a. The Hillsbcrough Recorder says: "To those
who acquainted with the facts, it is not matter
of surprise that Enoe is not brdged at this place at
this time. The old bridge, which had been stand
ing some twenty-five years, a recent examination
was declared to be unsafe and the County Court at
its last term appointed commissioners to contract for
building new one A contract was made, and the
contractors forthwith proceeded to the old
bridge and prepare the foundation for the one,
and diligently engaged in the fullment of their
contract The plan, understand, contemplates
handsome and durable bridge; and as the contract
is in the hands of energetic persons we may expect
to the new bridge completed within reasonable
time"

DR. sHAW's MAJORITY


The last Elizabeth City Pioneer comes to US brim-
full of enthusiasm over the election Of this gallant
champion of Democracy. Friend Starke of the
Pioneer deserves lasting credit services in the
campaign We are almost tempted to make visit
to Elizabeth City by way of Nagshead, for the pur-
pose of taking our venerable contemporary by the
hand-but we hope to see him, during this or the
ensuing month, in New York or some other village
down-east Hear him!
SHAW ELECTED-OUTLAw DEFEATED! The storm
is over-the elements are again calm-the glorious
sun of Democracy shines forth in perfect blaze of
resplendent beauty and brilEaney, and the proud
flag of Democracy floats triumphantly from the mast
head of the old ship that has nobly weathered the
storm and now rides safely in the haven of spen-
did triumph. Immortal honor to the unterriied De-
mocracy of the old Albemarle District! They have
covered themselves all over with glory. We have
elsewhere paid merited tribute to Currituck and
Pasquotank countes-but ALL the counties have
won glorious renown. Old Martin and Northamp-
ton have out-done themselves-and the thunder of
their heavy artillery rolls back in triumphant saluta
ton to that of Currituck! But we have no time
inclination to expatate just upon the most bril-
liant victory that illustrates the political annals of
the Old North State. We are too full of glory to
talk or write"

DISPATCHES IN RELATION THE KossTA AFFAIR.
1t is said that dispatches from Constantnople rela
tive to the Kossta affair." have been received at the
State Department in Washington, and that they do
not vary from the published accounts materially.
All letters received both private and official declare
that the universal sentiment among the natives and
the foreign consuls enthusiastic in favor of Com
mander Ingraham's conduct, on the grounds of hui
mainly and hospitality. The only regret expressed
is that he did not go step further, and recover
Kossta at all hazards The cannon of the st. Louis
were all loaded The force arrayed against her
sisted of the Hussar frgate, twelve gun brig, and
four small steamers, each mounting ordinarily four
guns. Four guns additional to each were added du-
ring the night, but Commander Ingraham had no
doubt of his ability to cope successfully with them
ALL by dropping astern a short distance. 1t is also
said that had he known, what is believed in Wash
ington that President Pierce would have sustained
him, he would have made no compromise short of
Kossta's liberty.

THE ScoURGE AT NEW ORLEANS. Th

THE ScoURGE New ORLEANS. The New Or
leans Bee of the 4th of August says:
'The pestence still carries off its victims at the
rate of considerably one hundred per diem. 1t
seems impossible that this fightful havoc con-
tnue much longer. The aliment which epidemic
feeds will gradually be exhausted, even should the
virus itself be still living in the atmosphere We can
truly say that in our experience of the periodical
ravages of Yellow embracing twenty-one
years of continuous residence in New Orleans
have never witnessed so many deaths per day from
the disease Let any coolly reflect that the Few
er is killing two per cent of the unacclimated popu
ation every week. that is from eight to nine hundred
out of forty or fifty thousand-and then calculate
how long would take to annihiate this class of
inhabitants. 1t must however, be borne in mind,
that if eight hundred persons perish of fever in
week, four five thousand attacked so that al
lowing five recoveres for fatal case, it is almost
reduced to certainty, that in from seven to ten
weeks every unaccimated person in our city will
have the Fever. Nevertheless moderate proportion
say -fifth-may be reasonably expected to pass
through the scourge entirely unscathed. This cal
culation renders confident that the fever cannot
endure much longer than the last of August"

The WHOLE STORY Nut SHELL. The Albany
Knckerbocker, under the head of independence and
Progress tells the whole story of our Nations birth
in remarkably short paragraph for a theme so COM
prehensive The style is rather racy but decidedly
"to the point
1t is seventy-seven years ago to-day since Uncle
Sam was bOrn and what eventful seventy-seven
United States was remote circumstance they now
compose the second commercial nation in the world
In three quarters of century they have revolution
lied the World, built up an Empire, licked our Moth
er, and fenced in Continent In less time than it
took Methusalah to get out of swaddling clothes,
have made more canals, tanned more lightning, and
harnessed more steam, and at greater cost in mon
ey, than the whole revenues of the world could have
paid for the day he got out of his time In seventy
five years we have not only changed the politics of
the earth but its wearing appare-cotton shirts be-
ing as much the offspring of the United States as
ballot boXes and Democracy. Since the Fourth of
July, 1916 the whole world has been to school, and
what is better, has learned more common sense than
was taught in the previous four thousand years The
truth made immortal as Washington yellow corn.
It's adaptation to all the wants of the aspiring
Nation, has been made most signa1y manifest. I'm
der its harmonious working, republic has grown
up in ordinary lifetime that would have taken any
other system of government thousand years to have
brought about. Yes, in less time than it has taken
some greenhouse plants to arrive at maturity
have built Nation that has spread itselfrOm Maine
SO Mexico from the Atlantic to the Pacific Nation
planted more telegraph posts, and owns more steam
boats, than any Nation that has ever lived ever
will live For all this, again say, thank GOD, and
praise Thomas Jefferson"

PERMISSION WEAR Boards THE NAVY The
Portsmouth (Va.) Transcript states that Secretary
Dobbin has granted permission to those connected
with the Navy to wear their boards Orders to that
effect were received and promulgated among those at
the Norfolk station on Tuesday. The beard may be
at the pleasure of the individual, but must be
kept short and neatly trimmed Those who have
boards will doubtless feel grateful to the Secretary
for the permission thus granted.

IMPORTANT FROM CUBA
We take the following from the Washington Union
of Thursday last President Pierce may rest assured
thatt country win sustain him in any movement
he may make to arrest this impairment interference
by England in the affairs of Cuba:
IMPORTANT FROM CUBA The New York Herald
of yesterday says: " We are informed upon respec-
table authority, that demand request had been
made by order of the British government for mixed
commission authorized to search the estates and all
places IN Cuba where new importations of Africans
suspected to be sheltered and that the Spanish
government has granted the demand of England and
that the captain general has received the official
mission by the last English steamer The captain
general we understand, had previously to this auth
oriZation searched several estates and had taken
great number of negroes from them These have
been as it appears returned to their masters, and
among them those taken from Zuuetas estates, and
Zulueta himself has been removed from prison to his
own house. under arrest The object of the captain
general is probably to patch up the unjustiable act
of searching the estates of the island before any
authorization was issued for the purpose.
The present agreement between the English and
Spanish governments it is proposed by the first,
and as communicated to us, is as follows
1st. That England will consent to the importation
into Cuba of apprentices from Africa for ten years
apprenticeship.
I'd That new census of every slave in Cuba will
be formed now by mixed commission authorized
to search every estate in the island that in future
they can ascertain whether slaves have been in
troduced
3d. That in fifty years from the acceptance of
these propositions, and treaty based thereon, the
present slaves and their children will be set free
A draught embracing these main propositions has
been sent it seems to the English consul and to the
in order to consult the principal
porations and planters of Cuba, and bring the bar
gain or treaty to final settlement Judge ShaTkey,
while in Havana, we further understand, did com
municate part of this scheme to the PRESIDENT and
we are advised also that the present acting CONSUL
Mr. Robertson, has given more ample details on the
subject to the administration"
We shall probably have further and more reliable
information the foregoing subject during to-day.
Until then it would be imprudent for to say more
than that the intelligence if it turns out to be true
will receive due consideration from the government"
