' colony. Dr. Loug in the Parliament, oa the 23rd Qf September, gave notice that he would move a series of resolutions looking to such an event, and a - I concluding with a prayer to the home government I for a severance. We do not think this will mett ! with the sanction of the people. They are now I " 1LI1 1 &" r-L-, J - - , infinitely more prosperous than they would be were i seDaratcd The British government would be J ' F " -r rMlW a. burthpn - - -r really a burthen ' much better, for the colonies are reaiiy a ourtnen ! upon them. We do not suppose that the English people would object, although it would be the loss of, her richest and most prosperous territory. At no distant day, however, we believe New South Wales will have become so prosperous that it will of meeessifcy be formed into Republic""" -- iDeiouw.UguiuiuB will give an idea of the state of things in Washing- ton. It will be seen that a very great compliment , is paid to our townsman and representative, the Hon. Warren Winslow ; The Contest for the Speakership is appearently rap. idly approaching a termination. Though Mr. Hamil ton received on Saturday afternoon only a number of votes about ejaal to the Democratic party-proper's strength in the Hall, it was well known to those be. hind the curtain that but for the want of two votes to make an election, he would have received enough more from the Southern Opposition and the auti-Le- e..tn.itoiHt( s still holding out to have brought him viihm two of a triumph? It became so manifest tint j such was Uie,state of the case, before the ballot was jh ougii, 'hat the Republican party, which by the j n h-nl r.-ciaf.il that ntllfit. lv ppprv mpi sat is Ct m- niaa l.l were yesteraay in consultation, Sunday though t was, all over the city. They came to a conclusion we have every reason to believe, that to elect auy op positionist of their sheool to the Speakership, it will tie necessary to abaudon Mr. Sherman; probably to-day They prefer on abandoning Mr. Sherm in to lake up Mr. Pennington, of'N. J., who. though not being a member of the last House, he was not a signer of the Helper book circular, he has proved himself a Ilelper ite all over, from the liist Monday of last month to this hour; no other having sustained Mr. Sherman with more zeal, or been more open in his avowal of approbation of the entire policy of the Republican pr ty. The fact, that he is notorious as being all over a Helperite in his sentiments; bidding fair to prevent him trom receiving even the votes of Messrs. Ethe rffclge and Winter Davis, supposed to be necessary to elect him.) we think will induce his abandment without a serious effort to elect him, and a Republican-party rally upon Mr. Gilmer, of N, C,, whom the Republicans can certainly elect we apprehend, when' ever willing to do so. We believe further, that by noon to-ilay, the two votes that were on - aturday ne cessary to secure the election of Mr. .Hamilton will be found, and that if the Republicans fail promptly to concentrate on Mr, Gilmer, Mr. Hamilton will proba blv be the Speaker. As, if on any ballot he comes within a ni"re handful of votes of being elected, no Southern Representative. ofjdther party, will Venture fe) tail to vote for h:m in ti present state of Southern public opinion.

And it is a matter worthy of special remark.that all democrats should thank their Creator j tor such a very encouragingand hopeful indication 1 of soundness among their representatives. LOOK OUT FOR SQUALLS. We are going to be demolished by the Goldsboro Independent, so we should judge from a paragraph which we have seen in that raner. All we wnnl.l i. c j m . , . i say bMriei-d Chapen is this : he may not be aware , . . , i . i of his own powers as a writer, and while he lays on the bitter lash of criticism and wounded pride, weigh every word before you cut too deep and t insmogrijy us into a 9 with the tail off. Oh, we b-g! we plead! let pity and compassion temper your rod, and when you think you have written enough, we entreat of you to stay your hand, as we do 1, r the present. Ihe Rev. Father Worth explains why Mr Gilmer's vote w is increased last fall, at Jamestown, and High P -int. In his letter to a friend in New York, and published in the Post of that city, he says : now mark every word : ' But the moral offects of these proceedings the expulsion of Crooks and McBride were felt in a way not exactly looked for by the radical slaveites. For quite a number of our best citizens left the State, and others withheld their votes, and thus plainly manifested their disapprobation, and it was not un til Mr Gilmer gave his anti-Lecompton vote in Con gress that our people could be induced to forgive him for the part he took in the business, though he went only as amodtralor. In my section of the county, Jamestown and High Point election pre cincts, tne effect was very strongly marked. At Jamestown, in 1857, Gilmer receivei 108 votes and his competitor 1 09. This year Gilmer received 229, aid Williams 63 votes. At High Point Gilmer re ceived 108 votes in 1837, and in 13-30, 200 ; Williams 51 each year. Gilmer's re-election by such a deci ded majority shows conclusively that all the sou thern people are not radical slaveites, and that bran ding a man with abolitionism has lost its talismanic effect. Let us take heart and hope for better times. We publish to-day the endorsers to the Helper Book, for future reference, which we copy from the New York Day Book. BILL TO ABOLISH SLAVERY IN NEBRASKA. Augusta, Jan. 13. A St. Louis dispatch states that a bill for abolish ing slaver7 has passed the Territorial Leji -!ature,of Nebraska, but it is expected that the Governor will veto it. Tiie State and District Conventions.- OC friend of the Fayetteville Carolinian is opposed i , l . . ,. .a.:,i r n..- in the District Conventions have the same t,j . f appointment, control, or instruction" over rtl Ji-iHct delegates that the State Convention has OX tho delegates at large, else why district conventions j in state matters the btate Convention 1R .r i hjjiCst authority, and certainly in all matter, t , mci---.-t. uiuum iy, truaiuijr hj iui lUiiLLVIl gej",;, rule districts culd act more understam afar ttio party, through its delegates from all of the SLut5. iiad enjoyed the advantage of.fr rstandm y par friend communion.

Wo.jf i. not at all assume for the State Convention any j&b. tion of authority over the -district. Conventions, hjtii ton Convention goes. The district Conventions are ton Convention goes. The district Conventions are , notcauea w iaKe cognizance 01 questions 01 ' policy, and we trut tliey will not. Ve give place to tne above Horn our este-mea cotemporary of the Wilmington Journal, to show that we entirely agree in respect to the principles envolved, and to assure it that it was not our inten- tion to be dictatorial or to differ with other Demo- era tic journals in the State. We have always con sidered, and do still, that District Conventions are the constituency of the State Convention, and although we agree us to tne time ot holding our own conven - 0 o tion, we think, nevertheless, that the action of the various district assemblies ought to be consulted by tne State Convention, and, in appointing the dele- . tbe ou ht to select according to the o otto o voice, of the e.ajority of the Districts. This would ooviate any, seeming orreai variance, m me latier case, the State Convention would receive council from the fountain head the people; in the former, it would seem like the people receiving council from their representatives. Tho District Conventions have no right to touch State matters, because they (the delegates) were n.ot elected for any such purpose, consequently, as we are all strict constructionists, we suoula consider any action on their part in this way, cxtraordinarj' and of no binding force ; and like the Journal we can only trust they will not interfere with matters not tlieir's. We notice that the convention. 01 tne 4th district assembles before the State Convention. As it is convenient we think they have acted pro perly and with judgment. "THE "ltESPONSlBILlTr AD.dlTTED." While others quote Democratic paper correspond ents as to the responsibility of non-organization, permit us to pile on the agony a little harder, and quote a North Carolina opposition mjmber of Con- gress.

Now, the South Americans and Democrats, ac- cording to Mr Leach, can elect their man, and it is no excuse for the Southern opposition to say that tiie anti-Lecomptou vote cuiuiot be procured, lor upon the vote referre-l to by Mr Loach, every one who voted for Mr Hamilton and Mr Ciiiuer .the f-.ria.or carrying SS, the latter 22 votes, and neces sary to a choice 110, making the amount) every vote cast was Southern opposition and Democrats, except the notorious Mourns, of Pa., who voted for Mr Gilmer, and at that time 3 opposition votes were castaway, winch, ha 1 they been given would have left two vote- to spare. THE LAWRENCE C ATASTROPII Y. , Wo do ut reiiuaiber of ever liaving read a case of so much suifjring or such a painful and heart rending occurrance. We clip the following from the Pniludelpiiia Pennsylvania!! which will give " a limited idea of the fearful scene. The following is one of the many heartrending iu- cidents : Margaret Hamilton aged 14, was taken from the ruins and carried to the hospital. 1 his was her jirst Joy's work at the mills. Her devoted mother attended her, and when she asked what injuries her daughter had received, the latter replied, 'my arm is broken, mother." I "And her head is broken, and on ! my iord7 and here the noor woman burst into tears, Mly , - 1 ,T . . .o poor darling is all broken ! Tlle UQf0, tudate nirl died to-day. She was the I main support of her mother and four children. Miss Olive Bridges, of Calais, Maine, who worked in the iifth story, seized the hoisting chain t the elevator, went safely down five stories and escaped uninjured. bukxt alive 1 Before the building caught tire those imprisoned beneath the ruins could be seen and conversed with. Drinks and refreshments were in somo instances passed to them. When the tire spread over the ruins and they found escape hopeless, they bade adieu to their friends, and in several cases gave directions as to the disposition of their bodies. In one part of the building a hole was battered through the wall, and through it could be seen three yomig women, who suid they were not at all inju red. One of them thrust her arm through the small aperture and begged to be drawn through it. But before the hole could, be made large enough the flames drove the men away and the prisoners perish ed in the flames. The Coroner summoned a jury to-day, who after reviewing the dead bodies, adjourned till to-morrow. The insurance on the Peniberton Mills is $415, 000. This is said to be against fire only. v It is not true that the Editor of the Standard favors at this time any change in the Constitution of North-Carolina. : It is not true that the Editor of tho Standard pro poses or favors a. iy new party test.

It becomes us to watch and be vigilent, for there will be no remedy, when these hounds are permitted to have free and unrestrained liberty in our very midst. . ISut before censuring the north, Virginia should clear her fair escutcheon of the damning dis 7race that a Clack Republican senator sits in her State Council. The South had expected better of the State of Virginia, hut it seems they were decieved and that the old dominion is a disgrace to her sister Southern States. " 2?

Warren AYinslow it seems is winning laurels at Washington this season from his active, energetic and consistent course in the great contest for Speaker. We clip the following from the Wash ington - States. This is the second time the State8 has spoken in glowing terms of Gov. Winslow : "A MERITED COMPLIMENT. The following merited compliment to the Hon. Warren Winslow, we find in the Washington cor respondence of the Ohio Statesman. As we took occasion to state a few days ago, no member .has been more indefatigable in his exertion to effect an organization of the House adversely to the Aboli tionists than himself: 'The best manager on the Democratic side of the House in all these complications, is Governor Waren Winslow, of North Carolina. He has been here two terms ; is an accomplished scholar and parliamen tarian; is an old legislator in his own State; and has a tact whi jh, while it will not make personal ene mies even of political opponents, cau control his own friends and bring about results. If an one could have piloted our party into a successful issue on the Speaker, that man is Gov. Winslow. His effo-Uiihave been unceasipg; his suavity undiminish ed; bis position as the head of thu Democratic com mittee has been used to its full extent; but as yet all is of uo avail." .Tni3 "We" of Editors., It is a prevailing idea among some p.;ople that because eJitors. in referring to them selves, use the word -'We," they consider they amount to two "or three ordinary men. This is a mistake, Editors are naturally, a very modest and unassuming class; indeed remarkably so. The word -we'' merely includes Ihe editor and the "devel." Thi custom originated with Faust the founder of the distin guished .profession. The superstitious people of the "day supposed him to be leagued with the devel.

I A STORY AS IS A STORY. We are not much given to sensation articles, but occasionally a remarkable thing will c ome under our notice, and it would be a sin to keep it from the publi.'. We cannot vouch for the truth of the fol- lowing story, told us this morning by an old suck- er, buT venture to say such thingshave been heard of before (in the Ar.iian Nights? Entertainments) : 'It is lust twenty j'ears ago vesterdar" said our . . - .J c ii j. narrator ' that a party of us fe l.rs went over to Cakokia Creek on a skating match The day was colder than ten ice-berys all stuck together, hut the ice was as smooth as -glass, and we made up our was the leader of the crowd.

Just as I had lunshed buckungthe straps L liei.ru a noise looked up and saw souihirig shooting along on the ice like lightnin'. It was Bill Berry's head. He had been goin' it like greased electricity, and before he knew it he was into one ot tnern cnusea lioies. m, ,. j .

I looked at Bill's head, which had been goin' it on j the ice, and all at once it dropped into another hole. Wre run te it, and I heard Bill Berry say, "for liod's f sake, boys, pull me out?" I looked into the hole, I l .i . T. .. Mill I!..--.,'.. hiiu Luci e, Jt. ii lie a i nt fi suiiivi, n wtnj a body, wh ch had vhooted along under the ice and" met the head at the hole in tbe ice. It was so thunderiii' cold that, the head froze fast to body, and we pulled Billy out as Kood as new. lie felt a little numb at first, but after skating a while he was as brisk as the rest of us. and laugned oveo the joke. We went home about dark, all satisfied with the day's sport. About nine o'clock in the evening, somebody knocked at my door and said I was wanted over to Bill Berry's. I put on my coat and went over. There lay Bill's body in one place and his head in another. His wife said that after he came home from skating "he sat down by the tire to warm himself, and while atrempting to blow his nose he threw his head into the lire-place. The coroner was called that night, and the virdict of the jury was that "Bill Berry came to his death by skating too fast." .S. Louis Herald. The following from the Petersburgh Press meets with our chtire approbation, and is worthy of ape ! rusal : THE SPEAKERSHIP The grand complaint against the Democrats is, that they have not been prompt to avail themselves of the votes ofThaddeus Stevens and ther very ob jectionable "Republicans," in favor of .Mr Gilmer,! of .North Carolina, to elect that gentleman. Ihe reason of those w!io take this position, as stated by .Mr Keitt, is this : Tttey were willing to vote for any American whom the Democrats might choose, or any Democrat' whom the Americans might choose. This was fair and li icral, and honorable totib.- - lint to- 1-rt thn Aiwiwni". fur-uLU- tha gan didate, and the Republicans name the man, was to dedrivethe relations between the Democtats and South Americans of its honorable reciprocity, and thus make the Democrats pass under the yoke not only to them, but to the '"Republicans" also. And that they are resolved to pursue this rule or ruin policy, their course towards the last compro mise candidate, Mr Hamilton, demonstates, it in deed any further proof were needed. The 30th ballot s-tood; Sherman 105; Hamilton 88; Gilmer 22; scattering 4 necessary to a choice 110, which would have been attained if the Gilmer vote had been given to Hamilton ; anl this was the ballot announced by telegraph as that which was to unite all the elements of opposition to Black Republican ism. This is Gihner-ite uniting. S3 ward Recommends J. il- G-iimer far Speaker. Special Dispatch to the New t'ork-Times. Washington, Monday, Jan. 9. The Senate transacted no business of importance to day. Wuon Mr Seward entered he was immedi ately s a '-rounded by the Kepublican Senators, and was warmly congratulate 1 on his safe return. After the shaking of hands had been gone through with, he eiitcre I into a long arid earnest conversation with Mr Crittenden. Mr'Pugh was th only Demo crat who approai'luJ.

A bill to prohibit the issue of Bank not.;s by -this District, and the circulation of Foreign uo.es under twenty dollars, was introduced by Mr. Slidell. Mr Foster was excused from serving on the Spe cial Co . mittee to investigate the alleged misconduct of Senators Slidell and Benjamin. The committee now consists only of four members Louisianians xpress adeep interest in the result. The land cov ered by the supposed fradulent legislation is valued at five millions of dollars. Mr Green appeared in the Senate to-day, prepar ed to speak in reply to Mr Pugh, but did not get tbe floor, as Mr Dixon wished to discuss a privileged question. Mr Green's friends regretted this, as he was in good condition and anxious to be heard. The city was lilled this morning with rumors of a change of position by the Republicans, and that the Speaker would be elected to-day. Air Seward Juul vrgeil the policy of uniting on Jr Gilmer or C'uriciu, but if.er eonsultaliou it ic undetermined to adhere to Jr Sher;naK, and with htm, win or lose. Tte Republicans say tiiat many of them cannot sup port a fcoath American, and that it would be use less to vote for -ir Corwin, wdso cannot control the Anti-Lecompton votes. At 'present, however, no change need be anticipated. The efforts of the De mocrats to combine will prove futile. Mr Hamilton must receive every vote but two outside of the Re- j publican organization to be elected. Of this there ! is no possible hope ; so the end is not yet. A Ghost.

' 2. A fugitice tlaee nmundrd to the turner by an angel. The second striking new idea advanced by the Doctor Was tube fidlowing : Hagar, Snrai's slave, had fled; anl the angel of the Lord found her in the wilderness." Ana what did he say unto her t 4 Hagar, here is a ticket tor the underground railroad, speed on?' No tuch thing! But he said, Hagar, Sarai's maid the terms used in the origin il for ser vant aud maid, unless otherwise mod. tied, always, denote slaves return, to thy inltrcxy and submit thyself to her,' or literally, though thou be torment ed under her hand.' Here is a fugitive tdave law, in all its practical vigor, enforced by a heavenly de tective. 3. I have also from private conversations with the Doctor, another biblical example of a fugitive slave law, found in 1 Sum. 30 : lo. There an Kgj-ptimi slave, owned by an Ainalekite, had been cast off by his master in the midst of the road in a dying con dition. Cruel as his master had been to him, and eugaged, as he knew David then to be, in the deadly war against his master, and permitted, naturally enough, to reckon on David's gratitude for the im p or taut service the betrayal of the enemy's camp expected of him, yet he insisted David should swear unto him by G d, that he would not deliver him into the hands of his m ister. Had the prohi bition, Duet. 23: 13, related to any but Hebrew slaves, or at least slaves owned by Hebrew masters, David, instead of swearing, might have frankly told the Egyptian of the law by which he was bound to respect his freedom. But the restoration of fugitive slaves was so universal, and the reasons slaves plead ed for their escape were so little believed, that tho Egyptian nigger was sure that nothing less than a solemn oath will secure an exception to be made in his case." As a new correspondent from new ground, fresh . th-okeis by 7-oryurnlistic efforts, I think I roust uot trespass more on your crowded columns. But there was much more in the Doctor's remurks that beserves publicity, aud which 1 am ready to report in my simple way if you desire it. J. CAPTURE OF A SLAVER. On the 22d September, as H. M. S, Spitfire was steaming to windward, a brigantine, suspected of being engaged in the slave trade, was met off Agh way. Bight Benin, running to leeward, which shortly afterwards anchored at Whydah, a noted slave depot, at which place her Majesty's ship Spitfire likewise anchored. For three days the suspected vessel remained there pretending to dis charge plank and other cargo. . On Sunday fore noon, Sept. 25, the weather being thick and squally, the brigantine left Whydah, aud ran to leeward,. Desiring not to Jose sightof her the Spitfire steam ed iu the same direction that afternoon, and Lieut, Chapman, having ascertained that she was not an chored at Jackiu, to which place the brigantine was said to have been bound, proceeded in chase, and came up with her working off the land, on a wind, at 19 P. M. No satisfactory answer being returned when hailed, she was boarded, and proved to be the suspected vefsel. The boarding officers returned apparently satisfied with the retu't, and with the account given by the person representing himself as the master of the vt-ssel. Notwithstand ing all this, doubt as to her honesty remained in Lieut. Chapman's mind and there being almost a calm, he decided ou steaming back to Jackiu, to learn some particulars of lnr having been off that place, which is a noted slave station. Having ascertained early next morning a vessel hud shipped slaves there the previous uiu ri.c-.n, he proceded again in search of the brigantine. and came up with her at 10 A. M . teptember 26, Lieut. Chapman boarded in person, and not being satisfied with the answer given by the person supposed to be the master of the vi-sst-1, who said that he had no papers, directed tht hatches to be opened, whence issued immediately the frantic cries of siifling hun dreds ot wretched human beings, who were huddled together in heaps, naked, regardless of sx or age. At the same time two or three of the crew leaped out of the hold, naked to the waist, and begrimed with the blood of the wretched blacks, whom they cruelly lashed into keeping silence, looking in every respect demons. The riag tfiat she unwarrantably had laid claim to was hauled down by one of her own crew, and the Bi ittish i uu up, amidst the hearty cheers and joyful shouts .f the rescued Africans. The vessel was found to contain 500 slaves, and was taken in tow to Whydah, and dispatched to Sierra Leone, with the slaves all healthy, for adjudication in the Prize Court at that place. MAYOR.

If he should be Dominated at Charleston he would be sure to rally Young America to bis standard, and Old America would fall in, ol coarse. But we are , frank and candid.
