JAMES w. OSBORNE, ESQ.

The able and patriotic letter of this gem
tleman, in to-day's paper, assigning his rca-
sons, as an old line Wig whose symPathies
have been warmly on the side OF Fillmore
and the Nothing party, for transfer
ing bis support TO James Buchanan, will be
read with profound interest by the people
of Mecklenburg, and will command general
attention throughout the whole State
James w. Osborne is no ordinary man.
Highly respected and esteemed by all his
numerous acquaintance, for bis elevated
social and moral character, he is at the
same time the pride of his friends and the
admiration of all, on account of his COM
mauding intellect, talents, and Oratorical
lovers. He is a gentleman of unbounded
popularity, and descrvedly so. He has not
only local reputation as a of giant
intellect and prominence, but n name fani-
liar far beyond the bounds of his own State;
and the opinions of no man is entitled to
greater respect and consideration. A pa
triut, who has kept watchful eye on the
enemies of the Constitution, the Union, and
his own beloved South, at the hour of inn
mincnt peril to all, he surrenders party at
tachmentS, LAYS aside all minor considera-
tons, and gallantly, generously, and mag
unanimously steps forward to render all the
aid in his power to save his country from
the accurScd tlIalldom of Black Republic
canism. Are there not thousands in North
Carolina, who will follow the noble example
Of Jane ". Osborne! Who can doubt that
there are! We honor and admire him more
than ever, aS must every friend of the
country, for this distinguished proof of his

high degree of respect to which they are en-
titled. ..All he desires is the safety of the
South and the preservation of the Union

A WING CONVENTION.

A national Convention of Know-Noth-
ings, calling themselves Wings, has just
closed a session, 'fat, stale, and unprofta-
ble," at Baltimore. Of course, it nominal
ted Fillmore & Donelson, for the mem
bers went there (Goy. Graham, of this State,
stated) for no other purpose. The Conven-
ton will do no good for Fillmore in the
South, while it may aid Buchanan in the
North, by inducing some Wings there to
adhere to him, who otherwise would have
given their vote TO Fremont. 1t is rather
late in the day for national Conventions,
and especially for Know-Nothing Conven-
tons. This never would have been called,
if the present aspect of the political hori-
ION could have been foreseen. The cleo
tons in the free States, showing that Mr..
Fillmore is powerless in the North as well
as in the South, had not taken place at the
time this Convention was called.

MECKLENBURG FLOUR.

We are gratifed to find the following tes-
timony in favor of the superior quality of
Mecklenburg -four abroad. The last Nor
folk Herald says:
FAMILY FLOUR.-A superior quality of
Family Flour is manufactured at Char
lotto Mills in the town of Charlotte, Neck
lenburg county, North Carolina, and those
who are particular iii selecting that article
would DO we'll to give it trial. Several
families not easy to please in the choice of
their -four have tried it and pronounce 1t
first rate. 1t is manufactured at the mills
of Leroy Springs, Esq, which are the most
extensive Touring mills in the State-and
he has appointed P. II. Hinton, Esq, his
agent for the sale of it in this city.
Charlotte is at the western terminus of
the North Carolina Rail Road, 203 Miles
from Goldsborough, and la from Raleigh.
It is one of the most hourishing inland
towns in North Carolina-and till the com
pletion of the North Carolina Rail Road did
all its trading with Charleston.

MORE FRIENDS OF TIE SOUTH.

In connection with Mr. Osborne's Letter,
We are much gratified in laying. before our
readers the admirable Letters of the Hon.
ID. NJ. BARRrNGER and \. G. WILLIAMSON,
ESP of this town, also assigning their rea-
sons for supporting Mr.. buchanan.
Mr.. BAEBIRGER is gentleman well
known as distinguished Wing politician,
who at one time WAS Representative in
Congress from this State, and more recent
" [. 5. Minister to Spain.
MIR. WILLIAMSON is highly respectable
lawyer, who has always borne a corspicu-
Gus part in the Wing and "America,'' par
ties Of this county, and who was for seve-
raj years Editor of :fo North Carolina
Wing" published in this town.
These are gentlemen of standing and in
teIlect, who are valuable accessions to the
cause of the Constitution and equal rights.
We welcome them into our ranks-apd
nope that many of their friends, with like
independence and patriotism, will soon
come to the rescue of the South, the Con-
Sutution, and the Union.
We also invite attention to the able end

hnow-Nothing leader in Virginia, on the
same suhJeet-and an extract from letter
u the Hon. CHARLES J. JENKINS, of Geor-
ga also assigning his reasons for supporting

Us reason to hope that ere long Black Re

FATAL OCCURRENCE.

James NJ. Journey, of IredeIl county,
came to his death, on Friday morning last,
under the following circumstances: He
was travelling through the country, with a
wagon containing liquor for sale, and stop
ped at the house of Mr.. Jumes j. Orr, of
Mecklenburg county. ON the Wadesboro'
road, 10 miles below Charlotte, where there
were several gentlemen of the neighborhood,
whom he allowed to test the qualities of his
liquor. In the company, was Mr.. James
II. Wellington, who approached Journey,
while he was sitting on fence with black
bottle of liquor in his hand, when he Jour
ncy) either accidently or designedly gave
the bottle twitch and threw some of its
contents in the face of Wellington, who
Immediately seized the bottle and threw it
at the head of Journey, cutting hole in his
hat and a severe cash on the crown of his
head. All effort to stop the flow of blood
from the wound proved unavailing, and
death cnSucd from loss of blood early the
following morning. The bottle was not
broken by the blow.
VIM. Maxwell, Justice Of the Peace,
had Il jury summoned. and All inquest held
over the body-the verdict being in accOr-
dance with the above facts. Mr.. Wedding
ton surrendered himself into the hands of
the law, and was committed 10 the jail of
this town by Deputy Sheriff, Robest White,
on Saturday morning last.

FURTHER NEWS FROM KANSAS.

The st. Louis News of the 18th inst,
has the following:
There is lull in the Kansas war, which
is probably the forerunner of a peace
The army of Missourians recently rendez-
voused near Westpost for the invasion of
the territory is disbanded. Much the lar
ger portion of the men composing it have
returned home, leaving small force of two
O. three hundred men, under Gen. Reid, to
protect the territory. The cause of the
break up was this: After the affair at
Ossawattomie the men under Reid called
out to be led against Lawrence right off,
that they might terminate the war by the
capture of that place. The leaders, con-
scious of the impOssibility of succeeding in
such a hazardous enterprise with such an
undisciplined force, refused to march on
Lawrence, and fell back on their base of
operations on the Missouri border. The
men became disheartened and refused to
submit to the severe drilling system which
was instituted in the camp, and which ex-
perience has demonstrated to be absolute
ly essential to enable the pro-slavery army
to make Roadway against the thoroughly
organised and disciplined forces under Lane.
They therefore packed up and returned
home

CAMP MEETING

y Methodist Campaigning is at present
progressing about seven miles south of this
town, Immediately on the line of the c. and
S. c. Railroad. Many thousands were in
attendance on Sunday-Charlottc having
made large contribution to the number.
Besides the hundreds who crowded the cars,
every carriage, horse, and mule in the town
seemed to have been paraded and put in
motion for the camp ground. The drain of
white spirits and black spirits" gave a
solemn quiet to our streets quite becoming
a Sabbath day. For once, ''Order reigned
in Warsaw"
We are decidedly in favor Of Camp Meet
Jugs.

NORTH CAROLINA CoAL.-The Phila-
delphia Enquirer gives the result of the an
alysis of sundry Gas Goals, by which 1T Is
apparent that the Bituminous Coal from
Deep River, Chatham County, North Caro-
lima, is very nearly % per cent ric her in
Gas than any Coal discovered in America !;
and indeed it yields more Gas of supe-
rior quality than the English Goals, with
which our cities are generally lighted. We
hear that the New York Gas Companies
are importing English Goals at cost OF
1915 per ton.
Other accounts agree with the above, in
representing the Deep River Coal fully 20
per cent. superior to any ever used in Phi
iadelphia. The supply is said to be mex
baustible.
