MAJOR GENERAL of the 4th DIVISION. 1
The Public having been misled by publications
in certain Democratic papers, relative to the Elec
tion of. a Major General for 4th Division of
our Militia, we have made full inquiry into the
matter, and find the following to be the state of
facts. We have been more Immediately led to
make this inquiry, on account of a most unfair
and illiberal attack in the last " Carolma Republi
can" upon Gov. Maklt. Any one witk half an
eye can seie, in all this, a most unworthy! and pit
iful attempt, upon the part of Col. Wheeler's
friendsj to manufacture poliucal capital oiit of this
paltry matter.
During the past year,Maj. Gen. Bynum, of the
4th Division of the Militia, resigned, and in Sep
tember 1848, the Adjutant General issued his or
ders to Generals Logan, Neell and Leach, the
Brigadiers of the three Brigades composing that
Division, to talce the proper steps to have elections
held to supply the vacancy according to Rev.
Stat page 399 J which is as follows :
! When there shall occur a vacancy in the office
of major genetal, the adjutant general shall issue
orders to the brigadier generals in that division,
who shall forthwith issue orders to the colonels
of their respective regiments to call together the
commissioned officers of their regiments, at the
usual place of regimental musters, and at such
time as the brigadier general shall direct, and
the? shall proceed by ballot to electa major gen
eral of that division, and it shall be the duty of
each colonel to transmit to the brigadier general
of his btigade a fair statement of the ' votes so
polled, within ten days after said election, and the
brigadier general shall compare the votes trans
mitted to him by the colonels in his brigade,, and
shall transmit to the adjutant general a fair state
ment thereof, aud it shall be the duty of the adju
tant general to compare the statements made to
him by the brigadier genera Is, and make known
to the governor the person for whom the highest
number of votes may have been oiven; and a
commission shall be issued the governor; and
if the office of major general shall be vacated by
death or removal, it snail be the duty of the brig
adier general, in whose brigade the majr gener
al lived, to inform the adjutant general thereof,
and all resignation of major generals shall be
made to the adjutant general, and by him made
known to the governor.
Elections were ordered by these Officers to be
held in October, November and December, follow
ingCol. Jno. H. Wheeler, of Lincoln, and Col.
Sam'l Gaither, of Davidson, being candidates.
Gen Logan makes a report to the Adjutant Gen
eral on the 12th December ; Gen. Neell makes his
report on the 18th December, and therein states
that no returns had been received from the Regi
ments in the Counties of Stanly and Montgom-
n, t rv,v. make no report: and so the
...it rct ib-of GovGYxttomrijui-
ministration. .
On or about the 19th of February last, the Ad
jutant General laid before Gov. Manly, memorials
and protests from the Colonels of the Regiments
in Stanly and Montgomery, and from one of the
candidates for the office, complaining that the e-
lection m Gen. NeelTs Brigade had not been lully
and legally held ; that no order had been legally
issued by him to hold the election in these coun
ties, composing a part of his Brigade; that con
sequently, no election had been held in them ;
that the Officers in those Regiments had been
virtually disfranchised, and insisting that Gen
Neell should be required to supply his omission,
and give the Officers of those Regiments a chance
to vote not " to vote over again," . as has been
maliciously and falsely asserted, but a chance to
vote once.
It appeared that the only order issued by Gen
Neell to those Counties was a notice published in
the Charlotte newspapers. The law requires
Military orders to be sent by express, or through
the Post Office, in a special mode pointed out by
thp 40th Section of the Act of 1836. This order
not having been thus issued, and not having in
fact, in any way, come to the knowledge of the
Colonels of those Regiments, they insisted that so
far as they were concerned, they had received no
orders at all, and of course had held no elections
and Draved that thev might be allowed to do so
Upon this state of the cse, the Adjutant Gen
eral, whose duty it is to order these elections, ap
plies to Gov. Manly for advice. From these facts
it was perfectly clear to any fair mind, that, if
from any mistake of duty, accident, negligence or
fraud, these portions of the Division had been de
prived of all opportunity of participating in this
election, there ought to be a remedy of some sort.
Without some redress, Candidates for j this office
would be at the mercy and entire disposal of their
subalterns, who might order the elections in some
part of the Brigade, and suppress it in others, just
as their caprice might suggest, or as they might
wish to serve a friend,- or punish an enemy.
The Governor, after" mature reflection, and up
on examination of the MihtiaNjaw, came to the
conclusion that, as the law did not require this
election to be held throughout the Division, at the
same time, but as the different Brigadiers ordered
them to be held at different times in their respec
tive Brigades, just as they pleased) and as no
time was prescribed in which they should niak
their returns to the Adjutant , General, it was the
duty of Gen. Neel to give another and legal no
tice for an election to be held in those Counties
where none had been held, and then by "supple
ment, to amend bis return to the Adjutant Gen
eral. . , . . .
In pursuance of ihis opinion and suggestion;
the Adjutant General, on the 19th ot eDruary,
1849. issued another order to Gen. Neell. In obe-
fjpn Neell issues new notices of
election, and reports .the result. ; .4. .vr,
In the meantime. Gen. Leach', before the sec
ond return of General Neell, reports the result pf
the election in his Brigade ; and thus reports qf
aU V Brigadier Generals f the Division being be
fore the Adjutant General, and after tinie allowed
or exception, he, in pursuance of the law, com
pares the statements thus made to him, and makes
known by official report .to the , Governor that
Samuel Gaither has Received the highest number
of votes and that he is duly elected. Whereupon
the Governor issued to him his commission.
Now these being the facts of the case, on what
bundation rests the pretence that Col. Wheeler
has been treated unfairly, and that a commission
as Major General should have been issued io him ?
Where wns the evidence of his election 1 TW cef
tificate of the Adjutant General, (on whici evi
dence alone the Governor issues the commission)
was that Samuel Gaither, and not John H. Wheel
er, was;lerClirWheeec-.ndthAr.had .tie.
Adjutant General's certificate of his election,nor did
he show himself at any time entitled to it. How.
stands it 1 Genls. Logan and Neell report to thtf
Adjutant General, showing a majority of votes foi
Col, Wheeler. Can j the Adjutant General hen
make his report to the Governor ? No. Gene
ral Leach had not reported. Before Genl. Leaca
reports, Gen. Neell is ordered to amend his return;
the amended return comes in, Gen. Leach makjs
his report, and the Reports being now all in, hoiv
stands it 1 Why Col. Gaither has a majority.
Gen. Neell having Obeyed the second order of
the Adjutant General, and having reported the re
sult, how could the Adjutant General set aside
the votes so reported ? Is it right that the voters
of these Counties, without any fault or supineness
on their part should be disfrancished ? If not, what
other remedy was the right one .?
Surely, it cannot be that Col. Wheeler seeks to
take advantage of what the Lawyers call " a di
minution of the record," to seize on partial, imper
fect and illegal reports, to suppress the votes of
a part of the Division, and claim an election to
this office, not because he has fairly received a
majority of the votes of the qualified votes of the
Division, but because, under a partial voting of the
Officers, with the votes of two whole counties si
lenced, he received a plurality of votes of two
Brigades ; when, on the correction of a palpable er
ror and upon the comimr in of all the reports,
a clear and undisputed majority has been given
against him. Is Col. Wheeler striving (in the
language of the " Lincoln Republican") " that the
lawful voice of the majority shall be silenced by
finesse and trick" 1 And yet this is the attitude
that certain scribblers in the newspapers make him
assume. What would t thought of a Candidate
for Congress, who would claim to be duly elected

Fourth of July In Henderson.
Mr. Editor: Will you permit me to give,
through the medium of your excellent paper, a
brief description of the proceedings of the Fourth,
in the pleasant little Town of Henderson ? See
in in almost every paper, cheering tidings from
every portion.of the country, of the great interest
manifested by all in that memorable day, we wish
to inform them that we did not forget to assemble
together, to commemorate the deeds of the Fath
ers of our Country.
The time for the meeting was announced at 1 1
o'clock, by the ringing of the bell. A spacious
room was soon filled to overflowing, with one of
the most respectable, gen teel and orderly audiences
it has ever been our pleasure to wimess. The
young, the old, the grave and the gay, were here,
all of whom seemed to have been brought togeth
er by feelings of the most patriotic nature. The
President announced the proceedings of the day,
and introduced to the audience, P. W. Wyche,
Esq., as reader of the Declaration of Independence.
After the Declaration was read, Mr. Edwin W.
Cheatham was introduced, as Orator of the day.
Mr. Cheatham acquitted himself in a most beauti
ful and eloquent Oration, couched in the most
chaste and eloquent language. He spoke of the
past, the present, and the future ; each of which
he discussed in the most appropriate manned In
truth, his speech exhibited a high order of talent,
and was a most successful effort.
After the Oration, the audience partook of a
most sumptuons feast, which had been previous
ly prepared for the occasion. Many toasts were
drunk, hut I will not trespass on your time by gi v
intr ihom' Snffic.P it to sav. that the dav passed
off in the most agreeable manner, and will long
be remembered by all who were present on the
occasion. J

was no error m the elections in two of the Brig

Now where is the tyranny and oppression com
plained of? Who is blameable ? Not the Gov
ernor, for he merely commissions the man who is
officially certified to him to be duly elected. Not
the Adjutant General, for as he is the judge of the
election, it was his duty to see that it was fairly
held and that no injustice had been done to any.
Not Gen'l Leach, for not making his report soon
er; because, knowing as he did, that Gen'l Neell
had been ordered to hold the elections in Stanly
and Montgomery, and to amend his report, it
would be sufficient if his were in simultaneously
with the said amended return. Nor is Gen'l
Neell to be censured. ; At most he was only mis

Hon. TRUMAN SMITH.
. The " Standard" charges this Gentleman with
issuing a ecref Whig Circular, the object of
which is to prove a Coalition between the Demo
crats and i1 r?e-Soilers" ot the North, against Gen.
Taylor. How ecrcf that Circular was, may be
judged from the fact that we published it entire,
with the omission 01 a iew immaterial details, in
our paper of Saturday last at the same time that
we derived those interesting particulars relative to
Edmund Burke, which shock the " Standard's"
sensibilities so keenly.
There is no man hi this Country to whom the
great, National Whig party is more indebted,
than -to Truman Smith. He has labored for the
promotion of the cause, with a disinterested zeal,
energy, and assiduity;, that commend him most
strongly to our gratitude. That his patriotiS ser
vices have been most efficient, is amply demon
strated in the reckless abuse and shameful denun
ciation with which the Loco Foco Press assail
him The following Extract from one of his ad
mirable letters, putsi to blush the calumnious
charge of his being,ah f Abolitionist." The Ed
itor of the ' Standard" may profit by its perusal :
You cannot fail to have noticed the unprinci
pled coalition now being rapidly formed in all the
tree States between the powers of Locofocoiem
and Abolitionism, to render the Administration of
President Taylor abortive. This is exactly what
I have expected for years. Political abolitionism
ia only another form of radicalism. Nothing can
be more dangerous to the peace of the country,
or the aafety of tbe lJnioo, than the organization
of-a great party on sectional grounds. I regard
sectionalism, whether at the North or the South,
East or West, with abborence and detestation,
and we must not suffer our noble-hearted Presi
dent to be crushed by such unhallowed mean?.
Alreadv we have been deprived of three mem
bers of Congress from Connecticut by these
machinations, and he Union rejoices over' the
consummation President Taylor and hia admin
istration should have a fair trial, and it will be
time enough to discard htm when he fails to real
ize the expectations of ihef people. To elevate
htm to i the -Presidency, and then t6 hunt him
down without cause, would be a reproach to free
institutions, and to, tne American name aud cnar

Philadelphia, July 24.
The board of health report 65 new cases and 18
deaths of cholera to-dav. The disease is mostly
confined to the hospitals and ulthy parts 01 tne
city.
Pittsburg, July 24.
The cholera is fast disappearing from our city,
owing, it is supposed, in some measure, to the fa
vorable state of the weather. But one death from
that disease has taken place for the past 24 hours,
ending. at noon to-day.
Cincinnati, July 24, P. M.
I am glad to announce that that dreadful scourge,
the cholera, is fast abating, arid the gloom which
it has cast over our city, is giving place to mOre
cheerfulness. For the past 24 hours, ending at
noon to-day, there have been but 20 deaths of
cholera, and 12 from other diseases.
Just previous to the reception of the decisive
nr ws from Rome, Gen. Bedau left Paris to take
command of the army in Italy. Gen. Oudinot
had been ordered homo in dipgrace. Arrange
ments were also promptly made to increase the
army of Italy to 50,000 men. Immediately on
the reception of the news of the surrender of
Rome to Gen. Oudinot; a telegraphic despatch
was sent to Marseilles, desiring Gen. Bedau to
wait there for fresh instructions before "proceed
ing to Rome.
HUNGARY AND AUSTRIA.
An official bulletin has been issued by the
Austrian?, announcing the compulsory retirement
of the Hungarians from Raab. They are said to
have retreated towards Acs previous to the cap
ture of the city. Gen. Georgy declined to give
the Austrians battle at Raab, and was continu
ing hie retreat toward Gran, which will impose

Nevertheless, Georgy would never nave aoan-
doned Raab except With the intention of detach-
ing a portion of hia force against Pafikewieh.
A Becond edition or the Lionoon tieraia says
that a rumor prevailed in Pan, originating in
the National Assembly,' that the Hungarians had
obtained an immense advantage over the Rus
sians in the vicinity of Raab. ' The Russians are
said to have lost ten thousand men at Fiume.
A conspiracy had been discovered against the
Austrians.
A desperate battle was fought on the 2)i h ult.,
between the Prussians and the insurgents, iu the
neighborhood of Calascue and Muglenstedte, be
tween the towns of Carlseihue and Radstadt.
The insurg-enta were defeated.

Surrender of the Eternal Citv. The
Legislative Assenfbly has been the scene of
much turbulence and recrimination during the
past week. The despotic spirit which markB
the proceedings of the Government is having the
effect to unite various sections of the Assembly,
not heretofore friendly, into a compact opposition
to the Barrot Ministry, and in defence of repub
licanism. Towards the close of the sitting on
Wednesday evening, svraeu astonishment was
created' among the members by M. Granden de
claring that another movement was in prepara
tion; The statement, however, was vaguely
giveh by the Hon. member, and appeared to
have no foundation in fact, so that it soon ceased
to produce any impression.
On ihe'SUth ult., the Constituent Assembly of
Rome, rinding that further resistance to the
French Amis would be in vain, ceased hostili
ties and virtually surrendered the Eternal City
to the besiegers. On' the 15' h ult. an official
notification was made to the French Legislative
Assembly, that in consequence of the arrange
ment enLered into between Gen. Oudinoand the
Roman Triumvirate, the gates of Parol lo Portica
and Pancrazzia had been thrown open to the
French troops, who were adopting measures for
the immediate occupation of Rome, which would
take place with perfect quietness and order;

Mrs. Phillips had been Tot 37 years'a memoer of
the Methodist Episcopal Church, during which time'
she lived a sindere and consistent Christian. Sh
was kind, generous and affectionate, in all the rela
tions of life, and I can say of a truth, that t believe-"
none knew her who did not love her.- There w n?
striking evidence of this on last Sunday morning, at
her funeral, where, in a large concourse of her friends
and neighbors, so universal was the sorrow of ail
that scarcely an ey was to be 6ena not bedewed with
tears. She died as Christians ought ever to die, full
of joy at the prospect of heaven. She has now reach-;
ed that happy home, and is freed forever from all
suffering and trouble. May her afflicted children
air meet her there. .

What is to be the up-shot of all these aberrations
and oppositions ? We cn read nothing in our horo
scope, but Whig success aiid good times for the

Where are the Committees of Safety? The
Laurensville Herald states that rjy A large pack
age directed to the Posmaster, containing ont hun
dred and fifty Abolition tracts. Was received at the
Post-office," in that village, by mail, on the Sunday
proceeding.H
In view of the rapid increase of these attempts,
that print suggests that the Committee of Safety,
should take this matter in hand and act upon it. So
We have long thought and said. Let the Committees
organize some plan of prevention at least to the cir
culation of these fire-brands. Columbia Telegraph.
We occasionally receive an abolition paper, by
mail, but, believing that the best way to frustrate
the designs of the fanatics is to destroy it, we instan
tly put it in the fire, if one be convenient, and if not,
then tear it into a thousand pieces. This fuss made
in South Carolina about " Committees of Safety,"
and such things, is nuts to the abolitionists, keep
ing them alive and active, when otherwise they would
die a natural death.-r-Fay- Observer.
THE NEXT HOUSE OF REPRESENTA
TIVES. No efforts can give the Whig parly the Sen
ate at the n xt session; but we ought not to loose
the House of Representative. With the Senate
against us, we cannot indeed effect more of bene
ficial legislaiion than the opposition choose to
permit. But if we have the popular branch, we
can at least express by enlightened enactments
the doctrines of the Whig party, throwing upon
our opponents the heavy responsibility of their
rejection. General Taylor came itito the Presi
dency to carry but the will of the people as de
clared by the National RpreseiUtives. He will
do so strictly and faithfully. Unwarranted pbw
er has no charms for him, and he will not step
one inch beyond his constitutional duty. It is
therefore most important that Congress should
not misrepresent, especially in its popular branch,
I Chat triumphant majority of the r people which
pta-ced the Administration in power. I here is
no necessity for allowing a preponderance of Lo
coebfocb members to be returned to that body.
VVe look to our friends, in those States where
elections are Still to be held, for more than ordi
nary enercv. unin.J and prudence. The loss of
one or two members, may turn the Scale. Let
nersoual dislikes, if they exist; be forgotten. It
is a' tirnb wben all Whigs should .think only of
