HARNETT COUNTY.

The new County of Harnett was organized at
Summeville last week, and the following officers
elected: George w. Pegram, Chairman County
Court; Clerk, b. F. Shaw; Sheriff. ]. A. John
son; Solicitor, Neill Mckay, Jr.,; Trustee, J. L.
Bethea; Register d. B. Mclean; Entry Taker,
Jonathan uawIey; Coroner, H. Mclean; Stand
ard Keeper, J. 7. Reardon, &c. The Carolinian
says:
without intending the least disparagement to
the unsuccessful candidates. congratulate the
citizens of Harnett their selection of officers
all being worthy and competent gentlemen.
The Commissioners appointed to locate the
Court House have selected Summerville as the
place, and we understand that the name of the
village is to be changed to that of TooMER. This
is a handsome and deserved compliment TO the
venerable Judge Toomer.
The necessary steps were taken, we believe, for
erecting Court House. The act establishing the
County provides that prisoners shall he confined
in the Jail of Cumberland until one is erected for
uarnett."
A Democratic Meeting also held, and del
egates appointed to Convention to be held at
Clinton OH Tuesday of May Superior Court, to
nominate candidate for Congress. The proceed

COL. RUFFIN IN EDGEcoMBE.

Wehad the pleasure Of hearing Col. Ruin adj
dress the people In this place Tuesday las.. Ee
gave an account Of his Stewardship clear and in
tellIgibie manner, bY enumerasing the most impor-
ant questions, which had been before the late Con-
gress, commanding with the Nebraska hill and clos
ing with remarks upon the vetoes Of the French
SPollalon and Collins line Of steamers bills. In
vetolng these bills the President was sustained by !
the votes Of our Representative, he has been upon
every Important question during his term of service
ltoi. Rntiin in the canvass of 80. showed himself
to be an old line Democrat Of the Jefferson. Jackson
and Poik stamp. and his course in Congress fully
sustains him.
After gening through with his remarks upon the
great questions which were the subject of discussion
during the late Congress- the Colonel closed with
some justly deserved structures upon the vest of all
vile rsms :" Know Nothingisn." He proved clearly
to the mlnds of every reasonable and unparalleled
listener that this conspiracy against our republican
form OF government is the friend and ally Of abol-
tionism, and he warned all Southern men to touch
not the unclean thing If there were any of these
midnight stragglers present (and we thought we
several who looked like they were,) they certainly
touched to the quick the scathing rebuke so
justly and handsomely administered. They
gbbeted to the gaze the multitude and their princ
pies completely rddled by the burning words Of the
eloquent speaker.
This terrible castigation of the Know No,hings,
met hearty and responsive echo in the feelings of
his auditory 1t endeared him then ever to the
democracy of Edgecomhe, the numerous plauds
told when he made of his fierce onslaughts upon
this bastard ban,ing of whiggery, aboliionism, big
otry and intolerance.
In the approaching canvass there is but one voice
in Edgecombe, and that is for Rufin for reelection.
A public meeting was called, but deemed unnecessary
there division of or ming in the county.
If the party in the district desire Convention. Edge
combe is ready cooperate and support the nominee,
whoever he may be.
Col. Ruin took occasion to say. that he not
the to thrust himself on his party, and he should
await its action.
Under these circumstances it becomes the duty Of
avery county in the district in the matter.
The campaign should b, opened early and prosecuted
with vigor. to check the progress Of this infamous,
every hole and of the land It is
sary to expose it 10 the full blaze of daylight to
arrest it in mid caIeer. Like noxious plant which
has sprung into existence upon the civilizations of
night, it will sicken, wither and die with the first
rays of the morning sum falling upon it.

APPLICATIONS FOR Bounty LAND WARRANTS
We understand that already fifteen hundred APP
plicaons have been made for bounty lands under the
law passed by Congress only week ago. Yester-
day three hundred and fifty such applications were
received.
1t is estimated at the Pension Bureau that about
300, 900 such applications will be made under the
new law. requiring 100000 of acres to satisfy
them. The amendments made in the bill by the
House, reduced the quantity of lands to be taken up
under from than 1o0, 900 900 to about
the quantity we name above.
