POLITICAL EQOESTRIANSHIP. . . . It ru no impeachment of Gen. Pierce's con race that hit horse fell with him at Chepulte nee and we do sot allude to i with any each view. We allude to it for the sake of analogy. If the horse he now bestrides dosea't serve him the same trick, set as down hereafter neither as a prophet nor the son of a prophet. If our memory true to as, he got s downfall on that occasion, and could not extricate himself' If the analgy dosen'l prove good in this particular, call ns a ninny and him one of the luckiest of men. Spig. (Mass.) Rtp . - Though analogous, the case ienot exactly as stated by our Massachusetts eotemporary. Gen eral Pieroe rode but horse at Chepultepec, and proved himself unable to manage him. He is now trying the equestrian feat of straddling three or fur. He may manage the Secession eolt by coaxing, but it s manifest from the ex periment already made that the Coalition nag of Massachusetts cannot be lashed into docility, nor the Eatd Shell dray horse of New York be forced into any other road than he chooses to travet The gallant General had better look out or these political hobby horses will prove as dis astrous to his reputation a a Statesman, as the unmanageable charger atJChepolteoec did to his military fame and renown. POL Nerm. THE WASHINGTON SENTINEL AND THE PRESIDENT." . If ary man ever had cause to cry oat from the bottom of a lacerated heart, ssts me from my friends," President Pierce, when he reads the Washington Sentinel, is the man. The most scathing eommeots on his Administration, and the dimi dire predictions as to it fate, if present courses are further persevered in, are invariablv wound op "with a plaster of "soft oap," clapped on the President's individual back, as if it were possible in this Government to separate tb. President from his Administra tion, and condemn the latter while tho former is extolled. Is this "Granite President," as be is called by his pretended admirers, literally nothing but a Woci of granite in the hands of Guthrie k Co. to be cut, dressed and shaped ae cording to their interest or esprioes? It would seem so indeed. lterburg Intelligencer. NO TRUCE NO SILENCE. "A truce has been established, by silent con sent on both sides, between the brgans at Wash ington and New York. The Union of this mor ning does not contain a word on the elections in the Empire State, and ne further denunciations against the hard." Thus writes the Washington' correspondent on Saturday of the Philadelphia Ledger. The writer indulges in a very gross mistake in op posing that "both sides ' have agreed to remain silent. We certainly shall not ; the National Democrats will not; and the insulted people cannot. No, wear just in the trim for contin uing the controversy, so unjustly and unwar rantably commencod against iff this State. We think the National, hive fully performed all they asserted they would do, and that was, to show the UuUn, Secretaries-)! arcy, Guthrie, Davis, and Cuahing. that freesoilism is not a feature in our party, and that the Democracy of the State could never be abolitioniied. We have not consented to any truce. We say further, tLat we shall never tender the white flag to cur freesoil enemies, either in this city, State, or at Washington. And if we are cominkting an act of "'insubordination" in this our determination to keep black blood out of the Democratic party, to preserve its views pure and unadulterated, then we are willing to abide the consequences. When these four Cabinet officers and their arrogant mouth-piece are placed in a position where they can no lon ger injure the Democratic party when we shall hare men in powerful places, at the heads of influential bureaus, who will be content "with their legitimate duties, and 6ufFer local elections to proceed without impudent interference when Democrats shall no longer be removed from office becaune they will not put freesoilers in all the offices when such Democratic times shall arrive, then no one, no press will be found more ready for a "truce than ourselves ; but assuredly not till then. -V. Y. National Dcm. DREADFUL ACCIDENT. On Thursday morning last, while Wilson MizeU, Esq., was examining some part of the machinery, attached to bis Saw Milt, it is sup posed that some part ot his garments got caught in the machinery, and before the Mill could be stopped, be was horribly mangled, breaking his legs, and tearing out his entrails. It took come dozen men about two hours to get him out of the machinery, during which time he expired. Mr. MizeU was a bigb-minded and highly respectable citizen ; and in him, the communi ty m which he lived has sustained a great loss. We understand, that he was to have been mar ried duriog the present week to a highly re spectable young lady of Martin. Plymouth Villager. N. C. RAIL ROAD. For the information of our friend of the Ral eigh Standard, we state that the grading on the N. C. Rail Road has been completed for some time, and that a large quantity of. iron, cross ties, &c is being gathered, for a general move ment on the 1st of January, 1854. We inler that Gov. Morehead intends to press the work. at mat time, ana we snau oe rejoicea to ,see it completed. CW- Whig. Thk U. S. Simatoe nox Maktljkd. Hon.' James Pearce, now put up by hia friends for re-election" is objected to, we see, by an "Eastern chore Whig," on the ground that "he has had the place long enough." Mr. Pearce, now it so happens, is one of that class of men who can never be long enough in puouc me lor tne paDiic good. jnow thorough ly trained in Jbe Senate conversant .with all its rules, orders, and precedents, and well im bued in all the political knowledge of the conn- w-j, it wuuiu oe a calamity to toe wnoie -. coun try to lose him, but more especially a calamity to the Whig party. A knowledge of public affairs comes not by inspiration, no more than any other species of knowledge. The public man has to be educa ted just as any other man, and hence, when it is proposed to roust a Senator only because he ha had the place long enough, the proposition is to ship off experience and education for inex perience and, if not for ignorance, at least for some ode who bas to be trained and educated. A State gains immensely in Washington by keeping there valuable and tried men. N. Y. Express. AxoTHia Succissrot Plank Road. The pub lic have been taken by surprise at the declara tion of a Dividend of 8 percent, by the Fayette rille and Raleigh Plant Road Company. See Advertisement. This road had labored under serious disadvantages, in the want of a charter and of capital sufficient to complete it. It is only finuhed to the distance of 11 miles, and bad no toll keeper nearer than four miles of the viown, so that all the travel short of that distance has been free. Yet with STery disadvantage it has realixed upwards of 10 per cent of profits. We are glad to hear that an effort is to be made to extend it an effort which would certainly be successful if Raleigh would join in it? and may be if she does not. Fay. Obs. We feel proud of the Norfolk AonVnl. tural Fair. Every thing is in better trim than the most sanguine could have expected' for a first demonstration. A great many persons are in the two towns, among thera a fair sprinkliOg of our North Carolina neighbours, who mani fest every disposition to cultivate trading rela tions with us. t The hotels are crowded, Mr. Greshain being so full that he has to sabisdixe all the spare rooms of his friends. In truth, the Fair proceeds well, and must hare a happy effect in quickening agricultural improvement, and in contributing to that mu tual good feeling to happy taexist between town and country.

In a work, Nordischc Bilden, by Edward Osenbruggen, just published in Germany, there . Mi . ? - .i - is n curtou story, uiusirauTe oi me course oi Russian justice, of which the following is a translation : A young man, in the department at Mos cow, became heir to a large manor. A neigh boring proprietor took advantage of the young man's inexperience in business to lay claim to a large tract of forest land adjoining his prop erty. Their applied to his uncle, who was at the head of the judiciary of the department and before whom the matter would necessarily come for trial, and, having laid the case before him, asked his opinion, whether he should com promise the matter or let it come to trial. The uncle replied, "According to your state ment, you must win the case, for your opponent has no sort of title." "I thank you for your o pinion, uncle, and, at the same time, wish you to pay particular attention to the matter, as 1 am obliged to leave immediately for Moscow to arrange my affairs." The unole promised; the nephew went to Moscow. A few months pass ed, and the news came to Moscow that be had lost bis ease. This be considered impossible, lie was assured, however, that such was the fact, and that he had lost it by a bribe of ten thousand roubles, paid to his uncle. He took post-horses and went with all speed to pay the latter a visit The uncle received a storm of abuse and reproach with all calmness, and at length asked : "Nephew, are you nearly through with your expectoration ?" and when he did finally atop, he proceeded : "You have heard that vou have lost your case, lost u true. You have heard, further, that I have allowed myself to be bribed by your opponent, with ten thousand roubles ; that is also true. .Now, se he was determined, at all hazards, to win the ease. 1 learned, authentically, toat tnis was ail the money he had the power to raise, but that this he was willing to spend. Now, if 1 had allowed justice to take its course, and you to gain the cause, he would have taken this money, appealed to the court at St. Petersburg and there have conqured. But now, take the money, yourself, appeal from my decision to the senate, and vou will be the victor." It is needless to describe the gratitude of the nephew to hi shrewd and generous unele.

The Raleigh Standard, after indulging in ful some laudations of its "King," Pierce, and de claring that be has faithfully carried out his pledge " to discountenance Freesoilism and fac tion," winds' up by 'saying that " no Southern Whig who bas due regard for truth in politics win aseert the contrary." Is the Standard ignorant or impudent ? Ths Standard in great glee rolls op its eyes, and exclaims : "Democratic Governors now stand as follows ; 31 States, 31 Governors; Whig Governors, 00. We insist that justice be done, though the Heavens foil. We have one Whig Governor, and we demand credit for him. You ask who it is. "Obi -Clifford, is it too?" It is.- Massachusetts remains firm, if the other States have been led astray "There she is, and there she will stapd forever.

The Washington correspon dent of the Philadelphia Ledger states that John Van Baren told a gentleman there that his only object in going to Washington was to buy a ne gro, to eonrinoe the South ; that bo was sincere in his attaehmeht to its cause..

Previous to . his death, be sent for a gentleman, to whose surprise he bequeath ed various stuns of money, amounting altogether to $3,700, to children and grandchildren, resid ing at Newark andAIbany ; and confidentially informed him where bis property was deposi ted. He also stated that about twenty-five years ago, be was porter to n mercantile house in Hamburg, and baring been long in its employ, was frequently entrusted with considerable some of money on conveyance to other establishments. In an hour of evil influence, he was induced to violate his trust, and absconded to this country with a large sum of money. Having arrived, he invested the greater part of it in the pur chase of two houses, whieb were consumed by fire before they were insured. Considering this a judgment of heaven upon his dishonesty, be J determined to devote the remainder or his ' ufe to a severe course of industry and parsimony; with the single object in view of making full restitution to the persons whom be had injured, or to their descendants. He commenoed a retail tobacco store, and in five years raised sufficient money to aocomplish bis object.- Ascertaining that the bouse in Hamburg bad an agency in Philadelphia, he proceeded thither, and paid the sum of $14,000, being equivalent to the- original sum he had embezzled, -with a certain rate of interest. The latter, however, was generously returned to bim by a son of one of the partners, and this, to gether with some surplus monev, he has be queathed as above stated. The $5,700, princi pally in doubloons, was found concealed in his pantaloons. The remainder was found under the patches of his jacket, with the exoeption of a small sum in shillings and sixpences disco vered in an old snuff jar. Drowned. A man by the name of Corbin Edwards, as it is believed, was drowned at the old Trading Ford, on the Yadkin river, on Thursday last about 3 o'clock in the afternoon. We learn he was a citizen of Wake county, and resided some six or seven miles from Raleigh. He left home on Monday of last week, it is said, on a trip to Tennessee for his son, a small boy, who bas been spending a season with relatives in that State. The river, at the time he arrived at the Ford, . was considerably swollen, and entirely past fording. He either was not aware of the difficulty and danger ol an attempt to cross, or else disregarded them. lie was swept away down stream very shortly after entering the water. The family of Mr. C. L. Torrence, who reside on an eminence on the opposite shore, witnessed the terrible strug gle, from its beginning to its awful close, about being able to aid him, when man, horse and buggy all disappeared beneath the unrelenting waves. The horse and buggy and trunk were found the next day; but the body of the unfortunate man was not recovered until late Saturday evening. It was buried at Jer sey Meeting House, on Sunday last. Ailask, partly filled with brandy, was found in one ot the pocxet ot the uniortunate man ; which, together with other circumstances, leave no room to doubt that intoxication was the cause of his death. Salisbury Watchman. " Scenes" occur in other places besides Congress, as witness the account given by the telegraph reporters of the late meeting of the National Democracy in Washington, in the account given in the Washington Sentinel, there is no notice taken of the reported riotous proceed ings. We are told in the Sentinel that Mr. Wen dell's resolutions were "passed bv an overwhel ming majority." These resolutions are "Hard" all over. We are told that "W. M. Overton, esq., having been loudly called for, briefly ad dressed the meeting, avowing himself a friend of the President, but, at the same time, that he would never consent to make freesoilism an el ement of the democratic party nor could be consent to an infamous and impure alliance with any faction opposed to ths principles of the democratic party." We are further told that "every allusion to Dickinson, Brooson and other national demo crats, met with a hearty response from the as semblage, notwithstanding the efforts of a few persons preeeat, employee f the government, to embarrass the proceedings." Ihe meeting, on their way to Mr. Beverly Tucker's house, serenaded the President. With what patience the President listened to the "dul- celt notes " of his "independent supporters," we imagine. Arrived at Mr. Tucker's bouse, he was called out, and made a speech, in which be said that "party triumph was of no value to me unless it carries with it the ascendancy of the true principles of that party; cheers and when party triumph is only to achieved, by en grafting upon our principles an unwholesome and putrid excrescence, then the body politic becomes corrupted and is far more odious than a thousand defeats. Continued cheering.! Such are my sentiments, and are they not yoursl The expression of them is thought a great sin in us. Be it so. What if we are accounted as sheep for the slaughter? Who shall separate us from our principles or onr party? Shall tribu lation or distress, or persecution, or famine, or peril, or the sword, or principalities, or powers, or things present, or things to come, force us to desert the standard of our faith, and the in tegrity of our creed?" Well donr, friend Tuck er, that's the way to talk ! It is not stated cith er in the telegraphic report of the meeting, or in the Washington Sentinel s account, that Mr. Guthrie was serenaded on this occasion. Pro- pably he was not. Alex. Gaz. "Bitst," the faithful slave of Madame Le Vert, whom Miss Bremer's new book on Amer ica has mads a historical character, jumped from the Wilmington (N.

She was not missed for a moment or two, when the conductor was entreated to reverse the wheels and eo back for her. lie refused, though offered SI 000 to do so. At the next station, a gentleman promptly chartered an engine ttnd returned to the spot where the alarm occurred, and there found the poor woman lying beside the track in a state of insensibility, with her body so bruised and swol len that the physician could not decide whether her bones were broken or dislocated. Her re covery is extremely doubtful. Great blame is Attached to the conductor for his apparent in difference to the life of a poor slave. Betsy rhas been frequently at the North, and in Eng land, trance, Uermany and Italy, with ber mis tress. Many times the abolitionists urged her to escape, bat never with success.

The above has been going the rounds of the press, and, upon inquiry at the offices of the Wilmington A Raleigh and Wilmington A Man chester Railroads, we are informed that the statement is false, no such accident having occurred on either road. We understand that an alarm of fire was created on the South Carolina Railroad, in consequence of the fall of a small metal lamp, which had been placed on a table in the lady's apartment breaking one of the tubes and causing the jCain ihene to ignite. The passengers were much a armcd and a negro woman jumped from the cars ana was seriously injured. . xnis we pre sume ia the aecident alluded to. Wil. Journal.

Mr. Justice Talfourd wrote "Ion," edited the life of witty and pathetio Charles Lamb, and bas done other good things, but hardly can have ever said -truer words than these, with which be summ'd up a "oase:" "Gentleman is a term which does not apply to any station, but to the mind and the feelings in every station. The man of rank who deports himself with dignity and candor, the tradesman who discharges the duties of life with honor and integrity, are alike entitled to it; nay, the hum blest artisan, who fulfils the obligations cast up on him with virtue and with honor is more en titled to the name of a gentleman than the man who can indulge in offensive and ribald remarks, however high his station." A letter from Rome, in the Augsburg Gazette, says : " In the apostolican palace of the Vati can, a number of workmen are at present oc cupied in arranging the floors of the Pontifical apartments, and putting down marble or mosaic in place of the brick, which has in general con stituted, up to the present time, the flooring of these rooms.

Editor Raleioh Register; Dear Sir: It is understood that this Division of Militia is now without a Major or Brigadier General. The imnression seems to be. that the election of others to the vacancies belongs to the rank and file. This is a mistake, which it is the object of this communication to correct. A law was passed at the Session of 1849, I think, giving ths election of "Field officers" to the rank and tile, and this expression, after some dispute, was interpreted to mean all officers above the rank of Captain. At the next Session, 1850-'51, it was rspealed. See Acts 1850-'51. Ch. 89: "An act to establish an additional Division and Bri gade of Militia in North Carolina." Sec. 5, reads, "Be it furtlier enacted. That hereafter all elections of Brigadier and Major uenerals shall be made by the commissioned officers of the same Brigades and Divisions, in tue same manner, and under the fame regulations, as are now provided by law, before the passage of the law giving the 6aid election to the people." My only desire in catling attention to this matter, is to ore vent a ereat aeai oi trouoie ior nouuug. i Yt-. .i .u :.: .kM It is SI ran K. mat tuo yruuer -utuunuo, vuuu so long have overlooked this matter. There have already been several elections for Major and Brigadier Generals held according to the law of 1848-'49, since it was repealed. Of course, they are void ; and unless there is a stop put to it, we shall soon have our Militia nomin ally under the command of men without a shadow of authority in law. Yours very respectfully, S.
