We think says a Western editor.it is high time that 1 Cousin Sally Diliard,' 4 Captain lice ' and Mose,' we re again brought to the memory olthe public. We have read and laughed at the narra tion at least twenty times, and should not fuil Ur enjoy it, were it to come under our notice daily for a year lo come. The scene is a court of Jus tice in North Carolina. A beardless disciple of Themis rises and thus addresses the court. May it please your worships, and you gentle men of the jury ; since it has been my fortune ! good or lad, I will not say to exercise in le- ; irnl acqui-ition, it has never befallen me to be ! ol.lied to prosecute, so direful, marked and ma- I licious an assault : a more wilful, violent and dangerous- battery ; and finally, a more diabolical ! breach of peace has seldom happened in a civiliz- ! ed country ; and I dare say it has seldom been iiur duty to pass upon one so shocking to hi nevu- j lent feelings as this which took place over at Cnpt. Rice's in this county. Bui you will hear from the w ituesses.' The witnesses being sworn, two or three were examined and disposed of: one said lie heard the noise aud did not see the fight: another tint he 1 seed the row, but did'nt know who struck first : and a third that he was very drunk, and could'nt say much about the sk rummage. Lawyer Chops. I am very sory, gentlemen, to have occupied your time with the stupidity of the witnesses examined, ll arises gentlemen, al together from misapprehension on my part, iiuu 1 known, as I do, that 1 had a witness here, ac quainted with the circumstances of the case, and able to m;ke himself clearly understood by the court and jury, 1 should not long have trespassed your tuue and patience. Come forward aud be swora. So forward comes the witness, a fat, cliufFy old man, a 1 lectle ' corned, and took an oath with an air. C. Harris, we wish you to tell about the not j that happened, the other di.y, at Captain Rice s, and as a great deal of time has already been was ted in circumlocution, we wish you to be com pendious, and at the same time as explicit as pos sible. Harris. Adzactly (giving tho Lawyer a knowing wink, at the same time clearing his throat) ('apt.

I told Cousin Sally Diiiaid thnt luy Hife nhe nrna poorly, being how she hnd the rheumatics in the h:p, and the big swamp was lip, tor there had been a heap of rail! lately, but howsomever, as it was she, Cousin Sally Di'lard, my wife she mou! go. She then axed me if Mose he was foreman ol the crap, and the crap was smartly in the grass, but howsomev er, as it was she, Cousin Sally Diliard, Mose be RKMll go.' C. In the name of common sense, Mr. Harris, what do you mean by this rigmarole ? W. Capt. Rice, he gin a treat, and Cousin Sal ly Diliard, she come over to our house and axed me if my wife she mout'nt go. I told Cousin Sally Diliard - Stop, sir, if you please ; we don't want to h-ar anything abut Cousin Sa'ly Diliard, or your wife; tei! us about ihe figbt at Rice's. W. Well. sir. 1 will, that is, if vou will let mo. C. Well, sir, go on. W. Weil, Capt.

Well, sir, what no you want ? C. We want to know about the fight and ou musl not proceed to this impertinent story. Do you know anything about the matter before the court .' W. To be sure I do. C. Well you go on and tell it and nothing , els-. W. Capt. Rice gin a treat C. This is intolerable. May it please the court, I move that this witness be committed lor a contempt ; he Meats to be trifling with the Court j Tin Court. Witness, you are now before the court ol Justice, and unless you behave yourself in i a more becoming manner, you will be put in jail; ' no bgin and tell what you know about the! tight at Capt. Rue's. W. (alarmed) Well, gentlemen, Captain Rice, lie giu a Heal, and Cousin Sully Diliard she -f C. I hope this witness may be ordered into cus- 1 tody. C. (after deliberating.) Mr. Attorney, the court is of opinion Uiai we may 9ave time by al lowing the witness to go on his own way. Pro ceed, Mr. Harris, ith your story, but stick to the point. W. Well, Capt. Rice, gin a treat, and Cousin Sally Diliard come over to our house and ax d irn it my wife she mou go. i told Cousin Sal Diliard that my wile was poorly, as she had rheu matics in I be hip, and the big swamp was up but howsomever, as it was she, Cousin Sally Diliard, mv wife inout go. Well, Cousin sally Diliard then axed me if Mose he m out. I told Cousin Sally Diliard as how Mose he was foreman of the crap, ami the crap was smartly in the grass, but as it was she, Cousin Sally Diliard, Mose he mout go. So they goes on together, Mose, my wife aud Cousin Sally Diliard, and they come to the big swamp, aud it was up, as I was telling you, but being as how there was a log across the big swamp, Cousin Sally Diliard and Mose like genteel folks, they walked the log, but my wife like a darned fool, hoisted her coat and waded right through and that's all I know about the fight.

The Reconstruction of Poland. We find nothing in the news by the America relative to tho rumored intention upon the part ol the allies to re-establish the kingdom of Poland, and .'hat project, which at once enlisted sympathy upon this side of the Atlantic, will probably prove to have had no existence beyond the guesses ol those who are near enough to the diplomatic circles ol Lurope to give credit to surmises, without their authority being in truth a whit better than that of those who pretend to know nothing about such matters. The tall of Poland is one ol the romantic chapters of modern history, end its interest at once awakens attention and secures sympathy lor that unfortunate country. We have among us many who accept the opinion ol Kossuth that the Crimea must be conquered at Warsaw and not at Scbas topol, and though the allies are in the way of soon proving that the Crimea can be conquered much nearer home than at Warsaw, yet their faith in the assertion which Kossuth conveys in a simile is in nowise weakened. With these th- rumored reconstruction of the kingdom of Poland is at once accepted as a fact, and the events that are to result from it magnified into colossal impor tance. Nevertheless it is quite certain that the re-establishment of Poland does not form a part of the plan ol the allies, and that if such an event should occur at all p will be resorted tony Russia. the serious difficulty that at once presents itself in the i ,i .i . .i. ..n;o ; w.v i I t. rt v !irli nl'in -n t it) n-.i r ril 1mm ll 1 MPS IS .1 . .t. - . j :. . ... ,i... ,,f ilitti lliey CIIOIIUI UO 11 HI liic ii v. hostilities with Austria and Prussia. The tripar tite division of Poland assigned portions to Russia, Austria and Prussia. The latter powers, especially Prussia, already so coldly disposed toward the allies, it would be impossible to make" parties to a scheme that would deprive them of the'r portions in order that Russia might lose what she holds. The partial re-estab!ishment of the kingdom by the mere segregation ol Russian Poland, is an at- most equal impossibility, and would be as fertile in complications a it would be barren of results favorable to the allies. Austria would doubtless oppose any plan that threatened to convulse her Polish provinces and to rouse anew the Hunga rians. She would prefer war with the allies, and at once unite her forces with Russia to prevent that result. Btii, if it were possible that this difficulty could be overcome, Prussia, coerced into submission and Austria bought off with the gift of tho Southern provinces of which Russia is to be deprived as one of the "material guarantees" of the war, where would a Poland be found to reconstruct into a kingdom? Poland is a pame only. lino longer rMr. spns n existing oi.!ion. It is true the people of Poiaud, the descendants o! those who were Polanders, are there, but they are now Russians to all intents and purposes. They are peasants who have learned that they have only changed masters in becoming Russians, and that they base not lost their liberty, simply because they never possessed it. They would h ive as little interest in fighting for a re.estabUshment of Poland as in defence ot the Czar, and of the two would most likely do the latter. Tho government that they would ask would not suit the allies, no part of whose mission is the establishment of republics. Philadelplna Bulletin. Capture of tlse Venetian Bride.

A frightful massacree ensued ; not a life among the pirates was spared ; and ihe victors returned in triumph, with lln ir brides to the church of Oiivoio. A procession of the maidens of Venice revived for many centuries the recollection of this deliverance on the eve of the Purification. But the Doge was not satisfied with the punishment which he had inflicted on the Ltiiots. He entered vigorously upon the resolu tion of clearing the Adriatic of all the parties who infested it ; he conquered part of Dalmatia ; and he transmitted to his successors, with the ducal crown, the duty of consummating his design.

The Administration or Frank. Pierce. Ms. Editor : In the his'ory of our Government no Administration has encountered more violent opposition, or whose acts have been more thor oughly examined and scrutinized ihan that of franklin Pierce. The Whig press, from Maine to Texas, advocating all shades of public senti ment, and deeply imbued with all the miserable of the day, have not only bitterly assailed President Pierce, but misrepresented him and the inotiv. s which have actuated him in tho patriotic discharge of his official dories. No Democrat ob jects to a lair, unprejudiced, and impartial exam ination of his acts, and the sentence they merit at the hands of the people; satisfied of the rec titude of his intentions, and the justice they will receive at trie bar of public opinion. It would, indeed, be preposterous to suppose that any Ad ministration directed by sublunary beings could please everybody, or should be free from the com mission of error, when the Divine hand has created us all so imperfect and interwoven weakness and fallibility with our very natures. With due allow ance for the imperfections of our race, we present to the world the present Administration for its wis dom, its patno isrn, its nationality, its economy, its American reding, its strict guardianship over the interests of the country, and the glorious illus tration oi thoe principles purchased with blood i uu ueasure iu uie memo aui ! and treasure in the memorable struggle of 76. I The just and impartial historian when the narrow i . - - . prejudices of t lie times are eradicated, and reason and jus ice resume their throne, will record with his diamond pen the services of our part', and be stow upon Franklin Pierce the meed of und) ing praise.

' -""onisiruuon, men migru we iremoie lor it. n came nun power oy ine almost unanimous votce oi the people, wi'h no concealed principles, with no unknown creed for its guide; and it has acted in accordance with those principles, and in harmony with that faith. Its policy belore it came into ex istence wasclearly marked out in preceding Demo cratic Administration, and a reflection upon the present, is .dso an asp- rsion upon those of the past. If it be supposed that virulent language and noisy and impassioned declamation, supported by silly newspaper paragraphs can swerve the Administra tion and tiie Republican party from its high pur poses, the people sadly err. It niy be asked, v-hai has the Administration done ? What should entitle it to tire support of the merican people ? lias it not lorfei eil ail respeel by its domestic and foreign policy ? Such qinst ons when propounded for information aro an swered with pleasure. We wish to keep the w hole country enlightened in regard to our governmental policy. When interrogatories are asked in a taunt ing manner we refuse to notice the fault finding genius from whose contracted m! . 1 they emanate. It has never been tho obje.ci of the Democratic party to conceal aught from the public gaze, but to act boldly and openly. To answer the forego ing questions will now be my purpose. What has the Administration done? What should entitle it to the support of the American people- ? These are the questions that present themselves for consideration. It has certainly nd madness ol the mob, and vindicated the sane- 1 ti'y oUhe law, in the very midst of fanaticism. It ,s a,,eg d mon hdVe be(!" PPJPtJ f ce T Toi.g -i.u-oiaiy ,-iuenvaies. e pusuivciy deny it. Whatever may have been the antecedents of these government employees, they acquiesced in the Baltimore platform, thus approving the ad ons forms. Only such have received the honors and emoluments of office. Thus the administra tion is purely national strictly watchful of the States enforcing the laws of the country, and looking at harmony and union as the sure pre servers of national prosperity and greatness. Ag aiu : What has the Administration done? It has practised the strictest economy in all its ex pen 'htu re. It has refused to lavish and waste the puhlic monies in works of doubtful utility. It has opposed an extravagant system ol local improve Ill' n's. It has peremptorily relused to squander millions of dollars in upholding the log rolling sys tem. Il has vetoed the River and Harbor Bill up on the grounds of unconstitutionality. Whilst it recognized iff that BUI many improvements of a national character it recognized ronre of a State and local character. Large sums of money were embraced in that bill, for building custom-houses on an extravagant scale, merely to adorn and beautify cities, and increase the value of property. President Pierce in no instance hesitated to sign appropriations when the improvements to be made were national. The difference between the two parties on this slsject is, the Democracy approve a system of national improvements by the Federal Government, aud local improvements by the States, whilst the Whig party advocates both national and local by the United States Treasury. Here the difference is broad, and the wisdom and prudent economy of Democracy beaufully illustrated. What has the dmistrati on done? It has mark ed out for the countrv a foreign policy, bold, deci ded, and patriotic. It has vindicated our rights upon ihe very soil of despotic Europe. It his spoken to foreign nations in langunge not to be misunderstood, and clearly defined the privileges oi our citizens in every clime. It has done more it has wrested from the hands of despotism, a naturalized citizen, and brought him under oui ow n flag to these shores. It bas vindicated the honor of our name.ar.d the sicredness of our rights in Central America. It follows us on the sea, the ocean, the rivers, and on land with its aegis of protection, securing to us personal liberty and the inviolability of our privileges. It will not permit any power however potent to dishonor our flag, but wherever its folds float, or its stars beam, there is security and safety. No monarch dare infringer upon treaties, but every stipulation is to be observed. Such is the Administration of Frank lin Pierce, respected abroad for its high-toned hon or, its f'uardianship over the personal liberty of its citizens, and its promptness in demanding repara tion for violation of plighted faith, and a disregard of international duty. What has the Administration done? Much, very much. It has vetoed the Indigent Insane bill, thus giving us an assurance that the public lands will be kept in the hands of the nation for their legitimate purposes, to-wit: to defray the expens es of the government. The wild and visionary schemes of partizans will be thwarted, and the wisdom of Democratic measures fully acknow ledged. And now, sir, can it be asked what hns- the Ad ministration done? Rather may it not be asked what has it not done ? Opposition has assailed it in vain. It stands this day warm in the affections of the people. The new born sect the renowned Know Nothings the expiring breath of Whiggery the fleeting shadow of a great party is directing its opposition against it; but it still exists unscath ed, unharmed, and triumphant. You may denounce it you may invoke public opinion against it, but the masses w ill uphold it. Democracy has en countered defeat, but can never be annihilated ; whilst Whiggery is the premature child of a day ephemerul, temporary, and avanescent. Upon the sober judgment of the American people, it re lies for a candid and unprejudiced opinion of its merits. W. V. G. Elizabeth City, Oct. 17. Anotber Crisis. It is ascertained that the recent elections in the Northern States have resulted in the overthrow of the Democratic party ; but ihe full significance of the fact cannot be understood without a relerence to the circumstances of the canvass. The repeal of the Missouri restriction was no sooner effected, than an agitation for its restora tion was organized throughout the Northern States. In respaet both to the extent of its opera lions and the intensity with which it raged, this ngifation surpassed every antecedent anti-slavery movement. Every party and faction in the North suspended its peculiar jealousies and aims, and merged its individual existence in the great con feder'acy again Democracy. Whigs, Abo litionists, Free Soilers, Know roomings, mm xmnna Law men, were associated in the enterprise, and cordially co-operated in pursuit of a common ob ject. The immediate aim of the coalition was to se cure a representation in Congress, but their sub sequent movements were determined and pro claimed in advance. These are, the restoration of the Missouri restriction, the repeal of the fugitive slave law, and the establishment of the principle that no more slave States are to be admitted into the Union. Upon these issues the recent elections in the North were suspended, and the result satis fies us that an effort will be made to carry out the policy of the coalition. It is time the people of the South were prepar ing to resist this meditated assault upon their rights and institutions. We are admonished of the de signs of our enemy, and we have abundant oppor tunity for reflection and preparation. It is an indisputable fact, that the reverses which the South has heretofore sustained were precipita ted upon it by the divisions and dissensions of its ow n people. In no single struggle with Abolition ism has the South been thoroughly awakened and united. The nearest approach to unanimity was in tho recent contest touching the Nebraska bill, and the issue of that struggle should teach Southern men the necessity of harmony, and inspire thorn with a confidence in their strength when roused and concentrated. If we are true to ourselves we will command the sympathy and support of the patriots of ihe North, and will appeal our enemies hy an aspect of perfect unanimity and of resolute devotion to our rights. Congress would not dare to enact a measure against which the South pro tested with united voice. In view, then, of the crisis before us, it is of the first importance that men of all parties in the South, profiling by the example of the enemy, should so far suspend their mutual hostilities as to unite in a resolute resistance to the threatened attack of the Abolitionists. Every Southern rep resentative in Congress should oppose the re-enactment of the Missouri restriction ; for, whatever may be his view of the policy of its repeal, he cannot co-operate with the Abolitionists in the attempt to impose it upon the South again. By universal conc2ssion it was unjust to the South in the firsi instance, and it is certainly not less offen sive since it has been incorporated in a platform of anti-Slavery agitation. In regard to the pro jected repeal of the fugitive slave law, and the exclusion of slave States from the Union, the representatives and the people of the South will be animated by a common impulse of determined resistance. Firmness is not less essential than unanimity; and fortunately the struggle in which we are about to engage does not admit of any "compro mise" or "adjustment." A fter assuming its position the Soulh will have no alternative but uncondi tional surrender or resistance to the utmost ex tremity. Richmond Enquirer. Flour to Caina. This is a cheering feature, " California sending Flour to China," for instead of our gold leaving the country to pay for tea, su gar and spices, silks, shawls, and other necessa ries and luxuries, we send products of our soil and the labor of our hands. This is what builds up our State. Four thousand quarter sacks of Cali fornia flour from the Eureka Mills were sold yes lerday by the Messrs. Friedlander and Co., at satisfactory prices, (about &u per bbl.) to ship to China. Other shipments of like character will shortly follow ; and thus, at length, California has become an exporter of breadstuff. Sun Francisco Herald.

Chicago, Nov. H. Four Nebraska democrats have been elected to Congress by larjje majorities. The senate will be democratic. The house is doubtful.

N. C. Standard. Southern Literature John Mitchel, in his Citizen, writes the follow, ing words. The views are sound, and like every thing from his pen, aro forcibly expressed : "It has been to us a species of puzzle when we hehrd it boasted, or else complained of, (as the case might be,) that the reading public of the Southern States are in a great measure dependant for their periodical literature upon the North. Yet up to this present writing the circumstance may be easily accounted for. There are, perhaps, more men of li'erary leisure and of high educa tion in the South, proportionally to population, than Bt the North; but there is no such numer ous class who live by their literalure and educa tion. In the North there is, apparently, more business enterprise, having for its great im and end to supply that which is demanded at the low est possible penny, be it a rocking chair or a re vie jv a magazine or a threshing machine. Now, everything in this country is done upon commer cial principles, and stands upon the basis of cents. Southrons, too, are more indolent ; they have been content to gel everything made for them, whether in England or New England ; and, until of late, tbey lazily adopted the very habits of thought and phraseology which were moulded in the forms of British society and Anglo-Saxon civilization. They did nol sufficiently advert to the circum stance that this element was bitterly hostile to tnem anu mmr immuuuuo , ...... , . their languid insouciance, allowed it to operate long unchecked, it would end in the destruction of their whole social economy, iu the forfeiture of their property, in the casting them forth from tho family of 4civilized communities,' and, at last, in the cutting of iheir throat. Nothing short of this. "The South will not be able to endure tbjs kind of tampering any longer, and there is no occasion why it should. It can no longer spare its men of genius to minister to the Harpers and Putnams, like poor Edgar Poe, a sweet singer and cunning essayist, of whom the Virginia University was once proud, but whom New York and Philadel phia drove mad and starved. Neither can the South safely take any longer for its monthly read ing the platitudes of the abolitionists, who quote the Bible for the 'unity of the human race,' (which the Bible does not assert,) but contemn the same Bible as an authority for slavery, (upon which tho Bible is clear.) who have the (ace to appeal to Christianity, yet are ready to call the Apostle Paul a 'doughface,' because he returned a fugitive slave. Who take British opinion at their stand ard, and find excellence or utter abomination in everything American, precisely as it approaches or recedes Irom that sublime exemphr. There were great nations before the English ; there are greater nations than they over will be. There have been moralities unknown to Exeter Hall, and wisdom will not die with the writers of the Edin burg Review." For Kansas. Observing a number of trun'xs being lettered, if for a long journey, Saturday afternoon, wo made inquiry, and found that they were for a party about emigrating from Columbus county, to Kan sas Territory. The party consists of Messrs. Woodell, Ray and Due, with their families, in all about thirty persons ; and they take their depar ture for their new homes in the far West, during this week. They seem to be of ti e stuff of which emigrants to a new and forest country should bo composed ; and look forward to iheir journey's end, and the squatter life that is before them, with resolute spirit. In conversing with Mr. Woodell, he 6uid the party were fully aware of the step they were taking, and ol the difficulties ihey had lo en counter ; regretted that there were no slaves in the company ; but, said he, with a smile, 44wbcn the time for voting on the new Constitution comes, we shall give some Southern votes." While we are sorry lo see emigration still continuing from the old North State, our best wishes accompany this adventurous band on their journey west. May their fondest anticipations lie more than real ized, and may ihey find in their new homes pros perity and happiness. Wilmington Herald. 4 Aw, Doctaw, does the cholera awfect the big haw aw da ?' asked an exquisite of a celebrated phy sician in New Orleans. 4 No, replied the M. D., 4 but it's death on fools, and you'd better leave the city immediately.' The fellow sloped. Revival in England. It is stated that a great revival is in progress among the Episcopalians in England, and that a Rev. Mr. Aitkin, formerly a Wes!eyah preacher, now ranked as a high church man, is the principal agent in this work. The Leaves of the Beach Tree, collected in autumn, in dry weather, form an admirable arti cle for beds. The smell is grateful and whole some ; they do not harbor vermin, are very elastic, aud may bo replenished annually without cost.
