The Obsequies of Hon. Ja.mes C.

It was a universal outpouring of deep rospect for the memory of the public officer who had been ‘'honest, capable, and faithful to (1m Constitution," of reverence tor the unspotted ^traeter of the Chri.'^tian gentleman, and ol Ipipotion for * true hearted friend. In honoring l^h a character our people have honored thein- ^ves. And all that was tlone wa.s done with (■ich a l Ordial sympathy, with sueh an utter pros- iBltion oi all party and sectarian feeling, with ■eh a nianife.'it&tiou of a subdue*! and saddened l^rit, as to make one think better of mankind, aad to teel that this affliction is already sanctitied to the community, individually and collectively. The assemblage was very great. Kvery move ment was marked by quiet and impressive order. Jvery thing spoken,—at the Town meeting, at Ae Bar meeting, and at the Church,—the solemn Hymns, the fervent though extempore and un- itudied Appeal to the Throne on high, and the ■oble Sermon—were in good taste, and overflow ing with the feeling of sadness and solemnity in spired by the occasion. Business was entirely suspended—the doors closed, the Church draped is the habiliments of woe. We may never know ■Dother like occasion; for it is not twice in a generation that such a man, so loved and honored by all, so without an enemy in all the world, lessen away from the midst of a single small Iftmmunity. We were so struck with the ability and appro, priateness of the Sermon, the simple eloquence of Ae Prayer, and the beauty of the Hymns, that we have applied for copies of them, and publi.sh them in this paper, satisfied that our readers will kave reason to thank us for thus presenting them. In Washington City, on Friday last, the Exe- cutive Departments of the (iovernment were closed, as a mark of respcct to the memory of Mr. Dobbin. THE ELECTION For Congressmen and Clerks of the Superior and County Courts, was held in this State on Thursday last. In this (the Third) Congressional Distrfcet there was no opposition to the lion. Warren Win.slow, the present member—although votes were cast . in several counties for O. P. Meares, P^sq. of Wilmington. The First and Sixth Districts have been more warmly contested than any others, and have been copsidered doubtful. We have received no definite returns from the 1st District, but there are re ported gains for Shaw (Dem.) in Halifax and Northampton counties. In the 0th District, we are informed by an Extra of Saturday last, from the Winston Sentinel Office, that Alfred M. Scales, Dem., has beat Col. Puryear, the present member. “Scales has an aggregate clear gain, over his vote in 1855, of 12*27.” O' «! cr.wc o c; 'q C' o C5 5c - 2 n> 2 “ — p fv . x-r^' -I — Qi .■' M ii cc .(k - j - I Taylor ~ o -1 CO .^1 o •— ii M ic c,. -r O CC ::: t- LETTER FROM THE SENIOR EDITOR.

The weather has been cool, there has been no dust, the rail road most delightfully smooth, the cars perfectly neat and comfortable, vegetation of all sorts luxuriant enough refresh the weary gaze. The best corn I have seen is upon our sands and swamps in i Cumberland—a remark which I had occasion to I make last year ut this time as to the crops on the I road to Warsaw, I begin to think, with our late I frieml Judge Strange, that our sanly lands are ' better than ve claim them to be, or than tho public is prepared to admit them to be As I said, however, a few weeks ago, the coun- i try fiom Hillsborough to this place is pleasant to look upon. The cultivation is good, the crops good, and the improvements, especially about the Yadkin, better than I hive seen elsewhere in the State. It will be .still better, for great improve ments are going on, all along the line of the road. As to eating upon the route, I need not say that we had and relished a capital supper at our good friend Mrs. Barclay’s. We had also an excel lent breakfast at Haw Hiver, and are now quar tered at a new ami very e.'tce'.lent Hotel, “the Verandah,” kept by Dr, Happoldt, late of Mor- ganton.

The vote stood; For Subscription 21*7, Against Subscription l.')4s. Remarkable ITArT.s.—We depart from our usual custom, of alluding as little as possible to the sectional question, so far as to give place to the two annexed articles—one giving an account I of an attempt to kill a settlement of free negroes I in one of the free States, in which there is such ; a vast profession of regard for the negro; and the j other containing the views of an Ohio paper upon ; the influence of negro settlements in that worst ; of all abolition States. These articles are sugges tive of reflection upon the hypocrisy of the people of the North, and upon the real kindness of the people of the South to the negro race. But we leave ail that to the good sense of our readers. lilofniy Hint in Kvansville, Indiana—Attack on the Xegroes—Desperate Conjiict. From the Evansville Journal, of 27th inst., we glean the following account of a bloody conflict between the whites and negroes of that city. It is as follows: Our town and vie.’.-ity have been under an in tense excitement since Thursday last, growing out of the negro violence committed on the Ed monds family, in the bayou. The admission of the negro to bail and a long series of offences which their neighbors have been treasuring up against the colony of blacks who live in the bottom, some five or six miles below the town, had aroused the people of the neighbor hood to a determination to get rid of the clan of •Alabama, Missouri and 'Fexas, elections have blacks at all hazards, and, on Friday night a pre- , , , ... concerted attack was made on them and their recently taken place The returns received are j dwellings, by a body of white men, gathered no Koattering. j almost entirely in favor of the Democracy. j one know.s where, numbering fifty or sevouty-five.

In the Ashlind district, in Kentucky, John B. Clay (Dem.) (son of Henry Clay) is elected over Roger Hanson, the Amer ican candidate. This is regarded as a great Demo cratic triumph, as the District gave a majority of lt)00 t^vo years ago for the American candidate, and lasi November gave a majority of tJOO for Fillmore and Donelson.

It is this: Of the twenty-five thousand free negroes in the State, the vast majority re.'^ide in counties where there are very few Abolitionists, and which have been chiefly settled by emigrants from the Southern States. These negroes appear lO have a great dread of the Abolition counties, they give them a wide berth. Thus; for example, Ashtabula has a n^ro population of 43, Geauga 7, Trumbull G.'». The other counties on the lake have a proportionate number of negroes. These eountie.s are settled almost exclusively by New England emigrants. On the other hand, Ross county, a A'irginia pcttleinent, has l!»0»> negroes; Gallia has 11!*8, and Hamilton county has over 4000. “In these counties the negro is regarded as in ferior, socially and politically, and the Aboltionist has but a slight hold. What is the cause of this striking di.screpancy/ Is it that the negro feels and knows his inferiority, and naturally attaches himself to the population which is disposed to re gard him as an inferior? Or is it that the whites in the lake shore counties are Abolitionists from an ignorance of the real character of the negro? (’ertainly there is no better mode of curing a neighborhood of Abolitionism than by inflicting on them a colony of free negroes. The only way in which (iiddings can be defeated will be by a few more such philanthropic efforts as those of Col. Mendenhall, in .settling a few hundred North (’arolina or Kentucky negroes in Ashta bula. H our Southern friends will send us their surplus negro population, let them provide that they may be located among their kind and gen erous friends in the Western Reserve. Such earnest philanthropy as they prof*ss ought not to be “wasted on the desert." The I'. S, Frigate Sn^jiie/ianiin had arrived at Liverpool.

The work is on sale at the Book Store. cabins. Which party made the first assault, or fired the first gun, it is not known. About twelve o’clock at night a brisk fusilade was opened and kept up for some minutes, after which a rush was made at the house, and the door broken in, when a hand to hand struggle en sued, in which bowie knives, clubs and cleavers were the weapons used. Many on both .sides were severely cut and beaten. A man by the name of Alexander Maddux received three cuts in the head, one shoulder and arm. Another man by the name of .loseph Glass received a ball in the head. Glass is reported dead, and Maddux iu a very critical condition. A German was shot in the thigh, and had one of his fingers shot off. Many others were fdightly wounded. It was ex ceedingly difficult to get at the truth of the mat ter amid the excitement and conflicting state ments. Both parties were seriously beaten in the engagement, but we have not heard of any fatal wounds except those mentioned. (>n Saturday the excitement was increased by the above occurrences, and a more serious and a wider combination was evidently forming to drive off or exterminate the blacks, who form a com munity of one hundred and fifty or two hundred in the bottom. Serious apprehensions were felt that a bloody drama would be enacted. Several judicious citizens addres.sed a note to Sheriff Gavitt, who, aided by Sheriff’ Hall and Sheriff' McBride, repaired privately to the cabins of the blacks, in anticipation of the movements of the whites, and induced the offending negroes to place themselves under their charge and they were brought to the city in the afternoon, and placed in secure quarters, and out of harm’s way. The community, by judicious movement, well execu ted, have probably been spared a painful and dou ble tragedy. An old black woman, the mother of the family, received a severe blow upon the head from a gun stock, and a black boy was knocked down with a pistol barrel. One white boy was seVerely cut on the head from a blow with a cleaver, which Cp.Vf.MERCIAL IIECORI). ARRIVALS. C. F.

'Phe lo.ss and injury by the late accident on the Wilmington and Weldon Railroad turns out to be nothing like as great as had been apprehended. All who were hurt in any way are out and about. The cars, supposed to have been “smashed up” are hardly the worse, but little even of their glass having been broken. The cost of repairs will be very trifling.—The road w.as in running order in twenty-four hours. The locomotive even, apart from the broken axle, is hardly the worse. Wilminjton Journal.
