This old political fossil has been exhumed, and has recently been making a speech at Memphis, Tenn. It will be recollected that in 1850 he sud denly changed from a strong southern rights man to one of the most abject submissionists. Repudi ated by his State, he emigrated to California ; and disowned by the Democratic party, he turned Know Nothing. Neither his new State nor his new party honored him with office, and now he returns to the old States, a restless victim of the devil of ambition, filled with impotent rage, and writhing in the grasp of the fiend. The Washington Union thus alludes to him: - "The Hon. Henry S. Foote, whose star has been in eclipse so many years, has suddenly reappeared in Meniphis, Tennessee. The political wanderer and outcast, after passing through as many vicissitudes as the flying Dutchman, has ended his adventurous cruise at the port aforesaid. He has spent a fretful exile in California, where the exhilarating influences of the gold fever were expected to assuage his po lineal remorses : ne nas passea a seven years ap prenticeship in the Botany Bay of political convicts atoning for peccadilloes committed against the laws of the Democracy at home ; and he has now come back to embark de nevo upon a new political career. His behavior in the interim has not, however, been propitious of an improved life. He became implicated during his exile with the order of Know Nothings, and his period of regeneration was thus converted into one of deeper political crime and degradation. His sins, so far from becoming whiter than snow, have grown darker and more grim than at first, from the soot of the Lantern and the dank sweat of the culvert. Accordingly his reapparance at Memphis has not been creditable. Imagine one of the queens of Billingsgate carried to the solitudes of Van Dieman's Land for seven years, and then restored to her old, congenial pre cinct. Yet, her tongue, let loose after so long a durance, would scarcely rival in the rapidity and fury of its envenomed utterances the unruly mem ber to which Mr. Foote gave so loose a rein at Mem phis. There is a legend of a ship which went on a cruise in the Arctic regions, and reached a point of intense cold, where the words of her officers and crew became frozen and inaudible as they fell from the lips; but as soon as the vessel reached a latitude of thaw, on her return, she became a little Babel with the din and clamor of the melting words. In the speech of Mr. Foote at Memphis seems to have been discharged all the pent-up verbosity which had been struggling seven years for utterance in that querulous old man. To read it, one would think that all the furies had been let loose at once to tear and rend the devoted carcase of our good old De mocracy. The speech has all the characteristics which inva riably belong to the effusions of bankrupt, tabooed, and desperate Democratic politicians. Its eulogies on renegade Democratic leaders are in the highest strain of superlative extravagance; and its denun ciations of the Democratic organization and . of its accredited leaders are more bitter and abusive than speakers of the regular opposition ever had the har dihood to utter in their diatribes." . ,. . ; - . - Tournament at our State Fair. We are pleased to announce that the young gen tlemen of Raleigh have determined to get up a first clan tournament for our ensuing State Fair. Such arrangements have been already made as to render the tournament certain. Full particulars will here after be made known. We are glad to be able to make this announce ment, as it evinces an increasing interest in the State Fair. From all quarters, we learn, the most en couraging assurances are being received of a hearty co operation by the people in the efforts of the Ex ecutive Committee. We are requested to announce to those interested, that the final meeting in connection with the pro posed tournament, will be held at the Hall of the Raleigh Debating Society, on Saturday evening next, at 8 o'clock. Sheriffs and Taxes. Last Thursday, (Sept. 80th) was the last day allowed by law to the various sher iffs for settling their tax accounts with the Comp troller of State, that being the last day of "the fiscal year of our State government. We believe that four or five sheriffs have failed to make their returns. We learn that there is a slight increase,of revenue as compared with that of last year. The Atlantic Telegraph continues dumb. -The operators say it makes some signs, but they are un intelligible. . . Wimon Invention. We are pleased to learn that Mr. Charles Kenyon, of this place, has secured a Pa tent Right for a Self-Cupler to the Railroad Car. We understand it is simple in its construction and will be of much benefit to Railroad companies gen erally. We hope the invention will prove successful.-- fjtdger. New Yobk Educational Convention. This body of educators and friends of education held their an nual meeting at Elmira last week, the Superintend ent of Public Instruction, Hon. H. H. Van Dyck, in the chair. Only fifty of the one hundred and thir ty-two in the State of district commissioners and city superintendents appeared in the Convention. We make the following extracts, based on the re ports of these officers, showing the condition of the schools in New York : "The statements were generally much alike, and the state of the schools, although improving under the present system, was shown to be far from what it should be. In every district there are some good school-houses and teachers, but, witlr the exception of the cities ard villages, most of the school houses were pronounced to be bad, very bad, and worthless; some of them mere miserable shells. The lack of qualification among teachers was universally com plained of,,and the Commissioners, almost without exception, stated that they should be obliged to close many of their schools if they i ejected even third-rate teachers. School trustees were generally remiss in the discharge of their duties, and exceed ingly illiberal being satisfied with teachers at 10 shillings a week, and seldom visiting the schools. This charge was shown to apply to more than two thirds of the entire number of trustees throughout the State. To these evils was added the general su pineness and indifference of parents ard people in regard to their schools, not one in ten sending chil dren to them, ever entering the school-house, or in any way aiding or encouraging the teacher by per sonal attendance or counsel. Every effort was made in some districts to keep the schools open six months of the year on the public money, the peo ple seeming to have an unaccountable horror of be ing taxed to support schools. It wa'S broadly hinted that many parents in the Empire State devote much more personal attention and money to the training and development of their horses, cattle, pigs and puppies, than o their schools and the education of their children." This is by no mans a cheering picture, and we present it to encourage the friends of education in this State. If this account be correct, our system of Common Schools is clearly superior to that of New York, and is effecting more good in proportion to the children to be taught. We extract further from the report of the pro ceedings, as follows: " Mr. Randall offered a series of resolutions in fa vor first of opening schools by reading a portion of Scripture. Second, recommending the Legislature to provide for the establishment of central high schools, in all cases where practicable. Third, re commending a like consolidation of the library mo ney for the institution of libraries, 6uited to the character of such central high schools. The following gentlemen were now elected offi cers of the Association, the State Superintendent, by virtue of his office, being President : For Vice President Hon. S. 5 Randall, of New York. For Seretary Daniel Beach, of Schuyler. For Treasu rer L. W. Moody, of Broome. Mr. Randall here called up his first resolution, in relation to reading the Bible in schools, which, after some spicy discussion, in which Messrs. Bulkley, of Kings; Smith, of Tioga; Farley, of Livingston; Pattingill, of Steubew : Todd, of Wayne, Mr. Ran dall and the State Superintendent participated, was unanimously adopted amid applause. The other resolutions were laid over, and Mr. Van Dyck delivered an address occupying half an hour, containing suggestions and setting forth his views in regard to the best methods of procedure on the part of Commissioners. According to his showing, the Commissioners are almost powerless to do more than examine teachers and give good advice, to School Trustees. They have no power to appoint teachers, or to insist on any improvements however necessary, in regard to Schools and school-houses. The address was eloquent, and was received with extreme favor." Fornet's Accusation against toe President. In a late speech at Tarrytown, New York, Col. For ney, of the Philadelphia Pre, and one of the most industrious of the allies of Douglas and R. J. Walker, ' pretended to retail various private conversations which he had with the President, in one which he makes Mr. Buchanan say he had changed his Kan sas policy and had asked him (Forney) (o do the same. The Washington Union, referring to the accusations of Forney, says : " Now, let it be remembered that this is given as a private and confidential conversation between For ney and his "old friend," the President, and Forney himself is the man who repeats it on the stump amid the "cheers" of the President's enemies. Forney knew that the Abolitionists there present would swallow it greedily as a thing calculated to bring the character of the President into disgrace and con tempt. Is any man who will publish a conversation uudersuch circumstances entitled to belief? In an other part of the speech he says : " For myself if I could descend to the business of publishing pri vate letters, I could" &c. In what school of moral ity did he learn that there was a difference between the baseness of publishing private letters and the baseness of repeating private conversation ? Did Mr. Forney ever hear of a man who descended to either without becoming an object of public con tempt ? Our purpose, however, was not to censure this statement for the want of honor implied in making it, but to denounce it, as we now do most emphati cally, for its unmitigated and total destitution of all honesty and truth. No such conversation took place, nor any conversation at all between those parties on that subject Mr. Forney never had the courage to address Mr. Buchanan in that strain, and he certain ly had not the impudence to offer his advice to the man of whose personal character he had been the ha bitual traducer for months before Lecompton or an- ti-Lecompton was thought of." f . . i Good Arrangement. We understand that the Executive Committee of the North-Carolina Agricul tural Society are erecting an auctioneer's stand and ring on the show grounds near this City, for the ac commodation of the Members of the Society. This is a practical feature, and will contribute much to the permanency of the Society. There will be an auc tioneer on hand, who will sell on each day of Exhi bition, such stock and articles as the members may wish to dispose of. The hours of sale will be here after determined and published, but no removal of property will be allowed until after the close of the Exhibition. . New Plough. Mr. Alex. Dickson, of Orange county, N.'C, has received a patent right for a plough invented by him, to do the work of a turning and subsoil plough at one operation. The N. C. Planter in noticing this plough, says : " The subsoil attachment can be taken awny, and by a simple stock used as a subsoil or colter, and the plough as a turning plough alone. It is so con structed as to answer all the purposes of a plough and colter. The plough may now be seen at Mr. Burns' shop, and will be on exhibition at the next State Fair." North-Carolina .Planter.

The steamer reported to have been seen on fire in the Atlantic, by the Arabian, proves to be the Austria "of the Hamburg line, Capt. Hetdtmann. She left Hamburg on 1st Sep tember, and Southampton on 4th, and took fire on the night of the 13th inst- Twelve passengers saved from the steamer Austria have arrived at this port (Halifax) and they state that only six or seven were saved out of nearly six hundred souls. The Austria had on board about two hundred and fifty persons, including many Germans resident in America, who had been spending the summer in tho old country. The Austria had a large number of steerage pas sengers. Her freight was very valuable, consisting in great part of velvetand silk winter dry goods. second dispatch Halifax, Sept 27. The barque Lotus arrived here yesterday with 12 of the G7 passengers who were saved from the steamer Austria, which was burnt at sea on the 13th inst. The passengers re port, that a little after 2 o'clock in the afternoon of the 13th a dense volume of smoke burst from the after entrance of the steerage. The speed of the steamer was instantly slackened one half, at which speed she continued until the magazine exploded, when the engineers, it is supposed, were instantly suffocated. The fire next burst through the lights amidships and then traveled aft with fearful rapidity. A boat let down on the port side was instantly crushed ; another on the starboard side was swamp ed by the number who rushed into it. AH of the first cabin passengers were on the poop, excepting a few gentlemen, who must have been smothered in the smoking room. Many persons from the second cabin were also on the poop, but a number were shut up in the cabin by the fire. Some were pulled up through ventilators, but a greater number per ished. The last woman who was drawn up said that six were already suffocated. Several men and women on the poop jumped into the sea by twos and threes. The clothes on some of the women were already in flames ; others hesi tated till they were driven into the sea at the last moment by the advancing flames. In half an hour not a soul was left on the poop. The French bark Maurice, Captain Earnest Ren aud, came alongside at 5 o'clock, and rescued forty passengers. They were chiefly taken off the bow sprit, but some were struggling in the water. At 8 o'clock the metalic boats came up with twenty-two persons, including the first and second offi cers. Subsequently, four men were picked up from floating pieces of the broken boat. The second offi cer was afterwards rescued from the water. Both he and the third officer are severely burnt. Many of the male passengers are fiiglitlully burnt. Six women only were saved, three of whom are shock ingly burnt A Norwegian bark went alongside the steamer next morning and sent her boat. She may have picked up a few persons. The Maurice had no con munication with her. We have not yet heard the names of any of those saved. Later accounts, by the rescued possengers,state that the fire was the result of gross negligence in fumigating the steerage with burning tar. One of the passengers says : " The fire now came on too fiercely to attempt to get up any more from the swamped boat. All the first cabin passengers were only on the poop, with the exception of a few gentlemen who mut have been smothered in the smoking room. Many of the second cabin passengers were also on the poop, but a number of them got shut into their cabin by the fire; some of them were pulled up through the ventilator, but the greater number could not be ex tricated. The last woman who was drawn up said there were six already suffocated. We now perceived that the ship had got her head to the wind again, so that the flames came over the quarter deck. In con sequence of the crowd, I could not get to the wheel-house to ascertain the reason, but I was in formed that the helmsman had deserted his post, and , that the vessel, being left to herself, headed to the wind of her own accord. At this time the scene on ; the quarter deck was indescribable and truly heart , rending. Passengers were rushing frantically to and fro husbands seeking their wives wives in search of their husbands relatives looking after relatives mothers lamenting the loss of their chil dren some wholly paralyzed by fear, others madly crying to be saved ; but a few perfectly calm and collected. The flames pressed so closely upon them that many jumped into the sea relatives clasped in each other's arms leaped over and met a watery grave. Two girls, supposed to be sisters, jumped over and sunk kissing each other. A missionary and wife leaped into the sea together, and the Ste wardess and the Assistant Stward, arm in arm, fol lowed. One Hungarian gentleman, with seven fine children, four of them girls, made his wife jump in, then blessed his six eldest children, made them jump in. one after the other, and followed them with an infant in his own arms. I, about this time, was standing outside the bulwarks, holding on by the davits and leaning out to avoid the flames, which were leaping towards me. I saw a swamped boat under me, spinning by a rope still attached to the ship, and, as the oars were tied in her. I thought if . I could get to her I would be enabled to save my- . self and some others. I let myself down by a rope passing over a man ; who was clinging to it, but who refused to come ; with me. I took out a penknife to cut the tackle; the large blade broke, and I then severed it with the small blade. The ship passed ahead. As the screw approached, I found the boat drawn towards it I tried to keep the boat off, but the screw caught and rcapsized her over me. I dived away from the ship, and came to the surface near a boat which was keel upwards. I got upon her, and by pressing on one side, with the assistance of a wave, she righted, but was still swamped. The oars had been knocked out by the screw. The only thing I could find in her to paddle with was some laths nailed together as a sheathing for the sides. When I looked around the ship was a quarter of a mile away from me. I could see the ladies and gentlemen jumping off the poop into the water in twos and threes, some ot the ladies in flames. Several hesitated to leap from the burning ship until the last moment, as the height was 22 feet, and were only at length compelled to throw themselves off to avoid a more painful death. In half an hour not a soul was to be seen on the poop. I pulled after the ship and picked up a Ger man, who was swimming strongly. I got him be side me on the boat, and we paddled after the 6hip, with the laths. I now saw a vessel under sail ap proaching. She reached the steamer at about 5 P. M. We continued pulling towards them, and about half past seven o'clock, after being five hours in the water, got within hail of the sailing vessel, which put off a boat and took us on board. She proved to be the French bark Maurice, Captain Ernest Renaud, of Nantes, bound from Newfoundland to the Isle of Bourbon, with fish. She had, up to '.hat time, res cued forty passengers of the burning steamer, chief ly taken off the bowsprit, though a few were picked up floating around. At about 8 o'clock one of the metallic boats came up with about twenty-three per. sons, including the first and third officers; after wards three or four men were picked up floating on a piece of the broken boat. The second officer was taken up, having been swimming, with nothing to float him, for six hours. The second and third offi cers' were -severely burt, one male passenger was burnt frightfully, and some other male passengers slightly. There were but six women saved, three of whom were burnt, one in a shocking manner. Capt. Renand acted with the utmost kindness. He gave clothes, as far as he could furnish them, to the suffering passengers, and acted as nurse, doctor and surgeon to the burnt people, dressing' the wounds of the females with a delicacy and tender ness that evinced a benevolent and amiable disposi tion. I did not see an officer of the ship during the Cre, and am certain there was not one of them or the crew on the poop, except a man at the wheel for a short time. I understand that when the cap ttin beaid of the fire, he rushed on deck without a cup, and when he saw the flames, exclaimed, " We tre all lost" He tried to get out a boat, which, when let down, was swamped, and be, whether ac cidently or not I do not know, fell into the sea, and nas sion left far behind. The fourth officer was in this boat He cut her loose from the davits ; she was cirried under the screw and smashed, and sev eral in her drowned. Three or four men escaped on a fragment of the wrecked steamer, and were picked up by the Mau rice, as before Mated. About the same time one metalic life boat was let down from the port bow and swamped, but afterwards got clear with about 33 persons in her, including the first and third offi cers and seven women. The men in the boat cap sised her two or three times in trying to clear her of water. Ten persons were thus drowned, includ ing some women. They afterwards bailed her out with iTTo preservers cut in two, and pulled for the Maurice, having picked up two or three passengers before reaching the barque. Altogether there were 67 souls taken into the Maurice during the night" Additional Details. New York, Sept. 29. The steamer Prince Al bert, from Liverpool, has arrived. The list of saved passengers from the steamer Austria is correct with the addition of S. Peterson and F. Thompson. Several passengers by the Prince Albert, includ ing ,Mr. Rosen, of Richmond, and Mr. Berry, of Hackensack, N. J., give statements of the disaster on board the Austria, differing, though not subslan tiall, from ihe previous account Mr. Rosen says his father was in the boat when it was cut from the davits, but fell out afterwards and supported himself with an oar. After the boat righted his father caught hold of the stern, but be came exhausted, fell over and was drowned. The son wished to jump over to save his father, but was prevented by those in the boat Mr. Peterson, a Swede, says the captain was the first to jump overboard. No engineer .r officer was to be found, and, consequently all discipline was at an end. Execution of an Ex-Minister Affecting Scene at the Gallows. It has been briefly stated that Preston S. Turley, formerly a minister of the Gos pel, was executed at Charleston, Kanawha county Va., on the 17th instant, for the murder of his wife. There were about 5,000 persons present at the exe cution. The Star gives the following account of the execution : The prisoner was very strenuous in the wish that his aged father and mother, and his own three little girls who had come to town the evening before, should go to the gallows and witness his execution, although it was their intention to return early in the morning. This was so far overruled by friends, that his two oldest girls, who were old enough to have the scene impressed upon them through life, remained at Mr. Kelley's. Having bid his fellow prisoners farewell, precisely at 10 o'clock, he was led out of his cell, when he kissed bis children, and took an affectionate farewell of them, exclaiming, "it is hard to bear, that I cannot have my last wish gratified," allud ng to his wish to have his children go to the gallows. At five minutes past ten he entered the omnibus, surrounded by a volunteer guard, Charleston being without any regularly organized military company. The prisoner, in passing from the jail to the Ferry, bowed to many of his former friends, and appeared to be the calmest individual in the compary. At 35 minutes past 10, the prisoner ascended the gallows with a lirm step, and took his seat, accom panied by the shcrilf and the clergy. He addressed the crowd in a short speech, in which he charged his misfortunes to the use of liquor, and said many who were there present had heard him preach, and he hoped they would take heed to this, his last sermon. He said he freely forgave all who had offended him, and he hoped the same clemency would be extended to him. He vaid he had made a confession, in which he had told all of his sins he could recollect ; some he could not recollect, as so many had been commit ted under the influence of liquor. We do not pre tend to give his precise word, but only a brief sy nopsis. He spoke about three fourths of an hour. After speaking, he requested that" Jerusalem my happy home," might be sung; he said that many present had sung it with him on more happy occa sions. He started the tune himself. While singinf, he called his aged father on the platform, threw himself upon his neck, interrupted his singing only long enough to say "Farewell," and then continued to take the lead. His mother, with his little daugh ter came forward at his request, and he shook hands with her, and he took his little one in his arms, kiss ed it, and oil without seeming to be interrupted. So, also, with a brother. They all left the ground before he fell. He alsowhile singing, shook hands with some twenty others. Among them, two of the brothers of his murdered wife. He had a smile on his face most of the time. There were but few dry eyes on the ground during this scene. When they ceased singing, he turned about and said "Sheriff I am ready to die." He then took his station upon the platform, and when the fatal rope was fixed about his neck, the fortitude of his spirit did not seem to falter, although his body quailed. A slight shudder ran through his frame. He con tinued to make appeals to the Almighty, in a fervent and excited manner. Just as the Sheriff descended the steps, be exclaimed, "Cut the rope quick, so that I may go to Jesus." He then said "Lord Jesus re ceive my spirit 1" and repeated it as far as " Lord Je " when precisely at 12 o'clock Sheriff Slack touched the spring, he dropped, and the spirit of Preston S. Turley parsed to the tribunal of an offen ded but forgiving Deity. He died with scarcely a struggle. The body was allowed to hang forty minutes, when it was taken down, put in a ntat coffin, and conveyed to his fathei's residence. He was buried on Saturday. We understand there were about 300 persons present at the funeral, and that it was a very affecting scene. Turley was 3G yeats of age. . For the Standard. Messrs. Editors : I desire through your columns to present to the consideration of the members elect ed to the popular branch of the next Legislature of the State, the claims, for the honorable post of Speaker, of Thomas Settle, Esq., of Rockingham county. I am aware that many members elect are well qualified for this office; and, in alluding to the mer its of Mr. Settle, I do not mean in the least to dis parage those of any others. I do not know that Mr. Settle's friends have ever alluded to the matter in his presence, and I am sure that he will not be looking for this communication. His name, however, has been freely used among many friends in connection with the post of Speaker, and I have yet to bear the remotest intimation of an opinion of the least unfitness, in any respect,' on the part of this rising champion of Democracy. It is well known that he presided part of the time over ' the deliberAtions of the last House of Commons with great acceptance, and in fact bis qualifications for this distinguished position are marked and peculiar. Dignified, courteous and manly in bis manners, pa tient, laborious and impartial, well versed by expe rience and careful study in parliamentary roles, apt, quick, inflexibly honest but of untiring good nature, Mr. Settle could not fail to make a useful and popu lar presiding officer in any deliberative Assembly. He has done good service in the cause of Democracy, and while he has been modest and backward in pre ferring his own claims, be has many warm friends who woud rejoice at bis elevation for the sake or the State, as well as on hie own account. - . . .. A MEMBER. For the Standard. Richmond Hilll, Sept 21st, 1858. To the Editors of the Standard: James R. Dodge, Clerk of the Supreme Court of North-Carolina at Morganton, requests the Editors or the tandara to inform their readers, some or whom may be otherwise misled by a communication of C. & M. in E. of Watauga county that the case of Dugger v. Dunn, Bard & Co. was decided in the Supreme Court at Morganton that the reason no order was issued from that Court for the collection of the costs of the Court below, was, that money supposed sufficient to pay all the costs was deposit ed in my office by the plaintiff; and upon the final disposition of the case, after retaining the costs of the Supreme Court, the whole of the balance of the money deposited was paid over to W. W. Avery, Esq., plaintiff's Attorney, his receipt specifying that he will pay the costs in the Court below. All of which has been repeatedly explained to the parties, and I believe to the Clerk and Master. I have re peatedly shown applicants Mr. -Avery's receipt, which is on my .Docket, and E. J. Erwin, Esq., will exhibit it for me. I have no doubt Mr. Avery has omitted to attend to it from forget fulness, and will put it right at once. Yours truly, JAS. R. DODGE, ClTc. S. C, M. It is not by books alone, or chiefly, that one be comes in all points a man. Study, to do faithfully every duty that comes in your way. Stand to your post; silently devour the chargrins of life; love justice; control self; swerve not from the truth or right ; be a man of rectitude, decision, concientious ness ; one that fears and obeys God, and exercises benevolence to all ; and in all this you shall posses true manliness.
