We respectfully say to onr worthy friends cf tbe Elizabeth City State, that it is not onr purpose to hive 4ny controversy with out friends about the appointment and authority of th- Executes Committeelf -the Opposition; Pai'ry. Vbiever may b our individual opinion in (he premises, e cheerfully waive it for the sake of barmon;, whieh, if properly caltirated, will enable' 03 to fully redeem the S'ate next summer from tbe galling thraldom in which it has for years past been f kept by the Democratic pryi " ' ' 1 Our purpose, in suggesting a Convention in December, was to take advantage of. the feeling among onr friends, which was aroused by our glorious successes last Au gust, j We believed that prompt proceedings in tbe right direction would be of infinite ad vantage to oar cause, and our suggestion was seconded by tbe Opposition Pres of the State wuh singular unanimity. It mast be remem bered, however, tbat the surges ion of a par ticular day in December, for the meeting of tbe Convention, did not come from us; "bat from that sterlinz Opposition paper, tbe Wei-; don Tatriot. The editor of tbat psper, wd have no doubt, like curelf, will readily ao quiesce in another day as the time of assem bling be Ccoven'ion, and with the. "State," we hope the Executive Committee will so far heed tbe gnenl ih expressed throughout the Sta-e for a Convention in December as to same tome day in that month, and t give no tice of it promptly. Our friends, of tbe 4Stae" have no we expeet, diligently stu died their almanac. On reference to it they will find that tbe "second Thursday" in De cember ia only one ddj farther off than the fir.-t Wednesday. i ; Ia coonecti -n wi'h the above, we respect fully urre upon our Opposition friends the expcdi ocy of. promptly holding meeting in eerj County for the purpose of appointing Dt legates to tho Convent ionr Tbat tLe day of the assembling of 'be Contention has not been named, need cause no delay ill the hold in; of these meetings and Appointing the dele gte. A dy will soon be fixed npoq defi nitely, and made known io time to enable tbe delegates appointed to reach the post of duty in time to be present at the orgamxitioo of the body so replete with interest to the Op position party of North Carolina. VECETAULE EGGS.i We are indebted o Cardinal Walh, of the Warrentoo News, for a couple of,' vegetable eggs, which grew upon' a vine which runs on b;s porch. TLe eggs ar about thjs size' of goose egs, and so much like; them that tbe difference be'ween them can only be ascer tained by the touch. - The Cardinal, with his usual facetiouness, wrote oa one of these eggs Llack Republican gg," and on the Qlbr, a Demoeratie Egg, forgetting in his fun that be was proving what we have charged, that there was no difference except in name between DIack Republican and Dem ocra'ie eggs," for tbe eggs" he sent as are as much alike as two black-eyed peas. . , . . , , . i . 4 , RAILROAD ROUTE THROUGH.

Tha bove very deliberatelj expressed, and sow repeated determination of ours, has giv en, still gives, and wUl con tin ae to give canse for the venting of a vast amount of pious in- dignation by some of oar Demooratio onn temporaries, y They tarn np their eyes in holy berror at our case, ana aneot to think as r I staff said, that we are little better than. one of the wicked." Citixen ' II olden has been the leader in calling attention to our fearful ly anti-Southern (!) position. Day after day, be, good souf, bas found time, -. in spite of the sea of domestic troubles which threatens to wreck and strand him, to preach homily after homilj upon, the text with which we bare ' , farnbhd him, and one , who "does'nt know bim and his own position would naturally sup pose that our ease deprived him of "sleep o' bights." To such, we beg leave to say a word or two. The Citixen's talk, his affected indignation and holy horror, are all "put on," all gas and gammon, to hide . what he intend to do, and which is inconceivably worse than anything we ever proposed deing, or rather proposed leaving undone. ThetJit ixen acts upon the principle that it is toe cue of the pickpocket to be loudest in crying "stop thief." Lie has got himself in the worst predicament in which an unfortunate pub lie man was ever canght, and he -will leave no means untried to divert attention as far as possible from himself. But, the Citisen', tho' trying hard, in bis indignatnn at ns, to play what Hostess Quickly would call tbe part of a "harlotry player," will not succeed quite as well as the "fat Knight" in ftct he. will not Bucceed at all, as we will show. After denouncing Donglas in unmeasured term, and charging him with co-operating with Black Republican during a session of Congress at which, a subject of vast impor tance to the South, was disposed of, the Citi xen is now ready to support him for the Pres idency, although his position now is a great deal worse than it was when he was first de nounced by tbe Standard, Between a Black Republican, ea nomine, and Douglas, whatev er difference there exists, is, in tbe opinion of the Richmond Enqurer and other high Dem ocratic authorities, in favor of the former. The Enquirer urges, and with, force too, that if war is to be made on the rights of shareholders in -the Territories, th battle should be fought on the great field tef Con gress, where the South his a representation to take care of her rights, and in the face of the Nation to protest against and resist the in vasion of tbetq, and not in a remote ani hardly discernible corner of this vast empire,' where squatters, foreigners, and the emissaries of abolition aid societies, will sweep away by sheer and brute force every barrier which the South may .erect against the invasion of her rights. The Enquirer therefore thinks Sew ard less objectionable than Douglas, whom the Standard proposes in a certain contingen cy to support. The sentiment of the En quirer is fully and loudly echoed by the Hon. Eli ' Shorter, of : Alabama, who in a recent letter says, among other things-: M Douglas ia a great man in many sense of ihe word : crvat in talent, in oratory, in ambition. and i trtam.fi to theSuulh and hu old party, which baa ahowr-red its honors upon turn cut tie will flrvt 1 bat the Stat a Kight Democratic party it far greater thnn hiimelf. lie rtanda not a. shadow of a chace for the nomination at Cbarketon , I oould a toon expect to rti, that Convention nominate Seward HaU.ot Guiding, as Dovglax. I WOCLD TOTE FOR OSXOTTUKM A KOOIf A3 I WOULD TOT OK HIM.' .I . . You se, now. Citizen, how far as a cham pion of Southern Rights, you lag behind your compatriots, and we. mean to show yon how far as a true friend of the constitutional rights of the Sou'h you lag behind aye, immeasur ably behind usk . Douglas is either a Blek Republican like Seward, or a worse Bhck Republican than Seward,. and yet, J'rotten egg" as be is, yon will choose bim, while we will do no such thing as between a Black Republican end a Democrat we make no choice, they being both "very rotten eggs." You will take "a rotten egg," a man whom some of your Dem ocratic compatriots say is more objectionable to the Sooth than Seward and a man whom a year agio yon denounced for co-operating with Black Republicans tee will do 00 such thing, and yet you denounce us for not fol lowing your example ! . Is it necessary to say more to unmask tbe grossly inconsistent position of the Raleigh Standard, and expose the gross effrontery of it and its subordinates in attacking ns for saying 'hat we would "make no cAoice between a Black Republican and a Democrat," when if Douglas a worse than a Black Republi can of the Seward stamp is nominated, they will support him ?

We deem it an act of editorial courtesy to our ancient friend, the "Old" Spirit or TBI Times, and one of the oldest weekly paper in the Union', to say, that it is not identified or involved in any way in the controversy recently brought before the public through "Porter's Spirit," and "Wilkes' SriRiT or the Times," a mistake that U not alto gether unavoidable, the names of the papers men tioned being nearly the same.'

In his Augusta speech, in speaking of the Post-office Appropriation bill, Senator Toombs, of Georgia, said : , " stood cifh vis fate in my hand, and I stamped it under my feet." And yet tbe Democracy have tried to put ' the crushed bill under the heels of tbe Opposition, and endeavored to throw the: whole responsibility upon them. -We hope they now see where the re sponsibility properly belongs. -r- r"' .; 3 The Dajtville ComrECTioK. We learn from tbe Richmond Dispatch of Friday last that a meet ing of the Richmond Board of Trade was held on Wednesday night, at which Mr. J. J. Clarke, of North Carolina, made a statement of ihe projected extension of the Danville Railroad south wettward ly into North Carolina. The Board listened to his expose with interest, and appointed a commit tee to moet and confer with the friends of the im provement at Wentworth, Rockingham county, North Carolina. is'v - .'.'-f We understand a . personal difficulty occurred at Murphy, Cherokee county, on Saturday the 10th insL, between Col.

The engine, ten der, and three passenger cars were thrown off the Ixaok into a confused mass entirely "smashed ap." The road itself for twenty or thirty yards was completely torn up,-sills, iron, and every thing. 'The strangest fact of 'all, hi connexion with the accident, is that, although "eight" or ten persons were sliehtly injured, not one wasserioos- hurt or killed. All the cars, tnrown on tne track were well filled with passengers. The regular Utah- oorresponden t of tb 0 New York Times presents a melancholy picture of that ill-governed territory! The execution of the tews is entirely defeated by the boldest acts of outrage anu criminal violence, which the judicial authon- tie cannot, and tbe executive powers will not re nresa.

LOSS OF LIFE ' 20 HOUSES DEMOLISHED. A friends writes us from Rockingham the par ticulars of a dreadful hurricane which swept over Richmond county and the upper pan of Marl boro' District S. C, on the 17 th inst. The des truction of dwellings, crops fcc, appears to have been terrible, and it is feared one pr two lives have been lost So far as heard from, 20 houses are reported as completely Mown down ; while the number unroofed and otherwise damaged, is al most unaccountable.

The Corn blown j out of the fields into the swamps, is represented as bnng many thousand bushels. : Pine trees, two or three leet in diameter, were taken up by the rots and carried two and three hundred yards. , Light Wood stumps in the open fields, were torn up and blown away. 1 1n fact such . wind has never - been oxgeneuced in tbat aeotion before.- WiL Herald -. . (DRNpNCIATTON OF DOUGLAS. Is The light of truth is at last beginning to dawn upon the minds of at least some of the Southern Democracy. For. example,, the Memphis Avar lanche, a leading land ably conducted Democratic . paper, is beginning to realize the consequences of Douglas' scheme to elevate himself to the Presi dendy by the agitation of the slavery question that necessarily followed the. passage of the Kan sas-Nebraska bilk ' In a recent issue, it saidand do put this in your "scrap-books": ; " The truth is, Douglas has inflicted greater in jury on the South than any other man in the Union, for he really created the Black Republican party. Before he began his demagoguery we had half hi free States, and now to recover these States he manifests a willingness to sell and de grade all the Southern States. During the hist . nveyeare Douglas has contributed more than all the Abolitionists put. together to build up tbe strength of the Black Republican party.. By his selfish ambition be has done much, toward dis ' turbing Ue peace of the country, and alienating the two sections of the. confederacy. But for his aspirations the Democratic party would be harmo nious and united,' and there would not be one-half of the bate that exasperates the two sections. Stephen A. Douglas is the most dangerous man in the; Union, lie should be driven from tne coun oils of the nation." j . .. ..;:'.!'.'. ' This is indeed frank and candid, and affords a ful and satisfactory vindication of those who op posed the passage of the Kansas-Nebraska bill. The opponents of that measure saw in Douglas1 movement as we. confess we did not the germ of a great and oyershadicg sectional party that would inevitably) prove too strong for the South and they warned; the. Southern people of the dan gers that threatened them. But the Southern peo ple ha opened their eyes'at. last, and even De mocratic journal and statesmen now -assert that the Kansas bill was "a cheat and a swindle."; Seec what the Avalanche says in regard to Douglas; It confesses that Douglas ureally created, the Republi can, party." xt admits that ne "has aone more th'rn all the Abolitionist put together to build up the strength of thet Black Republican party I" i And bo we say. We indorse every word in the above paragraph. But, for the demagoguery of Douplas and other Democratic leaders, there would have been no Black Repuulican party at Nortb-i-the " peace; of the country" would not bave been j'dis turbed"' and thei "two sections of the confederacv" would not have been "alienated." . All this is as true as g.pel. ' : . , ' tit cannot be denied,", says the Louisville Jkur Bali, in a recent article upon this subject, '-.that Senator Douglas,! and those who co-operated with him in the repeal of tbe Missouri Compromise, and the bringing about tha Kansas-Nebraska bill, re-opened the' flood-gates of .slavery agitation: This interests of the South bave gained nothing of stability from tbe. disturbance of the- compromise finality, of 1820 ; 'on the contrary, though fortified apparently by the judicial prdSeedmgs in. the Dred Scott case, they have actually suffered detri ment. We feel that all the territorial possessions of ihe Union are now lost to the South, because we cannot send many emigrants and can send but few slaves there "J our labor being needed to sup ply the wants of tbe bid Southern States, while the North is receiving, on its seaboard, constant accessions of population by foreign immigration, that invariably find their way to the frontier and locate on the rublic lands. These people are averse to slavery as an institution, from ; early prejudices and inculcations: and constituting, as they do, a second and entirely different grade of lator from tbe African, they deem it for their in terest to keep slavry away from their new Wes tern homes. Mr. Dougla knows this, of course, and hunce it is, that, while he proclaims himself a national Democrat, he promulgates 'principles which are as sectional and anti-slavery as ever emanated from Wendell Phillips or Lloyd Garri son."

Suicide or Major Chapman at Old Point CoMFORT.By intelligence from Old Point Com fort, we learn that'Major W. W.

It appears he was subject to attacks of mental depression, and during the fore noon he sent for Dr. Cuyler. the surgeon, and consulted with him concerning Bis health. Sub. sequently he appeared on parade and review on the c-casion of the visit of Gov, Fkyd, Secretary Of War. Nothing unusual or indicative of the iontemplation of the act that was so soon to star ile the community was detected in his manner. About 12 - o'clock, after dismissal.
