RESOLVED Nor TO RECEIVE THE president OF TIE
UNITED STATEs.-Concord, n. H., Sept pa large
meeting of the citizens of this city was held at De-
pot Hall, this evening, for the purpose of making
arrangements for giving q reception to President
Pierce. An attempt was made by the temporary
chairman to force upon the meeting John I'll. George
permanent chairman, against an overwhelming
vote in opposition to him; but George was repudia-
ted. and s. B. Chandler was made chairman of the
meeting.
General Low obtained the floor and said he and
the audience might live to see the day when they
would respect General Pierce highly as they now
do Gen. Jackson The remarks were received with
o storm of Kisses.
Mr.. L. F. Flint offered the following resolution,
and supported it in an able speech:
Resotced, That 1t IS inerpedient,' as citizens Of
Concord, to make arrangements for gicing public
reception to President Pierce at the present time.
Mr.. Fogg boldly arraigned President Pierce
sponsible for nearly all the murders and outrages
that have been committed by the border ruf6ans in
Kansas.
An attempt was made to gag him down, but he
was heard, and his resolution adopted by vote
of four to one, and the meeting adjourned. There
were about 1000 persons present.
The above, from freeso source, corrects the
dispatch published yesterday stating that the meet.
ing resolved that it expedient TO tender the
cepton. The democrats Of Concord, however, have
resolved to give the President suitable reception
which will in every respect be worthy of the distn
guished character of the visitor and the people o
the Granite State.

vein yet are found so lost to honor and to pa
triotism as to applaud them

Henry Winter Davis, member Of Congress from Bal

with the bi iaek Republicans on the army appropri

heart
If Mr.. Fillmore has such supporters in the heart
of the South, what must be the character of his
friends North?
These men-Botts and Davis-are paving the
way for seat in Fremont's Cabinet, in case he
should be elected There were tories in the Revo-
lution and there will be traitors in the South in the
event of black Republican success. Our people oiU

Fremont AND his kEEPERs.-The Committee who
have Mr.. Fremont in charge, have adopted good
dodge to keep him out of the clutches Of curious
questioners. The "Kurnel" has two residences
here, besides the one in California! He lives in
Ninth street and also at Staten Island. When any
ugly customer, such as "our German friends" call
to see him TO learn whether he is going to carry out
the Know Nothing creed il elected, the Col is down
to Staten Island. No one knows exactly however,
where the Staten Island residence is. only that it is
somewhere "along-shore." The dodge is good

NORTH CAROLINA CoAL.-We published the fol.
lowing paragraph yesterday, but we have cor
roborative evidence of its TRUTH we take pleasure in
republishing it:
quirer gives the result of the analysis Of sundry
Gas Goals, by which it is apparent that the Btumi-
nous Coal from Deep River, Chatham county, North
Carolina, is very nearly 90 per cent. richer in Gas
than any Coal discovered in America and indeed it
yields more Gas Of a superior quality than the En-
glish Goals, with which cities are generally
lighted. We hear that the New York Gas Compa-
mics are importing English Goals at a cost of 50 IS
per ton.
A gentleman of this town has politely handed US
letter received by him from Philadelphia, dated
the 10th instant, from which make the follow
ing extract:
IL have been conversing with Mr. Hugh Waddell
(of Orargc) for the last hour, and glad to be
informed both by him and the papers, that after
most searching and skilful test, coal brought from
our Deep River Coal Fields has proven to be of the
most superior quality get discorered either in
England or in this country. Five pounds of this
coal produced twenty -four cubic feet of gas whilst
hitherto coal has been found to produce more
than twenty cubic feet of gas making difference
of twenty per cent. in our favor. North Carolina
foreverr'
In view Of this most gratifying fact and in view
also of the rich prospective advantages which must
enure to our State from the possession of these
mines, which arc vast in extent and almost incalcu-
liable in the wealth of the deposit, we would urge
the necessity of those works Of improvement now
in progress and in contemplation, and which are
designed to afford facilities for getting this mineral
to market. We would especially alIude to the rail-
road proposed to be built between Fayetteville and
the mines, for the purpose Of expressing the wish
that the Legislature, at its approaching session,
WILL give this important enterprise liberal State aid.
! We think that in common fairness and justice it is
! entitled to it. Fayetteville given the go-by en-
tirely at the last session. and the injustice should
he repaired far it is possible. In thus express.
| ing a wish for the success of this road we do not
mean to cast a slur upon the River improvement,
which is work striving at a somewhat similar re.
suit with the road, preierring to wait yet little
while longer We abandon oil hope of its future
| usefulness. Vii Herald.

Mr.. Buchanan is sectional candidate, and is sought
