LAND TO BE SOLD

land is owned by the heirs of Isaac Clay, and
one interest therein is claimed by one Noah
Rinck, as the purchaser from David Clay, ono
of the heirs at law Of the said Isaac Clay; the
other heirs at law are unknown to the said
Sheriff.
One other tract formerly owned by Conrad
Michal decd. and now owned by w. II. Mich
al and all the other heirs at law of said Conrad
Nichal, decd said tract Of land lies oil the
waters of Leeper's Creek, adjoining the lands Of
Michael Miller, Henry Bisaner. and others, con-
tanning about 200 acres; the taxes due on said

AMERIcAN-wHIcs.

"Haf-fesh and hall. foul" wings first,
know-nothings second, wings third, Amer
leans fourth, and "American-whigs" fifth
and-we came near saying last, but as
there is no telling how many different
names and shapes the opponents of demo-
cracy will assume, we will not say last
American whigs" who are they! oh!
consistency, art thou not a jewell
When the know-nothing party was rather
in the ascendancy in the country. it took
occasion to denounce both the old whig
and democratic parties, pronouncing them
corrupt, and as having deceived the people.
1t is we'll known that a majority of those
who composed the know nothing organiza-
ton were previously identified with the
whig party; but this fact did not prevent
them from adopting a platform declaring
their old party corrupt. Now those very
men are again claiming to be wings, but not
having the courage to acknowledge shame
for their ungrateful course, take to them
selves the name of American whigs," thus
implying that man who is simply whig
is not an American.
But the term American-whig is used for
the purpose of arraying the men who never
bowed the knee to the secret party, togeth-
er with the dispersed members of that par
ty, against the democratic forces which
they have not heretofore been able to de-
feat. How far this amalgamating, soft
soldering, unmeaning name and scheme will
serve to accomplish their desiIes, remains
to be seen.
Although we have always been opposed
to the old wing party, we never yet thought
proper to pronounce it corrupt, as did its
old friends who fell heels overhead in love
with peculiar Americanism, i. e. know
nothingism, and who swore so terribly
against Roman Catholics and foreigners,
Notwithstanding many of them rugged the
''furriners' on election day for their votes. }
We say that although we have ever oppos-
ed the whig party, we know its principles
were honestly advocated by some Of the
best men in the country, and the know
nothing party should at least have accorded
to them honesty of purpose if nothing else.
The men in North Carolina who are now
raising the banner of American whiggery
are the ones who shouted ''amen'' when the
platform was promulgated denouncing the
wing party as corrupt and unworthy of
trust. Is it possible that old line wings
can be deceived into the support of such
heterogeneous party as the one now being
organized in this State ! We do not be-
Iieve so, but we shall see what we shall see.

GOVERNOR OF KANSAS.

1t is stated that the personal efforts of
the President caused Mr. Walker to accept
the Governorship of Kansas Territory. He
will not be mere routine officer, but goes
out as q Commissioner with full power to
employ all the constitutional authority of
the Government to prevent the occurrence
of impending civil war. His Instructions
are said to be based on the principle that
the statues of Kansas are valid. He is
principally charged to see that the people
have free and independent suffrage in the
affairs of the territory, carrying out the
provisions of the registry law in the election
for delegates and members of the State
Convention.
The troops heretofore employed are to be
removed, and others not before implicated
in the affairs of the Territory, substituted !;
but not with any expectation of a necessity
to call on them for aid. Mr. F. p. Staun-
ton. of Tennessee, has been appointed Sc
cretary for the Territory, upon whom (ru-
NOR says) the administration of the territory
will descend after Walker straightens mat
tiers and resigns.

PORT OF WILMINGTON, N. c.

In order that the people of the west may
know more about the business of our main
seaport, Wilmington, we copy from the Her
aid the following, which it publishes in con-
nection with comparative table of exports
for the first quarter of the present year:
1T will be seen from our statement for
the quarter which has just expired, that we
have exported coastwise : 1892 casks Spirits
of Turpentine, less than during the same
time last year 1878 bbls. Crude do, more;
1865 do Rosin, less IL Dab Tar less :;
I34 do. Pitch. less 81 1866 feet p. p. Tim
Der, less; 409, 720 feet Lumber, less; r.
800 Slaves, more 1I.34S bushels Ground
Peas, more 92I bbls. Flour, less; 1867
bales Cotton, less; AL bundles Paper, more;
I31I4 bushels Rough Rec, more :, lao
bushels Wheat, more.
We have exported to foreign countries
266 casks Spirits Turpentine more than for
the first quarter of 1856; 698 bbls. Crude
Turpentine, less 6,573 do. Rosin, more !;
,O53 do. Tar, less 100 do. Pitch, more

Lumber more $4,000 Shingles, more ); Al
263 Slaves, more 40 bbls. Flour, less SO
bales Cotton, less; 100 bushels Wheat,
more.
1t thus appears that III coastwise exports
we have fallen off, as compared with last
year, in the articles of Spirits Turpentine,
Rosin, Tar, Pitch, Timber, Lumber, Flour
and Cotton, and have gained in Crude Tur
pentine Slaves, Ground Peas, Paper, Rough
Rice and Wheat.
In foreign exports we have fallen off in
Crude Turpentine, Tar, Flour and Cotton,
and have gained in Spirits Turpentine,
ROsin Pitch, Timber, Lumber, Shingles,

New YORK, April3.-The steamer Texas
arrived here last night, from San Juan on
the Goth and Aspinwall on the Odd ult.
The purser of the Texas reports that
Walkers army was in good condition and
well provisioned.
Walker with 400 men attacked the Allies
at San Jorge, gained the plaza and burnt
the important portion of the town. He
then retreated to Rivas, which had, during
his absence, been attacked by Chamorros
with 1900 men, who had been repulsed with
great slaughter by Gen. Henningsen.-
Walker met the enemy retreating, and they
were consequently placed between two fires
and suffered immensely. Their own ac-
count says they lost 327 killed and Over
300 wounded, while Walker estimates their
loss at GOO killed and 500 wounded. He
states his own loss at killed and 81 wound
ed. Walker had the dead bodies buried.
Gen. Canas, commander in chief of the
Allies, was under arrest for having made
overtures to Walker.
President RIvas had been assassinated.

FURTHER FROM CHINA.

A letter dated Canton, Jan. b. speaking
of the burning of that city by the British
says:
THE extent which has been destroyed is
a line of perhaps two miles along the north
bank of the river, and penetrating inwards
from 300 to 400 yards. A considerable
part of the city has also been burned by
the firing from the fort, which is held by us.
The fire lasted about twenty-four hours.
The admiral has written for about 5000
men from India; we also expect 400 from
Singapore. We have not yet heard what
effect these proceedings have had on the
Chinese garrison; the extraordinary thing
is, that what we DO here does not in the
least affec. the other ports of China with
which we trade. All accounts show that
they are quite Indifferent to this place, and
rather glad than otherwise that the Can
tonese, whom they hate, are getting touch
ed up.
