of tho bt advertls-i ii mdiui in the Proceedings ol the Annual Convention of the K. church ot the Diocese of North Carolina. Wilmington, May 22. After morning service the Bishop opened the Convention with prayer. Roll call was dispensed with.

The journal was read and approved with corrections. The Right Rev. Bishop of North Carolina then proceeded to deliver his charge to the clergy on the subject of auricular confession, the Bishop handling his subject with much ability and earnestness. On motion of Rev. Mr.

Murdock, it was resolved that 2000 copies of the charge should be printed for distribution in the Diocese. On motion of R. H. Battle, the charge wa8 ordered to appear as a part of the journal. Col.

J. Atkinson introduced the following resolutions and advocated at length their passage Resolved 1. That the members of this Diocesan Convention pledge their faithful and earnest support to every proper measure which may be adopted by the General Convention of the church tending to banish and drive away from this church all erroneous and strange doctrines; to maintain uniformity of service at her altars and to suppress excess or defects of ritual in her worship. Resolved 2. That we solemnly protest against any change in the Liturgy of this church as now presented in the book of Common Prayer.

A Liturgy venerable in its antiquity, and in which, we are persuaded, there is nothing contrary to' sound doctrine, and which may not be concluded and proved by Holy Scripture. It was moved to indefinitely postpone the resolutions. The yote being announced as a tie, the Bishop invited the Assistant Bishop to vote, and he cast the decision in favor of the consideration of the resolutions, which were made a order for 5 P. adding a special session of the Convention therefor. The following elections took place, voting by orders Delegates to the General Convention.

At White-vine in this State, February 22, Charles Hamlin departed this life in the 74th year of his age, leaving a clsconsolate widow and three sorrowing children to mourn their loss. He was born in Halifax ceunty, N. bnt spent the most of his life in Petersburg, where he was highly cbIccukkI bj- mil no Kaw min. Like so many others, the war found him in ease and affluence; out left him deprived ef all. For himself, he cared little that his fortune had deserted him, he grieved that it should fall so heavily upon her, whom he so tenderly loved, and whom it was his delight to surround wlih every comfort.

In all the relations of life, he was most exemplary. He was a most devoted husband, a fond and indulgent parent, a good master, an obliging neighbor and a most excellent citizen. Through his hoi life, he was noted lor strict Integrity, unswerving truthfulness and large-hearted charity. Although not a professor of religion, he was a diligent reader of the Bible and his constant and last prayer was thatol the Publ.can, "God, be merciful to me, a He retained his senses to the last and was fully conscious that his dissolution was approaching and sunk to rest calmly and peacefully. We trust that in the quiet of th sick bed, to which he was confined for six weeks, he humbly confessed his sins to his Heavenly Father, and had them washed away by the blood of the Lamb.

To all, particularly invalids, Spring Is a trying season. Indications of sickness should at once be attended to. Fatal diseases may be caused by allowing tbe bow-els to become constipated, and the system to remain in a disordered condition, until the disorder has time to develop Itself. An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure, Is an old and truthful saying. Therefore, we advise all who are troubled with the complaints now very prevalent bead-ache, Indigestion, disordered liver, want of appetite, nausea, or feverish skin, to take, without delay, Schenck's Mandrake Pills.

We know of no remedy so harmless and decisive in its action. It at once strikes at the root of the disease and produces a healtiiy tone to the system. People never need sutler irom any disease arising from a disordered condition of the liver if they would take this excellent medicine when they feci the first indications of the malady. Families leaving home for the summer months should take three or lour boxes or these pills with them. They have an almost instantaneous effect.

They will relieve tbe patient of headache in one or two hours, and will rapidly cleanse the liver of surioonding bile, and will effectually prevent a bilious attack. They are sold by all druggists. my ltt-tf NEW ADVERTISEMENTS. LAST CHANCE FOR AN EASY FORTUNE Fifth and Last Gilt Concert IN AID OF TBE PUBLIC LIBRARY OF KY. JULY 3 1S 1 8 7 2.

MOREL, Agent, MORE OF WHAT THEY DID AND HOW THEY DID IT. As stated in our yesterday's issue, we will continue to-day, the proceedings of the Board of City Commissioners which took place Friday night at the Mayor's office. It seems that we were in error in stating that Commissioner Gorman moved to lay the proposition of Mr. Millerontable, and that the minutes be disapproved Ellison, a reformer, made the motion. Commissioner Gorman objected to the reading of the affidavits, and his motion was carried.

But of these affidavits we desire especially to speak. As heretofore stated, Air. Virginius Ballard, a candidate for tho position of Cleric tmrt" Collector, after the election on last Monday night, entered a protest and contested said election, as he was prepared to show by affidavits that five of the nine votes were not cast for F. A. Sorrell, as the count showed.

The consideration of thprotest was postponed till Friday night for final action. In the meantime, Capt. Ballard attain3re affidavits from members of the Board, affirming that they voted for Heartt and Ballard. In the listsof affiants was one O'Neill, whose affidavit reads as follows Now, therefore be it remembered that Mr. O'Neill, who swears he did not vote for Sorrell, but that he did vote for Heartt, was the only one of the affiants that voted against the proposition of Mr.

Miller to disapprove of the minutes as they were incorrect, As stated yesterday, the action of Mr. O'Neill's places him in rather an unpleasant position. We therefore make this fair and correct report from the minutesso that the public may see and know for themselves. WTe have not space to give a full report of the balance of the proceedings. Suffice it to say that an attempt made by the Democratic members of the Board to reduce tne members of the night police force, as one step towards retrenchment, was defeated by the Republican reformers.

When the strict party vote was announced, keeping on duty ten policemen for night duty, instead of seven, as proposed by uncle Johnny Pal-mer, well did he exclaim, "where now is your professed reform and retrenchment?" The only other business of importance transacted was the election of the night police force as follows Henry Lane, Ed. Simm, Oscar Winters, Sampson Anderson, Turner Evans, Wm. Taylor, col. W. H.

Hays, W. H. Stone, Geo. King, white. After which the Board adjourned till next Wednesday night.

Mr. President Gentlemen Assembled So much has been said, and so many things have been presented to the enjoyment of our honored guests since their arrival in this city they have been so warmly welcomed and so hospitably entertained they have heard the story of-our growing wealth and vigorous enterprises so much better told by more eloquent lips than my own, that nothing on these matters has been left for me to say and yet, as at this moment I must speak, and as my thoughts have held a different flight, therefore, perforce, I'll speak of "that which struggling hardest for an utterance, comes readiest in answer to the sentiment which your President has just so pleasantly enunciated. The name of the city of Raleigh, gentlemen, awakens a train of far-reaching associations. It summons from the placid deeps of the past the memory of a grand and gallant hero, the towering shade and central figure of England's golden Elizabethian age; it evokes, in quiet majesty, the form of Sir Walter Raleigh, the statesman and soldier, the sailor and courtier.thepoet and philosopher, the chemist and historian, and the martyr in the cause of human freedom. On him, it was once said, the old world gazed us at a star while from the new, where the crystal clitls of Mt.

Raleigh, amid the solitudes of arctic seas, shimmer beneath the aurora's rays, the reflection of his fame flashed back flashed over old ocean's wrinkled wastes three centuries ago, when the keels of his intrepid feet lirst cleft the inland waters of the hemisphere which we now inhabit. Here too.on the soil of North Carolina, he built a monument of enduring-fa me, for here he planted the new home of the Anglo-Saxon race; and here, among the vines and flowers of our Eastern shore, where the breath of spring is filled as of old with the perfume of blossoms and the cool forests are still made harmonious with the carols of innumerable birds, in a land, whose lovliness tiros tho imagination ami enchants the heart, he laid the foundation of a colony, destined by lofty fate to imperishable renown; ami gave to it, the island city of his hopes, in those distant years, the glorious name which has been so often uttered here to-night, the name of the City of Raleigh. Let us then for a moment, as we gather about the festive board, roll back the chilling tide of the fast-flowing decades, and listen amid the rising notes of triumph over toils forgotten and sufferings ended, to the weird story of the late of our scarce-remembered mother city. It was a lonely settlement on a wild and stormy coast, the sole habitation of civilized man from the circle of the Hesperides to the Pole. One hundred and fifty persons made up its devoted baud of pioneers, who had faced the terrors of ocean, the invisible fevers of the land, the starvation of the wilderness aud the implacable malice of treacherous foes and who, Anally, faced and unknown and mysterious doom, whence no record has been rescued from the tomes of eternity.

By the spell of this story the words of the historian have ever thrilled into tender and mournful harmony, for into the midst of that unhappy city there came one, whose name lias grown into ahousehold word a babe, the first, sweet, lily infant of an English mother, born on American soil, a heavenly gift, a merciful memory from the skies! Virginia Dare, the lirst born citizen of the first City of Raleigh, the first free born citizen of a land consecrated to freedom forevermore And therefore may we not now, with this memory in our hearts, indulge our fancy with a dream, as all have sometimes dreamed, that if there be a tutelar divinity which guards the grove, the fountain, and the hill, that surely from the balmy arc of this May evening, somewhere among the shadows of yon floating, fleecy clouds, clothed in the thin radiance of the stars, the spirit of Virginia. Dare looks down to watch o'er our second city of Sir Walter Raleigh, which is alone, since her translation to etherial realms, the true daughter of the island City that was.blessed, three hundred years ago, with the brightness of her natal morning! Aye, it is well thus to dream, and to belie've, and to consent, in variance with the callous scepticim of tho hour, to the presence of so pure, so gentle, soangelic anideal atourfeast Virginia Dare! Virgin child of a virgin land! May thy spirit watch o'er our threshholds and guard our hearthstones with unfaltering love! And yet forever, methinks, beside her form there stands another shade, dissimilar but inseparable, rising from the placid deeps of the past in serene and tranquil majesty. It is the martyr and the babe, the statesman and the child, the poet and the angel of his song. It is the oaK ana the vine the English oak and the Carolina vine the vine, whose trailing ten drils wander among the branches of our City of Oaks It is more. It is the virgin and the hero!
