Brunswick County.

1t will be seen by the proceedings in another COL
umn, that the Democrats of Brunswick county have
nominated for the House of Commons, from that
County, Col. CASTOR Meares, gentleman of talents,
high character and popular manners, and one who
would represent the County with credit and ability.
We are pleased to learn that our friends sangune
of success and will make strong and united effort
TO secure it,
A gentleman of Brunswick county, who was pre-.
sent at the meeting that the very best feel
ing prevailed upon the occasion, and that the report
of the meeting does but simple justice to the able
and effective speech delivered by Nj. B. Smith, Esq,
in response to the call made upon him. His expo
sure of the fallacies propagated by General Dockery
and his friends upon the sub ject of the Public Lands,
was clear, convincing and satisfactory. and will tell
at the election in August next.
IMPROVEMENT CAPE FEAR RIvER.-Mr Badger,
in the u. S. Senate on Wednesday, presented the
proceedings of a meeting recently held in Whining
ton, N. c., in favor Of improving the Cape Fear Riv
err with view to aid from Congress for that obi ect.
Gov Reid, we understand, dotted his democracy for
the nonce, and went in strong y for the Wing doc
rine of the constitutional competency OF Congress
in the premises What next? Will not Gov. John
follow suit and lend hand to the removal of the
bar in James river.
simply for the purpose of saying that it misrepresens
or misunderstands Gov Reds position at least SO
far as the constitutional competency of Congress is
concerned. In going strongly for the work on the
Cape Fear Bar, Gov. Reid did not dofs his Democ-
racy " nor did he assume any grounds of the oppo-
site party The competency of Congress in the premi-
ses has never, that aware of, been called in
question, but the contrary been admitted and
serted repeatedly by the highest Democratic author
ity. That our wing friends agree with US we are
pleased TO know.
AS to what Gov. Johnson of Virginia is TO do in
any case we cannot pretend to say We are not SC
fond Of interfering in the affairs of that State some
of Norfolk cotempories to be in the affairs
of this, especially in matters which do not under
stand or about which we ale not Informed. One Of
these matters is the bar in James River 1t is pity
that similar reserve did not more generally mark
the course of some of our Virginia contemporaries
who seemed 10 have taken North Carolina unde
their especial charge.

The Boston Post.

warm tribute of admiration is due this noble
journal for its uniform, consistent and manly vndi
cation of the Constitutional rights OF the South and
especially for its most gallant and patriotic bearing
through the recent trying scenes in Boston. From
first to last, there has been no compromise OF the
right or of Justice; fear of fanatcism, in any way
or shape no wavering no trucking TO expedlency
or policy no, not for moment. To stand by the
rights OF the South in the South requires no more
courage and self-sacrice than it does to be Free
Soiler in the North. But it does require moral hero
ism of the Hottest kind in the midst of antisavery
atmosphere charged with all the elements Of destruc
ton, to maintain and uphold the requirements OF the
Constitution and to resist to the death the nhiction
of wrong and injustice upon distant and hated
people
We honor from our souls such journals as the Bos-
ton Post and the gallant and faithful men of Massa:
chuses who spirit represents in its enlightened and
patriotic columns
To the above, from the Richmond Despatch, we
say Amen Every word of it is true and every CON-
plment deserved. We have been constant readers
of the Post for years. and in its we have seen
no variation or shadow of turning. To those who,
in such an atmosphere that of Boston stand up as
the Editors of this Post do, word of frank and cor
dial acknowledgment at least, is due from the South
Ours is heartily and warmly given.

Express Trains.

The idea of running express trains, was first
put into practice by Mr.. Stephenson, on the
line from Manchester to Liverpool.
BY adopting long boiler, six wheel engines
of great power, and making few stoppages
on the road Stephenson succeeded in Carrying
passengers from London to Liverpool, dis
lance of PIP miles, in four hours and quar-
ter, being at the rate Of fifty miles an hour,
stoppagcs included.
The Great Western Express, from London
to Exeter, England, is made to 60 at the rate
of sixty miles an hour, including stoppages.
Surprising the locomotive which draws such
train, to have driving wheels seven feet in di-
ameter, those wheels will revolve five times in
Il second; the valve moves, and the steam cs-
capcs, ten times in second but as there are
two cylinders which act alternately, there are
really twenty puffs or escapes of steam in u
second. Such locomotive speed is equal to
nearly Onc-fOurth of that of Il cannon ball :;
and the momentum of whole train. moving
at such speed, would be nearly equivalent in
the aggregate force of a number of cannon
balls equal to onefourth the weight of the
train.
The State Of Name says that arrangements
have just been completed, for running, on and
after the I'd October, an express train from
Boston to Portland, and Portland to Quebec
in one day. This will then be the shortest
and quickest route possible between New FORK
and Quebec.-RaiirOdd Record.

An exciting political canvass for the cleo
ton of Judge of the Circuit Court has just
been concluded by our neighbors of the Madi-
son wis., Judicial District. The candidates
were COLLINS and HOOP, between whom and
their respective friends the bittercst personal
warfare was waged. The Argus of the Goth
has the following, which we publish as COM
mentary on the absurdity of bringing down
our Judiciary TO the level of party politics:
"When rowdyism seeks seat upon the
bench of justice violence and outrage take pos
session of the highway. Mr.. Rogers, who was
an active friend of Col. Collins at the polls yes
tcrday, was last night followed by several
friends of Hood, to the 50 Railroad Exchange >
for the avowed purpose of Offering him per-
sOnal violence. AT the Exchange an at
tack was made upon Rogers when three broth
crs Gibson, from Portage, who were stopping
in the house, and DIR. Fcss, interfercd in his
behalf. One of the Gibsons was stabbed with
knife through the lungs, and is now dying
Rogers, in warding blow off Gibson, was cut
through the hand, and DIR. Fcss got slight
flesh wound
Michael Haggerty was apprehendcd for the
stabbing, and taken before Justice Seymour
this morning.

SUIcIDE.-A man, whose name we did not
learn, committed suicide in this city, Thursday
night by hanging himself to a willow tree,
near the railroad bridge, where his body was
found yesterday morning. He was an English
man by birth, aged about 80, and had lost a
leg in the Mexican war. For some time past,
he has been seen by most of our citizens, ped
ding cheap glassware on the street, hand
basket containing his store. We are informed
that he was sometimes Incorporate, and proba-
bly, he destroyed his own life in fit Of des-
pondency. The act appears to have been
deliberately done. He first attempted to hang
himself to the tree with rope, but it broke
from his weight. He then took the straps of
his wooden leg, and fastened them to the tree,
with his neck in moose, while his body sat
upon the wooden leg and in that position his
body was found lileless, at the time stated

There are rumors of new propositions be-

TRANSFERRED.
a correspondent of the London Times, wri-
ting from Narna, under date of September s,
says:
9Th, opinions of the Austrian Government
rs they have been communicated to its diplO-
matte agents abroad, may be given in few
words. These are, that Austria still looks on
the guarantee demanded by the Western Pow
erS as the only basis for a durable peace, and
will therefore at the same time she maintains
her armed neutrality neglect no opportunity of
urging Russia to accept them. The writer
says that the Prussian Government is ever in
clined, as before, to make common cause with
the three Powers; the excuse for holding back
being that the Emperor Nicholas has, at the
demand of the German Powers, consented to
quit the Turkish territories, and therefore does
not feel herself called upon to actively interfere
in the dispute between the Western Powers
and Russia"
The news from the Baltic is that no further
movements will be undertaken there this sea-

A New FIRE ESCAPE Yesterday a
number of persons were drawn together in
the Park, in front of the new Court House,
to witness the trial of a newly invented Fire
Escape.
The apparatus consists of a very strong
canvas receptacle, furnished with sheet
iron rim, through the centre of which passes
brace of the same material, which at the
same time serves the occupant to hold Oh by
and preserve his equilibrium, as also to have
rope attached by means of which connect
ed with wooden bar and pulleys, placed
in a horizontal position across window,
enables the besieged persons to descend. A
number of fiat wooden bars easily fitting in
to each other, with a hook Oh top, affords
the means Of sending the Fire Escape to any
height.
The exhibitor undertakes to have it in
readiness and in operation within two min
utes and proposes that each Police Station
be supplied with and become accustomed to
the use of it.-N Y Times.

New ERA IN NAvIGAr1oS.-The racept.on

For q screw steamer she made admirable time,
anticipating the Atlantic by two or three
days. The Ottawa did not. however, encoun-
ter the heavy winds which prolonged the pas
sage of the Atlantic. Our Canadian friends
may well be proud of the success OF their first
eajrts in ocean steam navigation. If regu-
lar line of fast steamers is established to run
between Quebec and England, it will be Of
immense advantage not only to that city, but
10 the whole Provinces.

E. S. GooDRIcH,
Secretary,

1t has been for some days current ru-
NOR about town, that Gov. RAMSEY and
WIN. HoLLLNsHEAD are to be placed togeth-
er on the RICE and SCHUYLER Swndling
Railroad Fusion Legislative Ticket. This
announcement has taken scores of men by
surprise, who having lived in st. Paul five
years back, remember the past position of
these gentlemen towards each other 1t is
within their recollection, that at time
when dark suspicious and even positive be
liefS were current throughout the Territory
that the then Executive of Minnesota had
prostituted his official position, and become
participation in enormous frauds upon the
Indians under his jurisdiction, that WILLIAM
HOLLINsHEAD was among the fercest of
those who denounced him, and urged his ar
rest by the general government as gigan-
tic swindlcr. These early residents also re-
member, as one of the incidents of those
times, that the same WILLIAM HoEINsHEAD
was one of the instigators of mob who
made every preparation to burn his ex-Ex-
cellency in effigy before his own door, in tcs-
timony of his adherence of his ex-Excelen-
cy's assumed crimes These old residents
recollect further, that the most open and
bitter luminosity has since existed between
these two, down to the time when the Rail-
road swindle was sought to be perpetrated
upon the people. These old residents, thus
familiar with their antecedents, have been
amazed to find Gov. RAMSEY and his old
tormentor now lovingly locked together in
the close embrace of their present fellow
ship. And, exercise whatever charity they
can, these old residents attribute their pres
ent affiliation to other causes than that
Christian Forgiveness, whereupon St. JAMES
the Apostle was wont to be most touching
ly eloquent.
