We regret to learn, bv letter from Tennessee, that David Reid, Esq.7 form erly of this town, died at Denmark, Tennesseet on the 28th iIt. Mr. Reid was aorn in Aioore county, wnence no mov ed to Cumberland. A democrat and a man of talents, he three times represented this county in the btate Leg islature in the Comttrons, at the sessions of lbJS-Jy and 1840-41, and in the Senate in 1842-43. If we are not mistaken, he also represented New Hanover and Duplin, one term each, in the House of Commons. In 1855, a citizen ot Duplin, ne was me nominee oi me a merican party for Congress in the strongly democratic Cape Fear District, and was beaten Dy uon. w arren Winslow by only 1,000 majority. He removed to Tennessee in lbob, and since then, es chewing politics, has devoted himself to the practice of his profession, lie was reputed here an excellent Law yer ; not an interesting speaker, but an industrious and able anu weu reaa Lawyer, wno prepareu nis cases care fully, made his points well, and enforced them clearly and strongly. His reputation at home was serviceable to him abroad, lor we learn that he has been remarkably successful in Tennessee. Mr. Reid, we suppose, was about fifty years of age. He leayes a widow and several children, and many friends in this section of North Carolina who will lament his death. Fayettevilie Observer, 10th inst. The Observer is mistaken in reference to New Hano ver, which Mr. Reid never represented. Like ail other men, Mr. Reid had his faults, but he had also many ami able traits of character. High Aiming. A Scottish Reformer, lately deceas ed, was so fully impressed with the idea of always keep ing before youth a high standard to aim at, on one oc casion he delivered himself on the hustings oi tne louow innr magnificent sentiment : "If 1 were a chimney-sweep, and had a son, I would brin? him ud with an ambition to sweep out Mount O A Vesuvius. 44So you have a new baby at your house Y' says Fanny Fern tn a. little child.

The i in - u .MORNING, SEPTEMBER 17, 1858. Fallen Great negA. In the whole range of historical or poetic literature, no more striking illustration of the vicissitudes of human fortunes can be found than is presented in the following extract from one of Mr. Russell's letters to the London Times: 44 And now," said my friend, " let us go and see the old King, if you care about it." Oddly enough I was that moment reminded of another invitation, which T once received, to see the old King " under very differ ent circamstancts. One fine day, passing down Nor thumberland street, Strand, my attention was called by what was entitled to be considered a crowd in that se questered locality, assembled in front of a house near the end of the street on the right-hand side going to wards the river. The crowd was composed of a boy with a pot of beer, a rabbit man, a youth with a tray of fish from neighboricg Hungerford, a barrel-organ man en retraite, portion of a brass band, several little boys and girls, and a cabman connected with the vehicle a four-wheeler which was drawn up be fore the door. The servant-girl, in a state of considerable excitemen, stood in the passage, and just us I joined the assemblage, she assured us 44 He'll be down in a minit. They're a-movin upsteers." " What is it ? Who is he ?" quoth I. "Why sir, it's the King of France, or summat of the sort, as is a wisitin here,' replied the rabbit man ; and at the moment the maid, quite frantic, flung open the hall door wide, exclaiming, 44 Now you'll see the King ! Now you'll see him. He's the first of 'em the old gent with Liie uiorellar l And certainly there did appear on the steps, feeble and sad, the well known form of Louis I'hillippe, King of the French, who got into the cab and drove off amid cheers from all the crowd, except the barrel organ men and some revolutionary members of the brass band. The last time I had seen him he was indeed a King, and the cheers of 45,000 men in arms as they passed in review before him seemed guarantees of his reign. Two of my traveling companions, whom I found awaiting my arrival at Delhi, Brigadier Stisted and Captain Alison, had already gone to visit the last of the Great Alosruls, to whose presence thev were admit ted by an order from the Commissioner to the guard. It was formerly, and, indeed, not more tbau a year ago, necessary to go through many forms before His Majesty, the King of the World, deigned to grant an interview to a stranger, who was ouly honored by permission to be admitted to the presence on a petition being address ed for that purpose by the Resident to the King's of ficer of State. We drove out of the court and turn ed into a long parallelogram, surrounded by mean houses in various stages of ruin. Nearly all of them were shut up and deserted. The lower stories of others were open and used as magazines of corn and shops for the encouragement of a sickly traffic with the lew miserable men and women who lound shelter within the walls of the palace. A few of the older I cannot say of the more venerable buildings are in such a con dition that a clap of thunder near at hand would endan ger their existence. JN one or them exceed two stories in height, i'hey are all provided with decaying veran dahs and rotting lattice work ; the court is only partial ly paved, and the stones in places have been removed to repair the decaying houses. At one end f the court ! there is a fine tower, surmounted by the cupolas of which I have already spoken. In the apartments which were formerly occupied by officers of the household are now lodged some of our officers who do not find them very comfortable quarters. Centries of the Ghoorka Rifles or of Her Majesty's 61st Regiment are on duty in every court. Within the walls of this palace there was a pop ulation of more than 5,000 souls, of which no less than 3,000 were of the blood royal and descendants of Tim ourlung. These latter, of course, were too proud to do anything which would not be done by their European brethren, but they seem to have lost all military spirit, and to have sunk into a state of abject debasement, and of poverty unredeemed by sell-respect or by usefulness. The King seldom stirred out of late years, or went be yond the palace wail ; but inside their precincts he was subjected to constant annoyance from his numerous rel atives the Great Mogul Olivers were always 44 asking tor more." It may be imagined how this wicked, lazv. .sensual, beggarly crowd stormed and raved round the courts when there came upon them a vision of plunder, conquwt, jaghires, grants, treasures, zenanas how they yelled for blood and shouted, 44 Kill ! kill !" They were iu a state of such poverty that some of these royal fam ilies were in want of their meals, and their numbers bad increased far beyond the provision made for them. We turned out of this court, near the tower, by a breach made in the wall of houses, and, passing over the bricks, came to a large garden in a state of utter neglect and overrun with weeds, in which were a crazy kiosk and some tottering out-houses or offices. Several of the soldiers of the Sumoori Bahi, some on duty, otheis loung ing about their piled arms, were stationed close to the breach in the wall, at the foot of a rude stone staircase, some 12 or 15 feet in height, which led from the garden to the top of one of the houses of the court or enclosed space of the palace through which we had just passed. The staircase was intended to form a communication be tween the rear of the house and the garden, and ascend ing it we found ourselves in a very small open court at the top, which was formed by the flat roof of the house, and which might have been designed for another story, inasmuch as the side walls were still standing. Two sentries were on duty at the doorway of this little court at th j top of the stairs, and several native servants were in attendance inside. In a dingy, dark passage leading from the open court or terrace in which we stood to a darker room beyond, there sat, crouched on his haunches, a diminutive, atten uated old man, dressed in an ordinary and rather dirty head covered moment of our propitious, certainly it was not calculated to invest the descendant of Timour the Tartar with any factitious interest, or to throw a halo of romance arouud the infirm creature who was the symbol of extinguished empire. In fact, the ex-king was sick ; with bent body he seemed nearly prostrate over a brass basin, into which he was retching violently. So for the time we turned our backs on the doorway, and looked around the small court, which was not more than thirty feet square. In one corner, stretched on a charpoy, lay a young man of slight figure and small stature, who sat up at the sound ot our voices and salaamed respectfully. He was dress ed in fine white muslin, and had a gay yellow and blue silk sash around his waist ; his head was bare, exhibiting the curious tonsure from the forehead to the top of the head, usual among many classes in the East ; his face, oval and well shaped, was disfigured by a very coarse mouth and skin,but his eyes were quick and bright if not very pleasant in expression. Uy the side ot his charpoy stood lour white tunicked and turbauned attendants with toided arms, watching every motion of the young gentleman with obsequious anxiety. One of them said 44 He is sick," and the Commissioner gave directions that he should lie down again, and so, with another salaam, Jumma Bukht for it was that scion of the House of Delhi in whose presence we stood threw himself on his back with a sigh, and turning his head towards us, drew up the chudder, or sheet of his bed, to his face, as if to relieve himself from our presence. At the head of his bed there was a heavy-looking, thick-set lad of 13 or 14 years of age, who was, we were told, the latest I orn of the house by no means " a sweet young prince," and whose claims to the blood royal the Commissioner con sidered more or less than doubtful, considering the age of the ex-King and the character borne by the particu- ar lady who had presented the monarch with a pledge so late in his life ; but I am bound to add that, at all events, 44 he has his father's nose," and his lips are like those of J umma Bukht. The qualms of the King at last abated, and we went into the passage ; not but that we might have gone in before at any time, for all he cared. He was still gasp ing for breath, and replied by a wave of the hand mono syllable to the Commissioner. That dim-wandenng- eyed, dreamy old man, with feeble hanging netherlip and i - , i ? i toothless gums, was ne maeea one wno nau conceivea that vast plan of restoring a great empire, who had fo mented the most gigantic mutiny in the history of the world, and who from the wails oi ms ancient paiace, naa hurled defiance and sho'. ridicule upon the race that held every throne in India in the hollow ot their palms I He . ..... -1 a. a i broke silence, Alas I it was to miorm us inai ,ue uaa been very sick, and that he had retched so violently that he had filled 12 basins. This statement, which was, it must be admitted, distressingly matter of fact and unro mantic, could not, I think, have been strictly true, and nrobablv was in the matter of numeration tinctured by the spirit of Oriental exaggeration aided by the poetic imaginatiou of His Majesty , He is a poet rather erotic and warm in his choice of subject and . treatment, but vjsil was nut NO. 3. nevertheless, or may be, therefore, the esteemed author of no less than four stout volumes of meritorious verses, and is not yet satiated with the mu3e, for a day or two ago he composed some neat lines on the wall of his pris on by the aid of a burnt Btick. WTho could look on him without pity? Yes, for one instant 44 pity," till the rush of blood in that pitiless courtyard swept it from the heart ! The passage in which he sat contained nothing that I couid see but a charpoy such as those used by the poorest Indians. The old man cowered on the floor on his crossed legs, with his back against a mat which was suspended from doorway to doorway, so as to form a passage about 12 feet wide by 24 in length. Inside the mat we heard whispering, and some curious eyes glinted through the mat at the strangers informed us that the King was not quite alone. I tried in vain to let my imagination find out Timour in him. Had it been as sisted by diamond and cloth of gold, and officer of state, music and cannon, and herald and glittering cavalcade and embroidered elephantry, perhaps I might have suc ceeded ; but as it was, found I say it with regret, but with honesty and truth I found only Holywell street. The forehead is very broad indeed, and comes out sharp ly over the brows, but it recedes at once into an ignoble, Thersites-like skul! ; in the eyes were only visible the weak ness of extreme old age the dim, hazy, filmy light which seems about to guide to the great darkness; the nose, a no ble Judaic aquiline, was deprived of dignity and power by the loose-lipped, nevertheless, quivering, and gaping mouth, filled with a flaccid tongue ; but from chin and upper lip there streamed a venerable, long, wavy, inter mingling moustache and beard of white, which again all but retrieved his aspect. Recalling youth to that de crepit frame, restoring its freshness to that sunken cheek, one might see the King glowing with all the beauty of the warrior David ; but as he sat " before us I was only reminded of the poorest form of the Israelitish type as exhibited in decay and penurious greed in its poorest haunts among us. His hands and feet were delicate and fine, his garments scanty and foul. And this is the de scendant of him who 44 on the 12th of August, 1765, conferred on the East India Company the Dewanee (or lordship) of the Provinces of Bengal, hof Behar, and Orissa, and confirmed divers other possessions held by the Hon. Company under the inferior grants from the Soobadhars of Bengal, the Deccan, and Carnatic !" But a short time aeo it might have been said almost with justice of the Lion. Company 4 Tiinou has been this lord's father, And kept his credit with his purse ; 44 Supported his estate. Nay, Timon's money 44 Has paid his men their wages. He ne'er drinks, 44 But Timon's silver treads upon his lip." From the United States Economist China Trade Cotton Goods. The opening of the China trade promises to be pro ductive of great events in the next lew years, mostly as a market for American goods, since there is but little doubt that the American manufacturers will speedily supplant those of the English make, and the numbers of people to be clothed are such as almost to defy calcula tion as to the extent of the market. The area of China is 1,298,000 square miles; the population is given by Gutlaff at 367,000,000, but oth er authorities carry it to 42o,000,000, which would still give a density of settlement less than that of England, which has an area of 37,812 square miles ; has a popu lation of 19,000,000, or less than two acres jier bead, while the figures for China would give 2 acres per head. In some of the provinces of the Empire the pop ulation is 700 the square mile, but Lancashire has a population of 800 to the square mile. Those provinces of China which have been penetrated by foreigners are represented as fertile and well adapted to the support of a large population. The Chinese methods of cul tivation are also such as to give a large quantity of the popular food. The taxes levied by the govern ment are light. According to the 44 red book " of 1842 the amount was 150,000,000 taels, or 200 million dol lars, and this is derived mostly from a tax on rice lands, of which the quantity so taxed is 200,000,000 acres, or about half an acre to each individual. This land gives in the Southern regions two crops per annum. The taxes average but 50c. per head. This lightly-taxed people have tor more than a thousand years been with out expensive wars. They are a great and industrious race, and have never been subjected to that feudal slavery which in the white races of Europe has tended to absorb the wealth of the many into the hands of the few. lhey have pushed the arvs to great perfection in all branches of manufactures, and from fhese facts the inference that great wealth is there accumulated may be legitimately drawn. That people have always supplied their wants, and have at least never been ruined by what the protectionists call 44 the balance ot trade, or foreign competition. They had a large surplus of teas and siiks to sell, but beyond that they offered lew facilities to for eign trade. While the necessity lasted for paying for those articles in specie, the trade was necessarily limi ted, but the English East India Company found in the introduction of opium from their plantations the means ot correcting the balance. The growth of that trade soon caused the silver to 44 ooze out "ma manner to at tract the government attention. The opium war was the result, and 16 years since a treaty ot peace was con eluded with China by the American Minister, the great Kushincr. bv which nve Dorts were thrown orjen to trade. and the highest hopes excited of a large and rapid develop- ment of trade. Those expectations have been realized exrjectat ons have been realiznd but to a moderate extent. There has been a preater A. ,- vv has been Jmnnrf nf tpo frnm Hhinn nnrf an Jn, n of cotton goods to China took place up to the breaking out of the rebellion in 1853. Since then there has been a decline in the movement, although the imports of teas, silks, and a few minor articles, have been sustained. The discovery of gold in California, by attracting the Chinese, has led to a renewed export of goid and silver, and quicksilver, to that country, and has also led to a greater intercourse with the Chinese, of which the fruits may now be gathered, since the new treaty has greatly enlarged the terms ot intercourse, and brought foreign merchants into contact with the people. The great want of the Chinese is cotton clothing. The garments of the ri. asses are mostly made of cotton woven by hand or rude machinery, and the production of raw cotton in the country is far short of its wants, hence it affords a large market for the Bombay cotton. A population of 400,000,000 souls, whose clothing is mostly cotton, will use per head as much cotton cloth as the inhabitants of the United States, which is about 30 yards, which re quires the incredible quantity of 10,000,000 bales of cot ton, or three times the United states crop. That cot ton is grown in small quantities by all the Chinese far mers, and the cloth is home-made to a great extent. The artizans and citizens purchase the home-made cloths. They have in the last 20 years had supplies of Eng- lish and American cottons of better quality and cheaper make, but the market has been restricted to the five rket has been restricted tn the five ports. It is now the case that these goods will every where compete with the bad and dear home manufac tures of China. The result cannot be doubtful. Eng land was situated a few years since in the same position witn regard to mcua. one imported cotton goods, as well as cotton, thence, and ankeens from China. That trade ceased, and English goods were sent to India, and a greater weight of goods is now annually sent to India, Z l,nn. Tl. 4 . : J English are now to compete with each other against the home-made cottons of China in all the ports, and the field is almost limitless. China wants quicksilver and cotton goods, and will pay in tea and silks to any ex tent. 1 he dimcuity wnicn presents ltseii, however, is uivu ukVKTViiUj AbtTVUy JtVS TTWTWly AO the want ot cotton. The United States ctod is the onlv dependence for the people of America and Europe, and tne supply is too snort in average years, n may iouow that as the American goods of the kind adapted to the China market are made cheaper and better than the same kind of goods in England, that the China market will owned by a citizen, no tribunal, acting under tne autnor so command the crop that very little will be-pared to ity of the United States, whether legislative, executive Europe.

' Judge Douglas and the Dred Scott DecUlon. . EXRACT FROM JUDGE DOUGLAS SPEECH AT FbEE- port, August, 27, 1858.- First : He Lincoln desires to know whether, if the people of Kansas shall form a constitution by means entirely proper and unobjectiona ble, and ask for admission as a State bcfoie they have the requisite population for a member of Congress, Iwill vote for the admission. Well, even I regret exceedingly that, when he put that mterrogatory to me, he did not first answer it himself, instead of leaving us to infer which side he was on. Gentlemen, Mr. Trombull, da ring the last session of Congress, voted, from beginning to end, against the admission of Oregon into the Union, although a free State, because she had not the requisite population. Mr.. Trumbull is in the field fighting, for Mr. Lincoln. I would like to have Mr. Lincoln answer his own question, and tell me whether he is fighting Trumbull on that issue or not, but I will answer bis questions. In my opinion, whenever Kansas has people enough to constitute a slave State, she has people enough for a free State. I will not make any exception of Kansas to the other Istatcs of this Union. I hold it to- be a sound rule of universal application to require Territories to contain the requisite population for a member of Congress before they come into the Union. I made that proposition in the Senate in 1855. I re newed it in the Senate during the last session, by a bill providing that no Territory of the United States should form a constitution and apply to the Union until it had the requisite population. Congress did not adopt my general rule, requiring all the Territories to have that amount of population before they should ccmo into the Union, but did make an ex ception of Kansas and applied the rule to Kansas alone. I will not stand by that exception. Either Kansas must come in the same as any other State, with whatever population she may have, or the rule must be applied to all the .other States alike. I therefore answer at once, it having been decided that Kansas has enough for a slave State, I hold that she has enough for a free State. I hope Mr. Lincoln is satisfied on this question. And now I would like to get his answer to his own interrog atory, whether he will vote to admit Kansas before sho has the requisite population. I want to know whether he will vote for the admission of Oregon before she haa the requisite population. Trumbull won't. The same reason that commits him against the admission of Ore gon commits him against the admission of Kansas, and it there is any sincerity or truth in the argument Trum bull made in the Senate against the admission of Oregon, because she had not 93,420 people, although she had more than Kansas, it will apply as well to Kansas as Oregon. He stands by that argument, pledged against Oregon and Kansas both coming in untd they have 93, 420 inhabitants. I would like Mr. Lincoln to take hi3 own medicine. I would like him to answer his own question, and then if he differs with Trumbull let him answer Trumbull s argument on the Oregon question. instead ot pouing ms questions at me. 1 he next question JUr. Lincoln propounded to me is. " can the people of a Territory exclude slavery from their limits by any fair means, before it comes into the Union as a State ? 1 answer emphatically, as Mr. Lincoln has heard me answer a hundred times, on every stump in Illinois, that, in my opinion, the people of a lerritory can by lawful means exclude slavery before it comes in as a State. Mr. Lincoln knew that 1 had giv en that answer over and over again. He heard me argue the Nebraska bill on that principle all over the State in 1854-'5 and '6, and he has now no excuse to pretend to have any doubt upon that subject. Whatever the Su preme Court may hereafter decide as to the abstract ques tion of whether slavery may go in under the constitution or not, the people of a Territory have the lawful means to admit it or exclude it as they please, for the reason that slavery cannot exist a day or an hour anywhere unless supported by local police regulations, furnishing reme dies and means of enforcing the right to hold slaves. lhose local and police regulations can only be furnished by the local Legislature. If the people of the Territory are opposed to slavery they will elect members to the T t tl 1 . 11 1 . ' A juegisiaiure wno win aaopt uninenaiy legislation to it. If they are for it, they will adopt the legislative measures inendly to slavery. Hence, no matter whut may be the decision of the Supreme Court on that abstract Question, still tfie right of the people to make it a slave lerritory or a free Territory is perfect and complete under the Nebraska bill. 1 hope Mr. Lincoln will deem mu an- swer satisfactory on this point. in this connection, 1 will notice tho charge which he has renewed about the Chase amendment. I thought that I had at Ottawa chased that amendment out of Mr. Lincoln's brain, but it seems that it still haunts his im agination, and he is not yet satisfied. I had supposed that Mr. Lincoln would be ashamed to press that oues- tion lurther. He is a lawyer : he has been a member A of Congress ; yet he has occupied your time and amused you by telling you about the rules of parliamentary pro ceedings, ue ought to have known better .ban to have tried to palm off that miserable humbug upon this intel ligent audience. Now, the Nebraska bill provided tliat the legislative power and autlvority of the said Territory should extend to all rightful subjects of legislation consis tent with the organic law and lite Constitution of the United States. It did not make any exception of slavent, but gave all the power tliat it was possible for Congress P"! vivlatm, torial Legislature, witk to give without violating the Constitution, to the Terri- l",tut "lM'c """.'i" un uus tuujeu vj I ,4 7 MM J I. .

Yet he offered his amendment lor the identical purpose that Mr. Lincoln is using it lor to allow demagogues in the country to deceive the people. His amendment was to this effect, that the Legislature should have the power to ex clude slavery. General Cass suggested, 44 Why not give them the power to introduce as well as exclude slavery ?" The answer was, they have already got the power in the bill to do both. Chase was afraid his amendment would be acopted it he put in it the al ternative so as to make it fair both ways, and he was not willing to have it adopted. He wanted it rejected. He oflered -it simply to make capital out of it on the stump, that the people might be deceived in public meetings ; at least that small politicians in the country might use it ior this purpose, and Mr. Lincoln is carry ing out the plan admirably. Mr. Lincoln knows that that bin, without Uhase s amendment, gave aJl the pow er which the Constitution of the United States would permit. Could you confer any more ?
