We are pleased to see that our longtime
friend J. NJ. Walters is pushing his business
with his usual energy and enterprise. The
sidewalk in front of his establishment, on the
corner of Second and Main streets, was
heaped to its utmost capacity yesterday with
a new stock of Boots and Shoes, lust arrived
from the East, and he is now prepared to
supply his old customers, and the trade gen.
orally, on the best terms ever offered in this
market.
Mr.. Walters acquired widespread repu-
tation as successful business man during q
long residence in the Des Moines Valley,
and on his removal to our city entered into
business here with superior advantages, re-
sulting from his general acquaintance and
popularity throughout the interior. And he
will now be enabled to avail himself OF these
advantages, not only in his own behalf but
in extending and increasing the trade of our
city.

TnE RAcEs.-Another large gathering took
place at the Driving Park yesterday after.
noon, to witness the races that had been ad-
vertised for the past three or four days.
The day was warmer than the past week 8
average temperature, out hardly warm enough
to be called uncomfortable.
The crowd, we do not think, was as large
as has attended the previous trials of speed
upon this course, yet there were great many
people present, including agoodly proportion
of ladies'.
At three o'clock the chosen judges, Dr..
Brice, DR.. Carpenter, and j. M. Billings,
Esq, took their positions upon the stand and
arranged the rreliminaries for the race.
This race was gotten up by private parties,
the Racing Park Association having nothing
to do with the matter.
1t was for purse of $500. The horses
entered we're "Biliy," owned by James Paul,
and 'Iowa Chief owned by c. Seal. At
the call of time, both horses led off finely,
but got such an uneven start that they were
calsd back. The next trial for the start was
as fair as could be desired. From the first it
was evident that Iowa Chief" was the
champion, and at the end of the heat he
came out several lengths ahead. Time, 2:5o.

lime, 1858.
Next in order, according to programme,
was race between the animals of Captain
Holiday and Charley Phillips, but for some
reason the horses were not forthcoming, and
the race, as o consequence, did not occur.
A citizens purse Of thirty dollars was
raised, and pacing match contested for be-
tween "Hos,ler,' roam from Warsaw, and
"Gen. Logan" q bay from Quincy-''to
show time in 2:45."
The first heat was won by "Gen. Logan =
in pa; the second hea. won by the same
| time, 2:42.
| At the conclusion of the races it was an
nounced from the stand that Charles Mason
and Henry Clay Dean would speak at the
Atheneum in the evening. but, strange to
| relate, not cheer was given by single in
| diYidual in all that crowd at the announce
ment of the presence in our city Of two such
distinguished Copperhead Moguls. The
people had assembled to see fast stock, and
didn't therefore have any relish. for broken
down, played.o hacis like Mason and
Dean. These two have long been on the
political race course of Iowa, and their per-
formances have been SO invariably bad that
not even cheer of recognition is given for
the ''old stagers" as they are annually ''trot-
ted out.

The Republicans of Craven.


We know of no part ofthe State in which
more harmonious and enthusiastic spirit
prevails than among the Republicans of
Craven. They are wide awake and thor
oughly in earnest. This is owing in great
degree to the zeal and ability of the Re
publican, and the patriotic exertions of such
men as Heaton, Thomas, West, Carpenter,
Ellsworth, Lehman and King. A meeting
was held in Newbern on the 21st, to appoint
delegates to the September Convention, the
proceedings of which shall appear in our
next. The Republican says:
Among the resolutions, was one en-
phatically endorsing the Republican Plat
form. adopted at the Convention held at
Raleigh, on the 9th of March last, and in
structing the Delegates appointed to the
September Convention, to adhere to the
same. The Executive Republican Com
mittee of the County, was also instructed to
take efficient steps toward County organiza-
ton.
Fifty Delegates were selected to attend
the Raleigh Convention-about one half
white and the other colored. A large num-
Der of those appointed have indicated their
intention to be present; tits hoped they will
all be able to go. We can say to our friends
in other Counties, that so far as Craven is
concerned, NEST cheering result will be
shown at the coming election. Onward to
Victory is the watchword."

of public men who appreciate its impor.

revive it and place it on an enduring basis
and who can command the means to omen

be rung in vain. Ingenious youths will
crowd its chambers, and sit at the feet of
Professors worthy to have taught our great

learning, and moral department and charac-

of the essentials will be a sound national
sentiment which must pervade every depart

THE UNION LEAeUEs.-We understand
that the rebe. programme for the future is
to destroy the Union Leagues, and force
them all to disband. The Conservatives
will have good time in performing this
task. The Leagues are more numerous than
their enemies are aware of, and the members
are devoted to the organization. Take
Knox county for an example. There are
more Leagues in Knox county than there are
Civil Districts, and majority of all the le-
gal voters belong to the League. We know
our strength in every county, and we know
that we can't be defeated. Our Leagues are
patriotic institutions that we intend not only
to keep up, but to increase in numbers and
strength until, in the next Presidential cleo
ton, we make clean sweep of the whole
country. Talk about whipping out the I'm
ion Leagues in Tennessee! We have heard
of men shooting straws against the wind, but
we never have heard of the wind being
checked up by the straws LEAeUERs!
why, their names are legion in Tennessee!
And still they are increasing.-Bropnlow's
