Nc The general feeling which pervades all classes

pea The general feeling which pervades all classes
at Washington is that hostities inevitable at an
early day. The forces concentrated at New York,
something like three thousand in number, have been Or
dered South and shipping provided for them. Of the
different rumors as to their destination it is difficult to
speak yet the shutting and stumbling in regard to
Pickens and Sumter leave ground for the superstition
that they may be intended for either both of these
forts and the activity and watchuness at Charleston
and the concentration of troops at Pickens appear to
add force to this view of the case. 1t would seem as
though the Montgomery authorities have either received
information of the intentions of the Administration at
Washington or OWNED them from knowledge of the
movements of troops, either made ordered. There is
evidently something in the wind There is that pecu-
liar feel in the atmosphere that precedes and might
say indicates storm. There is that sensation that
somehow leaves little doubt that something serious at
hand and whether it be true reported that General
Beauregard yesterday informed Major Anderson that he
must prepare to evacuate be sheled within forty
eight hours there can be no doubt that in Charleston
the speedy commencement of hostites is regarded as
inevitable and all have made up their minds to it
Among the other rumors, is that the troops from
New York. or a part of them are intended for Texas
ana are sent at the request OF General houston VINO
has been deposed from the Governorship another
u.s. that an attempt will be made to land forces near
Charleston and take the batteries in the rear while
armed hotilla attacks them from the harbor. Still
other version is that heavy force is to be concentrated
at Key West and the Tortugas to operate against Pen
sacola and the mouth of the Mississippi.

CURE FOR IN-GRowING NA1Ls.-It is stated by a cor
respondent of the Medical and Surgical Journal that
cauterization with hot taow is an immediate cure for
ingrowng nails He says:
The patient on whom l tried this was young lady
who had been unable to put shoe for several months
and decidedly the worst had seen The dis
had been Of long standing. The edge of the nail
was deeply uDdermined the EXAMINATIONS formed high
ridge partly covered with skn and pus constantly
ing from the root Of the nail the whole Was swollen
and extremely tenie' and painful. My mode of pro-
ceedng was this put very small piece of talow in
spoon, and heated it lamp until it became very
hot dropping two or three drops between the nail and
granulations The effect almost magical. Pain
and tenderness relieved, and in few days
the examinations all gone the diseased parts dry
and destitute OF feeling, and the edge of the nail exposed
so as to admit of being pared without any inconvenience
The complete and the trouble never returned
have tried this plan repeatedly since, with the same
satisfactory results The operation little or no
pain if the tallow is properly heated.

RsS~ If the Raleigh Standard can show wherein a
defence of Southern Rights is incompatible with the
purest principles of Democracy it may then talk about
our having turned renegade to Democracy. The De
mocracy that does not embrace as its cardinal principle
defence OF State Rights and consequently of Southern
State Rights, is spurious, whatever name it may give
itself. The Standard will have to try again. 1t will
not do for any advocate of consolidation to accuse the
friends Of States Rights and Southern Rights of being
renegades to principle.

B9g We fear that our fellow citizens in Raleigh are
becoming slightly obstropolous in the way of semi
occasional fuses there arising out of party matters
Every week or 50 there is something or other: We
know that these things lose nothing by travelling and
they do travel until really people will soon take up the
impression that Raleigh is hardly safe place. On
Wednesday last there was some fuss because flag was
put up on private property Surely the feeble minority
of secessionists cannot be held
the Register is right in saying that these things must
operate against those calling themselves Union men
who have the decided preponGerance in the City We
trust it will not be considered meddesome part
if we deprecate the existing state of things which from
the position of Raleigh the at Of Government as
sumes proportions of Importance beyond its merely local
character.
