BY C. TOLEH WOLFE. Mine horse is shloped, and I'm avraid He hash been dakji, or stolen, or shfcray Mine pig pluck horse dat loooks so spiny, 'Pout fourteen odcr twelve hands high. He has peen got shust lour feets plack, Mit shtriped spots all down his pack, Two legs pefore and two pehind Peshure you keep all dis in mind. He's plack all over, da, is true, All but his vace, and dat's plack too; He drots and ganters, vaux and paces, And outvorks Pelzebub in draces; And ven he gallops in der shtreet, He vaux upon his legs and feet ; Von leg goes down and den de oder, Und always follows von anoder; He has dwo ears shtuck 'pon his head, Bote of dem's neider white nor red, But bote alike, shnst von, you see, Ish placker den de oder pe; He's got two eyes dat looks von vay, Only he lost vou toder day. And ven you vish to dake a ride, Shump on his back on tuddcr side, And it is shust as gospel drue, De eve vat's plind vill not see you. His dail's pehind him long and shleek, Only I cut him off last week, And derefore 'tis not any more As half so longer as pelore. He cocks his ear and looks so gay, And vill not shtart and run away; But ven he's scar't. he make vou shpring, And shnmps about like every ding; He rides apout mit shaiz aud cart, I never see such horse for shniart; And sometimes he go on de road, Mitout nobody for his load, But pag of corn, and takes de track. Mit little poy upon his pack. Mine horse is not so very old, Not haffso young as ven he's foaled, Und ven he gallop, rear or shump, His head come ait pefore him plump, ; And den his dail goes all pehind, Put sometimes, ven he takes a mind, Gets mad and durns all round, pe shure, vy den his dail goes all pefore. ' WtlOever vill mine plack horse got," Shall pay ten dollars on de shpot, And if he brings der tief alive, Vy den he pays me twenty-five, Mitout no questions ax'd py me, By mine advertisement you'll see, I live out here by Schneider Gap, Near Schtofflefunk's. Gen. Jackson. Andrew Jackson was once making a stump speech out west, in a small vil lage. Just as he was concluding, Amos Ken dall, who sat behind him, whispered "Tip 'em a little Latin General they won't be satisfied without it." ' v .

In the biography of him published in the New York Tribune, is the following. , fc. "On one occasion he had a leg and foot frozen.

Owing to the late heavy rains, and the con sequent obstuction of the mails throughout the neighboring counties, we have been unable to get full returns as to the precincts, before the hour, of going to pres. We can only give our readers returns from the counties heard from up to this hour. That the state has given Buch anan a largely increased vote over that for I5ragS s conceded on all hands. Where we VJ have lost in one county, lare gains in another Vamply off set the loss. Sampson has eraiued v5 oyer the vote for Bragg. We have lost , mewhat in Cumberland. In Harnett there is a small falling off from the aggregate vote. In Robeson we gain largely. Moore and Chatham show a comparative loss. 100 gain in Wake. Small loss in Richmond so far as heard from. In the State elections, Virginia has gone for Buchanan by a larger vote than wa3 polled for Pierce. Tennessee, the land of Brownlow and Donelson, hero and sage, gone for Buehanau Georgia for Buchanan by an unprecedented majority. Florida, Kentucky Alabama, Louis iana, and perhaps Maryland, all for Buchanan. No news from the Northern States up to the time of our going to press. It is reported by Telegraph that Fremont has carried New York. Kenneth llayner's advice has been followed in Pennsylvania, and the know nothings fused with the Black Republicans. GldJ7G in5G. Mathew Powers, sr., living on the Big marsh in Robeson county voted for George Washing ton the first president of the U. S. and for James Buchanan the President elect. He has three sons and seven grandsons with him, all of whom voted the Democratic ticket; one son-in-law and four grand sons in Alabama, and one son in Texas. The whole of this family, descended from a revolutionary sire, are anti Know Nothings. All honor to the noble old hero, who has given his country such efficient testimonials of his patriotism. "Love's Labor Lost." After all the fussing and fuming; the rally ing, tar burning, illuminations, trausparancies. speechifying and other humbuggery, our poor dilapidated, demolished, devastated, done up know nothings failed, signally to increasa their jniajority in Fayetteville on Tuesday. Notwith standing the fact that fifteen or twenty Demo cratic voters were absent from the town and county; notwithstanding the fact that all the carriages, buggies, barouches, waggons, carts and drays, in town, were put in requisition by the Filliiiourners; the rag tag aud bobtail car ressed, ridden about, drenched with stagger juice, led carried and driven to the polls, while the Democrats scarce lifted a finger yet in spite of all this they failed, by several votes, in getting the majority they polled in August last. Two years ago, less than two years, the K. N. majority at this precinct was two hundred and seventy-four. In August last it was seven ty-nine; now it is seventy-seven. "Small by de grees and beautifully less" it is becoming, until with their gods and leaders, Rayner, Stockton Botts and Donelson, they descend into that oblivion whence they emerged. As we feared, the Democracy, too confident in their strength and relying upon the prestige of former success in the general result, were too listless and care less as to the election here. Had one half the energy been displayed by them, which charac terized the k. n's, we should have decreased their majority to a mere cypher and perhaps conquered them in their own stronghold. As it is we may almost consider it a victory. "At two of our late Democratic assem blages, we were greatly pleased with speeches by two young gentlemen, who we hope will not think hardly of us for paying them a well de served compliment, They are both modest, unassuming young men, and had they not "hid den their light beneath a bushel" np to this time, the Democracy would have brought them forth long ago. The speech of Mr v n iLlam upon the occasion nfnnr t .-: - ijik iinauij was a most eloquent and admirable argument and appeal. His address would have done honor to a much older head, and credit to a much more experienced speaker. In fact, putting his youth inexperience and limited advantages entirely out of the question, our young friend made a truly admirable .-peech. On Monday night, at the grand rally of the Fayetteville democracy me iuic aascmoiage was delighted with an oqnent and stirring address from Mr John T..ll J .1. - 1 . el B xunet, anu me nearty and repeated which greeted the speaker throughout marks, testified to their appreciation masterly effort. cheers his re of his Both young gentlemen are pursuing their studies preparatory to entrance upon the legal profession and combining, as they do, princi ples of high moral integrity with talents, indus try and commendable ambition, we predict for them a tutnre traught with honor to themsel Ives and usefulness to their country. We commend the subjoined lament of a political loafer to the perusal of our friends, whose pockets the late election has lightened: Ven I thinks of vot I lost, And vot I hoped to vin; I thinks that by my hopes I vos Oudaciously tuk in. Raleigh, N. C, Not. 6, 1856. Dear Sir: Our wires have been down until to-day. We have' jnst received a dispatch: Buchanan carries Pennsylvania, Nevi Jersey, Illi nois. Indiana, Louisiana, Kentucky, and of coarse all the other southern States except Maryland, which goes foe Fillmore. New York and all the New England States for Fremont. Returns from Ohio and Wiscon sin are favorable for the Democrat. Democrats gain eleven Congresmen in New lork. Buchanan is gain ing in this State, especially West. BLADEN: Buchanan 134 ahead and 4 counties to hear from, which will not change the result. MOORE: Buchanan 440: Fillmore 489. 550 votes less polled than in August. Bolts and Ravner. These two worthies, preferring the applause and countenance ot tne isiacK repuoucau ora tors and presses of the North to the respect and confidence of their fellow citizens South, have lately written letters and made speeches such as have never before disgraced Southern men and outraged Southern feeling. They are political Iscariots whom the people will save the trouble of banging themselves. High upon a moral gibbet they will hang before the eyes of the world, and the creaking 6 their chains will be the only echo to their names. We clip the folio wiug from the Raleigh Standard : "Mr Rayner attributes the slavery agitation mainly to the South. He has no denunciations for Seward, and Wilson, and Greely, and Sum ner, and Itaymond, and Burnugame. He says the "knaves and blockheads" of the south the "contemptible party hucksters'" of the south, who "could be bought by any abolitionist at the North, any day in the year, for much, less than . i i - . . ine price oi au ordinary negro," are tne ones who are to blame for this agitation. and he adds, speaking of bis owu section, as well as of the country generally, that in the "bubbling and boiling of the waters of strife, the very froth and Kcum of the social elements are floating ou the surface." In relation to the election of Fremont, Mr Rayner says: "In reply to your second inquiry, whether the South ern people seriously contemplate a dissolution of the union, m case i remont snoula be elected! 1 answer io ! emphatically No ! The masses of he Southern people, wether Whigs, Americans, or Democrats, are devoted to the Union; and they will maintain and de fend it at the hazard of their lives, aud the expenditure oi ineir oeineans' oiooa." Aud so he advises the Northern people not to be alarmed at the prospect of Fremont's electiou, and urges them to unite, "without re- iereuce to tne uiuererence or opinion on mere abstract questions," to defeat the Democratic party. He concludes his letter as follows: 'If all those who are opposed to slavery agitation who think that the Pierce-liuchanan party deserve to be rebuked for their having brought the country to its present unhappy condition, will mnite cordtully tn the support of the SAME TICKET, our country may yet be saved, and peace and calm aud sunshine will return to our border. But if they allow ditter ences ou MINOR QUESTIONS to mar their concert and to paralyze their" energies, awful may be the con sequences which they will entail upon their country.', And the New York Times, one of the aboli tion organs, pays Mr Rayner the following compliment: Lettek from a Tkce Southern Patriot. We publish, this morning, a letter from Hon Kenneth Rayner, of N. Carolina, to a distin guished whig Politician of Pennsylvania, in re lation to the proposed fusion of all conservative parties of that state to defeat the Bnchaniers. Mr Rayner is decidedly in favor of fusion, and scouts at the idea of the south going for disun ion in the event of the electiou of Fremout. He regards the defeat of Buchanan as the first duty of all Union-loving and conservative men, aud recommends his Whig and American friends to forget all minor considerations for the sake of accomplishing this object. This letter of Mr Rayner is a manly rebuke to the timid dough faces of the North, who ore trem bling in their shoes lest the defeat of Buchanan shall so exasperate Bully Brooks and other Chevaliers of his kidney down south that they will destroy the Union. Mr Rayner knows these Southern braggarts too well to stand in any fear of their bluster." Here, then, are Mr Rayuer's allies; and not content with writiug a letter for their benefit, he has visited Philidelphia to speak for them in person. The Times of that city, a Fremont paper, contains the report o, his speech on Friday night last, headed "The eloquent Ken neth Rayner on the stand," "sentiments of a southern slaveholder." That paper also com pliments him in high terms. Democratic Pyramid.

Botts and Rayner supposed to be implicated. The Pennsylvauian came to us yesterday, with the details of the most villainous scheme of po litical fraud that has ever disgraced the annals of our civil history. Three or more columns of that paper are de voted to its exposure, and that of the parties implicated; the names of the men (some of them promineut citizens) the persons bribed and at tempted to be bribed; the amounts collected from various quarters for the purpose of baying rotes, furnishing revolvers, &c, fcc, to be used upon the day, of election. Fortunately for the Democrats and the conn try, these startling disclosures were made upon the day preceding the election; the scheme frus trated; the guilty parties, or most of them, ar rested and lodged in prison, and this vile con spiracy against the peace of the community and country exposed, with its authors and abettors. The Black republicans, not content with every species of lying, misrepresentation and cheating, to advance the cause of Fremont; not content with having swindled and cajoled the poor, silly, short-sighted know-nothings into a fusion with them; not witiafied with having bought southern men over (perdition seize the traitorous wretches) to countenance the fusion and combination to defeat democracy have, as the last effort, the grand coup d? etat, made a golden sword with which to hew down the ranks of the Democracy. One Botts, supposed to be the veritable John M. himself, has been arrested among others, and every day is bringing to light the implication of prominent men in this abominable scheme. Money wasdistributed in reckless profusion ; thou sands of dollars offered to active electioneering hands, by some accepted and by others rejected ; revolvers and knives purchased by dozens and placed in the hands of reckless desperadoes; the clerks of the polls sought to be bribed, and, in short, every conceivable effort made that in genious villainy could concoct and desperate determination effect, to defeat the Democrats in the city and State. Gold, steel,' powder, lead, "bleeding Kansas" and "Americans shall rule America" were the weapons to be uted. Yet this was the fusion which " Carolina's favorite son," as the New York Herald terms him, exhorted the "Ameri- cans" of Pennsylvania to form in order to de feat the enemies of bigotry, intolerance and fa naticism, the sound, conservative, national Democratic party. Kenneth Rayner, not satis fied with writing an urgent exhortation to the Know Nothings north to fuse and combine with the Freraonters, must needs make a pil grimage to the shrine of Black republicanism, and there lift np his voice and pray that this unholy coalition might be successful. We heard an intelligent gentleman of our town, a mem ber of the "American party," say yesterday. that Kenneth Rayner ought not to be permitted to enter North Carolina again. Such is our own opinion.

They will even pave their court yards, palaces and even the streets or market places of their villages or towns with the skulls of those butchered in the wars, at feasts, funer. als, or at sacrifices to Bossum. ?When Ada- bausen died, two hundred and eignty oi njs wives were butchered before the arrival of his successor, which put a stop to it, only to increase the flow of blood and the number of deaths in other ways. The remaining living wives were buried alive, amid dancing, singing, and bewailing, the noise of muskets, horns, drums, yells, groaus and screeches. The victims were marched along with large knives passed through their bheeks. The exe cutioners struggle for the bloody ofifice, while the yictims look on and endure with apathy. "Upon the death of the king's brother, four thousand lives were thus sacrificed. Upon the death of a king of Ashantee, a general massa- ere takes place, ana mere can ue no cuujpui. tion of the number of victims. At their Yam customs, Mr Bowditch (another Englishman) witnessed a horrible sigh$. Every cabocer, or noble, sacrificed a slave, as hp entered the gate. Heads and skulls formed the ornaments in their procession. The blood of the victims is. collected and quaffed as a delicious beverage. The King of Dahomy paves the approaches to, his palace and the battlements of his castles with the skulls of his victims and the great Fetchie Tree at Bodagra has its wide spread branches laden with human carcasses and limbs."
