An Elphantine Rat. There is at presen
in the possession of Mr. Lewis Smith, of
Glasgow, Scotland, an animal of the rat spe
cies, of the following extraordinary descrip
tion: It is 'of the bulk and thickness of a
pretty large terrier dog, and covered on, the
back and belly with a thick coat of very fine
hair; the head is about the size of that of a
house rabbit, the front teeth in the upper and
flower jaws are nearly an inch and a half long,
and very sharp, the paws are webbed, and the
hind ones are broader than the webbed foot of
a full grown goose. It swims and dives re
markably well, remaining in and under the
water until. recalled by the voice of its owner,
to' whore it is very much attached,,, following
him like a dog. The an knal, which is a fe
in3lev weighs upwards of ten pounds, and its
length from The head to the extremity of the
tail, when extended, measures two f;t seven
"inches.- .
The tail is entirely bare of hair, and very
long and thick, and covered with a scaly sub
stances She is partial to vegetables and fish,
but dislikes every kind of flesh, whether raw
or in &pi epured state. ' In eatiug she rests
on her hind paws, holding the food in her fore
ones. She is also partial to porter and beer,
and has often drank more than she could car
ry. Although so powerful and ferocious look
ing, she is perfectly tame and gentle, and will
suffer handling without the least show of re
sistance or even ill-nature, so that the most
timid may approach her with perfect safety.
A strong attachment subsists between her and
a tine dogbf the cocker species.

CORRECTING A BLUNDER.
Eieutenant O' when a Cadet atAVest
Point, visited the city of .N Y. in company
with a friend, and was paiticularly,.struck with
the City Hall, which ho examined with the
eye of au architectural connoisseur. "Well,
said his friend you seem rather pleased, with
that affair O , what do you think of it?"
"Why I'm thinking by the powers, without
any disrespect to you here at all, that'same
edifice was never built ir this country!"
Such a beautiful bull and so agreeably en
riched with the slightest touch of the brogue
was irresistable, and a smile from his com
panion brought before the eye of the young
Irishman the error he had made.
"Och," he exclaimed in his hurry to cor
rect himself, "I didn't mane that at all. I
intended to have said but spoko without think
ing, that the man that built it was never in
this country." - . . '
The Crops in Europe. Tho prospect of
the crops generally speaking- in all parts of
Europe is favorable. The London Mark
Lauet Express, which has the most copious
correspondence upon this subject, has good
accounts from the South of Europe. The
weather had been fine in Itally, and reaping
was neariy over. The grain market was dull
in the Baltic ports. The weather had been
wet, and the crops rather backward, which
gave a firmness to those markets, however,
that did not exist elsewheje. In England,
Ireland, and Scotland, it was difficultftqiform
a positive opinion of the state of the crops,
for the wet weather, particularly in the North
of England, was likely to make the harvest
late, and therefore precarious. Statements
from Ireland and Scotland were, hgweverfa

time considerable grain is imported and the
market remains so" firm that American flour
is nnoted at 35 to 36s.and which with the
duty (8s. 2d.) can be exported now to some
advantage.
The Chartists. The disturbances at
Birmingham, according to the opinion of , the
Editor of the Courier arid Enquirer, who has
returned from England in the British Queen,
are very easily managed, as the Chartists are
now organized, but -that gentleman inus- ex
presses himself on the subject. x

The Observer, as usual, is filled witha
precious sample of all the decency ,'"and all the
talents. It is only to shew that Edmund De
berry has not only refused to furnish the peo
ple with information as to his votes in Con
gress, and to charge that. Ke has purposely
evaded a full and fair exposure of his course
as a member of Congress; but when we get
the Journals, and prove jy the records, that
u i.: ir : - .u. - i
na li in is j, ia gumy ui me exiravagauce, lie
charxres uoon the Administration, to call forth
a publication from the Observer, as reckless
as it is unfounded. We cannot consent to em
ploy the terms of abuse and violence used by the
Observer, but lest one man may be deceived
by the unwarranted assertions of that, print,
we will take occasion to remark on such mat
ters as we deem worth v of comment. The
Observer says: "let the plain and candid read
er bear in mind, that it is but three days till
fne election comes on, that Mr. Deberry is
probably a hundred miles off, and that the ut
most care is used to keep this document from
the hands of his friends, till the morning of
election, wheh,-wc are kindly told, that we shall
have as manv conies as we desire." Now,
reader, who is affected by the circulation of
the Extra Carolinian? Edmund Deberry.
Howl By the publication of his votes in
Congress. Is there any thing wrong in this?
Is it Villianous, is it fraudulent, "plain and
candid reader?" Mr. Deberry, himself, has
had ample opportunity to do this. Ho has
been called on, time after time', day after day;'
and even to this day, two days before tie elec
tion, he has failed to let the people of his D s
trict know how he voted as a member of Con-
gngss. jjet not nis menus aeuy mis, ne aa-
mitsr in his letter, dated L.awreuceville, July
ISth, 139, that his opponent, Mr. Morris,
charged him at Cumberland Court m June,
with voting for a large amount of the appro
priations for 1S38, that he again charged him
at Montgomery in July, again at Anson in
July, again at Richmond in July, (court be
gan the 15th of July 1339;) and yet he pub
lishes no account of his votes, to inform the
people but is silent as the grave. But, Mr.
Deberry writes a letter, (no doubt designed
for publication,) dated ISth July, and yet
withholdshis votes from the people ot nis jjis-
trict, whtch letjr, has not only been, publish
ed in the Observer, but likewise appended a to
circular, signed 'Many IVhigs.' Now, if Mr.
Deberry is the high minded, honorable man,
his partizans claim him to be, why has he de
signedly kept the people m the dark about his
votes in Congres? Would not a high minded,
honorable man, have invited scrutiny into his
official conduct? "plain and candid reader,"
answer this to your own conscience. Mr. De
berry cannot deny he had the Journals, Jar tho ;
left in Washington city, last winter, it seens
he had them at Richmond Court, and gave
them a critical examination, (Monday even-
in, 15th July, see his letter of the 18th of

the reason of his sileuce. It may be, mat ne t
like the Editor of tke Observer, supposed his,
was the only copy of the Journal in the district,
and it would be more convenient to keep dark
as to his votes, than by publishing a state
ment, convict himself before his constitu
ents, of charging that as a crime against oth
ers, which he -was guilty of himself. But ifls
kcpt back till three days before the eteetion,
Mr. Deberry is probably 100 miles e? and
the Editor of the - Observer could not get a
sight of it." Now, "plain and candid reader,"
"see how a plaintale will put hint down."
It was our wish and earnest desire to have
printed the Extra as early as possible, to do
this, we availed ovrselves of every aid, r.iechan

This was the reasoo that delaj tbitsftonse

buted throughout the town, early on Tuesday

Wednesday. A copy was directed to be left
at the Observer office; no subscriber in town
received a copy sooner. The distant coun
ties were to be first served. Again, the Ob
server complains of- the desecration ' ; of ; the

circular to distant counties; certainly the
course of the editor," has been- so characteris-
ic of that tnee and Jowly spirit that charity
and forbearance, that single devotedness to
the requirements of a pure and holy religion,
as admirably to fit him for the office of a mor
al censor. His present number proves him
to be the very exemplar of piety. "Physician,
heal thyself," is a command no les3 impera
tive than it is rational. We have no doubt,
that the true reason of the violence, scurrillity
and recklessness of - tho Observer this week,
arises from the fact, that Edmund Deberry has
been detected and exposed by a "Jl Freeman,"
in an attempt to deceive the. people of this
District, about his votes in
Conre'as.
It is
the publication of the truth tharhas infuriated
the Observer.
Mr. Edmund Deberry arrived here as by
instinct on Tuesday, and addressed the peo
ple, in which he took special pains to abuse
Dr. Montgomery and others', and denounced
the statements in-the-Extra Carolinian. - He
was replied to by David Rerd Esq. in a mas
terly and conclusive manner, who not only
proved by reference to the pages of the Jour
nal that Dr. Montgomery's references were
right, but also that every reference in the
Extra to the Journal was trua. Mr. Debcr
ry as usual kept dark about his votes On the
passage of the appropriation bills but When
called on by Mr. Reid refused to say how he
voted. This is the man vho "aspires to ren-
resent freemen. Will they vote for a man
who covers up his acts and hides them from
public view?

Dear Sin Your letter has been received.
You ask for more information' relative to the
votes and conduct of Mr. Deberry, when in
Congress, and refer to a letter I wrote Mr.
Holmes last month, which, you state, you-have
O T " f J TliT ?
seen, etc. x am very sorry our iriena iu orris
has read the letter publicly. He, ought to
have had more sense. . It was never intended
to be thus read, but on the contrary, slyly and
secretly. Then it would have worked won
ders, and could not have been contradicted.
am afraid now, Deberry will produce his
journals, and upset the whole of it. However
tins may be, don't give up: but continue to
charge him with having voted tor ail the appro
priations, except one, of about a million and a
quarter. If you assert with confidence, some
will be gulled, and you will gain their votes,
which is all that we want, li Deberry snouid
not have his journals, you will then have ' a
decided advantage over him, which you must
not fail, to improve. You know that all the
appropriation, bills are settled generaly4n
"Committee of the Whole," where they are
fullv debated, compromised and placed in
that shape by the majority, which insures their
final passage alter they are reponea ic me
House, where they are very seldom further de
bated; consequently, they pass by a silent vote.
Well, I advise, mat it uenerry snouiu uaior-
tunately have his journals, make him show
where his name ts recoraea against any 01
them, and insist that the journals ought to
show if he did oppose -any ot tnem: mis ot
course they will not do, for the reason already
given.
It is a devilish good plan, ana somemiug
like the one I adopted when I broke Barriuger
down in this district. I took the journals,
ovent to the voters' houses, showed them where
r. . - i i i i , -a! a
the appropriation Dins naa passea wuuoui any
recorded opposition, charged isarringer wna
lhaving voted for them, and when I found any
obnoxious bill had passed in his absence
from the House, I would read the nays, and
of course, not fi nding his name among them,
charge thajl he had voted tor it: and in mis
way 4 gained a great many votes. I charge
him, too, with having voted for all the necessary
appropriations of Government, and showed
hia votes for thfrh. without further, explana
tions: and as'theylaaturally appear very large
r v .i a c
to, rmr Hark wondsmen. I macie me raosi i
TT conseauence -was, I was elected, and
down he went, and so will any hypocrite well-
managed.
I am to HSve the hottest sort of opposition
but think J will succeed by a diminshed ma
jority. Wishing our: friend Morris every
success, ..
in a letter of a friend,' a column cut from the
Register ot your city, containing which pur
ports to be a copy of a letter addressed to me
by Dr. Montgomery, of Orrange.-- Knowing
this alleged copy to be" a base forgery, got up
by some miscreant on the eve of the election
to defeat Dr. Montgomery, I feel it my duty
Put maelf to some trouble to furnish you
with a correct copy. . As 1 must hurry off my
boy some 20 or 30 miles, in order to get this
letter on a route that" will take it to you in time
to enable you to counteract to some extent,
the effects of this vile forgery. I have no
time to make any. comments on it whatever.

C-Zj Montgomery's Letter.? V
: . Albright, JV' .C. June 23, 1S39.
JVIy Dear Siri-Yoms of the 16th, came
safe to hand. I regret to learn that my letter
to Mr. Holmes,- has gotten into a channel
that may bring my name before the public. '
Such was not my intention, and I hope my
name maj be still kept back. I referred - to
documents, journals, &c, which could be had,
and my' statements will be found, errors ex
cepted, to be correct, I have this rnail sent a
statement of references, and a journal of the
House for the Second Session of 25th Con
gress, when the appropriations I mentioned
were made with those at the extra called Ses
sion for the support of Government for 183S.
I have requested the publication of the appro
priations, and the page inthe journals show
ing their final passage, ; with the number of
the bills, so that there can be no mistake
about them, call on the whigs who have jour
nals" to turn to their vctcs, and show that they
voted against these measures ofextravagance,
they complain of. Your members is only re
corded as voting against one bill for the "year
1838. No 394 page on House journal 1239,
the Harbor; bill containing 1,535,008,53 out
of the 38 millions appropriated for thirty eight,
he will not deny this. ; If he does demand his
journal, and call for his votes. If he refuses
to show them, well, when you get the Stan
dard, containing the statement sent, you will
have all you want; and if. you use it vith half
the industry they fight us, all will be well.
When I had the contest with Barringer, he
relied mainly on the increase of. expenditures,
and defended his position as ably as any man.
I got the Journals examined, and -marked his
votes, had them ready, and then charged him
with being guilty of the very foul acts he charg
ed on us and demand his journal, 8c he retus
ed to show it. I then made him deny it again
and then turned to his votes, and read his
name on record for nearly all he complained
of; and down he went, and so aviII any hypo
crit well managed.
Yours truly, - "

ADDRESS.
Person County, Aug. 1, 1839.
To myFelloio Citizens of the Eight Congres
sional. District:
1 have just received an Extra of the Raleigh
Register, in -which I find a Letter purporting
io ue in -suDsiance, it not a literal transcript"
of one written by myself.
: I here pronounce, in the most positive
terms, the statement to be FALSE. I have
written no such Letters as that published by
Mc Gales, either in fact or in substance.; I
do not keep copies of ray Letters, and I hae
no other means now, situated as I am, at this
hour, in a remote corner of the District, than
to meet the charge as I do meet it, with the
LIE direct. . -
I should be astonished at this " attempt of
Mr Gales to impose upon the people, but for
the" fact, that he has . heretofore published a
Letter, accusing me of giving a vote - that I
never did give,' and after proving to him. from
the Journals, that the charge was untrue, he
has not this day retracted it.
So' far from doing me justice in that- parti
cular, he adds injury, and falsehood to false
hood and kindly promises, after the Election,
to correct his "errors."
Fellow Citizens! I call upon you to do me
justice. I have it not now in ray power to
enforce this matter as it ouht to be enforced
but I pledge myself for the truth of the de
- I 1 1 1 .1 , W
uiai x now maKe, ana mai i win, nt a proper
time, satisfy you of this foul attempt to impose
upon you ana injure me, uy as base a talse
hood as was ever uttered.

remain,
Your ob t.
serv't. &c.
We publish the above thiw early, tbiDr.
Montgomery or his 1 friends may, if hey
; We resrret we were not in possession of
the above letters sooner, but we give them to
the peple as early as we can, and ask every
reader to compare Dr. . Montgomery's letter
with the alledged copy printed in the Raleigh
Register. The letter in the Register, makes
Dr. Montgomery says, "I am afraid now
Deberry will produceJiis Journals, and upset
the whole of it". The Dr. in his own letter
says, call on the Whigs who have Journals
and turn to their votes &c, that he Deberry
is only recorded as voting against one -bill,
for the year 1838, the Harbor bill &c., giving
the number of the bill and page on the Jour
nal. Does this look like wishing" to avoid
Lthe Journals. No! It is the Journals upon
which Dr. Montgomery relies for the truth of j
what he says. Again the doctor has those'
very references contained in his letters to Mr.
Holmes, printed in the Standard, and tells
Mr. Leak to get them. And again, do you
see any thing in the Dr.'s letter about gulling
the people, no, just the reverse. But the Re
gister, makes him say to Mr. Leak, "If
you assert with confidence, some will be gul-
ed, and you will gain their votes which is all
that we want.' Again the Register makes the
Dr. say, If Deberry should not have his Jour
nals, you will then have a decided advantage
over him. Pray who is the keeper of Mr.
Deberry 's Journals.. But look at the Dr.'s
etter, is- there any such language there, no.
Again the Register makes the Dr. say, you
now that all the appropriation bills are settled
generally in committee of the whole, when they
are fully debated, compromised, and placed in
that shape by the majority which insures them
final passage after they are reported to the
House when they are very seldom further de
bated, consequently they pass by a silent vote.'
But look at the Dr.'s letter and you find no
such sentence there. Again the Dr. shews
in his letter, that in his contest with Barringer
he relied upon the Journals alone, that Bar
ringer refused to shew them, and denied' his
votes. But the Dr. shewed hil votes recor
ded for nearly alljie complained of, and down
he went, and so we would say of any man
who either refuses to shew his Journals, or
defies his votes. The alledged copy in the
ELECTION . RETURNS DEMOCRATIC
TRIUMPH.
We learn on the authority of the Raleigh
Standard, and also pn the authority of sev
eral gentlemen, who have come through the
District since the Election. That the Hon.
Jesse A. Bynum has been elected in the Hal
ifax District, by a majority of upwards of
300 votes. And also, that thf Vu. Charles
Shepherd has been elected" i the Newburn
District, by a majority of jp wards of 800
votes. '
We have no certain information from the
Warren District, where Hawkins and Hil
liard both Democrats are running. Judging1
from the returns received, the contest will be
a close one." '

Since our circular advises of lCth ult. bu
siness has been very limited in both import:)
and exports, although we can .state no accu
mulation of stocks of the former, still there is
no particular scarcity, of any article of first ne
cessity, and only those, commodities coming
under the influence of the Custom House de
cree mentioned in our last have improved.
The old Coffee crop is drawing to' its close,'
and the supplies' of the new, arrive 'sparingly.
A good article has ' been and' c'ontiues to be
scarce at high . prices. Exchange since our
last lias been done at 30 a 31 d, this rise may
be attributed to the remitting Houses holding
back their funds m - expectation of a further
