mitted, by the Supreme Court at Morgan-
ton, to practice law in the Superior Courts

Inox Ore in North Carolina. It m
stated that iron ore, very rare and of im-
mense value, has been discovered on Deep
River, in Chatham county, X. 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.

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

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 ? When taken up there 1

THE ROUT OP THE TRAITORS.
The final defeat of the Black-Republican
party in the House of Representatives is
an achievement over which the South may
j rejoice with honest exultation ; for the
ty in the House, whom defeat could not
dismay, and who returned again and again
to the charge, until the enemy's column
gavo way. 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.

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

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

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

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

be accomplished by the election of Mr. Fill

ed to do exact justice to both lite JS'orth and
the South, and restore tranquility to the coun

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

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

appalling, as, but for tho proof, it would

TWa is nothing whatever the mutter with
him. He is hale and hearty, has a good
appetite, and talks politics with all the Dit

can command.

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. With them
the preservation of tho Union is to be tol
erated as a matter of contingency. Mr.
Banks committed the first act of treason in
declaring in the halls of Congress that ho
was in favor of " letting the Union slide,"
unless a favorite crochet of his own or his
associates could be endorsed.
" This is the broad and grand division of
the question that now divides the country;
and in view of it we hesitate not to declare
our infinite preference for James Buchanan
to any other man who sustains the least
chance of election, and to endorse him as a
man well calculated to face the factions in
our laud, and tho wiles and combinations
and manifold diplomacy of the trickster
politicians of tho old world."

It's all a Mvstery. It is a mystery
where Col. Fremont was born ; how he was
educated, whether for a Catholic priest or
Protestant clergyman ; whether he is now
a Catholic or Protestant ; whether he is the
real conqueror of California, or only a pre
tender ; whether he is the greatest adven
turer and explorer of the Rocky Mountains,
or whether Kit Carson is not entitleo to
that honor ; whether he is more Know Noth
ing than Black "Republican," or whether
he is either; whether he is the richest man
in the world, or whether Mariposa is worth
anything; whether he is the real candidate
for tfie 1 'residency, or whether tie is not in

It is a mystery how he was
ever thought of or nominated for the Pres-
idency, and equally a mystery how any sen-
sible man can think he has any chance for
an election. N. Y. Atlas.
Mysterious ideas often times seize upon the
fancies of the ignorant ; therefore, it need
not appear strange to our friend of Tba At
las that even Fremontism should hare its
sickly and unnatural run like Free-love-ism,
Fourierism, and thdhousand and on fol
lies that are set in motion by the purely
speculative mind live for a day and die.
So will it he with this last and greatest
humbug. f N. Y. New$.

Poor Donelson. Ignored by his own
party, and literally used up by the Demo
cratic press, he is truly an object of pity.
If the know nothings make charges against
the Democracy or its candidates, up rises
Doneison's ghost, and nurses them to si
lence. If they applaud Fillmore, op rises
Donelson's ghost and turns the approvals
into curses. The know nothings aro great
ly exercised because Martin Van Huron
chooses to vote for Mr. Buchanan and lo
and behold ! Donelson's ghost rises up
and breaks Fillmore's head with Van Bu
ren's stick.
GT An old line Whig writes to the Bos
ton Times that he has a nephew who want
to acquire a military education, and wishes
to know which would be best sending
him to Won Point or the Rev. Henry Ward
