And yet this same Washington Union, not long er ago than a few short : months,., connived at, coquetted with, absolutely courted the Know No tbinga, in the oHowing unequivocal and signi ficant language : vr hr taking its position it should be oarefully borne in mind that the Democratic party neither assumes that the naturalisation laws, as they now exist, are perfect, nor that foreigners have not, on some occasions, subjected themselves to just censures, nor that the Roman Catholic re Ution la based upon tae true vorisuau greeu. Ottisenship is a boon granted to foreigners by the liberality of our institutions, and this fact cahnot be loo carefully weighed and appreciat ed by our foreign citisens. They should con stantly remember that the high privileges con ceded to them have been granted upon the ex pectation that they would surrender their dis tinctive native nationalities, and become futed and assimilated to our native citizens in all their leehuffa. sentiments, and devotion to our liberal institutions. It becomes them now, in view of the late significant expression ot popu lar feeling, to consider well whether in their oast conduct they niaj not have given occasion to much of the ODDoeition which exists against thtn. Native Americana are justly proud of their high prrrogatives and they are naturally jealous of anything like foreign influence upon their institutions. Id these sentiments and feel in irs we participate to the fullest extent, and it ta because we do that we so earnestly repel the imputation that the democratic party has pur- r. -ii : 1 : tinea, or win ever pursue, hu ureuuirj puuvj, in order to conciliate the foreign vote. Natura lised citisens ought to see, in the immense in crease of foreign immigration within the last tew years, legitimate reasons for an earnest in vestigation by native citizens of the probable in fluence of this increase of foreign population upon our institutions. This is a fair and legi timate subject for discussion ; and if it shall re sult in the conviction that oor naturalization I rws are defective and require to be amended and reformed, the naturalized citizen ought neither to be surprised nor complain."

It will be in the recollection of all those friends. of the party who were at Jones' at Brixton, two years ago, that Mr. Pinckney was there, and was then first introduced to Miss Gale, to whom be instantly began to direct particular attention dancing with her no less than six sets that even in p. and handing her things at supper in the most devoted manner. From that period com menced the intimacy between them which ter minated in this morning' catastrophe. Poor Pinckney had barelv attaiued his twen ty-eightb year ; but there is no belief that but lor reasons of a pecuniary nature, his single life would have come to an untimely end. A change for the better, however, having occurred in his circumstances, the young lady's friends were induced to sanction his addresses, and thus became accessories to the course (or which he has just suffered. The unhappy young man passed the last nig! of his bachelor existence in bin solitary chaai ber From half-past eight to ten he was enga ged in writing letters. Shortly after his young er brother lleory knocked at the door, when the doomed youth told him to come in. On be ing asked when he meant to go to bed. he re plied, " Not yet." The question was then pnt to him, how he thought be would sleep? To which he answered, " I don't know." He then expressed his desire fur a cigar and a glass of grog, llis brother, who partook of the like re freshments, now demanded if he would take anything morp that night. He said " Nothing," in a firm voice. His affectionate brother then rose to take his leave, when the devoted one considerately advised him to take ear of him- : BAlf. .

A correspondent of the New .Orleans Creole, writing from Charleatown, Ya furnishes the following interesting, reminiscences of the fam ily of Gen. Washington : 4,1 ant addressing you now, Mr. Creole, from ' a region abounding with mementoes of our glorious Washington; and indeed with many' citisens who are of his own blood kin. ' This town called after the Ueneral's broth er Charles waa laid out by that brother in 1786. The mansion of Charlee an humble " iarm-house has long sinto been refdaced by a more elegant edifice J and the ' property has gone out of the possession of the Washington family. About two miles west of the site of the present town, was the residence of Samuel - Washington, another brother of the General. That estate was called Here wood," and con sisted of about 1,200 acres of as fine land as can be found in this noblecountry. The great grand children of Samuel Washington still re side upon these patrimonial acres, though a large portion of the larids has gone into other band. The old homestead still stands a very neat, tasteful and substantial stone edifice, two stories high. In the hall are two superb, fall length, liie-siae portraits the one of Samuel, aged 19, the other of bis. blooming wife of 15. The bridegroom has the old fashioned, round breasted, aute-revdu nonary coat, with ruffles - around his wristbands, small clothes with knee buckles, and slippers with shoe -buckles on the , - insteys. llis youthful consort displays a dra pery equally elegant but 1 am not able to de scribe it. ; General Washington mentions this nlace in a journal of his tour to tbe Kanawha, as pub ' " lished by Sparks. The passage 1 quote from rueniory of "long time ago" was nearly as ioiiuwi; Betting out from Mount Vernon .on horse back, with a servant, I stayed the first night at jjeeeDurg. vn tne secona any l-Oined on the , summit of the Blue Kidge : and at nizht reach ed the residence of my brother Samuel, at tbe head of Washington's Marsh." In bis young days, as yon remember, Wash ington surveyed these lands, included in Lord Fairfax's grant. Tbe first white man that ever crossed the Blue Ridge into tbe Valley,, where this county lies, performed that exploit about the year' 1727, five years before Washington was born. Therefore,-in his early youtbi when . he surveyed it, this vast domain of priceless agricultural riches was almost in a state of na ture. Wcems, in bis Life of Washington,. bas celebrated the athletic sports of young George, and of his comrades, the hardy young Craw- fords and sunsons, with whose" mother, the widow atinson, Washington boarded i while running the lines for Lord Fairfax. The house where Mrs. S. lived and the green sward where these young Virginia buckskins tried their strri.gth alter the l&cduon of the ancient ath letes were about three miles Southwest a Charleatown. It was mote than a century 6 go ; for it is just r.ne hundred yearn ago since George, as a colo Tjel, marched by this place with Braddock, June, 1775, on the ill starred expedition to Fort u- quesne. About fifteen miles from this place, in an adjoining county, stands Greenway Court, th residence of Lord Fairfax. It is the iden tical mansion which Weems has rendered im mortal by that pathetic ballad wherein be de scribes the fatal effect produced upon his lord ship by the news of tbe surrender of CornwaJlis at Yorktown. . It Was not merely the defeat of the. royal forces, or the capture of the noble Cornwall., that grieved Fairfax, but it was the fact that the young gentleman, who had been hia surveyor, and whom he highly esteemed, -should deal such a blow; and, thinking that life had no more joys or duties for him, he at once ordered his negro Joe to lay him in bed. 1 he sequel is -thus told : "Then up rose Joe all at the word, And took hie master's arm, And to his bed he softly led Ti.e Lord of Greenway Farm, And oft he called on Britain's name ; And oft he went full sore ; . . .. Then sighed, 'Thy wilL O Lord, be done;' And word spake never more." control to shave himself, without the slightest rent month is a very interesting article on "the j injury, for not even a scratch upon bis chin ap- Kattlesnake and its Conjurors."

In ! front ot tbe scan waa inserted a breastpin of conspicuous dimensions. Having descended the staircase with a quick I stop, he entered the apartment where his bro- i I ther and sister, and a few friends, awaited him. I He then shook hands cordially with all present, ! tion of tbe stories as may lead to their substan tiation or their invalidation : "The Southern negroes will never kill a snake; living as. a. reason that it will cause them "bad uek." This idea is evidently traditionary with them, brougli; by their ancestors from Africa. Many of them also appear to have tbe power, if cultivated, of charming snakes ; for, if so disposed, they will handle any snake they come across with impunity. A physician of Louisi ana, who had a desire to study the habits of tbe rattlesnake, kept a number in a cage, and. for fear of accident, had it placed in the dis I tant corner ot a large room in which he slept. It was the doctor's custom, on his return home at night, to take a glance at the reptiles, to assure himself that they had been properly cared for through the day, and also to see if the door of the Cage was securely fastened. One night, having come home very late and much fatigued, he neglected bis usual precautious. and at, once retired. Ihe weather was exceed ingly hot, and, notwithstanding his exhaustion, several hours glided away without his obtain ing any sleep. Suddenly he heard a light sliding noise along the floor, and cautiously looked out lo learn the cause. Ihe moonlight was Bhining full into the room, and to his hor ror he discovered the largest of his snakes roaming free about the room. What was to be done ? A loaded gun was at the farthest end of the room, but was this the only serpent out ofthvcage? Were all the rest at liberty? The whole household being asleep, the doctor concluded it was better to wait until morning, taking tbe precaution to tuck his-mosquito bar with extra care around his bed, and thus im prisoned he impatiently watched tbe issue. The snake continued his travels, and finally approached tbe bed, and all became silent. ainl, on being asked how he slept, answered, " Very well !" And to the further demand as to the state of his mind, he said that he ' felt happy." One of the party hereupon suggested that it would be as well to take something be- i fore the melancholy ceremony was gone through: ne exciainiea witn some emphasis "iecidedlv! Breakfast was accordingly served, when be "ate a French roll, a large round toast, two sansages. and drank three great breakfast cups of tea. ' In reply to an expression of astonishment on the part of a person present, he declared be had never felt happier in his life. Having inquired the time, and ascertained that it was ten minutes of eleven, he remarked that it would soon be over. His brother then inquired if he could do anything for him. when he said be would like a glass of ale. Having drank this, he appeared to be satisfied. The fatal moment now approaching, he devo ted the remaining portion of his time to distri bute those little articles he would no longer want. To one he gave his cigar case, to anoth er his tobacco stopper, and charged his brother uenry witn nis latch key, with instructions to deliver it, after all waa over, in due solemnity. to the landlady. The c!ock at length struck 11, and at the same moment he was informed that a cab was at the door. He merely said" I am ready," and allowed himself to be conducted to the vehicle, into which be got with his brother; his other friends followed on behind in others. Arriving at the tragical spot, a short but anx ious delay of some moments took place, after At daylight the doctor heard the steps of his j which they were joined by the lady with her of body servant, who was coming, according to custom,1 to perform his morning duty. Lbe doctor cried out to bim not to open tbe dbr, but to go for an old African negro, named Isaac, who was known to approach all snakes without fear. The negro came, and entered upon his task confidently, and after a moment or two. found the cause of the alarm quietly sleeping under tbe bed. The other snakes were in tbe cage, although tbe door was open. The doctor insisted upon the negro's shooting the snake, but he firmly refused, and declared himself able to seize the animal without tbe least fear of being bitten by him. Advancing towards tbe bed, he commenced whistling and pronouncing soothing words in tbe same man ner as the snake charmers of India. After some minutes he ventured to pass his hands over the back of the snake, all tbe time using soothing sounds. Finally, he lifted up the snake's bend, and induced it to repose upon his bended arm and body, the snake suffering all this without betraying tlia least fright or motion. The doctor, agitated for the safety of his ser- irinds. Little was said on either side: hot Miss Gale, with customary decorum, shed tears. Pinckney endeavored to preserve decorum ; but a slight twitching in his mouth and eyebrows proclaimed his inward agitation. All necessary preliminaries having now been settled, and the prescribed necessary formalities gone through, tbe usual question was put ' Wiltthou hare this woman to Jje thy wife? " I will." He then put tbe fatal ring on Miss Gale's finger, the hymenial noose was -adjusted, and .i. - e. ii i i , . uie poor leitow was launcnea lnio matri mony l Terrific Fire in thh Pineries or Caroli na. The passengers on the Wilmington and Manchester railroad, in the northern part of South Carol na, enjoyed, on Friday night last, the exciting and magnificent spectacle of a fire in the woods, extending over a distance of ten miles, showing first on one side, then on the oth er, and frequently on both sides of the road. A passenger writes : Uccasionally, the scene rose to the dignity and there was no indication that the heart waa wounded. The boy seemed to recover regular- t and sIowIt un to- the aixtu-aeventh day, when he died suddenly, from over indulgence in eat ing The lttng which was wounaea never per formed service after receiving the shot, and the deatlrwas due to the condition of the lung. - ki tracing the course of the wounds, after death, the physicians were astonished at finding three shot in the bottom ot the ventricle ana two shot in tbe bottom of the auricle of the heart. The wounds made in the substance of the heart were, all firmly healed, and tbe internal sur faces- of the; cavities, in which the shot were found; betrayed no signs of having suffered iu any way from the presence of the shot. The boy lived from the Oth of April to the iitn oi June, or Kixty-eeven days, and the death was due to tho.iung, according to tbe puysiciaus in the case, and not to the shot iu tbe hearts In the Victioiidire Medicate, Saviard mentions a case in which! the Ieftventricle of the heart and the septum or -wall which divided it from the right ventricle were pierced through. The man lived foUr er five days.' A clot of blood un doubtedly closed the opening at once and pr vtnted hemorrhage In another case the right ventricle ws pierced and the victim lived five days. And in another case a sword was passed through the right ventricle, the diaphragm, and liver, and the man lived until the ninth day. Morand exhibited this heart to the French Aca demy of Science in 1735. M. Lb veille reports a case in whu ff tbe left ventricle was pierced vertically, and a wound four or five linos in length was paade. This viotim lived until the 7th day. Dehors, Rhodiua, and Fantoni men tion cases of wouuds of the heart that were not fatal until the 14th, 16th, 17th, and even the 20th day. " ' The .heart may contract spasmodically at the moment the weapon inflicts the damage, and thus close the wound until a clot of blood forms and prevents hemorrhage. Ambrose Pare, the great French surgeon, gives a remarkable case, evidently of this kind. And a case reported by Shenk, in a student of Ingolstadt, wan certainly ot this character. . But probably the most extraordinary case of a gunshot wound inVthe. heart occurred in Cin cinnati in 1835. ,A Dr. Simmons reported the case in the Western Journal of Medicine and of tbe Physical sciences. On the 21st of December a man. named Maguire wus shot in the chest with bail weighing 74 to the pound. After being wounded he chased his antagonist with activity for -several rods and then became taint and fell. The. attention of the physicians was directed to' the possible occurrence of gan grene of the lung, and the treatment was de signed to prevent that result. There was no sign in the symptoms of' a wound of the heart. There was great thirst, as there is in all gun shot wounds, intense pain in the region of the stomach, an accelerated pulse, with a wiry jerk on the second day, but there was no disturbance of the respiration until the fourth day. ' The man died on tbe fifth day, or ninety-seven hours after the wound.. . The examination after death revealed a remarkable state of things in the heart: About two and a half inches from its apex there 'was tbe appearance of a healed wound. It was not, of course, firm, for a blunt pointed probe passed through this healing ma terial into the right ventricle of the heart. The internal surface of the ventricle exhibited a la cerated wound, but no trace of the ball could be found." The auricle was not wounded, and great mystery prevailed over the lost trace of tne Daiu xxie asoenuing vein, wnicn pours into the right auricle all the ascending blood from the lower divisions of the body, and the right ventricle and auricle, were filled with what is called coagulable lymph. The great' mystery in the case was the entire loss of all trace of the ball. It was not in the ventricle into which it had certainly passed. nor was there any perceptible wouod of the au ricle to mark its -passage through it. In this Htate of things, the large vein of which we have npoken was tied, and the heart and that part of tbe vein were taken out and placed in water. While they i were nndergoipg maceration, the young man,' who was attending to tbe macera tion, thought there were evidences of a bruise on what is called the tricaspid valve. There is an oval opening between the right auricle and ve-utricie which m closed by this valve. Tbe discovery thus made by maceration gave a clue to a. search foe the ball. As it bad evidently. by tb projfecUle, force of the powder, passed through the ventricle ana into tbe right auricle. through the oval opening, the search for it waa made in the largo vein of .which we have spoken us the vessel which conveys the blood from the lower members of tbe body into the right auri cle. This vein is the largest in the human body, The two veins from the right and left extremi ties unite together opposite the fourth bone in what is called the, loins, and make this large veioous trunk, In the right one of these tw) veina the ball was found.

Gnv.mn, i iaht, tf Indiana, received as visitors, a.t his residence in Indianapolis, Governors PowelL oi A.eniucy , t-uunsou, oi lennessee ; Medill of Ohio; Matteson, of Illinois; and Grimesj of Ohio. Such a meeting of the ' potentates" would be regarded in Europe as an event full of meaning, nd one likely to be followed by the most important results ; while, in our country, it is an affair of such small moment ,that probably not one-half the citizens of tbe States represented at this meeting ol Governor will ever know that sncb a meeting took place. A complete enumeration of the toting popu lation ib Kansas bas been obtained. It seems to contain 3036 electors, wnich are divided into vqt; election districts. wheedling and walking about all the time. As soon as he was certain that he could envelop the reptile in the sheet, he rapidly threw it around him, and the snake was mastered. By a series of skilful movements, he got the snake back into his old quarters without having re ceived the slightest injury, and thus the ad venture terminated, the negro, however, de claring that he could never again charm that snake, because he had used his power to deceive it. The gentleman who relates the above inci dent is authority for another, which came very near . a tragical termination. A hunter of his acquaintance used to amuse himself, wherever he met with a fine specimen of a rattlesnake, with endeavoring to. catch it alive. This he was enabled, after much' experience, to do, by means of a. long stick, cleft at the. end, with which he was accustomed to seize the reptiles by the back of the head. One day, as he was posted some distance from his friends, watch ing for deer, Jie perdeived a large rattlesnake, which be seised io his favorite manner, and then, after placing bis fingers firmly behind the reptile's bead, he amused himself by open, ing iu mouth, in order tc examine its teeth and fangs. In the meantime the snake, quite un noticed by the imprudent hunter, who was en tirely absorbed in his examination of the crea ture's head, had twisted his body in numerous folds aruund his arm. Little by little, he was eonecioas of a slight pressure, accompanied by an alarming numbness to tbe member. The hunter immediately attempted to disengage arm. At tbe same time he felt that iu ing fctill all on fire, the glowing coals standing out in the darkness like millions of colored lamns uicau oik. v. ci b ui wouia sail over us glittering and dancing about like a cloud of fire fliesr Sometimes a single lightwood knot would ignite perhaps fifty feet from the ground a gigantic torch in the dark green of the ever green pine. Long reaches of fencing were on fire, and once or twice we saw the bright em bers remaining after the fences were consumed an endless serpent of living coals. This, fire had commenced burning about ten or twelve hours previous, but so dry was the material that it had extended for miles when we passed, and the alarm in the vicinity was general and ex treme. Farmers were out with their hands to protect their buildings and produce, and a large number of men were watching the railroad, but it was generally thought ome considerable por. tions of it must be burned. An immense amount of damage matt have resulted, as there are large turpentine plantations in the neigh borhood. The scene was one of the most thrilling and sublime I have ever witnessed, and will never be forgotten by those who witnessed it." BrA Canada correspondent of the N. Y. Herald tells queer things of the manner in which elections are conducted in her Majesty's provinces to the North of us. He says that in a certain coanty 19,000 vete were polled, al though there are bat 1.200 legal voters in' the county, and only 10,000 inhabitants. On one of the poll books the same name was inscribed no less than 228 timet. mr T i . t-j ine bis nop looaea narrowly at tne sick in dividuals, and then, in tbe moat imperious man ner, ordered tbem to get up and scrub out tbe room. They protested that they were unable to do so, but finally crawled out of the filthy bed clothes, making piteous complaints. The agent thought the Bishop needlessly severe, and pleaded the propriety of using more gentle words and manner, but, the Bishop insinuated that he knew perfectly well the. kind of indi viduals ha was dealing with,' and ordered the woman to throw the dirty bed out of tbe win, dew. The ibid woman wept, and begged for the bed. and protested that she bad brought it from OjdTr'elaud, where it had belonged to her ancestor, and that it was dearer to her than flesh' of ber flesh and blood of ber blood. But. the Bishop was inexorable, saying that the room must i' eleaned out," and tbe ' eld bed thrown away ; and, at last, the Old woman, with a wailing moan of despair, seized a knife, and cutting: open- the venerable sleeping appa ratus, out pouted more than a quart of Englith gold. ' i - - . A NORTH CAROLINA FARMER. A writer in the Wilmington Herald gives the following description ot tbe estate of 1). L. Kus sell, Esq., of Brunswick county. North Caroli na : " Several years ago, Mr. R. made a large and judicious purchase of land, the most of which was covered with a fine growth of pines but some seven years since, this tree, throughout this part oi. the country, was visited with dis ease which destroyed immense forests', much to the loss of the proprietors ; the immediate cause of which has never been discovered. Mr. R. was probably the largest loser in the State it being estimated that not less than seven hun dred thousand of his pines died in the course of three years ; the greatest destruction being on the clay soil lands. Previous to this, his attention had .been main Iy turned to the turpentine business; bnt at present he is extensively engaged in cultiva ting the soil, mainly on the lands where the trees were killed, lie has about a thousand acres under the plough, of which one half is caltivated in corn last year's crop amounting to aeven thousand bushels ; and so extensive are his operations, that all of this will be consumed on the plantation during tLe year. Last fall he slaughtered one hundred and fifty hogs, and as many cattle as were needed for domestic use. Among his stock, I saw a Spanish jack, an Al derny bull, a Suffolk cow. and a Saxony ram, whioh proves that he spares no expense in pro curing the best breeds of animals known. It may be useful to1 know how he can raige such crops and sustain, three hundred head of animals, on naturally a poor soil. The answer is, by manure. I understand, from his over seer, that over five thousand loads of this article had been carried to the fields this spring. Da ring the winter, the hands are employed in col lecting immense quantities of leaves, grass and mud, which are carted to the stables, and, af ter having been used for litter, are placed in tbe compost heap, and soon prepared for the field. Considerable use is also made of marl, with which tbe county abounds, while guano is re lied on, to some extent, for corn alone. There are connected with the place some one hundred and fifty negroes, of all sizes, a large part of which are mostly employed, during tbe sum mer and fall, in the turpentine department, of which the agricultural part is only for the sup ply of food and clothing; tbe net sales from his still being about twenty fire thousand dol lars per year. - - I have understood that Mr. R.'s entire do main exceeds, twenty-five thousand acres, and is much tbe largest, except the Green Swamp Company, of any proprietor in the county.

Reduction of Rates of Transportation on the Raleigh and Gaston Railroad. A New and greatly reduced Tariff of charges on Freight goes into operation on this Road to-uay.' x . The. maximum charge on light goods will be 35 cents 'per 100 lbs.; Flour per bbl 35 cents; Lime per bbl. 40 cents ; Molasses per had. $4,60; Salt per sack 80 cents. Between Raleigh and Gaston the rates are less, for whioh reference is made to the printed Tariff. Goods and produce are transhipped and forward ed at Raleigh free of all expense to the owner, and at the sole risk of the Railroad Companies. They are not unloaded between Raleigh and Norfolk i and at the Utter place and Portsmouth the Railroad Company allows the use of its com modious Wharves and Warehouses, ree of all charge for Wharfage, Drayagt and Storage. Their line being 20 miles shorter to Norfolk, and 43 miles shorter to Petersburg, without any breaking of bulk between Raleigh and these points, it most eomti&ue to be the shortest and most expeditious route North for both passengers and freight. . - Office Raleigh and Gaston Railroad. f March 19, 1865. lm 5W.
