THE NORTH CAROLINIAN, FAYETTE VILLE, N. C FAYETTEVILLE, N. C. Siitiirdny, October 2$, 1854. FfvcttevHle Fem.'c Hljrh School. The building: designed for the use of this In stitution is rapidly appronching completion, and when finished will be an ornament to the town. It is situated half way between the Market House and foot of Ilaymount, on Hay street, directly opposite the Methodist E. Church, and is 80 by 50 feet, three stories high, sur mounted by a large dome, octagon form, con taining six windows. We understand the building committee select ed the plan of this edifice from some T or 8 designs both on account of the economy of con struction and the amount of space covered by so small a qnantitj' of wall, there being no less than 4,131 square feet enclosed by 2G4 of wall. The same economy used in brick work is follow ed out in the wood-work, equal strength being attained by a combination of light timbers in stead of the heavy, cumbersome material fre quently used in structures. The interior arrangement is adapted to the comfort and" health of the inmates, all the rooms having good ventilation. The windows design ed to be used are the French sash, with tran som lights above turning on pivots, by which means the foul atmosphere generated in crowd ed recitation rooms passes off without the in mates being exposed to a cold under-current of air. There will be three large rooms for the use of the principal and family; a large chapel 47 by fio feet for the elementary department; six recitation Tooms; four music rooms; besides large airy dormitories for the teachers and about sixty pupils. The -style of architecture used is the Tonic. It is the intcnt'on of the Trustees to secure n faculty inferior to nmp hi the State, and the Institution will afford omple opportunities to younir Hdies in this and the surrounding coun ties to obtain a finished education. Later frcm Europe. Arrival of the Washington The Bovibardment Commenced. The steamer Washington, from Bremen via Southampton, with Liverpool and London dates to the 11th instant, four days later than the advices per steamer Africa, arrived off Sandy Hook on Tuesday last. From the Seat of War. No official des patches have been published relative to the battle of Alma The English lost 2000 men i:i the engagem( nt in killed and wounded, and the French 1400. The allieshad changed their plan of operations, and were to attack Sebasto pol from the south, where it was found to be weaker. The base of the operations is Balak lava, where the cavalry and the siege artillery have landed. After the battle of Alma, the Russians burnt all the villages which they passed through in their retreat, In their flight they left G.000 wounded behind them. One thousand Russians, who were escorting a convoy of munitions of war, had been made prisoners, and Prince Menchikoff himself nar rowly escaped capture. The Russians have sunk seven ships of the line at the month of the harbor. The bombard ment of Sebastopol began on the 5th. Marshal St. Arnaud is dead, and Gen. Canrobert is in command of the French army. The Farewell address which St. Arnaud had addressed to the army, dated 2Gth September, had Arrived at Toulon, in which he says : "Overcome by cruel disease, against which he has so long struggled, he is obliged to resign his command." He pays the highest compli ment to his successor, Gen. Canrobert. Liverpool Market, Oct. 10. Cotton market closed dull on the 10th. Flour, western canal, i 33s.; Ohio 35s. Corn declined Is. per quarter j ' A Llberlan Emigrant. A friend has favored us with the perusal of a: letter from Wiley Hatcher, a free man of color, who formerly lived in Cumberland coun ty on the east side of Cape Fear River, aud who some time since emigrated to Liberia with his family. The letter is dated "Monrovia, Liberia, Aug. 21st, 1854."' We take the following ex tracts from it: "Allow me to state to you that the Ameri can Colonization Society has been very benefi cial to me, for although I was nominally free born, yet I never knew what real untramelled liberty was until, by the agents of the society, I was offered a passage to Liberia on the barque "Joseph Maxwell." The society gave me a passage over the ocean, and found me and fami ly, house rent, provisions and medical attend ance during 6 months after our arrival in Libe ria. We have gone through the acclimating fever, have got into business, and can sa, by 18 months' experience, that Liberia is the place for free people of color and no where else but Liberia. Rut, like the inhabitants of every other new country, we have to use industry and economy in order to live independent. If I had a little perseverance when in America I have much more in Africa. "If you ever have any conversation with the free people of color, tell them to move to Li beria if they wish to be happy." The whole letter evinces a considerable de gree of intelligence, and contains earnest ap peals to all free persons of color to go to Liberia. The Washington' Union and the Know Nothings. Whig papers having accused the Washington Union of changing its tone towards the order of Know Nothings since the recent elections at the north, that paper shows that it has not changed in sentiment that when the principles of this new order were first discussed its position was the same as at present, viz: that while democrats were opposed to know-nothing- j ism, they were not unwilling to have the natural- L A T E ST. j ization laws amended if necessary.

Fisher, Fsq., has been elected to the Senate from Rowan and Davie, in place of Mr Lillington, deceased. Mr Fisher's ma jority in Rowan was about one hundred, and he was ahead of Mr Partee at Moeksville, Davie. His election is conceded, though the full returns are not at hand. Mr Fisl icr is a trentleman of fine intellect and most, respectable attainments, and a devot ed friend of internal improvements. He will make a useful and reliable representative. The interest of his constituents will be in every respect safe in his hands. Dead. Mr Rnrt.of S.

The schooner T. C. Worth, which left Wilmington for Philadelphia on the lGth Sept., has not since been heard from. The schr R. G. Whilder picked up on the 11th inst. sixteen barrels turpentine, the marks corresponding with those in the Worth's cargo. On the arrival of Capt. Luce, of the ill-fated steamer Baltic, at his home in Yonkers, N. Y., it is said that it was with great difficulty he . could reach his residence, so great was the feel ing manifested to sec him. Some persons even carried their enthusiasm so far as to attempt to cut the buttons off his coat. Mr Editor: In your last issue you say that you believe goods are brought up the Cape Fear River in steamboats a certain distance "aud are then lightered by pole boats." This. state ment does injustice to the River and the Steam boats on it. The fact is the River is low, but there has not been a boat polled up the River this season; and each line of Boats has some one or more steamers adapted to shallow water, and so far, they have made regular trips between Fayetteville, except in one instance, and then the rudder of oue of the steamers was broken off. 15- Our statement last week was based on infor mation received from a boat agent. But we suppose he alluded to the heavy draft steamers. egg- The Cape Fear Bank has declared a Kcmi-annual dividend ot five per cent., payable at the principal Bank and branches on and af ter the let of JNovemoer. The State Fair. The second Agricultural Fair of North Ca rolina commenced in Raleigh on Tuesday the 17th and closed on Friday evening. The at tendance was very large, the number being esti mated at from ten to fifteen thousand persons. The Standard says there were more than a thou sand entries on the books, one entry frequently including several articles, and a number of man ufactured articles arrived too late to be placed on the lists made out to be examined and pas sed upon by the judges for awarding premiums. On Wednesday and Thursday there were trials of speed in trotting horses in harness, and on Thursday the plowing match took place. The address of the Hon. Kenneth Rayner on Thurs day is spoken of as being a good production, well suited to the occasion. We have not yet received a list of the pre miums awarded. T ., .-,.,,,,i,,.,. ....... :n l.

That they sold the carriage to a gentle man of Raleigh for $700, and that they recei ved orders for half a dozen other vehicles to be made to order. We also learn that Mr A.

No full list of the premiums has been publish ed as yet. Observer. The contest in Illinois (the State represent ed by Hon. Stephen A. Douglass) is raging with unusual warmth administration democrats on one side aud abolitionists, free-soilers, and all other isms, on the other. It is stated that whigs of the Clay and Webster school, seeing the combination of fanatics to defeat the demo cratic candidates, have rallied to their support. We are glad to have it in our power to an nounce that there are some national whigs in Illinois, and that they are giving their support to the men who stand up for southern interests. We have never doubted that there were whigs at the North who were opposed to fanaticism, but they are few and far between. In Illiuois, in one or two instances, whigs have taken the stump for the democratic nominees. The Quincy (III.) Herald, a democratic pa per, announces Col. Richardson as a caudidate for Congress in the following manner: "For Congress, William A. Richardson he voted for the Nebraska bill he voted for the fugitive slave law and, mark well, -he stands pledged to oppose the repeal of either of these laws! the people of the fifth congressional dis trict will sustain him." Where can you find a whig candidate in a free State announced in this way? Mr Rich ardson is the gentleman who so ably defended the Nebraska bill in the House of Representa tives, and it will be gratifying to every southern man to hear of his re"elcctJ IIocse of Representatives. The following table shows how parties will stand in the 34th Congress as far as ascertained: 34th Congress. "We have no hesitation in repeating emphat ically that the true democratic position is one of uncompromising antagonism to the secret order of know-nothingism. But this does not imply that our party is not ready to accede to such reasonable amendments of the naturalization laws as time and experience have pointed out as necessary and proper. Neither does it commit us to the approval or defence of naturalized citizens when their demeanor is such as to subject them to censures. The spirit of the naturalization laws expects those who enjoy its benefits to become Americanized in sentiment, in feeling, in demeanor, and in a hearty and exclusive allegiance to our own government. The demo cracy of the Union will never hesitate so to amend the laws as to secure these ends. But they cannot and will not seek to secure these objects by a crusade of intolerance against foreigners, as illiberal as it is unconstitutional." Henry Clay surmounts the whole; the statue is 10 feet high and is placed on a pedestal 2 feet high. . The whole height of the Monument from the ground line to the top of column is 105 feet. Accompanying the elevation just de scribed, is a vertical section of the Monument, exhibiting the interior arrangement and method of construction. It shows the inner vault de signed to contain the remains of Mr Clay, sur rounded by an outer vault from which a stair way leads to the top of the column. In this section every stone which is to enter into the structure is exhibited with the utmost minute ness and accuracy. If built of marble, the cost will be about 75, 0C0. The drawing speaks well for the ingenuity and skill of Mr Vernon as an Architect, and whether it is adopted or not, we doubt very much if it will be surpassed in beauty and style by any submitted to the committee.. The Result in 3-w Hanover. In a portion of our last week's issue we an nounced the election of Dugald McMillan, Esq, figgMr O. P. Copeland, a native artist, ex hibited at the late State Fair a picture of "Old Rip Van Winkle wide awake," designed to show that North Carolina is not now the lag gard aud sleepy old Rip she has been represent ed to be. The picture is spoken of in high terms, and it is said that the artist contem plates having it enrgaved so that everyone who wish can obtain a copy. , UASGER'S NOTICE.

LAND FOR SALE. 1 the Washington Star, that his removal is now in contemplation. Retter late than never: The Coi-cnwrship of Utah. We are much inclined to believe that the Administration are greatly exercised over the choice of a successor for Gov. Rrigham Young. Up to this time, we are satisfied that nothing approaching a solution of the problem of the fittest person has been arrived at, though we are very sure that he will not be a Mormon. We have every reason to believe that the Administration, in The Journal states that Mr McMillan was soli cited to run before Dr. Walker was nominated, and that he positively refused; and further, that if it had been known that Mr McMillan wanted to be a candidate, Dr. Walker would willingly have withdrawn. We can't understand what the New Hanover democrats are about.

There does not appear to be a disposition in those in authority here to shirk any one of the issues in Utah which circumstances are so rapidly forcing upon them; though, on the other hand, we take it for granted that they (the Administration) will do nothing in the premises with the disposition to court any trouble in Utah, that can be avoided in the due enforcement of proper United States authority there. Whoever may be sent there will go out so fortified that he will surely have the laws executed, while no one will be sent there who cannot be relied on to act with great prudence and sound discretion. AVe repeat, we have every reason to believe that great difficulty is being experienced in the selection of the proper man. It is further understood that the cidevant politicians of " the party " do not run after this particular office in such "schools" as follows vacancies in similar offices elsewhere." The steamer Africa arrived at New York on the 20th, with 3 days later news from Europe. Her news does not confirm the accounts of the taking of Sebastopol, brought by the steamer Raltic, and published last week. A battle had been fought at Alma, as stated, but Sobastopol remained untaken. The English loss in the battle of theAlma was 2,000; that of the French considerably less. Sebastopol was surrounded by the allies, the Russians hemmed in, and the place was to be attacked by land and sea." So the report that 18,000 Russians were killed and ten ships sunk was all a hoax. Serious disturbances are reported to have taken place at Malaga, in Spain. A republican conspiracy is said to have been discovered. Oct. 28. 18.r4. DUNCAN J.

According to the census of 1850, there were, in the United States, 40,5G4 physicians, 191 surgeons, 2,923 dentists, G.139 apothecaries and druggists, and 59 patent medicine makers. If the last item was about live times larger it would be nearer correct, and the first about one-half less it would be within its meaning. A "physician" is a man who has devoted years to study and research not one who has mixed medicines in a doctor's shop just long enough to retain their smell on his person, and after spending a few months in hearing lectures (with out, probably, understanding one-half of the words) sits himself up as a "regular-built" M. D. The N. Y. Tribune tells of a man in that city, a journeyman tailor, who had the cholera and was cured by a physician. The patient retain ed the prescriptions of the physician, and when he was again able to attend to his business, it occurred to him that since the cholera was very prevalent he had better give over his usual avo cation and set up a doctor shop. Accordingly he rented an office and advertised his " cholera medicine," taking good care to style himself "Doctor." When the next census is taken this man no doubt will be put down as a "physi-j cian." If our medical friends don't want oppo sition they must mind how they leave their pre scriptions lying about. The Know Nothings of Massachusetts hare nominated Henry J. Gardiner for Governor. J5 A great many hard words are being used by newspaper editors throughout the coun try shout the crew of the steamer Arctic who saved themselves. Thev are called "inhuman wretches," "cowards," "rascals," &c. We think it is all very uncharitable, for ninety-nine men in a hundred would have acted just as they did, saved their own lives. It is true, the sailors, engineers and firemen behaved very badly, but some allowance should be made for the fact that death, with all its terrors, was staring them in the face, and acting in accordance' with the first law of nature, self-preservation, they left the ship and sought their own safety.
