Surveyor of Guiford has been arrested and held to
bail for circulating Helpers book. 1t is understood
that he has circulated at least fifty sixty copies
of the book in the County. No doubt Wheeler
could disclose some important facts in relation to
incendiary movements in that part of the State.
We learn that his Honor Judge Dick has issued
writs for several persons in Randolph, charged with
circulating Helpers book. The Judge has taken

"WoLFGANG." We have read with profound
sensihility and with profound satisfaction mingled
with profound senSblity, the first and second chap
tiers of " Vo!tgang, or tile Wreche1s Beacon," pub
lished in nearly all the newspapers The only re-
grct which daShcs satisfaction with this story is
the dangerous situation of Maurice Lester at the
close of the second chapter The man was in the
water, in danger of being drowned and the rats
the cold and clammy rats-were on his shoulders!
Any one, however, who will send 81 to one Robert
Bonner, New York City, will receive in return there
for the New York Ledger, which will no doubt give
full Information to the manner in which Lester
devoured by rats, or permitted to escape, badly
bitten, from his moist situation.
We think that those of our brethren of the press
who have published these two chapters, owe it to
their readers Ito say nothing of the cause of human
ity) to publish the whole story, so that the final
destiny of Maurice Lester may be as fully known as
his condition was when thus seriously assailed by
| rats.

WASHINGTON, Jan. s.-The Republicans to-day are
much alarmed fearing the concentration of all other
parties on Mr.. Hamilton, of Texas, for Speaker to
morrow. The Republicans having heretofore tested
their full strength on Mr.. Sherman, have given up
all hope of the adoption of the plurality rule, and
actively canvassing to-day for the selection Of
some anti-Helper candidate, with the view of draw
ing to them enough to elect Speaker. On the other
side, the Democrats more sanguine than ever of
their ability to elect Mr.. Hamilton or some other
conservative early this week.

Let us be United.

The year 1860 will be the most trying year ever
known in this country to parties, to States and to
the Union.
We believe that the only hope for the Union IS to
be found in the National Democratic party, as an
organization, sustained and strengthened by con-
scrvative men in all parts of the country. And we
believe that the best hope for North Carolina is to
be found in the Democratic party of the State which
is portion of the national organization referred
to.
This then, is no time for new party issues or
tests in federal or in State affairs This is time
for disputes about slavery in the Territories, for
what do we care for Territories and embryo States
when sovereign States are themselves in peril? Let
us hold inAexibly to our principles and opinions on
all questions; but let us remember at the same
time that the great question is, how to save the
Union according to the Constitution, and, failing in
that, how to save the South.
Let US cultivate union and harmony among our
selves. The outside pressure upon us should at
least unite the Democratic party as one man; and
let hope in addition to this, that every citizen
without regard to party will exert himself in devils
ing means and in carrying out means to relieve the
State from her dependence on Northern importa-
tons and Northern fabrics and to place her in an
armor and attitude of defence. The surest way to
prevent danger is to prepare for it. Let present
united front to our assaants. We have talked
to them long enough; let now show them that
in certain event we will be ready to act. And
# by union among ourselves and due preparation,
we convince them that we mill act the probability
is that the event referred to will never occur.
