The Game Of Brag.

This game that somehow has got to be considered
all fair in politics much so, indeed that it is prac
tsed or at least sanctioned by gentlemen who would
shrink from anything of the kind in private life Why
this so we will not stop to examine 1t is enough to
know that it so, and that proving the fact are
occurring every day. Now take our good county of
New Hanover, for instance. Communications appear
in campaign papers of the Opposition party claiming
probable success for the other of the Opposition
candidates for the Legislature. These communications
appear in the Kinston Advocate the Greensboro
Little Ad" OF course the object of these Dragging
communications is to dispirit the Democrats and en-
courage the opposition. That Democrat opposition
list either must be weak vessel indeed who will per
NIT himself to be so deceived. New Hanover is all
right and upright She will elect her democratic Sena-
tor and Commoners, and give oldashioned majority
for Ellis. This no one here doubts for a moment
OF course the opposition is putting forth unusually
strong efforts. They are srainng every nerve and 1t
behooves Democrats to follow their example in that re-
spect at least We will not initiate them in the brag
ging line. We will say candidy to our Democratic
friends that if they would succeed they must lay aside
all little personal piques, all divisions, all hearburnings
and come up like men for Gov. Ellis and their county
tickets in this and every other county.

RSPWe publish to-day our table of Exports for the
quarter ending June 30th 1861 as compared with the
corresponding period of 1859. In the leading article of
Spirits Turpentne there is slight falling off in coast
wise exports than compensated for by increase
in foreign. There is also an increase in Crude Turpen
tine, both foreign and coastwise "a falling off in Rosin
in Timber and Lumber, in Peanuts and in Rice and
Wheat the fact being that the Wheat of the West has
not come forward as soon this season as last Cotton
shows some increase This last is bound to be stead
y increasing item. In TRUTH however, single quarterly
statements hardly afford fair criterion of the probable
aggregate of the year, nasmuch different causes may
tend either to delay hurry forward produce for time
There appears upon the whole to be little real change
between this year and last. Whether the induce
ments offered by the line of Steamships may
tend to increase the shipments of wheat and -four through
this port remains to be SEEN Upon the whole there
cannot be any great quantity of -four for export from this
State. The amount ground in the upcountry does not
much exceed the home demand, North Carolina -four
having taken the place of the large amounts of Northern
flour which were brought to this and other seaboard
towns few years since. We look upon cotton as the
most promising staple for export. Its cultivation is
increasing rapidly in section with encouraging re-
suits to the producer.

between Douglas and Breckenridge will give those States

threatens the very existence of the Union and the per-
of any State throwing away its vote upon Bell and

1t is not unlikely that Douglas will withdraw from
the contest-indeed we think it very probable-but
this will not add much to the vote for Breckenridge

three States being too much embittered against the

FalInrs Of w.lsr in New York.

On Thursday morning last two mains Of
the Croton Aqueduct burst in Fifth Avenue,
New York city. The street was flooded and
torn up and all the central and lower parts
of the city were deprived Of their usual al
loWance Of water. The greatest i%nconveu-
fence resulted from the stOppage, and great
fears were entertained Of destructive confa-
grafton. Factories worked by steam had to
suspend operations; hotels were without ma
tsrials for baths and washing; private flmi.
lies had, for the time, to gather around the
breakfast table with unWashed hands and
faces, and saloons charged more for a glass of
water than for q glass of beer. The few
pumps which still exist as old relics of the
days of wells, were surrounded by eager
crowds with pals, tubs, barrels and tin pans,
who, under the direction of policemen, formed
in line and patiently or impatiently, waited
for "turns' at the pump handle. The steam
presses of newspapers were kept in operation
By water brought from Brooklyn, and proba-
bly, at no former period we're so many prayers
sent up for rain, as during the two days re-
quired to repair damages. The entire police
force was detailed TO keep strict watch on all
portions Of the city, as a preventative meas
ure against fire, and all New York breathed
easier when they again saw the clear stream

Fully Committed.

The Telegraph informs us that President
Buchanan explicitly expressed bis determi.
AstiOn to send no more troops to the forts
near Charleston, and said everything possible
would be done on his part to avoid a collis-
ion" This is committing himself to the
cause Of The -secessionists boldly and fully
It's well understood by him, as it is by all
At Washington, that 1t is designed TO take Fort
Moultrie by force, as soon as secession is de-
clared on the nth inst, and yet the President
wilfully ignores this fact and declares that
be viii do everything in his power to avoid a
collision. Perhaps in his thorough devo-
ton to Southern demands he will direct the
oommandantof that Fort to surrender at the
first demand, "to avoid collision" In his
Message he says that the resignation Of the
Federal Marshalsi Judges, &c, in South Caro-
lima has LEFT him powerless to enforce the
laws; andnow to complete the ~subjugation Of
the General Government be proposes coolly
and deliberately, to allow the last sign Of
Federal power in that rebellious State, to be
seized by the r~evolutionists without raising a
hand to sustain that Constitution, and those

coin for a generous Union speech to "qniet
the troubled waters and save the ship" But
what possible good will that dor South Gar
olina and the secessionists will not wait to
see what Mr.. Lincoln will do, and all procla-
nations by him would be of no avail to
quiet the turbulent waves Of southernSanati
eism. They viii not wait to see what the
principles Of the incoming administration are
to BE- lest it should prove so calm and sensi-
bic as to disarm them Of all pretext for dis
union. They have reached the crisis for
which they have long sought when they can
fulfil their of repeated threat Of disolutiOni
and what they dread most of all, is such a
settlement as viii tend to quiet the present
agitation. Hence, the South Carolina and
Florida representatives refuse 10 serve on the

50 much as immediate revolution and blood
shed.
