Cholera Disinfeetants.

e DIR. James, of the Sanitary Bureau
Q OF New York, has published letter OF
!, the subject of cholera disinfectants.
He says /:
3 ''It is now generally, if not .lniver
4 sally admitted, that the germs of chol
, era poison exist in the objections from
1 persons having what is known as spre
4 monitory diarrh9a, an ailment so milo
5 lis not to excite the alarm of the pa
| tient. This disinfectant which [ hav.
, directed for present use is the old mix
; ture which has proved SO reliable OF
5 previous occasions, viz 10 pound.
} sulphate of iron, gallons of water, anC
one half pint common carbolic acid
No True Bill.
: There was mention made two weeks
ago, in this paper, of tie charges
against d. T. Carr for forgery and
false prctences, and p. D. Brown for
mail robbery. MIR. Brown came out
OF the matter on the preliminary ex-
animation before Justice Cassidey,
while the evidence in Mr.. Cars case
was SO conflicting that the Magistrate
thought proper to return it to Court.
1t now appears that the evidence be-
fore the Grand Jury was not consid-
cred sufficient to make case, so there
was no bill found, and both these gen.
tlemen came out clear of the charges,
with characters unblemished, and
there ends the great case of forgery
and mail robbery, that created so
much excitement among the good citi-
zens of this section 1t is to be hoped
that such things may not again get
into such a shape as this did, especially
with parties who stand as high as do
Messrs. Carr and Brown.
! The Railroad Meeting at Izuthcr-
fOrdtOn.
The Asheville Pioneer. says At a
! Railroad meeting held at rutherford
ton on Monday, the 23rl inst, letters
were read from Colonel Fremont, of the
Central North Carolina Railroad Com-
pany. A communication from Fl. T.
Farmer, Esq, of Flat Rock, urging O
united effort in crossing the mountain.
was also read. The Importance of the
most perfect direct route through from
Chicago on the Lakes to Charleston
and points near it, say from Whining
ton to Savannah on the ocean, was
considered by the meeting Commit
| tees were appointed to correspond with
| Colonel Fremont and others also to
meet the Ashevillc, Spartanbrrg and
| Greenvillc people at Hendersonville,
on the 4th OF July. Sub committees
for the county were also appointed-a
very important thing for the work to
be accomplished. The increasing ne
cessity for railroad facilities for this
region of the country is arousing the
serious attention of all the people.
Wilmington and Cincinnati.
The people of the South Atlantic
States are beginning to reap the bene-
fits of closer and more direct communi-
cation with the West, and the agri-
culturalists of that section already re-
alize the advantages of more intimate
commercial relations with the South.
We have heretofore referred to the
fact of naval stores being shipped di-
rect to Cincinnati over The Chesapeake
and Ohio Railroad from this city. The
tide has begun to set this way. Yes
terday eleven car loads of bacon for
Savannah, Augusta and Macon, passed
through our city direct from Cincin-
natl. This bacon was put upon the
cars at Huntington, one hundred miles
above Cincinnati, on the Ohio river,
and did not break bulk until it reached
Wilmington.
This is but the beginning of great
and tiourlshing trade, and only shows
what can be done when we have still
more direct line to the Great West.
The fact that a considerable reciprocal
trade has sprung up between this city
and the West, reflects great credit
upon the enterprise and intelligence
Of our railroad officials who have
charge OF these matters. We look for
ward with interest to its further devel-
Opment.
The Publisher of the Magnolia
Mraitor complains because the JOURNAL
referred to certain publications made
in the Magnolia papers rs ''accounts of
what purported to be interviews had
by certain parties with the Rev. Dr.
Gloss, the Presiding Elder of this
District"
1t is sufficient to say to the Publisher
Of the 4NonitOr that in thus describing
the publications referred to the
JOJESAT. had no purpose to make any
reflection on his integrity as q jour
naist," Il fact that we had supposed to
b. plain to everybody. But even if
the PublisherJof the jIOnitor could not
appreciate SO plain a fact, he could at
least have asked, and would have re-
ridiculous bluster.
The Journal endeavors to be cau-
tinus about the authority upon which
it admits to its columns matter reflect
ing injuriOlsly upon private or upon
public character. The publications
referred to contained reflections upon
certain gentlemen of high character
and Well known in this city long before
Warren was ever heard of here it did
not appear over the signature OF the
Presiding Elder, but was given to the
public as a reporters understanding OF
what the Presiding Elder said.
When the Publisher of the NOuitOl
shall have gained more experience, he
will not need, as he does now, to be
reminded that the impression made
upon the mind of an interviewer may
be quite different from the impression
the party interviewed sought to make,
and that, too, without any reflection
upon the good faith OF either party.
Indeed, there is nothing more difficult
than for one who is not a professional
stenographer to give an accurate report
of the views of another.
The JOURNAL had 40 right to give
the sanction of the Presiding Elders
name to such grave reflections upon
anyperson, without some assurance from
the Presiding Elder himself that he
had not beer misapprehended by the
interviewer as to the charges lie desired
to make; especially would it have been
improper to do SO when the parties
We're reputable members of the COM
munity and of his own ecclesiastical
charge. The correctness Of the rule
excluding "hearsay testimony" has
been too long admitted to require any
argument to enforce its propriety at
this late day.
Nor was there anything in the rela-
tions between the Presiding Elder and
the JOURNAL to make us apprehend
that he would not inform us of the
fact, if he desired the statements made
i'll the Magnolia papers to be published
i'll Wilmington or elsewhere with the
sanction of his name to their correct
ness. We should regret to think
otherwise, for few men have in
spired us with greater respect
