Semi-Weekly for the session, $1 00 Weekly 60 The President Elect His Cabinet, dec. There is already much speculation as to the persons who will compose the cabinet of Mr. Buchanan and also as to his course with reference to Kansas, the slavery agitation, and other subjects. The black Republican journals have commenced their attacks upon him in advance, and are laboring insidiously to produce the impression that his administration will be Southern, and not national and that his cabinet will be made up of gentlemen differing so widely on the subject of slavery as to be unable to act together harmoniously.

And these black Republican journals are most faithfully responded to and re-echoed by many of the Know Nothing journals of the South for there is, at least, one ommon bond of union between them that of hatred towards the Democratic party, and a desire to see it overthrown, at whatever hazard. Mr. Buchanan is a statesman of great experience, of mature age, of sound judgment, and lofty patriotism, lie will not be apt to do any thing without due reflection. He is no headlong, headstrong, pre-ccpitate man but he is cool, clear-headed, sagacious, not subject to caprices of passion, nor liable to be swerved by opposition of any kind from the path of duty. lie is, too, a firm man.

lie is not only fitted in every respect to be the President, but he will be, whoever may be in his cabinet, or whatever may be said or be advised to be done by persons in or out of it. That is our opinion of Mr. Buchanan. The incoming President will have to encounter many difficulties, but we believe he will be equal to them all. We take it for granted, from our estimate of the man, that he will call around him a competent and able cabinet; and we confess that we are not much concerned as to who they may be, nor as to the States from which they may be called.

That is a matter for is consideration and the Democratic party, we are sure, will be generally satisfied with his selections. Nor do we expect him to be a Southern President, lie is a national man in his antecedents, in his principles, and he is the elect of a national party. We expect him to be President of the United States all of them, from Maine to California. We expect him to do all in his power to subdue the abolition spirit, and to allay slavery agitation but we ask him to perform no unjust act towards the free States. In relation to slavery extension, what we ask ar.d all we ask, is the principle of non-intervention by Congress no geographical lines, but the right of the people of the Territories, when they come to form State Constitutions, to say whether they will have slavery or not.

Less than this the Southern people will never submit to more than this they have no right, under a common Constitution, to expect It will not be possible for Mr. Buchanan to please the black Republicans, or a majority of Southern Know Nothings. We are sure he will not attempt any such hopeless task. But he will do his duty firmly, unshrinkingly, under all circumstances, not turning to the right nor to the left to conciliate enemies or factions, but keeping constantly in view the interests and the welfare of the whole country. Constituted as he is, educated as he ha been, experienced as he is, loving his country as he does, solicitous as he should be, and as he must be for the approval of the good and wise of this day and of posterity, and with but a few brief years separating him from his final account in the world hereafter, it is not possible that he should commit an intentional error, or act corruptly in his great office.

But he will be misrepresented, maligned, and reviled by scctionalists and demagogues his motives will be assailed and if the Union should be' threatened with destruction, during his term, or at the close of it, as it has recently been threatened, he will be held up by the class referred to as responsible for the impending ruin. But Jefferson, and Jackson, and Polk, and Pierce have passed through the fire before him. The people cheered and sustained them, and they will sustain him. If the New England States the region of bigotry and isms voted against the latter, they also voted against Mr. Jefferson but in Mr.

Jefferson's second contest with federalism, in 1804, they all voted for him, with the exception of Connecticut. With such a man for President, and with a Democratic Congress, we are far from despairing of the Republic. The Legislature. -The first week of the session has passed, and both houses have fully organized and appointed their Committees. They are now prepared to proceed with their labors.

There are several subjects of importance which will engage the attention of the two houses. Let us hope that there will be as little as possible of party discussions and party bitterness and that all will unite and labor together to promote the inter ests and advance the prosperity of our beloved The general impression Appears to be that the present session will not be as protracted as former ones. In Wednesday's report of the proceedings in the House of Commons, it was stated that Mr. Foster was qualified and took seat; this was an error, as that gentleman appeared and was qualified on the morning previous.

A vt Ue wh is Prudent in hi3 mode and manner or lire, there is no climate more The honorable gentleman soon leaves, we 'understand, for Washington on official business, but will return to his post at an caily day. He has displayed most eminent abilities 5n a position surrounded with difficulties and dangers, and has performed the high duties connected with his ministerial office eminently satisfactorily, we believe, to the Government Nu YorJeNews.t Wheeler, it is understood, returned with a view to recruiting his health and strength, having been recently dangerously indisposed. The El Nicaraugueso of a late date contains full and interesting accounts of the "attack at Mas- 6aya the routing of the allied forces the counter march on Granada two glorious victories in two days," General Walker, it is known, is in con-' flict with several of the neighboring States and the result of these battles seems to have given strong assurance that for a considerable time, at least, he will remain unmolested.

From the accounts referred to his troops fought with much courage and achieved signal victories. While the attack by Walker on Massaya was going on, a part of 'the enemy entered Granada, the capital of Nicaragua, when a number of American citizens were murdered. Walker, however, soon returned, and drove them from the capitol with great slaughter. "El Nicaranguese says: It appears that as soon as Gen. Belloso, a San Salvadorian, who is commander-in-chief of the Allies, heard of Gen.

Walker's approach, he dispatched by a different road about six hundred men to attack Granada. He must have been under the impression that the capital had been left wholly unprotected, and that it would fall easily into his bands. They arrived about 1 o'clock on the afternoon of the 12th, and entered the city by two parts. They attempted to get into the plaza, but were repulsed with considerable loss. They then got into houses ana began to cut their way into the center of the city.

There were only about one hundred and fifty Americans in Granada, including the sick in the hospital, and these, under Brig. Gen. Fry, held the city and fought against this great odds for twenty-one hours. Many of the women and children were placed for safety in the large parochial church, and a few sought the protection of the house of the American Minister. But the American flag was no protection.

Brave men and Mississippi rifles were all that saved them. The American Minister himself was at the time laboring under a serious illness and were it not for the valor of his countrymen who would not see the stars and stripes defiled and dishonored, he, like other American citizens, would have been dragged from his bed and inhumanly butchered. There were, unfortunately, some merchants and missionaries here who refused to take up arms, supposing that the flag of their country would afford them protection but when the enemy found that they could not enter the plaza, they went around to the houses of those persons, and murdered them in a shocking manner. Among those who thus lost their lives was a Mr. Wheeler, who had been sent here to distribute Bibles by the Bible Society of New York, the Rev.

Mr. Ferguson, and a Mr. Lawless, who had been a merchant here for some j'cars. They broke into the houses of citizens who resided beyond the protection of our guns, killed every person they saw who had a white face, and destroyed all the property they could. Twice they attempted to fire the houses, but did not succeed.

About 8 o'clock on the morning of the 13th the anniversary of the day on which he first took Grana- .1 SI If.tl I aa ucn. tranter ana nis iorce were wituin gunshot of Jalteba church. On a slight eminence in the road, the enemy had erected a barricade and placed a cannon. Those who came from Massaya, here met a strong piquet of those already in the city, numbering probably a hundred, and they did certainly defend this spot with a spirit of desperation. Our men advanced to within fifty yards of them under a most galling cross fire.

At this point, so intensely hot was the tire that they were stopped for about twenty seconds. At this juncture Uen. Walker himself appeared at their head. The sight of him made them invincible. They charged like enraged lions, and the enemy fled in every uirecuon, leaving meir cannon in the tiela, Iney then rushed into the city, attacking the places in which the enemy had fortified themselves.

and in less than three-quarters of an hour the whole opposing lorces were seeking for safety by hiding in tne ousnes, anu endeavoring to escape from the city by every available source." Solicitor for the 6th Circuit. William Lander, of Lincoln, was on Friday last, re-elected Solicitor for this Circuit, by a vote of 103 to 37. Mr. Lander is one of the ablest lawyers in the State of his age, and has discharged his duties as Solicitor with marked industry and fidelity. lie is eminently deserving, both as an officer and as man, of this renewed evidpnee of confidence on the part of the General Assembly.

The Legislature has yet to elect an Attorney Gen eral, and also Solicitors for the 1st and 7th Circuits; and if a new Circuit should be established, there will be a Judge and Solicitor to be chosen for that, Oak-City Guards' Lectures. The first lecture of the Course will be delivered by the Hon. D. L. Swain in the Hall of the House of Commons, on Saturday evening, Nov.

Swain will be looked for ward to with interest Tickets 25 cents each, to be had at the Book and Drug Stores, or any member of the Committee. The public is respectfully invited to attend. Terrible Accident.

We learn that a very sad accident occurred near Dysartville, McDowell coun ty, in this State, a few days ago. The tressel work being put np by Dr. Vandyke for conveying water for mining purposes, fell, or gave way, instantly killing five white men and seriously wounding seven or eight others, some of whom will probably die.

It is said that four hundred persons in Connecticut were deprived of their vote this month by the new constitutional pro vision requiring that they should know how to read ana in oraer to vote. This provision was brought forward and passed by the know nothings of the State. The Philadelphia Ledger says Connecticut is the first State that has made an attempt to disfranchise a free citizen.

It is desira ble that every man should possess those aids to knowledge reading and writing but we should not fall into the error of mistaking the mere instrumentalities for intelligence itself A man may know how to think correctly who nothing at all of reading ana writing, and that can do both the latter have no original thinking po wer. 1 he latter are less capable of exercising the right of suffrage intelligently than the man who possesses natural mother wit, without any, assistance from reading. An aristocracy founded on scholastic attainments may be better than one based upon property, but an aristocracy of any kind in a representative republic, established on the principle of equal political rights, is not very consistent, not very democratic. He Will Never be Forgotten. The telegraph informs ns (says the Memphis Appeal) that the leg' islatu'reof Michigan elect is republican, and that General Cass will be defeated for the Senate.

Such news is calculated to cast a chill over every good man and true patriot in the country. A man who, in his endeavors to save the Union from the various isms that have sprung up within the past few years is beaten, and the sectionalists of the North rejoice over their victory 1 such a victory would have been rejoiced over by the tories of the revolution had the news been received that the American army, led by Washington, at the battle-field ofYorktown, was de feated. When such gloating takes place over the defeat of a well-tried servant, who has devotea more vears than are usually allotted to man, in the service of his country, andwho, through that vast period of time, has been true to the whole Union, it is time for Americans those worthy of the name to rise in their might and sustain a second Cincinnatus from the assaults of an implacable foe, who would see the Union torn in shreds to carry out their fanatical desia-ns. Although beaten by the black rcpubli rtans. his manv virtues and noble deeds are still green in the memory of the national men of the United States.

General Cass will never be forgotten 1 R.

2P Raleigh Register please copy. Notes on the Canvass. The champions of Democracy in this State have everywhere entitled themselves to the full meed of praise. They have manfully done their duty, in advocating the Demo cratic cause and in exposing the foul heresies of Know Nothingism. The people have evinced their appreciation of their efforts by cordially responding to their appeals and rolling up an overwhelming ma- ioritv in their favor.

Well done, good and laitfr ful servants," is the benediction bestowed upon them by the people. Our own District Elector, William F. Martin, has ably and faithfully dischargd the responsi ble trust confided to him. He nas assiduously ae-voted himself to the arduous duties of his position and his eloauent arguments have bad their effect unon the nonular mind. He has borne aloft our nroud standard, and his party has reason be proud of the power and effect with which he bore himself throughout the canvass.

It is due to the Hon. H. M. Shaw, our accomplished Elector for the State at large, that we should state that during the greater part of the canvass, be was confined to his bed by a dangerous illness, from J. which he is but now slowly, recovering.

He made several able and telling speeches during the early part of the canvass and we feel warranted in saying, from our. knowledge of his zeal in the cause, that but for his untimely illness, his eloquent voice would have been heard from one end of the State to the other, in gallant championship of Democratic principles.

The present is his first appearance in the senate.

He was a member of tbe Cincinnati Convention, and held the honorable position as chairman of the North Carolina delegation. Mr. Shepherd is a representative of the east, and is a lawyer of rapidly-increasing He has served one session as a member of the house, where he distinguished himself as a leading and use- fur member. Tbe unanimity with which these ex cellent presiding officers have been chosen is an omen of the harmony to prevail during tbe deliberations of the session and a realization of the bene fits accruing to tbe State from Democratic control. Washington Union, Niggers and Patriotism.

Mr. Clingman's Char lotte letter seems to have thrown the whole batch of Southern Know Nothing Union 'shriekers" into spasms. The K. N. Editors of the State seem to think he had special allusion to them as the indi viduals who wouTO have been promptly taken care of by vigilance committees, had the crisis but a short time since so much feared, come upon us.

As Mr. Buchanan is elected, and there will be no occasion for vigilance committees to watch over the interests of Southern communities, at least for the next four years, we advise these nervous gcutlemen to dismiss their fears, and no longer suffer themselves to be disturbed by such ugly visions. Ihe main argument relied npon by those gentle men to weaken the force of Mr. Clingman's position, and if possible injure him in the estimation of the Southern people, is the oft repeated story that he is not a slave-holder. Wonderful logic! Worthy of its illustrious authors I Tried by this rule, ninety- nine hundredths of tbe soldiers of tbe devolution were not patriots.

And by the same process of reasoning, we must conclude that a large majority of those who fought the battles of the country in the late war with Mexico were not patriots. Take the gallant company that went from this county, for example, and how many of them were slave-holders Not one in twenty. Were not these men patriots? Their country has honored them as such, and they richly deserved ft Mr. Clingman, although a Southern man by birth, education, interest, feeling, and every tie which can bind a man to hi3 section, and thoroughly identified with the South by past efforts in her behalf, and by all his hopes for the future, is not a slave-holder, and cannot, therefore, according to these new lights, be an honest man and a SSuch flummery comes very appropriately from the K. IN.

press. How long will Know Nothing editors continue to insult the good sense of the community with such twaddle the natural offspring of an effete aristocra cy, as disgusting to the intelligent slave-holder, as to everybody else Asheniue Jsews. What Good did Mr. Fillmore's Running Do? It is contended by some persons and presses that Mr. Buchanan owes the success of his election to the fact that Mr.

Fillmore was a candidate. Let us test tbe value of this opinion. It wil hardly be said that Mr. Fillmore aided Mr. Buchan an in tbe estate of Mew xork, for Mr.

Buchanan will not receive the eiectorial votes of that State the same can be said of all the New England States. Mr. Fillmore's running did not help Mr. Buchanan in Pennsylvania, for the democratic ticket obtained more votes in that State than tbe Fillmore and Fremont ticket united. Mr.

Fillmore's running prevented the democratic candidate from receiving the electoral vote of Mary land, and hence he afforded no help to the democra cy in that state. In Ohio Mr. Fillmore was of no service to the de mocracy, for that State was carried by the black re publicans. In Indiana the democracy triumphed over the Fillmore and rremont fusion. In Illinois, if reports are reliable, the democracy have triumphed in spite of fusion, Dillinore, lire' mont and everything else.

In New Jersey Buchanan received about as many votes as Fillmore and icmont united. Inasmuch as Michigan and Wisconsin have gone for Fremont, Mr. Fillmore did not aid the democracy in those States. In all the southern States the Fillmore party opposed the democracy. Where, then did the know-nothing candidate benefit the democratic nominee? Will some of the wise men of the know-nothing party bring up some reliable data upon which to sustain the opinion that Mr.

Buchanan owes a single electoral vote which he requires to elect him to the presidency to any effort on the part of Mr. Fillmore's friends Mr. Buchanan owes bis election to the rotes of the national democracy of the aided by thousands of conservative, constitutional whigs, and not to know-nothingism or black republicanism.

15, Fatbttbvili. Stbcbt, IS NOW PREPARED TO OFFER TO THE COMMU NITY a splendid assortment of Goods, consisting of Cloths, Casimeres and Vesting, in every respect suitable for gentlemen. I think it unnecessary to specify tbe different colors of cloths or the quality. Suffice it to say, I have every thing that is usually kept in a regular tailoring establishment, all of which shall be cut and: made in the manner a gentleman ought to wear. I have lately returned from the North, having been prevented from going at tbe usual time by sickness in my family.

I have unexpectedly had tbe advantage of buying at a much cheaper rate thn formerly, and I can sell goods much cheaper than heretof re. Indeed, I intend to sell cheaper Hum any body else and therefore I solicit calls from my friends and customers generally, and from the members of the Legislature in particular." Visitors to the City of Raleigh will please call on me, and I will certainly give tliera gmid bargains, either in clothing of my owo manufacture or in that ready made; aa I am receiving a large assoriuicnt of clothing of the best kind, and for furnishing goods none can be found cheaper'. I also have a large assortment of Fancy Goods, which I will sell at a small profit, consisting of Gentlemen's Robes, Fancy Shawls, Cravats, Gloves, and every thing in the lino of a geutleman's wear except boots and bats. My stock is too large to enumerate, and yon will please call and examine for yourselves, as yon will be tbe best judge. Call at the well known house, No.

15, Fayetteville street, where you will find cheap bargains for your cash as I wish to do a cash business for the future. My terms have heretofore been six months credit but it is impossible for me to conduct business on this plan, as I have to meet my payments regularly evfcry ninety days. Those indebted to me at home or at a distance, will please call and settle their accounts, many of which have been standing a long time. I have made this call on my friends "through the press and by snd it has not been responded to. Please attend to this appeal, as my business cannot be conducted 'on the credit system any longer.

I return my tb anks to fa generous community for past custom and I snail endeavor to merit a continuance of favor. T. R. FENTRESS. I wish to employ two or three good journeymen tailors, to whom the best prices will be given.
