Wake. All the whigs elected to the Commons

Two years ago Ellis carried it by over 800.
Guii-fokd. Reported majority of 1700 for

Oraxge. Whigs all elected and Pool reported
f 6 have a majority of 500.
A. reported whig gain in Franklin.

Lane, Dcrtch and Crawford elected to the Legis
lature and Thompson Sheriff.
From these indications there is certainly a revo
lution going on in the State, and of course peo
ple sober, staid, steady people will ask what has
caused it. Let the tricksters who commenced
f heir disunion scheme at Charleston and consuma
ted the treasonable plot at Baltimore answer. It
will all be attributed tovlrf Valorem but such con
clusions will be wrong. It no doubt has caused
some change but the democratic masses are in
debted to the creatures who betrayed them, for
selfish purposes, in the National Convention for
the present deplorable condition of the party.
Other returns as fast as they come in will be
placed upon our Bulletin Board in front of our
Counting Room.
We shall probably hear enough to determine
by the accommodation train which will arrive at
0 o'clock this (Saturday) evening.
We give below all the news received by mail
and otherwise up to the hour of going . to press
Saturday night.
The reports received on Friday were exaggera
ted in favor of Pool, and now after some thirty
counties have been heard from the election of
Ellis is conceded by from 3,000 to 5j000 and the
Legislature will be again largely democratic. In
6 counties heard from the democrats have lost 9
:ind gained 6 members only a loss thus far of
three.
Contrary to the expectations of its sanguine
supporters we doubt not but ad valorem has been
rejected by the people of the State by a decisive
vote, and in that event we shall hardly ever hear
much more of it. It will hardly ever do as well
again.
We condense the returns as follows :
Halifax. Ellis, 788; Pool, 595 nett gain for
Ellison Bragg's majority over Dockery, 160; and

The London correspondent of the New Orleans
Delta writes as follows relative to- the Prince of
Wales :
. He is a quiet lad, with no fast propensities, a
little delicate, and small of figure, and I doubt not
that there are many who will see the likeness at
once to old George III., which I think is some
what marked in this young Prince. He has been
brought up free from prejudice, and the Church
of England does not claim the majority of his in
structors. I believe his leading and principal tu
tor or governor, Mr. Gibbs, is a non-conformist,
and that he and all that are chosen as instructors
to the Royal children have undergone the stiict
est and severest questioning personally by the
Prince Consort and the Queen prior to their being
entrusted with their duties, and after having been
chosen by the learned as ornaments to learning.
You must know that a leading characteristic of
the Queen is her piety. It has marked her whole
1 career.

From the following we are given to understand
that Judge Douglas will probahly visit this State
in a sTinrf. tlmo Wo Tinnfi he Will Come, and We
promise that if he does arid his presence creates
no more enthusiasm than did the visit of General
Thrift wo will Iron him. The followine' is from
the Petersburg Express :
Bequest to the Childeen of Judge Douglas. By
the death last week of the mother of Judge Doug
las' first wife, who was a Miss Martin, of North
Carolina, his two boys, his only children, come
into possession of a large fortune. The Judge
has been sent for bv his connections in North Car
olina, and after bis New England tour will proba
bly visit the old North Stata.
Douglas iu Richmond.
The friends of Douglas held a meeting at the
African Church, Richmond, Va., on Wednesday
evening. An immense crowd was present and
great enthusiasm prevailed. The following reso
lutions were passed :
Resolved, That it is the first duty of every patriot
to seek the needful remedy for every actual or an
ticipated evil, in the Union and under the Constitu
tional provisions of our Federative system of Gov
ernment. Resolved, That the Constitution of the United
States, properly oonatiued and faithfully administer
ed, is the only safe reliance for the protection of the
vested rights of the people, and the reserved rights
of the States.
Reso7vrd, That there is no evil in the rightful ad
ministration of the Federal Government, for which
the Constitution does not furnish a plain, adequate
and complete remedy.
Resolved, That in view of the present distracted
condition of the National Democratic party, we
recognize Stephen A. Douglas, of Illinois, and II.
V. Johnson, of Georgia, as the regular Democratic
nominees, and as such are entitled to the cordial sup
port of every true and National Democrat. -
Resolved, That the President of the Douglas and
Johnscu Association of Richmond be, and is hereby,
authorized to appoint thirty delegates to represent
the National Democracy at the Staunton Conven
tien, on the 16th day of August next. r
Jere. Clemens vs. Sumxek. Jere. Clemens,
one of the editors of the Memphis Enquirer, writes
to that journal :
Huxtsville, June 12th, I860.
My Dear Sir . I see that Mr. Sumner, in his
late speech, thought proper to pay his respects to
me. He calls me a slave owner, and quotes a
part of my speech in reply to Mr. Khett, to prove
that violent and bloody instincts are engendered
by the relation of master and slave. It may sur
prise Mr. Sumner to learn that I have never been
the owner of a slave. I have never been engag
ed in any pursuit or avocation in which slave la
bor would have been the slightest benefit to me,
and I have never been able to buy slaves for the
mere purpose of waiting upon me. There is a
negro man here with whom I was raised, who has
lived with me a great deal, and who was with me
throughout the Mexican war; but the title to him
was not in me it was in my father; and if Mr
Sumner will ask any of the surviving officers or
soldiers of the 9th Infantry, (all of whom were
from New England,) I think they will tell him
that it was a matter of some doubt whether I be
longed to the negro or he belonged to me.
At all events, if Mr. Sumner will send here, in
one month, double the sum that negro would
bring, if offered for sale, he could not. induce him
to touch it, with a condition annexed that he
should live in Massachusetts as a freeman. Mr.
Sumner may find some apology for the bitterness
of his late speech, in the chastisement inflicted
upon him by the lamented Brooks, but the igno
rance ha displays of Southern manners and South
ern society, can hardly be accounted for on the
same ground. If he had passed half tho time
among us years n.o, which he spent among the
English Abolitionists, he would have escaped the
caning, as well as the more disgraceful exhibition
he has made of himself.
A Rebellion. Women in Arms. The Chester
(111.) Democrat states that great excitement exists
in Liberty. A number of women stated to be
eleven in number-have revolted against the jrrocr
shops and tapped the barrels of several groceries.
At a drinking establishment called the "Young
America," the proprietor charged upon thorn and
they fled. The men of the town held a meeting
the next day, at which it was
Resolved , That wo will defend our properfj' at
the risk of our lives against the " eleven" and nl!
other women ; that this is a free country, nnd men
are allowed, under the laws, to do as they please;
that women should not be allawed to smash up
" property," especially " spirits ;"' that women
should b(? sent to the penitentiary for riotous con
duct as well as men ; that we will give twenty
five cents per head for the apprehension of the
" eleven" and all others that talk that way; that
we are under many obligations to the proprietors
of "Bogus" and "Young America'' for the "spirit"
they have so liberally used in this effort, to main
tain law and order ; that everybody should learn
to mind their own business, especially women ;
that Young America" is an established institu
tion, and well calculated to refine our tastes, and
cannot be " dried up;" that we are not afraid of
" women."
The " eleven" aro still receiving reinforce
ments from the women around, and the war is
not yet ended.
Inmisii Emigration to America. Rev. Dr.
Cahill, the celebrated Irish orator, now travel in"
in this country, writes in one of his recent let
ters concerning Irish emigration to America that
he has never encouraged his countrymen to come
here, as has been alleged. He says that single,
sober young men, by coming to the United States,
can, beyond all doubt, secure a happy home but,
he adds :
A married man has a bad chance here ; his first
embarrasments with a wife and children are al
most insurmountable.and in a majorityof instances
he sinks under them. How, for instance, can he
carry them hundreds of miles along railroads ?
Where is the money? And if he leaves them be
hind in the city how can he support them, while
he is himself unsettled ? They will starve or go
to the poorhousein seperation and a broken heart.
Again, a young gentleman, or an old gentleman,
has no chance here. All the public officers are
obtained by vote ; and hence no one but a known
citizen can obtain them. This country is good
only for the laborer or the tradesman ; and in these
cases it is, perhaps the most prosperous country
in the whole world.
The Homer Iliad, a Louisiana Douglas Journ
al, has the following on the Southern Press :
" So far as we have been able to learn, a majori
ty of the newspapers of the South are for Breck
inridge and Lane. This simply proves that these
editors are lacking in moral nerve, that great de
sideratum which should enter largely into the com
position of every conductor of a public journal.
They find it easier to suecumb to a local prejudice,
void alike of principle and common sense, than
to combat error with the sword of truth. Gentle
men if such you may be called our contempt
for you is unfathomable. You are traitors to your
country, to truth, and to God. To 4 be just and
fear not,' Is a maxim which you trample under
foot with that beastial greediness with which
svHne would rend those who might cast pearl be
fore Ch em: If the people follow in your truckling
train, we i shall be very much deceived in Ameri
can manlrapd, and will then be ready, like the
old prophet.to weep a deluge for the human
race.' " v
Left the Gas Burning and Went to Eu
rope. The New York correspondent of the Mo
bile Register, relates the "following:
Recently a gentleman returned from Europe
he had been absent with his family seven months!
He paid his gas bill the day he left", and the house
had not been opened for seven month?, yet when
it was, the gas man took a return from the meter,
and a bill was made out for $52. Mr. Grinneli
went and complained to the secretary, related She
circumstances, and threatened exposure of such a
Daretacea roooery. tie refused to pay the bill
Mr. G. went
said she.
said rIip tI.o
day we left New York, I had to go back to the
house for some article I had forgot The window
shutters were fastened; I lit the gas ; the other
day when we returned I found it -till burning."
It r I I r 11 - . m
very wen, sir, saia tlie secretary,
home and told his wife. " Pay it,"
" Why so!" said he. "Because."
THE GAME THEY PLAY.
There is not one of the leaders of the Breckinridge
Bolters and Seceders, if you witt sound him, but
is in favor of disunion if Lincoln is elected. Ask
Yancey if he is in favor of disunion if Lincoln is
elected, and he will answer you yes? Butcsk
him when disunion and strife comes upon the
country, if he will shoulder his musket, and ten
to one, if he would not have tho consumption,
neuralgia, or some other disease that would re
quire him to visit Cuba or some other outlanlish
country: Ask John T. Morgan if he is in fayor of
disunion, if Lincoln is elected ? And he will an
swer you, yes ; but when disunion, strife and an
archy was brought on the country, ask him to
shoulder his musket, and ne would answer that
in early boy-hood one of his legs was disabled,
and that he was unable to take up his musket.
Ask Sam Rice if he is in for disunion if Lincoln
- I A. 1 t T
is elected, and lie will answer yes ; out hsk mm
if he will shoulder his rnusket and march to
the scene of blood and carnage when internal
strife, bloodshed and carnage come on, the Judge
will excuse himself upon the ground, that was
not the feast he was invited to, and he will
find Talladega Springs a more deligetful retreat.
So it will be with the most ot tnese leauing i're-
cipitators. They divide, break up and sectional
ize the democratic party, as much as they can,
when they know that by breaking up the Dem
ocratic party, they secure the election of Lincoln,
for which they say they are for dissolving the
Union. The election of Lincoln by their own
infidelity to the democratic party, and then call
upon Southern men to dissolve and plunge the
countrv into anarch v. from whicli there is no
calculating how the South may retrieve itself.
We ask every man, who desires peace, prosperi
ty and happiness, to look at what the acts and
conduct of these men are leading to? Many good
men, we know, believe it a duty they owe to
themselves and the South, to support - Breckin
ridge, and it is for this class of our citizens we
have sympathy. For the leaders in this involun
tary revolution and ruin of the country, we have
no sympathy. They know what they are doing,
and do what they do with cold blood. It is the
leaders of this movement which leads to strife
and ruin of the South, we .denounce as traitors to
their country Sclma Ala.) Sentinel.
From Hall's Journal of Health.
SABBATH PHYSIOLOGY.
The Almighty observed one seventh of the
time of creation, commanding man to observe an
equal repose. Tha neglect of this injunction
will always, sooner or later, bring mental, nior
ral and physical death.
Rest is an invariable law sf animal life. The
busy heart beats ever, from infancy to age, and
yet for a large part of the time, it is in a state of
repose
Wm. Pitt died of apoplexy at the early age of
forty-seven. When the destinies of nations hung
in a large measure on his doings, he felt compell
ed to give an unremiting attention to affairs of
State. Sabbath brought no rest to him, and soon
the unwilling brain gave signs of exhaustion.
But his presence iu Parliament was conceived to
be indispensible for explanation and defense of
the public policy. Under such circumstances,
it was his custom to eat, heartily, substanstial
food, most highly seasoned just before going to
his place, in order to afford the body that strength
and to excite the mind to that activity deemed
necessary to the momentous occasion. But under
the high tension both body and brain perished
prematurely.
Not long ago one of the most active business
men of England found his affairs so extended,
that he deliberately determined to devote his
Sabbaths to his accounts. He had a mind of a
wide grasp. His views were so comprehensive;
so far-seeing, that wealth came in upon him like
a flood. He purchased a country seat at the cost
of $100,000, determining that he would now have
rest and quiet. But it was too late. As he step
ped on his threshold after a survey of his late
purchase, he became apoplectic. Although life
was not destroyed, he only lives to be the wreck
of a man.
It used to be said that a brick kiln must be kept
burning over the Sabbath, it is now known to be
a fallicy. There can be no "must," against the
divine commanu. ijvch now it is icwufii
opinion that iron blasts furnaces will bring ruin if
not. kept in continual operation. Eighteen years
ago, mi Englishmen determined to keep the Sab
bath as to them, with the result, as his books tes
tified, that he made more iron in the six days
than he did before iu seven; that he made more
iron in a riven time, in proportion to the number
(if hands and of thu riirnaiices, than any estab
lishment!! England which was kept in oper
ation during the Sabbath.
In our own N'v York, the mind of a man who
male half amiilion a year, went out in the night
of madness and an early grave in two years, from
the strain put. upon it by a variety of enterprise,
every one ot which succeeded.
" It will take about five years to clear them off,''
said an observant master of an Ohio canal boat,
alluding to the wearing-out influences on the
boatmen, who worked on Sabbaths as well other
days. As to the boatmen and firemen on the
Western rivers, which never lay by on the Sab
bath, seven years is the average of life. The
observance therefore of the seventh portion of
our time for the purpose of rest is demonstrably a
physioligical necessity a law of our nature.
FROM WASHINGTON.
Washington. Aug. 1. Capt Wm B Slack has
been appointed Quartermaster General of the Ma
rine Corps, vice Sutherland, dismissed.
The New 'York Herald to-day has a dispatch
from this city which gives the news that an agent
will be sent to sound the English and French
cabinets on the manner in whicli they would treat
the seceding States, ( who send the agent) in case
they dissolved the Union and get up a Southern
Confederacy.
Gov Floyd left for Virginia to-day. This
leaves only two members of the cabinet in Wash
ington. Twe Slave Trade of New York. A corres
pondent of the New York Post sends to that journ
al a detailed list of eighty-five slavers fitted out
at that port from February, 1859, to July 1860.
He adds : ,
Added to the eighty five above slavers some
half dozen have gone through the Sound, and the
names of which could not be obtained. This is
about as correct a list as can be got up and de
rived from the New York city papers and the Eng
lish journals. Some twenty vessels have been de
tained under suspicion. A great many others have
cleared from European and South American
ports.
Which is the Enemv of the South. The
Louisville Democrat asks the following plain and
pertinent question :
The Black Republicans are more honest in
their opinions than the Yancey party. They hold
that it is the duty of Congress to prohibit slavery
in the Territories. They had a majority in the
House, and they passed through the House a
bill prohibiting slavery in New Mexico.
The Yancey Breckinridge party hold that it is
the duty of Congress to protect slavery in the
Territories They had a majority in the Senate,
but when the proposition was made there to pro
tect slavery in Kansas, only three of their num
ber voted for the proposition.
Which has the South the most cause to fear,
an open foe or a treacherous friend ?
For Douglas. J as. L. Ball, Esq., Demo
cratic Presidential elector for this county, in a
speech in this county on Wednesday last, came
out boldly forjudge Douglas. Mr. Ball, though
in opposition to the leaders, will find many en
dorses with the 'rank and file" of the Democracy
of this county. We pr diet, though, that Mr.
Ball, like many other Douglas men in North Car
olina, will be driven by the leaders of the party
into the support of Breckenridge.
Many Democoats are favorable to Douglas, but
lack the "back-bone" to say so E. City State.

The Crarcii Representation.
It is unnecessary to disguise the fact that we are
disappointed in the result in this county or to say
that the democratic party have not acted in bad
faith toward their nominees, and yet with candor
we can say ' that Craven has a representation of
which no county need be . ashamed. N. II. Street
E.q., who is elected to the Senate is a gentleman of
extended information, a thorough acquaintance
with the wants of the people and a prudent legislator
In him we shall have a reliable and worthy repre
sentative.
C. C. Clark, Esq., and E' F. Alfred, the Common
ers elected, will represent the county we doubt not
in a manner that will reflect credit on themselves
and give satisfaction to their constituents. Of Mr.
Alfred we know but little httwerer save what we
hear from others, not even knowing him persojmllv,
but Mr. Clark is not only one of the most talented
and promising young men in this secMon of the State
but he bids fair to occupy elevated positions in the
service of the State. He is a successful debater and
a brilliant speaker and we predict for Lira a useful
and successful career in the Legislature.
The large majority received by A. C. Latham E-q.
for Sheriff, over a very popular competitor, shows an
abiding confidence iu that effieiest and worthy offi
cer. What Caused It. There has been a change
of nearly a thousand votes in Wake county
against the democracj', and of course everybody
will want to know what caused It. We are not
disposed to give our opinion in full, but we sup
pose it is generally known that the Standard has
been snubbed and the Press embraced by the or
gan makers and sustainers, and the Standard hav
ing a very large circulation and an extensive in
fluence, and the Press a very small circulation
and very little influence, this course on the part
of the ; powers that be " may have contributed
somewhat to bring about the result. It won t do,
always, to snub our equals and rely upon the
strength of the party to take us through. This
campaign will impart several useful lessons.
Illegal Voting We learn that it is asserted
that two or three free negroes voted at one of the
nrecincts in the election on Thursday last. If
this be so wo hope the fact will be ' established,
for we oppose any negro suffrage in North Caro

MOVEMENTS OF MR. DOUGLAS.
Concord, N. II., July 13. Mr. Douglas left
Montpelier this morning, and arrived at Concord
at half past three o'clock this afternoon. He
was loudly cheered at the several stations on the
route.
A great crowd, headed by four bands of music,
and a procession of carriages turned out to receive
him here. He passed through the principal
streets to the State House yard, where he spoke
for over an hour.
Mr. Douglas, after thanking his friends for the
reception, referred to the Lecomptou constitution,
and said the attempt to force upon an unwilling
people a constitution they did not. like, was vio
lating not alone the democratic creed, but the
American creed also. If the people want to make
a slave State of Kansas they had the right to do
so. Every Republican in Congress voted with
him (Douglas) to admit Kansas as a slave State if
the people so desired it. Now the republican
party denounced him for advocating the identi
tical principle they then voted for. The Presi
dent drained the right to control his vote and that
was the origin of their quarrel. If the Executive
was permitted to direct a representative how to
vote, then his power became that of a despot. He
had hoped the Lecompton controversy nad been
settled by tho people's vote, but it was now open
on the national theatre. The President had no
right to nominate his successor. The President
has taken the stump to divide and defeat the par
ty that elected him. The principle that he (Mr.
Douglas) stood upon what was the right of the
people to make thdr own laws and to establish
institutions to suit theinsf Ives.
That was the principle of the revolutionary war
democrats, but it is now said that Congress can
pass federal laws, not local and domestic, laws, for
the people of a Territory who have equal rights oi
self-government, and who went from the old
States where they had those rights. Why sh m d
they loose them in the ferry boat crossing the
Missouri river ? The time of Congress would be
lost, until the negro question is settled.
In conclusion, he said this was the first time in
twenty-seven years he had looked on a fight with
out taking a hand in it. He was now enjoying
a holiday, speaking a little just for exercise.
In the evening Mr. Lever held a levee, and a
considerable quantity of fire-works were let off.
Pofular Bathing. Life at Cape May is thus

THE GREAT EASTERN AT CAPE MAY.
The Great Eastern reached Cape May on the
31st ult. We give the following particulars, which
have been telegraphed to the press :
" There is great dissatisfaction on board her.
There are no adequate accomodations, food is
scarce and dear, and water is selling at ten cents
a glass. Indignation resolutions censuring the
directors have been unanimously passed. Sin
gular conduct has been manifested hy he offi
cials towards passengers. She starts for N$w
York to-night, and will reach there about six
o'clock in the evening."
It is announced that the steamer Great Eastern
wil again be opened for exhibition at New York
on the 13th, 14th, and 15th, after returning from
the Chesapeake. m
The Masonic Fraternity. The past few
years have been marked with the rapid growth
of Masonry in the United States. The number
of members within the jurisdiction of the Grand
Lodges of the several States are not reported, but
we learn from the statistics of the Grand Lodge
of the United States that there were in 1859 up
wards of 4,600 lodges, and counting the number
of members for each lodge at forty-five, which is
twenty-five less than the general average for the
State of New York, and thirty-five less than that
of Pennsylvania, yve have the number of Masons
connected with lodges in the Union as nearly
two hundred and seven thousand, while there
are a large number of Masons in every State not
connected with any lodge. It is safe, therefore,
to put down the number of Masons at the present
time within the United States at a quarter of a
million. Pittsburg Post.

Flowrrs nntl Therm,
BV EVA MAY.
We are all the time iinconsciously planting
either flowers or thorns in the hearts of thoso
around us. We speak gently to a friend, and
quickly a love flower springs sn his heart ; again
we let an unguarded expression fall from our lips,
and thus plant in some sensitive heart, a rankling
thorn, a sunny smile. A soothing word, a soft ca
ress, plant rare flowers of beauty in the human
heart, while an unkind act, a chilling glance, or
bitter word. Plant thorns which rankle long in
wounded hearts, and cause tears of anguish- to
flow from eyes which before beamed but with
love for us. How often from mere thoughtlesss
we give utterance to some harsh expression,
which falls like a leaden weight on the heait of
our dearest friend, and lingers there in bitter
ness long after we have forgotten it. Then
again some endearing word or glance of approv
val, falls like a ray of warm sunshine on a des
ponding heart, causing flowers of love and hope
to spring, where only throns of distrust and des
pair grew before.
Readers which do you plant oftenost in tho
hearts of those who love you, flowers or throns ?

Dear Progress : A woman by the name of
Mundy, unmarried, I think, was run over by the
train and instantly killed, on last Saturday nightr
about 4 miles above this place on the Wilmington
it Weldon Eailroad. She had left a neigh
bor's house an hour previous in an intox
icated state, and must have fallen upon the
track, where she remained unconscious of ap
proaching danger until crushed beneath the pon
derous wheels of the locomotive. The engineer,
though aware that he had run over something
upon the track, was not assured of the terrible
fact that it was a human being until he arrived
at this place, when strands of a woman's hair and
portions of her dress were discovered upon the
cow-catcher. An engine was dispatched in
search oi the body which was soon found and in a
horribly mutilated condition.

on Saturday the 23th ult., at Davis Cross Roads,
