To Gen. Gordon whose name is II house

waves, and he felt proud to see Canada so
fully represented in such an expedition as
this. He stated that Gen. WOlseley, who
had previously been among our boatmen,
when on the Red river expedition, knew
what sterling qualities our men possessed
and it was partly through this that they
had so earnestly been asked to accompany
the expedition.

MORE FACTORIES FOR RALEIGH
Considering that an inland State like
North Carolina must be judged largely
by the growth and prosperity of her
capital cities, our readers everywhere
will learn with pleasure chat there are
signs of manufacturing life here. &C well
as elsewhere.
Last week a Cotton Seed Oil Mill,
with fertilizer aud phosphate adjuncts,
IA organized in the city, with the
strong firms of julius Lewis & Co.,
Williamson 4 Upchurch, W. III. Holle-
man, Ashley Horne, and one or two
others as stockholders. A large brick
building is ready; and the machinery
will be ready for the seed by Sept. LIST.
The proprieiors will have a large amount
of seed from their own farms, tNt it is
hoped the enterprise will grow until it
makes a market for the entire central
section of the State.
On Monday the foundations of a large
ice factory were begun near the r. & G..
r. r., on The Boylan land. A wealthy
Northern firm, ia connection with Mr..
r. j. Harris, will erect 2 $50, 900 freezer.
capable of furnishing 20 tons of ice per
day. This will be a boon 10 ether
towns than Raleigh. as the ice can be
shipped by carload to any part of TIE
State. And no matter ls2w hot the
campaign becomes every canf data can

Charlotte OJserrer argues that as
it will be necessary to beat York in his
own territory, and on an Anti-Revenue
platform, Gen. Scales ought to be nomi-
mated.
The article on the outside page by
Capt. Thos. III. Sutton, Of Fayetteville,
was intended for the Philadelphia Tunes,
but sent instead to the Farmer and Ne
chan,c because Of its m-orenumerous read
ers among our best people. The story will
be completed mex week. The woman
who so shamefully assisted the invaders
Of the South, and helped to bring ruin
upon the people who had beirlended
her, and hers,-was recently IN Phlladel-
phia. waving a flag on the platform OF a
political meeting, and plumiDg herself on
her deed Of treachery.
Gen. Vance is endeayorlng to get a
| pension for Clinton A. Ciliey, a Yankee
| officer who married a Miss Harper IN
Caldwell county daughter Of Col. }. e.
Harper, we believe, and was appointed a
Judge under Republican rule. Cilley
says in his petition that his horse was
shot, and fell on him at Chicamauga,
and though he felt no effects from 1t at
the time (2O years ago) he has recently
suffered with rheumatic or sclatic trou-
bles; and he badly needs the Pension.
Very likely he will get it, and very sure
ly he will deserve it more than ten
Thousands of those who year after
year secure Pensions: still we cannot
he!p thinking about some Of our poor
boys who have been up to see US lately
armies, legless, sightlesS, moneyless-
and without Pension or even thanks!
Lucky Yanks!
The fact that Raleigh people, and
our newspapers, have invariably, and
| for years. not only favored, but urged,
the completion of the Fayetteville
Greensboro r. r., should be set down
to the score of disinterested patriotism.
Because. as wac manifest to every enc,
the completion of that link would nee
e~ssarily draw off a portion OF Ralelgh's
trade in Chatham. Moore, and adjacent
counties while it would also deprive
US of some of the passenger traffic OF
the South-C Central section of the State.
Experience is rapidly proving the cor
rectness of these expectations. Last
week parties of Randolph county busl-
ness men were in Fayetteville and
parties of Chatham county people were
in Greensboro; while nearly all the
Fayetteville travelling public, who for
merly went North, via Raleigh. now go
via Greensboro as is daily shown by
the hotel registers in the latter city. Ii
is a small matter but in these days OF
prevalent prejudice against Raleigh. 1t

in her favor.

TRUE To HIS CONvICTIoNs.-Now that
the Coalition Convention has passed, we
may hope that those who have been de-
luded into doubling tie Democracy of
Hon. Daniel G. Fowle will admit their
misconception and give him his due
credit for uncommon devotion to rrinci-
pie.
Knowing the offers, direct and indirect,
which were made to him to take the head
of the combined Liberal Anti Prohibi-
tion-Republican Party, and feeling as
We do. that had he taken the Governor
ship he would have changed the pc
litical campaign of the State for years
to come, and likely cost US a Senator,
it certainly, seems a rare case of party
fealty, -superior ever to his selfde
NAL in 1880, when in the very hour Of
defeat, uEd,.r circumstances which en-
Uttered the feelings of thousands of true
Democrats, he took the stand to urge
hearty support of the nominees, and
afterwards rode night and day to canvas
for the same. Such things ought not TO
be lightly forgotten.

AND so WE GOETHE ancient poets
classed JOY aud Sorrow as twin sisters :
the one swiftly revolving around the
other, as Day alternates with Night Our
exchanges last week were full OF illustra-
tons of the mutability of human happi-
hess. Two instances were reported by
the Charlotte Obsveer. FIRST; the
death of Mrs. Addie Avery Hemphill, at
the residence Of her sister, Mrs. Jos.
Scales, near Cascade, Va. Mrs. Hemp
hill was widely known in social circles,
admired both for her wit and her beauty.
She was a daughter Of Mrs. Col. W. VI.
Avery of Moreanton, and her marriage
less than six mouths ago TO Mr.. Hemp
hill, the youngest Congressman from the
South, was deemed a rare union In sew
eral respects. She took cold while jour
neying from Washington; and thus
passes away many bright exI ectations OF
happiness.
Second. In Charlotte for several
years one of the gay larks' OF business
circles was Merry Mack Smith, or
Happy Mac Smith as he widely adyer-
tised himself. He was an artist by pro-
f~ession, and loved 10 sketch humorous
scenes to draw attention to his glow
ing advertisements. He helped to or
ganize a Brass Band, which is called after
his name, and he usually attended the
County Fairs to paw ivory, as he term
ed his organ music. Recently he has been
in trouble; and one day last week he
went to an old clubhouse, crawled into an
organ box, and blew out his brains. A
bottle of liquor was found in his pocket.
Happy Mack killing himself in a dark
box, as quaint a suggestion as some
Of his own pictorial caricatures.
ThtnI.-When the long procession,
headed by the Mack Smith Band, reach
ed the depot in Charlotte with the body OF
one suicide, they found the locomotive
! spattered with the blood of another. An
unknown white man had thrown himself
on the track iu front Of the train and was
crushed to death. The scene of the
affair was one mile and a quarter north
of Salisbury. Engineer Morley was
driving alcng at about thirty miles an
hour, when he saw at some distance
ahead, a man standing on the side OF the
track. As the train neared the spot, the
man suddenly ran down to the track and
laid his head down as if placing his ear
on the rail to hear the thunder of the APP
preaching cars, and just as the engine
had reached to within about ten yards,
he flung himself directly across the track
and was under the engine wheels in a
~twinkling.
No one could identify the man, who
was evidently a stranger and a tramp,
though he had a remarkably intelligent
looking face, was we'll dressed. He had
clear blue eyes, a high forehead and
straight prominent nose.

and the "scent of the rose still hangs
round the hail. Col. Mott showed a
good deal of generalship, and so far as
vas visible to the naked eye he was
heartily seconded by Ike Young, not
