THURSDAY MORNING, SEPT. 11, 1328.
Col. WifliawT. Will:a *B was on Monday
last elected Mayor of this city, without opposition.
In our strictures on the Madison Springs norm
nation, on Monday last, we confined ourselves, to
the objections which existed against it, on ac
count of the entire disregard of the principle of
equal representation. It was shown that the can
didates were principally selected fro- A
tjiil Mellon oitne State, while the feelings, the
interest, -and the rights of the other sections were
utterly disregarded or overlooked. Other and se
rious objections to that nomination are not lack
ing. There was not sufficient attention paid to the
merits of the Candidates. Claims for past ser
vices were overloohed.
In support of this- objection we need only men
tion the names of Cuthbert and Charlton. Indi
viduals who have done the state some service,
and who have been distinguished for their pure
republican principles, and the entire consistency of
their political course. Yet such men as these have
been thrust aside, to make room for Mr.
whose disorganizing principles ought to subject
him to the suspicion of every patriot, and for Mr.
Wilde, whose imposition upon Congress in the
late African transaction, should expose him to the
•indignation of every honest man.
From the follwing extract, from art English pa
per, it will be seen, that the sympathy expressed
in many parts of this country, in favor of the op
pressed people of Ireland, excites the most lively
sensations in the bosoms of that grateful people,
indeed, the hopes of the patriot of Ireland rest, in
a great degree, upon the good feelings of their
fellow-patriots in this country. Oppressed, degra
ded, and ground down, as the Irish have been by
the tyranny of the British government, express”
ions of sympathy and friendship, bursting forth
from one end of the continent to the other, must
be peculiarly grateful and encouraging.
tl At a meeting of the Roman Catholic Associa
tion at Dublin, on the 21st of July, Mr. O'Connel
read a letter addressed to himself, forwarding a
bill of exchange for 182/ 8s Bd, from Philadelphia,
to the Catholic -Rent Fund, and requesting that
the subscribers be admitted members of the Asso
ciation. He made a motion to that effeet, &nd then
addressed the meeting at some length. In the
course of his remarks he observed that he had
communications from Boston and other parts of
America, aild that there was not a town or village
throughout the United States but were likely to
contribute.”
TO THE PUBLIC
I am probably the only candidate who has not
travelled beyond his vicinage, for the ‘fair and
lacdable purpose of conciliating the interests and
suffrages of his fellow citizens at the approaching
election for members of congress. I claim no
merit in this, for I would have migrated too, and
had prepared to do stf, but was prevented by cir
cumstances over which 1 had no.control.
The campaign being now over, I humbly offer j
this apology to my fellow citizens, in not having, j
like others, exhibited myself for inspection. It is
not only a customary respect due te them, hut it
-is highly necessary, to remove misapprehensions, >
and to repel calumnies, as to age, bodily health, j
find mental vmbesility. The people ought to see i
find judge for themselves. 1 regret it has not
been in my power to gratify them. But I have
been for many years—even from early youth—be- ;
Tore the public; and have had the vanity to sup
pose (pardon it) that my name and person, were
at least sufficiently known to supersede the neces
sity of an up-country cxcuision. 1 had certainly
no consideration to expect from a Caucus. My
/aith places me out of the deliberations and far
beyond the pale of that species of conclave.
I have grown older, of course, since JBOO-l;but
1 know and feel that I am still the plain republican
of that epoch, and that neither age nor infirmities
incapacitate me from being an active and jealous
servant of the people.
Owing not a single obligation to oligarchical
influence; deriving no aid from high sounding
names, or the wiles of intrigue, I throw myself
thus isolated as it were, upon the justice of the
people; claiming no other support tlian my unas
suming pretensions may entitle me to.
I avail myself of this opportunity to offer my
acknowledgements to the ten or eleven
thousand independent republicans, who gave me
their votes at the last election. It will afford me
happiness once again to be honored with their con
fidence and good opinion.

Fire Extraordinary. —On Saturday last
between 2 and 3 o clock P. M. our citizens
were alarmed by the ringing of the bell and
ciy of Fire, which was soon discovered to
he in the office of business room of the
Branch of the State Bank, and which for
its timely discovery and lb active exertions
of our population would soon have consum
ed the whole building,with its valuable con
tents ; fortunately however, no papers of
importance were destroyed, and although
some of the Books were considerably burn
ed, yet we learn, they were not so much
injured, but that their whole contents may
be made out, as the Teller s statement, (or
what a merchant would call his day book)
in which all entries are originally made, is
entire or uniijured, save the cover or bin
ding.
The fire originated in tiie inside of a Urge
pine desk, on which were laying the Books
that were injured, and when discovered,
had not communicated to the House, the
bottom and top df the desk were destroyed
and how the fire, got in it, seems to be mai
ter of much conjecture; there are a thous
and rumours afloat, and the subject is invol
ved iu deep mystery. —Tiie account given
by the officers of the Bank is,that the Clerk
sometime during the morning used a Can
dle and wax in sealing a letter or package,
and in the hurry of business communicated
the fire to the contents of the desk which
did not break out fill after .the Bank was
closed at 1 o clock
It is due to the Cashier Samuel 11. Pul
len Esq. to state that he was absent ou bus
iness at Ralleigh, and that he has no fam
ily residing in the Bank. The loss to the
Bank in the destruction of doors, windows,
fences &c. is estimated at from three to

THE MAGICIAN’S VISIT.
r BY HENRY NEELE, ESC*-
It was at the close of a fine autumnal
day, aud the shades of evening were begin
ning to gather over the city of Florence,
when a low quick rap was heard at the door
of Cornelius Agrippa, and shortly after
wards a stranger was introduced into the
apartment into which the philosopher was
sitting at his studies.
Tiie stranger, although linely formed,
and of courteous demeanor, had a certain
indefinable air of mystery about him, which
excited awe, if, jnueed rt had not a repel
lent effect. His years it was difficult to
guess, for ihe marks of youth and age were
blended in his features in a most extraor
dinary manner. There was not a funow
on his cheek, or a Wrinkle on his brow, and
his large black eye beamed with all the
brilliancy and vivacity of youth; but his
stately figure wasoent, apparently beneath
the weight of years; jus hair, although thick
and clustering, was grey; and his voice
was feeble and tremulous, yet its tones were
of the most ravishing and soul searching
melody . His costume was that of a Flor
entine gentleman; but he held a stuff like
that of a palmer iu his hand, and a silken
sash, insctibed with oriental characters,
was hound around hjs waist. His face was
deadly pale, but every feature of it was
singularly beautiful, audits expression was
that of profound wisdom, mingled with
poignant sorrow - .
‘‘Pardon me, learned sir, ’ said he, ad
dressing the philosopher, “but your fame
has travelled Jnto all lands, ami has reached
all ears, and I could not leave the fair city
of Florence without seeking an interview
with one who is its greatest boast and or
nament **
“You are right welcome, sir,” returned
Agrippa; “bu< I Tear that your trouble and
curiosity will be but ill repaid. lam sim
ply one, who instesd of devoting my days,
as do the wise, to the acquirement of
•wealth and honour, have passed long year&
jn painful and unprofitable,study, in ej&dea
vuuring to unravel the secrets of nature,
and initating myself in the mysteries of the
occult sciences. *
“Talkest thou of long years'.* echoed
the stranger, and a melancholy smile played j
over his. features :— * thou, who hast scarce- 1
ly seen fourscore since thou left’st thy era- i
die, and tor .whom the quiet grave is now
waiting, eager to clasp thee in her shelter
ing arms! 1 was among the tombs to day;
the still and solemn tombs: I saw them
smiling in the last beams of the setting sun
IN hen I was a boy, I used to wish to be
like the sun; his career was so long, so
bright, so glorious... But to night I thought
it is better to slumber among those tombs
than to belike him.* To night he sank
beneath the hills, apparently to repose, but
to morrow he must renew his course, and
i,un the same dull and unvaried but toilsome
and unquiet race. T. here is no grave for
liim, and ffight and morning dews are the
tears that Ire xlieds over his tyrannous des
tiny.”
Agrippa was a deep observer and admir
er °f external nature and of all her phe
nomena, and had often gazed upon the 1
scene wiiich the stranger had described,
but the feelings and ideas which it awaken- I
ed iu the mind of the latter were so differ- i
ent from any thing which be had himself
experienced, that he could not help, fora
season, gazing upon him in speechless
wonder. His guest, however, speedily
resumed ihe discourse
“But I trouble you, I trouble you; to
my purpose in making you this visit. I :
have heard strange tales of a wortderous
mirror, which your potent aft has enabled j
you to construct, in which whosoever looks)
may see the distant or the dead, on whom
he is desirous again to fix his gaze. My
eyes see nothing in this outward visible
world which cau be pleasing to their sight.
The grave has closed over all I loved
Time has carried down its stream every
thing that once contributed to my enjoy
ment. The world is a vale of tears, hut
among all the tears which water that sad
valley, not one is shed for me—the loun
tain in my own heart, too, is dried up. I
would once again look upon the face which
I loved. I would see that eye more bright
and that step more stately than the ante*
lope’s; that brow, the broad smooth page
on which God had inscribed bis fairest
characters. I would gaze ot all I loved
and all I lost. Such a gaze would be dear
er to my heart than all that the world has
to offer” me—except the grave, except the
grrve.*’
The passionate pleading of the stranger
had such an effect upon Agrippa (who was
not used to exhibit his miracle of art to the
eyes of all who desired to look in it, altho’
he was often tempted by exorbitant pre
sents and high honors so do so,) that he
readily consented to grant the request of
his .extraordinary visiter
“NVhom wouldst thou seel” fie inquired
“My child, my own sweet Miriam,’ an
swered the stranger
Cornelius immediately caused every ray
of the light of heaven to be excluded from
the chamber, placed the stranger on his
right hand, and commenced chanting, in a
low soft tone, and in a strange language,
some lyrical verses, to which the stranger
thought he heard occasionally a response,
but it was a sound so faint and indistinct
that he hardly knew whether it existed any
where but in his own fancy. As Corneli
us continued his chant, the room gradually
became illuminated, but whence the light
proceeded it was impossible to discover.
At : ength the stranger plainly perceived a
large mirror which covered the whole of
the extreme end of the apartment and over
the surface of which a deuce haze or cloud
seemed to be rapidly passing.
“Died she in wedlock’s holy bands?” in,
quired Cornelius
“ She was a virgin spotless as the snow.”
“How many years have passed away
since the grave closed over her?”
A cloud gathered on the stranger,s
brow,and he answered somewhat impatient
ly, “Many, many; more than I now have
time to number.**
“Nay,* said Agrippa, 4 But I must know.
For every ten years that have elapsed since
her death once must 1 wave this wand; and
when I have waved it for the last time, you
will see her figure in yon mirror ”
“Wave on, then,” said the stranger, and
groaned bitterly; “wave on, and take hoed
that thou be not weary ”
Cornelius Agrippa gazed on his strange
guest with something of anger, but he ex
cused his want of courtesy on the ground
of the probable extent of his calamities.—
He then waved his magic wand rpany times,
but,to his consternation, it seemed to have
lost its virtpe. Turning again to the stran
ger ho exclaimed:
“•‘ ho, and what art thou, mao? Thy
presence troubles me. According to all
the rules of my art, thisrwand has already
described twice two hundred vears: still
has the surface of the mirror experienced
no alteration. Say, dost thou mock me,
and did no siielS person ever exist as thou
hast described to me?’
“Wave on, wave on*” was the stern and
only reply which this interrogatory extract
ed from the stranger.
The curiosity of Agrippa, although
was himself a dealer in wonde. s, beg an
now to be excited, and a mysterious feeling
of awe forbade him to desist from waving
his wand, much as he doubted the sinceri
ty of his visiter. As his arm grew slack,
hr heard the deep solemn tones of the
stranger exclaiming, “Wave on, wave on! ’
and at length, after his waxid, according to
the calculations of his art, had described a
period of above twelve hundred years, the
cloud cleared away from the surface of the
mirror, and the stranger, with an excla
mation of delight, arose, and gazed rap
turously upon the scene which was there
represented.
An exquisitely rich and romantic pros- !
pect was before him. In the distance
rose lofty mountains crowded with ceders:
a rapid stream rolled in the middle, and in
the-fore* ground were seen camels grazing;
a rill trickling by, in which some sheep !
were quenching their thirst, and a lofty !
palmtjee, beneath whose shade a young
I female of exquisite beauty, and rich habit*
ed in the costume of the East was shel
tering herself from the rays ol the noon
tide sun.
“’Tis she! tis she!” shouted .the stran- 4
ger; and he was rushing towards the mir
ror, hut was prevented by Cornelius who,
said,
“Forbear, rash man, to quit this spot !
with each step that thou advancest towards
the mirror, the image will become fainter,
aad shouldsf thou approach too near, it
will vanish.away entirely
,XJjiis warned, he resumed but
his agitation was so excessive, that he was
obliged to lean on thcf arm of the philoso
pher for support, while from time to time,
lie, uttered incoherent expressions of won
der, delight, and lamentation. “’Tis she!’
’tis she!-even as she looked while. Jiving!
How beautiful she is! Miriam, my gIuUI,
canst thou not speak to me? By heaven,
she moves! she smiles! Oh speak to me a
single word! or only breathe, or sigh! Alas!
all’s silent; dull and desolate as this heart!
Again that smile!—that smile, the rcniem
brance of which a thousand Winters hi,
not been able to freeze up in my l u . ,
Old mail it is in vain to hold me! I n Hj , ‘
will clasp her !” 1
As he uttered the last words, he ruslim
franticly towards the mirror; the scene ro
presented within it faded awaj; the cloud
gathered again over its surface; ana t| ie
Stranger sunk senseless on the earth
i When he received his consciousness, )> e
found bimseif in the arms of Agrippa, who
was chafing his temple and gazing on
with looks of wonder and fear. He iinmp„
diatelv rose on his feet with restored
strength, and pressing the hand of his host
he said, “Thanks, for thy courtesy and thy
kindness, and for the sweet but painful
sight which thou hast presented to niy
eyes.” As he spake these words, he put a
purse into the hand of Cornelius, but the
latter returned it saying, “Nay, nay, keep
thv gold, friend. I know not, indeed, that
a Christian man dare take it; but be that
as it may, I shall esteem msself sufficiently
repaid if thou will tell me who thotj art.”
“Behold!'’ said the sttanger, pointing t 0
a large historical picture which hung on
the left hand of the room.
‘‘l see,” said the philosopher, “an ex.
quisite work of art, the production of one
of our best and earliest artists, respecting
our Saviour carrying his cross ’
“But look again!” said the stranger, fix
ing his keen eyes intently on him, a lu j
pointing to a figure on the left hand ofthe
picture. *
Cornelius gazed, and saw with wonder
what he had not observed before; the ex
traordinary resemblance which this figure
bore to the stranger of whom, indeed, it
might be said to be a portrait,
i “That,'’ said Cornelius, with an etno
tion of horror, * is intended to represent the
unhappy infidel who smote the divine Suf
ferer for not walking faster, and was there
fore condemned to walk the earth himself,
until the period of that Sufferer’s second
coming.”
“Tis I! tis I!” exclaimed the stranger;
and rushing out of the house, rapidly
disappeared

Dreadful Catastrophe !—Again the
painful duty devolves upon us of recording
the melancholy event of another bursting
of a boiler. The towboat Grampus while
towing up 4 vessels yesterday, about day
light, whexe within 9 miles of the city ex
ploded one of her boilers, and shocking to
relate killed every person employed in the
boat, withy he exception of Capt Morrison,
who at the time of the accident happened
to he aft on the upper deck, in company
with Mr. Wederstrandt, a passenger in
the Grampus, both of whom escaped with
slight wounds. The vessels Dext to the
I boat were greatly injured. The brig Tbc
[mas & VV illiam had her fore and main top
mast, cut off, and her bows and quarter
shattered, and the other vessels sustained
’ much injury in their rigging. We are un
able to give the particulars to day as the
I gentleman who brought the information left
: soon after the accident happened.
1 V\ e are informed that not the least
blame can be attributed to, Capt. Morrison
as he had lost most part of the previous
day in cleansing and repairing the boilers
to prevent any accident ; but that the most
| culpable neglect was attributable to the en
gineers in permitting the boilers to become
almost destitute of water.
