NORTH CAROLINA. - Somehow, they
can't kill "Sam." When they think they
have him crushed out in one place, he
viii appear in another, saucy as ever. In
the Mountain Congressional District Of
North Carolina, for so long represented
BY Mr.. Clingman, there was a vacancy
occasioned by Mr.. Clingman's appoint
ment to the Senate. At the recent Au-
gust election, Vance, the American candi-
date, was elected over his Democratic
opponent by about 1000 majority. Last
year, Clingman's majority was about
5000. Only 1000 gain in one District.
in q single year. The candidates for
Governor of the State, were both Demo
Gratis. Had the Americans taken advan-
take of the division in the Democratic
party, they could have secured that Office
also, and probably a majority in the Leg
islaturs, by which two United States Sen
ators are to be chosen. II the Americans
want to keep above water, they must look
sharp for the ''ropes."

CENTRAL CITY, NEMAHA CeUSTY.-By
reference to our advertising columns, it
will be seen that each shareholder in the
above town is required to pay an assess
ment of 80 upon each share, for the pur-
pose Of entering the town site, and de-
fraying other expenses. We have agreed
to receive for the company any monies
on shares owned by persons living in
this neighbOrhood.
We learn that the prospects of Central
City are Aattering 1t is situated on an
important public thoroughfsre, over which
there Is a great deal of travel. While
there is considerable sickness in that part
of the country, Central City is remarka-
bly, healthy.
A discovery has been made, which is
likely to tell in favor of Central City and
neighborhood. We have been shown
specimens of ore, found but short dis
lance from the town, which judges pro-
nounce to be lead and iron. We are told
that any quantity of these ores are found
there, and that the supply is inexhausti-
bic. Specimens NAV be seen this Office.
We are no judge of ores; but any one
who desires it. can examine the specimens,
by calling at this Office.
Another thing may be said in favor of
Central City. AT the late election, over
eighty votes were cast there, and not one
of them for Proposition Accepted.

EE The vote in Humphrey Marshall's
District, in Kentucky. at the recent cleo
ton, was very close; and the Sag NIGHTS
are Boosting, that next year they will
carry it triumphantly, and leave Hum
phrey at home. If the Kentucky Dem
ocrats could only kill George D. Prentice,
defeat Humphrey Marshall, and bury the
memory of Henry Clay in oblivion, they
would be stated, to their hearts content.
But they need not trouble themselves
Henry Clay's memory will live, and
Humphrey Marshall will not only be re-
elected, but good Americans will be sent
in place of Jim Clay. and other Demo
cratic members.

tidings to communicate as the fall of Sc
