She has on board a most valuable cargo of British goods, such as we stand much in need of at tho present juncture, rassengers by the Memphis rciort that the Bri- ". Ush Government has made a peremptory demand upon the Yankee authorities for the surrender of ; the British steamer Bermuda, captured as a prize some time ago. The Charleston Mercury e'ays : v The Memphis had the misfortune, while: corn flog into port on Monday, to get ashore on tbe beach of Sullivan's Island, where she remained several hours, but was finally towed off by the . steamers Marion and Etiwan When she first - got aground she' was approached by one of tbe blockadtrr, which fired a number of shell?, jnoet of which struck an Sallivan's Island, but none '. of them hit the ship. . The Yankee gunboat was finally driven ofT by a rifled gun on Fort Baure gard, which. discharged but one shot at her; when ( , f he retired. - The Memphis is a new iron shin, on her first voyage, and was built at Dumbarton, on the Clyde ; Is most sightly vessel, of good . speed, about 800 tons register, but is capable of " carryinr the cargo ot many a vessel of 1200 tons. .

Tho party opposed to Colonel Job niton elec tion have-made their pltformf and selected vol. Z. B.

A paper, friendly to hl elec tion describes his position thus : Wa nArcflivei with some reeret, thai a fw papers in tho State object to Colonel Vance be cause he was not a before breakfast eeceaeionist. Th. nMATtinn. it seems to us. 13 a very uncharita ble and absurd one, when we remember that Col. .Vance jiot only advocated eternal eparauo& irom the North as sooji a all boD of lfir and hon able compromise failed, but gallantly drew his sword and went forth to meet the enemy." We present below the "platforms" set forth by the friends of the respective gentlemen. Plat forms are generally mere sounding generalities ; bat a pretty fair idea will be obtained of the tpirit of the two narties by these manifestoes ; and the commentaries which we find in out North Caro lina exchanges leave us in no doub;. . So far as this contest, so unhappy at this lime, bears upon the creneral interests of ibe Confeder acy, it js not unbecoming for us tbs refer to it. Our fellow citizens of the respected Jiate of North Carolina will no doubt render wise judgment in the matter: butthev will per aait us tosugecst the interest which we have, as Confederates, in their decision. " ' v ' . ' ' ' Azain exprcssiocr our deep regret that a party contest should be raised; at such a time, we find no consols. ion in tbe motives in which it it origi nates. We have a nigo respect lor vol. ance, for his talents, his patriotism, and bis services. But it does seem tbat it ought not to have been hard to rally on sach a man as' Coli Johnston. We presume there is really no essential difference between tbe two gentlemen. Either would doubtless employ all his talents,- and ealously di-! rect all the resources of the State, to tho mainte nance of her independence.: And there seems to have been a erreat deal of political .magnanimity sbown in the selection ot UoI. Jonnalon. An oi me Whiff, and not an early &ecessonirt, ne was cordially accepted, in the spirit of p.irmony, by Democrats and SecessioniBts! when proposed by former Union men. Some of these last nave now brought out an opposition candidate from the declarations of their platform "and the c-mment Of their presses for no belter reasons that we can discover, than prejudice against the Confederate andStato administrations, and tne desire for office: Some persons have had too large a share end too long a tenure of olBcv we are told. A party organized to strusrsne for office, in such a time as this! Take the folio wins illustration of this spirit from a recent issue of one of tho opposition journals ; tne small caps are ours : Thk Staluidebatk Conclave. On Tups f-aaj Tssi jrrr. -TTiTTmin .rouiirinn, TTrstaem or tiro Charlotte and Columbia (fwfUh Gtrolirut) Bail- roaa, was in una city, cmgngea m a conclave with a number of oflice-holders, in Revising plans to aeioat tne peoples cnoice lor; Uovernor, Colonel; Vanco,. and in making arrangements to CONTINUE THE PRESENT OFFICE HOLDERS in rowjcn. .We saw several ovkice itol- DER3 ourself, and we Joarn that many of them wore in the city taking part in this caucus. The impression rrovailcd that thia! scdrct metinc would withdraw Mr.ohnston and start some one else for Governor; but this movement, if con templated, was no doubt prevented by the person al presence of the President of the Charlotte and Columbia (South Carolina) Railroad. We learn that the President aforesaid was cer tainly in close consultation with one Englishman and a couple of Irishmen all of whom are offtce holders, or deeply interested pecuniarily in .coxtieuino the Stallfederates in power. "Are the rights and liberties of our poople to be entrusted exclusively to such persons ? BQt all this lelflil. plotting j againet Colonel Vance will come to; nought. .
