' SATURDAY, APRIL 21, 1866. Stephen Girard, than whom no more shrewd business man ever lived, gives the following as his experience : ; '' " I have always considered advertising liberally and long to be the great medium of success in business, aud the prelude to wealth. And I have made it an inva riably rule, too, to advertise in the dullest times as wi ll as in the busiest, loiiy experience having taught tnc that money thus spent is well laid out ; as by liccpimj my business continually before the public; it has secured tnc many sales that I would otherwise have lost." Oit.v jtikI t s xt 1 in ss. Beginning the Work. We notice that our enterprising townsman, Mr. Lynn Adams, is lay ing the foundation for a new brick structure, on the site of his burnt store, on market square, to be used, we presume, as the former was, for a Grocery and Variety Store. "We hope to see oth ers, owning ground there, following his example at an early day, and that the " burnt square " may rise, " like fiuuix from her hashes," as a John Bull cockney would quote, and become the beauty and pride of that part of the City. Too Fond of Pork. Harrison Sweat, lrecd nian, was brought into town on Tuesday, by a retinue of attendants, who seemed to be particu larly careful of his health, and who was placed as n boarder with Sherifl Ray uutil the doctors of the Court of Pleas and Quarter Sessions shall convene and make up a prescription to suit his ease. Harrison's larder ran low in the meat line, to replenish which he committed a raid on Mr. W. J. Holleman's pig-sty, and took away one of its finest and fattest occupants. Mr. Holleman got on the track and found the dead porker in Harrison's possession, took him betore Esq. J. Q. Williams, where he owned up, and was sent by that civil functionary to thecounty hotel, as above stated. Harrison, whose euvname is Sweat, will likely find it a warm job, before it is over with. Charter Election. The citizens of Raleigh will vote on Monday ou the reception or rejection of the amendments to the City charter, passed at Him recent session of the General Assembly. The polls will be opened at the Court nouse, and the election will be held by Mayor Harrison.

BT OUR OWN SPECIAL REPORTER. Trial of Major John H. Gee. THURSDAY, Aran, 19, 18CC. Gen. James G. Martin was cross examined. On the order from Richmond for a guard for the pri son at Salisbury, there, was reported from SCO to 1000 men ; Freeman's battalion and Hoke's regi ment was there when he got there. v ltness, in answer to questions, gave his views in regard to the number of men necessary to form the regular guard at the prison. The troops at Salisbury had no other duty but that connected with theprison ; of the numbers seut there, many got sick and others went home, so there were never enough to take out fatigue parties to cut wood about 200 men per day reported to Maj. Gee for guard duty, at first a guard was sent with a party of prisoners to cut wood, but afterward the guard got the wood themselves, preferring it to guarding out prisoners for the purpose guard had no quarters while witness was there, except barns and stables. Witness stated the difficulties that lay in the way of erecting shelters for the guard or the prisoners; want of axes aud of teams and the distance of the necessary timbers from the grounds good teams were taken from the Q. M. at Salisbury and brok en down ones mt in their place there was au thority by act of Congress to impress teams under certain circumstances ; Maj. Gee had not this au thority. The prison covered land owned by the government ; never knew of any application to enlarge the enclosure beyond the space owned by the government. There was no order to give less rations to the prisoners than to the gnard, that witness knew of -the officer commanding the de partment or the staff officers of superior rank bad the command over the commissary aud quarter master of the post ; they were not subject to the control of the officer commanding the troops. Maj. Gee had absolute command only of the de tails daily furnished him by the commander of the troops, and of the officers immediately connected with the prison don't think he had auy control over the surgeons. Witness, in answer to questions, gave his opin ion on several points in connection with the pri son government, the proper action under certain contingences, not varying from what had previ ously been elicited. J. Allen Brown, sworn was telegraph operator at Salisbury in 1864, during the time the large number of prisoners were there recollects send ing telegraphic despatches to Richmond for Maj. Gee these dispatches urged the authorities not to send prisoners to Salisbury that they could not be accommodated these dispatches were sent, either to Gen. Gardner or to Maj. Andrews, don't remember , certainly they werejvery urgent, In one he said, " Fof Cod's sake do not send any more prisoners." Witness wrote some of the dis patches at the dictation of Maj. Gee.. Prisoners continued to be sent, notwithstanding these ap peals. ; - ;:-. , Major Myers also sent frequent dispatches to Richmond, asking for supplies, that he had nearly run out and needed them badly. In the cross examination, witness stated that some of the telegrams of Maj. Gee were sent before and some after the prisoners were sent there. John A. Fuqua, sworn ; was sent to Salisbury in May, 1804; was second in command of the post, was inspector. There was no change made in the prison regulations when Maj. Geo came there and took command of the prison ; the ord ers in regard to regulations were issued from Richmond, by these regulations all correspond ence between the prisoners and persons outside, was forbidden; this was the case both before and after Maj. Geo came there. Before the prisoners were sent there from Richmond, the guard consisted of Freeman's bat talion, of three companies, bnt it was soon in creased by the arrival of other regiments these were mostly senior reserves and junior reserves they were mostly indifferent soldiers, ignorant of discipline and drill, and the officers were of the same class. "Witness occupied a room at the head-quarters had kuown many persons to be permitted to visit persons in the prison and to take in provisions, through the oflicer of the day this was frequently done there was no discrimi- uation made between civil prisoners and prisoners of war. There was a man detailed to attend and sec that the rations for the prison were taken safely from the commissary store to the cook of the prison. The examination was here suspended, and the Commission adjourned to 10 o'clock to-morrow. LATEST NEWS. Another Speerh by the President. Washington, April 18. The President to-nirht addressed a dense assemblage of soldiers and sailors and others, who compli mented him with a serenade. He said that lie cared not for his slander ers, whom he characterized as the j'oul irieljs of sin. The rebellion had been put down, and did we, lie asked, shed so much blood, and make so many sacrifices lor the purpose of destroying the States? No it was to preserve the States under the Constitution and in the union of the States. He repeat ed : " We toiled not to break down the Uni on but to preserve it. In time of war, we have the right to strike and cripple, and re duce to subjection, but in time ot peace, the converse course is the right one, and we must rebuild the cities restore the villages re new agriculture and encourage all the .arts and industrial pursuits. The soldier from the private to the Commanding General knows better what should lie done than the closet politician and the humanitarian." ' Let us," he said, " make every effort to restore the relations which heretofore existed between the Federal government and all the States. There is now no enemy against the government." Denying the right of a State to secede, he now, as heretofore, took his stand both against secession and consolidation, and in tended to maintain his policy. The President was frequently interrupted by applause, which showed that the soldiers ami sailors present, heartily endorsed his remarks. Congressional Proceedings. Washington-, April 18. The Senate to day resnmed the consideration of the bill for the relief of certain naval contractors. The bill to protect military officers from the consequences of any acts performed in their official capacity, was also iliscus: ed. The House resumed the consideration of the bill to increase the regular army. Bonds Restored to the New Orleans Banks. WAsmxoTOK, April 18. The Attorney General having recommended that the bonds captured by General Sheridan, at Shreve port, which had been deposited by the New Orleans Banks with the State Auditor of Louisiana, be returned to the present State Auditor, the Secretary of the Treasury lias telegraphed Governor Wells that he will cause the bonds which may be identified as belonging to the Banks, to be delivered to the State Auditor, or to any duly authorized agent, at Washington, or w ill send the same by express to the auditor, upon receiving ad vices from the Governor, at the risk of the State. There are said to be about two mil lions of these bonds. From Washington Internal Revenue. Wasuixotox, April 17. It is expected that the committee of ways and means will this week report an amendatory internal rev enue bill, by which the taxes on many arti cles will be considerably reduced with a view to encourage manufactures, while other ar ticles will be entirely relieved. The receipts from this source of revenue have largely ex ceeded the estimates. Ji.iss Meeting of Soldiers and Sailors Eseiting Speeches. A mass meeting of soldiers and sailors took place to-night, the Assembly Rooms be ing densely crowded. The objects were to promote such measures ns will insure the equalization of bounties, just pension laws, and appointments to positions- under the government, and all other matters atlecting the rights and interests of the soldiers and sailors of the country. Gens. Garfield and Smith, of the House of Representatives, hav ing made speeches in furtherance of their object, General Schenck, also of the House, responded at length to the resolutions which had been adopted, and said from the first till now ho would not compromise with traitors. The rebels were down and he would keep them so until they gave some ev idence of repentance, and that they would unite in upholding the flag, in defence of which there had been so much sacrifice of loyal life and treasure. He characterized as miserable scoundrels those who had attemp ted to overthrow the best government on. earth. If Jefferson Davis is to be remem bered and punished as one of the leaders of the rebellion, he would not forget those who were educated at West Point, and if there was a second sour apple tree, he did not see why Robert E. Lee should not meet the same fate. These remark were greeted with deaf ening applause. Colonel McKee, of Ken tucky, a member of the House, said there should be no compromise. The test oath should never lie repealed, and the govern ment should be kept in the hands of loyal men. He did not mean by loyalty those who were not merely obedient to the consti tution and the laws, but those who fought the rebellion. Col. Stillwell, of Indiana, and other members of the House of Representa tives, addressed the meeting, the last named gentleman saying that he had no doubt that the present Congress would equalize the bounties. The following are some of the resolutions adopted by this meeting: Resolved, That we fully concur in the often- repeated declatation of the President of the L mted States that ''treason is a crime, and ought to be punished ;" and we have been waiting most patiently lor a piactical appli cation of the principle to the leaders of the rebellion. Resolved, That this meeting, composed as it is of soldiers and sailors who have strug gled against the herculean effort to subvert our institutions and destrov the Drecious jewel of civil liberty, desire to unite in bear ing icsiimonyiagainst tue horrid atrocities ot the leaders of the late so-called Confederate States and army : that its head and front. Jefferson Davis, should be held up to the ex- ccration of all persons of all nations who. are imbued with the principles Of Christianitv and of common humanity ; - and that lie f snouia ue-arraigned, tried, and it round guilty, puffer" the extreme penalty for. his crime. s " . .---''. ' "" Resolved, That we hereby express our -unqualified disapproval of any attempt to re store rebels to power ; and earnestly protest against the admission to a seat in Congress of any Representative or Senator from States lately in rebellion who is unable to 'take what is known as the "test oath," and it would be an insult to every Union soldier in the Republic to allow men whose hands are yet red with the blood of their comrades to legislate for them, and for the wives and children of the gallant dead who fell on the battle -field or were atrociously starved or murdered in Southern prisons. llesoleed, That, in the opinion of this meeting, no State lately in rebellion should be allowed to come back into practical work ing relations with loyal States until they have given unmistakable evidence of a de sire to cherish the Union and protect the great principles of civil liberty, which they so lately attempted to destroy. Resolved, That it is the desire of this meet ing that, if any of the benefits asked for should be conferred by Congress, no distinc tion shall be made between soldiers or sailors on account of color. The Norfolk Riot. An inquest has been held over the bodies of Robert and Charlotte Whitehurst, recent ly killed in Norfolk. A part of the evidence is as follows : Marshal Capps I was passing through Nicholson street with three colored women in my carriage ; they requested me to stop to see the procession ; I stopped the carriage, and was leaning against the pole ; a colored man was lying in the road, between the road and ditch ; I took him to be drunk ; two colored men came along and told him to get up, that the procession was coming along ; he refused to get up, and told them to go away lrom ttierc, damn black sons ot , or he would shoot them ; or if they did not get away he would kill them. I turned towards the stand to see who was speaking to the colored population; a pistol went off; I looked again and saw a black man jump up and cry, " Oh Lord : oh Lordy I" he was the one who tried to get the drunken man up ; 'my belief is that the negro who was drunk shot him, for he told him if he did not go away he would shoot liiui ; when he fell, the negroes from the stand rushed towards Nich olson street crying, "Rally I rally, boys ! and kill a white son of a wherever vou find him !" they all rushed towards the side walk ; I turned my carriage and got out of the wav, and drove towards C hurch street ; then the crowd of negroes had headed up a white man ; who he was I do not know ; I only know they were in pursuit ot some one; I drove towards Mr. Collinaud stopped and looked back, and saw two negroes dragging a man between them ; they were headed oif bv a party at the corner ot Nicholson street. who turned them toward the old field ; I know both the men ; the man that was kill ed was the man they had between the two horses; I heard tiring at a house on Nichol son street, as I arrived on Church street with rav carnage. Susan Fuller, colored I was at Mrs. White- hurst's door yesterday, Mondavi on Nichol son street at the time of the fight ; Joe Mac- kev said. " Rally in, bovs : bring hi m out and shoot him !"' John fired and then I went off; I saw John shoot' at him ; I do not know whether John killed him Robert Whitehurst or not ; I only saw one shot fired, and went off to get out of danger ; there was a number around with guns and pistols ; a colored man tried to protect the house, and Muekey seized him by the collar, and asked him if he " would take up for a dam white secesh son of a ;" the man I saw John shoot was in his shirt sleeves ; I saw no white person in the house except those who lived there. The Old Dominion, of yesterday, says: The jury returned a verdict that Robert B. Whitehurst came to his death from pistol shots tired by a person or persons unknown to the jury. The same verdict was rendered iu the case of Mrs. Charlotte Whitehurst, with the exception that the word shots were singular, and not plural. Several parties, implicated in the riot and murder are now in jail, and will be examined before the Mayor at an early day. The coroner's jury felt con fident that both Mrs. Whitehurst and her son were killed by colored persons who had par ticipated in the celebration of that day, and discussed the propriety of inserting that in the verdict. It is very evident, from the tes timony adduce 1, that Whitehurst Brothers were shot by persons cngasfed in the proces sion, deliberate y and wilfully, but there is no testimony to show how Mrs. Whitehurst was shot, as it occurred inside the house. Martial law has been proclaimed in the Norfolk military district. The Peare PrcdauiMtion. The Omtlal t'on htrnitioa Explanation by the President. On the 7th inst., General Tillson, at Au gusta, Georgia, transmitted by telegraph the following interrogatory, addressed to Gene ral O. O. Howard: Does the President's recent proclamation remove martial law in this State It so, General Uranium does not feel authorized to arrest parties who have committed outrages on freed people or Union refugees. Please answer by telegraph. The following reply was sent from the Adjutant General's office : The President's proclamation doc3 not re move martial law or operate in any way up on the Frecdmen's Bureau in the exercise of its leg it i mate jurisdiction. It is not expedi ent, however, to resort to a military tribunal in any case where justice can be attained through the medium of civil authority. E. D. Townsend, A. A. G. The Washington correspondent of the Chicago Tribune, (Radical) gives the follow ing report of gn interview of General How nrd with the President, on the 4th instant : " The General opened the conversation by explaining that he had sought the interview for the purpose of learning, without delay, the effect which the proclamation was de signed to produce upon the methods and machinery of the Bureau. More specifically, he wished to know if martial law was abol ished, and with it the system of military courts established for the protection of the otherwise unprotected freed people. " The President replied, without hesita tion, that the proclamation was a declaration of jiolicy, and nothing more ; that it did not abolish military courts, did not remove mar tial law, and was not designed to modify the operations of the Bureau in any respect whatever. On the contrary, it was the President's expectation and express desire, that the administration of the Bureau should be continued as heretofore, and that all judi cial functions should be exercised, as the in terests of impartial justice may require. The President further observed that this procla mation would be Executively interpreted and applied precisely as was the proclama tion announcing the restoration of Tennes see. As the States or part of States give un questionable evidence of entire readiness to do impartial justice, they will lie individu ally and locally relieved from military go vernment; not otherwise, nor sooner."

A NEW ENTERPRISE I rpnE UNDERSIGNED, THEMSELVES MEM I bers of the Sabbath School, propose to com uience in the city of Raleigh, on or about the 1st ot next -May, "THE SUNDAY SCHOOL BANNER." And in the commencement of this little worl of love, being boys, ourselves, may wc not appeal to every Sunday School boy, and girl in North Carolina to come up promptly to aid the under taking. In our own State, there are very many Sabbath Schools, and from the best information we have, tlic scholarship is large aim increasing, and it is from them we look for that patronage which is neccssarv to improve and keep Iloatmg, this native standard which we propose for their benefit. It is not for pecuniary gain that the "Banner," is established; it has for its aim higher objects, and if we succeed in our enter prise, it will be to us in after life a source of great satisfaction to know that, in our boyhood days, we gave a helping hand to Sunday Schools, the preparatory School for places of high trust and position, iu the work of our Heavenly Father. Its name sullicicntly indicates the object which is to control its editorial conduct. There is ne cessity however for the remark that it will not be denominational, but alike open to all the Sabbath Schools of this State for contributions, in which there is no spice of sectarianism. The " Baxnek " will beissued monthly on hand some t3-pe, clear white paper aud will contaiu fourteen columns reading matter, quarto length.
