The Goldsboro Ne,rs, of the 10Th,
says q large crowd Of colored people
assembled in the court house, in that
place, last Saturday, expecting an
address from Hon. Mr.. Kelley, of
Pennsylvania, who did not come; but
the assemblage was addressed by Mr..
O'Hara, colored, who uttered such
sentiments rs we can approve and
applaud. He gave Conway, the cor.
respondent of the New York Tribune,
severe rapping for an. article writ

which the name of O'Hara was used.

CHERAw AND CoALF1EnDs RAIL
RoAD.-The Wilmington Dispatch,
speaking of the annual meeting of
the stockholders of this road, says:
The report of the President and
Directors for the past year is sub
mitted, from which it appears that
the entire length of the road, from
Cheraw, S. c., to the "Gulf" in Chat
ham County, is eighty-six miles; the
road has been located the entire dis
tance, and estimates made that the
entire cost to complete and equip it
will amount to $2,000,000, of which
the Treasurer's report shows upwards
of $500,000 have been subscribed,
but $65, 900 have been expended in
locating the entire line, and in grad
ing about ten miles on the Cheraw
end of the road.
The President urges the expendi-
ture of the means already in hand in
building the road rs far as Pee Dee
River, some thirty-three miles above
the starting point. "This short link, {"
he says, would be important as n
feeder to the roads South of it, and
would, in the opinion of your board,
not only silence nil opposition to it's
further progress in North Or ohna,
but would be likely to induce the op-
ponents of the road, as it now stands,
to wish it speedily pushed through
from the river to the Gulf"

Buy LAND AND. CUnrrvArE.-Tb

BUY LAND AND CULTIVATE
New York Tribune says: i...
We met farmer, in Eastcrn1 Hill
nois, last winter, who took up his
land at $1.25 per acre, thirty-three
years ago, and now is selling merely
the timber from it, to settlers on the
adjacent prairies, at 800 per acre.
This is but sample of what is doing
throughout the West There are mil
lions of acres of timber yet to be
bought for $1.25 per acre, which will
sell for 500 or over per acre, within
twenty-five years.
For eighty acres of public land, the
Government charge is but 500,
while it may be bought with agricul-
tural land warrants for $50 to $50.
Even $40 prepayment secures 160
acres of Government land.
The same can be done all through
the Gouthern country, where the land
is moro fertile and climate more ge-
nial. 1t would be far better than to
rush to the large cities, with but poor
chance Of employment.

! Lat Dhys OF Lee's Army. b.!-
IA! lecture was delivered in New
York, on Friday last, ly Thomas IT,
Rosser, late a Major General IN The
Confederate Arpy,, on the last days
Of Of the Army Army of Northern y ogrhier Virginia,
n noticing tue J. t.le lecture, the Times
says. ..-,rf III, " : " - ''
Beginning ,atf the. time when Gen.
Grant assembled his forces beforb
Petersbttfga, he gnve u SUMMARY de-
scription ofthe events Gof the cam.
paigny until the surrender of. Lee.
Speaking OF the limited resources OF
Lee: at that time, he remarked Chat
he had to legislate for him a'cIassi of
men whom9aiI unite in cordially. de-
splsing-rtha6 o]ass! who, in the Con
gress Of the United States, proclaim
ed loudly that if q gun wns fred.
they would take the field and fight to
the 'lasty but who were tho first to
throw tue burden: of the; war upon
those who, like Gen. Lee. had no
share in its inception. - ''' ~
He stated that Lee'sia army. alI told.
then numbered! only 80, 900 men. he
himself having command of, one-third
OF the cavalry, which was less than
5000 men. Having q line of over
forty miles to maintain, the men be-
came wearied out with constant
labor, and knowing the wnsted con-
,dition of the country, they were dis
heartened and detected. Gen. Grant,
protiting by the, experience of his
predecessors, did not attempttl direct
attack upon Richmond, but tried to
manGuvre Lee out of it, 6 Thefailure
of Pickett to dislodge Sheridan from
.Dinwiddie Court House, and his own
defeat and the capture Of Five. Forks
by Sheridan and Warren, on the 3Oth
of April, werc the critical events of
the campaign, compelling the eva Qua
ton of Petersburg. The general at
tack upon Lees Lines Immediately
made by Grant kept the former from
slipping away, while the latter
stretched out his left, SO that when
Lee was finally able to move, Sheri-
dan was in. advance of him.. and still
held him at bay.
The movement of Lee to Rice's
Station, by which he placed himself
on the direct line of retreat to Lynch
burg, he characterized as one of the
most mastery steps of the war. But
the destruction of Early's corps ut
this juncture decided, in the speakers
opinion, Gen. Lee to surrender,
which is proved by the fact that he
Immediately withdrew from the rail
road, abandoning his design of re-
treating on Lynchburg, which he
could have made good, and allowing
his enemy to confront him in force ut
Appomattox Court House. There he
sent in his flag of truce, with pro-
posals of surrender.

New IIamn,pi'sshire and south carolInas; q; |;

New Hampshire and South CarolIna.
The Now York Herald, of Satur-
day, says that, in reply to inquiries
made by a gentleman Of New Hamp-
shire, of Governor Orr. of South
Carolina, whether tho citizens Of the
latter State would look. with favor
upon the emigration Of citizens from
the Northern States, possessing small
means, who are sober; and industri-
Gus, and disposed to identify them
selves with the South and contribute
their means to the promotion of the
wealth and general prosperity of the
State, &C., the Governor writes that
it's matter of surprise to him that
doubt should be entertained any
where as to the desire of the people
of the State to secure the emigration
OF farmers from the North and else
where.
After explaining the peculiar ad-
vantages the South possesses for the
exercise of Northern capital, enter
prise and industry, Governor Orr
says:
If any of your fellow citizens desire
to emigrate to South Carolina, I
would suggest that q reliable man
be selected from their midst, who is
practical, and sent here for the pur-
pose of making explorations and OBJ
servations,- and if satisfied with the
country and prospects, that he be
authorized to purchase. IF such an
intelligent gentleman should be sent,
1 will take it upon myself to see,
either in person or through reliable
friends, that the fullest opportunity
shall be extended to him for making
thorough investigation of the sub
ject. The class Of men to whom you
refer is the very population I desire
and our people desire to see intro
duced into the State at the present
time. That Northern men find no
difficulty in harmonizing with our
people, I may state TO you that
about one-half of the merchants in
this CITY are men of Northern birth,
numbers of whom have como to the
Sonth since the close of the war. The
largest work shops and manufactures
established in the Northern portion
OF this State, are conducted by
Northern men, and L lay say to you,
with perfect confidence, that an
honest man who devotes himself to
his business or profession, whatever
it may be, will not only be received,
but kindly welcomed by the people Of
South Carolina. I desire to express
the earnest hope TINT you will use
your influence to secure us emigration
such as you have indicated My
word for it, they will have no oc-
casion to regret having cast their
destinies among us. I say this with
the more confidence, because I have
made personal examination of
most of the States of the Union
even including your own, granite
hills, and know of no country in
these United States where greater
inducements are held out, with COM
fort and Independence as a reward
for industry, than in the State of
South Carolina.

nm. LINCOLN,s nsTarr

The Springfield Qll.) Journal goes to the
executors records and gets q statement Of the
exact value of Mr.. Lincoln's estate. It an.
pears that Mr.. Lincoln left U. s. bonds and
unpaid warrants for his salary amounting "a
$1s,as2 40; between four and Eve thousand
dollars due him in notes; his Homestead and
real estate in Springfield, and 2eo acre. o,
land in Iowa. The sworn statemen. of the
administrator, Judge Davis, is that the estate
amounted to probably $4,000.
The Journal adds:
The above figures speak for tbemselves
To be added to them, DO wever, i, the s25. oNi
which was appropriated by the last Congress,
on account of Mr.. Linvoln's salary. mskino
altogether the total value of the per.ons1
estate TO be about Sl1O, 900. to say nothing
OF the real estate described in the above
schedule. SO that the statement made in the
norfd, that Mr. Lincoln saved nothing and
ieit hotning from his salary, and that Mrs.
Lincoln bad no resources but what remain. nj
the appropriation of Congress-S22, 600 and
the rents of the home stead, returning alto.
gether about ST. 700 per year-capnot posi-
bly, be true. That Mr. Lincoln did not leave
his family wealthy is very evident; but no one
asin view OF the above inventory, will saw tba,
they are IN deplorable condition of want
and "destitution' in regard to which the pub
hc has with SO much establishment Just been
informed.
We say this much, nor fot the purpose OF
preventing personal contributions from be.
ing made to Mr.. Lincoln if she desires them
much less to deter Congress from making q
further Appropriation for her support, which
we should be glad to have it do; but simply
IN order that the people of the nation NAV
not suppose that Mrs. Lincoln is in anything
IKE destitute circumstances. Her income
may not be sufficient to meet all her wants
ana necessities, but it is certainly large enough
=, MAINTAIN her at least as comfortably as she
lived before going to Washington.

LuRopE.-The tenor of all information from
Europe is to the effect that the recen,

u'ators and parties hostile TO the United
States, with the greatest industry, and with
considerable effect in depreciatinp our ma.

fallen very considerably, mainly through The

that Reuters telegram has manifested the u,>
most alacr'ty in disseminating reports con.

found its way into Europe and has gained
considerable credence, that the November
interest due on our bonds is to be paid by the
Secretary of the Treasury in greenbacks in
stead OF gold. To these statements and re.

FALL AND WINTER FIREs-WARSISo--Ws
commend the following very timely sugRes-
tons to al housekeepers, shopkeepers, aud to
others, where fires are used for warmth or for
machinery. Attention to them may proven.
disasters and loss:
Unused stove pipe holes should be securely
stopped up with metal shoppers. stoye-pipes
should have tight tumble around them.
Throw your cracked stoves out Of doors, or
sell them for old iron. Stoves, ifused, should
be sound and in good order, standing well off
from the floor with zinc or sheet iron under
them. Stoves should never stand nearer than
two feet to wood work, or TO walls plastered
on wooden work. Partitions pastered over
have been set on FIRE At a greater distance
than that. Stove pipes should be sound
with Joints riveted and secured to prevent
coming apart. If practicable, pipes never
should pass through wood or plastered parts
tions or floors.
Use those lamps only which are protected
by glass chimneys, and have them trimmed
and filed BY daylight only.
Matches should be kept in metallic boxes,
and never be permitted to be scattered around
loose within reach of children and mice.
Put no at hes in wooden boxes. Ashes should
be kept in a safe place out of doors, or in q
metallic or stone vessel, or taken away from
the house.
Very few OF our householders have ladders
where they can be Immediately procured in
case of FIRE.
If these hints suggest other precautions,
and awaken our citizens to give attention to
these matters, it may save lives and prevent
much destruction OF property by fire.
REFERRING to the report that Mrs. Lincoln
is insane, the Springfield Journal says:
The same explanation of her conduct, we
understand, has been suggested by those who
are acquainted with her in this place, In.
deed, an impression generslly pervades our
community that she has not been entirely in
her right mind for several years
This is certainly the most charitable inter.
probation, and the only one that is not in the
least degree Notifying to her friends.
