A GOOD ENDING.

Miss Murray, distinguished authoress,
thus winds up her book of the United
States:
Zone might as well hope to improve the
morals and increase the happiness of an
idiot by turning him out of an asylum, as
to hope for benefit for the negro from abo-
litionsm. The truth is, abolitioniSts do not
seek to benefit the negro race; if they did
they might have fine valley for the over
bursting of their bowels of compassion, in
caring for the poor. degraded free negroes
among them. And instead of their prayer
and penance for tho well-clothed, happy
negroes in the South. whose eyes stick out
with fairness, they would do much better to
remember the spirits Of those who have
been enticed from their happy homes in the
South, aud died from cold and hunger in
Canada"

NORTHERN PUBLICATIONS.

The Saturday Evening Post, a Philadel-
phia paper, extensively circulated in Vir-
ginia and other Southern States, is enrap-
ed in publishing Mrs. Stoves new abolition
novel. We warn the public against this in
cendiary sheet. The circulation of it in
the South ought to be suppressed.
1t is strange (says the Richmond Dis
patch) that the South shouldneglect its own
periodicals. and lavish its patronage upon
every literary publication of the NORTH
Here is Harper's Magazine. for instance,
freely circulated through Observation-Disclosures,
preferred by thousands of Southern men to
their more meritorious, but less pretending
works, which is actually edited by Black
Republican, and that Black Republican the
Lieut.. Governor of New York, and the edi-
tor of the New York Times, the most insid-
ious and malignant foe in the whole North
of Southern institutions. Ofcourse, he ne
yer omits an opportunity, when he dares,
to strew his political stryohnine over the
literary repast of which he is the caterer.
On the 18th inst. the Grand Jury of Shinn-
ston, (Va-) found true bill against the
Postmaster of that town, for circulating, by
delivery to subscribers, copies of the New
York Tribune. A Mr.. GEORGE SLocUN
preferred the charge, and made affidavit that
the Tribune was an abolition document.

FREMONT IN NORTH CAROLINA.

One of the boys at Chapel Hill 1--WE guess
it ISL has been quizzing the New York Courier
and Enquirer with a long account of Ere
mont's popularity, and the extreme unpopu-
Iarity of Fillmore and Buchanan, in North
Carolina. The writer, who dates from Or
ange County. and signs himself "a true
North Carolinian," very gravely expresses
the opinion that the obstacle to Fremont's
success in North Carolina is, that the news
papers are under the control of the old pol
iticians and cannot be made aware Of the
peoples will in the course of the few months
remaining before the election! And the
editor of the Courier is green enough to
publish all this as reliable information of
the state of feeling in North Carolina

MR. PILLMoREs CHANCES.

When Democrat would warn the peo-
pie ofthe South ofthe dangers which threaten
them, and urge them to unite upon Mr.. Bu-
ohanan as the only man who can defeat the
Rlaok-RepubliGan candidate, they are de-
nounoed i'll the most unmeasured terms by
the Fillmore press. and their assertions cha
racterized as "Locofoco lies" w. wish
to call attention to the following extract
from a letter written by the Editor of the
Fayetteville (N. c. Observer, who has been
for some weeks past in the city of New
York, and gives candidly his impressions of
the present aspect of the Presidential cues
ton. Let it be borne in mind that the OBJ
server is an old Wing paper, and its editor
warm admirer of Mr.. Fillmore. The ex-
tract is as follows;

Mr.. Buchanan delivered the above speech
In tbs House Of Representatives, in 1870.
He was at that tine soundcr and much
better southern or slavery man, than many
southerners themselves, Four years after
wards Tin 1880 Virginia entertained stron-
ger anti-slavery sentiments thap those ex-
pressed above by Mr.. Buchanan. In her
Copyention of that year, she came very
aear abolishing slavery, on the ground that
it was not only an "evil,'' but one nth re-
medy. Subsequent events and discussion
however, have at length brought Virginia
to agree with Mr.. Buchanan, that il slave
ry be an evil, it is IAN evil withHut q RENEE
dy."
Mr.. Buchanan is still in favor Of the ac-
QUESTION of Cuba, as u means of defence
and protection to the South-as we will
show in cur neat paper, by publishing a
copy of the "Ostend AHpifesto"-a docu-
ment, not only bitterly denqqnced by all the
fanatics of the North, bur, strange TO say,
by most if not all of the Know-Nothing
party of the South.

PRODUCTION OF COTTON.

At a recent meeting of the British Asso-
citation for the Advancement of Science,
Mr.. Dawson read an interesting paper on
Cotton. It consisted of series of propo-
sitions, of which the following is a short
resume:
That cotton, from the conditions of eli
mate necessary to it's culture, cannot be
grown in Europe, but that, with the single
and not important exception of the facto-
ries in the New England States of America,
it is and must long continue to be manu-
featured almost exclusively in Europe. 2.
That the present supply is chiefly raised,
and for the present must continue to be
raised, by slave labor-seeing that while
for fifty years we have sought over the
whole earth for cotton, we have during that
time continued to receive from the slave
States of the American Union a continually
increasing proportion of our entire supply.
3. That two-thirds in number at least of
the slave population of the United States
have been called into existence, and are
now directly or indirectly maintained, for
the supply of cotton for expectation. a..
That of the cotton thus exported, three
fourths at least in value are raised for and
sent to this country alone. And, 5. That
OF the entire quantity we import, four fifths
at least in value are derived from the Uni
ted states. Each proposition was support
ed by tabular accounts extracted from the
public records of this country and the Uni
ted States, and the conclusion was express

SYMPATHY FOR THE FALLEN.

For my part, confess 1 have not the
heart to take an offending man OF woman
from the general crowd of sinful, erring be-
ings, and judge them harshly. The little 1
have seen of the world, and know of the his
tory of mankind, teaches me to look upon
the errors of others in sorrow, not in anger.
When I take the history of one poor heart
that has sinned and suffered, and represent
to myself the struggles and temptations
through which it has passed, the brief pull
sation of joy, the feverish inquietude of
hope and fear, the tears of regret, the fee
bleness of purpose, the pressure of want,
the desertion of friends, the scorn of the
world that has but little charity, the desola-
ton of the souls sanctuary, and the threat
ening voice within; health gone, even hope,
that stays longest with US, gone, I have lit
tie heart for aught else but thankfulness,
that it is not so with me, and would fain
leave the erring soul of my fellow being
with Him from whose hands it came.

Woodson's and Col. Titus's houses were
blown to pieces. We hear of nothing but
distress now from Kansas, and while write

relief. Col. McCarty and all of our folks
will leave tonight. We will go in this
time with a force sufficient to clean out
Kansas, you may rely on that; and this at
tack will make Kansas slave State, be-
yond all doubt. Let me assure you that
Missourians will never go into Kansas again
without driving out the last scoundrel.-
Before eight days have elapsed, Missouri
will send in five thousand 'border ruffians,
and they will never leave as long as thore
is an Aboltionist in that beautiful Terrific
ry. They have been there twice, and the
third time will tell the tale. Nothing is
surer now than that Kansas will be slave

MILITARY FORCES FOR KANSAS


A letter from Secretary Marcy, dated
Washington, September Cd, to Governor
Geary, instructs him to have the Military
of the Territory completely enrolled and
organized, to the end, that they may at
short notice be brought into the service OF
the United States. Also directs him to fur
nish Gen. Smith with such number of troops
as may be deemed necessary for enforcing
the Laws of the United States, the mainte-
nance of public order and civil government
in the Territory of Kansas.
Jefferson Davis, Secretary of War, on
the I'd of September, writes to Gen. Smith,
and informs him of the instructions sent to
Gov. Geary; and authorizes him to draw on
the Governor for such militia force, as may
be required promptly and successfully to
execute his orders and suppress insurrec-
ton. Also informs him, if such forces are
not sufficient, such additional number oi
militia as may be necessary, must be drawn
from the States of Illinois and Kentucky.
Secretary Davis, on September Sd, writes
to the Governors of Illinois and Kentucky
and makes requisition in the name of the
President of the United States for two reg
iments of foot militia when called for by
Gen. Smith.
