END OF THE WoRLD.-A mass meeting of
Miertes, eleven in all was lately held in New York,
to pass resolutions in reference to the late Comet,
which, they still insist is the sure precursor of the
end of all things Great hopes were entertained
that the Comet would have come in collision with
the globe on the 9th inst but he has sheercd off,
and left his friends, the Merites, entirely in the
lurch. The Milerites have strong hopes that he
will soon return to put an end to the world, but
the astronomers say that it will be two hundred
years before he again appears in our sky. BY that
time there will be an end of the world to the
Millerites, and the present and some half dozen
succeeding generations of mankind.

NORTHERN ELECTIONS.

AT the recent elections in the States of Penn
sylvania, Ohio, Indiana and Iowa, the Administers
ton party has sustained defeat But when we
take into consideration the instability of the polit
cal opinions of the North, and the periodical ebb-
ing and flowing of public sentiment there, we can
not express great deal Of surprise at the result
Indeed, we may say it is result more to have
been expected than otherwise, from the fact that
the elections in those States succeeding each Prcsl
Dental campaign during the last twenty years have
resulted adversely to the new Administration. And
looking at the subject with these facts before us,
we see ample room for the supposition-nay, for a
certain Professionalism 1860 will show such re-
action to have taken place will utterly astonlsh
and confound those who, in their blind zeal and
spite, arc ready to Ieoice at the downfall OF the
Democratic party, even if its fall tears away the
pillars of temple of civil and religious liberty
and perces to the dividing assunder of that Union
which was conceived in wisdom and cost the tears
and blood of patriots.

TIE COAL FIELD RAILRoAD.-The work on
this Road, which, when completed, will develop one
OF the richest mineral regions i'll the State, is being
vigorousl Y prosecuted, and the now some
10 or II miles from Fayetteville. We believe all
parties agree that the next Legislature ought to
do something to aid the early completion of the
Road and that this aid can be extended without
causing further increase Of taxes, will be seen by
the following explanation from the Observer:
"Thc company does not ask the State to take
twO-thlrds Of It's stock, of which to build the
road without cost to Individuals does it ask
the State to take any stock. 1t simply asks that
the State will lend it her bonds, receiving
curity the companys bonds and mortgage Of its
whole property, costing nearly twice the amount
borrowed. Lpom tie State LondS THE COMPANY
WILL PAY THE INTEREST; SO that the State need
lay taxes to meet the interest the princ pal
either, for the company will take Of that also
at the end of 70 OF 81 years which the bonds will
run.
That this will be a safe operation for the State
is manifest from the fact that individuals have al
ready actually laid out three or four hundred thou
sand dollars upon the work.
In every view of the sub ject, do not a
solitary reason why the whole State should not
unite in thus aiding this work, which will benefit
the whole State without taxing any portion Of it"

SALARY OF JuDGEs.-The Wilmington Journal
very properly suggests that the salary of the Judges
Of the Superior Courts be raised to $500 or
$1,000. The Journal says:
AS the salary now is, no lawyer in good prac-
ticc, with family to support, afford to be a
Judge, or to stay judge long. The sacrifice is too
great; the compensation is too Inadequate This
Is not right nor just, is it good economy. We
are as fond Of economy most folks, but not such
economy farns out the charge of our lives our
fortunes characters, to the lowest bidder
The Superior Court j ud yes ought to receive not
less than twenty five hundred dollars-wc would pre-
fer three thousand dollars year. The services of
any gentleman fit for the position worth that
aud the State ought neither to cheat the proper
man out of the proper compensation, nor accept
the improper one on any terms"
We think the salary should be raised by the
next Legislature, at the risk of affordng
some capital for dcmagogucs to use against the
democratic party at succeeding elections.

Letter from Vice President breckenridge.

SPRINGFIELD, Oct. 22.-The Democratic Cen
trail Committee this morning received letter from
Vice-President Breckenridge, urging the re-elec-
ton of Senator Douglas to the L. S. Senate.
Mr. Breckenridge says, in his letter to the Cen
trail Committee, that he cannot endorse the course
of Senator Douglas during the late session of Con-
gress, upon the Kansas questions but that question
being alphabetically settled, and Mr. Douglas being
the leader of the Democracy of Illinois in the pres
ent fight against the Black Republicans he sympa-
thises with him, and desires his success He
trusts that the Democracy of Illinois, which has
never given sectional vote, will not now be found
laggard in duty to the Constitution and the Union.

JUDGE SHEPHERD.-This gentleman arrived in
town on Friday evening last. He is yet only in
the prime of life and seems to be enjoying excel
lent health. His exemplary conduct during sew
cral years of public life, evidences his eminent
qualification for the Judicial ermine-Edc"ton
Express.
Mr. Shepherd was appointed to supply the va
cancy ocessioned by the resignation of Judge Per-
son. When appointed he expressed an unwilling
hess to serve longer than the meeting of the Le-
gisature, but we learn that he has consented to
allow his to go before that body for election
Considering his purity of character and eminent
qualifications to discharge the duties of Judge,
presume that all parties will consent to continue
him in that position.

Beg The Richmond Wing, speaking of the re-
cent elections at the North, uses this significant
language:
We long for the coming OF the grand and de-
clsIVe contest of 1860. Then will the miserable
thing you call Democracy vanish into thin air for
ever. .! for the day and the hour"
Now let US see what this means. Suppose the
recent results in the northern States be taken as
permanent defeat of the Democratic party-that it
Is simply the beginning Of the end which 1860 will
place upon its career. What is the condition of
affairs? 1t is clear that the Black republicans
hold the balance OF power among the allies who
would form the domnation-tLat the platform of
1850 will be constructed of it's materials-that the
Presidential candidate will be of the Fremont
stripe, and the principles of that party will shape
the policy of his Administration. Hence the de-
feat of the Democracy will be triumph of Black
epublicanism-the vanishing into thin air. of
this bulwark of our freedom and Union will be
removing the strong barriers which have hitherto
said to fanaicism $50 far shalt thou come and no
further" The downfall of this {" miserable thing
called Democracy" will be the downfall of the
Constitutional rights Of the South leaving her no
other alternative out disgraccful submission and
AFFECT scrvtude, or dissolution of the Union
And this is the contamination of events for which
the Richmond Wing CO.'S"
TO the credit of the profession be it said, there
are few such papers in the South Gratitude and the
common law OF self preservation should teach such
men the wisdom of laying aside all feeling of spite
and revenge, and fighting for those who fight for

THE FIGHT AT THE TENNESSEE
FAIR

The Nashville (Tenn.) Gazette has the partieu-
lars of the fatal ARRAY which took place at the
Fair grounds in that city, on the day before. 1t
resulted from family teud of long standing The
Gazette says:
Early in the morning Sam Cowan saw James
Owen, in company with his wife, approaching in
tine direction at which he Was located, when they
met, Cowan spit in Ovens face. Owen then
remarked that it was the wrong time to settle the
difficulty, but he would see him at another time,
and Immediately seated his wife, told his brothers
and friends of what had passed, and afterwards
prepared to make attack. At about IL o'clock
the large crowd in attendance were suddenly
startled by the report of pistol the clashing of
sticks and noise and confusion generally How
1t commenced, is able to tell but it occurred
on the outside promenade, of the amphitheatre,
where hundreds OF people were cOngregated. 1t
was discovered that some ten, fifteen or twenty
were engaged i'll the melee, some ofwhom, however,
were endeavorng to suppress it. On one side
Sandy, James and John Owen, W. \. Davis were
noticed, and on the other side Sam and Geo. w
COwan, Joel \. Battle, and his son Pistols were
fired, sticks used freely, and it appeared says
our informant, that men were being knocked down
on all sides. Owing to the crowd and the intense
excitement, it is difficult to tell by whose hands
the victims fell. Sam Cowan had Colt repeater
aud on examination it WAS found that every barrel
had been discharged. Several others had fire arms
but to what extent they were used we cannot say.
BY this horrible affair, Sandy Owen was killed,
Sam Cowan, mortality wounded. John Owen shot
in the side and thigh, the wounds supposed to be
mortal; Joel A. Battles skull badly fractured;
Thomas Battle shot in the wrist; James Owen,
W. A. Davis and others slightly hurt. General
Battle, understand endeavored at first to create
peace, but being used pretty roughly, he commenced
upon his antagonists in dead earnest. He is an
uncle Of the Cowans. Mr. Battle who was shot in
the wrist not party to the affair, but received
his wound accidentally. Mr. Sandy Owen was
shot through the heart and died instantly. Sam
Cowan received his injuries by being beat with
sticks.-EIs skull is badly fractured, and his head
terribly mutilated.
