The Recent Affair at Goldsboro'.

We pleased to see that the good sense and law
respecting instincts of more thoughtful and ntiuen
tial of the good citizens of Golsboro about to
triumph over the hasy impulses OF the more excita'
BILE, and that the effort to turn most painful occur
renee into still more painful crusade against par
tcua class of citizens is likely TO be arrested as it
should be, and as the good of the town de-
mand that it must be.
Some, with sweeping hand or voice have camor-
ed for the expulsion from Goldsboro of all persons of
foreign extraction, because difficulty had arisen be-
tween Dr.. Davis and some persons of foreign birth
With the circumstances of that case, and with It's
terrible results, our readers are already well in
formed as we are. We can only add that at the date
of the latest news from Goldsboro', DR.. Davis had
been removed to his own residence, and was conpar.
atively comfortable, with the exception OF intense
pain from his finger which had been shot through BY
the ball which entered the back of the younger Oden.

BRITISH EXPORTS. The Washington Union Of
Saturday evening publishes table of the exports of
the month of May, and the first five months of the
years 1855, 1856 and 1857, respectively. showing
great and steady increase from year to year.
For the month of May, 1855, the exports were
$40,246,23O; same month of 1856, $4,000, 500 !;
same 1857, $56911, 900. For the first five months
of 1855, the exports were STA 1865 of 1856,
1915, $50 ,645; of 1857, 25O977.7O5. This growth
is almost unprecedented in the history of the world,
while the aggregate exceeds anything known among
men; and, with her immense internal trade and
productive industry, explains how England is able to
move along quietly under burdens that would, ere
this, have crushed any other European State. Cot
ton manufactures amount 10 one fourth of the whole
mass of British exports, and much larger proportion
of her domestic consumption of manufactured goods
the raw material and its products amount 10 over
half of the exports of the United States. Three.
fourhs of all the cotton imported into Great Britain
during the first five months OF the present year came
from the United States of the balance two-thirds
came from the East Indies. This latter supply, il
not totally cut off, will be reduced to nearly nothing
BY the disturbances now existing in that county,
The other European States are still more dependen
upon this country for their supply.

RIGHTEOUSNESS of S1ockhoIm.

Stockholm has been called the mos, licentious city
in Europe, and, have no doubt, with the most per.
feet justice. Vienna may surpass it in amount of
conjugal inhdeny, but certainly not in general in.
confluence. Very nearly half the registered births
are legitimate. to say nothing of the illegitimate
girls and seamstresses in the city, il is very safe to
say that scarcely one out of a hundred Is chase,
while as rakish young Swedes have coolIy informed
me, large proportion of girls of respectable paren-
tage, belonging 10 the middle class, are not much
better. The men, of are much worse than the
women, and even in Paris sees fewer ply steal
signs OF excessive debauchery Here, the number of
broken down young men, and beareyed, hoary sim
ners is astonishing. have never been in any place
where Nervousness was so open and avowed- and
where the slang of sham morality was so prevalent
There are no hOnses Of prostitution in Stock holm,
and the city would be scandaZed at the idea tf al
lowing such thing. A few years ago two were es.
tabllshed, and the fact no sooner known than
7iruous mob arose and violently pulled them down !!
1t is but fair to say that the Swedes account for
the large proportion of llegtmate births by stating
that many unfortunate females come up from the
country hide their shame in the capital which is,
no doubt, true. Everything that | have said has
been derived from residents Of Stockholm, who proud
as they are and sensitive cannot conceal this glazing
depraviy The population of Stockholm, as is prov
ed by Statistics has only been increased during the
last htty years by immigration from the country, the
number of deaths among the inhabitants exceeding
the births by several hundred every year. I was
once speaking with Swede about these facts which
he seemed inclined to doubt.
But" said |, they are derived from your own
statistics"
"We!l," he answered, with a naive attempt to
find some compensation good, "you must, at least,
admit that the Swedish statistics are as exact as any
in the world :"

O. We are endebted 10 the publishers, Messrs. E.

d., Bishop of North Carolina, at the Ordination TO

and Thomas Goeet Haughton. on Whitsunday 1857,
during the Session of the Diocesan Convention of
North Carolina, and published by request of the
Convention"
We have hardly had time to glance at this Ser.
mon, but the little we have been able to read has
convinced US that ii is able production. With the
doctrnal propositions have nothing in this place
to do, more than to state as fact, that Dr. Atkinson
appears to claim for the Anglican Church direct
Apostolic Succession, and for the American Branch
of the Fro ,estant Episcopal Chuch, the
cession, derived through the Anglican Church, which
succession he deems essential to the validity of a
Church-such appears to be Bishop Atkinson's posi-
tion which is what is known, we believe, as High
Churchism.
We have had also from the same publishers, a
Sermon delivered recently before the Societies of the
United Baptist Institute at Taylorsvile, by the Rev.
James Mcdaniel. We are unable now TO lay our
hands on it, We fear thai some admirer of Mr. Nc
Daniel may have taken it off to read it. We should
have liked the opportunity of doing ourselves, for
what we did read pleased us very much.

The loss by death of her masters child.

are more common in the slave states than the abo.

readers.

THE WILMINGTON JOURNAL
Next Thursday.

We have not deemed it necessary to indulge in
warm exciting appeals the eve OF an election,
which, so far this district is concerned bears
of the characteristics of contest And the same
remark will apply to the districts Immediately sur.
rounding as. Neither Rufhn, Craige, nor Branch,
have any ostensible opponents, and no doubts exist
of their election. Free Suffrage have endeavour.
ed to bring TO the attention of the voters, and have
so far as opportunity avaied u.s. sent Out" approved"
tickets, along with those for Winsow for Congress
At some points there would appear to be an effort
made to get out vote in opposition to Free Suffrage
That effort will be Intellectual, we believe. Events
have shown too plainly the public opinion of The
State in its favour, to leave any remaining doubts
upon that score, and defeat now would be simply
snap Judgment obtained against that opinion by taking
advantage of the apathy generally prevailing, and
the very general impression that it must succeed,
and that, therefore, great effort Is required In its
favour It is best always 10 be on the safe side 1t
is best to come up and vote fully and fairly and then
nothing will be left 10 chance
The same will apply to the elections for Congress.
Mr.. Winslow has no opposition. We know Mr..
Meares too well, to dream for a moment that he
would consent to be last hour candidate, with the
hope of slipping in by accident, simply because
Democrats, seeing opposition, might not tako the
trouble to fight where there is no opponent Yet ii
is always best 10 guard against accidents. How
Simply by Democrats doing their own duty, and
leaving others to theirs, they may think best
That is always the safest plan. Then no contn-
penc7 can occur adverse to the wishes Of the major
ity.
We allude to this matter simply from seeing the
recommendation in the Fayetteville argus and Viii
mington Herald that the opponents OF the Democracy
should on Thursday next. cast their votes for o. T.
Meares, ESQ., of Wilmington, very clever, worthy
gentleman, we admit. but totally opposed to the po-
litica principles of every Democrat in the District
By the way, the last argus, with GOODNESS Pecu-
liar to ITSELF in it's latter days especially in rayng
the opposition against Winslow and for Meares, says
that Mr. Winslow has never lost an opportunity to
abuse the Wing and American parties. Formerly it
was the cant of the Argus to stigmatse MIR. WinsIow
as an old Wing, as insncere in his professions oil
Democracy, &c.; this was when David Reid, quasi
Democrat, but initiated Know Nothing, was running
against him. and the object was to weaken the conf
dence of the Democracy in their candidate, tor 1t was
hoped to carry many Democrats to the standard OF
Sam Now the thing is changed. Antagonist TO
Democracy is the cue, and Mr.. Winslow is openly
stgmased " one who has neUer lost an opportunity
to abuse the Wing and American parties"

New Hanover County Wheat.

know that is equal 10 the best, if it be not indeed,
the very best, that has made its appearance in this
market.
The produce the acre is above the average OF the
wheat-growing sections of the United States being

an extent of some seventy acres. We don't believe
that the average even of the English farming dis
