MAMMOTH REMAINS. in 1872, aparty
of Americans left San Francisco to endeavor
to reach Wrangle rand in the Arctic Sea.
They landed near the mouth of a large
river running from the northwest, and
about eighty miles inland observed many
indications OF mammoth remains. On
clearing away the snow from one of the
spots, the whole Of well preserved ami
NAL Of this genus was exposed to view.
The head was beset with long thick white
hair, and the tusks, eleven feet eight inches
in length, were curved backwards towards
the eyes. The animal was in kneeling
position, and the hinder part of the body
being deeply buried in the snow, and in
such an attitude rs it would take if it had
died while endeavoring to extricate itself
from the bog. In its stomach was found
bark and grass. These remains were dis
tributed for miles over the plain, and were
so abundant that it appeared as if numer-
Gus herd persisted there. The place swarms
with polar bears, which live upon the
bodies Geoloa, ReichsdnstdH, Vienna.

S,EEADy THERE, MEN,

Postmaster General Creswel has
grown ferocious, not to say dangerous.
Tie American mails henceforth have
some rights that even railroad officials
must respect or disregard at their
peril. The American Female is no
longer solely unapproachable, but
must nenceforth share with the Post
master Generals bags a sanctity that
is inviolable except on pain of death.
The following extract from the
Washington City correspondence Of a
leading Administration newspaper will
explain what we mean:
WAsHENGToN, September 15.-Post-
master General Creswell was at his
desk to-day. He intends to take
prompt action i'll compelling the rail
road companies to get the mails here
from the North more regularly than
they have done for weeks past He
says that if the managers of the air
line between here and New York insist
upon placing the postal cars in the
middle of the trains he will instruct
the postal clerks to carry revolvers,
and shoot down any man, whether in
the employ of the railroad company or
not, who attempts to pass through the

WHAT A FALL!

The Fredericksburg Herald states
that a farm on the Mattaponi river was
recently knocked down at Sc so per
acre which was sold before the war at
$50. Is this real estate ? Or have the
reconstruction measures of the Repub-
Iican party destroyed the nature of
land and made it unreal-as feeting
and fanciful in value as any of the bub-
bles that have been invented
We take the above from one of our
exchanges but it accords 50 much with
our own experience that we find no
difficulty in believing the statement of
of our Fredericksburg cotemporary.
The rice lands of the Cape Fear
would readily sell, before the war,
for one hundred dollars per
acre, now they will not command a
tenth part of that sum. Then there
were no sellers at any price, now there
are no buyers at any price. And yet
these lands are as capable of produc-
ton to-day as they were before the
war. Butwe forget, The difference
one of the blessings of Reconstruc
tion.

Correspondence of the Raleigh News.
The Old North state Forever.

An examination of the records will
show, that on the 10Th of April, 1776,
the Provincial Congress of North Car
olina empowered their delegates in
Congress to concur with the delegates
OF the other Colonies in declaring indie
pendence and forming foreign alll-
ances." This is the first movement by
any of the Colonies looking to ''Inde-
penIence and foreign alliances, and
the moral force of it can hardly be
over-estimated. Virginia followed
North Carolina at an interval of more
than a month, and but for the action
of North Carolina, through her Pro
vincial Congress, that of the Old Do
minion might have been much longer
DELAYED. 1t was on the 10Th of May,
1776. that Virginia. through her Con
ventior, instructed her delegates IN
Congress ''to propose to that body to
declare the United Colonies free and
independent States, absOlved from all
allegiance to. or dependence on, the
Grown or Parliament of Great Britain.
4 comparison of the dates, which |
have given. will show the action OF
North Carolina, looking to national
Declaration of Independence by the
Continental Congress, preceded that
of Virginia by one month and three
days And if the action of the Con
vention of Virginia went further, and
instructed her delegates to propose
Independence, it was probably, because
they had positive assurance tlas the
delegates from the Province of North
Carolina would concur with the dele
gates" from the Province of Virginia
in the "propersition, from which a
general concurrence might be expected.
I have not written this for the pur-
pose of eliciting controversy, but for
the purpose of recalling an limp impertant S1a.a
fact i'll the history of ny native State,
which seems to have been well nigh
forgotten by those who have paid any
attention to her history, and never to
haye been known by many thou sands
| of her citizens. It is certainly a fact
no less important than those attempted
| to be established by the controversy
already referred to, and should be as
yividly known. NERITAs.

The Executive Committee of the dis
satisfied taxpayers of the eight COM
planning townships in this county, have
held protracted sessions in this city
during the present week. The result
is not merely deliberate determina-
ton to wage n war of justice and of
law, but to carry it into Africa in the
full meaning of that expression. Com
petent and able counsel have been
employed to prosecute vigorously
and promptly the cause of the
oppressed taxpayers against the
decisions of the Board of
County Commissioners. Proper meas
ures will be used the coming
week to stay proceedings in the way of
excess in assessments, and to prevent
the collection by the Sheriff of exor-
bitant taxes tliereupon. So that, in
addition to the public meetings of
protest and indignation already held,
the more practical ends of stay of
legal collection of taxes at present
are now sought, under the advice OF
distinguished attorneys in this city.
Mr.. w. n. Larkins, of Ellington,
in this county, will receive all moneys
ready to be paid over for carrying on
this war of the people against the
Board of County Commissioners.
Let a sufficient fund be raised at once
to meet the necessary expense fol
counsel fees.
