TO OUR SUBSCRIBERS.
Furjbe first time daring a career of twenty-five
years as an Editor and Publisher, an
attempt has been made to render us the vic
tim of a Printer'rSirike." That this at
tempt has been most unjustly made, is proved
by two undeniable facts. 1st. We have al
ways paid punctually the wages earned by
compositors in our employment. 2ndJ We
are psying to Journeymen now 30 cents a
thousand eats. These wages are as high as
are paid in the Daily Newspaper Offices in
Richmond . and Petersburg, ia which a good
deal of night work is done,, and tbere is not
a compositor in this State, who is Master of
his Trade, who will venture to state thai the
compensation is not fair and reasonable,' add
every printer ia Raleigh, wEo belongs to the
Typographical Society, A: notes thai 30 ccnis
a thousand ems is 1he price demanded by' the
.hiociaiion. Under these circumstances,
the compositors thought proper without the
slightest notice to leave our employment, and
under these circumstances we have to invoke
the forbearance and indulgence of our sub
scribers until we'eau supply our Office with
compositors. We shall do this at the earliest
practicable moment,', and have already by
means cf the Telegraph taken steps to sop
ply our want. We shall get good composi
tors, compositors who can earn good wages by
prin'ing for 30 cents a .thousand ems.' .
The participators in this attempt to extort
money from us, chose, as, they thought, a
good time for iu Tbey knew that we were
unJ?r contract to publish the "The Church
Intelligencer," and - were of opinion that we
would not at. this stage of the Presidential
canvass, sufler the publication of the
Register to be suspended no matter what
wiges we might have to pay to com
positors. .Tbey know now, we expect,
on how sure a basis their plot was formed.
I is due to our fellow Proprietors that we
thould state who was the ring-leader in this
extortionary plot. , Be is a tall and stout
man by the name of Forrer, who came to
..this place some' weeks sinee for the ostensi
ble purpose of , selling . Xeedlt-Threading
Machines. lie, however, stock to this busi
ness but a few days, and applied for and ob
tained employment as a compositor in th's
. 0&c. lie is a good workman, and; the
eek preceeding the Strike earned- upwards
tf 511 at the price of 30 cents a thousand
aj. ,. . . - , - 1 : -

uvain the action cf the Sinkers.

est. Wbtn the Conititatioa of the United
: SutM does not Und in the wit of their

When, however, this s&me Constitution is an
obstacle in theif path1, tUy do not hesitate
! known, in precise accordance with the , pro-
; visions of the Constitution in regard to finch
ielection ". They have the Constitutional nam-
jbrof Electors in every State h which they

by the people, they will, claim that be has
Constitutionally been elected' President, cti
if he gets votes eooogh to oarry him into
the House of Representatives, they will take
their chances there, and if he should be elect
ed, they will claim that he has been Consti
tutionally elected. Up to this moment, they
abide bv the Constitution. But if their can
didate is not elected by the people, and fail
to get into the House, and a certain com
petitor is elected, eitnor by tne people, or me
House, then these friends of Breckinridge
who stuck to the Constitution as long as it
suited their purposes will ignore its provis
ions, and break op the Union which was cre
ated by it. Tbey will not await any act of
Lincoln's violative of the Constitution, and
aggressive upon Southern Constitutional
Rights, but at once declare the Union to' be
at an end. Such a course, we say, will be
dishonest, and as disgraceful as would be the
conduct of a man who would set down at i
game of cards, and play as long as he won
bnt the moment be began to lose would grab
the stakes, and break up the game.
MESSRS. CLINGMAX AXD McRAE.
We take from tbe National Democrat the
annexed report of the "colloquy" between
Messrs. Clingman and McBae, on theocca
sion of the jubilee ,M together with tbe Edi
tor's comments on it.
Colloquy between Mr. Clingman and Mr. Mc&ae
at the Vtmoeratic Barbecue. : j
Mr. Clingman in tbe courte of his ppeech, re
marked, "if an v man in .North Carolina should
be be and mean enough to hold of&ceunder Lin
coln if he should be elected "
- At this moment Mr. McRao enquired respect
fully of Mr. Cliogman "if this was e Democratic
meeting' to which Mr. Clingman replied it was."
Mr. McKao ; "I desire then to ask the honora
ble Senator this question,1 at this time there were
cries 'no this ia not a Democratic mooting, it ia
n Breckinridge rose tine put him out, free poll
er," dec ' ' '
Mr. McRae: "You hare published this as a
Democratic meeting to be participated In by all
who united in sustaining the State Democratic
ticket." ... i..
The Chairman then requested Mr. McRae , to
put his quwtioo. ; ' -' i
. Mr. McBae: "I desire to ask the gentleman if
be means that on the election of Lincoln without
any overt act on his part, of aggression, the ope
rations of the goverament shall be stopped in
North Carolina by all citizens refusing to fill the
Government offices?"". ...
Mr. Clingman : "I will answer your question
bv askine another. Will you accept ofice if
Lincoln is elected 7" .
Mr. McRae: "He will be more apt to offer
you an office than me, for he would be ungrateful
not to reward those who are in effect aiding bis
election." ' f . '
Mr. uungman : "inaiisan evasion."
Mir. McRae: "Very well, I will answer; tbere
hi no office in North Carolina that I could take
I without a sacrifice, but' while I would be perfect
ly independent of Mr. Lincolo, detesting bis prin
ciples, and bound to the South by every interest
and feeling', 1 would, if it should be neceefary in
order to carry on tbe Government in the State,
consent to fill an office even at a personal tacri
with the understanding that I would shoul
der my musket against Mr. Lincoln on the first
act ot aggression. 1 1 recognize no propriety In
dissolving the Union, bxau?e of Mr. Lincoln's
election, and s'ill less by such act of revolution.
f r tha Aral. a(rTFMA&iva ant Kv 1r T."nvln T
would shnuIdeAny musket and march as far as1
tbe honorable Senator." -l
Tbe public will see from the foregoing that
Yancey iam and Disunion are spreading. II ere ia
Mr. Clingman, who was a Douglas man at the
Baltimore Convention, now declaring that "all
citiaens of North Carolina should refuse office in
the event of Lincoln's election," and thus put an
end to the Union. r
Let us s?e how this, will operate. The Post
Masters are to resign, and all mail communica
tion is to cease. Business men are to be cut off
from their correspondence, and the Post Office
medium of communication is to be lost to tbe
press and tbe people. ' ,
The collectors are to resign and foreign vessels
are to be permitted to enter our ports free of the
laws of the Unl-ed States.
The federal Judge, Mr. Bigg, with bis clerks
and jurors are to refuse aervioe, and tbe United
State Courts are to refuM to suitors the trials of
their suits all this is the legitimate and necessary
result of Mr. Clingman's.enunciation, that it will
be bate and dibbonrable for any one to hold Of
fice under. Lincoln's administration. . .. ..
Of course it Mr. Clingman ttubks it "base and
dishonorabW for Southern men to consent tt
hold the offices, and his Southera colleagues agree
with him, the Senate will refuse to ratify, all
Southern appointments, and then, without any ac
tion on the part of the people, an act of revolu
tion in tbe Senate will stop the action of tb Gov
ernment in tbe Smith and put an end to the Union,'
' Are the people prepared for this before any act
of aggression, and in the face of the fact, that tbere
is a Democratic majority loyal and true, with Ste
phen A. Douglas at iu head, who c. n hold in
check every name of Mr. Lincoln; and we have
Mr. Douglass assurance to toe Tact that po will
unite in bringing Mr. Lincoln or any one W to
condign punii-hmont wbo will dare to aHtil tbe
constitutional rights of tbe States. . . . ; ,
No, sir, tho "People" are not prepared for
this. But the Breckinridge Disonionists are
'prepared'' for it Abram Venable is "pre"
pared" for it. W'eldon Edwards is prepared
for it, and divers otbeis of less cote are "pre
pared" for it, and will try to "prepare", the
people for it. It is the Yancey, Boyce s &
Co. scheme. But we tell these fire-eaters
that the people of North Carolina .' ca7 bo
"prepared" for a scheme to ' tuck -this Old
State to the tail of South Carolina in her
exit from the Union. But there is one thine
tkst thepeopU of North Carolina ere prt-'
pared" Jot. They are "prepared" to do their
part in preventing the occurrence of the con
tingency, to bring on which is the sole pur
pose of the friends of Breckinridge. They
are "prepared" to give the vote of this State
to John Bell, between whom and Abe Lin
coln the choice is now narrowed down.
That's what the people of North Carolina are
"prepared" to ; do, ajirf that's what they
will do, as surely as the sun is in the firma
ment.
QtF" Our Uoiou exchanges will please take
notioe that the name of General Robert M.
Henbt, of Macon County, has been substitu
ted for that of Tod. R. Caldwell, Esq.,'? on
the BeU' and Everett Electoral Ticket. Mr.
Caldwell's reasons for declining to serve, as
ant Elector, are stated by him in a letter in
to-day's paper. No firmer friend of Bell and
Everett than Todd R. Caldwell, can be found
in the Union. While we regret Mr. Cald
well's inability to serve as an Elector, we are
rejoiced that his place is supplied by as com
petent agentleman as Gen.' Henry, who is in
every way 'qualified, to arouse the public
mind for tbe Constitutiqn, the Union, and the
enforcement of tbe Laws ! ! " '
Box. WitDOK X. Edwards. A paragraph
is going tbe rounds of the Opposition paper, in
which a remark said to be made by Mr. Jul wards
at a meeting in Warren county, is pretty severely
animadverted upon. Tbe remark attributed to Mr.
Edwards, is to the effect that be preferred tho
election of Lincoln to that of Douglas. Now, we
saw Mr. Edwards last week at Ralbigb ; and in
reference to this very matter, be remarked to us,
that be had been wholly misunderstood, and out
of that misunderstanding had arisen tbe misrep
resentation of his views that had gone abroad.
lie bad commented with considerable severity up
on tbe squatter sovereignty views promulgated by
Judge Douglas, which, "In some respects, he con
sidered more dangerous, because more i isidious
than those of Lincoln, lie had not said cer
tainly bad not intended to say that be preferred
tho election of tbe latter. Wilmington Her aid.
We don't know what Mr. Edwards "in-
tended" to say. We only know what he
did Bay. Mr. Long beard him say it, and'
there i cumulative proof that he did say it.
If he did iiot say it, why did Mr. Tenable
take Mr. Lone aside and . tell him that he
did not endorse Mr. Edwards sentiments
If he did not Bay it, wby has not his organ,
tbe Warrenton News, contradicted the state
ment that he -did say it But see what the
News avs cf that part of Mr. E.'s remarks
which refers to Douglas and Lincoln : 'He
(Mr. Edwards) considered Douglas and John
son as much (a higher law' party as that of
Lincoln and. Hamlin." Mr. Edwards dee-
aration that he "preferred Linooln" was
rather too strong for Mr. Walsb, and he re
ported it fine. Bat Mr. Edwards novo tells
the Editor of the Wilmington ' Journal that
be prefers the election of Douglas to that of
Lincoln. How can that be bo, when, but a
few days before, he said, according to his
home organ, that "he considered Douglas and
Johnson as muoh 'a higher law party as that
of Lincoln and Hamlin ? ' W here's the pre
ference here ! - i.- . '
We clip the following from the Raleigh Jtegis-
tcr cf the 1st inst.
We learn from a gentleman who was present,
that the lion. Weldon i. id war as said in a speech
at Warrenton on Tuesday last that he greatly pre
f erred Lincoln to DougUu. ; i
Y hat do you thmk ot tbal Uiuzen tiowen 7
It looks very much like your conditional Ticket,
doe? it not Y ' Is it not a beautuul sentiment to
come out of the mouth of a North Carolina Dem
ocrat? , . '
Is this true ? " We cannot believe that any int
lelligent'man in North Carolina is so prejudiced,
and so utterly forgetful of the many important
servijcea rendered to the South and .o tbe country
at large, by J udge Douglas, as to give utterance
to such a sentiment. . Nor can wc believe that the
lion. L. O.'B. Branch, wbo was present and made
a speech on the occasion, as did also the Hon. mj.
V enable, could tacitly endorse such a sentiment,
by passing it over unnoticed and unrebaked.
W e hope the rumor will be authoritatively de
nied" Nat. Democrat. 1
The National Democrat need not have any
doubt about Mr. ; Edwards Baying what we
attributed to him. He did say it. His or-
gan, the arrenton Jvetos, nas not aeniea,
and will not deny that he said it, nor has Mr,
. a m-mv mm 'ft .
E. been rebuked by the Warrenton Jrews.
or any of the Warren Democracy . for, the
outrageous sentiment.

; THENEW.YORK FUSION
A disDatch from Syracuse. N. Y.. say that tbe
chairman of the Breckinridge State Committee
has written a letter accepting the proposition 1 of
the Douglas committee togivejhem ten electors
aad two names on their State ticket, and he an
nounces that he will call the Brockinridge com
mittee together to ratify the proposed fusion.'
Another dispatch, dated Albany, Sept. 11,
says: "It is expected that Mr. Douglas will de
nounce the proposed fusion of his friends with the
Breckinridge party, in his speech at New York
to-morrow, and that the
State
committee will
reject all overtures."
It is also stated that tho Douglfis State commit
tee of New York have, by a large majority, rejeet
ed the proposition of the Breckinridge men for 1
fusion : upon the Presidential electoral ticket.

The- Trans-Atlantic Balloon Voyage of
Prof. Lowe has again proved a grand failure.
All day Friday the Point Breeze Gas works were
thronged with visitors, whose curiosity was exci
te.! to tbe highest pitch by the active preparations

til long after night, in the vain kope of witness-,
ing the great event, 1 even though the delays in
filling the monster balloon were intensely irrita
ting. In tbe afternoon, however, additional stim
ulus was given the people by' the appearance of
Rev. Dr. Newton, who, at the j request of Mr .
Lowe.'offored up a fervent prayer for .the success
of the'expedition." which it wai then expected
would start in a few minutes, however, lengthened
into hours, and the patience of the spectators being
exhausted theynearly allied the grounds. The pro
cess of inflating still continued until one o'clock in
tbe morning, when there was fi sudden puff, and
then a collapse; tho irauaerue force of a squall of
wind, combined with the pressure of gas, had made
a rent down the side of the balloon at least twenty
feet in length. : There is the enji of the experi
ment at last for the present. '

j ' -A SNAKE STORY. .
SA gentleman of this city was telling 'of ' i httle
aa venture oe had ,witb a rattlesnake a few days
since, out on the prairies, - in wbcb he had a
.1 r : . . ii ' i . i 1 y
narrow escape from an usrly customer. It is not
a snake story, but is strictlr true. ,He was . out
bunting, aad beard the rattle of a snake which
he at once knew to be the warning of one of those
most dangerous of all reptiles, when they bite any
one, a rattlesnake. On seeing it all coiled up, ha
brought bis gun to his shoulder ana shot it, send
ing it flying into tbe air. - , ! i, i-
He supposed he had killed it.'and paa red on. , In
a moment or two he felt something strike upon
the heel of his boot as if it bad bitten it. ' Look
ine down he discovered it was the same snake
which he had shot, and which had struck its deadly
fangs into the heel ot his boot. . VYhiu his sensa
tions were not5 particularly pleasant' at being in
such close proximity to one of the larges . rattle
snakes be 1 ad lever seen, particularly as he wss
not entirely confident that he was; not in danger
from the bite into his boot, yet he had got bis
back up by this time, atthe astonishing impudence
of the crawling monster, and determined to finish
him this time, beyond any possibility of a recov
ery. .And he did finish him in as quick a time as
the circumstances would allow, which was pretty
much instantaneously.
It seems that he bad jsbot the snake the first
time on the tail, and had blown his caudal appen
dage, including all bis rattles, entirely into "thin
air." Tins did not kill him, however, and not
having any rattles left, he. bad nothing to give
warningrwith when he made the bite. When be

and Everett. The Dolta. .Courier: and Sentinel

is for Douglas. The Picayuna is, as usual, neu

AN IMPORTANT OPINIONj THE PCST
OFFICE NOT TO BE USED FOR FRAUD.
The United States Attorney General has given
an opinion sustaining the action of the Postmaster
of Bilumore, who refused todehiver letters ad
dressed to fictitious persons or Anns. The Attor
ney. General says the Postmaster has authority
under tbe laws to prevent the service from being
used for fraudulent purposes- It is a very com
mon practice for sbapers to use the postal service
to carry on their operations more widely, and
reach persons otherwise beyond their scope, and
to operate altogether under fictitious names. Ac
cording to the Attorney General's opinion, the
Postmaster would have authority and be justined
n withholding those letters and send them to tbe
Dead LnUej Office, when satisfied that tbe name
has been assumed to cheat and defraud tbe public.
I PoPUXALloir ot St. Louis. St. Louis alone,

boast, and stands forth first of them all in popula

w may, with perfect assurance, set down the
population ot the city at over 160,000. The
official and reported returns make the exact num

about 75,000, showing an increase of 85,000, or j
