Advice about Lightning
It is calculated that at least'fifty
persons are killed every year by light
ninrr in this country, and as the sea
son is approaching when casualties of
this kind are imminent, a few words
of advice and caution upon the sub'
ject may servers a safe-guard, ifcare-
tully observea.
During the prevalence of a recent
thunder, storm which visited the town
and vicinity of St. Petersburg, 111.,
two men were suddenly killed by-a
stroke of lightning, which descended
the chimney-of the house in which
they were residing. One of the un
fortunate victims was in the act of
winding a clock that stood on the man
tel piece, and the other was standing
immediately behind him, when both
were struck lifeless. Two women at
the same time- were sitting in the
room and escaped injury, as tuey hap
pened to be seated some distance from
the chimney.
When the lightning's flash and the
thunder's crash are seen arid heard
almost simultaneously, it is a sign that
danger is at hand, and the next bolt
may strike the tenement which affords
us shelter, io know the place ot
greatest safety on such an occasion is
important knowledge. This, science
clearly teaches us, and as a faithful
monitor, its voice should be heard with
attention.
The earth and atmosphere are sat
urated with electricity, which ordina
rily remains in a state of equilibrium.
When this condition is disturbed we
have the phenomena of thunderstorms
which is simply an effort of nature
to- restore the electric equilibrium be
tween the atmosphere and the earth.
The atmosphere in such cases is con
verted into a huge leyden jar ; the
lightning is simply disruptive dischar
ges through the intervening air ; and
thunder is the sound caused by the
violent and sudden compression of the
air-nrodueing waves, hence the long
continued roll like : the discharge of
artillery. Lightning is the most sub
tie and irresistible power of nature.
A single flash can shiver the tall mast
of a war-ship that might bid" defiance
to a cannonade, or rend the lotty oak
of the forest to splinters in an instant ;
and a single bolt has toppled the tall
church spire to the dust in the twink
ling of an eye. What is the puny
power of man before such a mighty
agent! It is physically frail as a
feather or trembling leaf. Armed
in the panoply of science, however,
man, like a weak but skillful general,
can manceuver his forces against this
otherwise destructive power, and con
vert danger into comparative safety.
This discovery was made when Dr.
Fraklin proved the identity of light
ning and electricity with his little kite.
Electricity possesses the peculiar
property of flowing quietly along
through what are called ' conductors,"
such as cold, conner, iron, &c., and
CD ' ' -A A ' ' " .
taking advantage of ibis, the Amen
can philosopher suggested the erection
of tall rods of iron ropper on hous
es and ships, to tap the leyden jars of
the atmosphere, and convey their
charges quietly and safely to the earth
This suggestion .Carried out has saved
thousands of lives and millions worth
of property, hence all houses should
be provided with such conductors, k
as is the case now, perhp tne firea
majority f. wnidlngs will always
applied with such ageneies. In
all such cases, it should never be for
gotten that the lightning always seems
to pass to the earth by the nearest
prominent conductors, hence we.have
an explanation, of the cause why frees,
masts of ships steeples of churches,
towers, and chimnevs are so often
struck, and why the persons referred
to above should not have been stand
ing so near the fire-place on the occa
sion of a thunderstorm which cost them
their lives. In such storms, persons
in houses should sit or lie in some place
as tar as possible irom tho chimney,
and the most exposed parts of the walls
the middle of the room, if it is large,
is the safest, locality. Sailors on the
seas should keep as far from the masts
as possible, and farmers in the fields
should never seek shelter under the
trees. Horizontal strokes of light
ning sometimes take place, and seve
ral persons have been struck while sit
ting at open windows during thunder
storms. Every window of a room in
which persons are sitting, in such cas
es, should be closed; a flash of the
fluid, which could pass through an
open window into an apartment, will
be conducted down through the floor
and wall to the earth if the window is
shut. 1 We have thus given some direc
tions to be followed by all persons,
during the prevalence i.f lightning,
and we have set forth the science of
the question, so that all may not only
see the reasonableness of our remarks,
b'ut their reasonableness1 also. rScien

There was an Act passed at the last
session of the Legislature, authorising
and providing fcr tlio opening, at this
place, of a braiich of the North Caro

i there is a probability that it will bo

Ve have been requested by several
influential gentlemen to give notice of
a public meeting to be held in this place
on Tuesday, of the Sunerior Court, at
which time, all the friends of the cause
are invited to attend, for the purpose

of our citizens on this subject.
" iVjuisTong been evident to those
who attend the State fair .at Ilaleigh,
that the citizens of a isortion $f West

distance, are virtually C-triuded from

and it was mainly to provide for them
that the Act 'referred to was passed.

Hydrophobia in a Stable.
On Thursday night last, a horse
while confined in a stable in N.York,
was suddenly . attacked with hydro
phobia. The Post says
The infuriated animal tore down with
his teeth the manger, and then break
ing loose, dashed out of the stable !
into the yard, where he rushed wildly
about, and then attempted to leap
over a brick! wall. He failed in this,
but continued his attempts, .although
cut severely in the shoulders. A cou
ple of men, pot knowing what was the
matter with the animal, approached
to lead him again to the stable, when
the horse made a fearful attack upon
them, tearing completely out Avith his
teeth the bosom of the shirt of one of
the men, and grasping , hold of the
other. . Fortunately the men were
hardly scratched, the greatest dam
age being done to their clothes. A
wagon was standing in the yard, and
the enraged horse, howling and snort
ing with agony, seized the shaft be
tween his teeth, and shaking the vehi;
cle violently, wrenched the shaft en
tirely off. His dreadful distress ap-
neared to Search in this violent man-
ner for some relief. At various timesj
he emitted i hideous noises painful to
hear. Finally, to put him out of his
misery, he was shot and killed with a
rifle. ! : i
The following is a rough diagram off
the position of, tlie contending armies
in Sardinia as described in the Lon-
don Times, of May 2d :
-
Turin.
Genoa.
Suppose the above to represent Sarj
dinia. The Austrians have entered
and are occupying its north-east por
tion, and so far have encountered no
real opposition. J3ut they approach
the. two lines which the Sardinians
have fortified, the river Dora, running
north and south, sand the river Po,
running east and west. These two
lines, at right angles to' each other may
be supposed to meet at Turin, the
Royal city which the Austrians hope
to capture-
It is evident that the Austrians can
not proceed westward to -break thro'
the line of the river Dora, without
leaving their left flank exposed to at
tack by the line of the river Po. Nor
can they proceed southward to break
through the lino of the river Po, with
out leaving their right flank exposed
to assault by the line of the river Do
ra. , Whichever direction they choose,
they have to guard against an enemy
menacing their flank and rear, besides
the one in front. The only alterna
tive is to divide their force and assail
both- lines simultaneously. But this
involves the necessity of weakening
their strength by dividing it.
The French, meantime, are march
ing into the aid of the Sardinians by
the two dotted lines. Those who have
come by sea are landing at Genoa,
and pushing up to reinforce the line
on the Po. Those who have come o
ver the Alps arepressing forwardfrom
Susa to reinforce the line on the Do
ra. As both points are connected
with Turin by railway, the transit is
easily made,' while the Austrians have
the disadvantage of being in an ene
my's country, where roads will be
blocked, bridges bunted, fields flooded
and everything done to retard them.
It looks somewhat as if the.easy vic
tories which have given the Austrians
control of a quarter of the Kingdom
were only a trap to eaten them be
tween two lines of troops and crush
them. '

Virginia Election.
The full returns from the Virginia election
had not been received to the time of going
to press; but enough is known to render it
certain thatthe Opposition have gained many
thousands upon the vote polled for Wise s.iu
the Democrat is elected only, by what may
be considered a small majority.
This is a triumph however, and is all the
Whigs expected to accomplish in the canvass.
The Democratic corruption fund was plied
liberally to carry the State and the influence
of Government officials was exerted to the
utmost extent to secure th e end, at the navy
yards, and custom-houses, these being sever
al of them in Virginia.
Vote for Frinciples and Men.
The best ev idence in tlie world of the utter
hopelessness of the locofoco .politicians and
presses to carry the next Congressional elec
tion in the Sixth district for Mr. Scales, is
their unscrupulous abuse and slandering and
misrepresenting Gen. Leach, m the canvass,
and the howling kept up over know nothing
ism and abolitionism--matters that have no
relevancy in the canvass. Falsehoods . are
reported, lies are concocted and published,
that for barefacedness, have no parallel, save
in the shameless, brazenfaced and hypocriti
cal cant at times resorted to by desperate
politicians to deceive and impose upon the
people the current coin now in use among
Buchanan-slang-whangers.
We wonder that the tongues, of 'such men
do not blister their hands palsy, when
they speak and, write siuh palpable untruths
in the vain hope of maintaining place and
power longer in the country. Would not an
honorable and uprigiit course in conducting
the canvass oa their part answer quite as
well for a doomed and hopeless cause ? If
Mr. Scales is thought a more reliable man
advocating better measures than Gen. Leach,
and it can be believed that his party would
carry them out in. good faith, why then might
the people vote for Scales ; on t he other hand,
if Gen. Leach is known (and who can doubt
it?) to be a man advocating better princi
ples and sounder measures than his oppo
nent, and possessing within himself talents
of a high order, then should the people sup
port Leach and the Union. And we would
in all candor make the suggestion, with due
deference to the opinions of others vole for
Princ iplcs and Men.
ST Our cotemporary of the Charlotte
Democrat is flattered with the belief that he
has "picked us up" on know nothingism,
and has made a paragraph which appeared
in a late issue of he Express r text for quite
a lengthy article, to prove that "Sam is still
a darling with them," &e,
Our worthy cotemporary was simply mistake
en in his conclusion of our meaning, perhaps,
when he published his interpretation of it.
Sam is an abreviation of Samson, which de
notes strength, Hgurativelv speaking in oth
er words, the Opposition, "a giant in the land"
at this time who. lS'aznson-like. will null
down the pillars that uphold the Democrat
ic edifice, in 1860, and destroy the locofoco
Philistines beneath the fragments of the
shattered ruins, as was done by Samson with
his enemies. We hare no objection to the
name "Sam," but like it rather, inasmuch
as there is a meaning of power and invinci
bility attached to the cogr.omen.
lias our neighbor learned what feats Sum
has performed, recently, in Virginia?
Our neighbor says "the only estate' ever
'squandered' by the Democracy, was the es
tate of know nothingism." We suppose he
alludes to the know nothings, who went over
to the Democracy, and they had precious lit
tle " estate" to 'squander,' perhaps, ihef no
doubt, indulged a hope for receiving a few
crumbs from the table of their well pampered
and sleek friends, the Democrats, their allies.
How does our neighbor like them for confed
erates, with their " horrid oaths," which
he baa been in the habit of charging the sect
with taking, resting npon their forsworn con-

the voice, most charmingly by the young la

have been published, in which is set forth

of the address, which is all we can rind room
for to-day, arid invite the attention of every
candid reader to it :
" This summary of only partof the misrule
shows the necessity of a combined effort of
all opponents of the corrupt Democracy to
rescue the Government frem its evil grasp.

necessity, the indispensibie pre-reoiske to

power can be placed in the hands oi" liohest

tendencies.
2. Give peace to the nation on the slaverv
question.
3. Give an hone?t, economical administra

of the treasury and national domain.
4. Not give injurious eontrol to the Fed

5. Not permit the substitution of direct
taxation, in lieu of dutitson imports, to raise

To the People of Jthe Sixth Congression
al District,
Whigs of the Slkth Congreefional District
and all those whojare opposed to the present
Administration, voti are aware that there arc
two candidates m the field to represent vou
in the next House of Representatives. The

question arises, wukmi one sha

the principles
of the two, and scci which i-s on
t he righ t side
and wiueii on tho wrong. I lie present in
cumbent, the Hon A.M. Scales, was elected
two years ago.T nve no doubt by a few of
you votes. Well let us. look U him in Con
gress, and at bis j principles i ow. He told
you when he was canvassing tlie district two
years ago, that th Democratic party 'was tht;
n!y j)urly to save the U nion, ilnd that if vou
would vote for hiijri he and his party would
nit thcGovcrnmctff'on a firm foundation, and
that the Democratic party wo ild reduce the
'expenses of the Government to a far smaller
sum tnan it was t Miat tiniejj And let nie
ask you here: Wat docs Jarlies Buchanan
HCty ,of the expenditures of thejGo'vernmcnt?
I can tell you in pis own words. In an ex
tract of a letter written by hiinteelf, he begins
by saying: " On what issue, then, can we go
before the countn and confidently calculate
upon the support if the American people at
tlie approaching iTeeidentiaelction ? I an
swer unhesitatingly, that we njiust fall back,
as you suggest, unVui a rigid ckjonomy in the
public expenditure. These exjrlinditaires hav.
now reached the norinous supi of fifty mil'
lions of dollars pel- annum, anil unless arre:
ted by the sfrongjarm of the Domocracy of
the country, may in the coiirsejof ji few years
reach one hundred millions. I' Does" Mr.
Scales have the sitne set of 'principles that
James Buchanan! has? He supported him
in his election andf would support him aain
if he.were nominated. To slicfv more plain
ly his and Mr. Scales' mode otj retrenchment

ditnres, I will append the amqunts spent by

1858 Buchanah, -- - 83,856,727 00
Voters of this Disti ict, look at the figures,
and say whether yjou can support a man who
supports Htich a spendthrift Administration.'
It is kuown that Ihe country did relv upon
tlie strong arm of jpemocracy, and what did
thiU strong arm db for the coiintry? Why,
it was so strong tjiat it was able to wrench
opelr the iron safe of the Government and
take out almost " a! hun tired mil lions," as Mr. '
Buchanan calls ifj. I do have more confi
dence in the good sense of the voters of this
Congressional District than -to think fr a
moment they will vote for a mati who upholds
any such party, ft is not necessary that 1
should give you Whig authority, but I' will
give you. the authority oft he Democratic par
ty. What does liog r A. Prjor, Editor of
the '''Washington jStates,'' a -Bfemocratic pa
per, say ? ; Whyjare the pcqIle so patient ?
Why slumbers thclindignation pf the Democ
racy ?" The Hon M. R. II, qarnet, of Vir
ginia, eays, " Caf any gentleman pretend
that it is fair, thatiit is just, t$at it is legiti
mate, that the .expenditures off this Govern
ment in time of pifofound peace should have
doubled in six yeafs?" So sajs Mr. Garnet
and so saj's every fiir and hOnefet man. I pay
the Democratic. pap-ty, is responsible for this
waste of the people's money.j The whple
country echoes tbejery, " Dowiji with the De
mocratic party 1" I And I am riot certain but
that in August nexf North Carolina will send'
up a voice from thi still watertl of Whiggerv
ithat will make thq monster lifjn of Deirioc-'
racy quail in his dhn.' I r ., .

would rather openB it for fine! glasses, fine
sofas, fine soap an enufT, for the beifefit of
we Congressmen ; and besides, ithat we want
our three thousand a year." And there are.
a great many other items of -expense' unne
cessary, uncalled fqrarid improper, which I
deem it useless to enumerate helre. But Mr.
Scales says he is opposed to the high expen
ses of Government). He was for them in
Washington to be iith the Democratic par
ty, and here beforelthc people fee is oppoeeel
to them for the purpose of getting your votes.'
Mr. Scales says he Is opposed tp the Protec
torate over Mexico, opposed t the Pacific
Eaihroad bill, and ppocd to tie thirty mil
lion Cuba bill. Pr4y tell me hw he can be
opposed to tliem when the Dembcratic party
and James Buchatiin gay hrr'c Democra
tic measures, and Ir. Scales sbpports both
James Buchanan aid the Democratic party.
It is a settled maxin of the Democratic party
that its members ifiust be governed by the
Administration. I iay, frecmep, look well
at, the priuciples of the Democratic candidate
in this District beforjj you votefpr him ; look
well, for if you cast your votes Tor him you
will say 'to him by those same votes, "Go to
Congress, Mr. Scalts, and spend as' much
money as you see proper to spend ; we are

your hand into my fpocket and just take as
