LET THE STOMACH HAVE ITS CRAVING. In the
diseases produce by bad food, such as scorbutc
dysentery and diarrh@a, the patients stomach
often Graves for, and digests things, some Of
which certainly would be laid down In no die
tary that ever was invented or the sick, and es
pecially not for such sick. These are fruit pick
els, jams, gingerbread, fat of ham or of bacon,
suit, chease, butter, milk. These cases have
seen not by ones, nor by tens, but by hundreds.
And the patients stomach was right, and the
book was wrong The articles carved for, in
these cases. might have been principally ar
ranged under the two heads Of fat and vegeta-
BILE acids. There is often marked difference
between men and women in this matter of sick
feeding. Woma' s digestion is generally slower.

A minister and Quaker having stopped at a
public house, agreed to sleep In the same bed
The minister knelt down and prayed fervently,

think dare not sleep with thee"

A lady says the first time she was kissed she
felt like big tub of roses swimming in honey,
cologne, nutmeg and crAnberries. She also felt
something running through her nerves on feet
of diamonds, escorted by several little Cupids,
in chariots drawn by angels, shaded by honey
suckles, and the whole spread with melted rain
bows

The Green committee in New Yok have is
sued an address to the supporters of Breckin-
ridge and Lane in that State declaring all ne
gotiations for a fusion at an end. The address
says:
Our object in addressing you at the present
time is officially to announce, with untelgned
regret the final and absolute failure of at
tempt made by us in good faith ounte the op-
ponents of republicanism in this State against
the election of Lincoln. Acting in pursuance
of the urgent personal advice Of the President
of the United States, the members of his cabi-
net and the Breckenridge and Lane National
Executive Committee, and impelled by what
appeared to be the desire of large number of
our constituents, we proposed, if 1t could be
effected honorably, to combine with the Doug
las party and its allies upon single ticket for
Presidential electors and State officers.
Now if the President of the United States
and members of the Cabinet are personally en-
gagged in the canvass why don't they advise a
withdrawal of the Breckenridge ticket in New
York? That would insure the success of the
Douglas-Bel fusion ticket and thus prevent
Lincoln's election by the people?
We learn by gentleman from New York on
Saturday that fusion would be made howev-
er, notwithstanding this address, by which six
electors would be given to the Breckinridge par
ty, and which arrangement would secure the
vote of that faction for the Union ticket,

Not Half SO Bad as Represented

The recent lnsurrectlOnary excitement IN
Texas has been greatly exaggerated and that
too, we doubt not, in many instances for po-
panics seem to have been almost if not entirely
inadginary notwithstanding the efforts made
by certain partzan prints in those States to
make capital out of the plots" Every slave
State is able to protect its own property keep
the negroes under strict discipline, and to hang
all abolitionists who interfere with them; poll
tcians in the North and South may be assured
of this, and the further fact that no quarter
will be given to those who tamper with the
institution. But we beseech the fire eating
journals not to get up any more slave p0n1cs
until after the election is over; we don't think
it will help the sectional ticket.
The n D. Picoyune of the 8th instant says
of the Texas excitement:
''The Investigations which have been prose
cuted in the disturbed districts Of Texas have
not developed, with any degree of distinctness,
the existence of any other plot for ruin than
what few desperate characters, without CON
nection with OF hope of help from any other
quarter, might have formed In some cases
the negro population have been demoraliZed
evidently by the insidious promises of these
white men, and the work Of ruin wrought has
doubtless been mainly their work But not
half Of what has been confessed seems to be
borne out by later facts. The strychnine said
to have been discovered in the hands ofnegroes
turns out to be very harmless having no atfini
ty with the deadly poison which it was sup
posed to be The wells thought to have
been poisoned, late accounts declare to be un-
tainted with any deleterious substance. Tex
as, like all of our frontier States, has been the
point where desperate men have congregated,
and her whole history is full of violence and
outrage inflicted by the foes of society. Arous
ed by the present danger, the citizens have
taken the most effectual means to bring
such offenders to justice, and to break up all
combinations for. their protection"

BISHOP EARLY AND DR.. DEEMS DIsTRIcT.-
At meeting of the District Stewards held at
Wilmington, September 1st. it was resolved not
to recognise the appointment of Mir. Nicholson
as Presiding Elder in the place of DIR. Deems
Whilst they have high regard for the character
of Mr.. n. and would gladly receive him under
other circumstances yet IN the present instance,
they cannot countenance the act of the Bishop,
and to show their disapproval they will absent
themselves from Quarterly Conferences and other
official meetings over which Mr.. n may preside.
They will submit the 70 the annual Confer
ence at Salisbury, with the confident belief that
the Conference will to the extent of its qrisdic-
ton, redress their grievances and restore Dr.
Deems to the position from which he was displa-
ced. If, however, the annual and General Con-
ferences shall endorse the action of Bishop Early
then the Stewards pledge themselves to do all in
their power for the abrogation of the present law
and to urge the enactment of a statute more wor-
thy of Methodism.
The Editor of the N. c. Christian 1d1oUate,
who seems to have pursued very wise and pru
dent course from the beginning, eounses the
Stewards to acquiesce in the present temporary
supply of the District, receive Mr.. Nicholson
kindly, and not embarrass him in his official du-
ties--N c. Presbyterian.
Poor Deems! VIII the vindictiYe war on him
never cease?

ORIGINAL POETRY,
Angel ILLUSTRATIONS.

LAURA EGGLEsTON.
In ancient times, in scriptures holy pages,
- w e read of angel visltants sublime,
Sent by Jehovah, through succeeding ages
10 bless the fallen denlzens OF time:
How God appeared to Moses and to Aaron,
And from Egyptian slavery freed the Jews
And led them onward to the land of Canaan
Flowing with milk and honey and sweet dews
The cloud by day-at night the pillar burning
Thus God did onward guide his chosen saints;
The fnty rock to gushing water turning
Aud mamma fell in dews when they were faint.
We read an angel came unto Nanoah,
Announced the birth OF Sampson brave aud strong
The Hebrews champion in their perilled glory
To free them from Philstia's warning throng.
Unto the in oden times what visions
Angelic visitants displayed from God
And many glorious shapes and forms eysian
Erst came and stood upon the earth's green sod
Angelic delegations bright and holy
Foretold the birth of the Messiah blest
The starry midnight list their songs of glory
AS on the plains the shepherds sweet did rest.
But angel visitants have discontinued ever;
Long ages now have passed wit out their cheer:
Is heaven more distant, and our earth to never
Again behold angel ministrations here?
Oceans of tears have fell from human faces,
And millions sunk in woes deep grave
And death Implying stood in thousand places
Since an angel down to bless and save
O l have stood in evenings haowed shadows,
And tears have fallen from my eyes in Showers
In hope to angel thread the heavenly meadow
To bless my broken heart with peace sweet flow'rs
In vain the stars looked cold and distant flashing
As lamps in Gods blue galaxy above;
The night winds sung-the waters softly dashing.
And peace and faith upheld my soul i'll love.
And noac think that angel ministrations
Still bless us in all times and places here:
In lowlv life, or midde-hghest stations,
Angels ever with us in our sphere.
Devoid of wings these angels walk as humon-
We know them by the beauty of their life
Some in the garb of childhood, man and woman,
Sire, mother, sister, brother, husband, wife.
O. Saviour, give us grace and moral beauty,
To aid and bless friends and foes;
spirit more inclined to prayer and duty,
And 10 inhale tn aroma of Sharon's Rose
German. n Y July 90, 1860.

WORDS OF JACKsoN.-The following is an ex-
tract from the farewell address ofAndrew Jackson;
words ftly spoken, and worthy of the consdera-
| ton of every citizen at the present time:
The citizens off every State should studiously
avoid everything calculated to wound the sensi-
bty offend the just pride of the people of other
| States and they should frown upon any proceed
ings within their own borders likely to disturb
the tranquility of their political brethren in other
portions of the Union In a country extensive
as the United States, and with pun suits so varied
the internal regulations of the several States must
frequently differ from another in important
particulars and this difference is unavodably in
creased by tie varying principles upon which
the American Colonies were originally planted
principles which ad taken deep root in their So
cial relations before the Revolution and therefore
of necessity, influencing their policy since they
became free and independent States.
But each State has the unquestionable right
to regulate its own internal concerns according
to its pleasure; and while it does not inter
tere with the rights of the people of other States
or the rights of the Union, every State must be
the sole judge of the measures proper to secure
the safety of its citizens and promote their hap
piness and all efforts on the part of the people
OF other States to cast odium upon their institu-
tons, and all measures calculated to disturb their
rights of property, to put in jeopardy their
peace and internal tranquility are in direct op-
position to the spirit in which the Union was
formed and must endanger its safety. Motives
or philanthropy may be assigned for this unwar-
rantable interterence and such men may persuade
themselves for moment that they are laborinG
in the of humanity, and asserting the rights
OF the human race; but every one, upon sober
Election, will see that nothing but mischief can
come from their improper assaults upon the feel
ings and rights of others. Rest assured, that the
men found busy in this work of discord are not
worthy of your confidence, and deserve your
strongest reprobation.'

FROM OUR CORRESPONDENTS.
To the National DemOcra of the 2nd Con-

HIGHLANDS, ONSLOW Co, n. G.
September Is, 1860. :
Acting in the character of the national Demo-
cratic candidate for Elector in this district, is
sued through the columns of the Newbern Pro-
gress, some weeks ago. call for Convention of
the party, and recommended the town of New
bern, and the first Thursday in October, relative
ly, as the place and time for the assembling of
that body. The Executive Committee of the
State, having invested the Electors of the sever
al districts with discretionary powers, in this
matter, and advising them to adopt such meas
ures in the absence of similar Committee for
each district, would in their respective Judge
ments ensure the consolidation of the strength of
the party upon the nominees, / deemed 1T expe
dient to convoke the national Democrats in Con-
ventlon for the purpose of appointing associate
Electors in the various counties, and dlspatchlng
any other business that might be brought up for
consideration.
In view, however, of the shortness of time be-
tween this writing and the day of election,
well as of the sessions of the Superior Courts for
this Judicial Circuit, which will by necessity,
prevent many of our friends from attending at
Newbern, l have thought it to be the wisest plan
now to recall the notice adverted to, and suggest
instead, to the friends of ticket throughout
the district, that meetings be held at in the
different counties, and that these meetings choose
sub-electors, who shall be requested to enter the
campaign without delay, and battle earnestly,
vigorously, and manfully for a cause in which
every patriot, without regard to age station has
a common interest.
We ought to have Executive Committe for
this District we'll as one for every other District
in addition to that of the State, to re-organize
more thoroughly after the recent sitting, and
therefore counsel the selection of five reliable and
faithful Democrats who shall constitutue this
Committee: it being understood that the persons
receiving endorsement from the greatest num-
Der of meetings shall be considered the ones
chosen.
Hoping and believing, from present indica
tions, that glorious triumph awaits us,
l am very respectfully,
your fellow citizen.

A '.Thrillins Scene''-Pryor Trumped.


Hon. Roger A. Pryor delivered an address to a
crowded audience at the African church, Rich
mond, on Saturday night An episode of the
meeting is thus described by a correspondent of
the Petersburg Express:
During the delivery of his denunciation of
Judge Douglas course, considerable sensation was
created by voice from the crowd, crying out,
Have you not endorsed Judge Douglas since
that time7'' Mr.. Pryor said, ''no, sir" The
voice. You have sir. and can prove it on you
Mr. Pryor" Come to the stand" (Great confu-
sion.( young man, apparently about nineteen
years, of slender build rushed through the crowd,
and leaped upon the stand, taking position by the
side of Mr. Pryor The most unprecedented con-
fusion followed, several voices crying out aloud,
''Put him OUT push him off the STAGE" etc,
etc, while others said, shear him. 'give him a
chance" &c. Finally, the President, ]. A. Bel
vin Esq, arose. and after quiet restored, said,
that it was in violation of the rules and out of
der, for any gentleman to speak unless invited
by the officers of the Association. A voice
.Why didn't you think of that when o. Jennings
Wise interrupted Gen. Foote few nights ago, in
this very house ~
Mr.. Pryor, here interrupted, and said, that it
was his fault he had invited the gentleman to
the stand, not knowing the rules of the Associa-
ton.
The young man who interrupted him then left
the stand and resumed his seat His name is
Joseph Fink. He is said to be very intelligent
and was once an employee of Mr.. Pryor at the
time that gentleman conducted the South news

PHILADELPHIA, Sept 15.-Concert Hall was
comfortably filled this evening by the Douglas
democracy. Hon. R. Kneass presided. Gov
ernor johnson was very enthusiastically re-
ceived. After expressing his thanks for his
warm reception, he entered into line of argu-
ment similar to that which characterized his
speech at the Douglas barbecue in New York
The speaker was very hoarse and the delivery
of his speech caused him considerable effort.
Numerous ward delegations were present, with
music, transparencies, &c An anonymous ad-
vertisement appeared in morning paper invl-
ting all democrats to attend this meeting, IN
order to prevent the endorsement of what Is
called the bogus Forney mongrel electoral
ticket y but no disturbance took place.
