Mr.. EDIToR:-To the friends of the
contemplated Rail Road it will be graf.
flying TO know that, in few minutes
after Books of subscription were open
ed in Williamson, the sum of 7venty-
f0e Thousand Dollars was taken, with
reasonable prospect Of doubling the
amount in short time. Considering
the present depressed state Of our none
tary affairs this certainly, is a good BE-
gining, and promises ultimate success.
Let the people of Martin be impressed,
as no doubt they will be, with the i'm
portance of the work in enhancing tie
value of real estate and infusing spirit
Of enterprise into every branch Of in
dustry, of incalculablo value and we
may look for largely increased subscrip-
tons. It is the evident interest of the
people on the line of the Rail Road, in
Edgecombe, Pitt, and Martin to giee,
if need be, one half Of the value of
their lands to make the enterprise a
success. We would therefore urge upon

Female Soeiely.-We endorse every word
of John Randolph about ladies society,"
Read what he says. young man, and act
according;
You know my opinion about female So
ciety. Without it we should degenerate
into brutes. This observation applies with
ten-fold force to young men and those who
are in the prime of manhood. For after
certain time in life, the literary may make
a shift "a poor one grant,) to do without
the societies Of ladies. TO young man
nothing is so important as spirit of de-
voton (next to his Creator) to some amia-
BILE woman, whose image may occupy his
heart and guard it against pollution, which
bescts it on all sides A man ought to
choose wife as Mrs. Primross did her
wedding gown, for qualities that 'wear
we'll" One thing, at least, is true-that
if matrimony has its cares, celibacy has no
pleasures. A Netown, or more eminent
scholar; may find enjoyment in mere study,
a man of literary taste can receive in books
powerful auxiliary, but a man must
have a bosom friend, and children around
him, to cherish and support the dreariness
of age.

Home and Nother.-Home. where father
and mother, brothers and sisters, have q
unity of interest, sympathy and affection,
becomes in mature life the most sacred pic
ture
THAT hangs on memory's wall" "
In after years, when the Destroying Angel
has crossed the h household, and silenced its
familiar voices in their death; when the
hand of changing time has torn down the
woodbines that climbed above it's portals
and windows, and when it's paths echo
only to the tread Of strangers feet, how
often does remembrance lead us back to its
sacred precincts, and make us realize that
the home Of childhood is the brightest spot,
the fairest oasis on the desert of life. It
is during these moments Of retrospection
that the religious instructions of youth
flow back upon the soul. 1t is then that
we kneel again by the side of her
sWhose breast with gentle pillows
Rocked to rest our infant woes"
and list over the prayers she taught US -
Poetry has encircled the name of ssmother"
with halos Of beauty, but its language will
never be adequate to measure her influence.
To her the first years of our lives belong,
and it is then in her power to plant seeds
of virtue that will bud and blossom in the
soul when age has plowed its deep furrows
in our pale cheeks, or covered our locks
with its SHOWS. The prayers of n pious
mother are priceless legacy. They are
like the dews Of heaven, which first ascend
from the earth to the skies, and then des-
cend again to the bless and revive the un-
folding plant Infdelity may array itself
against the Bible, and its clamors may be
loud among the assemblies of men, but it
has not the courage to enter the sanctuary
of a religious home, and there listen to the
earnest prayers Of q holy mother as she
points her children to the throne Of God.

Mr.. EDIroR:-On THURSDAY of last
week On com pany with quite number
of the ladies and gentlemen, we babe a
short adieu to our time honored "burg,"
and set our faces in the direction of our
sister village Rocky Mount, there to par.
take of the pleasures and gayeties Of
the long anticipated Pic Mic; and most
fully were We repaid for all the trouble
we took on that account.
Too much praise cannot be awarded
the ladies and gentlemen, in whose
hands rested the management of the af-
fair. 1t was complete success in every
way, and we tender Our warmest thanks
to them for our share Of the pleasure
and enjoyment Of the day.
The Dancing Room, the finest and
most delightful in which it has been our
fortune to "Trip the light fantastic toe"
in many days, was the upper story of
the new Mill just erected by VIM. S.
Battle, Esq and presented during the
whole day a scence of beauty and intel
ligence we rarely see equalled and never
exceled.
"Old Frank" was there In all his
glory, and the simple announcement of
his presence is sufficient to prove the
fact that there was good music on the
occasion. Long may the old fellow live,
to make glad the hearts of all the Dis
ciples of Terpsichore.
While writing, | cannot fail to pay
just tribute to the unrcmitting zeal and
energy of our fellow townsman, Mr..
VIM. s. Battle. In addition to fine
Grist and Saw Mill, which is now near
ly completed, he has commenced the
rebuilding of his Factory, burnt by the
Yankees in the memorable raid of 1868
Thus affording lucrative employment
to large number of laborers.
The ceremony Of laying the Corner.
Stone of the New Factory, was per-
formed in the presence of large num-
Der of spectators, aud suitable address
ses made by Col. Hyman, Capt Phil
lips, G G. Bonner, and others.
Late in the afternoon, the company
began slowly to disperse. Some to
seek their homes and rest, after the
fatigues of the day. While others, not
yet fully satisfied with their exertions,
repaired to the Hotel of Mrs Gray at
the Depot, where Dancing &c: was
kept up in the "wee sma hours of the
night.
Allow me, Mr.. Editor, to take this
opportunity, to tender my heart felt
thanks to those of my friends, who af-
ter every one else had deserted me for
the night, compassionotely remained
with me, and contributed so much to
my (Dis) comfort assure them, their
kindness on that occasion shall never be
forgotten, and shall be amply repaid at
some future time.
Friday evening saw us all back home,
we'll pleased in every way with our trip.
At the same time hoping that it will
not be the last time we shall have for
visiting Rocky Mount. B.

IL. H. Snaath, Esq:
My Dear Sir: [ am instructed by
Mr.. Stephens to acknowledge the re-
ceipt of yo1r letter, dated Cincinnati,
18th instant, inquiring as to the origin
Of the term Fenian.
Mr.. Stephens desires me to express
his astonishment that you should fail to
be satisfied on that subject by inteili-
gent Irishmen of Cincinnati. He is
aware that many erroneous statements
have gone to the public in relation to
the origin of the term Fenian, and ap-
proves your laudable desire to be in
formed thereon.
Every student of Irish history will
recollect that chieftian existed in Ire
land, just anterior to the Christian era,
named FIon Nc CWoI This parsonage
was the commandant of the Feonin Erin
or Irish militia at period when Ire
land was nation, and her people pro-
tected themselves against the encroach-
ments of all invaders.
AS the present organization is insti-
tuted for the same purpose, after the
foreign robber shall have been expel-
led, the name of Fenian was adopted
for the branch of the brotherhood in
the United States.
Trusting, sir, this explanation may
be salts factory, | subscribe myself,

How inexpressibly touching! How

melancholy JOY is now being afforded to
the parents and friends of those living
here when they ascertain that the wo.
men Of Tarbcro' are engaged in the pious
work, Of commenorating their loved
ones.
Shall we not all feel better after the
performance of the duties of this day?
A secret joy will Eli our hearts. We
are being scourged; inscrutable to US,
but painfully distressing. But it is
nevertheless true. "The Lord God Om-
nipotent reigneth." Oh! cannot we
trust Him for the future, who has been
so kind to US in the past. The old will
soon pass from the stage. Thei. anx-
iety for these their dear young friends,
can only be imagined-they cannot be
described. Much, every way, depends
upon the conduct Of the young
they take the place of the old. Let it
be the axiom of their lives, the motive of
their every action, to maintain the
Southern character for honor, honesty
and noble bearing; and whether we
sink or swim, survive or perish, secure
the proud satisfaction to know, that, if
all else is lost, we have preserved our
manhood, and, that amidst gloom and
defeat we cherish the memory of our
dear countrymen who have been immo-
lated in a just and righteous cause.
Let US be submissive to constitution
al rule. Give no just Cause of reproaeh
to those who seek our ruin. Accept
the notifying position of defeat with
calmness and dignity. Do all the good
we can in our allotted spheres, and par
ticularly to the families of those among
us bereaved and impoverished by the
calamities of the War.
Let us elevate the standard of South
ern morals,so rudely shaken in the recent
conflict. Constrain our late foes to ad-
mire our bearing, and to do justice to
our section.
We should despise ourselves if We
could counsel an apparent cordial fra
termination, with those who have forci-
bly, robbed us, and now threaten our
utter degradation but we will venture
to say to our dear Southern friends,
that, as we are now powerless to re-
dress our wrongs, we lose no self respect.
we incur no reproach ia meeting every
approach to familiarity, and every in
vective and injury with silent, reserv-
ed dignity becoming true Southron
May we all prove ourselves worthy
descendants Of illustrivus ances-
tors, in this our hour Of trial; and we
have trust and confidence that God will
bring order out Of this great confusion.
