y yi. J. YATES, Editor ic Proprietor. C HARLOTTE, HN C. Tuesday Morning, April 7, 1857. FOR CONGRESS, HO. BIRTOW CR1IGE, OK ROW AN COUNTY. ifnfVrAll District. The Asheville tfewa says that at the earnest solicitation of rr.anv citizens of that District, Hon. Thos. i Qlingmaa has consented to again be come a candidate for re-election to Congress- Fourth District. The Democracy of Wake county have appointed 50 delegates to a District Convention, and instructed then to vote for the re-nomination of the Hon. L- O R- Rranch for that District. Johnston county has also nominated Mr Branch. IT Maurice Q- Waddell, Esq., of Chat hum county, has announced himself as a candidate for Congress in the 5th District, lately represeated hy E. G. Reade. The Milton Chronicle says that John A. Gilmer, Esq, of Greensboro, is the choice of the party in that end of the District. Mr Fos m of Randolph, is also spoken of. All k..w-nothing-whigs. Tlie democrats of that District will have a candidate iu the field. We learn that Robert E. Rives, Esq, of Chathai, will pro bably he the man. Col. R. T. I'aine declines a re-nomination as a candidate for Congress iu tin- 1st Dist. Freight on Goods for the Interior. The Wilmington Herald directs the attention of the authorities of the Wilming ton and Weklon and North Carolina Rail roads to the subject of high freights on their respective Roads. A Wilmington merchant offered to sell Cuba Molasses to a Salisbury nit-reliant at 45 cents per gallon, but the Sali-bury merchant replied that the freight ..u tin- X. C Road was so high that he could not purchase in Wilmington to an ad rantagi that ho "received a few hhds. from Charleston, which cost 47 cents, and the charges on that (the S. C.) Road were per bhd. less than by the X. C. Road," which made the mohusea cost less than if bought in Wilmington at 45 cents. The Hi mid hays : "We protest against odious discrimina tions and excessive rates of freight by our railroads, which enure to the detriment of .mr trade and to the advantage of rival eiMaaiuuities. And we call upon the Di rectors of the North Carolina and ot the Wilmington und Weldon roads to set this Matter right at once." 1T The Salisbury Banner of last week say : It i-; with much gratification we hoist t-our mast head the name of Hon. BURTOS CKAIGK as the Democratic candidate for Congress in this district. A convention has been talked of by some: this would be an uuumiuI as well as unnecessary proceed ing, as, o far as we can hear, from Anson t.. Cleavelaad and Catawba the Democrats are a unit in their choice of Mr Craige. We unfurl our banner to the breeze with the name of "Craige and victory" inscribed on its folds, determining to carry it vic toriously through the contest. It is not yet certain that Mr C. will have opposition; yet we presume he will, as there are sev eral ambitious aspirants for the honor. We suggest to our know-nothing friends the propriety and necessity of holding a convention as there are several gentlemen whose ambition runs before their good sense, and it will be with much difficulty they can be kept from the field It is un necessary at this day to say much on the subject. Mr Craige is in the field. His appointments to address his constituent will be published iu due time, so that be will canvass the district thoroughly." Rhode Island. An election took place last week in Rhode Island for State officers and members of Congress. The black re publican ticket was of course successful, teT The Wilmington Journal states that it sleeted and snowed in that place, on Thursday, the 2d instant. RmssdTw Magazine. Mr P. J. Lowrie has laid upon our table the first number of a new monthly Periodical called "Russell's Magazine," just issued at Charleston, S. C. It is handsomely gotten up, and on examin ation we find its pages filled with interesting and valuable matter. The prospectus of the work say : "It U established and designed to meet a commonly felt want, and to give utterance and circulation to the opinions, doctrines and arguments of the educated mind of the South especially, and to promote in its sphere and measure, the progress of a sound American Literature, free from party shackles or individual prejudices." The subscription price is $M per annum, or -J5 cents by the number. Mr Lowrie, at the Rook-store, is the Agent for this place. The Salisbury Watchman is mistaken in saying that it clipped the extract about commercial cities (to which it appeuds a reply) from the "Western Democrat." We agree with the Watchman's remarks on that subject. Atlantic N. C. Railroad. A Golds borough correspondent speaks of the work on this Road as follows : 'The work on the Atlantic road (from GelidhoM In Carolina City ) which is to con nect us with the seaboard, is being rapidly pressed forward. The track is all laid be tween Newborn and Kiuston, a distance of about 31) miles. The cars are expected to run to within six miles of Kiuston in a few days. The work of laying down the iron ou Gov Morehead's contract, between New beia and Reaufort, is about to be commenc ed, and will be pushed forward to rapid Completion." CFTo supply the vacancy ;n the Con gressional delegation from South Carolina, occasioned by the death of Preston S. Brooks, an election will be held on the first Monday and Tuesday in May. There are six candidates. tyThey are about to build a new Court House in Davidson county, at the county eat Lexington. The building is to cost $20,000, and is expected to be the finest Court House in the State. AMERICAN -WHIGS " Half-flesh and half-oZ ?" whigs first, know-nothings second, whigs third, Amer icans fourth, and "American-whigs " fifth and we came near saying last, but as there is no telling how many different names and shapes the opponents of demo cracy will assume, we will not say last. "American-whigs !" who are they? oh! consistency, art thou not a jewel? When the know-nothing party was rather in the ascendancy in the country, it took occasion to denounce both the old whig and democratic parties, pronouncing them corrupt, and as having deceived the people. It is well known that a majority of those who composed the know-nothing organiza tion were previously identified with the whig party; but this fact did not prevent them from adopting a platform declaring their old party corrupt. Now those very men are aga;n claiming to be whigs, but not having the courage to acknowledge shame for their ungrateful course, take to them selves the name of "American whigs," thus implying that a man who is simply a whig is not an American. But the term American-whig is used for the purpose of arraying the men who never bowed the knee to the secret party, togeth er with the dispersed members of that par ty, against the democratic forces which they have not heretofore been able to de feat. How far this amalgamating, soft sodering, unmeaning name and scheme will serve to accomplish their desiies, remains to be scon. Although we have always been opposed to the old whig party, we never yet thought proper to pronounce it corrupt, as did its old friends who fell heels-over-head in love with peculiar Americanism, i. e. know uothingism, and who swore so terribly against Roman Catholics and foreigners, (notwithstanding many of them hugged the "furriners." on election day for their votes.) We say that although we have ever oppos ed the whig party, we know its principles were honestly advocated by some of the best men in the country, and the know nothing party should at least have accorded to them honesty of purpose if nothing else. The men in North Carolina who are now raising the banner of American-whiggery are the ones who shouted "amen" when the platform was promulgated denouncing the whig party as corrupt and unworthy of trust. Is it possible that old line whigs can be deceived into the support of such a heterogeneous party as the one now being organized in this State ? We do not be lieve so, but we shall see what we shall see. N. C. PRESBYTERIAN PAPER. We have received a Circular addressed "to the Ministers, Ruling Elders, Members and friends of the Presbyterian Church in North Carolina," concerning the publica tion of a Church paper in this State. The circnlar is signed by S. Colton, II. McAlis t r, F. K. Nash, N- McKay. W. W. Pbarr, II. B. Cunningham, E. W. Caruthers, W. N. Mebane, C K. Caldwell, J. M. Sher wood, C H. Wiley, Geo. McNeill. Sen., E. Nye Hutchinson. After showing the necessity and practicability of a Church organ for the Presbyterian denomination in North Carolina, the circular says: " We propose therefore to raise the sum of $5.0011 as a permanent capital, to put it on a sure basis and give it a fair ami manly start. To secure this amount, the stock may be divided into 50 shares of $100 each, and we appeal to the Church in North Ca rolina, with the confident hope that the men can bo found who will say, "Let the work go f-urward"! Already 35 shares have been taken, with little or no effort. Should more than 51) shares be taken, we may either increase the amount i f the capital, or by making the shares smaller, say $50 each, increase the number of proprietors. If the paper is conducted on the cash dan, it will be un necessary to call in more than a very small portion of the capital. As soon as 50 subscribers are obtained, it is proposed that they meet at soma cen tral point, in person or by proxy, to select a location, title. Editor or Editors, and make all other necessary arrangements for the publication of the paper. Persons wishing to subscribe to the stock or to make suggestions touching the inter- I eats of the paper, are requested to address Rev. W. W . Pharr, Oak Lawn l ().; Rev. W. N. Mebane, Madison, or Rev. George McNeill, Fayetteville." VW The New York appointments of the President seems to have given general satisfaction, as much so as could have been expected, considering the condition of par ties in that State. The N. Y. Day Book, instead of lending its aid to heal the divi sions of the democracy in New York, com plains about the appointments, the main cause of such complaint being, no doubt, that its particular favorites were not larger recipients. It is stated that the merchants .f the city are well satisfied with the post master and collector. LlbERiA. All free mulattos who want to go to Liberia now have an opportunity. A vessel will sail from Baltimore on the 1st and from Norfolk on the 5th of May, and will touch at all the ports in Liberia. Ad dress Wm. McLain, Sec'y of Colonization Society, Washington, 1). C. Letters for Liberia, sent to his care, will be forwarded. GOVERNOR OF KANSAS. It is stated that the personal efforts of the President caused Mr Walker to accept the Governorship of Kausas Territory. He will not be a mere routine officer, but goes out as a Commissioner with full power to employ all the coustitutional authority of the Government to prevent the occurrence of impending civil war. His Instructions are said to be based on the principle, that the statues of Kansas are valid, tie is principally charged to see that the people have free and independent suffrage in the affairs of the territory, carrying out the provisions of the registry law in the election for delegates and members of the State Convention. The troops heretofore employed are to be removed, and others not before implicated in the affairs of the Territory, substituted ; but not with any expectation of a necessity to call on them for aid. Mr F. P- Staun ton, of Tennessee, has been appointed Se cretary for the Territory, upon whom (ru mor says) the administration of the territory will descend after Walker straightens mat ters and resigns. LATER FROM EUROPE. , The steamer Constitution, with Liverpool dates to the 17tb, arrived at New York on Sd inst. Cotton was firmer at Liverpool on the 17th, but closed buoyant. Uplands slight ly higher, and quotations nominal. Flour had a declining tendency. Wheat firm and active. The Spanish expedition against Mexico, has assumed a more imposing aspect. The overland mail from China had ar rived at London. Its advices confirm ac counts of wholesale attempts at poisoning by bakers. At Hong Kong several hun dred had been poisoned, but none fatally. The proprietor of the bakery was arrested while on his way to Macao. He was to be tried immediately &Hong Kong. A large number of junks were collecting for the pur pose of attacking Hong Kong. Some fears were entertained by the English on account of the sinallness of the land forces. PORT OF WILMINGTON, N. C. In order that the people of the west may know more about the business of our main seaport, Wilmington, we copy from the Her ald the following, which it publishes in con nection with a comparative table of exports for the first quarter of the present year: 'It will be seen from our statement for the quarter which has just expired, that we ; have exported coastwise casks Spirits of Turpentine, less than during the same time last year ; 2,273 bbls. Crude do., more; 13,625 do. Rosin, less; 11,043 Tar. less; 131 do. Pitch, less: 21.300 feet P. P. Tim ber, less ; 408,721) feet Lumber, less; 72. 830 Stares, more ; 11,348 bushels Ground Peas, more ; 921 bbls. Flour, less ; 1,307 bales Cotton, lss; 481 bundles Paper, more; 13.114 bushels Rough Rice, more ; 7,140 bushels Wheat, more. We have exported to foreign countries 2G0 casks Spirits Turpentine more than for the first quarter of 1856 ; CU6 bbls. Crude Turpentine, less ; 8,573 do. Rosin, more ; 1,053 do. Tar. less ; 100 do. Pitch, more ; 55,000 feet Timber, more ; 2,370,051 do. Lumber, more ; 80,000 Shingles, more; 44. 2lt Staves, more ; 40 bbls. Flour, iess ; 00 bales Cotton, less; 120 bushels Wheat, more. It thus appears, that in coastwise exports we have fallen off, as compared with last year, in the articles of Spirits Turpentine, Rosin, Tar, Pitch, Timber, Lumber, Flour and Cotton, and have gained in Crude Tur pentine Staves, Ground Peas, Paper, Rough Rice and Wheat. In foreign exports we have fallen off in Crude Turpentine, Tar, Flour and Cotton, and have gained in Spirits Turpentine, Rosin, Pitch, Timber, Lumber, Shingles, Staves and WTheat." m m m Tkade. The Salisbury Ranner states that business in that town is quite brisk, and that the merchants are selling large quantities of goods. We were prepared to hear this, judging from the liberal manner iu which the merchants of Salisbury adver tise their wares. There are three papers in Salisbury, and we notice their columns are filled with mercantile advertisements, offering inducements to buyers. Merchants who keep their business before the public in the way that our Salisbury neighbors do, are bound to sell goods. ACQUITTED. The jury in the case of Lee, the Clerk, who shot Mr Hume of Alexandria, have rendered a verdict of ac quittal. FURTHER FROM CHINA. A letter dated Canton, Jan. 13, speaking of the burning of that city by the British, says : "The extent which has been destroyed is a line of perhaps two miles along the north bank of the river, and penetrating inwards from 200 to 400 yards. A considerable part of the city has also been burned b' the firing from the fort, which is held by us The fire lasted about twenty-four hours. The admiral has written for about 5.000 men from India; we also expect 400 from Singapore. We have not yet heard what effect these proceedings have had on the Chinese garrison ; the extraordinary thing is, that what we do here does not iu the least affec the other ports of China with which we trade. All accounts show that they arP quite indifferent to this place, and rather glad than otherwise that the Can tonese, whom they hate, are getting touch ed up. mm 9 New Post Offices. A Post Office has been established in Iredell county, called Granite Hill, H. M. Mill. P. M. Also, Happy Home, Rutherford county, W. W. Connolly, P. M. LATER FROM NICARAGUA. Walker again in the Ascendant Fillibust trs Successful in Battle. XfTW YORK, April3. ThesteamorTcxas arrived here last night, from San Juan on the 20th and Aspinwall on the 23d ult. The purser of the Texas reports that Walker's army was iu good condition and well provisioned. Walker with 400 men attacked the Allies at San Jorge, gained the plaza and burnt the important portion of the town. He then retreated to Rivas, which had, during his absence, been attacked by Chamorros with 1200 men, who had been repulsed with great slaughter by Gen. Henningsen. Walker met the enemy retreating, and they were consequently placed between two fires and suffered immensely. Their own ac- j count says they lost 327 killed and over j 300 wounded, while Walker estimates their loss at 000 killed and 5lH) wounded. He states his own loss at 2 killed and 21 wound ed. Walker had the dead bodies buried. Gen. Canes, commander in chief of the Allies, was under arresi for having made overtures to Walker. President Rivas had been assassinated. nPThe case of the deaf mute. Wm. Keck, who recently in a rencontre at the Deaf and Dumb Asylum in Raleigh, acci- j dentally killed another unfortunate inmate j of that'lnstitution, named John C. Harrell, was tried last week, and the Attorney Gen end declining to prosecute the prisoner on ! account of bis affliction, he was acquitted. The prisoner's counsel admitted that he was guilty of manslaughter. The jury re turned a verdict of manslaughter, with re commendation that judgment be suspended. Whereupon Keck was released and return ed to the Asylum Washington, April 3. Innumerable applications have been made at the Post office Department for appointments as Route agents and to small Post offices throughout the country; all of which are entirety fruitless a rule having tven established to make no removals except for cause. NEWS ITEMS. Washington, April I. Mr. Applefon has been appointed Assistant Secretary of State. It is rumored that Wm. A. Harris form erly a representative in Congress from Vir ginia, will be editor of the Uuion. Hon. Sampson W. Harris, a member of Congress from Alabama, died this afternoon. John N. Whitefield has been appointed register, and Daniel Woodson receiver, for the Delaware land district in Kansas ; and Charles E. Mix chief of Indian affairs ad interim. The law for the election in Kansas pro vides that all free white mle citizens of the United States, residing in the Territory on the 1st of April, shall be entitled to vote for members of the Constitutional Conven tion, without any regard whatever to any test oaths. Gov. Walker repeats his opin ion, that Kansas will be a free State. Mexican axu otheu Items St. Louis, March 31. Santa Fe dates of 28th inst. speaks of Indian depredations being on the increase. Several skirmishes had taken place between Mexicans and Indians. Numbers of both were killed. It is reported that Judge Hopper. James Lucas and two other AmericH were kill ed by the Indians near El Paso ; also that James Hobble, who had gone to Souora to buy mules, was killed by the government party. Letters from Santa CruK River of February 3d, says that if the people had encouragement they would declare them selves independent and ask to be annexed to the United States. New Orleans, March 31. Good au thority states that instead of the purchase of Sonora and Lower California, our Gov ernment will conciliate the South by pay ing a designated sum of $15,000,000 for the purchase of the Isthmus of Tehuante pec. It is rumored that Senator Benjamin has been appointed special Commissioner to accomplish the purchase. Scarlet Fever. The scarlet fever in New York exhibits no abatement. The number of fatal cases last week was 46. It is estimated that there are from 1,500 to 2,000 cases under treatment. New Granada and the United States New York, April 1. The New York Herald has a special dispatch, which says that Commissioner Morse and Mr. Bowline, have entirely failed in their mission to the New Granada Government for reparation for the Panama massacre. Washington, April 1. A post mortem examination of a gentleman who died in Pennsylvania from disease contracted at the National Hotel in this city, shows a deposit of arsenic in the stomach.

It is rumor ed that an expedition is about fitting out here for some point in Central America. It is said that it is the intention of the par ty to make the first demonstration against Veragua, a province near Granada, be tween Costa Rica and Panama. Great Equestrian March Albany, March 30. Two sporting men of this city, Taylor and Dalton, started on horse from the Exchange tins morning at 5 o'clock, for a one hundred miles race, without rest or feed. The bets are $2,500 a side. Whites town, Oueida county, was the termination of the race. Taylor's horse arrived at Wbitestown at 5-30 P. M., making the hundred miles in twelve hours and a half, and winning the race. Dalton's horse was a quarter of a mile behind. Stories of Deserters. Walker's de serter's who arrived at New York, tell shocking stories of the suft'erin rs of his men. From their accounts it would seem that the desertion has increased very much since the men learned from the proclamation of Gen. Canas that they would not be shot iu Conta Rica, but be well treated and sent home. They deserted iu squads and whole ranks, with their petty officers at their heads when sent out on foraging expeditions. During ninety days no less than 960 men disappeared, of whom at least 300 deserted. Of the mounted rangers twenty-seven went off in a body, and several conspiracies for largo bodies to d"sert have been detected. One foraging party, numbering 65 men, deserted in a body. A correspondent of the Petersburg Ex press, writing from Goldr-boro', N. C says : "Three negroes two likely young men and an old woman, the mother of twenty children were hung at Greenville, Pitt co, yesterday, for murder. From early mom till noon, every avenue leading into the town wus crowded with persons, represent ing all ages, sexes, classes and conditions of the population in the county. About 9 o'clock in the morning, a steamboat arriv ed from Washington with some five hun dred passengers. The crowd was estimat ed at five thousand persons, of which at least one thousand were females. IW At a sale of negroes, belonging to the estate of Wm. Mc Knight, dee'd, in this place on Wednesday last. Calvin, a young and likely man, brought $1,310.00; Isaac, a man, about 30 a blacksmith, stated to be not entirely sound, brought $l.J9o.OO; Xaiicy, a woman some 50 or 00 y.-ars of age, and afflicted with rheumatism, brought $300.00, all bid off by neighbors of the deceased. This does not look much like our people were all broke. Greensborough patriot. rFThe Hon. Kenneth Rayner addressed a know-nothing meeting in Hertford county one day last week. Some of his expres sions, it is said, were very bitter and vio lent. It is rumored that he will be the know nothing candidate forCougress in the First District. Standard.
