trains or passing the Councils TO and from
Goidshoro' at reduced rates.-Wu. Jour.

stroyed the Radical majority in two whole

Coon NEws.-A gentleman of high re-
spcctability gives us good news from the
Counties of Wayne, New Hanover, Bruins
wick, Columbus and Cumberland. The
White people of these Counties are
thoroughly awakened and will give glo-
riously record at the coming Election.
Men Of Edgecombe be not laggard in the
great fight, vote the whole Conservative
Ticket.
| A CHANGE OF SCHEDULE-Ne would
venture to suggest to our worthy Post Mas
ter, the Importance Of notifying the public
of any change in the arrival and departure
Of the mails from this place, as a non OBJ
servance of this may have the effect OF
causing much Inconvenience and it may be
loss.
On Tuesday morning last change was
, made in the departure Of the mail, and tc
our astonishment we found that we were
too late to mail two important letters.
1t had been closed just one hour sooner
than it was the day before and without any
notification
The constitutions of three of the New
: England States, to wit. Maine, New Hamp
shire, and Massachusetts,, expressly eAcep
paupers from the privilege ofthe franchise
and no three States are more persistent il
insisting that none but black paupers shall
vote in ten Of the Southern States.
PERsoNAL.-The many friends of Mr.
Leon A. Williams, whose recent severe
I illness has elected the deepest sympathy O
our entire community, will be glad to learl
that lie is now somewhat better and tina
some hopes are entertained that we shal
. once more have the pleasure of seeing hin
in our midst.
