The rumor that ex-Gov. Vance and Col. Wm. Johnston are contemplating the establishment of a newspaper in Raleigh is untrue. They have no such intention says the Observer. Real estate is steadily advancing in Raleigh. Property that five years ago brought $8000, now sells for $15,000. The population, too, is steadily in creasing. There are two hundred bouses in course of erection. The Henderson Tribune says there is at Kittrell's an old car of the Ral eigh and Gaston railroad covered with shingles, and wonders how this home looking concern would appear run ning on the road now as it did twenty-five years ago. The Raleigh Examiner says: A citi zen of McRae, Telfair county, Ga., writes the Secretary of State that he holds a bond against the State of North Carolina for four hundred dol lars.

A small little boy at the Military Institute at Charlotte, on Friday last, pointed at a little son of Col. Thomas what he thought to be an unloaded gun in order to pop a cap at him. The trigger was pulled, the gun fired and a charge of birdshot took effect in the left side of the head. The skull was not fractured though a large part of the scalp was torn away. The wound is not dangerous but se vere. Says the Wilmington Star of the 28th ult.: "Friday night the county of Rob eson was the scene of one of those horrible murdere that almost chill the blood when narrated, and that go to make up the bloody record that dis graces the civilization of the nine teenth century. "The parties to this latest horror were Miles Purcell, Jimmie Purcell and Thomas Seals; the first named a colored man, and the two latter white. "The murder was committed at or near Gilchrist's Bridge, on Lumber River, some 20 or 25 miles northwest of Lumberton; and the tale of butch ery is briefly told: "The two Purcell'e toot a horse and buggy belonging to Seals without his concent; Seals remonstrated with them, when the brutes turned upon him and beat him to death with sticks. "The murderers have not baea ar rested, but it is hoped they may soon be lodged in j ail. Condensed from the Charlotte Dem ocrat: The Directors of the N. C. Rail road held a meeting at the Company Shops on Friday laat eight of the twelve Directors were present. The absent ones were J. L. Morehead, W. R. Myers, R. Barringer, and Moses Ilolmes. We hear it rumored that a resolution was offered directing the President of the road, W. A. Smith, to call a meeting of Stockholders to consider the amendments to the char ter enacted by the late Legislature, called the "Consolidation Bill," and that the Board with only one dissent ing vote refused to so instruct the Pres ident on the ground that the bill itself directed that the Governor should issue the call for a meeting of the Stockholders. If the Legislature had passed a supplemental or special bill directing the Governor to call the meeting, instead of inserting such power in the amendments to the char ter which have to be adopted by the company before they take effect, the Governor prolably could have legally issued the call; but as it is, it seems to us he has no power in the premises. The Board of Directors, it is said, will not call the meeting because the Legislature tried to ignore them and their President by attempting to con fer the duty on the Governor. And, further, it is understood that more than two-thirds of the Board are un favorable to the Consolidation Bill as passed by the Legislature. We learn that the Directors will hold another meeting on the 13th of March, and if, by that time, the money due on the lease contract is not paid-, the lease will be annulled. We are informed that President Smith declares that he will build or complete the Western N. C. Railroad, but not under the consol idation law of the lata Legislature.

A private letter from a gentleman in Raleigh says : " I will send you in a few days some of the charters of the Seaboard & Raleiirh Road they seem to be in earnest about the matter." We will be glad to furnish these charters to anv who will call for them. If our people would manifest a little public spirit in regard to this enterprise much good might accrue to this section. - Spiritual Rappixos. A party of ladies and gentleman met at the residence of Mr. Julius Barlow, on Monday night, to test some of the mysteries of the spiritual rap pings. The spirits acknowledged the presence of two mediums, and manifested their delight at being called forth by tak ing possession of a table and making it cut numerous and various didoes. Many ques tions were asked and frequently answers were riven which were startling in accu- rateness. Adam and Eve and the Apples. We have received the following, which we give as indicating that the crop of apples that year must have been very large, and that our first parents' capacity to dispose of them was truly wonderful. Our corres pondent says : Now make the number they ate thus Eve says to Adam C I 8 1 ; then Adam says to Eve C I X L I 8 2. Now as they got into a dispute about which ate the most, and as she was EVE-il disposed by taking the apples first without liberty, and as evil disposed women are apt to be contrary and j try to carry their point, probably she wan ted to make out that she had eaten the i most. So after she had said to Adam C 8 1, and Adam to Eve 1 1 X L 1 8 ii, Jfive said to Adam, no C I X L 1 8 1 4 you did. 100,181 10,011,050,182 100,110,501,814 Total, ,: 110,121,652,177 communicated. PURIM IN TARBORO". Agreeable to an ancient custom among the lsralites, the Feast of Purim was cele brated in this town on Monday, March 2nd, by a private Masquerade party at the spa cious residence of Mr. A. Whitlock. It was attended by the entire Hebrew com munity of Tarboro, and by several guests from Washington, Greenville, Battleboro and Enfield, who attended in mask, and were not recognized till the same was re moved. Precisely at 9 o'clock the music. furnished by Pomp Long and two able as sistants, struck a Grand March, led bv Mr. H. Morris and Mrs. A. Whitlock, " who were not masked. There were over twen ty couples, most of them in disguise, who presented a brilliant as well as grotesque appearance to the spectators, while march ing from one room to the other. The march over, each person attempted to carry out the character they personated, which caused almost side-splitting laughter to all present. The costumes, with few exceptions, were original and on the comic order. It would be a difficult task for a nrfessional ouil- driver to do justice to all the characters where there were so many who acted then part to perfection, and who added so much fun and hilarity to the occasion, hence we wiu not attempt, even if space admitted, to give more than a passing glance at the most prominent of the characters present : Masked Ladies Misses J. M.. as the School Girl : E. K.. as Irish Lace Peddler: R., Daughter of the Reeiment : C. A.. Hunting Girl ; 8.. Peasant Girl : V. It.. Gipsey Queen ; S. A., Goddess of Liberty ; Mrs. M., Colored Lunch Peddler; Mrs.'j. A. O., Gipsey Princess; Misses E. W., Peasant GirL and M. II.. Girl of the Peri od. Masked Gentleman Messrs. J. K..

Ovenrrown 8chool Boy. VV e venture to say that no nleasanter evening has ever been spent within the limits of Tarboro, and since the Hebrew young men have been so successful in their nrst attempt at a Masquerade party, it is well to state m this connection that it is their intention to give a Grand Public Fan cy Masque Ball at a suitable time during the present year. 1 hanks are hereby tendered to the Com mittee composed of Messrs. Sol Whitlock, D. Litchtenstein and A. Heilbroner. for their complete arrangements and the inter est they displayed to make the party enjoy able to all present. v ine and refreshments were served sev eral times during the evening, aud it was 6 A. Al. before the happy party dispersed to their homes to dream of a repetition of such fun. . Participant. Concord Lodoe, No. 58, A. Y. M. Regular communication to-night at Ti 'clock.

March Oth, 1874, Cufpxe tor Congress. An Exchange says : It may be put down as a settled fact that a niger will be nominated and elected to Congress in the 2nd District. Dudley, of Craven, Hyman, of Warren and O'Hara, of Halifax are the leading aspirants. Why, how is this ? No mention is made of Camper, of Edgecombe. For the honor of our county we demand that Camper have a fair showing before the public. Young, handsome, chivalrous and " trooly loiL" he would be a man of whom the Rads might be proud, occupying Tthe seat of Ruffin, Hall, Stanly and others. Buncombe. We hear that Judge Clark-ee grew very wrathy with a consta ble, and the Sheriff of Edgecombe under whose orders the constable acted, because a prisoner was carried to Wilson court from this county with manacles an. His honor thought such an indignity too great to be borne by a free American citizen, and when he thought of the election to take place this summer, he felt like girding on his sword for the fourth time. In fact he did become so furious, we hear, that he sent the constable to jail for the offence. We hope the constable will sue him for false imprisonment, and that he mav be prose cuted under the criminal law. Boistrous and Disorderly Conduct. We notice that a person was arrested and taken before the Mayor a few days ago on the charge of using boistrous and profane language on the streets. If this is the beginning of a general practice to'be pur sued, we heartily congratulate the town authorities upon its inauguration. It has been a shame to our police heretofore that a lady considered it unsafe to be on our streets Saturdays and other public days. We hope the ordinance against disorderly conduct on the streets will be hereafter vigorously and fearlessly enforced, and that all (rood citizens will encourage the Mavor in his work. Meeting of County Commissioners. This Board met for its monthly convoca tion last Monday : Present the whole posse. The first business in order being an elec tion of a member of the Board to supply the place of John C. Dancy, deceased, ballot was gone into, with the followin nominations before the court : Geo. Math- ewson. Clem S. Camper, R. M. Johnson and Jesse Garner, Colored, and John Lan caster, white. The first ballot stood two for a white man and two for a negro, the second was ditto and so were they all during the .whole day,Jwhen the court ad journed, having accomplished nothing whatever. The contest was evidently a strong political one, the leading radical politicians being present, each looking after the interest of his peculiar sect. The whole scene was a sad one. Here was a body of men trying to elect one of the most important officer, of the county, one to assist in the management of the finances of a large and wealthy county, and yet the men of means and standing, men whose interest would have been a guarantee of their integrity, were all passed by, not once thought of perhaps, and such men as we have mentioned put forward. The want of character and dignity too in the court was lamentably noticeable Mathewson was the wit of the Board which seemed to enjoy his facetix abundantly, Godwin being gieatly diTerted whenever he would make the slightest observation The manner in which it submitted to sur vilance and espionage from political lead era was also extremely humiliating, and we left the court feeling that surely we must be at the bottom of political degrada tion. We cannot believe this is to con tinue always, but that ere long the public mind of the North will realize our condi tion and bend its influence towards our relief. There will be a called meeting of the Board on the 23rd inst. BntDrsre and Loan Association. Wc ask permission to call the attention of our friends in the country, who expect to re quire aid in carrying on their agricultural operations during the present year, to a j consideration of the merits, and aptitude to their want., of tlie financial society in our midst known as the Building and Loan As sociation. Its name is doubtless due to the fact that its prime object was for the loan of money to aid in building. For this pur pose it is truly appropriate, but its operation is not peculiar to that alone but may be ex tended to almost all business pursuits. For instance the merchant is in need of capital, he can get the money from a Building and Loan Association and thereby wait until he has had a chance to realize from his trade before he has to repay his borrowed capi tal. In a similar manner it can also be advantageously used by a farmer who has to work on borrowed capital. He can get the money needed from the Association, at a much less rate of interest than is fre quently paid to commission merchants, and has a long time and by small installments to refund it. It also allows a discount to those who will pay six or twelvemonths in advance, thereby giving au opportunity to avoid the inconvenience of monthly pay ments and getting a good interest on the money. We have no hesitation in saying that farmers would find it greatly to their advantage to take this method of procur ing money, rather than by getting it from the North at their exorbitant rates of inter est. It woidd be impossible in a short article as this to explain the operation of the Building and Loan Association, sufflice it to say, it rests upon the principle of a monthly compound of interest and a par ticipation of each member in the profits of the concern. For each share of stock one dollar must be paid into the Association every month and when that share has been borrowed on, or in other words redeemed, an additional dollar is to be paid. In the Edgecombe Building and Loan Association money is now atout $160, so for ten shares a person could get $1600, for which he would have to pay $2.00 per month until the association is wound up, which is esti mated to take place in about four years. Of course the amount to be paid hereafter must be added to that already paid to esti mate the rate of interest at which money is borrowed. We would, however, refer any of our country friends, who wish to invest, to any member of the Association, or to Mr. Spragins, the Secretary, for a full ex planation of its working. The Tarboro' B. and L. Association lacks nearly six hundred shares of having its full number, and its shares are at present low, being only about six or eight dollars. A View of Education effect of fees schools on the colored PEOPLE "A LITTLE LEARNING IS A DAN GEROUS THING," &C. A correspondent writing from Tarboro' to the State Agricultural Journal thus gives j his view of education, especially as applied to the colored people : Now that the common schools are in op eration throughout a great portion of our 6tate, we, or a few at least, are beginning to realize its results. e are in lavor of promoting and diffusing knowledge for the good of those unable to defray the expen ses of an education, but it oftentimes re sults in a curse to the lower class m this country. We have several examples of this sort, for in the year 1873 there were two negroes sentenced to our State peniten tiary, haying been convicted of forgery. The performers of this great crime could barely read and write, enough, however, to cause vanity and villainy to revive a reso lution to commit such a crime, tbimung, perhaps, that it would never be detected. Besides these, we have had others equally aggravating. But whether these ne groes were taught in the free schools or not we are not aware, out wnetner iney were or not it serves to show us what to expect from negro education. The negro children attending school, as soon as they can read consider themselves prepared for business, and very few have any idea of laboring as their parents have done, for they seem to think that a person with a little education would be degraded were he to humble himself to the plow. So we may imagine the condition of the rising generation of negroes. Also, the danger and snares education exposes a per son to, however limited it may De. Ana the more limited it is, greater is the danger. Too unfortunately, vanity is the result or education, and vanity causes desperation and restlessness. We do not mean, how ever, that education is the only cause of vanity, but one of the principal causes. Negroes, as a general thing, are unreason ably inclined, and are, as most of us, sub ject to extremes. And an education is simply a fostering oi their corrupt ana evil nature. Lducation then can never be Den- eficial to them until they can be taught to consider the use of it and to apply it m the proper way. The faults mentioned are not entirely and distinctly allied to the colored race, but are apparent in the characters oi many of our young men who have been blessed with the advantages of an education, r or in many instances they seek some more honorable vocation than that of agriculture the noblest pursuit of man. And if every one could consider it as such and follow accordingly, it wouia oe a most nap ov change. Some of the greatest men ot rank were pursuers of this occupation, and they did not consider labor hurtful to their character, although possessed witn an en viable education. Then why snoutd we not follow their example and by our own example leave a worthy one to the colored race for they are more or less inclined to be governed by our actions. And a negro with an education, seeing a white person with one standing aloof from labor and oftentimes resorting to the most unscrupu lous means to refrain therefrom, feels him self, of course, on an equal fooung with him, and will follow the promptings of their savage-like heart into greatest depths of iniquity. This is from the example they have and the only difference is he plunges deeper into crime, which of qourse is owing to his uncivilized qualities. And we cannot censure him with his faults while our own are exposed. Education, then, is a blessing to our State and our world, if it be properly applied But everything in its present condition, it is a curse to us and our welfare. If the teachers in the common schools were com pelled to impress the minds of their pupil with the honor and importance of labor, and to view education in its right sense, then the object would look a little more plausible and would be, we dare say, more beneficial to the public interest. The greatest blessing ever invented Siffht. the greatest gem of nature. Call at BELL'S and get a pair of Patent Eye-Cups, and restore your sight. Relief given in one minutes time without pain.

Mr. r.Drroi:: That " moral cyclone " as Mr. Beeclu-r calls the praying temper ance lmnenient of the women of the West, continues to advance Eastward. The Congressional Temperance Society at Wash ington has recently held two meetings aud resolved to open a systematic campaign against liquor selling in the District of Columbia. The women are to begin with their pray ing bands next Saturday. In Orange Ne w Jersey and on Staton Island the woi;k has been inaugurated. Nothing has yet been done in New York City and in Philadelphia, except in the way of preparation. Dr. Dio Lewis is said to be awaiting hi the former city, to organize operations next week, having been promis ed, it is said, the service? of three thousand women. A very good preliminary indication is seen in the resolve taken by the Trustees of Trinity Church, under the enfluence of many of the members particularly the wo men, to weed out the liquor dealers among the tenants of the church property. It is certainly high time that the churches of the land should free themselves from all com plicity in the liquor traphic. In the meantime the demonst-ntion con tinues at the West, extendiug in every di rection, with varied results. In one place a legal injunction has been issued against sucu worsnip, says the Judge, as "is made the pretext of breaking up a man's lawful trade ;" but, generally, a f ah-degree of success appears to have attended the movement, although it is likely that any case of visible triumph is made more of by the press than instances of failure. And then, again, what may prove to be the most beneficial result of the crusade is not so conspicuous at present we mean the general moral awakening as to the evils of intemperance, which will inspire hun dreds and thousands, particularly of the young, with right principles and safe hab its. As Mr. Beecher has said, the evil of in temperance "has defied legislation; we have made laws restricting it, and we have lost in some respects and gained in others, and now, under the providence of God, there lias arisen a moral cyclone, a perfect tempest of influence." It is likely to be exaggerated, possibly to be misdirected and wasted, in many in stances ; but it springs from noble impul ses, and it M ill accomplish much good. Although it is carried forward essentially by enthusiasm, it needs to be directed by good judgment as much as any reformatory undertaking. Never should it be unattended by the evident spirit of love and charity, for even a praying persecution of even a rumsellcr will awaken sympathies in his behalf, and will sooner or later react against the cause of temperance. Why, also, should not the rum-drinker be equally labored with in prayer, seeing that he is not free from blame and certain ly needs the zealous ministering attention of the Christian community ? However, an extraordinary moral agita tion like this brings its own laws, and will work itself out accordingly, with little re gard to criticism, advice or opposition. All right-minded persons will lend their influence to strengthen the good of which it is capable, and to lessen and efface what ever appears to lie objectionable in its train. B. Messrs. Battle's Cotton Mills at Rocky Mocst. The following to the Nor folk Landmark under date of the 23rd ulti mo, in regard to an enterprise in which we all feel an interest, we ropy with pleas ure : The next day after the date of my last I accompanied the proprietor in lookiug oer the famous Rocky Mount Mills. This cot ton mill, as perhaps is well known, was erec ted soma years before the war, and prored Tery remunerative investment, but was burned in '69 and rebuilt in 71, and is now successful operation. I first examined the dam, a massive structure of solid gran ite, the bulwarks of which ou each side were of natural rock connected together by a ledge of rocks at the bed of the river, form ing, as I am told, originally, quite a oeanu- fnl cascade. After leaving this ITF.nE8TI30 PIECE OP WORKMANSHIP, aud unique blending of the natural with the runcial, I then visited the picking room, where the cotton is separated into the minu test particles, all the dirt discarded and then made into rolls again. To this, as also most every machine in the building, were attached automatic appendages so arranged that as soon as a certain task was completed, or if anything should become displaced, it topped as of its own accord, until ire-ud- usted. I went next to the carding rooms, then to the spinning, weaving and finally to the warping rooms ; but 1 nave omittea tne de tails, for although the courteous proprietor made them extremely entertaining and in structive to me, as an actual observer, I am not so sure of my ability to interest the gen eral reader. In connection with the factory are a saw and grist mill, both doing a fine business. It is contemplated, as the pro prietor informed me, to foim a joint stock company, with capital sufficient to rm 500 (.piudles, as there is water power enough to run 1.000. It is a compliment due the good Mat - ageruent and humanity of the owners of this coucern to say ti.at no accident oi any importance has ever happened iu the mills to any one, and that I never saw beforo so healthy and 1 ppy a class of laborers, all of whom are white, io eacn grown laborer s given gratuitously a house and garden. The wages per diem range from 10 cents to chil dren to $4 to- men. The want of skilled labor end the trouble in securing an sfficient superintendent, are among the difficulties to be encountered in an enterprise of this nature. It would be well for us to follow the example of the proprietor, who is able to superintend his own business. Now I would advise anv. young or old, laborer, mechanic, or anybody else who is out of em ployment, to settle near the Kocky Mount mills, where, I am assured, he will omaia employment if he is HOKST ASD 1XICSTR10D8 and I would invite all who are weary of tiresome turmoil and dull routine of city life to spend a few days at the pretty little village of Rocky Mount, and my word for it, you will return wuh your energies re newed and something pleasant to think of for a life time. If you are of a practical disposition, the low rumbling of ihe factory, the shrill whistle oi tne locomotive, ana me munner of the busy little town will afford a pleasant and continuous response to your feelings.

Unlike other Cathartics, Dr. Prierce', Pleasant Purgatives Pellets do not, after their operation, have a secondary tendency to render the bowels more costive. This is an important improvement, as all who have ever taken many pills or other cathartics for the purpose of overcoming constipation, knew to their so rrow that the secondary effect of all such medicines has been "to render a bad matter worse." These Pellets produce such a secondary tonic effect upon the bowels as to bring about a permanent healthy action.
