From the North Carolina Standard. A Complete Surrender. The Register of Saturdny last, tn imitation of a British practice" of Lord Cornwallis at Yorktown, around its arms and makes a complete surrender jo the victorious hosts of the Democracy. The Editor, unlike other great military commanders, accompanies the net with a profusion of tears ; but we suppose that his confession of defeat, inasmuch is it was so unexpected and so frankly made, must atone in the judgments of the harsh and the beard-hearted for the display which he makes in what might, in vulgar parlance, be called the blubljering line. He says : We are not quite sure that we have formally announced to our readers the grand result of our late very spirited contest. We have however, we believe, stated some circumstances and facts from which a gt-neraf defeat of the Whig p'irty could bo fairly inferred. We now state distinctly and sorrowfully and if not with tears in our ivps, it id brcause we won't cry that we are floored, routed, battered, bruised and whipped but with sundry qualifications. We confess ourselves floored, but not trodden down ; routed but not re duced to captivity ; battered and bruised, but by no means broken ; whipped "in every principal par!," like old Ben Sieven's calf, but not yet sub dued. Being now relieved by this solemn an nouncement of our great disaster, we dismiss the subject in disgust, and never mean to allude to it ngiiin. And we hope, if we have any friends, the) will never mention it in our pretence.' There now! he confesses, at last, that ii is JfHu Me. floored, routed, battered, bruised and whipped." j Wild Fnrrrs. There is the greatest profusion Well, uli we have to say in reply is, he reserved j ol" wild fruit in this territory that we have ever it. We fear, however, th it he is incorrigible seen in any country. Plum?, grapes, gooseher that the genteel dressing he has received will but ; ries, strawberries, raspberries, currants, cherries, stimulate him to new arts of stuhbornes mid disobedience, that Still, it is enjoined upon us to h pe "While the lamp holds out ti burn Tbc vile.l sinner m:y return" and we, therefore, in compliance with the injur.c- lion, wish him a good time of it in repenting of his manifold political transgressions and in learn ing that Democracy is really, after all, something to be thought of, deferred to, and respected. But the Editor ask:, in the way of "quarters," the re-election of Mr. Budget to the Senate ! We borrow our reply t3 this modest request from our Iriend o the Wilmington Journal, who says : Of coursn le lection of two U. S Senators Irom ihis Stale, one for four and Ifce other for six years, will devolve upon the Iv -i-sl .tare which has recent! V b'-eii ebctd. O.ir H big cotempo- c .- ,, . i i , j i ! rriet, finding law seises defeated, have, alter n multitude of wry leers, apparently determined to make some fun out of the Matter, and, as the best joke of the season, grively ask ihe Democrats to elect at least one Wh'g to the Senate, a very com mon thing in uch cases, and for which I be pre cedents in the history of the Whig partv may be j counted in round numbers, and expressed by the following sign 0 ! We of course irf at ibis as a joke, for we cannot suppose anybody could seriously expect a Democratic Legislature, wi h an unqneHtioned majority in both Houses, to elect Mr. Badger or any other Whig to the Senate ; nor can we see any force whatever in the rcns;n laestsDwaly brought forward to such course. Ad mining everything thai is claimed for Mr. Badger, his re-election by Democrats would !o simply a sacrifice of political principle to personal conoid erali tis. Ii would be like Baying that Norfh Carolina, in hr broad border, rontained but oiip mm that out of th fifty lhousnd Democratic ! voters in the State, no man of sense could he found j to send to Wnshinij'nn. The whole talk about I th matter, when fairly nn-.lv.-d. amounts to n reiteration of the old and arrogant assertion of "nil thn sense sad all ibesVeeecy" mad" in times gone by on behall ol the d('iit-d parly." Again : The Kditor, in order to strengthen his request in Mr. Badger behalf, and probably to show, lor lb" first lime, some slight estimate of Southern rights as involved in the slavery ques tion, adds : It is often said that there ought to he h;it one arty in ihe South, and that we ought to have no fellowship with the Whigs on the ntber side of the Potomac. Nothing would so fT.c'u illy accom plish u fusion of parties in this State, ns a liberal and generous, but just course, in the dominant party, towards one who is the pride of the Whigs ! honored for his manly talents and purity in the hearts of all patriotic democrats, and w ho has eon- tribut"d much towards enabling our good old State our mother to hold up her head without blush ing, among her proud sisters. Can we be thus united (used into one ? We think not." It is ollen said' Who said it?

A weekly paper called the " Omaha Arrow " has jnst been started at Omaha City, in Nebraska Territory. Tart nrw ci'y is opposite Council Bluffs, and the paper, for the present, is printed in the office of the Bugle, at the latter place." The editor informs us that his leader is written with an oak stump for his seat, and a Jiat by way of table, while his axe sticks in the trunk of the oak aforesaid. He sleeps at night, he says, in his sanctum, with the star-decked heaven for a ceiling and mother earth for a flooring, and he insists that his said sanctum is vastly more comfortable than those of his brother editors elsewhere. We copy the following items from the Arrow : Plan op Omaha City. The lots are 66 feet front and 132 in length, every lot running back to an alley 20 ieet wide, and, instead of laying off the entire tracts into small lots for speculation, our lots have been laid off around the business part on a liberal scale, including an ample number of commanding and beautiful points for private resi dences and gardens. All ihe streets are 100 feel wide, except the two avenues which lead to Capi tol square, which are 120 feet wide. All the al leys are 20 feet wide. Squares have been reserv ed and set apart for all the leading and principal denominations, and for Masonic and Odd Fellows1 halls.

Unexpected Elevation. The vicissitudes of human life are very strange. In 1830, President Taylor, then a Colonel in the army, wrote a letter loGn. McNeil, who had j ist baen appointed iur- n t ... . . veyor ol Boston, from which we make the lollow- ing extract : " I am fully aware that it is almost impossible for us to pursue any profession parlicul irl) 'but of arms for fifteen or twenty years without form ing strong attachment tu it in various ways, and ol course, must abandon tin m with consid rattle, re- luctdiice. bui there are circumstances a Inch -.liould refonc.le us to doing so, and justify us not only in our eyes, but lit tt of the community. Could I get a civil appointment as respectable, with half the emolument attached to it, as there is to the one you h ive received, and where I could bo located, 6o us to superintend ihe education of my children, 1 would resign forthwith ; for after serving twenty two years and upwards in the army, all of which tune on duty, w ith the exception of a few months, without being stationed two years at anyone post, during that lime ; I begin to think thut I need repose, but us 1 do not possess influence enough to procure n civil appointment of any grade, I consider my doom as fixed. Here is a plain modest officer ol the U. b. Army, who in 1930. expressed a sincere wish that he could retire from his labors upon some office with half the emolument that Gen. McNeil received and declared that he did not possess influence, enough to pr.icure a civil appointment ; and yet this same man bream' world renowned Gener- i ,i I . and President of tbc United States in less than 20 years from that time.

What, if by some combination of mind and sun, the lieu! should continue to augment, till it be comes ten or twenty degrees greater, and lasts for only a few days ? Some portions of the eurth, and the structures up- on it, would burst into a tl ime, and the population j on its face would pcii.h by thousands from exces I sive heat. We perceive no certain natural limits of heal upon the earth's surface to about a hundred I degrees ; vet we take comfort in the conviction of oood Providence over all. who has ndanled man to his habitation, and has hitherto, us lar us records extend, restrained the terrific element of caloric within certain prescribed and tolerable boundaries. i These have never been exceeded.
