THE CONTRACTORS FOR THE STONE Work
of the Penitentiary, says the Greensboro
Republican, are earnestly at work. They
have begun to blast rock, and the quarry on
the ground will afford the very best material.
The work on the cells will shortly be COM
menced. The cell blocks will be erected
first, so that the prisoners can be confined in
them, and the Commissioners have an as
surance that they will be completed by one
year from the first OF July, so that 500 con,
.victs can be imprisoned securely in them
This is the States great work, and will be
an honor to her. A switch is being made
on the North Carolina Railroad, and a
branch road-very short-constructed into
the prison yard.

THE WASHINGTON Republican says that
gentleman who has just arrived in Wash
ington from Paris brings with him some
copies of remarkable pamphlet, printed
for private circulation in the French metrop-
oils. The subject is the probable and prox-
innate fate of Spain; and the pamphlet is
believed to forcshadow.the views and policy
of Louis Napoleon in regard to that country.
1t assumes that Spain is now going through
process Of rapid political disintegration
and it chalks out the dlsmembcrment of that
ancient country and its partition between
France, Portugal and England. Of course
France is to have the lions share of the
spoil, while small but convenient region Of
the wine district of the south, including the
city of Cadiz, is to be allotted to Great
Britain. aAs

Book NoTICEs-From Claxton, Remserd
& Hafelfnger, Philadelphia, we have two
volumes of poems 'sThe Poetical Works of
David Bates edited by his son, Stockton
Bates, and FLOWERS and Fossils" by John
K. Stayman, Professor of Ancient Ian
'guages and Classical Literature in Dicker-
SON College. The first is handsomely prin-
ted on tinted paper, and will compare we'll
with any of the publications of 0sgood d
Fields, Roberts Brothers, Or other first class
publishing houses. The poems are remark
able for the purity of their sentiment and
dictiop. and some of them are replete with
manly thought. "Speak Gently: and
sChildhood" have attained considerable
reputation already, but are. not equal as
poems, in our opinion, to ''The Voyage ol
Life "Flowers and Fossils" is not So
well gotten up, but is quite good enough
for its contents, which are not equal tt
Bates poems. This house is branch o.
Lippincott, Grant & Co. They have beer
long in the trade, though not'under theil
present name as firm. They have pub
lished several books by Southern authors
and are said to be more liberal in thei
terms to new beginners than the olde
firms. We mention their names in reply tt
the many enquiries VIC have lately had OIL
the subject of publishers from those anxiou
to launch their literary ventures.

H-BREAKING.---The bald-headed
sinner, who edits the local column OF the
Sentinel, refers to the business arrangements
of this Office, in regard to our Monday morn
ing's issue, and characterizes us as Sab
bath breaker, &c. We have to say to this
man, (who has fished for notice at our
hands, and now that he has it, that he has
broken the Sabbath from his infancy to his
manhood and failed to observe his Sundays,
for when he worked with us, IN 1865 or
1866, he labored on Sunday, and told a
sm,tsty anecdotc on Monday. On Tuesday
he held prayers and repentcd. On Wed.
nesday, he got somebody to stand his secu-
rity. On Thursday he went a-fishing or
attended a meeting of the fire company.
On Friday, he obtained few cabbage from
some poor huckster for puff; and on Sat-
urtlay, (Which is the SabbathO he worked
all day, as blind, and drew the wages of
his sins So much, therefore, for this man,
who sits in the amen corner, and casts the
first stone at printer who knows his bust
ness and attends to it.

N C. STATE FAIR-Thc last meeting Of
the Stute Agricultural Society, during the
week of the Fair, was rendered more inter
esting and profitable by the Inauguration
of the custom of having essays read upon
different subjects relating to the material in
terest of the State. We are pleased to learn
that, in accordance with resolutions of the
Society, President Battle will select gentle
men of skill and experience to prepare pa
pers on important subjects, TO be read during
the week of the next Fair. Mr.. VIM. F.
Shultz, of Salem, n. c., we learn has already
consented to prepare an essay on BEES
and HoNEY-MAKING-and Capt. Thigpen, of
the Reconstructed Farmer, will read paper
on FENCES FoR FARMS in which he will dis
cuss the questions whether the exposure and
trouble of keeping them up would justify
their being abolished. ...
These are admirable selections, and valu-
able instruction will be the result of their
labors. Mr.. Shultz has gwen the history OF
bees and their management great deal Of
study. and is perfectly familiar with the sub

UNDER THE heading of "We must eat

that the Congressional Committee on Re-
construction have resolved not to remove
the political disabilities of any person who

We say the Reconstruction Committee is
right in taking such a step. Submission,
as viewed by the Committee, does not mean
anything more than an honest, good-faith

A WORD TO PARENTs, HUsBANDs AND
BRorHERs. 1.-The excellence of any given
circle ofsocicty is guaged the sacredness
with which female virtue il guarded. There
can be no moral worth, no high sense of
honor, and, indeed, no proper selfrespect in
F that family or community in which the
chastity of woman is not above suspicion.
1t is therefore, one of the most responsible
duties of the parent and the ruler to culti-
yate in youth, of both sexes, holy regard
for purity in woman, and to prevent by every
means in their power all familiarity with
scenes or characters which would impair
the. delicacy and force of this sentiment
The presence of vice, the mere knowledge
Of its existence, is corrupting, much more
the unblushing and ostentatious display OF
degradation and infamy 10 which it leads
its victims. Poor human nature is 50 frail
that all observation and experience proves
that there is world of truth in the hack
neyed lines of Pope: fa@
"Vice is monster of such hideous mein,
That to be hated needs but to be seen,
But seen too oft, familiar with its face,
We first endure, then pity, then embrace"
Now let us apply these well known prin-
ciples to this goodly city of Raleigh. We
have an unprecedented number Of "demi
monde I" in our midst, nobody knows how
many, but it is certain their name is legion
They live in fine houses-their boudoirs are
adorned with costly furniture and decked
with flowers-their persons are arrayed in
splendid apparel and sparkle with precious
gems-birds of sweetest melody regale them
by day, and mirth and wine and dancing
close the glowing hours of night. Bediz-
ened with paint and bedecked with brilliant
ornaments, with head erect and lewd eye
piercing in all directions, they walk the
streets and shove our wives and daughters
from the sidewalks, displaying themselves in
the gayest equipages of the CITY,.
Nay, more; they may be sure at times of
stopping their carriages in our very streets,
to make designations and licentiousness. We
have even been told by one of our city pas
tors, that he had been insulted by one of
these disgraces of our town himself The
effect of such exhibitions must be intensely
corrupting upon oil classes of society, es-
pecially the young, and many poor girl
seeing the elegant dressing. the high living,
and abundance OF money these women have,
is tempted to give up an honest hord work
ing life, and take to the crimes of these mis-
erable and infamous creatures.
The public sense OF the insulted CON-
munity ought to be goaded by the indigna-
tion Of every virtuous woman in the City
till the authorities enforce the law against
such nuisances and drive them out of the
place.

fas we learn from the Star) Mr. R. K.
Bryan, on behalf OF the Topsail Agricultu-
raj Club, introduced series Of resolutions
recommending that the Legislature of the
State be asked to pass law for the encour-
agement of sheep husbandry by levying a
tax on dogs The plan contemplated in the
resolutions is to collect the tax and hold it
as fund out Of which compensation may
be made to the owners of sheep for all losses
from the deprcdati"ns of dogs. The balance
| of the fund. after meeting such demands, to

that by the contemplated law, $4,000 pei
annum might be raised, and of this amount
he estimated that $4,000 would suffice tc
nav all the losses inflicted by dogs on sheer
owners.
