which this capital Is SO Justly famous.

ynfteen and sixteen thousand. Usually 1t Ia from
three to ave thousand. The increase on Sunday was
partly owing to the fact that the price OF admission

STRUGGLE WITH A MAD DoG.-The st..
Louis Democrat says: .'s. ..
"On Wednesday last rabid dog ap-
pcarcd on Lesperance street, and, after
biting several other dogs and a cow, made
several attempts to bite the pedestrians on
the street. Louis Strumberg, one of the
dog-catchcrs, hearing of it, and knowing
the street to be full of children, several of
whom would probably have been bitten
but for him, took his wire moose and pur-
sued the animal. Coming up with him he
succeeded in getting the loop over his head,
and q desperate struggle ensued. "".
"The dog "a large hound) at once en-.
deavorcd to fasten his foaming jaws upon
Strumberg, who, for time, with difficulty
held him Oft with the wire. The moose,
however, finally broke before the other dog
catchers could come up with and assist him,
caught his hand in his mouth and tore it in
Il shocking manner. He then ran down the
street with the foam dropping from his jaws,
and getting into the rank weeds growing
upon the flats near the river, was lost to
sight. He was found after five hours
hunt, and shot by one of the other men.
sThe wounds on Strumberg's hands were
at once cauterized, but the hand began to
inflame, and on Saturday he exhibited I'M
mistakeable signs of hydrophobia.
ellis friends, learning that DR.. Schmidt,
of Carondolet, was said to be possessed of u
mad stone, had him. taken there, when the
stone was applied TO the wounds. The stone
certainly drew from them i greenish fluid
said to be poison, but whether the mans
life can be saved by it remains to be seen.
At last accounts he was rapidly growing
worse. Strumberg deliberately periled his
own life to save the lives of others, and in a
manner that few would have attempted"

War SpeculationS.

Those who confidently predict the success
of either France or Prussia in the grand
battle which must soon take place MAY learn
something from the experience of FREDE-
RICK the Great, as given In the appendix to
his History Of the Seven Years War which
he SO successfully waged against three great
Powers. The New York Journal Of CON-
mrcc says:
"Frederick the Great philosophers con-
corning war and peace, his good and i'll for
tune, depicts the fearful condition of his
country after the war was over, stiglnatlZeS
war as the greatest misfortune that can be-
fal humanity, and comes to the conclusion
that while, indeed, q bad general seldom has
success, yet no general should ever boast OF
having triumphed by his talent or the supe-
rior gallantry of his troops. 'There is a
God of War; eXclaimS Frederick; the is
sue of battles is written in the stars. ] have
won battles that had already given up for
lost, and have been beaten where victory
was already nearly in my grasp Then the
great king, among many other examples,
tells how he Won at Leuthen, because a
Licutenant-G General Won PrittwitZ, with
four guns, reached small eminence few
minutes earlier than an Austrian battery
that was hurrying up for the possession OF
the same height, while ut Kunersdorf he
was defeated, owing to the carelessness of a
subaltern officer who allowed his company
TO be broken through or flanked."

North Carolina.

The elections take place in North Caro-
lima on Thursday of next week. Between
now and then we shall doubtless have many
kilograms from that State which will be
well calculated to warm up our blood and
cause us to denounce the infamous HoL-
DEN. AS bad, however, as HOLDEN is, he
will not do anything worse than we have
recently seen done in Virginia. He has as
much right to arrest Conservatives as Con-
grcss had to arrest PAT WOODS, or General
CANBY had to take charge of the station
houses, gas-works, &C., of this city. HoL-
DENIS outrages are exactly Of this character.
To show that HOLDEN has an understanding
with General GRANT, the Raleigh Standard,
edited by HoLDEN's son, makes the follow
ing startling announcement in capital let
tiers: "We are pleased to be able to say
"again that the President-the glorious
"preseryer Of this nation-endorses what
the Governor has done, and will practi-
"caly aid in the suppression of this new
land most dangerous treason"
We have strong hopes that the death
knell of Radicalism in North Carolina will
he sounded next week. The Conservatives
are confident of electing Il majority Of the
members of the General Assembly.

There are many towns in the United
States in part or wholly lit by gas obtained
directly from subterranean sources; but
Erie, Penn, is favored with so large q sup
ply that it is now used to obtain heat for
mechanical and manufacturing purposes.
All that is necessary is to bore down and
sink tube four or five hundred feet, and q
permanent flow of gas comes, rushing up
through it. One well thus sunk eight years
ago has produced ever since without inter-
mission !; the flow seeming rather to increase
than diminish. A brass foundery and !, a
soap works have also been using as fuel the
gas from another well for a long period.
The most recent well sunk supplies grist-
mill with abundant fuel to run four stones 3
the proprietors say they can run six with it
night and day equivalent to more than
500 worth of coal per month";. All it costs est
them is the original expense of the well and
tube. about 81 800. Erie may nevertheless
be poor place to start q gas company
there would be no satisfaction in cutting of
the supply of non-paying customer, when
he could at any time supply himself by
sinking q tube in his garden. ....., a.. +

STAMP DEcIsIoN.-Mr. Bastress, cashier
of the First National Bank of York, Pa,
recently wrote to the Treasury Department
inuuiring as to the stamps requisite on COM
mercial notes. We annex the reply of the
DEPUTY Commissioner. 1t seems to us that it
is a forced decision, somewhat akin to that
which ruled fYe-cent agreeilieht stamp
necessary on judgment notes to cover the
clause authorizing judgment to be entered
for the amount Of the note. But the ruling
of the Commissioner is binding until re-
yersed, and all parties using commercial
promissory notes will do well to use an adj
ditional five-cent stamp to cover the with

The Lynchburg Press, a Radical paper,
takes the same ground the State Journal
does as to Chinese immigration. 1t adheres,
in word, to the Republican creed, which
teaches that Chinese is as good as "any
other man." The negroes will all, as so
many did the other day in Norfolk, vote
against any man who either is or is sup
posed to be in favor of allowing yellow men
to come hither. to underworld him and make
him pauper, whilst the whites will agree
with them upon this question. The Radi-
calls will be compelled to change front on
this subject, or else they will never elect
another congressman or mayor in Virginia.

From the Raleigh Sentinel.
Brock Holden. ESQ.

This gentleman, brother to the Governor.
and citizen of Caswell county, is now in
this city for the purpose of procuring WritS
of habeas corpus for Judge Kerr and some
nineteen citizens of Caswell, who are shut
up during this hot weather in Kinks mill
tary prison.
Mr.. Holden says that among the prisoners
arrested in Caswell are many grey-headed
Christian gentlemen, noted for their integ-
rity and moral virtues.
MIR. Brock Holden is brother-in-law oil
Mir. Frank Wiley, who was SO brutally
treated by Kinks men. He says, and he got
the information from negroes who witnessed
the fact, that Mr.. Wiley was in his field
when Kinks men called him to the fence
They told him they came to arrest him.. lie
being an old sheriff, and knowing the Law,
asked for their authority. They replied
that they had no written authority. He
then told them he refused to be arrested
without warrant. One of Kinks mer
then asked him if he was armed, and on hiS
replying that he had no arms except nj
pocket-llnife, he was Immediately lenea to
the ground with afence-ral.
Mr.. Wiley, was then, as has already peen
stated, put upon his horse bareback, his
arms tied behind him and legs tied under
the horses belly, and in this condition he was
carried ten miles to Yanceyville: HIS head
feet, and face, were greatly swollen; his fee
SO much 30 that next Gay he could not gel
on his socks. -
While the counsel for Kinks prisoners
were arguing the case, one of the prisoner!
(Boyd) appeared in the Governors room anc
wrote his own bond, giving bail in the sun
of $50, 600 to appear before Holden's frient
(Kirk) upon five days notice being given
Governor Braggi in his argument announced
this fact to The Chief Justice, who wa
crestfalen, and threw his eyes upon the
| floor. -,
What o mockery of justice and law
Bail to Kirk! oh, Pearson Pearson VIII.
don't you let the law instead OF Kirk take

AS soon as Mr.. Boyd's campaign is over
we hope he will surrender to Kirk ana g.
back to prison. We hope no other pr!
soner will give bail to Kirk or Holden unit
