FEMALE INFLUENcE.--I have noticed, says
Washington Irving, that Il married man falling
into misfortune is more apt to retrieve his
situation in the world than a single one,
chiefly because his spirits are sOOthcd and en-
deared by domestic cndearments, and self
respect kept alive by finding that though all
abroad be darkness and humiliation, yet there
is still a little world of love at home ofwhich
he is monarch. Whereas Il single man is apt
to run to waste and self-ncglcct, to fall into
ruin like some deserted mansion for want of
an inhabitant. have often had occasion to
mark the fortitudc with which women sus-
tain the most overwhelming reverscs. Those
disasters which break down the spirit of Il
man and PROSTATE him in the dust, seem to
call forth all the energies of the softer sex,
and give much intrepidity and elevation to
their character, that ut times it approaches to
subimity. Nothing can be more touching
than to behold soft and tender female, who
had been all weakness and dependence, and
alive to every trivial roughncss, while tread
inp the prosperous paths of life, suddcny
rising i'm mental force to be the comforter and
supportcr of her husband under misfOrtunes,
abiding with unshrinking firmness the bitter
blasts of adversely. As the vine which has
twisted its graceful foliage about the oak, and
has been lifted by it in the sun shine will,
when the hardy plant is riven by the thunder
bolt, cling around it with caressing tendrlIs'
and bind up its shattered brow; so, too, it is
beautifully ordained by Providence, that wo-
man, who is the ornament and dependent, on
man in his happier hours, should be his stay
and solace when smitten with sudden calami-
ty; winding herself into the rugged rccesses
of his nature, tcndcrly supporting his droop-
ing head and binding up the broken heart.

THE EXPLOSION OF TIE STEAMBOAT GLEN
coE - Confession ofhc Engineer.-John Ry-
an, one of the engineers of the Inflated
steamer Glencoe, by the explosion Of which,
ut St. Louis, few days ago, so many lives
were lost, died from his wounds on the 9th
inst. The Daily Times states that just pre-
vious to his death, and when fully conscious
of his condition, he made, in substance, the
following confession, in presence of several
gentlemen:
Gle stated that, on the evening of the ar
rival of the Glencoe, himself and George Blu
chanan, first engineer of the boat, were on
watch. Some time before reaching port he
(Ryan) tried the water in the boilers and
found it very low, and called to b. and inform
cd him of the fact, and received some eva
sive answer. lie again tried the water, and
again called to Buchanan, who told him to
mind his business, that there was water c.
nough in the boilers, and he would take her
with it to St. Louis or to hill. Not satisti-
cd, Ryan cxpostulated, and Buchanan told
him, in substance, that it was his (Buchanan's)
watch, and that he (Ryan) had nothing to do
with pumping up, ana, moreover, tiiat II ne
(Ryan) had his way he would have the water
from the boilers running out at the tops of
the chimneys. Subsequently Buchanan re-
marked that the boat was making good time,
and he would take her into St Louis kiting.
This was perhaps the last remark made, and
when the boat reached the wharf and COM
menced trying to effect landing, Buchanan
turned on the guage-cock and let on the Wa
ter. The instant the cold water came in con-
tact with the heated boilers, now nearly dry,
the explosion took place.
"This statcmentwas made over three times,
at the solicitation of the dying mans friends,
who thought perhaps, his mind was wander
ing. lie was told the weight and Importance
of his declaration, and was asked if he was
not out of his right mind, to which he rcpli-
ed, that he was perfectly conscious of what
he was saying and doing -that his dcclara-
tions were facts, and that he designed max
ing the same statement in the event of his re-
covery, and now he felt conscious of his ap'
preaching end, he was the more anxious to
unburthen his mind. In u short time after
Mr.. Ryan breathcd his last. The whole al
fair is to be thoroughly investigated"

North Carolina.

By reference to our telegraph
column, it will be seen that our esti-
mate of yesterday, placing Reds
majority at about five thousand is
confirmed by advices which have
since come to hand, and which show
clear gain of 1900 for the demo-
Gratis in As counties.
We have already spoken fully Of
the moral effect of this great and in
its xtentunexpected democratic VIC
tory. We regard it as insuring, if
due effort be not wanting, the collec-
tive electoral vote of the South to
Pierce and King. That able and
democratic Journal, the South, Side
Democrat, has the following re-
marks on the subject in which we
fully concur:
This is a most important victory
for the democracy its consequences
will be not confined to the State of
North Carolina, but will have a deci-
sive effect upon the presidentialelec
ton throughout the entire South
The Scott wings of the south made a
a desperate attempt to carry North
Carolina for the whig candidate in
the gubernatorials election. The
ablest and most popular wing in the
State was selected to lead the forlorn
