WhM Is Up
The Baltimore Sun of recent date contained the
ell. al.

The Baltimore Sun of recent date contained the
following article:
zone of the oldest merchants in New Orleans
says the population of that city has fallen off in
two years thirty thousand, and there are no less
than six thousand houses and stores at present
unoccupied. Fifteen years ago New Orleans was
at the acme of its wealth, prosperity and COM
mercial importance, second only to New York
and Boston. It's river and ocean tonnage in port,
loading and discharging, was seldom less than
one hundred and fifty thousand tons, and in the
busiest season of the year double that amount
New Orleans has been ruined by carpet-baggers,
despots and corrupt politicians"
The explanation is supposed to exist in the last
two, lines, viz; "New Orleans has been ruined
by carpet-baggers, despots and corrupt politi-
Clans" ThseSis not quite true. The ruin had
its origin in New Orleans, or her people, with
others down South, rebelling against the Govern
ment, which brought on war, in which carpet
baggers, and others who supported the Union
came out victorious. This being the case, un-
avoidably, some INSCRIPTIONS adventures got
the ascendency. Had the war of secession not
complaint. The thing, like young chickens,
"comes home to roost." Prosperity could still
be realized.
The Baltimore Gazette day or two afterward
printed the following wall:
at is certainly unreasonable to skin live eel
and expect it to be still under the process. Such
an operation once astonished the great DR.. John
son. His biographer, Boswell, says:
81 have not written down any thing to-day ex-
cept single curious fact which, having the sane
ton of his inhexible veracity, may be received as
striking instance of human insensibilty and in
consideration. AS he was passing by fshmon-
ger, whe was skinning an eel alive, he heard him
"curse it because it would not lie STILL"
"But this unreasonable fishmonger is far out
done by the Radicals of the present day. They
have held the Southern States in subjugation to
sheer arbitrary power. They have inflicted on
the Southern whites the unspeakable degradation
Ut subsection to the blacks. Negroes sit in the
Southern Legislatures, elected by the bayonet not
the ballot, and make laws for the oppression Of
the whites. The emancipated slaves are hosted
to an unnatural predominance over the people of
the South. Yet, at every sign of restiveness of
the white race under negro rule the Radical pol
iticians 'fall to cursing like very drab," and
invoke new penalties and illuminate fresh threats
against their victims. Surely, this beats the fish
monger."
Had the delegation from South Carolina and
committee from the same State, one going to
Richmond prior to secession urging Virginia to
secede, the other to work, proposing a disso-
luton of the Union and division of Government
property, remained at home counselling peace, re-
specting Fort Sumter and the American flag,
there would have been no necessity for SHINING

EDGECoMBE PROSPECTS. We invite the
attention OF our readers to the tonUwilIg
extract from q letter TO the Roanoke
News"
A few days ago, your correspondent
passed over portion OF Edgecombe, the
banner cotton county in our State. Farm
ers were every where busy trying to make
up the time lost by the backward spring
and the recent excessively wet weather. |
passed the large farms of General Estes,
Dr. J. J. Garrett, Mr.. Mark S. Battle and
others, but those l especially noticed show
ing as they did evidence of thrift, energy
and intelligent industry. Clover grasses
in luxuriant beauty and thought of lus-
cious fruit as | looked upon the assorted
pear, peach and apple trees on those beau
tiful farms-Mr. Battles cosy, neat little
cottage, and pleasant surroundings indi-
Gates taste and refinement and looks as if
pleasures must crowd around him In his
quiet g cottage home.
From what have seen believe as much
cotton as usual will be planted, though its
getting late to plant now, and the crop
can't be so good Edgecombe county has
some of the best farms and farmers in the
State, and hands work much better than
| they do in our section, which accounts in
some degree for their better crops and
brighter financial prospects. AS a general
| thing the people have more money and pay
! their debts better than our people at least,
| hope they do, and hear SO.

MessrS Wade, Boykin & Co.,
Baltimore, Maryland:
GENTs.-I used three or four bottles of
your oliver Corrector" last summer for my
trouble, DYSPEPSIA,and got more relief
from it than from any medicine that l have
ever taken. So great was my suffering l was
not able to do anything, was taken with
numbness and giddiness, when l would rise
up suddenly or when l rode on horseback, or
i'll other words, was in 4 manner dead for
twelve months, and got no relief from any
medicine until | found your Liver Correc-
tor. My health is now steadily and rapidly
improving. Yours gratefully.

sician at the White Sulphur Springs. whose
opportunity for testing its merit is extensive,
says: "Dr. Wade's Liver Corrector and Dys-
pepsia Cure is one OF the very best remedies

DRs. JONES & JORDAN. prominent medical
men in Meclenburg Co., Va, who have sold
and prescribed it for two years, say: "they
can find no better remedy for the purpose
intended, than the Liver Corrector."
Col. GooDE, a prominent and unusually
intelligent gentleman in the same county OF
Va, says: "he keeps it regularly in his fam
lily and would not be without it.

clear soft, and velvety, and being illami-

CoRRECT-The Petersburg papers tell us
that every body in the "Cockade City " is
getting INTO good humor again, and only
one purpose animates them, viz: to thrash
the Radical aspirants for Office who have
taken Champaign as a last resort 1t is
predicted that on the 2Sth there will be no
Champaign, or sham pain either, for the
Republicans We wish the citizens of East
Carolina, especially those in Tarboro, had it
in their power to thrash the RAIDS in NUM-

Press CoNvENT1oN.--E. r. Stamps, Esq,
Editor of this paper, is absent this week
attending the Press Convention which met
in Raleigh on the 18th inst. We can bare
ly refrain from envying him the pleasure
of greeting his friends and fellow crafts
men, and the enjoyment of the festivities
in which the editorial corps of the State
are now participating, in hospitable Raj
eigh. His absence will of course account
for the short conings of this issue.

CURE FOR DRrSKEsSEss. The following

CURE FOR DRUNKENNESS. The following
is said to be a cure for drunkenness and
the love for strong drink @#z#a ?
Sulphate of iron, five grains; PEPPERMINT
water, eleven trachns; spirits Of nutmeg,
one drachm. Twice day. This prepar-
alton acts as a tonic and stinulant, and 50
partially supplies the place of the accus-
toned liquor, and prevents that absolute
physical and moral prostration that follows
a sudden breaking off from the use of
stimulating drinks. 1t is to be taken in
quantities equal to an ordinary dram, and
as often as the desire for dram returns.

that he consulted Judge NJ. the other day
about the possibility of electing Dick Tuck

the selection of such an individual by the
County Convention for the honorable posi-
ton of Senator. Our correspondent states
Furthermore that the Judge replied 1T

the practice is discontinued forthwith.

Pic NIcs.-The advent of May is cele-
brated, in compliance with time -honored
custom, with picnics by the various schools
of our town. There have been several this
month, and it was the pleasure of our sp| cial
reporter to attend one given by the pupils
of the Tarboro' Public School (Which by
the way is prospering finely under the su-
pervisiop of Mrs. J. G. Charles, assisted by
Miss Maggie Palamountain) on Friday
last 4 large number of citizens repaired
at an early hour to the school grove, and
enjoyed throughout the day the pleasures
of the occasion, particularly the dinner.
The weather was as fine as we ever saw
in May, but the graceful maidens in picnic
costumes, accompanied by their attentive
cavaliers, rivaled the day of its loveliness.
Such occasions dispel the monotony of vii
lage life and make us wish the speedy re-
turn of May and its picnics. They are
pleasant particularly to the man accustom-
Ell to commercial pursuits. He can lay
aside the cares Of business and spend even
a day with children SO innocent in their
amusements and so unacquainted with the
worlds selfishness.
After the merry festivities of the day
were over (Which was late in the evening"
all thanked Mrs. Charles and hoped she
| would treat them in similar manner next
May day.

Hoe STEALING.-It seems that the ex-
ample which Judge Moore made Of Austin
Dozier's case has not as yet, had its full eff
feet. NJ. J. Battle, Esq, Of this county
has lost several hogs of late, and Sunday
morning on going to his lot, he found
fine shoat missing, and also discovered a
large club lying near and quantity Of
blood on the ground. The thief was track
ed for some distance, but after searching
all suspicious houses, the pursuit proved
fruitless and was abandoned. It is high
time that the perpetrators of such outrages
should be summarily dealt with, and we
trust the thief will be detected in due time
for next Court.

TEMPERANCE LEcrURE.-The Charlotte
Democrat of the 11th, inst, says:
Maj Robert Bingham of Mebaneville,
delivered Lecture in this city on Friday
evening last, on the subject of Temper
ance. Maj. Bingham is no fanatic, but
a clear-leaded scholar and gentleman.
His Lecture was argumentative and practi-
cal, appealing to the judgement and COM
mon St lse of his hearers. 1t was, indeed,
interesting and instructive. His main ar
gument was that the Anglo-SaXon man
cannot stand strong drink like other races
of men in other lands, such as French and
Germans 1t explodes the brain of the
former, while it scarcely stimulates the
hram of the latter
We fully indor5e the above, and suggest
that our Temperance societies invite the
Majo to deliver at his earliest convenience
the lecture in Tarboro We are satisfied
it would prove interesting and instruc-
tive to our citizens.

RADICAL CONVENTIONAL Radical Con-

the 2nd Judicial District. As predicted in
our last issue, billiard, of Pitt, was chosen
for Judge and Martin rc-nominated for
Solicitor. Their election is almost a Ger
tainty, but it is q doubtful question wheth-
er Hilliard will he allowed to qualify as
the matter will have to be referred ultimate
ly to the Supreme Court for its opinion
of the clause in the cons stitution bear
ing upon the subject. From the action of
the Convention, it seems that the radicals
manifect a disposition to shelve Judge
Moore. The wherefore has not yet been
made public. He is, in the opinion OF
many, the ablest man in their party in this
district-at any rate decidedly IIilliard's
superior in point of legal ability.

BRIBERT.-Prior to the meeting of the
late judicial convention, the Republicans
of this county called q convention, and of
ticially instructed its delegates TO support
Hilliard. 1t is currently reported on the
streets-and automatically too-that before
leaving for II illiamston, bribes of one hun
dred dollars were rendered each delegate in
behalf of Judge Moore, the present incum-
bent, and it is believed, furthermore, that
he was the sole instigator of the movement.
We hope this rumour is incorrect, though
there seems no rational grounds upon which
to do SO, as it is corroborated by authority
which, in our opinion, is incontestable 1t
will be with pain and modification if we
are forced to believe that Judge Moore
would so deDase himself and sully the er-
mine which he has ably Worn, by commit
ting an act which savors of the quintes-
sence Of corruption However, if he is in
nocent of the charge, he can deny it, and
we will gladly publish such denial
