STILL THEY COME.

The Charleston Evening News is support
ing Buchanan and Breckenridge. That pa
per has heretofore been an advocate of
.AmcricaniSm' and its editor, John Cum
bingham, ESD, was delegate to and one
| of the Vice Presidents of the first Philadel-
! Phia and Know \ othing Convention. The
! New Bedford (Mas%) Express, the Know
Nothing organ, has recanted, seen the error
Of its way, and hoisted the Democratic flag
! of - Buck and Brock" The paper is well
F.! got up and ably edited. The Democrats of
New Bedford deserve to be embalmed for
the energy and devotion and liberality with
which they keep up their organization in
! that hot bed of Freesoilism and Federalism.

~ The Jersey City Telegraph, hereto
fore neutral paper, h"ists the flag of Buch-
anan and breckenridge, and thus announ-
ccS the fact:
I'VE hoist at our masthead the White
folks ticket. On are emblazoned the names
of statesmen who are before the 1ChOie A
mcrican people for their suiTragcs to pre-
side over the destimes of this whole nation.
That James Buchanan, the first of Amer-
can statesman, will be elected TO the most
important office in the world. no one who
is of sound mind, we think, will doubt for
moment But if, on the other hand, there
was the least prospect of defeating him and
elccting u sectional or halfway individual
in his stead, all true patriots would despair
IF this glorious Republic
FATAL ACCIDENT.-David Upright, OF
this county, (says the Salisbury Watch
many while running his wagon out of his
barn, caught the wheel ON the door which
fell, crushing him to the ground and so in
juring him that he only survived forty-six
hours. He breathed his last on Saturday
morning the 18th of July. Aged 60 years.
SINGULAR CIRCUMSTANCE.-A farmer
in Lincoln county, Tenn, a few days ago,
while blowing, his horse and plow sunk and
disappeared in the earth. leaving hole to
which no bottom has yet been found, and in
which the farmer himself came near falling
His ncighbors were called to the place, who,
by means of ropes let him down in search
of the horse and pillow, to the depth of thir-
ty or forty feet, but the further he went the
larger the hole appeared. and he called to his
friends to pull him up, which they did.
ESLADIFS HAVE TRYING TINES AT THE
WATERING PLACEs.-A lady writes from
Newport: I'VE have to dress about nine
times day here. First we put on dress
to dress in. Then we are ready for break
fast. After that we dress for the beach,
then for the bath, then for dinner, then for
the drive, then for the ball. and then for the
bed. If that isn't being put through re-
gular course of dimity and diamonds, then
Pm no Judge of such performances"
A CHANGE OF FoRTUNE.-On Friday
VIM. II. Wilder started for Baton Rouge,
a manaoled convict, on board of the steam
boat Capitol. He is to remain in the Peni-
Tertiary for ten years for fraudulent deal
ings in bounty land warrants. 1t is a some
what singular fact that the last previous
visit of Wilder TO Baton Rouge was as
legislator, and that prison discipline was
theme on which he occasionally waxed elo
quent. His opportunities of serving the
State in her legislative halls were more
limited, as to time, than his present and
prospective opportunities will be in 1.-THE
other institution"
