W
Citizen of the United States of America"

We clip the following from the Wilmington Dali
y Journal and assure friends of that paper that
the result in the "2nd District" in November will
verify the appearances which the junior editor
witnessed on his short tour.-ROagh Notes.
1.-The associate editor of the Journal visited Tar
boro', on Monday of this week. The fall term of
the Superior Court for Edgecombe county was in
session, his Honor Judge Heath on the bench
There appeared to be no case of public importance
before the Court. At one o'clock on Tuesday his
honor granted recess to give tie people an oppor-
tunity of hearing VIM. B. Rodman, ESQ.,, the Dem
ocratic elector for the End district. Mr.. Rodman
spoke for about two hours to large and attentive
audience, and his bold and conclusive arguments
were such as to make lasting impression upon the
minds of his hearers. Mr.. Rodman is doing yoe-
mans service in the support of Breckenridge and
Lane and the National Democracy.
Some private business induced us, the associate
aforesaid, TO extend trip to Washington, Beau
fort county, returning home by way of Newbern.-
The cotton crop has evidently suffered some from
the unfavorable weather at the beginning of the
son. but the amount made this year will exceed that
of last year, there having been a much larger area
planted. The corn crop all along seemed to be very
good indeed-never better.
If there were Douglas Democrats we did not see
enough of them to count They are few and far be-
tween. Breckenridge and Lane will get the full
Democratic vote in the End District or else appear
ances are very deceitful.

On Saturday evening we had the pleasure of
meeting Col. Walter L. Steele our friend and CO.
delegate from this district to the Charleston and
Baltimore Convention Col. Steele is strong in the
faith and will do good service for Breckenridge and
Lane. By the way, he thinks that even in the case
of any amount of fusion in New York, the chances
are strong-too stronghold Abe Lincoln will car
ry that State. He thinks better of Pennsylvania.
The regular Democratic Electoral ticket in that
State has very fine showing. The split socaed
straghtout Douglas ticket will redeive little
tenance, save from Forney, and few Others who
have already gone too far towards the freesoil
ers to have any influence with the Democrats. This

A laughable incident occurred on Saturday night
between two gentlemen who visited Cape May in
company with number of excursionists who reside
in the lower part of the city. Drinks had been Of
ter taken by the two gentlemen referred to-in
fact the entire party had not been backward in
smelling at certain black bottle, and about twelve
o'clock the gentlemen were seen with fence be-
tween them, and bottle passing to and fro. As
soon as the liquor was exhausted, one gentleman
proposed that they should go to neighboring tav-
ern and finish the night. The proposition being
agreed to- each commenced to get over the fence at
the same time, and to their surprise they found on
touching the ground that the fence still separated
them. The same experiment was repeated several
times until of the men fell TO the ground, where
he remained until the other stumbled upon the
right side.-N Y Letter.

A RAILWAY TRAIN OVERLAPPING AND OUTsRIPPING
A THUNDER SToRM.-N. P. Willis writes in the Home
Journal of his late Western experiences:
To overtake thunder shower, whir through it
and outrun it Twas the first of the days exciting
novelties We saw it ahead of us, on the prairie
as you see single black cloud in the sky with
sunshine all around it 1t was moving in the same
direction as ourselves probably at about twenty
miles per hour; and we soon began to overtake It
with our better harnessed thunder and lightning
The conductor pointed the dark mass out 10 me
some ten or fifteen minutes before we entered the
outer skirt of the shower, and we were in peting
ran with lighting and peals of thunder for perhaps
ten Misunderstanding in fair weather on the other
side and leaving the storm to lag behind like the
"slow coach" that it was! But certainly, it was
very queer thus to give thunder and lighting the
go-by! 1t seemed to me- somehow, antclpatory of
another state of things. When we 60 telegraphing
about at the beginning of our spirit travels in the
next life, am sure shall have vague impression
of having done something of that sort 5efore-this
experience of distancIng a well-trained thunder
cloud being laid away in my memory.

r.
BEAurrruL PIcTURE-A fair spring moon was
gliding far up in the azure beauty of the sky taking
cognizance of the earth and its inhabitants in the
ansence of the sun, and sending her silyer-winged
messengers hither and thither curious dainty err
rands Over the white sails far out at sea, the stu
broad praries, the grand old rocks, the wandering
waters those fairy workers strayed, hinng the mist
veil from the valleys or lighting the purple darkness
of the silent wood, and lending wondrous grace
and softness to all they touched. They kissed an
orchard white and pink with blossoms, then with
peary fingers parted the crocus leaves from cham
Der window, and rested reverently on young chids
head. A sweet young child at her mothers knee,
singing her evening hymn, praying her evening pray
er. 1t was as if holy lamp illuminated that ROOM
so peacefully bright the heavenly radiance shone,
revealing the calm mother face, the richest bloom of
which had been born into the face of her child, and
into which had passed, with passing years, spirit
ual serenity that told of mind dwelling in peace
with God and good will toward all his children.
"0ur Father, who art in heaven" came in sweet
ly lisped accents from the infant mouth. Not a
breath of wind stirred the blossoms, and yet
their golden leaves gently showered over those
two, mother and daughter. Was heaven near
that its angels had come crowding about the open
easement?
"Hallowed be Thy name" With thrill nature
breathed the sweet response.
"Thy kingdom come" The blood of martyrs
cried out for it from the ground, and weary of war
ring with ever contendng wrong million SORROW
ing hearts uniting in the pIteous supplication.
Thy will be done on earth as 1t is in heaven"
The words went forth music-winged, and not alone
from infant lips.
"Give US this day our daily bread" Everywhere
hungering and thirsting souls awaited the down.
dropping of the heavenly mamma.
Forgive US our debts we forgive our debtors.
And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us
from evil" Thus the low whispered words ran on,
dropping sweetly from lips scarcely conscious of
evil, while over the earth the voice of the sorely
tempted and down trodden were lifted up heavy
with this supplication: Deliver us from evil
"For thine is the kingdom"
The kingdom Of good, oh, Father responded
the mothers soul, her breast filled with divine
rapture.
"And the power" continued the little one.
"The power to work but thine own right pur
pose" said the mother.
1.-THE glory" said the child.
"And the glory, for thou wilt" whispered the
mothers faith.
1.-The kingdom, the power. and the glory"
The angel chorister rung it over the eternal hills,
and the depths of the jasper sea sent forth their
glad acclaim.
"Amen," concluded the infant pleader.
The mothers kisses pressed down upon the am
Der curls, the red mouth, the rounded cheeks,
and then creeping very close to that golden ladder
whereon the angels ascend and descend, the fair
child slept and dreamed of heaven.

vice as usual. During the sermon he unwittingy

from his seat thrust his hat under his arm, and
giving his neighbor in front push, shouted, "Tick

feet which thoroughly aroused the conductor, who
looking wildly around and seeing all eyes turned
toward him, instantly comprehended his position,

dreaming that any man would be fool enough to
say that the people could prohibit Slavery while the
district was still Territory.

Breckenridge, Of whom he said that since the days

portunity of procuring the services of better,

from Col R. ii. Allen, who resides near Macfarlands
Post Office Lunenburg county, Va. Col. Allen is
well-known citizen of that place, has extensive
acquaintance in this city, and is in every respect
reliable gentleman. He stated in his letter that it
there is an insurrectionary movement among the
negroes of the county. They are supposed to be
led on in their heish designs by abolitionist ennis
saries. The negroes have been heard to say that
they would all be free before Christmas. Several
of the supposed ringleaders in the movement were
to have been arrested yesterday, in-the hope that
the full particulars will be divuged. From all that
could be learned of their plot it is supposed they
had fixed upon the Presidential election day as the
time for carrying into effect they intended revolt

New INTENTIONAL Pittsburg paper speaks of a
invention in regard to the application of COM
pressed air to the propulsion of city railroad cars
The cars be run with more than ordinary speed,
from six to eight miles, with six hundred pounds of
air. 1t can be charged at one terminus, and run
both ways of one of our city railroads. without re-
charging. miniature model is now being used,
and is decided success. 1t is run by the force of
compressed air, to be contained in some fifty tubes,
which are charged from an AIR pump of very great
power. The pipe runs lengthwise upon the top, un-
der the bottom and seats, and between each of the
windows of the cars, and the arrangement for STOP
ping and starting the car is feasible and acile The
miniature, though placed upon a track around a
circle of only thirteen feet in diameter and of
encountering very great friction runs round the
circle number of times with great rapidity, under
a charge of only sixty pounds of air.
