FRAUDULENT TICKETS.

Notes the people against ticket in circula-
ton calculated to deceive. 1t is headed National
Democratic Ticket" and contains the names OF
the Douglas electors without the names of Douglas
and johnson. The names of Douglas and johnson
were left off the ticket for the purpose of deceiv-
ing unsuspecting democrats, who, if those names
were on it and its character known would discard
it, Whoever got up such ticket did SO for the
purpose of decciving democratic voters into the
support of the Douglas faction.
The true democratic ticket is headed with
Breckenridge and Lane and Scales and Haywood
and others as electors. Every democrat who wants
to sustain his party, will vote that ticket.
Rock ISLAND GoODs.-Young & Wriston of
this place. manufacturers of Cassimeres at the Rock
Island Mills in this county, took the highest pre-
MUM $3.50 at the Richmond (Va.) Fair week
before last on goods exhibited The Richmond
Examiner, speaking Of the Rock Island goods, says:
These goods surpass in beauty and intrinsic
worth anything of the kind We remember to have
SEEM and should attract the attention of purchasers
wherever they may be exhibited. We noticed
among the samples displayed, several grades and
styles, any one of which would grace the figure Of
the most fastidious, and are fair opponents Of
Southern enterprise in the old North State, at
the same time clearly proving that we have al
ready at doors the means of favorably cOmpet-
ing with any mandatory in the country. The
goods made Of pure wool, free from the cheats
and mixtures often found in Northern fabrics, and
are put uD in handsome and attractive style BY
their energy and perseverance,, these gentlemen
have built up a business Of about one hundred
thousand dollars annually overcoming the OBJ
stacles so long and urgently argued against South
u
important institution of the South With all our
heart, we wish them greater success than they
have even yet enjoyed"
The hig chest premium also awarded at the
n. G. State Fair and at the Mecklenburg Far to
the Rock Island goods These goods deserve the
attention of all Southern dealers at least.

FIRE.-A tobacco house on the farm of DIR. !

dollars worth of tobacco consumed
Mr. JOHNsoN.-H. V. johnson, the Douglas
candidate for Vice President, stopped few hours
at MIR Films Hotel in this place, on Tuesday night,
on his way from the North, where he has been
electioneering! Mr. johnson was serenaded, and
made speech, IL which, we learn, he abused Mr.
Buchanan and the democratic Administration at a
terrible rate, and spoke in the most disparaging
terms of Mr. Breckenridge. This was to have been
expected from the leader of party which is work
ing to break down the democratic party.
