Trophies of Peace and war.

In an interesting letter to the poet
Whittier, Hon. D. McConaughy, Of Get
tysburg, relates the following incident
of the battle Of July, 1868: -
:. To the east, Of Round Top aud Of its
annular ravinet which Vincent's Brigade
SO bravely guarded, there stood a stone
farm house, where brave Weed, after
mis- ,life's blood had crimsoned the spur,
slept that night his last sleep; and near
by gushed neyer-failing spring By
it, when the battle closed that night, the
old farmer found q drum of the rRegu-
lars with shattered head, which tolG
that it had been amid the very thick
and mad fury of that mad strife, 70.
{ And now that peace is upon the land,
and with it heavens smile, that drum,
Under the homeIy skill of farmer Wei
kert, has had its shattered head replaced
with one of wood, forth from which
comes no sound, but the idrowsy hmm

with the golden honey which busy

sad Case Of Poisoning.

We regret to learn that little child,
about two years old, named Henry
Lemmerman, the son of Mr.. Il. b.
Willis, an employe of this office, acc;-
dertally poisoned himself on Friday
afternoon, from the effects of which he
died yesterday morning. The little
boy, who was bright, sturdy child,
got on chair and from that reached
up to the mantel-piece, on which was
vial containing a preparation OF
potash and arsenic, which had been
prescribed by physician for Mrs.
Willis, who is in low state of health,
for the purpose of breaking the chills
with which she was affected. The
child swallowed but small portion OF
the contents, but it was enough to
eventually cause its death. AS soon
as the fact was known a messenger
was dispatched for Mr.. Willis, who
soon arrived, accompanied by DR..
King, when the necessary remedies
were promptly applied. At first it was
thought that the effects of the poison
had been counteracted, but during the
night the little fellow got rapidly
worse, and in spite of all that could be
done for him, he died yesterday morn
ing at half-past 6 O'Clock, just fifteen
hours after he was attacked.

Accidental Drowning

We regret to learn that Capt. Gus:
Moore, of Smithville, was drowned
last Saturday morning, about 10
o'clock, opposite Big Island, nine
miles below the city. He was at the
time On board the lighter SWEEPSTAKES,
from this port for Smithville, lying at
anchor off Big Island. By some means
the boat belonging to the lighter got
adrift and when it was about fifty
yards from the vessel Capt. Moore
jumped overheard and swan after it.
He had made about one-half of the
distance when he was suddenly OBJ
served to throw up his arms and sink,
while those on board the lighter were
powerless to render him any assist
ance. It is supposed that he was sud-
denly attacked with the cramp while
in the water.
Capt. Moore was well known to
many in our city, by all of whom he
vas highly esteemed. He had for
some time past been running in charge
Of the lighter Dolly Warden, now laid
up for repairs at Smithville. He was
about rs years of age and leaves a
| young wife to mourn him. --a.sz.z.

The Raleigh News says: Apex was
the scene Tuesday afternoon, about 3
O'Clock, of bloody transaction, which
caused the most intense excitement
among the people of that part of Wake
county. The particulars as far as we
could ascertain are as follow: The per-
petrator of the horrible deed is col
ored man about 25 years of age,
named Merritt Dennis. Dennis has
been in the employ of Mr.. Simms
Mann, farmer, residing about mile
from Apex, and has heretofore borne a
good character After dinner, Dennis
! went to Lis wife, who was at work IN q
corn leId, and requested her to quit
work, and go to the house, as he
| wished pair CT pants mended. She
refuse to o.heY his request, whereupon
| a auaYrel ensued. During the quarrel
| it "a alleged thst the woman struck
him with a hoe winch she had been at
| work with. After heing struck he
! wrested the hoe from his vile and
dealt her a blow on tae forehead,
which split her skull open, causing
death ia an :hour afterwards. When
brought to Raleigh Wednesday morn
| ing the wretched creature sc emed to
| be deeply affected, and says he had no
intention of killing her. The prisoner
was lodged in the County Jail to await
the action of the Grand Jury, which
meets in this city on the fourth Mon
day of the present 2oash:

A good specimen of the sort of leg
islation the Kellogg regime turn out
IN Louisiana is found in q law passed
by the last Legislature. It postpones
the time of holding the city election in
New Orleans two years, giving the
present Governor the power of ap-
pointing the necessary officers when
the present incumbents' time has ex-
PRED. Gov. Kellogg has not signed
the bill, as he is not obliged to do 90
until the next Legislature meets, if he
does not choose to, and he has given
the Democrat majority to understand
that he will not sign it at all if they
will nominate the kind of men he
wants. The Governor has evidently
taken his ideas of Republican form
OF government from the conduct of his
superiors and supporters in Washing

The London Times, on the question

aggressive designs, but says signifi-
cantly that, as long as the mutual
game Of defiance and menace is kept
up between France and herself, she is
quite as likely as her late adversary to
strike the first blow, from pure appre-
hension lest her enemy might be be-
forehand with her. France, the Time.
