General faylor's hand writing, in which Cen

MIR. Bancroft, the American Minister at the
Court st. James, publicly announced the
death of ex-President Polk, on the l tn July.
The document is highly laudatory OF the char
acter of the deceased, and thus sums up his
virtues and public services -
g He ever approved his fitness for the high
est trust; excelling not more in station, than
in righteousness. prudence, temperance, and
fortitude. He defined, established, and extend
ed the boundaries of his country. He planted
the slaws of the American Unionon the shores
of the Pacific. His influence and his council
tended to organize the National Treasury
on the principles of the Constitution, and to
apply the rnle of freemdom TO navigation,
trade. and industry. Most beloved where
best known, he lived happily, and died IN the
midst Of his countly's nnexampled prosperity,
which his own measures had contributed to
establish. His memory as public man lives
in honor, and will endure; the youth Of our
country will be formed to virtue by emulating
the purity of his private life."

THIS DIsTRIcT.-ln our general table will
be found the returns from all the counties in
the district Some of them are not official, in
Others the majority only is given. yet we be-
lieve they win be found correct in the main.
1t is hardly probable that they will vary so
votes altogether from the official result. In
this county, and, we believe, throughout the
district. the day passed with less excitement
than usual indeed, it was remarked upon in
this place as being the quietest election that
had ever happened in Wilmington. All things
considered, however, an average vote was
polled. OF the result it is unnecessary 10
speak. AS we felt certain would be the case,
the regular nominee has received very little,
il at all, below the usual party majority, du-
ring times of so little excitement. Now that
the canvass is over. although, of course, we
feel grati6ed by the result, that qualification
is unmixed with any feeling of triumph over
the defeated candidate, but has its origin sim
ply in the success Of what we conseientiously
believed to be in accordance with the usages
of the party and essential to'its permanent
success; and we are also happy TO find that in
this belief we are borne out by very large
majority of the Democrats of the district.
Now that the excitement of the canvass has
passed away, SO let every bad feeling TO which
it may have given rise, vanish. Democrats can
not feel any chagrin in yielding 10 Democrat
nor can the feeling of exultation or triumph
be INDUCED in over political brother. Will

one or two counties where there was an ap
parent division, it was much more apparen
than real, as we know that in those counties
the Wing party rallied on Mr.. Reid almost tt
a man. and, of course, comparatively small
number OF Democrats joining with them wa
sufficient to turn the scale. In those coun
ties, we feel confident that when the tug O

Democratic party will feel and act with al

Southern Cholera Anecdote.-One cannot
but be struck with the great disproporton in
the number of whites and blacks carried off
by the cholera at the South, and the Rich
mond Republican says that at least FIVE blacks
die TO one white; and gives as the reason,
that they do not control their ap2etites and
live prudently. In addition TO this, they near
ly all believe that mans time is fixed, and
that it is scarcely worth his while TO try and
avoid it.. The Republican relates the follow
ing - Hs-.
What is amusing even in so serious
matter as an attack of the cholera, is the uni
form pertnacity with which its colored sub
ieets will deny to their medical attendants that
they have eaten anything which could make
them sick. An eminent physician of our city
informed us that on being called 10 negro
suddenly attacked with cholera, he asked him
whether ne had been eating fruit or vegeta-
bles. oh, no, SIR was the reply, nothing
OF the kind What. have you eat no apples
or cherries p mo, no. said the negro.
never eats 'em any time of the year. We'll,
| believe YOU have said the Doctor, and I'll
prove it in a short time.' The physician ad-
ministered vomit, the result of which was
the election of about quart of apples, stems,
seed, and all! WELL said the Doctor, i
thought you told me you had not been eating
apples. Look at those. Are they not apples :
They does look like 'em, SIR 'Are they
not apples p Yes, sir, they are, that's fact
Well, how did they get into you, if you did
not eat 'em p Please, Massa, don't know
but never eat anything Of the kind :.
g The conclusion to which our medlcai
friend came was, that the only acdy 10 get
the truth out Of a negro is to Uona't 1t out q
him. and that, even then, he won't own IT.

Death before Ram.-A man named Sutton,
having, against his wife's re nonstrances, pur-
chased grog shop at Van Buren,, which led
him into bad habits, and caused him 10 resolve
upon removing his family to that town, Mrs
Sutton came to the desperate resolution of de-
stroying herself and children rather than COM
ply with his wishes; and with that view, on
the night of the 2Oth instant, when herself,
her two children, and negro girl were in the
house, she fastened the doors and set it on
fire. The oldest child and the negro girl made
their escape, but the mother and the youngest
child persisted in the flames.
