SENATOR PueR--As ELOQUENT ExraAo.-The
Cincinnati; Enquirer has brought out the following
. extrsct of speech Of the Hon. George E. Pugh,
made in that city April 9Th; 1854 Is there an Anne

ty eAmen to the patriotic and eloquent sentiments
of this extract? 1t Is worthy the reputation Of our
abest and Oldest statesman, and rejoice that it
hnds place IN the hearts Of our young, rising poll
ticians. -
Said Mr.. Pugh
'The continuance of the Union is matter of vi
tai Importance to the people of Ohio. That is the
came into being, as State, under the auspices of
the federal government and as it may stand or fall
must our fate be. If any abotionist will calcu-
late the value of the Union to US, even those
who may fill our places hereafter, let him behold
the prosperity and happiness which have fallen to
our choice. Let him depart from Sandusky with
Monday train-frst having renewed his patriotism
at the sight of those islands which the immor-
tai victory of Lake Erie was achieved-and let him
journey hitherward until the sun declines. What
vision will greet his eyes The noble State of
Ohio, but fifty years old, and yet containing two
mllons OF inhabitants; great rich, and envable will
have passed before him-a State which is not mere
ly indebted to the Union for peace and protection
for means of access to the sea- but for its poll
teal existence Arrived at this capital of western
trade and power, this queen of Cities which glasses
herselfn river proverbial for beauty let him
template here triumph of industry and enterprise
superb in design as it is magnificent in proper
tons, which, but for the Unions aid, but for the
Unions continual care, would quickly fade into des
pair and ashes Let him go hence, by the agency
of that subtle minister which enlivens so many
woudrous forms of mechanism, until he has reached
the States whichlie upon cur southern border
those fertile and sunny lands through whose allu-
won the Mississippi cleaves hundred outlets to
the gulf That, also, is his country! There, amid
the fields of verdant cane or in the groves of ctron

shade, will be found men and women to whom
Washington is likewise guiding star-whose hopes
are bound up with his hopes-whose fortunes
depend en- has fortunes-over whose homes over
his home, the government which Washington es-
tabished-the government which Washington adj

and victorious arm. If there be an American who
would discover those whom kindred aspirations,
common liberty, and the joint inheritance of SO

be an American who could even wish these things
were otherwise, pity his heart-I pity his head

ABDICATION OF SANTA ANNA

We stated in last that Gen Antonio Lopez
de Santa Anna had abdicated the government of
Mexico, and was on his way to the island of Cuba.
1t appears that he left the city of Mexico the 9th
instant, with escort of 500 men, and signed his
abdication at Perote. He embarked on the 18th in
slant at Vera Cruz for Havana. Two days after he
left Mexico eight hundred of his escort re-
VOTED, killing two of their officers. They
then Joined the insurgents. Before embarkng at
Vera Cruz, a fight occurred between two revolted
battalliops and regiment that continued faithful to
Santa Anna. The former were beaten and left for
the mountains Fifteen twenty killed be-
fore order restored.
Gen. CAIRO is provisional President, and Gen. La
Vega-who, it will be remembered, was taken pris-
oner by Col. Mays commander-in-chief of the
army. Gen. Alvarez, the conqueror, his

81 The ed Anniversary of the FAYETTEVILLE
INDEPENDENT LIGHT INFANTRY COMPANY was ceieora-
ted on Thursday last by Target Firing and Dinner.
We unable to be present on the occasion, but
learn that every thing passed off pleasantly, and that
nothing occurred to the festivities of the coca
sion. -
The Target Firing is said by judges to have been
excellent-indeed better than usual. The Prize "a
Silver Goblet,) was won by Capt. James NJ. Vann !;
and second Prize "a beautiful Evergreen, presented
by Col Lutterloh) was awarded to Mr.. Jesse Kyle.
Capt Vann's shots averaged 16 inches; Mr..
Kyle's, (second best,) 9-16j Mr.. Shadrach Sed-
berrys (third BEST - l6. Mr.. Hector Mcclellan
made the best single shot, being l5l6ths Of inch.
The presentation of the Prizes was accompanied by
a few neat and appropriate remarks by DR.. T. D.
Haigh
The annual election of officers then took place.
We should not forget to notice, that in addition to
the beautiful Evergreen presented by Col. Lutteroh,
the table was graced by a large and very handsome
Cake a present from the Messrs.. Roberts, of the
Fayetteville Hotel. We like to see these evidences
the part of citizens of the interest they feel
in the prosperity of this time honored Corps.

Bragg's maj 2O62 Demo. maj. 7031 -..
The c,.tire vote of the State in 1854 90, 34S;
the entire vote, in 1855, is 81, III The Know Moth
ings run 4, 600 votes behind Gen. Dockery, white
the Democrats run $50 votes ahead of Gov. Bragg
making clear gain, since 1854, of 1860 votes
Notwithstanding the extraordinary efforts which
were made by the Know Nothings, and the aid of
those Democrats whom they had seduced into their
midnight Councils, their candidates have failed, by
nearly five thousand votes, to poll the Wing strength
of last year; while the Democratic vote has been
actually increased II may be taken for granted,
We think, that the 600 votes referred to oppOs
ed to the KaOa0 Nothings they voted for Gen. Dock
cry, but could not be induced to endorse this new
movement of intolerance and vengeance. Many of
them by the next election, will in all probability
identify themselves with the Democratic party
This together with the additions to the Democratic
Republican vote of those Democrats who with
drawing, and who will continue to withdraw from
the Know Nothings, and the gains we shall make
from regular increase ofthe popular VOTE will place
the good old of the rights of the States, of the
Union according the Constitution, and of liberty,
civil and religious, foundation from which no as
sauts of the opposition can remove it. Meantime,
the election of President should devolve upon the
House of Representatives, We have the strongest as
surance that the of the State will be cast on
The side of Republicanism and the true principles of
The government. and not in accordance with the de-
cSon or under the order of the Know Nothing Ma
uonal Council Meantime, also, have the assur-
ahce that SO far North Carolina is concerned
one sovereign Southern State the encroachments of
tne abolltionsts will be sernly and boldly met in
both Houses of Congress; and the administration
0i franklin Pierce, which has been just and so
true to the Constitutional rights of the South, will
oe cordially upheld and sustained. 1t is, indeed, a
great victory. The Democrats, and those high mind
ed Henry Clay Wings who aided the Democrats in
achieving it, have just to be proud of it, and
70 draw courage from it for future frmness and eff.

MEETING THE DIRECTORS OF THE ATLANTIC AND
NORTH CAROLINA RAnRoAD.-The Directors of this
Company met in Newbern on the 18th inst, and
were in session several days. We learn that the
tract from Newbern to Slocum's Creek was awarded
to c. B. Wood Esq, and to Gov. Morehead from So.

located the eastern terminus Of the road. The

LATER FROM UrGH.-A despatch from St. Louis
1--WE are in receipt of dates from Great Salt Lake
to the LIST of July. The third crop of grain had
been destroyed, and the prospects Of famine were
still imminent
'sThe Hon. L. Shaver, one of the judges of the
Territory, found dead in his bed the 29th of
June, and was buried with great ceremony"
Hoes IN misunderstanding to returns to the
auditor of Kentucky, there are in that State, this
year, 1,44O,266 hogs over six months old, against
1852, 244 last year. This decrease in number is
attributed to the short cropof corn last year, which
compelled many to kill that otherwise would have
kept them year longer. The quantity of pork
raised in the State the present season. however will
undoubtedly exceed that of last year.

DEATH OF MAYOR WOODS.

I Hunter Woods, Esq, May or. of Norfolk, died on
Saturday morning last, after brf illness of yellow
fever. The Petersburg Democrat says:
"Twice called by the kind Partially of his fell
low citizens to the highest municipal office within
their gift he carried into public life all those quail
ties which adorned his private character and the
energy, and fidelity with which he discharged the
duties of his position shaned the tongue of malice
into silence and left to friendship regret but that
words should be so poor vehicle of praise. Since
the moment that the pestien first visited the city
of Norfolk he has walked the uneeasing round of
his responsible and dangerous duty with courage
and zeal which knew neither fear nor fatigue. No
remonStrance could move him from the task to which
he had devoted himself He offered his life a willing
sacrifice if Providence should fit to call him.
Wherever the pestilence ragged most fercely, and
men shrank most in terror from its approach,
Woods seen battling bravey against it, and
throwing succoring arm around its trembling vic
tins. After weeks of heroic exerton, he fell at last
Thursday eveing, after day, are told, of I'M
paraleled effort, and was carried to the hospital
Broken down with WEAKNESS and watching, his
hausted frame sunk rapidly under the terrible
scourge, and Sunday morning, despite the prayers
and labors and love of stricken people, he died.
His loss is rreparable caamity-the heaviest blow
that has befallen the afflicted cities. How heavy
then to his poor wife and four five little Children.
Be the widows husband and the orphans father
friend to them, for there never was dropped tear
the grave of noble soul than Hunter Woods !"
WHERE IS THE LETTER P-Mr. Rayner has not

letter.,
Again: The Register and Star still refuse to pub
lish Mr.. Barringer's letter of July 23rd, dated at
Saratoga, and addressed to Mr. Ellis, Washington
City. That letter throws important light upon
the subject. We have published it twice, and its
publication in the Star and Register is due, it

Dem. Mai,


In the above table we place Mr.. Smith; of Alaba-
ma, among the wings in the last Congress, we
now place him among the know-nothings in the
next. Although originally elected as Democrat
his votes in the sd Congress will justify the local..
ty in which he is placed by US, to avoid confuson
although the old-line wings might repud late the
convenience of our classification. We have likewise,
for the reason, placed Mr.. Watkins. elected in
the first district of Tennessee, in the Democratic
column. Mr.. Watkins appeared before the people
of his district, if correctly informed as an
anti-know-nothing Wing, and mainly elected
by Democratic votes. With what party he will
