MELANCHOLY SU1c1DE.-A Warning to
Young men.-Afriend writing us from Cir
c@leville, under date of June 8, says the
Portsmouth Tribune, gives the following
graphic account Of the suicide ola young
lady named Fuller, who was living with a
Mr.. Brown, in Darbyville, Pickaway coun-
ty:
"a young lady, living with Mr.. Brown
in Darbyville, drowned herself in Darby
creek, yesterday. 1t seems some young
man had been paying his address to her for
some time: on that. day he sent a note to
her by Mrs. Brown, advising her that he
did not intend to marry her, and was about
leaving the place: she read, andexclaimed,
"My God, what will become of meP' She
crossed the street, passed through a house
without noticing the family, rushed up stalrs
where the false one was at work, and caught
him round the neck-kissed him-said she
had come to bid him a long farewell. She
then ran across a field, and plunged into
water fifteen feet deep. Aman ploughing
near by, ~supposing something wrong, ran
after her, but only reached in time to see
the bubble where she had sank. She was
taken out in about two hours.
The young man fed to escape the mdig-
nation ola deeply sympathizing commu-
nifty. He will, no doubt, realize that he
cannot escape the bitter recollection of the
irreparable wrong done his u~nsuspecting
victim.

THE AMERICAN NATToN.-The West
minister Review, after comparing the CEN
sus of Great Britain with the United States,
says the whole civilized world owe respect
and gratitude to the United States for
what they are doing in education. "As
for what the American nation is to become
at its present rate of progress, is really an
overwhelming idea. There may be a dem
ocratic republic of a hundred millions of
citizens at the end of this century"

CHARLESTON, years ago, could have united with
Wilmington, and built Railroad direct connecting
the two places together. But she refused to do So
and the Committee from our town, who had visited
that city to enlist cooperation returned disappont
ed. The Manchester Road was then projected, and
is now built; and Charleston sees herself thrown off
the route-reduced to the level of mere way sta
ton-and the great mails and travel giving her the
go by. A deplorable state of things which she is
now endeavoring to remedy. One great difficulty,
however, lies in the multiplicity of schemes propos-
ed to eectuate these purposes One party advocates
the establishment of line of steam ships between
New York and Charleston Another thinks that if
Charleston would take of her best interests and
run a Road direct to Fayetteville and Raleigh, it
would be the very thing. While still another argues
that Raleigh should s be united with Cheraw and
thence to Charleston by way of the Cheraw, OAR
lington and Northeast Railroads. and finally to Sa-
vannah and Pensacola by the Charleston and Savan-
nah, and the Savannah and Pensacola Railroads.
Our neighbours it will be seen, have several irons in
the fire.
In the mean time. Raleigh smiles most graciously
at the idea of connection with Charleston; and
Fayetteville bandly intimates that whenever Char
lesion gets ready to take of her best interests
that she win find occurrence in that part of the
world. . sgsts
Railroads however, are easier talked about than
built. Wiguaingtosa Herald.

The nominee of the Convention is General Az
FRED DOCKERY, of Richmond County, who, the
Star says is "a man of sterling integrity, and great
energy of character" which is slightly altered from
what is said to be the Generals description of him
SELF VIZ IA man of great strength of intellect and
frmness of purpose" He is the same man that beat
Hon. G. w. Caldwell for Congress, few years ago,
by majority of about 1000 in a District usually
giving about 250O Wing majority. During that cam
paign he is said to have declaredthat If North Car
otinG should attempt to secee he could giDe has in
1e'ace to the General Government to force her back
into the Uneon at the cannons mouth! He has
the reputation of being great demagogue and
fussy old fogy. We presume he was nominated to
get him out of the way, through fear that he
would run any how, as his 'tfirmness of purpose"
strongly inclined him to do once before If the
Wings arc satisfied with his nomination, are de-
lighted. We know something of his standing with

Mr.. Badger of North Carolina, (whig) in his

such veneration for the Missouri Compromise

from Ohio, who had spoken so feryently of the ho-
illness OF the Missouri Compromise did, during 1860,

He was reminded by this fact of bishop of London
who once wrote a poem on the horrors Of war, in
which, with great beauty and power was shown the
utter lrreconcllabhty of with the doctrines of
Christianity Some time after, this same bishop
made a flaming speech in the house of Lords in fa-
vor of some European war. Upon being reminded
of the difference between the doctrines of his speech
and his poem he answered. My poem was not
written for this war. So it must be with the Soma
