CniT-cnAT. We made a flying visit to Samp
son county, last week, and had the pleasure of
grasping the hands of many of our old and
valued friends, all of whom seemed anxious to
make us feel as if we were truly at home again.
We trust they need no assurance that their
kindness to us is fully appreciated.
The town of Clinton continues to improve in
appearance, and reflects much credit ou the
good taste and enterprise of its citizens. The
Court House is being enlarged and thoroughly
repaired, and, when finished, will be commodi
ous and look very well. We think, however,
the old building should have been stormed, and
a new Court House erected in its stead.
We heard it acknowledged by men of all
parties, that Gov. Bragg got the upper-hand
of his competitor, Mr Gihner, in the discussion
that took place between those gentlemen in
I Ciinton, week before last The democrats are
enthusiastic in their devotion to Bragg, and
many of the old-line wings' have resolved to
vote for Bragg and Buchanan. Among the
number who have taken this position are to
be found some of the-most intelligent and in
fluential old line whigs in the county.
There are two democratic candidates for. the
Senate, in the field, and the canvass is being
conducted with considerable warmth of feeling.
We regret to see the democracy of Sampson
divided and distracted in this manner, for sach
a state ot things as now exist there cannot but
result disastrously to the democratic cause.
Let the breach be healed, if possible. At pres
ent, the know-nothings have no candidates out
for the Legislature, and we learn that it is not
their intention to nominate an.
The Commencement Exercises of the Clinton
Female Institute closed on the 17th inst. This
Institution, under the management of L. C
Graves, Esq., Principal, is achieving a wide
spread reputation, and the liberal patronage
which it has received from the public cannot
but be gratifying to all who feel an interest in
the success of the School. Gold Prize Medals
and Diplomas were awarded to the following
young ladies:
Miss Laura M. Murphy, Sampson.
" Susan E. Rhodes,
" M. E. Ireland. "
" O. J. Ireland, "
" V. M. Faison, "
The. following young ladies received Diplomas:
Miss Rowena M. Lee, Clinton.
" S. A. Oates, "
" M. E. Beaman, "
" C. M. Pugh, Sampson.
An address was delivered on the occasion by
George V. Strong, Esq., of Goldsborongh,
which is spoken of as strikingly appropriate.
While in Clinton, wc saw a mammoth Crcoi
r.F.R which was raised by Alfred Johnson, Esq ,
of that place. It measured five (5) feet one
inch in length, and 9 inches in circumferance.
We walked from one end to the other of the
"critter," and know what we speak. Beat it
who can.
The crops, in the sections through which we
passed, look very promising, but rain is much
needed in some neigborhouds.
A man named Sellers, an inmate of the alms
house of Sampson, went fishing last week, and
failing to return in due time, search was made,
which resulted in finding him drowned. The
deceased was subject to fits, and it is supposed
he lost his life in consequence of an attack of
his disease, causing him to fall into the water.

From the Argus' report of the disens
this place between Gov. Bragg and Mr
filer, it is fair to infer that Gov. Bragg's
remarks had much more "weight" with the peo
ple than Mr Gilmer's. The proof that they
did will be furnished on the 7th of August.
JtetT" The communication of "A Whig," which
we have received through the hands of our
neighbor of the Observer, contains many senti
ments which we heartily endorse they are not
"too much tinctured with democracy" for us:
but we decline publishing the article on account
of certain personal allusions which the writer
makes to a citizen of this county- To our
readers we will state, that the communication
in question is from the pen of an old line whig,
,vho has come to the determination to support
Mr Buchanan, giving his reasons at length and
with much force of argument, for the course
which he intends to pursue, lie gives know
liothingism "fits."
Conc.rf.ss. In the Senate, on the IGth inst.,
Mr Brown, from the Committee of the District,
reported in favor of retroceding Georgetown to
Maryland.
Mr Jones made a speech on the three million
armament bill, contending that the appropria
tion was necessary to place the country in a
proper state of defence. It was a peace not a
war measure. There was not ammunition
ou the whole Pacific coast to fire ten
pounds with the guns, then in case of war there
was not enough in the whole country to fire
twenty-five pounds with all our guns.
In the House, on the 18th inst., the resolution
that Mr Allen was not entitled to a seat, was
adopted by 04 against 90, and the resolution
that Mr Archer was entitled to a seat, was
rejected by 91 against 89. Resolutions were
then passed declaring that a vacancy exists in
the 7th congressional district of Illinois, and
referring the election back to the people.
In the Senate, on Tuesday, Mr Bntler intro
duced a bill to regulate the compensation of
Senators and Representatives. It proposes to
e a salary of $3,000 at each regular ses-
d the present per diem, and 25 cents per
for travel each way. The Senate also
eurred in the House's amendment to the reso-
ution to adjourn on the 18th of August, the
latter body having previously amended the
Senate bill, so. as to adjourn as above stated.
Cak
Favkttevii.i.f. Fkmai.k High School. For
an account of the Commencement Exercises of
this flourishing Institution, we refer the reader
to an article on another page, copied from the
Observer.
Much to our regret, we were prevented by
pressing bnsiness engagements from attending
i the Examination of the Students of the School,
! '
! but wc return to the Trustees our sincere thanks
for the polite invitation which they extended
to us to be present.
The Annual Sermon, delivered by Rev.
Adam Gilchrist, was exceedingly appropriate,
and merited till the encomiums which were pro
nounced by those who had the pleasure of list
ening to the Reverend speaker.
Col. William S. Mullins' oration, we did not
hear.
The Concert was a fine entertainment, and
the performances of the pupils did honor not
only to themselves, but to their instructors.
The examination throughout, from what we
learn, was admirably sustained, giving proof of
the zeal and ability of the Faculty and the ap
plication of the students.
We understand that there has been no
serious case of sickness in the School during
the year except one, which was not owing
to local causes. This speaks well for the loca
tion of the Institution, and should remove any
objection which might be raised against it on
the score of unhealthfulncss.
J$SFThe evidence in the Herbert trial closed
on the 22d inst. A proposition from the de
fence to submit the case without argument was
objected to by the prosecution.
Steam kk Burnt Great Loss of Life. The
stcame Northern Indiana was burnt on Lake
Eric, on the 17th inst., and it is supposed that
fifty passengers lost their lives by rushing over
board. The fire originated in the wood-work
around the chimney, and in fifty minutes the
boat was burnt to the water's edge. A large
number of the passengers were rescued from
the burning boat by the steamer Mississippi.
Truly, travelling in the IT. States, whether
by rail-way or steam boat, is dangerous. Here
we have an account of the loss of fifty lives.
Add to this number those who were killed by
the rail-road collision near Philadelphia and
we have the sum total of one hundred human
beings hurried into eternity in .one day by these
two casualties alone. Something should be done,
if possible, lo remedy the terrible evils which are
constantly resulting from the carelessness and
recklessness of agents employed on the lines of
pnblic. travel in our country..
Internal. Improvement. We committe
blunder last week which we hasten to correct.
Under the head of Internal Improvement, we
gave what we stated to be an extract from Gov.
Bragg's Message to the Legislature of 1854 '5
touching that subject. Herein lies the error:
The extract referred to. was taken from GoV;
Reid's Message, and it should have been so
stated. The mistake, however, was not of
much importance, as the design which we en
tertained was simply to make known the posi
tion of Gov. Bragg and the democratic party
in relation to Internal Improvement by the
State. The sentiments contained in the extract
which we published are endorsed not only by
the democratic party, but by Gov. Bragg him
self. Below, we give an extractfrpm- Gov.
Bragg's Inaugural Address, delivered Jan.Ustjthe fact that said party North has become
1855, which conveys, lit his own language, his
views on the subject of Internal Improvement.
He says:
"There is another subject that has attracted
in a large degree, the attention of the people of
the State, and which, from its very great im
portance, deserves more than the brief notice
which I shall bestow upon it on the present
occasion. I allude to the subject of Internal
Improvement.
The natural resources of our State, in an
agricultural, mineral and commercial pointy of
view, are certainly great ; but they need the
assistance of those artificial means which the
science and capital of our dliv have so wttnrW-
folly supplied, to the end that , they may .be
unproved and developed, l liese are facts about
which all will agree, while there may be some
difference of opinion as to the extent to which
the State should embark in a system of Rail
road improvements, especially at this time.
Wild and visionary schemes should at all times
be discouraged, and especially now; we have
seen the evil effects of such enterprises in other
States of the Union, where millions have been
irretrievably sunk in unproductive works of the
kind, and which has tended in no little degree,
to produce the present disastrous condition in
the monetary affairs of the country.
But fortunately for North Carolina, though
the financial wave which has spread from the
great commercial centre of the Union, has not
left her unharmed, yet her public debt is com
paratively small, and entirely within her means;
her credit is unimpaired, her currency in a
sound though necessarily contracted condition,
and the great mass of her people comparatively
free from debt and unembarrassed in their cir
cumstances. While, therefore, the present derangement in
the business and monetary concerns of the
the country counsels ns to the exercise of a
proper prudence and caution, it should not, in
my. opinion, prevent the prosecution of a liberal
system of improvement, and especially the com
pletion of our great central work, and its fur
ther extension East and West, as rapidly as
may be consistent with the means, the ability
and the credit of the State.
It must be admitted by all that the present
financial revulsion, brought about as it has
been, mainly bv the extravagance, recklessness,
and in some cases dishonesty of individuals and
corporations in other sections of th

J6? The Philadelphia Ledger mentions a
rumor that it is the intention of the supporters
of Mr Fillmore in Pennsjlvania, and the
friends of Fremont, each to have an electoral
ticket, but that the same names will be upon
both tickets, and will be so arranged by trans
position, that the tickets cast by the respective
friends of the two candidates will be known
one from the other. Then, whichever ticket
has the most votes, the candidate for whom it
is cast will receive the electoral vote oD the
whole. It is by such foul means as this that
the combined elements of know-nothingism and
black republicanism are striving to defeat Mr.
Buchanan in Pennsylvania, and we hope every
fair minded Southern man will note the fact.
The points of difference between the know-nothing
parties of the North are hardly as percep
tible as the shade of a shadow, and in one par
ticular, at least, they perfectly agree with each
other, namely, that no sacrifices shall be want
ing on the part of cither organization to defeat
the Democracy. Know-nothingism in that
section is ready, at any moment, to unite its
forces with black republicanism, and it will do

No citance for Mr Fillmore. The Rich
mond Enquirer, replying to an article in the
Richmond Whig, says:
" With the except ion of IVew York, Fillmore
has not an electoral tic.rt in a single Northern
Slate. We make this assertion on the best
authority; and if the Whig doubts its correct
ness, we invite contradiction Now, how can
the Know-Nothing candidate get an electoral
vote without an electoral ticket ? Will the
Whig please explain? The fact is, the know
nothing party of the North is merged and lost
in the black-republican fusion; and Fillmore's
friends, in failing to nominate an electoral

A Monster Locomotive. We saw, a few
days since, at the Baltimore and Ohio Rail
road depot in this city, an engine which is said
to be the largest in the United States. It was
built by Mr Ross Winans, at his shop in Balti
more, and is named Centipede. Its size, as near
as we could learn, is, that it has 12 wheels 44
inches in diameter, 22 inch stroke, 11 feet fire
box, and weighs 33 tons. This engine has
been built as an experimental one, to test the
practicability of drawing a train of six pas
senger cars up the heavy grades upon this road
(of which some are 117 feet to the mile) at the
iAate of 25 miles per hour. It is said that this
monster is capable of accomplishing it with ap

Horrible Affair and "Lynch Law." A
man, named Ray, was suspected of having
poisoned the spring at the school house in
Morgan county, Mo., whereby the schoolmaster
and nearly all the pupils were poisoned, two
or three of whom have died, and seven or eight
others cannot survive. Ray was arrested and
made his escape that same night, but was
re-taken next day in Hickory county, and
brought back on the 6th inst. Next day, he
was tried by "mob law," sentenced, and hanged,
protesting his inuocense to the last.
A correspondent of the Richmond Inquirer
says the prisoner being allowed to speak,
commenced as follows :
'Gentlemen and honorable citizens of Morgan
comity and State of Missouri, I come not to
plead for mercy. I am an innocent man. I
don't come before you with a darkened forehead,
or a downcast eye.- I come determined to die
brave, audi shall die without a tear in my eye.
Gentlemen, take care of my poor wife and
children, and see that they have plenty to cat
and wear."
He looked up at the limb, and not a muscle
of his face quiyered. He only spoke twenty
minutes, and had ten minutes more; he asked to
pray during that time and said: "I will not
keep you long, gentlemen, and if I am a minute
or two over my time, I hope yon will excuse
