Of course, it will dicoter something to find fault with, and we wouli not, if w could, de prife it of w nfcfswrj a aource of cnjujment. We think the p utlie understand fullj this caucua and compromie matter. Every nlj knows that the Georgia platform became that of the majority of the Southern States. The resolutions of the Georgia Contention expressed acquiescence in the compro mise, onon the rround that under all the circum stances the Mite could accept it cnn.itentlj with het hooftr, Hot becaose it wet her eordial spproTal. Such, we beliere, was the farthest that any South trn State went upon the compromise. It Acquiesced in, but did not cordially approte. The resolution Introduced ia the Detnocratie caucus by Mr. Polk, expressed cordial approval. Not a member of the caucus desired or espreased desire to disturb the corapronue, but many of them had toted against it, and while they regarded it as final could not still bo 13 inconsistent as to say that they cordially np proted meaure some of which they had minted, nor were they in such a desperate strait as their op ponents, 'who, having no other chance, jumped npon the compromise incontinently, after having opposed nil ia it of any value at the time when oppoxition or support really meant something But the thing is lo glaring now that even the neutral press if speak ing out against this hutuhng compromise test, as wit ness the Baltimore Sun, quoted in this pnper of the 15th. 0 - I ll . i i i ii The Wilmington Journal b very fond of telling its ' benighted reudem" that the whig party is -bro-ken op," dead and huried.'1 We doubt not that many of its readers believe it, however little the ed itor himself does.

There's a precious piece for you, isn't it 1 Just rend it over once more and admire it. Contemplate the respoctful tone of its reference to the majority of the people of the Seventh District, whom wo nre happy to class among our "benighted renders." It is purely democratio and republican, is it not 1 Out ' upon such miserable arrogance and insulting Fede ralism as that which prompted the characteristic paragraph we hate quoted from the Observer. We are, Heaven knows, no demagogue, and would scorn to appeal to social prejudices, or endeavor to make capital by mixing them up with political parties or r question, but we see so much of this cool contempt, this personal sneering at the great body of the de mocratic people, in the columns of the so called whig press, that little as we nre disposed to apply - unwelcome titles to persons or parties, we are con strained to believe and call such presses Federalist ,and Tory in the extreme. If the great body of our readers place confidence in our statements, and we are proud to believe that they do. it is because they hate found in us a determination to state matters fairly and faithfully, and to the best of our knowl edge ; and to make no assertion without a certainty of being borne out by the circumstunccnnd results. It is about time that men of all parties should ternly tebuke such sneering, both open and covert, It fully one half t)f their fellow citizens Many of . our readers are whigs in the town of Wilmington. about ne half and we know that they, equally with the members of our own party, will coincide with us in the opinions"ve have here expresse'd. 1 " SF'We like that idea from western paper, about blacking the noses of delinquent newspaper sub scribers, although we are afraid that it might inter fere somewhat with the physical beauty of a gowlly number of our patrons. - Walk up to the Captain's office, gentlemen, and settle your tickets, and your noses shan't be blacked.

There Can be no doubt the policy of total non-intervention in European affairs has been bequeathed to us by the founders of our republic, but it is a great mistake to suppose as some appesr to do that it is matter of constitutional obligation, or that Kossuth io counselling a change of that policy coun sels any violation of that sacred instrument. It is a matter of policy and expediency, coming to us with the sanction of high authority, but not that of the constitution. Kor Commlitloi rs of I lie Town FcopW't Ticket. WJI. C. HOWARD, T. C.

Il.lltidge across lloanoke In Aslirs I This morning about 8 o'clock, the bridge across vnmioke, known as the " Weltlon Toll Bri'lge," ami part of the Seaboard anil Roanoke Railroa'l, was (lis- covered to he on fire, ami in a little more than an hour, the whoe bridge, upwards of 600 yards lone, was nirned to the water's edire. This is truly a great misfortune. The Company had but recently repaired the bridge, at a very heavy ex- tense, so that their train of cars oouM cross, and were in a fair way to realize the highest hopes of their Menus, tint alas! nothing now remains of that m gh ly structure, save the rack pillars to teil of its having evei existed This was one among the largest bridges in the Uni ted Slates, and the original cost of its construction ex ceeded $100,000 We have not been able to learn whether mi insurance had been effected on it; we fear, however, there was none. How the bridge caught on fire we have not been a le to learn, ll is supposed that the train which pass ed over about 7 o'clock this inoiniiij:, eel fire to some rotten limbers that wie very dry and chaffy which lay-sunder the bridge, and from which the bridge itself loon nre tt eiaon rairtor. Thkke Children Burned to Death We ate in formed by the Coroner of this county, L M McLendon, eQ., that on Wednesday last he held an inQiieUn the dead bodies of three negro children, the property of Anna Baily, daughter ot Tho ;fias B.

He bad arrived from London, by way of Paris, under a fale name. In bis possesion were found proclamation inciting the soldiers to revolt, and printed copies of the last public speeches in Kngland by the ex-dictator. It was generally stat ed in the town, that many officer, (the number is said tn be nineteen,) and a great number of non commbioned officers and wldicrs, have also been ar rested at Rensburg. for having been accomplices in the projected revolt. These arrests have been prin cipally effected in the Schwarienburg regiment, which is almost entirely computed of Hungarians, and which is at precnt in garrison in the fortress of Rensburg. It has be-n ascertained that the agent of KooKuth, aided by another Hungarian (Ruschak.) and who has alo been arretted, has succeeded in or ganizing the revolt. Inastragetic point of view, the spot was well chosen. In possessing themselves of the fortress, the conspirators calculated that they would receive the support of a number of the dis missed officers and soldiers of the army of HoNiein A new insurrection in the two Duchies would have opened a vast field to the revolutionary exploits meditated- by the Kuropean propaganda at London. During the last three days, the electric telegraph has been exclusively occupied in transporting to Vienna the despatches of tho Austrian commander-in-chief: even those of the stock exchange could not be sent. On receipt of this deplorable news at Vienna, Gene ral de I J urn berg, an aid-de-camp of the Emperor, was immediately sent off to examine tho affair, and he has already arrived at Altonu."

The Courier de Constantinople of the 15th of September last, under the head of Miscel aneous News,'' publisher a oarnirrnnh. of which a friend has obligingly furnished us with the original and the following translation : On rriday his majesty, the Sultan, went to say his prayers in the mosque of Beckiktach. On Fri day, the 5th of September, his majesty the Sultan. having gone through Ins devotions, returned to the Arsennl Library, where he examined n collection of various articles brought back from America by Kmin Kffendi. on the occasion of his late voyage to the United States, and consisting of about two hun dred volumes of historical and scientific works; one hundred and fifty maritime and other charts: some models of cannon, gun-carriages, musket. and pis tol, all fit for land and nea service; a complete col lection of nautical and mathematical instruments together with models of ships, machines. &c. His Imperial Majesty examined with much attention the beauty and finish of this collection, and appear ed to he exceedingly well satisfied with them. All these objects are made to perfection, and it could not be otherwise ; for it will be remembered that President Fillmore cave an order, that when Kmin Effendi visited the arsenals and other establish ments of the United States, everything should be placed at the disposal of this young officer which he should point out us being serviceable to the mission wjth which he was charged."

Giri.s on Rollers It is stated that at a Urge beer drinking house in Beilin, Prussia, the customers are waited on by femalo skaters. The instant a customer takes his seat, ono of the damsel darts from tbe end of the room, skim over the floor, des cribing graceful curves, and in a moment is at his Mde, nnd requests to know his wishes. One of theso female waiters will collect a number of orders in her round, or carry her beer vessels to her customers without rufii ng their snowy froth. The motions performed resemble tkating.and strangers are likely to be doceived. but the act is performed by employ ing small iron rollers, set into the soles of strong, but neatly fitting boots. This is all the mystery. It takes time and practice to execute the movements well, and the work is somewhat fatiguing. The floor over which they glide are made of very smooth hard boards. A Jesuit who was pasinj? from France to America was strongly reconrn ended to the Captain of the ves sel in which he embarked. The Captain who saw a stoim cominir up, sa.d to him, " My Father, you have not your sea-legs, the rolling of the vessel would be dangerous to yrH J get to the bottom of the hold ; as long as you hear the sailors swearing and storming, this will he a sign that there will s'ill be hope : but if von once hear them embracing and reconciling them--elves with earh other, then recommend yourself to God " The Jesuit from time to time, sent his com panion to the scuttle lo see what was going on.

" God be praised," answered the father, "come, come, all will be well."
