YEAsr.-The bitterness Of yeast; which
is often cause of complaint, may be re-
moved by straining it through bran or
by dipping red hot charcoal in it,
But the most effectual and easily availa-
Bile remedy is, to put the yeast in large
pan and cover it with spring or well
water, changing it every three or four
hours. The bran seems to impair the
strength. and coal sometimes stains 10,
but the water purifss it in color and in
taste.

How TO MAKE UANbLEs.-Candle:
wick, if stepped into lime and saltpetre,
and dried in the eun, will give a clearer
light and be.less apt to run. Good cam
dies may be made thus: Melt together
ten ounces of mutton tall0a, a quarter
of an ounce of camphUr; four ounces of
beeswax, and two ounces of aiumi then
run it into nioulds or dip the candles.
These candles furnish a beautiful light.

Death of LORD Fitzgibbon.-CrueltY
of the RuG0iRm9.

Lord Fitzgibbon's death is now quite
certain. The poor young fellow had
been seen by his men, as they retreated,
pursued by the Russians, sitting up,
though very severely wounded and it was
hoped he might go still alive. A dead
body, supposed to be his, had been
brought in, but it was subsequently, as
certained that it was mistake. The
Russians stripped our dead. Then
lancers were seen killing the wounded as
they lay on the field This is credita-
bly, affirmed by many witnesses of the
horrible deed.

Terrible Riot In RrnoklYn

A riot broke out in Brooklyn, on Sunday afternoon
between some Irish Catholics and number of per-
sons who had been to hear street preacher, and
who were returning in procession 1t is said, that
as the procession was going down Main street from
Smith, it was fired upon from houses on the
line of march, and or killed, and SO or 60 wound
ed. An Irish Company, the Shields Guards, was
reported to be out in full force, and shooting down
Americans. These were the first reports, and, Of
course greatly exaggerated. Only two persons were
killed. Boy and policeman Those injured were
chiefly the part of the Irish, who it appears, re-
sisted the police The report about the Shields Guards
was made out of the whole CLOTH as it appears that
not only did that company not shoot any body but il
not on the ground at all. Naturally great ex
element was aroused in New York, where even more
exaggerated rumors were ia circulation. A meeting
was held in the Park, where it resolved tina
those present arm and 60 to Brooklyn to release the
comrades The military were called out, however
and the evening passed off without any fresh out
break. Several of the ori ginal assaants were ar
rested.
Such occurrences as these cannot be too deeply re
GREETED, not only on account of their immendi
wrong, but because of their tendency to stir up last
ing animosities, founded upon religious diferen ces
well as jealousles and hear-burnngs between ma
tive and adopted citizens, of the intensity and charac
ter of which the people of the South happily
able to form opinion. We sincerely trust that tn,
guilty parties will be brought TO merted punishment
The Baltimore Sun justly remarks, that there ha
been to much cause to apprehend outbreak of thi
character for time past in the gradual disafec
ton which has been growing up between the native
and mmi grant population of several of the Atlantic
cities. Intelligent and peaceably disposed men, how
ever must see that personal violence, under any cir
cumstances, is causeless, nexcusabe, and thai
useless, come from whom it may. If the "Knov
Nothing" movement-avowedly sectarian and pro
scriptive IN It's character as we'll as bitterly host
to all citizens of foreign BIRTH calculated to stir u,
feelings among those attacked and whose interests
is supposed to put in eopardy.no worse plan of de
fence could have been adopted, than by resort t
violence. Again we say that such resort is inexcu
sable under any circumstances, and should be re
pressed and punished with the utmost rigor of tn

The Legislature.

Without relaxing one honorable effort 10 secure
the triumphant election of Thomas Bragg, the able
and worthy candidate of the Democratic party for
Governor the members of that party should also di-
rect their serious attention the still important
object of securing to the party that power and inhu
ence in the Legislative Branch of the government 10
which it's undoubted p,eponderance in the popular
vote justly entities it. We need hardly add, in this
connection that under the constitution of North Caro-
lima, all the important political powers of the State
vested in the Legislature of which the Governor
is not coordinate ranch as he is in some cases.
In North Carolina in other States similarly sit
uated any division want of harmony in the ranks
of the dominant party, may easily throw the powe:
into the hands of the minority or at any rate, totally
ueutralize that of the majority. This was actually
the in this State two years ago, where divisions
or ssplits' in decided Democratic counties opened
the way for the election of sufficient number Of
wings to place the Legislature in such position that
few faconiss wele able to clog The wheels of egis
laton prevent the election of United States Senator
and defeat all the objects which The Democratic party
had in view, and which it justly looked forward to
with full confidence of success. We do not wish 10
fatigue ou readers by enumerating counties in which
these splits occurred, neither do we wish to renew
enough to say that it is known that they did exist
and that they did produce the effects we have stated
So much for the past. We hope that these mlsor-
tunes will serve a good purpose in the future by
teaching US lessons of harmony and mutual forbear-
ance--of organization and adherence to that oganiza-
ton.

made, and in they have not, but will shortly be
Let US again and again urge upon our Democratic
brethren the necessity of allowing circumstances
10 induce them TO throw away dissipate their
strength by useless and hurtfu divisions among
themselves, which can only enure to the advantage
of the opposition.
The New Hanover County Convention meets here
on Tuesday next We trust that it will be full and
the results of its deliberations satisfactory We feel
confident that the nomination will fall upon good
men and true Democrats. More We do not care for

FAYETTEVILLE FLoUR.-Some facts have recently
come to our knowledge showing the estimation in
which Flour from this Market is held where 1t is
known.
days ago for merchants in this place by Malett &
Paulmer, at &c. to arrive being SO to IS cts, above
the sales at the same date of extra Northern -four,
and only 25 cents below the sales of choice brands
of Southern that is, of Richmond and Baltimore flour
After the arrival of the America they sold other lots
of Fayetteville -four at 50 25
People are so given to relying upon outside appear
ances that Fayetteville Flour because not put up in
fine barrels, is deprecated abroad and even in our
neighborlng town of Wilmington with all its North
Carolina feelng) never brings within dollar or two
of the price of an inferior Northern article. AS to
what Should be its standing are authorized to state
the following fact Charles P. Mallet. ESQ., formerly
of this town and now OF the above house Of MaIlett
& PauImier, of New York. we'll knowing the quail
ties of Fayetteville Flour, months ago presented
Baker of that city with barrel of superfne to try
assuring him that it would make more bread than
any -four he could get. The result was, that it &C
tuay made 12 per cent. more of bread than the
Northern -four. This -four at once secured custo
mers for Fayetteville -four, and that house was ena
bled to realise, by actual saes from so to 624 cents
per barrel more than other commission houses in New
York.
Again, we understand that some Fayetteville -four
shipped by merchants of this place from Wilmington
direct TO Liverpool, examined particularly by th
hour brokers tnere ana pronounced OF the very mrs
quality, worth cd. more than the best Philadelpn;
and Baltimore four.-FayetteUrHe Obs.
The truth is that at present there is little or M
Northern -four brought to this market. Perhap
some little Hiram Smith -four, an extra brand, i
brought and sold but generally speaking Faye,te
vile Flour alone is used The Fayetteville Flour i
quite equal if not superior TO any Northern -four
