Terrible hGOIing Aff.ir,

On last Monday, Que OF the bloOdiess
tradeeles ever IT corded Ill this section
was acted III Stokes county, near Mar
tins lime kiln. Mr.. Dick. Martin and
his two sons, Fuel and Tom, in compa-
ny with Mr. Ben Smith, were return
ing from house raising. Enel Mar
tin had his hand resting confdingly on
Smith S shoulder, not an angry word
had been spoken, when Smith secretly
drew his pistol and placed it near Mar
tins temple and deliberately fired
Without a groan, Martin fell to
Til ground and died IN a few
hours afterwards, only speaking two
words. smith the, turned andfired at
Tom Martin, who was eight or ten feet
off, the ball passing disgonally through
his bowels, lbh,ctIng painful and it Is
feared a aral wound. As rom fell hc
cried 10 his father to run for life and as
the old man made off Smith followed
hIiJ fer at least a qua ter Of d mile
and shot at him two or three times,
but fortunately neither shot took effect.
Smith delibel ateIy returned to where
his first victim was lying and remarked
that if his first shot had not killed him
he had three more balls to dispose of.
When asked by his brother what he had
against the Martins, he replied tlat he
had killed two of them aud if he could
kill four more men he would be sails
fed. An old family fued, which was
thought to have been amicably settled,
is the only reason that can be assigned
for this wretched affair. Smith has
not yet been arrested. At least fifty
men are securing the woods in every
dire ction for him. We fear he will b.
lynched if he is captured. It is always
best to let the law take its course

and most imperious necessity OF the
times-the commanding issue now be-
fore the people of the Union" Not a
word is said about hard money. The
platform has only one plank, and that
plank is, constitutional rule, frugal ex-
penditure and administrati putty.
This is the platform for which the
Southern Democratic press have
fought for months, and upon it the
National Democracy, with candidate
who is truly the embodiment OF the
platform, may we'll hope to win.
So we see that the New York Demo-
Gratis have met those of Indiana half
yay, and shaken hands over past dif-
ferences. Both have retired the cur
rency issue and put forward others
that the party of the whole country
can unite on. Ex-Governor Seymour,
the most popular and influential Dem
ocrat in New York, gave 1T as his opin-
ion that the subject of reform will be
the point upon which the canvass will
turn, and that the discussion will not
be narrowed down to the currency
question.

Explanations from Col. Forney

P0mer0y's Democrat recently pub
lished story that Booth and Captail
BeaIl, who was tried and hanged at one
of the Forts in New York harbor
were fast friends new Damon and
Ply thias, in fact, sworn to each o her
that Booth being at Washington when
I Beall WAS condemn ii to death. AID
!. hearing Of the enteuce the night be-
! fore be was to be exc cuted, went to
tue rooms of the Hon. John p Hale.
then of the Senate, at late hour, and
having reused him from his sleep,
stated his purpose to see the President
and save his friend that very night;
that upon consultation they repaired
to the house of John W. Forney and
got him TO go with them t. the Presl-
dent. Thi: resolution they carried
into execution, going TO the " hite
House long after midnigLt; hat Mr..
Lincoln received them, and heard
Il "'th's appeal for mercy for his dear
friend; that ia making this appeal he
confessed the conspiracy between him
self and others at Mrs. Surrat's house
to abduct the President. &c, and on
hi Bonded knees, and FRUSTRATED be
fore the President, weeping like u
child. besought pardon for Bea;l; that
at last, about o'clock in the morning,
pity Won" the President bidding
him to get up like a man, and, while
weeping himself, solemnIy promised
the desired pardon after which Booth
Hale and Foruey left the President
still in tears.
Next morning, the story goes, when
Mr. Lincoln stated his promise to par
don Beau TO Secretary Seward that
gentleman demonstrated against it.,
and satisfied him that he ought not to
keep his promise to Booth, and that he
aid not.
For this, says the story, Booth killed
the President.
Col. Forney says: 1.-The whole story,
so far as I am concerned, is an utter
fabrication. To my knowledge [ never
saw J.. Wilkes Booth in my life. The
only time [ evec visited Mr.. Lincoln
to secure a pardon was in company
with my old friend, Washington Nc
Ian, of the Cincinnati Enquirer
some time, [ think, III February, 1866,
to ask the release of another old
friend, Gen. Roger 4. Pryor, who waa
prisoner IN Fort Lafayette, New
York harbor. Mr.. Lincoln heard our
statement and set General Pryor free
on the quaint condition that he should
report at my residence, on Capitol
Hill, where he remained my welcome
guest for several weeks, until [ was
authorized to return him to his friends
and family in Virginia. 1t is altogether
probable that [ signed letter to MIR.
Lincoln asking the pardon of the eel
ebrated Captain Beall. recommended
every southern man to mercy, charged
with whatever crime, at the close of
the war. It is one of the sweetest Of
my recollections that never turned
away such petitioner from my door.
and never refused to go TO the prisons
where southern men were confined to
solicit deliverance. AS to Mr.. Pome-
roy's general statement itself, so far as
it relates to the other parties and our
martyred Presideng, L wish to add
that If Mr.. Lincoln had made such a
promise he would have fulfilled it at
all haz ards, and that Mr.. Seward, with
his gentle and generous bearing to the
South, would have been the last to ask
him TO break his word.

Until the di ,covery of the California
mines in 1S49 all the gold dug IN the
United States came from North CaIo-

portaDce all the other mineral deposits
is the iron of North Carolina. In thir-
ty counties of the State iron IS
found III workable Quantities. and
10 most of these the deposit
is of remarkable purity. The Red
Hemitti ore, SO famed in Mis-
souri,, is abundant here, as are also the
Limonite and the Magnetic. the form

Twelve counties propuce copper, aud
before the war the copper mines OF

profitable of the kind i'll the United
States Besides these there are large
deposits of graphite manganese and

in paying quantities, and only reQulr'
