Decline of KnoW-NOthingis

The indications cannot be mistaken that the new
political party has about its race-That it has
reached its eliminating point and henceforth will
sink rapidly to the horizon, and soon disappear for
ever. in all the northwestern States, where less
than SIX months ago ii carried everything before it,
the result of the late town elections has BEEN almost
without exception adverse to the new order. In the
city OF Clnclnnati which, in October last, gave the
Know Nothing ticket more than six thousand MAORI
ty, the regular Democratic ticket has now succeeded
by some thirteen hundred votesthe most signal tri-
umph our party has achieved in that city The
hnoW-N othng candidate was man of the name of
Taylor, we'll known, in times past, the author of
the Signal letter. and of the earliest and most eff
hcent advocates of the Wilmot Provso-an Abo-
litionlst dyed in the wool. His opponent James j
Farran represented the Cincinnati district in Con.
gress for several TERMS and his record will vouch for
the consistency of his devotion 10 the Democratic
creed. In nearly all the other towns in Ohio excep,
that portion where abolitionsm lords it with high
hand the Democratic cket has prevailed by unusu-
ally large maiorltes In the town Of Chilcothe
where, tor the last quarter of a century, the Wing
majority has been counted by hundreds, and where
there are bat few aboitionists, the Know. Nothing
ticket has been sgnally defeated In cleveland on
the contrary, which is in Gddings' old district, and
where reesollsm has ruled the roast since l84S the
new party has succeeded, though by reduced major
ity. In Michigan, in ndianna and Iowa, wherever
the issue has been made Know Nothingsm has beer
driven to the wall. With the exception of the tow
OF New Albany, where the Know-Nothings resortet
to violence to control public opinion no election ha.
taken place IN any of the towns of Indiana, wher,
the positions occupied by the two parties last Oc,o
Der have not been reversed. There can be no cues
ton that even the Democratic party is in the as
cendant IN all the north western States, and that il
the Presidential election of 1885, they will sweep CIV
erything before them. The revolution has com

ering the ground in such manner as to make it seem
Of deep brown color. An immense proportion of
the Russian shells have never exploded at all, and
there they lay just as they issued from the gun
Within about hundred yards of our works the
ground is quite cut TO pieces by the deep shot fur
rows, while the balls themselves, coming in contact
with others the ground, have shivered into little
fragmens in all directions In theaower parts of the
Woronzow road, below Gordon's Battery, the shot
and shells have rolled down the hills and almost
choke the way.
After this tour returned on the right attack and
waited there until the last straggler of the enemy
had gained the shelter of their lines. Instantly the
Russians hauled down their flags OF truce we did
the same. The snap shots of the rifemen began on
both sides, our right attack fired shell, the Mamelon
replied, and then everything went on as it has been
for the last six months.

THE GRANARIEs OF THE WEsT.-If the receipts
should continue as heavy as they are at present until
the close of the season, the year with will prove
one OF the most remarkable in a commercial point Of
view, ever known. Wheat, corn, OATS rye, and
floor are largely over last years receipts for the
time, and the amounts coming forward appear to be
increasing every day. The Upper Mississippi which
usually sends out larger supplies of grain than the
Illinois, this falls far behind her aggregate Of
shipments. Should that section give anything like
the supplies heretofore received, have hesita-
ton in stating that the grain business of this market
will show at the close increase of at least twen
tyhve per cent. the operations of any preceding
year. The comparative paucity of receipts from the
Upper Mississippi is attributed by many to low wa
tiers and high freghts-by others to scan,y surplus
We hear it stated, however, by those who are in
constant communication with traders at prominent
points, that large lots of grain held ready for
shipment, awaiting only fair opportunities for trans
portaton.
1t is somewhat singular that with these liberal
supplies, and fair prospect for their continuance,
tnat prices should be at the figures which our mar
ket reports exhibit. Wheat corn and oats are nearly
at twice the sum they commanded one year ago

items contained in the papers received here by
her, additional to the Halifax dispatch:
A despatch from the Crimea, dated April 18th, re-
ports that the cholera was raging fearfully in the
French camp.
The London Times of Saturday attributes the de-
cline of the funds in part to the withholding by the
Government of the latest from the seat of war.
The cholera continued its ravages at St. Peters,

90 Our attention has been called to an article in
the Herald" of Wednesday headed The Clinton
Convention" 1t is not our purpose to notice that
article further than to correct some mistatements
of the Especial reporter" whether intentional or
otherwise we do not pretend to say.
In the first instance there was no debate angry or
otherwise, between Mr. Holmes of New Hanover and
Mr. Spears of Harnett concerning the appointment of
the committeeman, nor did Mr.. Spears motion pre-
vail, for the simplest reason in the world-M Spears
made no motion the subject. There lUas some de-
bate on a motion of Mr.. Spears made at the opening
Of the evening session. That motion, and the action
of the Convention thereupon stated in the Secre-
taries' report of the proceedings The only warmth
displayed by Mr.. Spears in repellng all suspi-
cion of Know Nothingism, with which he understood
he had been charged
Of the attempted wit at the expense of the speak
erS we need say nothing. We suppose every body
understands that. Messrs Hill of Duplin and McKoy
of Sampson made comparatively short speeches. but
IN good taste, containing good doctrine we'll express
cd and we'll delivered. MIR. Houston of Dupln made
longer and more carefully arranged speech, and
one Which did him credit in every way-emphati.
cally, good speech Mr.. Edwin Williams of Gas.
'OsH is native of Sampson, and was in the midst of
his relatives and friends.
Now as regards the trouble in the avfgwam. and the
three committee spoken of as not apreenp to the
report. The only dissent was in regard TO the poleu

Our TRIP TO C1INToN.-We do not design lntlct-
ing upon our readers long account of our personal
adventures, for the public nothing at all about
them; neither is it worth while to describe localities
like Clinton, Warsaw, &c, because nearly every body
has seen as much of them as we have. Clinton is
known 10 be beautiful and thriving village inhab
ted by clever and enteprising population and the
county seat of the good old county of Sampson, than
which no county in the State is making more rapid
progress in mental and material improvement. which
improvement is plainly visible at the seat of justice.
The Female Institute is credit to the county and to
the State, and never in more prosperous
condition than at present, and never more deserving
Of the prosperity it enjoys.
During the Session of the Convention, and before
and after enjoyed the opportunity of renewing old
acquaintance, and making new ones-of meeting
many whom it has long been our pride and pleasure
to class personal friends and of forming assoca-
tons with others who will hereafter occupy that po-
gton in feelings; and we 1atter ourselves that
some at least will continue SO TO regard US; at any
rate, we have the satisfaction of believing that we
made no enemies, nor willingly used an expression
calculated TO wound the feelings of any one Indeed
we have never seen Convention where fewer Incl
dents occurred of nature even bordering unpleas-
antness We know of none that could result in future
heart burnings. In attendance upon Sampson Su'
perior Court, and upon the Convention were very
many of the prominent Democrats of the District and
all expressed the fullest confidence in the success Of
the party, against any and all opposition.
To the temporary Chairman as we'll as the per-
manent President of the Conventions the highest
praise is due for their urbany and good feeling. Dr.
McKoy is too we'll known in the District to need any
praise at our hands Mr.. Houston, our president,
was comparative stranger to the great body of the
delegates--he is so longer--even those with whom
he formed no personal acquaintance will recolIect
him of the promptest and most courteous pre-
siding officers they have ever seen.
To turn from the Convention and all other political
matters A friend from Robson, P. A. McEachin
bors of all parties and shades of opinion requests
earnestly to invite the attention of our people to the
Railroad Mass Meeting to be held at Floral College
in that county, the 10th inst, The people of Robe
