The passage of the WIlmot proviso by the House

the political chess board that Father Richie
did not anticipate, and will require close anayza

prise here.
The Taylor letter to the Independent Convention
still remains sealed book; and what is more sin
GUAR the true purpor of Its contents has not yet
leaked out, although it was read TO assemblage
of some fifty or more persons The general opin-
ion is, that it contains something not very credia
bic the patriotism and good intentions of his Pc
culiar fnends-hence their silence on the subject.
He has certainly thrown some of them into poll
tlcal pandemonium, for they must remain dead to
their old political associates and friends. There is
no resurre ction for them.
The North Carolina election to-day will open the

to explode; The pistol was charged with a Iaro
ball, which struck Mr.. b. on the right side, d
recily against the fourth rib, and afterwards Lodge
in the surrounding feshy parts. The rib Wa
broken, and one of its jagged ends was driven int
the lung, severely wouading and producing alarm
ing hemorrhage OF that organ.

ball; and succeeded by his surgical and medic,

ton. The wound, though OF such character !
to renderthe situation of the wounded man critica
is not necessarily fatal. DR.. Duflee is of oplnlor
that with reasonable cautiousness on the part {
his patient, his life may be saved The danger ,
