NORTH CAROLINA ELECTION.
The Washington correspondent of the
Charleston Standard, wrote thus on the
day before the -election :
" Tl e result is supposed to be indicative
truthfully, of the character of the Presi
dentiaPcorilest, which has hardly opened
as yet.. Bulb Whigs and Democrats agree
that if Iteid is re-elected, Scott will
hardly kick, and that if Kerr succeeds,
the strtiijjtre will ltsevera.-4)ne.--,Tlie
Scott managers, who, with the exception
of Mr Stanly of North Carolina, his col
league, Mangum, and Gov. Jones of Ten
nessee, are exclusively Northern Seward -ite
Abolitionists, seem to be confident of
success- Thev have franked a million of
pamphlets, &c, into the State, and have
furnished at least $100,000 to be used up
on the voters of North Carolina. The
Democrats of Congress from that State,
are equally sanguine. One at a distance
cannot realize how essentially this Presi
dential election is a pure sectional contest.
At Washington alone, it is perceptible,
beyond dental, that it is a struggle for the
preservation ol Southern rights under the
Constitution. The determination of more
than a majority of the Southern Y hi
meinbers, not to countenance the election
of Scott, grows out of this fact. These
Southern men see that if Pierce triumphs.
Southern rights and the strict construction
on which the preservation of those rights
depends, will be strengthened under and
in the Government ; and that, if, on the
other haad, Scott shad triumph, Seward,
Truman Smith, Fitz Henry Warren, and
Tom Ewing, will be the Government for
the next four years."
Post Offices in North Carolina
A new PostOtlice has been established at
Powhatan, Union county, King C. Sim
mons, P. M.
Falling Mill, Moore county, has been
discontinued. The chief reason for the
discontinuance of Post Offices, is the fail
ure of the Postmasters to make returns,
but they are always re established when a
proper person can be found to fill the office.
Free Soil Conventions. The Free
Soil State Convention of Pennsylvania as
sembled at Pittsburg on the 10th inst.
About 200 persons were present, repre
senting 20 counties and the citv of Phila
delphia A platform of principles was
adopted in the afternoon, the a in of which
is the abolition of slavery and repudiation
of the compromise. Both the whig and
democratic parties are denounced, as hav
ing "bowed the knee to the dark spirit of
slavery. "
The National Free Soil Convention
assembled at 10 o'clock on the 11th. Two
thousand persons were present at the
Masonic Hall. The States represented
were New Hampshire, Maine, Massachu
setts, Connecticut, Khode Island, Ver
mont, New York, Delaware, Maryland,
Pennylvania, Ohio, Michigan, Wiscon
sin, Indiana, Illinois. Iowa. Virginia,
Kentucky, and Missouri. J. P. Hale was
nominated for President.
Fred. Douglass was in the meeting and
treated with much consideration. He
made a speech. The people of Pittsburg
took but little note of the affair
.Mr Hale, previous to the metinz of the Con
vention, wrote a letttr declining the nomination.
Our minds are like ill-hung vehicles ;
when they have little to carry they raise a
prodigious clatter: when heavily laden
they neither creak nor crumble.

13rutl; Muhder in Georgia. We
have already stated that James Houston,
a respectable young planter near Darien,
Ga., had been murdered by five of his
felaves,who were subsequently arrested,
made a coulession, tried by the populace
and -sentenced to be hung on the 26th
inst. A letter in the Boston Traveller
has the following particulars of the murder:-;
, -
On thejday of the murder, he had one
of the women whinned for misconduct.
About dark he laid down to sleep. The
men tooklthis opportunity, and seized
him, stripped him, tied his hands behind
him, and fastened him to a tree, with a
chain about his neck the woman holding
a light during the whole time. They then,
with a cow-skin, inflicted upon him a
hundred lashes, he begging for his life,
ami the woman crying out to them 4give
him more' while seven other women be
longing td the same plantation, were on
their knees pleadng for his life.
They also beat him with a "paddle,"
cutting his head and face dreadfully.
Exhausted by their exertions, they left
their victim for several hours in this con
dition. At midnight they returned to
their murderous work, and finished him
with three blows of an axe upon the head.
They then buried him in a marsh, turn
ing the boat bottom-side up, and setting
his hat floating down the river, to create
an impression that he was drowned; and
such, for several days, was supposed ti
be the case.
Mr Houston was unmarried, belonged
to one of the best families in the Stale,
and was the only white person on the
island where he was murdered- A report

since been hung by the infuriated populace.
Grnham for the Senate We under
stand that the Whigs, being now convinc
ed that their candidates stand no chance
in November next, and beginning to think
that our divisions have enabled them to
securs the Legislature, already talk of
sending Mr Graham to the the United
States Senate. As for Gen. Scott, he has
secured his retreat by still holding on to
his lucrative appointment. IPiluunglon
Journal.
The whig party will not have an oppor
tunity to make Wm A Graham, John Kerr,
or any other whig. IT. S. Senator at the
next.session of the Legislature. So they
need not bother themselves about it any
longer.
The American Expedition to Japan.
We find the following in the Amsterdam
Houdelsblad of the 18th :
We learn from a positive source, that
the government of the United States of
America has abandoned its project of an
expedition against Japan. It has preferr
ed invoking the mediation of the Dutcli
government. We are also assured that
the Dutch government, which, in 1846,
made overtures to the Emperor of Japan,
in the interest of the whale of Kuropean
cons merce, has accepted this mission, and
we have no doubt of its using every eflort
to accomplish it successfully.
Consumption Two or three years ago,
experiments were made by members of the
London Faculty of physicians in different
hospitals, for the cure of diseases of the
tvn "by breathing warm, medicated
vapors. I he success of the experiments
were so gratifying that an institutian the
Brompton Hospital- for the cure of bron
chitis and consumption, was immediately
established ; and so favorable has bee'i
the result of the treatment, that the num
ber of patients admitted during the year
is between fwb and three thousand ;"and
the hospital report shows that fill seventy
five in every one hundred have been com
pletely cared.
Accident on' tht" Railroad. We learn
that the mail train coming down this morn
ing, met with an accident while passing
the trestle work about seven miles above
Teachey's depot, occasioned by the break
ing of oue of the wheels of the hindmost
passenger car, throwing the car, in some
measure, off the trestle-work, and knock-
ing the latter completely down. 1 he Iront
car was nearly off the trestle, and escaped
with but little injury ; the hind car is
pretty much used up. Mr Crone, the
Superintendent, was badly bruised ; one
negro man injured ; a negro woman in the
same car escaped unhurt- The passsen
gers. who were all in the front car, came
down with the engine and baggage car.
iione ot them sustained any injury.

Mr Lannman's Book of Travels fur

of the warm Springs of North Carolina:
. Thee springs are thirty-six miles
frooi -Aslievillc, and within sis of the

theui, the" largest being covered with a
house, and divided in two equal apart
ment, either one of which U sufficiently
large to allow of a swim. r'rhe tempera

margin of the French Broad; the water
is clear as crystal, and so heavy that even
a child may be thrown into it with little
danger of being drowned. As a beverase,
the water is quite palatable, and it is said
that some people can drink a number of
quarts per day, and yet experience none
but beneficial effects. The diseases which
it is said to cure are palsy, rheumatism
and cutaneous affections. The Warm
Springs are annually visited by a large,
number of fashionable and sickly people,
from all the Southern States, and the pio
prietor has comfortable accommodations
for two hundred and fifty people. His
principal building is of brick, and the
ball-room is 230 feet long. Music, danc
ing, flirting, riding, bathing, fishing,
scenery-hunting, bowing and reading, are
all practiced hereto an unlimited extent;
but, what is more exciting than all these
pleasures Dut together, is the rare sport
of deer-hunting. "
North Carolina. For the past few
davs the eyes of the political woild have
been turned towards North Carolina, a
State that has been for years wedded to
Federalism.
We are informed that no effort on the
part of the Whigs, was spared to carry
their ticket in- this State. Stanley and
others, favorable to Scott, flooded the State
vvitik lieing documents about Frank Pierce's
abolitionism, even endorsing the charge
with their own signatures.
Mr Graham, the Whig candidate for
Vice, lent all his personal influence.
Federal office holders left their posts at
Washington loaded with Whig documents
and money to inlluence the election. On
this election the friends of Scbft all over
the-Ur.ion placed their hope : iJtsi if oar
letters and private despatches arc correct,
their efforts have proved abortive and their
hopes are in vam The whig party, with
the rallying cry of"-;- Scott ami Graham"
have been defeated at Graham's home.
How mortifying? how crushing to those
sanguine hearts that beat high with Whig
hopes Now will come a desperate strug
gle on the part of our opponents, but it
will be as the last throes of a dying man.
Ph iludelph ia Penn syl vanian.
The brave Marshal Kxcelmans. one of
the Kmperor Napoleon's Generals, was
i killed lately bv a fall from his horse.
Had tliis distinguished veteran been an
American Democrat, and met with this
fatal accident on the battlefield, the Scott
Whigs most of them carpet knights on
the peace establishment would have de
nounced him as a coward. The French
papers however speak of the deceased
Marshal, in terms of the highest eulogy,
and do nut appear to look upon hi n as at
all disgraced by the accident which' ter
minated his life.

A Dkspkhate Fight
with a Black
Beau. The Portland
following account of a
Argus contains the
bear
light, which
transpired in Andover,
Oxford county, Maine,
North Surplus,
on the 22d ult :
As Krastus Bean, a young man ol 0
years, wasJtaying in his'field, accompan
ied by a boy of 12, named Dunn, he look
ed up and saw near him a large black bear
ol the whttefaced breed, (the
ot the black variety. Ita
gun with him to shoot
it up and fired at the
effect, as the bear :
close upon him. Be
loading his gun in
just as he had got his cha
t . .
Laugiii against a twig ami
wards and bruin leaned unon
His situation now was a frih
-
but his coiilness did not forsake him
he immediately fired again, but with
visible effect The bear at once went
work, seizing his left arm, biting through
it and lacerating it severely. Whflo
thus amusing himself, he was tearing with
his fore paws the clothes and scratching
the flesh on the young man's breast. Hav ing
dropped his arm, he opened his huge
mouth to make a pounce at his face. Then
it was that the young man made the dash
that saved his life. As the bear opened
his jawt?, Bean thrust his lacerated arm
down the brute's throat, as far as desper
ation would enable him. There he had
him. The bear could neither retreat nor
advance, though the position of the beseig
cd was anything but agreable on so warm
a day as Thursday last.
Bean now called upon the lad to come
and take from his pocket a jack knife and
open it. The boy was a lilting companion
for this brave young man. He marched
up to the wok boldly. But befoie hi;
could get at the pocket he had to crowd
the bear's head over a little to get at it
the beast meantime not at all easy with
such a huge mouthful in his throat. Hav
inggot the knife, Bean with hi untrameled
hand, cut the bear's throat from ear to ear
killing him stone dead while he lay on his
body! He then threw the beast off. noti
fied his friends, had his wounds dressed,
and is now comfortable. It was judged
the bear weighed nearly four hundred
pounds.' One of his paws which our in
formant saw, weighed two pounds eleven
ounces.
Call not that man wretched who, what
