RALEIGH. N C. !
SATURDAY MORNING, AUG. 5, 1854. f
THE ELECTION. j-
On yesterday, (Thursday,) the People of North
Carolina exercised the elective franchise, the
dearest right of an American freeman, -for th?
purpose of determining who shall 6e their Gov
ernor, and who shall make their laws, for , the
next two years. In urgijjr, the claims of AtrRsn
Pckkkrt, we have been impelled by a hfartf'elt
and abiding confidence in his integrity and pa
triotism. We have urged his claims, because
we believed that the interests and prosperity of
the State would be best promoted by his elec
tion. We arc of that opinion still and we
conscientiously believe that a large majority of
the freemen of North Carolina are with ns.
And so believing, we confidently calculate that
Altkid Dockkhf is, at this moment, Governor
elect of North Carolina !
., In our feeble way, we have labored with all
our ability to bring about such, a result, and the
Whig Press of the State has labored with , a
Zealand earnestness deserving eucoess; jet
never has a canvass been conducted with a more
reckless and unscrupulous disregard of the rules
ot honorable warfare, of fairness, decency , and
truth as the one through which we have just
passed, never has a Candidate been more gross
ly slandered, vituperated and abused than Gen.
Dockery has been. Despite all the misrepre
sentations of his foes, however, he has come
out of the conflict like virgin gold from the crtf
cible, untarnished by the base invectives which
have been heaped upon him.
In a few davs. we shall know the result of
the contest, when we hope to be able to an
nounce the election of a Whig majority in the
Legislature, and the restoration of North Car
olina to her former proud position as the van
guard of Whig States f
In this city the Election passed off quietly.
We subjoin the vote !

v THE LATE SAN JUAN AFFAIR.
We invite, the attention of onr readers to the
subjoined narrative, which we copy, from the
"New York Courier and Enquirer," giving the
facts which led to the recent bombardment of
Greytown by the American-War Vessel, Cyane.
If the circumstances be as they are detailed by
the ' Coureir & Enquirer,' "we know no measure
of condemnation too severe for the wanton and
high-handed act of atrocity which has thus been
comitted by order of the present administration ;
and we hope the press of the' whole Union will
not fail to speak out, and characterize it in' the
terms of severe censure it so richly merits.- -The
whole affair, according to the most reliable
accounts which bave met our eye, is simply this :
Captain Smith, in the employ of the Nicaragua
transit company, was engaged in transporting
passengers in a small steam ef on the San Juan
River", and while so engaged he' shot a Native
who was navigating a small craft on the same
River. On reaching Qrejtown, Smith went on
board of an Ocean Steamer .belonging to the
Company, when the authorities attempted to ar
rest him. 'The arrest was successfully resisted
by Smith arid the crew of the Steamer, and by
the interference of Mr. Solon Borland, who or
dered them off and enforced his order by the
aid of a rifle. In the evening Mr. Borland went
ashore to the house of our commercial agent,
which was soon surrounded by a crowd who
threatened to arrest him. The Mayor of Grey -townsoon
Came up and declared the proceedings
of this crowd to be without autherity or coun
tenance from him, when the mob shortly there
after dispersed some one in the meanwhile hav
ing thrown a fragment of bottle which struck
Mr. Borland; but he was not thereafter moles
ted. On his return to this country. Mr. 8. made
a representation of the matter to the authorities
at Washington, who immediately despatched a
vessel of War either to obtain reparation or to
avenge the indignity. Capt. Ilollins, of the Cy
ane, on reaching San Juan, demanded an apolo
gy, and also the payment of $20,000, as indem-,
nity to the transit Company. The demand was
refused, and thereupon the place was first bom
barded, and then set on fire and burned, where- j
by property to the extent of a half million of
dollars was wholly destroyed, and the inhabi
tants left in a state of geat destitution and Buf
fering !
The first enquiry which arises is, what was
the relation which Mr. Borland occupied to the
authorities of Greytown, and what was the pe
culiar dignity with which he was, at the time,
invested, which warranted this summary inter
posit:on and terrible vengeance in his behalf,
by the Government of' the United States ? He
had been our Minister to Central America, but
it is said that he had resigned this post and was
returning home. lie was found there, then, on
ly in the capacity of a private citizen, aiding to
prevent the arrest of an offender against the lo
cal law. Ia this, as we have before said, he
succeeded; and afterwards venturing into the
town while the excitement, consequent on this
act of resistance, was still raging, a mob assem
bles, all countenance or authority for whose
proceedings is at once disclaimed by the Mayor,
and Mr. Borland is stricken with a fragment of
bottle, thrown by an unknown hand, and is not
afterwards molested. Upon this state of facts.
the administration at Washington has caused
this defenceless town to be utterly destroyed.
While we would be tne last to censure any
aamimstration ior upnoiamg dt all proper
means the rights of our citizens abroad, or for
causing at all hazards the dignity of oar Gov
eminent to be respected, yet we cannot forbear
to say, that this seems to us to have been an act
of cruelty and barbarity for which it would be
difficult to find a parallel in the .history of civ
iliied Government. Certainly it has no prece
dent in the past conduct of our own. We feel
bound, therefore,, upon the statement before re
ferred to, to declare this act to have been in our
opinion unwarranted by the law of nations, at
war with every sentiment of courage and mag
nanimity, and justly deserving, as we believe it
will receive, the emphatic condemnation of an
overwhelming majority of the people of the Un-
ted States
"The Nicaragua Transit Company employs a
dozen small steamers on the San Juan river, to
transport passengers from and to their N. York
steamers. I he refusal of the Company to re
oognjze the Government of Greytown has kept
IK in continual uiiiiuuiuei vvmu ut7 auiuunues
in
and people from the first, and a mutually bitter
feeling exists, which hnds vent in numerous an
noyances and reprisals. According to the state
ment of a passenger who witnessed the affair,
Captain Smith, of the Routh, one of the small
steamers, in attempting to make a landing, some
ten or twelve miles above Greytown, came in
contact with a bungo, and a difficulty ensued
with the proprietor of the craft, who levelled his
gun at Captain Smith, but did not fire. The
steamer passed on but was soon after carried
back by the current towards the bungo. Capt.
Smith in the meantime bad got bis rifle ready,
and, when near enough, shot the native captain
of the bungo dead in his tracks. Another pas
senger says that the steamer returned towards
the bungo after the accident, on the suggestion
of an influential person on board, in order to
flog the native for his impudence ; but that in
stead of doing this, Capt. Smith called for his
rifle and with deliberate aim shot him through
the heart. "
" On arriving at Greytown, Capt. Smith went
on board the ocean steamer, where the authori
ties attempted to arrest him, but were prevent
ed from so doing by his resistance, the resis
tance by the crew, and by the interference of
Mr. Borland, our Minister to Central America,
then on his way home, who ordered them off,
and enforced hie order with the aid of a rifle,
on the ground that the United States recogniz
ed no authority at Greytown as competent to
arrest and try an American citizen. In the
evening, Mr. Borland went on shore, to the
house of our commercial agent, Mr. Fabins,
which was soon surrounded by a crowd who
threatened to arrest him. After some alterca
tion, the Mayor came up, and stated that the
proceedings were without authority or counte
nance from him The mob soon after dispersed,
after some one had thrown a fragment of a bot
tie whijh struck Mr. Borland in the face, and
Mr. Borland was not farther molested, bat all
boats from the ships were kept off the shore by
the excited inhabitants till the next morning'
SAD ACCIDENT, -Charles
Finch, a worthjf and industrious cit
izen of the county, was killed in this .City, on
Thursday, while assisting to raise a Democratic
pole. The pole falling on him, his skull was
crushed, and he' survived i but a fe m'moments.'
He leaves a wife and two Children. The mel
ancholy; occurrence is the subject f universal
arid profound regret.
New American Charges. The Washington
Star of Saturday last, says :
"From what is said just now among the lead
ing Democratic members of Congress.-we have
come to the conclusion that yesterday,, or on
the day before, the President tendered to Col.
Jno. H. Wheeler, of North Carolina, the
Chargpship to Nicaragua, and to Martin of
Nashville, Tennessee, editor of the Union, of
that city, the post of Charge to Guatemala. As
it ia hardly to be presumed that either will re
fuse' such offices, these appointments may fair
ly be considered as made."
The u Union" has a leader distinctly in
timating the necessity of placing at the Presi
dent's disposal some millions of dollars to use
during the recess in negotiating with Spain. 'It
refers to existing disturbances in Spain, and
closes thus :
"We repeat that a few millions at the disposal
of the President, during the recess of Congress, V
xnqy brmg our negotiations to apeacejul and hap
py consummation.''
The San Joan Sufferers. A meeting of
ten American citizens, whose property was de
stroyed by the United States ship-of-war Cydne,
at San Juan del Norte, was held at the Irving
House in New York on Friday afternoon last,
to take the matter into consideration, and adopt
such measures as may be deemed necessary.
The meeting adopted a resolution to petition
Congress for indemnification, and a business
committee consisting of three persons was ap
pointed to carry the resolution into effect.
We are indebted to Pomerov for Har
per's Magazine for August, ahead, if possi
ble, of any of its predecessors. Price twenty-
five cents.
The New York Herald endeavors to
prove that San J uan was, in fact, an American
town, and observes :
"The bombardment and destruction of San Ju-
an.was, therefore, the bombardment and des
truction of ade facto American town. Nor is
this all. A majority of the houses and proper
ty of the place, not belonging to Americans, be
longed to the people of Nicaragua, to whom we
profess friendship, and not to Lnelshmen, Mos
quitos, or Jamacai negroes. Had the gallant
ilolhns come into the North River, and bom
barded and burnt Hoboken, he could not have
damaged his own countrymen more effectually.
Those who instructed him the Administration
could not have struck a more deadly blow at
American influence or American enterprise in
that part of the world. Excepting the natural
feeling of irritation, caused by the disregard of
the interests ot a tew ot their own countrymen,
we imagine the sardonic joy of the Englishmen,
on board the British war schooner Bermuda, in
witnessing the extermination of the Americans
by their own countrymen." '
ROW AT CAPE MAY.
i - :
A violent fracas came off at one of the houses
at Cape May between a party of three Virgin i
ans and a number of the colored men (waiters)
at said bouse on Wednesday evening last about
8 o'clock. It grew out of a colored boy having
deceived one of the Virginians, for which he
smacked his jaw with his right hand, when the
father ;of the boy, a very large and powerful
man, who was by and saw him strike the blow,
seized a stick of wood and then an axe. and at
tacked the Virginian, when he drew his dirk,
and the matter ripened into a violent fracas.
One of the Virginians was knocked down
whilst one of the colored men; had his face ter
ribly bruised and puffed about his eyes during
the fracas, in which, if I mistake not, the three
Virginians were involved, and most of the col
ored men, before it terminated. After the fr
eas, the head waiter, (also a colored man) fre
qoently went to the landlord and pressed him
to get him to turn the Virginians out of the
house that night, but be refused, stating that
they themselves had said they would leave the
next morning, and he was satisned they would,
The next morning the parties were brought
before Court, when the Virginians compromised
the matter by paying their attorney $250, and
the costs of court. The money was advanced
by the landlord of the house where the affray
occurrea.

"ThefoUowingexampleof Court Room etiquette
occurred In a certain town in Missouri some
ten or twelve years ago. It is to be hoped such
scenesar less frequent in that region nowadays,
although many laughable occurrences in Wes
tern courts of "distant judicature" are even now
often reported in the newspapers. j
"Judge Somebody, f the county of Some

popular man moreover,, for he is not above "ta

ther thai is, "occasionally." On the bench,
however, be is an entirely different individual;
a sound lawyer, and holding the scales of justice
with a grave dignity worthy of half a dozen
"Somebodies" rolled into one. j
One dy, during a very interesting case, a
very tall aud very solemn-looking individual,
further solemnized by a very broad-brimmed
beaver, entered the court-room, walked forward
toward thl railing, and, without- removing his
hat, sat down opposite the surprised and offen
ded legal dignitary. , j
"Mr. tShjenif, said the Judge, "tell that man
to take his; hat off." '
"The Sheriff walked over to the transgressor.
and remarking that 'the rules of the court must
be observed," gently removed the broad brim
from the head, and desposited it in the lap of
the owner.
"Why, Judge," exclaimed the latter, in a
shrill tone 5of surprise, 'Fm bald !' and he im
mediately replaced his covering. j
"lhe Juqge had not perceived this second at
tempt at tile moment, having been engaged in
re plenishipg his mouth with a fresh "chew" of
tobacco, ini order to aid his ruminations ; but
again looking forward, the hat once more loom
ed up bofore him. j
"Mr. SshQrijf I said he, with even more than
seventy, 'tell that man to take his liat off."
"lhe officer again waited uoon the offender,
and removed his beaver a second time.
"But, Judge, I tell you I'm bald!' cried the
victim, in a tone of increased surprise at the of
ficial lack of consideration for his condition ;
at the same; time, once more, and with great de
termination, 'thatching himself.'
"lhe Judge was a picture to look at. 'Mr,
Clerk,' said; he, in a voice whose solemn calm
was 'calculated,' whether it did or not, to 'search
the man, 'enter up a fine of five dollars against
Mr. C , lor retusing to take his hat off when
ordered by the Court.'
"Mr. C immediately 'straightened him-,
self up,' walked his six feet six, surmounted by
his cloud ot; beaver, straight up to the bar of
the Court, pulled from his pocket fifty cents,;
and squirting through his teeth ajet of tobacco

" 'Wal Judge, here's fifty cents, which, with
four dollars and a half you owed me when we
stopped playing 'poker' last night, makes us
about even, I. reckon!'
" ' Ah-a um-a-wah Loo oh, Mr. Sheriff, you
will not suffer the Court to be interrupted,' said
the J udge.
"Before the 'Court had recovered its articu

out as solemnly as he had entered."
"In these days as in former days when pa
tent medicines for the cure of every known ill
to which flesh is heir so abundantly abound,
this anecdote of Nathans, Reuben Nathans
whose " Chinese Balsam of Life," and " Cele
brated Hair-invigorating Lotion," made so
much noise some fifty years ago, will touch the
risibles of many at least among the older rea
ders of "The Drawer:"
"When the ' Doctor's ' medicines were first
announced to the world, a simple-minded labor
ing man purchased one bottle of the Lotion
and another or the Balsam, for bis wife, who
had a consumptive cough of many years' stand
ing, and was besides threatened with the total
loss of her hair, lhe woman used both reme
dies according to directions, and as is usual
with ignorant people, in such cases, thought
they were really doing her a vast deal of good.
The cough seemed to her to be going away
rapidly ; she ' breathed freer,' while her hair
appeared to be coming back again thicker than
ever, as a 'natural consequence, she telt very
great confidence in the medicines; and when
the first lot of Balsam was all used, she sent
her husband :to get the bottle filled again. The
doctor asked "the man how the medicine opera
ted? " Oh, grandly 1' replied the husband ; ' my
wife's cough's e'en a' most gone, and her hair's
all coming back again as fiery as ever.'
" Ah,' said the doctor, that's the way my
medicines always work. There's no mistake
about them. They are just what I call them,
the greatest wonders of the age.' I 'spose
you've no objection to give me your affidavit?"
" 'Oh, no,' replied the man, ' that's just what
my wife wants me to do.'
" The couple then repaired to the mayor's of
fice, where an affidavit was drawn up, sworn
to, and witnessed. On returning to the doc
tor's shop, the quack took up the empty bottle
for the purpose of refilling it. Uncorking it,
he put it to his nosa and smelt of it.
" Why, what can this mean?' he exclaimed,
in some astonishment ; and then, after looking
at the label, he smelt ot it again. 'Why, sir,
this isn't balsam, though the label says so, but
the ' hair lotion 1
" Hair lotion or not,' replied the man, point
ing to the bottle, ' that s what cured my wife s
dreadful cough, and the stuff in the other bot
tle at home is what made her hair grow again !'
" 'Btrange ! strange I repeated the doctor,
with a puzzled countenance; 'I don't know
what to make of; it. Will you be kind enough,
sir, just to step back and get me the other bot
tie the hair lotion, I mean ?'
"The man did so, and soon returned -with
the lotion bottle. The doctor took it, and ap
plied bis nose o the mouth.
" And this,"; said be, is just as surely the
balsam as the other is the lotion. Don t you
think there Was some mistake on your part, sir ?
Are you sure that what was in this bottle made
your wife's hair grow again ?'
'" Just as sartain as I'm alive' replied the
man ; for 1 always turned it.out myself, while

"The doctor sat down in a chair, and, laying

a nnger on nis nose, seemed ourieain protound
thought.
"Ah II seel : he at length exclaimed, and
jumping up, be filled the empty bottle again.
There, sir, said be, giving it to the man, and
hurrying him to the door ; 'all's right, sir ; I was
a little bothered, that's all. Call again when
that's gone, and you shall have another for

" The French people are proverbially polite ;
nor in any thing do they exhibit their polite
ness more agreeably to a stranger and a foreign
er, than in never laughing at those who make
mistakes in their language. We cannot help
thinking, however, that even a Frenchman ,
would have laughed at an Englishman, had he
made the mistake in Paris that a Frenchman
made not many months ago in London:
"Newly arrived in the metropolis, he was im
patient to see the town, but fearful of not find
ing his way back to his hotel, he carefully
copied upon a card the name painted on the
corner wtll pif the building, supposing, that to
be the name of the house, or at least of the
street that it was in. This done, he felt him
self safe, and set out for a ramble, much upon
the principle commonly known as 'following
one's nose.' J :
"The whole day long he strolled and stared
to his heart's content. Wearied at last, he
jumped into a cab, and with the easy, confident
air of a man who feels 'perfectly at home,' he
read from the card which he had prudently pre
served the name of the street he had dwelt in.
The cabman grinned horribly.
" 'This English pronunciation is sadly diffi
cult,' said the Frenchman to himself ; 'he does
not understand me 1' and he placed the card be
fore the man's eyss.
"The cabman grinned more than ever, gaz
ing into the passenger's astonished face, and
ended by sticking his hands into his pockets,
and roaring with laughter.
1 he toreigner was indignant. lie appealed
to the passers-by. One and all, they gravely
listened to him at first, but upon beholding his
card, even Adjoined in chorus with the coach
man. "The Frenchman now became furious. He
swore, stamped, gesticulated like a candidate
for Bedlam. He even went so far as to threat
en the laughers, which only made the matter
worse. A crowd assembled, and every body
sympathized with the Frenchman until they
learned the circumstances of the case, when
they too joined in the infectious hilarity.
"By-and-by up came the police, those guar
dian angels of bewildered foreigners in the
great labyrinth of London. The aggrieved
Gaul felt sure of sympathy, succor, and re
venge. Ife was never more mistaken. The
gentlemen in blue roared with the rest. They
evidently could not help it. Compunction min
gled with their mirth nevertheless they guf
fawed exceedingly.
"To what extremities the desperate French
man might have proceeded, it is impossible to
say, had not a gentleman acquainted with his
language appeared upon the scene. He too,
laughed violently on examining the card ;
and when he had spoken a few words to the
frenchman, the frenchman laughed likewise,
which was the signal for the commencement of
a general hilarity.
lhe address so carefully copied by the for
eigner at the corner of his street, and for which
he was inquiring the way, was the following :

Dysentery, Diarrhcea, and Summer Complaint.
TN presenting this justly celebrated Medicine to
I the public, we make no rash assertions of its
eiricacy, nor is any hope held out to the afflicted,
which tacts do not warrant.
. This remedy having been, for years, used in this
place, for the cure of the above diseases, and those
appertaining to the same class, the- Proprietor has
been induced to oner it on a more extensive scale,
with a view to lessen the amount of human suffer
ing. I have never known it to fail, when the Di
rections were strictly adhered to.
Many useless nostrums have, been palmed upon
the public, and I hesitated for some time, until
thoroughly convinced of its efficacy.

Extract of a letter received from S. J. Carroll:
Baltimore, Jan. 10th, 1S53.
Wh. H. Lippitt, Esq., Dear Sir : I have no
hesitation in saying that your Specific is one of the
best Medicines extant for Dysentery, Diarrhoea, &c.
You possibly may recollect my case; if it has es
caped your memory, I will give you briefly the
facts. 1 had tried everything that I had seen used,
but with little success. And after using enough to
start twenty-five Homeopathic M. D's., I began to
despair, when you kindly offered me your invalua
ble Medicine, which cured me effectually.
Yours truly; : S. J.'CAKROLL.
Wilmington, N. C, Aug. 14, 1853.
Wa. H. Lippitt, Esq., Dear Sir : I have used
your specific in two cases in my family for Dysen
tery. Inone,ia spoonful effected a complete cure
in the other, three had the like effect.

Wm. II. Lippitt, Esq., Dear Sir : It is with plea
sure. 1 state that I have used your Specific for the
cure of. Dysentery, Diarrhosa, &c, and have found
it . to produce the desired effect in every cae I Used
it, after the usual remedies have failed. I recom
mend it -with confidence to the public. .

Mr.Wm. H. Lippitt, Dear Sir ; It is with plea
sure 1 acknowledge the wondeful effects of your
Medicine for curing Diarrhcsa or Bowel Complaint,
as I am satisfied it was the means, under God, of
saving the life, first of my child; and then of my
brother. As my brother was given up by two of
the most emirient physicians in this place, Drs.'
Richardson and Wregg; and when I consulted the
latter, as to the propriety of trying it on him so
low,, he said I might, to satisfy myself that I had
left nothing untried, but he did nor think that med
icine would. bof any use to him. But, thank God,
he was mistaken, as we saw the salutaty effects in
24 hours, arid in ten days he was able to be out of
bed. . .
I remain yours, very truly and gratefully,
