That the Public may see how little reliance is
to be placed in the braggar assertions that Pierce
and King will carry NORTH CAROLINA in Novem-
Der, we subjoin few of the equally confident pre-
dictions, based upon the strength Of the result Of
the August elections in 1S4S, that Cdss and Butte,
we're destined to sweep every thing before them:
FROM STANDARD" OF AUGUST AND SEPTEMBER, lS4S.

not anticipate did that should send such dsmay

friends, say TO you fight and fight boidyy Day break

eight ten thousand majority in this State for Taylor and

BUTLER Put that in pipe and smoke it, Mr. Express
"Hencgorth The Wigs doomed Cass and Butler will
sweep the State in November and Federalism will then die
out, for good and all, in North Carolina"
And yet, in the face of all this braggadocia TAY-
LoR carried the State of North Carolina by very
nearly nine thousand majority. And we confidently
believe that ScoTT and GRAHAM will carry the
State by majority nearly, if not quite, as large.

We yesterday announced the arrival at New York,
on Wednesday, of the United States steamfrgate
Mssissippi, from brief visit to the British Pro
vinces and adjacent fishing grounds
We learn from Lieut. CoNTEE, an officer Of the
ship, who arrived in this city on Thursday morning
with dispatches from Commodore PERRY for the
Government that during her brief cruise of thirty
two days the Mississippi sailed over three thousand
miles, traversing the whole fishing grounds of the
Bay of Fundy, the coasts of Nova Scotia, around
Cape Breton to the Magdalen Isles; thence to Cha
leur Bay thence down along the north and east
coasts of Prince Edwards Island and out again by
the northern shores of Cape Breton Isle; in this
route seeing about five hundred fishing craft many
of which were boarded and the fishermen examined
and cautioned against violating the treaty
In every port of the Provinces which was entered
by the Mississippi the kindest treatment and hospi-
tally extended to her officers by the authori-
ties and the people.
Commodore PERRY, by his tact and address, has
done much to increase the amity and good feeling
which should exist between the Provinces and our.
selves, and doubtless the Government will receive
much useful information from him.
The fishing question presents no difficulties which
cannot be arranged by the present Administration,

OF the absurd and suicidal policy forced upon the coun

THE GREAT FREsHET IN THE SOUTH.

FROM THE CHARLESTON MERCURY OF WEDNESDAY.
The FREsHEr.-We have little news to day except Of
the great flood Of water that has come down from wide
stretch Of the mountain region extending from Alabama
to Pennsylvania We have yet but very imperfect in
formation Of the damage done by this extraordinary food
There is some consolation in remembering that the first
aspect Of such wild outbreak Of the elements is worse
than the reality but at the best the loss to the river plant
ers must be heavy. How far down it will extend we
may know tomorrow. Much depends upon the condi-
ton Of the unencosed swamps If they are very dry they
will swallow up huge draughts Of the food and may thus
deprive it of its destructive power before it reaches the
rice fields
Though have few details, information leads
suppose that the Atamaha Chattahoochee and Alabama
rivers have suffered much the ms the Savannah and
the destruction Of bridges and mills as well as crops has
been very general on the streams Of the whole upper
country Of this and the adjoining States,
