We'attended the meeting of the Trus-tees
of this Institution on Tuesday last at
Greensborough. About twenty members
of the Board were present, and the proceed-ings
of tho meeting, exhibited great una.
nimity and a strong purpose to meet prompt-ly,
as Christian men should, the calamity
which has befallen the College.
Jt was unanimously resolved to rebuild
the Institution at once, on a scale to meet
the pressing want* of the times. A build-ing
committee was appointed with plenary
powers to proceed at once to make the nec<
essary arrangements for rebuilding, to be
limited in their operations only by the
amount of funds secured.
Rev. Dr. Closs was appointed Agent to
collect.the funds, and Rev. President Jones
was appointed Agent to assist him in that
work, so far as his other duties would allow,
and they have commenced operations with
most encouraging sucoess.
Groat anxiety was felt to continue the
operations of the College if a suitable loca-tion
and building could be temporarily ob
tained. The Messrs. Foald of Olin College,
J. W. Thomas, Esq., of Glenn Anna Semi,
nary and tho Trustees of the Oxford Ma.
sonic College, tendored to us their buildings,
for the continuance of the School. Owing
to various causes the Trustees could make
no decision, but put the whole matter in
the hands of the President of the College
and tho Advisory Committee. If they
should determine to re-open the School in
any short time, due notice will be given.
Wo were glad to find the people of
Greensboro greatly interested in the early
resuscitation of the school. Its citizens
bad subscribed 820,000 and tho subscrip-tion
was running up. Nothing has occur-red
among us to wakon such general sym-pathy
as the burning of the College. Every
one calls for prompt rebuilding. Nor is
this feeling confined to North Carolina.
Expressions of the deepest sympathy have
come from our friends in Virginia.

_DIED,
In Camp Winder Hospital, Va., on the 12th of
July, 18U3, of disease contracted in Camp, Sergeant
Jabez Huat, of Co. F, '2nd N. C. Cavalry, Mr. Hunt
was among the first to leave his home, his aged
parents and everything that was near and dear
to him, and take up arms in defence of his country.
His last visit to bis home was in February last, al-though
in feeble health, he returned to his company,
in accordance with his furlough, and was soon sent
to tho Hospital where he lingered for five months
until death relieved him of his suffering. Jabez was
generous, high-toned, intelligent and brave, and
during his service in the army won the admiration
of his officers, and the friendship of his associates.
At home no man could have been more popular. His
remains were brought home by his brothe-in-law
and sister, Mr. and Mrs. Gardner, and now quietly
rests in the Church grave yard at Friendship in sight
of his home, while bis spirit has taken up its abode
in the bright mansions above. S. H. H.
At Hillsdnle, on the 1st of August, 1863, Mrs.
Sarah J., wife of Anselom Reid, Esq., in the 29th
year of her age. The deceased passed a most se-vere
and trying illness of some six months duration,
which she bore with heroic courage, and christv.in
fortitude. She was completely resigned to death,
though her ties to earth were strong and te.nder,
having a most kind and attentive husband., who
ministered at her bed side during her entire sick-ness,
and kind and sympathising friends, who alle-viated
the pangs of disease as far as possible. She
has passed away with the dewy morn of young life,
when all its flow«r9 were opening in glory out before
her, thus illustrating that the son of God cometh at
an hour which we least expected him. The Bible wrfs
her constant and consoling companion, the fountain
from wtich her life's current seemed to flow. Her
memory lingers about us like the oder of withered
■lowers. The vase is shivered and broken, but the
rose's oder is around it still.
Ran over by the train while guarding the James-town
bridge on the 8th of July, 1863, (by allowing
himself to fall asleep on the track,) and almost in-stantly
killed Lieut. Paris Chipman Stuart, aged 29
years, and II days. He was an amiable estimable
man, a devoted husband and father, and leaves a lov-ing
wife and child, a widowed mother and many rela-tions.
His. bereaved wife will mourn his loss as a
faithful and loved companion and kind friends will
drop a tear of sympathy over his untimely grave.
At the residence of Charles Overby, in this county
on Friday, the 7th instant, Mrs. Jane Hardin, in
the 2ord year of herage, and wife of William Har-din.
The deceased, when taken sick was on hex
way to visit her husband, a member of Co. M.,22nd
regiment, who was sick in hospital at Raleigh.
Should this meet his eye, his present location not
being known, so as to enable friends to write, the
bereaved husband may learn that his affectionate
wife died among friends ; that during her illness her
every wish wa» gratified, and kind attentions be-stowed,
and that her departure from earth's troubles
was easy with full assurance of immortal bliss.
At the residence of her husband in Catawba coun-ty.
July 19th, 1S63, Mrs. Emily C. Lind»ay, consort
of Dr An Irew Lindsay. The deceased was born in
Rockingham county, N. C, 1841, alter her marriage
to her now grief stricken husband, she removed to
Catawba county whore she resided until called by
the (Treat Giver of all blessings tc exchange this
world ofsorrow for one of bliss and happiness. She had
made preparation to enter the gates of the celestial
city alone before her early and lamented death.
" All her ways were ways of pleasantness, and her
paths were paths of peace." She often during her
brief but painful illness expressed a desire to go to
Jesus, almost the last words that she said were as
follows: Jesus can make a dying bed feel soft as
downy pillows are while on his breast I'll lean my
head and breath my life out sweetly there. Blessed
aie the dead that die in the Lord, yea sayeth thy
spirit they rest upon their labors and their works
do follow them.

aged nearly 12 months.
"Suffer little children to come unto me, and forbid
them not, for of such is the kingdom of heaven."

bravely contending with the enemy, A. H. Dorsett,
("o. II, 38th N. I'. T., agc.l about23 yean. The de-ceased
possessed many good traits of character, be-i:

In Jamestown, of Diptheria, after an illness of 4
days, on the 8th of August, GURNEY OSCAR, son
ol J. II , and M. M. Johnston, aged C years and 6
months. Ho bore his affliction without a murmur
and retained his senses to the last, and on the morn-ing
of his death told his Pa h© must go, and was
asked where : he said to heaven, and just before he
died he called for the family not in sight, took them
by the hand, kissed his parents and died like a lamb,
without a struggle,

An Act to Punish Aiders and Abettors
of Deserters.
SECTION I. Be it enacted by the Gener-al
Assembly of the State of North Caroli-na,
and it is hereby enacted by the author-ity
of the same, That any person who
shall knowingly aid, assist, harbor or
maintain, under any pretence whatever;
any doserter from the military service of
the State or of the Confederate States,
shall be guilty of a high misdemeanor, ana
upon conviction thereof in the Superior

person who shall under any pretence what-ever
» knowingly aid, assist, harbor or
maintain any person enrolled and ordered
to report for duty as a conscript, in refasi
ing to obey such order, shall be guilty of a

CHARLESTON, S. C.—Unpleasant as may
bo the reflection, the friends of that noble
city should begin to prepare themselves to
receive the tidings of its destruction
We hope for the bsst, but with the news
before ns it is evident that the enemy are
prepared to destroy it at the distance of
five miles, the post now occupied by them,
for twelve shot have already been thrown
into the city by way of demonstrating
their ability to destroy it when they are
disposed to do so.
But, should the city of Charleston fall,
that should not discourage true men. The
loss of Charleston cannot work as seriouj
an injury to our cause as was the loss of
Norfolk and the destruction of that noble
ship which fell into the hands of Com.
Tatnall for destruction. The wounding of
the noble Buchanan was the parent of all
the rain that followed.
In Beaurogad and the noble veterans
under bis command, approved and directed
Charleston.
The telegraph reports Fort Surater to
bo in a pile of ruins, having been reduced
by the cannonading from the enemy's land
batteries and his fleet. The enemy is ma-king
regular approaches to Battery Wag-ner.
Several eight-inch Parrott shells have
been thrown in the city, but no one hurt.
Gen. Beam egard, in a communication to
the federal oemmander characterized this
shelling as an inhuman violation of the
rules of war.
THE STANPARD.—In our last, we were
guilty of inadvertence, in publishing the

will nght to the last, and if it must be done
they will surely offer up the Queen City of
the South as a smoking sacrifice to the God
the army resolutions until it was too late
to be corrected. We intonded no personal
offence.
If a young gentleman who pretends to
discharge the duties of post master at a
point between this place and Salem, on the
way route, does not mend his ways we
may be induced in accordance with the
popular wish of his community to expose
him in a manner tho necessity of which we
regret. Gross carelessness and inatten-tion
to business, however, aro as culpabje
as dishonesty. Though the latter discrep-ancy
is not charged against him.

THE POLITICAL CAUCUS AT ROCHESTER.—
A telegram from Rochester, 19th, gives the
resolutions adopted at the Conservative
Convention, at Rochester. Tbe resolutions
affirm—
1st. That this meeting favors an associa-tion
of conservative Union men for the
next Presidential campaign, and invites
the co-operation of all opponents of seces-sion,
abolitionism or nativism of any kind.
" Our abiding purpose is tbe suppression of
the rebellion, maintenance of the Union,
adherence to the Constitution, fidelity to
the Government, enforcement of the laws
and opposition to foreign intervention."
2nd. Provides for a National Committee,
who shall call a National Convention, Ac,
and confer with other conservative organi-zations,
for tbe purpose of securing united
action.
3rd. Advocates a " vigorous and ■ucceas-ful
prosecution of the war against the peo-ple
in a state of military insurrection, until
they return to tbe Union, under their re-spective
State Constitutions existing at
the time they revolted."
4tb. Defines the rights of the people of
any State who are in insurrection, upon re-turning
to their allegiance, &c.
5th. Declares that " the rights of proper-ty,
whether in lands, personalty, or slaves
in tbe States are exclusively within the au-thority
and jurisdiction of the States re-spectively.
6th. The sole end for which the United
States Government has power to carry on

BELGIUM ANO THE AMERICAN WAR.
BRUSSELS, Aug. 6.—The King of the
Belgians gave an audience to-day to Mr.
Jewett, the American friend of mediation.
Tho King permits tho publication of tho
substance o' tho interview. The King
believes that the decision of a just tribunal
offers the only means for tbe restoration of
peace. Tho abolition of slavery, if stipu-lated
for at all, should bo gradual. Ame-rica
and Europe should together make
provision for the slave. Mediation is not
interference.
The other Governments should not be
unwilling to join France in working on
the interests of peace, now that the South
favors such a policy; that humanity and
the interests of the world bas, in a gene-ral
peace, invited friendly action. Fores
cannot secure the welfare of America ; that
an international judgment would cement
forever tho foundation pillar of American
liberty ; that he would submit the matter
to the Uueen of Great Britain.

PRINTING WITHOUT INK.—A gentleman,
a large capitalist, and one of tbe most
successful inventors of the day, bas sucee-ded
in chemically treating the pulp, dur-ing
the process of manufacturing printing
paper, in such a manner that, when the pa-per
is impressed upon the unlnked types,
the chemical particles are crushed and a
perfect black i repression is the result. The
advantago sought to be obtained is tbe
discarding of ink and rollers, and by
revolutionizing printing machinery, and
printing from a continuous roll of paper it
is calculated that tbe time occupied is im-impressing
largo quantities of paper will be
nominal in comparison to the requirement
of the present day. Cleanliness in the
printing office would thus become pro-verbial,
and the time now wasted in making
and distributing the rollers obviated. We
have been assisting this gentleman in some
parts of tho experiment, and further infor-mation
is withheld at his request until
letters patent shall be obtained.
