I if The Southerner. .TAWBORO': FEBRUARY 20. DEMOCRATIC MEETING A public meeting of the Democracy of Ediieconite, will be held tt the Court House in Tawboro', on Tuesday, the 23rd inst., it being the second day of . the County Court, for the purpose of appointing delegates to the Democratic iState Convention, to be held in Char- i lotte, the 14th of April next, to nomi . uate a Gubernatorial candidate for this ;tate. -, To the Editor of The Southerner. ,y'nr Raleigh, Feb. 16th.

' I shall ee. you at. your Court. I um, very respect fully, J). K. McRae. - ' EarMr. Leak, in a letter in the last Fayetteville Observer, withdraws li s ' name as a candidate for Governor. Raleiyh Stand. Godey's Lady's Boole. : We have received the March No. of this beautilul periodical, abounding in beautiful illustrations, useful "and en tertaining reading matter, &c. Congress. A majority of the Senate Committee "on Territories, havo prepared a bill, providiug simply for the admission of "Kansas under the Lecompton Constitu tion, similar to those heretofore passed on simiTar occasions. In the House, several propositions looking to a full investigation of Kan sas affairs, as indicated in the original resolution of Harris, were voted down by a uniform And strictly party vote of eight to seven. Utah. Supplies for the Army in TJtah are being ordered by the Department in large quantities. Three thousand bar rels of pork are to be sent from New York and Raltimore to San Francisco. This disposition of. supplies indicates that a campaign against the Mormons will be conducted frosi the California sid?; and if we may believe the tituo ny which comes from that , quarter - through various channels, the dispesi tion of the inhabitants of California, ; Oregon and Washington Territories, to participate in the war is very evident. f They desire that the whole matter be entrusted to them no troops being Bent from the Atlautic States. Treasury Notes. ' The workmen at the Gjsport navy ' yard in Virginia, were paid off on Wed nesday last in Treasury notes, which, it is stated, they sold at par, for Virgin- ,ia bank notes, and at three per cent. premium for ' North Carolina bank notes; the latter being equal to one per cent, in Virginia notes. Wil. Her. Postage Frauds. in accordance with the recent instre- . tions from Washington, the postmasters ; throughout tne country are looKing up ..the frauds which are daily committed to avoid lawful postage. The extent j up and placed it iu his pocket. He of these frauds will be best under- went hewue 'to fef&akf'ast,aftr WUich feel stood by our enumerating the contents ing like taking a smoke, he "fired up'1 of 28 papers opened by the postmaster ot Utiaricstown, iass., wituin tniee days 11 were written upon, 3 contain ed dress patterns, 3 three skeins of silk each, 3, contained letters, 2 had pieces of black silk, 1 contained a laud- -scape drawing, 1 a letter and a S3 bauk bill, 1 a child's apron, 1 a roll of rib " bon, 1 a worked ladies' collar and I a ' china baby. The amount of postage " ' paid for these 28 papers was but 28 ;r cents, while the amount which should J have been paid was 7,17. Wilmington Her- , Man M&rdeMed by his Slaves. "Wc arc paiued to learn, says the E- lizabeth City Pioneer, that Mr. Wm D. Davenport, a highly respected and ' wealthy citizen of Washington county, was ghot down iu his own house ou Xuesday evening Lst, about dusk; and. upon investigation, three of his slaves confessed themselves the perpetrators of s the foul deed, alleging that they had obtained a gun for the purpose, oi a ycung man in the neighborhood, (Wm. Goodman,) who, with the negroes, has been arrested and lodged in jail. The event produced an intense eicitement several hundred men assembled on the spot, and a strong determination was manifested to lynch the guilty wretch es; but, more prudent counsels finally prevailed, and the negroes with their white coadjutor were handed over to the officers of the law. The Washington Times says: It is also reported that J. L. Batemao, was shot dead in his piazza, near Fly raoutu, last week, and that a white man ant three negroes had been arrested on sua- picion Caution The Halifax correspondent of the Pe tersburg Express, under date l'ith lust, says : I learned a day or two go thata son of Mr. Roderick Pulleu, residing near Briukleyville. in tisis -county, died last week from drinking oil of vitriol. He tarried behind when the family went to break fa, to get a drain from the cupboard, and, in his baste, drank the vitriol by mistake. His death is repre sented as a very horrid ene. This may serve as a cautiou to both parents and children: to the first, against keeping such ueatlly poisons exposed about the house; and to the latter, agaiust dram drinking in the general, aud on the sly in particular. Sickness. A letter to the Editors of the Fay etteville Observer, dated Graham, Jan t?9, says": of sickuc-s I in our little viHage during n or ei''ht in utbs. There toe -last even have been, I suppose, from 20 to 25 j deaths in the village and the immediate vicinity, mostly from typhoid and ntr vous tevors, and thirt in a .population not exceeding 800, and in a part of the country always noted for health."

A bill providing for the banishment hor enslavement of the free neirroes of Virginia, after tiie expiration of six months from th passage of the bdl, was lost in the legislature of that -state, a few days ago, by a vete of 63 to 74.

A most daring attempt was made Wednesday morning at Philadelphia, to destroy humau life, by means of a "infernal machine?1 Situated not a i hundred miles from the Exchange, is the place of business of a well known barber, who is celebrated fr his early Niagara has arrived, with dates to the risings. Wcduesdav itioruinjr he catne.9Qih uliimn t0 his shop just as the day was begining to dawn, and when about to euter b discovered a very nice looking cigar lyug on tuo step, as tnc -weea ap- i peared to be very clean, he picked it ithecigar. Presently his attention was eaneu t sometuing wnicn ne couia uoi j attend to while smoking, and laying the "Havaua ' upou the mantel piece,! he remarked "that is a very bad cigar." Iu 4fcho t time bis sou, a small child, coiauieuced cutting up the cigar, when he found in the centre a quill about two inches in length, containing pow der aud shot. The ends were so ar ranged as when the fire reached the quill, the shot would fly into the mo'Vth of the smoker 3 This was, indeed, a very narrow escape. Tuo was to be victim is a quiet, inoffensive man; (md he cannot imagine who the villam who prepared the machine'1 is, Mill Burnt. 'We regret to learn that Jamet Wat tcr's mill, in this county ; was burnt on Tuesday ujUt by suae iuceudiary. This is a heavy, loss, - not only 'to M r. Waters, but also to the neigbors. We 'presume, though have not beard, that there was more or lesi grain in the Mill belonging- to the neigbors, brought there to be ground. It was one of the best Mills in this section of the State.

The Jacksonville (Fla ) 'Republican records the death of Mrs. Winnie Lassi ter on the 28th ultimo, aged 130 years. She was a native of North Carolina, and was married in that colony many years before the revolution. The Mormons. The Mormons who have recently left San Bernardino, California, for Suit Lake, made enormous sacrifices, in selling their .-staes. One .of them sold his farm and vineyards which were last year assessed at $10,003 for $150! 1 Another said property, cowsistinr of i extensive orchards, a distillery which co&t SI 7,000, a flour laili, saw mill, &c, costing, altogether, nut less than $75, 000, for $tj,000. The fanaticism which prompts such sacrifices as ihesc must be powerful indeed. A .Mormon Advertisement.
