WILSON,,

We publish most interesting letter this
morning concerning our enterprising and
growing neighbor up the Weldon Rail
road. We have watched the increasing
strength and growth of Wilson with much
interest and pleasure, and it has been a
source of regret that our merchants have
let its business pass away almost entirely
to other points, with scarcely a struggle to
retain it. There are no more reliable and
substantial people anywhere. Industrious,
prosperous, blessed with fertile soil and
healthy climate. Wilson is the centre of as
promising section as any in this part of
the State. It's trade is very large, and
much of it can be drawn to our city il the
proper effort is made.
We hope when the Cape Fear Agricul-
tural Association gets fully under way, and
the planters and merchants and the citizens
generally of that immediate county are at
tracted here by the exhibitions and
pleasures which its Fairs will hold out,
that we will in considerable degree
renew our business relations with the,!c.
The merchant and farmer will find induce
ments here in dry goods, groceries, and
hardware unequalled in the State, while
our retailers can supply all articles of
family wants and necessities at prices as
low as in the Northern markets.

Foreign War andl Domestic Peace.

Such peaceful warriors as Senators
SUMNER and CHANDLER, men who nave
long upheld "the flag" on paper and In
Congress, who have fought for their coun-
try behind their desks and on Pennsyl-
yania Avenue, are determined to plunge
the United States into war with England
or Spain, or both. These men do not ex-
pect to shoulder the musket, but only to
scent the battle from afar. They feel it
only by it's blessings in the shape OF
shoddy contracts for their friends. "
This same class of men begun to fight the
South after the surrender of the Confederate
armies, except the services of few rem
dered before the battle of Manassas.
Now, as these politicians have not yet
permitted the late war to cease, we would
advise them, as being prudent, to let us
have peace" at home before we begin to
fight abroad. With country divided in
feeling, in interest; with bitter memories
narrowed up continually by vindictiveness
and expressions and SANDERS ; arrogance
and hate on the one part epgenderiDg
poverty and humiliation on the other, we
can assure these fireside veterans that the
United States is in no condition to seek B.
foreign war.

about one hundred dollars in money, q repeater,
and some other things. But not being altogether
disheartened at these misfortunes Mr.. Gore gave
general invitation to all the neigh bors to attend
party at his hous3 on iast evening. and while
thee were all.nivying social party, some out.
lawed vii ian CT ept up to the room where they all
were. and fired into the window, shattering the
glass, the ball passing through the room, caus-
ing general skrieking and crying among the
ladies, while the gentlemen rushed out OF the
room to find the william, but he had absconded to
the woods near by, and could not be found. -
Fortunately as the ruling Being frowns upon all
wrong. the ball mysteriously passed through the
room without injury to any one except the fright
on the part of the ladies and partial breaking
up of the party. Whether the crime was aimed
for some one whom the cowardly william was
afraid to meet like man or who should unfortu-
nately be it's victim could not say, but we do
say that it was the most atrocious act that has
ever been committed around the village Of Little
Ri er, and we do hope that the perpetrators may

4 Fact. a Moral, aud a Tale.

The New York Herald says that the two
colored men recently appointed to foreign
missions, Clay of New Orleans, to Hayti,
and Bassett of Philadelphia, to Liberia,
have declined their appointments. This
fact is suggestive of two striking points,
In the first place the government has seem
ed to shrink from putting negro officers in
contact with any white people but those of
the South, to whom, by instinct and edu-
cation, such relations are naturally most
obnoxious. Secondly, these educated dar-
kies seem to shrink from the honor of SER
wing in countries where their own color
has monopoly. We are reminded of a
true story of that very respectable colored
nurse. Jlnsey Snow, SO well and kindly re-
INBRED by most of our citizens. She
was the mother in law of Roberts the Pre-
sident of the Liberian Republic, and short
ly after his elevation to Office responded to
an invitation to visit HIM. Naturally
enough she was made much of, and it
might have been presumed that the remain
d of her days would be spent in the land
where she was "prinaa inter pares. But
no, the old lady speedily returned to her
old home, and being questioned as to the
reason for that course, frankly replied
"why bless you honey. my eyes ached to
see some white folks"
