Atlanta, Ga.,Feb. 17.North Caiolina is on the verge of a terrible race war growing out of the exodus of Colored people. All railroad emigrant agents have been drnui out of the staXe. The'-.failing local military companies have been call ed out in Wayne County to aid the farmers in preventing deseition of their laborers. The whites have asked the legislature for a law covering the case, and the blacks have retaliated by calling public meetings, at which resolutions are adopted declaring that their treatment by the whites makes life in the sfatc un bearable. The resolutions adopted at a monster meeting in Goldsboro contain ed this clause: God is at the head of this move, and not the Richmond & Danville Railroad Company. The voice of John Brown is soun ting in the ears of the sons of Ham, and the great Southwest says: "Come we have lands," and the oppressed con science of the Kegro says: "Go," and we are going.

On the plantation there lived an octoroon boy, who would, pass for white, named Henry Shelton. aged fifteen. On Fri day he gained the girl's consent to fly with him. Pursuit was given, but the couple gained Gibson, secured a maxr riage license without detection of^Shel ton's color, were married and left before the father reached th& town. Mr. Car roll sued out a w?it, of habeas corpus, alleging the husband's mixed blood, and Judge Calhqrifi gave the girl back to her father. The whites are indignant enough to lynch Shelton, but as the com munity is overwhelmingly black, the danger is obvious. Mad as a March Hare. The exact origin of this phrase is shrouded in obscurity, but different ex planations of its significance and deriva tion have been many. It applies, how ever, to the man who denies that Min nesota has a fine, health-giving climate and ample resources.

The press of the state is loud-in praises of Mr. Clark for the place. Business interests in other lines while not lushing are lea^onably active.

The coal dealers have stiuggled hard to keep up the price of coal, but coke has most generally supplied the place of hard coal, where people had hard coal stoves, but those purchasing new stoves invariably got the new improved soft coal burners. The base has finally fallen out on soft coal, reducing the very best of it to only $2.00 per ton at your door. This has been the greatest revival sea son in all churches known for many seasons. Indeed the results have been greatest ever witnessed here. The con verts from the different churches num ber hundreds, and many from the ranks of the greatest sinners.
