FALL OF A GREAT MAN.-Coming down
Chestnut ST.. st. Louis, one day last week, writes
a correspondence was struck BY the appearance
of an old man, past sixty, who wore threadbare
coat, shiny with constant wear, and whose hat
was bruised aud seedy. His head was bent TO-
ward the earth, and his walk was a tottering
shuttle, the effect of whiskey and old age He
reeed from one side of the pavement to the
other, and at last brought up against lamp post
on the corner, when young booking loafer sa-
uted him with ''Haloa, Jim! Come and take a
drink" The old mans eyes frightened, and
arm in arm, he sauntered along to the nearest
GROCERY with his companion. Five years ago
that old man was James Green, United States
Senator from Missouri, aud in the days of the
Kansas and Lecompton matters he was, next to
Stephen \. Douglas, the ablest debater in Com
gress. But the war broke out-Mr Green was
sent to the Confederate Congress, soon lost his
property and his position, and now he is a poor
drunkard. - alt. Gazette.

- The Raleigh Sentinel and Index. in reply
to our article last week about using the State
Capitol for public Concerts, Lectures, Sc, say
that there is no other suitable building in Raj
eigh, and that the officers of the Capitol have
felt obliged, owing to the condition of the city,
TO admit lectures, concerts, &C., for strictly be-
nevolent purposes and that the parties who use
the Halls bear the expense of lighting, cleaning
up, &c. We are aware that it has been no I'M
usual thing for the Capitol to be thus used; and
the present State officers more to blame
than their predecessors; but precedent does not
always make right. The Sentinel says that a
public Hall is in process of construction. and in
Inmates that when it is completed there will be
no necessity for using the Capitol for concert
purposes. We are gratfied, therefore, to be-
lieve that the bad habit is to be discontinued.

"Rev. DR.. Charles Taylor, q member of the
South Carolina Conference, and formerly mis-
sionary to China, who has during this year been
resident OF this town pastor of the Sumter
Circuit, has accepted the Presidency of Col.

Rev. Fl. A G. Walker, of the same Confer
ence, and now stationed at Summerton. is also
about to transfer his connection to the Kentucky
Conference. Rev. j. w. Wightman, brother
Of the Bishop, expects to make a similar move.

TIE CORN TRADE.-The Norfolk Day Book.
in view of the reported scarcity of corn in central
and western North Carolina, says:
I'VE have already pointed out TO our merchants
fbe wide field open to their enterprise In Western
and Central North Carolina. by the destruction
If the corn crop. We say destruction, because
the whitening effects of the long protracted
drought have been severe to render that
term a fit description of the actual condition of
affairs But, dismissng any further inquiry into
the causes of failure, the fact that the crop is
short is indisputable, and is as plain as it is mel
anc!rny. In this direction then, our merchants
will find it greatly to their advantage to make
engagements to supply this heavy deficit. Our
attention has been again drawn to this subject by
the remarks of our friend. the Charlotte Democrat,
which expresses the trust that the merchants of
that place will make arrangements to supply
that market with corn from Baltimore or Norfolk
We hold to the belief that in our present struggle
to regain our former prosperity we should not
wait for the Charlotte dealer to call upon US,
but should lay before him the advantages in econ
,ny and speedy delivery of his purchases to be
found by opening negotiations with Norfolk
Let merchants remember that when the dream
of the lean kline was told, the who could
point its meaning and the means of providing
against the short crops of the Egyptians, made
his fortune.'
The Newbcrn Times also remarks:
The Norfolk merchants already being
directed to this field of enterprise and are being
urged by the Day Book not to wait for Charlotte
to send greetings to Norfolk for corn, but to send
the corn along at once and have it cribbed, ready
Cor the buyer whenever he makes the demand
This is, decidedly. business like. and our mer
chants and railroad managers should at once take
a hint, seeing that we have an Egypt in North
Carolina (Hyde county, and can supply all de-
mands for without allowing our people to go
to Virginia for bread"
So we think people may make up their
minds that there will be plenty of corn in this
section for sale. And if friends in Norfolk
and Ncwbern will send little money along to
loan to people to buy corn with it will be fac
and make things comfortable and easy. At any
rate, the corn will be here.

~ We publish some lengthy extracts from the
late speech of Hon. Thadeus Stevens, delivered
at Bedford, Pennsylvania. Mr. Stevens is the
leader of the radical Congress, and we think it
right to let our readers the programme he
marks out for dealing with the Southern States.
He appears to be violent enemy of the South,
and his declarations and threats have caused con-
siderable apprehension in the minds of Southern
people, but whether he will be able to execute his
revolutionary plans remains to be seen. We do
not think he will succeed, unless Providence has
Gecreed that Republican Government is failure
and that this country shall be ruled by tyrants
and usurpers. In the meantime, let all keep
cool and remember that sufficient unto the day

'If the land owners of North Carolina refuse to
dispose of their lands, they will act, think, to
their personal injury, we'll to the detri-
rnent of the State at large. The sole of a tract
of one two thousand acres in alternate sections
of fifty one hundred would greatly en-
nance the value of the sections retained. Indeed,
to refuse to do would be suicidal in the pre-
sent crippled condition of the State. We are
confident that such policy will retard the growth
of that or any other Southern State; and trust
that this subject will enlist the examination of her
enlightened citizens. and result in the advocacy
