New PAPER IN RALEIGH.-We are
in receipt of two or three numbers of a
new paper just started in Raleigh, N. c.
The paper is called the Daily Netcs, and
is published by Messrs. Stone & Uzzell,
late of Weldon. 1t is Democratic in poll
tics and is under the control of Samuel +.
Williams, political, and Il. G. Woodson,
city editor. The Neaos starts off well, and
if it maintains the standard of excellence
as newspaper with which it enters upon
its career, it will certainly not fail to receive
a warm support in the old North State.
We wish it financial success.

SENT ON TO AMELIA,-It will be re-
membered that week or ten days since
we made brief mention of the fact that
Mr.. John T. Thraves had preferred the
charge Of horse stealing against Mr.. j. B.
Cosby, and that the latter had charged the
former with wilful perjury in swearing out
the warrant in the case. The parties are
from Amelia county, but it seems that Mr..
Cosby has been employed in this city for a
few years. The circumstances which have
given rise to the suit occurred in Amelia
county, in 1857. The case came
up before Police Justice White
this morning on continuance and an in
vestigation of the facts in the case entered
into. Mr.. Thraves was represented by
Sam Page, Esq, and Mr.. Cosby by Col.
Cosby. A large number of witnesses were
examined, and after hearing the testimony
and the remarks of the counsel, Justice
White dismissed the charge of perjury
against Mr.. Thraves, and sent Mr.. Cosby
on to the court of Amelia for indictment
and trial. Mr.. Cosby was bailed in thu
sum of $4,000 for his appearance befor,
that court on the 9th inst.

SHIPPING NEws.-The steamship SIS
aao Bell" of the Old Dominion line, on
her trip down, sighted, about twenty miles
south of Fenwick's Island, a large schooner,
flying signals of distress, union down, &c.
Captain Brakeman went to her assistance,
and the imperilled vessel proved to be the
schooner "H. B. McCauley," of Philadel-
phia, laden with sugar and molasses, bound
from Trinidad, Cuba, to Philadelphia. She
was towed by the ''Bell'' to safe anchorage
inside the Delaware breakwater.
The "Bell," !" in consequence of her neces-
sary assistance to this suffering schooner,
will be delayed on her trip back to Rich
mond, and will not reach here until high
tide tonight. She will sail, however, as
advertised, at 3 P. NJ. tomorrow friday.
Owing to the heavy wind and rough sea,
the amount of damage which the schooner
had sustained could not be fully ascertained.
Her sails and part Of the rigging were gone,
however.
The Norwegian bark "Runner," Ericsson,
master, entered at the custom-house to-day
from Liverpool with 600 tons old railroad
iron for the Tredegar works. The name OF
this vessel is somewhat Of n misnomer, un-
less it is to be understood that she is slow
runner, for she consumed seventy-five days
in the passage.
The American schooner "Dayid v
Strecker," Van Guilder, cleared for the
Savannah river, laden with grain.

CASE OF DESTITUTIoN.-Mr Brassel-
man, of jackson ward, this morning dis
covered case of extreme destitution at ~
Duval street. The premises were occupied
by a colored woman and her worthless
husband, and when Mr.. B. visited the
place the poor woman was actually burn
ing the straw from her scanty bed, and
thus endeayoring to keep herself from
freezing. Mr.. Brasselman Immediately re-
ported the case to i. NJ. Strause, of the
Relief Committee, who promptly took
steps in behalf Of the suffering woman.
We fear there are many such eases
which have not yet come to the know
ledge of the authorities, and it is painful
to contemplate the sufferings which the
late severe weather must have entailed upon
the poor Of our city. We do most sincerely
urge all humane and benevolent persons,
and especially those to whom such matters
have been entrusted, to make diligent inquiry
throughout the poorer districts, and take
such steps as will relieve the necessities of
those who from sickness or lack of en-
ployment are unable to take care of them
selves. We are told that the Council APP
preparation of $4,000 is exhausted, and il
becomes necessary to consider the proper
mode of raising additional funds to aid the
destitute. aEg

WORTHY OF PRAISE.

The professors of model piety in the old States have for years taken @ good deal of critical interest in the affairs of Arizona and other newly and sparsely settled communities. Here tofore, their acts might be summed up in one word criticism. They having no personal knowledge of what they were criticising, our disgust for them was proper and emphatic. But re- cent advices on the subject show them in better light, and 1t IS our pleasure to give the improved facts local pub~ licity.
 At late meeting of the general missionary committee of the Meth odist Episcopal Church in New York $6,OOO was appropriated for Arizona and $7,0OO for New Mexico. As that Church will undoubtedly send it's own representatives to expend the money, the prospect Is hopeful for it getting some valuable and truthful informa- hon about the wants of the country as well in Q physical as spiritual sense.
 The Episcopal organization pro- poses to have each of it's churches in New York city maintain at least enc missionary among the Indians. Now no man of enlightened views will ob- ject to this proposition. The mis- sionaries may be triAe "spooney '' at first, but little experience will operate in 0 sensjbl1 way upon them and through them upon the bodies they represent. Action of this kind will command respect, while hap hazard criticism will properly have only contempt.

GEN. HowARD,s EAsT VISIT.

We are indebted to Gen. Howard for The Washington Chronicle of November 10, which contains six col umns of what he told reporter of that paper concerning his recent visit to New Mexico and Arizona. It is mostly 8 narrative of his journey be- ginning July 10 and ending early in November. In examining the actions and utterances of public men, we al- ways prefer to find them worthy of approval, therefore we have given the report before us g. candid perusal, and it is pleasant to say that all its state ments affecting the main question are fair. The General does not promise that Cachise will keep the peace. He hopes the peace will be kept, and if we knew 8 man in Arizona worthy of notice who does not hope it will, and also be willing to act so as to promote peace, THE CITIZEN would denounce him by name as Q public enemy.
 The following paragraphs are quoted from General Howard g report as given in the Chronicle: '
 As I separated from Cacbise, ho and his people begged that l would return in person to tell them what the Great Father (the President) said He said he knew me and could believe what l told him. I told him I was like his captain who set near him - was obliged to obey orders. I wrote down promise to carry his request to the President. Then he seemed to be satisfied. He looked at me @ moment kindly, and then stepped forward and pressed me in his arms, saying ''good- by " in English.
 Monday evening we reached Tucson, where I met some opposition to what they supposed I had done-that is, that 1 had been protecting Cachise against deserved punishment, but from recent newspapers I think the majority of the citizens are resolved to give Cachise trial, thou gh they have, as Is natural, very little confidence that he will keep the peace beyond the winter months.

Salt Lake City to Prescott.

4 party Of engineers were, in Ooto- Der and November, and may be yet, at work to find 6 practicable wagon and prospective railway route from Salt LakA city to Prescott in Arizona. 4 cross road of some kind is much needed and ought to be encouraged. From the Denver Pacific and Denver and Rio Grande Railroads on the cost to the Salt Lake and San Bernardino wagon road on the west, there IS no passable highway opened from the central overland routes to those in Arizona.
 Lieutenant Geo. 1I. Wheeler, rec ognizing the necessity for @ highway between the points named via St. George, St. Thomas, and other south ern Utah and Nevada settlements, has been giving the subject some at tention. The mines of Mobave county are certain to soon call together 8 large population and create much business, and to them this new high way would be Of vas advantage. Beside the many mines elong the whole route, there are numerocs val leys of great fertility and considerable extent which are possessed of healthy and pleasant climates.

WalIapai Mines.

Like all quartz gold and silver mines, those of Wallapai have their jealous workers and advocates, and also those who doubt their richness. Private letters from one friend to an- other usually convey more trust worthy information than those pre- pared expressly for publication. We have lately received two such, and their tone is cheerful. One dated Cerbat, Nov. r, says:
 Our mines are daily improving Saw ten assays, last evening, from ore taken from a recent location, the shaft on which is sunk about twenty five feet deep. The samples assayed were obtained at different points along the lower eight feet, and averaged $500 to S9O0. Five of them averaged between $1,500 and $1,600 per ton, principally gold. I think the highest silver assay was less than $50.
 Another by another man, dated at Mineral Park, Nov. 8, says:
 Times are rather dull, but as all the mines upon which work Is being done, are looking well, we are content, and can afford to wait for the |" rush that must inevitably come.
