MR.. BRANCH.

Mr.. Branch, the Democratic candidate for Con-
gress in this District addressed the people at Louis
burg on Tuesday last, and replied to by Mr..
Shepard, the Know Nothing candidate Mr.. Branch
spoke at Prattsburg, Orange, Thursday at Hills
borough on Friday; and he will spcake at Mangums
Store, Orange, on Saturday the 10th, and at Laws,
Wake, on Tuesday the 10th. On the Goth the reg
ular appointments of the two candidates will COM
mence.
We learn that Mr. Branch delivered a very able
speech at Louisburg; and that Mr.. Shepard's reply
was pretty much the same speech he made in this
place-eeble, in many respects indefinite, and
or less interlarded with appeals to the prejudices
the fears, and the passions of the people. friend
has furnished US with synopsis of Mr.. Branch's
remarks, which shall appear in next.
The Democrats of Franklin are in high spirits
and will, we learn, poll their full strength. Mr.
Shepard cannot, it is believed, command the full
Wing vote of the county.

The chances are now, we think, that every Know

A Correspondent of the Wilmington Journal Civ
ing account of the late examination of Edgeworth
Female Seminary, Greensborough, speaks in the
following complimentary terms of the address deliv
cred by Mr. Dick the occasion:
1.-THE interest and attractiveEess of these examina-
tons and exercises increasing and heightening
every hour until they reached their climax in the
closing proceedings of Thursday night Previous
to the diplomas being conferred the Senior Glass,
an address was delivered to its members by Robt.
P.s Dick, Esq. 1t is hardly possible to speak N
too high terms of this most beautiful address. From
the reputation of the orator a chaste and elegant
writer, well graceful speaker, the expectations
and antcipatons of his large and intelligent audience
very high but not was prepared for such
flow of highest thought, couched in Language of
greatest beauty, that held the hushed multitude in
fixed attention as I" from his lips there flowed the
words, the honey now so sweet" His subject was
{" The Literature of the Bible !" and with mas
ter's hand he touched upon its historic vaue-its
heaven-born philosophy-its divine legisation-its
sublime ethics-he gradually rose with his subject
until, with the orators powers and the poets fervor
he made every heart beat higher when, in language
almost equal to their own, he dwelt upon the rapt
melody of Israers bards, and in peroration of ex-
ceedng beauty, elegance and Affection pressed upon
the young ladies the study of the Book of books as
that which alone could give the browning honor to
all their studies"

IMPORTANT FROM EUROPE.

The Atlantic, which arrived at New York on the
18th, brings important news.
Several sanguinary conflicts had taken place be-
fore Sevastopol between the allies and the Russians,
to the serious loss of the latter The French gained
an important position and retained it, before Sevas-
topol the Russians rereatng from that point nearer
to the City. Eight thousand were killed and woun-
ded, mostly with the bayonet The allies are mas
tiers Of the of Azoff.
The commercial news is also important. Cotton
has advanced halfpenny, and market much excited.
Sales of the week $50 900 bales Breadstuffs dull.
The AMERICAN ADvocATE.-We have received
the first number of paper with this title publish
ed at Kinston, Lenoir, by Walter Dunn Esq. 1t
IS neatly printed and its Editorials well written 1t
is Know Nothing of course, and will live three or
six months, and no longer, unless sustained by Mr.
Dunn's own private means. We regret to see MIR.
Dunn striking out in so bad cause: By the way,
we observe he publishes letter puporting to have
been written by Gen. Washington to Gouyerner Nor
ris, dated White Plains, oath July, ITS. We deny
that Gen. Washington ever wrote such letter, and
call on Mr.. Dunn for the proof.
R1DIcULoUs-The Sentinel, Elizabeth City, brings
out its cannon over the account of the discussion at
that place between DIR. Shaw and Mr. John Pool.
It is quite evident from the Sentines own account
that DIR. Shaw demolished Mr.. Pool The idea of

the dark-lanterns would have the people believe
that their great men are as plentiful backberries

The KNOW NOTHING NATIONAL CHAPLAIN
Guess, if you can, reader, who the Know Nothing
Convention at Philadelphia has elected national
Chaplain Baptist, Methodist Presbyterian,
an Epscopaan, Congregationalist? None of
these, but Universalst that is, Chaplain who
holds that all souls will be saved-that the robber
and murderer will enter Heaven step by step with
the humblest Christian! Surely this is very con-
venent, and, in one respect, sensible movement on
the part of the dark.lanterns for their Chaplain,
so far mere preaching is concerned, will save
them all in the next world, no matter what they
may do or omit to do in this. Still we think that
consistency required them to elect Mormon Chap
lain, since that is the only native rcligion-a 9TH
ers, Protestant and Catholic, being of foreign orr
gin.

The Register and its Correspondents endeav-
oring to produce the impression that the Democrat
ic Club of this City holds its meetings in secret.
They do not charge this directly, but, like real
Know Nothngs-the breath of whose nostrils is de-
ceit and evasion-they insinuate it. The Demo
Gratis and anti-know Nothings meet in the Court
House, with open doors and lights burning No
oath depriving men of the exercise of their own
Will or of free thought is required as preliminary
to admission but all invited to come, and OBJ
serve, and hear. The meetings held at night,
because mechanics and laboring and business men
generally more conveniently spare the time to
attend in the night than in the day.
The Hillsborough Recorder is also very much
exercised in spirit because the Democratic meetings
here held at night; and that paper, printed some
thrty-fve miles away states that the candles in the
Court House chad nearly given out when Mr.. Branch
concluded, and all would have been in darkness had
not the Know Nothings taken the precaution to fur
nish other candles and keep up the light" This is
not so. Some of the Know Nothings may have had
dark-lanterns in their pockets, ready to be used
the emergency might require; but nothing of the
sort referred to by the Recorder occurred. Has
the Recorder heard the rumor that the Know Moth
ings much opposed to the use of sperm oil in
their darklanterns because it is foreign" article,
tnat tney are making preparations LOT SUBSTITUTE
in the way of catfish oil? They despair,
derstand, of growing whales in american" waters
in sufficient numbers to meet the american" de-
mand for sperm oil and so they intend to resort to
the native catfish. We congratulate the order upon
this movement. The catfish, aside from the
fact that its oil is native production, is a much
better symbol of the Order than the whale; for it
lies about in dark places, its horn to annoy and
iniure when least expected and delights in muddy
water.
