Democrats voted at the last session as Mr They sail to the land of their fathers, Sanders did on questions off internal im earrvinir with them the principles of chris- j provemenf. and differed as he did with the tianity and civilization acquired by their ; sojourn here. . .. the Court submitted to Attorney General Batcheler the question, whether he felt at liberty to represent the slaves as a class, under the head of its being a charitable use, and stated that till they were repre- anted some way, the Court could not hear t or determine the cause. The trial was postponed until the next session, when C i- Wrigh represented the Colonization Society, and the Attorney General tho slaves, in the discharge of his duties that fall under the head of Charita ble I'srs. The Will was executed, say 25 years ago, and, in effect, provided for "the eman cipation of all the negroes he received from his father s estate." Those he received from his father's estate numbered 15 or 20, mostly old. decrepid and worn out. It was contended by C. G. Wright, Esq., and the Attorney General, that the issue born since the execution off the Will followed, and was entitled to the benefits and privileges award el the mother ; and that, in a doubtful case, the law would lean in favor of human free dom. On tho part of Col. John G. McDugald it was argued, that only such as he re ceived from his father's estate, eo nomine, were entitled to freedom under the Will. The Hon. J. G. Shepherd asked the Court to say what the administrator with the will annexed was bound to do; to con strue the Will, and his client would carry it out.

From the Raleigh Standard. LETTER FROM I. B. SANDERS, ESQ. We publish to-day, at the request of Mr Sanders, his circular letter to the people of Johnston county, on the subject of Internal Improvement, Free Suffrage. State debt, Distribution, Sec Mr Sanders has long ac ted with the Democratic party, and for "auld lang syne " and as a matter of simple justice to a public man, we felt that we ought to give hiiu a hearing in our col umns. We do n"t propose to offer any elal orate replv to Mr Sanders, nor to discuss the points which he has made. We differ with i bun in his views on Free Suffrage and In- ternal Improvement; and the difference j between us .... Distribution is radical and j of a representative is to his constituents, and their will should be his, in all cases not j involving conscientious scruples or onsti- j t .tioiml objections ; in which latter event majority of their party friends; yet not . one ! of them has seen proper to assail the party .,. i - t c. 1 .1 ,1 differed with them, has, so far ns we know, either ju stioned their Democracy or cen sured them in the slightest degree for their course. But Mr Sanders, wiser than many others, and uncharitable just in proportion to the stock of wisdom which he possesses, takes his party to task for the resolution adopted on the subject of internal improve ments when Gov. Bragg was first nominated charges in substance, as the Know Noth ing presses and leaders have done, that the people were deceived by the use made of this resolution in different localities, and then hclds his own party up as the main cause of present indebtedness and high taxes, dating these latter from the passage of the Central Railroad bill in 1848, for which he admits he voted ! Not one word of warning is uttered against the tendency of do y the opposition to involve the State in debt, no reference is made to the fact that men of all parties and from all sections voted together for internal improvements in 1S.14 and 1856 ; but the Democratic party is solely to blame, says Mr S.. and Gen. Dock cry, who deliberately broke his pledges to the Western people in moving that vote of reconsideration Gen.Dockery is a patriot, and deserves his "gratitude" and the "gra titude" of the people of Johnston. Gov. Bragg is placed upon a "strange dank" in the platform Gov. Bragg led the Demo cracy in contests in which the party gave "different constructions" to a plain resolu tion in different localities Gov. Bragg and tributimi of the proceeds off public lands" among the States, and substantially, for the assumption hv the general iroveriiment of Democratic party is this exploded issue of distribution. The old Whig nartv had a;i opportunity in 141 to carry it out. but fail ed to do so; and the Know Nothing party did not even condescend to notice it in its platforms. Having beaten them on all their issues, concocted in culverts and in fence corners at midnight, they now come forwai d with this old distribution humbug, filched from the ruins of a former party, as their Only stock in trade. We say that the elec tion off Mr. Buchan in has for the present saved the Union, and given substantial as surance that Southern rights will be ie spected and maintained : and that the great and h ading object off the South should now bf to sustain Mr Buchanan. They say that they rcant money from the federal govern ment to pay tiie State debts ; and that it is more important to have distributionists n Congress than men who will stand bv Mr Buchanan and the true principles of he Kansas-Nebraska act. Here, then, lie two parties stand, and this is the differ nce between them ; and on the main issu. vhich at present divides them, to wit : that of distribution, Mr Sanders has deliberately taken position with the Know Nothing fac tion. He has thus cut himself off from his party, and has fallen "like Lucifer, to rise no more." Mr Sanders, informs the people of John ston that he desires to retire from public life. The people of that county, we doubt not, will very readily acquiesce in his wish. The fact that he will retire is just ascertain as that his intention to do so has been an nounced. The Democracy of Johnston will regret his course on distribution, but they will stand by their principles without j regard to men. They have been engaged for many long years in the noble work of making their county Democratic; and liav ing completed that work, the- will not come j down from the high platform of principle and sacrifice the fruits of all their anxieties and labors, merely to gratify the whim, or the caprice, or the vanity of one who for merly served them, or to endorse the results nf his misguided or mistaken judgment. Democrats like Barnes, and Hohbs. the Tomlinsons, the Watsons, the Whitleys, and hosts of others who might be named, follow not men, but principles. With Levi Woodbury, they "go where Democratic principles lead, and when they cease to lead they cease to f.diow." We have devoted more attention to this letter off Mr Sanders than it really deserves, but we have done so in anticipation off the use which will be made off it against the Democracy by the Know Nothing presses and leaders. They will hail it as a capita! electioneering ducument for "Sam," and Mr Sanders will for the future receive a largo share of their attention and praise. ..r e-nfe E3F The Wilmington Herald of the 23rd, is in one particular a dream book ! It says "there cannot be denied, we think, the existence of a feeling in Western Carolina, and in other portions of the State, of op position to Wilmington." Again "If it be the game on the part of the people of North Carolina to hunt down with spear and sword the brightest jewel in the State's coronet, why then, they can assail Wil mington." What's broke, now ! Why, Mr. Burr discovered in his trip from Wilmington, via Kingsville, Columbia. Chester, &e., and at Charlotte, that the North Carolina Kail Road Company had handbills and cards stuck up in public places, and lying about in the Hotels, advising the travelling public to to try t'teir road ! Those cards set forth that the N. C. road runs through a high cultivated country, and healthy at all seasons of the year, and that it is prefera ble to the Wilmington and Manchester routes, the fare being the same ; and the editor dignifies such a procedure with terms like the above, and declares "it is a grave matter .'" Friend Burr, you have been dreaming. That Chester 'Macearoni done up in cheese,' laid heavy on your stomach, and filled your hwad with ugly visions. Wilmington has no enemies here. Why should she have? We are proud of her, because she is enter prizing and liberal. But, dear sir. won't you allow us the privilege of bragging on our road ? It is one of the very best in the country, and we want the public to know it. And it is true that we think it prefera ble, in some respects, as a travelling road, to the Wilmington and Manchester ; but that, surely, can't be construed into a feeling of opposition to Wilmington ! They are rival roads, so far as Northern and Southern travel is concerned, and we think it is not to be wondered at that they should get up handbills and cards and even living, moving agents, to operate on the travelling public. Salisbury Watchman. High Prices. Everything in the shape of provisions seems to be "going up" just now, and there is no prospect of a reaction until the grass becomes luxuriant, and the growing crops of grain are garnered. Sugar is becoming so expensive, that many hus band's have already determined to dispense with the article, and be content, while they sip their tea and coffee, with the sweet smiles of their fair consorts. Molasses, though fully as dear, occasions less incon venience, the "slap-jack'' season beino- over. Butter has moderated in price, but is vet too loftly for emaciated purses.

The fashionable circles were agitated by the presence of the wife of a live Lord, and her ladyship received numerous calls and party invitations. The American ladies of fashion, elaborately and gaudily attired in flounces and jewels, were surprised to find the English lady in excessively plain dress, totally free from all display, glitter and nonsense. Not a single jewel was visible upon her person. The wife of Lord Napier, however, is a woman off high birth, who can trace her descent from a long line of illus trious ancestors.

The City Council of Columbia, S. C, en tertained the remnant of the Palmetto Regi ment at a public supper on the 14th ult. The Mayor of the city presided. Among the toasts was one in favor of Lawrance M. Keitt, M. C., to which the following re sponse was matle. Mr. Keitt spoke warm ly of his friend and colleague, the late Pres- ton S. Brooks. The South Carolinian says: "In a very modest way he professed to be embarrassed at having to speak, after such eloquence as he had heard, and en deavored to excuse himself, and in tle language of Webster, asked 'Where am I to go ?' but he found the effort to excuse 'no go' and he shook his wmgs and plum ed himself for one of those lofty excursions into the regions of historical incident, effec tive anecdotes, and social stories, which he peculiarly excels in, and in which it is a pleasure to accompany him. He paid a graceful tribute to his college friend, the orator of the day, whom he ventured to say was his classmate guarded with the state merit, however, that the General was a much older man. This he considered im portant in view of his present position in society being yet a bachelor. He said his Excellencv complained that in his tour of service he found making speeches his hardest duty ; he (Mr. Keitt) thought the State must have changed since he attended with the Staff, :n Governor Means' day. when the Champagne duties were the most difficult to discharge. Mr. Keitt said it was out of his line to make a set speech, but with the permission of the company he would ramble along, and give a:i incident or two which he had de rived from General Quitman and others, in relation to the Palmetto Regiment a few cf which we report. General Quitman told him that when a portion of his brigade was ordered into bat tle, Col. Butler was refused to be allowed to go, because the Pubnettos were actually broken down by fatigue and privation, and he was too feeble for duty. He detailed the Nev York Regiment and another, and ordered them forward. Col. Pierce Butler di mandtd "a place in the picture." "No Sir, your place is in the hospital." "Sir!" said he, elevating his noble figure, with fire flashing from his eagle eye "Never, Sir, while the enemy is in sight, and our flag moving onward !" He could not resist him his demand was acceded to, and the regiment took its "place in the picture," a brilliant light in the canvass. Gen. Quit man told him, too, that the flag of the Pal metto regiment was the first tlct waved over the City of Mexico. "Sir, I was with that regiment at the gates of the city, and when I called for a flag to plant upon that gate, the Palmetto flag was the only one there, and that was the flag that first spread its folds in triumph over the Capitol of Mexico. Mr. Keitt mentioned this glorious testi mony to the brave Palmetto boys, because an effort had been made to supplant them and falsify this truthful history. Another incident he could not omit, in his desultory ramble. While others had spoken of gallant commanders who had fallen in the post of honor, there were others and many subordinates and privates, to whom he could award a passing tribute, did time allow, but he would only all.ide to one who had been there, but had fallen in another field, battling for the Palmetto State. He alluded to the noble Brooks his poor friend Brooks his colleague his companion his room mate. He spoke of his nobleness, his gentleness, his magna nimity, and related many beautiful incidents in illustration of his character. He could not trust himself to speak more of him, but his object was now to mention an incident he derived from him. relative to his younger brother who fell at Churrubusco. Poor Preston Brooks had designed and was having executed to wear a signet ring, in memory of his noble spirited brother, when he himself wns taken from the scene of all his earthly honors and labors. When another regiment fled, and all the horrors and scourges of war were pouring down upon the gallant Palmettos, bathed in the blood of their comrades when Shields said. ''Who will follow me?" and Butler said, "We will !" Brooks, yes, the strip ling Brooks, cried out, "Yes, all will follow you to the death !" and he did. The same ball which pierced his body shivered his musket and a shivered musket was to adorn the signet, with the motto talis meru isse. When this brother left home, Brooks told him, his father said to, his old body servant, "Go with him, and take care of him I confide my son to you" How did the good old negro act ? When the bap tism of blood was going on when the perils were lingering everywhere when the hot ignition of stratum was everywhere with none to watch the wounded boy but this old servant, he was at his labor of love, taking care of his charge. Crushed bones worked out from the wound he gathered them up and preserved them. The noble spirit passed out, and the corpse alone was left. What did the old and faithful slave ? The regiment gave him a mule and cart the soldiers helped him to make a rude coffin. With his own hands he placed the earthly remains of his beloved young mas ter in the hearse he conveyed it to Mexico he carried it to Vera Cruz he bore it on shipboard and by railroad to his old mas- I ter's home, and delivered the bodv and the bones of her child to his widowed and be reaved mother, at the lintel of his birth j place. This is literally true. In classic ! story in legendary annals in ancient or modem time where is the equal of this j touching story ; Mr. Keitt discoursed much eloquence in allusion to the noble deeds and daring of the Palmetto Regiment, and asked, what was it that made each one a hero .' It was the memory off Fort Moultrie, of Eutaw, of King's Mountain and the glorious days of Seventy-Six. In the hour of danger and in the crisis of battle the voice of those fields was shouting to them, that they were the trustees of the honor, the pride and gallantry, and heroism off South Carolina and bravely did thev redeem this sacred obligation. It is due to the men who were in this campaign that its history should be written. When the State gathered around the bier of her slaughtered chieftains, she pledged herself that this gallant band should be taken care of and that its deeds should be recorded in history. Courage and patriotism must have exemplars in every age. or they will diminish. The Pal mettos have acted, and made history the State should record it." SERVANTS AT WATERING PLACES. The Charleston Courier makes some excellent suggestions in reference to past management at the White Sulphur Springs, which are more or less applicable to all larger watering places and hotels. Proprietors everywhere should adopt and enforce rules absolutely prohibiting servants from receiv ing bribes for favoring some to the neglect of others, where they owe equal duty to all; nor should it be regarded proper to make them such an offer. "The system of bri ber'," says the Courier, "is utterly and selfishly wrong. It renders the servants neglectful of, and ever insolent to, those who cannot afford to bribe. Invalids throng "to these restorative waters in search of health, and hundreds, nay thousands of them, are in straightened circumstances, and with difficulty, raise the means to bear them thither, and pay their board, and other nec essary expenses. These are the persons I who most especially need attention, and even tender care, and on them full most heavily the neglect, rudeness and other evils, incident to the system of bribery. The selfish rich man buys from the inso lent waiter the most civil attentions and all the luxuries that the table or the place can furnish ; while the poor invalid is denied comforts, and has to scramble for necessa ries. No one is found there to say 'Ho, every one that thirsteth, come ye, buy and eat ; yea, come, buy wine and milk, with out money and without price." On the contrary, he that hath little money, is com pelled to put up with scant attention and with scant fare. Civil and attentive ser vants should be rewarded after they have earned their fee, but should never be bribed in advance. The one practice leads to at tention, civility and order; the other to neglect, insolence and disorder often visit ed, too, on those whose condition should enlist the tenderest sympathy." Railroad Accident. As the special train with the Memphis delegates for Char leston was passing Raccoon Mountain, about twelve miles West of Chattanooga on Sunday, the axel of the baggage car broke, which caused that car and one of the passenger cars to be thrown off the track. The scene, for a few moments, is described as one of terrible excitement and confusion. The passenger car was whirled into the air amid tho screams of the pas sengers, the groans of the wounded and the awful crash of the timbers of the car. Several persons were slightly injured. One man by the name of George Moore, a mem ber of No. 7 Invincible Fire Company of Memphis, was so severely wounded that he died after the arrival of the train at Chat tanooga. Paul C. Kay, a member -if the Liberty Fire Company of Memphis, had an arm broken. Another accident happened to the same train, about one mile and a half North of Social Circle, yesterday morning at 11 o'clock, by the breaking of the truck-wheels of the rear car of the long train. A nnmber of the passengers in the car jumped out, and one of them, Mr. C. Men del, a merchant of Memphis and a member of the German Rides.'-was so severely in jured, tlifit his life is despaired of. One other had his leg brokeu and several were slightly injured. Proposals for Naval Supplies. Navv "Department, Bureau of Construction, Equipmeni, and Repairs, May Z3, 1857.
