As to the matter of the speakership of the nex' Hous , Col. Armrield has uo opiuions or prelerenccs which a e not ?uject to chauge. tie rates Mr. Itm- dail as the finest parliamentarian iu the House, but as at present ad- visrd is rather fvorabie to Mr B'ack- burn, who.n he regards s a bold, able ind aggressive man. r.iis is nut a confiru.ed preferencp, however; and fu ler informal ion may briug about a chamre of miud on the pait of Col.

He is of tue opinion. toouh, tha. tne contest is between rhurman and l ildeu; that if the bard mo. icy win.; of the patty should p evail filde'i wi.l be nominated; if the soli money wiug. tneu luurma i. 1 -ie south will, Le believes, support lliurinan, the Soui i favoring a liberal currency, and Mr. Thurmau ben e squarely plant ed on that platform. Upon another point Col. Armheld speaks interestingly. He expects to see the day wheu the Democrats of the South bewill found battling for tbe maiuttuance of the rights of the ngro against the ltepublicaus of the North. He made this declaration upon his can vass last summer, and is fully persua ded of the truth of it. Col. Ainifi Id is one of the mos; de gbtlul tal iters iu the S. ate. While ail ol our people knew him well b reputa- tio i balore, many of theu who had never known him personally, met him duricg his recent stay here and were chiruied with him. Na'ura'ly his peo ple have high expectations of him now as he ia about entering upon his cons gressionl career. He is recoguized everywhere throughout the State no where more fully so than in his own district ;is not only a most courtly and engaging gentlemau but as amauot commanding abilities; and it is no more thautiuth to tay that North Carolina will not end to the forty-sixi h Congress r piesjDtative who possesses iq a l . i i i ino.e eminent, aegree inan ne ido: e jualifies which will r nder him alike i i nouor to ins otate auu a uteiui m m to his cons ituenls.
