But one or two desperate encoun ters happened. We saw a mare raise her fore feet over the shoulders of a hussar who was holding a halter at her mouth, and knock him to the earth under her.

His frantic motions compelled those who held the halter to let it go, but the third soldier stuck to his twitch with a tenacity which was the surprise and admiration of all who beheld the contest. . At times he was borne off the ground by the horse, but be never let go ; the horse at length stood still, trembling, mastered probably by the torture of the twitch. He was led back to tbe centre of the sawdust, and for a moment or two seemed to submit to the de sired operation ; but as one of the riggers was passing behina him with the breech cord, the terrified animal onojEiore threw out his hoofs, and in doing so kicTced the rigger in the abdo men. An officer ordered uim to be removed to the doctor's office, and instantly he was taken from the spot in the arms of his mates. We understand the hurt be received, although ago nising for the time, is not likely to be fatal. It was a bare escape with life. After this serious accident, a long rope was procured, ana a noose made at one end. Tms to step on it. 1 he line was jerked, and the noose was fastened on tbe horse's bind hoof. The instant he felt the trammel, he kicked, if possible, more violently than before, and theu darted to and fro with a velocity that made it impossiDle tor any one to hold tbe leg rope. The man with the twitch, however, never let go his hold on the horse's nose, and, after a terriDie scene, tnai maae tne spectators ny to a uisiance oi eaieiy, me gaiiant soiaier had the satisfaction to see the animal stand exhausted by his exertions. He was brought back to the ship's side once more, and the rope fastened to the hoof was brought between his fore legs over ana arouna nis neck, and secured. By this means the horse's power to resist was effec tively diminished ; tbe twitch was then applied to the ear instead of tbe nose. The effect of this treatment was maeical.

Come! eomei'f said Mrs. Gray. you -have been moping there lopg enough, nephew, for- getting manuers ano everytaing eiw. 4re the ; apples waiting, and no one w nana inem around, for when I once get settled: in an easy chair," here the '.good woman gave a smiling survey of her ample person, whicn certainty overflowed the chair at every point, leaving the hack and curving arms ouire invisible "it isn't a very easy thing to get it up again. Now bustle about, and while we old women rest our selves, you and Julia, there, can try your luck with the apple seeds. - " 1 remember the first, time l ever surmisea that Mr. Grav bad taken a notion to me was once when we were at an apple cutting together down m Maine.: Somehow .Mr. Uray nad got into my neighborhood when we ranged round the great basket or apples, l leit my cneeKs burn the moment he drew his seat so close to mine, and took out his jack-knife to begin to work. He fared and I quartered. I never looked up but onae then his cheeks was red der than mine, and he held the jack-knife ter ribly unsteady. By-and-by he got a noble, great apple, yellow as gold, and smooth as a babv's cheek. I was looking at his hands side wise from' under my eye lashes, and saw that he was paring it carefully, as if every round of the skin was a strip of cold. At last he cut it off at the seed end, and tbe soft rings fell down over bis wrist, and I took the apple from his fingers. " Now," said he, in a whisper, bending his head a little, and raising tbe apple peel care fully with his right hand, " I'm just as sure that this will be tbe first letter of tbe name I love, as I am that we are alive." He bezan ewiftly whirling the apple peel round his bead, once, twice, three times. Then he held it still a moment, and sat looking right into my eyes. I held my breath, and so did he. Now,"6ay8 he, and his breath came out with a quiver, M what if it should be your name?" I did not answer, and we both looked back at the same time. Sure enough, it was the letter H. No pen ever made more beautiful. " Just as I expected," says he, and his eyes grew as bright as diamonds "just as I expec ted." That was all he said. " And what answer did you make him, aunt," asked Robert Otis, who had been listen ing with a flushed face. " What did jou say ?" "I didn't speak a word, but quartered on just as fast as I could- As for Mr. Gray, be kept, paring and paring like all possessed. 1 thought he would never stop paring, or speak a word mare." By-and-by he stuck the point of his knife into an apple, and unwinding the skin from around it handed it to me. It was a red skin, 1 remember, and cut as smooth as a ribbon. "Ishjuld'nt a bit wonder if that dropped into a letter G., says Mr. Gray. 'Spose you try it." " ' Well, I took the red apple skin, and whirl ed it three times around my head, and down it went on the floor, curled up into the nicest cap ital G that you ever set your eyes on. " Mr. Gray, be looked at the letter, and then sort of side-wise into my face. S G.' says ho. taking op the apple skin, and eating it, as if it had been the first mouthful of a thanksgiving dinner. How would you l.ke to see them two letters on a new set of stiver spoons ?' " I really believe you could have lit a candle in my face, it burned so ; but I couldn't speak more than if I had been born tongue-tied." "But did you never answer about the spoons?" asked Julia. " Well, ves, I believe I did, the next Sunday night," said the old lady, demurely, smoothing her apron Chat with the Conductor. "It is not often a man loses anything by kindness. I know a little matter of this sort saved my life, and per naps tne lives 01 many others at tne seme time." " ilow was that ?r' asked we of onr mode conductor. " Why, we had an Irishman on this road, watching tbe tunnel, it was warm weather so he used to go intothe tunnel to keep cool I rather think he used to take a little liquor when he was lonesome : any way he laid down on the track one day to listen for the cars. He fell asleep, and very imprudently got bis head cut off by the express train. W ell, there was the last of that Irishman. There was the devil's own row in that shanty when we took the poor fellow up, and got away as decently as we could, for you know it's not agreeable to be surround ed with a distracted family when you are neith er a doctor, nor a nurse, nor a preacher. Some how I was always sorry when I passed that place ; of course I felt as if not exactly the same thing but just as bad might have hap pened to me some day, and then there'd be an other row in the family. I told my wife about it, and she sent the family some little things. The widow of the dead Irishman was a Catho lic, and, as I was then on a very fast train, I would sometimes take up the old woman on Sunday and carry her to church at M. I some how thought it was a satisfaction to her to go to church, for she had but little chance any how. I did not expect to get any thing for it in this world, and I expected they had so much scored against me in tue other, that it wouldn't amount to anything there. " That was during the summer. Oue night the next winter it was very cold, and the moun tains were covered with saow ; we were run ning to make time, when, on turning tbe curve, the engineer saw a waving light on tho track! and we soon beard some one ahead shouting. I was then out on the platform. The engineer stopped the engine, and slacked up; we got out and went ahead in the dark to see wht was the matter. There it was. A large land slide had fallen across tbe track, near tne shanty of that old Irishwoman. She had buiU up a fire and watched for the train, for the curves were su sharp that we might have been upon the slide before we could see it. . So, when we run up, there was tbe old lady with her calico cap, swinging the chunks ot fire like a revolving light house, and there were the little Irish car rying brush like so many little beavers. She had watched all night in the cold. But for her, in another minute we should have run into a pile of dirt and stone as big as Barnum's Ho tel. I should have got a 4 pit ticket,' certain, for I was on the platform. What would have beoome of the passengers and train you can guess as well as I can." " We expressed a hope that the poor widow had been properly rewarded. " Tbe passengers made up about eighty dol lars; the company afterwards gave her the shanty free, and the brakemen and engineer bought her a cow, and she made out very well. But when I handed the money to her that night, she said: "Ointlemen and ladies, I'm thankful, and may we niverknow the wants of what ye give me. But what I did was mostly on account of Aim there. He was kind and thoughtful to the poor and afflicted, and I'd a watched till I froze before harram should have come to him, if I could have helped it." Genius, Talent and Cleverness. Genius rushes like a whirlwind, talent marches like a cavalcade of heavy men and heavy horses, clev erness skims like a swallow in the Summer eve ning with a Bharp, shrill note and a sudden turning. The man of genius dwells with men, and with nature; the man of talent in his stu dy ; but the clever man dances here, there and every where, like a butterfly in a hurricane striking everything and enjoying nothing, but rooiigaiw De aasnea to pieces. The man of laieni win attack theories, the clever man will assail the individual and slander private char acter. The man of genius despises both ; he heeds none, he fears none, he lives in himself, shrouded in the consciousness of his own strength ; he interferes with none, and walks forth an example that "eagles fly alone; thev are but sheep that herd together." It is true, that should a poisonous worm cross his path! he may tread it under foot ; should a cur snarl at him, he may chastise him ; but he will not, cannot attack the privacy of another.

WEDNESDAY, MQRNING, SEPT. 6, 1854. THE OFPIPTAL VOTE THE LATE ELEC- irmvo We give in another column the official vote of the State of North Carolina for Governor, at tbe late election. In our next, we propose briefly to examine this result in its different phases. This may come late in the da v. but absence from our post, on a health-seeking mission, has hitherto prevented us from doing it, as we desired, and as we yet purpose. For the pre'sent, we may simply say, that though, much contrary to our expectations, we have been beaten, we can yet lift up our head from the temporary humiliation with which it i bowed, and nroudlv eav that we have not been conquered. We have made, indeed, as we shall demonstrate, formidable inroads upon tbe strength of the enemy. Another such a Jight, under another so gallant a champion, aud loco- focoism, with all its false pretensions and infa mous practices, will be dead in North Carolina. For that fight we are ready now I The result as to the Legislature only proves that our friends in many of the counties, whether through an overweening and danger ous confidence, or from a lack of proper organ ization, allowed themselves to be out-generalled. This we regret most of all. "Eternal vigilance is," indeed, " the price of liberty." Give us 400 votes to be distributed as we could wish, and we can easily neutralize the locofoco ma jority in the next Legislature. THE APPROACHING FAIR. It will be seen, by the notice in another col umn, that the 1 Mayor has called a meeting of our citizens, for the purpose of taking steps to provide for the accommodation of visitors to tbe State Fair, to be held on the 17th prox. A year ago, we were taken entirely by surprise at the unexpected and extraordinary number of persons in attendance, and there was doubtless just cause f complaint on the part of many who were present, at the scanty arrangements that had been made. We hope that our citizens will bear it in mind now that their reputation for hospitality is at stake, and see that it does not suffer. The improvements at the Fair Qround are handsomely progressing, and its capacity prom ises to be greatly increased. All the indica tions, indeed, point to a great carnival of the agricultural and manufacturing industry of the State an industry upon which the best inte rests of North Carolina are based. THE NORTH CAROLINA PRESS. Beacfort Intslliqencer. We casually no ticed, in a late issue, the appearance of the first number of this journal, under tbe edito rial auspices of Messrs.

Plymouth Villager. The Editor of this staunch Whig journal, whose efforts were so signally felt in the county of Washington, dur ing the recent campaign, proposes, with proper encouragement, to improve his establishment. We trust that the call may not go by unheeded. The faithful advecate of the rights of the peo ple deserves the support of the people. Mount Vernon. We are pleased to learn that the ladies of this Uity have mamterted a proper appreciation of the patriotic proposition that has been made for the purchase, on the part of the daughters of the South, of the Home ( f Washington, and its consequent rescue from desecration. The amount contributed for the purpose is considerable. The Richmond Examiner, the South Side Democrat, the Alexandria Sentinel, Staun ton Vindicator, Abingdon Democrat, Winches ter Virginian, and Danville Republican, all strong locofoco papers in Virginia, are opposed to the Hunter "Land graduation bill," upon the ground that it is a sacrifice of Democratic prin ciples and a violation of tbe Constitution.

The Granville Agricultural Association will hold their first annual Fair at Henderson, on the Raleigh and Gaston Railroad, on Wednesday and Thursday, the 4th and 5th of October next. The occasion will doubtless be a highly interesting one, and we hope may be numerously attended. E. G. Reade, Esq., of Person, will deliver an address before the society. A County Fair will also be held in Cumber land in November and the Hon. A. W. Vena ble is to deliver the Address. Liquor License. The "Tarboro' Southerner" calls attention to a recent decision of the Su preme Court in the License case of Mr. S. E, Moore, of that place. It decided thata License tr ran ted bv the County Court was not valid without the concurrence of the Town Commis sioners. A Family Quarrel. The " Wilmington Journal" retorts very tartly to some insinuations of the "Democratic Pioneer" about "Cape Fear Domination." Don't part 'em. Newspaper for sale The Proprietors of the North Carolinian in Fayetteville offer their es tablishment for sale. It will be sold to none but a democrat. Price $3,000. Know Nothings. The "Fayetteville Caro linian" says that a Know Nothing association is shortly to be organized in that place, and that a number of names have already been pro cured for tbe purpose. It is also understood that the order is already, or is about to be, established in Greensboro', Pittsboro', Hillsboro,' and other places. The Springs. The ' Warrenton News " states that the number of visiters both at Shocco and Jones' has been unusually large this sea son. Of the latter place it speaks in high terms, and of the former it says : "What is most remarkable, we have not heard the first word of complaint of the fare during the season. This is owing to the very liberal outlay by tbe proprietors and the supe rior management of Mr. and Mrs. Gresham, the superintendents. Nag's Head. The "Old North State," whose Editor has recently been to this delightful re treat, speaks glowingly of his visit. He says: "We think Nag's Head destined to become theanoat popular resort in this section of coun try.wnd can see no reason why it should not. Thelbathing is not surpassed by any in the worll the table is always supplied with the best that can be procured the servants are obedient and attentive and there is no pains spared by the Proprietor or his Assistant to make their visitors happy and comfortable." Oca Historian. Col. John H. Wheeler, re cently appointed Charge' de Affairs to Nicara gua, was in Salisbury, on his way-to his resi dence at Beattie's Ford, on Saturday last. It is his intention to spend a few days there to ar range his affairs, before he enters upon bis Mis sion. Counterfeits. The "Fayetteville Observer" calls attention to the fact that many counter feit $10 Bills on the Bank of Cape Fear, hereto fore described, are now in circulation. Tbe counterfeit is well executed; the bills made payable at Salisbury, Fayetteville or Wilming ton. The " New-Berne Atlantic " speaks of a dangerous counterfeit on the: Bank of the State, payable o L. S. Webb, at Windsor, and dated June 1st, 1853. It was a $50 bill, new plate, letter A ; was detected at the Branch Bank in Newbern, but is so well executed, that none but the best judges could ever discover that itwas not a genuine note. Bank, or Cape FeaK. The President, Direc tors and Company of the Bank of Cape Fear will apply to the next Legislature for ad exten sion of the term of their Charter, and an in crease of their Capital Stock. The "Raleigh Standard" has more than once denounced that great politico-theological Nightmare, Know Nothingism, that so fear fully disturbs its slumbers, as an off-shoot of Abolitionism t The New York IHoune, on the other hand, is quite sure that it. was started for the express purpose of " killing off Gov. Seward 1" Such is tbe issue between the two worthies! - I""Gen. Pierce's organ at Washington seems to be enraged : at the existence of the order of Know Nothing. We are astonished at this, as that paper has for a long time been the organ of jn9t such an administration. Guano Cheaper. We are indebted to a friend in Norfolk for the information that this valua ble fertilizer haa been reduced in price $5 per ton.

TK nr omft ticbr.eaenes enacted: at pn- inaryectingti ithState, epecimD of which ) in a Ute number of th Zanesville Courier1. It seems that the party had met to make connry nominations for Muskingum, and had muh trouble in harmo nising the "harmonious."! Eventually, a tick et was nominated, but with some misgivings as to the.pV"speot of success. " A se.ries of thirteen resolutions were offered by Mr. Church, one of thfra endorsing the Ne braska bill and expressing the "most lively satisfaction" with it, on the ground that it would give to the party "pnity and universality and nationalism, instead! of sectionalism." Another declared that they were against all "political heresies, whether they appear in the form, of Abolitionism, the; Buffalo heresy, Na tive .Americanism. Know! Nothmgism, or any other ism.'" But the leaders of the Convention Hflnipd to Mr. Church the right to offer these resolutions, and their consideration was delay ed to hear a speech from Mr. Manypenity, the Commissioner of Indian Affairs, who seems to h Wpt fr.r the nurnose! of looking after the " " - r r ; w welfare of the Deraocrat:cNrtbe8." Then, be fore. any question was taken upon the resolu tions, the Convention adjoiirned. This was ra ther a summary method: of getting rid ot a doubtful isHue. j Mr. Many penny seems to have outlived the memory of one. of President Jackson's strongest nreceDls (what the practice was under it we r 1 shall not stop to illustrate.) It rounded a pe riod in his inaugural, much to the edification of his friends, and was to this effect : "The recent demonstration of public senti ment inscribes on the list :of FiXecuiive duties in -characters too legible to be overlooked,- the task otreform ; whioh will require, particular ly, the correction of those abuses that have brought the patronage of the Federal Govern- ment into conflict with tne- ireeuom or elec tions," Ac. The reading public cannot have forgetten the efforts of "office-holders," hot only during Gen. Jackson's Presidency, bu during Mr. Van Bu ren's and Mr. Polk's. The latest instance was thar in which the Second Assistant Postmaster General, and one of the Auditors, in 1848, were members of a Central loedfoeo Committee, and spoke and wrote with much freedom during that canvaas. "Ours is the party in which effort is com mended, talent appreciated, and devotion to principle rewarded. Standard. The "Raleigh Standard?' is a most proper vehicle for such trumpery as this.' The Editor, himself a renegade, knows something of the sweet of "reward." Locpfocoisra ever stands ready to "reward" treachery. The British, in the days of the revolution, "rewaided" Bene diet Arnold, too. But as ;to "devotion to prin ciple" pah ! Clingmsn j and Rencher may well smile ! 1 i Bgk Thursday last closed the summer months for 1854.

YORK CORRESPONDENCE Avenues in Aw Fork German population ,n Vie vug iieauh, msmess, and trartUinq. Gen. 'McQueen's Book.. ' New York, Sept. 1st. Within the met tenor fifteen 'years, the are- . nues in jew lorx nave assumed an importance which they never possessed before in the old palmy days of Broadway and the Bowerv Broadway still maintains its ascendancy, and ever win, ior us superior sty le 01 shops and fashionable promenading, bnt most of the ave nues are but repetitions ot the iwery in re s poet to the elaes of their inhabitants, their callings and condition. We must alvravs ex cept the &th avenue, so lull 01 magnificent pal. aces, where the elite of the upper ten reside This is the upper crust of the pie, sugared and crumpled an over, iiiero are in ail thirteen avenues in the city, Dut those on the east side of tbe island, especially the avenues A. B. C. and numbers 1 and 2, hold but a subordinate rank. Railroads traverse nearly oil the ave nues with the exception of the Fifth, Madison and Lexington. The lordly Fifth is not even profaned by a grocery or an apothecary. Lip the Strada Nueva at Genoa, its entire length un either; side is resplendent with palaces. Ilertdi tary wealth there looks askant upon the par venue fortunes of to-day ; and rich old dowa gers take the air in stately equipages which vie with the proudest of England's aristocracy But it is rather upon the eastern avenues that we would speak. .Those denominated A. h and C, as well as the 1st and 2d, are inhabited mostly by Germans and Irish. The lower sec tions are well built, and occupied by genwi American families, and very high up are some fine old country seats, private mansions with gardens, and retreats beautifully rural. Km the intermediate spaces are devoted to tene ment houses, stores, groceries, groggeries, an lager bier saloons. The second avenue is now opened by railway as far as 86th street in Yorkville, four mile from the City HalL The high hills in thai avenue have beeu razeed considerably. Dutch Hill at ilO.t clpcat .ctUl LiCit I.. . . iwenty feet or more. A hundred workmen, for tour years, have been working a way through, the granite, ledges at 61st street, adjoining Jones' woods, and have recently accomplished the task. The Germans, now numbering one eighth nearly of the entire population of the city, are peculiar. They are increasing rapid ly, pay little respect to the Sabbath, are fond of music and beer 'drinking, and keep to them selves, being equally ayoided by Irish and Americans. The signs of Lager Bier, Deutsche Wirthenschaft, (inn.) Garten withschaff, (gar den inn,) Deutsche Avocato, (lawyers,) and tin shingles of German doctors are multiplying all oyer the city. German grocers and bakers are very numerous. In Allen street, near Divioion, a Dutchman by the name of Mushfield has a yellowainted signhungout,instribed, Wvnd and Land Artz," the import of which is, that -Mr. Mushfield cures wounds and excracts teeth but none but a Dutchman would ever find it out. The lower classes of Germans and Dutch devote themselves to occupations whiph are looked upon with contempt by everybody elae. They are chiffoniers or rag-pickers, and villa nous mynheers are employed in the repulsive business of removing the night soil, making only a dollar wages per night, hjje the head boss pockets the large Vti. anoTrides in his carriage? This willingness to' accept of the most menial employments, to perform any servile work for money, added to their frugal habits where lahor is always high, will tend to fasten a Targe Ger man population upon this city. They have monopolized Greenwich street, below Courtland, (called Little Germany,) and are overflowing above and below Canal street, in the back streets where rents are comparatively cheap. The neighborhood is nothing to these outside bar barians. Any hovel will do, and they herd to gether like eatfle. Cheap rents have driven crowds of them over to the inferior avenues al ready mentioned. Their love of music brings the sexes together,' like the French, and their passion for beer makes them quarrelsome and contentious. They often wrangle like demons, and Sunday is the great day for their Satur nalia. Radical and licentious, thev hv nn ra tional estimation of liberty, and would remove the restraints of religion by abolishing its insti tutions. They are Catholics, Protestants, Jews, and infidels. The Jews follow the trade of all other Jews, and carry on a traffic in boyB' and men's clothing. During the first three days of this present week, more than a thousand emigrants arrived here on each day, and the most of them Ger mans. The emigrant encounters many trials and hardships. He arrives on our shores often poor in purse, destitute of friends, and sick in body. The mortality among them is frightful. Flying from oppression, a great many encoun ter new forms of sufferings and hardships, grapple with diseases more violent than for merly, and thousands of them land here only to die. They are regarded with almost as little compassion as the herds of cattle which are driven through our streets. A few who happen to hare means are frequently pounced upon bj city sharks and harpies, called " Emigrant Runners," who rob them of all. Happily for us and for society, the regenerating influences of our free Institutions, while they offer a safe asylum to the oppressed and down-trodden of every clime, possess the power also of eleva ting and redeeming, and ot making good citi zens out of the most discordant materials. But, although the Dutch have taken Holland, we should not like to see them take possession of New York. The public health is good, and the cholera has so far subsided that daily reports are no longer issued, and the cholera hospital will soon be afcsed. Business is stagnant, and com parativeijbw merchants have come in, but the city is evidently fuller of strangers, Broadway is more crowded, and the hotels better filled. Gen. McQueen's book, The Orator's Touch stone," appeared a week or two ago. It is written in a sprightly style, so floent that it lacks condensation. Didactic works meet with slow appreciation,-and lie out of the track of general popularity. Fame, through such a medium, is exceedingly bard to win. Those who believe themselves born for oratory will find some good hints in this little volume. It is ehiefly designed for lawyers who are, as a Srofession, loquacious if not eloquent. As the reneral has recently been elected to a judge ship in Texas, be may in time give us a book on Judges, which is more needed than the other. The country is full of jack-leg judges. Let us have the mysteries of the craft. It would be something rich. CM. THE CORN CROP. Cincinnatti, Aug. 29. Advices received bere from Tennessee, Alabama, and Georgia speak favorably ofthe corn crop and through out most of the Western States there have b en refreshing rains, which have greatly improved the condition of the crops. The indications now are that, taking the country through, the yield will not be much below a fair average. Quick Digestion Healthy Food. Of all tbe articles of food, boiled rice is digested in the shortest time an hour. As it contains eight-tenths nutritious matter, it is a valuable substance for diet Snipe and pigs' feet are di gested almost as quickly. Apples, if sweet and ripe, are next in order. Venison is digested about as soon as apples. Roasted potatoes are digested in half tbe time required by the same vegetables boiled, which occupy more than 3 hours more than beef or mutton. Bread oc cupies 3J hour: -stewed oysters and boiled eggs are digested in 4, an hour more than is required by the same articles raw. Turkey and goose are converted in 2J hours an hour and a half sooner than chickens. Roasted veal, pork, and salt beef, occupy 5 hours the long est of all articles of food. Scientific American.
