Politics In North Carolina.

The Cha, lotte Bulletin (Which supports
Breckinridge and Lane for the Presidency
and Vice-Presidency) predicts that the State
will be carried by the Opposition in No.
vembcr next This opinion is predicaied up
on the failure Of the late effort to uuite the
Breckinridge and Douglas Democrats of
that Stale. The friends of Douglas pro.
posed reconciliation on the following
(one.sided?) y basis
"lf the vote of the State will elect Doug
las, or place Kim in the House, and that
vote will neither elect Breckinridge nor
place him in the House. the Douglas Dem
ocrats may rest assured that the vote will
be cast for Douglas"
This proposition WAS rejected by toe
friends of Mr.. Breckinridge, rs the Bulletin
thinks, unwisely; and the result is the for.
nation of regular Douglas organization
in North Carolina and the arrayng of Dou"
gas and Brecknridge Democrars against
each other. In view Of this state of things,
the Bulletin believes that the vote of the
State will bo cast for Bell and Everett

as a cloak for the purpose Of carving on
their ueiarous business Of enticing ne

Monday, Mr.. A. J. Worman, who res

city, started IN company with another
gentleman iu pursuit Of some NEGROES
whose headquarters were in the woods
near his residence, and who have of late
been committing serious depreIaiious on
bIs and other citizens property. In their
search they succeeded in arres,ing two
negro men, who were suspected AS being
runsways, aud bought them to the city,
where they were placed in jail While
coming toward tie city with their cap,iyes
they observed Tree, portion OF whose
bark Was coyer,d with mud, led 70 the
suspicion that something was concealed
therein.

until it revealed hollow place in the
