Before Pool and Ellis came West. it was understood that they had closed the campaign in the Last. eil,'they spoke in Pittsboro' on last Saturday, : 21st. From Pittsboro' Ellis runs oflf again away down to Wilson, and to Sampson county. Pool remains in the West, speaking at Asheborough, Charlotte, . and other places. hy don't Ellis meet him ? Ellis, we see. is to speak at Charlotte on the 31st. Why didn t he meet Pool there on the 24th ? Pool is to sneak at Gold Hill. Rowan, on the 26th. Why don't Ellis meet him there ? Ah, it is said that Ellis ha3 to meet the Council of State in Raleigh on that day to appoint a Judge. Appoint a Judge, .indeed I and who wants a judge now : this is vacation time, there are no Courts to hold at this time. It is the Governor who calls the Council together. Why did he do it at this time r Was it for an excuse to get away from Pool ? It certainly looks so. It is a cleat case of hack a clear back down. It re minds us of the Pugilistic Justice of the Peace who was always ready for a fight,, but wheneverlie was about to be whipped he availed himself of the authority of his office and commanded the peace. So Ellis, when Pool gets him down, he calls his Council togeth er at Raleigh, and leaves to. attend to executive business. Leave the cam paign to appoint a Judge ! Why, it's two monins Deiore eitner oi tne cir cuits commence, though it must be admitted that some of our Democratic appointees require a good long time for preparation. Greensboro' Pat What the King Says. , Mr. Buchanan in that ' last political speech' which it would have been well for him never to have made, says that neither Breckinridge or Douglas were regularly nominated by the requisite two-thirds ol the Convention, and that ..Questions we Want Answered; Will-the fricndss(f Breckinridge fa Tor us, with art answer to the following j guestioii .

Goldsbcro' Rough Notes. 'Hold your temper, Mr. Rough Notes. You'll need that vituperation to expend in a different direction, 'ere long. You say that the report that Gov. Ellis has withdrawn from the canvass is a "malicious falsehood." That, however, is only based on a sim ple assertion. You say that an ac quaintance of yours sawJudge Person a week ago, and the Judge thought the Governor's prospects in the West were very nattering, and for that rea- sonthe report is false, "maliciously false. Av e think, however, that that should furnish a reason why the Gov should take it ceoLthis hit weather But you say that the Iredell Express, irom w nicu we iook me extract is a Know Nothing paper, and for that reason the report is false, strange- ar gument, Mr. Rough otes. We would like to have the opinion of the Notes as to which can excell in misrepre senting tacts, these days, the Know JNothmg or the Democratic papers. Its no use, Mr. Rough Notes you can t get up a panic so easily. Keep cool, and you will find that though the "Progress" may sometimes, inadver tently give currency to false reports extracted from other- papers; yet some others1 not so old as the "Pro gress" are guilty of circulating false reports that they didn't extract from other papers ; we will, however, grant through courtesy that they do not do it with malicious intent. Newbern Progress. Old Abe on the Battle Field. The following story of the first and last military exploit of Abe Lincoln is told by the Toledo Times : At the time of the -Brack Hawk war "Abe" enlisted. The company mustered bU mounted men. They started off in fine spirits to engage in the deadly fray. Arriving at appoint on the prairies about two hundred miles from the Indian lines, the party bivouacked for the night, picketed their horses, aird slept on their arms. The mpthod of picketing the horses was that in common use fastening a hugo rope some SO feet in length to a stake firmly planted, and then, using smaller lines oi considerable length, one end attached to the animal's neck, and the other to the main rope. Dur ing the night the sentinel imagined he saw the Indians, and immediately dis charged his old fusee. The camp was aroused in an instant, and each sprang to bis saddle "Old Abe" sh.ot . out in the darkness on. his charger like lightning, until the ropes "hove taut," when over he went, horse nd himself, headlong. Thinking himself caught in an Indian ambush, he gathered up, mounted, and putting, spurs to his horse, took the opposite shute, but soon brought up as before, horse and 'Old Abe' was surrounded, md shouted, "Gentlemen Indians, I surrender without a shot but have not a word to offer.

Indeed; in all th Gulf States, at least a third, if not more, of the Democrats are Douglas men, and will no doubt warmly sup port him for the Presidency." ''It appeared to very clearly, that, not withstanding Mr. Pool does not seek or la bor to array the non-slaveholder against those who own slaves, or the Institution itself, the practical icsult will be the introduction of a sentiment peculiarly hostile iand injurious to the intercuts' of slaveholders.

''The Poor Man," was the burthen of the song from first to last." -Charlotte Bulletin. The alove w e -copy from the Charlotte Bulletin, after the editor had-heard Mr. Fool make Ws speech Tuesday, the 24th of July, at Charlotte. We can but express our sur prise at the conclusion arrived at by the Bul letin, whose editor is a South Camliiuan, and hails from a State where slaves have been taxed ad valorem, these many years. A State, too, that lias always claimed to be Democratic the editor of the Bulletin be longing, himself, to the Democratic party that was. Is ad valorem taxation of slaves in South. Carolina,, 'peculiarly hostile and injurious to the interest of slaveholders" there? If so, w hy has the law been continued in that State? Who ever heard it said, that the non-slaveholder was nrraved against the slave holder in South Carolina, or- anv vvhere in the Southern States ? Florida, Georgia, Ken tucky, Louisiana, Maryland. Texas, Tennes see, in all these States little negroes and all slaves are taxed from the cradle to the grave All the above States but one Maryland- claim to be Democratic. Iia9 any thought ever found utterance among the people of those States, that because slaves are so tax ed, the non-slavehohler was arraved against the slaveowner ? or vice versa? No! No one believes there,''"the practical result will be (or has been) the introduction of a senti ment ''peculiarly hostile and injurious to the interests of slaveholders." No man can'say, that he has ever, heard any complaint of that sort made by the citizens, or any portion of them, in the aforesaid States.. What reason, then, is there for supposing that ad valorem would operate differently in iNoitn Carolina: A liait dozen or more States have tried the principle of imposing equal taxation upon the leading articles of capital, and found it to work well ; then wy should North Carolina, fear to follow the ex ample? The objection is absurd. But Mr. Pool is charge 1 by the Bulletin with making ".an ad captanibtrn appeal to the populace and their prejudices," SLc.

Ellis stands charged in a i!I of indictment for Jvjhtiny, in the county ofpjen derson ! , s ' wJien it so stared ? We have heard Mr. Pool make a speech upon the subject of ad' valorem, and we had perused several speech es which he had made previously, upon the j same subject, and we must confess that his addresses, so fur as we eould perceive, were free, altogether, from the charge set up by the Bulletin. Tnere was nothing of ihe'dem ajoyue exhibited in any of these speeches -although the Bulletin charges differently ; but Mr. Pool contrary to the practice, of Gov. Ellis, who appeals to prejudice altogeth er, using nothing like argument Mr, Pool, we say, addresses himself and his subject to the understanding of the people, leaving them to weigh the matter of his arjrument in the scales of Justice. That we eay, has been the uniform course of Mr. Pool, ever since the canvass' opened, and there is little probabil ity that he would vary his long-followed practice,'Uhen he had reached Charlotte. We mast think, that the "severe indispo sition wnicn causea our cotemporary to leave the ground, before the other speakers delivered their addresses, hd some influence in shaping his too severe strictures upon the remarks of Mr. Pool. We hope that our co temporary has recovered his health and usu al flow of spirit since, and feels once more in good humor with the world.
