U. 8. DISTRICT CoURT.-The regular session
of this Court, for the District of Cape Fear, was
opened, in Wilmington, on Tuesday. The Will
mington Star says that Judge Brooks charge was
Il political harangue. The most melancholy evil
dence of the decentralization OF the times, under
Radical teachings, is the numerous similar con-
versions of the bench into hustings We had
hoped that North Carolina would be spared the
spectacle. -,Sealtiatel.
There is no truth in the above. Judge
Brooks delivers charges containing sound
law, and he does this in the interest of, and
on the side of the United States. Simply
because he is loyal, and for no other reason,
he is charged with making political har-
rangues." - "
But what is the Sentiners pet Judge Fowle,
doing? Has he not descended from the
bench, and gone bodily into the hastings
And not only this, but he breaches disunion,
in that he advises the people not to recon-
struct the government. 1--WE had hoped
that North Carolina would be spared the
spectacle"

WANTED TO GET BETTER AceUA1N-

Mass, sent note to her husband, re-
Gently, written in disguised hand,
signed with fictitious name, stating
that she had often seen and admired
him, and if he would inform her of a
place of meeting she would go over to
the rooms and they would become bet
ter acquainted. Husband answered
the note at once, appointing time and
place of meeting. Both parties met at
the appointed time and place, the lady
heavily vailed, and proceeded to the
rooms, where the vail was removed, and
a grand tableau, not down in the bills,
ensued. Assurance made on the part
of the husband that it was nothing but
a joke, and that he knew it was her all
the time. Wife is having stylish
bonnet, new cloak, and elegant silk
dress made.

New York is described by young lady
in Fraser's Magazine, who says in her journ-
al that the city puzzled her by the briiliancy
of its atmosphere, its monster hotels, and its
dainty, Enthusiastically dressed little ladies,
looking thoroughly French, and as un-En-
gllsh as possible to conceive of-all in short
dresses" On this head she adds: Their
faces are charming. l never could come 20
America and return unmarried if l were a
man. Such sweet, delicate, refined little
faces, and with such lovely dark eyes,
Broadway disappointed her. 1t is not at
all a fine street, and the shops are really
mcan-nothing but mean--but it is an odd,
odd place. The people all look SO indepen-
dent; even the beggars just carelessly re-
quest money, and then go away instantly"

leans she never saw

MEMORIES.
Gas every prospect opens on my view,

seem to live departed years anew"
Memories are rich and instructive, whether
they be joyous or sad They heighten.
deepen, exercise and cultivate the affections,
exciting or calming, shrouding or gliding
the imaginative mind, melting or identifying
the noblest heart.
The heart has memories that never die
the rough usage of the world cannot oblit-
crate them. Often they flock to the mind as
doves to their..windows, often they captivate
the son, and charm the listless moments in
their flight. Feeble age, trembling on the
brink of the grave, has them when all else
has fed or been forgotten. They are memo
ries of home, of early home, of boyhood,
youth and manhood. They are memories of
the old time" of the old place, where first
he was borne in loving arms, and dotted on
by eyes that shall never more glisten. They
are memories of old friends of old love, and
the pride of his first conquest But he is
falling and falling.
The traveller climbing the mountains of
land not his own, will, amid all his tolls and
all his changes, revert ever and anon to the
time when youth or a school boy he roam
ed the hills and fields of his own native
home. And gazing down npon fields, streams
and towns, his ardent soul pants to realize
the fond hopes which have long inspired his
heart.
Poor Goldsmith excla:ms, after the expe-
rience of that abuse which the world heap
ed upon him, and the share of griefs which
God had given him.
81 still had hopes, my latest hours to crown,
Amid those humble bowers to lay me down,
To husband out life's taper at the close,
To keep the fame from wasting by repose"
We often experience momentary pang of
fruit less joys, marred intimacies, broken
vows, tickle lavors, foolish fancies, unrequit-
ed love, and treacterous faith, yet the sun
shine OF memories, pure, chaste, and good
hallow and mellow with an aroma of sim
certify and truth the choice moments of a
line we've learned to spend we'll
Neither change nor time, neither age nor
years, neither distance nor disease, neither
quiet nor passion, can ever efface or blot
from the heart those memories of the spring
time of life; thoughts such as will reproduce
on the verge of eternity the freshness of
emotion of life and desire with which exist
ence on earth began. a.

Every landholder who can not take the
Iron. clad" test oath runs a great risk in
voting tor so-called Conservative candidates,
and in voting against Convention. Why 2
For the plain reason that If we do not re-
construct under the present acts, Congress
will reduce the State to a Territory-the
State will cease to exist-all titles to lands
will die with the State, and no one will be
able to renew title except on due proof of
loyalty. That's the reason. Think of it be-
fore you vote. Vote down Convention, if
you will-get yourselves into still deeper

WASHINGTON, Nov. Cen Ewing, who
commands this department, has forbidden
parades. but endorses on the order that mar
tial law no longer exists in the district, and
he don't see by what authority he he can
disarm and disband private military COM
panies. This endorsement passed back
through Grant to the Present without COM
nent.
Reliable advices from Lancaster state that
Stevens is worse, but that he will come to
Washington on Saturday in special train.
The Pa Central R. r. has purchased the
Pan Handle r. r. from Fittsburg to Steu-
benville. Price 81, 100000.
Hon. Jas. A. Seldom, of Virginia, has been

that Gen. Grant is in harmony with the Re
publican party as set forth in the Philadel-
phia Press and Washington Chronicle OF this

Ticknor & Fields have rather queer
ideas about literary compensation. A
gentleman of our acquaintance recently
wrote an article for the atlantic for
which the firm agreed to pay a fixed
sum. Soon after the paper was forwar-
ded, the writer received note from one
member of the house to the effect that
the stipulated sum could not he paid,
but that they were willing to settle the
matter if he would take a check just
one fourth larger than he had anticipa-
ted !! 1t is currently believed that, con-
trary to New York ideas, this way of
dealing is not wholly to the disadvan-
tage of the 44tlaaatic publishers.

his family. Mr.. B. is stopping at the Var

We are gratifed to state that Mr.. Baker
has consented to address our citizens this
evening, at half past seven o'clock, at Tuck

lie man, in profound sympathy with the
great body of the people, and devoted to
the Union of the States. Mr.. Baker is a
member of the Republican party, having
been with that party from the very first
voted for, and warmly sustains the recon-
struction acts in their entirety. We trust he
may have large audience. .- ..t.f.

The London Neaos says of Admiral Farra-

"Perhaps the event which has most pos
sessed the popular Imagination was the
bold dash past the impregnable batteries
which commanded the entrance to the har-
Dor of Mobile. The admiral, tied amongst
the rigging of his own vessel, so that not
even wound would cause him to loose his
hold. and that the whole scene should be be-
meath his eye, leading the way through the
storm of cannon shot, and running the gaun-
let of probable destruction with dashing
courage and brilliant success, is picture
which is as indelibly impressed on the minds
of Englishmen as on those of Americans

to dispute the possession, by the Aemeri-
can navy, of the highest qualities of seaman

Aon Taesday evening at his residence id
asCharlesA street, surrounded by his family,
and was in the enjoyment of his usual health.
The door-bell rang, and member of the
Suffolk bar was ushered into the room, when
the family retired. The Governor asked the
gentlemen to be seated, and remarking that
: the room was very close,opened the window.
The gentlemen stated his business briefly
wishing to retain him in case, and observ-
ing that he was apparently fatigued, and
not disposed to give attention to the matter,
was about retiring, remarking to the Gov
ernor that he would call upon him at his
Office, as he saw he was fatigued. The Gov
ernor replied that he felt ill, and expressed
fear OF paralysis, requesting that DIR. Derby
might be called in. The doctor was imme-
diately summoned, and when he entered. the
Governor made gesture significant of his
condition. Mrs Andrews entered the room,
and the Gov who had been supported to the
couch, pressed her hand. AS he was speech
less but not unconscious, he was asked if he
wished pencil and paper, and signifying
assent, they were brought. His right hand
refused its office. and he attempted to use
his left hand, but finding it fruitless, be
placed the pencil between his teeth, sensible
even of his condition, but the pencil drop
ped from his lips, and he passed into that
sleep from which he never awoke to reali-
zing sense of the scenes of this world.-Bos-
