THE RAINs-Several heavy rains have fallen
in this vicinity during the past week. The creeks
in several localities have been high, doing much
damage to the corn on the bottoms. A gentleman
writing to us from Cureton's Store, says: "On
Wednesday last Uhe Both ult.) we had severe
hail storm at this place which extended to the
River, doing much damage to the crops especially
the cotton crop. This was in the morning about
O'clock and on that same evening | was told that
another hail storm, doing much damage, passed
over the other side of the River in Chester

TO BE CONTINUED.
THE TRUE POSITION.

We cordially endorse the following from the
Goldsboro Tribune whose editor has been contend
ing for the rights of the South for many, many
years:
'sIt is we'll known that the Democratic Party
have taken the ground of non iufcrre"tiOn by
Congress with the question of slavery in the Ter
ritories AS one of the Southern and States Right
party, we have always thought this the proper
ground, and have at times endeavored to enforce
the sentiment as the best for the security of the
South and the safety of the Union. On this basis.
the question of slavery in the Territories was left
to the people thereof in conformity with the
principle of the Federal Constitution BY the
adoption of this principle the democratic party
succeeded without it there is no likelihood they
could have done so. and hope of success in the
future. We thought this much as any south
ern man ought to ask; as much as he could expect
in the Union, and certainly will not join in
false issues to get out Of it. Let all be done
candidly and above board. We do not approve of
the effort to introduce plank in the democratic
platform to which conservative men cannot agree,
and which only result in the disruption of the
democratic party and dissolution of the Union
The integrity of that party. its cohesion and sue
cess, can only save this Union.
The scccc3ers desired the interr~nfiom of Con-
gress the question of slavery in the Territories;
a slave code for the Territories, and the protection
of slavery by Congress, where it does not now and
where it is admitted by all that it can never exist
Thus, indeed predicating dispute among friends
upon an abstraction.

BELL AND EVERETT.

The nomination of Bell and Everett (says the
Richmond Examiner) is not regarded the
happest stroke of policy upon the part of our
Opposition friends As very respectable gentlemen,
they may command the whole of the existing force
of the old Wing party-but they have no elements
of outside popular strength to attract any other
large class of voters. The following, from the
Washington Star, expresses the sentiment of the
politicians in Washington
''Washington was taken all aback by the announce
mcnt, that the Constitutional Union Convention
had actually nominated John Bell and Edward
Everett, who, though certainly two of the most
respectable gentlemen Of the land were universally
voted unable to bring to the aid of their cause a
single vote outside of their strc:est party organiza
ton. Their political friends here, with one accord
however much they esteemed and admired them
personally, were certainly chagrined by their
nomination, beyond expression. The truth is, the
Convention in making those nominations have
thrown away their only chance of success, which
was to run their nominees into the House of
Representatives 1t is utterly impossible that they
can carry vote in any saveholding State beyond
their narrowest party strength; and they by no
means carry that if the Democracy run two tickets
in them, as one or the other ticket supported by
the Democracy will surely swallow up much OF
their &C.. ~ party"
"ln the North they will fail under any crcum-
stances to win single electoral vote, though they
may receive the votes of tens of thousands there
who would have voted for the Democratic party
had their party made no nominations We do not
see how they In any manner weaken the
Republican party. Had Houston or Mclean been
nominated, the action of the Convention might
have seriously affected the result ofthe Presidential
election in November; but they chose, literally, to
throw away their game"
