So it will be seen if the Governor appoints democrats he is accused of using railroads as political machines if he appoints whigs, his motives are impugned and no credit allowed. Therefore, the possibility of silencing complaint is slim the opposition don't want to be satisfied and they have determined not to be.

Mr G row's resolution stated that that section 13th '-is in the nature of a revenue bill," (which the Senate has no right to originate.) and that therefore it '-be return- ed to the Senate.'' The House adopted the resolution, and thus, to all intents and purposes, rejected the amendments" We certaiulv cannot and never shall agree that the action of the House, as stated by the Observer, was a rejection of the Senate s amendments really, it was treating the Senate with contempt and insult. The de claration that the 13th section "is in the nature of a revenue bill'' and therefore it "be returned to the Sen ate" was not what legislators understand as a rejection. Of course it was an indirect rejection, and that is the cause of complaint. If it was not the intention of Grow, and Vance and Gilmer to throw the responsibili ty oi the Sunate for the failure of the bill, why did they not save the vote taken directly on the amendments, either rejecting or approving them? In that way all the difficulty would have been avoided. But they did not do that, and the above quotation does not show that they did sc. So it would seem that the Congressional Globe susUins Mr C's statement, that the House neither rejected nor accepted the Senate amendments, but did actually return the bill without acting on them. The Observer still contends that the Journal of Com merce (from which it previously quoted) is a democra tic paper, and not a "neutral paper" as we classed it. We admit that that paper is now supporting the demo cratic party. How could it consistently act otherwise in the present state of affairs, while there are only two parties at the North, the democratic and black republi can? There, it is either democracy or black republican ism, and the editors of the Jour, of Com. are too good national men not to choose to support the democracy. In that they showed their good sense, and we hope our esteemed friends of the Observer think so too. But we have always looked upon that paper as a commercial, neutral newspaper, and up to 1852 or '56 with strong old-line Whig sentiments. We know that many con sidered it, originally, an organ of old-line Whiggery. We know, as the Observer says, that G row's resolu tion contained no such language as that "the Senate had violated the constitution,'' but we know that that was the meaning of the resolution, fairly construed. As to the time at w hich the matter was taken up iu the House, the Observer says it was the morning of the last day .Mr Clingman says it was at night. But suppose Mr C. is mistaken, is it not likely the bill was retained in the House aud not sent to the Senate until night? The Observer says Messrs Branch and Letcher, dems., were on the House branch of the committee of confer ence which insisted on a new bill we don't doubt that, but Messrs Branch and Letcher did not (nor did any democrat of the N. C. delegation) vote for Growrs fac tious resolution as did John A.Gilmer and Z. B.Vance. The Observer is mistaken in supposing that we have I admitted that the bill offered bv the conference com mittee to the Senate was no new bill, but the old one with the amendments omitted we do not admit any such thing. Our understanding is that the bill offered to the Senate was a new one, but represented to be similar to the old one, without the amendments of course: and to properly consider that bill, and learn its provisions, the Senate did not have time enough left after it was received. To have passed the bill through without reading and understanding it would have been wrong and hasty legislation, and w e know the Observer is very properly opposed to hasty action. We assure our friends of the Observer that as soon as we get the Congressional Globe we will refer to it and have something more to say on the subject. In the meantime we have no idea that Vance and Gilmer can be cleared of the charge we at first brought against them (about which the discussion commenced) that they voted for Glow's resolution with the expectation aud hope of embarrassing a democratic Administration. That they voted as we have charged is uotd'.nied, and our inference as to their object is fair and dedueible from the circumstances. fiisgr Was it not the Hon. Edward Bates that our opposition coteniporaries in this State were praising last summer as a very conservative man, sound on the questions as to the rights of the South, etc.? We think it was. Well, this same Hon. Edward Bates of 3Iissouri, has just published a letter in which he takes sides with the black re publican party and against thc institution of sla very. He wants to be the republican and opposi tion candidate for President, and to secure that position he is willing to betray his section and its institutions. Atlanta, Ga., Nov. 17.

ALARMING INTELLIGENCE. The Iittcuc of Brovn tf Co. Thrtatcned. Washington City. Nov. isth. Gov.

"T""- F?? f J j! confederates and asking for force to disperse them. : The military of Richmond and Alexandria were instant- ' J 1 - - - aL!. !y under arms, and two companies passed here this morning en route for Charlestown. On Thursday last five barns and out-houses were set on fire bv some incendiarv. From the Richmond Enquirer, 18th inst. The following is the substance of the telegraphic de spatches and letters received bv the Executive of Virgin- ia, which will be found interesting at this particular time. ! Col. Daris in Charlestown telegraphs to Mr Barbour 1 at Harper's Ferry, to telegraph the Mayor of Alexau- , dria to call Capt. M. Marve, ol the Momit Vernon Guards. 1 - to his aid immcdiatelv. : Mr R-trhmir uHila In 1ia llnnr rf ll.runrlrin that I i the message to him reported --'50 armed meu encamped . t , tl Ty i at Berrvville Ford. This was all Mr Barbour knew of the case. Capt. Ma rye telegraphed that he would leave Alexan dria with his Company, at 5 o'clock Friday morning. Col. Stewart and Major Duffy both telegraphed the Governor requesting orders to take two companies and the artillery. The Governor has given the orders to move immedi ately upon the Berrvville Ford, unless information gui ded them otherwise. Col. Davis telegraphs to Governor Wise to order out the cavalry, which has been done. Col. Davis says "there is a guerilla war here; the property of five of the best citizens has been burnt.'' Upon this the Gov ernor has ordered the 1st Regiment (Richmond) to be in readiness, and thev were awaiting orders last night. This alarm confirms anonymous communications re ceived by the Executive in the last two days, warning him of the intended raids in different squads along the borders of Virginia and Kentucky. He is also warned of an abolition scheme which may be in concoction to kidnap and spirit away prominent citizens or members of their families, and to keep them as hostages for the pardon of the culprits.
