Early in the morning, a respectable and el- derly gentleman, who passed under the cog- somen of Coon Festerinan, arrived in town with a covered wagon in which were depo ; sited two boxes of rather suspicious appear I ance. After summoning several of the i town citizens to attend the display of his i merchandize, Coon drove down opposite the j jail, stopped his horses, rolled out his box j es, and took out of one a live negro man, who had absconded from Mr. Horah, of this place, some weeks before. Out of the oth er he took a negro woman, the property of j Gen. Means, of Cabarrus, also a runaway. I In each box was deposited the statF of j life bread, meat and water. Then came the explanation. On the night previous, while patrolling, Festerman came across ; these two negroes. They were engaged in conversation, when discovered, relative to I their flight to a free State. The negro man j was well armed and well provided with the i cash. Festerinan came upon them and proposed to aid them in their escape. To this, both readily assented, and plans were immediately devised for the purpose of car rying the agreement into execution. They both were to be carefully boxed in the first place, then be put into the wagon and con veyed to Salisbury in time to meet the train going North; where, they were to be put on the cars and be transported with speed into a land of freedom. True to his promise, j Festerman reached town before the train j but instead of going to the depot, he, uufor- i tunately for those who were 'in a box' al- ! ready, concluded that he would leave his I merchandise in the safe keeping of the Sheriff of Rowan. Salisbury Herald. (j FATAL ACCIDENT. "Sam. Brandon,' a negro man, the pro perty of Col. H. L. Robbards, was caught under the wheels of the Eastern Train, Sun day evening, at the depot in this place, and so badly injured as to cause his death in some 10 or 1:2 hours after the accident. 'Sam" was a valuable bov, and extensively known as a waiter tit the Rowan House. . Report says be was "in liquor" and attempt- j ed to leap across the track when the train ; was within five or six feet of him. He was tripped up by the "cow-catcher." One leg was crushed in a most shocking manner, ,.nd the foot of the other leg cut partly off. We hare heard it charged that the train was running too fast. The accident was witnessed by hundreds of persons then and there present. By-the-way, there are al ways such crowds tit the depot on Sundays, the wonder is that accidents have not fre quently occurred. Salisbury J Va tch man. o Tin: Last Link Broken. We regret to have to state, that the last link tbat bound the present with the past history of this coun ty, is broken. Mrs. Susan Alexander, of revolutionary memory, departed this life on Thursday last, aired about 94 years. She was, wc believe, the only remaining relict of i the "times that tried men's souls," and she was always ready to converse on those stir ring times; and at the close of life she ex hibited that the "ruling passion" was strong in death, for her physician informed us that she would frequently rouse up during her last illness and commence relating some exciting scene of those times. Knowing j that we all have to die, she had prepared for the awful occasion and met her last enemy i a. l with perfect composure. Requicscat in j pace. Charlotte ( X. C.J Whig. -" o Significant Fact. We deem it worthy of especial notice the fact that William El lison, a colored man, and a resident of Stateburg, in this district, contributed, the j other day, the sum of one hundred dollars to ' j the funds of the Kansas association. Elli- I son, once a slave, but now a slaveholder, ! ! has, entirely by his own industry, attained I I j his present state of prosperity, and, we i might say, wealth, he being tlue possessor i of a large and productive cotton plantation. J arc pleased to see such a manifestation, j j from such an one, for such a cause. The ! j example too. even from such a source, is I worthy the imitation of those whose supe- I 1 rior means and intellect render them not ony more aDe to jive, but to discern more i . . dearly the necessity ot giving liberally to this cause.

The question sometimes arises, whether, in case of a collision between England and the United States, (which we are gratified to sec is not likely to occur,) America " could stand her hand" with her old moth er, with whom she has twice already had a quarrel which resulted in blows. The Lon don Post states, in a boastful strain, thai in the event of a war between the two coun tries, "the English Government could throw fifty or even a hundred thousand men into Canada." and one would suppose, who credited the boast of this announcement, that "the British Navy could lay every town and city on our coast under contribution in forty-eight hours; while sweeping from the ocean our little navy, would be but the work of a day !" Let us see how the matter stands on our side of the line what our means of defence against this colossus, who could span the earth with his huge legs. The number of fighting men in this nation, or rather the number who would fight in a just cause, and for the honor and freedom of their coun try, between the ages of twenty and forty five, all of whom are more or less accustom ed to the use of war-like implements, and know something of military tactics, may be seen by the following table, which we copy from the Hallowell Gazette, and which, the editor says, has been prepared with great care by those familiar with accurate sta tistics : FIGHTING MEN IN THE COUNTKY.

Such a force could not only be j raised, but it could be provisioned for any J length of time, so rreat are the resources of i this country. How idle then for the British press to cajole their people with the idea that the subjugation of America would be but a kind of holliday work for their arms! We do not mean to speak disparagingly of European soldiers, when we say that an American army with military experience would surpass any that Europe could pro duce. They would carry into the conflict all the courage and enthusiasm of the crusades. antl a hardihood and power of endurance peculiar to Americans, together with a prac tical sagacity and sound sense wtich would soon m"ike a soldier fit for a General. Our advice, then, to the noisy boasters of the British press, would be a cultivation of a spirit of conciliation rather than hatred and strife; and to our own people, to cultivate the arts ot peace, so lovely andcong enial to ! our institutions ; but while so doing, never to los ot our means ot detence. that thtit we may be always ready to resist aggres sion from any quarter, and thus perpetuate the admiration of our Republican institu tions, felt and expressed all over the civil ized world.

DONELSON ON FILLMORE. In the person of Donelson we have a wit ness against Millard Fillmore, that Know Nothingism dare not discredit ; he is now their own witness. Hear what he says about Fillmore's abolitionism. In October 1851, Mr. Fillmore was the President at Washington. Major Donelson was there us the editor of the VP ushington Union. Understanding the subject us he did, he thus speaks of Millard Fillmore: " There has been an idea that Mr. Fill more was strong before the people of the South. This idea made him, for u time, the favorite candidate for nomination there. But the idea is fast fading away. In fact, Mr. Fillmore's strength at the South never had any root in the public mind. HE was A BITTER PILL A VERY BITTER BILL TO tiie south IN 1843; and they took him on ly for the sake of General Taylor; and since then he has done literally nothing specially to commend himself to southern favor. It is true, he signed the fugitive law; but it would have been stark madness ut ter lunacy in him, or in any other President to have refused that signature. It was an act of the most indisputable and imperative necessity and nothing more. And with the single exception of that act, his adminis tration has been one long, sad, tedious fai lure and blunder. Who believes that, with the proper spirit, capacity and effort in the White House, we should have had this dis graceful muster roll of triumphant insulting and yet unpunished negro and abolition mobs, insurrections and murders 1 Who believes, that with the right kind of an Ex ecutive, our government would now have to stand in its present attitude of humiliation towards Spain and the European interven ing powers, and at the same time in such miserable self contradiction in its course to wards the revolutionary provinces of Mexi co? The Executive inefficiency in the ex- cution of the fugitive law, and the wretched blunder in the whole Cuban business, from its commencement to its close, in so far as it is yet closed, have doomed the adminis tration at the South add to this that its tariff policy is utterly at war with southern interests, and the last official explanation of that policy in the columns of the Republic, point directly to the restoration of the ' black tariff" of 1842, is enough to arouse throughout the whole South, the most bitter and wide spread hostility. With these facts in view, it is plain that President Fillmore can have no real strength with the people of the South, even if we leave out of view the great Galphin odium which his admin istracion inherited, or the great Gardiner odium in which it is implicated. And it is in these circumstances that we find Presi dent Fillmore putting the last hand to his ruin at the South, by bringing out anew, and with justification, HIS OLD, AND FOR A TIME DORMANT ABOLITIONISM. Our own explanation, therefore, of the Webster movement in the New York Cou rier and Washington Republic is, that the politicians of the whig party feel that the southern game for President Fillmore is lost, and that some other candidate must be found. It seems to us that the President himself must have come to this conclusion. On any other supposition the revival of the Erie letter is inexplicable. Its re-publica-tlon, with comments in justification of it, was Mr. Fillmore's desperato dash at the support of the North ; or, if not so, it was a blander without parallel in the records of political blunders and folly."' The Chattanooga Advertiser, commenting on the above, very truthfully says : "Mr. Fillmore is no longer President and A. J. Donelson no longer the editor of the Union. In the spring of 1852, both were thrown overboard by their respective par ties, and consigned to the retiracy of pri vate life. It is a trite old adage that misfor tune makes strange bed fellows. It is strik ingly exemplified in the case of Fillmore and Donelson The Abolitionist and the Reception of Ex-President Fill more. The City Council of Philadelphia on Thursday, granted the use of Indepen dence Hall for the reception of Ex-President Fillmore. The Democrats favored the measure whilst the Know-Nothings op- nntA Tr w:ii i,0 refollected that the Know-Nothings refused the hall to Mr. Bu- chanJUU - - pAvvrvTinv pnrn. trnm trip I i n r i - - - - ----- -- rnnnirnr that thf T.llnn-infr nputMTiM - - 1.

Mr. Buchanan was not our choice for the Presidency. We had other preferences. We had, we think, safe predilietions. If these had been gratified, they would have , better realized our standard for this high omce. But let this pass into oblivion with other cherished and ungratified aspirations. We will acquiesce in the nomination as u member of the Democratic States Rights party of which Mr. Buchanan is certainly an ornament. We shall be willing to judge . him on his own merits, and not by his ante cedents or eur personal preferences. We will endeavor to give his measures the ben efit of impartial consideration, and his mo tives that of charitable construction. Al though chosen bv a mode which we never have given and never can lend our sanction that of a political caucus this shall not disturb the rectitude of our judgment. Mr. Buchanan in his career as a legisla tor and administrator has been temperate and cautious. He has had large exper ience. His mind has been sharpened by the conflicts of debate. He has been train ed in diplomacy. He has given proofs of administrative ability. He therefore enters on his functions with every favorable pre diction on the score of moderation, saga city, experience, till the endowment in short that can confer practical statesmanship. But he assumes his lofty position in troub lous times. We are environed with diffi culties and dangers, internal and external. Democratic convulsion impends on one side. Foreign complications appear to menace our peace on the other. The Union seems to hang by the slenderest of threads. Po litical passions threaten an extended border war. Sectional strife is daily heaping fuel on the already too combustible materials. We have unadjusted controversies with two European powers, England and Denmark. These require more than common care and skill for satisfactory settlement. Suppos ing all the pending unresolved questions arranged, the web of public affairs is not less tangled by the question of land appro priations for internal improvements, the tariff, the naturalization laws, so that the Chief Magistracy of the United States seems surrounded with more peril to politi cal reputation and the cause of Republican ism generally than has characterized that position since the establishment of the gov ernment. For not only are skill and deli cacy, wisdom and moderation required in arranging our international controversies, but the rarest combination of firmness with prudence within our domestic sphere. May we not ndd that a comprehensive patriotism which rejects alike sectional preferences and party aims is demanded to arrest the downward fortunes of the Republic. HON. DANIEL S. DICKINSON. At the great Democratic mass ratification meeting held in Philadelphia on Tuesday evening, the following telegraphic dispatch, received from Hon. Daniel S. Dickinson, was read and received with great applause : Bing Hampton, N. Y., June 10, 1856. Invitation too late for me to attend or write. I commend the Cincinnati nomina tion to the country as one fit to be made. The Democracy and the whole conservative element of the country will rejoice in the selection of Mr. Buchanan because he is a statesman and not a political spoilsman ; because he has capacity, learning and ex perience becoming the station ; because his name will guarantee respect and justice from abroad, and insure domestic repose ; because he has wisdom and intecrritv to maintain inviolate the rights of sovereign States, and preserve the constitutional Union. Mr. Breckenridge is a type of his glorious State generous and powerful. In early maturi ty imbibed with the spirit of the times and replete with promise. The success of this ticket is what the country needs what it is destined to enjoy, and what will restore it to its true position at home and abroad over sea and land. DANIEL S. DICKINSON, John A. Marshall, Chai rman rf Executive Committee. FROM THE HON. G. C. BRONSON. New York, June II, 1856. Gentlemen: Nothiuir could be better than the action of the Cincinnati Conven tion, and mv heart will be with the crrea. company which will assemble in the Park' this evening to respond to the nomination of James Buchanan of Pennsylvania, and John C. Breckenridge of Kentucky. We have a platform as broad as the Union, and candidates who are not only above reproach. but eminently qualified for the stations which they are to occupy. And besides, the foundation has been laid for the cordial re-union of all that is sound in the Demo cratic party, and the places of the few who have gone over to the enemy will be much more than filled by good citizens from other quarters, who see nothing but danger to the country in the movements of their former associates, and are resolved to stand fast by the Constitution. Let us hear no more by way of reproach about "Hards" and "Softs," and former dissensions, but buckle on our armour and contend manfully for the principles which lie at the foundation of the national compact. We shall then not only e v.c'ory. Respectfully yours, GREENE C. BUoN'SoX. A. Frojient and J. Y. Sav.u;v-., Jr., From the Albany Journal. But while Mr. Buchanan is indebted to the madness and folly of Pierce. Doig!a , Cushing, dec, for his nomination, ho is deserve, but shall achieve u nob! scarcely less obnoxious to Republicans than W Gen. Pierce or Senator Douglus. It wv. simply his good fortune to be out of this embroilment. Had he been at home, ho would have been what he ever was, as rea dy mid as pliant a Kansas instrument m was Gen. Cass. His whole public lifu m been u scries of sacrifices to Party. He was never true even to Pennsylvania, when Party demanded the abandonment of Iter interests. In Mr. Buchanan the South would get just what Slavery had iu Frank lin Pierce. There is no difference or shade of difference in the Doughface tribe. Slave ry, having used up Franklin Pierce, in passing Fugitive Slave Laws and BepealiiiK Missouri Compromises, requires a new uma for its next aggressions. With Mr. Buch anan, the past is a guaranty for the future. Ho would not disappoint them. They wilt support him for reasons that impose upon freemen the strongest and sternest obliga tions to oppose and defeat him. James Buchanan, with his facile disposi tion, would be nil that Franklin Pierce has been on the subject of slavery. Even were he inclined otherwise, the predominant power of the South in his party, would com pel him to take this character. His sup port will come almost entirely from tho slave holding States, and his whole public existence will depend on submitting impli citly to their demands. In accepting tl e nomination, he accepts the sentiments of tho platform respecting "treason and armed resistance to the law in tho territories," un-1 takes upon himself the work of carrying out the persecution of the free State men, just as the task of persecuting the christians de volved from one Roman emperor upon an other. Franklin Pierce is to bo in office only nine months more ; and, diligent as may be the use made of him during that time, it is hardly probable that will sufl'c t to consummate the business of making Kan sas a Slave State; even if it should, Ne braska would still remain open to the sam. system of operations. So far as regards slavery, the succession under Mr. Buchan an, would bo just as truly a sequel of tho present Presidential term, as would bo a second term of Franklin Pierce. From the New York Courier and Enquirer. Mr. Buchanan's endorsement of the Nebraska-Kansas iniquity has met its reward, and he is now the duly nominated candidate of his party for the highest office in the gift of the people. He stands purged of uil re gret for the destruction of the Missouri Compromise, and is the accepted champion of the slavery propagandist. From the start, he was the favorite of Virginia, the most zealous of the States for slavery-extension, and received its unbroken vote in every balloting. The same Stato which four years ago had the honor of first pre senting Franklin Pierce in the Convention and pressing him through to his final nomi nation, has now the honor of carrying James Buchanan to the same position. Virginia understands her man now quite as well as she did then. Say what we may of the po liticians of that State in other respects, they certainly have the faculty of discrimination, f hey know the men who can and will serve them, and you never hear of their being be trayed.
