To the Editor of the North Carolina Standard : My attention has recently been exiled to a para graph in the Fayetteville Observer of the 2lst of January last, which' I beg to notice through the columns of your paper. Sometime during the last winter, the Washing ton Republic published a gross perversion of the character and contents of a Liter of mine addres sed to Gen. Saunders, accompanied by an evasive denial of one of itsstatemerits. Nearly the whole whiz press in I his State, without having the jus- lice or manliness to publish the letter itelf, pub- lished this false version o! it, accompanied oy comments of their own. Foremost in zeal,-at least, was the Raleigh Register. The puerile and vulgar abuse of that free soU journal is beneath mynotice. But the Fayetteville Observer, in publishing the article from the Republic in refer ence to uiy letter, employs the foil wing langu age: "The Raleigh Register says that Mr. Rencher held very different la nguage in Washington City when on his return from Bowon." In the numbers of the Register which have come under my view since my return to the Stale , 1 find no such assertion ; but personal respect for the Editor of the Observer makes me unwilling to believe that he would give circulation to such a falsehood without having some clenr authority or doing so ; and I therefore prouounce the as sertion, wherever it comes from of by whomsoever authorized, as total y and absolutely false. While I Aterialn the most profound respect for the in telligence and personal worth of the President and his Cabinet, I hold and have always held in utter condemnation as wtil the hi&h toned feder al principles which have thus far marked his ad ministration, as the tardy and inefficient measures which were adopted by it to secure the execution of the fugitive-slave law. The sentiments and opinions expressed in my letter to Gen. Saunders are those I held and ex pressed at Washington aad elsewhere then and now. Subsequent events have verified and con firmed them almost totthe very letter; while the fatal error t the administration in hating r-lied too impl citlv upon theJocal authorities of Boston . for the execution of the fygiUve-elave law, result ed in scenes which overwhelmed them, brought disgrace upon the country, and put in still greater jeopardy a law so vital to the interests of the South, and to the Union of the States li would be considered unkind and ungenerous in roe to review the former errors of the administration, or to point to their melancholy results. The Presi dent has since seen and confessed his errors, and adooted more vigorous measures ; but unfortun atelv fortue country, his policv was not changed ttniiZ tlicre was only otte olh-r allernatice left him, and not until after th tuiiit ofditwderandfana iicism Iiad grown ttrong-r and more formidable by tucctsa. With great respect Your ob't servant, ' A. RENCHER The reader will thus be reminded that some time durinw th last winter the Mbx Charge visi ted Boston, for the purpose of capturing a fugitive lave. He failed to get his property, and no better reason need be given, than that he fled to Canada! On his return home the 'Ex-Charge' addressed a long letter to Gen. Saunders, then a member of thai Legislature, in which he indulged in very un just strictures on the Administration of Mr. Filt- tnojre for its course, in reference to the execution of the Fugitive Law. The letter was read by Gen. S. during the delivery 6f a speech in the Hcjuse of Commons, and for its illiberal tone and gliring misrepresentations, the writer was taken to task bv the Washington ReDublia. and his charges against the Administration most success fujiv refuted. We took occasion, ourselves, to ijeak out, as became all independent press, in re -Utjion to the statemeLts and charges contained is this letter, which were ca'culated, and no doubt ' intended, to prejudice Mr. Fillmore and his Cabi nelin the estimation of Southern men We did y, in substance, and we said it tootipon the very best authority, that the writer held very different entiments whilst in Washington City, returning home, from thore expressed in his letter, or he was not manly enough to speak out, when the whole action of the Cabinet to enforce the; law m eandidly and in good laith communicated to him! He was told wliat ground the President had assumed in regard to the extcution of 'the Fugitive law what directions had been given the Federal Officers that the Marshall of Massa chusetts had been instructed, that in case otthe refusal of the jails of that State for the confine ment of the fugitives, the Act of Congress of 1820 made it his duty to hire a suitable place for a pri- 1 1? draw on the Treasury for the expenses on anu . , . . . , x . . "f , -r."8sly instructed to act in ac ' w,r - , ,nJ -hould any difficulties cordaoee with that law,. "u ' . v . nme'ately to the be presented, to report thenTu- J -t aid Department, and it would give him romP- fur that it was the purpose of the Executive J11"' fully to execute the law. He was also told, that the Commandant. at the Navy Yard at Philadel phia, in answer to inquiries by him as to the ex tent of his duties in aiding the civil authority, had been informed tliat should it become necessary ?or the execution of the law, the marines of the yard should be ordered out for the assistance of the civil officers. He was also informed, that . though the authority to issue this order might be doubted by some, yet the matter had been ma turely considered, and it had been concluded such authority clearly existed. He was moreover told that it was the settled determination of the Pre sWeiit to execute the law in good faith even though voiume.Llll, it ahotfltT become necessary to appeal to theoWHtj m of - the. military. He well knew that these were the principles of action which had governed, and he was told they would eontinoe to govern, the Administration. He listened to all this and in reply made no complaint, uttered not a murmur, against the action and purposes of the Govern ment 1 The only person who came under his dis satisfcetion and displeasure urw the lawyer he had emplojied in Boston, ! Yet he returned home, and, like tlio retreating Parthian, sent back his poisoned arrows at those whom heat least declined to meet face to tace, with the charges and imputations contained in bis letter ! Why did he not beard . the Administra tion whilst he was in Washington Why did he leave the impression on the minds of those J with' whom he conversed confidentially, that he had. no cause of complaint against the President and hit Cabinet! Why did he root speak out like aman, when the wholeaftioji of the Cabiqet, and especially of that member of it, who had con trol ol the instructions ofjhe Marsll,adbeen fully and freely communicated toKim? This was the conduct which we rebuked, in all of which the "Ex-Charge" showed that he entertained and acted upon, if he did not express, very .different sentiments from those contained in his letter to Gen. S. What we did say was said in January last, and lo ! after a sound slumber of nearly twelve months, the "Ex-Charge" wakes up, and finding every body around him commending the firmness and patriotism of President Fillmore, like old Van Win kle, he is reminded of how things were, when he went to sleep, and he takes up his discourse just where he left off, and shouts lustily for w King George and the Ministry." It is indeed something resembling a voice from tie tomb of a ."questionable shape, like Unto a ghost; but yet we will venture to speak to it ? In reply to the charge that the 'Register is 'a free soil Journal,' we beg !eave to say to the Ex-Charge,' in his own chaste language, he ut ters that which "is totally and absolutely false," and we might add, if tie had not been asleep for nearly twelve months, that he knows it to be false ! This Journal, and the patriotic men of North Car olina whose principles it advocates and by om it is sustained, are as free from the contamination offrte-toiKsm as they are from the abominable leresies of nulVficatvm and secestion! They view all such doctrmee as dangerous to trie peace, prosperity and Union of the country. and against all such, this Journal will continue to fight, hether assailed by hacked and broken down politicians, who have sunk to rise no more, or by those who are still swimming on the tide of sue- cess. It, at least, areaas not tne impotent ravings of one, who, under the pressure of a little Foreign gas, "went up like a rocket, and c;.me down like slick!" But the "Ex-Charge" professes to a entertain the most profound respect for the intelligence and personal worth of the President and his Cabinet,'' eUaowgb be wouki have the, public believe . that they have most grossly neglected their duty to the country and violated their oaths, by the" manner in which they executed the Fugitive Law! From the moment that the President approved that law, up to this hour, be has been assailed with bitterness unexampled by the Abolitionists of the North, yet the 'Ex-Charge,' through the mepns ot his very keen optics, has been able to perceive much which deserves censure from Southern men ! lit has discovered thai his "measures have been tardy and inefficient," wh 1st hundreds and thousands of his most embittered political oppo nents at the South have magnanimously proclaim ed that ' in this respect" they have had no cause to complain, and that he has done his duty manfully! The "Ex Charge" had better take a fresh draught from Van Winkle's "flagon," and, perhaps, when he wakes up from another slumber, he will be a- ble to reveal a few more "strange things!" And, indeed, the principles of Mr. Fillmore's ad ministration are" too high toned and federal ' for the taste of the "Ex Charge ?" So we suppose any battered and bruised Nullifies would say ! So he' would have said of the Administration of Washington of Madison of Jackson or of any other President who desired to uphold the Constitution as it is, and preserve it against the rottenness which would be infused into it by the adoption of the new fangled doctrines which have illustrated the career of a few moon-struck poli ticians, who, thank Heaven ! for the good of the country ,have "gone glimmering through the dream of things that were." We do not fear the attacks of the "Ex Charge" it upon tne f resident and nis uaDinet. Euch men as Conrad, Stuart, Crittenden and Graham, to say nothing of Daniel Webster, the tides of whose mind would be ttormt in that of the 'Ex-Charge,' will survive any broad side which may be aimed at them from such a source. It it but the shot of theLilUputan directed at the back, of the Lena - than" "Some always pretended to doubt the reality of Van Winkle's story, and insisted that Rip had been out of his head, and that there was one point upon which healways rematnedigiUj " How could his disciples, even the "Ex Charge,'' escape the infection ? Another nap may bring all things right. Let him rest ! About twelve months from this time, he will turn over and pen another epistle to his friend of the "Standard." In a card in a recent number of the Penn- svlvanian, Forney says : "I did 'not say that I 0 would vote frr the worst Democrat in preference o the best Whig. I said and the phrase is one which J have used too often to be forgotten that I m 'd vote or tbe worst Democrat politically. to the" best Whig politically .

Kossuth, to which the Chevalier Hulseman, the Austrian Minister, will be invited. THE MlSSflSSllPPi ELKO'IOrM It will beeeen, by reference to the statement in another column, that Gen. foot' majority in Mississippi for Governor is only about 1,500 a result, however, whicb, when we consider that QditmasV majority, two years since, was up wards of 10,000 votes, must stilt be consideied a most important and complete victory. While ft is very true that Mr. Davis' great personal popularity has had much to do with Gen. Foote's diminished majority we speak with re ference to what.it would unquestionably have been, had Quitman continued a Candidate, still that popularity, immense as it is, will not wholjy account for the result. There is another reason for it which can give precious little conso lation to the Secessionists. That reason "is, that after Gen. Quitman retired from the hopeless contest for Governor on the secession issue, and Col. Davis waajjubstituted in his place, the issue waa,hoged Col. Davis, and all the other Southern Rights", candidates, professed to re- M-tJai. oX be Sutan rention, which toqk place m Sptemb," a feI log settled the secession controversy and simply presented themselves as the candidates the De mocratic party, proclaiming their acquiescence in the Compromise measures, and disclaiming the pendency of any question affecting the stability of the Union. It was this plea of the former "Southern Rights" candidates, and the drawing of old party lines, that bad an influence in gaining for Col. .Davis the votes of many Union Demo crats, who otherwise would have supported his opponent. It was not surprising, therefore, that Gen. Foote's majority should be comparatively small. We regard Gen. Foote's triumph, we say again, on the Union issue, as complete. All his colleagues in the late Congress had to back out from the main issue which they thought pro per to carry before the people of .Mississippi, and yet. with probably a single exception, they have all been defeated ! REPORTED CAPTURE OF MATAMORAS The subjoined despatch from .New Orleans is predicated on a report brought thither on the 12th instant, by the brig Tehuante pec. A despatch dated at New Orleans on the 14th, throws doubt upon the truth of the report, aud states that it was not generally credited in that city: New Orleans, Nov. 13. The brig Tehaunte pec has arrived here Jrom the Rio Grande. She brings later and important advices from Northern Mexico. At last accounts Uie insurgents had made a complete capture of the city of Matamoros The place was entirely in the 'landsof the revolu tionists. It was reported that large reinforcements had joined the revolutionists, and that they were very formidable. The most intense alarm was spreading throughout Mexico, not only on ac count of the; insurgents, but in consequence of great disaffection among the people of the coun try. Expensive preparations were making upon the part of the' Government for defence, and to put down the invaders and rebels. Orders had oeeo issued to show them no quarters. P. S. By Telegraphic accounts irom New i Orleans, of yesterday's date, we have not only a oositive contradiction of the Btory of the capture of MaamorosJy thwargeat. forces of, Nonh. J em Mexico, under the command of Cakvaul, but intelligence of the abandonment of the siege by the latter, and the subsequent rout of his for ces. It appears that Carvajal persisted in his ef forts to capture the city until the 9th inst., when, finding that he had gained no perceptible advan tage, and despairing ot receiving expected rein Iiirceraents, he was compelled to raise trie siege and beat a retreat. The Mexicans then -sallied out and touted the Insurgents, who are reported to have suffered great loss. Carvajal having retreated as far as Revnosa, he there collected his scattered troops, and whs about returning to Matamoras to renew the at tack. The " Rio Bravo" says that at the latest accounts from him he was daily receiving rein forcements, and had actually commenced his march towards the scene of contemplated action. In the mean time, however, the defence 0f Matamoras has been strengthened by the arrival there of Geu. Cakales, with a corps of three hun dred of the national guard, and Gen. Urega was momentarily expected with eight hundred regular troops If we correctly understand the concluding por tion of our despatch, Carvajal has assumed a new position for the insurrectionists, and issued a Declaration of Independence. Int. 9lU D-rThe following Circular was issued on the eve of tbe late Elections m Massachusetts by tbe Free Soil Central Committee. It shows what a pleasant b lling and cooing" was carried on between the De mocracy and Abolitionists of that State to defeat the friends of Mr. Fillmore. "Act liberally towards the Democrats, and secure a good Freesoiler or Democrat.' Either, it seems, would suit their purpose 1 Tbe Ad ministration is to be defeated if the most infamous coa. litions are to be formed to accomplish it ! Yet the South hesitates to sustain that Administration a- gainst which its enemies (tbe Abolitionists) have de clared a relentless warfare 1 Here is the circular let the Democracy read it : " State Central Committee R ooms, ) Boston, Oct, 29th, 1851. f My Dear Sir : The Free Soil State Central Com- mittM are anxious to have vour town elect a Rnr 1 Mutative this vear.

If the friends of the ''Compromise" triumph in that quarter, all will yet be well : but it Greeley, and Seward, and Weed, and those Who sustain them in their crusade agaiust- the Constitution, should obtain the ascendency, we may at once despair of harmony and of the. continuance of tbe Union of these States.

We invite attention to the following graphic and highly gratifying communication from the Directors of the Cape Fear and Deep River Navi gation Company. It will be seen that the im provement will be completed to the head of Smil ie's Falls at McNeill's Ferry, by the middle ol December next, and that thus the obstacles in the River, which, it is well known, have always been regarded as the great obstruction to this improve ment, will be overcome. We must confess we are exceedingly gratified to receive this Com munication. The completion of this improve ment will open up a bright fature for Wilming ton- We are credibly informed that there is al ready a very heavy amount of Turpentine and produce of different kinds lying on the River ad- Ijacent to Smilie's Falls awaiting the completion .he improvement to be transsywed to this puce.

Gentlemen : The undersigned Board of Di rectors of your Company, having within a few days past visited the work at different points on ihe Cape Fear, beg leave lo submit the following brief statement of its progress ana present condi tion. In doing this, while they regret that the anticipations of the friends of the work of its be ing entirely finished by 'he 1st ot January next, will not be realised, they are yet gratified to be able to assure you, that it ja in a state of great forwardness. . '- It may not be improper to call your attention to the fact, that the great obstacles to your improve ment occur on the uiver below .McNeill's Ferry. embracing Smilie's, Silver Run, ana Jones' Falls. Boats can readily pass from fayetteville to Jones Falls whenever they can pass the shallows below fayetteville. I'he work at Jones' is the lowest down the River next to Fayetteville. At this point there has been great difficulty in getting bands, owing to the fact that an impression existed in the up per country that it was unhealthy, and con.-enuen tly the work here is in a more backward condi tion than at any point on tbe lower part of the line. The lock walls were wiihin two rounds of their full height, and dam about seven feet high; there was a targe force at work, and the under signed are assured that the work at this point will be completed within a month Irom this time They next examined the work at Silver Run Falls. This is the next above Jones'. Here the work was nearly completed, the lock gates ready to be bung. ' The point next above is Red Rock. Here the work was finished with the exception of hanging the gates, and the Dam within one course of its full height. There were fifty hinds at rwnrit. This location will be finished in a tew days. The next l ck and damare at Haw R dge. Here ihe lock was finished with the exception of a lit tle ceiling, the lock gates hung, and the dam com pleted the water flowing over the dam its ful length. The point next above Haw Ridge, is Green Rock. We found the lock and dam completed or nearly so ; the lock gates hung and the water flowing over the dam its full length. The point next above is Narrow Gap. No one unacquainted with the River, can well con ceive the extreme peril heretofore in an ordinary freshet, in passing this point; the River in the Gap was greatly narrowed ; the fall considerable and the current rtish.ng down with a frightlu velocity against the projecting rocks and angles in the Kiver. has heretolore caused it lo be with very imminent danger to life, that persons en gaged in rafting could effect a passage. We found the lock here finished, the gates hung, and tne dam also finished on, with the exception of a little sheeting. A considerable force was en gaged in finishing it. This dam is convex to the stream and presents a picturesque and imposing appearance, and it may not be out of place to re mark, that during the floods of last winter, which were as high as any that have ever occurred wiihin the recollection of the oldest inhabitants, although tbe work at this point was in an unfin ished and exposed state, it sustained no injury. The point on the line next above, and near 1851. the head of Smilies Palls, is Sharped. The dam at this point when completed, will back the water to Mc A lister's, three-miles above McNeill's Ferry and thirty five or forty miles above Fayetteville, by way of the river. They did not visit Sharp field's, but were informed that this work was in a state of considerable forwardness. The undersigned confidently assure you that unless, there be a rise in the Rivpr in ih mmn. while, your improvement will be completed from the head of Smilie's Falls to Fayetteville, by the lu each case where the dam was completed, or the water flowing over it, there were 3 or 3 J feet of water on; the mitre sills efthe lock next above; thus showing that at the lowest stage of water in the River, boats of , upwards of 3(J inches draft may pass without dif- ucnity. Your improvement contemplates the construc tion of five dams across the river, and a canal be. tween McNeill's Ferry and Haywood. This work is in a sta'e of .considerable forwardness atsevera points. The eanal, half a mile I ng, has been ex cavated ; and at another point visited hy the un dersigned, Norrington's, the lock was Up to its full height, and the dam about three feet high, nearly across the river, and a respectable force engaged in carrying it up. ' "Vf "Tr w ,,h regard rto he work c The work b also pro- on Deep River, it ia a state of great forwardness. With the exception of one lock and dam in Pullins' Falls, and the canal at that point, about two miles above Hay wood, it is going forward rapidly along the whole line of the river to Peter G. Evans' Mills, which is tlte highest point on the river at which works are to be constructed. The second lock and dam in Pullins' Falls, the longest on the river, is near ly completed. The contractors on Deep River are generally subscribers in work at various designa ted points on the river Upon the whole, the un dersigned have full confidence that your entire line ol improvement from Fayetteville to Han cock's Mills will be completed during the next working season. They believe there will be no difficulty in getting any force that may be desired on the river above McNeill's Ferry. The im mense amount of coal and pr duce of every kind which will find an outlet to the ocean through this improvement, cannot fail to make your invest ments profit i ble. Wrhout adverting to the im mense amount of staves, pine timber, turpentine, and the ordinary products of our soil, enhanced in amount as they must be, by the great facilities of getting up lime and guano, &,c. &c which must thus find an outlet; leaving out of view the water pirwer created by your improvement, Which will, in a short time, be improved, and every drop of water be made literally " to work its way to the ocean," which will belong to you, and of course enhance your dividends; the developments which have been made, and which are constantly mak ing on Deep River, prove incontestahly, that the whole of that valley is one vast coal field. Ex periments have been recently made, by boring at the distance of several miles from the river, and where, to all appearance, there was little proba bility of any mineral being found ; and coal of the finest quality, and in quantities apparently inex haustible, discovered. Iron ore too, in the great est abundance, and of the best quality; lies in close proximity with the cal. All these produc tions must pass over your improvement. From these considerations, the undersigned afe confident that your investments in the stock of tne oornpany cannot fail to yield you an ample remunerating return.

The Washington correspondent of the N. Y. Journal of Commerce communicates the follow ing gratifying information : With great satisfaction I inform you that the negotiation with Spain, through the Spanish min ister, Don. A. Calderon de la Barca, is about to come I o a favorable conclusion. The President h is finally concurred in all the views taken by Mr. U ebster on the subject of the proper mode and extent of the redress due to Spain. Some of ihe formalities suggested by Mr. Calderon, and which have been the subject of of much unneces sary remark in the newspapers, were objected to by Mr. Webster, and the President sustains them in-those objections. But in the proposition that Mr. Webster recommended the President con curs. Distinct overtures are now, therefore, made to Mr. Calderon, and they are supposed to be of such a character that will meet all the views of his Government, and which wil' be unobiectiona ble to- the American public. W hat is offered can not be considered as too much ; but. on the con rary, it is as little as we can possibly offer as a reparation to an insulted Government and nation The overtures are now before Mr. Calderon, and it is presumed that he will accept ihem. He may require some modifications, but n ne that will be inconsistent with the views of this Government lu a few days therefore, we may bail with plea sure, a restoration of Inendly relations with Spain Ihe immediate consequence will be the restora lion of the American prisoners, and the abandon nient of proceedings against Mr. Thrasher, and all Americans who have had, or who have been suspected ot having, any connection with the late attempt at insurrection in Cuba. Mr. Webstee going South The New Or leans Crescent says that it understands reliably, that Mr. Webster will visit New Orleans next February, and suggests that suitable arrangements should be made to receive him. It says : "Daniel Webster is unquestionably the Colos sus of the North, one of the historic monuments of our country, which shall witness our times and our' land to the future. He has written bis name broad and deep upon the Constitution, and vindicated the Union. He has latterly redeemed himself from sectionalism, sacrificed his sectional power, and made himself national. He should be fitly honored honored the more that he is no parasite, no sycophant, but an American stales man, and now an American statesman all over." Correspondence of the Baltimore Sun.)
