MR. GALEs.-We observed that, at late ban
quet at the Presidents house, Mr. Gales, the
veteran editor of the National Intelligencer,
was treated with marked, aud we may add, de-
served distinction. Mr.. Gales has been for half
century at the head of the newspaper press Of
America. In ability, sagacity, Industry and
Judgment, he has had no superior among the
journalists of America. His paper is entitled
to the still higher merit Of candor, dignity and
decorum. In its political discussions It has uni
forrnly appealed to the reason, and never to the
prejudces and passions of men. Mr.. Gales is
not only an editor, but statesman, far sighted,
well informed, and of liberal and comprehensive
views. He is much better fitted for scat in
the Senate or the Cabinet than many who have
figured in those positions. AS man, he is dis
tinguished for his generosity of nature and un-
affected singie-mindedness We presume that
for no one Connected with the American press
iS there so universal feeling of respect and
affection, as for Joseph Gales, editor of the Ma
tional Intelligencer.-Ri Richmond Va Dispatch

Elections at the North.

The result of the State elections in Yer
mont and Maine is, that the Black Republi-
cans have swept every thing. electing their
governors and almost the entire Legislatures,
by unprecedented majorities.
We confess that we chronicle these things
with sincere distrust and alarm, fearing that
they are but the precursors of what the en-
tire Northern States will do in the ensuing
PRESIDENTIAL election. Every day develops
the strength of this disunion, sectional party,
and their intention to carry their sectional,
fanatieal opinions into the election of Chief
Magistrate. We fear they may succeed
ana then comes I" the beginning of the end"
We love the Union, and our prayer is that
1T may continue down to the latest sylla.
BILE of recorded time" if it can be perpetaa,
ted on the constitutional capabilities and rights
of each section; but i not-if the North pre-
fers a separation rather than yield this-w'
say let 1t conceive repeat it, let it come
Our trust and confidence in an over-rulinI
Providence to subvert the evil machination
of bad men, is, however, undated !; and it
this " silver lining to the murky cloud tia
oyerspreads our National sky, that bids I
look up with hope.

Civil War in Kansas.

After a long series of ~maraudings and
depredations, the startling fact stares us in
the face that a ciUl e0ar is raging in Kansas
Territory! A sa%nguinary battle was fought
on the Both ult., between about 800 South
erners and as many Aholitionists, contend
ing for the supremacy there. The Souther-
ners hav e gone there with their slave proper
ty, and the Northerners are attempting to
drive them from the soil. In this conflict
the Southerners drove their adversaries from
the field, like chaf before the wind. Other
outbreaks are constantly occurring, of a pri-
vate as we'll as public character, and anarchy
and 5loodshed rules the day.
The new Governor Of the Territory, Col.
Geary, has arrived at his post, with full in
structions from the President and ample
powers to enforce the laws and restore or
der. We trust that the most rigid measures
will be carried out, but carried out impair
tally. The President has the power,-le
that power he exerted to the fullest extern
necessary, and this civil strife arrested. Al
the Southern people ask is fair play in Kan
sas, and the prevalence of law and no jus
Northern man asks any thing else for hi
section. For the latest news from this i'll
fated territory, see our News head.

Hope I Don't intrude !"

SOME people are always hoping they don't
intrude, no matter in what position they place
themselves. Reader, are you one that gloss
over the Misrepresentation of your person by
a simple "hope I don't intrude ?" If you
are, a word in your ear. You step into a
parlor just at twilight, and there you see
two loving couple holding a tete-atete.-
They are disquieted, to say the least, by
your presence, and you have the audacity to
hope you don't intrude but you do intrude.
You step into an Editors sanctum. Editor
and all hands are up to the eyes in business.
You just called to see and hear, and hope you
don't intrude. But you do intrude, most
desperately. Yeu drop in at a neighbours
when they have a special company for their
own qualification. You push in, and hope
you don't intrude, but you do. You call
upon a lady when. domestic duties claim her
attention. She hasn't a moment to spare,
and you sit there gossiping common nonsense
and hoping you dom intrude hut vou do
intrude most shamefnlly. Ind 50 tosth.
Reader, be sure you always intrudc wher
your presence interferes with the time, pa
thence, business or pleasure Of others. Re

over your offences by the hypocritical oil Of

MIGHT even have been led into institutins

New Map of North Carolina.

We have been shown within a few days.,
a proof sheet of the new map of North
Carolina by Mr.. VIM. D. Cooke of this CT
ty. 1t will be undoubtedly, when compile
ted, the most beautiful and correct map of
our State, ever offered to the public. To
say that it will be perfectly correct would
be saying too much; but the e~nterprising
proprietor has been employing every means
in his power to have the first edition as cor
rect as possible, designing that all future
editions shall have the latest improvements,
e%mendations and corrections. This is an
entire new map, We are assured, not made
up from previous maps, but from actual
surveys and such data as could be obtain
ed from the most intelligent and reliable
sources. Mr.. Cooke informs us that he
has ascertained that a house In Philadel
phia has been selling a professedly new
map of North Carolina In several portions
of the Safe, as Cookies new map. He pro
~nounces this a palpable cheat upon the pub
lie, that map having been struck off from
the old plates bought at auction, of MeRae',
map, with such corrections as later map
afforded Mr.. Cookies map will not b,
ready for distribution for some time t
come, as he is still procuring additiona
information for the correction Of the proc
sheet, before its publication.

We have before us the statistical tables
of the Order of the year ending January lst,
1856. The number of contributing members
appears to be only one hundred thousand, al
together full returns would show a larger
number. New Hampshire, Mississippi, Iowa,
Nova Scotia, Texas, Arkansas, Cherokee Ma
ton and Oregon made no returns. Canada
West has the largest number of Divisions
and the largest membership. This Grand
Division reports 362 Divisions and 1892
members under its jurisdiction. The mum.
mer of deaths during the year in the Order
is 73O, or one out of 1874. The statistics o.
the Order from tho beginning, shows a remark
ably small mortality. The smallest ratio o
mortality has been in Vermont, having los
only one member out Of GAO. Rhode Islant
has lost but one out of 418 New Bruins
wick one out of 358. The largest ratio c
deaths is liz Georgia, having lost one membe
out of every IL. In most of the Jurisdiction
the average is nearly the same, showing ths
