J^tiuugrutic luajyrity «u joiut ballot HO. la .Mr Bki.l ani» the RruH'i^>F Petition.— We see in the Wilmington Journal of the 10th inst., an article taken from a Southern Democrat ic paper, in which a wonderful discovery i.s herald ed to the world in all the pomp and eiriiumstance of glaring capital.'^. “Mr. Bell (Mucb i.s the dis covery) invariably voted with the North again.st the ‘Jlst Rule.” This was the celebrated Rule against abolition petitions. We do not know whether Mr. Bell invariably voted against the Rule, or whether he may at times have not voted at all, or at others voted for it. The search would be troublesome, and we doubt whether it has been made by the paper making the statement or by that which circulates it. Hut we hope and be lieve that Mr. Bell did invariably vote against that Rule. \o better votes could have been given by a Southern man; and prominent among the few a;ood things tor which the lion. T. L. Clingmau, Democratic C. S. Senator from North Carolina, deserves honor in North Carolina and the South is A/s action on this 2lst Rule. He voted against it, spoke against it, and worked against it, until it was repealcni—unfortunately too late to cor rect the incalculable amount of mischief that its jiassage and enforcement had effected; for f/ta( Ruh icas thf mukiny of the abolition party. We believe that it wa.s repealed by a Democra tic House: we knoic that efforts to restore it after its repeal were rejected by Democratic Houses^ and that for many years past of De.nocratic power, no such Rule ha.s existed. Tho!»e rejections and final abandonment viiidicated the sound policy of Mr. Beir.s votes. The only difference on the matter between Mr. Bell and the Democrticy is that it required some years of bitter experience- of the evil they had wrought to teach than the pro priety of acting a.s lie had acted from the first. No Ch.anck.—Hon. James L. Orr of South Carolina, late Democratic Speaker of the T. S House of Representatives, writes in reply to an invitation to become a candidate for the Legisla ture a letter on general politics. He .says he is earnestly and cordially for Breckinridre and Lane, but he can ‘‘see no prospect of their election either by the people or otberwi.se.” He thinks Lincoln will be elected, and that the Soutfi iiMist at once.promptly break up the rnion. .Mr. Orr is altogether right as to the prospects of the Breckinridge ticket. Those who controlled the movement resulting in its noir»ination have never had the slightest idea of succes.s, for they know that u Breckinridge electoral ticket will not be run in a suflicieut riumber of State.s to elect should it succeed in every one of them. They intended beyond all question, we think, to elect Lincoln and “precipitate the cotton States into a revolution.” But tbe people will disappoint them. MoRi Democratic Tickets.—Not .satisfied with three setj> of Democratji in the fJ^ld for Presi dential honors, “The Committee of I’ubliclSafety,” (iforge R. Herick, Sec’y, Washington City, have i.'sneJ an address in fa^ or of Judge Samuel Nel son of New i ork for l*resident, and James B. Clay of Kentucky for Vice President. The cnu- mittee believe that to prevent the success of the Black Republicans, thought to be otherwise in evitable, Messrs. Bell, Breckinridge and Douglas will oheerfnlly decline in favor of this unobjec tionable and excellent ticket. The Democratic Expositor of Portsmouth, \ a., nominates for President, Andrew Johnson, of Tennessee, and for Vice President, Tlios. II. Seymour, of Connecticut. Their merits arc argued at great length, and then the editor “pauses for a reply” from the people. As yet there are no in dications that “the people” will reply. Very little have they to do with such matters. ILash Pro.mise.s.—The Raleigh Press jtub- lishes a lengthy obituary notice of ad valorem. W e do not read obituary notices except in proof reading and have not read that in the Pre.^, but we take it for granted that it is like other obituary notices, which have so bad a name that there is a proverb about them more truthful than complimentary. The Newbern Enquirer abo, al luding to the Craven County W'hig Commoners, says:— “But as to the doctrine which they have ad vocated in the contest now closed, if the hand of political resurrection )hould ever rai.se it from the depths of oblivion to which the people have con signed it, we shall always be prepared, :is long as we can wield a pen, to do battle for its utter and complete annihilation.” We have only a word or two of caution to our indiscreet contemporaries. Let the Press take care that the Democracy in the next Legislature do not re.surrect the body which it has buried widi so much abuse; and let the P^nquirer see to it that six months hence it may not be explaining to its readers why and how the Democracy have initiated a movement for establishing ad valorem. We are in earnest, for we have not a doubt that the Democratic grave-diggers will soon be found about the place where tlio Press has deposited ad valoreni’s body. If the I’ress can only keep them off for two years, we will show it the ghost as lively as ever. E.nolikii ani> French Naval Forces.—The British Premier, Lord Palmerston, has created “a sensation” by stating in Parliament that the liritish Navy ia no longer able to protect the country from invasion by France, and that it is even incapable of defending itself and the dock yards against the French fl«et. He therefore has asked for a very large appropriation for coast fortifications &c. This has led to an inquiry into the relative strength of the English and French navies, and it appears that the entire fighting force of the BritishNavy is represented byanumber approximating to 11,000 guns. The French, on the other hand, have but ^,422 guns of steam and sail-t>hipping. But the Frcnch naval force is not scattered over the world for the protection of colonial posses-sions; it can all be readily concen trated and fully manned; while the English in case of war with France, which tlie Premier re gards as imminent, cannot accomplish the for mer without loss of their colonies and cannot effect the latter at all, as has been shown by the late extraordinary but un3ucces.sful endeavors. Fine Melon.—Mr. Angus McUill has our thanks for a fine water-melon of 27 lbs. weight. Mr. McGill has pleased the community and pro fited himself we hope by the large quantities of fine melons he has brought to market for some years past. EDITORIAL CORRESPONDENCE. New York, Aug. 9, IHOO. 1 reached "here yesterday afternoon, in fifty hours from Fayetteville, and .so wearied that I have come to the concluaion that one of two things tnust be true, viz: that Tailroad and steamboat traveling must be more fatigueing than stage trav eling was thirty years ago, or, that I am not .so young as I was tliirty years ago. One or the other of th«se must be true, I sa}', for I could then ride in the stage day and night five or six days, not only without fatigue but with abso lute enjoyment, whereas two days l>y the present uncomfortable conveyances use me up. And I am as much inclined to complain as the fellow was who demurred to paying a dollar for having a tooth drawn without pain, because another dentist had dragged him all over the room to get out another tooth and only charged him a quarter. Every thing is very dry here. I think the crops and the grass have suffered decidedly more than in that part of North Carolina and Virginia through which 1 traveled. The later corn look ed very fresh and promising until I ^ot into New J ersey. I auppose the full result of our election is known by this time. Probably to-day’s Observer will have it all. I was sorry to learn at Raleigh and Weldon that Ellis’.'^ majority will be greater than I supposed when I left Fayetteville on Monday, and that even some of the Legislative elections were more favorably reported at first than is jus tified by more complete returns. The erroneous return.^ from the North Eastern part of the State came to us through a Democratic source, altogether reliable, but he wa.s himself deluded by false re ports. One or two men of business with whom I have talked here, regard tbe prospect* of Bell and Ev erett as improving, and think that they only cmi prevent the election of Lincoln. In my ride down town this morning in one of the Fourth Avenue cars, it was my fortune to sit next to two individuals whose relation to each otlier was very soon perfectly apparent—the coun try merchant and the city “drummer.” The lat ter was very assiduous in pointing out objects of interest and answering questions. In paa.siug through Centre street, a pair of immense ca.st-iron bull doga, with chains around their necks, on each side of a door, attracted the attention of the verdant individual, who inquired “what they manufactured there?” “Bull dogs,” replied the drummer, with a slight smile about the corners of his mouth. “Oh,” wah the dubious response of the customer. 1 don't know that the incident would have made any impression on me but for an anecdote about New York bull dogs, that 1 heard some time ago, running somewhat after ihi.s fashion: During the Scott and Pierce campaign of 1S52, a notorious Deiuocracic politician Ls said to iiave ^one out to one of the benighted precin-jt.s of his county, where “Democracy is the thing that thrives,” to make a speech. In the course of hia harangue, he told the people that Gen. Scott kept a pair of bull dogs at his door, which were perfectly tame and quiet whenever a ricfi man came tu viiiit the old Gene ral, but when a poor man came they fell upon him and tore him to pieces. He wound up by a.ssuring the l>emocracy that he wouldn’t have believed it i^' he hadn't seen it hunself. It is scarcely neces sary to say that there wa.s no wit in his crowd to reply to this, that aa the^ had not seen it, they could not be expected to believe it. But there was a townsman of the orator in the crowd, who rode into town in advance of the speaker, and told of the marvelous fiction tfiat he had heard related to the crc*dulous Democracy. By the time the orator reached town the story was pretty gen erally known, and wherever he appeared iu the streets he was greeted with a succession of “Ih>w- wows!” lie was not at all abashed, for his end was answered, and doubtless there are many a- mong his hearers who still religiously believe the .story of (ien. Scott and his bull dogs. Elections in other States.—The Bell and Everett men have won a glorious victory in Ken tucky, the home of Mr. Breckinridge. That State lias given heavy Democratic majorities for some years past; last year nearly 10,000, we believe. Fifty-three counties heard from since the election on Monday last give an Opposition majority of more than 22,000, and the majority in the whole State will be very large. The election was for a Clerk of the Court of Appeals, and was, as usual, a thorough party contest. Gen. Coombs is the successful candidate. The Breckinridge Demo cracy attribute part of his very Urge majority to the I^ouglasites. The Missouri election is yet in doubt between the Bell and Douglas candidates for Governor. The Breckinridge man when last heard from had less than 1,000 votes. Nothing from Texas so far. The election was held there last Monday. Bell and Evkrett in Virginia.—The Ports mouth Va. Expositor (Democratic) saya of the contest in that part of Virginia:— “One would naturally conclude, from reading the leading democratic papers in this city and elsewhere, that Douglas and Breckinridge were the only candidates in the field. The whole strife i.s between the two, tfie common enemy is wholly forgotten, who will win a triumph without a strug gle.” And again:— “A very intelligent gentleman, who has been spending several weeks in Eastern Virgina, in forms us that numbers of old line Democrats, men who have never voted any other tlian the Demo cratic ticket in their lives, are becoming so thoroughly disgusted with the present disgraceful quarrel among the self-constituted leaders of our party, that they have determined to vote for Bell and Everett. This is one of the legitimate results of the Kilkenny cat fight now going on. It will keep thousands of Democrats from the polls, and drive thousands of others into the support of the Union party.” Trouble in W^ake.—The Breckinridge Demo cracy, we see by a communication in the Press, are bent upon “purging” the political offices in Raleigh. The Post Master at Raleigh and the keeper of the State House are named as two of the “wolves in sheep clothing’' who must “be made to walk the plaak." Mktiors.—The long accounts published of the I THREE D.VVS LATER FROM EUROPE, great meteor a few weeks ago have induced notices i New York, Aug. 11 1860. of !>imilar phenomena (on a smaller scale) in many ' .\driatic from SoiJthampton has arrived at „ , »ir c T . . this port. She brings ijtverpool dates to the Jlst parts of the country. W . h. JiOng, an engineer in | W’^estern North Carolina, writes to the National In telligencer on the 8d inst., that on the preceding night “about ten o’clock, while riding in the stage from Morganton to Asheville, I heard a his.sing noise, and, on looking towards the place whence it seemed to proceed, I saw a meteor, in general appearance like i rocket, the head being of a bright white light and the tail or ittiA-e of a bril liant red. II was at an elevation of about ten de grees, and was visible for over twenty seconds, when it disappeared behind a mountain. Its course seemed to be nearly northwest. There were nine persons in the coach besides myself, and all heard the peculiar hissing noise, most of them before the light was visible.” On the same night, and at about the .same time, we saw at this place a meteor answering the above description in all save the hissing noise passing in the same direction. A few hours previous, when returning from the polls at dusk, we saw another pa,ssing almost directly West. Both were so low, apparently, as to pass within a few feet of the roofs of the two-story Iiouses on our streets. An Augusta letter describes that mentioned by the Asheville letter as “about the size of a large dinner plate, of a whitish light, and burst, in the North-East, into a great many fragments—some say with a report—others did not hear any explo sion. The moon was shining with great brilliancy at the time, and yet so great was the increase of the illumination, and so sudden, that persons in their beds leaped from them to their windows to see what was the cau.se of the strange phenome non.” A Knoxville letter says it wa.s about the .size of the moon, and appeared to be a most brilliant blueish white light; while throughout its whole course it shot out numerous small pieces, which look ed very much like the “stars” shot out from a sky rocket. About one or one and a ha// minuteg after the meteor had disappeared, two distinct re ports were heard, as though the meteor had ex ploded, one immediately succeeding the other; when, for about tico minutes, there was such a re verberation throuKh dome and arch in sjiace, as I never heard before. It mounded very much like a distant earthquake, only it was very distinct.” And a college Professor in Ohio describes it as ap- jjcaring “in the southern heavens, about one- third of the distance between the horiron and the zenith, a bright ball of fire, resembling the moon in size, and color. At its first point it remained stationary for several seconds, increasing in bril liancy from a pale red to a silvery white, encir cled by a ring of green. It then shot through the heavens in a horizontal, wavering line, from ea.st to west, with immense velocity. At first, sparks of tire were emitted, which changed as the fiery ball increased in speed, to streams of light of the most beautiful colors, and of such brilliancy a.> to dazzle the eyes, and left in its train a vepy luminous band, equal to one-half of its own di ameter, in which several of the colors of the rainbow were distinctly exhibited. As it entered the western horizon its course was more irregular, and the flame a^ain changed to a deep crimson. The ball continued its antics until it was lost be hind the clouds, leaving a trace of its path until it quite vanished from sight.” 7’he Late Klections.—The Washington corre>»- pondent of the (!!ineinnati Enquirer, (Douglas Democratic) ha.s the following relative to the late elections: The elections give little aid or ctimfort to the administration in North Carolina. The majority is largely reduced, and in Kentucky the success of Coombs is a terrible blow to the hopes of Breck inridge, demonstrating a.s it docs bis weakness in his own State, and where he is be.st known. The moral effect must be tremendous. His advocates to-day walk the avenue with elongated counten ances. The National Democracy of North Carolina have called a State Convention soon to be held at Raleigh, to nominate Douglas and Johnson EleC'^ to>^. The ticket will receive a large portion of the votes lately cast for Ellis. Our friends there fei=T, unless Breckinridge withdraws at once, Bell and Everett will carry the State by a large ma jority. The result of the Kentucky election is perfectly overwhelming and crushing to the Se- "ceders. 'They expected the election of McClarty by twenty thousand majority; they were assured by Marshall and others, late leaders of the Bell party, that McClarty would receive a large vote from the Opposition, and that a.s for the Douglas opposition it amounted to nothing. You can imagine their consternation when the thunderbolt came upon them of his defeat by a groat many thousand. This result has .sati.sfied all discerning men that all hope for Breckinridge in the South is at an end; and if he can not carry Kentucky, wliat State can he carry? Ijet our friends in Lexington or Frankfort be on the look-out for a caucus of the prominent Bolters from various Southern States, who are to meet the Vice President as to the policy of his withdrawal. You may rely upon it that the strongest kind of a pressure for his declination is to be made, and in all probability the effort will be successful. General Lane is now in North Carolina, and has been coldly received; his utter rout in Oregon has so disgusted him, that it is doubtful whether he will ever return to that State. The homes of both Breckinridge and Lane have now repudiated them. Judge Douglas has received, recently, the most pressing letters to visit the South, and in response to them he contemplates going as far South as Georgia. Tennessee.—We have seen several letters from that State, in which 10,000 majority for Bell and Everett is the lowest calculation. The Kentucky Election is having a telling ef fect upon the South and W’^est. If Breckinridge cannot carry his own State,—why nin him, is the general question.—X. Y. Express. Progress of the Cause in Viryinia.—We arc gratified to announce to our friends throughout the length and breadth of the land, that the cause of Bell and Everett in Virginia is onward and upward! From hundreds of letters received from every portion of the State, and from interviews with influential leaders of our party from every portion of it, we are convinced that a spirit is abroad in this good old Commmonwealth, which ensures the fifteen electoral votes of Virginia for the glorious nominees of the Constitutional Union party. We have never witneissed, in any previou.s canvass, 30 much confidence on the part of our friends in the final result and the want of confi dence has heretofore been the cau.se of all our defeats. We can carry Virginia for Bell and Everett against the Democracy, whether the De mocracy combine in support of a common electoral ticket or not; and we can carry it easily and tri umphantly.—Rich. Whiy. ^ General Gass.—The reported resignation of Secretary Cass has no foundation. It probably arose from the fact that his health has been grad ually declining for several months past. A Democratic Editor in Eastern North Caro lina offers a bet that the Democratic Editor in a neighboring town tries to pass for a white man, and another bet “that he ia a free nigger.'* I All the Kniilish War steamers in the dock yards j are to be made ready for the next emergency. ] 'J'urkey accepts of the proposed intervention in Syria.

The Rumored Deutli of the Emprror of China. —The Allgemeiiie Zeitung, of Augsburg, re ports by way of Russia, that it was believed in Chinese official circles, that the Emperor Hien- Fung had died, or was dying, of an old trouble in one of his legs. Should this report be con- fintied it is quite p>o.s«ible that the allies may recel e propositions of peace from Pekin. The Ropulation of Baltimore.—The United States 31arshal has been enabled from returns furnished by his d^'jmties to present some stati.s- tics relative to the population of Baltimore. The population of the city is 219,818, being an in crease in the last ten years of 50,764. If from the population we deduct the number of colored j)ersons, both free and slave, say some iiO.OOO, there remain 189,118 white inhabitants. • * lialtiinore American.
