doubt but every town along the lire in
Maine would grant the five per cent. sub
scriptions authorized by the Legislature.
Mr.. Ray of Lancaster said that although
the towns in New Hampshire through
which the road would pass were generally
poor. they would do something. and pri-
vate subscriptions would also be mace in

We learn that the Radicals of Brunswick
have nominated the following ticket, viz :
E. Legg, for Senator Is. D. Morrill,,
for Representative = Britt, for Sheriff ;
". Strieber, S. G. Clerk, and John Ell.
These, County Treasurer. We learn that
the two last will not accept. Mr.. Strieber
is not a naturalized citizen, and Mr.. These
is a decided Conservative No negroes are
on the ticket. We suppose these hungry
patriots complimented these poor, igno-
rant people by appointing them to compli-
mentary positions in the meeting, but
took care to nominate themselves for pay

We would be glad to publish an account
of the doings of that wonderful meeting,
as we learn some interesting seems took
place, if any of our good friends will fur

ZELL'S SUPER PHOSPHATE of LINZ
Adapted to all Kinds of Crops.

With the advice and aid of the best Chemists,
coupled with long experience in the Fertilizer
trade we ere enabled to offer to the Agricut urel
community a SUPER PHOSPHATE OF LIME
which we cay1 recommend to give general salts
faction, being manufactured from rich Phos-
phatic Guano, containing 70 per cent of Bone
Phosphate of Lime, treated with Sulphuric Acid,
and 10 to IS per cent. Bone Phosphate of Lime
rendered soluble; at the same time rendered
quick in it's action by the addition of Ammonia.
It contains all the elements of the soil that en-
tiers into the composition of the root, fibre, grain
and leaves of plant. Its condition is such that
it readily assimilates and restores to the soil the
elements of which it has been deprived by the re-
moval of the crop, and permanently enriches it.
A trial will convince any Of the beneficial
effects and advantages of it's use over other Fer
tilzers.
On the Cotton crop it prevents the dropping of
bons, improves the quality of lint and forces the
plant out the reach of the frost.
Fine and dry for drilling.
Certificates from many practical Farmers, in
various sections of the South will testify to the
superior excellence of
Z.LLss tgiMDsgiEtA4s rs
as peculiarly adapted to the cultivation of
Corn, Cotton, Oats, Wheat, Rye, Grass
Potatoes and Tobacco.

Major Joseph 4. EhgeLhard:
SIR Il have the honor to acknowledge
the receipt of your letter of the Goth inst,
informing me, as Secretary thereof. that
the District Convention of the 10Th at Will
mington, had unanimously nominated me
for the Solicitorship of this Judicial Dis.
trict
This action, my fellow citizens, is COM
plimentary, much beyond my desert. Here
tofOre, like the village school-master OF
Goldsmith, my sober wishes have led me
fur from the madddening crowds igno-
bic strife" and with no desire to enter the
dusty and wrangling arena of politics, 1
have pursued the nOiseless tenor of my way,
an humble disciple of the law, satisfied with
its rewards, and content in my vocation.
The office to which [ have been named
is not political one, and, therefore, 1 ac-
cept the nomination with the greater salts
faction, in that it accords with the current
of nv life. If elected, [ will bring to the
discharge of its duties whatever force of
ability l may possess, and my course, as
Attorney for the State, shall be marked by
the same degree of zeal and earnestness
with which l have labored as a lawyer.
In the discharge of the duties of this po-
sition, political feelings, attachments or
prejudices have no proper place hence,
while endorsing, as do, fully and SQuareLy,
the platform of the Conservative party, and
acting as 1 am, and as 1 entend to act, with

We place at the head of our columns to-
day the ticket submitted by the Executive
Committee for the acceptance of the peo-
ple of New Hanover We eeliustly proud
of our candidates. Their names are fami-
liar to the good people of the county, aud
there is not one of them who is not endear-
ed to the citizens of New Hanover by SER
vices in their behalf. For ability, for high
moral and social qualities. for lifelong
interest in the welfare of the State and
County, We commend them 20 the people,
and demand for them their undivided sup
port.
In submitting to the people of Bruins
wick the name of Major EMMETT, as one of
the two Senators allotted to New Hanover
and Brunswick, we offer them for their
suffrages no stranger. His character and
ability are we'll known, and shoulder to
shoulder with many gallant sons of Bruins
wick, he has toiled through the weary
marches of a four years war, and with
them rushed 81 the imminent, deadly
breach" Major EMMETT will doubtless
avail himself of an opportunity of address
ing the people of Brunswick during the
canvass.
White men Of New Hanover we appeal
to you not to neglect a vote for this ticket
VOTE DOWN THE ACCOUNTABLE CONSTITUTION.

are attempting to disgrace the county
Now is the very crisis of our fate. Let
every man do his duty
