V Wa learn that Edwin O. Reads, Eq., of Parson County, is the American candidate for Congress in the Fifth District, in opposition to the Hon. Joh.v Kilt. A public discussion took place between the two gentlemen at Rox boro' on Tuesday last, we are informed. RALEIGH AND FAYETTEVILLE. We are gratified to learn that exertions are being made ta induce' the Post Office Depart ment at Washington to authorise the new and enterprising ; contractor (D. O. McRae, Esq.,) to put jour Aorse coocJUson the route between this place and Fayetteville. Suoh an improved mode of communication is every way demanded by the closely allied interest of the two towns. It will certainly contribute greatly to the tra velling patronage of the Raleigh and Gaston Railroad. We commend the matter most earn estly to the prompt' and favorable notice of our citizens. . i.V-"".- ' The Next Eceopeah News. Much anxiety is evinced for the arrival of the next Steamer, as the result of the . bombardment of Sevasto pol will probably decide the aeige. It was ex pected that the assault would be made after tire days firing, but ten days have not render cd it practicable The. best' report from the Allies is that their fire ia superior to that of the Russians, and that some advantages bare been gaioed over the exterior defences. Meantime, the guns of the beseigers are getting strained, and there are rumors that their ammunition is falling low. . It is said that the government has received intelligence which it withholds fiom the public, and naturally the worst construction is put upon the news that is suppressed. Thus. The Norfolk Beacon," alluding to Mr. Ransom's resignation of the office of Attor ney General, remarks:, "To our knowledge. three Attornies General in succession have re signed before the expiration of their term, viz Messrs Smanlt, Mooee and Ransom. They were all whigs, though ; we have not heard of a locofnco's resigning, bat, when we do, our readers shall know it." ItS Ws are requested to state that Gen. Samuel F.

It puts a final quietus upon the calumny of our adversaries, that the American party is Aboli tion. This is its third degree, and it proves, what we have always asserted, that AN ABO LITIONIST CANNOT BE A MEMBER OF OUR ORDER. A gentleman who participated in the formation of this degree and the obliga tion is now in the city, and tells us it was for med for the express purpose of keeping out the abolitionists. We publish it with great pleas ore, and the only regret we have in the matter is, that the scoundrel was not smart enough to expose it long ago. Read it, ail of you, and say can an abolitionist be a member of the Ameri can party ! No! no! no! will be the unani mous response. We also publish, in connexion with the de gree, the comments o'the Abolition Leader; of Cleveland, Ohio. We invoke the slave-holders of Virginia to pause before they join the mad crusade of the Abolitionists against the Ameri can Party : Penny Post. From the Cleveland (Ohio) Leader, May 9. Know Nothing Third Deckle. It is known to all Know Nothings, and many outsiders be : : i . i r n- sides, that a new Know Nothing ritual has been I allow the thief to make an entrance without bo adopted, in which there is a change of signs, ! 'n heard. Being in, he applied cloths wet signals, grips and pass-words, and that a new i with chloroform to the faces of the sleeping degree has been added. For one or two months ' husband and wife, and then found the munry past the county deputies have been busy intro- J L id between the straw and feather beds. aucing it into me various Councils, ine "new work costs cacn suborainate lodge 1 his . sum is charged to meet the heavy expenses of the "big bugs" and to defray other demands. The obligations of the first and lat-t degrees do not differ materially from those in the old work; but the new Third stands out unique and pecu liar. The Pittsburg Gazette, of Thur sday, pub lished the whole genuine ritual the pass woids and signs excepted from which we copy. We have often alluded to the pro-slavery character of the new degree, and now have I the confirmation of it in black a:. d white before 1 us. The great mass of the Know Nothings of . this city have not yet taken it, and that thev ; may not be entrapped in the dark to take an ! obligation stultifying their political sentiments, j we place before them the oath they will be re- 1 quired to take. And here let us ask them, and all honest man, what question has ever distur bed the peace, or endangered the perpetuity of the Union, save the Slavery question? Under the pretext of "preserving the Union," the members are really sworn to "put down Ami Slavery agitation." And as to the description of adjustment or all "political discontents of dif ferences," which they are sworn to procure, what is it but more compromises of the Fill more and Fugitive Slave Law ? Every rational man understands what the originators of this degree were after when they invented it. We all know the grand object was to ignore and crush out .Northern opposition to slavery ag gression, under the old pretext of saving the Union. 1 he slaveholders who cooked up the degree, with the aid of New York Silver Greys, have but one interpretation for it, and that is, a dagger with which Anti-Slavery men are ei pected to commit political suicide, under the delusion that they are saving the Union ! We should also call tbe special attention of those who have seen "Sam," but have not bad a sight at this last wrinkle on bis brow, to that part of the oath which binds them to support only Third degree members of the Order none but orthodox Union savers for office, and aek all honest men, in or out of the Order, wherein this degree is less pro slavery than the locofoco Baltimore Patform of '55, upon which General Pierce was nominated, or the Whig platform, which killed General Scott and his party.

The clock will go eight and a half .lays, and strike only for seven and a half, so as to indi cate by its silence any neglect in winding it up. The mere winding up of each of the striking parts will probably take two hours. The pen dulum is fifteen feet long. The wheels are of cast iron ; the hour bell is eight feet high and above nine feet in diameter, weighing from fourteen to fifteen tons. The weight of the ham mer is fur hundred pounds.

The hot weBther begins to be oppressive at New Orleans, and many of the inhabitants are pre paring to leave their business and the city for the summer. The Picayune urges the necessity of i mined lately adopting quarantine regulations. At present the city appears to enjoy good health. What 13 Baggage? In a recent suit in New Y'ork, the question came up, whether a gold watch is an aitirle of wearing apparel to be deemed baggage. The Superior Court decided it is an article of wearing apparel, and when not carried about the person, but in a trunk, while travelling, is to be deemed baggage. Facetious. The editor of the Grenada Repub lican having been peremptorily called upon by a neighboring editor to say whether he belong ed to the "Know Nothings," or not, replies ac follows : "We belong to no Know Nothing So ciety, nor evr did. We have taken no oath stronger than this: that we never will eat corn bread when there is wheat bread on the table, unless we lik) the corn bread best. 2nd, that we never will drink whiskey when there is brandy on the table, unless we like the whiskey best." Masonic. A grand Congress of the Masonic Fraternity of the world is to take place in Paris on the first of Jiuie, to take into consideration the condition of Masonry over the Globe, and to adopt, for the benefit of the order, whatever may be appropriate and lawful. Lodges of the Order are expected to be present. It will un doubtedly be a notable occasion. Dodging. There are divers and sundry devi ces concocted to evade the provisions of law the prohibitory liquor .laws which have been enacted from time to time furnishing their full quota. In New York State, according to the recent law, the ardent may only be sold in the 'oriqina! packages." In view of this fact, it is proposed to make those original packages con tain but one "horn." If this suggestion is car ried out, the "rignal" will be as anxiously de manded as it was by Mr. Weller, of Pickwick ian notoriety, when the attempt was made to arrest him for debt. Crops and Politics in ircinia. A very Virginia. A intelligent and observant gentleman, just retur ned from a tour through several portions of Virginia, informs the Baltimore Patriot that the growing crop, generally speaking, presents a highly promising appearance. Rain is con siderably wanted in some places, but thus far the Wheat does not appear to be injured, except slightly by the fly. If the usual quantitv of rain should fall, the indications are that Virginia will yield an abundant harvest. 1 he same gentleman states that political mat ters are runing to a very high pitch. The peo pie are everywhere excited, and seem totally absorbed in tbe canvass. The American party, as it is termed, seems sanguine of triumphant success, whilst the friends of Mr. Wise are wholly unable to calculate results. Even in the strongest democratic regions, there is uncertain ty and doubt upon their side. Compulsory Vaccination. A bill is before the Massachusetts Legislature, which makes it compulsory on parents, guardians, overseers of charitable institutions, prisons, the selectmen of towns, and mayors and aldermen of cities, &c, to see that all persons who may come under their charge are duly vaccinated ; and any neg lect of this duty shall be punished by a fine of five dollars lor each aud every year of such neglect. Paris, we Icarn, is about to be favored by the presence of L )la Montex, who, it is said, is mar ried for the ? time.

Tiif. Value or Freedom. John Adams con cludes a letter of April 26, 1777, thus: " Pos terity ! you will never know how much it has cost the present generation to preserve your freedom ! I hope you will make good use of it. If you do not, I shall repent in Heaven that I have ever taken half the pains to procure it." Like Master, Like Man. The Richmond Enquirer has caught Mr. Wise's trick of impre cation, and swears like a parrot in a forecastle. " So help us G ," roars the Enquirer, "we will triumph 1" Well, let's see you triumph ! Boston Atlas. Reduction Extraordinary. A merchant in Wilmington, Vermont, having sunk his shop floor a couple of feet, announces in the Sentinel that, "in consequence of recent improvements, goods will be sold considerably loicer than for merly." A Sound Objection. The Concord States man objects to a candidate for the Presidency, because, in the event of his election, hismessage would probably make from fifty to seventy-fire columns ofsolid brevier. Anti Know Nothing Movement. The "Sag Nichts" secret convention, which assembled at Columbus, Ohio, on Thursday last, adopted the Democratic State tickot, with the exception of the candidates for Oovernor, Attorney General and Auditor. How Fortunes are Made. A gentleman has lately purchased three lots of ground at Keo kuk, Ivwa, lrom ex Governor Seymour, of New York, for the sum of ten thousand dollars. This property, it is said, could have been bought in the year 1850 tor 300. A German, who had left his wife and child at South Natick, about three years ago, recently re turmd to find her married to another German. The poor woman had supposed the first husband to be dead. She loved them both, especially the latter, who is quite young, but was finally persuaded to return with the first to St. Louis. The parting was an Effecting scene. The great est sufferer was the young man "left behind in tears. ne begged his predecessor and success or, for God's sake.no "treat her welL" '. .Peodccs is high enough every where,;,but in ' - - ; 1 !

Bachelors are not entirely lost to the refine ments of sentiment, as will be seen by the fol lowing toast, offered by one of the much abused fraternity at a celebration : Ladies : Sweet briars in the garden of life. THE BIGGEST SORT OF A RASCAL. Of all the grand rascals we have recently heard or read, G. Hubert Sanders, Esq., the great California swindler, is about the greatest. A correspondent of one of our New York ex changes touches him up in the following style : "G. Hubert Sanders was one of our wealthiest citizens certainly the most extravagant. He drove a span of sorrels before a light buggy in the morning, a span of blacks to a handsome rockaway in the afternoon, and in the evening be sported a carriage and spanking pair of bays. His office hours were shortened "from 8 to 5" down to "from 10 to 2," but between those hours he was always in his office, save at lunch hour?, when if any of his distinguished family were "down shopping," he wouldNsscort them to tbe ice cream saloon, and the skill of tbe ca tering artistes was often taxed to their utmost in providing dainties for them. On one occasion, last year, when strawberries first appeared in the market, it is said that him self and Mrs. Wheeler ate the moderate allow ance of $100 worth each, at one sitting. The stories now told of his lavish expenditures wonld fill an octavo. About two weeks ago tbe eldest daughter was married to a gentleman of Sacra mento. Another magnificent and costly enter tainment was given On the occasion. Young wife hunters mourned that there were no more daughters in the family,; so that they too might form a matrimonial alliance with so distinguish ed a set. Their soirees outshone those of all others. To be invited to Sanders' was the xe nith of bliss to all cod jfistidom. But time works wonders. The mutations of human life are be yond the power or the 'predictions of man. Last week G. Hubert Sanders was arrested on a charge of forgery, and was released npon giving bonds in the sum of $10,000 for bis appearance at court to answer the charge. His son-in-law and his partners were his sureties. That even ing he fled and has not been found nor heard of. The following day forged mortgages and deeds were discovered in his office, upon which he raised over $300,000. In one instance he actually mortgaged a man's own property to him for $4,000, and, strange to tell, the poor fellow never discovered it till the news of the forgeries were two days old. To some he gave mortgages upon the highway, the boundaries and descriptions being given in the usual style. He also drew mortgages upon property of Bolton P. Baoon, John Parrott, Sam Brannan, and other of our wealthy men, who never had adollar upon their estates. All those he conveyed to his victims, who paid him their money, gave him his commission, and went away confident in the security that held their funds. One great cause why he was enabled to continue his frauds so long undiscovered, is the fact that nearly all of his sufferers are French, who do hot understand our language, and who were igno rant of the legal procedure in such cases. Every day, so far, has brought to light some new act of his viiliany. Of all our splendid rascals, Sanders has pro ved himself the chief. His new system of rob bery is entitled to the first rank in the Parent Office of rascality and old style forgers, such as Monroe Edwards was, mutt not hope for the distinguished reputation that is so richly merit ed by Sanders, Meiggs and Schuyler." Stirring News. The contents of the Euro pean mail, which reached this city, last evening, are of a much more important character than the foreshadowing by telegraph, from Halifax, led us to believe. The breaking up of the Peace Conferences at Vienna, coupled with the vacillat ing and now very suspicious attitude of Austria, and the barren results, so far, of the bombard ment of Sebactopcl, had produced a feeling of marked depression both in London and Paris. The puplic mind is preparing now for war on the most extended scale, war that will at once bring into play all the resources of the bel ligerents. As a great Btep to that end, we have the positive assurance that the Emperor of the French will set out for the Crimea at an early day. Another is, to compel Austria to draw the sword, either for or against the" Czar. Al ready a courier was on hie way from Paris for Vienna, with despatches from the Emperor for M. Drouyn de l'lluys. These despatches are described as decided in their tone, and the French Plenipotentiary is instructed to call upon the Cabinet of Vienna to declare categorically whether it means to ful fil its pledges, and " to take the part that be comes it as a grat power against the common enemy, now that Russia has rejected the pro positions of the powers." The demand is said to be made in terms which admit neither of eva sion nor Qlay. The Austrian Government, meanwhile, is manifestly not blind to the crisis. To use a Yankee phrase, she is getting ready to face the muic, in issuing a decree for a new levy of eighty thousand men. In view of these events present and prospec tive, the war, bloody as it has been already, is nothing to what is coming. The drama is just beginning. N. T. Express.

The publishers take pleasure in announcing the completion of this, the most elaborate, comprehen give, and perfect Gazetteer of the United States, that has ever issued from the press. In its pre paration, no considerations of expense or labor have been allowed to interfere with a work desijrn ed to be as perfect as possible in every department, and in all of its details. Nor have the successive issues of other Gasetteers, hurried through the press to claim the market, tempted the publishers to offer their book before all the ample Census (of isouj anaouer mawnumuie nanasoi tne tout ore were fully digested and accurately arranged When this Gazetteer was first announced, 800 pages, or, at the most, 600, were designed as the limit of the book, But so vast was the amount I of matter accumulated by the personal labors of the Editors and their assistants, as weU as th ough the active efforts of several thousand Cor- respondents in all parts of the United States, the work has swelled to near 1 300 pages. The amount of nev matter which it contains, all of a recent character, is very large, and in many instances em- braciug Sutistics and PopuUtions to 1854.
