Republican Meetings,

We publish to-day the proceedings Of
large and enthusiastic meetings held at OK.
ford and Lexington, to which we invite the
attention of our readers. The fires of Re.
publican liberty are burning on every hin.
top and in every valley in this good old State
Our loyal people are determined to restore
the State to the Union under the present
acts of Congress.
We have the proceedings of other meetings
on hand, which we will publish as soon as
we can make room for Them There was q
great meeting on the 7th, at Beaufort. Car
teret County, which was addressed. amono
others, by Hon. David Heaton. The U. L,
A. is spreading along the seashore as well as
throughout the interior and beyond "tbe
Ridge" We would respectfully urge the
loyalists of the State to foster and spread all
the loyal organizations. Their good effects
may be seen in the result Of the elections in
Tennessee, and in the rapid growth of the
Republican party in all the States south Of
this.
We would also urge the Importance of
full representation in the approaching State
Convention. Let the delegates be here by
hundreds. Let them come up animated by
one spirit, determined to unite upon and
pass such measures as will ensure the recon-
struetion of the State.

THE MORAL INFLUENCE OF DIFFERENT
KINDS OF FOOD,

At a seance of the French Academy of
Science held on the I'd of April, was read a
curious paper upon the moral influence of
different kinds of food. The writer relates
in detail a double sett of experiments that
he performed upon himself with the two
capital articles-coffee and wine. He pre-
pared himself for each series by fast of 40
hours, during which time he ate nothing but
few globules of gum, in order that the
stomach be entirely empty at the moment of
commencing. Then, he ate nothing but cof-
fee and bread, or wine and bread, for several
days, and carefully noted his mental sensa-
tions. quote his words -
If swallowed certain quantity of strong
coffee slowly 1 felt a singular change take
place in my nature. 1 seemed almost instan-
taneously transformed into another man all
feeling extinguished itself in my breast, and
at the same moment my intellect developed
an unaccustomed activity; it seemed as if
all my faculties had transformed themselves
into intelligence I ceased to be communi-
cative and kindly; became cold, cross and
selfish, in word my whole character assumed
exactly the reverse of what it had hitherto
been. My intellect labored without the
slightest fatigue, and almost in spite of my
self; upon any given subject it penetrated
profoundly and drew almost infinite conse-
quences.
If 1 wrote. my style was correct but bold.
If I remained long time in this condition
nv intellect ceasedits activity of production,
but, like my body, it remained constantly
agitated. I could not sleep, or, at least,
could never completely lose my conscious
ness. In word, I was entirely reduced to
motion and intelligence. 1t is worthy of note
that my pulse was both slow and feeble
throughout the experiment. If now drank
some wine everything changed, calm return
ed, followed by generous sentiments. I felt
myself become kindly and sympathetic. I
ceased, by magic, to be cross and egotistical.
If the experiment was made from the begin
ming with wine and bread, instead of coffee
and bread, thesephenomena were exaggerated
and the mind was dulled to such a point as to
be embarrassed by the slightest effort; the
character became extraordinarily sensitive
l dreaded to offend any one by the slightest
thing; whereas, under the influence of the
coffee, the feelings or opinions of the world
were completely Indifferent to me. In the
meantime this vinous sensibility is not nee
essarily benevolent If the person happens
to fall under the influence of malevolent
feeling, that is equally intensified. Finally,
l became heavy, sleepy, inclined for repose /;
the intellect ceased to act; sensibility alone
remained"
The author of the memoir observes, in
conclusion, that coffee and wine may be ia
ken as the types of two great classes OF food
of which one acts on the intellect and nerves
of motion, the other ON the sensibility and
nerves of sensation that majority of ar
ticles used as food occupy middle place
between two extremes.

For the COIOred PeOnIe.

We publish on our first page to-day, and
shall keep standing in our paper, Dialogue
between Republican and freedman.
Let this Dialogue be circulated among,
and read to, the colored people. 1t contains
facts which they all ought to know Where
ever, at any time, a number of colored people
are gathered together, let some one read this
Dialogue to them
The Democrats spoken of in the Dialogue
are represented in this State by such as the
Sentinel, Gov Worth, Gov. Graham, and
those who agree with them.

Let the Republicans of the State
bear in mind that State Convention
will be held in Raleigh, on Wednes-
day, September 4th.
We trust meetings will be held in

Surratt's TriaI.-scene in Court Room

Surratt's Trial.-Scene in Court Room
On Saturday, the 10th inst, at one o'clock
the prisoner was brought into Court. The
jury could not agree and were discharged.
Four only favored conviction. Judge Fisher
then stated that during the trial, he had
been threatened with personal violence by
Jos. II. Bradley, counsel for Surratt, and or
dered his name to be stricken from the roll
ofAttorneys practising in that Court. Brad
ley denounced the statement as false. Quite
an excitement was oecasioned by the affair,
and there are rumors of duel between the
parties
