Another North Carolina Town Burn
ed
Goldsboro, North Carolina, was burned
on Sunday night last. The,'burning is
generally said to have Iwn the woift of
the Jacobinical Society ktlown as the lea*
gue.
We think tho Republican Extent le**
(’ommUti e, < fwl ich Saintn I F. Philips is
Chairman should ho held responsible for ibe
burning of Goldsboro. On the dav of tho
bloody riot at Gu-dshnro, the negroes swore
they would hu*n the torPtt:- They swore
too that they would burn lire hutel|-Ah re
the police imprisoned tho negro who caused
the i lot. The fire was applied to flu; hotel;
wh'ch burned much of the town destroying
property to the amount <jl SBO,OOO.
W« have su'd the Republican Executive
Committee should be In.ld responsible lor
ihe destruction of ihe town. But they will
all say with Stanl-'y, * Hold ns resposible
and be d— n.‘ These are our reasons for
tht* declaration :
Phillips sticccedod Holden as chairman
of the Executive Committee. This curotnit
tee chartered a train acd gave several
Ib.iQsan i negroes a fVeo ride to Goldsboro.
The negroes were furnished with free ra
tions ami free whiskey. When they ar
rived at Goldsboro* they entered into a
bloody riot, attempting to resene one of
their number from the officers of the law.
In this attempt one was killed and several
wounded. The negroes have been as good
as their word ami have burnt lh«? hotel and
the town. Without the Executive com
•mittee and the free ride ttya negroes could
not have gotten to Goldsboro*. If they
had not gone there, there Would have been
no riot, and there would have beeu no burn
ing..
Quod erat demonstrandum. —FaleighSen-
TINEL.
In the French departments occupied by
the Germans, tlie invaders autl the inhabit
iants lead a oat-and-Jog life. It rt be not
that actual violence is committed by One or
the other, every tiling is done by the French*
iriou to taunt and ridicule the Germans. In
Paris not a German will be allowed into u
Workshop. Three hundred of them having
been ivfused admittance, have carried their
piotest to their Minister. The Paris rab
ble stigmatizes all extortioners as Bis*
marcks. At St. Denis the Germans coin*,
plain at the annoyance caused them by the
inhabitants of that jjla&e,' #h‘o' name their
dogs, oats, pigs, and goats after command'
ing officers. Truly, hero is bad business.
It is very astonishing that the French
people should entertain feelings of rose hi"
incut toward their oppressors. They
should accept the situation and bury all
dead issues. The French are hot a pro
gressive people
The RriVsh Consul at Savannah, in his
report on the com pierce of Georgia, made
to the Foreign office at L »nd .0, and just
published, thus speaks of Brunswick :
‘The c<>«st «.f Brunswick harbor is pecu
liarly free from the bmks and shoils, aud
as the water gradually deepens front the
exterior islands, in iti- proportion of a fa
thorn a mile, a tfesWei ku wing this can
float off and on in safety. Passing the
islands and entering St SimonsH* Sound, a
large fl*el may float in safety. Brunswick
harbor being au arm of the sea, running
np only eighteen mi let?, aud cousecjneutly ,
up to tnifl time having no connection with
the interior, there has been but little com
merce from it, coastwise or foreign ; but
now that the Macno & Biunawick K*ilroad
has been completed, connvct'ng its waters
with the interior of Georgia and Savannah
and the Brunswick & Albany Railroad is in
process of construction, this harbor must
become in a few years one of the most »m
--portant in the Sbuthern country. Ii w the
best and most coorritodious harbor sooth of
the Chesapeake.
Lrrrus Thorns.-TBc sweetest, the most
clinging affection is often shaken by the
slightest breath of uukinduess, as tne del
icate rings and teodrills of the vine are
agitated by the faintest air that blows in
snmmer. -An unkind word from one beloved
often draws blood from many a heart which
would defy the battle-axe of hatred or the
keenest edge of vindictive satire. Nay.
the shade, tbs gloom of the face familiar
and dear, awakens grief and pain. These
are the little thorns, which; though men of
rougher form may make their way through
them without feeling them mnch, extremely
incommode persons of a more refined torn
hi their journey through life, and make
their traveling irksome and unpleasant.

The Fikst Smoker.— Every one knows
that tobacco was first brought into repute
in England by Sir Walter Raleigh. At
first he smoked in private, not wishing it
to beeme common ; but sitting one day
absorbed iu meditation, with a pipe in his
mouth, he called his servant|to briug him
a mag of beer. The fellow, as soon as he
entered the room was seized with, terror,
threw the contents of the mag into Sir
Walter's face, and running down stairs,
bawled out, ‘Fire ! fire I fire ! Sir Walter

to market, telling dim to got a piece of
tripe for breakfast, and invest the balance
in.beef and other articles for dinuer. Af
ter the necessary absence, the clerk return
ed, puffing under the weight of a heavy

that the clerk bad misapprehended his or
der,v for in the place of the small piece of tripe
for breakfast, and tlie good roast for <fihn< f
with trimmings, he had his basket loaded
with tripe in the crude state, not even the

readers can imagine tho disgiist with
which the employer inspected the contents
of that basket. A number of his friends
having heard of tiis good fo.rftiue, called to
