Hawkins, Esq., of Warren, was cal led to the chair, and W. W. Vass, Esq., appoint- 1 Snr-.retarv. A large majority of the stock was represented , in person and by proxy.

Hawkins, The State Directory consist ' of Messrs. G. H. Wilder, Allen Perry and J. C. Kino. The affairs of the Company are represented to be in a nourishing condition. The action of the State in the appointment of Directors demands and shall receive attention hereafter. We have only time just, as our paper goes to press, to make the above announcement. DEATH OF EX-GOVERNOR DUDLEY. We are pained to announce1 the death of the Hon. Edward R. Dudley, which took place at his residence in Wilmington, on Tuesday evening last. He had been in failing health for several years past, and his death was not therefore un expected. Mr. Dudley has filled various offices of dis tinction and trust in this State. Born in Onslow, he represented that County in the General As sembly. Removing to Wilmington, he went to the House of Commons several times, as the rep resentative of that town. He was chosen, in 1829, a member of Congress from the New Hanover Dis trict, and declined a re-election. Subsequently, he was elected by the people Governor of the State, being the first Governor ever elected by the peo ple. Two years afterwards, he was re-elected. He had a strong hold, as the " Wilmington He rald" remarks, on the affections of the people, and was universally esteemed by political friends and foes for his sterling qualities of mind and keart, Jiis enterprise, liberality and good works. " He gave an impetus to the cause of Internal Improvements in this State, beyond that of ny tka titfton on1 nQV in or 1 17 etrrltvl thfi fftthfir VIUI .tttLAAAy MUU UJMJ -rr - of the svstem. .1 He was chosen the first President of-thWil-mington and Raleigh Railroad Company, to which great work he contributed largely from his for tune, and to the successful completion of which he brought untiring energies He was after? wards the first Prasident of the Wilmington and Manchester Railread Company, and, at the time of his death, was a Director in the first named O-mpany. It isrnot for us to pay the tribute to his mem ory ths t his virtues demand. We but make the annout cement that one of our most distinguish ed anc! useful men has left the scene of his labors. Gov. Dudley was in the 65th year of his age." Prentiss. Among recent publications, the most interesting, we venture to say, is a Me moir of the late S. S. Prentiss, of Mississippi, written by his brother. The distinguished editor of the Louisville Journal, who has read it, says : "We do not know when we "have been more in terested by the perusal of a similar work. The second volume is especially interesting. The whole memoir is executed with admirable taste. The editor does not aim to exhibit himself to the reader ; but he forgets himself in the love of his gifted and noble brother, and has furnished to the world a literary picture of his brother as faithful to nature as the circumstances of the rase possibly admitted. The memoir must be rrad with pleasure, even by strangers. But to those who were personally acquainted with the late S. S. Prentiss, it cannot fail to be thrillingly interesting and it may be truly said that both strangers and acquaintances will be instructed and profited by a perusal of its pages. Within the last century greater men than S. S. Prentiss have been, doubtless, born in the world. But we do not believe that the world, within that pe riod or any other period, has produced a man of nobler, brighter, and more varied genius. In Lis Southern" home he was subjected to many temptations, and he was tried alike by prosperity and adversity ; and, whilst we do not pretend that he escaped from all evil, we do insist that he passed the ordeal of his Mississippi life as little scathed as any unregenerate man, under the circumstances, ever did upon earth. And when we concluded his "Memoir," with the close of his life, our heart was softened with grief and our dry eyes became full of tears." Infamous Outrage. A meeting of the Amer ican party in New York was broken up and dis persed by a gang of Irish rowdies on Tuesday evening last. The American flag was taken from the assemblage and trailed in the dirt. The " Express" says : - " This ' assassin-like attack upon a peaceful body of citizens, we are assured by different persons who witnessed the cene, wa one of the most outrageous it is, possible to conceive. There was not the remotest provocation, all accounts agree, on the part of the meeting, which, was composed of unoffending American and adopted citizens. There was no banner in the procession bearing any inscription or -device even, which could possibly be construed as a reflection upon acy person or party whatsoever.", i Joshua Giddings is spoken of for U. S. Sen-r ator from Ohio. A FACT FOR THE SOUTH. John Van Bitben made a speech the other day at Oswego, New York, in which he made, among others, the following declaration : ; " Everybody knows that the labor of foreign ers competes with that of the slaves, and drives them out. It is true, too, that the foreigners pre fer the free States, and build them up, to the pre judice of the slaveholding States." That this is true, common sense, the olwerva tion of all, the practice of most foreigners, and the declarations of their organs, establish beyond all doubt. Ninety-nine hundredths of the for eigners who come to this country (exclusive of transported paupers and criminals) come as la borers dependent, ou their exertions for bread. Having not only the choice between sections where free and slave labor is used, but being in vited to the former by offers of land and the readiest mode of acquiring citizenship, as well as constrained by theoretic prejudices against slave-' ry, they rush almost without exception to the free States and Territories, and thus help to swell the dangerous preponderance of the free States in the government. It has been demonstrated by figures that the domestic and native increase of population in the slave States is greater than in the free States, but the immense immigration of foreigners into the free States overcomes and ex ceeds that increase, and is a constant contribution to the misused power of the North and the in creasing inferiority of the South. We can read ily comprehend why freesoilers like John Van Buren should favor immigration and caress for eigners, but why the people of the South, who would be the happiest and most prosperous peo ple on God's earth, but for the annoyances and outrages of the overgrown North, should applaud and promote the very means of mischief to them selves, cannot be explained upon any principle re concilable with the ordinary instincts of self-pre servation ! THE CRIMEAN WAR IN ITS DOLLAR AND CENT ASPECT. Charles L. Brace, whose incarceration in an Austrian prison, and whose very well written, but too partial, book of Hungary, brought him prominently before the public, has, for a year or two past, been doing good service in New York, partly in co-operating with the Rev. Mr. Pease in reforming the morals of the miserable wretches who inhabit the Five Points, and subsequently an an efficient officer of " The Children's Aid Socie ty." Now, like almost all philanthropic associa tions, "The Children's Aid" is occasionally in want of funds, and it becomes the duty of some one benevolent individual to apprise" the public of that fact. Usually, the course adopted is a dry announcement of an exhausted exchequer, and a grave appeal to the public for assistance. Mr. Brace and we say it to his credit has hit upon a much better plan for eliciting the atten tion of the liberal-handed. He prefaces his call tohe charitable with a series of amusing sketches Jt thboys who drop in at the "office of the So ciety, and whose pressing wants it relieves. From these gossipy anecdotes, published in the New York Times, of Saturday last, we extract his account of THE NEWSBOYS ON THE TAKING OP SEVASTOPOL. Though the Newsboys do not appear to be in fluenced by any political principle, in their opin ions about the war in the Crimea, they debate the Siege of Sevastopol in their own way very often. "Say," said Barney, with all the dignity of a captain among them, "I don't go ii for taking Sevastopol. Extras wouldn't sell well after, d'ye see. Let the Russians get whipt, and what will become of our trade?" "Well," said Cigars, "if Sevastopol is taken, we'll have another Loss of the Arctic day of it. Uh ! wasn t that a time l "The last bom harder," said Fatty, "gave me three extra plates at the Nassau and three shillings I paid as I owed. The death of Lord Raglan wasn't worth an oyster-pie." "The Emperor Nick's was a better affair," said Fatty. "Yes, sir," said Paddy Moore. "Let me see : the death of Emperor Niclas put seventy- five cents in the bank, and gave me a new pair of pants as good as second hand. "One battle, said the Yank, lifting up his eyes from his book, is better than twenty deaths. Why don t they blow un a shm or a fortress 1 dunno that we have much in that way at all, as we read in the life of Paul Jones here." "Well," said Barney, "I ruess there' no Paul Jones among em. Give me a look at that, Yank, when you get through with it. I want to see how Paul did these things." And so the conversation was diverted into another channel. Here is one aspect of the Crimean war, in which it has not been heretofore contemplated by the press. We have speculated upon its effect upon Russia. We have reviewed, now and then, the policy and plans of the belligerents. We have oracularly pronounced upon the probable fate of Turkey ; but we have left it for the news boys to estimate its value in dollars and cents. And yet even from this narrow, mean, and selfish view of the tremendous conflict, now waging on the shores of the Black Sea, there is a profound moral to be drawn. - Jyit will be a matter of gratification to the whole country to learn, that the President of thd United States has decided that the distinguished Commander-in-Chief of the Army is entitled to pay as Lieutenant General from.the 26th of May, 1847. This decision is entirely in accordance with the intention of Congress in conferring upon Gen. Scott the rank previously held in this coun try only by Gen. Washington ; because, high as the complimentary title might in itself have been considered, the national heart cheerfully re 'sponded to the first suggestion, and would have been satisfied with nothing less than a substan tial token of the country's gratitude and its high appreciation of the merit of this renowned offi cer. Mr. Nathaniel Allen, of this County, shot and killed a few day9 ago an Eagle of prodigious size. His talons were enormous, . measuring, when extended, seven and one fourth inches in diameter. From the extremity of one wing to that of the other the dimensions reached seven feet, four and a half inches. This is the largest bird of any species that we remember ever to have heard of fn this section. Warrenton Nevis, From an editorial article in the Rich mond Enquirer, of Wednesday hist, the Whig quotes the following passage : "Now, all Fiance and Germany are infidel, socialistic, agrarian. England is tnit little bet ter." Thus (comments the Whig,) the very countries, with the exception of Ireland, from which we de rive aTl the foreign population that conies to'. the United States, are affirmed to be " infidel, social istic, agrarian," and that, too,, by a journal which assumes that, foreigners are equally capable with Americans of discharging the duties of American citizenship. 'We confess our surprise at such an admission from such a source. It is plain, we take it, that if all England, France and Germany are "infidel, socialistic, agrarian,'! the immigrants who come herefrom those countries must be ''in fidel, socialistic, agrarian," also. This conclusion is inevitable lrom tne hnquircr s own premises.. And such being the case, we enquire whether it is proper that socialists, infidels ami agrarians should lie admitted to all the rights of American citizenship,, just for the asking, and at once. We enquire further, whether it is likely that infi- dels, agrarians and socialists would make as good citizens, or whether they are as worthy of being entrusted with office anil political. power, as native-born Americans! We submit these questions 1 to the candid consideration of every man of ev ery party in this country, and ask him to say if I he regards infidels, socialists and agrarians the right sort of material out of which to manufac ture American citizens. If he replies in the af firmative, then there is an end of the controversy between us. If. in the negative, then we claim his aid and his influence in behalf of the Ameri can party, whose grand distinguishing principle is, that Americans only should rule Anierica, be- eause foreigners in the main are improper persons! to entrust with the grave responsibility. A Delicate Hist. The administration or gans have been dwelling with so much unction upon the result of the recent election in Pennsyl vania as an endorsement of the Pierce policy, that we cannot refrain from commending to their no tice the following editorial paragraph, extracted from the Easton Argus, a staunch Democratic paper, which supported Plumer and the whole ticket all through the canvass : "We notice that an effort is made in certain quarters to construe the late Democratic triumph in Pennsylvania ioto an endorsement of the pre sent National Administration. It must require a peculiar pair of spectacles to see anv such mean ing in the result, and we pronounce it pure, un adulterated nonsense. In this section of the State, where the largest majorities were given for the Democratic candidates, no one thought of Mr. Pierce or his administration, and no one cared the snap of a finger about either. The victory might with as much reason be claimed as an en dorsement of the course of Louis Napoleon." The Grand Division of the Sons op Temperance of this State held their annual meeting in Charlotte on Wednesday of last week. The following officers were elected for the en suing vear: Richard Sterling, of Greens! oro', Grand Wor thy Patriarch. William H. Morning, of Smithfield, Grand Worthy Associate. A. M. Gorman, of Raleigh, Grand Scrilie. W. M. Johnson, of Alamance, Grand Treas urer. J. G. Arey, of Fayetteville, Grand Conductor. P. J. Lowrie, of Charlotte, Grand Sentinel. Rev. P. J. Carroway, of North Carolina Con ference, Grand Chaplain. The Rothchilds. An article is goinc; the rounds of the press stating that the whole con cern of the Rothchilds is worth $700,000,000 in money capital, besides $300,000,000 more in real estate, mines, &c. So far from this being tlie fact, we understand- that the general estimate in Europe as to the aggregate wealth of the whole concern is 200,000,000 francs, or about 840,000,000. The idea is purely absurd that their wealth. should amount to such ah enormous sum as $ 1,000,000,000, equal at six per cent, to an annual income oi sixty millions oj dollars a sum whieh, in comparatively a tew years, accu- mulating in a compouua ratio, ana doubling- in every twelve years, would concentrate in their hands a large portion of the wealth and property of all Europe. Mat. Int. New York Flour Market. On Thursday the New i ork flour market, under the influence of the foreign news, advanced a zoc per barrel. Hearty 30,000 barrels were sold during the day, including some 10,000 barrels for for ward delivery, at $8 75 h r common State, $9 for Ohio, and $9 50 for extra Indiana for No vember. It is confidently believed that the same Dartv who operated so largely, some two or three weeks since, are again in the market, pur chasing both flour and wheat through tmother broker. Miss Nightingale.-: A correspondent of the Philadelphia .Bulletin, wnting from the hnghsh hospital at Scutari, September 17, says ; "Although this is unquestionably the largest hospital in the world, and, in some, respects! an excellent school for a young physician, yet I am, T "Vwur ul"lVP UUV- , 7 one in authority has, it is true, been kind and at- . 1 l . 1 , 1.

'The most interesting person here, without doubt, is Miss Nightingale, with whom I have had the good fortune to have several interviews My first visit was for the purpose of presenting to her a gift from a lady in Philadelphia. She was in a great store-room of this mammoth estab lishment, dispensing good and uselul tilings, to numerous applicants. I found her a tall, slen der woman, looking younger than her real age, which is about thirty-three, with light hair, blue eyes, and" a very pretty mouth . Ordinarily, her expression ot countenance is almost melancholy, but when she speaks her face lights up, and she becomes very animated and attractive. She is the theme of every one's admiration and praise, both in the hospital aril in camo, and every' sol dier has-given most cheerfully his contribution toward the Nightingale hospital, which is ttf be erected near London to commemorate the noble heroism of this self-sacrificing woman." .. It is said that Archbishop Hughes has issued a mandate directiug Catholics iu this District to cast their votes for Mr. Crosby for the Senate. " " Albany Stale Register. ' . 1 NEWS OF THE DAY.

Ixhitm a N,i0ojSTitrcT. A few days ago, Mr. and Mrs. 'Owens died of yellow fever in Memphis, Teun., leaving seven orphan children, who were subsequently removed to a house which had been rented specially for their accommodation. This gave offence to the residents in the vicinity of the house, and they, foolishly fearing that the childrenmight communicate the disease to them, assembled U) the u umber of about 50, and after night compelled the poor orphans to evacuate the premises and go back to the house where their parents had died. The Burlington (X. J.) American says : "The foreign population in our State has nearly doubled iu five years, while the native has increased only from one-twelfth to oue-eleventh !" An evidence of the increasing influx of return ing "exiles" was afforded on the past Sabbath, by the congregations in attendance upon the services iai the several chuflthes all of which were far jnore respectable in point of numbers than for some weeks past.

An incident is related of a meeting between Marshal Pelissier and General Simpson, on the morning of the 9th ultimo. The latter called at he French lieadquarters to congratulate Pelissier on his victory at the Malak'off. The Marshal, who is very fctout and fat, with greasy, bilious cheeks hanging over the throat-band of his coat, rushed up to small, thin, stooping Simpson, took him to ins hreast, kissed linn on .both cheeks, and said "MalaKott we ttxk well.

For many memorable years the members of the noble old Whig party stood shoulder to shoulder, and sometimes beaten back, and sometimes ad vancing, fought the good fight with their Demo cratic adversaries, and when at last they had lost "all but honor," they retired from the contest, a broken handful, cheered by the reflection that, however unsuccessful they had been, their cause was just, inasmuch as there still, remained, inter fused with Whig principles, those conservative elements most necessary to preserve the peace and material prosperity of the Federal Union. A few years of unrestricted power on the part of their political rivals have shown how necessary to the stability of our institutions was the coun terpoise of a Whig Senate, and of that respecta ble minority of true hearted Whigs in the House of Delegates. Restrained no longer by the weight of the authority exercised by those illustrious men, our legislative halls have been converted into arenas for sectional disputations, and national harmony has been sacrificed to schemes for poli tical aggrandisement. Turning to the executive branch of the Government, we find weak counsels taking the place of grave deliberations, and rash acts compromising the peace and honor of the country. From that quarter we look no longer for an expression of enlarged statesmanlike views, such as at one period commanded the respect of the civilized world; for the influence which the United States was capable of exerting upon the destiny of nations has been frittered away in fomenting squables in Kansas and in knocking j over thatched hovels iu Greytowu. No man ever entered upon office under more favorable auspices than Franklin Pierce. The popular majority in his favor was so decided that opposition may be said to have been reduced to a nullity. A large number of Whigs, disgusted by the political chicanery practised by certain of their party leaders during the Baltimore Con vention, abandoned their old friends and went over in a body to their former rivals. Of the two evils presented for their choice, they selected, as thej' believed, the least hurtful. Bitterly have , they been undeceived. Flushed with victory, the Democrats assumed to themselves all the honor of the triumph, and all the offices in the gift ot the executive; leaving to their Whig supporters the humiliating reflec tion that they had aided in giving a giant's strength to adver saries who were disposed to use it with all a giant's selfishness. The Whigs undoubtedly looked for a lilntrar administration of the affairs of Government. They conceived, having assist ed to elevate Franklin Pierce to the Presidential Chair, he would so far requite their services as to give to his administration a national, rather than a party character. Has ' President Pie-ce thus justified the hopes of those sanguine Whigs who voted for him ? Are not all the public offices filled by Demo crats ? Are his diplomatic appointments, minis terial and consular, worthy of a gre it nation ? Did the choice of Mr. Soule, as Minister to Mad rid, tend to promote friendly relations with Spain ? Was the dignity of the nation properly sustained by bestowing the London C)nsulate upon George Sanders, a rabid Red Republican ? as there no Americau-boru citizen capable of undertaking the duties now performed by Mr. Belmout at the Hague ? Was the removal of Mr. Perry an evidence of a desire on thd part of the administration for an amicable settlement of the Cuban difficulties, or was the Congress of American Ministers at Qstend a proof of pacific inclinings ? Is it forthese reasons that the Whigs are now called upon to join the ranks of the Democrats 1 Is not this the same Democratic party which, for thirty years, hurled incessantly the mast venom ous epithets upon every promipeut man who dared to avow himself a Whig? Is not this the same Democratic party which, rising to power by tne aid ot Whig votes, repudiated Whig support the instant that victory was accomplished ? Is not this the same Democratic party which, in the insolence of its factitious strength, was rapidly filling public offices of trust, profit, and honor, with men of doubtful probity, of grasping ambi tion, and of loose morals ? How, then, can conservative Whigs aid in giv ing permanence to such a party? With what propriety can the daughter of Prospero wed the son of Sycorax ? Let the Whigs pause and re flect before they make so singular a sacrifice of honor and self-respect. Let them survey calmly the present condition ot the nation : its fragments of parties, the numerous antagonisms now Active ly at work, the stormy agitation of the slavery question, the vacillating policy of the administra tion, and the chameleon-like character of the De mocratic platform of principles, and then, if they hnd they cannot consistently act with either ot the two parties now arrayed against each other, let them hold themselves aloof, as a force in re serve, ready to operate with effect wheuever the occasion properly demands their services. Ballimore Patriot. Dallas fob the Presidency. The Wash ington correspondent of the New York Times says, " the friends of the Hon. George M. Dallas for the Presidency are moving steadily, silently and cautiously, in his behalf ; and already the movement is far more formidable than the friends of rival candidates suppose. Prudent and skil ful politicians are laying the wires m each section of the Union ; and every measure calculated to secure success, which can be initiated at this ear ly day, is being availed of. The friends of Mr, Buchanan, however, have taken the alarm, and are endeavoring to get him home again, early as possible, to command his own forces in person. FOR THE REGISTER. Hillsborough, Oct! 28, 1855.

Tuesday, 27th, Clinton, hainpson County Thursday, 29th, Beatty's Bridge, Bladen Co. i ... ,.i , ; FOR TH8 REGIS TEB. ( INFALLIBLE RECEIPT FOR MAKING BREAD. . ; - : : In the first place, there are three indispensable requisites for good bread, Viz: good flour, good yeast, and a careful band. From three quarts of nonr, tane one halt pint in a separate vessel, and scald it with boiling water. Let the paste cool to blood heat ; hen add : ' : ' .! 1 egg, 1 tea-spoonfull of sugar, ':.'- 1 table-spoonfull of salt, 1 cup of new milk, ' 1 do. of well-risnn yeast. Mix the whole well with a spoon, and then, pour ing it into the midst of the three quarts of flour; knead it well, with as much warm water as will make a moderately stiff dough. ' .. Let your bread rise till at least twice its size ; then, after kneading a great deal, mould out your loaves of rolls into smooth, regular forms. Cover them with a clean cloth, after wetting them over with cold wafer to prevent cracking around the sides. Let them rise till, on touching them on one side, they will quiver on the:ppposite side: then wet again, with cold' water, arid bake imme diately. If the fermentation has not arrived at this point, the bread will not be sufficiently light; if it is suffered to go beyond this point, the bread will lose its sweetness. A tin kettle, with a closely-fitting cover, is best to set your bread to rise in particularly when it is set to rise over-night, to be baked in the morning for breakfast. Your bread should be set to rise in a moderately warm place in winter, and a cool place in summer. I use yeast cakes, as more convenient, more easily kept sweet, and less expensive. I make them thus : Boil as many hops as I can grasp in one hand, in a quart of water, down to three half-pints ; then pour it on a cup full of sifted flout, through a sieve or colander; let it get cold; then add a pint of well-risen yeast, and as much Indian meal as will make a stiff dough. Set it by to rise, and, when light, sift your board over with meal, make your cakes thin, and lay them on it to dry. Turn them frequently while drying ; af ter they are thoroughly dry, hang them in a clean bag in your kitchen, to ensure them from moisture. Do not dry them in the sun, or near afire, either will destroy their life. I usually put mine on the highest shelf in the kitchen while drying, after sifting them over with meal, which can be shaken off with the dust which might accumulate on them. That Back Pay. For reasons well under stood and distinctly remembered in his district, Caleb Cushing was twelve years after his first nomination in getting into the United States House of Representatives. Is he going to re quire the same length of time to make up his o pinion on the back pay of Lieut. General Scott ? Place an office one peg higher than the one he holds before the short haired Puritan, and he is as quick to act as a hungry cat with a mouse in her reach. Gen. "Scott is getting to be an old man, and he needs the money which the people's representatives have voted him during his life time, and not to build monuments over his grave. He will not ryeed any. His fame is Written in the blood of his foes on the fields of victory. lei me Aixorney uenerai hurry up that opimon. An honest man can soon tell that twice one makes two. Why this delay ? N. T.

Maria Armstrong (Zi), oi iagartown, JNew Jersey, suffered more than most people from indigestion, accompanied by liver complaint. Several very clever, medical men told her she was iu a consumption, and her friends despaired of her ever recovering, as she had tried every thing they thought likely to benefit uer, witaout success. At last she tried Hollo- way's Pills, which quickly assimilated with the blood, removed the obnoxious matter, and tho roughly clwJinsed and renovated the system. The result is tnai sue was perrectly cured, and now enjoys the best of health. These Pills are also a certain cure for all diseases of the stomach nd bowels. Good. The Balsam of Wild Cherry, bv Dr. Wistar, is doing a vast deal of eood in this season of coughs and bronchial troubles. T.here are few cases but what can be easily cured by this medi cine.

Tliis medicine, coming from a respectable source. ana careiully prepared by an experienced and skillful physician, is received by the public with confidence. Its efficacy has been proved in many obdurate cases of disease, and its lame has ranid- ly extended.
