Mail to WadeSb0rn1

1t affords us pleasure in being able to
state that the mail to Wadesboro', via
Wilmington, Charlotte and Rutherford
Railroad, will be resumed on Tuesday next.
We are informed that for the present the
mail will be carried by buggy conveyance
from Sand Hill to Wadesboro'. A stage
coach will be placed upon that portion of
the route as soon as the necessary arrange
ments can be made, which will probably
be in two or three weeks.
By reference to an advertisement else
where, the mail schedule between this city
and Wadesboro' will be seen. We were
confident that the authorities of the Will
mington, Charlotte and Rutherford Rail
road would do all in their power to favor
the people of Arson with regular and re-
liable mail line. We hope that the time is
not distant latter the present gloom and pros
tration shall have given way before a real
reconstruction and genuine reconciliation,
and the citizens of Arson and of Whining
ton will be neighbors, indeed, when the
steam horse shall ply regularly, semi-daily,
between us, bringing to our port the tenn
ing wealth of her fields and carry back in
return the comforts and necessities accu-
mulated here from every country on the
face of the globe. In those days, we opine,
but few of the good people of Arson will re-
tire without having read the Daily Journal
and we will have frequent occasion to well
come brother DART,Ey to our sanctr1m and
we won't quarrel about the mails either.

Fast Day.

The Bishops of the Episcopal Methodist
Church make the following recommends
ton for day of fasting, humiliation and
prayer, which is extracted from their Ad-
dress:
We propose that Friday, 10th of August next,
be observed IN all our churches day of fast
ing, humiliation and prayer-that God would be
pleased to pour out His Spirit upon all fiesh that
He would show US our sins and help US, by true
repentance, to turn away from them; that He
would send forth laborers into His harvest who
may serve Him more faithfully and efficiently
than we have done; that He would build I'D the
church and comfort her waste places; that He
would grant us all the blessings, temporal and
spiritual, we have need of. And we farther pro-
pose that this day of special fasting and prayer be
preceded, wherever practicable, by religious exer-
cises begun on the previous Sabbath and continu-
ed day by day till the Sabbath following.
And now, brethren, we commend you to God
and to the word Of His Grace, which is able to
build you up, and to give you an inheritance
among all them which is sanctifed.

Webster Institute.

z We have received circular of the WEB
sTER INSTITUTE, located at Kenansville,
Duplin county. This fine Institute is To-
Gated in one of the most pleasant and
healthy towns in the State, noted alike for
its intelligence and morality. The Faculty
is full and comprises the first talent in its
various branches. In addition to the usu-
al classroom Rotations, the system of
teaching by lectures and by the exhibition
of specimens of natural products and other
scientific and practical means, forms lead
ing feature of this Institute.
When so many excellent schools are
thriving in our midst there can be no ex-
cuse to send our children abroad.
Both, Male ard Female, Departments of
the WEBSTER INSTITUTE viii open on the
first of September.

Parson Sinclair.

To the Editors Of The !St7ltine! Among the
tice that Of James Sinclair. l would respectfully
ask if this is the notorious Confederate Col. Sim
clair, the "fighting Parson," o-called, now no.
torious follower of his old secession leader W. W.
Holden? No wonder these HOidenites OPP
posed to Penitentiary. But they should recollect
that the U. s. Courts take cognizance of perjury
for falsely taking the test oath OF July 2 1862 1t
would be we'll for the officer in command OF the
post Of Wilmington to note who recommended this
Sinclair if he is the Confederate Colonel it is
fair TO presume that men who recommended him
are guilty OF the crime Of subornation Of perjury,
and by the act OF Congress OF March 3, 1925, Sec
ton IS, punish able by fine not exceeding two
thousand dollars, and by imprisonment and con-
fnement to hard labor not exceeding five years.
The Pententiaries in the State Of New York are
used by the U. S. Court for the punishment Of
such criminals. X.
We are under the impression that the above
named James Sinclair rs the veritable Rec. James
Sinclair who was appointed, in 1861, by Gov Ell
lis or Gov. Clark, Chaplain Of the 5th n. G. T.
(Col. McRae.) He was with the regiment at the
first battle OF Manassas, and, acting in the capaci-
ty of Major, commanded its left wing, He after
wards put forth his exploits on that occasion
claim for election Colonel of the 35th regiment
and he acds elected. AS Colonel, he was with his
regiment at the battle Of Newborn. His whole
he was finally left out of e service on the
ganizatiOn OF the regiment nuring the whole pc
Rod, he was one Of the most bitter, uncomproni-
sing COnfederates in the state. His UniOnism
dates about the latter end OF 1863 when he and
others of his kit got scared and turned traitors to
the Southern cause. How he came to be recon-
mended for a Registrar, we cannot say, but we
doubt if he could get the recommendation Of any
respectable white or CO. Ored man in the State who
En0oCs MIN, The attention of Col. Frank. of the
Post of Wilmington, should be called to the mat
ter -Ralsigh Sentinel.
The Sentinel and its correspondent are
correct in their impressions in regard to
the individual appointed Registrar for Rob
e~on. We understand that the Parson is
hesitating about qualifying, not that he
has any computations of conscience about
taking the oath, having the fear of man
and not of God before his eyes. Not be-
ing so fortunate as the District Attorney of
the United States for this State, he has not
received n especial dispensation from
General SPEED and has an idea
that Judge BROOKS Grand Jury might visit
him with their impertinent inquiries
By the way, we understand that Parson
by representing that he had been
dismissed from the Synod of this State on
account of his /" Unionism," was admitted
Us o Minister into the Northern branch of
the Church. We have been informed, how
ever, that he has lately been suspended
from that Church also. "The way of the
trangressor is hard"

Dull Times in Nc,v EngI,,g

The Springfield Mass. Republican gives
the following rather gloomy account of
business affairs in New England
The manufacturers Of the country are
not particularly active nor cheerful just
now, and the makers OF knit goods are even
arranging things preparatory to u mutual
stopping of work for few weeks altogeth-
en- The accumulated stocks Of manufac-
tured goods do not diminish very rapidly
under the continued dullncss OF business,
and neither wooden Tor cotton manuiactur-
ers care to further increase their invest
ments in UnsaleabIe goods. At Manchcs-
ter, n. H., business is almost staguant,
though the mills are still running, the
Manchester mill and print works at that
place having on hand over $1,000 coo
worth of unsold goods. The same inocuOu
is prevailing in the boot and shoe business,
and the large boot and shoe manufacturer
at Lynn, Haverhill, and the adjacent places
are nearly idle.

Tin irl Missouri.

4 ST. Louis correspondent Of the Chica-
go Republican confirms the report of the
discovery of q valuable tin mine in Mis-
souri,. He asserts that scientific gentle
man of Illinois has for ten years past be-
loved in the existence of these deposits,
and las made several explorations From
the narrow Iodes he traced the direction,
and found larger lodes exposed in wild and
unfrequented parts of the hilly and noun
famous region of Southwestern Missouri.
Thus far fourteen different kinds of ore
have been found. No shaft has yet been
sunk in well defined lodes over twelve or
fifteen feet; and at this depth ore has been
found which, in the opinion of experienced
Cornwall miners, will yield from ten to
twenty-five per cent. The tin region ex-
tends over an area Of from twenty to twenty
five

The following persons are DISTINGUISHED
Those who have been convicted of a
felony.
Those who held any State or Federal of
flee at any time previous to the war and
then engaged in the war or gaze aid and
comfort to the South.
Persons who have not been convicted of
felony and who did not before the war hold
any Office, are not diSfranc7sised whether
or not they engaged in the war or gave
aid and comfort to the South.
If they held Office, and did not afterward
engage in the war OF aid the South, they are
not disfranchised
So, too, these who have held office since
or during the war, although they may have
engaged in thewar or given aid to the South,
are not disframchised
The only point, as we have already re-
marked, at all doubtful, is as to what officers
are included under the head of Executive
or Judicial office" of State, which Con-
gress explains as including all civil Offices
created by law for the administration of
any general law of State, or for the adj
ministration of Justice" In this hasty
summary we have included all officers as
coming within those terms out of abundant
caution. We are in hopes General SICKLEs
will yet give them 60 nomaine as has been
done in some of the other Districts. We
prefer his Interpretation of the law to that

DESTRUCTION OF Churches in this County
On Tuesday night last two Baptist
Churches at Riley's Greek, in this county.
near Ellington, were entirely destroyed by
fire. The fire is supposed to have origina-
ted about or 81 o'clock, and was evident
ly the work of an incendiary. Malicious, de-
signing men, who are SO lost to all sense of
honor and reverence tor religion, as to cause
the destruction of edifces of this character
are deserving of the gallows, and should
meet with the penalty the law prescsibes
for those convicted of arson. We trust that
these vile incendiaries may be caught,

The Caes of Lieutenant Braine.

Memphis paper contains letter writ
ten by Lieutenant John G. Braine, of the
late Confederate navy. 1t seems this Off
Ger is now in prison in the Kings county
IN. Y. penitentiary,. where he is kept by
the United States government without trial
for alleged acts of piracy which occurred
on the high seas while the war was in pro-
gress. His case, says the New York World,
seems to be hard one. Captain Sel4jles,
to whom he writes the letter, is at largo
upon parole, while he. for acts which,
though irregular, were allowed by the
usages of war, is in prison without friends
to plead his cause or money to procure him
legal advice. His capture of the Chesa-
peake during the war showed skill and dar-
ing, and his other exploits, if done on be-
half OF our own government, would have
gained him promotion and liberal applause.
Surely we can now afford to be generous
to this officer. Lieutenant Braine in his
letter says:
son the faith of the Presidents procIa-
nation of May 2, 1865, which parponed
all officers of my grade who had not been
IN the old army or navy-and had not
been-I returned to the United States, and
was residing in Savannah, Georgia, where
l had been engaged In business, when
was arrested l have been prisoner since
the 10th of September, 1866, and not one
of my Southern countrymen has called to
to see me. l cannot think that it is their
intention to desert me, though l must say
it 10 oks very much like it. l am perfectly
destitute of money and clothing, and have
no means at my command to pay counsels
fees"

The Recent Ftre ne Lt,1tngton.

In our account of the recent fire at Lii
lington, Mr. w. J. Bivins writes us that
our informant did not estimate his loss cor
rectly He states that his stock on hand at
the time his store was consumed was valued
at So, 500, of which not more than $500
worth was saved At the request, and on
the authority of Mr.. Bivins, we make this
statement
CRIMINAL CoURT.-But little business was tran
sacted at this Court yesterday. The Counsel in
the case Of William Wright Parker offered mo-
ton that the prisoner be released from jail on his
own recognizance. This motion was urged in a
speech by Hon. Hugh Waddell, one Of the Coun-
sci for the prisoner, who detailed most forcible
the sufferings which his client WAS subjected to
and experienced in jail, and stating his loEg and
weary confinement without trial. This motion
the Court considered it advisable to overrule. 1t
fnement of the prisoner is necessity which is
much regretted by the Court, the Solicitor and
Counsel, and all parties interested. The State and
the defence were both ready and anxious to enter
into trial which would have been had but for the
unfortunate intervention Of military authority.
Some ether business which is unimportant was
transacted, and the Court adjourned after a short
afternoon session.

Daily Journal, Oh.

| HIGHWAY ROBBERY ORGAN1zArIoS.--Inform
ton was lodged with the Mayor of this city yes
| terday, tending to- show that collision existed
between several parties in the City for the pur.
pose of carrying a general system of highway
robbery against peaceful and inofensive citizens,
in which one H. E. Foster, recently appointed
policeman, was implicated.
Elijah Kedar (white) being sworn testified be-
fore his Honor that, some three or four months
since, he was app cached by Foster, who endeav-
ored to prevail upon him to connect himself with
a secret organization formed for the benefit Of
the parties engaged and the plumber of such citi-
zens as they could conveniently lay hands upon
with small chance of detection. Kedar states
that he refused, and was again approached on the
subject He was then taken to house on the
Plank Road, near the Toll House, where one Cros-
by resided, and where every attempt made to
induce him to connect himself with this gang
The proposed robbery Of some rich old citizen on
the highway was openly discussed before Kedar,
who declining to risk his safety with such parties
left them and returned home. few days after
wards he mentioned this circumstance to few of
his friends, and shortly thereafter left the city for
some fishing ground on the river. While there he
received a message from Crosby, who, hearing he
had made these disclosures, attempted to intimi-
date him. Kedsr thereupon wrote Il statement of
the facts to Constable of the city, hoping by this
means the gang would come to the notice of the
law.
Until few days since nothing was done in this
matter, when policeman Holden hearing the facts
of the case brought them to the attention of the
Marshal. Foster was ar1aiened before his Honor,
and Kedar summoned witness This person
then made deposition to the above effect. The
evidence of Kedar was corroborAted by DIR. Wat
son Hall, who had heard him narrate these partic-
ulars on previous occasion.
Foster was discharged from the police, being
justly deemed unworthy to remain longer in the
employ Of the city. We understand the case Will
not rest here, and steps will be taken to bring
Foster, Crosby and the gang before the proper
tribunal and if possible, have them punished.
1t thus becomes evident to our citizens that an
unlawful and villainous gang, whose intent is plum
der, has existed, and may still exist in our city
All lovers of law and order, peace and quiet, can
not desire otherwise than to see those implicated
punished and the gang broken up. We trust that
they have at least received warming from these
disclosures, which will deter them from future op-
erati0ns.

Needed Improvement.

At the last meeting of City Council
a petition of citizens was presented,
asking that that portion of Main street
lying between Monroe and Union
streets be paved or bouldered, instead
of macadamized. This block contains
some OF the finest business houses in the
city, and is occupied by some of our
heaviest tax payers. The condition of
the street at the present time is any
thing but creditable to our city, and as
the improvement asked for is one that
every interest of the city demands, We
hope Council will give the matter
early and favorable attention.
