A letter from Raleigh, published in the Grecns

The sealing down of the subscriptions to the

uated proportion; forty shares to ten, eighteen
i. bares to six, kc, up to thirty-four, which is the
i nvest number awarded The effect seems to cre
ate .-"ine slight discontent, but generally we believe
it will be acquiesced in. The 5s and 10a of the

i :, A U. Journal uv Edlcation. We have
received the October number of this valuable pub
iieation, and find its pages well filled with interest
ing matter. The. article from the pen of Gov.
Swain, "the War of the Regulation," is worth the
subscription price of the work. A portion of that
artiele we copy on our second page.
Mr J. 1. Campbell, the resident Editor of the
Journal, deserves much credit for the manner in
which he gets it up, and for his devotion to the
cause of Common Schools in North Carolina.

Yellow FEVER. In Houston and Galveston,

The Know Nothing party of New York held
their State Convention on the 21st, and selected a
State ticket from the nominations already made by
the Idaek Republican and Democratic party five
of the former and four of the latter. If the know
nothings at the North are conservative, why did
they put five black republicans on their tieket?

PROM SAN JUAN.
There is nothing later from the "sent of war" at the
Island of .San Juan than has already been given via St.
Louis and New Orleans. It is alleged that the whole
-difficulty" in the ca-c has been created by the hasty
conduct of Gov. Douglass who ha the misfortune io be
the servant of the Hudson May Company, as well as of
the British government, met by equally hasty conduct
on the pan of General Harney. The latter, as hereto
fore stated, wrote a letter to Governor Douglass, in re
ply to a protest of the Governor to the occupation of
the island by the United States troops.
General Harney said, in answer to the protest, that
he had placed a military command on the island to
protect the American re?idents frni the insult and En
tities which the British authorities of Vancou ver s
i : Old and the establishment of the Hudson Bay Com
!:i:iv have recently offered them, by sending a British
man-of-war from -Vancou ver's Island to convey the chief
: r of tin- Hudson Bay Company to San Juan, for the
-e of seizing an American citizen and forcibly
transporting him to Vancouver". Island, to be tried by
British laws. I have reported this attempted outrage
to my govern Bent, and they will doubtless seek the pro
per redress from the British government. In the mean
time 1 hae the honor to inform your excellency I shall
lot permit a repetition of that in.-ult. and shall retain a
command on San Juan Island to protect the citizens in
he name of the United States until I receive further
orders from my government."
Gov. Douglass replies in a polite and apologetic tone,
nonying that any such outrage was threatened or con
tempnted as the one complained of by General Harney,
and demands that the latter, in consequence of this 'dis
ttaet and emphatic denial," shall withdraw his troops,
"nd leave the island in statu quo ante bellum ; and thns
the matter stood at last advice.
SVC5tC
The next Presidential Election. The
Washington correspondent of the Journal of Com
merce has some encouraging speculations as to the
next election. "We take the following paragraphs
from his letter:
" From the coming Presidential election the
country is not, however, likely to incur any dan
ger, but its result will probably tend to assuage
party and sectional bitterness. The slavery agita
tion will be rendered useless for political purposes,
if it shall be found, as it probably will be, that
those who have sought to use it for selfish and un
patriotic ends, can derive no benefit from it.
"Every statesman in the South is now known to
have moderate opinions on the slavery question.
They ask no further Congressional legislation re
specting slavery in the Territories. Senator
Toombs, for instance, has recently avowed his
views. to this effect. Mr Boyce's late speech truly
expresses what is generally understood to be the
opinion of the South on the subject of slavery in
the Territories to wit that it is "purely a specu
lative question." There is not to be so much
i!irticnr- t lua. abiM ao
has been by some antici-
pared, either in the formation of a platform at 1
Charleston, or the selection or candidates to be
placed thereupon.
"The general prosperity of the country, particu
larly of the South, is also favorable to a peaceful
result of the election contest; and the northern
people generally have begun to distrust those lead
ers who would persuade rhem that their interests
arc in perpetual conflict with those of the slave
holding States."
t&" In some ot the Parishes of Louisiana
vigil-
ance committees have been organized to protect
the citizens against the depredations of scoundrels,
but it is said they have punished innocent persons,
and the Governor had to visit the sections disturb
ed for the purpose of restoring order.
We hope not. We see it stated in some of
the papers that the President intends to appoint ;
... . i
James Cordon Bennett, editor of the New York
Herald, Minister to France, as soon as Mr Mason;
the present minister, returns home. We do not
believe the President intends doing any such thing;
we hope not. The New Yoik Herald is one of
those unscrupulous papers which changes its poli
tics to suit its convenience, to put money in Ben
nett's pocket. The Fremont party bought up the
concern during the last Presidential canvass, and
we suppose the man or party that bids the highest
can get its support in the next canvass. An editor
who trims his sails, and the politics of his paper,
for the popular breeze, is not very reliable, and cer
tainly not tit for the confidence of either party.
Whenever a true democrat is not appointed, we
would prefer to see office bestowed on an out-and-out
opponent than on one of the mongrel kind
then no one could be deceived.
The Greenville (Term.) Democrat publishes a
letter from Win. G. Brownlow of the Knoxville
Whig to the Hon. N. G. Taylor, advising an ar
rangement between the Republicans and theSouth
ern Opposition for a division of the offices of the
House td Representatives.
We find the above paragraph in our exchanges.
As bad an opinion as we always entertained of
Brownlow, the "fighting parson, " we never thought
he would advise a union with the Republicans for
a share of the offices 'for a division of the offices.'
Brownlow has always been very abusive of the
democratic party, and opposition newspapers seem
to delk-ht in quoting his sayings, but how many
of them will quote his advice for a union with
the black republicans, and condemn it? The fact
is, it is becoming more apparent every day that
the odds and ends of all factions are combining
with what is called the "Opposition" in order to
get a share of the office merely for the purpose
of turning democrats out and getting "Opps" in
and to accomplish this, all sorts of slanders against
democrats and the democratic party,
whether
originated by black republicans at the North or
unscrupulous politicians at the South, are trumped
up and published by opposition papers every where.
The sole motive is to injure aud break down the
national democratic party ; against which, their
prejudice and eternal enmity knows no relenting.
BATTLE WITH THE CHINESE.
Late foreign advices give details of a battle be
tween the Chinese on one side and the English and
French on the other.
Admiral Hope arrived off the Pieho River on
the 17th of June, but found the entrance barred.
An attempt was made on the 26th to force a pass
age, when suddenly batteries supported by a force
of twenty thousand men were unmasked aud open
ed a destructive fire.
After a severe action the squadron was com
pelled to withdraw with the loss of gun-boats Cor
morant, Lee and Plover, and four hundred and
sixty-four men killed and wounded. The French
had fourteen men killed out of sixty.
Seven British officers were killed and seventeen
wounded the latter including the Admiral.
Hie Plenipotentiaries had returned to Shanghai.
The details say that the mouth of the river was
rakeu oy rne ure oi iiewij' cuuwi umcu i v"-
At 1.30 P. M., the signal for action was run up.
The gun-boats Opossum and Plover pushed in
close to the first barrier, when the guns of the forts ;
! opened fire and the action became general. The
j fire of the Chinese in weight and precision, was '
j such as was never before experienced. Every shot
! told, while those of the British did comparatively
little damage. The troops were ordered to land, j
but as the first boat touched the shore the forts i
i poured a perfect hurricane of shells, balls and
rockets, which mowed down the men as they land- !
ed. The ship supported them as well as possible
The uiud on the shore was deep, and of the
thousand landing, barelv one hundred reached the
first ot the wide ditches, nve nariureu yams irom
the river. Only fifty reached the third ditch, and
these would have made an attempt to scale the
walls, but the ladders were broken by the shot or
stuck fast in the mud. W ith the one
. . . '
ten men sprang forward, three of whom were killed
and five severely injured.
Orders were at last given to retire, but in the
retreat the men were shot down like birds. Many
boats were swamned bv the balls, and there were
not enough to take off the survivors. Several boats
I
full of wounded were struck and swamped. Rus-
sian feathers were distinctly visible at the batteries.
The Americans towed up several boats to the
scene of action, and afterwards took a number ot
men to their respeclive ships
The Governments of France and England were
about taking immediate measures for inflicting
j chastisement upon the Chinese.
Correspondence of the Democrat.
Knfield, N. C , Sept. 29, 1859.
Editor of Democrat: Though not much in
the habit of newspaper epistolary correspondence,
:ilitl mit lllllf'h l lif-1 1 r 1 tVi-if v-if mmm iranaiil thinrv
yet my kindly feelings towards yourself and paper
prompt me to write something from this (to you)
distant part of the State, Halifax county.
The hills and vales which are so numerous about
and beyond Charlotte, form a striking contrast to
the level surface for which this part of the State
is remarkable.
Alter going over the major part of North Caro
lina, if one were to ask rue for an opinion as to
what part of the State is most desirable, I should
be unable to decide unable even to say what part
I would prefer for myself. It depends altogether
upon what a man is in search ot, whether this,
that, or the other place would suit him. Would
he have Corn, let him go to the Mattamuskeet
Luke in Hyde county, or to the low grounds ot
Roanoke, Scuppernoug, etc. Would he have Cot
ton, let him stand at Raleigh, point to Wadesboro'
on the southwest, and to Williamston on the east,
d "J 11 outh' tton' c 1tton' cottn
Would he have Wheat, let him stand at Raleigh
again, and looking towards the west, being careful
not to bear south too much, and he shall have
wheat sure enough. But may be hcd have a
chew of Tobacco, (odd man if he didn't,) then let
him stand at Raleigh again, make one straight line
to Gaston, in Northampton county, and another to
Morganton, in Burke, and if he doesn't find plenty
of the weed all north of these lines, then, why
"its no use." But where are the fish ? They are
in the water, sure. The tar, pitch, turpentine,
lumber, rice, Irogs, mosquitoes, etc , are distributed
through the regions of cotton and corn on the
southeast. These are the kings among whom the
good old North State is divided. The Minerals
are in the dominion of "luck" and "pluck."
Speaking of tobacco makes me think of a little
incident which occurred at a store in the town of
Plymouth several years ago. A small, white girl
came in to spend fifteen cents in coffee and snuff
C. I .1 IPL .1 l 1 I .....k
lOl licr mould. A lie uicicuaiiL asikcu iiuw inucii
she would have in coffee. "Five cents' worth of
coffee and the balance in snuff," said she. "Ten
cents in coffee and five cents in snuff," said the
merchant. "No," said the little one, "ten cents
in snuff, and five in coffee." And she carried the
tjuestoii at the point of her tongue. The argument
is "I'd just as soon die for coffee as for snuff."
Cotton is opening in this region, and farmers
are hopeful, though some complaint is made of
rust rust, that befalls everything in this mun
dane atmosphere.
Taking all things together, I think our good old
State is making more rapid progress to-day in the
way of intelligence and wealth, by far, than she
ever did. Kailroads ! Kailroads ! Say what you
! please about Kailroads; where they have been the
' death of one man in North Carolina, either physi
! cally, financially or politically, they have raised
i thousands from the dead. Young America has
found out the advantages of goiug fast, and unless
! he can be accommodated on the telegraph wires,
he'll be fixing some way to fly shortly llow fast
: the children grow. My oldest boy, not quite three
j years old, came up and said to his ma the other
! day, "I want you to take off all my clothes, so I
; can izrow bir fast."
A circumstance occurred here the other day
which was of a serious nature to think of, and yet
did not prove fatal to life or limb. An individual
of rather queer temperament, who lives but a few
miles from this place, had a grudge against another
individual, and on leaving home, resolved that
when he reached Enfield he would shoot the man
with whom he was at enmity. On arriving at the
grog-shop (called the "war deparment" here) he
found his man, but did not then choose to shoot.
They were both present in the same room for a
time, and some one who had wind of the murder
ous intent, took the loaded gun, fired it off, and
loaded it again, but with powder only. Altera
while the two men in queston might be seen about
twelve paces apart. He with the gun said to the
other, with an oath " I intend to kill you.''
Bang ! went the un; the man shot at dodged, and
seemed to feel the shot in his gizzard. Bang !
went the second barrel of the gun, and the man
dodged as before. There being no shot in the
gun, and the wad not striking the victim, of course
no harm was done, except in imagination. Both
of the men were in earnest; one thought he had
killed the other, and the other took it for granted
he must be killed, because two fair cracks were
taken at him. He said a few minutes afterwards
that he did not know but some of the load was in
him. I was certain there were several loads in
him from the way he sti.ggered along; but he had
been shot with a whiskey barrel, at three cents a
crack, off-hand.
Considering the evidently murderous intention
of the man who shot at the other, the individual
so offending was bound over in a considerable sum
to keep the peace, &c. In a few days, however,
he exhibited similar dangerous purposes, was re
arrested and sent on to jail. The meaner the
whiskey drank, the more meanly does it cause
men to act. Claret for a duel, French brandy for
a co;k-Jijht, and mean whiskey for a dog-jight.
In this case the man had shamain after the
fight.
A sad case recently occurred a few miles above
this place. An aged woman was living alone, and
a negro, who says he was drunk at the time, went
to her house, attacked her with fatal violence, so
that she died of her wounds on yesterday. The
poor woman lingered for about two weeks after the
assault. One feature of the case must be left to
conjecture amon
your readers. Again, on day
before yesterday, a young man, whilst squrrel
hunting, was accidently shot, and died immediate
ly. The gun was fired by a dog treading on the
trigger. A squrrel had been secured by one shot
from the gun, the second barrel was made ready,
but the purpose being changed the gun was lower
ed with the butt resting on the ground; but, alas!
the hammer being still raised, a touch upon the
trigger, and all was over. A large part of the
brain was borne away. The name of the young
man was Avent. Huguenot.
A PATRIOTIC LETTER.
We refer the reader to the truly patriotic
lottpr written hv the Hon. A. B. Sollers. Mr
Sellers is a distinguished Maryland Whig, and
became a iS.now-.oining wneu ni&puiy uiu up.
g a Whig elector, and in other capacities, he
served his party faithfully as long as there remained
a nope of preserving its nationality; but, like every
- - -L Wl L
other unprejudiced patriotic southern W hig, he
revolts at the infamous proposition to form a coalition
between the southern Know-Nothings and the
northern Black Republicans to overcome the
Democracy, and thereby humble the South. Mr
Sollers "mwtsi" such an Opposition; and, as every
. . . Ml 1 t L 1J1
other reflecting southern patriot will do, he boldly
..iVows his determination to act with his Democratic
brethren rather than the Opposition, composed
chiefly of Black Republicans. Salisbury Banner.
Oil from Iron. A New York Company has

THE FOREIGN NEWS.
The news by the recent arrivals from Europe is
of a character far from reassuring to the friends of ,
peace, and would seem to indicate that the phuos-
ophers who assumed war to be the normal condr- I
tion of mankind, were not far from right.
Recent articles in the official French paper, the
AJoniteur, traced (so it is asserted) directly to the
Emperor himself, are hardly less threatening in
their tone towards England, than similar official
givings out were towards Austria, prior to the out
break of the war in Italy. This, coupled with the
tone of the Independence. Behje, published at Brus
sels, which says that England must consent to have
her Navy estimates revised by France, or abide
the hazard of a war with that country.
The importance attached to the remarks of the
Independence arises from the fact that the partic
ular number of that paper containing them was al
lowed to pass freely into France, whereas previous
ly it had been stopped at the frontier.
The Chinese news is also startling, as any such
crushing repulse of European troops by Chinese
forts is wholly unexampled, and the report that
Russian faces were distinguished among those
manning the guns, seems by no means improbable,
as, indeed, the changed conduct of the Celestials
cannot otherwise be accounted for. It may be for
tuitous, but it looks something like the result of
design, that of those killed in the attack upon the
forts at the mouth of the Pieho River, but four
teen were French, and about five hundred English.
One might be tempted to ask which were the allies
the French and English outside of the forts, or
the French outside and the Russians inside, while
the English were the victims. We may be mista
ken, but it strikes us that if we all live long enough,
we will see war between England and France, and
we need not wait to be very old either.
The peculiar conduct of Spain is also beginning
to give some uneasiness. Not long since her torts
at Tarifa fired upon an English mail steamer, now
her troops are concentrating in the neighborhood
of Gibraltar, where her engineers have been sur
veying lines for some time past. She gives an
evasive reply to the demands of England, while
the Madrid journals publish articles urging the
necessity of taking Gibraltar from the English.
That this tone has its promptings at the Tuille
ries, either from Louis Napoleon or his Spanish
wife, there can hardly be a doubt, and that all
these things are fully appreciated in England, is
made manifest by the continued preparations going
on there. The Navy, so far as ships and guns are
concerned, never was in such a state, but the men!
the men wili not enter the navy, while they can
get employment at higher rates in the commercial
marine, especially while flogging is so extensively
practiced at the option of officers who frequently
have no sympathy with the men. In France "they
have a conscription for the sea service as well as
for the land. In England they used to impress
sailors, but no government would now dare to try
that, game, so that they must coax people to ship,
and the result is that their national vessels are
badly and insufficiently manned. Wil. Journal.

The Tuoublesin Utah Territory. Advices
from Utah to the 2d ult., announce that the
execution of the laws is entirely defeated by the
boldest acts of outrage and criminal violence,
which the judicial authorities cannot repress. The
United States Circuit Court at its August term,
had endeavored to bring the leaders of these
outlaws to justice, but the miscremts had not only
derided the process of the tribunal, but had
selected persons in attendance upon it for vengeance,
and had murdered them within gun-shot of the
court-house. Judge Sinclair was about to come
on to Washington to lay the facts before the gov
ernment. Mr. Wilson, the United States attorney,
was also coming to Washington, to defend himself,
it is said, against certain charges preferred by the
federal judges. Mr. Dotson, the United States
marshal, has sent in his resignation, on account of
the onerous duties and inadequate salary. Mr. 1).
says the government will have to change its entire
policy towards the Mormons.
Infidel Convention. A Convention of
Infidels, calling themselves philosophers, lately
met in Buffalo, N. Y., and expressed themselves
much dissatisfied with the present state of things.
Most of the old stagers, who figure on Abolition
Anniversaries, were present, and the professional
Infidels were well represented. Parker Pilsby, a
famous emancipationist, made a speech in which
he denounced the Church, Constitution and Union.
Another speech was made by a Miss Chapin, of
Brooklvn, who is described as a dark, withered
little woman, awkward in gesture and monotonous
in delivery. It is said that a large number of
those present were ladies a few sleek and well
conditioned, but the majority scraggy and shrewish
in appearance. A Buffalo journal says "it is
curiousthat female reformers are generally- destitute
of personal beauty." One of the male speakers
maintained the Monboddo theory, that all men
once wore tails.
Salem and Germanton Railroad Co. We
learn from the Salem N. C. Press of the 23d inst.,
that at a meeting of the Directors of the Salem
and Germanton Railroad Company, held at Win
ston on the 17th ult., F Fries, Esq., was unani
mously chosen President of the Road, and Thos.
J. Wilson, Esq., was in like manner chosen Sec
retary and Treasurer.
B. M. Jones, Civil Engineer, estimates that the
Road can be built from High Point to Germanton,
via Salem, for 450,000, which he says is rather
less than the usual cost of Railroads, but for which
he thinks it can nevertheless be done. This, with
a Road from Germanton, via Wentworth to Dan
ville, would make the Danville Connection. It
would be some twenty miles longer than the Dan
ville Connection direct, between Greensboro' and
Danville via Milton iu Caswell county. The line
so made would be sixteen miles longer between
Richmond Va. and Branchvillc S. C., than the
lower line via Wilmington
A respectable and wealthy farmer named
i Joseph Smith, residing at Kent, Canada est,
had been long annoyed by depredations upon his
ft uit. Some choice grapes had been a point of
: attack for a few days, and he loaded a gun, and
! before leaving the house to visit his barns towards
1 evening on Monday last, gave iustructious to a
' servant girl to watch the grape vines until his
! return, and ehoot any person who approached
i them. On his return from the fields, entirely
forgetting the directions he had so recently given j
j the girl, he went stratgnt to tne vines to pic a
i bunch of grapen. The girl, not recognising his
' person in the dim light, instantly fired upon him,
and the charge took tatai enect, in ine groin,
killing him in a few minutes. Mr Smith was a
nrnminent and much esteemed citizen, and the
affair creates a profound sensation in the neighbor
i hood. Of course no blame is attached to the girl,
i bat rather to the deceased, for the indiscreet
j directions be gave her.
