" THE WHIGS HOPE. The Raleigh Standard having remarked ti.at it "never expected to see Mr. V. C. Barringer President of the 5J. States not Sheriff of Cabarrus county." the North Carolina Whig expresses the same belief. b it adds: "We do hope to see him (Mr. Barringer) a representative from this Dis trict to Conjrress, some of these davs." "Some of these days!" Well, it may be that the Whig's "hopes" are to be realised "omo of these days," but we fear some of these years will pass before Mr. Barriuger revolutionizes this district by his oratorical flourishes in favor of know-nothingism. and secures a seat iu Congress. At this time the prospect is particularly bright, for the r alization of the Whig's hopes. There is not more than 3,"Uo Democratic majority to overcome, to elect Mr. V.

The intelligence which our paper con tains to-day, from Washington and Kansas, is well calculated to excite alarm in the bo som of everyone who desires a longer con tinuance of the Union. It is now apparent that Black Republicanism aim to over run the South, and rob her of her property and an equal participation of the benefits of the Union, or bring on anarchy, blood shed, and disunion. The fearful crisis at which we have arrived, is clearly set forth in our columns to-day. May there be pa triotisni enough left in the country to avert the direful eala lity which seems about to overtake ail who rvjmrd the Union as a blessing! Sectional rule or ruin, is the mot to of Northern faiiaticism. - " ' f S ' VW The Directors of the Wilmington, Charlotte and Rutherford Rail-Road Com pany, met at Columbia hist week, and or dered the Engineers to proceed to locate the road from Lumberton to Walker's Fer ry, in order to have the same ready for con tract by the first of January next, in case the Directors shall determine to adopt said route : and if said route is not adopted by the time the survey is completed, then the roail to Whiteville shall be located for the same purpose and that the President and Chief Engineer proceed to put the road un der contract from Luinberton to the East bank of the Pee Dee, under the same res trictions as are proscribed for the Western Division by Ke solution of 17th June.

The efforts of abolitionism do not appear to affect the price of slaves. In all parts of the South, cilice Christmas last, they years, and an old woman, were sold to the highest bidder, at the following prices : The boy $1,216, the girl $1,015, and the old woman (a cripple) 8 150 six months' credit, with interest from date. These pri ces would justify $1,500 for young men, and $1,200 for young women. - m m SOUTHERN PROGRESS. The numerous milling establishments, for the manufacture of Hour, now springing j up throughout the Southern country, must be a source of pride as well ns profit to the people, in whose midst they are erected. Hitherto, the South has been chiefly a cot ton, tobacco, and corn-planting country, now, it is becoming also an extensive wheat growing region. The evidence of this is to be seen in our own community. In this (Mecklenburg County) there are some six or eight large Hour mills. The one iu this town, on the line of the Central Hail-Road, the property of Leroy Springs, Esq., is sur passed by few milling establishments iu the country. Tne building is an immense structure of brick, five stories high, mid contain- .-ix pair o best description of burrs. Tin u ichiuery is turned by steam power, aud a rasl ibei i bushels of wheat are daib gr i in ) up, and eonv rtvd into flour-:': finesl jrade. The mill is now in active peruti n. keeping a large number of bauds actively engaged in re ceiving wheat, grinding, and in conducting the several departments of this extensive establishment. The new crop of wheat is now rapidly coming into market, and is pur chased by Mr. Springs at the highest price the flour markets of the country will justi fy. It affords us pleasure to record these evidences of Southern progress, enterprise and independence. We are no longer simply a planting and producing people, but ulso a manufacturing people, having all the essentials of independence and great ness within our own borders. A Good Idea. Our neighbor of the Whig gives " Sunday reading" and the Know-Nothing Platform in the same column. A good idea. A little religious exercise is necessary, after reading such a platform.

BUFUS CllOATE. ANOTHER WHIG VOICTJ. George T. Curtis. Esq., an able and dis tinguished old-line Whig, of Massachusetts, has come out with a long letter, warning the country of the dangers to the Union, if the Black Republicans pet the ascendancy, and appealing to the Whigs of the country to vote in such way as they deem best to defeat the disorganizes. Mr. Curtis says: "This is the first time in the history of this country, since it had a constitution, that a political party has been organized to carry a Presidential election upon doctrines ! healthy climate, religious, educational, so that are positively revolutionary. All for-I cial, and commercial advantages. This mer parties that have ever existed, and all is not only a cotton and corn country, others that now exist, h ive been content to ! but it is also a wheat errowins region: take the Declaration or Independence for what it truly was a bold assertion of na tional rights by colonists who were about to throw off the yoke of their mother country, by a revolution, but who never thought of dissolving by it the existing internal rela tions of the inhabitants of any of these col onies. All other parties, too, have been content to recognize in the federal Consti tution a compact between sovereign Slates, some of which are slaveholdingand some of which are non-slaveholding communities, for certain limited and special purposes; and all have respected the limitation, which thi' Constitution expressly establishes, when it declares that one of its objects is to se- cure the blessings of liberty to the people. who made it, and to their posterity. But now we are told that this limitation is to be disregarded; that the principles of the De- , ,.T , , it .i i i claration or Independence, in all their naked 1 torce, are "embodied in the federal Con- ' stitution; and the primary object of their constitution was to enforce and carry out the doctrine of universal emancipation. It is an attempt to reverse, by the solemn judgment of the American people, the whole basis on which the Constitution has hitherto rested, and to overturn the principles on which it has hitherto been administered; and when a majority of the American peo ple have sanctioned this doctrine, there can be and will be no step backwards, but all the results of an inevitable sequence must follow in quick succession from the prem ises. This is not .a day for the indulgence of personal wishes. It is a day for patriotism to do its natural office a day for sacrifices in behalf of our country, that we may pre serve its institutions aud strengthen the bonds of its Union. GEN. DUFF GREEN. Gen. Dull' Green, an able and well-known politician, who was originally a supporter of Gen. Jackson, and editor of the U . S. Telegraph, at Washington City, but who has been for nearly thirty years in opposi tion to the Democratic party, has avowed his purpose to support Mr. Buchanan. In his letter assigning his reasons, he says: " I add a few suggestions intended for the independent portion of the Whig party, who, having been heretofore opposed to the Democratic ascendancy, and are now op posed to Fremont as t!i abolition candi date, are yet 'halting between two opinions.' Permit me say to such, that designing, am bitious men have so long labored to organ ize the North as a sectional political party, that, unless the South are united in opposi tion to Fremont, and give a nearly unani mous support to Mr. Buchanan, the result must be to give an impulse to the anti-slavery movement and to endanger the future peace and permanence of the Union. Col. Benton after Defeat. Col. Benton writes a letter on the 10th instant, to Thomas L. Price, Esq., who was one of his defeated followers. He says he was disappointed at the result of the election, but is glad that he canvassed the State, as " contributing " to allay the feeling of sectional antagonism now too strong for tlie safely of the Union. " Old Bullion"' is par ticularly severe on those who accused him nf fiivorinc Fremont, be -eekhir to snlit. the ! . "T . 1 vote in Missouri. He says : 'There are cases in which public duty arises above personal consideration, though then are a oreat niauv rteoole who cannot - - o - J I 1 conceive it possible. Tims, when 1 sup ported Jackson, (with whom I had been on ill terms.) thirty years ago, the sordid mo tive of office wtis assigned to it ; now, when I support Buchanan, (with whom I am on ill terms,) and support him against a mem ber of my own family, the same class of persona can see nothing in it but falsehood and treachery. Incapable themselves of anything disinterested and patriotic, they believe others to be equally so, and attack, with base motives, all the actions which are above the comprehension of their political morality." i ...

Strayed from the precincts of North Car olina, about sundown on Thursday, the 7th instant, a very unlikely boy named "Sam," alias "SunUville." The above liberal re- , , , -,i i - j , I warn, aim no inaiiKs, .o oe paiu oy uie subscribers for his apprehension and deliv ery on or before the (5th day of November, 1856 Said bov is aopppecd to te some, two or three rears old. nml of small stature. He was imported from the neighborhood of Boston, and it is supposed he will endeavor to make Ins wav nacK to ins native place When SpnKCIl lo uc generally oeoomes wratbv. and says Americans shall rule A- meriea. He usually keeps himself conceal- . , , i i,,, i , i o ed through the day, but may be seen skulk- ing about old scbool-booetw, late at nigbt with his hat drawn over me face, and a dark lantern in his band. If asked where he w ill bo the next night he says he don't know anything about it. When be is among Pro tectants, he swears thst no Catholic shall hold office. Hut w hen he gets among Cath olics, he is their friend. He boasts loudly of his powers and Mrength, but having been lately worsted at a game of Bragg, be will no doubt become m dc-t for the future. As there are oJt few persons in North Carolina who have "seen Sam," thoe wish- ing farther information cau get it by ap plying to Kenneth Rayner. When last heard from, Sam was travelling iu the di rection of Salt River. All persons are cau tioned against harboring the fugitive, as the penalty of the law will be enforced against them the 4th of November, for so doing. SAM'S BOYS. Aug. 11, 1856.
