STAGE ACCIDENT. - On Wednesday
evening, as the Grass Valley stage was
going down the hill this side of the Ex-
change, in Grass Valley, the break gave
way. The driver, Frank Cleveland,
was thrown from his seat. The horses
ran furiously down the hill, and into the
town, distance of three quarters of a
mile, turning two corners in their course.
Near the Methodist Church, South, the
stage upset. There were nine passen-
gers, of whom FIVE were ladies. Three
of the ladies were Injured by the fall
and one of them-Madam Moore-se-
riously. The other passengers escaped
without serious injury. Our informant,
Mr.. Daughetee was somewhat bruised.
Frank Cleveland was badly injured by
his fall. He was taken to his rooms at
Grass Valley.
After the upset, the horses ran about
one hundred and fifty yards and were
stopped.

WEALTH OF SPAIN.-A recent lectur-
er, Mr.. George Sumner, asserts that a
great historical error has been made, in
relation to the amount of mineral wealth
drawn by Spain from her early Ameri
can conquests. He says that the Span
ish government has permitted him to
"see the papers" and that, during the
fifty years succeeding the conquest OF
Cortez, when all Europe was filled with
accounts of millions upon millions of gold
and silver drawn by Spain, from the
Mexican mines, all the gold SO obtained
was S49S, ,15O-and all the silver 1880
If this be SO, Spain played deep game
inthose days, for it was by her reputed
wealth that she retained her Importance
and influence among the natives.

this place to-day, minus Mr.. Waddell, (who was ar

chosen from the good citizens of the county of Chat

kept there until the 9th Of August next, to which

very respectable portion of the citizens of Moore in
the Court House. The discussion was opened by
Mr.. Williams, in a speech Of one End half in
length He advocated most eloquently, and with tell
ing success the principles Of the great conservative
constitutional, union democratic party. He showed
conclusvey that the future prosperity and salvation
OF this beloved Union depended solely that party;
that neither the American, K. N, nor the black Re-
publican parties have any flags tackled on to their
feeble mastheads bearing the inscription of nation

event he should be elected to Congress, whom or
what party North of Mason and Dixon's line he
could cooperate WITH save the Democratic party,
that would give the South her just rights upon the
slavery question. He said he was with Mr. Buchan-

inaugural address. Is he going to turn Democrat
when he gets to Washington? The Fates only can
tell. The Americans feared that Mr.. Waddeil was

NASH COUNTY.

MEsSRs HOLDEN & WILSON: The canvass ir Nash
for the Office of County Court Cle,k has just closed.
We have had very quiet time at the precincts in
Nash this summer. We have two candidates Cor
the office of County Court Clerk-Mr. William II.
,Joyncr and Mr.. Benz II. Sorsby Both these gem
tlcmen have acquitted themselves we'll before the
people, and the friends Of each seem to be sangune
as to the Of their man. | have attended
some of the meetings III Nash, and pleased to
see the people so much disposed, as they should be,
to appreciate the worth Of our late and very efficient
representative in Congress, the Hon. OBJ Branch.
At Mannings and Sullivans, the people called on
Dr. John II. Drake, and requested him to make
speech The Doctor responded to the call, and
spoke in that free, easy, and forcblc manner which
has characterized his public speaking for years.
He commenced by saying that on the lst Thursday
in August next they would be called on to vote for
some person to rcpresen; them in this, the 4th Con-
gresscnal District in the next Congress OF the Uni
ted States; and that he felt proud that the Hon. L.
OBJ. Branch the Democratic nominee in this
District and he went on to show 10 the people the
position which Mr.. Branch and the Democratic party
occupy upon the question Of distribution. He
showed that Mr.. Branch was with President Jack
son and many other distinguished statesmen on this
question, and that he was in every respect entitled
to their confidence and support. He said it was
true that the Hon. L. OBJ. Branch had no opponent;
yet, he much desired that every Democrat in the
county should turn out and vote. He then alluded
to the subject Of Free Suffrage; he spoke of the two
modes by which the Constitution might be changed;
he said he in favor of the Legislative mode of
changing the Constitutions stated the many objec-
tons which he had to the Conventional mode. He
said that he in favor of Free Suffrage, and had
been from the time it introduced up to the pres
ent. He said, in a very affecting manner, that
should we have battles to fight, the non-landholder
would be called well as the land owner to take
their places in the field of batte-to defend those
sacred rights won by our forefahers in the revolu
ton, and beqncathed unto rich Inheritance.
Dr. Drake said that the question of Free Suffrage
was now before the people, and he felt confident
that they would rafy it, and that hereafte the nom
landholder would have the right, under the consti-
tuition to vote for candidates to represent them in
the Senate we'll as the House of Commons. He
then alluded to the financial condition of the State,
and closed his remarks. The people seemed much
pleased with his speech, and seemed to be deter
mined to vote for the Hon. L. OBJ. Branch and Free
Suffrage. The Doctor is sound consistent, and re.
liable Democrat.

Yet perhaps, other spot in Egypt possesses more
interest to the Christian traveller; for this same
obelisk-stern, solemn, calm as it now seems in the
sunshine over the waving trees-on the same granite
column have been fixed the eyes Of Abraham and
Jacob. Though Egyptian chronologists dispute
about exact dates believe that all agree on at least
this much--that this obelsk is older than the days
of the Patrarchs, how Old shall not attempt to say.
Strabo tells us Of the magnfcence of Heliopols in
his day, of its temples and avenues of sphinxes its
splendid statues and lofty walls. OF these there are
none now. In the midst of the sandy plain is
grove of trees, surrounded by field of Indian corn.
The grove is, perhaps, seven acres The corn COW
ers twenty more. From this grove you see miles
away, the obelisk shining in the sun. 1t has shone
noon and night they, the sun and the stone, have
welcomed each other and their steadas smiles have
Knocked the changing races ofimmorta men. Around
it once sounded the prayers of the worshippels of
Isis. Around it rang the war-cry of the shepherd
kings, around it the shouts of the men of Pharoah
honoring the elevation of Joseph, around it the
shouts OF the armies gathering to pursue the flying
in every age from the Assyrian invasion to the days
of the Crusades, and to the coming of the child of
Destiny. But the obelisk stands no more proudly
for its age, no more erect because it has Sesos-
iris, Alexander, Saladin and Napoleon. 1t greets
the morning sun as calmly when that sun came
up the Holy Land of David, and it smiles in his
setting rays as quietly when he went down above
But it is grand than ever in its lonesome dig
nifty, among the oranges and pomegranates of Mata-
reeyeh, than it ever was among the sphinxes of the
ancient On.
We crossed the point Of sand and entered the cul-
tivated land the road lying for six miles Just within
the line that divides the desert from the strip oyer
which the Nile flows, and which is highly tisstsd.

HThe General.o

Inquiries have been made, son ~hat
sanguinary tela did Vim. F. Packer win
his title q? nhether in Revolutionary, British,
Iadian, Merican, Cuban or Kansas rars !?
or ,chether he as only Militia hero ?" From
all the histories, both "national and State5
we can obtain, We can say that the General
never mounted his stecd upon the "tented
plain where red Mars was in earnest
nor has he commanded even brigade of
cornstalks and umbrellas amid the cheers
Of peanut, gingerbread, and small-beer
vcnders. His sword is goose quill, and
the stains upon it are ink instead Of blood.
Steuben and Scott are not his textbooks
wire pulling being more eongenial to his
mode Of warfare. His most gallant
"charyes" were-as mudboss, supervisor,
collector, Canal Commissioner, or Auditor
General-upon the State Treasury, from
which, during series Of campaigns cover
ing twenty years, he emerged victorious
after many a closely contested and doubt
full fight. In desperate contests for the
peoples money, General Backes has prov
ed no cowardly soldier, as the rich trophies
of himself, his brother, and his personal
friends abuudautly testify. His last aud
most brilliant display Of tactics-proving
him to be a very Fabius in prudence-was
his drawing out Judge Wilmot, and then
his mastery retreat through the mountain
pass Of Committeedom, whereby he saved
himself, (as did not his vauntiOg prototype
Goliah of Gatb,) and whereby also he is
now able to discharge fierce volley OF
words at a safe distance. As to any bodily
harm be has ever done to Briton, Mex
icau, Fillibuster, or Savage, he is as
il uocent - the child unborn, bis boasted
Quaker training keeping him clear Of all
such vanities! -... ...
When doing what is right, the heart Us
easy, and becomes better every day; but
when practiciug deceit, the mind labors,
