One of the editors of the Fayetteville Observer
writing from Chapel Hill on Wednesday, says:
I arrived here yesterday afternoon in time to
hear the annual Sermon to the Graduating Glass
which was delivered in the evening by Arch
Bishop Hughes of New York. the highest digni-
tary of the Roman Catholic Church in the Uni
ted States. 1t was plain. practical DISCOURSE
on the duty of loving God and of loving our
neighbors as ourselves: I have no doubt that
there was some disappointment in the large au-
dience which assembled to hear him, for very
elegant and eloquent effort was undoubtedly ex-
pected But the Bishop is not much of an ora
tor at all remarkable for any particular polish
in his style, at least in extenporaneous effort
as this appeared to be. But he made up for any
Deficiencies in these respects by deep earnestness
and strong good sense, and right Judgment of
the advice which it became one of his holy call
ing to give to large body of young men just
about to make their debut on the stage of life.
Gov. Ellis and Mr.. Pool are here. of course
but not to continue their discussion. Mr.. Pool
will deliver the Literary Address this morning
There will be no regular address before the Alum
nj but doubtless there will be speeches in the
meeting of that Association.

AMALGAMATION IN LAKE COUNTY The town
of Madison in Lake county, has been thrown in
to great excitement by the elopement OF white
woman and full blooded negro. which occur
renee took place on Sunday night last The la
dy is about thirty years~old, of more than ordin-
ary intelligence, and of very fair appearance.
Her husband is one of the weathiest farmers in
Lake county. We suppress his name, the af-
fair has nearly driven him mad.
| About year ago he employed full-blooded
negro An Abolitonist of the Gerritt Smith
school, the farmer took the African into his fami
ly on terms of perfect equality. Of late he has
noticed with feelings which we need not attempt
to describe, a growing intimacy between his
wife and the negro. He spoke to her about it,
but she succeeded in quieting his suspicion for a
time. On Sunday night she arose from bed
leaving her husband asleep, and fed with the At
rican. Strangely enough, they did not leave the
county, or the town even, only going some five
miles from the woman's late home. There they
sought shelter at the house of some friends OF
hers, and there they at last accounts The
woman left her young child with its father.
There is talk Of riding the negro rail, and
great excitement prevails The woman assumes
a bold face, and says she has perfect right to
run away with negro if she wants to, no matter
if he be as black as the of spades
! An Abolition sentiment and an Abolition litera-
ture has prevailed in the farmers house for years.
This elopement is the legitimate result-CIere.

their rooms-and it is with great difficulty says the

The Newbern Daily Progress evidently dis
likes, upon personal grounds, the Hon. L: OBJ,
Branch, member of Congress from the fourth
Congressional District of this State. It speaks
of him as this officious Congressman" and re-
CARDS him as rather presumptuous to suppose
that any one g is to be Influenced by his dicta-
ton" Why this attempt upon the part of the
Progress to create prejudice against Mr.. Branch!
Simply because he has written letter to his
constituents on the political questions of the day
Poor Nr. Branch, he cannot even inform his con-
stituents upon a political question nor advise
them as to what is transpiring in Washington
without receiving a castigation at the hanGs Of
the Progress man.
The editor Of the Progress must not state his
views upon any questions which are being agi-
tated, because those who "eIeoate" him, and
those whom he '' serres may regard him as ''ofi
cous and presumptuous.' These are
analagous.-Fo oyetterMe Courier.
We have nothi 1g personal against Str. Branch
never spoke to him lie to us that recollect of,
but we are tired and disgusted with that class of
presumptuous Office holders and Office seekers
who think that the PEOPLE are too ignorant to
come to correct and honest conclusions. The
people of this State can take care of themselves
at Baltimore any where else without dictation
from their congressman.

IT.
Philadeph Ledger has letter from a cores
pondent on board the Z. S. steamer Crusader at
Key West. May 26, from which we take the fol-
lowing extract
We sailed hence on cruise off the island of
Cuba on Sunday, the 18th inst, and at last, on the
23d, after most exciting chase, oyerhauled and
captured French bark, with cargo of upwards
of four hundred negroes on board.
When Lieut.. Duncan, the first officer of this
vessel first boarded her, all the poor wretches
were, snugly slowed under matches, the captain
and crew appeared unconcerned, and pretended
to treat the visit as every day occurrence
Lieut. Duncan, however, was not to be thus de-
ceived, ordered the matches to be opened, which
at once revealed spectacle that needs to be seen
but once to be remembered ever afterwards
The blacks at once wildly rushed upon deck, yell
ing and shouting like savages, and the scene
was, as if it were by magic, transformed from the
quiet of a friends meeting to babel of confusion
and uproar. The triumphant cheers of the board
ing party were returned from the steamer with
goodwill and in old fashioned style. Capt Mafft
Immediately organized a prize crew of twelve
men, in charge of Leuits. Duncan and Benham,
who took formal possession of the vessel, in the
name of Uncle Sam. The officers and crew of
the bark were transferred to our ship. and to the
honor of Capt. Maffit and the service, be it
spoken. were treated with the greatest kindness
and consideration.
Upon coming on board the skipper. very gen
tlemanly little Frenchman was lnterrogated as to
his nationality, answered in a very equivocatng
manner, "I have no flag. said he-"no papers,
but have the negroes-they are now yonrs-l
ran the risk--I have faied.' This is the SUB
stance Of his remarks.
Our engine is in bad condition. having burst
cylinder several weeks ago, and proceedings here
after will necessarily be very uncertain. Officers
and crew are all we'll, in fact the ship has been re-
markably healthy since her arrival on the station.
tits generally believed that day has already been
fixed upon for return to northern port prob
ably Philadelphia, and that that day is not very
distant. Yours in haste. II.

this city on Saturday last, and re
lated to = gentleman of one Of the
upper counties, whom we know to
be entirely reliable, the following.
We take the liberty Of giving the
facts elected publicity because OF
their Importance:
This planter desired to purchase
additional supply Of negroes to pick
his present crop Of cotton, but fear
ed to do so on account of the great
depreciation in their value and the
alarming excitement which per
vaded the South. In order to as.
certain from his own lips Mr.. Lin
coins policy. he visited him at his
residence in Spring6eld.
Mr.. Lincoln informed him that
he was opposed to any interference
with slavery in the States, or with
the Interstate slave trade that he
was opposed to abolishing or inter
fering with slavery in the District
of Columbia; and that he was only
opposed to the extension in the
Territories, but added, that was
sonly an opinion of his He was
was then asked what would he do
in the event that South Carolina

replied that he would let her 90 i'll
Congress did not pass a force BILL
He stated that if no one would
accept office in that State, of course j
they could receive no benefit from
the Government, and the whole:
expense for the distribution ofmailsI
would devolve on her own citizens.l
He concluded by advising thel
Mississippian to purchase as lnanyl
negroes as be needle J; and express{
ed the opinion that, in twelvel
months, slave property would be-
worth more than it ever lad been{
Upon these assurances the genl
tleuoan was, on Saturday, making
his way to Virginia to purchase
more negroes. He says that Linz
coin is a man of profound acquired

will make as good, if not a bettef
