NAGRANcY.-A free negro named
Amos Boyle was arrested on WednrS-
day last on the charge Of living without
visible means of support" The Or
phans Court decided that the case came
under the provisions of the third section
of the "sapplement TO the act of eigh-
teen hundred and thirtv-one, chapter
three hundred and twenty-ihrce, enti-
tied an Act relating to Free Negroes
and Slaves;' and ordered the Sheriff to
sell said negro to the highest bidder. TO
serve in the capacity of slave for one
year.
FlRE.--The Paper Mill occupied by
Mr.. Norris Lewis, on the Little Elk, was
entirely destroyed by fire on Sunday
night last. There was a large quantity
of paper and rags in the mill at the time,
but the fire spread so fast as to preclude
the possibility of saving anything. |,
is said. there had been no fire about the
mill since the Saturday night previous
which, together with several other cir.
cumstances connected with the fire, tend
to confirm the suspicion that it was sci
on fire by some malicious person. The
mill and machinery, it is said, were in.
sured, but there was only partial insu
rance on the stock, which is a serious
loss to Mr.. Lewis.
Since the above was in type a fuller
account Of the fire has been Sent in by a
correspondent, whose letter will be
found in another column.

through their united exertons the ladies were saf

The accident occurred about 12oclock and the niobt
was extremely dark
The passengers received every kindness. we learn
at the hands of Mr. Nichols of the Stage House and
others
We learn also that the stage in returning from
Greensborough on Friday, upset again at the
same placed Mr.. Branch, Mr.. Speight, and Mr.. Sin
gleton were in the stage returning, and also Mr.
Ward, of Orange, and Mr.. Darden of Plymouth
The passengers extricated themselves without injury
We learn that the driver was charged to be careful

the same rock and upset There has been negligence
or recklessness somewhere and it is be hoped that
for the protection of travellers on this line hereafter
some change or Improvement will be made
1t is little surprising that Emo is not brdged near
Hillsborough.

az We might, if we considered it necessary to
do so, quote from number of letters recently recei-
we'd approving in the contest in this Dis
trict Old and tried friends have expressed their
qualification at the stand we have taken, and have
urged to go forward in advocacy of principles
without regard to men. Even Venable men have
said to u.s. "Sir, you right far principle is
concerned-we cannot blame you"-and yet some
who have thus addressed us will no doubt sustain
Mr.. V. at the pollsl We know that, in due time
they will perceive their error; but cannot with
hold an expression of regret when we see good De-
mocrats thus aiding to bolster up disorganzer and
a renegade from important party principles.
We take this occasion to say that we have receiv-
ed many letters to which should be pleased to
reply, but our engagements have prevented us from
doing SO. Our Correspondents and friends hear from
twice week in these columns; and if we cannot
answer all their letters they may rest assured that
at work in the cause, and that our heart is
with them.

A CASE OR TWO SUPPOSED

Suppose Mr.. Venable had been true to organiza-
ton, and sound upon the Cuba question and the
public lands, and we had taken ground against him
for Mr. Lewis; and suppose, in addition to this, Mr.
Lewis had been unsound upon these questions-could
he have been sustained? And suppose we had re-
manned silent in this contest, and Wing had been
elected-would we not have been censuredP And
suppose again. that in looking for the strongest De-
mocrat we had pitched upon that one strongest
who differed radically with his party upon the ques
tons above named and upon rganization-would
we not have been justly obnoxious to the charge of
having preferred man to our principles?
We ask the friends of Mr.. Venable to think of
these things allow their judgments to have play
to consult facts more than their feelings and then
decide as to our course in this matter.

~ The Danville Republican, in some remarks
in relation to this Congressional District says ut
is little remarkable that while the Wings are COM
planning in the Caswel District that the Democrats
have had the presumption to nominate man at all
in the District below they are endeayorng to take
advantage of diuision to misrepresent Democrat
ic majority The election, however, is close at hand
and the question upon which depends 50 much Will
be decided. 1t seems to us that the Standard has
delayed too long in making appeal against Fena-
ble schose course has been many respects 50 oSnsHr

~ Mr.. Venable reminds US of the preacher who
staid all night at house. and who neither had prav
ers or said grace, neither did or said any thing bv
which his real character could be known AS he
was about leaving, the of the house gave him
to understand that he expected pay for his nights
lodging but he endeavored to get off by saying he
preacher, and ought not to be charged "That
may be-" replied the man of the house, but you
came here like sinner, you took supper like sin
ner you went to bed like sinner, and you sleptGke
a sinner; and intend you shall pay like sinner"
Just so with Mr. Venable. He talked and voted in
Congress with the Whigs-he talks like Wing now,
and he has slept and acted with Wings, and it is
but just and right that we should pay him off like
Wing. The truth is, up to the time Mr.. Rogers
came out it was claimed for Mr. Venabe that he was
good enough Wing to get Wing votes and Mr.
Venable himself did all he could to secure Wing
votes; but now the tune is changed-Mr Lewis is
charged with being a Whig and Mr. Venable is try
ing to whip round again and get Democratic votes.
Think of that. Mr.. Lewis is as sound a Democrat
as can be found any where; and if elected-as we
feel confident he will be-he will show his Democ-
racy by standing up for the administration of Gen.
Pierce On the contrary, brother Democrats, if Mr.
Venable should be returned to Congress he will go
there to give votes and make speeches, which must
in the very nature of things tend to embarass the
administration of FRANKLIN PIERCE.

good of the Democratic party. Mr. John L. Terrell
is now the only Democratic candidate in the field or

interested and magnanimous, and we have no doubt
it will be remembered to his advantage hereafter.

ewMr. Leak, we understand, has openly pro-
claimed from the stump that he viii support no man
for Governor who does not agree with him on the
land question; and Mr.. Venable, we learn, says he
will support the Democratic candidate for Governor,
bit reluctantly, provided he docs not agree with
him. He has but one more step to take to be with
Mr. Leak; and Mr.. Leak, according to his own
showing, is with the Wings. "He that is not for us
is against US; and he that gathereth not with US
scattereth abroad But this is not ALL Mr. Vena-
BILE differs with the Democrats Cuba; and if re-
turned to Congress he viii go there pledged to en-
barrass the Administration two leading questions
Cuba and the public lands. Can it be possible
that District with Democratic majority of two
thousand will elect such representative?
