NIAGARA FALLS, June %.

NIAGARA FALLS, June 90.
At twenty minutes past two o'clock this afternoon.
the Table Rock at Niagara Falls fell with tremen-
dous crash. the sound Of which was heard for miles
around. carriage and six persons were passing
over it at the time, and they had just barely time to
escape. The carriage was carried away with the
rock. 1t is stated that the guide and some visitors
were under the rock, but it is not known whether
any person is injured, though fears entertained for
their safety.
The National InteIligencer seems to think that it
may be the elegant Suspension Bridge which had
fallen. Some portion of the Table Rock fell down
few years ago. Three weeks since, however, we
were upon the rock, and were wet to the skin by
tering under portion of the Horse Shoe Fall imme-
diately underneath. The volume of water, the roar
of the wind, and the beetling cliff overhanging were
terrific enough, but we had idea that the structure
would so soon give awy. 1t is strange that car
riage and six persons were passing over it at the
time, unless, indeed, very broad section, includ
ing the road, near the house, fell down.

CONFESSION OF PROFESSOR WEBSTER. A report
was in circulation Saturday that this individual
had sent written communication to the Governor
and Council, confessing that he killed DR.. Parkman,
but denying that the act was premeditated. AS far
as we can learn, such communication has yet been
SENT has any confession been made public by Dr.
Webster. 1t is not denied, however, that something
of this kind has been in preparation for week past.
and we are informed that the Governor aud Council
have been apprzed the part of the prisoner that he
intends to lay paper before them at their meeting
tomorrow, Tuesday. From what has been disclosed
thus far. the general understanding seems to be that
the confession will not be very explicit the friends
of DR.. Webster wish to save him the benefit Of the
doubt which yet exists in the minds of some indvd-
uals as to his guilt 1t is difficult to understand how
so equivocal measure is expected to take effect with
any advantage to the unfortunate man.

LET IT BR REMEMBERED! Ay let it be remem-
bered, that David S. Reid, the democratic candidate
for Governor is opposed 10 Internal Lmprorements He
has been the bitter and uncompromisng opponent
the Wilmington and Raleigh Rail Road Company.
He was in the Senate of our Legislature in 1886,
1888 and l64O and his recorded votes will sustain
our assertion. The people Of this section should re-
member this. For our own part. there is not Wing
in the State for whom we would vote, if he enter
tained the same sentiments as COL Reld, on this VI
tality important question.
He has but little of the State pride which should
be considered an honor to every North Carollnlan.
Living on the Virginia line, and trading to Peters
burg, all his preudices and trading notions are Vr
gnian; and his influences, if elected Governor would
be exerted to direct the operations on the Central
Rail Road, construction Of Depos &C., so as to con-
meet the travel and produce with the Raleigh and
CASTOR Road, instead of their coming to Whining
tom Thus defeating the professed object of all en-
lion, that the new Road should be North Carolina
Road.
We have had enoagh of the draining Of wealth to
enrich Virginia and impoverish own State, with
out raising men to Office and power who do their best
to increase the degrading bondage"
The above is false. 1. is low, mean appeal to To-
cal and sectional feelings-an appeal which will be
disregarded and despsed by the hghtoned and chiv-
alrous people Of the Cape Fear region.
The Commercial asserts that Col. Reid I" is op-
posed to Internal Improvements. We refer to his
Address in columns to-day. to settle this point
Will that paper do simple justice to Col. Reid by
publishing his Address! Or will it persist in these
charges, conceaing the facts in the case from its rea-
ders! We shall see.
Col. Reid is native born son of North Carolina,
and MI. Loring is not. 1t we'll becomes the latter,
under such crcumsances to insinuate that the form
er has but little State prde, that his prejudices
are with Virginia and in favor Of Virginia towns
How contemptible!

DEMOCRATIC STATE CONVENTION. On our first
page the reader will find the proceedings of the late
Democratic Convention.
The last Standard brings the gratifying intelligence
that Col. Reid has accepted the nomination Of the
Convention This result will be hailed with accla-
nation by the Democratic party throughout the
State. No other name could carry with it so many
popular associations az Cot. Reid's. He is the IA
ther of Free Suffrage e-the author and originator Of
that great measure Of constitutional reform Against
that doctrine Gov. Manly stands committed.
Two years aao Governor Manly led him only 500
votes little more etertion the part of the De-

FLoR1DA-MAJ. JOHN BEARD.

FLORIDA-MAJ. JOHN BEARD.
The Democnts of Florida, at their late Convention,
nominated Msj John Beard, formerly of this State,
their candidate for Congress at the ensuing elec
ton. Maj. Beard, we are gratifed to perceive, has
accepted He is one of the most popular and deserv
ing men in Florida. The Flordan and Journal says:
tsIt il with unusual pleasure that we place the
name Of Major Beard at the head of our columns as
the Democratic candidate for Congress. Neither
seeking nor desiring the honor, he has been chosen
by the unanimous voice of the party as its standard
bearer in the ensuing contest. The fact that, by
respectable body of delegates, drawn together fiom
all portions Of the State, he was selected from among
all the prominent members of the party without dis
sentng vote, as ts choice. contrary to his own wis-
dence of his WORTH. We need say now or hereafter,
little in his praise. He is known and esteemed
throughout the State and where known best Is es.
teemed most his life is of irreproachabe integ
rity, his character ono OF spotless purity The late
venesated statesman Of South Careiina the eabodi-
Of all that is pure in morals, was not more ex
empary in all the relations of private e than the
Democratic nominee. With such candidate, one
who will stoop to foul means unfair expedients
to secure success-who, despsing all the arts Of the
demagogse. has yet secured degree Of popularity
which the demagogue in vain strive to attain, il
he atsains can only keep for day-with such can
didate, while it would be reproach TO his support
en to be defeated, it would be indeed glorious to
triumph.
Maj. Beard, if elected to Congress. will carry with
him to the Office that business talent energy, indus
try, and experience in public life, which i'm
porsant to the faithfal discharge Of its duties.
North Caroinan by birth, he served for number Of
years in the two branches Of the Legislature Of his
native State. Declining there q Congressional
canvass which was urged upon him. he came to Flor
ida twelve years Since. In this State TO say nothing
of other positions Of responsibility, he has held fol
nearly four years the highly important office Of Stats
Register. Tie manner in which be has discharged
its duties 10 Witnessed BY his reeecton In l849, BY
majority appsoaching to umnimity." s :
