FetteVille, May 1&, . w-lf Oct, 16,1858 tf- FAYETTEVILLE, N. C. WEVSESDAY BOftlMC, JANUARY 4, I860. FOUL DECEIT. A correspondent of the Raleigh Register styled , Gaston," writing from Washington, labors with more zeal than honesty, to implicate the democratic party in the defeat of the organization of the House, j party ! oh no it would not be reasonable to sup It is needless to add that the whole correspondence pose that smaller bodies like the Democracy could j wise iwpwp to ueceive me reaaers oi me lie- AiBfd nrA irn 4-1 nr , r ' In .a.. II . An. A. " uun ma iiuui wui ub lusi uuuu me judgment of the intelligent and sage editor of that PPr. His first misrepresentation is in regard to the tauure to vote tor John A. Gilmer, of Guilford, but as he refers to this in another charge, we will pass j this one by for the present, and notice it in turn. ; His next charge is in regard to the failure to vote for Mr. Boteier, of Va. His remarks upon Mr. Winslow, ot this District, aitd; Pryof, of Vr re purile and weak, and will only tend to strengthen both of these gentlemen amongst their constituents. Mr. Winslow remarked in a caucus meeting that he would rather vote for an anti-Lecompton Democrat than a Southern Opposion man, and was he right ? Not only do the Southern Opposition embody the odium of being anti-Lecompton, but in every other respect they are anti-Democratic. The former are wholy democratic and national with the exception of their opposition to the Lecompton constitution, and of course of two evils Mr Winslow would be jus tified in choosing the least. The bickering of the Know Nothing correspondent is, however, of no weight, so far as Mr. W. is concerned, for his act in this instance, we believe has strengthened him one hundred fold with the party in this district. The northern Democrats could not possibly vote for a southern opposition man, because it would be a, severance of all party ties and would be a com plete surrender of their principles. We speak of this knowingly, not many years since, when Polock was the nominee of the K. N. party in Pennsylva nia, and Bigler the Democratic nominee, Polock was elected by ten to fifteen thousand majority. At that time, the national democrats had to fight the demon of miss-named "Americans" and manfully did they do it, until not a root or branch of that unjust or ganization was left ; but no sooner had they con quered the monster than from its shrivled bones sprang up another organization which adopted the name of " Republicans" appropriately denominated Black. That party is but the majority of the Know Nothing party of the North, so that although they battled against a thing of a different name it is really but the substance of the Know Nothing party of '54 against which they had to battle so fiercely. Now the Southern Opposition is really the K. N.'s and did they vote for one of them it would be a complete surrender of every thing they have already zation which is destructive to every principle of i berty and equality. Of course then we say that it is perfectly natural to see northern democrats re fuse to vote lor Southern Know Nothings. We say let them adopt any other policy. AVe do not ask them to vote lor a southern Opposition man while they have good anti-Lecompton and national men of their own creed. This 11 Gas ton" correspondent says that after Mr Bocock withdrew from the contest that Mr. Bo teier only received some scattering Democratic votes never more than twenty. The incorrect statement of Gaston would be corrected by adding four to twenty, and not only that, but the Democrats pledged themselves to vote for Mr. Boteier if he could carry his own party vote. He failed to do this by some five votes and he was gradually relin quished by his own party, Mr. Gilmer, of North Carolina, casting his vote against him and in favor of Briggs, of New York, ou the third ballot. So much for that portion of Gas-ton's letter. He says again that the opposition were willing to vote for a Democrat could he be elected, resolved to nomtnate General Milson, of Va., and that twelve southern Opposition men voted for him. Wonder ful disclosure the whole of twelve and what was ' the result? Mr Milson received the whole democrat ic vote with the exception of two and these two would have voted for him immediately upon the next ballot seeing his strength and then the re sponsibility of defeating the organization would rest at the doors of the anti-Lecompton Democrats, and they would not dare to brave the indignation of their constituents by voting for Sherman, or re fusing to organize by casting their votes for Milson. Dreading such a result, however, al! the southern Opposition with the exception of three or four left Mr. Milson on the second ballot. Amongst those who did not vote for Mr. Milson was John A. Gil mer, of Guilford, whom " Gaston" says we could have elected, And wherefore did we not elect him? We w.ll endeavor to satisfy our readers that they had good grounds. When Mr. Harris, of Maryland, nominated Mr, G. Mr. Bennett of Kentucky, said that if the Democrats were to vote for Mr. Gilmer he would not get the 36 Opposition votes for when the Black Republicans would see a possibility of de feting Sherman, they would not vote for Mr. Gil mer. This was done to test the Blacks'as well as Mr. Gilmer. Judge the surprize of the Democrats when they found such men as Thadics Stephens voting for Mr. Gilmer. It needs but to give the history of two of the Blacks who voted for Mr. G. to show that it was proper for the Democrats to decline voting for him. These men are the repre sentatives of the 21st and 22d districts of Pennsyl vania, known as the Pittsburg district Robert Mc Knight, who represents a constituency composed of half of Allegheny and all of Butler counties, where the Black Republicans have a majority of between four and five thousand. J. K. Morehead, who re presents the city of Pittsburg and the residue of Allegheny Co., where the majority for the aboli tionists exceeds 5,000 and which was carried by Fremont by over that number. REMOVAL. Our Office has been removed from the old stand to a building on Green Street, next floor to Mrs. Banks, and opposite tl e Sht mwell House, where we would be glad to see all our friends, and espe cially those who Jare in arrears for subscription. It is stated that on the 12th of Janaary the Hon Gideon J. Tuoker, Secretary of State, will resume the management of the Daily Newt, published in New York, f j CONGRESS. I We have been thinking that we would send for a ! stereotyp ed head like the following : " No Speake i yet," for it seems we will have thus to record for the whole session of Congress. It is not expected that so few democrats as are in Congress could pos ' sibly bring to their support that mighty Opposition attract so large a body as tue boutnern Americans, i I - . Z . I - I 1 1 1 . I j 1 - . consequently, il is iu uc supposeu mat, iqe inirty ; three Democrats in Congress will stick out until ney rum the country I. As amatter oi course it the opposition oppose all union upon a candidate for the purpose of organization, their act would not injure ! their constituents certainly not; dear souls, they . cent above the amount which they say the Demo crats forced into their pockets? ' : - To com down to plainalk," we believe that bo fore this w eek will have ended, a Speaker wrill be elected. Now it may be asked, who will be elected? We are no prophet, but believe our words will come true, and we now state that from aM appearances, Sherman will be elected. In view of this fact, what is it best for the South to do ? Can she be compel led to accept of Sherman and submit quietly and peacefully to his election ? Looking at it from a point where it has really been placed, from the as pect which it has assumed, we must say that it will be a humiliation equal to the election of Seward as President. If the South can bear the one, she will be expected to bear the other, and of course she must hold her peace in the latter case, for threats nearly as boisterous as those made against the elec tion of Seward or his co-adjutors, have been made with reference to .the election of Sherman as Speaker. One thin j drink and refresh their hearts, at this pure and m is certain, although it might be con- ! vigorating fountain of patriotism. If aught were sidered a violent and ultra measure, do believe that the South, in a body, ought to protest against Sherman taking his scat. And why ? Because, after it was made apparent that this man had en dorsed sentiments which would carrv murder and death to the door of every Southern man, the Black J Kepubhcan party refused to change their candidate and take a less exceptionable man. They have sworn that Sherman, the endorser of the Helper book will be Speaker at all events; and this is done, and is so declared in their speeches, because they are determined to force the South into their meas ures. With a daring and determination worthy of a better cause, they heap insult upon insult, upon the South, and defy us to measures of self-preservation The election of Sherman is simply the prelude to the fnnirn1 dfrrrp of thfi Soil th. When that dav comes well ' may the nation wear her weeds of mourning As j for the South, her doom is sealed. The result of j the South has made up b,er mind to permit it, she may, but has she counted the cost ? NEGRO HIRING. What are men to do for negroes unless they own banks ? They can not hire negroes at the unrea sonable prices at which they are now held. There were scarcely any put up on the block at this place on New Year's day nearly all the hiring was done by private contract. At a hiring up the country on yesterday, we learn that common hands brought as high as &1S0 and some turpentine hands brought as much as $225. We cannot account for such prices. The business done is not of so lucrative a nature as to cause the extensive raise in the prices, and for what we know it is not more valuable this year than heretofore. One thing is certain that we point deficantly 'to the North, and tell them that although they have endeavored to make the negro at the South a loosing institution, it is nevertheless patent that the more they attempt to injure negro property the more valuable will it become. Editorial Changes. The Rev. W. L. Miller, Associate Editor of the North Carolina Presbyterian in this town, has withdrawn from the management of that paper, and it will for the present be conduct ed by Rev. Geo. McNeill. The present Editor is well able to make a good paper, and we trust he may succeed in his laborious calling. The Western Democrat comes to hand this morn ing announcing the fact that its former Editor and Proprietor, W. J. Yates, has associated with him in both branches, E. A. Yates. We wish the bros. Yates success immeasurable. Their paper is too well known to require a puff at our hands. TOWN ELECTION. The election of Town Officers passed off quietly on yesterday. The vote was quite small. The fol lowing is the result : For Mayor, Arch'd McLean, 95 votes. " ' O. P. Stark, 1 " " " John P. Leonard, 1 " " " JohnD. Starr, 1 FOR COMMISSIONERS. Ward No. 1 James Sundy, 94 " " 2 M.

When we see Mr Gilmer voted for and voting with men whose doctrines we have had to oppose while a resident there both publicly and privately, we are proud and rejoiced to see national men re fuse to support him. But since Gaston has bored the readers of the Remitter with a onesided statement The Demo, crats have offered to vote for Mr Maynard of Ten nessee who was an Elector for that gentleman who wrote to the Union meeting in New York, saying " We are all opposed to slavery, We mean Mr. Fillmore ; but notwithstanding that this pledge was made ha failed to receive his own party vote, and it is certain, that no South American 'but Gilmer can get a Black Republican vote, though he receives them by the dozen. Something strange is the cause, but perhaps they bare good reasons for.their acts. 4 KLUTZ."

It will never j be forgotten by those who had the good fortune to ! hear it, till life ceases to them. The influence of : Mr. Mcljae's address upon the public mind at this juncture! cannot be too highly appreciated. The whole magnificent effort, derived a new glory from the spirit ef sublime and comprehensive partriotism, which breathed in every thought, and burned in ; every word. The young gentlemen whom he ad j dressed, may imbide from t.its speech, the purest I precepts of virtue, and be inspired to an honorable : ambition ; and the old, waaried and dishearted by the constant turmoil and selfishness of faction may 1 Iiecessary to increase tne enect oi tins trauscenuem ; that th .

Well does it demand more in justice than flattery can bestow. I wish I were capable of giving your readers any thing like a correct idea of the address, but to re ceive such an idea could only be attained from having heard it. The distinguished orator conclud ed his address amid the most hearty and well be stowed applause I ever heard. THE BEGINNING OF THE END The New York correspondent of the Charleston Mercury; under date of Dec. 22d, says : Clinton is causeii . ere Oy the paitial v; -to trade. It is felt not onlv by all tho houses which have heretofore done their main business with the South, but by all the trading interests of the city, to a greater or less extent. Such are the mutual relations and independencies of business, that wheD one part of our commercial body suffers, all the other parts are sympathetically affected. The man ufacturing jewelers have been great losers. Their principal trade is with the South, and tho winter is I their harvest season. Most of the traveling agents who make sales for them arc old stagers, and have traveled in the South for years, are extensively and favorably nnovvn there, and to them personally no possible objection is entertained by southerners, (such is the story that reaches us ;) but the South objects to patronize northern manufacturers, be cause in doing so, -she naturally suspects that she is only conti Touting to the strength and the provis ioning of the Abolition fortress. I know of one very popular jewelery agent, who in former years sold his fifty thousand dollars worth of goods South in the winter months, who was not able to pay his expenses this rear, and after a hasty tour through the priacipal southern cities, returned to New York in despair. This is his history of all tha jewel sel ling expeditions from the North this winter ; and the dealers who have formerly relied on the south ern trade, talk of clubbing together and disposing of their stock at a grand public auction. The man ufacturers of Yankee patents are suffering from the same cause, and.wailing letters come from the peri patetic venders of patent churns, etc., all over the South, telling of the utter ruin of the trade in that region. The hotels mourn a large loss of southern patronage. ' It is agreed on all hands, that, unless i entente cordirde is restored between the North and South within the next three months, the result will be most disastrous te all branches of domestic commerce and manufacturers throughout the North. REPORT OF THE SECRETARY OF THE INTERIOR. Secretary Thompson makes a lengthy report in refereneuce to Indian affairs, pensions, the District of Columbia, wagon roads, the Texas boundary, the distribution of documents, the judiciary, the Patent i5 d agriculture. , He has also somewhat to say about the public lands, remarking that during the five quarters ending September 30 1859, 10,918, acres of the public lands were disposed of ; 4,970,500 acres were sold for cash, yielding $2,107, 475 US; 3,017,440 acres were located with bounty land warrants; 1,712,000 acres were approved to the several States entitled to them, under the swamp grants of March 2,1849, and September 28, 1850 ; and 6,018,203 acres certified to States, as falling to them under the grants for railroad purposes. During the same period of time 13,817.221 acres surveyed and prepared for market, and 10,733,553 acres proclaimed and offered at public sale. The aggregate quantity of public land that has been surveyed, tut not yet proclaimed, or offered at public sale, was, on the 30th of September, 1359, 55,970,941 acres, and the estimated quantity which had been offered at public sale, and remained sub ject to private entry at the various laud oliices, was 80,000,000 acres. A FEARFUL SUICIDE. A most dreadful suicide was committed on Fri day afternoon, thirty miles South of this city, on tl e I on Mountain Railroad. A hunter was walk ing along the railroad near Victoria station, and cisdvered a well-dressed man approaching him at a short distance, engaged in writng in a memo ran mtu book. Soon he closed the book, and made a motion towards his throat, staggered, and then fell to the ground. The gentleman went up towards him and saw the blood spouting from his mouth. He looked forward and saw the train approaching, but before he could drag him from the track, the engine struck him and the wheels passed over his body, crushing it to atoms. A justice of the peace was called, aud held ;an injuest on his body. Uv letters in bis pockets. he was discovered to be Dr Charles Merry, a well known and highly respected dentist of this city. The jury rendered a virdict that the deceased came to his death by first cutting the jugular vein with a pen -knife, and then being run over, by the cars. St. Lonla Bulletin. Z'W The following eminently conservative, and national views we take from that sound .Demo cratic paper, the Lmcrenre Sentinel, of Lawrence, Mass. It is cheering to hear such views from a section so bitterty opposed to the South t LET THE PEOPLE OF THE SOUTH CONSIDER THESE THINGS. Our country seems to have fallen upon perilous times. The demon of disorganization stalks through out the land and threatens to corrupt, the integrity 01 the Union and bring contusion and destructon upon the noble experiment" of the revolutionary fathers. Now thon is th tim and nnninn w temperate counsels and the exercise of a wise and ' .t;m ri. fmn.. w.b f - KAjil III IJil ll'Ll.TIJl. nv ""Ift V a HID descerning patriotism.

The late debates in Congress show a fearful de- gree of exasperation on the part ot tno boutn. It not mere passion and excitement which tempor arily ruffles the tempers of men and then passes off and is then forgotten. AVe see a deeper feeling nrovailinp- amoncr sober, thinking statesmen and, men who love the Union and have stood by it with true-hearted devotion through storm and sunshine. They speak not the language of threat and fanati cism, but theirs is the u terance of matured con viction and meditated, dispassionate reason. A speech like that of Mr Curry of Alabama, means somethirte. it was not raving or hot-headed; it was calculating, and spoken in all soberness; and it told the North that the South was for the Union and the Constitution, but if she could not sustain her equality in the Union, if her rights guaranteed by the national compact were to be neither re spected or protected, then, separation was her only recourse. Such is the settled sentiment of the Southern States, mid no man can censure it. It is the only ground that an independent and spirited community could orM assume. Tho Repulicans are laboring to throw odium up on tho'South because Southern men threaten to dissolve the Union in a certain emergency. But our friends will bear in mind that even murder is justifiable when committed in self-defence, and perhaps the South may plead the same unanswera ble principle. She says that the national triumph of the sectional sentiments of Seward-republican-ism would amonnt to a subversion of her equal rights and independence that therefore she would then have to make an election between virtual sub jection and disunion, and when driven to that ex tremity she prefers the misfortune of the latter to the disgraco and moral slavery of the former. Should this calamity ever befall our nation, and, under circumstances such as above indicated, this Union should be dissolved by the act of the South, impartial history could not do otherwise than justi fy the deed. , What is it that has brought upon the nation the dangers of dissolution and made disunion the topic of common conversation and serious discussion and apprehension ? It is because a political party has been organized upon the s-'ngle idea of anti-slavery, utatijyi'jUic slavery Question, uroiiiuiiraimii eoiin anco with the constitutional duties ot the citizen and instilling into the public mind the contention exciting fallacy of the "irrepressible conflict." Doctrines like these are not barren of fruit, and we find them maturing into acts of nullification and rebellion. The black mau is enrolled in the militia, in open and confessed nullification of the Constitu tion of the United States. Personal Liberty Bills are enacted, whereby tho sovereign law of Con gress and of the Union are disregarded and defied, aud tho duty of the individual as a citizen of the State is made to conflict with his duty as a citizen of the United States. These things flow from the teachings of the "higher law," and in this way the misled people of the JSrorlh are, almost insensibly, working disunion, in spite of their loud-mouthed pretensions of loyalty. And where and what is the remedy? Is not the way of duty and safety plain and clear ? The pow er to correct the errors from which we suffer is in thepeole alone. With them it is to wipe out the treason of tho "Personal Liberty" laws and other unconstitutional enactments of like peniciousness : i i ,i j j i , r i . . . , t wnicti suuy tne statute oooas oi isxa&ouoiiuseiis.

The history of this famous or infamous vessel has j already occupied a largo share of public attention on account of her successful slaving voyage, and the i acquittal of all concerned in it.

Lincon Patten, under the assumed name of David Martin, put 10 men on board tho yacht Wanderer, then lying in the river below Savannah, to assist in taking on board provisions, water and stores. A little later he came on board himself, accompanied by Edward Talbot, pilot, and Captain J. Black, shipping agent. He fulled all hands to get under way. and drawing a revolver, swore he would shoot any one who refu.-ed to work, or who might inter- rUDt his movement--. He also threatened the shin ping agent ana pilot; wan ueatn u iney attemprea to leave the vessel. Some of the crew, who knew his plans, loaded the two guns with grape, and armed themselves to enforce his orders against those who had been induced by false prcntences to come aboard. Though there was a pilot on board, he directed the movements of tun vessel himself, and got lier twice ashore. At last she reached lybee Light and anchored, where the pilot and shipping master left her. Again .she run aground, and remained fast four hours. At nine o'clock in the morning of Oc tober 21, she floated off again, made sail, slipped fifteen fathoms of chain, and went to .sea, carrying more than half tho crew against their w ishes. The captain, to allay their fears, pretended that the vessel was bound to Matanzas and Nassau, N. P., and back to Savannah, but a few days afterwards he declared that the ship was without papers, the Collector having refused her a clearance. He said he was bound to the Western Islands for more provisions and water, and thence to the coast of Africa for a cargo of seven hundred uegroes These he proposed to land at Cardenas, saying that he was sure of receiving for them $050 cash, well acquinted with the trade, having landed sever al cargoes from the barks Niagara, Ocean Tyrunr, brig Frances Ellen, and other vessels. He further informed them on leaving Savannah he had failed to procure a chronometer, charts, or nautical almanac, and conseque. tly wouid have to perform the voyage by dead reckoning. On the 23 1 of October, however, he fell in w ith the ship Troy, of Boston, and brought from her one Epitome, -Bluut's ...CoL.Pilot . .and a chart of the next chased the bark Clara Browcr. but when ho hailed her finding the Captain to be an old acquain tance, he did hot go on board. The next day he saw a schooner and made sail in chase, carrying such a press of canvass thrt he car-r:i-r.way his square sail yard and split the sail, L I"..iicd to overhaul her. On the 28th of October he chased a brigand tired grape at her, but she would not heave to ; the chase was continued till 11 P M when the brig, favored by the darkness of the night, by suddenly changed her course ran out of sight. The wanderer was now headed for Fayal, and was favored w ith a stong gale from W N V going sometimes twenty knots an hour, and requiring two men at the helm to steer her. On tho 31st the galo moderated to fine weather, which continued until November 9th, when she encountered another north west gale, which brought her to the Isle of FJorcs. She stood off and on. liring ,?uns for a pilot, and when off the settlement of Santa Cruz, the Lirilish Consul, tlie Chief Magistc of the place, and a pilot came on board. She was then anchored in tweuty five fathomes water.

I 25o bushels of potatoes, au anchor, and 120 fathoms of cbaiu. . He was promised twenty tons more flour, but Borne ofh:s movements exciting suspicion; h came on board in great haste, and made everything ready lor getting under way that uiht. He smuggled two Portu guese women on board, i-.ud this circumstance came to the kuowledge of the authorities. He had not a moment to spare; so he slipped sixty fathoms of chain, left one of his men ash ne, and did not pay one dol lar for the supplies received; valued at about fifteen hundred dollars. He openly avowed to the crew that he could procure eighty negro-;s fur the women he had kidnapped. The vessel was next headed for Mideria called at Village Point de Salee, but uuable to obtained sun plies, proceeded to tunchal, where, receiving infor-. matton that an English stenmer-of-war was in tbe harbor, be stood to sea, proposing to pass between Cape St. Ann and the Canaries. Still short of provisions, he declare to the crew' that he would obtaiu them by force from the first ves sel he met. swearing that he would shoot the CrEt mail who hesitated to fight for such an object. Shortly afterwards he spoke the bark Clara, of Bordeaux, but her commander positively refused either to have-to or to furnish him with supplies. Two other barks wero chased without being able to bring them to. At hut sue fell in with the bark Jenny, of Marseilles, who hove to, and promised to give him some of her stores. ith a boat and four men he boarded her. Now was the crisis of the crew's fate. They de termined, unanimously, to .seize the vessel and car ry her to the United States, With that object in view, Mr Henry ilton, a native of British North America, was placed in command. She was imme diately run before the wind, all sail set, and when well clear of the brook was heaeded otthe westward. The next day they made the westward of the Ca naries and saw lying iu a cove a suspicious looking polacoa brig, which fired a gun when the Wander er hove in sight. Having no desire to ascertain her true character, the Wanderer pursued her course to the westward without any other incident worthy of notice. She made Fire Island Light, thence proceeded to Tarpaulin Cove, and arrived here this morning, bt already stated. She has now on ooaru i ui the two Portuguese women alreaay noticed. TRUE.
