N. Bunting, Esq, Clerk Of the Superior
Court of Wake, for the following extract
from a letter received by him from District
Headquarters, which conveys information
in matter Of much Importance to suitors {:
''Referring to your communication of
January LIST, am instructed by the Com
manding General to state that wherever,
by the terms of military orders, the en-
forcement Of a Judgment is stayed, the
collection of costs and fees incident to the
same is likewise stayed''

This is taking the least encouraging esti-
mate, and it shows majority of sixteen for
SEYMoUk-seven votes more than are neces-
sary for an election. But there is some
danger of our defeat in Alabama and Lou
isiana, and the, vote of either State against
Mr.. SEYMOUR would give the election to
GRANT. If South Carolina, however, be
carried by the Democracy, the position of
our candidate will be wonderfully strength
ened, and it is certainly within the limits
of possibility that this one small State may
decide the Presidential election.
Estimates at this time possess, of course,
no positive value. Facts are the safest test;
but it is not oil speculation to say that the
vote will be close, and that the action Of
South Carolina may decide the struggle.
This should be enough to encourage our
clubs to exert themselves to the utmost in
confirming the doubtful and drumming up
recruits. The old political adsge may be
changed, end 'sas South Carolina goes'' 30
may 20 the election. Hard work, and hard
reasoning, with white men and freedmen,
for one month, may enable the Democrats
to carry the State, and, if the worst comes
to the worst, we shall at least have done
our duty.

CHI RI ES T ON
MONDAY MORNING, OCTOBER 12. 1868.
What We Have to Do.

At present it seems probable that at the
elections which take place tomorrow,
Ohio will be carried by the Radicals and
Indiana and Pennsylvania by the Dem
ocrats. "As Pennsylvania goes so goes
"the Union" and an estimate of the proba-
BILE vote will show what is the work before
us. Fourteen New England and West
ern States, including Ohio and Illinois,
which gave Republican majorities at the
last elections, will, in all probability, 60
solidly for GRANT and CoLFAx. To them
we may add, of the Southern States, Flor
ida, Missouri, South Carolina, Tennessee
and West Virginia. On the other side, we
give 10 SEYMOUR anu BLAIR the votes of six
States which elected the Democratic candi-
dates at the last elections, and add to these
the vote of Pennsylvania, Indians, Nebras-
ka and Kansas, as well as of Maryland,
Kentucky, and five other Southern States.
The total electoral vote, excluding the
States Of Virginia, Mississippi and Texas,
is 294, and 14S votes are necessary to an
election. According to the division we have
made, the result will be as follows:

The National Debt.

The Democratic papers of the North are
just now making most effective use of let
ter written by the Hon. ROBERT j. WALKER
on the subject of the public debt. He shows
that the annual expenditures of the Federal
Government have been increased cover
"forty-six millions Of dollars (S4G, 05G, 500
"by an augmentation to that extent of the
''yearly interest Tin currency of the public
"debt since April so, 1861" He admits
that there may have been possibly ga small
production of the public debt last month;
'but this reduction, if made, will be in
"debts bearing mainly no interest, or in
"war claims withheld, whilst the deJt bear.
sing coin interest ,cill be augmented"
These statements may seem of little in
terest to the Southern reader, whose atten-
ton is absorbed by problems that more
Immediately concern the prosperity of the
Southern communities; but the conclusions
of Mr.. WALKER link together with logical

The Death of Hon. Howell Cobb.

The Hon. HOWELL COBB, whose sudden
death in New York has been announced by
telegraph, was only second to Mr.. STEPHENS
in prominence among the eminent men
whom Georgia has given to the councils of
the nation. Mr.. CoDD was born in Jeffer-
son County, Georgia, in 1915, and was edu-
Gated at Franklin College. He was admit
ted to the Bar in 1886, and six years later
was chosen as representative in Congress,
where he served for four consecutive terms.
In 1s4S he rose to the Speakership Of the
House, dignity which he had won not less
by his generous nature and disposition to
fairness than by his admitted excellence
as presiding officer. At the close of his
term he was elected Governor of Georgia.
In 1856 he was again elected to Congress,
and on the accession of Mr.. BUCHANAN to
the Presidency Governor COBB went into
his Cabinet as Secretary of the Treasury.
Most of our readers are doubtless familiar
with the prominent part borne by Mr..
COBB in the Confederate struggle, as well
in its military as in its civil aspects. His
whole life was devoted to the service of the
State and people from whom he had re-
ceived so many marks of confidence and ap-
proval; and it was while engaged in mis-
sion to promote the welfare of that people
that he met his untimely death.
