OUR NEW YORK CORRESPONDENCE. Over x.trnes i sof stock and gambling operations-- PmnrteA failure of the St. Nicholas hotel The hotel system at the North The law's delay f Justice and wild beasts. j New York, July 22,1854. Sehuylerism is now the new fact of the time The over issues of stock in New York, Phila delphia, and New England, already amount to nearly thirteen millions of dollars, and not 6ne of the swindlers will get either the halter or the penitentiary. The other day I read an accouat of a youth who was executed at Pokeepsie, du ring the revolutionary war, for passing a coun cerieit dollar, and a few days befort Mr. Schuy ler's fraud became known, he blew du terribly against a conductor who failed to account for a single railroad ticket. Where there is the moat trade and finance, there stock gamblers, and the disasters attending them, most abound.- The Suuth is comparatively free from these pe riodic calamities. She is more debtor than creditor, but her great mineral deposits afford strong temptations to enter the arena of specu lation. It is a new era for North Carolina, but if there are fools who have money to spend in gambling companies, they are free to do it, pn v'ded they do it honestly, and do not entan gle innocent victims in their operations. liast weet it was currently reported in tne city that the St.' Nicholas hotel had failed, or made mi assignment in favor of the wealthy mercantile house of A. T. Stewart & Co. The proprietors contradicted it in the Tribune of Monday morning, but, nevertheless, it is thought by some that they have made a mortgage to the above mentioned firm to secure them for liabilities in tegard to furnishing materials. Thin is hot improbable, in as much as hotel business has not been so lucrative tn is year as last, and the expenses of this mammoth estab i i . . , i 1 1 i UMimeni ,nave oeen oeyonu ait preceueni.--There are three sets of owners to the building. Mr. Lonbut owns the lower end, Mr. Haight the middle, and the Loriiiards the upper cor ner of Spring st. The rent of the whole is $ 105,000 per annum. The furnishing cost nearly $200,000. Toe number of servants is about 750. For the last six months the hotel has sometimes been one half or two thirds full, and the proprietors have been paying ah enor mous rent for waste room. It is estimated to accommodate a thousand guests. As a general rule, the families of proprietors reside in the hotel kept by them, but this is not the case at the St.' Nicholas. Mr. Treadwell lived in 23rd st., a fashionable locality, Mr. Acker has a country residence on the North River, and Mr, Whitcomb dwells in the eastern part of the cityj These outside residences are so much addition; a! expense, Honey too has been scarce ond provisions Unusually high. If the St Nicholas had no debt hanging over it, its career would perhaps be safe enongh. The stores on the ground floor svr ? sub-let, which eases the rent pome thirty thousand dollars or more, but Messrs. r.aton fc C occupied one of the failed a few daysago, and perhaps others will follow -suit, as no business here Mill justify such exorbitant rents. After many years, if jlie St. Nicholas should pay ofF its furnishing debt, the finery would be poor capital in hand, and w ould not bring a third of its original cost. The prospect therefore is not a very flattering ne, and the business is a break down one. There is too much cost, show, and glory in it, which are always poor investments, and ruin nis to kingdoms, governments, and individuals.

Gales t The candidate for the Guber natorial Chair addressed an immense concourse Dockery led off in a speech two hours in length delighting the Whigs and astounding the De mocracy ; and I assure you, Mr. -Editor, the ; "Pee Dee Farmer" proved himself well worthy of being the. standard-bearer of that great con servative party, whose principled be is so nobly advocating. His plain unassuming manner and straight forward open, undeviating course, and the sledge-hammer like blows which he dealt his competitor, drew forth thunders of ap plause, and touched a chord in the bosoms of the VVbigs of the mountains that will reverbe rate with redoubled force at the ballot box on the 3rd of August. Mr. Bragg seemed weari ed, worn and evidently sick of, the canvass; his voice was subdued and weak, until, writhing un der the charges which were proven, that he would'nt borrow money to extend the Central R. Road, nor trust the West in a restricted couvention, he made an appeal to the sympa thies of the few democrats who were preeeot, begging them, at least, to stand by him, and promising that all should be right in the East. During this appeal, the democrat, who was in the convention that nominated Bragg, wa9 seen to shed tears, but whether they , were tears of mortification, chagrin or sympathy, there is some difference of opinion ! There was an effort, on the part of Mr. Bragg, to lend a helping hand to the candidate of the democracy (W. W. Avery) in this coun ty for the Legislature. lie stated that the Western people were indebted to democrats as well as Whigs for the passage of the bill estab lishing the Central Rail Road, and pointed out Mr. Avery as being one of them. Mr. T. II. Caldwell promptly rose and said to Mr. Bragg, that he was speaking off the record, that Mr, A. was not the representative of this county, at the session which the bill passed I Mr. Bragg apologized and Mr. A 's friends hung their heads. The Westers reserve is right, and will roll up a heavier majority for Doclcery than for any Whig since MoreheaiTs lime, maugre the ef forts of Clingm an, Edney and others of that stripe !

After much de. bate the bill was passed ayes 36, noes 1.1 and the title so amended as to express the ob ject, in part, to wit : "An act to provide a home stead for actual settlers, to graduate the price j or the public lands to purchasers and actual set tlers, ami for other purposes.' The bill to pro Vide for the payment of the Texas debt was pas- j Bed by a vote of 27 to 19. This bill appropri ates eight and a half millions of dollars. f j In the course of the day the Senate held a J long Executive session, and afterwards passed several bills. ; In the House of Representatives the bili from the Senate authorizing the extension of ,the Alexandria and Washington Railroad into the District of Columbia was passed, with an amendment authorizing the extension of the Railroad from Baltimore to some point on the Potomac river opposite to and near the city of Alexandria. : The House entertained a question of privilege, on motioti of Mr. Bayly, of Virginia, and order ed a committee to be raised to investigate cer tain charges made against that gentleman in regard to his action upjn the payment of the Mexican indemnity under the treaty of Guada lupe Hidalgo. The House then took up the private bills on the Speaker's table, of which more than a dozen were passed anioig them one to allow a pen sion to Mrs. Pamela Brown, widow of Major General Jacob Brown, late of the United States Army, at the rate of $50 per month from Fe bruary, 1838.

It is positively assert ted here that Commissioner Gregg has nearly concluded a treaty annexing the Sandwich Is lands to the United States, with the approbation of the President. The only unsettled question, it is said, is whether they shall come in as a State. The St. Loufa Herald of July 12th tells, with apparent faith in its truth, a case where a child became fascinated with a black snake. This child, the Herald states, had for a long time' been pining ajvay without any known disease. She could not be prevailed upon to eat anything in her father's house, but would take a piece of bread and go to the bank of a creek. Her fath er followed her secretly, and saw a large black snake male its appearance and would express anger by hissing when the child took a bite-of bread. Thv next day the father shot the snake, as it made its appearance. The child swooned, but on recovering from that state was seized with spasms, and contortions resembling the snake's, and died at the same moment of the death of the shake. FAYETTE VILLE MARKETS.

I Mr. Bragg, in order to screen himself from the charge ot opposition to Internal Improve- i ments up to the time of his nomination as the J Democratic candidate for Governor, says that j no measure of Internal improvement ever came before the Legislature whilst he was a member. !

Ha is a very busy man, rises before day, ad l does all his marketing for his northern es tablishment himself. In the grand establish ments in New York, the stewards do the mark eting. The only exception that I know of, is . one of the landlords of the Prescott House, who rises with the lark, aad does the. marketing himself, selecting the choicest and best of every thing, and this circumstance alone gives supe riority to the table, and reputation to the house. ' The New York hotels are not only more ele gant, but the fare is far more rumptuous than i. rtuerly. The bar-room drinking at nearly ail juf them supersedes much drinking at the table. The celebrated Mason will case has been of ten quoted in the papers. Mr. Mason was a . wealthy individual, who died some fifteen years ago. He had a turn for banking, hoarding, manufacturing chemicals, and land speculating, ail of which was profitable. He had several children, and just before be died, and was al most gone, he executed a will in favor of two daughters, Mrs, Coltfoot Jones, and Mrs. Isaac Johts, nnc disinherited all the others. A son inarricd Emma Wheatly, the actress. Foul play was suspected in regard to the will, and its: validity contested. The family fell to log gerheads, and have been quarreling ever since. After fitteen year3 litigation of a question that might have been settled in fifteen minutes, the Cojurt decided that the will was illegal, so far as j the personal property was concerned, and that that should be distributed. There is to be I unqither set to now to test the legality of the jd.'Vise in respect to the real estate, which is the l!.'St part of the plunder, and is worth over a million. What asses those lawyers and law- louris are! Count Rostopschin said truly, that ' nothing was more to tie dreaded than justice and wild beasts. - Two of the -contestants have died ; Mr. Isaac Jones a few months ago, and Mrs. Emma Wneatly Mason, day before yesterday. She wa$ a lovely-and estimable lady, and was far more meritorious than those other members of the family, who arrogated all the respectability ;and seized upon all the property. W ill making with the rich is precarious bu own county of Northampton. Such is the his tory of the man, whom his party wish to palm off on the people of this State as a good Inter nal Improvement man. Can the people swal low him ? Is he the man for the times ? What claims has he to the Internal Improvement sen ium ant of the country ! None! None!! None!!! lnen let every tnend of Internal Improvement black-ball bim at the ballot box on the 3rd day of August next. Charlotte Whig. VERY COURAGEOUS. Mr. Thos. Bragg, Esq., the democratic candi date for. Governor, boasts (we learn) more than considerable upon the "li ragg blood, and the "Standard" intimat s he will fight. He has lately given an example of moral courage truly sublime. When the candidates spoke in Char lotte, Gen. Dockery read the certificate from Edenton signed by 16 gentlemen, headed by a Methjdist .minister by the name of Evans, which sustained bim in his charge against Mr. Bragg and remarked that the only way bis opponent got out of it, was by heaping abuse upon the Minister. Mr. Bragg denied he had abused him. Gen. Dockery (hen read a certificate from ilHssrs. SamT. H. Walkup and C. T. McCaul ley of Monroe, stating that Mr. Bragg had a bused Mr Evans most vehemently, the day be fore, in that place. ; What then! Capt. Bragg's brotbA opened his battery upon Walkup and McCaulley and j utterly demolrfjed them, did't hef Not at all ! he was as "gentle as a sucking dove." But the scene changed. 1 wo days alter the candi dates spoke in 'Newton and then Mr. Bragg "pitched it" into. May? Walkup, with, the cour age of Don Quixote in his wind mill adventure, and denounced him most furiously and savage ly. Mr. Bragg is a man of discretion'; he knew it would not do to attack Maj. Walkup in Char lotte, for he thought it probable he was sitting under the sound ol his voice and it would not be safe at aqy rate everybody knew him there. But when he got to Newton, he knew there was no danger Walkup was not present and nobody knew him and he let himself loose opened his battery and beat the wind most yalorously Something of the Fayetteville game in that !

BAD NEWS PROBABLE VETO OF THE CAPE FEAR RI1J. i We do not know the sources of information in possession of the Washington correspondent of the Baltimore Sun ; but as he is generally correctly informed about matters transpiring at the Capitol, we fear that there may be too much truth in the statement contained in his letter of the 20th inst., (Thursday) to the effect that " THE PRESIDENT WOULD CERTAINLY VETO THE CAPE FEAR BILL." We say that we fear this report may prove to be correct, and the hopes of our people are, so far as this appropriation is concerned, to be blasted by an arbitrary exercise of thp one man pow er; although we have been led to think differ ently, by the confident assurances of the Journ al here, which were to the effect, that the Presi dent would certainly sign the bill. We shall know the fate of the measure by Monday at all events. The bill passed the House on the 10th, was returned to the Senate and concurred in on the 12th, and sent to the President on that day. The ten days allow e I him by the Constitution to consider, approve, or return the bill with his objections, expires to day. It may be that the President will neither approve, nor return the bill, in which case it would become a law, in like manner as if he had signed it, as appears by the section of the Constitution on the subject, which we append. "Every bill which shall have passed the House of Representatives and the Senate, shall, before it becomes a law, be presented to the President of the United States ; if he approve, he shall sign it, but if not, he shall return it, with bis objections, to that House in which it shall have originated, who shall enter the ob jections at large on their journal, and proceed to reconsider it. If, after such reconsideration, two-thirds of that House shall agree to pass the bill, it shall be sent, together with the ob jections, to the other House, by which it shall likewise be reconsidered, and, if approved by two-thirds of that Ilouse, it ehall become a law. But, in all such cases, the votes of both Houses shall be determined by yeas and nays, and the names of the persons voting for and against the bill shall be entered on the journal of each louse respectively. If any bill shall not be re turned by the President within ten days (Sun days excepted) after it shall have been presen ted to him, tie same shall be a law, in like manner as if he had signed it, unless the Con gress, by their adjourntment, prevent its return, in which case it shall not be a law." We shall know in a dajr-or two. Wil. Herald. We are gratified to announce to our readers a Cathartic Pill, (of which see advertisement in our columns,) from that justly celebrated Phy sician and Chemist, Dr. j. C. Ayer. His Cher ry Pectoral, everywhere known as the best re medy ever offered to the Public for Coughs, &c, has prepared them to expect that any thing from his laboratory'would be worthy of attention. As no one medicine is more universally taken than a Physical Pill, the public will be glad to know of one frjnm such a trustworthy source. We happen to know, and can assure them that this article has intrinsic merits, fully equal to any compound that has ever issued from his Crucibles, and consequently is well worthy a trial whenever such a medicine becomes neces sary.

BRAGG'S ABUSE OF REV. Z. EVANS. We invite the particular attention of our rea ders to the article from the Register relative to a discussion between Gen. Dockery and Mr. Bragg, in which the latter gentleman placed himself in a position so inconsistent and disre putable that it cannot fail to excite the contempt r4ii .11 in aii nonest-ncarteu men. I : This low abuse of the Rev. Mr, Evans, a j maij entirely above reproach, and whose char-' iiotiir ior strong sense, and the highest integrity, ! n,ni)t surpassed by that of any man in North CUrulina, is decidedly the most insignificant a;"l; contemptible trick yet resorted to-by the 'trifiil dodger." This attempt on the part of M js Bragg, deliberately to sacrifice a Minister of ,ie Gog r,cl, to his 'own individual advance K'iit, to prostitute Religion itself to the unholy purposes of personal ambition, and to blast the character of an honest and respectable man, s means to secure his own aggrandizement, anflliP success of his party, 4s as dishonest as it ij, disgraceful, and utterly unworthy of an individual as aspiring, to the highest position in thfl jjState as it is inconsistent with every prin cjiplp of justice, of honor, and of truth, f 1 Old North State. -,'V j J CHOLLKA IN THE WEST, fcO. ! heeling July 21 We still continue to re T,vf ll'"Pfc-he which give an alarming ac unt of the prevalence of the cholera through out the West.

I shall endeavor to. show, Mr, Speaker, in all candor and sincerity on my part, that no justice is done to the party by this definition of its principles. Oa the contrary, it is my deliberate, well attlleil, solemn conviction that the leaden of the party are held together by no other bond what ever. If any individual will only vote with them ; if he will give his influence in carrying elections, and promoting them to office, he will be considered a good Democrat, no matter how opposite his opinions on all questions of public plicy may be to those which tlvey happen to be professing at the time.

The Senate yesterday passed a bill of much importance to a large number of persons who have been awaiting the movements ot Uongress on that subject with commendable patience. It is a bill to provide tor the payment of such creditors of the late Republic of Texas as were comprehended in the act of September 9th, 1850. It provides that in lieu ot the sum ot five millions of dollars, payable under the said act to the State of Texas in five per cent, stock of the United states, (the issuing ot which stock was restricted by one of the provisions of said act,) the Secretary of the Treasury shall pay to the creditors ot the late liepuhlic of lexas, who hold such bonds or other evidences ot debt for which the revenues of that Republic were pledged as were reported to be within the pro visions of the act of the 9th September, 1850, by the report of the late Secretary of the Trea aury to the President of the United States, and approved by him on the 13th daj' of September, 1851, or which come within the provisions of said act according to the opinion upon the Tex as compact of the present Attorney General of the United States, addressed to the Secretary of the Treasury under date of 26th September, 1853, the sum of eight million five hundred thousand dollars, to be apportioned among the said holders pro rata. The interest on the qebt embraced in this act is to be determined by ,the existing laws of the State of Texas: and in. all cases where the State of Texas niayhave paid any portion of the debt above described the Secretary of the Treasury is to refund the same, provided the sum shall not exceed the proportion which would have been allowed to the creditor or creditors if such payment had not been made by the State of Texas. No pay ment is to be made under this act to any hold er of the securities or evidences of debt provided for, unless the holder thereof shall firstrelease all claim against the U. States for or on account of the said securities ; and, before payment of the moneys aforesaid, the Secretary of the Treasury is required to give niuety dys' notice, by pub lic advertisement, of the time at which said payment will be made, and no payment shall be made od any bond, certificate, or evidence of debt which shall not, thirty da s before the time limited by said notice, be presented at the Trea sury Department. This act is not to take effect until it shall be assented to by the Legislature of the State of Texas. Intel , Saturday. IN TIME OF PEACE, PREPARE FOR WAR.
