Democratic Candidate or Congress. We again hoist our banner with the name of Hon. J. R. J. Daniel inscribed on it as the Democratic candidate for Con gress in this district. Wc should have done so ere this, in conformity to the general wish of the democracy in this part of the district; but a disposition be ing manifested elsewhere to hold a Con vention, in deference to their opinions, and to avoid unnecessary dissentions, we refrained until we could ascertain the re sult. We learn that no Convention was held, and accordingly we proclaim our candidate, and have no doubt of his success. Godey's Lady's Book.

The beautiful engravings of -'The Church Porch," "Tire fair Equestrian," "The Little Family," and "Love's young Bream," are rare specimens of ingenuity and talent, and fully sustain the declara tion of the enterprising Publisher, that "additional efforts are being made to make Mr. Graham. We copy the follow ing remarks relative to Mr. Graham, the secretary of the Navy, from the New York Commercial Advertiser. "We cannot omit this opportunity of saying that every where the Secretary of the Navy, (Mr. Graham,) before bat little known in this section of the country, has won the esteem and confidence of the people; and wc happen to know that the evidences of enterprise, shown along the entire route of the Erie railroad, equally excited his surprise and admiration. A North Carolinian, with a North Caroli nian education, he was perhaps scarcely prepared for what he saw, but through him the citizens of his own State will hear favorable accounts of the Empire State. The warmth of his reception by the people deservedly increased at every stage of his progress, and we find that at Syracuse he made a speech of some length, which was very cordially received, and which shows that he fell himself perfect ly at home among the people, and felt a common interest with them. Altogether the Eri Railroad Celebration was the setting of a ball in motion for good, of which the effects cannot be calculated." been deemed .expedient to place all the' five to ten cents pcr ih Gen.

A Conven tion of gentlemen from the Counties on Albemarle Sound, and the Roanoke river, was held at Plymouth on the 22d nit., to adopt measures to obtain from Congress an appropriation for the improvement of Nags Head. A large number of delegates were in attendance, and speeches were de livered by Hon. David Outlaw, Gen. Ehringhaus, and others, in favor of the project. A committee was appointed to obtain names to petitions to Congress on this subject. The Convention adjourned to meet again at Elizabeth City on the 31st of October next. ib. other stockholders tlpon the same footing. so that the stockholders, by resolution of the board, are now entitled to receive six pcr cent per annum on their payments, payable ?e mi-a n nlia 1 ly in cash, until the Road pays a 'dividend of six per cent, or ; finishftri: A pnmmittpc has been au thorized, in conjunction with the Presi dent, to canvass the city and county foi the purpose of increasing the subscriptions n thn stock, mid the board have resolved ' 7 that as soon as" the total amount subscrib ed should be J$1,500,00Q, to entitle the Company to receive the aid of the State, they would immediately proceed to the construction of forty to fifty miles of the Road.

Th weather being fine, it is said some ten f twenty thousand of both sexes were assem bled on the occasion. They had bands o music, glee clubs, banners and badges provisions, beer, etc, in short every thing to make a merry time of it They passed over the ferries about eleven o' clock, and took their station On Fox Hill in the vicinity of the Elysian Fields. In the afternoon, a gang from New York and j Hoboken, known as the "Rock Boys" or -Short Boys" visited the Germans, which led to a serious lo.s of life and limb. The Germans allege that the quarrel commen ced by the Short Boys making free with their sausages and beer, while another report says the Germans began quart ell ing among themselves but we think the former report more likely to be true. The first seiious outbreak occurred aj McCaity's sal Jon, where they met aboui three o'clock. It is asserted by some thai no disturbance had previously occurred; bKt be that as it ma', here a general mele began, which resulted in killing am! wounding several and the demolition of the house. They fought with knives, pistols, clubs, broken chairs, bits of board from the fence, which they tore up, etc H e victory long remaining doubtful, but finally favoring the Germans, after a bat tle of three hours' duration.
