We shall be greatly obliged to our friends in every portion of the State, if they will send us the returns at the earliest possible moment, - Cumberland and Harnett. An esteemed friend, writing us from Fayetteville, says : " You may rely on Cumberland and Harnett rolling up their usual Democratic majority." That is all their Democratic friends elsewhere ask of them. 'Let other Counties " go and do likewise." The people of Cumberland and Harnett have not forgotten that Gov. Ellis was the warm friend of their Road when they needed friends. As for Mr. Pool he voted for " the River," but he gave " the Road " the cold shoulder. Wilmington Herald. Mr. Burr has retired from this journal, and Alfred M. Waddell, Esq., has taken charge of it as Editor and Proprietor. Mr. Waddell wields a graceful and pointed pen. We wish Mr. Burr prosperity in his retirmcnt from the uneasy life of Editor ; and to Mr. Waddell we tender our congratulations on the occasion of his mounting the tripod. State Stocks. Sales of stocks in New York on the 20th, as follows: Tennessee six per cents, 90; Virginia six per cents, 91J; Missouri six per cents, 82J; North-Carolina six per cents, 97. That will do for North-Carolina. How New York Will Go. The Albany Argus and Atlas, in a late issue, under the head of "New York for Douglas," says : "We believe the electoral vote of this State will be cast for Stephen A. Douglas. All the signs of the times indicate such a result There never was any doubt in regard to the preference of the Demo cratic masses of the State for the Illinois Senator; nor was it at any time doubted that New York could be carried for him in tho Presidential contest - This was the calculation of Democrats even with the strong name of Win. H. Seward in the field against them. The withdrawal of that name has subtracted from the Republican strength many tens of thou sands. ' i . : ' - Our friends in New York City, and along the riv er, promise to send up the electoral ticket to Albany with fifty thousand majority ; and this without counting Albany, Rensselaer and the interior coun ties, many of which will roll up large majorities for the Little Giant' - . We have not rushed precipitately to this conclu sion of a Democratic victory in this State. We have not assumed it rashly. We start with a Democratic majority, as shown in the last election. We' can count accessions to the"party by tens of thousands. We meet an enemy demoralized by change of lead ers, and by inherent division and distrust" . E. G Haywood, Esq. ' The Oppositionists and Know-Nothings of Wake,, in their anxiety to defeat the "election xf Mr. Hay wood, have issued in pamphlet form a copy of a bill introduced by him in the House of Commons at the last Session, the object of which was to make provi sion to meet a portion of the State debt about to fall due, but which, they would have the public, and es pecially the voters of Wake County believe was in tended to raise the tax on white polls fifty cents. The bill shows that Mr. Haywood was then in fuvor of providing for the payment of the State debt, by raising from white polls, and from black polls alto a sufficient revenue for that purpose; the revenue thus to be raised to go into the Sinking Fund, and to be solemnly pledged to pay off the bonds he pro posed to issue as they should become due. To make the matter more clear we will state it succinctly, as follows : The State owed nearly if not quite a mil lion of dollars, on account mainly of endorsements for the Raleigh and Gaston Road. The money was not in hand to pay this debt, and no part of the in come from the usual revenue law could be spared to pay it What then 1 Mr. Haywood saw that the means to meet the debt must !. raised or the State must repudiate. He accordingly introduced his bill, providing for the issuing of bonds to pay the debt. But he foresaw that without some fund pledged to meet this debt when due, the bonds would neeessa rily have to be sold below par. Hence the proposi tion to impose a special tax with this view. Land was not included in the bill, because land was al ready taxed considerably higher than slave proper ty ; and it was not possible to raise the tax on black polls without at the same time raising the tax on white (tolls. Such, in a few words, was the sub stance of Mr. Haywood's bill and such its object The object which he had in view was conunenda ble and patriotic. That object was to provide in such a way for meeting the debt that the bonds of the State, when put in market, should not go below par; but, as a part of the means in making this provision, it was not, we presume, Mr. Haywood's intention to adroit th.it slaves were not taxed suffi ciently high compared with other property, as might be supposed from a mere glance at the measure. He no doubt felt and foresaw that, under the pres sure of a heavy State debt, if the slaveholders did not yield something more than they were already paying, a demand would be made, similar to the one now upon us, to change the Constitution and place the slave as a subject of taxation at the discretion of the Legislature. The sequel has shown that Mr. Hay wood's sagacity, both in respect of the propose! in crease of taxation on slaves and the sale of State lxnds without such a Sinking Fund as was proposed by him to sustain them, has been fully and strikingly vindi cated. The bonds, which must be sold for cash, to pay an old debt, have gone in many instances con siderably below par : under the provisions of a bill like that of Mr. Haywood, they would certainly have gone at par, and must probably have brought a premium. We repeat, then, his object was com mendable and patriotic. If he had retained his seat in the Legislature he would no doubt have intro duced other bills on tho same general subject of revenue and finance, and would have taken occasion to explain to the Legislature and to his constituents the measure under consideration. But what is the object of the Oppositionists in this business ? Mr. Haywood proposed to increase the tax on slaves as well as white polls ; and yet they, who arc now rousing and exciting the people by a proposition to tax (ill slaves, denounce him for it ! That which is right in them is wrong in him. They these very Oppositionists contracted at least one half the debt for which both the white and black polls are now taxed eighty cents; and yet they are trying to make capital against Mr. Haywood by pro ducing the impression that he was for taxing the white polls alone to pay the debt 1 Bear in mind, voters of Wake County, that it is not true that Mr. Haywood is in favor of raising the poll tax. The object of his bill has been accom plished in another way ; and he is novo opposed to increasing the white poll tax one cent. We state what we know. Be not deceived by the false charges of the Opposition. It is also reported that Mr. Haywood has not re signed the office of Clerk and Master. This report is untrue. Mr. Haywood resigned that office before the canvass commenced. It is apparent that the Opposition are making a desperate effort to defeat Mr. Haywood. We appeal to the Democrats of the County to make his cause their own. Let them see to it that the numerous false charges against him are promptly met and thoroughly exposed; and let them, while doing their full duty by others on the day of election, be sure to exert themselves for that candidate on the ticket who is thus unscrupulously assailed. A Valuable Plow. We examined recently, in this City, a plow de signed and patented by J. II. Gooch, Esq., of the county of Granville, which appears to be admirably adapted to the various purposes it is intended to an. swer. It is a combination plow. ' By an arrange ment of its various parts it forms a cultivator, a sub soil and part turning plow, a half mold-board and a complete turning plow ; altfo, a cotton scraper and cotton sweep plow. Mr. Gooch, whose judgment in such matters is excellent, claims that this plow can be made a substitute for several separate plows; and that it will answer every purpose in the culti vation of wheat, oats, corn, cotton, and tobacco. It 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 $4 each ; and with the scraper and sweep at $5. This plow has been tried by many of tho leading farmers of Granville, who have given Mr. Gooch the following certificate : " We the undersigned take pleasure in certifying that we have been using Mr. J. H. Gooch's Cultiva tor Plows 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. Gen. Lane. Gen. Lane, of Oregon, reached this City on Sun day evening last, taking his friends by surprise, as he was not expected until Monday evening.' He thus came a day in advance to avoid display or pa rade. ' ' ' The General has lodgings at the Yarbrough House, where many of our citizens have called to pay their respects, to him. He will remain here several days longer, after which we learn . he con templates a visit to Chapel Bill to see Gov. Swain, and then a visit to his native county, Buncombe. A Great Blessing. We were visited on Sunday night last with a fine rain, which was greatly need ed. The corn crop especially was languishing, and in some localities had been nearly destroyed by the, drouth. From the appearance and direction of the clouds the rain was no doubt general ; Wake Conntr. . We come forward to remind the organized Demo cracy of. Wake of the importance of standing by their ticket, and of exerting themselves as in form er days to ensue its success. Messrs. Thompson, Haywood, Mordecai, and Cox sre all good Demo-' crate, and have been fairly and regularly nominat ed ; but on account of an unfortunate division in our ranks, the Opposition are counting with some confidence on achieving a victory in th's old Gibral tar of Democracy. George W. Thompson, Esq., the regular nominee for the Senate, is too well known to the people of Wake County to need any notice or commendation at our hands. He has served the County long and faithfully in various capacities. He has enjoyed under all circumstances the confidence of his party, and the respect of his opponents. His whole ca reer as a public man repels the idea that he is on ambitious place-seeker. The party has called him to his present position, and it is the duty of tho party to sustain him in it Be on the ground early in the diy, brother Demo crats, and tote and work for Thompson. The con test will be a close one; and it is, therefore, the inoro incumbent on all of us to perform our duties as friends of regular organization with renewed ac tivity and zeal. Mr. Haywood is freely giving his time and his noblo energies to the cause. He has recently visit ed distant portions of the State to speak for your principles, brother Democrats, and to aid in the great general work of carrying the State. He has re signed a lucrative office to serve you on the stump and in the Legislature, lie is one of the most gift ed and promising young men in the State. Wake County, without distinction of party, should be proud of his genius and talents. Cherish him, brother Democrats. Elect him. You can, if you will. The Opposition arc boasting that Haywood shall be beaten. Will you allow that, with your former proud majorities 1 We do not believe you will. Mr. Mordecai, who is also on the Commons ticket, is a sound Democrat, a clever man, and in every respect worthy of your suffrages. Of Mr. Cox, the othir candidate for the Commons, tho same may truly be said. The charge that he has but recently settled among us, has no weight lie is a native of the State, and, as a proof of his devotion to North Carolina, he returned to the State and settled per manently in it soon after he reached man's estate. We is a Democrat of the "Old Hickory" school, having imbibed his lessons from the pure fountain of the Hermitage. The interests of the people of the County will be entirely safe, and will be well attended to in the hands of such men as Thompson, Haywood, Mordecai, and Cox. Be on the ground early, brother Democrats, and rote the whole ticket. Do not forget Gov. Ellis and Sheriff High. You gave the former, two years ago, more than eight hundred majority. Let us labor to keep the figures just where they arc, and all will be well. The Opposition are claiming large gains for Pool in Wake County. Let us disappoint them. Let v see to it that (ior. Ellis receives eijhteen hundred rotes in the County. That would give him between five and six hundred majority; and with such a majority here, where the Opposition are ma king their greatest efforts, he will lead Mr. Pool in the State by from tight to ten thousand majority. Sheriff High, it is true, has no opposition, but that constitutes no reason why his friends should not give him a good vote. He has been too unwell, until within a day or two past, to make his usual ridings with the candidates. A faithful, honest, and competent officer, and a "Captain" besides, let us make him feel proud in " regimentals " and out of " regimentals," by the largest vote he ever received in the County. Johnston County. The communication of " A Hearer" from John" ston's District, giving an account of the speaking at Pleasant Grove Academy, came to hand too late for our last Weekly paper. Pressed as we are for space, our correspondent will no doubt excuse us for giv 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 ab sence of these gentleman, speeches were made by W. H. Lambert, Esq., Dr. J. T. Leach, Linn B. Sanders, Esq., and B. II. Tomlinson, 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 on the oc casion. Mr. Lambert replied to Dr. Leach. Our correspondent says the Doctor's speech was " not 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 Mitchiner, 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 Tomlinson. He says : "You may look for J. W. B. Watson in the Sen ate, and William II. Watson and James Mitchiner in the House of Commons of the next Legislature. I hear old men 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 ef forts in making 6ure 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 a fine im pression wherever he goes ; while J. W. B. Watson, also in the field for the first time, displays superior talents as a 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 her Invincible Democracy I Gates County. The canvass for the House of I Commons was opened in Gates county on Saturday, V . . w , " - . -VT IT t. autn June, in a aiscussion ai iew nope oeiween Riddick Gattling, Jr., Esq., the Democratic candi date, and Dr. O. B. Savage, on behalf of the Oppo sition. The debate was animated, but conducted in exceedingly good temper; and the efforts of both gentlemen were spoken of as very creditable. Mur freesborough Citizen. Practical Celebration or th Fourth. The poeple of Oak Hill, 111., celebrated the " Fourth" by turning out in the morning armed . with axes, hoes and spades.' The exercises were opened with prayer, the Declaration of Independence read, and a short oration -delivered, when the remainder of the day. was spent in working on tht toad. . -".

Orange 'County. An old and valued friend in Orange county, who belongs to the Jackson school of .Democrats, writes -us in most encouraging terns -.He) says: ; '. .."V"- ' I am as much pleased as ever with your course. I approve ofit at Charleston and Baltimore, as truly national. Go on your course will be approved at last by all fair-minded men who act upon the sober second thought'! If we thought it necessary or proper we might fill several columns of our paper with extracts from letters received since our return from Baltimore, in -which the writers are pleased to approve our course in the warmest terms. Our venerable Orange county friend also informs us that the Democratic prospects are good in that county. Gov. Ellis will fully maintain his vote of two years since, notwithstanding the boastings of the Op position. Dr. Pride Jones, the Democratic candidate for the Senate, is very popular, and our friend "thinks from all accounts will be elected." Mr. Strowd, one of the Democratic candidates for the Commons, is un fortunately confined by sickness ; but Capt Lyon is on the track, making the fur fly from that "same old coon " in tho shape of " Sam." We entertain no doubt of Capt Lyon's election. R. M. Jones, Esq., the present excellent Sheriff, will be re-elect-, ed by a handsome majority. He is a worthy man, and one of the best officers tho county has ever had. We appeal to our Democratic friends in Orange to leave no honorable means untried to carry their whole ticket Mr. Turner's tactics and mode of electioneering are, we know, peculiar, and not such as should be generally imitated ; but if you must "fight the devil," "fight him with fire," say we. Let linn be met in his own way; and especially on the day of election let the Democrats exert them selves. A few votes may save the ticket, and these few votes may be secured on election day. We appeal to them also, in the excitement which exists in relation to the legislative and sheriff's elec tions, not to forget to exert theinselces for Gov. Ellis. He has made a good Governor, and we can see no reason why he should be turned out The people of Orange have tried him, and therefore know him ; but they have not tried, nor do they know Mr. Pool. The ad valorem Democrats will gain nothing by voting for Mr. Pool. We do not believe he is in earnest in advocating the measure, for he voted against it at the last session of the Legislature in every shapo in which it was presented. He never professed to be for it until he was nominated for Governor. Before he thought ad valorem would be popular he voted against it, thus showing his real sentiments on the subject ; but now, when he thinks it is popular, and will aid in making him Governor, he is for it Such politicians arc not to be trusted. Forsyth County. The last Sentinel gives an 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 re-election. Col. AVaugh has no open or direct op posion. Dr. AVithers, a talking man, having met him twice on the stump, has thought better of it and retired ; and now Col. Covington, of Stokes, is announced as 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 are 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 ill health. Dr. Kcrner and Gen. Poindexter are the K. N. candi dates for the Commons. From the account given in the Sentinel, it is evident that Mr. Masten is too much for Gen. Poindexter in debate. The Sentinel pays the following deserved compli ments to Messrs. Masten and Barrow : "There seems to be special animosity in the mind of certain political tricksters in this county, to vil lify, to traduce and defeat John Mastcn's election. Why this animosity towards that gentleman? To any unprejudiced mind who has attended the dis cussions since the opening of the canvass, this ques tion has a fair solution. Mr. Masten is a rising man. With a shrewdness and adroitness, unex pected by even his most intimate friends, he is ac tually assailing and literally using up the champion of the Opposition. It is mortifying to them, liter ally excruciating and wounding to their pride to see a man of the field, armed, however, with the pano ply of truth and right principles!" engaging the Go liah of their host, and driving him from the field, second best on every occasion. Democrats of Forsyth county, such a 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 a representative, faithful, watchful, and true. You may go to the polls and deposit your votes for him, feeling assured that he will never be tray the trust you repose in him or sleep while your interests arc at stake. " No man ever possessed a more amiable charac ter a more noblo or generous heart than Philip Barrow. A friend of the people ; devoted to tho cause of morality, industry and virtue; a christian by practice; a patriot without pretension; as ready to obey the calls of humanity, to contribute to the wants of the poor, as to accept honors at the hands of his fellow-citizens. The people of Forsyth coun ty, Whigs and Democrats, love the man. We havo known him long and well, he is worthy of every confidence. His election, by an overwhelming ma jority, is as sure as the coming of the second day o. August next."

Mr. Holden: The campaign, in Granville 'com menced on last Monday, consequently it has been progressing only one week. , I am glad to have it in my power from what I can learn-and I have it from the people themselves to inform our brethren throughout the State that the Granville Democracy is united and harmonious, and confident of a glorious victory on the 1st Thursday in August next - - We feared before the campaign commenced that' the Oppositionists 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 forturatcly Mr. W. H. P. Jenkins was placed on our ticket, who possesses such a logical mind and powers of eloquence as to keep those two gentlemen within their propersphere. He electrifies every audience before whom he ap pears. I have never witnessed the amount of en thusiasm which bis speeches produce, especially when his youth and inexperience are considered. Mr. S. II. Cannady is also in his first campaign, and is making argumentative and telling speeches. J. M. Bullock and C. II. K. Taylor, Esquires, are also doing good work in the cause, Granville will do her whole duty in the present contest. She will send to tho Legislature a full ttnW-ad valorem dele gation, and give John W. Ellis for Governor an in creased majority. A (jTIZEN. A SUMMARY OF JOHN POOL'S RECORD! Keep it before the people. In the last Legulatvre. John Pool voted against a direct preposition 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 did not rote at all on the amendment to the Revenue Bill, whereby it was proposed to reduce the tax on land from 20 to 15 cents on the $100 yes. Remember that John Pool refused to vote to re duce the tax on land and he was afraid to vote against it so he dodged. John Pool voted 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 a new bill on the ad valorem principle direct ly vo'.ing against ad valorem in all its features. John Pool voted against Mr. Gorrell's amendment which proposed to call a free and open convention to alter the Constitution of the State. This is a brief synopsis of John Pool's 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 rere 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 election. Goldsloro Rough Notes. The rush of travel from the South continues, hastened no doubt by tho intensely hot weather which prevailed all through the South last week. The Savannah Republican says the number passing through that city North wr.rd, is greater than at any previous period. The side-wheel steamers are ta ken up, in great part, weeks ahead. Distressing Disaster .on James River! Norfolk, July 20. 1. P. M. The steamship Pennsylvania, Capt Teal, of the Philadcphia and Virginia Line, was burnt last night in James River, near Jamestr.wn, about CO miles below City Point, and where the river is some three miles wide. The Pennsylvania left Norfolk about four o'clock, P. M., for City Point and Richmond, having a 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, or 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 Gi fiord, which left Richmond yesterday afternoon at 5 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 tho work, and suc ceeded in saving all on the rafts, as well as those remaining on the ship. The Curtis Peck, with the surviving passengers arrived here this morning. The cargo will prove a total loss, and as much of it was very valuable, tho loss will be heavy. The fire is supposed to have been caused by spontaneous combustion. Great tfforts were made by Capt Teal and crew to extinguish the flames and save the passengers. The surviving passengers of the ill-fated ship, will leave here this afternoon on the Norfolk and Petersburg Railroad for Richmond. Movements of Senator Douglas. AVohcesteh, July 17. Judge Douglas arrived here this afternoon, a few minutes past 3 o'clock, and was greeted by an immense crowd of people. A salute was fired from the open space opposite the depot, under the direction of Adjudant Studley. A temporary platform was erected within a few feet of the cars, from. which Judgo Douglas was intro duced to the multitude by Hon. Isaac Davis, who, with a few other friends, met him at the junc tion depot and accompanied him to the depot at AArashington Square. Judge Douglas spoke about eight minutes. Tho wildest enthusiasm prevailed as the train left the depot. The crowd followed some distance, unwilling " to give it up so," cheer ing and swinging their hats. niS ARRIVAL AND RECEPTION IN BOSTON. Boston, July 17. Mr. Douglas arrived here in the 5 P. M. train from New Haven. He was met on the way by a committee of his friends, and re ceived at the depot by a large crowd, who enthusi astically cheered him.
