sons coming from d tant parts Of the State and would
say to all such that provided perfect satisfaction is
given, he will not only not charge for work. but will
pay them for their time and trouble in calling.
Those arrangements have been made in view of the
fact that the country is focked with unskful opera

and everything that constitutes good picture. but
owing to the improper use of the chemicals employed
they are rendered perishabe and worthless

from Archibald T. Banks Esq, the Junior Editor
of the Fayetteville North CNrolinian. We were

n9y- The last number of that sound and reliable
Democratic journal, the Western Sentinel, says:
ave notice that the Democratic presses Of the State
generally are severe in their castigations Of the
Raleigh Press for its unreasonable and unustifiable
attack upon Gov Ellis, in regard to Executive pat
tronage. We have adopted the sag nothing policy
in Democratic warfare; but when an attack so un-
provoked and unreasonable is made upon Demo
cratic Governor, ard that too by paper protesting
to be soundly Democratic, we cannot withhold our
testimony of disapproval Of its course"

The VICE PRESIDENT AND SENATOR DouGLAs.-A
Kentucky correspondent of the New Orleans Delta
says that ION the territorial question Mr. Breckin
ridge has always been and now is, opposed to the
views expressed by Mr.. Douglas and his sentiments
are such as can safely be endorsed by every true
friend of the Union"
No doubt Mr.. Breckenridge stands fairly and
squarely on the Cincinnati platform. We regret
that Senator Douglas does not occupy the same po-
eighty in the Cincinnati platform. Popular SOW
e-egnty is a very different thing from Territorial
sovereignty.

qucnting it and using the water.
Professor E. Emmons, the scientific and able State
Geologist upon his return, few days ago. from his
Western exploration of the State, has visited the
Spring IN person and made a careful and scientific
examination and analysis of the water; and we are
permitted to publish the following copy of his COM
muncation upon the subject:
"RALEIGn, September 16 1859.
To the Hon. Chas. Manly
SIR: The water OF your Spring contains from %
to 80 grains of solid matter to the gallon of water.
1t consists of Iron, Lime, Nagnesia and Organ,c
Halter This Organic matter acts as an acid, and is
in combination with the iron, lime and magnesia
There is also phosphoric acid in minute quantities
in combination with the iron.
The compound formed by these elements is very
soluble though. on exposure to the air the organic
matter, from some chemical change ceases to be So
and large proportion Of it is thrown down !; and,
hence the water, on standing over night in tumb-
Ter, becomes yellow. But this peculiar combination
of organic matter with iron, &C., is readily absorbed
into the system when drank, and hence its efficacy
in of general debility and scrofula, and similar
diseases. .......-
This water resembles, or indeed l might say, is
identical with that of the Kttrell Spring, of Gran
vile county, I am truly yours,
E. EMMONS, State Geological"
This Spring. less than two miles from the city, is
situated in dense forest of nativ, growth, on
beautiful site for buildings and improvements.
A good road, part of the way through the woods,
leads to it.
We congratulate the owner and the public on the
discovery Of this valuable mineral water near the
metropolis. s.-Register. ...,. .r-.-. ...- p

Verify, this Democratic party, with its dssensions
are about to bring things to pretty pass. stump
discussion by the candidates for the "great office
of chief magistrate of the greatest nation in the
world-a rumble tumble in an arena stretching from
Maine to California from the Atlantic to the Pacific
Ocean!! This is truly grand idea, a very grand
idea indeed. How dwarfed and insignificant will all
other convasses appear.-Register.
The Register would produce the impression that
it is the intention of the Democracy to have a
"stump" canvass for the Presidency. We beg that
paper to be easy as there is no prospect that its
delicate and anti-peoplish sensbilites will be thus
shocked. The Democrats approve of stumpng for
the Legislature for Congress- and for Governor but
not for the Presidency. Jefferson, Madison, Monroe
and Jackson would have made Indifferent stumpers !;
and they were all elected without resorting to the
rumble tumble" so classically referred to by the
Register. No, the Democrats will leave the stump
to their opponents. Mr. Clay tried it in 1874, and
it was all right in Mr.. Clay. The Register cheered
him, and lauded him, and almost deified him, and
declared it was all right He kissed the ladies, pat
ted the darling little children the head, and en-
tranced almost every one with his winning manners.
But the stump failed to elect the Wig candidate
