' THE MUNCIOaND vikSStii. BARRiNGEiV ;AN1) RAYNER. ! 51r. Editor: The affair of the Pope's Nuncio at Madrid puzzles me no little. Mr Barrmger, Mr. Rayner and Mr. Ellis have all published on the subject, but none of their publications satisfy me. The public ib 10 a tog, oui 01 wmuu some or all of these gentlemen should lead us. It is of too grave moment to be disposed of with out full investigation. We want more light ilv mind wishes to settle down into some posi tive belief, one way or the other, respecting what really transpired between Mr. Barringer and the representative ot the .rope at Anaurm. It can't do so in the present state of thexsase. A few things I want to know. 1 want to know whether, when Mr. uarrmger related his conversation with the Pope's Nuncio to Mr. Rayner, he did not give it to him as some evidence of a corrupt bargain between Mr. Pierce's friends and the Catholio priest hood f Mr. Rayner certainly gave it to the public in that way. Whereas, with the explana tions now given "to it by both of these gentle men, it would seem to be no evidence at all this haste of the Nuncio to inform Mr. Barrin ger of Mr. Campbell's appointment is a mere expression of joy atthe promotion of a Catholic, and not worth talking about. What is the truth. A charge of corruption between the friends of this administration and the Catholic priest hood, in respect to the Catholic vote, has been made and repeated for two years. I hat charge has been made the subject of remark and com ment especially within the last six or twelve months. In the midst of this state of feeling in, the country, Mr. Rayner and Mr. Barringer have a conversation first in Raleigh after wards in Baltimore , I am not particular now as to the precise langaage of that conversation. Did not its subject-matter relate to this charge Of corruption with the friends of sir. fierce, ana whatever Mr. Barringer may have tola Mr. Ravner in that conversation, was it not told as some evidence of the truth of this charge t To me this seems inevitable from the nature of the conversation itself, and the atate of the public mind at the time it occurred. Besides, if the transaction in Madrid with Mr. Barringer was nothing more than the gratifica tion of a foreign Catholic at the elevation of an American Catholic, it waa so email and trivial a circumstance as hardly one man in a millon would remember for a fortnight, much less for two or three years unless, indeed, something uncommonly significant occurred atthe time or arose afterwards to fix it in the memory or to recall it to mind. Who has not heard individ uals of the various religious denominations ex p ess their satisfaction at the promotion of their re spejtive members? Yet these expressions have passed Dy us as tneiaiewma, ana wno nasever though t it worth while to treasure them u p in mem ory and te tail them on ty ears afterwards in conver sation ? Why? Because it was mere gratifica tion. But if any of us had reason to suspect at the time or to Relieve afterwards that this grati fication was the result of a well-laid and suc cessful Bchenie of corruption, we would most likely mark the conversation or recall it to mind many years alter. It strikes me, then, that, at the time or since, the affair at Madrid must have impressed Mr. Barringer some way or other as affording evi dence of this alleged bargain between the Cath olic priesthood and Mr. Pierce's friends, and that as such he retailed it to Mr. Rayner. If he did, he ought to say so. It he did not, sure ly Mr. Rayner possesses the unenviable art of making mountains out ol mole-bills. I know th:it Mr Barringer' s letter, dated Sar atoga, July 26, 1855, which appeared in the last Whig, is relied on as conclusive, both as to what really took place between him and the Pope's representative at Madrid, and as to that gentleman's present impressions of the means whereby the JN uncio became so early possessed of the information in regard to Mr. Campbell's appointment. A cursory perusal of that letter, it is true, makes the whole affair, in Mr. Barrin- MISS BUNKLEY. 7 j To the Editor of tu New York Herald. Dea Sia Permit me, through the columns of yur paper, to make a statement to the public in reference to "Miss Josephine M. Baakyi lhe Escaped Novice." The daily increasing inquiries by mail and otherwise as to whether she is the author of a book recently issued by Messrs. Ds witt & Daven port, entitled " The Escaped Nun," alone render it necessary that a general reply should be made. But other causes exist to demand it. Many of the agents are selling that book aa hers, and wall meanine persons innuirinz after ' Ft I . Quite truth are thereby deceived. The circulars is sued by the publishers intimate that her state ments aft contained in that book, which is not the case, doubtless to make sales for the work through the prestige of her name. No "novice or "nun" is known or believed to have escaped and to be now at liberty, except Mias Buokley. and her forthcoming work will be found to disa gree, in many essential particulars, with the statements therein contained. Miss Bunkley determined to publish her book only in consequence of attempts made by the Superior of St. Joseph's to vilify her character alter her espape, and as a duty she owed to her country intending to give a true and correct history of the doings in the " Mother House" of the "Sisters of Charity" 4o the United States, that Protestants might know the facts from a reliable source. From mercenary motives or from some other cause which may appear in her book her manuscript was revised, altered and garbled, and sent from Norfolk, Va., where she resided, to Messrs. Dewitt & Davenport, New York, with out her knowledge, and without allowing her to read the manuscript after its revision and alteration. She and not the "Jesuits," as represented by Dewitt & Davenport prosecuted the parties, obtained an injunction, and "suppressed" that book, which they had stereotyped, and of which they had printed 4,000 copies ; after they were notified of the facts by her attorney, and before the injunction was finally obtained. .Miss Bunkley being thus wrongfully deprived of her manuscript and papers, had to re-write her book entirely, whilst in the meantime an anonymous work is issued by D. & D., and is be ing sold for hers, she has issued a "card to the public, which is all she can at present do in the premises, her only desire being to disa buse the public mind as to her connection with the book called the " Escaped Nun," or any other except her own, in which her name will appear as author. She is an escaped "novice." and will shortly issue her work. Whether the sales of this n nonymous and fictitious work will injure the 6aleof her book isof no consequence to thepublio She expects, however, to sell enough to reim burse her outlay in suppressing a book prepared by her enemies for the destruction of her credit and reputation, and to defend herself against the suits which are already threatened to be brought against ber by the " Institution of St. Joseph's," as soon as her book appears. Money is not her object, but a revelation of truth is what she aims at, for the enlightenment of her countrymen. Friendsand money she will never need while there is an American party in these United States, and she a fugitive from a Roman Catholio institution. The trials, vicissitudes vexations, anddangen, to which she has been subjected since her eB cape from St. Joseph's at Emettsburg, could only be equalled by convent life. Twice was she compelled to perform the, to her, herculean task of writing a book; the second time being deprived ot many valuable papers, and commen cing it five months after her escape amidst the vexations and suspense of a tedious law suit, to ward off the threatened destruction of her fair fame, and her fond hope of promulgating truth and being compelled from these causes to be absent a long period from her friends and her home Men of strong nerves and stout hearts have wept to bear her aimple recital of her wrongs and sufferings in the institution."

Perhaps the beet hit at Republican ar'st teracj, of which the present times are so prolifls, is the following irom the pen of John Q. Saze. It has a universal application, and is warranted good for all loealhie.

Fronting the farm on the east, at the foot of the hill, is a lake, constructed by the General himself, from a marshy piece of ground contain ing about fifteen acres, which is now stocked with various kinds of fishes, that await his pleas ure whenever he may choose to have them ser ved up at his table. A large ice-house, built upon the verge of the lake, stands conveniently ready to receive the frozen liquid into its capacious maw, whenever old winter, with bis hoary locks, may choose, to present the offering. From this receptacle of one ot the chief luxuries ot summer, the General is enabled to supply the wants of the people of vnuiootne during tne Beaeon. At a convenient distance from the tempting waters of this beautiful lake, the milk of fifty shorthorn Durhams is kept, from the sale of which alone, the past year, the General realized the snug little sum of $4,000. ' KANSAS AFFAIRS The people of the territory of Kansas will have two separate conventions for the forma tion of a State constitution one called bv the T1. ... . . legislature, ana tne otner Dy the tree State party. They will probably both present State constitutions, and ask admission into the Union at the coming session, but with no other expec tation than of adding fuel to the existing excite ment on tne question. Inere are less than twenty thousand people in the territory, and ior Eome time to come it cannot possess a suffi cient number to entitle it to a representative. It is supposed hy many that it will never become a populous and powerful btate, but will, if itbe admitted into the Union, remain in it a rotten borough, sending to tho U. S. Senate an equal representation witn JNew York and Virginia. Neither as a slave nor a free State will itsoon be admitted into the Union, even with the re-! quisite population for the House will not, as now constituted,admititasaslaveholding State, nor the Senate as a free State. ' Minnesota and Oregon and Washington will soon perhaps during the next Congress be admitted as States, adding thus to the northern end of the lever. Texas, on the other hand, may, at her present rate of increase, be soon subdivided into two, if not three, slaveholding States. Should the schemes now on foot for Americanizing Northern Mexico succeed, there is reason to believe that slavery will be partially restored in New Leon, Chihuahua and Sonora, and new slavehplding States may be carved out of these. But no more new States from any quarter will be admitted while the Kansas ques tion remains open anda source of sectional ir ritation. More compromises are talked of, but they are unpopular on both sides and with all parties. The pacification of 1850 saved the U nion for the time, Colonel Keitt lately stated, in his recent letter to the anti-know-nothing con vention of South Carolina. The Kansas question presents, by common consent, the issue between the two sections. At the meeting above referred to, a letter was read from Mr. Boyce, another distinguished member of Congress from South Carolina, in which he urges upon the South the necessity of sending "men and money" into Kansas for the purpose of recovering that empire for the South. But the battle is not to be fought in that remote territory, but here in Washington, and in the capitol and it is here that the men and the money, too, will be most wanted. Cor. of Bait.

When did this conversation between him and the Nuncio occur? Waa it before or after the 4th of March, 1853 ? There is no evidence. I know that the expression "was appointed," used in Mr. Barringer' s letter, is seized on as pr.of that it was this side of the 4th of March, 1853. Is it any proof ? Cabinet places are at the will of the President. A man may be to all intents and purposes appointed to such an effice long before be enters on its active duties he is appointed, indeed, as soon as the President gives him to understand that he wants his services ; and he may do this as well in November as in March. If, therefore, the Nuncio had good title making it appear as mine, I can only rive I bat in no case will we be liable for accidents. . - . I .1 Li' 1 - . .

By how much was he the Jirst t How long was it before Mr. B. learnt the same facts from other sources ? Was it a day, or a week, or a month ? If a day, why then it is no matter if a week, then it is not much matter if a month, then it is a very great matter. These, Mr. Editor, are some of the points which strike me about this very mysterious af fair. I want light on them. I don't want to make a charge without foundation but if there Is foundation, I want to make the charge. I think the honor of the country should be above the suspicion of such bargains. I have a pro found respect for all the gentlemen whose names are connected with this matter, and I feel that they will yet do whatever they can to lead the public mind to the TRUTH. igrants, and the associations by which the latter ' has been sent out.

THE subscriber, intending to remove to the southwest, wishes to sell his OIL, GRIST, AND sAW MILLS situate onNeuse River, about nine miles northeast of the city of Raleigh, and two and a half miles from Huntsville Depot, on the Raleigh and Gaston Railroad. The mill tract contains about thirty two acres of land lying on both sidea of the river. The OIL MILL is in perfect order, its machine ry is of the most approved construction, and is capable of producing fifteeen thousand gallons, per annum, of cotton seed, linseed and castor oil. There are also attached, to it one of Garver's lar gest size cotton gins and a cotton screw. Fifteen years' acquaintance with the oil making business justifies him in the remark that it is one of the most profitable and satisfactory that he has any know ledge of. . The SAW MILL, re-built two years ago, and running with Hotchkiss's vertical wheels, is sur passed by few in the country, and a ready sale is found, for the lumber at the mill. The GRIST MILL has a large custom, and being in a thickly settled and largely grain-growing neighborhood would, with slight repairs, command a custom yielding 60Q barrels of toll corn a year, while at a small expense a flour mill could be at tached to it which would yield an annual toll of one thousand bushels of wheat. . A more favourable opportunity for a profitable investment, in Wake county, has never been pre sented. In the hands Of a prudent and energetic man, who Would give them his personal attention, these mills would pay for themselves in a very short time. WILLIAM J. CLARKE. Raleigh, June 25th, 1855. 51 tf. North Carolina Six per Cent State Bonds. The Secret Expedition or the Allies. It is intimated by the New York Albion that the immense preparations of the Allies for a Secret Expedition, so called, have reference to a retreat from the Crimea in the event of the failure of another attack upon Sevastopol. The Albion argues that Russia might be induced to make satisfactory concessions, if Sebaatopol should be recoguized as impregnable. Also, that the Allies, if again repulsed, would be willing to listen to such terms as might salve over the mortification of failure by the polite advantages recorded, and which the Albion editor believes Russia would be glad to proffer. This reason ing might answer very well for England, but not for France. Louis Napoleon, strong as he is in public opinion, would soarcely venture upon such an adjustment of the war.
