Other con quests were subsequently added to this august trophy, and among others that of the Italian dancer Cernto. But if the Marquis was so successful with tbe royalitioa of politics and the dance, he had not been lucky enough to gain the good will of the people of Madrid, who besciged his hotel, at the same time hs those of Messrs. Saalmance, nnd 1 Quinto. On hearing ' he shouts and the blows j which were showered upon his gate, Mr. Soule inougni w.ai uic people nau come 10 acnr.ano tne Journalist Mora, who with Mr. Sartorius, the prin- j eipal editor of the Herald, had sought an asylum with the American Minister, of whom he had been j one of the most violent adversaries. This asylum had been granted him, by Mrs. Soule, a noble woman, who was happy to find an opportunity of; aengng oy iiiiuo as, nvi own wiiwy uu iuue of her husband. Tne latter had then caused his (rates to be closed nd put in a state of defence. But a d' I'jratc of the insurgents explained to him, hat in hand, that they had no idea of violating his J domicile, which was sacred to them, both lor his private and public character. They desired only to possess themselves of the arms of the Marquis of Bedmar, and in order to show the difference of i heir sentiments, they had respected the Amartcan eagle, placed above the crown of the Marquia f which had been defaced. Thus advised of the ; object of his visiters, Mr. Soule ordered the gates to be opened to them, saying at the sme time, that "tyranny always being: provided with arms to oppress the people, it was just that the latter, in its lutn, should rind arms lor its defence among .. . Av pnnlaiided. wj'l'o.lff. 1 licoi- nuiun ncit iwmw; 71 and the collections ol the Marauis of Bedmar were j carried off in a moment by the people who reli giously respected the upper stories. It was no fault, moreover, of Mr. Soule, if Quen Isabella was not enlightened m season upon the tru- aim of the movement, at the head of which OT)..nnel had t.laced himself. After the return of the Court to Madrid, and the first engagement of - r Vicalvnro, represented by the Ministerial journals ns n victory, the Minister of Prussia convoked the j diplomatic corps, and proposed to go and eompli inent the Queen. "If it is on account ol her re turn, I give my consent," said Mr. Soule, in this meeting; "If it is for resistance to the wishes ol tiie people, I will not unite in your compliments." On arriving at the Palace, the Minis'erof Prtis sin mnde nn emphntic speech for the, "consolida tion of thrones," and against assassins. Mr. Soule, on the contrary, said (hat it was not only necessary to censure, but to ascertain if the popular move nriiit li.-til nijt b n'liiinn'p p:inrs. u l'ifh there Was no deposition to ncknowl-dge nor understand. ; On -he 25th of July, niter the Irinmph of the in- I currrctinn. th- diplomatic corps made a s cornl visit tt the Queen, but on ties occasion, one rt j condolence.

CHARLOTTE : FRIDAY MORNING, Sept. I, 1854. ry The Whin's issue of this week has a verv sensible article on the subject of the parties of the North, which, bating a few particulars, we heart ily concur in. That the-VVhig party of the North has become thoroughly Aboliiionized, a reference to its past history and present action fully proves. We have all along pointed it out as a fact but com ing from a Democratic souice full credence was not given to our figures or arguments. The first grand movement in that direction vjs its opposition to the anntxation of Texas, and the acquisition ol Territory during the Mexican war; i hen when the Compromise Measures of 1650 be. j came a law ; only three Northern Whigs were found to vole for the Fugitive Slave Law ; and in ,,ie National Convention of 1852. the anti slavery i element predominated and succeeded in forcing upon the country a candidate for the Presidency, uncommitted in favor of its execution, and whose ! antecedents convicted him of being a Free. poller, j When the Nebraska and Kansas bill was pending its most bil! r assailants were Northern Whigs ! men whom we had been heretofore told were ua lioial nod conservative and its final passage was rtVt !pH in smtf of thrir most si reilllO US on nosi tii n. jn lht.jr Conventions and demonstrations in New yorJ. id A,.issachuseltd) ,hey have glJOe as far ........ , .u si-ion to the Nebraska Bill that he was following f,r Bir.m nod, nod that hn would not havo a d irj lpia or any other Southern 6 Stule. The recent election in Missouri resulted in the return of every friend of the Bill, vhile everyone who opposed il, not excepting Jfr. Benton, was defeated. We are g'ad that the Editor has at last waked up to his true position, and if he is truly pen itent nnd desires an entrance into the bosom ol the democratic church fTor that is the only way by which a union of parliets can be effected) he must break up his old party organization and renounce his former heresies. He will be taken upon trial, and if he proves permanently cured and truly converted he wiW be admitted to the rights and privileges of a member of the orthodox faith. This is, in our opinion, the only way by which a union of parties can be brought about. Will he come in ? We are opposed in toto to sectiocal iting the great National Democratic party. We c.iunot do so w ithout turning our backs upon thotte true Democratic men at the North who have so nobly stood by ua in every conflict; it wouIJ be to sacrifice them, w hich would be ungrateful, un generous and the basest perfidy. No, to t fleet this union the Whig party must come over to us, and iu order 10 do so, it must abandon its present organization, give up its "time-honored name and principles," not merely M suspend their "-operations," or the union will do more harm than good. The Whig must come all the way over, no Com promise, no half way meeting, just come, ae lots of them have been doing lately, and they will be received ; we are not done taking in yet. We want no new issues, the Constitution is already our chart and guide, nnd our principles are those which have saved the Union and the South in every emergency, and have carried our country to the apex of prosperity at home and re spect and admiration abroad. We are the national party, embracing as cardinal doctrines the funda mental principles of State sovereignly, of equality in the confederacy and of non-intervention upon the part uf Congress in 'he affairs of the States. We have ever contended that the people had the right in the formation of their organic law, to ad mit or prohibit the introduction of slavery into the territory, and that Congress had no right to legislate upon the suhj. ct w hatever that the Mis- -21,1-1 PnmnnimiOQ r m a iiniiAnAhliif ivnul n t-i , I i n , i- I and ought to be repealed that the Constitution provided for the rendition of fugitive slaves, and the repeal of the law ol 1850 to enforce that po sition would be dangerous to the integrity of the Union, and ought to be resisted by all friends of order and good government. Where, then, is the necessity for the organization of a new party ? Will it better protect our rights in the confederacy than the present Democratic party? Shall we abandon our old and tried friends to meet our en emies on a common ground ? We think not. tW We are gratified to observe a returning sense of justice upon the part of the officers of the Central Rail Road towards our town. The crossings which have been so long neglected in violution of their stipulations are about to be fix-d.

They have commenced -he woik and we hope they will go through with it to the satisfadion of those most interested. - . . . , New Cotton. a 1 , r, ,. , ... the first bag of new Cotton was brought to " & market WedncsJoy last, from the plantation ol vV Smith, Esq., of Steele Creek, nnd bought by Elms & Spralt, at 10c qualiiy fair.

Matthews, Esq., a lad of 12 years of age, had his thigh broken. While going into the field with a colored boy, they commenced racing, William's hor9e ran against a tree and caused the accident. Drs. Porter and Parks were speedily in attendance who set and bandaged the broken bone, nnd he is now doing well. Tornado at Louisville. A terrific hurricane occurred at Louisville, Ky., jn Sunday, the 27th ult. The 4th Presbyterian Church was blown down during service and 25 persons killed and many wounded. Throughout the city houses were unroofed, and great damage done. The destruction of property is estimated at $100,000. Your Paper did not Come, Sir. We recommend a careful perusal of ihe follow ing plain statement, both to postmasters and to subscribers, from a paper called "The Advance," published at Hernando, Mississippi: The uncertain arrival, or uncertain delivery of papers at country post-offices is often the ground of complaint against publishers and editors. Many of the offices are poorly supplied with conveniences for taking care of papers, no matter with what certainty they arrive. The papers are jumbled into a few little pigeon holes, or piled upon a desk, box, or barrel, to await the call of subscribers, in the midst of boo:s, hats, bridles, horse-collars, and other coarse wares, which may be called for dur ing the day by customers. Country postmasters, in most cases, being engaged in some mercantile business, many newspapers find their way into some obscure corner, where they are hid for a time from human eyes, as completely as if buried in a mountain cave. In comes the man for his paper, and, as it cannot be found, of course it did not come. The indignant subscriber consequently abuses the rascally editor, and perhaps calls for pen, ink and paper, to write a letter of complaint about not sending his paper punctually, when, if the said paper were endowed with speech, it would cry out, Here I am, squeezed to death behind this box or under this barrel." We have seen just such things at many country post-offices, else where, as well as in this country. These remarks have no reference to any particular office, but are meant for all where they will apply. (fcT" We learn from a card of tha Rev. W. R. Hemphill, that the endowment of Erskine College is secured on the Scholarship plan adopted by the Board on the 8th of April, 1653, and that the scheme will go into operation on the 1st of No vember next, at which time subscriptions will be due and bear interest. Certificates of Scholar ship will be ready for distribution on the 1st of of November. The books will be closed and sales of Scholarships discontinued on the 1st of April, ensuing. OCT" We learn from the Asheville News that a a valuable Alum Spring has been discovered in McDowell County, N. C, upon the lands lately entered by Dr. McRee, of Morganton. Improve ments will be erected, and arrangements made to accommodate visitors by the next season. Later from ITIcxico and Texas. New Orleans, Aug. 28.

President Pierce. The Washington correspondent of the New York Journal of Commerce says of President Pierce : His civil achievements since his accession to the Presidency have been more important and more glorious, and more conductive to the welfare of Ihe country, than would be a hundred victories by land and sea. The treaties which he has al ready made with foreign powers are peaceful triumphs, greatly augmenting the strength, and prosperity, and glory of the country." Hon. J. C. Dobbin, Secretary of the Navy, is on a short visit to his home in Fayetteville. The citizens of Fayetteville have tendered him a public dinner, which he declines. His health is good. The Srxr Hoc Chop. The Louisville Couri er says the excessive drought which prevuils throughout the greater portion of Kentucky will j exert much inflnence upon the hog market, as i corn will be both scarce and high, aud it is fair lo presume that the hog will not come to the hooks as large and as fat as heretofore. In fact we learn, ! that many persons in the interior have turned j 1 heir hogs out, and abandoned ail attempts to fat- ' ten them fur slaughter. For the Democrat. Lenoir, N. C, August 22, 1854. This quiet little village is the seat of justice for Caldwell County. Its population, all ages, sexes, colors and conditions included, may amount to three hundred or more persons. It is yet com paratively in its infancy, the County having been erected only in 1840, and is, therefore, like most of our recent shire towns, particularly those along the Piedmont region, of very limited extent. It is, however, what may be very properly called a nice place. It looks clean and fresh the painted dwellings, mostly white, contrast prettily with the green foliage of the numerous trees nnd smiling lawns and gardens. An air of niceness evidently pervades it. The houses, generally constructed with more than ordinary attention lo convenience and taste, exhibit an air of neatness and comfort. The principal Hotel is one of the most tidy and comfortable in the State. The pretty little Epis. copal Church, holding up constantly to viaw (he emblem of our salvation, looks calmly down from its elevated position upon the adjoining tenements, as if keeping a guardian watch over their inmates, and by pointing with its modest spire ever up to Heaven seems to remind them that this is not their home, but that there is a rest laid up for those, who shall finish their course in Faith and Charity, when the trials and turmoil of life are at an end. Il is neat, well proportioned, and for its cost, only $1250, one of the most graceful and best arranged Churches in the Diocese. During a residence of more than eight years in this vicinity, the inquiry was often suggested to my mind, why is it, thai so few of those, who frqm the low miasmatic regions of this State, and South Carolina, are driven every summer to seek a more healthful nnd agreeable atmosphere, find their way to this section of the country. They flock to Henderson and Buncombe in multitudes. Frjom Greenville, S. C, to the Warm Springs, near ihe Tennessee line, every season during the months of June, July, August and September, every house of public entertainment is crowded. At present, the Rail Road from " Columbia to Greenville having been completed during the past year, this is particularly the case. Aceommoda tions it is said can scarcely be obtained on any terms. Why is it that under such circumstances so few come here 7 The main reason of this in all probability is the want of proper information respecting the coun try. It is not known, for instance, that we have here an atmosphere very little if at all inferior in point of purity and health fulness to any that can be found along the line of the French Broad and Buncombe Turnpike from South Carolina to Ten nessee, which is the principal region of summer resort for those, who travel west for health or pleasure. The elevation may be less, but the air, as far as I can judge, and I have had ample expe rience of both regions, is equally fresh and invi gorating. During a residence of eight years not two miles distant, and in a family rarely compri sing less than twenty-five persons, not one single case of sickness occurred, which could with any fair show ol reason attributed to the ciiuiaie ; and 1 can truly say lhat my own health never was better, if as good, in any other situation. Since my arrival here, but a few days since, I find the lassitude brought on by a more southern climate departing, my natural disposition to activity re turned, my digestive organs recovering their tone, and my appetite, which had almost entirely failed under the oppressive heat of the South, restored. The face of the country is probably as little known as the climate. Few parts of North Car olina we venture to say present a more inviting aspect to persons wishing lo travel for the enjoy, merit of fine scenrry or to select for themselves a location for a summer residence, than Caldwell, and some of the adjoining Western and North western counties. One can scarcely go a half mile from Lenoir, for instance, in any direction, without observing some naturally beautiful situ ation for a residence the grounds gradually sloping off in every direction and presenting capa bilities of improveme nt sufficient for the most ample means. The country between Flat Rock and Asheville is not to be compared to the country around Lenoir in this respect. What is remark able, these situations almost invariably embrace the finest views of mountain scenery, and that, for the most part just at that distance, which al ways " lends enchantment to the view." Some of these prospects are equal to any thing of the kind to be found in Buncombe or Henderson Counties. Several cf the highest Mountains and most remarkable peaks in the U. S. are fully in view, the Black Mountain, the Roan, the Grand father, the Hawksbill and the Table Rock near Morganton, presenting a boldness of outline and grandeur of elevation peculiar to themselves. I was at Flat Rock, so justly celebrated for its scenery, for a period of eight years. During that time I do not recollect one brilliant sunset, owing doubtless to the peculiar location of my own, and most of the residences of the settlers in that neighborhood. At Belvoir, my late resi dence in this County, we were scarcely an eve ning without one. The sun went down in sum. mer between ihe Black and Grandfather Moun tains over the tops of a multitude of minor eleva tions varying in height, and presenting a scene irregular as the surface of a stormy sea. Among these on a showery evening the bodies of floating mist would often appear like so many beantiful sheets of water scattered about at distances fitted to produce the happiest scenic effect in combina tion with the surrounding land. Over all, the clouds tinged by the rays of th setting sun would sometimes assume shapes so fantastic and colors so gorgeous that language quite fails to convey an idea of the grandeur, beauty and bril liancy of the scene. I have seen representations of sunsets about the Bay of Naples, but never could conceive of the clouds assuming tints so deep, bright and variou?, and therefore, always considered those representations exaggerated and unnatural till I Satv them fully equalled here The glorious sunsets became quite proverbial not only in my own family but wit!, our fri,.nd8 ;0 the neighborhood.
