
called, which did not even recommend ne
gro suffrage, and the twenty-five Northern
Governors who we're in attendance earnestly
advised against negro suffrage.
Mr.. Goodloe is in favor of the proposed
constitutional amendment, and is not dis
posed to obstruct the efforts being made to
restore the Union by thrusting forward the
question of negro suffrage. In this he acts
the part of patriot; and the Sentinel, in
stead of quibbling at his course and cen
surfing him, ought to thank him for it.
