DELEGATES ELECTED At a meeting O.
the Council Of the Friends of Temperance
in this place, on Saturday evening last
Messrs. Exum Lewis, Jordan Stone and D.
c. Richardson were appointed as delegates
to represent this Council in the Grand
State Council which meets in Wilmington
on the second Wednesday in November -
We wish the delegates y pleasant time,
though we admit the wish is selfish in so
far as one of the delegates is concerned
He promises himself to call upon the pres
ent Local OF the Star to pay the indebt-
edness of the late retired Capt Evans
whose vauntings about his New River Oys-
ters would have gotten himself into busi-
ness had he waited for the assembling Of
this State COuncil.-Weldon St.de.
CoTToN IN TRANsITU. The amount of new
cotton passing here for Petersburg, Nor
folk, Baltimore, and other points farther
North, is daily increasing. The impress
sion exists that the most Of the farmers
will send their cotton as soon rs possible,
not anticipating any rise in the market
sufficient to Justify their waiting.
We have made arrangements to obtain
the amounts daily passing this point to the
different markets, and shall publish them,
deening that it will be of interest to the
farmer and to the merchant to know the
amount Of this staple going into the differ
ent markets from the country back OF us
through this one great central point

PoLITIcAL.-We learn that the speeches
of Gov. Vance and Judge Osborne, last |
week, in Union county, told with crushing |
effect upon the Radicals, and that many of |
the best men in tho county, who had, I'M
der mistaken sense of duty, joined the
Red-strings, are leaving them III disgust
The conservative element, it is cOnfdenti-
ally asserted, will prevail at the approach
ing election. Let our best men every where |,
be induced to take the stump and we will
achieve glorious success in November

SPEAKING IEsTEEDAY.-->ifter the ad-
journment of court yesterday, 1arge crowd
assembled in the square to hear speeches I
from Gov, Vance, Judge Osborne and Col. +
VIM. Johnston. The speeches were re-
cei7ed with much applause. Gov. Vance {
handled the Radicals with gloves of, much
to the amusement of the crowd. Even the
negroes seemed much impressed with the
plain common sense talk Of the speakers. |
We hope, for their sakes, that they will {
ponder the acts wcll.-CharlOtte Netrs. {
To TIE COTTON PLANTERS OF NORTH CAR {
the commission merchants {
of Petersburg, and the proper officials, we l
have derived the following information,
which, if used, will be for the benefit of |
both planter and factor. f
The main point which should be known !
is that under permit they can ship or re- f
move cotton without any prepayment of +
tax. This privilege has been allowed un- t
der regulations. =
Persons desiring to ship cotton can get t
form 100, which must be used, from the as q
SCISSOR or his assistant, and ship it to the t
collector in the market to which they de- S
sire to send it. +
The collector will deliver it to the COM J
mission merchant, who may be designated a
by the firm. The tax is then paid by him. I
The producer may send it as soon as it is t
ready, without paying the tax in his dis
trict. O
The advantage of this arrangement is y
that if it is not desired at once to sell the a
cotton, it may be stored, to take advantage u
of the market The assessor has no right | h
to refuse the permit, and should be report @
ed if he does. If you prefer to prepay the c
tax You can do SO. If not, do as advised
aboye.-Pet. Llder l.
RAILROAD BRIDGE.-We understand that .
Iuite a number Of hands are now engaged d
IN rebuilding the Railroad Bridge, over The I
river, near this place, which will probably t
be finished by the middle of next month.
1t is quite job, as the immense freshets of
the Spring completely destroyed it, be-
sides washing away considerable portion c
Of the embankment on the other side. (

PAINFUL ACCIDENT We regret to learn :
that Mr.. ". B. Jordan, of Rocky Mount, +
met with a most painful misfortune on Fri 0
day last, while engaged in a game Of Base t
Ball, with the Ol mpic Club, Of which he /
is member. Mr.. J. attempted to home !:
the Ball, and in the effort broke his arm l.
near the elbow
Another instance Of the great danger at
tending the evolutions of this popular &
game.
Better adopt the suggestion of recent I
writer and substitute ''mumble de peg" us

\ DOUBLE SoMERsAULT, &C.-As the stage /
from Washington was endeavoring to cross I
Hendricks Creek, near Town, on Monday
evening-the whole affair, stage, horses +
driver and all, came near reaching that n
8 bourne from whence no traveller re- a
turns s
The incessant rains of that day and night t
before had swollen the little stream with an c
almost impossible flood, and in the at f
tempt to cross, the stage was completely S
overturned, the driver only escaping by c
swimming. The horses were extricated af- r
ter considerable difficulty, but the Z. S.
Mail was lost, and has not since been re- 1
covered. !
1t IS fortunate there we're no passengers, c
as confined within the close vehicle, they t
must have found a watery grave. c
