We see a statement in the pa pers that Robinson's Circus had a fight at White hall, Robeson county, N C. One of the citizens was killed and others wounded.

New York. The indications are that the A merican I'tica State Ticket, selected from the De mocratic and Republican candidates, are generally elected. The Republicans claim an increased ma jority in the State Senate. The House is largely Republican. The vote in New York City was only 54.000. beimr 46.000 less than registered. The -"-- Democratic majority in the city is 1,00 for Comptroller and 20,000 for Secretary r :ecrctary of Mate. Maryland. The DemoeraLs will have a large majority in the Legislature. In the House of Delegates the Democrats will have 40 members, and the K. N.'s 25; iu the Senate, 13 Democrats to 8 K. N.'s.

In the present state of affairs does it not behoove every southern community to closely watch every stranger who comes into it, especially those who arc peddlimg, lecturing or begging whether male or female ? We see that some southern towns have adopted measures to detect emissaries, and if every town and village would do the same thing it might prevent some trouble.

To the Eds. of the Petersburg Express: Gentlemen On my way home from Jackson, my attention Wis called by a friend to the account of the difficulty at that place between Mr Moody and myself, given in the letter of a correspondent ... , . , -.. ar:d addressed to your paner.

I shall not be drawn into any contro versy about the facts, as they will fully appear in proper time. I have been compelled to say thus much, lest my silence might be construed to my prejudice. Respectfully yours, B. F. MOORE. Since putting the above in type, we find in the Express the following card from Mr Mood7 : Garysburg, N. C, Nov. 7. Mr Editor: I deem it due to myself to correct an error in the statement made by Mr Moore, (through your columns,) relative to my difficulty with him. I do emphatically and unhesitatingly assert that Mr Moore made a most unexpected and uncalled for attack on me, (during a conversation I had with him at Jackson,) by attempting to stab me with a knife which was open and concealed, for I did not see it until the moment he made the attempt to use it, and I only defended myself against the at tack made by him, which was so sudden I was en tirely unprepared for it. I will hereafter, if neces sary, give all the particulars. Yours, very respectfully, J. 31. MoODY. A Town Attacked hy Robbers and Outlaws Brownsville, Texas, has recently been attacked by a band of robbers. The last news from that quar ter says : "Cortinas and his band continue their depreda tions, threatening the inhabitants with fire and sword. On the 20th ultimo thirty men entered the city and fired one round, when they were sur prised by the artillery and fled. On the 24th one hundred and twenty men, with cannon and how itzers, matched against Cortinas, and drove the guard from his house. They were subsequently surprised by an ambuscade, and lost a cannon and howitzer, and finally were entirely defeated. Four were wounded and nine killed. Cortinas lost two, killed.

Tim man Davis j this representative of Maryland know-nothingistn : and "plug-uglyism" has just been re-elected to ! Congress. Is the South to understand that the , people he represents approve his sentiments? It is true he was elected by mob force, by the rowdies of Baltimore; but will the good and respectable portion of the population of Baltimore submit to such things? Will they not petition the House of Representatives to exclude Davis from his seat ? We do not speak about Davis simply because he : tlon was carried by the rowdy-rascals of the city ! in a wav that is disgraceful to anv civilized com- ! manity. The friends of the Reform ticket (com- i Dosed of whiffs and democrats were mohhed and I beaten from the polls, two or three persons were i killed and the democratic candidate for Congress j was dangerously wounded. Is such conduct to go j unchecked in a free country? 'In Peace prepare for War." We hope the members of Congress from this State will act on the following suggestions of the Fayetteville Observer : The U. S. Arsenal. We think, in view of all the circumstances, especially those of recent oc currence, it is high time for Congress to carry out the original design of the Arsenal at Fayetteville, by making it an Arsenal of Construction. It has remained idle and useless quite long enough. Be fore a bill can be passed through the ensuing ses sion of Congress, the Railroad to the coal and iron and timber region of Deep River will be completed, and that difficulty in the way will be removed. We trust that our entire delegation in Congress will feel interested in accomplishing this important object at the earliest possible day. In addition to what the Observer says, we re mark that it is not only a matter of interest to Fay etteville and the State of North Carolina that the Arsenal should be completed immediately and put iu operation, but it is of vital importance to all the southern States the. whole South and therefore the whole southern delegation iu Congress should feel interested in the matter. We have always been and are in favor of preserving the Union and the Constitution, but if the North continues her aggressions on the South, it is evident that the two sections cannot stick together. Therefore it is wisdom for our section to prepare for any emer gency that may occur. Terrihle Disaster at Sea 400 persons suj- posed to be last.

The Dan River Coal Field Rail Road. The stockholders in the above named Rail Road, had a most enthusiastic meeting at Wentworth on last Saturday, the 5th instant. We learn that there was a large delegation from the city of Richmond, and that the counties of Stokes and Forsyth, were ably represented. The greatest unanimity and harmony prevailed, and it is now considered a fixed fact, that Richmond will be connected with the North Carolina Rail Road, at High Point, by the way of Danville, Leaksvillc, Germanton and Salem. The company was organized by the election of acompetent board ofdirectors. John W. Brodnax, Esq., was elected President; Jones W. Burton Esq., Secretary and Treasurer, and Col. B. M. Jones, of Danville, Chief Engineer. We understand that it is the intention of the company, so soon as it is determined where the Danville road will intersect the North Carolina line, to commence operation?, and to press the work on with vigor to its completion Greensboro Patriot mM Horrible Massacre by the Indians. We find in the Salt Lake papers of the 5th ult., the details of another Indian massacre, which occurred twenty five miles west of Fort Hall, on Lander's cut off, on the night of the 2nd of September, on a party consisting of six men, three women and ten children, part from Michigan and part fron Buchanan county, Iowa. The massacre must have been a most horrible one. The emigrants were surrounded just as they were about camping, and shot down before they had time to prepare for defense. Some who escaped, fell in soon after ' with a company of dragoons, under command of I Lieut. Livingston, who sent a detachme.it to the j scenes of the massacre. The following is the i description of what they found : "After informing the command of our '.listress, : Lieut. Livingston sent a detachment of nine men, ' with one of our company to pilot them to the i place of the massacre. On iheir arrival they found the dead bodies of five persons on the ground, out of the eight that were missing. The dead were horribly mangled and scalped. One little irirl. nve ye little eirL five years old, had both her legs cut off at the knees; her ears were also cut off, aud her mm Amv out from their sockets; and to all appearances the g.rl, after having her legs cut off, had been compelled to walk on the stumps, for the . ... 1-ll .flT shj purpose ot gratifying the hellish propensity savage barbarity.

The Favettkvillb Obsebvsb ash the P. O. Bill. The Fayetteville Observer is generally so well posted in regard to public affairs that it is seldom we find it i ,n error m statin? occurrences, circumstances, cc, but ! ... . . . t. , ' , . . , w,tn regard to the action of the last Congress in rela- tion to the Po3t office Appropriation Bin, we really I think it is in error, unintentionally so of course The Observer has heretofore quoted from the N. Y. Journal of Commerce and Washington Star, which it calls democratic testimony, to show on whom the re sponsibility rests for the defeat of the bill. Our friends are again at fault in classing the Journal of Commerce as a democratic paper it is a neutral paper (if there ever was such a thing), and if it has sometimes leaned pretty far towards democracy it was because right and justice, and the country's interest seemed to require it. But the testimony of the Journal of Commerce is en titled to no more, not as much, credence as some we have cited, Mr Clingman for instance, who was present and knows exactly what took place. In a letter dated "Senate Chamber, March 7, 1859," Mr Clingman states the facts in regard to the action of the House and Senate as follows: " The Post Office appropriation bill came from the House to the Senate at the present session in the usual mode. It made appropriations to the extent of above twenty millions of dollars, of which a little less than four millions was to pay off deficiences or debts due be fore the .'50th of Juue next, and the remainder for the postal service of the coming year. The bill was care fully considered by the Senate for several days, and as usual a number of amendments were made. Among tern was one abolishing the franking privilege of Sena tors and Representatives, and another raising the post age of letters from three to five cents, kc. It was sent back to he House for concurrence in these amend ments. For some time after it reached that body, the majority refused to consider it, though repeated at tempts were made to take it up. At length, on the last night of the session, it was taken up, but instead of its amendments being considered as usual, and agreed to or rejected, a resolution was moved, declaring in sub stance that the Senate had violated the constitution in proposing to increase the rates of postage, and direct ing the Clerk of the House to carry back the bill and amendments to the Senate with a copy of their resolu tion. This motion was made by Mr Grow, a noted abolitionist from Pennsylvania, and a candidate at the late Congress of the Bluck Republican party for the office of Speaker. It was supported by all the mem bers of that party, by several individuals belonging to the late Know Nothing or American organization, and by several democrats, and was therefore passed. As this was a violation of all parliamentary usages, of all legislative proprieties, and a course insulting to a co ordinate branch of the Congress, its supporters doubt less thought that the Senate could not consistently with its own self-respect take any notice of the matter, and thus the bill be suffered to die quietly to the Uetriment of the public service. When the message was brought in by their Clerk, however, the Senate, feeling that the public interest ought to be of paramount consideration, determined to overlook the insult, however gross it might be, and sent back a respectful message to the House requesting a committee of conference to consider the disagreement on the bill. This was acceded to, and a joint committee was raised. When it assmbled, however, the members from the House refused to con sider this bill in any way. Had they done so, the Senate, I feel confident, would have receded from all its amendments rather than let the bill fail. In accord ance, however, with the views of the House, they would have nothing to do with this bill, but insisted that the Senate branch of the committee should accept, instead of it, an entire new bill, which was represented to be similar to the one which had oriirinaliy come from the House. The Senate branch of the committee, seeing that nothing else could be done, agreed to report this bill to the Senate for its consideration. Their report was accordingly made to the Senate on the last day of the session, just forty minutes before 12 o'clock, the period at which by the constitution the session was necessarily to terminate. The bill was an nounced and read by its title only for the first time. A call was then made for the reading of it through; but it was said that there would not be time to read it over before the period of adjournment. It was a new bill to the Seuate, had never been printed; but I suppose that the Secretary could probably have read it over once before 12 o'clock, though there was certainly no time to consider its provisions. It was said that we must either pass it without read ing it even once, or not at all. A debate sprung up which exhausted the remaining minutes, and the bill was thus left unacted on. Ought the Senate to have passed this bill without its being read over once to let Senators know what sort of a measure it was? Remember that by the rules of lhe two houses all bills must be read three times in each house; and this is done unless waived by general con sent of all the members. Ought a legislative body ever to pass a bill without at least reading it once to ascer tain what sort of a measure it is?" The above statement and the reference by the Obser ver to the Congressional Globe, only differ in one point which is material to our side of the discussion the Observer says the bill was taken up by the House on the morning of the last day of the session; Mr Clingman says it was taken up at night of that day. But suppose the Observer is correct about the time at which the bill was taken up for consideration, might not the House have kept it until night before returning it to the Senate? What we have been contending for is to show that the House is responsible for the defeat of the bill, or at leas that portion of it which desired to embarrass the Administration that Grow, an abolitionist, headed the movement which caused the bill to fail, and that Vance and Gilmer co-operated with Grow by sustaining his factious resolution. It is true as the Observer states (and as we have heretofore stated) that some democrats also voted for Grow's resolution, but because they did wrong it does not relieve Vance and Gilmer from blame, or throw the responsibility for the defeat of the bill on the Senate. If Grow, and Vance and Gilmer, kc, had not been aiming to embarrass Mr Buchanan's adminis tration, why did they not merely reject the senate s amendments and let the bill go back for concurrence, and not send it back without action, accompanied with a declaration that the Senate had violated the Constitu tion. -. - Our friends of the Observer, in their first and second reply to our articles, contended that the House did act on the Senate's amendments by rejecting them, but we believe it is now conceded no such action was had. We consider this an important point, for if the House had rejected the amendments, and sent the bill back, there is no doubt but that the Senate would have receded, and all the difficulty been avoided. That Gilmer aud Vance acted as we at first charged is not denied. So the difference between the Observer and ourselves is as to the time at which the original bill was finally act ed on by the House and at which the new bill was re ported to the Senate. Mr Clingman says the action was during the "last night" of the session, and the new bill was reported only forty minutes before the hour fixed bv law for the final adjournment, which did not allow the Senate sufficient time to pais the bill.

The Confession of John E. Cook, one of the in surrectionists, says a Charlestown letter, covers some twenty-five pages of manuscript, and is written in a smooth style. Nothing new is elicited, except that he implicates Fred Douglas and Dr. Howe with the af fair. The confession will not be published in the pa pers, as it will be printed iu pamphlet form and sold for the benefit of Saml. C. Young, of Charlestown, who was severely wounded in front of the Armory gale during the attack on the insurgents. A great effort will be made by the defence to save the prisoner from hanging, and fears are entertained by many that the effort will be successful. The out side feeling against the accused is very great. All that have beer, convicted are sentenced to be hung on the 16th December, and it is thought that Brown, who was sentenced to be hung on the 2d. will be respited untilthe 16th, so as to do the whole job at one time. It is stated that one of the insurgents was arrested in Buncombe county, N. C, last week. Forkiom Nkws. The steamship Hungarian from Liverpool, with dates to the 2d inst. has arrived.
