The 1*airs.—Don’t forget that this is the
seiutyu for Agricwltural Fairn. The State Fair,
the Ciiniberland County Fair, the RobcHon County
I’air, the Sampson County Fair, are all soon to
he held.
e hope that all of these occasions, and es-
I>eciaUy our own County Fair, will be improved
to the utmost by an intelligent people, Convinced
tliat they do good ererj- way. Come yourselves,
farmers and hou-'iowive?, and bring every thing
you have that is excellent ot it,s kind, that a spirit
ot't-umhition maybe fostered, that you mav be
l*onefitt^l, and your neighbors be benefitted
through YOU.
C.WIT.M. IV.NISIIMKNT.—A Ilalcigh corres-
punJiiit of the IVtorsburg Express writes to that
paper thus:—
)n Saturday, sentence of .leath will be pro-
niiuiieed on Krastu.s W. Hugue, convicted of the
iiiurilt.r of one Parish, dtiring the last session of
the IjCL'islature. liow much a j»enitentiary is
needed in this State! Hlooi)!! 13LO()l>!!!
is the characteristic of the Criminal Code of any
Mate which is without onel “The Whipping
iV>st and “Stock.s” are the relics of a barbamus
age, and 1 trust the day is not far distant when
they will be swept from the face of the earth.”
So, for that matter, ure prisons relics of a bar
barous age, punishment of any kind is a relic of
a barbarous age. Shall they all be swept away?
“\\ haso slieddeth man’s blood, by man shall his
blood be shed,” is the fiat of the Great Lawgiver,
which has never been repealed. The penitentiary
is one of the modern inventions to nullify this
law. Ts the world any better for it? Ts blood
shed less frctjuent? ()n the contrary, do not men
kill now, in States where penitentiaries exist,
more frequently than here, and simply because
they arc not afraid of the gallows there, as they
are hero? No, no; let us have no schools for in
struction in vice and crime. We are doing better
than our sister States now; let well enough alone.
Kocjvks Caught.—Two negro men have been
arrested in Wilmington for stealinL: a box of boots
and shoes from the pavement in front of Hed
rick Si Ryan’s store, and two shopkeepers named
Henry and Claus Schriever, with the wife of the
latter, were arrested for having purchased the
stolen goods. The wife bad thrown two bags,
containing the stolen property, into a well.
Frost.—We have had frost for two or three
mornings past.
Drainage of (’ities.—Experience shows that
the health of cities and towns depends in a great j
degree upon their being effectually drained. The I
city of Charleston has just been systematically j
drained, and the result is, it has been this year j
the healthiest city on the continent. Wilming- j
ton undoubtedly owes it-^ improved healthfulness |
to the reuioval of all marshes and pools of slag- j
nant water. Much yet remains to be done in
a.' the Pemocrats, vide Matteson, \c. consider | Fayetteville—much that can he easily done by
that it i.« dointr K>d service by stealing from the means of the streams which intersect it on three
^ uth. We think that party is destined to get ! sides. We hope, now that we have progressed so
int'i power, but let it never be by the aid of | far as to have a railroad and gas, that the next
'■ 'Uthern votes. ; step will be a system of drainage. Here is what i
r hope that the Southern Opposition mem- i has been done in Charleston:— j
r-i will not unite with either of the other parties. “A tidal ilrain has been laid through one of'

la.xt would be equivalent to giving the

r dt inonibers than any one other party, we
; think that course likely to be adoj>ted, ex-
,,j,f the last extremity. Parties will stand

either of the other parties is plactni in
p' wi-r.
Senator Crittenden.—We are glad to see
our own good opinion of this distinguished Whig
statesman confirmed even by one of hia distin
guished political opponents. Senator Toombs of
Georgia ia ttated to have said recently, that
There it no man in the country more reliiibU
than Crittendfn. While he (Mr. Toombs) diff
ered from Mr. Crittenden, tJiere is no man more
honest or honnmhle, or more readi/ to stniid hy
th> riijltts of tUr South in the S9nate or the bat-
t/e-fiefd.”
Again: Mr. To«.>mbs “declared Mr. Crittenden
to be one of the j^mrett tnrn uitd most devoted
j-atnots in the country; that he would be cit^ to
pieces before he would wrong his conscience or do
aught against the interest of his country.”
A U. S. Senator Killed.—The la.st accounts
from California furnish the particulars of a duel
between Senator IJroderick and Judge Terry, of
the Supreme Court of California, in which the
former was mortiilly wounded, dying after three
days of extreme suffering. The quarrel was a
political one.
It is a humiliating spectacle, that of the high
est judicial officer and the highest jiolitical officer
of a State fighting a duel. Almost as humiliat
ing was the blackguardism on the stump which
preceded the fatal meeting. Neither of the par
ties appears to have had much character a.s decent
men. IJroderick. before he left New York .some
ten years ago, was ‘"the keeper of a drinking
saloon, which became the resort of Democratic
Clubs and the rendezvous of the Tammanyites of
the lower Wards during the elections. A native
of the City, ‘-Dave,” as he was familiarly called,
achieved the rank of a “fighting” leader in the
Democratic ranks, and was the leader of a g*ang
of rowdies who called themselve.s the “liutt
Enders.’' So say the New York papers.
He appears to have acquired great influence in
California, though defeated at the recent elec
tion. San Francisco was profoundly agitated in
consequence of his death. Terry was arrested;
the public being incensed against him. 'I’he af
fair is likely to lead to much trouble in ('alifornia.
Two Faces Underonk Hood.—Whilst South
ern people are called on to support the Democra
cy because it is said to be "national,” and in fa
vor of slavery, the Albany Argus, the leading
New York Democratic paper, denies that the
Democratic party has labored for the extension
of slavery, but declares that so far from this,
“every addition to our soil, for tho last fifteen
j years, has been fnce ttrritory." As a clincher,
it adds:
“Roth Houses of Congress and the power of
(fovernment have been with the Democrats, and
they have carried all these measures and been
thwarted in none. The annexation of Texas, the
organiiation of (’alifornia and New Mexico, the
partition of Oregon, the organization of Nebras
ka and Kansas—every measure has been carried.”
These arguments, it will be perceived, are for
Northern consumption. Nobody now doubts
Senator Hammond’s suggestion that the Kansas-
Nebraaka bill was “a delusion and a cheat to the
South.” Yet the Southern leaders still advise
closer bonds of affinity with their “Northern
allies.” this self-same Democracy which boasts
that every thing which it has done has been for
“the extension of free territory.”

More Ahont the Filihustcrs.—The Filibusters
who were arrested at the Pass have arrived in this
city, in custody of the Marshal. Captains Maury,
Fas.eaux and Scott were held to bail in the sum of
8oO(IO each. The rest of the men were left at
the Barracks below the city, but having no guard
over them, decamped. The Filibu.sters compell
ed the soldiers to leave the steamer, coming up
the river. They state that they were out on a
fiahing excursion.
Steamboat Accident.—While off Cape Hatte-
ras. on her way to Havana and New Orleans,
the ijuaher City had her machinery disabled by
a general smash up of the engine, so as to render
further progress under steam impossible. The
larger part of the passengers were landed at
Hampton Roads, while a few preferred to re
main on the steamer, which continued her voyage
unler sail. She has not since been heard from
and fears arc entertained of her loss in a gale on
Sunday night. The crew and 28 passengers re
mained on board.
The U. S. ('utter Harriett Lane was despatch

Ilk it has much of the lamenting tone at-
tDbuted to the prophet. In truth, it is a plain
and brief statement of facts, conden.^ed from dif-

Kxactly so; a plain statement of facts, .showing
' w Wilmington had made sundry mistakes, to
!:er own damage and to the benefit of N'irginia
and South Carolina. To all of which we added
some other facts called for by the occasion. 'I'he
J-.urnal replies that we “attribute to Wilmington
’liings of which she is not guilty,” and adds,— j
‘ That we in North Carolina have no State sys-
t Ml of public works is not the fault of VVilming-
although it may be her misfortune. That
the Wilmington iV Weldon Koad was not the
ihnington iV Raleigh Road, is not tho fault of
iiuiiiigton. So with many other things. And
• a mere personal matter, we may be permitted
■>' i } that it was not our fault that the Wilming-
’■ fi. ( harlotte it Rutherford Road did not take a
uffer- lepth of the new and old drainage—an effect
which, in a climate like this, and with a city upon
a low level, must contribute greatly to its salubrity.”

Costly Mails.—In addition to the wasteful
cost of the overland California mails, the official
paper says, “It i.s probable that it will be found
necessarv' to station a party of troops at Pawnee
Fork to escort the mail thence to v?old Spring,
and thus obviate the recurrence of sueh calamities
as that which it is our painf ul tiuty to announce.”
That is. the murder by the Indians of the mail 1 ering the great good which has been done by the

Kalkkjh, N. C., Oct. 8
Dear £.ij>re»!^:—The Superior (^ourt of triis
county has adjourned for the term. Tho session
has been a laborious one, and more business has
bet n done, by double, than usual. It is all ow
ing to the promptness and zeal, or rather, indu.s-
try of Judge Shepherd, who presided. But the
lawyers say that when to accomplish these ends
he opens (.'ourt at S and o’clock in the morn-
I ing, he is making things rather inconvenient, if
not /hrr»Vi/. But, this is a small matter consid-
another mail stage had been intercejited by In
dians, and that Mr. Otero, delegate to ('ongre.ss
from New Mexico, and his wife, J udge Watts and
his wife and son, and Judge I'orter were passen
gers in it.
It does not a]»j)ear to have occurred to the offi
cial pajycr that it might be better t» discontinue
the route, rather than to have a military e.scort
for it.
Tuk Episcopal Convention.—The House
of Bishops dissented from the resolution of the

Uailronil Iron.—Among the arrivals this morn

Holmes, from Newport, England, to Master, with
Iron for the Wilmington, (,’harlotte & Rutherford
Railroad.
We think some twelve to fif’teen miles of the
al'ove road are laid, and much more would have
been done but for the excessive rains in the lat
ter part of the Summer. It will now be pushed
forward as fast as the means at the disposal of
the Company will permit. It is expected, we be
lieve, to reach the Pee Dee River in all of 18)U.
The iron is secured at any rate.— IIV/. Journal.

THE KANSAS UCKSTION RKVIVKD.
Tho telegraphic reports of the election recent
ly held in Kansas on the adoption of the consti
tution framed at Wyandotte announce th it that ;
instrument has been ratified by a majorit}' of the ;
inhabitants of the Territory. We may therefore '
expect that the admission of' Kansas into tho '
l'nion under that constitution will be a.'ked at '
the hands of ('ongress on the opening of that :
body at its approaching se.'sion. |
It will be remembered tliat by the terms of the |
“Hnirlish (’onfercnee bill,” pntviding for the con- ;
tiiiirent admi.^sion of Kansa.s into the Cnion un- i
der the constitution framed at Lecompton, it was |
ordained that in ca.e the people of that Territttry !
should refuse to accept the arrangemmt then
profft'red by ('ongress, they should not procee.l
to the formation of a new constitution and State ,
'rovernuient preparatory to their admission into ■
the Cnion until after it should have been ascer
tained by a census, taken under the ausjiices of j
the Federal (iovernnient, that the territory con- |
tained a population ecjual to or greater than the j
existing ratio of Federal representation in the :
House of Representatives. |
The propriety of this rule is ailmitted by all as '
a general proposition, but its application to the
case of Kan.sas alone, when it was expressly repu
diated in the admissicm of Oregon at the last ses-
siot;. does not ailmit of such ea-^y ex]ilanation or
justification on the part of the Democracy.
It remains to be seen whether they will ignore
the “compromises” of the Knglish bill, as framt'd
bv themselves less than two years ago, or whether advance on cost
thev will insist upon a rigid adherence to the
terms of the arrangement then concerted to servi*
as a graceful retreat from the Lecomj ton contro- j
verify. The ijuesti«»n undoubtedly presents a di- |
lemma which leaves but little choice between its |
two horns, and adds another illustration to the i
accumulated teachings by which history incul- j
cates the advantages of never departing from the ■
stra’trht line of political justice to follow the tor- ;
tuous paths of a shifting and temporary policy.
