For the Standard.

Mr.. EDITOR "A friend called my atten-
ton this morning to an article published in
the Sentinel of the 9th inst, signed Frank
Barnun," in which article the writer evil
IDENTIFY exhibits the littleness and meanness
of his heart. Yet l must confess that am
not in the least surprised at anything of
corrupt character emanating from his pen,
especially after his malicious attack upon
the management of the n. c. Railroad, pub
lished in the "Giratfe," of the 9th of May,
and his application for free pass over the
road the 18th of May. Abusing, slandering
and detracting from the character of the
road on the 9th inst, and seven days after
wards begging for a free pass over the same
road is betrayiEg a acedkness and corruption
in human nature in which it is difficult to
instance a parallel of like character. So
astonished was to find anything in the
shape of a human being so detestable, that
upon the reception of his note ON the 18th
of May, wrote him the following note de-
signed entirely as of a f1riCdte character, and
with view oil discarding any further inter
course with him whatever. M
COMPANY SHOPS, n. c., May 14th, 1869.
Mr.. FRANK BARNUM, Editor Giraffe, ...
Raleigh, ~ G.
SIR Your letter of the 18th inst, to Mr.
johnson, Superintendent of this road has
been referred to me- You beg still for a
pass. You have been begging for pass for
several months. You have been refused
time and again. And TO continue to beg tor
pass after writing the article of 9th inst,
in your dirty sheet, shows your inspudence
only equals your meanness.: and that you
are by nature a coward and liar !. ....
W. A. SMITH,
President.
Now, this man had ample time after the
reception of this note to have answered me
prigdtely, or publicly before he left N. c.,
but having been associated with the
"Graffe," an animal celebrated for leaping,
he suddenly leaps from N. c., into Georgia.
where lie manufactures an article as coarse,
as ugly, and as loathsome as his wicked heart
could devise Why did he not publish that
article in N.TC2 Why act so cowardly2
Simply from the fact that he knew if he had
published the article of the 9th inst, in a
n. G. Journal, and had been here in person,
he would have recei0ed q conhiding. CD, ,r
To beg for free pass over a Railroad-to
be refused-and then to grow angry-and
pervert his own language-and even make
denial of his own request is evidence suf
fcient to condemn him as unreliable, HIPPO
critical and nisera6ly corrupt. r "a. f,tT
The people of Atlanta Georgia, especially
gentlemen. would do we'll to keep an eye on
this fellow Barnum." He left N. G. so
; fast that my "dogs" that used to catch
secesh deserters with, would have failed as
to him. w. A. SMITH.

The Wilmington Post, after commenting
at some length upon the subject, says: "For
example: Mr.. A owns piece of real estate
which he wishes to dispose of. He throws
it upon the market, and fails to get a bid
that would warrant him in making deed.
He then places it in the hands of the North
Carolina Real and Personal Estate Agency,
at fair valuation, and the property is sold
by chance-the owner gets his price-the
Company fair and reasonable compensation
for selling-and some poor man, for taco DOL
lars, comes in possession of a homestead,
which, under any other circumstances, he
would not have owned.
In fact, we do not view the Company as
lottery-it is what it purports to be, a SIM
pile agency for the sale of property Tor its
true value, which, otherwise would be sac
rifced." ...-...'.'. $500. F..

TOBACCO PLANTS The complaints of
ravages of the fly on the tobacco plants (says
the Lynchburg (Va) Ne,o@ increase rather
than diminish as the planting season comes
on. We are informed that many persons
who contemplated raising tobacco have
planted their land in corn, on account of
the destruction of the plants. A friend
from Henry informs us that the fly is play
ing destruction in that county. rs. III. .-

Col. Henderson, says the old North State
the Assessor for this District, is having
printed and posted in the various parts of
the District, schedule of articles and occu-
pations subject to tax under the Excise laws
of the United States, as amended July the
Goth, 1868. '
BY this means, all parties interested, may
easily ascertain whether they are in any
way liable for any taxes under said laws or
not. Heretofore it is probable that much
revenue was lost to the government for the
want of the dissemination of such informa
ton as is impaired in this schedule. 1t IS
also probable that many persons have been
involved in difficulties in violating the rev.
enue laws for the same reason

ACroR ACCIDENTALLY STABBED on TIE
STAGE.-A large audience assembled at De
Bars last night, on the occasion OF grand

taking the part of Marie Mrs. Emma Stone,
Of the stock company, played Julie dc Bourghc,
and MIR. A. b. Pearson, an amateur, perform
I'd the villsinous part OF Captain Jeane
l.uzerao. Tho play was written for a tragedy,
hut 10 the hands OF the amateurs 1t broke out
into farce, and closed with a scene that wes
sragical and really bloody. In the third scene
of the fifth act the programme calls Tor
>Gamblng hell julia in search OF captain
i.uzerne; q careless ward; Jealous man !,
retribution; death of 1uzerno by tho hand
al julio do Bourghe," &c. In executing the
net Of retributioD, Mrs Stone used dagger
lng him OF his villainy, plunges the dagger
into his heart, aud he dies in great agony
the lady, through q mistake, plunged the
dagger into Mr. Parsons back, just behind
the arm pit, and the blood gushed freely IRON
abe wound. lilo goes through the motion OF
dying, and the real pain caused by the real
wound enabled him to die with the most etfec
tive contortons OF countcnance, groans. &c.-
The audience cheercd rapturousy, and thought
the amateur was playing his part up to the
handle" but they did not know that the dag
ger had been thrust up to the handle IN ms
back. The wound blcd freely, but proved only
flesh wound. DIR. BOhannon, an amateur
actor and professional doctor, was sent tor and
dressed the wound, and pronounced it inslg
nlGcant. The ladies' of the company were very
much agitated and distressed by the occurrence,
hut there was no great harm done, and the
worst result OF the accident was bloody shirt.
