A NEW WORK.

|. We tender our thanks for a copy of new work,
under the title of the Lives, adventures, anecdotes,
anusemeuts and DOM habits Of the srAar-sE
TWINS: of the greatest wonders of the present
time being two perfectly formed persons, whose bod
les, by singular caprice of nature, are united to-
gether as one; by Hon. ]. n. Moreheid.'' The i'm
print of this work is, Raleigh, n. c. ;-l64s-
price, ten cents.
This work contains twenty -four pages, and is en-
bellished with several handsome engravings. One
engraving represents the residence of the Samese
Twins, Surry County, N. CO.; another the "Man-
sion House of the Twins, at Trap Hill, Wilkes
County, N. Co.; and the other represents the Twins,
Chang and Eng, with their wives, Adelaide and
Sarah.
We welcome Mr.. Moreheid into the circle of our
literary men; and in doing we hope we may be
allowed to say that this, the first product of his ge
MUS in the paths of literature, is credtable to
him it must be gratifying to his friends.
The style Is fine, vigorous, and elevated the lam
guage is happily chosen and is replete with fire and
beauty; while the narrative which is given of the
Twins, is not full and elaborate than it is
curate and interesting We regret lack Of space
for extracts, but we cannot refrain from presenting
the following very elegant description of the Man.
sion House of the Twins at Trap Hill
They were attracted to this spot by the purity
of the air, the salubrty of the climate and the rich
and beautiful mountain scenery, where, amid the ST.
ence and solitude of nature, they could enjoy that
retirement and tranquility which is much desired
by them; conscious too, that to some extent, they
would there be free from the scrutnizng gaze Of the
public eye.'' d
We commend this work to the attention of the
literary men of the State generally; and shall be
happy, at any time, to publish any notices which
may be taken of it by our friends. -

DEMOCRATS OF WAKE!

Go to the polls, and give one days labor to our
noble Rebuke all demagoguism and all at

Thompson for the Senate; and teach those Wings

they will not soon forget, by rallying one man for
Sims, Newsonl, and Jones. You can increase your
majorities, if you will. A few votes may turn the

BURKE IN THE FIELD,

On the 18th of last month the Democracy of Burke
had an enthusiastic Meeting at Morganton. Francis
p. Glass, Esq. presided, and Gen. c. M. Avery act

spending to the nominations of Cass and Butler,
and approving of the great principle of Equal Stuff
rage as advocated by Col. Reid, were adopted; and
the Meeting was eloquently addressed by w. w. Ave-
ry, Esq The proceedings shall appear in our next.
The right spirit is at work in Western Carolina.
Those {" brave old Volunteers" Lewis Cass and
William o, Butler, will receive an ardent support at
the hands of the Democracy of Western Carolina /;

ANOTHER RooRBACK BLOWN UP!

The Register of the 22d July publishes an article
headed indignation of the returned Volunteers"
the evident design of which is to affect the Admins
tration and the reputation of Gen. Butler. The story
is to the effect that meeting of the Baltimore and
Ohio Volunteers was held on board the steamer Ha-
mer at which with great unanimity, the Government
and General Butler were strongly censured by these
troops, because they sent home to be mustered
out of service, and on account of the alleged bad
accommodations furnished them their voyage from
Mexico. 1t is also stated that they passed Resou-
tions pledgng their support to Gen. Taylor for the
Presidency. The aOhOle story is false. The Rich
mond Enquirer quotes follows from the Baltimore
Sun: - 49, -r.
z. S. Since the above was in type, we have
received the Cincinnati Enquirer, which, on the au-
thorty of several of the officers and of the Ma
ryland Regiment, states that such meeting as IS
there described held board the steamer Homer
that vote was taken when 81 of them were present
and they stood 80 for Cass and 1 for Taylor-and
that the Enquirer had that there were not
more than four Taylor in the whole company, -
Thus is another Federal Roorback blown up. If
the Register should persist much longer in its game
of fasehood and misrepresentation it will lose caste
even with its own prejudiced hackers and friends.
We would advice the scrbblers for that sheet chow
many there are, who tell 7! to go it hereafter
little more 'moderately''-or they may, perhaps,
forfeit that high character smoderate'' - Wings,

'The advanced guard of the command having reach
