DESTRUCTION IN DISGUISE. is a
fact that mixtures of bad liquors and
acid astringents are often given for
medicines. They are potent to dcstroyt
and may be safely warranted to ruin,
morally and physically, and human
being that sticks to them long enough.
More drunkards have been made by
these yillainous connections, labeled
medicines, than 10y the liquors of com
merce. Alcoholic poisons, advertised
as remedies, are more miscellaneous than
tavern drains. For intermittent and re-

diseases which these fiery frauds are
falsely certified to relieve, DIR. WALKERS
VINEGAR BIITERs, the ne Plus ultra OF

But this is not all; the great Temper

the depraved appetite for stimulants,
created by the false tonics and bogus
restoratiUes of Missionaries Of Intem-

course of VINEGAR BrrrERs invariably
obliterates the desire for spirituous ex-

No place in the State exhibits great
err or s11rer evidences of Improvement
than Goldsboro. The character, as
well as the number of new buildings,
speak of the substantial growth of that
town. No one can visit the place
without having this fact forcibly I'M
pressed upon his mind. The popula-
ton of the surrounding country must
be industrious and the soil must be
fertile which sustains trade render
ing necessary or possible such splen-
did buildings. Several private resi-
dences, newly erected and still incom-
plete, show degree of prosperity
which is truly gratifying.
Among the other improvements is
the Humphrey House, one of the finest
buildings in the State. Recently
opened by Doctor S. P. Wright, its
management reflects credit upon the
thriving town of which it is at once
the ornament and the necessity. A
town of such enterprise needs just
such a hotel. Doctor Wright deserves
success.

ARK NSAS..AN CIVIL
WAR IMMINENT.

Affairs i'll Arkansas seem to be IN the
muddle that usually follows President
Grants intermeddling in State cleo
tons.
One Powell Clayton, a carpet-bagger,
formerly Governor and now United
States Senator, whose example was
recommended to Holden, at the begin
ming of the Kirk war, by John Pool, as
worthy of imitation i'll North Carolina,
has ruled Arkansas for some years.
Some time ago Republican District
Attorney induced a Republican Grand
Jury to indict Clayton for being con-
cerned i'll fragrant election frauds. As
WAS to have been expected, President
Grant removed the jealous Attorney
from his Office.
At the late Gubernatorial election
the Radical ticket with Mr.. Baxter at
its head, was counted II; by the Clay
ton officials and the Conservatives ac-
quiesced therein rather than provoke
a conflict. Governor Baxter, however,
did not prove plant enough 10 s1lit
Clayton's wishes indeed, it is said,
that he has united with the respectable
whites and the most intelligent Of the
negroes. i'll making war upon the bal
lot-box suffers and notorious thieves
who have brought Arkansas to her
present unfortunate condition Of
course, under these circumstances, it
office. Accordingly, the legality of
his election was contested by writ of
quo aCalroatO, directing him to show
by what authority he performed the
duties of Governor. An injunction
prohibiting him from performing these
duties was to be issued, the Lieutenant
Governor, loyal Clayton man, was to
take his place pending the trial and
thus the Clayton men were to have full
swing. A singular circumstance is
that the Lieutenant Governor and Gov
ernor Baxter were elected on the same
ticket.
Governor Baxter, however, does not
propose to submit tamely to be ousted
by what he alleges to be an act Of fla
grant usurpation, and has re-organized
the State forces declaring his intention
to retain his Office by force of arms.
He has taken possession of the State
Arsenal and intends to keep it, and the
people of the State are arming to take
part ip the conflict. If actual hostil-
tiles begin Clayton will, doubtless, call
on the President for Federal troops
and will get them.
The question is now before the SD
preme Court Of Arkansas. It is easy

SALVATION FOR TEE SOUTH.
What may be Accomplished by I'm.
teiligcnt White Labor.

In November last Mai. G. w. An
derson, of Savannah, settled a party of
French immigrants on the Lebanon
plantation, on the Ogeechee river
The colony now numbers twenty-six
men, women and children, and the
changes wrought by their labors are
almost magical.
What was a wilderness a few years
ago is now series of well titled fields,
blooming and blossoming under the
influence Of the genial spring weather
On every side may be seen the unmis-
taxable signs of the thorough agricul-
turai comparison to the half way
method of the negro. The fields of
corn, cotton and oats are titled with
almost the same care which the horti-
culturist hestows upon his beds, while
he fences, roadways, etc, are neat
and tidy.
Major Anderson has sold a number
Of farm lots to his proteges, and they
have established village between the
road and the homesteads, which, with
true French spirit, they propose to
call LEsperance or Hope. 1t is an APP
prOpriate name to bestow upon the IL
little colony in a strange land We
are told that thew are most indus
trious and capable people, and the men
work with the characteristic vim and
earnestness of the Gallo race The
women seem to be accomplished
housewives, and with the means at
their hand maintain orderly and COM
Portable households, besides assisting
their husbands to a great extent in the
farm work.
Major Anderson has in every sense
found them peculiarly honest, or
derby and contented people, laboring
constantly. but preserving a personal
dignity of bearing which commands
respect and encouragement In another
year they will effect a complete meta
lnorphosis at Lebanon, ard more than
double the value of their Investments,
by constant attention and judicious
cultivation, besides largely enhancing
the value OF the surrounding property.
It is understood that number of
their friends are expected at some frl-
tute day. \ few homes have been
erected by those who arrived in No
vember, and others are now in pro-
cess of erection. These buildings APP
pear to be comfortable and convenient,
quite excelling the ordinary home of

BY the arrival of the schooner Nile
at New London, Conn. from her cruise
TO the South Shetland Islands, situated
in the Antartic regions, where she has
been engaged in the capture of seals
for the English market, the following
facts relating how five of the crew of
the vessel franklin passed the winter on
one of these ice-bound isles, and how
only one of them survives to tell the
story of their terrible sufferings, have
been obtained. The name of the sur

In the year 1871 the schooner Frank

southwark of Cape Horn, in latituCe

THE VIENNA SCANDAL.

There is no question that the coun
try has been disgraced in the eyes of
the world, by somebody in connection
with the great Vienna Exposition
That much is certain. Somebody has
been guilty of corruption, but who
that g somebody" is, seems now mixed
with a good deal of doubt.
At first, acting hastily perhaps, the
public was disposed to blame General
FanBuren without reserve, his removal
from office seeming, in some sort, to
make out 2)rinea facie case of guilt.
The tide seems to have turned some
what of late however. General Van
Buren, has spoken out plainly, strongly,
Indignantly and to the point. He as
serts that he is the victim of q con-
spiracy gotten up by Mr.. Jay, the
American Minister at Vienna, and that
one cause of the opposition to him
grows out of the fact that he does not
dress to suit Mr.. Jay, especially that
ae does not wear "white oyercoat !"
The Secretary of State, himself
even, does not entirely escape censure.
There are those who think Mr.. Fish
has been guilty of negligence if moth
drg worse. We know not how that
may be.
As we remarked before, however,
there is no doubt of the fact that some
body has disgraced the country. We
sincerely trust that the Commission
now sitting in Vienna to investigate
the matter, will act fairly and honestly
IN the premises, and tell the truth,
the whole truth, and nothing but the
truth.
In this connection, however, we have
II single concluding remark to make,
to-wit that as Secretary Fish and
Minister Jay had the appointment of
the members of the Commission, to
anake the investigation, it is not pro-
5able that either Mr.. Fish or Mr.. jay
win be found guilty Of negligence or
corruption. We rather think General
lfanBuren has gone MP.

Hates coffee, and then she ordered the
whole band away. While going and
coming from the creek John told Col.
York that his sister Kate could do any
thing, that she could control the devil,
and that the devil did her bidding
When they returned to the house Col.
York tried to induce this wonderful
mistress CT the devil to reveal where
the body of his brother was. She pos
itively and persistently refused her sa-
tanic aid at this time, giving as her
reason therefor that she could not do

were SO many men and SO much noise

AN INVITATION.
The pretended sorceress and real
fiend then told Col. York privately that
if he would come the next night,
Friday-when best she worked her
spells-and bring only one man with
him, she would take him to the grave
of his murdered brother. Had the
Colonel been so foolish as to believe
the mysterious power of this creature,
there is no doubt she would have
proved her promises good. The
whole band then left the house.
They visited the houses of Roach
and Smith and Harnass, at Ladore,
and made many threats and accom-
plished nothing. Their intent was
good, but they lacked an experienced
detective for leader. So strong was
their conviction, however, of the guilt
of the Roaches and the Benders that
they would have hung them then if it
had not been for the persues on of Col.
York and few others, who were de-
termined that none but the known
guilty should suffer. OF course this
visit alarmed the Benders, and
they fed.
THE MURDEROUS GANG.
No doubt is entertained that the Ben
ders have not been alone in their dam
nabie villainy. They must have had
confederates to dispose of the stock
and clothes of the murdered men, and
suspicion has readily pointed to num-
, Der of men, living throughout that
section, in different directions. Twelve
persons in all have been arrested on
suspicion.
