A ROYAL Romance.

The Prince of Schleswig Holstcin has pc
titioned the King of PRUSSIA to reduce him
to the rank of Count, and take from him
the title. privileges and the restrictions of
princely rank. There is woman in the
case, and the story eliminates il this pleas
ant little bit of personal gossip. The Prince
has only recently returned from India, where
he has been several years engaged in scien-
tific researches Savan-like, his first thought
on reaching home was of his library, which
he found in a very dusty, musty, junilcd up
and neglected condition. He went to
work to bring order out of this literary
chaos, but soon found that he must, have
help, but who was worthy to touch his be-
loved l,ooksa In his perplexity he applied

in this demure young person such fund of

Railroads and Education.

Mr.. EDITOR The Republican party is
gaining many friends in this section, be-
cause it is generally understood that it is
the party of Progress, of Education and of
Railroads. 1t is the opinion here that the
Chatham Railroad would never have con-
nccted US with Raleigh, but for Republican
legislation and Republican appropriations.
1t is believed here that the cause of educa-
ton would suffer and decline with the fall
of the Republican party. 1t is understood
here that the Homestead law, which is i'm
mensely popular, will be repealed if the Re-
publican party is defeated, therefore every
man considers it to his individual interest
as well as duty he owes to his family tc
vote the straight Republican ticket

to the winds the opposition slander and
charges of bribery and corruption against
the Republicans as a party. He condemned
many of the acts of the last legislature, nut
proved that the obnoxious acts were the

in the mire, and that the guilty actors should
be punished as men, not as partisans. He

for about two hours. The irrepressible john
is so well known in this community that it
: is unnecessary for us to make any extended
remarks relative to his address. During the
whole time he held his audience spell bound
with constant train of ideas, arguments
and logical deductions. He. defended the
Republican party from the attacks Of the
imposition, and sent his shot and shell, grape

Letter from Hill.boro.


Mr.. EDrToR:-Int that dirty little rebel
kuklux sheet. published in Ralciglr By one
dirty, drunken, blackguard, Jbc Turner, and
called the Sentinel notice in letter to
his Excellency, Goy Holden, dated Hills
boro. July 25, a paragraph concerning the
State troops stationed at this place. and br-
ing one of that number, hope you win per-
NIT me through your valuable paper to re-
ply to the cowardly attack. Josiah says:
Last Friday many of the men you sent,
with the Captain and Lieuteuant, were
drunk on our streets The Captain and
Lieutenant were so drunk as to call in horse
power to get them to camp. They cursed
me among the negroes as you speak of me
to your friend Hawk Rogers and others, as
King of the Kuklux. Your drunken SOL
diers cursed Mrs. Turner as Queen uf tho
Kuklux, and keeper of their books"
The facts in the case are these: Last Fri
day the Captain and Lieutenant, had occa-
sion to pass through the village of Hills
baro, and it being very warm and not either
of7them being very well, they concluded <kN

they were met by several gentlemon e tbe
door who proposed to- have little CONVEX
sation with them, and they returned, and in
that conversation one of Joe Turner's friends
remarked, that ifsGov. Holdeniwould arrest
Joe Turner. the Kuklux would be played
out. Another one said, that Mrs. Turner
had the list of all the Kuklux in Orange
County whereupon soldier standing by
remarked that Joe Turner and Mrs. Turner,
must be the King end Queen of the Kuklux.
Then the Captain and Lieutenant started to
camp in public hack, for which they paid
one dollar in greenbacks, of money earned
by diligently watching and protecting good
citizens from outrages and depredations
being committed upon them, by such men
as Joe Turner commands. -
Oh Josiah, when will you cease making
such little, mean. cowardly attacks upon
your superiors2 Will it bcafter you receive
a few more chastisements, such as Col
Moore gave you on Fayetteville Street2 Ii
so hope you may soon make another at

OUR MANUFACT URHNG INTERESTS.
Tho manufacturers Of tho North have asked for
and obtained the assistance of tho National Gov
crnment until they have become q burden to the
people at large, and the tax paid by the United
States for tho support oftheso manufacturers is
equal to all tho other taxes put together. Let
our manufacturers make goods of botter quality,
and at lowor prices, than othor manufacturers
and they can defy competition without Govern
mont help. This, at least is the plan of Mr.. P. p

RAIN.

The work of the farm and plantation

continued, and almost every day rains
The GRASS, in some places, as a result,
has serious hold upon the crop. We
have heard of cotton being plowed up,
aud the land put in corn, ID the hope
lessness of tho prospect Of successful
cultivation of the former. The crop,
generally, does not promise we'll now
and should the remainder Of tic season
prove unfavorablo, the aggregate product
OF the staple in this section, will not
equal tho crop Of last year, notwith-
standing the area Of land in cultivation
is larger.
The corn crop is promising, but gen.
eral apprehension prevails of drought
in July, which would prove disastrous,
following the present wet season.
