Choico—Divisions of the Democrate—Great Excitement, Hearing that there was to be # Convention in this place of the American party, to nominate a candidate for the Central Congressional distriet, your humble servant was on hand; and though I arrived in town a number of hours before the Convention assembled for business, the two hotels, and many of the private houses, were full —ve full, indeed, that it wae past midnight before I could find a place tolay my head, The prople of the placo— outsiders, I mean—were taken by as much surprise as if an invading army from Cubs had entered their quiet town. No public notice of the Convention had been given, and it was not supposed that there were as many Know Nothings in the whole State. It was a subject of considerable discussion what new attraction had been added to Tar river to cause so many to assemble upon its famous banks, Some thdught it was to nominate Fred: Douglass for the Presidency ; others, to sympathize with he Iquor dealers in New York ; but as the members wound their way to a certain hall, Cuily said it was the ‘ Know Noffins.”” As the secret was then out, the Convention com- menced their celiberations, One hundred and tweaty celegates reported themselves, sixty-five of whom were formerly democrats and fifty-five whigs. Tne reports rom the Ciflerent sections of the istrict represent the party to be in » higbly peosperous codition. Councils are being established at every crossroad, and ‘ Saquel’’ was ina very bappy state of mind as these good reports came in, which inly indicated that the nominee would be elected. James B. Shepard, of Raleigh, was the unanimous choice of the convention. Mr. Shepard has heretofore been a consistent and popular democrat, and is fully qualified to meet any man on the stump, which he will soon take in advocacy of Americanism ‘the present rep- resentative from this district, Mr. Rogers, ies young wan of great prom’se and ability, but 1 am told declines a renomination, and with his influence and that of other trength of that pard, Divisions and contentions are already in the ranks of the democratic party. Their first nominee, George W. Thcmpson, dec:ines; another is goon to be selected that will stand fire, anc Hon Abrabam Venable has declared bis intention to cake the stump as an independent candi: date against the nominee of his own and the American party. Mr, Venable while in Congress a few years since, gained for himseif a kind of Wise notoriety, and before going into this micrisnary labor, will well supply him- self with “Bibles and fine tooth combs.’’ He may rest assured if ho coms out all the Know Nothings in nis dis- trict, he will get come awful big hauls, and meet mary familar faces. Political excitement in this State is approaching fever heat; the old political bucksters are confounded at the progress of the Know Nothings, and hardly dare pour out their bile before their intimate friends, leat they be of the mynterious order. There is plenty of fun iu store fer all to have a feast. MA.S. Winaaxarox, (N. ©.,) May 26, 1855. The Trade and Traders of Wilmington —Reminiscences of Fred Douglass—Business Dull—Politics—The Know Nothings—Their Prospects and Abolitionism. Large towns and cities, like great men, have their strong and weak points, their beauties and sights un- seermly, their notables an@ notorious characters. ‘Wilmington is the largest city in the State of North Carolina, and as vessels of medium size readily approach ber wharves, it is the great commercial town of the State. Large quantities of turpentine, rosin, tar, cotton, lumber, &c. are bere shipped to New York and other ports. Many of the commission houses here will com: pare well with those in much larger cities, both in size, amount of business transacted and profits. A more in: telligent and better looking set of business men I have seldom met than those on Water street. Perhaps their intelligewce may be accounted for im part from the fact that nearly all are constant readers of the Hsrarp. Of all Nortbern papers, itis first and most read. Occa- sionally you will hear an administration officeholder cursing it for not sustaining the President and Cabioet it kelped create; yet, knowing as they do that the acsu- sations and denunciations af the Henan are strictly jast and true, the people, knowing that no man would sus- tain such an administration except for the spoils of office, construe their curses into praisos, and as one of the very best of arguments in favor of ‘ Bewnertr’s Unt- VeRSAL Beraup.”” ‘The old residents of this place can tell one more of the early history of Fred Douglass than any of the abolitioviets of the North. Here is where his master lived. If Fred would oaly come back no doubt tne citi- wpa would give hin a hearty reception—a rde abo town with the same span of borses he left tied in the awamp. Business is very dull, provisions scarce, ani higher at retail than in New York. Money tighter than an old soaker on an election cay; yet the people will not permit all of these depressing influences combined to preveat them from epjoying something of life as it flits away, Political excitement is beginning to rua high he ¢, as in other sections, and all ara standing on tip toe to catch further tidings from Virgivia, Safficwat has been received to show that the Know Nothings have Jost the day; but Sam’s boys are not at all dis; i up the fight, because they believe that Flournoy nas been defeated through the misrepresentations maie by Wise & Co., and their slur of sboiitioniam which they have attempted, and perhaps successfally, to cast upon the American psrty. These foul imputations they are sure will be dispelled like the moraing dew, by the action of the National Council in June. If that body sball see fit to give them a conservative de- claration of principles, as it is believed they will do, and cfliciay publish it to the world as such, then will they bucble on the armor and manfully fight for our country, our whole country. The cbilling winds of the Macsa- chusetts abolitionists have blown this way and slightly chilled some tender plants, but those of matarity haye escaped unharmed.’ Those which bave been, slighty frost bitten will, it is hoped, be entirely restored by the congenis] breezes which the National Council will’ waft from Philadelphia, to all psrts of our beloved Union. There is no disputing the point that the siur of aboli- tioniem which has been cast upon the American party, has had the effect to check its progress temporarily at the South, for no Southern man will join the Order as Jong aa there is any doubt on that question. The Na- tional Council have it in their power to wipe out this stain and place their party upon high national grounds —so high that the poisonous arrows of abolitiontsm, disuniontsts and fiers cannot harm {t.

Did you ever, Mr. Editor, take a trip on a steamboat drawing the enormous depth of fifteen inches of water? If you havn’t, I have; and if I could only ait myself co- sily ¢own by the side of the Hxratp’s numerous read ers I coukd tell them some rich things seen and heard during that trip; but when such things are transferred to paper, like great men’s speeches, they lose half of their beauty and point. Wishing to get from Wilmington to this place, and not having any great fancy for a night’s stage riding, I con- cluded to take the boat up the Cape Fear river, ‘The long centinued drought in this section of the country bad #0 reduced the river as to render it fordable at near- ly every poiot; by the ‘tall rase of North Carolinians,” #0 that we were obliged to take a boat that could awim onits face or back, and wade, if necessary, and short enough togracefully turn the corners of ‘Devil’s 1- bow’ and ‘Pall and be d—d,’’ such being soma of the classic names given by the nomenclators who early na- vigated the Cape Fear. Of course our little craft had a0 splendid state rooms, yet we had two comfortable places called ladies’ and gentlemen’s cabins, the former con- taining six and the latter nine berths; and report said ‘wecame very near having one birth, bat as neither priest nor physician, was on board, it was conclad- ed to emit the part not inthe b'll ‘till amore conve- nient season. Then, from some unknown cause, one kind hearted old lady refused to stay in the Indica’ cabin at night. Some said it was because ‘the boat was going to bust her bier, and she knowed it was,’’ and she felt safer to be near the cold blooded men. Hot water or steam could not certainly burn her in sash a situation. But the dear old Indy was not disposed to trust herself entirely with such , and to far ther insure her safety, provided “biler did bust,’” abe enveloped herself in flannel Dblankeje with an inated life preserver upon each limb, and with two servants oy her sie, as iy guard, she endeavored to worry out a little sleep.

The first salutation I had yesterday on my arrival, was, “Have s New YORK Heratp, sir?’ Of course I took a Herap, This morning, to my astonishment, I receiv- ed the Hrratp of the 12thinst. AsI passed up from the hotel, my ears were saluted every now and then—"‘Have you got your New York Hexatp of the 12th?” Now don’t blame Uncle Sam #0 much about the mails; taking all things into consideration, if your bundle of Heratps gets out this farin seven dayr, tis pretty well, and if your subscribers and readers don’t complain, you should not. So much for the HERALD. Now tor the Navy Yard here. I paid a visit to the (great fouthern Navy Yard.” ‘Tis a beautiful yard, one of great dimensious. They have, in the first place, a dry dock built of wood; cost I don’t know bow much—a million, or probably a millon anda half, All well—but it will require, for the first five years, from thirty to fifty thoutand dollars a year to keep it in re- pair, and after ten years it will have to be rebuilt at the tune of a couple or three hundred thousand dol- lars. As far as I am concerned, I have no objection to expending millions on this yard, as@ great Southera naval station, one in time of war that must be of grat importance to the country; but I do say, letus haves permanent stone dry dock at all our navy yards, and not the miserable wooden structures. So much for the dock. Now for the improvements in the yard. Most of the timber sheds and store houses are of one story, and back from the water. The same roof would have covered a two story buikiing, giving to the conveniences of the yard for building and equipping an elegant lott. Well, all there things belong W navy men. They must be ac- countable for these blunders and errors of judgment, ‘The United States sloop-of-war Falmouth, Capt Shaw, is off the Navy Yard refitting, caulking and painting, and boats going and coming, so that all seemed harry and bustle, Idid not goon board in comseqtence, oat rambled about the yard, examining the various work shops. Im one of them I saw a dozen men at work on gun carriages; others on boats and masts, &e. I saw an officer busily engaged about the fine looking man, whose eyes seemed to mark the man of energy. His manees was evidently acceptable to the working men, judging from their replies, and the it smile seeming to play about their faces, as Le enorgetically urged on them— “T beg you push on the work, and let me have the gun carriages ready at the earliest day.” Ihave got his name. The master workman repli “Ind apt. Shaw, we'll Jeave nothing undone to ¢' the earliest moment.’”” e captain passed out of this shop—we saw him enter the smithy. In our rambles wa got into the boat shea; there he was, examining boats deing painted, Nex’. wo saw him in the nail loft. Ae this was alinew and carious to us, we contiaued oar inquiries, and followed up the capts:n of the Falmouth. Our information obtained here, proves you ara right in there being much rotcen in Denmark (curnavy). Toere is no only “old fogies”” im the mavy, but “young fogie: The Falmouth was sent to sea in December last, with sealed orders, She did not get off the coast one haw- dred miles before she leabed to such @ degree that it became to some on bosrd alarming. I was told by a person on board, that an offi:er proposed to Cap: Shaw to turn back and fire a gun for pilot, aad his reply was, ‘No, sir, not as long as the pumps will fres ber.” ‘then, whe officer, ‘T beg you, sir, ateer for Bermuda.” ‘0, sir; she shail swim or sink, before I’li Aisgrace our dockyard and our navy by going into an English dockyard for repsirs, and only tenyhours at sea 1yom our own.”” You remember he pashed her on to St Thomas, W. I., aud mace his repairs. My informant says, “Our Captain is the devil at going to quarters— exercising at target practice cay or might, and on our second or third target firing more than half of the gun carriages broke down—axletrees and dumb tracks—he called them rotten! Whata pretty fix would the officers and crew of this ship, and her commander, jbave beea in, if they bad been called on to fight their guns! This is the secret of this building new aad rey old gan carriages at the navy yard bere for the Fatmouth ”” Ihave heard it said bere, thas the ordnance officera who permitied the ship to go to sea with euch gun car- riages, should be dismissed the navy. It 1s a subject of conversation in the room next where I am writing, and iviafreely commented on. She isatwenty gun ship; I 61d not go on board, as I have said. My informant told me she cannot the guns mouated in her—six- teen 32 pounders, and four 8-inch shell guns of 66 hun- dred pounds each, placed in the centre of the chip. When she was a new ship, she carried, they told me, 24 pounders, Now she is an old ship, aud they put on her twenty very large and heavy guns, Whether this is ‘ old fogyiam’’ er ‘ young fo; a” ‘tis very absurd.
