FEIDAY MORNING APRIL 13, 1860. Home missions. We know that stiring appeals are made from some of our pulpits nearly every Sabbath for means to help the heathen the far off heathen we mean, but it i seldom that we hear anything said concerning the suffering poor of our own town, unless it be an inflammatory appeal against drunk enness, now and then. This is very well, and if the pulpit can save frail humanity from the evils of intemperance by devoting a portion of its en ergies to that subject it should roost certainly do it, but it has much to do in other matters aye, there are other things which demand the serious attention of every good man and woman whether professing christians or not. We have said that our people do much tor foreign missions, and for it we give them all due credit, but should they not do a little more tor the weak and helpless at their own doors ? We think 80. There is abundant material for all our be nevolence, for only yesterday a couple of poor women, (industrious and respectable we have every reason to belive.) called on us and com plained that they wanted work but could get none to do. They both have children to support and are dependent on their labor, and even the privilege of working for a pittance to keep soul and body together is denied them. They repre .sented that they had walked the town looking for work until they were sick and tired, and assured us that there were at least a hundred in the same condition. They say that the time was when they could get sewing to do in Newbern but that the introduction of sewing machines and slop-shop work from the North now- deprive them of it. They left their names with us with the prayer that we would send them work if we could; if therefore any one is disposed to help these two ladies by giving them something to do, and will make it known at this office, we will apprise them of it. Now there is only one light in which to view this matter: our own poor must be taken care of, and if wc continue to have our shirts and other clothing made in New York and thereby deny them that protection to which they are entitled, we must expect to be taxed in other ways for their support. The weak and helpless must not starve or want in a country that produces the ne cessaries of life so abundantly as ours. Had the early settlers of this country never learned to pro duce and manufacture but continued to import trom Europe articles of common consumption they would never have become free and indepen dent, and we their descendants would have been yet but subjects ot the mother country; and so j OCratic party will begin to decline from tha mo loo will our dependence on the North continue i nient it begins if ever it should unfortunately until we learn to produce and manufacture what begin to establish tests on State affairs. It is wo consume. ence the necessity of our toster- J ing, protecting and encouraging ail among us who desire to labor for an honest living. Let our people look to And ponder these things. That C'ntnntroplir! It is known that the candidates for Governor met in discussion at Gatesville on the I5rd iustant. The Murfreesboro' Citizen heads an Extra giving .in account of the passage at arms thus : "The Campaign Opened ! ! Discussion at Gates villo ! ! The Brill in Motion ! ! Ad Valorem Doo:n eK Jno Pool Demolished ! ! Know Nothingism Repudiated by the People ! ! The East Protest against the Demolition of the Constitution ! ! ! No Abolition of the Mixed Basis!! The people will preserve the Organic Law of the State from Dan gerous iLnovatiou! !" Per Contra, the Albemarle Southron of Thurs day, heads its account thus : "The Canvass Opened ! Discussion at Gatesville! Gov Eilisa Used Up Man! The Opposition in High Spirits! Pool Coveied with Glory ! Demo crats Down in the Mouth !"' Now to politicians this is all very plain and ea sy of comprehension they know it is a privilege of the profession to stretcth and exaggerate as much as they please, but how will these conflict ing accounts be received by the honest masses who are wont to believe that all they see in print expresses the truth ? And this is only the begin ning of the end we shall expect to see it asserted before the canvass closes that both candidates have been skinned alive. Great is politics, but greater is . the political press. Whig meeting in Ienoir. The Whigs of Lenoir held a meeting at Kins ton on the 7th instant We condense the proceed ings from the American Advocate : A meeting of the Whigs of Lenoir County assem bled at the Court House in Kinston on Saturday, the 7th of April, A. D. 18G0. Dr Jacob A Hartsfield was called to the chair and Mr Joseph J. Parker was requested to act as Secre tary. The chairman explained the object of the meeting to be the appointment of delegates to the District Convention to be held at Newbern on the 25th inet., for the purpose of electing delegates to the National Convention which assembles in Baltimore on the 9th day of May next, and also to appoint an elector for the-Snd Congressional District. . Moved and carried, that sixty delegates be ap pointed by the Chairman to attend the District Con vention. Moved and carried, that any Whig, or opponent of the Democratic and Republican parties, from this county who may be at Newbern during the Con vention be hereby empowered and requested to act as a delegate. Moved and carried, that the Chairman and Sec retary be added to the list of delegates. Messrs J M Patrick, of Lenoir Institute, H R Strong, John F Wooten, D Hilton and W Dunn, Jr Were severally called upon, vho responded in appro- f)riate remarks upon national and State politics the atter mainly so far as related to the question of equal taxation. Moved and carrid, that we heartily endorse the declaration of principles by the late Whig Conven t1 in Raleigh, and that we will cordially fsupport J OHN POOL, Esq, the representative of those prin ciples, for the oflice of Governor of North Carolina. . Moved and carried, that the thanks of this meet ing be tendered to the Chairman and Secretary for the discharge of their duties. i Elected Professor. The Petersburg Ex press learns that Dr. Edward Warren, of Eden tpn.N. C, editor of the North Carolina Medical Journal, has been elected to fill the vacancy in the Factdtj of the University of Maryland, occa sioned by the death of Dr. Frick. Mr. Warren is said to be a youbff man of fine talents and high standing in his profession, and will no doubt re flect credit upon the chair that he is called upon to 11. - Home Again. Having returned from the seat of justice of Green county, I hasten to report the weather exceedingly dry, warm and dusty, lest it might be overloked in the press of business. .The spring term of Green Superior Court was in session this week. Judge Howard presiding. The people of Green, like those of Jones county, have long since learned that it is wrong for '-brother to go to law with brother," and acting accordingly, the most of them stayed at home planting cotton and corn, the result of which was the Court only held two days. During my travels I noted dewn several important facts, or rather items of news, the most melancholy of which is the death on last Saturday or Sunday f Mr. Jno. Rouse, an aged gentleman in the upper part of Craven county, with whom the travelling public were pretty well acquainted under the old mail coach system, as his house was one of the stations on the lino from Newbern to Goldsboro He was bmie.1 on Monday. The most interesting item chronicled in my scrap book is the fact that by the assistance of a couple of Green's most gallant sons I was enabled to increase the list of subset ibers to the Week.y Progress by adding 23 or 24 new names, for which the receipt of the rhino is hereby acknowledged. Among other things of less importance, collected by the way, is the growing tendency of the young gentry of our sister town, Kinston, to indulge occa sionally in the very healthy exercise of boxing. A gentleman of that town informed me that there had been no less than twenty fights in that place in the last month or two. The fire has been raging in the upper part of this county, in Dover Swamp and vicinity, for the last two weeks, doing great damage to fences, turpentine boxes, houses, &c. Yesterday I passed through that country ; it was raging at a furious rate, aad the neighbors were all out fighting almost to suffocation to keep it from their domicils. I understood that Mr. Charles White's entire crop of turpentine was destroyed, together with all his fencing and a por tion of his buildings. The most foolish thing I noticed was a couple of negroes with a pine log upon some forks, one on top and the other under it with a whip saw splitting it into boards, out of which to build a church. Now 1 don't think it's foolish to build churches and then to attend them pnnctually after they are built, but I do think it foolish to resort to that old antiquated method of making tuilding lumber in this age of steam and electricity, particularly in Green county, where there are so many inducements for building steam saw-mills and where everybody is rich and got no poor kin. Ad Vnlorcm. We think that those partizsns who desire to make ad valorem ntcst for Legislative honors will be rather mistaken. See what the Standard says : Wake County. We would again respectfully re mind our Wake County Democratic friends of the importance of holding meetings in all the Districts, and of having a. full Convention at May Court to nominate candidates for the Legislature. We would also earnestly remonstrate against any dis position which may exist to establish a test on State affairs. Let us nominate Democrats, and not ad valorem or a nti-ad valorem men. The Dem- .i i - e .i i , i i ; i . the changing issues of the day, and taking its name from the circumstances of the passing hour. In essentials let there be unity, in non essentials toleration, and in all things charity. The Nkwspaper Mania in Georgia. The Sa vannah Republican of Thursday, says: " The little village of Waynesboro' in Burke eoun ty, where nobody thought of establishing a printing press until about a year ago, can now boast of two newspapers, and a prospectus for a third, to appear early in the coming month. More than this, they are all Democratic. The Democracy of Burke must have a strong backbone to afford a decent living to three "organs at the capital !" The News, the oldest of the trio, thinks there is room for stiil another, and suggests that the opposition get up an organ in the same locality. We would sugest that the Opposition wait awhile and take the chances of buying out the three." This reminds us of the fact that newspapers are springing up as thick as hops all over this good old State of North Carolina just at this time, and they will continue to spring up for several months to come. Every village must have one "organ"' court house towns tico or three, and some have been established where there were neither towns nor villages. Well, we don't ob ject they'll all doubtless do some good, and not much harm. Hut those who may want to enter the business permanently will have a plenty of chances to buy out exploded concerns after No vember. It is an easy matter to start a newspa per any one can do that but to keep one going is another thing. Congressional. The bill for the admission of Kansas was passed in the House on Wednesday by a vote of 134 yeas and 73 nays. Only three members from the non-slaveholding States voted against it, and three from the slave States voted for it. During the debate Mr. Pryor showed that Mr. Potter had interpolated offensive remarks of a personal character in the report of the Lovejoy disturbance on Thursday last. The colloquy be tween them was of such a character as to lead to the apprehension that Pryor will challenge Potter. Norfolk Card. We refer our readers to tha card of Messrs. Odom & Clements, Factors and Commission Merchants, Norfolk, Va. Why cannot our cotton be shipped from Ndr?. folk to Europe as well as from New York 1 These gentlemen offer the most satisfactory references and may be relied upon in every particular. The New Band. We were shown this morning the new set of musical instruments that hve been ordered by the Wilmington Light Infantry for the use of the band which they have recenly formed. The instruments are of German silver, and were manufactured for the company by Messrs. Russell &. Tolman, of Boston. They are teu in number, and it almost makes us feel musical ourselveds to see them. Mr. Collins' leading piece is said to be of pure silver, with a gold plate upon it, on which is in scribed, " Presented to the Wilmington Light In fantry bv the Ladies of Wilmington, N. C. May 20th, 1860." The instruments will be upon exhibition for a short time, at Mr. Prisson's musical establishment on Front street, where all who wish to; can see them. Wilmington Herald. .Wonderif the Wilmington Band will use their in struments aB energetically as the Newbern Band have theirs 7 If so they will fill all the Cape Fear region with melody. Re-Elected. At an election for municipal of ficers in Portsmouth, Va-, on Saturday last, May or Grice was re-elected by a majority of 105 votes over Nash his competitor. Mr. Grice'wa the dem ocratic candidate. The democrats also elected their entire ticket for councilmen. NEWBERN, N. C, TUESDAY MORNING, APRIL At Wilmington. We see it announced by the Wilmington papers that our townsman, D. K. McKrae, Esq., is to lecture in that place this evening,' the proceeds to go to a benevolent pur pose. THE DRIFT OF DISUNION. Republicanism, like murder, will " out." Strive as some of the more cunning of its leaders may, to throw over its hideous features a thin gauze of conservatism, the cloven foot cannot be concealed. Thus, when Old Brown went into Virginia to stir up a servile insurrection there, the imputation that he was a Republican was in dignantly denied. Nor was Gerrit Smith a Re publican; nor anybody else who advocated or encouraged interference with slavery in the States. These persons were abolitionists, pure and simple, and ought not to be identified with the Republican party, that sought to deal with slavery only in the Territories, the common heri tage of the country at large. This has all along been the preaching ; but if the practice is in ac cordance with that preaching, then such men as Mr. Lovejoy, of Illinois, ought to be forthwith ex communicated from the Republican party. The member from Illinois, however, is "as good a Re publican as Mr. Sherman of Ohio, or Mr. Burlin game of Massachusetts, or Mr. Grow of Pennsyl vania, or any other of the fathers, whose otho doxy and good standing in the church have nev er been called in question. Hence, it will scarce ly do for Wie managers to seek to do away with the damaging influence of Lovejoy 's appeal to the Republican party, to " extirpate slavery " by act of Congress just as polygamy has been extirpa ted by saying, " he is not a Republican or, " he is in advance of the Republican party ;" or, ' the Republican party is not responsible for his utterance." That game, we respectfully submit, is played out. Mr. Lovejoy is an excellent Re publican. He is not anything in advance of the Republican party. The Republican party is res ponsible for his utterances. Hence, when he in vokes Congress to " strangle slavery" when he denounces the " spirit of slaveholding " as the spirit of the devil" when he says " public sen timent will burn and scorn out" the institution his words are pregnant with fearful meaning a meaning they could never have, were he simply giving expression to his own individual views. The meaning is, that the slavery agitation must go on, on, on. The further meaning is, Insur rection, Civil War, and aDisolution of the Union. This is the true interpretation of Mr. Lovejoy's preaching on the floor of the House on Thursday last ; and let no man say the preacher is not a member in good standing of the Republican Church. This then being the drift, and these the ten dencies of Republicanism, it is more than ever the duty of all good men who love their country better than party to throw aside the shackles of the political machine and rally under the banner of the Constitution and Union. We should be sorry indeed to think that there are not many thousands of moderate conservative men who are Republicans at present just because they cannot be Democrats, and do not know exactly where else to go. We put it to the thinking portion of these, whether the time is not come, when they have a solemn duty to perform to themselves and to their country ; a duty that should move them at once to turn their backs upon a mischievous sectional organization, which in these Northern States, is gradually making up the fatal issue of Disunion and War. We repeat, that is just what interference with slavery in the States really means. We are happy to know that there are many national men who have hitherto acted with the Democratic paity, who say that the drift of that once national organization was likewise to sectionalize-r-on the opposite extreme who have had the couiage and manliness to give up their party for tls good of their country, and many more, we question nor, win in aue uuie ionow their example. If there art any Republicans who hesitate to fol- low where tie Lovejoys lead, let them go and do ' likewise. A. Y. Express. WHAT THE TENNESSEE DELEGATES ! SHOULD DO. The Joneiborough (Tenn.) Union says : "Douglas will go into the Charleston Conven tion with a majority vote of its delegates. His friends are earnest, enthusiastic, head strong like those who favored Buchanan's nomination at Cincinnati.' In that memorable convention, no sooner did Douglas learn that Buchanan had re ceived a majority ol the votes of the convention (which required too thirds to nominate) than he promptly sent a telegram to his friends to with draw his ntme and support Mr. Buchanan. This was done at once : and Buchanan was immediate ly nominated amidst boisterous exultations and the loudest enthusiasm. " We htfd that Douglas should be similarly treated at Charleston. We do not presume to dictate to pur delegates; but we advise them, af ter they have put forward their own man with all their heartiness and strength to test his speed and bottom, to lead the South, if some other State is not before them, in a bold and enthusiastic onset to the support of Douglas. And this should be done at an early stage of the balloting, to effect any favorable result for Tennessee. A laggard support, when that support is uot needed, is no support atall." OUR CcijSTRY First. Why did not the Re publicans In the House of Representatives come right straight up, like men. and vote for the regi ment of riflemen, to protect the (Texan) frontier from the robber raids of the Mexican freebooters 1 Or, likewise like men, come right out and say, No not a cent for the protection of our country men from the cut-throats and cut-purses oi the Co.- tin as stamp. We like frankness, but have no respect for such quibbling and dodging as that which we see some of the brethren are indulging, as an excuse for opposing the mesure. The ap propriation for it was not an extravagant one, and the necesity for it, it seems to us, in view of passing events on the Rio Grande, no reasonable" man can question. Sixty Republican votes were got, the other day, for " freedom for every human being " Cannot we have a vote now for " protec tion" to the human beings our own countrymen on the border ? Is the white man to be of no account, ever? Is it the negro only that can have the sympathies of the majority in the House ? Ah, but then, if we vote a million of dollars or so for this rigiment, don't you see how it may strengthen the Administration, and how it may be made as a sort of corruption fund, to defeat the Republican candidate for president. ? For these " mays," then, the national honor must be sacrificed, the houses of our countrymen burnt down-about their ears, on American soil, -and ra pine and murder be permitted to go on, just as usual. Party is thus everything the country nothing- Not one cent for defence, but millions, if they can be had, for the Chicago Convention ! iV. Y. Express. Hon. Roger A. Pryor. A correspondent ot the New York Bee, writing from Washington, fur nishes the following : Probably the one whose future career is to be the most brilliant in the House, and who has already made his mark, is Roger A. Pryor. Al ways occupied, often busy hours, writing at one of the tables, erect as a palm tree, his long smooth hair parted at one side, dark clothes, with broad watch guard over his shirt-bosom, one might easily sup pose he was some quiet parson, did he not see elder ly members in confab with him. Sometimes he is seen in earnest conference with Hunter or Toombs, then Douglas takes him by the button, or Mason sits down for a dignified chat. His industry alone would make him distinguished. United to more than common ability, if his tie is spared, his fu ture career must be a distinguished one. Sad axd Fatal Affray. On Thursday night last, there was a terrible tragedy enacted in Rock ingham county, Va. The Harrisburg corres pond en t of the Richmond Dispatch writes as fol lows : There was a wedding at the residence of Mr. Devier, on Briery Branch, in this county. Mr. D'a daughter was married to a Mr. Sites. time in the evening after the marriage was over, a party of young men, some eight or nine in num ber went to Mr. D.'s house and commenced sere nading the newly-married couple with tin-nans. Deus, am. mr. James Devier, a brother of the bride, went out to request the serenaders to leave. ui oilier or me whereupon the serenaders took to their he-ds and young Mr. D. and a friend who accompanied started in pursuit of the party. Devier, coming up near to one of them, a man by the name of Small wood, the latter suddenly turned upon Mr Deveir and shot him the slugs taking effect, one) in Mr. Devier's forehead, one below the eye, and one in the neck ; either of which .would have caused death. Mr. Devier was shot and died in-J stantly. 1 he-parties xn the affair, or at least a part of them, are highly respectable. In any event it is a very sad tertnintion to what was, per haps, iuted to be a frolic. m What i magnificent"' river of revelry must have inindated the entire vicinity of .the Head Quaters of his Majesty's forces in the Meditera neau, w)ien the Right Hon. Edward Russell, in 1694, caused a " treat" to be prepared in the shape of an ininense bowl of punch according to the following dimensions and arrangements, as pre sented ina scrap book : "It was," says the account, "made in a fountain in a gardin in the middle of four walks, all covered ovjr the hoad with lemon and orange trees ; and every walk was a table, the whole length of it covered with cold collations, &c. In the said fountain were the following iugredi euts, viz : fmr hogsheads of brandy, eigh hogs heads of vater, tweuty-five thousand lemons, twenty galons of lime juce, thirteen cwt. lump sugar, fivepounds grated nutmeg, three hundred toasted biscuits, and a pipe of Malaga wine. A canopy protected the fountain from the rain and a boy from the fleet rowed a boat around the foun tain and filled the cups of the company, which comprised upwards of six thousand men " Another Incendiary Trial, At the same time that Worth was convicted in Randolph county, a man named Harrold Wyllys was con victed at (Jreenville, S. C, of circulating the Im pending Crisis, and Uncle Tom's Cabin, lie was senteaced to a year's imprisonment. A bonfiie was made of his stock in trade, by an intelligenjnegro Bob, in presence of a large crowd. Bob said, that " as freely as he applied the lighted match to lie pile of combustibles before him, so freely wmid ho have applyed it to any of the ene mies of thi South ; for, said he, the man who is an enemy jo the south is an enemy to my master t i ana an eiemy to my master is an enemy mc." ! to PosTPoriNG a Divorce. The divorce docket oft he coming term of the Circuit Court promises to be remarkably flushed with divorce cases. The docket contains, however, one less than it would have under the ordinary run of circumstances The case was placed in tiie hands of a lawyer, and both parties were anxious for the separation. The nvter, it was thought, "was fixed and ready for judical action, when on j'estererday the law yer was applied to and intstructed to " let the case drop for a year or two." Upon inquiring ipto the why and wherefore, he discovered that the parties couldn't agree as to the division of their children, three of which they were blessed with, and taking the advice of a maternal umpire, they agreed to live together until the number became four, when they could divide equally aud seperate without difficulty. Petersburg Express. EriscoPAL.-The Petersburg Express of Wednes day, says : St. Paul Protestant Episcopal Church was the scene last night of the highly interesting ceremo ny of Confirmation, administered to fifteen can didates by the Right Rev. Bishop Meade. The church was filled from chancel to vestibule, and the galleries were thronged with visitors. The Rt. Rev. Bishop will perform the rite this evening, at half-past four o'clock, at Grace Chapel, when twenty-three candidates will be presented for con firmation. A Valuable Work Contemplated. The Fayettville Courier is gratified to learn, that the Rev. F. M. Hubbard, a writer of considerable ce lebrity and Professor at the University of North Carolina, has in contemplation the publication of a history of that institution. It would bo an inter esting and valuable work, and we trust that Mr. Hubbard will consent to prepare it. Declined. Paul C.
