Democrat. N. C. CHARLOTTE, REASONS FOB VOTING AGAINST THE PENSION BILL. The opposition party have endeavored to make political capital against the democrats of the last Congress who voted against the demagoguing and electioneering Tension Bill introduced at that time fimply for the purpose of making votes for those who supported it. Mr Letcher, of Virginia, in his late Address to the people of his State, ex plains the matter so fully and gives such good reasons for voting against the bill, that we copy that portion in order to let our readers see what an unfair and odious measure it was He sas : 'For my vote ngainst this measure, 1 have been arraigned by my competitor and his allies and organs. I have no apology to make for the vote. I give it after due consideration, believ ed the vote right when given, and I believe it right now. If I caimot present good and sub stantial reasons in support of that vote, then con demn me. I'nder previous laws, provision was made for two classes of pensioners. The first class were invalids embracing those wounded in battle, 01 disabled by disease c intruded in actual service. For this class of cases it was the obvious duty of the government to provide, and their claims have been fully recognized, not only under the general ; law, but by special acts of legislation, where the general Lw failed to cover the case. The second class were the Revolutionary soldiers and officers, and in ease of their death the widows and children of all such. The reason assigned for i the passage of this bill was, that this class had I rendered valuable services to the country, for which they had never been compensated, the continental money in which they had been paid was worthless, and the object of this bill was to give them something for the services so gallantly rendered at an interesting period in our history Even this consideration could not secure for the bill the support of that pure man and eminent statesman and patriot, Nathaniel Macon of North Carolina. The entire amount raid for pensions of all kinds, under existing laws from the organization of the government up to the 80th of June l s58, amounts to the sum of 886,576,087 5t being for Army pensioners 81,49.242 20 and for Navy pensioners $4,879,846 36. The Bill of the last Congress provided for the soldiers of the War of 1812 with Great Britain and Indian wars of that and former periods, and grants pensions for life to the surviving and to the widows of deceased officers, non-commis i ned officers, musicans and privates of the regular army, .State troops, volunteers or militia of any State or territory, and the officers, non-commissioned officers and mariners in the Navy service. The Bill clas sifies the pensioners as follows : 1st. Those who served twelve months or more, were to have a pension of 890 per year. 2nd Those who served less than twelvemonths, but as much as six months, were to have S75 per year. 3rd. Those who served less than six months, but as much as sixty days were to have 85U per year. 4th. Those who were engaged in battle, were to have the highest rate of pension, viz : 896 per year. The Commissioner of Pensions has prepared a fable showing the number ot the mititia of the several States who were engaged in the war of 1812. and this table shows that there were 9,978 officers, 17.712 non-commissioned officers, and 118,508 soldiers, who served les than one month. There were S,;41 officers, and 101,227 soldiers, who served more than one, and less than three months. There were 8,099 officers. 14,070 non commissioned officers, and 102,808 soldiers, who served more than three, and less than six months. There were 4.05s officers, 7,517 non-commissioned officers, and 52,131 soldiers, who served more than six, and le-s than nine months. There were 189 officers. r,:J4 non-commissioned officers, and 2.096 soldiers, who served n.o:e than nine, and less than twelve months; and there were .')42 officers, 866 noo-COB missioned officers, and 5,930 soldiers, who seived mure than twelve months. These make an aggregate force of 31,219 officers, 57,040 non-commissioned officers and 382,766 soldiers of the mititia alone, who are to be provided for under this bill. The bill was to take effect from the 1st of December, ls57, and if it had become a law, an appropriation of $29,760,710 would have been required at the last session of Congress to put this meal machine in ooeration. The a vera ire annual expenditure under this bill would have teen about 18,800,000 for a period of ten years. And the aggregate sum necessary to extinguish the Claims under the bill, would not have been less than 9103,000,000. Was I riirht in voting ag-unst a bill, which imposed such a burden upon the soil and industry of the country ? Is it right, that the laboring men of the nation should be required to contribute fiom their hard earnings, to pay annual pension to men. who are far better provided with this "world's goods,' j than nine out of every ten who would have to eon- tribute the means. Here is General Cass, who under this law would be entitled to a pension of 906 per year, and although he is worth three and j a-half millions, the labor of the country is to be j taxed to pay him this annual sum. Here is also j the President of the United States, and who is worth perhajs a quarter of a million, and yet the ! Opposition would require the ''to Lng millions" to j contribute him a pension also. Every man's ob servation will furnish examples, in his own neigh- j borhood. and I will not, therefore, multiply them. Bwt if a pension shall be paid to the soldiers of j the war of 1812, why shall it not be paid also to I the Soldiers id' the Mexican war. The soldiers of I the Mexican war. and the soldiers of the war of I 1812. stand exactly upon the same ground. Both ; received their pav in good money, including ra How, clothing and everything the law allows; and j each received a land warrant for 100 acres of land. I If a peiiuiou is to be paid, it is for meritorious services; and I imagine the services of the soldiers in the Mexican war were a meritorious as those of j the soldiers of the war of 1812. Why discrimin ate in favor of the one and against the other ? Why are not the soldiers who were engaged in the j Florida, the Creek, the Black Hawk, and the various other wars in which the country has been enira-2ed tor the protection of its citizens and the preservation of its rights, not to be pensioned also? Are thev not just as deserving of a pension Have thev not rendered just as valuable and patriotic services ? If all these are to be pension ed, what Government on the face of the earth could bear the burden that would be imposed upon its citizens and tax-payers ? I propose to look a little further into this ques tion, and present facts from the record thnt will surprise those who have never examined into the operation of the pension system. "The pension system throws a strong light on the tendency of the people of the free States to quarter themselves on the General Government, at the same time that it shows the usual progressive inequality of expenditures between the two sec tions A calculation founded on the data in o0 Senate document, 185S-'59, shows that from 1791 to 1838, inclusive, $36,598,964 had been paid for Revolutionary pensions, of which the North receiv ed ?28 262 597, or 8127 29 for every soldier she had in the war, and the South 87,330,307, being only 849 89 for each of her soldiers. The num ber of soldiers is here estimated according to Knox's report, which confessedly does not show, by a great deal, the full exertion of the South in raising troops. Let us then compare the amount received with the white population of each section in 1790, and we find the free States in 183 had received 814 35 of revolutionary pensions for every soul in their limits in the former year, while the South had received only So 01 for erery white. But the military efforts of the slavehol ding States were fully in proportion to their whole population, for the labor of the slaves on the plantations left a much lar'er proportion of their masters free to take up arms. On this supposition, the Southern soldiers received only 83 74 for the same revolu tionary services which brought the Northern 814 35. This gross inequality remains the same whatever test is tried. For example : The sever- free Mates contributed to the expense of the war, And had received in pensions in 1838, 801,971,170 28,202,597 Balance in their favor, 33,708,573 The six slave States contributed, 52,438,123 And had received in 1838. 7,330,307 Balance in their favor, 45,101,756 Now let us see how it stands with single States: Virginia contributed, 19,085,982 And received in pensions up to 1838, 1,969,534 Massachusetts contributed, 17,964,613 And received in the same time, 4,058,031 South Curolina contributed, 11,523,299 And received in the same time, 431,141 New York contributed, 7,179,983 And received in the same time. 7,850,054 To appreciate this injustice fully, wc must re member that the South not only l aid into the Federal Treasury, all she ever received back in pensions, but also $16,663,633 of the pensions siren to the North. The inequality of the appor tionment of these revolutionary pensions has grown with the Northern majority in Congress. In the first decennial period. 1791, 1800, the free States received annually S5,000 more than the South. In the next pe.iol, this yearly excess was dimin ished to 843,000. but it rose "to 8839,000 in the riiird period. From 1821 tj 1880, it averaged S79:.000; and from 1881 to 1S38, 855,000. In like manner grew the burden upon the South in paying the pensions at the North, hesides those at homer In the first period it was 8417.449; in the second, 8870.000; in the third, 83,000,000; in the fi urth, 87.500,000; and in the last period (of only eight years,) 89,7o0,00O. In 148, '-New England had of revolutionary ii .a nensioiiers 3.140 more than there were in all trie dare .Stabs, and New York two-thirds as main, though she contributed not one-seventh as much Vj the war." The expenses of the payments of all pensioners for "the lour years ending in 187. were eight million ten thousand and fifty-one dollars in the free States, and two million live hundred and eighty-eight thousand one hundred and ninety-one dollars in the stare States, who not only paid their own sharv, but six millions three hundred thou sand dollars to the North. Air England at, me receive 1 three million nine hundred and twenty four thousand nine hundred and eleven dollars, rather more than two dollars a head for every man, teaman and child in her .'mi's. During the four years, she paid in taxes to the Federal Treasury, according to our tables, one dollar and seventy two certs per head, so that she actually received mure in tensions than she jHiid in taxes. These striking and important fac ts show how the Pension system operates to the benefit of the North, and to the prejudice of the South how the North reaps the profits, while the South bears the burdens. DESPERATE FIGHT WITH INDIANS. A letter from Fort Belknap, dated the 22d, says an express has just arrived therefrom Camp Rad i mn.iki, bringing the report that Major Van Horn h id another fight with the Northern Camanehes, on the Fork of the Arkansas river, on the 16th, di:r'nr which forty of the Indans were ki.leJ, and tliirty-six t iken prisoners. Two of the troops we e killed, and several wounded, among the latter were Lieut. Lee and C ipt. Smith. Another kt'rr says that four or five hundred dred Texans have encamped twenty miles below Bn.z s, on the Indian Reserve, wi h the avowed intention of attacking the Reserve Indians. Much excitement prevailed in consequence among the Indians. Dr.rr.on.Bi.K Condition of thk Pike's Peak Emigrants. The regular correspondent of the "Democrat,'" writing from Denver City on the 9th ultimo, recounts the most deplorable condition of affairs on the Plains. Many ofthe emigrants are dvinjr from starvation, while the others are subsist ing on prickly pears and wild onions, found along the road. The stage agent reports picking up a man named Blue, whowas reduced toaskeleton from starvation. On recovering he gave a most lamentable account of his adventures. He started in company with two of his brothers for the mines. One of them died on the road, and the remaining two were so far bordering on a state of starvation, that thrn ate his body. Another died, and he in turn was nearly devoured by the survivor. A man named Gibbs had reached the mines in a starving condition, and expressed the opinion that his party, nine in number, had all pi ri died. Many graves were seen along the route. Much property has been destroyed or abandoned on the roa J. The writer of the letter before referred to says the number of departures from the mines is about equal to the arrivals. About five hundred of the retuminc emigrants reached St. Joseph on Saturday all of whom confirm the previous accounts of the sufferings and privations on the Plains. Jk.nny LlND. It is said that the large fortune which Jenny Lind had acquired is now squander ed, and that she has re-commenced her profes sional career with a view of replenishing her ex- ; hausted finances. As the illustrious Bantam is also financially annihilated, perhaps it might prove of mutual advantage for the two to unite in another American campaign. There is plenty of money in this country, which its owners are eajrer to lavish upon foreign nightingales, and Barnuw, the long-headed and hunury financier, would know how to smite the rock of public credulity, and make the golden tide come out in a cataract. Let Jennv. by all means, try another American cam paign", with Itanium Napoleon of Humbugs as her aiau of business. WESTEEN DEMOCRAT, Foreisrii Intelligence. LATER PROM EUROPE. By late arrivals from Europe we have the fol lowing intelligence of the war. In Liverpool cotton had declined i to penny. Bieadstufts had also slightly declined. The news from the seat of war is unchanged. There had been no battle. A dispatch from Pavia, dated the 19th May, sajs that there is great movement of troops, and a collision was expected to take place on the 19th or 20th May. The rumors from other quarters are that a battle is imminent The Liverpool Post says it has reliable information that the passage of theTXicirio by the French will be a signal for the European alliance against France, and that Austrian troops will march on Paris. The Austrians had removed their head quarters to Carlasco, and had also withdrawn their forces from Vercelli, and the place is now occupied by the Allies. An action is looked for every moment. The Austrian ports have been blockaded by the French squadron, which had taken many merchant men. Napoleon still remained at Alessandria, and was busied with his generals in laying strategetieal plans. Home Piedmontese cavalry had fallen in with a detachment of Austrian Hussars, and made a few prisoners. Austria has recognised the neutrality of the States of the Church. The bridge at .Stella had been threatened by the Austrians, who have workmen assembled there and at other points on the Po. The waters of the I'o had considerably risen. The women and children of the country have been compelled by the Austrians to labor on the defensive works. Several of the Sardinian mayors have been arrested by the Austrians for refusing demands for contributions. Four Austrian merchant vessels have been captured by the French squadron. Rains have heen falling incessantly, which account for the inactivity of the respective forces, and some of the Austrian works have been considerably damaged. Napoleon to thk Army in Italy. Napo leon III has not lost sij.dit of the charms which cluster around the brilliant achievements of his uncle, and the influence which a recollection of them exerts upon the courage of the French sol diers. In taking command of the Army in Italy he issued the following address: Soldiers: I come to place myself at your head to conduct you to the combat. Wc arc about to second the struggles of a people now vindicating its independence and to rescue it from foreign oppression. This is a siered ea-ise which has the sympathies of the civilized world. I need not stimulate your ardor every step will remind you of a victory. In the Via Sacra of ancient Rome inscriptions were chiss-clled upon the marble re minding the people ot their exalted deeds; it is the same to-day. In passing Mordovi, Marango, Lodi, Castialione, Areole raid Rivoli, you will, in the midst of those glorious recollections, be march ing into another Via Sacra. Preserve that strict discipline which is the honor of the army; there forget it not. There are no other enemies than those who fight against you in battle. Remain compact and abandon not your ranks to hasten forward. Beware of too great enthusiasm, which is the only thing I fear. The new armes de n--cision are dangerous only at a distance; they will not prevent the bayonet from being what it has hitherto been, the terrible weapon of the French infantry. Soldiers, let us all do our duty, and put our confidence in God. Our country expects much from you. From one end of Fiance to the other the following words of happy augury re-echo The new army of Italy will be worthy of her elder sister.' Nai oueon. CORRUPTION. Is the President of the United States, the thief and rogue, and rascal that Opposition decency make him out to be? Is he the unmitigated scoundrel, the base villian, the brazen face swindler, the shameless treasury filcher, and the public rob ber, that we find charged in every Know nothing sheet in the land, be it great or small? Mr. Buch anan has always borne an irreproachable moral character. The breath of slander has never taint ed his fame; though even before the people of his country, and serving -.hem in the highest and most r sponsible positions; though lie has mingled in the strifes and turmoil of.' political life, and when party feeling raged bitter, vindictive, and remorse less, he passed through them all unscathed, not even a shade of moral wrong attaching to him. And can it be now, when upon the verge of the grave; after having served his country with credit and with honor until a ripe old age brings him in view of eternity; when he has nothing to look to in this world beyond the esteem, respect, and veneration of his country men; can it be, we say, alter all this, and when occupying the first place in the gift of a great people, he should descend to the tricks and meanness of a common penitentiary con vict, blasting his proud refutation, and sinking into the grave with the contempt and execrations of every honest man? Can any one believe it? and yet such is the character given by zea'ous and vindictive partisans to the Executive of this great country. If these men who perpetrate so gross an outrage uj on the name and fame of James Buchanan, were possessed of one generous feeling or were not d ad to all the finer feelings which honor our nature, a thought upon such conduct would tinge their cheeks with shame; ami we might expect speedy reparation. Not one noble impulse urges them to any such course, and therefore we may expect a repetition ofthe unfounded sland ers. Elizabeth City Pioneer. Thk. Crops The wheat, eorn, and oat crops in Orange, Alamance, Guilford, Davidson and Forsyth are looking well, and 'he promise at pres ent is a good yield. The wheat is all in full head.

A brushing up was essential, and after having finish ed that, I took a stroll around town it being sev eral years since I had passed through this place and found myself at the "Concord Female Col lege," where the young ladies were having a good imaged in the closing exercises oi uie 1 i I - I nT I II O sufficiently r large to contain the crowd, all ot wliom j were eager to witness the concert w hi eh was eiven ! this evening.

I understand the College is in a flourishing condition, numbering about ninety pupils. To-morrow the crowd will disperse, leav ing Statesville to its usual quietude. I must not close my letter without saying some thing about the "Independent Iredell Blues," commanded by Capt. Simonton, and the "Minna Cadets," commanded by Capt, Andrews, who were out this evening in full uniform, and added much I to the enjoyment ofthe occasion. They marched a short distance lnnn town and had a contest oy target firing for the medal awarded them by the Hornets' Nest Riflemen, of Charlotte the 20th bein too disagreeable to contend for it at that place. The prize was won by C. H. Woodward. A prize was also competed for by the Cadets, and won by John Stocton. The Cadets are the stu dents of Capt Andrews, a worthy and accomplished young man who has a flourishing classical school in this place, and adds this military exercise to his school gratuitously. May their years be many, and may they be ever ready to defend their coun try's rights. I bespeak for Capt. Andrews and his gallant band a pleasant journey through life.

We find in the Charleston Mercury of the 25th ult., the following sad account: Cheraw, May 23, ISoO. Mr. Editor: Intelligence has reached this place of a melancholy event, which, from the entire authenticity of my source of information, I deem it my duty to report to you. Mr. Joseph Irby, a young man of wealth and standing in the up-country, committed suicide on Sunday morning, at the residence of his brother, in Marlboro' District, about seven miles from Bcn nettsvillc. The poor unfortunate was laboring under a fit of insanity. Heat first attempted to shoot himself, and with that intent discharged both barrels of a double-barreled gun, but through the interference of a person present, who knocked aside the muzzle as the discharges took place, he escaped with but slight wounds. Foiled in this attempt, he ran into a room, and, seeing himself followed by the same person, violently threatened the life of any who further interfered with him. His preserver deeming him sale for a few minutes, ran for assistance, but before his return the poor maniac had cut his throat with a razor and leaped from the window, and then hid himself under the floor of the house, where hc was found dead. Mr. Irby was a young man, unmarried, of noble sentiments and great generosity of heart, and much beloved by a large circle of relatives and friends. Two Young Giuls Burned to Death.

Mitchell Bector ofthe Protestant Episcopal (Munch id' this citv. the sum of two thousand tire hundred and fif!!l dollars (f 2,550) in cash tioti simply that it belonged with the informa to the State of Alabama. A BETTER TIME COMIMCr! BEAD, PONDER, AND ACT CPON IT. The il:in has often suggested itself to my mind tht it would lie better fornll parties, the parchser Mid the dealer, to make contracts for CASH ONLY in exchange for merchandize; and in pursuance of that plan 1 will. on and after the first day of July next, sell for cash only, believing that we are all equally interested, as y that means I will be enabled to sell you goods in my line, 33 o o t js Brogans, SHOES, LEATHER, &C, for sro less money than I could possibly do and have them on account. It is to vour interest to make your purchases tor cash, as it will save on each pair of shoes, ten, fifteen, and frequently twenty-five cents, and some times fifty cents in fine shoes and Congress Gaiters; and on boots the saving will be still greater, from fifty cents to one dollar per pair. For these reasons I am enabled to make this deduction in the price of Boots and Shoes First, in all kinds of business where credit is given there are some bad debts, and many that are good do not pay up promptly, thereby creating a loss in interest j which will sum up heavily where there is much busi ness; 'tis true many pay up after a long time, with six j per cent interest, but that does not answer in trade I where money is worth ten per cent. The second, is negligence or forgctfnlness on the part ofthe merchant or clerk to charge the goods sold. The third is the necessity of employing some one to write up the Books and make out the Accounts, which amounts to a loss (generally termed expenses) of from five to six hundred j dollars a year. It therefore becomes me to stop up these great drains from the credit system, and sell you my goods BOOTS, SHOES, BHOGANS, LEATHER, &c., at the great saving to you often or fifteen per cent. Merchants will find it to their interest to make their purchases from me as I have all my j.'ods manufactured to order, and will sell goods AS LOW as they can be bought in New York, and will guarantee to duplicate any order or invoice purchased in New York.

Of course, whilst there are no braver men in tht I world physically than the soldiers and sailors of tk( I United States and of England, no one enters I either the military or naval service of these I countries who has any hope or expectation of I future. No man whose soul swells with 1 1 consciousness of great capabilities is going to pBt himself in a position where those capabilities can never be of any earthly use to his country, mankind or himself, much less to place his person in the power of petty tyrants, who may at their pleasure subject him to corporeal punishment, shave his head, or put him in a chain gang. The only generals of Napoleon who ever prottj recreant were men of great social pretensions. 1 more military talent shall be needed at the head of the French army, Napoleon III will look for it where genius and fidelity are generally found j the ranks.
