MEssRs. HOLDEN & Wnsog: Your neighbor of the
Register is a very funny man. Having devoted the
past few months to the abuse Of Democratic public
men, in the confusion of battle and defeat he turns
his whitening artillery upon the best men of his own
party. -. g..
That is, Messrs Editors, what charity would sug-
gest as an excuse, had he not excluded it by his
leader in which he says that "there was not enough
battle to create much smoke"
We still think, disregarding the smoEy assertion,
that the Editor of the Register so blinded, not
only by the SMOKE but the result of the battle in the
LIST and 9th Districts that he got up the last issue Of
his paper before he had fully recovered his eye
sight
If this be not so, upon what more charitable
grounds can the following notice and the first sen.
tence of the editorial article headed, "Served 'em
right" be placed, unless that the devil put them
in while the Editor figuring up the "contradic-
tary reports" from the LIST District.
The articles referred to read as follows:
eek Governor Graham, of this State, was in New
York last week. en- route for Saratoga and Newport"
In to-day paper we publish an account of an.
other of those numerous facases which annually
at Northern watering places, between free ne
groes, fugitive slaves, and the Southern spooneys
who soi seek these places of resort in spite of the
risk of being insulted or kicked out by them"
Save US from our friends" say we.

not asssed by the artillery of bright eyes and syiPn
like forms, moving with the ease and elasticity Of
Thracian Rhodope, and enchanted by music, pc
wi.chng almost as that of Calypso and her nymphs.
The truth is, Messrs Editors, that am 30 full OF

pc might for the want of proper knowledge OF the
pleasures, comforts, and enjoyments OF this place,
" throw off this mortal coil" or ibis quietus make
with bare bodkin."
Now, sirs will assure you that Shocco Springs,
at this time and will until frost and the whitening
wintry blasts shall show the scar and yellow leaf
present as many attractions for rational enjoymens
and social pleasures as any place in the Union
Everything here seems tremendously blended and
united to tranqulize all the discordant and opposing
elements of happiness. There are about It's board
ers, comprising beauty, wit grace, liveness honor,
intelligence, dignity and urbanity. All things are
new neat and appropriate, and conducted in SO easy
and silent manner that you wonder whence they
come. If men ever were suited for the management
of such an establishment, Mr.. Sessums and his CO.
adjutor, Mr.. Tyler, are. You thought, Mr. Senior,
well of Warren, and SO wrote after your visit to it
in June, at Warrenton. Let me advise you 10 come
now to its Springs and spend week or SO, and I
will warrant you TO return in perfect state of rap
ture and were you little older, would say of re-
juvenescence. Tell all your young folks, aye, and
old ones too, to come in time and be here at the
Tournament Sessums is arranging to come off soon.
Have you no beauty who would aspire to the Crown
No Knight who, like Sir Brien De Bots Gilbert, is
willing to break lance with the disinherited or
knight of the black piumel Nous Uer.ons.

A gain of two members by the Democrats.
The majority for Mr.. Gmer, in a District largely
f. N is not more than 800 to 1000; while the ma
orities for Messrs Rufin, Winslow Branch, Craige,
and Clingman each will range from 4, 600 to 6000
Ashe County has not yet been heard from, but We
may safely estimate the majority for Mr. Scales at
700. No more brilliant political victory was ever
achieved than that won by the Democrats of the
Sixth District And it is complete, conclusive
as it is brilliant. majority of sec has been turn.
ed and in addition to that, the Democracy have
rolled up from seven to eight hundred for their
nv sandard-bearer. Well may the Democrats of
the 9th District rejoice. They have right to be
proud of the result of their abors and of their in
flexible adherence to principle.
The election of DR.. Shaw is now conceded by the
opposition. His majority will be about Is. Taking
all the circumstances into consideration this is bril-
liant victory. The District has been Wing by de.
cided majority, and the revolution in it has been
achieved by hard work. aided by the force Of truth
and correct principles. Mr.. Smith, the competitor
Of DR.. Shaw, is the strongest man the opposition
could have run in the District and every effort
resorted to to elect him. One of his leading friends,
Mr.. Pool, took the stump for him and thong his
will was good and he earnestly strove to benefit his
friend. yet we doubt whether he increased his vote
to any perceptible extent. Certainly he did not in
Halifax, where he was so handsomely and calamity
met by Mr.. Ransom, one of the champions of De-
mocratic principles.
We point with pride and qualification to the De-
mocratic representation in Congress from this State
They are all able and true unconditional Democrats
who will give cheerful and cordial support to the
administration of Mr.. Buchanan.
P. S. Since the above was in type we have re-
ceived the vote Of Ashe, giving Scales s92 Puryear
III. Scales majority in the District is about 72b.
The Elizabeth City Pioneer of the 10Th gives the
vote of all the Counties in the First District, and
makes Shaw's majority 45. The vote, however, is
not official. Of one thing we satisfied, and that
is that Shaw is elected be his majority what it may,
The Pioneer has Smiths majority in Tyrrel 49,
whereas We have it l73 in our table. We are in
cned to think the Pioneer is right.

Bryan was owing Ross debt of 20 cents. Ross
dunned him for the amount. Bryan borrowed the

charged Bryan with having once stolen some bacon,

whereupon Bryan drew knife from his pocket and

The Triumphs of Know NOthingism.


The Know Nothings have one member of the
House Of Representatives from the three sovereign
States of Virginia, North Carolina, and South Caro-
lima. Just think Of i:!-one member from three
States; and that member is Mr.. Gilmer of the Gull
ford District who recently defeated for Govern
or by only thirteen thousand majority. :
The triumphs of Know Nothingsm are indeed
striking and impressive. They have rendered them
selves an object of general attention. Every body
congratulates them on their success and all eyes arr
turned upon Mr.. Gilmer as the lone dark lantern
from Virginia, North Carolina, and South. Carolina

Democratic candidate be elected overAr. Gimer
it would be the last feather the camels back,
we should feel like taking seat and rest for tn

swept clean. You must overlook any little jocular
