from Goldsboro to the Obserrer as fol
lows:-
In the months of October and Novsm.
Der AIS exodusters left here for Indians
and twenty two for Kansas. In December
ESQ purchased tickets for Indiana. and
January lst lbs took shipping for the same
point. Total 1853. On or about the Ieth
and IA of this month some 5000 or 6,On
counties. Parties from Pitt county informs
US that 5000 or TO-, 900 will leave there
about the 10 or Goth of this month.
There is an exodus agent in town to dav
from Green county for the purpose of char
tering a train to carry eNodusters from that
county. He informs me that about 1000
are ready and a c going within a week or so.
Some of the parties that are interested in
the move also inform me that a goodly
number are going from Wilson county
within a few DAYS.
4 great many that were opposed to the
move at first are now advertising it in the
strongest language. Those that went ear

their friends urging them to come on; that
wages are from Sl.0O to $3.50 per dav.

a great many are sacrificing their little prop

that nine tenths will leave the eastern part
of the State if they can raise the money to

letters and circulars to some of the colored
people, urging them to come. | have seen
letters and circulars from the State of Ohio,
Indiana, Illinois, Wisconsin and Iowa, all
inviting colored emigration to those States.
1t is thought that about :, 800 have gone
South to work in the turpentine business
with the intention to earn enough money
to carry themselves and family this fall.
Those that went via the North Carolina

Lively SCHOOL GIRLS 'OuT-WEsT.'-
We don t care a sweet-potato how fast the
darkles exodust themselves out among the
boosters, but it may be to their interest to
read the following from Wayne county, In
diana. 1t occurred at the WILLIAMSBURG
Academy:
Miss Hates was the daughter of a very
poor widow, and was very good natured.
On account OF her poverty the girls above
mentioned, daughters of wealthy parents,
were continually playing little tricks upon
her. Miss Hates being poor, the dinner
which she carried to school each day was not
of the best quality. The schoolmates threw
out insinuations which abashed Miss Hates
SO much that she would at noon each day
retire to a fence corner to eat her dinner.
About two weeks ago one of the two girls
spoken OF secretly went to Miss kates's din
ner basket, and taking a biscuit therefrom,
opened 1t and spit IN it. Miss Hates dis
covered her III the act, anu feeling that she
could bear such treatment no longer. report
ed to the teacher how her mates had used
her in the past. The two girls were expeII-
ed from school. When school was out as
Miss Hates was passing on her homeward
journey, they assaulted her, one of them
striking her In the head with a baseball
bat, and the other, after she was down.
jumping upon her and breaking four OF her
ribs. After this brutal treatment the assail-
ants went on their way. BY some means
Miss Hates got to her home, but lived only
long enough to communicate what had Ia
ken place. The parents of the girls went to
the mother of the murdered child, and of
tered her $1,000 to keep the affair from
gaining publicity"

EDIroRIAL 1SDErESpEscE.-Copying our
remarks on Personal Journalism" the
Charlotte Democrat says:
We agree with you exactly. If a man is
capable of being an Editor he should seek to
lead public opinion land lead it right and
not be lead by public opionion or a majority
opinion, right or wrong. We can truly
say that we have never been led by public
opinion, unless that public opinion agreed
with our individual views of what was right
and wrong. That the course we have rur-
sued and intend to pursue as long as publish
a newspaper. No man is fit to be an Editor
ofa public journal who is afraid to run
against or resist public majorities or pub
lie opinion" if he considers that the MAORI
ty Of public opinion is wrong.

HILLsBoRo OR DURHAM.-A number Of
prominent citizens of Hillsboro were in Raj
eigh yesterday in the interest of their town
as the terminus of the University Railroad.
A meeting of Durhamites, per contra, was
held last week. a letter from Chapel Hill
to the Ne,cs says of the stockholders meet
ing:-'It was decided to run the road to
University Station. This is not the prefer
ence of the majority Of the stockholders, but
it is not thought practicable to run it else
where. The following gentlemen were elect
ed directors: Hon. Paul c. Cameron, Col.
Thomas NJ. Holt, Hon. K. P. Battle, Julian
S. Carr, and David McCauley. AS General
Hoke held the votes of nearly half the stock,
it was quite evident that his election failed
because he did not vote for himself. Col.
L. NJ. Holt requested to be excused from
serving, w%hereupon Col. Hoke was elected
by reclamation. Mr.. Battle was elected
President, and Mr.. a. Mickle Secretary and
Treasurer, with a salary of 5000. Col. T.

HE GUBERSATORIAL RACE.-For the
past few months there has been a good deal
OF talk Of the prospective gubernatoriaI
nominations, Democratic anu Republican.
On the Democratic side JARVIS and Fowle
nave been most prominently mentioned, but
OF late days Judge Ashe, Of Arson, and
Hon. J. W. Cunningham, of Person, seem
to have sprung into prominence. On the
Republican side of the question it is con-
coded here among the knowing ones that
II Judge Reade desires to secure the nomi-
nation all he has to do is to intimate his
willingness to accept, and it is whispered
that he has almost made up his mind to
consent the wishes of his admirers in this
respect. After Reade, Judge Buxton is
thought to be the trumpcard which will
IN all probability, be played. DR.. Grissom
swears that under no circumstance will he
allow his name to 60 before the convention
as a candidate for the nomination. RAJ
