BGg~As mere matter of caution We would beg
the Southern allies of Foss Hale & Co., in their on
set upon Gen. Pierce, to remember that their grand
battery was unmasked in time for the North Carroll
election, and not enough to allow of any of
its guns being spiked before the day came round ;
and yet Gov. Reid bearing aloft the spoless banner
of Pierce. King and the Constitution, carried the
State against all the efforts of Foss Hale and their
allies, by majority of six thousand. What do they
expect to do now that their guns are spiked turn
ed against themselves, their deeeptons exposed and
their twistings and turnings rendered useless !

No doubt he and his brother aboitionSts in New

is pretty essentially used up, and the people begin
to be tired of having its remains paraded before
them.

she was built The accommodations for passengers

GaIvamizlmg n Dead Dog.

The Washington Republic of Tuesday, publishes
another string of Abolition swearings against Gen'l
Pierce all in the first instance, sworn before one
Joseph Cochran. Jr. Justice of the Peace" These
are of course copied into the Scott paper in this
place. Indeed, without the pleasing employment of
attempting to galvanize the decaying of this
defunct and obsolete Abolition humbug it is difficult
to see how the Scott press would get along AS the
matter stands however, we hope they will keep to
their work. 1t is showing concusively who and
what class of men in New Hampshire allied with
the Wing press in this dead dog onset against Gen.
Pierce. 1t will show that they are to man the
bitterest and most reckless of Abolitoniss and it
will lead the people to ask and reflect upon the
question: Why should these Abolitionists oppose
Gen. Pierce bitterly! Would they do So if he were
indeed an Abotionist, as they try to make him out?
Would not such conclusion be both unreasonable
and unnatural! And is it not evident that they
seek revenge for the defeats they have repeatedly
suffered at his hands
Go On, gentlemen. We would not part with your
assistance and that of your Abolition allies for a
good deal.

A NEW LITERARY ENTERPRISE.

We understand that accomplished lady of this
State is preparing for the press, volume of poems,
composed of residents of North Carolina. We do
know that title has yet been given to the work
but it is designed present to the public, in
and in durable form, those occasional out-pourngs
of the muse of Carolina which have molnentarily
walked the echoes of her hills and vaies, charming
the ear for season, but leaving recorded memory
behind.
Such work, compiled with the intelligence and
taste which distinguish the fair author who has un-
dertaken the task, will fill important volume in our
home literature and demonstrate that ours is not

Where genius sickens, and where fancy dies -
while it will undoubtedly encourage tmd merit,
cite emulation, and help t" give new interest to the
scenes, and persons, and things of home. This is
not pecuniary speculation, and profit is not expect
ed from the enterprise; still cannot doubt but
the work will have extensive circulation, and in
this State at least, find its way to the hresldes of our
citizens from the ocean to the mountains.
In the meantime all persons, male and female who
have in their possession, poeca compositions Of mer-

The message concerning the fisheries question was
this morning communicated TO the Senate, and was,
Immediately, taken up. The documents, which APP
peared to be very were not read and the
message merely says that the U. S. steam frigate
Mississippi, under the command OF Com. Perry, had
been despatched the fishing grounds " for the pro-
lection of the rights of American citizens under the
convention of 1915"
There is olhing in the message which indicates
that there has been any is about to be any adjust
nlent Of the difficulty. At the same time there is
nothing to show that the Executive government is
disposed to acquesce in the imPudent assumption of
the British government Dispatches have also been
received, within day two, showing that the Brit

is negotiation loot for the adjustment of the ques

at the commencement of the session. the President
commended the subject TO the consideration Of Con-
gress; and that, until the occurrence of this outrage
on the part of Great Britain there some chance
for the passage of Reciprocity law.
Mr.. Cass, to-day, stated that the zone Of the Col

Davis of Mass, declared that, in his opinion, it was
the object. Mr.. Davis took occasion to denounce the
reciprocity scheme, especially far it might be
established by the treaty -making power-to which it
does not belong.
