NOrth Carolina for buchanan.

The Wilmington Journal of Dec. 18th, has a
leading editorial devoted to the consideration of
the duty of the Democracy of North Carolina,
in reference to the Presidential question, from
which we extract the following, as to the senti-
ment of that State -
1t will be remembered, that when in 1910 and
'49 the Wings succeeded in electing good but
weak old men to the Presidency, the country
was Democratic, and were beaten by her
own want of harmony. Let us avoid this in %
For part, we have no hesitation in
saying that we believe that Mr.. Buchanan is
the first choice of North Carolina, and we should
like to see him nominated, bat we will make no
pledges to support the nomination of the
Baltimore Convention, provided the platform of
that Convention agree with US, and the nominee
plants himself unresercdly upon il

The Origin Of the Fire.

WASHINGTON, Decem. 26.-The origin of the
fire at the Capitol, has been ascertained beyond
doubt On the removal of the rubbish last
evening, one of the timbers of an alcove, enter
ing the wall on the east side of the library, ex-
actly where the fire was first observ ed, it was
found to extend into defective fiue leading from
the committee room, where a wood fire was kept
This timber was mostly consumed, while other
timbers in other parts of the wall, were but
slightly burned. The chimney connecting with
this fue was also ascertained to have been on fire
1t Is considered satisfactory proof that this was
the cause Of the fire

From Northern Mexico.

New ORLEANS, Dec. %, 1S5I.-By the receipt
OF the Brownsville, (Texas) papers to the Sd
inst, we learn that the revoutionists in Northern
Mexico have again commenced the struggle
against the general government Gen. Carara-
jail had attacked the Mexican General Janreoui
who had fortified himself strongly in Ceralvo
After two days hard fighting, Caravajal took
nearly the whole town, and drove the Mexicans
INTO fortified house, where they were complete
Iy penned up. All the provisions, ammunition.
&c, belonging to the Mexican forces, were taken
by Caravajal- The revolutionists had ten killed
including Lieut.. Graham and Capt ChiuI. eap-
tain Wheat was severely wounded. The Mexi-
can loss was very great, including nearly all the
Seminole Indians and their leaders. The latest
accounts say that CaravajaI was about to attack
the MexIcans in their last position. If success
ful he Will enter Monterey without opposition
New ORLEANS, Dec. 24-The accounts bv the
schooner Brownsville, represents the fighting be-
tween Caravajal and Jaurequi as of the most
desperate and bloody character The latter va,
driven from Mier to Ceralvo, a distance Of forty
miles, at which place the government troops were
routed, and Caravajal occupied the town.

Hon. James Campbell.

The Hon. James Campbell has resumed the
practice OF law in Philadelphia; and we bespeak
Tor him the greatest success in his profession.
His long experience Judge, his high legal
attainments his strict attention to business, and
his courteous and gentlemanly department will
command for him practice of the very best
kind
The Democratic press have nearly universally
pointed him out as the person to be appointed
attorney General by Governor Bigler, and we
nave no doubt this expression will have great
weight with the Governor in making the ap-
pOintment .-HarrisLnra E1ior

Earge Fire In Philadelphia.

fire broke out about l o'clock on Saturday
morning, last, in Hart's Buildings at the corner
of Sixth and Chestnut streets, which proved very
destructive The intensity of the frost preven-
ted the noble fremen from arresting the progress
of the flames for some hours, and rendered a
supply of water difficult to obtain The whole
Of the western side of Sixth street. from Car
penter to Cuesnut street, is a mass of ruins.
The tasteful establishment Of DR.. Schenck
Blood's Despatch Office, and numerous stores in
that block, are entirely destroyed, with most Of

PROCLAMATION TO THE ARMY.

Soldiers-Be proud Of your mission, you viii
save the country; for 1 count on you not to vio-
late the laws, but to cause to be respected the
first law of the country, national sovereignty,
of which am the Legitimate representative.
| For long time you have suffered, like me,
by the obstacles which opposed themselves both
to the good l wished to do you, and to the de-
monStrations of your sympathy in my favor.
These obstacles are broken down. The Assem-
bly, has endeavored to attack the authority
hold from the whole nation. 1t has ceased to
exist
L make an honest appeal to the people and
the army, and | say to them-Either give me
the means of assuring your prosperity, or choose
another in my place
In 1880, as in 1S48, you were treated as if
conquered. After having branded your heroic
disinterestedness, you were not considered wor-
thy of having your sympathies and your wishes
consulted, and yet you are the elite of the ma
ton. To-day, in this solemn moment, 1 am
resolved that the army shall be heard.
Vote then freely as citizens. But as soldiers
do not forget that the passive observance Of the
orders Of the Chief of the Government is the
rigorous duty Of the army, from the general
down to the soldier. 1t is for me, responsible
for my actions before the people and before pos
terity, to take the measures which seem to me
indispensable for the public good.
As to you, remain immovable within the rules !
of discipline and honor. And by your imposing
attitude the country 70 manifest its viii in calm
and reflection. Be ready to repress any attack
on the free exercise of the sovereignty of the
people.
Soldiers, do not speak to your of the SOU
venirs which my name recalls. They are en-
graved in your hearts. We are united by indis-
soluble ties; your history is mine. There is
between us in the past community of glory and
misfortune. There will be in the future COM
munlty Of sentiments and of resolutions for the
repose and grandeur of France
Given at the Palace of the Elysee this I'd
December.
