let us at once to work, raise the stock and have
the line constructed.
In order to test the matter, as far as Newbern
is concerned, we would suggest that books be at,

scriptions, with the understanding of course that
if the requisite amount be not subscribed at Kin

Speculations about tfae Nomination.
There seems to be nothing at Washington now
but wire pulling for the "Presidential nomination.
A correspondent of the Charleston Mercury thus
discourses on the Douglas programme:
"Tiie nlot thickens in many folds, and the truth
is difficult to attain. Tne city is now over-full with
politicians, with editor?, with delegates, and witu
nif n bearing no denominative" clarification except
Presidential makers. We never could suppose
that such a state of events were possible wliica pre
sent themselves from day to day. The pen become.
tame to describe the cunning schemes of men ; and,
now to indicate a line of action, to narrate what is a
settled policy, is a purpose that ranks among the
impossibilities, because it changes as the leaves in
the whirlwind shift fanciful antics rule the acts of
nit-n wlio nave been supposed to be staid heretofore,
sober, dignified and solid.
Men w.u)iii you know to be engaged in scheming,
by treeing them constantly occupied in button-holing;
others, in twos aud threes, at every comer and in
secluded uooks. declare in the most explicit terms,
thut they are ignorant of the whole undercurrent
of operations ; and tnose whom you would sweal
are in Douglas' interests, by their actions aud asso
ciations, as firmly deny the "soft impeachment."
Yet you meet them arm in arm witli Douglas or his
aids: you -oe them all through the halls of the Cap
itol iu earnest conversation together, and run upoii
tnem at the hotels with the same fl c;k, and all the
time employed alike. Why is it ? Mr. Doutilas has
nothing to do, or does nothing but run about the ed
ifice shaking hands with his friends or soi dzsant
clonics. You find him everywhere, except in his
seat in the Senate, widcli he seldom disturbs, unless
there is a I're.-ideiitial speech to be made.
The entire efforts of Squat terdom, as we have said
before, in to blast the prospects of those who are now
regarded in the South as true men. They would
aint by foul cont tct--ei!geuder feud through supi
t.lon inoculate disease and corruption by inferences,
and in every manner profess friendship while they
wvave the weli to entangle. It is difficult to "tell
how these things are to be accomplished out we
know they are not idle rumors. Douglas friends ex
peet to secure his nomination at Charleston. Tney
have not yet sm rendered the hope. You may have
your confidence in the South that he will be deleated.
May that confidence not be misplac ed ! But circum
stances in Washington lead us to write in this strain,
so that the people may know the facts in season, thi.t
ihey may ma not be deceived.
The Nkw Ms I5irsLB from Mount Sinai.
The new MS. Bible discovered by Prof. Tischen
ilorf in the library of the monastery on Mount Si
nai is to be printed in St. Petersburg with great
magnificence, under hisc ire ami at the,cost ot the
Imperial Government Prof. Tischendorf finds
strong reason.-, for fixing its date in the first half
of the fourth century; and he says, that as a
means of determining the text of the sacred wri
tings, especially those of the Ai ostles, it. is far
mo7e important than even the MS. of the Vatican.
The age of the new MS has already been the
subject of lively controversy, a concerted attack
havino- been made upon Prof. Tischeudorfs de
ductions by a number of St. Petersburg Acaie
...W.iMt.s His renlies were, however. satifactory
that his opponents have become converts to his
belief. , ., , , . ,
This MS is the oldest MS. of the Biblo which
has be- n preserved iu the Christian world. It is
far older than any other except the Vatican MS ,
to which it is superior in age and in complete
ness; for the MS. of the Vatican lacks five books
entirely and one in part. Its authority is also
confirmed by the quotations of the early Fathers,
which agree" with it more nearly than any other
MS.
Prof. Tischendorf has already filled ten folio
volumes with Bible documents, and may be pre
sumed to know as much about the correct version
of the Bible a anybody. His seventh edition' of
the New Testament is the standard. He will il
lustrate this edition profusely with philosophic i
lac-similes: and while mis sure that the original
f wi?J .-is soon as it becomes known, bo esteem
ed throughout Christendom as a great national
mmm-om-.- for Russia, he hones to make the idic'w
princrps of it a worthy monument of imperial
munificence, and one which the whole Christian
world shall receive with eratetul thanks.
Political Literature.
The following which we find iu the Register is
a fair specimen we presume of the political tUtra
Lure with which the State is to be flooded and the
people gorged by political writers and the politi
cal press during the coming summer. The first
piece is brought forth by the Charlotte Democrat
and the second by a correspondent of the Register.
To become a candidate for Governor at the pres
ent day in North Carolina is to set one's self up
to be blackguarded from one end of the State to
the other. Men have a right to difier as to prin
ciples and policy, but every gentleman has a right
to expect and demand courteous treatment at the
bauds of political opponents:
From Ihe Charlotte Democrat.
THAT NOMINATION.
Immediately on hearing of Mr. Pool's nomination
by the Opposition Convention at ltaleigh, we con
cluded that nothing but the genius of the Poetcou.d
do justice to the subject, and we therefore invoked
the muse for the following:
Grent was the day and great the hour
When Kaleijrh saw the patriots meet,
To plan for office, place ami power.
And gouge the public crib " a teet "
Thev met a shadowy, ghostly band
Uprisen from their troubled sleep,
To cai-t about on every hand,
For one to lead them to defeat.
Fully many a heart then leaped for joy,
And many a frog in Pasquotank,
Croaked for its Pvol, a native boy,
Tiiat chased them oft from bank to bank I
But still eoine sighed, that once so proud.
Great Sammy's banneroai high.;
Now hushed tneir peans once so louu,
And Sain himself knocked into pi !
Gieat Whiggery sworn a hideous ruin
Its sweetness wasted on the air
Was covered over with saw-dust soon:
And Samuel built his castle there.
But now they meet how wondrous kind!
Tney lock their shields and swear their love;
Old Sam wiih Old-line Whig we find,
All cheek-by-jole and hand-in-glove !
A. !Yer Church.
An Episcopal Church has just been consscra-
ted at Wilmington. The following is from the
Herald:
St John's Church. Divine services was held
in the above named-place of worship for the first
time on yesterday morning, ut. liev. It. U Lirane
officiating. The Church wa. well filled with at
tentive listeners to a most admirable sermon
text from Leviticus 19th ch. 30th v., 44 Ye shall
keep my sabbaths and reverence my sanctuary.
The buildinff itself in the Gothic style of
architecture is indeed a beautiful structure.
It is built of the best material, with a slate root ;
a unique bell tower stands on the north-west corn
er. The interior is very chaste and beautiful.
Ten octaconial columns are ranged lengthwise of
the Church, sunoortine the arches of the root
The ceiling, pews, and in fact all the wood W rk
is ot North Carolina pine, nigmy varmsneu. me
bright color of which blends finely with the stone
colored pillars, and arches. An elegant nrched
window of stained class fionts the west, and one
of lesser dimensions looks towards the east. The
one receiving the first faint rays of the rising sun,
the other sending forth thousands of bright rare
colors at evening time when the sun sinks to rest.
Sweet music from the new choir lent its calm in
flueuce to the inteiesting occasion.
The Church has been building for some time,
and we are glad it is finished. We like to see
these temples going up; it speaks well for our
town, well for our country, our great Republic,
the freedom of whose institutions, and whose
civil and religious liberties, make it a home in
deed for the weary children of men. Here, one
can worship God according to the dictates of coil
science, without fear of tortue or the stake. May
they continue to go up these beautitul sanctu
aries, w ith theii heaven-topped spires, adorning
the earth and training the spirit for that highest
of all temp.'es, the one not made with hands,
eternal in the heavens.
Committkd to Jail. A very bad lo-.king fpeoi
men of humanity, calling himself Horace Walcot,
l. i.. h,-(n mowliiiL' about, tow for the last three
or four dtys, professing the power of conjurisin,
divination, or the possession of a supernatural art of
finding things that are lost, was taken up by the
oheriff yesterday, and takeu before our Mayor under
the vagrant act, and upon examination, iu default of
surety, was committed to jail to await the act'on of
His Honor and the jury
He says he was born and raided in Pennsylvania,
but has been living iu Texas aud Arkansas for the
last 8 years, until some 4 months ago, when he cauw
to this State.
A man by the name of Jeremiah Feeling, formerly
connected with some vessel .it Beaufort in the capaci
ty of a m ite, w is in the M lyor's office during the
investigation of the case, with his head dreadfully
mangled and bruised, very bloody and presenting a
very'disgujting appearance, who allcdges that the
prisoner decoyed him off about four miles from town
the night previous, under thepreteuce that he would
show him some lost goods, instead of which he fell
onhim with adeadly weapon. infiietingsevere wounds
and leaving him, he supposes, alter rifling his pock
ets, for dead.
The general impression is that he is not only guilty
of this outrageous deed, but that he possesses the
power of finding people's hen roosts, and of entering
their stores and dwellings, in the night time, und it
was suggested by some adventurous young men that
if the Mayor would release him about nine o'clock,
(last night.) that they would see him out of town u ell
dressed. .
Raleigh Items. The Parkers are still playing
at Raleigh to crowded houses. The papers are
all contradicting a report that Miss Josephine, the
star of the. troupe, was married. The editor of
the Standard says she is not married and that he
speaks "by authority " We suppose that she is
not mariied but at the same time think that it is
not the fault of some of her admirers in this quar
ter that she lemains single.
A negro girl belonging to Maj. Vass died sud
denly on Sunday night. She awoke in the night
and asked some one if it were not raining. They
told her no, but she went out into the yard to see
and remaining for some time, the negroes went
to look for her and found her lying dead in the
yard. 4
An affray occurred in the city on Monday night
in which a man by the name of George High was
stabbed by one named Wm. Champion. His
wounds are thought to be dangerous.
Champion has been placed in jail.
Two men lately made a balloon ascension from
.vonr.iih. G-.i.. and after reaching an altitude, of
mile attempted to descend- They came down j
on Calaboga Sound, and the balloon struck with
such violence that their ballast ami provisions
were lost and they themselves, submerged iu the.
water. Upon rising to the surface they found
themselves five or six miles from the shore, while
a hc;ivv "ale was prevailing in the Sound. -The
meat p'oiut now was to prevent the balloon from
rising out of tho water, and this they accom
plished by keeping one edge of the car under
whter, which they found afforded sufficient resis
tance to answer the purpose of ballast They
drifted rapidly towards the land, and, discovering
persons on Mie shore, cried for help, when a boat
was instantly manned by some negroes and dis
patched to their aid. Before, however, the boat
roiwdiPfl 1 hem. one of the ballonists. trying to dis-
It . rvk tli crt illlil save the balloon, took hold of
.i.. r.....i o,7,1 rlw confusion, nulled so hard as
to break it short off below the valve, whereupon
the latter closed, and the balloon became wholly
unmanageable. His companion, becoming en
tancrlrfd Tu the cords, was compelled to cut his
way out with h's pocket-knife, and the balloon
ascending rapidly, the one in the car could only
save himself by leaping out when at a distance of
or tiiirtv feet from the ground. He
fell into the water and mud, and was uninjured.
The speed with which this journey was made is
wounderful. The point where the balloon struck
;s forty miles from Savanah. and tbey were just
thirteen minutes in traversing it.
They lay aside all feuds, and plan
How each can bet the ot iter foul;
And seek to wash past sins au ay

And lead tnis spec t re' d motly host.

And now the heavy work begins

TiUis washed, thin allied force will stand ;

ed with a ride on the New York Central railroad.
He relates it in a letter to the Knickerbocker
Magazine, and puts it on record to serve as a
caution to future innocent travelers. He says :
" I had observed at each change of the cars.
and they were frequent, when the general scram

sions, deaf to menaces, unsofted by bribes, who,
maintained his post for the " ladies."
" Ladies car, sir, av you pleas, forred car for
gentlemen without ladies."

I stepped up to her side, and with my native grace

success, I urged my charge upon the platform of

Pittman, of the ship James Guthrie. ha9 publish
ed the following interesting extract, giving the
particulars of an immense water-spout which he
saw on his outward passage. His journal says:
"September I, 1859. lat. 40 31, long. G9 31 W..
at 2 P. M.. took strong breeze from the southeast,
which put us under double-reefed topsails, with
the mecurical column at 30 1 : at G P M. it ran
down to t.5; the wind increasing close reefed,
aud furled all light sails and courses. Observed
in thp southwest a dark cumbrous looking cloud,
which approached the ship with amasiug rapidi
ty, while the wind continued to increase, wearing
to the opposite quarter When the cloud was
within about three miles of the ithip the wind sud
denly fell to a dead calm, and the
presented a terrific appearance
assumed the form of an inverted cone, and grad
ually descended towards the sea, which also form
ed itself iuto a lofty peak, until the two points
1 met, completing a water-spout of gigantic dimen
sions. Around the mountain of water a whirlwind
immediately commenced, tearing aud scattering
the sea in every direction, detaching and carry
ing in its course large masses of clouds. The ap
pearance wa like a vast horizontal wheel, turn
ing around this mountain of water, with the spout
for its centre, with an amazing velocity; and, as
the sky near the horizon was perfectly clear, the
revolutions of this wonderful wind and water
wheel were distinctly visible, making its revolu.
tions complete in twenty six seconds, and with a
regularity and precision that were truly astonish
ing. This continued for about twenty minutes,
during which time the connexion of the clouds
with the sea was several times broken oft, without
reducing the altitude of the sea mountain, but im
mediately became reunited, until Dually it termi
nated with a splash, agitating the hip aud pass
ing over her, ending in torrents of rain. Very
soon the sky became beautifully clear, the wind
set in fresh from the southwest, an J all nature
seemed rejoiced at the destruction of so formida
