Subscribers desiring their papers changed must mention the Post Office from, as well as the one to, which the desire the chaiijte to be made. t'bere Douglas must be looked Tor fa 1860. To us it is apparent that there is nothing wanting to effect a complete concentration of the Democratic party, and f tlat outside influence which justly belongs to the old line Whig and conservative strength, than a prompt answer to two questions on the part of Judge Douglas: 1. If elected Senator bv the members of the Legislature to be chosen next November, will he thereafter continue to act with the Democratic party? and, 2. Will he abide by and support the nominees of the Democratic par ty to be made at Charleston, in 1860, for President and Vice President of the United Stales? We need not state why it has become necessary that such questions should be propounded, but we rill sa? that there are many men in his own State a sufficient number to control the election who are anxious that they should be answered, and answer ed in the affirmative, so that they may give to him an (.truest and effective support now and hereaf ter. St. l. uis Republican (democratic) The Chicago Timet, the leading Douglas paper in Illinois, commenting on this subject, says : " Without hav ing any direct authority to answer the questions of the Republican, we know that we can safely say that Judge Douglas, whether re elect ed Senator or not, will all the time act within the Democratic organization, and never within any other; and we can further say, that so sure as the Charleston Convention shall be the National Demo cratic Nominating Convention of 1860, so sure will Judge Douglas and the Democracy of Illinois be found supporting its nominees." The fact can neither be denied nor disguised that Judge Douglas set up for himself during the last Congress on the Kansas question ; and differed, as he himself stated and insisted, "fundamentally" with President Buchanan. The declaration by Judge Douglas that no Constitution could be valid, or should be accepted by Congress which had not been submitted to the people for approval or rejection, was new to us ; and we venture to affirm that his speeches for the last five years will be searched in vain for any specific or well-defined opinion of this sort We have always understood that a Constitu tion was valid, whether made by the people in Con vention once, or made twice, that is, once in Con vention and then at the ballot-box; but still we would be the last to object, under proper circum stances, to referring a Constitution to the people for their approval or rejection. But in the case of Kan sas the people had spoken for themselves. They had determined not to vote on their Constitution at the polls, but only as to the slavery clause ; and it was not for Congress to say, after they had thus spoken, that their Constitution had not been proper ly made, and must be made in some other way. Judge Douglas differed on this question with the President and nineteen-twentieths of the Democratic party. This difference, we repeat, he himself de. clared u fundamental." If he has be,en injured by this, he has no one to blame but himself. We re gretted and still regret this difference between the author of the Kansas-Nebraska act and the national Democratic party; and we will go as far as any good Democrat can go to reconcile and settle it But is Judge Douglas really anxious to heal this breach ? TVe learn that he appeared to be so at the close of the last session of Congress; but how does this agree with the fact that from the commencement of his campaign in Illinois up to the present time he has denounced the Lecompton Constitution as a "monstrous fraud," and labored to show that he has been right in this matter and the President and nineteen-twentieths of Congress wrong ? No recon ciliation can be hoped for on a basis of this kind. The national Democratic party will do what it be lieves to be right will maintain its principles and its organization, no matter who may oppose or of fend; and if the result should be the triumph of the common black Republican foe in 1860, the condem nation in this and future ages will fall, not upon it, but upon those who have disturbed its peace and affected to be wiser than it has been in (he interpre tation of its own doctrine. The following article from the last Washing ton Union exhibits a course of conduct on the part of Judge Douglas's friends in the free States which is totally incompatible with the suppo sition that they desire or intend to act in harmony with the national Democratic party. The Union, under the bead "Rule or Ruin, the policy of the Douglas faction" says: "The last political news from California in decis ive on one important question upon which a portion of the democratic party on this side of the continent still affect to entertain some doubt. It throws a flood of light upon the intentions, past and prospec tve, of the disaffected wing of the democratic party ho designate themselves as " Douglas democrats." In the democratic conventions that have been held throughout the northern States on this side of the continent, it may be stated as a general fact, that wherever this faction have failed to securethe nom inations and the control of those bodies, they have bolted the paity, and formed a secret or open coali tion with the opposition. This same policy has been pursued in California, in a manner that proves the movement to have been concerted and settled upon before the adjournment of f!onoTPsa They commenced this movement in Congress last winter, and voted on all questions whether relating w the Kansas issue or not, with the opposition.

The rotes ther eave ; in com- ' binationwitb the coalition throngh the whole 6 t6e last session oi congress on every question and mea sure are well known ; and indicated a foregone de termination to follow up that policy' in the local campaigns of th interior. The coon tbey, thave pursued in ' Califoroia from the , commencement of the primary canvass for the delegates to the Demo cratic State Convention, proves the early adoption of this purpose. , In the primary meetings fn Cali fornia for the appointment of delegates to this con vention, their policy has been this same one of ruK ing or bolting in every part of the State; and, when the convention itself assembled, no sooner was it ascertained by a count of noss that their faction were in a lean minority, than they bolted and organ ized a convention of their own. . - Now this action of the faction in the primary meetings in California could not have been copied from "the example of their confreres oh this side of the continent; and their movements in California and here are conclusive of the fact of pre-concert and an early determination to disorganize the Dem ocratic party wherever it could be done, or to coalesce with the opposition where it could not We shall recur to this subject again at an early aay ; ana we, in the mean time, warn those mem bers of the Democratic party who still fancv that this faction mean well to the party, and ought not yet to be assailed or resisted, of the fatal danger of the ignorance or blindness in regard to the move ments of this faction which afflicts them. We would caution gentlemen at the South, especially. who from the nature of things, cannot be acquainted with all the facts of the subject, that, unless, they are prepared to sustain a class of politicians who are sure to be in open coalition very soon with the most violent agitators of anti-slavery at the North, they had better beware of giving aid, comfort, or countenance, in the form of either apology, extenu ation, or tolerance, to this disorganizing and incen diary movement of "Douglas Democrats." Fatal Accident on the Raleigh and Gaston Railroad. A man named Edmund Ellis, 58 years old, late of Franklin but formerly of Wake, came to his death from an accident on this road, on Fri day last, under the following circumstances : The 4 o'clock p. m. train, after depositing its passengers and mail at the junction with the N. C. Road, was returning, as is usual, to the old depot, with the de ceased and a number of idle boys on board. During th? passage of the train, and when at about half the distance to the depot, one of the boys asked Ellis if he was going to Weldon. He replied no, that he was only going to the depot. The boy re marked that the train would not stop to put him off (a mischievous invention of the boys.) Ellis there upon attempted to get off the train , but was drag ged over the sills for a short distance, when he fell. and several of the wheels passed over one of his legs below the knee, mangling the limb terribly. The deceased survived but a few hours. He has left a wife and three small children in a destitute condition, though their immediate wants have been supplied by the benevolent of this city. The practice of allowing idle boys and children to ride to and fro between the depots should at once be stopped It is matter of surprise that accidents do not more frequently occur trom this prac tice. It is but a few day3 ago that a small boy nar rowly escaped destruction by jumping off a car in motion after his bat, which had fallen or was blown off. The persons in charge of these trains are guil ty of gross negligence in this matter, and require to be reminded of their duty. We published in our last a marriage notice, which turns out to be fictitious; and we give below a Card from Dr. J. S. Leach, in which he denounces the villian who perpetrated the Loax. We regret very much that our columns should have been the medium, though of course unintentional on our part, of a deception so mean and despicable in its charac ter; and we can only add that if the real name of the creature who perpetrated this deception can be ascertained, we will do our part in fixing it on the pillar of public infamy. The manuscript containing this notice was not preserved, and we do not even re member the name which accompanied the fictitious notice. Dr. Leech's Card is as follows : Messrs. Editors : I find in your paper of the 4th mst., a notice of the marriage of Dr. J no. S. Leach, of Johnston county. If the author of that commu nication had afnxed to it his proper signature, he would have spared me the trouble of contradicting the report. For his name, no doubt, is sufficient evidence of his rascality, and by being affixed to that or any other communication would be sufficient evidence of its falsity and forgery. If it be possible to obtain his name, I request you to put it i n your next issue, that the finger of scorn may be pointed at the malicious and contemptible puppy. A man guilty of the above would not blush to perpetrate the darkest crime, provided it could be concealed as his name has been in the present case. I am not aware that he has been convicted of the crime of robbing his neighbor's hen roost, or unbuckling the collar of his neighbor s sheep under the curtain of night ; but from his rascality in the present case, I doubt not but he is a nt subject Tor the pillory if not the halter.

We learn from an esteemed friend that a remarkable revival of reli gion began a fortnight ago, in the Methodist Church in Chapel Hill, and has gradually extended to other Churches. About one hundred souls have profess ed conversion, of whom some sixty are students in the University. Leaving out of view higher consid erations, the philanthropist and statesman must re joice to contemplate the diffusion of true piety and sound morality which must follow a genuine revival of religion at our University.

The London NetM, in ah 'elaborate notice of Mr. Combe, remark a that "the want of knowledge, and the aceticism of the well intentioned parenhv caused the death of several or tbeir children, and radically injured the health of the rest ' ' Such is the testimony of the two brothers, in their reminiscences of the low, damp situation or their father's dwelling at the brewery of Livingston's yards, near Edinburg, and of its crowded andjllaired rooms, and of the dreary Sundays and dismal sectarian instruction, which was all that their parents attempted to give them in per son. No doubt this experience tended to turn the attention of the brothers George and Andrew to the subject of the conditions of health, and to deepen their convictions to the utmost that their nature ad mitted," George Combe was nine years older than his brother Andrew, and was bred to the law : became a writer to the Signet in 1812, and practiced his pro fession in Edinburg. In the year 1815, the doc trines 4f Gall and Spurzheim were brought under j: s - - T.i j : i ' . . .. . uiscusgiuu in Auinourg, ana me attention ot Mr. Combo was directed to be the science of Pbrenolosv. An interview with Spurzheim, who visited Edinburg auotu tue game time, iea air. uomoe to a careful ex amination of the new theory, and from an investiga tion he became a believer and an earnest champion. With his brother .Andrew, he became phrenological ly controversial. Letters were published, in which the brothers described each other's characteristics as denned by the organs developed on their skulls, and in spite of the sneers of the reviews and the re fusal of the encyclopaedists to commit the handling of the subject of Phrenology to the believers in the new science, the public faith grew, mainly through the efforts of George Combe, who saw in it a new solution of the problem of the structure and func tions of the brain. In 1825, the "Society for the Diffusion of Useful Knowledge " was instituted, for the purpose of supplying good and cheap books to the working classes; but unfortunate circumstances caused a delay in the issue of its publications, and it was only in 1827 that its first tract was printed. Six weeks before its appearance. Georee Combe read before the Phrenological Society of Edinburg the first part of a work, to w hich he gave the title of l M Harmony oeiween trie Mental and Moral Con ititution of Man and the Laws of Physical Natun, This was the germ of his celebrated work, entitled. The Constitution of Man in Relation to External Object. The Society for the diffusion of useful knowledge having refused to publUh among their cheap series any work on Phrenology, Mr. Combe set himself in earnest to follow up the undertaking ne had already begun. Among the works on that subject, which followed each other rapidly from his pen, were the JLlemenu, Outlines and System, of Jfnrenology, a volume on Motal Philosophy and Lec turet on j'opuiar Jiaucation. In 1833, he married Miss Cecilia Siddonx, and four or five years later gave up the practice of bis profession. In 1838, he visited the United States, and remained here for two years, lecturing on Phrenology, and preparing a journal of his tour, which was afterwards published under the title ol Mote. His reception in this country was coid al in the extreme. Spurzheim had died here a few years before Mr. Combe s arrival. and the believers in Phrenology looked to the latter gentleman as the legitimate successor to the honors paid to the lamented leader. The Constitution of Man, firs? published in 1828, was reprinted here, and reached an enormous sale. It is by this work that Mr. Combe is chiefly known. Its circulation in Great Britain soon ran up to 100,000 copies, and it has been translated into several languages. After his visit to the United States, Mr. Combe passed some years in travel on the continent The latter years of his life were a period of infirm health, in capacitating hiui for active efforts. Sampson County. We learn that the Sampson County Agricultural Society have resolved to hold a Festival at their Fair Grounds in Clinton, on the first Saturday in September. As the regular time of holding the Fair is too late to exhibit many choice Flowers, r runs and Vegetables, it is deemed advis able to hold this Festival earlier in the year. A cor respondent says, at this gathering the members and their families only attend, together with such guests as may receive special invitation. No premiums are awarded, and every thing exhibited is laid on the picnic table to be consumed by the company present. The members dispose of the business of the society. while their wives and daughters contribute and spread out the good things to be eaten. We think a festival of this kind held each May and September would give new life to the society. It would not only be an occasion of much social enjoyment, but would afford an opportunity of exhibiting early veg etables and Summer and Autumn fruits, that can never be exhibited at the regular fairs. Would no all the county societies do well to adopt this course? J hey would thus more thoroughly become acquaint ed with each other and with each other's produc- . mi f a as lions, ine Knowieoge oi nne vegetables ana nne fruits would certainly become more extensive. It is expected that every member will be present and contribute at least a basket of fruit or a bunch of flowers. We commend the idea to all the County Societies, and also the State Agricultural Society. During the months of August and September, many articles of the Floral, Pomological, and Vegetable kingdoms might be presented, which cannot be preserved till the usual time of holding the rairs in October, Ho- ' vember. and December, and thus not only greater competition be secured, but something like a fair exhibition of our county and state products in these things be ettected. in our view, such meet ings in June and September would be found the most interesting of any that could be held.. We hope to see the idea carried out by other Societies. JS. CV Planter. Later from Europe Arrival of the Fulton. Nxw York, Sept. 5th. The steamship Fulton ar rived off Cape Race to day.

Never use tin, iron or pewter spoons or skim mer for preserves, as they will convert the color of red fruit into a dingy purple, and impart, besides, a very unpleasent flavor. r . j sf . I 1 8. When' cheap jams or jellies are required, make them at once with loaf sugar, but use that whioh is well retaned always for preserves in general. It is a false economy to purchase an inferior kind, as there is great waste from it in the quantity of scum which it throws up. " . " ... ' 9. Pans of copper or bell-metal are the proper utensils for preserving fruit When nsed, tbey must be scoured bright with sand. Tinned pans turn and destroy the color of the fruit that is put in to them. A stewpan made of iron, coated, with earthenware, is very nice for preserving. . Hints Arout Makinu Preserves. It is not gen erally known that boiling fruit a long time, and skimming it well, without the sugar, and without a cover to the preserving-pan, ia a very economical and excellent way economical, because the bulk of the scum rises from the fruit, and not from the su gar, if the latter is good ; and boiling it . without a cover, allows the evaporation of all the watery par ticles therefrom ; the preserves keep firm and null flavored, the proportions are, three-quarters of a pound of Sugar to a pound of fruit. Jam made in this way, of currants, strawberries, raspberries or gooseberries, is excellent To Preserve Frcits W ithoct Scoar or Vinegar. At a meeting of the Horticultural Society, Mr. Love- joy, butler to J. 1 borne, ii,sq., or Maw bey House, South Lambeth, obtained a medal for preserving damsons, greengage plums, gooseberries, rhubarb. cherries, black and red currants, raspberries, and mulberries all without sugar or vinegar. The specimens exhibited were as plump and transparent as when brst gathered. They were preserved as fol lows : Pick the fruit from the stalks ; put them into the bottles. Put one drachm of alum into four gal lons of boiling water; let it stand till it is cold ; then till the bottles with this liquor, bung them tight; put them into a copper of cold water and heat to 176 degrees ; and then tie them over with bladder and seal them.
