GOV. WISE AND AN Ex-EDIToR.

The Richmond (Va.) Enquirer contains
the particulars of an affair between Gov.
Wise and Hugh R. Peasants, Esq, former
ly editor of know-nothing paper in Rich
mond, and more recently editor of paper
of the same kind, in Baltimore. The En-
quirer says:
"About O'Clock, i. NJ. Monday morn
ing Gov. Wise was sitting at his table in
the Capitol, attending to official business.
His room was entered by Hugh r. Pleas
Gnts. He entered without knocking. with
out inquiry or usual salutation, and took g.
seat on the sofa in the room, in the rear of
Mr.. W'se's seat, WHICH faced the door
After sitting few minutes, he rose, went
towards the door and asked: .Vhere is old
Gizzard FOOT" .GiEzard-foot is not in this
morning, is hel" Gov. Wise replied: .!Yes
sir, here he isl am the man." He repeat-
ed the question and was replied to in the
same way. peasants then said: well,
by Cd! I didn't know you-and you are
Gizzard- foot! and Ebo shin, are you p
Gov. Wise said: II knoac you, sir-you are
Hugh Peasants. With this Peasants
commenced with most vulgar and haunting
abuse, and Mr.. Wise ordered him out of
the room. He refused TO go out Mr..

OCEANIC TELEGRAPH.

Next week the United States steamer
Arctic will sail from New York, with COM
petent scientific corps, to complete the ne
cessary OCEANIC surveys preparatory to lay
ing down the submarine cable which is to
place the old world and the new in ponneo-
ton. Lieut.. Bergman will command the
Arctic. The wires will be laid as soon as
possible after the surveys. Two steamers
will be employed in the service. They will
take each half the cable, and uniting the
ends of the two halves about midway be-
tween the two shores, each will proceed in
opposite directions. Our advices are now
generally - days old when received here.
In short time, we shall tie able to furnish
the news from that distant part of the world
in "a hours.

GROWING WORSE.

The trick about Summers illness is still
being played out with admirable boldness.
1t is getting at least to be decidedly inter-
esting and exciting-and we, for one, like
it none the less on that account. That old
imp of old Nick, Greedy, writes from Wash
ington to Thursdays Tribune, as follows ::
"Mr. Sumner is worse, and is declared
in danger of softening of the brain, by his
medical friends.-He is enjoined to avoid
all excitement and will hardly be permitted
to resume his seat this session. He will
never fully recover"
Summers brain was soft before Brooks
made it softer, or he would not have made
the speech which led to his punishment
The trial of Mr.. Brooks is to take place in
few days. and of course it must be given
out that Mr.. Summers brain is in a soft
condition.

could succeed in obtaining the strongest
pro slavery platform they might desire, yet,
! if thereby disruption of the Order followed
| las feared believed, and predicted would
be the easel with the loss of our national
unity, we should lose the talisman of oGr
| strength. then told them, that the loss of
harmony and concert of action would weak
! en- US far more, than the platform would
strengthen US, even in the South.
But other counsels than mine and those
who concurred with me prevailed. iFhe
slavery question was interpofated upon the
three points" 4" pure and simple" Ito use
phrase of late European Diplomacy =
Reputation Of that portion of the platform
did follow in most Of the Northern Councils
the Southern elections during the Sum
mer and fall of '95 showed who was right
and who was wrong-and we are nov reap
ing the bitter fruits Of our dissentiOps on
the subject Of slavery.
Mr.. Rayner bitterly denounces the re-
peal of the Missouri compromise, as fol-
lows:
No man CT any sagacity end observation
can conceal from himself the fact, that the
present condition of the country is alarm
ing. 4 both ends qf the Union, the ''slave-
nv question" is king. All other questions
pale in insignifcanee before it, an the pub
lie estimation. Americanism--all the deli
cate questions involved in our foreign rela-
tions-all important questions of internal
pOlicy-all, for the time, seem 70 be ignored
by the popular mind. The phantom of dis
cord, exercised by the repeal of the Missou-
ri Compromise. is stalking through the land,
frightening men from their proprety. In
the dissentions WHICH now distract our
country-in the scenes of violence and COM
motion which prevail in Congress-in the
blood WHICH is flowing in Kansas and which.
like that of Abel, is crying from the ground
TO heaven for rrtribution-in the shocks and
conclusions which are testing the strength
of the Cnion-we are realizing the sad con-
sequences of that unwise and unfortunate
measure, the repeal of the Missouri Com
promise. Its authors sQweG wind. and our
suffering country is now reaping the whirl-
wind. From the day of the conSummation
of this measure, l have ever believed it
would prove TO this nation, what the wrath
of Achilles did to Greece, 1.-THE direful
spring of woes unnumbered."
Truly, Mr.. Rayner draws sad picture
of Know-E othingism at the present day
its unity-its nationality! He makes it
out bad case. Yet he ought to know,
and the Know Nothings are stopped from
ohjecting to his authority, for he is the man
they swear by in this neighborhood. If a
Democrat had talked about the Know No
thing platform having been so plastered
with interpretations" as to be construed
one way at the North and another at the
South, they would have denounced it as a
matter of course. But RAYNER says it, |
and they are bound to acknowledge his au-
Elizabeth City Pioneer.
Kenneth declines in favor of Fillmore
a most unkind "cut" of Com. Stockton, his !
associate on the ticket.

HOMICIDE.

We learn (says the Raleigh Standard,
of Saturday last,) that on Wednesday
morning last, Mr.. John P. Smith, residing
some seven or eight miles south of this place,
was assaulted and instantly killed by Mr..
Alfred Haywood, living about three miles
southeast of this place. It appears that
Mr.. Smith, who was a constable, had levied
on property of Mr.. Haywood, and advertis-
ed it for sale; and this was regarded by the
latter as a mortal offence. On Wednes-
day morning Haywood went to Smiths
house, called him out, struck him with q
stick across the fence, and then, getting
over the fence into the yard, stabbed and
cut him with his knife, killing him instant
ly. We learn that there were some four
teen cuts on Smiths body. Smiths bro
Their was present, with gun, but did not
shoot. We learn that Haywood told him
he had done what he came to do, and then
mounted his horse and rode away. On
Wednesday morning, as soon as informa-
ton of the homicide was received here, Mr..
Deputy Sheriff Nor wood (Mr. Sheriff High
being absent) proceeded with posse to
arrest Haywood-but he could not be found.
He will no doubt attempt to escape from
the country. Haywood is an eccentric
man, and has secluded himself for many
years On his farm near this place. Smith,
the constable, was an easy, inoffensive per-
son, and an excellent officer. The killing
under such circumstances, of such a man,
has occasioned, as might we'll be supposed,
a very general feeling of indignation. We
trust that the perpetrator of the deed may
be arrested and brought to trial.
