Wo have a case in point, which strongly illus
trates how base an opposition is organized a
gainst the adminstration, by persons) whose for
m position would seem to hae elevated them
abo-e such trickery. Somcfime since, Mr.
Bagby, then Minister to Russia, cootetnplating
as ni matter of course, his resignation upon the
advent of an administration J fhosel views he
could not represent, wrote to Sir. Bancroft, ex
pressing his determination.' 'Mr. Biaiicroft im
mediately wrote back word, n noi account to
resign; -that Mr. Buchanan'sl advice ;wa tor
all the ministers to hold on, soas to! embarrass
trie government, and force thf adniinistration
to remove them : that if this'dbi'rse were pur-
suej, it would tend to make polittcaI capital,
andiwouhl he in accordance with the blans laid

andjatonce tendered nis resignation, slating

soon tliink of a head of depattnent remaining
over after a change of party, iris ministers.
Their positions were! almost identical.
VVe can imagine no sfernel1 reproof to the
policy suggested by Mr. Bancroft,' in accord
ance with the advice of Mr.Bucbanan, than
the position taken by, Mr Blgby,! himself a
leading democrat. When the tactics' of the
part are as base as to draw fdrth reproof from
their own friends it may wellpead jtheMpeople
to distrust them. The present) administration
has been slandered in the foulest inanner, and

HEALTH OF SALISBURY, .
. . , at the people of
the upper counties will have it, in spite of
our frequent; denials, that this place is most
dreadfully scourged with sickness.; The,
n-port now is that this cdmunity is suf- j
fering worse than if wejhad the cholera, i
It is not distinctly understood with what
disease, but it is of a most fearful, conta- ;
gious and fatal character. Mr. , Bogef, '
one
of our citizens, while at the Uatawba (
Springs a few days ago, m,et with a num-
w r . tUr ivhn wpp( pnnnir. ;
oer ui uac)icio tuiyi ff --.-j
ing for a road through teVcountry above ;
this place ; and who stated, as their rea- ;
son for wishing to avoiq passing mis way,
that thev nau Deen lOiaai a qouse iwcmj
miles beyond Lincolnton, (Schenck's) and j
also at the Hotel in Lincolnton, that it is
" really dangerous for travellers to pass
through Salisbury?' on account of the
sickness which prevai
while at Lincolnton, hq
remarks about dreadfu
3 here. Again,
frequently heard
sickness among
our people. Now, if these reports iwerc States cannot help seeing it, that the op
not positively injurious to us as a commu- j position a;re determined to be satisfied
nity, we would permit them to pass unno- . with nothing, but will oppose every mea
ticed. But the contrary being the fact, it ; sure, hoiyever good howejver much it
becomes our duty to ! contradict them may tenditowards giving life and energy
whenever they are put out. It is ajmost j to the couhtry, just for the sake of housing
notorious truth, and one for which we i
trust all are duly thankful, that we have
had for many months past, better health
in Salisbury, than for yejars before. There
is no contagious disease here of any char
acter, whatever, that we are aware of.
Even the chills, or ague and fever, which
is to be found more or less every where in
the South at this season of the year, is
scarcely known here at this time ; and we
venture to say that there is not another
community in the whole State, of equal
population, enjoying better health jthan
the people of Salisbury.; 1
As these reports appear to have had
their origin about Lincolnton, we trust
that the papers in that place, will do us
the justice, either to publish this notice or !
to contradict the rumors of which we com
plain.
OUR WELtS.
Owing to the uncommon long spell of
dry weather with which we are visited
at this time, we find that the water in all
our private and public wells is failing ve
ry rapidly. Many of the public weis es
pecially, have almost ceased to afford the
community even a diminished supply,
and that of an inferior,: qualitj. How
long this state of things ivyill lajst, of course
no one can foresee.- It is already quite
inconvenient, and unless we have rain
soon, it may become a serious difficulty.
We are forcibly reminded by this state
of the Wells, of the. utterly helpless and
hopeless condition in Which the Commu
nity would find itself should fire break
out at a time like this Our Wells are
inadequate when at their highest flow for
an occasion of thi& kind. No one who
has ever witnessed a firp in Salisbury jean
fail to remember that our greatest.difli
culty has been to get a sufficient quantity
ot water. Uur engines on this account,
at such times, have been rendered almost Iered in tin,s market. Messrs. Boger &

We learn from the "Argus" that Da

der twelve months ago and sentenced to
be hung, and who appealed to the Su
preme Court, and had a new trial grant
ed him, was put upon his trial again and
convicted; of man-slaughter, and branded
in the brawn of the Thumb with the let
letter M, and discharged. His brother,
Robert Hildreth. by whom the fatal
thrust was givtn to Taylor, is now -in
Rockingham jail, awaiting sentence of
death, which ViIl be pronounced next
week." !
! John Geaslcy, of Rockingham county,
! who was 'arrested in March last for pass

says the Argus "for which we believe,
the Court received the thanks of every

James Radcliff was also tried for dis
turbing a religious congregation, engaged
in divine worship, on the Sabbath, and
duly convicted. His conduct toward the
Minister subsequent to the disturbance,

Newspaper Coincident. In the last Stan
dard is a bitter, article against the Whigs
and President Taylor, headed "More

and of beinff favorable to the adontion of

The next article in the Standard after
theone alluded to above, commences thus:
" Humbug is the prevailing order of the
day, almost every where now. We have
been about as free from it in North Caro
lina, for some long time past, as could pos
sibly be expected," &c.
CONVENTION. THE DAY.
The Greensborough Patriot of the 15th
inst., says : On consultation with some of
our legal friends, who have just been at j
home a few hours from their courts, we j
ascertain that Thursday, the Sth of Oc- '
tobsr, will conflict less with other engage- I
' . ,
ments of our public men generally, than !
any time that has been suggested for hold
ing the Hail Road Convention in this
place.
It is important that the day should be
immediately fixed upon. If there are no
insuperable objections, we respectfully
suggest to Editors friendly to the object,
at once to announce Thursday, October
18as the time for the Convention to meet.
Several of the neighboring counties we
understand are moving for the purpose of
appointing delegates. Wc have reason
to believe that a more deeply anxious in
terest now pervades the public mind, in
all this region, than ever heretofore.. It
is important that this ' tide" of feeling be
" taken at the flood ;" and it is hoped that
the friends of the project will come up
with a determination not only to deserve
success, but to succeed.
ELECTIONS ON THE 10m.
Maine. Partial returns from the State
of Maine show a slight Whig gain in the
popular vote, and a gain of two or three
Whig members of the State Legislature.
The returns clearly indicate, however,
that the Democrats will retain their as
cendancy in the State Government. Dr.
John Hubbard-Js their candidate for Go
vernor, and there is no doubt of his elec-
tion

Vermont. The Boston Atlas gives re
turns from 224 towns, being all with the
exception of 18 towns, by which it ap
pears that the Whigs have made a net
gain of 6093 votes, and that Gov. Cool
idge lacks but GO votes of being elected,
which there is a chance the 19 towns will
give him, as last year they were about
equal. There will be a Whig majority
in the House of Representatives of 38, a

In the following brief paragraph in the London Cor
respondence of the Commercial Advertiser, by way of
comment on the prostration of Hungarian independence,
how pointed a sarcasm, or rather (how just a moral, is
conveyed.
" All the countries which were betrayed into an im
pulsive and unequal stnijle with their rulcri bv the
French example of February, 184, have now ajjnin
been brought to their old subjection. For this-result
probably not less than half a million of lives hav- ben
sacrificed- Such is the debt which humanity and civi
lization owe to France !"

Hungarian Auxiliaries Dreading tie
hip. A recent letter from the feat of
war in Hungary describes in considera
ble detail the formidable auxiliaries the
Maygar armies have found in the wild
population scattered over the vast steppes
and forests of the interior, particularly
the horseherds, or tenders of the troops of
wild horses ot the plains, the swineherds,
and fishermen. The first named of these
arc especially dreaded b the Austrian
troops, on account of tho extraordinary
weapon they carry and use with deadly
skill. It is simply the whip with which
they select and catch any horse of tie
herd they wish to tame and dispose ot
itic application of it in var is quite 1
novelty. It has a handle not more thai
two feet in length, while the thong mea
sures from 15 to 20 ; a leaden ball is fixed
to the end of it. with smaller onrsatdlt
ferent distanc- from it, like shot 00 i
fishing line : w .. n thrown it acts like I
lasso, curling ro und man or horse, or it
strikes either ;. the earth with a crashing
blow. The ho:, herds (or chykosi) ttt
so skilful in the use of this weapon, thai
at full gallop they will strike an eneBT
with unerring certainty, on any part uf
the body they please.
Keep him down. Ay, keep him dovra.

Such is the cry of the world, when a mai
