The I' ennsylvaniun publishes a letter from William Sergeant, Esq., son of the late Hon. John Sergeant, and like his father, an earnest Whig. Speaking of the municipal contest in Philadelphia, Mr. Sergeant says : The contest now is essentially between the Democratic and Know-Nothing parties. The former, whatever may be its faults, is au open constitutional party the latter with its grips and pass words its oaths and secret meetings, opposed to the constitution, and the whole spirit of our institutions. This being the issue, it has not cost me a a moment" reflection which side to oppose. I intend to devote myself as energetically as possible to the success of the Democracy." DEMOCRATIC VICTORY.

We have omitted to state that the third Annual Report of C. H. Wiley, Esq., the Superintendent of Common Schools in this State, has boea received from the author, and has been for several days lying -en our table, lie will accept our thanks for his courtesy. From tins report we gather many interesting facts and arguments on the subject of Common School education. To the Wilmington Herald we are indebted for a summary of its statistical facts. It appears that during the last year there were in seventy-five counties, 2,995 School Districts, in which there were 1,995 schools established; that the whole number of children between the ages of five and twenty one, in 70 counties, was 189,502; that the whole number attending school, in 73 coun ties, was 1 12 ,932 ; that in 57 counties there were 1,309 teachers licensed, and that the average length of the schools was about four monthg. The Common &ehol system went into operation in 1840. At that time there were 2 Colleges, 141 Acudemies, and Grammar Schools, and 032 Primary Schools : Total, 775. Children attending the above places of education: At College, 158; at Acade mics, 4,348; at other Schools, 14937; total, 19,493. Last year, and it is worthy of special notice, there were 5 Male Colleges; 9 Female Colleges ; about 300 Academies ; and near 3,500 Common Schools There were 1,000 students at College; 9,000 stu dents at Academies, and 130,000 students at Common Schools total, 140,000; which shows that there were 121,000 more children attending school in 1855 than there were in 1840. These facts speak for themselves and tell a good story. Mr. Wiley, we notice, purposes to publish a quarterly magazine, 'devoted to educa tional interests, and to furnish 3,500 copies for gratuitous distribution among the com mittee men and superintendents of common schools in this State. Subscribers to this interesting publication will bo charged 50 cents per annum in advance. Hidden cv Wilson of Raleigh are to le the publishers. The report of Mr. Wiley should be gen erally read by the people, both for the im portant and valuable information and sug gestions it contains; and that they might thereby be the better enabled to appreciate his exertions in behalf of education, a cause in which he has enlisted his best energies. SENATOR JONES, OF TENNESSEE. This gentleman made a speech at the festival at the Slash Cottage, in Virginia, in honor of the birth-day of Henry Clay, on Saturday the 11th instant. He embrac ed the occasion to define his political posi tion thus : 'I am no aspirant for high favors or for political plane or honor. Thank God, I am in a position to expect nothing. I hope for nothing, I look for nothing. I am in common parlance an outsider. I do not belong to the Democratic part, thank God! Laughter. 1 do not belong to the so-called American party, and I thank God for that. Continued Laughter. I belong to the Henry Clay party. I have never veered to the right hand or to the left. I love the memory of Henry Clay ; but I never worshipped any false gods. 1 stand now, Mr. President, where I have ever stood, and where I mean to stand as long us I shall stand at all. I am an old fashioned, old school Henry Clay, Heaven desconded and consecrated Whig. Great Laughter." He wound up his speech by a touching tribute to him u whose last sleep no thun ders can now disturb." Fire in Nashville. Avery destructive Fire occurred on Sunday the 13th instant, in Nashville, Tennessee. The following are the principal sufferers : Douglas &- Co., $175,000; Gardner, Shepherd & Co., $10,000; Strickler. Ellis & Co., $5,000: II. Ewing $3,000; W. R. Elliston $8,000; II. G. Scovell $35,000; Klliston & Evans $10,000. The Court House was also destroyed involving a loss of $30,000. The aggregate loss estimated at 285,000. Insurance $171,000. 11T T. W. Brown and W. W. Harris, in the Wilmington Herald, offer a reward of $100 for the conviction of the person or persons who have recklessly desecrated St. Janu s church yard by robbing the Plates from the coffins deposited in the vault of T. W. Brown, From this it may bo in ferred that there are some hardened sin ners about Wilmington. 1" Messrs. Toliver Davis and E. Thomas have been nominated as candidates for the Commons, by a Convention composed of Delegates frm the counties of Polk and Rutherford. John Mitchel. It is said that this em inent Irish patriot is living in Tennessee, on a small farm of fifty acres, and is in very reduced circumstances. He commenced his career in New York with the most bril liant pecuniary prospects, but sacrificed them all by his championship of the South. Preferring principle to pelf, he is now in obscurity and indigent. If he had chosen to float with the anti-slavery current in N. York, he might now be rolling in wealth. Greely dashing along in his carriage, and Mitchel in penury on his little farm! The generous South ought to show itself at least as grateful to its friends as the selfish abo litionists to their advocates. Richmond Disjiatch. IjThe trial of the prophetess, Khoda Wakeman and her disoiples, Samuel Sly and Thankful S. Hersey, for the Murder of Justus W. Mathews, is now in progress in New Haven, Conn., and excites much inter est. P. S. They have all been acquitted. y In the election at Hartford, Ct., on Monday last, the Democratic candidate for Mayor was elected by 538 majority. - Factory Destroyed. The cotton fac tory at Milton, X. C, was destroyed by fire on Wednesday night hist. The factory was insured for $20,000. The ruins will be sold at auction. m ty Read the admirable Resolutions of tbe Democratic State Convention. LATER FROM EUROPE. Arrival ot tbe steamer Baltic The steamer Baltic arrived at New York April 17, wfth Liverpool dates of the 2d. Peace has been formally proclaimed, amid salvos of artillery at London and Paris - Paris was illuminated, and in England the church bells were pealed. Four weeks will elapse before the full ratifications are ex changed. The treaty was signed at 12 o'clock on Sunday, the Emperor having previousby given his final instructions to Count Walewski. The English Parliament would reassem ble on the 31st. Lord Palmerston, in answer to a question as to the conditions of the treaty, replied that they would not be made public till ratifications were exchanged, ft the same time expressing the opinion that the terms would be satisfactory to England and to Europe. Lord Palmerston said that tbe object? of the war had been fully accomplished. The integrity and independence of the British Empire had been secured, and a treaty honorable to all parties effected. The news of peace was duly honored in England by official demonstrations, but the people re ceived it with no enthusiasm. The state of siege in Parma continued, everything being under the dictation of the Austrian Governor over 800 arrests had been made. On Mondry morning peace was proclaim ed by the Lord Mayor of London, both at the Mansion House and at the Royal Ex change. The ceremony attracted an im mense concourse of persons, who testified their joy by cheering and waving of hats and handkerchiefs. A large number of persons assembled in the park, and as the boom of the guns burst upon the stillness of the Sabbath night, the crowd gave vent to its joy in repeated cheers. The bells of several metropolitan churches rang merry peals until after midnight. Mr. Dallas, our new Minister, has been most flatteringly received in London. He dined with tho Premier a day or two after his arrival, and various other fetes were riven in his honor. It was, it is said, through our Minister's intervention Wltll m Lord Palmerston that Mr. Oakford's sue: gestion to send out steamers in search of the Pacific was acted upon. The latter gentleman's previous application on the subject to the Adinirality had met with a refusal. Mr. Dallas in a letter just received hore says that the subject of tho difference be tween the English Government and the United States will be fully discussed in Parliament. He is led to believe that the discussion will not be devoid of acrimony towards this country, but he is prepared to bear it like a philosopher. He mentions with particularity numerous acts of marked courtesy extended him, including those of members of the Cabinet; and he regards these manifestations as expressive of a peaceable disposition towards this country. The following are said to be the heads of the treaty concluded at Paris between Russia and the Allies: "Russia consents to tho neutralization of the Black Sea. Second Sebastopol is not again to become a war depot. Third Nicolaieff to be re duced to a commercial port. Fourth Russia abandons the protectorate of the principalities. Fifth Russia renounces certain territories in Bessarabia, which leaves the navigation of the Danube free. Sixth A commission to be appointed to trace new frontiers in this district. Seventh Russian soldiers passing the Pruth to be regarded as casus belli by the constructing powers." A letter from Rome, of the 20th March, savs: Qceen Christina, the Duke of Hesse Cassel, and Mr. Fillmore, ex-President of the United States, are now here for the fetes of the Holy Week. The Princess del Drago, daughter of Queen Christina, having received a marriage portion of two millions of francs, there is no want of suitors for one of her sisters who is unmarried. Two Roman Princes, the Duke del Fiano and the Duke del Rioni, are among the suitors, those who are considered to have the best chance of success. Mr. Fillmore had returned to the latter city from Naples. Mr. Cass was to enter tain him at a splendid banquet, to which all the leading Americans in Rome and the high diguitaries of the Church were invited. Mr. Fillmore was to leave on the day after for Florence, Milan and Venice. Marked attention had been shown the ex-President by the Pope and the King of Naples. Mr. Buchanan has passed through Paris on his way to the Hague. His intention was to leave for the United States ou the 8th of this month. One Week Later from Europe. Peace proclaimed in St. Petersburg Sup posed news of the Pacific Advance in Cotton. The steamer Africa arrived last Satur day evening at New York, with Liverpool dates of the 9th inst. The conference was still in session, arranging minor details. The announcement of peace had been made at St. Petersburg, and was favorably receiv ed. A vessel from Newfoundland reports see ing a steamer's lights in the ice off the banks, ond there are hopes that it is the long lost steamer Pacific. Cotton at Liverpool, April 8th, had ad vanced J to 4d. on lower grades, and 11-6 to ljd. on. better qualities. Sales of the week 60,000 bales, of which speculators took 14,000. The quotations are, Middling Orleans, 6d.; Fair Upland, 6$d.; Middling, 5i. Breadstuffs were quiet at unohanged rates. Canal Flour 34s. ; Ohio 35 to 36s. ; Mixed Corn, 30s. The bullion in the Bauk had decreased 75,000 pound sterling. Suicide by a Young Lady. On Tues day last, says the Fayettcville Observer, in the lower end of Moore county, near Grain's Creek Post Office, a young married woman named Elizabeth Jackson, daughter of Burgess Jackson, of a very respectable family, committed suicde by hanging herself. The Exrear op Breadstuffs. The exports of breadstuffs from the United States since September 1, 1855, to Great Britain, up to the close of March, 1856, were 709,650 barrels flour ; 3,629,807 bushels wheat, and 3,477,339 bushels corn. To about the same period in 1855, they were only 133,066 barrels flour; 193,904 bushels wheat, and 4,234,352 bushels corn; while in 1854 they had reached at the same time 1,525,559 barrels flour; 5,167,368 bushels wheat, and 2,322,414 bushels corn. The exports from New York to the continent of Europe up to the 18th March, and from other ports to the latest mail dates reached at that time, were 608,119 barrels flour; 2,141,169 bushels wheat ; 188,180 bushels corn, and 1,254,935 bushels rye. Grain Statistics. According to the Secretary of the Buffalo Board of Trade, that city is tbe greatest grain mart and depot in the world. In 1855, the receipts of grain and flour amounted, in the aggregate, to 25,022,177 bushels. The most important rival of Buffalo in the United States is Chicago, where the receipts of all kinds of grain in 1855 amounted to 16,034,813 bushels. It is stated that no foreign grain port receives more than nine and a half millions bushels annually, and that sixteen millions of bushels of wheat, corn, oats, barley, and rye, changed hands in Buffalo last year. Kansas. A friend residing at Leaven worth, Kansas, writes to us on 2d inst., that he had heard of no disturbance in that Ter ritory, since the adjournment of the Tope ka Convention. The last regiment of Cav alry are still in garrison at that place, in readiness, should it be necessary, to inter pose the alternative of force to uphold the laws, and although there are a variety of I views entertained by the officers of that re giment, when it is necessary to act, there j will be but one voice, and that will be in ! support of the law and the Constitution. t Miraculous Escape. A correspondent of the YorkvHle Enquirer informs that I journal that on Wednesday before last, I while the little son of Rev. J. A. Hill, of j y r-Ji j tally fell into a well, forty feet in depth. man at work on the plantation was sent for, who deceuded the well, and to the astonish ment of all brought out the little fellow, alive, hearty, and without the slightest injury- From the Boston Herald.

DIED, On Sunday, the 6th of April, Mr. Nicholas TAEDINICK, "a respectable citizen of Mecklen burg county, aged about 40 years. In this county, on the 12th of April, Mrs. Ma ry A. Doby, wife of Mr. John Doby, and daughter of Wm. Ross, Esq., in the 31st year of her age. The subject of this brief notice was one who "had been made to possess months of vanity," and to whom wearisome nights had been appoint ed. Her death, though long expected, has left an impress of sorrow and a deep sense of loss, on many hearts; among whom are included nume rous friends and neighbors, whose friendship and esteem were manifested in unwearied attention and kindness, during her protracted sufferings. A tond husband has been left to feel the bitterness of a senaration which, however mournful and sad, has no remedy, save in the consolations of religion. Oh, the trying nature ot tnose losses: Earth, with il its blessings, aud Life with all its resources, cannot replaee or make amends. But the event is rendered still more sorrowful and try ing front the fact that three little ones are by it deprived of a fond, but wise, judicious mother. To lose the training of a pious mother, is one of the severest and most lasting of temporal calami ties. Yes, to have the dark sadness of a mother's death come over the young spirit, is one of the bitterest fruits that sin has caused us to taste. Oh, who wonld not long for a residence in that blest clime of light and life, where there is no more curse forever ! Where all tears are wiped away no more death-bed scenes, nor parting hours ! To that happy laud we have good reason to believe she has departed. Around her early grave linger the hopes of God's children; for down to that grave she went, in the exercise of a trust in Jesus, as her Saviour a trust accompa nied with a peace that increased as the hour of death approached nearer and nearer. And in the resignation which she was enabled, by tbe Grace of God, to exercise, was seen one of the most sig nal triumphs of faith; for faith, perhaps, is never put to so severe a test, as when the mother is call ed to leave her infant, to turn upon it her back, and walk the "valley of the shadow of death." Oh, to leave to the uncertain charities of the world, a little child, whose utter dependence and helplessness render so needful a love, which none but a mother can feel ! This was her trial. But faith triumphed ; and she could leave the precious charge to the orphan's God. "Oh, let me die the death of the righteous, and let my end be like her's." Communicated.

A RARE OPPORTUNITY is now :n. d for tbe farmers and all admireis of gooi horses, in this section of the country, to improve their Stock. RIO-GRANDE is one of the finest end pores! blooded horses in the world, as will be seen b.v reference to tbe English and American records of his pedigree. He is directly descended from tin very purest and best stock in England :ind Ame rica, as the following pedigree will show : RIO-GRANDE is by Billy Harris, out of Lady Morgan. Billy Harris was by Monsieur Tonsou, he by PaeofaC dam by Madam Tonson, by El liot's Top Gallant: grand ditui by UamyV Mi it ley; Top Gallant by Gallatin; Hanvv's Medley by Medley. Lady Morgan, the dam of Rio Grande, was by John liiiTvards; her dam by im ported Expedition ; her grand dam by Hela Dad gers .Sir -Solomon ; great grand d;m Aurora, by imported Honest John ; great great grand dam Zelippa, by iniportec Messenp-r ; g. g. g. grand dam Dido, by imported Hay Richmond ; g. g. g. g. grand dam Siameikin, W imported WHoalr; S S- S- S- (JIS0 t',U11 'aaparti d Cub. A iel, the dam of Hdly Harris, was by Ainerie;in Eclipse; her dam by Financier; grand dim by Empress, bv imported Bum t ; givnt gr:md dam by imported Messenger ; her dam by Snap, out of Jeuny Duter, by Tree Brifem : In 1 8am Quaker Lass. bv imported Juniper, out of the impoiti d Molly Pacolet, by impoiti d Pacofci ; Molly l'a olet's dam by imported !-j ink.out of Queen Mab. American Eclipse was by Duroc ; his dam the famous race mare Miller's Damsel, by imported Messenger, out of the imported Pot-8-oooooooo'i mare; her dam by Jim-Crack. Duroc was bjr imported Diomede, out of Mr. Masby! 'Vxtraor dinary race mure Amanda," by Col. Tav lot's famous Gray Diomede, ou of Imported Medley. It is deemed unnecessary fb xU rid back any farther the pedigree of Rio-Graude, although it can be fully traced iu the English Records back to a verv long period of time. RIO-GRANDE i nnquniritwMfcly avaaaawg the finest horses in the whole .Southern country. His stock are f tine alt remarkably well form ed, durable, and easily managed. Testimonials from the very best raisers of Stts-k in SoatllCmfO Una, fully sustain all and laoff than is here stated concerning Rio-Grande. He is undoubtedly an extra fine horse in every respect. There is not a single drop of coarse or impure blood in his veins. Will stand the present season, as follows: In Hm town of Charlotte, the first three days (Monda . Tuesday, and Wednesday) of each week ; on Thursdays at Morrow's Turn-Out, teu miles In -low Charlotte, on the South-Carolina rail-road ; and on Fridays and Saturdays at the subscriber's residence, in tbe Providence neighborhood, in Mecklenburg county, on terms which it is be lieved will suit every body, viz : Twenty-five dol lars the season, or one hundred dollars for five mares one responsible man becoming paymaster for the Company.
