C, and that a large amount of foreign capital is about to l.c invested in its developement. The best iron ore is also found in various other parts of North Carolina. Terminated Fatai.lv. Mr. Brockel- bank, of Charleston, S. C, who had his arm torn from his body, a few days ago, by fallin from a house on an iron riulinr, has died of his injuries, notwithstanding hopes were at first indulged that he would survive his wounds. A severe Punishment. On Thursday niedit Thos. Sterling and his wife, Mary, had a quarrel at their residence, No. 140 Reade street, in which the latter is said to have been severely assaulted. T5y way of retaliation, she shortly afterwards procured a tumbler full of vitriol, and calling her spouse to her, under pretense that she had some beer for him, she dashed the vitriol into his face, pnttingout his eyes and burn ing him in a shocking manner. She was arrested and sent to jail, to be tried for the oirence. i . news. Slavery in Okeoox. A correspondent of the New York Times, an abolition pa per, says : "There is a large Missouri pop ulation here, and occasionally a negro is seen among them. A nd in one instance a girl has changed hands twice. In the se cond instance she was, it is reported, sold for $d30. There are intelligent and pru dent people in Oregon who honestly declare their convictions that there will be a tre menduus struggle to legalise shivery in this Territory yet. And unless a change of Ad ministration should occur at Washington, all the influence of the General Government will go to favor the movement. The writer has been a resident of Oregon for eight years, and during that period he has heard Government officials, and appointees of the President, argue earnestly for the introduc tion of slavery into Orecon. And if pro- slavery sentiments prevail in Kansas, then Oregon will be the next field for the propa gandists to pounce upon. It will probably be some years before Oregon will be a State." - An Enraged Lioness. At about 11 o' clock Wednesday forenoon, a lioness be longing to Van Aniborgb oc Co., kept with other animals belonging to the same mena gerie, in a building at Newport, near Cin cinnati, Ohio, enraged at her cub being ta ken from her, with her claws tore the iron bars from their fastening, and breaking from her den, attacked and killed a dog that was kept about the premises, after which she seized a panther and lacerated him so dread fully, that he died shortly afterwards. A young tiger cub, which the splendid Ben gal tigeress, now travelling with the cara van, had given birth to about four months since, was the next victim to her rage, after which she demolished several cages of rare and valuable birds. The keeper arrived at this juncture, and after a furious struggle, succeeded in chaining the ferocious brute, to the great relief of the surrounding neigh borhood, the people of which were afraid she would succeed in breaking from the building. , - . . , SHOCKING. Dr. Magio relates that an idiot in the hos pital of Salzburg appearing to be singular ly insusceptible of fear, an experiment of an appalling character and appalling con sequences, was made upon him as a means of putting his susceptibility to the test. It was proposed to produce in him the im pression that he saw a dead man come to life. A person, accordingly, had himself laid out as a corpse, and enveloped in a shroud, and the idiot was ordered to watch over the dead body. The idiot perceiving some motion in the corpse, desired it to He still : and the pretended corpse raising it self up in spite of this admonition, the idiot seized a hatchet, which unluckily was within his reach, and cut off his head. lie then calmly resumed his stution by the real corpse. Fatal Accident. We are sorry tore cord that on Monday last, as Mr. Eliaha South was preparing to leave the camp meeting ground, in the upper part of this District, while gearing up his team one of his mules kicked him in the side, which so injured him that he died the next day. Mr. South was an estimable citizen, and leaves a devoted wife to mourn his sudden death. Laurensvilk (S. C.) Herald. Inconsistent y. In the town of Liber ty, in Texas, a fine of $25 is imposed upon every man who swears in the presence of a woman : but there is no fine for swearing only hi the presence of God ? BARBAROUS ATTEMPT AT MUR DER. Our unusually quiet town was, on last Saturday evening, tin-own into a state of high excitement. The case was serious. j Murder had been attempted in the streets, j under the light of Heaven and in the imme- diate presence of the officers of the law. ; struggle and the result reflect infinite cred About sunset, or a little before, as the ; it on the firmness and fidelity of the South editor of this paper was passing over to his j ern spirit. All honor to the gallant minori- office from Mrs. Griswold's Hotel, Wm. T. j Dortch, using ft double barrel gun, shot j him, taking deliberate aim, and lodging the J contents of both barrels in his body and ! left arm. About ten minutes before the occlirrence, Mr. Robinson had entered the j Ifotcl tQ transuct me business, passing Mr Dortch who was sitting ou the stops j with a gun standing Crect between his legs, ; and? fts report gRys alrcady locked, but j , f roasons bt known L l.imself. de- clined to perpetrate the bloody deed while his victim's face was towards Rim. Mr. Robinson, having transacted his business with Mr. Jones, proceeded towards his of fice, and when less than half way across the street, or about fifteen or twenty paces from Mr. Dortch, the latter fired upon him with the effect already stated. When Mr. Robinson received the first fire he staggered, instinctively placing his left hand behind him on the spot where he had been wounded, and with his right, draw ing out his pistol, but he instantly received the second fire and fell. On being raised, he attempted to cross over to Mr. Dortch, who had now laid aside his gun and drawn a pistol, but found it impracticable he couldn't stand up. At this juncture, one of his little sons a lad about fifteen years old, ran up, exclaiming, "Pa, hand me your I pistol and I'll shoot him." at the same in ' stant, snatebiner the nisfoi from his father's 0 L hand. The bravery displayed by this little boy in defence of his father, whom he then regarded as murdered, is worthy of all com mendation, lie was prevented from fight ing or living in his father's defence, only by those who wrested the pistol from him, and, as we thought, wrongfully. Mr. Robinson was immediately carried to Dr. C. F. Dewey's office, where stimu lants were administered, and his wounds partially examined. He was then removed to his residence where he received all the attention that Medical skill and kind offices could suggest from the hands of doctors Dewey, Moore and Craton, as well as from his brother-in-law, Dr. J. W. Davis, who arrived from the country a few minutes af ter Mr. Robinson had been carried home. We will forbear unnecessary comments on this act of wanton barbarity. Had Mr. Dortch fired on Mr. Robinson as he ap proached him, and thus afforded him even the appearance of an opportunity to defend himself, he might have hoped for some ex tenuation of a crime, that his contrary course has stamped as at war with ail laws human and divine. But, as the whole matter is itkely to be submitted to judicial investiga tion, we will forbear comments. Mr. Robinson is now confined to his room and suffering intense agony, although none of his wounds are considered as dangerous. It is doubtful, however, whether he will re cover the perfect use of his left arm, which is now completely paralyzed. His body is severely mangled It is hoped that, in view of his situation, j the readers of the t ribune wil extend to bun their kind indulgence until he be able , to resume his duties. 1 Uoldshoro l .j Tribune, Sept. -3. HORRIBLE. We learn that on Wednesday afternoon i last, on leaving home for a short time, a lady residing near Lower Fifth and Mar- i kct streets, left her child, about five months old, asleep in the cradle, in charge of her j husband. The latter having occasion to step out of the house a few moments, on re- j turning found the cradle empty, and the child no where to be found. He searched through j the room, but not being able to find it, sup- j posed his sister-in-law, who resided about a square distant, had come in and carried it home with her. He started to go to her residence, but had only gone about half way, when to his horror, he discovered the baby lying in a gutter, and a large hog de vouring its bowels ?

All honor to the Senate, for the inflexible tenacity with which it held to its position under every accumulation of ad verse influence. It has again shown itself the bulwark of the Constitution. All hon or to the patriotic President, tor so fearless a discharge of duty. The result vindicates his policy, and 'conststently closes the Ad ministration of Franklin Pierce with an in comparably brilliant victory over the ene mies of the Constitution and the Union. Nothing is wanting to the lustre of his re putaticn. His name is imperishably asso ciated with the history of a grateful coun try. The Black-Republican forces have suf fered a repulse from which they can never recover. They must endure the infamy of treason, without the reward of successful crime. They are defeated, thev are humil iated, they are covered with contempt they are pursued by the hisses and curses of an indignant people. The Democracy are now triumphant in the North. The election of Buchanan is placed above the caprice of fortune. Richmond Knq. ". 5 FILLMORE AT THE NORTH. It is manifest that Mr. Fillmore is regard ed by a great portion of the North as an equally efficient ally with Fremont in resist- ,' ing the constitutional rights of the South. His open denunciation of the repeal of the j and that, too, spontaneously, are not to be Missouri Compromise line, indicates his ranked as the ebullitions of an idle, every-anti-Southern sentiments, and, but for his ; day, unmeaning sentiment. We record manifest weakness as a candidate, ho would receive a much larger vote from the free- our people the grateful and important truth, soil opponents of Mr. Buchanan. I which cannot fail to impress itself upon the Geo. T. Davis of Massachusetts, has de- j mind of every reader. When the assault clined the nomination of the FillmorlAmer- wa.s made upon Senator Sumner, there were ican Convention of that State, for the? office j gome who. viewing its effect upon the Nor of Attorney General not because Mr. j thern mind, regarded it as an unfortunate Fillmore does not represent his (D.'s) anti- event. If it has united the North against slavery sentiments, but because he wishes us, it has far counterbalanced the evil hy to make his vote effective by casting it for uniting is for ourselves. We verily believe Fremont, the only formidable opponent of , that should Col. Brooks visit any other Buchanan. Here is what Mr. Davis says : , Southern State, he would meet with the same "I have great personal regard and res- ! cordial and warm hearted greeting not pect for Mr. Fillmore, and great confidence simply because of the merit of his act, for in the national and harmonizing influences, j under similar circumstances, any true which, if elected, he would be likely to j Southron would have done likewise hut bring around him.

But we have still further and stronger evidence. The notorious Tom Corwin. who in 1848 stumped Ohio and recommended Mr. Fillmore to the support of the people of that State, on the ground that he was an Abolitionist, thus delines his position through the columns of the Cincinnati Columbian:! "We are authorised by Governor Cor win to say that our notice of his relation to the present Presidential contest is not , acc urate Mr. Corwin will vote the Fill- ! more ticket, if it shall be run with a fair prospect of success in Ohio, Mr. Fillmore being the man he prefers. But if the Fill- ! more ticket is not likely to carry Ohio, then he will vole for Fremont and Dayton that lie does sympathise with the Republican party in many of their principles, but to some of the extreme dogmas announced by J ' them he cannot cive his assent. He be- Heves all that is desirable and proper may r xr r ii ' be accomplished by the election of Mr. Fill more, and thai he is the man just now want ed to do exact justice to both lite JS'orth and the South, and restore tranquility to the coun try. Richmond Enquirer. Thc OId Scrpent ill a Slew Skin. We learn from the Richmond Enquirer that thc Know Not,,inS3 f V5rSinia have ized in that State undera new name, that of "The American League."

J COL. P. S. BROCKS. Mr. Mkt.tox, one of the Editors of the "Yorkville Enquirer." travelled from Wash ington Cit-, to South Carolina, in company with the Hon. P. S. Brooks, on his late re turn home from Congress. The "Enquirer" contains the following notice of Col. B.'s reception at Raleigh and Charlotte : "At Raleigh, where we remained Tuesday night, and at Charlotte, where the schedule required a delay of several hours, Colonel Brooks was honored with the most enthusi astic reception, all the more grateful lie cause they came eajdently from the im pulse of the moment. The main street in Raleigh was handsomely illuminated an immense multitude very soon gathered around the " Yarborough House," with "three times three," giving him a glowing welcome, and calling for an account of his faithful stewardship. This was rendered eloquent and handsomely received. Iu Charlotte, where we arrived late in the af ternoon, the enthusiasm occasioned hy Col. Brooks' presence, exceeded anything we had ever witnessed. As in Raleigh, the streets were quickly on fire : a fine band of ! music, in a handsome car, drew up in front of the Mansion House, and with tho spirit stirring notes of our national anthem gave the first sounds of welcome, which were caught up by the crowd, numbering at least a thousand persons, who made the welkin ring in earnest with repeated out bursts of applause. After Col. Brooks had responded, in terms befitting such a hearty demonstration, the multitude formed in pro cession, snu escorted him to tno Depot, they remained until the departure of where the train, full half an hour, sending up a gain and again those joyous, loud-pealing acclamations which can only come from an earnest, a truthful and a patriotic people. These manifestations with unbounded enthusiasm by tho masses of the people them rather with the view of presenting to tion, the violence, and the infernal hatred whioh is now exhibited towards us by the x- ,, . , . .. iiorrn, weign not a leather.

UU i ' i '1 III A K KM lilt; lllA ed Mr. Slmner. It is really a refreshing specimen, and is especially valuable as a proof, from his own people, of the cool ef frontery,the bare-faced hypocrisy with which the Massachusetts Abolitionist has carried himself since he was whipped in the Senate Chamber. The utter degradation of the mcn who make up the Republican party is appalling, as, but for tho proof, it would This martyrof Free Kansas, Free Speech and Free Niggers, as we stated in our last, or lately has been, rusticating at the V.,..i r I k f TuOL'QAn Af 4aSt a t An U ! s . . . tirely given way to teehngs of deep disgust. TWa is nothing whatever the mutter with him. He is hale and hearty, has a good appetite, and talks politics with all the Dit ter vindictiveness that a Yankee fanatic can command. One day last week. Col. D. H. Hofius, an . . ww . i f f a. J i ttarnsburg neraiu, visueu vressuu. AU company with a man named Gemmil, at the invitation of Dr. Jackson, they called up on Mr. Sumner, who received them very cordially. He soon naked Mr. Hofius how Mr. Ford had succeeded hero. The Colo nel told him frankly that he did not succeed very well that his meeting was composed of Democrats and Fillmore men that very few Fremont men were present, in conse quence of there being but few in the place. This frank avowal irritated the gentleman with the soft brain, and he poured forth a perfect torrent of invectives against Penn sylvatiians. While emptying bis rials of Black Republican wrath, ho declared that the Whigs and Democrats of Pennsylvania were white slaves, and that ho should glory in seeing them brought to the block, and disposed of under the auctioneer's hammer. The unqualified assertion of the Yankee fanatic did not fail to arouse the indignation of the Pennslyvanians, and Col. Hofius made some tart reply, which only aggravated tho martyr the more, and he showered abuse of the foulest kind upon Pennsylvanians in discriminately, and when the party attempt ed to vindicate their State, the dignified Yankee Abolitionist coolly opened a Bos ton paper, and commenced reading. The party came away completely disgusted, and Col. Hofius, who previously felt great sym pathy for the man before he uttered such atrocious sentiments, declaies openly that his Honor earned a great many more cau ings than he has ever received. ROBERT C. WINTHROP. HIS REASONS FOR SUPrORTIXC JAMES SUCHAKAN. This gentleman, a lending Whig of Mas sachusetts and formerly Speaker of the House of Representatives in Congress, was lately invited to attend a Kanas Aid Moot ing in Fanueil Hall in Boston, to which ho replies in a calm, dignified manner, but takes occasion to administer a just and mor- !tod rcbuke to.sl,ch. traitors as ar0 "tigat- ing reoeinon in ivansas, inereoy visiting upon the country the evils of civil war and a dissolution of this glorious Union. His letter is worthy of an old lino Whig states man, whoso affections are centered on tho Constitution of his country, and who is will ing to sacrifice party attachments when our free institutions are in peril. In clos ing his letter ho states his position in tho following language : There is really but one absorbing ques tion now before the people. In the solemn magnitude of its presence all others aro hushed. This question is ut last presented in a tangible form, shall the Union bo pre served ? or shall the first step be taken to ward the entire disruption of the States of the Union by a severance of the North from the South ? Looking at the political signs of the times, with this question staring us in the face, wo make our choice of candi dates. The nominees of tho Cincinnati Convention make the preservation of tho Union tho matter of paramount interest. Other principles are advocated but if any subserviency is to bo made, all the others are to be compromised, all of them may bo subservient out " tho Union it must be preserved." "On tho other hand, the preservation of the Union is a minor and secondary princi ple with those whd have met in convention under tho title of Republicans.
