Our readers will recollect the mention made some days ago in the Progress of the accidental death of Mr. Win. Lee, in the upper part of tliis county. The particulars as we have heard them from a gentleman who resides in the vicinity, are these : Mr. Lee took his gun on last Sunday week and went out to hunt turkies, and not coming in towards night, his wife, becoming alarmed, , sounded a horn. This drew the neighbors torref her. I who, next morning, went in search of Mr. Lee, and soon found him about a half a mile from his house, dead. He was lying on the grouud with his gun and a dead turkey beside him. The only injury percep tible about Ins body was a small wound in the tem ple. The jury of inquest rendered a verdict of acci dental death from his own gun they coming to the conclusion that he fired the gun which being over charged " kicked," and that the hammer made the fracture in the temple. We understand that many doubt bis having come to his death iu this way, and that consequently much excitement. nnvili in !. neighborhood relative to the matter. .

We understand some one or two hundred ponies were caught, but that very few were sold owing to the bad plight they were hij and the high prices asked for them. Everything passed off very agreeably, so far as we could learn, except on Tuesday evening, just af ter dark the Steamer Johnson, bound to Carolina ( City, freighted with some "5 or 80 passengers, en- J countered a very heavy storm of wind and rain near the town of Beaufort, and came very near capsizing. The passengers were v.-ry much frightened, aud we learn that several of them prayed devoutly to the God of storms to stay the surging of the raging billows. The oiliecrs of the boat, however, remained calm, and succeeded in bringing her in port safely. Having learned to pray we hope they will continue and profit by the exercise. Watch House Rkports. The only case before the Mayor yesterday morning was brought against Robert Cershaw and William Fosky for riotous and disorderly conduct.

It is certainly very kind of the Salisbury pa pers, the Bannerjand Watchman, to sermonize the people of this section and especially the citizens of Newbern on the rules of propriety, good be havior, &c, but in their allusions to the late meet ing of the Stockholders of the Atlantic and North Carolina Railroad they have both ha J their credulity very badly imposed upon, or shown a most reckless disregard of truth. In the first place the Watchmac made two gross blunders in an article last week relative to the origin of the troubles between Messrs. Green and Moreliead, and in asserting that the Progress re ported the Proceedings. The $50,000 was not the origin of the difficulty between those gentle men. Don't know where the Watchman got its information from don't care it is incorrect, that's all. It was also mistaken in the statement that the Progress reported the proceedings of the j meeting. We did not attempt to report them, and moreover we distinctly stated that we were not reporting the proceedings. The Watchman's statement then that we did was simply untrue. We should not have noticed the Watchman's ar ticle, however, but for the fact that another state ment appears in the Banner of this week which is untrue.

With "regard to the Hudson River, so noted for the picturesque beauty of its banks, wlicro gra slopes, thriving towns, towering mountains, a'.1 overhanging cliffs are seen, I purpose to be as brief as possible. We pass on meeting many vessels, barges and steamers. At length the Catskill Mountains ap pear in the distance, looking like a sombre cloud stretching along the horizon. As our boat splash es along leaving a line of foamy track, we near the Catskill Mountains, and soon is seen the Mountain House, or Hotel, (twelve miles distant) nestling like a white swan upon the bosom of a placid Lake. This House, 'tis said, stands at an elevation of eighteen hundred feet above the . 1 f , , f . , river; anu irom winch oi course there is a mag nificent view the Hudson appearing like a little rill meandering its way round the hills. We pass the town of Hudson now, which stands on a bold Utile ttnil attempting to retreat.- On the square base cfjfhis column is the names of Dado and his officermong which is the name of Dr. Gatlin of lhent:dical staff, a son of the Old North State, now itjjribered among her jewels.

There are three candidates, all democrats, for the seat in Congress made vacant by the recent death of Hon. W. O. Goode, from the Petersburg district, Ya. lioger A.

A courtezan named Flora Wil son went in the river bathing at Wilmington on Monday night and was drowned. She was. it rent, if not real, discrimations in favor of New- bern and against all other interests, was, we learn, freely admitted in the late meeting of stock-holders; and the general admission of the error may be fairly construed into an expression of a will ingness to correct it." Don't know how or where the Banner got its information upon which to predicate the above remarks, but we know, as does every one who attended the meetings of the Stockholders, that the statements are untrue. Ex-Gov. Moreliead bored the meeting for some time in questions con cerning the tariff, and Mr. Whitford, the Presi dent, made explanations relative thereto which were satisfactory to all present save jobbers in the " Land Companies " aDOut the Harbor and bangers on in that vicinity. No such admission was made as charged by the Banner. We do not charge the Watchman and Banner with, being in the service of land speculators, as we know some others to be, nor a desire to make incorrect statements we know the editors of both papers and we do not believe them capable of any such thing, nor can any one who does know them ; but really they both have been singularly unfor tunate in their sources of information in all mat ters which, concern Newbern. Notwithstanding their sympathies with the " embryo cities " if, in future, they will get their information in matters which concern this town and its people from any other source rather than disappointed land jobbers we think that they will come nearer doing us justice and be less liable to be mortified afterwards at the consciousness of having been misled br others to the publication of statements that are untrue. The people of Craven County and of Newbern having done more than any other section in build ing the Eoafl they have more right to control it than any other party, and we now say to the Watchman and Banner, and to all others, (disap pointed land speculators and political tricksters to the contrary notwithstanding,) that they mean to have their share of its control as long as it is a Eoad, and that they are determined that it never shall be managed by those few disappointed spec ulators - who, having failed in realizing anticipa ted profits in making cities," now wish to make it up by the improper use of this corporation.

Our esteemed friend in New York who has just returned from a flying tour through some of the New England States and through a portion of New York State gives us to-day the last of a se ries of most pleasing, interesting and instructive letters.

The Directors of the Atlantic and North Carolina Railroad met at the Company's .Office in this place on yesterday, and will continue in session, we lea.tn. to-day. .We were not able to leam last nrght the na ture of the business transacted during the sittings yesterttay. . We. believe that it was expected that the freight tariff would be revised at this meet ipg, and that the rates of passenger fare would undergo another change.

Numerous complaints having been made by grocerymeii and landlords against delinquent policemen in New York, the Deputy Superintendent has issued the following order: "That any member of the Police who is found guilty of neglecting the payment of his just debts, for necessaries and rent, or is found guilty of any act of insurbordiuation or disrespect to ward his superiors or others, or conduct unworthy of his station, may be reprimanded, fined, or have deductions made from his pay proportionate to his offence, and in case of gross or repeated viola tions of the rule, be dismissed or suspended from office, finally, or for a limited time." on touching at Newburg, which is 8 miles above West Point, and near which stands the old stone mansion which was Gen. Washington's head quarters at one time, during the devolution, and at which place he replied to the letter of Lewis Nicola, and other officers, proposing to him to es tablish a monarchy, and make himself King. In his reply, it will be remembered, he rebuked the writer, and treated the proposition with his char actciistic contempt and scorn of a mean action ; and asked " what he had ever done to encourage a proposition, so filled with the greatest evils that could befall his Country." We now see the highlands of the Hudson be ginning at Newburg, whose towering hills start up from the very waters edge, some of which are clothed by a dense forest up to the very top. We now land at West Point, which stands on a promontory 188 feet above the river, where there I is a level or plateau, of more than a mile in cir cumference, around which stands the Military Academy buildings, which are arranged in the very best manner for the accommodation of the Cadets, who number between 250 and 300, now encamped on the plane is some 85 tents ; and who are under the strictest Army discipline, perform ing in rotation the duties of sentinels, &.c, at all times, day and night, rain or shine.

Thj regret arises from the fact that there is no man in this country whom I would more delight to honor than your distingished guest. I regard him ai not only one of the ablest, but one of the purest; and most reliable statesmen in the Union; and i ithis feeling, I am harmy to sav. the neonle of Noith Carolina participate without distinction of party. As a reprsentative from the State of Georsria Mr. Stephens has shown himself capable of filling me nigncsi position unuer the government ; and it is most natural that his countrymen should have their iitention turned towards him in connection with such positions.

Maffit, then in his prime, delivered a lecture which closed with the follow ing fine passage : The Phoenix, fabled bird of antiquity, when it felt the chill advances of age, built its own fune ral urn and fired its pyre by means which nature's instinct taught. All its plumage, and its form of beauty bacame ashes, but ever would rise the young beautiful from the urn of death, and chambers of decay would the fledgeling come, with its eyes turned towards the sun, and essaying its dark velvet wings, sprinkled with gold and fringed with silver, on the balmy air, raising a little higher, until at length, in the full confidence of flight, it gives a cry of joy, and soon becomes a glittering speck in the deep bosom of the aerial ocean a lovely voyager of earth, bound on its hevenward journey to the sun! fco rises the spirit bira irom the ruins ot the body, the funeral urn which its maker built, and death fires.

DrFFEREJfCE Between England &; France. The Now York correspondent of the Washing ton National Intelligencer writes : " Somcthincr like a speck of difference between the French and British governments had arisen in respect to an alledsred volation ot 1 urkish territory by a 1' rench frigate on the Albanian coast. The commander of the frigate landed sonic monov and arms for the use of some parties in the interior, ne ghbors to Austria, and the French had additionally em ployed tour J!nglish merchant vessels to land coal and munitions of war. It looks as if the French intended establishing a depot at the spot. The Porte has protested against the occupation of its territory by the French. Observing the Enemy from a Balloon. The French Emperor employed the brothers God ard to take an observation from a balloon of the position of the enemy at Castelncdola. M. God ard rose to a height from five hundred to seven hundred yards, stopped for a minute or so, and then descended again, with as much regularity as he had shown in ascending. It is belived that the balloon will be a useful auxilary in the war. Sudden Death. On Saturday morning last. says the Tobacco Plant, it was annouced on the street of Clarksville that Celed H. Turner had that morning been found dead in his bed. at the residence of Mr. John S. Field, in this countv. where he was then on a visit. Mr. Turner was one of the first inhabitants of this place, and though he regarded lialcigh, N. C, as his home, he spent a good portion ot every year here. He was born in October, 177G, and was consequently in his 83rd year. He was in ordinary health up to a late hour Friday night.

A day or two previous to the public aunouncement of Sickles' reconciliation with his wife the following appear ed in the New York Correspondence of the Bos ton " Atlas : " " I see upon the books of the St. Nicholas the name of 'Miss Kidgely,' of Washington, D. C This is the same young lady who figured in the Sickles trial, and who witnessed the confession of Mrs. Sickles She is said to be here as the guest of Mr. Sickles, who is living with his friend, Mr. Field." LATER FROM CALIFORNIA.. St. Locis July 20th. The Overland California mail has arrived. The Italians of San Francisco have raised $5000 to aid their country's indepen dence. The citizens of Carson Valley had called a con vention to consider the public safety The weather was hot throughout the State, parching vegetation. A Sivocco had swept over Santa Barbara County kililng the anilmals and literally roasting the truit 011 the trees. The news from Frazer River was discouraging M. Blosdin's Last Walk across Niagara. On Thursday last M. Bloaidin walked his rope at Niagara for the last time in presence of an im mense multitude 01 people, adoui iwo nunureu Buffalonians were present, besides some ten or fifteen thousand persons from other places. Blon din walked the rope from the American to the Canada shore backwards, and when near the cen tre of the river, waited until the steamer Maid of the Mist came beneath, bringing Travis, the great shooter. Blondin held his hat at arm's length, and Travis, standing on the steamer, fired a pistol ball through it. The hat was then lowered to the boat, that the marksman might see what he had done. Travis was satisfied and returned the hat to Blondin, who went on his way. Returning from the Canada side, Blondin pushed a wheel barrow across. TLe wheel had a grooved rim to fit the rope, and the handles of the vehicle were suspended by a cord around his neck. He car ried hiss balancing pole with him while pushing the Darrow. This was the last walking at Nia gara. Judge Ruffin. We learn, says the Goldsboro' Tribune, that the name of Judge Ruffin, of the Supreme Court of the State, has been mentioned elsewhere in connection with the Presidency. A friend in Philadelphia, writing on this subject, says : " I would nominate George Mifflin Dallas of this city and State, and if you would not agree with me, I would, with pleasure, go for a man of tha " old North State," viz : Hon. Thomas Ruffin, either of whom would make a most excellent President." . . - Our friend is right in this matter ; but of course we would go for Judge Ruffin, and do not see why bis name should not be submitted to the Charleston Convention, nor why a President should not come from North Carolina, when she can present one every way worthy and welliqual ified, in the person of Judge Ruffin. We would like to hear what " our folks " gay about it, merry drum rattles off the Reveille, when each man turns out to his duty with promptness. At 4 to 7 A. M., the breakfast call " peas upon a trancher," is heard, when they form and march down to the mess rooms to breakfast. At 8 o'clock the drum call is beat for dress pa rade, when the four companies form a battalion, pass inspection, and review, and the sergeants make their reports. Then comes the beat off by the band, and the battalion is dissinissed save the relief guard, numbering about twenty, who pass inspection and are marched in front of the guard tents, the old guard being relieved for breakfast At 10 A. M. the bugle call is heard for cavalry and the drum call for artillery practice. These daily duties continue for several months. The Cadets while on parade, especially, attract univer sal admiration, exhibiting such a perfect drill and soldierly bearing. From several with whom I am personally ac quainted, I heard but one complaint, and that is of the miserable fare provided for them, (I sup pose by contract,) a remonstrance against which they are prevented from making by, perhaps, a false pride. But it does seem that if salt beef, potatoes, stale bread, and what is given to them for good butter, and a beverage simply named coffee, day after day for 4 or 5 years, tends to aid in developing the physical and mental qualities of the young gentlemen of West Point, it surely, as food, can't bring much contentment to them, and the Department should look to it. For dinner the usual drum call is made and they march to the mess rooms. At 7 o'clock, P. M. there is a parade similar to the morning parade, and at tattoo, past 10, the lights are all put out, and every man must be at his quarters or post ; and as the night rolls on, every two hours, you'l here the call for the turn out of relief guard. Such is a brief glimpse of West Point, without allusion to the various studies, which enables the Cadet, to obtain a thorough education. I will here add that they are not allowed to leave the camp with out a written permit, and then not allowed to enter any but a public room, nor partake of a meal with any one. With regard to things of additional interest here, first there is the monument, which stands on a rising ground near the river, bearing simply the name of Kosciusco, which was caused to be placed there by the Cadets in 1823, at a cost of $5,000. On a hillock northwest of this is a Mon ument erected to the memory of Col- E. D. Wood, a pupil of West Point, who fell while leading the charge at the Sortie of Fort Erie, Sept. 17th, 1814. On the opposite side of the parade ground, near the river is a fluted marble column, around which, winding spirally is a carved wreath of laurel, the upper end held in the beak of an eagle, that stands pipon the top with wings extended. This beauti ful monument was erected to the memory of Ma jor Dade and his brave command, numbering 108, of whom 105 fell in an engagement in Florida, not distant when he will be called Jipon to occupy a more extended held ot labor and ot usetulness to the pubilc. Hoping that you will have an agreeable, social gathering on the 2d prox., I have the Loner to be your obedient servant, JUIUN W. 1'JjLJS. Messrs. W. M. D'Antignac, and others of the Committee of Invitation. N.iole' n in his Uncle's Room at Brescia. A letter from Brescia says : Naioleon I., when here, honored the residence of the Fcnarolli family with his presence. He lept one night 111 the palace where his successor has iu4t been, after the lapse of half a century, under similar circumstances, pursuing with the same success the source of his victories. At the palace, the room where Napoleon I. slept has been religiously preserved, exactly as he left it. The bed, toilet, tabic, and the writing table in a closet ail joining, remain in the same state in "the same disorder. Napoleon III, joining in this feeling of respect, refused to occupy the apartment where his uncle had slept, and select ed a room adjoining. Messrs. Rives and Wintiirop on the Sla very Question. The Chairman of the Whig General Committee of the City of New York has published letters from Hon. Wm. C. Rives, of Virginia, and Robert C. Wintiirop, of Boston, in reply to a letter from him requesting their views upon aresolution under consideration in the com mittee, deprecating the further agitation of the sla very question. Both gentlemen arc of the opinion that there is no existing issue concerning slavery between the North and Sonth justifying a section al agitation, and that any other excitement on the subjectiin either section, to the exclusion of the great practical interests of the country, would be suicidaband absurd. Mr. Wintiirop savs : " No- s that there is any constitutional pow- gneral Groverment over the institution ery as it exists in the Southern ody. would know what to do with to-morrow were it' bestowed upon he States in which that institution sufficient weight of responsibility to it, without being vexed .and goaded eign intervention ; and the intervention e btatas on this subicct is foreicn inter vention las much as if it were that of Great Brit- Ovifk i JreSng.

Let us " all put ourselves on our good behavior " and not on our dress. The fact is, the clerks rnd proprietors of our hotels, the captains of steamboats and the conductors of rail roads, do see at the very first glance the real stat ue of a traveler ; the dullest chambermaids, the most stupid cabin boy, and the laziest waiter are neither dull, nor stupid, nor lazy, nor erring, either, in the estimate they form of people as if by ntuitioii. nail s Journal oj Health. The London correspondent of the riiiladephia Inquirer writes : " I have just made inquiry in relation to the rumored insanity of Sir Edward Bulwer Lyttou, the celebrated novelist. It is entirely unfonded. His mind is as strong as ever, althoufrh his bc.iltli defeat of the Derby Ministry was a boon to LimJ as it released him from the cares of othce. He looks care-worn, and requires rest. At present, lie is at his seat in Knabworth, in Hertfordshire." How to Avoid Mosul' itoes in Chambers. A shrewd friend has adopted the following simple plan, which he assures us has been found entirely effectual. At dusk ho opens every window, and carefully closes every door belonging to the chambers. The musquitoes, attracted hy the light outside, rush forth seeking whom they may devour. Then before going to bed, or bringing in alight, he closes tne winuos anu 01 course ex cludes all the outsiders. After the chamber lights are extingished, the windows may again be opened without danger. This is so easy to do that we fear nobody will try it.
