Upon our third page this morning
will be found an interesting letter from
Colonel Wheeler, upon matters of in
terest connected with the history of
North Carolina. Il will repay care
ful perusal.


We publish Colonel Wheeler's letter
with great pleasure not, however, be-
cause We think there is need of any
thing to give strength and support to
the faith of North Carolinians in the
genniness of the Mecklenburg Declar-
ton of the Goth May, 1875, but because
the letter is very interesting and in
structive one, and because we desire
to avail ourselves of an opportunity to
show every courtesy in our power to
gentleman who lras devoted almost the
whole of long life time to praise
worthy efforts, to inscribe in it's right
ful place of honor upon the roll of
American States, the name of North
Carolina, and to put upon imperisha-
ble record the noble deeds of her sons.

The eloquent poet and patriot, Fath-
er Ryan, in a late issue of his paper,
the NeW orleans stu, and Catholic
Messenger, protests against the pro-
posed "unification" movement in the
following earnest manner. He says:


As editor-in- chief of this journal,
which, in its humble sphere, endeavors
to represent and advocate the temporal
interests of our Southern people and
the spiritual interests of our Catholic
church, we enter our protest, at once
and forever, with all our energy of
conviction, strength of will, and power r
of word, against the resolutions adopt
ed at the unification meeting held
week before last in New Orleans.


Our protest is personal. We have
no right to speak in the name of any
one beyond ourself. 1t would be an
act savoring of cowardice on our part
did we for any reason remain silent.
1t would be a dereliction of duty to-
ward our readers, from many of whom
we have already received letters asking
for an expression of our opinion.


But had we been asked by no one,
we would have, none the less, said our
word upon subject so grave.


The meeting, the new movement
Year: 1873

The Raleigh ISt7tinel acknowledges
humor that the JOURNAL is disposed
to be magnanimous in this, the hour
of its triumph. It must be confessed,
too, that the JOURNAL is strengthened
in It's virtuous resolution by the recol-
lection of its own fallibility. as dis
played in its error of week, in fixing
the date of an event that occurred
more than one hundred years ago.
Yes, we, too, are fallible. We said the
affair with the sloop Diligence occur
red in 1865, when, in in fact, it occur
red on Or about the 9th January, 1866.
We rather think we were a trife toe
greedy. Had we done justice to the
teachings of our venerable legal pre-
ceptor, we would have acted upon the
old maxim, dC Haini1?is non c,natIer.


The Sentinel does the JOURNAL in
justice in saying that we did not quote
the scant praise it gave to Wheeler's
works. We quoted the very words of
the Sentinel that there was informa-
ton in his volume that could not be
obtained elsewhere, &c" And we did
50 with malice aforethought, for the
purpose, among others, of cutting off
any escape for the Sentinel upon the
plea that it were better to have no
history at all than to have Wheeler's.


Testing aside, we would regret that
the Sentinel had seen proper to recall
Judge Pearson's old vulgarism about
",the Democratic stud book" did
we not feel satisfied that the statement
that the vulgarism was one of Pear:
sons, would be sufficient antidote to
any poison it might contain.


The e.Sentinelintimatest that we ''cram-
med little for the occasion" and asks
us to say sub 1O sa if it is not so, and
further to say "upon honor what we
think of Wheeler's work. Upon this
point distinguished friend, who hap
pens to he in our Office just now, and
who by the way, is much pleased with
the tone of the .SentineFs reply to the
Journal, says he thinks it is highlyre
freshing to hear one newspaper calling
upon another newspaper to make {
statement upon honor. He enjoys the
naivete of the request hugely, and sc
do we.


The Sentinel spoke very truly wher
it said some days ago that North Caro-
linians "as a class knew less of theil
States history than was known by an,
Year: 1873

other people in the world of their own


history. We make no pretensions to


being wise above our fellows but this


much we did know, that the particu-


lars of the acts of resistance in the


matter of the sloop Diligence We're
given in Jones' Defence of North Car
olina and in Mr.. Davis excellent ad-
dress at Chapel Hill, which, by the
way, we had the pleasure of hearing
but for an obvious reason we preferred
to refer our contemporary to Wheeler
for information when it called upon
us to go to it's relief. 1t is a sad
thing to be without a library, espe-
G ally in the matter of events and dates.


And now we shall be unhappy until
the Sentinel has gotten it's satisfaction
It's announcement that it intends to
lay in wait for us will keep us con-
stantly in fear and trembling-well,i if
the worst comes to the worst, we shall
try to "cram for the occasion" once
more and with the cry of "Wheeler to
the rescue" will endeavor to be equal
to the emergency-at least until our
shall cease to write 'hur-
riedly" and shall move that library
from Oxford to Raleigh.

Why WILL YE DIE, On YE OF LIT

article is from the Davenport Democrat of
December 10, 1872, and is powerful re-
minder to the afflicted


The most insidious, deadly and distress
ing malady attacking the human frame, is
pale consunption,' stealing into the maid
ems bosom. flushing her cheek, blanching
her skin, and feeding like living worm Of
death upon her vitals. A lover may
fnndlv gaze into her eyes, the brilliant
sparkling is but forerunner of dissolG-
ton. A mother may listen to her mid
night breathing, it is but mutfied drum
beating her death knell A father may
fondly try to save her, but too frequently
his efforts are in vain, her bridal bed Is the
burial case her bridegroom, death, the
silent consumer of her lungs is at work,
and physicians have no remedy, the phar-
macopCeia no drug which can keep her from
her destiny Sad as this view is, there Is,
happily, bright side. Providence has
garnered up in the storehouses OF vegeta-
ton, a sovereign balm in the juices Of
plants to arrest the fell destroyer, to heal
the eating ulcer, to renovate the failing
lung, to bring health, strength and yigor
to the wasted frame. The keen eye of
science has searched for it, the chemist S
skill has seized upon it, the retort and
alembic have extracted it, and the remedy
is produced which will stay the progress Of

The Washington correspondent OF the
Boston Post has the following in regard
to the proposed third nomination Of
Grant


1t appears that the movement of the Of
flee holders to secure the denomination ot
Gen. Grant for third term has already
commenced. 1t is stated that the prelim-
inarles were arranged ut Long Branch
several days ago, and it is NOT denied that
the President IS cognizant of it, Those
having the matter in charge seem to count
largely upon the divisions supposed to
exist in the ranks of the opposition, and
upon their ability to rally the moneyeCi
interests of the country to the support OF
their scheme. Under the head of mon
eyed interests they include the National
Banks, the railroad corporations and the
large capitalists. These they aleoe are
for Grant, because under his administra-
ton it is not likely that any Legislation
will be enacted hostile TO these instifu-
tions. Another argument used is thlt
there ls no man IN the Republican party
who has developed greater popular
strength than Grant, and it is hardly

There are more evil results from the
visitation OF cholera in Memphis than the
daily bulletin of deaths, full as that is, in
dcates. For seven weeks trade has been
wholly suspended there, according to the
statements OF New York World cores
pondent, and Memphis has lost millions
in her business interests The scourge
has evidently been invited in that city by
the meagre health arrangements. A Board
Of Health, or a body corresponding to it,
has been of only very recent organiza-
ton, and now while one exists in name,
it has no money. and its practical value is
therefore very little. A potters-ield has
been provided, and it has become a very
charnel-bed of death. The corpses have
been buried very hurriedly, and when
business is lively three or four are thrown
into one grave The rain storms have
washed away the light earth coverings,
at times, and the grinning corpses have
come to the surface to undergo decom-
position as soon rs the warm sun came
out again. The drainage of this place
has been added to the stream that supplies
the 10000 people of Memphis with water.

away among a heap of corpses by mis-
take. He had been stupefied by some

take was corrected before he was under
