He relates to us that on Wed. jesday night of last week, while himself Dan- wi A. Fiske, (son of Daniel Fiske,) Jobo Peck. yam, and Sterry Knight, were sitting and read. ng in a back room of Fiske’s house, they were yddeoly roused by a loud rapping on the, dgor siding into the yard. They went to the door, yyi ound no one there. ‘he rapping was re- peated but atill saw no one. Mr, Comstock ‘yen went out and stood where he could see the | jour, suspecting that it might be the work of some one who wished to practice some decep- jon upon the family—and watched to see what sroduced the noise. ‘The rapping was repeat. sd, and was heard by him; but no one could be jeen. it continued through the evening, while jeveral of the party were watching the door ‘com the outside, but no clue could be obtained » the cause of the sounds.

VU—NUMBER 8. FES HIS reusy 6 e ~ we = Ps ad - SALISBURY, N. C., THURSDAY, JULY 4, 1850. The Pennsylvania correspondent of the St. Lovis Republican, May 3d, relates the. fellow- ing occurrence ; ; A young man recently made bis escape from the galleys at Toulouse. He was strong and vigorous. and soon made his way across the country. and escaped pursuit. | He-arrived the next morning before a.cottage ia an open field. and stopped to beg something to eat and con- cealment while he reposed a Jittle. But be found the inmates of the cottage in the greatest distress. Four little children sat trembling in a corner, their mother was weeping and tear- ing her hair, and the father was walking: the floor in agony. The galley slave asked what was thé matter, and the father replied that they were that morning to be turned out of doors because they could not pay the rent. ‘ You see me thus driven to despair,” said the father, “my wife and little children without food or shelter, and I without the means to provide for them.” The convict listened to this tale with tears of sympathy, and then said: “I will give you the means. I have bot just escaped from the galleys ; whoever secures and takes back an escaped prisoner is entitled to a reward of fifty francs—how much does your rent amount to 7” “ Forty francs,” answered the father. “ Well,” said the other, “ put a cord around my body, I will follow you to the city, they wilt recognise me, and you will get fifly francs for bringing me back.”—* No, never |” exclaimed the astonished listener, “my children should starve a dozen times before I would do so base a thing.” The generous young man insisted, and de- ‘clared at last that he would give himself up, if the fathér would not consent to tak@ him. Af. ter a long struggle the latter yielded, and tak- ing him by the arm led him to the city and to the mayor’s office. Every body was surprised that a little man like the father had been able to capture such a strong young fellow, but the proof was before them; the fifty francs were paid and the prisoner sent back to the galleys. But after he was gone, the father asked a pri- vate interview of the mayor, to whom he told the whole story. The mayor was so much at- fected that he not only added fifiy francs On Friday night the rapping commenced a. gain in good earnest, and was continued with | such vigor that the inmates began to fear for | ihe walls of the house. In the course of the evening, however, one «f the gentlemen nam. >d had an errand to the ,work-shop near by, sud the others accompanying him, gave his | glostship an opportunity to change the plan of | aack. On their way to the shop and back | asain, stones nearly as large as a man’s head | were thrown past them with the swiftness of | lightning ; and, on reaching the yard gate, one | was seen to strike the pavement in the yard | with a great deal of foree, and was searched | fur, but could not be found. Another seemed | ofall into a basket by the door, and the bas- | ket rocked and tumbled about as though some | one had hold of it, but nothing touched it, and 92 stone could be found. In the house, and | while all were sitting quietly at least ten feet from the fire place, a lighted lamp on the man. iel-piece leit its place, whirled swiftly over several times, and alighted in the middle of the floor, where it almost immediately went out.— On searching for it, it was found, “ right side | ap,” under @ meal chest, at the back of the | room. A casteiron hook or handle for remov. | ing the covers of the cooking stove left its | place, also, and alighted in the middle of the | floor—no one at the time being within reach- | ing distance of it. The falling of these arti- | les, Mr. Comstock says, resembled the firing of a gun, or the falling of a very heavy weight upon the floor. Soon atter this, Mr. Peckham attempted to | aii down when his chair was snatched from him by some unseen hand, and thrown . across | more to the father’s purse, but wrote immedi. ately to the minister of justice, begging the no- ble young prisoner’s release. The minister examined into the affair, and finding that it was comparatively a small offence which had con. demned,the young man tothe galleys, and that he had already served out half his time, he or- dered his release. Is not the whole incident beautiful ? Beauty of Jewesses.—It is related that Chat. eaubriand, on returning from his Eastern trav. els, was asked if he could assign a reason why the women of the Jewish race were so much handsomer than the men, when he gave the fol- lowing one :—* Jewesses,” he said, have es- caped the curse which alighted upon their fath. less husbands, and sons. Not a Jewess was to be seen among the crowd of priests and rabble who insulted the Son of God, scourged Him, crowned him with thorns, and subjected Him to infamy and the agony of the,cross.— The women of Judea believed in the Saviour and assisted and soothed Him under affliction. A woman of Bethany poured on his head pre- cious ointment, which she kept in a vase of al- abaster. The sinner annointed bis teet with perfumed oil, and wiped them with her hair.— Christ, on his part, extended mercy to the Jew- ess. He raised from the dead the son of the widow of Nain, and Martha’s brother Lazarus. He cured Simon’s mother-in-law, and the wo. 'man who touched the hem of his garment.— To the Samaritan woman he was a spring of living water, and a compassionate judge to the woman in adultery.

The Bible distributer, iv the prosecution of | bis. benevolent. work, meets with many interest: ing and amusing ineidents.. His work brings him in contact with all classes and. descriptions of men. Many receive him kindly ; and bid him God. speed in his work. In the estimation of such, the Bible is above all price. They accept or purchase it with tears of gratitude. A: few months since, a: young woman, who had grown up in. profound ignorance, not know ing one letter from anotheria'the-alphabet, was induced to learn to read, by the free school, and by the kindoess of @ pious woman. who of- fered to board her, for her service night and morning, while she went to school. She had made some progress ; and began to spell words of two sylables, Having beard that a Bible ageot was in the neighborhood, she came and desired a Bible. When asked if she could read, she said her parents bad no Bible, and she was not able to pay for one; but if she had one, she would read it as seon as she could and would esteem it very highly. She was fur- nished with a Bible; and who can calculate the results which may spring from this incident? In one instance, a man was found who had reared 21 children to men and women. He was eighly-six years old, bad never owned a Bible ; and refused to pay for one. When a man was asked, if he wanted a Bi- ble, he replied “ yes, if I can get one of our denfomination’s Bible.” Another one, when asked a similar question, replied, “he would pay for a Bible, if he could get one written by John the Baptist.” Another oue wanted a Bi- ble in which he might record the ages of his children. Another one wanted a Bible, be. cause the preacher had promished to spend a night with him soon; and he might want to read and pray. In one case, a large family Bible served an old woman and her three sons. settled around her. They had w year about. In another case, when a man was asked if be wanted a Bible, he replied, * No.” His fath- er-in-law hada big family Bible, which he ex- pected his wife would get when the old man died; and it would be useless to have two. M.S. BURNING OF THE STEAMER GRIF. FITH. The Cleveland Herald furnishes some fur- ther particulars of this sad catastrophe, as fol- lows: We have the painful record to make of the most terrible calamity that has ever o@éurred on our inland seas. The soul sickens at the details. In a moment some three buudred per- sons were aroused from the bealtbful sleep of morning to enter upon the sleep that knows no waking. How true that*'in the midst of life we are in death.” A large portion of the pas- sengers were foreign emigrants, from Germa. ny, who had left their native land, crossed the ocean in safety, and perished almost in sight of the homes of their adoption. How sad the wail that will be wafted to the Fatherland— kindred separated, and whole families cut off and buried by stranger hands ! The steamer Griffith, when about fourteen miles below Cleveland, about four o’clock this (Monday) morning, was discovered to be on fire around her smoke pipe, on the main deck. She was about three miles from shore. The second mate, on the watch, gave orders to run her ashore. The boat was then headed for shore, and when about half a mile from the shore she struck a bar, and before the flames burst out ahove. Immediately alter she struck, the flames burst out in forward and after cabin and pilot house. An officer gave word to the passengers to save themselves. Captain Roby gave orders for the woodpiles to be thrown over, which was dune. The cabin and deck passengers were then jumping over in crowds. Several shocking cases of cruel personal chastisement inflicted’ upon children by their own parents, have recently been made the subject of isvestigation in oor police courts, and occasioned considerable animadversion in the newspapers. Cases such as these, however, which come to light, and obtain public exposure, bear.an infinitely small proportion to those which are never heard of, except, perhaps, by immediate neighbors, whoare occasionally horrified by the shrieks of mal-treated children. We also bear, from time to time, of parents who lock up their ebil- dren in backrooms, where they are half- starved, and beaten at frequent intervals. We believe that. a monstrous amount of cruelty is inflicted upon children in this and in similar ways, of which people in general bave no suspicion. But the pa- rents, when brought to justice for misde- meanors of this kind, are never without their excuses: the children have been “in- corrigible,” “unruly,” “wicked,” “aggrava- ting.” and so on; and it is alleged that, “nothing will mend them but blows” which, however, never do. . There is surely a terrible want of heart as well as judgment in this ferocious manner of dealing with the sbort-camings and faults of children.. Parents seem to be absurd enongb to suppose that their children.can, at will, exercise the qualities of trained and cultivated beings. At their very enterance into life, when only the physical powers imperfectly developed, and while the animal wil] and instinct entirely predominate over the moral_and intellectual nature, which bas scarcely yet germinated, they are expected to exhi- bit self command, self government, truth- fulness, abstinence, uprightuess,.and those other moral frpits which usually blassom in adult years, and generally reach their full stature only in advanced life. And do those parents who are so ready to treat the faalts of their children with such -vi- olence, themselves display in their own character the qualities which they de- mand from their children? A child is cross. makes a noise, throws down a toy and breaks it, beats his younger brother, orsets up a shout of screaming when he is told to do something he does not like; and, forthwith his parent runs at him, smacks him on the side of the head, brings down the birch over his back, strips and thrashes him, or even knocks him down on the spot! Is this the exhibition of pa- tience, forbearance, temper, and sense, which is caleulated to exemplify to the child the good conduct which his parent desiresin him? Is it not rather the very worst possible example for the child, and calculated to make him more cress, more cruel, and more regardness in his future conduct ? Parents should also consider that the faults of their children are, for the most part, but the continuation or copies of their own. They, themselves, in originating the hodies of their children, originated their minds, temperaments, and moral dis- positions ; and it would be quite as ra- tional, in most cases. for the parents to flog and punish ‘themselves, as to flog and punish their offspring because they dis- play the imperfections of nature which they have inherited from those who gave them being. A child does not make its | own temper, nor has any control. while | a child, over its direction ; but cruel and |) athand. 7 issommary and prompt ; and ‘the child becomes insensih ‘to lay. the foundation ef the bad character, ‘doubt whatever, that the commands over oe — Smead its immediate effects are apparent.

But it cannot, we think, fail to be perceived by any one whogives his or her attention for a moment. to the subject,. that the-consequence of a physical force training and correction of children, are exceedingly deleterious to their futare. moral character.

Cuffee.“ Dick, what make you have that and fear. And when you havethusmsso- jy gly buach of hair under the chin ?” ciated in the mind of the child the idea of command over the will of.others by means of pain, you have done all that you can, the bad son, the bad boy, the bad husband, the bad father, the bad neighbor, the bad citizen. Parents may not think ofthis when they. are flogging their children, and beating them into their.own faults ; | but it: is so, nevertheless. There is no the wills of others by means of pain, leads to all the several degrees of vexation, in- justice, craelty,oppression and tyranny.— “Tt is,intrath,” says Mill. “the: grand source of all wickedness, of all tbe evil that man brings apon man.” The child soon learns its power in the same way. It cries for a toy, and by the annoyance which it causes to the nurse, succeeds in obtaining it. “It thus learns to-cry for all that it wants, and becomes a little tyrant before it can watk; and then the child is said to be “spoilt.” . But the parent oF nurse brings the same power of pain to bear upon the child in tarn; it is beaten because of some fault or excess, and thus the lesson of tyranny is practically enforc- ed and impressed upon the young mind. But many parents entertain the notion that it is necessary to “break the will” of the perverse child. They do not :re- flect that the strong will forms the foun- dation of-the strong and decided character that, without strength of will, there will , be no strength of purpose,—fhat when the will is ‘thouroughly cowed and broken. man is reduced to the abject state of the crawling crouching slave. No fallacy is more dangerous than that to which we refer. What is necessary, is, not to break which is to destroy, but to educate ‘the will; and this is not to be done through the agency of force or fear, the faculty of Dick—“Cuffee, you booby, don’t you see eb- ery gentleman haa what de white fulke call the goatee—without de goatee no man de gentle- man.” Cuffee—“ Why Dick, I thought gentlemen read books and thereby get knowledge, learn honesty and good behaviour.

Strength of the Sword Fish.—Another illus. tration of the well known power and agility of the Sword Fish, the furmidable enemy of the whale, was discovered by the workmen engag- ed in repairing the brig Leonidas, whaler, at this port, a day or two since. In searching for the cause of a leak, which had occurred du- ring her last voyage, it was found that the side of the vessel had been penetrated quite through, including the copper sheathing and two thick- nesses of solid oak plank, sot less than five inches, by the sword of one of these fish. ‘The sword was about twelve inches in length, and had produced a seam by splitting a plank at its entrance. It was broken off smeothiy at the side of the vessel.—[ New Bedford Mercury. . of+ by the husband. a resident of this city, had ris” If the parent | has conferred an irritable temperament | upon the child, is it not rather a duty on his or her part, to exercise the greater, self-control, forbearance, and patience, so | ithat the powerful influence of daily ex | ample may, in course of time, correct and modify the defects of birth ? | Parents, we believe, are too apt to cor- rect their children, while themselves un- | der the influence of ill temper.

We can never think. without pity, of the | parent who.Jost a noble and promising | son by death, and was haunted through | life after by the recollection of his paren | tal severity. “My boy,” he said to a friend, “ was used to.think me severe, and he had too m@ieh.reason to dg.so; he did not know how [loved him from the bot. tom of my heart; and if is ngw too lute.” We believe that the government of | men and children, by means. 6f physical force, is very much on the decline among intelligent persons at this day; indeed Mrs Carlyle seems to be the only writer, who continoes to lift up his voice in its favor; but, sti, it is a great deal toa prevalent in practice. Whipping and scourging are not by any means, abandoned by fathers, and mothers in their domestic menage ; although the number of cases of aggrava- ted cruelty, which come to light in the police courts, may be, for obvious reasons comparatively small. Force is felt to be are converted, by the mismanagement of parents, into its curses. The bravest and strongest men are those educated by love and not by fear. The Goths held that, to inflict blows upoo a boy was to destroy his courage ; and they carefully abstained from it. The Quakers among ourselves have long been | in the practice of rearing tranquil and brave children-souls, without the aid ofa cane; and we know of several schools. which have turned out the very finest specimens of youthful character, where the scourge has been entirely dispensed with. It speaks to reason, as we have seen, that it should be so. (There may, however, be cases where a physical pun- ishment is justifiable ; but these, as we believe, form the rare’exceptions ; and our remarks apply entirely to that indisc inate ose of physical punishment, which we hold to be so injurious to the moral Another observation, with which we would conclude our article, is this :—that the practice of punishing children by blows teaches them cruelty to other living ob- jects which are in their power.

REID AND INTERNAL IMPROMB: MENTS—“HARMONY” IN THE RAP ‘The position of the Democratic Candidate'fur: Governor upon the subject of Luternal improve. meen cbeutd ie ri Soe to every voter in the State; and take occasion, shortly, to show, ftom the Legisiaiice journals, what bis uniform course bas been on the premises. It woul! seem hafdly necessary, however, to refer to his votes and course during the time he ecco- pied @ seat in the Legislature, as it is pretty generally understood hereabouis, that one of the principal reasons for his nomination was, that was thought he was.almostthe only pro- mineat member uf the Demoeratie party, who was not in. some way or other comnritted on the question of Improvement. 1 was wel) upder- stood among the jeaders of the late Convention, that no man who favored, in the least. the scheme of Iniernal Improvement, adopted hy the last Legislature, or also held the doctrine that the State ought to be connected in any manner with works of this kind, could receive the suffrages of the people of the strangest De. mocratic Counties in the State. It was yot only feared, but koown, that the anti-interna] im. provement wing of the Democracy would eup- port no man who held opinions adverse to theirs, and the Improvement men readily adopied the suggestion “to muke no test for office but that ot Democracy.” Mr. Reid, then, glands be. fore the people of North Carolina opposed to every thing like Improvement, hosfile to all works which have been projected for the ad. vaacement of the interests and the elevation of the character of the State, and the friend of ** the stand-still and vce system which has prevailed inthe Old North fur so many years, and which has so long kept her far in the rear of her sister States. If the position of Mr. Reid be adverse to In. ternal Improvement, it remains to be seen how his Democratic friends, in various sections of the State, who are avowedly supporters of a lib- eral system, will act in the present campaign. In some Counties we have been informed that tere are Democratic Candidates, who are run. ning upon this very ‘question, and hope to be elected upon their advocacy of it. In Craven, for instance, the Democratic Candidate is out strongly in favor of Rail Roads eastward ; as far down as Newbern. How then, with the least show of consistency, can he and his friends sustain Mr. Reid fur Governor, when it is known that he is directly and positively oppos. ed to all works of Improvement? Can they so far forget what belongs tohigh. minded, honest and independent men, and 30 disregard their own interests, as to vote for a man simply be. cause he is a Democrat, and that too when it is certain that be will not only do nothing to pro. mote their interests, but all in bis power to de- feat their wishes and efforts? We do not be. lieve they will. The people of North Caroli. na, and particularly the section about Newbern havd felt, and now feel too etalk the many disadvantages under which they labcr, to be gulled into the belief that State matters ought not to ‘influence them in the coming elections, and that they ought “to make nothing but De. mocracy.-@ teat for office?” It will be found, when time for voting comes, that the people have discovered that State politics have more to do with State elections than “ National is. sues,” Too long bgye the true interests of N. C. been overlooked and neglected for the sake of national parties, and the tiine has arrived, when men, looking at things in their true light and ansious for the welfare of themselves and those to come after them, will burst the bonds that bind them to party, and refuse to be whip. ped in to the support of an indixidual, because he may agree withthem upon national meas. vres. The question will present ilself to eve. ry thinking man, whether the election of Da. vid 8. Reid will be more beneficial to the State than the success of the cause of Internal Improvement? He stands upon the old, the “true” Democratic doctrine. He will oppose as faras he can all connection of the State with any public work. And lee some of the Locofvcos, who have declared that they would support no man who entertained thie old doc. trine, have given in their adhesion to him, and will doubiless be among his warmest advocates during ‘this campaign, Out upon such incon. sistency and hollow. hearted duplicity ! The Demovratic party of the State stand, too, upon the platform of the Nashvile Convention. They demand the adoption by Congress of Mis- souri Compromise. Here again we see dis. sensions in their ranks. What says “ Father Abram?” “I would have my right arm torn rom its socket befere I would vote for the Miss. ourt Compromise !” And as * Father Abram” has beew the * Standard’s” right hand man, as it haw endorsed him so often for his soundness, we have no duubt that this consistent sheet has been as etrongly opposed as he has, to the adoption of this Compromise. Mr. Calhoun was opposed to it. Mr. Davis, of Mississippi, rejected it in the Senate. Judye Strange ap. _ proves of the plan of adjustment of the Commit. tee of Thirteen, (Was this the reason why he was selected to preside over the late Demo. cratic Conventiun?) The “ Fayetteville Car. olinian,” * Wilmington Journal,” and others we cannot now think of, have expressed their appreral of it. The Resolutions of the Locofoco Convention are & queer batch. The 24 charges Gen. Tay- lor “with having failed in- the discharge of his high functions, by committing them to his Cab- inet.” The 6tb charges him with a continued persistence in his * peculiar plan” [as to Cali. fornia, &c.] as “ one out of mafy violations of bis pledge given before his election.” Here it will be seen that he is charged with surren- dering hie powers to his Cabinet.and in the next breath with vqduly persisting iathe exer. cise Of thease powers! And we duubi not that every one of the gentlemen who participated in the concoction of these conflicting resolu- tions, charged Gen. Taylor, before he was elected, with refusing to give any pledges at all! Resolution 3d avows a determination, “ hap- pen what may, to resist all palpable violations of the Constitution.” Resolution ith declares that “the South feels that the Missouri Com. promise detracts from her constitutional rights ; yet for the love of the Union this- Convention is willing to abide by ii, and would cheerfully see all the distracting questions settled on this ba. sis.” And this is the only plan which the Con- vention recommends for such seittlemeat !— What! Could they find nothing elsewhere, is. there nd mode by which the question might be settled without detracting from the constitu-. tional rights of the South? Could this coun. cil of the wise men of the party discover no plan but an unconstitutional one, for settling the question? What becomes of those brave words: put forth in resolution 347 They are all ** sound and fury, signifying nothing.” The Raleigh Register quotes the Hon. A. W. Venable as having said, no longer ago than 1849, “| WOULD HAVE MY RIGHT ARM TORN FROM ETS SOCKET, BEFORE 1 WOULD VOTE. FOR THE MISSOURI COMPROMISE.” But what is not in the resolutions is equally worthy of remark with what isin them. There is not the most remote allusion in them to the Wilmot Proviso! This is accounted for by the fact that David S. Reid not only believes the Wilmot Proviso constitutional, but actually vo- ted for it, in the Oregon Bill, when he was in Congress, on the 16th of Junuary, 1847. Such-are the regolutions, and such is the candidate, put forward by the Locofoco Con. ventien of North Carolina, onthe 14th of June 1850. , On the subject of Mr. Reid’s vote, the Ral- eigh Register says,— * Mr. Calhoun, whom they have deified, de. clared that the passage of the Oregon Bill, with the Wilmot Proviso in it, was the opening wedge to the encroachments which are now being at. tempted upon our rights! So said their whole Party, yet they ask the People of North Caroli- na to cast their votes for a man, who surrender. ed theit rights and honor and opened the doors’ of the citadel to Free Soilers and Abolitionists —aye, to sustain David S. Reid, whose name stands recorded upon the Journals of the House of Representatives in favor of that same Bill, with the Wilmot Proviso shining forth as its most prominent feature! What a monument of infamy to him, is this vote, and what a mon- ument of the inconsistency of Locoism is his nomination ! “ Let our friends hold them to the record.— Make them “ face the music.” What a charm. ing friend to the South!

Mr. Reid’s Card, which appeared in the Standard just before the Democratic Con- vention, was looked upon by all who saw it, both friends and opponents.- as a posi- tive refusal to permit his name to go be- fore the Convention as a candidate.—— Nevertheless, it leaks out that his nomin- ation was the result or “ assurances” that he would accept. And strange as it may appear, the resalt has justified the “ assu- rances” given. How comes it that, so soon after the publication of Mr. Reid’s card of withdrawal, he should have friends ready to assure the Convention he would adopt a contrary course? Mr. Reid may have been altogether candid, as well as modest, ig the expression of his purpose to have his name withheld from the Con- vention; we do not accuse him of any jugglery on the occasion ; but he has suf.- fered zealous friends to place him in a very awkward position. That “ assurances” of Mr. Reid’s ac- ceptance were given, in the face of his positive withdrawal, we fairly judge from the Standard’s report of the remarks of Mr. Shepherd, of Cumberland, in the Con- vention. He said: “Under the impression which had gen- erally prevailed, that Col.

The ground for this. building has been laid off, on Dix Hill, near this city, and Mr. John R. Harrison is now engaged in making the necessary excavations for the | foundation. Mr. Lane of Rockingham, is now making the brick, Mr. MeNight of Greensboro’ is to lay them ; and Mr. Col- burn has contracted for the stone work. The wood work has not yet been let out. The site for this Asylum is the most commanding, perhaps, in the vicinity of the place ; and if a good supply of water so essential to such an institution,.can be found, the location will no doubt turn-out to be a most favorable one. The building will be in full view of Raleigh, and is to be, when completed, about six. hundred and eighty feet in‘length. The amount‘appropriated, by the last session, the grounds ‘buildings, &c. is about $80,000.

Territory, which then belonged to the United States; and, as there is no provision in the Ordi- nance making it applicable to any other Territory, afterwards to be acquired, it results, necessarily, that it had no applica- bility tothe Oregon Territory. This is what we mean to prove, but, before pre- ceeding further with this proof, we will state ‘another fact, which even the Stan- lergiversation, cannot deny, and which it is important should be made known, to enable our people daly to appreciate David S. Reid’s treachery to their interests. It is we known that our title to Oregon was parchased, with Louisiana and Flor- ida, from France and Spain, and that, therefore, the Oregon Territory came in, as emphatically slave Territory, just as much as the North Western was free Territory! These purchases were made twenty or thirty years after the Ordinance was applied to the North Western Terri- tory, ceded by Virginia. Such was the the Oregon bill, with the_principle of the Wilmot Proviso in it without the compro- mise feature of the Missouri live. * We charge, therefore, again—and we intend to reiterate the charge again and {again that David S. Reid deserted the South and her best interests, in this hour of trial and difficulty, and went over to the Sree-soilers of the North—that he voted away Territory that came tn as slave Ter- ritory!!> We-leave it to the unbiased judgement and sound sense of the people, to say, whether we are not fully sustained in making those charges by the additional evidence which follows. a Mr. Calhoun published in the Pendleton Messenger of July 14 1849, a reply to. Benton’s speech delivered in the capital of Missouri, in which he used the follow- ing language ; “Very different (from the Missoori Compromise.) was the case in refference to the Oregon Bill, passed at the session preceeding the last. There the North contended for the absolute right to exclude Slavery from all the Territories ; and an- nounced their determination to do so, against the efforts of the South fo compro. mise the question by extending the Miss- ouri compromise line to the Pacific Ocean. The offer was scornfully refused, and the bill passed without any Compromise. It was intended indeed to be the practical as- sertion of the naked princtple,and Congress. had the power cluimed for it, of pussing the Wilmot proviso. It was the first act of the kind ever passed, &c.” Mr. Benton says, in the speech de- livered at Lexington onthe 7th July 1849 that he introduced the amendment into the Oregon bill, that passed it with the Wilmot proviso attached; and it was done to assert the unlimited power of Con- gress over Slavery inthe Territories.— And that, as a naked, absolute, uncondi- tional, exercise of the unlimited power of Congress over the whole sudyect, the Ore- gon bill with the anti-slavery clause, re- ceived the approving signature of Presi- dent Polk, with ihe sanction of his whole Cabinet. The “ olive branch” referred to by Mr. Calhoun, which was so “ scornfully refus- ed” by the North, was an amendment ofiered by Mr. Burt, of South Carolina, to the Wilmot Proviso as it stood in the Or- egon bill, in the following words: “ Inasmuch, as the whole of said Terri- tory lies north of 36 deg. 30 min. North latitude. known as the line of the Missouri Compromise.” That amendment was rejected, and Reid afterwards voted for the naked Wilmot Proviso. ! As to Mr. Polk’s approval of the Oregon bill, Maj. Thomas a locofoco member of Congress from Polk’s own district in Ten- nessee, declares that he voted for it, be- cause the President sent for him and per- suaded him to do so—and that Mr. Polk recognized the power in Congress to in- sert the Wilmot proviso into a Territorial bill for the Government of Oregon! Such is the history of this question.— Will the “Standard” assert that Mr. Polk wonld have signed any bill he deemed unconstitutional—or that Reid would have voted for a bill he dee unconstitution- al? So far from Reid's believing it so, we have always understood that he de- fended this vote, upon the ground tha- Congress had the power to insert the print ciple of the Wilmot Proviso in the bill, and that he once wrote a letter to that effect! Did he ever write such a ietter ? But we have not qaite done. Although it is said tobe unlawful to make a man stultify himself, we mean that Holden shalt witness. against himself in this 3, Weshall thos have a couple of these -Locofecos—Gen.

Reg. THE CAROLINA WATCHMAN, Salisbury, N.C. THURSDAY EVENING, JULY. 4, 1850. - MR. REID. WILL BE ELECTED ! We cannot resist the impression that Mr. Reid will defeat Mr. Manly in this election.— It begine to Jook like. it already. We learn from a gentleman that he met several wagons from the west a few days ago, and some of the boys with the wagon cried “ hurra for Reid.” This led uur friend to stop and: tell them “that he was for Reid too. Presently the men of the wagon came up, and in a few minutes: declar. ed that they were for Reid. They had voted. for Manly before, they said, but they were go- ing to vote for Reid this time. And not only that, they said the people of the west were go ing to do tt.— Fay. Caroliaian. : Now although we do not know what part of | the West these wagoners hail from, yet there is one thing about this stery which we cannot fully credit: Fhat these men bad voted for Manly at the last election and intend to op- pose him in the present contest. There may be a few such in the West, but we do not think it probable that several could be found together at once, It is quite certain that those about here who were not, at one time, cordial in their feel: ings of approbation of Gov. Manly, will yet go into the contest in his favor with heart and hand. Our Democratic friends, we find, are very much disposed to chuckle over what they try to think, is certain, the election of Mr. Reid. For the life of us, we cannot» see upon what ground their hope is based, unless it be in the, fact that Mr. Reid was once beaten by Mr. Manly.. And how they can extract hope out of that it will require a very smart man to tell. The signs of the times, according to our view of them, indicate a most complete defeat for Mr, Reid. The Whigs hereabouts, and indeed all over the State, have shown, and are showing, that they have an interest at stake in the approaching election which demand their active and zealous attention, and they are sure todo their duty. ‘ Mr, Reid will be elected,” when the Whigs of the old North State abjure their political faith—not before. MR. REID AND THE NASHVILLE CON. VENTION. The spirited editor of the Raleigh Times is reviewing Mr. David Reid’s position as it re- lates to the Nashville Convention. We do not know that Mr. R. bas at any time declared him. self in favor of that pitiful farce; but the Times identifies him with it by virtue of his party association. It says: “ We charge it upon him and hold him to it! The Standard dares not deny it, and claim as a merit for Mr. Reid that he was opposed to the Nashville Convention—for the Standard would repudiate his course, as a true Democrat, when he was abusing the Whigs and everybo.- dy else who did not go for that famous scheme. He called them traitors and tories—he can’t say Mr. Retd opposed it; for that would be to make a traitor and tory of him! How does Davy stand? We want to know! Will he dodge ?—or can he fess? We call the gentle. man impaled !” THE CENSUS TAKERS. We observe that the Register publishes a list of the gentlemen appointed by the Marehal to take the Census for 1850, in the various.Coun.- ties in this State. We respectfully: inquige of that paper if printed Circulars e ne 2D addressed to such of these Censue- - are Whigs, with the view of securing their. ac: | tive exertions in behalf of the Whig cause in the present campaign ? We have a right to put this question, and we shall expect a reply ; but if the Register refus- shall take it for granted that the fact is so. We again warn our friends against secret Whig Circulars, and against false charges in various localitiés, gotten up by unscrupulous Whig leaders with the view of injuring Col. Reid’s prospects. Give.no ear to slanderous réports, or to gross charges violently preferred, We have wily ad- versaries to deal with, and we must therefore be constantly on the alert. The above we take from the “ North Caro- lina Standard” the organ ot North Carolina Locofocoism. And here we would say to the Whigs, be on your guard. When you hear these advocates of disunion and nullification prating about “ secret circulars’ you may be sure some rascally trick is about being prac- ticed by the disunionists. If such was not their design, they would not pretend to fear that the Whigs were going to do it. So look out, the game has already been commenced, and no trick, however ‘mean -or low, will be left un- tried, to revolutianize the State, by the election of David S. Reid—the enemy of every thing which is intended to elevate the character of the State. From the manner in which the Standard opened the campaign, our deliberate opinion was, that falsehood and deception upon every question would be carried to the furthest extent ; and bat their candidates and papers will , | stances, tt is the give the e wy | eha ee occasions course.

It ig (rue, that we once had our fears as to the success of Mr. Manly should he be nominated, .and went so far as to express them. But that our support of the nominee of the Party should be the- subject either of surprise or joy, is what never. would have entered into any good sound head. Our friends have always found ue-doing all in our ‘power to preserve the Whig party as a uni). We feel that we have a consciencious duty. to perform in this respect.. We have, seen enough of Locofocoism to oppose it, as a whole, under all eircumstances anddieguises, © We may be permitted to add that we are pleased to see the “ Nest” is doing its-dyty as a Whig journal in the present canvass. We clip.the following from the .Wilmington Journal, from over the signature of “ Samp. son,” every word of which we approve. We have always regarded the gradation of debts, fixed by law, as most unjust and. unreasonable, and should rejoice to see the Law repealed.— As to the abolishment of Jury trials-in our County Courts, we believe there are but few who would not gladly see it done. Our laws, need alteration and amended -in several email. matters, in order tosecure “ the greatest good of the greatest number.” And first, 1 would instance the law respecting ‘as. sets in the bands of Executors and Administra. tors, The law, as it now stands, not-only divides debts into “ dignified and undignified,” but also allows Executors and Administrators “ a pre. ference” ia the payment of debts. Why should one just debt be more dignified than another ? Where is any dignity aside from justice? Is there any reason why an unfeeling miser, who invades the death bed of a creditor in order.to obtain judgment on a debt of doubtful justice, should be paid the utmost farthing, while he who furnished the dying man’s family with the means of subsistence, during his last hours, should lose the whole, because he did not take judgment the day before the man died ? And again: is there any good reason why an Executor or Administrator should have a preference ae to whom they should pay all, and to whom they should none? How much more dignified, because more just, it would be to pay all just debts. of whatever name, in proportion to the amount of debts and the means of pay. ment. This proposition is self-evident, with. out further argument. Again—I would respectfully urge upon the Legislature the propriety of abolishing Jury. tri- als in our County Courts, for various reagons, some of which I will notice. In the first place, our County Courts (as Ju- ry Courts,) are entirely useless. All that is done in them may be done by Justices of the Peace, out of Court, and by the Superior Courts, ronlge delay. All who are familiar with the subject, know that a large maj of als: from Justices’ sods meats er heb x0 Cael through the County Courts merely to reach the Superior—for there nearly all suits of any im. portance “are. finally. adjudicated, no matter where they commence. What possible rea: son ean be given-for this state of things, ex. cept it be to pdaiper lawyers and officers of the courtgapd-to.occasion vexation, expense and delay to individual Jitigants ? Again + what’ reason can be given why a debt of $101 cannot be recovered, unless bya suit_in the County Court, while a debt of an bundred may be recovered by warrant? What magic influence does this extra dollar exert, that an army of sheriffs, lawyers and jurors are re- quired to counteract? Kossuth and his Compatriots.—President Taylor, through our Minister to Turkey, made intercession in March last, to the Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Porte, im behalf of Kos. suth and other Hungarian Patriots, and offered them a free passage to, and an asylum in, the United States. But the Sublime Porte an. swered by stating that it had bound itself to keep in the Ottoman dominions, those chiefs of the Hongarian people. : Mr. Marsh. our Minister, is not entirely with- out hope, however, that Kossuth and his friends will be released. | Cholera.—This disease is prevailing to a greater or less extent, at Nashville, St. Louis, and New Orleans. Bosion.—The population of this city is lately ascertained to be 138,788. ‘ The Wheat Crop, it appears, has proved a failure to a very considerable extent throughout this State and a part of Virginia.

In this jostling, hurrying world, through which we are all driving with a break-neck speed, there are occasional scenes, whieh serve to soothe the feverish ferment of the passions and banish from the mind the cares and anxieties of life. Scenes which, when past, retain the vividness of present impressions and become prominent land-marks in the history of the past, to which the mind ever loves to turn as to a steady beacon forever burning on the hills of memory; illuminating the path of pleas- ing reminiscences. Such a scene was the Banquet, given by the Masons of Fulton Lodge to the Ladies on the night of the 24th of June, and we doubt not that every individual who was so fortunate as to be present, will hereafter recut to it as one of the most pleasing and prominent inci- dents of the year. The Masonic Hall, beautiful in itself, had been orns- mented and adorned, by the kindness of the ladies, with graceful festoons of evergreen and flowers, and at 22 early hour the light from a dozen chande liers gave it # most brilliant appearance, while at the enterance, the ample arch, adorned with Masonic emblems, and cot- ered with seores of variegated lights, sent forth its bril- liance through the darkness ge ober made the street as jight as at noon day. ntly the jadies made their appearance, and so liberally the neigh- boring counties contributed of their beauty for the oc- casion, that nearly or quite one hundred and fifty ladies were t. ‘Phen it wa’ that the Iustre of those paled and grew dim in presenee of the r- diant light of woman’s eye and woman's smile, for D¢- ver did beanty and loveliness exert a more bewitching power than then. “The hours flew on a wing as sweet lays were sung while jewel’d passed gracefully over the, piano’s tuneful keys. The ladies, ever beautifal, never appeared eo lovely’ as then, and we doubt not that their sweet, winning smiles and be- witching tones of loveliness sank deep into many 2 bear, and that many a spirit, chilled and hardened by th¢ rude contact of the unfeeling world, was reanimst with feelings of love-and devotion for those fair being* whom bath sent to make an Eden of this world of ours. There was much, connected with the pyre of which we might with propriety speak, bat all ‘ was there said and done, is treasured up in the hearts of those who were t ;—there let it remain ; we will not dispel the charm that hangs so pleasantly over tbe me of that evening, by any futile effort of our pen. The supper at Mr. Shaver’s Hotel was in perfect keeping with the enviable reputation of his table.

She comes—thte spirit of the dance ! And bat for thuse large eloquent eyes, Where passion speaks iu every glance, She'd seem 2 wanderer from the skies. So ight that, gazing breathless there, Lest the celestial dream should go, You’d think the music in the air Waved the fair vision to and fro! Or that the melody’s sweet flower Within the radiant creature play’d, And those sweet wreathing arms of snow And white sy!ph feet the music made. Now gliding slow with dreamy grace, Her eyes beneath their lashes lost ; Now motionless, with lifted face, And smalf hand on her bosom cross’d. And now with flashing eyes she springs, Her whole bright figure raised in air, As if her soul had spread its wings And pnised her ong wild instant there! She spoke not: but so richly fraught With language are her glance and smile That, when the curtain fell, I thought She bad been talking all the while. The next suggests its own music :— SHE LOYES HIM ¥ET, She loves him yet! I know by the blush that rises Beneath her curls, That shadow her soul-lit cheek, She loves him yet ! Through all Love's sweet disguises In timid girls, A blush will be sure to speak, But deeper signs Than the radiant blush of beauty, Phe maiden finds, Whenever his name is heard ; Her young heart thrills, Forgetting herse}f—her duty— Her dark eye fills, And her pulse with hope is stirr’d. She loves him yet !— The flower the false one gave her, When last he came, Is stil] with her wild tears wet. She'll ne’er forget, Howe’er his faith may waver, Through grief and shame, Believe it, she loves him yet! Her favorite*songs She will sing—she heeds ng other ; With all her wrongs Her life on his love is set. Oh! doubt no more! She never can wed another ; Till life be o'er, She loves—she loves him yet! THB REQUIEM. The hand that swept the sounding lyre With more than mortal skill, The lightning eye, the heart of fire, The fervent lips are still. No more, in rapiure or in woe, With melody to thrill, Ah! nevermore! Oh ! bring the flowers she cherish’d so, With eager child-like care: For o'er her grave they'll love to grow, And sigh their sorrow there ; Ah me! no more their balmy glow May soothe her heart’s despair, No! nevermore ! But angel hands shall bring ber balm For every gricf she knew, And Heaven’s soft harps her soul shall calm With music sweet and true; And teach to her the ouly charm Of Israel anew, For evermore ! Love’s silver lyre she played so well, Lies shattered on her tomb ; Bot atijl in air its music-spell Floats on through light and gloom, And in the hearts where soft they fell, Her words of beauty bloom For evermore! {From the Belinore Clipper.] STANZAS. As sweet Spring's early flowers droop and die, When blows the chilling northern wind, So all the dreams of youth myst scattered lie When manhood’s cares oppress the mind. Youth's romantic visions all must perish, And bitter trials usurp their place, Leaving frail mementos that we cherish, In memory of those happy days. As o’er the path of life we onward go, And learn false man’s duplicity, Stern reality checks the ardent flow Of youthful love and sympathy. Now by dear experience taught at last, We shrink within ourselves, and pride Bids ue quick forget the blighted past, And every pang of surrow hide. G. F. THE STRAWBERRY. For the strawberry, the soil should be warm and light, | containing an obvious predominance of sand. The sets should be planted about ten inches apart, each way.— | L{orse manure, fresh from the stab!e, and undeteriorated | by fermentation, should be applied in liberal quantities to the soil before planting, and wel} intermiged by dig, ging and raking in. manure should remain nearer the surface of the bed than five inches, as at this depth it will not be liable to dry 2, and will furnish for a considerable portion of the sea- son the most healthy pagturaye and aliment to the plants. The most successful method of securing good fryits is to transplant every plant every spring—dividing the moots into as many and minule portions as possible ; care being had@, however, to preserve ow each division, a vealthy and uninjured joint. .ng of the surface of the soil het ween and under the plants with dry straw, just before the fruit ripens. This pre- caution obviates the likelihood of injury tg the berries in ‘onsequence of their coming in contact with, or being | oeaten into the sand by rains. Peacn Taees.—A new plan for their growth—We ire informed, says the Repubtic, that Mrs. J. L. Allen, ! 4 Efbert Canaty, Georgia, while experimenting upon osé-catting, has discovered a new, and shou'd it prove -uccessful generally, a most vajgable plan for growing peach trees from the limbs. The method used by thig lady ig Seats as fol; lows ;.A trench is opencd, into which the lower ends of the limbs of the length pf six to ten inches are placed, and thetrench is then filled with pulverized charcoal and dirt. This should be done ip Qctober, when the leaves have fallen from the treés. By the ensying spring, roots will have been formed and the limbs may be transplant- ed in the orchard. This, we think, is a new and valuable method for growing peach trees, requiring less time and trouble than any other pian. We trust that some of our horticalta-. rat frjends wil] experiment npon it and report to us the If practicable, no portion of the | Some recommend cover- | ipte,waad keeping. the, | fresh lime thiekly over the “surface of thetan every year as soot ‘as the green freit begins to fall. “ This kills-ev- ery cireulio ‘that attempts to enter the ground.” The tan prevents the weeds, from growing, keeps the roots cool, andyjasures me a good.crop of plams. I spread, it as as far as the foots extend, and it-wants renewing or adding to, once in ahead four years. Masxure For Fajr ‘Taees—Dr. Kennicott, speak- ing of the fertile land of Nortbera Iinois, says; For fruit trees especially the apple and quiace, I have found barn-yard manure, half decayed ehips, charcoal and ash- es (mixed) servigeable. I have tried lime, but except on a small, peaty spot, without benefit. Mr. Dunlap says he has killed apple trees with ashes—perhaps he gave them too much. I have found them decidedly ser- viceable. Yard manure alone is not recommended for that region, and for peaches, plums and cherries, is con-. sidered positively injurious. For the Watchman. A BACHANALIAN. TEMPLE. Messrs. Editors :—Peradventure it will not be uninteresting to some of your subscribers to peruse a description of what has. frequently been witnessed by one whose province it is to watch the peculiar devotions of men, - In a small village, of no great characteris. tic importance,. in the far famed * Palnetto State,” may be seen, among other places of worship, @ spacious temple devoted to the ser- vice of Bachus. And although, in outward ap. pearance, inferior perhaps, to that of Emessa. in which the apostate Julian placed the statue of the pagan diety, yet its internal attractions are no less alluring, and its lusty attendants vie with each other to excel in their heart-felt adorat+ It mist be peculiarly gratifying to the sensi- bilitiesgpf this deity, to view the punctuality with ah his house is attended, the strict ob- servang® of its ordinances, and the deep inter. est manifested in all itsexercises. ‘The sacra. - ment “under one kind,” reversing however, the mode of catholicism, is daily, and in many ji instances hourly, administered, and it is pass. | ing strélige to see what a wonderful influence | il exerts, invigorating the system, elevating the | spirits, ruddifying the complexium, and produc- ing a degree of imaginary felicity and self im- | portance, altogether indescribable. The tem ple though not magnificent, is nevertheless | commodious and comfortably constructed, and | so far from being a ** white sepulchre,” exhib. | its, internally, a degree of taste and neatness adinirably in keeping with the character and | dignity of him to whose service it is dedicated. A delightful odor emanates from the interior, | so very agreeable to the worshipers, that, like the two Esquimaux dogs at Chelsea, they stand owe afier hour in front of the dvor, inhaling the exhilerating cfHuvia. The exercises be. gun with so much zeal in the morning, con. tinue till late at night, without the slightest ap. pearance of lassitude or inattention on the part of the members. It is indeed true, that some. limes afier engaging in the morning service, and partaking pretty freely of the saerament. ‘**sub una specie,” they are frequently over. come by the soothing influence of Somnus, but this only refreshes them for the more interest- ing duties of the evening. Vocal and instrumental music, of a rare spe. cimen, constitute an important part of the tem- ple service, and a kind of frisking motion of the body, adjusted to the measure of the tunes, is also extensively practiced, and gives a peculiar solemnity to the whole, that has the appear. ance, atdeast, of being quite devotional. Oc- casionally, a member somewhat exhausted by repeated convolutionary movements, anda little veliginous, from a too frequent reception of the sacrament, begins to reel, and finally falling on the ground, Jike the famous dog al the theatre Marcellus, counterfeits himself dead. In due time hagever, resuscitation takes place, and turning’ Bp his eye, like a duck in a thunder storm, is not vafrequently surprised to find that the sun has already passed to the other side of creation. Women, who performed so conspic- uous a part in the religious ceremonies of the ancient Bacchus, are, either by choice or co- ercion, excluded from the services of the mod. ern god. ‘This innovation speaks favorably for the progress of civilization. . | What the result of these protracted exercis- es will be, Lam hardly able to determine ; the probabilify however is, that, as there exists a Bacchus and Pluto, the meeting will soon ad. | Journ tothe balmy regions of the latter, unless | indeed, Esculapius should rise from the dead, | and again defeat the expectations of this tar. | tarean Ring.

Journal of the 12th say . * Tt is'rarely we have been called upon to | tecord a more terrible transaction than that which occurred in this city on Satarday night last. A man named Sam. Carlisle, liviog about | three miles from Evansville, on an excellent farm, returned from town to his home on Sat- urday evening about 9 o’clock, in an intoxica. ted candition, and with a jug of whiskey. He made his wife arise, and a young man sleeping in an adjoining room, and commenced a quar. rel. Finally, after ordering the young man to bed again, he took down his rifle and fired at his wite, the bullet grazing ber shoulder. He then struck her several blows on the head with the butt-of the gun, mashing in her skull. She died almost instantly. ‘The young man enter. fed the apartment but fearing for his own life, fled toa neighhor’s for assistagee. ~ Ow his re- S$: turn, with others, Carlisle was seated of the | edge of the bed dead. Fle had pulled off one Dect: placed the muzzle of the goo to his mouth, ) and with his toe discharged it, the bullet bre | ing out several of his teeth,. and entering brain.

In a newly settled town * out west,’ there re- sided, no more than three years ago, an old far. ther, who was notorious for his penuriousness, and his disposition fur saving’ afd turning eve. ry thing into money. At the time to which our story relates, old Deacon Newcomb was the only man in the vicinity who raised peaches. which were a very searce article, owing to the newness of the country. lt'so happened that the old deacon-had an abundatice of ‘these, us his fine young trees were just in ‘their prime + but not a single peach did one of his neighbors taste unless paid for in advance. This penuriousness on the part of the old gen- tleman excited the malicious propensities of many of the young men in the neighborhood, and they resolved to have a taste of the forbid. den fruit at all events, At that time, and in that part of the country, fruit stealing was not considered a very grave offence, but was look- ed upon as a mere practical joke, and was Jaughed at in proportion with the degree of | shrewdness manifested by the trespassers in , committing their depredations. | Consequently, the young men, while they | coveted the deacon’s fruit, despised his mean. | ness, resolved without a single scruple of con. | science, to help themselves. There were on- | ly about halfa dozen privy tothe plot, and they svon had everything satisfactorily arranged for carrying it into effect. ‘The six agreed to meet at the town tavern hetween the hours of 9 and ten in the evening, in order to be ready to commence operations at ten precisely, which was the time appointed for the setting out from the tavern. Among the conspirators, was one Ned Har. vey, a bold, hot-headed, and harmonious fellow, who it may be premised, was an inimitable mimic. Harvey was the soul of the party, but owing to some severe practical jokes which he had perpetrated at the expense of bis compan- ions, they were all anxious on the present oc- Cagion, !o put a trick upon him. This there were none of them witty enough to event, but accident #florded them an idea. It happened that the whole party were as. sembled at the tavern on the night appointed ata quarter befure ten, with the exception of Harvey. ‘What are we waiting for?’ asked one. ‘Ned Harvey,’ replied another. ‘True ; Ned is bebindhand.’ *No he aint ; don’t you see it isn’t time yet ! Ten’s the hour.’ *You’re right. But I propose, boys—’ ‘Well, what is it?’ ‘That we give bim the slip.’ * And go without bim 7’ ‘ Exactly.’ ‘A splendid idea !’ cried one. ‘A fine joke ? added another. The party accordingly silently left the tav- /ern, and disappeared in the direction of Deacon | Newcomb’s peach orchard. | _ Five minutes after Ned Harvey came in.— Surprised at not meeting hig companions, whom | he supposed would be for the most part assem. | bled, he leoked at the clock, then at his watch, and finally inquired of the bar tender if he had the correct time.- ‘It wants eight minutes and three quarters of ten,” said the gentleman addressed tu a frac- | tion | | Harvey satdown and remained quiet: just eight minutes and three quarters, when the | hour having arrived at which his companions | had promised to be assembled, he began to sus- pect foul play. * Has Dick W | asked, | * Yes,’ replied the bar.tender. ‘ And Charley B r ‘Yes.’ * And Bil! G ? * Yes, they left here just before you came in. Ned L————and Frank A were with them.’ ri Harvey hit his lips; he saw through the en- lire plot; and be asked himself ‘How the | duce can I come up with the rascals.’ An idea struck him and: he rubbed hig‘hands and churkled audibly. He Jefi the tavern in | hot baste, and proceeded homeward ints bigh iglee. He already felt his triumph complte, and saw his companions ti.- vietims of their /own treachery. Instead of alarming the dea. con he resolved to play the part of thejdeseon himself. The night was just dack pnotigh favor his design; although there was@ moan, the sky was cloudy, and the light of the night queen was obscured. | Harvey procured an old hat similar to the one Deacon Newcomb wore, pulled it over his eyes, and disguised himself still more effectual. ly by exchanging bis jacket fur an old frock coat, which bore a striking resemblance to one the old man was frequently seen to have on.— Provided with this disguise, and being possess. i] been here to-night?’ he _ed, as before stated, of wonderful powers of mimicry, be had aot a doubt of his ability to | counterfeit the gentleman so closely that bis | companions would not discover the cheat. | Having armed himself with a strong whip, | Ned set out to surprise the treaspassers at |their work of darkness. He was not long in reaching the deaeon’s orchard ; and not many | Minutes had elapsed belore he had discover. | edthe where-abouts of his companions. | Four of them were sitting upon the grass, near the fence. and directly under one of the | finest peach trees on the old man’s premises. They were enjoying a delightful feast on the luscious fruit, which one of the trespassers | was shaking from the tree which he had climb- ed. , | *Stolen waters are sweet, and so are stolen | peaches, I should judge !’ muttered Ned Har. vey, as he crept stealthily along by the fence. | He was soon so near that he could overhear | their conversation, and stopped to listen. ‘This is what I call rich—decidedly!’ ex- | claimed Dick, swallowing a ripe mellow peach as he spoke. r ‘What delicious raripee !’ whispered Char- | ley. ‘Excellent!’ nae not so good as the joke, after all,’ said j its , ‘Hat hal’ echoed Charley. * Aint it a rich joke. ~ Ittells beautifully on the old man’s stin- gy disposition.” ‘ And pays op Ned Harvey,too!’ exclaimed Dick. Ob! don’t we give him the slip nice- ly? . ‘Yes,’ said Bill,’ * but I’m afraid he’l! expose us to the old deacon.’ ‘ Never fear,’ returnad Charley. ‘ Ned Har- vey ain't the chap to dd such a mean trick as that. But wouldn’t he be worked up if he knew how we were enjoying ourselves without hie precious company 1’ * Would’t he !’ chuckled Ned to himself. * And would’! it start the old deacon,’ laughed Dick, ‘if any one should tel] him how we are enjoying ourselves at his expense !’ ‘Ha! ha! ha!’ laughed the whole company. ‘Have you filled the bag 7’ demanded rank, “on the tree. ‘ Yes—and our stomachs too,’ * Then I'am coming down to have my share !’ ‘ Now’s my time!’ thought Ned. Tt is impgssible to describe the consternation of bis treacherous friends, as he sprang out up- on them. — Disturbed so unexpectedly and sud- denly in the quiet enjoyment of the stolen fruit, they knew not where tu turn, but ran against each other, and knocked each other down, while the frightened Fraok pitched headlong from the tree among his fallen companions. * Here you are, are you ?” cried Ned, imita. ting the old deacon’s voice. ‘ Ah, you thiev. ing rascals!’ *}’ve caught you at it this time, and Pll give you peaches enough !” Soe saying. Ned used his heavy whip with all his force, striking the tresspassers on their hacks, and on their heads, and across their faces: knocking them down as fast as they got up and attempted to run. At last they scram. bled away, he chased them, and _ hitting first one and then another, and screaming in the deacon’s voice— ‘Ah, you villainous whelps! Pll larn you to steal peaches out of my orchard] [ll arn you you good-for-nothing ungodly thieving wretches !’ At length thinking he had punished them se- verely enough for treachery, Ned appeared to give up the chase, while his companions hid in the corners of the fence; but instead of leaving them thus, he dropped down on bis knees, and crept along towards them under the fence, in order to hear what they said. * Bill,’ whispered one. ‘What,’ muttered Bill. * Where are you”: ‘ Here, in the corner of the fence with Dick.’ ‘ Ain’t you dead?’ *No! but I should be, if he had hit me once more ; only just once; over the head as he did |’ ‘He almost broke my back!’ said a timid voice, in another corner of the fence. * He drew blood om my face,’ said Charley, ‘and his unmerciful sharp lash has left a ridge on my finger !’ ‘He made me see a whole constellation of stars! whispered Frank. ‘ Besides, | broke mv neek in as much as seven places when | fell from the tree,’ ‘Darn his picture,’ growled Dick. ‘ His whip didn’t hurt me much until he knocked me down, when [ thought Satan himself bad struck me.’ ‘ Who thought the old man so strong!’ cried Ned D—-, * Who thought the old fellow could run so?” retorted Charley. Harvey listened to this conversation, and much more of the same sort, unti] Frank, who had not the consolation of thinking be had ealen a single peach, started off telling his com. panions that if they wanted the bag, which they had left under the tree, they might go and get it, provided old Newcomb hadn’t already taken care of it. They declined going tor it but withdrew from the field of their defeated alto. gether, leaving Harvey to laugh at the joke, and to enjoy a hearly meal on the peaches he | found already collected in the bag. Having satisfied his appetite on the delicious fruit, he left the bag and the remaining contents for the old man and quietly walked home. Ned Harvey intended to keep the affair to himself, fearing the revenge of his companions but when the deacon reported that he had tound a hag full of peaches under one of his trees, and thtked of the trespass in such a way that the tresspassers knew that he had nothing to | do with flogging them so soundly, their suspi- ‘ions rested at once on Ned Harvey. Finding this to bane case, Ned immediately proclaimed the joke a Sicae eighborhood, and rela. ted the whole affair with such exagerajions, as served to show up his-comftades in most ridiculous light possible. ~ The traitors were empatically ‘used up.’— The ridicule was worse than the punishment they suffered. Everybody twitted them; and even the old deacon, forgiving them the peach. es they had eaten, chuckles over the rich jolve of * Robbing the Peach Orchard !” OUTRAGE. We learn that while Deputy Sheriff Smith of Rockingham county, was taking a runaway slave home to his master in Orange county, a few days ago, when near Cross Roads meet. ing house, in Alamance county, the negro, (who was hand.cuffed and tied to the hind part of the Buggy.) managed to extricate himself from the vehicle and jumped out of it and ran; pursued and overhauled him ere he had proceeded far. It seems that Smith, while pursuing the boy pulled from bis pocket a pistol and tried to shoot the boy as he ran, but the cap dropping off the pistol missed fire, and the negro percejying it turned upon his pursuer and grappled him, handcuffed as he was. Smith downed him, but in the scuffle the negro’s handcuffs broke and he managed to pul! a pisto! from Smith’s pocket and shot bim in the leg; after this he disengaged himself, seized a stick and knocked Smith (who stood upon his feet,) down, sense. less; be then fastened a chain to the deputy sheriff's neck, wrapped the other ead around a | tree and locked it by means of a pad lork.— The boy then got into the buggy and travelled homeward, but when a few miles below Hills. boro’ and not far from home he was again ar. rested a¢ a runaway and committed to Oranga ‘€., THURSDAY, JULY 11, 1 ee 850. -~ Ld =a jail.

There is a class of persons, ever busy, and ever safe from the punishment justly: due them, whose great delight it is to is- sue missiles of an ‘anonymous and mis- chievous nature, from the private dens in which they hide and skulk. It is well for such people that they possess a covert ; for it is to be inferred that, bat for this ad- vantage of the assassin, their arms would be powerless, and their daggers laths.— Few societies are without these despica- able wretches; who sheltered in disguise are accustomed to write communications, either slanderous of the persons to whom addressed, or calculated to traduce their friends. Such conduct exhibits but the natural tendency of envy. to make the food it feeds upon. A race of miserable insects is. known to naturalists, on whom grow parisitical animals, of hedious ap- pearance, whose lives are nourished by the bodies which they infest. Anony- mous letter writers are of this class.—-— Filled with the gall of. bitterness toward their fellow men. insusceptible of the generous influences of humanity, or of the enobling sway of virtue, public or private, they pour out the hatred and envy, which they feel at the success or eminence of others, until their feelings become fiendish appendages, destined by a just Providence, to fasten and prey on the vitals of their possessors. The scorpion, circled by fire, stings itself to death; and these misera- ble invaders of the ear of private friend- ship, and the sanctity of the social circle, and family hearth, may be safely left to that sure retribution, which sooner or la- ter, follows dishonorable practice. They may hide from the world, but they can not escape from themselves. If the re- flection of not doing that which no gen- tleman may perform, is matter of conso- lation, they surely have an abundant measure of guilty happiness to sustain them in their seclusion. We know, if- drawn from their dens, no more appropriate punishment for such wretches, than Dante has applied to one portion of the victims of his Inferno.— They were stuck in pits upto their ancles heads downwards, and undying, lambent | flames burn on the soles of their feet.— It is fitting that the bead, which conceives the malicious wrong of wounding the feelings of a good man, for the generous displays ot his disinterested, jf not discreet friendship, should reverse position’ with the members which tread the dust; and that these last, burning in the fires of eter- nal infamy, should be the soonest purged, because the furtherest removed from the seat of an intelligence, dishonored and desecrated by miserable envy.

The Locofoco party of North Carolina for LET IT BE REMEMBERED ! Ay, let it be remembered. that David S. Reid, the Democratic candidate for Gov- ernor, Is opposed to internal improvements. He has been the bitter.and uncomipromis- ing opponent of all Relief Bills and other matters, for the benefit of the Wilmington and Raleigh Railroad Company. He was in the Senate of our Legislature in 1836, 1838, and- 1840, and his recorded votes will sustaih our assertion. «The people of this section should remember this. For our own part, there is not a Whig in this Staté for whom we would vote, if he en- tertained the same sentiments as Col. Reid, on this vitally important question. He has little of the State pride which should be considered an -honor to every North Carolinian.. Living on the Virgin- ia line, and-trading to Petersburg, all his prejudices and trading notions are Virgin- ian; and his influences if elected Govern- or, would be exerted to direct the opera- tions on thé Central ‘Railroad, construction of Depots, &c.,s0-as to connect the travel, and prodace, with the Raléigh and Gaston Road, instead of their coming to Wilming. ton. Thas defeating the professed object of all engaged, and the real purpose of all people in? this section, that the new Road should be a North Carolina Road. We have had enough of the draining of wealth to enrich Virginia and impoverish office and power who do their best to in-. arene the degrading bondage.— Commer- Cta . From the Fayetteville Observer. The August election is approaching, and candidates fur the office of Governor of North Carolina will be nominated by the pa:ties.— Free Suffrage will no doubt be the test ques. tion, and probably a majority of the voters will be in favor of a change inthe State constitu. tion to that effect. Now in the election can. vass it is very necessary that citizens of the State, permanent in their locality, interested in the svi] and inured to the-climate, should at once know the extent to which the free suffrage principle is to be carried. If “no property qualification” is to be our motto, let i: be ex. tended to the eligibility of any person, whether a Shay ora Lopez, to any office of honor, profit or trust, now constitationally existing or bere- afier to exist. Let the elective franchise be extended to persons indiscrinately, not only to choose constables, sheriffs, clerks, Governor, &c., but alse justices of the peace, superior and supreme court judges, state alforneys, so- licitors, council, secretary, treasurer, comptrol- ler, speakers of senate and commons, clerks and doorkeepers, &c. &c., thereby saving a great deal of time aud acrimonious struggle to the members of Assembly. Such a thor. ough change in favor of the “dear people” a demagegue might use to the utmost verge of popularity, and in emphatic terms point out to the world the intolerance of the by-gone fath. ers, like those of the pharisees of old. The above measures being adopted, the next dema. gogical hobby will be agrarianism, and the equal distribution of all property, real, persona) and mixed. For it certainly will be improper, unequal and unjust, to tax property for the support of that government in which it is not represent. ed; and the upwards of 2500 insolvent polls annually allowed Sheriffs in their settlement with the Treasurer, must be provided for in some way, and equality of property along with that of suffrage is the only practicable means to save defalcation. Our forefathers thought that government should be established for the protection of the honest, industrious, enterpris- ing citizen, and that none but such should be i eligible to make regulations for the rest; | but the present generation are wise in their own eyes, and count as fully, aristocracy, or monopoly, the securily and protection necessa- ry for the enjoyment of hohest labor and indus. try. Let equal taxation follow close in the wake of equal suffrage, and depend upon it, | that the pros and cons will face about, so that | the hobby rider must digmount and reorganize by a different manceuvre his recruits.

The exercises commenced at half passed 8 o’clock, A. M., and centinued until twelve. At 2 o’clock, P. M., thete“exercises were re- sumed, and contiauel until five in the evening, and were then suspended until candlelighting, at which time they were again resumed, and continued until a late hour at night. Sothe day passed off amid the various exercises, of a somewhat protracted examination. Some nine- teen different classes were examined during the day: and all much to the credit of both teachers and students, All of which proved both instructive and interesting to the specta- tors. All seemed satisfied, that great profici- ency had been made in the-acquisition of use- ful knowledge. Bit This school is now divided ime two parts, one the male, and the other the female depart. ments, and likewise taught in two different houses, situated about a hundred yards or more apart from each other; and is under the euper. vision of the Rev. Wm. L. Van Eaton, A. M. But while we speak of this School as one, and as belonging to the same proprietor, the female department is under the instruction and govern- ment of a seperate tutoress. Here the fine Arts, Music and Paititing will be taught, in connection with the sciences, and French lan. guage. The male department is entirely un- der the supervision of Mr. Vao Eaton. Here the Languages are taught, and young men wish- ing to prepare for College, would do well to come here to prosecute their sindies, as this would prove an excellent preparatory school to them. Young men from this schvol, have en- tered the Junior Class in College, and were considered well prepared. It has been re- marked by one of the faculty of the Emory and Henry College, that “among the best students that ever entered that instiiution, were those from this school.” ‘This remark of the Pro. fessor’s had reference both to the moral and intellectual training of the students of the Jonesville Academy. The situation of Jonesville is high and healthy. Indeed, the healthfulnes of this loca. tion cannot be doubted, as it is in a mountain. ous region, not more than fifieen miles from the Blue Ridge. In point of good morals Jonesville ig unsurpassed by any village in North Carolina ; no spiritous liquor sould in or very near the place. Board may be had in the village, or the neighborhood, as may be prefered. As a friend of education, I fee) myself justi- fied in recommending this Schoo] tothe consid- eration of both young gentlemen and ladies, as affording advantages not to be enjoyed at the majority of schools in our country. Next term of school to begin July 22d, 1850. D. W. DOUB. For the Watchman. HOW MUCH IS A DOLLAR? If we go to Virginia or New England, it is six shillings; and we hear them tel! of * four. pence hafpennies,” ninepences, &c. If we go to New York, it is eight shillings; in some other States it is seven and sixpence; and in others still, it is four and eightpence. Now perhaps not all the young people in the coun- try can tell why a dollar, of 100 cents is not | always the same number of shillings. We will give an explanation of this published about 40 years since. “For almost a century after the settlement of America, the English Colonies rated coins in sterling money as in Great Britain. But the scarcity of money finally called for a rem: edy, and some of the Colunies attempted to remove the difficulty, by passing laws to raise the nominal value of foreign coins.

READ THIS VOTERS OF IREDELL. Messrs. Editors :—We have been very much surpised to see a communication from this county, giving a report of the proceedings of a Convention held at Williamsburg on the 15th of June, for the purpose of nominating a can- didate to represent us in the next Legislature | | Ir appearing to the satisfaction of the Court, that She | defendants, Richmond Baity, Morgan Baity, Dennis of North Carolina.

Editors, give youa fair statement of the facts concerning that meeting, that the people at home and abroad may know some of the manceuvreing of the Locofocos in the North East portion of this county, in order that they may palm one of their party off upon the Whig party. Some time about the 2tuh May, Col. C. R. Jones is. sued a mandate to the Captains of the 89th Regiment to hold a muster of their respective Companies on the 8th June ; and in that com mand requested them to send up delegates to Williamsburg, to nominate a new county can. didate. The musters were held, and the per: | ple attended, but treated Col. Jones’ orders fur delegates with superb contempt with the ex- ception ef one Company. ‘That Company sent three Locofoco delegates, which made the sum and substance of the Convention. How. ever, the people’s attention were attracted by | the novelty of the proceedings, and a good ma- ny persons were on the ground at the hour of meeting. One of the delegates elect made Proclamation at the door of Dr. Love’s office, by singing out at a loud rate, O yes, O yes, O yes, all you what wants a seat in this inven- tion around the tables are welcome; but no | Person caine forward save the gallant Colonel and his army of occupation, consisting of the three delegates already spoken of. In this di. lemma, what does the Colonel do, but gete up, aad appoints delegates to suit himself, but took | Missouri, and lately a Professor in the Medical College of that city. Our venerable friend had the rare good fortune of descending to the grave without pain or any disease that has a name in medicine.

The veins already discovered, in consequence of the disinclination of the late Mr. Lemmond to super- intending them (being a gentleman in easy circumstan- ces) and the expense of machinery, have been worked without machinery, and upon a scale so small as not to impair their value, in no place being sunk more than 25 or 30 feet, nevertheless, the labour expended upon them, has been well rewarded and there can be nodoubt that with capital and suitable meang,they would yield the highest mining profits.

VYNHIS Spring is situated in Patrick Gounty, Virgin- ia, among the spurs of the Blue Ridge, and in as healthy a section as there is in the world. The water is strongly chalybeate, and of incalculable value_in re- storing a debilitated system, in dyspepsia and disorder- ed stomach, in diseases of the kidneys, &c., &c. I have made and am now making numerous substantial improvements for the accommodation of visiters, and flatter myself that the annoyances of last year, conse- quent upon the dilapidated condition of the property, will all be removed. The rent of cabins will range from $3 to $3 75 per | week—none rented for a shorter term than four weeks | in the commencement of the season.

SMILES AND TEARS. BY D: W. sTEWaRT. Around her was a fairy scene, A wilderness of flowers, Where slowly-deepened day's soft hues, As come the'twilight hours. The beech tree’s browa and gnarled stem A rustic seat had made ; }ts swayiog foliage lightly cast A soft and emerald shade. They wove for her a dewy wreath Of buds and blussoms bright, To crown her at the festival, Their radiant queen that night ; The maidens hear their mandolin, As lilly bells they twine ; And softly whisper, ‘* Isadore, What heart so light as thine.” But when they stole, with noiseless tread, Across the shaded Jawn, The joyous meledy was hughed, The merry smiles were gone; And tears had dimmed those lustrous ayes, From which the smileg had fled, As closer to the sheltering tree She leans her drvoping head. saenenieiinenenemenenioaaiial When Judge Peters, of Pennsyivania, was Speaker of the House of Assembly, one of the members, in eross- ing the room, tripped on the carpet, and fell down.— The house burst into laughter; while the Judge, with the utmost gravity, cried :—‘* Order, order, gentlemen —a member is on the floor.” & Mrs. Partington ia of Lhe opinion that Mount Vesuvi- us should take ‘Pownaend’s Sarsapurilla, to cure itself of eruptions! he old lady thinks it has been vomiting 80 Jong, nothing else would stay on its stomach. Negro Eloquence.—A dandy ‘black stepped into a provision sture in this city to buy some potatoes. Be- fore purchasing, he gave the following truly eloquent de» scription of its nature ; * De tater is inevitably good. Dare is no mediogrity In deg@ombination ob de tater. De exterior may indeed uppeag remarkably exeimplary and bitesome, while de inteyior is totally negative ; but, sir, if vou wends de ar- ticle upon your own recommendations, knowing you to be a man of probebility in all your translations, why, sir, without farther circumlocution, | take a bushel.” A clergyman, praying at a camp meeting in 3 most fervent manner fér the power of the devil to be curtailed, @ Zealous old negro loudly exclaimed— Amen! yes, bless de Lor, cut he tail smack smoove off!” Foreign Correspondence —W hat is the best Powder for removing Grease? According to Lord Palinerston, it is Gunpowder. The subscriptions to the fund of the Great Industrial Exhibition have reached upwards of £50,000. The Olive Branch tells a capital story of a sarcastic ald fellow, who, being asked one day by “ A” if he had any treasures laid up in Heaven 1—replied with a doleful look, ‘ Sartain, sartain; I guess they must be there, if any where—I hain’t got none laid up t’home, I pay, sartain !”’ Sound the Pumps 1—We have seen an in. genious invention, patented by Dr. Nelson Ed. wards, of this cily, for ascertaining the depth of water jn the bold of a vessel at any time during the passage of a ship acruss the ocean. It is composed uf a machine with clock work, ingeniously arranged and a dial plate. From this @ gutta percha or metallic ball descends through the pump well and rests on the water. Ae the water in the hold increasee or dimin- jshes, the exact amount in inches and feet is indicated by the dial, by casting a glance at which, at any hour of the day, the depth of water may be accurulely ascertained. And furthermore, the machine may be go ar. ranged that when the water increases to any | given depth, say three, five or seven teet, an alaruiy will be rung that will call all hands to the rescue! We have seen cases where such 4 machine on board vessels taking in cargo would have saved a hundred times ils coat. OF the practical utility of this invention there can be po doubt. |i is of simple contrivance, and will endure for many years without being jiable to vet out of order, And we are told the egpense will be but moderate.— Boston.

A TOWN TAX PAYER. UNITED STATES AND SPAIN. A Washington letter of June 29, in the Philadelphia North American says : The authentic advices from Cuba, which} have now reached here, are not calculated to encourage the opinion which has been hereto. fore chrished, that all cause of apprehension # concerning the Contoy prisoners . wuld “be speedily removed by amicable negotiation. No doubt is entertained that the Spanish Min. ister has employed his best offices to prevent any collision between the two governments, and exerted his influence to induce the Captain General to act a discreet part in reference to these prisoners. But these wise counsels,™ prompted, as they doubtless were, by honora. ble motives onthe part of Mr. Calderon, do not seem to have heen respected; and the consul§ of the United States has been distinctly in-§ formed that these persons Cannot be surrender. § ed, because Count Alcoy has no authority tof deliver them up, and it ia therefore necessary to await the views of his government. a It is not to be disguised, that the Captaing Genera) has prevaricated in his statements ong this subject, and that his assurances to Capt.& Tatnall, Captain Randolph and others, have®™ not been redeemed in good faith. The pre-§ sem pretence of the absence of authority tog release the prisoners is too feeble and transpa-™ rent to command serious attention. ‘The Cap-§ tain General has as much power to act in thisy case as he had in that of Rey’s, and if he fails lo exercise it, the responsibility will be his.— But while this delay is permitted, the lives of (he prisoners may be sacrificed by the severity} of their inearceration. It is already reported that two of the number had died from confine. ment and other causes. Whether this state-j ment be true or false, the duty of the Govern: ment is imperative, and cannot be slighted by anyevasion. There has been delay enough aleeady, and longer protraction would only en- Courage the false impression in Cuba, that the Government was really indifferent to the fate] of the prisoners, and was prepared to abide by the course of the authorities there. In view of this state of things, it has been determined to make a positive demand, and to send out an officer ot the navy whose repvta- tion will carry the admonition that the day for (rifling is over. I sincerely hope that the ne- cessity for this movement may be avoided, and that the authorities of the Island will see them policy of reviewing their past course, before such an alternative is presented. But it must] be perfectly clear that the President ean no longer remain indifferent, as it is that silence on the part of the Government might be at-@ tended with the most prejudicial results.

Among the Hebrews, or among foreigners? ‘The language of the pass-§ age fully developes this, and answers the ques-§ tion. He “has escaped from his master unto the Hebrews (the text says—thee i. e.

The value of this kuowledge is second only to that of sight. : Bronson is at present the feading pro- mulgator of this idea, and Claims to have discovered it. It may be original with him, yet it was known long before Bron- son’s birth.

Ford tried it, and soon restored his sight perfectly, and has Since preserved it by the continuance of of this practice. On this point the Phila- delphia Ledger ‘remarks as follows.— .

The Traveller asays that Prof. Bronson is the author-of these discoveries, and that his practice consists entirely’ it) manipulation. Pro- fessor Bronson is well known in this and other cities, as a.lecturer upon elocution, and has opened. an oftice in New York, for medical practice upon the eye, in which we wish him saccess. _ But while giving credit to Professor aBronson for his efforts in doing good, and while admitting that his method of treat. ing the eye is original with himself, we do not admit that he was the first discov- erer. The very treatment ascribed to him for restoring decayed sight, was dis- covered long ago by John Quincy Ad&ms, and successfully practised upon himsélf. This is not the only case in which scien- tific men have made the same discovery, without any communication with each other. Dr. Franklinin Philadelphia, and Dr. Ingenhouse in St. Petersburg, without any knowledge of cach other made simul- taneous discoveries in electricity. There- fore we do not wonder at Professor Bron- son’s discovery concerning the eyes, with- out any hint from Mr. Adams, who had long previously made the discovery. Mr Adams did not communicate his discovery tothe world, but mentioned it incidentally and as of no great importance, to twaor three friends in the course of his lif@= We certainly wonder at him and tlienpfer not perceiving its general utility.< Mr. a Adams never wore spccticles, his sight enduring to the last. Yet those who re- membered him in private conversation, may remember his habit while listening of manipulating bis eyes with his fingers, by passing them gently over the surface. from the external to the internal angle. The decay of sight that is remedied by convex spectacles, is caused by the gradu- al absorption of the humors, or relaxation of the coats, rendering the transparent cornea less convex. The manipulation of gentle pressure perbaps by stimulating the coats, and thereby causing them to contract, restores the original convexity, fand subsequently the original perfection of sight. In rubbing or wiping the eyes, we naturally pass the hand or towel over the convex surface, from the internal to the external angle. This deminishes the Bconvexity, and thus promotes the deeay Sof sight, and therefore should be carefully avoided. The pressare whether in wi- ping or manipulating, should proceed, in eyes originally perfect from the external to the internal angle. Short sight remi- Bdied by concave glasses, is caused by un- Bdue convexity of the external cornea whether congenital or caused by disease. In this case, all wiping, robbing, or man- ipulation should proceed from -the. inter- Pnal to the external angle, the reverse of the motion necessary in the case first #mentioned. In manipulation, care must Ebe taken against too hard rubbing, or jcontinued too long, which may develope inflamation. The same female friend mentioned above has been troubled for years with a spontaneous weeping of one of her eyes, a which she has entirely cured by rubbing mand wiping her eyes, when she washes inwardly. She also now reads fine print, whereas before she was unable to do so. This subject will of course commend itself to the practical ttials of all who may be suffering from imperfect sight or weak eyes.

Pursuant to notice given by the Commis-& sioners, a meeting was held ip this Town, on Thursday and Friday last, of the Subscribers to the Stock of the North Carolina Rail Road. We have more than once had occasion to speak with pride and exultation of the assem- blages that have heretofore been drawn toge- ther to effect the subscription required of indi- viduals by the charter, and we feel more in- clined now than formerly, to indulge io thatg velo, for surely there never was a body of men congregated within our borders, more distin- guisbed for intellectual! and moral -traits than this convention of Stockholders. The first men in our State in the professions of Law and Me- dicine ; The men of science in Agriculture and mechanical! arts—the men of wealth—men of; high political distinction ;—successful ler. ehants—esperienced contractors on Railroads Engineers of high distinction from other States :—Presidents and Cashiers of Banks, and Rail Road Companies, with many sub. stantial gentlemen, distinguished for an unpre. tending manner and a contempt for all distinc: § tion—were all here in numbers. As might beg expected from such a meeting, there was no display, no oraturical flourish, though we know of many who are highly gified with powers for such a display. All was orderly, quiet and bu- siness.like in these proceedings. It is truesj that there was much discussion on the many} matters that necessarily arage in this, the first mecting of the largest corporation ever char- tered in our Blate: jt was sensible, pointed, instructive debate, and always brief. It wasf marked too, with 9 glow of patriotism, and afl proud satisfaction, that they were doing some- thing to elevate the character of the State— something worthy of the age—but there was no ranting-—no fustion—no “ grand flourish. es’’ to gain applause. It Was sometimes learned and profuund—sometimes simply state. ments of facts. Often more financial detail, and as the maliers were more practical and un. important, the speaking assumed the style of easy Conversation. But it never Jost its grave and dignified chararter, and never failed to in- terest the crowd of spectators that hung eager. ly upon its deliberations. ‘To say that the im- pression made by these deliberations is most auspicious and cheering, were to speak tamely, but we are admonished by the course of pro- ceedigg to which we are referring, to speak soberly and discreetly. ‘Fhey know, and we know, thai they are beset with opposition of a resolute character, and that many difficulties will be offensively thrown in their way. They know too, that without the correction by the Legislature of a mistake in their charter, the work will lay heavy and burthensome to many of them. They knew these things from the first, they are nerved and resolved to meet and overcome them ; and nothing but the most un; equivocal repudiation on the part of our law- makers can stop the progress of the Great North Carolina Rail Road. To the people of our honest old State, who are just. about (io cast their suffrages for a new setof pyblic agents—to the liberal, firm, patriotic people of North Carolina, and espe- cially to the people along the line of this Rail Road—to the people of the West, who with us are suffering intolerable burthens! ‘To all true patriots we appeal at this juncture, not to send up those who are threatening to destroy these bright hopes, We haye mixed sufficiently with the individ. uals constituting this Company, both as a mem. ber and jn the social circle, to speak advisedly of their feelings and purposes in respect to this great work. [1 is not with the hope of making profit either in the construction of the Road, or upon its operations after it is made, that they are influenced: they believe with fair play on the par} of the State authorities they wil] event. yally be jndemnified in the undertaking, but they are by no means eager for these expected gajns, so that if the State is not satisfied with the co-parinership, if demagogues shall suc. ceed in their aim to stir up suspicion and jeal. pusy towards these worthy men, they are will- ing that the State shall take tt all into its own hands—they wish the work to be done, but they care not who does it so it is done well and done honestly. We know this to bs the pre- vailing sentiment in this body: we could al. gat venture to say the unanimous sentiment of the large quorum assembled at this place: Bo that if these guardians of the people’s rights are sincere in their apprehensions that the Btate is exposed to injury and loss by the as- sociation, let them propose in the next Legis. lature, a severance on these terms, and wef pledge all we can boast of in faith and moral standing, that the offer wil] be promptly met and agreed \o. Upoa the motion of R. M. Saunders, of Wake, Hon. Duncan Cameron, was appoint. ed Chairman of the meeting, and John B. Esq., of Rowan, and S. F. Phillips, of » were appointed Secretaries. A good deal of the first day was spent in verifying the pubscriptions and prosies. A Committee con. sisting of William A. Graham, George W. Mordecai,and John A. Gilmer, with the two See. retariez, were laborioysly engaged the whole forenoon of ihat day.—At Jength Stock to the amount of pear nine hundred thousand dollars being ascertained to be represented, a quorum to de business was declared, and they proceed- ed with the business required by the charter. Mr. Gilmer, vf Guilford, eriimjtted a plan for gistributing the vames of Directors along the line of Road, which excijed an arimated dis- gyssion ; at length on the suggestion of the AThe sald Commitee repotted the plairg « Chair, at Commitice of ten were selected to eport upon ‘the: basis of distribyion and: the manner of selecting the several directors. its ted by!

Mordecai, F. J. Hill, H. C. Jones, J. M. Leach, The Chairman, Gov. Morehead, reported a seriesof By-Laws, which with several amend- ments was adopted. The leading features of, the By-Laws are as follows ; Subsequent meeting of the Stockholders are to take place at Greensborough, Raleigh, and Salisbury alternately. First meeting on the first Thursday in July. The Office of Secretary to be combined for the present with that of Treasurer. Engineers and other agents, to be appointed by the-Board of Directors at such prices for services as they may be able to agrze upon. These several provisions, and others less im- portant, were discussed by Messrs. Hill, Mor. decai, Leach, Jones, of Rowan, McDonald, Graham, Osborne, Boylan, Boyden, Morehead, f and Saunders. ‘The chief matters in debate were salaries of the officers, and the limitation of the term of service ot the Directors, the act of Assembly making it the duty of the Stoek- holders 1o prescribe the term not more than a year, during which the first set of Directors shall serve. The President’s salary was fixed at twenty-five hundred dollars, and his travel: ling expenses for journies beyond the State on the business of the Company. The Secretary and Treasurer gives bond in a sum of $80,000 and receives a salary of $1250. He is to deposit all the money of the Corporation in the State Bank at Raleigh and the Cape Fear Bank at Salisbury, and is not to hold in his hands in cash more than $5000 at any one time. The mode of making contracts —of authenticating the same—of authenticat. ing proxies—of conducting the business of the Company, are all provided for in the By-Laws. A Resolution was offered by Mr. Gilmer, which was amended by Mr. Osborne, to the effect that, the assurances made by the several Conventions which sat at Salisbury, Greensbo. rough and Hillsborough, in regard to the pay. ment of stock in work, and of giving prefer. ence to stockholders at equal and fair prices inthe letting of contracts for work, materials, &c., be recognized, and re-asserted by this meeting ; which after a full and free discus. sion was adopted. A Resolution submitted by Mr. Coleman of ‘Cabarrus, ordering the route through Concord, Salisbury, Lexington, Greensborough and Hills- borough, to be surveyed, was adopted without opposition or debate. The meeting after the usual vote of thanks to the officers, adjourned at a late hour on Fri- day evening. MEETING oF THE DrtrECToRs. Subsequent to the adjournment of the Stock- holders, the Directors held a meeting on Fri- day night and Saturday, at which the following officers were appointed : Joun M. Moreneap, Pres’t. of the Com. Joun U. Kirktanp, Sec’ry. and Treasurer. Maj. WaLrer Gwynn, Chief Engineer. These appointments are said to be good: we know Gov. Morehead, and we are satisfied none could be more acceptable to the whoule country. We learn too, that that of Engineer, upon whom so much rests, could not be bettered — Major Gwynn bas been in the service cf the State in draining the Swamp Lands, and other- wise employed for several years. He is well known to many,citizens in the East and West, and has the confidence of the public in a re- markable degree. , Rowan county, The Engineer is in fact, the umpire of all conflicting rights ; and it was due to the State, which is not yet represented, that a man of tried ability and integrity should be chosen to this responsible post. We learn that the Surveys will be com. menced about loth of August, and be prosecu-. ted vigorously. We learn that there will be three divisions of the corps, one of which will assemble at Salisbury. The following is an extract of a letter from a gentle- man in Washington City, dated July 11, to a friend in this place, and which we have been kindly permitted to publish : f= Dear Sin—The President, (Mr. Fittaore) has given no intimation, as yet, as to who he will select to com- pose his Cabinet, and nothing will be known before the first of next week. You need place no confidence in newspaper reports. Of one thing, however, there is no doubt. The President is decidedly for the Compromise bill that is now before the Senate. He had a long ine terview on yesterday with Cuay and Wessrgr, in hoth of whom he has great confidence. * 2 2 # 2 With the influence the President will bring to bear for the Compromise, little doubt is now entertained of its passage through both Houses.

The Tribune is informed by Count Dembinski, that Kossuth intends to come to this eountry with his family, as soon as he shall be permitted to leave Turkey. . DEATI OF TRE PBESEDENT. Little did we think when we closed the co}. ums of our last paper, that the: next would ly clad in mourning for the Chief Magistrate « the Nation. The death of President ‘Taylor came upon the country, like a clap of thunder from aclear sky. Such are the mysterious ways of Providence. A whole nation is call- ed, in one day, to mourn ; and that too, when least apprehended. - The Natjonal Intelligencer of Wednesday 10th inst. has the following on this melancholy subject : Weep, fellow-citizens! The hand of death has stricken down a great and good man !— ZACHARY ‘TAYLOR, our honored and be. loved President, is no more! A malignant and rapid disease has swept bim from among the living. No longer ago than Thursday last, he was apparently in the fuil enjoyment of health and strength, participating in the patriotic cer- emonies of our Nation’s Birthday, and now he is numbered with the dead! He expired Jast night at half-past 10 o'clock, surrounded by his afflicted family. He died with the composure which conscious virtue, fortitude, and confi- dence in the goodness of Gop can alone im- part.- His Jast intelligible words were: “I ‘am not afraid to die; I have done my duty; “my only regret is leaving those who are dear ‘““to me.” In all this wide Jand there is not a heart which honors the noblest attributes of our na- ture—truth, bravery, humanity, patriotism— that will not throb with pain and grief at this national bereavement. ‘* He wasa noble gentleman : ‘“‘ The general voice ‘* Sounds in him for courtesy, behavior, truth, ‘“* And every fair demeanor an example. ‘* Tides of honor add not to his fame, ‘¢ Who was himself an honor to the title.” The following remarks in the Washington Union of the same date, do great credit to the head and heart of Mr. Ritchie, the Editor: The President of the United States has just breathed his last. The chamber in which he died is filled with an anxious and sympathizing crowd. How often shall we have toexcluim, ip the memorable words of Edmund Burke, “* What shadows we are and what shadows we pursue!” In a little more than nine years two Presi- dents of the United States have been hurried away, cov- ered as they were with all the honors which their coun- try could bestow upon them. Scarce a twelvemonth ago, the lamented predecessor of General ‘Taylor was taken from us. But Mr. Polk’s office had expired, and his work was done. In less than four months, two ‘of the distinguished sons of South Carolina, and senators of the United States, have breathed their last; and scarcely had their country ceased to weep over their graves, before the President of the United States de- scends to the tomb, amid the sympathies of his aston- ished countrymen. This melancholy event will fall like a thunder-clap upon the people. It is an event full of the saddest in- terest—calculated to astonish and startle a whole nation, and to touch every heart init. It is destined to produce congequences to the country which no mortal man has sufficient sagacity to unroll. In this grave and awful moment, the heart is full of the profoundest sympathies and regrets. But we have no time to pour them forth at this moment. A thou- sand other pens will hereafter do justice to the ilustri- ous deceased. We bury in his honored tomb every un- kind or unworthy feeling which we might ever have entertained. General Taylor rises before us in all the glo- ry of the Hero, in all the majesty of the Patriot, whose name is associated with some of the most brilliant achievements in our annals, who has earried the fame of his country to the remotest nations, and whose repu- tation will never die. The name of the Hero of Palo Alto and Buena Vista will live as long as the name of the nation whose standard he so often bore to victory and to glory. These deeds are indelibly written on the tablet of a nations gratitude. YESTERDAY’S PROCEEDINGS OF CONGRESS. Transmitted for the Petersburg Intelligencer. WasnineTton, July 10, 1850. SENATE.

The Pre- sident of this great Nation is dead. ‘The cour. ageous and noble heart of General Taylor hae ceased to beat. The great spirit which a few years ago ‘ed our armies to victorious baitle and won for us addtional glory and renown has returned to its God who gave it. Sir, we love our country—ewe love our Institutions; and we love the officers of this great and glori- ous Nation. The President of the U.

Our Correspondent “Dan River,” who gives an account of the Discussion at Went- Worth,states a fact which must prove bighly mor- tifying to the friends of Reid, if their shame for fim-is not already exhausted. Cornered at ev: ety.point in his efforts to egtape the odium that awaits him of having voted fur the principle of the” Wilmot Proviso, in the Oregon Bill, he makes a desperate and fidal plunge to get lease ind is renduced in-the miserable ex nt e gontending, that “he could’nt hate voted far, » Wilmot Proviso, because Wiimor ‘dt nt move to apply it to ¢hat Bill.” Wonderful Mr) ‘Reid! Most profound aud inventive genious tj Most astute logician ! ey ~~ The Loco Fuoco Candidate for Governor-must, imdeed, be desperately put to, when he insults) the intelligence of the People of North Coroli= na by any such ridiculous and wretched pre- texts. He must see the gathering indignation of his feHow-citzens about to burst over his de- voted head, for bis betrayal of their interests, or he surely would never stoop.to creep out through such a hole. ‘ Wilmot did’nt move ut,” in this instance! May be he did’at; but he VOTED: fot it — he recognized his infa- mous banitling ; and so did Giddings and King, and Julian, and Durkee! ! And side by side with these, David S.

Taylor alter one of the most brilliant victories on re- cord, for the’terms of capitulation at Monterey ; That Rerp with his narrow and contracted views of State policy, had invariably VOTED against every measure, designed to improve the condition of our People, East or West. That he saw the Free Suffrage question, about which he seems to be so solicitous, un- ceremoniously knocked in the head by his own political friends, in the Legislature of 1849, without making an effort to resuscitate it; That he repudiates the idea that any of the friends of the Nashville Convention, (such men for instance as Rhetl,) were DisuNIonIists ; . That-—however he may have been originally disposed—by accepting his nomination at the hands, and under the circumstanees, he now fully endorses the Nashville Convention ; And finally, that David S. Reid, who contri- buted by his vote on the Oregon Bill, to bring on the disastrous difficulties of the times, seeks redress for these wrongs upon the South at the hands of some irresponsible cabal as the Nash. ville Convention! !—Raleigh Register. -*THE MEETING AT WENTWORTH. [We have been furnished by a friend with the following brief account of the “ passage at arms” between Gov. Manly and Mr. Reid, at Wentworth, on the 29th ult. We have also received an account of the Governor’s enthu. siastic and spirited receptions at Salem and Germantown, which we are unavoidably com. pelled to defer. Private letters from each of the above places assure us that our gallant Candidate awakens the best spirit wherever he goes, and that he will receive a much larger vote than he received in 1848.]—Ral. Reg. Mr. Gates: Governor Manly and Cul. Reid addressed the people at Wentworth, on Satur. day last, the 29th. It was a large and very in. telligent assembly. The Governor led offin his usual happy man. ner, and among other things, charged home up- on the Colonel for having voted for the Ore. gon Bill, with the odious Wilmot Proviso in it. That the Country was agitated from the centre to the circumference, the public mind disturbed a dissolution of the Union threatened, because ofthis question. One portion of the Country endeavoring to exclude slavery from the Ter. ritories as common property, and the South insisting on her right to participate in its ben. efits: and that Col. Reid had given the Free Soilers and Abolitionists his aid in establishing as a precedent this principle, by his vote on the Oregon Bill. The Colonel denied flatly and roundly that he had voted for the Wilmot Poviso in any shape or form. Here the Governor gornered him most triumphantly ; shewed from the Re: B cord, where he had voted for the Bill twice with that odious feature in it. And how do you think the Colonel tried to get out gf it! By Ainsisting that the anti-slavery clause in the Ore. gon Bill was not the Wilmot Proviso, that it was offered as-an amendment not by Wilmot but by some one else. While the Governor poured fourth his de- nunciations against such paltry subterfuge and prevarication, the Colonel’s friends hung their heads with shame. » Upon the other topics of discussion, the Gov. fpor’s course and views are highly approved and the Whigs over here will give him a unan. imous support. Supposing that you might wish to know some- thing about the Campaign at the start, I have wrillen you at this time. DAN RIVER. Extract from a letter to the Editor, dated, Strokes C.

Intelligencer. Boston, July 3. The Confession of Professor Webster was communicated to the Council yesterday by his special adviser, Dr. Pittman. Professor Web. ster denies solemnly that the act was premedi- tated. His object, he says, in making the ap- peintment with Dr. Parkman, was to sue for further indulgence, as he was unable to meet his liabilities. He did not state that he was ready to pay him any thing. He says that Dr. Parkman abused him and used the most op. probrious epithets towards him—threatening to have him turned out of his place, &c. ‘This irritated him to the highest degree, and, in the frenzy of the moment, he seized a stick, and with a violent blow on his head, he killed Dr. Parkman on the spot. ‘The confession goes on b'o give the details of the after proceedings, which appear to have been carried tbrough with the most perfect coolness.

When such men as Duncan Cameron and William Boylan put in heavy sums of money into any enterprise, and then give it their beat direction and guidance, we may safely exclaim who’s afraid ! KEEP THIS BEFORE THE PEOPLE, Keep it before the People, that David S. Reid deliberately sacrificed the rights ofthe South, in voting for the Oregon bill with the Wilmot Proviso in it. The more this matter is looked into, the clear. er becomes the proof that Reid voted for the genuine Wilmot proviso, and under circumstances that made it an unmistaka- ble insult to the South, Let it not be for. gotten, that he voted for the Wilmot Pro- viso and nothing else, and that his denial but adds to his guilt and increases the in- jary to the South ! . "Keep it before the People, that David S. Reid is in favor of the stand still, do nothing policy, that has prevailed in North Carolina for so many years past. He has opposed every scheme of Internal Improve- ment that has ever been adopted by the State. During his Legislative course, we have his recorded vote against every prop- osition to improve the condition of North Carolina, and the assurance now, that, had he been a member of the last Legis: lature, he would have voted against the Central Railroad. And yet, he has the impudence to say, that he is now, and al- ways has been in FAVOR of a fair and jadicial system of Internal Improvements! Keep it before the People, that D. S. Reid voted to keep on our Statute Book the law by which “poor neighbor white men” could be SOLD! Keep it before the People that D.S. Reid voted while in Congress, for the odi- ous and hateful Jake Thompson Proviso; that while he pretended to pass a vote of thanks to the illustrious Warrior, who has just closed his mortal career, he de- signedly voted to censure him, for his HUMANITY shown to the women and children at the taking of Monterey ! Keep it before the People, that David S. Reid is an arrant demagogue.

Keep it before the People that. David S. Reid is in favor of drafting boys of 14 years of age IN TIME oF WAR! He calls Gov. Manly a Federalist, because he did not enlist during the war of 1812, when he was but a mere boy ! Keep it before the People that while D. S. Reid pretends to be the people’s candi- date and the poor mans friend, his whole course as a public man gives entire con: tradiction to such pretension. He has never yet advocated any measure, which entitled him to be called the friend to the poor man ! And lastly keep it before the people that, David S.

URSUANT to a Decree of May Term, 1850, of the Court of Equity for Union county, I will sell, on Saturday, the 10th of August next, at the late resi- dence of Robert Lemmond, dec’d, on a credit of one, two and three years, the very valuaple GOLD MINING Tracts, and other Tracts-of Land, lying in the Ceunty of Union, of which the said Lemmond died seized and possessed, viz: Ist. A Gold mining tract of 550 ACRES, lying on Goose Creek, adjoining the lands of Eli Stewart, Silas P. Stewart, George W.-Ritch, Jesse Stullwell and oth- ers, upon which there have been opened 10 VEINS, within less than 100 yds of Goose Creek, a stream, un- equalled in this section of country for Gold milling or any other species of machinery, the ere of one .of which was worth from $20 to $100 per bushel, and the ore of any of which will compare favorably with that of the richest mines in the State. Upon aimost all parts of this tract, are mineral iadications of the most flattering character. On the lower part of it entirely out of the region of the veins already discovered, lumps of virgin gold, weighing as high as 8 grains have been picked up repeatedly and at divers places upon the sur face of the plain and along the channel of the neighbor- ing branch, the surface everywhere panning out many particles of gold. Of this tract 100 acres are cleared and in cultivation and a Dwelling House, &c., and Grist Mill on the premises. Independent of its miner- al wealth, this tract, for the purposes of agriculture and machinery is very valuable. Goose Creek rans through it from West to East, dividing it into two near equat lots or parcels of highly fertile land, and furnish- ing falls and mill sites unsurpassed in this section of the country. The veins already discovered, in consequence of the disinclination of the late Mr. Lemmond to super- intending them (being a gentleman in easy circumstan- ices) and the expense of machinery, have been worked without machinery, and upon a scale so small as not to impair their value, in no place being sunk more than 25 or 30 feet, nevertheless, the labour expended upon them, has been well rewarded and there can be nodoubt that with capital and suitable means,they would yield the highest mining profits. Qnd. The well known Fox-hil! gold-mining tract off 195 acres, lying on the waters of Goose and Crooked Creeks, adjoining the lands of Amos Stevens, G. W. Ca}dwell, B. Oates and others. 3rd. A third tract of 60 acres, known as the Harkey tract, lying between said Creeks, adjoining the lands of the heirs at law of Jno. Weniz, dec’d, Phillip Condor and others. 4th. An undivided 4th of a tract of 149 acres, lying on the waters of Duck Creek, adjoining the lands of Eli Stewart, Jno. W. Davis, A. Revels and others, 5th. Also a tract of 74 acres, lying in the County of Mecklenburg, on the waters of Goose Creek, adjoining the lands of Z. Morris, David Barr, the lands of Phila- delphia Church and others. {> Persons wishing to examine the mines will call on Jackson C. Lemmond on the premises. C.M. T. McCAULEY,C.M E.

We donot ember at this time who related to us the pis therein contained, but of one thing ge re assured, that every time we have thought {ibem, our risibility has been very much taxed igieed- The incidents are as follows : On the borders of the stream, now called by the above name (Hoosick) there formerly dweh ition sayeth) a good old lady, of rather ing disposition, and who was possessed of 2a insatiable curiosity to learn, and an un. yerable desire to be the first to communi- aie, all the wonderful news in the vicinity.— gmong other things, she was prodigiously fond of bearing of all the lamentable cases of sick. gess (ar and near, and seemed to live on the ins and aches, the * gripes and grumbles” of jer fellow creatures. the sad and horrible, she never failed to run gat when tbe Doctor was passing, and bawl as oud as she could—" Doctor, who’s sick? This we repeated so often, that at length the man of medicine grew tired of her importunities, and rented a hundred stories with which he amus. ed himself. Al one time he told her he bad pea to see a patient who bad the Morta) Bor- borigmus, and that he had cured him by taking gut his “insides” and washing them in soap yds and vinegar. “Is it possible, Doctor!” ; igcide (a8 trad 5 £0881 man will bave a clean conscience after this.” A anotber time the Doctor told her he had call. ed.o see a child that was born without any tongue. **O me!” cried the old woman, * how ail it ever talk ?—is it a boy or a gal, Doc. or!’ * Agirl,’ be replied. * Ab, well” said she, *[ aint a bit afeared then but what it will mik wel! enough.” On a third occasion, he told her be had been to see a woman who was bitten by a rattle snake. He said the patient was yreal snuff? taker, and she was one day P : concealed among the briars, being highly en. raged at the smell of the snuff, sprang from his lurking place and seized the woman hy the end of she nuse. * O Lord!” exclaimed the old woman, and giving her own nose a thorough wipe, *didw’t it kill the woman?” © No, by Jove,” returned the Doctor, ** but it killed the Doctor from being so often questioned by the old lady, ‘** who’s sick ?” at last began to call the neighborhood of her residence Who's sick ; and when asked by bis neighbors, * which way are you riding to day, Doctor?” would reply weularly, “1m going to Who's sick.” This appellativn was al first caught trom the Doctor and tamuiaily used by all around him, and af. ierwards by those living ata distance, and thus pot only ihe neighborhood of the old Jady, but in process of tie the whole stream and coun. try ow its borders, came by a slight alteration im the spelling, to be called by the name of Hoosick For the Watchman.

The following letter from a Washington cor- respundent of the Philadelphia Bulletin, gives very interesting details of the last illness of Gen. | eral Taylor: t ) WasuinoTon, July 10, 1850. The capita] is shrouded in mourning. Pre- sident Tayjor is no more. He-breathed his Jast at 35 minutes past 10 o’clock yesterday evening, and lies in State this morning at the Executive Mansion, surrounded by his grief- _ stricken and afflicted family. It is impossible 1o convey to you in words the effect the appal- ling news bad upon the minds of all classes ‘here. And the same sympathy will be mani- | fested by all classes elsewhere. Few men ir- | respective of his exalted station as President | of the U. States, bave borne with them to the | grave higher claims to a nation’s sorrow, and | few, whether in his day or ages past, have | achieved mightier triumphs to render that name | immortal. HIS LAST ILLNEss, &c. I yesterday stated that his indispggition be- gan onthe Fourth. On the morning OPthat day _ he was, to all appearances, sound in health and 'in excellent spirits. In company with his fam- ily, and several of the heads of departments, | he attended at the National Monument, to hear Mr. Foote’s Independence oration, and even up | to five o’clock exhibited no symptoms of illness. | However, while upon the ground, he partook freely of the water; and then, afier considera- | ble exercise in walking and exposure to the sun, he-* felt,” as he expressed himself to Dr. | Weatherspoon, * very hungry,” and without re. | flecting that he was in an unfit condition to in- | dulge freely in fruits, etc., called for sume re- | fresbments, and ate heartily of cherries and i ) ) | wild berries, which he washed down with co- | pious draughts of iced milk and water. Al dinner, he applied himself again to the cher. ries, against the remonstrance of Dr. Weath. | erspoon, and in an hour was seized by cramps, | Which soon took the form of violent Cholera | morbus. His physician prescribed the usual remedies, but for a time he resisted, deeming | the attack only temporary, and that it would | yield finally to his naturally strong constitution. | ‘Towards midnight, instead of relief, the attack | increased in violence, and threatened desperate , results, if not speedily arrested. He continu- | ed in this condition, without much change, un- | til the evening of the 6th. It was then deem. /ed advisable to call in other physicians. Ac. | cordingly, Messrs. Hall and Coolidge were in- | vited, and promptly responded ; but they thought | it further advisable to send for the assistance of Dr. Wood, of Baltimore. ‘That gentleman attended immediately, and in the same cars | came Colonel ‘Taylor, the brother of the Gen. petal and his family, who had likewise been telegraphed for. By this time, (the morning of the 8th,) the | disease had made rapid encroachments on his frame; but by the united skill of these emi- | pent practitioners, the visible stage of the cho- | lera morbus was soon after checked. Howev. er, fever ensued ; and from a remittent char- acter, it took the form of typhoid. Anxiety | now began to manifest itself, not only among | the exalted patient’s family, but among the phy- | sicians ihemselves. His chances of life hung | upon a thread, Meanwhile, there were other causes, besides merely eating and drinking, that operated fa- ‘tally upon his system. To his medical attend. | ant on the 8th, be said, **I should not be sur. } prised if this were to terminate in my death. I did not expect to encounter what has beset me since my elevation to the Presidency. God knows that [ have endeavored to fulfil what I | conceived to be an honest duty. But I have beep mistaken. My motives have been mis. construed, and my feelings most grossly out. raged.” He alluded, doubiless, to the slavery | question, and the manner in which he had been variously assailed. Eventhe sanctiny of his sick chamber was invaded by certain southern ultraists, who came to warn him that unless he | took some necessary steps (o protect the South, | they would vote a resolution of censure on his conduct in the Calphin business. I repeat mere- ly what I know to be true. On the 5th, Messrs. Stephens and Tuombs waited upon him, as, a@ committee appointed by an ultra caucus; to te- monstrate upon the same subject; and accord- ing to facts since developed, the interview con- cluded with 4 threat similar to the above. It was not until afier his illness or the 4tb, and the conference of the 5th, that the mind of the President seemed so sadly oppressed, and which called forth the remarks just given. From this | forward, bis mental sufferings were equal to | his physical. | Bul to proceed. ‘Toward the evening of the | 8th, chronic type of dysentery which had set in, disappeared, and vomiting ensued. Dr. Joubron (!) of Philadelphia, who is eminent in | these branches of treatment, was telegraphed, anda reply received from him that he would arrive last evening; but alas! too late to be ot service. | | | The condition of the patient was now at its critical point. The sick chamber was restored to sulemn silence, attendants placed on the . outside, and none permitted to enter exceptthe | physicians ‘I'he tamily of the President, with Col, Bliss, and other relatives of the deceased, occupied a room adjoining, where they re- mained, overwhelmed with grief, and refusing | even the indulgence of nccessary repose. Bul- | letins were hourly sent out, to inform the mass. | /es of the changes observable in the patient; { | { { but these so slightly varied for the better, that all hope of his safety was dispelled at eleven ‘o'clock. From that period until daylight, the utmost anxiety prevailed. The ninth day dawned, but gloom surround. -ed the Executive Mansion. ‘Thousands began ‘to flood the avenues leading thither, and throughout the day a messenger was kept at the main dvor to answer the interrogatories | that were incessantly poured upon him. At 10 A. M. a report circulated that the President | had rallied; at 1 P. M. that he was dead.— | The consternation created by the latter rumor | was happily relieved by an official bulletin at half past 3 that the crisis had been passed, and ! 5 | | | } | sessing fortitude sufficient to withstand them. 'the moment, were his own family, including Col. Bliss, Col. Taylor, and family, Jefferson _Davis and family, Vice President Fillmore, | ing, when it was finally robed for the grave, | and laid out in state in the East room. 'ended the melancholy siege against a strong that he was then beyond immediate danger.— Bells rang for joy, and even the bays in the street lit bonfires and shouted in childish grat- ulation. The stream nowtothe White House was greater than ever, but about seven in the evening, the pall of gloom again shrouded all faces, for it was announced the illustrious bero was dying. I wil] not attempt to describe the commotion that ensued. Mrs. ‘Taylor thrice fainted from excess of apprehension, and Col. Bliss, who had never shed a tear perhaps-upon the battle plain, wept like an infant. At two hours pre- vious—the physicians refused to administer any more medicine—considering his case hopeless and in the hands of God. The heads of the department, corporate authorities of the city, the diplomatic body, and officers of the army and navy, paid their respects often during the day, and seemed to entertain lively feeling of solicitude for his safety. Every thing that could contribute to the comfort of the sick, thenceforward, was extended; but the sands of life had run out and his hours were num. bered. At nine the vomiting partially ceased, as all pain had disappeared about four in the after- noon. But the system had wasted under the shock and gradually sunk beyond recovery.— Green matter was thrown from his stomach at intervals until 20 minutes past 10—that pecu- liar coloration of bile that indicates the disso. Jution of patients thus seized. At thirty-five minutes past ten his wife and other members of his family were called to bis bedside to re- ceive his last earthly adieu—a farewell a dieu —a farewell that the stoutest could not gaze upon without a tear. It must be remembered that this was a domestic life; and his beloved partner ignorant as himself of those fashiona- ble formulas which sunder the husband from the wife, felt the first time the loneliness of a bereaved heart, and understood of that rigid discipline that would have dictated to her, “Go and weep in solitude—society decrees it.”— Her abandonment and grief were truly heart. piercing. THE LAST MOMENTS. At a few minutes past ten, as I have said, it became apparent that the soul of the bero and conqueror was about taking its rest. ‘The medical yielded to the spiritual agent, whose office it was to prepare for the approach of the King of ‘Terrors, But there was nothing in the conduct of the sufferer to indicate that he feared the mortal leap. In the secret com. munion of his heart with Heaven, who can say that he died not a Christian? Afier prayer he seemed refreshed and called for a glass of wa. ter, It was given him, and he drank sparing- ly. He then inquired of Dr. Weatherspoon how long he thought he would live, to which the latter replied, ** I hope, General, for many years,” but thinking this a useless deception, he added, “I tear not many hours.” “1 know it,” was the response ; then, after musing a moment, he asked for his family. They were sent for, and soon entered. The interview was indescribably affecting—Mrs. Taylor pros- trating herself at the bedside, and her children clinging around her with sobs and groans ex- pressive of their agony. ‘The pain, which had afflicted the patient in the side of his chest, ceased ; and attended by other symptoms of ease, it was thought he might endure till morn. ing. But he himself knew better, and so de- clared, in quite an audible voice. He was ask. ed whether he was comfortable. ‘“ Very,” he replied. ‘ But the storm in passing has swept away the trunk.” Finally he adverted to the subject of his previous broodings—the slavery question—and observed.—“ I am about to die —I expect the summons soon—I have endea- vored to discharge all my official duties faith. fully—I regret nothing, but Tam sorry that I am about tu leave my friends.” These were his last words. He essayed to speak to his wife a few moments before his demise, but his voice failed him. Dr. Weatherspoon adminis- tered a stimulus, but it was powerless in reviv- ing the functions. The soul of the hero had fled. “The lightnings may flash, and the thunder may rattle, He heeds not, he hears not, he’s free from all pain, He sleeps his last sleep, he has fought his last battle, ~ No sound can awake him to glory again.” Se sponsible for conduct with which be bad noth. ing todo. ~ He deplored the strife which pre- vails, but did not hesitate to ascribe the cause to sectional demagogues. ‘The dictatorial license assumed by Messrse‘Toombs and Stephens dis. pleased him, and the more so’ because it came from a banded organization’? but when it was hinted that his own friends would move a vote of censure, he sunk under the blow, and con- ceived that to be the most fatal stab ofall. He wag resolved, however, to pursue the line of pol- icy to which he had thus long adhered, though convinced that gentlemen of the South medita- ted Lisruin. This, while it preyed upon his mind, only determined him the more to stand by his doctrines. It is, notwithstanding these facts, pretty well ascertained, that had he lived, re- movuls from the Cabinet would have ensued be. fore the expiration of the month. The cloud was well nigh ready to burst, and in the deluge created, Messrs. Crawford and Clayton would have been swept away. The conversation be- tween the President, and those who waited up- on him officially, including this ultra delegation, I am not prepared fully to repeat, but his phy- sicians do not deny that it materially influenced his disease. Letconscience be their only pun- ishment. From the Raleigh Register. Mr. Enpiror: I desire to cal) the atten- tion of our Western people to the insincer- ity of the Democratic Party on the sub- ject of Free Suffrage,—a question in which we are deeply interested. 1 charge it on the leaders of that party, at least in middle and eastern counties ; notwithstan- ding all their loud professions to the con- trary, they have a settled purpose of fi- nally defeating this great measure ; and that the sole object in agitating it, has been party triumph. In the convention of 1835, called to amend our Constitution, containing so many odious restrictions, are to be found the names not only of nearly all the then leaders of the democratic party, who are since dead or removed—such as John Branch, Charles Fisher, R. D. Spraight, W. P.Dobson, L. D. Wilson, Nat. Macon and J. J. Daniel,—but sir singularly enough, we there find a whole phalanx of the present chiefs of that same party, not one of whom raised his voice against the unjust and sectional provisions already contained or then inserted in our Consti- tution, nor moved a peg towards the re- cognition of the great principle of Free Suffrage by that Conventson. Yes, sir; there are the names of Geo. Bower of Ashe ; Calvin Graves of Caswell, Henry Cansler of Lincoln, Asa Biggs of Martin, J. L. Gains of Montgomery, Lewis Mars- teller of New Hanover, James S. Smith of Orange, Weldon N. Edwards of War- ren, W. P. Stallings of Gates, John L. Baily (then) of Pasquotank, besides many others from all sections of the State. Is it possible these men could not have se- cured Free Suffrage in that Convention, had, they sincerely believed in the doctrine and desired to have done so? But, sir, the strangest truth yet to be told is the fact, that every living light of them ex- cept three, voted for the amended Consti- tution, and thereby expressed their oppo- sition to free suffrage. Mr. Edwards vo- ted against the amended Constitution, and Messrs. Biggs and Smith did not vote at all. Now for another scrap of history: Da- | ring the Legislature of 1840 - 41, a bill to | establish free suffrage was introduced, | read the first time and passed. On its) second reading the subject was thus sum- | marily disposed of :—(Journal, page 434.) | “ The Bill to secure to the Free White Men of the State the right of voting for the representatives in the Senate of the General Assembly, was read, and on motion of Mr. G.

INCIDENTS. The chief incidents that transpired during his illness are those embodied in the above.— He regretted in plain language, and so many words, the crusade waged against him. and thought that parties failed to du him justice.— The course pursued by Southern ultraists irrita- ted him, but only because they made him re- and mount Davy Reid upon it. The, mandate—* hear and obey ”—goes forth. Whereupon not only the little David bat all the Goliahs of the party, shout loudly and lustily for free suffrage. They were warned, in under tones by the shrewd ones of the East, that the question once | started could never be checked or controll. | ed in its career; but that in its legitimate | and necessary consequences, it must lead | to a total change from the present basis of Representation in the Legislature to | that of white population, the destruction | of the Federal Basis in the distribution of | the school fund and the abolition of all | property qualifications in the members of | both Houses. Jt was borrid to think of this. But no matter, said the leaders— 2 steam mills. the Party must do something. Accarding- ly, the followers shut their eyes and “go it blind.” From Cherokee to Carrituck they proclaim themselves for Free Suffrage— “in any shape or any form.” By the time the Legistature met, how- ever, the spell had been broken. | was @ witness to the proceedings of the House and well remember how the wire-workers tried to evade and stave off the issue.— Those from the-East and Middie were bold in their opposition and moved all the time to reject, to postpone, &c. The fol- lowing instances will show: On the 15th of December ’48, a series of Free Suffrage Resolutions were intro- duced, when “ Mr. Kelly, (a Democrat from Duplin) | moved that the resolution be rejected.” On the 9th of January ’49, the Free Suffrage Bill introduced by Mr. Sheek (a Western Democrat). being under conside- ration, with the amendment proposed by Mr. Rayner, calling a convention. Mr. Keen (a Democrat from Rocking- ham, David 8. Reid’s own county, and no doubt his intimate friend) moved that the Bill, with the amendment, be indefinitely postponed. Again, on the 12th of January, ’49, the same Bill being under consideration, “Mr. T. J. Person (another Democrat) perce the endefinite postponement of the ill.” Finally. the Party are whipped in, in the House ; the Bill passes that body and goes to the Senate, where it is killed.— Immediately afterwards, Mr. Rayner a- gain introduced his bill for a Convention of the People on this subject (the only cer- tain and fair mode of ascertaining the sense of the people.) On its second read- ing, it was defeated by a vote 74 to 16 (two-thirds of the whole number of mem- bers of the House being necessary to pass it.) Among the latter were 12 democrats and 4 whigs. These-democratic gentle- men should be retnembered :—they are Messrs. Brown, Davis, Herring, R. H. Jones, Kelly, A. J. Leach, Mosely, Me- Neill, Nixon, S. J. Person, Sanders, and C. Taylor, 6 of whom could have passed the bill! Several of this party did not vote at all—among them Mr. Keen. Such, Freemen of Western Carolina, is the history and fate of this question— slighted in ’85—laid on the table in ’40 and ’41 and killed in ’48 and ’49, and by Democratic votes. The reasons why the party in the Middle and East are opposed to this great measure and will always seek its defeat, are perfectly palpable and are well understood by them. 1| shall not recount them. But we of the West now see that there is no truth in the Demo- cratic party on this subject,and we are done with them. The Whigs are yet to be tried. But the West will henceforth steer her own course in this issue—irre- spective of party. And] say tothe Dem- ocratic members of the last Legislature and to their constituents who defeated Free Suffrage, you cannot prevent its ultimate success. The West bas been borne down by the unequal influence of the East. What we gained in the Con- vention of ’35, we were willing to abide by. We had no desire to wage a section- al warfare against our brethren of the East. But, sirs, when your leaders put up as their Standard bearer a man, who comes from you to us and undertakes to preach a crusade against yourselvs, and you endorse that man by your votes, we are bound to submit no longer. This thunder triumphed before. Remember 1835. And mark my prediction, it well triumph again. BUNCOMBE. July Ist, 1850. PLANK ROAD CONTRACT.

We may say that we are glad that the Messrs. Worth have procured this con- tract. It is infinitely better that the work should be carried on under the su- perintendance of gentlemen residing in the locality where it is being constructed, than by those at a distance. It will give confidence in the enterprise to persons in the up country, and create a better feel- ing ahaa any other arrangement could have done.—Caroliniaa. FREE NEGROES.

The term “ Locofoco.”—Many of the Democratic prints have exhibited a rest- iveness under this appellation for which we are unable to account. seeing that it originated at Tammany Hall. and was first applied by one portion of their own party to another. The Union, with that regard to propriety which distinguished its columns ander the management of the late “ Bandlecund” denounced it as a “ black guard epithet.” The Delaware Journa! notices one occasion on which it was used by a very famous member of the party. We quote from that paper : “In the democratic Conventions this epithet has been avowed and made a boast of, as characterising the Democrat. ic party, and especially as applicable to the Candidate nominated by that party for the Presidency in 1844. It happened to be in our power, without losing time, to turn to the record of the precedings of that Convention, In the Globe of June 6, 1844, is to be found the report of the pro- ceedings of the Baltimore Convention on the 29th day of the proceeding month, in which Mr. Frazier of Pennsylvania, (Reah Frazier of Lancaster, the “ war. horse ” of democracy.) when about to change his vote from Mr. Buchanan to Mr. Polk thus expressed himself: “Who are we going for now? (said Mr. F.) We are going for the man who fought so bravely and so undauntedly the Whigs of Tennessee—the pure whole hog LOCOFOCO Democrat, who goes against a Bank of the United States and all cor- rupting monopolies: against the distribu- tion of the proceeds of the public lands against the assumption of the debts of the States by the Federal Government ; against the Tory Whigs of this country and tyrannising England; in a word a man who goes against the ring streaked and speckled Whig party, and all its odi- ous, abominable measures.” WHIGS! BEWARE! We earnestly advise our Whig friends to BEWARE Of FALSE REPORTS, circulated by our opponents with a view to distract us, and to in. jure our Candidate in certain sections. Ru- mors in any number and of every character, prejudicial to Gov. Manly’s prospects in the East, (where, it is known, he cannot go before the election, to contradict them in person) have been in circulation here during the last week. One of these rumors, for instance, represents him as having taken very strong ground in the West in favor of altering the present basis of representation, &c. &c. We have ample rea- sons for believing that many of these slanderous “reports have been sent down here from Reid ‘himself? We warn our friends—especially our Eastern friends—To BE ON THEIR GUARD! | Remember that one thing is already resqlved upon by our opponents :—that if LYING caa | defeat Gov.

Fire anp Water.—The Pittsburg Amer- |ican chronicles an explosion that took place at Brady’s Bend, doing some dam- age to the Iron works there, and badly burning five or six of the hands. The accident was the result—and, we should think, the very natural result—of a new and rather strange process for purifying \the metal by directing a stream of water upon it while in the molten state. It ‘ would be hard to tell what effect water could have in such case, even if kept on the surface of the metal, except to chill the latter and be itself converted into steam ; bat it is easy to conceive that any of it getting below the iron, by permit- ting the moulding sand, would give rise to very violent and dangerous explosions.— Speaking on this point, the Pittsburg American says,—* We have known a ‘hearthful of metal, from one and a half to | two tons, destroyed and blown away by less than athimbleful of water.” “ Even /so much water,” it justly adds, “as will adhere to a piece of cinder no larger than 'a hickory nut, will occasion a boil, as it |is termed, that will endanger the sur- | rounding buildings and cause the loss of | the metal exposed to it.” Cure for Vanity.—We had been during the day running a line through a dense piece of woodland.

A charge of this uature, which we shall shew presently to be without the least foundation, even supposing it ought to prevent any man from supporting him, has been frequently made against Governor Manly.

It is sufficient to say that Gov, Manly takes no such position—-and advocates no change in the distribution ef the school money, If any change is made it should be nejther according \o white nor federal population, but according to the number of children in each County.— That would approximate nearer to justice and exact quality. But Gov. Manly takes no ground upon the subject ; and the truth is there is no question before the people about the distribu- tion of the school money. This charge there- fore, against Gov. Manly, is simply ontrue as well as absurd—and should receive no alten. tion from any one who values truth and consis- tency. We have fallen upon evil times, when a candidate for Governor of either party, thus descends to the manufacture of slanderous false- hood to promote his election. The very act proves him to be worthy of any public station and bjs election would be such a scandal and disgrace as North Carolina could never recov- er from. Our Governors have heretofore been high-minded and honorable men, who would scorn to hold an office obtained by such vile and detestable means. God grant that for the future they may never be otherwise. GOVERNOR MANLY’S PROGRESS. Our advices from the West represent our Candidate as even excelling himself in that fine, healthy region. The following extract from a letter from a friend in Surry gives a high- ly flattering account of the impression he is making in that quarter :—Raleigh Register. RockrorD, July 6th, 1850. “Yesterday the candidates for Governor Col. Reid led off with a very long speech in favor of Free Suffrage, and the Democratic creed, which consisted in abuse of the present administration. He charged Gov. Manly with being opposed to his favorite theme the free and equal privilege of all tree men of twenty-one having a vote for the Senate, as well as for members of the House. He further charg. ed Gov. Manly with a willingness to vote with Wilmot, Giddings, &c. forthe admission of Cal. Gov. Manly is also charged with a in his speech before the late Whig Convention in Raleigh, and that when he comes West, where the measure is popular, that he becomes warm upon the subject. Finally Reid’s hour and a halfends, and Gov. Manly began to show off the Democratic nominee in a handsome style. He showed that Reid need not attempt to deceive the West by his Free Suffrage, his fair and judicious system of Internal Improve. ment, &c. for he took up the Journals from ’35 to *40, and proved from bis votes that every system of improvements whatever, road, river and turnpike, had all received the hearty dis- approbation of Col. Reid. In fact he complete- ly demolished the exmember of Congress, upon every question upon which he touched. The Governor is making fair weather in the West, and the Ist of Agust will tell a tale long to be remembered by Cul. Reid, if he did come within 800 votes in 1848, A Correspondent writes us from Ashe, as follows : JEFFERSON, Ahse Co., July 9th. ‘Governor Manly addressed a large and re. spectable audience at this place on yesterday. Mr. Reid was in town, but being indisposed, did not come out. Never was an audience more enchained than by the pure eloquence and sound reasoning of our candidate, and nev- er was there a political epeech delivered in the town of Jefferson, and which the People, rich | and poor, Whig and Democrat, were better pleased. As svon as the speaking was ended, a shout of applause ran through the assembly, and there was a rush to shake the Governor bythe hand. A number of Ladies were pres. ent to grace the scene with their smiles.— When you hear a report from the sharp shoot. ers of Ashe, on the first day of August, you will hear glorious news for Manly and the Whig | cause !

House or Represenratives.—The Gal- phin Claim.—The House of Representatives on Monday, by a vote of more than two-thirds, adopted the resolutions declaring that the Gal. | phin claim was nota just one ; that the princi- pal was paid in conformity to an act of Con. gress ; but that said act did not authorize the Secretary of the Treasury to pay interest on said claim, and that its payment was not in conformity to law or precedent. On Tuesday the last resolution, censuring the Secretary of the ‘Treasury, was reconsidered by a vote of 115 ayes to 73 nays, anda series of amend- ments offered to it censuring the President, Secretary uf War, and Attorney General for their several actions in the matter. Pending these amendments an announcement of the critical illness of the President was made, and the House immediately adjourned. The tone of the Press generally, since the death of the late Presrpenr, like that of the public men at Washington, with here and there an exception, indicates a calm in the public mind, and we trust that nothing may occur. to re-awaken that deep excitement which for so many months past has distracted and agitated, most unfavorably for the nation, all our public counsels. The suddenness of General Tay. lor’s death seems to have made speechless the men who but yesterday were invoking anathe- mas upon the Union and Chief Magistrate of the Nation. Death and the grave have silenc- ed the assailers and their censures, and in that better part of our nature, the heart and the conscience, judgment and calm reflection have taken the place of the passiun and strife. It is! the voice of God which now speaks to us in those admonitory lessons which may give peace to the Republic and wisdom to its coun- sellors. We trust this dispensation of Provi- dence will not be lost upon us. Over the grave of the lamented dead, from the services of one so eminently national in his character, and in the midst of the public grief, our hearts cannot fail to be touched with that sense of self-sacri- fice and feeling of patriotism which is so ne- cessary to give strength and perpetuity to the Union.—N. Y. Express. Tribute of Respect to the late President.— Signs of sympathy were displayed far and near over the country while the funeral of General TayLor was progressing at Washington on Saturday. Simultaneous with the solemn man. ifestations here, on Saturday last, nought broke the funeral silence in Baltimore, Pittsburg, Philadelphia, New York, Boston, and many cities and towns, but the booming of the minute guns and the tolling ot the bells. In all of these places the flags were at half-mast, many of them bordered with crape. Most places of business, and Government and city offices were closed. Several of the public buildings, the post office, &e., were draped in black. Inthe great city of New York all the banks and in- surance offices closed at twelve o’clock, and no business was doing in Wall street. ‘The board of brokers adjourned on Friday till Monday.— The Tribune says : “The Cunrad steamship Europa, lying at her dock in Jersey City, fired sixty-six minute guns. Her flags were all at half-mast and shrouded in crape. This manifestation of re- spect to the nation’s bereavement is most hon orable to the agents of this line.”’ ilary procession is to take place Gn the *eity-of New York, in solemnization@f he funeral ob- sequies. All political insignia are to be exelu- ded from it.— Nat. Int. DEATH )F- ANDREW KERR. The melancholy dutydevolvew-on us, (which we should have discharged yesterday, but for the press upon our columns,) of chronicling the death af Anprew Kerg, senior partner of the well known firm of Kerrs & Hope, of this city, who died at the residence of his brother, Johw Kerr, on Sunday morning, in the sixty- third year of his age. A native of Rowan County, N. C., he came to Augusta in 1814, and was extensively en- gaged in mercantile pursuits till 1835, when he removed to Mississippi, and settled a plan- tation on the river, about sixty miles below Memphis, where he has since resided. He Jeft his residence a few days since in perfect health, on a visit to his friends in this cily, was taken sick on the way, and was quite indispos.- ed on his arrival in this city on Thursday morn- ing last. Medical aid was called, but neither that, nor the tender care of attached relatives, could arrest the violent progress of the disease. Thus has been cut off, in the full Vigor off a mature age, one long and favorably known in this community—a man distinguished not less for bis urbanity than this high toned integrity occurred.

But are we justified in hoping that the same feeling and purpose is actuating all the Whigs of every section of the State? We fear not. There is some disaffection in our ranke A note of discord has been sounding out from Rutherford county, especially, for some time past; and there is no doubt but some other lo- calities are more or less disaffected towards our starfilird bearer. However much this'is to be regretted, yet it is evident that it cannot now be remedied : they cannot be conciliated— they will not be persuaded to sacrifice on the altar of Whig principles their objections. We find gratification, however, in the fact, that the number of Whigs thus disaffected is small, and whilst we feel assured that they cannot be so unnatural as ardently to desire the defeat of their friends, we believe they will not contribute to the support of our common enemy. It remains to those therefore, who have ever fought well to fight harder. They must make up by extraordinary exertions and zeal, for the lost by the desertion of these friends. It can be done, and if the Whigs resolve to do it, it will be dune. Then to the Polls, and let our motto be, our country and victory. RALEIGH CLIQUE—STANDARD. The Raleigh Standard is doing all it can to stir up a prejudice in the Eastern and Western sections of the State against the Whigs of the Centre. The following sentence betrays, how ever, the whole object and aim of the editor, to wit: * Will they (the Eastern and Western peo. ple) sanction the conduct of this ‘clique’ and give to it their approbation and coufidence, €# by re-electing Charles Manly, one of its tools and representatives ?”_~ There it is, as clear as the sun. The Stan. dard’s fuss is only intended to defeat Governor Manly, and elect David S. Reid. For the suc- cess of this wish, he makes no bones to assail the whole community in which he lives, and from whom he derives his living in a great measure. To do this he would excite the bit. terest feelings in the East and West, and pro. duce any thing but harmony between the sec. tions. Such a man deserves, as he merits, the scorn of all well. wishers of the State. So far as this section is concerned, his ink and paper are lost.

Manly is a staunch Whig—an honest man, and a faithful publie servant. ‘There is no reason or sense in turn- ing out of office a good man to put in one whom we have never seen work well. Our County Candidates.—Let every man who has a drop of Whig blood flowing in his veins show his pluck on Thursday next. Stand up manfully to our candidates, and do all you can to secure every Whig vote. Persuade and urge those that are indifferent, and appeal to them warmly to make a firm stand for our cause.

Aman who would cheat a printer would stegl a meeting-house and rob achurch-yard, Jfhe had a soul, ten thousand of its size would have more room in a musquito’s eye than a bullfrog in the Pacific Ocean. He ought to be winked at by blind people, and kicked to death across logs by cripples. —(Ann Arbor Wolverine. Amen! Such a being would steal -the mo- lasses out of a sick nigger’s ginger-cake: take from a drunken man’s mouth his last chew of tobacco ; walk at night through the rain to de- prive a blind sheep of its fodder; Yravel filly miles on a fasting stomach to cheat a dying womay out of her coftin, and steal wax out of a dead dog’s ear. Such a man ought to be tied to g shevp’s tail and butted to death. — Florence Enquirer, Exactly so, and that isn’t all. He would break a surveyor’s level to get out the alcho- hol, and his wife’s watch fur the mock jewels ; bid against a widow at her dead husband’s auc- tion, and steal the orphans’ shoe-strings befure daylight.— Temperance Banner. Yes, thousands of such souls as that man’s would rattle in a mustard.seed—dance contra dances on the point of a wasp’s sting—or march abreast through the eye of a cambric needle, A solar microscope would fail to dis. cover them, and when found they would not fit the smallest crauny in creation..-Boston Post.

Sucha fellow would rob a lame goose’s nest of the last egg—~steal a rats tail from a blind kitten; for there’s no- thing mean he wouldn’t do. He should be tied up to.a broomstick and scolded to death by old maids, and his bones should be made into but. ions to be worn on the breeches of convicts. Rising Sun Mirror.

A Novel Suspension Bridge. “They are coming towards the bridge ; they will most likely cross by the rocks yonder,” observed Raoul. “How—swim jt? | asked. torrent there !” ‘Oh, no,’ answered the Frenchman; ‘monkeys would rather go into fire than water. If they cannot leap the stream they will bridge it.’ ‘Bridge it! and how ?” ‘Stop a moment Captain—you shall see.’ Tbe balf human voices now sounded near- er, and we could perceive that the ani- mals- were approaching the spot where we lay. the opposite bank, headed by an old grey chieftain and ollicered like so many sold- fers. They were. as Raoul had said, of the comazdreja or ringtailed tribe. One—an aid-de-camp., or chief pioneer, perhaps—ran out upon a projecting rock, and, alter looking across the stream, as if calculating the distance, scampered back and appeared to be communicating with the leader. This pradnced a move- ment in the troop.

Here, after two or three vibrations, he claiched atiqh and held fast. ‘his movement was executed a. droitly. just at the culminating point of the os. cillatjon, in order to save the intermediate liuks from the violence of a too sudden jerk ! The chain was now fast at both ends, form. ing a complete suspension bridge, over whieh the whole troop, to the nomber of four or five hundred past, with the rapidity of thought. It was one of the most comical sights I ever beheld, to witness the quizzical expression of countenance’ along that chain! =~ The troop was now on the other side, but how were the animals forming the bridge to getthemselves over? This was the question which suggested itself, Manifestly, by number one letting go his tail. But then the potn d’ap- pui on the other side was much lower down, aud number one with half.a-dozen of his neighbors, would be dashed against the oppo- site bank, or soused into the water. Here, then, was a problem, and we waited with some curiosity for its solution. It was soon solved. A monkey was now seen attach. ing his tail to the lowest on the bridge, anoth. er girded him in a similar manner, and another, the Mafision Hotel, formerly occupied by them; to their New and Commodious Store, opposite the Man- sion Hotel, beg leave to inform the publie that they are constantly receiving the largest and best seleeted assort- meat of DRUGS, MEDICINES, Paints, Oils, Dye-Stuffs, Window Glass, Perfumery, Fancy Articles, Brandeys, Wines, Patent Medicines, &c, ever brought to this market, consisting in part of the fol- lowing, viz: DRUGS.

These last were all powerful fel. | lows ; and, running up to a high limb, they | lifted the bridge into a position almost -hori- zontal, Then a scream from the last monkey ot the new formation warned the tail end that all was ready : andthe next moment the whole chain was swung over, and landed sately on the op- posite bank. ‘he lowermost links now drop. ped off like a melting candle, while the higher ones leaped to the branches and came down by the trunk. ‘The whole troop then scamper- ed off into the chapparal and disappeared !— [ Capt.

URSUANT to a Decree of May Term, 1850, of the Court of Equity for Union county, I will eel on Saturday, the 10th of August next, at the late reg. dence of Robert Lemmond, dec’d, on a credit of one two and three years, the very valuaple , D MINING Tracts, and other Tracts of Land, lying in the County of Union, of which the said Lemmond died seized ang possessed, viz: Ist. A Gold mining tract of 550 ACRES, lying o Goose Creek, adjoining the lands of Eli Stewart, Silay P. Stewart, George W. Ritch, Jesse Sullwel! and oth. ers, upon which there have been opened 1) VEINS, within less than 100 yds of Goose Creek, a stream, un. equalled in this section of country for Gold milling » any other species of machinery, the ore of one of which was worth from $20 to $100 per bushel, and the ore of any of which will compare favorably with that of the richest mines in the State. Upon almost all parts of this tract, are mineral indications of the mos flattering character. On the lower part of it entirely out of the region of the veins already discovered, \umps of virgin gold, weighing as high as 8 grains have been picked up repeatedly and at divers places upon the sur- face of the plain and along the channel of the neighbor ing branch, the surface everywhere panning out many particles of gold. Of this tract 100 acres are clrsred and in cultivation and a Dwelling House, &c., and Grist Mill on the premises. Independent of its miner al wealth, this tract, for the purposes of agriculture and machinery is very valuable. Goose Creek runs through it from West to East, dividing it into two near equa: lots or parcels of highly fertile land, and turnish- ing falls and mill sites unsurpassed in this section of ihe country. The veins already discovered, in consequence of the disinclination of the late Mr. Lemmond to super. intending them (being a gentleman in easy circumstan- ces) and the expense of machinery, have been worked without machinery, and upon a scale so small as not to impair their value, in no place being sunk more thes 25 or 30 feet, nevertheless, the labour expended upon them, has been well rewarded and there can be nodoub) that with capital and suitable means,they would yield the highest mining profits. Qnd. The well known Fox-bill gold-mining tract of 195 acres, lying on the waters of Goose and Crooked Creeks, adjoining the lands of Amos Stevens, G. W. Caldwell, B. Oates and others. 3rd. A third tract of 60 acres, known as the Harkey tract, lying between said Creeks, adjoining the lands of the heirs at law of Jno. Weniz, dec’d, Phillip Coader and others. 4th. An undivided $th of a tract of 149 acres, lying on the waters of Duck Creek, adjoining the lands of Eh Stewart, Jno. W. Davis, A. Revels and others, 5th.

We have no reference, in what we have said, to the particular course which Mr. Clay advo. cates in the present trying conjuncture of pub- lic affairs. It is enough for us that be occupies on this occasion, as he always has done, broad national ground, and that his exertions yester- day and on previous occasions in the Senate have had for their object to settle amicably, hon- orably, and satisfactorily, by measures which he deems adequate, questions which have more distracted the country for the last twelve months than any which have been agitated in the pub- Jic councils for the Jast thirty years. Instead of this passing notice of Mr. Clay’s speech of yesterday, we should have given the speech itself. of which our Reporters would have enabled us to furnish this morning a ful) report, had it not been desired that the publica- tion should be deferred to allow of the revision of it. Nat. Int. July 23. Spanish Insolence.—Under this head the papers give an account, (whether true or false we know not,) of rudeness displayed by the Spanish Minister, Narvaez, to Mr. Barringer, the U.S. Minister at the Court of Madrid.— The story is, that at an entertainment given by the Neapolitan Minister, Prince de Carini, Mr. Barringer approached Narvaez, in the ball room, to salute him; but the latter shouted out at the top of his voice, ‘I will not have any- thing to say to one who represents a nation that harbors pirates and encourages public fel- onies.” Having uttered these words in a tone loud enough to be heard all over the room, Narvaez turned his back upon the American Plenipotentiary, who was at once “ cut” by all the Spaniards present. We think the story of doubtful credibility, notwithstanding the evident ill humor of Spain, under the idea that the U. S. countenanced or encouraged the Cuban expedition. If true, it was an insult for which an ample apology should be demanded. P.S. The Baltimore Patriot says that let- ters have been received from Madrid, of four days later date than that of the alleged insult, in which no allusion is made to any such oc- currence. ‘On the contrary, an account is given of the participation of Mr. Barringer and lady in a diplomatic presentation, on the 17th, to the Duchess of Montpensier, sister of the Queen, (only lately arrived at Madrid) where their reception is spoken of as having been highly courteous and satisfactory. The occurrence of any such outrage, as that spo- ken of in the English papers would of course have precluded any relation between Mr. Bar- ringer and the Spanish Government, other than that of demanding and receiving an apology.” This is not the first malignant and false re. port which has been put in circulation respect- ing Mr. Barringer.—Fay. Observer. We understand, and take great pleasure in announcing the fact, that the prisoners taken at Contoy, and in whose behalf our Govern. ment had interposed, have been released by the Spanish authorities from their prisons in Havana, and that they may be soon expected in the United States. ‘This intelligence will be gratifying to good men in both countries, inasmuch as it will remove the cloud which hung for awhile over their amicable relations.

We understand from a gentleman who came passenger on the Florida boat on Saturday, that a party who had been ex- cavating on the south end of Cumberland Island for some time past, succeeded in finding and carrying off a large amount of treasure. The existence of this treasure, has long been a matter of speculation, and many persons have hitherto been at- tracted to the place by reports of its whereabouts, but have been unsuccessful in their attempts to discover it. The pres- ent party it appears, procured their iafor- mation in regard to its locality, from an old man, long suspected of hav- ing been connected with piratical opera- tions, and have thus been successful in securing the long hidden treasure. A schooner had been lying off on the South end of the leiceal several days, whose movements created some surprise. She at length came in, took the party on board, and sailed for parts unknown.— We understood the party consisted of fif- SALISBURY, N. C., THURSDAY, AUGUST 1, 1850. a LETTERS OF PRESIDENT FILLMORE.

Mr. Fillmore’s Letter to Mr. Gayle. Avsany, (N. Y.) July 31, 1848. Dear Sir: 1 have your letter of the 15th instant. but my official duties have been so pressing that I have been compelled to neglect my private correspondents. I had also deter- mined to write no letters for publication bear- ing upon the contest in the approaching can- vass. But, as you desire some information for your own satisfaction in regard tothe charges brought against me fromthe South on the slave question, | have cuncluded to state briefly my position, While I was in Congress there was much agitation on the right of petition. My votes will doubtless be found recorded uniformly in favor of it. The rule upon which I acted was, that every citizen presenting a respectful petition to the body that by the constitution had the power to grant or refuse the prayer of it, was entitled to be heard; and therefore the petition ought to be received and considered. If right and reasonable, the prayer of it should be granted, but if wrong or unreasonable, it should be de. nied. I think all my votes, whether on the re- ception of petitions or on the consideration of resolutions, will be found consistent with this rule. I have none of my Congressional documents here, they being at my former residence in Buffalo, nor have I access to any papers or memoranda to refresh my recollection; but I think at some time, while in Congress, I took occasion to state jn substance my views on the subject of slavery in the States. Whether the remarks were reported or not, I am unable to say, but the substance was: That I regarded slavery as an evil, but one with which the Na. tional Government had nothing to do. ‘That by the Constitution of the United States, the whole power over that question was vested in the several States where the institution was tolerated. If they regarded it as a blessing, they bad a constitutional right to enjoy it; and if they regarded it as an evil, they had the power and knew best how to apply the remedy. I did not conceive that Congress had any pow. er over it, or was in any way responsible for its continuance in the several States where it existed. I have entertained no other senti- ments on this subject since I have examined it sufficiently to form an opinion, and | doubt not that all my acts, public and private, will be found in accordance with this view. I have the honor to be your ob’t. s’nt. MILLARD FILLMORE. Hon. Joun Gaye. Letter from Mr. Fillmore on the Slave Trade between the States. ALBANY, September 13, 1848.

The following are the resolutions referred to: 10. Resolved, That we recognise in Mit: LARD Fittmore, the Whig candidate for the Vice Presidency, @ genuine republican, a pure patriot, a man of exalted intellect and high ac- quirements—one who has served the Republic long and faithfully in the civil department of Government, whose every act manifests that he is a true devotee of liberty, whose name is prominently identified with the Whig party, and whose talents.and patriotism justly eatitle him to the love and admiration of his countrymen. 11. Resolved, That the charge of abolition- ism, recklessly adduced against Millard: Fill- more, by unscrupulous partisan opponents, for the purpose of exciting sectional prejudices against him, has no foundation whatever in truth ; but, on the contrary, is triumphantly dis. proved by the solemn declaration of our candi- date for the Vice Presidency, uttered long since in the Councils of the nation, that Congress has no power, under the constitution, to inter. fere with the institution of domestic slavery as it exists in the States of this Union; and that (therefore we feel assured that Southern insti- tutions wil] never be assailed or molested by any act of Millard Fillmore. REMARKS OF MR. WEBSTER. Mr. Secretary, at a time when the great mass of our fellow citizens enjoy re- markable health and happiness through- out the whole country, it has pleased Di- vine Providence to visit the two Houses of Congress, and especially this House, with repeated occasions for lamentation and mourning. Since the commencement of the session, we have followed two of our own members to their last home, and we are called upon, in conjunction with the other branch of the Legislature, and in full sympathy with that deep tone of affliction which I am sure is felt through- out all the country to take part in the last and due solemnities of the funeral of the late President of the United States. Truly sir, was it said in the communi- eation read to us, that, “a great man has fallen among us.” The late President of the United States, originally a soldier by profession, having gone through a long and splendid career of military service, had at the close of the war with Mexico, become so much endeared to the people of the United States, and had inspired them with so high a degree of regard and confidence, that, without solicitation or application, without pursuing any devious paths of policy, or turning a hair’s breadth to the right or the left from the path of duty, a great, and powerful, and generous people saw fit by popular vote and voiee to confer upon him the highest civil au- thority in the nation. We cannot forget that, as in other instances, so in this the public feeling was won and carried away in some degree by the eclat of military renown. So it has been always: and so it always will be, because high respect, for noble feats in arms, has been, and all- ways will be, outpoured from the hearts of the members of a popular Government. But it will be a great mistake to suppose that the late President of the United States owed his advancement to the high civil trust, or his great acceptability with the people, to military talent or ability alone. I believe, sir, that associated with the highest admiration for those qualities possessed by him, there was spread throughout the community a deep degree of confidence and faith in hisinteg- | 4 Sws | ¢ ; rity and honor and uprightness as a man. | Plercing eyes, & killing pair of [ believe he was especially regarded as and syren Voice, shall enter a hardy, military character, For a very chort time, of this.country, and.at hat Lime very per- : ilous, embarassing circumstances egisted between the United States. and the dndi- ans on the borders, and war was aeteally ‘ raging between the United Statesand the - Florida tribes ; and 1 very well remember that those who took counsel together ‘on that occasion officially, and who were de- ’ sirous of placing the military command ia the safest hands came to the conclaniea. that there was no man ia the service more cal iyioniieg the qualities of military ability and great pers idence than Zachary TayLor - id he eas. of cours, appointed to the command. . Unfortunately his career at the head of this Government was short. For part, in all that I have seen of him, I have found much to respect and nothing to con- demon. The:circumstances under which he conducted the government, for the few months he was at the head of it. have been such as perhaps not to give to him a’ very favorable, certainly not a very long opportunity of developing bis principles and his policy, and to.carry them oat; but I believe he has Jeft.on the minds of the country a strong impression—first, ¢ his absolute honesty and integrity of « acter ; next! of his sound ceouial sense ; and lastly, of the mild ness, and friendliness of his t wards all his conutrymen. ; But he is gone. He is ours no.more, except in the force of his example. Sir, I heard with infinite delight the sentiments expressed by my honorable friend from Louisiana, (Mr. Downs,) who has just re- sumed his seat, when he earnestly prayed that this event might be ased to soften the animosities, to allay party recrimina- tions, and to restore fellowship and good feeling among the various sections of the Union. .Mr. Secretary, great as is our loss today, if these inestimable and iaap- preciable blessings shall have been ge- cured to us, even by the death of Zachary Taylor, they have not been purehased at too high a price; and if his spirit, from the regions to which he has ascended, eould see these results flowing from his unexpected and untimely end—ifhe could see that he has entwined a soldier’s lau- rel around a martyr’s crown, he would say exulltingly, “ Happy am 1, that by my death I have done more for my country which I loved and served, than I did or could do by all the devotion and all the efforts that I could make ia her behalf da- ring. the short span of my eartbly exist- ence.” Mr. Secretary, great as this calamity 16 we mourn, but not as those without hope. We have seen one eminent man, and an- other eminent man, and at last a man jn the most eminent station, fall away from the midst of us. But | doubt net that there is a Power above us exercising over us that paternal care that has marked our progress for so many years. 1] have confidence still that the place of the de- parted will be supplied: that the kind, benificent favor of Almighty God will still be with us, and that we shall be borne along. and borne upward and upward, on the wings of His sustaining Providence. May God grant that in the time that is before us, there may not be wanting tots as wise men for our counsellors, as he was whose funeral obsequies we now propose to celebrate.

NEJGHBOR WILKINS’s HINT. _A man having purchased a worn out farm, and invested all his money in bis real estate, tried hard by bis labor to make it produce a crop. After a laborious summer’s work he sig- wally failed. His crops of corn, oats, and buck. weak, were scarcely worth harvesting. Win- ter came on and with it discouragement and despondency. He met bis neighbor, and in the language of scripture, °° What shall I do 7” His neighbor in reply, in true yankee style. answered this question by askiag another.— “ Neighbor Wilkins. have you ever kept a hired man on your farm?” “ Always.” * How can you gain the greatest amount of labor io a sea- son trom his effurts 7” ‘In the first place give him a plentiful supply of feed, for a full stom. ach for a laborer is a jewel; neat, hegin the day early, and keep steady at it.” “ You have anewered truly; manage your farm as you do your hired man. Feed 4 with nourishment for vegetation ; feed it full and keep it ted. Clear out the barn yard; dig up the suck from the swamps; sew on all the ashes you can get; cart sand from the drainage of the streets.— When you begin upon a field, feed it; feed it full and keep it fed. Then go to the next lot, and feed it in the same style. Sweb fields re- collect the kindness of the owner, and they pay bim for it more than fifty fuld. Then plough and dig and the reward is sure.” — Neighbor Wilkins opened his eyes in aston- ishment at bis own ignorance, and said,“ I see! I see! A feeble starved man cannot wotk much. A poor starved field cannot bear much.” Commoa sense might have taught bim, but it had not. ‘Thousands, like bim, scratch gravel” for naught all their days. Neighbor Wilkins saw where he missed it The nest year he planted four acres of corn, afier he had coated the field with all the fer- lilizing material he could gather during one sbort winter. He told me that “ be had scrap- ed al] creation.”” November told a true story. Two bundred and sixty bushels of corn made him laugh. His wife made puddings without grumbling, and his children ate with pleasure. Thus, friend Wilkins went from field to field, and fed it as he went. In its turn it fed him, his family, his cattle. His barren farm be. came productive; his naked fields became clothed with herbage. He became rich. His farm was rich. Peace dwelt in his household plenty filled his granaries, and fortune smiled upon him. Are you an unfortunate farmer, cursed with poor land and stinted crops? Look at Mr. Wilkins, and in the language of the Bible, “*Go thou and do likewise.” Cowardly.—There is a class of “ delicate,” wasp-waisted females, who are so frightened if they chance to see a live cow in the street before them, however meek or antibelligerent in her manifestations, that they run, scream, and make as big ‘a fuss generally,” as if they had encountered a tiger ready to spring upon them, or an alligator with jaws wide open to devour them. Some contemporary, who evi- dently ** don’t think much” of such “ cow-ardly proceedings, and whose speech is distinguished hy more blunt honesty than gallantry, recom mends to such timid ladies to read the follow. ing extract trom Colman’s letters, in which he speaks of a fair and cattle show in England : “There were a great many farmers’ wives and daughters, as well as a great many of the noblesse, in the yards, inspecting the imple. ments and cattle, with catalogues in their bands, and showing the remarkable points in the ani- mals with as much skill and sagacity as if they had been experienced breeders of live stock ; some of them are also, competitors for the pre- miums. The English women and ladies, to their praise be it spoken, while they are as far from anything indelicate as any persons I have seen, have no sickly affectation of modesty, This remark drew all the children arouad ber and the dyiog child. ‘The father was sit. ting upon what was intended for a bedstead, without bis shoes or coal, with his hands thrust into his pockets, apparently indifferent to all that was passing around him. His bead was regting upon his breast, and his eyes were fas. tened upon the floor, as if he was afraid to look up to the sorrowiog group, who were watching | the countenance of the dying jnfant. There was a moment of silence! Not a gound was beard. Even the sobs of the little had ceased. Death was crossing the hov- el’s threshhold! ‘Fhe very respiration of the household seemed suspended, when a slight shivering of the limbs of the infant, and a shriek from her hai! conscious mother, told that vital spark had fled. For the first time the father moved; slowly advanced to where his wife was seated; with quivering lips he whispered, ‘Is Willie dead?” * Yes, James, the poor babe is dead!’ was) the choking reply ot the mother, who still sat | ge at first gazing upon the face of ber little one.

Although we should have desired to see Mr. King’s amendment adopted, we think Mr. Clay gained a decisive triumph over his distin- guished competitor from Georgia, on the constitutional points in dispute. We have not room today for the de- bate, bat the following extract from one of Mr. Clay’s speeches may properly be separated from the rest of the report, as showing the high and patriotic views with which Mr..Clay approaches the fi- nal decision of the fate of the Compromise. Mr. President, | am as may well be supposed, anxious for the passage of this measure. I do not care about myself.— Man or mankind have naught of honors, or of office in their gift which I expect or which I desire. AsI feel myself in some degree. at my time of life, poised, as it were, between Heaven and earth, my hopes, my faith, and my confidence are towards the former. I equally desire while I remain upon earth—while ] linger here for a few short years, perhaps—to discharge faithfully the duties and obliga- tions whieh result from my connection with that society of which I am an hum- ble member. These are my thoughts. I desire no eclat. Ihave said it twenty times, and [ will repeat, that I do not want especially the adoption of my own measures ; that I was willing to take any other form of adjustmeut—yes, sir, will- ing to take any other form in which may be presented these various measures be- fore the Senate, or any seperate form—— any mode that could succeed. I have re- peatedly declared that ] was wedded to no particular plan of harmonizing and tranquilizing this country : it was the end, the object—the great, and—if I might be allowed to use an expression, which per- haps may appear extravagant—the God- like purpose of restoring peace, and con- tentment, and harmony, to this distracted people. I have no desire at my time of life, to do any thing to add to the little reputation that | may have acquired in my former public service in the councils of the country. I cannot detach myself from the measure itself. I regret it ex- ceedingly. I would do it with infinite satisfaction, if I could. But sir, when I contemplate the benificent results that are to come from the adoption of the whole plan of settlement, | feel compelled, until something better is proposed, to give it my best exertions. Ifthere were any person- al benefit I could do, any sacrifice I could undergo for the benefit of the Senator from Alabama, (Mr. King.) and the Sen- ator from Georgia, (Mr. Berrien,) not.u.ing would give me greater pleasure; but with the views which | have of the ne- cessity that these measures should be com- bined, and that their general features should remain unchanged, I have been compelled to vote against several amend- ments that have been offered. I believe that the success of the measure requires that the whale planshould remain intact— that all its parts should coexist with each other. Should the whole be rejected, | shall be prepared for it, as ] am prepared for watever events I may be exposed to du- ring the remainder of my days. Its fate I have known is not absolutely certain.— ] hoped and believed that it would carry, because of my vivid appreciation of its benefits. 1] hope and believe still that it will carry ; but if it does not, I will still not despair of my country. 1 will still hope that some one more fortunate than myself may bring forward some great comprchensive measure to reunite the Union of our fore fathers. If the vote is | adverse to my wishes 1 submit—I resign _myself to it. I shall have the consolation of knowing that I have sought most anx- iously to acquit myself of my duty—my I shall feel no other regrets connected with the fail- ure of this measure, if there should be a failure, than those which relate to the welfare of the people of this country, and none personal to myself—none, sir, none. I beg pardon. 1 came here with no ex- pectation of saying anything on the sub- ject, but after the remarks that were made, | thought. as chairman of the com- mittee which reported this bill, that it was incumbent on me to say so much.

From th Sonal oki Tee There may gan look un- | moved upon th enry Clay, in support of his eompromise bill; bot wey” 5 Daty” was the watchword of Zachary Tay- lot." “ Ready and Faithful” had been the ancestors. With “ Ready and Faithful” vp- on his lips he was gathered to his fathers. “fam ready to meet death—TI have endeav.- ored faithfully to discharge my duty.” These. words spoken by an aged patriot on the borders of the grave, are simple and sublime. They remind us of the grand and affecting declaration of the apostle Paul: “For I am ready to be offered, and the time of my departure is at hand. I have fuught the good fight, I have finished my eourse, I have kept the faith.” The solemn sentence with which Gen. Taylor closed his eyes upon the world, deserves to be engraven upon his monument as an illustration of his character and a history of bis life. It ought to be studied and imitated by all living men, that they may s0 live as to know how to die. Every man who hears this affirmation of the departed hero—* I have endeavored faithfully to discharge my duty,” at once remarks, “That is true. There isnodvubt of thal.” Amid the snows of the North west, amid the swamps of the fields of Palo Alto and Resaca, amid the red ravines of Buena Vista, and in the lofiy ele- vation of the Presidential chair, Duty was the polar star of Zachary Taylor. Ordered to the Rio Grande with an inefficient force, he obeys with alacrity, declaring, “* Should the enemy ob- struct my way, in whatever numbers, | shall fight him.” Stripped of his veteran regulars at Saltillo, he advances at the head of five thousand militia, with a firm and cheerful front, to meet the 20,000 picked troops of Mexico, eager to sacrifice his life rather than abandon his duty. Called by a grateful people to the Presidential chair, he honestly eought to decline a station for the responsibilities of which he re- peatedly declared that he felt himself incapa- ble; but finding that the popular mandate would not be withdrawn, he yielded, solely from his constant principle of obedience to the voice of his country. Occupying the Presidential chair, he called around him counsellors in whose ability and experience he confided, and honestly and industriously sought, according to the best lights before him, to perform the obliga. tions of his new and most responsible position. He came to the government at a period more perilous to jts stability and peace than any which has occurred since its foundation, and he has fallen a victim, we do not doubt, to the ha- rassing and (terrible anxieties which a man must suffer, who, under such circumstances, faithfully endeavors to discharge his duty.” At the shrine ot Duty he was a worshipper in Life and a Martyr in Death. Well might the artillery of Heaven welcome to the battlements above this Hero, who was not only invincible in war, but who knew how to conquer his own spirit. Well might angel! hands form a triumph- al arch, beneath which bis victorious soul should ascend to the reward of virtue and valor in the skies.* Generous, intrepid old chief! Enviable in- deed is a renown like thine! Illustrious thy lot, to do such brave and noble deeds as shall gild the page of thy country’s history for ages afier thy sun has set. Glorious to sleep upon a hero’s couch, wrapped in thy country’s flag, and followed to the grave by a nation’s notes of lamentation. But better far than these— better than all earthly recompense and honor to stand at the gateway of the tomb with hoary locks clothed with a crown of righteousness, and to declare with expiring lips, * 1 am ready to meet death—I have faithfully endeavored to pertorm my Duty.” *In Washington city, on the morning of the 10th inst., a single clap of thunder was heard, succeeded by a slight shower of rain. Shortly afterwards, a beauti- ful rainbow, which spanned the vault above, appeared immediately over the the President’s mansion. Death of the Hon. S. S. Prentiss.—We are extremely pained to hear of the death of this distinguished lawyer and orator. ‘This sad in. telligence was brought in a private letter to Mr. R. E. Hammet, of this city, who bas politely communicated it to us. Mr. Prentiss died at Logwood, the residence of his mother-in-law, Mrs. Jane C. Williams, near Natchez, on Monday evening last, a few minutes before se- ven o'clock. He left the city a short time, for the purpose of going tothe Virginia Springs, in order to recruit his health, but it was too late. Death overtook him on his way, and has thus extinguished one of the brightest intellects that ever adorned the bar of the Southwest. Mr. Prentiss was about forty-three years of age, and leaves an accomplished wife and four young children to lament his early death. Neo man had a wider circle of admiring friends, and none deserved them mores” His brilliant qualities of mind, his abounding wit, general temper, generosity and bravery, made him a universal favorite. His oratory, especially be- fore the people, was unequalled for copious dic- tion, unlimited command of the most beautiful and appropriate imagery. and a perfect control of the feelings of his auditors. As a lawyer he had already reached the highest rank in his profession. But his virtues and his character require a more elaborate eulogium thao this hasty tribute. Mr. Prentiss was a native of Portland, Me., whence he emigrated to Mississippi about the year 1826. He started in life there as a teach. er of a school, but soon displayed his eminent abilities, and rapidly arose tu legal and political distinction. He was elected, with Mr. Word, to the T'wenty-fifth Congress, at the second election in 1838, having maintained a contest in the House of Representatives for the seats occupied by Messrs. Claiborne and Gholson, wherein he made for himself at once a nation. al reputation. In 1845 he removed to this city, where he enjoyed a most extensive and profit. able practice, und universally admired fur his genius and virtues.—N. O. Picayune. Our Minister at Madrid.— Anexchange paper says that the alleged insult to Mr. Barringer by Gen. Narvaez, on the 16th June is proved to be a sheer fabrication, private letters having been received from Mr. B. dated June 18th to 20th, in which no mention is made uf any such circum- stance. On the contrary, an account is given of the participation of Mr. Barrin- ger and lady in diplomatic presentation on the 17th to the duchess of Montpensier sister of the Queen, who only lately ar- rived at Madrid, where their reception is spoken of as having been highly courte- ous and satisfactory. P We are y which we exp ypon Millard Fillmora’s a-- cession 4... f seat, that he would prove himself a safe and uational President, by the general tone of the Northern press, the con. servative portion of which shows its confidence in ahe new incumbent, and free-soiler’s their has the fallowing cheering article: MR. We have reason to believe that Book is read by as many people at the South and with as much favor as any paper North of the Potomac, atid’ begause we think so we shall venture upon a few wards of advice toour South. ern friends, and at the same time endeavor to give them a fittle insight into the character of President Millard Fillmore. We do not pre- tend to an intimacy with Mr. Filimore that warrants us in speaking of his private charac. ter or personal peculiarities, but we can speak of bim as a meighbor and a man, and tell you what he is at bome—bhow he is esteemed by those who know him best, and give you an op. portunity to judge of him and his character, as you would one of your own townsmen. During the canvass of 1848, many of your papers assailed Mr. Fillmore as an abolition. ist, accused him of writing letters to members of that miserable faction, encouraging them in their unholy work. Nothing was ever more false and absurd than this charge. Mr. Fill- more ie not that sort of man. If there is one prominent feature in his character, it is a pe- culiar let-a lone.ativeness, a dignified abstemi- ousness from any thing that tends toward dis: tracting the party of which he is a member, or creating factions. In this he is the opposite of Senator Seward, and of course bas no friends among that peculiar class who believe in them- selves and a higher power in congtruing the constitution and laws. ‘The only objection that we have ever heard made by Mr. Fillmore’s Locofoco neighbors to him as a man, was that he is too dignified—that he does not mix enough with the common people. He was nev- er in bis early days found at low taverns and groggeries, playing the demagogue with row- dies, and this, when he was young, in a Wes- tern town, was considered indispensable in pol- itics. In his business relations, Mr. Fillmore is particularly exact. This has given him the reputation of being parsimonious, but nothing can be farther from the truth. Had he been so, he might long ere this have been a rich man, instead of which, we will venture to say that there is not a man in this State who has made less money aside from his reglular busi- ness, or spent less than Millard Fillmore. He squares his whole conduct by the most rigid and exact rules of justice, and we will venture the assertion, that there cannot be found in this whole Union, a man more firm in his decisions or purposes than this new President of the U. States. It is well known among his neighbors that whatever Mr. Fillmore agrees to, that he will fulfil to thetutmost farthing. He neveren. courages one, either his best friends or his wil- iest foes, to believe that he will do more or less than is agreed upon. His firmness is based upon his convictiens of right, and we do not know of a man who better lives up to the mot- to of David Crocket, “ Be sure you are right then go ahead,” than Millard Fillmore. We have said this much because we know the character of him of whom we write, and to show you that the man who holds the reins of government is not one whit behind Old Zach, in his determination to carry out his own plans. He has not one particle of sympathy with the abolitionists ; and whatever he does will be because he thinks it is right, and all the power you or they can bring to bear against him, will have no more influence upon him than the whistling of the wind. He will do justiee— He will ygatber around him the best advisers in the country, and every question will be fully and fairly weighed, and if you do not agree with his decision, you must appeal to a higher court, for it will be uselessto gotohim. This weigh- ing advising, and considering of subjects, is a strong feature in his character, and you must know that the man who takes all the precautionary steps towards coming to a i. sion, has his mind fully made up beforé he pro- mulgates it. We have no doubt but that the South will fare quite as well and perhaps better than if General ‘Faylor bad lived. Mr. Fillmore will agree to the Missouri Compromise for cali 2 nia. The Seward faction in this State is and that demagogue will have no influence -at the White House. They will squirm and rant and how/—they can do nothing. Their oppo. nents here can afford to let them alone, and they will die out like vile weeds in thick clover, it you of the South will not by your folly and madness drive the better and safer portion of the Northern people away from you by abusing Mr. Fillmore, and charging him with abolition. iem: which we can assure you is as bateful to him, as to us or you. MAJOR WALTER GWYNN. We stated on Saturday that Maj. W. Gwynn, the Engineer of the James River and Kanawha Company, had been ap- pointed Engineer of the North Carolina Central Railroad. We understand that the Major will not leave the James River Company, but will only give a general direction to the N. C. Railroad, at times when he can be well spared from his du- ties on the James River Canal. For his whole time and services in North Caroli- na he was offered a salary of five thou- | sand dollars. This he declined—and for his services occasionally in tbe neighbor- ing State he receives a reduced sum as compensation.— Richmond Enquirer. | How comes it we are told nothing of all this in the proceedings of the General meeting of Stockholders?

It was a mournfully interesting occa. sion. The eulogy pronounced by H. C. Jones, Esq., was pertinent, just and able. A very large number of the citizens of the County and Town attended and participated in the melan. choly services of the day. At the close of the procession the, Sons of ‘Temperance retired to their room, and among other business transacted, the following Reso. lutions were unanimously passed, which are furnished for publication : Dyviston Room, Salisbury July 30, 1850. Resolved, That, in common with the rest of our countrymen, we feel deeply impressed at the eudden and afflictive Providence by which we have been smitten in the death of our late much honored and beloved President. Resolved, ‘That we will long: cherish a re. membrance of the many great and excellent qualities of GeyggaL Tayzor, and a profound gratitude for the great services which he reo. dered his Country, Resolved, That a copy of these resolutions signed by the Worthy Patriarch and by the Recording Scribe, be transmitted tothe widow and daughters, (one to each) and that Hamil. ton C.

Some of his political opponents set us a mag. panimous example. The New York Globe (Democratic) says : «The talents and business qualifications of -M¢, Fillmore are of a high order, and we be- lieve that they who hope or fear that be may manifest any sectional bias, wil) be disappoinl- ed. Such is our information of his opinions, indeed such our knowledge of the man, (hal we do pot hesitate to predict that he will give ne cause for the South to continue its reproaches against the North, and afford ne countenance the fanatical agitators of the North. He will have a glorious opportunity of enrolling bit name high on the list of our patriots, if be bo! follows the course which they* who know bia best are confident he will pursve, viz: tbat which shall soonest and most effectually tras- quilize the public mind, and insure the perpe tuity of the Union.” The Washington correspondent of th Charleston Courier gives the following as (he traits of Mr. Fillmore’s private character : “ He is not a great man, nor a social mad. He is reserved, cool, and isolated. He is * man of fine personal appearance and good ms0- ners. There is no deceit in him—no affecta- tion. He is cautious and secretive ; has a smile for all, but gives his heart to few. His temper is imperturbable. No success elates him—? adversity depresses him. ‘Through a stormy lite, he has preserved an even tenor. His r¢ sources of mind are moderate, but he bes * command of them, such as they are.

The circumstances, as rela- ted ta.me; are substantially these: A yoath, the son of Mr. Wilson Carter, who resides about four miles north of this vil- lage, while plowing in his fathers field, happening to break up theremains of an old oak stamp, discovered an ynasually large leaden ball, which led -him to make further search, and he succeeded in find- ing in the ramifications of its roots, about 4 pounds.

Gray- son, we learn, avowed his innocence on the gallows. One minute was given Lim in which he was told he was to confess his guilt; this he refused to do, and told them to execute him at once which they did. The Recorder very severely but justly de- nounces the participators in this outrage, and adds ; If the perpetrators of this outrage do not sur- render themserves up at once the Governor should send an armed force and take them, dead or alive. This first attempt at Lyuch law in this commonwealth, should be rebuked with firmness and punished with severity. Unless speedily checked in its course, it must over- throw all government and render life, liberty and property, without protection. It rests with the legally constituted authorities of Virginia to wipe off this foul blot from her character.— We trust in God’s name they will not fail todo it. From the Alta California, of June 15th. THE FIRE OF YESTERDAY. Again it becomes our painful duty to make record of a conflagration, which, in destructive. ness, far exceeds any that have hitherto visited our devoted city. ‘Ihe very heart of the busi- ness portion of San Francisco is in ruins, and men who in the morning reckoned their wealth by tens of thousands, ere noon were penniless. This is the third great fire within six months, and unless buildings of a more substantial na- ture are constructed, it would not be unsafe to predict an equal amount of loss before the end of the year. A vast amount of the property de- stroyed yesterday was inthe hands of commis- sion merchants, and heavy losses will fall upon the shippers, principally in New England and New York. The result of this will be that the merchants in the Atlantic States will cease to ship their goods on commission, for they will have no confidence in the safety of their property. Our merchants will be compelled to send cash with their orders, and we fear that many now trading extensively in the commission line, will ere long find that their business has dwindled to the mere shadow of former days. ‘To our own citizens the loss can be safely stated at $5,000,000. Under such a blow our young city staggers and groans, and from its effects we fear it will require a long time for her to entirely recover. ‘There is, however, with us, almost superhuman energy, and this calamity cannot crush it.

It is a melancholy fact that at the very moment when Gen. Taylor the venerable jot who had spent forty years of his ife in the most arduous and dangerous posts of his country’s service, was lying | in the agonies of death, the House of Rep- resentatives was engaged in the pitiful effort to pass another vote of censure on him founded upon an ex parte statement, (whose accuracy too is said to have been denied.) of what he was reported to have said to Mr. Crawford, Secretary of War! And this resolution of censure, Jike that which passed the same House four years ago, after his merciful sparing of the lives of the women and children at Monterey, was moved in the House by the same Jake Thompson of Mississippi who intro. duced that. Is not this Thompson doomed toan immortality of infamy? This © vir- toal censure of the President” as the Union called it was contained in the following words :— “That the House also totally dissents from the correctness of the opinion ex: expressed by the President of the United States to the Seeretnry of war, ‘that his (the said Crawford) being at the head of the War Department, and the agent of the claimants, did not take from him any rights he may have had as such agent, or would have justified him in having the examination and decision of the claim by the Secretary of the Treasury suspended. This was passed by a vote of 91 to 86! And every Locofoco member present, (with three Honorable exceptions, Messrs. Bart of S. C., Morse of Lou,, and Well- born of Geo.) voted for this censure ( in- eluding Messrs. Ashe and Daniel of N.C.) All the whig members from this State were present and voted against it. Mr. Venable did not vote. Bot the most pitiful incident of the whole, was the vote for this censure, of Toombs and Stephens of Geo, Cabell of Florida, and Morton of Va, This is the NEW STORE!

They had just before been astounded by a vote of 158 to 25, censuring their friend Mr. Crawford for allowing this Galphin claim to be paid while he wasin the Gabinet. And out of a petty feeling of revenge they turned about and voted to.eensure Gen. Taylor, who had stood by |’ Grawtord unwaveringly, and hadgesisted4- all that whig sentiment which had*ewted for the retirement of Crawford ffom thé Cabinet. Gen. Taylor never for: a7mo- ment abandoned his friend, though he most have fel: that he had committed an error calculated to injure bimself, the Ad- ministration and the Whig Party. — But Toombs and Stephens, and their followers turned upon Gen. Taylor to revenge Crawford upon him, for the vote of the Howse! They had just voted that the on- by man who was interested in the Galphin claim was blameless, and then Mmstandy|~ Woted to censure Gen. Taylor, who had} pad no interest in it or knowledge of it,— The act created amazement and disgust in Washington. = All this happened on Saturday before the Presidentdied.

The leaves e wrinkled than the com: moo plant, so that the spires which are very sharp, stiff, and long, stand in all directions. It is a very troublesome and noxious plant, as you may judge from t he fact that the Legisla- tures of some of the Northern States into which it was beginning to spread about 20 years ago, made itan indictable offence, for a man to let any of it goto seed on his farm: and we alt know that the down of the thistle, to which the seed is attached, is carried great distance by the wind. of this saw a patch Unless much mistaken the writer of tbis kind of thistle a short time ago in the lower end of Iredell coun- ty, though be did not st LEARNING “ Learning is good in its own place: should not be forgotte For the Watchman. op to exainine it closely.

AHow us.fo re-beptize slavery, and | call it apprentice system, factory system, or, _ indeed, by any ofher name, and the world would | quietly acquiesce in the thing, and subside into | quiet. si But with the name, men have associated some hydra of their own creation. With no personal acquaintance with it, they sit in their closets, and, yielding the reius to imagin- ation, conjure up visions of chains and‘scourges and other instruments of horrid torture, and connect them with an institution which is un- doubted}y the least exacling system of labor the world knows. The degree of ignorance, which prevails with regard to African slavery, exceeds the bounds of eredibility, As for instance, we are assured that many are impressed with the be. lief that our slaves are kept in prisons, from | which they are daily marched under watchful. | guard to their labors; which being extoried | trom them under the lash, they are returned to | their dreary cells, and almost wholly deprived | of social intercourse. This stupid ignorance would deserve ridicule, if it bad not so excited the public mind on the subject, as to justify the apprehensions now ev- ery Where telt for the integrity of the Union. The truth is that, except: when actually en- | gaged in labor, (and that in agricultural pur- suils rarely exceeds eight hours per day.) they /are as free from restraint as any people under ‘the sun, and, at all times, whether laboring or idling, are free from the cares and anxieties which barrass and perplex the poor of other _countries, who have to supply the physical wants of themselves and families, (and often scantily too) by the most laborious and inces santtoil. A tnost unfounded opinion also pre- | | | | iff, in your columns, our precious ‘metals have been exported in no small quantities ;and, as tertign exchanges continue above par, and may advance, it is quite clear to the mind of ‘the writer that, before Congress shall have time to mature any measures to check imporis, we. practical merchant knows is so well ealoulated revulsions. It is true, the country looks pros. perous, and a pertion of it is really so, but we know that commetcial storms bave come upoo os suddenly and raged with dreadful, desotating- violence: vide 1837. By the late arrivals from England we have seen it stated in print that some of our merchants (and they are now there from all the large towns of the Union, and in no ‘small numbers) bave expressed the opinion that we -must, ere long, have an un- healt. y and unprofitable state of business. In this we fully concur; and, without knowing the reasons given by our merchants whilst “comparing notes” with foreigners, we will give ours in a few words. Conditioned as we are, with no National Bank to inflate or con- tract at its pleasure the circulation of bank pa- per, but the eurrency being now left to regulate itself—the best regulated after all—we see no- thing whatever to prevent this country from be- coming permanently prosperous but excessive imports. » From the fact that foreign exchanges are above par value, and coin leaving the coun- try, there can be no question but that our im. ports exceed our exports; and if they do at the rate of thirty or forty millions per annum, as some say they are not doing, the time is not for distant when the muttering of another storm will be heard, unless we be compelled to effect another loan from foreigners. But as this mat- ter of the balance of trade, and its effects, are so plain, we did not take up pen to discuss it, but simply to make a request of the new Sec- retary of the ‘Treasury. It is, that he will | monthly, (if possible,) certainly quarterly, cause j}to be published a statement of the respective amounts of imports and exports.* Heretofere i vails of the abject and degrading servitude in whieh they are held 5 they perform just servi- Uces for their owners, as the poor ofevery coun try do tor the more wealthy, and the intercourse | between master and slave is as friendly, and tar amore familiar and contidential than that of | the manofacturer and his laborers, There is a tie in the former relation which [no merely pecuniary connection can ever en. yender; the master and slave grown op from _chiidren in intimate association, and in many | cases have been nourished by the same bosom, | aud there isa sympathy between the native slave owner and bis dependent, that rarely ex- isis with any other, “The social position of the slave is defined positively, and from that posi- /ton he cannot advance, Does that move your Findignation ? look at home! Have you not \there conventional rules more arbitrary than our laws, which fix a barrier between certain i classes of citizens. How much greater are _the sympathy and intercourse between the rich and the poor, the refined and the rude, the ed- | ucated and the ignorant, in your section, than _ between master and slave in ours. Is it, or jan itbe as great. Vhe slave appeals with | contidence to his master for aid and attention in his sickness, poverty he does not know ; he approaches at all times his white friends with respect and deference, but none of that cring- ing servility, which the abject poor are apt to exhibit to their superiors in wealth, and with- out dreading the repulse so often encountered by modest poverty ; he worships in the same temple with his master, and together they meet at the table of their common Lord and Master. What more than all this do they—can they en. jey among you? Do they enjoy as much? do not ask how the blacks are treated by Phi- _lanthropists and unscrupulous Demagogues ; | but how are they treated bythe master? Do | the merchants employ them as clerks, are they | found as students in the offices of the lawyer ;and physician? Does the mechanic. admit , them to bed and board in his family as.appren- tices?) ‘Fruth compels youtoanswer No! and truth must compel you to acknowledge that they never can aspire 'o those social privileges.— Ages will not overcome the prejudices and dis- gust with which they are regarded by your | free soilers, they perform for you now and will ever continue to do so, those menial offices, which every where are performed by the low. est order of the community—and so far as so. cial position is involved, they are far below the level of a respectable slave. I can point out in any of our large Southern cities a greater perseverance. number of well dressed, intelligent, and = re- spectable slaves, than you can free blacks in any city of the North. Itis further charged, against slavery, that it induces a laxity of morals, fatal to the growth or existence of piety and virtue, aud vitiates the whole frame work of society. crime enough exist among us—would to God it were less, but this charge we solemnly and in- , dignantly deny—we fear no scrutiny, and chal- lenge our most bitter enemy to probe society to its deepest depths, and establish the damning charge, if he can.

COMMERCE. * Nore BY THE Epiror.—Our correspond. ent, in making his call on the Secretary of the Treasury for monthly publications of commer. cial statics, seems to suppose that the annual statements prepared atthe Treasury are so pub. Jished at the discretion of the Secretary of the ‘Treasury. They are made according to the direction of an act of Cougress ; and we pre- sume that no less authority would authorize their monthly publication, if such publication would be practicable for any beneficial effect —which is doubtful, since no such publication | could well be made within a shorter time than | three months after the eapiration of each month. \ } HOW HE ROSE. About forty years ago, some where in the | woods near the line between Tennessee and | Kentucky, in a log cabin, sixteen feet by eigh- | teen, which was already occupied by a brood | of ten or twelve children, was born a youngster '—the hero of our sketch. In his infancy he | was fed on hog and hominy, bear meat, and the | flesh of‘ such varmints” as were caught in the | woods. At twelve years of age, he was put out to work with a neighbor as a farm boy, and drove oxen, hoed corn, raised tobacco in sum- | mer, cured it and prized it in winter, till he was seventeen years old, when he took to making brick ; to which he added, the profession of a carpenter, and by these successive steps in me- chanical arts, he became able, by his own un- assisted skill, to rear a house from the clay-pit or from the stump, and complete it in all parts and to do it, too, in a manner that none of his competitors could surpass. His panel doors are to thig: day the wonder and admiration of all the country, in which they continue to wan Their hinges. He never saw the in- side g on of a school house or church, until after he was eighteen yéars old. By the assistance of an old man in the neigh- berhood, he learned, during the winter even. ings, to read and write, when a farm boy.— | Having achieved these valuable acquisitions | by the aid of another, all his other education | has been the fiuit of his own application and At the age of twenty-one, he | conceived the idea of fitting for the practice of law. He at first procured an old copy of Black- | stone, and having studied in his researches into ‘other elementary works. And having thus, by ‘great diligence, acquired the rudiments of his profession, he met with an old lawyer who had quit practice, or whose practice had quit him, with whom he made a bargain for his scanty ‘library, tor which he was to pay $120 in car- 'penter’s work, and the chief part of the job to be done in payment of these old musty books, was dressing and laying down an oak floor or ‘floors, for $3 per square of ten feet. The library paid for, our hero dropped the adze, plane and trowel, and we soon alter hear | | | ‘of him as one of the most prominent members | of the Mississippi bar, and an able statesman and orator. ‘I heard him one day,” says one, * make two speeches in succession, of three hours in length each, to the same audience, /and not a moment testified any weariness on the part of a single auditor, and during their delivery the assembly seemed swayed by the orator as reeds by the wind.” ‘That poor farm boy is at the present time at Washington, a member of Congress from Mis. sissippi. His name is PATRICK W. TOMP. KINS. He is a self-made man, and his his- ry shows what an humile boy can do, when he determines to TRY. John U.

I witnessed them hundred and hundreds of times, and | know that in hundreds of instances they took place when there was no visible power by which the motion ‘could have been produced. Scores of persons of the first standing in the community, whose education, gen- eral intelligence, candor, veracity and sound judgment, none will question, were requested to witness the phenomena, and if possible, help us to a solution of the mystery. But as yet no such solution bas been obtained. The idea that the whole was a “trick of the children ”—an idea which some of the papers have endeavor- ed with great zeal to promulgate, is to every one whois acquainted with the facts as stupid as it is false and injurious.— The statement. too, which some of the papers have reiterated so often that “the mystery was found oat,” is,I regret to say, untrue. With the most thorough in- vestigation which I have been able to be- stow upon it, aided by gentlemen of the best talents, intelligence and sound judg- ment, in this and in many neighboring towns, the cause of these strange phe- nomena remains yet undiscovered. I have watched the progress of this matier with great care, and have done the best in my power to learn what these strange things mean ; although I have not yet been able to ascertain the cause, | am satisfied that their communications are wholly worthless. They are often contra- dictory—often prove false——frequently trifling and nonsensical, and more in char- acter with what might be expected of a company of loafers on a spree, than with what might be expected from spirits re- turned from the world of retribution, to tell the scerets of their prison house.” Such manifestations are now being made in many other parts of the country. According to the information which | sup- pose to be authentic, they are witnessed, in from 150 to 200 different places at the present time. In many of those places, they are said to advance ideas on the doctrines of religion, wholly at variance with the teachings of the Bible, and sub- versive of many essential truths which the Bible reveals. Under an impression that whatever is communicated by a spirit must of course be true, many persons are receiving these communications as the truth of Ged—as a new revelation from spirits, is the work of spirits at all. The | most that can be said is, that we do not yet know how or by whom these commu: nications are made. If they are made by spirits, we have no proof they are good | spirits. The presumption is they are bad ‘spirits. At my house they often accused ‘each other of lying—contradicted at one |time what they affirmed at another,—In- | flicted injury on property in the most won- /ton manner, and have given, throughout, conclusive evidence that the discipline of hell, which they profess to have experienc- ed for several years, has as yet been wholly ineffectual in improving their char- acters, and qualifying them for the “higher sphere” for which many suppose that the discipline after death is a preparation. I cannot now say to what conclusions future developments may lead me; but my present impression is, that the whole thing, so far as the transactions in this place are concerned, is to be set down affiong those devices of Satan, by which hegis promoting his work of destroying souls; and my chief object in this com. munication to the public at this time is, to caution all those who would avoid er- ror, against trsuting to these pretended revelations. 1 have hada better opportu- nity than those men to witness them and to jadge of their claims, and | have fall confidence that the opinions I have ex- _ pressed will be found to be correct. | will | merely add, that, for some weeks past, _thesé annoyances at my house-have been _subsiding, and now, as I hope have ceas- | ed altogether.

From the Olive Branch. THE OLD CENTURY HOUSE. There is an old house in Chelsea, own- ed by Mr. Robert I’ratt, that has stood nearly two centuries. It was the. first house built after the red faces emigrated from that part of Massachusetts, and is fashioned with a low, rambling roof, slo- ping in the rear almost to the ground. It was until recently a venerable look- ing building, black with age, and patched with white, yellow and grey moss; but the “fast” hand of improvement has modernized it a little, and it can now boast one coat—the first it ever owned— of white paint. In the days of the Revo- lution, many a wounded patriot sought and obtained shelter beneath the ancient roof,and though the old folks were staunch republicans, they cared for foes as well as friends, and their doors were open for the wounded tory, no matter what nation, and he was treated with kindness. Of all the reminiscences with which the history of that old house abounds, I love best to call before my mind the few connected with the great father of his country, Washing- ton. It is enough of glory that it has sheltered his head in the stormy times, and that his feet have trodden on the white oak floors, and his voice resounded within its walls. Once upon a time,—no story of olden times is perfect without such a preface— the American forces scant and few, were engaged in building a fortification upon Dorchester. It is well known that this fa- mous redoubt was composed mainly of straw collected from the farmers for miles around, and covered lightly with earth.— On that day, Washington dined at the old house, then standing alone in its glory.— While dinner was preparing, and he was conversing with his host,—a distant se tive of mine,—a bright beautfpbs bounded in, and moving qui distinguished guegt,..said, * y " great General Wash ington that everybody loves so well ?” efi ‘ee ae RS £ he SR, Washington smiled pleasantly, and4ift- ing the child upon his knee, threw thelong ringlets trom his brow, and gazed.into the dark eyes, upturned to bim, pleasantly. ” “ Say,” importaned the boy; “tell me if you are the great general that every- body loves.” i A tear stood in the eye of the noble # tle fellow, they call me general, but I am not such a very great man; I am only try- ing to do my country some service.” “ Bot you must be a great man. if you are general,” continued the boy, “ and I know you are a good man, because every- | body says so. greatness, and I think epaulettes, make greatness, So you must be a double great, man.” All in the room laughed at this little saHy, and Washington himself seemed pleased. “Do you love Children?

The time approaches for Fall planting.— There are many.garden vegetable thatedo as well or better, in this cliarate, by fall planting. Atter the first of August the nights are coul, and vegetation starts finely. Irish Potatoes may be re-planted, and they will mature before frost. English Peas will do better in the Fall than ia the Spring, &s our Fall is'much like an English summer. Plant Ruta Baga Turnips as soon as possible, and let all-other varieties follow ia quick succession. Sow the early varieties of Cabbage for next Spring’s use, and the late kinds to eat this coming winter. Beets Sali. fy, Onion, Carrot, and Parsnip may be put in the ground in October far Spring use, and ehould we have a moderate winter, they will be fit for the table quite early in the Spring. Early va-- rieties of Corn may now be planted for Fall . use. Cucumbers and Squashes are aptto be- * come wormy, and we would not recommend Fall planting for them. Okra and Snap Beans may be planted so as to keep a constant suc. cession until a heavy frost: in short, we lo upon-a well-directed Fall Garden as quite equads. tothe Spring garden. There is no dread-of* late Spring frosts, and from the late backward Spring the prospect is good fora long and grow. -. ing Fall. Lima Beans may yet be planted, to come in with early corn, Just think of it, yankees, succoiask ia October and November, and. sometimes until Cheistmas! Truly, we have an Eden of acclimate. There are.many. varieties of the Cabbage tribe which are not in general cultivation here, but which do finely planted as late as the first of September, including the Brocoli, the Cauliflower, aad Kales; they are planted and cultivated in'all respects like the Cabbage. Siberian and Sea Kale are perrennial, and may be cut for sever. al seasons from the same root. Mellons may be grown in the Fall, but we believe that one melon in. June and July would be worth a cart load of Fall ones. “[ DID NOT OBEY MY PARENTS.” The jail was a large, gloomy-Jouking stone « building.

But different! shut up in a, dark gloomy jail, with no one to care for bim, and all around cursing and swearing, and mak- ing horrid noises. O, he felt very wretched, Said he, *I shall never be able to go to the state prison, J am so sick. O! if ] was only. ready to die, it would not matter so much!” “ And are not you ready to die?” “0, no,” said he, “I am afraid to died” “But why are you afraid to die 7” * Because J am such a sinner.” — “There is bope, and mercy, and.salvation for sinners, for the greatest of sinuers, through Jesus Christ.” swered the general. “ Well, I’m glad of it; because my lit- tle sister was afraid to come in and see you ; but I will go tell her you would like to see her, and I guess she'll come.” Off bounded the boy, but he soon returned, leading by the hand a little flaxen-haired fairy, whose blue eyes were slyly upturn- ed towards the great man, as she came timidly in the rear of her brother. almost frightened at the silence around her. In afew moments she was laughing and chatting upon his knee, with all the aban- don of innocent childhood, telling him nursery stories, and singing simple songs to him. An aid entered, and spoke to the gene- ral in a low tone. Almost instantly, Washington lifted the child from his lap to the: fleor, and taking out his pocket glass, went to the door which commands a fine view of the heights, and surveyed them intently. “ My officers are anxious for me to join them,” he said to my great uncle, as he now ready.

The arrival of the Atlantic yesterday 'morning, in ten days and fifteen hours ‘from Liverpool, puts us where our orators sometimes place us in every thing, ahead of all creation, in steam navigation’ at least. We own the fastest traveller on the great highway of waters, and we shall claim the credit therefore until we are outdistanced by a newcomer. Ac- cording tothe log of the Atlantic, she was but just‘six days and one hour from land to land, that is from Cape Race to Cape Fear ; thus making the pessage from Eu- rope to America in less thana week, and with only five hours fair wind.

Something New.—Mr. John Wise, of Lancaster, Pa. announces that he will “go up” in that city on the 3lst of August next, in his mammoth balloon “Hercules,” which contains in its structure 1,596 yards of silk, and is capable of carrying eight persons. The balloon will be used for some hours previous to its final ascent, in letting up passengers from two hundred to a thousand feet. by a rope and wind- lass when they can “take observations.” In the evening it will be started free in the air for a long voyage, with a party of | passengers. Mr. Wise also announces | that there is room left for two more pass- engers—fare $150. Invention.—A Mr. Nibbath, of Paris, has we are told, contrived a mode by dependent citizen is content with so small a variety. The cabbage tribe will give | us boiled vegetables from the first of May | to the first of January, even if we-could | not grow the cabbage heads; we then have the turnip until April or May. ‘We can have the sweet potatoe from January | to January. Then there are pumpkins, | parsnips, and winter squashes, for winter ; squashes for summer ; turnep tops, spin- | ach, asparagus for spring. What living | for we of the south! But fruits in their. season are not to be forgotten.

The process is thus described : “The opening of the burner of each lamp is covered with a piece of soft iron, ‘mounted upon a hinge. In connection with this is a wire’ extending from a gal- vanic battery the entire length of the ser- vice of the gas lamps. and close to the or- ifice of each burner is a small piece of platina. The soft iron, becoming a mag- net when acted upon by the electric fluid. opens or closes the orifice according to the motion imparted to it; the platina ig- nites when it is necessary to. light the lamps, and thus every lamp ina large town ‘may _be lighted. simultaneously, or extinguishedin the same way, by a diffe- rent action on this magnetized iron.” A Remarkable Freak of a Manaic is notic- ed by the Trenton ‘True American as occurring at Bordentown yesterday morning. ‘The loco. motive, which was to bring the morning train from Bordentown to Trenton was missed, and the engineer procured another—when they reached ‘Trenton they discovered the missing | one fast in the switches, blowing off steam at | great rate. * When they came to it they found a man trying to rebuild the fire, and the water and | Louis papers state that the cholera is ra- | cinders splashing over him and the engine.— ging with fearful’ mortality at Liberty, | and other points on the Missouri river.—— The small pox is also quite prevalent, and is carrying off its victims daily.

At Cincinnati, from the Ist to the 23d, inclusive, the deaths by cholera, were | 659. The number of deaths from all dis- | eases, during the same cholera, was 1,363. ek sic: * “How much unhappiness, discontent, and ‘all uncharatibleness, might be avoid- ed, if men would daily school themselves to contemplate and realize the truth. not only of their own morality, but of the transient and perishable character of all ; human frames»- The.applause of the mul- _titude is sweet, bat itis the thing of a day _—the flower that is fresh and fragrant in ‘the morning, but-droops inthe hot noon- day, and dies after a brief season.

The country is, therefore, just where it) was three months ago—disquieted and trou. | bled. The 31st Congress appears to embody more stubborness—more discordant material— | more of the spirit of his satanic majesty, in fine, than any that has precededi!.

Something may yet be done to settle the vex- ed questions in regard to California, Texas and the Territories. But when and how no one > can foresee. We copy below a few remarks made by Mr. Clay after the failure of this Bill. We doubt not his sentiments will receive the hearty ap- plause of every reader. Mr. President I wish to say only a word. We have presented to the country @ meas- ure of peace, a measure of tranquility— ene which would have harmonized, in my epinion, all the discordant feelings which prevail. That measure, sir, has met with a fate not altogether unexpected, I admit, en my part, but one which, as it respects the country at large, I deplore exceeding- ly. For myself, personally I have no- The majority of the | cause to complain. committee to which I belonged have done their duty, their whole duty, faithfully and and perserveringly. If the measure has been defeated, it has been defeated, by the extremest on the other side of the house, and on this. Sir, I shall not proceed to inquire into the measure of responsibility which is in- curred. All that 1 mean to say upon that subject is, that we stand free and libera- ted from any responsibility for the conse- | quences. ed, we all knew full well. The proposi- tion, of the Senator from Maryland, made, | no doubt, upon a conscientious conviction, of his duty, led to its defeat. osition, I repeat, bas led to the consequen- ces which are fresh in the recollection of the Senate. Sir, I have said from first to last, that I was in favor of the admission of Oalifor- | I am so still, and if the proposition, | hia, of my worthy friend from Mississippi has been received by Southern Senators in the spirit in which it was conceived and intended, | would have voted for it with pleasure. But, sir, it is presented now, not as a part of a general project, or plan of compromise, but ava seperate measare detached from the compensating meas- Ures in the combined bill, and annexed only to California itself. Now, Mr. President, I stand here in my place meaning to be unawed by any | threats, whether they come from individ- vals or from States. I should deplore as Much as apy man ever did of can do, that arms should be raised against the general | authority of this Government, either by individuals or by a State.

The applitation was heard before the full Court and overruled. In the opinion of the Court upon that applica. tion pronounced by the Chief Justice, all the proceedings in the case are declared to be ac. cording to established judicial forms and the laws of the Commonwealth. On the—day of and before the ques- tion on the writ of error had been settled by the Court, the Rev. Dr. Putnam, for the prison- er, asked to be permitted to withdraw the pe- tition which had been presented to the Gover- nor and Council, for further consideration. —— This request was complied with by the Gover. nor and Council, and the petition, in a day or two, was banded to Dr. Putnam. On the first day of July, Dr. Putnam placed in the hands of the Governor another petition, signed by the prisoner, asking for a commuta- tion of his sentence. On the second day of July, this petition was referred to the Committee on Pardons, and on the same day Dr. Putnam appeared before them and made a statement which he said was au- admitted that he killed Parkman at the time ‘and place charged against him, but denied that the act was premeditated. He narrated what the prisoner declared to be the matter of kill- ing, and described minutely the mode and pro- ) cess in which the body of Dr. Parkman was disposed of after death. The prisoner alleges that the “ single blow | with a stick of wood two teet long and two in. | ches thick ” by which Dr. Parkman was killed, was given by him in a moment when “ he was excited to the highest degree of passion,” and, “while Dr. Parkman was speaking and gestic- ulating in the most violent and menacing man- ner, thrusting the letter and his fist in his face; that in his fury he seized whatever thing was handiest, and that was a stick of wood, and dealt to him an instantanious blow, with all the force that passion conld give, and that he did not know, nor think, nor care where he should hit him, nor how hard, nor what the effect would be.” Upon this statement, and upon the other facts proved upon the trial, Dr. Putnam addressed the Committee at length, in an able and im. pressive argument, in favor of commuting the Sentence of the Court. A petition from the family of the prisoner was before the Commit. tee, and a large number of other petitions, some for a full pardon, and others for a commu- tation, were in the hands of the Committee.— Most of these petitions, were from people, men and women, in other States, and generally placed their petition for a remission or mitiga- tion of the sentence, on the grounds of the doubts of the prisoner’s guilt. ‘The Committee gave three hearings after the meeting at which Dr. Putnam addressed them, and listened to at ?

Upon that verdict, the Court pronounced the awful sentence of death. In such a case there should be obvious and conelusive reasons to authorize the pardoning power to interpose and arrest the sword of Justice. I do not see these reasons. The combined circumstances of the case force me to the conclusion, that the safety of the community, the inviolability of law, and the principle of impartial Justice demand exe- cution of the Sentence. | I hope it is not necessary fur me to say that it would have given me unspeakable pleasure to come to a different result, and that I would do anything on earth in my power, short of vi- thorized by the prisoner, in which the prisoner | olating duty, to alleviate the sufferings of a crushed and broken-hearted family.

When in their prime the names and persons of Mathew L. Davis.and Jacob Hays were famil- iar to more people of all classes and ages than those of nany more popular men. Mathew L. Davis was a very long time one’ of the most active and influential politicians of New York. He devoted his time, his money aod his leisure—and at one time he was a man of large means and much leisure—to the direc- tiun of party affairs. He had accdrdingly a much wider influence than his ostensible posi- tion exptained, and was consulted and courted by the ambitious men of the city and State.— | He made thereby a universal acquaintance with the leading meu of every part of the State, es- pecially of the old Republican party, with which he was associated until 1824-5, when he at- tached himself to the Administration of Mr. Adams, and continued ever afierwards, to fol- low with unhesitating zeal the fortunes of Mr. Clay. Mr. Davis was, unless Mr. Sargent, the * Oliver Old School ” of the U.S. Gazette, of Philadelphia, disputes the priority with him, the origial of the class of letter writers from Wash- ing which is now so numerous.

The time appointed for the trial arrived, when four Judges of the Supreme Court were preeent and sat during the trial. provisions of law, sixty Jurors had been drawn from the Jury box in the County of Suffelk.— By law, the prisoner had a right peremptorily without giving any reason, to challenge twen- “ty Jurors, and for good reasons to object to any others whose names might be called. In em. pannelling the Jury who tried him, the prison- er exercised his peremptory right of challenge in only fourteen instances. The trial was one of surpassing interest and solemnity, and lasted eleven days. On the part of the prisoner, the case was argued with great earnestness, candor, and ability, by the Hon. Piiny Merrick, his senoir counsel. nying that the evidence on the part of the Go. | vernment was sufficient to prove that the pris. | oner killed Dr. Parkman at all, the cuunsel | took the ground that if in any event the jury | should come to the conclusion that he did kill | him, then the circumstances of the case were | such as to satisfy them that the killing could | ‘not have been premeditated, but was the result | of an unexpected conflict between the parties, | and of sudden passion. This position he endeavored to maintain by | an ingenious and powerful appeal to the jury. | The case was closed on the part of the Com. | monwealth by the Attorney General, by an ad. | dress of singular point and effect.

The jury reti:ed to their room, and after an absence of three hours, late on Saturday even. ing returned into Court with a verdict of guilty. The next Monday morning the prisoner was again brought into Court, and received from the Chief Justice the sentence of the law, which doomed him to suffer death by hanging, at such tume as the Executive of the Commonwealth should appoint. In a few days a copy of the record of his conviction was transmitted to the Cevernor and could be offered by the friends of the prisoner, in his behalf, came to the unanimous opinion that there were no sufficient reasons to justify ‘them in recommending the interposition of ex- ecutive clemency. | advised to have the sentence of the law, as "as pronounced by the Court, carried into effect on the 30th day of August next. The Council, with but one exception, con- curred with the report of the Committee and advised the Governor to carry out the sentence of the Court as recommended by them. considering the case, I do not feel authorized by any considerations which have been presented to my mind, to set aside the deliberate verdict, of the jury, arrest the solemn decree of the law as pronounced by the highest judicial tribunal ot the Commonwealth, and disregard the opin- ion and advice of the Council. Ifthe circum- stances of the killing, as stated by the prisoner are taken to be true, It may well be questioned | whether the Executive Council could interfere | with the sentence without violating the settled law of the land. — In his charge to the Jury in this case, the Chief Justice says: ‘‘ it is a sét- tled rule, that no provocation with words only will justify a mortal blow. Then, if upon pro. voking language, the party intentionally revenge himself with a mortal blow, tt ts unquestionably murder.” ‘The only new fact brought to light as to the killing, depends upon the word of the prisoner. It will hardly be pretended by any one thatthe declaration of a person under sentence of death should be permitted to outweigh the doings ot the Court and Jury, and rescue him from the ings. It is candidly stated by Dr. Putnam, in his able argument, and by several of the peti- tions presented in favor of commutation, re ceived since his confession, that, standing as he does, the word of the prisoner is entitled to no credit. , Ifthe circumstances disclosed or the trial are relied on to support his statement, the reply is, that those circumstances were urged in his fa- vor before the Jury, and they have decided a- gainst him. ‘The facis of this appalling case one of the gloomiest pages in the record of crime amongst civilized men.

He lost his importance gradually, and fell out of the public view. He was a long time the American correspondent of the London Times, under the title of “ ‘The Genevese Traveller.” Of late years he has been in extremely feeble health, and finally died from natural decay, at about 84 years of age. In his maturity he was a man of remarkable activity, both of mind and body ; of great powers of conversation, abound. ing in anecdotes of public men and public af- fairs, and telling them with point and animation. In face he had some resemblance to the prints of the French orator, M.

Destructive and fatal Accident on the Erie Railroad. | A most frightful accident occurred-on ithe New York and Erie Railroad. about one o'clock yesterday, which resulted ina | great destruction of property, and loss of ‘life. The freight train from Oswego. for | Pierriepoint, was precipitated in the Del- Ps ‘ _of the iron bridge, about three miles from ‘Lackawaxen. There were seventeen | cars, containing 130 beef cattle, 500 sheep 'and 200 hogs, all intended for the market: of this city. The locomotive passed safe- | ly over the bridge, but the immense weight of the train cars was more than»the ' strength of the bridge could bear, and the whole was thrown into the river below—°* a distance of 70 feet—killing nearly alt the stock, and five men who were on thé cars, besides seriousty injuring the "con= ‘ductor and brakeman. The engineer |and fireman, as soon as they saw the. | bridge giving way, jumped from the ‘loco: ‘motive, which was seoteied.: in. sc- quence of the water tank becoming | tached, and one of the steam pipes ing.

He proceeds to say that the Commissioner had reported to him, in an official form, that the military officers employed in the service of | the United States, stationed at Santa Fe, inter- posed adversely, with the inhabitants, to the ful. filment of bis object, in favor of the establish- ment of a separate State Government east of | the Rio Grande, and within the rightful limits of the State of Fexas. ‘The four counties which Texas thus proposes to establish and organize, as being within her own jurisdiction, extend over the whole of the territory east of the Rio Grande, which has heretofore been regarded as an essential and integral part of the Depart- ment of New Mexico, and actually governed and possessed by her people, until conquered and severed from the Republic of Mexico by the American arms. The Legislature of Texas has been called together by her Governor, tor the purpose, as is understood, of maintaining her claim to the territory east of the Rio Grande, and of estab- lishing over it her own jurisdiction and her own laws by force. ‘These proceedings of Texas may well ar- reat the attention of all branches of the Gov. ernment of the United States; and I rejoice that they occur while the Congress is yet in session. It is, I fear, far from being impossi- ble that, in consequence of these proceedings of Texas, a crisis may be brought on which shall summon the two Houses of Congress, and still more emphatically the Executive Govern- ment, to an immediate readiness for the per- formance of their respective duties. By the Constitution of the United States, the President ia constituted G@ommander.in-chief of the Army and Navy; and of the militia of the several States, when called into the actual ser- vice of the United States. The Constitution declaers also that he shall take care that the laws be faithfully executed, and that he shall, from time to time, give to the Congress infor. mation of the state of the Union. Congress has power, by the Constitution, to provide for calling forth the militia to execute the laws of the Union; and suitable and ap. propriate acts of Congress have passed, as well for providing for calling forth the militia, as for placing other suitable and efficient means |in the hands of the President to enable him to discharge the constitutional functions of his office. The second section of the act of the 28th of February, 1795, declares that whenever the laws of the United States shall be opposed, or their execution obstrycted, in any State, by combinations too powerful to be suppressed by the ordinary course of judicial proceedings, or the power vested in the marshals, the President may call forth the militia, so far as may be ne. emy had suffered worse ; that retreat or any cessary to suppress such combinations, and to other alternative was entirely out of ihe ques. tion; that he had made his arrangements to present still a formidable front to the foe, and all that remained for them was to make up their ta conquer or die together, if the assault upon their position should be renewed with: the retiging light. “ But,” said he, * gentlemen, it will not be renewed.

By. the act of March 3d, 1807, it is provided that, in all cases of obstruction to the laws, ei- ther of the United States, or any individual State or Territory, where it is lawful for the President to call forth tho militia for the pur. pose of causing the laws to be duly executed, it shall be lawful for him to employ, for the same purposes, such part of the land or naval force of the United States as shall be judged necessary. General Taylor instantly ordered a train of wa. gons provided with medical and other means of | | titory, by combinations too powerful to be sup- relief, accompanied by surgeons from his own | army,to follow an the track of the Mexicans and administer to the wants of the wounded and digubled whom they had abandoned on their re- treat.

The constitutional duty of the President is plain and peremptory, and the authority vested in | bim by law for its performance clear and ample. Texas is a State, authorized to maintain her own laws, so far as they are not repugnant to the constitution, laws, and treaties of the Uni- ted States; to suppress insurrections against her authority, and to punish those who may commit treason against the State, according to the forms provided by her own Constitution, and her own lawa.

States, as defined by the present treaty, shall be free to continue where they now reside, or | to remove at any time to the Mexican republic, | retaining the property which they possess in > the said Territories, or disposing thereof, and removing the proceeds wherever they please, without their being subjected on this account to any contribution, tax, or charge whatever. “ Those who shall prefer to remain in the said Territories may either retain the title and | rights of Mexican citizens, or acquire those of | citizens of the United States. But they shall be under the obligation to make their election within one year from the date of the exchange of ratifications of this treaty ; and those who shall remain in the said ‘Territories after the expiration of that year, without having declared | their intention to retain the character of Mexi- cans, shall be considered to have elected to become citizens of the United States.” “In the said Territories property of every kind now belonging to Mexicans not establish- ed there shall be inviolably respected. ‘The present owners, the heirs of these, and all Mex. icans who may hereafier acquire said proper- ty by contract, shall enjoy with respect to it guaranties equally ample ae if the same be- longed to citizens of the United States.” The ninth article of the treaty is in these words : “The Mexicans who, in the Terrilories | aforesaid, shall not preserve the character of citizens of the Mexican republic conformably with what is stipulated in the preceding arti- cle, shall be incorporated into the union of the United Staics, and be admitted at the proper time (to be judged of by the Congress of the United States) to the enjoyment of all the rights ot citizens of the United States, according to the principles of the constitution ; and, in the | mean time, shall be maintained and protected | in the free enjoyment of their liberty and pro- | perty, and secured in the free exercise of their | religion without restriction.” | It is plain, therefore, on the face of these | ed in territories north of the line of demarkation of the 9th article ; and that the treaty, being a part of the supreme law of the land, does ex. | tend over al] such Mexicans, and assures to | them perfect security in the free enjoyment of | their liberty and property,.as well as in the | free exercise of their relip¥on; and this su- | preme law of the land, being thus in actual | force over this territory, is to be maintained | and enforced until it shall be displaced or su. | be obstructed or restricted by combinations too | powerful to be suppressed by the civil author. ity, the case is one which comes within the | provisions of law, and which obliges the Pres. | ident to enforce those provisions. Neither the | | constitution nor the law, my-duty or my oath of | office, leaves me any alternative or any choice , in my mode of action. | The Executive Government of the United | States has no power or authority to determine | what was the true line of boundary between | Mexico and the United States before the treaty \of Guadalupe Hidalgo; nor-has.it any such { power now, since the questiém’has become a "question between the State of Texas and the United States. So far as this boundary is doubt. ful, that doubt catt-only be removed by some act of Congress, to which the assent of the State of ‘Fesas may be necessary, or by some appropriate mode of legal adjudication ; but, in the mean time, if distarbances or collisions arise, or should ‘be threatened, it is absolutely incumbent on the ExecutiveG overnment, how- ever painful the duty, to take care that the laws | are faithfully maintained. And he can regard | only the actual state of things as it existed at the date of the treaty, and is bound to protect all inhabitents who were then established and who now'remain north and east of the line of demarkation, in the full enjoyment of their liber- ty and property, according to the provisions of 9th article of the treaty; in other words, that | all must be now regarded as New Mexico which was possessed and occupied as New Mexico by citizens of Mexico at the date of the treaty, until a definite line of boundary shall be established by competent authority. This as- sertion of duty to proiect the people of New Mexico from threatened violence, or trom seiz- ure to be carried into Texas fortria] for alleged offences against Texan laws, does not at all inclyde any claim of power on the part of the Executive to establish any civil or military go- vernment within that Territory.

These cannot be fixed or known till the line of divis- ion between her and ‘Texas shall be ascertain- ed and established ; and numerous and weighty reasons conspire, in my judgment, to show that this divisional line should be established by Congress, with the assent of the Government uf Texas. In the first place, this seems by far the most prompt mode of proceeding by which the end can be accomplished. If judical pro- ceedings were resorted to, such proceedings would necessarily be slow, and years would pass by, in all probability, before the contro. So great a delay in this case is to be avoided, if possible. It would be every way inconvenient, and might be the oc. casion of disturbances and collisions. For the same reason, [ would, with the ut- most deference to the wisdom of Congress, ex- press a doubt of the expediency of the appoint.. ment of commisioners, and of an examinition, "estimate, and an award of an indemnity to be made by them. This would be but a species of arbitration, which might last as long as a suit at law. So far as I am able to comprehend the case the general facts are now all known, and Con- gress is as capable of deciding on it justly and properly now as it probably would be after the report of commissioners. It the claim of title on the part of Texas ap- pear to Congress to be well founded, in whole or in part, it is in the competeacy of Congress to offer her an indemnity for the surrender of that claim. In a case like this, surrounded as it is by many cogent considerations, all calling for amicable adjustment and immdiate settle- ment, the Government of the United States would be justified, in my opinion, in allowing an indemnity to Texas, not unreasonable and extravagant, but fair, liberal, and awarded in a just spirit of accommodation. I think no event would be hailed with more gatification by the people of the United States than the amicable arrangement of questions of difficulty, which have now for a long time agi- tated the country, and occupied, to the exclusion of other subjects, the time and attention ofCon. gress. Having thus freely communicated the results of my own reflections on the most advisable mode of adjusting the boundary question, I shall nevertheless cheerfully acquiesce in any other mode which the wisdom of Congress may de- vise. And, in conclusion, I repeat my conviction that every consideration of the public interest manifests the necessity of a provision by Con- gress for the settlement of this boundary ques- lion before the present session be brought to a close. The settlement of other questions con- nected with the sam2 subject, within the same period, is greatly to be desired ; but the adjust- ment of this appears to me to be in the highest degree important. In the train of such an ad- justment, we may well hope that there will fol- | creased attachment to the Union, and the gen. eral satisfaction of the country. MILLARD FILLMORE. Interesting from Washington. Wasutncton, August 1, 1850. The Hon. Mr. Bates, of Mo., perempto- rily declines taking either the War or In- terior departments. He will not be in the Cabinet at all. Much complaint is made against Mr. Pearce, of Maryland, for defeating the Compromise bill. He was warned that his proposition, if carried, would defeat it, but he persisted, and death to the Crmpro- mise was the consequence. Feelings of exasperation are now engendered, which will foment, and cannot be allayed. The California bill may go through the Senate, but it cannot pass the House, this session. Col.

It is a question, as Mr. Clay. said, some time ago, between a people united and a Congress discerdant, The Utah bill, when it gets to the House will, in my opinion, be Wilmoted, and will, of course. fail between the two Hous- es. The Wilmot is not dead in the House. It was scotched by means of the offer of what was ealled “the President’s plan.” and the expectation of the success of that, or of the Senate compromise. I do not know upon what grounds any expectation is entertained of the passage of any bill adjusting the Texas dispute, or providing means for its adjustment, and giving New Mexico the protection of civ- ilgovernment. No bill can probably pass the Senate seperately, which could not be passed conjointly with other measures. The question is a national one, to some extent, and the Southern extremities, the Northern anti-slavery men, the two Tex- as Senators, and a few impracticables in addition, will continue to form a majority in opposition to any bill that can pass the House. The California bill is now up, and the proposition to reduce the boundaries is likely to give much trouble. Georgia has bound herself to adopt measures for resistance in case California is ad- mitted with her present boundaries:— But the bill some time or other, will pass the Senate, and if it pass the House with- outa severe convulsion, it will be remark- able.

In a long course of Editorial life it has seldem fallen to our lot toenjoy a greater pleasure, in announcing a public event, than we experience to-day in announcing that which, if we could, we would spread over the whole country in a breath. the passage through the Senate of the Bill to settle the Texan Boundary Question.— Considering this the most difficult of all the questions growing out of our Mexican acquisitions, and its adjustment as deci- sive of the early settlement of the remain- ing points of controversy, we confess to the uncommon degree of joy with which it fills us. Hail Liberty and Union and Domestic Peace! Hail Liberty and Un- ion and every great interest of the coun- try! Hail the retarn of the Government from its long aberation back to its just sphere of action and usefulness. Our first feeling is certainly one of thankfulness to Providence for this impor- tant first step in the restoration of Nation. al harmony. Our next sentiment is one of high respect and gratitude towards those who have persevered with such un- flinching resolution through this most try- | ing struggle of the last six months, “ un- seduced,” “ unterrified.” Fhey have en- countered it cheerfully ; they have made them—and.they have made such sacrifi- ces promptly, and with entire disregard ‘of personal consequences. © Distant, far distant be the day, when such patriotic -efforts, sustained by such extraordinary ‘| ability and energy, will be forgotten by the people of the United States.

[t would have been painful, indeed, to bear {or any considerable time the suspense in which all were left: what was to be the next step— whal the next event as indicating the fate of the Country? All were anxious and fearful; and after the expenditure of so much time ia an aitempted adjustment, few we believe, con. fidently hoped for, much good. But in the Providence of God, by disposing the minds of Senafors to true patriotism, light suddenly bursts upon the Country, and the hopes of the people come up with a bound.— The Texas boundary question—the one of greatest difficulty, perhaps—has been settled, The bill offered by Mr. Pearce, of Maryland, aller several amendments, passed the Senate on Friday last, by a majority. often. It only Temains now to receive the adoption of Texas, of which little doubt ie entertained, and all is settled in that quafter, it is hoped, forever. On the othef questions embraced in tbe Compromise, plan,—-the admission of Califor. nia, the law in regard to fugitive slaves and he slave trade in the Disirict of Columbia, no action has been had. And though they are all ques. tions of great iinportance, yet they are nol, any of them, so difficult but they may be arranged speedily and satisfactorily, if the Jate disposi: tion of Congress shall last.

He concluded his remarks with the following words : «It now remains to be seen whether a sov- eeign State of this Union can be invaded by | spe Federal Government, and subdued within | is own limniis by military power and violence. The solution of this question will form an era | ia the history of this government.” Such is the proneness of certain Southern | hot-bloods to bluster and fight, that they hardly | take time to understand the subject discussed, before, mounted on their war-horses, they go | charging about like mad men. If Mr. How- ard had stopped long eneugh to consider what wag tbe duty of the President in this case, it is most likely that he would have adopted the eo. | rect sentiments of his colleague, Gen. Sam'l. Houston. Mr. Howard declared it as his deliberate opinion that the message, would defeat Mr. | Pearce’s bill, then pending in the Senate. But | that bil] passed by a majority of ten. This would seem to indicate that Mr. H. is a hasty | man, and bis opinions of not much value. ¢ HOW THIS WORLD IS GIVEN TO CHANGE. Among the most remarkable changes that | we have heard of is that of a certain editor to | the West of us. He was the first to run up the | name of Manly, even before it was known that | he had received the nomination, and who stated | that he intended to support the nomiuee, and | kept bis name at the head of his paper until the | day of election. Notwithstanding all this, a | change came over the “spirit of his dream’ | and be voted for David S. Reid, ow Thursday | Jast. The reason assigned we understand is, | that Manly is opposed to the South, or in other words, opposed to the Southern Convention.— | Charlotte Journal. | This must be the chief Hornet of the “Nest :” | He was the only man, we believe, that run up | Mr. Manly’s name before be was nominated. | Is i possible that he voted for Reid? Why it | has not been more than three weeks since he was twitting us for whai he seemed to regard | as unespected support of that gentleman— | boasting, at the same time, of his own proud | position on the subject. A NEW COLONIZATION SCHEME. | | Mr. F. P. Stanton, of Tennessee, from the | Committee on Naval Affairs, has made a very | able and interesting Report, to Congress, with | reference to the establishment of a Line of Go. vernment Steamers to Liberia, to be employed, chiefly, in transporting the free blacks of our Country to Liberia, and suppressing the slave trade, the latter of which, has heretofore been the subject of treaties between our Govern. ment and other nations. ‘The report says :— The Committee believe it is expedient to aid | private enterprise in the colonization of the | Western Coast of Africa, because it is the most effectual, if not the only mode, of extirpa- ling the slave trade; and while it tend to ac- tomplish so noble and humane a purpose, it wili afford a speedy means of relieving our | Country of the burden of a population which hangs heavily upon us,—a population which can never be received on political or social equality, and can, therefore, do us or themselves no good by remaining here. THE CABINET COMPLETE. We are gratified to learn, says the Na- tional Intelligencer of the 10th inst., that the two vacant places in the Cabinet have been filled, and in a manner which we are confident will be highly satisfactory to the friends of the Administration throughout the country. The first, the Department of the Interior, by the tender of the office to the Hon. Thomas M. T. McKennan, a sterling and weil-known Whig, of Western Pennsylvania ; the se. | cond, the Department of War, by the se- | lection of the Hon. Charles M. Conrad, a distinguished citizen of Lovisiana, form. | erly a Senator, and at present a Repre- sentative from that State. Small Difference.—We were a little surpris- ed at the very smali difference between the poll for Governor in Wilmington and in Fay. | etteville. Wilmington claiming twice the num. ber of inhabitants, has only polled 82 votes Wore than Fayetteville. W: 594—F: 512. Carolinian. Is the Carolinian sure that there was no illegal voting at Fayetteville? Itisa singular circumstance that Mr. Manly should get a little more than his vote of | 1848, and that Mr. Reid should yet gain | 268! over him, in Cumberland. Where were those 311 votes in 1848?

This is the most rural, social, unaristocratic and | happy of all the great gatherings of North Carolina.— | The absence of great Hotels, brings to a level the ac- | commodation of every house for miles around, and fam- ily carriages fill the groves and spread the feast far be- yond the rapid succession of loaded tables. There was present about fifty Ministers with many | other professional gentlemen. The assembly of ladies | Was uncommon, especially of those whose liberal edu- | cation appreciates the attainments of scholars, and ad- | mires genius and eloquence. No sentence was exprtess- _ ly addressed to them except in the Latin Saluttatory; | no implied, no ad captandum compliment. This digni- | fied respect to the ladies was well repaid by the brilliant | attention, which will win to the Commencement of 1850, the applause of good speaking, good listening, and | excellent College order. | The graduating class, fourteen young men, have done great honor to their Alma Mater. Mothers and sisters | seemed to shed over the assembly their own hallowed | influences, for filial and patriotic youth, to reach the | heart. The Anniversary Oration by the Rev. E. P. Palmer, | of South Carolina, was of the highest order to com- | mand the applause of the most grave and learned as- , sembly. His theme was that for which men should be | educated, to make Truth the foundation of the useful | in public sentiment, science, literature, politics and reli- | gion. | The address to the Eumenean and Philanthropic So- | cieties, by Judge O’Neal, of South Carolina, combined his own experience, and the example of the great men to guide the young in making themselves public speak- ers and accomplished orators. It had all the charms of originality and power. The venerated dead and living patriots, came at his fervent bidding to urge young men to serve their country. The gentlemanly deportment of the students, the erection by their efforts of two Society Halls with ar- chitectural taste ; and the Presidents house, as the work of the last year, and the election of the Rev. E. F. Rockwell, former graduate of Yale College, to a new Professorship, indicates the rising fortunes of the you College. A VISITOR.

We have received, among our exchanges, two papers, the ‘* Advocate” and the “ Intelli- gencer,” published in the Choctaw nation.— They give evidence of the happy progress al- ready made in the civilization of the Indian.— The elections which were recently held are said to have passed off without disorder of any sort, and temperance was observed throughout. The school examinations also took place a short time since. They are described as having giv- en unugual satisfaction, while they would bave been creditable to children of the same age and Every word is strictly and ; | Cochin Chinas, he found that his favorite AN AMATEUR FOWL.BREEDER. The editor of the Lynn Bay State has been buying fancy eggs of some one in Boston at a big figure, which did’nt tarn out what he expected; and so he con- cludes that the hen fever is a great hum- bug! Sarved him right ; he bought what were said to be Cochin China eggs, and after waiting patiently over four weeks, he found six ducks in his hatching coop one morning. So much for his foresight- edness. This is not half so bad as the case of one of his neighbors, however, who paid a round price for half. dozen choice eggs, | queer looking—speckled eggs—small,— | round, “ outlandish ” eggs—which he felt | certain would produce rare chickens, and which, he was very cautious in setting un- der his very best hen. At the end of a fortnight he was-star- tled nt the break fast-table, to hear his fa- vorite hen screaming “ bloody murder,” from within the coop! he rushed to the rescue, raised the box-lid, and found his hen on the nest, but in a frightful pertar- bation—struggling, yelling and cackling most vociferously. He spoke to her kindly and softly ; he would fain appease and quiet her; for) and Handy now pulled General Chaplin from there was great danger lest in her excite- ment and struggles she should destroy the favorite eggs—those rare eggs, which had cost him so much money and trouble.— But soft words were vain. His best hen continued to scream, and he raised her from her nest to ascertain the cause of her trouble, more critically. His aston- ishment was instantaneous, but immense; and his surprise found vent in the brief but expressive exclamation— “ Turkles—by thunder !” Such was the fact. The poor innocent poultry “fancier” was the victim of mis- placed confidence. The party who sold him them eggs, had sold the buyer shock- ingly! And instead of a brood of pure hen had hatched half a dozen mud turtles all of whom upon breaking their shells seized upon the flesh of the poor fowl and had well nigh destroyed her life before they could be “ choked off!” He has giv- en up the chicken trade, and has since gone into the dwarf pear business ! From the Washington Republic of Saturday: ARREST OF RUNAWAYS. An affair was brought to light in our city yes- terday to which much attention was attracted. The principal actor in it is General Chaplin, of New York, a gentleman of fifly to sixty years of age, somewhat widely known as the editor of a paper called Chaplin’s Portfolio, publish. ed at Albany. He has been for some time a his own paper, and perhaps doing other wri- ling and attending to other business, as the means of getting along. On Thursday night it was known by a cer- tain portion of the police that he was about to depart from Washington on that night with some fugitive slaves in a carriage; and the route he was to take, was also known. Ac- cordingly, while a good lookout was kept up here in the city, Captain Goddard, with seven officers took their position a little beyond the District line, in Maryland, near the place of F. P. Blair, Esq., about six miles from the city. Here they quietly awaited until half-past eleven o’clock, when the sound of a heavy car- riage was heard, and the voice of a merry dri- ver who sang cheerily as he passed over the road. This was the object of their pursuit ; and when it had come quite up to them, the night being very dark and cloudy,) Captain Goddard dextereously pushed a fence rail be- tween the spokes of the hind wheels and at the same moment Smithey and Cox seized the bri- dies of the horses. An exclamation of surprise from the inmates was instantly followed by the discharge of a pistol by the driver, (Chaplin, ) which, as ‘is believed, sent a ball through the bat of Mr. Smithey, who held the near horse. General C. plied eis whip fiercely, and his fine spirited horses would have bounded off had the wheels not been “ chocked.” Officers Davis the driver’s seat. During this operation the inmates of the car. riage, two servant-men belonging to the Hon. R. ‘Toombs and the Hon. A. Stephens, of Geor- gia, respectively, were carrying on a severe battle with the beseigers around them, dis- charging no less than eleven balls from revolv- ers of formidable calibre. Nor were the rest of the outsiders idle. ‘The night, as we have remarked, was very dark; the half-captured driver fought to the last, only ceasing when the last limb was pinioned ; and the fear of sboot ing each other rendered the police in a meas- ure powerless. They nevertheless returned shot for shot as long as the firing from within was continued. At one moment Capt. Goddard approached the carriage door, and & istol flashed near enough to his face to seortch his left eyebrow, For this he returned two shots both of which are believed to have taken effect ed by the captors. The captives fared a little worse. Gen. Chaplin had his head bruised, Mr. Stephens’s man the two wounds already described, and Mr. Toombs’s man has not re- ported himself to the surgeon. The two captives were yesterday committed to prison by Capt. Goddard, to await their tri- als; and it is understood that in the State of Maryland, Gen. C., after having atoned to the laws of the District, will be required to an. swer the charge of a mualerous assault. A mulatto man, named Warner Harris, residing in the First Ward, was also committed to pris- on, as an aider and abettor in this transaction. STICKING TO ONE’S RIGHTS. Old stories very often have a forcible appli- cation to present times. The following anec- dote we met with lately in an exchange paper. ** How is it, John, that you bring the wagon home in such a condition.” “T broke it driving over a stump.” “ Where?” “ Back in the woods, halfa mile or so.” “ But why did you run against the stump 7— Could’t you see how to drive straight 2” “I did drive straight, sir, and that is the ve- ry reason that I drove over it. The stump was directly in the middle of the road.” “ Why, the1, did you not go round it ?” “ Because, <ir, the stump had no right in the middle of the road, and I had a right in it.” “ True, John, the stump ought not to have been in the road, but I wonder that you were so foolish as not to consider that it was there, and that it was stronger than your wagon.” “ Why father, do you thivk that I am always going to yield up my rights? NotI; I am de- termined to stick up to them, come what will.” “ But what is the use, John, of standing up to righte, when you ‘@nly get a greater wrong by so doing? “ ] shall stand up for them at all hazards.” “ Well, John, all I have to say isthis : here- after you must furnish your own wagon.” In the political world there is a very large ugly stump, placed-directly in the middle of the high road over which our great legislative wa- gon has to pass. our Southern fellow-citizens helped the North to place the stump exactly in its present posi- tion, or rather to dig away the earth ‘which bad though not mortally. One of them lodged in the watch of the fighting negro, who belongs to Mr. Stephens; the other made a flesh wound in the same negros back. While this was going on, one of the beseig- ing party stooped to undo the trace chains aad detach the horses, and Mr. Toombs’s maa, hav- ing discharged his last shot, leaped from the front of the carriage upon this officer’s back, as the blood in his tracks evinced. He has not yet been caught. The capture was now complete ; and upon ascertaining the extent of the damages, all were amazed that so little was done. A flesh wound in the arm of Mr. Butts,.a bullet hole through Mr. Smithey’s‘hat, a singed eyebrow on the part of Capt. Goddard, and a scratcbed term of schooling in any of the States, resident of this city, acting as correspondent of face for-Mr. Cox, are all the disasters sustain- previously hidden it. ‘These very same politi- cians now insist in driving direetly over the it being one of their undoubted rights to use that portion of the highway. whether the wagon is broken or not in the passage—they insist on their rights at all baz- ards. Would it not be proper for them to re- practice their threats to break the wagon upon moyal.?

You also transmit a copy of the pro- clamation of Colonel John Munroe, acting un- der the orders of the Government of the Uni- ted States, under the designation of Civil and Military: Governor of the Territory of New Mexico, and respectfully request the President to cause you to be informed whether or not this officer has acted in this matter under the or- ders of his Government, and whetber his proc- lamation meets with the approval of the Presi- dent of the United States? In the events which have occurred, I hardly know whether your Excellency would natural- ly expect an answer to this letter from bim.— His predecessor in office, to whom it was ad- dressed, and under whose authority and direc- tion the proclamation of Col. Munroe was is- sued, is no more ; and, at this time, thal proc. lamation, whatever may be regarded as its true character, has ceased to have influence or ef- fect. The meeting of the people of New Mex- ico, by their representatives, which it invited, is understood to have taken place, although this Government has as yet received no official information of it. Partaking, however, io the fullest degree, in that high respect which the Executive Government of the United States always entertains towards the Governors and the Governments of the States, the President thinks it bis duty, nevertheless, to manifest that teeling of respect, by acknowledging and an- swering your letter. And this duty, let me as. sure your Excellency, has been so long delayed only by uncontrollable circumstances, and is Departments, and their acceptance of office, with whom it is usual, on important occasions, for the President of the United States to advise. In answer, therefore, to your first interroga- tory, viz. whether Colonel Munroe, in issuing the proclamation referred to, acted undef the orders of this Government, I have the honor to state that, Col. Munroe’s proclamation appears to have been issued in pursuance, or in conse- quence, of an order, or letter of instruction, given by the late Secretary of War, under the authority of the late President, to Lieut. Colo- nel McCall. Of this order, which bears date on the 19th of November, 1849, your Ex- celleney was undoubtedly informed at the date of your letter. A full and accurate copy, how- ever, is attached to less, grave” Col. McCall is therein instrocted that if the people Government should manifest # wish to take any steps to establish a Government for them- seives, and apply for admission into the Union, it would be his daty, and of others with whom he was associat but to advance their wishes... “This not appear to authorize any exertion ry authority, or of any official of.¢ al interference, to control, or afiegt a the primary action of the people 1 them tion of a Government, nor to permit-any’ now performed at the earliest practicable mo- | ment, after the appointment of those heads of of Mexico, for whom Congress. had provided no Territory over which Texas has lately attem ed to organize counties and establish her owt jurisdiction. On the 22d of December, 1846,.. a copy of this constitution and code was trams. mitted by President Polk to the House of Re. presentatives, in pursuance of acall on bimby that body. In the message transmitting.she constitution, he says that “ portions of it purport to establish and organize a permanent Tertito- rial Government over the Territory, and to im- part to its inbabitante political rights whieh, un- der the constitution of the United States, can ba enjoyed permanently only by citizens of the U. States. These have not been approved gad ré- cognised by me.

The treaty, in perfeet accorde<s ance with the proclamation of Genera!

With the peace, there arose® natural expectation that. as early as possible,” there would come a civil governmentta"% BA sede the military.

Assuming then that such a constitution has been formed, what is its effect upon the disputed boundary ? If it compromits the rights of either party to that question, then ff does not meet the Presi- den:’s approbation ; for he deems it his duty to leave the settlement of that question to the tri- bunal to which it constitutionally belongs. It is sufficient for him thatdhis boundary is in dis. j that the territory east of the Rio del seems to be claimed in good faith both by Texas and New Mexico, or rather by the nited States. Whatever might be his judg- meat in regard to their respective rights, he has no power to decide upon them, or even to nego. tiate-in regard to them ; and therefore it would b6 improper fur him to express any opinion.— The subject matier of dispute is between the inhabitants of New Mexico and ‘Texas. If those people should voluntarily consent to come under the jurisdiction of Texas, such consent would not bind the United States or take away their title to the territory. So, on the other hand, if they should voluntarily claim the title for the United Siates, it would not deprive Tex. as of her rights. Whatever those rights may bé, they can only be effected by her own acts or a judicial decision. ‘The State constitution formed by New Mexico can have no legal val. idity woti) it is recognised and adopted by the law-making power of the United States. Un- til that is done, it has no sanction, and can have ne éffect, upon the rights of ‘Texas or of the United States to the territory in dispute. And it i not to be presumed that Congress will ever give its sanction to that constitution without first providing for the settlement of this bound. ary. Indeed, no Government, either ‘Territo- rial or State, can be formed four New Mexico, without providing for settling this boundary.— Hence he regards the formation of this State constitution as a mere oullity. It may be re. garded, indeed, as a petition to Congress to be amitted as a State, but until Congress shall grant the prayer of such petition, by legal en. aciments, it affects the rights of neither party. Bat as it is the right of all to petition Congress for any Jaw which it may constitutionally pass, people. were ia the exercise of a common on ‘when they formed their constitution with pof applying to Congress for admission Hate, and as he thinks the act can preju- one, he feels bound to approve of the stuf Col. Munroe, in issuing bis procla.

It a a that the Executive power: has not —it certainly does not now wish—to jaterfere with that question in any manner whatever, as a question of title. In one of his lgat ications to Con. reas, that of the 17th of June last, the late President repeated the declaration tliat he had ypower to decide the .queetion of boundary, ind-go desire to interfere with jt, and that the authority io settle that question resides else. » Bho object.of the Bgecutive Govern. mt has bee, and as T’am authorized to say it eriainly now is, to secure the peace of the tty; 'o maintain, as far as practicable, the state of things as it existed at the date of the pn ks gad to uphold.and preserve the rights af the respective parties, as they were under the solemn guaranty of the treaty, until the interesting question of boundary should settled by competent authority.

These etpriments have been made, and Dr. Page deems it bis duty to communicate these results to Congress and the country, and to do it ina manner more satisfactory than by a mere writ- ten report to Congress. For this purpose he proposed to exhibit the result of his experiment, and illustrate them by remarks and explanation; and, as the moet suitable place, and at a time most convenient to the members of Congress, officers of the Government, and the citizens, will exhibit bis experiments at the Smrrusont- AN Instrruts, in this city to-morrow evening Saturday, commencing at a quarter before six o’clock. The practical question which has occupied Dr. Page is the question of cost—money cost —of producing this power. Its capacity and applicability convenient and safe. But the great question of cost remained, and that has been deemed too great to admit of its use in the bu. siness operations of the country. In Europe the cost has been held to be fifty times greater than the cost of producing steam. Dr. Page in a written communication, now in my bands says thal he produces this power at a less cost than steam power can be produced. His words are ; *“ With the same size of battery, and much less cost, I am enabled now to exert a force of six hundred pounds where, little more than a year ago, I obtained a force of only fifty pounds. With a consumption of two and a half pounds of zinc, I now produce one horse power for twenty-four hours. This is nearly as cheap as the cheapest steam engine in the world, and much cheaper than steam under some condi. tions.” Supposing Dr. Page to be right in this state- ment of the present cost of producing the elec. ‘ro magnetic power, the hitherto insuperable objection to its use as a propelling power is en- lirely obviated, and the cost actually converted into a consideration in its favor. It is now cheaper, and must become more so when the demand for zinc shall occasion that to be brought into market which is now thrown away, as a refuse of lead ore, in the vast lead mines of Missouri and the Upper Mississippi. Dr. Page now gives eight cents a pound [or the zine which he uses: when a large demand is crea- ted for it, it may be turnished for much less, and at the same time open a market fur an article now thrown away. So much for comparative cost—the electro. magnetic power becoming an economy—a mo- neyed economy—in its production. But how many economies will follow from itsuse? Dr. Page enumerates them, pulling at their head, and justly, the economy of human life, now so deplorably wasted by the dangers incident to the use of steam. All danger from explosion, and thé main caumeghdenees from conflagra. tion, will be avoided=a consummation devout- ly to be wished by every human being. Other economies are thus stated. IN NavIGATION— saving room in the vessel, the engine and bat. tery requiring but little space, and the fuel very compact, compared to coal—dving away with chimneys, smoke-stacks, and their cumbrous fik- tures—instantaneous communicability of the full power, so important in changing course and avoiding collision—capacity to run a blockade, making no noise and showing no light, except at pleasure—simplicity in the construction of vessels—diminution of insurance from absence of danger from explosions and conflagrations, and less danger from collisions. IN LAND CaR- RIAGE—no sloppages to take in wood or water, and saving the expense of all structures and attendance for such purposes, one charge of the battery being sufficient for 'wenty-four bours, or more—no danger to cars or property from fires —diminution of insurance trom absence of danger from fire—comfort to passengers in free. dom from smoke, sparks, and ashes—safe en. tranee into towns and cities from the absence of all the annoyances and dangers which result from the use of steam. Such are some ol the economies claimed by Dr. Page, of which, one alone, that of human lite, would give an im. measurable preponderance to this power over steam, if the cost of its production should be made equal, much more if it should be made cheaper than steam, as Dr. Page avers it can be. All these points will be illustrated to.mor. row evening, when Dr. Page will run a circu. lar saw, driven by an electro-magnetic battery of five-horse power, and will exemplify in prac. lical experiment all the advantages and capa. bilities which he bas claimed for this new pow. er. Mr. President, I take some pride in making this communication to the Senate. I took the moving in the matter at the Jast session, and procuring the appropriation of 820,000 to ena- ble Dr. Page to go on with his experiments. — I took the risk—the risk of ridicule which at. lends great projects ending in failure. The prejector and his backers receive pitiless ridi- cule under such circumstances. As a backer of Dr. Page, I bave taken the risk of this ridi- cule, and mean totake it still deeper. [mean to move another appropriation for Dr, one that will enable him tomakeane on a scale eommensurate tothe of the enterprise, the stake which the homan.race has in its success, and the wealth and power ol the Dnited States, to whom its first advantages and entire glory is to redound, it successful. I shall move an appropriation to work a ship of war or a merchant vessel by this new power, and deem the decision question worth all the money to be egpended, and all the risk of ridi- cule tg be ear if or a eka it will be an advance use of steam power | to the advance an that power soay ise aoe Since the eommencement of the Republic, justice, moderation, and patriotism, & ibe sass of the Voip, ay inspire such coun- ty in slaves. admission of California, unless the 30’ north latitude. portion of territory south of the parallel of 36° 30’ north latitude and west of the Rio Grande, prior to the adjusimeat.-of the territorial ques- tions. 5.

Correspondence of the Baltimore Sun. WasnineTon, Aug. 11, 1850. Opposition to the Texas Boundary Bill—Dem. agogueism—Caucus of Nullifiers—Benton’s new Movement. Scarcely has the Texas boundary bill—the most important of all the measures before Con- gress—passed the Senate before the anti-Ame- ricans commence again their assaults upon it. They are determined to kill it in the House if they can, and to do it by the same combination which destroyed the compromise bill, to wit: a combination of the Southern nullifiers with the Northern abolitionists or free soilers. Query : Will the country permit Congress thus (0 trifle with the peace and prosperity of the nation ? The demagogue Seward is again in the field in the House, where he intends to rally his New York friends against the bill, aided and abetted by Stevens, the abolitionist from Lancaster, Pennsylvania, and by Mr. Wilmot, the faction. ist. Let the good and moderate men of New York and Pennsylvania stand firm by the pat. riots from Hlinois, Indiana, and the whole North. west, and let the national patriots of the South give them a fair support, and the battle may yet be won. a! Simultaneous with the clandestine proceed. ings of Ex-Gov. Seward, the nullifiers held a caucus last night, at which it was agreed to defeat Mr. Pearce’s bill, if possible, in the House ; and to be satisfied with notbing but the actual territory east of the Rio Grande, the di- vision of California by the line of 36 $0, and the same division of the territories. Ia addi- tion to this, the positive recognition of slavery south of the line 36 30 ig to be insisted on as a conditio sine qua non. Of course they know that to be an impossibility, and for this very reason it is demanded by them. It insisted on, it would defeat the California and the territori- al bills, and the bill for settling the boundary of Texas. These bills defeated, it is intended to adjourn in a mild row, and then agitate in the States preparatory to a final dissolution of the Union. That is the real object of some of the ultras, and inaction of Congress, it is supposed, will prepare the way. Fortunately, less than half the Southern members only attended the caucus; and out of this fraction twelve were known to be opposed to the scheme. O glori- ous patriotic dozen ! The dissolution of the Union will prove the toughest work yet attempted by Southern and Northern madcaps. It will pulverize them; but it will dissolve nothing. Meanwhile let us watch Seward, Stevens and Wilmot. Stevens, we know, is ready for a fight, as he has proved in the buck-shot war of Pennsylvania, when he jumped out of the window, Seward is de. termined to head Fillmore, and Wilmot is so mad, as to believe in his own doctrine. The crisis is approaching. The Southern ultras now maintain that Tex. as has-no right to alienate (7!) any portion of her territory. It belongs to the South, and the South alone have a right to dispose of it. This is the bran-new Southern Siates’ rights doc. trine, manufactured in caucus.

Cuay.—The visitors at Saratoga have addreseed a letter to Henry Clay, nu. merously signed, expressing their deep re- gret that the Compromise Bill has been defeated, and the hope still entertained by them that either it or a series of measures embodying its provisions may yet become alaw. The male visitors, we are told, signed the letter en masse; and represent- ing all the sections of the country.as they do, their earnestly expressed wish for an adjustment of the present difficulties is, no doubt, the general sentiment of the Sisve States, and 60 from Free States, slaveholding States object thus to put the life, liberty and property of American citizens un- der American laws, we will insist upon a divi. sion of the couptry on the line of 36° 30’, with a distinct reeognition and protection of proper- 3.

Electro. Mi tc Power.—YVhe reader will find in another column, a most interesting ac- count of a late experiment at Washington, by Professor Page, on this subject. It is now pretty certain, if this account be true, and it is so gen- erally received, that the application of this new power to ma@hiaery isnot only practicable, but can he used at@ smaller cost than steam. What a change it will produce in the machinery and arts of the world. It will be the very thing for boats and ships. No explosions—no deaths by scalding, and it will do away with hot fires fur raising steam, and in that way remove another great cause of danger. The Plank Road.—We |earn that the corps of Engineers employed in surveying the route for the Fayetteville and Western Plank Road, are now within a few miles of Salisbury.— They have completed the survey to the Trading Foard on the Yadkin. OQ~ Why can’t brother Badger, of the Hor. net’s Nest, leave it for a while and come down and see us? We will take a fying visit rath- er than miss. We want to shake ((7- with him. We would be glad if old Rip had a few more ‘ Hornets” who would sting his drowsy ‘ Watchmen’, who are sleeping at their posts. We clip the above from the Camden Jour- nal, a disunion paper. We should not notice it but for the reason of an evident allusion to us. And even with that it is hardly worth the time. The editor, like the mad genius whom he compliments, is dead to National peace, and alive alone to rebellion. Ifto support the Un- ion, the peace and harmony of the Country : if to strive for the continuancesof that state of things which renders the editor and his family secure in the enjoyment of the blessing of civ- il and religious liberty, is “ drowsiness,” then we never wish to awake to any other state on earth. This is our feeling, and we believe the day is far distant when “old Rip” will regard so much the buzz of the few feeble Hornets in bis bounds as to heed at all their alarm notes. He may open bis eyes, and for amusement, watch their girations in the air—see them fly high and low, hither and thither, and laugh that they travel any course with the same facility. €# The people of Greensborough are go. ing to build a Town Hall. It is to be done by a Company. The building will probably be three stories high, and the first and third sto. ries so arranged as to meet the wants of those who may wish to rent offices, &c. The Hall, on the second story, will also be rented as oc. casion may require its use. It is expected to make it a profitable investment. The idea of building a Town Hall has been entertained by some of our Salisbury folk.— Surely there is no town in Western Carolina more in need of such a building.

Correspondence of the Baltimore Sun. Wasuineton, August 14th 1850. The Portugal Despatches.— Payment of the whole Claims, but Closing of the Ports. Portugal has made an offer (under do- ress) to pay every dollar claimed by the citizens of the United States without de- ducting a penny; bat she states to Mr. Clay, our Charge at Lisbon, that she did so, not because she was convinced of their justice, butbecause she had not the means of repelling force by force ; and for this reason she is ready to do anything for the sake of peace. As to the Armstrong, she thinks that the obligations of neutrals consist in this, that they shall not favor one of the beligerents more than another. At the time the Armstrong was taken at Fayal, the British Fleet carried 240 guns and 1,200 men, the Portuguese had seven dismounted gunsand eighty artillery soldiers, with one bundred militia, without flinystones, to keep the peace between the belligerents; while John VI, her King, was in Brazil, protected by a British fleet and Portugal had only been saved from the hands of Massena by the Duke of Wellington at Torres Vedras. Before alf’ this the Paris Moniteur, of 11th No#®em- ber 1807 had declared that the house of Bragarza had ceased to reign. . There was no way of saving Portugal but by British assistance, which was freely ren- dered. If the United States insists that all neu- trals are answerable for damages done to our vessels in their ports in time of War, without taking into consideration the means these neutrals may have to make their own rights respected, the conse- quence will be that in the breaking out of a maratine war, they will close their ports.to us, and Portugal, I believe, has said so to our diplomatic etiquett, and it is yet possible that the quarrel about the Armstrong may be referred to the arbi- tration of a third power: or that Portugal will average the claim, for which provis- ion ought to have been made at the trea- ty of Ghent. x « Telegraphed for the N.

THE LOCUSTS. These insects appear to be creating consid- erable excitement among the farmers in Mos- mouth county, N. J. The Hightstown Rocord saye they have already commenced their rate ges on the forest trees ; the twigs, in many i- stances, look as though they had been nipped by an early frost. Fears-are entertained (ba! they will extend their ravages to the peach of- chards, which, if realized, will be of serious consequence. ‘The sting is said to be a deadly one ; and on Monday a bey, aged iwelve years, was stung by a locust, who died in a few hourt afierwards.— Newark Advertiser.

The fandamental Soathern doctrine is, that ngress has no right to interfere with the institution of slavery ; that its regula- tion, prohibition or introduction is reserv- ed to the “States respectively,” or to the le of the States. This doctrine is being practically acknowledged now by Northern statesmen; and we will get it laced on a sure basis, without doubt, if we maintain it with consisteney. But we mast give up the principle and realize no- thing for its sacrifice, if we insist on the Missouri compromise. MISSOURI ELECTION. Dur latest accounts from St. Louis, by Telegraph, are of the 13th instant. They report that four Whigs and one Benton Democrat have been elected to Congress as follows: John F. Darby, Whig, first district. Gilchrist Porter, Whig, second district. John G. Miller, Whig, third district. Chas. E. Bowman, Whig. fourth district. John S. Phelps, Benton Democrat, fitth district. The returns for members of the Legis- lature are not all in. So faras received. the report says that 60 Whigs, 32 Benton Democrats, and 22 anti-Benton Democrats bave been elected. GeorciAa.—The people of the State of Georgia have good and sufficient cause for exultation, in view of theirIron mines, gold mines, cotton factories, cotton crop, general improvements, educational ad- vantages and general prosperity. Well may the recorder ask, ‘“‘ Who would leave Georgia to go any where else?” It is a rare circumstance now, to meet a Geor- gian moving to a new country. Emi- grants may be met from all the other States east of us, but it is a rare circum- stance to meet a family from Georgia.— Her citizens are contented at home. By diversifying her labor, developing her va- ried resources and drawing on her im- mense mechanical power, and mineral wealth, Georgia has opened up to her people a future of such promise as to fas- tea them with hooks of steel to the soil upon which they were born. She has adopted a policy which every State south of Mason and Dickson’s line should have acted upon years ago. But it is not yet too late, and we trust to see a like policy engrafted upon the legislation of Alabama. A very fair beginning was made during the session of the last Legis- lature, but that body stopped short of what should have been done, the State should have assisted with her credit and her money, the two important lines of railroad, the Mobile and Ohio, and the Alabama and Tennessee, in a2 manner so effectual, that the final completion would have been ensured within the coming three years.— Georgia adopted a similar policy, and we have the result before our eyes. Thou- sands of citizens are annoallyJeaving Alabama, who, bad these lines @ifailroad been completed and her vast méchanical power and mineral wealth fully develop- ed wou!d never have dreamed of leaving, her soil. The Georgia papers are fully justified in shouting—Hurrah for Georgia! Hear the Milledgeville Recorder : From a table of the Railroads of the United States we notice that the total miles of Railroad is 7,677, and that Geor- gia is the third State in extent of this im. provement. New York is first, having 1,306 miles of railroad, Massachusetts is second, having 1,049 miles and Georgia third, having 655. Pennsylvania comes next, having 613—and so on. Hurrah for Georgia. More students attending them than any other Southern State, more manufac- tories of different kinds. more railroad, and will soon have more plankroad than any other. She is the largest cotton Stower, and has generally more varied resources, mineral wealth, natural me- chanical power, variety of product, and allelse to promote the prosperity of her People and her own greatness, than any other country in the world. Who would leave Georgia for anywhere else? Who will be rash enough to mar her onward progress—her onward greatness 7 Gen. Taylor’s Circumstances.—Messrs. Maun- eell, White & Co., factors of the late President, have published a statement in the New Orleans yune, to correct the reports very generally published representing that he died leaving his estate much embarrassed. They say : representations, we are happy to be able to say, are unfounded in every particular. As his agents for more than twenty-five years, we can say with some certainty that he leaves to his family, in bank storks and other valua- ble property, the amount of two hundred thou- sand dollars. He never, to our knowledge, was indebted toanyone. We have never seen his obliga- tion in the shape of a note. He died without ing a dollar. y making this public, you will remove a ve- ry ious impression, and make known facts that will cause a general gratification. Very respectfully, MAUNSELL, WHITE & CO.

BEAUTIFUL EXTRACT. “ They first passed some cultivated patches of wheat and barley, even at this early season looking ripe and ready for the harvest. Who would reap them? Not a human being was in the scope of vision ; nor tent, nor hut, nor sight ot human dwelling. ‘There was no sound, save the rush of the river, and the noise of the wind as it swept over the nodding grain—a yellow sea! where light seemed chasing shadows as the breeze passed over. And yet the hands that planted would come and reap them in the season—il not anticipated by the spoiJer. The wheat and the barley would fall before the sickle, and the hands of the gleaner be busy in the steps of the reaper; the tents would be spread by the river side, andthe young and the old, the strong and the feeble, the youth and the young girl would be abroad in these silent fields. And when the sheaves are bound wi the withes, and the unmuzzled ox has trodden out the golden grain, or the threshing sledge has been trailed round the slippery croft, and the light wind has winnowed the uptossed wheat—then all their wealth close reaped and aned, once more, upon their waste unshel- tered fields will settle silence and the desert heat. “At one time they stopped to rest ; and seated in the wilderness, the fierce sun heat beat upon their heads, and glittered on the bar- rels of their guns, until they became painful to sight andtouch.

Mr. H. quoted from the message. The civil division of Texas was distinctively marked pre- vious to her coming into the Union, and the 'realy was accompanied by a map which was made de facto a part of the treaty, by which it appeared that the whole of what is called New disregarding this plain and incontrovertable ev- idence of title, now orders that very country to he delivered up to the civil authority of the U. States. Mr. Crawford gave directions to the milita. ty authority there, not to interfere with the es. tablishment of civil jurisdiction by Major Neigh. bors ; but President Fillunore changes that or. der and directs that if an attempt be made to establish civil jurisdiction, it be resisted by the military power of the Federal Government. Sir, I do not know what will he the result of the issue : but this 1 do know, that it Texas is to be put down, she is only to be pat down hy force, and afier every effuri that can be made on her part to resist. Mr Williams, (resuming.)

I know there is a deep feeling existing in the North against slavery ; I know it is over. whelming ; not.so impetuous, however, that vention, to devise ways and means to defend , they want to destroy the Union.

Hats continued | to be swung, handkerchiefs to be waved—and | one very nervuus litle fellow whom I had pre- viously noticed as being in a state of high ex citement, antious as it should seem, to make a final appeal to the heart of some dear friend whom I fancied he “ lo’ed” “as a very brith- er,” finding. as the distance increased, that hats and handkerchiefs and * such small” gear were getting to be “of no account,” suddenly seized a big white monkey jacket which was lying up- on deck, and first giving it a few spasmodic and very hearty jerks, stretched it out at arms length, to * flutter in the breeze”! We kept the coast | of New Jersey in sight for some distance, and as the afternoon wore-away, and the goodly sun went down behind the western hills, and “night came o'er the sea,” what wonder that my though!s wandered to scenes far away, to the loved and cherished ones with whom I had part. ed but two brief months before, and whom I was pow to look upon, never again, I own that I was sad. But I brushed the unwilling tear from my eye, bade my “native land good night ”'! and re- tired to my berth. _ =: I shall not give you a description of my voy- age. The early part of it, and while we were crossing the gulf stream was particularly rough. The secord morning out, only six passengers could goto the table. The rest were “sea sick.” This is an ill towhich nearly ajl are subject who “go down tothe sea in ships.” Your friend was not exempt, but made his. contributions to Neptune in full measure—that is for about the space of two days; afier that, his attendance at table was prompt and regular. We were to make the * windward passage” as it is called, that is, we were to pass between Hayti and Cuba. and until we reached the island of Caicos, was due South. From this point, we struck a direct course for Chagres. We passed near the coast of Hayti for a considerable distance. The part in view, was very mountainous, and in its gen- eral features, resembles the coast of California. It was remarked—I don’t know with what truth —that al] weatern coasts were of this charac- ler, We made the coast of New Grenada early in the morning of the twenty-third. As we drew nearer, and the outlines of the country became more distinctly visible, [ was struck with the luzuriance and beauty of the vegetation with which the whole country was covered. The sight of the palm with its wide fan-like branch. es, had a peculiar effect upon my feelings. All the impressions of eastern scenery which I had gathered from story or song, seemed at once to | be realized. We passed up the coast some dis. | tance, leaving it on our left, and about nine | o'clock anchored half a mile from the shore.— | There is hardly any thing which can be called | a harbor, the shore merely bending inwardly, | about the point where the Chagres river emp- hes. I had made up a party of threc to go up the. tiver, a doctor from Florida, a Newhuryport | man and myself. It was arranged that f should | go ashore first and engage a boat and crew, and | that my companions should remain on board till | such time as they could get our baggage ashore. | I succeeded in getting into the purser’s boat, | and of course was a good deal in advance of the other passengers who had to wait for) boats from the shore. I quickly saw that there was no lack of canoes, nor any want of darkies | to paddle them. Afier a little chaffering, mak- tag use of all the Spanish I could command, with the aid of gesticulation and grimaces, | | chartered a boat for thirty dollars, which I | thought would do, although a little too small.— | passengers had now just began to land, | but my friends not being of the number, I had time to survey the town. left bank of the river, (that is, supposing your- self facing its mouth) on which is built the new | or American part of the town. On the opposite side, and just at the mouth of the river, is an old fort very much decayed, and grown over | with bushes. A few yards higher up, on the same side as the fort, stands the old town. It consists of forty or fifty huts, built of cane and bamboo, and covered with cane leaves. Onthe American side, are eight or ten rude wooden buildings, mostly used as stores, taverns and ing houses. Here I saw for the first time, hands were | "ed negro by the bye—was completely saved !— | peared atop. | their rice was cooked, and, making them put it | night, we again set sail. | full, the sky perfectly clear, and the scenery, | j thought appeared still more magnificent than Our course for some six days, | | waters edge. place, with broad pastures and groves of or. | by land however, it is less than half that dis- We landed upon the , dry season, but becomes impassable afier the ad ee: purpose, ‘1 a yes hes to * vamos!” ‘tue : ing first to start. | Fiver was now knocked in the “bead, | Dien gin my negotiation again.

We topk in a fourth man to light- en the expense, and. were soon all aboard,— Our “ hombres” three ia ‘Humber, the shipper and two bands “before the mast,” had now only . to lug in their stock of provisions for the trip. This consisted of a big-gourd*full of rice, an armful of plantains, another of bananas, a few cuceanvts and a bottle full of sonie oleaginous matter to mix with their rice. On our part we had a nice builed ham, a boiled chicken, half a dozen hoses of sardines, and any quantity of sea biscuit. ‘These we had procured aboard by particular favor ofthe steward. ‘The demi- john of choice spirits, &c., need not be named in this connection. Well, by three o’cluck we had every thing on board and were under way. Our two oarsmen understood their business tol. erably well, but pulled a lazy stroke that I did like. One of them was clad in a sort of pea jacket, particularly short and fashionable.— This was literally the only garment he had on. The other’s ward-robe was equally simple, but different. He had a pair of cotton drawers, not wern, a la mode usual, but in the fashion somewhat of a freemason’s apron, the legs only serving as strings to tie on the balance ; add to this, that the “hombre” insisted upon always employing a single knot, whereby he realised a two fuld advantage—first, the fre- quent occasion for tightening the same gave him momentary rests from his labors, but se- condly and more especially, it left a length of drawn legs as drapers which amounted to a respectable apron for the rear, and thus the modesty of the bombre—who was a full blood 2 tro = ov 9p aS t tz § As to the shipper, a Spanish mulatto, he evi- dently intended to sustain bis dignity by his dress, which was of white linen throughout, consisting however, of only a shirt and panta- looue, the former of which he disposed of in a very singular manner, displaying the entire front, a la robe, but confining the balance in manner practiced * among gentlemen.” There was very little current for the first ten miles, and ot course the water continued brackish.— This distance brought us to the village of Se- tune. It is situated on the banks of the river and consists of twenty or thirty buts like those at Chagres. It had now got to be sunset and our men called a halt to cook their rice. We found here an American selling pies, cakes, coffee and liquor, a Yankee, I suppose. Our “hombres” were exceedingly slow in getting their supper done. ‘The difficulty seemed to be in cleaning the rice to their liking. The process was to shake it up in their hats—those which they had worn during the day—and to pick out the impurities which successively ap.

I shall at. tempt no description, but will simply say that the trip upthe Chagres river from its mouth to | Cruces fully repaid me for all the trouble and | expense I had been put to in reaching it. | At twelve, precisely, we reached Dos Her- | manos or * the two brothers,” a rancho with two or three buts. We took our supper, and spreading our awning, “turned in,” making a bed of our baggage. The air was just cool enough to be agreeable, and we slept like “tops” if you know howthatis. We had now made about twenty miles, and at four in the morning were off again. At Pino Blanco, an- other rancho some eight miles or so farther, we stopped to breakfast, and gave our tnen an op. portunity to eat the breakfast which they had so carefully prepared the night before. Here the character of the country began to change. More cleared land appeared and there began |to be a beach of pebbles and sand, the vegeta. | tion below this having come quite down to the | waters edge, and being so dense that it would have been impossible to land save when as was sometimes the case, a path overarched with vines and other plants, came down to the Here our men substituted poles for oars, and our progress thenceforward was much slower. -I had determined to go to San Pablo, some eight miles below Gorgona, before stopping for the night. It was however “ no go.’ Our men hauled up about the middle of the afternoon at Plaquemila, some seven or eight miles short of the place I intended to reach, and neither threats nor persuasion could induce them to budge another inch that day.— We slept as before, and got a start at three o’clock next morning. San Publo, where we stopped for breakfast, is nothing but a large rancho, it is however an exceedingly pleasant | { | ange trees. ‘The distance from here to Gor. gona is something like eight miles by water ; tance, and passengers frequently prefer walk- ing it as the stream from this on is exceedingly rapid. It was noon when we reached Gorgo. na, and the question then was whether we should take mules at that point or go on to Cruces. ‘The Gorgona road is travelled in the |rains set in. This had been its condition a week before we reached there, the rainy sea. son having commenced as usual, about the first of May. ‘There had, however, been an inter. mission of the rain for four or five days, and the road had become again passable. Upon consultation we concluded to go on to Cruces much against the wills of our poor boatmen, who by this time were sick of polling. I was perfectly delighted with the situation of Gorgona. ‘The river is gradually receding from its lefi bank—that on which the town is the Mexican and his monte table, and the inti- | mation was thrown out by some interested, I | suppose, in the table, that “ here was a better to make gold than California.” Afier waiting with some impatience for abou tn bour, I saw my two companions approaching | the shore with our baggage, and gs soon as the | situated—and as it retires throws up and Jeares a constantly accumulating mass of smooth clean white pebbles.

He left home on Wednesday previous to his death with the wagon, for Camden, S. C.; and was taken sick shortly after. The disease which terminated his mor- tal existence was Erysipelas, which all the efforis of the most skilful physicians could not cheek, and ere his friends reached him, hie spirit had taken its everlasting flight. He died among strangers, yet in the midst of friends, although none of his relatives stood around his bed when he breathed his last, yet it is a consolation to his parents and friends to know that he received all the attention and kindness that they could have bestowed on him.

With a carpet-bag in bis hand, he | dderly man named James T. Boyd, one came across a small cabin. Yet ‘cabin’ would af the clerks of the Supreme coort in this City, under the following ‘circumstances : _About the latter part of 1847, or the | beginning of 1848, the accused female came to bis residence, then at 67Jane-st. and inquired forhim. Shewas imitnedi-— ately shown into the parlor, whee an in- | ierview took place, in which she-profess- ed to be familiarly acquainted: with every action of bis life, and. knowing him to be | the owner of considerable property, de- manded a portion of it, threatening*at the | same time if he refused, to go into Court, | and prefer a charge against.bim. that would ruin bis reputation for ever and. destroy the peace of his quiet and bappy family. It was in vain that the complai- | nant remonstrated and entreated his*tor- mentor not to pursue Such a course. She continued to visit his place, and even in | the presence of his wife, threaten to have him sent to State’s Prison unless her de- not describe the place of habitation, for such it proved tobe. It was a little dilapidated shed, with no boards on one side and great crevices on the other sides and in the roof. He would have passed it by, but moans from the inside told that it was occupied. Wishing to inquire his road, he stopped, and stood before the open side of the shed, and gazed upon a spectacle, which as he said, was present before his eyes days afterward, and haunted his sleep: We describe what he saw, as be told us, only say- | ing that strange as the story may seem, full re- liance can be placed upon his words. There was not a bed or chair in the shed, but stretched upon the bare ground lay the body of a youthful looking woman, who had evi- dently just died. Her form was almost a_per- fect skeleton; yet the face was that of a refin- ed and beautiful woman. On her breast lay an infant about six months old, with its mouth to the breast of its mother, and dead. And | sitting up ia.a corner of the shed, and staring the traveller in the face with glazed eyes, was _ what he thought another corpse, but life was mands were acceded to. .By these means | te she acquired such an influence over his yetin it. The figure was that of -a girl, appa. rently about ten years old. She could not rise mind that at various ‘times he gave her to her feet, and yet she was not sick. She was large sums of money-which were coerced | literally dying of starvation! By the side of out of him by fear. of exposure. Mr. | the woman, and clasping her hand,. lay a man Boyil, who acted-as legal adviser of the | covered with blood and apparently. in a dying woman Starr, was also charged with con- spiring with her in accomplishing the ru- in of Mr. Topping, by getting possession | of his property in order to show some of the means resorted to by the accused for the accomplishment of their ends. The | complainant states on one occasion they induced him to go toa house in South Second street, Williamsburgh, where the woman procured a quantity of arsenic, which she said she was going to take, and then send a letter already written to the Chief of Police, charging him with poisoning her, so as to have him indicted for murder. At last the unfortunate man felt himself so dreadfully persecuted and driven almost to dispair, that he conveyed his house and lot, No. 67 Jane-st. also a handsome establishment in Fourth-st. val- ved altogether $30,000, through one Ap- pleby to the woman Livingston alias Starr. After the conspirators had succeeded in gettiag the complainant to sign over the property, they called on his wife and rep- | state. Add to this the filth of the room and | the half naked condition of the sufferers, and w e wonder not that the scene long haunted the observer. He went in. The girl could not | speak, but the man cried “ water,” in a feéble voice, and pointed to the girl, ag if to attract the stranger’s attention to her. The traveller, Mr. J., of Cincinnati, hastened away, taking with him a tin pan, and says he never ran bar- der in his tife than he did about a half mile to a small stream he had passed. On his return, he found:the man still alive, and gave bim wa. ter, which he eagerly drank. He pointed to thé girl and said—* she’s starving.” Mr. J. gave the girl some water, which appeared to revive her, and she tried to talk, but could not. With much difficulty he learned from the man that there was a house about a mile distant, to which he hurried. On his arrival there he { found only a negro, While getting some provisions, and hasten- | ing back with the man, the latter informed him that the cholera had broken out in that neigh. yerhood: and the family owning him had left for the time being. He said the little girl of the resented to her that her husband had sold | provisions until about three days back—that the property to them. By these false | (he man and woman had been sick for a long | time, &c. On their return, the man was dying, representations they ebtaimed her signa- ture, and thus rendered the deed perfect. Mr. Topping was thus turned out of house and home, but the successful villains, as if not satisfied with their ill-gotten goods, made him also build a house in Sallivan | county for the residence of the parents of Livingston alias Starr. plaint, issued his warrant for the arrest of the accused, who were shortly afterward taken into custody, by officers Davie and. Wyman, of the Second District P. Court. Boyd was yesterday held to ba in the sum of $5,000, which was procured and the female prisoner was locked apin. default of the same amount. The preffi- ises so felloniously obtained. were levied upon by Deputy Sherriff Cunningham, and Mr. Topping and family had the | pleasure of being reinstated in their old home. A further examination will take place in a few days, when some more particulars in relation to this tangled web of mystery will be elicited.

As there was not a family in the neigh- borhood, the person having gone whom Mr. J. wished to see, the girl who was sick & exhaust- _ed was left with the negro, who promised faith. fully to attend to her. Yet there were but little hopes of her recovery. It has never been our misfortune to hear a more horrible tale of real. ity than this. —Evensville (Ia.) Journal. Capacity of a Soil to endure constant Culti- vation.—The capacity of a soil to support for a series of years, the cultivated crops, depends mainly upon the following conditions : 1. Upon the quantity of water it can imbibe or retain, during the seasons which would be considered dry. 2. On account of nutritious matter which may be introduced without waste. A supply of water must ever be regarded as one of the most essential things in the cultiva- tion of all erops. ‘This water must be retain- ed long enough to act upon the nuvtriwnent in the soil; it must not escape immediately from the superior part of the soil, or that part through | which it usually ramifies. ‘The quantity of nu- | triment which may be condensed in a soil, de- _it is too porous, if it is speedily washed out | and lost ; if too close, it is not received into it | but is lost by exhalation from the surface ; in | cultivation then, we seek to modify both ex. tremes, the object in all cases being to secure that texture which shall give it certain relations to water, which experience and reason have determined to be best. Definitions. —The northern tribes of Indians call Rum “ fire-water,” the Camanches call it “ fool-water,” and the Malays “a nail-in-one’s. n.” Some Christians call it ‘ a-creature. of God.”” Who gives the best definition—the untutored savages, or the Bible-taught Chris. lians. Experiment with Ashes.—A correspondent of the New England Farmer, spread “on a small square of a few rods” ten bushes of ash- es, on worn-out meadow. “ The grass there was three feet high, while all around, with equal advantages, except ashes, it was hardly five inches high in July.” _ a 7 4 a 5 ean wae SBURY, N.

The importance of apples, as food, has not hitherto been sufficiently estimated in this coun. try, nor understood. Besides contributing a large portion of sugar, mucilage, and other nu- tritive matter, in the form of food, they contain such a fine combination of vegetable acids, ab- stractive substances, and aromatic principles, with the nutritive matter, as to act powerfully in the capacity of refrigerants, tonics, and an. tiseptics ; and, when freely used at the season of ripeness, by rural laborers and others, they prevent debility, strengthen digestion, correct the putrefactive tendencies of nitrogenous food, avert scurvy, and probably maintainand streng- then the powers of productive labor. ‘ ‘The op- erators of Cornwall, in England, consider ripe apples nearly as nourishing as bread, and more In the year 1801, a year of scarcity, apples, instead of being converted in- to cider, were sold to the poor; and the Jabor- ers asserted that they could stand their work on baked apples, without meat; whereas, a potatoe diet required either meat or fish.” The French and Germans use apples exten- sively ; indeed, it is rare that they sit down, in the rural districts, without them in some shape or other even atthe best tables. and mechani¢s-depend on them, to a very great extent, agan article of food, and frequently dine on sliced apples and bread. red cabbage, carrots, or by themselves, witha litle sugar and milk, they make both a plea- sant and nutritious dish. only provide themselves with plenty of choice fruit, we will venture that not one man, woman, or child, in fifty, would care for animal flesh to Who doubts, for a moment, that many scrofulous and other diseases are traceable toa It is well known that much of the meat we eat is in a diseased state when slaugh- tered, and its effect may be well imagined.— Yet our fruit is always in a healthy state, and cannot generate disease in the human body ; but it has a diluting, purifying, and renovating tendency.— Water.

The discussion of such issues, whether as- sumed or real, in the newspapers, is, in my judgment offensive to the public taste, for va- rious reasons. Personal difficulties or misun- derstandings among gentlemen, when they ex- ist in fact, can always be adjusted more satis- factorily in private. I am not responsible for this intrusion upon the public, and truly regret the necessity which leaves me no other altern. ative. - In a certificate addressed to the editor of the Standard, dated Wentworth, July 16th, 1850, and signed by Mr. ‘IT. Ruffin, Jr. and others, and pudlished on the 29th of that month, it is stated in substance, that they were present at the po. litical discussion between my opponent and myself at Wentworth in Rockingham County, on the 29th June preceding, and that they un. derstood me as declaring that | was in favor of abolishing federal population as the basis of representation in our Constitution, and of insti- tuting white population in its stead; and fur- ther that I stated I was a better friend to equal suffrage than my opponent. Accompanying Mr. Ruffin’s “* Card to the Public” in the last Stan. dard are published sundry other certificates of gentlemen, dated since the election was over, who were present on that oceasion, and who affirm in substance that they also so understood me. , Now Ido not undertake %® say that these gentlemen stated falsehoods, nor that they have corruptly and maliciously represented me. By no means. I say my positions: were misunder- stood. Whether this arose from any obscurity in the manner in which they were stated by me, that being my first speech in the campaign, or whether the impressions of those gentlemen were derived from unfounded inferences from my arguments, instead of- legitimate conclu- sions, I know not. But by some means my position and opinions were misinterpreted by them, as I shall proceed to show. On the 29th day of June last, I met my op- ponent for the first time during the campaign in his own county at Wentworth. I commenced the discussion and alluded briefly to several topics. In regard to Equal Suffrage, I said or intend. ed to say, as I had done many times before, that, if by allowing the qualified voters in the House of Commons to vote also in the Senate, it was contended that this made them equal or gave them equal political power under our Con- stitution, it was a mistake; that it would not accomplish that object. By way of illustration, I argued that the County of Onslow formed one Senatorial District and was allowed one Sena tor. The Counties of Wilkes, Caldwell, Burke and McDowell formed one Senatorial District 'and were allowed one Senator. ‘That allowing | all the free white men in these districts to vote for their Senators respectively, would not be granting to them an equality of power, for as Onslow had about 800 voters and the other | four Counties had about 4000 voters, it would | be making 800 men equal to 4000, or making one man equal to fives And I argued that it would be necessary for those who advocaled the proposed amendment in the Constilution on this ground, to change the basis of representation to the white population principle, so that ove white man in ome section of the State would be of equal weight to a while man in any other sec. tion—that the advocates of the doctrine, to be = ot — : efion [ sisted fur, fic Treastiry. * In this othe rl ther, as an abstract propos , make a Cunstitutén for a-people ab initio hating had no Constitution, before) that 1 population.should form the basis tion i one branch at least of the law. ng But makiag a Constitution ab in itio or from the start, a new Constitution tor @ > new State, is a very different thing, in my judge? pia; ‘ment, from changing an old one already exist-7 to.me ing ; existing upon compromises of sectional in- 41 fluences, and adjustments of antagonistic inter- ests, like the Constitution of North Carolina. And it was a:total mistake and misapprehen- sion of my argument and opinions to suppose that I, at Wentworth or elsewheré, ever advo- cated the doctrine of chaning our present Con- stitution so as to abolish federal and substitute white population as the representative basis.— These-were the opinions that [ expressed my- self ready “to stand up to and to swear by,” and not the upturning of our Constitution and the abandonment of its compromises. not proposing amendments to our Constitution ; for as I said in my printed address tothe Whig Convention, “in my judgment it is no part of a Governor’s duties or right to make of pro- pose new Constitutions fur the People.” Yet I have no doubt that those who have given Certificates about my speech undegstood me as they have stated and were honest in But as I have already said either they drew inferences not warranted by the argument, or my views were too ambigu- ously or obscurely expressed. altention was drawn to the subject subsequent. ly, that I had been so understood at Wentworth it was promptly disavowed and my true position department. their convictions.

This allegation was repeated by my opponz2nt in our public discussions at various other places afler. wards and always repudiated and disaffirmed by me, and on some occasions with surprise | and warmth that he should persist in alluding to it after he had been so repeatedly disabused. These often repeated disclaimers too, it will be observed were made in part of the State where the doctrine is understood to be popular and where it might have been received with great favor by those whom I addressed. On the 17th of July, when on the eve of leaving Morganton, I received information, for the first time, that Circulars and Hand.-bills had been sent into the Eastern part of the State where this change in the Constitution is very unpopular, stating that I was advocating this The information given me was quite indefinite ; | had seen no news. papers; no time nor place was particularized where such sentiments had been expressed by me, but the general idea merely was conveyed to my mind by the intelligence, that it was set forth and circulated in the East on the Eve of ection, when but little time was allowed for ex, anation there, that I was conducting the campaign on this issue; that in other words I had come out for itand was travelling through the West urging it before the People. the impulse arising from this gross injustice, I wrote short notes to the Editor of the Register and other Whig Papers in the State denounc- ing the charge as false. write explanations, I contented myself with a simple denial and requested a friend who had heard me at Wilkesboro’, Lenoir, and Mor. ganton, to write to the Register and explain This he did on the 18tb of July, and it was published on the 27th, in the Reg- ister, and fully sustains what I-here state. knew that | was advocating no such doctrine, and pronounced the charge to be false. respectable man of both parties among the thousands who heard me in the West from Sa. lem to Cherokee, knows it to be false. all know that I not only did not advccate the doctrine, but that on all occasions, when brought to my notice, I expressly repudiated and disavowed it. In my communication to the Presses, I had no reference to the Certificate of Messrs. T. Ruffin, Jr., and others, addressed tothe Stand. My communication was written and da- ted 17th July, at Morganton. Mr. Ruffin’s cer- lificate is dated 16th July, at Wentworth, the places being 150 miles apart, and appears in the Standard on the 20th—three days after the date of my Communication, and which in fact | I never saw until after the close of the Cam- paign on my return from Cherokee.

A most curious instance of a change of in- stiact ismentionedby Darwin. The bees car- ried over to Barbadoes and the Western Islands ceased to lay up heney alter the first year.— They tound the weather so fine, and materials for honey so plentiful, that they quitted their grave, prudent, and mercantile character, be- came exceedingly profligate and debauched, ate up their capital, reaolved to work no more and amused themselves by flying about the su- gar houses and stinging the negroes. A Dutchman being called on to belp pay for a lightning rod for the village church, toward the building of which he had liberally subscrib- ed, exclaimed, “I have helped to build a house tor de Lort, and if he chooses to donder on it, and knock it down, he must do it at bis own risk ” There can he no friendship where there is no freedom.

After a severe struggle, tw of the slaves were hand-cuffed, but one of them made his escape. - The court bas jnst issued a warrant against the owners and all engaged in the affair, for an assault and battery with in- tent to excite a riot. The slaves and their owners are now in jail. The court has also ordered the sheriff to employ a posse for the purpose of dis- persing at all hazards, the mob now as- sembled in front of the prison. Later—Rioters Arrested—Millitary Called Out.— A second despatch, dated at 1 P. M. on Saturday, says: Ten free negroes have been arrested for trying to incite to riot. The slaves, two in number, are in prison. The owners of the slaves and other per- sons engaged in securing them after their discharge by the court, are now before the court on a writ of habeas corpus. The two slaves are held in jail. The crowd before the prison have been dispersed by the military called out by Gen. Sailer, and the town is resuming, in a measure, its wonted quiet and order. Stange things in South Carolina.—The Charleston Courier tells of seeing in that city a half grown pullet, with an extra leg and four- teen toes. Not long ago, the Courier, or Mer- cury, described an egg within an egg, which it had inspected, and speculated curiously on the contingency of the two having gone through the hatching process. ‘These must be portentous times in the Palmetto State. May not the pul- let be a type of gentlemen of the Rhett genus, with their superlative Southernism, and the supposed chicken within a chicken, of South Carolina notions of the relations of the State and Federal Governments? Southernism, Jike the two legs of a justly formed pullet, is a good thing, but when it exists in excess, it may be, like the pullet’s third leg, not merely useless but hurtful. And the perpetual striving of one of the States with the Union may end in the destruction of both, as the efforts of the inner towl, to emerge from the body of the outer, would doubtless put a speedy end to the exis- tence of each.— Rinchmond Times. THE PLANK ROAD TO CENTRE. The application for a charter for a Plank Road from Fayetteville to Centre wi!l be made, and we have no doubt the money will be sub- scribed to build the road ; but it has been sug- gested to us, that a very important point in the scheme has been either overlooked or impru- dently neglected: that a provision for three short branches from the main stem, one to Lau- rel Hill, one to Rockingham, and one to Wades. borough. The first and last named would not be over 12 or 14 miles in Jength, andthe middle one 9 or 10. No person of foresight can deny that here are three highly important points to which every consideratiun points a road. The distance in all will not exceed forty miles, as we understand ; and there can be no doubt that the cilizens of those places and along the line, all of whom are public spirited, would be enlisted in the cause, and would subscribe liberally, be- yond question sufficiently tobuild those branches. We do.not know exactly what are the views of the company, but we do hope that they are not going toneglect so important a link in the plan of their road, and pass within so short a distance of those important points, without em. bracing themin the general plan. A word to tue wise is sufhcient.—Fay. Carolinian. Distressing Death from Hydrophobia.— We learn from the Natchez free Trader, that Miss Sarah Fulton, a lovely and in- teresting young lady of nineteen years, belonging to Franklin county, Miss., came to her death on Sanday the fourth instant, from the bite of a mad dog about four weeks previous. The Free Trader says: “Miss Fulton on Saturday morning, felt shooting pains from the place where she had been bitten in the arm, ascending towords her neck and throat; but was | well enough to ride some distance to at- tend a Temperance barbecue. ‘The day being hot, much water was drank; and while attempting to drink, the poor girl felt an unaccountable spasm, or chill, per- vade her frame, which prevented her from drinking. As she rode home she grew worse, and told the gentlemen who accompanied her that she would die of canine madness. The proxysms soon be- came dreadful ; her mouth constantly fill- ing saliva, and throwing out foam, which had to be wiped away constantly. Her distressed and coarse breathing could be heard many hundred yards. Naturesunk under the awful struggle in about twenty four hours, and death came to her relief on Sunday evening, the day after she was taken ill, What is more awful, and fills the community far and near with a per- vading gloom, is the fact, that Mrs. Fal-.| ton, a widow, and the mother of Miss Sarah, was bitten moch worse than her daughter, by the same dog ; a negro, be- longing to them, was also bitten; neither of whom. as yet, bas felt the symptoms of the disease.” A wife whe loses her patience must not ex- '} out any. ile or glemen of the Star, are of that blood-and-thun- breathing out-war ; and unless we are mista- th. Que ie in favor of 9.die- ‘breaking away and: epat g for war, in the event California.is admitted .with -her present Constitution. - Another will goto war if Texas. relinquishes her right ‘to any'portion of her ter- ritery.. Another willbe satisfied with authing short of the Missouri Compromise Tine. Anoth- er with nothing short of a distinct and indisputa- ble acknowledgment of property in slaves, etc, ete. « Now we should be pleased to: know to which of these classes our friends of the Star nia is admitted? Do they demand the Mis- scuri Compromise line, and if itis not granted are they for war? Will they ,want to fight if Texas sells a portion of her territory? Will they join those Soutbrons of this class to they should make a trade ? When men talk, now-a-days, of Southern Rights, it is so easy for mistakes to arise, that it is well to be a little explicit. For ourselves we hesilate not to say, that any of the measures for adjustment now before Congress will satis- fy us if they bring peace and quiet to the coun- try. Indeed, any seftlemeat that is not a ser- vile surrender of undeubted rights, securing an end so much desired, will be hailed with joy. We have no idea that the sober. minded gen- der class in the South who have gone mad.— We even doubt whether the éditors would sup- port measures looking to a dissolution of the Union under any circumstances, this side of the total expenditure of every Constitutional reme- dy for the redress of any actual or supposed grievance. And yet, it laye itself liable to be enumerated among those journals which are ken, we have seen it so-classed. We should be pleased, indeed, to join with the Star ia’pre- senting a “united front to our common ene- my ;” and if the editors take our remarks ‘in good part and give the proper testimonia}s shat they are “for the Union for the sake ofthe Country and our Country’s Free Institutions,” why then we’ll join them against any “com. mon enemy.” — THE LATE STORM. The newspapers from every direction give accounts of the disastrous effects of the storm of the 24th ultimo.—It prostrated chimneys, trees, fences, &c. in Camden, and the river soon rose toa greater height than has been known for years, flooding all the crops in the low grounds. At Columbia ils fury does not: seem to have been so great.—The Greensbo- rough Patriot contains a letter giving a graphic description of the storm in the Dan and Smith river country, Va. The Dan was 30 feet high. er than ordinary, and the destruction of bridg- es, mills, & crops, along that river & its tributa- ries is said to be beyond calculation.—The Wilmington Rail R. Co. had a bridge 150 yards longdifted by the wind and throwadown.—In its passage through Halifax county, the storm blew down houses, and tore up cotton by the roots. —The “ Norfolk Beacon” says it commenced there about 11 o’clock Saturday night, (in Sal: isbury about 2 o'clock, we think) and tore off the tin roofs of a number of houses, in the city ; and in the country, houses, &c., were blowa down or moved, and in one case, awhite woe man and two children were killed, by the house in which they lived being blown down.” But the greatest damage seems to have been done in Rutherfordco., N. C., where the rain commenc- ed at 8 o’clock in the morning, and the wind at 8o’clock at night. Eight bfidges and se- venteen mills on Broad river were destroyed ; and the crops in the valleys injured. The Ban- ner estimates the damage in that county alone, at $200,000!

Randolph and George Vogler, | excited considerable interest in our Town, for | a few days past. They intend taking out a patent right for it. It is capable of transport. ing, they think, by the power of one horee, more than two teams of six horses with the common road wagon. However this may be, it is very evident on looking at the model, which they have made, that a working Carr built afier the plan, could sustain all the weight that could be placed upon it. There are no axles to break, or wheels to crush; and we doubt not ona very smooth hard road one horse could draw almost a mountain of lead. We are afraid, however, that on common roads it may not be found to answer. But as an offset to our fears we must mention the confidence of success of Messrs. Randolph and Vogler, eith- er of them being far more competent than we to decide the questiog. We sincerely trust we are mistaken, and shall watch the result of a fair experiment with no little interest. If it Should so.turn out, why then here is a great }thing, which, for many purposes, is destined to lay road wagons completely in the shade.

The Late Storm—Through passengers, (says the Augusta Chronicle) we have accounts of the storm as far west as Mont- | gomery, who represent it as very destruc- tive. The same reports reach us from all intermediate points. Throughout Georgia as far as we have been able to collect verbal accounts, they represent it as very disastrous to the cotton crops. In this vi- cinity, however, in the river plantations, on both sides of the Savannah, the de- struction of corn crops is terrible indeed, | by the overflow. We hear of planters who will not make corn enough on the finest and richest land, to last them a month—and of one whose crops will be cut short 10,000 bushels. —C. Courter. GOLD.

Bruner & James: ars If my Iast letter was so for- | teas to reach you, you will have followed | ig my progress towards the land of gold, as | fr a Cruces. I slept there on the night of | the 6th of M ¢ l Me hree deep, with a space of one foot.be- dene. The temperature was precisely right | pd without blanket or other cover, but with a | : cane covered roof between me and the dews of heaven, let alone the two sleepers who | occupied successively, the shelves above me. I | sep! soundly and had a sweet dream of | ! | ercis up betimes next morning, (Sunday) | and having appropriated the balance of my two | dollars’ worth of accommodation, in the shape | of sundry slices of fried ham, of questionable | soundness, and some really good boiled rice, | wasbed down with some tolerable coffee, with. | out “leche” (milk.) I commenced my negotia. | tions for the transportation of my traps to Pa. | nama. ¢ There were something overa hundred | of my fellow travellers who were about to vio. | \ate the Sabbath ina similar way,and of course | mies were “in demand.” [| had just 175 | wads of baggage, to wit, that big trunk of | mine filled with law books, an India rubber | bag of clothing, anda carpet bag filled with | sundries, including some “ select stores.”— | There was a plenty of mules and a plenty of | drivers, but the latter seemed to shy, in a most especial manner, my “ big trunk :” at length, I | brought in, upon * aid prayer,” a sort of nonde- | script European who seemed to talk all lan. guages witb the same facility, and with about | the same degree of purity, who was acting as | interpreter between the hombres and the Ame. | ricans. I at first thought him an exceedingly | benevolent fellow, as he made no charge for | hie services; but I presently discovered that he | hada trick of appropriating to himself the dif- ference between the fen good dimes which he | insisted upon receiving, to the dollar, and the eight which he actually paid over to the hom. | bres, who were to perform the service. At. length, the negotiations,so far as I was con. | corned, were closed at the following prices :— $16 for the big trunk to be carried by a pack | mule, and $5 for the two bags to be toted by a couple of hombres. Finding, by means ot | the trifling amount of Spanish which I had | Jearned, that my men were not particular about | the payment being in advance, I got off, for the | present with a payment of $2 50, the balance to be paid at Panama. You see [ hadan eye to the saving of the two dimes, and I may add that the thing was accomplished without diffi. | culty, at Panama. It will occur to you that I) have made no mention of the price of my own | passage. The truth is that while almost all of | my fellow travellers took mules to ride at $16 each, | made up my mind to walk ; and so af. ter seeing my baggage safely on the way, I leisurely slung my provisions at my side, (a box of sardines and half dozen sea biscuit.) put | | tiers my Colt’a revolver in my pocket, and started on, alone. It was now something past nine o’- clock, and the weather, to say the least, toler. ably warm. However, I had an umbrella, and, as [ was in no sort of hurry, I resolved to “ take it coolly.” [found the path by no means so difficult as I had supposed. It seems to have been paved, at some remote period of time, the whole way from Cruces to Panama. The rains and the travel, have, however, broken it up, much of the way, and when this isthe case it is of course very rough and irregular. The path is in places cut down ten ar twelve feet below the general surface, and is frequently too narrow for mules to pass each other. Add to this that the rank and luxuriant vegetation meet- ing together at the top, forms a densegggof over bead, thus making a pretty close IF for equestrian, asinine or pedestrian exercise |— Your triend, however, found the road by no means monotonous or disagreeable. Some- limes he would emerge, like a mole from his underground passage, and get a very pleasant view of the scenery around. There was no lack of streams and springs of good water, and here and there a native’s hut by the wayside, with possibly a fair senorita swinging lazily in a hammock, presented an opportunity to halt | and rest. [ overtook my two parties, a short distance from Cruces, and found, much to my vesation, that they had joined teams with a couple of fellows who were carrying a piece of casi iron machinery, that must have weigh. ed three hundred pounds. were relieving each other at intervals, and at the rate they were going I saw it must take them at least two days to reach Panama. I re- Monstrated with my men, and offered them emquos peros (five dollars) if they would part company with their more heavily laden com- panions. But it was of no use, and after wast- ing an hour in useless entreaty, [ passed on and left my bags to their fate. _ Before five o’clock, I had completed half my Journey—[_ had taken it extremely leisurely, but stillas you may suppose, was something * sweaty.” rest, and as there was a possibility that my (wo men might come up in the course of the even. lag, and as it was a very good camping ground with a spring of water and two or three buts hard by, I concluded to call a halt for the night. My example was followed by others as they successively came up; and as it occurred to) me that with the rather limited sleeping ac- commodations to be found in the huls, there. Would soon be a demand for the “ best beds,” I look the precaution to engage a hammock, the only one the place afforded, at the price of six reals. This done, I made a very nice division of provender, and devoured the one moiety thereof for my supper, with a more than usual. ly keen relish, gratifying, however, the curi- osity of mine host’s family in relation to my sardines, by presenting them, severally, with rather small portions of that savory edible. : The evening wore away, and my two men still failed to make their appearance, I stretch- ed myself in my hammock to try it. What a charming bed! and I was getling sleepy ; but it wouldn’t do to go to slesp so, for my clothes were as wet ag if [ had jnst swam the Yadkin, snd I should get sick and take the fever!

With the aid of this luxury, my re- F maining stock of provisions furnished me a ve- ry good breakfast, the whole being rounded off with a “native segar” purchased upon the pre- mises at the rate of a realadozen. At seven, I was again under way, carrying somewhat lighfer weights than before. In about an beur | came up withthe. mule carrying my. big trunk, the hombre in @lfendance having stopped to take a drink. I simply gave the latter a nod of recognition and. passed on, satisfied that all would be ‘right. The road began now to im- prove. The howses became more numerous, passengers more frequent. Baskets of fruit were displayed for sale, bananas, limes, or- anges, the latter of the very finest description and dog cheap. I passed the bridge, two miles from town, where I found several Americans, wailing upon the look-out for friends, and about half a mile on, called a halt at some fine springs, where I saw great numbers of the natives washing. It appeared*that this was the prin- cipal souree for the supply of water for the city, the transportation being effected by mules car- rying four jars each, lashed to a pack saddle. I soon took the road again, being curious to see the city. Indications of the presence andcha. racteristics of my own countrymen now be- eame sufficiently apparent. Upon rude shan- ties, thickly scattered along the road side, coarsely painted signs were displayed, as if to invite the weary travellerto repose. The “ Ir- ving House,” the “ Astor,” the ‘ Fremont,” the Lovejay’s,” &c., severally presented their claims to cunsideration, [ contented myself with a single glass of “ root beer,” which an enter: prising youth was dealing out from atwo by four feet stall. At a litte past ten, I was marching up to the gates of the city—for Panama isa walled town-— and looking out for quarters. The hotels.along the principal street were sufficiently numerous, but among thém all, I am free to confess it, I had no hesitation in making choice of the “New England House,” its name was so very pleasantly suggestive of * codfish” and ** baked beans!” I engaged board at fifieen dimes ($1 874) per day, and secured the use of a little cage of a room, close under the roof of the house for chance among the general herd, who were forc- ed to strew themselves at night along the floors and tables. The hotel was crowded to over. flowing with all sorts of people, talking all sorts of languages, and the “noise and confusion” kept the old grey headed landlord in a state of continual and very unpleasant excitement. I now began to have doubts about the genuine- ness of his puritanism, forI discovered that he cursed and blasphemed with a most unusual degree of bitterness and volubility. To my 'he had bought out the establishment from a | Yankee who had recently quitted it for Califor. | nia, but that for himself he was from the Eas. tern partof North Carolina! ‘This announce- | ment did’nt ‘“‘set me back” any, as you may suppose. The landlord and I, after that, got into a way of having a little spread of ham and eggs “ to ourselves.” There muet have been three thousand Ame. ricans in and about the city, waiting for a pas- sage to California. Some had been there sev- eral weeks, others for months. Tickets were selling as high as $800. Some were turning an honest penny and bettering their pecuniary day by day. Gambling was rife: Monti ta- bles to he seen atevery corner. Drinking too, | was quite fashionable. The buildings at Panama are all old, and _many of them a good deal gone to decay. The ' churches, however, still retain traces of their former magnificence. The towers of some of them are ornamented with rows of pear! shells. |The altars, candlesticks, &c., are in some in- stances of massive silver. Our American boys , however, treat these sacred things with a sad want of reverence, sometimes lighting their se- gars atthe candles burning before the altars, and sometimes watering their mules at the holy founts! The streets are generally paved, in- clining to the centre, which forms a gutter.— ''The houses have but few windows, and these are without glass, being clused with shutters. |The city might be kept clean at a very small | expense, but is really in a very filty condition. \It will however be Americanized in a short | time. I remained in the city Just two days—my men came up with my bagage in due time, ev. ery thing safe. I think the natives from Cha- _gres to Panama the most honest people I have | ever met with. I was continually passing mule | loads of gold and silver, on my walk to Pana- 'ma, without any thing like a sufficient guard in | any instance. I find I shall not have space to enter much into the detail of my trip from Panama to San Francisco. We stopped but once, touching at | Acapulco, just one week trom Panama, for fuel, water and fruits. The harbor here is one of the prettiest I ever saw. You run in for about half a mile through a passage of the same width, turn short to your left and find yourself in a circular basin, three-fourths of a mile in diameter, completely landlocked by high moun. tains, with the town just before you rising from the shore to the top of the mountains. All kinds of tropical fruits are here cheap and abundant. I think that much of the travel from the States to California will hereafter be by way of Vera Cruz, Mexico, and this place.— Having remained at Acapulco two days, we were off again for California. We had suffer. ed somewhat from heat hitherto, but within two days, we began to fee! the cold winds from the Northwest, and strange to say when we were precisely under the sun, overcoats were need. ed. We made land only once, near Cape St. Lucas, until we reacted the vicinity of this place, the practice usually being to keep near condition—others wasting their small pittance | ortwo we run along within six or eight miles of the coast, ‘a confisuous range of lofty and precipitous mountains skirts the shore. These ara for the most part barren of trees; and in- deed, so far as I could see of all vegetation, | whatsoever. I learned however, from those who ought to know, that what appeared to be jut_yellow sand, was really wild oats just ripe ! * Phursday morning, June 20th, the bustle in the cabin started me rather earlier than usual, and upon going on deck, I found thatI were in sight of the golden gate, a mere gap in the mountains, say, a mile wide. We entered it near due east three or four miles, turned short around a promontory on our right five or six hundred feet high, and—what a sight! If you have seen the shipping at New York, you have some idea of it; a forest of masts with flags of all nations flying at their peaks! I got my- self and baggage landed for two dollars, and the latter carried three squares to where I put up for two more, besides paying forty cents for wharfage. I have now been here three weeks and’three days, and have so far got over the eonfusion incidental to my first impressions as to be able to give you some facts. Every thing in the. shape of merchandise can be had here in the greatest abundance. ‘Things which are in demand being three or four times the prices in the States ; things which are not in demand are auctioned off for almost nothing. Thick warm clothing is requisite the year round—I speak of this city : up the country it is frequently very hot at mid day. The climate of this place istomeamystery. The greatest range of the thermometer has been from 50° to 70° since I have been here—I believe it has not touched either point. It is safe betting even that at 6 A. M., it will-be within one degree of 60; at 12 M:, within one degree of 68; at 5 P. M., within one degree of 60 again, and at 9 with- in the same distance of 54°. The consequence is that there is no absolute necessity of fires except to cook by, and in fact not one room in twenty has a fire place. Why then the neces. sity for so much clothing? I sleep under more covering than I needed in the winter season in North Carolina, and I never think of going out after five P. M., without an overcoat. The truth is the wind begins to rise by ten or twelve. It blows from the north-west, and while it don’t effect the thermometer much, it certainly telts upon the human frame. It is said, however, that there is no difference between summer and winter, except that one is wet and other dry—and so dry! Just fancy the streets of Salisbury covered four to six inches deep with ashes—suppose the wind blowing some- where between a stiff breeze and a gale.— How far do you think you could see? What would be the condition of your eyes? What of your clothes? Add in this connection the supposition that washing was five dollars a dozen ; what would you think of it? Such is San Francisco! As I have alluded to prices, I will dilate a little. Board ranges trom seven dollars a day down to four, including lodgings. Single meals at a restaurant from one to two dollars. Rent is the dearest thing in propor- tion. I pay $75 a month for my office, a small room 16 feet by 9, on a second floor. A cot, mattrass, pillow and blankets, exclusive of the bed linen cost me $50, other things in propor- tion. It would take a big pile to live here long at that rate. However, I am beginning to do something for myself: I bave taken in $130 for fees in the past week, and have two big cases on hand which will “ net” me something hand- some, I trust. There is another thing, it is all bard money in this democratic country, and I take it that counterfeit “ fellers’” would go about as well as any—for so far as I see there is now |“ sly inspection” of any coin. Every body counts it, gold as well as silver, just asa gam- bler does his checks, by first counting one pile then making the others of the same height !— | Speaking of gambling, you may see more here | in one hour than you could possibly see in a life-time in the United States. It perfectly ap- pals me—I used to indulge occasionally in a small way, and among select b’boys, but I have never risked a dollar upon a game in Califor- nia. upon a credit till he lost $4000, and is no sued for the recovery of that sum. There is no statute upon the subject, and how the Judges will hold the common law of the State to be I cannot tell. bled recently, as [ understand, to the extent of their year’s salaries themselves! Qne of them the other night “ run agin” four nines, while he held only “a ace full”! ! So I was told! On the whole, this is a great country, and things is lively. There are lots of Doctors with nothing to do, for one thing is certain, the city ishealthy. Nothing in the shape of sickness pre- too free use of the water. The latter contains magnesia and requires to be slightly dashed. Of preachers there is but a limited number, but as there is no demand the market is dull. Of lawyers I don’t know the precise number, I should set it down at a rough estimate at two hundred, and doubtless there are more “a comin.” But there is “ lots” of law business. No article is manufactured which can be hrought from elsewhere. Printers, carpenters, painters, masons, and common laborers, are al- ways in demand. One building in fifty is a dwelling house, the balance are stores, restau- rants, gambling houses, offices and hotels, rank- pose there are more restaurants here than in any other city in the United States not exclu- ding New York. The city authorities are vails except dysentery, which is owing to the + ing by numbers in the order named. I sup- | feet long, and one of the rooms has four bill. iard tables.

Wealth, luxury, magnificence, power, a people distinguished by intelligence, activity and great abilities, these will be hers ; but the pure morals, the domestic virtnes—the domes- tic happiness enjoyed by the people of poorer States, will, alas! be wanting. You will certainly write to me, and give me a detail of all that has occurred since I lefi the place. God knows the old town is dear to me, and I shall return to it one day as to a home. Yours truly, J.C. “And the Lord said unto Satan, From whence comest thou? And Satan answered the Lord, and said, From. going to and fro in the earth, and from walking up and down in it.” Job, 2d chap., 2d vr. That man who goes wandering about over mountains, hills and plains, not seeking whom he may “devour,” but whom he may interro- gate concerning peas and beans and the like, cannot be treated with much injustice, we are inclined to think, if compared to the enemy of the human race. Afier mature reflection, and examination of the highest authorities, we give it as our legal opinion that such an individual might be successfully prosecuted as an officious meddler in private affairs. We say the man who unblushingly walks into a parlor and pre- sumes to ask ladies, old and young; their names and more especially their ages, tichly deserves the frowns of the whole sex ; and perhaps he would not be maltreated, however hard he might deem his peculiar case, if all the dogs, hounds and curs, were turned loose upon him. Just think of the fellow’s impudence, will you 1— Why, he just walks in—he does affect to ‘‘ bow and scrape a little,” but all for mere show— and scarcely takes time to seat himself before he commences his silly nonsense. A tolera. tion of sach conduct is altogether intolerable, and a lady would do herself eredit in our estima. tion by throwing hot water on such scamps as practice it. A young man sat out a month ago on a mis- sion somewhat like that above sketched. His food was various, and not seldom precarious. His hat was panama ; his coat variable, for it changed with the signs of the times, chamelion like ; his vest decidedly modest, and by no means costly ; and other things adapted to the foregoing. He knew that Shakespeare says, ‘* Costly thy habit as thy purse can buy, But not expressed in fancy ; mch, not gaudy: For the apparel oft proclaims the man ; And they in France, of the best rank and station, Are most select and generous, chief in that,” but deemed it good advice only for meet occa. sions under fit circumstances. He had a com. mission under the government of the United States, travelled on horseback, carried a port- folia convenienly suspended in an oil-cloth cov. ering, and was authorized officially, to proceed in due manner and form to take what the old women call the “Senses” of the people, and to be especially particular in ascertaining the exact ages of all unmarried ladies and confirm- ed bachelors. He resolved in the outset not quiet- ly to allow the motives of the government which he served to be assailed, wisely concluding that one’s real follies are enough to be borne. He has strictly adhered to this determination, and has struggled hard in many instances against the potent arguments of incensed old Jadies.— Incensed because they have a holy horror ot taxes, and look upon “taking the Senses” as the first step to taxation; and, above all, of- fended in dignity at the mere presence of an official. After the official had propounded all his ques. tions on one occasion, and they had been prompt- Tam retained by a defendant who bet | ly answered, the good old lady ruled forth as as follows : . ** Now, stranger, I want you to tell me what all this is for? Some tells me it is for direct taxes, and [ can’t see any other use in all of it. use in it. I’m opposed to all sich proceedins, so lam!” Here the young man explained, and became almost eloquent in attempting to sustain the government. ‘The good lady’s wrath became somewhat appeased, but not wholly suppressed. “Well,” she resumed, “ wont the Plank road raise the taxes ?” The official frankly acknowledged that such a thing might be among public contingences, but hinted that it was a matter foreign to bis business. Yes,” said she, excited beyond measure “ I knew it would be so. Iam imposed to Plank roads, any how, and believe it a great sin to travel on them! The Almighty made the coun- try good enough, and it’s a sin to build such great fine roads for your fine gentlemen. You think the ground’s too good for you to walk on and want us poor people taxed to fine planks laid down for you. we'll submit to no sich unpositions. The Al- mighty will visit you “Senses” as he did Da- | vid, and cut you all off, thank Heaven! Yes he will; and you deserve it as richly as any set of fellers ever did! You ought to be unshamed of yerselfe tryin to impress on us poor folks in that sort, so yer ought!” about to direct the grading and planking of eight or ten of the principal streets, and the construction of several large wharves. The city ball containing various court rooms an rooms for the city officers is about 100 by 50 feet in size and four stories high. The county has purchased a lot on which to erect a court house at a cost of $120,000. ‘The city is laid off into squares with sides of 100 varas and 150 varas, the vara a two feet nine inches in length. On one side of the Portsmouth square, the old Plaza, there are four buildings, occupying the whole space of 276 feet, three of them are exclusively devoted to gambling, containing but a single room each, running back; say, a hundred feet.

I knew I had ‘seen it before;:but-where? The lady as evidently had been subject to a jog of memory. ‘The exchange of a few glances sat- isfied us both, and we only wanted a proper op- portunity, or disposition to speak. Ten long years before we had parted in a hoff, and con- sidering myself at the time the aggrieved par- ty, I was not particularly anxious to renew the acquaintance—the jilt! As soon as the boat touched the pier, I was on it, and off for a bath. The lady for the time was forgotten, and issu- ing from the house in my rough bathing dress, I planged into the breakers. I had been fro- licking some time, laying my hand on the ocean mane, and the ocean laying his hand on mine, when I saw two or three other bathers edging up towards me in between the swells. There was a lady, evidently, in advance. Her com. pany apparently forgot her at last, and still she approached me. I went further out. She fol- lowed, and I found she was determined to speak to me. I knew who she was of course. A huge wave came in, and knocked the woman down, but sticking her band out of the water, she gave one scream, and that brought me. I was on the spot as soon as [ could get there, and grasping her arm raised her to her feet. ‘Oh!’ said the lady, ‘ wha—wha—what a meet—meeting, afler such a parting !’ * Well—yes,’ said I bluntly. She now undertook to look the grateful and the interesting, when a huge wave struck her as she looked up to me with parted tips, and crammed her dear mouth with salt water. She dropped again, and again I pulled her out, and she was either very weak, or she thought I was certainly very strong. ‘t Mary,” said I, * have you been happy since we parted ?” She answered me witha sigh, and then look. ing up to me put the same question. Says I, “ bo hum—ho hum—bho hum—Mary, don’t talk about it.” “I have learned some things since then,” said sbe. “Yes,” says I, “I believe you have; you married a learned man, I think.” “* Me married!” ‘- What did you jilt a very good looking man for ten years ago, but to marry a certain Jearned man?” asked I fiercely. “ [beg you will not allude to the foolishness of aschool girl,” replied the lady, and then changing the subject, she wanted to know how she should have felt, if, in saving her from a watery grave, I had drowned myself. I told her it would probably have made less difference with her and me, than with my wife and child ! She gave me but one look, and rose to her feet and put. “« T saw her but a moment, But methinks I see her now,” as she walked off with her bathing dress stick- ing to her, and her little bare feet fairly indent- ing the sand with the spitefulness of her step. REASONS FOR NOT DRINKING. I will not drink because I can do just as well without it. I will not drink beeduse I can do much bet- ter without it. I will not drink because I wish to be always in my senses, and a man who drinks is in im- minent danger of losing his senses. ~ I will not drink because I do not wish even to become subject to such an appetite. I will not drink for fear [ should sometimes drink too much, and lose my self respect. I will not drink lest my wife should despise me ; or my children be ashamed of me. | | will net drink lest my acquaintance should smell my breath and say he loves liquor too much. I will not drink in hot weather, because I can better keep cool without; nor in cold weather, because I can better keep cool with. out it. I will not drink because that is the best and only security for living a sober man, and I will not run any risk of leaving to my children the inheritance of a drunkard’s name. I wilt not drink liquor because no one can show me any good reason for drinking. I will not drink liquor because it increases thirst ; water assuages it. I will not drink liquor because it tends to pro- duce disease, because it makes men forgetful of God, disqualifies them for his service, and renders them unfit for the kingdom of Heaven. We have known drunken Judges ; they lost the confidence of the public, the esteem of their triends, and their own respect, office, charac- ter and fortune were lost. or later their practice forsook them, and they were ruined. We have known drunken physicians: their patients distrusted them, and after a while they had no patients. We have known drunken preachers :—they were left without. churches, they forfeited all claim to earthly respectability, aud bad no title to a better world.than this. All have heard of accidents occurring by the carelessness or drunkenness. of stage drivers, engineers and pilots. Noman willingly trusts himeelf to their keeping, Drunken blacksmiths, shoemakers, tailors, &c., &c., all share the fate of the drunken judge and physician. They lose their busi- ness and character.

Looking to that distinquished. body for an exhibition of those high qualities of mod. eration, practical, good sense, and fidelity to their Country and her interests; and finding nothing but fietce contention, fanaticism, and and delay, they were ready to curse, in their hearts, those whom it would most please. them to blese. As men goaded by misery and des- pairing of relief, become desperate, so with similar delays, and a few more evidences of the unwillingnes or incapacity of Congress to ef- fect those measures of public interest, demand- ed by the country, the people may some day become ripe for desperate deeds, and nothing but a general purification by the sword and a storm of blood and crime, will bring repose again. Fearing that such a calamity was about to be visited upon us, growing out of the difficulties of the present day, it is with the most devout satisfaction and pleasure, that we see the dark and threatening-cloud; which has for so long a time hung over the Country, rolling back, and the light of peace and continued happiness streaming through to cheer the hearts of the happy, prospering millions of our highly favor- ed Country. Congress has fairly begun to wipe away the reproaches which were attaching to it. The Senate did its part of the good work some days ago; and the House of Represen- tatives, we are glad tosee, is following suit with commendable promptness. And here we would refer the reader to the Telegraphic des- patches to the Raleigh Register, to be found in another column. All the measures embraced in the late Compromise, excepting that in re. regard to fugitive slaves, which had some days before passed the Senate, have been acted on and passed. Let them consummate the whole series, especially let them not fail to pass the remaining Bill; and if the people of the North will then show their devotion to the union by promptly punishing all attempts to prevent the complete operation of the fugitive slave law, it will go very far towards re-establishing the former good feeling and kind fellowsbip be. tween the two sections, and must serve to per- petuate whatever of good there is admitted to exist in that union. {HF We present our thanks to the Hons.

Jenner & Mitrar, Professors of Penmanship, who are now with us for the purpose of teaching that Art, have left usa number of visiting Cards, which for beauty of execution, almost equal the best en- graving. These gentlemen, we have noticed, attracted considerable attention in Charleston, Columbia, Petersburg, Richmond, and Raleigh, at all of which places, they have, within the last few months, given instructions to large classes. Those who would learn to write would certain- ly do well to place themselves under the in. struction of these Masters of the Art. And adopting the sentiment of the Weldon Herald, we add our sincere wish that many of those | who occasionally send us advertisements, and communications for the press, would discover themselves to Messrs. Jenree & Millar, and from them learn, if not with a dash of the pen to cut the figure of any thing in animated na- ture, at least to form letters so that they can be deciphered without the trouble of sending for the author.—To write well is a most im- portant subject—far more so, than the arrival and performances of Jenny Lind, or the char. acter and fate of Prof. Webster; and shrewd young men will fortify themseives with the pos. session of this Art, rather than store their minds with the unprofitable particulars of the fashionable screaming of the one, or the depravi- ty and death of the other. bo? The reader will find another interesting letter from California on the first page of this paper, from a gentleman in San Francisco who was lately a citizen of this Town. He is now located in San Francisco ; the most busy, for- \une-making spot in the world. We predict his energy and industry will carry bim through handsomely. J. H.

We re- joice, therefore, to see Mr; Coffman re- plenishing his stock from time to time, since it is an evidence that the enterprise is acceptable to the people.

The news was said to come from a past enger from Charleston. A few facts will show the absurdity of this report. The latest accounts from Texas inform us thal the Governor has asked for two thousand men to enable him to “ cry havoc, & let slip the dogs of war,” on Santa Fe;- and for three thousand, who are to remalt in readiness for orders. Well, there is account that the bill making these gran! has passed the Legislature ; it is though! by many that it will not pass at all. To make this news true, the Legislator must have amended the bill, so as tom it read “ 10,000,” and passed it : the Got. must have raised the 10,000 and marc several hundred miles, and had a bat —and all this must have been done in space of 24 hours, or two or three days# most.— Commercial.

They cer. raioly acquitted themselves in a manner that parked a degree of proficiency in these studies, gedon aitained in the most celebrated schools of our country. Miss Baker, with the assist- sce of her (wo younger sisters, teaches all the paaches, which are usually taught in the best schools in North Carolina; and considering sil of the advantages which conspire to make the schoo! a permanent one, Iam certain that ents and guardians will continue to extend to Miss Baker a liberal degree of patronage. If they wish their daughters and wards to en. joy good health, Lenoir is the place to which they should send them. Here they may enjoy all of the bracing properties of the most salu- bricus climate in the world; and when they pave become wearied with tbe languishing tea ycbool-hours, they may look out and_.rest their eyes upon some of the most sublime, and at the same lime, exquisite tuucRes of Mountain scenery, which the hand of nature ever wrought upon the face of the earth.

We learn that a man named Ezekiel Richardson, was killed near Gray’s Creek Church, about 12 miles below Fayette- ville, on the Cape Fear on Sunday night. From the information we have received. the character of being a very troublesom: defying man ; that the patrol for that trict being near the church, on duty, heard a noise of fighting and a cry of murder or something of that sort. They proceed- ed to the place and found Richardson and a negro man beating another negro man. The patro! at once took the negro into custody, whieh Richardson resisted. Thereupon a fight commenced between Richardson his negro accomplice, and the patrol, in which Richardson was killed. As to who killed. bim, it is a question which will undergo judicial investigation ; but there appears at present no means of telling, so general was the fray, whether death was produced by one particular blow, or by repeated blows from different merchant of we can only state that Richardson bore; 288 4 gig; 10 meet at 4 o'clock, on Tuesday and Toursday for that this beautifal country has been visited fur the last three or four years with a most malig. nant epidemic, in fhe form of typhoid fever ; et there never has been a case of it in the school, and the country is now entirely clear of it. Here, too, boarding niay be had upon the most advantageous terms, in the best fami- lies; thus deriving from this source the bene. fits of good society. Indeed, it is the pride and delight of every one, who wishes to foster and encourage the school, to extend every comfort and courtesy to the young ladies who attend it. The next session of Miss Baker’s school will commence on the firet day of October en- wing. Persons having sons and daughiters to educate, and wishing them to be near to each other, may embrace the advantage of sending their daughters to Miss Baker’s school ; and their sons to Belvoir, two miles from Lenoir.— This sebool is conducted by the Rev. ‘T. 8.

Dear Bruner : On the arrival of the United States Mail Steamship Atlantic at her wharf, foot of Canal Street, yesterday about 2 v’clock in the afier- noon, there was exhibited a spectacle of great- er enthusiastn, than probably ever distinguish. ed that place before, or possibly ever will here- afier. It was pretty generally known that Mad’lle Jenny Lind, the world-renowned Songstress, was on board, and thousands had collected | around the wharves and upon the nearest ship- | ping with strained eyes and open mouths, anx. | iously endeavoring to catch but one glimpse of | the * Swedish Nightingale.” | At last she made her appearance from the | noble steamer, and amidst the deafening ap | plause of the immense crowd, commenced wending her way to her room atthe Irving. But had it not been for the indefatigable exertions of that wonderful man Barnum and others, I | fear Jenny would never bave reached her apartments alive. killed her with kindness. Afier reaching the Irving, loud calls were made for her by the vast assembly in the stree! and around the Hotel, when she made her ap- pearance at her window, kissed ber hand to the crowd and retired. She seemed to be perfect- ly delighted with every thing she saw, and it is said that while observing how well the peo. ple were dressed, she enquired * are there no poor people in this country.” The weather is quite changeable, sometimes ceol for a few days and the then so warm and the air so close, that it is almost impossible to breathe. At present it is very sultry, [ shail be glad when the cold weather sets fairly in, The enthusiasts would have | persons. not believe that any of them intended to do more than discharge their duty to their State.—N.

HE undersigned Proprietors of the Cape Fear Steam Boat Company, beg leave to tender their thanks to the public for the liberal patronage -received during the last season, and take this methed -to inform their patrons and the public generally, that they have added over fifty per cent to the capital stock of the Company in Boats. The dranght of the new Steam Boat “ Chatham” is calculated to navigate the River at all stages of the water, giving shippers by this Line a decided advantage in getting their goods up without delay, especially in the Fall season, when the River is usually too low for Steam Boats-of ordinary draught to run. The Boats composing this Line are The Steamer Governor Graham. 24 years old. ‘< s Chatham, new. “ Tow Boat Mike Brown, 2 years old. BG “Telegraph, 2 years old. ies «Cumberland, new. ed “| Express, new. All the above Boats are in the very best condition for the Fall Business. The undersigned feel warranted in appealing to the shipping public ior such an increased patronage as will remunerate them, to some extent at least, for the additional capital invested, and promise with every confidence that shippers by this Line shall be as well or better served than they can be by any oth- er on the River. The arrangements by the Co-part- ners are intended to be permanent. And should expe- rience suggest the necessity of any further increase of Boats the public may rely upon their being put on the Line without delay. Our rates of Freight at all times will be the current rates charged by others. Bills of Lading for goods intended to come by this Line should be filled up to the “ care of the Cape Fear Steam Boat Company,” Wilmington. One copy being sent by mail to T. C.

Exactly six’ months from ‘that day, that is,on the seventh of Sep- aber, the general sentiments and princi- les of that speech received the final sanc. ion of both Heuses of Congress. Jt has been a half-year of overwhe!m- ing interest. To the friends of Union and the Constitution in Congress, it has been a series of incessant labors and of anxious hours; and to all lovers of the Union out of Congress a period of deep concern and depression, sometimes approaching to hopelessness. The measures which are about to be- come laws are such as to change the en- tire face of public affairs; to give strength and stability to our institutions ; to diffuse confidence throughout all the channels of commerce,and cheer and gladden all the abodes of industry ; to encourage all law. ful and honorable enterprises, and to dis- courage all such as might be ‘pernicious either to the National reputation or the National peace. Even already the Tele- graph, from North, South, and West, gives us, in its reports of the. general joy, the assurance that in this enumeration of its probable influences we do not overrate the immediate advantages,.as we trust we do not the more remote ones, of this action on the part of Congress- One of the most gratifying. cireumstan- ces attending the whole ¢ase remains to be named ; and that is, the extraordinary good temper and kind#ess:with which the great body of the Members of Congress, and every one else, saluted each other when the controversy was over. All re- joiced that it was over, and, as we have already stated,a large majority rejoiced at the particular result. It was, indeed, refreshing to see and to feel that a breeze, we had almost said a gale, of old fash- ioned American feeling pervaded the House, filled as it was, besides its Mem- bers, with anxious crowds of Senators and others.— National Intelligencer. - INTERESTING FROM TEXAS, The Secretary of State received on Thursday the following Telegraphic despatch from the Collector at New Orleans, communicating in. formation of a much more pacific state of things in Texas, than has been rumored and anticipa- ted: “ New Orreans, Sept. 11. “T have had the honor to receive your Tel. egraphic despatch of the 9th instant. A few hours after its receipt, I sent a special express to Governor Bett, of Texas, by steamer, com municating the despatch, as instructed. ‘The | last accounts from ‘Texas announced the early adjouroment of the Legislature. It has proba. bly adjourned before this. Phe Tezas war bill was defeated, and the Legislature passed an act leaving it to the people to accept or reject the bill adjusting the boundary.” | t A QUID FOR ABOLITIONISTS. On the first day of August term of our county court, Peter Beason, a man of color, was at his own instance, sold into perpetual servitude.— Peter was emancipated by the will of Mrs. Far. row, who died some years since, and the laws limits for more than a twelve month. ‘This law Peter saw fit to set at naught, and the con. sequence was, that he was indicted for remain. ing in the State against the form of the statute. On the first day of court, however, Peter pre. sented himself voluntarily and entreated that the penalty of the law should be visited u him, (viz: a sale to the highest bidder,) which was accordingly done, and Peter secured a good home for life. This litle incident furnishes two lessons.— The first is, that evén the intelligent slave at the South has sense endugh to know that bis ‘condition is preferable to the degradation and pauperism to which he would he subjected in a free State. The second is, that the clamor and outcry of the North aboot the evils of slave- ry, result either from ignorance of the nature of the institution or the more devilish spirit of in- eendiarism.— Piedmont Whiz. , ‘The: Only Dissentient.—The Southern Press at.

WHIG LOSSES. Besides the loss of a Governor, and several members in the Legislature, the Whig Party of this State, in the late contest, lost two edit- ors—one of them by loitering bebind, at last strayed from the fuld. It is beleved, that the shadow of a passing cloud frightened him, at iast, and determined him to join a flock of goats which were pasturing in a new pasture away off to the left where there was light as if the suo shone there. The other, very young, aud heing possessed of an impetuous spirit, by run- ning ahead of the flock, calling to his fellows all the whille to follow !—fullow !—follow fast ! —and finding that his sires—calm and steady —loved their old haunts and pasture grounds more than they respected his fanatical euter- prise, became furious, and went off in a rage, as fast as his heels could carry him, and was soon out of sight, in the valley of disgrace.— Both of these sirays are now said to be with the flock to which the first is supposed to have joined bimself. And as they are still in hear. ing distance, their old companions occasionally distinguish their voices. is amusing enough to the younger portion of their late brethrento hear their attempts at bleating and snorting in imi- tation of the long bearded males of their new: associates. Or Several Magazines come to us rather too periodically to secure a notice ; we can tell the editor’s one thing, our columns are not to be filled up with prospectuses—we should like to publish two or three- now, the Standard’s and Hornet’s Nest for instance, but our limits forbid it—had we twenty columns room, we would hardly devote them to some prospectus- es. Nuff ced.—Lincoln Courier. You “ take” then, as regards the “ Hornets’ Nest.” You are at least a kinder democrat than your neighbor, the ‘ Republican”—he kicks him out of the crowd, with many hard words besides. By the way, a facetious democrat in our Town says, Newson must keep himself better “posted” as regards the private arrangements of the party. Newson, he thinks, must have made a mistake as to the day when the party are to close doors and cease to “take in.” If this be so, then we conclude that if the “Nest” had delayed a while longer, the ‘ Courier,” as _well asthe “Standard,” both of whum have taken the wanderer to their bosoms, would then have also given him “jesse.” With this view of the case we are compelled at last to settle down on the conclusion that there is no mate. rial difference between you, as to your being one better or kinder than the other. A word about Magazines: One came to us last week, with a slip in the cover, requesting a “ notice once a month” and an ‘ exchange.” The price of the Magazine was one dollar.— What would you have done? What is the practice of the North Carolina press in such cases? We will have none on such terms: it was retutned forthwith to the editor. It is time, we think, that Southern editors should cease such large concessions to Northern pub. lications. Notice once a month! A dollar for each notice is $12 a year. And give an ex. change! that is two dollars more, and all for »what? One dollar! We must have a better bargain than that or there will be no trade. €# We received a letter from an adjoining county, this week, containing a marriage no. othing more—and we are taxed with the postage. It is no uncommon thing for us to have postage to pay on such letters. We have no doubt it is the result of neglect, nine times out of ten; for it must be apparent to those who send them, that we pay quite as much as they are worth in the way of type setting and publishing, without the additional expense of postage. We have also received a communication trom Wilkes, tlre author of which sees proper to withhold his name. = {t is the common prac- lice among editors to decline the publication of such articles. On several former occasions we gave notice that such was our practice, and begged those who saw fit to send us such fa- vors to remember that it is necessary to give their names. The rule is a good one, and we cannot depart from it now. pp We have received a copy of V. B. Palmer’s Business men’s Almanac, for the year 1851. It isa valuable thing—for business men. O03" Paur S.

A despatch. to the Philadelpbia Inquirer S2y5 + . 4 The reception was truly enthusiastic, and the applause deafening, which contin- yed for some time. Her singing thrilled and delighted every one whose privilege it was to get within the enclosure of Cas- Garden, and expectation, high as it was, satisfied in every respect. It is thought the audience numbered, at the jeast calculation, 5,000 persons. A slight disturbance occurred, owing no doubt to the immense throng which bad assembled; we are pleased to say, It was promptly gelled. An immense crowd collected to- ether outside after her first appearance. Thus passed off one of the most brilliant receptions ever witnessed in the United States. A despatch to the Philadelphia Sun thus speaks of the audience and the appear. ance of Jenny Lind: Such an assemblage as here met my eye, [never saw before, exceptin the same place more than a quarter_of a century since, at the ball given to Lafayette. The whole vast amphitheatre was filled with ladies, gentlemen and boquets. The appearance of Jenny Lind was the signal for a furore of applause, which jasted for some minutes; shout upon shout rent the air, and boquet upon boquet flew through it towards the “ nightingale,” un- ti] the stage looked like “the gardens of Gul in their bloom.” At last silence was effected, and the very first pause at the second bar of “* Casta Diva,” gave me ev- ery assurance that her voice was of sur- ing sweetness. Nothing could exceed the pathos, devo- tion, and tender fervor of her rendering of this delightful druidical prayer. I beard Staffanoni sing it last night, but the Lind’s was the tinkling of silver bells to the ve ry cow bell, in comparison of the sweet voiced Italian. In volume, strength and expression, her vaice catibe compared'to none other I ever heard—it is a constant gushing melody—flowing without ‘an ef- fort or impedimeat—brilliant in the upper register, and managed with an effect that bafiles all description—tike Boscha’s va- riations on the harp—pure and sonorous in the middle notes, and clear, deep, and sustained with the most perfect truth and evenness in the lower scale. We had beard ber voice deseribed as a throat voice, under astonishing management ; but her tones come from her chest, as so- norously as they do from the gigantic Ma- rin. ‘ The following is the prize song, written by Bayard Taylor, which was sung amidst the greatest applause. It is entitled “Greeting to America.” I greet, with a full heart, the Land of the West, Swicas banner of stars o’er a world is unrolled ; Whose empire cehadone aman wipe! And opens to the sunset y : The land of the mountain—the land of the lake, And rivers that roll in magnifieent-tide, , / Where the souls of the mighty from slumber awake, And hallow the soil for whose freedom they died! Thou cradle of Empire! though wide be the foam Thai severs the land of my fathers from thee,- L hear, from thy bosom, the welcome of home— For song has a home in the hearts of the free! And long as thy waters shall gleam in the eun, And long as thy heroes remember their scars, Be the hands of thy ehildren united as one, And Peace shed her light on thy Banner of Stars! At the close of the concert, Mr. Bar- pum announced the following donations which Jenny Lind intended to make: tle Fire Department Fund, $3000 Musical Fund Society, 2000 Home for the friendless, 500 Society for the Relief of Indigent Females, 500 Dramatic Fund Association, 500 Home for Colored aged Persons, 500 Colored Orphan Asylum, 500 Lying in Asylum for Destitute Females, 500 New York Orphan Asylum, 500 Roman Catholic Half-Orphen Asylum, 500 Protestant Half-Orphan Asylum, 500 Old Ladies’ Asylum, 500 Noiseless Carriage Wheels and horse. Shoes. In the Mining Journal of July 22, 1848 we no- ticed the introduction of some improvements in the construction of wheels for carriages, by | Mr. Andrew Smith, the patentee of the wire rope machinery, which were likely to prove o much value to the public as not only adding greatly to comfort in travelling over paved streets, from their combining a much greater de- gree of safety. ‘The principle consists in form. ing the hoop or type of two separate layers of galvanized iron, which are riveted together, and re.galvanized in the mass ; this division of | parts cutting off all vibration when travelling over the roughest stones. Mr. Andrew Smith has also applied the principle to springs, in which each plate is galvanised separately, and never rust. The axle is so made to fit the axle bor with perfect exactness, by ble metal, is itself Jubricating, and not liable to heat ; the whole in conjunciion secures a de- gtes of quietease and safety hitherto unattained. | We have been led again to notice these ingen. | ious improvements, from the fact that the pa- tentee having produced a noiseless carriage found that the horses’ feet made more noise than ever, and seeking for a remedy, has ap- plied the principle to the horses shoe. This is effected in the most simple manner, by making the shoes in two thicknesses of galvanised me- tal, then riveting them together, and re.galvan- ising.

That powerful and eloquent man, whose name is at the head of this @rticle, addressed a crowd of—from fifteen hundred to two thoosand ladies and gentlemen, for two hours, »verpowering the audience with his oratory, and astonishing all present, with bis graphic and thrilling pictures. We regret our inability to spread his entire Address before our readers,—for it abounded in so many passages of real eloquence, beauty, and force, that it would constrain right thinking men, everywhere either to join the Sons, or cease all. opposition to them. claims-of the "Femperance reform, with words nied with the fire of fiving oracles, illustrating bis bold and tearless posi- | tions, by facts and figures which carried con- viction,to every heart—and applying the com. bined force of both the precepts and doctrines of the Temperance reform, to practical life and The sublime truths uttered by him —while they were weighty and eloquent, were not hidden under the lustre of tropes and exu- berant fancy, or the polish of rounded periods.

Mr. White stated in reference to the Church- es, that nineteen twentieths of the Methodist Clergy united with the Sons in the ‘Temper- ance Reform, wherever he went, in Canada or The Missionary Baptists also came to the rescue—the New School Pres- byteriaus gave the cause their aid. pained him to state, that the Episcopal Church, of which he was a member, stood aloof with Some of the Bishops of that Church, actually wrote treaties, and de livered set discourses against the Sons, and charged the Sons of promoting the cause of infidelity. That Church, he was sorry to say, had won for itself, the unenviable sobriquet of How could it be other- wise, when this mystery of iniquity worked among the Clergy?

C., THURSDA | From the Charlotte Journal. . A friend in Union County has furnished us with the following account of the de- structive effect of the late Hurricane in in the lower part of that County, and the upper part of Lancaster District S. C.— Never in the recollection of the “ oldest citizen” has such a Tornado visited this section; indeed the whole’ length and breadth of the nation, has, in some degree, felt its devastating effects: DESTRUCTIVE TORNADO. On Saturday, the 24th ultimo, aboat 5 o’clock P. M., this neighborhood was visi- ted by one of the fiercest Hurricanes | have ever heard of in this country. It commenced somewhere in Lancaster Dis- trict, S. C., in the vicinity of Col. Thomas W. Houey’sjnear the house of Maj. John Nesbet’s, passing thence a due_ north course, unroofing an out-house of Mr. Franklin Nesbet; thence levelling the trees as it went.in the vicinity of Tirzah Charch in Union. County, N. C.; thence by Mr. James Walkup’s, on Waxhaw Creek, unroofing his dwelling house and outhouses, throwing down a stable and crippling a horse; thence through | Col. Wm. Walkup’s plantation, levelling | two outhouses with the ground and doing much injury to the crops; thence direct by Capt. R. S. Colvert’s; where it tore off the roof from his dwelling house, throwing down to the ground both his chimneys, and moving the house some three or four feet, levelling his barn and stables, cribs, smokehouse and all his outhouses, save the kitchen, to the sills, and killing one horse and crippling another; thence thro’ his fields and Mr. Hugh McCommon and James Heath’s fields, destroying crops, fences and timbers wherever it swept in its fory. It tore down an outhouse, form- erly the dwelling house of Mr. Hugh Mc- Common, to the ground sills—and passed through the entire length of his farm, de- stroying a kitchen and gin house on the plantation of Mr. James Heath’s ; thence it passed to the house of Mr. Hugh Me- Common, where it destroyed a negro house, smokéhouse and crushed about half down a.briek kitchen, and brick sleeping room, attached to the dwelling house ; thence it passed to the house of Mr. James Heaths, taking off the top of his gin-house and demolishing his stables, smoke house and negro kitchens, taking in its course a part of Col. Wm. Walkup’s plantation ; thence passed by Mr. Ransom Watson’s, and Wm. B. Cook’s, unroofing the dwell- ing house of the former and the kitchen of the latter; and thence about due north but with greatly diminished force. Its traces may be seen for some thirty miles. But its most desolating blasts swept along between Mr. James Walkup’s, Capt. R.S. Colvert, James Heath’s, and Hugh Me- Common’s, where it looks as if old Eolus opening all his caves and letting loose his fiercest blasts had rushed along himself with his mightiest bosom of destruction. His desolating footsteps will be visible along this path for a century to come.— Large massive oaks which had stood the storms of a hundred winters, were, some completely lifted out of root, some render- ed completely limbless, but almost all were broken off from 4 or 5 to 20 or 30 feet from the ground, and hurled some 30 or 40 yards, and some a quarter of_a mile from their shattered stumps.— Not only the yielding shrubs but these have not heard. ing seriously’ #1 a coorse of:this Hurricane, which sc “ hideops ruin and destraction” to all in- imate: ts, feel that their eseape was ential, was Initacdlous} and they feel thankfal to Hi: whirland and who direéts the storm” for his providentiahnterference.

When the lodgers in the National Hotel began to il- luminate their rooms, last Saturday night, in honor of the salvation of the Union and the South, from the horrors of civil war and disunion, Mr. Fisher is said to have remonstrated with the proprietor or man- ager of the establishment, who, very pro- perly, refused to intervene in the matter. “J will leave your house instantly, if this illumination be not immediately stopped.” “ You are at liberty, sir, to leave it when you please ”—was the quiet reply ; and, I understand, the aforesaid editor was as good as his word. If he and his co-work- ers in treason and iniquity would leave the Union, because of its rejoicing, on this occasion, it would be a happy riddance of a pestiferous club of enemies to the coun- try and its institutions. The correspondent of the Morning Chronicle at Rome shows to what a fearful condition the city of the Cwsars has been brought : “ The population, which was 180,000, is re- duced to 130,000 ; the Inquisition is re-estab- lished ; the Pope and Clergy held in contempt and hatred; thousands killed by the sword or musket during the siege ; widows, orphans, bankrupts, and distress in every shape ; spies and sbirri prowling in search ot their prey (the Liberals ;) diffidence introduced into tamilies all social ties rent assunder ; an emply treasu- stubborn timbers were crushed and de- stroyed like stubble before some raging fire. Indeed the scorched appearance of the trees, shrubs. and grass along its route makes it have more the resemblance of some mighty fire than a whirlwind that has caused so much ruin. Although all have suffered severely, along the track Mr. Robert S. Colvert has suffered much more than any other man. Besides losing all his buildings, which were good and substantial ones. a consid- erable amount of his property, sach as meat. corn, wheat, clothing, and farniture has been greatly injured or totally ruined. It is asserted positively that the horse ' which was killed was blown some two ‘hundred yards--a large trough full of tar was blown some ten yards—every tree in the yard, and there were several, (forest) was broke off, blown up or left entirely limbless—the cabbage heads were twist- ed off and blown out of root—the beets were pulled up—the chickens which were left could not muster a feather to their names, but were as naked as our great parents when they were first placed in the garden of Eden. The rafters and joice were blown some two or three hundred yards and more, and the plank, shingles and palings were blown without doubt to the distance of some two and three miles. The width of the tornado at Mr. Col- vert’s was aboot one hundred yards, it swelled to the width of half a mile at oth- er places and seemed to divide into small- er whirls at others. The first notice any had of its approach was a noise like the hoarse rumbling of something like a dark rolling cloud—then miles per hour. Although every dwell distant thunder—then the appearance of an insensible shock and crushing timbers, flying rafters and reckless rain, stared around. ,, Its speed must have been some- where between sixty and one hundred ing house that was blown down or unroofed contained several persons at the time withia it, and some of the stables contained horses, we ry ; Papal currency at a discount of 13 per cent; | all the medical men and lawyers of any talent driven into exile; commerce annihilated, and | young men of respectable families without em- ployment, and many without food.” MRS. MILLER. We learn from a source fully entitled to cred. it, that Mrs. Miller, whose sudden disappear- ance and supposed suicide at Niagara Falls, elicited so much remark a few months since, has, within a few days, returned to the home of her father, the late Senator Norvell, at De- troit Michigan, who has died during her ab- sence. ‘The stories with which the Press has teemed about her having gone to Europe in company with a gentleman, &c., are wholly unfounded. She returns of her own accord, drawn mainly, we belive, by a strong desire to see her children.— NV. Y. Commercial.

The vacancy in Mr. Conrad’s district in Louisi- | ana isnot yet filled. | Wefiave thus analysed the vote on the passage of | the bill admitting California into the Union, because it has an obvious and very important bearing on another question which is now to be pressed upon Southern at- tention. That question is nothing less than the grave | issue whether the Southern States shall declare them- selves out of the Union, because Congress has declared California in. We feel that it is a work of supereroga- tion to discuss such a topic in this section of the South ; for we do not suppose there are 20 individuals in any | one eounty in Virginia who would advocate a dissolu- | tion of the Union because of the admission of California. | Yet we should fail in our duty to our readers if we did | not refer to the fact, that a party is forming, in Con- | gresa and in some of the Southern States, with the dis- tinct purpose of severing the Confederacy, in preference to acquiescing in the series of measures which have been passed by Congress. Every reader’s attention will be arrested by the un- qualified declaration of Mr. A. G. Brown, of Mississippi that ‘‘ he was for turning the matter over to the people now, and letting them dispose of it, and so help him God. he was for resistance! It would be idle to doubt that it is that gentleman’s intention to begin, immediate- ly, the work of agitation for disunion, and by way of turning the matter over to his constituents, to ply them basily with inflamatory documents designed to prepare, ' their minds for the last alternative of revolution. | But if Mr. Brown has been the first actually to raise _ the war-ery, we regret to be obliged to say, that the | representative from this district has unquestionably en- listed under his banner, and declared himself likewise | positively and without reserve, for disunion. We | pray the constituents of Mr. Seppon to read and weg | well the following sentences, uttered by him in the | House of Representatives on Saturday last, after the | California bill had been passed, and whilst the Utah bill | was pending : ‘“‘ From the dorment majority here, we can expect no redress—not even the simplest justice. We speak to sealed ears, to fixed minds. But beyond them there is | yet a power we may invoke with hope. To the sover- | eignty of the peo if there may still be appeal, and | there we may find a power to resist wrongs and main- | tain rights. the safety of the Southern people are involved in the issues of these measures, and to them with the confi- dence which their history and their character justify, let us refer, as becomes their repretentatives the determi- nation of the extent of the wrong done and ‘ the mode and measure of redress.”’’ And again: “I know not how the gentleman from Georgia can view this matter with equanimity. I confess, with even more of sorrow than anger, that, in my poor judgment, by the consumation of this series of outrages, the slaveholding States will be lowered from their proud position of equality and dignity in this Confederacy, and subjected hereafter to the oppression if not to the scorn, of their past equals, the free States of the North.” This language is incapable of two constructions. — | Mr. Seddon proposes to appeal to the people of the South to resist, by force if the execution of wiil be speodily“aind ‘formally enacted into laws ; and if they»mequiesce inthéee bills, he undertakes to tell them that: willhaveyenok from their high position of will | ave proved themselves without pow- ane Wi ' it fo-resist wrongs and maintain rights, and ut- yin ens ble to both their safety and their honor. It can hare yt fied an inference from these declara- tions;’that. don is now a “ disunionist per se” — They are but-a form of avowing the fact ; and we will not doubt, that he is prepared to come home among us, his constituents, and solemnly advise us to take up arms against the Federal Government. Snch an anomaly as ; being a candidate fur a seat in the Congress of the | Union, which he is determined to break to pieces, we | cannot suspect him, for a moment of seriously consider- | ing. Bat to return to the general policy of the disunion | party, we think it is very manifest that they have two principal reliances, first, upon the refusal of Texas to | accept the Boundary bill, and secondly, upon the fact, that the Legislature of Georgia has pledged the people of that State to elect del in the event of the passage of a law for the admission of California. This general outline of the views of the of the disunionists has been very distinctly put forward by the Southern Press at Washington, a paper estab- | lished for the whole South, but whicli has been exclusively under the influence of the extreme South Carolina party. Upon the passage of the Texas and New Mexico bill, that journal spoke as follows : ‘* We shall have immense canting about peace and harmouy, but there is none. The two Houses of Con- gress have become a mere contrivance for the prosecu- tion of a peditory war by one section upon another, immense expenditure of words, words, words. ; The ion, however, now goes to the people—and first to Texas and Georgia.

Mr. Stuart is one of the most prominent and efficient members of the Whig party in this State. He was on the Harrison and Taylor Whig Electoral tickets of Virginia, and proved himself, in the public discussion be- tween the orators of the (wo parties, one of the ablest, best-informed, and most eloquent of the champions of Whig principles. Whena mem. ber of the Virginia Legislature, he occupied a high station as a statesman and as a debater. He was elected a member of the House of Re. presentatives from the Augusta district in 1841 and soon acquired a national reputation in that body, by his services in effecting an organiza- tion of the House, afier weeks of confusion, and by a uniform ability, tact, eloquence, and dignified and courteous bearing. Mr. Stuart is a gentleman of enlarged views, liberal tone, sound judgement, and an eminently national and conservative spirit. He occupies a high position at the bar of Virginia for legal know!l- edge and persuasive eloquence.

THE TWO EXTREMES.

The following rhapsodies, which we copy from journals not the extremest to be found inthe opposite quarters of the coun- try in which they are respectively printed— | though extreme erough—leave little room for doubt that Congress has in reality, in its recent action, found and followed the path between the two :—Nat.

He had lately spoken plainly aud distinctly to the North, in the House—he bad told them that he should be for resisting any act of the General Government which assumed a ile or ag- gressive attitude towards the p to the people of Georgia. it a sufficient cause for revolution that the Go- vernment should not mete out to us all the jus- tice we may beentitled to.

When the General Government becomes hostile to us in its action, if that day ever comes, then we ought to resist—there was where he put bis | stakes. As to the admission of California, he was opposed to it, just as he had been opposed to the acquisition of the country. He did not want to govern California, and he did not want California to govern him, and he would be wil- ling now to vote twenty millions of dollars to Mexico to take it back, or to get rid of the whole acquisition. Buta majority of Congress voted for the ucquisition, and if a majority shalb now vole to admit California as a Siate they have a clear constitutional right to do it. “ Mr. S. read that clause in the constitution which declares that “new States may be ad- mitted into the Union by Congress.” This power, he said, was clear, and broad. The admission of a State was a matter of discretion for Congress. As a member be sbould exer- cise his discretion by voting against it. But if a majority, in the exercise of @ Fike: discre-. tion, should vote for it, they have @ right to do so, and her admission will be no Wolation of the constitution, and resistance to such a meas ure would be wrong and unjustifiable in his opinion. If a Cenvention should be called in this State upon that even}, he hoped a sufficient amount of wisdom, prudence, and patriotism, would be found in it to save the State from be- ing committed to resistance upon such an issue as that. It would be wrong, and he trusted that in the midst of our difficulties we may nev. er forget to practice the virtue of keeping in the right. “Mr. S. then alluded to the probable collis. ion between ‘Texas and the United States if her boundary was not settled. His opinions on the subject were known. He thought it was the duty of Congress te settle the question. He wanted to see no collision between the State of Texas and the forces of the General Govern. ment. If, however, Congress should not settle wu, and the president, without authority of law, should attempt to bold the country by force a- gainst Texas, it would be the duty of the whole South to give aid to Texas. This he knew would be the signal for civil war, the end where. of no man can see. But let the responsibility rest upon the heads of those who lawlessly be- gin it.” THE SOUTH AND “PROTECTION.” What Nest !—If the following, which ‘we take from the Charleston Mercury of the 2ist ult., is not the true, unadulterated, and real A- merican protective system, then we are no judges.

Gentlemen : You have my sincere thanks for the generous offers and the warm expressions of personal kindness contained in your letter dated Paris, June 28th, which | have just re ceived. I am happy to say to you, however, that there is not the slightest foundation for the statement on account of which your friendly services are proffered. The publication inthe London “Sun,” which was copied into Galignani on the 26tb ult., and alluded to by you, is entirely false in every par- ticular. No personal insult of any kind has ever tak. en place or been offeréd to me, or through me to our country, by General Narvarez. or any other person, at the residence of the Neapoli- tan Minister or elsewhere. On the contrary, in al] the intercourse, personal! or official, which I have had with the Prime Minister of Spain, he has ever been most courteous and respect. ful. You do me no more than justice in ag.’ serting that if such an indignity or any other affront had been given to my nation or myself, I would have been most prompt to ‘reséat it to” the fullest extent. Such a course would have been due not only to myself but to the Govern. ment I represent. “ As soon as this false and offensive ‘publica. tion appeared ia Madrid, it was preeay sod positively contradicted by the Gove per here, “ El Heraldo,” of July 2; a copy of which denial, with its foundation, [ berewith’ enclose to you. I may also be allowed to say,’ in this connexion,. that I have received from General Narvaez a note, in which he denounces the publication referred to as a * malicious fa brication,” and a calumny which injures his character and his principles of propriety, ex- pressing at the same time his warmest regards and respect for myself. Repeating my thanks for the interest you take in my personal welfare, as well as for the devotion you manifest to our common country in a foreign land, I am, with much respect, gen- tlemen, your fellow citizen and ob’t. servant, D.

We know of many instances where. men have refused to purchase work made by their neighbors, and sent to a distant city for the articles they needed, and paid a third more for them, when, bebuld! they had been manufactured and sent away to sell by the very neighbors of whom they refused to purchase. “ Let it be the motto of all—I will encour. age my own neighbors.

CLAY AND THE PACIFICATION, Participating. as we do most warmly in the general joy which pervades the country, that “ Peace, with bealing’ iif its Wings,” has once more visited our National < esictls and allayed the angry spirit which-at owe time threatened such disastrous consequences, we cannot help alluding tothe very norrow-minaded spirit which characterized certain members of Congress, The Bills which have been separately passed by re Bye. embraced in the Compro. mise Bill, and she question. ‘naturally ari why they could «be rejected.as a wack aed passed in detail? -To this question, we fea @ can be —— Answer, to wit: that a spirit of ‘Jealousy deterred cerisip irs of Congress from voting for Mr. Ctay’s Bill... Twice before Mr. Clay had step. ped between the Union and-destruction, and these -Pafriots—heaven. save the mark—bhad no idea that he should be for a third time hail. ed by a grateful people as the saviour of the Nation from ruin.

We believe we are warranted in nine-tenths of the people of { are decidedly in favor of the Union; and although many may believe that the North has imposed on the South, yet they are not willing to “Fly from ills they know of, to ills they know not of” to gratify'a few. disorganizers. They are fnet willing to see these States thrown in- P®- to one chaotic mass, believing that should ‘sueb an event take place it would be the knell to the departed grandeur of this glo- rious Republic. Nothing but civil war, with all its horrors would be the resok, and we should become food for some {or- eign despot or some successful leader.— Nothing can be truer than the sentiment of one of oor national songs, “United we er ad divided we fall.”—Charlotte Jour- nal, MANTEO PAPER MILLS. Our issue to-day, is on paper manotactured at these Mills, on Crabtree, near the City.— The improved appearance of the sheet over ibe miserable stuff in which we were so badly bil- ten in our last Northern purchase, gives us ‘be More pleasure ip calling attention to this fine Paper-making establishment in our own midst. The enterprising Proprietors, Mesers. Jordaa & Co., have been at very great expense in in- troducing the most costly and highly approved apparaius for making a first rate article ; though hardly under way, and subject to all the inconveniences arising from the proper voder- standing and management of vast, complicated steam machinery, yet their paper is of a very superior quality, fully equalling tbe pape! generally sent from the North. When tbey get fully to work, they intend to supply tbeir customers with as good an article, and al 8 cheap rates, as it can be purchased in the U: States. We are the firm advocates of home indus! and Southern enterprise, and we trust the ge tlemanly proprietors of these Mills, will be ¢3- tensively patronized and amply remuneral for the heavy outlays they have made in pur: chasing the fixtures and fitting up their |arg* establistiment.

Their stocks are not -yet quite complete, but will be in a week or two. We mention this for the benefit of our mount ain friends who are in the habit of buying their goods in this place ; and we would further state that the amount of dry goods, groceries, &c., | bought by our merchants this season, will, | without doubt, be as large and well selected as | usual, Cotton goods, which from the high price of cotton, we had supposd would be high. er, are about the same as last Spring. Sugar and Coffee have advanced, but we understand that our merchants were so fortunate (in con- sequence of going on very early) as to buy in their stock before the advance, consequently it | { may be expected that they are prepared to of. | fer greater inducements to Country merchants. and others, than eam be presented elsewhere. | Salisbury, for the last ten or twelve years has | been ihe cheapest market in Western Carolina, and has attained a reputation int” this respect which has made it not only the cheapest, but the greatest trading Town in the West. We feel convinced that its advantages for trade are greater now than ever. We would, therefore, advise country merchants, farmers, pediars and all others, to come to Salisbury if they want to lay in a cheap and well selected assortment of g00ds; and we assure them they will not be disappeinted. % The Deaf Mute will hereafter be issued week. ly instead of semi-monthly as heretofore and is lo be enlarged.

THE LAST DAYS OF THE SESSION. The Intelligencer of the 21st says: Seven Working days only remain of the present Ses. tion of Congress, within which time a large amount of work may be done, if the Members Of the {wo Houses will but hold on to the end. The Session has, it is true, been a most labo. nous one ; and very natural it is that Members thould desire to escape from the heated atmos. Phere of the Legislative Halls to the purer air of the homesteads from which they have been #0 long separated. But, on the other hand, Much of the most important business of the Session is stil! on hand—business involving, some of it, the highest interests of their con. itvents and of many of the States which they represent. So that no Member should aban. don his station in either House before the last Moment of the Session, under any prompting Mach short of that inatinct which make self.

Dear Watchman :—Nothing of particular importance has transpired amung us during the The Whigs, and in fact all true Unionists of the Nortb, hailed with unbounded joy, the dis- persion, by the passage of the Compromise measures, of that gloomy and perilous aspect shadowing our national affairs. To-day week ago a salute of one hundred guns was fired off the Battery in honor of the passage of said measures. Amin Bey, the Turkish Ambassador, who arrived here on last Friday from Constantino. ple, has been the theme of much conversation throughout our eity. His long turban which he wears from morning till night, not even tak. ing it off at his meals, together with all the other peculiarities of the Ottoman costume, to which ‘he strictly adheres, appéars to attract the attention and curiosity of all our eitizens. He is said to have travelled a great dea and is an intelligent and amiable dispositioned man. Since he arrived he has visited most of the public institutions and curiosities of the city, and has expressed his astonishment at the ad- vancement of the arts and sciences among the American people. The worst possible degree of competition is now raging between our Theatres and other places of amusement. But nothing-has yet been found, nor no plan conceived of, to com- pete with Barnum and Jenny Lind.

Though Statesmen may differ, and parties may rage. apd the spirit of faction breed civil commotion, la it till be our pride to display to the age, That we cling to our altars with patriot devotion. Let demagogues strive For the spoils of the Hive, We've a hope, from which Far richer joys we derive, That the Stars of our Union, forever will be, “ Like the billows divided. yet one as the sea.” Let Northern fanatics continue to rove. And deem their mad rabble a holy communion ; Let the chivalrous Southerner, rash as he’s brave, [a his wild indignation make light of the Union. In spite of them all Ever deaf to each call, By our Stars let us stand, To shine with them or fall, Fully trusting, our Union forever must be, “ Like the billows divided, yet one as the sea.” When lately the tocsin pealed forth on the land, And the fiery cross sped o’er the face of the mation, From the North, East and West stepped a patriot band, Apd the South joined the war cry, with wild acclama- tion, Then strove side by side, Through the battle’s ted tide, Men who differed as fur As the Ocean is wide, All linked by the feeling: Our Union will be, “ Like the billows divided, yet one as the Sea.” Btill shoulder to shoulder, like brothers we’ll stand, Together tread proudly our pathway to glory ; In interest united, one chronicler’s hand, Our history will grave on the pages of story! ~ For Webster and Clay* Will sure find a way, Where the bright star of promise, Shall blaze like the day, Muming the motto—* Our Union shall be, Like the billows divided, yet one as the sea.” *Note.

Joux Cameron, Esq., Hillsboro’, N. C. ORIGINAL AND TRUE. Mr. Franklin A , who was a gentleman of good qualities and infinite good humor, used with much pleasantry to relate the following anecdote as having occurred to himself when a young man. A young lady in the neighbor- hood had won his affections, and be had com- menced paying his addresses. During the courtship he sometimes supped with the lady’s family, when he was always regaled with a homely dish of mush and milk, and being of a serious turn was generally invited to say grace over the meal. ‘The supper did not taste amiss asthe family of the fair one was in moderate circumstances, and being himself poor he ad- mired such domestic economy : besides he was | satisfied provided he could gain his fair Dulc2i- bea. ‘ The course of true love,’ it is said, ‘ nev- er did run smooth,’ and Frank chanced to have a rival much richer than himself. One even. ing when he was visiting his charmer, afier the board had been spread with the frugal meal of mush and milk, but before the family had ta- ken their seats at the table, some one spied Frank’s rival riding up. Immediately a change came o’er the substantial meal. As if by mag- ic, the table was cleared of its load, and naught remained to tell the tale but the clean white eloth. In the course of a short time, however, the table was again furnished, not as before, but with the suitable appendages for making tea,and with warm bread, such as is hastily baked, and in common parlance called ‘ short | cake.’ When all was ready, as was the custom, brother A was invited to say grace, who with due solemnity, hands folded and eyes clos. ed, pronounced the following impromptu ben. | diction : ‘The Lord be praised, How I’m amazed To see how things have mended ; Here’s short cake and tea, For supper I see, When mush and milk were intended.” {tis almost unnecessary to add that, after this Frank never returned to woo his lady but he lefi her to the undisturbed posses. sien of his more fortunate rival.

A Passage from the Life of Commodore Talbot, of Rhode Istand; ‘the subject of a new volume of biog- raphy by: Mr. Tocxerman, to be published by J. C. Riker, Fulton St, ATTACK OF A FIRE-SHIP ON THE HUDSON RIVER, 1776. The lovely harbor of this now great metrop- olis then offered a scene of rare and exciting interest. Riding at anchor in the vicinity of Staten Island, appeared the British fleet, with the army under Lord Howe. Every spar and line of cordage in those swarming battle-sbips, was defined to the eye of the distant spectator, against the lucid azure of the sky; and, on quiet nights, reflected to the gaze of the boat. men that haunted the adjacent shore. Their dark, massive hulls, and scowling cannon, wore & portentous aspect, and seemed to cast long and_ prophetic shadows upon the free waters into.which they had ruthlessly intruded—signi- fieant of the-yearg of bitter trial cf which they were ominous harbingers. Upon the heights of Brooklyn, at York Isl- and,.and Paulus, Hook, rose the newly-heaped batteries of the Americans. Never smiled that lovely bay more cheerfully than during those clear days of that eventlul spring. More soli- tary than at present, with its constantly plying steamers and forest of shipping. the position of the belligerents was plainly obvious. The comparative silence that hung over the broad waters, the fast-skimming clouds that, fur a moment, darkened their crystal sheen, and the occasional. furrows raised by sudden breezes that swept across them, stimulated the imagin. ation of lonely enthusiast who, from seme iso- lated point, looked forth aud mused upon the landscape. I: was evident that neither party had, as yet, determined upon its course. ‘The considerate, on both sides, telt the importance of a success- ful blow, atthe. existent juncture ; yet the ac. tual state of .the-colonial defences was but par. tially known to their opponents, and a prema. ture manceuvre might occasion temporary dis- comfiture, ever in that well appointed squadron. On the other hand, it was of the highest mo. ment that the Americans should be assured of the readiness of our troops to cope with their formidable invaders. It was needful that the spell of vague alarm should be, in a measure, broken, which bad been inspired by the pre. sence of those destructive engines, whose thun.- der seemed tc gather new potency from their long quiescence ; whose shrouds and decks bristled with pikes and bayonets, and whose black and heavy sides contrasted vividly with the red hues of the soldiers’ uniforms, grouped thickly at the port-holee and on the taffrails, as if impatient to pour forth upon the land so in- vitingly spread below and around. To one gallant heart, this inaction was especially irk- some. Captain Falbot had obtained the com- mand of a fire-ship, and lay directly before the city, awaiting orders. To secure a more effi- cient position, and the better to disguise his purpose, he took advantage of a light wind, as. cended the Hudson fifteen miles, and anchored just above Fort Washington. For three days, in this romantic spot, he qui- etly awaited an opportune moment for action. On the one side, the banks of the noble river sloped gradually, half-covered with low cedars, whose dark umbrage already wore the freshen- ing tints of spring ; on the other, like natural fortifications, rose the grey and upright rocks of the tefted palisades. Few dwellings were then visible.g-the ripple of the water on the pebbly shore wae audible in the lull of the wind, and the tranquil and sequestered beauty of the seene-gave no-hint of the deadly preparations thea making on board the unwarlike craft that swung so gently at her moorings. The lapse of a few’ after Captain*Talbot had-chos- en his aectiorage; evidenced the sagaeity of his movements. Three of the enemy’s Ships, in order to protect the lefi of their army, in case of need, had shifted their ground from the har- bor to a spot about half way between the mouth of the Hudson and the fire-ship. Orders were therefore soon forwarded to the latter to make a night attack. She was filled with combuati- bles, and besmeared with turpentine. Sever. al traing of powder were laid ; and one of the crew was easily induced to strip himself, and lie down upon deck, with a lighted match, rea- | dy, at a moment’s warning, to ignite the vessel. At twoo’clock in the morning they weighed anchor, and dropped slowly down with tbe tide. The nearest of the three ships was the Asia of | sixty-four guns, whose tall spars and towering hull no sooner loomed upon the eager gaze of Captain Talbot’s hardy band, than they steered directly for her broadside. Unsuspicious of any danger, it was but a moment before her little adversary had flung her grappling irons, | that the Asia fired; and then a scene ensued that baffles description. From the depth, as it were, of profound silence, there echoed the re- verberation of cannon, the cries of the wound- _ed, and the piercing shouts of alarm and re venge. Iu an instant the darkness of a cloudy night gave place toa red flashing glare that revealed the fort, the waters, and the fields, with the distinetness of noonday ; and brought into vivid relief the huge vessels of war now alive with their startled crews, who hastened to the reliet of the Asia ;—some pouring water on the rising flames, others disengaging the fire-ship from her side, and not a few intent at the guns, which hurled an incessant shower of balls at the boat in which the daring originator of this sudden conflagration, was propelled by his brave men towards the negrest shore. Al. though lighted in their aim by a pyramid of fire, of all the shot from the three vessels, but two struck the crowded bark of fugitives. Cap. tain Talbot, however, in bis anxiety to render the experiment certain, had lingered amid the burning timbers of the fire-ship, and was the last to escape, the seaman who applied the match having, according to a previous under- standing, immediately Jumped overboard aad been picked up by his expectant comrades.— When, therefore, the boat reached the Jersey shore in safety, the appearance of the gallant | leader was frightful and his sufferings intense. His skin was blistered from head to foot, his dress almost entirely consumed, and his eye- sight gone, | Sadly, yet with geatle care, his humble eom-. panions in danger hore him throogh the solita- ry woods, in the grey, cold twilight of morning. to a thin but hospitable settlement then called the English Neighborhood ; but on their arri- val, his dreadful condition so alarmed the cbil- dren of the place, that no house would give him shelter. At last a poorvand aged widow opened her cabio door, and allowed the weary and scorched bearers to lay him on the floor, and cover his tortured frame with a blanket.— Fortunately, in the course of that day, two A- merican officers, General Knox and Dr. Eustis, passed the vicinity on business ; and heariog of the case, hastened to visit their countryman, The seasonable medical aid of the latter gen- tleman soon essentially relieved his anguish ; and although for.a considerable period deprived of vision, he was soon able to bear a removal to Hackensack, to await his convalescence.— Meanwhile the Asia had been extricated, with great difficulty, from her perilous situation ; and the bold enterprise that so nearly proved her destruction, created such apprehension and loss of confidence in the enemy, that they slip- ped their eables, fell down the river, and an. chored below the city. The hopes of the Ame- ricans revived in the same proportion as those of the British were discouraged.. So obvious, indeed, was the auspicious influence of this event, that by a resolution of Congress passed on the tenth of the ensuing October, this * spi- rited attempt,” as it was designated, of Captain Talbot, was made the occasion of a vote of thanks, and a special recommendation of that officer to the commander-in-chief, besides pro- moting bia to the rank of Major.—N. Y. Lit- erary World. ONE WAY TO FIGHT A DUEL. A Scotch major, who had been so skilful with his sword as to fight several duels, with re- peated success, but who, on account of bis ex- treme desire for quarrelling, when a little in. intoxicated, for his boasted courage, was de- spised by his brother officers, came one even. ing into a large company. There happened to be present a Yankee, an officer in the same regiment, which was then stationed at Montre- al. his Yankee related among other things the failure of a certain expedition in which he had the misfortune to be wounded. ‘That was because you were a rascally set of cowards, observed the major. Yuu are an infamous liar, says the Yankee. The company stared. The Scotchman looked down upon him with as much contempt as Goliah did upon David, and immediately asked, are you a man to meet me ? Yes, repliedthe Yankee, at any time and where you please, only with this proviso, that we meet without seconds. Well, then, to-morrow morn- ing at five o’clock, at Agreed. ‘The company present endeavored to dissuade the Yankee, telling him the major had every ad. vantage where he had none, agd he had better compromise matters ere he would have cause to repent his rashness, but he still persisted.— The next morning the Yankee repaired to the place somewhat before the appointed hour, armed with a large musket® ‘shortly afier the major made his appearance with his brace of pistols and sword. Before he had advanced far, the Yankee, in an austere tone, bid him stop or he would blow his brains out. The major, struck with amazement at this unex. pected stratagem, reluctantly obeyed, but ex- postulated with him on the injustice of such un- gentlemanlike proceedings; the Yankee was implacable, and determined to punish him for his past conduct and the abuse he bimeelf had received. Lay down your sword and pistols, says he, (still presenting his musket,) and to the right about face, march! ‘The poor major was again uuder the necessity of obeying, and, uttering a volley of curses against his star, pass- ively submitted. ‘The Yankee then quietly took possession of his arms. Tis base, "tis cowardly thus to disarm me of all defence, says the major. No, replied his fellow combatant I will deal honorably with you ; there, take my musket, (throwing it towards him.) and detend your life. He, quite incensed, seized the weap- on with a mixture of exultation and precipitate vengeance, and, rushing forward, demanded his arms, or he would blow him to h—ll.— Blow away and be d—n’d, says the Yankee. Provoked at such unparalleled insolence, ina fit of frenzy he drew the trigger! But, alas, the musket had not been charged! The glory of our braggadocia was so sullied, and his feel. ings so mortally wounded by this indignity that he sold his commision and left the place. AFFECTING SCENE IN THE INDIANA PENITENTIARY. During the recent cholera sickness in this prison, the services of the clergyman were of. ten in requisition, who has given several sketch- es of the last moments of the dying prisoners. Here is one: While I was in prison the Wardeu led me to the bedside of a convict by the name of Shear- er. I was informed that he bad formerly been one or two years a member of the State Leg- islgiure—bad stood very high in the estimation of bis fellow-citizens—and at the time of his conviction was surveyor of his county. He had been tried before the United States Circuit Court, and on mere circumstantial evidence had been convicted of mail robbery and sen- tenced to four year’s imprisonment. The poor man knew me, having heard me preach in the prison. “Sir,” said he. “1 must die.” He was then in a collapsed state—the marks of death were upon his countenance. I sat down by his rude couch and held his pulseless band. Long did I endeavor to point him to the Lamb of God who taketh away the sins of the world.” His spirit grew calm and almost joyous, and he professed that the terrible ‘ sting’ was gone. Now, said I,“ Shearer, you are perhaps near death, have you any word to send to your family 7” ‘Oh! said he, ‘f have a wife and two children—I wish I could see them once more. He paused a moment, unable to goon. Nodoubt his thoughts were at * home, sweet home.” Heralliedand proceeded—*Tell my family that I am innocent of the charge for wirich I suffer.” I saidto him, “ Mr. Shearer, you are now in a few minutes to stand before that Ged who will jadgé you righteously—there tan be nothing gained, but évery thing lost by concealing the truth—do bot utter at this sol- emn moment’ ati untroih:”” He replied, “1 know it all, Lam | }go before my judge, and to you, sit, Ldetlare with my dying breath I am innocent.” ~~ Never had FE such emotions. I have stood hy many a death-bed—by.the rejoicing chris- | tian and the despairing rebel—by the young, | the old—but this to me was most impressive. He had been one of ovr lawemakers, had sent | his influence from the legislative ball] to the ex. | treme borders of the State, had moved respect. ed and beloved; yet there he lay—a felon! | dying a felon’s death! about to have a felon’s burial! and this—all this with a strong proba. bility of innocence! And then all he wished his family to know was, that in death—amid the * swellings of Jordon.” he persisted in de- claring his inwoeence. Was there not a pos- sibility that the men who codemned bim were mistaken 2 Upon them we cast no ceasure.— They doubtless did what they believed to be right ; but, if mistaken, oh, what a fatal mistake! What a commentary upon circumstantial evi- dence ! I am informed that a petition bad been drawn up to the President of the United States for his pardon, on the probable—nay, almost. certain innocence, and that it had more than 1,000 signatures, But it had not been forwarded. Now it is too late! The man of influence—the gentleman—sleeps in a convict’s grave ! From the Wilmington Chronicle. West India Correspondence of the Chronicle. Granp Tours, T.E., 7th July, 1850. Mr. Brown—Dear Sir : By the Schr. John Russell, hence for your city, 1 have time to fur. nish you a few hasty lines. There is wrecked American brig on “ Am- bergrise Key,” 22 miles distant from this port, catled the “ Betsey,” of Pittston, on the Ken. nebeck river, Maine. Her mast were cut a- way when she was found. She appears to have been abandoned at sea; or that all hands on board have perished. ‘The cargo consists of bread, pork, lard, hams, butter, fish, soap, tongues, lumber, staves, shooks, chairs, &c.— Some of the barrels were marked “ W. P.,” and the chairs * W.” ‘The cargo. to all ap- pearances, was ladon at Boston. It was all saved in a damaged state and brought here yes- terday, and sold at public auction for the ben. efit of those whom it may concern. ‘The stern of the vessel was stove in when found, and she high and dry on the reef, half full of water. The residents of these islands have been thrown into a state of temporary excitement, in consequence of a large amount of treasure hav. ing been supposed to be found in Great Sand Key, (6 miles from this,) and taken away a tew days since by a little schooner from St. Johns, N. B. There is a great deal of proba. bility about it; and the amount of the money that was dug up, is said to be $70,000 sterling, Since the supposed finding of the above sum. a large number of the inhabitants of these isl. adds have been busy in digging for like treas- ure on several of the little keys or islands near this, but as far as [ have understood, none has been found by them; yet there is, no doubt, as this island was once the habitation of pirates and privateers, money buried on, or near it that will, some day, be brought to light, as the £70,.- 000 have been. Salt is selling for from 9 to 10 cts. per bush- el at this place ; is abundant and of excellent quality.

Amo: Bex, Commiss- ioner of his Imperial Majesty the Soaltan of the Ottoman Empire, was presented to: the Presipent by the Secretary or Strate. All the heads of Depatiments and several other distinguished persons were present. On being introduced to the President, Amin Bey made an address in the Turk. | ish language, of which the following is a | translation : ] have the honor to be appointed by.the Government of his Imperial Majesty the Sultan of the Ottoman Empire to visit the United States of America, with the view of strengthening those relations of peace, and friendship which so bappily have al- ways existed between the two countries. ] have it much at heart to execute the wishes of my Sovereign in an acceptable manner; and, though the two countries are so far separated, commerce @nd the increasing facilities of travel cannot fail to bring them nearer to each other.— With their extension, more intimate rela- tions will hereafter naturally atise be- tween the Ottoman Empire and the Great Repoblic of the New World. It has oceasioned {lis Imperial Majes- ty mueh pleasure to know that he has won the approbation of this Government, and that of the American People, by the course which he recently pursued in fa- vor of the unfortanate Hungarians, whose position had claims on those feelings of humanity and berevolence which at all times occupy the heart of His Majesty. I am instructed by my Government to visit the institutions of public and private industry of this country, and to inform my- self of the system of education so success- fully followed in the United States, for the purpose of making a report of the same. The hospitable and kind attentions which I have received from the American people, since my arrival in the New World, I regard as so many evidences of good will and respect towards my rever- end Sovereign, whose unworthy servant I am ; and | beg leave to take the present opportanity of expressing to you, as the Chief Magistrate of this truly great coun- try; how deeply grateful I am for them. To these observations the PresipEeNt made the following reply : Sir: Your arrival in this country is not unexpected. The Representative of this Government at Constantinople informed us, some months ago, of the purpose of the Sublime Vorte. to send a public agent to this country. The government of the United States, received this information, with pleasure. and I am happy to-day to realize the anticipation in which we have indulged. The high consideration due to your Sovereign and his Government, and what we learn of your own intelligence and character, conspire to make you a wel- come visiter. The occasion is striking as well as pleasing. From the Bosphorus you come, on an errand of peace and friendly inqui- ry, to the western shores of the “Atlantic.

Mr. Commissioner, the pleas- ure] have in velonuiee ou hither, and re assure you of the ition of ‘thi Government to make your mission agree able to yourself and satisfactory to your intelligent Sovereign, the Saltan obthe Ottoman Empire. The address of Amio Bey was interpre- ted to the President by Mr. Brown, drag- oman of the American Legation at Con stantinople, who in like manner interpre- ted the reply of the President to the Com- missioner, who listened to it with pro- found attention, and from time to time e- need the deep impression it made upon im. eite-s Pe bes The following is an extract of a dispatch from Mr. Marsh, the American Minister, Resident at Constantinople, dated, 20th May, 1850: “ Believing that a better acquaintance on the part of the Turkish -Government with the power and resources of the Amer- ican Union, and with the mechanical skill of her citizens, would be one of the migat effectual means of extending the commer- cial intercourse between the two nations, of creating a demand in the Levant for the products of American industry, and of establishing political relations. with Turkey, which might be of the most_es- sential service to us, 1 have exerted my- self to indage.the Porte to send one or more public agents to the United States, with a view of informing itself, through reliable sources, upon the points to. which I have alluded.” “ Amin Bey, although specially delega- ted by the Cupudan Pacha, is-treated in the note by which his appointment is com- municated to the Legation as.a pablic agent of the Sublime: Porte, and.may, im- mediately or hereafter, be inyested, witl diplomatic rank; but the principal duty with which he is at present charged -is the examination of our Navy yards, docks, ships of war, and other establishments connected with our military marine. I suppose, however, that he is also instrue- ted to reporton our national resources, our public works, and the condition of our productive industry ; and I trust that evs ery facility in the power of Government, may be afforded him for thoroughly infor- ming himself upon these important bran- | ches of inquiry.” Judge Berrien—A Strange Development. The New York Express says: “ In reading the debates in the Senate upon the fugitive slave Bill, we find the following remarks of Mr. Ber- rien of Ga., and Mr. Pratt of Maryland.

Herein the Standard gives indubitable evidence, that its allegiance to the South is a matter of minor consideration, when it comes in con- flict with that baser and more slavish al- leglatice which binds it to the wheels of that Juggernaut of Party ! The edict has gone forth, by the lead. | ers, that an attempt is to be made. next | winter, to instruct our senators to resign | their respective seatsin the Senate. This | is slippery ground for North Carolina Lo- co focoism to venture upon. Atthe peri- od of the Exspunging Kesolutions, tbat | party, aenerally: claimed to be the exclu- sive champions of the doctrine of Instruc- tions, and in Virginia, Mr. Leigh was) driven from the Senate by their abuse of it, and in this State, Judge Mangum was sacrificed by the same means, and the same false pretences. But when the tide of party turned, and those active sticklers for instruction were placed in a condition to signatize their devotion to principle, by practising in person, what theretofore they were so zealous in enforcing from - others, — they pertinaciously sustained Messrs. Brown and Strange for their evi- dent reluctance to resign their seats, after the most decisive indications of popular will. Loco focoism should remember this. The Standard, evidently by way of giving the cue, holds the following lan- guage in its last issue : » Mr. Badger was elected to the Senate of the United States by the people of this State, through their Legislature ; and he was commissioned and sent to that body to reflect the wishes and carry out the will of his constituents. The office of Senator does not belong to Aim, but to the people of the State. He is the agent, and they ate the principals. Much is necessarily Jeft to his discretion, and he is undoubt- edly entitled to his“ own conscience ” and his “ own understanding ;” but when the people * command” him, his implied right te act according to his own discretion 4 sy thus vent their spleetiat the distin- guished objects of their long cherished party malignity!

The Washington Southern Press has received, by telegraph, from Macon, Geo. a full copy of the proclamation issued by Gov. Towns, calling a convention of the people of the State on account of the ad- mission of California as a State, from which we extract the following : George W. Towns, Governor of said State, to the electors thereof greeting :— Having been officially informed that the Congress of the United States has admit- ted California into the Union of the States of the Confederacy upon equal terms with the original States—a duty devolves up- on me, in the performance of which | shall tresspass upon the public but briefly. An onfeigned deference for public opin- ion, and the profound regard | entertain for the wisdom, firmness and patriotism, of my fellow citizens of Georgia, will not justify me, in a paper of this character, in repeating my known and unchanged opin- ions, as to the duty of the South in repell- ing free soil encroachment, and arresting, by all proper means, usurpation by Con- gress. Whatever is compatible with the honor and obligations of tht people of this State to the country, its laws and its.in- stitutions, | doubt not will receive their warm support, in an hour of danger, when your institutions are in jeopardy—your feglings wantonly outraged—your social honor deeply wounded—and the federal constitution violated by.a series of aggres- sive measures—all tending to the consum- ceases, and he must obey the command or save, his “ consciencc” and vindicate his | “understanding by resigning his seat.—— Otherwise the man, and not the State will he represented in the Senate: and the whole design of representation in a re- publican government, so far ag he is con- cerned, would be frustrated and defeated. Is not this so?” “ Mr. Badger,“ it is readily granted, “ was commissioned and sent to the Sen- ate, to reflect the wishes and carry out the will of bis constituents.” The view which we take of the doctrine of instruc- tions—for, we freely admit, we do not al- together concur with Mr. B. in his views of this matter—is, that as Senators, we act not in our own, but ina delegated capacity—that we are nothing more than the mirror to reflect the wil! of the Peo. ple who delegated us, and when their de- liberate wishes are fully and fuirly ascer- tained, it is our duty to conform to them. This is the doctrine of Instructions as held generally. by all parties. Of course, the Representative may and should look be- hind the mere enrolled instructions of the Legislature, to see what may be the will, the sentiments of that fountain source of his authority—the People. In times of gteat local excitement, the Legislature may be composed of men elected with no reference to their views of National poli- cy. Jn sicha case, will it be pretended that the Legislature is a competent triba- nal to pasa jndgment, for the people, upon the condact of Senators, sent to represent the interests of the State as a part of the National Union,? So, accidental and temporary party triumph, the oceasion is seized upon to advance some favorite par- ty dogma or pull down some unpopular party opponent. Will it be argued here, that the representative should not look be- hind the warped judgment of the Legisla- ture to see whether it is justified or sus- tained by public sentiment? Such a doce- trite: would be entirely subversive of that Legislative independence, which should exist to a sufficient extent, at all events, to secure the Representative. against the intrigues of politicians and the wiles of waprincipled party prejudice. Such a doctrine, in the nineteenth century, need only he enumerated, to be repudiated and condemned. Granted, then, that our senators, are the agents, and the People are the Princi- lg. That brimys us to the consideration: {the accidental majority in the ensuing Legislature should dare attempt to in- stract our Senators to resign their trusts, on account of their recent support of the great measures of Pacification, will that tal majority be representing the will of their constituents? en masse, in- siruet them to resign their places and give pm to more faithful servants and wor- . 1, We bave already shown ane rexious article, that the Loco fuco.

Thirteen refased to make issue opoo them, during the: fast cainpaign. ‘Many, and some of the most prominent members, of the eon- Sention, were actually committed ta favor these meusures. And we areas firmly Pd to day, as weare that the Peo- th Carolina love the Umtos, that they approve the recent votes of our Sen. giors, and that too, without distinction of mation of one object—the abolition of slavery. In view, therefore. of the atrocious Free- Soil sentiment and policy, not merely of 'the non-slave-bolding States, but of the government—of the imminent peril, to which the institution of slavery is reduced by the act of Congress, admitting the State of California into the Union, with a Constitution containing the principal of ithe Wilmot Proviso, and in defianee of our warning and earnest remonstrance.— In view of the deplorable fact that some | diversity of opinion exists in some of the | Southern States, as to the proper mode of redressing the wrongs and avoiding the | dangers which all must see and feel, let me fellow citizens, earnestly entreat you to cultivate, for each other a deep and a- _biding sentiment of fraternal regard and confidence, and approach the task, from which there is no escape, of deciding up- on your duty to Georgia and the country, with a “firm step, but not without calm, deliberate and patient investigation, con- sulting neither fears or dangers on the one‘ fiand, nor permitting yourselves, from | exasperated feelings of wrong on the otb- ‘er, to be rashly urged to extreme meas- ‘ures, which have not received the full sanc- ‘tion of your jadgment. Then I shall not dispair of seeing the whole State, as one |Man, proposing nothing beyond what the -emergency of the case may demand, or ‘failing to perform whatever patriotism, , honor and right may require at your bands. | [The Proclamation then details the e- | vents contemplated by the Legislatare, in 'their resolutions, directing him to call a "convention, one of which was the admiss- | ion of California, and accordingly orders an election to be held throughout the State on the 15th of November, to elect delegates to the convention to assemble at the capital of the State, on the 10th of | December next. ] \ From the Albany State Journal. HENRY CLAY. | On the 5th day of February, 1850, this | distinguished statesman-.broke ground for the adjastment of the slavery difficulties, by the introduction of a series of resolu- tions, which he sustained on that and the following day, by a most powerful and Patriotic speech The tones of his elo- quence reverberated the chords of the American heart, and produced a marked change in publie sentiment. These resolotions asserted the obliga- tion to admit California—that there was no necessity for the exclusion of slavery from the new territories by Congressional enactments, and that territorial govern- ments ought to be established therein— the necessity of defining. and the propriety of. fixing the boundary between Texas and New Mexico, as marked out in one of those resolutlons—that jt was inexpedient to abolish slavery in the Destrict of Co- laumbia—that it was expedient to prohibit the slave trade there—and that more ef. feetaal provision was required for the ex- tradition of fugitive slaves—coupled with a proposition to assume a portion of the public debt of Texas ia consideration of her revenue. : A day of two later, he declared that it was not his purpose to combine all these measures in one bdill,—subsequently he expressed his conviction that they could failure. He would not have so failed. but for the determined opposition of free soil- ers and nullifiers to any pacification, and their desire to continue the agitation that was unsettling the foundations of the pil- lars of the Constifution. In the end he has achieved a substan. tial victory ; he pointed out the means of saving the Union, and they had subse- quently to be adopted in one form or an- other. His wisdom and patriotism tri- umphed, and Henry Clay is to-day enti- tled to the appellation of the Greet Pacif:- icator. THE PUBLIC LANDS. We again avail ourselves of this occasion to invoke the attention of the South to this meth. od of participating in the advantages of the Union. The bill, granting lands for the con. struction of railroads, is an * entering wedge ” —one which will rive the national domain in- to vast fragments to be employed in the con- struction of internal improvements in the new States. It has been stated that the public lands asked for at the present session alone for this purpose amount to fifiy millions of acres—not one acre of which is asked for by the old States! The inevitable destiny of the public domain is a rap- id and indiscriminate distribution. In addition to the bills referred to, the Bouaty Land Bill, the swamp Drainage bill, applications for Schools, Insane Asylums, will all have to be satisfied. All resort to this common property. Like some vast wreck thal has drifted ashore, the public domain is plundered by all that can lift a hand. It cannot last long, before gradua- lion and gratuitous grants to settlers will absorb it entirely. In the opinion of a western Senator, every thing portends a partial distribution of the lands: “ We have a large amount of public lands—in my judgment, of little or no value to the nation—scarcely, | have no doubt, defray- ing its own expenses. If they are not to be appropriated by awarding benefits tu those who have served the country in a military point of view, they are to be appropriated, as we see from proofs of the policy of the country, for the construction of works of public improvement, and partial in their character—to be appropri- ated to works of improvement in those States where the lands are situated.” We again ask the Southern Siates, will they still refuse to accept any part of this birthright, thus about to be torn from them forever ; or will they, with the policy of the Virginia and South Carolina schools of Democracy, resist any at- tempt to secure for themselves a portion of their own 1— Republic. MR. FILLMORE. The editor of the Detroit Daily Advertiser, writes the following from Washington, in re- gard to Mr. Fillmore : “Iu conversing to-day with a democratic member of Congress, he remarked—Mr. Fill- more deserves all praise fur his wisdom, mod- eration and firmness; and,” said he, * the de- velopement of these qualities on bis part, cre- ales no surprise in those who have known him long. Many years ago,” be remarked, “ Mr. McKay, formerly a member of Congress from North Carolina, pointing to Mr. Fillmore, said to me—' There, sir, is a strong man, and what is still better, a thoroughly honest one.’” This from a@ political opponent, of Mr. McKay’s standing and experience, was oo small praise. The triumphant justification of the remark, vin- dicated befure the eyes of the world, in the highest position which the world knows, is bet. ter than praise. ‘Ibe highest sentiment of re- spect and good feeling prevails in the Whig delegation in the House and Senate, towards the Cabinet, collectively and individually, and a full determination to strengthen the hands of the Administration, and make it honorable, use- ful and salutary.” Imprudent.—Men who suffer their feelings to assume the upper hand of their judgment are apt todo very indiscreet things: Some southern newspapers, following the example of the “Southern Press” at Washington city, have copied large portions of the Address io the Slaves of the South adopted by the late mongrel Convention of abolitionists, negroes, &c. held at Cazenovia, N. Y. ‘This appears to us altogether imprudent. What more could these madmen ask, than to have their Address published by Southern papers? The thing is copied for the purpose, it is true, of showing up and denouncing it ; but at the same time its doctrines and recommendations are constantly liable to be made the ‘subject of conversation in company where it were better let alone.— By such publications we but give potency to the purposes _of those fanatics in places where they could otherwise never be heard, or even heard of.—Greensborough Patriot. _ Some Englishmen in New York city, ure endeavoring to raise a sufficient sum of money to purchase a complimen- tary testimonial, which they design pre- senting to the brewers of Messrs.

Mr. Dawson moved an ‘item, paying $2,000 mileage to the Senators from New Mexico. A debate followed, in which Mr. Foote op- posed it, and pronounced the interference ot the late administration in New Mexican affairs as infamous, Mr. Downs, Mr. Ewing and others defended the measure, showing that New Mexico stood on the same ground with California. Mr. Hale said there was one difference.— California got in and New Mesico did not. ‘The detiate was continued by Mr. Under. wood, Mr. Houston, Mr. Gwyn and Mr. Butler. The amendment was rejected—yeas 23, nays 24.

The subject was further discussed, after which the Senate adjourned. In the House, the consideration of the Naval Appropriation Bill was resumed in Committee of the Whole; and after various amendments had been offered to it, (some of which were adopted and others rejected,) the bill at four o’clock, was reported to the House ; and the amendment abolishing flogging in the Navy was adopted, by a vote of 131 ayes to 29 nays.

The question was taken on the amendment as amended, and it was rejected. Mr. Burt proposed an amendment to pay the musicians of the 2d Regimeat of the United States troops, $400 for the musical instruments which they lost in Mexico.

GOY. BELL’S VETO. Upon this sutyect the Richmond Whig makes the subjoined appropriate remarks, which must strike every man of candor, at once that the veto of Gov. Bell, of Texas, of the Bill io question, as a highhanded act of usurpation, and well calculated to alarm all patriotic men, if not ‘rebuked by the sovereign people of Texas: - “The important. news from Texas, which we published on yesterday, suggests mailer for very serious reflection. We confess thal we cannot clearly understand the state of things existing there at present. Let us briefly re capitulate the facts. When the Texas Bound: ary Bill became a Jaw, the news of ils pat sage reached the State when the Legislature was in session. That body had been convea- ed by the Governor to consider the propriety of enforcing the claim of Texas against New Mexico,—if necessary,—by an appeal to arms. The Federal Government had very properly re sisted so absurd a pretension, and from the in- dications afforded by public sentiment, (bert was every reason to apprehend a collision be tween ite authority and that of ‘Texas. At this juncture, the passage of the Boundary Bill and its support by the Senators and Represest® tives of the State, allayed anxiety in the publi mind, and satisfied the reflecting and palriols of all sections, that Texas would cordially quiesce in its adoption. This conviction ™# still further strengthened by the course of tbe That body seemed decidedly # approve this settlement of the dispute—tb entertaining some doubt of its jurisdiction oe the subject, it could not give its approval the A bill was, howereh passed by a large majority in both Houses submit it tolfhe people ; and the universal id pression seemed to be, that ‘no danger was "@ be dreaded from their action. Gov. Bell bs seen fit, however, to velo this bill, and ils frien6 were unable to overrule his negative by cons” tutional majorities in both Houses.

Under these circumstances, we think we can scarcely fail to gratify our readers of the great agricultural | States, by laying before them the arguments by which the South is being invoked to aid in the adoption of measures so destructive of their interests. ‘They are, as we learn, as follows : “ Canada is dissatisfied.

Let them, we say, as all good citizens should do, cease to trouble the public mind any longer upon this question, by publishing such stuff. Let them devote their time and talents to the advocacy of measures at home, which alone can make the people of the South prosperous and contented. This is the duty of every man, and when they fail to do this, they become enemics of those very measures and ends, which they, in their fanatical zeal, profess to be striving to attain. Now that Congress has done all that can be done, we trust that we shall hear no more on this subject. Let us for the future see evidence of the practice of the ductrines which they put forth for others to be guided by, before they raise their voices in condemnation of the Whigs oa this score.

Here is my marriage certificate, which you can peruse at your leisure. Now detain me, sir, one instant, at your peril.’ - The warden was dumfounded, and no won. der. Poor Philan would have spoken, but nei- ther party would let him. ‘The lawyer below was eonsulted. The result was evident. In half an hour Jady C. was free, and Pat Philan, her legitimate husband, a prisoner for debt to the amount of forty thousand pounds. _ * Well, sir, for some time Pat thought he was in a dream, and the ereditors thought they were still worse. The following day they held a meeting, and finding they had been tricked, ewore they’d detain poor Pat ferever. But, as they wel] knew he had nothing, and wouldn't feel much shame in going through the insolv- ent court, they made the best of their bargain, and let him ovt. Well must know, about a week after this, Paddy Philan was sitting by his tittle fire, and thinking over the woudetful things he had seen, when as sure as death, the post-man brought bim a letter, the first he bad ever re. ceived, which he took over to-@ friend of bis, one Ryan, a fruit seller, because you see, he was no great hand at reading or writing, to de. cipher it fur Lim. - It ran thus; s You can detain | storm was brewing against the party, With who had collected outside the entrance gates. Indeed it is scarcely possible, we are assured, to convey an accurate idea of the horrible noise that burst from the populace when the affrighted General ma@e his appearance. Le was allowed to reach about the middle of the street, when some of*the carters, who were in waiting with-their heavy whips, cried out “Ohy this is the fellow that flogged the women, is it?” and instantly commenced lashing him with all their might. The Marshall then quickened his speed, but the mob which had considerably increas- ed by the arrival of a number of coalhea- vers from Bankside, crowded around him 4 ing and shoving him. and crying. “ He is a murderer—give it to him. Dewn with the Austrian butcher. Shove him into the river.” With some difficulty he con- trived to reach the corner of Bankside, when he was knocked down, and an at- it is thought for the purpose of throwing His nephew and interpreter, however, managed to keep hold of him, and got him upon his legs.— He then made another effort to get away between his attendants. The mob, how- ever, followed him up, and lashed, pelted, and booted him in the most furious style. He was flogged with the whips, struck o- ver the back with the brooms beaten with the coal heavers “fan tail” hats, while an unremitting shower of filth was levelled at him. Several gentlemen who witness- ed the attack made an attempt to protect the Marshall, who appeared to be fast sinking from exhaustion and ill usage while his interpreter implored the mob not to kill him. Two young men in the employ of Mr. Winter the Ironmonger, met the men, and endeavored to restrain them. “He isa murderer,” was the reply. “ We wont have him here, the Austrian butcher ; we'll teach him to flog women.” Another rush was made at him; his hat was thrown high into the air, amid loud derisive shouts, and his clothes nearly torn off his back. His moustache and sent for a policeman, who arrived just at the moment the threats were being made —and it being dangerous to act alone, he ran to the police station for further aid. A strong body of the force soon arrived, and their appearanc« at once quelled the fury of the populace. The Inspector, on entering the house, found the General, seated on the edge of a bed in a pitiable condition. He was much exhausted, and in bis own language complained severely of the pain he endured from the injuries inflicted upon him. Having partaken of some slight refresh- ment, the inspector assured him, through the interpreter, that he might consider himself perfectly safe under bis care, as he had a body of officers down below to protect him. It was sometime, however, ere he could be induced to believe that he was free from further violence. His torn garments having been temporarily repaired by the interpreter, and Mr. Ben- feild having lent him a hat, he ventured to make for the Thames Police galley that was@ying at the foot of the stairs fronting the George. Getting safely in the boat, it was rowed to Waterloo Bridge. A cab was then procured, and the exhausted Marshal was conveyed to Morley’s Hotel Charing Cross. It should be mentioned, however. that when he took his departure from Bankside, he was greeted with yells, and his hat was thrown into the river af- ter him. During the remainder of that day the the Sere was confined to his bed at his hotel: On Friday he was still suffer- ing from the injuries he had sustained.— He was visited by several of the Austrian nobles and other residentain London ; and in order to avoid a recurrence of a similar display of feeling, arrangements were made for his quitting England, and in the course of Friday night, we are informed he took his leave. —— Electors in Great Britain.—A parliamenta- ry paper has been printed, which shows the number of parliamentary electors in Great Britain and Ireland, according to the registra- tion of 1818, 1849 and 1850. In 1648-49 tbe total number was 1,041,203, whilst in 1840— 50 the number was 1,050,187 in the United Kingdom. In England, on the present regis. tration, the number of voters is 839,797, in Wales 48,019, and in Scotland 20,205—mak- ing the total of Great Britain 978,121; and in Ireland 72,066—making the total in the counties, cities and boroughs, 1,050,187. The liberality of the English system is illus. trated by these statistics. With a population of 28,000,000 the three islands contain 1,050,- 137 entitled to the right of suffrage, while the United States, with a white population of 18,- 000,000, has 3,000,000 of electors. Aecord- ing to the proportion in this country, Great Bri- tain and Ireland ought to have nearly 5,000,- 000 of voters. ‘They have actually about one- fifth of that number, yet the English boast of being the freest people on earth. We pity the rest. : (>The “ Day Book’” one ol the raciest papers published in New York, thinks that the great commotion excited by Jenny beard were pulled in the most violent manner, and one man, who had iu his the Marshall's beard, and’ made a strong effort to cut it off. By this time the party had reached the George public house, in Bankside. near Southwark bridge, kept by Mr. Benfeild, and in the confusion, the Marshall succeeded in getting from the mob, and running into the George.

By this time the father had waked from his nap, in no very pleasant mood it seemed, for, hearing the child’s voice, he immediately made a dive at him, shook him, and boxed his ears violently. “ There now, stop crying and be quiet.” But that was utterly out of the question. He could not do it at once, and the mother joined ber voice to say in the same impatient, angry way, “ Hush, hush, I tell you, or you'll get it again.” As soon as possible the child stopped the loud voice, and cowed down in his seat with a sulky look, and a disturbed expression on his face. The next time I looked he had fallen asleep, much to my satisfaction, and his sleep lasted till we were near our journey’s end. Very much of this kind of treatment of chil. drien js there in the world, and if there were not a kind Providence watching over these lit- tle ones to overrule the bad influences of early training, still smaller than it is would be the proportion of good men and women. How many parents there are who seem to forget the tremendous responsibility that rests upon them, the great work that God gave them todo when he put little children in their arms, and who act, instead, as if they sought only how to rear and educate them with the least trouble to themselves. They seem to begrudge the time it takes, as if their wbole time were too much to give to the training of immortal souls.

These returns, however, do not form a correct guide or index to the general increase of tion throughout the country—many of the agricultural districts having remained about stationary, and others showing bat a small increase. The agricultural regions, which will exhibit the greatest increase, arg, of course, thowe in the valley af the Mississippi, and too few re- turns of entire counties have as yet come in to enable us to form any calculation of the general ratio of increase. With regard to the poputation located in cities, villages and compact towns, to which our attention ~~ i- rected—the total population in such cities, towns, &c., in 1840, was as follows: In cities and towns having above 10,000 pop., 1,329,937 Do do _ between 2,000 and 10,000, 991,590 Total town population, 2,321,527 —being nearly one-seventh of the total population of the Union. From the returns received of the census of 1850, the indications are, that the population of the cities, large towns, and villages, will exceed four millions. New York Express. Dr. Hassall, in a recent lecture on coffee mentions some startling facts in relation to tbat article. Burnt Sugar be says is largely used to deepen the color, and then refers to the fact tbat the rich brown hue of Coffee is not peculiar to a decoction of that berry, but al] vegeteble sub- stances when charred yield somewhat similar color. He also details the results of 54 exam- nations on Coffee of all prices. From these it | appears, that the whole of the Coffees, with two exceptions only, were adulterated ; that Chicory berry was present in 31 instances, x. ment—how much has it to answer for? Do not be surprised to see the temper of #éur child uncontrolled as he grows older. You have been teaching him day by day, from his infan- cy, by your own impatience, and hasty yielding to passion, when waywardness and careless ness have irritated you. Calmly, and quietly and lovingly, must a child be governed. If se- vere punishment must be inflicted. if in no oth. er way can obedienca be gained, wait until ev- ery spark of angry feeling has lefi you, and let him see that you go about it solemnly and sadly. - This teaching chil meaning threats ; what a store of trouble parent laying up for himself who does it! in the smallest degree, not in the youngest child, ought it to be practiced. The child will remember it; he will look back a few years hence ; he will feel that it was false ; and he may say, if falsehood is justifiable in one case it is in another; if in my mother, in me. Love and tenderness go very far inthe man- agement of children ; nota foolish indulgence that pampers the appetite and yields weakly to every foolish desire, but the quiet love that wraps the arms about the child, and lays cheek to cheek, and speaks so softly that the little one dren falsehood, too, by un- isa it’; feels that he cannot slight it or disobey it.

Reid for office provided there iea chance of electing him. We trust the patriotic men of North Carolina, both Whigs and Democrats, will remember who manifested the grea’est satisfaction at the elec- tion of David S. Reid, “the man stood by James M. Root, Joshua R. Giddings, Hanni- bal, Hamlin, David Wilmot, and others, in vo- ting for the exclusion of slavery of Oregon.” — It must be humiliating indeed to those patriot. ic, well-meaning Democrats who voted for Mr. Reid, to hear his election claimed, and with so much plausibility, too, as triumph of Free Soil Abolitionism over slavery, or, in other words the rights of the south; and we trust the Whig press of North Carulina will make the humilia. ting fact ring in their ears, that they may take warning and never again be guilty of such folly, euch a culpable dereliction of duty as to vote for a man who sympathises with those who would abolish slavery or dissolve the union. But we do not look to the Democrats to wipe out this foul stain upon the hitherto unblem. ished fame of the mother of Tennessee. We must look to that patriotic party that has al. ways, until it unfortunately split upon local questions, resisted the temptations and en. croachments of modern Democracy. They must replace North Carolina in the proud posi- tion she has heretofore occupied. Those Whigs who so far forgot the duty they owed to their country and their party, to assist in bringing up- on North Carolina the humiliation that sow hangs over her like an incubus, should, in the kindnest manner, be made to feel the full force of the , sibility that rests upon them.— They have, under the influence of local preju. dices, aided in bringing disgrace upogstheir stale, and as true men, they should embrace the earliest opportunity te redeem not only their state, but their own ebaracter. Let them, then, come back to the old lines ia which they have stood shoulder to shoulder with the truest and noblest Whigs in the union, in so many bard. fought contests. The official returns of the recent election show that Reid’s majority over Manly is 2,774. Manly only fell 289 behind his vote of 1848, while Reid gained 3,358 over his vote of that year. These facts, taken in connection with the heavy losses sustained by Manly in strong Whig counties, show that North Carolina is still a Waic Strate. Let the Whigs now go to work and marebal their forces to give the enemy battle again. Let every man be at his post when the decisive blow is to be given, and let each one do his duty when the signal is given, that noble flag which now trails in the dust will throw out its graceful folds over a more brilliantly victorious party than has ever made the welkin ring beneath a North Caro. lina sky. PRESENTMENT. The Grand Jory of Harriscounty, in the discharge of those duties which require them to take notice of nuisances, have made a presentment from which we quote as follows : “ We decidedly disapprobate the course pursued by our last Legislature, in ma- king provisions for calling a State Con- vention, in the event California is admit- ted into the Union as a State. We do not believe such an act on the part of Congress to he sufficient ground to dis- solve the Union, nor do we believe in the past movement of those who have advo- cated and advanced the holding of the Nashville Convention. We hold thatCon- gress has committed no act authorizing the holding of said Convention ; that the power of legislation upon the subject be- longs to Congress alone, having been States ; hence every movement in that re- spect we regard as being revolationary in its character; and.the time for the ple to move, if they move at all, is only when sien Cont tution has been violated ina plain and palpable manner. Until then we hold that we are most solemnly bound as good and faithful citizens, serve and carry i tarbing the public peace by seeking to foment se j Is and to subvert the foundatic Union, will discov- er that they employed in earn. ; of | ings notoriety of shame, and in making nation.

Chief among these conspirators in this State are Thurlow Weed and William H. Seward—th3 one a reckless and malignant assailant of the Sodth; the other an unscrupu- lous demagogue, whose political life has been and supporting anti-renters and abolitionists in their assaults upon private rights andt weal. ‘These leaders in 2 causejin: is monstrous even to be a follower, death of President Taylor and-(he Mr. Fillmore, secretly advane and endeavored to make theiwhig-party of N. }J0.regar to almost every question of leg- York purely sectional in te herncier. lyat: |islation-which has been since agitated, tacke upon Mesers.

Mr. Seward’s Congress, who will in turn, it may be tras- lead, with bitter assaults upom the South were the only indications of their secret: deter- mination. Sees * Soon the advent of Mr. Fillmore forced up: on Messrs. Weed and Seward the unwelcome truth, that their conspiracy and base persistance in a useless and mischievous agitation would be met by the power and infleance of the go- vernment, strengthened by the patriotic men of all parties who loved the Union for the glori- ous triumphs it had achieved, the blessings it had imparted to a free people, and the count. less benefits it promised to the whole human family. The conspiracy, thus opposed, was soon overthrown in the national councils by the adoption of measures of pacification, and the country once more enjoyed quiet. within its bounds. Being foiled in their attempts to make the halls of Congress the theatre of their sec. tional and traitorous performances, the conspi- rators against the Union determined to devel. op their plans in the whig convention of this State. Messrs. Weed and Seward summoned their followers to the attack, and by the adop. tion of resolutions, which, in fact, denounced President Fillmore, urged the abolitionists of the country on to further agitation, developed their conspiracy for creating a purely sectional party. “This move in the game of sectionalism having succeeded in the convention, Mr. Duer an intimate friend of President Fillmore, and recently from Washington, with the Hon. Fran- cis Granger and other whigs of distinction, re. tired, and, having assembled by themselves, re. solved to present an address to the whigs of the State and call a convention. “ Such is the history of this treasonable con. spiracy of Weed and Seward, from its com. mencement up to the present time. It is, in truth, a combination of disaffected, over-ambi- tious whigs against the President and the har- mony andthe welfare of the Union. It com. bines all the elements of sectional agitation in this State, and will draw to its support all those whigs who prefer the advancement of * higher power,’ Senator Seward, and baneful sectional. ism, to President Fillmore and the stability of the Union. To this position of the open hostil- ity Mess@. Weed and Seward have been forc. ed by the accession of President Filmore ; for it was gyident that if a plain, marked line of demarcation was not drawn, the masses of the party would gradually slide into the support of the administration. ‘This was evident; and hence the necessity of impliedly rebuking the President, and compelling his friends to secede, so that the separation might be distinct and palpable. and the issue between Seward and Mr. Fillmore be plainly presented. Such, at pre- sent is the state of the whig party, and the de. velopments of time will render this more and more apparent. To the whigs of New York is therefore presented the question, whether they will sustain the whig President or the * higher senator.” , The following ie an extract from the address of the minority, written after they bad seceded from the Convention : “When, from all the Whigs in Congress and in the Union, one is selected for a special laudation, it must be fur something marked and particular in his course. It would be vain to deny that this emphatic condemnation of Mr. Seward especially, in the circumstances under which it was given, has reference to bis course on the common subject of slavery. It would go forth to’ the common understanding of men as a sanction of his peculiar opinions, be re. as an incorporation of them into the creed of the Whig party. The design to con. vert the Whig party of this State into an abo. lition party, or rather to destroy the Whig par. ty, and build up an abolition party on its ruins, is also manifest in the adoption of the 7th re. solution of Mr. Curnwell. compromise resolutions, while they assert the whole known doctrines of Northern Whigs on the subject of subject slavery, acquiesce in the settlement has oo Li itation.” is i eats Sr well spoken. beet the | Whigs of New York adhere position which they have taken, and, al- though the Whig party may be defeated in the State, ~ preeger of Sewardiem will be se- cured, that will prove a vi fraugh with blessings to the whole parted | . ng-—Mr. are ph veep J rt.

But to all such con- flicts, political as well as atmospherical, however menacing, there must be a term. Certain questions being at length.disposed of, both Houses of Congress were happily restored to a frame of mind adapted to the transaction of business, rnd have worked steadily at it during nearly the whole of the short remainder of the sesion. Something even more favorable may be effect upon Congress of those of compromise, as styled by me—pacification, as called by others— eh had stilled the storm. The spirit Reiliation has shed a visible influence ted; diffuse it among the constituencies to which any bill could pass Congress, so to be in a state to be presented to the President of the United States for his ap- probation, both Houses sat late, in a trial of physical strength en a contest between them on disagreeing votes upon one or two amendments to the Civil and Diplo- matic Appropriation bill ; a contest which did not terminate until four o’clock in the morning of the Sabbath, when absolute exhaustion rather than conviction obliged each House to recede a step, and so to suffer the bill to pass. The passage of that bill was in effect the crowning act of the session ; containing, as it does, besides the ordinary approprtations for carrying on the Government, important legislative enactments, such as the rules prevented from coming up within the session in the form of distinct bills. We cannot attempt to enumerate or particularize them. ex- cept for the satisfaction of our Washing- ton readers, to state that the clause for extending the Capitol buildings—one of the questions on which the two Houses at first disagreed—forms part of the bill as it passed, the amount of appropriation on- ly being reduced from two hundred thou- sand dollars to one hundred thousand. Late on the same evening the bill, which had previously passed the Senate, granting land bounties to soldiers of for- mer wars, received the sanction of the House of Representatives, and may be considered as law. This bill may be re- garded, form the amount of public lands, which it disposes of as one of the gnost ie dri acts of the session. e shall not fail to give to our readers the earliest possible account of all the bills which shall have become laws. Of these measures which appeared to us imperatively to demand legislative in- terposition, but which have failed to re- ceive it, it was the great subject of the de- pressed condition of the Manofactures of the country—that of Iron especially—re- quiring a modification of the Tariff; and the River and Harbor bill, the passage of which was due to the great interests and wants of the West, hitherto not soufficient- ly regarded and respected by the Gencral Government. This last bill, we have no doubt, would have commanded majorities in both Houses of Congress, could it have been reached in time to pass upon it. ‘Nat. Int. From the Pet. Intelligencer. THE FUGITIVE SLAVE BILL. The beneficial operations of this law are already being made manifest, for, by a New York letter in another column, it will be seen that a lady in Baltimore no sooner heard that the bill had become a law, than she sent to New York and pro- cured the arrest of a runaway slave, and had him sent to Baltimore where the oth- er requisitions of the law will be complied with. Here we find that the great city of New York, where are congregated more free negroes, and more materials of all sorts for mobs and riots than in any other place ia the Union, this law has been promptly executed. And yet our Representative in Congress speaks lightly * The night of Saturday being the las? = of this bill as giving additional security to | Soothern property and Southern rights ! But this New York case is not the only evidence which we have to show that the bill will be efficient, for no sooner did the runaway slaves about Pittsburg get tid- ings of itg enactment, than they were on the wing for Canada ; thus showing that they differ toto ealo fram Mr. Mead in re- gard to the value of the law to Southern slnveholders. The great number which departed from the single city of Pittsburg shows what a vast amount of slave prop- erty has been lost. This drain upon the slave property of the South was increas- ing every year ; and while a great many ronaway slaves ‘may take themselves, like the Stampeders, out of the reach of the present Jaw, it will operate very forcibly to prevent slaves at the Soath from 1g to escape, for ig- norant as they are, they acqvire a good deal more information than we suspect, Serer a thetoctip: sivonsabain-socle is the annual | tt fentity, umber who stampeded ‘it is not improbable upon them. THE CAROLINA WATCHMAN. a Salisbury. N. es THURSDAY EVENING, OCTOBER 10, = == THE GALPHIN CASE. Afier all the outcry of the Locofocos about the Galphin case, they could not finally. get rid of it without being brought to condema them. selves. They alleged that it was a grand swindle on the Government, aad even up to the present, occasionally indulge a strain of abuse against General Taylor's administration mak. ing that the ground work of the-assavk, The fact is, se many of their -party* hed, tn former years, robbed the Treasury, the Galphin case was, and is, viewed by them as a sort of good Providence, since they imagined tbat iC placed in their hands a weapon to combat, those who were wont to throw up tothem the Rices, Har. rises, and Swartwouts. But as remarked above, they were not able to get rid of the Galphin ease without con- demning themselves: Mr. Crawford, conseious of his integrity, and resolved to submit to no stain upon his character, petitioned the House of Representatives to pass a resolution to bring suit against him for the recovery of the money which he as Secretary of the Treasury, paid on this Galphin claim. The resolution passed the House almost unanimously. It went to the Senate and there the Locos killed it. ‘* Mr. Crawford proposed to waive all technical difficul- ties, and to try the question purely on its merits. If the Court should decide that the claim was not legal, he stood ready to refund the money. If the decision should be in his favor, then no oer could longer doubt the propriety of the payment of the interest. not one have ; : het the pragma my 4 jemp at so fair a chance to get back into the Treasury the 1 sum of $180,000, which they cry out, from Dan to Beertheba, was illegally paidaway? They have no doubt upon the point, (that is, if we may believe what they say,) that the money was illegally paid. Mr. Crawford proposes to refer the question to their own tri- bunals; and yet, strange to say, with a perfect assur- ance that the money ought to be recovered, they refuse to allow the suit to be ght! The resolution was laid on the table, 27 votes to 25. This is as complete a confession of hypocrisy, and of gross injustice to an in- dividual, as ever came under my observation. As a mere matter of pecuniary concern, the people ought to call those te account who assert that the government has been cheated out of $180,000, and yet refuse to take any step torecoverthe money: The case was ably and eloquently presented by Messrs. Ewing, Dawson and Badger, but all would not do. The party could not spare so potent a humbug as the Galphin business has proved, and so it would not do to put it in the Courts, where a just and conclusive decision could be had, and the impudence and falsehood of Locofoco pretence be exposed. For my own part, I think the only parties whom Mr. Crawford wronged, were himeelf and the Whig party—and that bythe. indelicacy of receiving even a just claim, while he himself was in the Cabinet. . Fayetteville Observer. THE LAST DAY OF THE SESSION. Can it be true that there were any consid. erable number of the members of Congress drunk on the last day or night of the session 7 We see it very distinctly hinted in the Repub- lic, that there was. We see it. intimated-in other papers, and. again in some one or two others, broadly asserted that a large number of them were drunk! The closing scene in that distinguished body is also described as one of great confusion and disorder. If the members were drunk, no one will doubt but there was disorder. Now if the devil gets into a man when he is under the influence of liquor, and often drives him to the commission of crime, will any one pretend that his majesty would lose so good an opportunity to do mischief as not to walk into Congress when the door is laid open for him? Will any one believe that once in he would not do all the mischief he could? We should really feel mortified and disgrac- ed if the members of our National Legislature conduct themselves in this manner; and as we would not employ a drunken man to do busi. ness in the common affairs of life, so we should unhesitatingly decline sending such an one charged with the important business of Legis- lation. ‘Those of them who either on that or any other occasion while in Congress got drunk, ought to be expelled—repudiated at home—disgraced every where, and consigned to his own private affairs.

We hope there has been no neglect of the law in this matter, on the part of the pro. | per officers. _ No free negro is allowed hy law to come into this State. Any person who brings one im asan emigrant, either by land or water, is liable to a fine of $500. We notice this case in order to arouse the alteation of the officers of the law.—North Carolinian The long continued dry weather has af- fected the navigation of our river.

Observer. “ Silence is often an answer,” says the Arabie proverb. How true it is, that when the tongue of malice or anger fails to provoke a reply, it reluctantly shelters itself in chagrin and shame! In many cases no rebuke can be more powerful than silence.—There are men you can- hot touch more acutely than by letting them alone most severely, as Theodore Hook expressed it, when they villify you. will build t. A better day is dawning. " Thursday night, the citizens and a Jarge number of strangers, were entertained at the Female Academy by one of the most recherche and complete examina- tions, that your corr t has ever withessed. The hall was lighted brilliantly, and testefully decorated with festoons and flowers. The teachers are Mrs. Ayer and daughter. The exercises were so arranged, and per- formed with so: , spirit, and , that the visiters w: tly interested. ease ce in the action and movement of the pupils—the nct articulation in pronouncing their pieces, reflect- ed great credit on their teachers. That action is no more important to an orator, than a proper mien and good manners are to a woman, seemed to be well known. The entertainment was concluded by a presentation of Bibles to three of the young ladies. In doing which, Miss Ayer took occasion to deliver a very handsome little addresa, as beautifal, as finished, as eloquent as the connoiseurs in such things, would care to hear. The second session of this School commences on the first Monday in November next. Besides this, there are twe other good schools in Statesville—a male and a female school. If these schools should continue to be well patroniz- ed, and the Plenk Road made through Statesville, that village will look up and prosper. Yours, NERO. A THING WHICH THE NEXT LEGIS. LATURE SHOULD REFORM. The law as it stands at present, requires all Sheriffs previous to selling lands for their tax- es, to advertise them in some Newspaper pub. lished in the city of Raleigh for the space of one month, even although the lands may be situated in some county in which not half doz. en copies of any Raleigh paper are taken, and a paper of large circulation is published in the county itself. Such a state of things is as a co- temporary observes “an outrage against com. mon sense.” Very frequently the advertise. ment is never seen by one man who could al- tend the sale, and is to all. intents and purposes perfectly useless. In calling attention to this matter, we are ac- tuated neither by motives of interest, nor of jeal- ousy towards our Raleigh cotemporaries.— } Time and again have we been struck with the injustice arising from the operation of this law and the injury which such a system is calcula- ted to inflict upon the owners of land sold for taxes, whose property is virtually unadvertised, and frequently sacrificed in consequence. In connexion with this, the Asheville Dollar News makes a suggestion which, with slight modifi. cation, should, we think, receive the favorable attention of the next Legislature. It is to the effect that, no officer should be allowed to sell valuable property, either real or personal, without first giving notice of the same through the news papers of the county, or the nearest print.” Wecertainly think that Sheriffs should be required to advertise lands in the paper of the county in which the lands lie, or in case when no paper is published in the county, then in that paper which has tHe largest circulation within the county, instead of being forced to advertise in Raleigh.— Wilmington Journal. Another Voice for a dissolution of the Union. —The Mobile Herald publishes a letter written by Gen. Nirabeau B. Lamar, ex President of ‘Texas, in reply to an invitation to attend the Macon (Ga.) Disunion Convention, which was held last week. Lamar is a disunionist right out, and, being so has at least the manliness to declare it, thus :—[ Bal. Sun. * That we should desire to remain in the Union under so many circumstances of outrage defamation and contumely, and with the cer- tainty too of the ultimate ruin, is a species of infatuation, of insanity, as incomprehensible to me as it is lamentable. But Iam sure that the day of our disenthralment is drawing near, and that the words secession, separation, disunion, which are now so appalling to the hearts of many, will become the common dialect of our children—and until that day shall arrive, I can entertain but little hopes for the South.” 0? Considerable excitement rages in Per- son county, we learn, in consequence of some improper conversation between two white men and some negroes, which was overheard. We understand that the two whites were arrested, examined and bound over to Court in the sum of $1,500 each. ‘The charge implicates them in an attempt to get up servile disaffection, for the purpose of plunder, &c. It-may not be a. miss to observe that these individuals are na- tives of the county (not * Yankees !’’) whose characters have heretofore stood very fair.— With the lights now before us we regard the whole affair as “ much ado about nothing”—a mole-hill magnified into a mountain. If it be otherwise, we hope some friend in Person will write us a full history of the affair. We would not now advert to it, but for the exaggerated reports in circulation, and the panic these re. ports has created in certain quarters.— Milton Chronicle. {> Edmund Burke, the former coeditor _ment, in conjunction with Mr. Overton, one of the present able editors.

The Reading (Pa.) correspondent of the Tribune relieves himsclf of the followinz: “ Yesterday it rained all day, but to day Aurora stretched out her rosy fingers and pulled the grey, gauzy misty nightcap from the head of Mount Penn, washing her rosy breast in trembling dew, and bathed her feet in the Schuykill. The following pithy little paragraph is characteristic of Bulwer: When poverty begs, the dogs bark at it; and when poverty is ill, the doctors mangle it; and. when poverty is dying, the priests scold at it; and when poverty is dead ; nobody weeps for it.” pets Pale inben’ cries cede tue Jacob by grace be prepared to go to it, and in the sweet re- union of Heaven, see that the Lord of all, has in his mysterious providence, done right.

Save in the war- there had never been witnessed | % { aes PAs ; ach a gathering in Red River County, while | ihe strong feeling, apparent on every flushed | face throughout the assembly, betokened some eat occasion. A concise narrative of facts will sufficiently explain the matter. Aboot the close of 1839, George Hopkins, | one of the wealthiest planters and most inflen. | iia] of Northern Texas, offered a great insult | to Mary Elliston, the young and beautiful wife of his chief overseer. ‘The husband threaten. ed to chastise him for the outrage, whereupon Hopkins loaded his gun, went to Elliston’s | bouse and shot him in his own door. The mur. | derer was arrested, and bailed to answer the | charge. ‘This occarrenee produced intense ex. citement : and Hopkins, in order to turn the | lide of popular opinion, or at least to mitigate the general wrath, which at first was violent inst bim, circulated reports infamously pre- | judicial to the character of the woman who had | slready suffered such wrong at his hands. She | brought her suit for slander. And thus two | cases, one criminal, and the other civil, and | both out of the same tragedy, were pending in | the April Circuit Court, for 1840. The interest naturally felt by the communi- ty as to the issues, became far deeper when it | was known that Ashley and Pike, of Arkansas, | aad the celebrated S. S. Prentiss, of New Or- Jeans, each with enormous fees. had been re- tained by Hopkins for his defence. The trial, on the indictment for murder, end- ed ou the 8th of April, with the acquittal of Hopkins. Such a result might well have been foreseen, by comparing the talents of the coun- rel engaged on either side. The ‘Texan law. yers were utterly overwhelmed by the argu. ment and eloquence of their opponents. It was a fight of dwarfs against giants. The slander suit was set for the 8th, and the throng of spectators grew in numbers as_ well as excitement ; and what may seem strange, the current of pablic sentiment wow ran deci- dedly for Hopkins, His’ mowey had procured pointed witnesses, Who served. most efficiently bis powerful advocates. Indéed,, so triumph- ant had been the success of the previous day, that when the slander case was called, Mary Elliston was left without an attornaey—they had al] withdrawn. The pigmy petiifoggers dared not brave again the sharp wit of a Pike, and the scathing thunder of Prentiss. “ Have you no counsel?” inquired Judge Mills, looking kindly at the plaintiff. | | “No, sir; they have all deserted me, and Fr am too poor to employ any more,” replied the beautiful Mary, bursting into tears. “In such a case, will not some chivalrous member of the profession volunteer?” asked the Judge, glancing around the bar. The thirty lawyers were silent as death. Judge Mills repeated the question. “Twill, your honor,” said a voice from the nee part of the crowd, situated behind the ar. At the tones of that voice many started half way from their seats ; and perhaps there was not a heart inthe immense throng which did not beat something quicker—it was so unearth- ly sweet, clear, ringing, and mouroful. The first sensation, however, changed into general laughter, when a tall, gaunt, spectral figure, that nobody present remembered ever to have eeen before, elbowed his way through the crowd, and placed himself within the bar. His appearance was a problem to puzzle the sphinx herself. His high, pale brow, and small, nervously-twitching face, seemed alive with the concentrated essence and cream of genius; but then his infantine Llue eyes, hard- ly visible beneath their massive arches, looked dim, dreary, almost unconscious; and bis clothing was so exceedingly shabby that the court hesitated to let the cause proceed under his management. “ Has your name been entered on the rolls of the State ?”” demanded the Judge, suspi- Ciously. “It is immaterial about my name’s being | éntered on your rolls,” answered the stranger, his thin, bloodless lips curling up into fiendish | “IT may be allowed to appear once, by the courtesy of the Court and Bar. Here is my license from the highest tribunal in Amer- ica!” and he handed Judge Mills a broad sneer, parchment. The trial immediately went on. In the eramination of witnesses the stranger evinced but little ingenuity, as was commonly. He suffered each one to tell his own story without interruption, though he contrived lo make each one of them tell it over two or He put few erdoss questions, whieh, with keen witnesses, only serve to cor: thought, three times. rect mistakes; and he made no notes, which in mighty mémories, always tend to embarrass.

The great Prentiss concluded for the defend- ant, with a glow of gorgeous words, brilliant as showers of falling stars, and with a final burst of oratory that brought the house duwn in cheers, in which the sworn jury themselves “order!” of the bench. Thus wonderfully susceptible are the south-western people to the charms of impassioned eloquence. It was the stranger’s turn. He had remain- ed apparently abstracted during all the previ- | ous speeches.

But now at last he rises—before the bar rail- | ing, not behind it—and so near to the wonder. g jury that he might touch the foreman with his long bony finger. With eyes still half shut, and standing rigid as a pillar of iron, his thin lips curl as if in measureless scorn, slightly part, and the voice comes forth. At first, itis low and sweet, insinuating’ itself through the brain, as an artless tune, winding its way into the deepest heart, like the melody of a magic incantation :—while the speaker proceeds with. out a gesture or the least sign of excitement, to tear in pieces the argument of Ashley, which melts away at his touch as frost before the sun- beam. Every one looked surprised. His logic was at once so brief, and so luminously clear, that the rudest peasant could comprehend it without effort. Anon, he came to the dazzling wit of the poet-lawyer, Pike. ‘The curl of his lip grew eyes began to open, dim arfd dreary no longer, but vivid as lightning, red as fire globes, and glaring like twin meteors. The whole soul was in the eye—the full heart streamed out on the face. In five minutes Pike’s wit seemed the foam of folly, and his finest satire horrible profanity, when compared with the inimitable sallies and exterminating sarcasm of the | stranger, interposed with jest and anecdote that filled the forum with roars of laughter. ‘Then, without so much as bestowing an al. | lusion on Prentiss, he turned short on the per- | jured witnesses of Hopkins, tore their testi- | mony into atoms, and hurled in their faces such | terrible invective that all trembled as with ague, and two of them actually fled dismayed from the Court House. The excitement of the crowd was becoming tremendous. ‘Their united life and soul ap- d to hang on the burning tongue of the He inspired them with the powers of his own passions. fe saturated them with the poison of his own malicious feelings.

This seems a hard case, bat we do not complain of it. We wish, however, that Madam Justice, while she is striking at such offences, would slip the bandage from her eyes long enough to see liquor-sellers, who, with active poisons mixed with liqaors which would be poisonous enough for homicidal purposes without the mixtures, are daily killing their fel- low men—killing, not the body only, but honor, reputation, conscience, hope, affection, man. hood—killing the very life of life,—destroying soul and body together. Thia they are doing and they know it. Our law-makers, our grand- our prosecuting attornies, know it too—but how marvellously calm and indifferent they all seem about it! Nay, this murderous business is li- censed in nearly every State throughout the Union, and Government derives a revenue from the sale of criminal indulgencies. Not only are fifty thousand people murdered annually by means of the grog shops, licensed and unii- censed, but from three-fourths to nine-tenths of the crime and pauperism that afflict communi. ties are justly chargeable to the same source. We ask our fellow citizens to consider these facts—for facts they are, beyond denial or im- peachment. If a poor apothecary may be just- ly held responsible tor an error, resulting in the death of a single victim, is it not time that the reckless and wicked destruction of human life by the spirit-venders, arrested the attention of our civil authorities, and that adequate penal. ties be meted out to their crimes against so- cietiy 7 Not till the vending of alcoholic poi- sons asa beverage shall be regarded as a crime, can we hope to arrest the evil which we deplore.— Temperance Protector.

Among other things, [ men- tioned that decayed flesh was used for the pur- fell and boiled in billows as he chose. But his greatest triumph was lo come. His eye began to glare furtively at the as- sassin, Hopkins, as his lean, tape slowly assumed the same direction. He hem. med the wretch around with a circumvallation of strong evideace and impregnable argument, cutting off all hope of escape. He piled up huge bastions of insurmountable tacts. He dug beneath the murderer and slanderer’s feet ditches of dilemmas, such as no sophistry could overleap, and no stretch of ingenuity evade ; and having thus, as one might say, impounded the victim, and girt him about like a scorpion in the circle of fire, he stripped himself to the work of massacre !”’ O! then, but it was a vision both glorious | and dreadful to behold the orator. His action, | before graceful as the wave of a golden willow in the breeze, grew impetuous as the motion of 'an oak in the hurricane. His voice became a | trumpet, filled with wild whirlwinds, deafening the ear with crashes of power, and yet inter- mingled all the while with a sweet undersong | of the softest cadence. His face was red as a _drunkard’s—his furehead glowed like a heated | furnace—his countenance looked haggard like that of a maniac ; and ever and anon he flung "his long, bony arms on high, as if grasping af. | ter thunder-bolts! Hedrew a picture of mur- _der in such appalling colours, that in compari. | son hell itselt might be considered beautiful.— | He painted the slanderer so black, that the sun seemed dark at noonday when shining on such an accursed monster—and then he fixed both portraits on the shrinking brow of Hopkins, and he nailed them there forever. The agita. tion of the audience nearly amounted to mad- ness. All at once the speaker descended from his perilous height. His voice wailed out for the murdered dead, and described the sorrows of the widowed living—the beautiful Mary, more | beautiful every moment, as her tears flowed laster—still men wept, and lovely women sob- bed like children. He closed by a strange exhorlatioa to the jury and through them to the bystanders. He entreated the panel, after they sbould bring in their verdict for the plaintiff, not to offer vio- lence to the defendant, however richly he might deserve it ; in other words, “not to lynch the villain, Hopkins, but leave his puniehment to God.” This was the most artful trick of all, and the best calculated to insure vengeance. r fingers | pose of refining the liquors. ‘The brewers of | the place came out in the papers, stating that 1 had accused them of using rotten flesh, and denied the charge under oath. | Atmy next lecture, I noticed the statement | and reminded the audience that my declara- tion was only a general one in reference to the tricks of brewers. But since the men had thought proper to make the matter personal, it might not be amiss to call the attention of the audience. I then requested a distinguished gentleman present to relate a conversation held between him and a butcher the evening of my last leeture. He arose and said: “ As I was leaving the church, a butcher addressed me, and said, ‘I wonder how that man finds out every thing !’ I asked, what thing? ‘ Why, that the brewere t in dead dogs, and cats, and such things.’— | T inquired, do you know anything about it t— ‘Yes,’ he replied. ‘My boys sell the rotten sheep, and calves heads to the brewers, and they pay them to keep it a secret.” As the gentleman took his seat, the butcher, who was present, cried, ‘I did not tell you 80, that is not what I said.” J asked, well, what did you say? He answered, “I did not say that my boys sold the rotten calves heads, but that they sold the brewers the rotten sheeps’ heads.” Whether the brewers thanked him for the correction, or not, is not known. But it is cer- tain that their sworn to certificate did not strengthen faith in the veracity of men, who, | if mean enough to use the ingredients said to be used by the brewers, wine merchants and liquor sellers, would be mean enough to deny it. ee a Wyoming, Pa., July 20. { | | | pu | Dreadful Murder.—Mrs. Milan, wife Turner Milan, living near Laurens C.

Still it must be admitted that the two words..or rather the two: ideas are apt to invade.each other’s domains, as false manners often conflict withteuth, and a false moral too frequently ,countenances the perversion of native good breeding. _ Mannére have been justly denominated the mirror mor. als, because they are after all but the manifes- tation of our feelings in the daily intercourse of | life: The prevalence of affectation is an evil’ we cannot but deplore. » It is constantly’ onthe increase as luxury and wealth prevail, and: threatens to pervade every. ramification of so- ciety. Let us view it in several of morécommon. phases. This habit bas, according to the general o. pinion, manifested itself most obviously .im the behaviour of fashionably educated young la- tion, the smattering of French, and (tie habit of its ordinary. signs. ‘Ihe young persoa who wishes to make an impression upon ‘society that she has formed her manners. by the most approved models, forgettiog that the most un- gainly and homely. of her sex are sometimes the shrewdest of her critics, is apt to go be. yond the originals she undertakes to imitate, and so to exaggerate their supposed refine- ments, that the artifice becomes evident to the most superficial observers. She talks of no. thing but operas and_balls, she sings in a tone and style as foreign as she can imagine, and dresses according to, the latest importation from Paris. But these ate the grosser and more dis. gusting forms of affectation which all éasily re-" cognize, and which alt sober minded Pewee despise. There are, however, certain slighter shades of the same thing that are found every where, and yet are very difficult of detection. All of ug are apt to adopt some habit which has pleased us in others, and endeavor in spite of nature to make it our own. Some elegant movement or some extra sweetness of tone, some form of expression that sounds like an emanation from the refined atmosphere of court- ly elevation, is almost undesignedly adopted, and becomes a habit of our own which others see to be unnatural, and fee! to be unpleasant. Gentlemen are not altogether free from this prevailing species of artifice. The very low bow, the pompous strut, the air of ease which is manifestly unfelt, are familiar illustrations. It must be admitted, however that in ordiaary social intercourse the manly feeling rebels a- gainst borrowed forms, and. indulges itself in what is equally awnoying, an original tenden- cy to eccentricity. It is in public exhibitions of himself that the man most commonly resorts to artificial mannerism, and condescends to copy the excellencies and the faults of others. Nowhere is thig evil more frequeptly met with than in the pulpit.

He gave to the Methodist Church at Knoxville the ground on whieh their,hoi of worship was built; and occasionally: appear in the congregation, and join: wi in their worship. - , Now, in those days, there was.a notable Presiding Elder in that region called Father Axley, a pious, laborious, uncompromising preacher of the Gospel, who considered it his duty to rebuke sin wherever it should presume to lift up its defurmed head within the fimits of his district. And while Father Axley was a man of respectable talents, undoubted piety, and of great ministerial fidelity, he had, moreover, a spice of humor, oddity, and dollery, about him that rarely failed to impart a characteristic tinge to performancs. ‘The consequence was, that amusing anecdotes of the sayings and do. ings of Father Axley abounded throughout the country. , On a certain day, a number of lawers and literary men were together in the town of Knoxville, and the conversation turned on the stibject of preaching and preachers. One and | another had expressed his opinion of the per- formances of this and that pulpit orator. At length Judge White spoke up :—* Well, gen. tlemen, on this subject, each man is, of course, entitled to his own opinion ; but I must confess that father Arley brought me to a sense of my evil deeds—or at least a portion of them—more effectually than any preacher I have ever heard. At this every eye was turned ; for Jadge White was never known to speak lightly on religious subjects ; and, moreover, he was: habitually cautious and respectful in his remarks concera- ing religious men, ‘The company oow express- ed the most urgent desire that the Judge would give the particulars, and expectation stood on tip-toe. “1 went up,” said the Judge, “ one evening to the Methodistchurch. A sermon was preach- ed by a clergyman with whom I was not ac- quainted ; but Father Axley was in the pulpft. At the close of the sermon, he arose, and said to the congregation, ‘I am not going to detain you by delivering an exhortation. I bave risen simply to administer a rebuke for improp- er conduct which Lhave observed here to-night. This, of course, waked up the entire assembly ; and the stillness, was most profound, while Ax- ley stood and looked for two or thrée seconds over the congregation. Then, stretching out his huge, long arm, and pointing with bis fin. sermons become so much a matter of routine that one accustomed to hear the speaker might almost indicate before band when certain chang- es of manner might be expected. Whenever it is seen, affectation has a disa- greeable effect upon those who witness it. It inevitably betrays the fact that self occupies a prominent place in the thoughts of the actor.— It is often indulged from an effort to please, but then it is for the sake of self. It never springs from a genuine interest in the comfort of others which would lead us to forget our- selves, and be thoughtful only of those in whose company we may be. All attempts to appear more polished, more witty, or more learned and eloquent than we are, proceed from an over- weening regard to the impressions we may make upon those around us, and easily distin. guished, in principle at least from the gentle. ness and sweetness of true benevolence. The poet Cowper, has expressed in strong but not too emphatic language, the abhorrence of a rightly thinking mind, and the aversion of a pure taste, for this deplorable vice. In man or woman, but far most in man, And most of all in man that ministers And serves the altar, in my soul T loathe All Affectation. "Tis my perfect scorn ; Object of mp implacable disgust. What! will a man play tricks, will he indulge A silly fond conceit of his fair form, And just proportion, fashionable men, And pretty face, in presence of his God? Or will he seek to dazzle me with tropes As with the diamond on his lilly hand, And play his brilliant parts before my eyes When I am hungry for the bread of life ? If those who are addicted to this habit only knew how unnaturally it sits upon them, and how apparent is the vanity which prompts it, they would take care to ascertain their talent for imitation before they would undertake to show themselves off to advantage in the plumes and habiliments of others, Proficients in the art would succeed in deception, and the rest of the world would be content to appear before e theatre should have its own, and the jine of de- marcation be distinctly drawa between the real aod the feigned. ‘Truth ‘ts precious, and it is no less our duty to act than to speak in accord. ance with it.

She was young, handsome, and a mother.—- An unaccountable passion for intoxica- ting drinks, soon made a hell of a once happy home, drove a kind hearted hus band and father to dispair and death, and brought the wretched mother and her two to the degradation of public shame and beggery. Her ravings were terrible. She fancied herself a fiend of perdition, compelled by a superior power of dark- ness to thrust her children into fierce flaies and bold them there till their bod- jes were burned intoa crisp! Her de- seription of what she saw in her madness, and of what she fancied she was obliged todo, were awful and indescribable. Oc- easionally the wretched woman would fly to the farthest corner of the room, utter- ing piercing screams of agony, and press- ing the palms of her bands over her eyes iu a:vain attempt to shut out the horrid presented to her distorted vision. a0, as if impelled by an irresistable power, she would rusb forward, clutching wildly at what she thought were her chil- dren and with loud outcries plunge them again and again into the furnace of fire, mingling horrid curses and imprecations. with the most touching and fervent pray- era. This hallucination haunted the mis- erable women long after she was render- ed powerless by the restraint of the strait t, and was succeeded by others, even more terrible in character, and too shock- ing for detail which continued until death closed the scene.— Albany Express. THE WHALE'S STRENGTH. The most dreadful display of the whales strength and power yet authentically recorded, was that made on the American whale ship Essex, Captain Pollard, which sailed from Nantucket for the Pacific o. cean, in August, 1829. Late in the fall of the same year, when in latitude 40 of the South Pacific, a school of sperm Whales was discovered, and three boats ‘were manned and sent in pursuit. The mate's boat was struck by one of them, aad be was obliged to return to the ship inorder to repair the damage. While 2 She pnenged in that work, a. eperm whale judged to be eighty-three feet long broke water twenty ta from the ship on her weatherbow. He was at the rate of about three knots an and the ship at nearly the same rate when be struck the bow of the vessel jast forward of her chains. At the shock produced by the collision of two such mazses of matter in motion, the ship shook like a leaf. The seeming- mulicgious whale dived and passed un. the ship, grazing her kee! and then appeared at about the distance of a ship's th, lashing the sea with its fins and if suffering the most borrible ago- was evidently hart by the ealli- blindly frantic with instinctive of : tos call which bad received 500 The meet- ing was called to order by the Hon. A. R. Johnson, and Edward Pickett was chosen *| President, J. N. Selser and D. S. Jennings groes Vice Presidents, and G. W. Harper, and L. V- Dixon Seeretaries. The utmost harmony and good feeling prevailed, and some excellent speeches who were made, all going for the Union, the whole Union, and nothing but the Union, and denouncing everything and every body who attempted to go against it. A long preamble and resolutions were era which we cannot give in full, bat the spirit of the latter may be judged from the following = Resolved, That the proceedings and the resolutions of the Nashville Convention, the speeches, addresses and essays, of those who support it, tend to a dissolution of the Union, and must result in that or notbing, and that we denounce the Con- vention and all its works. Resolved, That our Senator in Congress the Hon. Henry S. Foote, bas our hear- ty thanks for the firm, enlightened and pa- triotic stand he has taken on the platform of Washington and Jackson,in preference to the Nashville Convention. Resolved, That the resolution of the Legislature of the State of Mississippi, passed at its last session, which pledged tbe State of Mississippi to abide by the decision ot the Nasbville Convention, was andis in our opinion a presumptuous usur- pation on the part of the Legislature, wholly unaathorized by the people of the State. Resolved, That in the present position of affairs we can see no good to result from a re-assemblage of the Nashville Convention—that the delegates from this State, elected by the October convention, —and we recognize no others as having been appointed by the people—were elec- ted with reference to questions which are no longer at issue, and unless Congress shall, before its adjournment, adopt some measures injurious to the rights of the South, of which we have no grounds of apprehension, we are opposed to the re- assemblage of the convention. Resolved, That we have heard that his Excellency the Governor proposes to con- vene the Legislature on account of the passage of the California bill, and with a view to take some action as to “ a mode and measure of redress” on the part of this State—and we would regard such an assemblage of the Legislature as, wholly unnecessary, and that even in the event of its being called, it is the sense of this meeting that our Senator and Represen- tative be instructed to oppose all measures tendiug to a dissolusion of the Union. Resolved.That the Northern and Soath- ern Senators and Representatives in Co=- gress who have, during the slavery con- troversy, opposed Northern and Southern zealots and fanatics, and who have stood by the Constitution and the Union, deserve the heartfelt thanks of this meeting, of the citizens of the United States, and of all true lovers of republican Government throughout the world. As a further proof of the feeling in Mississippi, the Natchez Courier states that the call for the great Union Meeting which was to be held in that city on the 29th, was signed by 573 citizens, the whole vote of the county being but 900, and that they know of at least 100 Union men who were absent on their usual sum- mer tours. Mississippi seems to be all right on the Union question after all.— Balt. Sun. From the}N. O. Picayune, Sept. 27. FROM TEXAS. By the steam ship Portland, which arrived this morning, we have received Galveston pa- pers to the 20th instant. In regard to the Texas Boundary bill which recently passed Congress, the Journal says: The proposition to Texas, we have no hesi- tation in saying, will be accepted, and thus the excitement which has agitated the country will be put to rest. We could have desired that our boundary had been different and that the provision in the bill, inserted doubtless for the benefit of the creditors of Texas, reserving five millions until their receipts are filed at Washington city, bad been stricken out. These important alterations might have been made through our Legislature, but the body has shown iteelf by its action, or rather non.action, to be so entirely unreliable and inefficient that there is now no other resort for Texas than to accept the proposition as it stands. The Hunisville Item of the 14th inst. says a meeting was held in that place the preceding week. A commitiee was appointed to draw up resolutions which being presented were found to approve of the Pearce bill, d&e., but afier a warm discussion a motion for adjournment was carried by 44 tu $2 and nothing was done. It appears that the meeting could not ove the Pearce bill, and preferred to do nothing rather thao express an opinion against jt. The Comptroller submitted a complete state- ment of the public debt of Texas to the Le. gislature at ite recent session, from which it appears that the whole amount, ae adjusted in accordance with existing laws, allowing for all which bas not been handed in for does tot exceed seven millions of dullars.

The Union must be Dissolved.—It is known to our readers that we have pursued a middle course, and have all the time been for the Union, but after seeing all that Congress has done, and the continued “aggressions of the North” which have been brought on the Amer. ican or Southern people the following terrible afflictions and calamities. We, and the hard working people of the South must go for a “ dissolution.” Cotton, the basis of the com. merce of the world, has gone up under “ Nor- theru usurpation from 5 to 14 cents, Mules from $60, to $1000 and $150, Corn from 25 cents to $1 per bushel, Flour from 85 to $10 a bar- rel, poor men are getting instead of $6, $10 to $15 per month, bacon, instead of 5, is worth 10 cents. Rice, tobacco, &c., are all bring- ing good prices. Rail Roads are everywhere building, Manufactures are going up in all di- rections, and doing well. Negroes, instead of selling at from $350 to $600, are going at from $600 to $1,200, and nearly every thing else in proportion. ‘The question forthe “ South” now to decide is, can she stand up and sustain her place in the Union any longer under this sys. tem of unexampled prosperity ? or will she not at once throw off her shackles, go to fighting, shedding of blood, and at once reduce the great maes of laboring men, mechanics, stock rais- ers, farmers and manufacturers to their proper level!

Prrrssurc, Oct. 3d.—The conduct of Mayor Barker, for a few days past, has caused some excitement in the city, and induced the belief, that our chief magis- trate of the city has become insane. On Toesday night, by a siugular freak, he ordered a portion of the city Councilmen, to be arrested'and committed tojail. The Councilmen immediately sued out a hab- eas corpus, and were released by the Judge. Barker, on hearing thie, knew no bounds to his indignation. He threaten- ed to hang the Judge, Councilmen and Editors who took side with them. He then again imprisoned a portion of the Council, who were again discharged.—- Last night the Council held a meeting, when the regulation of the city was taken from the Mayor's hands: Barker threat- ens to-day to ii all the members of the Council, all the Judges. The ut- mest excitement prevails. and-another to Fayetteville, and we believe another to some gentleman in the Western counties. TAYLORSVILLE. This place is yet small ; but it must be re. membered that it is now only about three years since it was Jaid off in the woods. ‘The squares are laid out at regular angles,—measuring about 400 feet in depth, The streets run North-east and South. west, and are wider than those of Salisbury. The citizens, mindful of their comfort, have already set out a number of shade trees along the walks. Taylorsville has improved rapidly since the commencement of its race. It has seventeen neat dwelling, and four store-houses. Its mer- chants are, A. C. McIntosh, Bogle & Jones, J. C. Montgomery & Co., and A. & J. Car. son. There are two good Hotels: one by T. S. Boyd, and the other by H. James. There are also two Blacksmith, two Saddle, three Shoe, two Tailor, three Carpenter, and two Cabinet, shops. The public buildings of the County, put up here, are good. The Court House is a very handsome structure, and occupies the centre of a whole square. The trees, the native growth, which surround it, we thought bad been trim. med rather two close. But the handsome pro- portions of the building are only the better seen. Its beautiful pillars, pilasters, entabla- tures and*gables, all pure white, form a most agreeable contrast with the dark green foilage of the oak and chesnut, which almost brush its walls. The internal arrangement of this build- ing is the best we have seen. The officers of the Court have their offices in the lower story. The Court room is above, and takes in the whole floor. ‘This room is reached by two pair of stairs which start from the vestibule in the South-east end of the building, and land on opposite sides of a potico above. The potico is neatly railed with iron railing.—On the whole, Alexander has done herself much credit by the Temple which she has erected to Jus. tice. The Jail is an unpretending brick build- ing, two stories bigh, strong and safe, put up at a cost of $2,000. The two, cost the County about $6,000. There is a very neat little brick Church in Taylorsville, erected since the town was laid out, belonging to the Methodist denomination ; and the Presbyterians are now preparing ma- terials for another. They expect to put it up next Spring. I: isto be as large and neat as it is possible to make it at a cost of a thousand or twelve hundred dollars. The dwelling houses, store-houses, shops, &c., in this new town, are all pretty good as they are all now new. Many of them are painted, and some of them are finished with taste. There is a Division of the Sons of Temper- ance in operation there, and we think there is no such thing as a grog shop in the place. McBride, one of the abolition Wesleyan preachers, who was lately arrested and held to bail for his appearance at Forsythe Superior Court, for preaching incendiary abolition ser. mons, had his trial this week. We learn bya geatleman who was there, that he was found guilty and sentenced to pay $1,000, to one year’s imprisonment, two hours in the pillory, and twenty lashes on the bare back. He has taken an appeal, however, and of course the execution of this sentence will be delaved until a fina] decision. McBride’s cotemporary, Mr. Crook, was ac. quitted.

PURITY OF ELECTIONS. Ata Public Meeting held on the 18th Bept., of the citizens of Charleston, favorable to the adoption of measures for promoting the Purity of Elections, the following Resolution was adopted : Resolved, That the more effectually to car. ry out the objects of this meeting, a Commit. tee of Twenty be appointed by the Chair to obtain signatures to the following paper, from such citizens of Charleston as may be willing to unite therein, and that the names. procured by the said Commitiee, be reported to the Chairman or Secretaries of this meeting by the first of Nctober next, to be published in the daily papers of the City. The following is the paper referred to in the above Resolution, and in accordance therewith, is submitted to the Citizens of Charleston for their signature : “The undersigned will vote for no candi- date for any office of honor, profit or trust, who shall directly or indirectly, bargain, trade, or canvass for votes, by the gift of money, meat, or drink, or who shall contribute, or give coun- tenance by any other means, to the corruption of the elective franchise.” The Committee appointed under the above Resolution, have so far discharged the duty as. signed them, as to be able to report up to the 2d of October, the names of nearly 1500 per- sons. The following resolution was adopted at a Un. ion meeting recently beld in Bibb County, Ga ; Believing, as we do, that either secession or any other extreme measure, at present, can on- ly result in mischief to the Suuth, and to the cause of Republican institutions, we will sup. port no candidate for a seat in said Convention who does not publicly and unequivocally, pledge himself to oppose any and every measure which may lead, either directly or indirectly, toa dis- satisfaction of the Union; and we request the friends of the Union in other counties, to ex- act the same pledge from every candidate be. fore yielding him their support. Deplorable—We learn from a farmer from Alamance and Orange, with whom we conversed on Saturday, that great numbers of persons from that region of our State are preparing to move off, west and South-west.

A man who died recently in the Commercial Hospital, at Cincinnati, from a gua-shot wound, survived sixty-eight hours after the ball had passed through the right auricle of the heart ! This is certainly a remarkable phenomenon in the history of surgery. Upon a post mortem examination the ball was found lodged in the spinal bone, after aleo passing through the edge of the Jung. Another, almost as remarkable.—John Rich- ards, of Gold-Hill, received two pistol balls just above the left ear. They ranged upward through the brain. The wounds were probed to the depth of four or five inches, but the balls were not extracted. And yet the man lived about eight days, in the full possession of his senses.

When seen through a glass, they appeared semi-transparent, except the bead, and a narrow line, of a blackish color, the back ; or perhaps the dark opaque line, which appeared on the back, was internal. The worms doubtless were inthe larvee siate ; but of a specie I believe’ unknown in this re. gion, except in connexion “with the extraordi. nary appearance already described. A similar exhibition, [ understand, has been observed several times before, in the same yard, and at about the same season of the year. And it is highly probable, J think, that it occurs every year, though it has not unfrequenily es. caped observation. Mr. Coryell states that be first observed such a body of worms, on bit farm, a mile or more from his house ten or twelve years ago; and that placing a piece of paper in front of the moving mass, be re. ceived them upon it, and brought them hom and left them in the same yard, where they have now, and a number of times before sp peared. L. H. P. As this singular phenomenon appears to &l. tract some notice, we will state that a precisely similar one was witnessed in Monigomey county about the year 1626- It was found oa the plantation of Col. West Harris, the same that is now owped by Benjamin Simmons, Eeq. Roland Harris, who is now a citizen of Lebanon, Tennessee, will doubtless remem- ber it. The editor of thie paper, though iben quite young, remembers it with perfect distinct. ness. The whole family, white and black, liv. ing there at the time, were assembled 1o see it. Qld Mrs. Harris, who was of enormous size, and on account of that circumstance and her age and infirmities,—being unable to walk so far,—was carried in her great arm chair some two hundred yards to where it was found. |i was a snake, to al] appearance, to view il a! the distance of a few feet. But a close io- spection showed jt to be composed of millions of small insects, of a whiteish color. To touch it with a stick, there was no perceplible sensation manifested except on the epot loveb- ed. There the insects would scatter somewbe!, or flatten ; but gradually the genera! serper tine shape would be resumed, and the whok body move on as described in the foregoing #- ticle. Abolition Excitements.—The N. York Et press denies that the passage of the Fugitir® Slave Bill has caused any great excitemeni # the North. It says, that the Telegragphic re- ports of * tremendous excitement” turn out [0 have no foundation in fact. The Boston pt pers also deny the existence of “ great excile ment” at Worcester, and inform us thal il is Telegraphic manufacture. The Express cautions the public agains be lieving these “miserable fabrications,” adds,— “The impression, we believe, is preity g¢® eral in every intelligent community, (ba! 'b¢ people who get up these stories do not care ® fig for the negro—their highest ambition being by dint of hard trying, to worm themselves |" to the good graces of certain demagogues they have set us to worship.

Fremont— wing out of certain expressions used by the sete in relation to the California land bili— bes been adjusted satisfactorily and honorably to both (hose gentlemen. The fisticuff contests of the * honorable” members of our * honora- ble” Congress are paraded before the world as quite a matler of course and the * honorable” yetiement of them follows as an incident of rast importance, We do not believe the pub- lie care a fig bow such vulgar affairs are set. tled, or whether they are settled at all or not. We do not understand why a kick or a cuff from one “ honorable” to another, is of any more consequence to the public, than the same encounter bétween Jack and his brother soot, unless a blackguard act becomes not such when committed by an honorable.’ Our no- tion is tbat they ought to be permitted to ‘ fight it out,’ and then We should have a rare report of “ Congressional proceedings” in this wise : “The honorable gentlemen debated the mat- ter with considerable heat, and closed it with a“ rough and tumble” argument on the floor of the Senate, much to the entertainment of that honorable body and the edification of the specta'ors in the gallery.” When two distin. guished men are to speak, such as those named above the announcement might be made as fol. lows: “It is expected that the honorable Messrs. Foote and Fremont will speak to-mor- row on the subject before the Senate, and that the matier will conclude with a personal * ar. gumenium ad hominem” —alia, a regular set too —such as certajn persons have who be gin their colloquy with * you b——h, get out of this Al. ley.” — Wilmington Commercial. = Boz Versus Dickest—We were much a- mused yesterday, by e related of an eriled Hungarian, who with very limited kaow!. edge of our language, endeavered to read the title-page of one-of Dickens’ aow After the word ' Boz,’ followed * Dicke & perenthe. sis, which he thought must be the iation of the word betore it. * B-o-z, > he repeated in. utter astovishment. ‘ Ob I vill give it all up.

It seems that the boys attending the school, of the average of 7 years, had in their play of bat and ball, broken one of the neighbor's windows bat no clue to the offender could be obtained, as he would not confess, nor would any of his associates expose him. The case troubled the teacher, and on the case of one of our citizens visiting the school, she privately and briefly stated the circumstance, and wished him in some remarks to the school to advert to the Principle involved in the case. The address to the schoo! had reference Principally to the condact of boys in the Mreets and at their sports. The princi- Ples of rectitude and kindness which ld govern them everywhere—even when alone and when they thought there Was no eye to see, and no one to observe. The sehool seemed deeply interested in the remarks. A very short time after the visitor left et a little boy rose in his seat and said: “Miss L.—, I batted the ball that broke Mr.——’s window. Another boy | threw the ball, and it struck the window. lt am willing to pay for it.” There was a death-like silence in the as the little boy was speaking, and it continued for a minute after he had closed. “Bat it won't be right for——to pay the whole for the glass.” Said another boy rising in his seat,“ all of us that were Playing should pay some thing, because TM were all engaged alike in playing-— P&y my part.” “And I” “AndL” A thrill of pleasure seemed to run through the school at this display of cor- reet feeling. The teacher's heart was touched, and she felt more than ever the responsibility of her charge.

FORSYTHE SUPERIOR COURT. The Fall Term of the Superior Court for Forsythe county was held last week,—Judge Manly presiding. There was but one case of general importance disposed of, to wit: ‘ The State vs. Jesse McBride and Adam Crooks,” on a charge of circulating an incendiary pub- lication. The defendants were indicted under the Act of 1830, being the 17th section of the chapter on Crimes and Punishments in the Re- vised Siatutes, which is as follows ; “If any person shall knowingly bring into this State, with an intent to circulate, or know. ingly circulate or publish within this State, or shall aid or abet the bringing intothis State or the circulation or publication within the State, any written or printed pamphlet or paper, whe. ther written or printed in or out of the State, the evident tendency whereof would be to excite insurrection, conspiracy or resistance in the slaves or free negroes and persons of color within the State, or which shall advise or per- suade slaves or free persons of color to insur- rection, conspiracy or resistance, such person jay time. It can be done without debauching the morals of the slave, avd where there is no. danger of conspiracies of insurrection. [have a few slaves, and these have hereto. | fore followed the general practice of going to | night corn shuckings. I have invariably ob. | served that chills and fever, pneumonia, pleuri- | sy or bronchetis ensue about the close of the shucking season ; and [ have little doubt that | agreat many deaths among whites and blacks, | are attributable to the exposure of these occa. | sions. negroes hy death, could be put together in a | proper view, it would be manifest that the pre. | sent mode of doing this labor is by far more | expensive than if it were done in the usual | way, or even if it were done like mowing and | reaping by hired hands. ‘The chief advantage | fn this mode is, that in the highly excited state | of feeling which prevails on such occasjons a reat deal of labor is dane in a short time.— | This is undoubtedly the case, but it is often | done at the expensé of the slave owner. Be- sides having the slave stupified all next day | from the previous night’s revelry, and thus in- capacitated 10 render his usual day’s work— he is exposed to vice and dangerous tempta- tion—his morals and his health are endanger. ed—and he is every way rendered a less valu. able slave. I am persuaded that on many of these occa. sions where a good deal of fuss and liquor prevail there is not much corn shucked. There are, particularly about the town of Salisbury, a number of very drunken slaves, who make it a point to attend all these gatherings. These fellows make a good deal of noise—are very insolent, and do but little work. I am satis- fied that it would be greatly to the advantage ot their owners to keep them at home, and no loss at all to the neighborhvod farmers who | are honored with their presence. I sugyest that a stricter discipline be adopt- ed during the corn shucking season. That no slave be allowed to invite hands fo such meet. ings. That no slave from the town be per- mitied to go into the country, and that a patrol of each neighborhood be requiféd to attend and make a striet examination of every slave that goes to one of these shuckings.* It would be avery great gain to the community if the fash- ion, as it now prevails, could be dispensed with—but it has got so incorporated into the customs of society, that a sudden reform in this respect cannot be looked for—but every con- sideration of prudence and safety require that Mere caution and a stricter supervision be had over these corn shuckings. THE FUGITIVE SLAVE BILL. Great excitement has been caused in some portions of the country by the ope- rations of the Fugitive Sl..ve law. Ar- rests of alledged slaves have been made at Pittsburg, New York and elsewhere, the slaves in each instance being safely returned to their masters. The alarm a- mong the colored population is so great that numbers have taken up the line of march for more safe and distant quarters. Any inconvenience experienced by those “Fugitives from labor,” all excitement, threats and outrages against the peace of the country, the safety of the Union, with the increased hardship or anoyance to the blacks, here or in the South, have all been brought about by those bitter foes of the slave, the ultra-abolitionists. This is the legitimate fruit of that ultra-abolitionism which, in its blind zeal, has proved the slave's greatest curse, without having yet realized one solitary particle of good, either to the black man or the white. An evidence of the utter want of every real sympathy with the colored man, was seen last week when $800 was raised in the city of New York to restore the fugi- tive slave to his family in that city. the sum which secured the return of this colored man, not one cent was raised by the abolitionists. This was not a case of buying a slave to take him out of bondage, thereby aid- ing to strengthen slavery, the plea behind Which abolitionism always shelters itself when appealed to, but an effort torestore | the man to his family and friends in a free tate. The heartless refusal to aid in such a cause shows that discord, disunion and anarchy, a reckless hostility to the great cause of universal emancipation, the rights, liberty, and hapiness of the uman race, is more the object with these unhappy agitators, than any real sympathy or care for the colored man.

The State was ably repre- sented by John A. Gilmer and Hugh Waddeil, denhall and James T. Morehead. Esqs. Great latitude was allowed by the Court to the de. fendants’ Counsel, and every disposition shown to give them a fair and impartial hearing ; and no one who witnessed the zeal and ability of the counsel for the defendants can accuse them of not discharging their whole duty towards their clients. The pampblet on the circulation of which the charge was founded, and which was read in evidence, contained a sort of running commen. the violent and canting language of the aboli- tionists, and intended to show that slaveholders live in the habitual violation of all said Com. mandments. ‘The essential point of evidence wag the proof that McBride, on leaving the hole of Mr. Kenedy where he and Crooks had staid all night, put this pampblet into the hands of Mr. K.’s daughter, a little girl ten or twelve | years old. Afier the arguments of eounsel, and a clear and intelligent charge from ‘the Judge, admit. ted on both sides to be impartial, at a late hour the jury retired and regnained together all night. At the opening of the Court on Saturday morn. _ ing the jury came in with their verdict of Guil- ty as to McBride, and not guilty as to Crooks. | [We may here remark that there was no evi- | dence adduced before the Court against Crooks, | except his association with McBride. } The Judge proceeded to pronounce against McBride substantially the sentence prescribed in the statute, viz: inprisonment for one year, in the pillory for one hour, and twenty lashes. The defendant took an appeal to the Supreme Court.

The Portsmouth Pilot says that ‘‘ the enter- | prise for establishing a Virginia Ocean House _upon the Atlantic, near Cape Charles, has torm- ed a nucleus—and that President Falls of the | Baltimore Steam Packet Company, with Mr. | | boys.” | Wise and several gentlemen,.ofNorfolk and | Portsmouth, have reconnoitred and found a de. | lightful and commanding site for the purpose | —one susceptible of the fullest improvement _and far surpassing in advantage the celebra.- ted resort at Capé May. ‘The Pilot urges the | immediate erection of suitable hotel buildings.” | We headthis paragraph * another remedy for | the South,’ because we look upon every dollar of | Southern money which can be kept at home, | instead of being squandered in luxury and ex- travagance in Northern watering places, as | giving so much additional strength to the South. | ‘Phousands upon thousands of Southern money have been spent during the past summer at Northern wat2ring places which might have been retained at home.

C., Oct. 9, 1850. ° To the Editor of. the Register : The Hon. T. L. Clingman, M. C., made bie appearance to-day on the public square, to give an account of his political stewardship toa large and intelligent auditory. Such had nev- er before been the custom of Members of Con- arent as we are aware, from this Distict, but the great dissatisfaction expressed pretty gen- erally with Mr. C’s course seemed to render such a step tiecessary on his part. We wish to say nothing disrespectful to the Hon. M. C. —but in the estimation of candid men, be sig- nally failed, with all the special pleading he was master of, and all the appeals to sectional feeling that a Congressman fresh from debate could devise tc satisfy the minds of the people. A powerful revulsive feeling has begun against him, which will sooner or later issue in. Mr. Clingman’s overthrow. We are sorry to say so—for Mr. C. is a man of talents, and if bis patriotism was only as deep as his ambition, he would be a valuable auxiliary to any party— have no faith in the politician. His slights of the Whig party were many and marked in the course of his speech—and his complaints to the worthy democrats scattered about ia de- lightful profusion. But I must give him credit to.say, that he still speaks of “our party’— meaning, I suppose, tue Whig party. -He thinks that old lines of party will be broken up on the late great issues before the country— and he evidently is preparing to be a clingman to the largest fragment. But he is plainly mis- taken as to the great conservative National Whig Party. ; When Mr. C. tcok his seat, Mr. Baxter, of Henderson arose in reply. Mr. Baxter is one of our most sensible and practical Lawyers.— His ambition is confined within bis profession, and we hope he may one day wear the ermine of the Law. The speech of Mr. Baxter open- ed with an expose of friend Clingman’s course as far back as his abortive attempt to obtain the Senator-ship of this State. He playfully said—* that had Mr. Clingman been an older and more experienced man, and no better qual- ified man had presented himself. he would have voted for him had he. been a member of the Legislature, in consideration of his great per- sonal kindness for Mr. C.” This effort of Mr. B’s has placed him high among the friends of the Union and the true friends of the South.— He showed how Mr. Clingman’s votes in Con. gress were given on the same side with Gid. dings, Seward, HaJe and Chase, and with withering effect, he charged home upon our M. C. his disorganizing, disunion efforts du- ring the past session, dud the croakings of a factious spirit in the midst of our national re- joicings. Buncombe is right side up—and we rather think, if we can start any sort of a man the next time, somebody will be keel hauled under the shjp of State. By the way, the Hon. M. C. forgot not to tell us that the Editors of that truly national papér—the “ Washington Intelligencer”—were Englishmen with Eng- lish sympathies—the Union Newspaper he thought more friendly to the South; but that would not do—it was the Southern Press, that was the great Paper for us to read, and we were lacking in our duty to the South, if we did not read and con over its pages till they were. well got by heart and éo heart. Oftall ‘ Presses’ deliver us from this ‘ South- ern Press’ Humbug—soon to be among the things that were, ‘a school-boy’s tale, the wonder of an hour.’ But good-bye, Mr. Ed- itor, “till you hear again from OLD BUNCOMBE. DODGING THE BALLS. We make the fdllowing amusing extract from “Recollections of a Campaign, by one who saw the Elephant,” which we find in the Illinois State Register. It has reference to the siege of Vera Cruz: The morning afier the flag had been so tri- umphantly raised upon the hill overlooking the city, was a busy one to those who had kept watch and guard over that estimable treasure during the night. Scarce was it light enough to recognise your fellow sentinel from a pile of sand, ere the * villainous salipetre” was again put in requisition from every fort in the city, from the castle out in the sea, and the escopetes and muskets of the lancers and infantty, who occupied the hills. It fairly rainediron. The men dug trenches in the light sand with their hands as a sort of protection from the balls of the foe. Dodging the balls” was also much in vogue, and many were the twists and turns, the fall- ing down and the rising up, the jumps, the leaps, and the jokes that were practised by “the It was the most serious game of “ cor- ner ball” I ever saw played. ‘This thing of dodging cannon balls may sound strange to the reader, but it is no less strange than true.— Now, to attempt to dodge or get out of the way of a musket ball, or even a six pound shot, I admit, would be no easy task, but to move backward or forward, to the right or left, and thus escape one of those tremendous 68 pound. ers, that we were favored with from the castle, was as easy as “falling off a log.” The dis. tanee fired was somewhat over two miles, and the course of those “monstrous shapes of death,” could readily be distinguished froa its culiar humming sound, and as it neared the hill its black ungainly visage was distinctly visible. It was amusing to see the gyration, and the ground and lofiy tumbling of our black hero, Sam on this o¢casion. Poor Sam’s heroiearat length could stand it no longer. As the sharp, quick, cutting—tsit—tsit—tist—of the mushet balls would fly over his. head, he would throw up the whites of his eyes like a duck in a thunder.storm, and cry out: “Lord a massy, bress dis nigger.” ‘Good Lord, dat was close.” And asa largé ball would strike the tops of the bill and throw up 'a-pertect column of sand, Sam would throw bimself flat ow his face and lay still f@two of three minutes, for fear, as he said, “de black rascal might burst.” At last Sam wat missed *frour the bill, and -af- but as it is, we must in candor say, that we | | carried him, at a rapid rate, to Redding. From were relieved and were filing off to the rear ot. the hill, the colonel accidently caught sight of a pair of shoes sticking out from beneath a huge pile of sand. Upon closer investigation, a pnir of feet, with legs to them, then a body, and presently Sam’s wooly head was disinter- red, -“ You black villain, what are you doing here,” said the colonel. “ Why, look heah, colonel, I don’t care for the escopet and muskets—much, or de six pounders and de, shot of dat size—but when de dam Mexicans begin to shoot de reg’lar Penn. sylbany Dutch ovens, by golly, [ think its time for all nigger servants to hide ’em diminished heads.” There was more truth than poetry in Sam’s idea of the size of a sixty-eight pounder. FLYING MACHINE. The practicahility of navigating the air by means of a flying machine, has been satisfac. torily demonstrated and settled, as he thinks, by Mr. John Taggart, of Charlestown, Mass., who, the N. Y. Evening Post says, is at pres- entto be seen with his invention in Dunlap’s Hotel, 135 Fulton street. The flying machine consists. ofa car, to the front of which is at. tached'a pair of wings somewhat like the screws used by propellers, and a float or balloon fas. tened to the car in the ordinary way at an ele- vation of six or eight feet. ‘The wings, which may be moved in any direction so as to assist in the ascent or descent of the machine, are put in motion by turning a small axle ranning through the centre of the car. The machine may be guided in any direction by means of a rudder, the slightest variation in which it obeys with wonderful precision. : The float or balloon, which is pear-shaped, is thirty-three feet nine inches in height, having a diameter of some twelve feet, andthe whole weight of the machine, when ready for ascen- sion, is three hundred and fifty pounds, in.ad- dition to which it will carry with ease over one thousand pounds. The inventor told us that he had already made one ascension in it, for the purpose of practically testing its powers. The ascent was made from the commons at Lowell, Mass., in the presence of a large number of spectators. Owing to some fault in inflating the balloon, a quantity of steam was allowed to intermix with the gas, thus greatly diminishing its buoyancy so that when the ropes which held it to the ground were cut, the machine ascended only to the height of a few feet, when it fell down, to the imminent peril of the occupant. After two or three ineffectual attempts, Mr. Taggart elevated the wings considerably above the line of the car, which had the desired ef. fect, and away went the machine, far above the heads of the spectators, until it had dwindled in their gaze to the size of a swallow. After attaining a considerable elevation, Mr. T. pro- ceeded in the direction of Lawrence, whence he passed to Andover and Bradford, over which latter place he struck a current of air which this again he passed to Salem, having crossed a portion of the sea in his passage from Red- ding, and alighted at a distance of nine miles of Lowell, acc «nplishing the whole voyage in an hour and twenty minutes. Mr. ‘Taggart says that at one time he had obtained an elevation where the air became so rarified that it was with the greatest difficulty he could retain his powers of animation ; his hands, and other parts of his body, swelled, and blood spurted from his mouth and nose. The invention, he tells us, has met with the support and countenance of several of the sci- entific. men in Massachusetts. It is the inten- tion of Mr. Taggart to make an ascent in this city, in the course of two orthree weeks. He has already invited some of our most eminent machinist, and men of science, to examine bis invention.—Peg. Intelligencer. THE COAD WHEAT. Our farming readers will remember a short notice, published in this paper early inthe sum- mer, of a field of remarkable Wheat, then rip- ening on the fartn of Edwin J. Cvad, of St. Mary’s county, Maryland, some ears of which we had seen, and the qualities of which we en. deavored to describe. In consequence of the publicity thus given to it, probably a great de- mand has arisen, all over the country, for sam. ples of this erop.and for seed wheat from it.— In a letter received from the proprietor of the field, he mentions one in which, in reply to in- quiries by a gentleman in Alleghany county, Pennsylvania, having sent him by mail a small sample of the wheat, he received, in acknowl. edgment, a letter, from which the fullowing is extracted ; . “*T have shown the specimens received to all our millers, and to a very large portion of the farmers, and, with scarcely an exception, they pronounce it the finest specimen of wheat they have ever seen. I am'not surprised to hear that you could have gotten twenty dollars for a sin- gle bushel of wheat ; for, bad I that much now at the present time, [ could easily sell it at a dollar per pound. I have been offered, over and over again, five cents per grain for the spe. cimen you sent me, which would amount to over twelve dollars. But its,scarcity makes it valuable,” &c, Fe . Even in Mr. Coad’s own neighborhood,.at home, enormous prices have been offered for it. We are glad to learn that he is making prepa- rations to seed a large crop this fall ; and, if no disaster befalle the crop, he will be able to sup- ply a good many demands.

At the same time ‘he “haile to steer away; but before the sound of his voice had ceased, the vessel, which proved Jo be the steamer Southernor struck us on our bowsprit, which, acted as a lever, pryed the bow. of the bark-wide open. I called out to learn whether. there was any danger, and the first answer came that there was none; but some one im. mediately cried that she was sinking. I was dressed, and running upon deck, where the passengers were fast assembling, several of us engaged for a moment in trying to Iaunch a life-boat, which hung on the starboard side, but betore she was uulashed the bow of the bark was deep under water, and none of us were able to stand. The ladies were all terrifies - ing for help and mercy; yet only one ne,man seemed to lose command of. himself. ose who could, immediately jumped overboard, and commenced swimming to get-away from the vessel before she went down; but no one had time to seize a plank or anything with which to sustain himself. ‘The vessel was so nearly perpendicular that I slid down to the mainmast, where, catching hold of a settee, I drew my- self with all my might toward the stern, in or- derto jump overboard. But I had scarcely time to catch hold of the rigging of the miz- zenmast before she went down, and the cries for help were drowned in the rush of waters made by the bark’s sinking. As we went down I commenced drawing myself up by the rigging, and when I had cleared myself from that, I continued to descend, being drawn down by the sinking vessel. Exerting myself to rise to the surface, till afier what seemed to me an age, I felt that I was no longer descending, since the rush of water had ceased. Although I as. cended rapidly, I was so long under water, that I was in a nearly exhausted condition when I gained the surface. As soon as I had cleared my stomach and lungs of water, I looked a- round to see where the steamer was, which had floated tar to the southeast. About one hundred yards to the southwest I observed sev- eral things afloat, towards which I started, and for the first fifteen minutes had nothing to sup- port myself with. I then found a board, about three feet leng and two wide, on which I rested for a moment, and took the first long breath.— During all this time, the cries of those who were trying to sustain themselves were most heartrending, and loud above all the others was clearly distinguished that of a female. I tried to throw off my coat and boots, but find. ing it impossible, turned out off my course to try to render aid to the lady. When near enough to see her, I called out to her take cour- age, telling her that I would soon be with her ; also not to spend her strength by calling for help, but to hold firmly to her plank, since she would soon be saved. She replied that her strength was almost gone, and that unless she was soon saved it would be too late. At that time, a man, a few’ yards from her, rolled off his plank, but whether he was previously dead or not could not be ascertained; be neither struggled nor gave a sound, but immediately disappeared. ‘The sea rolled so heavily, I couid scarcely swim against it, and it was at this time that some one of the floating planks or timbers struck against my side and arm, and threw me under water. Recovering myself, however, I turned to look at the lady, who was then-being carried on the top of a high wave, and holding firmly to her plank ; it rolled with her and she went under. But by an almost superhuman effort, she recovered her position on the plank again, and commenced calling for aid. She soon lost -her hold again and went down, but rising asked me to help hér, as she should soon go down, and when almost near enough to reach her plank, she gradually re- laxed her hold, and with one long gurgling cry disappeared forever. For the first time I felt desolate and disheartened, fearing Jest the steamer was going to leave us, and looked to. wards the land, but none could be seen. An- other man, soon after, went down near me cry- ing for help and mercy, and I began to think my last hour was at hand. Suffice it to say, that afier being in the water for more than three quarters of an hour, I was rescued by the steamer’s boats, yet, sad to relate, only nine were left to tell the mournful tale, twenty. four have gone to their final account. Of these, | on, be { which the steward with praiseworthy humani- ty, carried through the waves swimming with one hand, till no sign of life appearing, be left it.

HORRID MURDER. Committed in New Scotland, N. Y. When the murder of Dr. Parkman, by Dr. Webster, was made public, it seemed as if the climax of crime was reached ; but the murder of two innocent children for the purpose of be- coming possessed of a few hundred dollars, will outdo that on the score of brutality. It seems two orphan children bySthe name of Lester, were living with their uncle, who was strong. ly attached to them; this uncle had married a widow by the name of Dunbar, who had a son about 20 years of age, who had been married but a few weeks. Circumstantes seem to fix the murder upon this young Dunbar and bis mother, as follows : —On the day of the commission of the murder, the uncle of the children was absent on busi- ness, and young Dunbar had sent his wife to her fathers. During the day the mother sent the youngest child, a boy, to the barn where Dunbar was, when he was probably murdered, soon afier she sent the other, a boy of about eight years, out to call his brother, be was told by Dunbar that hie brother had gone to the woods, where he went to search for him, and was murdered. Upon the return of the uncle inquiry was made for the boys and he was told | that they were at some relations. ‘This ap- peased the unclo till morning, when, not find- ing the children any where in the neighbor. hood, be became alarmed and a general search was made by the vicinity : but it was observed that Dunbar was unwilling to engage in the search, and during the time a person who was watching the movements of Dunbar, observed that he went from the barn in a certain direc- tion towards the woods and looked in a partic- ular direction, as though firing his eyes upon something. By searching in that direction, the body ot the youngest child was found covered with stones and brush, and subsequently the other was found banging ina tree. When the bodies were brought into the house Dunbar ex- pressed an unwillingness to see them, which added to the suspicions already raised, and he was arreeted and held for trial. If he is guilty of committing these murders, as circumstances seem to indicate, it is certainly one of the most cold-blooded and eruel that we could have dreamed of. It seems impossible thai a human being could fur @ remote hope of a few hun. dred dollors thus marder two such yousg and inoffensive children ; the heart sickens gt the contemplation of the deed, and we make the Linguiry, was Ke a human being? Whoever may be the guilty party, we hope they will be brought to merited punishment.— Albany Cou- rier. BANK OF FAYETTEVILLE.

We learn from the Wilmington Aurora that about 700 free negroes have left that place for the Northera States, in conse- quence of the stringent measores | towards them ; and as magy more will leave in a short time.—N. Car. groes and id ev- ery where; and the attendants of them go armed to the teeth. Some distinguished persone are lending their influence, too, to these nullifica- tion movements, and no doubt a most desper- ate struggle is to ensue between these disor- ganizers and the true friends of civil Liberty in those States. Well, we shall watch the progress and turn of things with some anxiety, but litle fear as regards the final issue. The Law could never have been passed without the votes of Northern men. They were well con- vinced of its justice, and of the absolute neces- sity of its establishment, otherwise they would have voted itdown. It is hardly to be suppos- ed that the grea’ body of the Northern people will not sanction the course of their represen- tatives in a cause so manifestly just and so ob- viously demanded by every consideration of peace and prosperity to the Country. We shall expect, therefore, that whatever resistance may at any time be made to the faithful execution of the law, these weighty considerations will exert their due force, and that the free negroes and fanatics will be compelled to succumb to the laws of the-land. Should it prove other- wise, and the law be rendered inoperative by resistance of the character alluded to, the South will then have a most righteous com- plaint against her neighbors of the North, and should immediately take the necessary steps to secure her own protection, and to defend her rights; and that she will do it, there is no doubt. The African Repository.—We have receiv. ed the October No. of this work. Itis pub. lished at Washington, once a month by the American Colonization Society, at $1 00 per annum. It contains 32 pages of printed mat- ter, and is subject only to newspaper postage. ‘Those who fee) interested in the Colonization enterprize, and who desire information as it re- garde the rising Republic of Liberia, would find this journal to meet their wants exactly.— We are obliged to the publishers for the num- ber which they have sent us, and as we shall be pleased to extract from the work occasion- ally, we hope the Repository may be continued to us. The cause of colonization, twenty or more years ago, was ardently cherished in all this re- gion of country; but the intemperate zeal of Northern abolitionists had the effect of most completely arresting its progress. For many years no effort in its behalf, worthy of the name, was made. We rejoice, however, that the het. ter judgment and feelings of the people are re- turning to the subject, and that it is evincing itself by liberal contributions to carry on the work. The péople here seem to have con- cluded that the wrong-doing of others in the North, is no justification for idleness on their part. We notice, in the “ Repository” that the Rev. Jesse Rankin, who is a collecting agent of the American Colonization Society, is cred- ited by tha sum of $133 75, which he has col- lected at Salisbury, Gold-Hill, Statesville, Bethany Church, Tabor Church, Lexington, Jamestown, Greensborough, Wilkesborough, New Market, Taylorsville, and Pioneer Mills. This, we presume, is but a small part of all his collections—the amount raised since the pub- lication of the September Nu. of the ‘ Repo- sitory,” probably. It is matter for sincere rejoicing to find this cause growing in the affections of the people. It is one which involves the happiness of two races,—the white and the black—and must affect the destiny of two Republics—our own and the rising Republic of Liberia. Congress should come to the rescue hege, and we doubt not, from present appearances, that the time is not distant when Government aid will render more efficient the present efforts of private en- terprise to further this cause.

New York, Oct. 9, 1859. Dear Watchman :—A mass meeting of the colored population of the Empire city, was beld in the Park on Saturday afternoon. ‘The two pridcipal objects of the meeting were to open. ly disavow any regard for the Fugitive Slave Law, and to welcome the Baltimore fugitive slave, Hamlet, on bis restoration (o freedom. Hamlet, you will recollect is the negro who left bis mistress in Baltimore about two years ago—came to this cily and has been running at large ever since ; until the new law was passsed, when he was seized, and [ believe the first one carried back to his owner under that law. Experience having taught the fellow that he could not better his condition here, he was well enough satisfied to return to his mistrees ; for he said himself that he runaway from her through the persuasions and promises of cer- tain Abolitioniats, who failed to do any thing for him after they had got him off. _ There was considerable speechifying while the meeting lasted, and the darkies were all advised to arm themselves with Bowie knives and revolvers and to defend their liberty with their lives. Upon the whole it was 4 rich scene, and partook fully, both of the Judicrous and ridiculous. The negro here is the negro still; and a man might as we)l try to make the lion wear a pleasing countenance or a mule sing to the tune of Old Hundred as to make him anything else. If the North would let the South and the ne- groes alone, and sympathize with, and do some- thing more for, their poor Irish servante, it would be better not only for the two sections of the country, but for the negroes themselves. Northern men rail out in voices of thunder against the institutions of African®slavery, yet they take advantage of the inabilities of the poor oppressed sons of Ireland, ‘and make slaves (or servants as they call them) of them, and no one ever even whispers a word in dis- approval of it. I know it is a current report in the South that the Northern people attend to all their far:ins and household affairs them- selves, but it is not so; it is done by their Irish servants, who being among them, and not being able to do otherwise, are obliged to accept of such offers as the owners of property feel disposed to make them. As for my part, I think I bad, excepting the color, just as leave be a Sambo or Dina in the South, asa Patrick or Rosa atthe North. The difference between the position of either, would not I think be more in point of importance than that. “ Twixt tweedle-dum and tweedle-dee.” , Yours truly, ¢ A. P. THE GREAT UNION MEETING.

The meeting on Tuesday, the proceedings of which will be found in our columns this morning, was acknowledged by all to have been the largest political meeting ever held in Mobile. ‘There is no mistaking this demon- stration. A large majority of the voters of Mobile county were present and put their seal of reprobation on the odious doctrine of seces- sion and all other schemes for the dissolution of the Union. Under the broad banner of the Union, Whigs and Democrats met harmonious- ly together, forgetting all party differences, and pledged themselves to each other to make com- mon cause in defence of the constitution as it is and the Union as it is. We have no room to-day for comment on this glorious meeting. Our columns are too much occupied, and we shall defer to another occa- sion the remarks we intended to make.

ANTI-FUGITIVE SLAVE LAW MEET. ING. Bosron, Oct. 15. There was a large meeting last night io Faneuil Hall of citizens, in opposition to the Fugitive Slave Law. The Hon. Charles F. Adams presided. A letter was read from the Hon. Josiah Quincy, Senr, stating his inability to be present from physical infirmity. He thought that the new Fugitive Slave Law would be as inoperative in Massachusetts as was the law of 1793. He counselled the fugitives to remain quiet; that the sentiment of Massachw- , setts was undoubtedly against the law. Frederick Douglass, Wendell Phillipe, James A. Briggs of Cleveland. Ohio, Wm. B. Spoon- er, merchant of this city, Charles Redmond, Theodore Parker, and Rev. J. M. Colver, ad- dressed the meetipg. A series of resolutions were unanimously adopted, condemning the law as unconstitation- al, and advising the fugitives to remain here, as there is no fear that they will be taken back to bondage. The fugitives who had fled, were advised to retfrn ! Near the close of the meeting, when the Hall was about half full; a resolution proposed by the Rev. Mr. Colver, that constitution or no constitution, law or no Jaw, we will not allow a fugitive to be taken from Massachusetts, was adopted. A large committee of vigilance was appoint. ed. The Baptists of New York on the “ Fugitive Slave Law.” The New York State Baptist Convention, which met at Brookport on the 9th inst., Rev. Gibbon Williams in the chair, paseed a series of resolutions repudiating the fugitive slave law as contrary to the spirit of the Declaration of National Independence, and opposed to the direct grants of the Constitution to every citi- zen, and to the Law of God. - And as such, they pledge themselves not voluntarily to aid y any means whatever, in giving effectiveness to the law, for the speedy repeal of which they will do everything that is in their power. RIOT AT CAMDEN. There was much excitement at Camden, N. J. on Sunday and Monday, iu consequence of a mob of negroes rescuing a colored fellow, charg- ed with stealing, from an officer, they believing him to be a fugitive slave. It was as much as the Mayor, Sheriff and police could do, to pre- vent a violent mob. A police officer had a pistol presented at his head, and another had a large knife drawn upon him. Several colored per. sons, who assisied the officers, had subsequent- ly to flee for their lives from the fury of the mob. The thief was re-captured, and (bree of the leaders in the riot arrested.

PROSPECTUS UF THE NORTH CAROLINA STAR. VOLUME XLI. A Weekly Family Newspaper, published in Raieigh. We have recently been at considerable expense to en- large and otherwise improve the ‘Star,’ and we trust a liberal public will remunerate our endeavors to please by a generous and cordial support. It is now the larg- est sheet in the State—printed on new type and fine paper well filled with original and selected articles of choice reading. It is devoted to Foreign and Domes- tic News, Agriculture, Education, Manufactures and a just system of InTERNAaL ImprovemENTs. Mijd, but firm, in politics, it is a decided advocate of Whig prin- ciples; and ardent in its attachment to our glorious Union, it insists on Southern Rights as guarantied by the Constitution. To the North Carolina reader, especially, we hope to make the Star, a valuable and interesting newspaper. We have ever been acutely sensitive to the interests of the Old North State, and our most zealous labors shall be constantly directed to her moral, intellectual and physical advancement. A central position gives us great facility for collect- ing the local news of the State—election returns, Su- preme Court adjudications, &c ; and located, as we are, at the capital of the State; we are enabled to furnish lative proceedings. payment is delayed three months. Fifty cents during the session of the Legislature. subscription from $3 to $2,50 per annum in advance. The experiment is working well, but our accessions have not yet been sufficient entirely to repay us. We pro- pose, from and after the new year, to publish the Star at $2 per annum in advance, provided, that in the in- terval, we obtain 200 new subscribers. All that is ne- cessary to the accomplishment of this end, is that our present subscribers exert themselves a little in our be- half. The Legislature meets next month, and there is scarce a subscriber on our list who could not procure one new subscriber, at least for the Session. We are Public Printers for the ensuing General Assembly, and will be able to give the earliest and most authentic re- ports of its proceedings.

Section 1. No person shall hereafter | be allowed to vend or retail intoxicating | liquors or drinks, until he shall have exe- cuted to the Treasurer of the city, town or village in which he may reside, or carry on such business, a bond in the penal sum of one thousand dollars ; with two or more sufficient sureties, who shall be residents of the place where such bosiness is carri ed on. conditioned to pay all damages that community or individuals may sustain by reason of his or her vending intoxicating liquors, support all paupers, widows and orphans, made or helped to be made by his or her said traffic, and pay the expen ses of all civil and criminal prosecutions made, growing out of or justly attributa ble to his or her vending or retailing in- toxicating liquors or drinks, which bond shall be subject to the approval of the common council of such city, the super- visors of such town, or the trustees of such village. Provided they shall not be liable for any costs in suits, unless judgment be recovered against him or her upon the eause of action upon which the suit is brought; but they may recover costs as in other cases. ; It also authorizes, any married woman to institute suit for damages sustained by herself or children by suc’ traffic; and forbids the cognizance of suits for the re- covery of retail liquor bills, by any of the courts of the State. It any person be- comes a pauper and a public charge by intemperance, the person who, during the | Horrors of Avarice.—The Cincinnati ‘ | papers give as some singular facts con- The abominable ab- | nected with an old beggar woman named Elizabeth Morelock, whose death lately occurred in that city. She died in the night. and in the evening a lighted eandle was placed upon a stand beside the bed, her .idiot daughter, a frightful looking hunch-back, being the only attendant—— though for a part of the time, the physi- cian was present. The old woman open- ed her eyes, and perceiving the burning | candle, ordered it to be blown out, saying that she could not afford to pay for it.— When first taken sick she ordered the chest which was, after her death, found to contain nearly four thousand dollars in | gold, to be placed beside her bed, and she kept it within reach of herarms during the whole of hersickness; and when the death struggle came on, and she wastold she must die, she flung herself upon the chest. and clawed at it, in her wild avaricious frenzy until she tore the very nails from her fin gers, and thus embracing the ill gotten treasure. her spirit took its flight. An old stove in the room was found after her death, to contain a considerable amount of silver and copper coin carefully stowed away. The money and effects have been | | placed in the hands of an executor ap- pointed by the court. In 1840 when small change was scarce, this woman made a handsome speculation dy selling five bun- dred dollars’ worth at one time to a single individual. This money was accumula- ted by beggary, by herself and her idiot daughter. The latter was generally flog- ged upon her retarn home at night, when she did not make a good day’s work of it, and was always whipped before she was sent out inthe morning. The cries of the poor creature, while under the lash of her avaricious mother, have frequently exci- ted the indignation of the neighborhood. The poor idiot herself was afterwards un- der an attack of cholera, and is probably numbered with the dead.— Ez. AN OLD SAILOR TURNED FARMER. As an evidence that those who are broughtup from youth upon a farm, do not always make the best farmers, we will call attention to a place near Newburgh, owned and managed by a man who has spent the most of his life on the ocean.— And yet we venture to say that there is not a better cultivated farm in Orange county. We had the pleasure of a short visit to this farm, a few days ago, and a dinner of carp from his fish pond. It may be interesting to our readers to know that this stock of fish. together with gold fish. were imported from Europe by the pro- prietor,and are now rapidly multiplying in the Hudson. We saw the best piece of wheat upon six months preceding, has usually sold him liquor, shall be sued on his bond, and the person against whom a judgment shall be so obtained, is enrpowered to sue all per- sons engaged in the traffic, for contribu- tions toward paying the penalty. The act. throughout, is of the most stringent character, and will be very difficult to evade it by any of the tricks heretofore practised. POLICE REGULATIONS. this farm that we have seen this year; less injured by the drought than other pie- ces, and all because the land was plougb- ed deep, (never less than nine inches,) and well manured. To grow wheat or corn he prefers a Timothy sod, turned flat and never stirred afterward. He considers it equal to a good dressing of manure turned under ; and contends that the whole secret of suc- cessful farming, consists in manuring bountifully, and in deep ploughing. His rule of seeding wheat is two bushels to There is a growing feeling in this City in favor of abolishing the present system of a hired Guard, and of supplying its place with a regular nightly Guard draft- ed from the citizens. This feeling is the result of experience connected with our Police Regulations ; and we hope it may not be suffered to pass off without some salutary reform in this respect. We can have no doubt that the Town would be better guarded by the citizens than by the hired Guard, or by any simi- lar Guard; and it can be done, too, with- out expense. Let every citizen between the ages of eighteen and seventy be en- rolled in companies of six, with some re- sponsible man for a Captain; and let them take the rounds in regular order, from Dight to night, reporting next morning as a matter of course, to the Intendant. No eitizen who is able to turn out, ought to object to it; but if any should decline to serve, without a good excuse, let them be fined one dollar in each case for the ben- efit of the City Treasury. We hope those who are in favor of this reform will prepare petitions at once, get them signed, and send them in to the Board of Commissioners. The next meet- ing of the Board will be held the first Fri- | day in November. While on this subject, we would call the attention of the public generally to the facts set forth in another column of this paper, by our correspondent “ Viator.” The evils of which he complains are not only of the most serious nature, but they are increasing ! Let this matter be look- ed to at once by the competent authori- ties; and if these authorities, from a lack of information on the subject, or from any Other eause, are still inclined to indiffer- ence or supineness on this subject, jet an aroused public opinion compel them to their daty, hd f If the people of this State wish—as we know they-do—to have their Police Reg- the acre—never less—and with the wheat half a bushel of Timothy seed. He says that Timothy, for grass or hay, is better | than clover, that cows will leave clover ‘to eat Timothy, and that they will make | more and better butter upon it than clover, | and he has considerable experience, keep- | ing fifty of them. | The dairy is in charge of a farmer, who | carries on the place upon shares, and gives | the proprietor sixty-seven pounds of butter per annum, for each cow. The milk is kept in an underground room of the farm house, which is regulated, in cold | weather, by a stove, at a tempera- ‘ture of 65 degrees F. In summer, when cool, it is kept as near that as pos- ‘sible, and the milk churned early every | morning, in four barreled dasher churns. | by horse power. It takes twelve or fifteen quarts of milk to make a pound of butter, 'which, when sold, averages twenty-five cents a pound, and the milk is worth two cents a quart. | When this farmer took us to see his pens of handsome Lancashire porkers, that 'gethalf of their living from buttermilk, we acknowledge that it was better to | make butter than sell milk: for, in addi- tion to the pork, there was a valuable lot | of hog-pen manure, to make more grass to | make more butter, and so on a continual | round. NAPIERIANA. The “ Englishman” (India paper) of the 28th June gives the following :— “We have read several very character- istic letters, which we regret we are not permitted to publish; but one has just been handed to us for that purpose, and we accordingly subjoin it. The affair, as related to us, is as follows:—A Mr. Mor: gan, employed in a public office, in send- ing a small sum due to Mr. Rowe, ad- dressed him as Sergeant Rowe. The ser- jeant’s better half was incensed at this, he being a tailor by trade, and employed in the clothing department, and probably ex- pected to be addressed esquire. She wrote an angry letter to the offender, who, ¢on- sidering the sergeant implicated, com- plained to the commanding officer of the station, and not obtaining the redress ex- pected, forwarded his complaint to the 'Commander.in-Chief, from whom he re- ceived the following reply, which we think would have been recognised with- out the signature :— Camp, 18th April, 1850. Sir,—I have received your complaint, and your very sensible remarks on Mrs. Sergeant Rowe’s letter. There is, as you say, nothing disgraceful in being a ser- geant, any more than being a tailor; which, by your letter, Sergeant Rowe ap- pears to be. My opinion is that he who wears a uniform is of higher rank than he | who makes it, and the sergeant is, in my mind, much higher in ran’ of the two! all soldiers are gentlemen, and tailors are on- ly tailors! But it seems that Mrs. Rowe thinks otherwise, and prefers being a tail or’s wife to being an officer’s wife. Now, in my opinion, a lady has a right to hold ber own opinion on these matters, and I. am unable to give you any redress, be- cause my commission as Commander.in- Chief gives me no power to make ladies apologise for being saucy, which is an un- fortunate habit they fall into at times, and more especially those who are good-look- ing, which I suppose Mrs. Sergeant Rowe happenstobe. Asto the sergeant having written the letter, that is neither here nor there. Some husbands cannot help doing as they are ordered, and he may be inno- cent of malice. The only thing that I can do, is to advise you to apply to your supe- rior, the collector and magistrate of Far- ruckabad, who will represent the insult which has been put upon you by Mr. Ser. geant Rowe (as you state), and, if possible Maj. Tucker will endeavor to persuade the lady to apologise for calling you an ass. More than give you this advice I cannot do. C. J. NAPIER, Commander.in-Chief. N. C. WATERING PLACES. Our people will learn after a while, it is to be hoped that in North Carolina we have as fine springs, as beautiful scenery and as majestic mountains, as adorn any other country on this green earth. Then, too, we have as picturesque, and, we are sure, quiie as terrible and grand ocean scenes as any other State on the Atlantic coast. Yet with all these attractions to the gay and invalid they will leave the pure air of their native State and spend their money to fatten the thankless Yan- kees who revile them as unchristian and tyranical knaves.

N. C. Star. HEAR! HEAR! If there is any thing that calls for sympathy, aid, or furtherance on the ground of philantbro- py, it is the temperance reformation; for that aids almost all other Associations, and would render many entirely unnecessary. Not half our poor-houses would be needed were it uni- versally triumphant ; not half our private char- ities; not half our orphan asylums, or insane hospitals. Most philanthropic. societies are mere palliatives. Temperance, are prevent- ives and cures. They seek to prevent the evil from existing ; or, if exists, to remove it at once, by drying up its fountains. And there is no objection brought against this which may not be brought against every other philanthrop- ic association in the land. If this is wrong, they are wrong; for both seek the renovation of physical and moral evil. If this is unneed. ed, so are they ; for without this, many of them are utterly vain, and can effect nothing. A Hard Hit !—In a speech at Macon, Ga., in which he advocated temporary secession ‘from the Union, R. Barnwell Rhett, is reported to have said: ** You may hang up a copper in Hell, and the Yankees will plunge in afier it !” To this we find the following severe truthful retort in the Macon Journal : Well, this may be true, or may not. But, pray, how much worse would that be, than for a great leader of the self-styled Southern party to change off his ancestral name for money 7— | And yet we learn that one Robert Barnwell | Smith, of South Carolina, some few years since, changed his name from Smith to Rhett—mere- ly to enable him to inherit a fortune !” says :—Last Monday a stranger made applica. tion to our city grave digger for employment. He was al once set to. work digging a grave, which he completed betore evening. He was paid one dollar for his job, and feeling unwell went to bed. During the sueceeding night he died, and in the morning was. buried in the same grave which buta few hours before his own hands had dug ! We were unable to Jearn the name of the unfortunate man or any part of his history, save the sad part here re- corded. He died among us a total stranger. Romantic Story.—The Evansvi'le Journal | BOUNTY. LAND BILL. We poblish at length, from the Washington City papers, for the benefit of the soldiers, their widows and children, the following important information connected with the Bounty Land Bill passed by the late Congress. We present, first, the letter of Mr. Stuart, the Secretary of the Interior, on the subject ; and next the forms to be observed by persons interested. ‘ These forms,” says the Wash. ingiou Republic in laying them before the pub. lic, * will, with the military rolls, be deposited in the clerk’s office of every county. The evidence of service and discharge being thus accessible, together with the forms necessary to verify the claims, the simplest business knowledge will be sufficient to fill up and forward ao application fora warrant, and to direct, if necessary, the location by the Commissioner of the General Land Office : “ DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR. October 3, 1859. THE BOUNTY LAND BILL. The Congress of the United States, at its late session, having, in a spirit of justice and liberality, passed an act, “granting bounty land to certain officers and soldiers who have been engaged in the military service of the United States,” the President has esteemed it no less a privilege than a duty to adopt all the means in his power to give prompt and eff. cient operation to this beneficent measure. I deem it proper, therefore, to announce to those entitled to the benefits of the law, that, with his sanction, | have caused all the neces- sary forms and instructions to guide claimants in applying for and obtaining their rights, to be prepared, and they are now in the hands of the printer. Atthe earliest practicable moment, copies of these papers will be forwarded to each member of Congress, and to the clerk of the court of every county in the United States. It will be his purpose to administer the law in such manner as to make it what Congress designed it to be—a bounty to the soldier, and not to agents and speculators. The forms and the mode of proof have there- fore been made as simple as possible, and eve- ry facility will be afforded to applicants to es- tablish their just demands. Clerks are now engaged in preparing from the rolls on file, cer- tificates of service, in order that those who have not received discharges, or have accidently lost them, may not be disappointed in obtaining their just reward. The policy of this law, in all its provisions, is to discourage speculation in the claims of soldiers. ‘The act provides “ that all sales, mortgages, letters of attorney, and other in- struments of writing, going to affect the title or claim to any warrant hereinbefore provided for, made or executed prior to the issue, shall be null and void to all intents and pyrposes whatsoever; nor shall suchcertificate or war- rant, or the land obtained thereby, be in any- wise affected by, or charged with, or subject to, the payment of any debt or claim incurred by such officer or soldier prior to the issuing of the patent.” In his judgment, the issue contemplated in the body of the above-recited clause of the law, is the issue of the patent—consequently all sales, transfers, assignments, and incumbran- ces of soldiers’ land claims, made before the emanation of the patents, are void, and will be disregarded by the government. Speculators are therefore admonished that they can acquire no rights by purchase which will be recogniz- ed by this department. I feel it to be my duty, also, to warn the frank and confiding soldier against the arts and devices of agents, who will seek to exagger- ate the difficulties of obtaining the land, in or- der to enhance their own charges. The evi- dence of service exists among the archives of the country. In nine cases out of ten the only proof required will be of the indentity of the. applicant, or of marriage and widowhood, or heirship. These are facts readily prover, and therefore the difficulties wiil in most cases be merely nominal. And to remove even these slight obstacles, and to give more full and com. plete effect to the munificence of the govern. ment, I beg leave respectfully to recommend to the proper authorities of each county and town. ship to employ a suitable agent, at the expense of the county, to supervise the preparation of the applications and proofs of claimants. The ignorant and unwary would thus be protected from imposition, the poor soldiers from burdens they are not able to bear, and the government from many embarrassments which may result from awkwardness of incompetent agents. In conclusion, I desire to say that great care wil] be used to guard against undue preferences of one class of applicants over others. With this view, at the proper time, a sufficient num. ber of clerks will be employed to issue the certificates with the least possible delay, so that all may have an equal chance of making advantageous locations.

The object of the law is to confer the right to the Jand itself on the warrantee or his heirs.

Pierce, for the prisoner, asked that the casa be postponed until a future period, to afford an ops portunity to Charles Gibbons to attend as coum. sel. ‘ Judge Grier said: That this was, to be sug a summary proceeding, yet he desired=to give’ the prisoner an opportunity to be ‘properly fended; and if he proceeded ia e@,ediny mauner, it would be owing to the il adviee t colored population were now receiving. -» said he bad read in the papers of meetings be-, ing held, at which resolutions were passed ads, vising and urging the culored race to arm {héms selves against the laws, and shoot down the fe. ficers of the law.

If he’ were to adjourn this case until this day, he-felt satisfied that (thousands of blacks would assem- ble, perhaps to resisi the laws. ‘This would compel him to send to the Navy Yard for their whole military force ; and true es God liveth, and my soul liveth, said the Judge, { will main- tain the law, though I bave to order every man who puts himself in armed opposition to its ex- ecution to be shut down. I will execute thé law as I find it at all hazards. It was here suggested that the laws of Pena. sylvania made it illegal to place the prison in any of its prisons. ‘The Marsbal agréed to keep the alleged slave until this day. The Judge said that if any mob should congregate black or white, with a view to resist the laws, would be repelled, even to the shedding of blood. ‘Fhe hearing of the case was then poste poned until this morning. » Aue ee The fugitive on Friday morning was again brought into court.

A correspondent of the National Era, relates the following :— “ A fact which I came in possession of @ couple of years ago may illustrate the @haracter of the New-Englanders, and reveal the origin of some branches of their profitable business, S W Was the son of a country clergyman, and was accustomed to laboring on a farm i summer, and keeping school in winter.— He was moral, industrious and frugal, took a wile possessing the same qual- together with a shrewd propensity to calculate all articles of living. One day her bosband brought home the cloth and trimmings for » new coat. The wife in- @uired the price of the buttons, which she ne were made of cloth ‘lasting,’ or, fuliy ‘everlasting,’ covered on to dbatton moulds. Shethought she rd. as good a button, made by ,fortess money. The next day, like the.trve daughter of a Yankee, she ‘tried thing out.” .

He says: a “This clause (the one providing for the re- capture of fugitive slaves) was introduced into the constitution solely for the benefit of the slaveholding States, to enable them to reclaim their fugitive slaves who should have escaped into other States where slavery was not tolera. ted. The want of such a provision under the confederation was felt as a grievous inconven- ience by the slaveholding States, since in ma- ny States no aid whatever would be allowed to the owners ; and sometimes, indeed, they meet with open resistance. It is obvious that these provisions for the arrest and removal of fugi- tives of both classes contemplate simmary min- isterial proceedings, and not the ordinary course of judicial investigations, to ascertain whether the complaint be well founded or the claim of ownership be-established beyond all legal con. troversy. In cases of suspected crimes; the guilt or innocence of the party is to be made out at his trial, and not upon the preliminary inquiry whether he shall be delivered up. Ail that would seem in such cases to be necessary is, that there should be prima facie evidence before the executive authority to satisfy its judgement that there is probable cause to be. lieve the party guilty, such as, upon an ordinary warrant, would justify his commitment far trial. “And in the cases of fugitive slaves there would seem to be the same necessity of requir. ing only prima facie proofs of ownership, wich. out putting the party to a formal assertion of his rights by a suit at the common law. Con. gress appear to have acted upon this opinion, and accordingly. in the statute upon this sub. ject, (that of 1793,) have authorized summary proceedings before a magistrate, upon which he may grant a warrant for removal.” Affections of a Dog.—The New York Courier says :—* A few days since a per- sonal friend, connected with this office, had the misfortune to lose his son—a fine intelligent, manly little fellow, not quite three years old. A King Charles spaniel had been in the habit of playing with him, receiving food from his hands, and bearing him company in his rambles and sports. While the little boy was sick the dog watched by the bedside. After he died, he missed him, and wandered all over the house, drooping and sad. The second morning after his death he took bis station at the foot of the stairs where he had been accustomed to meet him—— watched and waited for him a long time in vain, and at last laid himself down up- on the lower stair and died. Thus fine are the issues to which the nature even of brutes is often touched.” Extraordinary Substance found in the Stom. ach of a Horse.—A short time since a horse belonging to a Mr. Moates, of Spalding, Eng., died and was opened, when a stone about the size of a man’s head, or rather in shape and appearance exactly resembling the wig-block used by barbers, was found in the stomach.— It weighed eight pounds, and seemed as a flint stone, and extremely polished and beautiful.— Another stone, of the shape and size of a horse’s foot, was found in the stomach. These wonderful formations are produced in the sto. mach, ‘no doubt much in the same way as stone ia the bladder, a nucleus being first formed.— The polish would be caused by the motion of the stomach in the course of digestion, or per- haps by the friction of one stone against the other. How any animal could live and work with such productions within his stomach is most astonishing. A very large sum is offered for the productions.—Scientific American. Purvapevpara, Oct. 18.

THE RESOLUTIONS, Whereas, at a Convention of the Whigs of N. York, held at Syracuse on the 26th and 27th senting the two sections into which the party is divided, recommeaded the adoption of certain resolutions as a measure of compromise, and uniting and consolidating the Whig party, and thereby enable it to attain the great objects for which it was instituted : And whereas a portion of the delegates to the said Convention separated themselves from their fellows for the purpose of deteating con. ciliatory measures, and finally succeeded, by means of secret meetifgs and the exaction of pledges, in procuring the adoption of resolu. tions condemnatory of the great leaders of the Whig party, hostile to their established:prinei- ples, and uangerous to the union of the States: And whereas, in consequence of such action, the President and thirty-eight other members of the Convention seceded therefrom, and is- sued a call for another convention : Now, therefore, we, representatives assem. bled under the authority aforesaid, determined to maintain our connexion with the Whig par- ty of the United States, to support our present National Administration, and to stand by the Union and the Constitution and the Laws of the land, but being also desirous to act in uni- son with those of this State with whom we have hitherto acted, and being ready for that purpose to do whatever may be done without | dishonor or the abandonment of principle, do hereby declare our willingness tu accept, as a basis of union, and. renew the tender made of the compromise resolution rejected by the ma. jority of the Syracuge Convention, which reso- lutions were in the words following. [Here follow the resolutions referred to, as published in the Intelligencer of the 10th inst.} Resolved, That we approve of the acts pass- ed by Congress for the admission of California into the Union, the establishment of the bounda- ry of Texas, and the organization of Territorial Governments in New Mexico and Utah. That while those acts in all their parts are not such as we could have wished, yet regarding them as constituting a great scheme for the termina. tion of national controversies, the restoration of harmony to our national councils, and the pre- servation of the Union, we will stand by and maintain them, and there can be no union of the Whig party of New York upon the basis of a disturbance of the settlement thereby made. Resolved, That while as Whigs, and espe. cially as New YorR Whigs, we regard the el. evation of our fellow-citizen, MitLarp FIu.- MORE, to the office of President, with unmin. gled emotions of pride and pleasure, we recog. nise in him claims to our admiration and grati- tude higher than party and wider than the limits of a single State ; it has been his fortune to save his country from great and imminent danger ; he has his reward in a consciousness of rectitude and the approbation of the wise and good; the calumnies of the base are but the price paid by those who win for themselves imperishable fame. Resolved, That we heartily approve the choice made by the President of his constitu. tional advisers, in all of whom we recognize citizens eminent for their talents and virtues ; distinguished for their public services, and wor. thy, as men and as Whigs, to our entire con. fidence. Resolved, That we heartily approve of the course pursued by those members of the Syra. cuse Convention who withdrew from that body, and we give our full assent to the reasons as. signed by them for such withdrawal in their ad- dress to the Whigs of the State. Resolved, That, having confidence in the in- tegrity. ability, and sound Whig principles of the gentlemen placed in nomination by the Sy. racuse Convention, and those gentlemen not being pledged expressly or impliedly to the sup- port of the principles declared by that Conven. tion ; believing, from the public declarations of some and the known opinions of others, that the course pursued by the majority of that body does not meet with their approval; we hereby reccommend to the general support of the Whigs of this State for Governor, Washington Hunt ; Lieutenant Governor, Gen. J. Cornell : Canal Commissioner, Ebenezer Blakely ; State Prison Inspector, Abner Baker; Clerk Court of Appeals, Wessel S. Smith ; and we pledge to the candidates thus nominated our entire and hearty support. THE ADMINISTRATION. The annexed brief but comprehensive view of the character of the Administration, and of the estimation in which it is held by the whole country, is from that independent and excellent paper the Alexandria Gazeite. “ The course of the Administration is 80 em- inently national and patriotic that we see it is extremely difficult fur the opposition presses to direct any serious assaults against its meas. ures. It presents no points which are open to its antagonists, for it confines itself strictly to the proper discharge of its duties and the full execution of the laws. It does not go out of ite way toseek for popularity ; it does not trim its sails to catch any popular breeze ; it does not interfere with matters foreign to its legitimate business. We have an Administration that bas already given proof that it means well— and it is daily showing that it does well. As long as it pursues this course, it deserves the approbation of the people, however much it may be sought to be obstructed by the mere politicians of the day, who are forming combi- nations for selfish purposes.” The English Wesleyan Societies have increased 10,000 during the past year. days of September last, a committee, repre. nts of New York, } ional Intellig ) and trust that Bs | ig May soon he held, embracing ite patriotic purpose the gvod of all par- a; drawing forth from their retirement even hose wpright aod conservative citizens who do ‘not habitually mingle in political discussions— members of every profession and of every class of society. . ~ It is time for every patriot in the North to be up and doing, and to bethink himself of ex- erting whatever influence he may have in sti- fling the unfortunate agitation which has commenced anew, siace the adjournment of Congress, on the Fugitive Slave Question.— The moral effect of such a demonstration as is proposed wi!l be of the happiest character; a grand assemblage of the elder, the respectable and influential citizens of New York will be followed by numerous others, and all will show, what we have never doubted, that at the proper time the good sense and patriotism of the North will indignantly frown upon the mis- chief, whose murmurings are beginning to sound in our ears hoarse and ominous. Tt is time to let those unruly and inconsider- ate men who counse! resistance to the laws as flippantly as they might sey, “Go bite a cher. ry,” know that they mistake the intelligence and temper of their ueighbors, and that right. judging men are disposed and determined to echo the language of the firm and conscien. tious Judge Grier, in his noble declaration : “ As true as God liveth, and my sou) liveth, I will maintain the law, though I have to order | every man who puts himself in armed opposi- tion to its execution to be shot down. I will execute the Jaw as I find it at all hazards.” The New York Express refers to the tone, temper and character of the Cunvention at Uti. ca, and says that much feeling prevailed, min. gled with a high public spirit and a deep con. sciousness of the resposnibility which rested up- on that body; that no man present regretted what a minority had done at Syracuse, but that all recognized the duty to rescue the Whig par- ty of New York from the control of demagogues and to place it boldly and entirely upon the Na- tional Whig platform ; and that the sentiment was unanimous against the re-agitation of the slave questions setttled by Congress, and in fa- vor of the Union, the Constitution and a just administration of the laws. The Express adds : The hearts of the delegates were full of no. ble impulses, and as one man they -held out their hands to their Whig brethren everywhere. Some of the speeches were deeply impressive and told with great power upon the immense andiences which crowded the City Hall through the day. There was freedom, too, from all selfish motives and ambitious ends, which seem. ed to carry conviction toevery hearer. It was not office, nor honor, reward nor favors of any kind, which prompted the utterance of the no. ble sentiments which were heard with interest, and responded to with enthusiasm.’ A fervent affection for the Union, a determination to stand by the Constitution, a willingness to acquiesce in the measures of compromise which have be. come the laws of the land, resistance to contin- ued agitation, the extension of the right hand of fellowship to the Union Whigs of the South, an earnest wich that Congress might be ena- bled hereafter to put an end to a dangerous sectional strife, and to legislate upon questions affecting the welfare of the country, and the whole country, was the earnest desire of all the members of the Convention. A DEVELOPEMENT. Eagle § Bulletin of Rome (Geo.) says that, in his speech before the public meet- ing of the citizens of Floyd county on the 20th ultimo, “the Hon. John H. Lumpkin “stated that the bill introduced by Mr. “ Douglass, of Illinois, authorizing Califor- “nia to form a constitution to be admit- “ted as a State, was framed in consulta- “tion with Mr. Polk, and met his approval. “ Judge Lumpkin was then a member of ‘Congress, enjoyed the confidence of the “* Administration, and speaks from his own “ knowledge.” There can be no sort of doubt of the ac- curacy of Judge Lumpkin’s statement.— It is well known in Washington, and was notorious to the last Congress, that Mr. Polk was not only in favor of Mr. Doug- las’s bill. but extremely anxious for it to pass. We have heard that he and mem. bers of his Cabinet exerted all their influ- ence to secure the adoption of the meas. ure. Yet extremely orthodox Southern Democrats of to day tell us, that to make California a State is an outrage to which ifthe South submit, she will be utterly disgraced and degraded, and hurl anath- emas upon Gen. Taylor for following the course which Mr. Polk marked out before him !— Richmond Times. BENEFITS OF ADVERTISING. We learn with much pleasure, that our friend E. Myers, the enterprising merchant in Salisbury, who advertises in the Re- publican, sold, a few days since, to a wor- thy citizen of “old Lincoln,” a bill of goods amounting to over $700. The par- chaser is highly pleased with his bargain and when he needs another supply, he will be very apt to call again at the “Sign of the Red Flag.” Thus it is. The merchant who ad- vertises extensively, not only secures a large custom, which enables him to sell at short profits ; but he earos the charac- ter of an enterprising liberal hearted man, and people like to deal with him; while the close-fisted keeps their goods on hand until thay grow unfashionable, and be- come moth-eaten and, consequently un- saleable.— Cur.

North Carolina loves the Free Institutions of our Country, and she believes their safety is guarantied alone by the perpetuity of the Un- fon. Itis a holy Union, cemented with the best blood that ever crimsoned the field; and the day is far distant, we trust, when circum. stances of such an oppressive nature shall call her, so mach against her will, to despise that Union, and to seek its destruction: From the Greensboro’. Patriot. The Speech of Mr. Kerr in the Union meeting held in the court-house last Wed- nesday, give him a firmer anchorage in the affections of our people. Our people are right on that subject—reliable, firm, determined ;—the sentiment of devotion to the Union occupies in their hearts the next place to their religion ;—it was but natural that they should feel and manifest a warm and unaffected sympathy with Mr. Kerr in his eloquent and patriotic ex- pression of sentiment. Though Mr. K. had always been a whig—a zealous, untiring whig,—and was proud of his party; yet when the Union was endangered he had been made to forget party and party names. He looked upon Webster, Cass, Clay, Dicker- son, Foote; and others their great compeers, not as Whigs or Democrats, but as Amer- tcun Patriots associated in purpose and effort to preserve our Union, the palladi- um of human liberty. He alluded to the Northern and South- ern factions who qppose the Adjustment laws. They are willing to conceed noth- ing. Ask them what they propose ?—- They propose nothing. They stand by, like the genius of ruin ready to tear down and to scatter, for the gratification of sel- fish, envious, unholy ambition; not to build up and preserve institutions honor- able to our land. our race and mankind. Yes,—he begged pardon,—there was one proposition from the factionists, namely that made in the Charleston Mercary,— to dissolve the Union and form a league with England! The orator’s invective against the detestable toryism and treason of this proposition, was scathing. He believed the peorte were right upon this subject every where. He thanked God for that, and cared less for the politi- cians when he reflected in whose honest and pure hands our national safety was lodged. Notwithstanding the efforts of partizans and factionists—even under the influence of Seward or of Rhett, (for whom he had equal respect !)—he be- lieved he could go into any meeting of the people, carrying the star-spangled banner of the republic, and overawe disaffection and raise an overwhelming shout for the Union. The highest interests of the peo- ple, South and North, is in Union 3; and where their treasure is there will be their hearts also. Mr. K. wondered if there was any man in the country who was willing to under- take to get up party issues on these things —to peril the peace and safety of his country in an effort to make party capital! If there be any such man, he would do for a party hack—bat he was no patriot, and would betray his country the first op- portunity! He warned the people to put their foot on any such wretch, as soon as he should dare to raise his head above the dirt. He rejoiced that this meeting took place in Guilford, one of the greatest and most populous counties of the State. He re- joiced in the steady position of North Car- olina. Her firm and patriotic voice was regarded at Washington. Amid the turmoil and confusion and disaffection exhibited in some other States, and not- withstanding the appliances from with- out as well as within to seduce good old North Carolina, from her propriety,—not for one moment had she faltered. She stood erect and dignified, in the strength of her integrity and honor, an example for some of ber more proud and noisy sisters. He rejoiced to see Gov. Morehead presid- ing over this meeting, and to find his heart in the business—he had been the invincible leader of the Whig party in the State, and was now ready to be the lead- er of the Union party, and to devote his powerful talents and influence to the pre- servation of the national integrity. The orator expressed his gratitude to the Sen- ators and representatives in Congress who at last prevailed in securing an ad. justment of these exciting and dangerous questions. Mr. K. paid a high and well deserved tribute to Wm. A. Graham, a favorite son of North Carolina, now in the Cabinet at Washington. He knew him wel]—his patience, laborious habits, uusullied repu. tation, high integrity, great talents, un- questioned patriotism. He was proud of such & representative of North Carolina, in the General Government—especially in the present critical crisis of affairs.— If called upon to say on whom he could most cheerfally rely for a cool, calm, firm, unflinching performance of duty in trying times—he would say, Wm. A Graham. This tribute to Mr. Graham was most heartily responded to by the audience, who personally know him, and know the trib- ute just.

H. Enniss, that the Cider clause in the pledge of the Or. der, bas been the subject of contention and difficulty in some parte of the State. Some want it strickea out—some want to interpret itas applying to Newark cider alone—some one thing and some another. But we venture to say by far the greater portion of the Order are most decidedly satisfied with the Pledge as itis. They made up their minds to forgo ci. der, whether new or ofd, ‘tor the sake of the cause of ‘Temperance ; and we shall be slow to believe that opposition to that feature of the Pledge can ever atlain very alarming strengib. We do not believe there is a single member in Salisbury Division who is not entirely satisfied with the Pledge as it now stands, and who Would not resist any alteration from whatever quarter proposed, We learn from the same report also, that the Order is in a flourishing, prosperous condi: tion throughout the State. What good mes, who has permitted the subject of Temperance to oceupy any considerable portion of bis thoughts, but will rejoice to learn this fact. LETTER FROM MR. CLAY. The following is the letter from Mr. Clay in relpy to the invitation inviting him to be pres. ent at a barbecue, to be held at Lexington, on the 17th inst. at which members of both parties were to be present : AsHLAND, 10th Oct., 1850. Gentlemen :—I have received, with the live- liest feelings of thankfumess and gratitude, the friendly note which you did me the honor to ad- dress to me, inviting me to attend a {ree bar- becue which my neighbors and other (ellow citizens of Kentucky, Whig and Democratic, are preparing to. give on the 17th inst., as & testimony of their approbation of the public ser- vices of myself and other members of Congress, during the late protracted session in the adop- tion of measures intended to heal the divisions existing in the country, aud to secure harmo- ny and concord. During the arduous struggle in Congress, it was a source of great satisfaction and encour: agement to me to learn from Kentucky thal my fellow citizens in this State, without distinction of party, were almost unanimous in favor of those measures, so long discussed, which were designed to reconcile sectional differences and preserve the Union free from all danger. | am rejoiced, upon my return home, to find that | was not mistaken as to the state of public opia- ion in Kentucky. My Democratic fellow cili- zens have met and weleomed me with a cordi- ality and warmth not surpassed by the Whigs, and both parties have united in gratifying de- monstrations of their attachment and confidence It is highly honorable and consoling to ‘be patriotism of our country that, on such grea! and perilous occasions as that which occurred | during the late session of Congress, parties wil! lay aside all their divisions and strifes nd heartily co-operate in the preservation of tbat glorious Union, without we have no more gut": antee for the enjoyment of liberity, or any other political blessing, I cherish the hope and entertain the confident belief that the eysiem of measures passed bY Congress will finally he acquiesced in by tbe great body of the United States, and lead '0 quiet and tranquility. Maleontents ai the North and South may seek to continue or revive ®gi° tation, but, rebuked and discountenanced by ‘he masses, they will ultimately be silenced gene! ally, and induced to keep the peace. ; Having returned home, gentlemen, in deli- cate health, and greatly wanting repose, | should have preferred to avoid the ceremonies and ¢t- citement incident to the barbecue, eepecialy as that was not needed to assure me of the kind and friendly-feeling towards me, emtertained by passioned manner, roused into a glow the my neighbors and fellow citizens of al) parties: * of .

New York, Oct. 23, 1850. Dear Watchman :—All is political excite. | ment here at this time, but the “ noise and con. | fusion” is so great and the parties so awfully | split up that it is impossible to write with any definite certainty as to which will prove the | stronger at the ensuing election. | Quite a warm discussion is now on foot be. | tween our city and suburban papersas tothe ad- | vapiages and practicability of uniting the cities | of New York, Brooklyn and Williamsburg into | one political body, under one Municipal gov. | ernment and one name. The plan is certain. | ly an advisable one, and will, I think, be cur. | ried into effect. The Great American Fair is now in full tide | of exhibition at Castle Garden, and the display | there made of American arts and American | productions, ig truly wonderful and magnifi. | cent. The Roman Catholics and Fourierites of | this State and city, are straining every means | within their power to repeal the Free School Law ; and since His Holiness the Pope has | been graciously pleased to promote the Right | Rev. Bishop Hughes to an Archbisbop, they | have set about it with double zeal; and there | are, 1 am sorry to say, some prospect of ac. complishing their wicked designs. If a person may be allowed to judge of the enterprize of a State from the number and quality of public improvements which its in- habitants propose to make, I should think that | North Carolina has now come to the conclu. | sion to shake off her lethargy and inertness, | and had fully determined, if not to go ahead, at least tc equal some of her neighboring States, in developing her Agricultural, Manufacturing, Commercial and other resources, which nature has so abundantly provided for her ; and which have, hitherto been unknown beyond her own boundaries. Now is the time forthe old North State to aspire to a high, a permanent and an impor. tant position among the other States of the Un. jon, and she cannot go about it in a more ef. fectual manner than by carrying out the vari- ous projects of State improvement now con. templated. Never, as I conceive, has there been a period in the history of North Carolina of more moment and immediate importance to | her citizens than the present. Yet it is said | of many, and is undoubtedly true of some, that | { | they exhibit the utmost indifference concerning ‘the great closing speech of Mr. Clay of | Beef. the 22d July, had confessed a change of her enterprises. What blindness! I have even been told, by a gentleman from your State, that there is some doubt as tothe ultimate suc. | cess of the Great Central Rail Road—that an altempt will be made by your next Legislature | to embarrass its progress, Solomon said there was nothing new under the sun.

They should | not murmur—for his mission on earth is now accomplished—and his Father wants him, for his mansion on high. His sun of life is set- ting, but it is soon to rise again upon a much brighter and fairer region. He is about to put off the frail and mean garb of mortality, to take upon himself, that of immortality which will be ever-endurable and refined. He has found out that neither poverty nor wealth— ease nor labor, prosperity nor adversity, world. ly glory nor obseurity, are the fountain-head of true happiness—but a life devoted to the ser- vice of God; this has rendered him secure from the goardings of conscience in the gloomy hour of death. Conscious that he has acted aright—conscious that he has heretofore dis- charged faithfully the duties of a husband, a parent, and a friend—that as a husband he has been kind and loving ;—as a parent he has shown his children the true secret of a happy | life, and now teaches them how to die ;—and | as a friend, has been attentive to the spiritual | as well as corporeal welfare of his bosom as. Who thar has thus lived Who that thus he cares not to die. that could not die happily? dies, cannot enjoy the consciousness that he- | will live in the memory of surviving friends, | long after his body shall have mouldered inthe | dust. ‘To obey the commands of conscience is | wisdom, and in such a scene as this how vivid. ly are the delightful consequences of such obe- dience portrayed !

It is stated by the New Hampshire Patriot that four-fifths of the prominent | men whose names were attached to the letter to Mr. Webster, from that State, were actively aiding the abolition excite- ment. Probably, says the Patriot, every one of the many clergyman among them has preached often upon that question, and urged his hearers to extreme ground upon it. Nowthey endorse Mr. Webster's position. As coincident with the facts stated above, we have the testimony of a very intelligent gentleman,——extensively ac- quainted through the lake borders of the Northwest, that he knew many Abolition- ists who, after reading Mr. Webster’s Masterly speech of the 7th of March, and opinion in regard to the propriety of their _ previous course, and who, while their o- | Flour, bbl | pinions on the abstract question of slave- | idee ty 'ry remained unchanged, should conceive | Lesiher, ante it their duty. as good citizens and friends of the Union, thereafter to refrain from What can those mean, who countenancing any agitation on the sub- ject.

Some charge it to Necromancy—some to one thing, and some to another, but the grand secret is, that we attend most rigidly and faithfally to the interest of our Patrons, believing and feeling that the two are blen- ded, and one! This has heen our beacon from the time we started to become dispensers of Prizes, bence the rapid growth of our business, and the great success that has attended the investment of the tens of thousands who have ‘risk- ed a little to gain mach.’ To try us, is to know us, to know us, is a Fortune. A @5 or $10 invested in one of the following Bril- liant Schemes, through us, cannot well fail to realize thousands in return. Who will fail to make so trifling | an investment 7 7 Remember their business and success in selling Pri- zes is such, that $10 invested with them is safer and surer to realize a handsome Prize than $100 would be with any other Broker.

The New York Herald states that sev- eral persons from the Southern States went oot in the last steamer for the pur- pose of making some new commercial ar- rangements in England, by which a direct trade may be opened between the Sooth and the trade of Europe. .“ Southern capi- talists are largely interested in this move. ment, and their agents will effect, doubt- less,some measures of great importance The cause of such. enterprise, (remarks the Herald.) on the part of the South, is to be traced to the belligerant attitude of the Northern States, which are chasing a po- litical abstraction, to end in @ most de- plorable overthrow of ourcommerce. The people of the South are quite active in deeds, as those of the North are in words ; and this action, on their part, is but the .sign and symptom of other movements which will assuredly ensue if the anti- slavery agitation is continued among us. We are sure of it.”.— Richmond Times. THE RIGHT COURSE. A Savannah correspondent of the Bal- timore Sun says: “I may mention as one of the fruits of the slavery agitation, that a coasting schooner was launched in Charleston, a few days ago, which is the first of a series of vessels which are to be built in that State for the purpose of ren- dering her people independent of North- ern shippers. A similar enterprise is now | in progress in this city. A number of) gentlemen here are engaged in building a steamer for the Florida trade, all the ma- terials of which are to be of Southern growth and manufacture. Every stick of | timber, every pound of iron, and article of | furnitare, as well as the mechanics who | are building it, belong to the South, and to | this State especially. This is but the be- ginning of the end.” We rejoice to hear it. Go ahead. Ev- ery vessel thus built, every blow thus strack for Southern industry, is worth “an army with banners.”—Rich. Republican. THE FUGITIVE SLAVE BILL—PRE.- | SIDENT FILLMORE. Should the Fagitive Slave Bill be re-| sisted at the North, and the authorities of | the United States be overpowered, it will | a clear case of nullification of an act. of Congress passed in compliance with the | Constitution. President Fillmore has ta- | ken the opinion of the Attorney General | of the United States, who declares the law | to be Constitutional, and the President | showed his concurrence in that opinion by | Signing the bill. What, then, will be the daty of the President ? Simply this: If the law is successful!y resisted or nullified, it will be the daty of the President to or- der the Army and Navy to vindicate the supremacy of the Constitution and the laws. The army would march into the rotous cities and the Navy would block- ade their harbors. If these forces should | Prove insofficient to enforce the law, the | r a fore: will have to call for volunteers, | gro whom he pointed out had heen his slave | spect to the Constitutional rights of the South, nd the South will send as many as he iy, years since, but had run away, who claim. | we must look exclusively to neither party, but wants. We can, therefore, desist from | using wordsof persuasion with the North- | ern rebels and get ready to lick them into North—and that it was here alone that the dan- | Congress of what we deemed, on the whole, a | good feeling would be restored. And so it ger existed. We rejviced at the adoption by reasonable compromise ; and we trusted that would have been but for the most unexpected and outrageous conduct of many people at the North. ‘They have set about to nullity the on- ly one of the series of acts which has the least practical effect in favor of the South. They repudiate the solemn obligation of the Consti- tution, and of the law passed in pursuance of it. That law disclosed the fact that thousands of fugitives have been harbored in the North- ern cities, to say nothing of those seattered about the country. ‘These have been allowed to arm themselves,—have been encouraged to resist to the death the execution of the law.— The consequence is, that in two cases only have fugitives been restored under the law— but ¢wo out of the thousands who are actori- ously harbored among them. Among the recent signs which tend to a fa- tal issue of this question, we may enumerate the following :— At the Presbyterian Synod held at Pittsburg, Penn., onthe 17th instant, ‘a memorial from the session and congregation from Pittsburg and Beaver was pgesented, praying the Synod \o give an expression of opinion against the Fugitive Slave Law. The memorial denounces it as injurious. A motion was made to post- pone the matter indefinitely, which was lost— only one tn favor of postponing ! “The Rev. Proctor Smith, Campbell and others made flaming speeches against the law. They pronounced it a subversion of morality and oppressive. They said they would go to the Penitentiary before obeying such a law.— Great excitement prevails in the Convention. A committee composed of a majority of per- sons opposed to the law was appointed to re- port on the subject.” Here we have a large body of Ministers of the Gospel, and Elders of a Church, throwing the weight of their powerful influence against the constitution and the laws! We suppose they think they are doing God sefvice by such conduct ; and so we suppose did the men who hanged the gamblers at Vicksburg a few years ago. In our opinion the Pittsburg Presbytery is guilty of the greater sin of the two. Again:—A Party of Thirteen Fugitive Slaves passed through Tamaqua, Schuylkill county, Pa., on the 19th instant, en route for Canada. The next day they were followed by two individuals, who, engaging the assistance of a constable, followed on in their pursuit. The pursuers succeeded in overtaking the slaves at Wilksbarre ; hut owing to the strong expression of feeling manifested by the people in their fa- vor, THEY WERF FORCED TO BEAT A HASTY RETREAT. ‘The constable was induced to fol- low them under the impression that they were horse.thieves, but on learning otherwise, he refused to render any further co-operation.— Phila. Ledger. Once more :—At Philadelphia, on the 18th We think it highly probable that these residents in Pit‘sburg” are of the class whose testimony cair be bought very low, and that the bona fide owner of the negro has been de- frauded out of his right, and incarcerated in jail besides. So also inthe Philadelphia case, probably. “The claimant failed to make out his case.” He may thank his stars that he, too, was not committed for perjury, as a warn- ing to-all persons in like cases offending. The Washington Union says,— “ We confess we were grieved and surpris- ed to read in a respectable Ohio paper, that the democratic members of Congress elected from that State would probably support the re- peal of the fugitive slave law. We can hardly permit ourselves to believe that it is possible 3 we fancy there must be some mistake on the subject.” The case at Detroit, of which we have here- tofore given some account, was finally settled by the owner getting $300, (afer paying the expenses of the suit.) This sum was perhaps half the value of his property. And it was raised by subseription, *‘ not a real noisy aboli- tionist subscribing a dollar.” The Whig convention at Utica, N. Y.—a convention called solely because the former convention at Syracuse had endorsed Seward’s course, and for the purpose of repudiating that endorsement,—met and adjourned without say- ing one word about the Fugitive slave law, though it approved of the other compromise measures. This omission is a fearful sign that the law cannot be sustained in that great State. Another of equally evil portent, is the letter of Mr. Hunt, the candidate of that convention, in which he declares that the law ‘could not have been well consid >red, and needs essential modification’ —a declaration at war with the well known fact that the bill was before Con. gress for months, was fully discussed, and ma- ny votes taken on proposed amendments. The conclusions to which we are forced, by these and many other signs at the North, con. trary to our original and strongly cherished hope and belief, are, that the lawcannot be sus- tained ;—that, even if it he not repealed, it cannot be enforced. Inthe few cases where the courts and officers will do their duty, mobs, black and white, stand ready to defeat their action, or to deter the owner from invoking it. Well, what then is to be done? Wedo not hesitate to say, that the Union cannot stand, | and ought not to stand, if this, the only one: of ; the series of measures which is ‘of any real value to the South, is either repealed or nulli. fied. To say nothing of the basenéss of al-” lowing a series of acts to be passed, with the understanding that they were euch and all part of a compromise of conflicting claims, and then that the stronger party should stand to all that had been conceded to itself and repeal the only one it conceded to the other party—to say no- thing of this, the South has a constitutional right to this law, and to its faithful execution— a right which neither its honor nor its interest will permit it to relinquish at any hazard, even of disunion itself. It is with great reluctance that we have ad. mitted the above conclusions. They are, how- ever, forced upon us by the state of things at the North, and it is our duty to let our readers at the South see, as we see it, what is going on there. If Southern papers have any readers at the North, we would add, that it is due to them to be warned ot the fatal tendency of their movements. Since the above was in type we are glad to see that a movement is on foot in New York to hold a great meeting of all classes and all parties, to express the feeling of that city in favor of a faithful observance of the law. This step is advocated by the Express, Courier and Enquirer, and Mirror, (Whig papers, ) the Jour- nal of Commerce, and Herald, (Locofoco, ) and is bitterly opposed by the Tribune, (Whig Ab- olitionist,) and the Evening Post, (Locofoco Abolitionist,) which threatens those merchants who sign the call for the meeting with the loss of the ‘custom of the free soil people of the North! But the proposition meets with such general favor that in the whole length of Broad street only two persons refused to sign it, in Exchange Place only one, and in Pine street only two. Total five, in three business streets. Three more were met with in a portion of Broadway, which was canvassed by the same inst., a large crowd of colored persons assem- | bled in front of the court house, to await the decision of Judge Grier in the case of the ne- gro man named Henry Garnet, arrested under | the fugitive law, and claimed by Mr2 Thomas _P. Jones, of Cecil county, Md. | After a patient examinaffon of the case, the | Judge decided that the claimant had failed to make out his case, and accordingly discharged gentleman. This is certainly gratifying. But as to New | York city, we never had any doubt. ‘The peo. | ple of that city are too well informed of the | actual condition of things at the Suuth, to be humbugged by brawling fanatics.

A committee then proceeded to canvass the city to get assistance in the publication of cer. tain incendiary resolutions regarding the fugi- tive slave law, which the responsible papers refuse to publish, considering thera riotous in tendency, and subversive of law and order. The following we copy from the New York Express :— ““ Another case under the Fugitive Laws.—A. Southern man at Pittsburg who came to arrest a slave, named Jones, who swore that the ne- ed bis delivery up to him by the * commission- er,” was. thwarted in his purpose under the law, : He got hold of the wrong man, for all the | gans of the uniled Democracy of that State, Bood behaviour.

It shows also, ‘facts for which we have long contended, that | fur the defeat of the abolitionists, and for re- | to the moderate men of all parties. The New York Post, one of the leading or- ja beyond the chance of repeal,” counsels imposition of the Wilmot proviso, and says : The jaws organizing the Territories of New Mexico and Utah are happily open. to amendment, New Mexico should be admitted immediately as a State, which will put an end to agitation in that quarter. ‘The prohibition of Slavery in the Territory of Utah will quench a fire-brand which will.never cease to blaze as long as that question is undecided.” In addition to this. evidence we quote from the address of a Democratic leader who makes the following urgent appeal, whilst he gives an historical statement, no doubt perfectly new to Southern Democrats. Mr. Tompkins loguitur : “Are you prepared, fellow Democrats, to show your disregard of truth, honor, and com- mon humanity? For did you not, in 1848, pro- claim that you would advocate the cause of ‘ free-soil for free labor and freemen?” Wil you now violate the sacred principle of truth, by action at variance with that assertion ?”’ We find next, a nice account of a Democratic convention in Wisconsin. After nominating ‘“‘a Free-soil candidate for. Congress;” the con. vention passed a number of resolutions in fa- vor “of free-soil, Internal Improvements, land reform, cheap postage, homestead exemption, free-trade, and direct taxation. The conven- tion-aleo expressed itself in favor of Thomas Hart Benton for the next Presidency, and in in opposition to the fugitive slave law.” Add to this the secret nomination of Martin Van Buren for the Presidency, and the deter. mination of all the recently elected Locofoco Members of Congress from Ohio to repeal the Fugitive Slave Law, and one would think, that unscrupulous as they generally are, Locofoco Presses would cease their attempts to manu- facture capita] out of Whig Abolition sympa. thies. One would think that they would now at least follow the advice of the Union, and “drop party warfare” until the Union is saved. Fayetteville Observer. From the Fayetteville Observer. LOOK OUT FOR THE SCOUNDREL. Owing to the great extent of our territory, and the sparseness of our population, the most ordinary rogues are often able to i suc- cessfully on the community. But the plausible and accomplished seldom fail under any cir- cumstances to practice successfully their dis- honest arts. One of the most specious and art- ful of the profession has just been compelled to leave this place, where he has been staying two weeks, and deceiving many persons. He calls himself Lieut. Don Carlos Valencia, of the 4th Regiment Lancers of Puebla, Mexico ; claims to be son of Col. Valencia, and nephew of Gen. Valencia of Mexico. He professes to have served through the whole of the last war, and claims to have received several honorable wounds. His appearance is very prepossess- ing his carriage erect and military, his dress outwardly neat, his manners, especially in the company of ladies, gentle, refined and insinua. ting. He is about 5 feet 5 or 6 inches high, has rather pale or dark complexion. black hair and eyes, good teeth, small feet and hands, and wore when here a moustache and small impe- rial. He speaks English fluently, and with a foreign accent, and is about 25 or 26 years old, though he says he is only 21. He has three scars near and under right side of the chin, which he says are bullet marks, and a bullet scar on the left thigh. He seems to suf- ter from hemorrage of the lungs, caused, as he said until] detected, by an unhealed wound in one of them—He also affects to be deranged at times, and counterfeits admirably the ravings of insanity. He also uses opium freely. He is remarkably fluent and ready in conversation and quite interesting as a narrator of adven- tures. He was fully identified just before he L left as the same person who, as an exiled Cu- ban, insinuated himself into the confidence of some of the good people of Newark, Del., and afterwards absconded with a watch and money. He is an exceedingly plausible and artful fel- low, and well fitted to impose on even the least credulous. He wore, while here, a pair of black pantaloons, with a red and gold stripe on the outside of each leg. Let the public look out for him. He was started to Raleigh from here, and probably go to charleston, as he had tickets to that place. Editors of newspapers will do well to introduce this enterprising gen- tlemen to the public. FAYETTEVILLE. By the above it will be seen that some mem- bers of our community have been most decent. ly humbugged. We were at the Market House one morning trying to buy a tripe, or a shin of beef. when an ancient carriage came along, with two mules drawing it, and a number of trunks be- hind; the whole looking like such a thing as a traveller might expect to meet on the “ pam- pae” of South America. Inside were too la- dies and two gentlemen. The vehicle halted at the market house a few. moments, and the passengers were accosted by a reverend gen- tleman well known for his urbanity. All that was not very strange; but during the day, as we were passing along the street, we heard some urchins talking about “a live Mezi- can” that was at Mrs. Brown’s hotel; and soon af. ter we discovered apparently a young Spaniard with mustache and other fixings a-la-militarie, and three very amiable citizens of our town in a very pleasant conversation, playing the a- greeable. We passed on and said nothing. Sunday morning, going to the post office, we saw quite a bevy of the young “ bloods” about Fayetteville, all gathered around the live Mex. ican, and he spinning bis yarns with great de- liberation. Never wishing to thrust our humble self in- to the company of great ones—or as the vul- gar about here say, “the big bugs” —we did not dare approach him, but went up fo our of- fice window and satisfied our curiosity with a ep. = a became apparent that the young man in moustaches was no bug eater. As there was no one to let the people know how great a man he was, he did not let his extreme mod- esty at all interfere with the business of making their studies, to his head all night dest night.” (Yes, thinks lL, whole of the. Mexican war, and sought - _ Even at the cannon’s mouth.” He. could beat Othello all to smash telling of his “hair breadth ’scapes, in the imminent deadly breach”—* the battles, seiges, fortunes that he bad .". He was a ~ of is fmily Gen. Scott also, and had lived in since the war. And our wonder-loving cits, like the gentle Desdemona, “ these things to hear would seri- onsly incline.” There was no one like Don Carlos. Merchants would leave their counting houses, clerks their counters, doctors their pa- tients, lawyers their clients, and. militia majors congregate and sit with him at the corner of the Hotel, or gallant him to see the arsenal, &c. At last it become rumored that the young gen- tleman was in love with a young.heiress on a visit to our town. Love soon cracked his brain and he was confined to his bed. The Doctors were called in, who examined his wounds, and his other dangerous symptoms, and pronounced him in a very precarious situation. He would sorhetithes-rave like a maniac, and sometimes whine like a Jove-sick maiden. Every morning you could hear some one of the enraptured Citizens enquiring— ‘“* How isthe Don, this morning t” “Oh,” (says one who had set up. all night with him) “ he is yery bad off He was out of and out of pocket too, I guess.) wis “ Well, what does the Doctor thi Has he dressed his wound ?” ‘* No, he wouldn’t allow it to be dressed, nor would he take his medicine. The Doctor says he is very bad off.” “Poor fellow. Does he stil] go on in that crazy way?” “Yes ; he is all the time talking like he was in his regiment, giving orders to his men—then speaking to his superior officer—then be will draw his sword to fight a due] with somebody he thought insulted him. He would rush at a carpet bag and plunge his cane atit. Then he would call Pedro and tell him to black his boots. Sometimes he would spit up blood, and then go into spasms, and the Doctor would think he would die.” * Poor fellow.” This game was played for a week, and our hero visited a very amiable family one evening, and was taken sick there. There lay the strength of the- game. Of course, the family, taking his rank, family and fortune into consideration, paid him every attention, and as he grew worse, he deemed it to be prudent to make a Will, in which he willed all his effects to ‘his soul’s adored.” At last, on Saturday night, the bubble burst- ed, and very extensively bespattered with its vile contents our hospitable friends, who had been so anxious to sustain the reputation of Fayette. ville for hospitality and attention to “distin. guished strangers.” The above extract from the Observer gives the denouementto this most ridiculous affair. It was equal to the old play of “ A bold stroke for a wife.” The “Don” played the part of Colonel Feign- well, “up to nature” as Shakespeare says.— His motto was— « Now fame, title and fortune, come in play, A thirty thousand pound girl leads the way.” To crown the joke, after the fellow was ex- posed, and while the duped ones were venting their anathemas on his ‘‘ devoted head,” he was asked by a very venerable old gentleman, if he came to Fayetteville thinking the people here were green”? ee ‘The man sniggered in his sleeve, and told them he should not have come had he not been invited ! We must however, do our fellow citizens the justice to say that others have been daped by this MILLIONAIRE as effectually as they were. Fay. Carolinian. WORK FOR NOVEMBER IN THE SOUTH.

Nothing more is nécessary—nothing else wil) suffice. We ifi¥ite the attention of our readers to the extracts Which will be found in this paper, on the subject of the Fugitive Slave Law. We shall continue to watch the course of our Nor- thern friends, and will endeavor to keep our readers informed as well as possible of the oc- ing among them. In the. mean time, it is the duty of Southern men to pay close attention to the course of events, and consider well what, in regard to all, the strict line of duty calls up- on them to do. Since preparing the above we have received the National Intelligencer of the 2d November, containing the proceedings of a tremendous Union Meeting in the city of New York. We are highly pleased with the spirit which pre- vailed in that vast assemblage, and but for the fear that the demon, parly, was at the founda- tion, we should gladly hail it as an omen of fair promise. Indeed, until our fears are real. ised we shall so hail it. New York city is able to do much towards perpetuating the Un. ion. We trust that this demonstration of her feelings shall only prove the beginning of the end ; and that to the last, she may be found exerting her strengthto preserve intact the on- ly fair fabrie of civil and religious liberty on the face of the whole earth. As long as she ranges herself beneath the flag of the Country —the stars and stripes—so long will she find rthe South by her side. ‘The Svuth is disposed to settle down, and rest on the enactments o the last Congress. She will yield obedienc \to its authority. Let the North remember that ‘we ask no more of them, and that less than this we are prepared neither to expect, nor to submit too.

If the great interests in question could bave a large and intelligent dele- gation of “lobby. members,” with their | specimens—the actual rocks in their pock- eis,—what might not be effected? In this connexion we take pleasure in refer- ring the reader to an article from the Ral- eigh Times on “ Industrial Exhibitions.” Here ncw, thought we, if the apparent fears of the editor have any foundation—if there is indeed a purpose on the part of any consider. able number of the Democrats to embarrass the works of internal improvement chartered by the last Legislature,—it is only another ev. idence that men are but grown up children.— Though grey-headed fathers, and renowned as leaders in public affairs, they often exhibit the same spirit of trifliog—the same unappreciation of the labors of others, and the same self-conceit as to the efforts of their own genius and skill. If they knock down the Central Rail Road as the little boy knocked down the block tower, they will themselves attempt something smart toexcel it; and we think there is no risk in say- ing before hand, that they will makea miserable failure of it. “It’s my time” with them—they are in power, with sufficient strength to do pretty much what they please. It remains to be seen what course they will pursue. We hope that they will have a care to the best interest of the State. In regard to the industrial exhibition propos- ed to be heldin Raleigh this winter, and spo- ken of in the above extract, we believe it is | ers, &c., of this region prepare for it, and take down specimens of their skill and industry.— if the thing should be carried out as it ought to be, it would certainly open the eyes of many who are now ignorant of the resources of the State. It would at once become apparent how great would be the benefits of the improve. ments proposed to be made. Query.—What shall an editor take down for exhibition? A file of his paper and specimens of printing ? There are several families in the vicinity of this place that have been taken with the moving fever. Some of them have been car. ried off already, and there are others prepar- ing to follow. They are all valuable citizens —good men, and whatis also to be regretted, are generally Whigs. We hope they are not actuated, in view of the late eleetion, by the same feeling that prompt rats to desert a burn. ing barn.—Salisbury Watchman. boy the other day, addressing himself to his play-fellows, who had just completed a little | tower made of blocks which they had gathered | up from around a carpenter’s bench. ‘ Now it’s my time to build one,” and with that he | Jetked out a block from the bottom of the pile, and the whole tumbled tothe ground. He svon commenced his arrangements for building, the others, the while, looking a little sad to see their little house which was indeed pretty, so soon fall to pieces. But our impatient, con- ceited little hero proceeded with his work, and afier working a long time, turning and twisting and fixing and unfixing, he at last said “ there it is, now it’s dene.” And sure enough there it waa, cutting a very ridiculous figure as com. pared with the one which he had so uncere- moniously pulled to pieces. We felt half vexed at the little fellow, but reflecting that he was only a child, the thing was passed over witb. out a word; and so tnrning away we took up the last Greensborough Patriot and commenced reading the following article : From the Greensborough Patriot. .Wedo hope and trust that the approaeh- ing of the General Assembly will not be frittered away with Bunkum speech- es and the discussions of political abstrac- tions. The democratic party will prepon- derate, it is true ; but surely the members of that party will exhibit a paramount regard for the interests of the State, now that the necessity for State improvement has become so apparent to all. Much, —almost every thing, depends upon the course of the ensuing session.

If the former we shall claim the privilege of submitting the question to some close observer of the nature and hab. its of that litle animal. If the latter, the ed- itor of the Carolinian may decide as he will. We should suppose, however, that rats will run from a fire which they either see, hear, smell, | or feel; and allowing those citizens of North Carolina who are going off in such numbers only an equal chance with them, if Locofoco- ism presents itself in an aspect calculated to excite sufficiently, any one of the sensibilities named, it would require no other motive to make them strike their tents. Do they see what is coming ?1—do they hear it? and is it danger? Reason says flee. Instinct says the same. The comparison we think is good. Jonesvitre. N. C., Oct. 29, 1850.

THE WAY IT WORKS. While at Concord, last week, 2 gentleman who had been in the habit of trading with a certain Mercantile establishment in this place, said to us— ‘What has become of they still carrying on?” “ Yes, sir,” was our reply. “I see, by your paper,” continued he * En. niss & Shemwell, and M. Brown & Son, have. fish for sale. I have never traded with either of them, and they are not acquainted with me ; bat if I knew whether & , bad fish, || would immediately order a barre].”” Here, as you perceive, is the way it works. There is an old customer of & , ig- norant of two important facts in regard to them. First, he did not know whether they were still carrying on business. Second, he wanted an article from them, and could not find out, exeept by writing, whether or not, they had it for sale. The merchants in question have failed to | advertise this season. Wonder if what they save at the spigot is not more than lost at the | bung bole. aS we & . are METEOR. We -have heard several gentlemen from the upper ‘part of this County speaking of a very large meteor which was seen passing through | the-atmosphere on Friday night last. One gen- tlemad says lie was riding along the road at the time, and noticed the light on the ground first. On raising-his-head, he saw what appeared him to be a large ball of fire, fringed around with pitchy smoke. Its direction was from the South ; and at the moment he saw it, he believ- ed it was but a few feet from his head, and coming right at him. He gave his horse a dig in the ribs and dodged as far forward as he could, when the light suddenly disappeared. | He beard no noise ; and although he enuffed the | air on purpose to know, could discover no sul- , phurious or othor strange odour. | Another gentleman, several miles distant | from the former, was out at a corn shucking. | | He first noticed the light on the corn pile, and | “supposed some one was bringing out a torch.

THE UNION MEETING. The call for the Union Meeting on Wednes- day evening will be found in our columns to- _day. The signers, numerous as they are, could | have been doubled, tripled, or quadrupled ; but “enough is as good as a feast,” and there was no occasion for more. The signers embrace men of all professions, though most of them are merchants. The idea that this meeting origi- nated through fear or cowardice as to the course of the South, or in any manner by Southern dictation, is as gratuitous as it is untrue. The meeting originated aecording to the best of our knowledge, in the purest and most patriotic pur- | poses, in a love of the Union, in a determina. | tion to stand by the Constitution, in a common resolve to obey the laws of the land, in a de- | testation of fanaticism, in a weariness of agita. _tion, and in an earnest anxiety to end debate | upon settled questions of public policy. The signers wish to show the North, more than their countrymen of the South, that they are ready | here, and now, to frown upon the spirit of Dis- | cord, Disunion, and Nuillification so rife for _ mischief in our midst, and that, too, regardless | of all legal restraint, and all seuse of moral ob. _ ligation.—N.

Ent. The Fugitive Slave Law in Boston—Ar- rest of the Owners of a Fugitive—Tre- mendous Excitement. - Boston, Oct. 27th. About 44 o'clock. yesterday afternoon, R. J. Knight, who is alleged to be a slave catcher from Georgia, was arrested by Had pad Sheriff Rugg, on a writ for slan- a Sin The writ alleges that Mr. Knight charged Wm. Crafts, a citizen of Massa- chusetts, with being a slave, to the dam- age of his business and detriment of his character, in the sum of $10,000. Mr. Knight was taken to Mr. Rugg’s office, where a great crowd soon assembled, com- posed of whites and blacks—abuse ‘was heaped upon Knight, but no violence was. offered. Mr Knight after remaining in custody about half an hour, obtained. bail in $10,000, and. was set at liberty. This is said to be one movement of a series by the opponents of the Fugitive slave law to render its execution as ob- noxious as possible. The committee of vigilance have had several sessions, and have, it is said, re- solved to invite the suspected fugitive slave-seekers to leave the city forthwith. So far no attempt has been made to ar- rest a fugitive. The warrants lie dead in the Marshal's office. The excitement is great. Many say the law should be enforced, while others say it shall not. A number of fugitives, fearing they cannot be protected, have gone to Canada. SEABOARD AND ROANOKE RAILROAD. We were one of a party of about two dozen persons, from Norfolk and Ports- mouth, upon a pleasant gxcursion yester- day on the seaboard and Roanoke Rail- road. The road has been constructed the 'distance of 11 miles from Portsmouth, which was accomplished in 37 minates by a car with iron for thé' Road attached.— The road is laid with heavy T rail, and will be one of the easiest to ride on in the United States. To Dr. Wm. Col- lins, the President of the Company. to whose zealous exertions in its behalf so much is due, and Capt. Barnes, the ac- complished Engineer of the Road, the thanks of the party are cheerfally award- ed for their polite attention and bospital- ity. As we approached Portsmouth in the cars every one was struck with the dome of the City Halt of Norfolk being fully in view for a distance of 4 miles, a curve in the road alone preventing it being seen at a greater distance.— Norfolk Beacon. CHURCH AND STATE. A very numerous Synod of the Old School Presbyterian Church assembled at Pittsburg, Pa., on the 17th inst. A memorial from the session and congregation of Pittsburg, praying the Synod to give an expression of opionion against the fugitive slavé law, was presented. The memorial at first was not entertained, but the reverend (heaven save the mark) Messrs. Porter, Smith and Campbell, and others, made fanatical] speeches against the law and all who voted for it. (These rascals had no doubt been disappointed in marrying some rich lady with land and niggers.) They said they would go to the Penitentiary before obeying such a law. We know not how much of this insolence of northern fanatics the southern people are going to take, before they rise up in arms; but they have already suffered with the patience of Job. A writer in the Washington Union, noticing this affair, and reprehending the intermeddling of the Church with political subjects, says, “ it would be thought very strange if Congress or a State Legislature were to take up the Bishop Onderdonk case, or any other question of reli- gion of morals.” But the Synod appointed a committee to take the subject of the memorial under consideration the South (if we may except South Carolina) the evidences are unmistakable, not only of | ‘devotion to the Union among the great body of | | the people, but of the moderated tone of many | who had taken ground for measures hostile to it; some of those, in fact, who were prominent in setting the ball of discontent in motion are | how exerting their energies to stop it. In the North the signs are equally satisfac. tory of a sound public feeling, and of the dis- favorin which leading persons find themselves who have advoeated notions incompatible with loyalty to the Constitution. An incident very signifieant of this fact is the recent rejection of the Hon. Horace Mann, of Massachusetts, ‘by the Whig’ Nominating Convention of his | distriet, he having reeeived but 53 votes fur re. | | eleetion in a body of 117 delegates ; Mr. Sam. | uel H. Walley receivedthe remaining 64 votes | | and thé nomination. Considering the abilities | | and high personal character of Mr. Mann, and | | his late pre-eminent standing in his district, the feeling that so suddenly placed Lim ina minor. | ity could only haye arisen from dieapprobation INFORMATION TO POSTMASTERS. Every Postmaster whose office yields to the Government, over $25 per quarter, is entitled to post office ballances-for weighing letters. Where a postmaster who is entitled to the franking privilege, receives letters mailed at other offices and charged. with postage, he is to enter the said letiers as usual, and mark the postage as “ overcharge” in the fourth column of “ mails received.” _ When a postmaster is entitled to pay for night service, he should always send a ceriifi- cate of the fact, without which it cannot be al- lowed. : When postmasters have not the last tabular lists of post offices, and the latest printed regu. lations, they should apply for them. They can- re perform their duty understandingly without them. Post bills should be sent with all transient newspapers, handbills and circulars. — It is not Jawful for mail carriersto carry let- ters out of the mail, whether sealed or upseal- ed.— U. 8.

A receipt going the rounds of the pa- rsdirects you, half an hour before the fowl is killed, to pour a. gill of brandy down its throat,—this produces complete intoxication, and is said to give the flesh of the drunken turkey, a tenderness supe- rior to that which is produced by long keeping !

To Cure Maryland Hams.—To every one hundred pounds weight of pork take eight pounds of ground alum salt, two pounds of brown sugar, two ounces saltpetre, one and a half ounces potash, and four gallons of water. Of these form a brine. The meat should be well cooled and dried before being put up, and then suffered to lie one day in a cool place. Then rub each piece with fine salt, and pack the whole down, and suffer it to remain some two or three days, according to the weather. The above brine should then be poured into the cask or tub on the side. After being in the brine six weeks, take out the meat, rinse it in cold water, hang up and suffer it to dry four or five days, or longer, and then smoke some two weeks with hickory wood. ‘Tie up each piece in a linen bag, and whitewash the outside.

It is just as possible to keep a calm house, a cheerful house, an orderly house, as a furnished house, if the heads set themselves to do so. Where is the diffi- culty of consulting each others weakness es as well as each other’s wants; each other’s tempers, as each other’s characters? | Oh ! it is by leaving the peace at home to chance, instead of pursuing it by system, that so many houses are unhappy. It de- serves notice, also, that almost any one can be courteous and patient, in a neigh- bor’s house. If anything go wrong. or be out of time, or is disagreeable there, it is made the best of, not the worst ; even ef- forts are made to excuse it, and to show it is not felt; if felt it is attributed to acci- dent not to design; and this is not easy. but natural in the house of a friend. I will not, therefore, believe that what is so natural in the house of another is impos- sible at home, but maintain without fear, that all the courtesies of social life may be upheld in domestic societies. A husband as willing to be pleased at home, and as anxious to please as in his neighbor’s house, and a wife as intent on making things comfortable every day to her fam- ily,.as. on set days to her guests, could not fail to make their own home happy. Let us not evade the point of these remarks by recurring to the maxim about allowances for temper, unless we could prove that we ever gained anything good by giving way to it. Fits of ill humor punish us quite as much, if not more, than those they are not vented upon ; and it actually requires more effort andinflicts more pain to give them up, than would be requiste to them. — Philip. Taking it Coolly.— We country doctors (writes a friend of the Knickerbocker,) have to be dentists as well as druggists. Our saddle-bags are our shops, and the turnkey a daily weapon. A fe’ days ago a hearty-young woman called, with another like ber and asked me to pull a tooth, which with much reluctance I did, and with less reluctance took the usual fee of twenty five cents. Her companion pleased with the operation, said she had a tooth that sometimes ached, and she would like to have it out now. I told her she had better wait till it ached again ; but she said no, she would bave it pulled ; and sol took it out. She promised to not expect to bave her tooth drawn when she came, and she was not prepared with the ‘quarter.’ Soa day or twoafter, she called and offered me halfa dollar; but fortunately I had no change, and she said it made no difference for I could just take it out in pulling another tooth, which she knew would ache. So I took another and made the change. Wasn't that girl a philosopheress, and would’t she make a capital martyr ?

Salisbury, Nov. 7 21 26, _At Garysbarg, a very large gathering of | people turned out to hear him, and from his efforts there and in Jackson, some 40 |or 50 bave been added to the order in Northampton county. At Halifax the most pleasing effects have followed his labors—some 20 odd names were obtain- ed on the day of his speaking there, and the good seed sown in all these places will produce a yet more abundant harvest. The weather has been most propitious for congregating the people together, and to use the language of a correspondent, the good he has done cannot at present be es- timated. We have received no intima- tion of bis success beyond Jackson, but doubt not it bas been equally as cheering as at the places we have heard from. Spirit of the Age. Good.—Ossian E.

He does not aspire to the position of the Historian, but hopes from records and statistical facis to afford materi- als to other and abler hands for this pleasing and less la- borious duty. ‘The work, it is hoped, will be useful as a book of reference to the statesman and scholar, and man of business or leisure. Occasional extracts have been published in the Standard aad other papers of this State, over the signatare of “ Tacitus.” The History of North Carolina is yet to be written. The remark which one of the ablest Historians of the age, (Bancrofi,) has been compelled to make, that “so carelessly has the History of North Carolina been writ- ten, that the name, merits and end of the first Governor is not known,” is a refleetion uponus. Anexamination of the early history of the Counties of North Carolina shows a record of the purest patriotism and indomitable courage. This record is now covered by the dust of age, and unknown by neglect. It isa debt which the present generation owes to the past as well as the futare to pre- serve these memorials; for it often occurs in the history of our race, that facts known to one generation are con- trovetted by the next,and at a succeeding period are con- sidered ag doubtful legends, unworthy historical faith.— Our Mecklenburg Declaration of Independence, in May 1775, had almost been an illustration of this trath. “These are deeds which should not pass away, And names that must not wither; though the earth Forget her empires with a just decay, The enslavers and the enslaved, their death and birth.” This work will be illustrated with a Map of the State, from latest surveys, and inclading the new Counties to this date, and sketches in Engravings of some of her beautiful scenery. It will contain about 500 pages, and be farnished at one dollar a copy. Subscriptions will be received and the book furnished at different points of the State. [4126] JNO. H. WHEELER. E. N’GARR & CO.

A very. unusual sight appeared, on? morning, before Simon Barton’s bumble doar, in. the shape of a- gorgeous equipage and a pair of spirited horses siriking the ground with their | impatient feet. Yes, a very unusual sight it was, in that dim and. miserable etrect, to be- hold so grand a cuachman flourish so formida- ble a whip over the heads of such glossy steeds. Why, the steeds themselves tossed their finely- shaped heads in the air, eager to go forward on their way; but the elegant looking lady, who was within the coach and had pulled the check. string for the coachman to step when and where he did, seemed determined that they should await ber pleasure. ‘The party were evidently strangers in the city, and consisted of the lady, a gentleman, and a bright and beautiful boy. * Why do you stop Agnes,” said the gentle. man, languidly, ‘at this out-of the. way, forlorn. looking place, called a book store? You know that we bave not a minute to spare; for the captain told us he would certainly sail at ten— and, if the vessel goes without us, I shall miss the last chance I have for reeovery.’ * Do not fear, Albert,’ replied the lady, as she took from ber bosom a jewelled watch ; * it is but just nine o’clock, and they tell me that the wharf isvery near. My motive for stopping here is not allogether selfish ; for | want some books for both of us to read on the voyage, and though I have unwisely put it off until the last minute, [ possibly may tind something here.’ The invalid’s eyes grew bright, tor an in- stant, as the lady spoke, and he as usual, let her have her own way, gazing proudly un the rich beauty and noble air of his lovely wife, and then sinking back into. the carriage witha sigh of regret and a troubled look at the pros- pect of his early death. At the door of the humble book store stood a girl about ten years old, who hada weak look. ing child in ber arms, and the lady paused as she encountered her. The girl’s countenance was one of peculiar loveliness, and the clear hazel of her eye was uplifted to the stranger's face. * You are very beautiful,’ said the lady, has- tily. *No—I should not say that, for it will make you vain—I mean, I like to look at you ; there is something euchanting about you as you stand with that dull of a child in your arms,— How old is she, and where is the. mother ?’ * Lotte is only two,’ she answered, * and sick. ly most of the time. Ever since-my-mother died | have taken care of her, and she told'me not to part with her until we meet in: the blue sky up yonder.’ : ‘ Do not fear,’ returned the stranger; ‘I shall not rob you of your treasure. And, the father —where is he? ‘In the book store,’ answered the child; and the lady remembering her errand, entered.— Simon Barton showed no sensation of astonish. ment as the bright being stood before bim, and, advancing from among his dusty books, asked ber pleasure. ‘Have you any thing new,’ inquired the la- dy, ‘wherewith to while away a tedious sea voyage—something light and entertaining 1 The store-keeper displayed some books, which were by no means new, and the lady, turning them over, contemptuously, said. Why, these must have been printed before the flood. Have you nothing more modern? ‘Ittakes money to lay in a new stock,’ grum- bled the man, and money is not the lot of every The stranger looked inquiringly at him, and said to herself, ‘I see that you are poor, but you are proud ;’ then she added, aloud, * I will take a dozen of these books. What is the price 7 He named the price and she paid it. He carried the package to the carriage, and then As the lady crossed again the threshold, the girl whose strange beauty had so struck ber met her gaze. * Here child,’ said she, ‘take this trifle and buy a new dress for Lotte and yourself, and if you are ever in want, remember that there isa person in the world ready to help you, whose name is Agnes Mordant.’ The equipage rolled proudly away, while the girl stood looking her mute thanks, and soon after the invalid found bimself reclining upon a sofa on the deck of an outward. bound vessel, which was boldly ploughing the waves, MIDDLE OF THE YEAR. As we are now at the middle of the 35th year of the society, it may be stated that the receipts of money and the issues _of books are just about what they were | during the first half of the preceding year. This would be a gratifying tact, were we /not painfully convinced that we do not _keep up with the growing wants of our country and of the world. While many of the auxiliaries are ma- | king noble exertions to supply the desti _tute around them, a large number are do- ing little or nothing in this work.

Never look down and despair, Leave -danger uneared for, and push on.

A deep sleep some- | what refreshed him, and, opening his eyes, he mechanically inquired the hour. Mrs. Mor- daut again refered to her time-piece, but an air of consternation overspread her features when she discovered that an ornament, which was always allached to the watch-chain, and which she wore next her heart, was missing. ‘Good heavens!’ she exclaimed, ‘my dia- mond cross is not here!’ Her husband Ivoked astonished, but answer- ed her, while she searched about for it. * You will soon find it, Agnes, in the folds of your dress.’ But the search proved unavailing, and, at night, Mrs. Mordant fairly wept herself to sleep. It was not merely the value of the ornament, although it was of almost princely worth, but the gift had been bestowed upon her by Mr. Mordant on the day of their marriage, and he required that it should not be worn for show, but next her heart, and, in case of his death, he said it would remind her of him. A theu- sand thoughts came into her mind as to where she could have lost it, but she could not ac- count satisfactorily for its absence. No one could have stulen it, for she never took it from the chain; and she at last arrived at the con- clusion that the ring which was attached to the chain must have snapped, and that she must have dropped it in the city as she took out her watch. To regret it now, was useless, for their voyage would, in all probability, occupy two or three months, and betore it could be advertised, the finder would bave appropriated it to himself as having no owner. fouk tere elias. rhs she ¢ face was lit up with feelings of gratitude; | . bappy possessor of what eeemed to her such a large sum of movey. In her simplicity, sbe thought that it would last Lotte and berselt a lifetime, and she felt doubly rejuiced at the gifi, for now she could avoid the cold, harsh look which her father invariably gave her whenever she asked him for muney to eupply even the daily necessities of life. “Let me see,’ said she, musingly, * Lotte shall have two new Sunday dresses. and our bonnets shall be freshly trimmed with pink ribbon. ‘Then, I shal] buy father a new vest for be wants one sadly; and Betty, for her kindness and care of Lotte and me, shall have a handkerchief and apron. Then, | shall pur- chase a new sugar-bowl, fur the old one is a very miserable-looking thing, with both bandles broken off, and—but, should | not show the money to father first?’ And, acting on this suggestion, she entered the store where he sat counting over his late gain. ‘ Well child asked he, ‘ what do you want ?’ ‘Ob!’ answered Lucy, delighted, * that lady, who must have been a queen, bas given me so much money !’ * Money !’ said the father, eagerly ; ‘ Where; —How much?’ Lucy displayed her treasure, and he, clutch- ing at it, took it from her tender band, as if it had heen his own. ‘Ten dollars !’ said he triumphantly ; ‘ why, ‘tis a rich present, surely; and will purchase many goodly things. Here are the window panes to be mended and the bill 1 owe for bread to be paid ; then, there’s that old stand. ing bet to Ned Burns about the election. It will do that and more too.’ * But,’ father, said the child, reproachfully. * Well!’ replied he, roughly. ‘The lady said that it would buy something for Lotfe and me ; and we want new dresses to look neatly in at Sunday school, and many oth. er little things for housekeeping that you do not know of.’ ‘ You have plenty of dresses,’ returned Bar. ton; ‘and you are the most indulged. spoiled. child in the city, your wants are endless.” ‘Then seeing the tears gather to her eyes at this un- just charge, he bade her begone from his sight, and, while she led Lotte from his presence, he pocketed, with a miserly gleam on his hard face, his unjustly acquired gains. Lucy did not weep ; for the scarlet fiush on her cheek burnt up the few tears that flowed—but she turned her eyes upward towards that beaven where she believed her mother was watching her, as if she had these words: * Mather, thou seest it all ; thou knowest all my sufferings, thou seest how hard ia my task; that the father, who should cherish and love me, is harsh and unkind; that there is that in his nature which the angels must despise, and which thou, mother, must condemn—for such conduct helped to send thee early to the grave. What must Ido? What must be done? Shall I stand idly, and let it all go on, or shall this little frame and weak heart try to reform and make my father betier? Weak though I be, I will try, even if my reward come not on earth, but in heaven.’ In a mute aspiration, something like this Lucy made her resulve. She had a more dif. ficult task before her than she at present divin- ed, for her father, from his youth, stern and un. yielding, had lived an irreligious and careless life. His wife, who was lovely in every gift of mind and person, wanted that resolution of character which could make such a man hap. py, and she was not possessed of that spirit of determination, the germ of which showed it. self hut just now in Lucy’s resolution. Thanks to the little book store and her mother’s exam. ple, Lucy had acquired a taste for study and reading, and child though she was, this appli- cation to books had given her a refinement of manner and conversation which children do not often possess. All her spare hours were spent in pouring over those volumes which her father, strangely enough and at variance with his usual indifference selected fur her. Every one, in a lifetime has had some such moments as these now endured by Lucy. She felt de- pressed in mind and body. lonely and misera- ble, without one friend on earth to whom she could appeal for sympathy. She was called away from indulging long in such forlorn thoughts, by Lotte, to come and amuse her, and although any thing like amusement was for. eign to her present mood, she tried her best to entertain and quiet the wayward child. They sat together upon the stone step before the door at which the great carriage had stopped, and told the oft repeated stories of Cinderella and Blue Beard, or drew {rom the corners of her tried brain many wonderful tale of her own invention. ‘There are not many things in the world more tiresome than the task of tale-tell ing to a fretful and impatient child. When you have exhausted all your powers of inven. tion, and think that you have done something brilliant in the way of unheard of adventures of some giant or ogre, and Jook down at the child, expecting to see it wrapped in thought, or expressing thanks and wonder, the only no. tice that is taken of all your exertions is ex- pressed in these words ; *Is that all; do tell me another.’ And it was thus with poor Lucy and Lotte. * Sing to me now,’ said Lotte, * mamma’s song.’ And with a heavy, listless heart, Lucy warbled the nursery song that Lotte loved so well, call- ed the ‘Idle Girl,’ while Lotte joined in the simple chorus contained in the last line of each verse. Oh, sun, bright sun, come out of the sky, Put your hard work for a minate by Give ap fora while your endless round, And come and play with me on the ground. But the sun ssid—no !

And Lucy sat on the stone etep there, s ing and talking to the child, with ber heart Pied where but in the words she was saying, her fingers in the sand, for she was thinking deep. ly upon ber newly made plans. As she turned over the loose suil she saw something glittering in it like a sunbeam, Sbe took it up.and found. that it was a brilliant cross, composed of the rarest jewels. Quick as thought, she hid it in her bosom, afraid to exhibit her treasure to the passers by. Her nature was not one to conceal any circumstance of the kind, but she had an undefined dread that if she showed it to her father he would insist upon keeping it for his own, and she too well remembered her ex- perience in the affair of the lady’s gif. * The owner must be found at once,’ said she to her. self, * But how 7. Shall we put it in the papers ? Yes. that would be most strait forward plan, and then, may be for our honesty, we will get a handsome reward.” This plan seemed to be so correct, that not doubting for an instant tbat her father would acceed to it, she rushed into his presence with the glad tidings on her lips. * Oh father, I have found such a beauti. ful cross. ‘ Let us have a good look at it before the owner calls for it. Here are twelve large: white stones encircled by twice as “many red ones. I never saw such a perfectly beautiful ornament.’ ‘Let me see,’ returned the father, ‘ what have you found, some bauble, I suppose.’ ‘ No father, ao bauble, only look at it.’ As Lucy held it up a sunbeam coming thro’ the window lit upon its shining surface and a thousand butterflies of imprisoned light, taking their exquisite colours from the rare diamonds, danced over the walls ofthe room. Barton saw the sudden light and looked up surprised at his daughter. She stood there before him like a flower that had sprung from an old decayed trunk, so different were the child and the man —she, with her flushed face and graceful fig. ure holding up the cross in the sunbeam, with her dark eyes turned admiringly towards it— he, with his face full of wonder and coveteous. ness looking alternately at her and it. He sprang forward with greedy eyes to take her prize away, but she closed ber little hand tight. ly over it, and said: ‘Fell me first, father, what you are going to do with it.’ ‘I will tell you afterwards,’ replied he. ‘No,’ said she coaxingly, ‘1 think that the cross is mine until the owner comes for it, for I found it by the stone step in the street. Now I want you to advertise it.’ * Give it to me,’ said he coldly. * Promise me,’ reiterated Lucy. ‘I make no rash promises child,’ answered Barton, ‘ hand it to me instantly.’ ‘Oh, my dear father,’ said the troubled girl earnestly, ‘I did hope that you would let me have my own way about this. I did hope that when you saw this rich jewel you would have said to me, ‘ Lucy, go and find the owner,’ but I am afraid that you are not going to do that ? Yes, you are,’ continued she, tenderly, ‘I was mistaken. I think that you are Jooking more kindly now, something..as you did at mother those time when youloved her best. Your lit. tle Lucy can go and find‘the owner.’ Her father deigned to take no notice of this gentle and politic speech, but coming nearer to her said.sternly, ‘if you do not give me that cross I shall force it with my strong hand from your tender grasp, and crush them both perhaps, you bold, ungrateful child.’ Was Lucy angry at these words? No, not angry, but burt. Her cheek glowed with a deeper crimson, and her eye fell beneath ber father’s fierce gaze as she said, ‘I will give it to you, father, without your using furce, because you are my parent, but if you do not act about itas Lask you to, 1 think that some day you will be sorry for it, for your conscience will tell you that you are wrong ; and oh, remember sir, remember, that there is a God who sees in se. cret.”. Her small and trembling hand unclosed and placed the cross within her father’s brown and coarse pulm.. ‘ Lucy,’ said he, after examining it well, ‘these are real diamonds and true rubies. They will make us rich, girl, We can buy houses and grounds with them, and you and Lotte shall be ladies of the land. Hurrah!’ added be, in a sudden burst of exultation, ‘I have within my band, without one effort of mine, what I have for so many years been wishing for, and in vain—riches, riches, riches. Say nothing a- bout the cross, Lucy, as you value my favor.— I shall always keep it about me, until all fear of detection is over, and the proper time comes and then once more, burrah !’ Lucy could not sympathize with this wretch. ed spirit and she said to him, for the last time, ‘Then you will not promise me father 1” ‘Do you think me mad,’ replied he.‘ I pro- mise you nothing.’ The poor girl rushed to ber own little room, and, throwing herself upon her bumble bed, where there were no witnesses, wept uatil she was tired of weeping.

By this means we shall always have a fund in hand to reimburse. the owners for every slave stolen by the people of Boston.” r fied us that the Fugitive slave Jaw cannot be executed iu that city, it isa dead let- ter ; for, however, well disposed other non- the Law take its course, all that fugitive slaves in New York, Philadelphia, &c., would have to do, would be to betake themselves to Boston, where they would find a sanctuary. The Fugitive Slave Law there is nullified to all intents and purposes, and we of the South can look to bat two remedies for the insult and injury which has been heaped upon us. We must call upon the President to exercise the power with which he is clothed, and to exercise the law at all hazards. We are of the opinion that the President is not obliged to await official information from the Marshal that he cannot execute the law. It is sufficient for the President to know, no matter bow he may acquire the information. that the law is resisted, and this knowledge will justify him in using all the power with which he is in- vested to execute the law of the land.— The Marshal may himself be an abolition- ist, and may in his heart rejoice that he is unable to discharge his duty, and may, therefore, never give “ official” informa- tion of the fact to the President. He has it in his power, then, now to call out the forces of the Uuited States, and carry the law into execution. - He knows every body knows, that the law hasbeen nullified in Boston—that two citizens of the South, who visited that city.in quest of their pro- perty. were prevented from arresting their slaves, and bringing him op for examina- tion as to his identity—were imprisoned under notoriously false pretences, and af- terwards held to excessive bail, and final- ly, in terror for their lives, and to leave the city without their property. These facts are notorious to the whole country. The South, then, has aright to look to the President for the application of this reme- dy, which alone can. save the Union—tor as certainly as the sun shines, the South will, in the absence of this first and best remedy, resort to the second, and that is, secession from the Union. It will not do to talk to us of the South about the “ gen- eral prevalence of conservative opinions and feelings at the North.” It matters not to us the value*ofva*brass farthing whether the law.is*nullified by a multi- tude or by a squad=—by a million*of men or by a dozen.s In the one casefand iu the other, the result is‘ the same—we are cheated of out property—the constitution is nullified, and the contract which bound us together, having been violated by one of the parties to it, has ceased to be bind- ing on any. Rat if there ts this,“ general prevalence of conservative opinions and feelings at the North,” why do we not get the bene- fit of it? Why doesit not make itself known in substantial results? Why do the multitudes of conservatives stand by with folded arms and permit squads of abolitionists to run rough shod over the constitution and the laws? A curse on such conservatism as this we say. We would not give Sam Patch dead or alive for millions of such conservatives. Con- servatives indeed! They are about as conseryative as a man would be who, on seeing an incendiary apply a torch to his neighbor's dwelling, would neither give the alarm nor help to extinguish the flame. Pet.

We fully admit the right of the State to secede, when the guarantees of the Constitution are violated. and, in such event, to command the exclusive al- legiance of her sons. In truth and in plain terms, a careful and anxious observation of the progress of events has brought us to the conviction that a dissolution of the Union is inevita- ble. unless the course of legislation in Con- gress, and the Northern States, should be retrogressive, of which we have littleer no hope. We have said this much in order that those who are not blind may know where we are. While our columns are, as they ever have been, open to any temperate discussion of this subject, we do not our- selves now intend to discant upon. it, in other manner than to keep our readérs, informed of passing events. S We truly consider the “ argument_ex- hausted ” and the time for action at hard. It is the province and the duty of our Leg-: islators to point out the course to.he pyr- sued. That once done, the Pgorze will carry out their behests. THE NEW YORK UNION MEETING. New York, Oct. 30. In pursuance of the call signed by many thousands of the citizens of New York, repre. senting the capital, the enlerprise, and the sound healthy attachment to the Union, of the masses of both political parties of the Empire city, there was a grand rally at Castle Garden on Wednes. day evening, in behalf of the integrity of the Union, good faith to the Constitution, and obe- dience to the Jaws of the land. Whether-we consider the numerical strength of the assem. blage, says the Herald, the number and variety of industrial interests represented, the strength of its commercial representation, or the moaren- tous questions involved in its deliberations, this meeting is without a parallel in magnitude and importance in any political gathering that bas ever assembled in this great emporium. The following letter was read from Hon. Daniel Webster, Secretary of State ; FRANKLIN, N. H., Oct. 28th, 1850. Gentlemen: Nothingin the world bat regard for the state of my health prevents me fron) ac. cepting at once your invitation, and assuting you of my presence at the “* Union Meeting” at Castle Garden, on Wednesday evening next. I rejoice to Know that such a meeting is called ; [ rejoice to know that it will be attended. by thousands of intelligent men, lovers of the ebun. iry, party men doubtlesa, but abject’ slaves to no party, and who will not suffer either party clamor or party discipline to dry up within them all the fountains of love and attachment 16 the constitution of their country. [Applause.] The voice of such a meeting will be heard and re. epected; it will rebuke disobedience to the laws, actual or threatened; it will calf men who are honest, but who huve heen strangely misled, back to their duty, and it will give éuun. tenance and courage to the faithful triefds -of Union throughout the land. [Applayse.] | * When the great commercial interests of the great metropolis of thé country speaks, with united hearis and voices, expressing its convic- tion of the presence of the great danger, and its determined purpose to meet that danger, th com. bat with it and overcome it, the example is like- ly to rouse good men everywhere; and when the country shall be roused, the country will be safe. [Applause.] I concur, gentlemen, in all the political prin. ciples contained in the resolutions, a eopy of which bas been sent tome ; aud I stand pledg. ed to support those principles, publicly and pri- vately, now and always. to the full extent of my influence, and by the exertion of every faculty which | possess. The eminent men whom you mention, and with whose names you have done me the honor to associate mine, are well wor. thy of the praise which you bestow on them. I shall never forget, and I trust the country will never forget. the patriotism, the manlisess, the cov maujfested by them in an hour of difficulty and of peril. [Applause] The peace measures of the |get session are the Tezan boondary act, the act fur establish. ing the two terrijtosia) governments of New Mexico and Dtah, the act fur the abuijtion of the slave trade in the District of Columbia, and the Fugitive Slave isw. ‘Phis last measure, gentlemen, is not such a measure as [ had pre- pared before } leit the Senate, and whieh, of course; E should have 6 a, if had se- majoed in the Senate. But it reeaived the pro- per sanction of the two bouses of Con and of the President of the United States, Jt ie the character. shall decide on the mode.to be adopted, to relieve themselves from the* laws;-wiee-and-well d | bege-(rom renewing past ag acquirsce in the will of the majority, constitu. tionally expreesed ; and he who does not mean to do that means to disturb the public peace, ‘and to do what he cam to.overturn, the govern. ment. [Applause.] - . Gentlemen, Lam led to the adoption of your last resolution in an especial and emphatic manner, by every dictate of my understanding, and [ embrace it with full power of heart and mind. Its sentient is my sentiment. With you, I declare that I“ range myself under the banners of that party whose principles and practice are most calculated to uphuld the con. | stitution, and to perpetuate our glorians Union.” | (Lond cries of * Hurrah,” and applause.) Gentlemen.—I am here to recruifmy health, | enfeebled,as it has heen, hy ten months of ex. cessive labor and indescribable anxiety. ‘The air of these and my native hilis, renews my strength and my spirits. I feel ita invigorat- ing influences while | ‘am writing these few lines ; and I shall return shortly to my post, to discharge its duties as well as I can, and re. solved in ail events, that so far as depends on me, our Unien shall pass through this fiery tri- al, without the swnell of smoke upon its garment, [Overwhelming cheers, and waving of hats over all the assemblage. ] Tam, gentlemen, with very sincere regard, your obliged fellow-citizen, and obedient ser. vant, Daniec Wesster. To Messrs. F. 8. Lathrop. Gerard Hallock. Charles G. Carleton, P. S. Duryee, Com. mittee, New York. The conclusion of this splendid letter was followed by three times three for three cheers for Dickinson, and three groans, and repeat of these groans, mingled with a general hissing. for W. H. Seward. We append.two or three of the resolutions adopted hy the meeting. We have never doubt. ed but that the City of New York wags pertect. ly sound and right upon this subject : ‘Resolved, that the Fugitive Slave bill is in accordance with the express stipulations of the constitution of the United States. as carried oot by the act of Congress of 1793, signed by Washington, and in force at the time when the in passing a law which should be efficient for carrying uvtthe stipulations of the constitution, acted.in full accordance with the letter and spi- rirof that-iastrument, and that we will sustain this law, andithe execution of the same, by all ‘jawfil.means. Resolved, That in the opinion of this meet- ing, farther agitation of the slavery question in Congress would be fraught with incalcula- ble danger to'our Union, and that we will sup. port no candidate at the ensuing or any other | election, fur State officers or for members of | { . P ;most righteous cause of complaint. To | meet his case and to secure his rights un- Congress, or of the Legislature, who is known or believed to be hostile to the peace measures recently adopted by Congress, or any of them, or in favor of re-opening the question involved in them for renewed agitation. : Resolved, That we regard our obligations to the constitution and the Union as superior to the ties of any of the political parties to which we may hitherto have belonged, and that on all fu. lure occasion we will range ourselves under practice are most calculated to uphold the con. stitution and to perpetuate our glorious Union. Resolved, That we cordially approve of the recent measures of Congress forthe adjustment of the dangerous questions arising out of ac- quisition of territory under the treaty with Mex. ico, and that in consideration of the. various and discordant interests to be affected thereby, we hold that the Compromise is a fair one and ought to be sustained by every patriot in every part of the land. Resolved, That the heartfelt thanks of this community, and the whole nation, are due, and on our part, are hereby tendered, to those emi. nent statesmen and patriots, Clay, Cass, Web. ster, Fillmore, Dickineon, Foote, Houston and others, who, when they saw the Union in dan- ger, threw themselves into the breach, disre- garding all personal consequences, forgetiing all party predilections, and willing to be sacri- ficed. if need be, for the good of the country. Resolved, That by this patriotic devotion to the country’s good, in a ctisis 80 momentous. they have achieved for themselves immortal honor, and for the Union, we trust, an imper- ishable existence. A number of patriotic speeches was deliv. ed, and a* Union Safety Committee, of fifty appointed ; after which the meeting adjourned. TROOPS TO BOSTON. The rumorso current fora few days past, that President Fillmore had ordered troops to Boston, to assist in executing the Fugitive Slave Law, is contradicted by the Washington Republic, in the follow. | ing terms: It is not true that any communication has been made tothe President by the United States Marshal in Boston, or by any otber marshal, in relation to any ac- tual or apprehended obstruction to the laws; the cause assigned by the Sun's correspondent for the alleged orders of the President. It is not true that the Pre- sident has issued any orders with regard to the “ concentration of” any force in Bos- ton harbor, or anywhere else, with refer- ence to any such information or apprehen- sion as is above suggested ; the President has received no communication from any marshal, and has no thformatioa that leads him to believe that any peculiar dispotion of the military force will be rendered ne- essary for the execution of thé laws. It is true that there have been some eharges made by the.War Department in the position of the troops, It was deemed proper to relieve some of bat. notin the | THE CAROLINA WAT | people from the union of the States, | when there yet remained bope that the Confed- | months past avitated the country. ‘he the duty of every citizen to leave that distin.

Let no miserable coward ask what better can be trials for crimes, and the jadgments of the Court. The name of our late townsmas, J.

For our part, we have come to| this point:/ The Fogitive Slave Law’ must be executed. or we are ready to sev- | er every tie that binds this Union.) It | must he executed, or else we go for setting | up for ourselves ; and if our rights cannot | be secured to us under the Constitution, we most strike for them with our own) arms. | The question has come up. now, in a form which all can readily understand :| it comes up ina form which will not ade | mit of hesitation on the part of a single man in the South: there can be no fur. | ther pleading ; as much as we regret it, the time has come, if this law is to be nul. | lified by the free States. when every man | in the South must show his band, and that | promptly. He must either be for us or! against us. There is no middle ground | here. IJtis a plain case, and it must be | met with that warmth and earnestness. which its nature demands.

Crafts moved his beds and elothing into his shop, and made it his dom- jcil—his castle, In the meantime Crafts, on his own re- s sponsibility, without advice from any par- ties, determined on resistance.

Obedient to the call made sume days ago by nearly ten thou- sand of our citizens (mostly merchants) for a great Union Meeting, to be held without dis- tinction of party, at Castle Garden, on Wed- nesday evening, the 30th ultimo, a large and enthusiastic body of persons assembled there at an early hour, Your humble servant him: self went down about 7 o'clock, and was in- deed very agre#abty surprised to find what pow. erful demonstrations and combined efforts of all men of all parties were there being made for the continued union and perpetuity of our glorious Republic. The first thing that attracted my attention on entering the Garden was the patriotic motto, * The Union. It must andshall be preserved.” Further in, around the Balcony, shone four oth. er conspicuous ones, of a kindred tone; they were © Liberty and Union—Now and Forever —One and Inseperable.” “The Union must no South, no East, no West—but one Common Country.” The Union first—Party inter. ests afierwards;” while over the stage was suspended our National Flag, having attached to ita portrait of Washington and bearing the inscription ** One Country—One Constitution —One Destiny.” Ina lew minutes the meet- and President, Vice Presidents, Secretaries elected ; which being done, we were soon fa- vored with so@e eloquent and patrivtic speech. es from a number.of our most talented men, in favor of the Union. Messrs. Webster and Dickinson were axpected to be present, but neither of them attended. Approhative and conciliatory letters, however, were received and read tromeach of these gentlemen. Af. ter the letters were read and the speakers pret- ty well through, a long string of Resolutions recognizing the Fugitive Slave Law and the other Peace Measures of the late Congress, and embodying several other true, national and compromising doctrines was drawn up, offered, and adopted, and a * Union Safety Committee” appointed to carry into effect, as far as was in their power, the object of this meeting, which are “To revive and foster among the whole people of the United States, the spirit in which the Union was formed and the Constitution adopied, and to resiat every altempt to alienate any portion of our Country from the rest, or to enleeble the sacred ties which now link toge. ther the various parts.” I have here only given you a scant epitome of this great movement. You will no doubt find the full proceedings of it in some of your exchanges, and present the same to the read- ers of your improved and growing ‘“ Watch. man.” ‘The Woman’s Rights Convention held at Worcester last week has afforded a beautiful harvest for newspaper gossipping, and is said to have been a fair and complete demonstra. tion of the frailty and fickleness of the petii- coat tribe. They, like our Tailors, are “ stri- king,” not for higher wages exactly, but for higher power, greater privileges, and the as. cendency and predominence over their panta- loon neighbors. Lucretia Mott, one ol the prin- cipal agitators of that Convention, who is an old Quaker maid of about the ‘age of three score years and ten, and who is, I think, as little adapted to managing or wearing a pair of breeches as any woman I have ever seen, was “ moved by the spirit” to preach unto us dying sinners oo last Sabbath. But she did not con- fine her remarks exclusively to holy things ; ons; another for “*smoking in the streets,” contrary to the City Ordinance ; another under the statute against, “profane cursing and swear. ing,” (a plenty of which they did ;) another for | missing toll over the bridge ; and still another for fas! driving through the town of Cambridge. | Truly the Bostonians are law-abiding peo. ple! The combination of the tragical and the comical, and serious and the ludicrous, with the harassment of hand. bills, arrests, and crowd at their heels wherever they went, and the cer. | tainty that their process couid not be served Without bloodshed, overcame their obstinacy, and they took the express train for the South, waited upon by a large and respectable com. mittee. Knight and Hughes are said to be men of a low description, mere hirelings or speculators, ing no better treatment than they receiv. | ed. These various arrests, however, were not made by the legal committee, hut were the Voluntary suggestion of parties, taking the re. sponsibility upon themselves. ‘The committee Were prepared to serve a writ de homine repli- §iando, vpon the Marshal, the moment the ar. | Fest should be made, and thus to raise an issue between the Siate and Nationa! tribunals.— | They also proposed to hold Crafta to bail for | debt, in order to try the question whether the eertificate of the Commissioner will override the civi) processes of the State, made for other purposes, Asa last resort, Crafis was to be arrested on a criminal charge, for violent as. Sauls, with dangerous weapons, if he used them, and thus raise the final question of pre- cedeace between a criminal process of the State and ibe certificate of the Commissioner. If no other eriminal charge could be raised, it was proposed, with his own consent, to arrest him for fornication, (which is a criminal offence in Massachusetts.) on account of the invalidity of his slave marriage. These various technical obstructions and con. trivances were raised, not against the Consti- tution, but against the odious and unconstlitu- tional statute. Had the statutes been no more than the Constitution requires, no legal resist. ance would have been made, except on the real issue between the parties. As for the for. cible sesisiance of the negroes, how can they distinguish between ithe Constitution and a Statute? They only receive the simple. idea that, without trial or notice, father, mother, hus- ‘she touched considerably on her Woman’s | Rights, Politics, and the general interests of the times. She heartily repudiated slavery | and the Fugitive Slave Law—called slave hold- | ers all sorts of hard names—gave the Presby- \terians and every other denomination except ‘her own “Jesse,” and advocated a thorough | reform and reorganization of society. It was the first time I had ever heard one of her sex | spout wut a sermon or other discourse in pub- lic ; and unless my feelings deceive me very much [ shall never subject myself again tothe me disgust [ endured on that occasion. Capt. Faggart, of Boston, was to have made an @rial voyage over this city on Wednesday | last, in his new Flying Machine, but owing to | some awkwardness or mismanagement of those into whose hands he had committed himself on ‘entering the cars, his machine was wrecked | from the balloon just at the time it began to | ascend, and the Captain was precipitated into ‘the North River; while the balloon being loosened from the car, rose high into the air and remained sailing at random over the city ‘for several hours, in a most beautiful manner. ‘The Captain was rescued from his il fated pre- | dicament, and with as much faith and determi- \ { { i} | sa \ | | nation as the boy with the kite, said he would “make another and try again.” Our lovely Indian Summer has now passed away and grim winter is coming in rapidly up- onus. ‘The mornings, and evenings especially, are clear and cold, and the promenaders and business community generally, have already wrapped themselves up in their cloaks, sur- louts, and furs, Rare beef, cod fish, and Cro- ten water are our main pot luxuries.

It is very desirable to have a good hus- band,—they are valuable articles, if nol-rare. But a bad husband is certainly no! desirable. Just think, a lady marries, as she supposes a gentleman, it may be she thinks one of the most affectionately polite in all the country, in al the world—made a very graceful bow when a court. ing man—dressed fine, at least genteel—mad= many fair promises—conversed most Auently, at least fzppantly—and was in all respects a lady’s man—the very thing—couldtalk Bulwer, Scott, Dickens, or the Saturday Evening Post —or any of the family kindesation to which Eu. gene Sue belongs. But alas! afier a few moons have waned and fulled, he shows his real grit— he neglects his wife, and goes afier other wo- men, a thing he followed before he married.— Yes, he goes afier women. ‘Then he comes home.drunk, yes, drunk, a bruit; from among bruits he comes, of the basest sort, drunk, yes, drunk, and abuses bis wife and pollutes her home. Poor woman, she has an article most undesirable, one she cannot exchange.oe barter away. There he is to vex her soul, and break her peace from week to week, and from one Christmas to another ; there he is, the besotted visitor of the doggery and the loathsome broth. el. But poor woman, she is to be pitied by all, she is doomed to drag out her existence with him, and in silence too, it has been a hard bar. gain. We say to young ladies, such bargains are not desirable. ‘Take eare how you make your bargain. 3. It is undesirable to have a tattler in the neighborhood ; and happy is the community that has none, and yet the most.are cursed with them. Little villages are famous for one or 80 at least, and some of the fatest sort. ‘Thy are, to say the least, by way of compliment, an un- desirable animal in human shape. Indeed, they are ui.desirable in any shape, for they not only poison the atmosphere where they roam, but the winds, and even the breezes which vently fan our domestic chambers and parlors. The flavor and odor which the deformed Skunk etnits, is not half so offensive ; it may be en- dured, and may wear out and wear off. But who can live long enough to outlive the feited liquor cast upon them by the tattler? Alas! it is like the stain of indellible ink, as long. as there remains a shred to memory or sight, the stain remains, and the stench rises, ‘The ea. gle or the croaking raven, and the filthy buz.- zard, as obnoxious as they may he, are never- theless useful, and carry off, and bear away. of- fensive, infectious, carious animal matter. But the tattler only pollutes all they touch, yea, (hey even pollute pollution itself, and cause decay by their very breath. Yes, pollution is defiled by them. They are by no means desirable. He who comes under their operation is sure to come out Worsted and besmeared. There are indeed few ugly things in nature’s native dress, which has bodily shape. But to find an uglier thing in human shape than a slanderer, has not yet been born in the world. And when this cha- racter is joined to an otherwise elegant, mag. nificent, intelligent woman, ugliness falls pros- trate and expires! A tattler is not to be de. sired. Let them alone, and pass by on the oth. erside. Yes let them alone. 4. Another thing not desirable, is the Crr- cus. 1. Because it carries filih with it, and leaves filth behind it. 2. Because it brings no money with it, and takes much when it goes. 3. It sets every thing in a buz when it comes, and when it goes leaves every thing in a fog— addles the very brains cf the children in school and out of school—sets the darkies agog, and draws in all the wondering whites from their business. And what is seen at the circus 1— Many curious things! You see a woman ora small girl, or both, dance on the back of a horse, and leap from one horse to another as the hors. es gallop, and then lift one leg away up yonder —above the other, and then a man and boy turn a summerset, and then put their feet further apart than almost any body ever did before, &., &c. Well, these are wonderful things! But to nothing at last, and the tendency of them is only evil and that continually, 6. It is not desirable to have friends who seem to think of every one else befure they think of you. ‘They are articles that you do not know whether you have them or not, fur when you look for them, they are not to be found. There are a great many green folks in this little world of ours, and if it were not departing from my subject, and seeming to say a spiteful thing. I would say, that there are a great many bad folks. Weare sorry to say it, that there are so many things which do not look right, that we are forced to the conclusion, that at least, there is something wrong some where. There is a great scarcity of one article that all ought to have in abundance, vea too, honesty and truth and also of virtue, true friendship, love, good speaking, good acting.

THE DIAMOND CROSS. Written for the “ Schoolfellow.” BY CAROLINE HOWARD. ( Concluded. ) She sat in one corner of the ctore, with her brown rinklets falling over the pages 'of a book i. area she was very much interested, when she heard a voice seftly calling her name,— She looked up, and Henry Gray stood at the door, cautiously peeping in. ward and welcomed him. i: Sing » Come in, Harry, come in, and see what a treasure I have here; a@ perfect’ edition of Shakspeare illustrated. Is not this Desdemo pa exquisite |” ‘[ cant,’ replied Harry. >I am afraid ot your dreadful father, he looks as sour ag vinegar and stern as that old bust of Socrates, on the Tiel, and covered, I declare, ‘With about as much dust.’ ‘Hush,’ said Lucy, ‘dum speak of my fa ther so, you know that bis health has not been lately, and then the want-of more cus tomers in the store worries him; besides, he js not at home now, and he wont be for some time. Come in.’ ‘Well, then, seeing that the evast is really clear, and that there’s no danger of my being eaten up by the ogre, | with enter and briefly ell you what I did come for. We ar going to have a grand time on the first of May, you know, in a famous pic-nic out of town; we are to have flowers, and fruit, and fun, and also, a queen, the best, prettiest girl in the town) whom we shall crown with white rose budéy~ Mary Jones, and Sally Sparks are to be maids of honor, dressed in white and blae, with gar lands in their bands, while Bill Green and | are to play the part of esquires to our queen. ¢She is to sit on a@ beautiful throne, over cano- pied by evergreens. and not even the sun shall dare to shine on her most majestic Majesty, or IT am no true knight. ; ‘Well, Harry,’ replied Lucy, quite enchant ed, ‘ you have told me who are to be the maids and esquires, but you have omitted all mention of that most important personage, her highness, | the queen. Will Ellen Burnet take ber part? She is the best and most beautiful girl in town, and then she will enjoy it so much. As soon as father comes [ will ask him t« let me go and offer totake care of her sick mother for her, | while she is awys at the crowning.’ ‘Gu-ss again, Lucy,’ replied Harry, * but po we bave no lime fur guessing—the ogre may come. You are to be ous queen.’ . ‘1,’ replied Lucy, astonished. * father wont ” © You said rightly,’ said her father, coming in suddenly from the outside where he | had been listening to the latter part of the con. | versation. ‘1 will mut let you act any such | fool’s part. You have play enough here every | day without being an idje May queen, and as | ‘for you, young lad,’ said be. turning towards | Harry, ‘take yourself uff from my presence, | and let not your shadow darken these dvors | again.’ . Harry walked out as was desired, and while he scorned the old mano and his rudeness. he was indignant at the treatment which he saw that Lucy must be subject to. She did not re. new the sulject, the mere thought of which gave her su much pleasure ; tor she actually looged for a treedom of a day in#he woods, for she knew that she might as weil have hoped to move an old forest three as her father’s iron will, Still, morning after morning found her at ber post, with the Binie. Three or tour days before the eventful first of May, her beart was unusually heavy, and when she finished reading, the tears flowed silently from her eyes, and as she rose to go, she gave one uncontrol- able sob. Her father, astonished, raised bim. self in the bed and looked at her. He seldom saw her weep, and for one so young, she had acquired a singular self control, and he felt that something uncommon moved those * troubled | waiers’—her tears. ed ‘Come to me Lucy,’ said he, ‘and tell me why you cry.’ ‘For nothing, papa, the tears would flow | and [ could not help it: there, it is over now, see, | am not crying at all.’ ’But there must be some cause,’ returned | he, ‘are you not feeling well, or was there any thing inthe chapter you have just read that made you weep ?’ ‘No, sir.’ ‘Do you want to go to the May-day celebra. tion ? * Not if you want me to stay.’ ‘But you do, child,’ replied be, She came. for-. { let——. ‘you might as well go with Lotte, for you look a little pale, | and breathe the fresh air. There, dont begin lo cry again—I suppose it is for joy now.— Here is a bright dollar to buy something with to make you look smart, and another to get some good things with. Beity can go along ‘with you to carry them. Reatly you look so happy that I begin to believe what the chapter you have just been reading says—' it is more blessed to give than receive.’ * But, father,’ answered Lucy, quite overjoy- | ed, ‘ will you not gotoo? Do shut up the store for one day and come with us to breathe the fresh air, and see the blue sky !’ ‘Now, child, you know that you are aeking too much. Go to your room, I hear Lotte cry ing.’ But Lotte was soon comforted when she heard of the plan, and she pretended to be do- ing wonders in helping Lucy to prepare. The first of May at length arrived, and a more bright, beautiful, joyous, and child-loving day never arose upon the earth. Lucy had inform- ed Harry of her father’s altered will, and he had made every necessary arrangement. He, | together with a party of bis young companions, was to call for Lucy and Lotte, and bring them home again in safety. It was strange that Si- mon Barton was willing to trust his daughters to the eare of one whom he had driven from his house, but he must have felt, inwardly, that be was worthy of the trust, and that Harry would take the best care of them in the world. Lucy stood before her small defaced louking- giass and tied the blue ribbon around her curls with a simple grace ; saw that every fold jn- her white dress was arranged to her satisfac. tion and said, * Now, Lotte, what do you think of this * bunch of blue ribbon that ties up my bonnie brown hair?’ She sang the last few words and looked altogether so joyous and hap. py that Lotte clapped her hands and laughed. And then they both laughed and embraced a- gain and again. In the midst of this scene of childish rapture, a form darkened the entrance. It was that of Simon Barton. Lucy thought | which no traveller returns.’ “* KEEP 4 Cuece Uron acc vour ULERS. a ae “| NEW SERIES, be was her lather and vet not her father, for his..grey locks were combed smoothly out, while bis clothes, unusually clean and decent. took from him that air of vulgarity which was / common in his every day altire. * You dont mean to say that you are reall going,” almost screamed Lucy, ‘oh! how de. ligbtful.’ *To be eure Iam,’ replied the old man, cheerfully, *1 am going to take care of my little queen, and the princess royal, Lotte.’ Ob! how happy she felt at these words.— She bounded along with her companions, like a freed bird, while her father took charge of Lotte, and even lifted her in bis arms when she grew weary. Betty followed with a well laden basket, in the distance, grinning at such an unusual thing as a holiday, while Harry ventured to address a tew manly remarks to the transformed ogre, half doubting bis own identity in venturing sonear. It wasa day ne. ver to be forgotten by any of the party. ‘The queen’s white rose buds were an emblem of her fair self, expressing youth and purity, and as they were half hidden by green leaves— modesty. The table was laid out in the open air and loaded with good things and a merry dance ended the day. Simon Barton kept a- loof from the elder portion of the assembly. but his time was fully occupied by his care of Louie and in watching his queen-daughier, his beautiful Lucy. He called her to prepare to return home in the midst of the gayest dance, and she lefi her pleasures at his bidding, with. out a murmur. Qn their return home, alter the household wants had been attended to, Lu- cy ventured to lay her hand upon her father’s | shoulder and thank him for his kindness : * Thank you, father,’ said she, * what a nice _day we have had, and only think that you were the cause of all our pleasure.’ *[ am glad you were pleased, replied he, /‘ you were a good child to come away from that dance when I called you. to hed now?’ ‘No, sir, my Bible has to be read first—af. Are you going ter so much enjoyment I should be doubly thanktul,—good night.’ * Stop, Lucy,’ said ber father, and then fol. | lowed a well remembered pause, ‘ you read it to me inthe morning. why not at night too? Did she not hope atier that? I know that she did. Soon a change came over Simon Barton.— Some disease seemed to have seized upon his frame, and to Lucy’s sorrow, he refused to con. sult any medical man, saying that he would be better soon, but day after day saw him sink lower and draw nearer to that “ bourne from His neighbours had long ago been driven away from his doors by his rude conduct, and the little book store became more unfrequented, while Lucy’s cares accumulated each bour. She did not know that the thread of her father’s life would snap soon and suddenly. From the Charleston Courier. On Saturday, the 11th inst., the cars going South on the Wilmington Rail Road were the scene of one of the most exciting incidents which can be imagined. ‘They were crowded with passengers, the accumulation of two days —those ot the first day having been left behind at Petersburg. and camping out, near Halifax ; some passing the night inthe cars, some sleep ing ina road side shanty yclept the “ Eagle Hotel,” and others making the night vocal with concerts at the * Jenny Lind Hall,” a shelter of boards with a dirt floor. where * Aunt Chari ty’” did the boa her humble board to the ‘Way worn travelle About sunrise on the day referred to, when in thé dismal! part of a very dismal region, while some were dozing and others trying to follow their example, the ‘train meanwhile running twenty miles an hour, the monotony was suddenly broken—doors were opened, then shut again—passengers rushed in and others rushed out. * What’s the matter 1”? was the startled cry of those within —* What has happened?” * Fire, Fire, Fire?” was the ominous response. ‘“ Where, where, where is the Fire!” ‘The baggage car,” | said one —* the passenger car ahead” cried | another—* the car in the rear” said a third.— Then commenced a scene of indescribable con. ‘fusion. Here was seen a gentleman with sev. ‘eral ladies under his charge clinging to him for protection. ‘There a father, with an infant | in his arms, carpet bags, d&c., hanging from his elbows, the mother of the infant following in ‘the rear. Here one rushes frantic to the steps, and seems to meditate a plunge into the swamps below.

And then ensued the second scene in the dra. ma, less terrific, but scarcely less exciting than the first. The baggage car next the engine was wrapped in flame—the doors fast locked— ‘ where is the key 1’—no key is found— it was left at Halifax’+* break the lock’—‘ tear down the door’—- split ope ” A dozen man. ly fellows strive in.vain—the stout lock resists all their efforis—the door refuses to yield—no ate is to be had—every club or piece of wood is shivered in the contact. For a moment all seem to pause—hopeless of penetrating the car—then the attempt is renewed, and afier great efforts the hinges burst open and the doors fall to the ground. With the opening, the wind rushes in and the flames burst out more bright. ly than ever. A mass of burning trunks, band boxes and carpet bags is blazing inthe flames. Some mount the top of the car and cry for wa- ter. * Hand water.” Some rush to the engine for the needed element. One bold fellow (we wish his name was known to us) rushes into the burning car—a trunk rolling down strikes him and sends him headlong, from a consider- able height to the ground, to the eminent peril of his life. Another takes his place and man. fully battles with the flames. He. too, is a stranger from the far West, we believe. One afier another follows his example, and by their united efforts the blazing trunks, &c., were dragged out and thrown to the ground. Those on the car pour in water, deluging those within, and the flames arrested with a loss of perbaps one-third of the contents. of the car. Scene the Third is the tarce afier the trage- dy. One looks for bis trunk containing as he says $30,000 in gold. Another rummages for his box in which he has $3,000 worth of lace— one trunk is burnt half in two—exhibiting to the uninitiated the half consumed mysteries of a lady’s wardrohe—the Editor is surrounded by the scattered fragments (disjec ta membra) of his darling magazine—and to crown the whole a young lady from Augusta, draws from the burning pile the remains of three of the most capivating little bonnets Broadway could boast. See that pretty Jenny Lind silk, which was to have done so much execution—burnt Just in half, and presenting in its curtailed pro- portions, a fashion rather more unique than any tor which the great Songstress would have risked responsibility. When we last saw the lady—she was turning over her hapless bon. net in every way, for ‘a last fond look,’ and the last of the unfortunate object of regret was on the top of a pine bush! ! left in the solitude, was that coquettish Jittle ornament, intended to be the covering for a lovely head—the envy of the fair—the admiration of the beaux. But we have trespassed too long upon your columns and must forbear. We could describe, if we had room, the scene presented by the catastrophe—the mutilated and burning car— the grass and shrubbery trampled around frag- ments of sticks and clubs, and branches used as battering rams—here a leather hat box half burnt—there a large trunk torn off at locks and hinges—here a doubled barrelled gun with no. thing left but the iron—a coat here—a beauti- ful mantilla, a changeable silk, left adorning a bush on the road side—and strange to say,a good deal of cotton amongst the other articles (from whose trunks it came, gentleman’s or la. dy’s, [ know not.) All these together present. ed a scene not ofien to be met with. But all things must end, and so did this. We repair. ed damages, and went on our way rejoicing, many, I trust, with thankful hearts tothe Great Giver of all good gifts for the mercies so signal. ly exhibited in our deliverance. VIATOR. A GAMBLING STORY. Two friends sat over a game of ‘brag’ in this city fours years ago. ‘They played long, late and high, and at length quit, one five bun- dred dollars in the other’sdebt. We have said they were friends, and each knew the other was not so circumstanced as to stand so large a loss, although the excitement of playing had led them on from larger bets to larger still, un- til the event came a bout. ‘ Tom, you will have to take my note for it,’ said the loser, ‘and it shall be paid in thirty days.’ *O, very well.’ said the winner, dryly, pull. ing a segar trom his pocket and piercing the twisted end with his penknife. The ldeer snatched up a pen and wrote the note for five hundred dollars, payable in thirty days. art correct,’ said the winner coolly, and tak- ing the note from his unfortunate adversary. * Have a segar, Ned?’ Ned took the proffered segar, and the next moment opened his eyes in astonishment at seeing Tom deliberately poking the folded note into the candle for a light. ‘ Fire up, Ned!’ said ‘Tom, handing over the burning note. Ned knew his friend, and lit his segar in si- lence. The two friends soon separated with such a mutual exchange of friendiy sentiment as might be expected on so remarkable an oc- sasion. This is no fancy sketch, reader. The two friends have been separate wanderers for four years, and met each other again, for the first lime, since their parting the other day in Ca. nal street. Tom had been luckless and uofor- tunate, while Ned had been gradually creep- ing into fortune’s favor. In the course of the same day, accident brought to Ned’s notice a note against his friend Tom, for just 500 in the hands of athird person. Ned bought the note immediately, paying for it to the full amount of the claim, and in the evening the two friends met by appointment. ; ‘Tom, do you know | hold a note sgaiast you for just five bundred 1’ said Ned. ; ‘No, indeed. Why, how so?” said Tom in amazement. *O, yes, here it is, see—your note given to that firm on the levee. A small business trans- action brought it into my possession, ard by the way, Tom, I should like to have the money. ‘I can’t pay, it now. Ned, indeed I can’t ; but in two or three weeks at farthest, I can make myself ready for it.’ ‘Cancel this, and draw me a new note for thirty days,’s says Ned, very gravely, taking a segar from his pocket, and piercing the end with his knife, in precisely the same style Tom had used four years ago. ‘ All correct,’ said Ned, as he scattered the old note in torn fragments on the floor, and re- ceived a new one from Tom. ‘ Havea segar, Tom? %, BN, Tom took the idea of Ned’s design flushed upon hi: —_ * No, Ned, no—I re yer—yes. I see what you are at; but mine was a gambling debt,’ exclaimed Tom, rising to prevent the conflagration he saw was about totake place. ‘ Mine was a debt of honor, and so is yours,’ said Ned, with a facetious solemnity. ‘[ will pay yours as you once took the liberty of pay. ing mine,’ and ‘he thrust the paper into the candle blaze. Handing it lighted to Tom, ‘fire up!’ he exclaimed, in direct imitation of his old adversary at ‘ brag,’ four years ago. Reader, this anecdote is true. A WONDERFUL PRINTING MACHINE. The New York Tribune has the following account of a newly invented printing machine, which is expected to work a revolution in the newspaper press, and which certainly will have that effect if its capacity tor work be such as is described. We, however, must be permitted to doubt, at least the present :—Nat. Int. Wilkinson’s Cylindricul Rotary Printing Press.—The machine in every essential point differs from all others. In form it is simple and compact—combining the most perfect ease in movement with the greatest power in action of any press hitherto invented. The inventor, Jeptha A. Wilkinson, of the city of Providence, has devoted much time in perfecting this extra. ordinary combination, which now promises a new era, if he does not effect a thorough re- volution, in the art of printing. All the motions of this press are rotary.— The type are adapted to and brought into a per- fect circular form, and placed on cylinders; one of which is made to print the upper and the other the under-side of a continuous sheet of paper, which is made to pass directly through the machine and come out, printed on both sides, fulded into a convenient form, and cut off ready for delivery. All the reciprocating movements heretofore used are abandoned, and simple rotary motions substituted throughout. Consequently, the exceeding smooth and uni- form action of this press is almost exempt from the danger of derangement or getting out of or- der, and subject to very little wear. The types, moreover, possess in their shape a great advantage. ‘They are so formed that they must necessarily all stand the right way, and in their action upon the paper are not sub. ject to injury by being battered ; end they are much less worn and disfigured by use than type employed in the old way. ‘To which may also be added the important advantage of casting upon the radii of a circle, and using the cylin. der stereotype plates exactly conformable to the cylinder, and made to move like the type, completely in a circle. The velocity in the movement of this press is perhaps the most extraordinary feature.— Such is the astonishing rapidity with which im- pressions may be multiplied, that at an ordina- ry speed 20,C90 imperial sheets may with great ease be printed on both sides, folded and cut neatly from a continuous sheet, in one hour’s time. Thus 40,000 impressions can be made, beside the folding and cutting of the sheet, in one hour’s time, by a single machine without the aid of the human hand. With these advantages for quick work, this press can be stayed up to the very hour of is- suing the paper. There is no difficulty what. ever in placing the type on the cylinders. I[n- deed all the details of composing, arranging, taking proofs, and transferring are completely practical, and can be accomplished with the same facility as on the old plan. There is nothing, therefore, to prevent the success of this machine, the absolute cost of which is also much Jess than that of the Double Cylinder Napier Press, or any other used in the old way. It can be worked by any ordi- nary power, one man or active boy only being required to attend a press, place the roll of pa- per upon the machine, ard carry away the print- ed and folded sheets as fast as they are, by thousands, thrown from the machine. Thus the expense of numerous gangs of hands, such as are usually employed about the old press, ei- ther in printing, folding, or handling the papers, may he dispensed with ; and work which bith. erto has required from twelve to sixteen hands during must of the day and night, may now be performed by this machine and one hand only in the short space of two or three hours. The New Qrleans Millionaire.—We copy an interesting account of this singular charac- ter. It is not probable that his benevolent pur. poses in regard to his property will be realized, as the heirs in Baltimore are leaving no stone unturned to have the will set aside. Besides the lawyers employed at New Orleans they have sent Reverdy Johnson from Baltimore.— To give some idea of the extent of the property the Delta says,— ‘He owned three hund:ed squares in the rear of Livaudais, eleven squares in the rear of the Second Municpality, at the foot of Poy- dras street, and 16,000 lots in the rear of the First and Third Municipalities. He also owns the whole of the town of McDonogh, opposite to the city, which is laid out in squares and lots. ‘Vhis ie a part-of his suburban property. In addition to this, he has productive property in the city which yields an annual revenue of $200,000. He owns, too, large tracts of very valuable land in every parish of the State, to say nothing of immense possessions in the ad.- joining States.” More than forty letters were mailed in one day at New Orleans, to Mrs. Cole, Balimore, no doubt by lawyers who were willing to as- sist the lady in upsetting her brothe:’s will.— They did not know that Mrs. Cole had been dead several years !— Fay. Ob. Decent.—The following resolution was adop- ted at a meeting held a few days ago at Ska- | neateles, N. Y. :— “ Resolved, ‘That the infamous Bill known as the ‘ Fugitive Slave Law,’ is a disgrace to the drunken ruwdies who passed it, tothe mis erable tuol, who * accidentally’ bad the oppor- tunity to sign it, and will be a tenfold disgrace to any community which allows iis infernal provisions to be carried into execution.” Taggart's Balloon. —The Flying Machine of Captain Jobn Taggart, which went up from Jersey City on Wednesday week, withoat the captain has been heard from. The particulars are thus related in the Suffolk Democrat, (Huntipgdon, Suffolk county, N. Y.) of Friday : “On Wednesday evening last, at about half past 6 o’clock, a large bal!oon, with a beautiful car attached, descended near the house of Jonathan Gildersleeve, at Clay Pitts, in this town. The car became en- tangled ia the fence of a lane leading to the dwelling and barn, while the balloon gently swayed with the wind above it. “ When it was first discovered by a son of Mr. Gildersleeve it occasioned a good deal of surprise. and he called to bis aid a brother and his wife and his mother to assist in securing it. A large opening was made in the balloon to permit the air to escape ; but unfortunately at this mo- ment one of the ladies approached the balloon with a lighted candle, when, the inflamable gas took fire, and a violent ex- plosion immediately ‘followed, knocking down the whole party, and burning the two young men severely on the face and bands. The ladies escaped with very slight injuries. The baHoon was torn to pieces and enkindled into a blaze at the same time, and the beaufiful car. with its machinery, greatly damaged. The var- nished material of the balloon burnt so vividly as to set the fence on fire, which from its proximity tothe barn and d welling would undoubtedly have communicated the flames to these also, but for the unu- sual exertions of the injured persons, who though, in great agony, subdued the fire, by tearing down the fence, and throwing water upon the burning fragments of the balloon. The light of the explosion was noticed at the distance of several miles, and the concussion was so great that it was sensibty experienced by the inmates of a dwelling half a mile distant.” Explosion of Capt. Ta Mexican Boundary Commissions.—Ad- vices from the Mexican’ Boundary Com- mission have been received to Oct. 10th. The party was still at San Antonio, and as the progress of the train would necessari- ly be so slow as to render improbable its arrival at El Passo at the stipulated time, Mr. Bartlett had determined to start with thirty-five picked men, and proceed direct- ly to the appointed place, leaving the main body to follow more leisurely. We are requested to state, for the ben- efit of the many persons in this city who have friends in the Boundary Commission, that Mr. Bartlett has made arrangements with the Postmaster at San Antonio to forward by the Government or other Ex- presses, all letters directed to members of the Commission, at El Passo which are post-paid. This is necessary, as the mail route terminates at San Antonio. Letters should be directed tothe “ Mexican Boun- dary Commission, El Paso, via San Anto- nio, Texas.” Nat. Intelligencer. “ School Butter."—There prevails in East Tennessee, and it may be throughout the nation, a custom with country schools, both teachers and pupils, to regard any one who, in passing the school- house, cries out “ School Butter !” as offering the entire sohool ar unpardonable insult. A friend requests us to inquire when, how and in what had the thing its origin. Who can tell? Knoxville Register. Mullony says he was never hard up for a hundred dollars but once, and then the lender wanted ten per cent per month and the privelige of paying him half the loan in green cotton umbrellas. “ You want a flogging, that’s what you wart,” said a parent to his unruly son. « I know it, dad, but I'll try to get along withont it,” said the brat. It is stated in some of the German joar- nals, that Havnauo’s visit to London was for the express purpose of testing the state of public feeling towards him. The result must have been satisfactory. Going through the Mill.—A stammer- ing blacksmith attending at a court as a witness, in a money dispute between two of his men, was asked by the judge why he did not advise them to arrange the matter.

The following is taken from the “ Lau- rensville (S. C.) Herald,” being an extract of a letter dated Newserry C. H, Nov. 6, 1850. » ~ Mr. Epiror :—Yesterday evening. the gepnecs of ROBINSON & ELDRED'S Cifeus arrived in our town, for the pur- ose of ing op his bills. In the mean te, be bnaded S Secs of the New York as, full of the rankest Abolition senti- eitizens examitied the contents of Wagon, carpet trunks, &c., and [a large number of copies of the same Fadl eupe they ordered him to a tent 'h.

They'll not show here, and | hope Sou- thern tors will.ceace puffing such straggling companies, and Southern peo- ple quit patronizing them. : ONE OF THE PEOPLE.” On Thursday morning the town council Aad resolved not to grant a Licence to Robinson & Eldred, byt they recanted, , Robinson having made and subscrib- certain declarations, showing they not aware of the matter contained papers they had circulated, and they were “northern men with south- ern principles,” &c. About 10 o'clock the-long train of waggons passed through town towards a lot, where they proposed showing, when they were waited on by a number of the citizens of the place, and svented from raising their canvass ; hitched up their horses and wended jeir Way.towards Chester, where other ments, headed “ Look out for Ab- olitionists” had been paraded in the Ches- ter Standard ; as to their‘reception there, we have heard nothing. The. ef Yorkville have shown the true spirit—they have shown that the time of action has arisen—and that ven their love of amusement will not be fied at a sacrifice of principle. New ork Circus, and “ Northern Triumphs” arenot Calculated to please the ear or sight of southern men at this time—es- pecially when the advent of such compa. nies i Ided by a rank Abolition sheet and, the copy we saw, caricaturing Gen.

McRae, Esgs., conducted the defence ; and Mr. Solicitor Ashe and Hon James C. Dobbin for the State. At the time of putting our paper to press, the examination of wilnesses was not closed. The examination of Drs. Mallett and Robinson. and Rev. Simeon Colton, seemed to prove very clearly the existence of poison in the stomach of the deceased ; and their opinions, based upon their examinations of the contents of the stomach, and the symptoms of illness of which the disceased died, were, that he came to his death by white arsenic taken into the stomach. This having been es- tablished, other witnesses testified, that a serious disagreement happened between Mr. and Mrs. Simpson, but a short time previous to his death. That she read to a young woman, whom she employed in the house to sew, a letter from Mr. Simp- son, saying that he once believed she love- ed him, but he now knew she loved an- other better. That for the sake of their friends he would continue to live with her, but she must make him a seperate bed. It was further testified that she went to an old fortune-teller, who told ber a good deal of nonsense ; but among other things and at different times, that her husband would not live long, and that she would marry the one she loved ; that she turned the cups, and saw his coffin, and predict- ed his early death. It was further testi- fied that Mrs. Simpson’s amours with an- other man was the cause of disagreement between her and her husband. It was testified that she bought arsenic a short time before his death, and asked a gentleman what effect it had on ani- umals and men. Then the testimony of two boarders in the house, detailing her conduct at the ta- ble on the day before the death of Mr. S. throw dark and terrible suspicions upon the motives and designs of the prisoner. Her conversations but a few moments af- ter the death of the deceased, in regard to what the fortune-teller. told her, and of her foture course, all help to darken the picture and point to her as the only person who, in all reasonable probability, would have administered the-drug; and yet there is no positive.testimony, to satisfy aman beyond ali. shadow of doubt, that it was her that did it. : What the verdict of the jury will be it is impossible to say, but it is generally be- lieved that it will be either an acquittal or a mistrial. The Observer of the 19th instant, says :— The arguments occupied from 3 P. M. till 34 A. M. The Counsel! on both sides distinguish- ed themselves by extraordinary ability. Where all were able and eloquent, we can hardly dis- criminate. Every argument was listened to with intense interest by a great crowd, most of whom stood for many hours. The speaking was conducted in the following order: D. K. McRae, Esq., for the prisoner ; Solicitor Ashe for the State ; W. Winslow, Esq., for the pri- soner ; Hon. J. C. Dobbin for the State; and Hon. Robert Strange for the prisoner. John Winslow, Esq., was also of counsel for the pri- soner, but did not speak. Judge Battle made a clear and unexception-. able charge tothe Jury, who, after about two hours’ deliberation, returned a verdict of Not Guitty. = - a We have thus given a basty~sketch of ‘this remarkable trial—the first of the-kind, it is be- lieved, which ever occurred in North Carolina. May it be the last! The interest which was attached to it, induced a gentleman of the Bar to take full notes of the testimony, argu- ments and charge, a careful revision of which has been promised. Should we be able to ob- tain all these, in such an authentic form as to justify it, we propose to publish it in pamphlet form. Itis too voluminous for our columns. INSURANCE OF CHARACTER. We do not know if it can be said there is “ nothing new under the sun,” since there has been formed in London an As. sociation for the insurance of character. The assured who wish public situations, are enabled to offer security for good con- duct by the payment of a moderate premi- um to the Company, who guarantee his fidelity, and protect his employers from loss by defalcation or general misconduct. We think the plan an excellent one. It causes the hazard of becoming security for character, in the ordinary way of en- tering into bonds, to be divided among the classes who are benefitted by the emolu- ments of office—each one paying a small premium—instead of throwing the loss upon one or two, who are not benefitted atall,and sometimes resulting in their pecuniary ruin.— Commercial. Violent Measures.—From private sources we learn that bullyfying and bravado took place at the Union meeting at Columbia, on Saturday evening last. and that one individual had the temerity to draw a pistol and level it at the head of the Hon. R. Toombs, while addressing the people ; but was timely prevented fiom dis. charging his weapon. Had he done so, he would probably have been massacred on the epot. The speakers were also grossly inter. rupted “by severaf intemperate persons in the crowd ; one of whom gota back-handed lick in his frontispiece, which made him see stars inthe ceiling of the building.. Allthis shows that the cause of those violent men, is, by them seen to be desperate-—Georgia Citizen. ‘The Baptists have in the Island of Ja- maica,; 35,000, choreli members; the.

All re- members the fate of the Donner party.” ABOUT OYSTERS. One would suppose that an oyster was a créature neither in itself very susceptible of sofi emotions, nor capable of inspiring sympathetic emotions in others; yet it seems that both of these ideas are erroneous, for let beauty here- afier ponder well on these moral meditations of Charles Dickens, over The Tears of Oysters ! Listen to the outpourings of his sensibility on this theme, ladies fair! and then prize more highly still the pendent tear-drops of affliction which adorn your portals to the brain : Glancing round this anatomical workshop, we find, amongst other things, some prepara. tions showing the nature of pearls. Examine them and we will find there are dark and dingy pearls, just as there are handsome and ugly men ; the dark pearl being found on the dark shell of the fish, the white, brilliant one, upon the smooth inside shell. Going further in the search, we find that the smooth glittering lining upon which the fish moves, is Known as the nacre, and that it is produced by a portion of the animal called the mantle—and for explana. tion sake we may add, that gourmands practi- cally know the mantle as the beard of the oys.- ter. When living in its glossy house, should any foreign substance find its way through the shell to disturb the smoothness so essential to its ease, the fish coats the offending substance with nacre, and a pearl is thus formed. The pearl is, in fact, a little globe of the smooth glossy substance yielded by the oyster’s beard ; yielded ordinarily to smooth the narrow home to which his nature binds him, but yielded in round drops—real pearly tears—if he is hurt. When a beauty glides proudly among a throng of admirers, her hair clustering with pearls, she little thinks that ber ornaments are products of pain and diseased action, endured by the most unpoetical of shell fish. The Western Terminus of our Plank Road. —We are indebted to a friend in Greensboro’ for some information on this subject, which we cannot better dispose of than to impart to our readers as he has given it to us. He says that several letters have been re- ceived from a gentleman interested in the Taze- well,,Wythe, and Carroll Turnpike Company. of Virginia, urging the construction of a road from Greensborough to connect with theirs at the Virginia line. The citizens of that part of Virginia are very desirous that their road should connect with the N. C. Rail Road; for the reason, as they say, that all the Virginia markets are crowded with the articles which they have to dispose of. This of itselt shows what the Rail Road is destined to do for our State: It is the first instance, it is believed, when Virginia or any other State has shown a desire to make roads to get to our markets, for any other purpose than to carry off our trade from us. ‘The Turnpike is nearly com. pleted from Piketon, in Kentucky, through Tazewell, Wythe and Carrol! counties, in Vir- ginia, to the North Carolina line, at a point only about 50 miles from Greensborough.— Piketon is the bead of navigation of the Big Sandy, which empties into the Ohio about 80 or 90 miles from that place. ‘These points, as will be seen by the map, are in almost a direct line from this place to the Ohio river, at Guy- andotte, where it makes so great a bend in this direction, and where that river is only about 350 miles from this town. Piketon is some. what nearer to this place than to either Rich. mond or Petersburg. Our correspondent thinks that Fayetteville is more deeply interested in the desired connec. tion with the Virginia ‘Turnpike, than any oth. er part of the State. If, says he, ** we can on. ly manage to raise the funds to continue your the Virginia line, it will be of great advantage to Fayetteville to the Stockholders in the Plank Road, and to the State. Should this idea be carried into execution, | will guarantee that no part of the Plank Road will. be more profitable than between Salem and Greensborough, as there is now an im. mense trave!] between these two places.” We present our correspendent’s views as well worthy, both from his character and their own intrinsic importance, of the earnest atten- tiou of our readers. —~ Fay. Things at Boston.—We hear of no distur. hance at Boston since Messrs. Knight and Hughes were compelled to leave there by fear of personal violence and of further arrests. | Some of the papers of that city assert that the people of Boston hare no idea of allowing a few fanatics to abstruct: the execution of the law.. But we confess we see no reasons in any thing that has oceurred,to put the slightest confidence ia these declarations.— Fay. Ob. Plank Road to Salem, and then a Turnpike to | find their sent Owe favor of sound, f fépand conserva tive principles. = We have been led to these remarks from having seen certain resolutions recently adopted by a church body denominated, officially, the Synod of Pittsburg. A Sy- nod. according to the Presbyterian Eccle- siastical government, is, we believe, a body constituted by the union of two or more Preshyteries; and holding a middle place between the Presbytery (a local as- sociation of the ministers and elders with- in a specified district of country) and the General Assembly, or Grand Congress of the whole denomination, represented. by delegates chosen by the Presbytéries. A Synod, therefore, is a numerous body, uni- ting the pastors of many churches, and laymen of respectability associated with them in the government of an extensive portion of the church. The official re- solves and acts of such a body cannot but represent the collective sentiments of a very large mass of talent, standing, and high moral principle. In Pennsylvania the Presbyterian denomination is strong, and exerts a powerful influence. These considerations give great weight to the resolutions which we are about to quote, and their importance is of the more consequence at the present moment, as they relate to a subject that has so deep- ly agitated the public mind in all the Northern States, and especially at Pitts- burg. They were preceded by a debate which partook, in a modified degree, of the cha- racter of those in our National Councils, characterized, on one side, by ardent zeal and asomewhat ultra spirit, denouncing, in no measured terms, the fugitive slave law lately passed by Congress, and going, in some instances, so far as to recommend a resistance of the law. Happily those ad- vocating opinions like these formed but a small minority of the body; their resolu- tions and attempted amendments failed, and the Synod, by a very decided majori- ty, adopted the followitig temperate, wise, and creditable resolves ; Resolved, That it is inexpedient for the Synod at this time to give any formal expression of its mind in relation to the law aforesaid, leaving every man to act as a citizen in conformity with his obligations’as a citi- zen and a christian, in the wisdom and meekness of the G : 2. Resolved, That it be earnestly recommended to all our churches and people to observe with special fer- vor the apostolical injunction to pray for our rulers and and all in authority, that they may be just, ruling in the fear of God ; and that under the Divine favor, our Na- tion and Government may be preserved in their integ- rity, and happily guided to the fulfiment of its glorious vocation. We hail the temper which breathes in these resolutions, as affording a happy au- gury of future peace. Nothing rendersa disorganizing spirit so formidable as the connexion it has sometimes exhibited with the religious principle in the human breast. That principle is by its very nature in- domitable. It disowns all attempts at control from mere human authority, and still more from any considerations of ex- pediency. Its appeal is to higher law.— And whenever a feeling like this allies it- self with political notions and political combjnations inimical to the public peace and safety, it becomes one of the most dangerous elements of action that can be conceived. After all the unbelief and in- difference manifested toward religion, re- ligious feelings of any kind, where they do exist, are the most powerful springs of human action; and whoever can enlist them on his side in an attempt to change the existing state of things in any commu- nity, has an ally of the most formidable character. But, on the other hand, where the lovers of order and of peace seek for defences to preserve them against assault, they have, in the same feeling, a friend of the most potent energy. It is, then, most happy when a great public religious body, exerting, and deservedly, a strong and wide influence over the friends and pro- fessors of religion, puts forth that influence in favor of the supremacy of the law, the maintenance of a just and wholesome su- bordination to the Constitution? and in open opposition to the spirit of fanaticism which seeks, by a plausible appeal to re- ligioas principle, to cover and defend de- signs in open hostility with the plainest requirements of the religion of the Bible. National Intelligencer. THE PRICE OF PORK. We hear a good deal of inquiry as to the price pork will bear in this market | this season, but as yet there seems to be /no fixed price. Some of our farmers are | asking as much as $5 per hundred pounds, though our impression is that it will not bring more than $4. This impression is derived from conversations with gentle- men who are competent to give an opin- ion in such matters. We have heard of a sale in this county of a large lot of bogs at $3 per bundred gross. Oar Middle Tennessee exchanges seem to think that the price will range with them at from $3 to $4. The great number which will be batch. ered in the hog-raising States of the West. where the price will not exceed $3.50 will] materially affect the prices in our market. The highest price we have seen quoted in that portion of the South with which our people trade is $5 25.—Knorville Regis. ler. now »say, if they plea +} will be executed theret, ‘Vand Hughes, citizens of ort fugitives was resisted both by fraud.and force, | Afier experiencing threatened assassinatic | 1 Caortla che'« they were ordered “ fo quu”’ and did quity Even the National Era admits that the Bos nians had no more right to order tbem to “; than the people of South Ca olina or Georgt had when they gave similar orders to abolitia attempt to enforce the act, even with the aid of military force. Every attempt to execute the law will but exasperate the North and irri- tate the South. It will be well if the South will consent to let it remain a dead letter.— ‘Those who enacted a law which was knowa to be adverse to public sentiment, in the commu- nities where it is to operate, did it because it was deemed necessary to carry into effect the constitution and preserve the Union. If they bad been influenced by any other less worthy and urgent motive, they might be considered as having committed a mistake. If the execu- tion of the act is to be a test, in the South, of the continuance of the Union, it is unfortunate that it was passed. It was the only part of the system of compromise measures which was to reconcile the South to their adoption ; and it is the point upon which Mr. Webster and Mr. Clay laid the most stress in their first proposi- tion'of peace and compromise.” This writer must have ate of the “ insane root” if he supposes that the people of the South are such dolts and asses—nol to say recreants to their own rights—as to consent to let this law remain a “dead letter.” If those who passed the law did so because it was ** deemed necessary to carry into effect the constitution “dead letter?” Howecan it remaina ‘ dead letter” —as if there Was no such law at all— and yet “ carry into effect the constitution and preserve the Union?’ Can the constitution be carried into * effect” by a failure to execute one of its plainest provisions, or the Union be * preserved” by nullification of the bond which holds it together? Years ago when South Carolina declared ber purpose to resist the marshal of the United States in all attempts to levy executions on duty bonds, all Yankeedom was ready to invade her and vindicate the su- premacy of the Laws; and New England’s greatest man said most significantly in tefer. ence to what might befall those who resisted the execution of the laws—* It is an awkward business, Mr. President, this dying without touching ground.” Now, however, the case being altered, aliers the case. Mr. Webster, it is true, is where he was before—for the Un. ion, the constitution and the laws, as * one and inseperable,” but a portion of his fellow-citi- zens are in open rebellion against all—and if they are not put down and the constitution and laws passed under it shown to be, in effect as well as in theory, the supreme law of the land, then will the Union be dissolved. and dissolved, too, not by the South, but by the North—by the men who were most indignant when South Carolina threatened nullification. OUR WESTERN TURNPIKE. E. D. Austin, Esq., of Rowan, and A. H. Shuford, Esq.. of Catawba, two of the Commissioners, under the act of the last Legislature, to locate the Western Turn- pike Road: Maj. S. M. Fox, the Chief En- gineer; Capt. John D. Barnes, Principal Assistant Engineer. have arrived in this City, to make their report upon the survey, which they have completed. George W, Hays, Esq., the other Commissioner, is ex- pected this week. We have been polite. ly shown the maps of the survey, designa- ting the routes surveyed; and the one which will prebably be adopted will ran from Salisbury, through Statesville. Ire- dell County; near Newton, Catawba; through Morganton, Burke ; Marion, Mc- Dowell; Asheville. Buncombe; Waynes- ville, Haywood; Franklin, Macon; Mur- phy, Cherokee; and thence, twelve miles to the Georgia line. The report will be very favorable, we learn, as to the practicability, utility and cheapness of the work. It will pass through the centre of the wealthiest por- tion of Western Carolina, and over ground very favorably formed for aturnpike. In no part of the road East of the mountains will there be a greater elevation than one foot in twenty ; and in no part beyondthe mountains, greater than one in seventeen; which will afford easy passage to heavy- loaded wagons. The whole length of the road will be about three hundred miles. _ The elegant maps, made out by the En- gineers, also show that observations were made as to the practicability and cost of a railroad along the route, which resulted in the discovery that the whole way is ad- mirably adapted to the construction of such a work. It is believed that a rail- road may be made from Salisbury, by Asheville, (125 miles,) to the Tennessee line, (140 miles more—in all 265 miles.) for two and a balf millions of dollars ; and we do most ardently hope that the Legis- lature will change that part of the road, at least, which is to rap from Salisbury to Asheville, into a Rar Roa It wifl, no doubt, be highly acceptable to the people, who will, we learn, instantly scbsieribe their portion of the stock, and it will cost the State but little more than the Turn- pike. , . It is likewise ascertained that there isa most excellent way fora Rail Road, varying very little from the line of survey, along the whole route from Asheville tothe Geor- gia line; and there is no dogbt, that if a Rail Road is made to Asheville, it will ultimately, as it should, be continued also to Morphy, in Cherokee County. But more of this hereafter. ’ It is due to the intelligent Commission- ers, to the skilful Engineers, and’ to Gov.

They will pro. bably re-distriet the State, and so arrange the counties as to give themselves the majority of Representatives in thejatext Congress — And we look for a string “of resolutions of in. struction to our Senatofein Congress. Mr. Badger, especially, will be informed that be has misrepresented the views of his constity. ents, and unless he will behave better hereaf. ter, should yive up his seat in the U. S. Sen. ate. And Mr. B. will probably tell them that he knows his duty, and that his oath to support the Constitution of the United States being a matter of cunscience with him, he cannot per. mit any other rule to govetm bis course than his own clear convictions ag to what that duty requires. But we will forbear speculations as to what will be done. The time fs at hand and we shall soon see what we shall see. SUPERIOR COURT. Our Superior Court is now in session, his Hon. Judge Settle, presiding. His Honor is a prompt officer,—presides with dignity, aad keeps things etraight about bim. A little er. ample we will mention, occurred on Tuesday: A Stout, sandy haired man, from Davidson, we believe, came into the Court House, and al- though he made but little noise, yet be was annoysome to the Clerk and officers of the Court. His Honor observed bia from bis seat, and delivered himself thus : “ Mr. Sheriff, is that man drunk?” “| do not. know, your Honor: 1 put him out the Court House a little while ago, but | see be is here ageio.”’ “ Take him to jail—stop: his name !—re- cord it, Mr. Clerk.— Take him to jai!, and there let him remain until Court.” The last we saw of the poor fellow he was in the hands of the Sheriff’s deputy descend- ing the hill to the quarters assigned him. No ease of general interest has yet been tried. ; Murder and Robbery.—We \earn that Mr. John Yokely, of Davidson County, aged about 65 years, was found dead in his house on Sat- urday morning last. ‘There were marks of sev eral severe blows on bis head, and he was found laying across some chairs.. There is no doubt entertained of the fact that he was murdered, and that the perpetrator’s object was filiby Ju ere. Youkely was known to be in the posses sion of a considerable amount of money. His drawers were rifled of all the coin he had. A quantity of paper money, enveloped in some rags, escaped the attention of the desperale villain, the murderer, of whom no trace bat yet been discovered. Mr. Yokely was alone on the fatal Friday night, previous to the morning of the discore- ry of bis lifeless body. He was a drinking man, and report says was in the habit of driv- ing off bis family when intosicated ; and ‘be absence of his family on this occasion we bavé heard accdtnted for on the ground that be bed been drunk for nearly a week before be ¥4 murdered. Nashville Convention.—We were mist akeo, last week, as were also some others, a8 it 'e- gards the Nashville Convention. That body met in Nashville on Monday week last. Nasuvitue, Nev. 11, 1850- The Southern Contention re-assembied i this city to.day, purstiant to adjournment, was organized by the appointment of Got. McDonald, of Ga., as Chairman. ‘The 6°" ernor made a very eloquent opening address which stacked strongly of secession. Afet organizing, the convention adjourned until 1? ‘0’clock to-morrow. No roll was called, and there were only * bout filty delegates present, but many more hourly expected. CFA multiplicity of other engagements, ‘bis week, is our apology for any Jack of usval i0- terest in this number of the Watchman. further orders of this | S orer the Locofocos. In the city the Whig tri- is complete, but we fear that it will be a tight rub in the countey. Our principal city ofieers are all Whigs. Their names and re- spective offices are as follows : Ambrose C. Kingsland, Mayor; N. Bow. fitch Blunt, District Attorney; Welcome R. Beebe, City Judge ; Juha J. Herrick, Alms House Governor ; Osear W. Sturtevant and William A. Dovley, Aldermen. And out of the 19 Assistant Aldermen the Whigs hare 12. Of the 4 members of Congress elected intl city, 3 are Whigs and 1 is Democrat ; and of 16 members of Assembly elected in the city there are 13 Whigs and 3 Democrats. The returns from the country are not all in yet, but it is thought that a Whig majority in the the law, © ' hear of no attempt hem, and the fugi- slave till they reached the free States, were able to elude the vigilance of the marshal, and to effect their escape in his despite. But the public have a right to expect some more satis- factory account than has yet appeared of the process, and which have caused the seeming neglect of bis duty by the marshal of the dis. trict. State offices is now certain, though 1 be- ween Washington Hunt, the Whig candidate for Governor, and his Democrat opponent, Ho- ratio Seymour, will be very close, but we trust | she former will be elected. [ shall endeavor | \\e give you the final result pext_week. The New Yorkers are. beyond doubt now enjoying the greatest musical .and theatrical talent that bas ever made its appearance on this side the Altantic. At Tripler Hall we have the very queen of song , herself—ihe chasming, transcendental and immortal Jenny | Liod, Signors Perelli and Belletti, Benedick, | Hoffman and Anna Bishop, At the Astor Place Opera House we have the Nightingale’s celebrated rival Mademoiselle Parodi, Max Maretzek, Lorini, Novelli,and Sigoorina Truffi; while at the Broadway Theatre, we have, among otber noted actors, the eccentric and in- imitable comedian, Sir William Dore, an Eng. | lish Baronet. Besides, there are at present | sojourning ia our cily and acting at the various | theatres a large number of other distinguished | and highly accomplished artistes of some less | reputation than those just mentioned, but of al. | most equal talent and abilities; among whom > the names of Burton, Blake, Cushman, Clarke, | Christy, Grabam and Seoit, stand the most | prominent ; all “ Lively and gossipping ; Stored with the treasures of a tattling world, And with a spice of mirth, too.” In fact every theatre in the city is doing a smashing” business, and as success in any > thing always begets.competition, [ would not be surprised, though I should regret it, to learn that other and larger theatres would soon be erected. Since the grand Lind excitement in New York and other adjacent cities, has been so flatteringly wafied abroad, it seems to have | inspired other followers of tbe Muse and Dra. | | | —_—— ma with a determination to test their chances fora name and fortune in the same lottery ; | If we can place any reliance on the most re- liable journals of Boston, there is a determina- tion on the part of her citizens to uphold the execution of the laws. In our judgment, the marshal owes it tothe city which he belongs to explain the causes, which will doubtless be satisfactory, that have prevented him from the discharge of his duty hefore the final escape of the tngitives.— Republic.

Chalk and water is vended through the streets for pure Orange County milk ; and our bes! chickest pies are made out ol pigs feet. multon chops and clams. Yours, A. P. We extract the following from the last issue of the North Carolinian, for the benefit of all | concerned. | “On Thursday last, we saw a citizen of | Fayetteville, just returned from Boston, after an | unsuccessful demand for his slaves. He found that it was useless to attempt to execute the law. ‘That part of the population not active in resisting the law, were perfectly passive ; and although he thinks tbat a large majority of the people were in favor of executing the law, they yet take no steps to accomplish it. We think, however, he is mistaken. If a majority were willing \o execute it, there would soon be found a way to do it. He was very politely told that he was not safe in the city, and that he had better not stay. They were very anxious about his safety. ‘The officers of the law all declar- ed, without trying, however, that they could not execute the law. The gentleman states that he believes that even if the people of Massachusetts should not resist the troops, they will take an indirect way of refusing to execute it by running the fugi- tives off to Canada. He has no doubt that they are determined to prevent the slaves from being returned, in any event.” John McDonough, the millionaire, who late- ly died in New Orleans, finished his last Will and Testament, with the following beautiful paragraph : “ And (I was near forgetting still one small request to make, one little favor still to ask, and it shall be the last. It is, that it may be permitted, annually, to the children of the free schools, situate the nearest to my place of interment, to plant and water a few flowers around my grave. This little act will have a double tendency. It will open their young and susceptible hearts to gratitude and love to their divine Creator for having raised up, as the humble instrument of bis bounty to them, a poor, frail worm of earth like me, and teach them, at the samie time, what they are, whence they came, and whither they must re- turn.” that) I have Hard to Please. —Whilst the- Washington Union, and others, are complaining that the President is not prompt enough ia calling vut the power of the General Government to en- foree the execution of the fugitive slave law in Boston, the Charleston Courier objects that he is premature in taking any step until the people of Boston, the city authorities, and the State of Massachusetts, had successively been called on, and had exerted their powers in vaia. It is certainly far better, when practicable, - that the laws should be enforced by the local authorities, and we that until the Pre- sident is officially informed that that cannot be done, he will not move, and would not be justifi- able in moving. ‘The Union’s complaints are the more unreasonable because that paper it- self has the case of the celebrated Whiskey insurrec- tion in Pennsylvania, Gen. Washington, who was then President, waited two years before he called out the military to put it down, though during that whole time the insurgen's opealy and violently set the law at defiance. The President is bound to act deliberately, and upon officia} information. and this we presume Pre. sident Fillmore will do.—Fay. Observer. Haywood we have not yet received : Census of Haywood.—White population 3,. 806, black 518, Indian 740. Deaths from June 1849 to June 1850 105. Census of Henderson.—W hites 6.536, slave | 996.

Times, President Fillmore and the Fugitive Slave Law.—We find the following Tele- graphic dispatch in the Augusta Chroni- cle, g Sentinel of Friday morning : Macon, Nov. 14. “A long letter bas been received by Dr. Robt. Collins of this city, from Presi- dent Fillmore, in which he says that the Fugitive Slave Law shall be executed to the very letter; and if necessary, all the forces at his disposal, shall be used for that purpose. If officers fail to do their duty, says the Presideut, they shall be dismissed and held liable for damages.” We are by no means assured that any expressions of opinion, similar to those a- bove mentioned, addressed to private in- dividuals, are to result in any benefit.— The President of the United States should only speak officially on a subject involv- ing such momentous consequences as that of carrying out a law of Congress by force of arms. Besides, there is going on at this time, in Georgia, a fierce struggle be- tween two political parties, and the letter referred to, is addressed to a prominent leader of one of them. This seems to us to be in bad taste on the part of the Chief Magistrate of the nation.— Char. Cour. DELAWARE ELECTION.

The Boston: Advertiser states that the narrative con- tained’a bo { as much fiction as fact. It says: We are not informed, whether such a com. mittee as that above mentioned has been ap- pointed, and, if s0,-whether they have given the advice above att-ibuted:to them. We doubt if any of the gentlemen named have accepted such a commission. In regard, however, to Mr. Lowriog, we can say cunfidently, that he has never been applied to by any committee acting in behalf the Fugi- tive Slaves, or volunteered or pledged his ser- vices to any such commitiee, or authorized the use of his name by any such. He-has, we un- derstand, as we presume any eminent! member of our bar in general practice would do, on the application of the counsel of Crafts and his wife consented to act, without pecuniary compensa. tion, as their counsel in case they should be ar- rested, considering it the duty of every prefession- al man so applied to, to aid in the defence of a person so arrested; intimating at the same time, that although he considered some of the provisions of the law highly objectionable, he inclined to the belief that it was not unconsti- tutional ; and that in the event of any forcible resistance to the officers of the law, he must be expected to take side with the latter. Wheth- er any of the other gentlemen named, have giv- en more countenance than this, for the use that has been made of their names, we are not in- formed. . It deserves to be stated, that as yet there has been no actual resistance to the legal authori- ty. The arrest of Knight on civil suits for slan- der and conspiracy with the allegation of enor. mous damages, was a farcical proceeding, dis- graceful enough to the parties concerned in it ; but it was attended with no serious embarrass- ment to the party arrested, as it was easy to obtain bail for meeting the issue of so frivolous and obviously vexatious suit. It is not even pretended, in the letter above quoted, that these suits were advised by the gentlemen named as the committee. The noted Round Top tract of Land in Cumberland county, was offered, two years ago, at 25centsanacre. There are 800 acres in it. But since then the Fay- etteville and Western Plank Road has been commenced, and runs through it.— The proprietor has since been offered $2,- 50 and $3,00 an acre. But Round Top is not for sale now. So much for internal improvements. The Raleigh Standard has commenced appearing semi-weekly. In Tennessee. there are 365 Divisions, with a membership of 25,000.

We have, now, two Divisions in this place. John Bitzell, aged about 75, was lately found dead in a branch near Charlotte.— It is supposed he had gone to the place to drink, and falling in could not get out.— His hat, a walking cane, and an empty flask, were found a few steps from where his body lay. A new article of Cotton Bagging has been manufactured of the long moss found in the forests of the South. It can be pro- duced at a cost of only 8 cents. Mrs. Simpson, widow of the late A.

Chronicle. To the Ladies.—A curious fact is thus told in one of our exchange papers: ‘Take a string that will reach twice around the neck of a young lady—let her hold the ends in the teeth, and then if the noose will slip over her head to the back of her neck, it is a certain in- dication that she is married, or wants to be.” Try it, young ’uns.

OUR PRESIDENT HAS DIED! Without tumult or public commotion, a succes. sor takes his place ; clothes himself with the panoply of Executive authority ; assumes the control of the Army and the Navy, and the still mightier engine of political power, Execu- tive patronage ; while no voice, among twenty millions of freemen, breathes even the whisper of dissent! Although this successor had been designated amidst fierce and ardent opposition, yeta majority at the ballot box had so decreed it; and the supremacy of that arhitrament is acknowledged and acquiesced in by all sec. tions and by all parties. Many subjects of paramount importance to the State, will claim your attention during the present session. The duties of the Executive of North"Caro. lina have, hy cumulative acts of the General Assembly, become so multifarious and hetero- genous, that any reference to them,. must, of necessity, be succinct and desultory. In giv account of the manner in which they have heen discharged, | shall. at the same time, take a ra. paid review of the general condition of our State affairs ; and shall, with utmost candor and becoming respect, make such suggestions as in my judgment shall be worthy the calm our Government. AMENDMENT OF THE CONSTITU- TION. I) is not to he denied that a large, respecta- ble and inteiligent portion of the State are strongly inclined to alter the Constitution. When this topic was started a short while ayo, the desire of a change in the Government went no furtherthan a single alteration of the Constitution, to wit, to enlarge the personal right ot suffrage, so astoallow all white free. men of the State to vote for Senators, with or without freebolds. I need not inform you how much and how ra. pidly this demand for reform has enlarged. It already embraces a change in the basis of rep. resentation inthe General Assembly ; a change an entire revolution of our Judiciary system, and of the principles upon which it has stood from the begining of free government in North Carolina. Whether a majority of the people are dis. contented with the Constitution as i ts, and therefore really desire to alter it in any or all of these imporiant respects, I cannot undertake to say; theugh that is the question which, in ed antecedent to any Legislative enactments for altering the organic law of the State. A cer. tain mode of determining the point would be to pass a law atonce for taking the sense of the voters upon the question of change or no change. You will then know what public opinion is ; but until something of that kind shall have been done, any action that is intended to be based upon the popular will must rest upon conjec- ture. ‘This act may be passed by a majority of the Assembly. If the result of the popular vote should show either indifference or hostility to the change, none ought to be attempted by the General Assembly. If, on the other hand, in favor of the alterations, or any of them, the moral effect of this popular vote might suffice to procure from our Legislature the requisite constitutional sanction to any desirable reform. No one, I pre. previous vote of the people. alteration of their Constitution, without some Every have tha question settled and put to rest one way orthe other. Until it shall be done, there ' teration of the Constitution. | duty of acting upon each proposed alteration will be political agitation and sectional discord. These will bring forth a mutiplication of new propositions for altering the Constitution, and the people of North Carolina may be thrown into that perilous situation wherein the “de- sire of change pretendeth the reformation,” in- stead of that safe condition, wherein “ reform- ation only draweth on a change.” It may be, however, that a constitutional ma. jority of three fitths of the Assembly, coming as you do directly from among your constitu- ents, know already the will of a majority of the people upon this subject. If public opinion be favorable to immediate action, and you feel convinced, without any previous vote of the people, that this demand for altering the Con- | stitution is the demand of a majority of the peo- ple, then, of course, the necessity for an act to take the sense of the people will be supersed. 1 ed; and it is believed you ought toact directly | and at once upon the question, but according to the Constitution. for constitutional reform, either by calling a Conventien of the people at once, or by enact- ing specific amendments, and submitting them, first, to the review and decision of your imme- | diate successors in 1852, and after that, to the voters of the State, at the polls in 1853. | There are several interesting questions | eration, upon this view of the subject. I shall | refer to them briefly, not with any de ign to_ forestall the judgment of others, nor for the mere purpose of’ putting forward in advance of your action my interpretation of the Constitu- | tion; but beeause your action will probably | form a precedent in the future couree of the | State; and the consequences of a mistake might be very injurious to the Republic.— | Therefore, | would desire to have nothing done | without caretul investigation, and calm deliber- ation. This is all J aim at. ; ing. The Constitution bas clothed you with pow. | of January, er to respond to a known demand of the people | | November, and have nearly completed their session betore the Governor comes into office. The Constitution of 1835, we know, was framed and adopted upon principles of compro- mise. It was intended to adjust, upon equita- ble grounds, a sectional dispute and conflicting opinions, which had distracted our State Coun. cils for many years; and gocd faith requires an honest adherence to its true meaning, until it shall have been repealed or altered by the sovereign authority of the State, according to the ise in our amended Constitution. Now, if it should be the pleasure of this As. sembly, three fifihs, of all the members con. curring, to call a eonvention of the people, a slight esamination of the let section of the 4th Article of the Amendments will be sufficient to raise this question; Can the General As. sembly impose any limits or restrictions upon a Convention called by them, under this Arti- cle? Is the power to call Convention by the General Assembly, confined to the single office of calling’ it, or, cau the same Legislature limit and confine the powers of the Convention in the Act for calling it? As there are conflict- ing opinions upon this question out of the As- sembly, it is probable they will exist in it. I do not think that this article necessarily ex- cludes the right of calling a limited Conven. tion by the concurrence of two thirds of the General Assembly, provided the act for calling the Convention contains a limitation upon its powers with proper sanctions and the same shall be ratified by the People, by a vote-to be taken before their delegates shall be chosen, under the sanclions of a law enacted for the purpose. In such case, it seems to me, that the limit pre. scribed by the act would be imposed, not by the General Assembly, but by the constitu. tional sovereign authority of the State. Oth. erwise it cannot be doubted that a Convention called by the General Assembly ('wo thirds concurring) into being, but no power of them. selves to prescribe a limit to tts authority. I hazard little in saying that the people of North Carin have not hitherto exhibited a strong desire for such an experiment ag-this upon their Government; and, therefore, it behooves their Representatives to look well to the mode they adopt for introducing reforms into the Con. stitution. If it should be the pleasure of this Assembly to avoid the instrumentality of a Convention altogether, you can, of yourselves, initiate an al. teration of the Constitution, in virtue of the se- cond section of 4th article of amendments to the Constitution of 1835. To effect a reform by this mode of proceeding, it will be requisite that the alteration proposed, shall be sanction- ed by a majority of tbree fifihs of all the mem. bers of your body :—that the same shall be sactioned by two thirds of the members of the Assembly of 1852; and afterwards confirmed by a majority of the people voting at the Polls. Confessedly our Constitution has thus been hedged in against hasty or frequent changes, and there will be no little difficulty in procuring an alteration of it. Ought not this consideration to operate powerfully upon the minds of those who sincerely desire “fiee suffrage,” to prevent ifthey can,its association with other propositions for amendments? Would it be either wise or proper to unite into one bill several and dis- tinct propositions 7? If more than one, how ma. ny separate questions of the kind will you com- bine? The precedent to be set now, will pro- bably determine the future practice, and may it not be asked, whether it will be fair dealing to combine two or more propositions into an act, and so compel the people to vote against what they desire, or else to vote for what they do not approve? It is, therefore, commended to your serious consideration, whether each al. teration of the Constitution, when proposed, ought not to be presented by itself{—uncoupled with an associate to do it harm, or an ally to help it through. It has been intimated by en. lightened men of our State, that according to the true spirit and meaning of the Constitution, the power of the General Assembly to adopt a specific amendment, is confined to the ase of a single amendment, and that it would be a vio- lation of the 2nd article, for the Assembly to pass an act embracing in it more than one al- If this be so, the separately, and of enabling your successors, and, afterwards, the people, to do the same, is imperative. The opinions which I have thus hinted at, upon this important subject, might be enforced and illustrated by many considerations which I have not introduced into this communication, I content myself with what has been said, be- ilieving as I do, that the Executive of North Carolina is properly excluded by the Constitu- tion from the duty of taking part in altering the Organic Law. What bas been said is barely intended to awaken your vigilance and to ar- rest public attention to the manner, rather than to discuss the matter of Constitutional reform. In my opinion, the manner of dealing with this subject is vastly important, and will prove to | be much more than a question of mere form. In connexion with this subject, let me be in- dulged in a suggestion relating to the constitu- tional period for the installation of the Govern. or. The Governor of this State is elected by the People biennially in August; but be does not go into Office before the 1st January succeed. If the General Assembly met on the Ist there would be nothing objectiona- ble in this. But that body, chosen by the People at the same time they elect the Governor, meet in Moreover, the Governor goes out of office on the 1st day of January, but his successor is elec- ted in August preceding, aod therefore the Ex- ecutive of North Carolina is never called upon express his opinions or to communicate the policy of his administration, until he has been either re elected or superseded by the choice | of a competitor. This is not right, and it ought | to be ratified. Whenevera Governor shall be | willing to conceal his policy and avoid the just | responsibility of his station, be may be thus | enabled todo so. This is unjust to the people. | When he shall be ready and willing to develop | his plans of administration, there is but little opportunity affurded for it under the existing state of things ; for re-election, his enemies and traducers can pervert and a st pprese -| Tar River; interest payable. se. ents, without his being allowed a legitimate oc-| mi annually, principal to be pro- casion to expose falseb by a reference to vided for, 65,000 his declared and published opinions. That is | 10. For Stock in the “ North Car- not just to the chief Executive of the Siate.— Besides, there is a plain obsurdity in this : that where the people change both their Executive and their Representatives at the same election in August, the one does not go into office until the others have nearly clased their session ; and the two never consult together for the in- terest oithe State. Contrary to the theory of our government, the Governor, whose first election might have been intended to ensure the commendation of an important measure of State policy, has no fair opportunity to enforce it upon the Legislature, and his term of office may expire without his slightest participation in the matter. ‘This might be remedied by an act altering the time prescribed by law tor the meeting of the General Assembly. It ie re- spectfully submitted to your consideration, as a topic worthy of your notice. It is a political evil that ought to be corrected in some way. REORGANIZATION OF PUBLIC OF. FICES. A thorough reform and re organization of the several State departments is a subject that can be no longer postponed without detriment: t the public service. : The office of the Secretary of State is a mere land office. Almost the sole duty of its head is to issue grants and to certify copies, except the occasional employments of making con. tracts for printing and distributing the laws, and for the purchase of stationary and fire wood. In other States, he is made, what is greatly needed here, the head of a Bureau of Statistics, and is required to collect from all parts of the State information upon various subjects essen- tial to wise and wholesome legislation. The Public Treasurer, instead of being the keeper of the public money, to receive and to pay it out on vouchers first audited and allowed is left to assume the responsibility of determin. ing the validity uf all claims on the Treasury which may be presented ; while the office of Comptroller of public accounts, instead of be- ing what its name imports, the office, where claims upon the State are audited and allowed, and so certified to the Treasurer, is simply a depositery for the Treasurer’s vouchers and for a copy of his books. It must be obvious to every one that a remodelling and reform is necessary in these departments. And I can make the suggestion with the greater freedom and without just im. peachment of motive, as my official intercourse with the incumbents, has been in all instances of the kind and unreserved character, and is now soon to terminate. FINANCE AND STATE DEBTS. Invested as you are with the preservation of the faith and the honor of the State, it will be your first great duty to examine carefully her To learn her liabilities financial condition. and her means, and to make promptly and bold. ly such provision, as, while it may develop and increase her resources and afford aid and suc- cor to the various industrial pursuits of her cit- izens, will at the same time establish ber on a sure foundation to meet without let or hinder- ance the payment of her debts and the main. tenance of her credit. The reports of the Public Treasurer and Comptroller will, in due time, be laid before you, giving in detail the receipts and disburse. ments at the Treasury for the two preceding fiscal years. By these it will be seen that the receipts, under the amended revenue laws for the year just closed, exclusive of the trust funds belonging to the Board of Literature and Lu. natic Asylum; and the sums raised by loans, amount to about $135,000; showing an in- crease, over the average anoual amount receiv- ed under the old system, of about 52,000. ‘The ordinary expenses of the State, may with suf. | ficient precision for the present purpose, be sta- ted to average $75.000 per annum; and thus olioa Rail Road” by act of 1848; one fourth of which is to be paid when the work shall be com- menced, and the remaining three fourths instalments, at intervals of six months thereafter; inter. est payable semi-annually, prin- cipal afier thirty years, 2,000,000 11. For money borrowed from the Bank of Cape Fear, 40.000 Thus it appears that the liahilities of the State, already existing or authorized, amount, in principal money, to $3.520.052. And there will be required to pay the interest on this sum, with one instalment of principal before stated for the year 1851, the sum of $149.000. And in like manner for the year 1852, $207.- 000. In this calculation of interest, the State’s liability on the Wilmington and Raleigh Rail Road bonds is not included; for as that com. pany have heretofore paid promptly the inter- est on their bonds, their improved condition is a eafe guaranty that they will continue to do so. This calculation is predicated upon for the first instalment of her stock.subscription to the * North Carolina Rail Road” in the begin. ning of the ensuing year, and for the other in- stalments at intervals of six months, as allowed by the charter. And upon the further assump- tion. also, that the residue of the State's sub- scription fur stock in the Fayetteville and Wes. tern Plank Road Company, in thé Cape Fear and Deep River Navigation Company, and the appropriations for Neuse and Tar Rivers will be called for at an early day. But we have seen that the surplus in the Treasury, after the payment of the regular de- mands, will be $60,000 ; while the increased demand upon it for the year 1851, will be $149,000 ; and for the year 1852, $207.000 ; and, of course, that the State will require for the year 1851, over and above the whole a- mount that may be raised hy the present reve. nue basis, the sum of $89,000 ; and for 1852, the sum of $147,000 : Or, it may be stated thus : Amount required to pay State’s lia- bilities and interes for 1851, Add ordinary expenses for 1851 $149,000 75.000 $224,000 Deduct probable receipts at the Treasury according to present revenue laws for 1951, $135.000 Deficit to be provided for 1851, In like manner it may be shown that the deficit for 1852 will be $147,000 These results will be changed, to some ex- tent, in favor of the Treasury balances, by the coming in of the deferred taxes imposed on sun- dry articles in the 7th section of the revenue act of the last session. _ But no provision has yet been made for rais- ing the money for the payment of the residue of the State’s stock subscription to the Deep River and Cape Fear Navigation Company, of $60,000, and this amount must be added to the wants of the Treasury. To meet these demands, which can now be neither avoided nor postponed without public dishonor, provision must be made by the Gen. eral Assembly now in session. In addition to this requisition for interest, prompt steps should be taken for the establishing of a sinking fund for the gradual extinguishment of the principal of the State’s debt, to avoid the insupportable pressure upon the people, if it be postponed ‘ill the principal sball fall due. The most urgent inquiry, however, at present, is, how are the semi-annual instalments of interest to be met? By creating new loans and borrowing money— thus increasing the debt by compounding prin. cipal and interest every six mouths? If the demand upon the Treasury were fortuitous and not likely to be repeated, such a plan might, 89,000 the present revenue basis may be estimated (0 | with some, be allowable. But here is a sum produce an annual excess of receipts over the ordinary necessary disbursements, to be applied annually to the extinguishment of the State’s debts, and liabilities, of $60,000. The present indebtedness and liabilities of the State may be stated to be, 1. By a guaranty of Bonds of the Raleigh and Gaston Railroad ; the interest of which is payable semi-annually, and the principal | which must be raised for many conseculive | years, and until sume return shall be yielded from the profits of our public works. It is too plain for comment, that the temporizing policy of borrowing money to pay interest will be dis- astrous to the State, will impair her credit, and may reduce her. sooner or later, to the igno- minious and dishonest condition of repudiation. An absorbing crisis has arrived in the finan. cial affaires of the State, which requires the en. after 1st January, 1860, $500,000 ergetic exercise of all the caution, wisdom and 2. Do.

In the year 1825, a law was passed upon the subject for the first time ; a fund was created, a Board established to invest and manage it, and after a successful accumulation of its pro- ceeds, an act was passed in the year 1840, es- tablishing a system of Common Schools; and directing an annual distributiun to be made among the People of the net annual income of this.Fund, See L call your attention to the fact that, by the law of 1825, this fuod was set apast for the ed- -| to be ia a community holding slaves” and designed Gur the edigentioncmah sicdiieal nor of the poor, exclusively, but for all the w children of the State alike, ought,*in my; meal, to he divided equally ‘ dt am whether their residence opean I > aogier: t should be borne in mind that ¢ from which this annual income _ not raised by taxes on Federal po is from other sources of public revenue. “Theatre. gument, therelore, that this distribution + ould be made among the people according to feders _ al numbers, because it was derived from them on that basis of taxation, is without As to the argument that a portiua of the ital was received from the General ment in ber distribution among the Carolina be called upon to refund the money, it would be raised by taxing Federal populas tion, it is a sufficient answer, that at this late day, no man seriously entertains the opinion that the States will ever be called on to refund that money.

But this system is deficient, not only in ite organization, but in accountability, uniformity and its general management. For a period of ten years, about $90,090 have been placed annually in the hands of a various school committees of the State; a@ larger than the whole amount of the State's Revenue paid into the Public Treasury during that period. ‘This large sum, firming an gregate of nearly a million of dollars, has with. in this brief period been spent, and yet no ac quate provision has been made, much less en- forced, for even informing the people or their representatives what has become of it, or how it has been spent. The President and Directors of the Literary Fund, in obedience to an act of the last session of the General Assembly, compiled and pul lished, and caused to be circulated throt the State, six thousand copies of a pa containing an abstract of the School laws, tos gether with an appendix of precedents aad ap- propriate forms of returns. . In this, it will be seen that the Chairman of the Board of Superintendents in each coonty ts required, within fifieen days of the first day of November in each year, to report in writing to the President and Directors of the Lherary Fund a copy of his school account, audited and settled hy the committee of Finance or the clerk of the County Court of his county, togeth. er with the number of children in his county, the number taught in the sehools the preceding year, and the length of time the schools have been kept up Yet this duty has been perform: ed by only seven superintendents throughout the whole State; and I am altogether unable'to give you the information required on these points, or to make satisfactory exhibit of the disposition which has been made of these large sums of money. It should be made an pensable prerequisite to the payment, county of its quota, in future, that the cha of the board of superintendents should fle the Literary Buasd a copy of all audited and passed upon, together with bis tes port of statistics as required by law; and the Public Treasurer should be prohibited from paying out the money without a certificate from the Board that this rule bad been complied with. “At present there is no specific mode pointed out, nor is it made the duty of any par- ticular person to compe! the receivers of this ea 4 & © Mee counts. ‘Those who choose to do-so, them to the committees of Finance or Court Clerks ; while those who fail to do escape forfeiture or censure.

STATE’S CLAIM ON U. STATES. In accordance with a resolution adopted hy the last General Assembly, relating to the State’s claim against the General Governmen', for money advanced, and transportation furnish. ed to the North Carolina volunteers in the re- cent war with Mexico, at an early day after the adjournment of the Assembly, | procured from the Comptroller’s Office the vouchers and pa- pers pertaining to the claim, and caused them to be presented to the War Department at Washington, for the payment of the principal and interest, according to the provisions of the Act of Congress upon that subject. This claim of the State amounts, in principal money, to $9,467 73. ‘ In the month uf April ensuing, I was noti- fied by the second auditor, that the sum of $85 25 had been allowed and would be paid upon proper application, while the residue of the claim bad been rejecied. Whereupon, | addressed a letter to the Secretary of War, de- siring to know the grounds of this decision and to learn whether it were in my power to re- move the objections. His reply terminated our correspondence upon the subject, and at an early day afier the commencement of the late session of Congress, | addressed a circular let. ter to each of our Senators and Representa. tives, calling their attention to the matter, and inviting their co-operation in having payment of the claim provided tor by an act of Congress. A bill was accordingly introduced in the Sen. ate by Hon. Mr. Badger; it was passed by that body and sent to the House of Representatives, where it remained, without any final action up- on it, until the termination of the session. During the pendency of the bill before the House of Representatives, I was again notified by the 2nd auditor, that the additional sum of $100 had been allowed at his office. No steps have been taken to place these paltry sums in the Treasuary. No valid reason can be shown why this claim. of North Carolina should be rejected, while similar claims from other States have been freely allowed and paid. WESTERN TURNPIKE AND CHERO. KEE LANDS. An act was passed at your last session “to »provide for a Turnpike Road from Salisbury, “West, to the line of the State of Georgia.” By this act, it was made the duty of the Governor to appoint a competent and experienced Engin- eer and three Commissioners to survey and lo- cate said Road ;” and upon the report of the Engineer and commissioners being presented to the Governor, it was made * his duty further to appoint one of said Commissioners. or oth. er suitable person, to act as Agent of the State to contract for, and superintend the making of said Road.” The demand, in the neighboring States, for men of science and practical skill in civil en- gineering, for their various public works of In- ternal Improvement, was such, that I met with some difficulty and delay in procuring the ser- vices of a suitable Engineer for the work in question. Major S. Moylan Fox at length pre. sented himself, and being satisfied entirely of his skill and fitness, I appoioted him Engineer, and Messrs. Andrew H. Shuford, of Catawba; Joseph J. Erwin, of Rutherford ; and George W. Hayes, of Cherokee county, Commission. ers under the act. Subsequently, Joseph J. Erwin resigned, and I appointed E. D. Austin, of Rowan, to supply the vacancy. The extent of the reconnoisances and the number of ex. perimental lines necessasy to be run to deter. mine the most eligible route for a Road tra. versing a succession of mountains, which had unavoidably tu be crossed, required greater la- bor and consumed more time, than was antici. pated. Since the completion of the survey, the Engineer and his assistants have been engag- ed in making such a map, profile and descrip- tion of the Road, as would be indispensable to the State’s Agent charged with letting out and superintending its construction. This has delayed the report of the Engineer and Commissioners, and no agent to contract jo aud superintend the work has been appoint. In a few days I shal] make you a special communication, transmitting a topographical chart of the Turnpike, together with a copy‘of the report of these functionaries, showing the cost of their work and the expenses of the par- ty in detail; . and suggesting some alterations in the law which are believed to be needful. At present, I call the attention of the Legis- lature to an important inquiry connected with this subject. Among the funds appropriated and pledged for the making of this Road, are all. the debts now due the State for the sales of the Cherokee lands. It will be remembered that at the time when those sales were mace, a spirit of adventure and speculation, which pervaded the United States, had been awakened with many in the of these lands; while others, stimu- lated with the desire to retain their humble dwellings and improvements, entered also into the ‘competition of bidders, and that the land sold, in: some instances, fur tenfuld—in all, tor prices far beyond its value. While the public domain‘of the State had been granted, under the entry laws, at fee cents per acre to others, these bave been sold at from three to thirty dol- “Ympreesed with a knowledge of these facte, islature bas trom time to time granted ia ‘the collection of these debts: — ‘Fear 1624, an act was paseed establish. fat and alld hieetb bbe“ whe Were found Unable’ to payy to surrender their lands to the State ; di- i ot Auditors to and make | the had noid cabal’ fnsebtene purclandr their new. assessment, w are solvent be held to a bard compelled to pay more” land is worth ;—be foreec ; eases be q , ‘policy of the State not to oppress any of her citizens, nor coerce them to the fulfilment of an ill judged or ruinous speculation. Establish then a new board of auditors, who shall assess the fair cash valuation of the residue of the lands, and al- low all purchasers to retain themat that valua.- tion and be relieved from the excess. By this course you will secure the speedy settlement of this protracted indebtedness, and long vexed subject; grant fair and honest re- lief to an oppressed but patriotic people, and at- tach good citizens to the State ; while by the contrary exacting process, you ruin many and compel others, in order to save something from the general wreck, to abandon their homes ; to quit the State, and leave nothing at last for the satisfaction of their indebtedness, Lut the in- trinsic value of the land itself. I commend this subject to the generous and equitable consideration of the Legislature. In the original sales, all of the Cherokee lands not estimated to be worth twenty cents per acre, were not surveyed and offered for sale ; and there remains in addition, according to the reports of the State’s agents, a large quantity of these lands the property of the State not subject to the entry laws, and for the dis- posal of which no provision has been made. All of these lands having, by the act of the last session, been appropriated to the construc. tion of this Turnpike road, provision should be made at once for the bringing of the whole of them surveyed and unsurveyed, into market, that their value my be realized and made available for the purposes declared by the act. FAYETTEVILLE ol deca PLANK By an act of the last session of the General Assembly, chapter 89, entitled an act to incorporate the Fayette- ville and Western Plank Road Company, the Public Treasurer was required to subscribe, in the name and on behalf of the State, for three-fifths of the capital stock of said company, amounting to the sum of $120,000 ; and to enable the State to pay her said subscription, the Treasurer was required from time to time, as the money should be called for, to issue Bonds under the great seal of the State, signed by the Governor and countersigned by the Treasurer, and to convert them into cash. In obedience te the requirements of this statute, bonds to the amount of $50,000, to the 1st November instant, have been issued and the proceeds applied as directed, leaving an amount of $70,000 to be thereafter issued, in the manner and on the terms stipulated therein. ‘Thie subject will be again referred to in the Report of the Board of Internal Improvement, which will be present- ed at an early day. CAPE FEAR AND DEEP RIVER NAVIGATION COMPANY. In obedience to another act of the last session, Chap- ter 92, requiring the Governor of the State, upon cer- tain terms, conditions,‘and limitations therein expressed, to subscribe, in the name and on behalf of the State, for $80,000 of the stock of the Cape Fear and Deep River Navigation Company, I have made a subscription on the Books of said Company, for the first instalment of $40,000, and the Public Treasurer has paid over to the Company the sum of $20,000, as provided for by the Act. These Companies are ptogressing in their enterprizes with great vigor and success, and the residue of the State’s subscription may be expected to be called for in a short time. DEATH OF MEMBERS. Having received official notice of the death of John Exum, the Senator elected in August last for the county of Wayne, and of James Tomlinson, one of the members of the House of Commons for the county of Johnsion, I have issued writs. of election to the Sheriffs of those counties respectively. to open the polls at the different precincts, in said counties, to hold elections to supply these vacancies, according to law. STANDARD MEASURES. Standard Measures for the new counties and for Chat- ham, (to supply a loss from fire,) have been procured and transmitted, in pursuance of the act of the last session of the General Assembly. : CLUB FOOT AND HARLOW CREEK CANAL. In obedience to the Resolution of the Jast Session, re- questing the Governor to cause a conveyance to be made by the Clerk and master in Equity for Wake county to the President and Directors of the Board of Internal Im- provement, for the use of the State, of all the property in and appendant to the Club Foot and Harlow’s Creek Canal, which was purchased in by the Public Treasurer at a sale made by virtue of a decree of the Court of Equity of said county, the said deed of conveyance has been duly executed and filed among the valuable papers of said Board. NAG’S HEAD. The construction of a ship channel at or near Nag’s Head, between Albemarle Sound and the ocean, is of vast importance to the agricultural interests of a large section of North Carolina, and important also to general commerce. It isa work justly appertaining to and eminently de- serving the attention of the General Government, and should be pressed upon the attention of Congress with a pertinacity and zeal that should command success. Surely it cannot be that the General Government will pase over unheeded forever the urgent demand of a State not asking charity or private bounty, but the execution of a work so essential to the general welfare of the coun- oy: REVISED STATUTES. I recommend a new revisal of the Statute Laws of the State. The last édition has been ap) ies of the work can be ined. e public Officers and Magistrates of the new coun- ties cannot be supplied. It has now been 14 years since the laws were revised—many changes have been made and new laws passed within that period. The Statute Laws of the State should be revised by a body of eom- petent Commissioners, their defects pointed out, amend- ments suggested;the mew acts collated and arranged un- der their appropriate heads, and the work placed in such intelligible dnd convenient form, that the laws can be readily referred to and understood by the People. GEOLOGICAL AND MINERALOGICAL SURVEY. I hope I shall be pardoned for pressing upon the atten- tion of the Legislature this oft reiterated recommendation of making provision for a pgical survey of the State.

The meeting of the Legislarure being then near at hand, I deemed it more decorous to await your pleasure and-action in the premises. ‘No appropriation having been made for expenditures on such account, a portion of the expense.necessarily in- curred has been. paid by me, and I am personally respon- sible for the residue.

CHARLES MANLY. Executive Department oF N. C., Raleigh, Nov. 18, 1850. “THE CAROLINA WATCHMAN. Salisbury, N. C. THURSDAY EVENING, NOVEMBER 28, 1856. GOVERNOR’S MESSAGE. Our columns are occupied this week, with the Message of Governor Manly, to the exclu. sion of almost every thing else. But it is an able paper, and sets forth the condition of our State, present, past and prospective, in a most interesting manner. We bespeak for it a care. ful perusal. We are able, this week, to give nothing more of the proceedings of the Legislature, than the organization of the two Houses. In our next we hope to bring it up to the latest huur. THE COUNTY COURT of Davie was in session this week. We ne- ver saw such a small affair in the way of a Court before. ‘There were only three lawyers from other counties there, and they all left on Wednesday afiernoon. ‘There were not more than three dozen people in attendance. The Hon. J. P. Canpwett passed through Lis place this morning on his way to Wash. ington. Congress convenes on Monday next, CALDWELL & ASHE TURNPIKE. We invite the attention of all concern- ed, to the petition of the President and Directors of the Caldwell and Ashe Turn- pike, addressed to the Legislature now in session, to be found in another column. We have received, lately, a letter from a gentleman at Fort Defiance, who is well acquainted with all that pertains to the above work, from which we make the following extract : “ The interest long since excited in Tennes- see and Virginia in our new Thoroughfare, is daily increasing as the work progresses ; and is not even abated by the prospect of a Rail Road in that section ; and all who ride along that part of our Road now constructing, wiud- ing ite way evenly and comparatively level, along the Watauga River through the Stone Mountain, are ready to conclude that here must also be a Rail Road at no distant day. * We receive many solicitations, to forward our work from Tennesseans and Virginians, who are engaged in extending our Road to Jonesborough and Abingdon. The last from Mr. Lawson Gifford, (President I think of one of the companies,) written ca the 31st ultimo. He says, “I was on the Carter and Juhnson Turnpike Road last week. * * 4 We find that the contractors have held back very considerably, and partly oa, account of reporis that bad come from. North Carolina, that you had given’ twelve months longer to complete your Road. “Out ‘Raadd ‘bas’ progressed much better below the mountain than above: And ‘we will have it pretty nearly completed hy the He 27h November. , Will.you write to. me. and say what time your Road will be finished.— obtained if necessary. “ I beleve this well pleased with’a’Charter for extending: the | Central Hail Road from Salisbury to some point | on the-Tenmegsee and.

I say. wholesome, because the two routes are too far separated, to vaite fully upon either route, while the distance to the far, West, will be about the same, as it will be about the same to Knoxville.” G.. W. Caldwell.—This distinguished son of Mecklenburg county, was put upon bis trial county, for an assault upon R. Barringer, Esq., made between 9 and 10 o’clock at night, about twelve months ago, at Sadier’s Hotel in Char- lotte. He was convicted and sentenced by His Honor, Judge Settle, to twenty days im- prisonment. ‘The execution of this sentence created tremendous excitement in a certain cir- cle in the law abiding town of Charlotte ; and the Hornets’ Nest says that hundreds were de- termined to upset the judgment of the Court, and liberate Mr. Caldwell. Mr, Caldwell was, nevertheless, incarcerated; but the influence of the popular demonsiration‘in bis behalf, the influence of particular friends, and the advise- ment of the Grand Jury, was tvo powerful for His Honor, the Judge, to resist ; and so, afier imprisonment for a day or two, greatly against his wishes the sentence was remitted, aad Mr. C. went off, post haste, to fill his seat in the Legislature of North Carolina. New Yorks, Nov. 20th, 1850. ‘Good morning, Mr. Jones, | hope you are very wellsir,” exclaimed our New York mer. chant, Mr. Smith. as the former entered the sture of the latter but a very short time since. * You must have been to hear Jenny Lind sing last night, you seem to be eo weil pleased this morning. What's the matter,” continued Mr. Smith, with a winning smile upon his face, still grasping and heartily shaking the hand of Mr. J., the country merchant from the South. * Why yes,” replied Mr. J., “I did attend Jenny’s concert last night, and was so highly elated that | must acknowledge | have not got. ten exactly over it yet. But to change the sub- ject Mr. S., business presses me and I have but litle time to spare ; 1 have now come in to pur. chase another bill of goods trom you.

In the first place, have you gut a superior arti. cle of black French Bombazine 7” Mr. S.—O yes, I’ve got the very thing you want, walk this way, it you please, and let me show it to you. Nuw bere’s a piece, and here’s a piece, and here's a piece; look at them a!l and see if any of them will suit you, and if not, why we have other lots of various qualities aud prices which I shall be pleased to show you. Mr. J.—Don’t trouble yourself any fusther Mr. S., this piece will answer my purpose pre- cisely ; what is the price of it? Mr. S.—Nine shillings ($1 12$) per yard. Mr. J.—Let me see, there are 28 @unes willtake this piece. But bold on a moment, betore you lay it aside, you will oblige me having a dress patiern cut off for my wife, she is desirous of such a dress at this time, and re. quested that [ should bring her one on my re. turn home. Please have 13 yards cut off and let your boy take it '0 my Milliner to be made up; and put the remainder in the bill with my other goods. : Mr. S.—Very well, we shall be happy to accommodate you. The matter shall be at once attended to. But into which street and to what No, shall we send it? Mr. J.—To my Milliner, Mrs. - [don’t just at the present time recollect the No., but she lives up in Broadway is an excellent seamstress, and has been sewing for my family for a number of years. Her name is ——. By looking in_your Directory you will be able to find her address in full. Mr. 8.—All right, here is her name, Mrs. . Milliner, No. .

Mr. S.—But Mr. J., that Bombazine being fully a yard in width, isn’t 13 yards a litle more than is really necessary io make your wife a dress 17 Mr. J.—O oo, I suppose not, that is what Mrs. —— told me to get. Mr. S.— Well, if it is not too inquisitive for me to ask, how .much does Mrs. charge for making a dress of that kind? Mr. J.—Twelve dollars. Mr. S.—I bave no doubt you could have it made up in seme of the by-streets in equally as good style, and for much less money than that, if you would like to do so. Mr. J.—It is quite probable, but Mrs. —— is a very popular drese-maker, and it was my wife’s request thai I bave it made at her estab. lishment without regard to the cost. Besides, she has been doing our work.so long, and, has given such general satisfactién to my family, that I do not now wish to employ any one else. I know her charges are somewhat higher than these of other Milliners, but.the dress must be made at her shop. It dogn’t matier about the price. You may send it up, Dear Watchman—The above is as ly, as I am able to give it, 2 verbatim report of the conversation which I heard take piece a few morning’s ago bet ween a New York and a Southern merchant.

The citizens on these roads generally, and 0 the entire line of the and Ashe Tur pike in particular, with very emali exceptions, have given the right of ‘way even through fine bottoms and valuable meadow lands witbou! charge ; besides contributing a good deal voluateer work upon the same.

This body—what there was left of it— re-assembled on Monday, the 11th, and ad- journed on the succeeding Monday, the 18th. On the 2d day of the _ :ssion rep- resentatives were present from Tennessee Alabama, Mississippi, Georgia, South Car- olina, Florida and Vineintaa bees 60 in all. There was only one (Gen. Gordon) from Virginia. Ex-Governgr McDonald of Georgia, was chosen chairman and made a speech which favored secession, Every day up to the 16th appears to have been occupied with the introduction of resolutions, speeches in their support, and their reference to a committee. Most of the resolutions and speeches were of an ultra character, denouncing the Compro- mise and declaring in favor of secession, and recommending a Southern Congress, at such time as the States may designate. Some members, among them Gen. Pillow of Tennessee, dissented from the report, and while the discussion was progressing the Convention adjourned to Monday. Monday the 18th. The following is the telegraphic despatch of the closing proceedings : The report of the Committee of Reso- lutions, after much debate, was recommit- ted. The committee then reported the original preamble, striking out the resolve and submitting therefor a series of resolu- tions declaring attachment to the Consti- tution and Union, and that it was the pur- pose of that Convention to preserve them unimpared ; declaring that the Union of the States was a Union of independent Sovereignties ; and as all anticipated evil had been realized, recommending the South not to go into a convention of States but leave Congress to deliberate and act, with a view of arresting aggression and ‘Previous to the . oll m Iie 7 was ad [ere "etre Ter ese tion exp: determin: w from vention, by ] ing the proceed ing as uohallowed and onworthy of South- ern men. * Much confusion followed, amidst which the Convention adjourned sine die.

Commons Hatt, Raleigh, Nov. 19th 1850. Mr. Gates; In reply to a letter writ- ten before leaving home, on the subject of a railroad running from Salisbury or some eligible point of the Central Rail Road, west to the Tennessee line, I have rcceiv- ed since my arrival here, a communication from Dr. Williams. of east Tennessee en- closing the accompanying letter from Capt. Tilghman. You will oblige me by ite pablication, and gratify many of your numerous readers, who take a deep inter- est in this contemplated scheme. Very Respectsully, &c. T. GEO. WALTON. ENGINEER OFFICE. EAST TENN. AND VIRGINIA R. R. Jonessoro’ Nov. Sth, 1850. Dr. Avex. Wituiams, Greenville, My Dear Sm: Your's covering the very interesting letter of T. G. Walton, Esq., of N. Carolina came duly to hand, and I have the pleasure now of commo- nicating briefly my own views of the sev- aie subjects mentioned in Mr. Walton’s etter. Unquestionably the “ project” of the people of Western North Carolina is one in which all East Tennsssee most feel a deep interest ; and to show you the inter- est that I as a stranger among them, feel in the development of their immense re- sources, I can assure you, that this very subject of a connecting link with North Carolina, has had due weight in the final location of the E. T. and Va. R. R. which you will remember by an act of your Legislatore, is left entirely in my hands, I am not familiar enough with the char- acter of the country along which the pro- posed route would pass, to express an o- pinion as to the cost of a route between the North Carolina improvements and those of East Tennessee, but on this point I am satisfied from Mr. Walton’s state- ment. I only know that | have had the From the Daily Raleigh Register. asserting the rights of the South. }matter fully before me, and lest one of .* ed ed Mr, alt er £ ey an ie to | ta. say, Cockee, Sie af in Carter, Johnson and Washingtoa, by Shoold the French Broad route be the one, then a junction could be had with one line at Ball’s Gap, by following the flat bottoms of Lick k from French Broad —by the Watauga route a junction at Lacy’s on Watauga, or at Jonesborough, can easily be had. With regard to the prospects of the E. T. and V. Railroad and its bearing, upon the N.C. railroad. I have to say : lst. That in three years from this date a Train of Cars will pass regularly from Knoxville to the Virginia line. The cost of the gradation will cost less than 700,- 000 dollars, and the State will pat down the Iron and equip the road. We shall have fifty miles under con- tract this fall on the most advantageous terms to the company, viz: one half in cash payments, and one half in the Stock of the Company. — 2d. There are no clashing of interests betwéen the E. T. and Va. R. R. and the North Carolina project—there will be an abundance for all. In conclusion say to Mr. Walton, when you write that he ought not to let the mat- ter slumber, and I am confident East Ten- nessee will respond in due time. With much regard I remain, Yours traly, LLOYD TILGHMAN. Chief Engineer. E. T. & Va. R. R. Georgia State Railroad.—The Atlanta Re- publican of the 7th inst. says: On Saturday evening last, as the passenger train was com- ing down to the Western & Atlanta Railroad, the track gave way, from the rottenness of the timbers, the baggage car was broken all to pieces, and the first passenger car stove in. Several persons were more or Jess injured, and one, a fireman, named Patillo, mangled in a most shocking manner. One of his thighs was crushed, while he was otherwise cut and bruised most awtully. ‘Pa, isn’t that man in what is called the spring-time of life?” “Why, my son?” “Cause he looks so confounded green.” When will water stop running down hill? When it gets to the bottom. Why should whales he considered as good elocutionists? Because they are al- ways spouting. “] love the silent watches of the night,” as the thief said when he robbed the jew- elry store. “ The thing is up with him.” as the boy remarked of the man in the balloon. Why were the Mexicans at the battle of Buena Vista, like good wine? Because they both run from the grape. Expulsion of Free Negroes.—Yhe citizens of the District of Columbia are somewhat uneasy, it is said, on account of a proposition submitted to Virginia Reform Convention, for the expul- sion of the free negroes. ‘They dread the over. whelming influx of that class,and he would be made to the ten thousand already residing in the District, a majority of whom are idle and worthless. Curtis tells us that if a canary be hung in its cage at the head of a bed with close curtains, occupied by two persons, it will be found dead in the ie xchange. Yes and if Curtis were hung in the same place, it is highly probable that he would be found dead next morning. Nash. Gazette. MARRLIBDB. In this County, on the 2st instant, by Rev. J. H. M.

REPORT is in circulation that “ BOYDS HO- TEL in Charlotte is closed "—a wilful, wicked and malicious falsehood. Buacx and FIENDISH must be the HEART in which it originated. Ever since I located in Charlotte, a violent and vindictive opposition to my success has been exerted, and many FALsE and unfound- ed reports THROWN INTO CIRCULATION to prejudice the travelling community against me, all of which I have to- tally disregarded. Justice to myself, family and friends, demand at my hands a PROMPT CONTRADICTION of the last and most fatal in its tendency. BOYD'S HOTEL IS OPEN, and will be kept open by him, independent of all false- hoods and private communications—even should others be closed. The proprietor pledges himself to do all he can to please his guests, and intends to fight it out through ‘thick and thin’—no ‘suRRENDER’ in him. Bat- tery after battery may come against him, but he will stand his ground and outlive all misrepresentations. Pa- trons of the House can judge for themselves.

CALDWELL. We clip the following paragraph from the Fayetteville Observer. It will be seen that the feeling of those residing beyond the influ. ence of Mr. C’s interested friends, are not ex. | actly of opinion that he has been martyred. We have heard it intimated that the case as made out at Statesville, where Mr. Barringer was put upon his trial, differed very materially from the account of Mr. C’s trial as published in the Hornet's Nest. trial would be acceptable to the public, at this time, and we should be glad if some one who heaid it would write it out fur publication. We desire to say nothing as tothe affray be- tween Messrs. Caldwell and Barringer, except that the Jong account published by * Many friends of Maj. G. W. Caldwell,” makes out such a case as seems to us to be inconsistent with the finding of a virdict by a Jury against Caldwell. We are therefore led to suspect the fullness and fairness of thataccount. ‘The find- ing of the negatives the idea of such a justifi- | cation as the case presented by his friends would show. And after such a finding no im. partial man can wonder that an upright Judge should sentence the defendant to imprisonment. | We have heard it declared from the Bench, and | we confess with entire approbation, that im- prisonment should invariably follow every con- viction for an assault with deadly weapons.— We applauded the resolution of that Judge ; | feeling convinced that it was necessary, inor-| The “Standard” wastes breath, un-— der to prevent the carrying of arma, and the consequent frequent commission of murder.— And what is there in the character and stand. ing of Major Caldwell, which should exempt him from the penalty of the law ? devil be sent to jail for shooting his fellow be- ing, and Major Caldwell be exenipted from that unpleasant penalty? Who ever thought of inter. posing to prevent the former from being carried to jail, or of offering him a public dinner 1— True, Maj.

Every practitioner knows, how often the itching and burning of the ‘skin in scarlet fever, are unendurable to children, keeping them constantly in dis- ‘sleeping. Hence children are generally _well satisfied with this process, and often _ask for its repetition, long before the time | is come. | 3. The influence on the physical functions of the skin is still more important. Du- ring the coming on of scarlet fever the skin becomes diseased, in consequence of which it loses its vital power. During this illness, and until a new covering is again prepared for the surface, the func- tions of the skin are very imperfectly per- formed, or during the desquamination pro- bably not at all. In order to explain the extent and importance, of the impercepti- | ble functions of the skin in a merely me- 'chanical view of the matter, the reader _is referred to the accurate experiments of Seguin, which fix the quantity of matter thrown off from the outer skin at eleven | grains per minute in a grown person, and | therefore more than two pounds per day. | What efforts it must cost the organism to | lead so large a quantity into other paths, in order to throw it off, when the skin is | incapable of doing so! 4. With this disappearance of the des- _quamation disappear all those bad symp- toms which attend‘on it. In order to give 'a striking proof of the importance and bad | influence which the interrupted functions | of the skin produce on the healthy activi- ty of relative, even if distant organs, we may cite the fact that death is always the result where more than one half the skin _ has been destroyed by fire or boiling liquid. A similar destruction of the skin ensues in scarlet fever, with this difference, that it takes place gradually, and thereby the organism is better enabled, by employing all the activity of the body, to find aid a- gainstthe mischief which must result from the cessation of the functions of the skin. ice It is with pleasure we are able to an- nounce the appointment of Roland Jones, Esq., to the Judgship of this District. Mr. Jones has many flattering qualities to recommend him in his new position, besides the possession of remarkable energy and industry. He has been is called judicially to preside, and his feelings and interests are thoroughly identified with it. | He understands its wants, and will administer his duties with an eye to its social and moral advancement; which so largely depends upon a just and impartial and equal, though rigid ad- ministration of the laws. As a lawyer, his education wag, in the beginning, well grounded under the able tuition of Judge Story ; and since, has been fostered and ripened by an ex. perience, derived froma participation ina large and lucrative practice of many years standing. His opinions will consequently be marked by a comprehensive, and correct appreciation of the jaw and the principles in which it is founded ; and, from his peculiar character, by the strict. est and most rigid interpretation of even hand- ed justice. We congratulate the District upon the appointment, and at the same time tender to Mr. Jones our wishes for his continued pros- perity in his new capacity. — Caddo (La.)

Mr. Shepard iutroduced a series of resolu- tions, [which we regret the want of room to | publish this week,] affirming that the Constitu. | tion of the U. S. was a compromise, which | ceases to be a Constitution when its avowed purposes are perverted or changed. That al- though we love the Union, and view its de- struction as a great calamity, we nevertheless regard the right to secede from it as a right of | self-defence and protection, which the people of | North Carolina have never surrendered, and | never can surrender, with a due regard to their | own safety and welfare. That “ whenever a | majority of the people of North Carolina shall | solemnly resolve that they cannot safely remain | in the Union, it is not only their right but it is their duty to secede and punish such of ber citi- zens us refuse submission to her will, as rebels and traitors.” That the right is an extreme | remedy, not to be resorted to unless all other | means fail. ‘That the fugitive slave bill is con. | stitutional, and its repeal or essential alteration | will be sufficient evidence that Congress is un- restrained by the Constitution, and that North Carolina should then decide whether to submit to an unlimited government or resist. Thatany | action preventing slaves from being carried to | | any territories is an assault upon such property. That the injustice of the admission of Califor. | nia would never have occurred, had the South /been united. ‘Therefore the South should co- operate in demanding adequate protection to | | slave property carried to territories ; or an e- | | qual division of such territory. | HOUSE OF COMMONS—Nov. 23. | Mr. Blow introduced a bill concerning the | Raleigh and Greenville Plank Road.

SEN ATE—Nov. 28. Mr. Joyner introduced the following resolu. tions, which were ordered to be printed and referred to the Committee on Slavery. 1. Resolved, That the people of North Car. attachment to the Constitution and to the Un. ian of the United States ; that they are sensi. ble of the many blessings and benefits result. ing from this Union, and are sensibly alive to the great and overwhelming calamities which its dissolution would bring upon the people of this country. It is, however, nevertheless true that the long continued wrongs and increasing aggressions made by the people on the institu- tion of slavery as established in the Southern States—un institution guaranteed by the Con. stitution of the United States, and over which they have not one particle of rightful control, are gradually weakening and undermining this attachment, aud if persisted in, must inevita. bly lead to a severance of the ties which bind together the States of this:Union. 2. Resolved, That the Aets of compromise and pacification, passed at the last session of Congress for the admission of California, as a State, into the Union ; for the government of Utah and New Mexico; for establishing the boundary of ‘Texas ; for suppressing the slave trade in the District of Columbia; and for the recovery of fugitive slaves; though regarded by many good aud intelligent citigens as inad- paroled Bt dba Piaf yet, as a whole, if faithfully obsetved in all its parts, would meet the approval of the people of North Carolina. : 3. Resolved, That a repeal of the fugitive slave law, passed at the last session of Con. gress, or any modification, rendering its provi- sions inoperative for the great purpose design. ed, would be regarded as a wrong and an out. rage on Southern rights and property, justify. ing the most firm, united and determined re- sistance ; and in either of these events, North Carolina will unite with her Southern sister States in a Convention to provide the proper mode and manner of redress and determined resistance to further encroachments on theit rights. 4. Resolved, That whatever differences of opinion may exist, in regard to the right of one or more States to secede from the Union, there can be no question as to the natural right of ev. ery people, when the wrongs and oppressions of the Government become no longer bearable, to resist and to overthrow such Government foun. ded on principles better adapted to secure the rights of the people. To this dread alternative the Southern people may unhappily be driven hy the wrongs and injustice of their Northern brethren. Mr. Caldwell, of Burke, a bill to the public roads.

OF The member from Wake, who recently came back, from “ poor unhappy Spain,” seems determined to be the lead- er of the democratic hosts in the House of Commons, but whether he will lead them on to accomplish the great purposes which swelled his patriotic Bosom, when he de- clared that the best interest and welfare of North Carolina required the adoption of such a system of Internal Improvement as would “ level every hill and fill up eve- | ry valley from the seaboard to the moun tains,” or whether his course will better subserve the purposes and views of the Rolesville Indignationists, the resolution which he had the honor to introduce the | other day, in the absence of exposition upon the subject from Burwell Temple Esq., will best explain ! Indeed, we cannot imagine what has excited our knight from La Mancha to such a pitch. He seems to be as quick as lightning and as terrible as a thunder- bolt. At one moment fiercely calling to order, and at the next, hurling defiance | at his political adversaries, whether they fight with squibs or heavy artillery, and all in the same excited manner and with the same stentorian voice. Can it be genu- ine whoie-souled fervor? Is it possible that so much real fire lies beneath the frosts of so many winters? Or is there “some method in his madness 2?” there be anything—any office we mean— in the gift of this Legislature, which he desires? And, perchance, “to be or not to be, that is the question?” It is there- fore, because he is afraid his party may regard him as unsound, having, an ancient and fish like smell, truly,” upon the subject of Internal Improvements, that JuocrSaun- | ders displays such partisan zeal, and isin so hot haste to engraft permanently upon the Legislation of the State, such a policy as is indicated in bis resolution. There is an adge, that the old road, be- ing newly mended, is rougher than it was before ; or that, a renegade is a more in- tolerant Turk, than a genuine mussulman. But nous verrons.— Ral. Reg. | | | UNION MEETING AT NASHVILLE. A meeting in favor of the Union was held here on Saturday evening. It was attended, and presided over by | Jodge Cahill. Messrs. Ewing and Don- | aldson made strong speeches in favor of the object of the meeting, which they | considered an assemblage of both parties | to declare their attachment to the Union, | and rebuked the ultras of both sections of the country. VIRGINIANS ACQUITTED.

Cincinnati, New York, Boston, and other cities, have held similar meetings.— They are all good so farasthey go. But they are merely shadows. The South wants the substance : she wants actions to sustain these professions. Wee still trust we shall see them, and there is no doubt but they are the only thing that will save the country from destrue- tion. To stop short of this would be. adding mockery to injury ; and a people keenly sensi. ble of their wrongs, may be expected to seek redress even if they themselves shal! perish in the ruins, as did Sampson of old. Col. Pace, one of the speakers at this meet. ing, spoke like a practical and an honest man. _Tf the North will adopt his sentiments and car. ry them into practice there will be no danger. Hear him: | «IF we do no more but speak our sentiments toenight—if we do no more but to resolve, we shall bave done little towards effecting the great object we have in view.

[Applause.]’’ * * * 2 { “ Let us rally to the rescue upon this occa. sion; and a true way to assure the South, ae | was remarked by one of the eloquent speakers | who preceded me, is to let them alone, and en- force the law—the fugitive slave law.

There have been several deaths there, lately, by some disease not common in that commu- nity ; but we have no belief in the story of its being Small Pox. The newspapers there have not thought it a subject of suf- cient importance to notice, and we infer therefrom that the romors afloat are ex- aggerated to a very high degtee. | P.

CONGRESSIONAL PASSINGS. Gen Foote spoke at Aberdeen (Miss)on |Saturday, Nov 2d. The Independent says that his speech was enthusiastically received, and the most gratifying eviden- ces of popular approval were showered u him. Mr. Foote narrated on the occasion an anecdote strikingly illustrative of the high pitch of sectional passions in Congress.— When Doty and his co-laborers in the House were pressing a vote upon the im- mediate admission of California, Govern- or Brown, of Mississippi, went to Foote one day and asked for pistols. He told Gen. F. of Doty’s revolutionary plans, and of his own determination to shoot the free- people and Legislature thereof to unite with other Statesin a Congress of the whole South— was ordered to be printed. Mr. Wilkinson offered a resolution that the | Governor be requested to ascertain from the Federal Government, the purpose of sending | additional troops to Charleston. and whether | they were to remain at this port. ‘The resolu. tion was adopted.

From the Daily Register. SOUTH CAROLINA. The Legislature of South Carolina con- | vened on the 25th ult. Col. R. F. W. Al- ston was elected President of the Senate, and Col. James Simons Speaker of the | House. The Governor’s Message was transmit- ted on the 26th. We have only been able to give it a hasty glance. Aftera summary of local affairs, he enters upon a discussion of the relations existing be- tween South Carolina and the General Government, and reviews in detail the provisions of the compromise acts. These of course, meet with the general condem- nation already bestowed upon them by his fellow citizens, and he asserts that by the existance of those acts that the power and independence of South Carolina, as & member of the Federal Union, are gone forever. He indulges no hope that in her present condition, her rights will be re- Stored to her, and declares “ the time has arrived for ber to resume the exercise of the power of self protection, which in the unsuspecting hour of confidence, she sur- | He recog- | rendered into foreign hands.” nizes the necessity of the reorganization of the political system of the South, upon some safer and surer basis; but suggests the adoption of no specific act or plan to’ carry out his recommendations. On the whole, this portion of the message, though firm and eloquent, is much more moder- ate in tone than we looked for, and the conclading paragraph, which we quote, does not-forbid the hope that x mode of final and satisfactory adjustment may be discovered : “In recommending, as I do now, that South Carolina should interpose her sov- ereignty in order to protect her citizens, and that by co-operation with her aggriev- ed sister ates. she may be able to aid in averting the doom which impends over the civil institations of the South, it is fit and Proper that' as a Commonwealth, we should at an early day to be designated by you, implore the God of our fathers for the pardon of our manifold transgressions, and invoke his protection and guidance in this our day of trouble and affliction, that he would graciously vouchsafe to enlighten the minds of our federal rulers, the North'and its citizens, and direct them in the way of-trath, of reason and of jus- ce, and preserve a once happy political family from the uns Civil strife.” peakable horrors of | soil speaker(should one be forced into the chair) and to keep shooting. General F. told Gov. B. to get revolvers and go ahead | —and he would be sustained. He proceeded to say that all the revol- vers and all the pistol coats in Washing- |ton were bought during this excitement, by the Southern members ! Does this sound like the history of a Congress of sane freemen or of raving lunatics? 1f such be the spirit which |sectionalism can raise—‘ blacker than night, more horrible than hell,”—What patriot in the land will not strike it down wherever it shall lift its head ? Memphis Eugle. A DISGRACEFUL SIGHT. Passing up Fayetteville street on Sab- bath afternoon last, we saw two or three members of the Legislature, staggering drunk in the street, and one of them vo- ciferating most eloquently against the Order of the Sons of Temperance, and ap- plaading the moral courage of any man, who had the boldness to come out and |oppose them! Here were men sent to _the seat of Government by Religious and / moral constituencies, drunk in one of the most public streets of the city, on a Sab- | bath day, the laughing stock of every ne- gro and rowdy that passed by. What a humiliating spectacle! And is it right that they should be thus suffered to dis- ‘grace the counties from which they are ‘sent, without exposure? We say no /— _and we have almost come to the conclu- | sion, if we see any more of it, to give the | names and residences of those who have | so far lost all respect and decency both for themselves and those whom they are ‘sent to represent, as to be guilty of such ‘outrageous conduct. We believe it to be ‘the duty of the public Press to speak out with regard to such matters, and for our- self we are determined not to be mealy- |/ mouthed ,concerning them. A word to ‘the wise is sufficient.—Spirit of the Age. WILL hire out on the first day of January next, at | the late residence of D.

He then called himself Smith ; bat afier be left he changed his name to Mooney. He is about six feet high, full face, black hair tolerably jong, and clean- ly in his personal appearance. He wore a black broad cloth coat, torn under the arm, and the under part of the fore-arm. He wore black pantaloons,and had a new pair of saddle-bags which were well stuffed. He rodea large thin horse, color between a bay and a eorrel, with a large white spot on his right side. The horse was stiff from hard riding or founder. This man said he lived in Cabarras County, seven miles west of Concord; and that he married in Davidson County, aad owned a farm in Alabama.

A Card to the Public. REPORT is in circalation that “ BOYD'S HO- TEL in Charlotte is closed "—a wilful, wicked and malicious falsehood. Buack and FIENDISH must be the HEART in which it originated. Ever since I located in Charlotte, a violent and vindictive opposition to my success has been exerted, and many FaLsg and unfound- ed reports THROWN INTO CIRCULATION to prejudice the travelling community against me, all of which I have to- tally disregarded. Justice to myself, family and friends, demand at my hands a Prompr conTRaDicTion of the last and most fatal in its tendency. BOYD'S HOTEL IS OPEN, and will be kept open by him, independent of all -false- hoods and private communications—even should others be closed. The proprietor pledges himself to do all he can to please his guests, and intends to fight it out through ‘thick and thin’—no ‘sURRENDER’ in him. Bat- tery after battery may come against him, but he will stand his ground and outlive all misrepresentations. Pa- trons of the House can judge for themselves. I do not keep people for nothing, but charge the same as others _when they make one. J. D; BOYD. Charlotte, N. C. Nov. 1, 1850. 427 OR oO ae 0 Be ay I. Oy oe I, I Hy My M.

He has procur- ed from the offices of the Board of Trade afd Planta- tions in London many valuable documents. Rare valuable works have been purchased from abroad, tou ing the early history of our State, and each County, which have never seen the light. He has been kindly ided tlemen in différenyseetionstbiy copies of ori- ginal p hii jay ul traditional soll highly important afd interesting. a He does not aspire to the position of the Historian, bat hopes from records ard statistical facts to afford materi- alsto bler handa for this pleasing.an la- Sevier rons Meee eset book: of reference to the statesman.and scholar, and maa of basiness or leisure. Occasional extracts have been published in the Standard and other papers of this State, over the’signature of * Tacitus.” The History*éforth-Garolina is:yet toy be written. The remark which one of the ablest Historians of the age, (Bancrofi,) has been compelied to make, that “ so | carelessly has the History-of North Carolina been writ ten, thatthe name, merits and end of the first Governor is not kuown,” is a reflection uponvs. Anexamination of the early ‘history ofthe Coanties of North Carelina shows a record of the purest patriotism and indomitable courage. ‘This record is now covered by the dust of age, | and. aoknown by negiect. It is a debt which the present | generation owes to the past as well as the future to pre- | serve these mematials;, for ivoften eccurs in the history of our race, that facts known to one generation are con- | troverted by the next, and at a succeeding period are con- | | sidered as doubtful.legends, unworthy historical faith.+ | 1 Our Mecklenbarg Declaration of Independence, in May 1775, had almest been an illustration of this truth. “These are deeds which should not pass away, And names that must not wither; though the earth Forget her empires with a just decay, The enslavers and the enslaved, their death and birth.” This work witi be illustrated with a Map of the State, from latest surveys, and including the new ies" to this date, and sketches: in-- of some-of her beautiful scenery.

It will consequently be my endéavor to cause any further negotiations on the part of this Govern- ment, which may be requisite for this purpose, to be so conducted as to brmg them to a speedy and per- successful. close. 4 : é = nta- vex legislative power.

Citizens of the United States have undertaken der grants of the Mexican Government to a citi- zen of that Republic.

It has a tendency to drive the honest trader from the business of importing, and to throw that important branch of employ- ment into the hands.of unscrupulous and dishon- est men, who are alike regardless of law and the obligations of an oath. By these means the plain intentions of Congress, as expressed in law, are | daily defeated. Every motive of policy and du- ty, therefore, impel me to ask the earnest atten~ tion of C to this subject. If Congress should deem it unwise to attempt any important changes in the system of levying duties at this session, it will become indispensable to the pro- mitigate the e- vils complained of, should be at once applied.

The annexation of Tékxas and the acquisition of | California and New Mexico have given increased | importance to our Indian relations. The various tribes brought under our jurisdiction by these én- largements of our boundaries are estimated to em- brace a population of one hundred and twenty-four thousand. ‘ Texas and New Mexico are surrounded by pow- | erful tribes of Indians, who are a source of constant ' terror and annoyance to the inhabitants. Separa- _ ting intosmall predatory bauds,and always mount- | sae they overrun the country, devastating farms, destroying crops, driving off whole herds of cattle, occasionally murdering the inhabitants or car- | rying them into captivity. The roads lead- ing into the country are infested with them, where- by travelling is rendered extremely dangerous, and immigration is almost entirely arrested. The | Mexican frontier, which, by the 11th article of the | treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo, we are bound to protect against the Indians within our border, is ex;-osed to these incursions equally with our own. The military force stationed in that country, * | though forming a large proportion of the army) is | represented as entirely inadequate to our own pro- | tection and thé fulfilment of our treatysstipulations | with Mexico. The principal deficiency is m¢aval+ ry, and I recommend that Congress should, at as early a period as practicable, provide for the rais- | ing of one or more regiments of mounted men.

A duty laid upon an article which cannot be produced in this country—such as tea or coffee —adds to the cost of the article, and is chiefly or wholly paid by the consumer. But a duty laid upon an article which may be produced here, stimulates the skill and industry of our own coun- try to produce the same article, which is brought into the market in competition with the foreign _ article, and the importer is thus compelled to re- duce his price to that, at which the domestie ar- ticle can be sold, thereby throwing a part of the duty upon the producer of the foreign article — The continuance of this process creates the skill, and invites the eapital, which finally enable us to roduce the article much cheaper than it could ve been procured from abroad, thereby benefit- ing both the producer and the consumer at home. The consequence of this is, that the artisan, and the agriculturists, are brought , each af- fords a ready market for the produce of the oth- er, the whole seh becomes prosperous; and the ability to uce evi of life ren- pape dutt-bane war aa well in in : ' A high tariff can never ol aroee wm ty asfaction and will be changed. cludes vestment of * What the manu | that when‘changed it. brings, and ruin, upon.all who have been faithless ; should not fluctuate.

The appropriation already made will, it is believed, be sufficient to defray the whole ex- pense of the work; but further legislation may be necessary in regard to the compensation of some of the marshals of the Territories. It will also be proper to make provision by law, at an early day, for the publication of such abstracts of the returns as the public interests may require. | The unprecedented growth of our Territories on the Pacific in eect and population, and the consequent increase of their social and commer- cial relations with the, Atlantic States, seem to _ propriation which may become n looked or disregarded. | The questions in relation to rank in the army and navy, and relative rank between officers of the two branches of the service, presented to the Executive by certain resolutions of the House of Representatives, at the last session of Congress, have been submitted to a board of officers in each branch of the service, and their report may be expected at an early day. I also earnestly recommend the enactment of a low authorizing officers of the army and navy to be retired from the service, when incompetent for its vigorous and active duties, taking care to make suitable provision for those who have faithfully served their country, and awarding distinctions, by retaining in appropriate commands those who have been particularly conspicuous for gallantry and good conduct. While the obligation of the country to maintain and honor those whe, to the | exclusion of other pursuits, have devoted them- selves to its arduous service, this obligation should _ not be permitted to interfere with the efficiency of _ the service itself. | Tam gratified in being able to state, that the _ estimates of expenditure for the navy in the ensu- Ing year are less, by more than one million of dol- lars, than those of the present, excepting the ap- for the render it the duty of the Government to use all | construction of adock on the coast of the Pacific, its constitutional power to improve the means of intercourse with them.

"Where commerce is to be car ried on, and imposts collected, there must be ports and harbors, aswell as wharves and custom-how- es. Ifships, laden with valuable cargoes, approach the shore, or sail along the coast, light-houses are necessary. at suitable points for the protection of life and: property... Other facilities and securities for commerce ‘and’navigation are hardly less impor- tant; and those clauses of the Constitution, there- fore, to which I have referred, have received from the origin of the Government a liberal and benef cial construction. Not only have lighthouses, buoys, and beacons been established, and floating lights maintained, but harbors have been cleand and improved, piers constructed, and even break- waters for the safety Seber 2 . and sea walls to protect harbors from being up, and rendered useless, by the action of the ocean, have been erect- at very great expense. And this construction of the Constitution sehen the more reasonable from the consideration, that if these works, of such evi- dent ar Bad ees and utility, are not to be accom- plished y Congress, they cannot be accomplished at ail, _ By the:adoption of the Constitution the several States voluntarily parted with the power of collecting duties of-i in their own ports; and it is notito be‘expéeted that'they should rai money, by internal taxation, direct or indirect, for the benefit of that , tlie revenues derived from which do not, either in whole or in part, go into their own treasuries. Nor dol perceive aby difference between the power of Congress to make appropriations for objects of this kind on the ocean and the power to make appropriations for similar objects 08 lakes and rivers, wherever they are enough to bear on their waters an extensive traffic. 6 magnificent Mississippi and its tributaries, and the vast lakes of the north and northwest, appear to me to fall within the e- ercige: » a8 justly and ziéo. It i¢a tures judiciot ade for as expenditas for locat ; The position, of site-of the work, # necessarily local ; but its utility is general. A ship nal around the falls of St. Mary of less than a mile in length, though local in its construction, would yet be 0®- tional in its purpose and its benefits, as it would remove the only obstruction to a navigation of more than a thou sand miles, ‘ "several States, as.well as our com- mercial relati Caftada. So, too, the Breakw3- ter at the month of the Delaware is erected, not for the exctusive benefit of the tates bordering on the bay and river of that.name, but for that ofthe whole coasiwire navigation of the United States, and, to a considerable extent also, of foreign commerce. If a ship be bet o@ the bar at the entrance of a southern port for want sufficient depth of watet, it is very likely to be # north- ern ship; and if a steamboat be sunk in any part of the Mississippi, on‘ aecoant of its channel not having bee? properly cleared of obstructions, it may be a boat belong- ing to either of eight or ten states. I may add, 2s sume- what remarkable, that all the thirty-one States there is none that is not, to a or lese extent, on the ocean, or the Guif of Mexico, or one of the great lakes, or some navigable river.

It is hoped that those duties may be completed within the time which it ibes. The documents, however, which the Imperial Government, by the third ar- ticle of the convention, stipulates to furnish to the Government of the United States, have not yet been received. As it is presumed that those dec- uments will be essential for the correct disposi- tion of the claiius, it may become 1 for Congress to extend the period limited for the du- ration of the commission. The sum stipulated by the 4th article of the convention to be paid to this Government has been received. The collection in the ports of the United States of discriminating duties upon the vessels of Chili and their eargoes has been suspended, pursuant to the provisions of the act of Congress of the 24th of May, 1828. It is to be hoped that this measure will impart a fresh impulse to the eom- merce between the two countries, which, of late, and especially since our acquisition of California, has, to the mutual advantage of the parties, been much augmented. Peruvian guano has become so desirable an article to the agriculturtal interest of the United States, that it is the duty of the Government to emplcy all the means properly in its power for the purpose of causing that article to be import- ed into the country at a reasonable price. _No- thing will be omitted on my part towards ac- complishing this desirable end. I am persuaded that in removing any restraints on this traffic, the Peruvian government will promote its own best interests, while it will afford a proof of a friendly disposition towards this country, will be daly ap- preciated. The treaty between the United States and His Majesty the King of the Hawaiian Islands, which has recently been made public, will, it is believed, have a benficial effect upon the relations between the two countries. The relations between those parts of the Island of St. Domingo, which were formerly colonies of Spain and France, respectively, are stillin an un- settled condition. The proximity of that island | to the United States, and the delicate questions | involved in the existing controversy there, render ! it desirable that it should be permanently and speedily adjusted. The interests of humanity | and of general commerce also demand this ; and as intimations of the same sentiment have been > received from other Governments, it is hoped that some plan may soon be devised to effect the ob- ject in a manner likely to give general satisfac- tion. The Government of the United States will not fail, by the exercise of all proper friendly of- tices, to do all in its power to put an end to the destructive war which has raged between the dif- ferent parts of the island, and to secure to them both the benefits of peace and commerce. I refer you to the report of the Seeretary of the Treasury for a detailed statement of the finan- ces. The total receipts into the Treasury, for the year ending 30th of June last, were forty-seven million four hundred and twenty-one thousand seven hundred and forty-eight dollars and ninety cents, ($47,421,748,90.) The public debt has been reduced, since the last annual report from the Treasury Department four and seventy-six dollars hundred and ninety- five thousand two hundred and seventy-nine cents, ($495,276,79.) By the 19th seetion of the act of 28th Janua- ry, 1847, the proceeds of the sales of the public lands were pledged for the interest and principal of the public debt. The great amount of those lands subsequently granted by Congress for mili- tary bounties, will, it is believed, very nearly sup- ply the public demand for several years to come, | aud but little reliance can, theretore, be placed | on that hitherto fruitful source of revenue. Aside from the permanent annual expendi- tures, which have necessarily largely increased, a portion of the public debt, amounting to eight million seventy-five thousand nine hundred and eighty-six dollars and fifty-nine cents ($8,075,- 986 59) must be provided for within the next two fiscal years. It is most desirable that these accruing demands should be met without resort- ing to new loans. All experience has demonstrated the wisdom and policy of raising a large portion of revenue, for the support of Government from duties on goods imported. The power to lay these duties is unquestionable, and its chief object, of course, is to replenish the treasury. But it, in doing this an incidental advantage may be gained by en- couraging the industry of our own citizens, it is our duty to avail ourselves of that advantage. A duty laid upon an article which cannot be produced in this country—such as tea or coffee —adds to the cost of the article, and is chiefly or wholly paid by the consumer. But a duty laid upon an article which may be produced here, stimulates the skill and industry ef our own coun- try to produce the same article, which is brought into the market in competition with the foreign article, and the importer is thus compelled to re- duce his price to that, at which the domestic ar- ticle can be sold, thereby throwing a part of the duty upon the producer of the foreign article.— The continuance of this process creates the skill, and invites the capital, which finally enable us to produce the article much cheaper than it could have been procured from abroad, thereby benefit- ing both the producer and the consumer at home. The consequence of this is, that the artisan, and the agriculturists, are brought together, each af- | fords a ready market for the produce of the oth- ' er, the whole country becomes prosperous; and the ability to produce every necessary of life ren- ders us independent in a war as well as in A high tariff can never be permanent. It will | cause dissatisfaction and will be changed. It ex- ' cludes competition, and thereby invites the in- | vestment of capital in manufactures to such excess, that,.when changed it brings distress, baukruptey and ruin, upon all who have been misled by its | faithless protection. What the manufacturer | wants, is uniformity and anency, that he | may fee] a confidence that he is not to be ruined by sudden changes. But to make a tariff uni form and permanent, it is not only that the law should not be altered, but that the duty should not fluctuate, To effect this, al duties | The -papers accompanying the Treasury will he revenue, in variety and amount justify the conclusion thatit is -im- any system of advalorem duties vied. upon the foreign cost or value of the arti- cle, to secure an honest observance and an effect- ual administration of the laws. The fraudulent devices to evade the law, which have been detec- ted by the vigilance of the appraisers, leave no room to doubt that similar impositions not dis- covered, to a large amount, have been successful- ly practised since the enactment of; the law now in force. This state of things has already had a prejudicial influence upon those enga in for- eign commerce. It has a tendency to drive the honest trader from the business of importing, and to throw that important branch of employ- ment into the hands of unscrupulous and dishon- est men, who are alike regardless of law and the obligations of an oath. By these means the plain intentions of Congress, as expressed in law, are daily defeated. Every motive of policy and du- ty, therefore, impel me to ask the earnest atten- tion of Congress to this subject. If Congress should deem it unwise to attempt any important changes in the system of levying duties at this session, it will become indispensable to the pro- tection of the revenue that such remedies, as in the judgement of Congress may mitigate the e- vils complained of, shuuld be at once applied. As before stated, specific duties would, in my opinion, aff ord the most perfect remedy for this evil; but, if you should not concur in this view, then, as a partial remedy, I beg leave respectful- ly to reeommend that, instead of taking the in- voice of the article abroad as a means of dcter- mining its value here, the correctness of which invoice it is in many cases impossible to verify, the law be so changed as to require a home val- ‘uation or appraisal, to be regulated in such man- ner as to give, as far as practicable, uniformity in the several perts. There being no mint in California I am inform- ed that the laborers in the mines are compelled to dispose of their gold dust at a large discount. This appears to me to be a heavy and unjust tax upon the labor of those employed in extrieating this precious metal; and I doubt not you will be. dis , at the earliest period possible, to re- lieve them from it by the establishment of a mint. In the .ncan time, as an assayer’s office is estab- ‘lished there, I would respectfully submit for your consideration the propriety of authorizing gold bullion, which has been assayed and stampted, to be received in payment of Government dues. I cannot conceive that the treasury would suffer any loss by such a provision, which will at once raise bullion to its par value, and thereby save (if I am rightly informed) many millions of dol- lars to the laborers which are now paid in brok- erage to convert this precious metal into availa- ble funds. This discount upon their hard earn- ings is a heavy tax, and every effort should be made by the Government to relieve them from so great a burden. More than three-fourths of our population are engaged in the cultivation of the soil. The com- mercial, manufacturing, and navigating intercsts are all, to a great extent, dependent on the agri- cultural. It is, therefore, the most important in- terest of the nation, and has a just claim to the fostering care and protection of the Government, so fur as they can be extended consistently with the provisions of the Constitution. As this can- not be done by the ordinary modes of legislation, I respectfully recommend the establishment of an Agricultural Bureau, to be charged with the duty of giving to this leading branch of Ameri- can industry the encouragement which it so well deserves. In view of the immense mineral re- sources of our country, provision should also be made for the emplcyment of a compenent min- eralogist and chemist, who should be required, under direction of the head of the bureau, to col- lect specimens of the various minerals of our coun- try, and to ascertain, by careful analysis, their re- spective elements and properties, and their adap- tation to useful purposes. He should also be re- quired to examine and report upon the qualities of different svils, and the manures best calculated to improve their productiveness. By publishing the results of such experiments, with suitable ex- planations, and by the collection and distribution of rare seeds and plants, with instructions as to the best system of cultivation, much may be done to promote this great national interest. In compliance with the act of Congress, pass- ed on the 23d of May, 1850, providing, among other things, fur taking the seventh census, a su- perintendent was appointed, and all other meas- ures adopted which were deemed necessary to en- sure the prompt and faithful performance of that duty. The appropriation already made will, it is believed, be sufficient to defray the whole ex- pense of the work; but further legislation may be necessary in regard to the compensation of some of the marshals of the Territories. It will also be proper to make provision by law, at an early day, for the publication of such abstracts of the returns as the public interests may require. The unprecedented growth of our Territories on the Pacific in wealth and population, and the consequent increase of their social and commer- cial relations with the Atlantic States, seem to render it the duty of the Government to use all its constitutional power to improve the means of intercourse with them. The importance of open- ing “a line of communication, the best and most expeditious of which the nature of the country will admit,” between the valley of the Mississippi and the Pacific, was brought to your notice by my predecessor, in his annual message ; and as the reasons which he presented in favor of the measure sti'l exist in full fore, I beg leave to re- peat the recommendations then made by him. The uncertainty which = in regard to the validity of land titles in California is a subject which demands your early consideration. Large bodies of land ip that State are claimed under grants said to‘have been made by authority of the Spanish and Mexican Governments. y of these have not been perfected, others haye been revoked, and some are believed to be frandulent, “But until they shal} have investiga, and, they Wffoafins $9 feaatt the tet emcee improvement of the country.

Texas and New Mexico are surrounded by pow- erful tribes of Indians, who are a'source of constant terror and annoyance to the inhabitants. Separa- ting intosmall predatory bandsjand roi mount- ed, they overrun the country, devastating farms, destroymg crops, driving off whole herds of cattle, and occasionally murdering the inhabitants or car- rying them into captivity. ‘ The'great roads lead- ing into the country are infested with.them, where- by travelling is rendered extremely dangerous, and immigration is almost entircly arrested. The Mexican frontier, which, by the 11th article of the treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo, we are bound to protect against the Indians within our border, is exposed to these incursions equally with our own. The military force stationed in that .country (al- though forming aJdarge proportion of the army) is represented as entirely: inadequate to our own pro- tection and the fulfilment of our treaty. stipulations with Mexico. The principal deficiency is in caval- ry, and I recommend that Congress should, at as early a period as practicable, provide for the rais- ing of one or more regiments of mounted men, For further suggestions on this subject, and oth- ers connected with our domestic interests, and the defence of our frontier, I refer you to the report of the Secretary of the Interior and of the Secreta of War. I commend also to your favorable consideration the suggestion contained in the last mentioned re- port, and in the letter of the general-in-chief, rela- tive tu the establishment of an asylum for the te- lief of disabled and destitute solbiers, This subject appeals so strongly to your sympathies. that .it would be superfluous in me to say any thing more, than barcly to express my cordial approbation of the proposed object. wearers The navy continues to give protection to our commerce and other nativnal tee Fa the dif- ferent quarters of the globe, and with” the ‘excep- tion te single steoenh du OSRGAREHE lakes, the vessels in commission are’ distributed. in six dif- ferent squadrons, The report of the head of that Department will exhibit the services of these squadrons, and.of the several vessels employed in each ‘during the past year.

The two brigantines accepted by the Govern- ment from a generous citizen of New York, and placed under the command of an officcr of the navy to proceed to the Arctic seas in quest of the Britis commander, Sir John Franklin, and his compan- ions, in compliance with the act of Congress, ap- proved in May last, had, when last heard from, penetrated into a high northern latitude; but the success of this noble and humane enterprise is yet uncertain, I invite your attention to the view of our pres- ent naval establishment and resources presented in the report of the Secretary of the Navy, and the suggestions therein made fur its improvement, to- gether with the naval policy reconvuended tor the sceurity of our Pacific Coast,and the protection and extension of our commeree with Eastern Asia.— Our facilities for a larger participation in the trade of the East, by means of our recent settlements on the shores of the Pacific, are too obvious to be over- looked or disregarded. The questions in relation to rank in the army and navy, and relative rank between officers of the two branches of the service, presented to the Executive by certain resolutions of the House of Representatives, at the last session of Congress, have been submitted to a board of efficers in each branch of the service, and their report may be expected at an early day. I also earnestly recommend the enactment of a low authorizing ofticcrs of the army and navy to be retired from the service, when incum petent for its Vigorous and active duties, taking care to make suitabl- provision for those who have faithfully served their country, and awarding distinctions, by retaining in appropriate commands those who have been particularly conspicuous for gallantry and good conduct. While the obligation of the country to maintain and honor those who, to the exclusion of other pursuits, have devoted them- selves to its arduous service, this obligation should hot be permitted to interfere with the efficiency of the service itself. I am gratified in being able to state, that the estimates of expenditure for the navy in the ensu- ing year are less, by more than one million of dul- lars, than those of the present, excepting the ap- propriation which may become necessary for the construction of adock on the coast of the Pacific, propositions for which are now being considered, aud on which a special report may be expected early in your present session. There is an evident justness in the suggestion of the same report, that appropriations for the naval service proper should be separated from those for fixed and permanent objects, such as building docks and navy yards, and the fixtures attached : and from the extraordinary objects under the care of the Department which, however important, are not essentially naval. A revision of the code for the government of the navy seems to require the immediate considera- tion of Congress. Its system of crimes and pun- aa i = no for half a cen- , until £ t session, though its defects have been often and ably pointed out, and the abolition of a ieular species of corporeal punishment, which then took place, without providing any sub- stitute, has left the service in a state of defective- neas, which calls for prompt correction.

It is an evidence that the public mind of the South is fast waking up from its long slumber, and beginning earnestly to take a proper view of its true position. It is certainly high time the South should look jts own situation boldly in the face, for it has, by its own want of mechanicul and manufucluring energy, permitted the peo- ple of the North to gain over it advan- tages which will require both time and in dusiry to reclaim. ith time and indus. try, however, it can be accomplished, and your Committee entertain the hope, that the day is not distant, when the Southern States will no longer be tributaries to the other States of this Union.

LYNCH LAW IN CALIFORNIA. The Panama Star copies the two fol- lowing cases of Lynch Law from the Cal- ifornia Papers : Lynch Law.—An instance of this sum- mary mode of dispensing justice, took place on Monday last at Georgetown, while the election was going on. It seems that a nian named Devine had ta- ken to gambling, aud as he was in the habit of losing bis money, his wife hid all that came into her possession. On Sun- day last he had got “broke,” he demanded the money which she bad hid. She re- fused to deliver it if he intended to use it in gambling, whereupon Devine threaten- ed to kill her. As he seized his gun, she blew out the candle and fled into the next room ; he, however, discharged it at her. The contents passed through the door and killed ber. An enraged crowd, several hundred strong. assembled forthwith, set Devine on a horse and rode him off to a tree. Here they made him kneel upon the horse’s back, put the rope around his neck, and drove the horse off, leaving him hanging from the branch of the tree. Not long since an emigrant arrived over the plains. in a sickly and destitute condition, which excited the commisera- tion of his friends in the upper part of the country, who to place the man in a posi- tion to make a living, elected him justice of the peace. Inthe early part of this month, a stranger, thinking that the price of beef would justify the act, took it into his head to drive an ox from off the ranch of one of the said justice’s friends towards Sacramento. He was pursued, overtaken and brought before the justice. When the case was heard, and the mitimus made out, the judge adjourned the case for one bour and took the prisoner into his fuith ful care and keeping. After the crowd had dispersed the honest judge inquired of his prisoner how much he would give him to release him. “ All the money | have.” was the reply, The sum reached $170, which the judge took, and told oxonian, to “ vamous the ranche,” which he did.— The judge then destroyed the papers in the case and awaited the expiration of the hour of adjournment. On the reassembling of the other par ties, the escape of the prisoner was an- nounced with deep regret. Pursuit was made at once, and the thief traced to the American Fork, into which he had plung- ed holding on to a grape vine to keep his head above water. In this situation he was discovered and brought back to the jastice’s office, where the above facts were divulged. proving that the course of rascality, as well as love, dosen’t run ‘smooth. The crowd, incensed at the ju- dicial conduct of the justice, formed a which wil] be received everywhere with pride and rejoicing. Notwithstanding the compromises of the last Congress were not in all respects such as the Sonth could desire, and notwithstanding the ad- mission of California, under the circum. stances, was to every southern man a source of profound regret. Georgia has nobly refused to lend her sanction to the idea of secession or disunion. The South may now be said to stand together on the Platform of the Constitution and the Laws, for we think there can be no donbt that the Union feeling exhibited in Boston is that of all Southern States, with the ex- ception of South Carolina. and that the example Georgia, has just set, will add to patriotic tide which is so generally trium- ant south of Mason and Dixon. We wish we could say as much of the Union and Law abiding spirit of Massa- chosetts as of Georgia. But the truth for- bids. The recent elections show the overwhelming victory of Free Soil in that State, except at the single point of Boston. And even in that city, which we doubt not, has thousands of such conservative and patriotic citizens, the law of the land has been successfully evaded. These facts stand undenied and undeniable: that two Southern men went to Boston in pur- suit of two fugitive slaves ; that the slaves were in the city, and the process placed in the hands of the proper officers for | their arrest ; but they were not arrested, the Southern men who went after them, | number of Were arrested on the most frivolous char- | the Military Election in this place, Mr. ges ond held to bail in large amounts ; finally the Southern men had to re- | Mule and instantly killed.

During the last ten years 15,000 houses have been built in New York, and the population increased 140,000. There is an average of about 9} persons to a house.

NOT AT HOME. and then I was well punished for my weakness and folly. It occurred a: a time when there were in my family two new inmates: a niece from New York, and a raw Irish girl that I had taken a few days before on trial. My niece, Agnes, was a young lady io ber nineteenth year, the daughter of my brother. I had not seen her before since her school-girl days; and knew little of her character. Her mother I had always esteemed as a right-think- ing, true-hearted woman. I was much pleased to have a visit from Agnes, and felt drawn to- ward her more and more every day. There was something pure and good about her. “ Now, Aggy, dear,” said I to her, one morn- ing after breakfast, as we took our work and retired from the dining-room to one of the par- lors, where I was occasionally in the babit of sitting. —* we must sew for dear life until din- ner time, so as to finish these two frocks for the children to wear this evening. It is’nt right, I know, to impose on you in this way. But, you sew so quick and neatly; and then it will help me through, and leave me free to visit Gir- ard College with you this afternoon.” “Don’t speak of it, aunt,” returned Agnes. “ I’m never happier than when employed. And, besides, it’s only fair that I should sew for you in the morning if you are to go pleasuring with me in the afternoon.” Lightly the hours flew by, passed in cheerful conversation. I found that the mind of my niece had been highly cultivated ; and her tastes were refined, and her moral sense acute. To say that I was pleased with her, would but half ex. press what I felt. There was to be a juvenile party at the house of one of our acquaintances that evening, to which the children were invited ; and we were at work in preparing dresses and other matters suitable for them to appear in. Twelve o’clock came very quickly—too quickly for me, in fact: for I bad not accom- plished near so much as I had hopedtedo. It would require the most diligent application, through every moment of time that intervened until the dinner hour, for us to get through with what we were dving, so as to have the after- noon to ourselves for the intended excursion. As the clock rung out the hour of noon, lex. claimed— ‘+ Is it possible, I had no idea that it wae so late. How slowly I do seem to get along!” Just at this moment the bell rung. “ Bless me I hope we are not to have visitors this morning,” said J, as I let my hands fall in my lap. I thought hurriedly for a moment, and then remarked in a decided way— * Of course we cannot see any one. engaged.” By this time I heard the footsteps of Mary on her way from the kitchen, and I very naturally passed quickly to the parlor door to intercept and give ber my instructions. ‘Say that I’m engaged,” was on my tongue. But, somehow or other, I had not the courage to give these words utterance. The visitor might be a person to whom such an excuse for not appearing would seem unkind, or be an offence. In this uncertain state, my mind fell into confu- sion. Mary was before me, and awaiting the direction she saw that I was about giving. Say that I’m not at home, if any one asks to see me,” came, in a sudden impulse, from my lips. And then my cheeks flushed to think that I had instructed my servant to give utterance toa falsehood. « Yes, mim,” answered the girl, glancing in- to my face with a knowing leer that produced an instant sense of humiliation ; and away she went to do my bidding. I did not glance towards Agnes, as [ return- ed to my seat and took up my work. I bad not the courage to do this. That I had lowered myself in her estimation, I felt certain. I heard the street door open, and bent, invol- untarily, in a listening attitude. The voice of a lady uttered my name. ‘ She’s not at home, mim,” came distinet!y We are become still deeper. A murmur of voices followed. Then I heard the closing of the vestibule door, and Mary re- turning to the back parlor where we were sit- ting. “ Who was it, Mary?” I enquired, as the | girl entered. “ Mre.—Mrs. Now what is it? and I’ve forgotten their names intirely.” But, lack of memory did not long keep me in ignorance as to who were my visitors, for, as ill luck would have it, they bad bethought themselves of some message they wished to leave, and re-opening the restibule door, left a- Sure the room they saw herenter. As she pushed open the door of the parlor, Mary heard them, and, turning quickly, exclaimed, in consterna- tion— * Och, murther !” escaped to the kitchen. on my ears, causing the flush on my cheeks to jar by Mary, followed her along the passage to A moment she stood, confronting, in no very graceful attitude, a couple of ladies, and then Here was a scene of embarrassment.

How are you this morn My neice, Mrs. Williams and Mrs. Glenn. I hope you will excuse us. We were—” “Ob, no apologies, Mrs. Smith.” returned one of the ladies, with a quiet smile and an air of self.possession. “ Pardon this intrusion. We understood the servant that you were not at home.” “Engaged she meant,” said J, a deeper crimson suffusing my face. ‘ The fact is, we are working for dear life to get the children ready for a party to-night, and wished to be ex- cused from seeing any one.” “ Certainly—all right,” returned Mrs. Will- iams. “I merely called to say to your domes- tic (I bad forgotten it at the door) that my sis- ter expected tu leave for her home in N. York in a day or two, and would call here with me to-morow afternoon.” “I shall be very happy to see her,” said I— ‘very bappy. Docome in and sit for a little while. If I had only known it was you. Now that last sentenee, spoken in embarrassment and mental confusion, was only making mat- ters worse. It placed me in a false, despica- ble light before my visitors ; for, in it was the savor of hypocrisy, which is foreiga to my na- ture. No thank you,’ replied my visitors. ‘ Good morning !’ “ And they retired, leaving me so overcome with shame, mortification, confusion and dis- tress, that I burst into tears. ‘To think that I should have done such a thing,’ was my first remark, as soon as I hada litle recovered my self-possession ; and I look- ed up, half timidly, into the face of my niece. | shall not soon forget the expression of surprise and pain that in her fair young countenance. I had uttered a falsehood in her presence, and thus done violence to the good opinion she had formed of me. The beautiful ideal of ber aunt, which had filled her mind, was blurred over ; and her heart was sad in consequence. ‘Dear Aggy !’ said I, throwing my work up- on the floor, and bending earnestly towards her.— Don't think too meanly of me for this little circumstance. I never was guilty of that thing before—never! And well have I been punished for my thoughtless folly. I spoke from impulse and not reflection, when I told Mary to say that I was not at home, and repentend of what I had done almost as soon as the words passed my lips.’ Agnes looked at me for some moments, un- til her eyes filled with tears. Then she said, in a low, sweet, earnest voice : ‘ Mother always says, if she cannot see any one who calls, that she is engaged.’ ‘And so do I, dear,’ I returned, ‘This is my first offence against truth, and you may be sure that it will be the last.’ And it was my last. When next I met Mrs. Williams and Mrs. Glenn, there was, in both of them, a reserve not seen before. I felt this change keenly. 1 had wronged myself in their good opinion ; and could not venture upon an explanation of my conduct ; for that, [ felt, might only make mat- ters worse. How often, since, has my cheek burned, as a vivid recollection came up before my mind of what occurred on that morning! I can never forget it. Hints for Young Women.—If young wo- men waste their time in trival amuse- ments, in the prime season for improve- ment, which is between the ages of six- teen and twenty, they will hereafter regret bitterly the loss, when they come to feel themselves inferior in knowledge to al- most every one they converse with; and above all, if they should ever be mothers, when. they feel their inability to direct and assist the pursuits of their children, they will then find ignorance a severe mortification and a real evil. Let it an- imate their industry, and let not a modest opinion of their capacities be a discourage- ment to their endeavors after knowledge. A moderate understanding, with diligent and direct application, will go farther than a more lively genius, if attended with that impatience and inattention which two of- ten attend quick parts. It is not for want of capacity that so many women are such trifling and insipid companions, so ill. qualified for the friendship and conve rsa- tion of a sensible man, or for the task of instructing or governing a family ; it is often the neglect of exercising the talents they really have, and from omitting to cultivate a relish for intellectual, moral, and religious improvement. By this ne- glect, they lose the sincerest pleasures which would remain when almost every other forsook them of which neither for- tune nor age could deprive them, and resource in almost every possible situation in te The Yankee Outwitted.—A Yankee and a Freachman owned a pig in co partnership.— When killing time came, they wished to divide the meat. The Yankee was very anxious to divide so that he would get both hind quarters, and persuaded the Frenchman that the proper way to divide was to cut it across the back.— The Frenchman agreed to it on condition that the Yankee would turn his back and take choice of the pieces afier it was cut in two,— The Yankee turned his back and the French- man asked— “ Vich piece vill you have—ze piece wid ze tail in bien or ze piece vat aint got no tail 1” “The piece with the tail,” replied the Yan- kee. “ Den by gar you take him, and I take ze oder one,” said the Frenchman. Upon turning around the Yankee found that the Frenchman had cut off all the tail and stuck guide.—Lincoln Republican. # among all my acquaintances were there, per- ing? I’m pleased to see you.

The Delegates, Raleigh, on the 2nd Monday in January, 1852. with full and unlimited authority to make such alterations in the State Constitution as their wisdom may suggest.) Mr. McLean moved the reference of this bill to the Committee on Amendments to the con. stitution. Mr. Fleming objected, upon the ground that it was an isolated proposition, of iteelf, to call a Convention, and that the Com. mittee, to whom reference was proposed to be had, were entrusted with the consideration of any specific amendments to the constitution that might be suggested.

But confiding in the justice and patriotism of the great body of the People of | the free States, this General Assembly will nq anticipate so sad and unwelcome an event the repeal, essential modification or non ere. cution of this law, and therefore decline now to declare what measure should or would be taken in that event by the people of North Carolina, such a declaration being easily interpreted inig a premature menace. upon @ contingency which may never happen, and likelyto aid in produc. ing the very state of thinge which all good and patriotic men sincerelpdesire to prevent.

Among the most amusing portions of the co lumns.of every paper are these notices which minent and cunspicuous position, requesting the subscribers to said papers to pay up their sub. scriptions. © The tone of these duns presents @ marked contrast to the laconic and. decided style of those which tradesmen and others put torth in advertising columns, and in which they briefly but explicitly inform their debtors that, unless their accounts are speedily adjusted, they will be put in the hands of an officer for collection. ‘The printer, on the contrary, speaks in a modest and deprecatory manner, as if he were in danger of committing a moral sin by reminding bis subscribers that some. thing more is uccessary to the patronage of a paper than a name and an unredeemed pro- mise to pay. Such is generally the character of his first notices. But finding that these do not succeed, and discovering that, of those who are indebted to him. probably 99 out of a bun. dred amuse themselves with his greenness in- expecting tu collect cash with a few soft words, our printer waxeth wroth, and issues another pronunciameonto full of fire and fury. He tells his obdurate debtors that printers cannot live on air; that the paper maker must be paid; type, ink, fuel, light, rents, &c., cost money ; so does the printer’s daily bread—and finally he exclaims in a tone that he expects will rend the very rocks, “ we want money and we must have it.” But unfortunate mortal he is a prio. ter, and printers are the last men inthe world to resort to compulsory measures. It is the general impression that their “ bark is worse than their bite,” so they lose thousands where other men would not lose hundreds. We would like to see’an accurate statement of the losses sustained by newspaper establishments from the neglect and procrastination of their pat. rons. We think we may safely conjecture that no other employment or profession suffers so much loss. Could those who thoughtlessly de- fer or altogether omit to pay their newspaper accounts reflect upon the trouble, difficnlty and sometimes ruin, their negligence occasions, they would learn to observe justice, punctuality and system as strictly with newspaper estab- lishments as with merchants and mechanics.— Richmond Republican.

In the absence of the President and Vice Presidents. Rev. D. Lacy was called to the Chair, who explained the object of the meeting, in a few appropriate remarks, “After reading of the Holy Scriptures and prayer by the Rev. P. T. Blake. the Rev. Dr. Holditch, agent of the American Bible Society, gave an eloquent and highly in- teresting account of the operations of the Society. Col. J. H. Wheeler submitted the following resolution, which was unan- imously adopted : Resolved, That the Bible, independent of its Divine origin, and the tendency of its Holy precepts, furnishes the best rule of action between man and his fellow- | man, and an unerring standard by which to test the numerous theories of the day, for improving the condition and prospects | of our race. The Col. enforced and ex. | plained the object of the resolution, in a short but forcible. and instructive speech. Rev. B. T. Blake offered the following resolution. Resolved, That the magnitude and im- portance of the work, in which the Amer- ican Bible Society is engaged, entitles it to our cordial approval and co-operation, and that we wiil, individually, ase our in- fluence, to insure its efficacy. in diffusing the Bible at home and abroad. Maj. Wm. J. Clarke seconded the mo- tion in a speech, giving a brief account of what had been done for the cause in North Carolina, during the present year, and enforcing the duty, as citizens, to fur- nish every person with that Book which is recommended to us, as being, not only the Word of God, but the Book of the State. Hon. James C. Dobin, at the call of the meeting, responded in a most appro- priate and stirring speech—a speech which did no less credit to his head than The young men—the boys—of the present Legislature, we are inclined to believe, will asthe necessity of the case may require, their wisdom may devise, and their strength enable to render effectual.- Resolved, That the Governor be requested {9 transmit copies of these resolutions (o Gov. ernors of the other States of the Union and our Senatorgand Representatives, with request that they be Taid before Congress, and the Legisla. tures of the several States, MR. SHEPARD’S RESOLUTIONS. Resolved, That the Constitution of the Uni- ted States was a compromise of conflicting is. lerests ordained and established by the people of the several States in order to form a pertect Union, establish justice, ensure domestic tran- quality, provide for the common defence, pro- mote the general zelfare and secure the biess- ings of liberty to all the parties, and that when- ever its provisions are so perverted or changed that it fails to secure those objects to the weak. est member of the confederacy, it ceases to be the constitution agreed to, and becomes the creature of the whims and caprice of a domi- nant majority, alieu in interest to the oppressed —the most dangerous and intolerant of al! Go- vernments. Resolved, That although we love the Union attempt to control the councils of the State on this subject. It is such a beautiful theme for | their spoutations—their maiden speeches—and | then it is such a safe field for the exhibitions | ly be able to restrain themselves, or be re. | strained, even by those of no less real valor, | and much greater prudence.

And | as an apology for our friend, whose language | we have quoted, it is proper we should state that he is a much older man we; and knows. more about family government than we have | hope of ever attaining to. traitors.

MR. GILMER’S RESOLUTIONS. Resolved, That the people of North Caroli. } na cherish a deep attachment, and feel a loyal | devotion to the Union of the States, and in the opinion of this General Assembly will never give their consent to a dissolution of that Un. ion, except in a case of extreme noccessily, which has not yet occurred, and which our hopes and wishes for our Country forbid ys to think will occur. ‘ Resolved. That in the series of measures adopted by the Congress of the United “States at theirdast session for the settlement of slave-: ry, the General Assembly recognise: a ¢ompro- mise and adjustment of questions difficult and will be regarded as undoubted and sufficient | evidence that a majority of Congress are unre- | Strained by the express provisions of the Con- stitution, and that a. time has arrived when it becomes the duty of the people of North Caro- ina to decide whether they will submit o #9 unlimited government or resist its encroach- mente, boldly and effectually. Resolved, ‘That property in slaves being '- cognized both by the Constitution of North Car- olina and of the United States, it is as much (he duty of the Federal Government to defend and protect Slave property as it is its duty to protect and defend any other species of property ; and that any action of the Genera] Governmen! pre venting the emigration of slave property (0 40J territory of the Union-is ap assault upon such property, tending ultimately todestroy it by 'bé slow but sure process of circumscribing it, 32 preventing its removal to territories better 4 dapted to its profitable occupation than where it now is found.

Numerous indications, it has been remark: ed, are given out in the papers of growing in. difference to old party lines, and of the proba. bility that co-laborers in the same cause,—as | Clay, Cass, Webster, Dickinson, Dawson, | Foote, &c., on the one side, that is, on the side | of Union; and Hale, Hunter, Chase, Barn. well, Soule, &c., on the other, or disunion side | —will,,by acting together, form new parties—_ the Union party and Disunion party. The) Richmond Times remarks : ‘“* Speaking for ourselves alone, we have no| hesitation in declaring that we should welcome | with joy the formation of a great Union party, based upon the single principle of preserving | the Union of these States in the spirit of the present Constitution. Such a party, we be. | lieve, would be the surest safeguard to South. ern interests, no less than to our federal insti- | tutions. It would have the prestige conterred | by all the glorious reminiscences of the Re- | public. Its mission would be to war against | ultraism of every kind, whether it assume the | | form of fanatical abolitionism or Southern dis- affection without cause.’ A correspondent of the Baltimore Sun, wri- ting from Savannah, Georgia, says : Let the North stand by the compromise, and with the assurance contained in the President’s letter, that the fugitive law shall be enforced, the agitation in this latitude will die out, and the disorganizers be blasted to the earth. The people have had enough of excitement. are sick of it. And if the Union Whigs and Democrats of the North will unite with the Union Whigs and Democrats of the South, up- on the platform of the late Compromise, it will be stomped, and the government relieved from the throes with which it is now convulsed. CHEAP POSTAGE. The letter reading and writing public, which is almost as large as the whole public, will be delighted with the recom- mendation of the Postmaster General, sanctioned by the President, that the post- age on prepaid letters be at once reduced to three cents, and prospectively to two cents The success of the cheap system, has thus far surpassed the most sanguine anticipations of its advocates. We con- fess that the surplus, reported by Mr. Hall of three hundred and forty thousand dol- lars, surprises us. It does not permit us to doubt that the further reduction which is now proposed will in a short time, in- crease rather than diminish the revenue of the department.—Rich.

She hasa large scar on ber righ) fore- ‘eg up at her breast. She also has scars oo her sides, burt by traces, and walks a !itle crooked on ber hind feet. She is well made—is a firs. rate viding anima! and about 10 or ll yearso'd. Noovher marts reco'lecied. The sub- seriber is of opinion that this mare was stolen, as there was a man of suspicious appearance seen in the neigh- borhood just befure sun down, on the night she mare was taken, anu no one knows where he siayed that night.— This same man wasat the house of the subscriver on Sandsy night before, and stayed there ani! Monday morning. He then called bimseli Smith; but ofier be left he changed his name to Mooney. He is abou: six feet high, full face, black hair volerably Jong, and clean- lyin his personal appearance. He wore ea blac!. broad cloth coat, torn under the arm, and the ander par. of the fore-arm. He wore black punia'oons,and-had a new pair of saddle-bugs which were wel' siaffled. He rodea | large thin horse, color between a bay and a sorrel, wh a large white spot on his right side. The horse was s.iff from hard riding or founder. This man said he lived in Cabarrus County, seven miles west of Concord; and that he married in Davidson County, and owned a farm in Alabama. The subscriber wil! give Ten Dol- lars for the recovery of the mare, and ten doliars more for the apprehension of the thief, with evidence to se- cure his conviction. This fellow is no doubt well sup- plied with counterfeit money. He passed off on the subscriber a $3 counterfeit note on the Bank of Cape Fear. It is the interest of the public to look out for this scamp, and, if possible, bring him to the punishment of the law.

The officer in the first place informed the oung man of his discovery.and he ac- ewicdged his crime. He then went to amember of the firm, and infoemed him also of what bad taken place. The mer- chant serined troubled, s-id that the boy had for some time been with him. and to well,” renders it necessary, that I should |sabmit to my friends and constituents | (among whom yoor paper circulates,) the | following statements in regard to the dif- | ficulties between the Defendant and my- self. A word to the proper understanding of |those statements: The Defendant and _ myself were both jointly indicted. My case was tried at Iredell. and finally dis- posed of in September last. After this I neither felt, nor was I called upon to take, any further interest in the prosecution.— Neither myself, my counsel, my witnesses or my friends in any way interfered on the recent trial of the Defendantin Meck- lenburg. Not being present, I, of course, cannot say what facts were really proved, hat was assumed and guessed at; nor how far the circumstances may have been misconceived and misunderstood by those who prepared the anonymous publication. Fortunately, however, I had taken the precaution, in order, to guard against fu- ture misrepresentation, to ask Mr. Taylor, my principal witness at Iredell, to give me a full and precise statement of his tes: timony. This was before the trial in Mecklenburg. Since the publication in the Hornets’ Nest, I have procured the corroborating testimony of my other wit- ness Dr. Bingham ; and also the expla- | natory letters of Mr. Harris. Gen.. Means and my brother, V. C. Barringer. The main purpose is to meet the published al- legation, that at the time of the attack upon me, “the lights were burning, the | | | | all appearances wasa faithful clerk ; that he had sole control of a room containing $100,000 worth of goods. with several lads under him, &c., and further stated that he paid him tor his services $3 50 per week. The officer asked if the young man did not pay nearly that amount for board, wash- ing, &c. The merchant acknowledged that he probably did. He then called the boy down, and asked him to confess the whole truth, which he did, with tears in | his eyes, and promises of retormation.— | The merchant then told the officer that he wished time to consider as to his course. When the officer called again, the young man still continued at his old employment. with this difference—that he had increas | ed his pay to 86 per week. The officer asked how the boy got along. to which his master replied, “ Admirably, admirably ; | have not a better servant in store.” Thus ended the matter and the young man still continues at his old stand. with a firm in- | tention to deserve, by his future conduct, the confidence which, perhaps. he so litile deserved by his previous course.

Being called on for the facts in regard to a rencontre between Mr. R. Barringer and Mr. G. W. Caldwell. in Charlotte, N. C., on Mon day night, the 27th of October, 1849—they | are as follows: m4 val of several seconds—during which time the parties were shoving each other up the pave- ment, a third shot was fired. ‘Then both came down upon the paver ‘nt, and as they fell, a fourth shot went off. During all this time u was perfectly dark under the piazza. A crowd was gathering up, but no one interfered ; and not a word was said, except that I called ont fre- quently ‘or a candle ; and after they fell [ re- marked to a by-stander, “part them.” At length a candle approached, but it was by some means put out. Another was brought, which was taken by me, and I could then discover Barringer and Caldwell lying rather length. wise, with their heads together and their faces towards the ground. Just as the light was brought, some one seized Barringer by the leg and attempted to pull him away, but he dragged Caldwe!! after him, having his right hand clinched around the wrist of Caldwell’s right arm. I laid down my light, and loosed his fin- gers; and in doing so, saw that Caldwell bad his Revolver in his right band. I lifted him up and took the pistol from bim. When I loos. ed Barringer’s fingers, be was taken out of the crowd and they were thus separated. I found that Barringer had received one shot through the left leg, in front just below the knee; also a small cut in his forehead, caused, no doubt, by striking the pavement as they fell. On examining Caldwell’s pistol, I found four loads discharged ; one load not discharged, one barrel seemed to have a ball, but no powder in it, and was without a cap. The parties (B. and C.) have both told me since, that it was Cald- well, who fired every shot ; and that the balls were prevented from taking effect by Barrin. ger seizing his right hand, and pointing the muzzle to the ground. I am pereuaded in my own mind that Bar- ringer had been induced to believe that no at. tack would be made. At least from his con- duct, which was very careless, he could not have dreamed of one that night, or at that par- ticular place. He was wearing an overcoat, and, if I mistake not, was smoking a cigar at the moment of the attack. ‘The fight, when once begun, was entirely fair. I have since Jearned that it was Joseph Da. vidson standing with Caldwell, when the at- tack was made. I have also since learned that an individual, whom I found close by all the time. was Charles Tittermary, whom Cald. well admits to me he had asked to be there, in order to see him fair play. I am the political friend of Mr. Caldwell and The personal friend of Mr. Barringer. I desir- ed to take no part in the controversy. I think I saw and heard every thing that occurred ; and the above are the facts, which were sworn to, in substance, before Judge Settle, on the investigation of the case before him, at the late Iredell Superior Court. WM. F. TAYLOR. Concorp, N. C., Oct. 15, 1850. Dr. Bingham’s Letter. Concorp, Nov. 30, 1850. Dear Sir :—I have seen the publication in the * Hornets’ Nest” of the 12th inst., in re- gard to the rencontre in Charlotte in October, 1849, hetween G. W. Caldwell and yourself; and in reply to your letter asking my account of the affair, I must say, that as far as my knowledge of the facts mentioned in that pub- lication extends, it is very unfair, and misrep. resents the circumstances in many respects. I was present when the rencontre took place, and was sworn and examined as a witness in Afier Barringer returned from Lincolnton, | to | the County Court.) [told him Twas. He re. ‘plied “he was glad of it; for from what he had heard at Lincoluton, he expected Caldwell would attack him; that Caldwell had many ‘friends in Charlotte, who would no doubt be on the look out when the attack was made, and be ready to assist him ; whereas, my friends over there are principally business men, who will be in doors and engaged during the week.” — He then asked me, if [ went over, to be some- what on the alert—that he did not care for the result. if the attack was made alone, and de. | sired no interference on the part of his friends, ‘unless an attempt was made to overpower him by numbers. After we got to Charlotte, I saw Barringer frequently during the day, walking _ about through the streets ; and once [ saw him | going to the Court House. and, in doing so, | had to pass (as he did,) close by the room and door of Caldwell. | Nothing. however, occurred during the day.— | About 10 o’elock at night, | happened to meet Dr. Bingham and Mr. E. R. Harris near the room of Barringer, under the piazza of Sad. ler’s Hote!. About the same time Barringer | came out, w | ing a few fish or lobsters. Barringer proposed | going along. I took him aside and told him I | had passed Caldwell a short time before on the | corner, some 35 yards above Sadler’s. He re. | plied that he did not think any attack would be | made; that he (B.) had been informed that | evening by a mutual friend of his and Cald. | well’s, that he, Caldwell, had declared to him |that be had abandoned all idea of making an ‘attack. (This friend Barringer afierwards told | me wae Mr. Lewis S. Williams, of Charlotte.) | We all, therefore, went down to Davidson’s Coflee House, where we remained about an hour. We.then left, and were. returning in a careless manner towards Barringer’s room, laughing at some incident that had occurred, when just atthe lower end of Sadler’s piazza, we came upon two men. who were standing tngether under the piagza,-on the side of the pavement next to the House. — It was too dark to tell-wwho the men were: nor did we see them until we were even upon them. Just as we | when both parties had been taken before | He (B.) was then alone. | hen something was said about eat | the case on your trial at the last Superior Court at Statesville, when Mr. Wm. H. ‘Taylor was | also sworn and examined. I now have before me his written statement of the transaction as then testified to by him and myselt; and I be. lieve that statement entirely correct. And I here adopt it as my own so far as the facts mentioned in it, came within my knowledge. In regard to the particular points mentioned in your letter, I state that | am perfectly cer- lain, that at the time the attack was made un. | der Sadler’s piazza, it was (as stated by Tay- lor) very dark. {recollect this the more dis- tinctly from the fact, that I myself, had almost passed the two men (Caldwell and Davidson.) standing on the pavement, before [ noticed ‘them, and even then I could not tell who they | were, though I was well acquainted with them ‘both. Iam very sure it was then after 10 , o’clock, from several circumstances unnecessa.- /ry to be detailed. And if the moon was shin- ‘ing at all at that hour (though I feel confident | it was not.) it must have been very low, and ite light concealed behind the buildings. Iam | quite confident there was no lamp buraing in | front of Sadler’s or under the piazza, during ‘the fight; or if there was it must have been extremely dim. But the fact is, the lower end of the piazza, where the attack was really made, lis (I suppose) 30 or 40 feet from the spot, | where the lamp usually hangs. The parties during the fight got up to the lamp post, but even then it was so dark, that no one could see bow to part them; or allempted to do so until a light was brought ; indeed we could not dis- tinguish how the parties were lying, or which was ontop. By the time you were seperated, there was light all about the Hotel; and this light it was, that enabled some one to pick up the “ purse and gold pieces” alluded to ia the Hornet’s Nest publication. I do not mean to say, that the light had heen put out (though I heard that asserted,) but they had probably burnt out. ~ I state further, that to the best of my recollec- tion, the only words uttered by Mr. Caldwell, were thuse given by Mr. ‘Faylor; andthe blow was stricken as the words were spoken. It was alldone in aninstant. From your being on the side of the pavement next to the House, you would naturally have passed befween the two men and the House—close against the House. Just as you were thus passing round the men were passing them, Barringer being at that front’ one wer | and. nger “a rb ++ Barringer.” s—" who in. 37”? The interr: and unespected, that you: sed. forthe moment, -and then: rey ‘rringer.” Caldwell replied about as sta: ted hyTaylor, and the fight thes went on dete has welldescrihed. I would here remark, thal | they being"in'the dark of the piazza cauld dis. tinguish us (coming up) by the light {rom Mr. Lenergan’s door, without our being able to see them at all. You stated to me soon after the fight, and have always continued to do so, that although you went to Charlotte expecting an attack, yet afier you got there, and were assured (honestly no doubt,) that no attack would be likely to be made so long afier the alledged provocation, and nove being attempted during the day (when you thought opportunities might have been had) you became less guarded ; that when the at- tack was made, it was 90 unexpected, that you had no surer way, of delending yourself, than by attempting to disarm Caldwell ; that when you first seized his hands, you felt the pistol in it; that your opinion was he struck with one hand (a side blow.) while he held his revolver in the other for the purpose of shooting; and that you always regarded it as a fortunate cir- cumstance, that instead of attempting to get at | your pistol (which was deep in your overcoat | pocket, and was not taken out until you were seperated,) you succeeded in getting hold of his. During the day and night of the attack T sev. eral times saw you in the streets—often alone. Yours, &c., L. S. BINGHAM. R. Barrrincer, Esa. Letter of Mr. Harris. Oaktawn, N. C., Nov. 30, 750. R. Barringer, Esq.—My Dear Sir: In re. ply to your note of the 25th instant, | desire to say, that I have a personal knowledge of many or most of the facts and circumstances alluded to in a published account, in a recent number of the Hornets’ Nest, of the difficulties be. tween Mr. G. W. Caldwell and yourself. And I am compelled to say, that I never knew facts —even the simplest incidents—so outrageously perverted as has there been done. Among other things, it is stated (but no where pretended to have been proved,) that on the night of the attack, “he (Caldwell )passed the door of the Grocery of B. F. Davidson ; that as he passed Mr. Barringer was in the door with one of his friends smoking a cigar, and just as Mr. Caldwell passed, puffed the smoke from their mouths and laughed loudly ; before Mr. Caldwell bad proceeded more than 10 or 15 steps he perceived, that Mr. Barringer, with three of his friends from Concord, were following after bim.’’ It is also stated that * he (Caldwell) was then alone’—I am the indi- vidual here referredto as in the door with you. We were standing there talking; you were probably smoking, and we may have laughed ; but the idea (as intended to be conveyed by the above extract,) that we saw Mr. Caldwell pass and that all this was done intentionally—to taunt or insult him, is utterly untrue, and could never have been so understood by any spirited man, or he would have resented it instantly. and not gone off 100 or 150 yards in the dark of a piazza_to wait forthe offender. But the truth is,as far as you and I knew, Mr.G. W. Caldwell did not pass there at all while we were in the door, or in the house. His bro. ther, Dr. P. C. Caldwell, did pass, and there was some person with him, whom we did not recognize (for it was then quite dark ;) but we paid no attention to them. If this other pereon was Mr. G. W. Caldwell, so far from our following after him before he had proceed. ed more thaw 10 of 15 steps, be and his bro. ther could have walked at least a quarter or half a mile before yourself and friends left there. ‘Io our knowledge Mr. Caldwell nei. ther passed there “alone” or otherwise. We neither taunted or followed afier him, or any body else. I have seen the written statement of Mr. W. F. Taylor as to the attack and fight, and my account would correspond with his. When we came upon Mr. Caldwell, he seemed to be waiting for us some 30 or 40 feet from your room, and where you would necessarily pass along. ‘The hour of the attack was between 10 and 11 o'clock. I knew this, because I looked at my watch while at Davidson’s. The given by Mr. Taylor. Of this there can no mistake. I beard nothing of the other words alluded to in the Nornets’ Nest. ‘The allegation that “ Mr. Ca!dwell had no opportunity of vindicating his bonor ina meet. ing with Mr. Barringer until the evening upon which the fracas occurred,” was surely no fault of yours. I accidently met you in Charlotte the evening befure your last piece appeared. You made no concealment of the cuurse you had been advised to pursue. You told myself, and may have told others. It was adopted for the reason, that by meeting Mr. Caldwell on the field, after his once challenging you and then withdrawing or qualifying it and accept. ing satisfaction, would only be giving him a chance to regain the steps he bad been con- sidered as loosing. But while you did so, you remarked you were determined to publish cer. tain things that had occurred at the Catawba Springs and had never been told by you, and that you would speak of him as you thought his conduct towards you deserved. You, of course, thought it probable a rencontre might ensue. The article came out partly that night, and partly next morning. You were out that night quite late: saw you in the morning at the breakfast table; next in the bar room at Sad- les’s where there was a large crowd. You aod I then took a walk. We returned to Wil. liams’ corner (as public a place as any in Charlotie,) where we remained for some time. During all this while, it was understood Mr. Caldwell was intown. It is true we did not see him. We afierwards went to the Journal Office, as you had promised to do, to read the proet of your piece—Mr. Holton being absent. hile there reading proof, you learned that Mr. Caldwell had been at Sadler's and that ifhe failed to see you, though by accident, you would | into the Court House, where you remained does you great injustice. only words spoken by either party were those | rom te remain bale reducer oan Perea (i Fahey ecutdy Wig — ‘ing bound to the Peace. to your. returned home.

Means’ Letter. ve Betievve, Nov. 30, 1850. My Dear Sir :—‘o the enquiry in your fa- vor of the 25th inst., I state, that | saw you) frequently during the afternoon of the day {or | rather night.) of the rencontre in Charlotte be- tween yourself and Mr. G. W. Caldwell, walk- ing the streets as usual. I alsoonce saw yor go into the Court House, and in doing so you had to pass close by the room of Mr. Caldwell —one door of which opens into the Court Yard. As you passed in front of this door, Mr. Cald- well was standing in it, and looked at vou going ao about half an bour, and then returned the same way. You were alone. This was just afier dinner—say about 1 o’clock. . Yours, &c., WM. C. MEANS. R. Barrincer. V. C. Barringer’s Letter. Raeien, Dec. 4, 1850. My Dear Sir :-—I desire to say to you that the impression sought to be created by a recent publication in the * Hornets’ Nest,” which I have just seen, relative to the difficulty between yourself and Mr. G. W. Caldwell—tMat the origin of that difficulty was of your seeking, The truth is that the first of the two articles published ia the Charlotte papers during the Congressional campaign of 1849, at which it seems offence was taken, was written entirely by myself. You had nothing whatever to do with it, and was, [ believe, utterly ignorant of its existence until the day on which you expect- ed to attend the July term of Mecklenburg Court, when I asked you to look over the arti- cle, and hand ii to the Editor of the Hornets’ Nest. On reading it, you thought there were certain passages unnecessarily severe, and, so far from wishing to do Mr. Caldwell even the slightest injury personally, you took the liberty of striking them all out. I know it was not my intention, and I feel equally confident it was not yours, to say or wish any thing but what might be conceived a fair commentary, judging from facts, on the public course and speeches of a candidate for popular favor—a commenta- ry not at all different from that which had been made, in regard to the same individual, time and again, by others, without ever before giv- ing offence. I deem it due to myself to add, that I left this country without once dreaming of the publica. tions resulting in the difficulties which follow. ed—a peremtory demand for satisfaction be. ing, it seems, the first step taken in the matter after my departure.

Incase of the secession of North Carolina, therefore, by the act of a majority of her people, the situ. ation of the State will be a curious one.

Immediate recourse should be had to vaccinalion, which, as a preventive means is more sure than any other known. We find the following in the Lincoln Courier ofthe 14th. ‘The same paper of the Tih, con. tradicted, in very pointed terms, the Small Pox rumor as regards Charlotte. “ The Small Por.—This loathsome and in. | feetious disease, is reported to be in the lower | end ot Gasion county—it is in Henderson, west of this—and we fear the card from Charlotte, in another column, will not allay the public feel. ing on the subject. We hope our people will | pot be alarmed, too hastily, and that our physi. | cians will prepare themselves with vaccine mat | ter at once, and the community avail themselves | of it the first opportunity. We do not know of | a single case of sickness in our county, and be. | lieve, with prudence, our locality will be spared from its influence. ‘* An ounce of prevention | is worth a pound of cure.” From the same paper of the 14th, we extract | the following : | Small Pox in Henderson, N. C.—The Ashe- ville News ot the 12th instant, says—* A half dozen cases of malignant Small Pox have oc. curred in Henderson county, several of them in Hendersonville, 21 miles south of this place. — The disease was introduced there in some ready- | made clothing purchased in Augusta. As the | disease is rapidly spreading, and in all proba. bility will prevail over a large portion of this country, we urge upon our citizens the impor. lance of immediate vaccination. Some of the citizens have left Hendersonville.”——Lincoln | Courier. wo We were not a little surprised on read. ing an article in the last Salisbury Watchman relative to the Small Pox in Charlotte, to no. lice the remark that * the newspapers there have not thoughi tt a subject of sufficient importance to notice.” Both the papers of this place no- liced it, and we positively denied, on the au- thority of a physician, the existence of Small, | Pox ia this place. We can also assure the | Editor that the information communicated by | letters that this disease “is spreading to an alarming extent,” Suspect the writer drew largely upon his tears. | It is something like the report told a wagoner | that seventeen deaths had taken place. We. also learn that the same disease is prevailing | in Stokes county. Now we have beard it re- ported that the erysipelas was in Salisbury, | which is a much more fatal disease, and many | were dying with it. This we supposed to be | true from the fact we received no Watchman week before last ; but as nothing was said a- bout it last week we presume it is notso. This | should learn people to be. very chary how they listen to every report tbey hear about sickness in a village.—Charlotte Journal. If the * Journal” ever said any thing about this disease before publishing the certificate bf Physicians in its number of the 4th instant, it escaped onr atiention entirely ; and we looked toedch paper, afier the report of Small Pox got out, with especial reference to the subject. «oto Bey Se siya _ sbge?es4 -heen ordered. | pers there, unless they explain satisfactori- | said disease ; is allogether erroneous, We ) Bd Wetted ett ms tse alent - fiot're x~ ueG-4 4 4 -) Class.

Our citizens entertain no fears whatever of the disease that some few persons in the community have been con- fined with, and certainly we regard our own lives and health as high as any people on the face of the earth. | It is exceedingly wrong in any one, and particularly | editors of newspapers, to give as much publicity as pos- | sible to the thousand and one idle stories that will spring from the smallest matter almost imaginable. We suppose these remarks are, in part, | intended for us, having referred to some of | the “thousand and one stories” in question. | We have nothing tartish to say, in reply, | If the Small Pox really exists in Char. lotte, of which there is probably no doubt. | the public will pass a severe sentence against the authorities and the newspa- \ ly.

The disease has also broke out in Gaston county. How it got there, we have not heard.

Come back—come back—thou youthful time ! When joy and innocence were ours, When ljife was in its vernal prime, And redolent of sweets and flowers. Come back! and let us.roam once more, Free-hearted through life’s pleasant ways, And gather garlands as-of yore. Come back—come hack—ye happy days! © Come hack—come back }—‘twas pleasant then To cherish faith in, Leye and Truth, | For uothing in disoraise of men | Had sour’d the temper of oar youth ; Come back !—and let us still believe | The gorgeous dream romance displays, Nor trust the tale that men deceive. Come back—come back—ye happy days. Come back, oh freshness of the past ! When every face seemed fair and kind, When sunward, every eye was cast, And alf the shadows fell behind. Come back ! "twill come: true hearts can turn Their own Decembers into Mays ; The secret be it ours to learn,» They come—they come—t(lieee happy days!

Henry! John! bring it in here; the two porters entered with a beau- tiful sofa,nearly new” 4 ‘Why, that is a beauty, husband ? How kind you are.’ ‘It’s second hand, you perceive; but its hardlygsoiled—no one would know the différence.’ ‘It’s just as good as new. did you give for it ? . ‘That’s the best part of it. It is a) splendid bargain. It didn’t cost a| cent less than two hundred dollars.— | Now what do you think I got it for ? ‘Sixty dollars ? ‘Guess again.’ ‘Fifty ? ‘Guess again.’ ‘Forty-five ? ‘No. Try again.’ ‘ But what did you give for it, dear ‘Why, only $20.’ ‘Well, now, that is a Bargain.’ ‘Ain't it, though? It takes me to get the things cheap,’ continued the pru- dent Courtland, chuckling with de- t. pei ne Wvhy, how in the world did you get it so low.’ ‘I managed that. It ain’t every one that understands how to do these What ; ” : But how did you manage it, dear ? | I should like to know’ ‘ Why, you see, there were a great | many other things there, and among the rest some dirty carpets. Before | the sale I pulled over these carpets and | threw them upon the sofa; a good deal of dust fell from them, and made _ the sofa look 50 per cent worse than | it really was. When the sale com-| menced, there happened to be but few | persons there, and I asked the auc-| tioneer to sell the sofa first, as I want-| ed to go, and would bid for it ifit were sold then. Few persons bid freely at , the opening of a sale. ‘ What’s bid for a splendid sofa ? he ; ‘Pil give you fifteen dollars for ity | said I ; ‘its not worth more than that, for it’s dreadfully abused.’ { | | ‘ Fifteen dollars! fifteen dollars! on- | ly fifteen dollars for this beautiful so- : 5 4 pe e oa OR CAROLINA = r it.’ ‘the dust and dirt; and con | the sefa was knocke d. | ‘That was admi ne, indeed,’ | ; with a bland smile of satisfaction at having obtain- _ed the elegant piece of furniture at so cheap a rate. ‘And it’s so neat a |match, too, for the sofa in our front parlor,’ __ This scene occurred at the resi- dence of a merchant in this city who was beginning to count his fifly thou- sands. Let us look on the other side of the picture. | On the day previous to the sale, a widow lady with one daughter, a beautiful and interesting girl about 17, was seated on a sofa in a neatly | furnished parlor in Hudson st. The _mother held in her hand a small piece of paper, on which her eyes were in- _tently fixed; but it could be readily perceived that she saw not the cha- racters that were written upon it. ‘What is to-be done ma ? at length asked the daughter. ‘Indeed, my child, I cannot tell.— The bill is $50, and has been due, you know for several days. I havn’t $5, and your bill for teaching the Miss Leonards cannot be presented for two | weeks, and then it will not amount to this sum.’ ; ‘Can’t we sell something suggested the daughter. ‘We have sold all our plate and jewelry, and now I’m sure I don’t know what we can dispose of, unless it be something that we really want.’ _Wriat do’ you'sty to selling the so- fa, ma? ‘Well, I don’t know, Florence. more ma” It But wy] i dy bring fifty dollars, I TY aes r 4a ‘Certainly. Itis the best wood and workmanship, and ¢cést_ one hundred and forty dollars. Your father bought it a short time before he died, and that is not more than two years past, you know.’ ‘I should think it would bring near- ly one hundred dollars, said Florence, who knew nothing of auction sacrifi- ces; ‘and that would give us enough, besides paying the quarter’s rent, to keep us comfortably until some of my bills become due” That afternoon, the sofa was sent, ‘and onthe next afternoon Florence went to the auctioneer’s to receive the money for it. ‘Have you sold that sofa yet? asked the timid girl, in a low,: hesitating voice. | ‘What sofa, Miss ? asked the clerk, looking steadily in her face with a bold stare. ‘The sofa sent by Mrs. -——, sir.’ ‘When was it to have been sold? ‘Yesterday, sir,’ ‘Oh, we havn't got the bill made out yet. You can call the day after to- morrow, and we'll settle it for you, * ‘Can’t you settle it to-day, sir? We | want the meney, particularly’ Without replying to the timid girPs request, the clerk commenced throw- ing over the leaves of the account book, and in a few minutes had tuken off the bill of the sofa. ‘Here it is—eighteen dollars and ‘sixty cents. See if it’s right and then sign this receipt.’ ‘Ain't you mistaken, sir? It was a beautiful sofa, and cost one hundred and forty dollars. ‘That’s all it brought, Miss, I assure you. Furniture sells very badly, now.’ Florence rolled up the bills that were given her and turned home with | a heavy heart. ‘It only brought eighteen_ dollars and sixty cents, ma,’ she said, throw- ing the notes into her mothers’s lap | his nose sharper, tt completely encircling the and bursting into tears. ° ‘Heaven only knows, then, what we shall do,’ said the widow, elasping her hands‘together and looking upwards.

She seems weak, and weary, and scarcely capable of maintain- ing her seat without the support from her ready arm from time to time, while all brute companions, are soon coated with the fine driving snow and sleet, and the ancient line of kings? Is this the moth- er of a universal conqneror? Yoong, delicate, never exposed to many hardships, how, in this dreary journey, do the pitiless forces of wintery war, the gluom of frowa- ing Nature, spread a pall over thy spirit in thine hour of anguish ! Soon they stand before the door of the hospitable inn, confident at last of priva- ey and cest. With what chagrin does Joseph learn that not a corner of the spa- cious edifice is unoccupied! The great census has gathered here unprecedented crowds, and they are come too late from far Galilee. Thus they stand beaambed with cold in the open high way, poor, friendless, and unknown. In despair, he looks for some friendly face to guide him, but all are cowering around the fire. He looks here and there for some temporary shelter, if it be no beiter than a hut,a shed, or a hovel, but all in vain. At length a door presents itself to hig view in the neighboring hill side, afford- ing entrance to a species of cave or grot, such as are common in those mountain regions. and which, when additional cavated by art, as in the present ingta are frequently fitted with a few rade ar- ticles of stable furniture. In fact, it is a stable in the rock; and thitber, as a last resort, he bends his steps. They enter; and in the farthest recess of the cave, which, though tenanted by severa! steeds, proves at least dey and warm, Joseph hastens to scatter straw, and spread the matting he carries in his panniers. Upon this the trembling virgin sinks. grateful for so mean a shelter, while, having cared for the mules, her husband kindles a fire, and dries their drenched garmeats, and makes such other arrange- ments for her comfort as the tenderest anxiety can suggest. -. Thus it is that at last the hour approach- es for the entrance upon earth of that Je- hevah whe made it. Cana we stand be- neath the rugged rocks of that low-brow- ed cave, now wreathed in the stifling smoke, listen to the stamping of the steeds, and the sound of their teeth as they grind their food; can we see in yon dim corner the figure of the sighing and exhausted young maiden, the kneeling form of Jo- seph by her side; can we hear the fierce December gale howling without, and the rushing of the rain and sleet ; can we call all these circumstances about us, be fally it, and then reflect that here, in this ob- scure retreat—this cavern, fit to be the den of fierce banditti—this sombre fuli- ginous vault. is about to happen thegreat- est event inthe whole annals of time !— the mighty spiritaal drama, for the enact- ment of which the world itself was made, and yet fee! no deep and solemn adora- tion, no profound awe 7 * * * * * * How often have we all, doubtless, with wondering curiosity, brooded over those hidden years of the incarnation, preced- ing the public ministry of the Being now approaching to view. there in a dark night looks kindly out from the gloom of the overcast heavens, speak- ing of the universe beyond, and assisting our faith to realize its glories, though shrouded in darkness, so, from the canopy of those thirty years, look kindly forth to meet our gaze a few dispersed star-beams of the heaven-inspired Gospel.

There was a drover passing along the stroote — he was asked if he did not want to seea case of small pox, he said he did—he was taken to the door where Miller was, who was just as scabby ashe could be.

EBENEZER ACADEMY... ‘The semi-annoal examination of the pupils of this Academy took place on the 12th and 23th instant, in the presence of a large concourse of spectators, who re- turned from the exhibition with feelings of high gratification, produced by the advancement of the pupils in the various branches of a liberal and classical educa- tion and the indefatigable zeal of their excellent and long tried teacher, Mr. Hugh R, Hall. : _.

The writer of this sketch has visited and lived in many of the States cf our Union; bot | he does not know a spot where he would | sooner have the morals of his ebildren | formed than the neighborhood .in which Ebenezer Academy is situated. Nor is this an ephemeral institution, on the con. | tinuance of which no dependence can be laced ; or upwards of twenty years has its bighly qualified Teacher been at this t, preparing young men, either to en- ter college, or to be at once employed as Instroctors of youth in different parts of our land. The pupils of Ebenezer Acad. emy are to be found in all our Southern and Western States, adorning the various fessions which they have embraced, or blessing the commonity in which they live, by training, its rising generation in the paths of science and virtue. None of them, we will venture to say, have ever forgotten their highly esteemed Teacher, —the school house,—the church—and the people of Bethany. The best inheritance, that parents can Jeave their children,«is a good education, While many institutions of learning, ow- ing to their peculiar Jocation, offer the means of education at.such elevated pri- cesas are beyond the reach of the great ‘mass of the community, Ebenezer Acad- emy offers the same advantages at so moderate a rate, both asit regards tuition and boarding, that almost all can readily avail themselves of them. It is a great mistake to suppose that because the pri- ees of tuition in an Academy are moder- ‘ate, the advantages there enjoyed must necessarily be inferior. The pupils of Ebenezer Academy bave entered our Uni- versity and other Colleges, and the Pro. | fessors in those Institutions can testify how well they were prepared for the classes which they wished to enter. We commenced these remarks with the |. statistics. [From the Daily Register of Wednesday.] © “STATE LEGISLATURE.

Dear Sir: The last week wasoccupied by a discussion of the amendments to the Constitution, and it was finally postponed until Monday next. The Slavery question has not been touched, and will probably occupy a week. This has also been postponed until Thursday week.— Some good speeches were made on the Reform question. It is a free fight, and each man exercises the right of at- tacKing friends and foes indiscriminately. The change in the Deed of Trust law has been reported against by the Judiciary Committee more on acconnt of the diffi- culties attending the details of the bill, than from opposi- tion to its principle. County Courts and the Conatitu- tion will probably remain untouched, as there is a strong { { { | matter how wrong or ridiculous. The Manchester re- | lief bill has been killed in the Senate by seven votes, ; and is completely defunct. There will, I am afraid, be two Bank Charters grant- ed, one for Washington and another for Greensborougn. I will vote against them upon the ground of public poli- cy, as we have enough of capital invested in Bank | Stock for the commercial wants of the Coantry, and it | ought to be directed to manufacturing, which will be | more beneficial to the State at large.

In politics we will be decidedly Whig, and shall en- deavor with all our ability, to sustain the cause of this | great Republican Party, consequently we will give the | present administration our hearty support. We will at | all times, however, reserye to ourselves the privilege of condemning whatever we may think wrong, either in friend or foes. While we shall use all honorable efforts to advance the interests and defend the conservative principles of our Party, we will practice a system of courtesy towards our opponents, so long as they conduct themselves in such a way as to deserve it. - Perhaps it is useless to say we are ‘true Southrons,’ though we consider the Compromise, effected by the last Congress on the Slavery question, as a great and patri- otic measure, well deserving the approbation of all par- ties who desire the peace and happiness of their country. But while we are in favor of the. late Compromise, we ' deny the charge made against us of being ‘sudmission- | ists,’ and will take occasion to hurl it back upon its au- thors—let them ‘commend the poison challice to their own lips,’ we'll none of it. We will endeavor to make the ‘Mercury’ interesting to all—but particular attention will be made to the de- | partments of Mining and Agriculture. The size of the paper has not yet been determined on.
