| WARRENToN.-This town is distant some
three miles from the Raleigh and CASTOR
railroad, and is the centre of wealthy and
| intelligent neighborhood. It is one of the
oldest towns in the State, and before the
war, was as lvely y place as any you could
find. Your correspondent has seen turn
outs on the streets of Warrenton til 1T would
have attracted attention in Central Park
OF all this, there is very little left. The
people contributed liberally to the support
of the war; and, like other agricultural com
munities through the South, It takes near
| ly their entire surplus earnings to pay the
enormous taxation with which they are
| loaded.-Cor of Norfolk Journal.

1t is gratifying to note around us some
evidences of energy and enterprise and an
effort to develop our resources, and we
gladly call the attention of our readers to
every effort on the part of our people to
promote the great interests of agriculture
and manufactures. We have been furnish
ed by friend with the following state
ment of the operations of the Beaver Creek
Co. for the month of May, and we think it
very encouraging exhibit During the
2G working days, 60 looms turned out 45E
yards cloth to the loom, 70OOOyards sheet
ing, and ZOO lbs yarn. The ccnsump-
ton of cotton amounted to 81 bales. The
goods of this Factory are widely known
and highly esteemed, and command the
best prices wherever thrown on the market.
We have been promised a visit to Beaver
Creek Factory to so through the establish
ment and examine its operations, the re-
suits of which we will lay before our read
rs.-Fayetteville Neacs.
CONSERVATIVE MEETING AT NEWPORT
n Con- molten of d. II. L. Bell, the
meeting was organized by calling Mr. Sam
uel Newberry to the Chair, who stated the
object of the assembling of so many cit-
zens of the good old county of Carteret,
was to listen to a speech from Dr. Martin,
tie DR.. was loudly called for,
and responded in ell oquent terms.
The speaker proceeded to ventilate the
records of Messrs. Holden, Thomas, Dick
and other lesser lights Of that stripe known
as ''unmistakeable Union men," or more
designated in this State as
'tmean white men,"
Tue Doctors remarks were pointed, and
we regret, las be did, that the above named
political demagOgues were not present, as
it is but seldom that their characters, as
politicians are so ably handled, and their
records so beautifully portrayed.
We would like very much to publish the
speech in full, but our space during the
present week will be limited. We trust,
however, that Dr. NJ. will furnish us with
a copy of his speech at an early day.
The speaker was vociferously cheered by
both white and colored, and the meeting
amidst tremendous demonstra-
tions of applause. .-Ncwbern Journal Of
