The Obsequies of Hon. Ja.mes C. Dobbin.
—We had time on Thursday for only a few words
ffliitive to the imposing cercmonioH of that morn-
iag, which were eoncludeti but a few minutes
before the hour for puttinj^ the Observer to press,
1| i>^ & -^d pleasure now to add, that in all our
mperience of Fayetteville, we have never known
^ i public demonstration of any kind which did so
ipich credit to the he?d and the heart of its
J»ople, as thiH. 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.”

of the (iO miles of stage ride from Fayetteville to

a lonf? ni^ht, is fresh enough in our minds, as
they can und*-r,stand who have gone through it.

bt‘(*n pleasant enough d/masf to atone for the
weari.someness of the other. 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. It is a pleasure to look at the house, its
furniture, and its keepers.
After a quiet “day of rest” here, we hope to
start on Monday for .^lorganton. Our proposed
route to Morganton, to Asheville, to the Warm
Springs, and to the rail road in Tennessee, in
volves upwards of 200 miles of stage travel, which
1 (not to say wo) would not have regarded ten or
twenty years ago; but the contemplation is rather
appalling now, in the fresh memory of our last
night’s experience, and looking at the mountains
which we propose to .scale. I hope we shall be
able to accomplish it, for I have long had it at
heart to go there, that I might enjoy the plea
sure of viewing some of the finest scenery in the
world, hi Xnr/h VttroUnn. I regret that sick
ness and other causes (including the difficulty of
collecting money earned and due) have delayed
I my departure full three weeks, and will limit my
• stay
I am*too weary to have .seen much of Salisbury

thiATHAM CoiNTV.—On Thursday last, the
vote of the people of (Chatham was taken in re
gard to a county subscription to the Western
' Rail Road. 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-

Koattering. j almost entirely in favor of the Democracy. j one know.s where, numbering fifty or sevouty-five.
There is a Democratic gain of 3 or 4 members! The negroes, it appears, were prepared for them,
of Congress in Kentucky, perhaps 2 in Alabama i armed themselves, and loop holed their
and 1 in Mis.souri. 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.
Name (*f 1\)st Offk!E (?HANnEi>.—We learn
by a letter from th ■ P.wt Office Department to
the Hon. Warren Winslow, that the name of the
Post Office heretofore known as Stewartstown,

“There is a remarkable and very suggestive j
fact in regard to the negro emigration into this
State. 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."

There is a better demand for American State

ment recently was looking for a site on Long Island

tors, hearing what was going on, gavi ^130,000

suaded the General Government to give §200,000.
It is a curious fact that the (jovernment generally

scruples were shocked at first at a lower prico

Free Suffrage.—We give below the vote for
and against Free Suffrage, as far as heard from.
From the very small vote given in many of the
counties in regard to this measure, we infer that
the people felt but little interest in it.

f’ROKs, kc., IS Arkan8A.s.—A letter from a
subscriber near Little Rock, Arkan.sas, dated
•Inly 11, 1857, says,—
“Our crops of corn are very good; with one
more good rain we will make very heavy crops.
Corn will not be worth more than 25 ets, per
bushel. Cotton is about two weeks later than
usual, but with a late frost we will make good
crops, say 1600 lbs. .seed cotton per acre.
1 think we will have the great Pacific Railroad
through this section (if it is ever built.) The
Pacific mail will pass through Little Rock. They
are now laying the iron on the Memphis and
Little Rock R. R. When we get railroads we
will have one of the most desirable countries in
the world. We have as good soil for corn and
cotton as there is in the world, anl much more
healthy and more easily cultivated than the Pee
Dee bottoms.”
Dr. Ro^s on Slavery.—The Publishers,
Messrs. Lippincott Sc Co., of Philadelphia, have
sent us a copy of Dr. Ross’s work on Slavery.
The book contains the Dr’s celebrated speeches
before the Presbyterian General Assembly at
New \ ork, a series of letters addressed to the
Rev. Albert Barnes, See. &c. Dr. Ross enjoys
a high reputation as an able and elojucnt Divine,
and his powers as a controversial writer developed
in thjfl book are said to be remarkable.
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

profession, which he had almost uninterruptedly
practiced for more than half a century.
“A native of the town of Bennington, in the
State of Vermont, after obtaining his medical ed
ucation, he established himself, in the year 1804,
in Fayetteville, and continued to reside there up
to the period of his death.
“For a long portion of his professional life, and,
indeed, until the infirmities of age incapacitated
him for the physical labor which it demanded,
his practice was probably as- extensive and as
laborious as that of any member of the profession
in the Stat«.
“Though characterized by no remarkable bril
liancy of intellect, he possessed a substantial and
discriminating mind, and was more conversant
with the practical application of his knowledge
to the treatment of disease, than he was with
theoretical speculations; and it is much to be re
gretted, that his modest appreciation of him.self
and of his attainments, should have prevented the
publication of the large store of valuable facts,
which the observation and experience of half a
century must have accumulated.
“In his professinal pursuits, Dr. Robinson was
distinguished for his unwearied assiduity, indefati
gable perserverence, and self-sacrificing devotion;
and by his kind, gentle and sympathizing man
ners, he won the affectionate regards of his pa
tients, and acquired for himself “troops of friends.”
“An acquaintance of many years, and a sense
of personal obligation, as one of his numererous
patients, on more than one occasion, justifies, I
think, while it piompts, the expression of the
opinion that he was one of the most benevolent
and kindhearted men it has been my fortune to
meet with.
“He furnished the best exemplar I have ever
seen, of the .spirit of the noble maxim of the Ro
man dramatist:
“Homo sum, humani nihil,
.A me alienum puto.”
“The following resolutions were ofl’ered by Dr.
Satchwell, and adopted:
“Whereas, in the mysterious dispen.sation of
!>ivine Providence, death has removed, since our
last annual meeting, an esteemed honorary mem
ber, Dr. Benjamin Robin.son, of Fayetteville;
therefore,
“Resolved, 'That in the death of Dr. Robinson,
the community have lost a kind-hearted, public-
spirited citizen, and the profession a devoted and
successful practitioner, whose death we record
with feelings of sorrow and a due sense of the loss
of so worthy and estimable a gentleman.
“Resolved, That we tender to the family of
the deceased our sympathies in ther bereavement,
and the desire to mingle our sorrows with theirs
at this sad event.
“Resolved, That a copy of these resolutions be
spread upon the records of the society, and be
transmitted by the Secretary to the family .>f the
deceased."
'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.
