t& The result of the election in Virginia
a the "Philadelphia Sun" very truly observes,
gives to the American party the character of a
National organisation, and shows that its prin
ciple are aa much adapted to the South as
the North. It prove that its enemies could not
infuse into the South the notion that it was de
signed to war with heir peculiar institutions,
and that its tendency was subversive of the Con
stitution. Patriotic Virginians saw in it the
bond which was to grapple the States of the
Confederacy together with, hooks of steel, and
tbey clung to it with a tenacity which showed
how justly they appreciated its value. Though
they were not able to lift the "Old Dominion"
out of the slough of party politics, into which
the Richmond Junto had plnnged it, yet they
came near enough to prove that the period is at
b tnd when it is probable she will be redeemed,
regenerated and disenthralled. The Democra
tic party had the power and the offices in the
State, and the national patronage was dispen
sed on the same side. This was all wielded for
the purpose of arresting the spread of American
principles.aod it is not surprising that it was suf
ficiently strung to prevent their success.
Had there been a secret ballot, no one could
question that the result would have been other
wise ; for then men would have voted according
to their consciences and convictions. The riva
vece vote enabled the political leaders to mark
and punish all who held office and place, and
who did not vote according to the bidding of lo
cofocoism ; for the decree had goneforth that
any watering was to be attended with decapita
tion !
Virginia. Election. Official returns receiv
ed at Richmond from one hundred and ten
counties give Mr. Wise a majority of 10,791.
The thirty-two counties to hear from gave Mr.
Pierce 591 majority. The Congressional dele
gation, it is now probable, will be wholly loco
foco. The dominant party have, as far as beard
from, gained fifteen'and lost thirteen members
of the Legislature. . '
19 There has been one mode of operating
iu the late Virginia election, on the part of the
administration, which is the most mean and
contemptiblewbich we have ever known to be
used in any political, struggle.- The Navy De
partment at Washington ordered the discharge
of workmen at the Oosport Navy Yard for po
litical reasons, and the Washington Union gave
its " cordial approval" of the turning away of
ship-joiners, bolt-drivers and laborers, because
they had joined the opposition lodges. Had
such an event happened under a Whig admin
istration, what a bowl of aaaasement aad rage
would have been beard from the friends of the
dar people 1
Curiosities of the Censcs. The census of
1S0 shows that the oldest person living in the
United States was 140- This person was an
Indian woman, residing in North Carolina. In
the same State was an Indian aged 125, a negro
woman 111, two black females 110 each, one
mulatto male 120, and several white males and
females aged from 106 to 114. In the parish
of Lafayette, Louisiana, was a female black,
aged from 110 to 115. There wire in the Uni
ted States, in 1850, 2,555 persons over 100 years.
This shows that about one person in 9,000 will
be likely to live to that age. There are now
20,000 persons in the United States who were
living when the Declaration of Independence
was signed, in 1776. They must necessarily be
about 80 years old now, in order to have lived
at that time. The French census of 1851 shows
only 102 persons over 100 years old, though
their total population was near 36,000,000. Old
e is, therefore, attained among ns much more
1 requently than in France.
True Philosophy asd trck Spirit. The
"Richmond Whig," commenting upon the re
sult of the Virginia election, remarks :
"We speak from experience when we say,
that there is no more pleasant and delightful
stream in the world than Salt river. We have
lived upon iu banks all our days, and nearly all
ttie beet friends we have in the world live there
with as, and we are utterly astonished at our
selves, that we should ever have felt or expressed
n wish to leave it for le&a inviting regions. To
be sure, there are no "spiles" there to gladden
tl.e heat ts of worldly and selfish natures; but
vre have never been accustomed to the "spiles,"
and indeed we feel entirely too spiritual ever to
eare about things so gross and so far beneath
the aspirations of immortals. We are exceed
ingly gratified that we are thus happily consti
tuted. - '
If this election should result in continuing us
a- sojourners at this attractive retreat, it will do
iiu more than all preceding elections have done,
and we shall bow to the popular will with the
irufouodest reverence, and with the best possi
ble temper.
To each and every Know Nothing in the State,
we tender our sincere condolence and sympa
thy remarking merely, tbat they deserved suc
cess, for they worked like beavers, and did some
immensely tall bragging. We are not advised,
fiat the Whig party was in the contest at all
t-iough we all gave what aid and comfort we
culd to our friends of the American party, and
:liall cheerfully do so again, whenever the con
tl ct recurs between them and our ancient ene
niies. :-
To the world at large and the "rest of man
Vind," we will merely state, that we mean to
Uule against Juntoimr and Iocofocoism, and
the Jurrin power in this country, a long as we
cn v ag a tougn or wield a pen. " Defeat, bath

BiAa has Moept tnl'BfiaTflitlfla UtitTti
Ij the recent Ftanklinton Convention ,
FILLMORE TIIE.s MODEL PRESIDENT.
'..'TheThibodeax (La.) Minerva gives emphatic
utterance to the follow L'ng sentiment : v -, ;
: "No man stands higher in our opinion as a
statesman, or enjoys a greater share of the af
fections of the people of Old Lafourche, than
Millard Fillmore, wh use administration occupies
one of the brightest pages of the history of our
country. We have no hesitation in asserting
that Mr. Fillmore w this day the first choice of
Louisiana for the Presidency ; and bis nomina
tion for that high office would cause to be ral
lied around him some of the most eminent and
wisest of both political parties."
We shall be bIow to commit ourselves to aiy
particular candidate for the next PiesidenrW ;
we have men here in North Caroliua who woqld
worthily fill that high office, and whom we
nhould be pleased to support ; but we do sajy,
with the "Memphis E.le," tbat Millard Fib
more deserves welt of the Repiblic.
For nearly thrive years he performed the
duties of the Chief Magistracy of the country,
and during that period made a name for pru
dence, moderation and administrative skill,
which History has recorded in large and res
plendent characters. Leaving office in 1853,
he carried with bira to retirement as much of
respect, admiration and gratitude as any of bis
predecessors, since the days of Washington.
That feeling has suffered no diminution since.
On the contrary, it has gone on increasing, and
his retirement, instead of lowering, has eleva
ted, him in the hearts of his countrymen. Even
those who had been in the habit of maligning
him while in office have, since he ceased to be
President, reluctantly accorded to him every
quality that adorns a man, or marks a pure,
upright and far sighted statesman. North or
South and especially at the South his name
cannot be mentioned in public assemblies or in
private circles without eliciting expressions of
profound respect and applause. All, without
distinction of party, now freely accord to him
the meed of a sincere heart and an earnest pa
triotism; and all have conceded that if be erred
at all as President, bis motives were ever the
purest and roost ennobling.
Never, perhaps, in the pistory of this coun
try, were tributes of respect, such as these, more
fairly, or honorably, or (all things considered)
more gloriously, earned. Coming, as he did,
from the stronghold of Abolitionism, Western
New York, he, on every occasion, in the exer
cise of his high functions, proved himself the
firm friend of the constitutional rights of the
South, and the unsectional President of the
whole Union.
Undoubtedly Millard Fillmore has richly and
worthily won the right to be called the "Model
President." Long may he wear it ! As un
doubtedly is he now reaping in all parts of an
admiring confederacy of patriots and freemen
the grateful rewards of honorable deeds in office.
Long may he live to enjoy them !
Well disposed or. The "Asheville Specta
tor" disposes ot the contemptible and ridiculous
objection of the "News" to Mr. Carhicuael,
the candidate for Congresn in opposition to
Clincman, tbat he once "voted for ice or the
members of the Legislature," after the following
pungent style. We hope the Dews will take it
coolly.
"The legislature was called together in Octo
ber, 1852, by Gov. Keid. The weather was
still quits warm, and the water of the City very
bad. A proposition was made that the door
keeper should furnish ice for the water used by
the House, for which Mr. Carmichael, and a
large majority of both parties, voted. Now
ice in the City of Raleigh is worth the enor
mous sum of one cent per pound. Supposing
that the boys used fifty pounds a day, (which
is a large calculation tor two large tubs of wa
ter that stand in the Hall of the House,) for
thirty days, by which time the ice would not be
needed, it would amount to 1500 pound equal,
in the language of Kemp Wilhs, Esq., to the
"neat and respectable sum" of fifteen dollars!
We forget the number of polls there are in the
j State, but believe that it is in the neighborhood
j of 150,000. Now we are not good in figuree,
i and if we have figured it out wrung, we would
thank the News to set us right, but we make
this enormous State deht amount to the one hun
I dred and fiftieth part of a cent to the poll. W hcth
er the Xreasurer, Air. courts, isauea coupous
for this sum, payable at the Bank of the Repub
lic, and what premium they were sold for, we
have never been able to learn. It is an impor
tant matter, well worth the consideration of the
editor of the News, and fitted to his capacity.
We hope, therefore, he will see to :t. One thing
is very certain : it would, we imagine, impair
very effectually Mr. Carmicbael's usefulness as
a member of Congress. In the meantime, lest
the burthens of taxation become grievous to our
neighbor's shoulders, if be will call around, we
will pay him the sum total of his proportiona
ble part, if be can make the change, and pre
sent bim besides with a copy of :he old High
land Messenger, in which he will see himself
cheek by jowl with Mr. Carmichael, and, conse
quently, "bel&nging to the etraitest sect of old
lederal Whiggery." Seriously, such an ob
jection as this is in insult to the intelligence
of the people upon whom it is urged, and eould
only have been engendered in the brain of the
editor of the New, and a few other exceeding
small patterns of Clingmanisni, who dwell here
abouts.
Thi Allied Fleet before Sebastopol
maintain a very strict blockade. Even small
boats from the harbor are prevented from com
ing out by numerous launches from the blocka
ding force, which cruise by night close into the
mouth of the port. At night, one or more
steamers advance to within a half a mile of the
marine torts, and, alter nring a Droaasiae oi
shot and shell, many of which fall upon the
city itself, steam off again. The forts at once
reply to the fire, but the darknees prevents the
vessels from being seen, except at the moment of
the opening of the broadside. On the night of
the 24th of April, the French screw liner Mon
tebello, 120, approached within half a mile of
the forts, and, after firing sixty guns, her steam
pipes blew out from the boilers. In this help
less state, the wind being on shore, she drifted
io, aud would have been lost, but for the provi
dential coming up of a steam frigate and gun
boat, which took her in tow, and got her clear
outside. On occasions of these night attacks
from the fleet, the Russians send up shells,
'which, as tbey explode, send forth fire balls to
spread light, and thus to indicate the position
of the attack.

To the Editor of the Republican Banner :
Sir: As several of my acquaintances in va
rious portions of the country have written to
me, expressing a wish to know my views res
pecting the recent nomination of Governor John
son by the new school of Democrats assembled
at Nashville, a few weeks ago, I do not see that
I can answer them more briefly than bv asking
the publication in your columns of the follow
ing note to Mr. Eastman of the Union and A
merican. This gentleman was known as & fire
tater during the discussions on the Compromise
of 1850, and became at once the favorite of the
new school of Democrats, after it was ascertain
ed that he bad been selected by Mr. Cheves, the
famous disunion orator of South Carolina, to
print and circulate copies of his speech in the
Nashville Southern Convention. In that speech
Mr. Cheves boldly advocated the formation of
a Southern Confederacy, and ridiculed the Con
stitution of the United States as a dead carcass.
Mr. Cheves is still a great name in the estima
tion of the fre-eattng or filibustering class of
politicians who are scattered in ambush through
out the country, waiting to see what advantage
can be secured to the project of seizing Cuba
and establishing a Southern Confederacy, from
the treachery and imbecility of Mr. Pierce and
his Cabinet. Yours, respectfully,
A. J. DoNELSOMT.
Nashville, May 22, 1855.
Sir: As I am not a nullifier or abolitionist,
m apologist, in any degree, for President Pierce
and his cabinet, in their attempt to govern the
country by a coalition of the most dangerous
factions in the land, you will oblige ms by era
sing my name from your list of subscribers.
You maintained the opinion during the dis
cussions on the Compromise of 1850, and after
its passage, that that measure was a coward It
surrender of the cause of State Rights, in which
respect you agreed exactly with such harmon
ious statesmen as Messrs. Davis, (the Secretary
of War,) Mr. Soule, (late Minister to Madrid.)
Giddings, of Ohio, Sumner, of Massachusetts,
and Seward, of New Xork. If you have chang
ed that opinion, or if any of those have who co
operated with you in the memorable crusade of
tnat period against the peace of the country, I
have seen no evidence of it in the colttmns of
your paper, but, on the contrary, much that is
calculated to deceive the people, and, under the
guise of the word Democracy, to inaugurate an
other slavery agitation.
in ls3J, lennessec, with but few dissenting
voices, in accord with Air. Madison, the author
of the celebrated Virginia Report, declared her
concurrence with General Jackson, when de
nouncing the attempt of South Carolina to nul
lify the laws of the United States as treason.
And this is now the sentiment of nine-teDths of
the people of this State. Yet it is notorious
that the individuals the most prominent in ad
herence to this treason are those specially sought
for by President Pierce to fill the most elevated
and responsible national trusts, but not a word
is ever to be found in your paper warning the
country against conduct so obviously the result
of the intrigue which has surrendered the pow
er of the Federal Government to the nullity ing
faotions of the day.
We all remember that the most active leader
of the Tennessee division of the new school of
Democrats, after a mysterious flourish of pat
riotism on the top of bis Mount Pisgah. cams
down and informed us that bis heart would
break before be could rejoice at the passage of
the Compromise, and more recently, that the
present nominee to the office of Governor, by the
same school of Democrats, shocked the religious
sense of the age in calling Democracy the Ja
cob's ladder of the sacred scriptures. If the
people of Tennessee are prepared to fill their
chief offices with those who preach this kind of
higher lawism, I do not see how their voice is to
become potential in putting down the fanaticism
of such men as Giddings and Seward. The
people of the North have certainly equal rights
with us of the South, and it may be expected
that they will exercise them with as much free
dom as we do ours. If we are to manage our
political affairs by the aid of visions and dreams
from the tops of a new Mount Pisgah and Ja
cob's ladder, it is but Datural that our brethren
of the North should avail themselves of the
same assistance.
But this trickery and humbuggery beloDg not
to the creed of the old fashioned Tennessee De
mocrat, lie has always been content to follow
in the footsteps of Washington, Jefferson, Mad
ison, and Jackson, who never failed to make
war on nullification, wherever it appeared.
whether preached in New York, South Caro
lina, or Mississippi. Those patriots and states
men taught as to look alone to the Constitution
of the United States for the measure of the
powers ot our Federal and State governments,
and I for one am satisfied to stand by that sa
cred instrument, unchanged by the Jabob Lad
derxsm of Governor Johnson, the higher lawism
of Senator Seward, or the less mysterious doc
trine of nullificaiionism, as interpreted by the
two famous conventions which the country has
witnessed, the one assembled at Hartford, and
the other at Nashville, and both professing to
act in the name of State Rights and a strict
construction of the powers of the Federal Gov
ernment. Yours, Sbc ,
A. J. Donelson.

Spain and Chcrch Property. The value of
the property released from mortmain by the new
law confiscating church property in Spain is
estimated as high as $300,000,000, but no accu
rate statistics are as yet prepared. Probably
the treasury of Spain may not realise an actual
benefit of more thau from $150,000,000 to $200,

westward this season, from the Eastern cities
and States, is said to exceed that of any former

Washington Irving a Millerite. It is not
generally known, says an exchange, tbat the
accomplised author of the Sketch Book is an
adherent of the Millerite sect, and has been so
for an extended period of time. Sir William
Gell states in a letter to Lady Blessington,
which appears in the recently published me
moirs ot that personage, that in 1834 Irving
declared that the world would come to an end
in 1867.

The Dry Weather TiyA Prices, dx. A
friend ot ours received a business letter yester
day from Greensboro Alabama, in which he
gives the following picture ot affairs io tbat
part of the country :
From the long continued dry weather our
river is rendered unoavigable. Even on our lar
gest river (Alabama) only the smallest boats
can run, and they are charging $2,50 per bar
rel freight to Mobile. With us things look a
larming. Our river has been so low during the
winter and spring that planters have been una
ble to ship their cotton. It is still in store on
the banks of our rivers, and the consequenoe
is a gre.nt monetary pressure. But worse than
all this is the great ttoarcity of provisions. Ba
con 15 cents per pound, corn meal $1,50 per
bushel, and flour $-0 per barrel, and it is diffi
cult to get those necessaries at these high prices.
Unless we can get rain in the next ten days
our country will be ruined. Indeed, it looks as
if a famine was upon us. I never saw so gloomy
a time ; but I hope better times are coming.

THE KNOW NOTHINGS OF MAINE.
Bangor, May 28, 1855.
The announcement last week that Samuel C.
Gage had been nominated for Governor by a
Know Nothing State Convention was a hoax.
No State Convention has yet been held.
How they expect to beat in Baltimore
The anti-Americans in this city are quite given
just now to talk about defeating " Sam s
boys' at our next election here, and when
asked to explain why they expect such a result,
tbey say " we have not half the working men
in the city now that we had last year, as the
hard times have forced many of them to go else
where to seek a living." erily this is pretty
talk for a party tbat far years set itself up as
the poor man's party, and claimed to be the es
pecial champion of the working man. Two
years ago the folly of this claim was proven by
attacks upon the working classes which appear
ed in their organ, and in articles in the Sun from
the pens of their high officials, and now we find
them rejoicing over the calamity that deprived
so many working men of employment aud
brought suffering upon their families. What
these professed friends of the poor are rejoicing
over ought to be a source of heartfelt regret
and sorrow to every good citizen, but bigotry
and intolerance have now got so strong a bold
upon the Pierce Democracy, tiat nothing de
lights them more than the distress which fol
lowed in the track of the financial catastrophe.
No doubt they would like to see the whole
American family rooted out of the city by an
army of foreign paupers and convicts; but in
spite of all their intolerance and proscription,
they will find quite enough of the American
spirit left in Baltimore to give them another
overwhelming defeat at the next election. Sam
is not dead yet, but will rise refreshed from tue
accidental defeat, and show himself stronger
than ever. Bait. Clipjter.
B6.The St. Petersburg correspondent of the
Boston Transcript gives the following particu
lars of the burial place of the Czars of Rus
sia :
"The most interesting church in St. Peters-
: -. . j l - i . o - r i
mat ueuicaieu vo oaims reier auu
Paul, otherwise called the "Fortress Church,"
as it stands within the citadel of the city. Its
splendid spire, precisely resembling tbat of the
Admiralty, rises far above all otuers, to the
height of 340 feet, and its gilded surface shines
dazzlingly in the sun. It is said tbat 12,000
ducats have already been expended in the gild
ing of this spire. But within the Fortress
Church rest the remains of all the Czars since
Peter the Great. No European monarchs rest
so unostenta'iously, and no others are buried
within the walls of a fortress. To each Empe
ror, there is erected merely a sarcophagus, with
frequently his initial letters engraved upon
it. Each of these sarcophagi is covered with a
pall of cloth of gold, embroidered with the dou
ble beaded eagle. Upon the Grand Duke Con
stantino's tomb lie the keys oi some Polish
fortretses, while Alexander's bears a small mili
tary medal with his portrait. Each tomb is
surrounded by a neat iron railing, and the part
of the nave devoted to the tombs is again sepa
rated from the body of the church. As I visit
ed the church during Lent, the cloth of gold
was concealed in every case by a faded black
covering. Beginning with Peter the Great, I
Eassed by ail the Czare in chronological order,
ere lsy the great Catharine, and, sleeping
quietly by her side, her husband Peter III., to
whom she in her lifetime refused this place.
"Around one of the scarcophagi I saw a dense
crowd, and, approaching it, found it tbat of
Nicholas. The cloth was new, and no dust bad
settled ou the ermine border. His initial letter
was embroidered in amaryntb, and a candle
burns day and night upon the tomb. The little
relic that was placed upon the breast, while be
lay in state in the Palace, lies upon. the middle
of the sarcophagus. It is surrounded by a
wreath of immortals. Every one whoapproach
ed the spot seemed touched with real sorrow.
and all spoke in whispers around the grave of
the great man. As 1 etood there watching the
crowd, the gates were suddenly thrown open,
and the old General, in full uniform, entered
and approached the tomb. Taking off his hel
met, he held it before his face, and, kneeling,
seemed for a few moments to be engaged in
earnest prayer. The helmet shook in bis hand
as with emotion.
Finally rising, he kissed the relic that had
lain on his mother's breast, and then crossing
the aisle, kissed Alexander's tomb in the same
way. He bad served under both Emperors, and
this, his daily tribute to their memories, was
most touching. He is the commander of the
fortress at St. Petersburg, and one of the
latest acts in the public life of Nicholas was
to thank him for his public services. The Czar
sent bira the imperial portrait enriched with
diamonds.
" Upon the walls and around the pillars of the
Fortress Church hang trophies taken from the
Turks, Persians and French. In this way the
Russians have decorated ail their Churches, and
there is not a nation but is represented in St. Pe
tersburg or Koscum. The English, I believe, are
the only exception, but who caa tell how long
they may continue so? Above three hundred
Persian suns and Turkish crescents here Dow
before the cross of the Christians."
Typographical Errors. A correspondent
of the Columbus Times gives the following
melancholy illustration of the uncertainty of
the types. A young gentleman by the name
of Conkey having been united in the holy bands
of wedlock, sent the marriage notice, with a
verse of bis own composition, to the printer for
publication.
Married At Gosham, February the 23th,
A. Conkey, Esq , Attorney at Law, to Miss
Eupbcmia Wiggins.
Love is the union of two hearts
That beat in the softest melody ;
Time, with its ravage', impart",
No bitter fusion to its ecstaoy.
He looked with much anxiety for the next
issue of the Gosham Sentinel, in order to see
his name in print.
The compositor, into whose charge the notice
was placed, happened to be on a spree at the
time, and made a wonderful blunder in setting
the type. Here is the notice as printed :
Married At Uosham, Feb. ZS, A. Donkey,
Esq., Eternally at law, to Miss Euphemia Pig-
gins.
Jove is an onion of two heads
That beats its softest mellowy ;
Time with its cabbage heads in carts,
No better feeded to an extra day.
, The feelings of the said Alexander Conkey,
on seeing this piece, an better be imagined
than described. - v .

tSrThe proposition for adding another to
our small list of national holidays, to wit : the
anniversary of the adoption of the federal con
stitution appears to meet with general appro
bation. It may have the effect to fix more
deeply in the minds of the present and of suc
cessive generations a regard for the only form
of free government which is consistent with our
peace and safety ; the one which has solved
the problem of order consistent with liberty,
and which, at this moment, begins to be recog
nised by wise men abroad as the wisest of all
forms of government yet attempted.
