c mm m ir n VOLUME XI NUMBER 34. WILMINGTON, N. C.4 TUESDAY MORNING, JUNE 3, 1856. WHOLE NUMBER 1289 &6 hi in i MISCELLANY. ELOPEMENT SEDUCTION ADULTERY. 7 Quite an excitement prevailed in the up per ward of Carbondale, Luzerne County, Pennsylvania, on Thursday m5rning-, 22l inst , in consequence of a married, man, named Wm-Silsbfe,' eloping with a beau tiful youir ijirl ;ifed only fourteen years, fhe lniijjrit-r of. ares-table mechanic of the First VV.ird The circumsirtnces art ofan agsrrtv.i led character, s we fint tfiem in the Crtrbondale Transcript Thii paper says: On Wednesday a fte moon, this sray lo- thario, Silsbee, hired a horse and. carriage irora Air. uurtee, pacsea up nis trunk and took it with him, stating' to his wife he would return in a day or two, drove round a few other streets, and, by agreement, took in a young female passenger who was wailing for him, and away they went en route tor Illinois, ioward dark they am Ted in Scrahton and sojourned with " mine host " Kressler, and registed their names as- Wm. Brown and lady. After supper they called for a room and retired for the Uight. In "the meantime, the father of the girl and the father of Silsbee's wife, learned of the sudden departure of the twain, and fearing all was not right, started about 8 o'clock, m pursuit of the fugitives, and ar riving in Scranton discovered their where abouts ; they then procured a warrant from Justice Pier, for the arrest of Silsbee, and proceeded to their room, where, by & little stratagem, they got failsbee to arise from his bed to open the door and to their con sternation and shame, in rushed the un welcome guests t and nothing but the just briI righteous veneration for the majesty of the law to punish the. faithless husband and foul seducer, prevented them from in flicting summary vengeance on the villain. The guilty pair were brought back to this city, the girl to the bosom of her af flicted parents, the man Silsbee before Al derman Pughs, who decided that be had no jurisdiction, as the offence charged was committed beyond the limits of the city. 1 ne prisoner was then taken before Lewis S. Waters, Esq., at DIakely, and after a fair and impartial hearing, was committed to the county jail in default of bail. Con stable WiUon accompanied the " nice young man and lodged him in the jail at Wilkes-tSarre, to await his trial at the next Court of Quarter Sessions, there to rumi nate over his folly and vice, and the untold but heartfelt pangs of a lovely and affec tionate wife, and the disgrace that he has heaped upon his family. FEARFULLY DIABOLICAL. The Baton Rouge Comet, of the 10th, is guilty of the following atrocious per petration : .Dreadful! Accident. A lady was walking along yesterday evening, near the corner of St. Maximiliorf and St. Napoleon ! streets at her heels fol lowed one of those choice little "itee things" of the canine family, made, it would seem, out of a remnant of the dog material in nature, after all other man ner of dogs were made and pronounced perfect. The Pug at the lady's heels aforesaid was a fine variety tail curled in the most elegant and graceful manner. Other dogs saw him as he passed, and thinking it might he an easy victory "barked at him." This was the signal for still other dogs, and presently about twenty came together in what is classi cally called "a row." The lady scream ed for the safety of her pet ; and well she might. The fact is, for a moment he could not be distinguished in the gen eral engagement, and the awful idea flashed across the lady's mind that per haps the bull belonging to " Jones," on St. Africa street, had swallowed him, and his beautiful form and features should never more delight her .eye. Be this as it may a crowd of twenty or more, men, small boys and women in cluded, came to the spot and all got ex cited together. The dogs retreated to one of those angles in the street leading into Royal Beauregard Square here they were somewhat huddled together some actively engaged in pulling off the larger dogs other persons holding oth ers' dogs by their continuations. The lady owner of the small Pug was hem med in and masked. Is it to be won dered at that she exploded? Not at all. The pressed in hoops of her petti coat gave way, scattering boys, dogs and men about in an awful and terrific man ner. Some were knocked as far as "Royal Beauregard," and others were found much mutilated in "Pete" alley. We cannot dwell on the spectacle pre sented when the dust of the battle set tled it can be better imagined. Suffice to say (we need not tell the ladies, for they know it j already, and here they may close their eyes,) the lady afore said was dressed in the fashion, and had nothing else on except a thin dress of Grenadine material the same kind of goods may be had at Philip's emporium of standard fashionable goods. MR. DALLAS. The latest numberof the European Times received in this country says : "We have mentioned the absence of Mr. Dallas, the American Minister, from the Mansion House. He dined the same even ing with the friends and subscribers to the Literary Fund, where he made the speech of the evening. ! The American Govern ment has frequently been represented at the Court of St James by very able men ; but we can call to mind no Minister of the (J. States who has won such general admira tion in this country in so short a time. The literary power and elegance of this gentleman's after-dinner addresses are per fect models in their way. They are so pointed and so terse, and marked with such an elevated tone, that they charm in the reading even more than they impress in the delivery. His allusion to the fact of the great Benjamin Franklin, his countryman, having been towards the close of the last century the President of this same Literary Fund Association, was only excelled in good taste by the reference to the English man who established in the United States kindred institution. " GEN CASS ON WALKER. In the Nicaritgiiiin tneeiing in New York, on Friday nighi, a letter was reml from Gen. Cass, endorsing the recognition of the Nicaraguan Government, and sav ing'- I am free to confess that the heroio ef fort of our countrymen in all Nicafagiiit excites my admiration, while it engages all my solicitU'Je I am not to be deterred from the expression of these feelings by sneers, or reproaches, or hard words. He who doesn't sympathise with such an en terprise has little in common with roe. The difficulties which Gen. Walker has encountered and overcome will place his name high on the roll of the distinguished men of his age. He has conciliated the people he went to aid, the government of which he makes part is performing its functions without opposition, and internal tranquility marks I he wisdom of its policy. That magnificent region, for which God had done so much and mail so little, needs soma renovating process, some transfusion by which new life may be imparted to it Our countr3,men will plant the seeds of our institutions, and God grant that ihey may grow up in an abundant harvest of in dustry, enterprise and prosperity. A new day, 1 hope, is opening upon the States of Central America. If we are true to our du ty they will suon be freed from all danger of European interference, and will have se curity in their own power against the am bitious designs of England far better than Clayton Bulwer treaties or any other dip lomatic machinery by which a spirit of ag gression is sought to be concealed till cir cumstances are ready for active operation. GOOD ADVICE TO APPRENTICES. When serving your apprenticeship you will have time and opportunity to stock your mind with useful information. The only way for a young man to prepare him self to study during his leisure hours First, be industrious in your business be frugal, be economical never complain that j'ou are obliged to work ; go to it with a lacrity and cheerfulness, ami it will be come a habit which will make you res pected and beloved by your master or em p'oytr; make it your business to see to and promote his interest ; by taking care of his, you will learn to take care of your own. Young men at the present day are too fond of getting rid of work. They seek for easy and lazy employments, and frequently turn out poor miserable vagabonds You must avoid all wishes to live without labor; la bor is a blessing instead of a curse; it makes your food, clothing, and every other thing necessary, and frees you from every temptation to be dishonrst. PROTEST Of DON MARCOLETA. New York, May 27. The citj- papers have been furnished with the official pro test of Don Marco'eta against the recogni tion of the new government of Nicaragua, dated May 17. He says he is wholly una ble .to discover the important and weighty reasons which caused the U. Stales gov ernment to abandon i s former position He quotes various extracts from Marcv's letters in opposition to the recognition, which he characterizrs as a most flasrant violation of d-ivne and human laws, and ; the encouragement and sure guarantee of fillibusterism in Nicaragua. He says he has addressed similar protests to all the diplomatic circle at Washington. A young gentleman who had just mar ried a little undersized beauty, says she would have been taller, but she is made of such precious materials, that nature could not afford it How full of sugar the honey moon makes one, don't it A year from now he'll be swearing about the house be cause bis "d il fool of a wife" has been cleaning the cook stove with his shoe brush.

GKO; tt FRENCH April "0. 10 " The Intellectual Vigor of a People is indicated by the 1 Character of itt Literature.'" I HE CRI IEHIojN ; , LirEKliiY AND IBITIC1L AVELKLY JilUBXAL, 16 pages, 4to. AS commenced nn the 3d of November, 1835, and has thus far received very general appro bation Anxious to extend its influence, and place it upon a substantial basis of support, the Publish er desires most earnestly to direct the attention oi the thinking public of America to its claims upon heir consideration. I'ne main feature of the CRITERION is its Re views of Curr-nt Literature In this department are given thorough and able criticisms of all the most important Books ss they are issued, pointing out their chief characteristi cs, and indicating their moral tendencies, thus keeping its readers informed of all new publications which deserve their attention. It also contains Copious Intelligence of Affairs in the Literary World, Gossip concerning Books and Writers, Announcements of contemplated Publications, and Lists of Neio Hooks issued in A wierica and Europe. The Drama, Music, Fine Arts, snd Science, also receive attention, and several columrs of carefully elected and agreeable mat er are given in each number. 1 n addition to the above there is a de partment of Miscellanea lor reading ofan enter taining character, cnrtfully selected from new books and the ablest reviews, and a weekly collec tion ol Notes and Queiies. which contains a great variety of curious and valuable information. It is confidently believed that a journal such as the CRITERION cannot fail to have a good effi cl upon our national literature, and I" some extent upon cur national character. It will be found es pecially valuable in directing the attention of youth to works of real excellence, and encouraging an ttppreciation for valuable reading, which is being rapidly destroyed by the circulation of superficial and sophistical books. To the reading man the literary intelligence atone mi'st render it very de bir.tble ; and to all who wish to promote an improve ment in taste, the encouragement of merit, and an uncompromising condemnation of vicious style, mock sentiment, and evil principles, such an enter prise cannot at least, should not be indifferent. To members of Historical, Literal y and Scienti fic Societies, Lyceums and Debating Clubs, the subjects discuxsed in this paper will at all times prove of peculiar interest, and it is the design of the editors to thoroughly canvass from time to lime those important philosophical que.- tlons which agitate all inquirina minda, correcting false theo ries, and encouraeing profitable investirra lion. The CRITERION is published at S3 per an num, payable yearly, half yeaily or quarterly in ad vance. Specimen copies supplied on application to the Publisher, CHARLES R.

A BOOK FOR EVERY SOUTHERN METHODIST Early in 1856, probably in the month of Febru ary, I expect to publish a new work to the partic ularfeatures of which I beg leave to call your at tention. The Annals of Southern Methodism, for 1855, will be a 12 mo volume of -not less than 360 pages, well printed, Irom stereotype plates, upon good paper. It will contain all available statistics in every department of the operations of the METHODIST EPISCOPAL CHURCH, SOtJTH. The design embraces the Plan of Episcopal visi tation; accounts of the sessions of all the Confer ences held in 155, the appointments, numbers, &.C; a summary of all reported revival, notices of the dedication of new Churches; reports df College Commencements, with all else connected with our educational movements; a resume of our Mission ary operations, embracing whatever seems of gene ral Interest in that department ; the movements of the Tract and Sunday School Societies; whatever appertains to our publishing interests, with an nouncements of all New Bcoks published by our Concern, or written by Southern Methodists; what the Church is doing for the instruction of Slaves Historical and Biographical Essays; interesting personal reminiscences; and a miscellany of im portant facts and incidents. THE " ANNALS." It isbelieved, will be a fair and full daguerreotype of the progressof Southern Methodism. It will occur to you at once, that if 1 have suc ceeded in preparing this Volume with any reasona ble amount of skill, it will not only be a very agree able book for present reading, but that every year will add to its value as showing the posture of Sou thern Methodism at this particular juncture ot its history. THIS DIGEST Will be specially valuable as a Book of reference. To whatever question of general in'erest may arise in regard to the events of 1S55, it is hoped that a satisfactory answer will be found in ihe Annals. While it isbelieved that lhs Ministers in our Church will desire copies as soon as i hey can be obtained, I have paid regard to the what I suppos ed the tastes of general readers. The older mem bers of the Church will find sketches that carry them back to their earlier compeers, as in this de partment 1 have not restricted myself to the histo ry of the year, but have collected whatever has ap peared durina the year, which, as history and biog raphy, preserves tlie memoirs of the olden time, and of the early men of Southern Methodism. The work will be published at One Dollar a copy. Those who subscribe in advance, shall receive the first copies issued from the press. A gold dollar pasted in a letter can be sent securely and is pref erable to bills of distant 'tanks. Those of the banks in North and South Carelinu will be as good as gold. In return a copy will be sent well wrapped and pre paid. My address ia Gold.-boro. N. C. CHARLES F. DEEMS. Dec. 29. 122-lm THE NORTH CAROLINA MUTUAL LIFE LNSIRAMECOMP'V, RALEIGH, N. C.

PROSPECTUS OP THE "SOUTHERN SENTINEL," A Democratic and JMisceUatuous Jovrnal, to be published' weekly, at Wilson, 2?. C. IMIE existing condition of political parties, and of pariizan strife, naturally suggests the estab lishing of such a journal as the "Southern Senti nel" propossj to become. The present, indeed, is a crisis in our political history, never witnessed be fore. The Constitution has bsen invaded ; the laws trampled and spat upon ; religious liberty assailed ; ballot boxes broken and burnt; the landmarks of our political ancestry partially effaced; the wis dom derived from a time-honored experience un seated; strange and questionable men have been pushed into high positions ; and fanaticism, unchai ned from its axe and its faggot piles in the North, is heardlb howl among ua in 'he South. These evils, so far as it humble abilities shall serve, THE SOUTHERN SENTINEL Will endeavor to arrest. It will endeavor to incul cate a reverence for the laws as they exist, and for the Constitution, as it has been interpreted by the wise men ot the past and by the Fathers of the Democratic faith. It will defend not only political but religious liberty, and will do battle against ev ery political heresy that may, appear, whethet hatched in caves or culverts, or open convention. The Sentinel will also, to relieve the monotony of politics, devote space to literary topics, original and selected, as well aa to miscellaneous subjects, which shallinciude Agricultural and the latest Com mercial intelligence. In brief, no efforts nor ex penses will be spared to make the Sentinel one of the most useful and efficient journals in the South. The first number of the Sentinel will be issued about the first of the next month, and sent to sub scribers at the rate of 92 per annum : 2 50 at the end of six months, and S3 at the end of the year. Discount made In behalf of clubs, who shall take five, ten or more copies. J. F. KEENAN, Editor. Jan. 17. 130-3t whiskey! C( BBLS. Rectified and Old Rye Whiskey, and JJ a general assortment of.

Gleets, Strictures, Seminal Weakness, Pains in the Loins, Constitutional Debility, Impotency, Weakness of the Back and Limbs, Allections ot the Kidneys, Palpitation of the Heart, Dysnepsia; Nervous Jrrilabi.ity, Disease of the Head, Throat Nose or Skin ; those terious and melancholy disor ders arising from the destructive habits of Vouth; which destroy both body and mind. Those teerei and solitary practices more fatal to (heir victims than the song of the Syrens to the mariners of Ulysses, blighting their most brilliant hopes or an ticipations, rendering marrisge, &c, impossible. YO ON U MEN. Especially, who have become the victims of Solita' ry Vice, that dreadful and destructive habit which, annually sweeps to an untimely grave thousands of young men of the most exalted talents and brilliant Intellect, who might otherwise have entranced lis tening Senates with the thunders of eloctience, or waked to ecetacy the livinglyfe, may call with fulj confidence. MARRIAGE. Married persons, or Young Men, contemplating marriage, being awareof Physical Weakness, Or ganic Debility Deformities, &c., should immedi ately consult Dr. J., and be restored to perfect health. , i who places himself underthecareoffor John ston may religiously confide in his honor as a ceni tleman, and confidently rely upon hisskill as a phy sician. 7 Da. Johnston is the only regularly Educated Physician advertising to cure Private Complaints. His remedies and treatment are entirely unknown toall others. Prepared from a life spent in the Great Hospitals of Europe and the Firet in ihrs Country, viz England, France, the Blocklcy ot Philadelphia, f-c, and a more extensive practice than any other physician in the world. His many wonderiul cures and most important Surgical Op erations is a sufficient guarantee to the afflicted. Those ibho wish to be speedily and effectually reliet ed,houldshun the numerous trJllng imposters, who only ruin their health, and apply to him. A CURE WARRANTED OR NO CHARGE. No Mercury or Nauseous Drugs Used. OFFICE, No. 7, SOUTH FREDERICK St., left hand side going from Baltimore street, a few doors from the corner. Fail not to observe hia name and number, for ignorant trifling importers, attracted by the reputation of Dr. Johnston, lusk near. DR. JOHNSTON. Memberof the Royal College of Surgeons, London i graduate from one of the most eminent Colleges of the United States, and the greater part'Jr whoso life has beenspent In the Hospitals of London, Par is, Philadelphia, and elsewhere, has ellected some of the most astonishing cures that were ever known. Many troubled with ringing in the ears and head vhen asleep, great nervousnsss, being alarmed st sudden sounds, and bashfuiness, with frequent blushing, attended sometimes with derangement of mind, were cured immediately. A CERTAIN DISEASE. When the misguided and imprudent vofary of pleasure finds he has imbibed the seeds of ihis painful disease, it too often happens that aniil-tim-ed sense of shame, or dread of discovery, deters him from applying to those who, lrom education and respectability, can alone befriend him, delay ing till the constitutional symptoms of this horrid disease make their uppearance. such as ulcerated sore throat, diseased nose, noc'tural pains in the head and limbs, dimness of eichl. deafness, node on the shin bones and arms, blotches on the head, face and extremities, progressing with frightful ra pidity, till al last the palute of the mouth or the bones of the nose fall in. and the victim of thi awful disease becomes a horrid object of commi seration, till death puts a period to his dreadful suf ferings, by sending him lo "that bourne front whence no traveller returns." To such therefore, Dr. Johnston pledges himself to preserve the most inviolable secrcfy; and, from his extensive prac tice in the first Hospitals of Europe and America, hecan confidently recommend a safe and speedy cure to'the unfortunate victim of this horrid di ease. It is a melancholy fact, that thousands fall victims to this dreadful complaint, owing to the un skilfulness of ignorant pretenders, who, by the use of that deadly poison, mercury, ruin the constitu tion, and either send the unfortunate auJerer to an untimely grave, or else make the residue of life mis erable. TA KE PA R TICULA R NO T1CE. Dt. J. addresses all those who haveinjured them selves by private and improper indulgences. These are some of the sad and melancholy ef fects, produced by eai.'y habits of youth, vizi Weakness of the Back and Limbs, Pains in the Head, Dimness of Sight, Loss of Muscular Pow er, Palpitation of the Heart, Dyspepsy. Nervous irritability Derangement ef the Digestive Func tions, General Debility, Symptoms of Consump tion, dec. Mentally. The fearful effects on the mind ar! much to be dreaded; Loss of Memory, Confusion of Ideas, Depression of Spirits, Evil Forebodings. Aversion of Society, Self Distrust, Love of Soli tude, Tiniidity.&c. are some of the evils produced. Thousands of persons of allages, can now judge what is the cause of their declining health. Los ing their vigor, becoming weak, pale ami emacia ted, have a singular appearance about the eyes, cough and symptoms of consumption. DR. JOHNSTON'S INVIGORATING REME DY FORORGANIC WEAKNESS. By this great and important remedy weakness of the organs are speedily cured and full vigor restored. Thousands of the most Nervous and Debiiitattd individuals who had lost all hope, have bet n imme diately relieved. All impediments to MARRIAGE Physical or Mental Disqualifications, Nervous Ir ritability Tremblings and Weakness, or exhaustion of the most fearful kind, speedily cured by Df Johnston. Young men who have injured themselves by a certain practice indulged in when alone a habit frequently learned from evil companions, or at school, the effects of which are nightly felt, even when asleep, and if not curcd renders marriage impossiblend destroys both mind and body, should apply immediately. : What a pity that a young man, the hops of his country, and the darling of his parents, should be snatched from all prospects and enjoyments of lite, by the consequences of deviating from the path f nature, and Indulging in a certain secret habit. Such persons, before contemplating MARRIAGE. Should reflect that a sound mind snd body are the most necessary requisites to promote connubial nappiness. inaf a, witnstut tnese. tnc journey through life becomes wear) pilgrimage; the pros pect hourly darken s to the view ; the hand becomes shadowed with despair and filled with the m'elan' choly reflection that the ha DDiness of another be comes bliahted with ourown.
