THE NORTH CAROLINIAN, FA YETTE VILJ.E, N. V.
NORT&-OAROLINIAN.
FAYETTEVILLE, N. C,
Saturday, September 15, 1855.
NOTICE. We earnestly request those in arrears for
the Carolinian to pay up, as money is needed at this
time. By paying now it will be an advantage both
to the debtor and to us. Money can be sent by mail
at onr risk. A large number owe for the present year
and for preceding years, and we do hope that this call
for a settlement will meet with prompt attention dont
neglect it. friends, because the amounts you owe are
small remember that taken together these small sums
make thousands with us. Who will be the first to
answer? The present year's subscription with most
of our subscribers expires on the first of October, when
we hope all will take advantage of the advance" rates.
It is much better to pay once a year than to allow two
or three or four years to run.
We must insist on keeping the above before
our patrons until delinquents (or some of them
at least) settle up.
Cumberland County Fair. It will be seen
by advertisment that the Animal Fair of the
Cumberland County Agricultural Society has
been postponed until the 14th day of Novem
ber next. Citizens of the snrronnding counties
are invited to compete for the premiums, which
we hope they will do. The Fair grounds are
being improved, and ample arrangements being
made for the accommodation of exhibitors.
We have heard it suggested that as the Fair
will take place during our Superior Conrt week,
many may be deprived the privilege of partici
pating in it in consequence of having to attend
Court. We do not know whether the Execu
tive Committee took this fact into consideration
when they fixed the time. Wonld not a week
earlier, or a week later, suit better?
je2? Col. Mnrchison, the energetic President
of the C. F. & D. R. Nav. Co., we are glad to
learn, is fast recovering from his recent illness.
His numerous friends will be glad to learn of
his speedy restoration to health.
IKS1" We understand that the steamer James
R. Grist, running on the Cape Fear between
Fayetteville and Wilmington, happened with
another accident on Friday last. The piston
rod becoming detached from the crank, burst
out the cylinder head, which caused a small
portion of steam to escape. This alarmed one
of the deck hands (a negro) to such an extent
that he jumped overboard and was drowned. A
pole was handed him while in the water but he
was so frightened that he refused to take hold
of it, and swam off and sunk.
Sy The new "BauS of Wilmington" has
commenced operations, which the Journal hopes
will be successful in affording those facilities so
much needed at the present time.
Foreign News. The steamer Africa arrived
on Wednesday last with seven days later iutel-j
ligence from Europe.
Nothing decisive from the seat of war. Gen
PeUissier states that theFreuch captured a Rus
sian ambuscade on the night of the 23 J. Sub
sequently the Russians tried to retake it, but
were repulsed with the loss of 300. Napoleon,
in a letter toPelissier, says he looks for a speedy
termination of the siege, and says that if Sebas
topol docs not fall, he knows by information
received, that the Russian army cannot sustain
the struggle through the coining winter. The
Russians are said to have launched several new!
vessels at Nicolaefl". ; Seventeen Russian gun
boats came out of Riga on the 10th, and fought
two hours with the British screw steamer
Hawk, of 60 guns, and an S guu covette The
result wbs indecisive.
In the Liverpool market Sept. 1st, Cotton
was firm but not higher sales of the week
51,000 bales. Breadstuff dull and Corn de
clined. A Valuable Book. Edward Cantwcll, Esq,
of Raleigh, is preparing and will publish the
first of the coming year, a book called " The
Magistrates Complete Guide," containing a
summary of the Laws of the State of North
Carolina, and the decisions of the Supreme
Court, defining the duties and jurisdiction of
Justices of the Peace, out of Court, under the
newly revised code of 1854 '55, together with
all necessary forms and precedents. No doubt
the work will be a valuable one to Magistrates
and all others who desire to be 'posted up' in
law matters.
Maine Election. The election took place
on Monday last. Sufficient returns have been
received to show that the Republican, Know
Nothing, Maine Law candidate for Governor,
Mr Morrill, the present incumbent, is defeated.
He is not elected by the people, and the com
plexion of the Legislature shows that there is
no chance for his election by that body. In
many cases the Democrats proper and the Con
servative Whigs, united upon the same candi
dates for members of the Legislature. WcIIp,
the democratic candidate for Governor, is a
Nebraska man, and it is thought he will be
elected by the Legislature.
Hardly so. A correspondent of the St.
Louis Democrat states that an abolition paper
printed in Kansas Territory, called the "Kan
sas Free State," is chiefly supported by North
and South Carolina, one of which States the
editor was recently a resident. We cannot
think this is so, bnt we would not be much sur
prised if the statement turned out to be true,
as the "Saturday Evening Post," a worthless
northern sheet, is extensively patronized at the
South. The "Post" has been engaged in justi
fying the robbery of Mr Wheeler at Philadel
phia, for which it ought to be discarded from
every Southern family.
B- The Washington Union of the 9th,
states that the President, prompted by his de
sire to alleviate the distress now prevailing at
Portsmouth aud Norfolk, despatched the Surgeon-General
of the army to Old Point Com
fort, with a view of examiniug Fortress Mon
roe in reference to its adaptability as a place of
temporary refuge for the citizens of those places,
and in the hope that his experience would ena
ble him to devise some measure for their relief.
The Fever. Accounts from Norfolk and
Portsmouth Rhow no abatement of the disease.
A letter to the Petersburg Express says there
were 130 burials in Norfolk on Sunday, and 40
deaths on Mouday last. Six physicians from
the north have died.
Fifty deaths occurred in Norfolk on Satur
day, and 23 in Portsmouth. Dr. Wm. Collins,
the President of the Seaboard &Roanoke Rail
road is dead. A correspondent states that
there were eighty deaths in Norfolk on Monday.
The Norfolk correspondent of the Petersburg
Express, writes as follows:
"It is awful dear friend, to think of the great
distress and suffering in the two communities
of Norfolk and Portsmouth. You have doubt
less read accounts in the papers of the distres
sing scenes enacted in both places, but the pa
pers fail to give an adequate idea. The faqts
are really startling and heart-rending and many
appalling scenes never get into the papers.
There is no form, no ceremony here, bnt as
soon as the breath is ont your body, you are
hurried to the grave.
I saw at the Potter's Field, (so great is the
difficulty in obtaining grave diggers,) a pit
about 1 6 to 20 feet square, in which was buried
the bodies of 34 victims, piled one upon anoth
er, and covered over with dirt and lime, form
ing one huge and monstrous mound.
Many have been interred without boxes or
coffins, or any thing else, save the blanket
upon which they died. Several of our wealth
iest citizens have been buried in rough square
boxes, and the graves dug by their friends.
In one instance, I heard of a father digging
the graves of his two only daughters; and as
many as 19 to 20 bodies have been lying on
the ground at the Cemetery, waiting their turn
for interment, as soon as the holes were dug,
for in many instances they were not more than
2 feet deep.
Business is entirely suspended, and stores
all closed. You cannot obtain a pound of
sugar or a piece of soap. The rich as well
as the poor are dependent upon the Howard
Association, who have established a Provision
Store, and who dispense food and provisions to
the needy with a bountiful hand.
It is stated that on Sunday 20 dead bodies
were piled up in the Hospital for the want of
coffins. Rev Vernon Eskridgc of the Method
ist Chnrch and Rev Jas Chisholm of the Epis
copal church, died in Portsmouth on Tuesday.
President Pierce. So bitter are the oppo
nents of the President of the United States,
that they never allow an opportunity to pass
without abusing and ridiculing him. A short
time ago he visited the Virginia Springs for
the purpose of recruiting his impaired health,
and because the citizens of those places through
which he passed chose to show their respect for
him and the position he occupied, by a public
demonstration, the know-nothing papers of
Virginia and North Carolina (with some few
exceptions) have seized the occasion to abuse j
and slander him with the most virulent lan
guage possible to use. We are not surprised
at northern papers abusing Gen. Pierce, be
cause he has shown little favor for those croak
ing hypocrites who encourage aud countenance j
the stealing of southern property, but we are
astonished that southern editors should join in j
the howl against a man who has respected onr;
rights as much, and we believe more, than any J
other northern man in the Union. Abolition-j
ists abuse Mr Pierce because they say he favors j
the South too much, and southern know-noth-
jugs abuse him because they want an opportu- j
nity to nibble at the "loaves and fishes," a de-;
sire that will not soon be gratified.
A Democratic Meetino was held in Wil
mington on Tuesday evening last for the pur
pose of thoroughly organizing the party in New
Hanover county. Committees of A'igilance
were appointed. Resolutions were passed ex
pressive of renewed confidence in the principles
of the great National Democratic party. We
publish the following excellent ones:
Resolved. That President Fierce, in his inaugural
and annual addresses, has declared and set forth prin
ciples of National policy which meet our hearty
approval, and has earned for himself thanks of the
country for the enforcement of those principles in
giving his signature to the Kansas and Nebraska Kills
his faithful execution of the Fugitive Slave Law,
and his vetoes of measures of extravagance and doubt
ful constitutionality, as well as other measures of a
demonstrative policy, in accordance with these prin
ciples, lie has deserted no principles, and falsified no
pledges.
Resolved. That we have no sort of sympathy with
the Know Nothing order or self-styled American party.
We dislike its secrecy, its illegal oaths, its unconstitu
tional tendencies, its political proscription, its religious
intolerance and its abolition connections and affinities.
Such an order is opposed to the spirit of onr country
and subversive of its institutions.
Resolved, That we rejoice over the signal triumphs
of the glorious old Democratic party obtained in every
Southern State where elections have yet been held,
with the single exception of Kentucky, where the
victory of the Know Nothings is stained with the blood
of women and Children, and abolitionism has obtained
its only foot-hold upon Southern soil.
R; solved, That the time has come when all Demo
crats who valu j their principles, and the success of
their party as a means nf enforcing those princ'ples,
should come together and act as one man against this
dangerous and subversive tm;and every Democrat
should regard it as a personal and individual duty,
incumbent upon him as a citizen, to meet, expose and
condemn the influence of this pernicious delusion.
A Beautiful Store. The crockery store
of our young merchant, Wm. N. Tillinghast. is
an ornament to the north side of Hay street.
His wares are handsome and of all qualities,
aud arranged in such a manner as will almost
induce a man to buy whether he wants to or
not. Mr Tillinghast is evidently a man of
taste, and though quite young, he seems to nn
derstand the art of success, for he advertises
extensively in all the town papers, which we
hope will insure an examination of his goods at
least. We make this notice of his establish
ment because we instinctively desire the success
of a man who adopts the means that he does
to place his business before the public, and we
do so the more readily because he never solicit
ed or probably never expected a notice of this
sort. Those who want to ornament their
tables ought to take a peep at Mr Tillinghast's
assortment of table cutlery, glass wares, &c.
ST" It is said that our Miuister to England,
Hon. James Buchanan, will not return on the
1st of October, (the time he designated,) owing
to the importance of the negotiations now
going on between that country and this.
New Orleans, Sept. 10. The Yellow Fe
ver is abating. Deaths last week only 255.
Weather cool and showery.
Hon. John Kerr. A correspondent of the
Standard states that this gentleman made a
speech at Oxford last week. Notwithstanding
no public notice had been given of Mr Kerr's
willlingness to gratify his friends, a large au
dience attended, although Court was in session.
The writer says:
"All assembled lawyers and all to hear
the gallant Kerr, end right nobly did he answer
the expectations of his large and respectable
audience. For more than two hours he kept
his respectful and attentive hearers enchained
and delighted with his soul-stirring eloquence,
John Kerr is an orator by nature, and among
the noblest and most powerful. His very ex
pression, and powerful, yet graceful action,
speak in a manner that none but nature's no
blest sons can equal, and no one with a soul can
fail to admire him. To his old whig friends,
now Knovv-Nothings, who had rallied around
him wheu he was captain of their forces in 1852,
and fighting with all his powers of mind under
the banner of Scott and Grahan, of "rich Irish
brogue and sweet German accent" memory, he
administered a rebuke that was now really
sublime. But they stood and took it, numbers
of them being present, without offering to leave
or attempting to interrupt him, such was their
admiration of the speaker's noble bearing.
Now, said the bold orator, my men are all gone
but a few noble Romans. He had not forsaken
them nor his post, when the hour of adversity
came; but stood fighting until the last. But
he now found his former friends, save only the
patriotic few who wonld not go Know-Nothing-ism,
all against him, all deserters; and, being
left in this position, he should not hesitate as
to the course he should pursue. There was a
party in the country which had shown by its
action in the last Congress of the U. States
that it was a National party, a Constitutional
party, and disposed to do him and the consti
tutional rights of his section justice. No other
part)' had shown as much, that then or now ex
isted in the country. There were, in fact, h.it
two parties in the country a great national
and corstitutional party, and a great Northern
anti-constitutional party, warring upon his rights
and the rights of his section. He had no hesi
tation in choosing between them. He should
stand up for, ami act with those that were dis
posed to do justice to his section. The South
never needed a constitutional party worse than
now. Her entire safety depended upon it, and
with that party he should act. He paid Judge
Douglas and Gen. Cass a glowing tribute for
their great moral courage, and also the mem
orable forty-four in the House of Representa
tives. Upon the Know-Nothing issues he was clear
and convincing, and disposed of them all in the
happiest manner. He was anti-Know-Nothing
throughout. At the conclusion of Mr Kerr's
speech, Hon. A. W. Vcnable was called out,
and made a few remarks, principally compli
mentary to Mr Kerr, and declaring his opposi
tion to Know-Nothiiigism."
t&Sf How foolish it is to talk about making
the North respect our rights while southern
people patronize the North to the extent they
do. If yon want to severely punish an enemy
the right way to do so is to cut off the sup
plies. What do the northern people care about
our complaints as long as we spend our money
among them. If a southern man wants to take
a little recreation from his business, instead of
patronizing the summer retreats in the southern
States, he goes North, where he dares not car
ry his property for fear of being robbed. Now-a-days
if a man marries a wife the first thing
to be done is to go North to spend the honey
moon. The N. Y. Journal of Commerce, in
giving some idea of the way the Hotels of that
city are at present patronised by strangers,
states the number of visiters at 9 of the princi
pal hotels, in one day, to be 3,980, besides a
large number at smaller houses. The same pa
per states that the Fall Trade thus far has been
unusually large. Many houses are selling near
ly double the usual quantity of goods, and so
busy are the dry good dealers that they are
compelled to work all night to pack the goods
sold during the day.
We are aware that advantages arc gained
by purchasing in New York, Boston and Phil
adelphia, but could not the same inducements
be offered by southern cities if patronized suf
ficiently. The Richmond Whig proposes, in order to
retaliate upon northern people for stealing our
negroes, that southerners buy goods and refuse
to pay for them. Come the "snatch game" over
them. We don't think this wonld work so well.
The better plan would be to purchase as little
as possible at the north, and endeavor to build
up southern cities. Why could not Baltimore,
Charleston, and other southern plaees, import
largely and sell to an advantage. We believe
they could and would do it if southern mer
chants would patronize them.
As long as the South preaches one thing and
practices another, so long will the North dis
regard our rights.
We intend soon to purchase new materials
to print the Carolinian with, and we have de
termined to buy them at Charleston or Balti
more. figg- Passmore Williamson, the abolition ras
cal who headed the gang of negroeslhat robbed
Col. Wheeler of his property at Philadelphia,
has been nominated by the republicans (free
soilers) of Pennsylvania for Canal Commission
er. This was done to insult the South.
jggS"- It is stated that the fever has broken
out at Suffolk, Va. A son of the proprietor of
the Hotel at that place died on Monday of yel
low fever. He had not been into cither of the
infected cities since sometime anterior to the
appearance of the epidemic. This has produced
great confusion and alarm among the citizens
of the place. A large number from Norfol";
and Portsmouth had taken refuge there, but
the appearance of the fever has caused the peo
ple to fly in every direction.
J6T" The democratic State Convention of
Massachusetts, recently assembled, nomiuated
E. B. Beach, of Springfield, for Governor, and
Caleb Stetson for Lieut. Governor. The nomi
nation of these gentlemen are cheering signs
that the democracy of Massachusetts have some
respect for the safety of the Union and shows
their indignation for the open-mouthed aboli
tionists of the North. Both gentlemen, while
in the Massachusetts Legislature, opposed the
election of that notorious abolitionist, Charles
Sumner, to the TJ. S, Senate.
From California. The steamer Northern
Light has arrived with $1,005,597 in specie
and late news from California. Among the
items of news we find the following:
Col. Walker arrived at San Juan del Sud on
the 29th, with a small detachment under his
command. He was endeavoring to recruit
from the California passengers, with but little
success.
Trade at San Francisco was dull, and most
articles of merchandise had declined in price.
The mines continued to do well, and the wheat
crop, it is thought, would amount to about
2,000,000 bushels.
The Indian war on the northern boundary of
California and the southern part of Oregon still
rages. Twenty-five Americans had been mur
dered on the Klamath. The Indians had also
attacked the miners on the upper Sacramento.
Seven Americans had been wounded, aud fifty
Indians killed.
At Ranchora a party of Mexican robbers
had attacked the settlers, killing eight men and
one woman, including a man named A. Francis,
whom they robbed of seven thousand dollars.
The robbers were pursued by a party under
command of Sheriff Phoenix, and a fight ensued
in which the Sheriff and three of the robbers
were killed. Subsequently, nine of the out
laws were hnng by Lynch law.
The steamer Empire City arrived on the 10th
with $1,000,000 in specie.
JBS? A new Post Office has been established
in Robeson county called "Melrose" Joseph
McCollum Postmaster.
JBF The appointment of Wilson Shannon as
Governor of Kansas Territory very much dis
pleases the freesoilers and abolitionists. John
Wentworth, of Chicago, a free-soiler, speaks as
follows of Governor Shannon:
"Those whe know Wilson Shannon, know
that he is a Southerner in all his notions as
much so as any one of the firm of Douglas,
Atchison, Stringfellow and Co. He goes to
Kansas to make Kansas a slave State. His
antecedents must be known to Gen. Pierce.
He was an old Tyler man. Although elected
to the office of Governor of Ohio by the demo
crats, he came oat with a letter endorsing John
Tyler, and by the same John Tyler, he was
given a foreign mission.
By a strange combination of circumstances
he was elected to Congress for one term, and
one only. During his Congressional career he
was a Southerner in all his notions and all his
votes. His record is right, and, what is better,
his heart is right for Douglas and slavery. He
goes to Kansas to inflict a deadly blight upon
its rising hopes, and to curse its people with
bondage."
J5t35 The fellow Abbott, who was arrested
in Wilmington for robbing a house, and who
escaped from the officer while being removed
from that place to Richmond, was apprehended
in Oxford, N. C, where he stole money. He
was tried last week and 39 lashes put upon his
back, and again started off for Richmond to be
arraigned for theft in that city.

fiST" The celebrated Col. Kinney, aobut
whose operations so mnch has been said recent
ly, has arrived on the shores of Central Ameri
ca, and purchased 30,000,000 acres of laud
with 300 miles of seacoast for $500,000. This
news is communicated in a letter from San
Juan.
Railroad Accident. The mail and passen
ger train on the Reading Road was thrown
from the track Saturday owing to the displace
ment of the switch. There were seven passen
ger cars, all of which were more or less injured.
The passengers all escaped uninjured, owing to
the presence of mind displayed by the engineer.
The passengers immediately subscribed $100, to
purchase a watch as a present for the engineer.
We learn that the down train on the Wil
mington & Weldon Road, due this morning,
ran over a cow two miles south of Enfield, throw
ing off the express and baggage cars and one
passenger coach. Nobody injured. The bag
gage and express cars were considerably injured,
the coach but slightly. Wil. Journal of the 12A
fljayThe Columbia (S. C.) papers contain
a notice that application will be made to the
Legislature of that State, at its next session,
for.the charter of a railroad Company, to con
struct a road leading from Chcraw (S. C.) to
the North Carolina line.
Santa Anna The Havana correspondent
of the National Intellegencer states that Santa
Anna, late President of Mexico, retires from
that impoverished and distracted country with
the snug little fortune of seven millions of dol
lars. Two-thirds of this immense sum is reputed
to be invested in stocks and real estate in the
United States and England, he having succeed
ed, it is said, in getting two millions of dollars
in hard money out of the country at the time
of his flight.

Kingsbury is situated at the terminus of the Fayette
ville & Ualeigh Plank Road, eleven miles from the
former place, and within three miles of King's Land

business conveniences and comforts for living, perhaps
than any country seat in Cumberland. On them is a
neat two-story family mansion, containing seven rooms
a tire place in each, with front and rear piazza and

Water Grist Mill, two Cooper and two Blacksmith's
Shops, Wheel Right Shop, Turpentine Sheds, Ac.; all

h:ll Water. All the buildings are new and have
been erected within the last four or five years. To
these valuable improvements we will add i,500 acres
of Pine Ltnds, and we will take $3,500 for the whole,
