embodies information OF the most recent

There are on the sheet two Maps of

way to join Gen. Walker, in Nicarauga,
John c. Kyle. late Of tins town. dled of
cholera. Mr.. Kyle was raised in Staun-

the mercantile business. He possessed
many good qualifications for business,
though unsucc sssful and many good traits
Of character, though unfortunate. He has
been cut down in the prime Of youthful
vigor. Had he been spared to join Walk.

has died IN strange land, but there was

bis earthly pilgrimage. Peace be to his
ashes. We condoIe with his numerous re-

Remarked

We saw. few days since. at the Wiz
p,nia Hotel, grain Of wheat EMBEDDED
in a large clear lump Of ice, which had
sp.outed and sent out, at small oritice' a
blade about two and half inches long,
There were roots Of about the same length
which penetrated the lump Of ice where
it appeared entirely solid. The roots were
carefully drawn out Of the ice with the
grain by gentleman present. We would
lave been slow to believe this fact,
If we had not seen it. The grains Of
wheat, doubtless, Tell from straw upon the
ice when gathered. and when the mass
congealed, the wheat was enclosed, and
there remained until the removal Of the
suprrincumbent ice, when the warm air
oaused'it to vegetate. Let no one now
saw wheat cannot stand cold.

Ewing; Treasurer, w. H. Burlington.
- The above are all democrats and il is
conceded that their majority will average
1000.
The Congressional districts have all been
heard from, and the new delegation, it is
believed, will stand five democrats and two
Americans not counting Akens, who is
elected simply to fill Vacancy.

1t was advertised for several weeks in
advance that grand rally Of the Know
Nothing party would take place at the
Stribling Spnngs, on Friday last, and that
number OF distinguished speakers from d
distance would be present. The proprie-
tor Of the Springs, with commendable ell
efgy, aud spirit Of accommodation, pre-
pared stand and seats off from the Springs
some distance to meet the wants Of the
expected crowd. On the day appointed
large number Of persons assembled,
doubtless for the purpose of hearing the
addresses Of strange speakers. They, how.
ever, were doomed to disappointment.--
The only gentleman who was present from
distance, was Mr.. B. M. Magluder, cl
Aibemarle. Bolts, FIournoy. and host
OF others, did not come.
Near the hour appointed for the speak
ing to commence, a desire was expressed
by nine.teDths of the assemblage to have
a discussion. In obedience to this ex.
pIessed:wish, the following proposition wa.
submitted in writing 10 the committee Of
the Know Nothing party:
with view to adding interest to the
occasion. we propose that time be divided
equally between the speakers of y our par
ty present to day, and Col. w. H. Hartman
