oWatchman, What of the Night 20


Will any sentinel on the watchtower respond
"alrs ueN?" We fear not so far as the Republic
is concerned for the present indications are in favor
of the election of sectional candidate to the Presi
dency What will follow that result no one can
predict In view of the probability of such result
it becomes us all to be firm and calm-to give no
rein to passion or impulse, but to act with dscre-
ton and delberation for ourselves and posterty
1t may be that New York will save the country from
impending troubles; but we repeat after the recent
results in Pennsylvania, Ohio, and Indiana, we can
entertain no very confident hope of an suspicious
termination of the Presidential struggle.
But so far as North Carolina is concerned full and
free conversations with friends in attend
ance at the State Fair enable us to announce that
the chances are decidedly in favor of Breckenridge
and Lane We learn that the Constitutional Dem
ocracy in all portions of the State thoroughly
aroused and will poll their full strength for Breck-
inridge and Lane The Douglas feeling, we are as.
sured, is abating. We believe his strength, which
is confined to certain localities, will constantly d.
minsh up to the day Of the election; and that, in
all probability, his vote will not exceed 5000 in the
State
With proper efforts the State can be carried for
Breckinridge and Lane Such efforts are now being
made and We trust that no Democrat who really
desires to carry the State against Bell will for mo
ment cease to exert himself in the good cause

The Premium List.

We thought at one time that We would be able to
publish the Premium List of the late State Fair in
FULL but we have found it impossible to obtain the
list in time for this issue without holding paper
back until Saturday evening. The awards of the
various Committees were not read out until Friday,
on which day we 60 to press; and though we had
been politely favored by the Secretary with the
awards as they were made, yet not more than one
half of the Committees had reported the result of
their labors up to Thursday evening" thus rendering
it impossible to publish the list early We de-
sired. We will publish it in our next in full. The
expectation that considerable portion Of our space
would be occupied with the Premium List, together
with the engagements and fatigue incident to the
Fair must be our apology for the lack of original
matter in this issue.

raj Society were held every night in the Commons
Hall, the President, DR.. W. R. Holt in the chair.
On Wednesday night the following officers of the

dent, DR.. W. R. Holt, of Davidson; Vice Presidents
Dr. Il. A. Crudup, Of Franklin, S. F. Patterson, of
Caldwell, R. R. Bridgers, of Edgecombc, and W. B.
Wadsworth, Of Craven. J. F. Hutchins was re-
elected Treasurer and p F. Pescud was elected Sec
retary of the Society in place of j. H. Bryan, Jr.,
Mr.. Bryan having left the State.
The following gentlemen were appointed delegates
to represent the State Society at Fairs mentioned viz
Delegates to Richmond, Va, Fair, D. NJ. Barrin-
ger, W. R. Cox, Kenneth Rayner, DIR. W. j. Haw-

Delegates to Charlotte Fair, Maj. S. W. Cole D.
NJ Barringer, A. C. Hege, and S. H. Rogers.
On Thursday night, as the result of a suggestion
made by Mr.. Rayner in relation to the great value Of
Dr. Emmons' works on Agriculture, quite an interest
ing conversational debate took place the mineral
resources of the State, in which Mr. B. F. Moore, Mr.
Rayner, Dr. Hines, Edmund Rufin, ESQ.,, Of Va,
Judge RuHin, Mr.. Barringer, and others participa-
ted. The subject of mari and lime was particularly
referred to- and in the course of the discussion much
valuable information was elected. The Society
unanimously resolved, on motion of Judge Rufin,
that in its opinion the services Of Dr. Emmons as
State Geologist have been eminently useful to the
State, and the earnest wish was expressed that he
might be continued as State Geologist
A committee consisting of Judge Rufin, B. F..
Moore, K. Rayner, Charles Manly, and D. NJ. Bar
ringer, appointed to apply to the next Legisa-
ture for new and better act of incorporation than
the one under which the Society is now acting.
On motion of W. R. Cox, Esq, the North Caro-
lima Planter was unanimously recommended to the
patronage of the farmers of the State

counseled the immediate occupation of Rome at the

Breckiuridee and Lane Tickets.

We are printing large supply of Breckenridge
and Lane tickets, and will send them by mail, post
age paid, for 50 per thousand. Those who may call
for them at the Office will not be charged any thing
for them.
North Carolina can cast $4,000 votes We call
upon the Electors, the subeectors and active DEM
ocrats generally to see to it that there is full sup
ply of Breckenridge and Lane tickets at every pre-
cnct early on the morning Of the election, and that
some two or three Democrats interest themselves
particularly all day IN inducing the people to vote
the tickets Recollect that active efforts on the day
of election will save hundreds of votes.

nation of Gov. Gist convening the Legislature Of
South Carolina for the purpose of choosing Electors
to cast the vote of the State in the approaching Pres
idential election, will be found in our columns this
morning. 1t will be noticed that, in addition to the
usual duties of this quadrennia extra session, the
Governor points out the probable necessity of TAX
ing action for the safety and protection Of the State
1t is quite possible that the consideration Of this
matter may prolong the extra session until the
period fixed for the opening of the regular session.
In viw of the fact that the general result of the
election for President will be known within forty
eight hours after its occurrence, We presume the
Legislature will not, under any circumstances, ad-
