JVOKTII CAROLINA ST AU-AVEDXKSDY; MORNING, OCTdflEtt 1853. ... . yAR,'OF THE SHELLS, v Amid the noie and roiifit.iim, the clamor nf crimination ami rrenminvtion attending the struggle between lh llardshelle and Softabella af New York, it extremely difficult to ander eund the real progress of the fray ear to antici pate Hi final remit'.' We think, however, that thus fu the Itombnrnoi-a have the advantage de cide IW. and it wwuld a surprise H they ob tain! an uverwbolming victory, and even anni hilate the, organization of their opponents.-- . The Hunkers have seceded from tlie general oouveniion or ute party, ana oavinr loerenv oe aionstr.nyd that thrv were is a ninoritT, the Barnburners claim with a pent show of reason that Uitir ticket i tlie regular issmoeratic ticket; - aad backed aa they are hy all the power and pat ronage, ha)h of the Federal and State Adminis tration, there i every pnibahilHy that thia daim will be generally recognised by tlie Democratic nasseeiotheKnipirvState. We lor then upon the triumphant accndaney of the Van Buren wing of the Nw York Jteinoeraey as one of the eer ' taintioa of the future. John Van Karen a few yean ago hnamed that ae would one day or otter i make the Issmoeratie party of New York aa ab olition party, nasi kt would teem that he la in a ( very i-wr way w vem j una prancwuii. saw wi etiuwis at tlie head af what avast be regarded at the regular Derooeratieargaiiintioa of that State; J he ia ita ruling spirit, and h he d ea not aMi rtoaue the IVinocracy of New Yolk, it wrll not be fur the waut of the rmrest.oppnrtunlties to do ' en. It seem to ae to be impewibi that tlie ' Hunker ean mack longer maintain their ground agninat tl form ..table odd now arrayed againat them. The have now to etruggle not, only a- ' gainst tli tide -or antt-alarery prejudice, but a gainst the patronage and influence of th Kxecu- 1 tive Government at Washington, all of which will be thrown in the scale of their foee.v More- ror, they are no bmger eupptirled by the eym- faithy and aid of tlie'.r Southern alliea in behalf ' of whose right they hare to long battled, and - who were ever ready in time paat to-cheer them v Mia their noble and patriotie efforts. They ttMt airl anil enmlorl from fills quarter. &uthcrn Democrats now stondbr and i view the fight between llunkera and Barnburn ers with frigid and eilont Indifference, aa though it were a controversy in which they had no earthly e menra. They appear perfoctJy content that trie Van Rureo lteinocmey shall re-establish their ascendency in tha Empire State, if they ean, and thatTthe Hunker nrganiaation aliall lie scat -- tared to tlie wind. Now, it may be aaid that ' there ia no difference between the two faction a, ' and that tlie Banbumcrs have renounced their free-soilisia aa altowa by the reaoiutiona recently adopted by the rMUhell Convention at Syracuse. But thia will afford Southern Demoerate no tort of apology for tha desertion of their, Northern allies. In the lirat place there are tho strongest reason for questioning tho sincerity of Alia de clarations rocentiy put forth by the liarnliuniera. , Th mi tame men adi ipted tlie Baltimore platform, which included a full recognition vf tha Fugitive lave law, and yet they repeatedly refuted when brought to the teat mi. subsequent occasions to endorse that particular nicaiurc. What confi dence oan lie repoeed in the pnifeiwlona of auch politician: If they adopted the Baltimore plat fiina with montal renervationn, what aeauraiiee bare we that they were not guilty of the like du plicity in reaiiect to tlie Syraeiiae reaoliitionaf But admitting thai the flamhnmcm areaincere ia Uteir laat eonfoMion of faith, ttill their eon . eeratoa ia of loo recent a date and was wrought under eireumataneea of too auapiciona a eharae , tor to juatifr aa in the belief that It will be hteting. They are old ainuera, and it ia only within the laat few days that they hare fully renounced their fWIe guda. On the other hand the llunkera hare Leon tried In the fiery furnace and bare been .found anchaogeahly true to the rightful eauae. About their orthodoxy there ean be ae mistake. Cur it ia atteated by tliuir acta from the oanmence-' "west of the tbtverr eontroyeniy down Ut the . TtrrMjnt time.

We have received, through the hands nf Col. A. G. Summer, two samples of beautiful ilkr snow-white Cashmere wool, from Dr. James K. itavis, of Sou tli Carolina. These samples are from the offspring of certain Thibet ana Cash mars goats, brought home from tlie mountninaof I'srsin by Dr. Davis, for the- purpose of trying the experiment uf introducing those animals among the wool growers of the United States, It will be remembered that, tome seven or eight Sear ago. Dr. Davis, at the Invimtion of the ultan, went over to Turkey to try the Introduc tion of the cotton culture into that country upon that auperior system of cultivation which has Slven to our Southern States the monopoly of is raw material in tlie great markets of the world. IN-. Davis, upon his honorable and be nevolent mission, carried with him the seeds of tlit beat varieties of Southern cotton, and the neeeasary agricultural books, implements, 4c, for the enterprise. After hia arrival at Constan tinople he was encouraged hy tlie Sultan to send for bis family. Dr. Davis had found that the Turks, and the tlares of tlie Turks, were wholly incompetent for the cultivation of a cotton field ltjion the American plan, and henca the extraor dinary expedient uf bringing to his aid a detach ment of hia own field hands from South Carolina. The exporiuient finally failed. ' Dr. Davie, however, waa not permitted to re turn home empty handed. Before bis final return westward, under tho special protection of his Oriental Majesty, he made the tour of the Holy Land, and penetrated into Persia. In these travel he picked up his Cashmere and Thilsst goats, and a pahr-of t peculiar breed of Asiatic cattle, called water oxen, froia their amphibious aature.--A'. J lleraid.

It has been so much the habit of a certain class of ilemocratic journals to throw odium on the Administration of President Fillmore for its course in regard to the filiibustering excditions against Cuba, that some of them appear to have brought themselves under a conviction that that pure and patriotic Administra' ion waa re.vlly cul pable in the premises a conclusion utterly tin- . warranted and unjustifiable.

The an nexed item in relation to it ia worth the space it will occupy : The Mammoth Tree. Our readers are aware that this wonderful production pf nature, w hich has drawn so many travellers to witness its di mensions, has lieen felled to the ground, and the liark stripped from itor the length of fifty foot from the base. It is now in Stockton, and will be brought to tliis city, to be exhibited for a short lime prior to being shipped for the Stales. The bark which ia from one to two feet thick, has been taken off in sections, so that it can lie placed, relatively, in ita original position, and thus give the beholder a just idea of the gigantic dimen sions of the tree. So placed it will occupy a space 30 feet in diameter, '.It) feet in circumference and 50 in height. A piece of the wood will lie shown, which has been cot out from the tree across the w hole diam eter. We are told that this piece of wood shows a vestige of bark near the middle, and that this bfWk waa evidently charred many centuries ago, w hen the tree was comparatively a sapling. A curious circumstance is related connected with the falling of this wonderful tree. It was accomplished hy first boring holes through tlie body with long augers, worked by machinery, and afterward sawing from one to the other. Of course, as the sawing drew to a close, tlie work nien were on the alert to notice the first sign of toppling; but none came the tree was so straight anu evenly oaiance.1 on an siucs, mat 11 rcuunen its upright position after it had been sawed through.

The direct effect of thia scheme it is thought would be cmincutly beneficial to the government and the public by obviating the necessity for tlie enormous sacrifice uf money iu tlie purchase of l". 8. stocks at a premium of twenty-one per cent.; by reducing the interest on the stock taken in pledge for the loans just one-half ; and finally iiw providing t safe meant of -relief to tho commercial commu nity in those pcriodsof panic and pressure, which are traceable to tlie operation of the Sub-Treasury Act, in withdrawing coin from the ordinary avenues of tnule and lucking it up beyond the reach of business men.

The above we take from tlie Goldsboro' Xew Era, and we are certain Mr. Robinson will con fess he has dono us an injustice when he learnt the facta. We had not intended to say anything more on this subject for the present, at wa con ceived that we had pursued just such a course at any other Editor would have done under the tame circumstances, but a sense of duty to ourselves constrains us to give a statement of facts which, to far at we are concerned, will set the matter in its proper light.

In the next place, we have not refuted to give up the rial name of the author of that article.
