We are, in fact, strongly inclined to It! eve that tbe floating nmerwl, which more cr I-s aill be found in all political organi sation, las in a great degree drifted off from tbe Old Whig rurty, leaving it all tbe stron ger fn.n tie los. of, such unreliable ma'ter. .

But we torn to the article from the National In telligencer : j ! APPEALS TO OLD-LINK WHIGS. ! Our conservative and intelligent eontemnorarv, tbe New Orleans Bee, in remarking on tbe di'or vanized condition of parties in Louisiana, candid' ly acknowledges that fo once it is puzzled and haroly knows bow to definethe principles and po sitions of the rarious candidates for office in that Sat Ruoh in the confusion that ev n the Dmo. I . i . i .i in crais are anxiously inquiring wuero tuey anaii ( gB in the niroui modlrj or parties that has art. that time, i eii on the decline of tbe ancient and com put', or will bo no I g!iiion which once divided the people of L-u- I uiana in common with the whole Union. In this state of a flair we need not say that " Old-Lin Wbi"' rei-eive resiecltul attention from all the several claimants upon the popular suffrages, and the mart earnest appl" are addreMd to their comprehentiv- pariotim." eepvciaJly by the so calW "reeular Democracy " Nor is this importunity peculiar to the Dmo eracr of LouL-iana uApials to tbe Ol.l-Lirie WniKvn have bc--me a undnr; topic with many of our Demcrtc rontemp-rarea, and it was un der thia bed tba the Government journal a few weeks ago rvtnarkd with satisfaction upon "the dHnoiti n manift-sted in many quarters by worthy and enliirh,end citizens, heretofore known as Old Line Wbcs- to c-peraie with the National De mocracv." and tleprcUxl any effort " to re on structthe onranization of their party." To a sim itar purport the St. LuU Republican declares that, in the rwen elections held in the States of Ken tucky, Virgin', and Tennessee, a majority of the pHop!, incliuJinc a laree ponion of those her to fur a- act in if with tbe Whip, have declared lhir prefermve for th Democratic rartv."

For oui-smIv, we take lave to say, in behalf of wbat fHmi to us the mt primary principles of political consitencv a"d prtiri'ty,tbat we regard all such appeals" as 1n the highest degree inop portune, if not imrertinenL The Old-Lin Wbitrs, in conij notion with conservative citizens of every name and denomination, in all part of tbe Union, a Ul be able to ir.U-riret for themselves, at tne pro per time. tb indications which shll mak out tbe rath of duty ir tbe civil conjuncture brought aUut bv the dilurbinir elements of Democratic niL-rule. Whether th authors and abetto-s of that miaru'e bave a prior claim upon the adeeion of Whigs Would reem to mi qu-ftion tbat tomiu oi easy d-Herroinattn Whatever mav b justly or un just lv said against thh Rerabl-an organization of thb North, the Whis of the Union cannot forget, that it owes'ils very existence and derives iu daily foci from the sectional egi'ations pro? ked and fingered by the Democratic prtv. If, therefore, tbe Republican party w re as odious and danjrer cv.i as the Democratic .prw, particularly of th South, is in the habit representing, it would only be o much th more a Cogent and convincing ar gument sgant any affilition with a party which has been the primnl canoe of tbe movement in question. The Repoblk-ana very possibly have been and may still be in dinrer o carrying their fe-!ing of reeninent to a needlets extreme in point of d-fi-nive tctus, and in this line of con duct tbey can expect. a they ask, no co operation fr-no the National Yhic, but we are at a los to understand bow uch a w ant of moderation on the part of tbe former can be construed into a valid claim to therharacter o! conservatism urged in be half of the Democracy, since Ay must.none.the less be beid mainly reiponi-ible for the political cbaos whic" h b-en prci.itated on the country. In the present aspect of affairs we would, there fore, advice again-'t any c-liiion such as tbat into which Oid-Line Whis are fo unctuously invited to ent-r. It does not become the Democracy to address any such appeals to their ancient opponents, for the. Wbigs cannot avoid the conviction tbat thee ex poatulations are the offspring of a simula'ed patriotum. They reroembr tht in other davs the Democracy bad no Mich abhorrence of "coali tien" wiih Freesoilers, and they therefore doubt the genuineness, or at least ihedi-intere&tedness, of tbe advice which is now so gratuitously proffered. Where Ipt tbe Democratic thunders of denuncia tion when a Freeoil Senator of the United States was elected from the.tte of Ma.'eacboetts by a combination of Democrats and Freesoilers against tbe National Whig?; Why oid the sentinels of Democracy neglect to cry aloud and spare not when a similar -fusion" was effected in Verihont, in Cinnec'icut,ant elsewhere at tbe North ? . As late v the year 1854 it is known that Fedora' office holders in the Slate of Maswachusetts were among ihftmost prominent sopporters of the jylition" which bad d-f-'ated the Whig, and some among us perbap bve not quit foreolten' the circum s'ances under which, a distinguished furA:tiona-y in the city of New "jork los. his head for stub bornly; retui-mg t" recognise " the Freesoil wing " of the Democracy n bi appointments to office. While the iu-m ry of thw transaction survives we incline to believe that Whigs will not be greatly rnrtved by the fervent "appeals ' of our Democratie friends, wbo aud lenly manifest so much more w-al for the jolitical virtue of their ancierj adversaries than they forme-ly. showed for their own. V 1 GEORGIA ELECTION. The election for Governor and Congress men took place in Georgia on Monday last. Tbe Democratic candidate for Governor was tbe tl'-n.-Joseph E. lirown, tbs present in cumbent. The Candida e of tbe Opposition was tbe Hon. Warren Aiken. Tbe canvass was quite animated. We annex the names of the candidates of both parties for Con gress. In two of the districts the Democrats bad no opposition: Democrats. 1. Pvter E. Love, 2. If. J.C-awford, OjrposUlon. ( A. T. Mclntyre,. Mareellux Douglas, Thomas Hardeman, jr. William F. Wright, 3. A. M ncer. . 4. L J. Gurtrell. , i 5. J. W. U. Underwood, 6. James Jackoi, 7. Robert G. Harper, 8. J-jhri' J. J.pnee, Joshua Hill, A. R. Wright. Tbe Telegraph reports the re-election of Brown, democrat, for Governor, by a large maj rity, but we have not learned whether bia majority is as large as he boasted it would be when he was nominated, vix : Thirty thou aand. j Keturns from the 7h and th Congression al Distriet.4 also indicate the election of dem ocrat. If so, tbe drmocra's will have gained one "member, as tbe 7th District was repre sented in the last Congress by tbe Hon.' Josboa II ill, an American. P. S.i A later dispatch informs ns that ITarHen, Opposition, is certainly elected in tbe 3rd District, but the Democrats bare. earned all ifce rest or tne congressional del- ea-ai'on, th o,h the contest wai very close in aa m m a a a lta.7b and Bth. THANKS. We are indebted to a friend in Kinston, N. C, for a club of ten subscribers, acoom pnied by tbe money. This is an example worthy of imitation. The present session of Gongresa and tbe ensning campaigns in this State will present matters of interest unsur passed to every citizen who watches the pro gress of events. Now, therefore, is the time to subscribe for the Register and be well posted. Come along, then, with your clubs, and don't bashful. THE RALEIGH" POSTOFFICE HOURS. : We call the attention of the citizens of Raleigh to the communication of "a Laborer" in to-days paper. ' ; While we are snre that the complaints of 'a Laborer," are like others which have been preferred against tbo Postoffice here, well founded, we ar equally strong in the be lief that no redress will be obtained it being tbe settled belief of the Postmaster here that his office is for his own benefit and convent enee, and not the benefit and convenience of the community. SENTENCE OF ERASTUS J. IIOGLE. Erastns J. Hogue, who, it will be remem bered,' was convicted at tbe Spring Term of our Superior Court of tbe murder of S. II. Parrih, but who appealed to the Supreme Court for a new trial, which was refused, was arraigned before Judge Shepherd on Thnrs day last and sentencd to be hung on Friday, he 28th of October, inst. When .asked by the Court if he had an j thing to say why the sentence of death should not be passed npon him, he calmly arose and said that "be was an innocent man ; that be bad not bad a fair trial ; and that if he had bad one hundred dollars when the trial -took place, he would not now be in his present; situation con cluding wi'h the quotation from a speech of Patrick- Henry's : Give me liberty, or give ine death." i Whi'e the Judge was pasting sentence, the prisoner was apparently the most nncouccrned man in tbe Court room. FOtCTHK mSGISTKR. Mr. Stmk : My attention ; has been called to the Postmaster's reply to your very just strictures upon his management,; and I, for one, thank you for concerning yourself about the inconveniences of the " dear peojle," about whom our Postmaster speaks so contemptuously, in bis last card. v Tbe Potiffice was established for these "people," and I am glad to see there is one man in our com munity whosesrmpathies induce him to say a word in their behalf. Let me call your attention to one great grievance to which you do not allude. '. Let u look into the "mail arrangements," published by the Postmaster, and see if the people have real ly no cause of complaint. The Fayetteville mail arrives at 5 o'clock, A. M., 6n Sunday morninsr. TAe Office is not operitd at all on Sunday, j Is this a regulation of the Posioffice Department, or of tbv Postmaster here?- It is a great grievance and should be removed. The city has been subjected "to it under no previous administration of the Of fic ; a;;ain. the Office is closed from 7 o'clock, P. M. to 10 o'clock, A. M. See the inconvenience and absu-dity of this arrangement in an Office es-Ubli.-hd solely for the benefit of the "dear people," a the Potnster sneeringly;designates those by whose aid he was placed in hio responsible po sition. People from the surrounding country ab"rine jople receiving their mail matter through this Office, come to market in the morn ing early and call at the Office for their papers and letters, but the Office is closed till 10 o'clock, A. M.,.an i they are ready to leave town by 9 o'clock, and can't afford to wait They come into town on Sunday, their only " leisure day, and the Office is closed through tbe day. The laboring man in tbe city, one of the dear people whom our aervanJtin sults by his manner of alluding to him, returns from the.labors of the day hungry and weary. After supper and a little rest, he walks to the Of fice for bis letters, but the Office is closed closed at T o'c'ocfc, P. M. He rises early in the morninsr and cxl's at' the Office on his way to his work, or even after breakfast, but the Office is closed till 10 o'clock. A,M. And this is true of every day in tbe week. No laboring man 'n the country or city can get a paper or letten from our Pos'office on any one of the seven days in the week without neglecting his work. Is this law? Do the regu lations of the Department require tbe Office to be closed 17 hours in 24? Is no respect bad to the wants and convenience of those fr whom the Postoffice department was established. The complaints of tbo Postmaster's management ' and the denunciations of his utter disregard of the withes of thecommunity come as loudly and hear tily from bis present political friend as from those witb whom he once acted so zealously. And why should it not be so? A sound, well-tried Demo crat was tnrned out of the Office to make way for him, and if he was removed, a Democrat would, of course, succeed him. His application for the Office was probably signed by as many Whigs as Democrats. There could, then, bave been no po litical prejudice against him at the time of his ap-jointm-nt no political end or interest could be answered ir advanced by bis removal. His polit ical opponents have no peculiar grounds of com plaint. Tbe charge is not that he is . a Democrat, but that he does nut do his duty, does not act with reference to the public convenience ; that tbe Of fice in lw bands, does not; answer the ends for which it was established j that be is controlled, in his official action, solely by 'regard to his own ease and convenience, and all men of all parties, except a faorcd f0w, are aggrieved by that action. His vain appeal to party, endorsed as it is by the Stan dard, carries absurdity upon its face." T ; ' A LABORER. P. S. Capt Scott, -who; preceded Mr White, kept the Office open from sun rise till 9 o'clock, P. M and one hour on Sunday, with half tbs assis tance of the present Postmaster, and Mr.. White ket it open ono hour ion Sunday and' untill 9 o'clock, P. M. J , . Thanksgivino Dat.

We ujideritand (says the Journal of yesterday) that tbe-directori in the Wilmington and Weldon R. R. Co., at their meeting held here last week, let out the contract for the Tarboro' Branch of said road at $132,660. The length of the branch road is to be eighteen miles, and to include a bridge across tbe Tar River. The contractors are to do tbe grading, bridging, superstructure, supply and lay the iron, and alfo the Station Houses, etc , everything in fact,, ready fyr the cars. Adding engineering expenses and land damages, this will still bring the cost of the road within tbe estimates ; of Oen. McRae, and will present, perhaps, the cheapest road: in the country, being under eight thousand dollars per mile. : '- The Petersburg Express savs that the contract for tbe above branch has been awarded to Messrs. David Bissett, of tbat city, and " m. O ; Birchett, ofprrnce George, a carpenters. Tbe .new road extends ab ut eighteen miles southeast from Rocky. Mount, over a very le-el coun'ry, a"d terminates shot distance past larbonv, -in order to accom-: modate planters who would otherwise be compelled to trael much fa-ther to rench Tarboro', on ac count of tbe sinuous character, of the river.' The contract is to be completed by 1860. i i f- MIRACLES NEVER CEASE! THE LATEST PRODIG Y OF SCIENCE. Great truths are indestructible. When Jenner averred that vaccine innoculation was a Safeguard against the smalfpx, the"faculty"sneered. Forty-five years later, the world laughed at Daguerre's firt announcement that he could fix a shadow atid render it, as imperishable as substance. .Even Morse's telegraph was regarded by thousands as a myth, until the fist line was put Up in 1844 Now vaccination is universal, daguerreotypes are as common as wood-cuts, and we talk by telegraph with almost as much facility as across a : friend's tble. . ' ' ' !'- : !' ; Such is necessarily tbe progress ofa grand dis covery or invention in an age like our?; and of this irresistible onward movement of the useful and beneficent in practical science, we have a still more striking example in the world-wide popularity of Holloway's great remedies. If we mistako not, they are scarcely older as an invention than the photograph and the electric telegiaph and yet tbey are familiar to half the human race. -The discoveries of Daguerre and Morse have not ben pplied throughout the whole area of civilization : but barbarian and semi-barbarian races, upon whom tbe light of Christianity has not yet damn ed, have experienced the benefits of these prepara tions. When tbey were first introduced to public notice through the colums of the English press, about twenty years aeo. some of the medical magnates of the day so flea at them, as their prototypes of the days of Jenner and Harvey scoffed at vaccina tion and the theory of the circulation of the blood. list hw is it now ? The name of iloliowav has been rehdeied illustrious by the spontaneous teMi monv of couutlets multitudes. The voice of skepticism has been hushed, and the specious ar guments of professional dogmatists confounded, by the introduction of his Pills aud Oiniimn.t . into tbe medical institutions of the most enlightened nations. ' ' There may oossiblv be here ard there a dogged disciplinarian of the old school,. Who toont see what is patent to the whole world some fojSil specimen, of a bygone age of medical bigotry,; who closes bis ears to the great fact that Holloway's vegeta ble remedies are dipTacing and superseding the mineral poisons; once considered all in all; but such instances of confirmed and hopeless "bid fo?y- ism" are fortunately few. and far between. They will probably be remembered when Holloway is forgotten and not till then. i i N. Y. uNai. foL Qazette.", ' 1 1 ' f : ; S. Presbyterians.

Y., on Thursflay, has already been briefly noticed in the Register. Since then, however,' Mr. Coe has returned iome, and given the particulars of the accident: He savs: i i The sound! accompanying the explosion was about equivalent to the discharge of a musket. In about one minute after jthe descent was so rapid as to increasn the rent injlhe texture of the balloon about titty feet, thus leavin almost the entire up per portion of the air vessel open. In half a min ute after the second rent was discovered there was not a foot of gas in the balloon. For nearly half a mile our de cent was at a most terrific sped ieeling the same sensation that one experiences in a high swinj- in a rapid motion; The silk and cordage, as the balloon oscillated, caused a rat- thng sound like the rigging of a ship in a storm After a while, however,; the balloon, formed itself into a parachute, and our; descent was comparative ly slow and easy. We thus continued downward until able to touch the top of a very tall tree, to which we clung with deith-liko tenacity. SPECIAL NOTICES. . - Consumption and Asthma Cured ! Dr. II.
