"Be just and fcar not," &c should have been credited to Shakes peare not to Addison imless, indeed, Addison wrote Shakespeare, which we do not believe. The error was one of tliose lapses that happen in the 1 " best ojf families, and was not the fault of the torn jositor. "Whenever a good thing occurs to our , mind, the name of Addison will always press in to compete for the authorshlp,be being ono of the best and purest writers of our language, in our es- tlmation. ' Shakespeare can spare a great many " sentences, however, and till be the matchless and preeminent ? ." I'j ELECTION PAY.

This is not the season to get up : " the steam, and the politicians, and the newspa- pers have rather up bill work. They pile log af- tef loir tinnn ' the fire : but' the boilers are lea- b -r . - y ky, the machinery all out of order, and the ship will not go ahead. ,Tbey do not seem to under . : stand that all the military enthusiasm that has ever been generated in this country, bas beon preeeded by some political, social, financial, or popular movement, that stimulated it into actlvi. tv. Hut more nag neen jtouiinz or tnis bum to . op:rate now upon the national pulse. The coun - try was never so prosperons, and the military en , - lhusiasm is confined to the politicians of both parties. -It is far easier, just now, to get up an excitement about codfish, than about the military fame of Scott, or the private character of Picroe. Itis easier, even, to get up tho steam about - steamboat accident,1 or the breaking down of ' furry bridge' and it seems only the outsidors who mingle in those .political assemblages, are pick pockets, drunken rowdies, and thieves of all des crintions.4 What a curious phenomenon itis, to 4 sse" the thieves and drunkards collected togethor At Niagara Fallsr, by the Malno Liquor law advo- , catea.'' 'Va'' V . In reference to tho Pittsburg Convention, (ho Editor remarks ,vv ; ' ' The agitation of tho slavery question is to be revived Upon an independent organization, which will soon develops the extent of its power. W. II. Seward and his (onfrert have not been labor- ing for the last twmty-five yuars, to create an anti-slavery scntimeiit in the North, Tor nothing. ' The seedi which i tiiey bave sown have taken deep root, and are reading upon every side. The arch agitator himself, discovers that be has given a momentum to the ball which be cannot himself check, to sui( hi dark, stealthy and insidious pol icy., The sentiment which he has been fomenting and using, as a demagogue, Las become a religious belief with many of. his sincere followers, and they cannot be 'satisfied with tien. Scott by merely l 'spitting in tho Whig platform. 8oitmay be to some extent with tho Tan Buren Buffalo plat form democrats of 1818; bnt not being so deeply infected with the leprosy, they have been mostly . ; healed by the compromise democratic nominations of "6! ;'-'';jV;V ' There is every reason, then, to apprehend, espe cially in connection with the Webster defection that this PHt8burg movpment, from the successful efforts of Seward and eompany to impregnate tho whig party of tlia North wjth abolitionism, and all tho other abominations of the day, will result in the loss to Scott of Ohio, and New York, and Massachusetts, and Pennsylvania. Should this to the result, then we may look for the merging of the Northern whig party into the genoral con : u!iJ6tcd abolition party of tho North. On tho 'Jior band, should Scott be successful, Seward is cccssfui, So that In any event beholds tho whig : ::inee of power J forj n the defeat of Scott ho ' but to throw ofi his mask, and como out in n and nudisgnlsed bostiltty to the whigs of tho b mi the institutions of the South. : 1 1, therefore, nd longer a matter of surprise t L ,ur J and bis organs should stick to the , j t lUiIiJato, wbila they ;"cxecrate and spit' v?on ! .is Jatform J Jt Is no longer a matter of v tm kr that they should hesitate to go over to "o JHwbnrg platform, constructed just to their I :.sps, from top to bottom, because, whatever the , t if the election, tho fate. of the Northern ' -Tarlylsin Seward's band. Irrt h; : r -.i;. 'f ato a formidable gathering at. Pitts- 1 tiiat tho result will be the controlling f po v cr in tli election, ono way or (ho other. : We can form no deculve opinion snort oi the action of that convestlonj but we confess, with great regret, that the whole aspect of things present a most gloomy prospect for tho success of the whig party, with this third party in the field. We shall see bow it will come out i r ' KOSSUTH AND ITIS LANDLADY. . Tho Orurier and Enquirer makes the followlng statement concerning the last movements of Kos suth before be left for England. Kossuth bad cause to be published in bis most respected organ that he was to embark on Satur day, the 17th inst. At bis boarding house ho stated that he should go to Jersey City on the Wednesday preceding, and remain there until bis embarkation. On the forenoon of the Utter day, bis baggage having been got in readiness, bis.bill, amounting to abost $150, of which $100 was for regular board and the remainder for a large num ber of meals and other refreshments furnished to his visiters at his request was presented to his iMjer-domo companion Haijnik. Conferences were thereupon bad by the latter with Kossuth, who was in an adjacent room and the payment of the face of the bill was refused. Eighty dollars were first offered by Haijnik as a settlement ; after wards ninety, sod lastly a hundred. The last of fer was accompauiod with the alternative, "take that or go to court." The landladlady protested, just as she ought to have done, indignantly) but, the baggage being at the door and about to be driven away, she received the hundred dollars in tho apprehension that she would otherwise get nothing, and with the purpose to take steps which would secure the remainder of dues before Kos suth should leave Jersey City. We are no friend of Kossuth, nor bis mission, but we shall be very glad to see the above suc cessfully contradicted. We believed him to be an impostor on a large scalo, and events confirmed our belief but we did not expect to find any thing so detestably mean as tho above represents him. If it be true, landlords and landladies should keep a sharp cyo upon silver spoons and other valu able moveables, when Kossuth and his suit aro about tho house. Shakespeare has St that "great rocn chooso greater sins." But here is a great roan whose conduct belies tho doctrine of tho Poet. We repeat that we shall be glad to learn that tho story of his meanness is falso but we arc fearful that it is true. Oh, shocking! says one the Editor of The Commercial indicates the belief that Kossuth would steal a silver spoon I No we do not say that we call that back, if such is tho lawful in ferencebut we are ready to aver, "to the best of our knowledge and belief," that he would steal a gold one, if ho has acted as the account says he has. xcs u ne woum cueat ana wrong a wo man out of her just duos, for bread and meat and lodging &c., &c, he would pounce upon a gold spoon as quick as a duck would upon a June-bug, and with just as little compunction. RAIL ROAD MEETING. A public meeting was held at tho Court-house in Lenoir on the 20th July, 1862, to appoint Dele gates to represent the County of Caldwell in the Rail Road Convention to be held in Morganton. The meeting was organized by appointing R. B. Bogle, Esq., Chairman, and J. G . Ballew, Secretary. The following Resolutions were offered by W. W. Lenoir: "Resolved, That the State of North Carolina, hav ing taken two-thirds of the Stock In the Central Rail Road, is now bound, in justice to the Eastern and Western portions of the State, to take two thirds of tho Stock necessary to continuo said Road to the sea-board and to the Tennessee lino. Resolved, That the route for tho Western con tinuation of the Central Rail Road, ought to bo left open, to be determined by actual surveys and estimates of engineers, subscriptions of Stock in and out of the State, and such other considera tions as will show the practical wisdom ot the route flnall effected. A proposition having been made by a meeting at Asheville to limit the extension of tho Central Road by Ashevillo and the French Broad, a Pre amble and Resolutions wore adopted objecting thereto, declaring that the route alopg the valley of John's River and tho Watauga, crossing the Blue Ridge at tho John's River Cap, is cheaper, raoro practicable, more direct in its connections with the Rail Road systems of South Carolina, Tennessee, and Western Virginia, and more in har mony with the interests of those systems, as well as with tho interests of our own Rail Road. But while advocating the claims of tho Watauga route, the meeting exprossed approbation of any exten sion of tho Central Rail Road, secured by fair and impartial legislation. AGRICULTURAL SOCIETY. An Agriculturist Society or Farmers' Club lias been formed in Rowan county, and held their first mceling at Mineral Spring, on tho 23d of last month. The Society was organized by tho ap pointment of Maj. Otho Gillespie, President, Dr. Sam'l. Rankin, and P. B. Chambers, Vice Presi dents, and Dr. John F. Foard and John G. Flem ing Secretaries. Auot tier meeting is to be Held on Monday next, which will be addressed by Dr. S. D. Rankin, Dr. D. B. and A. J. Fleming, Esq. THE FISHLV'Q DIFFICULTIES. Despatches were received at Washington on Wednesday night week, from Mr. Webster, con taining assurance! that the fishery difficulties would be promptly and satisfactorily settled. The British pretensions go no farther than to that por tion of tho fishing grounds where the British jur isdiction is undisputed. A despatch to the New York Ueraid, dated Washington, July 29, says: Mr. Webster has sent Mr. Andrews, U. S. Con sul at St. John, as a special messenger, to the scene of the fishing difficulties. The President, however, has also sent a special messenger there, with, it is believed, somewhat different instruc tions. Mr. Andrews was yesterday at Eastport, Me., on the Bay of Fundy. In the best informed circles here nothing serious is apprehended as likely to grow out of the matter. CORRESPONDENCE Of THE COMMERCIAL. PiTTSBoao', July 29, 1862. Taos. Loriro, Esq., My Dear Sin Almost ever since you left I have been suffering under sickness which has pre vented my writing yon this line before. We bad quite a warm discussion, and I thought at one timo the prospect was very bad, but the clouds all cleared off and the best spirit and feel ing prevailed. They concluded to dispense with the services of Mr. Smith, not from any fault in the world that was found with him, for he is emi nently a working man iu his profession, but from considerations of economy and for the sme rea son to retain Col. Thompson as consulting Engi neer, at a salary of $1,500. The san Directory were appointed, with the exception of Thos. Bill. Ho nominatod Col. Henry Elliot who was elected by acclamation ho is an effitient man, and will make a good director, In regard to the ways nd means, it was propo sed that private individuals raise and loan the Company $60,000 for the work. Gentlemen came forward and at once bound themselves to raise 30,000. It was said Wilmington would do the balance Messrs. F. J. Hill, Hugh Waddell, Hon ry Nutt. A. J. DeRossot, jr., A. 8. McNeill, John H. Haughton and Col. Henry Elliott, were appoin ted a committee to memorialize (ho Legislature. Tbo next meeting of the Stockholders is to be held at Tersey, in Cumberland, on the 3d Wed nesday in July, 1863. The work will now go on. Truly, ftc, J. J. JACKSON. McMANNEN'S SMUT MACHINE. Messrs. Tboinason and Rice, the present occu piers of the Correl) Mills, in the upper part of this County, have sent us a specimen of the work done by the McMannen Smut Macuine now in opera tion in their mills. It is perfect ; grain that Is en tirely unfit for any thing unless to feed to poultry, is brought out clean, and as fair as if it had been washed a dozen times. These gentlemen and their neighbors, being so well pleased with the op eration of this Machine, have voluntarily signed a recommendation setting forth its superiority, which others wishing to see, may do so by calling at this office. Sdiibury Watchman. , A SUBMARINE ROCKET.' A mechanic of Charlestown, Mass., Mr. W. O. Stone, bas invented what be calls a submarine rocket, or an infernal machine, for blowing up vessels of war. The rocket is made on the samcr general plan of a common air rocket.' It lias a weight attached for sinking it, and a float to buoy it up. A fusee la placed in the extremity of the rocket, by means of which. It is driven through the water, as the common rocket is through the air. The head of the rocket la furnished with a supply of gunpowder, in the centre of which is a bottle of sulphuric acid, and a quantity of chic-, rate of potassa and loaf sugar to explode the powder, when It strikes the bottom of an enemy's ship. The inventor has made numerous and sat isfactory experiments on a small scalo, and now asks some public spirited individuals to furnish him with the means to make a rqore full experi ment on a large scale. An articlo in the London News contains the fol lowing happy picture of Mr. Clay in debate: " Henry Clays's reported speeches partake of tho neutrality of which ho ever boasted in the compromises which were the principles of his statesmanship. It needed to see the moistened eye, the, quivering lip, the tremulous hands, play ing with the spectacles, Vf"tho movements of the tall lithe figure; it needed to hear the wondorful variety of his tones, and to have thrilled to the exquisite pathos of his voice, to understand the power which he exercised over the whole mind of those who listened to him in a silence which seemed as if it could never be broken. The si lence has changed sides now. It is he who is mute, whilo overy other voice is busy in discuss ing his powers and his dt eds." ARRIVAL OF THE GOV. DUDLEY. Charleston, August 3. The steamer Gov. Dud ley, Capt. Bates, arrived at her wharf, in this city, from Wilmington, (N. C.) shortly before 12 o'clock, last nieht, bringing tbo mails and passengers through from Now York, in somewhat loss than fifty-two hours. Tho Qov. Dudley maintains her reputation as a very fast boat, and is a valuable auxiliary to the admirably conducted Rail Roads on the route be. tweeu Wilmington and New York. The following are tho names of her passengers : Messrs. Do Lyon, Henderson, Miller, Jackson, Adams, C. Doughertry, W. Watson, Mr. Kiikland, W. W. Leman, Park, Voorhies, Rev. Mr. Murphy. Courier. ABOLITION FIXATION. The New York Herald gives us somo character istic details of tho manners of the abolitionists. They do not stick up to tho old adago of "honor among thieves," as appears from the following: Gurritt 8mith, after advancing $10,000 for the ball ($19,000 In all,) of, Chaplin, in Maryland and 2,000 of the $6,000, for his bail in Washing ton, sets it down as a clear case of robbery on the part of the abolitionists, who havo failed to in demnify his advances. This is proof positlvo that these same abolitionists aro a pack of thieves. In tho matter of Chaplin, he was their agent in steal ing off sevoial slaves from Washington, tho prop erty of Messrs, Toombs and Stephens, of Georgia ; and next they rob Oorritt Smith of bis money. In that knavish set, Smith is evidently more of a fool than a knave ; and 'U fool and his money aro soon parted." STEAM BOAT DISASTER. By the steamboat disasters of the present year, or a little over six months past, 428 lives have been lost, and 100 persons more or less injured. The number lost by the disaster to the Pltser, Mil ler, and Glencoe, are not included in the above but if added would make but little loss than 600 L human beings destroyed In the short time named. This is a frightful comment on the carelessness, Incompetency , and recklessness of those hiving tho charge and management of stcamboatl ORIGIN OF THE CHOLERA. At a reoent religious meeting held at Bxcter Hall, in London, a gentleman of authority stated the undeniable fact that the tax levied upon salt by Warren Hastings, during his tyrannical rule in India, was the cause of the Asiatic cholera a disease that has spread its poisonous, putrid breath over the world, and sent millions to the grave, ine cuoiera was unicnown oeiore we pe riod alluded to, and made its appearance immedi ately following the edict which deprived the lower castes of Hindoos of a healthful Ingredient in their food. SECRETARY OF THE NAVY. The Frederick (Md.) Examiner notices the ap pointment of Mr. Kennedy as Secretary of tho Navy, and thus speaks the feelings of the Whigs of Maryland: "We announce the success of Mr. Kennedy with pride and pleasure. Ho is one of Maryland's honored sons, and possesses talents and abilities that eminently qualify him for the distinguished post to which he bas been elevated, As a mem ber of the State Legisisture and of CoDgress, as well a? in the paths of literature and general science; ho has well earned distinction as a states man, scholar, and orator; and his constant and fearless devotion to Whig principles, the prospoii ty of the country and the union of the Slates are a guaranty that he will discharge tho trust reposed in him with wisdom, prudence, and pat riotism."

Mr. David Klutts, a few miles south of this place, lost a barn with its contents, comprising his whole crop of wheat and other articles of more or loss value. Mr. Daniol Eddlcman, a few miles distant from Mr. Klutts, also lost a barn, with all bis Wheat, Oats and Hay. Mr. E.'s loss is estimated at $1000. Another Fire. Vfo havo just heard that Mr, juaumas giucs, oi oianiy, also lost a large new barn on Sunday afternoon last, by lightning. is quite a remarkable circumstance that three barns within a few miles of each other, should be des troyed by llghtnisg on the same day.
