EXACTLY &c. Acorrespondent of the Raleigh Reg
lister, writing from Mcdowell county, undertakes to
give the why and the wherefore of Mr.. Cngmans
victory, and proceeds classify his supporters
as follows: First, he says, the Union supported
him secondly, the disuniOsists supported him third
ly, those who supposed Col. Gather political as
prant and merely DESTROYS of Mr.. Clingmans seat in
Congress !! If this is all the comfort he give
Mr.. Gales, he is poor comforter indeed. What a
genius and what discovery he has made!! The
MON men supported him-the Disunionists support
ed him, and the people large supported him. Well,
the fellow whether he intended it not came very
near telling the TRUTH for Mr. Clingman got nearly all
he votes cast, of every description.
We have been much amused at the way in which
certain of the wouldbe leading papers have classed
Mr.. Clingman. One says he is Wing Secession
list-another, he is MISREPRESENTATION that he
is Locofoco, and another great light in the political
armament don't classify him at all! No doubt Mr..
Clingman feels great modification at being misun-
derstood by hired presses and pensoned politicians,
but then he has the consolation of knowing that the
peope-the bona fde sovereigns-have understood
him and appreciated fully his patriotism in rising
above all party considerations when their rights have
been invaded. lie deserves the gratitude of every
true-hearted American and let his enemies say what
they may, so long he enjoys the confidence of his
constituents, he laugh them to scorn If these
men are DESTROYS to do Mr.. Clingman justice, and
place him just where he really stands. they can in
future put him down true-hearted Repub ican,
and they will miss the mark very far. But to do
him justice is just the last thing some of them desire.

WORTH KNOWING. A young lady of this city
while in the country some years ago. stepped on a
RUSTY nail which ran through her shoe and foot.
The inflammation and pain were of very great
and lock-jaw apprehended. A friend Of the ia
mily, however, recommended the application OF a
beet taken fresh from the garden, and pounded fine
to the wound. 1t done, and the effect was very
beneficial. Soon the inflammation began to subside
and by keeping the crushed beet, changing it for
fresh one as its virtue seemed to become impaired
a speedy cure was effected. Simple but effectual
remedies like this should be known by every body.

alarming Railroad Riot in NeW Jersy-SeUeraI Men
RiHed-IHe Military Called Out.
EAsroN, PA, Sept. 5th. A very serious difficulty
has occurred among the Irish hands employed the
New Jersy Central Railroad, Spruce Run,
about IL miles from this place.
1t seems that quarrel took place last Sunday, be-
tween the natives of the different counties of Ireland
relating to some local differences in their
try. Since that time the laborers employed diff
erent points of the road have formed themselves into
parties and have had several battles. in which fire.
arms have been freely used. Several men have been
shot, and two at least are known to be killed.
The Sheriff has called out the military, but yet
they have made but little impression upon the rioters.
The Irshmen have procured firearms, and very seri-
GUS trouble is feared all along the line of the road.
Yesterday the Irishmen expected, and had pre-
pared themselves for grand battle, but up last
evening nothing of serious character had occurred.
Mr.. Thomas Reardon, Catholic Priest of Easton,
has used his influence among them to quiet them.
The whole neighborhood, of course, is in state of
great excitement. The military yesterday succeeded
in taking the arms from party of Irshmen marching
to attack another set, and they dispersed They
armed with guns pistols and clubs and compel their
felIow-aborers join them whether disposed to do
so or not.
