The Gold Excitement

In order that our readers may know
something of tho great excitement in Wall
street and how these things are conducted,
we have made the following pretty free ex-
tracts from the money article of the New
York World, the day after the great panic.
THE BATTLE BEGUN.
This attack upon the stocks was but prelimi.
nary to the great struggle that was to take place
in the Gold Room. The bears in stocks left the
stock market aud transformed themselves into
bulls, and soon turned up In the Gold Room, with
all the parsphernalia of bulls, heads erect and
defiant and horns in tho air. No sooner had they
made their appearance there than they COM
menced pitching in, tossing gold up and cutting
up all manner of pranSs, in which they appeared
to take great delight The bulls in stock trans
ferred themselves into bears, and came up to
meet the bulls with great courage and conf
uence. The tossing power of tho bulls was at
nrst 100 much Tor the bears. They could not re-
slst the sharp horns of the bulls-they were too
powerful for them. For few moments the bears
were seen dropping down in all directions, gored
and bleeding, by too close contact with the horns
of the bulls The bears becoming frightened.
almost stopped growing. Gold then commenced
jumping from 143 up. 1t soon was announced at
l4S, then at $50, next moment after at l55 then
at l60, and soon after at 162. Here the struggle
became fierce the bears had recovered from the
first tussle and began to pitch in, selling gold to
the bulls at 100. Brown Brothers made their an.
pearsnee at this moment with one million of gold;
the price jumped down to 1899, but Immediately
on the next quotation went back to 16O, l61, and
l62. Here the struggle became more desperate
than ever. The bears became furious, roareu
and pitched in at fearful rate with great doubts

closing words What democratic" au-
thority denounces the Mississippians rs
scrOng? Our exchange list embraces the
leading Democratic papers, North and
South, and one and all, SO far as we have
observed, endorse the "Dent movement"
as heartily as does the Age. We have be-
fore Us several of the leading Democratic
papers of Mississippi, and oil of them are
ardent in support of Judge Dent and the
National Republican ticket. We trust
that the Stars lick was directed at some
offending party or parties, and not Quix-
otto tilt at the shadow of old preiudices
which should be forgotten.

North Carolina Railroad.

We publish with pleasure the following
letter from President SMITH in reply to
our article of the oath instant Whether
or not we are good authority in all OF
the complications attending the manage
ment of the great Railroad system of the
State" if our comments can always elicit
full, pleasant and candid discussions upon
questions in the management Of our rail-
roads of great public interest, we are salts
fed that the people and the roads will be
benefited. 1t is for this purpose alone
that we have approved or disapproyed
the acts of our railroad officials.
We were honest in our approval of the
general management of President SMITH.
We have had occasion to pass over his
road several times during the past Summer,
and we believe him to be an earnest,
active and attentive officer, and if he has
erred to the disadvantage o. his road in
some particulars, we believe it has been
from u prejudice to Eastern and South
eastern North Carolina, which, for some
reason or other, seems to possess many of
the Radical politicians of the Central part
of the State, from the Governor down to
the Keeper of the Capitol. To this preju-
dice also we attribute the unnecessary but
powerless fling at our city in the following
letter. We can assure President SMITH
sLat while We claim the right, in view OF
our large pecuniary interest in the North
Carolina Railroad, as we'll as our Interest
as citizens of the State, to criticise the
management of that great work and tt
claim that it should not be operated hostile
to our city and section, unless the interests
of the Road and this city come in conflict
lis intimations that they indicate "wani
Of energy and early decay" is as unwar
Eanted as it is unfounded.
In the face of President SMITHS modest
intimation that we ought not to speak oil
war In the presence of Hannibal, We propose
to look at some of the calculations which
he submits and cite facts which he cannot
refute. We have referred to the Tariff oil

ment like this, says the Cincinnati Enq"i-
Yer, which we find ''going the rounds" in
our exchanges. tells all that could e.told
in a volume of the atrocities of Radical
reconstruction Here is fellow whose
thome" is in Wisconsin-his interests
there-his sympathies all with the people
of the Northwest some few months
ago, seized his carpet-bag, migrated to
Florida, and by negro votes and tyrannical
Federal interference, is set to rule State
in the prosperity and welfare of whose
people he has not the remotest interest
And this Governor Reed is only a fair
sample of the thousands of arpet-baggers
who have descended upon the South, like
a swarm of Egyptian locusts, to devour
the substance of the land. The people OF
the South have reason to thank Heaven
that at length the day approaches when
many more of these fellows will be per
mitted to go "home" to Wisconsin and
elsewhere.

Turnado i'm New Hanover.
Rocky POINT, Sept. Goth, 1859

Dear Journal Permit me to say word
concerning tornado which visited the
Western part of Holden township this
evening about o'clock. Although of
short duration it was most fearful and
destructive. It was fully equal to those
of South America. We have every reason
to be thankful that more damage vas not
done and that no lives were lost
The tornado did great damage to crops,
houses, fences and trees. The loss Of tur-
will be seriously felt, the more SO as the
last dipping and the soraplng was still on
the trees. They are blown down in every
conceivable manner. Honscs are to some
extent damaged The store house of MIR.
5. Y. Bunting, on the Rocky Point road,
had the chimney carried away and the
roof lifted up and moved a few feet, but
was not entirely dislodged. His rice crop,
almost ready for harvesting, was greatly
injured. Much stock has been killed hy
the falling of trees.
The tornado WAS about half milo wide,
and ranged from the SOUTHEAST about two
miles and then changed its direction to
North East for considerable distance. /
have not been able to learn the extent Of
the damage done by this tremendous win L
storm, but hope none have suffered much
Among the marrow escapes from death
was the rescue of negro man in the EN-
ploy of Mr.. s. V. Bunting by that gentle,
man. Tho man was standing near tho
store when portion of tho fence was
thrown upon him, and he would have been
crushed to death but for the timely aid
rendered by Mr.. Bunting. have learned
of no lives being lost. 5s*'
