Johnston County.

The communication of "a Hearer," from John
ston's District giving account Of the speaking at
Pleasant Grove Academy came to hand too late for
our last weekly paper. Pressed as are for space
our correspondent will no doubt excuse us for Civ
ing only the substance Of his article
Some two or three hundred persons had assem-
bled with the hope of hearing Mr. Haywood, of
Wake, and Mr.. Smith, of Johnston; but, in the alb
sence of these gentleman, speeches were made by
W. H. Lambert Esq, DR.. j. I. Leach, Linn B.
Sanders, Esq, and b. II. Tonllinson, ESQ., The
speeches, With the exception Of that of DR.. Leach,
were no doubt all off.hand as the gentlemen called
out did not expect to address the people the
casion. Mr. Lambert replied to DR.. Leach. Our
correspondent says the Doctors speech was mot
interrupted by applause, but by confusion" The
Doctor evidently made nothing by that speech j..
w. B. Watson, Esq, the Democratic candidate for
the Senate, and James Mtchiner, Esq, one of the
Democratic candidates for the Commons, were pres
ent, but by request of the Committee did not speak,
as the regular campaign had not commenced.
Our correspondent speaks in highly complimenta-
ry terms of the efforts of Messrs. Lambert Sanders,
and Tomnson. He says:
"You may look for J. w. b. Watson in the Sem
ate, and William II. Watson and James Mitchiner
in the House of Commons of the next Legislature.
! hear old say they never took such an interest
in politics before. Our Democracy are thoroughly
aroused We will send you also a rousing majority
for Ellis"
This information is similar to what We have been
receiving from Johston for several weeks past The
Democrats of Johnston have prudently determined
that the Presidential question shall not affect their
harmony and they are now engaged with united eff
forts in making sure of their County. William H.
Watson, who is one of the best stump speakers in
the State, is making himself felt by his clear state
ments and cogent arguments. Mr. Mitchiner who
is in the field for the first time, produces fine i'm
preston wherever he goes while j. W. B. Watson,
also in the field for the first tme displays superior
talents as debater DR.. Leach will be beaten, the
whole Democratic ticket will be elected and Gov.
Ellis will fully maintain his majority of two years
ago.
This is indeed good news from Johnston. Three
cheers for ner invincible Democracy

GRANVILLE COUNTY,

Mr.. HoLDEN: The campaign in Granville CON-
meuced on last Monday, consequently it has been
progressing only one week. am glad to have it in
my power from what can learn-and have it from
the people themselves-to inform our brethren
throughout the State that the Granville Democracy
is united and harmonious, and confident of glorious
victory on the LIST Thursday in August next
We feared before the campaign commenced that
the Oppositianists would have the advantage of us
in debate, as they had on their ticket two shrewd
lawyers, and old and experienced speakers, Messrs
Amis and Edwards. But fortunately Mr.. W. H. P
jenkins was placed on our ticket, who possesses
such logical mind and powers of eloquence as to
keep those two gentlemen within their proper sphere
He electriies every audience before whom he ap-
pears. have never witnessed the amount of en-
thusiasm which his speeches produce, especially
when his youth and nexperience are considered.
Mr. s. Fl. Cannady is also in his first campaign, and
is making argumentative and telling speeches. j.
N. Bullock and c. FL. X. Taylor, Esquires are also
doing good work in the cause. Granville will do
her whole duty in the present contest. She will
send to the Legislature full antiad caloren1 dele
cation, and give John w. Ellis for Governor an in
creased majority. A CITIZEN.

A SUMMARY OF JOHN POOLS RECORD

Keep it before the peOple-Ln the last Legislature
John Pool voted against direct proposition to
tax young and old negroes not now taxed. .
John Pool voted against letting the people say
whether they would have a convention or not
John Pool dodged-dM not rote at all on the
amendment to the Revenue Bill, whereby it was
proposed to reduce the tax on land from 20 to 10
cents on the $l00-yes.
Remember that John Pool refused to cote to re-
duce the tar on land and he afraid to vote against
it-so he lodged
John Pool rOted to reduce the tax on the negro
from eighty to sixty-six cents
John Pool voted against increasing the tax on the
rich Banker and money lender
John Pool voted to tax liquors manufactured in
North Carolina as high as liquors imported from
the abolition State of Ohio or elsewhere
John Pool voted against Mr.. Bledsoe's Resolu-
tions, instructing the Committee on Finance to re-
port neso bill on tie ad ualOrem principle-drect-
ly voting against al cdLOrene in all its features.
John Pool voted against Mr.. GorrellS amendment
which proposed to call free and open convention
to alter the Constitution of the State.
This is a brief synopsis of John Pools record
when he was in The Legislature, and in every in
stance, we find him voting against the doctrine
which he now advocates.
His partizans may attempt to deny this record,
but let democrats point them to the chapter and
rerSe--the pages of the Senate Journal which, for
their convenience, we keep standing in another
column and intend to keep it standing until the
day of electon.-G Olds60rO R0ugh Notes.

A Valuable PIow,

We examined recently, in this City, pillow de-
signed and patented by j. H. Gooch, Esq, of the
county of Granville, which appears to be admirably
adapted to the various purposes it is intended to
swer. 1t is a combination pillow. By an arrange
ment of its various parts it forms cutivator sub
soil and part turning pillow, half moldboard and a
complete turning plow; also, cotton scraper and
cotton sweep pillow. Mr. Gooch, whose judgment
in such matters is excellent claims that this pillow
can be made substitute for several separate pows;
and that it will answer every purpose in the cult
walton of wheat oats corn cotton, and tobacco. 1t
is simple in its construction, and can easily be
changed from one shape to another.
Mr.. Gooch is now manufacturing these plows at
Oxford, and will deliver them at Henderson Depot,
without the cotton scraper and sweep at 81 each ;
and with the scraper and sweep at S.. This pillow
has been tried by many of the leading farmers Of
Granville, who have given Mr.. Gooch the following
certificate:
ave the undersigned take pleasure in certifying
that we have been using Mr.. j. II. Goochs Cultiva-
tor Flows for some time, and that we believe them
to be superior to any plows we have ever used and
further certify that our lands produce much better
crops when cultivated with said plows than any
other"
These plows may be seen at the store of Mr..
Towles, in this City.

pose the services of gentleman lady competent TO take

of the Academy building which is commodious and
Gated in pleasant part of the town, with the sole con-
ditiOn that the building be kept and returned IN good Re-

departments were separate the latter yielded larger

DISTRESSING Disaster on james Rirer !

NORFOLK, July Col. p M.-The steamship
Pennsylvania, Capt. Teal, of the Philadelphia and
Virginia Line was burnt last light in James River
near jamestown, about 60 miles below City Point
and where the river Is some three miles wide
The Pennsylvania left Norfolk about four o'clock
P. NJ, for City Point and Richmond having heavy
cargo on board, and some half-dozen passengers.
The fire was first discovered about eleven o clock
when the flames suddenly burst from the boiler
deck and spread rapidly to all parts of the ship.
The passengers and crew thus suddenly aroused,
had scarcely time to save themselves in their night
clothes; and as the flames aft prevented them from
getting the boats down. they resorted to rafts tables
boards, anything else upon which they could
place their hands, committed themselves to the wa
ter.
The passengers were G. D. Graham, of Philadel-
phia; Mrs. McClung, of Richmond; Mrs Deitz and
four children of Pennsylvania. Three Of this ladies
children were unfortunately drowned.
The regular river steamer Curtis Peck, Capt
Clifford, which left Richmond yesterday afternoon
at o'clock, for City Point Fortress Monroe, Nor
folk and Portsmouth, was detained en- route by the
storm, and came up with the burning ship about a
half hour after the fire broke out.
The gallant Captain of the Curtis Peck, and his
noble crew, aided by several of the passengers de-
voted themselves heroically to the work, and sue
ceeded in saving all on the RATS, as we'll as those
remaining on the ship.
The Curtis Peck, with the surviving passengers
arrived here this morning.
The cargo will prove total loss, and as much
of it was very valuable, the loss will be heavy.
The fire is supposed to have been. caused by
spontaneous combustion.
Great efforts were made by Capt Teal and crew
to extingush the flames and save the passengers.
The surviving passengers of the Inflated ship,
will leave here this afternoon on the Norfolk and
Petersburg Railroad for Richmond.

Forsyth County.

The last Sentinel gives interesting account of
the discussion at Sides between the candidates for
the Legislature in Forsyth.
That well-tried Democrat, COL Jesse A. Waugh,
is in the field for the Senate in Forsyth and Stokes,
Mr.. Martin, the former Senator, having declined a
reelection. Col Waugh has no open or direct OPP
posion. DR.. Withcrs, talking man, having met
him twice on the stump has thought better Of it
and retired; and now Col Covington of Stokes, is
announced a sort of quiet candidate against Col.
W.-the understanding being that Col. c. is not to
canvass. Col Waugh's election is certain by a
large majority.
The Democratic candidates for the Commons arc
John Masten, Esq, one of the former Commoners !;
and Philip Barrow Esq, formerly Senator from the
district who has taken the place of F. Fries, Esq.,
declined, mainly on account of i'll health. Dr.
Kerner and Gen. Poindexter are the X. n candi-
dates for the Commons From the account given
in the Sentinel it is evident that Mr. Masten is too
much for Gen. Poindcxter in debate.
The Sentinel pays the following deserved compli-
ments to MeSsrs. Masten and Barrow:
There seems to be special animosty in the mind
of certain political trcksterS in this county, to vii
lily, 10 traduce and defeat John Masten's election
any unprcjudced mind who has attended the dis
cussons since the opening of the canvass this ques-
ton has a fair solution. Mr.. Mastcn is rising
man. With a ShrewdnesS and adroitncsS, unex-
peced by even his most intimate friends, he is &C.
tually aSsaing and literally using up the champion
of the Opposition 1t is notifying to them, liter
ally excruciatng and woundng to their pride to see
a man of the field, armed, however, with the piano.
ply of truth and right principles, engaging the Co.
iah of their host, and driving him from the field,
second best on every occasion.
Democrats of Forsyth county, such man is wor-
thy Of your support; he deserves to be sustained.
As a citizen, he has ever been upright, honest and
just; and as representative faithful, watchful and
true. You may so to the polls and deposit your
votes for him, feeling assured that he will never be-
tray the trust you repose in him sleep while your
interests are at stake.
No man ever possessed a more amiable charac-
ter-a more noble or generous heart than Philip
Barrow friend of the people; devoted to the
cause of morality industry and virtue; christian
by practice; patriot without pretenSon as ready
to obey the calls of humanity, to contribute to the
wants of the poor to accept honors at the hands
of his fellow citizens. The people of Forsyth
ty Wings and Democrats, love the man. We have
known him long and well, he is worthy of every
confidence. His election, by an overwhelming ma
orty is sure as the coming of the second day o..
August next"
