SOME DIFFERENCE.-We learn that the
Judges of the Supreme Court made an esti-
mate that their decision in the late railroad
cases would reduce the taxes to be paid
81 cents from the gross amount. But the
Public Treasurer in his Circular issued to
the sheriffs, states the deduction at only IT
cents. This is wide difference and might
be well enough to inquire into.-States-
ciUe american.
The above paragraph is copied by nearly
every paper in the State. We have before
stated that the Governor and Council exam
ined the decision of the Supreme Court in
the University R. R. case, and concluded
that it relieved taxes to the amount of 81
cents. This Interpretation was concurred
in by every Justice of the Supreme Court.
Acting upon it, the Public Treasurer issued
the circular above referred to. If persons
attempt to evade the payment of the tax,
they will only involve themselves in useless
trouble and expense. Papers that have CO.
pied the item from the American may save
their readers some trouble by publishing
this statement.

CITY AND STATE NEWS.
The Weekly Standard.

With this number we commence the issue
of our enlarged Weekly. The WEEKLY
STANDARD now contains more reading
matter than any paper published
in the South, with the single exception OF
the New Orleans Times. We hope that
our friends will do all in their power to OBJ
tain new subscribers for us, that its infiu-
ence may be made still greater than 1t
now is. In few days we shall send out
specimen copies together with a pros
pectus to each copy and hope that each
of our friends will get us up club
of new readers. The terms for the WEEKLY
STANDARD are most liberal Notwithstand-
ing its enlargement, the price has been low
cred to $3.50 per year for single copy, and
for clubs of six and over, .$2.O0 per copy,
making it the cheapest paper in the South.

STATE FAIR-INTEREsTING FEATURES
Mr.. Battle, the President of the North
Carolina Agricultural Society, has, in pur-
suance of resolution of the Society, re-
quested gentlemen versed on particular sub
jects of agricultural, &C., interest, to read
papers on such subjects before the society at
its annual meeting, during Fair week. Sew
eral have, we learn, responded favorably.
Among others, R. F. Hoke. who was born
and raised in the midst of iron worlssb will
read paper on the F" Cranberry Iron," said
to be found in enormous deposits in Mitchell
county, and found by experience to be equal
to the Danemora Iron Of Sweden. This will
no doubt be an able and instructive paper.
One of the most valuable essays will be by
Col. John s. Dancy, one of the most en-
lightened cotton planters in Edgecombe, and
an editor of the Reconstructed Farmer. His
theme will be "the best manure for cotton
including the best mode of making compost
heaps" Those of our planters who desire
to rival Edgcombe farmers will do well to
give careful heed to Col. Dancy's advice
Fruit growing will undoubtedly be 8
great element in the future prosperity O
North Carolina. Rev. G. w. Westbrook
one of founders of the Westbrook Nurserie:
of Guildford, and who may be said to hay,
been born under an apple tree and GRADED
on peach blossoms, will read paper Oh
eFruit- Growing in Middle North Carolina
His instructions on such matters will hay
all the more value because he has been al
his life in Guildford and Warren counties
engaged in practical genealogical expert
| ments and researches. AVIS

GRAVEL WALLs-James Harris, Esq, is
building store house on the corner of
Martin street on his lot opposite the Baptist
Grove, and using what is called gravel or
concrete" walls. He assures us the cost
will be far less than brick; and the expert
ence of builders is that it is more durable
than common brick, besides being more
ornamental when neatly finished. A mix
ture, made of granite rock, broken into
small fragments and mixed with pieces of
brick, and the proper quantity of lime mortar,
is put into bottomless box of the thickness
of the walls. Next morning the mortar will
have become hardened, and the moulds are
| slipped up to the top and again filed. Thus
the wall goes up foot or two daily. The
outside is at last plastered with cement, and
neatly pencilled, giving the walls the appear
ance OF being built of cqt stone; and they
are almost as durable Workmen are EN-.
ployed upon it daily, and persons who desire
to see the process Of construction, in view o.
future building of their own, should call al
i once.

BORROWING PAPERs.-We receive fire.
quent complaints from our subscribers who
get their papers at country offices, that their
STANDARD is often taken from the postoffice
by persons who want to read it, but do not
subscribe; and often when they call for it,
it is not to be found, or if found at all, it is
nearly worn out or badly damaged by use.
One writer thinks the postmasters have no
authority to let matter, committed to the
mails, go out of their hands to any but par
ties to whom it is sent or who are author
lied to receive it. While we appreciate the
annoyance to which subscribers are subject
ed, we are glad to know that so many per.
sons read the STANDARD, and can see but
one way out of the difficulty complained Of
If every man who now reads the paper, will
subscribe for it and lend it to his neighbors
its circulation, which is now rapidly increas
ing, will be more than double in a month
and every reader will be better satisfied.

LATEST BY TELEGRAPH,
From Washington.

WASHINGTON, Aug. Colt Is stated on ex-
cellent authority that neither General Lee nor
any noted Confederate officer viii attend the
Gettysburg Identification Meeting. Confederate
generals avoid meeting, because they are appre-
hensive of disagreements regarding numbers,
positions, and relative valor. aa! i ID
Objections to the Gettysburg Identification
are: that the corps commander, Longstreet, is
in New Orleans; A. P. Hills dead; Ewell, from
loss of leg and i-health is unable to travel, and
Stuart commanding cavalry, is dead, Without
the presence Of these officers correct identified
ton of the Confederate position is impossible.

THE COMMISSIONERS for building the Pen
itentiary have been in session in this City
for several days past, Mr.. G. W. Welker, one
of the Board, having just returned from
tour of inspection through the principal
Penitentiaries in the Northern States. I'M
portant business has been transacted at this
meeting. They have employed as Architect,
Major Levi T. Schofeld, of Ohio, gentle
man of ability and celebrity in his profession,
who is now engaged on several public build
ings and State institutions and has in his
employ the most accomplished craftsmen
in this country of European education.
Major Schofeld is recommended not only for
his proficiency in his profession, but also for
his sterling integrity and heightened char
acter as gentleman; and we think the
Committee peculiarly fortunate in securing
the services of such man. The drawings,
plans, &c, will be furnished at an early day.
Mr.. WI. Hicks, of this City, has been APP
pointed Assistant Architect and Superinten-
dent of the building. He is a gentleman
well known in this community for his supe-
rior capacity as master mechanic and
builder, of mdoubted probity and purity of
character. This is considered an excellent
appointment.
Proposals for four millions of brick are
advertised for in our columns to-day. The
outside and main walls of the building are
| to be built of very fine and durable gran
lite, found on the spot, the quarry for which
is partially opened; but many of the inte-
| rior walls will be built of brick. The lum-
Der and materials are on the grounds for the
erection of the stockade and temporary build
ings for the prisoners, while employed on
the main building. Work will be COM
menced Immediately upon these temporary
buildings, and they will be ready for the
reception of the guests of the State in about
two months.
1t is proposed to build the penitentiary
600 feet in length, and finish it in the best
and most durable manner, with the most
approved internal arrangements; and the
architect estimates that the total cost will
be about 100000, not, in any event, to ex-
coed 100000. The gentlemen comprising
the board, and the architects employed, are
Jealous to perform their duty for the best
interests of the State, and we have no doubt
that under their supervision first class
building will be erected at the lowest posi-
| BILE cost the State.

building is to be three story and basement
brick, 25xS0 feet The rent received is 81 900
perannum, possession to be given Immediately
upon its completion. 1t is a promising sign
to see buildings sought for and rented be-
fore they are built.
