SPIRITUAL DIAMOND HUNTERs.-The
Knights Ferry Index says it is strange, but
nevertheless true, that intelligent persons,
in that region, in every other respect ra-
tional, have been induced to sit night after
night communing with spirits, in relation to
a monstrous diamond said to have been
found and lost by miner. The spirits
have frequently reported the treasure to be
within foot or %, of the diggers, but
somehow tbc sein is spirited off, aud keeps
about 50 much in advance ack-o' lantern
like. The Index believes the stone, found
aud accidentally dropped in the water by
the finder. was a common pebble covered
with "fox-tre," which went out as soon as
it fell into the brook.

LARGE LUMPs OF SLvER.-The largest
piece of silver ever taken from a mine was
found in Norway, and placed in the Royal
Museum at Copenhagen. 1t weighed $50
pounds, and was worth when smelted about
$4,000. In South America mass of silver
nearly pure, was found in 1894, which
weighed $40 pounds. These Jumps are ex-
ceptlonal. Silver is seldom found in pieces
of many pounds weight.

GREAT CAsTING.-Quite crowd assem-
bled at the Washington Navy Yard, Octo-
Der 18th, to witness the casting of a pro.
peller for the Government steamship PEN
sacola. The propeller is eighteen feet six
inches in diameter, and required $4,000
pounds Of metal to complete it. The time
occupied was only fourteen minutes.

UNAcCoUNTABLE.-We notice that there is
a difference Of fifteen votes, in this county,
on the candidates for Electors on the same
tickets. What reason a man can have, who
wishes to vote for candidate for President,
dent. to scratch off the name of one of bis
Electors, is more than we can imagine. 1t
is done, however, at every Presidential elee-
tion.

SHooTING.-Two Mexicans, named Jose
Maria Dias and Jose California, were shoot,

the officers. The FIRE was returned by the
officers, and the Mexicans were both woun-
ded, one of them seriously.

Coon ADyICE.-The election being over,
and having little to do, except wait for the
returns, the editor of the Marysville Demo

advises all good Democrats to do the same.
With many of them, it will be something
new, and while the novelty lasts the thing

JUDGES OF JACKs.-At the Santa Clara
Agricultural Fair, the Directors appointed,
as a Committee on jackasses, the nominees
of the different political parties for Senate
and Assembly. This, it is supposed. was
cute political move, but for what ends, has
not yet transpired. The report of the COM
mittee on jackasses will, undoubtedly. be
racy affair.

MAINE ELEorIox.-The election for State on
GERS and members of Congress, in Maine, took
place Sept. 10th. The vote is thought to be the
largest ever pollcd in that State. Returns
from one hundred and sixteen towns give
washburne, (Rep) 33,4s5; Smart, (Dem) 49,
stI; Barnes, (Union,) l,O2O. These figures
show Republican sain of about 1000 over the
vote of last year. The Republican candidates
for Congress are probably all elected, though
there is a possibility that two Of the Democratic
candidates may have been successful The
Democratic candidates in Maine were all friends
OF Douglas, and the Hght was made, as in 1860
ON Popular Sovereignty principles. The prob
ability is that Maine will go for Lincoln in No
vember. II went for Fremont in 1856.

Nortl, CaroIIna Election.

The Wilmington Journal says that official and unomcia
reports have been received from all the counties Ia the
State and the majority Mr. Ellis the Democratic can
didate is thousand five hundred and eighty votes The
loss since tie last election only about ten thousand votes
FROM present indications free to admit that the chan
css are decidedly in favor of the Bell and Everett ticket Oh
tanning the electoral vote of North Carolina IN November
We clip the above from the Augusta (Ga) ConS1tu-
tionaIiSt, Douglas paper. We are at loss to under
stand why the Constituencies is so ready to admit
that the chances decidedly in favor of the Bell and
Everett ticket unless he contempateS on split in the
Democratic party, which split he would probably be
glad to see. This we know full well the Bel+ites
are striving to accomplish with all the means in their
power. We, however have too much confidence in the
Democrats of North Carolina to believe they will be
thus guled. But even should the Douglas Democrats
determine to run ticket of their own, we have the
strongest reasons for believing that the electoral vote OF
the State will be cast for Breckenridge and Lane
There is not now Douglas paper in the State-not
that peends to give him any support at least Ed
itoriay, except those of the Opposition party, and
everybody knows upon what grounds their pretended
sympathies are formed We tell the Constituencies
that Breckenridge and Lane will carry the State. This
may be put down as settled fact

We commend the following, from the last Wilmington

& With all courtesy and all sincerity, we appeal to
every man. who, in good faith might prefer somebody

party in this State. If not his first choice Breckenridge

What good can come of running taco Democatic Eec-
toral tickets in this State? None whatever Such a
course could not benefit Judge Douglas, but it might
throw the vote of the State for Bell and Everett Is
there Democrat in the State who desires to see the ten
Electoral votes of Carolina cast for Bell and Ey

We ask the Douglas Democrats if the ticket which
we are supporting will not be fair one for Douglas
in certain event, if it really Douglas ticket
Ii the vote of this State will elect Douglas or place him
in the House. and if that vote will neither elect Brock
lnridge nor place him in the House. the Douglas Demo
Gratis may rest assured that the vote will be cast for
Douglas. What more can be asked? Why throw
away this chance by running separate ticket and thus
IN all probability, giving the State to Bell and Everett

Arson and Murder.

A lamentabe of arson, resulting in the death of
Lemon Price, occurred in this county, on last Wednes
day night The deceased had been at a grog shop be-
longing to his nephew, James Price, during the evening
and had become Intoxicated He lay down to sleep in
the vicinity of the grog shop, and was after sometime
carried into the shop by Joe or Josiah Smith who
with his wife, are accused of having perpetrated the
horrd deed Smith conesses having carried or help
ed deceased into the shop and to having locked him up
there merely as 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 boh as to these facts was in evidence before the
Coroners 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
That the burning of the shop was the work of an in
cendiary is put beyond all doubt by the quantity of
combustble materials such as fence rails &C. found in
the vicinity after the fire.
The unfortunate man was so completely consumed 90
to defy recognition. He was some SIS or 60 wears of
age, lived dissolute life and has died horrid death at
the hands.et some demon far worse than himself.
James Price, better known as Doctor James Price
and his wife Mary whom he married on Saturday even
ing just before going into prison. have been Committed
to testify against the accused-they were tie main
witnesses before the Coroners jury

MIR. Rodman's Letter

In our paper will be found weILwritten and we'll
considered letter from the pen Of VIM. B. Rodman Esq,
Democratic Elector for the I'd Congressional District
addressed to the Editors Of the Newbern Enquirer
We hope every reader whether he be for Breckenridge
Douglas, or Bell, will give the letter careful perusa
His arguments are, according to way OF thinking
entirely correct and incontrovertible, and how any
Southern man can come to different conclusions, we are
unable to conceive He shows why it is the duty Of the
South to support the Breckenridge and Lane ticket in
preference to all Others There no evasion or equivo
cation in the platform upon which they stand and that
if we do not demand rights now, it will be too late
to do 30 hereafter The question which now agtates
the country must be met and is the time for the
South to meet it. AS the Enquirer truly says, the
letter abounds with plain statements of facts ogica
conclusions and sound argument, free from appeals
the preudices of the people, but showing to the South
the exact position which she occupies and the only
sure and eectua remedy for the evils which threaten he
and the institutions which she by right, should enjoy
unmolested under the Constitution"
