The seyvnrd-GreeIey Feud.

The San Francisco Herald, in speaking of the
bitter quarrel between Seward and Greeley says
The feud between Seward and Greeley Is,
apparently, irreeoncleable, and, there is every
reason 10 anticipate, it will exercise very i'm
portant influence in the Presidential campaign.
1t has split the Republican party in twain, and
already the party organs have almost forgotten
the rail-spitter to discuss the respective merits
of the leaders in the family quarrel. Indeed,
the story of Seward ingratitude and of Greedy S
treachery may be very properly considered the
prominent features of the Chicago programme,
although it does not appear in the shape of q
resolution in the platform and that in the
warmth of its discussion, party victory will be
esteemed of less Importance than the gratiica-
ton of personal revenge, on the one side, and
hatred on the other. The tariff question by
Greeley and the irrepressible conflict by Seward,
appear to be entirely lost sight of in the melee
and wherever the Senator and the journalist
have partisans the same forgetfulness of ques-
tons concerning principle will be observed

PARsoS BRowNLow on DoUGLAs.-Perhaps no
man in America has said more hard and con-
temptuous things of Douglas than the famous
Brownlow. He has for years pronounced him a
demagogue. Yet having heard Douglas great
speech in reply to JEFF. Davis, he was compelled
to admit its extraordinary ability. Hear him:
The speech was an able one, both powerful
and convincing, for as a debator doubt wheth-
er be has superior in American public life.
But he sways the people, and inspires
both friends and foes with admiration for his
ability think never heard such an effort,
and have heard all who speak of it say the
same. He made the Senate Caucus,
who adopted Davis resolution condemning
Squatter Sovereignty, look like gang of stupid
asses, utterly ignorant of what they were doing.

CAN'T FORGIVE Hix.-The S. F. Times assumes
heartiness of voice in hurraing for Lincoln, but
all the time " feels he'll in its heart towards
those who defeated Seward. Referring to the
famous letter of Greeley, dissolying the co-part-
nership of Seward, Weed & Greeley, it says:
The publication of this letter proves quite
clearly that Greeley's opposition to seward at
chicago did not proceed so much from regard
to the public good and success of the Republican
party as from personal feeling. 1t is unfortunate
for Mr.. Greeley that the letter ever pub
lished. 1t proves him to be very different man
from what his warmest friends and admirers
had thought him to be. When they supposed
he was actuated by the highest and noblest of
motives and impulses, he was chatting and
fretting about paltry offices and honors. He will
never again have the confidence of the honest
masses of the people that he has had. He will
now be put upon the defensive, and compelled
to defend himself from the charge of being gov
erned by grovelling ambition and unpatriotic
revenge. The letter was great mistake.

THE GRAND MILITARY SOIREE.

The grand Military Soiree came off with grand
effect Thursday night Maj Gen D1aughon and staff,
together with the two Military companies of Town,
and the Cadets were present on the occasion. The
Hall was tastefully and appropriately decorated
with flags mottos and lettered gas light the latter
was executed in a beautiful style by Jas. Bowcs,
ESQ Upon entering the Hall, the first thing which
attracted attention the word WELCOME, burning
beautifully in gas. We ought to qualify the above,

which took part.

Der contains nine articles. St. Stephens, Poem
intended to give sketches Of the most prominent
orators of the English Hoase Of Commons, from the
time of the civil wars to that OF Mr. + Peel. We
read this first part with pleasure. Mr. Bulls Song,
The Sly Little Mah, is excellent. We think that
with some little alterations it might with more
truthfuness answer matters nearer homel Norman
Sinclair; Kambles at Random in the Southern
States; The Voyage of the Fox in the Arctic

FATAL RExcouNrKE IN AsnBoRo-We learn from
a friend who received letter from Asbboro, that a
difficulty occurred on last Tuesday, between Matth-
ew Dixon and. Robert Wear. It appears that Wear
had some spite against Dixon, and that on the day
above mentioned Dixon being in stable, Wear ap-
preached him with a knife ard cowhide in hand,
Dixon seeing Wear approach him thus, picked up a
brick threw it at W ear and broke his scull, from
the effect of which he died. Dixon arrested
and an application is being made to Judge Dick to
admit him to bail.

DOUGLAS AT CHARLESTON.

From the which things now taking IN
the North. and also in some sections of the South
it is evident that Douglas will stand head and
shoulders above his competitors fer the Charleston
nomination. Tie bold and conservative stand
taken by Mr. Douglas, in the United States Senate
for the rights of the South, has strengthened hin in
all quarters and it is evident that although nlst
look upon him in Light unsound upon the
great question of popular sovereignty, he is, never
theless sound upon the great vital question of the
day
The Cincinnati Enquirer, of the most rabid
Douglas organs in the Northwest, gives him IT,
commence with the seven Northwestern States
Ohio, Indiana Illinois, MICHIGAN Missouri, Minneso-
ta and Iowa. which will have sixty-six votes in tic
Charleston Convention, and will be represented
one hundred ald thirty ty-tsyes delegates
tothe sixty A yosss, as certain
Tor Douglas, 35 votes from New York, seven frohf
New Jersey, forty-one from New England and foul
from California. This would give him one hundred
and fifty votes on the first ballot, which is half thl
Convention. At early day it is asserted he VIII
get the twenty seven votes of Pennsy yvania, thre{
from Delaware, eight from Maryland, nine froI}
Missouri four from Arkansas, four from Texas, and
probably twelve from Tennessee, which constitute
considerably more than two-thrls of the wholI
number required to nominate. Such the calcua
lations of Mr Douglas most ardent supporters.
How things will end it is not for to say; buI
this we will state that in favor of the Charles
ton nominee with the readoption of the Cincinnati
platform, pure aud unauthorized.
1t cannot be denied that the Judge has SOM
ardent admirers in this State in the Democratic
party, but there is not the slightest hope of thei
having weight enough to send solitary delegate t
the Charleston Convention.
