HOPES TO HEAR FROM TT.

The Register learns that Gen. Dockcry is moving
about in the Northeastern part Of the State and that
he spoke on the Sd at Gates Court House, but the
Editor has no account of the speech. He says he
hopes to receive an account of the discussion
The news was bad for federalism, or the Register
would have had it almost by express. A General"
who is defeated in battle is not apt to be reported
promptly; and so it was in this case. The adher-
ents of the federal nominee, having but little if any
thing to say for him, concluded to say nothing
The Register is evidently uneasy-the General
may have forgotten his lesson, and may make more
blunders than that paper can correct He made
good beginning in this respect at Smithfeld when
he said he gave Free Suffrage the first long, big
heavy lick" when, he stated, he voted as he did
not vote in the Convention of 1885 to extend to the
people the right to elect their Governor. But Gen.
Dockery, we beg leave to the Register, is in
good hands A few more rounds from Bragg's
Battery" will disable him far that he will not be
likely to infict as much injury upon the Wing
as the Register apprehcnds. We beeseech our in
teresting contemporary, therefore, to be as calm as
the circumstances will permit. The price of guan
n.y." we glad to state, has not advanced and
the fears induged in certain quarters that farm
will not be able to purchase the article for their
"poor lands" without lift from the general gov
ernment, are now considered not we'll founded. We
shall still have "granny," if we want it, whoever
may be Governor.

The two paragraphs below, which we clip from
different exchanges, contain lesson, the moral of
which should be deeply impressed upon the mind
of every young man i'll the country:
!. "Hon. Thos +. Marshall of Kentucky, who
made such sensation twelve years ago as Tenn
perance Lecturer, has again become scottish drunk
ard"
2. "Proc Hewlett, known as Temperance Lee
turer few years ago, has again taken to his cups"
How hard it is when the demon of intemperance
has securely bound his chains about his VIC
tim, for him again to throw off his shackles |!
Young man. be not too sanguine; give no heed to
the syren whispers that you can check the habits
of excessive indulgence when once they arc formed
You cannot do it. The only safe is to remain
free from the start. The two cited in the
above paragraphs arc but samples of the thousands
that might be mentioned all around you. How ma
ny do you know, who have once become the slaves
of intemperance, that really free from. its
chains? Few-very few There may be some
but even of that small number part may yet fall,
while those who escape will do it "as by the skin
of their teeth" Then tamper not with the seduc-
tive foe, it is like playing with the fngs of the asp

Arise for the day is passinf;
while you lie dreaming on;
4 our brothers are eased In armor.
And forth to the fight are gone;
Your place in the ranks awaits you:
Zach man has part to play;
The past and the future are nothing
Ia the face Of the stern to-day
Arise from your dreams of the future
or gaining hard fought field
of storniing the airy fortresses;
;. of bidding the giant yield;
1our future has deeds of glory
vi honor God grant il mayD
But your arm will never be stronger
Or needed as now-to-day.
Arlsei If the past detain you, @
her sunshine and storms furgeti
No chains so unworthy to hold you -
As those of q vain regret
Ssd or bright, she is lifelcss ever;
Cast her phantom arms away,
Nor look back, save to learn the lesson
VI nobler strife to-day.
Arise! For the hour is passing,
The sound that you dimly hear,
Is YOUR enemy marching to battle,
Rise! rise flor the foe is near.
Stay not 10 brighten your weapons,
Or the hour will strike at last;
And, from dreams Of coming battle,
You will waken, and find il past

brilliantly illuminated with gas last night and pre-
scnted most inviting and handsome appearance.
Meats, fowl and fish abounded in the greatest pro-
FUSION and fruits and vegetables were for sale in
great varieties but not very abundant. The recent
cold spell has retarded the growth of early fruits
and vegetables noticed, among other fruits, deli
cous Strawberries and in vegetables there was quite
sprinkling of asparagus, green peas, tomatoes and
cucumbers. The gardens of the city are filled with
flowers, and the air is burdencd with the perfume of
these beautiful specimens of Gods handi-work."

W. w. AVERY, ESQ.

The last Asheville News contains Card, which
we insert below, from W. w. Avery, Esq, declining
to have his name brought before the Convention in
connection with the nomination for Governor. We
heartily concurswith the News in its tribute to Mr.
Averys past services and sterling character
Democrat. AS the News truly says: MIR. Avery
has aborcd faithfully for the Democratic party dur
ing many years. and no member of the party is more
highly or more justly esteemed. The Democracy of
this District especially, and of the State generally
feel that they owe him debt of gratitude for past
services, and when opportunity is offered, they
will gladly and cheerfully pay it. The charge of
ambition so frequently and justly urged against
politicians, cannot stand against him. His services
have been given to the cause of Democracy from
abiding sense of the soundness and purity of his
principles, and not from any desire for promotion.
Several public meetings have exprcsseda preference
for Mr.. A., and his friends will learn with regret his
determination not to offer his name to come before
the Convention"
MoRGANToS, March 2Sth, 1854.
To tile Editor Of tile Asheritle Neus:
DEAR SIR: Having received within the past week
two, several letters from Delegates appointed to
attend the State Democratic Convention, soliciting
me to allow my name to be presented before the
Convention as candidate for the nomination, beg
leave to reply to these communications through the
columns of your paper.
Considerations entirely personal would prevent me
from accepting the nomination if rendered, and
therefore desire that my name should not be used
in the Convention in that connection.
feel very grateful to my friends for the partiaty
manifested in assocating my name with so distin-
gushed position, and if ] supposed that our sue
cess in the ensuing campaign was to be affected by
my determination, should not hesitate to offer up
my private interests a sacrifice upon the altar
of our cherished principles; but there are so many
distinguished men of our party, whose names have
been mentioned in connection with the nomination,
and who combine all the elements necessary to sue
cess, that feel assured that my name can be with
drawn without impairng, in any degree our chances
for victory.
We have every reason to anticipate glorious tri-
umph at the approaching election whether our stand
ard-bearer halls from the East or from the West !;
and by union, concert, harmony and organization,
victory will be certain. AS private soldier in the
ranks my humble efforts shall be exerted, as hereto
FORE to promote the principles of the Democratic
party, believing their establishment as the fixed, per-
manent political faith of our people, will aay Sec
tional agitation and contribute to the advancement
of all the great interests of the State.
Respectfully,
Your obedent servt
