A national Convention of Know-Nothings, calling themselves Whigs, haa just closed a session, "flat, stale, and unprofita ble," at Baltimore. Of course, it nomina ted Fillmore & Donelson, for the mem bers went there (Gov. Graham, of this State, stated) for no other purpose. The Conven tion will do no good for Fillmore in the South, while it may aid Buchanan in the North, by inducing some Whigs there to adhere to him, who otherwise would have given their vote to Fremont. It is rather j late in the day for national Conventions, MtTritfif aiU P'b" r Know-Nothing Conven I tions. This never would have been called, if the present aspect of the political hori zon could have been foreseen. The elec tions in the free States, showing that Mr. Fillmore is powerless in the North as well as in the South, had not taken place at the time this Convention was called. .-. FATAL OCCURRENCE. Janu s M. Journey, of Iredell county, eaSM to his death, on Friday morning last, under the following circumstances: lie wus travelling through the country, with a wagoa containing' liquor for sale, and stop ped at the house of Mr. Juines J. Orr, of Mecklenburg county, on the Wadesboro' road, 15 miles below Charlotte, where there were several gentlemen of the neighborhood, whom he allowed to test the qualities of his Bauer. In the company, was Mr. James II. Wcddington. who approached Journey, while he wus sitting on u fence with a black bottle of liquor in his hand, when he (Jour ney) either accideiitly or designedly gave the bottle a twitch and threw some of its contents in the face of Wcddington, who immediately seized the bottle and threw it at tbc head of Journey, cutting a hole in his hat and a severe gush on the crown of his head. All effort to stop the flow of blood from the wound proved unavailing, and death ensued trom loss of blood early the following morning. The bottle was not broken by the blow. Win. Maxwell, a Justice of the Peace, had a jury summoned, and an inquest held over the body the verdict being in accor dance with the above facts. Mr. Wedding ton surrendered himself into the hands of the law, and was committed to the jail of this town by Deputy Sheriff, Robest White, on Saturday morning ht.-t. . ACCIDENT.

A Methodist Camp-Meeting is at present progressing about seven miles south of this town, immediately on the line of the C. and S. C. Rail-Road. Many thousands were in attendance on Sunday Charlotte having made a largo contribution to the number. Besides the hundreds who crowded the cars, every carriage, norse, and aiule ia the town seemed to have been paraded and put in motiou for the camp ground. The drain of "white spirits and black spirits," gave a solemn piiet to our streets, quite becoming a Sabbath day. For once, "order reigned in Warsaw.'1 We are decidedly in favor of Camp Meet ings.

Cotton Las advanced l-I6d.to id-; with sales for the week of 85.000 bales, including 5,000 to speculators and 9,000 to exporters. The market closed dull. Flour declined 1 to 2s., wheat 3 to Gd., and corn Is. The weather was fine. Consols closed at 95. The packet ship Ocean Home was sunk j in a collision off Liverpool, and seventy lives were lost. The Royal British Joint Stock Bank of London had failed. It had done a large business through its branches at other points. The three hundred stock holders aro individually liable, but all will be ruined. The Times says, though the harvest will be abundant, prices will be re numerative. The continental harvest ac counts are good. The Spanish Cortes had been dissolved, and six papers had been seized bv the Government. No Minister will be appointed to Mexico. It was ru mored that those at Berlin and Washington would be rccalh'd. A collision had occur red between the Swiss and Prussian author ities. Naples was pursuing a more concil iatory course towards the Western Powers. Sardinia would not permit Austriau inter vention. FURTHER NEWS FROM KANSAS. The St. Louis News of the 11th iust., has the following: "There is a lull in the Kansas war, which is probably the forerunner of a peace. The army of Missouriaas recently rendez voused near Westnost for the invasion of the territory is disbanded. Much the lar ger portion of the men composing it have returned home, leaving a small force of two or three hundred men, under Gen. Reid, to protect the territory. The cause of the break up was this : After the affair at Ossawattomie the men under IJeid called out to be led against Lawrence right off, that they might terminate the war by the capture of that place. The leaders, con scious of the impossibility of succeeding in such a hazardous enterprise with such an undisciplined force, refused to march on Lawrence, and fell back on their base of operations ou the Missouri border. The men became disheartened and refused to submit to the severe drilling system which was instituted in the camp, and which ex perience has demonstrated to be absolute ly essential to enable the pro-slavery army to make headway against the thoroughly organised and disciplined forces under Lane. The- therefore packed up and returned home. TERRIBLE RIOT IN BALTIMORE. The most terrible riot that has taken place in Baltimore for many years, occurr ed on Friday evening, at the corner of Light and Warren streets, in the vicinty of Federal Hill, between the adherents of a fishing club, and a party of men assem bled at the Seventeenth ward Democratic Headquarters. Two men were killed out right, and more than twenty persons wound ed. Both the men killed and a majority of those wounded had no connection with the affray, being either residents of the neighborhood or persons passing along the street at the time. Guns and pistols were used with the recklessness and ferocity of savages, the tight lasting for half an hour. Tin- following particulars of the riot we copy from the Bait. American : The fishing club several times passed the Seventeenth Ward House, kept by James Clark, where a slight difficulty oc courred early in the day. When they pass ed the house the last time, one of the Wainpanogs lagged behind and cheered for Fillmore, which was responded to by a beinar shot down at every turn. J he fash- I -v, " 'g commenced throwing stones, ai the street was hterallv covered with tnei romained at do nd em. I aunrterf, 4 it is onlv wonderful that a ti:irtip rAfTiAinPfl ;r Close much larger number was not killed. Most . of those injured, as is usual in such cases, ; had no part in the affray. ( When the firing began, John Carter, one of-the parties at the tavern, fired at a man j -i 1 1 i t.-.i 1 - r fi .i.: nanieu yosepu m am, one o, in, o. ! club, whose wife seeing the danger in which her husband was exposed threw herself in j front of him. and thoutrh thirteen shots were tinjr in His Uouse 111 wairen street, oy ine cf his wife, received a ball in his buck. wbich passed entirely through, his body and was taken out of his breast. It is thought hardlv possible that he can recover. His time reccived a ball in her yd, produced a severe flesh , . i. nJ- Before he culd be removed the crowd passed into Henrietta street and he was trampled under their feet, receiving a severe contusion on the back ot his Uead. He was taken up and conveyed to his resi- Jence, and about eight o"clock had a copious Uemorrhage from the lungs. His wound is such that no hope for his recovery is en- tertaineu. An old man named John Hare, who was sawing wood in front of the house of Mr. Caulk, received a ball in the breast, and fell dead instantly. His body wa.- taken to the Southern district police station, .rhere Coroner Benson held an inquest, the jury rendering a verdict of death from a pistol shot by seme person unknown. Clark, the proprietor of the tavern, at one time during tho fight, ran from his house in pursuit of one of the opposing par ty with a revolver in hand, and fired six balls in succession at him, within ten paees, none of which apparently took effect, as ; he continued hi? flight In the meantime, a dozen others, vrith pistols and bricks, followed Clark, aud cut off his retreat to his own house, and at a moment when a half dozen revolvers and as many bricks were being levelled at him, a lady ran out between him and his pursuers, and protect ed him until tie made his escape into a house. She then calmy walked across the street again to her own dwelling, without injury, the other party shouting at Clark for what thev considered his cowardice in seeking protection behind a woman. Westeru PJank Road. To the Stockholders of the Western Plank Road Company. Gentlemen : At your last annual meet ing you directed me to employ David Ren no, to cover and weatherboard the bridge over Killian's creek, at Dr. C. L. Hunter's, and pay for the same out of the proceeds of the Road ; he has done the work, and done it well, for which I agreed to pay him $450; and I have paid him on tho same $274. The Board of Directors instructed me to have $3,500 insured on the bridge over the Catawba river, and $1,500 on the bridge over Killian's creek, against fire all of which has been done. I insured $0,000 on the river bridge, in the Charlotte Insurance Office, and $2,500 on the same in the Ashe ville Insurance Office and I insured $1, 500 on the Killian's creek bridge, in the Charlotte Insurance Office. Some five or six months since, I discovered that the riv er bridge was considerably bent up stream, between the piers, and I got Col. Uenno to put in some iron rods to prevent it from giving away any more, and he thought it would not give way again, but about the first of August, I discovered that it hud got much worse, and I laid the case before the Board of Directors, and they directed me to employ Col. Renno to move it buck to its place, and put in such timber as would make it secure. I immediately employed him and engaged the timber for the same, and the work is now nearly completed, and I think will be well done, and that there will not be the least danger of its ever giv ing way again. The Directors placed $1, (KRJ worth of our Bonds at my disposal to pay tor the repairs. The receipts of the Road from toll and fines for the last year, (which has just end ed) is $;3,82'J 91, which together with $298 87 cents remaining on hand at the end of tho previous 3-ear, amounts to $4,128 78; and the disbursements are $4,111 04, leav ing in my hands as acting Treasurer the sum of $17 74, which will appear from my accompanying report of the receipts and disbursements which I herewith submit to you. and request the appointment of a com mittee to examine my vouchers. I have not yet been able to sell the Saw-Mill be longing to the Company, and I would re commend the propriety of making sale of the same at some price. 1 have been lim ited as to price, and have not been able to effect a sale at the price set. As the plank on the road are decaying fast, and I see no prospect of being able to discharge the debts of tho Company by tho proceeds of the Koad, in the way of toll, and our Bonds fall due on the 29th of April next, for which tho Road, with all the property belonging to the Corporation is mortgaged to secure the payment, which, after paying for the repairs of the river bridge, will amount to about $22,500. The other debts not in eluded in the mortgage will amount to about $10,000, making the whole indebted ness of the Company something like $33, 000 and the cost of the Road near $83, 000. I would recommend to 3011 the pro priety of endeavoring to fall on some plan to dispose of the Road and other property of tin Company at as earl' a day as possi ble, to enable us to meet the payment of the Bonds and all other outstanding debts. I would also recommend you to appoint a committee of two gentlemen, to endeavor to get our next Legislature to amend or al ter the Charter of our Road, so that it may be kept up as a Turnpike Road niter the plank have decayed, that we may be able to collect toll on the same4 as we now do. Tho well at the toll gate near Lincoluton is so much out of repair that it cannot be made to answer the purpose designed, and it is so far to any other water, that we will not. be able to keep a Toll Collector there unless we sink a new well. I would there fore recommend the Company to order ano ther well to be sunk there at an early day. The suit of W. W. Elms, against the Com pany is yet pending in court, and as there may be some erroneous opinions entertain ed by some of the Stockholders and the public about the suit, I think, in justice to the Directors under whoso advice I act, and also to myself, I should state the cir cumstances of the case : A few months after I took charge of the Road as Presi dent, I was informed that Mr. Elms intend ed to sue the Company for his pay, and that before he had completed his contract. I called to see Mr. Elms and told him what I had heard; he denied it ; I then said to him that there was no necessity of sueing; that I was read to come to a settlement with him tit anytime and give him tho C0111 paoy's Bonds and Certificates for Stock ac cording to contract ; he answered that he would bo losing the Interest on the Bonds that ho should have had before. I told him the Bonds should be drawn to bear inter est from the time tho work was completed; he appeared perfectly satisfied, and asked mo it 1 would bo 111 l liarlotte again 111 two 1 T . 1 1 , T 11 J .. ai weeKS. 1 loiu nun 1 wouiu, aim was mere at the time appointed, and every two or three weeks, for several months there after, and saw Mr. Elms nearly ever- time, and he never named the settlement, but had a Writ served on me for $20.000 and two or three times after the suit was commenc ed, I understood through his attorney Ma jor Green W. Caldwell, that Mr. Elms wish ed to make a settlement. I always replied that 1 was willing and ready to settle, but never could get Mr. Elms to a settlement. An arrangement was made with our Coun cil and his to make a settlement during one of the court weeks at Charlotte, and I went over prepared to go into it. On going there, one of our Attorneys was Snbponaod in tin case by Mr. Elms, and nothing more was said about a settlement. I had intend ed to have taken the deposition of our iate Engineer, Mr. Fry, when be was in Char lotte last winter, but before I had any no tice issued to that effect, I received notice from Mr. Elms' Council. Mr. Osborne, that he intended to take his deposition, and I was then sati: fied, and forwarded to Mr. Fry what I knew he would prove wn the contract, and his estimate of Mr. Elms' work ; and on the dav appointed to take tho deposition, Mr. Osborne was not in Char- j lotto, and Mr. Elms rode out on the same day to his gold mine, and Mr. Fry left late OO tne same evening tot 1 oik, wuion appeared to me very much like the notice was given to deceive mo, and prevent me from taking his deposition, and since that, Mr. Fry has been travelling over the north western States, so that I have not been able to get hie deposition. These are the rea sons why I had the suit laid over at the r !.;. .u T . 1 11 two lasi court. 1 uiu ..'. 1 su.m.iu be doing justice to the Company to go into the trial Of the case before I had my evj- deuce read v.
