R. MCDowELI.-A Fayetteville correspondent, IN
der date of June 27h 1859, calls attention to the
fact that the Democratic Press says, in its issue of the
18th instant, that T. D. Mcdowell ESQ.,, was nomi-
mated by opposition meeting in Columbus county to
oppose Hon. Warren WnsoW. Wilmington Journal
The Democratic Press of the 29th ut, said no such
thing Since however, seeing the above we have over
hauled that paper and find that among some miscelane
selections the outside of our paper, which were
transferred from the columns of the n. q. Christian
Advocate (which paper we pubish the article referred
to does appear taken from the news columns of the
AdUocate.
We thank the Journal for calling attention to it, for
we have no disposition to do Mr. Mcdowell an injury
or any else The Journal has done great favor
by speaking out about this matter, aordng us the OPP
portuny of setting ourself right. That is the way
Democrats should do if all would follow this example
greater degree of harmony would characterize the lea
ders of Democracy AS good turn deserves another
and as we dsclam the intention to injure Mr.. Mellow
ell we trust the Journal will have the kindness to copy
this, which, hope will set right in that quarter of
tho State.-Dem Press.

New York practically excludes them

woman, writes:
When 7 think of Mr.. Douglas strug-
giles, labors, anxicties, for the last few
months, in order to secure his ~re-elec-
ton, l conclude that he must have at
least a weary life of it. So much was
staked-his fortune, his fame, his hope
OF the Presidency. The time had
come when he must rise or set, bright
en- or go out in the political world.
He sold his house at Washington,
mortgaged his large property in Hi

wife electioneered quite as successful.

SHIPPED devoutly in the Catholic church
at Chicago, while during the week
she gracefully propitiated the Protes-
tants. At the Lake View House she
exerted marked personal influence
over the gentlemen congregated there,
who, as usual. were quite willing to
be led by a young, beautiful and bril-
liant woman. Educated at Washing
ton, long a "copyist" for the House
Of Representatives, she is thoroughly
initiated into chicanery of political
life, and knows how to touch with a
sure and delicate hand its most intri-
cate wires. That Mrs. Douglas will
do her part towards making herself
LADY of the White House," no n
who knows her doubts. Give her all
wifely honor. She has rescued Mr..
Douglas from at least some of his low
associations. He becomes drunk less
often. and in social life is now admit
ted into society from which he was
once excluded. But if only through
the lowest sycopbancy, the meanest
subterfuge, through the pools Of craft
and falsehood, one is to wade to great
ness. let us all pray to he little.

The Phoenix.

The Phonx, the bird so famous in
antiquity, is by the moderns consider.
cd fabulous. The ancients speak of
this bird as unique, and their artists
represent it as the size Of an eagle,
its head finely crested with a beauti-
full plumage, it's neck covered with
feathers Of a golden color, and the
rest is purple, with the exception Of
the tail, which is white, and eyes ex-
tremely sparkling, like stars. The
tradition is that it lives in the wilder
ness, and attains the age of six hun
dred years, and when thus advanced
in age, builds itself a pile of sweet
wood and aromatic gums, and firing
it by the waiting of its wings, thus
destroys itself. From its ashes aris-
cs a worm, which in time grows up to
be u Phoenix. In the sixth book of
the annals Of Tacitus, it is stated that
in the year 1877 of Rome, a Phoenix
revisited Egypt, which created much
speculation among the learned. The
accounts Of its longevity vary from
five hundred to one thousand five hun.
drcd years. 1t was considered as
sacred to the sun.
Tradition has assigned the several
eras at which the Phoenix appeared.
The first, i informs us, was in the
reign of Sesostris ; the second, in that
of Rameses, and the third at that Pc
Rod when Ptolemy (the third of the
Macedonian race) was seated on the
throne Of Egypt. When to these cir
cumstances are added the brilliant
appearance Of the Phoenix, and the
tale that it makes frequent excursions
with a load on its back, and that
when, having made fight through a
long tract of air, gaining sufficient
confidence in its own vigor. it flies
with the body Of its progeuitor to the
altar of the sun, that it may there be
consumed, some key may be afforded
to the frequent use made by artists Ct
this curious subject.
