will seek his favoritc cnchantresS within the next
month, and retire to some lonely valley or to the
shaded banks of some babbling brook, there to eX-
patatc upon the beauties of nature and probably of

KITTRELLs SPRNG-We are pleased to learn that
this very popular locality is in fair way, under the
auspices of the Messrs Blacknall, to be surrounded
with ample accommodations, upon the most ap-
proved modern plan. The grounds about the spring
are alive with the busy clank of the tools oc the
penter and mason and those who visited the place
last season, under untarOrable circumstances, may
60 back the ensuing season with the confident ex-
pectaton of finding every comfort that can be de-
sired We understand, also, that it is the purpose
of the propretors to place small pleasure steam
boat on the mill pond near by for pleasure excur-
sions This will add greatly to the attractions of

AMERICAN HOTEL CHARLESToN.-Wec call attention
to the Card of Mr. G. A. Neufer, of the American
Hotel, Charleston. Mr.. \. informs that he has
rooms for about five hundred persons, and can &C
commodate that number at the approaching Conven-
ton. 1t seems that much of the difficulty in rela-
ton to accommodations at Charleston has arisen
from the fact that the Mills House and Charleston
Hotel have been almost entirely relied on Besides
these Hotels there in Charleston the American,
the Pavilion, the Planters the Victoria House, the
Merchants the Commercial House, together with
numerous private boarding houses. Mr. n. has no
doubt that ample accommodations will be offered the
delegates The current charges, he says, will be s.
per day. with extra charges for consultation rooms
for delegates, &c. No one should complain under
the circumstances at s. per day for board and lodg
ing.

Gov. ELLIS SPEECH.-We publish this week the
speech of Gov. Ellis before the democratic State
Convention. 1t will richly repay a perusal and We
hope all will read it. and then hand it to their 5h-
bors to read ..... =
Our opposition friends appear considerably ex-
ercsed about this speech but this of course is the
best evidence of its telling effect upon their cause
No one expected the Governor to make a speech
that would please the opposition. However, We
hope all who have had the least idea of voting for
Mr.. Pool, will read the speech before doing so.
We notice that the opposition presses have COM
ly denouncing him on his speech. The Governor is
too well known, and has too strong hold on the
affections of the people of North Carolina to be in
jured much in that way.-Charlotte Democrat.

name of the Hon. Warren Winslow, Of North Car

with that. His has been plain and conserva-
tive. Gov. Winslow is one of the most popular

inst, inficting confusion of the face, put
ting the left eye out and breaking the left arm near
the elbow joint. The facts are thus related by
gentleman who was on the train and an eye witness
to the frighttul accident. The footman, French
man and printer, aged between so and 60 years,
was on the bridge Tar river, about midway,
when the engineer, Mr.. Perry, entered the bridge.
He observed the man, blew the alarm whistle and
then blew on the stop breaks. The man gave heed
to the alarm, stopped, and backed himself close up
to the wall of the bridge and stood erect and had
he remained thus, would have been passed unin-
jured; but, under the influence of liquor, as he I'M

Wake County,.

We publish to-day notice for a meeting in one
of the Districts of this County, to appoint delegates
to a County Convention to nominate candidates for
the Legislature.
1t has been the custom of the Democrats of Wake
County to hold Convention on Monday of May
Court to nominate candidates; and we take it for
granted that Convention will be held at the ensu-
ing NAY Court, which will commence on the third
Monday of the month 1t is important at this crisis
that the Convention shall be full one in order that
every portion of the County may be heard. 1t is
also very important that a spirit of harmony and
concord should be cultivated and that every Demo-
crat should determine to stand by the action of the
County Convention. Our opponents are already
calculating on divisions in our ranks. They know
thatSo long the Democrats of Wake are united they
are invincible Let us dSappoint them as we have
heretofore done. Let us remember hat "united.
we standardized, We fall" Our opponents will
probably have out full ticket for the LegiSa-
ture and they will not be choice or particular in
the means which they will use to carry the County
Let us, then, begin in time. Let District Meet
ings be held in all parts of the County, and let the
Convention be the fullest and the most influential
ever assembled in Wake. Harmony, concord, and
proper exertion will give us the victory hereto
fore; but dscord, apathy or indifference may result
diSastrously to the cause.
- The Editor of the Raleigh Register refers to
the personal difficulty which took place between Mr..
Rayner and the Editor of this paper in 1856; and
the Editors of the Fayetteville Observer have made
a similar alluson. We do not see what personal
matter between Mr.. Rayner and oursef can have to
do with his our political course. 1t is true the
Editor of this paper had personal difficulty with
Mr. Rayner, but it has been settled on terms honor
able to both. We entertain no malice against Mr..
Rayner, and he entertains no malice against US.
We might retort upon the Editors of both these
journals but we forbear to do so.
If the Editor of the Register desires personalities
in this campaign, we do not; but if he ~HL have
Them we will be sure to meet him half way. This
aluSiOn to difficulty with Mr. Rayner may please
al few people, for whose good opinion We care no
thing; but beyond that it will do ncghbor quite
as much injury as it will u.s.
