The Nortli Carolina delegates canic home, and they and their followers (the Governor in cluded) explained the disruption as merely the work ot W illiam L. \ ancey and his disunion fol lowers, for whom, if the North Carolina Demo cracy were to be believed, hanging was altogether too creditable a mode of making their exit from earthly scenes. They would put down Yancey at Baltimore, they said. They aet to work to ac complish this object, and became Douglas men to effect it. In ake Couhty (we take Wake only as a marked instance ot what was the general feeling) there was a great Democratic Convention. The Governor’s organ was in the Convention, and on the resolution committee. The committee re ported tor Douglas, and the Convention unani mously ratified the committee. Not satisfied with th is, Mr. Flolden reported a stump speech in the shape of resolutions, reciting all the glorious I deeds done by the “Little Giant” in behalf of the I Jiouth. Ihe (Convention unanimously ratified j that. A great Dougla.s-.speech was made by Mr. I Miller. Mr. Douglas was his “first choice.” All I ratified that. In fact the “Little (}iant” was plastered all over with ratifications and endorse- ment«; and though short of limb the “Little Giant’s” back is broad, and could hold and did hold a great number ot them. All this occurred in May—/our month.t ayo. The reader of the foregoing synopsis of Demo cratic doings will be edified by reading a few paragraphs from the Ciovernor's organ of Monday last—types merely of what we see every day in the other organs, occupying four months ago and now the same positions a: tlio.se taken then and now by the Raleigh organ. Some may wish to know whether the or>;ans were sincere in their Fusion in New York.—The twg wings of the DeuKKsratic party closed their negotiations on .'Saturday night, having failed to agree upon any | opinions in May, or are sincere in September, or plan of union against l^incoln. Which parly is in the wrong we cannot say and do not care. Each abuses the other as in fault. To outsiders it would seem that if the Breckinridge bolters can fuse with the Douglas wing they might as well have remained in the Convention at Balti- uiore. e were told that the bolt took place be- v;Vi'' “Douglas is worse than Seward.” whether they are so at all. As an aid to the de termination of those questions, we can only say that in the following reasons alleged as final against Judge Douglas, there i.s not one which has !iad its origin since May; if true at all, they were known to be true in May. They all date back to 1>57 , as the reader will see:— “Judge Douglas ha.s spent the last three years .;e Express (Bell and Kverett) haa not vet i of his life in endeavor ini' to break up the organ- ;ten up hopes of a union of all parties; nor have i of t'be Democratic party, knowinj at the given up hope .h.t tho „moo alread, iormed ! between the Dougla.s and Bell parties will over- | -Ju.lgo Douglas has spent the three last year« whelm Black Republicanism.

It was a juiut meeting of Bell, Breckinridge and Doug las men, was addressed by Fernando Wood, H. W. Hilliard of Ala., Gov. Morehead of Kentucky, and others, and resolutions were adopted and steps taken for the appointment of an electoral ticket which should meet the approbation and re ceive the cordial support of all opponents ot Black Hepublicanism. This new attempt at fusion may vdcceed. but it is not unlikely that the ticket tv.j tormed will only serve to divide still fur- tUT Ac jpposition to Lincoln, by adding another I r rit three electoral tickets already in the field. Ii,e Democratic factions are not likely to yield any ■; r.^ :o each other now. But we hope for the : v't, and in the meantime we may all read the - ^ ,1 —k- u .u V u . e the States, it was his purpose to ..;erin>_' words which the hxpress has to say of . \ v- , .. ^ ^ •' I territories to the North. equality of the States. And yet, our neighbor talks about Judge Douglas' bein'; the friend of the South. “The fact is, the history of Judge f>ouglas is not known, as it should be. His life has been gilded by a few great speeches, and the blotches have not been shown. We intend to show, in future numbers, that Judge Douglas, even when pro- fes.sing great friendship for the South, has been playing into the hands ot the abolitioni>ts, and we intend to do it from the records. We intend to show that, in he backed d«.)wn from the principles of his Kan.sas Nebraska Bill, at a time when under that Bill he thought the South was about to acquire a Slave State. .\nd we intend to urge the tact, that, while holding out the idea to Southern men, that the object (♦ his popular S.jvereignty doctrine was to give equality t.> all Kive all the •-L • _'r. atest popular demonstration ever wit- !

How glorious was the re- •; • th. tull report of the proceedings, else- whi;r.', will ,how.

We have recited these facta and copied these paragraphs, not for the purpose of showing incon si.stency in the Raleigh Pre.ss or in its co-laborers. That is a small matter. But it is for the people to inquire if they can again placc confidence in and follow the lead of those who were so ready to deceive them, but four months ago, into tho s?upport of a traitor “worse than Seward;” such a traitor as is described above by the Pre.ss. Thk Di.slnion SciiKME.—Mr. Yancey, the great leader of the Breckinridge bolting Demo cracy, was and probably is chief of “The league of L’nited Southerners,” an a.ssociation in the South —“the cotton States.” The object of that a.sso- ciation, as declared by Mr. Yancey, is to “//r? thf ty/uthcrn henrt, inMrnct the Southern minl, jirr courage to ea> h r>ther, and at th*’ projier timr, },y one organized, concerted art>->n, ire ran prrci/)i- tatf th) cotton StatfK ititn a r('rolutir,nHaving taken his means to prepare the South for the crisis, Mr. Yancey set to work to bring about the crisis, by breaking up the Democratic party with the design of electing a lilack Republican to the Presidency. .Vfter that the “revolution’’ If any Democrats are disposed to set down all this as “an invention of the enemy,” we have only to refer them to the Democratic organs, little and big, the Democratic delegates, and the Democratic orators, who expounded Democracy to the faithful after the row at Charleston. Voting on the Railroad.—The newspapers everywhere are noting the results of Presidential elections on the cars, and our folks have been try ing their strength on the W'estern Railroad. Among the pa.ssengers who started from Jones- borough on Monday were 10 voters, repre.senting -Moore, Montgomery, Chatham, Harnett, and Cumberland. A poll resulted; for Bell X; for Breckinridge 4; for Douglas 4. Montgomery Superior Court.—Two or three friends in Montgomery who have favored us with accounts of the recent murder trials in Montgomery have probably.seen that their letters were anticipated. Two accounts of the trial were publi.shed in the Observer, before their letters came to hand. The University Magazine.—We have re ceived the September number, well printed, well filled with interesting reading matter, and con taining a portrait of General Lane. Judge Douglas in Indiana.—The Republi can papers in Indiana say that Judge Douglas's friends there declare that Indiana is to be car ried for him, and Lincoln beaten, if it costs two millions of dollars. We don’t know, of course, whether the Republicans tell the truth, but if they do Douglas has the State. That amount of money will stop the mouths of a great many “ftr«tdom Bhrickers.” KDITORIAL CORRESPONDENCE. New York, Sept. 12, 1860. I was disappointed to-day in the hope to hear Mr. Douglas speak, though I rode several milea to “Jones’s Wood,” and spent two hours in the effort. He was appointed to speak at 2 o’clock, but what with organizing the meeting and getting 20,000 people into some degree of quiet, it was near 3 before the speaking commenced, and then, instead of Judge Douglas, they put up first Hon. Herschel \ Johnson, the candidate for Vice President. I listened to him for ten or fifteen minutes, when an engagement obliged me to leave. In the mean time, I heard nothing from him of special interest. He is a large man, of no parti cular impressiveness of appearance, manner or mat ter. To-night, there was a torch-light procession to Judge Douglas’s quarters at the Fifth Avenue House, and serenade, which I did not see or hear, but a Fayetteville friend tells me we could get up as large and spirited an affair in our little town —all save the music. I understand that both Douglas and Johnson spoke briefly. The meeting at Jones’s Wood was certainly a groat gathering, and manifested a good deal of enthusiasm, but it was evident that curiosity had carried there thousands who, like myself, are op posed to Douglas, but had a desire to hear him. Though 1 left probably 20,000 people on the ground, there were still other thousands throng ing to the spot. It is a little odd that amon such a countless mas:* I should find a Fayette ville and a Wilmington friend—both Whigs, by the way. One ot the objects of interest which I unex pectedly saw at Jones’s Wood, was the prepara tion for one of those fool-hardy, exhibitions of Monsieur Blondin, fully C({ual, I think, to his crossing the river below Niajtara Falls. The pre parations consist of an immense mast, composed of three parts, reaching probably 200 feet high, from the top of which his rop« extended probably 300 or 400 yards. It ranged from about 200 to about 50 feet above the earth, the inclination be ing very gradual. To-morrow aflernoon lilondin is to walk this rope from end to end. Almost as perilous a feat wa.s in process whilst 1 was there, viz: a man (i^aid to be Blondin himself,) was bu.sy up at that gitldy height fastening the guys which are to steady the main ripe. He was in a basket, apparently three feet long and deep by two feet wide, and working away at hi^ cords with the most perfect unconcern, apparently, though the wind was blowing a gale. The basket was se cured to the main rope by cords and a wooden frame, so arranged that he could propel himself forward at will. All about the grounds and the streets leading to them, were shanties with refreshments, eating and drinkinu; anI various game.s of chance were publicly exhibited. 1 did not see any ot the bar becue, but learned that the crowd had made short work of tbou-niinds of pounds of meat and bread, before the speaking beiran, many using the loaves of bread and bi.scuit to pelt each other with. New York, Sept. 14, IS*50 Riding down town to-day with a New York merchant, he pointed out to me two stores now in process of erection on Broadway, belonging to Wm. B. Astor, which are to be finished by Feb ruary next, and are already rented for six years from that time at fifty thousand dollars a year for the two! >n« is 4;') feet front, and on a corner the other JJU feet front. My informant would be very glad to get the smaller o.ne at S20.UU0 a year, but the person who rented both demands 822,0U0. Are not these enormous rents? Yet the amaiing prosperity of the merchants of this city shows that they are fully justified. There is a feeling of hesitation in the mind of my in formant, who is largely engaged in the Southern trade, about taking a lease for six years, amounting to 8120,00(1, in times like the present, when he and many others consider the (7nion in jeopardy none knowing what a day may bring forth. Should disunion result from the coming election, or from that four years hence, the present prosperity of the country would be blighted, from one extremi ty to the other, but no part of it would feel the evil more deeply than this great and proud city I see that the wealth of Wni. B. Astor is esti mated at forty millions of dollars, and his annual income at two and a quarter millions! In going to the (\'ntral Park, this afternoon, I rode past his dwelling in the upper part of Fifth Avenue. It is plain compared with many on that fashion able street, which is said to be the most beauti fully improved street in the world, and 1 can well believe that it is. The Central Park is greatly improved since I saw it last year; but I think there is fully ten years’ work for the two thou.sand men employed there, before the plan is perfected. The scene was an animated and gay one. Many thousand people of both sexes and all ages and conditions were there on foot, and many hundreds of car- riage.« and horsemen and horsewomen. Dods- worth’s full Band was discoursing most delicious music, as on every Saturday afternoon, for which they are paid by the city. I learn that the thou sands I saw there to-day were but a tithe of the thou.sands who congregate there on every fair Sunday. If anybody wants to see the tendency of things up town here, it is only necessary to start down town at 0 o’clock in the afternoon, as I did yester day. Every car and omnibus was full inside and out, even carts being covered with the goers up. But there was a ma.ss of humanity on the side walks, numbering countle.ss thousands. That is the hour when all labor is stopped, and the myriads who live up town start for the homes which they left early in the morning. The city has been star-gazing for the past three days. I have had occasion to move about a good deal, and have seen thousands thus engaged. The atmosphere is so clear, and Venus so brilliant, that she has been for hours near mid-day of those three day’s visible to the naked eye. This is probably the last letter T shall write from this city this year, as I expect to start South on Monday. I leave it with some regret, for I know many most agreeable people here But I love home and the South more, and go back to them feeling that they are my proper element, i dearer for ten months of the year than all other •pot*. Railroad Connections.—Readers of the Observer may recollect a paragraph a lew weeks ago as to the proposed construction of a Road from the East Tennessee and Virginia Koad 4o Paint Rock. The last Asheville Spectator gives the following statement of its prospects of speedy completion not only to Paint Rock but to Ashe ville, where it will connect with our own Western Extension now under contract nearly to that place. The Spectator says:— “ Cincitniuti, Cuinberland Gtp and Charleston Itailroad.—The Board of Directors met in Mor ristown on the ()th inst., and let the entire road from that place to the Paint Rnck, to the Messrs. Patton of Asheville, who are bound to have it completed by the 1st of January, lWt»3. From the character of the contractors for energy, and their ability in every respect, it may confidently be relied on, that the work will be finished by the time designated. “We understand, from a different source, that the road will at once be located from this place down the French liroad to the connecting point, and that all possible steps will be taken to expedite the building of the entire line. (,'ontracts will soon be let from Paitit Rock to Marshall, we understand. “We now think tho day is not far distant wl>«n Western North C’arolina will be blessed with Railroads. It is an event looked to with absorbing interest, and no efi'orts, we trust, will be spared to hasten its coming. With the French Broad Road, and the Western Extension to Ducktown, our interests will be enhanced be yond calculation, and the Western portion rendered the garden spot of the .State, and we are tempted to say of the universe. Let these enterprises therefore, be vigorously pushed forward to com pletion.” The Asheville News states more particularly that Mt'Krs. J. W. and J. E. Patton and N. W. Woodfin are the contractors. The contract amounts to 80xO,(K*0. They will begin work by 1st of January next, and are bound to complete it by 1st January lh(>3. They have sub let a large portion of it, including the masonry and bridges. The Company have the entire fund necessary to cotn- plete the work secured, and have already advanc ed §100,000 on the contract. The Jonesboro’ (Tenn.) Express gives the fol. lowing statement of the progress of another pro posed North Carolina connection with tlie Ten nessee Roads:— Atlantic, Ttinn>'s$ee and fJhio Rail road.—We are informed by (ten. A. E. Jackson, President of this (’ompany, that twenty two miles of this Road (from Charlotte to David.son (College; are almost ready for the iron rails. The Companv have 1700 tons of iron purchased for that portion of the road, and it is expected to commence the track laying in the month of )ctober, with the confident hope of having that division of the road completed early in the next year—by the 1st of July at farthest. The road will soon be located to Taylorsville, N. C., which is within one hun dred miles of Jonesborough, Tenn. It is the purpose of the company to push the road through to its destination in this State, as ftist as the mean.s can be obtained for its construction.” Cumberland Fair.—It gives us pleasure to annoutice that Col. Walter F. Leak, of Richmond county, will deliver the Annual Address before the .'Society in November. (}ol. Leak is a practi cal farmer and our agricultural friends may expect an instructive and able address. The Fair will be held on the 7th, ^th and yth days of November.

The boats of the Icarus conveyed a party up the river, who captured Walker and all his command. They were trken to Truxillo and delivered over to the Hondurian authorities, who had determined to shoot Walker and one of his C’olonels. Wal ker's men were in a very destitute condition, and .S0U13 of them had been sent home, after promising never again to engage in any expedition against Central America. P. Brandy 1 25 a 1 80 N. C.
