The Mails.

The Wadesboro' Argus, in making COM
plant of the general want of mail facilities
in that section, on account of the cessation
of operations on the various routes after
the 3Oth ult., when all the contracts expir
ed, makes the following observations in re-
gard to the action of the President of the
Wilmington, Charlotte and Rutherford
Railroad:
con the route from Wilmington (the Whining
ton, Charlotte and Rutherford Rairoad) to Ruth
erfordton via this place and Charlotte, operations
have also stopped in consequence OF the President
of the Railroad Company refusing to contract with
the Government to transport the mails. The
route was regularly advertised, and were led
to believe until a few days since, that the Oompa-
n.y. through its President, had agreed to do mall
service to this point, at least, from Wilmington ;
but some difficulty arising between the President
and the Government relative to pay for service
last year. the President refuses to enter into any
contract until his claims settled. Whether he
is right or not We do not know; but if he has
fused to contract reported, he shows but little
regard for the interest of the Company, of the cit
liens living along the route, and for the trade OF
his native Town. He may consider the suggestion
gratuitous, that he might have contracted, CON
timed service, shown some enterprise III seeing
that the sub-contractors the portions of the
route where the steam engine does not operate,
did their whole duty, and left the settlement OF
his claims to a future time. Nevertheless we
make it.
People who are deprived of mail facilities
are excusable, if not justifable, in getting
into rage, and when they do so, are apt
to say things upon the slightest evidence,
merely as safety-Yalye, as q means OF let
ting off steam. 1t is in this way our CO.
temporary has been betrayed into making
the statement and rendering the suggestion
above. We also suffer very much for the
want of mail facilities IN the Pee Dee Sec
ton, and can sympathize with our friends,
but we advise the Argus to take things more
philosophically, and investigate matters
before he throws blame upon our Rail-
roads.
So far as the Wilmington, Charlotte and
Rutherford Railroad is concerned in tbs
matter, we learn the following facts from
an authentic source, which will show how
blameless they are for the failure to provide

Confederate Contracts.

We publish to-day a most interesting and
important decision of our Supreme Court
upon the legality of contracts for the sale
of property during the war and payable in
Confederate currency. 1t is in keeping
with the plain principles of law, but some
persons, more in the hope of illegal gain
than from any instincts of justice, seem to
suppose that the disposition to ''punish
rebels" would be carried to such an extent
as to declare null and void any and all
contracts based upon Confederate money
as the consideration. Those who have
fallen into this error, innocently or other.
wise, the opinion of Chief Justice Pearson
will correct.

Political Prospects.

Is it not difficult for individuals who de-
sire to find excuses for timid abandonment
of political principles to do SO. In the
high tide of success it is nothing to see
men stand firm and emblazon upon their
foreheads the principles which they follow,
but when the time of trial comes, and dis
aster is the only reward of those who re-
main firm and true, for many speclous
reasons we see the weak and faint-hearted
turn their backs upon old friends and re-
nounce time-honored principles. Timid-
i y, policy, hope of reward, constitute the

Trinity College commencement.

8Eessrs. EditoJs:-GENTLE1IEN In your notice
of the Commencement Exercises OF Trinity Col,
lege, you state that they closed with dance"
am authorized by the President, Rev. DR.. b.
Craven to say to your readers, many OF whom are
Methodists that there GcGs no dance or any Other
lD1proprietu on that OCCASION" You will please
publish this note and correct report, which, IN
corrected might damage the Institution.
Respectfully, &C.,
Wilmington, N. c., July 4th, 1867.
We give room to the above card with
much pleasure. There is nothing more IN
pleasant in the onerous duties of an edito-
rial life than, in endeavoring to do justice
and bring into public notice the merits OF
deserving institutions, corporations and IN
dividuals, to be led inadvertently into en-
rors which tend to defeat the very object
sought, unless it is to have such mistakes,
innocently made, converted by designing
persons, into intentional SANDERS.
We are under obligations to Mr.. BURK-
HEAD for calling our attention to the above
error, into which we had fallen in regard to
the notice of the Commencement Exercises
of TRINITY COLLEGE,, which appeared in our
columns some days since. While upon a
more careful reading of the article Of the
Raleigh Sentinel, from which paper we COM
piled the notice, We may not have been
warranted in saying that there was Dance
we give in full the remarks which led us
into the statement. We inferred it from
the following:
"The Salisbury band was i'll attendance, and we
learn that the Commencement party was largely
attended by the bellies and beduE, who Of course
enjoyed themselves prodigiousy."
Our object being to advance and not to
damage the College. we regret exceedingly
the mistake, and beg the pardon OF DR..
CRAVEN and the friends and patrons of
TRINITY. We unhesitatingly claim that the
institutions of learning of our State, OF all
grades, and under charge of all denomina-
lions, have no truer friends than ourselves.
We have endeavored, by special correspon-
dents, or by copying from the columns of
other papers, to keep our readers advised as
to the success of all. None rejoice more at
their prosperity, and none regret more
their downfall Upon the success and dis
cipline of these institutions, more than
anything else, depends the future welfare
of the State.

consideration, we presume, of our not being
ranked in the opposition. amiably retrained
from denouncing the Times as bought al
though the Times was measurably open to a
shade Of suspicion, perhaps, in being found
at all where Mr.. Park led the way. A
more supremacy silly exhibition of puerile
excitement during debate is seldom seen than
that furnished by Mr.. Park, who denounced
AZ a venal press every journal in Vermont
that favored the Burden Railroad. Our
neighbor of the Free Press would rightly
feel abused had Mr. " il ard, in arguing the

the press. We are in the minority in this
issue and are likely to be again unless We
should be confronted by something more

and the bill went over. Mr.. Elmunds Of

DYS PEPS Ia.

The many forms of Dyspepsia make it diff
fcult to mark out one course of treatment TO
sui, all cases. In fact this cannot be done in
this disease, no more than any other, but each
particular case should have a special course
Of treatment to secure success
Scarcely any person, male or female lives
to any considerable age without suffering
with the Dyspepsia in some one of its forms.
We ourselves have been the subject of thin
comp liant, and experimental upon our own
case until We feel that we have learned much
thatw could not have obtained without. We
have had No much experience in this way, to-
gether with the experience IN the treatment
of others, that We feel fully justified in war
ranting cure in every durable case of Dys-
pepsia, from whatever cause.
The principal secret in the cure OF this
disease lies in correcting the gastric jjuic<
and ,oning up the digestive organ. And
when this is done by appropriate and agree
able remedies, many of the terrible concomi-
tant sympt ms OF Headache, Neuralgia
Heartburn, &c. Will at once be removed
