ORPHAN ASYLUM, PORTSMOUTH.

The Raleigh Register, and other K. N. papers in
this State have been indulging for several weeks
past in false charges against the Democrats of Ports
mouth Va, in relation to the Orphan Asylum in
that place-charges Of prescription, which apply
only to the K. N. party of the place referred to,
and of which the Democrats entirely guiltless.
The following communication from friend in Ports
mouth, well acquainted with the facts, thoroughly
exposes this K. N. attempt to make capital out of
matter too sacred in itself ever to have brought into
the party arena The charge of prescription comes
with bad grace from organization, whose men,
bers have been soo' to prescribe all who do agree
with them, and to make war especially upon natu-
ralized citizens and upon those persons, not Pro-
testants, who endeavor to worship God according to
the dictates of their own conscences. These very
K. Ms, thus sworn, prescribed from Office the Ia
mented Hunter Woods, of Norfolk, because he was
Catholic-Hunter Woods, who was afterwards re-
elected Mayor by the citizens of the place. under a
returning sense of justice, and who died in their
service, smtten with the pestilence victim to the
cause of humanity and to the sublime performance
of his duty. But the winnings of these hypocrites
are most disgusting-read what our Portsmouth
correspondent says.

FIRE !-On Thursday night last in this City, about
nine o'clock an alarm Of fire was given; and it was
discovered that the bedroom of the Clerk of tho
County Court was on fire. Mr.. Utley, the Clerk it
seems, had left candle burning on his table, and
the fire, it is supposed, was communicated from
that. After much effort on the part of Mr.. UtIey,
Mr. Sheriff High and others, the fire was extingush-
ed-but Mr. Utey, we regret to say, was severely
burnt IN his hands and face.

est thou this people? Another claims tbv seat
q Dill Is rendered and accepted setting forth
oei tam frauds IN certain places, and as far as
am able to learn, no one claims any fraud to

OF Coles Bashford have filed bill claiming that
Ia certain places fraud has been practised, BY
which fraud he, the said Coles Bashford il nv
justly ana uniawfully refused his office of Gov
ernor OF this State, by one William A. Barstow
claiming title under color of certificate u.,,.,.v
obtained by reason of the admission of these
frauds IN the official returns. The Attorney
General accepts this bill, but afterwards laws !,
one side and proceeds on another bill drawn bv
himself, covering the ground taken by Bash
lord counsel IN his bill, but covering too much
covering more than Is necessary to determine
the matter on ITS merits. BY the bill filed by
the attorney General, the whole vote of the
State must be inquired into, and this will con-
sumo time, and very long time too. I have
yet to learn that there is an issue between the
parties rs to the whole vote of the State. No
body neither Democrat nor Republican, claims
that fraud has been every where practised All
tins Is important to the procurement of the
actual results asked for by the counsel of the
plaintiff. But if we proceed on Mr. Knowlton's
bill, the result be too speedily arrived at,
and we are afraid to meet it. We NAV get the
worst of it. We viii stave it off then by a
general writ, by which we can summon every
voter IN the State to testify how he voted. Two
years Will more than have elapsed before this
can be done. The term expired and if any,
thing should result, the State can paw the shot
The matter wears this aspect To me it pre-
sents no other If we are afraid TO come up to
the scratch on the merits, we are only exposing
our weakness, and avoiding its consequences
by trickery and delay. Lam a Democrat, but
L profess rs great devotion TO honesty and in
tegrIty in political in general matters If
Coles Bashford is Governor elect, in the
name OF right place him where he of right be-
longs; if he is not, then why fear TO face the
usic fairly and promptly. Mr. Knowlton's
bill charges fraud in the recent election. and
specifies where and how committed Because
fraud has been charged upon those places, is the
whole State TO be question ed? Conclude every
man innocent until he is prored guilty; much
more then conclude every man innocent until
he is charged with guilt. But the refusal to
proceed on the bill filed by COUNSEL and the
procedure by bill prepared by the Attorney
General, is for delay, and this fact, apprehend,
will appear palpable to every man who care
