We think irnper itself is an indication of the qualify fwk it is capable of throwing off, worked lis by the lads of the office, not one of whom lifter seen a Power Press, prior to the put ijipof this one in our office, (a knowledge oeh behind eur own, however, so rar as s practical workings of a Power Press were eraed.) The speed claimed by Mr. M. is ?per hour this might be deemed an aver vorking by inexperienced hands but we ),od a test of its speed, and a man at the W, run off 20 per minute. A small boy jjinin it, at this rate, easily, but he would w difficult to stop it, should it become nee Wj, at that velocity. A lad not yet 11 years "Win our office exults in turning off our (won.

Nothing has occurred to shake, in the slightest degree, their attachment for him. Tbe past is safe ; and, as to tha future, all they ask of him is to adhere to the senti ments announced in his Inaugural. This we are sure he will do." Standard. The editor of the " Standard " employs the term " millions," doubtless, by a sort of poetic license, and being " alike distinguished in literature and politics," no one surely has a bet-, ter right to indulge in it. He probably refers to the million and a half, or little upwards, of Freesoilers, Abolitionists and Secessionists who supported Pierce for the Presidency. Now, " nothing " may have occurred to Bhake the editor's attachment for Frank., " nothing," probably, but the withdrawal of that portion of tbe spoils which, attacheth to tha " Standard," directly and indirectly, could fiave that effect ; but we submit," that if their own declarations are to be taken as evidence, the " hearts " and the "attachments" of some, among the millions aforesaid, are considerably shaken. The Union Democracy of the country, generally, manifest discontent with the Administration. The "Journal of Commerce," for instance, in dulges in this strain : "la our opinion Gen'l Pierce has gone coun ter to the public intention, and has committed a capital error. We express this opinion with deep sorrow. We have no personal disappoint ments of any description to avenge. He has been liberal with sentiments favorable to the National idea, and has bestowed power and eonmand on his antagonists ; thus holding out ' an inducement for treachery and desertion of the Constitution, and holding it out to the lea ders of those who, feeling that they had com mitted a great error, were ready to return to their allegiance to the country, by assenting to the supremacy of the class who, throughout the contest, had shown their patriotism and their ability to govern. The appointment of Mr. Sickles, recently made, intended as an ex ception to the general policy, is one' of those mistakes, which, under a sudden conviction of error, is often committed. The national feel ing of the country, sickened at the display of mere sentiment in its favor, has arrived at the solemn judgment, that the President has come short of the duties which a great position im posed, and of the'high distinction which its performances would unquestionably have con ferred." Here is a well-considered and deliberate on slaught from a highly respectable and influ ential source. The " New York Herald," also, belabors Frank at a round rate, and scolds him vehemently for his non conformity to those con servative professions which induced it "to elect him f A like demonstration was' recently made by Mr. Edmund Burke, of New Hamp shire, and by Mr. Coolet, a prominent Hunker in the New York Senate, while several of the Virginia " Democratic " journals have pursued similar course. It really appears, therefore, that in less than seven months after hie inaugu ration, Gen'l Pierce has contrived not only to shake the attachments " of many, but to sow the seeds of disaffection in his party, generally, and to call down upon his head the most bitter anathemas. He has utterly failed, to realize the expectations of his best friends! He has not, since the election, exhibited the national spirit that they looked for. But the editor of the " Standard," in declar ing that " nothing hat occurred " to shake his attachment to Pierce, virtually approves the appointment of such men as Gray, of the " Cleveland Plain-Dealer ;" as Yroom, as Minis ter to Prussia, who denies the constitutionality of the Fugitive Slave law ; as Hallett, chief leader of the coalition between the locofocos and abolitionists in Massachusetts ; and as William J. Brown, of infamous notoriety, who was detected in a villianous intrigue with Wil mot and Giddings 1 Is this so? And does the editor, claiming to be such a strict-construction Democrat, find "nothing" to disapprove of in the President's assent to the declarations of Messrs. Guthrie and Davis in favor of the Pa cific Railroad? Nothing? "The. past is safe." True enough; the of fices thus far bestowed are " safe " in the hands of the enemies of law, order and good govern ment ! " As for the future, all they ask of him is to adhere to the sentiments announced in his In augural." You may "call spirits from the vasty deep "but will they come t The Presi dent has already proven faithless to those senti ments, and it is now too late for him. to act up to them, even were he disposed to do so. But the " Standard " is " sure," nevertheless, " that be will do so 1" Its expectations in this par ticular are .destined to prove as delusive as its vaticinations with regard to the recent Congres sional Election in this District, when it was so certain that "Lewis would lead Yenable at least . . nr.. " 1 ....... ona bnnorea vote iu rt orrou, uuo o to get at least four hundred majority in "glori ous old Nash," that he "was gaining in Gran- TiHetand that he was playing the deuce generally in the District 1 People are beginning to learn that much confidence cannot be reposed in the predictions of the " Standard." This, perhaps, under all the circumstances of the case, is not much to be wondered at. I County. We are pleased to learn W l a - . V .. " gentleman of fine attainment, THE CRYSTAL PALACE. During a recent flying visit to New York, we availed ourselves, of course, of an opportunity f visiting the Crystal Palace, that teeming hive of the "Industry of all Nations ;" and we must confess that all the expectations we had formed with regard to it were fully realized. Considering that it is the fruit exclusively of private exertion and enterprize, and that it has derived no support or aid from the national purse, it is everyway creditable to its managers and to the Country. Lord Ellesmire, of the Royal Commission, who recently left for London; though not at all inclined to be complimentary to American men or American institutions, ad mitted, we learn, its superiority over the Exhi bition held in London, io 1851, so fat as the taste and elegance of the building, and the com pleteness of the internal arrangements, are con cerned. The number of articles on exhibition is much smaller and certainly not so varied ; but we venture the opinion that there is a greater ex clusion of useless trifles and a better display of the usetul arts. Wobody ever dreamed of get ting up an exhibition equal, in all respects, to the London Exhibition in 1851. That exhi bition had the resources not only of England, but of nearly every power in Europe, at com mand. It was prepared under the immediate patronage of the Queen and the whole govern ment, and nearly every monarch on the conti nent devoted his personal efforts and influence, and applied all the machinery of office, to its en couragement and support. With such a com bination of effort and friends from all nations, and such powerful means at command, it is not to be wondered at that a show of unparalleled extent and magnificence was produced. We cannot attempt a description of any one of the numerous beauties of the Crystal Palace. Where so many exist, it is almost impossible to particularize. Many of our readers will doubt less see them for themselves. We would ad vise every one, who has it in his power, to do so, but that the security of life and limb is so little regarded by the laws of modern travel. THE COMET. A brilliant Comet is now distinctly visible to the naked eye, in the North west, every night, between 8 and 9 o'clock. This Comet was dis covered on the 10th of June by M. Klinkerfues, and a previous report from the Washington Observatory announced the probability of such a phenomenon making its appearance. Its nu cleus is of the brightness of a star of the third magnitude a tail of one or two degrees in length can also be distinguished, extending upward. Its distance from the sun is now thirty millions of miles ; but from tbe earth it is two or three times more remote. , . B& If we are to judge Democracy by the names with which they take peculiar delight in designating different factions of the party, they are a nice set. A Catalogue of those endearing appellations we find summed up in an exchange paper. Thus in Missouri they call each other "Rottens," "Cleans," "Scamp," "Hards," "Softs," "Nullifiers," kc. In Maine their fa vorite nick-names are "Cats," "Wild Cats," "Hell Cats," "Bears," "Ramrods," "Catfish," and so on. In New York they go under the acknowledged title of "Hunkers," "Barnburn ers," "Soft Shells" and "Hard Shells." Yet Ihose gentry take it in high dudgeon and think the dignity of their party greatly insulted when the Whigs dignify them with the title of locofocos. vWCDn- H r .c-i.ie.ij vi "mmh, Cisq., ox omunueiu, Pwt tUptaA V. : !

Creect, (a native of 1 the Eastern part of this State, and a most worthy and estimable gentleman,) a clerk in the Solici tors office of the U. S, Treasury, died on the morning of tbe 16th inst. From a statement in the Washington Republic, it appears that within less than two hours after his death, there were many applicants for the vacant clerkship. Times must be getting; hard with the locofoco office-huntert. v iy Benjamin S. Hines, Esq., formerly of this City, and a son of the late Hon. Richard Hines, has been removed from tbe office of Naval Store-keeper at San Fransisco, and Joseph C. McKibbim appointed in his place. Four editors in New Orleans have died victims to the yellow fever two of the Pica- -vuna. one of the Delta, and one of the Cres- cent. The Whigs of Maryland .are beginning to prepare for organization. A meeting Las been called by the State Central Committee, to take place in Baltimore on the first of next month, for the purpose of adopting such mea sures as shall tend to promote the general in terests of the party. It is expected that dele gates will be in attendance from all parts of the State. A general sentiment prevails at Baltimore that by proper organization and uni ty of action the Whigs of Maryland can carry the State at the next election. THE AGRICULTURAL FAIR. We are gratified to learn that the most vig orous and active preparations are being made for the approaching State Fair. Within a small fraction of the necessary amount of funds, we learh, has been raised, and there can be no doubt that the residue Will be promptly sub scribed , fi The large and ppacioiiIot, in the Eastern suburbs pf the City, formerly kno wn as the Mo rus Mulficaulis tract, has been secured, and the proper Committee will immediately proceed to have Jhe necessary buildings and fixtures erected, i The site selected is, perhaps, altoge ther, as eligible a one as could have been cho sen. We look for the very best results from this Inaugural Fair, followed up annually, as it will be, by others upon a more extended and im proved? scale. No institution is so well cal culated tdbenefit the State and all tbe diversi fied pursuits of her people. Come up, then, Gentlemen Farmers, Mechanics and Manufac turers, and show the country what North Caro lina can do byway of a beginning! j DANGER AT HAND. A Washington correspondent of the Enquirer writes : To the Editors of the Enquirer: Washington, D. C, Aug. 15. Gentlemen : Absence from my place for some days has made me somewhat delinquent in no ticing passing events. We are highly gratified to find thit that sterling writer, of nerve and mettle, R.j,A. Pryor, Esq. late of this city, will be associated with the conduct of the Enqirer. Judfi'mg from the passing events . around me, Mr. Pryor'. as well as vourself, will have enough to do to 6ave the citadel of the Constitution of the United States from being scattered into frag ments. The building of the Pacific Railroad will, it is pretty dertain, be the means of creating a pow erful division in tbe Democratic party. The Editor of the Union goes in flat-footed for the building o the road from the public Treasury, when the surveys are completed, as a necessa ry work'tof'repel invasion" from our Pacific possessions.. This is a very singular idea, ru- It will require all the powers of the "Enqui rer," says the "Richmond Whig," to save "the citadel of the constitution of the United States from being; scattered into fragments !" Thi?, too, under a Democratic Administration under Gen. Pierce, the strictest Constructionist and purest State Rights man in the Union ! To be sure, his father was an old fashioned, black-cockade Federalist and it is presumed the son was reared in his father's principles ! But we were told tlat was not so: Tho young Frank lin was an exception to the common rule bred among Federalists, he ' was, nevertheless, the most stringout of Republicans 1 We now sec the result of such calculations I We hope when "the citadel of the Constitu tion of the United States shall be scattered into fragments,' it will be borne in mind by whom the foul deejl is perpetrated !" JJgy The Raleigh " Standard," in its eager exultation at tbe result of the recent Guberna torial election in Tennessee, seems to have overlooked the fact, that Andrew Johnson owes bis triumph mainly to the advocacy of a measure, which that paper has lost no oppor tunity of denouncing as allied to Abolition in its tendencies. We refer to the White Basis! We all remember how vilely John Kerr was as sailed, when he was falsely accused of favor ing a change from the present to that same White Basis. Is An-drew Johnson right in favoring it, and is his election, then, really so glorious a result in the eyes of the " Standard?" The Florida Journal, a locofoco paper, gives vent to some fearful apprehensions on the effects of the Pacific Railroad question. ... It thinks it "can foresee in this subject a wedge for dividing the Democratic party." The fears of the Journal are too true, alas 1 Things do have an awful squinting that way, but a "De mocratic" Administration has done it all. No body else is to blame. ' " The Democrats of this District, it is true, have been divided, not on principle, but about men; but divisions of this sort must, in the very nature; of things, soon terminate. There are some si thousand and five hundred Demo crats in this District, and we venture to say that, so far'as principles are concerned, they are together! almost to a man. Future contests will show this to be so." Standard. Why, we really believed up to this time, that the contest io this District had been for princi ples, not mer. The party. was assured that it was not peronal hostility to Mr. Venable, but condemnation of his course upon the Distribu tion and Cuba questions, that induced opposition to him. He' was thrown overboard, because he leaned rather too strongly to Whig measures, while Mr. Lewis, a new man, and therefore neither the object of particular affection, or ob noxious to ; dislikes, was made the standard bearer of principle. Mr. V. will be surprised and mortified to learn that it was Mr. V., as the man, and not as the partizan, hat caused the split in the ranks. Fire. A pew wooden building, in the South Western suburbs of this City, the property of Caroline Sorrell, was entirely consumed by Fire, on Wednesday night last. RAVAGES 10F THE FEVER AT NEW OR ' LEANS. New Orleans, Aug. 18. The fever con tinues on the increase, and the mortality is fearful. During the past forty-eight hours end ing this moriing there have been reported by the Board of. Health in all 410 deaths, of which 366 were of yellow fever. The weather con tinues exceedingly unfavorable, with alternate hot and cold,, and frequent rains. Distress and suffering indescribable increase with each suc ceeding hour. Business is almost entirely sus pended, the wharves deserted, and all presents the appearance of a solemn Sabbath.

Private advices re ceived herefrom Mexico report that much ex citement existed in consequence of Santa Anna having re-established a direct tax, and ordered an army of 92,000 men to be raised, on the pre tence of waging war with the United States, but in reality to strengthen himself in power. He also proposes to raise a loan of $17,000,000at 3 per cent, interest, by mortgaging the church property, to be paid back in annual instalments of $1 ,000,000. The clergy, it is supposed, would resist it. The order for the return of the Jesuits, has finally passed.
