I repeat to you that Fillmore stock is on the rise, and that rapidly ; and it need not surprise you should the Buffalo prove an anitnal of sur.1t speed and bottom com bined as to beat the old Buck of Pennsvlva nia, and the Pathfinder of nowhere in the Presidential race. I hav the satisfaction of being able to state onjMr. Fillmore's own authority, from his own lips, that he is against repealing the Nebraska Kansas 'Act, or restoring the Missouri Compromise line, and is utterly opposed to any further agitation of the sla very, question, and for restoring harmony and giving permanent repose and peace to our now distracted country. He agreed, too, with me that he and Buchanan at the North were fighting each other's battle, and were waging common war against the com mon enemy that were seeking to poison our political Eden with the serpent and destruc tive element of political free-soilism. I took, leave of the noble, the conserva tive, the constitutional, the patriotic Ex President, who was true to the South, to .t -the Union, and to the Constitution, when a Southern slaveholder had proved a broken reed, $nd who seems commissioned by Providence t save the commonwealth from impending evil, strife and convulsions. His course then was most conspicuous in its results; and his investiture now with the, Presidential mantle would again pour oil on the troubled waters, restore halcyon days to the republic, and give conservatism a triumph that would sweep political (ree soilism and fanatical abolitionism from the land, and establish the peace and -prosperity of the Union on the Rock of the Consti tution.

Leach, the American elector for the 6th Congressional District, will ad dress his fellow citizens at the following times and places : Madison, Leaksville, on 41 Friday Saturday, Tuesday, Friday, Saturday 24 th 25th 28th 31st liist. u Wentworth Walnut Cove, Kernersville, " it Ht Odo !To the Foils! Before another issue of our paper can reach you, the election for President of the United States will be over. We therefore take this last opportunity to appeal to Whigs and Americans and to all who prefer the election ofFillmore, to rally to the polls. We -appeal to you in the name of this glori ous Union which was purchased with the blood and treasure of our fore-fathers. We appeal to you in behalf of our public insti tutions. Act the part of Freemen think M for yourselves, determine to vote for the man of your choice for the man whom you think to be most reliable, the most suitable for the crisis which is now upon the country determine to do what you think is right, and leave the result to Providence, We appeal to you to come up on the day of the election, let no trifling cause, or little inconvenience prevent you from attending. If it is a beautiful day we shall expect you certain, and if it rains we shall expect you for there is as much ne cessity of saving and serving our couniry on a rainy day, as there is when the sun shines forth in all his meredian splendor. -Arc our liberties worth preserving, and is it of any importance to us that this Union should be preserved ? If solhen show your love of Union and devotion to country by attending yourselves, and urging your friends and neighbors to attend the coming election. The election of next Tuesday may decide the destinies of this country. It may give a new impulse to our energies and be the means of showering uponj us in numerable blessings or it may be the means of bringing about a dissolution of the .Union, with the attendant train of curses and wars loo horrible to contemplate. Re member, then, that our country on the 4th of November next eypects every man to do his duty ; and let every patriot every man who loves his country, who loves his home, his wife and his children feel it his duty anil his privilcdjre to to the election and to exert his influence in behalf of those j principles upon which we all believe de- ! pends tlje safety and prosperity of our Un- ; ion and our Southern institutionsi, Let ; one and all be ther, let none stayawav. a It is your country's call, let none fY&ft it lightly. It raav be the last call of the kind that will ever bo made. Before another four years roll around, the cry of disunion which is now only whispered, may be heard resounding from every hill, and in- stead of a call to elect a president of these United States, the drum may be calling the people of the South to baihe their hauds in the blood of their Northern brethren. Nqw's the day and now's the hour to serve ! our country and to roll back the waves of j disunion, nows the day and now'i the hour ; to stifle fanaticism, and' to allay sectional j strife and to put to rest forever the agitation on this everlasting mger: question." Come ' out ye- bold and trueon. f th h! Vnk State, and administer-to these dis-unionists and agitators, a rebuke that, will long be re membered. Recollect "that Fillmore has keen tried, an& found not only faithful but able to contend with: a nj danger, or. difficul ty hich'roaybeset'tnVshipStale. Re collect that in 1850 he calmed the troubled waters and gave peace and quietness to our country, and that he is agaii able to sa save our glorious union.; Tlie Yadkin Pill Maker. r r- - f We have boen absent so much attending Mass Meetings, tliat'we.have been compell ed to defer many' things we wish to notice.

Mr. Simril, who had been teaching vocal music in our vil lage for the last few weeks, on the night of the 23 inst., brought out his juvenile class, consisting of about forty-five children from four to twelve years old, and it was truly astonishing to witness with what accuracy and taste they sung quite a number of pie ce?. The audience were perfectly delight ed ana carried away, and unanimously pro nounced it the finest treat they had ever enjoyed. Mr Simril has formed a second class of Juveniles numbering 70, but where they all come from is a novel to us, for we had not supposed that there were over half that number of children in the village under or between the years of four and twelve. Go to your Sunday schools and you would think lhe number of children small, and go to our; other eehools, and you would not suppose that there were twenty in the place. Mr. Simril certainly has a great tact for teaching children, and if parents wherever he goes will form for him a Juvenile class, they will feel themselves amply repaid in the enjoyment and improvement which their children will derive from his instruc tions. Jackson Hill Mass Meeting. We had not the pleasure of attending the meeting at Jackson Hill on the 24l'h inst., but we learn that the Whigs and Americans . . .. 1 had a glorious time of it, ana VUal much good has been effected. Gen. Dockery was there, and made, we understand, an able an eloquent address. The General is devoting his time and energies to the good cause, he is enlisted for the war. If a few others would imitate the example set them by Gen. Dockery, and manifest the same zeal, how easily it would be to carry the Slate for Fillmore. Mr. Kittrell was also present, and made a speech which we have heard; spoken of in the highest terms of praise, as an able effort and calculated to do much good. J. - W. Thomas also ad dressed the crowd, in that forcible and im pressive style which characterize all his efforts. It is reported that Dr. Ncwsome and William Harris, became considerably fatigued as the meeting progressed, but whether they finally gin out, we have not yet ascertained. The Ulass Meetings. On the 2-Ith, according to previous an nouncement, the freemen of Guilford, Da vidson, Forsyth, Randolph and the adjoin ing counties, met in Grand Mass Meeting at High Point on the N. C. Jl. Road, and it was indeed a glorious meeting. For se veral i days previous the weather had been most delightful, but the morning of the 24th was rather gloomy and threatening rain, which no dbubt prevented many from at tending the meeting, who would otherwise have been present to participate in thecoun cils of the thousands of their fellow citizens who had assembled to do honor to Millard Fillmore, the patriot Statesman of the age. W e reached High Point about 11 o'clock in the cars, when we found a large rrowd col lected around 'the depot, and scattered thro the adjoining groves amusing themselves in various ways, while many were busily engaged in fitting up their tents. About 12 o'clock, M., the crowd assembled at the stand, when the meeting was organized by calling Col. Henry B. Elliott of Randolph to the Chai r. and appointing Joseph Spur gin of Davidson, QoV Rush of Randolph, George C. Mendenhall of Guilford, and 1). II. Starbuck of Forsyth Vice Presidents.- Mr, Elliott, in a brief but eloquent manner, returned his thank for the honor confered upon. him in calling him to the Chair, and closed ly introducing to the audience. A; J. Dargan,- Esq., Elector for the 7th Con gressional district, j Mr. Dargan was greet ed with . rounds ol applause as he took the standi and was frequently cheered during the delivery of an able and interesting speech. Mr. Darganf effort waa a very happy one; his speech abounded with his- l . u . .." . - --. .-., . j . V i r i. tortcal facts intermixed " with anecdote and Jinmpr, and at times he was very eloquent enchaining the. audience for over an, hour. When Mr. . Dargan had closed, it was an nounced that there would be a recess for an hour, when Mr. Ray ner would address the meeting. At the appointed hour, and at the firing of the cannon, the people again assembled at the stand to listen to Mr. Ray ner, who delivered a most eloquent and patriotic speech of more than two hours in length. -The evening was cold and inclem ent, but no one left his seat or scarcely, changed his position during the-whole time occupied in the delivery of the speech, while the pathetic and eloquent strains of the speaker frequently.moved the audience to tears. Mr. Rayner's exposition of the principles of be American party, was able,' eloquent and conclusive. We-- regret that we have not time and space to follow Mr. Rayner through the many arguments and points of his j speech, though perhaps it is better that we have not, for we should fail in the attempt, to do the Hon. gentleman justice, for it is neeessary to hear Mr. Rayner in order to have the least concep tion of his ability and of the power and force of his eloquence. The abuse which Democratic speakers and newspaper scriblers have heaped upon Mr. Rayner, is strong evidence of the great fear in which they hold him, and of the deadly blows, he deals among their ranks. Although the owner of over two hundred slaves, a constant effort has been made to impress upon the public mind, that he is tainted with abolitionism. We wish that every Protestant in the land could have heard that part of Mr. Hayner's speech in which he dwelt upon Romanism and its tendencies. He showed from Roman Cath olic authority, that they regard marriage as a sacrament and not a civil contract, and it not solemnized by a Catholic Priest, it was nothing more than a state of concubinage, and the offspring illegitimate. 44 Go home" said Mr. Rayner, "and tell your wives that the Roman Catholics say that they are liv ing in a state of concubinage, take your lit tle daughters on your knees, and tell them that they are bastards, then tell them that Buchanan is the candidate of the Catholic party, and that Fillmore is the candidate of the Protestant party, and if you do not know how to vote, let slandered virtue and prattling infancy tell you." So great and so constant has been the effort to predju dice the people of the West against Mr. Rayner, our people had learned to look up on him with distrust, but all such untound ed and unjust predjudiccs are fast fading away, and by his appearance and his speak ing among us, he is making an impression, that news-paper scriblers and little party huckters will find it impossible to over come and useless to resist. After Mr. Rayner had closed, the crowd dispersed to their tents and to other places of accomodation fitted up for the occasion. After supper, quite a number collected in front of the station house, where they were entertained by short speechrs from Messrs. D. F. Caldwell, A. G. Foster. Wilson, Armfield, Scott and the editor of the Flag. We were kindly entertained during the night, by our host Jeremiah Picket, and carl y next morning, Jn company with Messrs. Dargan and Caldwell, wc left to attend a Mass Meeting at Cotton Grove, in Davidson County, .so that we can only speak of the second day's proceedings at High Point, from what we have heard, and that is, that there were nearly three limes' as large a crowd on the second as on the first day. That they were addressed in the morning by Mr. A. G. Foster of Randolph, and 5lr. B. A. Kitrell of David son, in able and eloquent speeches, which reflected much credit on thesppakers them selves, and highly delighted the large and intelligent audience w hich had assembled to hear them. In the evining Gov. More head closed the exercises of the day, and of the occasion, by one of the most able and happiest efforts of his life, from all accounts it must hare told with most thrilling effect upon the crowd? North Carolina has many able and talented sons, but no one. to whom we have ever listened, can so easily and so completely take captive his audience and sway them to his will, as Gov. Morchead. His name is a lower of strength in North Carolina, and the election on the 4th of Nomember, will show that he is exerting a powerful influence in this! State. As we stated above, we. in company with Messrs. Dargan and Caldwell, left High Point on the morning of the 25lh for Cot ton Grove, where we arrived about o' clock, and found qnite a large crowd who had assembled for the purpose , of hearing public speaking and partaking of a .free barbecue furnished by the liberality of John Miller, Esq. and others, to whom all praise is due; for it certainly was as fine a barbe cue as was ever served, upon an occasion of that kind. ' The tables were covered with nice white clolhs and every thing was 'as neatnnd as clean and tempting as could be imagined. Sq. juuch sp, that it. was very eTidenuiial some ladieVf taste and refinef nient had had the ordering' and arrangement of matters. And upon inquiry! we jfbuntl that MrsXIiller had shown her-patriotism and ztal.m the good - cause by superintend ing the arrangement ofthe tables. You may 'call it ' a barbecue or whatever you please;' wecall it a feast, at whjeh hundreds Lit L j -11 im ; . partook and were all satisfied. The meet ing was organized -by calling Dr-Charles L. Payne to the Chair, who;, introduced to the audience . Mr, Dargan who if possible made a better, .and. more eloquent speech than he had the previous day at High Point. He was listened to with the most marked attention and deepest Interest. Mr. Dar gan s reputation as a puoiic speaker nau preceeded him;' and he v ell 'sustained him self. His excoriation of the old line Whigs who are going round the green pastnres of 'Democracy and reaching over licking the out1 side blades, was terrible and de cidedly rich ; though we must confess it was rather cruel, considering that these gentlemen, when the great v Democratic feast is spread out will have to wait in the kitchen,'' as Mr. Dargan said he had to do when a boy, when folks come, and will not get to the first table," standing on the Cincinnatti platform, in the language of Mr. Dargan away off in one corner, like an old goose in cold w'eather with oiie foot up. After Mr. Dargan had closed, the crowd were invited to partake of the barbecue ; and having done so, they assembled again. when Mr. Caldwell entertained them with a most elegant speech. Mr. Caldwell spoke with great force and energy, and gave the Democracy some pretty heavy blows from which they will not easily recover. We always listen to Mr. Caldwell with pleasure he speaks from a full heart, and there is no man in the country better posted or bet ter informed in politics. The Mass Meeting at High Point passed off well and will lonjr be remembered With pleasure by the thousands who participated therein. We were glad to see so many ladies in attendance at both places. We are opposed to ladies dabling in politics but we rejoice in seeing them showing their patriotism and devotion to their country, by attending on such occasions and by their countenance encouraging their husbands fathers and brothers. ISrutal Ulurder. Tho. most brutal, unfeeling murder we ever heard of, was perpetrated in the western part of this county, on Saturday evening last. A young woman by the name of Martha Pinnix, started on that afternoon, to go from t ne neighbor's house to anothci ; but not arriving, her friends" and neighbors, becoming alarmed, made diligent search from Saturday night till Monday morning, when her dead body ras founel in a thicket in the wood?, having heen sho through the head with a shot gun, and her throat horribly cut. She had evidently been enticed into the woods by some devlish fiend in human shape, and then brutally murdered. . ( We refrain, at present, from pruden tial considerations, from publishing the names of any SUSpected ot this foul deed, or to give currency to the many rumors connected with the matter. The girl and her parents were highly respectable. This shocking affair has created the most intense excitement throughtout the whole neighborhood. Greensboro9 Patriot. From JVlcaragrua. Hy the arrival of the Tennessee, at New Orleans, we have later news from Nicaragua. From J a somewhat discon nected elespalch, it feems that Walker's forces and the Guatemalions have had two collisions at Massaya and Granada, from both of which places the Guatema lans were driven, with a loss in the last encounter of 1,100 out of. 4,000 men, all told, of whom . hut 1C were killed, and 30 wounded. The details' are possibly somewhat exaggerated, though there can be no doubt of Walker's victor)-. The most serious part of the business would seem to be the murder by the na tives of three Americans, entirely dis connected with Walker. Of this, how ever, no particulars are given. N. Y, Express.

Educational Ccaventlon. a jus convention rr mn,i m day evening last.by the appointment ,r . -fi"""'tu U II 1 llr. ur. J. i; Wheat, of thc Universiiy of X v,., r-resmentj l W. Orgharn, of Greens borough, Vice President; C. C. Cole of ureensDoro', ana IL H. Brown of Ashe- boro', becretanes; and Prof. Kerr, of Murresboro, Treasurer. We are not prepared to give in detail the proceedings of this highly interesting-Convention,: which continued iu sessions until Friday evening last. There were a large number of delegates in at tendance representing nearly all por tions of the State and many of the most important Institutions of learning within its bounds. Teachers, of . Common Schools were there, and the friends of education. We have rearcly seen u hod y which presented an assemblage of mCu" of greater intelligence. . Among the most important subjects which occupied the time and attention of the. Convention we would name the following : The permanent organization of a State Educational Association was de termined on ; and Committees appointed to mature the plan, draft a Constituthn, &c. This Association will have subdivis ions, yith District and Country Associ ations. Mr. R. II. Brown, of Asheboro', pre sented to the Convention a Manuscript Spelling BooA, of which he is the author, which was described as possessing new and important features and improve ments, and asA'ed the Convention to ap point a Committee to examine it'and re port upon its merits. The Convention received the application, and appointed a Committee accordingly. We learn that Mr. Benjamin-Sumner, of this, vicinity was appoined on this Commit tee, whieh, by the way, was a most capi tal selection, there being few more criti cally accurate scholars. A number of learned and labored es says were read to the Convention, rill bearing upon the general s-ibjcct of edu cation, in some one or the other of its various interests. Some of these were designed in ocspeeial rcferenee to the free schools of our State, and their au thors devoted themselves to the devel opment of plans and suggestions looking to the greater efficiency and success of that system. These essaysf in the main, were interesting ; and as they- were open to discussion, gave rise to frequent and able debates. They will probably be published3nd may heieafter become valuable as instituting changes and iin- provemenls in our educational system. Mr. B. Sumner moved a Resolution, declaring that we ought to have a Mili tary School m this State; or a school designed on the plan of the Wcst-Poir.t Academy. He sustained his motion th reading to the Convention and able pa per, prepared by himself, in favor of such an establishment, which met a very fluttering reception. The resolution was adopted, and the Convention reques ted the author to furnish the Executive Committee witb a copy of his views a read In their hearing. Mr. D. A. Davis, of this place. ofTere ,1 a resolution to memorialise the Legisla ture, for the establishment of a Normal School in each Judicial or Congressional District of the State, for the purpose cf qualifying young men to become teach ers in the Common Schools of the State. This we think, if carried out as we heard it explained, will prove a most important acquisition to the free school system. According to the plan as lie tailed, the pupils of these schools are to be educated at the charge of the school .1 - . u -,ntrihntioi fur ! tvblph will mis purpose, us pru i, v " r " A - - 1 4 ll.PAO rot exceed two or three dollars,) to a l um sufficient to pay the teachers' S3lan , liAinn oil t ll fl f IV I 11 hr renin red. u.

There were manv other things sa: and done, as will appear more fully i." the published proceedings of the Con v en- tion, which we suppose vvill be gen to the public in the course of a few day-. We congratulate the State on thisj first, educational convention assemb in North Carolina; and feel confident the work so propitiously begun i . . . hi- the iV secuted with a zeal equaueu j portanceor merits-ofthe cause it i adoration, m th? acsigneu iu prwiu'- -. old North State, will ere long uv here as it does in the most favored P lions of our Country.
