Eamlin and the Raleigh Press.

The Fayetteville Obsercer has the following:
MIscHIEvoUs FoLLY.-Has it failed to occur
to the Raleigh Press that such statements as
that In regard to Mr.. Hamlin in it's Saturday
issue are calculated to do more harm in the
South than all the rawlings of all the fanatics
at the North? If the Press's statement were
true, this is not the place to do good by para
ding it. But we must take it for granted that
it is not true, for Mr.. Hanlin was for many
years an Influential Democratic member Of the
Z. S. Senate. We do not think that the Demo.
Gratis of Maine would have sent to the Senate
one Of the race to which, according to the
Press, Mr.. Hamlin belongs; and we know that
Southern gentlemen in that body do not make
associates of persons Of that class If the
Press's statement were true, it's own party is
mere guilty in this matter of a ''high handed
insult than the Republicans; for to the
Democratic party Mr.. Hamlin owes his all, and
with Southern Democratic Senators he was
closely associated, politically and socially, un-
I'll very recently when he left that party to Join
the Republicans. His high position IN the
Democratic party made him important to the
Republicans first as convert and then as a
candidate.

DIEEcT FROM LINCOLN. The following is from

DIRECT FROM LINCOLN. The following is from
paper in the confidence of Mr.. Lincoln
The Ne1os at -Ir. Lincolns Ronae.-We have
report from our Special Correspondent at
Springfield, Illinois, ofthe reception of the news
Of the election and its result by Mr.. Lincoln.
He seems to have received it with quite as much
coolness and complacency as any other citizen
1t probably did not take him by surprise half
as much as the news of his nomination-but
neither seems to have disturbed in the least, or
to have interrupted the usual quiet and even
I nor Of his way. "Old Abe" is not an excita-
bic man, evidently.
Our correspondent says that Mr.. Lincoln is
beset on every side with inquiries as to the pol
icy of his Administration-and that his uniform
reply is: - Hare yO1 read noy speeches9" It is
pretty Clear from this that he has no occasion
Tor making up new set of opinions for the
emergency, and that he intends to make the
principles and opinions set forth in his speech
es the basis OF his administration of the Gov
ernment. Hehas no thought of publ shng any
letter or address on the subject-partly because
ne has nothing new to say, and partly because
he sees nothing in the condition of the country
to call for such step. The public, we do not
doubt, will acquiesce IN tbs propriety of this de-
ciSion.
Specvllations as to the composition of his Cab
met can have no value whatever because, we
presume, Mr.. Lincoln himself has given no
thought to the subject as yet. There are a
great many considerations to enter into such a
question, and there is no danger of its being de-
cided without mature deIiberation. York

SIGNS IN THE HEAVENS.

A singular phenomenon was witnessed by
some of our citizens on Saturday evening last,
Just about sunset. An object about the size OF
a balloon (or pece of chalk,) and very much OF
the appearance of a balloon, was seen moving
with great rapidity in Southwesterly direc-
ton and, Notwithstanding the light of day
was still light and clear, the illumination Of
the object was brilliant and distinct as bal
loon at night We heard, while gazing at this
wonder, that two other similar ones had passed
previously. The one we saw, after moving
southwesterley, at an angle with the path Of
the sun, took a course directly West and
straight from US; fading gradually, and very
rapidly. until lost from sight. 1t was in all
probability parhelion, or mock-sun, which is
the original, and highest species of the genus
"toady," inasmuch as it only follows in the
wake of and tries to look, and act like the god
of day.-Wil. Herald

RUIZ on THE SOUTH CAROLINA BANzs.-A
bill has been reported in the Legislature Of
South Carolina postponing the operation of the
act requiring tho Banks to have oue-third ot
gold and silver in their vaults for two-thirds ot
their issue The bill was unanimously adop-
ted The necessity for prompt action toreiieve
the Banks was strongly urged. Expresses
were daily bringing in bills from surrounding
States, and other demands for specie were con.
stantly made. These are some Of the fruits of
incipient secession.-StGndard.
South Carolina has done right IN this one
thing, and we hope that at the approaching
Legislature something will be done for our own
banks, for unless something is done to prevent
the brokers of Virginia and elsewhere from
speculating on them as ct present they cannot
answer the purpose for which theyShave been
established; nor will the public be benadtted
by their existence

GEN. SCOTT.

One Of the editors of the Springfield lMass
Republican, while in New York city few
days ago, called upon Lieutenant General Scott,
whom he photographs as follows:
"The General was writing as I entered, at
large table spread with papers and military re-
ports, but laying aside his pen, he greeted me
with a smile of welcome, and in such SIMPLE,
unostentatious manner as to annlhllate all 1eel-
1ngs of reserve, and was soon converslng with
him, and listening to his own conversation with
freedom and pleasure. Abiding, among other
things, to the battle of Niagara, commonly
known as Lundy's Lane, he said: have some
reason to remember that battle, for that ball
in nv shoulder crippled me badly. But good
physical system and a sound constitution saved
me- AS you see,' he continued, am unable
to raise my left hand to my head l now no
ticcd for the first time that his lett shoulder
was trife lower than his right; but the ball
is not there as has sometimes been stated. 1t
passed through the joint. and to use the Gen-
erals language for aught know, Killed some
one behind me.
Inouiring as to his health, he remarked he
was conscious of no change, but that his health
had always been, and was now, excellent. In
speaking of West Point Academy, he said
he should not advise any young man to
enter there after 7 years of age, since he would
not obtain an opportunity of raising his rank
until somewhat advanced IN life; yet so long
as we are in need of an army, We need also
West Point.
His office, or business hours, learned, are
from till - a. m, and from till P. m In
his habits he is very regular, taking pedes-
triaa tour on Broadway, or elsewhere, imme-
diately after breakfast returning in time for
the mornings work. In stature, as every one
knows, he surpasses any man in the service,
being 81 feet in height, and weighing 26O
pounds, and yet he has physical system fine
iy organized and closely knit together: To
aid in reading, he uses glasses occasionally, but
ordinarily requires none. His eyes and COM
plexion are exceedingly bright and clear, al
though "A winters have served to thin and
whiten his once auburn hair, yet they have by
no means rendered him wholly bald.
An hour slipped away unconsciously to
me- and bade him good morning, with deep
regret that could not stay no longer, yet pro-
foundly impressed with the belief that he is in
many respects, the representative man Of the
age"

The North Carolina Standard deserves the
especial thanks of the entire people fthe State

that North Carolina is not ready to secede-so

Premises DUEL WITH GHOLSON.-A writer
in the Vicksburg Sun furnishes the follow.
ing incident of the celebrated duel between
Judge Gholson and S. S. Prentiss, of Missis-
sippi:
The facts are these At the first fire, Gholson
leaped exactly three feet one inch and half from
the ground, not with a ball through his heart be-
cause the ball had struck the toe of his right foot
gancing in westwsrdly direction, hitting
Gholson's second in the pit of the stomach caus-
ing him to double up with such violence that an
empty pistol he had in his hand few forward
with such force to hit his principal on the
head, causing him to jump aforesaid because
he was 30 astonished, believing his antago-
nst's ball had hit him on the back of the head !!
GhoIson was cured of corn on his right foot, but
had the toorhache for week. Gholsons second
took the cramp collie.
The ball of his adversary passed close to
the lips of Prentiss to take away his breath,
causing him to fall upon the ground, from which
afterwards he had slight lisp in his
speech.
The parties were recencicd on the ground in
this manner After they had untangled and un
rolled Ghoson's second out of Il hard knot, and
somewhat relieved him, Prentiss, lisping consid-
erably, said -
"Gholson, you owe me A dollar"
"What for p said Gholson.
For curing your corn" said Prentiss.
No" says GhoIson. you owe me dollar"
''What for 2" says Prentiss.
Because said Gholson, "your ball hit my
second in the stomach and caused him to hit me
on the head, which gave tooth ache, and now
I'll have to have the tooth pulled, which will cost
me dollar
"Wel,' says Prentss, 'let's call it square,, ~
they shook hands on the spot.
The GEORGIA FAIRs-GEoRGIA's DAUGATERs
The Atlanta (Ga.) American reporting the
third day of the fair held there, says:
"Not the least attractive feature of the day
was the appearance on the grounds Of party
of twenty seven ladies, teachers aud pupils of
the "Spring Hill School, under the supervi-
sion of that gifted advocate of the develop
ment of sou hern agriculture, and actual indie
pendence in the Union, Rev. c. W. Howard
attired in substantial check homespun dress
made fashionably full and flowing When this
spirit of independence seizes upon the minds of
cism, as manifested by the sterner sex, we may
look for good practical results. The members
of this school brought for exhibition, but not
to contest for premiums, large number of very
beautiful articles, such as tides, embroidered
| slippers, and various articles of Dress and fam
cy bead work for table mats, &c. Some of
these latter were very beautiful, crewel
ground being first wrought on canvas and then
the bed work done on the crewel One tidy,
done with crewel in crotchet, was decidedly
elegant the colors bright and varied, being
blended with truly artistic effect But twenty
seven blooming bright-eyed southern lasses, in
cloth of southern manufacture, Of which the
staple was peculiar to their homes, was indeed
aight worth seeing on southern fair ground.

The SOUTH AND HER CoTToN CRoP.-The New
York World, in in its money article of the 9th
has the following:
The South has curtailed her liabilities this
fall to so great an extent that few months
hence will rapidly place it in a position Of
great financial ease and strength. The cotton
crop will, probably now much exceed 1000,
900 bales, and the knowledge of this fact
stimulate sales in Liverpool and advance prices.
The consumption of cotton in Liverpool is in
creasing in a greater ratio than heretofore, and
many manufacturers in Manchester, England,
have more orders on hand than they can exc
cute for the next two months There is every
reason to believe that the Southern crops of
cotton, sugar, and tobacco will realize more in
cash value than the very large amount OF last
year. This with, the diminished purchases
by Southern buyers from the North. will soon
enable them to get rid of the effects of their
