THE NORTH CAROLINIAN, F A VetE V1X L E, ; N. C; NOSTH-CAROLINIAN. FAYETTEVILLE, N. C, Saturday, November 17, 1S55. Cumberlaxd Scfekior Coort. The Fall term of this Court has beeu in session during the present week his honor, Judge Ellis, pre siding. On Monday the contested Will case of the late John McNeill (Little River) was taken up and occupied two and a half days. Messrs. W.B.Wright, W. Winslow, J. G. Shepherd, A. R. Kelly and Neill McKay, counsel for the Will; aud Messrs. J. II. Haugh ton, David Reid, Jas. Banks, and John A. Spears, against it. The arguments were made by Messrs. Shepherd, McKay, Haughton and 5anks. Much ability was displayed on both sides. The case was given to the Jury on Wednesday evening, who, after an absence of about 24 hours reported that they could not agree, and were discharged. Consequently there will have to be another trial. Johnson, who was convicted at the last term of the murder of Stewart, and who had a new trial granted by the Supreme Court, has moved his case' to Sampson county. The case of the State against Thcophilus Deal for Grand Larceny, was tried on Thurs day, and the prisoner found guilty. ...-. jfcgg- Judge Ellis, in his charge to the Grand Jury at the opening of the present term of Cumberland Superior Court, charged about in the same way that Judge Person did at Craven Superior Court a short time since, viz: That if a druggist or merchant sold a sealed bottle containing less than a quart of spiritous liquors of any kind, without a license, he thereby vio lated the law. So we suppose fine brandies that are sold in sealed bottles will have to be uncorked aud emptied together, or enough furnished a!ong with the bottle to make a quart, for we hardly think there is any common liquor bottle that holds a full quart. The decision is in accordance with the law; but a druggist is not prohibited from selling less than a quart when preseribed by a physician. Fire. The kitchen in the rear of Mr Henry Dranson's dwelling, on Person street, was con sumed by fire on Wednesday morning last. We publish the following extract from a letter to a gentleman in this place, from a citizen of a neighboring countv. lie is ricrlit I it is a matter of life or death to Fayettevillo, i aud we hope our citizens will not relax in their j efforts but push the work to a completion to I the coal fields without further delay. The in-! trc?t of Fayetteville requires it the interest ! of the Stockholders demands it: ''I am glad that you have resuscitated the Railroad. I hope now entire success will crown the enterprise. Fayetteville needs it must have it or die." i State Elections. Louisiana. It will be seen by the following dispatch that the democratic party have achieved another victory iu the South by car rying this State: New Orleans, Nov. 12. The entire demo cratic State ticket is victorious, as follows: For Governor, R. C. Wickliffe; Lieut. Govern or, C. II. Mouton; Sec. of State, Andrew S. Herron; Auditor, Samuel F. Marks; Treasurer, C. E. Greneaux; Attorney General, E. Warren Moise; Sup'dt. of Education, Samuel Bard. The Congressional Delegation will stand three democrats, and one know-nothing. It should be remembered that the know uothing candidate for Governor was a Catholic, yet the democratic party defeated him, although it is called by opponents " the Catholic party." No signs of love for Catholics in this election. The k. n. majority in New Orleans is only 285! New Jersey ' Election. The election in New Jersey, for members of the legislature, has resulted as follows: Senate, democrats 12, whigs 6, know-nothings 3. House, 37 demo crats, 16 whigs, 6 know-nothings, and 1 tem perance man. Mississippi Another Democratic Triumph. The democrats have carried Mississippi by a majority of 5,000, electing their candidate for Governor and other State officers. The entire delegation to Congress is democratic, and there is a democratic majority in the Legislature of 30! New York. The know-nothing ticket for State officers is elected. All the Senatorial districts but one, return 9 know-nothings, 9 democrats and 14 Republicans. The assembly stands: know-nothings 28; republicans 42; democrats 47. In New York city, the know nothing triumph is by no meaus as decisive as was at first reported. Flagg, dem., is re elected Comptroller by 170 majority over Giles, k. n. Willett, who was on the Soft and Hard tickets, is elected Sheriff by some 2,000 majority over Toone, k. n. For Commissioner of Re pairs, Selah, on both the democratic tickets, is elected over South worth, k. n.; and Shepard, soft, over Glover, k. u., for Corporation Coun sel. It will be seen that if the soft and hard dem ocrats had united, they would have swept the State. Our opponents have nothing to brag on in New York. E-l?"The steamer Empire City arrived at New York on Tuesday, from California, with $ 1,654,000 in specie. Political news unim portant. Baptist State Convention". This body con vened in Warreiiton, N. C, on the 31st nit. There Bras quite a large attendance. On Thursday morning Rev. James McDaniel was re-elected President of the Convention, and the Revs. Win. II. Jordan, James, aud Dr. Hooper were re-elected Yice-Presidents. A proposition to appoint a committee to select delegates to iu?t other delegates at Augusta, Ga., iu May weit, for the purpose of "uniting upon some plan for the institution of a Southern Theologi cal Seminary of the highest grade, under the joint management and control of the different committees of the Baptist denomination, was adopted unanimously. A new Post office has beeu established in Robeson county called "Fair Play," and Simon P. McNeill, Esq., appointed postmaster. JPt?" The democrats and anti-know-nothings in Wilmington have nominated the following ticket for Town Commissioners: Stephen D. Wallace, Dr. J. D Bellamy, John Dawson, T. C. Miller, Thomas II. Ilowey, D. A. Lamout, John A. Taylor. For Sale. W.m. C. Doub, Esq, proprietor of the Raleigh Star, offers his printing estab lishment for sale. The tri-vvcckly Star has been discontinued for the present. Not True we Hope! There are rumors afloat that the Yellow Fever has re-appeared in Norfolk and Portsmouth; but our exchanges from those places, are sileut on the subject. It is represented that quite a number of uew cases have been developed in Ports mouth. We do not ourselves place much reli ance on these flying reports, and trust especially that those of the refugees who have not Tet returned to their homes, will receive them with many grains of caution. We sliould most deeply deprecate the re appearance of the devastating epidemic iu our sister cities, for truly theirs has already been a hard fate! Petersburg Express. New York, Nov. 13. Stran-qk Uah-Road Accident. Last night the Ex-r-ros train from Albany on the Harlem Railroad.) with e-XCl'I'tion of the engine and tender) was thrown V, t,l,! ti'ack all the cars turning bottom up. Mr 'atbbouc, a paper manufacturer at Boston Corners ani John Gay lor, a hr-akesman, were killed, and upwards of a dozen passengers were injured. The aciideut is attributed to a sudden gust of wind which caused the cars to turn over. New Orleans, Nov. 10. From Texas. Later advices from Texas have been received. A fight had occurred near ort Belknap, between the Delaware and Cum anc.,e Indians, in which seven of the latter were "illed. The Indians were committing depreda- -a on me trontier. A treaty had been made with the Cuman ces iu New and in northern Mexico. Buffalo, Nov. 10. The propeller Finley hurst her boiler, off Port Stanly, C. W., on Thursday.

Maryland. The know-nothing majority on the popular vote of Maryland is 2,923. Too Bad. The idea of calling the know nothing party of Massachusetts the "American party'' and the democratic party of North Carolina the "anti-American party," is simplv ridiculous. The know-nothing party of Massa chusetts, which our political opponents in North Carolina are styling the "American party," and which has again succeeded in carrying that State, is the same party that so disgraced the State last year by its outrageous and unconsti tutional acts the same party that passed the notorious "personal liberty bill," by which the laws of the United States were nullified audi the South treated with the grossest injustice. ! Notwithstanding this, know-nothing papers and the members of that party iu North Carolina are exulting and comforting themselves that this same faction has again got control in Mas sachusetts, and the party is dignified with the name of "American," while the democratic pas ty of this State ami of the South is called "anti-American." Is not such a course too bad? Are the democrats of North Carolina anti-Americans and the abolitionists of Massa chusetts the only true Americans will any man in his right mind earnestly assert such a j thin;? We think not. Then why call the know-nothing party of Massachusetts Ameri can, and the democratic part' of the South anti-American? iST" A correspondent of the Standard gives a short account of thugreat know-nothing mass meeting held at Halifax recently, which has leen magnified by our know-nothing contem poraries. He puts down the number present at 198 men, 26 women and girls, 17 boys, 49 negroes, 10 musicians making a grand total of 300. But even this was a big crowd for a know-nothing meeting these times. The stock is low. " Two Know-nothing members of Con gress, from the State of New York, publish a call for a meeting of .all the Know-nothing members of the next Congress at Washington on the 29th November, for the purpose of consul tation. Know-Nothi.vg Abolition Triumph. While our know-nothing friends are congratulating themselves on the partial success of their allies in the North, it may not be amiss to call their attention to the kind of men elected, and let them see whether they ought to rejoice or not. C. C. Chaffee, one of the know-nothing members elected to Congress from Massachusetts, in an swer to an inquiry what will be his course in the next Congress, says: "And further in answer to the enquiry, 'What will be my action on the matters likely to come before the next Congress if I am chosen to a seat in it,' I reply, that in the organization of the House, I shall certainly vote for 'North em Men with Northern principles' for its offi cers; on the admission of the Delegate from Kansas, no powers on earth could induce me to vote otherwise than for the admission of Ex Gov. Reeder; on the question of the admission of Kansas as a State, I should vote promptly for her admission only as a free State; on the impeachment of Judge Kane, I should, if alive, vote for his impeachment. For all the votes in the tenth District I should uot vote in Con gress otherwise than as above indicated." And the other know-nothing members elected are of the same stripe with Mr Chaffee, for the know-nothing organ in Springfield speaks of them as follows: ."The congressmen of Massachusetts elected by the American party are such as will act on the side of freedom aud Americanism in the next congress." Will southern know-nothing papers continue to rejolte at their victory in Massachusetts? Important News. We copy the i following from the Petersburg Express, telegraphed to that paper from Washington. If true, it would seem to indicate that we are about, to have some squally times: - Washington, Nov. 13 Commodore Paul ding, being a discreet and skillful officer, has been selected by the Hon. Mr Dobbin, Sec'y of the Navy, to visit San Juan at Nicaragua, with his gallant flag ship Potomac. The Commodore was closeted to-day with Dobbin, relative to the best course to be pur sued by him in the quarter of San Juan. Notwithstanding Dobbin has avowed the in nocent objects of the British fleets just dis patched to the West Indies; the movement is regarded here with indignation if not indeed, the iucipieucy of hostilities Hence additional orders have been sent to-day to the various Naval stations throughout the Union, by the Department here, for the active and immediate preparation of every post, that we may be fully prepared to meet any emergency whatever. There's war brewing depend upou it. Look Here. Mr John H. Haughton, in his speech at the know-nothing meeting on Wed nesday evening, eulogized Gov. Gardner of Massachusetts, the know-nothing candidate for Governor, who has just been re-elected iu that State. It is strange that as good a southern man as Mr Haughton isshould be found compliment ing such a man as Gardner. For Mr Ilaughton's benefit, aud for the benefit of southern people, we copy the following from a know-nothing paper printed iu Springfield, Mass., called the " American Independent," which will show pretty clearly how much praise Gov. Gardner is entitled to from southern orators. Speaking of the late election, that paper says: "The election of Mr Gardner will be re ceived at the south as the triumph of anti-slavery principles. No man acted so independently, nor risked so much as he did in favor of anti slavery principles at the Philadelphia council. Hy the stand he took there the party became divided, as a national party. His course was approved at home by his political friends, and also by our enemies. His re-election will be considered as a defiance to the south, for they consider Gov. Gardner not only as an enemy of ability, but one who dares defy them anywhere and everywhere." We ask Mr Haughton and other know-nothing speakers, to read the above from the pen of one who lives iu the same State with Gov. Gardner, and knows him well, aud then see if they cau muster courage euough to praise him before a southern audience. "Ao man acted so independently, nor risked so much as he Gov. Gardner did in favor of anli-slaccry principles at the Philadelphia council" Mark that south ern men, aud then rejoice at such know-nothing triumphs. Good Luck. Judging from the remarks of Mr Spears iu the know-nothing meeting the other night, we presume our neighbor of the Argus is about to have some "fat" times. Mr Spears is reported as saying that before the next election the Argus was to be sent to every man ; and if this is the case, and arrangements made to pay for it, we think our neighbor ought to be highly elated at the prospect. Probably Maj. Spears meant that the Argus had been made the Slate organ by the late know-nothing State Convention, inasmuch as the President of the State Council, in calling that Convention together, stated thatthe necessity of supporting some particular press as the organ of the party would be brought to the atttntion of that body. Who knows but what the Argus was adopted by the recent know-nothing State Con vention as their organ? Is not our neighbor lucky? As good cause for such a belief we may mention that the tri-weekly Raleigh Star, (which has heretofore been looked upon as the organ of the party, we believe,) has been dis continued aud the whole establishment offered for sale. Success to home industry. Too Fast. One of the speakers at the kuow nolhing meeting, Mr Haughton, who occupied a seat iu the Philadelphia Council along witli Wilson and Gardner of Massachusetts, and others of that stripe, bragged a good deal over the Lonisiana election (before the final returns reached here.) But he was entirely too fast, for the next morning's mail brought the news of the complete triumph of the democratic part' iu Louisiana, thus nipping Mr Ilaughton's joy, and that of his hearers, iu the bud. "Wait for the wagon" hereafter. N. C. Conference. The North Carolina Conference of the Methodist Episcopal Church convened on Wednesday in the Court House, aud opened with Divine Worship. In the absence of Rev. Bishop Andrews, who is expected to be here this afternoon, Lev. Mr Nicholson was called to act as Presiding officer, pro tern. Rev. Mr Wyche was appointed Secretary and Rev. Mr Lewis Assistant Secretary. The Confer ence proceeded to the appointment of the several standing committees. The attendance appears to be large. In the course of a short discussion on a motion to appoint a committee to prepare the minutes aud superintend their publication, we learned that it is the generally understood conclusion of the Conference to establish a paper here to be called the "North Carolina Christian Advocate," of course uuder the supervision of the denomination. The number of Clergymen present is, we learn, about seventy. Many more are expected, aud will no doubt, be present. The following candidates were admitted on trial: Moses J. Hunt, James B. Bobbett, Jos. Wheeler, James "Wheeler, M. C. Thomas, J. A. Cunningham, John L. Ncwby, M. L. Wood and T. L Triplet. Wilmington Journal. Later from Central America. New York, Nov. 11, 1855.

The number of members in the district is about five thousand nine hundred. The Com mittee on Statistics reported more than four hundred nett increase during the past year. The Steward's report shows that the minis try have been better sustained the past year than heretofore. An Institution of learning is being reared up iu Davidson county, near the Yadkin river, under the direction of the Conference, called "Yadkin Institute," which we trust is destined to shed a halo of glory upon the minds of many of the rising generation in North Carolina..

The next Session of the Conference will be held at Moriah Church, three miles south of Greensboro', commencing on Wednesday before the 2d Sabbath in November next. C. F. HARillS, Sec'y. . fur the Carolinian. Mr Editor: The know-nothing meeting ad vertised, came off in the Town Hull on Wednes day night. Hector McNeill, Esq., was called to the chair. Mr Buxton stated that there was no business before the meeting that it was only called for the purpose of hearing from some of "our" friends from a distance. He called up David Reid of Duplin. He said that his voice was familiar to all that he would be proud to address his fellow citizens on the present occasion, but having an affection of the throat he would not make a speech ; and indeed he did not say much. He closed by calling up John II. Haughton, Esq.' Mr Haughton seem ed determined that all should know that he had been to Philadelphia and New York, and that he had made a speech there he went into an argument to show that the know-nothing party was a national party, which he most signally failed to do. He said that Democrats of the south were, to a man, true to the south, and as he said nothing against the northern democracy, wo presume he considers them true to the Union, lie seemed rather disposed to array his army against the abolitionists in order to 'deceive the people tried very hard to show that they gave them no sympathy. Mr II. evidently did not come up to the ex pectation of his friends. A call was then made for John W. Cameron, who appeared in the ring, and taking for his text "The spirits of just men made perfect," made a talk bearing a great similarity to the discourse of the old parson upon the same subject. A small amount of reverence and respect for the Holy scriptures is betrayed by any one who can inter sperse a political harangue with some of its most sacred passages, serving only as a source of merriment to a promiscuous crowd, who laugh at the speaker's aptness for associating the most sublime and sacred passages of inspiration with the most ridiculous aud bare faced sophistry. You know that the know nothings of Fayetteville can't have a meeting or do anything else without Cameron's having i finger in the pie, notwithstanding he recently professed so much attachment to the old whig party, and thonght it was good enough for him. But how prone is human nature to change, especially wheu anything is to be gained there by. Maj. John A. Spears and Col. Jas. C Davis being called out at the same time, both made a rush for the ring -Maj. Spears having the advantage in some respects,-beat his com petitor evidently to the mortification of Col. Davis, who was very anxious to make a speech. Mr Spears said that tie was called upon to follow three great men David Reid, their gal lant standard-bearer, John II. Haughton, their able representative to Philadelphia, and John V. Cameron, the great Lai tor or so many eyes. He thought if the Argus had beeu read by everybody before the last election, poor Davy would have been elected to Congress. He said that he had iu his eye a man who, before the next electiou, would Send the Argus to every man. lie came down after doing some lofty soaring. Mr Davis then stepped forward. He went deep down into the politics of the day, and there he stuck, not being able to soar aloft. He was a member of the happy family he re joiced that he was. He was very much afraid t.iat his remarks could not be comprehended, (perhaps so i and stopped several times to say he was only making a homespun speech. He spoke uutil the audience made a move to wards the door. The chairman adjourned the meetinsr after the crowd had almost all got down stairs. Poor little Sam, only 18 months old. and so much exposed to the air we fear it will prove bis destruction, unless he keeps himself warmed up with stimulants. . From the, RaleigK Standard. . , Uon. James C. Dobbin. Editors of Uoe JS or lh Carolina, Standard: Gentlemen: .Your correspondent "W. V. G." is entitled to the sincere thanks of the friends of Mr Secretary Dobbin for his pleasing review of the career of that distinguished geu tleman. And we hope he will not take it un kindly that we append a few additional remarks on his article. We think that "W. V. G."has underval ued the deep and abiding hold that Mr Dobbin has on the confidence and affections, not only of his personal aud political friends, but of every patriotic American citizen. The inflexible in tegrity and transcendaut ability with which he has ever discharged his duty, have hushed the voice of malice and left no ground for the critic. Few statesmen of our nation, and none of the present day, have led as unspotted n private and public life as Mr Dobbin. These qualities, and not the groundless caprice of the multi tude, have made James C. Dobbin one of the first men of the nation. The people know and feel this; and his very name is a tower of strength wherever ability is admired, integrity honored, and the Constitution beloved. Whv, then, should "W. V. G." propose for the second office of the nation the man who, mor ally and intellectually, is second to none? Believe us, "W. V. G.," he would be an honor to any office iu which he could bo placed; and if there is a man in the Republic who would fill the Presidential chair with honor to the nation, and without any addition to his own greatness, that man is James Cochran Dobbin. Your correspondent, though he may admire the statesman, cannot duly appreciate the man, till he learns intimately his character iu the private walks of life. There the glory of the statesman will be forgotten in the purity and amiability of the private citizen, in the delight fulness of the social circle, and iu the humility of the Christian. If the National Democratic party would pre serve its integrity and further its "interests, it must not slight the claims of Dobbin to be their standard-bearer in the coining contest. Not even the back-biting malice of know-not h iugism can pick a flaw in his character; and the language of every true democratic heart would be. and is, "where Dobbin leads we will follow." The day will come when, iu every part of the Republic, the name of our noble fellow-citizen will be honored and loved as it now is in HARNETT. New Orleans, Nov. 12. From Mexico.

A Mr Where, of In diana, a respectable and wealthy German, was summoned on a jury, and although he told the ! sheriff he was "loo Dutch to sit upon the jurv," j he was not excused. After trial of an impor- I taut case, a motion was made by the defeated j party for a new trial on the ground that Mr Where could not understand English, and the man was brought forward for examination. The account says: During his examination, Mr Where became very much alarmed, and,' in spite of the as surances of the court, the bar and his friends, that he had done no wrong, he still thought he" was upon his trial for some crime he had com mitted. He inquired in his owu language, what wo dd become of his family, and burst into tears. Not being able to reconcile him, he was discharged, and immediately proceeded homeward On arriving at home, he remarked to his family that the lawyers hero had "scared him almost to death, and he didn't know that he could get over it." He remained thoughtful and melancholy until Sunday, the 20tli ultimo, when his ntuiily were horribly shocked by finding him a corpse, suspended by the neck in his own barn. Not understanding the nature of the examination he was subjected to, and supposing he had committed some givat wrong, so wrought upon his mind as to induce him to commit suicide. 31 A II 111 HI).
