WASHINGTON MONUMENT.
We learn that the Governor has forwarded to Wash.

citizens of Lincoln, to be placed in the Washington
Monument for North Carolina and tina, he has also
made arrangements for having the block properly pre-
pared for it's place in the Monument according the
directions Of the last Assembly, by artist in that
City. We understand further that the Governor would

GEORGIA ELECTION,

If the report be correct that six OF the Union

been elected Congress from the State of Georgia,
the following will compose the delegation from that

counties had been heard from, which foot up major

There are now returns from only two counties want

majority up to 5000. Ch0s Courier
The Raleigh Register says: I" If one may judge
from appearances, the " Standard " has heard but lit
tie from the Georgia election. The last number of
that paper contains very slight alusion to the
suit. Hope the Editor doesn't feel at all sore." Not
aall-we bow with Difference to the popular will.
But you had to 6orroac a candidate from the Democ-
racy in order TO make even a decent showing in
Georgia.
The following Card from Gov. Mcdonald, pub

light upon the means by which this Cobb victory

"It is the fashion of those who would be esteem
ed the rampant champions of the administration and
the best friends of the Wing party, to accuse those
of being disunionsts, who speak the truth to the
people in respect to the prospects before u.s. Some
of these fellows would sell the Union, if the patron
age they get for being Union men could be doubled
on the other Score.'
Such is the language of the Wilmington CONNER
cial, Wing paper. 1t is hard hit; and were it
not their rhinoceros-like hides impervious. it
would sink deep into the quivering flesh of those
ranting Union Wings who have the effronery to de-
disunionists all who advocate the rights
of the States. They anathematZe enemies of the
Union those who seek to uphold the compromises of
the Constitution. But, says this same Wing paper,
IS the truest friend is he who tells the truth-so he
is the ruest friend of the Uuion who warns the Peo
pie of the dangers that assa it. The pillars of al
legance resting in the hearts of the people alone
preserve this Union. When it is attempted to up
hold it by government patronage and the Central
Power, it will either live but in name, under
solidated Despotism, else be dissolved, with
suits in perspective that defy all human calculation"
These are words of g soberness and TRUTH Par
tisan demagogues may endeavor to proptiate the
good will Of the people by hypocrtical professions
of devotion to the Union; but intelligent men will
fail to detect the fimsy veil with which they at
tempt TO hide their real object. If this Union is
ly be preserved by force If 1t IS to be perpet
uated only by submission on the part of the South
the aggressions of the North, than it to be
the Union established by fathers, and becomes
mere desPotism. And they who denounce States
Rights men, and raise the pharsacal cry of 'Union
the glorious Union ''-are the very last men to be
relied on the Union. While the other
hand those who adhere to the written Constitution
and warn the South of the fatal blows aimed at it by the
North, are the true Union men. We want the Union
it from. the hands of its iustrious founders
and we want other Union. Give US this or none.
But these men, who claim to be the especial
champions of the Union, par excellence, pursuing
a course which only result in subverson of the
Union originally established, and the substitution
in its stead of central desPotism, with absolute and
uncontrolled power. Upon such politicians with
what terrible effect does the denuncation of this
Wing paper fall-s' Some of these fellows would
sell the Union, if the patronage they get for being
Union men could be doubled on the other score :"

THE "srAR, FOR A RANK.

We had intended to submit some remarks in reply
to late article in the Raleigh STAR in which that
paper shows the cloven foot and the horns of mon
ster National Bank; but we find the matter SO well
noticed by friends of the Wilmington Journal,
that we substitute their article for one of our own:
"a national BANK. This sobsolete idea,' as
Daniel Webster once termed it, is every now and
in the world as obsolete as it. The last ghostlytap-
partition of the idea is in the columns of the RALEIGH
Star of the 18th nst in article headed THE Banks
and Currency wherein the veritable Guyascuticus
is let loose-the ancient Nicholas is developed in his
full proportions, adorned with the traditional appen-
dages and adornments of hoofs and horns tails and
toggery. In fact, the Star comes right out for Ma
tiona Bank.
At times one would suppose that the Wing party
had given up the Bank hobby; and SUCH we pre-
sume is the belief of the rank and file of that party
in general. But such notion has entered the head
of the old staging politicians. We have carefully
and thoughtfuy noted the signs of the times in this
respect, and perfectly convinced as we are
of own existence, that could the present Presi
dent and Cabinet obtain Congressional majority.
agreeing with them in sentiment, the next message
of the Secretary of the Treasury would embody re-
commentator on this subject.
Our object is not now to discuss the merits of the
case 1t is simply to call attention the facts in re-
gard to 1t. Whatever apparent abandonment there
may be for the purpose of effect the old Henry CLAW
platform is still the Creed and Koran of the old line
especially at the North and the bulk of the party
is located there. is the influence. The leopard has
changed his spots by any means, although he ra-
Their keeps them out of view. We have little doubt
that the article of the Star would be endorsed By nine
tenths of the Wing papers of the State, were they
called upon to show their hands. AS we have already
remarked, object is not to say word pro or con,
but state the issue it really will be found to ex-
st, should time arrive when it can be tested'
The Editor of the Star will find some " food for
reflection - in the above.

A DIRGE.
"Charlie. darling little Charlie,
Much BELOVED. but blighted early,
Binding teass our grief are telling,
AS we scan thy narrow dwelling.
Household echoes, lately ringing
With the gladness of thy singing,
Now are silent, or awaken
To the wall of hearts forsaken.
While the budding woods were growing,
Daffodis and pansfes blowing,
Song-birds to their haunts returning,
Thou hast gone and left US mourning.
Mourning for our vanish'd pleasure.
Mourning for our CHERISHED treasure;
Words of consolation spurning,
Comfort finding but in mourning.
To thee baby hearts were clinging,
Now with wordless sorrow wringing,
He recall'd thee home who gave thee
Night was come, and death would have thee.
So we leave thee here in slumber
Which no earthly pain can cumber,
Till the trump of God awake thee,
Home to Christ in bliss to take thee.'' w.

THE WEATHER AND CRoPs. Frost in Louisiana.
The following is from the Concordia lntellgencer OF
the 4th inst.
of September-the cotton plantations in this vicinity
were visited by quite severe white FROST We deem
so remarkable an occurrence as this worth chronl-
cling The appearance of frost in this region of coun-
try BY the 9th 18th of OCTOBER has generally been
considered early enough and we venture to say that
it :. runneth beyond the memory of man, when we
have had frost here in September before.
The Clinton (La.) Wing, Of the LIST inst, says:
Saturday, Sunday and Monday nights were cold
and unreasonable. On Monday morning, we are in
formed the thermometer stood at A Degrees and frost
was observable the bottom lands. The weather
still continues dry, all vegetation is checked, and it
seems to be the general anticipation that the hrst
rain will bring in its train heavy trost-perhaps
freeze.
The Galveston News of the I'd inst, has the fol-
lowing in relation to the crops:
Our cotton crop appears likely to turn out much
better than was anticipated few weeks ago. There
was then prospect that the dry summer which had
been so injurious would be followed by a wet fall.
But the weather after fine rains, has since con-
tinued dry and thus far no season was ever more
favorable for picking for the maturing OF the bols
On most OF the plantations the Brozos and Caney
from which have heard, the cotton crop IS rePor-
ted be much better than it last year, and some
are making quite an average CROP 1.-THE present hne
weather continues little longer, we shall confidently
expect the total crop OF the State to be mucn larger
than it was last year.
The weather, remarks the Greensboro Beacon Of
the 4th ins continues favorable for cotton picking
and the crop in this section is, satisfied, turn
ing out considerably better than was generally antlc
mated a month ago. Whilst the yield on the thir
sandy lands will fall something below that of las
year, the black lands generally will give conside
rably better yield. We had very light frosts on the
nights of the 9th and 29th, but they did no damagt
10 the cotton.
