DABING HIGHWAY ROBBEST.-Mr. Willie Flowers,
who was on his way to Wilson yesterday morning,
was halted on the road about two miles from Wil?
sen, by three men-black-and robbed of his
norse, money, valuable papers, hat and boots, and
then ordered not to go to Wilson. He, however,
after making a circuitous route, reached Wilson.
Mr. F., we understand, thinks the robbers were
white men disguised as negroes.

A NEW STAT LAW.-A gentleman who arrived
yesterday from Pitt County, reports that tho
sheriff of that county was assaulted by a party of
armed men, a few miles from the town of Green?
ville, a day or two since, and several executions
. and papers then in his possession, returnable at
the Spring Term of the County Court, were seized
and destroyed. The pari;c_ then proceeded to
- Greenville, and entering the Clerk's omeo enacted
the same scene, seizing and destroying all the
papers in that officer's possession, returnable at
the Spring Term of the County Court
A feeling of intense excitement prevails through?
out Pitt and the adjoining Counties in consequence
of this event, and strenuous efforts are being
made to discover some clue which will lead to the
recognition of the parties perpetrating the out?
rage. .Their efforts are attended, however, with
considerable difficulty, the Sheriff being unable to
recognize any one of "tue party, 80 thoroughly were
they disguised.
This act establishes for Pitt County quite an
effective stay law, which will be felt for some time
to come.- mbnington Journal.
TRAVELLING OYSTER BED.-We were permitted
to examine a curiosity in natura of a most amus?
ing character at A. Near's confectionery store yes?
terday.
It was no less than three large sized live
oyst-rs, firmly attached to the shell cf a common
** mer turtle.
. The bivalves are very securely embedded on the
turtle's - back, and doubtless have been enjoying
free transportation for many a day.

'. The mineral meerschaum is well known to be a
hydrated silicato of magnesia, with two equiva?
lents of water. The variety most valued in com?
pact, susceptible of being wrought and receiving a
, beautiful polish. It is almost exclusively employ?
ed for making tobacco pipes and segar holders. A
strange announcement has been put forth that it
may be substituted for the subnitrate of bismuth
in cholera tic diseases. Deposits of meerschaum
are very rare, which accounts for its high price.
Some veins, however, are found in the Paris basin,
at Chenevieres, in the environs of Madrid, but
these are, of little value compared with the articles
from Asia Minor, being too soft and fragile. The
mining of meerschaum is carried on largely at
Kiltchik, in Anatolia; the kind found there al?
though soft and greasy to the touch, when fresh,
becomes hard ana white in the fire.
. Soma obscurity exists still as to the mode of pre?
paring the crude meerschaum, nevertheless it is
known that the pipes made in Anatolia are mould?
ed. The crude earth is kneaded '-nd pressed into
molds, the article being then dnci in the sun and
hardened in the fire. It ia then boiled in milk,
dried anew and polished. The pipes thus molded
- oh the spot are, however, little ia demand-those
wrought in Germany or Belgium being much more
esteemed. The meerschaum which is to be ex?
ported i? prepared in Korrie, molded into blocks,
dried and slightly baked. After cutting ont, the
manufacturera are in the habit of submitting the
pipes to a preparation of wax, spermaceti or para
?ne. The chips are powdered, formed into a paste
with water, dried and hardened in the fire. The
pipes made from, this waste material are, however,
of an inferior quality, the first baking to which
the material was originally submitted haviug pro?
duced slight frittage, which renders subsequent
cohesion difficult to produce.
- Tho manufacture of meerschaum artificially has
been the object cf many researches. The follow?
ing method gives very good results when operated
San intelligent and skillful chemist. It is found
simply upon the double decomposition of solu?
ble alkaline silicates by sulphate of magnesia.
One pound avoirdupois of sulphate of magnesia is
dissolved in about a quart of water. Two quarts
of Solution of soluble silicate of density 125 is
poured into this, both liquids being at about 170
degrees Fahr. The product is a gelatinous pre?
cipitate, which is long washed, first with boiling,
then with cold water; until all alkaline sulphate is
removed: then poured into ?stone or zinc trough
and dried at a temperature of not over 1000 Fahr.
The mass thus produced is compact, friable and
very similar to the natural meerschaum, and is
susceptible of being manipulated and manufac?
tured in the saifle way as the latter. For some
years M. Wagner bas obtained good results by a
different method. He incorporates with one part
of casino, six parts of calcinated magnesia, and one
SLT t of ozyd of zinc. Upon drying this mixture,
ere results a material of lustrous whiteness,
very hard, susceptible of being cut and polished,
and which perfectly simulates the natural meer?
schaum,
WHAT THE SOUTHERN RADS SAY OF MILITARY
GOVERNMENT.-The Southern Repubbcan Associa?
tion, at its mooting here last night, did not show
much favor for the new congressional military plan
for governing the South. In speeches made,
Senator Fowler, of Tennessee, expressed his dis?
approbation; . Colonel Ross, of Missouri, did not
think it right to put the people of the South under
military despotism; and General Jack Hamilton,
of Texas, said the bill was a ounningly-devised
soheme, a pretence to do something by a Congress
which had failed to meet its pledges, and looked to
purchasing the fidelity of military officers, which
was not worth the price, some being tyrants by
nature, and others by circumstances. Others
i however, as Mr. Griffin, of Mobile, Ala., Judg(
Halstead, of Louisiana, Judge Sherwood, ot Texas
favored military government.
Finally, resolutions offered by Mr. Field, of
Miss., were adopted, declaring', first, th at all
rebels have forfeited the right of being protected
by the Government, and have forfeited their politi"
cal rights; second, that justice should be done thc
loyal citizens of the South; that national dignity
and s'ecurity demand that in any plan of recon?
struction adopted by Congress disloyal persons
should be ignored; third, that any unregistered
or disloyal person maybe restored to citizenship
by the recommendation of the State Legislature
after full reorganization end the approval of Con?
gress. Another resolution, offered by Mr. Heis
land, was also passed, de-uaring that the plan of
reconstruction will not be acceptable which does
not provide for civil govei7__ient in conjunction
with the military power. It is announced, in ad?
dition, that General Hamilton and the Southern
loyalists of his stripe will hold a public meeting
to oppose the military scheme.-Sun.
Tar: ENGLISH BAB-British lawyers are divided
into L?verai classes-the attorney who ?B called a
solicitor when engaged m proceeding in equity
and proctor is the ecclesiastical and perogatife
and probate courts ; the barrister, who is called
advocate m Scotland, and the special pleader It
is necessary that a man should sen e five years ap
pren^ceship to a duly qualified master, and pay
HO: hundred doUars a stamp duty on the indenture
of the " articles" under which he passes into and
through such servitude, and finally paBs a Bevcrc
examination before he can become an attorney
He must have his name entered for three years ?t
an Lon of Court in London or Dublin, and keep his
?'.terms'' Nr three years before he can bo admitted
as a barrak ar or hscensed as a special pleader
A Scottish advocate, or an Irish barrister, how?
ever eminent, cannot plead in any English Court
the House of Lords excepted, which is the nation?
al Court of ultimate appeaL -When Brougham,
after a few years' trial, found that his progress at
the Scottish bar was likely to be slow, he became
an English barrister, but had to wait thc usual
time as a nominal student at Lincoln's Inn before
he was called to the English bar. Mr. Whiteside
or Mr. Batt, now leaders of the Irish bar, cannot
hold a brief in England without being "caned" to
the English bar after a wait of two years as "stu?
dents at law," and even then must pay $600 as
stamp duty upon the certificate of his admission,
though he had previously paid the same sum whon
admitted to the Irish bar.

Cromwell's Dissolution of thc Rump Par?
liament.
Tho 20th of January, 1G53, is the date of thiB
memoniblo event. Tho Parliament by which
CIIAIUXS i. had boon met and overcome, had
dwindled down by various purgations to about
fifty-three members, who aimed at becoming a
sort of mild oligarchy for thc administration of tho
commonwealth. They were d?lib?r?t: ig on a bill
for the futuro representation, in which they should
have a permanent place, when CROMWELL resolved
to make an end of them. It was tho last incident
in the natural series of a revolution, placing mili?
tary power abovo all other.
Cromwell having ordered a company of musketeers
to follow him, entered tho House iii "plain black
clothes and worsted stockings," and sitting down,
listened tor a while to their proceedings. Hearing
at length the question put that tho bill do pass, he
rose, put oil* lus hat. and began to speak. In the
courso of his address he told thom of their self
seeking and delays of justice, till nt length Sir
Peter Wentworth interrupted him with a remon?
strance against mich language. Then blazing up,
he said: "Wo have had enough of this; I will put
an end to your- prating."
Stopping into tho lloor of tho House, and clap?
ping on lus hat, ho cominonced a violent harangue,
which he occasionally emphasized by stamping
with hi3 feet, and which came mainly to this: "It
is not fit you should sit here any longer-you have
sat too long for any good you havj beon doing
lately. You shall now give placo to better men."
"Call them in I" he exclaimed, and Iiis officer, Har?
rison, and a filo of soldiers, entered the House.
Then proceeding: "You are no Parliament ! Some
of you aro drunkards"-bending a stem oyo upon
Mr. Chalonor; "some of you are-," a word ex
Sressive of a worso immorality, and ho looked at
[enry Martin and Sir Peter Wentworth, "living in
open contemp? of God's commandments. Some of
you aro corrupt, unjust persons; how can you be a
Parliament for God's people? Depart, I say, and
let us have done with von. Go !"
Ho lifted his maco from the tablo and gave it to
a musketeer, to bo taken away. Ho caused Harri?
son to give Iiis hand to Speaker Lenthal and lead
him down from tho chair. Tho members, cowed
by his violence and tho sight of his armed men,
moved gloomily out of the House. " It is the
Lord that hath caused me todo this," he said.
" I have sought that ho would rather slay me than
put me upon doing this work." Sir Harry Vano
ventured a remonstrance. " Oh, Sir Harry "Vane,"
exclaimed the Lord General, " the Lord deliver me
from Sir Hairy Vane !" Whom all had gone out,
he came out too and locked tho door. Irom that
time he was master of the three kingdoms for'
about five and a half roars.

A Gay Deceiver.
Tho elder Weller once admonished Iiis son
Samuel to beware of the widders," and added
tho opinion that "one widder was equal to five
and twenty single gals, in the pint or coming it
over you." This mar be true in Her Britanic Ma?
jesty's dominions, where gullible gentlemen aie
supposed to be numerous, but in this great (?)
and glorious (?) and bappy~(?) and free (?) coun?
try, without moaning to disparage the smartness
of our American widows, we nave numerous sharp
thorns in pifurcated integuments, who would give
Sam Weller's smartest widow the odds of a pawn
and two moves and then beat her out afterwards.
An instance of this has lately come to light, which
proves this assertion, and proves to what extent a
widow can be deceived.
On one of the streots of this city resides a widow
whom, for prudential roasons, we will call Mrs. V.
The lady was left a widow about three rears ago;
an ounce of lead had penetrated Mr. V.'s lungs,
and Ilia few remaining dare were passea in a hos?
pital. Mrs. V. never saw him after the evacuation
of this city, and was a widow some months before
she knew "it. Except the ho.iso she lived in, some
jewelry, and a lot of comfortable furniture, thore
was little of the world's goods left to hor, but apart
fi om the fact that she had to struggle for food and
raiment for herself and little ones, she was quito
comfortable Mrs. V. was lonely, and determined
to relieve that lonoliness and increase her income
by talcing one or two boarders. Accordingly she
let it be known that for a reasonable compensation
she would provide snug quarters for one or two
single gentleman who were willing to exchange
I references.
In due time a very respectable-looking individual
"f about five and forty, who was soberly dressed,
and who represented himself as a quiet bachelor in
quest of a quiet home convenient to his business,
presented himself, and being a stranger, was un?
able to give city reference, but could give any re?
quired reference in New York. Mrs. V. was well
pleased with his.appearance, deportment and con?
versation, and concluded to toko him in, this nice,
quiet bachelor, and accordingly so informed him.
Some little bargaining was then made as to tho
price of board, she charged him just fifty cents
per woek more than he wanted to pay, remarking
that as a strictly just man he always drove a close
bargain, but always stuck to it.
Mrs. V., unwilling to lose so quiet and gentle?
manly a boarder, finally consented to the reduc?
tion; he was duly installed in a snug room, the
best carpet, the best bed, and a comfortable arm?
chair being prominent features therein. He sur?
veyed his domiciL expressed himsej * delighted,
and delighted Mrs. V. by handing over two weeks'
board in advance.
He gave his na-nc as Turpin, talked much of his
business, and led the lonely widow to believe that
I he was a man of considerable means and of great
business qualifications. His plausible manners
and smooth tongue soon won for bim tho friend- -
ship and esteem of not only the lonely widow, but
of all her friends, who had called and cultivated
the acquaintance of the quiet bachelor, but thor?
ough business man.\
Ia a short whilo he began to speak of Mrs. V. to
her friends as "such a nice lady," and on one or
two occasions volunteered the opinion that "she
was devilish good-looking." This, of course, roach?
ed Mrs. V.'s ears, as it was intended, and there is
little doubt but the lonely widow began to think,
though shadidn't say it, that Mr, T. was a devilish
nice man. By-and-by he began to talk to Mrs. V.
about her lonely situation. Next, he got to haring
his right paw on his left breast, and then ho would
1 raiso m's eyes ceiling-wardB, and "sigh like a fur?
nace," which meant "love" as plain as the lan?
guage could speak it. To ebor ton tho story, Mr.
T. proposod, tho widow accepted, and the wedding
was to have taken place last Wednesday a week
ago. During the courtship ho paid several visits
to his Now York house, and always carno back
dehghted with the largo business that was being
done there.
Every arrangement was made for tho wedding,
the company was invited, and things wero pro?
gressing finely; a house-keeper was engaged to
uike caro of things at home whilo the happy couplo
went off on theil* bridal tour, and everybody was
delighted. .Wednesday morning came and every?
thing was bustle; Mrs. V. was busy, one or two of
her mtimate friends were busy, and things wore
progressing finely. The subject of cake and such
"firms" was undertaken by Mr. T. "just to holp,"
I and during the day he called Mrs. V. one side and
remarked that as she might feel some little deli?
cacy in allowing him to pay for the confections,
she could give him thirty dollars to pay for them,
and to-morrow you can pay youreeir back from our
pocket-book.
Mrs. V. handed over the thirty dollars, Mr. Tur?
pin said he would proceed at once - to pay the bill
and order tho things up. He returnedabcut din?
ner time,' and remarked that thc articles would
arrive about i P. M. "Oh I thooro is another matter
to be attended to," said he; "your watch and chain,
and indeed your jewelry generally, is a little tarn?
ished, and Freeman can rub them up in hali an
hour, and make them look like new." Happr
thought; I and the widow was delighted to think
what a thoughtful, accommodating man her sec?
ond husband was. She placed her watch and
trinkets in his bauds, and he started off to haro
them rubbed up; but that was the last Been or
heard of bim, or the thirty dollars, or the watch
and tri ?kets._ i
The guests'came in the evening, but there wero
no confections to give them, there was no groom,
and thore was no wedding; but tho poor deluded
and swindled widow was there with but seventy
five cents in her pocket to buy bread for herself
and little ones. The'inean, sneaking, contempti?
ble sinner stripped his victim pf money and effects
to the tune of S200, besides owing six weeks'
board, which Mrs. V. did not like to call on him
for under rho circumstances. Tony Weller would
have had uo occasion to caution Sam against such
"widders;" but if Sam had been a widow it would
hare been prudence to caution her against aged
gay deceivers with two or threo stores that no
oay knows anything about.

THE OCEAN LEVELS.-It has long boon tho popu?
lar idea, prevailing to a considerable extent, that
the water in tho Pacific Ocean is higher than that
in the Atlantic. But modern science has demon?
strated this tobe erroneous. Col. Totten, while
engineer of the Panama Railroad, artur a series of
careful tidal observations taken at Panama and As
pinwall, connectod with accurate levels along the
One of railroad, found the mean height of tho two
oceans to bo exactly the samo. Owing to the diff?

MESSES, OEIOKKETNO & SORB-Gents: I have much
pleasure in enclosing a document signed by the first

cate) that I felt lt my duty to take ono of them with me
to Europe, to ascertain the opinion of my profese iona)
brethren. The enclosed certificate will prove how
unanimous they have been on the subject. I beg to

not merely the best instrument cf American manufac?
ture that I bave tried, bat one of the fiaest Grand Piano?
fortes that has ever como under my coservation; and
the Messrs. Ohiokeriug may well bo proud of. having
turned out from their manufactory an instrument
which, for touch, quality, power and workmanship, it
would be very difficult to nur pass in any part of the
wide world.

Among the chief points of excellence of the Chicker?
ing Pianos, of which speak the renowned artists in their
congratulatory testimoni?is to the Messrs. Chickering,
are the greatest posslbio depth, richness and volume of
tone, combined with a rare brilliancy, clearnes8 and
perfect evennesa throughout the entire scale; and,
above all, a surprising duration of sound, the pare and
sympathetic quality of which never changes nuder the
most delicate or powerful touch.
During the past forty-three years this firm has mann
actured
80,000 PIANOS,
In the construction of which they hive in trod need every
known and valuable Improvement They have invaria?
bly boen selected aud used by all of the world's ao
knowledged great artists who have visited thia country
professionally, both for private and public use.
THALBERG.
I consider Chickering A Sons' Pianos, beyond com?
parison, the beat I have ever seen in America.
GOTTSCHALK.
I consider Ohickerlng & Sons' Pianos superior to any
in the world.
They are unrivalled for their singing qnanties and for
the harmonious roundness of their tone. There ls a
perfect homogeneity throughout all the registers. The
upper notes ore remarkable for a clearness and purity
which I do not find in any other instrument, while the
base ia distinguished for power without harshness, and
for a magnificent sonority.
AVEULI.
Tour Pianos are superior to any I have ever seen in
thia country or in Europe.
I have never hoard a tone so perfect; lt yields every
expression that ls needed In music, and Its quality ia
capable of change to meet every sentiment. This ls a
rare power, and ls derived from the perfect parity of
its tone, together with its sympathetic, elastic and well
balanced touch.
POZNANSKI.
During the past eight years I have constantly played
upon the Justly celebrated Erard Pianos; yours are the
only instruments that I have fonnd, either here or in
Europe, to equal them in all their points of excellence,
It may be satisfactory to oar patrons and friends
among the publioat large to state that testimonials have
been received from all the leading artists who have
visited or are how residing In the United States, a few ol
whose names, besides those above, we append:

LIVER COMPLAINT AND DYSPEPSIA
It le estimated that seven-tenths of all adult ailments
proceed from a deceased and torpid liver. The biliary
secretions of the liver overflowing into the stomach p ol?
son the-entire system and exhibit the above symptoms.
After long research, we are able to present the most
remarkable cure for these horrid nightmare diseases,

hundred and forty thousand persons have taken the
PLANTATION BITTERS, and not an instance of complaint

It is a most effectual tonio and agreeable stimulant,

A FEW WORDS OF COMMON
ii] SENSE.. ;. ;
How few there axe who arc not subject t? some affection
of the lungs or respiratory organs, who, by neglecting
premonitory symptoms, aggravate tho 'complaint, until
disease strikes ita shafts, causing inexpressible torturo
of the patient, and anilely and distress to friends. "Only
a coldl" "A slight sore throat!" is the heedless remark
of many when so affected. Tea ; "Only a cola,", was the
thoughtless expression of thousands whom Heath has
marked for his prey. :?? \
Forewarned-Forearmed ! should bo the motto forever
in the minds of all subject to Coughs, Colds, Catarrh, or
TnfhiCTiEft, Words of advice should be heeded by all But?

within their reach'; and, if neglected, fatal consequences
ensue-a life of misery-a daily, hourly struggle for ex?

^EXCELSIOR" SPRING WATER.
fl THE WATEE OF THIS SPRING IS BELIEVED TO
X be unequalled by that of any other in file far-famed
valley, of Saratoga. Its virtues are such as have secured
it the high enoomiums of ail who have used it, possess-.
lng, ss it does, in an eminent degree, cathartic, diuretic,
alterative and tonio qualities.
From SAMUEL HENEY DICKSON, M. D., Professor
Practice of Physic, Jefferson Medical College, Phila?
delphia, formerly of Charleston, S. a : ;
PHILADELPHIA, November 15,1865.
I have been far a year or more past in the habit ot
taking the water of the "Excelsior*? Spring of Saratoga.
Accustomed during the great portion of my invalid lila
to use tho different waters of the several fountains which
bcdl np along that remarkable valley, dependent, Indeed,
upon them for much of tho comfort I enjoy, I sm natis
fied that the Excelsior Water is as well adapted cs any
other among them, if not more so, to the purposes for
which they are generally employed. It is very agreeable,
strongly impregnated with the carbonic acid, lively and
sparkling. * * . I can. heartily and conscientiously
recommend it to aB who need a gentle cathartic and
diuretic. SAMUEL HENEY DICKSON, M. D.
. The Water ls put up in Pint and Quart bottles, and
packed in good order for shipping, Pints .in boxe* af
four dozen each, and Quarts in boxes of two dozen each.
