CAPT. VAL.

GA Know Nothing lodge of colorcd persons was
organized in Elmira, N Y, last week, being the
eighth of that complexion in the State. "
The above from the Baltimore Sun of Saturday,
is the latest Know Nothing news, The idea is cap
ital What earthly right have these outside barba-
men, to here and get fat the land
which of right belongs to the Native American
black? Heavens what an outrage has been perpe-
trated these IS so years the innocent wearers
of wool It must make their black blood boil to
think how they have been abused, and swindled out
of their fair inheritance the United States of North
America, by these /" darned foreigners" Clear the
track then, for the free darkies to assert their in
alienable rights by the side of their white brethren
and good sooth they have, clan, better claims
than these same brethren. For nearly fifty years
there has been importation from Africa, and by
this time the native blood must be pretty pure.
Down then with the paddles and up with the pican-
n mics.
OF course, too, they must have a representative
in the National Council, and side by with some ex-
Honorable or dis-Hororabe from Virginia or South
Carolina, will sit thick Tipped curly pated " bro
Their American" greasy and odoriferous.
Would it not be we'll to have a coorcd candidate
for the Presidency? The aboltionists would all go
for him through instinct, and &c the brethren would
be bound by their oaths to I" go in" or resign Re-
joice then, We nations, the millennium is at hand
black stock is rising and the land shall be possessed
by its legitimate native owners, the distinguished
ebony gentlemen from Africa. The bud of Know
Nothingism has burst and here's the flower.
Pets. Dem.
That is all very well for " de darkics but we
beg contemporary of the Democrat not to over
look our copper-colored friends, the Cherokee Indi
ans of North Carolina. They indeed the natives.
That blood here long before the African blood,
which seems all at once to be darkening the counscls
of -Nothingism.

PARTY BITTERNESS.

What good can the Raleigh Register expect to eff
feet for the late Wing party by the bitter spirit it is
now displaying? Whenever it is Aped the people
can be cajoled and influenced to vote for Wing can
didates, that paper is loud in its professions of no.
partyism but now, when popular elections are
pending it discloses its real character by its vndc
tive opposition to Democracy and by its coarse abuse
of prominent Democrats Thus far during this As
sembly, the Democrats have evinced liberal and
tolerant spirit They not disposed mortify the
feelings of their opponents by any useless display
Of the power with which they have been invested
By the people; what they have done has been pei
formed matter of plain duty in accordance with
principle and it will require much than the
Raleigh Register can do to be done, to
change them in the course of public policy they
have marked out for themselves. Tho election of
Democrats to the United States Senate was looked
for by the people of both parties. No could
reasonably calculate any other result; and yet
because this has been DONE and done promptly the
Register is boiling with Indignation. Its hopes
of divisions and discord in the Democratic ranks
have been disappointed; and that is of the Sc
crets of the bitter feeling it displays.
But while this rancor, this spirit of intolerance
and venom is thus manifcsting itself among portions
of the present Know Nothing" and lat, Wing
party, take pleasure in saying to our friends at
q distance that the Democrats of the Legislature,
though largely in the ascendency, and though as
firm and as fixed in their organization any pan y
could be- are nevertheless neither ovcrbcaring
arrogant towards their opponents; nor will a highly
excited condition of parties, if brought about dur
ing this session, be justly chargcabe to them. The
leading object of the Democrats is t. take up and
conclude, at carly day possible, the business
which they sent here to do; and in bringing
on the various elections they have done soon
after the commencement of the session, they have
taken an important, and may add Indispensable
step towards the accomplishment of this object.
The Register may fret and vituperate, and man.
ufacture as it so we'll knows how, any quantity of
"small potato wit; yet it will produce no other
effect than to excite ridiculc of its weakness and
f. ly. The days Of Wing power i'll North Carolina
arc ended. 1t is well that it is so. The Register
may not provoke to fight the battle DER again"
by showing how and why it is So but the fact is
palpable Henceforth as for the past four years,
the State Is Democratic. The party bitterness cvinc
ed by the Register will not, under the circumstances
add one vote to the Wing cause

NEW YORK, Nov. 2S.-The steamer Empire City,
from Havana with dates to the 3d. arrived here to-
day. Reports of risngs in various parts of the Is
land quite plentiful but it is believed all are
without foundation. 1t was said that court mar

returned Creoes to be shot, and that the sentence
was carried into execution. .-.
The gay season had commenced at Havana with
brilliant festivities.
A company of wharf negroes drew prize of

Schools are to be-established at Havana, in which
all the arts and Sciences to be taught gratis
New rules have been issued for the suppression

So far the presiding officers of both Houses are
concerned, we cannot but regard the selections as
eminenty judcious. Mr.. Winslow is well known
to all readers gentleman of ability and cour-
teous manners; cool, impartial and decided, he will
preside over the Senate with dignity and efficiency.
Still in the prime of lfe yet with all the advantages
of an extensive knowledge of men land things, his
decisions WILL doubt, be prompt, and at the same
time, cautious and accurate.
With Mr.. Hill we have no personal acquaintance,
but we know that few men of his age in the State
enjoy higher reputation or more general popu-
larty He has been repeatedly member of the
House and is therefore familiar with its rules and
business He s,we are told, of highly popular man
ners, and can hardly fail to give satisfaction as
speaker of the House.

az The Richmond Enquirer has these forcible
remarks in relation to the Know Nothings and the
Abotionists
g 1t is amazing that there should be found at the
South any allies of the secret Vaccinations ofKnow
NothIngism, in view of the garng fact that in the
recent elections in the non-slave holding states the
Abotionists and Know Nothings, with rare excep-
tons co-operated. In Massachusetts, Ohio, Indi-
ana and Pennsylvania, these two disorganizing and
constitution breaking factions supported the same
tckets-tickets formed with reference to the over
throw of slavery; and whose principles, if carried
out into practice by the action of the Federal Gov
ernment will crush the South and instantly dissolve
the Union-not single member of Congress is elect
ed by a combination of Northern Wings Cor Adolf
tionists) and Known othngs who is not in favor
OF the repeal of the Nebraska BILL the restoration of
the Missouri antslavery restriction the abrogation
OF the fugitive slave law; and who will not go to the
death against the acquisition of Cuba Even in
New York, where the Know-Nothings made a sepa-
rate nomination for Governor we have the word of
the New York Tribune that large portion of them
repudIated the nomination of the Ullman convention
and vowed their allegiance Clarke the Abolition,
Wing and Maine liquor law candidate. In Massa-
chusetts, Gardner, the triumphant gubernatorial
candidate OF the Know-Nothings openly boasts that
he has always been advocate for the repeal or
modification of the fugitive slave law, that he in
favor OF the fusion of the Wings and Free-soilers
that he never did and never will vote for man who
is or has been in favor of the fugitive slave law and
that in June last he signed memorial to Congress
Tor its unconditional repeal"

HOME AND FRIENDS.

oh there is power to make each hour
As sweet as heaven designed it:
Nor need we roam to bring it home, Es--.
Though few there be who find it. g
We seek too high for things close by,
And lose what nature found us;
Forlife hath here no light so dear
As home and friends around US.
We oft destroy the present joy,
For future hopes and praise them,
Whilst flowers sweet bloom at our feet,
If we'd but stoop to raise them!
For things afar still sweetest are,
When youths bright spell hath bound us:
But soon we're taught that earth has naught
Like home and friends around US.
The friends that speed in time of need,
When hopes last reed is shaken,
To show you still, that, come what will,
We are not quite forsaken.
Though all were night, if but the light
From friendships altar crowned us,
'Twould prove that bliss of earth was this,
Our home and friends around us

that if the Russians should receive large reinforce

NORTH CAROLINA BANK NOTES rumor having
reached Petersburg that the Commercial Bank of
Wilmington the Bank of Washington and the Bank
of Wadesborough, n. c., had suspended specie pay
ments Mr.. j. F. Simmons gentleman of \. Carroll
ma, contradcts the rumor through the Petersburg
Express. He says:-" am aware that the money
market is tight every where, and banks closing
in almost every State, and possibly some of ours
may be caugh in the great maelstroom, but don't
like to them put there by Madame Rumor till
they there in fact. beLiere all our banks
safe, and they stand upon a firm basis and kp0s0
that there is no ground for supposing otherwise at
present. But, suppose the rumor for suspension
true, the holders of the notes, especially Of the
Wilmington and Wadesborough banks, would do
themselves injustic to submit to any loss them,
for the stockholders in their individual capacity
responsible, and am personally acquainted with
many of those stockholders, and know them to be
of wealth."
within the last two or three days. raised the price
of exchange on North Carolina notes to four per
cent. a rise occasioned, probably, by the above
NOR; and some of our citizens, yesterday, refused
to receive them in business transactions. We know
not the cause of their depreciation, and shall not
ourselves venture any advice to holders the sub
ject. Our confidence in the solvency of such North
Carolina notes have generally been in circulation
amongst u.s. is still of sufficient strength to enable
us to say that they will be received at par value in
payment of dues to our office. The editor of the
Express Petersburg, where these notes circulate
very freely, advises all who hold them not to part
Richmond Enquirer.
OF course all of must feel very grateful towards
the Enquirer for such confidence in the solvcncy
of North Carolina notes" as to enable it to say
that they will still " be received at par value in pay
ment of dues " to that office.
There is considerable run, just now, upon our
Banks for specie; and this demand, we learn comes
to small extent from spectators in Norfolk, Pc
tersburg and Richmond The Banks in this State
have VIC believe. been generally we'll managed; and
we do not doubt they will go through the present
financial crisis quite successfully the Virginia
Banks. There is good reason for asking in Rich
mond four per cent. discount North Carolina
notes and those citizens there who have been re-
using them in business transactions must be either
not in want of funds very timid.
The rumor of the insolvency of the Farmers
Bank, Elizabeth City, turns out to be unfounded.
That institution may have met with some reverses,
but it has not suspended specie payments, nor
is it at all probable that it will do

STILL IN DOUBT Although the election in New
York took place two weeks ago. the question still is
asked, " Who is the govcrnor?" Up to Saturday
evening we did think that Governor Seymour
reelected and gave expression to the thought in
much more positive language than are in the
habit of employing but, since that time, we have
received information in regard to the reported action
of the county canvassers which savors marvelously
of intention to cipher Gov S. out of his election.
1t is said that large number of ballots sufficient
ly large to place Clark ahead-have beep rejected
by the county because they read II. Sey
mour - in the place of &c Horatio Seymour" 1t
mains to be seen whether the State canyassers will
or will not adopt this contemplate bubble for their
rule of action. If it should be adopted, an appeal
doubt will be taken to higher and more respon-
sbe tribunal.
The aggregate vote of the State has proved to be
heavier than generally anticipated.
According to the Albany Argus. the official re-
turns from all the counties, except Schuyler and
Putnam, foot up as follows on governor:
Clark 154,S69
Seymour 154, 500
Ullman 121O5O
Bronson $500
