MISCELLANY.
MR. RAYNER.
We have cot afforded much apace to
Mr. RiTNKB.B atranga and unaccountable
. conduct during the presidential cumpaign;
nor do wi intend to do ao. Wa hate no
disposition to strike jibe fallen. Wa five
a few item, which bate been used by the
Standard in a controrerty with the Fayette
ville Observer.
'' Tha Philadelphia News of the 4ib No
ember a Fillmore paper- -distinctly
charges that Mr Rajner went to Phila
delphia to Maak it the American party to
. prostitute iuelf beforej and beneath the forme
of a sectional organization, and to ask its
members to vote for; an Elcctorial ticket,
, xckick has turn others on it but friends of John
C. Fremont. And the same paper adds
"Let h im go back to the State of North
'Carolina, if he dare, land tell the people
there that the object- of his mission iota
- Pennsjrlrania was to advise the American
party to a cohabitation with black RepiMvan
ism and Northern Sectionalism, whose cru
sade alma the ASSASSINS KNIFE AT
THE HEART OF NORTH-CAROLINA,
as of every other State south of Ma
eon and Dixon'a line."
And the Philadelphia News of the 10th
nst.,' contains the I following article, to
which we invite the 'particular attention of
our readers: j
MA Dome to Avoid Poi.nic.AX Rmpon
rsiBiLrrr. The Evening Bulletin of Satur
day contains a correspondence between
Reed, Millward & Company, a' d the Hon.
Kenneth Rajner, of North Carolina, which
deserves some attention, and to which we
.shall refer more at length to morrow. Un
willing to make comments upon it with
out uresentin? to our readers the corres
pondence itself, and being unable to do so
xma morning, we deter making any exten
ded remarks in relation to Mr. Kayner's
conduct in our City j on the Presidential
question. . .
We cannot refiain however, from say
ing, what the correspondence published ir
resistibly forces uponj our conviction, that
it cannot be regarded in any other light
than a dodge to escape or avoid tha res
ponsibility which all true Americans, who
understand the mischief he did to tha A
meriean cause, wilt necessarily attach to
his conduct while in this City. Mr. Ray
ner's letter le a labored effort to vindicate
his own singular and inexplicable course
here, and he seeks to do so by attempting
io impress the public mmd -with the belief,
that if the Union ticket which he advoca
ted had been successful, a portion of the
Electors thereon would have voted for Mr.
Fillmore; and that in this manner the e
lection would have been thrown into Con
gress a fact which Mr. Rayner knows
ery well not to be eo, and which no truth
ful and honorable Fremont man in this
community will pretend to endorse as true.
Every man, who knows anything, knows,
and no one better than Mr. Rayner, that
had be been successful in bis attempt to
secure the success of the union electorial
ticket, the whole number of electors on it, if
necessary to elect Col. Fremont, would
been given.
This is a fact well understood, and
not be gainsayed For who, then,
have
can
wss Mr. Rayner working so industriously.'
Not for Mr Fillmore but for Col Fremont
To secure tha election of the latter, was
the whole aim of those who co icocted the
Union Electoral Ticket, and to aid them
in carrying out the scheme, and thus se
cure Pennsylvania foi Fremont,Mr. Rayner
was brought here by'theui. Let him wrig
gle and twist as be may to shirk the res
ponsibility of it, he cannot escape from it.
He was not brought here to serve the cause
of Mr. Fillmore, but to aid in transfering
Mr. Fillmore's friends, unwittingly and
unknowingly to themselves, m such a man
ner as to elect Col.; Fremont. How he
played his part is well known. Neither
Greeley, Weed, nor Seward, nor ihe worst foe
the American party hag, could have more effecr
, tually aided to distract and divide, it than Mr.
Rayner. The Republican leaders, who
used Reed, Millward and Company as
their tools to bring htm here, knew iheir
man, and hie conduct . proved that they
wars not mistaken in him."
In addition to all ijiis, wa have the fol
lowing, (rein the Secretary of tha Musical
Fund Hall meeting m Philadelphia, show
ing that Mr. Fillmore's real friends there
were opposed to fusion and that they were
induced, by false representations, to take
part in thai meeting
, 'The meeting of Americans at the Mu
sical Fund Hall, on Saturday evening last,
which was addressed by Hon. Kenneth
t Rayner, of North Carolina, attracted very
' considerable attention. yesterday, in conse
quence of the reports; published of its pro
ceedings, it appears that Mr. Rayner, af
ter having made one fusion speech in Phil
adelphia, and having been announced for
another, regretted the position he bad ta
ken, and signified a disposition to go no
farther Jn the matter but on the contrary,
a disposition to make simply an Ameri
can speech. Under such circumstances,
and. with such an understanding, gentle
men, were induced to take part in the meet
ing who disapprove of the views expressed
by Mr. R in relation to our local politics.
We append the following card, from one
so situated, who acted as Secretary of the
meeting. Was the whole affair a concoc
tion and a deceit on the part of those who
: originated the meeting for the purpose of
Qtrapping tha Americans 1 An explana
tion is needed.
TO THE PUBLIC.
From the fact that I acted as Secretary
of the Musical Fuad Hall Meeting, on
Saturday evening, U haa been feported that
X favored tha Union) Electoral Ticket
Now to disabuse the minda of friends, on
his subject, I will SJ that 1 accepted the
appointment, because 1 understood from
Mr. Rayner, in the course of an interview,
which be bad with some straight-out friends
of Fillmore and Donelson, daring the af
ternoon, that he proposed in" his speech to
confine himself strictly to the discussion of
American principles, and not to allude to
differences hi our ciiy, excepting to cor
rect an unfair report of bis speech,, of Fri
day evening, which he alleged had appear
ed in the Morning Times. Hail Mr. Ray
ner given the slightest intimation that he
intended to favor the so-called Union Tick
et, had I learned that he came to Philadel
phia, at the invitation of Fremont leaders,
which I am now assured he did, my hum
ble name would never have been connec
led with the meeting in question.

I Philadelphia News Fillmore Paper.
FY em the Charleston Standard:
f FRIGHTFUL ACCIDENT.
Ai the down train from Columbia
was coming on to the city, oiTSalurday
the 15ih insL, and had passed Branch -ville
about uixie miles, one of the rails
gave way, and three of the passenger
cars, filled with passengers, were thrown
off, and serious, perhaps fatal injuries
were sustained by two at least of the
passengers.
s The rain, consisting of the engine,
baggage car and four passenger cars,
was passing on at full speed, when the
rail broke under. ihev eug.ne, anu the
three first passenger cars wern thrown
off and shattered into fragments ; but,
strnnge to say, the two last passed the
break and were stopped on the track
beyond the scene of the disaster. Oui
inlormnnt, who was in one of the cars
not thrown off, says the scene was most
frightful. The cars were thrown upon
their sides, the bottoms were broken out,
through which the passengers were
seen struggling; the ends were stove in,
and it seemed im(ossible that any could
have escaped uninjured,
i The promptest possible assistance
was rendered by thoss not involved in
the disaster, and the injuries were found
to have been less than could possibly
have been contemplated.
Mr. Oliver Ryan, one of the conduc
tors, son of Thomas Ryan, ot this city,
was standing on the platform, and when
the crash came, jumped off, hut falling.
the car fell on him, and he lay in thai
condition until the car could be forced
off; during the time his suffering was
intense, and the blood was forced from
his mouth and nose. He was brought
in to this city, however, and it is hoped
he may recover.
Mrs. Means, from Fairfield, was cut
in the face, and the iron railing to the
steps of the car, the point of which was
stove in, passed through her dress; but
she came on to the city, and it is thought
her injuries are not serious. Mr. Heriot,
the conductor, was cut on the head and
hands, and bruised badly, but continued,
notwithstanding his own suffering, to
make every assistance in his power to
others. A negro woman was crushed
badly, and was left at Snmmerville.
Ahout a dozen others were hurt, but
not dangeaously; and, as the cars were
badly shattered, nearly all suffered some
inconvenience from th disaster.
: Our informant says, thar, so frightful
was the appearance presented, that he
can scarcely realize the fact of an escape
without more fearful injuries. ReV. l)r.
Bachman was one of the passengers,
and when the passengers were all re
lieved and assembled, he offered up a
prayer for so providential a deliverance.
, The traiti was delayed for a consider
able time, and arrived in Charleston
about 8 o'clock last evening. The acci
dent occurred about twelve o'clock in
the day. The track was an old one,
but as the upper surfaee of the rail was
not broken, it could not have been seen
if attention had been specially directed
to it.
Among the painful scenes exhibited
was that a lady who, having her child
in her arms when the crash caine, threw
it out of the window. It fell among
some bushes, and wlin sought for was
found uninjured.
GALLANT BOYS.
About two weeks ago two sons of Mr.
J. S. Whilhoite, of Monterey, in Owen
county, Kentucky, one ten years old
and the other eight, rode their father's
horse to the Kentucky river to water.
The horse plunged hi and attempted to
swim across the river with both the boys
upon his hack When near the. middle
of the stream they tried to turn the Horse
back toward the other shore. This
made him capsize, and both the boys
slipped off into the water, and the horse
left them. As they slipped off the older
said to the younger, Hold on to me,
and I'll swim out with you." He did
hold on, and the other actually swam
ashore wjth him upon his back, drag
ging at the same time through the wa
ter a tin bucket which the younger had
strung by tha pail upon his arm. When
was a more remarkable feat ever ac
complished by a boy of ten years?
A S AM PATCH LEAP.
A short time since, as Mr. D. West was
passing the falls near South Troy .Vermont,
with a span of three year old colts and a
double wagon, his eolta took fright and
rushed down a steep bank 30 or 46 feet in
beigbt, through a urnee of underbueb, end
plunged headlong into the Missisqooi river.
Being freed from the wagon, they swam
into deep water, and one was carried over
tha falls.- T e height of the falls is estim
ated at rhfrty feet The colt was buried
beneath the spray, and it was supposed by
all that he was killed, but he w s soon die
covered ten or fifteen rods below the falls,
lodged against a ledge. He was taken
from the water an-i led up a steep bank
a task which "most horses ould nave (ail
ed to accomplish and sfely lodged in
the at.ible. Burlington Free Press.
COURTEOUS
The Montreal Herald, a paperjhat has
matched wiih much interest the progress
of the late Presidential Campaign, in hope
of the success of the Republican party, af
ter expressing its doubts as to the final re
sult, thus vents its displeasure upon its
whipped champion :
44 Should tht slare-holding oligarchy car
ry the day, all their enterprise, wealth and
property will not save the Free States from
contempt a naiiun of conquered dough
faces i the ''meanest of mankind. '
WITTY
Clergymen frequently administer
personal rebukes from the pulpit, The
best we can remernbr was that of an
Irish curate whos christian name , was
Joseph. He had been promised a living
by a member of the great Butler family
previous to his coming to the title and
the estates. The promise was not re
deemed; and, on the first opportunity
the curate had of preaching before the
powerlul nobleman, he sclei-ted for his
text the conclusion of the fortieth chap
ter of Genesis: "Yet did not the chief
butler remember Joseph, biit forgot him."
The Irish Joseph speedily1 obtained the
gut of u valuable living. -
H STY BURIALS.
Another warning against the too
common practice of hasty burials oc
euired in Sandusky county last week.
Daniel S'earns, Esq, who-had been ill
with fever for some time, to all appear
ance died on Friday afternoon; all the
arrangements were made, and the
friends and clergyman were assembled
to pay the last tiibnle of respect to the
supposed deceased, when the body ap
peared warm to the touch. Restora
tives were administered, and in a few
minutes the man, who had come so near
being buried alive, was setting up. He
is now in a fair way of recovery.

PROSPECTUS OF THE
" SOUTHERN SENTINEL,"
A Democratic end Miscellaneous Journal, to
be publish) d weekly, at Wilson, N. C
IM1K existing condition of political parties, and
of partizan strife, naturally suggests the estab
lishing of such a journal as the "fiiotilhern Senti
nel" nroposej to become. The present, indeed, is
a criis in our political history, never vt itnesscd be
fore. The Constitution haa been invaded : the lawe
trampled and spat upon ; religious liberty assailed ;
ballot boxes broken and burnt ; the landmarka of
our political ancestry partially effaced ; the wis
doni derived from a time-honored experience un
seated; strange and questionable m-n have been
puthcdXnto high petitions; and fanaticism, unchai
ned from Its axe and its faggot piles in the rvorth,
is heard to howl among us 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 reverence for the lawaaa they exist, sndfor
the t constitution, as tt haa been interpreted by the
wise men ol the past and by the Fa I hers of the
Democratic faith. It willdcfend not onlv political
but BEiioioos 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 alao. to relieve Ihe monotony
of politics, devote space to literary topics, original
and electd. as welt aa to miscellaneous subjects,
which shallinelude Agricultural and the latest Com
mercial intelligence. In brief.no efforts nor ex
penses will be spared to make the Sentinel ons of
ihe moat useful and efficient journals in the otuh.
The first nnnrber of the Sentinel will bs Issued
about the first of the next month, snd sent to sub
scrihersat the rate of t2 per annum: 92 60 at the
end of six months, and 93 at the end of the year.
Discount made in behalf of clubs, who shall take
five, ten or mors copies.
