Weary!" k K

oh il there no home for the wounded and weary,
The heart that is broken, the eye that is teary
The mind that is sad and the soul that is dreary,
Oh is there no home in some planet on high
of the numberless stars in the beautiful sky?
Yea God hath constructed a mansion above,
Whose timbers were grown in the garden of love,
Whose walls are as bright the sheen of the
snow
As the sheen of the shield of the sun in its glow,
He hath built me home in planet on high
Of the numberless stars in the beautiful sky.
He gave to my fathers home on this Earth
But sin has discovered the ties of my birth,
And life is shadow mist of the dawning
That fades from the hills in the light of the
morning, ...r. .... ..is.l ..
But there is home in some planet on high
OF the numberless stars in the beautiful sky.
I know not the orb that will be my abode,
But know that twas formed by the finger of God,
That my mansion is empty, and must await
Till He shall command me to enter the gate
Till the Angel of Death, in mercy, shall come
To bear me to dwell in my beautiful home
In my home that is built in planet on high
Of the numberless stars in the beautiful sky.

The Country wants Peace

The country has been scourged for more
than six years by war. The people want
peace. Peace is necessary to the prosperity
of the whole people. 1t is necessary to every
man who wishes to make an honest living
and to provide for his family. 1t is neces-
sary to every parent who wishes for u state
of things in which he can begin to send his
little children to the free schools. We can
hope for no peace, for no prosperity, for no
abundant circulation of money. until we get
back to the Union. The only aooy to get back
to the Union is to VOTE FOR A CONVEN
TON. ......
Every man who votes with Gov Graham,
Gov. Bragg, and Gov. Worth and the SEN
taaet, will vote against peace, against the
Union, and will vote for keeping the military
over us and for a continued state of war
1t is just as bad now, if not worse. to be
disunionist as it was in 1861. There is
less excuse for it now than there was then.
The man who votes against Convention aoiU
cote for continued disunion Keep that fact
before the people. .....'
Gov. Graham says, by his opposition to a
Convention, that he will not take any step
to get back to the Union. 1t is we'll known
that he and Gov. Vance prevented Conven-
ton in this State in 1864. The Union men
of the State wanted at that time to call o
Convention, so as to stop the war and take
the State back to the Union. Gov Graham,
and Gov. Vance and Jefferson Davis preven-
ted them from doing so. Who has forgot
ten the sufferings of the people that follow
ed, for which those gentlemen are solely re-
sponsible Then, in 1865, Gov Graham
and his friends defeated the plan the Presi-
dent lad to restore the State to the Union.
And then, in 1866, they rejected the How
ard amendment, and thus again prevented
the State from going back. What are they
doing now9 They are pursuing the same
course. They are advising the people to vote
against Convention, when they know that
to defeat a Convention is again to declare
that the State shall not be restored .,~
What are the people going to doa Will
they follow these gentlemen any longer a
DO they not see and feel that the longer the
State is kept out of the Union the harder
the times are, and the more. stringent the
terms of reconstruction are made +
/. Let us go for':' the things that make for
peace There can be no peace with the
State outside the Union; and there is no way
by which the State can get back to the Union
save through and by Convention
Keep these facts before the people.

VOting...TlcketS.

1t will be we'll to bear in mind that und er
the supplemental act of March 2, 1867,
those voting in favor of a Convention shall
have written or printed on the ballots by
which they vote for delegates, the Words
ssFora Convention and those voting against
such a Convention shall have written or
printed ON such ballots the words. Against
a Convention" So the voter is to have but
one ticket. On one side must be the name
or names of the candidates, and on the other
side the words above given, " For Conven-
tion," and Against a Convention" 1t is
we'll to be careful 1t will not do to have
on the ticket the. word CongentiOn, or the
words No Convention, as such a vote might
not be counted. The law will no doubt be
adhered to strictly.
1t is thought the election will take place
about the Goth of November. 1t may be a
few days later.
The attention of our Republican friends
is called to these facts.
We are prepared to print tickets for can
didates with the words, For Convention"
on the back of them. They will be furnish
ed at So per thousand. They could be affor-
ded for less money, but for the fact that
printing on both sides necessitates what is
called double press-work, and the postage
must be prepaid. Send in your orders at
once with the cash, and the tickets will be
promptly forwarded postage paid. We have
a device to put on the tickets, by which
they will be known at once as Republican.

In the case of H. l.. Briscoe the following
decision has been given by Judge Wylie, Of

done, suffered, or been privy to some act

men of Virginia have voted en- 9sasse for
Radicals and in favor of Conyention. The

Such is one of the Rebel dispatches from
the Virginia election. The blacks, with a
respectable portion of the respectable white
people of Virginia, have voted ON the side
of the government of the United States, and
because majority of the white people of
Virginia have thought proper to vote against
the government of the United States, we are
gravcIy told that I" the line between whites
and blacks is distinctly drawn" If this be
so, who drew the line 9-whose fault is it |?
We suppose now, according to Gov. Bragg,
if the colored people of Virginia, with the
aid of the white Republicans of Virginia,
should make loyal Government tor that
State like that of Tennessee, and thus take
Virginia back to the Union, the colored peo-
pie will be exterminated or driven from the
country! This is the Bragg Pell-Graham-
Worth doctrine. If man will vote with
them, he is all right; but if lie thinks prop
er to differ with them, true to the bloody
code of the Davis despotlsm, they want to

Raleigh Freedman's Savings Bank.

We are gratified to state that a Savings
Bank has been organized in Raleigh, and
will soon be put in operation. The Direc-
tors of the institution are as follows:
Geo. W. Swepson, R. W. Pullianl, w. w.
Holden, John T. Deweese, and James H.
Harris.
Ex-Gov. Holden has been chosen Presi-
dent of the Bank, and Mr.. James Fl. Harris,
Vice President. Mr.. Deweese is Secretary
to the Board of Directors
At the meeting held on Thursday at which
the above organization took place, the Pres
ident and Vice President were authorized to
procure suitable place for the transaction
of business: and also to employ Cashier.
1t is understood that one Of the handsome
and convenient basement rooms of the new
National Bank building has been obtained
for the Savings Bank.
This institution promises much substan-
tial good to our laboring people. 1t will
encourage them to save their earnings, by
ensuring to them, first, that their money de-
posted in this Bank will be safe, and second
ly, by giving them certain rate of interest
on the amount deposited, no matter how
small. The moneys thus deposited will
be drawing interest all the time, and will
be returned whenever called for, with the
accrued interest added to the sum at first
put in. Our laboring people of both
races have every inducement to save their
T Of o,,k ~
expense, and save all they can, to buy homes
for their families and to educate their chill
dren. The Savings Bank will aid them in
doing this, by investing and turning over
their money for them We shall give statis-
tics from time to time on this subject, show
ing the advantage and usefulness of Savings
Banks as helps to industry and economy.

against a Convention, will take place

AIamance County.

1t was supposed that Alamance County
would have two members of the Conven-
ton; but Gen. Candy, in his order, based
on the registered vote, has given to Alamance
but one member.
This opens the way for union and harmo-
ny among the Repu blicans of that County.
The Republicans can carry the County, if
they will unite to man and stand shoulder
to shoulder against the enemies of recon-
struction. We appeal to them in the most
earnest terms to do this. There should be
no conflict between Republicans of the two
races Let mass convention be held, and
let the best man be nominated, and then let
every Republican rally to him and elect
him. Nominate no man who is not an
avowed Republican. Nominate no man who

said to our Franklin friends we say to all
it is better to be defeated in the right than
to triumph in the wrong. Stand to your
colors, Republicans If the Rebel leaders
put on airs, meet them more than half way,
expose them in their true colors to the peo-
pie, and the people will sustain you.
Again would we urge our Alamance
friends to unite and harmonic on some one
man for the Convention. Do not let the
County be lost, but rally, unite, work, and
save it, not only by a majority for Con-
vention, but by the election of a sound and
reliable Republican delegate ...s-... Pr

OF suicide that occurred in that city. Mr.. BEN
