The Fayct teville Independent Light Infantry Company celebrated its sixty-lirst anniversary on Wednesday last, by target-firing and dinner, We could not make it convenient to be present, but understand everything passed off pleasantly. The ranks wore full, and the Company made a better, appearance than we have seen it make ifor some time before a gratifying indication of prosperity. Private Henry L. Erambert and Serg't Jas. 31. Ferguson made the best average shots, each being 5 !- inches from the centre. Each one look an extra fire at the target for the purpose of deciding who should take the prize, a silver cup, when Mr Erambert won. It was present ed by Major Arch'd McLean in a few appro priate remarks. The best single shots were made by Serg't Jas. M. Vaim and Private McLean another tie each being 1 of an inch from the centre. The second best single shots were also tied. ' We understand that the very competent and popular commandant of the Company, Major A. M.

The Washington corres pondent of the New York Journal of Commerce says of President Pierce: "His civil achievements since his accession Fayetteville, Aug. 16, 1854. Gentlemen: I am in receipt of your communi cation of the 14th, in which you inform me tuat vou have been appointed a committee by the Commissioners mid by the citizens of the town of Fayetteville to tender me a publie dinner.

We published a call a few weeks ago for a Convention to assemble iu Centre, Stanly county, on Saturday the 19th day of September, to take into consideration the subject of connecting the Atlantic seaports of North Carolina by railway communication. We presume the citizens of Fayetteville will hold a meeting before that time and appoint delegates. Low Freights. The Winnsboro' (S. C.) Ilegister says that a correspondent of the Col umbia.

The Regis ter advises a reduction of the tanh oi Ireight line. on the Charlotte Hoad.

Hoke, Columbus Mills, Wm. Eaton, Win. II. Thomas, J. G. Shepherd, and others, men who are fully competent to originate and carry out "such measures of publie policy as shall redound to the glory and prosperity of the commonwealth;" and although they may not have had opportunities, like some of those mentioned by the Star, to display their talents, nevertheless they possess theni and are equally as capable for just and wise legislation. Noumal College. A writer in the Observer who attended the late commencement of this Institution, states that it is in a flourishing con dition. During the last year there were 195 students in attendance, and there would have been a larger number had there been room. This difficulty will soon be obviated as the new col lege edifice is nearly completed and several large boarding houses arc in course of construc tion. Rev. B. Craven is President of the Col lege, and is said to be a gentleman of ability and energy. The address of Bobert P. Dick, V.t is siioken of iu commendable terms.

The Massachusetts Whig State Convention, recently assembled, nominated Mr Washburn for Governor, Wm. C. Pluukett for Lieut. Governor, and passed resolutions condemning the passage of the Ne braska bill; affirming that the whigs of Massa my acknowledgements for the kind manner in which you have executed their wishes. I am, with high respect, yours, te., J. C. DOBBIN. Messrs John T. Gilmore, Jno. Winslow, and others, Committee. CUngnian's District. A great bugaboo (says the Wilmington Journal) has been made over the Eighth Dis trict, being that represented by Hon. Thos. chusetts are unalterably opposed to the extension I L. Clingman, and to some mysterious interfer of slavery over one foot of territory now free; that the)r oppose the admission of any new State unless slavery be prohibited; that unless the fugitive slave law is so amended as to se cure trial by jury, they will go for its repeal ; and as a matter of course they denounce the Administration of President I'ierce in no very polite terms. Nothing better could be expected from these Massachusetts abolition whigs. It is said that Gen. Scott is again to be brought forward as a candidate for the Pre sidency in 1S5(), with Mr Bell, of Tennessee, for Yice President. AVe suppose the fact that Mr Bell opposed the passage of the Nebraska bill would make him popular with the northern factionists. The N. Y. Herald appears to favor this ticket. JS? A new tow boat, the " Duncan Mc Ijaurin," was launched from our wharves on Tuesday evening last. She belongs to Orrcll's " ' Letter from Ibe Editor. :i'J 1 Wilmington, Aug. 21, 1854. j-0r the last week I have been in andwbout this place, being unavoidably delayed by busi- neSS. ; Til InoV Jtlor olinnt T 1. o -.

Number one house carpenters obtain two dollars and a quar- Ci'R.x.- It is stated that since Espartero, the Spanish revolutionary leader, has come into of fice, Mr Soule, the American Minister, has no hopes of a favorable settlement of the Cuban question, unless aided by very prompt and de cisive measures on the part of the Government at Washington. He does not believe (says re port) that the Queen can hold her power long in Spain; and further, that no proposition has ever been made to sell Cuba to the IT. States. "This election proves, we fear, that there are about 2000 more democrats than whigs, at this present writing, in North Carolina. On this subject, however, we speak hesitatingly; and if our worthy compeers of the whig press do not think with us, we will hear their reasons, and hold ourselves open to conviction." Rul cish. llcsrialcr. The above is a manly confession, and is true to the letter. And if other whig papers, in stead of abusing Mr Clingman as the cause of the downfall of the whig party in this State, would come out and acknowledge that they were fairly beaten in the late contest, it would evince a much better spirit. We are willing to give Mr Clingman all the credit he is entitled to, but we do not believe that the democratic party is indebted to him for its triumphs in North Carolina. Our principles arc correct, hence their success and approval by the people. ence in that District is attributed the defeat of G eneral Dockery, as was also that of Gen. Scott. To show the fallacy, it is only neces sary to remark that Kerr's majority in the nniinilcs of ClmTinaii's District was ""2.944 'and the majority for Scott in the same District 2, G78, being a difference of only 26G votes in the majority, occasioned by the extremely meagre vote in some strong whig Counties; as a great falling off in the democratic majority in the East has been caused by the small vote in the strong democratic Counties of the East. Again: The majarity for Gen. Dockery is ac tually larger in Clingman's District than that obtained either by Mr Kerr or bv Gen. Scott larger than Mr Kerr's by 170 votes, and larger than Gen. Scott's by 442. It is therefore evi dent that the result of the election is not due to "Clingman's District." It is due to the fact of an actual democratic majority in the State. Gen. Dockery's former District did more to de feat him than any other in the State, if we ex cept that in which Mr Bragg resides. The official vote, when it does come, will show that even the same ratio of gain in Cling mairs District, as Gen Dockery obtained in the rest of the State, would have left him far from any hope of an election. In all these calculations we have omitted the count)' of Watauga, as there is no means of comparison between the present and former votes, that county having heretofore been count ed with Ashe, which is not now in the same ! district. AVe have no wish to detract one iota from the legitimate influence of Mr Clingman, or to refuse him the credit to which he is justly en titled, but we think it time that the erroneous impression about the dependence of the dem ocracy upon his district for success, should be corrected. One half the exertion made by Mr Bragg in the mountains would have produced double the advantage had they been made down in this sectiou. Democratic administra tions of the State, as well as democratic candi dates for Governor, have been altogether too forgetful of the real strongholds of democracy upon the Cape Fear. One half of the effort made to obtain a doubtful advantage in the mountains would have beeu worth a thousand votes in this section Missouri.

The whigs have a majority on joint ballot, which will se cure the election of a whig Senator in place of Hon. A. C. Dodge. Wheat Yield. A writer in the Salisbury Banner gives the result of an experiment with guano on very poor land. Mr J. 11. West cleared five acres of old piny field laud, and after preparing the ground he sowed 7 bushels of wheat, and then sowed broad cast upon the wheat 200 lbs. of guano to the acre, plowing it in with the wheat. The quantity of wheat pro duced was 11G bushels after paying the toll for threshing it. The wheat was worth $11 G,50 cost of production $54,50 leaving a nett repudiated and violated every compromise tha The abolitionists and anti-Nebraska men of New York, recently held a Convention at Saratoga Springs for the purpose of consulting as to the best course of action hereafter. The Convention, so far as exerting any amount of influence is concerned, was a dead failure. Its proceedings were characterized by disgracefa and disorderly conduct on the part of both offi cers aud members. Among the resolutions pas sed by this body of fanatics was the following " llesolved, That the deliberate repudiation by the slave power, on the very first opportuni ty, of the solemn compact iorcea upon our fathers bv its representatives, whereby the ter ritories now known as Nebraska aud Kansas were consecrated forever to freedom, has absol ved us from all compacts or agreements outside of the federal constitution with reference to slavery, and we now take our staud distinctly on the principle that all territory oi the U. & hereafter admitted must come into the Uniou as free States." Look at the impndeuce of these rascals talk ing about the slave power repudiating compacts when the facts prove that they themselves have . . it-r io two dollars and a half per diem. There is at this time not much commercial business 4oinK- Corn can be had to-dav in nuantities to snit at DO cents per bushel. 1 believe there is a good deal of the article in market. Since the glorious result of the election for Gbver,lor and members of the Legislature, speculation has been rife as to who the IT. S. Senators will be. In this connexion I cannot forbear to advert to the absurd suggestion which I hear has been made privately that the desioerats ought to send Hon. Geo. E. Badger back to the U. S. Senate. What did we fight the battle for if our adversaries are to reap the reward of the victory. The election of Mr 13adger by a democratic Legislature would come nigS to destroying the party in North Carolina ; fof what encouragement would democrats have in going to the polls if by so doing they contri bute to the success of whig measures by placing whigs in power? But the idea of a democratic Legislature sending such a thorough whig as Mr Badger is to the Senate, is so absurd that it is almost useless to diseant upon it. The no tion that there is now no difference between political parties is a favorite one with our whig friends after an eleclit,n which has turned ovt fa vorably to the democrats. Hut before the elec tion we hear of nothing of the sort. The fact is that the principles which actuate the whig and the democratic parties are as wide asunder as the east and the west. Only notice the bit terness with which our public men in high places have been assailed. There never was a Presi dent who tried harder to do perfect, justice to the South than President Pierce. And yet he has been denounced and ridiculed by whig pa pers at the South, and every attempt has been made to lessen him in public estimation. Just so with Senator Doifglass, who, with amoral courage which his enemies would do well to emulate, staked his political existence on the Nebraska bill. I have never seen in any whig journal one word of encouragement or approba tion of the course of Mr Douglass and the Ad ministration on this vital question. The fact that its leading supporters were democrats was sufficient to reuder it odious in whig estimation. Just so with Free Suffrage. The fact that Gov. Iteid first started that great and important measure of constitutional reform, was quite suf ficent to place the then whig candidate for Governor (Mr Manly) in a position of hostility towards it, and has ever since prevented Whig State Conventions from expressing any favor towards it. " But to return to the Senatorship. I find Judge HufBn a good deal spoken of in this sec tion. The public sentiment (of the democrats) seems at least to be settled on one thing, viz: that one of the Senatorships is due Hon. Sec'y of the Navy, if he will accept it, and I have beeu frequently asked the question whether he would accept it. With Mr Dobbin from the East, and Judge Ruffin, or Gov. Ileid, or Judge Illis, from the West, both sections and the whole State would be well represented in the Senate. The democrats about here feel a good deal of interest in the question whether Col. Person will accept the Judgeship lately tendered him. 'hat his appointment ought to and will give almost universal satisfaction, all parties admit. 5ut on the other hand he will be greatly missed. from the next 3Iouse of Commons, and the troubles of another election in this county will lave to be encountered. The news has reached here that Judge Saun ders, too, has resigned. Do the Judgeships go a beggiug? This question suggests some reflec tion as to whether our public officers are snfti- ceutly well paid. For my own part I think that the Governor's salarv ought to be raised to four thousand dollars per annum. The Judges of the Superior and Supreme Courts ought to receive at least three thousand dollars jer annum, and many other salaries ought to be increased. It is in vain to expect first class men to fill our public offices, unless we renumer- ate them for the pecuniary sacrifice they neces sarily make in accepting those offices. North Carolina has too long pursued a parsimonious and unenlightened policy with regard to the ex penditure of money. Our legislators should recollect that "There is that scattereth and yet increaseth; and there is that withholdeth more than is meet; but it tendeth to poverty." So says the wise man, and it is a just saying. I find here a good deal of feeling in favor of the railroad from Fayetteville to Salisbury. It is obviously the policy of the two towns to unite in building that great work. Let past animosities be buried, and let the two unite in that and in a road from Fayetteville to Wil mington, should the exigencies of trade and travel require it. Let contentions be forgotten and let us work together. By so doing both towns will be benefitted. It. K. B. Two Weeks Later from California. - Great Fire at Marysville The Democratic J" Convention. New Orleans, Aug. 22. The steamship United States has arrived at this port from 'Aspinwall with the San Francisco mails of the Tst Of August. - The steamship George Law had sailed before the United States left for New York, with a large number of passengers, and one million of dollars in gold on freight.

The loss is estimated at $300,000, The news from the mining districts continues to be of the most favorable character. Business of nearly every kind was dull, and prices generally were lower. 1 he gold excitement in Oregon was on the increase, as further discoveries had been made.

Steamer James 11. Guist. We noticed an apparently new steamer passing Market-street ; this morning, but upon a closer inspection she proved to be an old friend, under a new name, and a considerable improved appearance. In other words, it was the steamer "Douglass" of Banks' Line, thoroughly repaired and changed in appearance. 3Ier name has been changed, we understand, by act of Congress, and she is now named the James li. Grist in compliment to our townsman, who is shrewdly suspected to be somewhat Whiggish in in his principles. The Grist appears to be a first-rate freight boat, and will run regularly between Fayette ville and this Port. We wish her owners, John & James Banks, great success. IF. Herald. Fearful Accident at Jioslon. Several Lires Jcst. I?osfon, Aug. 22. Tilden's large granite block on Broad street fell down this evening with a tremendous crash. The stores are one vast, smouldering, smoking wreck ; the whole is in complete ruins. Several persons were kil led. Two bodies have been recovered. The ruins are now on fire. The cause of this terri ble accident is supposed to be the imperfect foundations of the buildings. The following piece shows that the hatred against Ward of Ky., has not much abated: Tub Brand of Cain. The editor of the Philadelphia Courier says : While at the "Burning Springs" near Nia gara, a few days ago, we were requested to Lenter the names of our party in the Visitor's Register, and while complying, we observed that the registry had been suspended at about two-thirds down the left hand page, and t hen continued at the top of the right. On seeking the cause, we found the last entry as follows : "Matt. F. Ward, Brother and Servant." Of course, the name had cast a blight upon the page forever; no honest man would add his name beneath that of the Cain-branded fugitive, but underneath was written, as by the hand of some recording angel, or crime-pursuing Nemc- SotIck t6 debtors. , Tlio" indebted to Bryan & Yates for subscription. jib work, or advertising, are requested to settle u by the first of October; Aujrust 26, lsai; ilAMSEY & BBO., OKXEit-AL.
