The appointment of this man would not, according to citizens of the Ter ritory now here, be acceptable to the people, and the President has been urged Jo reconsider hi expressed in tention and select a citizen, of the Territory for the position. To a gentleman who j called to aeo him ' dfni the matter the .President aa sigued as a reason for desiring to ap point Mr. Cowgill, that he was ostra- Mseu.Boeiauy Dy tbe people in Florida because of his Bepablicanism, and that the Democrats will not permit Jim to live quietly in his : present nome.

Ear Ibqaaltes, Flood and Showers of Ashes Destrojr a Town, In Ecuador, Panama, July 16. quiet on the Isthmus. - All is According to news received by the steamship Orova, Ecuador has again been the scene of volcanic eruptions and of destructive floods, causing, it is. feared, much loss of life and de struction of property. Great quanti ties of Volcanic ashes have for days .together fallen in showers along the coast, jilt is estimated that on each square kilometer of space 313 kilo- . ' i i i t grammes or asnes nave Deen deposi ted. The j volcano of (Jotopaxi is thought to be in eruption. At l6. o'clock, on the morning of the 26th of j June, a frightful noise was heard in Latacanga, Ecuador, which was followed immediately by a tremendous flood, which, taking the course of the rivers Cuthehi, San Fe lipe and Yanayaco, and passing, washed the city to the chapel known as Elsalto. The'volume of mud and water was so great as to completely cover the Hacienda Valley, including the distillery in fiont of Latacanga. The flood in its course carried with it many cattle, and, what is more sad, many .bodies. The bridge of Lata canga, the handsome bridge of Boli var, inj Pansalco, those of wood of Calaprachan and Palate, and that of masonry . of Agoyn, were all de stroyed. All of the haciendas, sit uated on both sides of the river, have suffered enormously, and the desola tion is! terrible and complete. London Gossip Goneernlne the Amer ican Cneat of England. From the London Truth, June 28. 1 Mrs! General Grant has devoted so much time to home politics that she knows very little of our cognate men. "AM. Bright has been introduced to me who,! I hear,- is quite one of your most remarkable men," she said the other day,'and a Mr.. Blackstone I think his name was another of your public men, made my acquain tance.'' The "Mr. Blackstone," it was subsequently discovered, was no other than William Ewart Gladstone. J The cordial reception- that Gen. Grantlbas met with in this country is, and ought to be, gratifying to the Americans, because, socially, the General himself is a hard hut to crack. Most sovereigns when travelling, are anxious to put aside, so far as possible, their official rank, but Gen. Grant appears anxious to assume the vague isocial status of an ex-potentate. This readers the task of entertaining him by no means an ; easy one. " In England Cabinet Ministers have to Vield ihe pas to those who enjoy a higher hereditarys . rank, and Mr. Gladstone goes into dinner after the most obscure peer that he himself has created. So far. as we English are concerned,: we are all quite ready id ignore our own code of etiquette, and as General Grant is our guest, to let himwalk before usjif; this affords him gratification. But this is not enough for the General, whose pe culiar crotchet seem to be that he ought to have thejaa over Atnbassa dors, who are, like him, the guests of theoalioq.j This is all the more ex traordinary, because the corner stone' of American Democracy is, J had al ways imagined, that ; the 'elected Chief Magistrate,; when his term of office I isj RveP,i Jg iatisfied i with i the proud title of , a citizen of a mighty republic, the equal, but hot . the su-f perior "of every other citizen. . . : The trial ii ol; .case, Crews vs. Refts( is progressing at Oxford.

' Charlotte Democrat.! Editor Democrat: While listening w uic etpienuia apostropne or Judge Fowle on the Hon. Geo. W. Brooks, for his noble discharge of judicial uuiy in rescuing the Hirk prisoners from the despotic grasppf cruel con spirators, my mind ran hurriedly over the exciting scenes of that mem orable period, and paused to pay homage to one whose name has never been publicly connected with those events, but who really deserves the credit for that great deliverance. I refer to Haywood W. Guiori, late of Charlotte, JNI. C. ihe facts are these: that after every argument and every appeal to me oupreme uourt Judges ot .North Carolina had failed, and they had formerally announced their "Judicial exhaustion," and all hope had fled and no further r expedient could be suggested by the numerous distin guished counspl who were employed Dy tne.Jv.irk prisoners, and when they were only awaiting the organization of the Court Martial which was to hurry the! citizens of Caswell to an ignominious death, Mr. Guion ar rived in jRaleigh on other business, but' was soon called into consultation and asked ;if he could suggest any further proceeding which might promise success. After reflecting a moment his face lighted with a smile, and he replied that the 14th Amend ment to the United States Constitu tion provided "That no State should deprive any person of life, liberty or property without due process ot law;" and that the Civil Rights Bill was passed to enforce this provision. Judge Battle said the effect, was electrical, and every one began to hunt for the Civil Rights;; Bill, and there they! found the ample1, and com plete remedy in the statute for the writ of habeas corpus-to be issued by a Federal Judge whenever any pri soner alleged he was imprisoned without "due process of law." The petitions vjrere hastily prepared, pre sented to Judge Brooks, and the writs issued, which resulted in the release of the prisoners. These facts are known to but few gentlemen of the profession. Judge Battle, wbio was one of the original counsel for the Kirk prisoners, will confirm the statements made in this article. ' Spirits Turpentine.

This was the case of John Wolfe vs the Caro lina Central Railway Company, an action growing out of the running of the line of the said railroad through the lands of the plaintiff. The trial resulted ur a verdict for Mr. Wolfe in the sum of $450, which is 50 per cent, more than the board of arbi trators had previously given him, though irom this decision tbe railroad company ap pealed. j r Raleigh Observer : We 1 earn from a lady just returned from Durham, of a most horrible death that occurred in that place on Friday.

The question i3, who feeds those dogs? - Cotton is very backward in the eastern section of the county.and several farmers informed us yesterday that there was no catching up in it. We have received from the Commissioner of Agri culture, Col.l L. L. Polk, the crop j reports for the month of June, from which we con dense the following: While the average condition of the corn crop is given at 92, somewhat above what was hoped for at last report, with the rains that continue it is daily improving, and a full crop may yet be realized. Seldom, if ever, has there been a better wheat crop produced in the State. The average condition of cotton is 82, being a slight improvement over the May report, but the development and yield being dependent on so many contingencies, the prospect cannot be calculated with any cer tainty. The severe winter greatly dam aged tbe oat crop sown in the fall, and the May drought cut the yield short, but the increased acreage may compensate ior ivm the aggregate. NEW ADVERTISEMENTS. W. P.

Reminiscence of Port Warren la A correspondent in this city, "V.,j" gives us a reminiscence of the "late unpleasant ness," as follows: 1 : " "I was an inmate of Fort Warrenj when the late Mason and Slidell were incarce rated, and, in common with my fellow pri soners, noticed them particularly.! Two more opposite men in appearance and man ners itj would be difficult to find. Mr. Ma son was open, genial and sociable; Mr. Sli- dell self-poised, cold and forbidding. Their appearance, while entering the Fort, brought out in marked contrast the charac ters of the two gentlemen Mr. Mason in ms manner showing some ; little nervous ness, but more of a natural curiosity as he looked around. Mr. Slidell, with his gray shawl muffled closely around his neck, walked with the same quiet indifference with which he would alight from his own carriage and enter his own house. Escort-: ed to their quarters, Mr. Mason was' soon busy directing the details attending the proper disposition of his baggage; Mr. Sli dell promenading as if in want of i exer ciseup and down the long passage way of the building. I was standing at the end of the passage when he was approached by a gentleman, who desired instructions as to the unpacking of his trunks. Raising his head quickly and fixing his cold, glittering eyes upon the speaker, he answered in an incisive, rapid manner, "It is hardly ne cessary to unpack anything; we shall re main here only a sufficient length of time for Mr. Seward to hear from England," and Mr. Slidell was right Accidentally Shot. . J' " Dr. Bobbins, of Brunswick county, met with' quite a severe accident yesterday morning. He was handling a pistol in a store on Market street, not knowing it was loaded, when it was suddenly discharged and the ball passed into his left hand, ploughing its way through the flesh for some distance and lodging in the part of the hand near the wrist, from which! posi tion it had not been - extracted at last ac counts. Only one barrel of the pistol was loaded, and it was discharged so quickly after Dr. R. had taken it in his hand that no one had time to warn him of his Jdanger, A competent surgeon has ! charge of the case, and it is hoped that the wound, though an ugly; one, may not prove serious. ; Open Air Concerts. I " We are-glad to -'learn that, a sufficient amount has been raised, by yoluntarycon tributiohs by our citizens, . to erect a stand for the Cornet Concert Club, in which to give open air concerts for the benefit of our music-loving people during the summer season, and that the stand will be put up on Fifth, between Market and Dock streets.
