THURSDAY MORNING, DECEMBER 6,

Political irsToRY.-I Col. James Gadsden's
late letter-to Gen. Houston he gives description
Of the political struggles for the Presidency in 1924
and lS2S. He claims therein that in 1921, Dir.
CoAtoun, Gens, Hayne and McDufie," and many
others, " rallied" in Gen. .Jackson's favor. This
was probably true>of Hayne and McDufie, but it
was not true of Mr.. Calhoun He did not support
Gen. jackson in that contest; but was himself gem
orally supported for Vice President by the friends
of.Mr. Adams. We have no less proof of this than
Mr. Calhoun's own statement, made in his pubHca-
ton in 1884, in which he said, speaking of the cleo.
ton Of 1928, 81 assumed perfectly neutral posi-
ton between General Jackson and Mr. Adams"
As bore perfectly friendly political and personal
RELATIONSHIP BOTH would have been very we'll salts
fed with the election of either"
In the same letter. Col. Gadsden speaks Of the
combinations against General Jackson in that can
vass, in which the "Crawiord men all took part. 4"
Generally we suppose the friends Of Mr.. Crawford,
who was candidate, did what they could for him
butin North Carolina; the combination was of jack
son, Calhoun and Adams men on one electoral
ticket, against Crawford.
These are not very important facts in themselves,
as relates to by-gone political struggles, but when
they are revived for the purpose of tracing political
combinations and events, at this day, to an origin
in these old quarels, II is worth while to examine
tue authenticity ofthe facts.

EXTRAORDINARY INvENTIoN.-A Mr.. Appold
has invented a remarkable machine, called the
Centrifugal Pump for draining marshes, etc,
and most Ingenious affair il is. You have heard
OF the turbine-a small box water-wheel, possess
sing extraordinary capabilities for work. Well, Mr..
ApPods model contains such wheel made OF tin,
a ltue thicker but no larger than half penny.
Ihls Is fitted at the bottom OF a square tube dipping
into a small cistern containing water, which may
represent lake. etc. The little wheel, being made
TO rotate with great velocity, throws up water IA
pldly INTO the tube above itself until 1t overows in
u continuous stream at the top, and the volume of
the stream is such as to deliver eight gallons per
minute and, on applying a nozzle, the stream is
driven to the distance OF twenty feet. This you
will say is marvellous effect from so apparently
insignificant a cause but wheel, about fifteen
inches in diameter, exhibited at the time will
deliver 1900 gallons per minute it requires to be
worked by engine of four horse power. Mr.
Appold has lately proposed to the engineer of the
Dutch Government to fix a similar wheel on the
Harlem Sea, now. in process Of being drained by
forty pumps driven by steam. A centrifugal pump
OF forty leet IN diameter would do more work thnn
all the others put together and would deliver so
the inventor asserts, 100000 per minute. With
such power at command, one would think we ought
never to hearof ships laundering sea- and the
emPtying and reclamation Of the Zuyder Zee re-
solves itself into bihty.-FOreign journal.
INUNDATIoN ON THE NILE.-Letters from Alex
andria, of the 18th Oct, say The Nile has reached
its highest water mark, viz twenty-five (Flemish)
ellis and eleven inches. AL danger of a general
inundatiOn seemed to be over, The works on the
Nile dam, on which ten thousand men were en-
gagged short time back, have been suspended on
account of the high rise Of the water. Many doubt
whether this gigantic undertaking. on which mil.
lions have already been expended, will ever he
completed it has produced, they say, very dan.

BURGLARY AND ARsoN.-The Mobile Tribune
of Tuesday says The dwelling house of C. W.
Dorrance, on the corner of st, Louis and Claiborne
streets, was entered last Saturday evening, while
the members of the family were at tea in a back
room. Three pieces of silver ware-a heavy chased
coffee urn, with tea and cream pots-were stolen
from the back parlor. They had the name Dor
rance engraved them. The burglar also set
fire 10 a pile of music which lay under the piano,
and then locked the door and carried away the key.
The fire was discovered after the room was in a
high blaze and e1tingpshed with some difficulty
The damage by fire is about $50; the loss Of the
plate is valued at $3.50 It is supposed that Thu
bold crime was committed by a negro.
&c Since the above was put in type, We learn tina
the stolen articles above enumerated have been To
stored to Mr.. Donance. They were found lynn
in the street, near the house."

sage, looking to armed preparations in the State
ltsays:
We think that the call for $4,000, "for the
purchase Of arms and munitions of wal" looks to
rather too lavish an expenditure of that kind, and
one not demanded by the crisis The money had
better be devoted to Penitentiary. We really do
not see any likelihood Of an issue of aims, with any
foe, domestic or foreign, requiring us to be armed
caf'-a-Pte. Whatever may be the result of coming
events, whether it be that OF continued union
(which we earnestly hope and pTay,I or of the.dis-
ruPtion of old and hallowed ties, compelled by un-
constitutional aggression, we can see nothing like
war in the riSta before us. The result must be
one either Of peaceabe acquescence in the rghtlul
demands Of the united South--or of peaceable sepa-
ration OF family in which there is an end Of con
cord But, should warlile exigencies unexpectedly

The FAYETTEVILLE IN. g. MURDER.-The
The Governor of North Carolina has issued.a pro-
clnmaton, offering reward of two hundred dollars
Tor the apprehension of Mrs. Ann K Simpson,
charged with the murder of her husband, Alex
ander C. Simpson, of Fayetteville, by arsenic
She Is described as " woman of small stature has
very black hair, dark complexion large black eyes,
small nose and large mouth, with her upper lip
stra'ghtly projecting dressed in deep mourning,
ana about nineteen years Of age" There is great
eHcItementin Fayetteville; and it seems that strong
doubts of her guilt are expressed. The jury Of
inquest expressed the opinion that they were
inclined to think she administered the poison
and the Carolnian contradicts some of the state
ments published, in article which been copied
into this paper, 1t says
Sc There was no evidence before the jury that
the deceased and his wife lived unhappily together
whatever may be street rumor, or whatever NAV be
proved hereafter, it was not testified to- There
was no evidence that he-inlormed her or informed
any body else, that he intended to apply for divorce
There was no evidence that he received medicine
from physician, or any body else, until II hours
\ after he weHtto bed with violent symptoms There
was evidence that she changed the medicine
! then prescribed or that she gave arsenic in any
manner, The conclusion that she did give it, is
only brought about by chain of circumstances.

Mr.. Forsyth informed us that Gen, Wilson and

for California in few days, and would probably
return in the spring. Maj Stansberry was making
preparations for surveying the country, lake, etc.

cleared, and expected TO remain there until spring
Mr. T. brought in letters from him to his friends at
