1t was quite time that Governor Holdc n
of North Carolina came to Washington Ior
advice and aid. Ho says that in one iudc
al district three hundred whippings and four
teen murders of known Republicans have
been chronicled, with number of rapes and
barbarities too horrible for publication. In
one case a burning stick was thrust into a
woman's mouth to keep her from screaming
The civil authorities entirely failUtt IN their
attempts to prevent or punish this lawless
ness, and the Governor organized two regi-
ments of militia, with which he hopes to
preserve the peace. The President has sent
down two companies of United States troops,
with the assurance that more can be had if
necessary. How long is this violence to
continue North Carolina has again been
obliged to sendto her physician for medicine.
Woe betide her if the Doctor himself finds
it necessary to march down.-M Y. Stand

THE UMBRELLAS that were used so plenti-
fully to keep off rain a few days ago, are
now necessary to parry the rays of the hot
test sun we have bad this year. Keep on the
shady side and be temperate if you would
avoid q sunstrokc. Cases of sunstroke are
numerous. All the large cities report deaths
daily, from this cause. There are certain
very simple rules by the careful observance of
which sunstrokes may be prevented. The
use of stimulating liquors should always he
avoided, for they serve to weaken rather
than induce strength, only very temporarily.
Iced waited or other drinks cooled with ice
should not be used. A little iced water
mixed with that from the cistem or spring
is very good; but no one should drink too
much water, but rather suffer little from
thirst than run the great risks of free indul-
gcnce, which are many, and include bowel
complaints and other affections, which are
dangerous. Men exposed to the sun while
at work should never forget, when the
weather is hot, to dip handerchiefs in water
and put them in their hats. This will abate
thirst and keep the system cool. A bunch
of green leaves or grass, where water is not
readily at hand, Will suit almost as well.
Sunstroke, when it does not result IN death,
leaves the brain always in a highly irritable
condition, and renders persons who have
always been affected peculiarly liable to the
recurrence of attacks. AS the hot season is
at hand we trust these hints may be attend
ed to.

STABBING-Two lads, named Morton and
Fuller, both strangers, the former Northern
youth, and the latter claiming to hail from
Florida, had an alteration in Goldsboro',
on Saturday last, which resulted in Morton
being stabbed by Fuller just above his right
eye.
The Messenger says: SIT seems that, for
several days, Morton had endeavored to
pick fuss with Fuller by accusing him of
being yankee, &c. Fuller had repeatedly
requested to be let alone, denying the accu-
sation. On last Saturday evening Morton
resumed his persecution, and, after parley
of words, slapped Fuller in the face; where
upon, the latter drew knife and stabbed
his aggressor above the eye.
Fuller acted entirely in self defence and
no blame can be attached to him"

Henry First, after the Death of his Son.
BY uEMANs.

Inc bark that held the prince went dowc
The sweeping waves rolled on; =
And what was England's glorious crown
To him was wept SON?
he livcd-fOr life may long be borne,
Ere sorrow breaks its chain;
Still comes not death to those who mourn =
He meyer smiled again!
There stood proud forms before his throne,
The stately and the brave;
But which could fill the place of one,
That one beneath the wave?
Before him passed the young and fair,
In pleasures reckless train;
But seas dashed o'er his sons bright hair
He never smiled againi
He sat where festal bowls went round;
He heard the minstrel sing;
He saw the Journeys victor crowned
Amid the mighty ring -
A murmer OF the restless deep
Mingled with every strain,
A voice OF winds that would not sleeps
He never smiled again
Hearts in that time, closed o'er the trace
Of VOWS once foldly poured;
Aud strangers took the kinsman's place
At many joyous board;
Graves, which true love had batbed in tears,
Were left to heavens bright rain;
Fresh hopes were born for other years.
He never smiled again

TAKE A TRlr TO THE SEA-SHoRE.---
A number OF persons among Us are pre-
pairing to take summer excursions to springs
and to cool places on the margin of the roll
ing sea. In the good old times of plenty of
money and extensive cotton fields, the peo-
pie of the South were wont to spend the
Summer season principally at the North; but
now that their pockets are somewhat bare of
cash, we hope they will contine their excur-
sions to the many mineral springs and places
in this land of beauty. Travelling expenses
alone are no small items to take into consid-
Grafton; and we think it is better that our
people should spend their money among our
institutions than to cram i. down the pock
cts of strangers. Let us patronize the springs
and sea-shores of the Soath this season.
None are more attractive or beneficial to
health than the Macon House, at Morehead
City, kept by Messrs. Pepper & O'Connor.
We have just returned from trip to the
seaside, and we put up at the Macon House,
and can truthfully say that we never saw
House better kept and "a table better sup
piled than the Macon House.
On the first of July, Messrs. Pepper and
O'Connor gave an opening ball, and it was
our good fortune to be present, and we were
never at ball better conducted or attended
than this Nor can the public find better
kept table that our well known friend Pep
per sat on that night.
We cannot pass over our trip to Morehead
without calling public attention to the
splendid sailing, and recommend the "Sunny
South" Sunny Side" and Messenger,n
three splendid boats under the command of
Messrs. William Bell and Daniel Bell, who
thoroughly understand their business, and
which adds greatly to the enjoyment at
Morehead.
As to the Ball, we can say but little, as,
being married man, we did not dance, but
enjoyed eurself in other ways. Fhe Bmf
room was crowded, and among the dancers
we noticed Mrs. S. and daughter and Mrs.
w. from Raleigh, Miss s., of Wilmington,
and good many from Newbern; Mrs. B.,
Miss B., and Miss D., being the only ones
we recognized.
The supper was pronounced by every one |
splendid affair. We did not go in, owing
to being very sleepy and therefore we went
to bed We advise all to go down to |
Morehead, and not take our word for it
sec for yourselves We cannot allow this
notice of our trip to pass without |
our thanks to Capt's. Rich
ardson and Powell. of the A. & N. C.
R. r., two of the most polite and accommo-
dating conductors in the State. We need
not mention Capt's. Wait and Ligon, of the
N. c. r. R., they are too well known by the
travelling public of this section to mention
their good qualities.
We intended giving some other notes of
our trip, but space will not admit of it
to-day.

GooD NEWS FROM THE WEsT.-A gentle
man telegraphed us from Lexington on the
9Th, as follows:
'We had fine meeting at Lexington YES
terday. Crowd immense President Smith
made Il great speech. Davidson Is all right
for Scott and the ticket by one thousand
MIR. Phillips spoke at Concord and, they say,
with great effect. That county is all right
We learn from Concord that the speech
of Mr.. Phillips was listened to with profound
attention by large audience; and that at
Ashboro, hundreds were enthused with his
glowing statements Of Republican princi-
piles. As Mr.. Phillips moves West the star
of empire takes its way. He will sweep
round the circle hitherwarois on IA mighty

the West. Good fortune comes in showers,

1t being in season, perhaps the following
would be acceptable to some of our cab
bage raisers.
SALT FOR CABBAGE.-A New Jersey far
mer considers salt necessary to the develop
ment of cabbage, especially in places far
from the coast. He finds them more crisp,
of better favor, and to keep better when
salt is used than without He used it as
follows:
few days after setting out the plants,
and when they are damp, either after a rain
or when the dew is on, l take small dish
of fine salt and walking among the rows,
sprinkling little patch of salt on the centre
of each plant when the leaves begin TO grow.
l repeat the sailing, and when the centre of
the leaves begin to form the head l apply
salt again, scattering it over the leaves :;
after this | look them occasionally, and if l
find plants that do not head well and appear
diseased, l sprinkle the salt over freely this
will save all such plants A quart of salt is
sufficient for five hundred plants in season,
although more can be used with safety.

NEWSPAPER EDIToRs-morc especially
those who conduct leading morning jour
nals-devote nine-tenths of their office hours
to seeing and being seen. Were journalists
not proverl5ally and naturally gifted with
large supply of g the milk of human kind
ness" their profession would be unenviable
The editor of the Red River Ne,cs says:
"This office possesses rara auis in the
shape of weekly visitor, who quietly walks
in, looks at the cases. galleys, cuts, press,
and pictures on the walls, closely scrutinizes
the editor at his scrlbbling and clipping,
and, without saying word, walks out
again."
We commend this visitor as model for
all those whose time and talent could be
put to better advantage than interviewing
an editor, stealing valuable papers, scissors,
pencils. &c.
