We clip the following from the Wilmington Dali
ly Journal and assure friends of that paper that
the result in the "2nd District" in November will
verify the appearances which the junior editor
witnessed on his short tour,-Roagh Notes.
"The associate editor of the Journal visited Tar.
bero', on Monday of this week. The fall term of
the Superior Court for Edgecombe county was in
session, his Honor Judge Heath on the bench
There appeared to be no case Of public importance
before the Court. At one o'clock on Tuesday his
honor granted recess, to give tie people an oppor-
tunity of hearing VIM. B. Rodman, ESQ.,, the Dem
ocratic eector for the End district. Mr. Rodman
spoke for about two hours to large and attentive
audience, and his bold and conclusive arguments
were such us to make lasting impression upon the
minds of his hearers. Mr.. Rodman is doing voc.
mans service in the support of Breckenridge and
Lane and the National Democracy.
Some private business induced US, the associate
aforesaid, TO extend our trip to Washington, Beau
fort county, returning home by way of Newbern.-
The cotton crop has evidently suffered some from
the unavorable weather at the beginning Of the

enough of them to count They are few and far be-

On Saturday evening we had the pleasure O..
meeting Col. Walter L. Steele our friend and CO.
delegate from this district to the Charleston and
Baltimore Convention. Col. Steele is strong in the

Lane. By the way, he thinks that even in the case
Of any amount of fusion in New York, the chances
are strong-too stronghold Abe Lincoln will car
ry that State. He thinks better of Pennsylvania.
The regular Democratic Electoral ticket in that
State has very fine showing. The split socaled
straghtout Douglas ticket will redeive little coun-
tenance, save from Forney, and few Others who
have already gone too far over towards the feesoi-

A DRowsY CONDUCTOR IN CHURcH.-A good
story is related of conductor on a railroad, who
was strict church-going man. and was always found
promptly in his church on the Sabbath. One Sat-
urday evening his train was in very late and he did
nor take his customary amount of sleep, which.
however, did not prevent his attending divine SER
vice as usual. During the sermon he unwittingy
fell into troubled sleep, soothed by the monoto-
nous voice of the clergyman. All at once he sprang
from his seat, thrust his hat under his arm, and
giving his neighbor in front push, shouted "Tick-
ct, sir" The startled neighbor also sprang to his
feet, which thoroughly aroused the conductor, who
looking wildly around, and seeing all eyes turned
toward him, instantly comprehended his position,

"Thy kingdom come" The blood of martyrs

BRECKENRIDGE GIVES IT uP.-Mr. Breckinrdgc in
his speech at Lexington, on the 9Th, gives it up
that he will be defeated for the Presidency. He
says
"But am content with the honors which have
been heaped upon me by my State and my country
and look forward with pleasure to the prospect
have of serving my country in the Senate of the
United States for the next six years. "-New Haoen

We know of no difference, morally, between
direct falsehood, and deliberate and wilful mis-
quotation for the purpose of accomplishing the
same result Mr. Breckinrdges language was as
follows -
81 constantly said, that II did not desire to be
presented to the American people, but was content
and more than content, with the honors which have
been heaped upon me by my State and country
And looked forward with pleasure to the prospect
of serving Kentucky in the Senate of the United
States for the next six years."
Compare this with the pretended quotation given
by the Neaos, and you will see what kind of argu-
ments have to be resorted to by the opponents of
Breckenridge, in order to make out a case against
him.

CURE FOR IN-GRowING NAns.-It is stated BY
correspondent that cauterzaton by hot tallow is an
immediate cure for ingrowing nails. He says:
1.-THE patient on whom first tried this was young
lady who had been unable to put on a shoe for sew
eral months, and decidedly the worst case I have
ever seen. The disease had been of long standing.
The edge of the nail was deeply undermined; the
granulations formed high ridge, partly covered
with skin, and pus constantly oozed from the root
of the nail; the whole toe was swollen and ex-
tremely tender and painful! My mode of proceed
ing was this: put very small piece of tallow in
spoon and heated it, and dropped two or three
drops between the nail and granulatons The effect
was almost magical. Pain and tenderness were at
once relieved, and in few days the granuations
were all gone, the diseased parts dry and destitute
of feeling, and the edge of the nail exposed so as to
admit of being pared without any inconvenience.
The cure was complete, and the trouble never re-
turned l have tried this plan repeatedly since,
with the .:ost satisfactory results. The operation
but little if any pain if the tallow is properly
heated. repetition might in some cases be neces-
sary, although have never met with case that
did not yield to one application. Admitting the
theory of Dr. Loinrer to be correct the modus ope-
randi is very plainly to be seen. The liquid caute-
ry insinuates itself in every interstice under the
nail, accomplishing in minute, without pain. all
