We left Raleigh yesterday morning and have intelligence from there up to 24 o'clock p. m. yesterday- Up to that hour no nomination had been made and the convention stood adjourned to 3i o'clock. The attendance is large and the proceedings -were characterized, the first day, by considerable enthusiasm. Many of the most distinguished gentlemen of the party were present. At a cau cus Wednesday night, which lasted till 1 a. m., it was resolved to incorporate ad valorem in the platform, and it was generally understood that Mr. John Tool would be the nominee for Gov ernor. The delegates from the East, generally, were against ad valorem, and those from the West for it. Much feeling was exhibited relative to the matter and we could scarcely see how the conflicting sentiments could be harmonized. We "earned that the Convention would rncst probably express a choice for Hon. W. A. Graham for Pres ident of the United States. We shall no doubt bo able to give the name of the nominee to-morrow. Pocket Book Lost. Mr. A. R. Lawrence, delegate from Iredell county to the Whig Conven tion at Raleigh, lost his pocket wallet on the N. 3. Railroad on Tuesday night between Salisbury and Raleigh, containing one $100 note, several 10's and $20's and some valuable papers. He had it out when paying his fare just east of Salis bury and missed it on his arrival at lialeigh. The papers are of much more importance to Mr. Law rence than the money and any information con cerning either will be thankfully received. Ad dress A. R. Lawrence, Esq., Statesville, N. C. COMMON SENSE, The London Times, (in an article much in the vein of one in the Express, the other day,) on Lord Brougham's recent anti-American cotton and anti-American slavery speech in Parliament, in a few words, takes the backbone all out of his ar gument, and leaves him nothing but his sophis tries to stand on, thus : Lord Brougham and tiie veterans of the old Anti Slaverv Society (-ays the editor! io nt share our de light at this great increase in the employment of our home popu'nt ion. Their miiid- are still seared by 4 hose Inn TiMe.-tories which were burnt in upon them in their youth, when England was not only a slave owning hut a slave-trading Slate. Their remorse is -o trreat that the ghost of a b'uek man is always be fore them. They are benevolent ami excellent peo ple; but if a Mack man happen to have broken his siiin, and a white man were in danger of drowning, wo much fear that an Anti-Slavery zealot would bind up ahla k man's leg before lie would draw u white man out of the water. It is not an inconsistency, therefore, that while we ee only cause of congratu lation in this wonderful increase of trade, Lord Brougham s 'es in it the exaggeration of an evil he never ceases to deplore. We, and such us we, who fire content to look upon society a.s Providence allows it to exist to mend it when we can, but not to dis tress ourselves immoderately fo. evils which are not of our creation we see only the free and intelligent English families who thrive upon the wages these cotton bales produce. Lord Brougham sees only the black laborers who on the other side of the Atlantic, pick the cotton pods in slavery. .Lord Brougham leplores that in this tremendous importation of u thousand million of pounds of cotton, the lion's adiareof the profits goes to the United States, and has been produced by slave labor. Instead of twenty three millions the United States now send us eight hundred ami thirty millions, and this is all cultivated by slaves. It is very sad that this should be so, but we do not se our way to a remedy. There seems to be rather a chance of its becoming worse. If France, who is already moving onwards in a restless purblind state, .should opeu her eyes wide, should give herself lair piny by accejiting our coal:, iron, ami mnenmerv, aim, under the stimulus ot a Wholesome competition, should take to manufac turing upon a large scale, then these three millions will not be enough. Fiance will be competing wit! us in the foreign cotton markets, stimulating still further the produce of Georgia and South Carolina The jump which the consumption of cotton in Eng land has just made is but a single leap, which may be repeated indefinitely. There are a thousand mil lions of mankind upon the globe, all of whom can be most ccmiortaoiy ciau in cotron. n,very year new tiibes and new nations are added to the category of cotton wearers. There is everv reason to believe that the supply of this universal necessity will for many years yet to come fail to keep pace with the demand, and, in the interest ot that large class of our countrymen to whom cotton is bread we must con tinue to hope that the United States will be able to supply us hi years to come with tmcc as much as we oougni oi ineiii in years past, "let us raise up another market' says the Anti-Slavery people. So say we all. But even Lord Brougham would not ask us to believe that there is any proximate hope that the, free cotton raised in Africa will, within any reasonable time, drive outof culture the slave grown cotton of America. If this be so, of what use can it be to make irritating speeches in the House of Lords against a state of things by which we are content to profit ? Lord Brougham and Lord Grey are not men of such illogical minds as to be incapable of under standing that it is the demand of the English manu facturers which stimulates the produce Of slave-grown American cotton. They are neither of them, we ap prehend, so reckless or so wicked as to wish to close our lactones and throw some two millions of our man ufacturing population out of bread. Why, then, these inconsequent and these irritating denunciations ' Let us create new fields of produce if we can ; but, mean while, it is neither just nor dignified to buy the raw material from the Americans, and to revile them for producing it. Hard facts, these, and put with a force that must be felt to some advantage, we trust, in Exeter Hall. jY. Y. Express. New Hampshire. The Republican papers in dicate their doubts of the success of their party in New Hampshire at the next spring election, from urgent appeals they are now making to voters. A correspondent of the Boston Traveler "writes : "Probably no State in the Union is so well can vassed and understood in the fight as our own ; but there is one great failing after all we gain but few Proselytes.' This information is very encouraging to the Democracy. The Republican majority for Gov ernor last year, was but 3,497. If the Republicans gain few proselytes, and the Democrats bring out their reserve force, the success of the latter is cer tain. The Boston Traveler says : " The election will doubtless be warmly con tested by the Republicans to maintain their su premacy, and by the Democrats in order to stand well before the National Convention at Charles ton." , A United States Senator is to be elected by the Legislature about to be chosen. The State election takes place early in March. States. Correspondence of the Raleigh Press. AN ATTEMPT TO ELOPE WITH A SLAVE. We learn that last week, a young lady of extra ordinary beauty and superior attainments the daughter of wealthy and respectable parents, of Sampson county, attempted to elope with a negro fellow, the property of her cousin. To a friend we are indebted for the following particulars : Their elopement had been planned for several weeks, but a favorable opportunity not present ing, it was postponed from time to time ; an op portunity offering favorable to her nefarious de signs, she told the negro to be in readiness at the designated place and time. When the hour ar rived, she crept silently from her father's house, and soon joined the negro, who was waiting with a horse and buggy which he had stolen from a neighbor carrying the buggy on his shoulder tico hundred yards to the main road ; the two then left and proceeded toward the railroad. Being short of funds, made it necessary for the lady to call upon one of her father's friends, telling him that he (her father) wished him to loan her an hundred dollars, at the same time handing him a note, which upon examination proved to be worth less, as it had no signature affixed. The gentle man informed her that he would have willingly loaned her the required sum, if her father's signat ture had been to the note, but as that importan part was neglected, he could not do it. She then went with the negro to Faison's Depot, (on the W. & W. R. R., where she expected to take the cars,) and offered the horse and buggy for sale at terms so low, that at once aroused suspicions that all w as not as it should be. Several questions were put to her, all of which she answered with so much plausibility, that a bystander volunteer ed to lend her money, but before doing so. desired to see the bill of sale for the negro, which she af firmed she had. She pioduced it, but like the irote. it was not signed, and also contained several other errors. The citizens then determined to arrest them, and acted accordingly, whereupon the young lady made a clean breast of the whole affair publicly expressing that her determination was to marry the black rascal when she got to the North. The negro was immediately taken and lodged in Clinton jail, but has since been carried off and disposed of. The young lady remained at Faison's a few days, and then returned to her friends. As she is young and beautiful, of supe rior accomplishments, and has numerous relatives and friends, and heretofore moved in the most re spectable society, it is to be regretted that she acted so improperly and unbecoming a lady. Of course, when the 'irrepressible conflict"' journalists hear of it. they will extol hcrmany vir tues to the skies, and make a great-to-do general ly. JNO. QUILLE. Goldsboro', Feb. 18th, 18C0. A PATRIOTIC WORK. From a statement of the celebration of the pre sent week, in the New ork Express, it appears that the following commemorations and meetings will be held : The new statue of Washington is to be inaugu rated at the National Capitol, under the auspices of the two Houses of Congress. National Union State Conventions and meetings will be held as follows : In New Jersey, at Trenton; in Virginia, at Rich mond ; in North Carolina, at Raleigh ; in Tennes see, at Nashville; in N Y, New York city, on the evening of the 21st.

Supposed Total Loss of Passengers and Crete Halifax, N. S., Feb 22 The splendid steam ship Hungarian, which sailed from Liverpool to Portland, ou Weduesday, February 8th, is a total wreck. The passengers and crew are all supposed to have perished. A small portion of the hull only is visible at low water. There is nothing like news to be had for the Associated Press, unless it can be obtained from the mail, a small portion of which has been saved m a damaged condition. Oue passenger ticket has been found, with the name of Ellen L. Kecham upon it. A despatch to the Cunard Steamship Company from Cape Sable, says the Hungarion's light was seen Monday morning about 3 o'clock, on Cape Ledge, at day-break the spars and smoke-stack were standing, but by 10 A M all had gone by the board, and then the ship settled fast. A heavy sea was breaking mast high over the ship at the time she went down, and communication with her was impossible. All hands must have been lost, unless the boats left her before day-break, which is very improba ble. - Supreme Court. The following opinions were delivered on yesterday, Monday. By Person, C. J.

The Congressional Contested Election.- Yesterday afternoon Judge Giles was engaged in hearim? the testimonv in the contest of Win G Harrison against Henry Winter Davis for the representative of the fourth Congressional Dis trict in Cengress. The witnesses were froni the tenth ward, and their testimony was but a reiter ation of the scenes of outrage enacted at the polls of that ward ou the 2d of November last, as pub lishel in relation to the contest for the Legisla ture of Maryland and other officers voted for at the time. Guite a number ot persons were pre sent. Baltimore Sun, 21. r ' ' " " The Cincinnatti Enquirer says that a gentle man asked the President, a few days ago, wheth er he still adhered to his declaration made to him some time since, that he desired to see Joe Lane ot Oregon his successor. Mr. Buchanan replied that it was his wish to see a man neminated at Charleston who, if elected, would act a friendly part by those men who were appointed under him. Upon being further pressed, he expressed his intention to use all his influence in favor of Breckenridge. This is official and settles the ques tion as to Mr. Buchanan's choice.

The Virginia Whig State Convention assem bled at Richmond on the 22nd. The attendance is represented as large and the proceedings en thusiastic. Abolitionist Caught. A negro man was brought to jail in this place one day last week who was traveling towards a free" State under a forged pass. He said be belonged to a Mr Ram sey, of Rome, Ga., and that one Dr. Clark, of Walker county, had given him a pass to aid him in getting to a free State. Now this Clarke is a rascally old mongrel of white man and negro, who has long been attempting to palm himself oft upon the co.nmunity as an Indian Doctor, and has frequently been indicted in Walker county on charges of hog-stealing, trading with negroes, &c. On Tuesday last, this old Black rascal came to Ringgold, when he was immediately arrested upon a warrent from Judge Lynch. He was taken to the jail door and brought face to face with his colored accuser, who faced hini in all he had said before. Whereupon the portly and dig nified Doctor manifested a series of threatening gyrations and vituperative expressions that were truly amusing to the spectator. After allowing him to relieve himself by giving full vent to his feelings, he was escorted to the thicket by order of Judge Lynch, where he acknowledged his alle giance to the " stars and stripes,' the latter of which he very sensibly felt. After he had been honored with a hundred or so, he was released, and went on his way rejoic ing as well he might that tho penalty for his offence was a hickory withe instead of a rope. Ringgold (C.) Express. Simtle-Uearted Honesty of a Clergyman. Rev. Mr. Derwell. a pious old Methodist minister, went from Tennessee to Kentucky in 1821, to visit his relative, the Hon. Wm. Bolton. The man was not a religious man, but Was a gentleman, and in vited the minister to have family worship every evening. While he was visiting there, Judge Cone and his wife, from Nashville, arrived there to pass the night, and Mr. Bolton, being a little embarrassed, said to the minister as he brought j out the Bible, that he had better be shorts as the I Judge was probably not accustomed to such things. "Very well, verv well," said he, and reading a single verse he knelt down and prayed : " Oh, Lord, we are very poor and needy creatures, and we know thou art able to supply ail our wants, but cousin William says that Judge Cone and his wife, from Nashville, are here and are not used to family worship, and however needy we are we have no time in telling" our wants, Amen."' The Judge was taken all aback, and so was cousin William. They both pressed the old gentleman to conduct the services in his own way, which he did to their gratification. Nashville Gazette. Shocking Tragedy in Texas. Tho Crocket ("Texas) Printer says that a most shocking trage dy took place at or near Hall's Bluff, on the Trinity river. Mr. Robert E. Ilerndon, an intelli gent, stinng young business man, kept a store at Hall's Bluff. Some difficulty occured between him and Dr. A. M. Steel, who it is said was in toxicated, and threatened to shoot Ilerndon, who, thinking the gun had no caps, made no effort to get out of the way. But Steel had replaced the caps, the gun exploded, and Ilerndon tell a corpse. A clerk seeing his employer thus cooly shot down, seized another gun and instantly shot Steel dead upon the spot. The clerk's name is not cer tain, or if it was the clerk. Some say Mr. Dick- son, others Mr. iMxon, ana oiners vnai it was a friend of Mr. Ilerndon. We onlknowthat Hern- don and Steel are dead. Death of a Trotting House. The celebra ted trotting horse, "Whalebone," owned by John Gutler, of Albany, N. Y , fell dead last Wednes day evening, while being driven down the Troy road. Mr. Cutler had quite recently refused $3,- 500 for him. ijajulh, .on. masmucii as many friends r till- :..;. .r. V. T rV... e T t desired that he sould be appointed to fill the va cant J udgeship caused by the resignation of Judge Caldwell ; we will state that before the Governor and Council filled the vacancy, Mr Lander was j consulted as to whether he would accept the ap pointment it tendered, and he positively declined it. The qualifications of Mr. Lander as a jurist, and his character as a high-toned honorable gen tleman, would have made his appointment entire ly acceptable to the people of the Western part of the State ; but as fie declined, the position was conferred upon a gentleman every way qualified, and whose promotion gives general satisfaction. Charlotte Democrat. Mr. McRae's Address. The add ress of D. K. McRae, Esq., for the benefit of the Mount Vernon Association, was delivered last evening in the Fayetteville Hall, to a crqwded house. We confess that we have never listened to a more brilliant, instructive and intelligent address. It was composed of the choicest of scholastic learn ing, the brightest conceptions of his superior mind, which with the fascinating charm of his free, nat ural and expressive manner of delivery, made his words seem more like acts his theories like liv ing realties. Air. McRae is an orator of no com mon mould ; he has naturally within him all the requisites to entitle him to that distinction, which added to the polish of a splendid intellectual train ing, places him among the great men of his native State. Pay. Caiolinian. Gov. Chase tells the story that when Lieut. Governor Newman, of Tennessee, was in Cincin nati w ith the Kentucky and Tennessee Legisla ture, he was accompanied by his "body servant," a sprightly, saddled colored " boy " ot about 30, who was conscious of his dignity. His master, who was in the habit of jesting with him familiar ly, accosted him in the hall ot the Neil House just before the departure of the guests, with a 44 Why, Jack, havn't any of the Abolitionists car ried you off yet ?" 44 Yah yah .' Mass' Newman," quoth Jack, 44 when I seed you gwine down the street, arm in arm with Gubner Dennison and Gubner Chase, I tot you were gone sure." A Drunken Man Boiled to Death. A man named John Struble met with a horrible death in Westmoreland county, Pa., the other day. He was engaged in some capacity or other at the salt works, and while intoxicated, fell into a vat of boiling salt water. He was extricated with all possible despatch and when taken out, presented a horrible spectacle. The flesh fell from his bones in large flakes, while he was so horribly disfigured that he bore but little resemblonce to a human being. He lived a short time suffering the most excruciating agony, and then expired another victim to the demon intemperance. "The American Eagle in Danger.' Under this head the New Y'ork Tribune describes a bo gus 5! 10 gold piece, a most dangerous counter feit, which had been detected at the United States Sub-Treasury, having been paid out by the Me tropolitan Bank, of that city. The coin stood all the tests of weight, sound circumference and thickness. On being cut into it was found that a genuine coin had been split tdgewise, both halves being quite thin, then filled with some whitish metal, and remilled. The Western Railroad Survey.-A friend writing us from Waynesville, Haywood, says: 44 The Railroad survey from Asheville West in the direction of Chattanooga, ordered by the last Leg islature, is progressing rapidly, having passed this piace into the Tuckaseege valley, in Jack son county. The engineer in charge informs me that he has met with no serious obstructions, and so far as the cost of construction is concerned this Road will compare favorably with the cost of other Roads in this State." Standard. The American Dentist in Paris. Dr. Ev ans, the American dentist in Paris, lately made a flying professional visit to Nice, at the instance of the forme Empress of Russia. On parting she presented him with a diamond ring, valued at 60,000 fanes about $12,0U0. The Doctor and Mrs. Evans have received presents from crowned heads, in the shape of bracelets, watches, snuff boxes, rings, and curious articles, in gold and precious stones, to make him a millionaire, if he had their cost in money. Democratic Convention. The Democratic convention of the seventh district, held at Ha verhill, Mass , on Thursday, elected Frederick O. Prince, of Winchester, and George Johnson, of Bradford, as delegates to the Charleston Conven tion ; B F Watson, of Lawrence, George W Dyke, of Stoneham, substitutes. The convention was of rather an exciting nature, occasioned by double delegations, but ended harmoniously. The delegates are Douglas men, so says the telegraph ic dispatch. Accident. We regret to hear that Mr. Sam uel Belk, of Union county, N C. was killed on the 3d, inst., under lhe following peculiar circum stances. He was engaged in cutting down a large tree for making boards, and when the tree fell, the log which he had arranged as a support for the tree after it was down, gave way; the end flew up and struck him upon the head, killing him instantly. Lan. Ledger. Sentenced. Richard Jones, recently convic ted ot killing his wife, at Pittsburg Pa., was, on Saturday last, sentenced to six years' imprison ment iu the penitentiary. The city of Rome, (Ga.,) was lighted with gas for the first time, on Tuesday, February 14th. The Courier says the light is brilliant and satis factory. ' Mortality.
