The Observer and Mr.. McRae.
The Fayetteville Observer, which took ground some
time since for Mr.. McRae, now comes forward to say
it can no longer support him, aud that it has no
candidate for Governor
The Observers main reason for abandoning Mr..
McRae We give in its own language, as follows:
1--WE could have stood Mr.. McRae's impracticable
scheme of aid to the W estern [the Coalfelds] Road,
for We feel assured that he is sincere in it. But we
could not stand his poisoning the public mind 1--WE
use the term in offensive sense) by eloquent ap-
peals against State aid and Misunderstanding of
course full stop to system for nothing can be
housekeeping hope, the Western Rail-
road without State aid"
The Observer does not believe with Mr. McRae,
that the State is ina "chronic Decline" and the
Observer will not support Mr.. McRae for Governor.
We will give the O6serrer's remarks in full in our
next
This at once knocks one of the best spokes from
Mr. McRae's wheel. The Observer Yields decided

mond, Arson, Moore Montgomery, Stanly, Chatham
and Randolph; and this movement of that pape,
will deprive Mr.. McRae of at least one thousand votes
which he would otherwise have received.

How goes the State

We take occasion to say to our friends, from some
of whom have received inquiries on the subject,
that our information as to the campaign from all por
tons of the State is of the most encouraging char
acter.
The Democratic candidate and the opposition or
Know Nothing candidate for Governor have now
canvassed considerable portion Of the State, and
we can, therefore, form reliable idea of the ef
fecs which have been produced, and base upon that
calculation of the result. Judge Ellis has steadily
gained from the time he entered the field, and Mr.
McRae has steadily lost Judge Ellis, in our opin-
ion will defeat Mr.. Ncae by larger majority than
any which has been given since the people have
elected the Governor.
The Democrats, we think, are certain of thirty
Senators and seventy Commoners; which would
give them ten majority in the Senate and twenty
majority in the House, thirty joint ballot {;
and this majority claim Of reliable, unfinchiug
Democrats. The majority on joint ballot may, how
ever, range as high sixty, as in the above calcu
lation we have included no Senatorial Districts or
Counties that are not absolutely certain.

mans side; women have SO little the

fair to say they are less likely to choose

that they are more frequently deceived

their opinions concering men are much
less accurate than mems opinion of their

me for having said this, l should reply
that it was only another mode of saying

Tue MANUFACTURES OF WoRDs.-Tho
following sensible remarks are extracted
from clever paper in Fraser's Maga-
zine; No permission has been SO much
abused in our day as that of Horace for
the manufacture of words. He allows
men to mold one now and then, with a
modest discretion and caution; but he is
addr, ssing poets, not venders of patent
leather or dealers in marine stores.-
Would he not have stood aghast at the
term 'antigropylos . Would it not
puzzle a Scsliser or Bentley? 1t is
time, we protest. to put stop to these
vile coinages when every breeches ma
ker or backing manufacturer invents
compound word of six sylables as ex-
pessive Of his wares. Ladies do not
wear petticoats nowadays, but crino-
lines. What is their name for garters
Men do not ride horseback as aforetime
they take equestrian exercise; women
are not married like their grandmothers-
they are led to the hymenial altar A,
bookseller, forsooth, becomes biblio-

manciple. BARRIERS do not sell toeth-
powders and shaving soap as their ia
thers did, but odonto and dentifrice, ry-
pophagon; hair wash has passed away

one tell US what is the meaning Of

If it has signifcation at ELL, we viii
guaranty to find half dozen Saxon mo-
nosyllables expressive of the same idea.
Medical gentlemen, too, talk Of phlebo-
tony; we know that it has some connec-
ton with blood letting. and for our own
part, we always associate the term with
a night we once spent between the sheets,
all alive. o in an Irish hotel. Who
would believe that 'cpistaxis' means
simply bleeding at the nose? Fancy

A Singular Suicide. .

In the little town Of Dover, which is
situated on the Cumberland river, in
Middle Tennessee, there lived, some
time ago, an eccentric and Incorporate
old bachelor by the name Of Kingston.
On one occasion, when prostrated on
| his bed by excess, and suffering acutely
from those things and horrors peculiar
to his situation, he sent for one of his
boon companions to come and visit him.
Shyrack, for that was the others name
came duly into Kingston's room.
whats the matter, Kingston?"
"Shyrack, shut the door. Lock"
"Eh?"
"Lock the door!"
Certainly, my dear boy" .
"Shyrack, I'm going to kill myself!'
"My dear fellow, let me entreat you
not to do so!'
Il Wilt"
"No, no-oblige me and don't"
"Must do i'll"
"Don't-it II be the death Of you!'
Shyrack was quite cool and jocose.
little dreaming that so5terrible an event
was actually going to take place.
Kingston had, as the last eccentric
act of his life. taken chisel and mallet
to the bed with him, and now, with des-
perate resolve, he seized the extraor-
dinary tools of death, and in an instant
drove the blade Of his chisel into his
breast.
The hair rose upon Shyrack's head.
and fright spread like sheet of snow
over his face. ..-..~
Livingston Kingston my dear fsl-
low-you grand rascal Kingston! do

Shyrack ran to the door and called
like madman to some people across
the street: ...>.r %. r
"Haloo here I! say you, mister all
you stupid people! make haste over
here, or there will murder" . --.-.tG
The people crowded into Kiugston's
house. ea-.sz '

ly. ..
There, that'll do; now my dear fell
low, you may die" replied Shyrack, ta-
king a long breath and wiping the per-
spiration from his forehead.
And Kingston did die. in that extra
ordinary manner, leaving his fate to be
recorded as suicide, that was almost
murder.

TIE COTTAGE AND NAPOLEON.
Amid the lowly, straw-built she'd,
Long will the peasant seek his glory
And when some fifty years have fed,
The thatch will hear no other story.
Around some old and hoary dame
The village crowd will oft exclam--
'.Mother, now, till midnight chimes,
Tell US the tales Of other tunes.
He wrongcd us, say it, If they will,
The people love his memory still
Mother, now the day Is dim,
Mother, tell us now OF him.
"Ny children-in our village here,
l saw him once by kings attended;
That time is passed this many year,
For scarce my maiden days were ended.
On foot he climbed the hill and nigh
To where watched him passing by:
small his hat upon that day,
And he wore a coat Of gray
And when he saw Inc shake with dread,
"Good day to you, my dear 70 he said.
"Oh and mother, is it true!
Mother, did be speak to you :"
"From this year had passed away,
Again in Pari,' streets found him:
To Notrc Dame hc rode that day,
With all his gallant court around him
All eyes admired the show the while,
No face that did not wear q smile
''see how brightly shines the skies !
'Tis for him !" the people cries:
And then his face soft with joy,
For God had blessed him with q boy"
"Mother, oh how glad to see
Days that must so happy be 70
"But, when DER our province ran
The bloody armies OF the stranger,
Alone no seemed, that famous man,
10 fight against thousand dangers.
Gne evening just like this one here,
I heard knock that made ME fear,
Entered, when op'd the door,
lie, and guards, perhaps a score
And seated where sit he said,
"To what u war have been led -

Mother, was he seated THERE Z"
"Dame am hungry - then he cried
set out bread and wine before him,
There, ut the fire his clothes he dried,
And slept while watched his followers o'er hin
When, with start he rose from sleep,
He saw me, in my terror weep,
And he said, "Nag, our France is strong
Soon will avcnge her wrong

The glass in which he drank his wiue."
"And through change of good and i'll,
