A grand amalgamation ball came off on lhutsday evening at the Assembly Rooms, Pince street, composed entire ly of black men and white women,' no white man or black woman being ad mitted.

V Now what would be the inevitable effect of this ? Supposing all the Dem ocrats and all the Americans were to unite, they could not elect Speaker. To enable them to do so, they , must have the aid of some of the Republi cans. But the Democrats would aban don even their own candidate if Re publicans should vote for him. Of course they cannot elect a Speaker at all. And there is no remedy for the existing state of disorganization ex cept by the election of a Republican which would be Worse in its effect up on the peace of the country than dis organization, . j i Is it the determination of the Dem ocrats to prevent an organization? One of them, Mr. i'ugh ot Alabama, openly avowed on the same day that "If he had it in his power he was free to say he ivould perpetuate discord here.' These are significant signs. We leave our readers to draw the plain inferences Fay. Observer. If Mr. Gilmer is, in fact and in truth, a friend to the South, may God save her hereafter from any more of such friends in the National Councils. Wash. States Union. Mr. Gilmer, of whom the above re mark is made, represents a large slave- holding constituency is one of the largest, if not the largest slave-holder in Congress, and every interest and the most sacred ties bind him to the South, her rights, interests, welfare and destiny. His character for clival ric feeling is above suspicion his in tegrity and probity irreproachable ; the capacity ot his mind and fetates manlike qualities and superior intelli gence acknowledged by all. His pn vate circumstances and public position place his devotion to his section and all that concerns her welfare and pros perity high above suspicion, and his reputation above the reach of; such flings as the above. We opine he is as much southern m sentiment, and, should occasion offer, would prove him self sO in action, " as any Southern member of the House, we care not howintense that, may be, or even as the superlatively intense Southern Rights Editor of the "States and Un- ion. "0 says, yn Mr. vjiimeris, in fact and in truth, a friend to the South, may God save her hereafter from any more of such friends m the National Councils." We will 'say, if all the Representatives frdm the South were as loyal and firm, and governed by as high and honorable, and national im pulses and principles as Mr. Gilmer, she would be much better off, and what she says and docs be more respected. Ihe trouble is, the Democracy is powerless, and in the blindness of its impotent rage,1 strikes at random. Mr. Gilmer, and the Americans, are not in tie way, and could not secure the success of their candidate. They hate Americans with a cordial and in tense hatred, and are giving vent to it by trying to crush Mr. Gilmer, and through him, his friends and support ers. They are writhing under the awful exposure of corruption they know awaits them, should the House be organized by any other than them selves. We do not blame them for their rage ; it is natural. What men or party could contemplate the cer tainty of disgrace with composure ? Poor Democracy ! how art thou fallen ! Atlanta Ga.) American. A Movement Against Negroes in Canada.' At the Court of Assizes of Essex county, Upper Canada, the grand ju ry have made a presentment to the court, based upon a representation emanating from the authorities of the township of Anderdon, in regard to the negro population of the county. The grand jury submit the document that was presented to them to the court, and urge that some action be taken in the matter. The Anderdon author ities sa'y : "We are aware that ninc tenthslof the crimes committed in the county of. Essex, according to the population, are so committed bv the colored people." And they further urge "that some measures may be ta ken by tho Government to protect ua and our property, or persons of capi tal will be driven from tho country." The court to this presentment, remark ed that "he was not surprised at find ing a prejudice existing against them (taetiegroes,) among the respectable portion of the people, for they - were indolent, shiftless, and dishonest, and unworthy of the sympathy that some mistaken parties extended to them; they would not work-when opportuni ty was presented, but preferred sub sisting by thieving from respectable farmers and begging from those be nevolently inclined. 7 What V com mentary on British sympathy with A merican abolitionists !

At a proper time, 've will resume the subjects :. s&r We have a charming poem from " Linnette otja " Linnette" which we will publish, next week. She is a true child of Song and we hope to hear trom her often in breathings of sweet melody from her Mountain-home. . We would say to our Friends, Who send us occasionally encouraging letters, that, we thank them for their good-wishes and other favors. Wo are proud to learn that our patrons, so.f'ar as we are informed, are pleased with the Express, and that the views which have been advanced by us recently, in le gard to several questions of State-policy, and interests that pertain to the South, should find approval in the pub lie mind, is encouraging to us. It will ever afford us great delight, to see our State, and the South, nay our whole country prosper, and if at any time we Should suggest or render any serv- ico tending to that end, our gratifica tion will ho much exalted. So far as the prospects of our Enter prize are concerned, we can say, that they are favorable altogether, and we fear not the fate that often enough o vertakes newspaper enterprizes for we have the courage of a Lion and the spunk of a grizzly-Bear. If we have not enough subscribers and patronage now, and it is very true we have not judging by what some concerns in the State require to keep them afloat we intend to hang on till we obtain, both, provided the time is not too long: two years of it have already passed. The Express was started iu States vil'e in Iredell county, a little more than two years ago, at a time when, no one else would hazzard an cnter prizc of the 'sort and has been regu larly published, without the less of a single week, excepting Christmas holi- daj-s, and has been devoted to advo cating the interests of this portion of North Carolina, but not to the ex el us ion of the State at large . Is the " Iredell Express" fulfilling its mission ? if not, wherein has it shown itself to be derelict ? What o ther journal is doing more, if so much, for Iredell ? What other journal ex pends three times as much as it derives from the County in the County ? And this we do. What other paper or tho proprietors expends ten dol lars in the com sea year in the County? It is hardly done." Since the beginning of our enterprize, many have most no blj' sustained it done more than their share more than We could have desir ed in reason they would have done j but the larger number, have extended no encouragement But the Express-will -continue to be published for the benefit of those who subscribe, and forthoso who borrow the latter a numerous class and what is more, they always feel interested in reading the earliest news and wby may they not be the first who ought to be gratified? We recollect once to have heard Gospel minister remark as his opinion, thit no local papers should bo publish ed in North Carolina, outside of the city of Raleigh! where his son at that time was conducting a journal, which, no doubt, the Rev. Peter Db.consid ered was tiix paper .that everybody ought to subscribe for. We think, and believe that all sensible men will coin cide in the opinion that, local newspa pers are quite as necessary to be dis tributed over tho State, for the public benefit as local schools, and that the more each multiply, the better will be the result for the general information of the masses. The multiplicity of rsnruaua, peaces it, wiium ine power 01 pnonsaera generally to give the latest; intelligence,, whether journals are loca ted in cities, towns or villages. And the telegraph, annihilates distance.' iews published in New York, in a dai ly, and sent by mail to New Orleans, wjould be stale when it arrived in the Crescent hf. The inhabitants would have read, digested; and forgotten the details of one of Napoleon's brilliant victories oVer the Aust'rians. We dissent from, the views that have been advanced by some, that the; South should withdraw from .tho Un ion if a black republican shall fee elect ed President jn 1861, If tbeSouth go into an election with the "North for President and the latter wins, it shuts the game against the South to with draw for that success merely, Without some flagrant outrage that;may be per; petrated afterward. If the Constitu tional guarantees are observed,' no better even than hitherto they have been, the conservative men, of both sections very properly would oppose a disturbance of the Federal compact. Manufactories in IredelL '- There are two manufactories in Iro- dell county at which yarns and cotton osnaburgs are made in lai ge quantities, qua'ity inferior to none. One is loca ted at Turncrsburg, and owned by Mr. Wm. Turner, the other at Eagle Mills, and owned by Messrs. Colvcrt $ Co There are likewise Cotton Factories in i'adkin, Surry, Catawba, and per haps other counties. The water-pow er in all the above named Counties is valuable for mills and factories, and never-failing. The Trunpls Branch Iron and Brass Foundry, is located near Olin, and own ed by N. D.

We learn that Judge Caldwell, who for many years had ably discharged with usefulness and dignity the ardu ous duties of Judge npou the Superior Court Bench of North Carolina, bav in cr been appointed Pi esidont of the Branch of the Bank of North Carolina at Salisbury, has resigned hip Judicial office into the hands of Gov Ellis. Who will be' Judge Caldwell's succes- cov, we nave not ine means oi Know . . 1 n ig; but tne puonc interest requires, that he should be well-grounded in tlie Law, mature in years and judgment and altogether qualified to discharge the judicial duties upon the Bench that has been vacated by the distinguished predecessor, and this, we dare say. Gov Ellis will properly consider, when he makes his appointment. And if we might be permmittcd.to suggest the name of one who, in high public, estimation, is pre-eminently qualified, by Legal acquirements, sound attainments in everyway, and inflexi ble Justice, for ttye station he is Col. Anderson Mitchell. Col. Mithell, as well-known in this portion of the State, is an eminent and old member c f the Bar, deep-read in the Law and with legal acquirements second to none in tho State. WetruBt that Gov. Ellis when he fills the vacancy, will consider of the merits and qualifications of Col. Mitch ell, whoso appointment would certain y adorn the ermine, and could not be otherwise than popular. Statesville Candy Manufactory.

The following is taken from an ex change: It is not often that Courts o Justice undertake to settle theologiea dogmas, and perhaps it is well that they do not. Some weeks ago, a Mr. John Handley, Seneca Count, Ohio died, leaving a legacy to the Catholic Church, to say Mass and offer prayers for the benefit of souls in purgatory. The heirs contested tho will on the f ground that the bequest was illegal. The Court decided in favor of the heirs stating that this designation was too indefinite, and that the Roman Catho lie Church herself ( could not prove for a certainty that there are souls in pur gatory who can be benefited by Mass es and prayers. Should this deeission be sustained in the higher Courts, it would materially 'ffeet tho revenues of the Cftthotieibhri6.h. " . " r , ,;t-7ij , .ft C 0 n gr e S s.

It is to be prosumed it is to be devoutly hoped that southern slaveholders, who pro feas to entertain such abject abhorrence for northern abolitionists, will no' more forever hereafter, spend their summers at northern watering places, and their money to enrich the enemies of the south as they have hither to done. If next summer we shall see f ac counts of southern people stopping at Niag ara, Saratoga, Ball's Town, tc, we will at once say that they deserve the very worst that northern cut-throat can send to injure them in their property prjn any other way. If a single Southerner goi (sojourn at one of the above named places, or to spend a week pleasuring at the north, let him be spotted m being as much aa enemy to the south as Se ward or Gidding. : If; the southern people' have business at the north, let them, by all means; go and at tend to it, but reraaia no longer than ! n oeaeary for that particular purpose. :L We are opposed to diaubion, if it be possible to avoid it, and the non-intercourse system, in oar o pinion, ia the surest guaranty against it.:. -It will show the people ol the north, (hat the south f : j;et alonj very relf without themeyen in the Union; an3 that, when the j nttiefqtejmbMdirh wdotto op Uitlilf. tlii -smith mrtL nronerlv 'reHMCto!

We are much mistaken if this muroose shall not be sufficiently far carried in to execution, during the present year, to affect j most injuriously the interests ot JNew jngiana, Jew Yorfc JNew Jersey, and Pennsylvania. The slaveholdmg States have been amply forewarned in the last lew weeks to prepare for the worst, and they have accordingly de termined to forearm. Evil was the hour, to the north. 'as 'concerns all , that she talnea most highly in connection ' with4 herfuture prosperity when she drove those States to such an alternative, uan sue exiN viuow their custom? This is a question thavche will perhaps be better prepared ' to answer twekt months hence than at present : " At the most moderate calculation the nine non-6laveholdjftg States are benefitted to the amount of a hundred million of dollars per annum bv their traffic intercourse with the south. When deprived of this, what will be their condition f Poverty, abjecJLpoverty, to the industrial and ruin, positive ruin, to those who furnish them employment. As a general rule, trade intercourse once destroyed is rarely ever re established. As between the north and the sooth, ira enspen- sion occurs, then existing material relations between them can never, under any circum stances, be resumed. 1 he latr, when she establishes he commercial independence, will be as alien to the former as she' now is to Russia. Tbere is not a product. of any description of the non-slaveholding States that the slave holding Statesmay notentirely dispense with, such articles as they cannot import directly to vastly better advantage than they now re ceive them indirectly, they will soon learn to manufacture profitably. Viewing the snbject in this light, the U mon may be regarded aa practically at an end, as respects the future consumption of northern products hy southern citizens, and the inter course in travel between the one and the oth er. It will likely become as much a custom for southern planters and others to embark at southern ports for Europe, there to pass the summer months, as it ha8 been hereto fore for them to sojourn during those months. at northern cities and at northern watering- places. rvever in the history of tany country have politician's committed such stupendous blun ders as have been committed by the politi cians of the dominant party in the non-slave-holding States. They have almost as bad as cut the throats of the people whom thev profess to love so dearly. Had they been actuated by sentiment of ordinary patriotism. or ordinary honesty, they would have en couraged unceasingly a spirit of devotion to the south, inasmuch as she was the best or friends the benefactor which fed the toiling millions of their fellowcitizens. But it is now too late for the making of adequate amends. The wind has been'sown, and the whirlwind must be gathered.' The south is at least in earnest and her action will be felt distressfully felt in the north .before midsummer. Opposition Meetingin Buncombe.

James E. Thomas, who was; a clerk in the house of Hamilton, Easter & Co., of Bafti more, has been arrested for robbing his em ployers of about $3000 in money and drafts. He is said to have been an excellent clerk, and, no doubt, was betrayed into the dishon orable deed by the lotteries with which Balti more has been cursed. Among the sufferers in the ruins at the time the fire broke out in the Pemberton Mills, was Maurice Palmer, of Rochester, N. II., an overseer. He was much beloved by his friends, and while the digging was going on his voice was . recognized. He was nearly reached when the flames broke out. . He im plored his friends to save him quickly, or he should die. They straggled to reach him, but the flames swept around them. He was confined and could not assist them. As the heat, of the fire began to be felt, his horrible death seemed inevitable. He was able to move one hand and draw his knife, saying he should commit suicide rather than burn, to death. His rescuers pressed on, but his hope of aid gave out, and he drew the knife across his throat. ' Soon after they succeeded is!
