RALEIGH, SATURDAY, OCT. 16, 1858.
HOLDEN & WILSON, State Printers,
AND
CTHORIZBD PUBLISHERS OF THE LAWS OF THE UNITED STATES.
The Opposition North and South.
The ultra Know Nothings and old Federalists of
the South and the blark Republicans of the North,
differing radically as they do on the question of
s'avery, are still a unit in their opposition to the ad
t; inisttation of James Burlunan. In one section the
charge is that Mr. Buchanan has sold himself, body
and soul," to the slaveholding States; and in' the
other section, while the fact that this charge is made
is studiously withheld, the administration is assailed
on different grounds, and every effort is made to
render it unpopular. In proof of this we nfer our
readers to the opposition papers of the two sections.
Read, for example, the bitter and uncharitable slric- I
. r t..i. :u t.: .1 i : !
tures of the Raleigh Register on the administration,
and then read the following from the New York
Courier and Enquirer:
" To day comes the verdict of four Southern States.
South Carolina, Missis.ippi, Georgia and Florida are
to say whether or not they are satisfied with the
service of the Buchanan Administration. Everybody
knows what that finding will be. The day's sun
will not more surely set than these States will give
for Btichanan their unqualified approbation for his
compliance with their demands; and none will be
more emphatic in their approval than the same South
Carolina which ued-to make a regular business ol
threatening and hectoring. The servility of Mr.
Buchanan has been abject enough and officious
enough to satisfy the most extreme arrogance. He
has sold himself, bod' and soul, to the work ot mak
ing Kansas a slave State; and, though he has failed,
yet the spirit of the man is appreciated, and there
is other work yet to be undertaken. His conduct
will be approved, and every member of Congress
elected, without an exception, will be on the side of
his Administration."
True, the Register and the other ultra Know Noth
ing papers do not, in so many words, approve this
view of the subject thus taken by the Courier and
Enquirer: yet they unite with that journal and
other black Republican journals in the effort which
is making to break down the administration. It is
nothing to them that Mr. Buchanan is held up as the
servile instrument of the slaveholding States ; they
assail him as vehemently and misrepresent him as
unsparingly ps if he were an enemy to their section,
instead of a friend, as all his acts and as these de- !
nunciations of those black Republican journals prove
him to be.
Again, what has been the course of the Know
Nothings of the free States ? In all their recent con
claves they have adopted as strong resolves against
the South as the black Republicans have adopted,
and, as a generul thing, they have coalesced with the
latter and will aid them at the polls. What then?
If the national Democracy should be defeated in
1860, or if it should lose the next House of Repre
sentatives, what party will be the victor ? Not the
Know Nothings of the South, for they are in a hope
less minority. They have been forced to dissolve
their public connection with the opposition in the
free States, and the3' have no voice in shaping plat
forms, as they would have none in determining what
should be the action of the government in the event
of the triumph of their allies. It follows, then, that
the defeat of the Democracy would be the triumph
of a sectional party, of the black Republicans. Will
any portion of the Southern people contribute to this
result? E ery blow dealt upon the administration
of Mr. Buchanan by Southern men, from whatever
motive or however intended, is calculated to strength
en and does strengthen our implacable enemies, the
black Republicans.
JiDOES by tde Peofle The longer we live and
the more we sec of the administration of public jus
tice, the more firmly are we fixed in the opinion that
Judges ought to bs elected by the people for a term
of years. Life offices are repugnant to tbe funda
mental principles of free government. This is a
Democratic Republican State; The Legislative pow
er, which makes the laws, and the Executive power
which puts them in force, are dependant on the peo
ple; and so ought the Judicial power to be, which
interprets and expounds the laws. Truth is truth,
affect whom and what it may. Let the people be
true to themselves, let them take their own power
into their own hands. They arc honest, and they
always mean to do right. Under the present system
their lives and their property are in the keeping of
persons who hold office for life, who are above them,
and who are not responsible to them or to their re
presentatives for the manner in which they discharge
their duties.
"If we are denied the privilege of going to Heav
en after death, our next and last request is, that we
may be allowed to go to Baltimore." Parson Brown
low. A cotemporary well remarks that Baltimore is a
fitting place of abode for those spirits against whom
the gates of Heaven have been closed. Of course
we shall know where to look for Brownlow after he
"shuffles off this mortal coil."
Foote, Forney and the Register.
The Register's chief stock in trade seems for the
present to have been drawn from renegades from the
Democratic party. It has no Arguments of Us own
to advance against the administration of Mr. Bu
chanan, and so it is compelled to resort to such cast
aways as Forney and Foote. It publishes column
after column of Forney's twaddle and personal spite
against Mr. Buchanan, and seeks to dignify this spe
cies of partizan warfare by calling on the Democratic
press to disprove what Forney says. Disprove it,
indeed. Why, the charges themselves, carry their
own refutation with them. It is incredible, in the
first place, that James Buchanan should have held
the language which Forney attributes to him ; and
in the second place, no public man is worthy of con
sideration or credit who retails private conversa-
.
lions,
time when he confederated with the black Republi-
cans, and commenced his passionate, uncharitable,
and ungrateful assaults on Mr. Buchanan and the
Democratic party, no epithet which the Register
could a-pply to him was considered too cevere. But
now, when he is assailing a Democratic administra
tion, and when every blow of his, if it is felt at all,
will be felt by the South of which that administra
tion is the friend, he is a persecuted patriot, and
Know Nothing sympathy and Know Nothing affec
tion are lavished upon him. The Register and its
coadjutors act upon the motto, any thing and any
body to injure and prostrate the Democratic party.
Opposition to Democracy is the main plank in their
platform, opposition without a why or a wherefore,
and to the last extremity. To that complexion has
it come at last with the once proud and powerful
Whig party.
Pennsylvania voted on Tuesday last for members
cf Congress and a portion of her State officers. We
have not heard the result, but it is probable that !
T7i ,, . , i r , , . ry '
rornev s treason has weakened the Democracy in
that State. If they have lost, black Republicanism
hos gained, and gained through Forney, who is en
dorsed and commended by the Raleigh Register.
We know that our respected cotemporary would be
shocked if he were to sec the result in this light ;
but so it is, and no sophistry or special pleading can
ciane ;t
One of the Lost on the Austria.
We copy the following touching paragraphs from
the last Newbern Daily Progress. While at Beau
fort in August last we visited the cemetery in that
place, and were shown the grave of Capt. Wulf.
Turning to a New York paper of September 27, we
find among the names of the lost that cf " Jli&a
i llelcne Wulf, Copenhagen." She was one of the
I cabin passengers. The Progress has done justice
: to her sisterly affection and to her amiable and love
ly character
"Oxe of the Passengers Lost ox the Austria.
Some of our citizens will recollect that three or four
years ago, a Danish officer of high rank, accompani
ed by his sister, a young, lovolv and most amiable
lady, were on a visit to Beaufort. The officer was
in bad health, and was traveling in quest of some I
climate that would restare a shittcred constitution, j
and the sister whose affection for her brother over- i
came all the fascinations and allurements of the most
refined society of Europe, accompanied him to cheer
him in his despondency and to administer to him in
his afflictions.
At Beaufort he sickened and died, and left her his
guardian angel on earth, alone, far from home, friends
and kindred. After seeing his remains deposited in
the earth, and after sprinkling the fresh mound
over his last resting place, with the tears of sisterly
affection, she left for her home in Denmark. After
her arrival home she sent a beautiful monument with
instructions to have it placed above the brother's
grave at Beaufort, which instructions were carried
out, and we arc told ihat it now stands over the
earthly remains of the stranger's grave, one of the
nanasomesi monuments in me state, wun mis in
scription :
"sacked to tub blessed memory of christian
Wt'LF.
What noble attributes must have characterized that
pure being, who, while her brother lived, devoted
herself entirely to him, and who after his death, ex
hibited such holy veneration for his memory.
Since her return to Europe she has held, we
learn, frequent correspondence with parties in
j Beaufort, and that she was only awaiting the com
pletion of the Atlantic and North Carolina Railroad
that she might visit this country for the purpose of
again bedewing a brother's grave with tears of affec
tion. She had been apprised, we suppose, of the
completion of the Road, and took passage in the j
Austria, the ill-fated Austria, the very whisper of
whose name causes thousands of hearts to bleed.
The sequel is told in the fatal sentence : She was
not among the saved ! How much of purity, of self
denying Christian resignation and God-like attrib
utes perished in the awful and horrid death of Hele
na Wilf! perished for time and the things of
earth, but they shall live with her while with a
dazzling crown of light she adorns the society of the
celiestial spreres through the countless ages of Eter
nity 1"
Overland Mail from California.
The first Overland Mail from. California arrived at
St. Louis at 9 o'clock on Salorday night, having left
San Francisco on the 16th of September. The news
is, consequently, ten days later than was received
by way of Panama. The trip occupied but a little
over twenty-three days, and six passengers came
through by the stages. A large number of promi
nent citizens of JSC Louis assembled at the depot on
the arrival of the mail, and Mr. Buttei field, the Pre
sident of the Overland Mail Company, was greeted
with a hearty welcome. A long procession accom
panied the mails to the Post Office.
President Buchanan telegraphed to Mr. Butter
field, congratulating him on his success as a great
event for " civilization and the Union."
New York. The New York Democracy are san
guine of the election of Amasa J. Parker, their can
didate for Governor. Morgan is the black Repub
lican candidate, and Thurlow Weed's candidate.
Weed, it will be remembered, signalized himself
many years ago as " anti-Mason." It is now said of
Thurlow that his career began with a Morgan and
will end with a Morgan. t:
Mr. Weed's bet of $1,000 that Morgan will be
elected the winner to give the money to the State
Inebriate Hospital has been taken by the editor of
the Utica ' Telegraph. An ill-natured country edi-.
tor remarks that Weed never does anything without
a personal object in, view, and that the reason he
proposed the winner should give the money to the
Institution in question, was that he expected some
day to become an inmate of it.
fdiF" Capt. Chas. II. Thompson has made as a
present of a fine gold pen of the "Dumas" patent,
Paris, which writes capitally. W have been look
ing for pens for months which wou'd sustain tbe
rapid and heavy hand which we put on paper, and
we find this the best one we have tried. VYe never
could follow the advice of the old copy " bear light
your pen," though our hand is as steady as that of
the next citizen of forty, come the frosts of next
November. Mr. Thompson has just received his
fall stock of watches and jewelry, together with
many beautiful articles which we have no doubt he
would be pleased to show to his customers. Give
him a call.
f-?y The Washington correspondent of the New
York Time says, "Senator Brown, of Mississippi,
left here this afternoon for New York. He declares
his entire confidence in the success of Judge
Douglas." Senator Brown is a disunionist. He
professes to be a Democrat, yet he is disposed to do
injustice to James Buchanan. He says the Presi
dent is "weak in the back." .The expression is
more elegant than true. Mr. Buchanan is one of
the best friends the South has ever had. His posi
tion on the slaver' question is as sound as that of
Mr. Calhoun, and we would trust him as fully ai.d
as far with the Constitutional rights of the South ns
we would any man. What has disgruntled Senator
Brown? Mississippi is a Democratic State, and her
Democracy will deal with him in due time.
A New Grape. Mr. William II. Mien, of Beau
fort Co., N C. has sent us some bunches of Grapes
from a vine, the like of which is not known in this
country. It is a large black grape, and resembles
the Muscadine in its flavor. It is quite sweet, and I
has a tough skin. It is a native of Beaufort county,
and is called the Mih grape. We understand that
Mr. Longworth, of Ohio, has examined and tasted
this grape, and speaks of it in the highest terms.

that nearly every prominent Agricultural Society

A letter from Fort Belknap, Texas, 819 miles
from St. Louis, gives the follow ing table of distances
from St. Louis to San Francisco, the route of the
Overland Mail, which has just arrived :
Although the announcement of the arrival of the
overland mail has been first made from St. Louis,
there is little reason to doubt that it also arrived at
Memphis, Tenn., about the same time, for (as many
are aware) a bifurcated route was adopted; that i,
the mail wagons start at the same time from St.
Louis, Mo., and from Memphis, Tcnn., meeting at a
point on the Atkansas river, in Arkansas, known ns
Fort Smith ; thence there is but a single line, that
which goes by the 32d degree of latitude, passing

TnE Cotton Chop. The planters generally agree
that the Cotton is turning out much belter than
they anticipated a month ago. The weather for
picking has been fine for the last two or three
weeks, and if it should continue so for a few weeks
longer the greater portion of the crop will be housed.
We learn the quality of the Cotton is unusually
good. We are of the opinion that the crop in this
section will exceed the crop of last year by at least
one fifth. Pulatki (Ga.) Times.
The weather for the past week has been unusual
ly warm for the season, and dry.
The cotton crop in our district must be short.
Even a very late fall cannot materially add to the
amount of cotton, for the severe drought which set
in about the middle of July put an end to the con
tinued production of bolls. Provision crops fire
generally good, though corn planted late in the sea
son is almost an utter failure. Clarendon S. 67)
Banner.
Cotton is opening beautifully, and although the
crop may be light, still the up'and cotton will be
prettier and fairer than has been gathered for many
years. We understand from several farmers that
the corn is " turning out" much better than was an
ticipated. We have had a beautiful season thus far
for the harvesting. No doubt but that there will be
sufficient made to meet all demands. Pendleton (&
C. ) Messenger. '
Macon, Ga., October 9. For a week past the re
ceipts of Cotton in this market have been very
heavy. On yesterday, some 1800 bales were receiv
er. The market is consequently very active, so far
as receipts and shipments are concerned, though the
sales do not correspond thereto. Prices range from
10 to 11; a choice lot would command 11. Tbe
crop of the country is now estimated at 3,500,000

Crops. We learn, sayR the Benton (Ga.) Herald
from a gentleman who is an experienced and skilful
planter, residing near Benton, that he has already
got out more cotton than his whole crop, either of
last year, or the year before, amounted to, and that
his provision crop will be abundant. We have
' heard no complaints from farmers in this section,
and there is no fear of starvation here next year.
Cotton. Last week there were aboutl050 bales
Cotton sold in this market. On Thursday there
were 801 bales sold, prices ranging from 12 to
12.15. On Saturday prices declined to 11.85, in
consequence of unfavorable advices from Charleston.

TO THE FAMILIES OF RALEIGH.
Mr. John R. Brooks, of this City, who has been
acting as Colporteur in towns, and on Railroads in
the Eastern part of North Carolina, is now Visiting
every family in Raleigh under my employ as Gener
al Agent of the American Tract Society. Mr. Brooks
is doing thin good work for us through the benevo
lence of a few ladies that support him by a donation
of $150. The object is to supply every family with
the excellent publications of the Society at cost,
where there is ability and willingness to buy, and by
grant to others. He will hold religious exercises of
reading the Scriptures and prayers wherever prud
ent. He will carry some new and valuable books:
" Life of Mary Lyon," 37G pages, 50 cts ; " Sketches
from Life," 542 pages, CO cts ; and others easy,
beautiful and good for children. One book, "Per
suasions to early piety," sold by Mr. Brooks to a
promising young man in Washington, was the in
strument of his conversion, and also his sister; and
the young man is now thinking to be a missionarj
We bespeak for Mr. Brooks a kind reception at every
house, and that these books and tracts, free of sec
tarianism, be obtained and read by all. Those who
may not want to get for themselves, can buy to give
to their poor neijthbois, by which they may do last
ing good to their souls as well as their bodies. The
great Daniel Webster uttered a noble truth when he
siil, that ' nothing could be more promotive of the
happiness and unit n of our country than the circu
lation of religious evangelical publications." "Righte
ousness eaheth a nation." .

a gentleman whose experience in the affairs of legis

best interests of the State and whose unwavering
fidelity to Democratic prim iples, commend him
warmly to the favor of the Democratic party. I
should be much gratified to sec this venerable gen

THE UNIVERSITY.
Chapel Hill, Oct 14, 185S.
Messks. Editoks : The publication in your last
paper of the proceedings of the Board of Trustees
in expelling Mr. Land, in connection with the exag
gerated rumors of the extent of the outrage, may
possibly lead to the misapprehension abroad of the
condition of things here, and thus do injustice to a
large majority of the students. It is well known
here that only a small -number of persons were en
gaged in the disturbance, and that it met with tho
decided disapprobation of the great body of their
fellow students has been clearly manifested by what
has been understood to have been since done by the
two Literary Societies. The act of the Board of
Trustees wa eminently proper, and will, no doubt,
be approved by public sentiment. The impression
here is that there will be no necessity for a similar
act of discipline fur a long time to come.

State Elkctioxs. Elections were held yesterday,
October 12lh, in the three great States of Pennsyl
vania, Ohio and Indiana, for members of Congress,
besides several State and local officers. No Govern
or, however, wa"s to be elected in either. In Penn
sylvania, there has been a "fusion" of all parties
opposed to the Democrats on the State ticket, and a
similar union for Congress, except in three of the
Philadelphia districts, where the Democrats, Ameri
cms and Republicans, each run candidates. In the
ft; t (Florence's) district there are two candidates.
This is the case also in the eleventh district. The
majority in the State for Buchanan, over Freemonl
and Fillmore, in 1850, was only 1,025. The Demo
cratic majority fur Canal Commissioner, same -ear
was 2,751, while for Governor, last year, the major
ity was seve a! thousand larger.
In Ohio an 1 Indiai a the Republicans and Demo
crats have regular nominated State tickets, but in
the firmer there is a pretty general "fusion" on
Congressmen. In 1856 the vote of Ohio stood Fre
mont 187,497; Buchanan 170.847; Fillmore 28,126.
Indiana voted 118,670 for Buchanan; 94,375 for

Mi'iiDEUEK Akkksted. Jonas Brantley and Carson
Pucket w-re arrested in this city on Monday morn
imx last by Sherilf High. Brantley is the man who
killed a man named Perry in an ail'ray at an election
precinct in Nash county, on the 5th of August last,
an account of which was published in the Register
at the time, and who has eluded all efforts to arrest
him until the present time.
It is not known that Pucket has been guilty of
any misdemeanor, but he was in company with
Brantley at the time of his arrest, and failing to give
a satisfactory account of himself, was committed
until an investigation could be Lad. Both he and
Brantley were armed wi'h double barrelled guns and
rifles, and were on their way, when arrested, to the
Central Depot, where they intended taking the cars,
but for what place we did not learn. Register.
Freights. Just as we are going to press, the
merchant who furnished us some weeks ago with a
statement about the amount of freight paid on Ba
con between this place and New York, via Newbern
and via Charleston, informs us that he has found
out through the Agent of the N. C. Road, that he
paid a portion of the bill twice ($17 GO), which re
duces the difference against the Newbern route, to
$8 70. It appears that a portion of the bill was col
lected by two difierents agents. We make this state
ment with pleasure, as we have not the least desire
to affect, in an. injurious manner, the transportation
business on the Newbern route ; and we feel certain
that none of our merchants have such a disposition,
for they have recently been disposed to give that
route a trial. We hope some one will yet be able to
explain the $3 70 difference still remaining. Char.

The laboring man suffers most from a shinplaster

General Cass and the Xicaragua Minister.
Washington, Oct 12. Gen. Lewis Cass having
recovered from his recent illness, was at bis post to
day in the State Department, where he was to have
had an interview with Jerrcz by appointment ; but
the latter sent an apology for not fulfilling his en
gagement. One of the conditionns an which he was received
as a special Minister from Nicaragua was, that he
bhouM deliver the original Cass-Ysarri Treaty. This
stipuV.ion he has denied to various gentlemen, but
the State department is in possession ol the names
of those whom he made the declaration. - If he
much longer delays to comply with this condition,
he will be dismissed. The general impression here
is, that some foreign influuence is at work in that
quarter.
