THE BIC FREE EXCURSTON.

One of the politest things in this very polite war is the free excursion which the United States is going to give the Spaniards who were polite enough to surrender or capitulate, at Santiago. The excursion will be big one, bigger than any of the fresh air fund excur- sions. In it's invitation for bids the government estimates the number of those who will go on the excursion as one thousand commissioned officers and twenty-four thousand enlisted men. Cabin accommodations are to be SUD- piled for the officers, and third-class or steerage accommodations, having suit able galley accommodations, conform ing to the United States requirements as to space and ventilation, for the en- listed men. The United States govern ment will deliver the excursionists on board at Santiago. The excursionists are to be landed at Cadiz, or such other port as may be designated and they are to be fed with food equal to the United States army garrison rations.
 Perhaps conquered soldiers never went home before in such style, and all at the expense of the conquerors. But nobody begrudges the poor devils their good luck. They will have trouble enough when they get home. We can afford to land them there in good con- some of the Spaniards new notions about ''the Yankee pigs"

It is related that in the fall of 1863, when the War department authorized the formation of negro regiments in eastern Tennessee, Shafter was com missioned colonel of one organized at Murfreesboro, although General George H. Thomas declined to recognize the formation. Within four months Shaf- ter had taught every negro under him how to read and write, and he drilled the organization until it became the show regiment at Nashville, Tennes- see. The regiment distinguished itself in battle at Nashville. After the war Shafter was transferred to the regular army and was stationed on the Mexican border. While there he gave chase to Mexican marauders, pursuing them for many miles into Mexican territory.

Some Germans may not have very high opinion of the United States sol dier, but the German officer with the army at Santiago gives it as his opinion that he never saw better fighting. He says: The Spaniards at San Juan fought well, but the Americans fought better. The shooting of the Spaniards was fairly good; that of the Americans was surprising. The men sprang to their work with tremendous vigor. It was an important lesson from which other nations may profit. I did not see much of the work of the volunteers, but I am told it was fully up to the regulars. The dash and spirit dis played by the Sixth and Sixteenth In- fantry which came under my observa- tion was marvellous. I never saw troops fighting better.

A WORD TO The WISE.

Goldsboro continues to grow
and take on city features and city
customs. Our leading merchants
hold special sales days, just as is
the prevailing custom in great
cities, and have recourse to spe-
cial advertisements to educate
the people al to the bargains
they offer at these special sales.
Goldsboro is a city of over seven
thousand inh abitants, and the
DAILY ARGUS goes into almost
every home of intelligence and
thrift in the community, the
merchant, therefore, who fails to
have recourse to its columns in
seeking to arrest public attention
and attract trade loses deal sadly
in the distribution of the peoples
patronage, which is always
guided in it's exercise of favor by
intelligent advertising.

No Longer A P0pulist.

Letter in Dunn Union.
To the People of Harnett County:
/ write you this letter to tell
you that [ am no longer a Populist.
Four years ago 1 joined the Po-
pulist party, honestly believing
that great good would come of the
formation Of new political or
ganization in the interest of res
form and pure and economical
government. I find now that to
remain in the Populist party and
vote the fusion ticket I will be Civ
ing my voice and vote in endorse
ment of the present administration
of Offices in North Carolina, which
l think no self-respectiag white
man can do. Instead of economy
and reform, fusion with the Re-
%publicans has brought extrava-
gance and corruption upon our
people, and more than that, has
brought about negro rule IN the
State, which puts all those whom
we hold dear in jeopardy every
hour. Ii justice to myself and
justice to my children and grand
children, 1 cannot afford to cast
my vote for a party or for a conn.,
bination of parties that has
brought this state of things about.
I call upon all good fellow
citizens who joined the Peoples
party as I did in good faith, to
turn their backs upon fusion and
the friends Of fusion, and help
redeem our native state from the
power of the negro, and the rule
of those who are willing that
corruption, scandal and extrava-
gance shall prevail just so that
they Can enjoy the luxury of
official life, while the people are
crushed with taxes and the rule
of the African over the AnGios
Saxon.
Our wives and daughters de-
mand protection at our hands,
and we, as true men, have no
right to refuse them that prntecs
ton which the rule of the white
man will secure to them. There
are many other former Populists
in my section of the country vino
endorse the sentiments OF this
letter, and I hope that there are
thousands of others in the State
who feel just as We do.
Very respectfully,
