APOI.OiETICJ
The late scarcity of reading matter in
the co'unjns of the Register U atribula
Uc. to sickness among oar journeymen and
boys. There has not been a day in the last
fire weeks on which a journeyman has nit
been unable to work, and sometimes two or
three have been laid up This, we suppose,
may ho accounted for by the late intensely
hot weather. '
NORTH CAROLINA ELECTION
There are still nine counties to be heard
from. Thus far the whole vote polled in.the
Governor's election is J03J28, by far the
largest vote ever polled in the State.; Ellis
beats Pool about 5,500. Pool gains on the
Bragg and Gilmer vote upwards of 7000,
and on the Ellis and BIcRae rote' about
11,000. This is the state of affairs in North
Carolina, after a most arduous and exciting
canvara, and is an earnest that Bell and Ev
erett will carry the State in November.
While the Union men deeply regret thntthej
VI ht did Pod, rc ars yet to see one who
is discouraged, and who is not uetormined
to go into the campaign for the Presidency
vri'h all his xeal and energy. The Breekin-riJge-Yaneey
Ticket will be beaten to death
in North Carolina. North Carolina will not
be tied to the tail of Sooth Carolina and
Disunion. Mark the prediction. ' , ; .
It will be seenthat the' Union ptrty' has
madem clear gain in the Legislature of 1C
members 15 . in the Iloase, and 1' in the
Senate. - - - ; .
THE 1 Ml f CI. AS COXVENTK1X,
The advocates of the Breckinriage-Tancey
Ticket are emptying their vials of wrath on
the Lead of Mr.'Diek for presuming to call
a Convention of the friends of Mr. Douglas
in this State Now, let ns see what Mr.
Dick's offence is. The Kaleigh Standard
asserts that Mr. Douglas is the fairly nomi
nmted candidate of the Democratic National
Convention.' This Convention appointed an
Executive Committee, aod'Mr. Dick is the
Committee-man' for North Carolina, with
lower to call a Convention or the purpose
of appointing Douglas Electors, and has ex
ercised this power by calling a Convention
which will meet on the -30th of this month.
Mr. Dick's offence bath this extent no
more." Now, let us aee how Breckinridge
and Lane got into the field in North Caroli
na?" They were, according to the Raleigh
Standard, the nominees of a sectional meet
ing at Baltimore, composed mainly of men
who desire to dettroy the Union by " pre
cipitating the Cotton States into it revolu
tion." The action of this meeting has re
ceived no endorsatioa from the Democratic
people of this State. So far from it, the
Raleigh Standard has asterted that the
"weight of preference" among tbe people is.
for Dooglss," tho' the leaders are for Breck
inridge. Breckinridge, .then, is in'the' field
here, cot by the action of the people, but by
'bat of tho leaders. 'In other .words, the
few have endeavored to stifle the voice of the
nony, and this they call Democracy I Bat
be friends of Douglas do not mean to sub
mit to the rule of these self-appointed man
sgersof the Democratic p.rty. They know;
their rights, and will maintain them 'at all
hazards. They will laugh to scorn the at
tempt to prevent them from holdirg a Con
vention The assault on r. Dick for call
ing a Convention is an' assault upon.' every
friend of Douglas in the tale, end ajBUch
will b resented. A Douglas Convention
will be held, and vrill, we predict, be well
attended, tor there ate many more friends of
Douglas in North Carolina than the Yancey
leidera are willing to tjlow. f Tbeu Electo
ral Ticket, when put in the field, will U the
on! j regular Democratic TieVet for the Pre
idency before the people' of 'North- Carolina.

. Hen. James L' Orr,' of South Carolina, late

written a letter ia which he predicts the election
of Mr.' Lincoln, as President of the United SUtes.
He, therefore, thinks that the Southern States
should begin to take action accordingly unlets
they mean to submit - South Carolina, ne says,
cannot withdraw alone from the Confederacy, but
take with ber at least Georgia, Alabama, and
Mississippi, as possestiag sea coast where the riv
ers of the other Southern States find their outlet.
They should thus act jointly, he holds, In demand

isbury Street, and descending the Southern side
walk of Marti a 8lreet,: about half-way ' between
the corner and Dr. Perry's house,' when my atten
tion was suddenly attracted by what, for the mo
ment, I took to be a shooting star, of extraordinary
splendor. . The sky, was clear, and the moon, about
its full, w as high up in the heavens, pear meridian,
and shone with her usual br H iancy. -J: ...
With all these circumstanees to render an ordi
nary shooting star a very pale and nnnoticeable
thing, the object before' me; so far surpassed in
glory any thing of the kind which I had - ever
witnessed, as to fix me in wonder on the spot where
I stood f The meteor arose J to my view, while it
was in the South west, .and apparently about .30
above the horixon. Its course was Northwest
wardly, and seemed gently descending. - Its right
was perfectly white, uniform, solid and welt defined,
increasing in size as it moved. It was not like a
ball of fire, leaving, as it moved, a short and ex.
piring tail Of light ; but teemed rather like aJigju,
created by firing is well defined, but (nvislole train
of inflammable air laid in the atmosphere j.
i The flarae ntnniog in; a compact -body, noise
lely and, with immense speed along the sky, ex
panding as it moved and presenting the figure of a
vast trumpet, or truncated cone, luminous two or
three hundred yards in length . , r
"' When first teen, the volume of flarae appeared
to be about six inches in diameter. ' . . - r
The spot where I stood at . first was near the
centre of the valley eastward of some dwelling-
houses, and of the bill on which Mrs. Tucker's
dwelling-house and grove are situated, so that the
meteor, from its Southwestern position and North-,
ward motion, soon passed behind these obstruc
tions, which formed quite a dense screen, and com
pletely excluded me from all sight of the meteor,
except as it occasionally glimmered through the
branches of the trees. jv So soon as it became hid, I
sprang from among the treason tie side- walk into
the Middle of Martin Street, and secured a clear
Western, horizon,' saving jlhe grove on the hill,
which j lay., to. my. left. ) Here, I 'stood to see
emerge ; from behind the tree.1 Oa H
eame, , as could . clearly discover " through
the ' tree,!, until ' it , was revealed in all , its
splendor against the Weto-n- sky,- without a
shadow to obstruct my,: sight. I had a full and
complete view of this' glorious spectacle,, till it
descended behind the bill , and grove of . Mr.
Boylan'r, where it wholly .. diaaipeared. It
was greatly r increased in size when il ' re-ap
peared from behind the trees, 'and just as it de
scended its head seemed at least 30 feet in diame
ter, and the entire yolamej tapering and extend
ed back apparently hundreds of yards, was of the
same solid,'' well defined white flame,' without
scintillation, without ruffle on the body or jag on
theedgai;v:-vMu-4'. If-' ; '' u-? :
The sight was nt dazzling, norHa the least
painful to the intense gaze of - the eye. On the con
trary, although solid, its surface seemed mellowi
though of the purest white. .;'-'.-;
How it might have appeared in. the absence of
the moon, can only be conjectured. That lumina
ry was then shining in a cloudless night, with
ample splendor to enable me to take the time of
night by my watch, t It was just seven minutes
before 1 1 o'clock, P. M. J '' y ;' J ;
I have since been to the spot where I stood
and am confident that the meteor, while I saw it
passed through" an arc of fifty degrees of the hori
zon, and that its course was just about NortK
1 judge that the time of my obseryation occupi
ed about eight seconds. .. am yours, &o. , X. : ,
