ARSON AND MURDER-A lamentable case of arson,
resulting in the death of Lemon Price, occurred in
this county, on last Wednesday night. The deceas-
ed had been at grog shop belonging to his nephew
James Price, during the evening and had become in
toxicated He lay down to sleep in tile vicinity of
the grog shop, and was, after sometime carried into
the shop by one Joe or Josiah Smith, who with his
wife, accused of having perpetrated the horrid
deed. Smith confesses to having carried Or helped
deceased into the shop and to having locked him
up there merely place of safety. Smiths wife,
Ann, has also confessed that she was the cause Of
the burning of the shop and also Of Prices DEATH
The confession Of both to the facts, was in evil
dence before the Coroner's Jury and constitutes,
we believe the main ground Of the verdict rendered
by that body; and by virtue Of which the accused,
Joe Smith and Ann, his wife, were lodged in Jail last
Saturday. .7'-..:.}-l
That the burning of the shop was the work of an
lncendlary is put beyond all doubt by the quanti-
ty of combustible materials such as fence rails &C.
found in the vicinity after the fire.
The unfortunate man was so completely consul
med as to defy recognition He was sorpe 55 or 80
years Of age lived dissolute life and has died a
norrid DEATH at the hands of some demon far worse
than himself -f ~ :h
James Price, better known as Doctor JAS. Price,
and his wife, Mary, whom he married on Saturday
evening, just before going into, prison, have been
committed to testify against the accused-they were
the main witnesses before the Coroner's jury :
We can but remark, and We do it in sorrow, that
ievoltng deeds of crime are rapidly the increase
In Wayne county.
r T. s. 1t is but just to remark, that one Of the
oooners jury dissented from the verdict as to the
probable guilt Of Joe Smith. Colds. Rough Notes.

Bent, fearing attack, sent messenger to recall
the troops The messenger was attacked and scalp

RALEIGH. N. c.. WEDNEs DAY. AUGUST 20. 1860.

What right had Gen. Gushing to decide, after the
"Seceders" left that there was no longer any Ma
tional Convention Had he the kngly power g to
prorogue" the Convention? But this writer asserts
that there were only II States represented in the
Convention which nominated Douglas by only 1874
delegates where's (says hey there were % States
represented in the Breckenridge Convention by 2S4
delegatesw Now the writer must have known that
this was Misrepresentation, or he must have been
overcome by a blissful Ignorance brought on by
the mesmersm of secession" There were up
wards of 300 delegates in the National Democratic
Convention that nominated Douglas, casting 212
electoral votes! 1t was, despite the action Of the
"Seceders," the National Convention. The "Se-
ceders'" Convention never claimed but 1O5 electoral
votes, and never pretended to have cast more than
that number at any time. I shall stand by the
regular nominees, for oeal or for aoos! !,

Mr. EDITOR: A writer in the Democratic Press
of the 18th instant who evidently has more ram
pant zeal than political knowledge, announces to
the public the following:
1--WE had not supposed that any man in this CON-
munity could De SO inefably stupid as honestly to
believe that there were any regular nominees Of a
for the Presidency and Vice Presidency of these
United States
After the division there was no regular Conven-
ton As soon as the split took place. Gen. Gushing
said there was no longer any National Convention,
and vacated his seat. Each division Of the Conven
ton assembled in separate places, and made their
nominations. Twenty two States were represented,
either in whole or in part by 284 delegates in the
division which nominated Breckenridge and Lane
and only seventeen States, some in WHOLE others in
part were represented in their part branch Of the
Convention which nominated Douglas and Fitzpa-
trick, by only 1874 delegates" -,
Well really this is indeed pleasant, cheering news
which this-evidently new fedged writer in the
Breckenridge cause-announces to the world! No
regular nominee of the Democratic party? Is the
party, then, engaged in the Presidential contest
without nominee who represents the great majori-
ty of national Democrats? If so, then is the party
used up, disrupted, divided-irreconcilably at war
mitting sucide If this be so, what shadow of right
have the Breckenridge party to ask The support of
the friends of Douglas in this State? The truth is
the "Seceders" desire that the impression should
go abroad that there is no regular nominee of the
Democratic party. This is part of the game they
are playing. 1t was their purpose to break up-to
denationalize the Democratic party. As national
party, it was in the way Of their disunion plans.
The whole plan and purpose were foreshadowed by
Yancey, the Charleston Mercury, and other leading
ire-eaters" in the South, as early as the summer
of 1852
But the friends of Judge Douglas do not admit
that the party is broken up and has regular nomi
nee. The "Seceders" are trying to break it up,
because they hate Judge Douglas, who has refused
to unite in their disunion plans, and who is ma
tiona, conservative man and they will succeed in
this if the true friends of the party do not rally
around the Douglas banner, who Is the regular nomi
nee Of the party, as fairly as ever Cass or Pierce
was = ~ 3s..1s 5-.-,-,l.. ss

kIDNAPPING.-We learn that James Stanton, OF
this County, was arrested in Trenton Jones County,
on Wednesday last, on charge of kidnapping, and,
in default Of 81 900 ball. was committed to prison in
that town. Rumor brings US the following details,
but of their accuracy We know nothing
A long time ago, far back, says rumor, as 1872,
ancestor say the grand father of the accu-
sed, emancipated, by WILL certain negroes, the pro-
visions of which will were never, legally, carried
out. The negroes included in the will are said to
have taken their freedom under it simply by the
sufferance of the heirs.
The descendants of these negroes are said to be
living in Craven, Carteret and, perhaps, elsewhere,
and Mr. Stanton, supposing he had right to take
them into possession, wherever found, proceeded to
do So Having provided himself with wagon, and
two three assistants he proceeded to the point in
Craven County, where he had learned the negroes
resided arrested about twenty-five of them, and had
proceeded as far as Trenton his return where he
was arrested and imprisoned
This is all we know of the matter and we state it
only to crafty morbid curiosity alert on the
part Of the public to pry into other peoples matters
We deprecate the duty which makes us the agents
of sowing scandal; but this is business which con-
cerns the rights of others and the public morals,
and is, therefore, fit subject Of public nvestiga-
tion. Whoever, or whatever Mr.. Stanton may be,
simple justcePrompts us to say, in his behalf that
it is the opinion of respectable men in this commu-
nifty, that he has lawful claim to certain negroes
who are now living and have ever lived in Carteret
and Craven as free persons. Whether those in his
possession any of them, when arrested, were the
identical negroes to which he claims right we can
not say.-Goldsboro' Rough Notes

Douglas is to be in Raleigh the 3Oth of this month";
and take it for granted that all those who think
this distinguished statesman, who has stood up so
manfully for the Constitution and the Union against
faction and fanaticism, worthy of respect and COM
mendation, will join in his cordial reception. Let
them remember his noble defence of the rights of
our section in the contest with Lincoln in 1858, and
how can they refuse to rally to his welcome?
hope THE PEOPLE will not fail to come on the 30th

The Z. S. Troops from Forts Rear.
ney and Riley had a battle with the
kiowas near Bent's Fort about the
Gath of July. They demanded Of the
Indians those who committed the late
Outrages, and on Il refusal to give
them up, attacked them. Five kio-
was were killed and thirteen taken
prisoners. The prisoners were left at
the Fort, and the troops proceeded
down the Arkansas, but Bent, fearing
an attack, sent a messenger to recall
the troops. The Indians attacked and
scalped this messenger, leaving him
for dead, but he managed to return to
the Fort, and will probably recover
Bent having but small supply OF
provisions, and fearing trouble, releas-
cd the prisoners.

for several miles by his gambling
