n A curious question was discussed at
a recent meeting of the British Royal
Geographical Society. Sir Henry
Rawlinson expressed the opinion that
the Sea of Aral, body Of water hav-.
ing an AGRA of, $4,000 square miles, or
three times the size Of Massachusetts,.
had no existence in the long period
between $50 years before Christ and
600 years after, aud the rivers Oxus'
and Jaxartes now flowing into it, both
flowing into the Caspian sea- He said /:
s1The sea first comes into notice In the
seventh century, aud these two are
spoken of several hundred years as
emptying into it. Another change
seems to- have occurred between 1900
and 1900, and the rivers again flowed
into the Caspian sea; but since the
latter date they. slowly, changed their
channels until they found an outlet in
the sea of Aral." This theory was
combated by Sir Roderick Murchison.
the geologist, who affirmed that the
mere absence of Ialluslun 10 the sea of
J Aral was no proof of its non exist
ance, and cited the geological evil
dences that whatever changes the sea
had undergone must have occurred
long before the birth of history or tra.-
dition. Sir Henry Rawlinson, in re-
ply, said that evidence exists, in the
writings of the 14th and 18th centuries,
that a common highway of travel from
Europe to Asia passed directly over
the region now covered by the waters
of the Aral. His opponent admitted
that such evidence would be conclu,

the understanding that Sir Henry is
to collect and publish the proofs of his
assertion.

UNION CoUNTY.-We regret to learn that
1t Is probable that some of the farmers of
Union county will have to stop working
their crops for the want of corn for their
families and horses. The corn heretofore
sent to that county has been distributed for
bread to the destitute, while those who are
carrying on farms have looked out for their
own supplies; but the difficulty now is, they
have no money to buy with, and but few
can obtain credit. Men who, in former
years, sold from three to ten hundred bushels
OF corn, have not now a months supply of
food of any sort, and no money to purchase
what they need. Relief, to accomplish good,
must be given speedily.
We hope our exchanges in the Eastern and
western part OF this State will copy the
above. We suggest that any contributions
may be sent to ]. Mclaughlin at Charlotte,
who will see that it is conveyed to Union
county.-Char. Democrat.

OUTRAGE BY "THE REGULAToRs."-We
learn that on the night of the 18th, in the
northern part of Wake County, some person
or persons went to saw-mill being run by
MIR. Edward Haswell, and so injured the saw
and machinery as to render the mill unfit fol
use. This is believed to have been the work
of some desperate characters engaged in
stealing horses and mules from colored peo-
pie, and it was done to punish Mr. Haswell,
because he felt it his duty to tell what he
knew about these characters. Mr. Haswell,
who is an honest and worthy citizen, is said
to be in danger of his life from these men,
They no doubt belong to the band of " Reg
ulators" who have been engaged for some
time in this State in plundering and robbing
the colored people.

H. o. A-The Heroes of America" $50
called are said to have been in consultation
here yesterday. If the registers at the hotels
can be taken as any indication of their rep
resentative strength, the convocation was Il
beggarly affair in point of numbers. In
spite of all this however, we understand
they had a jollification at the old gubernatO-
rial mansion last night. One of the speak
ers who harangued those who attended is re-
ported to have declared in favor of hanging
all the rebels in this city and State. The
quiet of the night was occasionally disturbed
by loud and long huzzas, and we imagIne
that Guilty was well represented in the assem-
blage.-PVgress.
We do not see why our neighbor should
sneer at this intelligent and patriotic body
of citizens We know that during the re-
bellion many Heroes of America were perse-
cuted, gagged, bucked, hand-cuffed, andim
prisoned and tortured in divers ways on &C
count of their devotion to the Union and
we know, also, that but few months since
the Sentinel, the organ of Gov. Worth, called
on the grand juries of the State to indict the
Heroes and bring them to punishment, as
they were indicted and punished during the
rebellion. But the tables have been turned.
The Heroes are now among the masters and
rulers of this land, and their revilers and ha-
tiers are accounted as of no Importance. The
"Red Strings" do not fear now to let it be
known who and where they a:e The old
flag protects them. We look to the He
roes" and the Leagues" among US as indis-
pensable agencies in restoring the Union. 1t
is natural that those who do not love the
Union should assail the Heroes and the
" Leagues"
Our neighbor may please few oulgarians
and street loafers by his fling at "Cuffy,"
but beyo nd that he will make nothing by
his statement that" Cuffy was well represented
in the meeting" 1t so happened that there
was but one colored representative in the
Grand Council, but there are thousands of
colored Heroes in the State, and thousands
who belong to the Leagues. "Their name
is legion" and they are constantly increasing
In numbers and power. The colored people
now possess the same civil and political
rights and privileges that the whites possess.
They will vote with the Republicans. That
is settled; and it does not follow that the
grapes are sour because they are beyond the
reach of the Progress and Its secession friends
and sympathizers.

Jeff Davis.

Despairing probably of being able to en-
| JOY at the New York Hotel, or any other
place where he was publicly known to be
staying, the quietude and rest SD necessary
to tue recuperation of his health, Mr.. Davis
it is reported, privately left the New York
Hotel late on Friday night and removed to
Mr.. Charles OConor's residence, near Fort
Washington, where he has since remained
His family are still at the hotel, together with
| General Joseph Davis. The fact of his re-
moval has been kept perfectly secret and
the personal friends who have called to see
him since have either been informed that he
was too unwell to receive them or have been
referred to General Davis. From the time
of his arrival Mr. Davis has exhibited great
anxiety to make his stay in the city as I'M
oDtrusive as possible, and has several times
stated that he thought it only proper, view
ing his history during the past few years, to
avoid all semblance of publicity. Undoubt-
eddy he was greatly annoyed at the enor-
nous rush made by his former adherents as
soon as they heard of his arrival, and as the
evil has not seemed to diminish he has
sought refuge in plea of sickness and re-
moval from the hotel.
Among numerous crowd of visitors at
| the hotel yesterday the irrepressible Jack
Rogers, whose political death and wake
were recently reported, made prominent
figure With face all aglow with the joy
| full anticipation of again seeing his friend,
Mr. Davis, he presented his card to the clerk
and requested an interview. AS Mr.. Davis
| was not in the hotel it was, of course, 1mpos-
sible to comply with his wishes, and he was
referred to General Davis.
Towards the middle of the afternoon quite
a crowd gathered in Eighth street, opposite
the private entrance of the hotel, attracted
by rumor which had been circulated that
Mr. Davis was about to leave for Montreal
A number of carriages standing in the street
gave color to the report; but after an hour
or so of patient expectation the crowd re-
luctantly relinquished all hope of beholding
the fallen chief of the great rebellion and
dispersed.
In the evening the hotel was crowded in
the usual manner with large number OF
gentlemen who had been connected with the
Confederacy, either OVERLY or who had
| avowed sympathy with its principles and
objects. They employed themselves much
apparently to their own satisfaction in dis
cussing the political prospects of the coun-
try, occasionally indulging in aggressive
| description of some hard-fought field, in
| which their own individual valor, aided by
| that of other members of the C. S. A., had
achieved victories as yet unrecorded in his
tory.
Mr.. Davis, it is now stated, will leave for
Montreal on Monday should his health per-
NIT His family will probably accompany
him.-N Y. Herald.

Order by Gen. Sickles, Prohibiting the
Distillation of Whisky.
CHARLESTON, May 81,

CHARLESTON, May Il.
Gen. Sickles has issued an order prohibit
ing the distillation of spirits from grain in
the second Military District Offenders are
declared liable to trial and punishment by
Military Commission.
The reasons assigned for the order are that
the present scanty supplies of food in the
Carolinas are seriously diminished by the
large quantity of grain consumed in distil-
leries worked in defiance of the revenue law.
that this unlawful traffic makes food dearer
IN places where large numbers are depending
upon the public and private bounty that
the Government is defrauded of large
amount of revenue, the authorities brought
into contempt, and that the mischief com
planned of tends to increase poverty, disorder
and crime.
This is another excellent order by Gen.
Sickles. People will "worry down" little
whisky now and then, but bread is infinitely
more important than whisky. 1t is no time
to run stills to consume the precious grain
when so many thousands of our worthy poor
are suffering, and almost starving for bread.

REGIsTRATIoN.-We learn that, under the
Circular Order, recently issued by General
Miles, the officers of the Freedmen's Bureau
have forwarded nominations for registrars,
fr all the election precincts of Craven,
Carteret and Onslow Counties. Additional
precincts were recommended for Craven
County, the City of New Bern being divided
into four precincts, and the Trent settlement
constituting separate one. Reliable loyal
men, two white and one colored, who can
take the required oath, were found in all the
election districts. -Neaobern Republican.
We learn that thew of reporting names
of persons for Registers, by Gen. Miles and

Many of the best names have already been
forwarded. The work of enrolling the names
of voters will begin on the third Monday in
July, and must be completed by the list of
September.

RUMoRED CHANGE IN THE MUNICIPAL.
GOVERNMENT OF FAYErTEvILLE.-Seve
rumors regarding a reported change in the
municipal government of Fayetteville by Or
der of military authority, have been current
upon our streets for day or two past. We
have endeavored to investigate these rumors
but have been unable to trace them to any
reliable source. They are of such a charac-
ter that we trust the good people of Fayette-
vile have not been so oppressed. If correct
they will doubtless soon be confrned.-W1
naingtOn Journal.
We hope this rumor may prove true How
sad it is to "oppress" people by giving them
loyal rulers Fayetteville has been for some
time hotbed of disloyalty, for which the
municipal government is largely responsible.
Loyal men must govern. Fayetteville can
not reasonably ask that an exception shall be
made in her case for the benefit of rebels and
malcontents.

WHEREAS, Our once happy, fourishing

been called on to pass through the devour-
ing flames, kindled by hot-headed secession
lists of the South, greatly to the detriment of
the South, by which we have unwillingly
lost our position in the glorious Union formed
by our fathers, which has ever been near and
dear our hearts, as the rebellion has been
odious; therefore, be it
Resolred, By our Council, now in session,
that we heartily endorse every action OF our
noble and patriotic Congress, looking to-
wards restoration of our position in the
Union on the proper terms, viz: Equality
and Justice Equality to all men, justice to
rebels. Treason to be punished and matie
odious and loyal men to hold the reins of
government, which we think is the tone of
Congress.

(SlgneO j. L. SHEPHERD.
Colonel Commanding.
We are glad that Gen. Swayne realizes
the fact that we have a government. and
that loyal citizens are entitled to protection.
The murderous and cowardly attack on
Judge Kelley ought to have led, not merely
to the suspension of the police administra-
ton OF Mobile, but the City should have
been placed at once under martial law.
We must make some allowance. however
for the pernicious influence exercised bv the
ommander-in-chief, Andrew johnson. over
the best and most patriotic of those military
men who have been set over us. It will he
so even unto the end. Unless the Congress
erects itself in its full majesty and power,
and takes every thing which belongs to it
INTO Its own hands, commanding the Presi-
dent as well as subordinates, we shall have
no settlement of our troubles on a loyal ba-
SIS, and no restoration of the Union. 1t is
fortunate that that body will re-assemble in
July. Loyal men will then know finally
What they have to hope for and depend
upon. If copperhead or halfway counsels
should prevail, then "the last state of this
people," North and South, "will be worse
than the first" There is hope for the gov
ment, and no security for liberty in the South
to the Republicans of the two races, but in
the advice of such members of
Congress as Wade, Stevens, Sumner, Wilson,
Logan, Kelley, Morton, Lawrence, shella-
barger, Boutwell,, Ashley, Colfax, schenck,
and others who might be named.
