Judge Laws Letter, 60.

Yesterday we published letter from Judge
Law, in response to document largely signed
by Democrats of this city and county, asking
him whether he would accept the nomination
for Congress, of the Petersburg convention, if
extended him, and use all honorable means to
secure his own election, and the success of the
Democratic party. 1t is unnecessary to say,
that like every other modern Democrat, he
stands on the Jefersonian principle of "neither
seeking or declining the nomination for good
Office. Very few office-grasping Democrats
ever failed to publicly endorse this Jefferso-
man doctrine, at least in the particular not
declining such nominations, although tits rath-
er laughable to hear them talk of not seeking
office. But we let this becoming modesty on
the part of Old Line professional ofice-seek-
ers, including theJ udge, pass. In re-publish-
ing Judge Laws letter VIC gave the public the
benefit of quite a little stump speech contain
ed in it, on the subject of the Honly true con-
stitutional an6 conservative party Of the coun-
try" the Old Line Democracy, and the par
ties opposed to it. This is mere innocent
pastime on the part Of The Judge, only in
tended to fatter the Democracy and not cal
culated to hurt any body. We cheer!ully give
place to this political twaddle, as it is ncces-
sary in keeping our readers posted up relative
to the movements Of the Democracy and its
aspirants for Office, to publish the whole let
ter. But we would suggest to Judge Law,
that when he places in the mouths OF the
American party such watchwords IS down
with the Pope, demolish the Catholic church
and be sure and show the foreigner no favor
politically or otherwise. /" he is exhibiting per-
lsonal enthusiasm and party devotion at the
expense of common honesty and decency.-
This may recommend him TO the Stop and
trash of his party, but not to the real stamina
of any party. @ -
The Democracy are having a sweet time
lover this nomination. Vanderburgh county
is divided between Law and Lockhart. The
one man organ is supporting the latter, who is
also backed by others whose zeal may proba-
bly, overbalance the injury inflicted upon. his
, prospects by the ad Focacy of the organ. Law
is strong in his way, and although he is quiet
his friends are active 1t will be ''dog eat dog
It'll the 18th ofJune, when We should not be
surprised il some big dog jumped in and swal-
ifowed them both, or at least snatched the Con
gre ssional bone and made off with it.

Dear SRA willingness to acknowledge

characteristic of high-minded intelligent men;

disposition manifested in those for whom we

politician; and [ can assure youaud Mr.. Hicks
himself that his candor in admitting Gas am

altogether unwarranted in his complaints
against the Democratic party, is duly appre-

and still in forest the North-C arolina hog Is
and should be, very different kind of animal.
He has almost as much mind as some men
and women that have seen, and this is one
of his prime accomp ishments. In a country
that abounds in worms, weeds, acorns, and
other mast, he is with good reason expected
to be enterprising and indusirious-to shift
for himself. If know of one that has Ingen-
uity and audacity in ge; ting through or over
a fence into corn field and helping himself
there, respect him the more on that account,
and when he comes to be brought upon the
table, | find his bacon the more savory and
luscious tor that very reason. But this is not
al. There are some men, who if you stuff
them with seven pounds of fat beer day, will
be like Pharaoh's lean kline, even If they are
not mere walking Skeletons 1t is not in them
to thrive and grow fat. On the other hand,
we meet now and then with an old woman,
who If you supply her with corn bread and
give her water that Is we'll peopled with tad
poles and other reptiles, the Larvae and eggs
of insects will expand and swell out indef-
initely. 1t is the same with regard 30 tn
hog. I mean to say there is the same kind
OF difference between individuals and races.
A Chatham man. some yea ago, as was re-
turning from Peterborough 10 the University,
took me round to see sow and her litter of
pigs, belonging to him and which he proposed
to sell me. AS they appeared to be healthy
and he commended them highly, made the
purchase. Things went we'll enough till the
pigs Were grown and were shut up IN the lat
ter part of October to be converted into pork.
l then found that mi hit just we'll attempt
to fatteD the same number OF pine shingles.
Other hogs. unlike :hese, show disposition
from their pighood to laugh and grow fat
Thee, If they are also industrious are the kind
for North-Carohna, and many thou>a and dollars
may unquesI ionablJ be saved in the State
every year, by they gradual formation through
ed trials of breed o. this kind. To expect
that any hog will fatten on absolute stafva-
ton, Is unreas enable but we want such as
will make pork with the smallest possible
d. ain on the corn crib. When, tn rcforc, this
kind OF stock is of red in competition for any
kind fprize, the judges should in my opin-
ion pay some regl1d to the intellectual and
moral character, as we'll as the form and size
of the animal. The history OF his past life
should be called for. What part of the bone
and muscle and fat that is her. has been gath
cred out Of the woods or stubbe fl Id, and how
much is the result Simply of high feeding p

FIGHTING IN NICARAGUA.

By the arrival of the steamship Texas,
recently from San Juan, we learn the
following:
Recently party of thirty Americans
serving in the Nicaraguan army, under the
command of Col. Mcdonald, attacked and
drove behind their barricades a large
number of rebels, numbering so, perhaps
more In the encounter an American was
killed and several wounded. Subsequently
number of citizens Of Granada volunteered
and marched against the same band Of
rebels. Ell Nicaragucnse says:
Upon a consultation it was deemed
advisable to form the company into three
divisions, each to be led on by officers
chosen from among themselves. Bryon
Cole was then elected Colonel, and Wiley
Marshall second in command. Robert
Miligan was elected to lead the first
company to make the charge-out Of this
nineteen were killed, wounded and missing
Mai. Col. O'Neal was chosen to lead the
second, and Captain Watkins, of Masaya,
the third company. When all these
arrangements had been completed, the
companies separated to attack the place at
three different points.
In commencing thus, one party got in
advance of the others, who were obliged to
make somewhat of detour, and, although
consisting Of only twenty-five men, its attack
was SO vigorous that it succeeded in driving
the enemy back, and shortly after the other
companies came upon the scene of action
the vigor of the assault drove the enemy
from the corral into the house. Here
pancity of the number of the assailants
became manifest, to their disadvantage.
There were not sufficient to hold the place
after it was taken, and they were obliged
to fall back again behind the fence of the
corral. This left the enemy in their former
position.
The fighting continued in the corral, and
when the Americans retired behind its walls
it became evident from the mum er that
had been either killed or wounded that it
would be injudicious to renew the attack.
A retreat was ordered, and the gallant little
band fell back upon Tipitapa.
