ToBACco-THE STATE OF TIE MARKET
We had occasion yesterday to attend the
breaks at Liberty and Friends warehouses.
and observed with satisfaction that great
animation prevailed in the market, and that
all grades Of tobacco sold for good prices
with an upward tendency. The tobacco of
fered was disposed of quickly, the bids be-
ing quick, and the general disposition of
buyers being an active competition for large
purchases. The planters are beginning to
bring in their crops freely, and receipts for
the past several days have been large. While
sales continue high and advancing, it would
be to their interest to hurry in with their
crops, and realize the good prices that are
being paid freely for all qualities. Lync1-

RICHMOND, July 3l.-John W. jenkins, Chair
man of State Central Committee of the Wells
Republican party, having written letter to DR..
Gimer, Chairman of the Central Committee of
Walker Republican party, urging that the two
parties now unite for carrying out Republican
principles in the State, the latter gentleman
writes a letter in reply, saying, that the Walker
Republicans left the Wells party because they
were either forced to do SO, or oppose the policy
of The President. After alluding to the almost
unanimous endorsation of Republican principles
by the white men OF the State, and asserting
that the colored people who were misled by the
Wells leaders, are now Hooking by hundreds
to the Grant Walker Standard" he concludes
as follows "You ask for coalition of the'two
wings OF the Republican party-I cannot admit
that the party is divided; on the contrary
claim that the Grant Walker party
is the National Republican party of
Virginia, representing the policy of the Presi-
dent and of Congress, and as such mas no divis-
ion to heal.
To the late Wells party have only to say, we
shall gladly welcome them to our ranks, for we
are unwilling to deprive any class of men of the
innumerabe blessings that must flow to Virginia
from an unequvocal enforcement of those na-
tional principles Of which President Grant and
Congress are the head and front.
Col. Thos P. August a prominent lawyer,
died this morning. He was an officer in the

Railroading Extraordinary.

The difficult feat of running railway
train without locomotive has been accom-
pllshed by conductor on road near
Springfield On arriving at a station on
his route one evening, his engine became
disabled, and the nearest locomotive was
kept two depots ahead. Unhitching his lame
horse, and telegraphing to have the locomo-
tive in readiness on his arrival, our conduc-
tor shouted "All aboard" ordered "Of
brakes" and the heavily loaded cars went
down the grade like mad, without the him
drance of the reverse steam process, and
with no whistle or bell to warn people from
the crossings. By superhuman efforts OF the
brakesman the train was stopped at the first
station. Then it was let loose on its travels
through the deep cuts and dense darkness,
over half dozen bridges and around the
sharpest curves, making the desired depot a
few minutes head of time, when the hero
of the adventure stepped out and cheer
lily ordered the engineer to hitch on his
machine

Last Friday, Messrs Upehurch & Dodd
bought load of cotton, which was drawn
by wagon from Duplin county. The high
est prices are always paid by the Raleigh
merchants, and the farmers through large
tract of country are beginning to realize the
fact that it is the best cotton market they
can send to. Extensive storehouses are now
building, in addition to these in use, and
farmers who at any time desire to wait, can
leave their cotton in store for an advance.
Upchureh & Dodd pay the best prices, and
theirs is the largest store house in town.
Their new house is rapidly going up, and
when it is finished they can do much
larger trade.

We learn that on Saturday, July oath
about midnight, a body of men, armed TO
teeth, went to the Jail in Pittsboro, Chat
ham county, demanded the keys from the
iailor, unlocked the,iail, liberated Mr.. Dorsey
Davis, locked the Jail without turning other
prisoners loose. and left. The mob swore
they would tear the Jail down if they could
get the Jail open in'no other way, and being
in so strong force, the jaior made no resist
zance Persons who-saw them estimate the
number of the gang at from forty to fifty.
They are said to have been entire strangers
to every one theFe<who saw them.
1t will.be recollected that Mr. Davis was
convicted of violation of the revenue laws
at the June term of the United Stotes Court,
and sentenced to six months Imprisonment
and fire of $1,000. Whoever his liberators
may be, they act upon the idea that mob
IS. justified in overtuming the laws, defying
the civil authorities, and taking the admin
istration of justice into their own hands.
That policy would destroy all government,
and place every nan at the mercy of any
bloody man or set EFF men who might feel
Injured If these men can be found out,
little wholesome justice would be good
for the State, and we are glad to learn the
good people of Pittsboro, think SO too.
