state Agricultural Society.

The members and friends of the North Caroline
State Agricultural Society are hereby notified anC
respectfully invited to attend called meeting O.
the Society, to be held at the Capitol in Raleigh
O'Clock nj.
W. R. HOLT, President
p. T. PEsCUD, Secretary.
We very gladly spread before our readers
the above notice Every measure that tends
to promote the agricultural interests of tie
State finds great sympathy with us. II
North Carolina has any future it is by en-
couraging and promoting her agricultural
and manufacturing interests, and we believe
all enterprises are advanced by association
and generous rivalry. The recent Agricul-
tural Fair in Granville was a most decided
success, far beyond the expectations of it's
friends, and has already done much to en-
courage agriculh g in that section.
By all means let the State Agricultural
Society be reOrganized, and as soon as prac-
ticable let the State Fairs be held. We
can hardly hope, for several years, to rival
the exhibitions made previous to the war, but
concert Of action and the association and
consultation of leading agriculturalists from
the various portions of the State, will do
much to arouse our people from the le.hargy
into which they have fallen.
We hope this invitation of the President
of the Society will be very generally re-
sponded to.

Wilmington g Weldon Railroad.

We have received card from a number
of passengers on the Wilmington and Wei
don Railroad, coming South on Friday last
the Goth inst, giving detailed account OF
alleged carelessness, resulting almost in q
collision and loss of life. The facts as re-
ported to us are as follows:
The passenger train was coming South
on schedule time, and upon coming round
a curve, u train going North burst suddenly
in sight. All measures to stop the train,
then running at the rate of twenty-five miles
per hour, were taken by the Engineer Con
ductor and Breakmen, in which they were
assited by the passengers. The passengers
in this card to us, complain that the En-
gineer on the train going North, which
consisted Of twelve or fifteen cars loaded
with cross ties, did not reverse his engine,
but simply drew up. When the trains were
stopped, but "a few yards remained between
them. The card exonerates those in charge
of the Passenger Train, but urges upon
the attention of the President and Direc
tors, the carelessness of those who had
charge of the other train, which came near
in terrible accident and the sac
rifce of life. We feel assured that this
complaint will insure the patient and care
full investigation of the officers of the road.
10 whom we have respectfully referred the
card.

Col. II. III. COwan.

The reelection of our fellow townsman,
Col. r. II. Cowan, to the responsible and
arduous duties of Presidency of the vii
mington, Charlotte & Rutherford Railroad,
is compliment well merited by that gen
tleman. We are personally appraised of the
untiring energy with which he has devoted
his entire time to the success and compile
ton of the great work over which he pre-
sides, and the fruits of his labors arc seen
in the improved condition of the Road,
while tho carefully considered report sub
mitted by him to the stockholders, and the
suggestions therein made for the future
prosperity of the Company evince the great
interest and thought he gives to his impor-
tant duties. We trust as 4 member OF the
Legislature, Col. Cowan may lie able to be
of benefit to this Road, by urging success
fully the proposition to be submitted to
that body, to permit the Company to issue
first mortgage bonds in ORDER to raise the
money to Equidate the debt due the State
ard complete the work.
Col. COwan was instrumental at the last
session in procuring from the State a re-
newal of certain bonds given in favor OF
the Company, and we know that he will
not fail to secure faithful consideration
of the wants of the Road in the approach
ing session from want of energy OF intel
lipent effort

Atrocities In the Country.

The frequency and character of outrages
perpetrated in certain portions of this
county require immediate and vigorous ac-
ton on the part of our people. Not long
since we recorded diabolical attempt at
murder after setting fire to the residence of
the victim. Our columns lately furnished
an account of peaceable citizen being
fred at in the same neighborhood while
riding alongthe public road, the ball passing
through his hat; and day before Yesterday
we published naccountof themost horrible
murder which has ever occurred in this
county, which, also, was in this same dis
trict. These things assuredly require the
most vigorous efforts of the people to sup
press. II occurrences of this kind are per

Another Brutal Murder in New Hanover
County.

We have received information of another
brutal murder, committed near Ellington,
in this county, on the night of Tuesday the
23d inst The information that we are in
receipt of i'll regard to this horrible trans
action is to the following effect A negro
man, named Mac Walker, was found dead
near the farm of Col. Robert Moore, on
the main road, about four miles above Lii
lington, on Wednesday morning last, shot
in the breast, back and head-three distinct
wounds. Coroner Bland held an inquest
over the body, but no positive facts were
elected.
From such evidence, however, as was
produced, it was ascertained that two or
three reports of gun were heard near the
scene of the tragedy, on Tuesday night,
about 10 o'clock. The person who heard
the reports suspected mischief, but was
prevented from investigating the cause of
it from fear of mourning some danger The
reports heard were supposed to be those of
the shots producing the wounds, resulting
in the death of the unfortunate victim of
murderous intent.
The jury rendered verdict to tue effect

plated series of entertainments, to take
place in our town, on the Sth and 9th OF
November next, to be given by the ladies
of this place, for the purpose of raising
funds to adorn and preserve the graves of
North Cardinals fallen braves. In this
article the editors have fallen into an error
concerning the application of the proceeds.
They say "that the proceeds will be de-
voted to that part of the Hollywood Gene
terry, at Richmond, intended for the North
Carolina dead"
The proceeds, as l am informed by one
of the ladies, who has the management of
these entertainments, will be devoted
to the furthering of the noble and
patriotic efforts of the ladies of Vir-
ginia, in getting up and Identifying the
'Stonewall Cemetery" to be located near
Winchester, Va, for which purpose they
have already purchased site. The pro-
ceeds of the contemplated entertainment
here, will be devoted to that part of the

/ Gerrit Smith.
Tie editor Of the Salisbury Old Mort
State has been permitted to read q lette
from the distinguished gentleman, and, TO
q number of years, leading abolitionist
whose name heads this article. Gerri
Smith has long been known to the peopl
of the South as one of the most Influential
and able opponents of slavery, and TIT
most uncompromising and open enemy o
this section. During the past summer he
wrote letter to Chief Justice Chase, more
! liberal in its views than those entertained
| by the other leaders of the Republican
party, and he has much more recently writ
| ten another letter to gentleman of this
State, who was leading secessionist, from
which the Old North State gives the follow
ing extract:
"Happy should [ be to see country brought
to just and permanent peace on the following
terms
1st-No more observation-disclosures has been
enough.
2dNNo confiscation.
3d-EO Acknowledgement of Southern offenders.
4th.-The national debt paid, and the secession
debt blotted out.
h. L
sal suffrage, but in this instance L would insist
only upon impartial suffrage impartial among all
men, white, black and red.
Gth-ln deep sorrow To- the suffering and pow
erty Of the South, let the nation exempt her for
some five or ten years from the imposition of di-
rect internal taxes. In these taxes | do not in
clude duties on foreign goods
7th.-MutuGl forgiveness, and as far as possible
fOr9etfulnCs3 OF the wrongs which each has done
the other.
While this platform is not without fea-
lures to which we are compelled to dissent,
upon which some even among us are urg-
ing our reconstruction. And, coming as it
does from lifelong, honest but fanatical
abOlitionist, we desired to let our people
know that their condition is appreciated,
and their suf1erings meet with more sympa-
thy from the honest abolitionist than those
who are urging us to barter our honor for
their own personal advancement. No, if
North Carolina is again to resume her re-
latiOns with the National Government, let
her approach her sister States with clean
hands and unstaincd garments, and not
drenched in the blood of her fallen heroes,
or reeking with the sacrifice of the honor
and rights of her living sons. Thank God,
the recent elections show that SO far as the
people of this State are concerned, they
will brave the dangers of the hypothetical
4" something worse than willingly accept
the certain bad enough" which is offered
to them. Whatever disgraceful terms the
power of the Government may force upon
North Carolina, she will in no respect be
for, but if she is permitted to
shape her own destiny, she will again enter
the sisterhood Of States an honorable equal,
or remain where she is, rich in the man
hood and integrity of her citizens though |
under the power of party tyranny and OPP
pressed by heavy and illegal taxation.
