BURLINGAME3 SPEECH. i We invite attention to a very sensible article on our fourth page, oo tbe Speech of Mr. Bqrlin-Gtut, of Massachusetts, in tho U. S. House of RepreseiUatives, from the Bostoa U- 1 THE DISCUSSION.

We were present during most of the time of the discussion between Br. ao. Gilmer, ion1 rectly as saying that he (Brooks) was guilty of 13 00 00 17 0 .10 11 13 00 00 40 0 00 1 25 no I 65 I 00 00 00 4 00 4 00 00 15 iff 17 8 7 10 45 00 00 30 43; 0 00 5 73 0 00 0 Of) 0 00 to dissolve the legislature, and did so. 71 these words were passing from bis my lips lie commenced a succession of blows with a heavy cane on my bare head, by the first of vckich I teas stunned so as to lose sight." It would have gratified me had be been compelled to auswor ui.dcr oath as to the violence of the first blow' which I aver wds but a tap, and intended to-iut him on his guard. But, sir, be i conveniently and deliberately absent And on travll notwithstanding but -six days, ago this case was postponed on account of bis extreme indisposition and the material ityf "his testinmiy; and yet, with all these disadvantages, I prefer to.

receive the judgment of tbe Conrt than to continne in suspense. It ianot my purpose to adduce any evidence in defence. I have already accomplished more than half of the journey of life, and this is the first time tbat it has been my misfortune tone arraigned before any- judicial tribunal aa a breaker of any law of my country. I confess, sir, snd without shame, that my sensibilities are disturbed by my novel position, and I have but to express my profound regret that, in discharging a duy imposed upon me by my own sense, of right and the scntimoat of the gallant people it is ray pride and honor to represent, I am constrained a consequence to approneh you as a violator aud not as a -maker of the law. In extenuation of my offence permit me to say that no extraordinary power of invention is requisite to imagine a variety of personal grievances which the good of society aud eiten public morality require to be redressed, and yet no adequate legal remedy may be bad.

So also are those cases which may fall under the condemnation of the letter of tbe law, and yet like considerations wili restrain its penalties. The villain who perverts the best feelings of the better sex, and rewards tfnsuspecting devotion with ruin, may bid defiance to tills honorable Court; but, where a sister's dishonor is blotted out with the bloed of her destroyer, an intelligent and wholesome public opinion, embodied in an intelligent and virtuous jury, always has and always will control the law, and popular sentiment will applaud what the books may condemn. It is thu glory of the law that it is founded in reason. But can tbat reasoning be just which is not regardful of human fueling 1 Sir, no knows bettor than yourself that such a reproaeh docs not rest upon our jurisprudence, for even the stern Thursday last. A very large attended perhaps nearly, or quite one thousand persons.

Mr Orr deprecated the fact that an attempt had been made to impress the public mind that Sumner was stricken down while pleading in behalf of the people of Kansas. Such was not true, Sumner was punished for a libel on South Carolina, and slander on Mr.

Butler. It waa not true that Mr. Sumner was stricken down with a bludgeon. It was proved that was an ordinary walking csne an inch in thickness. Wbeo Mr Orr concluded the House adjourned.

Col. Sumner repaired to tbe Hall of Representatives', and laid: "I-am called upon to perform the most painful duty of my life. Under the authority of the President I am here to dissolve the Legislature. In accordance ith my orders I command you to God knows, I have no party feeling in the matter, and I will haro none wbilg I hold my present, position.

A two weeks tour through the States of Michigan, Wisconsin, lows, and Illinois, has. given us an opportunity to observe tbe growing crops, and to judge for ourselves.

In Michigan the Corn is backward, but the rains and sun are bringing it forward fast, and an average Crop ia looked for. Tbe winter wheat is good In Illinois, (the northern part,) wheat, both spring and winter, is rack. Corn is breast high, stands well, and premises a heavy yield. There is, too, in this State, an immeuse breadth of land sown. Farmers are getting more Independent, have more facitittesand can take care more grain than heretoore.

The trouble bas been with tbem, that they could sow more than they could reap, help in harvest being scarce. But now, tnacr icrry plows; boavs, reaps, rata, thrashes and cleans their grains and but little left for a man io do. except to market his crop. THere is no- old wheat in the country, but plenty of corn. Every Tanner, almost, has balf or two-thirds of his last year's crop on hand, lay-ing in heaps about bis barfts.

Crops: In Iowa and Wisconsin thro will be an immense yield of wheat, oats and corn there is no fly or rust yet visible, and this wwk'the wheat harvest will generally commence. Look oat for low prices. Recovery of a Portion of the Lost Submarine Cable. Stdhet, C. July 8.

MILITARY COURTESY. The German Volunteers, tender capt. VwGlIhs, and the Rifle Cadets under capt. Blaney, paraded on yesterday morning, and escorted Governor Bbago, from Holmes' Hotel to the Steam Boat Wharf, while taking bis departure from our town. The whole affair was- exceedingly well conducted, and after the escort the companies paraded about town ia very handsome style.

There were discharges of artillery from Costin's wharf, on the opposite side of the river, and the military also fired 'salutes when the boat started on her' way across the river to tbe Cars of the Wilmington Manchester Rail Road. We look upon thi affair as highly appropriate land as a courtesy properly due to the Commander in Chief. MR. GILMER. We understand that while we were absent for a short time from the discussion on Thursday, Mr.

Gilmer was quite facetious in regard to ns and our afiairs. It is very proper that the, gentleman should be facetious. If a Know Nothing candidate for Governor of North Carolina jmay ot Indulge iu a littlo episodical facetia, he would have a very dull time of it, we guess. ll But the chief point to note in this matter is the tetement made by Mr. Gilmer that Mr.

Baiao was among the boys wjiom we had to take to task for their sauciness towards us on the floor of the House of Commons years ago. The fact is that Mr. Bbaoo was not in that crowd oo the contrary he reprovedj the mv and- told them that they had done wrong like a gentleman as lie is and-always was. In candor and justice to- Mr. Gilmer we 'must say that we believe he thought Mr.

Ba.eff was among the boys "waeW he said so and moreover, we believe he would have said so, whether Judge Crawford, upon the conclusion of Mr. Brooks's remarks, proceeded to give the following decision "As this matter will be within a short time the subject of investigation in another place, and as it is not necessary to the discharge of my duty that I should remark on tbe evidence adduced, which I could not do without touching on some of the point that will probably be raised elsewhere, it appears to me to be proper what the sentence of the Court should bo pronounced without comment. That sentence is that tbe defendant pay a fine of SSOO." HAIL STORMS. niLLSBoao, N. July 9, 1856, Some parts of county bavj suffered severely from hail storms which passed over it on Saturday evening and Sunday noon.

The one on Saturday evening, we understand, commenced about six or seven miles north of this place, and extended down to the neighborhood South Lowell, destroying almost entirely the com and other exposed crops, and demolishing the glass In windows.
