Mr. Cotton U knoxa as the Kditor of tbe A.herille Spectator, and his account of Mr. fliogman vpeech has been relied upon to refute the statement of oar correspondent "Clio. For th purpose of doing Mr. t'llogman entire justice, we published his own synopsis of bis own speech, and tbowed eooclojirely that no matter wheth er or not he advocated , Distribution . ti monit he had asserted the principle of that measure in all iU length, breadth and thickness. We showed that if bis proposi tion to return surplus rerenae to the States, upon the principle that u money paid by vtix MV should be returned to the rightful owner, were adopted, that the money so re turned could not be reclaimed by the Federal Government. A plain example will place this matter clearly before the poorest under standing. A has aa account against B, mikes it out, presents it, and receives the amount charged, from B. In a short time, A fiuds out that be has over-charged h to the aiLOunt of $50, and, like an boo eH man, returns to B the money thus "paid by mufaktJ" This u a fair and plain illus tration of Mr. Clingman's proposition, and we ask if any maa will cantend that A has not parted with all control orer the $50 which be returned to B, as "money paid by mittake Is not the 550 the property of B, to be by him dispose i of ai intere -I, in elinatino, whim or ciprice may suggest ? Is not this the very essence of the principle of lMtribatioo, and as wid apart as th: poles from the Deposit" or loan principle, which tie 6re Democratic members of Congress helped to aasert, when they voted for the Deposit Bill, of the last session of Con gress It must be borne in mind that Mr. Cling man, in proposing to re tarn surplus revenue upon the principle of restoring to its owner monty paid by mistake, draws no silly distinction between revenue paid in by . the lands or any other source of revenue, bat proposes to restore all the titplut revenue, no mitttr from te.at tonne derived, on the principle thai d it right to return to the turner "money paid by mistake. A roe will smell as sweet by any othername," and we contend that no matter w"hai Mr. Cling man may choose to call it, he baa asserted the principle, of Diitribujion as roundly as ever did Mr. Clay, or Gen. Jackson, or Mr. Cliagman himself, when in his "high and palmy state" as a Whig. There is not the lightest difference in principle, between re turning to the Slates the proceeds of the tjJtt of the lands, and distributing the lands themselves among the States. We, there fore, ia conclusion, call on Mr. Cliogman as an honest, patriot!) statesman, to cease to cavil about mere words, to abandon a policy which bath gelded the Commonwealth and made it a eunuch, and to come out and lend the aid of bis great abilities to the prac tical vindication of the great principle with which the vast interests of North Carolina are so intimately connected.

We have been no little amused at an arti- cle which appeared So a recent number of the Washington "States, ouJh rabjeetof the administration and Kansas. The ,uIirm ... ... . .

Ption, place in the Raleigh Register was portion of the Southern pres which has had the manliness to denounce Walker's ontra- peons conduct in Kansas condeot, In the language of the Raleigh Standard, well cal culated to bring on "civil war and blood shed ' It is true that tbe "South." br a reasoning which we do not understand, has, t .k:. .:, ...... i ;i9 nnn.:.;nn ujs sv iui3 uut uuc as uuuumiivu v , L Walker, but the common sense of the caan-i ttj-92fttj f"c;s:;iUy !. Twrsr, cgrataiations oar the trans- to Walker, emanating from the State De-1 Uy bright flash of wit, that has ema partment.and his retention as Go7ernor of ; from him- l the expense of our birth Kansas, fasten the responsibility for his acts j P,ace- U 80 agj original that it on Mr. Buchanan, and that every word of censure applied to the Governor, applies with a hundred fold nnre foroe to the President, Common sense and common justice revolt at the idea that an azeat, whoobers the orders I of his principal, is to be punished, while the latter, is permitted to go "un whipped of jus tice." The following is one of the paragraphs in the article of the "States" to - which we refer: Xow, r the MtUfnction of the South." and of all who tnv Inbir uixlor Iouht, ditruts, and iniippr'heiiin, we will Mate what we holier nnv, what we know on thusuhjevt, t wit ; that Mr. Bifc hanan tl' mean, in his instruction, that non but Irgnl bom jue reideU should vote on the Kansas constitution, lie intends to place the voters, on the " question of the ratification of the constitution, under the Mime restrictions that applied trt those w ho voted for members of the eonotittitional convention. hat those restrictions are, the " South" knows as well as we do." ' Now, if Mr. Buchanan, "did mean what the "States" alleges, he took a most extra ordinary mode of making his meaning known, or Governor Walker, a man of great intelli gence, either most strangely misapprehended the meaning of his instructions, or most wil fully, and intentionally, disobeyed them. Now, no one beUeves that Walker, a far abler man than the President, misunderstood his instructions, and the conclusion there fore is, that be intentionally disobeyed them. Why, then, is he retained in . ofEoe ? Wal ker's mission involves no child's play. It is a most important, and at the same time a most delicate mission, with which the peace of the country is most intimately connected. It was for these reason i that Walker was cot only asked bnt importaned to accept the appointment of Governor of Kansas. He was known as a remarkably shrewd, cool, and firm man, the very man for the place, and the Democratic press sang hallelujths to the President for procuring his servioes. But it will be a puzzling task for the "States," or any other Democratic journal, to persaacle the country that Walker did violate his in structions. He and Mr.. Buchanan thor oughly understood each other, and tbe South after w:nning the Presidential battle has been choused out the fruits of victory. OTP" From the following communication to the Richmond Whig, it would seem that Ridge way was right, when he charged the immaculate Governor of Virginia, the world- renowned WLe, with dabbling in the edito rial columns of the Richmond Enquirer. If Wiso really is the . incognito," may we not say of Wise as the sailor said of the fire "What the devil works which blew him np : will be do next!'. . Ma. Editor: Who struck BUly Patterson has heretofore been the unsolved problem ef the age. There is now a more important one to engage ihe investigation of the wi-, and that is, who is the im-nfrmto correspondent of Mr. Pryor in his late affuir with the Enquirer. Ym have heretofore charged Oov. Vi with hsvtnj a finger in these articln. It really scm thnt vo wer right, for, m h, except liov. Vi, could have any desire to conceal his name. I cannot imagine any other man in the State. At any rate Ivt the veil be lifted. It i clear thst the recognized EliUr is not the author, for, he has no incognito' to pre serve. Who lut "Wise can then lie the author? Who else has any rnan to conceal his name, 'proper rponibilitv," or not ?

Junius Jtill stand -Nitibrii nnnunis," hot this is the first in stance of an affair of honor "vmim nomini" in the world. Mr. Pryor is eerWinly one party, and, it is due to the public to know who the Dev il the other party is. Js he the man who struck Billr Patterson or, Is he the roan who struck McDonald ? This is an important question, and, I rely upon you as the organ of Gov. "Wise to elncicUte it. INQUIRER. . " HON. WILLIAM B. FRESTOX. Among the passengers for Liverpool in the Atlantic is the Hon.

DEATH OF HON. JAMES C. DOBBIN. Hon James C. Dobbin, Secretary of the Navv under the late administration of President Pierce, died at Fayelteville, X. C, Tuesday morning, of consumption.

What if the Squirearchy of the county, "with fair round bellies," with good fat capon lined, chickens are decidedly scarce among folks that an7 "squires,") resolve themselves in to "a bed of justice," and order the public square, on which the Temple of Justice is erected, to be ornamented with another tem ple, which throws that of the blind Goddess into the shade !

For our own part, having a capital point of observation, we shall delight to see the fat squires hop in and ont Vof the great temple, with tbe activity of fat men in a hurry. - The next Court, we presume, will deter mine what the name of the Temple shall ba. There are now two factions on the subject of the name, one set of squires going their death on the name of "Mignionette Place., and the other straddling a large hog, on "Lavender Halt.

We hare not received the returns of the vote in this State on Thursday last, and can therefore form no idea of the result in the three Congressional Ditrietsin which there were contests between the Democratic and American parties. Of course the Democratic candidates in tho other five Dis tricts, via : Messrs. "Winslow, Branch, Clingmnn, Craige and K tiffin are elected beyond a doubt. The Free Suffrage Act has also passed. doubtless by a very largo majority, judging from the vote of this County. In this County (Wake) there was quite an animated contest for the offices of Superior and County Court Clerks, Messrs. Moore (present incumbent) and Bunting bving candi dates for Superior Court Clerk, and Messrs. Utley ( present incumbent) and Brown being candidates for the office of County Court Clerk.

SCICIde OF SENATOR RUSK, OF TEXAS. Adrice3 froin Texas state that Senator Riwk of that State committed suicide, at his residence, on the 29th of July, by shooting himself through the head with a rifle. - No cause is assigned For the act. A few days befre his death, he had written a letter, nlluding to rumors of hi indifference to tho success of the Democratic party and declaring his intention to vote the Democratic ticket on the 3d of August. P. S. Since writing the above information has come to hand stating that the cause of Senator Rusk's suicide is said to have been some forgeries with which his brother-iu-law was connected, which were perpetrated on the land Department. Taylor's Saloon, New York. This gorgeous palace of the gourmond, which has been undergo ing the process of re-decoration and re-gilding, was, on Monday, for the first time in all its new ness of splendor, thrown open to the inspection of the public. Tho improvement is said to be great, and the effect of the ornamtation is gorgeous. The mirrors and elegantly elaborated columns of crimson and gold lend an air of luxurious enchant ment to the place that can hardly be described. The artists have made a greater display of colors than in the original ornamentation, which is a ma terial improvement. ANOTHER ACT OF THE BURDELL TRA GEDY, j From the New York Times. of Wednesday. The public were quite started yesterday by the announcement that Mrs. Cunningham, alias Bur dell, had been re-arrested. On this occasion she was not charged with murder, but with feigning the birth of a child under the following circum stances: For sometime Mrs. Cunningham has given out to the world that early in August she expected to be delivered of a child the fruit of her union with the late Dr.HarveyBurdell. To attend her in that interesting situation, she applied to Dr. Uhl, and, after several visits, the Doctor, entertaining suspicions as to her 'really being en ciente, confided his doubts to the District Attor ney. An ingenious plan was then devised for the detection of tbe crime, if any were contemplated. Dr. Uhl returned to Mrs. Cunningham, and pre tending to be in her confidence, drew from her the admission that the projected birth was a hum bug. He, moreover, was offered by her $1, 000 if he would find a newlv-born infant to " acsist ' at the accouchement 'This, under the di rection of District-Attorney Hall, was effectually done. On Monday last, Mrs. Cunningham re ceived from a house in Elm-street the child of a poor woman in Bellevue Hospital ; the "confine ment" takes place the same evening according to rule; an " accoucheur" (Dr. Catlin) and a " mid wife" are in attendance ; tbe cries of Mrs. C.ibrced from her by tho " pains of labor," are heard even by the neighbors ; and while, with a mother's love, she is fondling her " newly-ljorn" infant enter Police officers, who change somewhat the denoue ment of this curious drama. Mrs. Cunningham, Dr. Catlin the " accoucheur," and the M midwife" have all been arrested on the charge of felonious ly pretending that Mrs. C- had given birth to a child who would be entitled to inherit the property of tho late Harvey Burdell. It is proper to add that Mrs. Cunningham persisted yesterday in de claring that the child was her own. Souther "Wheat. "We are gratified to learn, says the American Farmer, the advance that is taking place in the cultureof wheat in the far South. The crops raised in Georgia, Tennessee and South and North Carolina, will bo greater by far this year than has ever been produced, and of the finest quality. A large portion of this wheat finds an outlet in the ports of Savannah and Charleston, and, although some of it is sent North, there is a good market for it ; in Spain, there having been exported from Charleston 'alone, during the past year, upwards of 60,000 bbls. of flour, which is said to be equal to that raised in that country. We rejoice to see this evidence of prosperity in the South it is a movement iri1 the right direction, and if our brethren would follow it up, they would soon show to the world their independence of all the ne !exsaries and blessings of life which are placed within their reach, only requiring them to stretch forth their hands to secure them to themselves and posterity. ! - , ' ' i . The Crops in Efrope. The latest advices from Europe are to the effect that the crops in all parts of Continental Europe promise arich harvest, and that, as will he seen by the reports of the dif ferent markets, Breadstuff are declining in allN markets. In some parts of Germany farmers have already begun-to harvest their rye crops, and bread made of new rye flour was in general use and pronounced tot good quality. The Tobacco plantations in Southern Germany have been much refreshed by late rains, and promise a good crop. The Grape Vines in Germany have ceased bloom ing, and single berries have reached the siee of small peas. If the summer should continue as it has begun, the wine of 1856 will he outdone by the product of 1857, both in quantity and quality. GEN. HEN NINGSEN MOVEMENTS OF GEN. WALKER. A despatch from Washington says that on Monday afternoon, Gen. Jienningsen and his brother-in-law, Dr. -Bell, left j that city for the South, to . visit the wife of the former, now in Georgia. Those best informed in regard to Wal ker's movements, say that Henningscn's visit is for the purpose of conferring with Walker in- relation to a new expedition for the invasion of Nicara gua, to start from some point near New Orleans about the 15th of October. - j ' : ResignatiOx of ArmT Ofpicers.

The Scott .

The survey for the Cumberland Gap railroad passed through the arch of this bridge. It is, perhaps, the Wildest and moat stupendous curiosity in the "United States, and yet it is comparatively un known. "Citt of Mokehead." The Salisbury Watch man learns that at the late meeting of the Stock holders of the Shepperd's Point land company, had at Beaufort Harbor, it was resolved to lay off a city at that point, and to bring the lots to sale, some time in the month of November; and that it was unanimously resolved to name the city af ter its founder Morkh bad. .

TERRIBLE RAIL-ROAD ACCIDENT, , ; It is our duty to record a very serious acccident which occurred on. the Wilmington and Weldon railroad yesterday afternoon, by which several persons werejnore or leas injured one or two, it is thought, mortally. , . : . About 4 o'clock in the afternoon,' as the down train from Weldon. got within a short distance of the trestle work over Yellow Marsh, eight miles this side of Goldsboro', the axle of the driving wheel of the locomotive broke The engineer and. ing it impossible to stop the caw, before reaching the trestle work, endeavored to rush the train over and reach the embankment on tbeother side. The trestle work at this point ii short, but some twenty or twenty-flve feet in - height., The train passed over, but just as.it did so, the car3 were thrown off the track and down the embankment, the locomo tive in it disabled state tearing up a portion of the sleeperYand rail. . .The engine and tender re mained upon the track. . The baggage car rolled down the gully. The - smoking car rolled over several times some distance from the road ; the passenger rears, containing some twenty-five or thirty passengers,' were thrown off, the last one rolling over several times.1 These cars were all smashed up. Persons were immediately despatch ed to Goldsboro' for assistance, and some of the injured parties were taken there, some placed in the neighboring houses, and those slightly injured, or who escaped unhurt, were brought here this morning. ; - ,: : The following persons, so far as we know, were injured by this dreadful accident. Cart CD. Ellis, I -of this town, head cut and lee snrained - : c "F - a. i-. xw-owumg, JJonductotortha uain,injures in the bacfc, confined to his bed.- Mr. Little, Agent for Adams & Co's Express, seriously iniured, (taken to Goldsboro.") j Thos. Cromelin, of Mongomery, Ala., head cut ana leg oruisea; arrived this morning covered with blood, but is not seriously hurt. Mr. C. was ac companied by his three sisters, one only of whom was mjufed and that slightly. ; Ellas Bell, of Johnston County, slightly hurt. ' Anether young man from same county, name not known, considerably bruised, carried tb Golds boro. ... " , . - Mrs. McKnight, an elderly lady of Charleston, S. C, was severely injured. She was taken to the nouse of Mr: Rhodes, near the scene of tho accident, where her wounds were dressedv and every atten tion paiI her. She is still at Mr. R's house. It was reported this morning that she was delirious, and fears 'were entertained for her recovery. Several other persons,names unknown, were ta ken to Goldsboro. extent of injuries, we could not ascertain.. .' : . , j .' ; " :.-';':". -"; A negro man named Curtis, a train hand, slight ly hurt. A negro woman ' of , this placo, said to belong to the Langdon estate, was injured serious ly. It is thought she will die. . , ; , . Also a negro woman owned in Augusta, Geo., seriously hurt. j -.-;"'.,,.., v Fortunately a number of passengers escaped unhurt, among whom we . may name Mr. Hall, tho Sheriff of .this county, Mr. Burkhimer and Lady, two daughters of Capt Ellis," and Miss Moore, all of this town. ' The train at the time tho, axle broke was going at a moderate speed, otherwise it is probable that many lives would,have been lost. As it is, how ever, it is the most - painful 7 and terrible accident that has ever happened on . the road. It is attributable to no neglect or fault on the part of any person, as we have . been informed that no human foresight could have guarded against it. . . The injury to the track is unimportant, and is probably repaired ere this, so that there will be no detention in the tranmission of the mails and pas sengers; - . . . : Lckt Escape from a Horrible Dcath I We have received a letter from Pine Level, N. C., giving jan account of a dreadful accident which happened at the distillery of Messrs- Nathans' & Dible's in Johnston county. It seems that while the stiller was taking oil' the cap of a turpentine still he stumbled and pitched headforemost in the hot ro:in, and then, without any assistance, jump ed out. The man was still alive on the 4th inst., and is expected to recover.
