City has been carried by the Know Nothings by a
handsome majority. Partial returns from the inte-

Americans. The contest is between the Americans

bAsWe find in the Cincinnati Home
journal a letter from Gen. S. F. Cary, while
in Raleigh, from which we make the follow
ing extracts
During the last week I have delivered
Ten long addresses, IN jackson, Weldon, En-
neid' Warrenton, Henderson, Louisburg,
frankllnton, Wake Forest College, and Raj
elgh. Large audiences have greeted me at
every point, and l can truly say, that no
where in the Union have | seen a more en-
thusiastlc and cordial response to the doc.
trine of prohibition, The people are ready
to receive and digest the strongest truths
upon the subject, and are of one heart and
one mind, in regard to the proprietv and ne
cessity of a law which shall seize and des-
troy liquors kept for illegal sale. I confess
that am greatly disappointed with the ad-
vanced state Of the public mind here, on
this subject, as we'll as the general sobriety
OF the people. There is very little intern
perance In the parts of the State I have vet
visited. The Sons of Temperance have, to
a great extent, changed the habits of the
people, and rendered drinking questionable
and disreputable.
AS an evidence of the prosperity of the
cause, | would state that The Spirit of the
Age" edited by our excellent brother Cor
man, OF this city, has over 5000 subscribers.
North Carolina to-day, is in advance of Ohio,
on the subject of Temperance, and is better
prepared to adopt and enforce an effcientp pro-
hibition law. Philip S. White, P. NJ, w. p, is
entitled to very Buch Of theieredit for the pre-
sent state of things, having canvassed the
entire State, and ably presented the claims
of the Order. Not so much has been said
about prohibitory legislation, but apprecia-
ting the evil, they are ready to adopt any
measure for its abatement, and listen with
profound and earnest attention to any argu-
ments in behalf of prohibition.
The climate of North Carolina at this sea-
son of the year is delightful, and I believe
the statistics show that there are more
old people in this State than any other in
the Union. The soil is sandy, thin, and
poor, and it is only by tho free use of Guano
that old fields are made productive. The
timber is chiefly yellow pine and oak
Fields where soil has been exhausted and
f abandoned by the culvti gator, are soon GOV.
cred with a pine forest.
Raleigh is 4 pleasant city of some 6,00C
inhabitants, scattered over a large area, and
perfectly shaded with oak, elm-China trees
The China tree is now in full bloom, and the
air is filed with the pleasant perfume. The
tree and flower resembles the black locust
except that the flower is pink instead o
white. This is Court-day in Raleigh, and
make a speech upon the public ground ad
%jacent to the capitol.

DIABoLtcAL OUTRAGE A letter written
from Emory and Henry College, Va, and
published in the Petersburg Express of yes
terday, details the horrible. attempt by some
unknown miscreant to poison a wedding
party.
1t appears that on the evening oil Tuesday,
the 22d Of May, FL. S. Kane, Esq, an emf
nent lawyerof Scott county, and Miss Sarah,
a very charming and accomplished daughter
of Colonel Anderson, also Of Scott county,
were united IN marriage, at the mansion of
the brides father, and on the evening of
the next day a complimentary party was
given to the bridal pair, at the family resi-
dence of the Kanes.
A large company convened IN response to
the invitations given and the most unalloyed
pleasure pervaded the happy party until a
late hour of the evening, when some two or
three complained of sickness, and in a short
time some twenty,fv We or thirty others joined
in the complaint, all Of whom were suffering
severely with nausea, burningin the stomach,
and all the other horrible symptoms which
manifest themselves when arsenic is swallow
ed. But a short time elapsed before the sick
ness became almost general, and twas ascer-
tanned that every one who had partaken
of a lot of custard, which had been pre-
pared for the occasion, were suffering from
the effects of some subtle, and perhaps dead
ly poison.
There were so many affected, that the num-
Der escaped were scarcely able to attend to
their suffering friendA and the greatest ter
ror and conservatism prevailed. Two ply
sicians were at the scene of distress and suf-
fering, as soon as they could possibly attend,
after being sent for, and pronounced the sick
persons all poisoned. Upon examining and
nalyzlng the custard, it was found to be
strongly ~impregnated with arsenic.
I have been unable to obtain the names Of
the parties, but regret to state, that at latest
accounts, some twenty or twenty-five of those
who partook of the poison, were not expec-
ted to live. The young and beautiful bride,
was among the number most seriously affec'
ted.
