CHIEF JUSTICE Cause.-The visit of the
Chief Jnstice to this city seems to have
made favorable impression upon those
who formed his Acquaintance. 1t Is under
stood that the doctrines advanced by At
torney General Stanbery are those held by
the ChRA1elstice, and it is expected that
he will SfHe them an emphatic endorse
to do it officially. The Chief Justice and

CALL ACCEPTED. n. M. Marshall,
recent rector of the Episcopal Church in
Elizabeth City, has accepted the call of the
Episcopal Church in Warrenton.
ORDERLY.-We have heard that it has
been conceded that Goldsboro' has been
designated by the military authorities as
the most rebellious place in the State
We are glad to be able to say, without the
fear of successful contradiction, thai no
town of its size has, since the close of the
war, been so uniformly orderly. This
only proves that men who were true to the
Confederacy, are the most reliable sup
porters of the old Government to be found
In the South. They do not annoy and
worry the military communicating are
not the men who sneak off to secluded cor
ners and recount past grievances, or reveal
they arc too busy, too high-minded, to en-
gage in any such business. Time will
show who are the men to be trusted.

left untnTued by them in pushing forward
