Philadelphia on last Saturday evening, at which
letters breathing1 conservative sentiments-and de
votion to country, were received from John J.
Crittenden, Edward Everett, Millard Fillmore, C
M. Conrad, Jno. M. Botts, E. Brooks and George
Biggs, At the conclusion of the reading of these
letters Mr. Pechin, who read them, said he had
another letter to read the like of which would
never again be received by that or any other com

Speeches were then delivered and much enthu
siasm prevailed. Wo hope that the demonstration
may be productive of good results, and that at the
next Congressional election E. Joy Morris and all
others like him will be kept at home. The ballot
box is the only furnace that can prove these Union
sympathisers true metal. Let us hope and wait:
tho members of Congress having drawn enough
pay to stiil the clamors of landlords and washer
women will not dissolve the Union this session.
Recently too there' have been great Union de
monstiationsin Louisvilc, Ky., and at other points
in tho great West, at w hich many of the best men
in the land have raised their voices for the Union,
the Constitution and equal rights.
We are satisfied that a reaction is taking place
fill over the country and that a mighty Union
feeling is welling up. in the whole American heart,
and if tho ma .hinations of w ire pullers and the
cunning and secret devices of trading politicians
can only be thwarted in November by placing a
national States Right man at the head of the
government the UnioiiiiwiU receive a new lease
and we shall hear nothfng more of dissolution for
n dozen years to cc'.hc.P Certainly there is much
to hopo for; and too there is much work for every
patriot to do who values the blessings conferred
by the Constitution and Union under which he
live.
ftcod Southern Papers.
It is w ith pleasure that we call especial atten.
tion to an advertisement of the Petersburg Daily
and Weekly Express in another column, The
Express already has got a foothold all over North
Carolina and1 everywhere it is acknowleged one
of tho very best newspapers in the country. To
our own business men wc unhesitatingly recom
mend the Daily '.Express as preferable to any of
the New York papers because it brings them the
same news, commercial and general, much earli-
er than any other publication
We are glad
to
know that it already has a number of subscribers
at the Newborn P. O. The Weekly Express is a
mammoth sheet and contains an immense amount
of news at only a year. Tluj Daily is mailed
to subscribers at $1 a year, both to be paid in
ad vance. Address A. F Crutchfioid &. Co., Pe
tersburg, Va. ; or subscriptions w ill be received
at tho Progress cfike and forwarded.
The Southern Field and Fireside, a notice of
which also appears in our advertising columns. is
worthy of special mention. It is a larre eirrht
Eage Literary Weekly, and one of the most reada
le papers in the whole country! It is far superi
or tdauy of the northern Weeklies, and as
such wo recommend it to the! public. Addres
James Gardner, Augusta, Ga , who is proprietor
ot tne Jt leld and t ireside.
Blowing Again:- We never can be as modest
as some of the old fogies eonnecjted with the North
Carolina press and there is no use in trying. We
must blow, and we intend to biow until we blow
the Progress to the. uttermost parts of civilization,
if possible. In this connection we desire to ex-'
press our gratitude to a gentleman in Georgia, a
Comparative stranger to us, for a club of '20 sub
scribers just received accompanied by the legal
tender, lie '.may be assured that his friends
whom he induced to subscribe will get the ir mon
ey's worth.
The Progress is leaving all old slow coach con
cerns far behind and the people here and elsew here
are beginning to appreciate its circulation by tljir
extensive advertising patronage Our Daily goes
wherever daily mails can carry it while our
Weekly penetrates every nook and corner, finding
its way where there are no mails as well as where
tbere are.
A few more subscribers will be taken at the
usual rates, $G a year for the Daily, and 1 GO for
the Weekly, to be paid in advance to save the
trouble of collecting.
i THE. Week, of Hokkoks The terrible burn
ing of the tenement house in Elm street New York.
. is divested somewhat 'of its horror, by tho fact that
the loss of life is less than supposed. The nctiiHl
loss of life docs not exceed nine or ten. On the
other hand, the explosion at the hat factory in
Brooklyn proves to have been more serious than
first - bcleived. Six persons were killed out-
right, and eighteen were injured, three of whom
are in a dangerous situation. Te number of ex
plosions, accidents, burnings, and so forth, dur
ing the past week, has leJ the sensation reporters
to call it the week of horro.a. ' -
Onr Washington City Correspondence.
Washington- City, Feb. 6. I860.
Editor Progress : Well, the Helperites have
been compelled to abandon their ground and the
struggle for the Speakership has resulted in the
election of a nondescript politician, Jsnown as
Wm. Pennington, of the peach-growing State of
Jersey. The republicans were forced to renounce
their Helper-book candidate and concentrate up
on one of their most moderate and conservative
partizans, and although his election is a calamity,
yet it is a great point gained to have driven: these
fanatics from a position which they boastingly
declared never .should be deserted. " Sherman or
nobody was the rallying republican shout ;
" Sherman or nobody " was inscribed upon their
banner,, and shrieked by their orators, w ith a de
claration that they would never flinch until ' Ga
briel's last trump " or "the crack of doom."
"Sherman or noljudy " was the stereotyped theme
of Greeley's crafty pen and was daily dinned in
the ears of his party leaders", while the lesser
liiit- of the republican editorial craft sent forth
feeble echoes of " Sherman or nobody."' Well,
Sherman they did not get, an 1 I, presume the man
Pennington whom they did, must be classed un
der the head of a " nobody." Politically and in
tellectually the classification seems quite appro
priate, notwithstanding the pretty speech he de
livered on taking the chair a speech evidently
carefully prepared and conned over two or three
days previous to his election. Tho termination
of this contest is a blessing indeed to the j resi
dents of this city. The hotel tables in the scarci
ty and inferiority of their bills of fare, were be
ginning to be a sclent reproach to the hungry
boarders and created a sickening suspicion of .un
paid bills and a moneyless landlord M. C's,
cotractors, and others with little claims agaiut the
Treasury which could only be forthcoming " after
the election of a Speaker," were holding daily
levees from G to 8 P. M., their guests being prin
cipally " ninth part of a man," a son of St Cris
pin, and the agent of a Dutch washerwoman, all
looking extremely ' dejected, while the anxious
inquiry would drop from their lips. " Well, do
you think they will elleet a Speaker to-morrpw ? '
The money chests of the Banks were nearly ex
hausted, merchants selling or trying to sell
below cost-T-notes protested, and even iii the
trifling matter of imbibing " for the stomach's
sake," the saloon keepers had grown surly and
scanned a sf ranger as though he 1 wished before
furnishing the liquid to inquire, " are you a mem
ber of Congress and are you going to ask that
this may be charged". The agony is over,! how
ever, and the precious yellow dross is again cir
culating freely. r . "!.-',
.Before this conies to hand you will have learn
ed that the miserable Forney has been elected
Clerk of the House and '.Hoffman ' of Maryland,
Sergeant at Arms. In these two elections we
discover the price of treachery - Hickman and
others of Pennsylvania, receive their thirty pieces
of silver through Forney ; Henry Winter Davis,
the Southern taitor. pockets his through HofF
man'; as for the ignorant John 13. Haskins, of N.
Y., the mole eyed tool of these viperous fanatics,
his compensation will be, probably the. undisguised-contempt
of those he so blindly served. In
the Republican daucus of Saturday last, jt was
agreed to support Mr. Marston of N. II., for Door
keeper and ex-Goverlior Ford of Ohio for Post
master. It is not, certainly known who their nom
inee, will be for Public Printer, but it is rumor
ed, they-have determined on presenting a Mr
Durfre. " '
Forney has put in motion the guillotine. J.
W. Jones of Ohio has received a Clerkship in his
office and Nathan Sargent, of Penn. has been ap
pointed Librarian. j
The city is alive- with patriots from a distance,
most anxious to serve their suffering country, and
the strong pressure onthe claims of gentlemen ,so
long denied access to the public crib, will be cer
tain to insure a'ciean sweep out of the present in
cumbents j j
John Minor Botts of Va , is here looking after
his political interests. . The Hon. John has been
politically defunct for several years dead long
since and buried ; his friends even insist bn the
truth of this, but John won't believe it and per
sists in declaring he is still alive. In support of
this statement he is coquetting with the republi
cans, exhibiting his withered charms as though
they Avere in the. firs bfash of beauty. ! Hon.
Wm A. Graham, of N, C. and quite a nunjber of
other old line whigs are here with a view it is
rumored of talking counsel as to w hat course they
shall pursue in the coming Presidential contest
Crittenden is the prime mover in this matter, and
if he has no better success in this attempt at for
ming a party than lie tiad in organizing '
phs p,ntr,." whivh gave birth only: to a few trai
tors from Pennsylvania, he had better eschew pol
ities forever. j
Now that the House is organized the work of
scheming, planning and intrigueing w ith- refer
ence to the Charleston Convention, will absorb
the attention of politicians at this point. The
friends of Judge Douglas are laboring with
shrewdness and hearty good will, and the indica
tions now seem to favor his nomination as Pres
ident. Hunter's prospects are growing dim in the
South but brightening up in the North; It is
averred that Virginia will not give him her vote
and that her preference is stronger for Wise than
for Hunter. Dickinson's friends seem quiet and
Lane's friends are not advancing his interests to
the extent ot the facilities afforded them, j Doug
las has the inside track and hisboldness, added
to the tact, ability and sleepless energy of his
friends appears; almost, to have paralyzed! the ef
fotts of the supporters of other aspirants tor the
nomination. What, do the people think of being
regarded as mere chessmen.on the political board
to be moved at will by wire-pullers who deter
mine at this point who sliall be their nominee for
President ? Queer is'n't it, that a few politicians
in Washington can shape the action of a National
Convention and lead the delegates from the dif
ferent States to tread unconciously in the path
marked out in advance; so it is however but too
often. . All kinds of appliances are being used by
the friends of Douglas to secure his election. I
have reasons to believe that three or four promi
nent gentlemen, from so many different States have
been given to understand that in the event of
their respective States casting their vote for the
Judge, that the nomination as Vice-President
w ould follow. Somebody will be cheated here ;
that is pretty certain.
Enough of politics In the way of amusements
w e have beeu literally surfeited ; balls; parties,
the opera, concerts, lectures, and the menagerie
in the souh w iug of the Capitol have afforded a
variety to suit all tastes. This weak we have the
r rer.ch Opera. Comiqe and Dramatic representa
tions, to be followed by Strakoseh's Italian Ope
ra. The Cooper English Opera companS' which
has been performing here for several nights is a
ttcble concern. .The Prima Domo, Annie Milner
is a pretty faced blonde possessing a sweet sopra
no voice, but she is a pool actress and her cart
; riife on the ttage ungraceful and awkward. The
rest of the tronpe. as performers, are beneath criti
cism. Perhaps the most novel entertainment of
fered our citizens this season, was the lecture of
Lola Moutez, (Countess of Lansdfeldt.) Her per
sonal appearance, by gas-light, is far different to
what I expected. I looked for a bold masculine
woman, andjsaw a modest looking fetnenine one,
with dark grey eyes in whose' depths I imagined
I discovered," a lurking devil;" hair short and
prettily, but carelessly arranged, and a form slen
der flexile and graceful. She wore a rich black
velvet dress, cut high in the neck (sensible Lo
la!) where it was met by a plain circle of lace, (is
that righU) The subject of her lecture was
" Fashion," a theme which affordtd fine scope for
a display of her acknowledged ability as a sa
tirist. Her denunciation of low-necked dresses
was severe, declaring that the fashion originated
with a dissipated, dissolute queen and was now
adopted only by vulgar peopl and 'dissolute wo
men to display their charms and advertise their
calling.. Hoop-skirts she approved and urged that
a regard for health should induce the ladies to
continue their use, Ahem ! Then she thought
proper to say a little about 'us. The tight panta
ioons lately in vogue were unmercifully ridiculed,
and our penchant for discussing Italian Optra,"
and criticising the'fema'ie artistes, was well, I
will not repeat anything ridiculing my on sex.
I must close by giving you verbatim ct literatim
a letter written by one of the." sovereigns" to his
Congressional Representative. Here it is: :

Correspondence of the Daily Progress. !
Salisbury, Feb 5th, 1 60.
Editor of the Progress : -The other day as I
sat in my apartment gazing out upon the Laden
clouds that overhung the sky, and musing upon
melancholy things, I heard a little girl exclaim:
"A bird ! a sweet little birdie has come, Mama, to
pick the crumbs from the window sill." Her
own little hand had scattered them there with no
other purpose save the restless ever do something
spirit of childhood. A glad smile broke on her
innocent features as she gazed upon the sweet
creature as with merry twittering movements it
picked w ith its tiny bill noislessly one by one tile
crumbs from the window, then with a joyous mo
tion rapidly whirled its little form through the
cold piercing February air to its sheltering wood,
Something like a shade of regret fell upon the
child's face; her '-short lived pleasure was gone;
the bird had flown. With a disappointed look she
turned with tha,t instinct peculiar to childhood in
search of other pleasures, at once innocent, pure
and heartfelt. This to many inky seem a vey
trivial incident, but to my mind it was as the
camera reflecting images of the past. It set the
kalaidaiscope of memory in busy motion and
rapidly scene after scene passed in review. Years
were annihilated, and again as in childhood's days
I watched the sweet birds, the moving array of
clouds that always seemed to our child's fancy as
mightv. armies niarsiraliing for combat. The
dancing waters minoring the beautious face of
nature and bathing the gentle flowerets that dipp
ed their tender petals to the cooling stream seem
ing ever as the Nerieds of old, or the water spirits,
of which I delighted to , read. Oft when seated
in some quiet spot neath the overshadowing
branches of a favorite tree, and looking up with
childish love in our soul to the blue sky above,
and listening to the rustle of the leaves stirred by
the gentle zephyrs making music ; I have won
dered if the vast overwhelming space was not
the home of those bright winged beings God's
book told us of; and .if the leaf music and low
breathing zephyrs were not the wavings of their
glorious wings as they moved through trackless
ether. At night restless with thought as we lay
sleepless upon our couch gazing out on the bright
stars that gemed that beautiful world of space,
and the soft silvery moonbeams that floated in"
shining showers to earth ; we fancied the stars
were celestial eyes, and the moonbeams bright
glances sent from those eyes commissioned to
watch over earth's sleepers. Even now this child
fancy steals over me in the still moonlight and 1
delight to feel that such guardians are near, that
heavenly wings are around and angel eyes watch
ing over my loved ones. When I arose early in
the balmy morn to look upon nature in its fresh
ness, and beheld the shining dewdrops sparkling
like diamonds upon tha- flowers my imagination
viewed them as tear drops of angels, and the;
question arose in my mind, did angels weep to
water the flowers? HolyVbeings I knew they
were and did not shed such tears as sinful mor
tals. Of all the floral creation the moss rose par
ticularly elicited my childish love. I had heard
or read somewhere the beautiful fancy that it once
sheltered an angel visitant to earth, aud I loved;
to think that celestial beings gave the youngbuds
their beautiful covering of soft green moss in
gratitude, to shelter . them from the scorching
sunlight. I sometimes think if we would oftener
return in heart and memory to childhood's halcy
on days there would be many happier and better
men and women in the world. More of the milk
of human kindness, more genial good nature, more
of the pure gold of charity, and less of the iron of
selfishness, j We should be more like the great
God in whose image we were made and the world
nearer akin to that beauteous Eden which erring
man long since forfeited. We should know no
onnressor frrindinsr with iron heel and indomita
ble will the lowly helpless sons and daughters of
.i . . . . . j
mat stern sire, poverty. ro pampereu ansiocrai
would walk Jour streets with patrician steps gath
ering up the folds of his p.nple to prevent con
tamination from the beggar's rags. We should
not see humble genius despised and lowly merit
neglected because the hearts of their possessors
are larger, but unfortunately their purses are
smaller than; the money tyrants. We should see
those from. the hedges and highways of life bid
den to1 feasts instead of the world's "dubbed gen
tlemau" who maiches through fashion and luxu
ry's halls tj the enrapturing gingle of the dollars.
Brother would not be seen in hostile array against
brother; settional differences and party efuds
would not threaten destruction to the peace and
happiness of fair lands.
If the ruling spirits of onr own beloved country
would return in memory to the days when with
childish enthusiasm and ardent interest they list
ened to the legends from their fathers of the
times that tried men's souls, think you they
would ligtly talk of dissolution ; would they rath
er not shrink with fear and trembling; even with
awe, from severing: one link in the glorious chain
of confederacy 1 Would not the thought be tor
ture that the noble old eagle our 'Aegis that has
so long perched ttpon our flag staff should plume
his wings for flight, and away on some distant cliff
sit in sullen silence, yea, despair, watching with
a burning1 eve the strife, confusion, aye, the awful
darkness, the terrible crash of all that's glorious
and grand, the pride of nations, the world's re
nowned. Liberty's stupendous temple. The
"land of the free and home of the Arave the
destruction of all that is fair and beaptiful among
the nations of the earth. Oh! will nt Americans
by all the pure and holy associations childhood,
by the noble blood poured on Northern hills and
Southern plains, rally around our glorious Con
stitution and preserve it from the danger impend
ing over it? Raise high above it the victorious
stars and stripes and cry dishonor and a treachery
worse than' an Arnold s, or Burr's, in the! mad be
ings who dare talk of dissolution, t"
Doubtless, Mr. Editor, you think my manner
strange Jand wild. Recent transactions have
stirred the heart's depths, and somehow the wish
that I was a child again has arisen in mv heart,
for then in the place of sorrow there would be joy
ousness,' instead ot regret there would be pleasure,
instead of dissolution's dark clouds I should be
hold the watch-fires of freedom burning brightly
on our country's altars Childhood ! Through thy
magic prism life's shades are all color de rose T

HoRiMRi.E MURDER. A- Master Killed and
Burned by his Slaces.- On Monday last Dr. i Win.
Cioxton, h highly intelligent citizen of Essex
county, Va.,! had occasion to correct a servant wo
man for some ffense, but did so in a mild and
gentle manner. This fact enraged a negro man,
w ho vowed to have revenge, but at the time gave
his master no intimation of his intention. On
Wednesday last, whilst one of the servants was
engaged in grinding a cutting knife, Dr. Croxton
walked, to. where he was, and whilst looking on,
without suspecting danger, another servant step
ped behind him, gave him a violent blow upon
the back of the head, which felled him to the
ground, and then dispatched' him.. ! The two then
dragged him behind the bant, and.kindling a fire
placed his body on it and burned it They next
cut the skirts of the saddle upon his riding horse
and then turned the horse loose, iexpecting to cre
ate the impression that he had been attacked on
the road and murdered. When the doctor was
missing, his friends instituted a search for him,
and in the pile of ashes near the barn discovered
two or three of his fingers and a portion of one of
his feet. .The - murder has caused great excite
