LT Clingman, OUR FOREIGN DELATIONS. ,Tbe commercial, social 'and -political inter line of the United States with Europe and lie Eastern Continent generally, are daily be oBiag more intimate. In spite of the wise I pi wholesome maxims of Washington, in his fjrtwell Address, we think we can "perceive, in lb not distant future, a time when America ,31 not merely be recognised as a "Power on BKh," but the great and controlling Power. liia tate of things must necessarily result jjn the unparalleled growth of this country awealth and population, which another's life ga will place ahead of, any country in the jarld, in all the elements of greatness. The American people are the most active, Kitwprising, persevejfing and daring people on the face of the globe, whether viewed in a com wrrial, industrial, political, or warlike aspect. Tie lorifail has been erased from their vo oklary ; and to will a thing, is to perform it. lid with these capacities for achievement, for rtvth, for acquisition. Providence .has blest u with every natural element of wealth and jower balf a continent, embracing nearly rv climate and production, capable of sus taMagthe population of the whole earth. Our OTDtry is new our population is sparse, but lithroom far almost indefinite increase, and thit increase going on at a ratio vhteh must fitdraple tke present number of inhabitants bj tweaty-iv e millions in less than 50 years. On, the odMT hand, tkose nations of Europe -tiich or com pete wlt& ns i'ajwr, energy ad influence in the affairs of the world, are, vita the exception of Russia, overcrowded, udire poariog out their population in a tide if emigration, which at once keeps their nam len ttttinary, while it augments ours. The cases of 1851 shows that Great Britain and Ireland together, remained nearly stationary if ten years in population the latter actually tiling off to the extent of a million and a half. roce and Germany are in a stagnant condi tion, compared with the United States, while Wj, Spain and Turkey are in a condition 1 1 1- iif any better than Ireland. Russia has an mense extent of territory, though nearly half (fit is embraced in the uninhabitable regions i die frigid zone. The habitable portion of it sot larger than the United States, and not mi parable with it in productive power. The people are for the most part semi-barbarous, vithout commercial or industrial habits they t consequently poor, and increase but slowly, lj procreation, and by immigration not at all.

But we should, under no circumstances, listen to the Siren song of demagogues, who would counsel wars of conquest and annexation, under the specious pretext of " extending the area of freedom." The career of conquest has been in all ages the vice of great nations, and the infalli ble source of the corruption, enslavement and ruin of the people. Shall we prove an excep tion to the rule ? The question is one of fearful import. If the American people suffer them selves to be deluded and captivated by the tempting baits held out to their cupidity by the present Administration and its reckless sup porters ifjthey adopt the policy of war, con quest and annexation proposed for their accep tance, by , demagogues without principle and without scruple, then their career may be splendid as was that of ancient Rome, or Mace don, or modern Spain ; but it will as certainly terminate in despotism and decay. Nations which flourished before the promul gation of Christianity, or before its benign in fluence was widely felt, and known, and recog nised among men, as the infallible standard of public and private morals, hare much more excuse than we can claim for indulging a sav age passion for war and conquest: in the face of justice and mercy, we commit the unpardon able offence of sinning against light and know ledge, while they can plead ignorance in in extenuation of their offences, at the bar of eternal justice. It may be laid down almost as an axium in international disputes, that the aggressor is the stronger party. It will be difficult, we appre hend, to find an exception to tho rule. The weaker party may be forced to declare war, by a series of irritations and aggressions, but the first invasion of right will never be deliberately made by a party which is conscious of its inability to cope with its adversary. A weak man is sometimes constrained, by a sense of what is due to his honor or his violated rights, to strike the first .blow; but his cupidity or ambition will rarely incite him to acts of injus tice against his superior in strength or, if he should be hurried into unjustifiable conduct by the impetuosity of his temper, he will be prompt to rectify the wrong, and thus avoid a resort to violence. So with nations. Great na tions should, in ninety-nine cases out of a hun dred, be held responsible for the guilt of wars in which they participate. It is true, that the really weak power, fVom a misapprehension of its strength, may provoke a stronger nation to war ; but in the case of great and overshadowing nations, 6uch as the United States now is, on this Continent, and in a few years, will be in the world at large, there can be no such mistake. If we go to war with any of the petty, mis named Republics of South America, with Mex ico, or with Spain, for the acquisition of Cuba, it may be, and will be, taken for granted, that we are in the wrong, and that they are defend ing their invaded rights. So in Europe : if Russia makes war upon Sweden, or Turkey, or even Austria or Prussia, the whole world will set it down to the score of cupidity and ambi tion an unholy lust of conquest and dominion. The maxim that " might makes right," all unchristian, infamous, satanic as it is, can alone be pleaded in defence of wars waged by the strong upon the weak. The day is not far distant when the intelligence of a christian civilization will allow to them no other mask ; and it is to be hoped, that the American peo ple, as they are destined to be the most power ful, will be the first to recognise this truth, and to judge the conduct of their own rulers by it. There is a universally prevalent idea, that great nations require great armies and navies, and that the extent of the means and appli ances of war should be in proportion to the wealth, population and power of the country employing, them. We maintain, on the con trary, that the reverse is true, viz : that the ne cessity for warlike preparations diminishes in proportion as the country grows wealthy and powerful. Is not this the common sense view of the question? Would an army of ten thou sand men suffice for the defence of our exten- sivo and valuable possessions, if, instead of twenty-five millions, our population numbered only one million ? And, if we had a hundred millions of inhabitants, instead of twenty-five, is it not 'equally clear that we should need no army at all ? In countries where the people are governed or rather, oppressed by an arbitrary power, the necessity for standing armies is doubtless in proportion to the victims to be held in subjec tion ; but, in this country, no such excuse can be alleged for them, and it is to be hoped, that the day ia not distant when liberated Europe can dispense with them likewise. May the United States, as itbecomes a "Power on earth," wisely and judiciously exercise its legitimate influence to "bring about this desirable result I May it not become, what locofoco demagogues would make it, a modern Rome, with its guilty career of war and conquest, its triumphal pro cessions, with trains of captains, lead in chains, to do honor to its military heroes. Rather let it 1m the great conservator and defender of Jus tice, Liberty and Peace, and the chief instru ment in the TiandB of Providence, in civilizing and christianizing mankind I jj- We hope some steps will be taken at once, in this city, in aid of the sufferers at New Orleans. There is not a town, Bcorpely a county in North Carolina, which is ' nonrepresented there, and duty to our bwr fellow-oitiens,. if not a geperal impulse of humanity, calls upon us to do something. However little the" amount, it will be gratefully appreciated, and. the noble JJoward Association will make good use of it. The Northern ; cities have done well the generous South must not be behind Let something be done, without delay. . WHEN WILL RAIL ROAD ACCIDENTS CEASE ? Scarcely a day passes without the record of some terrible calamity. Tho Norwalk tragedy is not out of mind, and the constant succession of accidents on the Erie Road are fresh in the memory; yet as fast as tho winged lightning can chronicle them, it seems not too fast for their awful repetition. It was but last week, that the dreadful occurrence on the Camden and Amboy road took place. That being on our main line of connection North, fathers, mothers, friends, all looked anxiously forward to the result. Happily our fears were relieved, but who can estimate the horrors of such a scene ? Passing from that calamity to reflect, the ink does not get dry upon the paper, before, we hear of ano ther, more horrible, and more inenJurable. A gay party of pleasure, a gathering of joyous ex cursionists, turned, in the twinkling of an eye, into mutilated corpses, or inconsolable mourners. It is too horrible to reflect upon.-. Who, that has ever travelled upon a' well tilled train, all faces bright, and all eyes animation, could mus ter courage, to look upon the same, the moment after one of these collisions ? In an indefinite ly short period of time, those figures, late so full of life, are turned into mere clods of the valley. Those eyes, late so bright, quenched into the darkness of death ! It is useless to say we do not find fault. There is blame somewhere. Wc think the rail road system at the North, has been long enough in operation, to give security to the traveller, and especially between, New York and Philadelphia. That odious' monopoly, which lays claim to al most the whole of New Jersey, should be broken up. It has things so completely under control, that Commodore Stockton and his compeers, can fetch and carry at their own will, and break heads and mangle bodies with impunity. This must not be so any longer. Wc think things are a little better managed at the South. We rarely ever hear of any accident beyond what is occasioned by careless lying or sleeping on the track. The truth is, rail road companies must be held responsible in their corporate capacity, and bet ter at the North, in their directorial power, for all mishaps, and those who travel would have some guarantee for safety. THE GRAPE SEASON" In tins issue, there appears an advertisement from S. H. Wellcr. U'e have little personal acquaintance with Mr. Weller ; but we know something of the Seuppernong grape. We have seen it in its wild state, and we have seen it cultivated, when it bore the restraints of civilization with as little patience as the wild stag, bent upon carrying out its own in'tincts, and utterly obstinate and rebellious to anything like control. Yet, give it room, and there is no species of vegetation that repays so gratefully ' the protection it receives. We have seen n sin- '. gle vine spreading over three-quarters of an : , , acre, and loading the air with the perfume of its ripe Duncnes, lor nunareds ot yards around We have seen the grapes gathered from this vine for six weeks in succession. Yet, while we believe the Scupparnong the most delicious table grape in the country, we doubt its capa city to make a good wine. For good grapes, and pleasant recreation, we commend Brinkleyville to the visiter. - Politicians will excuse the absence of political editorial. There is nothing ttf talk about now. The issues are settled to the satis faction of each respective constituency. Even if we are not content in the loss of one mem ber, and the return of a quasi Whig to Con gress, we accord to the people the right to think who will best represent them. If they have erred, they will be among the first to feel it. But, in these dog-days, no editor is ready to rekindle, from the embers of a dead strife, a new quarrel. We hope all who can travel, will j go to the nearest cooling-on place, and that ' those who cannot, will keep as cool as possible i . , .i i- ., ' at home, illuminating, in the meantime, the ; minds ot their readers, upon subjects which better their condition far more than politics. Now is the time to urge measures of State im provement. Now is the time to give informa tion upon agriculture, railroads, plank roads, and whatever tends to regenerate North Caro lina. Let partisan politics lie dead for a while, to be disentombed only when another excite ment is needed. Washington's Wealth. Tha Mount Vernon Estate. The following extract is taken from an old book published by Russell and West, Bos- ton, in the year 1800, entitled ''Washiugton's to Mrs. Martha Washington "Gen'l Washington was at one time probably one of the greatest land-holders in the United States. His annual receipts from his estates a mounted in 1795 to four thousand pounds ster ling. His property at the same period was es timated to be worth one hundred and sixty thousand pounds sterling, which is a very large j sum in federal money, und was considered a very great fortune at that early day in this country for any one man to possess. His es tate at Mount Vernon was computed in 1787 to consist of nine thousand aces of land, of which enough was in cultivation to produce in a single year, ten thousand bushels of corn and seven thousand bushels of wheat. In a succeeding year he raised two hundred lambs, sowed twen ty-seven bushels of flax-seed, and planted seven hundred bushels of potatoes. He desisted, it was said, from planting tobacco which was then extensively raised in Virginia, for the purpose it is said of setting an example, by employing his extensive means in the introduction and fostering of such articles of domestic use and necessity as would ultimately tend to the best advantage of his country. His. : -domestics, at the Baine were industriously employed in man ufacturing woolen cloth and linen in sufficient quantities to clothe' his numerous household, which numbered nearly one thousand persons." LtBits. Chief Justice Jersis -said, "in JJng land about a fortnight ago, that it was not ac tionable to say pf a man personally,'. "You are a liar," or "You are a 8undrel," noTwas, it actionable5 to "combine the epithets' and Bay; "You are a lying scoundrel, but if. said of an attorney in' his professional oharactery these words would be actionable. ANOTHER DREADFUL RAILROAD ACCIDENT. MORE THAN TWENTY LIVES LOST. Pkovidence, R. I., August 12. It is my pain ful duty to inform you of another dreadful and terribly destructive railroad accident which oc curred on the Providence Railroad this morning, by which sixteen to twenty. persons have been killed and probably twenty to forty wounded somejfatally, and other very seriously. . The particulars will be forwarded as soon as received. i secono despatch. ' More of the Railroad Accident. Providence, R. I., Aug.-12 The accident oc cured bout 8 o'clock this morning. The train frorn Whitensville with a very large excursion party,of ladies and gentlemen on board, on its way to Providence, came in collision with the Tegur train frofrt" Providence. The crash was fearful. Both trains were going at full speed. The locomotives were completely driven into each other, and a large nainher of the cars were thrown off the truck, and smashed into fragments. The passengers, ladies and gentlemen and children, were thown violently out, some crush ed under the wheels, and others literally jam med; op among the ruins. The scene truly ap palling in the extreme. J'he shrieks of the wounded and dying made the blood run cold. As far as can ascertained about twenty men, women and children were killed instantly, and some welve or. fifteen so dreadfully mangled that n hope is entertained for their lives. Many rithnrsMijihtly and some dangerously injured. Most of the killed and wounded are from Ux- j briJgejand Whitinsville. I The pastor of Grace Church, at Uxbridge, is j among the killed. The names of others I have ( not -ascertained. The scene is heart-rending. ' The de id and dying are lying about in all di ! rections some still under the ruins. Physi j cians are in attendance, and doing all in their i powerjto alleviate the sufferings of the wound ed, j - Theaccident was caused by a difference of two mihut s in the time of the watches of the j conductors. third despatch. WorVhester, Aug. 12, 2 P. M. The collision of the wo trains is represented as terrific, as j both wre going at a high speed. On the Ux j bridgojtrain the thid passenger car leaped over j the second, killing three persons who were es jcapingfrom the windows. One boy had his j arm conipletoly torn froin'the socket. The dead ! were terribly mangled. Nine persons were ta j ken from the wreck dead, and laid side by side at Valley Falls, presenting a heart-rending spectacle. It iestimated that twenty have been killed, and forty or more wounded. Note. Valley Falls is on the Providence & Worchester Railroad, just above its junction with the Boston & Providence Road. ! FOURTH DESPATCH. Worcester, Aug. 12th, 9 P. M.--Thc acci dent took place on the Providence and Worces ter, and, not on the Boston and Worcester Rail road as first stated.

Let every man who has a comfortable residence tf retire to, and who is not compelled to hard labor at this season, bl thankful to a kind and beneficent Providence. Among the large class in this city whe ire compelled to labor for a mere sub sistence, there are instances of suffering few would imagine, and incidents of positive hero ism which many could .scarcely conceive. A friend of ours, who lives pn Apollo street, arose the othet- morning, just before daybreak, and from his balcony ueiieiu a man actively anu nimbly putting out the gas lights. On the same evening; about o o clocfe, our inena was on nis way home, when he saw a sight that deeply affected and interested him. It was his active lamp-lighter of the morning, dragging jhis now weary body along, following his wife, who held the lamp in her hand, and on her shoulder bore the ladder. She was doing the duty of her husband, who was suffering from' the first weary symptoms of the prevail ing disease. When through the duties affection prompted Jier to perform, she put her husband's arm within hers and led him home. We have not heara'the condition of .the sufferer since, but sincerely pray that he may live to reward the devotion ot tbatwHe, ana support nerwnen she may need his arm to lean op, and the word of affection to cheer and encourage her.

ARRIVAL OF THE HUMBOLDT -LATER FROM EUROPE. The Turkish Difficulties not Settled. New York, August 15. The Humboldt ar rived this afternoon at five o'clock. She brought one hundred and eighty-six passengers. It was feared that the Emperor of Russia wculd decline to withdraw his forces from the principalities, as stipulated in the proposition made by the three powers. The English and French fleets would, in that case, be ordered to pass the Dardanelles, and a peaceful settlement of the difficulty would be greatly jeoparded. A telegraphic despatch from Constantino ple dated tho 20th states that the Porte and the representatives of the great powers had ac cepted the propositions of the- Austrian Minis ter, which arranged that the English and French fleets should withdraw from Besica bay, whilst Russia evacuated the Danubian prov inces. Turkey would then send an embassa dor to opea" new negotiations with St. Peters burgh. The Morning Chronicle reaffirms the declara tion that the United States had offered to the Porte money and active forces. A decline in the funds has been caused at Paris and London by an article in the Censti tutionnel declaring that France and England would not consent to the arrangement which had been proposed at Constantinople. Great uneasiness had been created by the news of a decree by the Czar ordering a fresh levy of recruits throughout the empire ; this was interpreted as a war measure. LATER. Moldavia had declared itself independent of the Porte, and refused to pay further tribute. A similar movement is expected in Wallachia. It lsasserted that the Parte intends addres sing an ultimatum to Russia, in which, after paying due regard to the rights of the Sultan's Christian subjects, that sovereign declares that if, in spite of this repeated assurance, the Czar should persist in offering war, the Porte is re solved to aceept it, but that the responsibility must be with Russia. The above document, it is further asserted, has been communicated to the Ambassadors from France and England. Orders have been sent to Hospadars of Mol davi a and Wallachia, commanding them to quit those principalities and retire to the right bank of the Danube. Important from Buenos Ayres. New Y'ork, August 15. By an arrival here we have later advices from Buenos Ayres. The blockade was raised at Montevideo about the 20th of June and the fleet gone over to Buenos Ayres. Th e ship Clarendon, for San Francisco, had put into Montevideo, previous to 5th July, leaking. Also the ship Bowditch, leaking. The Jellow Ftrer in Kew Orleans. New OrLeans, August 13. The rages of the fever continue unabated, and there is no check to its unprecedented fatality. The number of deaths up to 12 o'clock at noon to-day has been 200 of yellow fever alone. second despatch. New Orleans, August 13. The total num ber of deaths in the city, according to the offi cial report of the Board of Health, for the past week, ending at 0 o'clock on Friday evening, is fifteen hundred and eighteen, of which twelve hundred and seventy-seven were from yellow fever, being an increase over last week from all diseases of three hundred and ninety-eight. Nearly every person who possibly could, has left the city f or different parts of the country. Indeed, scarcely enough are" left to bury the dead. Should the fever continue much longer, there will be no victims for it to feed upon. third despatch. New Orleans, August 14. The report of the Board of Health for the past twenty-four hours ending on Saturday morning, exhibits 174 deaths, of which 153 were from yellow fe ver. The scourge is still on the increase, though the deaths not quite so large for want of victims. A NEGRO APPOINTED TO OFFICE. The Washington (N. C.) Whig says: We learn that the Pierce administration has ap pointed a Mulatto as keeper of the Long Shoal Light Boat. It is almost too much to believe, but is nevertheless true. We were informed of the fact a few weeks ago by a gentleman who has known the fellow from a boy, and we have since been told by several persons who know him, that the fact of his having negro blood in him is well known on the Banks ; so well known that he has never been allowed to vote. Capt. Pugh, a very respectable and worthy man, who was appointed to the Long Shoal Boat, on the death of the former keeper. Capt. Mydett, was turned out to make way for this negro; And the Administration are carrying the business of proscription to such an extent that the Whig seamen employed on board the Light Boats are removed to aman, and loco focos employed in their places. A Goon Scriptural Name. The Richmond Times of Saturday relates the following: A gentleman traveling in a section of coun try which shall be nameless, stopped at the house of a pious old woman, and, observing her fondness for pet dog, ventured to ask the name of the animal. The good woman an swered by saying that she called him "More over." "Is not that a strange name ?" inquired the gentleman. "Vcs," tsaid the pious old ladv, "Tjut X thought it must be a good one, as I found it in the Bible." "Found it in the Bible 1" quoth the gentleman. "Pray in what part of the Bi ble did you find it ?" The old lady took down her Bible with the utmost reverence, and, turning to the text, read as follows : "Moreover the dog came and lick ed his sores." "There," said she triumphantly, "have I not the highest authority lor the name V In a small country town located in the vicini ty of the junction ot the Uhenango with the Susquehanna river, there is a church in which the singing had, to use their own phrase, "run completely down." It bad been led for many years by one of the deacons, whose voice and musical powers had been gradually giving out. One evening, on an occasion of interest, the clergyman gave out the hymn, which was sung even worse than usual the deacon, of course, leading off. Upon its conclusion, the minister arose and requested .brother to repeat the hvmn, as he could sot conscientiously pray af ter such singing.
