CRASH OF BUILDINGS. We are informed
by George W. Milstead, who resides on the
'Cat-tair' farm of James Roper, that " hen he
went to his stabling on Friday morning last, he
iound it mass of ruios, as also the large barn
and corn house adjacent, though neither build
ing connected On removing the debris Of the
stable, he found that valuable colt was killed
outright, and Two young and superior brood
mares so seriously injured that recovery is
doubtful. This, with the other losses OF Mr..
~, is quite drawback on young beginner.
No reason can be given for this general crash,
other than the undermining of the foundations
by the incessant rains of thelas month, though,
tits certainly somewhat singular it should all
have occurred the same night. The large
barn on the s'Mount Hammond farm, also
the property of Mr., Roper, ,toppled from its
base on the same night, destroying what im

nately 20 horses) under its shelter Charles

INTERVIEW WITH JEFFERSON DAvIs.-Acorres-
pendent has been having an interview with
Jefferson Davis in Montreal, which lasted for
three hours. He gives some OF the particulars.
When asked what the people OF the south
thought demonstration, he laughed irainGder
ately, and lin measured voice." and with an
impressive wave ofthe hand said 1--WE have nothing
20 do with it," In regard to the exchange ofpris-
Oners, he declared that he had proposed to deliver
all the Federal sack, woanded and disabled with
out an exchange, and in reply to the question wby
an exchange was not effected it was owing To the
action of one man whose name was mentioned
though he did not wish it published In rgard to
the President he is reported as having said 'she
believed Mr. johnson was doing what he thought
best for the South, but it had resulted badly"
We give what took place in relation to Anderson
+ WILLIE
e informed Mr. Davis that the people of the
North held him as representing the COate1era
largely responsible for the suffering and deaths of
our prisoners at Andersonville, Libby, and other
places. He replied that nothing in connection
with the war gave him more pain than that such
statements should be retailed about. Without GO
ing into any defence is ereaso, he stated that he
believed there was Providence and A just God
Who rghted everything, and that the whole matter
would shortly be ventilated. l asked him how,
ana In rely he said that the records of Anderson
Vllle ect, had been providentially preserved, and
would shortly be made public. "You will then

Mr.. Stanton.

The New York Commercial Adcertiser
truthfully and justly says of Mr.. Stanton:
We are not likely to forget or undervalue
the service rendered by Mr. Stanton, to our
Government, in 1860. He discovered, in
Buchanan's Cabinet, a conspiracy to seize the
Archives, prevent the Inauguration OF Mr.
Lincoln, and usurp the Government. Thus
far, Jake Thompson, Cobb, Slidell, Mason,
Benjamin, &C., proceeded, with the cooper
alton of Toueey, when Ar. Stanton, with
Governor Seward, wisely eountermined to
arrest that calamity. Judge Holt was loyal.
Gen. Dix was brought into the Cabinet
The intended coup d'etat was barely prevent
ed We saw. on that occasion, while Mr..
Lincoln was being sworn, Generals Sect and
Wool standing by their guns, planted in the
vicinity of the Capitol, with less than a
thousand Regular troops for its defence
Floyd, the Secession Secretary of War, and
Toucey, the Secession Secretary of the Navy,
had the troops ald the ships Of the Govern
ment sent out on distant service. We be-
lieved then, as we firmly believe now. that
but for Edwin NJ Stanton, Traitors would
have usurped the Government on the 4th of
March, 1860"

Republican State Convention.


In accordance with the following resolution,
passed after full consultation, at meeting of the
Republican State Executive Committee, held in
Raleigh, on the 9Th of June last, a Delegate Re-
publican State Convention is hereby called, to
meet at Raleigh at II o'clock, A. NJ, on Wednes-
day, September 4th, 1867:
" ResolUed, That this Committee recommend
that Convention of the Republican party of
North Carolina assemble in Raleigh on Wednes-
day, the 4th day of September next; and that
the people be requested to elect or appoint,
through primary meetings, delegates thereto"
The object in calling the Convention, is that it
may take such additional steps as may seem ne
cessary and proper to add to the efficiency of the
Republican organization in th-Carolina, and
to secure the triumph of Republican principles
and measures.
1t is proposed that each County in the State
send as many delegates, white and colored, as it
may desire, and that when assembled in Conven-
ton the respective Counties shall be entitled to
as many votes as they arc entitled to members of
the House of Commons under the present ap-
portionment.
All who are prepared to act and cooperate
with the Republican party, are invited to attend
and participate in the proceedings of the Con-
yenton.
The great and vital questions of public policy
now at issue-the Importance of insurng an
early return of North Carolina to the Union, and
the controlling influence the Republican party is
destined to exert in the accomplishment of this
result, render it important that the Convention
should assemble with such q spirit as will insure
harmony and concert of action.
With all the associations connected with the
struggles and triumphs of the Republican party
its wise and patriotic record in peace as well
as in war-its anxiety and power to preserve and
perpetuate the Union-there is everything to in
spire our friends, and to induce them to CO.
operate resolutely and vigorously in the work of
restoring North Carolina to loyal position in
the government, thus fastening the return of
peace and prosperity to her people.

WEATHER AND CRoPs.-The extr remedy
dry and hot weather still continues in this
section. The up land corn is cut off at least
one-half, and no amount of rain can reclaim
it. In the low grounds it is better, but even
there it is suffering greatly. The aggregate
crop of corn in Buncombe County will not
be more than half an average. Fortunate
ly, wheat, rye and oats made fair Yields
AsheUilLe Farmer.
COMMERCIAL AcTIvITY.-The steamer FL
len S. Terry left her wharf yesterday after
noon at o'clock with full cargo. A large
amount of freight was on her dock Which
will have to be shipped by next steamer
We learn that the steamer g Ell Cid" having
been refitted and renovated, will soon resume
her regular trips.-Neacbe,n Republican.
Accounts from southern and central Ala
bama state that the army worm has made its
appearance on number of cotton farms, but,
so ter, has done little or no damage. If the
weather continues dry and hot, as it has been
for five or six weeks, not much damage is
looked for from them.
DIR. Henry A. Wise delivered speech yes
terday at Richmond. He advocated repudia-
tion-not of the Government bonds them
selves, but of what was an integral part of
the contract under which those bonds were
sold, viz: the amount of interest. He gave
utterance to the political maxim with which
all listeners to Northern Democratic orators
have been familiar for years-that this is the
| white mans land, and that the domination
of the negro must be preVented.-N Y. Tn
