The Sentinel is going to make an expose of
divers "nefarious transactions" which it
alone seems to know of. 1t is generally
thought that it is going to divulge something
concerning the sale of Agricultural Land
Scrip and the " deep damnation" :" of the
"taking off " of the " Literary Fund" The
Democrats are alarmed. What scamps
they are, to be sure.

We endorse the following from the Rich
mond Enquirer, and commend the same to
our own people. North Carolina needs de-
velopmen, as much as does Virginia, and
the sooner we leave off hating and fighting
one another the better it will be for the
State. The Bnquirer says:
now we ourselves not only believe in
physical development, but we always did
believe in l. Physical development is the
basis, the foundation, of all other develop
ment. Until a country is physically dovel-
oped it will have no arts, no literature, nc
culture. no wealth, no pO,oer, and its religion
will be feeble highland not candle sci

We must deuslop Hirginid-all OF her ma
terial resources. We must complete oui
railroads, finish our canals, open up oui
mines, utilize our water courses, build VI
our cities. And that is the great JOB Of thest

Appropriations of the last Legislatur,

|
The Democratic" papers of this State are
copying without comment the statistics IN
Of the Sentinel relative to the State debt.
The language of the Sentinel conveys the
impression that,the appropriations of the
legislature, upon which the people are to be
taxed, amount to $s6,s7O,OOo. The STAND
ARD long ago showed that the valid appro-
preparations amounted to but $13,95O, 900.
This figuring the Sentinel did not attempt
to contradict, but acknowledged to be cor
rect. These facts were known to every paper
in the State, yet no one of them has noticed
the error Of the Sentinel. On the contrary.
nearly every Democratic paper in the
State has published the original article of
the Sentinel without change or comment. -y
Why is this done2 Because they wished
to mislead the people by causing them to
believe that they are to be taxed on more
than double the amount that they really are
to pay taxes upon. saa 4
There is no denying the figures published
in the STANDARD. Their correctness is
known to all who have investigated the
matter. The Sentinel knew the people would
be taxed upon only s13, 3,95O,ooO, instead of
See, $40, 900. Yet by implication it endea-
4ored to create the impression that the peo-
pie would be taxed on s96,97O,O00. s,' '.'
We hope that those papers which wish to
see the people correctly informed will correct
the statement of the Sentinel, and give the
true state of the case, 'fir i''7 ~

DEPLoRABLE ACcIDENr.-On Monday
last, little SON of Mr.. THOMAS HICKEY,
aged about II years, met his death at Bur
sons Oil Mill, in the following manner,
as near as we can learn: Mr.. H. has been
an employee at that mill for several years,
and his little son has usually brought
his dinner to him. On Monday, he
brought his fathers dinner, and, either
seated himself on keg or stood in front
Of it near the wall, where a large iron
Frame weighing about six hundred
pounds, was leaning. The frame seems
to have been drawn forward from the
wall by the boy, and off its balance,
throwing him backward across the keg,
with the full force and weight of the
frame on top of him, crushing him and
breaking his back. He died in about Is
or 20 minutes after the accident.
