An Klizabcth City corespondent of
the Baltimore Clipper wrote that pa-.
per on 'the 7tli inst. as follows i ,
" This ili-trict has yon: Smith, thfe Aaier
r.in u.iidate, six hundred ittajortty. '
The Ctartotte.Buli'filSp'eords'this
statement Hto its columns, and com
ments non it'vthus :
; -:' Ve publish the above sjniply to afford
ourselves an opportunity to state that we be
lieve the correspondent oftheClipjer has been
misinformed, lor we have reason to believe
that the people of North Carolina have long
since been convinced that the organization
known as the American party is unworthy
the countenance of .Southern rnen. It i.s a
V'ankee invention and designed (o serve as a
trick upon the South'
So, the Bulletin does not believe
there is now any American party in
North Carolina We inclino to the
opinion that the Bulletin is right so
far, at least, as the present existence
of-such an organization is conecrncd,
but do not endorse its impression that
"the American paVty is unworthy the
countenance of Southern men," or that
it wa or uis a Yankee invention and
designed to serve as a trick upon the
South."
.In 'the matter of the present exist
ence of the American party, the Bul
letin and the llaleigh'Standard widely
differ in opinion.- Head what the lat
ter journal says :
" We do not doubt jt-T-axl fh'e fact jir6Vea,
what we freouently intimated to our readers
betbre tlte election, that the Know-Xothing
partV still exists in an organized form in North
Carolina. One of the main object of that
organization is to deceive,', and this object hfis,
in the present instance, been quite shrewdly
carried out The words, the signs, the grij
were no dohbt alliven and received, and ac
hdvpoji in the late contest."
Now7 for tfe sate, ct tu'e arguin'en't
and for that only, we are willing to ad
mit for a moment that the Standard is
correct that the American party is
still a political organization in North
Carolina that, as the Standard has
often substantially declared, it is worse
than the Black Cockade Federalists,'
worse than tlic otd-lin'e Whigs worse
than the Freesoilers that it is com
prised of Abolitionists in disguisein
Short, that it is the. most corrupt par
ty that could well be conceived of
and what then? Why that; wicked
and corrupt a's this nou exist hi g Ame
rican party is, the people of North
Carolina, as far as they had a fair op
portunity of doing so, hafe voted to
commit the legislation of the country
to its hands instead of to those of that
p'ary- the "hat tonal" Democracy
to-which the Standard belongs, and of
which it claims to be the head arid
heart in this State ! . What must be
the character and nature of the policy
of -that pcirty to which the people pre
fer a loathesome alliance with the
"corrupt adherents of Sam" and the
"dark lantern gentry of the culvert ?"
If the Standard's statement is true,
the fact, taken. in Connection Avith the
result of the recent election, furnishes
a humiliating comment upon the pop
ularity and purity of "national " De
mocratic policy generally. But the
Standard very well know s that it is not
true; but that the self-styled Democ
racy, were beaten by an Opposition
composed of patriotic Democrats and
Whigs, who had become heartilv tired
of, and disgusted with, thu abuses of
the present Federal Administration
and the everlasting cant about "Nor
thern Black Republicanism " with its
"Southern tail," which latter they
knew to be sheer clap-trap designed
to operate upon tire popular credulity.
To make the most of it, the Stand
ard's argument is a very uo fortunate
one for the character of the s Stand
ard's principles.

.In the" County Court of AlbemaTle coim'ty,
Va., week before last, a negro girl, aged niiie
years, was sentenced to be hang for attempt
ing, and very nearly succeeding in the. mur
der of her mistress, (whd was confined to her
bed from protracted sickness and was very
feeble, and entirely helplessby choking her,
dragging her out of bed, and brutally beating
her with the tongs, and burning her with
coals of lire and hot embers. The consum
mation of the crime was prevented only by
the opiortuue arrival of the family physician,
who found the poor victim of the young brute
upon the floor in a state of insensibility. In
view, however, of the extreme youth of the
ncgress, the court recommended her to the
clehiency of the executive.
East of El Tmo 280 miles, on the road

as smooth as that of a mountain lake. It
breaks out, running about miles, when it

The election of Gilmer by probablv treble
his former majoritv, remarks the Fayetteville

destroy him have reacted upon his cnhife's.
The sober people of North CnroTin'a ca'nrVo't
be broughi to believe thath'e is ilnfaith'ful to
his Slate'and his section whose every interest
and feeling are identified with their own.
They have rebuked the slander. They have
endorsed 'his "integrity by trebling his majori
ty, in a contest with his Old fippc'nent, and
that opponent aided by One who has been
prominent in the Whig ranks, and who still
claims to belong there; whose every c'te it
was hoped Would 1 a vote abstracted from
the strength of dilnier, and whi3e bitter
charges against Gilmer of a brea'ch 6f faith
were expected to be fatal, to his success. Let
us all rejoice, not only that a good man and
a sound Whig and a distinguished Kcprescn
tative has been re-elected, but that the loul
charge of niiTaithfulness to' the South has been
rebuked. That is the resort of the Democra
tic leaders w henever hard run to put down
better men than themselves. Let them un
derstand that it has been used till it has lost
its potency.

It takes the; ground that he is the only can

which exist irf ilc 1 emoeratio- ranks. The
New York Herald a short tifno since express
ed" the same opinion,
Tb Jnmtisf ration organs are coming out
agalufit both Mr. Douglas and Mr. Wise, and
the "PennsyL anian'' declares that "neither
is entitled to any credit for sincerity in the
ivws he professes with regard to slaverv in
the' territories." It calls them "extremists"
and "agitators." If this is the game, the
Pennsylvania!! will be apt to find that Gov.
Wise can "agitate" ' to some purpose and
there will be a "shakingof dry bones."

A Falsehood Corrected,
That pink of Locofocoi'sm' the' Wilming
ton Journal devotes a half coluni'n in a late
issue, t6 account for the adverse result of the
election in this State. In the jumble of eor.
phistiry is mingled falsctood, one. mite of
Which deserves a passing notice. The Journ
al says :
" In the Sixth district, what .might be cal
led a ' dead-set' was uiade on Mr. Scales bv
the' revival of certain domestic difficulties of
a delicate character, to which no gentleman
of relined feelings could publicly allude, eveu
for thcEpurpose of self-vrntifcatbiV," &c.
Now this statement of the' Journal is false !
and the public well know it. No allusion
whatever was made, in the Opposition prints
or from the stump, to Mr. Scales domestic
relations, in the canvass, and Mr1'. SV nrVseTf
if called upon,' could but verify what we as
sert. Mr, Scales was beaten up6w his party
principles and upon:' io other ground. While
the Imposition sheets spared not (Jen. Leach-,
assailing him with all manner of fa leh cods',
the Opposition studiously refrained from aiay
and all allusion to Mr. Scales' moral charac
ter and domestic affairs. , ,
Visitors to the Virginia Springs, in Rock
bridge, Bath, Green brier, &c, report rthat
there are fewer persons ,afj those watering
pkie6s this season, than usual. .- The tide of
travel seemsto have turnedagain to the North.
Summer Sours.
v ritysiological research has fully es
ta'MLshed the fact that acids promote
th'C separation erf the bile from the
blood, which is then passed from the
system, thus preventing fevers, the pre
vailing diseases of summer. AH fevers
are "bilious;" that is, the bile is in the
bltfod. Whatever is antagonistic to
f6vc'r is "'cooling." It is a common say
ing that fruits are "cooling," and also'
herrics "of every description ; it is be
cause the acidity which they contain
aids in ; separating the &ife' front the
blood; hat is, aids' ill ptirifyihg the
blood. Hence the great yearning for
grecn3 and lettuce, and salads in the
crafty spring, these being eaten with
vinegar; hence also the taste for some
thing sour, for lemonades, on an attack
of fuver. But this being the case, it is
easy to sce that we nullify the good
effects1 of fruits and berries in. propor
tion as we eat them with sugar, or even
sweet milk or cream. If we cat them
in their natural state, fresh, ripe, per
fect, it is almost impossible to eat Wo
many, to eat enough to hurt n's,- espe
cially if we cat them alorie, ritft takiftg
any liquid with themwha'tfc'ver'. Ile.ficc'
also is buttermilk or even comriioff sour
milk promotive of health in summer
time. Sweet milk tends ttj hil?ottsties
in sedentary people'- soltr tiiilk is an
tagonistic. The Greeks afridl'urks arc
passionately fond tff SOur milk. -The
shepherds usp? rennet, and the milk
dealers alum, to make it sour the soon
er. Buttermilk acts like watermelons
on the system. Hall's Journal of

Good Brandy.
For the past four years, a cask has
lain in the Union depot, in Indianap
olis, uncalled for. A few days ago it
was opened, and found to eontain the
bodies f a pair of twin babies put to
gether a la Siamese: But the liquor
(alcohol) which had originally surroun
ded these remains, as a fluid preserv
ative, had all . been drawn offf The
fast young men aWt the depot, had,
from time to time; plied straws rigor
ously in the gimlet-holes in tlie cask
thus procuring an artiele with winch"
they smacked their lips and pronoun
ced "good brandy." The .color of
brandy had been irnparted to the al
cohol by the babies. Several railroad
employees have abstained since the
discovery.
