DEMAND FOR BREADSTUFFS IN EUROPE The
advices from Europe lead to the belief that there
will be large demand for breadstufs during the
coming year The season has been so wet and
cold in England that deficiency of at least four
million quarters is already estimated as certain,
while the supply in the markets of the United
Kingdom of Great Britain is less by about one
million six hundred thousand quarters than last
year at the same date. Private letters from the
highest banking authorities confirm the statements
of the public press, and predicts large demand
for American produce. Nor is this impending
scarcity confined to Great Britain. The Cont
nent is not likely to have any surplus Al ac-
counts agree that throughout Central Europe crops
have suffered much from the severity of the weather

DoINGs OF THE REV DANIEL WoRTH.-We
learn from gentleman just returned from flying
visit to the Warm Springs, Bath county, that a
negro man was arrested near that resort few days
ago, calling himself Young Alexander, and carry
ing five shooter, bowie knife and scythe blade.
Upon being held in limbo, he confessed that he
belonged to Mr. VIM Harris, of Oakland, North
Carolina from whom he had run away, and that
he came to Bath county with a preacher namcd
Daniel Worth. lie left him in the lower part Of
Bath county, short time ago, and was to have
met him again at Milburn depot, the Central
Railroad, where the Rev" Mr. Worth WIS to have
sold him for $1,000, then steal him again, and d.
vide the spoils. AS Of recognition the
Rev. rascal was to have a red ribbon fastened to
the bride of his horse, should all be right when
they met at the rendezvous, the preacher deeming
it prudent to be disguised, having been indicted in
North Carolina for circulating Helpers Impending
Crisis, and placed under bonds of SO 900 for his
appearance, which he thought proper to ignore for
the time and clear out to ''save his bacon"-there
being no penitentiaries in North Carolina, and not
bit Of affection for abolition pirates. The negro
did not, however, meet him, preferrug to prowl
about old Virginny and make a living where there
was plenty to live upon, to streakng it out for the
North with fair prospect of starving. The per-
son who arrested him is named p. H. Nlendingo, a
poor industrious man, and deserves reward His
address is at the Warm Springs, Bath County,
Virginia. Petersburg Express.

Essy~ Last week we published paragraph from
the Charleston Mercury, stating that the Opposi-
Bell and Everett and had resolved to 90 for Brock
inridge and Lane. Since then we have learned
that the opposition Convention mentioned was
composed of delegates from only seven counties.
TO that extent they have repudiated Bell and
Everett. We suppose the main portion of the
party i'll Alabama support the ticket.
1t is also denied that Mr. Crittendcn has declar-
ed for Breckenridge.
We make these corrections because we do not
desire to produce any wrong impression; and when
ever any incorrect statement appears in col
umns We shall always be found ready to rectfy it.

Hg- The Fayetteville Observer thinks that we
cannot get clear Of the ''horse-leech" story. We
care very little about it, it certainly cannot in
lure Gov Ellis in the estimation of the people of
the West, but we thought it right to correct
the misrepresentation and misrepresentation ofGov.
Ellis remarks; and were surprised that our
friends of the Observer should use as fimsy an
argument to njuGe tie democratic candidate for
Governor. No one objects to opposition papers
using any fair argument against Gov Ellis, but
the "horse-lecch" story is too silly to be continued
after the full and fair explanation made by Gov
Ellis in his card.

JUST AS WE OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES the opening of
the canvass for Governor, Mr. Pool has been repre-
scented as using offensive epithets different occa-
sons such as "liar," 'scoundrel," &c, and at one
or two places he is reported using personal and
insulting language towards Gov. Ellis. We ex-
pected to hear of Gov. Ellis resenting such Ian
guage if Mr. Pool continued it, and it appears that
at Hcndersonyille he did resent it. Of course the
opposition press trying to make it appear that
Gov. Ellis in the wrong; and card is pub
lished in the Raleigh Register, signed by Mr. Pools
friends, giving a one-sded statement of the diff
Guilty. Even that card represents Mr. Pool as say
ing that Gov. Ellis was "no gentleman" where
upon Gov. Ellis made at him, but was prevented
by those standing near from striking. Every man
who knows Gov. Ellis, knows that he is one of the
most even and best tempered in the State, not
easily excited, but ready to resent direct
insult; and the opposition will have to offer
better evidence than they have to prove that he
acted too hastily Jr i'll the wrong at Hender-
sOnyille.

Col. W. L. STEELE-We find in the Fayette-
vile Carolinian an excellent letter from Col W.
L. Steele, of Richmond county, declining the
nomination for the Senate in Richmond and Robe
son. Dir Steele, it will be remembered was a
delegate to Baltimore, and hesitated some time be-
fore he withdrew, but finally became satisfied that
the Douglas Convention was no place for South
ern man like him, and therefore he retired from it
and Joined his southern brethren in the National
Democratic Convention which nominated Breckin-
ridge and Lane, Mr. Steele, in his letter, says:
81 have full confidence that We shall triumph in
the approaching elections. Unlike opponents,
in this section of the Union, we have boldly de-
cldred our vieaos and met the issues like men, on
all questions of public concern. We have dared
to stand for the right" in the face of the cant Of
demagogues and the rawlings of fanaticsm. They
have concealed their opinions and avoided the issue
under terms OF vague generality, which can be,
and are. construed to mean whatsoever the neces-
sites of the party the men, in different sections
OF the country, may require The people will not
hesltate-tor they cannot, wisely, trust set OF
men who have not the manliness to avow the prn-
ciples upon which they propose to administer the
government. Men of ordinary intelligence well
know that something more than mere "Constitu-
ton, Union and enforcement of laws, existing, is
essential to the preservation of the public interest
and they demand to know what measures of policy
political parties propose to enact. A simple de-
claration to observe the Constitution means nothing
distinctive in the way of practical legislation, Gust
belief in the Bible does not determine any
mans religious creed,) and hundreds of laws can
be passed, unequal, unjust and oppressive, which
no court could decide to be unconstitutional
| will trespass longer for the present upon
your time, hoping to have the opportunity here
after of discussing before the people the various
positions of parties claiming the public confidence
If so, | shall endeavor to show that the organiza-
ton which nominated John C. Breckenridge and
Joseph Lane, is the one best entitled to the sup
port of the South not only because of the truth of
the principles which it holds, but because it alone
has had the courage and manliness to oeow them
before the country"
It will not be hard matter for Mr. Steele to
show that the organization which nominated John
c. Breckenridge &c is the one best entitled to the
support of the South" We expect to show that
it is the only one which any southern man ought
to support.
