obtained in making and repairing jewelry and fancy
articles, bought ut the North, which when brought oui
toiue bouth is sold for Gold and Silver at a large
price, when the real fact of the case is, they are made
up of plated sheet metal, tilled with lead, and sealing
wdx. These are tacts not commonly known to the
public, but they are no less truths that can be proveu
by calling any time at the manufactory, and examin
ing the yankee jewelry. I never intend to sell Northern
Jewelry again but will continue to manufacture Gold
and .silver ware for sale and to order. Gentlemen
an.l Ladies tail have articles made to their own style
an-i taste ot Gold not less than fourteen earrots and
& iver of the same quality as Spanish Dollars. My
reason tor confining myself to a certain standard in
ttic Crold and Silver is, I intend to manufacture noth
ing out a superior quality of goods, and will sell the
same at as low figures as purchasers would have to
pay tor them at the North.

FAYETTEVILLE, N. U.
SATURDAY MORNING, JUNE 4.
Kditorial Correspondence.
"Wilmington, May 27th. ,
Dear Carolinian : Here we are after the most
pleasant trip imaginable down the Cape Fear River.
-n leaving r ayetteville it was not expected by our-
selves that we should en ov the trip down the River,
, . '
not hav,nS any acquaintances to accompany us
but we must confess that after an hour had been

adding to nnr romnanv onr friend R. M Orrell. who
we uau me extreme pleasure tiL.
L J i 'I
is a perfect host in himself, so far as agreeableness 1
, ,
is concerned, and who, with Mr Collins, made the
time fly merrily over. By the way we have always
thought Mr O. a pleasant gentleman, and we were
always surprised that though so great a favorite
amongst the ladies he has not taken to himself one
of the daughters of the children of men.
Our friend E. L. Pemberton, Esq., was very pleas
ant and jovial, indeed, as well he might be, for cer
tainly he has exhibited to the world two necessary
qualifications, viz : his good taste and sound judg
ment in selecting an intelligent and agreeable part
ner in this life. M'e were indeed sorry that we had
not the good luck to have the acquaintance of Mrs
P. before she changed her name. Ve arrived at Wil
mington at 0 P. M. and proceeded to the Carolina
Hotel which is one of the best houses in the State,
having an agreeable Landlord and very excellent ac
commodations. Mr and Mrs P. took, the cars this
P. M. at 4 o'clock for the North, we can do no more
than wish them a happy and pleasant bridal touri
and many happy days of peace comfort and pleasure.
This morning we called upon our friend Mr Fulton
of the Journal, he is an agreeable gentleman full of
pleasantly and wit.
Mr Burr, of the Herald, is a fine young man, (we
mean tlx Junior, for we had but little talk with
tbo Senior). Mr Burr accompanied us around
town to see the new Town Hall, find other public
buildings, which are indeed, very fine, and an
honor to the town and State.
Simmons, who was convicted of murderinsr bis
nephew, was banged to-day in this place
The Rev.
Mr Repiton made a fcelin" and
1 0
ing and impressive address
upon the occasion. When Simmons appeared on the
gallows he was quite calm and collected ; he turned to
the vast assembly and said that he was guilty of the
crime it was committed in the heat of passion ; he
had gone to God 10 receive forgiveness, and he be
lieved he was pardoned through the blood of Christ
He then bid adieu to the Sheriff, and th:j gallows was
left to himself: lie stood there Cuba n . o!:e. r-r7

at last the fatal drop fell, he uttered a low groan as-
he felt the planks pass from under him. He died

The Wilmington Light Infantry, a'd the German
Volunteers, attended the execution.
Sneaking of Military, we were srlad to learn that
1 T . , , , , . , .
. the Lai-ayttle Cornet Band had been invited to go to
Chapel Hill, accompanying the body-guard of the
President. Satisfactory arrangements have been
made, and it is expected that on Monday, the Band
will meet the Company at Warsaw. We trust the
Baud will make it convenient to attend. S.
Wilmin-gtox, May 30, 1859.
Dear Carolinian : By the heading of my letter
it will be seen that Wilmington agrees with me.
I have made a considerable delay in this town, and
have enjoyed the hospitable society of the citizens
and brothers of the quill. On yesterday morning
I was agreeably surprised to find the name of Maj.
Brantly apon the hotel record, he having arrived
t arly in the morning from his South Carolina trip.
The Major is u jolly fellow, and makes good com
pany. We learned from him that a whole family
consisting of nine were poisoned in Newburg, S. C.,
, , T , , , .
lns?t week- Tt was the w,,rk of a m'Sro Cok
stigated and prompted to the commission of the
i 1 .1 A vt c 1
ff,'UC throuSh th instrumentality of a white
uian, a mechanic living in the place. The reason
for committing this offence, is not known.
On yesterday morning I went to hear the Rev.
Mr. Grier ; ho preached a most excellent sermon
from the words, 1 am not mad, most noble Festus."
! It was an able discourse, evincing a keenness of
I perception and power of concentration seldom met
! with.
The Hattie Hart arrived here about noon having
on board Messrs. Roberts, Banks, Dodd and Arey,
of the LaFayette Cornet Band ; also, Mr. Bariiiim,
of our town, and Messrs. Norment and McQueen,
of Lumberton. Although my absence fromTajT
etteville has not been lengthy, retl was more than
ordinarily pleased to meet these gentlemen. They
are making preparations at present to leave on the
3 o'clock train for Weldon to meet the President.
The returns from the Virginia elections show an
Imposition gain. Letcher is no doubt elected, but
the position of some of the Democratic papers in
that State was the cause of his running so poorly.
This can be seen by the vote given to Mr. Montague
for Lieutentant Governor. He will be far before
Mr. Letcher in numbers. This would be unaccoat
able only for the fact that the Richmond Enquirer
abused Mr. Letcher previous to his nomination and
fairly charged him with Abolitionism. Of course
it was from personal motives either positively in
favor of some other, or opposed to him.
The Convention of Columbus and Bladen coun
ties held here the other day, was of course a fizzle,
and like good Democrats (?) they got miffed because
they could not do vrhat they had tried to do: You
have no doubt seen the card containing their senti
ments. The Brunswick county delegation was here,
but refused to go in with the other two, from the
fact that the other counties were ncit represented.
The delegates from New Hanover were not even se
lected, consequently, the result was the assembling
of Columbus and Bladen alone. As to the result of
this matter I do not know. It could not prove very
disastrous, from the fact that Bladen herself is di-
vicktl repoctir: ilr. Willow, aad I presume that

The French Emperor and G-eneval.
The following criticism of the military talents of
Louis NTapoleon, by a distinguished Frenchman will in the rear from Russia, but not sufficiently to dis
be interesting at this time. j turb France by any demonstration on the Rhine.
In the political -.affairs of his Government Xapo-
L 1
! Icon has proved himself the ablest man in Europe,
a full match for the whole British Cabinet. Only
twice in the whole history of the Kingdom has
France ever attained to the power and influence
wielded by her ruler now, and is certainly to be more
feared by the world than any other power.
Louis Napoleon is entitled to the credit of this, if
he was a Police Captain in Xcw York or an English i
Constable :
Let us also say a few words as to Louis
Napoleon's military genius. All we know
about it, is his plan in the last Russian war.
It will be remembered that he and his faithful
General in Chief, Arnaud, made the phi 14 of the
attack in the Crimea, and that it was supposed
by them that Sevastopol could be taken by a
Coup de main. Omar Pasha before, single
handed, repeatedly defeated the Russian aitny.
The Allies had only to follow the glorious w:.y
which Omar Pasha had already paved for them,
and thus conquer, in less than three months, all
Poland and all South Russia. But by Napo
leon's plan, the allies wasted their forces in the
well known inhospitable Crimea. France h -t,
according to its war ministers's report, not less
than 161,000. 314,000 were sent to the Crimea,
and 146,000 men were loft, at the end of the
war. It is well for the servile admirer of Na
poleon to consider him a truly great man, but
we may be permitted to doubt that a great
man would have appointed such an iidventurer
j as'General Arnaud was, to the Chief command,
and agree with him on such a j
dan,
and would

Coup de JMnin. Sevastopol was finally taken, !
and Napoleon was confirmed hi his greatness ;
by all his servile admirers, who are till Brut uses i
and honorable men. We must ask pardon if;
we take a different view of Napoleon's great-1
ness from the general one. We may be totally
wrong in doing so, but it will not do any In
m
to have it expressed on this occasion.
Napoleon, like his uncle, strongly believing
in fate, one would be inclined to conclude lie
cause his uncle's glory ended in Russia, where
the nephew's commenced, that the nephew's
glory had also to end where his uncle's com
menced ; that is, in Italy. A man knows what
he is, but he does not know irhal he ic 11 Icmvie,

have failed ft? epnoint IX-legates to confer with us
at the said time and piece, and we have, therefore,
to report to you, brother Democrats of Columbus,
that we can present no name as the choice of th'.s
District for your suffrages. Having thus been
disappointed of carrying out your instructions, we
return to you our delegated authority, and call

Is your horse perfectly gentle Mr Tcl'y ? Per;
fectly gentle, sir. The only fault he has got if that
be a fault is a playful habit of extending his hin
der hoofs now and them By extending his hinder
hoofs, you don't mean kicking, I hope? Some peo
ple call it kicking, Mr Green, but it is only a slight
reaction of the muscles a disease rather than a vice.
If we were as careful to polish our manners as
our teeth, to make our temper as sweet bur breath, to
cut off our faults as pair our nails, to be upright in
character as in person, to shave our souls as to shave

The L-ate Duel at Mobile.
The New Orleans Courier says of the late fatal
duel at Mobile: Mr. II. C. Tick, who so unfortun
ately lost his life in this affair, was a young man of
line aceeiripHshtner.ts and excellent prospect.
He
was but twenty-four years of age, the son of Col.
Vick, of Deer Creek, Mississippi, belonging to one
of the wealthiest and most influential families in that

they found themselves together in a billiard saloon
in this city. A gentleman ottered te introduce Mr.
Vick to Mr. Stith, when the latter declined the in
troduction. Mr. Tick demanded his reason for this
refusal, and Mr. Stith replied that he did not con
sider him a gentleman. Mr Vick here retorted harsh
ly, upon which Mr. Stith struck him in the face.
Mr Vick then drew a revolver and attempted to fire,
when the two were parted and arrangements imme
diately effected for a hostile meeting.
Mr. Stith, accompanied by Messrs. Meraran and
i Cheatam, his seconds, and Mr. Vick, with Mr Dick-
erson ana v ol. iocki i tge, wno were 10 acL ior mm,
then went over to Mobile, and on the morning of the
27th, at 11 o'clock, they met on the Fashion Race
Course, near that" city." The weapons were rides,
and the distance 40 paces. Mr. Vick tired at the
word one, and Mr. Stith just before the word two.
The ball from the rifle of the latter entered Mr.
Vic k's head, immediately beneath his left eye, and
pa.ed comp'etHv through. He fell, and was dead
before his seconds caught him.

Early Wheat. This morning we received the

filled with large and plump grains :

The plant from which it was tken has matured

browner, but thev would probably have shattered.
The plant would have matured in April, but for the
