e. Is there Wing party in North Carolina
If so, we should be glad to know what principle
all its parts hold in common. General Dockery
says he is free suffrage man the Editor Of the
Wing calls it "poor, miserable. harmless, sense
less humbug." General Dockery said if he had
been in Congress he would have voted for the Ne.
braska bill Messrs. Rodgers and Puryear voted
against it, and the Editor Of the Wing also de-
nounces it as "gilded baube.''
Again, we ask upon wha, principle is the hete-
rogeneous mass once known as The proud and de-
faint Wing party united?> To for an an.

deep, they come not"
How different is il with our glorious national
organizaton-from the seabord to the mountains
we are and have been united; striving for the es.
Enlistment of the same policy. We all free.
suffrage men by Legislative enactment-we are all

| The SIEGE OF SILIsTRIA.-The correspondent
of the London Times, writing from Slllstrla under
date Of May IL, says:
| had lust time, at the conclusion of my last
letter, of The 1th inst., to inform you OF the com
| mencement of the Russian cannonnde against this
| place, which commenced about p. NJ, and was
Immediately answered by the Turkish batteries.
1t was kept up sharply on both sides till alter z,
when the enemy began to sacken their fires, and
by o'clock had ceased entirely, the Turks having
| the last shot.
At the commencement of the firing numbers Of
the enemy's shells fell and burst among the streets
and houses Of the town, and the whole place was
soon a scene of painful northumberland women
and children rushing wildly about seeking for
| sheIter-lhe terrified inha btants collecting their
goods and hurrying to the sub,erranean rooms
which they had constructed in anticipation OF this
event; and by the time my friend and | were
mounted and on our way down to the battery on
the Schenegal bason, we found The whole OF the
streets silent and deserted. On reaching the bat.
terry we found Mussa Pasha, The commander OF
the garrison Hussan Pasha. of Turtukai celebrity
and Col. Grach, the Prussian instructor OF arille
ry and while there we were particularly struck
with the admirable manner in which the Turkish
areryrnen worked their guns. Their mortar
practice excellent, most of the shells bursting
in or Immediately over the Russian batteries.
The practice Of the enemy very slovenly,
and on the whole indifferent, as our list of casual
ties only shows chasseur and horse killed,
a peasant and child in the town wounded, and "a
trading shalop the bank Of the river destroyed.
AS instance of the carelessness Of the Russian
artillery, we found an inch shell fired by them
with the fuze uncapped, and was told this was
by means rare occurrence. Considerable |
damage. however, has been done to the buildings
of the town.
News has just come in that large body Of Rus.
SLAMS within twelve miles Of the place, and they
have succeeded in driving in cavalry outpost
at Yenikoi, with loss on our side of forty men
killed and wounded. Tomorrow may expect
to see them here.
AS to the relief of SIlistria it appears, stated
in our Geographic dispatch. that 10000 men.
French, English and Otoman rs, have been detached
for that service.

The misrepresentation Of distinguished
British author, respecting the character Of
William Penn, in . work issued . few years
ago, excited in the public mind desire for
a truthful narrative Of the life OF that estimable
man and historian worthy and competent
was found in tho person Of Ssmuel M. Janney,
q man of simple and unassuming demeanor, Of
great intelligence, Of pure TASTE and Of ire
proaohabIs integrity. This Life Of Penn was
published in 1852, and has since been extern
siyely circulated and read. Through it's in
strumeutaIity, many who had but very imper-
feet conceptions Of the excellence, the lsbors,
and the trials Of its subject have become in
formed thereof; and many, who had but little
knowledge Of The religious opinions Of FRIENDS,
and Of the conformity Of their lives to these
opinions, were disabused Of most unworthy
prejudices

Wbv he made this singular answer asked,
and he proceeded TO tell me. He had married
a German; very good woman, but not used
10 the French ways They were very poor,
and when she was i'll, land very i'll she was, OF
4 fever, after the birth Of their boy--quite out
OF her Wits he found il impossible to hire a
nurse, and in accordance with custom, he sent
the infant, but two days old, to house kept
for such purposes near Paris. The faver con-
tnued many days, and after six weeks OF SICK
ness the mother recovered sufficiently to ask 70
see her child The father was about going Tor
it, when neighbor, poor as himself who had
children ut this nursery informed him that
his child was dead There was mystery
about the matter. Hc had received no IN.
nouncement Of the fact from the establishment,
and, since the day Of the reported death, they
had continued to receive the allowance, paid
weekly, which they had demanded Full OF
anxiety he went to the house.
The circumstances accompanying his en-
trance were very suspicious. The old woman
seemed excited and Hurried when he announ.
ced his name and errand and before she
could answer, a thin, pale, half starved appari-
ton Of . little girl, crouching by the fire place,
cried out, Why, that baby's dead The
old woman gave her look, and violently con-
tradicted the assertion. A child was given to
him, certainly corresponding in age to his own ;
but so firm was the poor man in his belief that
they were imposing on him, he would not have
nursed the poor little fellow, but for fear Of the
consequences to his sick WIFE The child was
taken home, but the painful doubt remains.
