to apply the two first words of the title of his pamphlet to the place as its name. Many a place in this country and in Europe has had its name stuck on it, or thrown at it until it stuck, in some such way by incidents or causes that no one at first supposed would result in shaping and attaching the name to the place. As coinciding with this view of the case, and to prove that Newport was regarded as a great schemer, full of projects, vain and bombastic, I make the following quotations. Stith, at page 76 of his History, says: Captain Newport was in reality an empty, idle, interested man, very fearful and suspicious in times of danger, but a very great and important person in his own talk and conceit. Sir William Keith in his History of the British Plantations in America, speaks, at p. 81, Part I [London Edit., 1738], of Newport as one whose head was full of projects; and at p. 82 he says, the vanity of Captain Newport's conduct at this time was so ridiculous that, &c.

t, receiving but little fire from the enemy, who turned out to be negroes! The scene now baffles description. But little quarter was shown them. My heart sickened at deeds I saw done. Our brigade not driving the enemy from the inner portion of the exploded mine, Saunders and Wright's brigades finished the work. I have never seen such slaughter on any battlefield. Our regiment lost 27, killed and wounded, the majority of whom were killed, and among them Emmet Butts, of our company. Put Stith, of our company, was wounded. Colonel Weisiger, commanding the brigade, was wounded. From what I have seen, the enemy's loss could not have been less than from 500 to 700 killed, to say nothing of those wounded, and between five hundred and one thousand prisoners. Ours probably did not exceed 400 killed, wounded and missing. Negotiations under a flag of truce are now pending. Probably Grant wants to bury the dead between the lines. Permission was granted to water his wounded. I observ

el was born in the town of Halifax, North Carolina, the 27th day of June, 1828. He was the youngest child of the Hon. J. R. J. Daniel, who was elected Attorney-General of North Carolina in the year 1834, and afterwards represented his district in the Congress of the United States several terms. He was a cousin of Judge Daniel, who was appointed March 2, 1815, judge of the Superior Court of North Carolina and elected judge of the Supreme Court of North Carolina, 1832. His mother was a Miss Stith. He was the last surviving issue of his father. Blessed with a constitution of great original vigor, he gave promise in the early years of his life of those powers of endurance which were so necessary to the work he found next his hand to be done. His mother died when he was three years of age. Fortunately he had learned more these three years than he did any decade of his life thereafter. The teaching of this holy woman fell upon good soil and helped to make her son loathe dishonest

Its absence was owing to an accidental breaking down. Its energetic owner, Mrs. Stith, could not get it mended in time, owing to all the different shops being engaged on Government work. It will be in its accustomed place to-day.

Sudden death. --About half-past 8 o'clock yesterday morning, a colored woman named Maria, the property of Mrs. Stith, was crossing the street near the First Market, carrying a basket of clothes, when she suddenly fell upon the pavement and almost immediately expired. Capt. Ellis had the body conveyed into the station-house, where it remained until removed by the friends of the deceased.
