Gen. Candy sent to the Standard as then
tional official paper, his Order for the cleo.
ton in this State, apportioning delegates, &c.
It seems that the General has since made
correction in the Order, but we have receiv.
cd no notice of the fact, and therefore do not
feel that we are authorized to change the Of.
.fcia1 notice. Gov. Worth was telegraphed
to on the 22d October, that Allegheny, Ashe,
Surry, Watauga and Yadkin are entitled to
four delegates-Anson to two delegates
Guilford to two delegates, and Tyrrel and
Washington to one delegate. We presume
this statement made to Gov. Worth is au.
Ithsntic, and we publish it accordingly.
! Gov. Worth sent this telegram to the two
Rebel papers in this City,. but would not
send it to this Office. Gov. Worth has about
as much real respectfor Gen. Candy and 9th

TICKETS !!

Be sure to have your tickets. ready
for the election!
The law provides that the words
/" For a Comue,,tio,a," shall be on the
ballot. tits better to have it on the
back, for then it can not be torn off,
The Rebels will put For a Conven-
ton" and Against Convention" on
the face of their tickets, SO as to catch
all they can for their cause; and then,
if the voter does not want to vote on
Convention, he can tear that part off
the ticket. This is one of their tricks.
BE sure to haze yoatr tickets ready
It is useless to go into battle without
ammunition. The word now is, close
up, forward march, to glorious victo-
ry. In the name Of Liberty, Loyalty
and Union we shall triumph. -

SONG OF 81. STEAM.

lThe following fine poem, by Geo. W.
Cutter of Covington, KY. Blackwood mas
pronounced the best lyric of the century:"I
Harness me down with your iron bands, 81
Be sure of your curb and rein,
For l scorn the strength of your puny
hands,
As tempest scorns chain;
How l laughed rs l lay concealed from
sight
For many countless hour,
At the childish boasts of human might,
And the pride of human power.
When saw an army upon the land,
A navy upon the seas,
Creeping along snail-like band,
Or waiting a hayward breeze,
When l saw the sturdy peasant reel
With the toll he family bore,
AS he turned him round at the tardy wheel,
Or toiled at the weary oar.
When I measured the painting courser's
speed, '-
The fight of the carrier dove,
As they bore law king decreed,
Or the lines of impatient love;
could not think how the world would feel,
As these were outstripped affair.". :.
When should be bound to the rushing
keel,
Or chained to the flying car!
Hal hal ha They found me at last;
And tbey invited me forth at length,
And Irushed to my throne with thunder
blast,
And laughed in my iron strength
Oh then We saw wondrous change
On the earth and ocean wide,
Where now my fiery armies range,
Nor wait for wind or tide.
Hurrah! hurrahl the waters Ger
The mountain steep decline;
Time-space have yielded to my power
The giant streams of the queenly West,
And the Orient floods divine.
The ocean pales where'er l sweep,
To hear my strength rejoice,
And monsters of the briny deep
Cover trembling at my voice.
I carry tile wealth and ore of earth,
The thought of the godlike mind,
The wind lags after my going forth,
The lightning is left behind.
.tst1i
In the darksome depths of the fathomless
mine
My tiresome arm doth play,
Where the rocks never saw the suns de-
cline,
Or the dawn of the glorious day;
bring earth's giittering jewels up
From the hidden caves below,
And make the fountains granite cup
With crystal gush o'erfiow.

In all the shops of trade;
l hammer the ore and turn the wheel
Where my arms of strength are made,
manage the furnace, the mill, the mint
i carry, spin, 1 weave;
And all my doings put in print
On every Saturday eve.
. have no muscles to weary, no breasts to
decay,
No bones to be laid on the shelf,n
And soon intend you may go and

While manage the world myself.

For scorn the strength of your puny

RAPID VEGETABLE GRowTH.-A plaEtt
belonging to the mushroom or fungus fami-
ly, of nearly globular shape popularity
known as the large puff-ball, is remarkable
for the extraordinary rapidity Gifts growth.
In an instance lately observed, it attained a
circumference of about forty inches in four
teen days, beginning as mere speck. When
dried in oven it lost ninety per cent. of its
weight, (the watery portion,) and its solid
parts consisted of minute cells, estimated at
over fourteen billions in number, and in
creasing at the rate of $4,000 q second. b
Puf-balls, are familiar to many from the
fact that when trodden on they give forth a
cloud of what looks like very light dust,
but which is really the seeds of the plant,
each one capable of producing its species
These seeds, in the case referred to, were es-
timated at fourteen hundred millions in num-
Der, developed at the rate of 100000 per
second When burned, this dust has mar
gotic influence similar to that of clorotom,
and is often used to simply bees. and even
for surgical operations

PEACHES AND PLuMs.-To REMOVE THE
SKIN FROM PEAcHEs-AN EXCELLENT AND
EXPEDITIONS METHoD.-Make lye as
strong as possible of wood ashes and soft
water. Fill kettle with the lye, and, when
boiling rapidly, drop in twelve or eighteen
peaches, and take out again almost immedi-
ately. and immerse them IN a pail of cold
water. Take one in your hand and you will
perceive that the rind will slip off entirely,
leaving round, beautiful yellow ball, throw
it Immediately into another pail of pure wa
ter, and so proceed till all are done. This
process will not injure the flavor of the finest
peach, and once tried, the old fashioned
method of peeling with a knife will not be
again adopted. If the I've is not strong
enough, put into the kettle two dipperfuls
of clean wood ashes. This AN excellent
way to rid small onions of their jackets pre-
paratcry to picking them. Try it.

Discovery OF Rock CRYSTAL IN AnKAN-
sAs.-The Commissioner of the General
Land Office has received from the register
of the local land Office at Little Rock, Ar
kansas, a beautiful specimen of Rock Crystal
sufficiently transparent for lenses. It was
found in Washington comfy, in township 2,
south of range % west, in which locality it
is said to exist in large quantities. It is re-
ported that the crystal is found in following
the range of the mountains running south Of
the base line to the Choctaw nation, and in
section 30, township 2, south range 81 west.
Rock crystal has heretofore been imported
from Brazil and Scotland, it not having been
discovered IN this country. The specimen
received by Commissioner Wilson is said to
be equal to any imported.

How PETER AND PAUL LooKED.-1t is
allowable to mention the general notion of
the forms and features of the two Apostles
which has been handed down in tradition
as represented by early artists:
Paul is set before US as having strongly
marked and prominent features OF the jew.
yet not without some of the finer lines indi-
cative of Greek thought. His stature is di-
minutive, and his body disfigured by some
lameness or distortion, which may have
evoked the contemptuous expression If his
enemies. His beard was long and thin. His
head was bald. The characteristics of his
face were transparent complexion, which
visibly betrayed quick changes of his feel
ings; bright grey eye, under thickly over
hung eyebrows, a cheerful and winning ex-
preston of countenance, which invited the
approach and inspired the confidence of
strangers. 1t would be natural to infer from
his continual journeys and manual labor,
that he was possessed of great strength of
constitution. But men of delicate health
have often gone through the greatest exer-
tions; and his own words on more than one
occasion show that he suffered much from
the lack of bodily health. Peter is repre-
sented as a man of larger and stronger form,
and his character was harsher and more
abrupt. The quick impulses of his soul re-
vealed themselves in the flashes of dark
eye The complexion of his face was full
and sallow, and the short hair, which is de-
scribed as entirely grey at the time of his
death, curled black and thick around his
temples and chin when tine Apostles stood
together at Antioch, twenty years before the
martytlOm. ;

A New RELIeIoy.-A London paper
says singular course of lectures has lust
been brought to cIose-nothing less than
the formal Inauguration of a new religion
The new religion isthat of Positivism, found
ed a few years ago by Auguste Comte and
the lecturer was Mr.. Richard Congreve, long
known as tervent follower of Comte and
believer in his religion, although he has only
now taken steps to found Church, with a.
building and regular services.
Among the most constant attenders have
been Mr.. G.. Fl. Lewes and his wife, the au-
thoress of "Adam Betle," while such names
as Lord Amberley, Lord Houghton, and 9TH
ers, can be mentioned as those of occasional
hearers. Mr.. Congreve has announced that a
church will shortly be built, and regular SER
vices instituted for promoting the new creed
which is to regenerate Humanity.
THE TRINITY. He goes about to speak
of the mystery of the Trinity, and does it by
words and names of mans invention, talk
ing of essences and existences, hyposta-
ses and personalities, priority and co-equali-
ties, and unity in pluralities, may amuse
himself and build q tabernacle in his head,
and talk something he knows not whet, but
the renewed man that feels the power of the
Father and to whom the Son has became
wisdom. sanctifcation, and redemption, in
whose heart the love of the spirit Of God is
shed abroad. this man, though he under
stands nothing of what is unintelfig ible, yet
he alone understands truly the Christian Goc-
trine Of the Trinity.-Dr. Taylor

Crowned Heads in Paris.

1t is expected that the great farls eA-
hibition will be honored by the presence
of several crowned heads. The hlng Oh
Prussia, the Emperor and Empress OF Rus
sia, the Emperor and Empress OF AUSTRIA
and the Sultan of Turkey, are all expect
ed. There may be others. LOUIS NAro-
LEON. the once crazy and unsuccessful re-
yolutionist of Strasbourg and Bouioshe-
the poor prisoner at Ham ana inc pol,,-
man of Jondon-is about to assemble
around him q number of crowned heaoS
rarely in history met at monarch's court
The event will be quite remarkable.
The two kings so lately at war will be
,resent and possibly will renew their as
surances of "high consideration" The
courtesies between men who are inwardly
wondering how to get the weather gauge OF
one another will be as excessive as they
are insincere. NAPOLEON, like SAUL among
the prophets, will regard them with pa.
tronizing selfcOmplacency that will be
greatly enhanced by the recOllectiOns OF
his early history and the contempt in which
he was once held by the crowned heads OF
Europe. SO great change in the affairs
of man is the rarest thing in history.
The most remarkable person in this
group of monarchs gathered about NAPO-
LEON will be the Sultan. The "Turk,"
once the type of all bad passions, cruel
ties, and brutalitieS, is turned human, and
being tanned, becomes show. He is no
longer a bugaboo to still the occupant of
the cradle, and the commonplaces OF
Savage as Turk" etc., cease 10 have
meaning. The Sultan leaves his harem,
makes his salaam to the French Emperor
and his guests, and will appear as very
much subdued man, hooked and chained
by European diplomacy, evidently like a
sick man hiding the time TO come.
What intrigues may be Matched in this
meeting OF rulers time must unfold. What
poor devils these crowned persons are, that
they cannot bob-nob with one another
without each one asking himself " how
can get the better of that fellowpo TAM
OSHANTER was, indeed, happy man COM
pared with them.

into effect which changes sections 3 and
Of chapter l2l, and section s, chapter l63
of the Code of 1860, in regard to acknow,
l,dpments of deeds. The new law merely
changes chapter l2l so as to provide that a

act in signing decd conveying real es-
tate. OF course she may still acknow-
ledge the deed before the clerk of coun.

Section s, chapter I63, is altered and
made to read as follows:

Judge thereof in vacation, appoint de-
putty, who, during his continuance in office,
