The number of cattle, 6lS, at Cambridge, this
morning, nearly 100 less than last Tuesday, and
the cooler weather seems TO have invigorated the
buyers somewhat, and perhaps on good cattle the
market is rather better for the sellers, but on
their animals there is no improvement. We saw
young cattle offered by j. Clark for &c, while
on the other extreme z. T. Brady sold for Z. Z.

when Just right, pastures kept in good order, and
judicious management and feeding from calf

of Mr.. Fields grass fed cattle. A very few pairs
of other Northern cattle brought a fraction over

J. b. Gordon sold at l2c. to he. per pounu; j.

There are less than {, 600 sheep and lambs at

having been unsatisfactory the past two weeks.
But from the small number and n IRE favorable

the demand and prices some half cent per

Death of Judge Gillian.

The telegraph of Tuesday night, as pub
lished yesterday, brought to US the sad
intelligence of the death of Hon. ROBERT
B. GILLIAN, which took place at his resi-
dence in Oxford, on last Monday evening,
the 18th inst, at o'clock. He had been
suffering for several weeks. and short
time previous to his death was thought to
be rapidly recovering. The sad event is
therefore the more startling.
Judge GILLIAN was man that we could
iIl-spare at this crisis, when every friend
of law and order is needed to man our
ship of State. He was a man universally
beloved wherever he was known and seri-
Gus as is the loss to the public, it yet falls
more heavily upon those with whom his
private life was passed. He represented
the people of Granville, at various times,
in the General Assembly and in s tate Con-
ventions, filed for many years the office
of Superior Court Judge and at the time
of his death was member elect to Con-
gress from the Fourth District.
His age was about 66 ard he died full of
years and honors.

PARsoN on THE RAMPAGE.
received from Lumberton yesterday by
passengers on the Wilmington, Charlotte
& Rutherford Railroad train is to the effect
that Mr.. W. s. McDiarmid, editor of the
Robesonian. has been arrested by Fighting
Parson and J. P. Sinclair for contempt of
Court. We could learn no particulars. except
that the charges are based on an article pub
ished in the Robesonida of last Thursday
This Sinclair is as fine specimen of the
genus Scalawag as could be found in mil:
lion of the NANCY tribe. He was a Rad
ical Representative from Robson in the
last Legislature, and, while such, covered
himself with Radical glory and dirt. He
has been singularly fortunate in alternating
entirely from himself the better portion of
his own party, while the Conservatives in
Wilmington, as well as those in Lumber
ton, look upon him as of SO black polit-
ical complexion that charcoal would make
q white mark on his face.

Major o. r. Kenan was chosen Chair
man, and J. D. Switzerland Secretary.
After few brief, but appropriate and
touching remarks from the Chairman in
reference to the object Of the meeting,
Col. VIM. A. Allen moved that Commit
tee of three be appointed to draft resolu-
tons expressive of the sentiments and
feelings of the citizens, under the sad be-
reavement which had spread gloom over
our whole community /; when Col. VIM. A.
Allen, Isaac B. Kelley and DR.. B. F. Cobb
were selected to prepare the same. These
gentlemen having retired for this purpose,
on their return Col. Allen submitted the
following resolutions. viz
ResoEued. That this community has heard with
pain and deep regret, Of the death of the great
American Soldier and Patriot, General Robert
Edmund Lee, whose prudence and skill as a
commander in the field, stand unrivaled in the
annals OF the world. whose disinterested patriot
ism commands the admiration of every lover of
his country, and whose pure and christian quail
ties as gentleman, have served to make him an
exemplar, not only in don sstic circles, but for
mankind everywhere, and every department of
life.
ResoLoed, That while we bow with resignation
to the decree of an All-wise Providence, we new.
ertheless mourn the death Of thisgreat and good
man as o National calamity, and hereby express
our deep and unfeigned sympathy with the

besides the simple service, in accordance
with the known wishes Of Gen. Lee.

There was sung In the chapel the 124th
hymn of the Episcopal collection and af
ter the coffin was lowered into the vault,
the congregation sang with fine effect the
grand old hymn,
" How firm foundation SO saints of the Lord"
The vault is constructed of brick, lined
with cement. The top just reaches the
floor of the library, and will be double
capped with white marble, on which is the
simple inscription,
