Tho Confederate Monument,

Cor. State Chronicle.
AS suggestions are probably in order
for the design of the Confederate monu-
ment to be erected in capitol square, I
beg leave to offer the following for the
base or body: That there be prepared
foundation of rough ashler work, and
upon it be laid ninety-six granite blocks,
each about IL inches deep and twenty
four inches long, making each of the
four sides or faces show twenty four
blocks. Each of these blocks of granite
to represent county and bear the name
thereof, with the total white voting pop
ulation in 1861, the number of men en-
listed in the Confederate service,
and the number that were kill
ed and died. These blocks will give
historical facts in brief form that will
make the monument place of interest
and study to all who visit it, and will
give each county in the State an oppor-
tunity to take part in its erection. For
l suggest that each county furnish its
own block of granite under the specf-
cations of committee for that purpose,
or pay for same under contract to be
made for the whole as the case may be
I am preparing a sketch of this plan
and will soon exhibit it at the store OF
Messrs A. Williams & Co., for the con
sideration and criticism of all interested

Raleigh, ladies and gentlemen, ought to
take an individual interest in the matter,

tion of the tremendous big time Raleigh
will have. A lot of very neat invita-

been printed and are ready for dstrlbu-
tion. These are very nice little docu-
ments for enclosing in any kind of let
ter, whether it be social letter, business
letter or love letter Every letter going
out of the city for the next six weeks
ought to contain one of these invitations,
and if all letter writers, of whatever
character, will send to H. w. Aver, ol

will supply them. Let everybody tax,

said: II regard it as absolutely certain
that the material is at hand in the state
of New York to secure its electoral vote
for the democracy. Of course this can
not be done without faithful work and
harmonious organized efforts, but the
democrats of the state are accustomed to
hard fighting, and it would be strange If
in this crisis of our struggle for our
