Wilder aud Littlejohn. The Register of Wednesday last makes the following notice of the discussion in this place between Messrs. Wilder and Littkjohn It is sufficient, for the present, to say. Ihat Mr. Little-jolin sustained himself with marked ability making one of tlie linest ofl'orls that the campaign has elicited, and entirely demolishing his windy opponent, whose peculiarity it is to mistake sound for sense and bald assertion forargu-niiiit." We are not surprised at this nor, indeed, would we he surprised at any romance or misrepresentation which might appear in the Raleigh Register.

That paper, however, seems to cherish a peculiar antipathy towards Maj Wilder. It dislikes him because of his deserved popularity, and his powers as a public speaker and it has studiously, for years, treated him with gross unfairness and injustice. Stil! Maj. Wilder's friends do not complain of this, nor ito they ask the Register to change its course in this respect. Censure, and attempts at depreciation from some quarters, are much to be preferred to praise.

Now, wc hesitate not to say that no gentleman of either party, who heard the discussion between Maj. Wilder and Mr. Littlejohn, will endorse the above account of it given by the Register. Certainly, Mr. Littlejohn acquitted himself not with "marled ability but he did handle his points ingeniously and he delivered, what his most attached personal friends would call a passable, respectable speech.

He was listened to with patience and attention, by an audience, the greater portion of whom were Buchanan men and yet, though there were many Know Nothings present, he received no applause either at the commencement, or during, or at the close" of his remarks. Either he spoke very indifferently anvl presented his points very badly, or there was no life in his party friends who were present. The latter is true. Sam appeared to be deceased and laid out, and Mr. Littlejohn was preaching his funeral.

When Maj. Wilder rose to reply he was greeted with long and loud applause, which was kept up, at intervals, until he closed. We never heard a more successful, or a more triumphant reply. The Register has not added to Mr. Littlejohn's reputation as a public speaker, by the above notice.

We saw, in that paper, a few days since, an account of the discussion in Nash between these gentlemen a great flourish about the star-spangled banner," We learn that even this incident of the banner, so carefully gotten up by Mr. Littlejohn's friends, was used with overwhelming effect by Maj. Wilder, against Know Nothingism and "Mexican Whiggery;" and that Mr. Littlejohn lost there, as at every other stage of the discussion. As to the effect produced by Mr.

Littlejohn in Nash, we lave that to be determined by the votes on the 4lh of November. The "true Fire of the Flint." A few days siuce, Mr. Pizzini, Confectioner and merchant of this City, received a box of goods from the house of W. M. Tiers of New York and on opening it, he found, neatly bundled up, a p.irc.l of Fremont and Dayton.

Jlags. Mr. Pizzini had not ordered any such articles, nor did he know, until lie saw these Hags, that he was dealing with a black Republican house. The flags" were promptly Sent hack by Express, with the following letter: IUlkigu, Sept. 29, 1856.

We would advise the Democrats in every County to supply themselves with Electoral Tickets in ample lime for the election. We will send them to any part of the State, (Iree of postage,) for seventy-five O-'its per hundred, three dollars for five hundred, or live dollars per thousand. is important that every precinct in the State khould be supplied, as the vote will not be counted unless the ten Electors are voted for. li?"

ery lertile, and must well repay an investment in Prof." Hedrick, of the University. As a matter of justice to Prof. Hedrick, we publish to-day wliat he styles his "Defence" against the charge of being a black There is not a point made or presented in this Defence which could not be triumphantly met and exposed; but surely it cannot be expected of us, or of our correspondent, "An Alumnus," or of any citizen of this State, to argue with a black Republican. The Professor closes his "Defence" with the opinion that those who prefer to denounce him, "should at least support their charges by their name." The author of An Alumnus is a gentleman of high character, and -entirely responsible for whatever he has said, or may say. He is a resident of this place, and his name can be known, if at all necessary.

We adhere to our opinion, recently expressed in the Standard The expression of black Republican pinsons in our midst is incompatible with our honor and safety as a people. That man is neither a fit nor a safe instructor of our young men, who even inclines to Fremont and black Republicanism. This is a matter, however, for the Trustees of the University. We take it for granted that Prof. Hedrick will be promptly removed.

Fusion in Pennsylvania. Read the following from the Pennsylvanian, and see how the friends of Fillmore are playing into the hands of the black Republicans in Pennsylvania: "Fpsios Fremont Statb Ticket. Not only are the professed friends of Millard Fillmore urged bv (he presses which have his name as a candidate at the Dead of their columns, to vote for the Fremont Fusion State Ticket in October, but also to vote for the Fremont Union condidates for Congress aud the Legislature. The object in this is to endeavor to send aid to Giddings and Burlingame in the House of Representatives, and to elect David Wilmot United States Senator. And yet, with all this aid to the Fremont ticket, these papers pretend to bo the friends of Mr.

Millard Fillmore! The union of the Native Americans and Black Republicans, on the Fremont State Ticket, is only a part of the unprincipled affiliation that has been brought about between the antagonist factions. They have formed union tickets for Congress and the Legislature; by carrying the latter, David Wilmot is to be elected to the" United States Senate from Pennsylvania. Are honest and true men willing to assist in consummating this iniquitous bargain? We will not believe it." The Charleston Mercury comes to ns in mourning for the death of one of its editors, Wm. R. Taber, who fell in a duel with Edward Ma-grath, on Monday afternoon last.

The difficulty originated from the publication of communications in the Mercury, in reference to the Hon. A. G. Ma-grath, a candidate for Congress from the Charleston District. The name of the author of the communications was not demanded, but a peremptory challenge was sent and accepted, and, at the third fire, Mr.

Taber fell, the ball taking effect in his head. The weapons were pistols, and the distance ten paces. The surviving editor of the Mercury thus speaks of his late associate "In the presence of death, the death of one who has been intimately associated with us for years, and who breathed as true a heart as ever beat on the soil of Carolina, we bow our heads in sorrow and in suffering, and pass by all considerations of party conflict, in the sense that we have lost a friend, true and tried, and a brother in the hard duties that make up our connection with the public life. It will not be easy to find a braver and more self-sacrificing spirit it will not be often that the community wiil be called upon to mourn over the extinction of a more biilliant and generous intellect." pjjT Mr. T.

S. Garnett has resigned his place as Engineer and Superintendent of the North-Carolina Railroad, having been appointed Chief Engineer of the Pensacola and Georgia Railroad. In his letter of resignation, addressed to Mr. President Fisher, he saj'S From the experience of the past six months, and the constant increase of business on the Road, I feel confident in expressing the opinion that your Company will be able to pay a dividend of six per cent, for the fiscal year 1857-8." Mr. Fisher states in his reply that he parts with Mr.

Garnett with regret; and he pays a high compliment to his profes-" sional ability and fidelity. The Silver Goblet presented by Capt W. H. Harrison to his Company, the Oak-City Guards, is on view at the jewelry store of Mr. Chas.

II. Thompson. It is a beautiful and massive piece of workmanship, and evinces at once the good taste of Mr. Thompson, and the liberality of the gallant Captain and bis high appreciation of his Corps. This goblet will be contended for at target practice to-day (Friday) and will be presented to the successful marksman by H.

S. Smith, Esq. The winner will make a decided hit. New Style of Pictures. By an advertisement in another column it will be seen that Mr.

Copeland has removed to the rooms over the Post Office, where he is prepared to execute all orders in his line. We have seen specimens of his "Color Type" pictures, as he calls them, and they are beautiful. AVe believe this style is his own invention, or discover'. It is a Daguerrootype painted in oil, and it is permanent and lifelike. Mr.

Copeland is a native artist, and deserves success, which his talents will surely win. The Charlotte Whig thus notices the Cards of Messrs. Osborne and Williamson, published in our last: "Messrs. Osborne axd Williamsox These gentlemen have thought proper come out in Cards to the public, stating that they intend voting for Mr. Buchanan.

It was our intention to notice their Cards, but we have concluded not to do so, believing that their defection cannot jnjure our party. They believe the occasion requires them to vote the Democratic ticket, we thing differently, and there we separate. All we ask our friends to do, who have stood firm thus far, is to wait a few weeks lomjer, and if suck demonstration are not manifested, as will satisfy them that the position of these two gentleman are untenable, then we will admit we are wromj." We are in a fair way, it seems, to have the aid of the Charlotte Whig also for Mr. Buchanan. The Weather.

Weather still quite cool, and frost here on Wednesday night. The pea crop is large, and was said to be very promising, but it must have been injured by the frosts. If entirely cut off, the loss wi'l be serious to both man and beast," It will raise the price of corn from twenty-five to fifty cents per bushel. New York. State Fair.

Watertown, Sept 30. The entries at the State Fair to-day were much larger than those of last year. The display of horses, cattle, sheep and swine is of the most superb description. The display of engines and machinery of all kinds is very fine. Three printing and lithograph presses are in operation.

The Northern Democratic journals are largely engaged in the important and useful work of demonstrating, by facts and figures, io the people of the free Stales the ruin that would come upon them in the event of Fremont's election, and consequent dissolution of the All the Northern Democratic journals that we or from which we see extracts in other papers, distinctly declare that the Southern people will not and ought not to submit to the rule and to the measures of the black Republicans. The Troy (N. Budget says: The disunion of these States is the platform up-on which John C.

Fremont has taken his stand. Ho can no more move off nor come down than the Alle-ghanics can move off or come down. He is fastened there, like an island filled with disease, in the midst of the boiling waves of fanaticism. What a "bad eminence is his Look where he stands. He fears he and his echoes and organs to look upon the past.

The sacred memories of the revolution ring like curses in his ears. he will not face them. The names of Washington, Jefferson, Monroe, Madison, Rutledge, Pinckney, Ferguson, Jackson come to him as if he had been guilty of an attempt to murder them as, indeed, he is guilty of trying to murder the.r reputation. He looks to the future only. He looks forward to a divided brotherhood of States; to a scattered family of freemen to a defiled national hearthstone; to a broken covenant; to a mutilated constitution to a dissolved Union and, finally, once again, to euipioy the words of jChoate, to an unconstcrated aad revolutionary banner, from which fifteen stars have been erased or hate fallen!" Disunion has no past!" We copy the following eloquent and impressive article from the Providence (R.

Post "The Union is Straining her Fastenings!" Such is the language of the old line Whigs of Baltimore, in an address to the people The Union is straining her fastenings, and calls upon all patriotic citizens to come to her rescue." Truer words, it is our honest belief, were never spoken. The Union is straining her fastenings. The storm of fanaticism, now wildly raging in sixteen States, threatens to part her fastenings and carry her down. Our readers will bear us out in saying that we are not an alarmist. We have never threatened tire and sword, nor heeded threats of civil war or disunion from others.

We have had faith in the Union in its stability and almost in its eternity. We believe, now, that it is destined to stand. But wc do not believe that it could long survive the triumph of bitter sectionalism in the election of John C. Fremo.it. We do not believe that any fatuity can be profitably kept together after the members of it have illustrated their haired of each other by open acts of hostility.

The question of ttie continuance of the Union is now reduced to this simple question Whether the black Republican party, in its avowed hostility to the South, actually represents the North, or a majority of the people of the North This question will be decided in November. If it is decided in the affirmative, then we shall say unhesitatingly that the great blow of disunion has been struck. The South will not wait to be "subjugated." It will nevei trust itself to the tender mercies of a party whose, very existence rests irpon hatred of its people and hostility to its institutions. Men of Rhode Island, you may as well look this fact squarely in the face Xojifiten Ulutes of this Union iioiihern, southern, eastern, or western will ever submit to be governed by sixteen other States, whose triumph has been secured by appeals to prejudices against their institutions and by proclamations of hostiliti to their citizens! Should John C. Fremont take the presidential chair to-day as the representative of the party which placed him in nomination, and which supports him by appeals to sectional feelings and prejudices, he would hate to sit there without a sing'e cabinet officer from any southern State Vo man in the South, with a particle of reputation, would dare to accept, or icould want to accept, an appointment us one of his advisers Could a President thus circumstanced administer the government thirty days? Could he command the respect of the army or navy thirty hours? Would Congress ever assemble to legislate for the country With thirty senators and ninety representatives voluntarily absent, what would its legislation be worth With a cabinet and all the important officers of the government appointed from the North, how long, think you, could that government be sustained It 1s folly to talk at such a time as this of the importance of the Union to the South.

So far as maintaining slavery is concerned, the South gains nothing by the Union, if we except the occasional return of a fugitive. Slavery would stand on a firmer basis with the Union dissolved than it does today. It would only have to expatriate its thousands of free negroes, and send them North in a single avalanche, to place itself beyond the reach of internal disaster. This done, the West, following its rivers, would become its ally and in less than three years, New England would stand alone bankrupt and defenceless. We are told sometimes that it is not the purpose of Mr.

Fremont and his friends to lattack the institutions of the South through the machinery of the government. This assurance, sincere or not, is worth nothing. The South knows what the party is, and who its leaders are, and what is the food it lives upon. And it will never wait mark our words! it will never wait to test the truth of this declaration. It has too much at slake.

We shall not stop here to remark upon the vast importance and value of the Union to Rhode Island. It seems to us that a half-blind fanatic must perceive it. As a manufacturing and commercial State, what could we do alone What could we do, even in a conlederacy of all the free States? What could we do without the South? To say nothing of political and national weakness, what should we be as a commercial and a manufacturing people thus cut off from our best market We caution our" people again not to be deceived by the syren song of such as would have us believe that the Union cannot be dissolved. The necessity of separation is being forced upon us by the action of the black-republican abolition party. All the South asks to know is, whether that party correctly represents the North.

If it does, then it asserts and we believe that the breach has become a fixed fact. To cry peace at such a time is a crime of which we will not be guilty. The Union is strainino her fastenings, and calls upon all patriotic citizens to come to her rescue Pacification of Kansas. the Latest News. The following from the St Louis Republican of the 22d instant will be read with gratification "From Kansas.

The steamer David Tatum arrived yesterday afternoon from St. Joseph. She left that port on Wednesday last. At Kansas she took on board about 350 citizens of Missouri, who, in obedience to the proclamation of Gov. Geary, had given up their military organization and returned to Missouri.

They were principally from the counties of Howard, Boone, Saline, Cooper, and Franklin. Lawrence was in possession of United States troops, by whom 90 of Lane's men had been made prisoners. Lane fled from Lawrence with the remainder of his ragamuffins, and was in Nebraska. The train from Jefferson City last evening brought down several gentlemen direct from Kansas. They were passengers on the Aubry, and bring ihe latest news.

From one of them we learn that the whole of Gen. Reid's force had been disbanded, aud had returned to their homes. Gov. Geary was at Le-compton with 1,000 United States troops, and determined to maintain the peace and execute the laws. Under his orders ninety men had been taken prisoners at Lawrence.

The report of Lane and his band having fled to Nebraska is confirmed. They are said to have stolen property sufficient for them to live on during the coming winter, if they cakeep together so long. There was a report last evening that severarjlives were lost, on each sideyat Lawrence, but -tliisisbe lieved to be incorrect It is very gratifjfipjkq far, these tidings, and to know that the violeVfcjYwMch has so long prevailed in Kansas is St anegCGov.

Death of Judge Toomer. We regret to hear of the death, at Pittsboro' of Hon. Joiin D. Toomer, a distinguished citizen of this State. Learned, incorruptible, a high-toned gentleman, a profound jurist, an eloquent speaker, and a ready writer, in his death a public loss has been sustained.

He was man of great amiability and goodness of heart, and the buoyancy of his fancy was well set off by the charm of his conversation. With a mind well stored with rich intellectual gifts and acquirements, and an urbanity of disposition which charmed all who came within his influence, Judge Toomer was a fine representative of the old Cape Fear gentleman, without fear and without reproach" liberal, generous, biaye and courteous. Judge Toomer was a native of this town, and graduated with distinction at Chapel Hill. Elected a Judge of the Superior Courts of Law and Equity in 1818, he resigned his office the year following. Many years subsequent, he was appointed by the Governor and Council, a Judge of the Supreme Court, but the Legislature not confirming this appointment, he resigned.

In 1831-2, he represented Cumberland county in the Senate. In 1836, he was again elected a Judge of the Superior Court, and, after holding the office four years, resigned on account of ill health. For a number of years past he resided at Pittsboro', where he died. It is for an abler pen, and for one more intimate with the details of his long aud useful life, to do justice to his memory. We but announce the-fact that a distinguished son of the Cape Fear is no more.

Judge Toomer was 72 years of age. Wil Herald. Pennsylvania will do her Dun-. Before the election in Maine was held an intelligent citizen of Philadelphia wrote as follows to the editor of the Portland Argus We expect to lose Maine. I doubt if you appreciate sufficiently there the one terrible truth that the election of Fremont is, per se, Vie dissolution of the Union.

It would not merely endanger the Union and leave it doubtful, but this question is now as distinctly before the people as if union or disunion was upon their ballots. In order to elect Fremont, he must receive 149 northern electoral votes. In that event the outlawry of the southern States proclaimed by the sectional convention at Philadelphia will have been confirmed by the northern people, and a political geographical division will have been accomplished. The rest would speedily follow. But, thanks to the steady character of the people of this good old State, they are destined, as I firmly believe, to ward off the danger.

Fremont is comparatively so weak that no attempt has yet been made to form a black-republican electoral ticket here. The Americans have formed a Fillmore ticket, and the black republicans are endeavoring to make an arrange-uient with them but the attempt I venture to say, will prove vain. But whether they (unite or whether they divide, the result will be tho same. Along the frontier counties of the State, bordering on Maryland and Virginia, which would probably be the i order counties in case of disunion, very great changes have taken place in our favor."

A Washington -correspondent of the New York Daily News writes "All our accounts from Pennsylvania, Illinois, and Indiana are roost cheering could not be better and if we do not cany all those States by sweeping majorities, our friends are most grossly deceived." Another Washington correspondent of the same paper writes We have advices from Illinois which settlo the question in our favor. One of our friends I saw here to-day, who says he will bet on Illinois giving a larger proportionate majority ior the democratic ticket than any State in the Union. The Fremon-ters are badly frightened as an evidence of this, we hear that a letter was read at Woodstock, Vermont, from Thaddens, Stevens, of Pennsylvania, in which he sorrows over the certain defeat of the fusionists in that State." The ball is rolling on One hundred and seventeen members of the Methodist Church in Pittsburg, who were in favor of Fremont, have come out and repudiated him, and denounced the black-republican party, on the ground that the leaders of the party are aiding and abetting the violence and civil war which now unhappily exist in Kansas At a Fremont meeting in Columbiana county, Ohio, a few evenings since, the speaker declared himself in favor of the dissolution of the Union, or something equivalent- the! eto. After the close of the speech, the chairman and eleven others arose and stated that they could no longer train with the republican" paptv henceforward thev should fight under the democratic banner. Save Seed Corn Carefully.

In remarking upon the failure of the Corn to come up last Spring, we gave as a principal reason that much of the Corn was put up last Fall in an imperfectly dried condi-" tion. This "fact should be remembered now. Not only should extra care be taken to have all Corn designed for planting next Spring thoroughly ripened and dried, but the best ears should be selected. Those ripening first are quite likely to produce the earliest ripening crop when planted again. The largest ears should be taken, and these from the most prolific stalks.

Those which are perfect, having the kernels well filled out at both ends, should in all cases be chosen. These matters are quite too often overlooked. We known many farmers who have expended five to ten dollars or more per acre in preparing and planting a piece of' ground, from which they have gathered scarcely half a crop, simply for want of a shilling's worth of time in selecting and preparing the best seed, and this, in a greater or less degree, is too much the case genera lly. It is like that other piece of bad economy practiced by multitudes, who send their children to the district school a year, at an expense of thirty to fifty dollars for clothing, teachers, and yet lose half the benefit to be derived simply because they withhold one extra shilling for a suitable book. We urge every farmer to go over his cornfields himself, as soon as the crop is ripened, and gather out the kind of ears wc have indicated, and then either husk and store them away in a dry room, or go back to the old-fashioned plan of stripping dewn the husks, braiding them together so that tr; seed ears may be hung up in the attic or sother safe, dry place.

A Conspiracy. No one can doubt who has watched the course of the Black Republicans, that there is a deep-laid scheme for electing Fremont by keeping up the troubles in Kansas. At length facts have confirmed suspicions, and as "murder will out," so has this last design of the abolitionists been confessed in a manner they did not anticipate. The Detroit Free Press relates that a Mr. Phillips, the correspondent of the New York Tribune, came into that office, supposing it to be a Republican paper.

The editor says Without dispelling his illusion, wo asked.him "if it was probable such a row could be got in Kansas as would subserve the Republican cause and aid the election of Fremont?" lie said, Yes, that is the intention, and I think we shall succeed our plans arc well laid and can scarcely fail we are determined that the war shall last until November, at wh ttever cost I shall be in Kansas, and I have instructions in my pocket for Col. Lane." We asked him some other questions, which he onsviered with singular frankness, disclosing a conspiracy of the Black Republican leaders regarding Kansas more heinous and villainous, we verily believe, that any conspiracy ever before hatched. When we informed him that he had entered the wrong pew that he was in the office of a Democratic and not of a Black Republican paper that he had been addressing a Buchanan and not a Fremont man he was struck dumb with amezemcnt, from which he did not instantly recover.
