The Raleigh Register of the 29th ultmo, heads an
article General Dockery and his Revers, in which
the Editor tries to produce the impression that the
General is "abused and reviled" by the Democratic
party. Not so Mr.. Editor; and you know it, and
you only trying to produce the impression that
it is so, in order to excite sympathy. Such stuff
will have weight upon intelligent and enlight-
ened people. The people know that the Whig party
will resort to almost any scheme to carry their point
Ours is righteous cause the people of North Car
olina with us; and expect to carry the State
with at the coming Elections, for Governor and
all without resortng to stratagcm. Give us open
field and fair fight and our victory is certain.

The temperature along the Atlantic coast is said
to be modified to very great extent by the pres
ence of ce-bergs floating down from the higher
Northern attitudes These have been exceedingly
numerous this spring, indeed so much as to render
1.-The passage to and from Europe rather dangerous.
The prevalence of South winds, carly this season,
may nave freed these huge masses, while, by the
change of wind to the North, they have been blown
way Of accounting the popularity of the season.

RoBEsoS SUPERIOR CorRr. This Court was in
session last week, Judge Saunders presiding On
Wednesday, John Blake and Calvin Mcqueen were
indicted for burglary, highway robbery and grand
larceny. The case was removed from Richmond,
and as there was no evidence to support the count
for highway robbery, it abandoned; but the
trial proceeded the charge of burglary and grand
larceny. The principal witness for the State was an
accomplice named Ncill Mckimmon, whose testi-
mony being corroborated by that of numerous res
pectable citizens the prisoners after trial of two
days, were convicted.
On Friday, Shadrack Williams free man of color,
was tried and convicted of being concerned in the
same robbery. The Court sentenced Blake and Nc
Queen to receive thrty-n lashes each and enter
into their own recognizance to appear at the two
next tcrms of the Court and have the whipping re-
peated-the object being to make them leave the
State.
Shadrack Williams was fined one thousand dol
lars being unable to pay, he was hired out for five
years.
Ora Carter, an unmarried woman, was found
guilty of concealing the birth of her child and
sentenced to six months imprisonment

Mr.. HENRY PIERCE Among all the charges that
have been brought by reckless and inscriptions
opposition against the present administration that
OF nepotsm or favortism to relations, cannot GER
tany be preferred as will be apparent from the fol-
lowing incident:
One day last week, says the Boston Times num-
Der of worthy and substantial farmers and drovcrs
who had been attending the Cambridge Cattle Mar
ket congregated in the temporary depot at Porters
Station, and the conversation turned on politics
Some of the assembly were either Wings or Free
soilers, and the way the Nebraska Bill, the Pres-
dent, Judge Douglas ETC., were handled was eau
ton to the friends of non-intervenron. Presently
sturdy-ooking farmer with clear pair of eyes and
an honest face, put question to the most violent Of
the declaimers- out-and-out Abolitionist-which
Immediately attracted the attention of the whole
company to himself The conversation then pro-
ceeded but had not progressed very far before the
sophistries of the Abotionist exposed and re-
futed by. the plain common sense arguments of the
farmer. This was acknowledged on all sides, ex-
cept of course, by his opponent; and satisfied with
his victory, the farmer modestly retired from the
place leaving the company at liberty to scan his ar
guments and guess about himself at their leisure
" lie talked like a book, said one. "Yes-I hard
ly thought he was SO well posted up" said another
" He looked rough, but talked like lawyer" OBJ
served third. "But who is heg" was the question
now generally put At this moment, Murray, the
depot MASTER who had been quietly listening their
speculatons stepped forward, and in his quiet and
peculiar way, said: "Gentlemen, that is Mr.. Henry
Pierce, of Hillsborough County, New Hampshire
brother Of the President Of the United States"
And that was true. We learn that Mr.. Pierce
regularly attends the Cambridge Cattle Market eve
ry week, with some of the products of his fine farm
in New Hampshire, and is everywhere esteemed as
an honest high minded, intelligent and patriotic
American citizen. What an interesting spectacle
does this present? Here was the brother of the
Chief Magistrate of of the greatest nations on
the face of the globe-a person qualified to fill many
responsible posts, yielding handsome pecunary emo
lumcnts-pursuing the hard and humble but ennob-
ling calling of an American farmer, while word
from his brother in office could place him where his
purse might be easily and lawfully gorged with the
glittering cash of the public treasury This is ono
among the many instances of the single heartedncss
and unselfishness of the present President Of the
United Statcs-FRANKLIN PIERCE!
