By the Pe tersburg Express we learn that the know-noth-Jnjr State Convention of Virginia has nominat ed Thos S Flournoy for Governor, Jas M II lieale for Lt.

The society was ad dressed by Wm. B. Wright, Jas. Banks, C. G. Wright, Jno. A. Spear?. Neill McKay, Esqrs, and others. The citizens of Richmond county pro- pose to give a public dinner to the representa tives in the Legislature from that section, and have appointed a committee of 1G to solicit subscriptions to defray the expense.

V democratic Convention is proposed to be .eld at Winston during lorsythe bnpcr.or Court week. jgjgy- There has been a riot with the hands employed on the North-eastern Railroad. The workmen, it seems, complained that the con tractors had not complied with their engage ments, and a 'strike" was the result. The Sheriff was resisted, when the military com panies of Charleston were ordered out and cap tured about 40 of the rioters and confined them iu Jail. C. F. it D. R. Nav. Co. A meeting of the stockholders of the Cape Fear and Deep River Nav Company was held in Wilmington last week. In consequence of sufficient notice-not having been given, Mr Rencher, who held the proxy of the State, gave lsoticc.that its acts would not be binding on the company. In order to pay off the debts of the company, a committee was appointed to obtain $100,000 of new pre ferred stock, to bear 7 per cent, interest. We learn that citizens of AVilmington took a respectable amount of the stock so authorized to be raised The Wilmington Journal says that throughout a harmonious spirit seemed to prevail, and a renewed interest was manifested in the work, and a confidence expressed in its ultimate and speedy completion, which had not existed in that place for a length of Bau.koad Convention.

An Election was held in this State, on the 13th inst., for State officers and three congressmen. So far as the returns have been received, they indicate a general sweep by the Know Nothing party. Returns have been received from 105 towns, two-thirds of the State, which show Metealf, the know-nothing candidate for Governor, 2,811 over all others. Three (all) anti-administra tion members of Congress are elected. To the Legislature the know-nothings have elected 123 members, democrats 29,. whigs 3, Organization of Harnett Comity. On Monday last we were present at the or ganization "of the new County of Harnett, which took place at Sunintrrville. There was a large number of persons present, and everything was doue in a bosiness-like and harmonious manner: At 12 o'clock, the Justices of the Peace re siding'in the new-county met in the Academy building and proceeded to organize. The" fol lowing are the names of the Justices present : Geo. W. Pegram, Sam'I E. Johnson, R. C. Belden, A. J. Cameron, D. B. Cameron, Dun can McCormick, John McDonald, Jas.

Without intending the least disparagement to the unsuccessful candidates, we congratu late the citizens of Harnett on their selection f officers all being worthy and competent l gentlemen. The Commissioners appointed to locate the Court House have selected Summerville as the place, and we understand that the name of the village is to be changed to that of Toomf.r. This is a handsome and deserved compliment to the venerable Judge Toomer. The necessary steps were taken, we believe, for erecting a Court House. The act establish ing the County provides that prisoners shall be conJineiUin the Jail of Cumberland until one is eso WuIIarnett. I S- Wright, John Winslow, James lf?TTiks, C. G. Wright, M. J. McDuffie, Jno. A. Spears and Xeill M-Kav, Esnrs., members of the Bar, were present at the organization.. Summerville. During the first part of the week, we visited Summerville, the county seat of Harnett, and had the satisfaction of shaking hands with many old friends, and also extending our ac quaintance with the citizens of that section of country. We found them a clever set of peo ple, intelligent, enterprising and industrious. Summerville is not a large village, but con tains some handsome dwellings. The Presby terian denomination have a very neat Church edifice, known as "Tersey Church." It is hand somely painted both inside and out. The pul pit is situated between the two entrance doors, and as persons are entering the house their backs are to the pulpit, and in going out they face it. We like this plan for one reason, viz : It wil! prevent persons from leaving the church during service, unless they have a good cause; but if they do leave they must "face the music." The Grave Yard is near the Church, and contains many old graves some of the. first settlers. Over one of the graves we noticed this inscription: "The grave of the stranger." Who he was and his name we did not learn he may have been a father who died far away from his wife and little children or he may hatf been an onlv son, whose fond mother pres- for the last time when he set out iks of the Cape Fear or else he was an only brother an only relative. Whoever he was, he did not die uncarcd for, for we un j t,)at tho slab wllich marks L j d that killd.hearJ is a rave ted and generous man, Col. Alex. Murchison. There are two public houses in the village one kept by Mrs Railey, the other by Malcom McKay, Esq, who we found an obliging land lord and clever gentleman. There are two flourishing schools in Summer ville one taught by J. C. McNair, Esq, and the other by Gen. A. D. McLean. There is not a store or a shop of any descrip tion in the place. Not a drop of liquor for sale on the ground. There is a provision in the charter of Cumberland Academy (located at Summerville) which prohibits the sale of in toxicating liquors in the village or near it. The question was mooted in private circles whether the locatiojofhe connty ; seat at the place would not render this restriction void. We think not, and this appeared to be the opinion of the citizens generally. Before any of the "fire water" can be sold at the county seat of Harnett, the Legislature must act on the subject. Upwards of one hundred acres of land, most ly lying in the centre of the village, have been donated to the county of Harnett, on which a Court House and Jail are to be built, ie oaiance to oe iaiu ou in ious auu suitfr- the nro- lied for thc t of the CI V Tr During 'a" stay ' of two days in Summerville, we did not see an intoxicated person ou the I ground, notwithstanding the gathering was :fc ' 15 ! large.

Last weeV we mentioned the amount of dam age done in this vicinity by fires iu the woods. Since then ; we have received information from different sections of this and the adjoining coun ties, and regret to learn that the destruction of property has been great. Between this" 'place' and Summerville, tlie u'onls worn nn fir tlip whole wav. and manyJ fences and out-hoases, together with twiiber and turpentine boxes have been - consumed!. The country on the other side of Summerville V has also sustained considerable damage. Farm- ers informed us that they had to light fire day and night, and it was with the utmost difficulty that their dwellings were saved. On Friday the fire swept directly through the villagof Summerville, and had it not been for the fact that oa that day there was a. public gathering at the ' place, many YIaole dwellings jmfght nic wecu tuusuiucu , iuc, niuu wiu ' cl J, tfio-' A and many, trees were thrown across'ttl ''S&lmtriean .Steamer fired tnto by a Spanish vettel. wijewas thrown-ctown and broken for toiles. v2rri Robeson county, we ,pdstanLat tfef loss is yery great.

D- withdjulty that Mrs Davis, who was sick, wias rescued from the burning house. At the time the fire reached Mr Davis' premises, he xvas away from Wiomc assisting his neighbors, and did not reach home in time to save anything. In Moore county several dwellings are re ported to have been destroyed. As to the ex tent of the damage further west we have no information. In the eastern part of the State the damage is equally as great. Iu Sampson and Duplin counties serious losses are reported. The Wil mington Journal says : "A destructive fire, we regret to learn, has broken out in the woods in the upper part of New Hanover and lower part of Bladen, also in Columbus county. We learn that the fenc ing of whole plantations have been swept off by the flames. Green Swamp, in Columbus county, is said to have been on fire for several days. The fire was still raging at last accounts, extending towards Duplin county. We learn from a gentleman from Georgia, that the woods in that State and also in South Carolina, all along the line of the Railroad, were on fire on Friday and Saturday last, whole plantations were destroyed, in some in stances ever' building on the estates were con sumed, and several portions of the track of the Railroad were so much damaged as to stop tlie cars a few hours." In this and the adjoining counties the calami ty is more seriousl' felt by poor persons who lived in small houses built iu the woods, with but little cleared ground around their premi ses. Many families have been rendered house less, and left without means to rebuild. These cases strongly appeal to the charity of the community. Moue Fires. The Marion Star gives an ac count of the progress of the fires in that direc tion. e quote : Scarcely -one out often of our planting friends but. Iiiivp to rppord soinf! (ln.imurn rinnt to fen - cimr. and a lartre number lose barns. nerro houses and out houses. From eye witnesses we are informed that the flames in a great number of instances defied every effort to arrest their progress, and fencing was literally swept away by the devouring element. The exceedingly dry weather rendered the small streams and water courses a feeble barrier to the progress of the flames, and highness of the wind carried the fires across cleared fields. A number of dwelling houses were only saved by great ex ertion. We subjoin a few of the particulars that have reached us. The M. E. church called Union and M. E. church called Ebenezer, were both destroyed. The dwelling house and out houses of 11. G. Fladger, with all his furniture, and even a cow in his lot. The barns, with the corn belonging to the estate of Mathcw Mace. The carriage horses and buggy of F. A. Miles. The gin house, containing cotton and cotton seed, of Hugh Smith. On the west side of the Pee Dee, the barns, carriage horses and carriage house of F. M. McCorkle. Negro houses of Mrs. S. W. Jolly, and it is stated that there are about thirty families on that side of the river made houseless. Marine Hospital at Wii.mixgtox. Con gress, at its late session, appropriated $40,000 for erecting a Marine Hospital at AVilmington, N. C, the site for the building to be donated to the Government. We see published in the papers, a letter from the Hon. Simon Cameron, of Pa., taking ultra freesoil ground in relatiouto the slavery ques tion. A'orfolk Jjeacon. .

In 1S44, with a real or supposed majority iu the Legislature against him, he managed to secure his election by duping the "Natives." In the Legislature of that year the "Native American" delegates from the county of Philadelphia held the bal ance of power, and in order to secure their sup port and his election, Cameron promised to in troduce a bill into the Senate to extend the naturalization laws to 21 years a promise he never complied with, because he found that the "Native American" party had declined so much that it could not be of further service to him. Simon Cameron has never beeu popular with the Buchanan democrats in Pennsylvania. So the Observer will sec that in this instance what is "Sauce for the goose" i not "pudding for the gander."
