WISE. Know-Xothing journals have been pub lishing declaration purporting to have been made by Co-,. UTise, of Virginia, that the .tdiiuuist Dittos of Fillmore was "Washington-like throughout.'" and that he "was , lected Governor by 17,000 outside Whigs." Gov.

The Know-Nothings of Raleigh attempt ed to bold a ratification meeting in that city, March S. 'The "meeting" was a failure thinly attended not over three dozen present and many of them Democrats who had merely stopped to see what amid be said. John 11.

We have accounts of an earthquake at Jeddo, the capital of Japan, which recently occurred, by which the city was destroyed and 30,000 lives lost. Not long ago the total destruction of Jeddo might have oc curred almost unknown to the rest of the world; but now there is some ado about the loss of only a hundred thousand houses and of some thirty thousand people! But Jeddo is the second capital of Japan, and contain- one and a half millions of people, and i. therefore, only inferior to London and IN kin in the number of its population. '- DEPLORABLE ACCIDENT. The Colombia Times, of yesterday, con tains a dispatch from Philadelphia, stating that Oil Sunday last, the loth instant, a ferry boat crossing from the Jersey side of the Delaware to Philadelphia, took fire. Many of the passengers jumped overboard, thirty of whom are said to have been drowned. The vessel was burnt to the water's edge. CENTRAL AMERICA The steamer George Law arrived at New York on Saturday last from California, with 1 4200,000 in specie. The Nicaragua cor respondent of the Herald say 8 that a com mission of British and Nicaragua agents had met at Greytown, and settled satis factorily the difficulty relative to Mosquito. The treaty is now on the way to England for ratification. The Central American Governments had united against Walker, and hostilities would probably soon commence. Several Euro pean Governments had issued instructions to their Atlantic and Pacific squadrons relative to events in Central America. f - IMMENSE DESTRUCTION. The breaking up of the ice on the Missis sippi has caused the entire destruction of twenty-three valuable steamboats at St. Louis. The St. Louis Democrat gives n thrilling a tint of this event, from which we copy the following: opposite the central part of the city, crush ed into a common ruin by the overwhelm ing ma.-es of accumulated ice. Broken cables, chains with their links drawn to threads a few shattered spars alone remain to tell the story of stately vessels that were justly esteemed the pride of the western waters." trs RAIL-ROAD INCENDIARISM. u Wednesday night last a bridge over a creek a short distance east of HiUsboro', a structure about 25 feet high and 50 in length, on the N. ('. Central Rail-Road, was destroyed by fin and on Saturday night iast an attempt was made to burn Eno bridge, about two miles west of HiUsboro'. In both cases, there is no doubt the fire was communicated by a vile incendiary. In tin last case the fire was fortunately discovered and extinguished before it had made much progress. The kindling wood was not all consumed, and the man who had no doubt prepared it was seen running from the bridge as persons were approaching. The -nccess of the last attempt would have in volved the Company in a serious loss, as the bridge is a large and costly one. There is no detention of the cars by the loss of the bridge destroyed. A substantial trestle structure has been erected, on which the train safely pusses over. THE KANSAS EMIGRANTS. We invite attention to the "Appeal" of the Kansas Emigrants in to-day's paper. This, we learn, is their la-t effort for aid. The public meetings on the subject failed to accomplish the main object for which they were called, more from a want of con fidence and a knowledge of the persons who proposed emigrating, than from any want of interest in the cause. Now, those who may be disposed to lend their aid, have an op portunity of understanding the whole sub ject. At this late day of the question, we deem it unnece ary to add a word to show the importance to the South of emigration at this time to Kansas. A few voters, say a dozen from each of the counties of the Southern States, would be ample to protect Southern rights and to thwart the mischiev ous designs of our enemies, the abolitionists. I- not Mecklenburg aide and willing to send forward her share of the force necessary? Col. B. F. Treadwell, of South Carolina, has given a thousand dollars towards send ing enugranhi to Kansas. THE JULIEN MINSTRELS. This band of vocal and instrumental mu sicians and delineators of comicalities, en tertained our citizens with a performance every evening Kst week. Large numbers :ittei..b.,1 thn rWurf, 1 ..u I i; were pleased wit the entertainment. In addition to their merits as performers, they presented a claim to the liberal houses they rocoivrd from the fact that the Companv was formed entirely of Southern young men of talent, who had formed an Association for a tour through their own section of the Vuum After performing here seven nights th,iV tooj. leave yosterjav uloniing for CoJ- umbia, S.

This is "winter lino-Prino- . ., . o e in ttic lap ot spring." THE AGRICULTURAL SOCIETY, We are requested by the Secretary of the Mecklenburg County Agricultural So ciety to state that the names of Overman & Wilson were left out by inadvertence in the list of gentlemen who presented their pre mium money to the Society. These gentle men had gone to great trouble and expense in getting up an elegant Boggy for the fair, for which a premium was awarded; and now, in company with others, they have generously returned the amount to the trea- sury of the Society. It ia to be regretted rf J that the oversight occurred; but any one at all acquainted with the difficulty of report ing the proceedings of a body of this kind, will readily conceive how it happened. msV f t9 t s j SONS OF TEMPERANCE. We have received a communication ear nestly calling upon every member of the Order.of tho Sons of Temperance to meet at the Division room in Charlotte on Wed nesday (to-morrow) night. We decline its publication, because we know not whence it comes, and do not feel justified in calling the meeting without knowing our authority for doing so. We have more than once sta ted that authors must be known, to insure the insertion of their communications. Having no reason to doubt the good faith of the writer, we advise every Son of Tem perance to obey the call for a meeting on Wednesday night, DALLAS DEMOCRACY. We understand that our Dallas friends had a glorious meeting at rh ir Court House one dav last week uot yet seen .- Ivania De da V paper, and a report of their j riT'Kcad the --tA mocratic Platform contrast it with the milk and water, unin telligible, and an ti-12th section Platform re cently erected and adopted by the Fill, o rines at thu0.armonious Philadelphia Con vention. The Missing Steamers Pacific and ARCTIC. A new anxiety has taken pos session of the public mind in reference to the propeller Arctic, Com. Aartstein, which was sent in search of the Pacific. Her instructions were to run pretty far to the North after leaving Halifax, and the fear is that in executing orders she has encoun tered similar perils to those which are sup posed to have environed the Pacific. The Arctic has not been heard from since she -ailed from Halifax. It is suggested that the Arctic may have discovered the Pacific, but, so far, has been unable to approach her. The Rail-Road Barbecue. The people of Greensboro' have fixed upon the 4th of July for a celebration at that place of the opening of the North Carolina Rail-Road. It is the anniversary of "breaking ground." SHOE MACHINE. Jean Pierre Molliere, of Lyons, France, has invented a series of machines for the manufacture of shoes, with which, from I cutting out the uppers and soles, through all the processes down to polishing and burnishing the edges of soles and heels, (which finishes the article,) boots and shoes of every size and style are made with such facility that, while the shoemaker's mean price for making, say 98 pairs of men's shoes or boots, is $117.50, the mean price by the Molliere system for the same work, is );lfJ.72 which is equal to over 700 per cent, difference in favor of the machines. By the Molliere system it takes 170 persons, at farthest, to make and finish 1,000 pairs of boots and shoes of all kinds in a day, and they are men, women and children, of whom no superior artistic skill is required. To make and finish the same number of shoes and boots, by the old process, would require from 1,300 to 1,400 men and women, skilled in the trade. Farming in Texas. Small farming is a good business in Texas. The Houston Star says that a gentleman some years ago bought a small farm in that vicinity, on a j credit. lie was then over fifty years of age and in bad health, and had a family of some half a dozen of children to support. This gentleman has paid for his farm, and now makes annually over $1,000, with no otLer aid than that afforded by his own family. Those who expect "to do likewise," how ever, must calculate upon hard work and strict economy. d 4 I An I . . . . . tWM . . i W e learn that a iarmer near Gait (Canada ' ,,,,,,,, , c.-i. who iiiiu ovro oiisijeis 01 near, ror which he had been offered the high pri es of last seasoi hope (d . ut chose to keep it h the r . ! re. hung himself last I inner, near London, had id. which he had .

As the time draws nigh for the Emigrants to Kansas to leave, and so far nocontribu- tions have been made, it seems from the spirit thus shown to the Emigrant Aid Or ganization that Old Mecklenburg cannot be j aroused to a sense of her duty; but we i know full well that there are some patriotic ! a,1(1 liberal citizens who have not only said ., ..11-1 -1 i L Ml 1. that they would contribute, but who will do so, if in their opinion the proper means have been taken. It seems that confidence is wanted in the men who have shown their willingness to emigrate ; and such being the case, seven of us have united ourselves to emigrate, with or without your aid. We sincerely hope that you will never let it be said that Emigrants from the county of the Old North State, where the first declaration of Independence was made, emigrate with out aid from its wealthy and liberal citizens. We do not intend to address you an appeal beaming with patriotic fire ; if so, an abler pen should have been used. Our only ob ject is to procure from you some of the aid we need. South Carolina has sent and is sending her sons, and giving her thousands of dollars ; and not only is she contribut ing men and means, but every Southern State is forwarding bona fide emigrants to the Territory of Kansas ; and cannot you do the same? You can, if you choose; and we hope ere the time expires for the recep tion of contributions, you will at least fur nish us with sufficient funds to pay our way there, on the most economical scale. We hope to receive this small amount but can we confidently expect it? Will not thjmJu dies of Charlotte and Mecklenburg, as some have done in South T'arolina, take up our cause? If they would, then we should have no fear but that the purse of almost every man in our county would be drawn forth, and every one striving to overreach his neighbor. Then, Ladies, will you not aid us? The ladies of South Carolina have li berally contributed to the Emigrants of that State ; and they have not only contributed largely, but have plead the cause with fa ther, brother, and even with the lover; and their efforts have been crowned with suc cess. Why cannot you do the same? A word from the lips of the fair daughters of Old Mecklenburg would loosen the purse strings of the Father and open the port monic of the lover. But, enough ; we only desire to commend ourselves to your notice. We wish our friends to understand that we go as peaceful and bona fide settlers, to cast our votes and protect the interests of the South. We are men of Southern hearts and Southern principles ; and we will will ingly risk our lives, and our all, in defence of our own South and her rights. Slave holders and land proprietors, it is you who will be benefitted not us. We risk our lives, and you only the paltry con sideration of a few dollars. If Kansas be admitted as a free State into the Union, you will ultimately have thousands wrenched from you by the tyrannical hand of North ern abolitionism and fanaticism. Already has the abolition incendiary been at work ; even the hand of the midnight assassin has unsheathed his knife, and stands ready to plunge it into the bosom of some of Mis souri's noble sons. And, North-Carolinians, will you listen to the voice of your brother Missourians, as they call upon you for aid, and not hearken to their appeal It is our intention to unite ourselves with Capt. E. B. Bell, of Edgefield, S. C; and the contributions that we may receive will be used in equipping ourselves for the jour ney. In conclusion, friends, we hope that you will give us a little aid, and that those who have already expressed themselves in our favor, will put their names to the contribu tion list as soon as possible. We will now leave the matter with you. We have done all tha- "lay in our power, and the rest re- mains with you. Let not the honor of Old Me .ienburc I implied bv the withhold irig of a few paltry dollars from an object on all hands acknowledged to be of vital inte rest to the South. THE EMIGRANTS. P.

Pritchard, Harrison, and Waring will retain all money received, until arrangements can be made with Capt. E. P. Bell, of Edgefield. Our citizens can thus see that there is no chance of their being decieved. The names of the emigrants can be learned by enquiry of either of the gentlemen with lists. Young men of respectability, wishing to emigrate, can do so by addressing Emigrants, at the ; Drug Store of Dr. H. M.

March 11, 1856 6w Prs. fee $6 RIO-GRANDE. A RARE OPPORTUNITY is now presented for the farmers and all admirers of good horses, in this section of the country, to improve their Stock. RIO-GRANDE is one of the finest and purest blooded horses in the world, as will be seen by reference to the English and American records of his pedigree. He is directly descended from the very purest and best stock in England and Ame rica, as the following pedigree will show : RIO-GRANDE is by Billy Harris, out of Lady Morgan. Billy Harris was by Monsieur Tons on, he by Pacolet, dam by Madam Tonson, by El liot's Top Gallant : grand dam by Barrey'fl Med ley; Top Gallant by Gallatin; Baney's Medley by Medley. Lady Morgan, the dam of Rio Grande, was by John Richards ; her dam by im ported Expedition ; her grand darn by Bela Bad ger's Sir Solomon ; great grand dain Aurora, by iiiiporn-d Honest John ; great great grand dam Zejippa, by imported Messenger; g. g. g. grand dam Dido, by imported Bay Richmond ; g. g. g. g. grand dam Stamcrkin, by imported Wildair; gAg. g. g. g- grand dam by imported Cub. Ariel, the dam of Billy Harris, was by American Eclipse; her dam by Financier; grand dam by Empress, by imported Baronet ; great grand dam by imported Messenger; her dam by Snap, out of Jenny Duter, by True Briton ; her dam Quaker Lass, by imported Juniper, out of the imported Molly Pacolet, by. imported Pacolet ; Molly Pac olet's dam by imported Spark, out of Queen Mab. American Eclipse was by Duroc ; his dam the famous race mare Miller's Damsel, by imported Messenger, out of the imported Pot-8-00000000 's mare; her dam by Jim-Crack. Duroc was by imported Diomede, out of Mr. Mosby's "extraor dinary race mare Amanda," by Col. Taylor's famous Gray Diomede, son of imported Medley. It is deemed unnecessary to extend hack any farther the pedigree of Rio-Grande, although it can be fully traced iu the English Records back to a very long period of time. RIO-GRANDE is unquestionably one among the. finest horses in the whole Southern country. His stock are of fine size, remarkably well form ed, durable, and easily managed. Testimonials from the very best raisers of Stock in South Caro lina, fully sustain all and more than is here stated concerning Rio-Grande. He is undoubtedly an extra tine horse in every respect. There is not a single drop of coarse or impure blood in his veins.
