A i’lTlZKN OF FaYKTTEVII.LE IN’ THE CaI'ITAL ;if ( HINA.— We had the pleasure last week of ht-ariiii: road portions ot a long and interesting private letter from Dr. John "W. Sandford of this town. ‘.>ne ot the Surgeons of the l\ S. frigate ri whatan. written at Shanghai, in August last, .11 his r*“turn from IVking, in the suite of Mr. Ward, the Anjeriean Minister. Dr. Sandtord was unfortunately taken sick on his arrival at IVkiiig, and did not leave his bed during the tortiiiuht of the stay of the embassy in that city. Thi'so who were well, however, saw about as lit tle as he did ot the great city, from which hereto- furo loreigners have been so generally excluded, and to which they may possibly hereafter have a.' little access. In his letter Dr. S. enclosed a portion of the • North China Herald|” a newspaper printed in the Knglish language at Shanghai. It contains a long account of the trip to Peking, and of the death, on the way back, of the Rev. W. Aitchi- son, a Missionary, who accompanied the expedi tion as an interpreter. WiiiMiN’OTON & Manchester Railroad.— It is highly encouraging to the friends of internal improvement in North Carolina to find that all our railroads i except the Atlantic,) are beginning to pay, some of them very well. The Wilmington \ \Veldot» j)ays eight per cent., besides considera bly reducing its debt. The Raleigh (Jaston six per cent., reducing its debt and building shops also. The Central is probably earning five or six per cent, already on even its enormous cost. And lastly the Wilmington & Manchester earned dur ing the last twelve months S20U,793 07 over it expenses. Out of this it paid off 862,530 I'' of del>t, ?78,924 93 of interest, and ?3l!,17y 32 in constructing work shops, I'ic., which have been L'reatly needed and will save a large amount ol expenses each year. After paying interest on debt, the net earnings upon the capital stock were 11.61 per cent. The debt is now 81,114,900 07. I’ayinL' off this at the rate of sixty or seventy thousand dollars a year, the company will soon be able to divide a reasonable profit among the stock holders. Till- stockholders, at their meeting in Wilming ton hist week, agreed to subscribe 815,000 to a line il steamers between New York and Wilmington; and the Wilmington & Weldon Company has au thorized a similar subscription of 830,000. Thus. D. Walker, E.sq. was was re-elected Pre sident, without opjMtaition, and his salary was in- (Tt“u.'cd to 83000. The old Roard of Directors was re-elected. l-'iKE i.N Salisbury.—Ry letter from a friend in .''alisbury we learn that on Wednesday morn- inir last the old Methodist Church building was 'l.->troyed by fire. It stood within or 10 feet ol a new brick church erected by the Methodist ■'on-rcL^ation last year, and has recently been u.sed tor the meetings of the colored members of the congregation. I’hey had held a meeting in it on Tuesday evening, and the fire, which broke out j'bout 7 o’clock the next morning, is supposed to have originated from some carelessness of the negroes. Ry great efforts the new church and the out-houses of the Royden House, also very near, were saved. 'I'wo IncENDIARIKS CAL(iHT IN SaLISBI RY. —The >iame letter informs us that on Wednesday last two young men from Connecticut, book j»cd- 'ih rs, were detected trading with negroes, carried ' fore the Intendant, and, in default of bail, were f oiuniitted to jail, to await trial at the next ('ounty ' oiirt. There was found in their trunks or car- ] ' t bags a long list of names of slaves between l^a’cigh and Salisbury. Two More SuppOHKD Incendiaries at IIen- ' eksdn.—A letter to the Petersburg Express ‘rum Henderson, N. C., mentions the appearance there of two suspicious men, who, after loitering ahout for some days, went off without paying their hutel bills. \N e publish these things for the double pur pose of putting Southern people on their guard against strollers who have no apparent business, and of moat earnestly cautioning against any thing like Jjjni'h law towards them. The laws arc ample to protect the South against them, and let us be careful to give no ground for clamor by re sorting to any thing but the laws. Another Rank in North Carolina.—The Franklin (Macon county) Observer publishes a nntice signed by the commissioners re^uestin “the stockholders of the Miners’ and IManters’ Hank to meet in the town of Murphy, N. C., on the first Monday in December next, for the pur- )>ose ot making such regulations as are necessary to put said Rank into operation. It is desired fliat all the preliminary steps be taken to have the^ Bank in operation by the first day of January This Rank was chartered by the laat Legisla ture. (’apital 8400,000. Shares 850 each. To K'- into operation when 8100,000 are subscribed, ■wid 8.)0,000 paid in. >t.\te Stocks. The latest sales of North ''ari.liua Ronds in New York are reported at 98j. Urgiaia 931. Teanessee 90|. Missouri 84|, Prospects op the Union.—We copy a judi cious article from the Raltimore American on the present gloomy prospect for the continuance of the Union. Whilst w6 fervently join in the prayer of the American for its perpetuity, we confess that we are less hopeful than that paper. Extremists only are heard, in both sections. In view of the great outrages perpetrated upon the South, by a regular system of stealiug our pro perty; in view of the fact, that the whole North either assists those who perpetrate this great wrong or at lea.st stand by and do not assist to prevent or to punish it; in view of the daring in vasion of* Virginia, and the almost universal sym pathy of the North with the bold bad men who undertook it—how can Southern men feel other wise than deeply indignant? It is not surprising that some of the most intemperate give expression to such feelings, in language both violent and in sulting; whilst even calm and moderate men feel too deeply to rebuke such expressions. The most they can do is to refrain themselves from the use of irritating language. At the North, on the other hand, though there was for a w’eek or two a general condemnation of John Rrown’s wicked outrage, that soon passed away. Public opinion against the South and its constitutionally guaran teed institution proved too strong for the continu ance of the first impulsive and right feeling. It might possibly have been otherwise if the natural feelings of Soutliern people could have been sup pressed, or vented in language le.ss irritating, and in some respects unjust. Rut bitterness here has called forth bitterness and hostility there, until now there seems but little hope for the future. The American cites the example of England, where civil wars have all ended without separa tion. Unfortunately our case is different from that of England. She had no such viust extent of territory, or such diversity of climate and of pursuits, and especially of institutions, in respect to which a fanaticism fiercer than t :n furies has sprung up. Consequently her feuds were not sectional, as ours are. There are other peculiari ties of the contest here, which it would be impru dent to state, but which are apparent to every mind, and which render it impo.ssible to allay the strife until the North shall cease to wage war upon the South—and of that we confess that we see no hope. Instead of that peace and those acts of good neighborhood to which the South is en titled by every law, human and divine, not a fin ger is rai.sed, scarce a voice is heard, against the daily open and avowed outrages upon our rights. It is impossible that this should continue without a disruption. And we have no hope, as we have said, that it will cease. hat may be behind disunion, we eannot tell; but we anticipate nothing good for either section. It seems to us the sheerest folly to hope for in creased prosperity or greatness for either. Yet if evtry Southern man were as fully convinced as we are, that disunion will be a dire calamity for both North and South, still we could not hope for a long continuance of a union under a state of opinion and action and even a systeia of laws at the North which tolerates and legalizes a daily robbery and outrage of the South. It is not in human nature to stand such things. So little is known at the North of the real feel ing at the South, that the i'^ea of disunion is uni versally treated as ridiculous. Some, like the braggadocio General of the N. Y. Courier and Enquirer, even talk of ‘'whipping the South into obedience;” but the most common feeling is, that disunion is only an idle threat. It was so once; but it is no longer so. The first evidence we have seen of an awakening from this state of false security, is furnished by the N. Y. Times of Wednesday last. That paper publishes a letter from “its Virginia correspondent,” giving a gloomy account of the state of feeling in that State. It is manifest that the correspondent is no Virginian, but .some fanatic from the North; and that whilst he exaggerates his picture of the A’irginia panic, much that he writes about crime, the trial by jury, religion, infidelity, kc., is applicable only to the great cities at the North; and has no foundation as applied to any Southern State. Rut there ap pears to have been enough in the picture to arouse and alarm the Times. It says, and says truly,— “The Harper’s Ferry invasion has shaken the confidence of the South^in the good faith of the North to its basis. The people of Virginia regard it as only an indication of Northern sentiment,— the first of many similar inroads upon their peace. They construe the speeches and lectures and Abo litionist demonstrations of sympathy at the North, as proof positive that tlie movement is substan tially approved and indorsed by the Northern people. Why, they ask, is Wendell Philijis ap plauded when he lectures on this subject? Why are Garrison and Douglas tolerated in their ap peals for aid to Brown? Why does the North solicit the commutation of his sentence, and why are no meetings held to denounce his crime and tocalld own vengeance on him and his accomplices? * * * * This is the style in which they rea.son,—and it is perfectly natural under the cir- cum.stances.” Indeed it is natural. And well may the Times add, “We are not surprised to find it impossible to convince the Virginians that they mistake en tirely the temper of our people and magnify im mensely the perils to which they arc exposed.” It will indeed require something more efl'ective than words to fasten such a conviction on the Southern mind. The Times says that our ene mies “are few in number, and utterly contemptible in position and influence.” If it were so, would not the great majority put a stop to the stealing of Southern property by these few and contemp tible rogues, instead of allowing them to precipi tate upon the country disunion and civil war? Would they not take some steps to prevent the invasion of a Southern State, either by a John Brown gang or by proposed rescuers of John Rrown? When a band of fillibusters is preparing to leave our shores to perpetrate an outrage against any foreign country, the Executive and Judicial powers are put in motion to arrest it. Rut here are fillibusters of the worst sort coming to a sister Stiite with the very worst and most ferocious inten tions that ever fired human bosoms, and what says or what does a single one of these united sove reign ties to prevent the wrong or to correct the wrong doers? As the Richmond Whig well asks,— “If two thoufiand persons can be ateembled in Roston one night to sympathize with old Rrown and raise money for his family, why cannot tw’o thousand persons be assembled in the same city the next night, to denounce old Rrown and his murderous foray, if there be the number of con servatives there that we are told there are? And so in regard to New York and all the cities and neighborhoods of the North. A conservatism that is wholly silent and inactive, what is it worth to us? What is it worth in the way of rebuking Abolition fanaticism, and preserving the Union?” Since the above was written, the Times of Thursday has ccmie to hand, in which we find further evidence of an awakening to the njomen- tous nature of the impending crisis, in the follow ing earnest statenient of the duty of the Northern States themselves to put down any attempt from their borders to rescue John Brown and hisgang:— “We think that the authorities of the I’ree States owe it to themselves, and to the whole country, to defeat any such attempt that may be on foot, and to exercise special vigilance for its detection. If we are bound to prevent armed in vasion from our shores of the territories of a for eign power, we are under tenfold greater obligations to prevent any forcible interference, on the part of our people, with the administration of justice in a sister State. * * * No other State in the I'nion can rightfully interfere with her authority in this ro.spect:—ajid any attempt at such inter- Icrence by forcible means should be arrested and punished with the utmost vigor. “It is not ea.sy to estimate the di.sastrous effect of an armed attempt at rescue ujiou the peace of the country. It would, as a matter of course, be met with armsd resistance,—and the two sections might find themselves suddenly and hopelessly phniged into a state of actual war. For passion, stimulated by blood, is fearfully contagious; and no such collision could take jilace without rous ing, in the hearts of thousands, the unreasoning spirit of resentment and revenge. We have very little fear of any disunion of these States, to be brought about by a calm reflection and on a care ful calculation of eonsctjuenees. Rut from such conflicts as would inevitably grow out of an arm ed attempt at the rescue of Rrown, it is impossi ble to say what bad results might not arise. If there be therefore, in any Northern State, within the knowledge, actual or pussible, of its authori ties, any such movements as those which have been denounced to Gov. Wise, we regard it a.s a natter of the highest duty to put forth every pos sible effort for their suppression.” This is the language for the occasion. Let us see if it will be heeded in the proper (juartcrs. The Winston Sentinel cannot see how it per verted wiiat we said on the subject of punishing John Brown. It is very plain to us, l)ut we need fcike no further trouble to convince the Sentinel of it, since it has nun- allowed its readers (as it did not before) to see that the recommendation which we copied with favor under the then existing cir- cumsUinces, was that Brown should be imprisoned for life at hard labor in the pcnitentiar), instead of being hanged—though it has taken especial care to omit that paragraph which showed that the recommendation originated with the J)t- nwrratic Journal of Commerce. The Sentinel misapprehends us in another respect. The “con cession” proposed was not a concession to our ene mies, as the Sentinel has it; they asked and de sired nothing better than that Brown be hanged; but it was a concession to our f rit tu/s, such as the Journal of (’ommerce. It may or may not be wise for our people to listen with respect to the advice of their known and tried friends, situatoJ iis they are so as to be able to judge better than we can of the eflect of a certain suggested course. In our opinion it would have been wise th^u. The Sen tinel thinks otherwise, and resents the ad\ice as though it were an interference of enemies, “add ing in.xult to injury,” so it says. The South has not too many true friends at the North, that she can afford thus to huff them. The Sentinel thinks it had “rea.sons quite suffi cient to justify its publication of Seward's Koches- ter speech, viz: to show the character of the man who, in all probability, will be elected Presi dent of these United State.-', should the Southern Opposition in lM)U, do as they did in ls56,— throw their votes away upon a side candidate,— there being in the country in fact but two great political parties,—the National Domocratic and the Black Republican.” Heaven help the country it it shall ever come to pa.ss that there are only these two parties. It is not so now, and we trust it never will be so. The Seniinel may perhaps find, sooner than it ex pects, that it is not so, that the Opposition party is still a power in the country, as indeed the late New York election showed it to be. Rut for the Opposition party, every State officer would have been elected from the Republican party, and that great State would no longer have been debateable ground. This idea of the Southern Opposition contribut ing to the election of Seward is a sorry scarecrow, set up to give an excu.se to those who wish to go where “sp«>ils” are supposed to abound. The vote for Mr. I’illmore in lx5() certaitily had no sucli effect, and it seems to us neither frank nor fair to assert that it will in IstiU. The Sentinel rather ))lumes itself on the fact which it states, that the IJochester speech that it published if» not the speech of which Mr. Gilmer franked a copy, ov even several co{>ies, if there were several. Now i/r think that this only gives Mr. (Jilmcr another advantage over the Sentinel; for the Hochester speech is notoriously the very worst of Seward’s speeches. If Mr. (iilmcr was a traitor for franking one or one dozen of Seward’s less objectionable speeches, what is the Winston Sentinel for scattering over the country hundreds of Seward’s worst speech? True the Sentinel had a motive for the publication: it wished to show how bad Seward s sentiments are. Well this was precisely the motive avowed by Mr. Gilmer; and if the Sentinel rejected it in Mr. (Jilmer’s case, with what propriety can it rely on it in its own case? If there was “gathered up” “a bundle of these incendiary documents,” franked by Mr. (jil- mer, there might be hundreds of bundles of the Winston Sentinel gathered up, with a still more “incendiary document.” Rut there appears to be one code for a Democrat, and another and very different one for a Whig. We confess that we are surprised and mortified to see the Sentinel renew the stale, disproved charge, that Joshua R. Giddings of Ohio had congratulated and kissed Mr. (iilmer; and that “during the last Congress these gentlemen were ‘hail fellow well met.’” If we mistake not, the Sentinel itj»elf published Shaw’s speech last win ter, in which this scandalous story was disproved, at least the only part of it which was ever asserted. The charge that Giddings “kissed” him was never made until now ’oy the Winston Sentinel. Re sides lowering the character of the press—cer tainly none too high now—the effect of such things as this is, like the publication of Seward’s speech, to encourage our enemies. How much more patriotic is the language of the Raleigh Standard, which says on Saturday last,— e are not disposed, in a crisis like the present, to make party capital out of the (juestion of slavery . \V e must all look above party when I the Constitution and Union are at stake.” LATER FROM EUROPE. | New York, Nov. 25.—The Vigo, from South-! ampton 9th, has arrived. The French Chinese expedition is progressing; ! it will consist of 10,000 men. France and Eng- j land are in complete accord in this matter. | The Tuscan correspondent of the London Times, ‘ insists that it is the drift of France and Austria ; to destroy the imstige of the King of Sardinia, j and thus to give the death-blow to national aspi rations in Italy. The Russians have a large naval force at Jeddo. It is feared that there will be trouble in conse quence of the murder of three Russians. The Circa-ssian (see preceding page) brings la ter commercial news. New York, Nov. 25.—The Africa arrived here this evening with Liverpool dates of the 12th. The news generally has been anticipated by the Circa.ssian at St. Johns on Wednesday. The nine hours’ movement in London had end ed. The building trades, having carefully con sidered their positions, have determined to with draw the strike. The Times has an article showing the prevalent feeling of France on the question of a war with England. The chief authority for its opinions is a respttctabie French review published in Lon don. It is stated that in France the prospect of a war with Fhigland was incess'antly discussed in the high places of power, in the public offices, in the iU'my and navy, as well as among the working classes and men of business. The army is unanimous for war, while in the navy the desire for it amounts almost to frenzy. The church is as eager as either the army or navy. The conclusions are that in a war with England, the French empire has the power of satisfying the army and navy, gratifying the clergy, winning over the legitimists, and securing the suffrage of a united people. HARPER’S FERRY AFFAIRS. Washington, Nov. 25.—According to the re ported conversations with Governor Wise, recent ly, in this cit\, he has no doubt of the existence of secret societies in various portions of Ohio and elsewhere, the members of which are bound not only to rescue Rrown, but to take revenge on those who were insirumental in the conviction of him and his associates. The letters which the (Jovernor has received upon this subject are from men in whose word he places the fullest confidence, but whose names will not be revealed by him. Mon- TroopA for CfiarlcKtou n.—The Enquir er says that Ciov. Wise, upon his return from Charlestown ordered 5U0 more troops to that place. The F^nquirer also says that “There is no truth in the despatch that Gov. Chase had informed Gov. Wise of men now arming in Ohio, nor of Gov. Wise’s reply. Nor that Gov. Packer had tendered I0,UO(J troops to the Executive of Vir ginia, nor is there any reliance to be placed in the reports and despatches that now flood the papers, relating to military affairs, at Charlestown.” Ch.vrlestown, Nov. 25.—All is quiet, with occasional alarms and rumors, amounting to little or nothing. Four companies of the military are (juartered at the court-house. Gen. Talliaferro has taken command. It is rumored that Rrown has greatly changed during the last twenty-four hours, and is becoming quit*.- penitent. LATE FROM MENICO cV: BROWNSVILLE. New Orleans, Nov. 26.

Scott, dated “Straits of Fuca, Oct. 27th,’' by telegraph from Leavenworth 24th, which runs as follows; ‘‘Two days ago I despatched a communication to (iovernor Douglas, jiroposing a temporary ad justment on the basis suggested by the President. >0 answer has yet been received. The proposi tion will no doubt be accepted. F^verything here is tranquil.” Sackville, N. s., Nov. 25. The ]yr>i:ktd Strunur.—The Indian had 38 passengers, a crew of lUU men, 800 tons of cargo, and Some specie. The j)a.«sengers and crew took to the boats, one of which capsized, drowning several, and another was stove alongside the steamer.
