Railroad i f- n changed so as to bring the mail here now 15 j.-jrs earlier than heretofore. The public in this sec . n certainly have cause to thank Mr Cameron, the j-t-i icnt of the Road, for this much needed change. Thr Northern mail is now closed here at 8 o'clock, p. -. at which tini''. r before, all letters must be put in e oflice. 'rl:e ,nil'l leaves at 9 p. m., and arrives at a. ru. Pay of Costuactoks.

Election f Skxators. The fact that the two Sen-4-,-5 r-Teiitlv elected by the Legislature are Eastern . n. Kits occasioned some complaint and displayed , tt; ot sectional jealousy. It is conteuded that one . 'be Senators should have been selected from the ,;-!. It is true, a fair division would have given -,r satisfaction, and the people of the West are ::-r .!ici in claiming one of the Senators; but then we ,,!i t thiak it a matter of so much importance as to i' : 1 ( mu.-c tor jealousy, bait teeluig and contention) t:wtin the people of the two sectious. And t :, i.iiiv r re such feelings to be deprecated at this :e. Kvery patriot should discountenance sectional i. ,:-. and strive to keep the people of every section ,, !k- State and Confederacy united and on good : us. Let us know no Iast nor no West while the .Mtitimies and while there is an urgent demand for . ,.:.:.i:i of all our strength aud eneriries against a coin- -, i: l i.ciny. Therefore we luj)e to see uo qu irrcl I jrrn.i n about the election of Senators. After war tlie-e tinners maybe settled, aud the West ::: ixirc se her voting power to suit circumstances. A.:!i there is general dissatisfaction in the West i 't'l the election, we have no doubt the gentlemen '! f l will attend to the interests of ihe West as well utile interests of their own secti n of the State. The chtii kliug of the Fay. Observer and Ral. Stand :.d i iLc defeat of Messrs Avery and Clingnian is not !cu!ated to promote good feeling. The Standard es--iiilly, we regret to see, seizes every convenient op- ;;;miu 10 disparage and injure, politically, the origi-s- e.-sionists of the Slate. For our own part ;ire not sorry that Mr Clingnian was defeated. We vtr did favor his election six years ago we openly posed it but we are not disposed to rejoice at his -iVat now and tit:nt cessarily offend his frieuds. A' i- think the West ought to have had one of the Sena : rs, :ui i inasmuch as Mr Davis (one of the reprcsenta- : i of the State at large in the late Congress) was "ttei, Mr Avery, the other representative, should . have been elected ; then no one would have had p" ciuise for complaint. But we are not disposed to -:miss the matter now we shall wait for a better and 1 re convenient and appropriate time. Tut Legislature.

SSTOar friend of the Fayetteville Observer says that all he has said "about party and party feeling since i this war began, has been in deprecation of their inani- Testation bj others." That may be, but we think the : manner of expressing the "deprecation' has been cal- ! ciliated to give offence to those who have been demo- j crats. For instance, the allusion to the appointment of i. Tr,..ti.o tt-,,u , -u,: r .u n -.. r- ..Ir Jonathan orth as chairman of the Committee of ; finance in the Legislature, and the tauntins remark that the nartv in nower. or the democrntir nrtvb.iH to take up a man whom it had abused, aud place him in j omce 'or i tie purpose ot torming a revenue bill, was . town ot r ranklin. not calculated to kill off partv feeling We looked 1 T"""t-l a" M v 1,,liUe ior ies the ninth Dis- Au act to iucorporate the N.

But nailltMi. but it is thought Gen. Lee or Gen. Polk will be what we meant in alluding to the party feeling of the : appointed. Observer and other papers was their occasional taunts of the democratic party and a seeming disposition to make it appear that only demoirats were disposed to keep up party lines. There are no doubt individual democrats who prefer to keep party lines drawn, as there are individual whigs who do so, but the masses of both parlies desite no such thing, and therefore we say that neither party should be biamed or ridiculed or sneered at for the acts of certain individuals. We believe the Observer does desire to eschew party in this crisis,but its dislike of the old democratic party shows itself occasionally notwithstanding good inten tions. Artillery Horses. A writer in the Newbern Pro gress proposes to the citizens of Craven county and that section, that they furnish horse3, by donation, for Capt. Brem's artillery company now on duty below Newbern.

Correspondence of the Democrat, Camp Fatittktilli, near Yorktown, ") September 18tb, 1861. Jfr Editor: This point is 6 miles east of Yorktown, and is named In honor of the ladies of Fayetteville, who presented the 1st Reg. N. C. Vols, with a very handfome Flag. The presentation of the flag was made by Joha W. Baker, Esq. The flag is splendid, and we are anxious to wave it in triumph over another Bethel, or plant it upon the ramparts of Fortress Monroe with shouts of victory onto it. Gen. Hill is looking remarkably well. The Brigade which he commands consists of lstN. C. Reg. Vols., 15th and 115th Virginia Regts., 2d and 1 0th Louisiana Regts., Louisiana Battalion, Battalion of Howitzers, and one regiment of Virginia Cavalry. I am not certain that this Brigade has been permanently assigned to him, but he has been placed in command of these forces, which are encamped in this immediate vicinity. Our Camp is an excellent location. It is high aud healthy, and tbe water is Tery good. The election for Field Officers of the lit Regiment, resulted as follow? : For Colonel Lee 701 , Lane 72, Conley 1. For Lieut. Colonel Laue 1'8, McDowell 21, Lec IS, McKethan 1, Hoke 1. For Major Lt. Hoke 278, Lt Owens 131, Lt. Floyd 80, Capt. Marshall 45, Capt. Starr 153, Cupt. Huske iH, Lt. Dickson 92, Lt. Lewis 18. The Field Officers thus selected are entirely accepta ble to the Regiment, and deservedly popular with all the men. Many foolish reports hare been put in circulation about the neglect of the sick, drunkenness of the Regi ment, &e., which are entirely untrue We did'ut conic here to find everything ns we had it at home, and many of us therefore are not disappointed. But some men are children away from home, and very foolish. This is not saying as much as David, who said in his haste, 'all men are liars." His remark was hasty in that it was too sweeping. If he had said half of mankind spend their time in grumbling and growling at the other half, he would have struck the nail on the head. Sickness is abating very rapidly, and we are doing re markably well. Chills and fevers have so displayed themselves upon my lips, that it i with difficulty I can open my mouth. Bad fix. truly, but might be worse. Yours, &c, S. Camp Faykttkvillk, Sept. 20. Troops nre concentrating here, and I think in a week or so we will have some fighting. Gen. Hill, Col. Lee and one hundred cavalry went down to within a mile of .Newport News. They were fired on by the enemy's pickets, who had one or two howitzers. The guns from the shipping in James River also opened upon them, but done no damage. Our men made tracks aud left the enemy tiring at the dust they raised. The State of North Carolina has also presented the 1st Regiment with a Flag, with the word ''Bethel" on if. The Fayetteville Flag is the best. The "Polwh Brigade" will be here in a day or two. I believe they are uow in Yorktown. They are from New Orleans. fiST" Petitions have beeu sent to Washington from New York and Philadelphia, praying that Russell, the correspondent of the London Times, be sent back to England banished from the country. Jgjg-Lincoln's agent, who went to Europe for the purpose of borrowing money to aid the Federals, has returned without being able to raise a dollar. The effort was a complete failure.

ZollicolTer's interference." StlZt RE OF 1UCON AND LEATHER. We Under stand that in compliance with the Proclamation of the Governor, a large quantity of Bacon and Lea ther, en route For Virginia, and the property of speculators, wjj seized at the Depot of the North Carolina Kailroad in this city on Wednesday. Wo hear, also, that a quantity of Bacou bought on speculation, and destined for a point out of tho State, has been seized at High Point. Speaking of speculators, we are constrained to say that glaring attempts at monopolizing the article of bacon have been 111 a do in this quarter. One concern, composed of two individuals not engaged in mer cantile business aud paying no merchant's license, have bought a large quantity of Bacon at 18 cents or less per pound, aud are selling it at 25 cents. Now we are willing to see any man make a reasona ble profit on bis investments, but we do contend that profit of 7 tents a pouriQ on Bacon is mcst unreasonable and extortionate. This is no time for taking selfish advantages of the necessities of the country. Instead nf doing so, men should be content 'to live and let live." Rakigh RegUttr. m We have understood, within a few weeks, that an English vessel, having many good things on board, with a large supply of quinine, opium, &c., arrived in the Confederate States and has been cared for.
