The fellow Broadway, who received a bribe ot Five Dollars, as stated by Us last week, for a certificate signed by fiiniself and published in the Winston Sentinel, charging Gen. Leach with having offered him a dollar for his Vote, which Gen. Leach pronounces, and every one knows to be a lie ! has endeavored to strength en his slander, by endorsing his infamous character with justorfy one names, no better than Jus own.

The People's Press copies our notice of the Broadway certificate of last week, and adds " Allusion is, no doubt, made to the naked certificate of one Thos. W. Broadway, of Da vidson, which appeared in the Sentinel of last week. This Broadway, we learn, is' a very obscure man. not known beyond his neigh borhood, and yet his certificate is un-accom-panied by the name of any person establish ing his character or giving it weight, which the nature of the ease demands. The Sentinel even appears to have its doubts, for, in com menung on the eertiiicate, it remarks : "If this certificate be true ;" and again, "We have published thesearte as they have been forwarded to us. If they are true," &c. The charge first made, by these political desperadoes, we have been informed, was that Gen. Leach had offered to bribe with a dol lar quite another person. This person was seen about the matter, and he pronounced it a miserable lie. Then the story had to be re vamped, and this man Broadway, single aud alone, unsupported in character, and as we are informed, in the employ of J. TT. Thomp son, an active and mo?t bitter Democratic partizan, certifies.

Scales, through whose aencv the editor of said sheet has received hundreds of dollars from the public crib, and expects more money, if Scales is elected. Such reckless and malignant attempts to defeat the election of Gen. Leach, who is well known to be an honorable and chivalrous gentleman. ho despises the sycopant and the hypocrite w ill but recoil on its authors, and be treated with the contempt and with ering scorn of an indignant people."

But the Sentinel, aa usual, 'has the thing "jvmbtrd vp " amazingly. According to the list of members there were 234 m that Con gress, but the Sentinel has only lol ! But here is the case in a nutshell: The De mocratic Senate agKer a bill to increase the salary of members of Congress, and sent it to the House. Mr. Orr. a leading Democrat from South Carolina, moved to amend the Senate bill, and insert $3,000 a year, in which shape the bill was sent baclt to the Democra tic Senate, was passed by that body, and the salary of members of Congress fixed at 3000 a session. ? At the next election for Speaker Mr. Orr was honored with that office, as a reward we presume lor having been instrumental in rai sing the salary. Conduct of the Austrian Empe ror. A letter from Verona of the 20th June, in the London Globe, says of the late battle of Solferino: " I cannot find words to laUd the bravery of Francis Joseph. He exposed him self so much that he was frequently entreat ed by his officers and men to withdraV him self from ; actual danger. Wrhere thej peril was imminent, where the smoke was thick est, where the heaps of the slaih highest, there his majesty was certain to be found. He several times escaped death in a most mi raculous manner. Many were shot down by his side. His two brothers were with him, and emulated worthily his great valor.,, We find on the other hand says the Char lotte Bulletin, in the Vallegio (July3)cor responentof the Paris Pays, quite a different account of the Austrian Emperor at the bat tle of Solferino. It is the narrative of a Hun garian officer, from which we translate as follows : On the 24th, during a great part of the bat tle, the Emperor Francis Joseph remained on the ruined steeple of Cavriana ; thence he was able to eee-all the line, and give, his or ders. When he saw Solferino in the. power of the French and his soldiers retreating, 'he wefat to Volta.'to stop the first fugitives and order them back against the enemy ; for that purpose he dismounted from his horse, and placed himself in the midst of the road w ith a pistol in hand ; he was incessantly swear ing and exclaiming, " Forwad ! Forward!" The first fugitives stopped a moment and un covered their heads when perceiving their Kmperor; they seemed to hesitate for a mo ment, but the dirtorder became so great and the fugitives so numerous, that the voice of the Emperor produced no more effet on the soldiers, who passed near even without fain ting him. Then F rancis Joseph became furious ; lie threw off his cap,, swearing and sending His soldiers to the devil, but carried bv the tor rent, he wanted, to take his carriage and fly. The road, how ever, was eo encumbered that he could not advance fast enough, and un willing to fall into the hands of the French, he mounted his horde again, pale as a corpse, and his cap over his eyes; he killed with hif pistols two-drivers who were barring the pas sage, and passed Volra at a tremendous -al- lop, with his staff, on his way to recross the Mmeio. Undeniable'Facts. Locofocoism ha3 so long depended exclusively oh the negro question for all its political ammunition, that ma ny ot them who are now its most ac tive advocates, seem to have no idea whatever beyond this immortal negro who sits everlastingly on their wood pile. With them agitation is essenti al to vitality. One single' month's cessation of agitation would assuredly be the death of Democracy. It would die of absolutestarvation." Since the beginning of the opposition movement it has been denounced most vehement ly by the democratic leaders as an ab olition trick This is a stale charge. It is a blunted and harmless weapon. It was used for years against the old Whig party, and now the very men who, as Whigs, were most violently assailed as abolitionists, are oordially taken to the bosom of democracy and made its most trusted leaders. We are told every other day at least, and often every day, by democratic org ans that there are but two parties, one democratic and the other aboliti u. ut xit-puuiii-aii. and ine people ot ; - U,,.,..i i: .l.i , j mc oumti me importuned to give their I i11nrf lariAA ,-v 7 . . a . 1 f . i i iu t.tf,ui-iarj, to ueieai an- "" -urn . tuiiu-H me bouth will find Democracy but a bro-j iron iii-ks-t i. 1 . . .... ujjuu uiuu iu lean ior pro- tccvion aim support. Without its Northern allies Democracy is power less, and experience shows that this Northern democracy is the source of the most flagitious and offensive aboli tionists and abolitionism that have ev er uttered tlieir abominable heresies.

Salem J?ress Death of the King of Sweden. The Afrfca brings the news of the death of Oscar I., King of Sweeden and Norway. This event took place at Stockholm, on the 8th of July, a few days after the King had passed the sixtieth anniversary of his birthday. He was born on the 4th of July, 1799 and was the only issue of the mar riage of Napoleon's Marshal, Berna dotte, with Desiree Clary, daughter of a merchant of Marseilles, whose el dest sister 'married Joseph Bonaparte. When Marshal Bernadotte was elect ed Crown Prince of Sweden, Oscar was taken from the military lyceum in Paris, and removed to Sweden, where he received the title of Duke of Sundermania. Charles III. died in 1818, and Bernadotte ascended the throne. Oscar received a- thorough ! military training during his father's reign. In 1818 he married Josephine, daughter of Eugene Beauharnois, and grand-daughter of the Empress Jose phine. He became King in 1844, on the death of his father. His govern ment has generally been, marked by liberality and justice. He leaves be hind four sons and two daughters.

The Fayetteville Observer, publish ing the Reports of the Preaidonf nr w 4 L the Board of Directors. notices the important fact that the net profits on the road amount to nearly five per cent, on the entire capital stock of 4 millions of dollars. The business of the road, it says, " is increasing, and will increase more rapidly, so that there can scarcely be a doubt that by the time the 300,000 of debt shall have been provided for, the road will yield six percent, at least upon its en tire capital. And this will be the smallest part of the benefit it will have conferred upon the State, in the de velopement and improvement of the section through which it passes." The Observer very pertinently re marks, " that it is fortunate that pol itics and politicians cannot kill the road." ' " Look." it says at the late lection and appointment of Directors.

The Last Grand Battle in Italy. The editor of the New York Times, who Witnessed the battle writes as fol lows : The day after the battle, instead of going forward with the head-quarters ot the army, 1 remained behind to see the wounded and to go over theground where the fight had been most severe. During the whole of Friday night, and all through Saturday and Sunday, the wounded of both armies continued to be brought in. They were removed from the field where they lay as rapid ly as possible, and brought to some point where their wounds could be dressed. All the churches and accessi ble buildings of this town, public and private were occupied the officers being generally taken to private houses so far as practicable. But for thous ands no shelter whatever could be found, and they were from necessity left irr the open air. I never saw so heart-rending a sight as was presented in front of the hospi tal. The army seems not to be provid ed with any means of removing the wounded, but relies entirely upon the conveyances they can procure from the surrounding peasantry. Everything for miles around had been called into requisition. For the most part they consisted of the rude, heavy ox-carts of the farmers, made to carry stone or other ponderous articles over the fields. Each of them had a flat platform six j or eight feet wide and twelve or fifteen long.' bome hay was spread upon this, and upon that the wounded soldiers were placed as thickly as they could bexlaid without shelter of any kind, or pillows for their heads or blankets for their limbsv except such as they might happen to have upon them. The weather has been excessively warm. The roads are perfectly hard acid very dusty : and it was utterly impossible for well persons to travel along them with any comfort without protection of some kind from the heat. You can judge then of the intense suffering which these thousands of maimed and mutilated creatures must have endur ed d uring that fearful journey iof ten or fifteen miles performed at the slowest pace of heavy oxen, and com- pelted constantly to stop by some in- f- StMMw- n 4.1. . W . iciiupuou ui i m procession, it was enough to .melt the most obdurate heart to see' the state in which they ar rived. The peasants who drove them seemed not to have the slightest sense ot tnetr condition or to take the least pains to alleviate their agony. Some of the soldiers themselves whose wounds were least serious and permit ted them to move about, had cut branches from the willows and other trees that border the road, and made of them aslight shade for some of those who could only lie on their backs, their faces turneif to the brazen nl t ho burning sk. As far as the eye could see, a dense cloud of white dust miark edthe approach of the advancing train. As the carts came into the town, many of the poor wretches stretched out their hands, piteously crying forj wa ter, or for wine, as they were perish ing of thirst. The people of the village had prepared, so far as possible for their reception. Committees had been appointed, a ouantitv of SOUT had hn prepared, and the young women jand men of the place went to work to sup ply the most pressing necessities of the poor creatures who were suffering on their behalf. They went about from cart to cart, asking what each needed, and provided for them to the best of thetr ability.

If you can imagine the open area in front of the city k.ill fill ed with carts, upon every oue4ofwrhicb lay from five to ten or twelve fen, in soldiers' uniform, so far as thev-were dressed at all nearly all baref eaded, tneir taces, clothes and handslotted with blood, groaning arid writ(ing in pain and then conceive Brxfidway, as far as the eye can see, to 1$ filled with an unbroken procession -rff just such carts, laden in the same st iestyle tne cattle Deiiowing, the : Invers shouting, and with the .usual I jieeom paniments of a great and half iecrirla- ted crowd, you may form somejjdeaof tne character ana magnitude Hot this dreadful scene. J 5 A North Carolina writer tn the Richmond Whig gives the fo4owin account ot the productiveness i& some ot the counties on the Yakin Rjfer:--- "1 know nothing about thS iron, coal, marble, lime, copper, leaitjf gold, and silver, which your correspondent Roanoke intimates abound ifj that country ; but I do know it is tie very best agricultural region any wli pre on the Atlantic slope of the Uni testates Western North Carolina is an lfifinite- ly. better agricultural region-: than Western New York ; not onlyfbetter for the growth of corn and ? heat, but better also for grass. It & rfiem- mently a fine grass country, fit has also more productive meadow- find. It may . surprise you when I t3I you that Daridson county, in Nortt . Caro lina, has a finer agricultural sa l than Albemarle county, Virginia ; a.' d Da vie county, in the fork of the adkm River, has more rich land ajd less poor land than either Davidsojjr Al bemarle. If Richmond can ecure the trade of this country by aldirect railroad connection, there is o cal culating the amount of benefit B Stim ulate and increase the production of that country as ours has been djne by the Danville .road j and we Should then have as much necessity jfor. a double track along the line ?f the Danville road, as we now hajp for a single track. The amount of tjnnage would in all probability, be quadrup led." ' . - i fk Of course, says the FayettevMc Ob-J server, Richmond feels herself oiUtlpd to " secure the trade of this cots itry. One half of our North Caroling trade is claimed nd enjoyed top bjr Vir ginia, and the other half by mouth Carolina. And every railroa't that has been built by North Carom , ex cept that to Beaufort and ov f own Coalfields road, has had a tende ncy, to perpetuate their, claims to ourtradef If the North Carolina road hai been built from the Cape Fear to thi Yad- km, Richmond would not have t jream ed of that trade. Wilmington would have had it all. Murder at the Warm Sorins We learn says the Griffin Infeend ent &outn, by the oherm ;ot ;pson county, that a difliculty occuild, atj Warm Spring in that county, oisJion day last, between 'a man by thej piame of II. C. Worthy, and another teamed Wells. They came together in alfiglit, and were separated. Worthy , then drew a pistol, and firing tn the t'rowd, shot Dr. W. S. Nelson' in tht-fore head, killing him instantly. Dr Nel son was married in this dity on t4e 17 day of May last, to Miss MaifC'SL Jones, and now after a little otlf "six weeks of wedded life, fills a lloody grave, the innocent jvictim of ffinan acting, we are told under; the inslence of liquor; Worthy has: made ijis esr cape, but is being pursued by the offi cers of the law.
