He says he is for "resistance" oo account of what has been done in other words' for a dissolution of the Union; bu t believing the people of the State to be against him, he fee la constrained, from a sense of respect to. their opinions, to abandon the contest In our paper ef the 2$rd July last, in noticing the position of Governor Quitman, we said: ' Gen. Quitman stands upon the platform of the Constitution, and is for the Union according to . that instrument. He acquiesces in the so-called compro mise for the sake of the .Union, but he protests at the same time agaiust portions of that compromise as un just to the South,'? . - We judged this to le Gen.

"Previous to. the Democratic State Convention at Syracuse. Mr. Nafew, of this city, Hunker De mocrat, wagered a hat.wiih Mr. Davis, also of this city. Whig,, that the convention would en dorse the Compromise measures. After it had ..adopted., its, platform, and, adjourned, , Mr,- Davis claimed the hat oa the ground that trie resolutions did not approve or endorse the Compromise mea sure. Mr. Naiew claimed that they did. and thus a dispute arose, and it was mutually agreed to leave it to Peter. Cadger, Esq., chairman of the Democratic Stale Committee, and George Daw Son, Eq., of the Evening Journal, good and competent men, to decide (he question. The ar bitrators thus chosen have decided that the Dem ocratic resolutions, adopted recently at the Syra cuse Convention, do not approve or endorse the Compromise measures of the last Congress, and accordingly awarded the bat to Mr. Davis." How does our neighbor propose to get out of this difficulty '? p THE ELECTION OF BISHOP CREIGH TON. In the New York Episcopal Covention, when the election of Bishop Creighton was announced, there was great joy over the result, and an anima ting scene eneu.ed. The organ pealed forth a loud and jubilant voluntary, the Cob ventionvall the audience joining, sang "Te Denm" and "Gloria in Excelsis,' and the Bishjp elect thus feelingly addressed the body; Brethren aud Friends: You have elected me to the highest honor, in my estimation, to which any man can be raised. You have" chosen me to the office of a Bishop in the church of God; a station 10 which these is none superior in respectability. influence, usejuirres3,argmiy , saocuiy solemn and awful responsibility. ; For the lavorable opinion, the kind feeling -thus expressed, I thank you; with mv wh6le heart I thank you !

Seatoit Gales, Esq., - , Jlfjf Dear Sir : I need hardly assure you of the great eagerness with which 1 greet the semi weekly arrival of the "RegUter." I first look st the "Obituary" head, to see if any more of our! dear friends are taken from us; then see what isH doing in the way of Internal Improvement ; next- kindle with you in your zeal for our glorious Uo ion ; and finally run over all the advertisements- except the quack medicines. This will show you how dear the Uld Worth btate is stilf to all our hearts. May God's best blessing be ever upon her honest old head ! And now,' more than ever, since she has once more proved herself, in despite oi tuo ianniessness oi some oi nor sons, true to the principles of Washington and the Coosti tution. ' The issue of the late election In this. State will doubtless be an agreeable surprise to you. It f was surprise ttf "ifeatlrai5f ihe fotersfrliem- selves of both parties. About three weeks before the election, a leading Whig and Union man at Jackson told me that the Convention would be composed of a decided majority of Disunionbts. I hope that the voice of the people, so nnmlstak ingly made known, will for a long lime bush the clamor of Disunion. A horrible murder was committed not far from us a few days since, which, on account of the ex cellent character of the sufferer, has excited our community no little. About 40 miles from Natchez, in Claiborne Lounty, tticre is an excellent Institution called Oakland College, under the care of the Presby tenuns. bver since its foundation it has been under the control of a most worthy Clergyman of that denomination, Rev. Jeremiah Chamberlain, D. D-, a man beloved and esteemed by all who knew him for his humble, unoffending disposition, as well as for his faithfulness and zeal in the cause of education. Just after the late election, it was asserted by some one, among a knot of politicians in a neighboring town, that Dr. C. had said that a Disunioaist was no better than an Infidel. A frienu of the Dr sianding near, denied positively that he had said anv such thing, and told tbe in dividual, George A. Briscoe, making the assertion, that it he was not satisfied with his denial, to call at the Doctor's gate as he passed the College, and get it from his own lips. Briscoe accordingly drove np to the Doctor's gate and called him out. The Doctor denied having used the alleged ex presMon or any thing like it. B. called him a liar. The Doctor mildly replied, ''That remains to be proved. Whereupon Briscoe struck bun twice with a loaded whip, breaking his jaw-bone, and fracturing his skull in two places. After the Doctor had fallen, B. then stabbed him three times with a Bowie knife,-deliberately .wiped his knite vith his handkerchief, and drove off to his home some four miles distant. -The scene was wit nessed by the Doctor's family, the gate being but a few steps from the house. His daughter -ran across the yard to get help from the College, but was. too late. - When the Doctor's son in-law reached him, the work was done, and -the mur derer . had driven off. The victim had barely strength, supported by the arm of his sou in-law, to reach his own door, when he : fell and expired. Thiw has fallen by the hand of violence one of the best of men; the Founder and President of a Col lege, a Scholar, a Christian, and a Preacher of the Gospel. Never was a community more or more justly excited than when it was hoard that the good Dr. Chamberlain bad been murdered. His unhappy murderer was immediately sought for. but could no. where be found. And it was well, for the credit of humanity and of a neighborhood remarkable for its sober and pious character, that he kept beyond their reach. For aueli was. their exasperation that a "slow fire'' would hardly have been deemed by them a sufficient recompense for so enormous and unprovoked an onence. Ibe tragic tale is ended by stating thai the wretched man was found two days after tbe deed, in a dy ing state, on a remote and secluded spot, about three mites distant from his residence..? An empty vial at his side proclaimed that bis own hand had burned bis soul to its great account ...-,, . . No other cause than that above stated is sup Ksed to have led to this fatal tragedy,., unless it that Dr. Chamberlain attempted at the last Commencement of Oakland College to prevent one of the graduating class from delivering a speech in favor of Disoniou. This very wise - and just endeavor to exclude exciting political topics from the College Rostrum excited a strong feeling of dislike to mo uocior on the part pi some or me less wise and judicious of the hearers, and is sup posed have had its influence in bringing about this mourniut catastrophe. 7 - .

" JVvrfoik-Jijrgu. Millard Fillmore. Every day, says the Richmpnd Republican, shows that Mr. Fillmore's popularity is Widening and deepening It has not been a popularity of rapid growth, but . it has sprung from the knowledge of his character wh ch is derived from its action, and bids fair to take deep hold and be of permanent endurance! .The popularity of Mr. Fillmore ia the best kind of pop ularity, because it has been woo by moral cour age, and by refusing to seek populariiy, at the ex pense ot principle, as well a by exalted ;atatea manlike qualities. Every Whig in favor of Mr. Fillmore or some other candidate for the presiden cy wili at least concede that he- dtscmes lo. be President. No man need deserve a higher tribute He deserves U by his pare, calm, wise, pairoticad m,icistration oJ government ia the mort critical pet. riod of ' its history. He deserves it because he has proved by his acts that the zovernment can be safely entrusted la his bands.

Funny and free are the bachelor's reveries, Chernly, merrily, passes bis life, Nothing knows be of connub-al deviltries, Troublesome children and clamorous wife; Free from satiety, care and anxiety. Charms, in variety, fall to his share ; Bacchus' blisses, and Venus' kisses, Tiis, boys, this is the bachelor's fare ! ' A wife, like a canister, chattering clattering Tied to a dog for his torment and dread, All bespattering, bumbing and battering. Hurries him, worries him, till he is dead. Obi ones are two devils, haunted with blue devils Young ones are new devils, raising despair ; Doctors and nurses, combining their curses, Adieu to full purses and bachelor's fare. Through such folly, days, onee sweet holidays, Soon are embittered by wrangling and .strife, Wives turn jolly days to melancbo'y days, All perplexing and vexing one's life ; Children are riotous, maid servants fly at us, Mamma, to quiet us, growls like a bear, ' And Dolly is bawling, and Polly is squalling While.Dad is recalling his bachelor's fare. Whea they older grow, they also balder grow, Turuiag your temper, and spurning your rule. The girls, thro' foolishness, passion or Bullishness, 1'arry iyour wishes and marry a tool; ' Boys rill anticipate, lavish and dissipate All that your busy pate hoarded -with care ; . Then tell me what jolhty, fun or frivolity, Equals in quality, bachelor's fare I Raleigh, September 30th, 1851. We believe it is a German poet, who, walking ,; st ent and thoughtful by tbe solemn Shore of the vast ocean we must sail so soon," uroa speaks of THE SHIP OF DEATH. :By tbe shore of Time new lying On tbe inky flood bebeath, Patiently, thou soul undying, Waits for thee the Ship of Death!. .
