VindicatiOn of Sir
Walter Raleigh.

Among the wonderful discoveries of gold
which are every where turning up, no one has
interested me more than that in Upata, PROV
ince of Venezuela. In the year 1915, Sir Wal

Ia trial in which even the appearance of
justice was disregarded, and low nvective,
and abuse, disgraceful to the name of Sir Ed
ward Coke, heaped upon him, and after his
subsequent incarnation for twelve years iD the
Tower,-was sat at liberty and placed at the
head of an expedition to Guiana, which had
for its object search for gold mines, which Sir
Walters studies had led him to believe existed
there. The project failed, Raleigh returned
unsuccessful, and the king weak and mean
enough to take advantage of misfortune, issued
his proclamation Of disapproval, imprisoned
the noble-hearted voyager, and IN few days
after caused him to be beheaded in the old
palace yard. Shame to the royalty of England
that to this day the name of the warrior, sta
tesman and historian has never been recorded
in Westminster Abbey! This very province OF
Upata in Venezuela is the place where the ex-
petition sought for gold in vain, and now, two
hundred and thirty seven years after truth was
crushed to the earth by royal tyranny, it rises
to vindicate the name of the gallant Raleigh
from the aspersisas which have obscured it,

Hope in Despair-NOrth Carolina,

To those wings who effect to believe that
the gubernatorial election in North Carolina is
no indication of what will be the Presidential
result, we would say that two wing newspa-
pers zcalously supported Kerr have come out
against Scott We believe there is another,
but we are certain Of the course of the Will
mington COMMERCIAL, which runs up the name
of Mr.. Webster,and that Of the Ashvilie News
which supports Pierce and King.
This secession of wing presses cannot be got
over nor got round This simple fact outweighs
with sensible men all idle predictions of a
Scott victory in November. Imediately after
the gubernatorial election. and before the re-.
suit could be knosn,the Wilmington CONNER
cal came out with long and able article
against Scott, from which we extract the fol
lowing:
Eat the request of many Of our fellow citi-
zens who are opposed to the election of Scott,
We hoist the flag of Webster and Graham,
around which they invite the friends of the
Constitution to rally in the Presidential con-
test. We take t61Hyep at the request OF those
wings who believe there should be manhood
in mankind, adherence to political principles,
and the love of country and the fear of God in
the discharge of their public duties. They do
but assert sentiment greatly prevailing the
southern mind and heart at present, and al
most universal in North Carolina previously
to the late nomination. They regret that they
cannot act with their political brethren but be.
lieve that they have taken the only ground
upon which the rights of the South can be
vindicated, her institutions sustained, and the
Union OF the States preserved. If they are to
fall, they will be crushed by the falling pillars
OF the Constitution, to which they will cling

The last Hope of Whigery.

On the nomination of Gen. Scott the Wings
expected to kndle the fires o: 1910. The Gen
erals were mounted and booted and spurred for
the conflict With their high melted steeds
they dashed into the conflict, but tie people
did not follow. The fires which they kindJed
soon went out. The tar and turpentine of
North Carolina refused to burn. The prairies
Of Missouri and Iowa would not blaze. Disap-
pontment sat on every countenance. Despair.
like anightmare, weighed down all their hopes.
They shouted to the charge but there was no
echo from the people. They called their great
conventions-they called their people, but like
the spirits from the vast deep they came not.
At last Horace Greeley discovered how Scott
was to be elected. Wing votes we're right
enough. but there were not enough Of them for
Mr. Greeley to keep up the fainting spirits of
his party. He then tells them that "a noise
less under-current Of prodigious strength, its
source, lying IN the secret convictions of the
patriotic masses will swell his vote everywhere
beyond all ordinary expectation. The thou
sands and tens of thousands of voters in the
locofoco ranks who will quietly deposit their
aud ten of thousands who voted for Harrison
and for Taylor, are not known and never will
be known in the detail. But they are the men
whose votes infallably count. They do not be-
long to the storm stayed class"
Now We should like to know what these thou
sands and tens of thousands of democrats, or
locofocos, as Greeley calls them, expect to gain
by electing Gen. Scott? In 1910 the wings and
Gen. Harrison inveighed against party and par
ty spirit. No declarations of principles were
published. Gen. Harrison and John Tyler
claimed to be better democrats than Van Buren,.
Gen. Tay lor refused to be regarded as party
candilate-refused to pledge himself to carry
out the principles of any. On the other hand
Gen. Scott now says: {" l should seek to Guilt
vate harmony and fraternal sentiments through
out the whig party" Again: My strict ad-
herence to the principles Of the wing party"

Now if any democrat has made up his mind
to abandon his principles. and his party, We

Cleveland arrived here this morning, with a
specimen of the fish genius, which We consid
er TO be great curiosity. The fish is of the
whale species, and is generally known by
whaemen as right whale killer" 1t was
caught on Monday afternoon, off to the south

Its length is Is feet, its thickness feet, and
its weight about 5000 pounds. 1t has been

serpent, which is annually seen off Nahant

The CaiOric Engine.

If Capt. Ericsson were not quiet. man. one

deeds rather than words, Gas the Home Journal

launched about the LIST Of November. to be

If the Ericsson proves success, that trip will

pheric air by heat. Captain Ericsson's calorc
engine will have inside of 1t caged hurricane,
artifically produced, and perfectly under COM
'mand. The expanded air will work the piston
just as steam does, withthe following most i'm.
portant difference: When a portion of steam
has done its work in imparting to the piston
one movement that portion escapes and coos
that is, ceases to be steam-and new steam
has to be created to supply its place; hence the
vast consumption of fuel. But in the calorc
engine it is otherwise. The hot air, after hav-
ing given stroke to the piston, does not es-
cape, but is caught and Gagged again. yielding
back to the reservoir all but about thirty de-
grees of heat, out of four hundred and eighty
which it had when it entered the cylinder;
hence the economy Of the caloric engine. The

preparing her for launching. We shall watch

eminent as to produce union and harmony

and the wings think there is large class Of
our citizens who, ashamed of openly proclaim

sneak to the polls and put in vote, for him
all the time proclaiming to be democrats. The

who openly advocates the electionof Gen. Scott

dare not own it. Such things may be done in

that walks the rich and teeming earth Of the
