Among the many subjects which have atjracted the attention of both ancient and modern philosophers, and at times been discussed with great ability and zeal by Ds Matuer and others, is the constant and certain diminution of the Sea, or the observable decrease of the waters of the Ocean. Facts can be produced to show that the ocean line of coast has frequent- ly altered, projecting itself into the sea; and that rocks have appeared above the water which were known in former days to .have been considerably immersed.— These facts have been attributed by some |to volcanic action, and by others to the gradual rising of the land by interior heat, expanding beneath and forcing the mass above to rise. But we propose to show that all these phenomena of the change in the ocean line of seacoast, and appear- ance of rocks above the water, is caused by a constant diminution of the waters of the ocean; and that a process is at all times going on by which the substances held in solution in the ocean waters are converted into solids. In order to make this subject plain and lucid, all technical scientific nomenclatures will be avoided, and even the names of the busy and dif. ferent classes of architects in the great work of consolidation of the vast unfath- omable ocean will be called by simple names, The object of a scientific know- slime, soda, and salt—that it is as hard as the. most durable stone. These sub- stances are taken from the waters of the Ocean, separated by the animal formed in the waters from whence they were taken, ‘and made insoluble in the same substance in which they were held in solution. This peculiar chemical separation—the precip- itation of each substance, in the singular manner performed by shell-fish in the fab- rication of their domicils—has never yet been attained by the most learned and practical chemist. The little coral insect, which silently, surely, and industriously builds up from the oeean depth his tree house, is, equally with the shell-fish, an accomplished architect and scientific che- mist. He selects his materials from the Ocean, separate them, mixes them in Proper proportions. and forms them into solids, in the same medium from which the materials were taken. Each work- man performs his part, abandons it when finished, and gives place to another set, as systematically as the others, and more so than either the bricklayer, the carpenter, or plasterer in a modern building. These submerged land-ocean mechanics and chemists never fail in their work, nor in- terfere with each other. We never see a univalve attempting to fabricate a bi- valve’s mansion; nor do we see a tree- coral working on the mansion of a mush- room ; but each builds his own structure, and then gives place to another charac- ter of workmen at the moment be is re- quired tocommence. The first mechanic in this great work of the diminution of the ocean is the tree-coral. This little insect generally (I may say always) se- lects the deepest water of all this tribe to work in; his foundation requires a flat surface ; here he fastens his base, and commencesthe superstructure. The whole body commence their work at the same time, and continue unceasingly ontil their forest city is completely built. No mis- take is made ; not one is out of its proper position, but each regularly and beauti- fully arranged, and in such a manner that neither storms, waves, nor other causes can displace or throw down their man- sions are now abandoned, and the little chemist and mechanic drifts off to some other bank, there again to form his forest house. . He is now replaced by another, who subtracts from the liquid ocean his materials, passes them through his labo- ratory, and forms another species of man- sion, uniting in a solid mass the forests of his predecessor, abandons it and crawls off to another forest. He then is succeed- ed by another. and another succeeds him, until the reef becomes ar island. Salt, SS line of modern date does ‘not correspond with the sea line of ancient times. The vast accumulation of coral reefs and isl- ands in the Pacific, and onthe coast of Norh and South America, has diminished the ocean liquid sufficiently to alter the seacoasts of Europe—projecting them fur- ther into the sea. One remarkable fact in this diminution of the shores of the | Mediterranean, which appear to be bigh- er now than they were formerly, is par- ticularly shown in the Straits of Gibral- tar and the passage of the Dardanelles. De Mellet noticed these facts over sixty years since, but attributed them to very different causes from those herein stated. This process of island-making is among the most wonderful and simple of Nature. We first perceive an innumerable and al- most imperceptible number of minuté in- sects forming a solid mass, which in time | Teaches the surface of the ocean. This coral tock reef now becomes the home of multitades of shell fish, that die and depo- site their shells and fill up the reef com- pactly, even with the water; kelp attach- es itself to the rocks, and the action of the sea during gales tears much of it off and deposites it among the crevices, where it decays. The Sargossa plant finds its way by the innumerable currents of the ocean to these islands, and is thrown upon them in vast quantities, forming a temporary soil, the sea bird seeks the place for food, as the sea weeds contain many myriads of little marine insects. The birds enrich the deposites already there; and now hold with its tendrils of the sharp points of coral, and firmly attaching itself to them. Here, then, is an island, the whole of which has been formed from the solid contents of the ocean, which had been held in solution from the beginning of creation, nothing of which can be returo- ed to it, as the whole substances have been rendered insoluble in water by the peculiar chemical] process which rendered it solid. Here is a process which must, in time, enclose the Caribbean sea and Gulf of Mexico, making them lakes ; ab- stracting from the gulf and this sea near- ly all their salt, soda, and lime, and leav- ing fresh water lakes, similar to those of Erie, Ontario, &c., which at some former period may have been salt. And by this process the Pacific ocean wil] be narrow- ed into a mere strait, or not wider than a few days from continent to continent.— This stupendous work of continent mak- ing is one necessary to the future wants of man, who must eventually increase in numbers to populate all the known ara- | ble lands now awaiting his increase.— comes the everlasting mangrove, seizing | soda, and lime are the principal ingredi- | These forming lands are situated within ents which compose this solid base. on! those parallels most conducive to produc- which there is to be formed earth, trees, | tiveness, where the materials required for and other vegetation.

A meeting was called to be held at New Berne on Tuesday night last, for the same purpose. The improvement of Neuse River, so as.to make it navigable at all seagons of the year, is a matter of vast importance to the Counties ly. | ing on it, and also of much importance to the District of country penetrated by the Central Rail Road. It was the intention of the Legis. lature that chartered Central Road to make the improvement of the Neuse a connecting link between the East and the West. It is now fixed beyond al] doubt that the Road will touch’ at Waynesboro,’ and that a depot and ware. house will be constructed there. This ensures - an immediate connection between the Road and the River Improvement, and opens two markets in North Carolina to the productions of the West.

The destination of the St. Ange is the mouth of the Yellow Stone river, more than two thousand miles up the Missouri, and the head of steamboat navigation on that river, At that point most of her passengers will take to Mackinaw boats and proceed to the falls of the Missouri, Most ofthese are mountain men in the employ of the American Fur Company, and whose sphere of operations 1s among the tribes atthe base of the Rocky Mountains.

Its} diec was as well defined as the full moon, and | about one half the diameter. ‘The coior of the front half was a bright whitish yellow, passing into a red flame color, and then into a blue, where the tail commenced, which was about one quarter the width of the body, and nearly twice the length of the diameter of the body. It burst out in full eplendor, just west of the bedy of Scorpio, about on the horizontal level of Atares, and passed with a very slog motion towards the southeast, right through the tail of | Scorpio, retaining the same brilliancy till it dis- appeared behind a wall within two or three de. grees of the horizon, right under the arrow of Sagittarious. {t was several seconds in pass. ing over this short space, as some remarks were made by the observers during its flight. Its | motion was not entirely in a straight line, but slightly concave below.

Men. may, without censure, denounce the Constita- tion as an “atrocious bargain” and a “compact with hell.” They may gointo the streets, and, by seditious speeches, stimulate the mob to a treasonable resist- ance to the laws. They may, without re- buke, write inflammatory letters to Abo- lition conventions, denouncing measures to which they had previously pledged their support. All these things they may do, and it is intolerance to censure them. But when men in certain locaiities be- gin to speak of the Union in the true spi- ritof union and amity—when they recom- mend an acquiescence in the Compromise measures of the last session as the best settlement that could, under all the cir- cumstances, be obtained for both sections of the country and all parties—then, for- sooth, they are treading on forbidden ground. No “toleration” is to be extend- ed to men who preach such doctrines, no matter who they are, what portion of the country they represent, or what public station they may fill. Such expressions of opinion must be ridiculed as manifest. ing an over anxiety to “ save the Union” — an anxiety that can be commended only for the double-tongued use of similar ex- pressions by the professors and disciples of the “higher law.” When Mr. Sumyer denounces the Compromise, and professes a reverence for the Union, he is treated with ample “ toleration” by the same jour- nal which cannot “tolerate” similar pro- fessions in Mr. Secretary Webster, or Mr. Secretary Graham, when they are coupled ‘ ¢ PSS mp nise me of * toleration.” — Republic. From the Petersburg Intelligencer. SENATOR CHASE A DEMOCRAT. While it is the fashign of certain Dem- ocratic editors toclaim for their party the exclusive guardiansbip of Southern Rights and to look to their political ascendency as the only surety for the institution of slavery, no fact is better established, that among the Democratic party are to be the South as can be pointed out in the ranks of the Whig party. The great head and front of Free-Soilism was, but a sbort time since, the “Northern man with Southern feelings”—the natural ally of the South,” whose claims io a re-elec- tion of the Presidency in 1840 were based upon the ground that the rights of the South would find more security in his ad- and bred in Virginia. presidential nominee of the National Con vention, whoever he may be.

Harrison, born Besides Mr. Van Buren, numerous distinguished and influ- ential Democrats may be found rallied onder tne Hag of Free Soilism. and it is a remarkable fact, that, while the Demo- cratic editors put forth the impudent claim for their party to which we have ahave referred, they are constrained to admit that the Democracy are so torn and divid- ed by this slavery question, as to render it exceedingiy doubtful if the party can be rallied into an effective canvass tor the these circumstances, we think it is high time that this arrogant claim to the guar- diansbip of the South should be dropped ple, and injurious in policy. The claim iiself is as baseless as the fabric of a vis- ion, and the argument that the Constitu. tional rights of the South depend upon the ascendency of one or the other great political party. is an insult to the intelli- gence and patriotism of the country-— When the time comes that ‘the South Constitution which secures them to her, the Government, as far as she is concern- ed, will no longer be worth preserving.— It is humilliating in the last degree to the South to be told that the Constitution is no shield to her, but that she must be ical arena once in every four years, and go up or down as the one or the other po litical party rises or falls.

He would not have the Democra. cy vote for any man in Congress, who will nat insist upon its repeal. By the authorized ap- pointment of Commissioners and Deputy Mar. shals, he says, “the country is filled with ted. eral officers, acting upon the most delicate questions of personal liberty and State sover- eignty—a manifest vivlation of the plain sense of the Constitution.” ‘Tae Democracy should agitate until the act is repealed ! South Carolina Settling Accounts.— The Columbia Telegraph, the State or- gan of South Carolina disunionism, has the following : “ As we should be entitled to a share of the public property—our share of the investment and profits of the co partner- ship—it is also our duty to eall on the co- States for settlement. With them we made the bargain, and with them we should propose to settle and not with the .Federal Government. And when we no- tify them of our intention to withdraw it might seem advisable to notify them of our desire to have our share of the pro- | perty delivered over to us, or its value in | money, as it might serve to fortify our State and purchase or build a Navy.” We are suthorised J v0 annoence Ha.

We observe in the North Carolina papers that the contracts for the graduation, masonry, &c., of the North Carolina Rail Raad will soon be let out, and will of course soon be completed. This road extends from its inter- section on the Wilmington and Raleigh Rail Road to Charlotte, a distance of 223 miles. The work is to commence on, or before the Ist of January, and to be completed on or before, the Ist of January 1854. _ This road completed, will prove a strong incentive in those who are interested in our road to press it to its termination also. This spirit of enterprise in North Carolina for the construction of vast works of in- ternal improvement cannot help but create a correspond- ing interest in such works in neighboring States. Ten- nessee wasonce a part of the “ Nort State,” and ma- ny of our laws and customs were introduced with those who settled the infant territory from that section of the Union. And although we would not advise Tennessee to do what North Carolina does just because she does it, yet when her example is a good one, her young daughter, now able to take care of herself, should fol- low the example of the careful instructress of her youth. Whilst on the subject of the North Carolina Rail Road we may again refer our readers to the success of the part of the C. and S. C. Rail Road just completed and in operation. During four months, commencing the Ist of January last, this road was in operation, and the ex- pense of that period was $5,013, and the income $17,- 105, making a clear gain.to the Company, in this brief period, of over $12,0U0. This is testimony sufficient to shew the value of Rail Roads, and the safety and re- turn of money invested therein. This is no mere speculative assertion ; the facts of the statement are beyond question. Why then should any person hesitate, through timidity, to invest their funds in this work? We have an honest Directory, and a faithful Engineer; cannot honesty and faithfulness be trusted? If so, let your belief be shown by deeds. Jonesboro’ (Tenn.)

Since the announcement of his committal, we learn that Adam Crooks was set at fiberty during last week, entering into bond at the same time to leave the State, as the language of the law would say of indomitable an- imals, animo non revertendi, with an intention of not re- turning. Whether he has left, is preparing to leave, or intends so tu do, we have no means of knowing. We think he would do well to leave, both for himself and the community in general. We think it hardly proba- | ble that any unprejudiced mind has failed to cbserve, | that the labors of this man have wrought an injury to those for whom he labors, an injury to the owner of slaves, and an injury to the public. That Crooks has some followers in this county i8 un- deniable ; but-it is due to the great body of the people of the county that the fact should be known, that slave- owners and non-slave-owners are utterly opposed to him and his mission. ‘The fact is, he has attracted but little attention until recently, the quiet influential citizens deeming him unworthy of notice. | It is perhaps due to the Society of Friends, a people | who are notoriously opposed to the principle of slavery, and who are quite numerous in parts of this county, to | state that they, as a Church, have given Crooks and I: h of the i FoR tual condition of the channels, at this time, | 8 we ; The Foreign News by the Niagara is resting and important. ased excitement int of the President’s speech at Dijon. d Gen.

The fol- lowing unsolicited notice from the Greensboro’ Patriot, is a just tribute to the merits of the new discovery : “SUPERIOR DAGUERREOTYPES.” “Jt has been the prime fault of all the deguerreo- type pictures we have heretofore seen, that the back ground presents a glossy appearance. disagreeable to the eye, and rendering the picture difficult to be seen die- tinctly except in certain points of view. But within the last few days we have seen several specimens of a great improvement in this particular, as practiced by Dr. Weeks, who has been for nearly three months pursuing the art in thisplace. He is producing pictures with the back ground deadened to a creamy or pearl-like ap- pearance, the glossy or reflecting quality of which is almost entirely destroyed. The consequence is, that the picture itself stands out, well defined in out-line, and almost as distinct in appearance as if painted on white paper or ivory.” [June 5, 1851—3 THE RED FLAG?

Paris and London.—The London journals groan, and the Paris journals chuckle, that the visitersto the World’s Fair add nothing to Lon- don, count nothing there, spend nothing; but g° over to Paris, frolic, spend, make merry, dance, atid sing. The lodging houses of Lon. don are vacant. The theatres and other places of amusement are leaner aud lanker than ever, Ne eagles, no ducats, no Louis, no sequins, no thalers, no Frederics, no rupees, spent in Lon. den! All the gold goes over to Paris, and the visters in London live with the strictest econ- omy on bread and tea, beaf-steaks, and mut- ton chops, in the porter-houses, drinking only beer, and poor at that. The West End is lined yet with placards of lodgings to let. Thus, London catculating upon such an immense in. flux of immigrants as would overwhelm even 4 her capacity for entertainment, has been dis. appointed throughout. Paris reaps whatever there is of profits from the World’s locomotion. This is not surprising. London, to a stran. grr, is sad, sombre ; and a stranger feels there as ifthe were in a forest of men, women, and children, who have no more sympathy with him than if he and they were trees. Paris, on the contrary, is life-like, and as a gay, jovial air. The people are out of doors. You may meet them in the shops, in the refectories, in the public parks, every where, in short, and they prate, chalter, and gabble, so that you soun feel as if you were at the world’s home, and not as an outcast among mankind. Pa. ris knows how to be agreeable to strangers ; but London bas nothing for them at all, except the.eub-aquean Tunnel, the ‘ower as of an Herculaneum—g)oomy St. Paul’s or Westmin- ster. The living sights that keep a bomeless man alive are few and far between, or else in- * visible ; while in Paris the dead is something. but the diving is more than something—axt. London, if you can open its doors and get in. side of it, is, no doubt, a charming place, for there is a home (so it is said) there; but a stranger seldom or never gets into il, and so it ‘ does. him no good. In Paris there is no home, soeb as is known in London or New York ; but the theatres are boine—the restaurants are home—ihe Boulevards are home—the Champs Etysees sre home—and hence,'as home is in the street, every body is at home. So people go to. London, but siop in Paris.—New York Ex. press. Justice to the Roman Republic.—Atter the Pontifical authorities, by means of foreign troops had regained possession of the city of Rome in the summer of 1849, they appointed a commis. sion to examine the accounts and registers of the republican city government. That com. mission has made its report and in it are the following words : “* When we undertook to ex. amine the expenditures of the first six months of 1849, which included the period of repubii- can administration, we supposed we were en. tecing upon a perfect labyrinth ; but, to render homage to the truth, we must declare that we have found nothing which was marked by sa arbitrary character.” To this (says the Cou. riere Merchantile, of Genoa) is to be added the fact that the republican city government Jefi in the treasury at the moment of its resignation the sum. of $56,000, notwithstanding the heavy expenses of the siege.—N. Y. Tribune. Emigration to the West.—The St. Louis Republican says that at no time hefore bas the migration into Illinois, lowa, Minnesota, and Missouri been ao genera} as this year. Large eceessions are daily made to their population from other States of the Union, and sections of ‘the country which have heretofore heen passed by are rapidly Gilling up with population, and the lands, as their worth is developed, are be. coming valuable. In addition to the tide from ‘other States greatly inctéased oumbers of for. “* Pign emigrants are arriving. Nearly every heat from the South, and frequently boats from zi come crowded to excess with these emi. greats.

The worst case of Cholera morbus, dysente. ry, and flux, that I ever saw, |] have repeatedly cured in @ few minutes, or hours, by a strong tea made of the bark of the Sweet Gum, taken green from the tree is best. Steep a handful to a pint of water until the liquor is like good coffee. Drink it clear, or sweeten with loaf sugar, or add a wine glass of brandy if the shock is severe. If not infallible it is remark. able in its effects, and well worthy of being known and tried in every family. SOLON ROBINSON. We can add our own tesimony to the value of the Sweet Gum tea, having experienced amazing and speedy relief from its use in a vi- olent case of dysentery, which refused to yield to the usual remedies. We have also seen in the Jast five years, its wonderful benefit in ma. ny other cases; we have used the decoction made from the bark both green and dried, and have discovered no material difference in the effect, both being efficacious.—Frank. Far. I met with the foregoing valuable recipe several years since, and I have only to add what has already heen said by the “Franklin Farmer”—that I have witnessed speedy relief in violent cases of dysentery which refused to yield to the usual remedies, by the use of the bark of the Sweet Gum, having it at command, I can with much confidence recommnd its us from my own experience. A GEORGIA PLANTER. Two Duexizists.—The Chronicle of Wes. tern Literature tells the following story of a cer. tain Colonel. It may be old, but it is good: The Colonel, during a short sojourn in Vicksburg, met there some hot-blooded Sou. therner, with a spirit as fiery as his own.— They quarreled—a challenge was passed and accepted, and the next rising sun was to wit. ness one, if not both, of their dead bodies drenched in blood to wash out wounded honor. During the night the Colonel said he heard a boat coming up the river, and it struck him as he heard the boat puffing and blowing “that prudence was the better part of valor.” So he took his trudk upon bis shoulder, and stepped, in the dead of the night, very quietly out of the hotel ; as he neared the boat, whem should he see but his antagonist at the boat before him, Just going aboard. He returned as he had gone out; and was on the ground next morning with his second, wai- ting with disappointed wrath for his astagonist, and published him as an abseonding scoundrel. From the Cincinnati Times. THE TURKISH DREss. There has been a great deal of twaddle pub. lished lately tu show how daring the ladies are going to be, in introducing a new atyle of dress. We see it stated that it will certainly be done, that certain ladies have ventured to appear in the streets of New York, Philadelphia, and Sy- racuse, &c. ‘The origin of this foolery was in the latter place, a village in western New York a district of country famous for innovations on established landmarks in morals, science, poli. tics, and common sense. Thereabouts, when a boy, we first heard of steam-doctoring, and learned that a Johnny Raw, fresh from the lap. stone, could for $20, and with the aid of a pat. ent, be qualified to practice medicine on the steam principle. The Millerism a few years since had armies ot disciples, and more recent. ly, that smart Fox tamily called spirits up from the vasty deep for a dollar a sight, to rap the small remains of common sense out of the nod. dles of the credulous, par excellence. There the pure abolitionists give vent to the ravings of troubled consciences, and pass resolutions insulting the Government, only to demonstrate at entire ignorance of morals, government, and patriotism. Se a ee [ite THU age of excitement and innovation. Changes in all matters connected with Heal progress are frequent, and unhesitatingly en. tered upon. ‘ But the thinker and the scholar know that the dress or costume of a people is never chang. ed suddenly, and great innovations are only made ia it by slow degress.

From the muzzle back to within an inch or two of the eyes, the size of the proboscis, or whatever it may be called, is nearly uniform. say an inch and a quar- ter in diameter, in its diminished condi- tion; but where the eyes are inserted, the | diameter is about two inches, and in. creases back to the extremity of the gills. Just behind the gills are two fins, one on each side, and at that point commences what may be called the body. Of this, only about four inches are preserved, enlarging to the point where the granes broke it asunder. The entire length of the head, including this small section of the body, is]7inches. Capt.

In this hopeless com dition, when the eye of Great Britain refused 'o pity, and her own arm was too weak to save; South Carolina, * bound to North Carolina on. ly by the tie of neighbor,” generously brought assistance and protection.

Here endeth the first lesson ! Now ‘‘non-dngcript” puts the case more pointedly, viz: Mecca assisted the Old North State, nearly a century and a half ago against an insurrection of the Indians ; therefure the old North State is bound to go down and aid Mecca in her contemplated insurrection against her own Government.

My information is, that North and South Carolina were embraced in the Charters of Carolina of March 20, 1663 and June 80, 1665, by Charles the Second; that they remained under one Proprietary Government ceased und the Royal Government began; at which time a separation took place and the Chivalry went | out from us and became “ bound only by the tie of neighbors.” TI incline to think, conse. quently, that Gov. Craven, as the eworn repre. sentative of the Lords Proprietors, did in 1711, or 712 nothing more than what every sworn Executive of every Government is obliged to do, namely: to put down insurrection within his territory whether raised by white men or Indians. Yet Gov. Craven is lustily praised, though he succeeded, and succeeded too by em. ploying kindred blood against kindred blood— Indian against Indian! Mr. Fillmore is Justi. ly denounced, though he has not even made a threat, except against Massachusetts — for which he has had the advocates of * indivisi. ble sovereignty” about his ears. The fact is, these * Pilgrims to Mecca” and the resident inhabitants thereof are so full of gall and wormwood towards North Catolina that they can’t but show it on the most indif. ferent occasions. ‘hey openly and in the ve. ry face of the highest proof, deny ever having had any connextion with us. ‘lve hear them talk South Carolina, or Carolina, as they are. fond of calling her, is the only holy city—the mother of all States—raised them up from in. fancy, educated them, protected them, fought their battles and paid out countless millions for them without any adequate return. Yet hard. ly are these false words of matchless arro- gance cool on their lips, ere they cry—and even in their crying, show the authoritative pet. ulance of conceit, “come and help us!” Is this the way to win sympathy? Is this the way to procure co-operation? North Carolina admits no superiority in her refractory namesake ef. ther in respect of age or services to our com. mon country. She has always done her own voling and her own fighing. By the one she has not only giveo her citizens a larger liber. ty than the inhabitants ob Mecca have ever yet enjoyed but she has saved herself from that "precipice of State dishonor or political destruc. tion, over which the chivalry is now banging. By the other, she has given to history the names of Guilford and Mecklenburg, and secured the just boast, that on her soil was stayed—and ef. fectually stayed—the tide of Toryism which had overrun South Carolina and which threat. ened to deluge wiih disaster the struggle for independence in the Scuthern States. North Caralina wil] continue to do her own voting and her own fighting. There were no tears shed at opt Separation in 1729—the separation was lawfully effected. If South Carolina don’t quit fofowing her political Jacks with a lantern, yeap’alter year, trying to coerce others into the quagmires, where she finds herself, our sepa- ration a few months hence will certainly be made with tears—bu! they'll be tears of joy.— The chivalry, while tbey abuse us for not help- ing them to cut their own throats, are appre- hensive that North Carolina will join an alli- ance of Virginia and Tennessee to keep them from reaping the reward of their madness.— ‘The chivalry are very much out of it. We do not intend to-afford them the means of taking their own lives, because that would be criminal and we are “ submissionists” to the law. But this mueb, North Carolina and Georgia too, we think, for they are equally interested in re- moving contagious distempers as far as possi- ble from their people. will promise; viz: that if South Carolina will go out of the Union and behave herself out of doors soberly. as foriwen- ty-Give years she has not done inside, they will kindly and at the sacrifice of some conscien- tious scruples lovk over the violent ungonstitu- tionality of her out going. and firmly withhold themselves from any attempt!

The mer- | chant communicated to his friend the ob- | ject and probable duration of his visit to.

As this la- | dy was one of the handsomest and most | accomplished women in New York, the | friend, of course joyfully undertook the | embassy to the court of beauty. | The merchant continued his voyage, | and, on arriving al St. Petersburg, he | found that his alfairs in that city were so | complicated as to require his presence in | the Russian capital for a much longer time than he had anticipated. Mean- | while his aristocratic friend arrived in| Gotham, presented the letter, and effected a much closer introduction to the mer- chant’s wife thgn her absent husband had | originally intended. Well, one day last week, after an ab- | sence of two years and five months, the merchant landed at this port; but ima: | gine his astqnishment, when, upon unex: | pectedly presenting himself at his old res- | idence in the Fifth Avenue, he discovered, | to his unutterable horror, that a diminu- tive stranger, of some six weeks old, bad | recently become a member of his house- | hold.

The history of this pretended Southern Right party is rather corieus and interesting. e article only a fe@ of the prominent points. Their claim, perbaps it would be correct to state, commenced even who then claimed the name of Southern Rights Men, opposed violently the Tariff of that year. Almost the Grst political event we recollect was the listening to a three hours’ speech of Hon. George McDuffie in 1828, at Abbeville Court. house, in South Carolina. In that speech he was quite as bitter on the North and the par- simontous Yankees as our hot headed Fire- eaters are now in their addresses. The days of nulification, from 1830 to 1833, followed, and in the estimation of these nullily- ing saints no man was a friend to the South men, then were called, in derision, * Soap tails,’ Union men are now honored with similar names. So intolerant and despotic were the nullifiers then in the ma- jority, that they would have driven every man out of the State who did not comply with their commands. Witness the test oath, as well as other acts in Soutb Carolina. This same class of men among us would now go the same thing, did they possess the power. But even these men, who “never had known fear,” accepted from Henry Clay, and seemed very thankful to get out of the difficul- ly upon such good terms. The next link in the chain was the passage through Congress of the notorious Atherton Re. | solutions. ‘These were concocted and agreed upon in a caucus of Northern and Southern De- mocrats—Suuthern Whigs not being consider. | ed of sufficient importance to be consulted ina | matter of vital importance to their constituents | —and presented io the House by Mr. Atherton, and the Democratic party called upon to sustain | them. Southern Whigs also voted for them, | or heard of them until they were presented lo | House. ‘These resolutions were the founda. tion of the celebrated twenty-first rule, which was intended to exclude abolition petitions, and to sustain them, although they were final. riy which passed | } j all good friends of the South were called upon | ly repealed by the same pa them originally. This move was followed by the election for | President in 1836, when all good friends of the | South were called upon by the same self-styled | Southern Rights party to vote for Martin Van Buren—now the prince of Freesoilers— after he had admitied the right of Congress to abolish slavery in the District of Columbia ; and against Hugh L. White, a Southern man anda slaveholder, who denied the right of Con- gress over the subject of slavery inthe District, and North or South. In 1840 these same Southern Rights men again voted for Martin Van Buren, while they charged Gen. Harrison with being an Abolitionist, and desparate ef. forts were made throughout the South to con- vict him of that charge, as well as all those who supported him. After the death of Gen. Harrieon, and when Mr. Tyler got up the Tex. as question, it was immediately seized upon by this party and made, at once, the Southern ques- tion par excellence, and the !eaders declared their determination to vote for no man who was not ip favor of the annexation question. — This caused the defeat cf Van Buren in the Baltimore Convention, and for the first time in the history of the Democratic party, a purely sectional question controlled the nomination for ‘Tbis nomination, too, destroyed the nationality of that party, and was the cause of | the defeat of Gen. Cass in 1848. Mr. Polk was nominated and elected. In the canvass the rallying cry was * Polk, Dal- las, Texas and Oregon,” and finally most of the same friends of the south voted for the Ore- gon Bill afierthe Wilmot Proviso, in substance had been added to it. ‘The destiny of the south, /and, we fear, insincerity , . ts” eee} a. ‘ . ¢ F ré.goud Soutbero Rights - d og least devbtful. The vatural reeult of his address was the Nashville Conren- tion. When this measure was proposed by this eame class of friende to the South. a new idst was presented ; none bot the supporters of this Hartford Disunion Nashville Convention were considered by the getters-up of the scheme as friends of the South. The next step was the Compromise. and here the true friends exhibited their peculiar love to the South by opposing this measure of peace, and proposig the line of 36 30 to the Pacific and the passage of a law by Congress to pro- tect property in slaves in the territories, surren- dering thereby the right to levislate upon the subject to that body, and taking the very oppo- site of the ground they occupied in 1848. At the present time the test of devotion tothe South, by the exclusive class who arrogate to themselves the name of Southern Righis, is to abuse the Union, swear allegiance to South | Carolina through the State government, and advocate secession and disunion as the only hope, the only salvation for Southern institu. tions. Do this, and they will pronounce you @ firstrate friend of the South, but if you adhere to the Union of your fathers, as itis, and Com. promise measures as they are, you can be, ac. cording to their standard, no friend to the South. We have thus cursorily glanced at the past, for the purpose of exhibiting the inconsistency Southern Rights party. Their movements can be traced, for they generally leave their mask. and we should like to have the measure pointed out which they have ever carried, which has proved beneficial to the South, or which has ten- ded to strengthen her institutions. To us, the whole object appears to have been political, and | and ours, and make us objects of contempt | The procession then returned to the | we cannot avoid the conclusion that, if their pe- culiar friends were now in power, the dangers to the South would soon vanish into thin air.— Their agitations and ultra doctrines are any- thing else than beneficial to the South. (The Republican and Patriot says of the Telegraph. that “it denies the right of se- cession toa State, and would vote men and mo- ney to enable the President to whip such State ‘nto submission.” The former of these two propositions is correct, in @ iimited sense. To the doctrine of seces:*... as entertained by some, perhaps a majorily of the democratic par- ly, we are entirely opposed. We do not think that a State under all circumstances, with or he | without cause, merely at its option, has a right to withdraw from, and perhaps destroy this Un. ion. We do not think thas Florida, for whose territory five millions of dollars was paid by the Government out of the common treasure, would have a right whenever she saw fil, to withdraw from the Union. and annex herself again with | | Spain, from whom she was purchased. not think that Louisiana, for whom and for whose territory Mr. Jeflerson paid fifteen mill. ions, would have a right at her mere option, to withdraw, and if she thought proper, annex her. self also to the Spanish Government, or to Chi- na, thereby giving it the title to the mouth ol the Mississippi, and depriving the U. States of the free navigation of its waters, the very olyect which we had in view when the purchase was made. We do not believe that New York has the right, by withdrawing without cause, to di- vide the country into two sections, and to place the States in the strange position of having a foreigner in the person of Mr. Fillmore, to fill the Executive chair, and he too a traitor, if N. York should choose to consider bim. We do not believe that California, which was acquir- ed by Mr. Polk * as an indemnity for the past” il]-conduct of Mexico, would, after she bas ac- quired the power, and wealth, and importance, which unquestionably lie before her, have a right, actuated by pride and an ambition to ex- ercise the allributes of sovereignty, to say lo the oiber States, * We will remain with you no longer. Jimes are peaceful and quiet ‘tis true we are laboring under no oppression, we are prosperous and rich and happy, we like you ve- ry well, and have grown great under your pro: tection, but we choose lo be by ourselves, and therefore we quit you.” All these things, we repeat, we do not and cannot believe. But we do believe, that in cases where oppression he- comes intolerable, and where ‘non resisiance aud submission are greater evils than resist- ayee and revolution,” that then a State or its | psople have the RIGHT to revolutionize, or to it was claimed by these ardent Southern Rights men, depended on the annexation of Texas and Oregon, and all good Southern Rights men were called upon to vote for Polk, Texas and Ore. gon. ‘They were cautioned that the manner in which they proposed to annex Texas would lead to difficulty and probably war with Mex. fighting. As for Oregon. they were not at all afraid of her. War did follow, and again these men-called upon the friends of the south to ral- ly tothe support of the war against Mexico, as a southern measure. Peace brought with it a large accession of territory, which these same peculiar friends of the south voted fur as ‘indemnity for the past and security for the future,” and while taking | territory, approptiated so much that Mr. Polk voluntarily gave Mexico $15,000,000 to bal- ance accounts. Subsequently, the doctrine in Congress—so far as this territory was concerned, was non-in- tervention—that Congress had no power to le. gislate on the subject of slavery in those territo- ries. ‘This was good Southern Rights doctrine in 1848; appeals were made to southern men who were instrumental in its defeat, received the severest condemnation from the men of whom we have been speaking. All the “friends of the south” then asked waa, that the territo- ries be left free cf all legislation by Cungress. The canvass of 1848 succeeded, and in this these same esclusive friends of the south de. clared their preference for Gen. Cass, a non- slavebolder, to Gen. Taylor, who was a large staveholder, and throughout the canvass called loudly on all the friends of the south and of souinern rights, to come to the rescue and vote for Gan. Cass,asa friend of the south. They labored for montha to prove Gen. Taylor to be a Wilmot Proviso man, and proclaimed it thro’ the south thai he was not to be relied upon on the slavery question. The election resulted in favor of Taylor, and these peculiar friends of the South despaired | compatible with her interests, her honor, resist, or to do whatever else she may deem and her safety. This belief rests upon the Sroad principle, that Gud has noi given, aud man can- not give to any man or set of men, the right to oppress his fellow, and points out the course, by pursuing which, we may avoid both Seylla Charybdis, may escape the danger of consoli- dation upon the one side, and of an utler de- struction of the strength of our Government up- on the other. The statement that we would vote men and money to enable the President to whip a se- ceding Siate into submission, is entirely too broad. There are a vast many casess in which we would not so vole, and there are others, like those specified above, in which we would be governed by surrounding circumstances. But since there would be great danger that such a contest, by exciling the sympathy of others, might eventuate in the utter overthrow of the fair fabric of our Union.” Should South Car- olina undertake to secede, we would say to her Go in peace. ed to barm you.

Sobriety after a call from the 15th May to the 26th of June, answers ne- gatively, and not only denies, but is willing todeny with an oath, that White ever uttered such sentiments; and his reason is that he heard White say in a public speech that “he considered the ‘Order’ infinitely below the Church.” Now here is a swift witness ! when a certain man was first told that he was with Je- sas of Gallilee, he simply denied; when told the second time, he denied with an oath, and when told the third time he began to curse and ‘* swear”; and I ask him “professionally” if his testimony would not be just no- thing as to the fact under consideration.

These Springs are situated in Patrick county, Va., eeven miles northeast of the court house, between No- business and Bull mountains, one of the healthiest pla ces in the known world, and the mountain scenery pos” sessing the romantic features which every where char- acterize the vicinity of the Bive Ridge. There are two orthree Mineral Springs near each other lately discov- ered, one of which is a very bold running fountain, and several other fine cool freestone springs. The Mineral Water at this place is doubtless as good Chalybeate Water as this or any other State affords.— Iv is specially recommended by physicians for the vari- ous diseases peculiar to females.

Salisbury, March 27, 1851—47 EAGLE MILLS! = J e HERE is a fair prospect of a Company of North- ern Mechanics and Manufacturers settling on the Eagle or South Eagle Tract. The South Eagle Tract is adjoining the Eagle,on both of which is a splendid water power of great force. I havea beautiful piece of Land in the South Eagle Tract which I propose to lay off in small Jots of one fourth of an acre each, for the ac- commodation of Merchants, Doctors, and Mechanics All such persons would do well to give this rising place due attention. “There is a tide in the affairs of men Which, taken at its flood, Leads on to” happiness and wealth. Here is a chance.+ Capitalists would also do well to look this way. Ineeda little help to carry on more suc- cessfully, the enterprises in which I am engaged and on which I propose to enter. I am steadily progressing, however, though slow'y, with my original schemes, to wit: the erection of Factories for spinning cotton and wool, and for calico printing. But as I advance the prospect opens up, and invites to larger and more fruitful fields. This location for manufacturing purposes and for a Town, is very favorable. It is near enough to the great Central Rail Road, and ina very healthy region of Country. I willsell lots privately on the most favorable terms to suit purchasers. The water power on the South Eagle Tract, is immense, and capable of driving almost any amount of Machinery. Early applications either for lots or an interest in the present or proposed enterprises will receive the most favorable offers 3m4 ANDREW RAGGARLY. Iredell Couniy, N.

Yet he fled from a very worthy man, Whom I met with the greatest pleasure ; Whom I called by name and forced to stop, Though he said he was not at leisure. He held my last note / so I held him fast Till he freed my neck from the collar ; Then I shook his band and proudly said, “«« Now I owe no man a dollar!” Ah! now you sinile, for you feel the force Of the truth’s I’ve been repeating ; I know that a downright honest heart In that gentle breast was beating ; To-morrow, II] rise with a giant’s strength To follow my daily labor ; But ere we sleep, let us humbly pray Forgur wretched next door neighbor.

The Florence correspondent of the Newark Advertiser has some interesting details of some of the cruellies enacted by the various govern. ments of Italy. After giving a number of fn. stances, it comes to those perpetrated in Na. ples, in the name of Justice : Within five or six days the noble but unfor. tunate Corlo Poerioand several of his compan. jons, were consigned to the most fetid spots on Islands of [schla—where, says one letter, a. snidst the basests criminals, and bearing heavy chains, which bend their bodies, with rough shirts that Jacerate the flesh accustomed to clean soft garments, they remain deprived of everything that can make life endurable. They sleep on the bare ground in preference to old straw beds, which having been occupied by the filthiest criminals, diffuse an insupportable stench, and are alive with vermin. ‘Two bot. * gles of water and render bread and meat is their daily allowance ; but fire is not allowed for any purpose ; nor lights, books, papers, sta- tionery, or even the most indispensable vessels for human necessities. ‘This denial of every means of decency as well as comfort, so affec. ted the commandant of the post, in view of the delicate character of the prisoners, that he ven. tured to make respectful protest to his superi- . ore—for which act of humanity he was forth. | with removed. On the last day of the last month 50 other political prisoners manacledand tied together, were taken [rom the prison of San Francisco in the light of day, and in the presence of a mourn. ing multitude, driven up the steep hill of the pri- son of Santa Maria. ‘Three of them were oc. tegemarians—pallid, weary, infirm and well borw gentlemen, whose enly crime is having hearts to feel for the oppressed of their poorer counirymen. ‘The learned Deputy Gomenico Giannattasio—so well known in this country for his probity, was also one of the number.

I asked him if there was anything else I could do for him. He re. mained silent for a moment, and then said: ‘The Judge has appointed you to see that the sentence is carried into effect, has he not?’ ‘Tam sorry to say he has, Morgan,’ I an. swered, ‘Well, never mind. I would rather it were you than some others here. But] have a par. ticular favor to ask of you. Perhaps you will laugh and think it is weakness, but [ can’t belp it.

One among our company played on the hugle decently well, and as the soul inspiring notes rang out through the valleys, we all im agined ourselves worth, at the least caicula. tion, fifly thousand dollars—or soon would be. Alas! where are they, and their hopes, and expectations, now? All but one have laid their hones in a strange land. Famine, disease and murder, have taken them, one by one, until I alone am lefi, a monument of God’s mercy. But Lain digressing. Nothing worth noti cing oecarrred on our route, and after four day’s hard travel, we arrived, with blistered feet and aching bones; every body unbappy, and every body as disagreeable as any six men could con venlently be, Atter unloading the team, and taking a good bath in the clear, cold waters of the river, we pitehed our tent, cooked our supper, and then, as men generally do in such cases, felt better. All retired early, and enjoyed a good night’s sleep, 9 # KK All went on smocthly for a week. We made the acquaintance of most of the miners at work in the neighborhood, and found them to be all pretty good fellows; they worked hard, and pleaded as an excuse that the climate was so bad that drinking was beneficial. One morning, just as the day was breaking, our accustomed hour for getting up to break. fast, we observed a large crowd gathering a. | round the store, and curiosity getting the bet. ter of us, we started to see what the matter | was, leaving one to cook the breakfast. As we drew near, | could see the form of Jones mingling with the crowd, and gesticulating vi. olently. [inquired of him what had brought so many together, thus early in the morning. * Matier enough,’ he replied. * Here’s that scoundrel! of a Morgan stole no less than three thousand dollars from Dory, the storekeeper.’ ‘Is he taken?’ I asked, astonished at the robbery, ‘Yes, we have him safe enough, and the mo. | ney also,’ chuckled Jones. After some inquiries, T found that about two | v’clock in the morning, Dory was awakened by a slight noise inside of the tent. In an in- stant all was quiet, but thinking that every thing was not right, he took his revolver from under his bed, and commenced tu search about inthe dark All at once his band came in contact with a man’s head. *Who’s this?’ he asked, and received for an- swor @ tremendous blow, which nearly stunned him, but instantly rallying, he discharged his revolver repeatedly at a furm that darted past him, and then tollowed as swiftly as possible In pursuit shouting * stop thief,’ Some dozen or two turning out, gave chase, and succeeding in capturing Morgan. after a desparate resistance, in which he used a knife | rather freely, About 60 yards from the store he had thrown away two buckskin bags that contained the dust, and that was safely deliver. | ed to the owner, They were now about forming a jury to try him for the robbery, and twelve Americans were accordingly chosen, with Jones as Judge. Jory were not out more than half an hour be- fore they returned, and pronounced him wor. | thy of death, leaving it to the judge to decide in what manner he should die. * Well, boys, you have acted wisely, and as Tama merciful man, I decide that at ten o- six of their marksmen load their rifles and have /acrack at him, and may God have mercy on his soul. Mr. ” Jones continued, *I ap. | point you, with as many assistants as you want, to see the law carried into effect.’ | I intimated to the honorable Judge that I should like to be excused from performing so disagreeable a duty, but with a savage look, | he ordered me to ‘ perform the task be had as. signed me, and make no more words about it.’ Morgan had had a fair trial. His guilt was too evident, and as he lay in the store with his | feet and hands bound with strong cords, look- | ing dirty and ragged, with the blood slowly dripping from his arm, where a ball had lodg. ed from the revolver of Dory, I could not help pitying the poor wretch. He must have read . The trial was soon over. and the | ferent bars, and were passing the time away in one or two drinks, to give them an appetite for the tragedy that was soon to be enacted. ‘Make way for the sheriff.” shouted one or (wo noisy fellows, as I endeavored to force my way into the presence of Morgan. . ‘Looks a blamed sight more like a minister. Don’t you see his Bible? said another. I passed into the store, where I found Mor. gan seated on a box. He looked pale and thoughtful, but a smile illuminated his coun. tenance when he saw that I had brought the book with me. I made no reply, but commenced reading a chapter in a low voice. In an instant every head was uncovered within hearing, and all was still within the store. Morgan listened with great attention, but by the time that I had finished the third chapter, the loud voice of Jones called out. ‘Time’s up, bring out the prisoner.” I slowly closed my book, and arose. Mor. gan also arose, and cut the cords that bound his feet and stepped to the entrance of the store. He was now very pale, whether from the loss of blood, or anxiety, [I did not know. While I had been reading to him, they had been diawing lots on the outside, and six of the best marksmen on the river had the chance of shooting at the poor fellow. ‘heir rifles were taken and loaded by a third party, two of them | with nothing but powder, so that it should not _ be known who shot him. We walked along with the prisoner, to the pot that had been chosen. It was a high | plain just back of the store. I asked Morgan if he was ready. *Ctt these confounded cords, and take my | jacket off, so that I may stand up like a man,’ he answered. | [bound his hand, and commenced removing his jacket when something fell to the ground. | [ stooped to pick it up, and found it was a min. ‘iature, It represented a young and beautiful female, holding in her arms a young babe ap. | parently only a few months old. The mother | was looking at the child with such a look, as only a mother can give, while the child appear. _ed to be making a playful effort to reach a ringlet of the hair, which fell in long curls | about ber neck. [looked up and asked. * Mor. gan, whose potrait is this ?— | He then for the first time observed that I had it, ‘That is the potrait of my wife and child, | whom I left in New York,’ he said, and burst into tears. ‘Bury it with me, for it is all that _I have now.’ I felt as though a good crying spell would |do me good about that time, and if a drop fell upon her beautiful face, that was gazing so sweetly at her child. let me hope that did not tarnish the bright colors of,the picture. | In the meantime a large crowd had assem. bled, and were gazing over my shoulder at the picture with evident delight. I passed it round to them, and every one of those rough men ap. | peared to have a spark of human feeling in ‘their breasts, :hat only needed to be touched to produce good results. I had never made a speech in my life, but a new feeling seemed to flow through my veins. Springing upon a large log, I commenced a rambling address. — I alluded to his poor wife and infant child, their dependence on him for support ; and the anxie- ty and sorrow they must feel should they never hear from him again. Before | had finished, |I heard the loud voice of old Jones, exclaim. , ng. Darn it all, boys, let the fellow go. Ihave _ got an old woman myself, and half dozen chil. i dren, and I kind®r guess how they would feel if T should pop off.’ * Let the fellow yo,’ said some half dozen of the men who came down on the river. ‘Let us decide the matter by puiting it to vote,’ exclaimed our old friend Jones. | © To vote it is then,’ said I, overjoyed at my success, ‘All those in favor of letting Mor- | gan go will please signifying it by saying yes.’ ‘Yes! yes!’ roared nearly every voice in the crowd. I now turned to Icok at Morgan. He had sunk on his knees when the result of the vote had been declared, and I sincerely believe that he made a short acknowledgment go heaven for his wonderful preservation. He arose (rom his knees and taking my hand, he thanked me with tears in his eyes for the interest I had taken in bis trial. I walked along with bim towards my tent, and observed that it would be best for him to leavé and go to some other ines at once. ‘I shall leave to-night,’ he replied, ‘ but there is one thing [ should Jike to obtain from you, and that is your. Bible.’: ‘ Willingly,” I replied, much good as it has me. Ss 2 ‘and may it do you as I gave him some supper, and when he arose to go, I put the Bible in hishand. He squeez.- ed my fingers, then taking his wife’s miniature out, he forced it on me, saying, ‘keep that to remember me by,’ and was gone before I could reply. I have the miniature now. And each day when I gaze at it, a sweet emile seems to play upon the lovely countenance of that young bride, as though she thanked me for helping the partner of her bosom to escape from such an ignoble death. As for Motgan, I never heard of him after. wards. Whether he is dead or alive I cannot tell, and my object in writing this letter, was to obtain, if pgssible, some tidings of him. {Correspondence of the Mobile Daily Advertiser.] MOND SpRIN6s, El Dorado on, May 12. 1851. ivis agreat country for excitement. Not a week¢passes but some cause of it occurs, or is saidtoexist. Atone time it is the rumor of new and rich golden discoveries; at another. a horrible murder and lynching affair ; again, it is on account of some Indian marauding expe. dition, with its usual accompaniments of robbe. ry and massacre, or it is at last some terrible fire, desolating cities and enhancing value of the marketable commodiltiess throughout the country. Here weare inthe midst of these various causes of interest just at present. Ne. vada City, San Francisco and Stockton are burnt tothe ground. ‘Thousands are utterly ruined—the market vibrates under the shock, and no one can tell the various points at which prices will settle Meanwhile new dig. gings are being discovered, or old ones made more productive by some new and improved mode of washing them. One mile this side of Hangtown, or Placerville, and three miles from us,a rich lead has been discovered. It is found in the sidesof a ravine called Coon Hollow, and extends into the hills oneach side. Shalts have been sunk on both sides of the hill next to Hangtown, and the vein has been struck about twenty or thirty feet deep, and pays from fifty cents to four dollars a bucket. It is quite a curiosity 2. e.,the diggings I mean. ‘The shafis are sunk first through the upper clayey soil, then through a stratum of what iMealled rot- ten granite, and sometimes through two of these then comes a most singular deposite of quartz and rotten granite boulders, cemented together by dirt that has the appearance of mortar rub- bisb. ‘This conglomerated mass extends for some distance, say from three to fifteen feet be. low the granite strata above, and overliesa soft kind of rock called “granite” and “the red rock.” ‘The gold is very fine, and is intimate- ly mixed with this cemented mass, paying best at the red rock and diminishing as it ascends. Some shafts have paid as high as one thou. ' sand dollars per day, but the majority have on. ly just got down, and as I said pay from fifiy cents and upwards a pan. Itis the hardest digging lever saw. Picks need sharpening every day or two, and the sounds of blows in the cement and rocks are as sonorous as those of the workman’s hammer in a steam. boat boiler. After sinking a shaft, each miner then drifts the remainder of his chain, which is thirty feet square. Some, particularly those who first discovered this place, drift into the > hill from the ravine, and have gone some sixty feet. Square pillars are left at intervals, though the roof is too solid to need their support.— Whether this lead is very extensive, is not yet Correspondence of the Charleston Courier. Wasuinerton, July 1. The preparations for laying the corner | stose of the new Capitol, are in forward. | ness; and a great number of persons are expected to take part in the ceremony.— | The corner stone is to be laid on the North | East corner of the Southern extension. The military and civic display will be ve- | ry imposing. | In looking over the records of the Com. | missioners. who were appointed by Gen. | Washington, to lay out the city. and pro- vide for the erection of the pablic build- ings. I find that the corner stone of the original edifice, was laid on the 18th Sep- tember, 1793, by Gen. Washington. Pablic notice was given by the Com. missioners, of the intended ceremonial on the 3d September previous. The bretb- ren of the craft were generally invited to asssist. The public generally were invi- ted; and the Commissioners remark that the ceremony will equal the occasion, and | that numbers from all parts of the conti- nent were expected to attend. A sale of lots was mentioned as an attractive event, and drawing of a lottery also. for “ the el- egant new hotel,” only one story of which | was erected. This hotel was bought by the Government and occupied as the Gen- eral Post Office, and Patent Office, until | it was destroyed by fire. The plan of the Old Capitol was fur- nished by Dr. Thornton, Superintendent of the Patent Office. Gen. Washington approved of it on the 2d April, 1793. The plan of the President’s palace, for | such it is denominated in all the original | records, was furnished by James Hoban, of Charleston, South Carolina. Asa pre- mium for the same, he was awarded a gold medal of the value of ten guineas and the sum of two hundred dollars. Sub- sequently, he was appointed to superin- tend the construction of the palace, with a salary of three hundred guineas a year, finding himself. The mechanics and laborers employed were, as it appears from the records, chiefly redemptioners, i. e., immigrants whose time was sold to pay their passage. The work on the building was more than once obstructed for lack of funds.— The government was poor and in bad credit. General Washington, in order to prevent the abandonment of the work, us- ed his personal influence and credit to ob- tain loans from the States of Maryland and Virginia. About 250,000 dollars were thus obtained. Our people are now talking very strong- ly in favor of acquiring and annexing the Sandwich Islands, and the rich province of Sonora, and a vast region in Mexico besides, and I have little doubt that they will do it all in few years time.

The dirt in these places now has to be hauled most half a mile, to Weaver creek, to be wash. ed. AsTI intimated, too, some excitement ex ists in regard to Indian depredations. This week they have been troublesome near us.— Two men were shot ten miles above us, at Johnson's ranch. One was killed, and the oth. er dangerously gvouned. most in sight of town, a mule shot and aman robbed within a mile of us on Friday last.— Pursuit was given, but they escaped as usual.

We learn from a letter addressed by John C. McRae, Engineer, to the Greens. borough Patriot, that up to the 25th of last month, the Central Road from Golds- borough to five miles beyond Hillsboro’, had put under contract, with the excep- tion of two or three small sections. Mr. McRae thus speaks of the lettings at Pineville, Johnston,and of Dr. Watson: * On Saturday last the lettings were at Pineville, the residence of Dr. Josiah O. Watson, that whole souled railroad man 'and hospitable gentieman. He submit- ted a proposition to take at once the Bridge across Neuse and all the Road, which his neighbors did not wish to take, from that river to the Wayne line; and by way of showing his confidence in, and liberality towards the Road, he proposed to take it ajl in stock. This is the gen- tleman who first proposed that he would be one of a hundred to build the Road.— Indeed, a half dozen such noble spirits could do it.” We have no doubt that by the 11th the whole Road will bave been put under contract.— Raleigh Standard.

A SOUND PRINCIPLE. “ All intermediate agencies in trade add to its expense.” —Charleston Mercury. This is the very foundation of the doctrine of protection to domestic industry. It is the principle which Mr. Henry C. Garey has heea endeavoring to enforce by his writings in * The Plough, the Loom, and Anvil.” Bring the manufacturer, he says, alongside of the cotton. field and of the shepherd, so that there will be no occasion to transport the raw material to a distant place to be worked up inte cloth, which has then to be transported back again to be consumed. Again, he says, establish forges where you have iron and coal, and pro. visions in abundance, instead of sending your provisions three thousand miles off, and then have them brought back in the form of iron, the difference between them to be made up in gold and silver. ‘The true rule for a nation to prosper by is, to make all it can, and to bring the consumer as closely in contact with the producer as possible, so as to save the cost of transportation, commissions, profits, &c,: ia other words, save the necessity of employing persons in making the exchanges of labor, who add nothing to the value of any article exchang. ed, but only increase their cost.

It is true, they add that, to justify this abrogation of a law, it | must be palpably contrary to the constitution ; but it is evident, that to give the right of resist. | ing laws of that description, coupled with the uncontrolled right to decide what laws deserves | that character, 1s to give the power of resist. ing all laws. For, as by the theory, there is pu appeal, the reasons alleged by the stale, | good or bad, must prevail. If it should be said | that public opinion isa sufficient check against the abuse of this power, it may be asked why is it not deemed a suffivient guard against the | passage of an unconstitutional act by Congress. | "Phere is, however, a restraint in this last case, | which makesf}be assumed power of a state more indefensp'e, and which does not existin the other. ‘bere are two appeals from an un- constitutional act passed by Congress—one lo the judiciary, the other to the people and the states. There is no appeal from the state de- cision in theory, and practical iilustration shows that the courts are closed against an applica. tion to review il, both judges and jurors being sworn to decide inits favor. But reasoning on this subject is superfluous when our social com. pact in express terms declares, the laws of the United States, its constitution andtreaties made vader it, are the supreme law of the land—and for greater caution adds, ‘ that the judges in ev. | ery state shall be bound thereby, anything in the constitution or laws of any stale lo the conirary notwithstanding.’ And it may be as- serted without fear of refutation, that no feder- ative goveerniment could exist without a simi- lar provision.

[tis no answer to repeal, that an unconstitutional law is a0 law, a0 long as tep question of its legality is to be decided by the state itself; forevery law oper- ating injuriously upon any local interest will be perhaps thought, and certainly represented as unconstitutional, and, as has been shown, there is no appeal. If this doctrine had been established at an earlier day the Union would have been dissolv- ed in its infancy. The excise law in Pennsyl- vania, the embargo and non entercourse law in the eastern siaies, the carriage tax in Virginia, were all deemed unconstitutional, and were more unequal in their operation than any of the Jaws now complained of; but fortunately none of those states discovered that they had the right now claimed by South Carolina, The war into which we were forced, to support the dignity of the nation and the rights of our citi- zens, might have ended in defeat and disgrace, instead of victory and honor, if the states who supposed it a ruinous and unconstitutiona! meas. ure bad thought they possessed the right of nul- lifying the act by which it was declared, and denying supplies for its prosecution. Hardly and unequally as those measures bore upon se- veral members of the Union, to the legislatures of none did this efficient and peaceable reme- dy, as it is called, suggest itself. ‘The discov- ery of this important feature in our constitution was reserved fur the present day. To the statesmen of South Carolina belongs the in- vention, and upon the citizens of that state will unfurtunately (all the evils of reducing it to prac. tice. If the doctrine of a state veto upon the laws of the Union carries with it internal evidence of its impracticable absurdily, our constitution. al history wil] also affurd abundant proof that it would have been repudiated with indignation had it been proposed to form a feature in our government. In our colonial state although dependent on another power, we very early considered our. selves as connected by common interest with each other. Leagues were formed for com. mon defence, and before the Declaration of In. dependence we were known, in our aggregate chasacter, as THE UntreD CoLonigs oF AMER- ica. ‘That decisive and important siep was taken jointly. We declared ourselves a nation by a joint not by several acts, and when the terms of our confederation were reduced to form, it was in that of a solemn league of se. veral states, hy which they agreed that they would collectively form one nation for the pur. pose of conducting some certain domestic con. cerns and ail foreign relations. In the instru. ment forming that union is found an article which declares that “ every state shall abide by the determination of Congress, on all questions whieh by that confederation should be submit. ted to them.” Under she confederation, then, no state could legally annul a decision of the Congress, or | refuse to submit to its execution ; but no pro. | vision was made to enforce these decisions.— Congress inade requisitions, but they were not complied with. ‘The government could not operate on individuals. They bad no judicia. ry, no means of collecting revenue. “ But the delects of the confederation need not be detailed. Under its operation we cou'd scarcely be called a nation. We had neither prosperity at home nor consideration abroad. This state of things could not be endured, and our present happy constitution was formed, but | formed in vain if this fatal doctrine prevails.— | It was formed for important objects that are an. | nounced in the preamble, made in the name and by the authority of the people of the Uni. | ted States, whose deleguies framed, and whose conventions approved it. ‘The most important amiong these objects, that which is placed first in rank. on which all the others rest, is, ‘to a more perfect Union.’ Now is it possi. that even if there were no express provis. ions giving supremary to the constitution dnd laws of the United States over those of the @ates—can it be conceived that an instrument made for the purpose of * forming @ more per. feet Union’ than that of the confederation, could be so construcied hy the assembled wisdom of our country as to substitute for that confedera- tien a form of government dependent for its ex- istence on the local ipteres', the party spirit of a siaté, or of a prevailing faction in a state 1— Every.man of plain @sophisticated understand. ing, who hears the question, will give such.an answer es will preserve the Union. Meta- % ° physical gubleiy, jn pursuit of an idipracticable theory,-could alne have devised one that is ‘calculated to desiroy it. 1 consider, then, the power to annul 2 law of the United States, assumed by one state, #7; with the existence of the Union, con- tradicted expressly by the letter of the constitu. tion, enauthorized by its spirit. inconsistent with every principle on which it was founded, and destructive of the great object for which tt was formed. . » The next objection is, that the laws in ques- tion operate unequally. This objection may be made with truth to every law that has been or can be passed. The wisdom of man never yet contrived a system of taxation that would If the une- qual operation of a law makes it unconstitution- al, and if atl laws of that description may be abrogated by any state for that cause, then in- deed is the federal constitution unworthy of the stigbtest effort for its preservation. We have hitherto relied on it asthe perpetual bond of our Union. We have received it as the work of the assembled wisdom of the nation. We | have trusted to it as the sheet.anchor of our safety in the stormy times of the conflict with a foreign or domestic foe. We have looked to it with sacred awe as the palladium of our lib. erties, and with all the solemnities of religion “have pledged to each other our hopes of happi- ness hereafter, in its defence and were we mis- taken, my countrymen, in attaching this impor. tance to the constitution of our country? Was our devotion paid to the wretched, inefficient, clumsy contrivance which this new doctrine would make it? Did we pledge ourselves to the support of an airy nothing, a bubble that must be blown away by the first breath of dis- affection? Was this self-destroying, visionary theory, the work of the profound statesman, the exalted patriots, to whom the task of consti- tutional reform was intrusted? Did the name of Washington sanction, did the states deliber. ately ratify such an anomaly in the histery of No. We were not mistaken. ‘The letter of this great instrument is free from this radical fault; its language di- rectly contradicts the imputation ; its spirit— its evident intent contradicts it. No, we do not err! Our constitution does not contain the absurdity of giving the power to make laws, and another power to resist them. ‘The sages whose memory will always be reverenced have given us a practical, and, as they hoped, a per- manent constitutional compact. ‘The father of his country did not affix his revered name to so palpaple an absurdity. Nor did the states, when they severally ratified it, do so under the impression that a veto on the laws of the Uni- ted States was reserved to them, or that they could exercise it by application. Search the debates in all their conventions—examine the speeches of the most zealous opposers of feder- al authority—look at the amendments that were proposed; they are silent—not a sylable utter. ed, not a vole given, not a motion made to cor- rect the explicit supremacy given to the laws of the Union over those of the states, or to show that implication, as is now contended, could de. feat it. No, we have not erred! ‘The conati- tution is still the object of our reverence, the bond of our Union, our defence in danger, the source of our prosperity in peace. It shall de. scend, as we have received#il, uncorrupted by sophistical construction, to our posterity ; and the sacrifices of lucal interest, of state preju- dices, of personal animosities, that were made to bring it into existence, will again be patriot- ically offered for its support. ‘he two remaining objections made by the ordinance to these laws are, that the sums in- tended to be rafsed by them are greater than are required, and that the proceeds will be con- stitutionally employed. The constitution has given expressly to Con- gress the right of raising revenue and oi deter. mining the sum the public exigencies will re. quire. ‘The states have no control over the exercise of this right, other than that which re. sults from the power of changing the represent. atives who abuse it; and thus procure redress. Congress may undoubtedly abuse this discre. tionary power, but the same may be said of others with which they are vested. Yet the discretion must exist somewhere, ‘he consti. tution has given it to the representatives of all the people, checked by the representatives of the states and by the executive power. The S. Carolina construction gives it to the legis. lature or the convention of a single state, where neither the people of the different states in their separate capacity, nor the chief magistrate elec- ted by the people, have any representation. I do not ask you felluw citizens, which is the con. stitutional disposition—that instrument speaks a language not to be misunderstood. But if this discretionary power io the last resort 7— Would you add a clause giving to each of the states, or would you sanction the wise provis- ions already made by your constitution? If this should be the result of your deliberations when providing for the future, are you—can you—be ready to risk all that we hoid dear, to establish, fur a temporary and local purpose, that which vou must acknowledge to be de- structive, and even absurd, as a general pro- vision? Carry out the consequences of tvis right vested in the different states, and you must perceive that the crisis your conduct pre- sents at this day would recur whenever any law of the United States displeased any of the states, and that we should soan cease to be a nation. ‘‘ These are the allegations contained in the ordin- ance. Examine them seriously, ny fellow citizens,— judge for yourselves. I appeal to you to determine whether they are so clear, so convincing, as to leave no doubt of their correctness ; and even if you should come to this conclusion, how far they justify the reckless, de structive course, which you are directed to pursue.— Review these objections, and the conclusions drawn frem them, once more. What are they? Every law, then for raising revenue, according to the South Carolina or- dinance, may be rightfully annulled, unless it be so fram- ed as no law ever will orcan be framed. Congress have a right = he laws hee raising revenue, and each state has rig oppose their execution—two rights directly op- posed to each other—and yet is this Seeeaty pape to be contained in an instrumant drawn for the express purpose of avoiding collisions between the States and era oi by an assembly of the most en- li ned statesmen and purest patriots ever embodied for a similar purpose. “In vain have these sages declared that Congress shal] have power to lay and collect taxes, duties, im- posts, and excises; in vain have they provided that they shall have power to pass laws which shall be necessary and proper to carry those powers into execution ; that those laws and that constitation shall be the “‘ supreme law of the land, and that the judges in every state shall be bound thereby, any thing in the constitution or laws of any state to the contrary notwithstanding.” In vain heve the people of the several states solemaly sanction- ed these provisions, made them their paramount law, and individually sworn to support them whenever they were called on to execute any office. Vain provision! ineffectual restrictions! vile profannation of oaths! mis- erable mockery of legislation! if a baré majority of the voters in any one state may, on a-real or supposed knowledge of the intent in which a law has been pass- ed, declare themeelves free from its operations; say here it gives too litiJe, there too much, and un- equalty—here it suffers articles to be free that ought to Sei pe truecraicett ose which we do not approve—in that, the amount Congress is. composed of repre- sentatives of all the states, and of the people of all'the states; but we, part of the people of one state, to whom the constitution has given no power on the sub- ject, from whong it is expressly taken away—we, who have solemnly agreed that this constitution shall be our law—wi most of whom have sworn to support it, wE now this law and swear, and force others to swear, that it shall not be obeyed. And we do this, not because Congress have no right to pass such laws—this we do not allége—but because they have passed them with improper views. They are unconstitutional from the motives of those who passed them, which we can never with certainty know—from their unequal opera- tion, although it is impossible, from the nature of things, that they should be equal—and from the disposition which we presume may be made of their proceeds, al- though that disposition has not been declared. This is the plain meaning of the ordinance in relation to laws which it abrogates for alleged unconstitutionality. But it does not stop there. ‘I@repeals, in express terms, an important part of the ¢onstitution itself, and of laws passed to give it effect, which have never been alleged to be unconstitutional. The constitution declares that the judicial powers of the United States extend to cases arising under the laws of the United States, and that such laws, the constitution and treaties, shall be para- mount to the state constitutions andlaws. The judicia- ry act prescribes the mode by which the case may be brought before a court of the United States, by appeal, | when a state tribunal shall decide against this provision of the constitution. The ordinance declares there shalt be no appeal, makes the state law paramount to the con- stitution and laws of the United States, forces judges and jurors to swear that they will disregard their provi- sions, and even makes it penal ina suitor to at- tempt relief by appeal. It farther declares that it shall not be lawful for the authorities of the United States or of that state, to enforce the gfyment of duties imposed by the revenue laws within its limits. Here is a Jaw of the United States, not even pre- tended to be unconstitutional, repealed by the authority of a small majority of the voters of a single state.— Here is a provision of constitution which is solemnly abrogated by the same authority. On such expositions and reasonings, the ordinance grounds not only an assertion of the right to annul the laws of which it complains, but to enforce it by a threat of seceding from the union if any attempt is made to | execute them. This right to secede is deduced from the nature of the constitution, which they say is a comnpact between sov- ereign states who have preserved their whole sovereign- ty, and therefore are subject to no superior; that be- cause they made the compact, they can break it, when in their opinion it has been departed from by the other states. Fallacious as this course of reasoning is, it en- lists state pride, and finds advocates in the honest preju- | dices of those who have not studied the nature of our government sufficiently to see the radical error on which it rests. “ Because the Union was formed by compact, it is said the parties to that compact may, when they feel themselves aggrieved, depart from it; but it is precise- ly because it is a compact that they cannot. A com- pact is an agreement or binding obligation. It may by its terms have a sanction or penalty for its breach, or it may not. If it contains no sanction, it may be broken with no other consequence that moral guilt ; if it have a sanction, then the breach incurs the designated or im- plied penalty. The states severally have not retained their entire sovereignty. of a nation not a member of a league. they surrendered many of their essential parts of sovereignty. The right to make treaties, declare war, levy taxes, exercise ex- clusive judicial and legislative power, were all of them functions opercnee power. The states, then, for all these important purposes, were no longer sovereign.— The allegiance of their citizens was transferred in the first instance to the government of the United States; they became American citizens, and owed obedience to the Constitution of the United States, and to laws made in conformity with the powers it vested in Congress.— This last position has not been, and cannot be denied. How then can that state be said to be sovereign and in- dependent whose citizens owe obedience to laws not made by it, and whose magistrates are sworn to disre- gard those laws, when they come in conflict with those passed by another? What shows conclusively that the states cannot be said to have reserved an undivided sov- ereignty, is that they expressly ceded the right to punish treason, not treason against their separate power, but treason against the United States. Treasonis an offence against sovereignty, and sovereignty must reside with the power to punish it. ‘© So obvious are the reasons which forbid this seces- sion, that it is necessary only to allude to them. The union was formed for the benefit of all. It was produced by mutual sacrifices of interests and opinions. Can those sacrifices be recalled? Can the states who mag- nanimously surrendered their title to the territories of | the west, recall the grant? Will the inhabitants of the inland states agree to pay the duties that may be imposed without their assent by those on the Atlantic or the Gulf, for their own benefit? Shall there be a free port in one state and onerous duties in another? No one believes that any right exists in a single state to in- volve all the others in these and countless other evils contrary to the engagements made. Every one must see that the other states, in self-defence, must oppose it at all hazards. “ This, then, is the position in which we stand. A small majority of the citizens of one state in the Union have elected delegates to a state convention; that con- vention has ordained that all the revenue laws of the | United States must be repealed, or that they are no longer a member of the Union. The governor of that state has recommended to the legislature the raising of an army to carry the secession into effect, and that he may be empowered to give clearances to vessels in the name of the State. No act of violent opposition to the laws has yet been committed, but such a state of things is hourly apprehended, and it is the intent of this instru- ; . | ment to procLatM not only that the duty imposed on me you were assembled in general convention, | which would you think the safest depository of | by the constitution “to take care that the laws be faith- fully executed,” shall be performed to the extent of the powers already vested in me by law, or of such others as the wisdom of Congress shall devise and entrust to me for that purpose ; but to warn thg citizens of South Carolina, who have been deluded int6 an opposition to the laws, of the danger they will incur by obedience to the illegal and disorganizing ordinance of the convention —to exhort those who have refused to support it to per- severe in their determination to uphold the constitution and the laws of their country—and to point out to all, the perilous situation into which the good people of that state have been led,—and that the course they are urged to pursue is one of ruin and disgrace to the very state whose rights they affect to support. ‘‘ Fellow citizens! The momentous case is before you. On your undivided support of your government depends the decision of the great question it involves, whether your sacred Union will be preserved, and the blessing it secures to us as one people shall be perpetua- ted. No one can doubt that the unanimity with which ing to their defence, will transmit them unimpaired and invigorated to our children. May the great Ruler of nations grant that the signal blessings with which He has favored ours, may not by the madness of party of personal ambition be disregard- ed and lost: and may his wise Providence bring those who have produced this crisis, to see their folly before they feel the mery of civil str:fe : and inspire a returning veneration for that Union which, if we may dare to penetrate his designs, he has chosen as the only means. of attaining the high destinies to which we may reason-: ably aspire.

MEETING OF STOCK.HOLDERS. | The stock-holders of the N. C. Railroad | Company having assembled in the Presbyterian Church, at, 10 o’clock on ‘Thursday, the 10th., ‘the meeting was called to order by Dr. F. J. | Hill, of Brunswick, and on his motion, the Hon. | Cavin Graves, of Caswell, was called to pre- | side over the meeting, On assuming the chair Mr. Graves made a lew pertinent remarks, calculated to produce a epirit of harmony in the important deliberations then commencing. On motion of Mr. Gilmer, Dr. Strupwick, of Hillsboro’ and C. L. Banner, Esq., of Salem, were appointed Secretaries of the meeting. A committee of three, viz: John A. Gilmer, F. J. Hill, and Wm*C. Means, was then ap. pointed to examine and report upon the state of the stock and what portions were represent. ed in the present meeting in person and by proxy. Afiera necessarily tedious investiga. tion they reported 8,319 shares of stock repre- sented—4,871 in person and 3,448 by proxy, and upwards of one hundred stockholders in personal attendance, On motion of Mr. Mebane, of Orange, it was resolved, that hereafter at any Annual Meeting the stock-holders shall report themselves and their proxies to the Secretary and Treaeurer of | the Board before the hour of meeting, in order | that that officer may report to the meeting with- | out delay. The President of the Company, J. M. More. HEAD, was then called upon fur bis Report, /which he submited in writing, recapitulating the successive steps of progress in the work, and referring totabular statements showing the expedenture already made, the detailed esti- mates of the work, estimates the amount of work that can be done entirely with North Car- olina material, a list of engineers, &c. It ap- pears that there has been so far expended the sum of a little over $28,000 only, for salaries, surveys, and every thing else on the -route— leaving a balance of over $21,000 of money in the treasury unexpended. ‘The Report and ac. | companying papers were received and ordered to be printed with the minutes; we shall not, | therefore, undertake to compress the valuable { information therein contained into our limited | space this week. Mr. Jones, of Rowan, introduced a resolution | | which was adopted, to go into the election of | | Directors. and that suitable names be proposed | by the stockholders in specified districts, ac- | | cording to the plan adopted at the first Annual | Meeting, in Salisbury. Mr. Mordecai, of Raleigh, introduced a res. olution which was amended by Mr. Gilmer, and as amended read as follows : Resolved, That.no person whois now or | | | | | may be hereafier a contractor, directly or indi- under this corporation, can, without a violation qualify himself to act legally as such. An animated and able debate arose on this | resolution—Messrs. Mordecai, D. L. Swain, support, and Judge Ellis, Gen. Leach aud Rev. T. McDonald in opposition. any commissioner or director on any public | work to become a contractor thereon ; and Gov. | | . . . . | which makes it an indictable misdemeanor for | ities to show that a contract Made in disobedi- "ence to the law is thereby vitiated. It was in- | sisted onthe other hand that the stockholders of the Road, including of course those who ) | understanding that they should have the privil- ege of working out their shares, and that the di- rectors were in every way placed on an equal footing with other stockholders as regards con. tracts—all ruled alike to the Engineer’s esti- mates. But no decided opinion against the ap- plication of the law, as contemplated by the resolution, was expressed ; and the resolution was finally laid on the table until to-morrow morning, order to give the stockholders time to consider of it more deliberately. Dr. Williamson, of Caswell, brought to the notice of the meeting the pragramme of proceed ings for to-morrow (the 11th) on the occason of “breaking ground” on the Railroad.

DAVIDSON COLLEGE---THE SCHOLARSHIP PLAN. —— Mr. Eprror—As this is the plan adopted by the Trustees of Davidson College for the purpose of fully endowing and greatly enlarging the Institution, no one can be injured, and some may be benefitted by having ‘‘ line upon Kine, and precept upon precept,” illustrating the excellencies, and setting forth the advantages of this system. There are two things that are essentially necessary to the growth and prosperity of any, and of every insti- tution of learning. It is necessary first, that such insti- tations should be fully endowed. It matters not how favorably a College may be located, ¥ she has not the means to command the services of a learned and able body of instructors, she cannot reasonably expect long to prosper. ‘There sre so many theatres in this favored country on which men of high literary attainments and | great weight of character can act well their parts, and at the same time secure an ample reward for their ser- vices, that unless Colleges are well endowed they can- not command the se:vices of such men, as would give character and popularity to the institutions with which | they are connected The full endowment of a College is therefore of the first importance. The second thing essential to the prosperity of a Col- lege, is the students. A College may be well endowed, it may be rich in dollars and cents, it may have an ex- tensive apparatus, a large and well selected library ; it may have a learned and able faculty who are capable of giving the best instruction in their respective depart- ments, and yet, if such an institution has not the stu- dents to instruct, it is not, it cannot be in a prosperous condition. An encouraging number of students is there- fore essential to the prosperity of any, of every College. | The great beauty, and tMe striking excellency of the Scholarship Plan is, that it secures in a high degree both | of these things, that are essential to the prosperity, yea, | even the very existence of literary institutions. In the first place, it secures the full endowment of the College ; and unless this is done there is no obligation binding upon those who have taken hold of the plan, and the whole system falls to the ground. In the second place, it brings the students. The na- tural tendency of the system is to draw students to the institution where it has been adopted, and this has been uniformly the result wherever the plan has been carried into successful operation. In some institutions under the operation of this system, the students have increas- ed three, four, and even five fold. And while the Scholarship Plan endows the College and secures the students, it confers a lasting benefit up- on the community that extends a helping hand, to lay broad and deep the foundations of an institution of Jearn- ing and piety, which is destined to stand for generations to come as a column of light and a monument of liberty. It would seem hard to start an objection to a system that is fraught with 80 many advantages to the College and the communty. a Herculean task from the character of the objections that are raised against it. There are some who seem to think that becayse the manual labor system proved a | failure, this must. ‘The ditfereuce between the two sys- tems is almost as wide as the distance between the poles. In the manual labor system there was no provision made for an endowment of the College adopting it. The en- dowment of the institution was an after thought in that system. ‘There was no feature in that plan of an at- | tractive or drawing tendency so far as students were concerned. In fact, the tendency was repulsive, it tend- ed to drive away students. In the manual labor system was an effort to fourm an unnatural connection, to link together things that cannot be brought into harmonious union. When the manual labor system failed which neither endowed the College nor secured the students failed, I do not see how it follows as a necessary conse- quence that a system that does both must also fail. But some object on the ground, that under the ope- ration of the scholarship plan, the College will be too much crowded with students. In answer, it would be | sufficient to say that the students are not in the country. If every student within the limits chat naturally and | properly belong to this institution were in College to-day, there would not be too many. The College would not be crowded. exertions, the system will succeed. And I feel satisfied that one-third of the scholarships is as many as will ev- er be represented at the same time. Leaving it discre- tionary with the subscriber to select his own time, and permitting him to enjoy his privileges at different inter- vals is, and will be e sufficient safe-guard to prevent the College from being too much crowded. ‘Those who are eye-witnesses of the practical operation of the system in institutions where it has been adopted, are united and cordial in recommending it, and I do not think that any weapon that is formed against it can prevail. Yours truly, W. WP: The Charlotte papers will please copy. Fur the Watchman. THE BLIND GIRL TO HER BIBLE. ‘‘ She raised the precious volume and kissed it, felt the impression of the letters, and from that time read with her lips.” —Sunday School Visiter. O sacred Book, how dear thou art! How precious to my youthful heart! Blind as I am, how could I live Without the hopes thy pages give? I once could see and loved the light, And more the brightness of the night ; But now I know not night from dawn, My eye sight is forever gone. I wept not when the truth I knew, My heart at once strong man-like grew. I thought without a single tear Of every thing to me most dear ; I knew the flow’rs would bloom and die Unnoticed by my darkened eye ; And that the stars would still shine on, And bright would break the summer’s morn ; And yet the fount of tears seemed dry, No “heart dew” cooled my burning eye, But mournfully while others slept, I thought of all, yet never wept. I could not weep, for hope was gone, Submission in my heart was born ; And I could silent stand and hear My Mother’s voice fall on my ear, And know I'd never see her smile Fondly tho’ sadly on her child ; And even calmly I could dare To hear my Father’s voice in prayer, And only sighed his face to see, When fervently he prayed for me. Yet, when dear book, they brought me thee, Made for all those who could not see, And bade me hope, I yet, should read, And with my hand my mind should lead ; And when those hands they kindly placed So every letter might be traced, Oh agony ! to feel that when My hopes were brightest, even then, Dispair should o’er my spirit steal, My callous fingers could not feel ! Yet e’en as darkness darker seems An hour before the morning beams, So on my dark and gloomy night Was soon to dawn a morrow bright. For in my grief I wildly grasped And to my heart thy pages clasped, I kissed them o’er and o’er again, Until my mind and heart and brain I felt with untold rapture reel For I could read, my lips could FEEL. Ah, then I wept, those joyful tears Full recompense for toyless years, Forgotten was each gloomy day, The clouds of grief were rolled away. My heart o’erflowed with grateful love, And soared in praise to God above ; And ever while thy words they press, My lips that God of love shall bless. | July 12, 1851. | Last Notice.

Coffman, Pastor of the Lutheran Congregation in | Salisbury, aged 21 years. Her illness was chronic and protracted in its nature ; ' during which she occasionally expressed the belief of her approaching dissolution, and of her readiness to obey the summons of God whenever it should come. A short | time previous to her expiring moments, she requested to | see her infant, and embracing it tenderly, committed it to the care of her distressed husband, and requested him to bring it up in the nurture and admonition of the Lord. She then asked for a drink of water; after which she folded her hands across her breast, and looking at her | weeping friends said, ‘I bid you all farewell ;” and ina ) few minutes her gentle spirit took its flight and return- | ed to Him who gave it. | Thus died a young and lovely lady, leaving a fond _ husband, brothers, sisters, and a large circle of friends | to experience a painful void. May God in mercy look | down upon and sustain them in this their day of afflic- | tion, and by his Holy Spirit lead them to trust in the | name of Him who died and rose again, and now sitteth at the right hand of God the Father. Mrs. Coffman had been married but little less than a year. Heavy, indeed must be the gloom which weighs upon the spirit of her bereaved husband. To the conso- lation which he finds in believing that the soul of his | late companion is happy with the blessed Redeemer, let | there be added the sympathy of his brothers in Christ.

This Land is valuable not only on account of the fer- tility and productiveness of the soil, being well adapted to the culture of Corn, Wheat, Cotton, Tobacco, &c., but also on account of the excellent FISHERY attach- ed to it at the Narrows, where a great number of Shad may be annually caught, and the Water Power afford- ed by the fall in the River at this place, which enter- prise and capital could make useful and profitable by the erection of Mills and Machinery of every descrip- tion, to any extent that might be desired.

PATRICK SPRINGS, REAT IMPROVEMENT HAS BEEN MADE at this place since last season, and by the 4th of July the proprietor will be able to take in any and all persons who may see proper to patronize the place, ei- ther by way of boarding, or renting good Cabins to those who may prefer boarding themselves— good veg- etables supplied in the neighborhood plentiful and cheap. These Springs are situated in Patrick county, Va., seven miles northeast of the court house, between No- business and Bull mountains, one of the healthiest pla- ces in the known world, and the mguntain scenery pos- sessing the romantic features which every where char- acterize the vicinity of the Biue Ridge. There are two or three Mineral Springs near each other lately discov- ered, one of which is a very bold running fountain, and several other fine cool freestone springs. The Mineral Water at this place is doubtless as good Chalybeate Water as this or any other State affords.— It is specially recommended by physicians for the vari- ous diseases peculiar to females. Terms of Boarding for man and horse, per week, $7 50. For Boarding and Lodging, per week, 85 00. In boarding by the month a deduction of @1 per week will be made. The rent of Cabins, to those who board themselves, will range from $3 to $3 50 per week, agreeable to the quality of the cabins ; but none can be rented for a shorter time than four weeks until after the 20th of August.

A ee i oT ee Oe ae ee , - +4 » =a TO MY COUSIN SALLIE. fy son Dear one ’tis « beauteous.even, The sa are shooting the breeze, Till it seems thatthe plomage of heaven, ” Had fallen and lodged in the trees. Dear Sallie, or else dear Sulinda, (Sound doeth when rhyme is at lack,) - The curtain that flows at ny window Is whipping the rude breezes back. I haveno wild ideas to storm you, . No flashes of thought to reveal, I only intend to inform you That I still am a guest of Mobile. Ere long in a skiff I'l! be sailing The Mexican gulf-stream below, Where the sea-shells are mournfully wailing Wild legends of Indian woe. Oh sweet was your trip up the river, That beantiful voyage at night, When the moon from her silvery quiver Shot down her long arrows of light. Tho’ new charms ard new friendships have bound thee With magic that seemeth of years, The shadofis of home fall around thee, And y diseulveth its tears. But some sunny hope comes to ferry Thy soul when elysium disqoses, And thy moments skip over as merry - As fairies to windharps mid roses. Ob have you no favorite magnolia Where you weave your sweet rev’ries to song, And gather from mem’ry’s portfolio Old jewels fofgotten too long. I hope that you have not been thinking That “ Julia or letters are lazy ,” By lamplight iny eyes have been winking Till my sight seems inverted and crazy. « Wild shrubs of the South ” is now finished, Next autumn it goeth to press, * But I should have curtailed and diminished, And error had blotted the less ; Should have guided with critical bridle— For reazon to fancy is sire— What once seemed a Spiritual idol, Should have perished as flesh in the fire. 1 hope you will welcome this letter As a sound and a shadow of me, Perchance I may pen you a better When dowg on the Mexican sea. THE GOOD OLD PLOUH. Let them sigg who may of the battle fray, And the deeds that have long since passed ; Let them chant in preise of the tar whose days Are spent on the ocean vast. 1 wou!d render to tHese all the worship you please, I would honor them even now ; But I'd give far more from my heart’s full store To the cause of the Good Old Plough. Let them*laud the notes that in music float, Through the bright and glittering halls ; While the amorous twirl of the hair's bright curl, Round the shuulder of beauty falls: But dearer to me is the song of the tree, And the rich and the blossoining bough, O, these are the sweets, which the rustic greets As he follows the Good Old Plough. Pull many there be that we daily see, ‘With a selfish and hollow pride, Why the ploughman’s lot, in his humble cot, With a scornful look deride; But I'd rather take, aye, a hearty shake, From his hand than to wealth I’d bow; For the honest grasp of his hand's rough clasp, Has stood by the Good Old Plough. All honor be then to these gray old men, When at last they are bowed with toil ; Their warfare then o’er, they battle no more, For they’ve conquered the stubborn soil ; And his chaplet each wears, is his silver hairs ; And e’er shall the victor’s brow, With 2 laurel crown to the grave go down Like the sons of the Good Old Plough. AN APRIL FOOL. BY THE DUKE. Tt. was on the evening of the last day of March, 1850, that two young men were seated in a comfortable apartment in the hotel, Boston, with a bottle of champaigne before them, and segars in their mouths. ‘To-morrow is the first of April,’ spoke out Bob P., at length. * Yes,’ was the reply of bis companien, whose name was Bill Hi. * ‘You know old Kingsley, that old wag of a dentist on Street?’ continned Bob. * Certainly, was the reply. * Well, one year ago, to-morrow he came a deuce of a game on me.” *Did he? * Yes; and to-morrow I] mean to be up to him for that same trick.’ *How? * You see this tooth here?” he replied, as he stretched open his mouth to the view of the other. * Well. it.is a false one, and to-morrow |'l] goto him with my face bun- dled up and tell him I have got a decayed teoth which I want extracted and have him pu!] out this false one.’ *Ha, ba, ha, borst out Bill, ‘that will indeed be a good joke.’ So it was arranged that Bill should hap- pen into the office of Kingsley the next morning at nine o'clock that he might see the sport, and that Bob should arrive ina short time, ready for the operation. They then took their departure from the hotel, each taking the nearest course for his lodgings. , > “Good morning, Mr. Kingsley,’ was the galotation of Bil] H. the next morning after the conversation alluded to above, as he entered thai individual's office. « * Good morning, take a seat,’ was the re- *I was passing by,’ continued Bill ‘an thought | would give you a short when the door opened, and Bob made his His@face and neck were doné up in sundry neckcloths, he threw appearance. Simself into a chair, an exclained— Bob painted to the false one. The doctor, who was fifty years old, and wore specicales, gave a look at the tooth, and seeing it was sound, could not at first | conceive what should cause it to ache, and | was about to speak, when athooght struck him. {t was the firstof April! Hegave. another look at the tooth, and immediate- | ly perceived that it was a talse one, and | that a trick was being practised upon him. ‘ Now hold still and be perfectly quiet.’ . said the doctor. ‘| will,’ was the reply.; ‘but be as quick as possible.’ - The doctor took his instroment.and clap- ping it upon the tooth next the false one, which wa8 a large double tooth, perfectly ' sound, he gave one tremendous jerk, and | it was out! | With a yell of agony, Bob sprung to his feet and screamed out— ‘Murder! doctor, you've pulled the wrong tooth ‘O, no,’ quietly replied the doctor wiping | his instruments, ‘the one you told me to extract I pulled out some ten months ago, and | thought you wouldn’t want one tooth to go through the same painful operation | twice !’ Bob seized his hat and sloped, and from | that day he has*had a natural horror of | Dr. Kingsley. NATIVE FRUITS. There are many good fruits through the South that are “ born to blush unseen, and waste their sweetness on the desert air,” withou the fostering care of the horticultur- ist. Itis generally admitted that thescup- pernong grape is the child of the musca. dine. How it was hybridized to change the color of the skin, and improve its aro- ma, we do not know, but in all its habits | it is precisely like the muscadine ; and seed planted from it produces the blackest kind of muscadines. There is a grape abounding all over the Southern States, by many called the summer grape. It grows in any kind of soil, and like the muscadine, runs hundreds of feet, and bears fruit from the bottom to the top.— There are two vines of grapes in this vi- cinity growing wild, and running over im. | mense trees, thatin their habits are like the summer grape, with bunches formed like it. Yet one is a white grape with a most delicious pulp, unsurpassed by any in cultivation, the other black, but equally as good ; the summer grape is unpalata. | ble fruit, and yet, we doubt not, by some freak of nature, bas produced both these varieties, and hope to be able to give a> good account of them. Who knows but one may turnouta * Diana.” and the oth- | er an “ Isabella?” We should preserve our natives, and experiment with them.— The wild does not grow easily from cut- tings; it may be grafted or layered, which is to cover the limbs with the earth for a few inches, and they readily strike root. There is one delicious fruit common all over the South, growing wild in old fields, on hill sides and around ditches, which if it took the green house to perfect, would figure largely at the dessert of the wealthy; but as they spontaneously come forth. they are left as worthless to man. We speak of the May pop, a fruit superior to the pomgranate, and we verily believe equal to the best Cuba orange. There are other fruits neglected because they are socommon. Who ever eat a fully ripe persimmon, that did not consider it equal to the best of plums, and yet the persim- mon tree is suffered to grow wild, with- out any attempt to improve its qualities by culture; and France, England andthe Northarn States supply us with plum trees, which are too often cultivated, but for the breeding of curculies. Let us im. prove the fruits adapted to our own soil and climate first, and then acclimate oth- ers. The persimmon is the true Ameri- can date, and might be made a source of luxary and profit.—Soil of the South. Important to Plunters.—A gentleman in Alabama has invented a machine, he has had in successfui operation fortwo months; and which he alleged will plant and cultivate cotton with about one fourth the usual labor to a man and horse, and which does the work much better than the usual way. _It lavs off the rows, two at a time, the ridges being made in the usual way. The | machine then opens the drill, drops the seed, and covers the same in two drills at the same operation, doing the work of seven or eight hands and four horses. It then harrows and scrapes both sides of | two drills, and then chops ont at the rate. of twodrills at atime, It then bars the same, and cultivates, entirely breaking | and stirring the ground the width of two rows at a time, superseding nearly all the | necessity of scraping and hoeing through the season, Xe. as The machine is worked with one horse, | and only one person is necessary to man.- | ste it—and is very simple in its construc- jon.

The South Eagle Tract is adjoining the Eagle,on both of which is a splendid water power of great force. I have a beautiful piece of Land in the South Eagle Tract which I propose to lay off in small lots of one fourth of an acre each, for the ac- commodation of Merchants, Doctors, and Mechanics. | All such persons would do well to give this rising place due attention. “ There is a tide in the affairs of men | Which, taken at its flood, Leads on to” happiness and wealth. | Here isa chance. Capitalists would also do well to | look this way. Ineeda little help to carry on more suc- cessfully, the enterprises in which I am engaged and on which I propose to enter. I am steadily progressing, however, though slowly, with my original schemes, to wit: the erection of Factories for spinning cotton and | wool, and for calico priming. But as I advance the | prospect opens up, and invites to ldrger and more fruitful | fields. This location for manufacturing purposes and for | a Town, is very favorable.

Take advantage of modern facilities, and | accomplish as much in a single day as_ requir. ed weeks, months, or years, formerly. Don’t depend upon your own lungs alone —use the lungs of the Press. Use the means : they are open to all. Make it known that you are prepared to do business. | Confess ignorance in regard to subjects on | which you are uninformed : listen and learn. Be ashamed of nothing but your own errors. | Calculate the probabilities of the future: in. crease and multiply the means of information. | ‘To compete successfully with a neighbor, participate in the facilities afforded to go ahead. | The door to wealth, respectability, influence, and honor, is thrown wide open to all. Establish yourself on the broad and sound basis of integrity. Conduct your businees with intelligence and judgment. Trifle not with serious matters, and be not | serious about trifles. There is no deep or hidden mystery to be _ studied or practised to carry on business suc. | cessfully : on the contrary, all that any honest. | | | | | \ | legitimate concern, demanded by the public | wants, requires, is fair judgment, close indus- try, unwavering integrily, superior workman. ship, far prices, and todo better by the cus. tomers, if possible, than others in the same businass can do by theirs—and give it licity. Let the business of others alone, and attend fo your own, Buy fair, sell fair, and take care of the pro. fits. Should misfortune overtake you retrench —work harder—-but never fly the track—con. | front difficulties with unflinching perseverance —should you then fail, you will be honored : but shrink, and you will be despised, Consider the causes of the good standing of some, and the decline and fall and want of success of others, and regulate your conduct accordingly. The tricky, deceittul, and dishonest, are rare. ly prosperous : for when confidence is with. drawn, poverty is likely to follow. Reflect on what you see and hear. Set your mind at work; reason with candor; weigh well and consider for yourself; decide, and act. Be civil and ofliging to all; it costs noth. ing, and is worth much, WOMEN AND DANCING. We know that we have published the following at least halfa dozen times with- in as many years, but it looked so fresh and funny yesterday, as we were running over our exchanges, that we thought we would give it another send-off. It is al- most needless to say that the humerous yarn was spun by Leve, the author of The Bloomers may take a bint trom it, and partly on their ac- | count we give the extract a place :—WN. | O. Picayune. ‘I believe a woman would do a great deal fora dance,’ said Dr. Growling ?. they -are immensely fond of salatory motion.— remember once in my life ] used to flirt with one who wasa great favorite in a ded to me she had nostockings to appear in, and without them her presence at the ball was out of the question.’ ‘ That was hint for you to buy the stock: ing, said Dick. ‘No; you're out,’ said Growling. ‘She knew that | was as poor as herself; but she had every confidence in my taste and judgment, and consulted me on a plan she formed for going to the ball in proper twig. Now what do you think it was?’ ‘To go in cotton, I suppose, returned Dick. ‘Out again, sir—you’d never guess it; and only a woman could have hit upon the expedient. It was the fashion in those days for ladies in full dress to wear pink Stockings, and she proposed painting her legs!’ ’ Painting her legs!’ they all exclaimed ‘Fact, sir,’ said the Doctor,’ ‘and she relied upon me for telling her if the cheat _ was successful.’ | © And was it? asked Durfy. ‘But not a safe covenant, added the. attorney. ‘Don’t interrupt me, gentlemen,’ said the Doctor. ‘1 got some rose pink, ac- pub. California Cegars—Y our readers have heard of the gigantic cegars of the Paci- fic coast. They are found to the north, as you approach Oregon, near Humboldt Bay and the famous Gold Bluffs. It is hard to credit the stories that everybody brings home who goes there. A tree six- teen feet in diameter, and having a trunk of two hundred feet in length, beneath the branches, is of moderate size. I am as- sured that the largest are thirty feet in diameter. A friend of mine, Robert Lam- mot, Esgq., of this city, informs me that he and his brother measured a tree near Humboldt, passing round it with a tape as high as they could reach, and found the circuit to exceed ninety feet! These monsters are apt to be hollow, and it is not uncommon to find them converted in- to human habitations. Redwood is the / name commékly applied to this species of cedar, from the color of the wood, which is very soft, and has aremarkably straight grain, so that thin and perfectly even strips may be split off many feet in length. I should have mentioned that the entire length of the largest of these trees exceeds three hundred feet. SHOCCO JONES. | The International Magazine for July furnishes us with the following intelli- | gence: “All our readers who were accustomed }toread the journals twenty years ago, will remember SxHocco Jones, the immor- tal defender of the fame of North Caroli- na.

Rumor of Another Cuban Expedition.— The New Orleans correspondent of the _Natches Courter writes :—I told vou the other day_that the Cuba movement had not been abandoned. I can now inform you that in less than two months, unless the government should succeed in again defeating the plans you will hear of the sailing of the expedition.

SARAH J. HALE. CHAPTER I. The Disclosure. _ *Here’s a sudden change.’ ‘Are you ill, Charles?’ said Mrs. Carlton, laying down her pencil: she had been sketch. ing. Her husband did not answer; but, seating himself heavily on the sofa, he pressed his right hand on his forehead.’ His young wife arose gently, there was a slight suffusion on ber cheek, but it was not wounded pride that her question had been un. heeded. She leaned over the arm of the sofa, and tenderly laid her band on his forehead : ‘Is there much pain in your head, my love ?’ ‘Yes, deép, terriblé. Emily you cannot re. lieve it.’ . ‘Let me try my skill at Mesmerism,’ said she, and she playfully ran her fingers through clusters.of his hair, and lifting the dark locks from his temple, pressed ber rosy lips on the swollen and thrubbing veins. Her kiss was so soft and still that, had a jealous lover been watching beside her, he would not have heard a sound. Real and pure affection is always quiet and delicate in its attentions; and no man of refinement can long love a wife whose demonstrations of attachment are obtrusive and importunate, Charles Carlton scarcely heard the kiss of his wife, but he felt its thrill through every pulse and nerve. It was the pledged affection of a loving and true heart. His band trem- bled, fell, and his eyes, as they met hers, filled with tears. Emily’s heart sank within her, asthe fear of some terrible calamity rushed upon her mind; but she strove to sustain herself, and taking her husband’s hand in both of hers, she sat down by his side. ‘Charles, dear Charles?’ said she inquir- ingly. * Emily’ ‘My dear husband, what can I do for you?’ ‘Nothing,’ said he, calmly. ‘Nothing!

He was a tall, pale man, with a commercial looking face ; that is, bilious and rather care-worn ; but the keen glance of his eye was tempered by a benevolent smile, and when he raised his hat, the high, broad, smooth forehead bore the unequivocal stamp of a warm heart and a good conscience. *The only news of the morning is that Carl ton has failed,’ said Mr. Halford. ‘Yes, I knew that last evening,’ replied John Folsom. ‘Ts it a total failure?

The Parting. ‘Partings, such as press The life from out young hearts.’ It was June, ‘the brightly and leafy June,’ and such a glorious day! There are mornings when it seems as though the angel at Heaven’s portal Lad purposely lefithe ‘adamantine gates’ ajar, that our cold earth and callous hearts might be revived and purified with the hallowed tide of light, and life, and love. We idly taik of Nature as of a goddess, and say she renews her youth and beauty, and puts on the green robe of Spring, and the flowery mantle of Sum. mer, and Autumn’s rich sheafy crown ; but the energy of ‘Nature is only the breath of the Al. mighty, the Creator ; her beauty is but the re- flection of his benevolence ; and her bounty the overflowing of his ever-enduring love for the creatures he hath made. Rely on him, and thou wilt never be forsaken, never destitute, never in despair. ‘We will trust in God, my dear husband,’ said Mrs. Carlton, as she wiped the tears which all unconsciously to herself, had, for minutes, been raining from her eyes on the fair forehead of her babe, as he stood on her knee, looking up with an earnest gaze at his mother. He had never before seen her face in sorrow. It seemed to astonish, almost terrify him. * Dear Henry,’ she continued, clasping him to her bo. som, ‘how I wish you could speak! You should tel! papa tbat we will think of him and love him every hour he is gone. But you will soon learn to talk. Charles, I shall have no- thing todo but teach Henry and write to you ; and Paris is not quite to the end of the world.’ Charles Carlton kept his station by the open window. A stranger, who had only remarked the rapid glance of his eye, as it wandered from earth to beaven, might have fancied him a poet in the ecstacies of inspiration. Alas! his musings were of a sterner quality than poet’s dreams. He felt the reality of struggling with himself. ‘There are few occasions that more deeply try the sou] of a man than parting with the only being he feels sure loves him. He is Adam, going from his Paradise alone. Emily suddenly started up with ber infant in her arms, and stood by her husband’s side. She had caught the sound of coming wheels, and she knew he must go. ‘There is no indulging in sentiment when a rail-car or steamboat is waiting. But love, ay, real affection, is as deeply expressed in one word as in twenty. There was such a look of love, of unutterable affection in the tender smile which dimpled her pale cheek, as she held the babe to her hus. band for his farewell kiss, that it quite over. came the heart it was intended to encourage. Had she wept or complained, Charles Carlton would have rallied his manly fortitude to com. fort and sustain her; but now he only felt that he was obliged to leave al] he held dearest on earth, he was the sufferer ; and, clasping his dear ones to his bosom, his kisses were the only tarewell his lips could frame. ‘“«« And is he gone?’ Oh sudden solitude, How oft that fearful question will intrude ! ’T was but an instant passed, and here he stood ! And now without the portal’s front she rushed, And then, at length, her tears in freedom gushed.” CHAPTER IV.

What do you think it is?—but donj guess. I want to tell you the whole story.— Every morning, after breakfast, I have taken him to my chamber, and there shen him your miniature, and I say to him as he kisses it, ‘It is papa. Henry loves papa.’ ‘I wanted he should be in the constant habit of remembering and loving you; and this morning he said to himself, of his own accord :—‘ Henry lovee pa. pa!’ Oh, I never was so happy! I laughed and wept, and caressed and kissed him, and he was wild with joy, because he found he had de- lighted me so; and he said, fifty times over, ‘Henry loves papa!’ * How I wish you could hear him?’ ‘ This incident, my dear Charles, was a train of serious and happy reflections in my mind.— I am quite a convert to my good aunt’s theory, that happiness is always found in the path of duty; and then she has another apothegm, which I hope I shall find as true, that adversi. ty has deeper and purer pleasures than pros. perity. * Had we, my husband, continued in our pros. perity, I should probably have lost this dear and precious pleasure of hearing my child’s first sentence. Perhaps, too, instead of baving his first accents embued with filial love, and his heart strengthened in its pure feelings by bis mother’s caresses, he might have given ex- pression to some angry passion or selfish ap- petite, that would have defiled his sweet lisp. ings, and might have given an evil impulse to his feelings which could never have been cor. rected. Oh, it is strange that woman can think so much of jewels from the mines of earth, when she holds the key ot the heart’s treasures | I ask myself what amount of wealth would have given me the unutterable transport which my babe’s first simple sentence has done? I can answer befure God, that no’amount could have made me so happy. * * * * * [ To be continued. ] * Cattle on Railroads—An Interesting Fact.—A few days ago our fellow citi- zen, Mr. H. L. Ashbrook, took ninety |head of beef cattle to New York city.— The cattle were sent by the Little Mis- mi and Cohumbus ruads to Cleveland; and thence by steamer to Buffalo, and from’that place by railroad to New York The cost of transportation was $14 inquired Mr. Mears. ‘Ohno! It would pain me so excessively to meet poor Emily under a sense of her alter. | ed fortune. Indeed, I fear my emotion would | be uneontrollable, and thus afflict her. [ would | not spare myself,’ said the young lady, again | sighing deeply. * Bell is so devotedly attached to Mrs. Carl- ton, that this misfortune has nearly broken her | heart,’ said Mrs. Folsom, the mother. ‘I wish she had not so much sensibility.’ ‘Why. it is rather an unpleasant affair to fail in business,’ remarked Mr. Mears; but it is not very uncommon ; and | don’t see as itis likely to do Carlton any serious injury. He has gone out to Paris. agent for Halford & Co., a good firm, and I hear is allowed to do some- thing besides for his own benefit. Perhaps, in a few years, he will return rich enough to flourish as gay as ever.” ‘LT think, Bell, you had better ride out to Germantown, one of these fine mornings, and call on Mrs. Carlton,’ said Mrs. Folsom. ‘[ would, mamma, with all my heart, only she lives with her odd old aunt, the Mrs. Ea. ton, whom I used to detest so much. What made Emily endure her I never could imagine: perhaps it was that she might have a friend in time of need.’ ‘Mrs. Carlton was incapable of such caleu- lating selfishness, I am sure,’ said Mr. Mears, warmly, forgetting, in his zeal for the injured absent lady, that he was dissenting from the opinion of her particular friend. , ‘Oh, I dare say you are right, Mr. Mears, said Miss Folsom, with an air of pique. ‘ Emi- ly had a most sweet and winning manner,.and really she was very amiable, and always ap- peared to love her aunt; but that was no good reagon why others should also, adore the old la- dy. Really, to me she was disagreeable.— Why, she was always prosing about the influ- ence of woman, and her duties, and moral im- provement, and all such obsolete stuff. She is a walking lecture ; and I wonder how Emi- ly can endure to live with her.’ \ | 45 per head. Mr. Ashbrook sold imme- diately, on satisfactory terms, and return- ed home. having been absent eleven days. Not the least accident or difficulty ocear- red, and there was very little shrinkage. in the cattle. The immense advantage of this mode of transportation will be apparent when we state, that it requires about seventy- five days to drive a lot of cattle from this point to New York city, attended with an expense of near $20 per head, and witha heavy loss by shrinkage.—Campton (Ky.)

For this reason a narrative of the proceed- ings bad on the Fourth of July, at Kingstree, in Williamsburgh District, may be not entirely devoid of interest, and therefore, I will endeav- or to give you as faithful a representation of them as I can. At af early hour the people from different of the District assembled in the Village, pot ee the representation may have been’ ed by the attendance of numbers at se. Dro wf ge an held throughout the | e- i e be he District, still large and respectable number attended. e Court House contained many fore than it conveniently accommodated. The Iadies tao were there, in all the charms and fasciniations of beauty, and seemed to call down the benignant smiles of Providence on passing events. After prayer by the Rev. James A. Wallace, the Declaration of Independence was read in a clear impressive manner by Dr. H. Thorn, and then Dr. James S. Brockinton, the orator of the day, encbained the hushed audi- ence for about half an hour, during the delive- of a chaste, glowing, and eloquent address, replete with bold patriotism, which was receiv. ed with general applause. -The company then proceeded to the resi- dence of Mr. Jos.

Because he said in a speech, delivered by him in Congress, in opposition to the Com. promise, “that when we asked for justice, and to be let alone, we are met by the senseless and insane cry of Union!

Because he said in the same speech, that he was disgusted with it, (meaning the cry of “Union.”) 7th Because he boasted in Congress, that the people were fast losing their veneration and respect for the Union. 8th. Because he entered into a calculation of dollars and cents, to prove the South would be better off out of the Union than in it. 9th. Because he boasted of our capacity to wage war against our brethren of other States who might oppose our going out of the Union, or otherwise interfere with us. 10. Because, in voting against the Comprom. ise measures of Congress, he voted against Clay. Cass, Douglass, Dickinson, Foote, Bell, Badger, Mangum, and a host of others, Whigs and Democrats, alike distinguished for their tal. ents and their patriotism, and voted with Rhett, & Co., South Carolina disunionists, and with Hale, Seward, Giddings, & Co., Northern Ab- olitionist, who have made common cause to de- stary the Union. 11. Because his votes and speeches in Con- gress, have placed him on the platform of the Syracuse Convention, and the South Carolina Convention, which are one and identical for the dissolution of the Union. 12. That every Disunionist in the District and the State are for him—that every secess- ion or disunion paper in this State and South Carolina, are advocating his re-election, from which we infer that there is a feeling of sympa. thy, a community of interest, and a concurrence of sentiment among them. 13. Because, we regard disunion, secession, and nullification, as one heresy with three ti- tles, and his votes and speeches identify him with that heresy. 14. Because, if he were elected, a shout would go up from the swamps of South Caroli. na; be re-echoed by the disunionists of Ala. bama, and Mississippi, that would encourage the doctrine of secession, disunion, and nullifi- cation. 15. Because his election would place ‘‘the Western Reserve” in a false position, creating the impression that she favors the doctrines so steadily opposed since the days of nullification in 1832. . 16. Because he refuses to answer what course he would take, if South Carolina at. tempts to resist the law. 17. Because he withholds his opinions as to whether the General Government has the right to coercé a State into obedience. 18. Because, from his evasion of those ques. tions, and his popularity with those who are | threatening resistance, we-do not believe he | would aid in entorcing the law if in Congress when South Carolina resisted. 19. Because we go for enforcing the Jaw in the North, and the South, the East and the West, and differ with Mr. Clingman in what we understand to be his positions. 20. Because we believe that the General Government has the power to coerce a sover- eign State, or half a dozen sovereign States, in matters wherein they surrendered their sover.- cignity at the formation of the Governmenl, | and, 21. Because we do not understand Mr. Cling- man as holding these opinions. We could give divers other good and suffi. cient reasons for opposing his election, but we regard the foreyoing as sufficient to deter, not | only us, but the whole District, from supporting | him, and we have no doubt of his defeat in the | District by a large majority, notwithstanding the efforts that are making to re-elect him.— South Carolina influence and patronage will all signally fail, to identify our hardy, intelli | gent, Union loving, law abiding citizens, of this | tree and happy country, with a Southern Con. federacy, forming an alliance with, and soon to become adependency of Great Britain.

Federaiism.—The stereotyped cant of Old Ritchie about Federalism, the Virgin- ia Resolutions of 98, Thomas Jefferson, &c. &c. upon which be rung the charges for thirty years, and until he wore it so thread-bare that the most dim-eyed could see through it, has recently been revived throughout the State, and all those who oppose the reckless, and ruinous doctrines of nullification secession, and disunion, (one heresy with three titles) are called federalists. The time was, in the palmy days of Father Ritchie, that some men could be caught up with that sort of chaff but thanks to the intelligence of the coun- try, those days have long since passed.— North Carolinians can not be gulled into the belief, that a doctrine, advocated and acted upon by General Jackson, smacks of Federalism, and it is worthy of notice, that the principles now advocated by those who are called Federalists. are identical with those laid down by Gen. Jackson ‘in his Proclamation; the Proclamation is our.text book on the subject of nullifica- tion and.secession.

He thought that Mr. Adams for only presenting a petition to destroy it was guilty of perjury and high treason.

Hecannot propose secession, he cannot speak of a desire to dissolve the Union, because if he does, according to his own vote he will be guilty of perjury and high treason. Where is the difference between the pe- tition of Mr. Adams and the views of Messrs. Caldwell and Daniel? We can see none. Both look to a peaceable dis- solution of the Union, and if the presenta- tion of the petition makes Mr. Adams a perjurer and a traitor, in what position are his revilers? If Mr. Adams merited expulsion and infamy, what do his assail- ants deserve? What can they expect from the people, whose intelligence they insult, at one time vilifying # man as a traitor and a perjurer, and a few years after advocating the very doctrines which they had condemned. People of North Carlina, we call upon you to put down this spirit of disunign.— Put down the men who advocate it. Let it never be said that North Carolina aided in the destruction of the Union and the Constitution by sending disunionists to Congress. If this Union is to be dissolved let it never be said that Whig neglect of duty caused it.—Fay. Observer. SHARP SAYINGS. The Southern Standard, Charleston, of Tuesday last, informs, that Edmund Bel- linger, Esq., engaged in a discussion at Clinton, on the 4th inst., said that “if the commercial interests of the city of Charles- ton were aclog to the State, then he agreed with Capt. Allen, that we had better make a second Moscow of the city.” Such ex- pressions show how utterly unfit some of the leaders in South Carolina are, to man- age the grave affairs of the times. We would as soon put ourselves under the lead of the veriest madman or idiot, as under the direction of men so callous to the claims of humanity ; so profoundedly ignorant of the character of mankind. b- | lic man can be even permitted to utter such sentiments in acivilized community. These are they who are destroying the future hopes of the South, by driving from the southern ranks all prudent and just men; men who would shrink from no bonorable peril, but who would turn with We trust the good people of South Caro- lina will become sensible of the deep in- jury such things are doing them every- where, and institute a reform, and get such men out of the lead in the State.— History teaches us that these “ Furiosos” are not to be depended upon in the hour of danger. Should they ever be brought to the test, we venture to predict that the gentlemen here named will be very care- ful to call in the aid of wisdom at the last pinch, and keep as much as possible out of the range of those mischievous things, called shots and shells. Their tongues wag bravely at the festive meeting, but this is not a circumstance to the showing off they will do, when the “ vile guns” shall become clamorous. * Oh, how they'll make their trotters play !"— Wil. Com. Liquor Seizures in Maine.—The au- thorities in the different cities and towns in Maine are carrying out the provisions of the liquor law recently put in force in that State with great alacrity. Last week the premises of T. Wall & Co., in Bongor, were visited by thg “Marshal of that city, and thirty-seven barrels of liquor were found ready for shipment to Boston. The Marshal took them in charge, and would facilitate their, departure. Five barrels, half-barrels, jugs, &c. condemned ‘by the Police Court of the same place, were also destroyed. At Portland, on Friday. Charles W. Childs was examined charged with selling two quarts of brandy and was fined ten dollers and costs. On Saturday be was brought up.on a second complaint, and pleaded.nol\con., and was d twenty dollars and costs, Further cotion was stayed on condition that -he would sell no more.

SOUTH CAROLINA. We invite the reader’s attention to the proceedings on the 4th July at Kingstree, S. C., (published in this paper,) as exhib- iting the present prevailing sentiment of her people. We have not selected this account because of any peculiarity or dif- ference between it and accounts of pro- ceedings in other parts of the State: there is no material difference. All that we have seen correspond with this; and it is truly astonishing that whilst all the neigh- boring States, as much concerned as S. Carolina is, and not less intelligent and brave, are comparatively satisfied on the subject which is agitating her, she is as rampant asa bully ata muster, with sleeves rolled up, shirt collar open, and hat off, cavorting around, flourishing weapons, and swearing great oaths. We have ne- ver seen a very clever or ingelligent man “carrying on” in that way ; but we have often seen such men three days afterwards wearing a very sorrowful, submissive face, and a red bandaner over one cye. The 4 gain the good esteem of neighbors, nor has it been found to pay well at any time, or in any way. A man thus behaving, often mourns over his rashness and folly when it is too late to avoid the sure con- sequences. If South Carolina has been wronged to the extent her public demon- strations indicate, she might find it more economical and safe to seek redress in | some other way than by assuming such a pugilistic attitude. RG Home Mades.—The Fayetteville Observer and Greensboro’ Patriot have each, of late. spoken in terms of praise of the workmanship of certain carriage builders in their several towns. We are glad to see this, for it is very evident that there is more fancy than reality in the idea of getting better work of this descrip- tion at the North than can be obtained at home. If any one doubts this let them call at the shop of Mr. Wm. Overman, and examine a close carriage which he has just completed for our fellow citizen A. Henderson, Esq. In point of work- manship it is unexceptionable. The ma- terial is of the best quality, and the taste displayed mature ; and the general effect of the job, taken as a whole, is decidedly fine. Mr. William C Randolph is now con- structing, at Smith & Barker’s shop, one of his Plank Road Trucks on a working scale. He proposes, as soon as he shall get it ready, to make a trip to Fayette- ville, carrying down, with four horses, six thousand pounds, and loading back with eight thousand. > The weather is extremely dry in this and the surrounding counties.

In the discussion of the Force Bill, the doc- trine of secession came directly under consid- eration. Mr. W.’s position in that debate can- not be mistaken. In his Sptech delivered in the Senate on the 16th February 1833, he de- nounced the doctrine of Secession in the strong- est and most unequivoral terms. ‘ The doc- trine now contended for,” said he, ‘is that by NULLIFICATION AND SECESSION the obligations and authority of the government may be set a- side or rejected without revolution. But that is what I deny.” Again: afier enumerating many consequen- ces, ruinous in their character, to which seces- sion would lead, he proceeds, ‘* The Constitu- tion does not provide for events which must be preceded by its own destruction. SEcEssron, therefore, since it must bring these consequences with it, is REVOLUTIONARY, and Nullification ts equally revolutionary !” We wish we had the space to quote more at length from this able Speech, replete as it is with the most irrefutable arguments against the doctrine of Secession. Before the ‘* Standard” can drag Mr. Webster in, between its party and that abominable doctrine, it will have to answer successfully this speech. Then and not till then need it rely on “the great defend. er of the Constitution” to aid it and its party leaders in their treasonable designs against the Union. We consider this a sufficicent reply to the effort of the * Standard,” to place Mr. W. in the false position of approving its odicus heresies. Let us proceed more immediately to the consideration of the positions assumed by that Disunion print. The “ Standard” has repeatedly asked with an air of arrogance, “* Would you put down a Sovereign State by force?” We would have the Governmentexecute its laws. Without the power and will to do this, it would not be worth preserving. It would be a curse instead of a blessing. It would lull to sleep, under a false security, the orderly, only to become, more cer- tainly, the victims of the lawless. Nor are we singular in this opinion, as a few historical facts will shew. In November 1832, South Carolina, in so- lemn Convention, passed her celebrated Ordi- dinance declared as follows, viz: the end that it be fully understood by the Go- vernment of the States, and the People of the Co-—States, that we are determin- ed to maintain, this our Ordinance and de- on the part of the Federal Government, to re- duce this State to obedience, but that we con- thorizing the employmen: of a military or naval force, against the State of South Carolina, her constitutional authorities or clizens, or any act dbolishing or Closing the ports of this State, &c. as inconsistent with the longer continuance of South Carolina in the Union, and that the. peo- ple of this State will henceforth hold themselves » to this once. (in their, estimation) hated and abominable. heresy, but now favorite principle, which will seatter to the of Mr. Webster, at’ the Capon Springs, go, we have only to say, the of it has appeared, and the construction placed on it by the “ Standard” is directly at war with” the uniform sentiments of Mr. W. as therefore expressed. In his first Speech at the Capon Springs he denounced secession—at Wasbing- ton City, on the 4th of July, in bis speech on laying the corner stone of the Capitol he did the same thing. In his great speech on Foot’s Resolution in reply to Hayne, he literally de- molished this treasonable heresy. So he did in his speech in reply to Mr. Calhoun on the Lest the Editor might not have time to look up these speeches and examine for In ‘‘ Direct cobision, therefore, between force edy for the revision of unconstitutional laws, It must Is not this the plain result?

Yes sir, even in our midst has one arisen to whom the world no doubt e’er long will owe a | debt of gratitude which millions cannot pay. In May | he commenced his career by wielding his mighty pen against the Sons, and though June has scarcely closed, yet he is descanting most learnedly on a “‘ new dispen- sation,” can tell the genius of animals by their foot prints in the sand, and has discovered a monster of some kind which has not only teeth, but also claws to bite with. The new dispensation will first demand our attention. Let us then compare it with the old, and see how far they coincide. In the old dispensation we find this lan- guage: “ Wo unto him that giveth his neighbor drink, that putteth his bottle to him,” &c. In the new dis- pensation, as D terms it, men solemnly pledge their hon- or that they will neither drink themselves nor put the bottle to their neighbor's mouth. Again: in the same good Book which contains the old dispensation, and which furnishes the only system of morality by which the Sons of ‘Temperance are governed, we find written : a | Wo to him that riseth up early in the morning that he | tune,’ why, it was the vilest treason to *‘ State | may follow strong drink.” In the new dispensation we resolve that we will not follow strong drink at all, either early or late. Again it is written: ‘* Wo unto them that are mighty to drink wine, and men of strength to mingle strong drink.” Under the new dispensation, in order to escape the denunciations of the old, we deem it most advisable and safe to refrain from a trial of our strength at drinking | wine, and lest we should be convicted of guilt in the mingling of strong drink we pledge our honor that we will not use as a beverage either malt liquor, or cider; afid if in this we err, we think we err on the safe side. But, again we find it written, “ Be not among wine bibbers.” ‘This injunction we find it difficult to obey, taken in a literal sense, for we live among men who will sometimes drink wine or something stronger, and pass- ing from place to place we may occasionally be thrown into their company, and what is worse, enveloped in the odorous fumes that aecompany them. But we have one retreat from the presence of the wine bibbers, more secure than any other of which we have any knowl- edge, where we can take refuge once a week or often- er, that is the Division Room. Again it is written: “ Look not upon the wine when ‘it is red, when it giveth its color in the cup, for at last it biteth like a serpent and stingeth like an adder.” We find nothing in the pledge adopted by the Sons of Tem- perance quite so stringent as this injunction of the Bible, for we may, without censure, look upon the wine, though we may not drink it ourselves or give it to oth- ers. “The only difference we have found thus far in our comparison between the old dispensation and the new, is that the old is a little the strongest, and yet we are gravely informed in relation to this very pledge which does not go quite as far as the Bible, against the use of intoxicating, liquors, and by the same person who stig- matizes the Temperance cause with the name of the new dispensation, that The world is governed too much.” That our Order savors of infidelity, Jesuitism, Roman Catholicism, and faneticism, and that its tend- ency is to subvert the Church and Government. Per- ght see clearly to pull the mote out of ours. When we compare the principles of the Sons of Tem- These | perance with the Bible, it is perfectly manifest that they He | do not go too far, and that the restrictions imposed up- | on their appetites are not unnecessarily binding.

Or if the Or- der of the Sons of Temperance or the principles laid | down in their Constitution and By-Laws are not as strictly in accordance with the principles of religion as | any other temperance organization in the United States ' or any other country, we wish to have the difference pointed out. We never did consider any temperance organization, per se, a religious institution, though we believed it in a certain sense to be auxiliary to the Church. We believe that many are now members of the Church who would at this moment have been ‘ccu- pying a diunkard’s grave ad they not been induced to sign a temperance pledge. We do not hold that the temperance society ever regenerated any one. But we believe most sincerely that it has been the means of keeping men sober, and while sober they attended upon the means of grace and were prepared to hear the truth, (which a man when drunk is not) and that truth accom- proved effectual to their conversion. When D first opened his bajteries upon the Order of the Sons of Temperance, I Supposed he intended by profpund reasoning and solid arguments to préve that they were manifestly and radically wrong. I have been waiting for the proofs but have found nothing but ireful denunciation. He speaks of ascension robes, dull origi- nals, and pointless sarcatms, but carefully avoids grap- piling with the main question. Originals, even if they are dull, are preferable to lofty flights or borrowed pin- ions. I admire originals. I would not exchange them for borrowed ideas clothed in borrowed language, though never so fine. D will henceforth please to “face the music” Let him tell why and wherefore the Sons deserve so much total abstinence and infidelity are synonimous terms.— He may have adopted the opinion that the the subject. Or two extremes are nearest together and most alike. the design of darting down suddenly as the eagle upon his prey, and demolishing the whole Order root and branch. SOBRIETY. Mr. Epiror—In reply to your remarks of last week, D desires to say that it affords him no pleasure to in- dulge in personal allusions under any circumstances, but a reference to his first communication and the attempt- ed replies, he thinks will satisfy any candid mind that in this regard those out of the “Order” have been ‘‘ more sinned against than sinning.” D has mavifested no disposition to discuss Temper- ance: but has manifested a disposition to check intem- perance whether exhibited in, or out of the ‘ Order.” If the individual against whom you say D “has fired several rounds” is ambitious for a public discussion, he can be gratified at some other time, or possibly on some other subject. He may flesh his weapon in an arena better suited for the exhibition of his talents, and more in unison with D’s taste and studies. By a public dis- cussion at this time, D would be revealed, and D knows that the ‘tender sensibilities” of his ‘‘ supposed oppo- nent” would be wounded to see him face an open fire in the front and be exposed also to a masked fire in the rear.

Her piety was quiet and unobtrusive, best known and most highly appreciated by those who were most intimately acquainted with her. It shone most brightly in the faithful discharge of the duties of a wife, a mother and a friend. Though naturally timid, when | apprised of deaths approach, she manifested no alarm, and was enabled calinly and peacefully to submit to the | will of the Lord. A fond husband, two small children, and an aged mother, are left to mourn for one, whose loss to them, is indeed irreparable. reason to believe that, what to them is loss, is her eter- nal gain. S.

It is also usetul for raising ores from mines, or any similar purpose. It ac- complishes the same amount of labor in less than half the time required by any other machine, with half the amount of labor. With this simple contrivance a buck- et can be sent to a spring at the distance of three hun- dred yards and returned with water in three minutes time. It is simple in its construction, durable, and not easily to get out of repair, The undersigned having purchased the patent right for the counties of Rowan, Cabarrus and Mecklenburg, in this State, will be pleased to sell individual rights to such as may need them.

SALE OF VALUABLE ~ REAL ESTATE. Y virtueof a Decree of the Hon. the Court of Equi- ty in and for the County of Montgomery, I will, on the 14th day of August next, expose to Public Sale, to the highest bidder on the premises, (the residence of the Late Col. John Crump,) the very VALUABLE REAL ESTATE known as the NARROWS OF THE YADKIN, on the Montgomery side of the River, consisting of se- verable Tracts, containing 14 or 1500 acres in all. The Land including the buildings, improvements, and the Narrows, will be sold in the first place, and the se- veral surrounding Tracts afterwards, separately. This Land is valuable not only on account of the fer- tility and productiveness of the soil, being well adapted to the culture of Corn, Wheat, Cotton, Tobacco, &c., but also on account of the excellent FISHERY attach- ed to it at the Narrows, wherea great number of Shad may be annually caught, and the Water Power afford- ed by the fall in the River at this place, which enter- prise and capital could make useful and profitable by the erection of Mills and Machinery of every descrip- tion, to any extent that might be desired. Besides these capital advantages, the situation is beautiful, romantic and healthy ; in short, desirable in every point of view. Twelve months credit will be given, the purchasers giving bond and approved sureties. JAS. L. GAINES, C. M. E. July 9, 1851. 6wl0 State of Porth Carolina, CALDWELL COUNTY.

Tho’ I cannot toil like the groaning slave Ye have fettered with iron skill, To ferry you over the boundless wave, Or grind in the noisy mill ; Let him sing his giant strength and speed ; Why in a single shaft of mine Would give that monster a flight indeed, To the depth of the ocean brine. No! no! fm the spirit of light and love, To my unseen hand ’tis given To peneil the ambient clouds above, And polish the stars of heaven. I seatter the golden rays of fire On the horizon far below, And deck the skies where storms expire, With my red and dazzling glow. The deepest recesses of earth are mine— \ Ry 3 + 1 tragerse its silent core ; Arou e starry diamonds shine, And Nhe sparkling field of ore ; And oft I leap from my throne on high, To the depth of the ocean’s caves, Where the fadeless forest of coral lie, Far under the world of waves. My being is like a lovely thought That dwells in a sinless breast ; A tone of masic that ne’er was caught— A word that was ne’er expressed ; I burn in the bright and burnished halls Where the fountains of sunlight play— Where the curtain of gold and opal falls, O’er the scenes of the dying day. With a glance I cleave the sky in twain, I light with a glare, When fall the boding drops of rain, Through the darkly curtained air; The rock-built towers, the turrets gray, The piles of a thousand years, Have not the strength of potter’s clay Before my glittering spears. From the Alps’ or the highest Andes’ crag, From the peaks of eternal snow, The dazzling folds of my fiery flag, Gleam o’er the world below ; The earthquake heralds my coming power, The avalanche bounds away, And tgp howling storms at midnight hour, Proclaim my kingly sway. Ye tremble when my legions come— When my quivering sword leaps out O’er the hills that echo my thunder-drum, And rend with my joyous shout ; Ye quail on the land or upon the seas, Ye stand in your fear aghast, To see me burn the stalwart trees, Or shiver the stately mast. The hieroglyphs on the Persian wall, The letters of high command, Where the prophet read the tyrant’s fall, Were traced with my burning hand ; And oft in fire have I wrote since then, What angry Heaven decreed— Bat the sealed eyes of sinful men Were all too blind to read. At last the hour of light is here, And kings no more shall blind, Nor the bigots crush with craven fear, The forward march of mind. The words of truth and freedom’s rays, Are from my opinions hurled, And soon the sun of better days . Shall rise upon the world. But away, away, through the sightless air, Stretch forth your iron thread, For I would not svil my sandals fair, With the dust ye tamely tread ; Ay, rear it up on its million piers— Let it circle the world around, And the journey ye make in a hundred years, I'll clear at a single bound. —_—_——e, | aa £ Advent of Bloomerism in Richmond.— Yesterday afternoon an adventurous fe- male made her appearance upon the streets rigged out in the new model cos- tume. Who she was or where she came from, we are unable to say. Having, however, enjoyed the felicity of being placed in respectable proximity to her, we are enabled to state for the gratification of the curious, that she was young, pas- sably gool looking, with a neatly turned ankle, and by no means ungraceful in form. Her self-possession was most ad. mirable. Though followed by as respec- table a tail as ever danced attendance the veriest demagogue in existence, ‘she was altegether free from embarrass- t. and bore the complimentary atten- “tions of her admirers with graceful com- osure. She seemed to think that though , was composed of ragged little urchins cand street loafers, still it was better to, ve such an escorf, than remain forever _in utter obscurity. —— not sufficiently Setead in the intricacies of female dress to describe ac- -ourately hercostume.

One of the mi!ls belonging to the Plank Road Company, located about 20 miles below this place and managed by Messrs. Worth, was burnt on Friday night last. The fire is sup- posed to have originated from the falling of a spark into the saw-dust. The mill was stop- ped some time in the early part of the night, the laborers had gone to their lodgings, and the sawyer, who alone remained at the mill, fell asleep. About 11 o ’clock he was awaken. ed in the flames, which had advanced so far that they could not be extingushed. ‘The boil- ers are but little iqjured, but about one-third part of the machinery is destroyed. The burn. ing of this mill, it is thought, will not greatly retard the progress of work. ‘There is a miil near Carthage not now in use, and this Messrs. Worth have resolved tu remove immediately to a convenient point on the unfinished part of their contract. ‘he time consumed in remov.- ing and putting up, will be occupied in finisb- ing those parts of the contract now planked. A considerable length of time is absolutely necessary for the cempletion of a contract so large as that of Messrs. Worth. Much time is necessarily consumed in putting up miils at convenient points, and then one of them, cut- ting 10,000 feet per diem, will only furnish plank and stringers for one mile in 16 days.— Ashborough Herald. &e., &e.

The Denouement. ‘Hope is brightest when it dawns from fears.’ ‘Doctor. how do you find my poor little niece, Mrs. Carlton, this morning 7’ said Mrs. Eaton. ‘No better, no better; heart sick, Mrs. Eaton.

Dear Watchman :—After a long, tedi- ous, and tiresome voyage to all on board’ not accustomed to “ go down to the sea in ships,’—we have all arrived at our destin- ed port in health and safety ; and as] pro- mised to let you hear from me before a great while, | now propose to give you a brief summary of the prominent events of our four months * life on the ocean wave.” The day we left New York, Jan. 3lst, was fair, but cold and windy. Having in the morning dropped down to Staten Island, about 4 o’clock in the afternoon we weighed anchor, set sail, and in a few minates our noble ship (the Stag Hound of 1600 tons burthen, and 226 feet in length.) was gliding along over the blue waves with dignity and grace. It was truly a magnificent sight as we headed off that evening so beautifully from the shore, and made our way out farther and farther upon the bosom of the “ migh- ty deep;” and the passengers spent the greater part of it pacing up and down the quarter-deck contemplating the enchant- But our enjoyment did not continue to flow on altogether uinterrupt- ed and undisturbed. The remembrance of beloved relatives and friends from whom we had separated, forced itself upon us: as each look in oth- ers face there could be seen a depth of in- tense feeling, over which our enjoyment of the moment played as the little ripples played upon the surface of the deep blue sea around us. The next morning I began to feel symp- toms of sea-sickness. Of this disease I was under the impression [ had some ex- perience in going from Philadelphia to New York. via Cape May; but I soon found that I knew nothing of its horrors. For three weeks and more I could scarce- ly eat a mouthful of anything at all. It ‘really seemed to me at times that eating was the most disgusting thing I had ever Dishes, which on shore had ever been most inviting, sud- The very sight of them was loathsome; and | not ‘only hated them, but almost every thing else, even myself. . In fact, if there is anything in the world that is calculated to raise the “Old Har- ry” in a man quicker than another, I be- lieve it is to put him on board a ship for the first time, let him get fairly sea-sick, and then have a storm to come on, and set the vessel to rolling, tumbling and pitching about like a crazy beast. Such was precisely my case when five days out, during which time | had eaten nothing but had been vomiting almost incessantly. Now I would like to give a little short sketch of the storm | have alluded to; but it has been so long since, and so many other interesting matters have since pre- sented themselves during the voyage that the immense excitement it created at the time cannot be so accurately described. However. as the principal features of it are so indelibly stamped upon my mem- ory that they can never be erased, I have concluded not to pass it by altogether un. | noticed. As I said before, we were then | ‘just five days out from New York, and about three degrees of the Bermudas.— | the sails usually furled in cases of this kind had been taken in, still, Mazeppalike, she seemed to dash over the hilly surface with increased vigoratevery bound. Eve- ry thing that was not fastened down about the vessel was rolling here and there, and every where, in the most confused disor- der; the heavy seas she had shipped and the still heavier ones she was then ship- ping, added new and redoubled conster- nation to the bitterscene. In fact, things began to wear such a dubious aspect, that a speedy change, of some sort was looked forward to with the greatest certainty, not only by the passengers, but by the Captain and crew also; when to com- plete the horrors of the hour, the fore top- gallant. fore royal, main topmast, main topgallant, main royal, mizzen topgallant and mizzen royal masts gave way, and with their appendages came falling crash, crash, all over and about the ship, in the most appalling manner. By this time it was dark, and we “ turned in” that night, doubting whether we should ever be per- And as for me, | suppose | was quite as indifferent about it as any one else there; for when a person gets to be as much un- der the influence of nausea as! was then, Iam somewhat inclined to believe that he would regard a grave in the sea as more to be courted than dreaded. Butas the night passed off, we found that the storm was abating; and in forty-eight hours after we had fine weather, which continued till we passed tothe other side of the Equator. Crippled as we were by the storm our hopes of a quick passage were greatly damped; but fortunately for us we had masts and fixtures on board ; and through the indefatigable exertions and persever- ance of our vigilant Captain, we succeed- ed in getting all the wreck cleared away and new masts put up in the course of eighteen or twenty days. But the shat- tered timbers and torn sails of this event, opened an unusually large field of labor for our Carpenter and Sail-maker, who, like the other part of the crew, always have as much and more than they can do when there is nothing of the kind takes lace. From here, we kept on our course, which had been pretty much Southeast, until we passed the Cape Verde Islands about four degrees to the West, when we turned South and crossed the Equator in longitude between 29 deg. and 30 min. The next interesting incident that occurred with us was when off the coast of Brazil in lat. 22° 25’, lon. 38° 29’, Sunday. March 2nd. It was about 6 o’clock, A. M., and | had just left when aman by my side pointing over the star. board bow, cried out “A boat! A boat! with men in it.” In an instant the news was con- “veyed lo every ear on board, and in about the same length of time the starboard rail was lin. dressed passengers, all wondering and conjec- fited, unhappy looking people. As we drew nearer abreast of them (they making towards us all the while as hard they could) they com. menced waving their hands and handkerchiefs, beckoning to us, and calling out in an unintelli- gible language, as if imploring us to receive them on board. At the time, the sea was run. ning moderately bigh, and we were going along | at the rate of some five or six knots per hour ; so that in a few, minutes we had them consid. erably on the stern, But we were not so des. there surrounded by death on every hand. Our sympathies were quickly and enthusiastically aroused forthem; and as soon as the Captain to row up. our side, and their nautical garb atonce gave to, nor unacquainted with, the life of seafaring men. | they were all able to puil themselves on board | by it except one, who we afterwards learned was their Captain. He, poor fellow, was so exhausted that he could not help himself, and we had to draw him up. | the next thingto be Jearnt; for as yet not a | word had been understood from them. | difficulty was removed, however, as soon as we | got them and all of our men collected together ; | (which represented nearly as many different nations,) we quickly found our interpreter in the | person of an old Swede, whose story concern. ‘ing them, as communicated by him to us from them, was in substance about as follows: They | were Swedes, and belonged to the Russian brig | Sylphide, which had been to Rio and taken in| a cargo of one thousand eight hundred and | twenty-five bags of Coffee, with which she had | set sail for Helsingfors, Finland. | | or rather squall, came upon them, and so com. mitted to see the light of another day.— | to our crew, especially in doubling Cape Horn; for they could endure the cold much betier than our seamen. That day in commendation of the act we had performed in the morning, we read during divine service, the parable of the Good Samaritan. About three o’clock in the afternoon of the same day,a little circumstance came under my observation which, though it may seem quite a (rivial affair in the eyes of many, may never. theless serve to illustrate in some degree bow inconsiderate and disrespect{ul we too often are of the lives of inferior animals. The subject of it was a little land bird, very much resem. bling our hedge sparrow, which was discover. ed resting upon one of the larboard main bra. ces. It had wandered out on the water and looked as if it was nearly perished, and so weak it could scarcely fly. On seeing it, I ran be- | low and got a few crumbs of bread, and strew. ed them along over the life boat nearest to it. | But just at this moment the Swedish captain, | who had now begun to revive came up on deck, and spying the distressed little wanderer, he walk ed as deliberately to the rope upon which it was setting, as if it had been some noxious intruder, and shook it violently. At this the bird flew off some distance from the ship, and then came back again, and lit in the very same place; again the captain shook the rope with as much | or more force than he had done at first, and again the bird did just as it had done before.— This same thing was repeated for the third time ; when the wearied little creature, appa- rently despairing of life, and welcoming death asa relief to its sufferings darted down upon (he water, and was seen no more. One would have thought that that man of all others on board, himself so recently and so similarly sit- want of feeling. Keeping along down the South Ameri- can coast, we passed on between Patago. nia and the Falkland Islands; and on the morning of the 21st of March, we found our. selves within about 20 miles of Staten Land. This was the first land we had seen since we left home, and we did nothing but feast our eyes upon it all that forenoon; until we got so far off from it it had the resemblance of a mere cloud. When we were nearest to it, I took up but could distinguish nothing but its rugged and sterile looking mountain, the highest peaks of which were covered with snow, and presented quite a picturesque and lofty appearance. No vegitation nor living thing of any sort could be discerned. But a young Bostonian whom we afterwards saw in Valparaiso, told us he pass- uated, would have been the last todisplay such’ the telescope and looked at it for some time, | they bad hada severe earthquake, rahe vid pees the city bad been more or less injured by it—a part completely destroyed, and some persons killed... It envainreseai by some of them, that it had laid.a’ great por. tion of Santiago, the Capitol, in ruins + but as yet no difinite news had been received from any of the inland cities or. towns, and it was not positively ascertained what its destroying ef. fects had been in any other place, save only in that. Late that evening, about balf an hour before sun down, we mace our debut in the city ; but it was then too late to see or Jeara anything that day, so we returned directly to our own quarters, and waited in suspense for the coming morn. Immediately afier an early breakfast, Wed- nesday morning, we put off in a small boat for the shore, and were not a little amazed on ar- riving there to find everything so new and dif. ferent from what we had supposed it was. A great crowd of the natives, dressed in their pe. culiar fashion, were collected upon the wharfe, and were making @ great hubbub with their clamorous tongues (the Spanish) and noisy ac- tions. They appeared to be a simple hearted, kind, but ignorant and abominably filthy sort of people. Scarcely had we been in the cityshalf an hour that morning, when I stepped ck barber's | shop to have my beard and hair t#ken off; and | while sitting down in a chair, justin the act of | being shaved, the barber very suddenly sprang _ aghast from me towards the door, and the first | thing I knew the whole earth, houses and eve. |rything around me, were quivering, shaking /and quaking in the most terrific manner; tho’ | fortunately for timid mortals it did not last more ‘than seven or eight seconde. Just at the mo- | ment it commenced, I could not for my life think _what it was, but the man with the razor seem- ed to realize in an instant what the matter was, |for he bad experienced a much more awful earthquake only five days before, and knew the ropes” well enough. no cogping out of | the shop, just as I entered the street, we had the same thing over again. and instantaneously the whole streets were filled with men, women and children, apparently in the greatest confu- sion, and frightened half out of their wits. I | noticed several of the women particularly who upon running out placed themselves at once in an altitude of prayer, and looked as though they feared it was the “ last of earth” with them.— | (They are all Catholics) Both of these quakes | were much lighter than the first one they had, | and I do not believe either of them did any dam. | age of consequence jn that place. But the first came very near laying the whole cey in ruins. ‘The custom-house, churches, stores and near- ly all the principal buildings were cracked so badly that many of them were considered dan- | gerous; some of which they were pulling down entirely, and repairing others as best they could. | We were there from that time till the afternoon _of the Saturday following ; but did not feel any other shock of an earthquake; and as for me [ | bope I never shall feel another. As tothe city itself, we saw nothing that was really beautiful about it.

All the way overhead, from one end of itto the other, there were large, lucious clusters of grapes hanging down, nearly the size of a common pitcher; while on either side there seemed to be an ac- ‘tual rivalry in growth and lururiance between the differen) vegetables and fruits. About half way up the walk, in a well shaded place, two middle aged men, dressed in long robes, and with books in their bands, were sitting on a bench, reading. Siill 1 stood at the gate a minute or two longer, wondering what all this could mean, no body seeing me and seeing no dody but the two men before me, who appeared to be absorbed with their books. ‘To go in I feared would not only be interrupting the ex- “treme quietude which seemed to prevail around; but a!so trespassing upon the private grounds of ‘those whom [ had no business tu disturb.

Finding our water was now beginning to give out, and that we should have to procure a fresh supply before we could reach Calfornia, we began to bend our course towards Valparaiso. On the second day before we reached this place, which was on Tuesday afternoon, the 8th of April, we found ourselves close in upon the coast of Chili, South of the city and harbor to which we were then bound ; and as we pass- ed along up the shore we had a magnificent view not only of its own high, barren hills, but also of the lofty and towering heights of the Andes at the distance of one hundred and forty-five miles in the interior. ‘To add to the grandeur of this spectacle on land, another now present. | ed itself on the ocean around us, in the form of “great whales’—the first we had seen.— We saw a greal many of these huge creatures that and the next day, aud one of them came within two or three rods of the stern of the ship and spouted the water with a noise something like that of a Mississippi steamboat.

One of the most appalling cases of Lynch Jaw that we have ever read of, is recorded in the last p@pers from California. It appears that the officers ofthe law have been exceeding. ly remiss in executing the laws against the gangs of villains with which the city of San Franciscv bas been infested ; and that, in con. * sequence, a “ Committee of Vigilance” was Gonslituted, composed of many of most respect. able merchants and others of the city. Very #00f & notorious thief was detected in a robbe- - ry, pursued, taken, with the. money in his pos session, turned over to this committee, by them tried, net openly, but in secret condemned to be executéd’ if one bour, and actually hanged in the eT in defiance of the efforts of the.police and wiany citizens who altempted 10 interfere, but were prevented by the number in favor of the summary proceeding, and by the threat to shoot down any who might attempt to réscue the condemned. - gif this as an act necessary to self preservation, “and as undoubtedly to be followed by other sim- ilar scenes. “The Coroner held an inquest over the body, and the following verdict was rendered :— “We, the jurors of a jury of inquest, empan- nelled by the coroner of the county of San Francisco, to inquire into the cause of the death of John Jenkins,; alias Simpton, do find that he came to his death on the morning of the 11th of June, between the hours of two and three o’ clock, by violent means, caused by suspending bythe neck with a rope attached to the south _ead of the adobe building on the plaza, at the hands of, and in the pursuance of a preconcert. ed action on the part of an association of citi- zens styling themselves a committee of vigi- lance, of whom the tollowing members are im- plicated by direct testimony, to wit: Capt. Ed. gar Wakeman, Wm. H. Jones, Jas. C. Ward, Edward A. King, T. K. Battelle, Benj. Rayn- olds, J. S. Eagan, J.C. Derby, and Samuel Branna. This was sigred by T. M. Leavenworth, fore. man, A. M. Comstock, J. C. Griswold, E. Kingsbury, W. J. Shaw, E Blair, Wm. Eddy, Jobn D. Gott, Frank Turk, jurors of inquest. A public meeting was held, by which resolu- tions were adopted to take steps tor organizing “the people’s” court for Lynching offenders.— A’ Mr. Broderick, formerly of New York, a member of the California Legislature, denounc- ed the whole proceeding, and was near sharing the fate of the robber. y - Afterwards, “ihe People’s Committee” pub- ished 2 card, and signed their names to it, so as to assume the responsibility of the act which the Coroner’s Jury bad fixed on a few persons only. ‘There were about 200 names signed. The Sana, Francisco papers speak only of riot and bloodshed in case any attempt is made to arrest any of the Committee. This is an awful occurrence, viewed in any light. ‘The failure to execute the laws by the civil authorities is a great evil.

Both the men were very wicked, but one had been in the church andturned out bad. The wife of this one went to him and kissed his cold and waning cheek, and said to him ; Wil- liam, you can’t live ; you must die—he turned to her and said: “Emma, bring here my little children.” She brought them to him, and he took each and kissed them, requesting them to remain with him until he died. They remained. He then expressed his doubts as to his future desti- ny. When Emma beard his muttering, moaning, and doubtful lamentations, she kneeled down and commenced praying for her dying husband. She must have been inspired at that heart rending scene. Her beauty, her wild strains of sweet voice, her language and her feeling style—were above all conception. ‘Thus the scene closed. Both the men died, living about ten hours from the time they were stab- bed. A New Orleans paper in allusion to the fact that a lady recently pleaded her own cause in a Paris court of justice, says: “ We never saw but one lady arguing a cause in our courts. It was Mrs. Gaines, who, in 1842, appeared in the First Dis- trict Court, [Judge Buchanan] accompa. ; nied by her gallant husband, in undress uniform, with a sword buckled to his side, It happened that Mrs. G.’s lawyers, be- | coming dissatisfied with some decision of | the court, retired from the case, where- upon the dignified veteran advanced to- wards the lawyer's table, leading his lady | by the band, and begged that the court would allow the lady to plead her own cause. The scene was quite an interest- ing one. There stood on one side an ar- ray of our oldest and most learned coun- sellors who were resisting the lady’s pre- tensions with al] their skill and ability, with a large battery of law-books lying before them. On the other side stood the bright-eyed, handsome little lady, and the erect and war-worn veteran, her gallant husband. The claim ofthe lady to be heard in her own case could not be de- | nied. She proceeded in her remarks, but soon became so piquantand personal that the Judge interfered, and begged her to confine herself to the argument. There- upon the gallant General arose, and, ima slow and measured style, stated that for everything that the lady should say he held himself personally responsible in ev- | to-day. _and the Hon. Timothy P. Redfield of Montpe- , that he will not be present at the appoint- €Y ment alluded to, nor preach in the county, ' and that he will leave this State for Ohio 'in a very short time. .A happy depar- ture !—Greensboro’ Pat., July 26.

It will pass between Mr. Macay’s | mill and mill-pond, through John Julian’s plantation, and on the ridge from there nearly direct to Samuel Owens’ planta- tion, 54 miles from this place. Thence as directly to Statesville-as the gountry will admit of. yThis ronte is 700 feet longer than the one*by Thomas Locke’s planta- tion, and will cost from three to-five hun- dred dollars more. But this additional cost, it was thought would be more than compensated for by the prospect of a plank road branch leading from Mocks- ville in the direction of Salisbury, inter- secting this road at Samuel Owens’. The importance given to the prospect of such a branch being constructed, seems 0 require some notice: It consisted of a pledge on the part of several gentlemen of Rowan, that they would bujld the road | to the Rowan and Davie Bridge across the South Yadkin river. For the con- struction of that part lying in Davie, there were no pledges made; but the Di- rectors entertaining the opinion ip that County cannot fail to take a lively inter- est in the project, thought fit to risk the difference between the first and second best routes of their survey, and take the route described. It now remains to be seen what Davie willdo. Whetherghe will second the move made in Rowan for this connection. We think we know Davie pretty well, and al- though we would not attempt to predict what she will do on this subject, yet we feel warranted in saying she is not less public spirited or enterprizing than Row- an. ’ We have been informed by the Presi- dent of this Company that the Contracts for grading will be let out as soon as the estimates are conmipleted, and the required notice given.

You may look out for Rowan somewhere about the head of the list, when figures and cubic yards are to be counted. Messrs.

Temperance—One of the brightest virtues of our Order ; no intemperate man can be a good Odd Fellow. 10.

A number of persons were called up during the reading of these toasts to respond to the sentiments they contained ; and these little off- hand effurts—bright sparks of witand humor— wére the chief ornaments of the occasion.— Who can gather them up?

The Health of New Orleans.—The New Orleans Bee publishes a report by Dr. Simonds, which shows beyond all doubt, that that is an unhealthy City. The Bee says: Dr. Simonds takes, for instance, a period of four years—from 1846 to 1850—and calculates the per-centage of mortality upon the average census returns of the city, State, and federal enumerations. He then compares the number of deaths with the annual mortality of various cities of the United States. Forexample: N. Orleans shows within the period indicated an average annual mortality of a littlesover eight per cent; Boston, 24; Lowell, 218; New York, nearly 3; Philadelphia, 2} ; Baltimore, nearly 24; Charleston, about the same ; Sa: vannah, over 4iper ceiit.. It follows, from these | statistics, that the mortality of New Orleans is nearly double that of Sav@nnah. two and four. fitths greater than that of New York, and more than Sree Wide + ne he ‘trampled.

The fact is, that the National Govern. meat is just so far from be tyrannical and op. pressive that we hardly feel its operation one way or the other.

It is clear, therefore, that edu- cation should be the great and absorbing object of the present state of our existence, and should be continued through life, or till we are, in the providence of God, de- prived of the powers to advance. Education should be diffused. It should not be confined to High Schools, Academic Groves, or to the halls of Universities; nor should it be confined to any class of citizens, or to any age or sex, but like the !'ght of the sun, it should pene- trate and illuminate every circle of society, and every condition of life. But how is this very desirable and important object to be accomplished ? By Common Schools? We answer not wholly,‘ by no means.

But how is this spirit of inquiry to be awakened, how are the slumbering energies of the soul to be roused into action, and how is the love of knowledge to be excited? ‘These are very grave and difficult questions, and our pen is suspended, for a while, motionless above the unimpressed paper, while thought 18 exploring the deep recesses of science and the human | intellect for a philosophic and practicable answer. We answer, that this must be done according to ot first by going out “ into the highways and hed lecturing the people publicly, or conversing familiarly around their firesides, by showing them the beauties and advantages of educttion, in every condi- tion of life, and in every branch of business: And, se condly, by making study attractive and pleasant. ‘To do this, knowledge must be conveyed chiefly through | the medium of the understanding.

Y virtueof a Decree of the Hon. the Court of Equi- ty in and for the County of Montgomery, I will, on the 14th day of August next, expose to Public Sale, to the highest bidder on the premises, (the residence of the Late Col. John Crump,) the very VALUABLE REAL ESTATE known as the NARROWS OF THE YADKIN, on the Montgomery side of the River, consisting of se- verable Tracts, containing 24 or 2500 acres in all. The Land including the buildings, improvements, and the Narrows, will be sold in the first place, and the se- veral surrounding Tracts afterwards, separately. This Land is valuable not only on aceount of the fer- tility and productiveness of the soil, being well adapted to the culture of Corn, Wheat, Cotton, Tobacco, &c., but also on account of the excellent FISHERY attach- ed to it at the Narrows, where a great number of Shad may be annually caught, and the Water Power afford- ed by the fall in the River at this place, which enter- prise and capital could make useful and profitable by the erection of Mills and Machinery of every descrip- tion, to any extent that might be desired. Besides these capital advantages, the situation is beautiful, romantic ae healthy ; in short, desirable in every point of view.

Although the contracts are taken in the names of each of these individuals, for convenience of business with the Direc- tory, yet.in nearly every instance other stockholders are associated, in greater or smaller nud§bers, according to the extent of contract’ We presume that nearly all the stock in the division is represented in the contracts. And notwithstanding the whole amount of contract cannot far ex- ceéd the whole amount of subscription, yet numbers of stockholders in each com- papy or association will pay their instal- ments in cash, so that the money pay- ments will at last be considerable. Already we hear the notes of prepara. tion for work ; and before long active up- erations will be going forward on every sectionin the divixion. Oar eastern friends must buckle fo the business, or we shall be “ahead of them. True, we have no great deal of cash to spare, and never promised much ; but we have any amount of hard work on hand and expect to lay it oat with right good will. The subscribers and contractors on this great work, we trust and believe, will en- joy the substantial encouragement of the whole community. Where is the being who will stand idly by, and mock, and speculate, and shake his head, and make evil prophecies, while the magnanimous and industrious citizens who have put their shoulfers to this work are pushing it forward to completion and nobly toiling for the benefit of all? It there be such, we do not know them. Many, it is true, Are not ina situation to do much; but they heartily wish well to the enterprise, and wil! be ever ready with a good word and a good turn for those who are at work. It is plain that the people have taken hold for “a long pull. strong pull, and a poll alltogether.” Success awaits the effort ! The immortal author of the motto * go ahead,” also said that in his hunting days he was always decided never to “ back out of the same hole he went in at”—a determination which had carried him tri- umphantly out of every scrape of bis life.

The following Jetter is from the French aod Foreign Bible Society, at Paris, in ac- knowledgment of the receipt of the dona. |, tion recently made by the American Bi- | ble Society to aid in the dissemination of } the Scriptures in France: “DearSiz: We hasten to acknowledge the receipt of your letter, dated March 17, enclosing a bill of exchange of 10,190 franes, being a part of your meetings.— We are deebly impressed with this token of Christian affection, and we ask your Committee to receive our most sincere ac- knowledginents. We are no less deligh- ted in considering it as a fresh token of your sympathy with us, that you have de. termined to send a Delegate to meet with as, at our next anniversary, which is to be held in May. “During the year about to be closed, we were enabled todisplay a prettygood degreeof activity inthe various branches | of eur, work. Our faithful colporteurs have: been prosecuting their daily task with much zeal and devotedness, and, we are ‘happy to add, with a good amount of encouragement... Those wholabour in the metropolis and its vicinity have been par- ticularly active and blessed in their Ia- bours. They still continue visiting the redoubts which encircle our city and the numerous barracks in the vicinity, and have circulated a good number of copies among the soldiers and their officers ; and as they were enabled frequently to visit these places, and to have much inter- _ course with the military »nen, they were enabled to observe that much of the pre- cious séed bas fallen into a well prepared ground, and produced cheering results.— Wemust add. that the commanding offi- cers were generally fovourable to the Ia- bours of “our colporieurs, and without difficulty allowed them to visit the bar- racks*» “Bat the year bas heen to them one of trials, as well as encouragement. The Romisb priesthood are striving to exert an jofluence over our ation, and in that they are.aided by civil authorities. They try their utmost to counteract the circula- tion of the Holy Scriptures. Our colpor- teurs bave had moch to suffer from that quarter. . They. haves been exposed ‘to many annoyances and vexations. But y compensated for the hatred ot rand their votaries. Out peo. erally evince a cheérifig willing- st the Word of God, and € generally ready to welcome our ¢ol- ; pees We commend our work to your Christian affection, and beg an interest your prayers. -. _ The follo Peat PY ae eae: ’ ceived yesterday from a Jady, aecompan- ied with a graceful appeal to our editori- al courtesy, to give it an insertion. No- thing givesus more pleasure than to oblige the dear creatures, particularly when they are young and good looking ; bat even if we had been dis beauty of the penmanship would at once have put usin the most accommadating mood. Nothing sooner overpowers a youth of sensibility than the pretty handwriting of a pretty woman. With due deference, however, to our correspondent, we must be permitted to express our ‘extreme surprise at some items of intelligence contained in her com- munication. It is the first intimation we have had that the “ bust or bosom” of the sweeter sex was migrating to our own; but astonishing as this is, it is nothing in comparison with the fearful announce- ment that by the close of the present year, there will be a complete change of sexes. What a strange state of things will have been brought about, when vigorous dray- men are forced to advertise for situations as wet nurses, and delicate damsels com- pelled to seek employment upon our rail- roads and canals, We sincerely hope, that in this general transmigration, we may be so fortunate as to escape any change in our sexual condition, and that those most dear to us may be equally lucky. There is one expression of Miss Leta’s which we do not precisely comprehend. We can’t see how, in the change we un- dergo from tadpoles to frogs, the incipi- ency must necessarily commence in our vests. We hope Miss Leta will clear up all our doubts and give us a satisfactory explanation of this new principle of mi- gration. To the Editors of the Whig: THE MYSTERY SOLVED. I have scarcely looked into a paper for the last month without seeing articles headed as follows: “The Last Pas de Bloomer,” * The Tadpole Dress,” * The Tomboy Habit,” * The place for married Ladies,” * Woman’s Rights Convention.” As the sexes have been rendered some- what questionable by the migration of what belonged exclusively to the females, namely, the bust or bosom to the males ; the ladies think it possible that the change of sexes may be completed by the first of next year, and are gradually accustoming themselves to the male attire. They are greatly indebfed to their male friends for their kindness in furnishing them with so appropriate a name as the “ Tadpole Dress,” and will return the compliment by giving itto both sexes, for they are virtually tadpoles turning to frogs; the gentlemen beginning in their vests. “© O, rock the cradle Lucius.” The reson for the ladies forming a ‘ Wo- man’s Rights Convention, is to accustom themselves to business habits before the care of the Union devolves upon them. Poor gentlemen, you must not be very vain the first time a female Tadpole pays her addresses to a male Tadpole, but re- member she is only practicing by the time the change is completed, for the ane tads do not intend to be discarded as the male female tads have been. LETA. ) Ree pete AMERICAN BIBLE SOCIETY. The Board held its monthly meeting on Thursday, 3d inst., Hon. Luther Bradish in the chair, assisted by Hon. A. B. Has- brouck. : The Scriptures were read by the Rev. Mr. Stanton of New Orleans. Eight new societies were recognised aS auxiliaries: one in Maine. two in Ohio, two in Illinois, one in Minnesota, and two in Georgia. Letters were read from the Mission a- mong the Sioux, from Panama, from Lon- don, France. India and China. From Nerthern India was received a well prin- ted copy of Genesis and Exodus, in Hindi, from the press of the Presbyterian Mis- sionat Allahabad. To the mission at Ahmednuggur was granted $1,000 to-| wards publishing the Mabratta Sciptures. It was pleasing to learn that amidst all the disturbances in France, there is a growing demand for the Scriptures. Or- dinary booksellers find a call for them, and sell not less than six hundred copies per month in Paris in addition to what is done by the various Bible societies. The receipts of last month amounted to $23,008 73, and the issues of Bibles and Testaments to 68,128.— Bible R ecord.

J. F. CHAMBERS & CO. Salisbury, March 2 EAGLE ILLS! HERE is a fair prospect a Company of North- ern Mechanics and Manufacturers settling on the Eagle or South Eagle Tract. The South Eagle Tract is adjoining the Eagle,on both of which is a splendid water power of great force. I havea beautiful piece of Land in the South Eagle Tract which I propose to lay off in small lots of one fourth of an acre each, for the ac- commodation of Merchants, Doctors, and Mechanics. All such persons would do well to give this rising place due attention. “ There is a tide in the affairs of men Which, taken at its flood, Leads on to” happiness and wealth. Here is a chance. Capitalists would also do well to look this way. Ineeda little help to carry on more suc- cessfully, the enterprises in which I am engaged and on which I propose to enter. I am steadily progressing, however, though slowly, with my original schemes, to wit: the erection of Factories for spinning cotton and wool, and for calico printing. But as I advance the prospect opens up, and invites to larger and more fruitful fields. This Jocation for manufacturing purposes and for a Town. is very favorable. It is near enough to the great Central Rail Road, and in a very healthy region of Country. I will sell Jots privately on the most favorable terms to suit purchasers. The water power on the South Eagle Tract, is immense, and capable of driving almost any amount of Machinery. Early applications either for lots or an interest in the present or proposed enterprises will receive the most favorable offers. 3m4 ANDREW RAGGARLY. Tredell Couniy, N.

Mr. Reddick has some eigh- ty cabins for the accommudation of families vis- ing the sprivg in a furward state of comple- tion. About a mile North of the village, on a bluff the Dan, is a deposite of lime stone.

Some ofthe men pace up and down rapidly at every turn, casting their eager glanc. es at a shut door, outside of which stands a ser- | vant with his bands filled with cards ; for each visitor as he came up handed his card, till the | attendant holds a pile of fifty, laid in regular or. der.

May abolitionism ty him “the Abolitionist, Fillmore,” and de- nounce him as wanting in fidelity to the rights of the South ! Reader, the truth lies between these two extremes. President Fillmore has plant. ed himself on the Constitution of the Uni- ted States, and is determined fo preserve that sacred instrument inviolate. That Constitution is a barrier to these extrem. ists. Which they would gladly beat down. But there stands Mr. Fillmore, sustained by millions of Union men. How natural, | well settled in our mind as that Eccles is | profession. | P.S.

The day after the deed was signed, the old | negro met my informant, who, observing down | cast look, inquired of him the cause. - Oh,’ | said he, ‘that dreadful law, master! I[ have sold out every thing, and, am going to Can. ada.’ ‘The old fellow absolutely trembled from | head to foot, so greatly had his fears been | wrovght upon ; and so much did the thought of | leaving his comfortable home, and he knew not whither,troubled him. The gentleman drew from him all that had taken place, and not only discovered that he already lamented what he had done and knew not how to undo, but that although once a slave, he was free, and had still in bis possession his free papers. The matter became noised about, and crea. ted no little excitement; and from fear of the consequences, our very philanthropic specu. lator in lands and negro sympathy was made to disgorge his ill gotten acquisition, but not until the negro had given him ten dollars in cash, a two year old heifer and fat hog, as a consideration for breaking the bargain. | The above is every word true, showing how hollow-hearted and selfish are many of those | who would not only rob the slaveholder of his | property, but fileh from the free negro his hon. | estly acquired gain. ‘The fact is, the real ab | olitionist bas got above law, andin the lan. | guage of scripture, has been given over to be lieve a lie, that he may be damned.

Eviton—A ceriain ‘animal Such will ever be the fate of pretenders, who afféci a wisdom and a power above what is wrilten; and by stratagem become their own carvers, and attempt to make a human work stride over the revelations of God. Such was the fate of Matthias, the impostor, such of he fate of Jo. Smith, the | Mormon, and White, the fanatic, and such would have | been the fate of Sobriety, if he had followed the tracks of his first foot-prints, and had not partly covered him- self with the regalia of the true Order—the Church. It is true D is no Cesar, or Napoleon, neither is So- | briety a Brutus, or a Wellington; they both wielded swords: Sobriety snatches up that mightier instrament | of mightier men, a trusty goose quill, plucked from his goes forth a reformer, to war ) with the world, the flesh and the “ devil,” with king .Al- | cohol at the head: — And TePe Sigail more in one brief ca Than heavefs own bol He comes like a seco the world upside down, mpaign, ts through centuries have slain. nd Martin Luther, to turn the | and blow out with a single breath | es of hell,” as has been eloquent. | ly expressed by one of your temperance correspodents. | Martin held the Bible in his hand, and struck at the Pa pal supremacy, and made Rome shake to the centre.— Sobriety holds the Constitution and By-Laws of the Or- der in his hand, and by a side lick strikes at Protestant- ism; and nobody shakes but himself. Martin freed the Church from the corruptions and interpolations of man, Sobriety believes that the Order ‘is auxiliary to the Church,” or in other words, that the discovenes of man should be added to the revelations of God, and have equal, if not superior efficacy. The one said he would pposed by as many devils as there 8: the other has been checked in his career by one, who he only imagines a “ devil.’ | The one whtn he reached Worms demanded the Diet to try his opinions by the W gat que audit, and with broth as anti-christian all who do not regulate their conduct by his standard. ‘The one liberated the human mind— | the other permits you to think as you please, always provided you think like him!

Such is a slight contrast between the great reformer of 1851 and 1518, the immortal Luther, and the mortal Sobriety uy Let us now glance at the standards of the one, and then at the other, and see if others cannot make com- parisons as significant as Sobriety. Let us put the Bible and Luther in one scale, and the Order and Sobriety in the other, and see which will kick the beam. The Bible says: +* Blessed be ye poor, for yours is the kingdom of God,” “to the poor the gospel is preachad”’; the Order says: “* We admit no one who is in any way incapacilated trom earning a livelihood, or who has no visible means of support.” Here is a distinction which Sobriety has not even attempted to justify, a cruel se- verity which is as far removed from an enlightened phi- lantbropy as from the exainple and precepts of Christ. Why did not Sobriety “ face this music,” and show its | harmony with the Gospel. The tune selected I suppose would grate harsh thunder on his refined taste even if warbled by the Swedish nightingale! I should like to hear Sobriety chant in hoarse rvutterels the language of Christ: * Wo unto you that are rich ! for ye have re- ceived your consolation,” and then the language of the Order: ** Wo unto you who are poor! for ye Can never enter my door.” It is written: «4 Why do ye eat and drink with publi- cans and sinners?” Jesus answered: « They that are whole need no physician: but they that are sick.” The Order says: the whole need the physic, but the sick must find it elsewhere, and when cured, we are then prepared to administer a few sweats or a few dos- es of number six, or perhaps the modern Sangrado's mav fill the stomach with eold, instead of warm water. The Bible says: « Come buy without money or with- out price,” the Order says: Come! but be sure to bring two dollars with you ‘your initiation fee,) and five cents, your regular weekly dues. St. Peter tells us that false teacners through covetousness shall with feigned words make merchandize of Many, and are not afraid to speak | evil of dignities. St. Philip has made merchandize of and has not only spoken slanderous! but of every body else, was tiles on the house erly affection denounces | y of dignities, | who would not join in his crusade. ! Sus to visit the sick, and to ren- | ery assistance in our power; the Order Says: | even ty Our members, ** aid can be denied or allowed as the Division may deem expedient and proper.” The Bible says: “thou shalt bestow that money for whatever thy soul lusteth after, for oxen, for sheep, for } wine, or for strong drink”; the Order says, you shall not | ‘“make, buy, sell, or use, asa beverage, any spirituous | or malt liquors, wine or cider.” ~The Bible says: “Wine maketh glid the heart of man, and wine cheerech God | and man.” Christ turned water into Wine at the mar- riage in Cana of Galilee. St. Luke saya: « the Son of | man Is Come eating and drinking, and ye say, behold a gluttonous man and a wine bibber, a friend of publicans | and sinners.” St. Philip or Sobriety would probably | make the same exclamation if Christ was now on earth | engaged in his mission of love and mercy. ‘Their noses | would become quite indignant if the friend of publicans | and sinners should pass between the wind and their no- bility. I have not time to set forth, in full, all the simi- | lar passages of Scripture, but would refer Sobriety to 2 | Samo, 175 19,1620 0 Chron 12,39,40; Neh. 5,18; | Esth. 1, 7,8; Prov. 31, 6,7 ; Eccl. 9,7; Isa. 62, 8, 8 | Eph. 5, 138; Eccl. 2, 24, 3, 13, 8—15; Amos 9, 14. Sobriety says: “ We believe our principles accord with the teachings of the Old and New Testament ”: if so, why on his own principles should he desire any oth- | erway. Christ says, “I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the father, but by me.” If two roads lead to one place and one is supplied with plain | finger boards, and has long been known, and the other | has beembut new cut and full of stumps and ruuners, and | the finger boards are badly lettered and spelled, why tra- | vel the new instead of the old? Why ineur the expense | of cutting and keeping in repair two roads when one is sufficient for aj! passengers? ‘The laboring oar isin your | hands ; Sobriety and you cannot by trick, shift it into | mine. Iam satisfied with the Bible andthe Charch, you | have set up forareformer. Ihold that systems ‘“ long established should not be changed for light and transient causes;” you have assumed that the old ladies of the country have heretofore taught customs contrary to the Bible, and that you are the only true expositor. Itis for | you to make good your pretensions, or you should doff the regalia and sport the Bloomer! You first assumed that the different branches of the Church had proved delin- quent on the subject of temperance ; it is for you to show that the Order possesses some talisman against delinquen- Cy not possessed in common with the Church. You now | say the principles of the Order and the Bible are the Saine y itis for vou to make out your case by proof. You have changed your positions, and if I believed you were So Cunning in fence, as to sacrifice candor in combat for victory, instead of truth, then as Nir Andrew Aquecheek saith, I had seen you damned ’ere [had fought.” In such a conflict even the eagle could stand no chance with the * mousing owl”! I am no advocate for intemperance as I have said time after time, but [ say (and I believe I will be sustained by reason and revelation) that the nse of a thing is not sy- nonymous with its abuse. If White or Sobriety think differently, it is no business of mine so Jong as they stand on their own legs, and trespass not on the nghts and feel- ings of their neighbors. I see but one step between say- ing what LT shalk not do, and what I shall do; and if an individual is to have his character attacked by a hire- ling lecturer, and every anonymous seribbler with impu- nity, because his conduct is regulated by a different rule from theirs, then I say our rights of conscience and our freedom of opinion is but a mockery. The power is only wanting to erect the stake and light the fagot. Sobriety talks about “irefy! denunciation,” Jet him look on his prototype White, and see if he has not at- tempted to copy the original. | He says “he supposed I intended at first to prove that | the Order was manifestly and radically wrong.” I am not &ccountable for his suppositions, but it is strange that he should have supposed any such thing, if he read my first communication.

A large meeting was held some weeks since at the Mechanics’ Hall, at which the following resolutions were adopted : Resolved, That the painful develop-| ment of thg last few months, withiu the limits of our beloved city, by which the | jntimate connection between inebriety | and the most daring and fiendish deeds has | been established, call on us with a voice too potent to be disregarded, for action— | for action, self-protection, and the recov- | ery of lost good fame. Resolved, That the use of intoxicating | drinks is promoted or diminished in pro- | portion to the ease or the difficulty with | which drinks can be procured by the peo- | ple; that the multiplication of places for | the sa A number of fires rum trade. fe of such drinks multiplies drink: | ers and drunkards, while the abolition of | dram shops and rum places, carries away with then® drunkenness and the vices. which grow out of it. Therefore, Resolved, That we call upon our Com. | mon Council to put forth their whole strength to suppress this traffic, in all its | various places of lodgment in our midst. | Resolved, As the sense of this meeting, | That the greatest efforts and unwearied | labors, should be constantly made by ev- | ery man and woman, and especially by | all physicians and clergymen, in behalf of | the Temperance cause, until not a person | among us can be found using, in any form, such destroyers of soul and body. | Says the Teetotaller: | “ Altogether it was one of the most | gratifying and decided expressions of the | people against the liquor trade and its ef- | fects we have witnessed inthe city. Its| influence will be felt. and we look upon it as an earnest of the ‘good time com- ing’ when licensed intemperance and | crime shal] be unknown in our midst.” | UTICA—GLORIOUS TRIUMPH. The Common Council of this rum al- | flicted city, at their late meeting as @ Board of Excise. came to the wise con-) clusion to grant no license. Several gen- | tlemen were prepared to speak on the | subject, but there was no need of that. On the organization of the Board, Al- derman Lee moved that the Board of, Exeise do now adjourn sine die. The | ayes and nays were called and the motion | carried—9 ayes to 3 nays. The effect of this motion, says the Tee- totaller, is to cut off all licenses for the current year! As the Board adjourned sine sie, they cannot legally meet again | for. one year. The moral of this ne things “in Utica is the withdrawal of the public and Jegal sanction of the trafhic. and thus making the bad business unlaw- | ful as itis in reality inherently wicked and destructive. It puts the dealers upon their good manners, and affords them an oppor- tanity to evince their regard for law and order, if they have any. They will sell, | if they sell at all, under a liability which the laws of the land suspend over them. And with all good citizens this will be sofficient to dry up the fountains of death | and. corruption which have heretofore been open freely to all, and doing their destructive work.

For a few moments we both remained silent. She had sunk into a profound revery, and my feelings forbade me to interrupt her.

Do not impute my | sulicitude as impertinent, as | am only actua ted by a desire for your welfare.’ ‘The unreserved candor with which, unask. ed, I have laid my sorrows before you, should convince you, my friend, what reliance I place | on your honor.’ ‘And is it not yet possible to effect a recon- ciliation between you and your betrayer.— Could [not by expostulation induce him to ren. der you, at least, justice—that he should give you his name, and remove the stigma that rests upon your fame ?’ ‘Never,’ she hurriedly iterated ; ‘for altho’ once [ idolized this man, now I despise and de. lest him. me in my just revenge on the destrover of my peace and fame ; for, said she, with determined energy, * he shall not long triumph in his career of crime.” ‘In what manner do you propose to accom. plish this.’ ‘As I find it impossible to prevent his pro. posed union with the present intended victim of bis cupidity, unless | should expose myself, I have conceived a bold but not chemical pro- ject.

I had retired to my chamber in the St. Louis Hotel, afler having dined, when I heard a tap at ny door, and on opening it an individual of military air stalked consequen, tially into my presence. ‘Do I have the bonor to address Mr. C.—?’ I bowed acquiesence, and proffered a chair.

I hastened to Matilda and informed her of what had occurred. She appeared elated at the success of her projects and schemes. Her eyes emitted an unwonted Justure, and’ I imagined that she betrayed the germs of incipient insan- ity io her manner. ‘ Thanks, my warmest thanks, for your friend. ly aid. Now will I satiate the outraged feel- ings that have been weighing me down by inch. es, tothe grave. Now will I bring to the dust the auther of my wrongs—the heartless liber. | tine, whose soul harbors no feeling of honor or virtue.’ ‘Compose yourself Matilda; you need all your calmness, all your nerve, in the meeting of to-morrow night.’ ‘Do not fear me,’ she replied; ‘I will not be found lacking when the moment of revenge arrives.’ CHAPTER III. It was a beantiful night. The moon shone with its richest effulgence, and a cool breeze Alt panied by a surgeon and myselt, were at the specified rendezvous. Matilda was unusually silent, and the surgeon and myself conversed | on various topics foreign to the melancholy bu- siness in hand. We had not long to awail ere the belligerent party were on the ground. We silently saluted our antagonists, and Mr. W and inyself, as seconds, marked off the ground, and placed the combatanis in their position.— Belore placing the deadly weapons in their hands, Mr. W asked me if there was no way to compromise the difficulty, and stated quired. 1 inlortned bim that my principal would render no apology, and each awaited for the word to fire.

HOW TO PRESERVE THE UNION. “ But the constitution cannot be main- tained, nor the Union preserved in oppo- sition to public feeling, by the mere exer- tion of coercive powers confided to the |general government. The foundations must be laid in the affections of the peo- ple; in the security it gives to life, liberty, character & fraternal attachments which the citizens of the several States bear to one another as members of one _ political family, mutually contributing to promote the happiness of each other. Hence. the citizens of every State should studiously avoid every thing calculated to wound the sensibility or offend the just pride of the people of the other States: and they should frown upon any proceedings within their own borders likely to disturb the tran- quility of their political brethren in other ‘portions of the Union. In a country so | extensive as the United States, and with pursuits so varied, the internal ragula- tions of the several States must frequen- tly differ from one another in important | principles; and this difference is unavoid- ably increased by the various principles upon which the American colonies were originally planted—principles which had taken deep root in the social relations be- fore the revolution, and therefore of ne- cessity influencing their policy since they became free and independent States.— ‘Bat each State has the unquestionable | right to regulate its own internal concerns, according to its own pleasure ; and while it does not interfere with the rights of the Union, every State must be the sole judge | of the measure proper to secure the safe- ‘ty of its citizens, and promote their hap- _piness; and all efforts on the part of the | people of the other States to cast odium | upon their institutions, and all measures calculated to disturb their rights of pro- | perty, or to put in jeopardy their peace | and internal tranquility, are direct oppo- | sition to the spirit in which the Union was ‘formed, and must endanger its safety.— Motives of philanthropy may be assigned ‘for this unwarrantable interference ; and { la moment that they are laboring in the /cause of humanity, and asserting the rights of the human race ; but every one | upon sober reflection, will see that noth- |ing but mischiet can come {rom these im- | proper assaults upon the feelings and rights ‘of others. ‘found busy in this work of discord. are /not worthy of your confidenee, and de- ‘serve your strongest reprobation,”—Ex- tract from the furewell address of General | Jackson.

All wellas all the enemies of liberty, and all the unbelievers in the capacity of man to govern | ‘himself in the Old World, are praying, and have been since our government was formed, | for a dissolution, a secession among the States, as that would destroy the American Govern. ment, and with it perish all hopes of liberty.— | When our government was first formed these | classes all predicted that the States wouid di vide, quarrel, secede and finally get into a civil war, which would terminate their career.

It is true the two great States of Ohio and Pennsylvania have spoken in favor of General Scott for the Presidency in 1852. But there appears to be no doubt but that Virginia is de- cidedly in favor of Milliard Fillmore. And pres. ent appearances would indicate that the Empire State is rapidly coming up to his support. * * * * * * We see no good reason why every Whig in the Union and every lover of his country may not give this exalted patriot and statesman hie enthusiastic support.—His wisdom, his pra- dence, his foresight, and his unswerving integ- rity have robbed those who were pledged to ‘op- pose the Administration, right or wrong, to the bitter end,’ of their poisoned weapons, and con- verted them into friends and admirers. Miiliard Fillmore is carrying out the true Whig doctrine of non. in/erference with the leg. islation of Congress. He throws the responsi- bility of making laws on the law making pow. ‘er. From him we have heard of no dictation | of Congrese as to the character of the laws they | should enact. No threatening of the exercise of the kingly prerogative of the veto power if they should venture to adopt measures contrary ‘to his wishes. He has confined his action to a strict discharge of his constitutional duties as ithe Executive of this great Republic. Con- gress has been fully informed by him of the ‘condition of the country, with all its varicus in- terests, and of our foreign relations. That body / has enacted such laws as the wisdom of its / members dictated. and tbe President bas given them a prompt aud energeticesecution. On ibis account both the friends and the enemies ‘of the late Compromise measure can give bim | a hearty support, because he does not, and a Whig President cannot, divest Congress of its sovereignty as the legislative power of the coun- ‘try.

Alfew days since we had one or (wo tele- reports concerning a certain Anti-Slave- ry Convention that was theo sitting at Chics- go, Ill., whereat sundry things were said and done understood to be curious enough in their way, but things which the telegraph, with that necessary brevity which forms 80 indispensa- & feature in that method of tranemitting In- tellig hardly let us know anything sbout. It is. ¥ery probable tbat the operator or corres: nee concluded that, as the country b seen somany Anti-Slavery Conventions of late, the public could very well afford to dispense with the wearisome platitudes which it appears characterized the gathering at Chicago. How. ever, we now find that their proceedings, as re- ed in sume of the Illinois papers, were of so peculiar a characier as to deserve some at- tention, and the more especially so as the ac- tiva of the Convention was designed to have a ral influence in the Northern churches of all denominations. [i is well tbat churchmen and the church in our meridian should be ap- prised-of what the Politico-Religionists of Chi- cago require them to do. The Cohtention was composed entirely of clergymen, as we are assured by the editor of the Prairie Herald, a Presbyterian journal, whose editor fps adelegate. Clergymen made the speeches, Bonstituted the majority of the principal committees, and prepared the reports ; jg @ word, clergymen guided and controlled the entire action of the body. It was understood, previously, the Convention was to have nothing io. do with the slave question in a political or party point of view. The question was to be discussed in its moral bearings only, and some of the more simple-minded and unsuspecting of the clergy had gone there in the expectation ‘that, whatever the Convention would conclude to do, was to be done in the church, not out of * it, That is to say, tbe field of exertion should be in the pulpit, and nowhere else. ‘The cur- tain, however, was soon drawn aside, disclos- ing the real intenttone of the actors ; the most prominent and noisy of whom (we have a Pres- byterian clergyman for our authority) declared ai once that the only remedy for the evil they were called upon tu deal with was secession, social and religious secession,—a separation of Northern churches that are found divided upon the question atissue. ‘The old organizations were denounced as corrupt, apostate, hopeless, and must be destroyed. War to the utmost was laimed against all those organizations which, in their view, sustained slavery. In that catalogue were placed first and foremost the Old and glew School Presbyterian church- es; next, all who correspond and commune with them ; including, of course, all the Con. gregational churches of New England and N. York, all the Convention churches of Wiscon. sia, and the churches belonging to the Associ- ations of Illinois, Iowa, and Michigan. Espe- cially was the war proclaimed against all the older Missionary Boards and benevolent asso. ciations, including the A...erican Board of For- eign Missions, the Home Missionary Society, the American Tract Society, the American Sunday School Union, and, by inference, the American and Foreign Christian Union. We use the term war here, because it is the word which expresses the true idea that was sought to be enforced. There was no talk of curing —ijt was to come out—secede from—destroy. Come out of her, my people,” was quoted over and over again, as applicable to this case.— The openly avowed aim of the Convention was to tear down old organizations, and construct anew. The black plank was to have a place with the white one, and, in short, nothing was said that did not fully come up to the most ultra negropholism of the day. We choose, now, to let the editor of the Herald (the Presbyterian clergyman, remember, silling as a delegate in the Coavention) describe the remainder of these delectable duings in his own way :— fo w b c Vv e t t “The Presbyterian churches were invoked to leave the old organizations, and join the Free Synod. The Congregational churches must cease correspondence and communion with Presbyterians, and if they would not do this, the pure must come out and build again. They most cease giving, too, to these * pro-slavery mission organizations,’ and give to the Ameri- can Missionary Association, and, as soon as possible, fur other benevolent efforts. ‘The whole system of things must be chan, 4; and changed at once. * One member took the ground that the N. S. Presbyterian church wore one of the marks of the Beast. Another called it the great dra. gon, which drew away the third of the stars with his tail; the two Presbyterian churches were called ‘ Ships of Perdition,’ and they were declared over and over again as hopelessly cor- rupt, and apostate, and past all hope of retorm. The same assertions were made of Mission Boards. President Blanchard read a letter which had been written to the Home Mission So. ciety, 1o show how they had been labored with, and that there was no lurther hope of reform. The Tract and Bible Societies and S. S, Union were denounced by name as wedded to and supporting slavery. In fact, there were to be new priaciples, new measures, and new men to carry (hem out. “It was expressly stated by two members, that one who communes with a slaveholder be- come a partaker of bis sins, and a third person who communes with a second is also a partak. er, and so on, as one of the speakers said, down to the ° fiftieth person.’” The religiqus portion of the Illinois press— the press whose conductors best know the real character and motives of the actors at Chicago —appear mortified that such a discreditable Convention of men calling themselves clergy- men and Christians should have been held with. in the borders of that State. The editor of the Prairie Herald, indeed, goes so lar as to dis. own them allogether. He says it was only an Abolition emigrating party. from the black dis- tricts of Ohio. ‘The only one of the clergymen of Chicago who acted with the Convention was Rev. A. M. Stewart, of the Scotch Presbyteri- an church, There were but few members from Jowa, Wisconsin, Michigan, or Northera In- diana, we are assured. ‘The spirit and tone of the meeting were not of [llinois, nor the North. west. The real acting convention was from the State of Obio, The body known as the Free Synod of that State, and clergymen of the Oberlin connection, were here in great num- bers, with their strongest men. ‘The Ohio mem- bere with few exceptions, constituted the soul of the meeting, shaped its business, imparted | its tone, and did the speaking, and, in fact, made the convention.

We answer, first, that to the best of our knowledge and belief, Mr. Holmes, the fool- killer, is not located in these parts; that he has no permanent abiding place, his business requiring that he should itinerate to and fro over the face of the earth and walk up and down in it continually ; in short, that he isthe individual that struck Billy Patterson.

Patriot. THE TRUTH. From a 4th of July article, in a Hartford pa- per, pointing out certain things which we the people lack in this, “the greatest country on the face of the airth,” we take the following : We need, as a nation, more personal virtue —a greater individual subjection to law.— Crime is becoming too common amongst us.— Laws are yearly becoming less stringent and efficacious in putting down vice. A disregard to that elevated standard of pure public morals, which once was our glory and our safeguard, is becoming more powerful every day. By the destruction of public morality, the loss of public industry and thrift will follow. While we are manifesting to other nations the apparent in- fluences of a free Government, our own condi- tion will too surely become the freedom of li- centiousness, not oflaw. Amidst such a de- terioration of public morals, we soon shall feel the influence of the demagogue, who can much more readily control the vicious and the de- praved thao the upright and pure. ‘The influ- ence of the demagogue, with his coruptions, will float us surely to the brink of the cataract that bas engul; bed every former rupublic ; for the demagogue and the military deapot, in a na- tion like ours, are but succeeding steps of that same downward progress, (C7 Junius Smith writes from South Carolina on the 4th of July that he was enjoying-a.cup of tea from plants of bis own raising.

In the official report of the proceedings of the Charleston Anti-Secessig# meeting, (a past of which we published on fers) allusion was made to ‘a resolution offesed by a Mr. Catroll, which was gp objectionable, in ité character that the,meeting refused to entertain it. The report did not contafh the Rosolution nor de- fine its precise meaning, but characterized its introduction as an “unwarrantable interfer- ence ” with the real object proposed to be ac- complished by those who had been most in- strumental in calling together this large assem- blage of the people. The Standard, aid Anti- Secession Organ, condemned with some sever- ity Mr. Carroll’s course, and charged that he designed toconvey a palpable sneer upon the patriotism of those who had signed the call for the meeting. Mr. Carroll comes out the next day in a communication in which he denies the the allegations, and appends the resolution he had offered as evidence that he could have been influenced by no such design. The Mercury takes up the cudgels in his behalf, and express- es supreme surprise how the meeting could have ‘committed the unaccountable indiscre- tion of treating it with contempt.” Here it is: Resolved, That while we cannot believe our sister States of the South will submit, for any considerable time, to the recent aggressions of the Federal Government upon their rights, and while we have full faith in their intentions to co-operate with each other for the vindication of those rights, we nevertheless declare that to South Carolina is due the allegiance of each of her citizens, and that much as we deprecate her separate secession from the Union, under existing circumstances, yet should her constitu. ted authorities resolve upon such a measure, we shall then hold it TREASON in any son of hers to oppose such determination. We must confess our surprise, though at the same time our extreme gratification, that such a disposition should have been made of it. It certainly does indicate the existence of a healthier tone of public sentiment than we have been accustomed to look for even in Charleston. The doctrine that the only allegiance due from a South Carolinan is to his own State, and that the majority have the absolute power of control we had supposed, met with the almost univer. sal assent of the people. We are glad there- fore that a meeting of compromising much of the intelligence and virtue of the capital of the State should have rebuked so wild and absurd a heresy. Admit the doctrine in its full force, and any State government may become little better than an oppressive despotism. Heretofore the advocates of immediate seces- sion have encouraged the idea, that whatev- er difference of opinion might exist in regard to the policy of this move, yet should it be de. termined on by a majority of the people, all dis- sension would at once be healed, and the ut. most unanimity of feeling and purpose prevail throughout the State. The opponents, too, of secession have generally yielded their assent to these bold assertions, and rarely, if ever, took any painsto deny them. In this way the belief has become common that the decision of the mere majority would control the destimies of the State, and affect, most sensibly. the con- dition of the other parts of the Confederacy.— The action however of the Charleston meeting will go far to dispel this illusion. It has posi- tively repudiated the doctrine thatit is treason to the State to refuse to sustain the act of a mere majority, no matter how presumptuous and per- nicious that action may be. This but confirms us in the idea we have for some time entertain- ed, that when the crisis arrives, the State will have to conquer one half of its own population before it can successfully make war upon the ballance of the Union. The Charleston Mercury, the organ of the fire-eaters, is evidently alarmed at the indica- tions which the rejection of Mr. Carroll’s reso- lution very naturally afforded. It winds up a tretful and rather doleful article with the tollow- ing significant paragraph “Are we not justified, then, in inferring that there is in this movement an element of no small force that endangers its fidelity to the principles it has avowed, and even threatens to undermine its reverence for the allegiance which the citizen owes to his State? We trust there is intelligence and patriotism enough in the party to save it from so disastrous a result.” fy ‘ 3 t f ’ r 8 f I Mr. Calhoun.—As several misstatements have appeared, as relates to the alleged dona. tion of money to Mr. Calhoun, we copy the fol. lowing from the Southern Press, as containing, State is beginning to results are being ascertai District there was no opposition, and con- sequently. no excitement.

There is no doctrine when rightly un- derstood by the people, more odious and repulsive than this. The idea of dissolv- ing the Union of these States, and plung- ing the country in a civil war appears to | strike the peaceful, contented portion of | both sections of the country, with horror ; and well it might, for they are the ones” who will have to suffer most, not only in | the safety of their person, but also in de- struction of property.

And Mr. Cal- houn refused to accept the gift. After his death it appeared that some thirty thousand dollars of the money had already been subscribed and paid—and it was offered successively to the four sons of Mr. Calboun for the benefit of bis estate, and was by each of them refused. It is a mistake that either Mr. Calhoun or his es- tate was embarrassed. His property, on his death, was worth about one hundred and fifty e thousand dollars. and his debt due some bank {in South Carolina, was only about twenty-five n thousand.

But as the money, to the amount of e thirty thousand dollars, had been paid up by d his friends, they, on the refusal of his sons to s e e ay { [t accept it, forwarded a check for the amount to \ his widow,—stating that it could not, without eat inconvenience, be restored to the con- | tributors, some of whom, perhaps, were un- known. So she accepted it. But her sons had before taken care that she should be en. tirely independent ; for they released to her, in fee simple, the mansion property, the Fort Hill estate, which was amply sufficient to sup- port her in the luxuries of life. g The Compromise Measures at the North. —It is now (says the Troy Whig) about ten months since the compromise meas- ures went into operation. In spite of the great efforts at the North to render them odious, popular sentiment has Settled down into general and hearty acquises- cence in them, “ antil time and experi- ence shall demonstrate the necessity for farther legislation to prevent evasion or abuse.” They have come to be regarded ; by. far the large portion of the American le as a final settle N | peop *, on this. common ground.—Boston Cou, ment.

To count, deliberate)y, the value of this Union—to denounce the government as despotic—as leaning towards despot- ism, and as unworthy the confidence of the people, is no small matter ; more par- ticularly so, when all know who have ta- ken the least pains to examine for them- selves, it is not so,—that the evils which the Southern fire-eaters complain of ex- ist only in their disordered brain.

They professed purposes entire- ly peaceful towards the inhabitants of New Mexico, and especially admirations for the Americans, assigning as the rea- son of their visit that they were on their way to make war upon the Navajos, who live considerably west of the Rio Grande, and about the parallel of Santa Fe. Not- withstanding these professions, they did not leave the villages above-named with- out committing wanton depredations on the inhabitants, killing stock for which they had no use, and driving off others. No personal injury, however, was _inflic- ted on any of the people, though some of them were rudely treated. Col. ALEXANDER, commanding the United States forces at Los Vegas, sent troops to the points mentioned, and Col. Munroe at | last advices was busied in issuing orders designed to chastise and repel the Indians if they could be discovered. The people of the lower portion of the county of San Miguel were put in a state of great consternation by the unexpected appearance of these Camanches, and had earnestly called upon the Governor and military authorities for protection. Further news from that quarter will be looked for with interest. THE VIRGINIA CONVENTION. This body, which people began to fear had resolved itself into a ‘‘ perpetual session,” has at last adjourned. | Our memory does not serve us as to the time when it first met, but it is probably about eight or ten months ago. The Richmond Times gives the following as some of the most important features of the new Constitution, which was finally adopted by a vote of 75 to 33: ‘‘ Nearly all State and County officers are to be elect ed by the people, including the Governor and Lieuten- ant Governor, the Judges of the Supreme, District and Circuit Courts, and the Justices of the Peace, Com- monwealth’s Attorney’s, Clerks and Sheriffs. The Le- | gislature is to be apportioned, the House of Delegates on the Suffrage basis with a Western majority of four- teen, and the Senate with an Eastern majority of ten, which arrangement is to continue until 1865, when the Legislature may agree upon a new apportionment, or Taxes are to be ad valorem, except that slaves under twelve years of age are exempted, white males 21 years old are to pay a capitation tax on $400 worth of land, slaves over twelve years of age are not to pay more than the tax on $300 worth of land, and licenses, incomes and sal- aries may be taxed at the discretion of the Legislature ; seven per cent of the existing debt of the State, and of every future debt, is to’ be set apart annually for the payment of the interest and principal. The new Con- stitution is to be submitted to the voters qualified under it, on the fourth Thursday in October, the returns made to the Governor, and if he proclaim it ratified, the Le- gislature then elected is to be superseded by the new Legislature, which will be elected on the second Mon- day in December and will meet on the second Monday in January, and the sessions will be biennial. From this summary recapitulation it will be perceiv- ed, that the prominent modifications of the present Constitution consist in the adoption of the system of popular elections in all departments of the government, | in the abandonment of the principle of the representa- | tion of property, and requiring the Legislature to pro- vide for the payment of the present and every future public debt.” oh Bee from Under.’”—It is wonderful to ‘think the Bunker Hill Monument is bending like a bow, backward and forward, every day by the influence of the sun!

From the Christian Statesman. doubt In launching this, our bark, on the great ocean of public thought and opinion, we are less concerned for smooth seas than for a right course—less confident in any of the charts devised by man. than in the counsels of Him whose way is strength to the upright, and whose voice stills alike the angry waves and the tumult of the people. We dedwate the Christian Statesman to the Union of these States. not merely be- cause of the blessings involved in this Union itself, but because we regard it as the means to a still higher end—the lib- erty and happiness of the buman race. The sentiments of the authors of the De- claration of Independence, and of the Constitution of the United States, have a neverdying vitality. and their influence will be circumscribed by no other limits than those of the world. To all the in. habitants of the earth the traths embod- ied in those immortal instruments are as the light of a morning without clouds; | and if men are not now everywhere ca- pable of appreciating and enjoying their advantages, they are universally capable of being raised to a condition in which | all the immunities of freedom and self | government may safely be theirs. If we | regard none of the human race as hope: | lessly degraded, We see in the character | and condition of none in absolute perfec- | tion; and while we rejoice in the admi- rable nature of our Government and Un.- | ion, we do not imagine them without de- | fect, and incapable of amendment. The_ works of God alone are without flaw or. stain; nor should vain mortals deem that | any production of mere human skill can | compare with what has been touched with perfection by the Divine Hand. Great questions discussed with eminent ability, in both Houses of Congress, by powerful minds, have recently agitated the whole country. Fears have been felt and expressed the differences between the South and the North, on the slavery ques- tion, would destroy the Union. Our fears have heen allayed by the consideration that differences of opinion do not neces- sarily nor always imply differences in motives and sentiments; and that om op- posite sides of the question, utterly at va- me to see that great curiosity about hich they heard so much, and had seen litle.

EXECUTION OF THE COSDEN MUR. DERERS. | Declaration of innocence bythe Criminals, Tay. lor Murphy and Shelton.

A colored woman residing in the family was also desperately wounded but recovered—an infant child and young lad only escaping without injury. The murder was committed for money, and besides the three men executed, four men nam. ed Webster, Drummon, Roberts, and Shaw were arrested as participants. Shaw, it will be recollected, turned State’s evidence, and the other three were discharged in the absence of | proof of their guilt. ‘The conviction of Murphy, ‘Taylor and Shelton, was on Shaw’s positive _evide>ce, and circumstantial proof, which left no roo. % to doubt that they wege jugtdy convict. ed, and .aerited their doom. They have all | three, however, always denied their guilt, and | died, it will be perceived, with the asservation | of innocence on their lips. | Our Reporter who went to Chestertown on | Thureday had interview with the Prisoners on \ of | that evening. Abraham Taylor is a man 51 years of age in February, and was born and raised in New Castle county, Del. He has a wife and five children living—two sons and | two daughters by his first wife who are mar. | ried—his present.wife having a child ten months | old. He appeared in good spirits when we | saw him, but denied any knowledge of Cosden or his family; asserted that he never saw, or | was on his place, and never saw Shelton in his | life or Murphy within five years past. He as serted that what Shaw swore to, was false, | and that he believed be had been hired to do so. If Shelton or Murphy knew anything about the murder, he prayed God that they would not idie tillthey had made it known. Nicholas , Murphy is a man 48 years of age, and was born in the upper part of Cecil county, and has a wife and six children, the youngest of whom is /only eight or nine weeks old—born since his arrest. He stoutly denied his guilt. William | At 8} o’clock their chains were knocked off. and clean clothing furnished to each. They were subsequently shrouded in white, and the caps placed on their heads, their arms having been properly pinioned. At a quarter past 9 A. M. they were ready, and moved out of the Jail with firm steps. Around the building was an immense throng of people. Previous to leaving the jail, Taylor turned to Murphy and said to him, * If you know any thing about the murder, tell it now.” He replied, “I know nothing, or I would do so.” An armed posse of three hundred men, car- rying muskets and fowling pieces, under charge of Col. James B. Ricaud, surrounded the pris. on; added to this were the whole constabula. ry force of the county, and three companies of light dragoons, fully mounted and equipped. The prisoners walked out to a two horse open wagon. in which they were seated on chairs, Deputy Sheritf Wm. Parker, and Mr. John Greenwood, the Jailor, acting Deputy, be- side them. High Sheriff, Francis Cann, Esq., was on horseback in advance, and in the rear of the vehicle were ministers, surgeons, members of the preas, and a few other privileged persons. The armed citizens were formed in a hollow square around the prisoners and those in com. pany with them, one company of Dragoons in advance, and the other two bringing up the fish + reat..4 Jn this order the sad ege proceeded “out of thetown, jhe roads be. ing filled with persons of a *colurs and conditions, many females shedding tears, but all anxious to get a view of the miserable wretches about to be executed. Shelton nev. er held his head up from the time he left the prison—the other two gazed around then. They arrived at the scaffold at a quarter of 10 o’clock, which was erected in the usual mode, on aneminance ina field of Dr. Whalen, about a mile northwest of Chestertown. Here were from 7,000 to MW hoal we w ferhales, tht vehicles a distance off. More than one.third of the concourse were colored persons. The armed posse and troops fyrmed a hollow square around the, seaffuldg and none but the few-privi- leged persons were admitted within it. At 10 minutes of 11, the three prisoners walked up on the scaffold very firmly, and were seated on chairs. Mr. William Cosden. an el. derly gentleman, father of the murdered man, who went out with the cortege, on walking up on the scaffuld, burst into a flood of tears, and was scarcely able to go down again, he was so deeply affected. The prisoners knelt down, and the Rev. Dr. Jones offered up a fervent prayer, in which they joined. The Rev. Mr. Valiant then ad. dressed them in a most feeling manner, and urged them if they knew any thing of the mur der to make the reparation lefi, bya confession. Each protested his innocence. ‘The Clergy then bid them an affectionate farewell, and came down from the scaffold. Being told it they had any thing to say, to say it now, Taylor advanced on the scaffold, and in a loud and distinct tone of voice. amid breathless silence, said—* You all luok upon | me asa murderer.

He died rather harder than the other two, the mascular motivn of his body at any rate, being greater. Taylor’s body was sent to his family as re- quested—the brothers of Murphy and Shelton took charge of their bodies and took them to their residences. Shaw was sent for and brought to Chester. town a few days since at the request of Taylor who said he wished to see him—that when he eax nted with him he would not make Shes ¥r Pit ct atl cae te ents as he had, &c. When Shaw came there he reiterated his evigence against them, told Taylor he knew he was guilty and there was no use in his denying it. All that Taylor did was to abuse Shaw most foully, and wish he could be admited to kill him, asking the Sheriff for a pistol to shoot him. — Taylor was once convicted of kidnapping a negro, and sent to the penitentiary fer seven years, and notwithstanding the positive and in- dubitable proof in that case, always denied his guilt of it. This is the first execution that bas taken place in Kent county for a period of over 50 years. Murphy and Taylor asserted their full prepa- ration for death—whether truthfully or not, is an issue now between them*’and their Maker.— Shelton also declared himself fully prepared, but gave very little, if any outward signs of it. Murphy, when the knot in the noose slipped and he fell, was stunned for a few minutes. Af. ter he recovered he appeared to suffer acute pain in the spine at repeated intervals, and pre- sented an object that excited the sympathy of all to the most painful degree, To a question put to him, he remarked that he only felt some. thing giving way under him, and a sudden tight. ening ol the rope around his neck—in an instant he was totally unconscious of pain.

The Reeeption at Staunton. ; The pr esident was conducied to an elevate form, where he was addressed by Judge L. Phe in an appropriate and eloquent series of remarks, to which the President re- -piied as follows ; - “Mr. Chairman and Fellow Citizens : @ This most vnexpected eampliment has found me without adequate language to express the grateful emotions of my beart.

Jude in terms of eulogy, I bave nothing to say. lt bas been remarked by a wise man that no one’s biography should be written until be is dead ; and a prudent man should leave his pub lic acts to be judged by others. My past acts are the only pledges I can give of what my ad. ministration is hereafierto be. I have no pro- mises to make, except that in all I do I shall take the Constitution fur my guide and will as. sume a}! the responsibilities it imposes what. ever the sacrifice inny be; and while that flag floats (pointing to the National flag suspended from the Hotel) | will maintain that Constitu. tion and the Union it secures at any and every cost. (Great Applause.) Again, fellow citizens, I tender to you my grateful acknowledgements for this very flatter. ing reception. Afier the the President had concluded, Mr. Stuart responded in bis usual forcible and elo. quent manner to the repeated calls of his fel. low-citizens, in a short and appropriatespeech. The Uresigent then retired to the parlor of the Hotel, where a large number of ladies and gentlemen were successively introduced to him. At four o’clock about a hundred gentlemen sat down with the President to a sumptuous dinner prepared by the proprietor of the Hotel; and in the evening he was entertained at the resi- dence of Mr. Stuart, where many of the cili- zens paid their respects tu both guest and host. On Sunday the President attended divine wor. ship at Several Churches, and on Monday morn. ing left town in an extra coach for the White Sulpbur Springs. The Spectator concludes its account of the truly hospitable reception of the Chief Magis- trate in the following terms :— Thus Mr. Fillmore bas come and gone, but the impression made by his manly bearing, his honest face, and his plain yet earnest and pa- triotic language will not be transient. He is indeed a noble specimen of a man and a gen. Uleman, and wins all bearts that approach him by an unaffected sincerity and gracefulness of his manners. Prepossessed as we were in bis favor, our expectations were far exceeded, and thia we believe to be the unanimous sentiment of our people. He came among us travelling ae any private citizen, without ostentation or display, and only preceded by the knowledge that in trying times he hnd discharged the du- ties of his office with wisdom and fidelity : he was received with a popular enthusiasm such as is seldom awakened except to greet a military hero, and be has lefi us with the per- sonal best wishes of every individual. UNKIND. The Southern Press seems to have a poor opinion of its Locofoco allies in North Carolina. The Press has no confidence in their sincerity, for it says that they are only so hostile to the Union, because the Whigs are in favor of it. The Press, in an article headed “ North Carolina,” says : “Every “Democratic” paper in this State is opposed to the compromise, and some of these papers are as ultra for dis- union as the most rampant secession pa- pers of South Carolina ; for instance, the Charlotte Hornet's Nest, the Raleigh Stan- dard, the Wilmington Commercial, §c.— re isa cause for this, of course, the Whigs of North Carolina being all “Un. ion” men, the Locos have taken a differ- ent tack. Clingman, the secession can- didate for Congress in the Ist distret, is supported by every Locofoco paper in his district, and since he ran as the “Demo. | cratic” candidate for the United States Senate, he has utterly disowned the Whig party. of which be was a member.

Whigs against Venable, the regular Loco | candidate.” Now, although entirely correct in its | opinion, it is certainly very unkind in the | Press, thus to question the s incerity of its | Locofoco brethren. Perhaps, however, | the Press thinks as we do, that it is very | ridiculous and cowardly in these Locoloco papers, to come out in favor of disunion d South Carolina secession. just at the Aime when South Carolina herself seems ~ about fo abandon it. Ags long as there was any danger, they kept quiet, but as soon as the chances of a fight begin “to grow smaller by degrees” they are all in arms.— Fuy. Observer.

The Pica- yune cites as an evidence of the ontrath- fulness of the Spanish statements the fact that accounts have been published of the capture of Aguero, the Patriot leader, at five different points, whilst they are as- sored by a gentleman direct from Puerto Principe that he was still in command of a party of insurgents. The Courier has also the following startling announcement: “Havana ina state of Siege.— We learn from a person worthy of credit, arrived by the Cherokee, and who was wel] situated the Government, that two days after the departure of the steamer the city was to be declared in a state of siege.” The N.

The New Orleans Bulletin, a calm and dispassionate paper, says: “ We have read the several conflicting statements dispassionately. making due allowances for interested and excited feel- ings, and leaving a large margin for cre- dulity and enthusiasm, and our conviction is, that the revolution in Cuba is a reality ; that the Creoles have manifested by overt and positive acts, a disposition to emancipate themselves from the op- pressive restrictions of the mother coun. try, and to sever the ligaments of colonial bondage.” | | THE NORTH CAROLINA READER. | Calvin H.

Th s ps ope A great:meeting of : District was inconformity with timely nes tice, at Benneiteville, on the 4th inst., in the public square in front of the cour: house. Ac- cording to the officia! repon—— The chair (E. W. Godwin) briefly. explain. ed the objects of the meeting, as indicatédabore — invited discussion from both sides of the ques. lion, and expressed an earnest hope that per- out the proceedings. Capt. A. J. Stanton moved that, inasmuch necessary to hold the meeting in front of the Court House—the people standing—that the discussion should be confined to two speakers on a side, and that each speaker should be lim. ited to a half hour. This proposition was unanimously agreed to. Col. C. W. Dudiey then ruse and offered the following resolution : Resolved. ‘That in the opinion of this meet- | ing, the secession of South Carolina without the co-operation of other Southern States is un. wise and inexpedient. C. A. Thornwell, Esq., seconded the resolu. tion, and ably discussed and supported it, in a speech which was loudly cheered. The Chairman, when Mr. Thornwell had resumed his seat, invited a reply from the oth. er side ; but the separate secessionist, although present in full foree—looking on—tdcitly de- clined to accept the challenge. Col. Dudley next addressed the meeting half an hour, in a very effective speech, which was frequently interrupted with applause. The chairthen announced that the question would be decided, by dividing and counting, and requested all in favor of the resolution, to march out and form ranks five deep. At first, the whole crowd seemed to be mov. ing off calmly, deliberately, and in the most perfect order—forming in five long phalanxes, of the public square. The candid admission, must, however, be gers, neutrals, and separate secessionists, still remain on the ground ; but there could searce- ly have been one hundred persons left in all. The chair appointed tellers to count the ranks who soon reported the number in favor of the resolution to be—six hundred and twenty seven. The whole number of voters in the District is about 850. The other side was then invited to make a showing, but declined to march out. The two following resolutions were after. wards adopted unanimously : Resolved, ‘That the Chairman of this meet. ing do communicate the foregoing resolutions to the delegates who will represent Marlboro’ Distriét, in the State Convention, and request them, respectfully, to vote in conformity thereto ; and in the event of their failing to signify to him their intention to do so, then, that the Chair. man do cause a full account of the froceed. ings of this day, as expressive of the public sen. timent of Marlboro’ District, to be laid before said Convention, whenever assembled. Resolved, That we fee) highly indignant at the course of the Federal Legislation, and are ready now, and shall keep ourselves in readi- ness to unite with our sister States in the formation of a Southern conf@deracy whenever, and as svon as they will consent thereto; be. lieving as we do, that nothing less than such confederacy is at present, under all the circum. stances, available to us as a remedy for the grievances of which we complain, This last resolution indicates the position generally asumed by the anti-secession party. It is difficult to conceive that it really express. es the undivided sentiment of that party, and we suppose it has been assented to merely to ensure the defeat of the separate secession movement.—Rich. Times. MR. CLAY ON COLONIZATION. Mr. Clay has writen a letter in reply to Mr, Hankey, of London, in relation to the emigra- tion of free people of color to the West Indies. He says he has a decided preference for Afti. ca, to any other country, for colonization pur. poses, but sees no incompatibility between the object of transporting the free blacks to Africa India colonies. er, that suitable agents should be sent to the U. States, to explain to free blacks the advantages and privileges they wou!d enjoy by removing tothe West Indies, and to offer them the means of their transportation. Ia one part of this let. ter, Mr. Clay says :— [ have no doubt that it would conduce to the happiness of both races if the blacks were re. moved from the United States by colonization or expatriation ; but that object is unattainable with regard tothe slave portion of that popula. tion, whilst their bondage continues to exist in the United States. How long that will be can only be matter of conjecture. My own opinion | taining a necessary supply of labor, slavery | will cease whenever, by the increase of white Up balation, free white labor can be procured | cheaper than that of blacks. He says in another place ; | in the abolitionist ofthe United States a con. | Stant opposition to the African colony. They use all the arts in their power to dissuade the free people of color from voluntarily going to with some success. But I think the free blacks | are becoming less and less disposed to listen tothe mischievous counsels of their pretended abolition friends. Mr. Clay thinks if the people of Jamaica or their Government would (ry an emigration from | China, the result would approach a nearer re. gister, and the sheets are clipped apart, as they come from the press, by an ingen- | 10us contrivance. There is no limit hard. | ly, to the speed at which this press will work ; its exactness is beyond anything | known in this line of machinery, and what. is better than all, Mr. F. says he can put | up the largest sized press at a cost of not | more than $500. Mr. Foreman is a prac. tical printer, and at present h citizen of New Boston, Ill. In 1849, he had charge of the Herald, in this place, for a few, weeks. We have no doubt that his ‘ for. tune’ is now made and we sincerely re- Jotce at it.—Mascatine (Iowa) Eng.

Directing our inquiry by this lat- ter progess, we are impelled to other and very different conclusions, to wit: that the Caldwell men of the present day will either be ashamed of themselves, or our country will be a waste—marked every where by the foot prints of the destroying angel. We would admonish the editor, that the Union men in North Carolina, i. e. the supporters of Gen. Dockery, love that Union at which hesneers. And if to pre- serve the Union it becomes necessary for them to resort to arms, will he be found marshalled under the black flag of disun- ion, levelling his musket at the breasts of the Union-loving men of North Carolina ? Will he, too, join South Carolina in the insulting presumption upon Which she is acting, that the Southern States, herself excepted. is devoid of sense and courage ? —incapable of appreciating their wrongs and too craven to avenge them? And yet the tone of the editor’s remarks—in- tended to be severe—lead to the conclu- sion that such would be his course. If will, in a spirit of ** candor” tell the world so. We are sure the public would have no objection to knowing, though they may not feel any great concern on the subject.

And is this not the very thing which secessionists—disunionists—are at- tempting? Say they, we will, by sepa- rate State action, compel them either to destroy us, or to destrcy the Union. And | deliberately making this resolve so utter- ly at variance with every principle of kind- ness, they yet turn to the South with the begging inquiry “willyou vobunteer against us?” The Southern States have declar- ed that South Carolina is wrong.

We have not yet heard of any fruitful results, though we feel very well assured that Iredell is not sick of ‘the enterprise to which she has put her hand. On the contrary, there are but few of ber citi. / zens who are not anxious to see the work go on, and there is abundant reason to hope they will yet equal the reasonable expectations of the friends of this project in other counties. — We would rejoice to have it in our power to | announce, at once, the good part done in this business by the county of Iredell, and also by the county of Alexander. Spirited action, just now, would greatly encourage the friends of the Road in Rowan; and give assurance to the public generally that it is not a mere experi. ment, the result of which is doubtful. A committee was appointed by the Chair. Stock. It is ardently to be hoped that their efforts may be crowned with great success.— Surely, if this work is to go on, there is no ad- vantage lo be gained by delays. TRIBUTE OF RESPECT. Saissury, Aucust 6, 1851. At a meeting of the Bar, held pursuant to notice, on Tuesday of Rowan Court of Pleas and Quarter Ses- sions, Nathaniel Boyden, Esq., was called to the Chair, , and John A. Lillington, Esq., requested to act as Sec- retary. The following resolutions were introduced by H. C. Jones, Esq., and unanimously adopted : Resolved, That we, the professional associates of Joun B. Lorp, Esq., whose death has occurred since the last term of this Court, feel bowed down with awe, and deeply smitten at the suddenness of this blow, and the desolation it has produced. The subject of this memorial was no ggdinary man. To extensive acquirements and good taste, was conjuin- eda faculty of judging safely and truly in all matters pertaining to business, whether of his profession or oth- erwise. Added to this, were habits of industry and dili- gence such as were rarely seen in any. These, with integrity that never was questioned, and a courage that never was blenched, constituted him a most valuable counsellor. A candid, cordial, joyous manner of inter- | mixing with his friends, especially with his professional associates, the chaste and pure cast of his life and con- versation, the benevolence and charity he dispensed, and the kindness and friendship he manifested to all around him, made him most dear to the community in which he lived, and especially to us his brethren of the Bar. Therefore, Resolved further, That we will cherish a lively remembrance of these bright qualities, and that we will commend them with all our hearts for profes- sional imitation, and as lessons of virtue and goodness, by which all may be profited. Resolved, That the wife and children of one that was so dear to us, can never be other than objects of lively interest and affection, and that in al] the vicissitudes | that shall ensue for them and us, we will remember to | do by them kindly, whenever occasion presents itself. Resolved, That we will wear the usual badge of mourning for the space of thirty days; and that copies of these proceedings, signed by the Chairman and Sec- retary, be tendered to Mrs. Lord, the afflicted partner of his married life. Resolved, That the Solicitor for the County, be re- quested to present these proceedings to the Court of Pleas and Quarter Sessions now in session, and ask that they be entered on the minutes of that body. NATHANIEL BOYDEN, Chairman. JOHN A. LILLINGTON, Secretary. In compliance with the last resolution, the Solicitor, Robert E. Love, Esq., after a few feeling remarks, pre- sented the resolutions to the Court, who replied as fol- lows: ‘«To the application of the Bar to record their warm and appropriate tribute to the character and worth of their distinguished associate, Joun B. Lorp, Esq., this Court responds most cordially in the affirmative. We, too were well acquainted with the deceased, we had re- spected his manly and honorable bearing before the Court, and in his intercourse with his profession, and we | too join in the sentiments expressed in the resolutions adopted. Let the record be made accordingly. For the Watchman. LINES—TO MY MOTHER. I've been since we parted, with friends kind and dear, With those I would love to have ever near ; But my heart is still faithful where ever I roam, And turns with delight to the lov’d ones at home. I'-e been in a crowd, with the thoughtful and gay, Where fashion and beauty were holding their sway ; Yet, while with my tongue I re-echoed their glee, My heart sought communion, dear mother with thee. | | | { And music I’ve heard in such thrilling strains, But every sweet note, plaintive, joyous or clear, Made me think of thee, mother, and wish thou wert near. And when the proud top of the Pilot I gained, My heart glowed with pleasure, with rapture unfeigned ; Yet still when I gazed on the welkin’s deep blue; Untutored, fond memory turned ever to you. Yes, thus will it be in my journey through life, Forgetful of pleasure, forgetful of strife, My heart will be faithful, where ever I roam, And turn with delight to the loved ones at home.

New Hampshire, a confirmed Democratic State lately rejected the new constitation fram- ed by a convention. Right by its side, Vermont, a staunch Whig State, is work- ing under one of the most liberal of con- stitutions, all its officers being elected by the people. South Carolina has a most anti-democratic form of government, and Virginia has been very slow to enter the spirit of reform. Ohio and other Whig States possess constitutions of the most republican kind.

Boatmen, thrice I’ve called thee o’er, Waiting on life’s solemn shore, Tracing in the silver sand, Letters till thy boat should land. Drifting out along with thee, Towards the clime I cannot see, Read to me the strange device Graven on thy wand of ice. Push the curls of golden hue From thy eyes of starlit dew, And behold me where I stand, Beckoning thy boat to land. Where the river mist so pale, Trembles Jike a bridal veil, O’er yon lowly drooping tree, One that loves me wuits for me. Hear, sweet Boatman, hear my call! Last year, with the leaflet’s fall, Resting her pale hand in mine, Crossed she in that boat of thine! When the corn shall cease to grow, And the rye-field’s silver flow At the reaper’s feet is laid, Crossing, spake that lovely maid. Dearest love, another year, Thou shalt meet this Boatman here— The white fingers of despair Playing with his golden hair. From this silver sanded shore, Beckon him to row thee o'er; Where yon solemn shadows be, I shall wait thee—come and see. There! the white sails float and flow, One in Heaven and one below ; And I hear a Jow voice cry, Ferryman of Death am I. INDIAN CRUELTY. An incident occurred at Key Biscayne light-house, during the Florida war, which is perhaps, worth record- ing. The light-house was kept by a man named Thompson. they both lived in a small hut near the light-house.— One evening about dusk they discovered a party of some fifteen or twenty Indians creeping upon them, upon which they immediately retreated into the light-house, carrying with them a keg of gun-powder, with the guns and ammunition. From the windowsof the light-house Thompson fired upon them several times, but the mo- ment he would show himself at a window, the glasses would be instantly riddled by rifle balls, and he had no alternative but to lie close. The Indians meanwhile, getting out of patience, at not being able to force the door which Thompson hed secured, collected piles of wood, which being placed against the door and set fire to, the stair case conducting to the lantern, into which Thompson and the negro were compelled to retreat.— From this too they were finally driven by the encrvach- ing flames and were forced outside on the Carpet wall, which was not more than three feet wide. The flames now began to ascend as from a chimney some fifteen or twenty feet above the light-house. These two men had to lie in this situation some seventy feet above ground, with a blazing furnace roasting them on one side, and the Indians on the other, embracing every oceasion, as svon as any part of the body was exposed, to pop at them. The neyro incautiously exposing him- self, was killed, while Thompson received several balls in his feet, which he had projected beyond the wall.— y rvasted (o death, in a fit of desperation, Thomp- suf reized the keg of punpowder, which he had still pre- served to keep from the hands of the enemy, threw it into the blazing light-house, hoping to end his own suf- ferings and destroy the savages. His only companion was an old negro man ; In a few momenss it exploded, but the walls were tuo strong to be shaken, | and the explosion took place out of the light-house as though it had been fired from their gun. The effect of the concussion was to throw down the blazing materials level with the ground, so as to produce subsidence of the flames, and then Thompson was per- mitted to remain exempt from their influence. Before cay the Indians were off, and ‘Thompson being left alone was compelled to throw off the body of the negro, while sirength was yet left him, and before it putrified. The gunpowder was heard on board a revenue cutter, at some distance, which iinmediately proceeded to the spot to ascertain what had occurred, when they found | the light-house burnt, and the keeper above on top of it. Various expedients were resorted to, to get him down; and finally a kite was inade and raised with strong twine, and so manceuvred as to bring the line within his reach, to which a rupe was next attached and hauled up by Thompson. Finally, a bluck, which being fustened to | the light house, and having a rope over it, enabled the crew to haul up a couple of men, by whose aid Thomp- son was safely Janded on terra firma. The Indianshad attempted to reach hin by means of the Iightuing rod, to which they had attached thongs of buck-skin, but ! could not succeed in getting more than half way up. Charleston News.

The uasband, Michael Dress, died last year, in the 40th year of bia age, having gone blind. The mother, Kate Dress, is quite a buxom looking wo- man, in the 39th year of her age, and now supports her family as weil as she can, by her own exertions, wash- | ing and sewing.

There are now twelve of the whole number living, seven boys aud five girls. We saw Mrs. Dress some days ago, at our office.— many hopes, as most folks, of living to a good old age. She has certainly done her share towards fulfilling the Divine injunction to ‘ multiply and replenish the earth.” The case is a remarkable one, such as our knowledge of the history of the world furnishes no parallel to, and such as we imagine will be ‘‘ few and far between” in future generations. Congress ought to enact a special sentative will call attention to the matter at the next session, and a piece of Jand be voted for Mrs. Dress and her family to live upon.

Desirous to make a last effurt, the Qua. ker called at his house one morning. and in. quired if his master was at home. The mer chant, hearing the inquiry and knowing the voice, callled aloud from the top of the stairs. * Tell that rascal that Lam not at home !” The Quaker, looking up towards him, calm. ly said, * Well, friend, God put thee in a bet- ter mind!” meekness of the reply, and having more delib. erately investigated the matter, became con. vinced that the Quaker was right, and he in the wrong. He requested to see him, and after acknowledging his error, he said, “1 have one question to ask you—how were you able, with such patience, on various occasions, to bear my abuse ? * Friend,’ replied the Quaker. ** [ will tel! thee. [ was naturally as hot and violent as thou art. [ know that to indulge this temper | was sintul; and [ found that it was imprudent. | Lobserved that men in a passion always speak | aloud, and | thought if L couid control my voice, I should repress my passion. I have therefore made it a rule never to suffer my voice to rise above acertain key, and by a caretul observ. ance ofthis rule, | have, with the blessing of God, entirely mastered my natural temper.” The Quaker reasoned philosophically, and the merchant, as every one else may do, bene fited by bis example.

This is the most severe and summary law against the sale of intoxicating spirits that was ever passed by any State Le gislature. The Providence Jouraal expresses some surprise thal the law is so effectually en forced, and says : ‘This is so different from the effect which strong prohibitary Jaws have had in other pla. caes that we scarcely understand it. Either the respect for law is very strong in Maine, or public sentiment is very unanimous in favor of suppressing the liquor traffic. Vhe effeet of this experiment, if it shall prove suceessful. must be very considerable in the other N. En. gland States. A similar esprriinent is to be! made in Ohio.

Had each of postles put on a regalia, the ensign yalty, and furnished themselves with and flags, and paraded the streets ght with blazing lamps or torch light, dthis have been an example of hu- yand simplicity? I think not. And the apostles met in council, is it pro- that they addressed their president, by Patriarch ? Thissort of style did mitthe taste of those men taught in bool of Christ, nor did it suit the of the founders of our republic.— a persons form themselves into a so- oran association and name them. the name ought to be appropriate. have now an association who call selves the Sons of Temperance.— implies that their fathers were tem- e men, which can hardly be the case general thing.

It would seem that the | have imbibed the notion that they ppposed because they are endeavor- vput down the unnecessary and bane- of spirits.

As $1 can learn, the principal ground on they are opposed is their Constitu- and their mode of acting. They adopted titles better adapted to a hy than a Republican Govern- such as Regalia, Grand Scribe. and hy Patriarch.

The admission fee is too dol- lars, and in addition to it five cents per week, which will amount to four dollars and sixty cents the first year, and in each succeeding year two dollars and sixty cents. Now, on these termsa great nuinber of miserable, pennyless drunkards must be prevented from joining their Qe- der, and consequently cannot be admitted into the a Division room to be carried through a course of beautiful and inter- esting ceremonies. and to be warned a- gainst the baneful influence of spirituous liquors. These terms differ very much from the terms of the Gospel. Christ said, The Gospel is preached to the poor. This is one excellency of the Gospel. it invites the poor in a special manner to receive | salvation without money and_ without price. Jt invites the drunkard, who has no money, into that fountain of life which cures intemperance and every other dis- ease of the soul. This is the best Divi- sion room into which a drunkard ever went or can go. In this he will find sub- stance instead of parade and empty cer- | emonies. Intemperance, as well as all other sins, originates from a vitiated heart, and it is a spiritual disease, and must have a spiritual remedy: natural means in such cases, signify just nothing. temperance, as well as all other sins, go- eth not out but by fasting and prayer, therefore | beg leave to ask—do the Sons when they take the degraded drunkards into a Division room, fervently pray to God that he may cast out the demons and restore them to their right minds. Is Mr. P. S. White as well furnished with faith and prayer ashe is with laugh- able anecdotes? If he is, the evil spirit will not have the assurance to say, Jesus | I know; and Paul I know; but who are you’? Butif he has not these Christian graces, the probability is. that the demon. will leap upon him as it did upon the sons of Scova and cause him to flee naked and | wounded. Doctor Clarke says. “ several systems of religion have some good ordi- nances, and moral precepts—they speak against sin, and recommenda moral life: but under them not one sinner is convert- ed; and why? Because they minister not the power of God. Nor does even the strong and forcible preaching of the divine precepts of Christianity itself, pro- duce this. Where Juses is not preached as the power of God, as well as the wis- dom ot God, no sinner is converted from the error of his life. The profligate con- tinues his course, drunkards, swearers, li- | ars, Sabbath breakers. the unjust, the un- clean, and the unholy, continue under the influence and power of sin, though they may frequent the ministry of those who, not knowing the work of God upon their own hearts, think God works not at all; and endeavor to produce the wonderful change which the Gospel requires and the state of the soul demands, by moral sua- sion, and adininistration of the divine or- dinances! Vain labor! Without this power of God, no good can be effected. Jesus, as putting away sin by the sacri- fice of himself, and sending forth the en- lightening and powerful influence of the | Holy Ghost, must be clearly. faithfully, | Where this is and incessantly preached. done, sinners will be converted unto God, | and believers built up on their most holy faith. This was the Gospel which St. Paul preached, because he knew it to be the power of God to Salvation. He had felt it to be such; and he witnessed it as the only means of saving, either a lost world, or a lost soul.” Now if the Doctor is right, and there can be no doubt but he is, how can the | Sons expeet to change the heart of drunk. | ards by fantastical means and ceremo- | But the regeneration of the heart | 7 nies ! appears not to be their object, because Sobriety says, “ We do not hold that the temperance society ever regenerated any one,” yet they represent themselves as pt- | oneers preparing drunkards for the Church, but if regeneration is not taught and urg- | ed upon their members they are badly prepared to be put into that sacred build. ing. In the foregoing observations I have pointed out things in the system of the Sons which many think to be repugnant to the doctrines of the Bible, and it is the wish of many that some. writer of their Order will confine himself to this point, and prove, if it can be proved, that their | doctrines are in accordance with those of ' the Bible.

John Baxter and myself, on the 24th inst., having been put in circulation for the purpose of injuring me ; [ am constrained in Justice to myself, to make a simple statement of the facts in the caee, in order that the public, if they feel any interest in the matter, may at least, form their opinions correctly and undes- standingly. The cause of our quarrel is a matter of no great importance to the public, though it was truly set forth in an article published in the Asheville News, of the 24th inst. | that Col. Baxter insulted me, by proclaiming me to the world, through the Messenger, as a liar, and I challenged him. The paper containing | this charge appeared on Tuesday afternoon the 15th of July. I sefit the challenge the same af. | noon by my friend, Dr. E. R. Jones, and re. , ceived Col. Baxter’s reply through his friend | Mr. J. W. Woodfin the next morning. This re- | ply of Col@axter was insulting, and of a char. | acter which would have justified me, according tothe laws which govern gentlemen under such | circumstances, to have refused to notice it. I | however, waived any objection to it. My se. cond then sought an interview with Mr. Wood. fin, Col. Baxter’s second for the purpose of ar. ranging the preliminaries of our meeting. All that was agreed upon was the weapons. Dr. Jones had had several other interviews with Mr. Woodfin, insisting all the time, that the terms of our meeting should be reduced to writ- | ing, and signed here before we left. This pro- | position was declined, and I left here in compa. | ny with my friend Dr. Hilliard, on the 23d, | knowing nothing of what sort of meeting I had | to expect with Col Baxter, except that we were } to use the ordinary duelling pistols. | When we arrived upon the ground a formal acceptance of my challenge, dated at the Salu- _da Gap was handed me, and the terms of the _meeting in Col. Baxter’s hand writing were submitted to us for our consideration. ‘They are as follows : Ist. ‘The weapons shall be the ordinary duel ling pistols, loaded with one ball and the dis. tance forty feet. 2nd. ‘he parties shall hold their pistols by | their sides in a perpendicular position, with the | musel to the ground. 3rd. The word or signal for fireing shall be given by the friend of one of the parties, to be | determined by lot, in the following manner.— The person giving the word or signal,"Shall ask ‘are you ready?” And on reeeiving an affirm. ative reply from both parties, he shall proceed to count ‘one, two, three,—fire.” Neither | party shall fire or make any attempt to fire, be- fore the word “fire :” And the person giving | the word or signal for firing shall repeat the _ manner in which he will do so in the presence of | both the parties before they take their positions. | It will be remarked by those who are conver- | sant with the manner of giving the word on an occasion of this sort, that the method selected by Col. Baxter was in contravention of the or- | dinary usage. No words of halt were called | after the word fire, and the object seemed to be to ensure some one being hit. My second ob. | jected to the unusual manner of giving the word, but upon a little conference between Mr. Wood. fin and Col. Baxter—the latter gentleman not yielding the point, I instructed my second to | make no further objection. The seconds proceeded to load the pistols, | when Mr. Woodfin found he had no charger for | Col. Baxter’s pistol. 1 offered mine which was | accepted. Mr. Woodfin charged the pistol.— | Mr. Baxter seeing the size of the charger, Mc Woodfin, hesitating, said it was sufficiently well charged, whereupon Mr. Baxter remarked he Mr. Woodfin accor. { { | ) { | Mr. Woodfin to put in another charge. , could not put in too much. -dingly put in the additional charge of powper, | from the deepest tunnel, 120 feet. ‘and Mr. Baxter selected and rammed the ball | thinks California can hardly beat ourState /down with his own hand.

We find the following dispatches in the Macon Journal and Messenger of Wednesday last : Cotumsus, Aug. 12—3 30 P. M. Messrs. Editors :—There is a great mob raging here at present. The negro man Jarrett, convicted by two successive Ju- ries of the infamous crime of committing a rape upon alittle girl of ten years old, was to have been hung to-day. To the sur- prise of every one, he was pardoned by Gov. Towns. This has created great in- dignation among the populace, and a mob of five hundred persons are now before the Jail awaiting the hour of 4 o'clock, at which time they expect to hang him. Cotumsus, Aug. 12—6. 10 P. M. The mob assembled at 4 o'clock, pro- ceeded tothe Jail and demanded the keys. The Sheriff refused to give them up—the doors were broken open, and the negro brought out and hung to a pine tree back of the Jail. BEAUTIFUL MINERAL. We are indebted to Capt. Eudy, super- Mr. Woodfin gave the word and at the | es of the most fantastic forms, as though intendent of the Hodgin Mine. for a splen- DISCUSSING SECESSION. We yesterday said a word of the effects pro- duced towards bringing aboat Secession, by the merely vindicating it as an abstract right, while confessing that there erists no present occasion for resorting to it. We have now to speak of other pernicious effects that must in- evitably flow from all such gratuitous discussion of one of those deplorable political catastrophes which, if it ever comes at all, had better come upon us unwarned, than come prematurely, provoked by the rash and irreverent debate of a subject too sacred to be touched until we know that it must be deliberated, because it must be acted on. There are public sentiments in abundance —there are private affections—there are prin- ciple of morals—there are points of faith, which rest not upon reason, but are derived from na- ture and the heart; an@®which none discuss but fools that never felt them or sophisters in whom they are lost. What is the use of con- sidering whether a man should love his coun. (ry or not? his parents or not? He has al. ready lost half the feelings of the patriot or the son, who consents to hold a question with bim. self of either duty. Many of the great points of social action must be accepted as instincts, adopted as ultimate truths. God, not examine him: we must revere Mar. riage, not philusophize with our wit about what human wit never invented: we must respect Property, lest we should, by speculating on how or why it came, sink into that worst kind of thief who fancifully styles himself a Social. ist. So of a hundred other things of the affec. tions and sentiments ; they love not to argue ; they recoil from the rough and frigid touch of logic. By the time a woman has analyzed all the principles of Modesty and Chastity, how many women will have any of either lefi? Like these is that intimate, that reverential, that grateful, that fillial idea, that political in. stinct of our hearts, which the noblest man amongst us have ever cherished and honoured as little less than a sort of religion and myste. ry, even in that early day when the prophetic eye of patriotism itself could yet see but dimly the benefits which this Union was to bestow upon us. ‘They bade us, from the beginning. look on it as a consecrated idea, a sacred ar- rangement of our public safety, which it would be profane to handle. They evidently regard ed, as not merely for us a national good the vastest, but an indissoluble necessity, from’ which there was and would ever be no outlet but into absolute mutual ruin. Its very discussion, therefore, they charged us, with every solemn warting, never to touch. How wisely, the event, though long after, has unhappily proved. For the mere raising of the question, in South Carolina, some 25 years ago —the mere claim of freedom to talk about its possibility—the simple enunciation there, by that famous doubter of every religious idea, Dr. Thomas Cooper, has led, by gradual weakening of every instinctive feeling of loyalty and na. tionality, to the entire state of popular disaffec. tion which now prevails there, and extingush- ed in the general breast every American sen. timent, every thought of this as their country. They began twenty-five years ago, by only claiming that there was no harm in “calcula. ting the value of the Union ;”’ they have end. ed by the very arithmetical results of that calculation, and ascertained, by the rules of Cocker, that it is worth considerably less than nothing at all ! If we, in Virginia, desire to be led to the same wise conclusion, we have only to tolerate that presses and politicians should destroy our inberent repugnance to the like, by familiar. izing the public mind with this fatal idea and uprooting all the old reverence for what Wash. ington and his compeers held too holy for de. did specimen of Quartz Crystals, ae e for fine specimens of crystal quartz rock.

Dr. ‘the nature of the message, and the manner in which it was delivered to bim, he thought it his duty to adyise me to approach Col. Baxter, and show a willingness to reconcile our difficulty. [ said to Dr. Jones that I did nat believe what Col. Baxter said asto his intention not to fire at me, and that his object was only to get geome | advantage of me in bringing the affair before the public, or he desired to put me ina situation where he could insult me with impunity. Dr. Jones insisted that I should approach Col. Bas. ‘ter, he believing that Col. Baxter’s message was intended as an offer of friendship ; and I "was finally prevailed upon todo so. I advanced to Col. Baxter and said: Col. Baxter, from the message you sent me by Dr. Jones, I have been induced to approach you. I am willing | now that this matter should drop here, and we | should be friends. Col. Baxter said: Mr, Er- | win, from what bas been passed between us, I cannot consider you my equal.

So signal has been the defeat of the Secess sionists in our State, wherever the issde has been fairly made, that every effort will be at. tempted by the leaders, to take the back track. No stratagem will be left untried, to extricate themselves from the position they assumed du- ring the last Session of the Legislature, aad in the recent campaigt. for Congress. They al. ready see and feel that their doctrines are odi- ous to the Union-loving People of the State, and whilst they do not intend to ahandon those doctrines, they will, nevertheless, endeavor to evade the true issues. But their opinions and purposes are on record. That record they can. not expunge. They have done what they could to break down the Compromise. They have bent their whole energies to establish the doctrine of Secession. ‘They have given “aid and comfort” to South Carolina in her designs against the Union. They have done all this in the face of day.

We learn from a gentleman pre- sent that the road is progressing as rape idly as possible, but it will not reach Ches- teras early as was expected, as one of the contractors has been materially retar- ded by coming across a bed of rock.— The road has been doing a very good bu- siness for the past three months, which are usually the dullest in the season.— The following was taken from the books of the Company, as the earnings for the three months: Receipts for May, June, & July, $9,728 60 Expenses a 5,479 35 6 “ $4,249 24 This must be principally received from passengers as very little freight could be passing.

A Ludicrous Combat.—In some parts of our country, when an unsuceesstul lover is discard- ed by his mistress, he is said to receive * the sack.” We think this expression must have been founded upon the following eurious inci- dent, an account of which we cut from an ex- change : “Two gentlemen of high birth, the one a Spaniard and the other a German, having ren- dered Maximillian H. many services, they each for recompense, demanded his natural daugh.- ter, Helena Schasequin, in marriage. ‘The prince, who entertained equal respect for them both, could not give either the preference, and after much delay he told them th:* from the claims they both had to his attention and re. gard he could give his assent for either of them to marry his daughter, and they must decide it by their own prowess and address; but as he did not want to risk the loss of either or both, hy suffering them to fight with offensive wea. pons, he had ordered a large bag to be brought, and be who was successful enough to put his rival into it, should obtain bis daughter. ‘This strange combat between the two gentlemen was in the presence of the whole imperial court, and lasted halfan hour, At length the Spaniard yielded to the German, Andre Elhard, Baron of Tetherd, who, when he had got him into the bag, took him on his back and placed him at the Emperor’s feet, and on the follow. ing day married the beautiful Helena.

Mrs McKimmy, supposing her husband dead, about twelve years ago married a Mr. Thornbarg, an industrious and well disposed man, by whom she had a number of children.

STILL FURTHER REPORTS. t appears that Lopez landed on the 12th with rer Apion: a [he had only about 450.] and was instantly joined by the people of the surrounding country. ‘Two accounts are given of his subsequent movements and the capture of the forty Americans. The Government account states that Lopez on landing sent a letter to the inhabitants of Pieas. threatening them with extermination un- less they aided him. Subsequently a fight oc- curred hetween the Spaniards and the Patriots in which the former suffered severe loss. On the 15th the Patfots attempted to re em- bark at Cabanas, but were prevented hy the Spanish, and an engagement ensued. in which the former were utterly reuted and dispersed into the mountains back of Bahia Honda. A portion attempted to escape in boats, and this was the party that was captured and executed. The other account is widely different. It sfates that engagements took place on the 13th in which the Spaniards were thrice defeated with great loss, and that onthe 15th the Patri- ots moved towards Diego, Wanez, and Cahan.- as, with the view oftaking the fort at the latter place. Some fifty endeavored to get there by sea, and these were captured by the Habanero. Neither of these accounts are precise as (o the whereabouts of Lopez. Se arrival _.

The committee in the case awarded the prize, without knowing the authors of any ofthe proposed essays, to the Rev. Mr. Brtces, a Unitarian clergyman of Plymouth, Massacausetts.

RACINE DEMOCRATIC. DISTRICT | CONVENTION. At a meeting of the Democratic elec- | _tors of the Representative District com- | posed of the city and town of Racine, at! the Court House in said city, on Saturday | \the 9th of August, 1851, Isaac J. Ullmaun was called to the chair, and Albert G. | | Knight chosen Secretary. The object of | . e | |the meetiag was stated by thechair to) be the election of a delegate to represent | said District in the Democratic State Con- ventionat Madison,onthe 10th of Septem. _ber next, and to transact such other bus: | iness as may come before the meeting.— | Whereupon, It was voted to proceed to elect by bal- lot, and that the polls be held open for vo | ting one hour. | The following resolutions were then off- | ered by Col. Philo White, and unanimous. | Resolved, That we are democrats of the | Jefferson and Jackson school: We revere | memories, profess their political | ciples of democracy inculcated by them, | and which were so beautifully illustrated | in their Administration of our national | Government. | Resolved, That in the language of the hero and potriot, Andrew Jeckson, we | would persuade our political brethren in- this district, and throughout Wisconsin, | that it is only in a‘ plain system of gov- | ernment, void of pomp—protecting all, -and granting favors to none—dispensing | its blessings like the dews of heaven, un- | seen and unlelt, save the freshness and | beauty they contribute to produce”—that | our people can find protection for their lib- | erties and happiness for themselves; or that the Unton, the prosperity, and the freedom of all the States can be perpetua- | ted. Resolved, That we view with distrust those political aspirants, let their profes: sions be what they may, who busy them- selves in getting up extraneous party is: | sues, and are ever seeking out new tests, _with which to distract the democracy and divide the party, and by such means to- defeat the election of reliable democrats. Resolved, Vhat we are opposed to that political “ transcendentalism ” which, in. these latter days, is shooting out of its wonted sphere in the fields of speculative philosophy and spurious theology leaping over the barriers of the Constitution, and vaulting into the political arena, where it | is attempting to set aside the sage coun- sels and wise measures of the fathers of ‘this Republic, and where it would kindle a fire on every hearth stone of a fair and fruitful portion of our country, which could only be quenched by the blood of the lovli- est and pyrest, the bravest and best of its” people. - Resolved, That we are a law-abiding peo- ple, and consequently are the friends and | supporters of the Constitution and its com promises ; and that we would sustain all | those measures of liberty and progressive democracy, that are in accordance with. onstitution, and of | the laws enacted in strict conformity there- Philo White was found to havea large | majority of the votes cast for Delegate, ‘and was declared elected. | d that our dele- After which is was vote ( a substitute Convention at Madison.

C., on the 20th inst. of dropsy in the chest, Mr. THOMAS DEWS, aged 71 years, and long known to the citizens of Lincoln and of the ad- joining counties, as an upright, zealous and truly devo- ted christian. Mr. Dews was born in the town of Froome, near Bris- tol, Somersetshire, England ; but was brought up from his childhood in St. Peter Port, island of Guernsey, where he lived till he came to the United States with his family in 1817. He had nine children; one died be- fore he left Guernsey, he lived to see the rest reach adult age ;—two of them, his oldest son and daughter, were called by death before their father ;—the other six, one son and five daughters are left, together with their aged mother and several grand-children, to mourn the loss of one of the best of men. Mr. Dews was a devo'ed and consistent friend to the cause of temperance and took an active pact in Sab- bath School instruction, as well as in the dissemination of the Bible. It was not necessary to remain long in | his company to discover that he was truly a man of God ; the interests of religion were near his heart and from the abundance of his religious feelings his lips spake. Integrity of life, deadness to the world, a kind, peaceful and social disposition, a strong and unwaver- ing faith and a spirit of earnest and constant prayer— were the distinguishing traits of this excellent man. During his long and painful illness no murmur es- | caped his lips, no cloud obscured his spiritu al vision ; even during the few momenis of delirium which pre- ceded his dissolution, he was continually offering up supplications to God and repeating some of the exceed- ing great and precious promises of the word. His last words, addressing his wife, were: ‘I am just now ready to enter the “ promised land.” It is not believed that Mr. Dews had an enemy in the | world, nor could it be otherwise with him who ad- dressed every man with the emphatic word, “ friend,” and whose words were truly the index of his heart. As | he spake, so he felt ; for he was an Israelite indeed in | whom was no guile. SF. | In Forsythe County, on the 15th instant, Mr. JOS- | EPH SPACH, aged about 60 years.

He then produced a round black ball, about the size of a walnut, and handed it to Blades, saying he would bet there was no Fin-it.

After increasing In density and size for about an hour, it seem- ed to move op with rapidity, having all the appearance of one from which an a- bundant rain was descending. This, how- ever, proved not to be the case, for in a few minutes the whole face of nature was covered with a dense blue smoke, ex- tending, as far as yet ascertained, over an area of 18 or 20 miles square. So thick, indeed, was it, that the vision was much interrupted, and trees and bouses only half a mile off were entirely hidden frem view. When the smoke disappeared, which was in about an hour, the cloud had evapora. ted or wasted away. * We understand that considerable a- larm prevailed with some, that the time had come when the earth should ‘ burn like an oven,’ while others thought their neighbors to the southward were being burned up, and sent their hanis to assist, only to find their same neighbors had done likewise with their hands, for those still more southward, &c. Was this smoke caused by an immense fire in Lexington or Richland, or was it the result of some peculiar state of the atmosphere at the time?

An account of a recent trial at the Old Baily, in London, Lord Chief Justice Tin- dal presiding. George Hammond, a portrait painter, was placed at the bar, to be tried on an indictment found against him by the grand jury for wilful murder, with malice aforethought, of George Baldwin, a rope- dancer and amountebank. The prisoner was a man of middle height, but slender form His eyes were blue and mild. His whole bearing gave evidence of subdued sadness and melancholy resignation. He was forty one years of age, bad a soft voice, and his appearance and manner bore testimony to his being a man of dis- tinguished education, in spite of the pov- erty of his dress. On being called on to plaad, the prison- -er admitted that he did kill Baldwin; and he deplored the act, adding, however, that on kis soul and conscience he did not be- lieve bimself guilty. Thereupon, a jury was empannelled to try the prisoner. The indiiazont was then read to the jury, and ‘the act of killing admitted, the govern- ment rested their case, and the prisoner was called upon for his defence. The prisoner then addressed himself to the court and jury: “ My lord,” said he, “ my justification is to be found ina recital of the facts. Three years ago, I Jost a daughter, then 4 years of age, the sole memorial left of my be- loved wife, whom it had pleased God to recall to Himself. I lost her, but | did not see her die, as 1 had seen her mother die. She disappeared—she was stolen from me. She was acharming child, and but for her I had nobody in the world to love me. Gentlemen what | have suffer- ed cannot be described—you cannot com- prebend it. I have expended in advertis. ing and fruitless searches every thing I clothes. All have been sold. For three years, and on foot, I have sought for my child, in all the villages in three king— doms. As soon as by painting portraits I succeeded in gaining a little money, I re— turned to London to recommence my ad- vertisements in the newspapers. At length, on Friday, the 14th of Aprit last, I crossed the Smithfield cattle market. In the centre of the market a troupe of moun— tebanks were performing their feats.— Among them a child was turning on its ported by a halberd. A ray from the soul of its mother must at that moment have penetrated my own, for me to have re— cognised my child in that condition. It was my poor child. [Eler mother would perhaps have precipitated herself towards her, and locked herself in her arms. As for me, a veil passed over my eyes. *] threw myself upon the chief of the rope— _. Upon his-return, a bet was propos. ed, and Blades having no money (this is | a part of the game,) asked the loan of | $20, from Croplane. The money was) loaned and won, and Taylor walked off, with it. Blades and Croplane passed | dowa Vine Street together, and the first | ity that oecurred, Blades slipp- ed iuto some hy-street and got off Crop. | jane Made an affidavit at once before the | Magor, but the defendants were not ar. | rested for some time afterwards.

How can you expect the court and jury to look with fa— vor on your defence, or God to pardon you, | if you cannot forgive ? Prisoner.—“ I know, my lord, what will be your judgment, and that of the jury, but God has already pardoned me; I feel itin my heart. You know not—I knew bas a genteel appearance. | not then—the whole extent of the evil that man had done me.—When some compassionate people brought me my daughter in my prison, she was no longer my child; she was no longer pure and angelic as formerly ; she was corrupted, body and soul—her manner, her language, infamous, like those of the people with whom she had been living. She did not recognise me, and I no longer recognised her myself. Do you comprehend now? That man had robbed me of the love and soul of my child. AndI—I have killed him but once,” _ Foreman.—“ My lord, we have agreed in our verdict.” Chief Justice.—“ I understand you gen- tlemen, bat the law must take its course. 1 must som op the case, and then you will rclire to deliberate.” antes Pt aero Phe geil > psmaathd to jod bim with! ‘et gt women and men was im jense. thé women. y detétihined.fo carry him off. ia eraae zas. A NEWLY DISCOVERED MANU The St. Vincent Royal Indies Gazette men- fions that a gentieman of that island has sent to England a quantity of pezzolona, to have it tested as cement, was agreeably supprised to learn that the ehemist who tested it had de- clared itto be the best manure thar had yer ever been discoveted, and that it was far pref. erable to guano. ‘The gentleman in quéstion was complimented on bavigg a mine of wealth superior to. gold, When itis considered (says the Gazette) thet the island abounds in this valuable substance—the best cement, and. as it now appears, the best manure known, we can- not refrain from offering our publie cungratula- tions on the recent discovery, which must ere long bring great wealth into tne island by sup- plying them with an erticle which most be much needed bythe sugar growers. Pezzolona from St. Vincent could of course be supplied here much cheaper than guano, and might in conse- quence of its cheapmess be extensively used. St. Vincent is one of the Windward islands, about as far from us as Martinique, to whieh, we think, cargoes of corn are frequently sent from Virginia. It can not be expensive or dif- ficult to make a return cargo of pezzolona.— This material ‘is a kind of substance formed of volcanic ashes,’ and most probably abounds throughuut all the island, including Martinique, of voleanic formation, which comprise about half the groupe.

Upon a comparison of notes, it was found that there was a considerable amount yet lacking to make up the previous deficien- cy of $30,000, or upwards. Warren es- pecially, we learn, was behind hand.— The meeting adjourned over, however, to meet again at Shocco, on Wednesday, and it was confidently expected that the above amount would be made up. We understand, from a gentleman who se os» premises. that the prospect of making a favorable arrangement with iron capital- ists, as to a part of the remaining $100,- 000, is a good one. A word upon the whole subject in our next. P. S. We have heard since the fore- going was put in type, that the $30,000 was made up at Shocco, on Wednesday. ® Raleizh Register.

The South Eagle Tract is adjoining the Eagle,on both of which is a splendid water power of great force. I havea beautiful piece of Land in th® South Eagle Tract which I propose to lay off in small lots of one fourth of an acre each, for the ac- commodation of Merchants, Doctors, and Mechanics. All such persons would do well to give this rising place due attention. : “ There is a tide in the affairs of men Which, taken at its flood, Leads on to” happiness and wealth. Here is a chance. Capitalists would also do well to look this way. I need a little help to carry on more suc- cessfully, the enterprises in which I am engaged and on which I propose to enter. I am steadily progressing, however, though slow!y, with my original schemes, to wit: the erection of Factories for spinning cotton and wool, and for calico printing. But as I advance the prospect opens up, and invites to larger and more fruitful fields. This location for manufacturing purposes and for a Town, is very favorable. It is near enough to the great Central Rail Road, and in a very healthy region of Country. I will sell lots privately on the most favorable terms to suit purchasers. The water power on the South Eagle Tract, isimmense,and capable of driving almost any amount of Machinery. Early applications either for lots or an interest in the present or proposed enterprises will receive the most favorable offers. 3m4 ANDREW RBAGGARLY. Tredell Ccuniy, N. C., May 14, 1851 DR. M.

He denied the right of jurisdiction on the part of our government, and pledged himself that if a governor came there and attempt. ed its extension he would resist it tu death! The right of goveruship undisturbed by the authority of the U. States, he claimed as vested in himself for life. To the citi- zens of the United States who talked of their rights and privileges as American citizens, he would.say tht he was not a. menble to their government, and _ said, “now, as when at Nauvoo, he defied the combined wers of the U. States and all ° ’ > hell.” Thése’of us who were known to speak against Mormonism. or abuse the Mormons, he ordered should have their throats cut. ~ From that moment the emigrants be. came the predestined and prescribed ob- jects of Mormon %engeance. A report was started that I was then areporter for government, ands soon my property was seized and myself arrested and subjected to the insults of one of their prostituted functionaries, without any cause for pro- Secution or any charge to plead against. | Shortly after, five head of my cattle were shot down intheirlake. Five of their as- Sistants took upon themselves the pleasing duty. But I entertained no fear of them. On the contrary [ came out and declared my defiance of them. My whole solici- tude was for my family, and exertion was directeed toward getting them out of the valley. Being composed mostly of females, I had just cause to fear that if deprived of a protector they would never be per- mitted to leave that sink of perdition, for no intelligence against Mormonism is per mitted to be mailed. Dissenting Mormons and emigrants have told me that they have picked up in front of the post office parts of letters they had deposited to be mailed for the United States, bat in which they had expressed themselves too freely tor Mormons.

The steamship Union, lost on the 5th of July. was a fine propeller, built in Phila- delphia about two yearsago. A long ac count of her loss appears in the N. York Herald, signed E. R. Hickman. one of the | passeugers. gives them. The steamship Union. Capt. J. Marks, eft San Francisco tor Panama on the Ist of July, with about 230 passengers. She had, besides, 36 boxes of gold dust on freight. On the morning of the 3d there was a rumor that she nearly run into a schooner the night before, owing to hav- ing no lights on deck. This passed off. On the 4th of July they were out of sight of land. In honor of the day Capt. Marks had a gun fired. the flag raised, &c. The men indulged freely during the day, and many were intoxicated. On the 5th, about 3 A. M., a passenger named Holman, who had left the cabin for fresh air beard a roaring, and looking | towards the land, saw the breakers roll- ing on the beach. He could find no watch on the deck, and the helmsman, he said, was drunk. He attempted to give the alarm, but before he could do so the ship | struck a reef of rocks. with a tremendous | shock, but struck a second time. The first | mate then appeared on deck and cried, * Hard a port!” but it was too late, as the ship was then only 200 yards from the | shore, which was a bold bluff fifty feet high. with a mountain directly back of it, and which the narrator says. was distinct- ly visibly from the deck. The shocks received by the vessel are described as tremendous. Chandeliers and lamps were shattered and furniture tossed in every direction. The passen- gers were thrown into the utmost conster- nation. The vessel was soon lying a hope- less wreck among the breakers, threaten- ing to go to pieces every moment. When morning came, a small boat was | sent ashore with a line, which was made fast, and on its return it was reported a safe landing could be made. The 230 passengers crowded on the deck, await- ing their turn to be taken ashore, and in about five bours all were landed, togeth- er with provisions and all the gold dust except one box containing about $6,000. Captain Marks was the Jast man to leave the vessel, and when h nded the pas- sengers crowded and knowledge as to where they were, both of whieh, says Mr. Hickman, he re- fused. The missing box of gold dust is said to have been picked up, rifled of its contents —adout $5.000. A guard of fifiy men was detailed by Capt. M., to watch the. remaining 35 boxes, being promised a free passage to Panama for the service. In the course of the day a party of Mex. icans came and intormed the passengers that they were only six miles from the old | fortress of El Rosario, where asistauce could be obtained, and the San Diego was , leir hate and the prejudice ; 300 miles up the coast. The passengers | not detailed as a guard to the specie, de- termined to remove to St. Quintin’s Bay, where the steamer, for which an express had been sent to San Diego, was directed to stop.

All parties encamped here, and then a difficulty appears to have arisen between Capt. Marks and the guard of the specie, who had elected one of their number nam- ed Day as their captain. The guard, it appears, claimed $30,000 salvage. which Capt. Marks refused. The writer goes on and at this part of the narrative we quote his own words : “Our sympathies Were really awakened in bebalf of the unfortunate Marks, and we determined to visit the guard imme- diately, to get a full history of the breach. We there learned that Capt. Marks has submitted a proposal toa few of his friends among the guard, while at the wreck, to remove the gold from the place where it was then lodged down tothe beach at midnight, and as soon as light in the morn. ing, place it in the small boats, and con. vey it to some alter place. This created some suspicion upon the part of the guard which resulted, finally in a thorough search of Capt. Marks’ trunk. This search was made on the day of their arrival at St. Quintin.” “Capt. Marks had said that he had no money in his possession, and actually bor- rowed from somie of the passengers to fur- nish his express with means to defray his expenses to San Francisco. Some six or eight thousand dollars were found in his trunk, which he said on that occasion, was the proceeds of his own honest labor.” After this a serious altercation appears to have arisen, and the bitterest feelings arose among the passengers towards Capt. | Marks. On the 19th of July, the steamer North erner arrived at St. Quintin’s and took all the passengers to Panama, except some who went overland back to San Francis. co. PLEASURES OF MATRIMONY. I was married for my money. That was ten years go, and they have been ten years of purgatory. I have had bad luck as a wife, for my husband and I have scarcely one taste in common. He wishes to live in the country, which I hate. I like the thermometer at 75 degrees, which he hates. He likes to have the children brought upat home. instead of at school which I hate. I like music, and want to go to concerts, which he hates. He likes roast pork, which I hate; and I like minced veal, which he hates.

FACT AND FANCY. On last Saturday evening the steamboats hound for the several places on the lake shore were crowded by hundreds in pursuit of pleas. ure and pure air. Husbands went to see their wives, fathers their daughters, and lovers their sweethearts ; and several unfortunate bipeds, who bad neither wives, daughters nor sweet. hearts, went with the forlorn hope of attaining the first point in that happy series of causes and consequences which ought, at least once ina lifetime, to bless every son of Adam, with the possession of all three. We have only to do, bowever, with but one among the crowd—a well known citizen of New Orleans—a man of poetic imagination and ardent tempérament, who, on this occasion was about to pay a week ly visit to a wife and some half dozen children, at Biloxi. A lady on board had received from that polite attention which every gentleman is bound to pay to one of the sex when unprotect ed, or. in other words, when her mother duesn’t know she’s out. They sat together upon the * guards,” and each spoke of the beauties of na. lure ; but we regret to say that the gentleman did not allude, im the most distant manner, to the fact of his having a wife. * How this fresh breeze cools the fevered pulse and invigorates the frame,’ remarked the gentleman, ‘ and what visions of beauty lie above and around, as the boat dashes through the water this bright moon. light night, chasing the cares of business away, and bringing sweet and pleasing reflections.— See that glow which still lingers in the wes. tern horizon, where sky and water seem to meet ; does it not portray to the mind the glori- ous hopes of youth, which point to the dim dis. tance of the future and create an imaginary connection between earth and heaven? See the track of our progress, as it rests in foam up- on the surface of the lake ; and as the agitated waters still sparkle, it appears as ifthe galaxy was transferred to their cool depths. At early morning, when the white heath before us frin ges the lake, and the sun shining through the tree tups, casts their shadows upon the calm waters, fancy deems it Nature’s mirror, framed in silver aad with her perfumes hanging round it. And when at evening, if you shi.” seek the shadows of the forest, when a sweet little Jenny Lind is singing on every bow, you will feel that their joyous notes come with fresher gladness to the heart than the voluptuous swell of operatic music.’ Our hero stopped here for the want of breath; and a sweet smile from the lady thanked him for his efforts to please. At this moment, a fel low of rather unprepossessing appearance, step ped up to the lady and desired her to prepare to land, that they were nearing the shore.— She replied not; but cast a look of silent suf. fering upon our poetic gentleman, who’ was thrown into a perfect fit of surprise and com. miseration. The boat reached the landing at Pass Christian, the lady and her seemingly rough companion went on shore, and our hero, who had been watching her fina! exit, turned away with a sigh, and determined as the boat left the wharf, to drown his sentiment and sor. row in a brandy julep. It had quite a cooling and agreeable effect ; but when he sought his purse to pay the bar-keeper, it was not to be found. He stood mute for a moment; but the memory of all that had passed came rushing upon him, and slapping his empty breeches. ket, he cried: * Done brown, by ! | felt her leaning against me as I spoke of the connection beiween heaven and earth.’ The purse contained within a few dimes olf We learned the story from the Child destroyed by a Wild Beast.—Yester- day in addition to the tremendous hail shower years, was sent into a pasture near the house for some purpose, but oot returning in due time, a search was made for it; and soon some of its iimbs were found, the most of its flesh having mal. ‘This discovery brought out the fact that some of the neighbors recently had had glimp. whose den from its actions they supposed must be in the woods near by.

It was the boast, we were told last night by a passenger, of the American Freebooters | engaged in this foray that a Phalanx of some thirty Americans armed with these cylinder rifles, shot eighty out of one hun- dred and ten Spanish soldiers attacking them. Indeed, the contest between the Spaniards and the Americans was of a most bloody character. for Spaniards, re- ports tell us, own up to four hundred and fifty killed or dangerously wounded on the field. Now, here is an island, peaceful. pros- perous, and for all we know content, thus invaded the second time, by no nation, be it remembered—under the sanction of no Government, bear it in mind—with a flag. at the start, therefore, piratical, recogni- sed by no legal authority on earth. And these freebooters—piratss, rather, for in the nomenclature of nations that is their real name—fire. burn, shoot, cut, slash, slay the people they find there, under the pretence of giving them “liberty.” Soldiers in the discharge of their duties to their Government are shot with cylinder rifles. Cubans themselves in armsshare a similar fate. Whatever opposes or resists them is rathlessly destroyed, cut down. or fired. In short, an island in a state of apparent peace is thus, of a sudden, subjected by strangers to all the horrors of war.

Bring the case right home to our- selves, in supposing that the Abolitionists | of England or of the Northern States should take it into their heads thus to send a steamer from Liverpool or Boston to Louisiana, to bring “the blessings of lib- erty” to the slave population there ; and who doubts then that the Louisianians would shoot them, as they would mad dogs in the fields or streets ? It is of no use to reiterate the lie that the Cubans are all in arms, that a revolu- tion exists, and that such a Government is created as justifies foreign intervention. These are the mockeries, the monstrous falsehoods created for the New Orleans press, and for the New York press in part, which led the deluded fools on board the Pampero, and which have sacrificed them on Cuban soil. Ifthe Cubans de- sire a revolution, they have given no sort of proof of it; but, on the contrary, every passenger in the Cherokee represents the people themselves to be pronouncing the invaders as “devils,” (diabolos.) coming | out to Cuba to murder orto plunder them. The feeling, indeed, we, see, was so hitter against our countrymen in the streets of | Havana—not among the soldiers, the rea- der will remember—that our people in the Falcon and Cherokee were badly treated, and not safe among the Habaneros them. selves. that there is no sympathy with the inva. These are indications, nay, proofs | firmed by not less than twenty Atericans now in New York who saw the ‘execu- tions. They all confirm the truth of “the account brought by the messenger of Ad- ams’s Express. i The Express has also the following re- ) marks, drawn forth by the publication of certain fabricated des Orleans: et | “© The Press teems with falsehoods respect. ; ing the Cuba insurrection.

They pretended to communicate the substance of private letters from Havana to the 16th instant, which an- nounced the triumph of the invaders in Cuba, who, it was said, had been joirgd by four thou- sand of the Spanish troops, when the fact was that on that very day a large body of them were publicly executed at Havana.

The enormous majority in favor of ex- eluding free blacks from further immigra- tion into Indiana commands universal at- tention. The blacks themselves have held a State Convention, to see what they shalldo. As Indiana has done the very thing that South Carolina has been com plained of for doing.—that is, excluding tree blacks—it is but fair. ifa case is to be made for the Federal Courts to try, to make it now against a Free State, and, until it is made, to let South Carolina a- lone. The “Lafayette Journal,” a paper which bas been hitherto tinctured with Aboli- lionism, but in which, of late, we are pleas- ed to see, are larger views and better reasoning. Says :— “The free colored population of the U. States amountsto about halfa million, and the major portion of this number are en- gaged in menial occupations in our large cities. Asageneral thing,tbey appear to be contented with their lot, but the action of several of the States, in passing prohib. itory laws to their further emigration, like Indiana, is arousing them to a proper ap- preciation of their destiny.

Tothis rule of expatriation the black race is inevitably tending. We are more and more convinced of this every day. over the vote in the several counties, we find ourselves in a minority of over ten to one. We voted against that clause be- cause it made no provision to colonize the blacks from the country.” The editor makes a prediction the force of which we feel.

Abolitionism, under cover, only means political and social equality, and that is nmalgamation ; and just in proportion as that thing is threatened, the whites will rise and expel the danger from the soil we live on.

Y. Express. ASTOUNDING INVENTION. We notice an invention by Mr. Solomons, of Cincinnati, of what be calls a perfect substi- tute for steam.

This fluid, without any heat applied at all, exerts a pressure of 516 pounds to the eqnare inch, while water in the game unheated state has no pressure but that of gravity. Mater heated to the boiling point yields a power of fifteen pounds. This fluid, with the same heat, would yield a power ot nearly 12 000 pounds.

CALIFORNIA—HER POSITION. California at the present time, occupies a somewhat anomalous position. trade languiehes, and there are thousands who are hardly making a living in our commercial portion of those engaged in trade can scarcely clear expenses. ‘To supply a pocu!ati6n of one hundred, or one bundred and fifty thousand miners, we have a porylasion of half as many merchants. In every portion of the State these men are to Ge found—from the dealer in his millions tg the man whose,stock in trade scarce- ly teaches the sum of ten dollars. Califor. nia very truly may be said to be acommunity of traders, and the great misfortune is that they all expect to become rich by trading, with this undue proportion of actual producers. there was a merchant for every one, two or three inhabitants, that all could not succeed.— ‘The amount of gold, however large. acquired by each miner, would not suffice to susiain this vast number of shop keepers. and fifty to three hundred thousand.

They are rather preparing to do something in the fu ture, which will be prodnetive. ‘The mechan ics are partially, exceptions to this rule, but to no great extent. It we set aside for agricultu- ral and mechanical pursuits, together with those who are following no regular accupation, one fourth of our population, there will remain another fourth who are simply traders. Ifthe estimate which we give above is not strictly correct, it will at least answer our pur- pose to-day. Who cannot see that where one fourth of a population is engaged in trade, eith necescarily be small?)

The New York Commercial, speaking | of the restoration of confidence among monied men, says that it is attributed in some measure to the continuous receipts of gold from California. Thus, the Cher- okee brought og freight. and in the hands of passengers, ahout $1.800.000. The pas- sengers of the Brother Jonathan, 400 in number, brought about $250,000. In ad-. dition, the Winfield Scott, from New Or- leans, brought $116,000. The Marion, from Charleston, and the Brazilero, from The Cana. da. at Boston on Tuesday, brought about. $1.000.000 from Liverpool. These items make a total of $2,500.000 in four days, while the exports within the same time. amounted to less than $500,000. The balance, it will be seen, is decidedly in our favor, and to the extent of something like $2,000,000. Surely, the prospect can. | not bat be regarded as favorable under these circumstances.

But this is not @&@ the work that has been done in Rowan. Messrs. Bailey & Wood have had an esti- mate made, and their excavations and embankments amount to 3,000 cubic yards. Messrs Partee & Co., and several others, have done acres of grabbing, clear- | ing, &c.; so that their contracts are now ready for the plough and shovel.

CREAT EXCITEMENT IN NEW OR. ~. ANS. (Telegraphed he Charleston Courier. } New Orveans, Aug. 21. A party of Cuba liberators, mostly western mgn, exasperated by the tone of the Spanish paper La Patria, attacked on Thursday after. noon the office, broke windows and _ dvors, threw press, cases. type and furniture into the street, and destroyed every thing belonging to the office. The police did not interfere in the matler. * Afier demolishing the Union (2) office, the rioters proceeded to a segar store, situated at the corner of St. Charles and Gravier streets, where they broke the doors and windows, and destroyed all the stock and furniture which was very valuable. : The rioters proceeded at 7 o’clock P. M. to the Spanish Consulate, where they destroyed the desks, furniture and property of all kinds, and broke down the sign, which is now being carried in triumph to a meeting in Lafayette. -quare, New Orveans, Aug. 22. Two thousand men surrounded, this morning, the city prison, where the Spanish Consul bad taken refuge, and threatened to demolish it, un- less he be delivered. About fifiy of the police aye on the ground. The segar shops kept by Spaniards were nearly all destroyed during last night. Minute guns have been fired since sun. rise in honor of the murdered liberators. The hodies of Vietor Kerr and Col. Crittenden at. traet many visitors and produce much feeling.

MEETIING or CUBAN SYMPATHISERS New York, Aug. 22.—There was an im- mense gathering of the friends of the Cuban patriots in the Park to-night, the assembly num. bering not less than 20,000 persons, There was a great display of banners and transparen. ces—the Cuban flag occupying a prominent position, Hon. E. T. Purdy, presided, and the meeting was addressed by Captain Rynders, Judge Reed, of Ohio, Ex.Consul Carr, and oth- ers. Great indignation was manifested againat the Spanish Government and the American Consul, as well as the Authorities at Havana. The meeting adjourned to meet again to-mor- row night. MR. WEBSTER.

The negroes immedi- ‘ately advanced, one having an English scythe, with which he split Mr. Bartlett’s head open across the centre, or rather the back or crown, the scythe going in the ‘full width. Mr. B. lived about six or se- ven hours, retaining his senses except when tainting. The negro then turned upon Mr. Cle wes. and cut his skull from (14 inch of the eyebrow, across toward ‘the temple on the other side, about five inches, cutting to the brain. He is yet living, and strong hopes are entertained of his recovery. The negro then turned on Mr. A. G. Bartlett, who attempted to ‘shoot, but in raising bis gun fired too soon, and it is supposed shot him in the leg.— The uegro then struck at him and cut through the “shader.” niaking a deep cut in the sight and barrel of his gun,—Mr. | ) Bartlett receiving two severe cuts in his ‘thumb and arm near the wrist, (and bas had some bones taken out since ;) he how- ever fought with his gun barrel and suc- ceeded in knocking t thought him dead. turned to the assistance of He (Bartlett) then Mr. all-fours, stabbing and wounding him se- verely in the neck with & knife.

When heard of last, the pursurers were in some two or three miles of them. One of the negroes attempted to go home and was taken, andshe and the one taken by ESq'r Hale are in jail. There are strong suspi. cions against a Mr. Bacon (of whom you may have some knowledge.) as being in. stromental in bringing about at least the attempt of the negroes to run away.— Meetings are being held in this, and I an- derstand in my own county (Wythe) to take measures to stop the abolition move ments of Mr. Bacon and his followers.” Frederika Bremer on Married Men.— The Boston Atlas says that Benedicts should make the accomplished Swede their best bow, and give her a piece of plate, in token of their thanks for the fol- lowing hearty testimony in their favor as aclass. Moreover, they should all join fervently in the wish that her time may come soon, toenjoy what she appears so soulfully to appreciate, the value of a good married man. She says :— “ 1 confess, then, that I never find, and never Have found, a man more loveable, more captivating, than when he is a mar ried man; that is to say, a good married man. A man is never so handsome. nev- er so perfect, in my eyes, as when he is married—as when he is a husband, and the father of a family—supporting in his manly arms wife and children, and the whole domestic circle, which, in his en- trance into the married state, closed a- round him, and constitute a part of his home and his world. He is not merely ennobled by this position, but he is actu- ally beautified by it. Then he appears to me asthe crown of creation; and it is only such a man as this who is dangerous to me. and with whom I am inclined to fallin love. Bat then propriety forbids it. And Moses and all European legisla. tors declare it to be sinful, and all married women would consider it a sacred duty to stone me. Nevertheless 1 cannot prevent the thing. It is so and cannot be oth- erwise ; and my only hope of appeasing those who are excited against me in my further confession, that no love affects me so happy, as that between married peo ple. It seems to me that J, living unmar ried, or mateless. have with that happi ness little to do; butitis so, and it always WAS So.” MARBLED.

If he dors not omneet with Jesse Holmes, (fool killer.) be will be back before the next issue. thas been a long time since he has been 104 miles from home, and there is no telling what might happen. We bope this trip will be pleasant if not profitable—don't yowkind reader? We wish it distinctly anderstood that we are not going to bay out the Greensboro’ Patriot, or purchase the re- ~mainder of the stock of tbe Central Rail Road.— Lincoln Courter. The Courier man’s apprehension of his fate on meeting the executioner alluded to was doubtless well founded ; neverthe- less he had little to fear, in case of Mr. Holmes commencing the discharge of his commission about home—there being e nough work hereabouts to keep bim ar duoasly employed for some time to come, | {the present company excepted ] Our brother of the Courier, theretore. conscious as be may be of his just deserts, need not be afraid of the fvol killer, unless he should meet bim by accident, in which case, doubiless, h@ will be knocked on the head out of sheerfpoliteness and in considera- tion of the distance he comes to dare his fate. P. meeting the Editor of the Courjer in ou den, and he is a downright cléver fellow. Moreover, if the fool killer should ever attempt to slay him, we shall vote to de- prive that officer of his commission, and of his big stick he kills people with, tor the want of proper judgment in the ex ercise of his office.—Greensboro’ Put. We had intended to warn the Editor of the Courier while here, to be on bis guard ashe passed through Davidson county, since that county is the place of residence of the identical Jesse whom he seemed to fear. But he leit before we could do 80. that pass, for which we rejoice; and the more, as Llomes’ judgment is not a point as well settled in our mind as that Eccles is not a fit subject for the practice of his profession. ° P.S. We are credibly informed that Jesse Holmes did meet with the aforesaid editor, and had a mind to deal with him; bat on takiffg a good look, he concluded that he was not his man. Jess reports that he once tried bis hand on just sucha looking chap and came very near being killed bimself.—Salisbury Watchman. A correspondent anxiously enquires whether Jesse Holmes, the foo! killer ac- tually lives about here, and whether there is any danger of his being present at Au gast court and other public oecasions.— Our correspondent doubtless represents a Jarge class who desire information in these respects, in order to avoid the danger which they are conscious awaits them. We answer first, that to the best of our knowledge and belief, Holmes, the tool: killer, is not located in these parts; that he has no permanent abiding place his business requireing that he should itiner ate to and fro over the face of the earth and walk up and down in it continually : | in short that he is the individual that struck Billy Patterson. Secondly, if he is a sensible person, and entertains ordinary regard for bis own ease, he will hardly be present in the dis- charge of his official duty at August court: he would find too big a job for bim to un- dertake at once, considering the weather. Greensboro’ Patria. If Jess has got through in Davidson, we have a job for him in Concord—a fat one too. He owes us some favor for the no- toriety we have given him. the only re- compense we ask is security for the fu- ture, We fear he has left the State, as he was much needed in Yorkville. If the Edtors of the Miscellany have escaped with whole skins, we hope they will give us some information on the subject. Our brothers in Salisbury and Greensboro’ need not fear as long as there is a big ham and and a little grist to be had.— Lin. Cou. Jesse Holmes who of late Has travel’d the State, To get all the fools in his shackles, Pass’d by t’other day, Direct on his way To Lincolnton after Tom Eccles. And, as he went through, He swore it was true, For big hams he would’nt give ‘ beans.’ Bince a penchant he had had, For the Lincolnton lad, For very fond was he of greens. Concord Mercury. Ie it trae that Jess Holmes A change of mind owns In relation to editor Eccles? With countenance bland He passed by tHe man, And ne’er said a word about shackles. Jess Holines then confessed To friends he knew best, That Tom was not one of his mea. We applauded his sense And gave him six pense And have heard nothing of him since then. Is Bingham in earnest ? Has Jess gone up West ?— He will not find Tommy Eccles there ! Will he go down to York 1— Ave, there he'll find work A plenty—and a plenty to spare! Jess Holmes is a man, Bat to err is haman, And Tom Eccles had better consider it. For if be’s in York found When Jesse comes round He'll beat him to death, or give him a—fit! Salisbury Watchman.

This may be so; I intended to have said more and thought | bad. For this conduct he arraigns me before public opinion. All that I have to say in reply is, that I could not, with my opin- ions of the man, consistently with sincer- ity, recognize him asagentleman. Such pretended reconciliation wouJd have been in conflict with my deliberate opinions, entertained for more than 12 months be- fore, and the vilest hypocrisy on both sides. I determined that no false notions of politeness or honor should place me in that position. Notwithstanding my assurance that | did not intend to fire upon him, he has clossed his manifesto by saying that “ no- a few contemptible slaves, who will say | anything they are paid for, and perhaps a \few old crazy women.” Now I have the satisfaction of believing that my word would be taken as true, by this whole community—even by the gentleman him. self, upon this or any other question, with- out other proof. It is only because he wishes it otherwise, that he pretends to disbelieve it. But for the purpose of tore- stalling the influence of his slanderous paper, I propose to give the facts to the public. 1 had not shot any sort of gun, ten times in ten years next before we met, and had never before, on any occasion, shot a du- eling pistol. My pistols reached here but the Monday betore, directed to Dr. Whit- ted, in whose possession they remained until we went upon the field. On being urged by him to practice, ] refused, on the ground that I did not intend to fire; and when we got upon the ground, the pistols were so rusted that one was loaded with | difficuity, and the other could not be load- ed at all; but the bullet partially pushed in it, was extracted by Mr. Fuller, of this place, after my return. Looking to the | possibility of a fatal result, | prepared a | paper containing my opinions of the man, the motives that influenced him, the rea- son of my acceptance of his challenge, _and also a declaration of my purpose not | to return his fire.

The New Orleans Delta of Friday eve- ning publishes the following letter from Adjutant Stantord, which partially ex- plains the manner in nate countrymen met their untimely fate, | and is the first publication which throws any light upon the circumstances which led to Crittenden’s command having been made prisoners : “Havana, August 16. “Dear Huling :—We arrived on the Island of Cuba, after the most horrible passage you can conceive of, cooped on board with 400 or 500 men. “ We arrived on Sunday last, I believe _dates I have almost forgotten. The next morning, Lopez, with General Paragay and all the commanding officers, left us— (I mean Crittenden and his battalion.)— We heard nothing of him for two days, when Crittenden dispatched a note. He then requested we should join him at a little town some six or eight miles off, leaving us in the meantime to take care of all baggage, &c. We Bane for him on Wednesday morning, at 2 o'clock, A.

STANFORD.” From this and from a comparison with the official reports of the Spanish officers, the Picayune constructs the following nar- rative, it considers to be a more correct d probable one than has yet been given. “Gen. Lopez on landing ner Bahia Honda, with the main body of his forces, consisting of about 300 men, advanced towards Las Pozas, a small town a few miles in the interior, leaving Col. Critten- den and his command, 114 strong, in charge of the baggage. That night or the next day, the steamer Pizarro landed 700 Spanish troops at Bahia Honda, and these advancing towards the place of Lo- pez’s landing, cut off Crittenden’s men from their companions. On the second night afterwards this party determined to attempt to form a junction with Lopez, but on the road were attacked by an over- whelming body of troops, and after a short struggle were on the second charge routed and dispersed. After wandering about in the thickets, fifty of them got together and made their way to the sea shore, where they seized tour small boats and endea- vored to make their escape, when they were captured as has been related in the official report of Admiral Bustillos. There are still sixty-four of this command to be accounted for. Of these, forty were sur- prised and shot at a small farm house. A Spanish lieutenant reports that on the 14th he came upon twenty “pirates” guarding an equal number of wounded comrades, allot whom were immediately put to death. The remaining twenty-four, or such of them as had not been killed in battle, probably continued to wander in the vicinity until, we are forced to believe, they were also taken and slaughtered.— The other party, under Lopez, it seems, received the attack of the Spaniards, in a farm house at Las Pozas, and beat them off with severe loss, at least so it is sup posed, since the Spanish official reports state that they desisted from the assault in order to receive reinforcements. Whe- ther any subsequent fighting took place at this point we do not know; at all events, Lopez held his own for two days—till on the 15th, he left for the interior, and was not molested on his march by Gen. Enna; all of which we learn from the Spanish official accounts. This was the state of affairs on the 15th, the date of our last advices from the scene of action, through Gen. Enna’s despatch, dated at 3.30 on that day. If General Lopez reached the mountains in safety, he will discover soon whether he has relied with too much con- fidence on the assistance of the native inhabitants. The True Delta publishes the letters furnished it by Messrs. Stanton & Co., and are those of the writers: * On poarp THE Man or- War Espe- RANZA, Aug. 16, 1851. “My Dear and Affectionate Sisters § Brothers: “ Before | de, lam permitted to address my last words in this world. “ Deceived by false visions, I embarked in the expedition for Cuba. arrived, jthout any thing Spent a night upon or the : welve | after we landed.

I send-my wateh to you, it is for little Benny, my nephew. Good bye, God bless you all. ; Truly yours, GILMAN A. COOK.” In reference to the foregoing, the Cres- cent remarks as follows: “We scarcely know how to construe these letters. We do not think that they charge wilful desertion or treachery upon Lopez ; but we do think they charge upon him a want of plan and foresight, and announce, further, that reliance upon the assistance of the Cuban Creoles, is at best a feeble hope. We confess we suspect | there is some point and force in these im- plied statements. ‘Had there been any actual treachery, any wilful desertion on the part of Lopez, the fiery Kerr, and chivalic Crittenden, would not have failed to have written to that effect in terms of manly and indig- vant denunciation. It is nonsense to sup- pose that Lopez behaved treacherously or in bad faith. A man has only to look at his position to see this. The fate of Lo- pez is in the contest, and now the soil of Cuba must bear him a conqueror, or cover him a corpse. He has no alternate be- tween death and victory. He is cut off from escape from Cuba. He is, with a price upon his head, surrounded by all that Spain has of power in Cuba. In such a position he needs men, and every soldier is invaluable to him. Bad faith or treach- ery would be the worst of folly orinsanity. “But the letter of Adjutant Sanford gives a key to the whole matter. Crit- tenden and his party were assigned the duty of bringing up a portion of the bag- gage, a necessary, perilous and honorable duty. Discharging this duty, encumber- ed with the baggage, a Spanish force in. tervened between them and the main body of Lopez, and communication was temporarily broken off. Before it could be resumed, as will be seen from Havana letters we publish to-day, Lopez had some hard fighting, and could not communicate with Crittenden. When he did commu. nicate, and Crittenden started to join him, a large Spanish force again intervened, and the unfortunate result was as Adju- tant Sanford has sketched it. “That Lopez should peril a whole force to go to a detachment was impossible, and contrary to all rules of reason and of war. And yet on this it appears to us, must any complaint solely rest. Kerr makes none; Crittenden, so far as many of his friends in this city know, (and they have a letter from him.) makes none. Treachery or bad faith cannot, therefore, from our pre- sent lights, reasonably be imputed to Lo- pez. In reference to another matter, aid from the Cuban Creoles. It has been long known that they have no arms, and cer- tainly till they have these and a respect- able American force in the field to en- courage them, a general outbreak on their part is not to be expected. go to Cuba. they must, for the present, re- We think it proper to say this, in all fair- ness. A truly brave man looks all con tingencies in the face, and, fairly consid ‘ered and wisely provided for, he meets ‘them without terror and without surprise. ' As journalists we aim to state facts with clearness and candor. We wish to see | Cuba free, and we deem it a matter of. plain common sense that this result will headlong daring—by wise prepartion and | sober calculation, than by heedless forays ‘and ill ordered expeditions.

LATER FROM HAVANA! | Gen. Enna killed by the Patriots ! !—Gen. Lopez marching on the City of Hava- na!!! By the arrival yesterday at this port of the schr. Merchant, Capt. Westendorff, ‘from Havana, whence she sailed on the / 22d ult., we are in receipt of further ad- | vices from Cuba, which confirm the re- "ports previously ‘between the Spanish Troops | riots under General Lopez, in which the latter were victorious. We cannot rely upon the | Havana, but the information we have re- ‘ceived, though very scanty, we believe to be trom a source which may be fully re- lied upon. We are informed that Gener- al Enna, the Ist in command ol the Span- ish troops, and 2od in command of the Island, was killed by the Patriots in the battle of the 17th, together with four or Gen. Enna’s body d in state two days at Havana We learn also that Gen.

The Creoles at Havana were highly elated at Lopez’s success, and they are daily making accessions to his army, American vessels are closely searched. and a strict watch is constantly kept upon all American citizens on the Island. They troops at Havana. The accounts of the death of Gen. Enna explain the report re- ceived here of a despatch having been puton board the Cherokee. just before sailing from Havana to the Spanish Min- ister at Washington, informing him of the capture of Gen. Lopez. We presume the despatch to the Spanish minister related to the death of Gen. Enna and not to Gen. Lopez as bas been reported. Gen. Enna was not instantly killed, bot was died the day after the batile. The reports of the inhuman massacre of Col. Crittenden’s cominand and the cru- elties and outrages perpetrated upon their bodies are fuily confirmed. : By the Merchant we have received our regular files of the Faro Industrial, to the 20th ult. We learn from this paper that on the 17th, the Captain General distributed bre- vets, &e. to 35 officers and soldiers who were wounded in the battle of Las Pozas. It also contains an official communica. tion of the Captain General, dated the 19th, which states that General Enna was dangerously wounded in a battle with Lopez, at a place called Carambola. From the New York Evening Post. THE EXECUTION AT HAVANA. The Cronica, a paper in this city in the Spanish language, and in the interest of the Spanish Government, publishes letters from Havana of the 15th instant, in which an attempt is made to apologise for ¢he execution of the fifty-two prisoners be- longing to the expedition of Lopez. We translate a few passages. One of these letters say : “] believed that I saw, in the first days after the landing of the pirates, a general discontent, not that they had arrived, for of that every body was glad. but on ac- count of the impression which prevailed, that an inclination to lenity and a spirit of temporizing had been manifested by the Government. When the fifty prisoners were brought in this morning, every body asked, If these pirates had been success ful in exciting a civil war, what would have become of the lives and the proper- ty of the whole white race of this island ? Have not the methods of lenity, patience, and resignation been tried without pre- venting these attempts from being re. peated with more vigor and audacity than | before? In what manner are these ban. dits to be restrained and inspired with respect for our rights and our territory !’” After relating that the fifty prisoners were executed in what the writer calls obedience to the “ torrent of public opin- ion,” and in presence of an immense crowd of spectators, the writer says: liking these people are held here. An- other circumstance not unworthy of re- 'mark is, that among the twenty thousand 'spectators who distinguished themselves ' by their hisses, invectives, taunts, and | cries against the pirates were the negroes, | who swarmed on the ground.” | This is probable said in allusion to the reliance placed by the Government, in the last resort, upon the blacks, both free and otherwise. The following paragraph is from the same letter: “The American war steamer Viren has entered this port four or five times. the morning of the 12th she was announ- ced in sight of the port, with anotber steamer nearher. The other made move- ments which appeared suspicious, until at last she disappeared. The people on the | _wharves and the officers of the marine deemed her appearance suspicious. The | Viren came to the mouth of the port, and her commander went on board the vessel of the captain of the marines, when, be- ing asked concerning the steamer seen in ‘company with his own, he replied that | *he did not know what she was; she had 'no appearance of being Spanish, and cer- tainly was not North American.’ And yet the suspicious steamer was the Pam- pero. ment ?” says: - action. | were greatly moved, /in his countenance. | better if the captor, in | the instructions given, cellency, and avoiding sad and disagreeable.

Carregn- DEN, a nephew of the Attorney General. Cuba.—To an article on the subject of Cu. ba, and its affairs, the Fayetteville Observer appends the following as a Postscript : P. S. I have just seen Mr. Lawrence, of Cal- ifornia, formerly of Fayetteville, who was wm Havana at the time of the execution. He and others bad come from California by the Nica. ragua route, and had to wait in Havana for the Cherokee.

Improvements.—The offices, premises, walks, gardens, and parterres about the President's House and grounds are under- going considerable repair, alteration, and improvement. Several things bave been done of late that tend tu the comfort and convenience of the establishment and its occupants, as well as to the visiters and others that traverse those grounds.— Curves have been straightened, side gates put in, old and decrepid fences exchanged for new and substantial ones, parterres protected from undue intrusion by light and tasteful fences, and the whole made to wear a lidiness that formerly, in the less conspicuous parts of the establish- ment, was not sufficiently apparent. An- other month, and we doubt not that the White House, its appurtenances, gardens, and grounds will be in a better condition than at any previous time.

Nat. Intelligencer. The Reaction in South Caroliua.— The Greenville (3. C.) Patriot of the 8th draws the following contrast between the present state of public sentiment in the State of South Caroli- na and the prevailing feeling within its borders several months ago: “It is, indeed, amazing to see what changes take place in public opinion in the short space of a few months. Last fall the whole State seemed to be fur secession. Now, if it was left to a vote of the people, a majority would be found opposed to it. Six months since there was not a newepaper in South Carolina that did not advocate disunion and secession. Now we have the Southern Patriot, Hamburg Re- publican, Charleston News, Southern Stand- ard, Columbia Transcript and Erskine Miscel- lany, all opposed to secession. ** Not a whisper was heard, when the Legis- lature met, of any popular expression against secession. Recently Hamburg has, with great unanimity, declared herself in the opposition. Four thousand persons at Greenville Caourt- house, on the 4th July expressed themselves, by the preamble and resolutions adopted, hoe tile to secession. Horry district did the same ata public meeting on the same day. “ Last fall there was not heard a single voice from the leading men of the State in opposition to secession, except from Col. Grayson, Mr. Poinsett, Gen. Hamilton, and Gen. Thompson. Since that time we have seen letters oppoeing, with great ability, the separate action of the State, from Judge Cheves, Judge Butler, Judge | O'Neal, Col. Preston, Dr. Lieber, Judge With- | ers, Dr. Dickson, Col. Burt, Col. Chesnut, Col. | Orr, Mr. Barnwell, Col. Brooks, Col. Boyd Col.

A Telegraphic despatch, bearing date at the office of the New Orleans Picayune on the 1st of September, says : ; “ The New York morning papers received here fur the past few days contain most exag- gerated reports with reference to the Cuban outbreak. These despatches bear date at New Orleans; but, so far as this paper can learn, scarcely one of them is worthy of the least cred. vt, and in many instances they are direct false- hoods.” What will some of our ill-natured contempo- raries say 'o the above—especially those of them who have Leen so lavish in their abuse of this press for exposing the falsity of the re- ports here referred to by the Picayune ? We are pleased to find the fullowing rational suggestions in the Balumore Clipper ot yester- : a, ° 1.

I! this statement be true, it is evident that he has not been joined by the Cre- oles, and that hia visit was unwelcome to them —in which case he has incured a fearful re- sponsibility in enticing men to engage in the expedition by false representations. There is ae thing roanecied with the Cuban expediiion which requires explanation. There are a great many Cuban emigrants In the U. States, who are expending their money freely in inducing American citizens to engage &- gainst the Spanish authorities—and who repre. seni the Cuban population to be’eager to rise in arms against their rulers—and yet these same emigrants take good care not lo venture their own persons in the enterprise. If they consider it so easy a maiter to expel the Span. ish Government from Cuba, why do they re- luse to put their own ghoulder to the wheel 1— Do they want others to fight the battles, and they reap the benefits? It would seem 80 from the course they are pursuing.

The Lopez Expedition has failed. Our advices from reliable sources state that Lopez was taken prisoner at San Cristo- bal on the 29th August. He was brought to Havana on the 8lst, and publicly ga- roted on the morning of the Ist Septem- ber at sunrise. One hundred and fifty-five prisoners, who were taken are said to be condemn- ed to ten years’ hard labor in the chain- gang. The conduet of dur Consul (Mr. Owen) ig vindicated by our correspondent.

O46 the sixteenth of July a discussion arose in the Congress or lower House of the Cortes at Madrid on acall for information “ evncer. ning the antecedents of the last expedition of pirates commanded by Dun Narciso. Lopez a- gainst the Island of Cuha,” in whieh Senor Badia, a deputy who has lived much in Cuba, after speaking of the annexation of Texas and the invasion of Mexico, the attempt of Lopez at Cardenas last year, and the threatening of another attempt this year—goes on thue : * Some persons in Euope inquire, how ean such excesses be committed, if the opinion of certain Gascoial nitn is Gpposed to all these annexations? The explanation is easy.— When, in- the United States, an opinion becomes popular, statesmen do not govern, they are governed. ‘J am the Government,’ says the people, and so the thing comes to pass.— Down to the early part of the preseat century, the Anglo Americans, faithful to the religioxs sentiments and the humane maxims of Wash. ington, when he retired to private life, acquired territory, as in the cases of Florida and Louis. jana, by treaties, and according to the princi- ples of international justice. But of late years. as if the law of nations were a dead letter, they threaten, invade, and occupy foreign territory, as if the world of Columbus were their own exclusive property. And thus it is, gentlemen, that [ entertain a deep conviction that the De- mocracy of North America will compromise the peace of the world.” Afier some further remarks of the same sort, the Marquis of Miraflores, one of the Ministere, and a very accomplished statesman, replied : * Senor Badia has just pronounced a dis- course which both the Congress and myself have heard with the greatest pléasure. ‘The desire fur information expressed by the gentle. men who have sustained the proposition for en- quiry cannot be more praiseworthy than it is, but the explanations asked for by Senor Badia, might, perhaps, compromise the Government.” He then speaks of the explanation given on a former occasion, to which he refers Senor Badia, and concludes with these words : “ All I can say to Senor Badia ie, that, at the present time, /he naval force of England and France and the State of our relations with those countries offer us the certain means of pre- serving the integrity of our invaluable island, [nos offrecen medio seguro de conservar la in- tegridad de nuestro preciosa Antilla]—bdeing able to assure the Congress that, while the Spanish Government pussess in the Isiand of Cuba a brave General and great elements of internal strength, none can attack our territory with impunity.” After a tew words, of no importance, from Olozaga Gonzales Bravo, Senor Badia, at the request of the Marquis of Miraflores, withdrew his proposition for an inquiry, and the subject was dropped. The report is in El Heraldo, Madrid; July 17.—Nat. Int. VOLUNTEERS. The New O:leans Daily Delta, of the 27th ult., says we would again caution all persons, who desire to volunteer in the cause of Cuba, against coming to the city without being provi- ded with the means for obtaining transportation. The city is less able at present, than many other parts of the South, to contribute means to fit out expeditions, and it is quite vain to come here without ample means. In the face of our advice, hundreds have flocked here, who expect, on their arrival, to find money, steamboats, sup- plies, and every thing at their command, and are disappointed when they discover their error. It shall not be our fault that they are not duly warned, that it is both useless and inconvenient for them to flock here in such numbers, unless they bring means with them. The country is richer than the city, and could better spare the money. Let the rest of the Southwest contri- bute according to their means, as New Orleans has done, and the present state of things,—the presence in our midst of three thousand men eager to proceed to Cuba, but having no trans- portation,—would not long exist. The following paragraph, copied from the New Orleans Bulletin, written before the news of the failure of Lopez was known there, con. tains suggestions and facts which shed further light on the reckless rashness of the Expedi- tion which sailed from New Orleans under his command : “ Tt rather indicates a wavering, if not a want of confidence in the success of the expedition, on the part of its friends, to be anticipating con. lingencies. The cost should have been calcu. lated beforehand, and all the hazards anticipa. ted. ‘The adventurous men who embarked in this crusade were fully advised of the risks that were to be incurred. ‘They knew that they had 'o run the gauntlet of American, English, French, and Spanish cruisers, who were on the look-out for them. If they fell into the hands of the latter a short shrift awaited them ; it they were captured by the cruisers of foreign pow. ers, theirlives were safe, although their designs should be for the time frustrated. be taken with surprise, whatever their fate may be. The vessel in which they embarked sail. | ed without any papers or credentials of her char. acter ; and she has tempted the dangers of the | seas and of enemies without the protection of a national ensign.” The Albany Register states that on an anal. ysis of the green and red coloring matter of Candy, they are found to be composed of dead- ly poisons ; the former is made up of arsenite mercury. Several cases among children, which have resulted nearly in death, have recently occurred in that city from eating green and red candies. ‘The green iz the most poisonous, and one of the largest hearts colored in that way, on analyzation, was found to contain enough arsenite of potash to kill a child.

NATIONAL CHARACTER. Every citizen of this republic is as much in- terested in preserving the purity of our nation. al character, as he is in anything that pertains to our interest or prosperity. The idea that the Government should be slack in maintaining an independent and honorable position, is revolting to the pride and the patriotism of every right. minded citizen. Such a citizen could not bear his government justly branded as faithless to the obligations of treaties, or as guilty of any act that would sink us below the highest or place us beneath the most honorable of the nations of | the earth. For our own part, dearer than life we love the principles of republican liberty and the rights of man. With us it is no abstract theo- ry—no vision of the imagination—bul we enter heart and soul into all the sympathies that af. fect the mterest, the happinese and the freedom of the masses—and we are ever ready to lend our feeble aid to right the injured, to raise up the oppressed, and to vindicate, as far as is possibly consistent with the order and harmony | of society, as a system of “liberty and equality.” | But none of these are paramount with us, to | public virtue and national honor. We have no fellow feeling with the noisy braggarts, the licentious brawlers, the unprin. | cipled deceivers, who incited by the worst pas. | sions of our nature, perpetrate crimes at home and commit depredations abroad, under the hal- lowed name of liberty. Who mislead our brave and noble youth by deception and false pre- tences—who violate the public law and sneer at its integrity—who strive to bring our own | Government into ridicule, and hope by public meetings and clamorous demonstrations to force | the Administration into a position that will make ts the fit subjects of scorn and contempt among the nations of the earth—thereby min. | istering aid to the doctrine of aristocrats and kings, that the people are incompetent for self. | government, and that no republican government can sustain its authority against the influence | of a licentious mobocracy. Our desire for the diffusion of liberty abroad, will not warrant us in desecrating its conserva. live principles at home. We are not to assure mankind that democratic republicanism is the political ** pearl of great price,” by teaching them how to trample under foot the institutions and Jaws erected under its auspices. Our true lesson is embodied in the words : “ Hail, sacred polity, by freedom reared! | “‘ Hail {reedom sacred, when by laws re. strained !” We express the opinion a few numbers ago, | that it is the duty of all citizens, of every party toaid the Government by word and deed, in its efforts to preserve unsullied our national faith, and to conform its action to the law of na- tions. We trust, at least, that the best and bravest of “a great and valiant people,” will be found warding off the missiles of detraction and abuse from the President and his Cabinet, aod rallying, at this peculiar crisis, to the res. cue of our national banner from lawless polu- | tion and infamous name. It is an act too mean, even for party, to use | the incidents of the present occasion fur elec. | tioneering purposes. If we were sure that we would be compelled, from the force of honest | convictions, to vole against the present Admin. | istration, we would throw no obstacle in the | way of the honorable course it is pursuing, at | this time, if it were in our power to do so—but | would rather say to the President : | “ Be just and fearnot; let all the ends thou | aims’t at “ Be thy Country's, thy God's and Truth.” ; we are satisfied if Mr. Stanly is elected, | \* i rial, | all the intolerance of the Puritans, who fled frommpersecution in Europe to per- secute America.” “As ifto afford a proof of all this,” (says the Boston Transcript.) “the office ot ‘La Union’ was sacked a few days af- terwards and demolished. The mob also attacked the office of ‘La Patria,’ another Spanish paper in New Orleans, broke in the windows and doors, and threw the cases, types, and furniture into the street. In fact, they destroyed every thing belong- ing to the office, and there was no inter- ference on the part of the police.” A Naturalized American Citizen kept _Cuptive by the Austrian Government.— It is not long ago that an American citi- zen was arrested and thrown into a dun- geon in Hungary, on mere suspicion, by the Austrian authorities, and it is now our painful duty to record another arbitrary act of the same tyranical power, against a most distinguished naturalized Ameri- can citizen—Professor Bargnani—an Ital- ian of high standing, well known in this country asa member of the New-York Christian Alliance. We translate from theNew-York L’Eco d'Italia, the follow- ing correspondence onthe subject, dated Turin, August 4th: Professor Bargnani, from Brescia, Lom- bardy, exiled for many years, from his native land, was a long time in the Uni- ted States, of which country he became a citizen, and had an American passport.— Residing for two years in this city, he applied and obtained from the Austrian Legationin Turin, permission to visit Bres- cia, for a limited time only, in order to settle some family affairs. After he had accomplished his business, he was pre- vented by the Austrian police from leav- ing the city of Brescia, and cannot return to Turin, where his wife and children re- side. The answer given to his numerous petitions is, that the Austrian government permitted him to enter the Lombardy ter- ritory, but not to leave it. We hope that our government will look into this matter, and put an end to such practices of the Austrian authorities a- |gainst peaceful American citizens.—N. |Y. Herald. SINGULAR OCCURRENCE. The Florence correspondent of the London Times writes, under date of July 16th, a singular occurrence which is nar- rated in the Gazette dei Tribunali of that place, which we condense as follows: A reckless, dissipated young man of rank at Florence, having fallen sick, and found himself dying, was much importuned by friars to relieve the offices of religion, but steadily refused to the last; whereupon the friars threatened that the devil would claim his body as soon as he was dead. To prevent this, the dying man called a Corsican friend to his bedside, andexact- ed a promjge that he would watch by his side until his body was safely deposited in the tomb. The man died, and the Corsi- can kept watch accordingly by the side of the corpse, in the convent chapel, where bodies are exposed for 24 hours before bu- At midnight, as the clock struck twelve, a figure entered, disguised after the usual description of the devil, with tremendous horns, a long tail, a chain girt round his body. and draped in red and black, as his satanic majesty should be. The Corsican bad a bold heart, and he asked the devil what he wanted. The devil replied by an awful groan, the rat- ling of chains, and the outspreading of claws to seize his prey. The Corsican, still undaunted, declared that be would not allow the body to be touched, and he warned the devil that if he did not leave the place, he would send him back to his infernal regions faster than he came from them. To this speech the devil re- plied by a scornful laugh, such as Zamiel in “ Der Freischutz” used, and with ano- ther rattle of the chains advanced to the cotfin-side, which the faithful friend pro- duced a loaded pistol, and taking sure aim shot the devil through the heart, and drop- ped bim at his feet, dead—as they say at Armsterdam, asa herring, or at Birming- kam, as a door nail. The report of the pistol alarmed the police—and a number of those guardians of the night having appeared, they saw to their astonishment the corpse lying in its proper place, the Corsican sitting tran. quilly by its side, and a bleeding mass covered with red and black, with a tre- THE CAROLINA Wana Salisbury, N.¢ he friars of the convent declare | ash rte “ere story,is & fabrientionyand instruction hat inister of insteaction anpounces t en persecute the Gazzetta dei Tribu- nali for having inserted it. é Pt, mm ee THURSDAY EVENING, SEPTEMEpy The annexed communication in rela» Na tion to the stone’ coal, will be found very SUPREME Covgr. : ; The writer promises shortly | - Opinions have been delivered in the ga se crcrare an article on the mineral! pro- | by this Court in cession at Morganton es OWin 0 ¥ : Vin: Aostions of the section of ae | Teacescisth J.

Extend the view to the conduct and action of Nations, and a parallel to this picture may be found in every page of history. If such a work as we bave suggested were compiled, and accessible to every honest in- quirer afier truth, the experience bequeathed by one generation to its successors would not be wholly lost, even though for the present dis. | regarded. produced by the deteriorating intoxication of success. ‘lhe most exalied interests of Na- tions would be shown to depend on the very same principle as the success or the failure in life of the most humble individual. In Socie. ties, the family in which harmony and perse. vering uvion of action prevail, seldom falls, and always deserves to prosper. So in Govern. ments, in unity there is strength: in disunion there cannot fail to be weakness, disorder, and eventual misery. Produce the conditions, and cause and effect will follow. We have already faintly shown what Italy | was, and what Italy is—and what France was, and what France is; and why the one country aonce glorious prosperity, and the other has 'o overcome barbarisin ; to reunite instead of dislocating the Provinces of a most splendid part of the earth’s surface ; to givetoa people speaking a common language the kiudred ad- vantage of a common Government. another theatre of human vicissitude, in which similar causes have produced like effects.

Involv- | ed in the long distracted Frank Monarchy, it ; Was not indeed until in the reign of Charlem agne that Helvetia assumed a distinct provin- | cial position, Civilization advanced, and shield. _ed by mountain walls, the peop! have ever since maintained a distinct nationally.

Let not the reader hastily | mistake inchoate elements for structure. ‘The idea of a Republic was not even excited ; it fol- lowed as a consequence in the course of events. But, defective as was the ducal form of go. | vernment under the House of Zaringen, when compared with modern ideas, it was no doubt the best which existed in Europe, when in 1257 | Uri, Schwitz, and Unterwalden formed with | Zurich the first mutual defensive league which | eventuated in that republic so renowned in af. | ter ages under the name of Switze:land, from | the canton of Schwitz. It ought to be carefully observed that it was from the same chain of events came the first Helvetic league, and that rose also to imperial power Rodolph, Count of Hapsburg, the ances. lor, of the yet existing Imperial House of Aus- -tiia, Men inhabitants of the imperial towns, and free lands of Helvetia sought the protec. tion of Rodolpb against the nobility, and gave to his standards the best infantry then in the | world, Harmony did not long endure between Ro. _dolpb and his Swiss allies : war and peace fol. lowed until the death of Rodolph in 1291, and ‘the attempt of his son and successor, Albert, to seduce the Burghers of Uri, Schwitz, and Un. terwalden (o change their dependence on the Empise, and come under the direct authority of the Emperor. ‘This produced sume years of discontent. ‘The Swiss, as we may now calli them, refused, and one false measure after an. other widened the breach through 1307. Imm. perial pride blinded the Imperial Council, and injustice, embittered by contempt, induced the free Swiss to fly to open resistance, which of course led to independence. There is no doubt of the general fact, but evidently much of fable in .the record of inci- dents which led to the formation of the Helve. tic union. In one respect, which we cannot pass unnoticed, the philosophy of history was remarkably sustained in both the great epocha of Helvetic history. From the invasion of the country by Julius Caesar to the Swiss Confed. eracy (1308) thirteen and a half centuries had passed away, and from the reign of Charle- magne five centurics had elapsed. No ade. | quate benefit can be gained by historical study, without the scale of time. We are now to open the glorious age of | Swiss history, and to see, though faintly, how many centuries it cost to reach independence, _and how much of blood and time has been ex- | pended to maintain that independence. | \ | | NEW CALCULATING MACHINE. } ; : 4 | An extraordinary calculating machine, says { the London Times, is now placed in the Rus- sian Court. [tis the invention ofa Polish Jew, named Staffel, a native of Warsaw, and works addition, subtraction, multiplication and divis ion, with a rapidity and precision that are quite astonishing. It also performs the operation of extracting the square root and the most com. plicated sums in fractions. ‘The machine, which | the inventor calls Arithmetical [nstrumentalis, is | about the size of an ordinary toilet, being about 4 inches by 9 inches, and about 4 inches high. | The external mechanism represents three rows of ciphers. ‘The first and upper row, contain. ing 13 figures, is immovable ; the second and third, containing 7 figures each, immovable.— The words addition, subtraction, multiplication and division are engraved on a semicircular ring to the right, and underneath is a hand, which must he pointed to whichever operation is to be performed. ‘The figures being proper- ly arranged, the simple turn of a handle is then given, and the operation is performed at once as if by magic. ‘The most singular power of the instrument is, that if a question be wrongly stated—as, for instance, a greater number be. ing placed for subtraction from a lesser, de. tects the error, and the ringing of a small bell announces the discovery. The inventor has exhibited the powers of this wonderful calcula ting machine to the Queen, Prince Albert, and several persons of distinction. ‘The inventor exhibited a machine for ascertaining by weigh. ing the fineness of gold or siiver, but this is to be substituted to further and more severe tests. Both machines are, to say the least, extremely curious, and have been rewarded with a silver medal by the Russian Government. During the week the director of the Bank of England visited the machine. ( | Great Invention.—Vhe Intelligencer’s N.Y. Correspondent says he was recently shown a plan of a capital invention, by Mr. Edwards, of the house of Edwards, Sandford & Co. ; It was for the artificial manufacture of ice, by which, with a simple contrivance, not larg. er than asmall * refrigerator,” an individual in the tropics, or any other habitable region, can freeze a gallon of water to a solid block of ice in the space of one minute! ‘This will be a great thing for the planters.” Gathering and Preparing Manure.— | Without manure. no farmer can farm to advantage— With manure, his land will yield fruitfully, improve in quality and he grow rich. Now, what is the use of ex- pending your horses’ and hands’ time in- trying to grow corn on land that only yields 2 and 3 barrelstothe acre? There is no use in it—you wear out your plows and other implements, exhaust the pow- ers of your team and plowmen, and, make no money. Whereas, had you taken a couple ot good hands, and a team or two, you might have collected manure enough to fertilize that very land, so as to grow 8 or 10 barrels to the acre; we have, in an experiment, grown more than twice the largest quantity, and so can you if you try.

The South Eagle Tract is adjoining the Eagle,on both of which is a splendid water power of great force. I havea beautiful piece of Land in the South Eagle Tract which I propose to lay off in small lots of one fourth of an acre each, for the ac- commodation of Merchants, Doctors, and Mechanics. All such persons would do well to give this rising place due attention. “ There is a tide in the affairs of men Which, taken at its flood, Leads on to” happiness and wealth. Here isa chance. Capitalists would also do well to look this way. Ineeda little help to carry on more suc- cessfully, the enterprises in which I am engaged and on which I propose to enter. I am steadily progressing, however, though slowly, with my original schemes, to wit: the erection of Factories for spinning cotton and wool, and for calico printing. But as I advance the Prospect opens up, and invites to larger and more fruitful fields. This location for manufacturing purposes and for a Town, is very favorable. It is near enough to the great Central Rail Road, and ina very healthy region of Country. I wil! sel! lots privately on the most favorable terms to suit purchasers. The water power on the South Eagle Tract, is immense, and capable of driving almost any amount of Machinery. Early applications either for lots or an interest in the Present or proposed enterprises will receive the most favorable offers. 3m4 ANDREW RAGGARLY. Iredell Couniy, N. C., May 14, 1851 DR. M.

The American yacht America, which went over from New York to England, has proved fleeter than the fleetest vessel on that side. The following letter on the subject. under date of London, 19th Au- gust, which we copy fromthe Philadelphia American, will be read with interest : England has enjoyed a_ world-wide fame for her fine squadron of yachts, which the noblemen and gentlemen belonging to These gentlemen are now enjoying them. selves at their clubs at the Isle of Wight, where their annual regattas come off.— The last great race of the yatching world will take place on Friday, the 22d, and it | is open to the clubs of all nations, | less than seventeen of the finest ecu) afloat will contend for the prize, a cup of | the value of one hundred pounds. The American yacht America. Commo. dore J. C. Stevens, has entered as a com. | petitor. The appearance of this beauti- tul craft off Cowes has caused an extra. | ordinary sensation in the Yacht Clubs, for | with a few of the English yachts, and has — in every instance ran away from them | all! Last week a few gentlemen were ready to stake bundreds or thousands a- | gainst her, but since they have witnessed | her speed. they have not accepted Mr. | Stevens’ challenge to the Yacht Squadron, of the Kingdom, on the pleathat Mr. Ste- | wens proposes to start with “at least a) knot breeze” and requests permission to | “boom out,’ which is against the rules of | the Royal Yacht Club. Mr. Stevens of- | fered to run his yacht against any yacht, | and for any stake up to ten thousand pours. | believe up to this date the chal- lenge has not been accepted. Meantime | the deepest interest is manifested in the | crand Regatta of Friday. Several Ameri- | cans, who had intended to depart for home | to-morrow, will remain expressly to Wit: | ness this race, for it is not yacht against itin operation is by a small iron rod which pass- yacht, but America against the world. In the absence of political news, the London press takes up this subject in an earnest manner, and have their special corres. pondents at the Isle of Wight to report everything connected with yachts and yachting. > No |$ | with a certal the appearance of “the Yankee.” She did not show any superiority till she was | off Ryde pier, ” when she seemed as if she had puta screw into her stern, hoisted her fore and aft foresail, and began to fly through the water. She passed schooners and cutters just as a Derby winner pas- ses the ‘ ruck,’ and as the breeze freshen- ed, slid with the speed of an arrow out towards the Nab, standing upright as a ramrod under her canvass, while the | schooners were staggering under every _ stitch they could set, and the cutters were heeling over ynder gaff topsails and_bal- loon jibs.” The America went about “ in splendid style, spianing round like a top. and came bowling away towards Cowes as fast if not faster, than ever. As if to let our best craft see she did not care about them she went up to each in succession, ran. to leeward of every one of them as she could and shot before them in succession com- /ing to anchor off Ryde at least two miles | charred and moistened contents. s 5 ahead of any of the crafts she had been running against.” Having landed Mr. Stevens, she afterwards sailed for Cowes, “and bowled away like a sea gull, leav- ing all the boatmen and yachtmen witha deep sense that she was ‘a tartar.’” The Times entreats the English shipwrights to lay aside the delusion that they are the best builders in the world, and to take a hint “ even from anenemy, and follow the models of the Yankees, instead of per- sisting in their present shape and mould of bow, beam, quarter, and run.” The Times states that the anxiety respecting the result of the great race of the 22d, is deep and earnest, and that the course round the Isle of Wight is notoriously most unfair @o strangers; and, indeed, is not a good race-ground to any one, inas- much as the current and tides render lo- cal knowledge of more value than swift sailing and nautical skill. The advices by the steamer America to 24th August, state that the challenge of the American yacht to sail against all the English, was notaccepte]; and that at the regatta which came off on the 22nd the * America” was triumphant over all competitors.

National Intelligencer confirms the statement that some citizens of the United States of high | standing having, afier negotiations during the : ses summer, obtained from the patentees in Eng. land the right of fabricating and vending Phil. lip’s celebrated fire annihilator, they have in| conjunction with other respectable gentlemen — at Washington, formed an association for carry. | | ing into effect, in the most vigorous and exten- ive manner. their laudable and interesting ob- | $s ject. The Intelligencer adds : “The members of the company have been in conference in Washington city several days past, and the result of their meeting, we under — ' stand, has been the appointment of the Hon. | ‘their motto, whether in business or plea- | it Elisha Whittlesey as President of the Compa. ny, and P.

In the in- side cylinder is placed a block of composition, greatly resembling in appearance, tagte and smell, gunpowder ; though of course, not pos- sessing its delonating properties. In the cen tre ef this block is an orifice, in which is placed | a vial containing two or three kinds of acids. A small orifice, which communicates between the interior of the machine and copartment under false bottom, in which the water is con. tained, is stopped up with soap or beeswax, and ‘the top having been placed on, the Annibilator ‘is ready for operation. ‘The mode of putting es duwn through the top and rests on the vial. | Pressing this down at once breaks the vial, dis charges the acids and the combustion of the | block of composition immediately takes place. | An intense heat is at ounce produced, steam is almost instantly generated from the water in| /the bottom of the vessel, and this steam pass- The | Rawlings, and were witneseed by a numer of gentlemen who had been invited to be present. Several! barrels of shavings and chips, saturated with turpentine, and fully ignited, were easily extinguished by the gas thrown from it into the barrel. A further experiment was made yesterday af. ternoon by Messrs. Shoemaker and Peters, in an open lot adjoining the Vulcan Tron Works of Messrs. Murray and Hazlehurst, in presence of a number of gentlemen angious to test the utility and efficiency of this important invention. A tar-barrel, thoroughly saturated, and filled with shavings, and dry boards split up, the whole well soaked with turpentine, was set up on endcn an iron frame to admit of free draught from below, and ignited; in an instant the con. tents were enveloped in flame which rose with violence some eight or ten feet above the edge ofthe barrel, At a time when the combustion was most intense, and the heat had fairly taken hold of the boards and the sides of the barrel, | the instrument was put in operation, and a | stream of the gaseous fluid, which was instant. | ly generated, directed upon the flaming pile.— The effect was astonishing. Although proba. bly, under the disadvantange of an application in the open air, but a small proportion of the | gas evolved by the instrument was actually dis. charged upon the flame, the whole was extin- ) guished in twenty five seconds, and nothing re | mained but the reeking barrel and its black, Not a spark was to be seen, yet the power of the instrument was not exhausted until some time after it had accomplished its work. | | | | } { | THE METHODIST BOOK CONCERN CASE.

He was there perfectly desperate ina fight. One of the officergrelated to me a little scene which occurred at Buena Vista when the whole brunt of the Mexican advance was borne by an Illinois Regiment. It seemed as though they would be annihilated by su- periority of nurabers, when a young Suck- er drew his rifle deliberately, and drop- ped a Mexican. “Set up the pins!” and the whole regiment took up the word and atevery fire would sbout—“Set up the pins.” The officer said they fought like demons, and with as much drollery and fun, as if on a spree. At another time, when a charge was ordered, one of the officers could not think of the word, and he shouted * let her rip!” when the whole line burst out with the yell, “ let ‘er rip!” and dashed in among the Mexi- cans, laughing and shouting the new bat- tle cry.” 0?

It was | first observed by Maj. Allen, who was struck by one of the falling pieces. ‘The shower last. ed two or three minutes. ‘The pieces was from the size of a pigeon’s egg upto that of an orange—the heaviest perhaps weighing three ‘ounces. No birds were visible in the air at the \time. Specimens of this meat, which is appa. / rently beef, were preserved by Maj. Allen and | the Surgeon of the post. A piece thal was ex. | amined three hours after it fell, showed a por- tion of a small blood vessel, some of the sheath of a muscle, and muscular fibre. It was slight. | ly tainted.

Two Irishmen were left in charge of a ship while its officers went ashore, and strictly enjoined not to make or permit any noise on board; but a jug of “ould ity for “a bit of a spree.” was too great a temptation for them to resist. They ine dulged freely, and as many of our public men have been known to do, soon drank themselves into a very patriotic spirit when one says to the other, “ Be jabers an let’s fire a salute.” “Agreed,” says the other, “but that wud make the devil’s own noise.” “Tut, man, we'll stop that, just you hold a bag over the mouth of the gun, me darlint, an we'll bev a roarin salute with- / out any noise af all at all.” Pat acquiesced in the arrangement, and held the bag as diricted, while the other touched off the cannon. The _ officers | hearing the report, hastened on board, | where they found one of the Irishmen and everything in a great state of bewil- derment.

Few of the debates which have sprung up} during the present session of the Legislature of Connectiout (saysthe Hartford Courant) have heen listened to with more alleation, or have srearcoPerclica a deeper interest, than that which occupied the atlentionof the House on the third reading of the Lill ‘to prevent the de- struction of certain small birds ;’ and, though some time has passed since it took place, the interes! to see it in print is so general that we have endeavored, with the aid of some who took part in the debate, to collect what was said on thal occasion. The bill was reported by the committea on the judiciary, and provides=— ‘Vhat any person who shall shoot or in any other manner kill, destroy, entrap, ensnare, or otherwise capture upon Jands not owned by himsell, any of the lollowing -birds, viz. robin, blue bird, swallow, martin or swift, night or musquilo hawk, whip poor will, cuckoo, king- bird, wake-up or hiyhbole wood pecker, cat- bird, long tailed thiush or brown thrasher, mourning dove, meadow lark or marsh quail, fire-Lird or wax-bird, ground robin or chew- heat, bob.o-Jink or ricebird, sparrow, yellow. bird, or phebe, shall be punished by a fine not dollars. On its a a reading there appeaved to be in some qu@ters a disposition to ridicule the bill, as scarcely worthy the attention of so dig. nified a bédy, and the whole matter was spoken of as ‘ gmall gaine,’ Onthe (Hh reading, Mr. Andrews of New Britain, endeavored to give a different tfen (tu the debate and the feeling of members on the subject. Mr. Andrews said he rose for the purpose of moving to add the list of birds proposed to be protected by this bill the names of several others which had been omitted. he spoke of the great value and interest of the race of birds, not only on account of their beautiful plumage and their delightful melody, hut as forming a most important link in that chain by which the whole visible creation was united, and the com. parative numbers of the various races of ani- mals duly regulated. ‘hey are designed to act @ most important part in the economy of natura, by holding in check the tendency of the insect species to increase to myriads, and, like the locust of the east, to sweep from the earth every vestige of the vegetable creation. ‘That such a tendency to increase on the part of the insect tribes actually existed, and tbat without the requisite checks the whole earth would be Jaid waste by them, was sufficiently apparent to all who lad deeply reflected upon the sub. ject, But gmong the checks to this increase none were probably more important or effica- cious than the feathered songsters of the fields and the groves. Ever in motion, with keen eye and eager appetite, they were every mo. ment seizing upon their prey as it lurked be- neath the bark of trees or crept over leaf or flower, and thus kept in check the most de- structive enemy with which the farmer or the florist was called to contend. But while thus engaged as the farmer’s most efficient coadju- lor aud friend, it was his misfortune almost ev- erywhere to be treated Jike an enemy, and even to be persecuted for the very acts which most redounded to the beveflt of man. Mr. A. remarked that several years since, while travelling in Western Carolina and Vir- ginia, he passed through a forest where the tim- ber on some hundreds of acres was all dead and decaying. Inquiry was made of a countryman respecting the cause of this devastation. He replied that the trees had been killed by wood peckers, which had been increasing in that neighborhood for some years, and though they had killed as many of them as possible, it was all to little purpose ; that they were continual. ly pecking the trees, until the whole forest far and wide wae destroyed, ‘This was a good ex. emplification of what our farmers and their sons were constan!ly doing. ‘These wood peckers had doubiless been drawn together by the my- riads of wood worms, the grub of the Buprestes and other insects bred beneath the bark of the forest trees, and which were at that time en. gaged in devouring the fresh wood deposited beneath the bark of those trees. The real en. emy wag concealed from sight, and the friend who was searching out and destroying this ene- my, wherever his keen ear detected their stealthy gnawings, was taken, like the poor and faithful dog of Llewellyn, as the destructive foe, and like him consigned to swift destruction. So it was now with the blackbird, which was ever ready to follow the farmer through the fur. rowed field, and to seize upon the worm whose secret mischiel was disturbed by the unexpect- | thief. ed inroad of the ploughshare. ‘FPhrough every day of the long summer he plied his useful la. bor, but alas for his safety! [t was said that sometimes in the early spring, while searching for the grub, which would soon, if not detected, destroy the buried corn, he mects with few, a very few kernels of that corn which his efforts are tending to protect, and incontinently de- vours them. Mr. A. wished that notwithstand- ing this sin of ignorance onthe part of this use- ful bird, he could see in the House a disposition to protect his life from the wanton attacks every- where made upon il; but he feared to propose it, lest it should bring the other little songsters into danger from being found associated in the samme bill with a bird that bad suffered so much ia his good name. He would, however, ven. ture to propose to add the woodpecker and a few other confessedly harmless tenants of our fields and forests. Mr. Boardman, of New Haven, said: It was | some eminent genius, [think it was Goethe, | who said, * Phe works of nature are ever to me a freshly uttered word of God.” 1 sympa. thize earnes'ly in that sentiment. We are eve. rywhere overwhelined with proofs of the power and gooduess of that God who has made all na. | ture beauty to tbe eye and music to the ear. Our { brilliant sun, and clear pure air, which even Ktaly cannot surpass ; our gorgeous sunsets ; the dark !asuriance of our furests ; the rieh and varied products of our teeming evil, are ever objects of grateful contemplation ia the morn. ing’s dawn or the evening twilight. At euch moments nothing so fills the heart with grati- pade, and ofien the eye with tears, as the free, joyous singing of the birds in the garden and orchard. i! stirs tho purest, gentlest, sweetest sympathies of our nature. It civilizes and re- fines the heari—and if I were desirous of edu- caling a youth fur happiness and useluloess, I would begin and never ease leaching him to ad- mire aad jove the beauiiful and wonderful works of God, fis easily taugtt—let the father or the friend give tongue to his own thoughts in the hearing of the boy, and tell him what to admire in the painting of the sunset, the melo. dy of the grove, the beauty of the flowers, the forms and tints of the landscape, the music of the restless ocean—no lessons can be more permane! or ellective. If generally taught, we should soon redvem our national reputation ? from the charge of a want of taste and refine- ment. We are called at times a nation of young barbarians, and,althaugh the charge is not true, | am sorry ‘o say there is something to make it out of. There is no people in the civ- ilized world among whom the destructive ten- dency is so prominent as in the young Ameri- can—nothing escapes his gun and his knife. In the grounds of the capitol at Washington, a beautiful flower, raised with great care and ex. | pense, cannot be preserved a minute wiltout the | constant vigilance of the police. Now in the garden of the Tuileries and the Schoenbrun, the most exquisite productions of nature and art are exposed every day, within reach of the eyes and hands of millions, who love and admire them more than cur people could possibly do, and yet not a flower js ever touched. Such beautiful objects are regarded with a venera- tion that removes all fear of injury. Public opinjon founded on cultivated public taste is the best possible security. Children can be taught to love or hate anything. The Lapland boy of | ten years delights himself, above all things, | with blubber—and the first real feast of the | Northern soldiery, upon their entrance into Par. is, was made upon the oil of the street lamps. It is easier to cultivate a taste for the true and the beautiful. Let the school master, in our primary schools, himself feel in his own heart the beauty and magnificence of the works ot God, and speak of them to his boys with the enthysiasm they ought to inspire, and which led the Psalmist to exclaim, ‘*Oh that men would therefore praise the Lord for his good. ness, and declare the wonders that he doeth for the children of men!” I would require it as a school exercise—every new day, every de- clining sun, should bring its glow of gratitude and admiration. Thus should we strike at the root cf the destructive propensity of our boys, and implant in its stead a love of the beautitul in nature and art, a source of never-failing en- joyment, In the meantime, sir, let us punish the young barbarian for destroying the singing birds, and, if he has no feeling himself compel him to respect that of his civilized neighbors. Mr. Howe, of Hartford, said: I should not bave detained the House by any remarks of mine upon the bill now under consideration, had not a few words which I playfully spoke the other day when it was under consideration, been re. ceived by the chairman who reported the bill as designed to cast ridicule upon it. Nothing was further from my intention, and on the spot I so stated privately to him, and I now desire before the House to utterly disclaim any such de. sign on my part, and to say, from the bottcm of my heart, I desire its passage. ‘The gen- Uleman from New Haven has alluded, most ap propriately and impressively, to the different habits of the people of Europe as compared with our own in relation to the subject now before us; and most touchingly has he portray. ed to us the sacredness with which, from their education and habits of life, all classes are ac- customed to preserye their public parks and gar. dens; and jn this particular how unfavorably our own American citizens compare! It must be observed by every intelligent American, in his visits to that country, and I think nothing coming under his observation arrests his atten. tion quicker, or strikes bim more forcibly, than when, on his first visit to Paris, as he walks in an afternoon to the extensive gardeng of the Tu. ileries, in its centre, and beholds them filled, at great expense, with the choicest and rarest plants and fluwers, as well as rare domesticated birds, all open to the public, frequented by all classes at their will, still remaining untouched and unharmed. It is a beautiful sight, sir, to see the citizens in humble life, with bis little family around him, towards the close of the day, enjoying there, free as air, the beauties of that lovely and enchanting spot; and there, sir, germ and grow the finer sensibilities of our na- lure. And now, sir, if there is one propensity which I would eradicate from the breast of my chil- dren, it is that which leads them to destroy the feathered warblers which frequent our fields and parks, or our gardens ; and while I would not unreasonably abridge the eports or pastime of my friends from our country towns, I ask them confidently, sir, to aid us in the passage of such Jaws as will enable large towns so tor. tunate as to have parks, or private individuals residing in them so much blessed as to have grounds altached to their residences, that the litle songsters that frequent them may be pro. tected from the ruthless hand of the destroyer, and thus be preserved one of the dearest and most enobling accompaniments to our earthly residence that God has given us. Mr. Burr, of Killingworth, moved to erase the long tailed thrush, as he wasan arrant corn- Mr. Boardman.—I hope not, sir. The thrush is the sweetest of our singers, the prima donna of our troupe. When he sings with a full heart the whole air is filled to intoxication with bis gushing melody. He is greatly superior to the nightingale of England, and even the Swedish Nightingale herself has listened to him with perfect admiration and despair. Could I have every thrush in the State on my own grounds, | most cheerfully would I feed them for a tithe of the melody that theyfurnish to the gentleman of Killingsworth everyday. Mr. Burr replied that he was well aware that the thrush was one of the sweetest songsters in nature’s grand choir, yet it was nevertheless that he was a great annoyance to the farmer, and he was therefore reluctantly compelled to move to strike out his name. Mr. Andrews, of N. Britain, said that though he was a farmer-and the son of a farmer, he had never heard anything said until this morn- ing against the character of the thrush. In this part of the State this beautiful bird bore an excellent reputation, and if in any other section he had lapsed into dishonest habits, it must have been because in those sections he had fallen into bad company. He should be very sorry to see him stricken from the bill. Mr. Boardman.—One word more, Mr. Speak- er. A great diversity of opinin exists among farmers concerning the depredations commited | upon their crops hy birds, A law was once enacted in Virginia offering a hounty for the destruction of the crows that destroyed their | eorn. <A watof extermination followed, and of the corn also; for in many districts the ravages of the worms were such, after the removal of crows, that the farmers would gladly have paid back their money if they could bave establish. ed the dynasty of the crows again. Mr. Burr again insisted that-the thrush was the cause of much mischief in the farmers’ corn. fields, and appealed to the farmers present to sustain his position. Mr. Benton, of Guilford, said he was one of the farmers appealed to, and desired to say he had never beard the thrush evil spoken of ; he was of the opinion that if they disturbed the corn in Killingworth, it was because the Jand | was so poor that it would not produce worms.

Several persons objected, on the ground that this bird was an enemy tothe whole insect race, and could not be well spared. The good he did far overbalanced the evil. Mr. Phelps, of Windsor, coincided with the He thought the birds did more good than harm, and he wished any gentleman whose fields wére troubled by them to call upon him, and be would tell them bow to obviate the mischief without killing them.

Mr. Osgood moved to amend further by in serling the quail. He was for putting an end to the poaching propensities of certain profes. sional hunters, who go strolling over people’s premises, banging away at everything, and thus endangering the lives of the people in the ru ral districts. Some one thought the quaii already protected by the laws respecting game ; if it was not, it ought by all means to be inserted in the bill. Amendment adopted. Mr. Godfrey, of Fairfield, moved to insert the humming bird. Adopted. An amendment in favor of the wren was al- so adopted.

Mr. Boardman said that, at the suggestion of an eminent naturalist, he wished to add the rosebreasted gosbreak. It was a beautiful bird gardens in this vicinty. Amendment adopted, and bili as amended passed, THE ADMINISTRATION AND THE LAWS. While we find the administration con- has taken to prevent lawless expeditions into C iba, the Charleston Mercury char- ges it with “not executing what it claims case of Cuba, nor has it made even a de- cent attempt to perform what it has as. sumed to be its duty in the premises.”— The Mercury says it has “a right to con- clude that this has been by design.” It intimates thatitis Mr Fillmore’s object ing foreign broils,’ and adds; “The recent candidate of the Administration will make it extremely difficult to avoid a foreign war.” “Nowhere,” says the Mercury, “has the administration made any effec. tive preparation to execute the laws of the United States, except in South Carolina, and that avowedly against the supreme authority of the State.” That these assertions are unjust, few dispassionate minds will deny. Yet the fact that one section of the opposition charges Mr. Fillmore with a too rigid per- formance of his duty, and another, with designedly neglecting his duty for the pur- pose of involving the country ina foreign war, shows that the opposition to his course with regard to Cuba, arises froma captious party spirit which will not be satisfied with any steps he may take.— The allegations against him destroy each other, and prove that the Democracy can- not agree among themselves upon a ver- dict in regard to his course. Others will agree, however, that the administration has exerted all its legitimate authority to preserve the National faith, which is the only ground for the charge that he has gone beyond his duty in the executions of the laws, and that he exhibits an equal readiness to sustain the honor of the coun try, which is the only ground for the charge that he designs to involve the country in a foreign war. tions to be well founded, that journal ought to derive great satisfaction from the fact. Ifthe United States get into a for- eign war especially with England. South Carolina can then avail herself of the al- fighting her battles “solitary and alone,” presence on its seaboard it now so bitterly complains, might then have their hands full, with a British squadron firing in their | front, and the chivalry of Carolina firing | on their rear !—Richmond Republican.

From the Loui Public Jotrnals ~*~ | . News from Cuba—The details of the’ news from Cub& which we publish this morning are very_sad. They confirm the intelligence previously received that all of the men from this country who landed in Cuba have either been killed-or taken prisoners. The prisoners, it seems, are to be sent to Spain for ten years’ confinement inthe dungeons. Although these men are guilty of a violation of our laws, we hope our Government will interfere to procure, | if possible, a remission or a mitigation of | their punishment. The Government, it may be remembered, did this in the case of the United States eitizens who. in 1836, | ment should be adopted, might tend to defeat | He | knew that by many he was regerded as an un. | mitigated scoundrel, but he thought he had done | which had recently made its appearance in the | demned by portions of the Democratic | press, for the firm and energetic steps it) to be the laws of the United States, in the | “to get rid of domestic difficulties by breed- | But, supposing the Mercury’s convic. | took part in the Canada rebellion, and | | were made prisoners by the British. and | there is, for aught we can see, as much | reason for interference at this time as | there was then. | It is now evident that there was no re- bellion in Cuba. All the accounts of an alleged rebellion were sheer fabrications, got up by wretches in this country to in- duce United States citizens to go and set a rebellion on foot. Almost the entire Democratic press favored and encouraged the expeditions. The result is before the world. There is a fearful responsibility somewhere, but it is not upon our shoul- 'ders or the shoulders of the Whig press or the shoulders of the Whig Administration. If it were upon us, everys thing would | wear to our eyes the hue of blood. Not less than we admired the bold and man. ly manner in which the New York “ Evening Mirror,” in the very flame and heat of the Cu- ban excitement in that city, denounced the con- spirators and exposed the frauds and forgeries which were the fuel of that flame, do we now approve and applaud the genuine feeling of a good man, displayed in the following article, | from the same paper, in the general object of | which we entirely concur. | : FROM THE NEW YORK EVENING MIRROR. MERCY FOR THE POOR PRISONERS. | As we are among the first to denounce the } infamous attempt of the Filibusters to revolu- ‘tionize the Island of Cuba, and to rob the Queen of Spain of the richest pearl in her corronet, (says the Mirror.) so we shall not be behind our contemporaries in pleading for mercy to the | poor victims who have been betrayed by scoun. 'drels into the hands of the Spanish Govern. ment, and are already expiating their follies in prison, under sentence of banishinent in irons to the quicksilver mines of Spain—those terri- ble subterranean dungeons, from which few | who enter them ever return to the sunlight a- | live. . The communication of Capt. Platt, of the ship of war Albany, to the President of the U. States, fully corroborates all we have heard and published in regard to this reckless, lawless, crimnal expedition. Never were men more grossly deceived, or more cruelly betrayed. So disgusted were they on landing among a peo. ple who hated them and fought them as a set of * PrRATES” and * ROBBERS,” instead of wel. coming them as * patriots ” and * liberators,”’ that they threw away their arms in disgust, longing only to return in safety to their homes. When the American prisoners heard of the cap- ture of Lopez, a cry of joy and exultation burst from their lips. A single fact like this lets us into the whole secret of the expedition. Lopez the traitor, to whom life had become a burden from his repeated failures to place himself in a higher sphere than God and nature ever design. ed him to fill—backed up by a few restless demagogues and mercenary presses, succeed- ed in luring some five hundred thoughtless men into the Jawa of ignominious death ; orto a pun- ishment far more terrible—chains and slavery for ten years, and exiles irom home for life. It gives one the heartache tothink of it. And yet these victims have no claims upon our Govern. ment but the claims of humanity. ‘They be- came voluntary outlaws, in defiance of the pa- ternal warnings and judicial threatenings ot the The Spanish Govern. | ment has a perfect and absolute legal right to | dispose of these prisoners in any way it may /choose.

There is a seteof plodding tools, Who differ in their ways and rules; These Teachers of the old field schools, In swarming legions, Are acting both, like knaves and fools, Throughout these regions. These Pedagogues (Deil take the name!) Are generally well known by fame ; Oh citizens! It is a shame, To let such Ninnies, Play off a double handed game And steal your pennies! These boasters tell a thousand lies, And use all arts to blind your eyes ; Oh yes! They'll feign they’re very wise And skilled in Grammars: Poor ignorant shamblers they despise, Who have no manners. Oh send your children to them! do; The loss of time you'll never rue ; They'll tell you they can teach them too The Greek and Latin! And Algebra (This branch, ’tis true, Would Satan.) Geography theySnderstand: Arithmetic—surveying land, With Spelling, Reading, Writing, and The cause of motion! Also, how many grains of sand Lie in the ocean. Thus they about their talents crow ; In arts like these, they are not slow, As J. L. G. oft says “ you know” They’re great deceivers! I'll wager too their lives will show They’re unbclievers, How very wise the ramblers look | And while their folly wise men brook, They dodge along by hook or crook, And nods of head sir, While ignorant of the spelling Book Of Noah Webster!

GOING TO THE DOGS. - BY T. 8. ARTHUR. “I received your bill to day, Mr. Leo- nard,” said a customer, ashe entered the sbop of a master mechanic, *We are sending out our accounts at this season,’ returned the mechanic, bow- ing. *] want to pay you.’ ‘Very well, Mr. Baker, we're always glad to get money.’ *But you must throw off something.— Let me see,”—and the customer drew out the bill— twenty-seven dollars and forty- six cents. Twenty-five willdo. There, receipt the bill and {ll pa: you.’ But Leonard shook bis bead. ‘Il can’t deduct a cent from that bill, Mr. Baker. Every article is charged at our regular price.’ *Oh yes, you can. five dollars.even money. Baker counted out the cash. ‘I’m sorry, Mr. Baker, but | cannot af. ford to deduct anything. Jf you'd only owed me twenty tive dollars, your bill would have been just that amount. | would not have added a cent beyond what was due, nor can J take anything less than my own.’ x Then you won't deduct the odd money?’ *] cannot, indeed.’ * Very weil.” The manner of the cus- tomer changed. He was evidently offend ed. ‘ The bill is too high by just the sum ] asked to have stricken off. But no mat- ter, | can pay it.’ ‘Then you mean to insinuate,’ said the mechanic, Who was an independent sort of man,‘*that | am cheating you out of two dollars and forty six cents 7’ *] didn’t say so.’ * But it is plain that you think so. or you wouldn’t have asked an abatement. It you considered my charges just you wouldn’t dispute them.’ *Oh, never mind, never mind! we'll not waste words about it. Here’s your money, said Mr. Baker; and be added another five dollar bill to the sam he had laid down. The mechanic receipted the account and gave the change, both of which his customer thrust into his pocket with a petulant air, and then turned and left the shop without another word. ‘It’s the last bill he ever has against me, muttered Baker to himself, as he walked away. ‘It that’s his maoner of trealing customers, he’ll soon go to the dogs. He was downright insulting, and no gentleman will stand that from anoth- er, much less from a vulgar mechanic.— Mean to insinuate! Humph! Yes, I did mean to insinuate.—And Mr. Baker in- voluntarily quickened his pace. He’ll soon go to the dogs. I’ve paid hima great deal of money, but it is the last dollar of mine he ever handles.’ Baker was as good as his word. He withdrew his custom from the offending mechanic, and gave it to another. ‘I’ve got one of your old customers, Leonard,’ said a friend in the same busi- ness to the mechanic, soine six or eight months afterwards. ‘Ah! who is it” ‘ Baker.’ Leonard shrugged his shoulders. * How came you to lose him?’ ‘Til tell you how you can keep bim.’* ‘Well how? ‘If your bill amounts to thirty dollars, make it thirty three and a few cents, by in- creasing some ot itsitems. He will want the surplus knocked off, which you can afford to do; then he will pay it and think you just the man for him.’ “You lost him, then, because you wouldn’t abate any thing froma true bill.” ‘I did.’ ‘Thank you. But suppose my_ bill should be twenty six or seven, or eight; what then? [| couldn't knock off the odd dollars for the purpose of making it even.’ ‘No. In that case you must add until you get about thirty.’ ‘And fall back to that 1’ ‘Yes. [t will be knocking off the odd dollars which he will think clear gain.’ ‘That would hardly be honest.’ ‘Hardly. But you must do it, or lose his custom some day or other.’ ‘I shall have to accommodate him, | suppose. It he will be cheated, it can’t be helped.’ On the very first bill that Baker paid to his new tradesman he obtained an abate ment of one dollar and ninety cents odd money, but actually paid three dollars more than was justly due. Still he was very well satisfied, imagining that he had made a saving of one dollar and ninety cents. The not over-scrupulous trades- man laughed in his sleeve and kept his customen Having withdrawn his support from Leonard, it was his candid opinion of Mr. Baker that he was * going to the dogs’ as he expressed it, about as fast as a man could go. He olten passed the shop, but rarely saw a customer. Just make it twenty * No wonder, he would say to himself. | ‘A man like him can’t expect and dosn’t deserve custom.’ In the eyes of Buker, the very grass seemed to grow upon the pavements be- fore the door of the declining tradesman. Dust settled thickly ip his window, and the old sign grayer and grayer in the bleeching air. ‘Going to the dogs, and no wonder,’ Baker would say to himself, as he went by. He appeared to take a strange in- terest in watching the gradual decay of the mechanic’s fortunes, Que day a mer- cantile friend said to bim— ‘Do you know anything about this Leonard 2’ * Why ?’ asked Baker. ‘Because he wants to make a pretty large bill with me.’ *On time ?’ ; * Yes, on the usual credit of six months.’ * Don’t sell him. ing to the dogs at railroad speed.’ * Indeed 7” * Yes, I’m looking every day to see him close up.

It happened that Mr. Leonard had a very pretty and interesting daughter. on whose education the mechanic had_ be stowed great pains; and it also happened that Baker had a son who, in most things, was a‘cbip of the old block.’ Particu larly was he like his father in his great love of money, and scarcely had he reach ed his majority, ere he began to look a bout him with a careful eye, to a good Matrimonial arrangement, by which plen- ty of money would be secured. Adelaide Leonard, on account of her beauty and accomplishments, was much caressed, and mingled free in society,— Young Baker had met her frequently, and could not help being struck with her beau- ty, intelligence and grace. ‘There is a charm for you, said a friend to him one evening. ‘In Miss Leonard ? ‘Yes.’ ‘She’s a charming girl, replied the young man. ‘I wonder if her father is worth anything ?” * People say so.’ *‘ Indeed.’ ‘Yes. They say the old fellow has laid up something quite handsome ; and as Adelaide is his only child, she will of course get it all.” ‘] was not aware of that.’ ‘It is all so I believe.’ , ‘After this, young Baker was exceed. ingly attentive to Miss Leonard, and made perceptible inroads upon her heart. He even went so far as to visit pretty regu larly at her house. and was meditating an avowal of his attachment, when his fa ther said to him one day— ‘What young lady was that I saw you with in the street yesterday afternoon?’ ‘Her name is Leonard.’ ‘The daughter of old Leonard in street 7’ YES, Sif. Mr. Baker looked grave and shook his head. ‘Do you know anything about her.’ asked the son. ‘Nothing about her; bat I know thar her father is going to the dogs as fast as ever a man went.’ ‘Indeed! I thought he was well off.’ ‘Oh, no, I’ve been looking to see his shop shut up, or to bear of his being sold out by the sheriff, every day. for these two years past.” ‘ Miss Leonard is a very lovely girl.’ ‘She’s the daughter of a poor vulgar mechanic. If you see anything so very lovely in that, Henry you have a strange i taste." ‘There is no gainsaying Adelaide’s per sonal attractions, replied tbe son. * but if her father is poor, that settles the matter as far as she and I are concerned. I am glad you introduced the subject, tor | might have committed myself, and, when too late, discovered my error.” ‘And a sad error it would have been, Henry. In any future matter of this kind, I hope you will be perfectly frank with me. | have a much more accurate know ledge of the condition and standing of people than you can possibly have.’ The son promised to do as his father wished. From that time the visits to Miss Leonard were abated, and his at- tentions to her, when they met in society, became coldly formal. The sweet young girl, whose feellings had really been in- terested, felt the change, and was for a time unhappy; but in a few months she recovered herself, and again as bright and cheerful as usual. Time went steadily on, sweeping down one and setting up another, and still old Leonard didn’t go to the dogs. much to the surprise of Baker, who could not imagine how the mechanic kept his head ahove water after having driven away his hest customers, as he must long since have done, if all were treated as he had been. But be was satisfied of one thing. at least and that was that the mechanic must be _miserably poor, as he, in fact, deserved to be, according to his idea of the matter, One day. about a year after his timely caution to his son in regard to Miss Leon- _ard, Baker happened to pass along a street where he had not heen for some months. Just opposite a large, new, and _beantitul house, to which the painters | were giving their last touches. he met a friend. As they passed, Baker said— | ‘That’s an elegant house [t has been built since I was in this neighborhood,’ | * Yes, itisa very fine house, and I suppose didn’t cost less than fifteen thousand dol- ‘lars.’ ‘No J should think not. Do you know? | *Yes. It was built by Leonard.’ | ‘By whom!” Baker looked surprised. | Who built ir? ‘By old Leonard. You know him.’ | *Impossible ! He’s not able to build a , house like that.’ . | *Oh, yes he is, and half a dozen more, _if necessary.’ * Leonard !’ ‘Certainly. Why, be’s worth at least | seventy thousand dollars. | *You must be in error.’ ‘No. His daughter is to be married next month to an excellent young man, and this house has been built and is to be handsomely furnished as a marriage pre- i sent.’ sjness..

Salisbury, April 10, 1851. 1y49 EAGLE MILLS! T HERE is a fair prospect of a Company of North- ern Mechanics and Manufacturers settling on the Eagle or South Eagle Tract. The South eagle Tract is adjoining the Eagle,on both of which is a splendid water power of great force. I havea beautiful piece of Land in the South Eagle Tract which I propose to lay off in small lots of one fourth of an acre each, for the ac- commodation of Merchants, Doctors, and Mechanics. All such persons would do well to give this rising place due attention. “ There is a tide in the affairs of men Which, taken at its flood, Leads on to” happiness and wealth. Here is a chance. Capitalists would also do well to look this way. I need a little help to carry on more suc- cessfully, the enterprises in which I am engaged and on T am steadily progressing, however, though slow'y, with my original schemes, to wit: the erection of Factories for spinning cotton and wool, and for calico printing. But as | advance the prospect opens up, and invites to larger and more fruitful fields. This location for manufacturing purposes and for a Town, is very favorable. It is near enough to the great Central Rail Road, and in a very healthy region of Country. Twill sell lots privately on the most favorable terms to suit purchasers. The water power on the South Eagle Tract, is immense, and capable of drivin almost any amount of Machinery. Early applicniibes either for lots or an interest in the psesent or Proposed enterprises will receive the most favorable offers. ean! 3m4 ANDREW RAGGARLY Iredell Couniy, N. C., May 14, 1851 = ee DR.

He was shot in the left breast, the ball entering a short distance a- bove the heart, whilst the surrounding parts were completely riddled with shot, with which the gun bad also been heavily loaded. The | negroes who were active in the affray are said to have all left the vicinity, making their way towards Philadelphia. As faras we can learn, no arrests had been made in the vicinity where the affray took place. Flt may not be amiss to say that our ac- count, published above, is fully corroborated b the statements contained in the Philadelphia _and Baltimore county papers.— American. Instead of any attempt to express our own on ee York road, and was attended by a large | ly enforcing their authority, were accom- panied by a company of U. S. Marines, from the Philadelphia Navy Yard, and a detail of fifty of Marshal Keyser’s police. It was the intention of Marshal Rob. erts to scour the neighborhood and bring lo justice all the guilty ones. We are informed by several gentlemen who came passengres in the one o'clock train from the West this afternoon that the greatest excitement prevailed through- out Lancaster county. The negroes were fleeing in every direction. The State and local authorities who have taken the lead in the matter, have acted in the promptest manner. The United States authoritiesbave also exhibited the most praiseworthy prompt- es in mainiaining the law, and ferret- in’ out those who have so boldly resisted Its execution. The officers of the Marshal’s police who went up were, under an opinion of Mr. Reed, deputized to act as U.S. Depu- ty Marshals.

His de- position had been taken in relation to the circumstances connected with the mur- der of his father. Mr. Roberts, the U.S. Marsha! from Philadelphia, the U.S. Dis. trict Attorney. Mr. Ashmead, and a U.S. Commissioner from Washington arrived at the scene ofthe outrage on Saturday, accompanied by a detachment of eighty U.S. Marines and fifty of the Philadel- phia Police, and the most aetive means were at.onoce adopted for the purpose of seturing all supposed to have been con- cerned inthe outrage. A large nnmber of persons from the surrounding country and from Baltimore county were at the place, and were earnestly seconding the authorities in their endeavors to arrest the guilty parties. Up tu yesterday morning the number of arrests made was thirty only ; two of the parties, those named above, being whites. Bail to a large amonut had heen offered for them, but refused. Among the negroes under arrest is the woman who blew the horn as the signal for the gath- ering of the blacks. Pinckney, the slave who shot Mr. Gorsuch, has so far not been arrested. The statement that the bady of Mr. Gorsuch wasrobbed after the murder proves to be eorrect, and adds another revolting feature to the affair. He had _over $400 in his possession before the af- fray, but afterwards the only money found 'on his person was a $1 note and a_ blank check. From the Newburyport (Mass.) Herald; THE EXECUTION OF LOPEZ, We have now full accounts of the bloody scene which has been enacted in Cuba, and which has been long expected by those who have watched most closely the progress of e. vents in that quarter. There is. it is evident, no serious disaffection in Cuba beyond the families ur cuure uf the wealthy Creoles, in | which the young men, ambitious and educaied, chafe at being under the despotic rule of Span. | ish military officers. ‘he great mass of the whites, particularly the poorer classes, upon whom any great reliance could be had for the | revolutionary movements, are clearly in the | Spanish interest, and, besides, entertain from some cause animosity against the Americans. Lopez was undoubtedly a brave man, but he throng of people outside of the equare, and seem. ed to take a good lovk on the soldiers and the immense throng of people outside.of the square, and then turned round aud kaelt in prayer for about one minute. He then rose and turned towards the front, and in a clear, manly voice, and. in tones loud e bh to be heard by the thousands present, (for it was as still.as night.) spoke as follows: Countrymen; [ most sel. emuly, in this last awful moment of my life, ask your pardon for any injury I have caused you. ft was not my wish to injure any one, my object was your freedom and happiness.” Here hé*was interrupted by the commanding officer in front, (on horse back.) He conelud. _ed by saying, * my intention was good, and my hope is in God.” He then bowed and turned round and took his seat, apparently with as much coolness as if he had taken a chair in a room with friends. ‘He placed his head back, between the iron grasps; the negro hangman then adjusted the iron throat clasp, and tied his feet to bolts on each side of the seat. During this preparation Lopez was in conversation with his friend.— The tall negro hangman, who is kept as public | executioner, then took his place at the iron be. j hind. Lopez kissed the cross handed to him | by his friend ; the negro then gave one turn of | } | | } } { the wrench, and Lopez died instantly without | the least struggle, gg This was precisely as the clock struck seven. The military at once re- turned to the city, the band playing a quick step; the thousands dispersed with little or no noise ; some of the rabble tried to get up a row, but it would net go. ‘There was a solem. nity inthe whole scene which struck into the hearts of the mob which but a few days previous were in wild ecstacy of joy at @ brutal execu. lion of fifty human beings, on whose corpses they could glut a savage revenge, by commit. ting the most inhuman of indignities. “An Eye Witness To THE ABOVE SCENE.” | | | | | } ADVICE TO FARMERS. | To the Editors of the National Intelligencer. GENTLEMEN: The unequalled circulation of | the Intelligencer renders it peculiarly desirable | for a few hints therein if you will spare the room, to farmers and other gentlemen located at in- convenient distance from ai] mechanical] aid by which to meet the ravages of time incident to every homestead. Unsighitly dilapidations and casual breakages are ofien endured by the most exemplary proprietors solely from the difficulty and remoteness of all present remedy. I there- fore respectfully offer the only recipe fur this complaint, and quite different, too, from most other prescriptions, being as pleasant in ils ap. plication as it is grattifying in its effects..The marvel is that it is not more general, as the few who rejoice in it as a regimen have never been known to abandon it. It is this: for ev. | ery householder thus isolated fo have a “ set of tools,” and habituate himself to their use; and let no man demur at this suggestion as of diffi. cult attainment; he will not find it so, while its advantages (independent of pecuniary ones) are more numerous than room would be expected here to @numerate.

It is expected that a flower and leaf will be exhibited at the hall of the Socie- ty, Chinese Saloon, at the stated meeting to-morrow evening. This will be the first and only plant that has bloomed in this country. The leaves of this specimen, now growing at Springbrook Farm, the seat of the President, are seven in num- ber, the largest of which is six anda half feet in diameter, (taller, if placed on edge, than any man in the city of Philadelphia.) of circular form and great beauty; they cover entirely the surface of the water in a tank twenty-four feet in diameter. The flower at this hour is not fully expanded, but from the rapidity of its developments it is thought it will be on that occasion. It will then be of the gigantic proportions deseribed above, in form resembling the nymphea adorata, or water lily of this country, and is alike fragrant; in color it is white, delicately tinted to a rosy pink- ish hue. The size attained by flowers at Chatsworth, the grounds of the Duke of Devonshire, and at the Royal Gardens at Kew, England, were fourteen inches in diameter, and have been the wonder and admiration of all who have had the grat- ification of seeing a living plant. The seed from. which this plant was grown were obtained from Sir William J. Hook- er, the Director of the Royal Gardens at Kew, on the 21st day of March last, thus showing the immense rapidity of its growth.— Evening Bulletin. MATRIMONIAL.

(Joseph Scarlet and Samuel Kendig) and twenty-one colored, including four or five women, were made prisoners, and, upon an investigation of their conduct before Commissioner Ingraham, very strong tes- timony was given against the white scoan- drel, Scarlett, and against his black con- federate, William Brown—so strong as to lead to their full committal “to answer the eharge of treason against the United States in levying war against the same; in resisting b@ force the execution of the Fugitive Sla Law, and also for obstruct- ing the Marshal in the execution of the process of the United States.” The evi- dence of Kline (white) and of George W. H. Scott (colored) we give at the foot of this article, as being the most important and conclusive evidence against Scarlett and Brown. These two worthies seem to a fair way to meet the just reward of their villainy, and we shall be pleased beyond expression to see them made examples of. Hanging is almost too good for such wretches. It gives us much satisfaction to observe the promptness and activity with which the authorities, both Federal and State, are proceeding in this affair. We hail sach a course as a most favorable indica- tio# of the final triumph of the laws of the-Jand; and if nothing of a contrary character shall occur during the progress of the trials, the issue will be such as to give additional confidence to the Repub- lic. We cannot, however, but reprobate the mean, mjserable verdict of those Abo- litign apologists who formed the Jury of Inquest over the dead body of Gorsuch.— Instead of boldly stating the truth accord- ing. to the evidence before them, which could bave left not a doubt upon their minds as to the nature of the crime which bad been committed, they cunningly and hypocritically express themselves as if the deceased and his party had made an un- provoked attack upon the blacks, whom the aforesaid honest jury took care to con- demn not at all. Thisisthe only circum- stance in the whole investigation which we regard with feelings of disappointment and we do not hesitate to say that a ver- dict couched in the terms which charac. terize the one we are noticing is, under the circumstances which surround it, dis. reputable in every sense. It is a deliber- ate effort on the part of twelve “ good and lawful men of the county” of Lancaster, Pa.; to-suppress, as much as they possibly could, the trath as it -wastestified to be- fore them, and to say just as little as de- ceney will permit about the guilt of the parties implieated inthe crime. We can- not say a sylable in commendation of men who woold thus seek to strip so revolting a murder of any of: its aggravating fea- tures. We cannot reconcile their con- duct to our conceptions of duty and pro- priety on such an occasion. Atthe same time, we will further remark, that the spirit which breathes in the verdict is not like the nobler spirit which prevails in all the other proceedings in this unfortunate matter. We are gratified at the contrast between the inquest and the officers on the side of the law, and have every rea- son to believe that the latter reflect the sentiments and spirit of a vast majority of the people of Pennsylvania. With regard to the correspondence be- tween certain citizens of Philadelphia and Governor Jobnston, we have not time to day to indulge in any special remarks. The Governor is no favorite of ours, although he be a Whig. We claim no fraternity with an Abolitionist any more than we would claim kindred with Satan. But Goveror Johnston bas done rather better on the occasion than we expected. He seems to be sufficiently alive to the enor- mity of the crime which has been com mitted in the State over whose affairs he presides, and, from the tone of his procla- mation, which is not as stringent as it | might have been, seems to he disposed to | Two white men | that had a prong; I then went oat, when ‘they. fired upon the old gentleman and | myself; 1 then fired, when an axe was | thrown; I told them what the consequence | would be in resisting the law ; Parker re- plied that he was a Pennsylvanian, and i did not care for the law ; he then asked fifteen minutes; if he would let me go up stairs and see if the men were there, ] would take them; the warrants were then read ; he said there were two men there but refused their names; | was told to go ahead and take them; advised coolness, and | gave Parker five minutes more to consider; they then co and asked me to send for a neighbor ; this was objected to by the old gentleman and for time to reflect, and I] gave him ten or | lted up stairsy | into an excitément by the above deceased, and some five or siz persons in company with bim, making an attack epon a‘family of colored per. about 4 o’clock in the morning, for the purpose of arresting some fugitive slaves as they alleg ed.’ Many of the colored people of the neigh. | borhood collected, and there was consic ‘rable : firing of guns and other fire-arms by bott. var. | ties; upon the arrival of some of the neighbors at the place after the riot had subsided, tound the abuve deceascd lying upon his back, or right side, dead.

Soine arrests of the head rioters bave been made. The people of the city are glad to get rid of them.” We presume that the excitement has somewhat abated, as there is no allusion to it in despatches dated on the 7th. The latest report on the subject is contained in a despatch of the evening of the 6th inst. It says: * No further disturbances have yet ta. ken place amongst the distressed Libera tors: but all the bar-rooms in the second municipality have been closed. Three hundred men have returned to Alabama, but many yet remain bere for want of the means to get home.” In connexion with the subject’ of the late unfortunate Expedition, we perceive that some of the “deceivers and betrayers” of the victims intend harping upon a re port (no doubt manutactured in this coun. try) that the Captain General had caused his officers to write letters to Lopez to in duce him to come; in other words. that the invasion was concocted and got up by the Captain General ! !

Fhe following description, by an eye witness of the terrible steamboat accident opposite Cincinnati, in 1838, is from Ar- thur’s Home Gazette : “* Captain of the M——, sir?’ * Yes.’ ‘Up for Cairo and New Orleans, I see.’ * Justo.’ * When do you leave?’ . ‘ Please book my name for Uatro. tel Be aboard before three, or you'll be t.' ‘I will, said I, though I knew it would be a wonderful thing if a boat should leave at its advertised time. The M was a new, elegant and fast boat ; she had yet never made a trip, | bat her commander intended o to show her off to the best advantage. Before three o'clock I went on board, she was thronged with passengers, many of them the elite of the city, all jn good appar anticipating a delightful voyage Mr thrs palace of the waters. At fulton, a small village about two miles up the river were a large number of emigrants, German, | believe, consist- ing of men, women and children who were . tobe taken aboard the M at that e. ‘Cast off there,’ shouted on the hurricane deck, ‘ Aye, aye, sir,’ * Draw in the plank.’ Right gallantly did she walk the water; her sharp cutting prow dividing the stream so smoothly as scarcely to causea sparkle or foam on her breast; but a highway of milkwhite foam issued be- neath her rusbing keel, marking her course destined landing, while the roaring steam pipes hardly drowned the deafen- ing shouts of the excited and admiring spectators. An hour was spent the emigrants and thei Many an eye then brightened with hope as it rested on the noble craft, which. they thougbr, would so soon bring them to the promised land. Nota tearot re shéd on leaving a strange shore, athising friends stood to w n this day the Captain, in taking aboard r heavy luggage. where no ave them an adieu.

AndO, what thoughts | | must have fired the brains of more thana | | hundred human beings, blinded by steam, still crowded in the crazy hull, as the rushing waters through her shattered sides reached higher and higher, till their garg- ling throats were silenced in the deep. She sank to the depth of her cabin floor. Boats, planks and every other available means were put in requisition to reach the wreck and save the life that yet might be. Few were saved, some who were thrown into the river by concussion, but none of the multitude who crowded the steerage ever looked upon the scene of disaster again. All that forenoon and for several succeeding days, men fished for the dead through holes cut in the cabin floor.— | Hardly a soul of that unfortunate band of emigrants was left to mourn the sad catastrophe, or weep over the mangled dead. A little boy belonging to them stood wet and trembling on the river’s brink, from which he had just been res- cued. I spoke to him kindly, but he only answered with a wild and vacant stare, and pointing to the wreck apon which he was gazing, gave an unearthly shriek, threw his arms aloft, and sprang into the boiling flood beyond the reach of human help, The ill-fated commander was found, shockingly disfigured, a few days after, on the Kentucky shore. Engineers, fire- men, pilot and clerk, ended their life’s voyage here. More than one hundred and seventy- five haman beings thus sacrificed on the altar of Prive. Unhappy man! thou didst keep thine oath but too faithfully. The force of the explosion was terrible ; the six boilers of the boat were burst into fragments, and | cast.a great distance, wounding severely | some of the spectators on the landing, and in the street above.

At one time, by delaying my turning too long, my sanguinary antagonists came so near that they threw the white foam over my dress as they sprang toseize me, and their teeth clashed together like the spring of a fox trap. in a fishure in the ice, the story lam now telling would never have been told. ] thought all the chances over ; | knew when they would take hold of me it Tfell; I thought how long it would be before | died ; and then there would be a search for the body that would already have its tomb; For oh! how fast man’s mind tra- ces out all the dread colors of death’s pice tare, only those who have been so near the grim original can tell. But I soon came opposite the house, and my hounds—I knew their deep voices— | roused by the noise, bayed furiously from ithe kennels. I heard their chains rattle ; how] wished they would break them! and then I would have protectors that would be peer to the fiercest denizens ot the forest. The wolves, taking the hint conveyed by the dogs, stopped’ in their mad career, and after a moment’s consid- eration, turned and fled. I watched them until their dusky forms disappeared over a neighboring hill. Then taking off my feelings which may be better imagined than described.

TED STATES. The tone of the following article from the leading journal of London indicates some change of opinion in that paper touching the capacity and capabilities of the people of this country. From the London Times of September 2. “ Taking all things together, British and Americans have run a pretty fair tie through the trials of this wonderful sea— son. ‘The spring. it must be confessed, opened ill for Brother Jonathan, and for a good while in the race we kept well | ahead. We had our great Exhibition— areal new ‘smart’ speculation—which did not turn out a failure, which exceed— ed every body’s hopes, and which brought about no revolutions at all. As it turned out, even the extra policemen might have been dispensed with, a.d fifty thousand visiters of all classes have congregated -and- dispersed daily without as mach - disturbance as attends’ a common coun— try fair. Moreover, the dollars have really come tumbling in amain. it without any malice. or any wish to cre— ate annoyance, but the fact is that even the hyperholical conjectures of American irony have fallen short of the trath in this particular. realize $2,000,000, whereas we have got over $2,100,000 at this very moment, with six weeks before us still. And all this is in hand,etoo, and in solid coin; so that we fairly walk away from our rivals.— The true triumph of American genius | would be to transfer these winnings by Columbia. Mr. Barnum, we observe, 1s actually among us, and his presence, like that of Napoleon in the field, is always ominous of business. Still, although the Royal Commissioners seem sorely embar— rassed with their specie, and although their friendly advisers among the public aresalmost as much at fault, we have yet heard of any disposition herein towards Mississippi bonds. On the other hand, deni-l that every practical success of the season belongs to the Americans. Their reaping machine has carried conviction tothe heart of the British agricalturist. Their revolvers threaten to revolutionize military tactics as completely as the ort- ginal discovery of gunpowder. iete yacht takes a class to itself. Of all the victories ever won none has heen So trans- cendant as that-of the New York schoon- We say | It was calculated we should | Herschel, who, it is beyond all, er. The account given of ber perform— ances suggests the inapproachable excel— lence attributed to Jupiter by the ancient poets, who describe the King of the Gods as being not only supreme, bot having none other next to him. * What’s first?’ ‘The America.’ * What's second 1?’ + No. thing.’ Collin’s line of steamers, bas ‘made the fastest passage yet known across the At— lantic ; and, according to the American journals, has been purchased by British agents ‘ for tke purpose of towing the Cu- nard vessels from one shore of the ocean to the other.’ Finally. as if to crown the triumphs of the year, Americans have ac— tually sailed through the Isthmus connec— ting the two continents of the New World; and, while Englishmen have been doubt— ing and grudging, Yankees have stepped in and won the day. “So we think, on the whole, we may afford to shake hands and exchange con— gratulations, after which we must learn as much from each other as we can. As for yachts, we have no doubt that by next August every vessel of the Cowes squad- | ron will be trimmed to the very image of the America; there is no doubt that our farmers will reap by machinery ; and the revolver, we fear, is too attractive an embodiment of personal power to be over- looked by European mischief makers. In fact, while acknowledging the virtues of this ingenious instrument, we must ex- press our suspicions that its principal ef. fect has been hitherto to promote murder. Of twenty assassinations in California, or the Western States, fifteen at least will be found, on examination, to. have been perpetrated with revolvers. The inven- tion supplies both temptation to the of. fence and certainty in its execution; for it must be bad shooting, indeed, if one shot does not tell out of five. If it was once thought advisable tostigmatize ‘life preservers’ as weapons imparting no hon- est purpose, we hardly see how repeating pistols are to escape a similar reproach. They were, no doubt, found serviceable in ‘frontier action,’ but the invention cuts two ways, and we very much question whether Mr. Colt’s discovery has not cost the Americans more lives than the Mex icans.” From the New York Express. Then and Now ; or, The Contrast.—Circum stances have induced the American press of late to dwell on ihe tone of that of Great Brit. ain towards this country more particularly than has been our want. The invidious compari sons that were made by the London Times and other journals of the English metropolis be- tween the American and other contributions to the Great Industrial] Exhibition in Hyde Park, followed up by the successes achieved by our countrymen. when the contest for superiority became practical, as in the case of the Virgin. ia reaping machine, the New York plough, and the Yankee locksmith, and. by the triumph of an American clipper over the best sailing craft England could produce, are the circumstances we mean. We fear the subject is well nigh exhausted, though we still hardly take up a a newspaper without being stunned with a pret. ty loud Yankee crow {rom some quarter or oth. er. We see, in a very amusing letter from Lon don in the Journal of Commerce, that the Vir- ginia tobacco has been unhesitatingly pro. nounced to be unrivalled in the Great Exhibi- tion, and that two “of the very accomplished | English jurors on substances used for foud are | tobacco chewers; while their American co- | jurors never tasted a quid, though to the manor born.

A canister of it was sent to Sir John lifying to its excellence.

Without this crowning capital to its power, the onward march of the United States to what we believe will be overwhelming greatness might not be so speedily accomplished; but’ America, as mistress of the ocean, mus! overstride the civ. ilized world.” : * Forty years ago,” says a contemporary, “ Eorope sat in astdnishment and terror under the shadow of Napoleon’s gigantic empire.— At that time, in a debate in the British Par. liament, something was said of the American navy, when a member remarked that ‘the A- merican navy consisted of siz vessels ;’ where- upon,” says the newspaper account, “ the House burst into a fit of laughter.” It would be in- teresting to know how many of those laughing ligislators are now living. The gigantic em. pire of Napoleon has crumbled to dust, and the despised nation of six vessels has now with. in her grasp the empire of the seas and the do- minion of the civilized world. THE LARGEST VESSEL AFLOAT. The Cincinnati Enquirer of Monday last contains the following description of a marine monster about tw be constructed in that city: “ Dr. Sparoine, the Circus King, has been in town several days, closeted with architects and shipbuilders, projecting an enterprise compared with which all other show projects are literally nothing. He has the drawing and working plans for a monster floating palace, for the construc- tion of which he is getting estimates, 400 feet long and 60 feet beam, with luxurious accomodations for 4,000 spectaiors. The interior is to be an amphi theatre, much more capacious and costly than any thea- tre in the country; with cushioned and armed chair, dress circle, parquet and gal- lery, saloons, promenades, and with draw- ing rooms, stage, drops, and scenery, well ventilated and lighted, with facilities for speedy ingress, lighted with gas and Ben- gal lights, and every modern and elegant improvement. The exterior of this Levi- athan of the deep is to be like nothing in “the earth beneath, or the waters under the earth.” An agent proceeded to Europe in the last steamer to procure rare novelties lor this sumptuous place of entertainment —from Asia ard Africa, wild animals from their native wilds; from France equestrians and ballet girls; from En- | gland, acrobats and actors; and from home some of those indigenous artistes that would acquire no additional lustre trom transatjantic endorsement. The Wa- ter Mountain is to be towed by two steam tenders to the various towns upon the Mississippi and its tributaries in summer, and he moored at the levee in New Or- Jeans in the winter. It is estimated to cost $40.000. and will be completed next spring, although Dr. S. has offered a large bonus to have it completed in time for this winter's campaign.” The National Intelligincer gives a sy- | nopsis of the lying bulletins and false tel- |egraphic despatches that were issued in New York and New Orleans during the _late excitement about Cuba. There ne- | ver was before, within our recollection, /so mendacious a conspiracy. Men must | have been paid. in both cities, to manu- | facture stories utterly destitute of founda- ation, for the purpose of wilfully mislead- _ing the public. and deluding the unwary into the trap, which was artfully set, and | finally caught and enclosed many victims. 'No punishment can be too severe for the | fabricators of “ Cuban Intelligence,” upon whose souls rests the responsibility of sa- crificing the lives of our citizens, and sending others to chains and imprison- ment. They are criminals of the deepest dye.—Alex. Guzette. FROM THE BALTIMORE CLIPPER. Cusan Bonps.—We are not disposed to cred- | it statements which were made in the public | prints that bonds or scrip had been issued and ) sold by speculators, redeemable in lands of Cu- ha, or to remain asa lien upon that island when | conquered from the Spanish authorities ; for we | put faith in the assertion that the Creoles had | struck for liberty, and supposed that money bad been furnished by them and by the exiles in the United Statesto arm and equip volunteers to aid in the achievement of Liberty for Cuba.— | It seems that we were in error in both respects: First, in believing that the people of Cuba de. sired to change their system of government; and, secondly, that they had contributed money to that object. From what we now know it appears that the greatest impositions have been practised ; that parties in this country set on foot the expedition against Cuba unknown to and against the wishes of the people of the is- land; and that millions of Cuban scrip were issued by these speculators; in fact, that it was not a contest for liberty in which they en- gaged, but a regular stock Jobbing operation, ‘Those who engaged to do the fighting, many of whom lost their lives, whilst others are sep- _tenced to a long imprisonment, were the dupes of interested managers ; and it is probable that even Lopez himself was a victim to their arts. Now. there should be an exposition of this whole affair, that those engaged in it may be known to the country. That money has been raised by the sale of Cuban bonds is acknowl- edged in ageport made by the Cuban Commit. tee of Néw Orleans; and we should like to | Snow upon what security these bonds were is- sued, and’how and where they are to be re. deemed? ‘The National Entelligencer asks that the form of one of these bonds be published, and we hope that it will be dane, together with such other developments as may gite the public a clear insight into the whole proceed. ing. The intelligence by the steamer Niagara to Liverpvol, 30th instaat, which we published yesterday, meutioned the fact of the superiori- | ty of the United Staes yacht America in a regular contest of speed with the British yacht Titania. A further despatch says : This exciting contest, in which all the yacht. ing world has evinced such deep interest, came off on Thursday, off the Isle of Wight. The America was undocked at the Portsmouth duck - yard at half pas 9 on Wednesday night. and went out of that harbor at half-past five next morning, and at 10 A. M. she started for Cowes and ranto the Nah, which she left at eleven, ia competition with the Titania, iron schooner, one hundred tons, the property of Mr. R. Ste- venson, M. P., fora race forty miles out and forty miles in. ‘Phey steering 8. E., with a strong wind from W. N. W. At the close of the race she distanced her competitor by up- wards ef five miles. ‘This victory” appears to have thoroughly established the superierity of the America over the English yachts. THE HUNGARIANS AND MR. COR. CORAN. We had yesterday the pleasure of a visit from the gentlemen composing the committee of those brave and gallant peo ple who have had the good fortune to reach our shores, and are now in New York to the number of 128. Under the direction of Kossuth, they are making their way to the settlement of Gen Ujha zy, inlowa; but their funds were exhaus. ted when they reached New York. Un. der these circumstances the committee for their relief have visited Washington, and we understand that our distinguished ban ger (Mr. Corcoran) was no sooner made acquainted with their wants than he gen- erously supplied them outof his own funds. Such liberality and magnanimity are creditable to our individual as well as national character, and entitle Mr Corco ran to the thanks of the country.— Union of Saturday. A DISCOVERY IN SURGERY. A Prussian named Aran is said to have re- cently made a discovery in surgery that is ex citing considerable interest in the scientific cir cles of Berlin. It is the application of chlorine to relieve pain. Unlike chloroform it can be used without the least danger to the patient. and is very effectual in its operation. From the account, a small quantity of the fluid, (from ten to twenty drops) is dropped on the part ef fected, or on a lint bandage slightly moistened with water, and then applied, and all bound up in of] silk, and a linen band. Afier from two to ten minutes the part becomes insensible, and the pain is no longer felt, whether it be from rheumatic, nervous, or other disorders. After a time it returns again. but usually weaker, and with several applications it is often entirely re- lieved. The discoverer has presented a me. morial on the subject tothe Academy at Paris. Ancient and Modern Strong Men.—A paper was read before the British Association, enti. tled ** A Comparison of Athletic Men of Great Britain with Greek Statues,” by Mr. J. B. Brent. Mr. Brent in order to obtain those of the athletic, measured and weighed celebrated boxers, cricketers, wrestlers, rowers, pedestri- ans andothers. ‘These he compared to the height and weights of soldiers and policemen, and then with celebrated Greek statues. And from such a comparison it appears that the wrestlers of Cornwal}, Devon, and the north of England are not inferior to those statues. Taking him up at his Word.—We learn from a distinguished Missisippian, says the Louisville Journal, that the Hon, Jefferson Da vis, United States Senator from that State, has constantly announced in the public speeches he has made, that, if the people of Mississippi should, in the elections of the present season, go against the “State Rights party,” as it calls itself, and sustain Gen. Foote, he would resign his seat in the Senate. Weli, the election of delegates to the State Convention has gone o. verwhelmingly against Davis and his friends, and it is now certain that the Gubernatorial election to take place next month will go a- gainst them still more overwhelmingly. We have no doubt that Col. Davis will resign in ac- cordance with his pledge, for, badly as we think of his politics, we regard him as a gentleman of bigb personal honor. His resignation will be gratifying to all of the true and undeluded friends of the country. His whole influence in the Senate, as well as out of it, has been given to the accursed cause of disunion. The Fallstaff Quitman.—The backing out af Quitman, says the Louisville Journal is in truth about the most cowardly act that eyer disgrac. ed even a hero of the Fallstaffean breed. Ap- pointed to lead on the “ embattled hosts ” of Se. cessionists, Disunionists, Southern Rights Dem ocrats, and States’ Rights Men, he had no right after marching with prodigious stride and ghar. ing pomp within sight ¢f the battle field to sud denly change bis front, throw down his sword, give up the cause, and declare tu his follo wers that the foe is by fartoo strong forthem. Had his gallantry been a match for his gasconade, he would have led on his forlorn hope and fall. en in the thickest of the fight. tion being too much fur his valor, he takes his leave of his cumrades in arms and retires from the scene leaving his admirers without a cap. tain to command them to the coming battle.

A SELF. DESTROYER. A Preacher in Ohio, lately commaniea- ted the following to the“Christian Mirrer:” About 80 miles from my residence, a young man of intemperate habits had kept his parents in constant fear for sev- eral weeks, by his violent, threatening de- portment. At length, he one day rashed at his father with a stone in bis hand, ex- claiming, * You or] must die.” Being in- toxicated, he fell forward on the ground. A flask which he had io his pantaloons pocket, broke ; a piece of the glass pene- trated his body, severed an artery, and in a few minutes he was dead ! Inhuman Conduct.—We have been put in possession of the following facts, for the truth. fulness of which we have the most undoubted authority. We are surprised, nay astonished, to learn that there are persons in Cayoga coun- \y—a county celebrated for the general inteili- gence and refinement of her people—whe ate so superstitious as to believe in thee of such monstrous treatment for the cure of .con- sumption, or who are so uncivilized in their feelings as the account proves them to be. It is stated that ahwut two years since a man died in a neighboring town, of connie tion, and was buried.. Other members of the family are afflicted with the same disease ; a brather is not expected to live but a short time. Ou Sunday last, some of the brothers and other friends of the deceased, proceeded to the grave with shovel and pick, dug up the body, opened the coffin, cut the shroud, and thea a surgeon was found to cut from that mass of cor ruption, the heart and lungs, which were ina state of tolerable preservation, considering the length of time since the death of the person. The heart and lungs were laid upon.the grase, impregnating the atmosphere with theic hersid odor, and wrapped in the pocket handkerébief of one of the brothers, carried home and burned while the members of the family inhaled their incense, and afterwards ate the ashes, The above are facts, but-they are so sicken. ing and horrible that we felt inclined at first to keep them from the public eye, but a second thought led us to hope ia by giving them pab- licity, steps would be taken to civilize and re- fine the feelings of those. who were participants in the transactions.—Auburn Advertiser. [FROM THE COMMERCIAL. } Mr. Lorine :—A friend and neighbor of mine whois in the habit of (occasionally) bor- rowing the Baltimore Sun, returned several numbers a day of two since, and said he would not borrow them again if they did not print on large and clearer type. He had frequent. ly burrowed it of others who were subseri bers and found it invariubly the case ; the print so small and bad, that it was worth more to read the news from it than the news was worth af. ler getting it; especially if one has weak eyes. He thinks the Sun has dune more for the optics al instrument maker, than it has fur the liberas itors of Cuba. 1 must say | think be was at \least half right. I often strain my eyes ex- _cessively to read it. I would be pleased to see it appear in a new suil. Now that4be Cuban excitement is over. O-Ths copies we get of the Baltimore Sun are always very fair. ‘The type is necessarily small. Borrowers are always the most diffi, | cultto please in a newspaper.

' jects of interest which they were invited to ex- | three -amine while in the city. Amorg these he prom. ‘inently placed the public schools, which, said |the Mayor, are the only things, or the main things, we have to be proud of; for they are | the foundation of all the rest, the groundwork of | our prosperity. ‘These schouls will be in op. eration as Usual to-day and to-morrow, and gen. tlemen are invited to step in and see how twen. | ty thousand of our children are there in train. |ing.” It is creditable to Boston that the fame of her schoul] system is so great abroad that gentlemen from Canada have made a special request lo have an opportunity to visit them du- ring their present visit tothecity. But for this | the Bchools would have had a holyday. They | will, as jt is, on Friday, when the pupils will be out in procession. THE AMERICAN ENEMIES, Buranger has a song of “ Vivent nos amis les enemies.” ‘There are folks among us | who may well sing it. We have heretotore pointed out various identities of doctrine and co-incidences of action, between the Abolition men and the Chivalry; as, for instance, the follow- ing: Both are opposed to the Compromise generally, and have threatened resistance to it: | Both swear it is fatal to all the princi- | ples that are dear to their hearts: | Both hold it to be a total violation of the | Federal Constitution : | Both denounce it as embodying viola- | tions of State Rights: | Each declares that it sacrifices every g to the other side: | thin Both have urged the people to fly to | arms against it: Both insist that its provisions are all ‘null and void: Both aver that if it is to be a condition | of the Union, they are for Disunion: The one of these parties set on foot the annexation of Texas; the other virtually forwarded it; for Both thought it would be certain to bring about a dissolution of the confede- racy $ : The one of them procured the nomina- tion of the Texas and pro slavery candi- date, Polk ; the other knowingly voted, so as to insure bis election: In Congress, it has generally been the _temark as to votes there, “As the Aboli- _tionists go, so go the Disunionists.” | Thus the two Senators from this State, | Mason and Hunter, and its locofoco dele- | gation in Congress, except Mr. Edmonson | voted generally against the Compromise. ‘and did their best to defeat it: a fact which gave occasion for that pleasant say- ing of John P. Hale, when he was asked ‘how he dared to visit Richmond, and an- swered, “I saw that your two Senators and your Delegates in Congress could come here without being ‘mobbed ;’ | did not see, therefore, why I should be.” It is clear that, on the same motives _ which made them desire alike the annex- ation of Texas, they must again sympa- thize strongly in the project of the Filli- busters. For though, thanks to the Com- promise, Disunion, as a consequence of the Mexican war, missed fire, yet Cuban annexation would be likely to have much better luck, Jf that he only got to go off, the Union will be blown quite as sky-high as the patriotic souls of either of these _amiable and most deserving parties can | desire.— Richmond Whig. Mr. Botts, of Virginia, in his recent speech at Richmond accepting “the Whig nomination for Congress from that district, made the follow. ing allusion to Mr. Fillmore and his Adminis. | tration : | “ There is another question, gentlemen, which it becomes you tw consider, and I do not think that J shall be violating the rule I preacribed to myself at the commencement of my address— of not introducing any subject upon which my worthy competitor would desire to reply to me aby making a slight reference to it.

The Acting Secretary of State address- ed the following letter some days ago to the Governor of Maryland, in reply to a commuanication from that lunctionary to the President ofthe United States, com plaining of the Christiana tragedy : Derarrment or Stare, W asaineton, September 16. 1851. To his Excellency the Governor of Maryland : Sir: Your letter of the 15:h instant to the President has been received. In re- ply 1 am instructed to say that on Satur. day last official reports of the outrage re- ferred to by your Excellency were receiv ed from the Commissioner of the United States in Philadelphia, and the District Attorney for the Eastern District of Penn- sylvania. After a careful consideration of the sub ject, orders were dispatched by the Presi dent ta the proper officers of the United States in Pennsylvania, requiring them to proceed immediately to arrest all persons criminally concerned in the transaction. The District Attorney was especially instructed to ascertain whether the fact would make out the crime of treason against the United States, and, if so, to take prompt measores to secure all con cerned for trial for that offence. I am instrugted to assure your Excel lency'that the President regards the viola. tion of the rights of the peaceful citizens of Maryland with deep abhorrence, and that he will not fail to exert all his consti- tutional powers to bring the offenders to merited punishment, and to prevent simi lar outrages in future. I am, sir, very respectfully, your obedient servant, W.S. DERRICK, Acting Secretary. We learn from the Post Office De part- ment that the lock submitted under the recent advertisement of the Postmaster General, by Mr. Henry C. Jones, of New ark. (N.

Mc- Gregor and Lee, of Cincinnati, Obio. We are desired to state that all mail matter for Salt Lake, New Mexico, should be sent to the Post office at Independence. Missouri. The mail leaves each termin- ating point on the first day of every month. The mails for new Mexico will leave Independence on the first of each month, and arrive at Santa Fe by the 29th, re. turning from Santa Fe by the same sched- ule.

Not long after the death of her husband the woman married again. Soon the girl died, and very recently the boy was reported missing. The sudden and mysterious disappear- ance of the child together with the fact | that upon the death of the woman’s first | husband, the property he possessed was left to the children, aroused suspicion in the neighborhood, when a search was made for the boy. He was found in the woods adjacent, with both legs broken and his mouth sewed up-being still alive, however, he was properly cared for, when he reported that his mother and step-fath. er had been the perpetrators of the deed, in addition, that his sister’s skull had been broken by them, which caused her death. The boy’s statement further tended to de- velop the fact, that the girl was known before her death to have had a bandage around her head ; and upon the body being exhumed. it was found, as the boy had stated, that the skull was fractured. The parents were arrested and imprisoned at Versailes. MORE LYNCH LAW. The El Dorado (California) News, ex- tra, of the 9th of August, contains the fol- ‘ed near the scene of the bloady tragedy ‘lowing: | Yesterday. at about 2 o'clock, P. M., as two miners, Jim Graham and Alexander Leslie, were returning to Greenwood Val- ley, and when within a mile of that place, while stopping to rest, Graham asked Les- lie to lend him a needle and thread to mend his pantaloons. After he had got through with it he returned it to Leslie, and while he was putting it up Graham shot him with a shot gun, five buck shot lodging in the back part of his head and /neck. Graham’ then robbed him of seven hundred dollars in gold dust, and started for Sacramento. In about half an hour Leslie recovered sufficient to crawl to acabin about a mile distant and gave the alarm, whena party imme- diately set out in pursuit of Graham, and succeeded in capturing him about three miles below the place, and recovering the gold. He was taken back to Greenwood Val- ley, when a Court of the people was call- ed, a jury of twelve men chosen, and the trial commenced. Everything was con- ducted in a cool and deliberate manner. | After a patient hearing. which lasted from /10 o'clock at night till 12 next day, the | jury retired and soon returned with a ver- dict of guilty, and sentenced the prisoner to be hung. He was allowed a few hours to prepare for death, and at 7 o'clock this evening. was taken to a tree in the rear /of the American Hotel, where he was hung. Graham was a sailor from Baltimore, Md. Leslie is yet alive, but very little hope of bis recovery are entertained. He has a father and mother residing in Ron- | dleville, N. C. A POWERFUL DELINEATION. | The following isan extract from the ad- dress of Judge Johnson, of Georgia, in sen- _tencing G. C.

And why not do so? We would rejoice to see a meeting of Contractors simply for the purpose of de- termining on what day their several con- tracts shall be completed. With this point settled, all the other arrangements neces- sary might be made in reference to it. and the whole work completed a year or two earlier than is now expected. There is no reason why North Carolina should not work a miracle! especially if there is mor ney to be saved by the operation. Gov. Johnston. of Pennsylvania.—The Rev. J. S. Gorsuch, an Kpiscopalian min- ister of high standing, and son of the late Edward Gorsuch. has written a very sharp letter to the Governor of Pennsylvania, censuring him for neglect of duty in not. issuing his proclamation for the arrest of the murderers of his father in time to se- curethem. The Governor, it seems, pass on the evening of the same day. The cars stopped near the place, and a num ber of passengers went to see the corpse. The Governor, however, was not of the number. Moreover. he showed his indif- ference on the subject by not issuing his proclamation until the fifth day alter- wards. It would have been gratifying to the people of the Southern States to have had a better example from him. The President of the U. States acted promptly. and was at work, by his officers. before the Governor commenced. So much for having a Constitution-abiding President in the Chair. One of the most unblushing falsehoods that we have met with of late is the at- tempt by the Raleigh Standard and Tar boro’ Press, in representing Mr. Stanly as being to blame for a threatened negro io- surrection in his district some weeks ago. These political gamblers talk of that thing _as though they believed Mr. Stanly had | { brought it about: It only shows the deep malignity of heart which they entertain towards him, as a Whig.

A YANKEE IN ACOTTON MILL, BY ‘GAMBOGE.’ Did you ever see, read, or hear tel] of ‘a | green ’un in a cotton mill?’ Pray don’t answer rasbly ; don’t lose yourself among Yankees in Coal Screens,’ ‘Yankees in Hot Baths, -Yankees in Res- tauratears, and answer unadvisedly.— ‘Yes!” Mineisa Yankee in a new phase. His dilemma is a Yankee fix—’ sui gene- ris, a live Y@nkee in the card room of a cotton mill ! The plain, unvarnished facts in the case, as politicians say, are these: A raw strawhatted, sandy-whiskered, six footer —one of the purely uninitiated—came in yesterday from Greene, with a load of wood for the factory company. Having piled his wood to the satisfaction of the ‘Squire,’ he baited his teem with a bun- die of Greene grass, brought all the way from thence for that purpose. Then, af. ter investing bis avajlable capital in the purchase of root beer and’gingerbread at Ham’s, he started to see the ‘city,’ filling his countenance rapidly with bread, and chewing it vigorously as he went. He reviewed the iron foundry and ma-_ chine shop, and was just opposite the warp-mill as the ‘hands’ were going in from dinner. The girls were hurrying in as only factory girls can hurry, and Jona- than, unaccustomed to such an array of plaid shawls and hood bonnets, deposited his goad stick upon the stairs and stalked in ‘to see what the trouble was,’ The clatter of the machinery, and the movements of the operatives, soon absorp- ed his whole attention. Being, howev- er, of an inquiring turn of mind, and see- ing much which was calculated to per- plex one whose observations in mechanics had been confined to threshing machines and corn shellers, he began to push vigor- ous inquiries in all directions. In this way he made himself acquainted successively with the external and internal economy of * picker, ‘beater,’ ‘lampwinder,’ ‘doubler, and ‘speeder.’ By 2 o'clock he had exten- ded his researches as far as the‘ breakers,’ | and ° finishers,’ He reached the latter just as the card stripper was ‘stripping the flats.’ In this operation the cylinder of the card is ex- posed to view, and is seen revolving with a very pretty buzz. Not satisfied with con- templating the ‘poetry of motion’ ata safe distance, our hero must needs introduce himself between the cards to get a nearer view. This move brought his‘nether ha- biliments, into dangerous proximity with the gearing of the next card, and thereby hangs a tale.’ "You, I say! She goes pooty don’t she Boss? said Johnathan, inquiringly. ~ ‘She don't do anything else,’ responded the stripper. But you must be careful! how you move around amongst the hard ware.—it was only week, sir, that a pro mising young man from QOxford—a stu dent at the Academy here was drawn in. to that very card, sir, and betore any as sistance could reach him, was run through and manufactured into No. 16, super ex tra colton yarn.’ | s—s—wow! I believe year joking" stutteted Johnathan. ° ‘Fact, sir continued Stripper, ‘and bis disconsulate mother came down two days ago, and got five bunches of the same yarn, as melancholy relies.’ *By the mighty! that can’t be true.’ "Pact, sir, fact, and each of his fellow students purchased a skein apiec?, to be set in lockets, and wear in remembrance of departed worth.’ "Is that a fact, now? carded, spun. and sei in lockets ?’ A scene of personal danger here shot. across our hero’s mind, and he began to. retreat precipitately, witbout Waiting for | an answer. There was not much robm to spare he. tween himself and the gearing of the card behind. Another step backwards com pleted the ceremony of introduction. His unwhisperables being of-rate ‘caliber.’ the | process of snarling them pp into a knot was no way slow. Ourhero'gave tongye’ instanter, and by the twentieth gyration - Was he really ‘ of the.c oduuné ous th xplot atid did-bpner tq a wiles ics. Gen, Scott bimse]{ could not, protested more forcibly against do aitack on the rear.” . ‘Oh! Mau-rder!—let go! youh-oF*. Blast your pictor, let go! Ain't ye. asham- ed! Git out “Taint pooty! Darnation seize you! Let alone me, can’t ye? do? -The gearing by this time had wound him up so that he was obliged to stand on tip toe. His hands were revolving vigorously bebind him. but he dared not ventare them too near the ‘seat of war,’ Jest they should be‘drawn in hostilities. The card stripper threw off the be]t, bu volving, and our bero supposing it in full operation, burst out anew. ; ‘Ob, stup her! do-+I an’t well, and I or- ter be at home. Father wants the steers, and mother’s going to bake. Stop: the tarnal machine can’t ye, do! Ain't ye | got no feelin’ tor a feller in distress? O. dear! I'll be carted and spun and made |into lockets. Je-ru sa lem!! How I do wish | was to Greene.’ | The card was stopped at last, but Jona- _than’s clothes were so tangled in the gear- ing that it wag no slight task to extricate him. Like Othetlo, ‘he was not easily moved,’ and it was only by cutting out the whole of the invested territory, that he was finally released. | ‘What are you about here? said the “overseer, entering. | Nothing, sir, only stripping flats,’ an- swered the stripper, Our hero not caring to resume his ‘pur- suit of knowledge onder difficulties, a pair of overhauls were charitably lent him, and he scattered suddenly towards Mill Hill giving a series of short kick with either leg on hig way, as if to assure bimself that be had brought away his full comple- ment of ‘limbs,’ from the ‘cussed ma- chine.’ ° { | KEPT HIM SOBER. Every body knows Sam Revis, a clever, in- _dustrious worthy citizen, but a little given to welling bis eye sometimes ; or ia other words, | \ { | | | } to use hig own phrase, apt to put himself in plight “to cut a secondation on the heel tap.” Equally well known is Esq., J., formerly a Jus. tice but now holding another office, in the coun. ity. a propensity to keep bis friends out of difficulty Among his singular traita not the least is when he can, and to assist them when they are already in. Sam bad been keeping a public school, the proceeds of which had pretty custly replenished his fob, and with which he set off for town, it being County Court day, where Esq. J—was one ol the Justices who held the Court. He saw Sam going through the operation of turning his little finger over hig, thumb pretty frequently, which he knew would have the ef. fect of reducing the available fund of his ex. chequer, and produce, perhaps, a crisis in his financial operations, he concluded, therefore if possible to prevent it. So, soon as the Court was opened, he ordered the sheriff to call Sam Revis. Sam was called into court accordingly | woudering what they wanted with him, to find out which he waited patiently for some time. Presently he began to feel very dry and con. cluded he would slip round the corner and dam per alittle, but just as he got about halt way, ' the Squire, who bad been eyeing him all the time, ordered that he be again called. Samre. turned and took his seat, but had not remained long until be concluded he might be more for. |lunate than before, so off be put. Just as he | reached the corner he heard the sheriff calling out fur him again. He stopped short but did’nt }answer, The Squire ordered the Sheriff to make proclamation, which, as soon as Sam heard, he broke fur the Court house in a long trot, the drops of sweat rolling down his face the size of bullets, and presenting to the Court a countenance truly amusing. He kept his | seat during the day afier that, Wailing, to know what he was called for, which he did’nt find out till near night, when he started home as cool as a cucutnber, and as sober asa Judge. | Warrenton News.

FAINHERE is a fair prospect of a Company of North- ern Mechanics and Manufacturers settling on the Eagle or South Eagle Tract. The South Eagle Tract is adjoining the Eagle,on both of which is a splendid water power of great force. I havea beautiful piece of Land in the South Eagle Tract which I propose to lay off in small lots of one fourth of an acre each, for the ac- commodatjon of Merchants, Doctors, and Mechanics. All such persons would do well to give this rising place due attention. “There is a tide in the affairs of men Which, taken at its flood, Leads on to” happiness and wealth. Here is a chance. Capitalists would also do well to look this way. Ineed a little help to carry on more suc- cessfully, the enterprises in which I am engaged and on which I propose to enter. J am steadily progressing, however, though slowty, with my original schemes, to wit: the erection of Factories for spinning cotton and wool, and for calico printing. But as I advance the prospect opens up, and invites to larger and more fruitful fields. This location for manufacturing purposes and for a Town, is very favorable. It is near enough to the great Central Rail Road, and in a very healthy region of Country. I will sell lots privately on the most favorable terms to suit purchasers. The water power on the South Eagle Tract, is immense, and capable of driving almost any amount of Machinery. Early applications either for lats or an interest in the present or proposed enterprises will receive the most favorable offers. 2 3m4 ANDREW RAGGARLY. Iredell Ccuniy, N. C., May 14, 1851 DR. M.

If all the cotton mills,manufacturesgenerally,and the iron furnaces were in|full operation,with only moderately re-munerative prices,it is palpable therewouldbenobalanceoftradeagainstus,and the prices of cotton,wheat,corn,andindeedalmostalltheproductsofthesoil, would be higher,because there would be much larger quantities required for home consumption.We also solemnly believe that for every dollar the farmer pays to sustain manufactures at home.(not abroad, as under the existing tariff,)he gets five dollars additional price for his products. How easy for any one to see that if for the last two years our exports had been more than our imports,the present condi- tion of merchantile affairs would not have been brought upon us by immense exports | of coin,and that,instead of apprehend. ing graver financial difficulties,the coun- try would now be eminently prosperous.Though the writer is not affected by the times,as he thinks it wiser to be idle during a crisis,it is hoped that Congress will considef it indispensable to do some work before the end of December,and,by lessening imports,arrest the downward tendency of things.No one desires high duties,but they should be moderately pro- tective,and specific,as far as they can be so,to put an end to frauds tremendous.

The Hon.E.Joy Morris,the American Minister to Naples,in a letter addressed tothe “Republic.”gives a minute account of the terrible earthquake which occur- red in the western portion of the kingdom of Naples on the 14th of July,by which some two thousand five hundred lives were lost,and several towns either total. ly prostrated or greatly damaged.Mr. Morris says that previous to the shock a small stream that runs near the city of Melfi suddenly disappeared,and adds: “At the first shock Melfi,which con tains ten thousand inhabitants,was pros- 'trated in the dust,nothing but a few crum bling walls surviving the general ruin.— An unknown number of its inhabitants were buried under the falling mass of fabrics.Up to the present moment (Au gust 26th)seven hundred dead bodies| i have been disinterred,and many others 'are constantly being found.More than two hundred persons lie in an adjacent hospital,suffering under grievous wounds,|while many have been dug out alive from | Amongst others,a female in-| fant,a year old,after lying buried fortwo. | days,was brought out living and unharm ‘ed,and restored to its afflicted mother, widowed by the same calamity.."The shocks and rumbling of the earth | to get the necessary funds,and the poor point his workmen and all who depend upon him for their due.It is an.easymattertowork—the only real glory in this life is an independent idea to be abletosustainyourselfbythelaborof-yourownhands,and it may be imagined what ushing force there is in ‘I'll call around'and pay,’to the laboring man who de- |pends upon that pay for subsistence.If 'those who could pay would pay at onee,|it would place hundreds and thousandsin la condition to do likewise,and prevent i much misery and distress. |A KIDNAPPER. |A supposed Kidnapper,calling himself|Wood,was committed to jail in this city, |last week,by Mr.Sheriff High,he hav- |ing attempted to sell two negro men un-der suspicious circumstances.One of the |negroes was also committed:the other |escaped.The case was brought before|the Court on Manday.when Mr.McDan- iel,of Campbell county,Va.,came for-.|ward and claimed the nogro.and proved his title.The other negro is said to be- _long to a Mr.Tucker,of Halifax county, |Va.,and has been committed to jail in |Hillsborough.The kidnapper,whose real /name is Marshall,has been committed to |await the action of the Executive of Vir- |ginia,as the crime was committed in that |State.—Raleigh Star.

Hence,we say,it is of the first inypor tance that the road works which are now in progress and about to be commenced, should be executed in the very best man ner,and on the surest principles,and yet with the greatest economy.both immedi- ate and prospective.To do this,companies should not act hastily,especially in laying down their plans of operation.and in the choice of plans for the work.They should use diligence in collecting all the informa tion that can be gathered on the subject, wherever it is tobe had.And this brings us to the point for which we set out,which is,to call attention to the improvements in plank roads patented by Mr.Joseph E. Ware,of St.Louis,some year or two ago. Having seen a notice of this improve ment in our exchanges.we have taken some pains to ascertain in what it consist. ed,and have satisfied our mind of its im- portance.We believe Mr.Ware's plan of constructing these roads secures sever- al advantages not attained by the ordina ry method,to wit:a large saving of lum ber.a firmer road,and greater durability. There are other points in the plan wor- thy of consideration ;and some others which are purposely withheld by Mr. Ware himself,for his own protection,and right to use his system.Of these we shall not now speak further,having done all we felt called upon to do.We shall there- fore close our remarks at present,by giv- ing the following certificate of Governor Jones,of Tenn.,in regard to Mr.Ware’s system. Mr.Ware—Dear Sir:|have heen build- ing a Plank Road trom Memphis to German- town,aud have tried the old and new plans.— decidedly cheapest.‘The bearings that I use of the description referred to in your patent.—The economy of using your term of hearing,arisesfromthefactthatallthe‘feather’or*waneedged’planks are saved.as well as the time,trouble and loss in squaring the sleepers,andasavinginlayingthesame.The amount sav.ed by your system is at least 25 per ceut inthecostofmaterialforroadbuilding.

In the second place,the more to protect,to build up,and make rich Syraeyse and her salt boilers,the Srate of New York levies a dis- criminating duty by toUs,ov her canals against all foreign salt,so that nearly a MoNnopoty of the sale of salt in the western and central!parts ofthis State,and in the Lake States,is thus secured by protective law to Syracuse.

Prof.Emmons made a survey,some years since,of the State of New York;|&4 and his labors in that State have reselt- ed much benefit to the interest of her peo- ple,and received the highest commenda- tions.He was recommended to Governor Reid by those well informed as to his pro- fessional acquirements,as eminently qual- ified for the duties of the post to which he has been called. A letter from Gov.Marcy,of N.York, dated Albany,August 28,1851,contains the strongest testimony in behalf of Prof. Emmon’s qualifications and acquiremenis, Gov.Marcy says: “*When it became my duty to arrange the Geological survey of this State,and to selectproperpersonstoexecutethework,[sought for such as |believed to have the highest qual.ifications.Prof.E.Emmons was then (1836) one of the Professors of William’s College.(Mass.)and I became convinced that his qual. ifications and acquirements were such that |ought to employ him in that enterprise,if Icouldgethim.I succeeded jn securing his ser.vices.He was appointed oneof the principal Geologists,and in that capacity and kindred pursuits has been in the employment of the State ever since—more than fifieen years.I can speak with entire confidence of hie emi- nent fitness for conducting any Geological sur vey.He has established for himself a high character for his knowledge not anly in Geolo zy,but in Etomology,&c.This will appear | most evident to those who may look ai the pub. lication of this State on these qubjecis.Five volumesof the whole workein all about twen-ty—have been prepared and written by Prof. Emmons.Of these,Agricultural subjects con- stitute a valuable part.His works are the best recommendation which can be given to him.” This appointment has been somewhat delayed,solely on account of the anxiety of the Governor to engage the servicesof| some native citizen in thisimportant work;| but no suitable person of this description could be found,who was willing to un-. dertake it. We publish below the act authorizing this survey,which will furnish our read- ers with some idea of the great and sub- stantial benefits to the State which must result from a faithful execution of the work.The act is as follows: AN ACT to provide for a Geovwgical and Ag- ricultural survey of the State. Sec.1.Be tt enacted by the General As.sembly of the State of North Carolina.and u is hereby enacted by the authority of the same, That the Governor shall,as soon as practica-ble,select and appoint some suitable person to conduct,under the general supervision of him.self and the Literary Board,a Geological,Min. eralogical,Botanical and Agricultural survey of the State.Sec.2 Be it further enacted,That it shall be the duty of the person so selected and ap pointed,to examine and survey each and everycountyintheState,to ascertain the different geological formations of each county and sec- tion of the State;the nature,character and value of its minerals;the nature and charac. ter of its soils,and the best mode of improving the same;the nature and kind of its produc. tions,and their position and relative value;its facilities for manufactories;the extent and value of its water power;the character and value of its botanical productione;the charac- ter and value of its timber;and all other facts connected with the subjects of geology,miner- alogy,botany and agriculture,which may tend toa full development of the resources of our State;and that the said person so selected and appointed to conduct said survey,shall be au. thorized to employ such agents and assistants to be approved of by the Governor,as may be necessary to enable him speedily to accom. plish the objects committed to his charge ;and he shall,from time to time,communicate to the Governor,to be by him communicated to the |Legislature,a report or reports,in writing,set.|ling forth fully the results of his eurvey ;which| reports shall be published under the supervis.| ion of the Governor and Literary Board.Sec.3.Beit further enacted,That the ex. penditure incured by said survey shall not ex- ceed five thousand dollars per annum,to be paid by the Public Treasurer upon the warrant of the Governor,ont of any moneys in the Treasury not otherwise appropriated. Sec.4.Beit further enacted,That it shall be the duty of the person making such survey to deliver lectures upon the subject committed to his charge,in the villages through which he sha!l pass:Provided,that be shall not there. by delay his other duties.[Ratified 24th January,1851.] THAT CRAVAT. The Editor of the Weldon Patriot,noti- has been presented with a nice cravat,the reception whereof he acknowledges,and describes to be as “fine as possible,and as black as the wing of darkness.”The Patriot advises that no more cravats be sent to him of the Standard,and is fear. ful that he might hang himself in one of dy presented to him.Mr.Holden is alawyer;and though not in practice,knows it would be very unprofessional to bang himself;his line of business running in accordance with hanging other people.It would be like a Doctor’s taking his own physic,a thing which no sensible gentle: man of that profession is often guilty of, if he can avoid it.Whatever there may be of hanging in the premises,we take great comfort in believing it will not be done by the Editor himself.—Wil.Com. Texas.—The recent election shows very clearly that Texas is rapidly gaining in popu- lation.The increase in the number of vulee alrerdy reported ag having been cast at the last election,says the ‘Fexas Civilian,indicates graph : Works, a vote of at jast 30,000 fur the whole State. Cotton shows no change inprices.The sales of the weekhave been 39,500 bales;of which speculators took 9.300,and exporters 11.000. Flour was firm at previous rates.Corn was not plenty,and tull prices were readily obtain. A despaich from Dover of the26thsays that the submarine telegraph has been laid to withio three and a hall miles of Dover,and the com- munication with the English coast is most per- fect. Lord Palmerston lately delivered a speech at a public dinner at Tiverton,upon subjects con: nected with foreign politics,domestic progress, religious tuleration,commercial freedom,and the extinction of the stave trade.The Govern. ment,he said,felt it their duty 10 promote peace and progress among nations,and were antious if supported by the great body of nations,to per- suade other Governments,as far as propriety would admit,to extend to their several countries the same social and-political blessings enjoyed in England. The London Chronicle learns that the re- sult ofthe meeting of the officers of the Arctic expedition of Admiralty,consisting of SirEd. ward Parry,Sir James Ross,and Capt.Beech. ey,was a unanimous expression of opinion that Franklin had taken passage to the northwest out of Wellington Channel,and that he-muet he sought by the same route. A telegraph despatch announces the arrival of Kossuth at Smyrna,on board of the Missig- sippi. A serious Demosratic disturbance had bro. en out at Cheryin France.An armed lorce had Iefi Paris fur St.Armand,and several ar. resia had been made.Among the prisoners are some who,it is undefstood,have been con. nected with the great fire at the Metairie Iron The district abounds in secret socie ties,whose members are bound together by the most solemn oaths. The conductors of the ‘Government”and La Presse”newspapers,who were ceized a short time since,have each been fined 100,000 francs,and condemned to six months imprison. ment. Six missionaries,two French,two Germans, and two Belgians,are about to leave Paris for Oregon. Commercial affairs in Paris are very dull, and iv the departments still more seo. The fatlure of the Austrian loan had caused the deepest mortification at Vienna. The line of railway between St.Petersburg and Moscow was to be opened for trade on the 15th November.~ British Power apears to be on the de- cline.This,at least,is affirmed by some of the most distinguished writers of the present day.For example,Blackwood states that the decrease of the population of the British Island since 1846 is 809.990. There has also been a decline in the re- sources of the empire.From a paper lately laid before Parliament,it appears that the property assessed for trades and professions—that is the commerce and munufactures of Great Britain—exhibits a falling off from 1848 to the close of 1850 to the amount of more than nine millions sterling;and from a statement made in the House of Commons,with— out contradiction from the Ministerial benches,the returns from land exhibited a falling off of twenty millions sterlingsincetherepealoftheCornLaws.Were Ireland included,the opinion is expres sed that the decline wou]d be ten mill- ions more.The property tax returns are now declining at the rate of fifty thousand pounds sterling a quarter.The London Times is quoted as admitting that for two years and a half agriculture in Great Bri- tain has been carried on at rates below a remunerative level. The Boston papers say that at the great dinner under the pavilion.on the Com mon during the late jubilee,plates were laid for 3,500 persons,and more than that number were present.Mr.Smith.the caterer,gives the amount of meats,fruit, &c.as follows:Meats,6,000 pounds;tur- keys,100:tongues,100;pigeous,1.200; chickens,1,000 ;ice cream,1.000 quarts; grapes,1.000 pounds;pears,25 bushels; peaches,50 bushels;ice,six tons;bou- quets.4,000;pigs,50;geese,76 ;ducks, 715.Besides these,there were bread,cake, oranges,apples,&c.;of the quantity of which no estimate can be made.There were two thousand silver spoons and the same numberof silver forks on the tables; the rest were common articles.The frag: ments that remained after all that sat down had eaten their dinner would besufficientfor6.000 persons.

The twa@late outrages perpetrated at the North,against the laws of the United States,and private citizens,the one at Christiana in Pa.,and the other,at Sy- racuse,N.Y..have doubtless produced a strong sensation throughout the Southern States.It is true,this feeling has not de- monstrated itself in great commotions of the people.Let it not be supposed,there fore,that they are viewed with the slight- est indifference.The fact is.by far the larger portion of the Southern people have been active in arresting the disunion proceedings commenced and urged in al- “most every county throughout the South, with more or less zeal,for the last year; and in this work have committed them- selves to peace measures for the sake of the Union ;apologising for the North,and promising her fidelity to the Constitution and laws in future.With what chagrin and bitter resentment do these men—the Union men of the South—now witness the lawless,traitorous acts alluded to above! Depend upon it,they are not indifferent spectators of these scenes.The broken laws of the land,and the blood of the slain,must be avenged.Reparation must be made by bringing the offenders to jus- tice.The guilty ones must be lifted up, ignominiously,to the gaze of the whole country.They have not only merited an awful fate,but have kindled flames which their blood can alone extinguish. The Southern Congress.—The election for members to the Southern Congress came off in South Carolina on Monday and Tuesday last.We have no reports as yet.But we confidently expect the returns will show the existence of two parties in South Carolina;and that they are near enough equal in strength to check the secession movement.

TRUTH FITLY AND BRAVELY * SPOKEN. We are glad to find that the ‘*Southern Pa. 99 4triot,”the fearless and*generous supporter of the principlesof the Union as it is,or,in other words,the Constilulion of the United States as it has been for staty odd years,disdains to join in the general cry of accusation against the General Governmem,as oppressing,or perse- culing,or menacing the State of South Carolina. We copy from that paper,(published,as our readers know,at Greenville,S.C.)under date of the Ist instant,the following remarks :[Nat.Intelligencer. It is high time for the co-operationists,whilst fighting secession,and knowingthat it will bring disaster,and ruin,dishonor,to close their exaggerated misrep- resentations of the oppressions of the Federal Government.They cannot,at the same time, go with the secessionists,and beyond the se. cessionists,in depicting the pretended misery and degredation of the people of South Carolina, and then ask them to be quiet and submit to it till other States come to their aid,who have already declared,by overwhelming majorities, that they will never come under existing cir- cumstances. These pictures of our wrongs are untrue,and every where out ot South Carolina they have been pronounced untrue by the Southern peo.| ple.Were they true,the whole would act as one man,shivering to pieces the Republic,theInadmitting them to be true,as the distinguished co-opera.- tion leaders do,they arm the secessionists with weapons which they cannot resist.[tis not in humannature to bear such wrongs.No honorable man would take his seat in Congress from the South if the Northern members were all a set of cut.throats,incendiaries,and robbers, trying to set our negroes free,steal from us our property,and set the midnight torch to our houses. Good men and true,who love their country, and who love order,peace,and regulated liber. ty,seeking from their public men information,| are astonished to hear such palpable contradic- tions in the speeches and addresses of their. They reply,very nata.|leading statesmen, rally,there must be a mistake somewhere. These pictures of Federal oppression and North.| (ern aggression are not true,or the people of 'the other Southern States would instantlyfly to arms and fight their death by the side of South Carolina. It is high time for the co-operationists to quit this suicidal course.Let them present things fairly to the peoble,and tell the truth, the whole truth,and nothing but the truth. There would be no danger in secession,in sep- arate State action—none at all—if all that has been said and is said in South Carolina were trne.There would be no waiting for co-oper- ation ;it would be immediate and siraultaneous thronghout the whole South. We are happy and prosperous as a people. and feel no tyranny or oppression. may have been attempted,insults may have been offered,and injuries done us by the Federal | Government,but they have not been of such a cBaracter as to justify us in commencing a revolution and acivil war.This is known and falt every where out of South Carolina,and so | admitted by the Southern Rights party them. selves in Mississippi,Georgia,Louisiana,and the Southern States. it has been a race and a contest with our politt- cians,and newspaper presses,and stump orators, to see who could make things the blackest and foulest. In other Southern States the people have heard both sides,and have come to correct con- clusions.But in South Carolina they have heard neither side. but misrepresentation and exaggeration on one side,and by these exaggerations and misrepre- sentations they have beendriven,by the most ho. |norable impulses,to the brinkof an awful preci- pice ;and now they are disposed to jump over in order to avoid dangers behind. The man who ran away and hunghimselfto avoid being killed in battle was not under a greater delusion than the secessionists are in flyingto certain dishonor and destruction to avoid evils and dangers which never will,never can come.

Here Mr.Spaulding found a triend and |acquaintance in the person of Mr.Pat- |terson,an editor ofa newspaper.He ex-hibited his manuscript to Mr.Patterson, who was much pleased with it,and bor- rowed it for perusal.He retained it for |a long time,and informed Mr.Spaulding ‘that if he would make out a title-page‘and preface he would publish it,and it might be a source of profit.This Mr. Spaulding refused todo.Sidney Rigdon, who has figured so largely in the history ‘of the Mormons,was at that time con- nected with the printing office of Mr.Pat- 'terson,as is well known in that region, and,as Rigdon himself has frequently sta- |ted,became acquainted with Mr.Spaul- ding’s manuscript,and copied it.I was a matter of notoriety and interest to all ‘connected with the printing establishment. At length the manuscript was returned to _jts author,and soon after we removed to Amity.Washington county,&c.,where Mr.Spaulding deceased in 1816.The manuscript then/fel into my hands,and was carefully preserved.It has frequent- ly been examined by my daughter,Mrs. M’Kenstry,of Monson Massachusetts, with whom I now reside,and by other friends.After the Book of Mormon came out a copy of it was taken to New Salem, the place of Mr.Spaulding’s former resi- dence.and the very place where the man- ‘uscript found was written.A woman preacher appointed a meeting and repea- ‘ted copious extracts {rom the Book of Mor- mon.The historical part was immedia- tely recognised by the older inhabitants as the identical work of Mr.Spauldingin which they had all been so deeply interes- ted years before.Mr.John Spaalding |was present,and recognised perfectly the work of his brother.He was amazed and afflicted that it should have been perver- ‘ted to so wicked a purpose.His grief ‘found vent in a floodof tears,and he arose on the spot and expressed to the meeting his sorrow and regret that the writings of ‘his deceased brother should be used for a ) |purpose so vile and shocking.The excite- ment in New Salem became So great that the inhabitants had a meeting and depu- ted Dr.Philastus Hurlbut,and of their number,to repair to this place,and toob- tain from me the original manuscript of Mr.Spaulding,for the purpose of compar- their own minds,and to prevent their friends from embracing an error so delu- sive.This wasin the year 1834.Dr.Hurl- but brought with him an introduction and request for the manuscript,which -was signed by Messrs.Henry Lake,Aaron Wright.and others,with all of whom I was acquainted,as they were my neigh- bors,when I’resided at New Salem.I husband more,were he living,than the use which has been made of his work.— The air of antiquity which was thrown ing it with the Mormon Bible,to satisfy | amsure that nothing would grieve my )# ew about the composition doubtless sugges-ted the idea of converting it to thé pur-poses of delusion.Thusa historical ro-mance,with the addition of a few piousexpressionsandextractsfromthesacredScriptures,has been construed into a newBible,and palmed off upon a company ofpoordeludedfanatiesasDivine.

We now subjoin an extract describing the Process pursued in the experiment.One engine only was used. “The field selected for the purpose bad grown a wheat crop,and was of good whole winter;so that by ihe time thewarmweatherofspringcomeson,theywillbeinaforwardstateandwillbefitforthetableinMay.In.addition.towhatevercommonmanuresmayhavebeenappliedtotheonionbed,give it aA VOLUME VI1I—NUMBER 2s.~|*See J i)re sil ome teeeresae ._He'bappened to;gainto a‘ardent spirits were dtanl aswell ¢ than balfdrunk.”*Well,well,2Said Mr.Haines,“I amglad there is a reformation pen VoOye be Von't,you tell:me,r.H.th ignoranceis nerytomakean-eminent preacher?” A minister,having hadbighobse |Irn wasstating the cifeumstanesto MreH.,:adding that the most of bis manuseript’ , liberal dressingof the hen house scrapings,and during the growing state of the on-ions,top-dress them with gypsum or goodashes.We particularly commend this nie-thod of growing onions to our more Sou-thern readets.Early cabbage may now be planted.Some few may go to seed and some few may perchance be winter killed,but if they are sowed liberally there will be a large supply left for spring,an when many are just ready to transplant you may be eating hard-head cabbage.— Now sow spinach,carrots,celery,mus- malleable soil.The engine—a beautiful piece of machinery—was placed on amoveabletrainroadattheendofthe,field.By wayof testing the relative pow- ers,the plough,a double one,with revers- ed shares and coulters,was drawn in one direction by horses,and contrarily by steam.The horses,four very powerful animals,bad much labor to drag the im- plement,and that only at a slow pace; whilst the engine of 26 horse power, hurried it back as fast as a man could fairly walk to conduct the plough.After several “bouts”a subsoil plough was at- inches.This additional burden,which | the horses could not possibly have drawn, evidently steadied and improved the mo- tion,and left the work in a most satisfac- tory manner.Harrows were afterwards appended with an equally pleasing re- sult.The ploughing took place across old land,which showed in some filaces considerable dips. “Two engines placed parallel at each end of the field would,without difficulty, with only a double plough,complete four acres of land in ten hours,and if required subsoil it too.The work is more effect- ively performed,for it must be borne in mind,that land ploughed by steam has this great advantage—that there are no indentations or basins left as when plough-ed by horses (from the feet)a matter of great importance on clay soils,and where subsoiling is required,an advantage that cannot be too highly appreciated.” We subjoin the estimate given of the cost of doing this work in England,com. |pared with that of accomplishing the same|work by horse power.We do this not be- |cause we suppose the information can be of any practical value in this country,but to show how low both mechanical and agricultural labor,as well as the hire of horses,are estimated,compared with the cost of the same work in this country.— The wages of engine drivers,strokers of firemen,ploughmen,and cost of fuel and horse hire must be more than double those of the estimate to command the labor here |described in this country.|‘We will now proceed to show the re- lative cost of ploughingafield of (say)24 /acres by animal power and by the aid of the steam engines.

THE SILVER DOLLAR,OR HOW GOD PROVIDES. BY MRS.H.C.KNIGHT. It was a season of great scarcity on the hill regions of New Hampshire,when a poor woman who lived in a hut by the woods had no bread for her little family. She was sick,without either friends or money.There was no helper bat Godandshebetookherselftoprayer.She prayed Jong—she prayed in earnest;for she believed that He who fed the young ravens would feed her. On rising from her knees one morning, her little bare-footed girl opened the door to go out.Something shining on the sill stopped her.The child stooped down, and behold,a silver dollar!She ran and took it to her mother.It really was a new,round,bright silver dollar.They looked up and down the road;nota liv-ing person was in sight,and neither foot- steps nor waggon-wheels were to be heard. Where did the dollar come from?DidGodsendit?Doubtless it was from his hand;but how did it get there?Did itraindown!?No.Did he throw it fromthewindowsofheaven?No.Did an angel fetch if?No.God has ways and means for answering prayer without send- ing special messengers.He touches some little spring in the great machinery of his providence,without in the Jeast disturb- ing its regularity,and help comes.Some- times we do not see exactly how,as this come more directly from him;while in in fact,our all being taken care of ever since we were born,come just as direct- ly from him,only he employs so many people to do it,fathers,mothers,servants, shop-keepers,that we are aptto lose sight of Him,and fix our eye only on them. But how did the silver dollar get on the door sill?some boy may ask.It happen- ed that a pious young blacksmith was going down to the seaboard in quest of business.It was several miles before he could take the stage coach;so,instead of going in the waggon which carried his chest,he said he would walk.“Come, ride,”they said;“it willbe hot and dus- ty.”He kept answering,“No,”to all his BY STEAM POWER. |Two drivers,at 3s each per day,6ds £1 16 0 | |Two strokers,23 do do 1 40, Ploughman,2s do do 0 12 0} |Five boys,8d do do 1 00) |Fuel,4s 8d do do 1 80 |Add‘10 per ct.wear and tear of engines, say 8d an acre.0 16 0 6 16 0 Balance in favorof Steam Power.£2 16 0) «By steam power the 24 acres would |be completed in a week.It would require at least 10 horses to plough it in the same eriod.Some lands must have more borse and manual labor,and,of course,at a greater cost than in the above calculation.. |No estimate is madeof the value of sub- ‘soiling which,with steam power,would _be better accomplished without additional ‘expense,except one man,perhaps,for _guiding the plough.” GARDENING FOR OCTOBER. |Well,kind reader,we have gone through the spring and summer gardening,and| |now.bo!for spring again..What!plant | in October for spring?Evenso.We are just beginning to fiod out some of the se- ‘crets of mother earth in this region,and |oneof the great secrets of growing nature, both vegetable and animal,is food.Be- gin now in October to collect and apply your food for plants.We have told you |before,of the great impropriety of apply- |ing animal manures in the spring to the |vegetable garden.Now manure your ‘garden grounds,and turn it well under, and when the early spring comes the crude manures will have become the proper food for plants—remember.that plants feed upon nothing except it is in solution, and the rank unrotted manures frequent- ly applied in the spring is an injury 10D- Bees a benefit ;A now,if the grounds are manured and prepared.we will show you what seeds to put in.The onion that has been produced from the top or button should now be planted,also the buttons nd the sets;and those who would make the best kind of an onion may now plant the black seed ;they will vegetate direct- ‘stopped and listened,and found it was the friends urged.“{’ll walk,and take a short cut through the pines ;”and off he start- ed with a stout walking stick.As he was sermons were consumed.Mr..H.feplie‘Don’t you'think,brother,they gave morelightfromthéfirethantheydidfromthepulpit?Ce eke whom he was indebted,had startec the far west,and stopped in town,Mr...

If the great foreign demand for our breadstuffs had continued up to the pre- Sent time,it is palpable that the whole country would now be in a state of pros- perity;because our exports would have porting thirty millions of our precious met- als since the beginning of this year,we should now be receiving them from Eu- rope in liquidation of our debt against foreigners. I fear the end is not yet,and it may be that what appears now to be a crisis in commercial and financial concerns is a mere prelude to momentous difficulties. It should be borne in mind,however,that ces of goods,and high rates for money, will lessen imports for a time;but rely up- on it the great balance-sheet will never be advantageously regulated for this coun- try until it be decreed in some way that |our exports shall generally exceed,or at The steamer America has arrived at |democratic newspapers,and his conduct was|least equalize,our imports.Then,andHalifaxfromLiverpool,whence she sail-ed on the 4th inst.She brought 108 pas:sengers.

In it,he reads the histories Of women and their maladies ; At length he comes to her disease, And ponders o’er it; And then exclaims “‘I have the teas, I think will cure it.” The woman tumbles on her bed, And then Botanic goes ahead ; And faith my friends,ye well may dread Lest that woman Be quickly numbered with the dead, The thing is very common. Lobelia,he at first pours down, (The bitter stuff!it makes her frown,) But not content with this—the clown Soon cuts a caper, By wrapping her in sheets all round, And raising vapour! He then (for there's no time to waste) Pours down his teas,of bitter taste ; And faith they vomit her in haste, (Tho’worse she’s getting) He sweats her,till she faints at last, And dies a sweating| Her husband rages,storms and frets, And madder still,and madder gets; Botanic falls into his pets, And then ’tis funny To hear this advocate of sweats, Demand his money. #**** Thus they go on from day to day, And some poor sinners kill and slay; But when they get their ill-earned pay They lounge at leisure ; ,and fish,and play, And take their pleasure.

With a grade of one in twenty-one,six hor. sesor mules could draw sixty barrels of flour |or thirty bales of hemp or cotton,and by redu. cing the grade from one in twenty one to one |in thirty,six mules or horses would be able to draw seventy four barrels of flour or thirty-se. ven bales of hemp. One thing should never be forgotten in lay- ing out grades,namely:that it is advisable, |and sometimes economy,to make a detour of |considerable extent,or to cut ‘through heavy|work rather than attempt to carry a road overanascentofanygreatextent,wherein the grade is under one in sixteen.Animals can,by ex. |traordinary exertions,draw a load up an as. cent with a grade of one to twelve,and even under;but is it not evident that it is an impos. sibility to convey a heavier load cverthe entire length of the road than can be dragged upon the steep ascents.Hence,the folly of pursu- |ing a pernicious course in the first stage of operations on a Plank Road,seeing that an easy ascent perinits the passage of much hea |vier loads than where the grade is unfavorable. |Should a few thousand dollars more be expen.|ded upona good grade,it will,inthe end,prove |the wisdom and propriety of such a course. |DRAINAGE. After a good grade,the next questionof mo- ment is complete and THOROUGH DRAINAGE. However excellent the grade,and admirably |well performed the work on a road may be,if |the drainage is in complete,muchof the utility|of the road is lost.We urge it as a subject of vital importance to drain well,whatever the |cost may be.To effect this,let the ditches on either side of the road be at least three feet |deep,and with true slopes.Outlets for the |water should be provided wherever a conven. jent one can be found.Let those outlets have |as much descent as possible.If the ditchings and outlets be efficient,the plank will last much longer,and the road be always in better condition. Where it is difficult on any particular side of the road to obtain an outlet,run a culvert under the road,if one can be found on the other side. The object,at all times,should be to carry off every drop of rain which may fall on the road. The centre of the road shuuld be thrown up at least (wenty.two inches—the “cross section,” will exhibit a perfect Cross Section of Plank Roads.Throw away the sods;let no earth be used but what will afford a firm and solid foundation when it has settled.Let the right side of the road,coming into town, |be selected as the side for planking.—The face_ot the road,between the ditches,should be twenty feet wide,eight feet for the plank and twelve teet for the earth track.When the |road is evenly thrown up,let it then be rolled |with a beavy roller.This can be made by taking a log three feet or so in thickness,cut it six or eight feet in length,peel the bark off, |and make it tolerably round; |holes,two inches in diameter,in the ends of |formof the road. out a pair of stout fils,make two pins of dog. wood,or ofan equally hard wood,leaving heads to the pins,bore a hole in eachof the fils and |mortice a cross har into the fils two feet from the holes,afier driving the pins in the centre | holes,a team may be attached to the fils,or |what is better,saw them so as to leave them but three feet in length,and bitch your team to the middle of the cross bar.After a thor. ough rolling,if any place requires more earth, ‘let it be supplied.If sleepers are used,let the trenches for them be four and a half feet apart,| and the sleeper let it in so asto allow the planktotouchtheearth.A tendency is now manri- |fested to set the use ofsleepers aside entirely,for | the reason that on sclid ground they are of no use,if any fastening can be used to keep the |planks in place without them;and in wet and mucky soils the sleepers commonly used are a positive injury,from the vibration caused by passing teams.‘This vibration causes a chur. ning of the wet soil,which is soon washed away from under the sleeper,and causing a depression in the road.[t is not depth ofslee. per that is needed—it is width for *bearing.”| |Sleepers have only been useful for keeping| the road in shape while it was settling;they add at least $400 additional cost to the mile, without any adequate utility sufficient to war- rant their use where they can be dispensed with.In wet cor soft places,if the draining |has been properly attended to,we would recom. |mend the use of a cheap kind of boards,say |winding edge boards from nine to fifteen inches|wide and one to one and a balf inches thick. |Weprefer those from the fact that they will never vibrate in the ground,and not having the depth to settle that a sleeper has,they there- |fore allow the planking at all times to lay firm. |ly bedded in the soil. |Eight feet bas uniformly been deemeda suf. |ficient width for roads in the eastern States. We think it a matter of doubt whether our hea- then bore two| the log,as nearthe centre as possible;hew | that no skill is required to construct plank roads,Wwe anticipate much dissatisfaction in manysectionsfromtheill-advised attempts ofpersonstoconstructsuchroadswithoutapropercon-ception of their requirements.We are sorry toseeaSenatorinourLegislature,in a report,otherwise able,setting forth this idea.To secure a good:roag sheuld be the aim ofallinterested,and the chief requisite in a PlankRoadbeingagoodandwelldrainedfoundation importance of this undertaking,.and endeavortomakehiswork'a monument of skill and |judgment,rather than a clumsy thing for sen-sible men to laugh at.:4ItshouldbealwaysunderstoedthattheJoa-ded team keeps the road,and where two loadedteamsmeet,the team going out dgom town istheonlyonethatcanturnoff:the track.Tpeplankedpartofaroadshouldinclinethreejn-ches in the entire width of the planking.NocircumstanceswilljustifylayingaplankroadInthecentreoftheroadway—first,becauseinthateventtheplankwouldbelevelonthetop.Whereas,it is of the utmost importancetohaveaslanttoleadoffthewater—and se-condly,in wet weather especially,the onewheelrunningoffontheearthtrack,finds lessresistancetocuttingthantheother,consequent. ly,the weight of the load being thrown on that wheel,must necessarily increase the weight of the draft,and svon cause the earth track torutupandneedrepairs.A double track is rarely required on any rout.Actual experience has demonstrated that any arrangement in thebuildingofaplankroad,whereby the earth settles away from the plank,allowing confined air to exist underneath,is fatal tothe durability ofa road.Ifthe plank is well bedded in thesoil,the period at which we may safely set down the duration of a Plank Road is,if of pine or other soft timber,eight years ;oak,it is thought,will last two or three years longer. The wear,by abrasion,is calculated at one. fourth of an inch yearly,and the plank will last till worn down to one and a quarter inches. The plan is adopted in many places,of turning (he plank over,after two or three years wear. A slight covering of soil is useful on the plank.ing,and effectually avoids the dangers sugges- ted,of slippling of the animal.In speaking of single and double tracks,Mr.Geddes,the dis- tinguished New York Engineer,observes :— **Great speculative objection was made in the start to but one track;but we have now the entire community with us,in deciding that,on all ordinary roads,one track is fully sufficient. The reason is this;the travel in wet weather is entirely on the plank,except the turning out of the the light teams ;but they seek the plank again as soon as they get around the team met or overtaken,so that the turn-out track is not cut with any continuous lengthwise ruts,and perhaps the wheels of not one team in a hun- dred turn-outs will strike the exact curve of another;consequently in our experience,our turn out track being well graded,passing the water easily and rapidly from its surface,re- mains perfectly bard and smooth.”In concluding,we think,that we have,in general terms,shown the advantages of Plank Roads,and believe that we have shown from reliable data : 1.That Plank Roads are more easily and cheaply constructed than Railroads.2.‘That they are more easily kept in repair, are less perishable,and yield larger and more certain returns than Railroads to the stockhbold- ers.3.That produce can be conveyed over them, |at least twenty-five per cent.cheaper,and with no greater loss of time,than on a Railroad.4,That they are better able to accommo. date the country at large,because they can be carried to almost every man’s door. 5.That from the material and power used, |they are peculiarly adapted to our Western and |Southern States. |6,That they create markets at home wher. |ever they reach,adding to local wealth and pop. ‘ulation;and,generally,that they are better |adapted toan agricultural country,from the fact |that they can be constructed and kept in repair |easily,and that farmers and planters can own |and manage them 80 as to make the transient ‘travel pay the expenses of carrying their own |produce to market,and also to return a hand. |some dividend besides. Now,in viewof these facts and suggestions, |it must readily occur to every farmer,within a |reasonable distanceofthe line ofa Plank Road, ‘that he can better afford to take stock in such la company than any other of our industrial |classes,because he can more cheaply pay for his shares—by working them out on the road. Every head ofa family,with his teams,scrapers, shovels,and other implements which are al- ways at hand in the cultivation,&c.,of his farm, could,during those leisure times which every one occasionally enjoys,work out from one to a dozen shares,according to his force and prox- imity to the road,without any serious diversion of his attention from his regular vocation,or perceptive detrimentto his crops.In fine,to all classes of farmers,no scheme was ever de. vised that afforded so rich an assurance of im. mediate and positive benefits to them,as the |construction of plank roads in the neighborhood of their farms. It is vitally important,also,to the business man in towns and cities ;it effectually removes the embargo that frequently,for months,shuts out the country from the city by reason of bad roads. Betsy Proctor hug herself at the Poor House in this place on Thursday morning last. There was an incident in the history of the life of this woman worthy of record which comes to us authentically sustained.She had been blind forten years,and became so,we learn, under the following circumstances:Whena married woman,her husband charged her with inconstancy to the marriage vow.She em phatically denied it,and upon ber knees pray- —every engineer should,therefore,feel the4 SALISBURY,N.C.,THURSDAY,OCTOBER 30,1851. From the Florida Republican. 'Sr.Aueusring,Oct.11,1851.The trial of the case of the Pampero,for alleged violation of the revenue andneutralitylaws,commenced on the 6th.+that day the Court merely organized.The taking of testimony was begun onBriday.The first witness examined wasJobnKing’a native of Ireland,one of themenattachedtotheexpedition;who de-parted from New Orleans in the Pampe-ro,and arrived with said vessel at Cuba,Syt being taken sick on the voyage andtherébydisabledhedidpotland,but re-turned with the Pampero to Jacksonville.Ip the latter town King lay some weeksatthepointofdeath.He arrived in averydestitutecondition,though his wantsweresuppliedbythecharityofladiesofJacksonville.His testimony before theCourtisveryfull,and it is thought aloneampletoprovetheviolationofthelaws.He describes the passage of the steamer,her arrival at Cuba,and identification of the vessel in question as the one engagedintheexpedition.King’s evidence occu-pied the whole of Friday. To-day Col.H.T.Titus,also of the ex- pedition,was called.His evidence as to the reinforcement from Jacksonville and Georgia,and the departure of the Pampe- ro from the former place,is full and con- clusive.J.C.Hemming and Capt.Thomp- son,of Jacksonville,occupied the latter part of to-day in giving evidence,which was brief but to the same point.The Court adjourned over to Monday,when testimony will be resumed.It is under- stood that the argument of the case will be postponed to another sitting of the Court. The claim of Mr.Seguir to the Pampe- ro is considered hopeless,and there is no very active sympathy in his behalf.— Though the fact of the testimony against him being mainly from those engaged with him in the Cuba expedition,and that as it is alleged his all of this world’s goods consists in the property of said vessel,andthatadecisionagainsthimwillstriphim while others have retained a share of the Cuba effects,may independent of any other consideration awaken some public interest in his behalf. Maj.B.A.Putnam,of this place,and McQueen McIntosh,Esq.,of Jacksonville,are the present counsel for Mr.Seguir.— G.W.Call,Esq.,Dist.Attorney for theUs: Some fifteen witnesses are subp@naed —citizens of Jacksonville,persons attach- ed to the Cuba expedition,and others.— A commission has been forwarded to New York to take the deposition of Lieut.Van Vechten;although the testimonyof King renders it almost superfluous. The ancient city is favored with the presence of an English Countess,who takes up her abode in Florida the more early to secure a divorce from a somewhat antiquated husband,the lady herself being in the bloom and beauty of early woman- hood.Her object requiring a sojourn here for a certain period;we understand that in the course of the winter a bevyof dis- tinguished friends are expected from Can- adain a yacht!What a time for the gallantry and hospitality of the Agustin- ians to display itself.A company of Can- adians,with a British yacht,paying a vis- it away down ‘in Florida to an English Countess!What a chance for a Yankee yacht to run a race down here,to beat the visiting craft (if politeness did not forbid it,)just as a Yankee yacht a few weeks ago beat a Britisher in a famous race at Cowes,England.C.D. CUTTINGS. Now is the time to put in cuttings;al- most every tree or shrup will grow from a cutting,if proper care and attention be given them.We have grown pear,ap- ples,peaches and cherries from cuttings, and nearly every variety of flowering bush grow from cuttings planted in October.— The soil for cuttings should be mellow and rich,rich in vegetable matter,and as cool as possible.The great advantageof Oc. tober planting,is in the roots forming in the fall and winter thereby giving the plant a vigorous start in the spring,ena- bling.it to brave the beat of summer.— Cuttings should be p in the groundd horizontally,with buat Ne buds above the ‘surtace,and the butt end:of the cutting should always rest against the solid earth ; the roots are surer to radiate from the base,and once having taken hold,will be likely to live.Lovers of fruits and flow- ers,try cuttings in October.—Soilof the South. FRUIT SEEDS. Such as apple,pear,plam.peach,grape, &c.,should now be planted.If they are kept out of the ground until spring,ten to one they never vegetate at all.Nats should also now be planted.In sections of country where nuts do not abound,it is very easy to stock the country with them; just plant the seeds this month.Where ‘Tail timber is scarce,plant the Chestnut, |do not live to eat the fruit or‘and if you ’, it the rails,some one will come after |spl South America.Superiority as to size,flavor.&c,.was claimed for it over allotherkinds.We suggested that it waspropablytheWestIndiayam,whichgrowsinmostcountries,and is frequentlymetwithinthevegetablemarkethere.—This has brought a note from an esteem-ed correspondent,who knows somethingofthisnewvariety,and he intimates thatweshallsoonhaveanopportunityour-selves of judging of its merits.“The factis,”he says,“the root is different in growthandeveryquality,from every one wehavehere,and I,as well as many whohavetastedthem,view them as entirelysuperior.They are either in shape of athickyampotato,or like a turnip;a greatproportionofthelargesizeisinthatform.For my own part,|consider them themostelegantrootonatablethat1]knowof,when prepared as the Irish potato;andtometheyseemaconnectinglinkbe.tween a fine mealy Irish potato and sweetpotato.—Mobile Herald. Maternal Influence.—During a lecture on Popular Education,recently delivered, Gov.Briggs related the following impres- sive incident: “Twelve or fifteen years ago,I left Wash- ington three or four weeks during thespring.While at home,|possessed my self of the letters of Mr.Adams’mother, and read them with exceeding interest.— I remember an expression in one of thelettersaddressedtoherson,while yet a boy twelve years of age,in Europe:says she,‘I would rather see you laid in your grave than you should grow upa profaneandgracelessboy.’ “After returning to Washington,I went over to Mr.Adams’seat one day,and said to him,‘Mr.Adams,I have found out who made you !’ “*What do you mean”’said he. “T replied,‘I have been reading the let- ters of your mother?’IfI had spoken that dear name to some little boy who had been for weeks away from his dear mother,his eye could not have flashed more brightly,or his face glowed more quickly,than did the eye and face of the venerable old man when I pronounced the name of his mother.He started up in his peculiar manner,and emphatically said. “Yes!Mr.Briggs,all that is good in me ]owe to my mother.” “Oh what a testimony was that from this venerable man to his mother,who had in his remembrance all the scenes in his manhood !“All that is good in me] owe to my mother”Mothers !—think of this when your bright-eyed little boy isaboutyou!Mothers make the first im- pression or their children,and those im-pressions will be the last to be effaced.” THE POLITENESS OF PAUL. An old poet has quaintly called Jesus ‘thefirsttruegentlementhateverbreathed.’Paul’s politeness,too,must not be overlooked,com. pounded as it wasof dignity and deference.—It appeared in the mildness of the manner inwhichhedeliveredhismoststartlingandshat. tering messages,both to Jews and heathens; in his graceful salutations;in his winning re-proofs—the excellent oil which did not break the head;in the delicacyof his allusions to his own claims and services;and,above all,in the calm,self-possessed,and manly attitude he assumed before the rulers of bis people and the Roman authorities.In the language of Peter and John to their juiges,there is an abrupt.ness savoring of their rude fisherman life,andfilterfortheroughechoesoftheLakeofGali- lee,than for the tribunals of power.But Paulwhileequallyboldanddecided,is far more gracious.He Jowers his thunderbolt before his adversity ere he launches it.His shaft is ‘polished,’as well as powerful.His words to King Agrippa—'I would to God that not on. ly thou,but also all that hear me this day,werebothalmostandaltogethersuchasIam,ex- cept these bonds,’are the most chivalrous ut- lerances recorded in history.An angel could not bend more gracefully,or assume an alti-tude of more exalted courtesy.—Gulfillan. The Selt-moving Carriage.—The Paris cor- respondent of the Philadelphia Bulletin,inalet. ter says: “Two years ago I described for an Ameri-can paper,the self-moving carriage of M Pro. vost.Since that time M.P.has travelled initoveragreatpartofFrancevisitingTours, Saumers,Orleans,Chartres,Havre,and other places.—He is now in Paris on his way to Bordeaux.He travelr with ease to himself,| for the force is not the mascular strength ap.| plied to pedals or cranks,but the weight of his| person which puts in movement the machinery on much the same principle with the weight of acluck.On ordinary roads (they are maca.- damized in France,)M.Provost travels fromsixtytoeightymilesaday.The carriage is about six feet by three and the machinery not visible from the outside.” “All Flesh is Grass.”—Bisbop Hughes in a sermon to his parishioners,repeated the quo- tation that “all flesh is grass.”The season was Lent,and a few days afterwards he en- countered Terence O’Collins,who appeared to have something on his mind.‘The top of the mornin’to yer riverence,”said Terence, “did I fairly underetand your riverence to say all flesh is grass,last Sunday?”‘To be sure you did,”replied the Bishop,“and you’re a Ee= YANKEE FORETHOURT.An acquaintance of ours was up in Con-necticut one day last winter,to visit afriend,who was.a manufacturer.Theshaftofthemanufacturer’s water-wheelhadbeenbrokenthatafternoon,under thegreataccumulationofice,and he was ingreattrouble,for he had searched long tofindasuitablestick,and he knew notwheretofindanother.If he could find_|One,it would be green and unfit for use.Very éarly in the morning,while the dayhadscarcelydawned,the manofacturerandhisguestwereatthemill,to see whatshouldbedone.A farmer,who lived two or three milesoff,was already looking on.As the man-ufacturer looked painfully at his catastro-phe:*Bad break that,Mr.,”said the far.mer. ‘Yes,very bad,’said the manufactar-er.*Can’t mend that stick,can you?’saidthefarmer.‘No,’said the manufacturer,‘and worstofitis,1 don’t know where to get another.’‘Well,said the farmer.‘]guess I cantellyouwhereyoucanfindone.’ ‘You can?’said the manufacturer;‘where is it 7”‘Well.’said the farmer,@ thought thatshaftwouldbreak,likely as not,sometimeorother,and I hada tree in mywoods|thought would makea stick tosuityou;and |cut it down and snakedithome,and it has been seasoning formorethanayear.So when]heard yourshaftwasbroken,I thought I’d come overandletyouknow.’ ‘You’re just the man I wanted to see,’said the manufacturer,‘if only it was lightenough.How much do you ask for thestick,if it will suit me?’*Oh,I’m sure ’twill suit ye,or I should’nta’cut it down;and about the price,Iguessyouand|can agree.It’s a nicestick,you'll see,if you’ve a mind to comeover.’It was some time before the farmerwouldsetaprice,but at last he guessedonehundreddollarswouldbeaboutright.‘I'll come over and see it after break- fast,said the manufacturer.’He didso,and told his vister afterwards,that un-der the circumstances the stick was worthfivehundreddollarstohim.Are not suchpeopleabletotakecareofthemselves?”Exchanfe paper. ‘““My Dear Mrs.Jones,”said Mrs.Brown,‘come here to my bed side,I am dying,and [wish to say a few words to you.”‘Yes Marm,”sighed Mrs.Jones. “Well Mrs.Jones,”ejaculated Mrs.Brown, ‘you and I have had a good many tiffs in ourdays,and I would now part with you in peace.Can you forgive me?’ ‘Yes,Marm,’sobbed Mrs.Jones,‘indeed,indeed I can.’ ‘Am I forgiven,’ejaculated Mrs.Brown. ‘Yes marm,’responded Mrs.Jones with diffi- culty,in consequenceof the intensity of her an- guish,and then she attempted to weep her way out of the dying woman’s room. ‘Stop a moment,my dear Mrs.Jones,’saidtheexpiringMrs.Brown ‘I’ve another word ortwotosay.I wish to have it understood that ifI get well,every thing goes back,and we stand on the same old ground.’ ‘What business was your father’said an imperious Colonel to a modest looking Lieutanant. ‘A tobacconist sir.’ *What a pity he did not make you one.‘Possibly,sir,and now will you allow me to ask you a question 7” ‘Certainly.What is it.’ ‘What was your father 7’ ‘A gentleman sir.’‘Well then,all 1 have to say is,that it’s a deuced pity he didn’make you one.’ ‘It is needless to remark that the Colo- nel turned tothe right—and left. A Persecuted Man.—A Nothern paper tells the following good one: Hamilton of the Maryville Tribune,wastravellinginthecars,the other day from Bellefontaine to Kenton,when he fell ia with a decided character.He was toler- ably drunk.Let Hamilton tell the rest: He said he lived in Urbana;that the Methodists had a great revival there a year or more ago,and that more than a hundred were converted;that he had been converted some years before,and had joined the church.We asked him if he still belonged to it. “No,”said he,“they turned me out for the most frivolous thing in the world; if I'd know’d they’d a turned me oat for sucha little thing as that,I'd never join- ed.” Said we,“What did you do 2” “O nothing—only I bet my horse out- ran another fellows;I won the money, and then got drunk,and had two fights. That's all.And they turned me oat for that !” Fine dressing and dexterous dancing, remarks a shrewd observer,when not“subsidiary to the effect of personal beau- ty and character,are monstrous,Every girl who dances gracefully should,in speaking,show that she is of graceful and winning nature.If she does—if she is silly and simpers —you instinctively feel that her movement is artificial;that it is the gift of the dancing school not a grace of nature;you have been deceived, and it is never again a pleasure to watch that dancing.” A coblerhasjust located himself at Spalding, and attracts attention with the following address outside his shop :“Surgery performed upon old boots and shoes, by adding of feet,making good the legs,biod- ing the broken,healing the wounded,altering the constitution,and supporting the body with new soles.Nocure,no pay.Advice grattis on the most desperate cases.”—London Week- ly News.|—Soil of the South.heretic if you doubt it.”‘Ob not the bit dol doubt any thing your riverence says,”said the wily Terence ;“but if your riverence plaze,I wish to know whether in this Lent time I could not be afier having a small piece of bafe by way of a salad 1”—Sharpe’s Mag. ed God to strike ber blind,if true.Immedi-|you that wil ately after sh t blind.She died by the olenee of her ov THE NEW SWEET POTATO.violence of her own hands,distracted by the constant apprehension of the iurther judgments We made reference the other day to new variety of the sweet potato,believedofHeaven.Her appearance in death indica- to have been brought from some part of vy western and southern teams of six horses or mules,and frequently six yoke of cattle,will find this width a sufficient one,particularly when they have to get on the planking after having had to turn off.Nine feet,might we think,answer the purpose.From the preva- lent opinion entertained by people at large, esistance,good yel- offer a resisiance of in seventy-three. of one in twenty- leiermine the weightromgravitybeingin angle of inclination, Cincrnwatt.October 15.—A fire broke out in the Orphan Asylum in this:city last evening,and the whole building was consumed. ted a higher destiny than awaited her in this world.—Fred.News, by diplomacy—when we saw we must fight to save ourselves—from being struck off the |earth as &mation—when the house of Austria, hy its endless acts of injustice and cruelty,and STATES.i by cabling in the aid of a foreign power,had K Siok le of the |extinguished ia the hearts of the Hungartan drees ol Be oe ae .|people every spark of affection—then,and then tates bas been transmitted to this)Coy afer so much patience,the nation resol- iE PEOPLE OF THE UNITED querable--they performed miracles of valor.injunctions,and were united,they were uncon- It is introduced with a note from Ma.| man,of Washington,to the following | re month of February last,Gov.L. ate of Hungary,sent me a proclama- he Hungarian leader Louis Kossuth, {to the people of these United States, gto cause the same to be poblished | posit its original,wrilten in the Mag.| sage,in the archives of Congress. that valuable document came to my negotiation was pending,having ffor | t the liberation of Kossuth from the| ved to declare its absolute independence.Then spoke the National Assembly,the words which had long been uttered by every patriotic tongue : |“Francis Joseph!thou beardless young Nero !

He then eloquently acknowledges the debt of gratitude the people of Hungary owe to Eng. land and the United States : Among the nations of the world there are two which demand our gratitude and affection. England,no less powerful than she is free and glorious,supported us by her sympathy,and by the approving voice of her noblest sons and the millions of her people.And that chosen land of freedom beyond the ocean—the all pow. erful people of the United States,with their liberal government—inspired us with hope, and gave us courage by their deep interest in our cause and sufferings and by their condem- nation of our executioners. ‘The President of the United States,whom ‘That the inalienable rights sanction- thousand years,and by tho constitution atherland,should be guarantied by a and responsible administration. id.That every inhabitant of my coun- lout regarding language or religion,| e Tree and equal befure the law—all having the same privileges and protec: n the law.‘That the people of the Austrian that acknowledged the same person as r whom we Hungarians recognize as nd the same law of succession,should tored their ancient constitutional rights,| n they had been unjustly despoiled, fio suit their wants aud the spirit of|tria and Russia had beenunjust,tyrannical,and| ren speaks of the treachery of Austria: King and royal family granted these 3,appealing to the sanctily of their oaths arantee of their fulfilment ;and I,weak lf,but strong through the confidence of urymen and the noble sympathyofthe n people,proclaimed everywhere amidst ing storm of the revolution,‘that the | f Austria should stand,for by the bles- fthe Almighty,it had begun to move in ut.direction,and would be just to the ».Tt stood and stood too,at a time, whatever might have been the fate of ryy the revolutionary tempest under my yn would have been to antiquated and s dynasty,like chaff before the winds of ‘only preserved the house of Austria, ced in ita hands the materials of a long yrions future—the foundation of an inde.| sla power in the affection of thirty two of people.3 assistance of my own heroic Hungary,| alone was able to defend them against aults of the world.1 afforded them the | $opportunity—more glorious than had| een presented before—of establishing | regnable barrier to protect freedom,civ.| u,and progress against the Cossack | which now threatens Europe.‘To at.| is honor,this glory,one thing only was ary—that they should remain faithful to aths.But when was itthat Austria was acherous?We look ‘n vain for as muchasisfoundamongrobbersintheHaps.- ily. the very day they signed the grant of noderate demands of the Hungarian peo- d solemnly swore before God and the \o maintain them,they secretly resolved inned the most cruel conspiracy against ‘hey determined to break their oaths,toethelandwithinsurrection,conflagra- 1d blood,that,feeble and exhausted un. )burden of a thousand miseries,Hun- ight be struck [rom the roll of living na. adds in this connection: desired an honorable peace,and we were -to submit to any reasonable terms. any times tendered the olive branch,— sked the constitutional governments.of >to interpose.They heard us not.The y imperial family,forgetting that they nt treat with rebels.’Aye,more;they eur embassadors into prison,and one of| the noblest of Hungary's sons—ihey|ly and impiously murdered.Still we 2d to tear asunder furever the bonds that us.Ten months we fought,and foughtyusly,in defence ;and it was only when attempt to bring about an honorable jailed—when Francis Juseph,who was pur king,dared in his manifesto on the March,1849,to utter the curse that. zary should exist no longer’’—when there| )hope of arresting the Russian invasion I tendered them the fideli.| |the confidenceof a free people had elevated to ||to|to Congress,announced that the |ernment would have been the firs the independance of Hungary.Andthe sena.- ‘tors and representatives in Congress marked the destroyers of my country’s liberty with the stigma of ignominy,and expressed with indig- 'nant feelings,their contempt for the conduct of |Austria,and their wish to break the diplomatic intercourse with such a government.‘They |summoned the despots before the judgment-seat of humanity;they proclaimed that the world |would condemn them ;they declared that Aus- American gov- t to recognise barbarous,and deserved to be reprobated by |;mankind,while Hungary was worthy of uni- versal sympathy. |were able to reach the shores of the New WorldwerereceivedbythepeopleandgovernmentoftheUnitedStatesinthemostgenerousman- |ner—yes,like brothers.With one hand they hurled anathemas at the despots,and with the |other welcomed the humble exiles to partake of that glorious American liberty,more to be valued than the glitter of crowns.Our hearts |are filled with emotions to see how this great |nation extends its sympathy and aid to every |Hungarian who is so fortunate as to arrive in |America.‘The sympathetic declaration of such |a people,under such circumstances,with simi- |lar sentiments in England is not a mere sigh |which the wind blows away,but is prophetic |of the future.What a blessed sight to see |whole nations elevated by such sentiments !

He conciudes his address as follows : Citizens of America!to you I declare hon. estly that my aim in the federation of Hungary with the smaller nations,was to secure the na. tionality and independenceof each,andthe free.dom of all;and had anything been wanting which could have been justly granted to any or all of the racesin Hungary,the Magyars had only toknow it,and it would have been perform. ed with readiness ;fur freedom and not power was their desire. Finally,I declare that,by the declaration of Independence by which I was elected Govern. or of Hungary,I protest,solong as the people do not by their free will release me from that office,that no one can legally control the affairsolgovernmentbutmyself.This protestation is not made inafeeling of vanity or desire to be conspicuous,but from respect to the inherent rights of my countrymen.I strove not for pow- er.The brilliancy ofa crown would not seduce me.The final aim of my lite,after having lib- erated my dear Hungary,was to end my days as a private citizen and an humble farmer. My country,in the hour of danger,called upon me to assist in the struggle for freedom. I responded to its call.Others,doubtless,were more able,who could have won more fame,but I will yield to none in the purity of my motives. Perhaps it was confidence in my ardent patriot- ism and honesty of purpose which induced the people to give me the power.They believed|freedom would be safe in my hands.I felt my |weakness and told them I could not promise lib-erty unless they were united as one man,andwouldlayasideallpersonal,all sectional inter-est.I foretold that,ifthe nation was divided, The Hungarians,more fortunate than I,who | | it would fall.As long as they fullowed my judge the merits of our cause by a temporary defeat,but will recognise Governor Ujhazi and his companions with the accustomed kindness.

Worcester,according to Ruskins,is a |great place for screws and mechinery,and every sort of ism finds there an entity and habitation.Well,the married and single women had a Convention there the other day,and appointed a President,Secreta- ries,gc.,and regularly organized for bus- iness.Its our private opinion that there were more old maids,disappointed artful dodgers,who were mad with the men for not proposing,in that convention than so- ber married dames.Howbeit,the assem- \bled,and some of the resolutions and ad- |dresses are funny things—here is one: |“That we deny the right of any portion |of the species to decide for another por- ‘tion,or of any individual to decide for an. |other individual,what is and waat is not ‘their ‘proper sphere;that the proper |sphere for all human beings is the lar- gest and highest to which they are able to attain;what this is,cannot be ascer- |woman,therefore,ought to choose for her- ‘self what sphere she will fill,what educa- ‘tion she will seek,and what employment ‘she will follow;and not be held bound to accept,in submission,the rights,the -education,and the sphere which man |thinks proper to allow her.” |We always thought women,the charm., /ing creatures,were angels in disguise ‘not “individuals,”but it seems we were |mistaken.As regards the “proper spere” |&c.,tastes may differ;some of these la- dy reformers may reserve to themselves the privilege of choosing the profession most agreeable to their inclination,may select an employment,possibly stage dri- _ving,brick laying,or the like,may usurp the privilege of wearing pantaloons and voting at the popular elections;all these are claimed as rights but then the question arises if these rights are allowed,what becomes of alf the household duties,and who are to take care of the babies.Now, this is a very progressive age,and one novelty succeeds another in the onward dash of improvement with lightning speed. "yet it seems to us,ignorant as we are of these experiences,that the “proper sphere” of woman is at home—out of sight,that the very acceptanceof the position which man in this era of civilization and refine- ment assigns to her,constitutes a new and higher claim upon his affections.— | |man for a wife,certes not the ‘“venera- |ble”or ourself.No!no!let the women 'mind their own business,around their own hearth fires;the circle is large e- nough for happiness;let them see that all the resources of domestic joy are kept bright for the anticipative future,and the serene routine naturally incident wedded | bliss is not disturbed by unseemly jars or misunderstandings;these with the ordi- nary courtesies and frendships of life will make the time pass away,but if you please no voting,—no trowsers,—they are our prerogatives and we want to ‘wear them.—By the bye speaking of trowsers, observing a well dressed friend promen- ading the streets with evident satisfac- tion,we inquired of him,the origin of his well fitting suit,and be remarked they were from Scorr &Batpwiy,who keep,an extensive stock always on hand in Mar-| ‘the loftiest station in the world,in his message |tained without complete liberty of choice;| Who wants a strong minded voting wo-| suspicious circumstances,such as that a long knife’and someGloibinig Kw to belong to one of them,cannot be found.— McNabb wasderwasrobbery,as Mr.bhis pock-known to have had about $100 in et,which has not been found.

AGITATING SCENE IN CHURCH. Our correspondent at Hanover,N.H. informs us that last sabbath,(Oct.12th) at the morning service at the college church at Dartmouth College,as the cler- gyman had proceededa little way in his sermon,the front door was suddenly open- ed,and a person in night clothes entered and walked rapidly up the broad aisle some distance,when he was arrested and carried out.His ghastly countenance and delirious look at once revealed the |truth—that Thomas B.Mack,of the Sen- ior Class,from Gilmantown,sick of ty- phoid fever,had escaped from his sick chamber,in the momentary absence of his attendants,and was on his way to his ac- customed seat in the church.The agi- tation of the audience may easily be con- ceived.Order,however,was restored, and the services were finished in the usual course.The young man died on Monday night,at 11 o’clock,having been sick but five days.—Boston Traveller. I see a light.—I’m almost Home.—The following is related ofa young girl,whose journey of life was near its end. About her chamber glided gently the loved forms of her parents,and an only sister.She silently noted their movements with a mild expression of her dying eye, turning it from side ta side,Arrested by her peculiar look,so expressive of afflic- tion and patient suffering,they paused to look upon her whom they only saw now but dimly through their tears,and so soon should see no more. A feeble effort to speak,a quivering voiceless movement of the lips,drew close- ly around the loving heartsof the sorrow- ing circle. Mother,father,sister,all came close to her side.A playful smile lit up her coyn- tenance.She laid her little pulseless hand within her mother’s palm,then closed her eyelids to the light of earth,and sank away.The cold damp airofdeath’s sha- dowy valley seemed circling over her.— Slowly sinking down,she glided towards that rivers shore which like a narrow stream,divides the spirit-land from ours. But see!the quivering lips essay to speak ? “Mother !”O!how each heart throbbed now,and then each pulse stood still.— They listen.“Mother!”the dying girl breathes forth—I—see—a light—I’m al- most home !” Enjoyment of Life.—Two wealthy gen- tlemen were lately conversing in regard to the period where they had best enjoyed themselves.“I will tell you,”says one, ‘‘when I most enjoyed life.Soon after I was twenty one,I worked for Mr.; laying stone wall,at twenty cents per day.” “Well,”replied the other,“that does notdiffermuchfrommyexperience.When I was twenty,I hired myself out at seven dollars a month.I have never enjoyed myself better since.”The experience of these two individuals teaches,first,that one’s happiness does not depend on the amount of his gains and station he occu- pies;second,that very small beginnings, with industry and prudence,may secure wealth. A Trur Lapy.—The Louisville Courier of the 8th instant says— The papers through the country are noticing with favor the verdict of ten thousand dollars lately recovered in Henry county,in this State, in favor ofa young lady,in an actionof slander, as a strong indication of the high moral tone of the community where the cause was tried. It may be proper to add that,so soon as the verdict was rendered,the fair Kentucky plain. tiff,scorning to receive the money of the de. fendant—her only object being the vindication of her name from the caluminous aspersions of |the defendant—directed her counsel]to enter a remittitur for the amount of the verdict,save what would be sufficient to compensate them for their services.—Upon consultation they consented to be satisfied with five hundred dol- lars,and in accordance with the instructions of their client,released the defendant from the payment of the nine thousand five hundred dol- lars. SHARP UPON THEM. The Albany Register is sharp upon the gen- try who lately created the riots at the north,in opposition to the Fugitive Slave Law.That paper “talks like a book,”as follows:Ifthe shy and vengeful murderer,if the stealthy thief and midnight robber,if the lurking incendiary who fires his neighbor’s dwelling are guilty otgreatcrimes,and would be held up to execra- tion and punishment as warning to others,much more ought those still greater felons to be,who combine together to subvert the government, ket Street.—Wil.Herald.| SHOCKING MURDER.| The Rev.Robert McNabb,of Carthage,| Moore county,N.C.was cruelly murder-| ed on Friday night last,in his own yard. We learn verbally.that a neighbor sat) with him till 9 o’clock in the evening,af-| ter which Mr.McNabb took his pipe and | went into the garden to smoke before re-| tiring forthe night.He did not return, and his body was not found till the follow-, ing morning at 10 o’clock,when,by fol-| lowing upthe marks of blood from the |garden,it was discovered in the woods.| some 250 yards distant,horribly gashed, the head nearly severed from the body,| with deep wounds in the side.—Three of| his own negroes were arrested,of whom | two men are nowinjail,without any pos-| itive testimony against them;but some| and put down all order by forcible resistance to laws.‘The latter class of culprits have in. jured society vastly more than the former,and none the less because they profess to act in the name of religion and humanity. The Syracuse Slave Rescues.—The evi- dence on the part of the Government a- gainst the Syracuse slave rescues having been closed on Saturday,Judge Conklin yesterday beld them to bail for appear- ance at the next term of Court at Buffalo, on the 2d Tuesday in November.The offence charged is misdemeanor,not trea- son.More arrests are expected to be made.—National Intelligencer.

(>The Hon.Wa.A.Granam who has been up the country to look after matte pertaining to the estate of the late J ames Graham,his only brother,in company with his Lady,arrived at the Rowan House in this place,on Tuesday evening last.Mr. Graham looks well,and says his health has improved since he left Washington.

In consequence of Mr.Chas.Fisher de- clining bis election as a member of the Board,in the first instance,and Dr.White- head in the second,there has been a va- cancy in the North Wardup to this time. After passing over several items of a more ordinary character,the Intendant of Po- lice adverted to the fact of this vacancy, and expressed a desire to have it filled. The names of several persons were men- tioned,but Samuel Reeves,jr.,being on that Ward and nominated by the Inten- dant,was elected.He was sent for im- mediately ;and having qualified by taking an oath to support the Constitution of the United States (7)andthe Charter and laws of the Town ofSalisbury,entered upon the discharge of his duties at once. After this,the Board was called upon by the Intendant to vote upon the applica- tion of David Barringer for a recommend- ation to the Court,for a license to retail ardent spirits at the Mansion Hotel.Vote —ayes,H.L.Robards,Wm.Overman, Samuel Reeves,3.Nays,T.T.Maxwell, J.J.Bruner,2.The applicant was suc- cessful. Col.Robards then made application for himself.He stated that he had been re- fused a recommendation in the Spring, and he thought,as it had been granted to Barringer,he ought to have it;and re- quested that it might take effect backwards and for:vards—fore and aft,”as the sail- or says;and his application was accord- ingly framed in that way.This was warmly seconded by Wm.Overman.— Whereupon the votebeing taken resulted as follows:Ayes—Wm.Overman,Sam’I. Reeves,jr.2.Nays—T.T.Maxwell.J. J.Braner,2.The Intendant declared the result of the vote to be in favor of the ap- plicant.But on being reminded that with- out his (the Intendant’s)vote it wasa Lie, Col.Robards volunteered to vote for his own application,and thus relieved the In- tendant of a responsibility which he ex- pressed a wish to avoid. et two papers,remarking,*well,here are two more which were handed to me just before coming in to the Hall,—Daniel Shaver and Anthony Bencini.They were seconded by Samuel Reeves,jr.,and the following vote was taken upon them: Ayes—H.L.Robards,Sam’l.Reeves,jr. 2.Nays,T.T.Maxwell,J.J.Bruner and Wm.Overman,3.So these applications were lost.. Many would like to know upon what principle of justice these persons were re- fused.There have been grog-shops atthe stands occupied by Shaver and Bencini for years past.Why give David Barringer and H.L.Robards a monopolyof this bu- siness?Is it any less mischievous in their hands than in the hands of the former— any less to be dreaded?Shaver and Ben- customers,have to regret that they were not also Commissioners,for then they could and their claims which the more fortun- ate applicants secured to themselves by their own votes.

Mr.George M.Everhart has been elected by the Board of Trustees asthe Principal.Mr.Everhart has had the experience of nearly seven years as Teacher— four years as ihe Principal of an Academy,and three as an instructor in one of the most popular colleges in the South.Marked success has attended his efforts in each of these departments.Moreover,if scholarship and untiring energy and a devotion to his profession, can recommend him to our people,he surely will re- ceive their entire confidence.Several competent as- sistants will aid him,and such other means will be em- ployed that shall raise the School at once to a position of superior usefulness. The Edifice is a very large and elegant brick build- ing. Germanton is remarkable for its healthy location, and the morality of its citizens.Board can be obtain ed in our best families at the low price of $6 per month.

HERE is a fair prospect of a Company of North- ern Mechanics and Manufacturers settling on the Eagle or South Engle Tract.The Sonth Eagle Tract is adjoining the Eagle,on both of which is a splendid , water power of great force.I havea beautiful piece of Land in the South Eagle Tract which I propose to lay off in small lots of one fourth of an acre each,for the ac- commodation of Merchants,Doctors,and Mechanics. All such persons would do well to give this rising place due attention. “There is a tide in the affairs of men Which,taken at its flood, Leads on to”happiness and wealth. Here isa chance.Capitalists would also do well to look this way.I needa little help to carry on more suc- cessfully,the enterprises in which I am engaged and on which I propose to enter.I am steadily progressing, however,though slowly,with my original schemes,to wit:the erection of Factories for spinning cotton and wool,and for calico printing.But as I advance the prospect opens up,and invites to larger and more fruitful fields.This location for manufacturing purposes and for a Town,is very favorable.It is near enough to the great Central Rail Road,and ina very healthy regionof | Country.Iwill sell lots privately on the most favorable | terms to suit purchasers.The water power on the South Eagle Tract,is immense,and capable of driving almost any amount of Machinery.Early applications either for lots or an interest in the present or proposed enterprises will receive the most favorable offers. 3m4 ANDREW RAGGARLY.

When at last B.was discharged from jail, full of indignation at what he termed the cruel obstinacy of bis wife,he made no effort to see her or the children;but—after shutting him. self up a month or two in the cottage,which bad been saved,by timely attention,from being burned on the night of Jane’s escape—he de. partied,no one knew whither.He left a re proachtul letter to his wife,professing himself driven to desperation,and laying on her the blame of his future crimes.No furniture of any value was found in the house,the greater part having been disposed of to procure food and—liquor. Two years after this occurrence,(I have the particulars from a friend,)a crowd was assem: bled round the jail in the little town of A murder,under the most appalling circum. stances,had been committed in the neighbor. been arrested,and,afier strict examination, committed for trial.Particulars that had tran. spired lefi no doubtof bis guilt on the minds of crations that the multitude followed the suspect. ed felon to.prisun.When he disappeared from their sight within the gloomy walls,the popular rage broke out in groans and murmurs. One woman,young and interesting in appear. ance,who had listened with undisguised eager- | ness to a knot of idlers discussing the case, walkedaway when they ended their conference,| and,presenting herself at the door of the mag.| istrate who had conducted the examination,ask.| ed leave ty speak with him.It was the wife of| B.She had seen her husband led to jail,load-| ed with the most terrible suspicions,and she | came to have ber worst fears allayed or con-| tirmed.‘The magistrate soothed ber by assur. ing her that the evidence against B.,though | strong,was only circumstancial,and by no) means absolutely proved his guilt.It was im.| possible to say what might be the event ofthe trial;but there was ground for hope.Poor Jane clung to this hope:*Oh,sir,”sobbed she,| ‘if he is guilty,and must die,itis |who have murdered him!I deserted him,when all the world cast nim out! When the unhappy wife returned home,it | was to give way to the bitter anguish of re. morse—to weep and sob all night as if her heart would break.‘How have L been able to kneel night and morning to ask pardon of God,’she cried to herself,‘whenI refuse my aid to save a fellow being trom destruction? And yet—these little ones,’and she hung over her sleeping children—the fair boy,with bright cheek shaded by his clustering curls ; and the sweet dark-eyed girl,so like Aim be- fore excess had marred his manly beauty? Could she have brought these innocent ones into wretchedness—perhaps guilt?Had she | not done right to snatch them from ruin,even | by abandoning their father?She knelt once more,and prayed for guidance,for discernment | of the right;and her mind was calmed. Before noon the next day,the jail was again | visited by groups of idlers,gazing into the win-| dow of B’s cell,which looked upon the street.| It might be that the prisoner was maddened by their taunts and derision;he was leaping | about with frantic gestures,clapping his hands and laughing immoderately,or thrusting his face between the bars to grin defiance at his tormentors.Suddenly a woman-her face con.| cealed by a drooping bonnet and thick veil—| glided through the crowd,and,reaching up to the window,offered a parcel to the prisoner.| He grasped it eagerly,with a wistful look,but | the woman did not stay to be recognized.It. was observed,as she hastened away,that her | steps tottered,and she held down her head,| apparrently overcome by emotion.Well might | the fearfully changed countenance of the accu.| sed appal one who had known him in better| days! The parce!contained a portion of food more palitable than is usually allowed to prisoners, and asmall pocket Bible—the book B.had once prized—the gift of his dying mother.His name was written on the first page in her hand. Many times in the week,always at dusk,did the same compassionate visitor stand at the grated window,and offer food or books to the prisoner,who was evidently affected by the kind attention.He ceased his idiotic dancing |—'There,Jane,is a letter I had written you, |grow so pale,Jane. ‘taste liquor again:andI kept these, _and laughing;he answered nothing more to ‘*KEEP A CHECK UPON ALL YOUR Rowers. the upbraiding of vagrants without ;and those who looked into his window,saw him most frequently seated quietly at the table,reading, or with his head on his hand in deepthought. With thankfulness unspeakable Jane saw the change;but her joy was dashed with sadness, when on one ofher visits the prisoner besought her,with piteous entreaty,to bring him a bot. tle of brandy. It now occurred to the wife to do whaf she had never dared when B.was at home—to force on his perusal some tracts containing the most awful warnings against intemperance, and encouragements to the victim to struggle for recovery.He had no other books to be. guile the time ;he could not now,as formerly, rail at,or punish her,even had he any suspi- cion who she was :what might ensue ifhe read them?Her effort was crowned with success. Not a week had passed,when the abject en- treaty for liquor—which had been urged night afier night—was dropped,to be renewed no more.Jane’s heart throbbed when she thought of this ;but,alas!even if he were really refor- med,would he live to prove,himself so ? ‘Thus days rolled on,and the time for the tri- al arrived.The prisoner had communicated with bis counsel ;witnesses had been sent for; the principal lawyer engaged in the prosecution had unfolded the chain of evidence by which his guilt was to be proved;the court was to open next morning.The accused had receiv- ed some of his former acquaintance during the day—and as night drew near,he was alone.On his table lay aletter he had just written. He was pacing the room,tranquil,but with a mind filled with painful thoughts.‘The jailer opened the door,announced a name,received the prisoner’s startled assent;and the next moment the long estranged husband and wife were together.B.did not stir;he was petri- fied by surprise ;but Jane rushed to him;her arms were round his neck,and she wept aloud. Her husband was moved,but struggled appar. ently with his pride:he unclasped her arms, stepped backalittle,and looked earnestly at her. Sad indeed the contrast between the two: the man almost spectral in aspect,haggard, wan,emaciated—not even the shadow of his former self;the woman blooming in the fresh- ness of almost maiden beauty!No unhallow. ed vigils,or excess,or evil passions,had stam- ped their traces on her brow,or marred the symetry of her form;and the very purity and tenderness that shone in her expression rebu- ked the conscious sinner as loudly as if an an- gel’s tongue had proclaimed his degradation ! As he shrank back and stood thus silent,Jane stretched out her hands beseechingly—‘Oh, Walter!’she cried,‘have you not yet forgiven me 1” ‘Forgiven you,Jane?Oh,Heaven,what a wretch am L!’ ‘I was wrong,Walter,to desert you,even at the worst;but oh,say you do not bear hard thoughts toward me !’ ‘Tell me,Jane—is it you who brought me these ?’—pointing to the books. ‘Yes,Walter—torI thought you would read them now ;and ¥ She was interrupted by the sobs of her hus. band:he sank on his knees asif to thank her; but to prevent that,she knelt with him,and prayed for him in the deep emotion of her heart. When B.was sufficiently calm he asked af. ter his children.and,pointing to the table said in a better spirit,I trust,than the last.Ifit were God’s will [should live longer,I might make a better husband and father;but I dare not think of that now.’ Jane longed to ask one question,but her tongue refused to utter the words.Her hus. band seemed to read the meaning of her anx- jous look. ‘Before high Heaven,’said he,‘T declare to you that [am innocent of the crime for which I shal!be tried to-morrow !’ A shriek of joy,scarce suppressed,burst | from the wife :she clasped her hands and raised them upwards;gratitude denied her speech.| ‘Then you will live !’she gasped at length.| ‘No,Jane,I dare not hope it:and I deserve | to die.Iam guiltless of murder—but what | have [been to you and my children?What have I been these last years 7—a reckless out- cast—my own destroyer—the enemy of God !

It is not long since I heard an address of touching eloquence,on the subject of ‘Temper. ance,delivered by Walter B There was truth in every word of it,for he deeply felt what he uttered ;and it came home to many a heart,and drew tears from many an eye.He told his own history,and described himself as once the most wretched and lost among thevictimsofthatvice;and yet there had been others more lost than he,who recovered.It was this,he said,that first inspired him witb hope for himself. THE MEXICAN CAPTIVES. Since our recent publication relative to this subject,we have been permitted to copy from documents received at the De- pariment of the Interior,the following “arguments”between J.J.R.Bartlett, Esq,,the Boundary Commissioner,through John C.Cremony,interpreter,with the chief of the Apaches,concerning the two Mexican captive boys taken from them in July last,namely: Mangus Colorado—Why did you take our captives from us? Commissioner—Your captives came to us and demanded our protection. Mangus Colorado—You came to our country.You were well received by us. Your lives,your property,your animals were safe.You passed by ones,by twos, and by threes,through our country ;you went and came safe.Your starved ani- mals were always brought home to you again.Our wives,our children,and wo- men,came here and visited your houses. We were friends!We were brothers! Believing this,we came amongst you and brought our captives,relying on it that we were brothers,and that you would feel as we feel.We concealed nothing,we came not here secretly in the night.We came in open day and before your faces, and we showed our captives to you.We believed your assurances of friendship, and we trusted them.Why did youtake our captives from us? Commissioner—What we have said to you is true and reliable.We do not tell lies.The greatness and dignity of our nation forbids our doing so meanathing. What our great brother has said is true and good also.I will tell him why we took his captives from him.Four years ago we,too,were at war with Mexico.— We know that the Apaches makea dis tinction between Chihuahua and Souora, They are at peace with Chihuahua,but always fighting against Sonora.We in our war did not make that distinction.— The Mexicans,whether living in one or the other State,are all onegnation,and we fought them asa nation, we made peace with them.They are now our friends,and by the terms of the peace,we are bound to protect them.— |We told you this when we came to this place,and we requested you to cease your hostilities against Mexico.Well,time |passed,and we grew very friendly;eve- ‘ry thing went well.You came in here with your captives.Who were these cap- tives?Mexicans—the very people we told you we were bound to protect.We took them from you and sent them to Gen.Gar- cie Conde,who willset them at liberty io their own country.We mean to show you that we cannot lie.We promised protection to the Mexicans,and we gave itto them.We promise friendship and protection to you,and we will give it to you.If we had not done so to Mexico, you could not have believed us with re- gard to yourselves.We cannot lie! Ponce—Yes.but you took our captives from us without beforehand cautioning us.We were ignorant of this promise to restore capt ers in lawful warfare. us.They are our prope have also been made capt icans.If we had knownof this thing, should not have come here.We shou not have placed that confidence in you. Commissioner—Our brother speaks an- grily,and without due reflection. and women lose their temper, and he who has rea- de wins.I have They belong to rty.Our people ives by the Mex-weId son and justice on his si no doubt but that you hav ‘muc by the Mexicans.This isa question in which it is impossible for us to tell who is right or who is wrong.You and the |Mexicans accuse each other of being the aggressors.Our duty is to fulfil our pro- ‘mise to both.This opportunity enables us to show to Mexico that we mean what |we Say;and,when the time comes,we will be ready and prompt to prove the ood faith of our promises to you.

Dalgadito—we do not doubt the word of our brave white brethren.The Amer- icans are braves,we know it;and we be- lieve a brave scornsto lie.But the own- er of these captives is a poor man;he cannot lose his captives who were obtain- ed at the risk of his life,and purchased by the blood of his relatives.He justly demands his captives.We are his friends and relatives,and we wish to see this de- mand complied with.It is just,and as justice we demand it. Commissioner—]will now tell my Apa- che brethren what can be done for them. The captives cannot be restored.The Commissioner cannot buy them,neither can any American buy them;but there is here in our employ a Mexican who is anxious to buy them,and restore them to their homes.We have no objection that this Mexican should do so;and,if he is not rich enough some of us will lend him the means to do so with. Dalgadito.—The owner does not wish tosell;he wants his captives. Commissioner.—I have already told my broth. er that this cannot be,I speak not with two tongues.Make up your minds.Dalgadito.—The owner wants twenty horses for them.Commissioner.—The Apache laughs at his white brother!He thinks hima squaw,and that he can play with him as with an arrow !— Let the Apache say again. Dalgadito.—The brave who owns these cap- tives does not wish to sell.He has had one of those (two)boys six years.He grew up underhim.His heartstrings are bound around him.He is asa son to his old age.He speaks our language,and he cannot sell him.Money cannot buy affection.His heart cannot be sold.He taught him to string and shoot the bow,and to wield the lance.He loves the boy,and cannot sell him. Commissioner.—We are sorry that this thing should be.We feel for our Apache bro. ther,and would like to lighten his heart.But CEP Eeters,to the necessity of unremitted exetionstopreserveourgloriousUnion,to what has been so seasonably andwdone,with so much ability,eloquenceandpatriotism,by some of our eminent coun- trymen,you invite me to e,for a time,my quiet abode here,to @ppear in yourgreatcity,and to address ‘ny fellow citi-zens on the actual condition,and menac-ing danger of our country. I feel,gentlemen,with the greatest in-terest and the deepest solicitude,the fullforceofallthatyouhaveexpressed;and I would gladly comply with your wishesandevendedicatetheremantofalife,thelargestandbestpartofwhichhasbeenspentinthepublicservices,to the causeoftheUnion,if the state of my healthwouldallowme,and if 1 believed thatanyfreshexertionsofminewouldbeuse-ful.But ever since the long session ofthelastCongress,during which my ardu-ous duties were greater than I was wellabletoeneounter,my health has been del-icate,and it has remained so throughout the past summer.I hope that it is improv- ing,but it still requires the most assida- ous care;and |entertain serious appre-hensions that ifI were to accept your in- vitation,and throwmyself intg the scenes of excitement incident to it,}:strength might fail me,and my presgut debility might be much increased.There is no place,I am fully aware,where I should find more ardent and enthusiastic friends in one party,and more courtesy and res- pect in the other,than in the com- mercial metropolis of the Union.Whilst I am constrained with much regret re- spectfully to decline the meeting you pro- pose,|avail myselfof the occasion to pre- sent some views which ]have taken ofpublicaffairs,and which I trust may bereceivedasasubstituteforanyoralexhi- bition of them which I could make before a large concourse of my fellow citizens in N.York. It was not supposed by the authors and supporters of the compromise,in the last Congress,that the adoption of the series of measures which cumposéed it,would se- cure the unanimous concurrence of all.— Their reasonable hopes were confided to the great majority of the people of the U. States,and their hopes have not been dis- appointed.Every where—north,south, east and west—an immense majority of the people are satisfied with,oy acquiesce in,the compromise.This may be confi- dently asserted in regard to thirteen of the slaveholding States,and thirteen ifnotfourteenofthefreeStates.In a few of both classes of the States,and in some particular localities,dissatisfaction exists exhibiting itself occasionally in words of great violence and intemperance ;but this feeling is,|trust,where it has most prevailed,gradually yielding to an en- lightened sense of public duty.I will pre-sent a rapid survey of the actual state of things,as it appears to me,both at the North and South,beginning at the form- er. In all that region there is but one of the various compromise measures that is se- riously assailed,and that is the law,made in strict conformity with the constitution, for the surrender of fugitives from lawful service or labor.Batthe law itself,with two exceptions,has been every where en- forced ;opposition to it is constantly aba- ting the constitution and the laws,made directly by the people themselves,is now almost universally recognised and admit- ted.If in the execution of the law,by the public authority,popular discontent is sometimes manifested,it has,with the ex- ceptions mentioned,been invariably re- pressed,or prevented from obstructing the officers of justice in the performance of it is not our fault.Our brother has fixed his affection on the child of his enemy.It is very noble.But our duty is stern.We cannot ‘avoid it.It wounds our bearts to hurt our Wimends but if it were our own children,and |duty andthe law said,**Part with them,”part )with them we should.Let our Apache brother reflect,and name his price.

York.Emanating from asource so high- ly repectable and imposing,from friends and fellow-citizens so numerous and intel- ligent,and whom I am under such great obligations,I have perused it with pro- found attention and deference.After ad- verting to the present state of public af- fairs,to the spirit adverse to the measures of compromise adopted during the last Congress,which prevails in certain quar- their official duties.If 1 am correctly in- |formed,a great and salutary change has'been made,and is yet in progress at the |North,which authorizes the confident an- |ticipation thatreason and law will final- ‘ly achieve a noble triumph. The necessity of maintaining and en- forcing that law,unrepealed,and without ‘any modification that would seriously im- |pair its efficiency,must be admitted by |the impartial judgment of all candid men. |Many of the slaveholding States,and ma- |ny public meetings of the people in them, have deliberately declared that their ad- herence to the Union depended upon the preservation of the Union.I knew that the sbolitionists (some of whom openly avow a desire to produce that calamitous event)and their partizans deny and deride the existence of any such danger;but men who will not perceive and own it, must be blind to the signs of the times,to the sectional strife which has unhappily ‘arisen,to the embittered feelings which |have been excited,as well as the solemn resolutions of deliberative assemblies, unanimously adopted.Their disregard of the danger,|am apprehensive,pro- ceeds more from their desire to continue agitation,which augments it,than from their love of the Union itself. You refer,gentlemen,to “resolations and addressess adopted at conventions lately assembled around us,in which we |have seen with regret,as well as alarm, ‘that the questions of adherence to the compromise is avoided or evaded,’and you |justly deprecate the tendency of these res- ‘olutions.Ihave not been an inattentive |or indifferent observer of them,and with |you |deeply regret their adoption.I wish |that these respectable bodies could have: |been less ambiguous and more explicit in declaring their determination to acquiesce- in,qand abide by,a great measure of peace’ |and compromise,which,forming an epoch ‘in the progress of our country,was In- tended to reconcile and restore concord and fraternal feelings among our divided countrymen.There was no necessity to reserve a right to discuss,to modify and repeal the obnoxious law.Such a right existed without any express reservation, not only as to that law,but asto all laws, and as to the constitution itself,which has incorporated in it the right of amendment, and consequently that of discussion.Bat there are occasions whenaspirit of mod- sor _—.—————| n should prompt a forbearance to se that right.Ifmore were intend- n meets the eye,more than to pro- the theoretic right of discussion— ere designed to announce the right emittedbgitation,to continue the ctions of the country,and,finally,if le to repeal the Fugitive Slave Law, tism and harmony must condemn nwise course as fraught with the_ nischie vous and perilous consequen- we must make some allowance for n frailty and inordinate prideof opin- Many persons at the North had a- |an invincible hostility to the fugi- .w,and even declared their inten- rcibly to obstruct its execution,and ppealed to a higher law,which,as ontended,was paramount to all hu- egislation.These untenable posi- were wholly irreconcileable with lism,or even with the existence of r government itself.QObeying the 2s,it is to be hoped,of wiser and and more sacial caunsels,the par- ho,under the impulses of passion naticism,bad assumed,bave now oned them,and acknowledged their stiondble duty to submit to the law, tis ified ar repealed hy compe- uthority.In descending from the nd perilous ground,whichthey could fely occupy,to that af conceding igation of submission to the law,we 1,|hope,a just homage to the dic- f civilizatien,and to the duties of shed government.If they have d with this praper concession the sreservation ofa rightof discussion, f insisting upon a repeal or the ment ofa law to which they had| exception,may we not hope that urpose was only to secure a decent | ,with a secret and patriotic deter- on to forbear from disturbing that to harmony and tranquility,so ne- y to the safety and prosperity of the l o disturb and distract our country rray seclion against section,and to -n the stability of the government— ifidence is unshaken in the great {our Nortbern fellow-citizens,that ill,in due time,and in a right man.| yply an appropriate and effectual| Ve, Ironing our attention to the South, the slaveholding states,we behold | 1 le eycourage their friends of the| and but little to excite solicitude | In all those states,except|here is an acquiescence in the terms | compromise,anda firm attachment | Jnion.Jn two of those three,(Geor-|which now binds us,if the right of seces-| arm, d Mississippi,)we have much rea- hope,from their known patriotism itelligence,that the same attach- Should it turn out otherwise—| the reckless spirit of agitation con.| ‘exercised whenever the State deems it has sufficient cause;at all times—in a state of profound peace and prosperity,or in the midst of a furious war;ranging in all our borders;and that,in the latter case, transforming itself into a distinct and in- dependent nation,it may escape the ca- lamities of war,make a separate treaty of peace with the common enemy,be- come neutral,or even ally with that ene- my,and take up arms against the United | States.It asserts this right,although it may | lead,in process of time,to the promiscu- ous dotting over,upon the surface of the territory of the United States,of petty in- dependent nations,establishing for them- selves any form of government,free ordespotic,known to mankind,and inter- rupting the intercourse and violating or menacing the execution of the laws of the dismembered confederacy.It contends for this right,as well for Louisiana as for South Carolina,although the province of Louisiana cost us so much money,andwasnighinvolvingusinaforeignwar; for Texas,although it occasioned us a war with Mexico,the payment of ten millions of dollars to arrange its bounda- ries and to acquire it,many were willing to risk a war with England;and for dis- tant California,although that was acquir- ed by the double title of conquest and the payment of an ample pecuniary consider- ation. If,indeed,the Union,under which we have so long and generally so happily lived,be thus fragile and liable to crum- ble in pieces we must cease to boastof the wisdom of our forefarthers who framed it federacy Or other party from which to secede. Secession is incident to ucioywithcutWhichitcanhave unless it is clearly provided fe of Union out of which it springs,and,still more,|if it be utterly irrecconeilable’with that com. pact,it can have no constitusiona!or legitimate -foundation. It is contended,howeVer,in the second place,that the right ef seeession appertains to the States,under and in virtue of their sovreignty. This argument scorns any reliance upon the reservation of powers in the Constitution,cutsloosefromalltheobligationsinthatinstrument,defies the’power and aythority ot.the General Government,and finds a solutéon of the author- ity for secession in the sovreigntyof the States. What that sovreignty is,it does not deign to define or explain,nor to show how one of itsallributesistodisregardand.violate grave or confederacy, )existence,and, rin the compact t compacts.The sovereignty of the States,prior to the adoptionof the present Constitution,was timi- |ted and qualified by the articles of confederation.|They bad agreed.among themselves to create a perpetual Union.When,therefore,the thir- teen original States peeeed from under those articles to the Constitution,they passed froma |less to a more pertect Union,and agreed to _turtber limitations upon their sovreignty. Under the present Constitution,among the |limitations and prohibitions upon the sovreign- |ty of the States,it is express!y provided that |li |‘no State shall enter into any treaty,alliance, |or confederation,grant letters of marque and |reprisal,coin money,emit bills of credit,makeanythingbutgoldandsilvercoinatenderin |payment of debts;”’and ‘*no State shall with. |out the consent of Congress,lay any duty of |tonnage,keep troops or ships of war in time of { admit of much enlargement and additional i}: lustration,but J have already given to this pa- per an inordinate length.In contemplating that sketch,we bebold much moreto animate the hopes and to encourage the patriotism ol the country,than to create regret and appre- hension.After such a political storm as that which violently raged during the last Congress, it was not to be expected that the nation would instantly settle down in pertect quiet and re- pose.Considering the vast extent of our ter- ritory,our numerous population,the heated con. flicts of passion,of opinion,of interests,and of sections,pervading the entire Union.we have great reason to be thankful to Providence for the degree of calmness,ot tranquility,and of satisfaction,which prevails.If there are local exceptions at the North and at the South,of rash and misguided men,who would madly re- sistthe Constitution and laws of the U.States, let us not despair of their return,in season- able time,to reason and to duty.But suppose we should be disappointed,and that the stand. ard should be raised of open resistance to the Union;the Constitution,and the laws,what is to be done?’‘here can be but one possible answer.‘The power,the authority,and digni. ty of the Government ought to be maintained, and resistance put down at every hazard.Go. vernment,in the fallen and depraved state of man,woud lose all respect,and fall into dis- grace aud contempt,if it did not possess poten. tially,and would not in extreme cases practi- cally exercise,the right of employing foree.— ‘The theory of the Constitution of the United |States assumes the necessity of the existence and the application of force,both in our foreign and domestic relations.Congress js express- ly authorized ‘to raise and suppoit armies,” ‘to provide and maintain a navy,”and “pro. |peace,enter into any agreement or compact |vide for calling forth the militia,to execute the |}with another State or with a foregin power, orengage in war,unless actually invaded,or ||laws of the Union,suppress insurrections,and repel invasions.”‘The duty of executing the —tear from our hearts the sentiments of |in such imminent danger as will admit of no|laws and suppressnig insurrections is without |gratitude and veneration with which they had inspired us,and no longer expect an |enlightened world to bestow the unbound. ed praise which it has hiterto lavished on ‘them.A doctrine so extraordinary and| 'indefensible,fraught with the destruction ‘of the Union,and such other direfel conse- quences,finds no encouragement or sub. port in the constitution of the United States.Jt had none under the articles of confederatoin,which formed in terms a perpetual Union,however ctherwise weak |and inefficient the government was which they established.That inefficiency arose out of the fact,that it operated not on the people directly,but upon the States,which might,and often did,fail to comply with the requisitions made onthem by Con- |gress.To correct that defect,and to form a more perfect Union,the present consti- tution was adopted.It had been alleged that the union of the States,under the ar- ticles of confederation,was held together only by a rope of sand;but it was a rope of adamant,compared with the cord |sion is sanctioned and sustained. ‘The Constitution of the United States estab- 'lisheda Government,and,like all Governments, ‘xXists on the part of large majorities it was to be perpetual,or to have unlimited du- people.At all events,those amongofwhosedevotionandfidelityto generation,but comprehended posterity. ion serious apprehensions were en- ed,have been constrained,in de- +to public opinion materially to )their principles,and to go to the pon a new issue.They have re- d and denounced the practical right ssion at present,and taken shelter the conveninent mask of the mere stright.Whether this shiftingof po-vill satisfy the people of those two remains to be seen.They will SS Seriously consider,that there is hort step between the theoretic as-,and practical exerciseof thatright;

This argument is refuted by either of two sufficient answers.‘The contested power can- not be retained,if its reservation be incompat.| ible with the obligations of the constitutional compact,Butthe Constitution was intended to be perpetual,or,which is the same thing,to be of unlimited existence,subject only,trom lime to titne,to such amendments as mixht be made,in the mode which it specifies.It cre- ated a more perfect Union,which was to secure | the blessings of liberty tothe generation which furmed it,and to their posterity.The obliga. tion which each State voluntarily assumed to the other States,by being admitted into the Union,was,that it would remain perpetually bound to the other States to preserve that Union for their own benefit,and to enure to the benefit of posterity.‘To assert,in the face of that obligation,thata State may retire from the Union whenever it pleases,is to assert that a party,bound by a solemn compact to other parties,may cancel or violate the compact,whenever it thinks proper,without their con. sent.In order to secure respect and submis- sion to the Union,the Constitution expressly provides “that this Constitution,and the Jaws of the United States which shall be made io pursuance thereof,and all treaties made,or which shall be made under the authority of the United States,sball be the supreme lawof the land;and the judges in every State shall be bound thereby,anythiug in the Constitution or laws of any State to the contrary notwithstand- ing.” ‘Thus each and every one of the States bas agreed not only that its ordinary legislation, but that its Constitution,the higher law made by the people in convention,shall,in any cases of conflict,Le subordinate to the paramountauthorityoftheConstitution,laws made inpursuancethereof,and treaties of the United States.If,therefure,any State were—either in its Legislature,or in a convention of dele- gates of the people—to declare,by the most formal act,tbat it,has seceded from the Union,. of those who rise in rebellion,believing them.such act would be nugatory and an absolutenulily,and the people of that State would re-main bound by the Constitution,laws,andtreatiesoftheUnitedStates,as fully and per-fectly as ifthe act had never been proclaimed. But there is another view also conclusive It makes provision» |delay.”It may be affirmed,with entire truth, |that all the attributes of sovreignty which relate |to peace and war,commerce,navigation,friend- |ship,and intercourse with,and,in short,all that relate to foreign powers,and several of (these attributes which relate to the internal |administration of these States themselves,are |voluntarily surrendered tothe General Govern. ment,and cannot be exercised by the States. The performance of any of the forbidden acts would be null and void,no matter in what sol. emn and authentic form,nor by what State authority-the Legislature,a convention,or the |people themselves of the State,in an aggregate mass—it might be performed.‘The Constitu- tion of the United States would instantly inter. |vene,vacate the act,and proclaim the overru- |ling,supreme,and paramount authority of the Constitution,laws,and treaties of the United States. It is clear,therefore,that no State can do anything repugnant to the Constitution,laws, |and treaties of the United States.What it |might do,ifitwere in possession of al]its ab. solute sovreignty,and had never entered into this Union,is a different question.But if we |suppose,contrary to the historical fact,that the States were absolutely sovreign when the |existing Constitution was adopted,could they |circumscribe and contract their attributes of |sovreignty,by the stipulations and provisions (contained in it?All history is full of exam. |ples of the total annihilation of sovreignty or |nationality,oftener by the power of the sword and conquest,but some time by the voluntary /act of one nation merging itself into another, \ \|| | | | of which we have a striking instance in the| ,case of Texas in our own country.Assuming that the Constitution is a mere compact be- _tween independent nations or sovreign States, they are nevertheless bound by all the obliga- tions which the compact creates.‘They are |bound to abstain from all forbidden acts,and to submit to the supremacy of the Constitution and laws of the United States.But,it will be asked,have they not also the right to judge of ‘the fidelity with which the common Govern. ment has adhered to the common compact! Yes,most certainly.They have that right, and so has every citizen of the United States, _so has the General Government also.‘The ,alleged violation of the Constitution may be exposed and denounced by all the weapons of| reason,of argument,and of ridicule—by re-| _monstrance,protest,appeals to the judiciary| /and tu the other States—by the press,public opinion,and a}l legitimate means of pursuading or influencing it.If,afier the employment of all or any of these peaceful methods,the Gov. ernment of the United States,sustained by a constitutional majority of the nation,persist in retaining the obnoxious law,there is no alter- native but obedience to the law on the part of the minority,or open,undisguised,manly,and forcible resistance to its execution. |The alledged right of secession is,I appre- head,sometimes confounded with a right of revolution.But its partisang meanatotally different thing.They contend that it is a peace. ful,lawful,and,if not constitutional remedy,that it is not forbidden by the Constitution.| They insist that it is a State right to be recog.| nised and respected;and that,whenever exer.| cised by a State,far from being censuredor | |prow limitation or qualication ;it isco-extensive with the jurisdiction of the U.States,and it compre. hends every species of resistance to the execu- tion of the laws,and every form of insurrection, no matter under what auspices or sanction it is made.Individuals,public meetings,States, may resolve,as often as their tastes or pass- ions may prompt themto resolve,that they will | forcibly oppose the execution of the laws,and secede fromthe Union.Whilst these resolu- tions remain on paper,they are harmless ;but the moment a daring hand is raised to resist, by force,the execution of the laws,the duty of enforcing them arises ;and ifthe conflict which may ensue should lead to civil war,the resist- ing party,having begun it,will be responsible for all its consequences. Since the adoption of our present Constitu- tion and the Union which created,by the bless.ing of Providence,we have advance in popula. lion,power,wealth,internal improvement,and national greatness,with a degree of rapidity which,unparalleled in ancient or modern na- tions,has excited the astonishment and com. manded the admiration of mankind.Our am. ple limits and extensive jurisdiction,more than tripled.have been made to embrace all the pro- vinces of Louisiana,the two in Florida,‘Texas, and New Mexico;and passing the Rocky Mountains,have reached the Pacific Ocean, comprehending Oregon,and California,and Utah.Our population bas risen from four to twenty-three millions;our revenue,without any onerous burden,has grown from less than three to fifty millions of dollars ;our revolution. ary debt is extinguished;our mercantile ma- rine is not surpassed by that of the greatest marine power,the abundant productsof our ag.| riculture satisfy all our wants,and contribute to the subsistence of other nations ;our manu. factures are rapidly tending to the supply of all we essentially need from them,and to afford a surplus for the prosecution of our extended foreign commerce;the surface of our land is striped over with railroads and turnpikes,and our sea-lakes and navigable waters resound with the roar of innumerable steam vessels.—| Your own great city illustrates our greatness. After the commencement of the operation of this Constitution,in 1790,its population was 33,131.By the census of 1850 it was 515,- 384:and our other cities have increased inscarcelyalessratio. pacity of representative government to main. tain free and liberal institutions on an exten. sive territory,has been triumphantly solved by the intetlligence of the people and the all pow- arful agency of steam and lightning. Such are the gratifying results which have been obtained under the auspices of that Union which some rash men prompted by ambition, passion and phrenzy,would seek to dissolve and subvert!To revolt against such a Govern. ment,for anything which has passed,would be so atrocious,and characterized by such extreme folly and madness,that we may search in vain for an example of it in human annals.We can look for its prototype only (if[may be pardon. ed the allusion)to that diabolical revolt which | recorded on the pages of Holy Writ,has been | illustrated and commemorated by the sublime ||genius of the immortal Milton.

A WONDERFUL TALE OF TEXAS. Every one in Eastern or Middle Texas knows Billey Trippet—and a better fellow lives not on this side of the Rocky Moun- tains-notwithstanding he meets occasion- ally with hair breadth escapes and many strange adventures,which he sometimes relates by way of beguiling the tedious hours on dull rainy winter evenings;and no one for a moment doubts his veracity. Once on atime Billy and two compan- ions set out tothe Trinity river on survey- ing excursion ;in their eagerness to pro- cure good lands,they got down the line designated for the Indians’hunting ground.| and returning tothe settlement much ear- lier than was anticipated.On being ques- tioned as to their early return,Billy gives the following accountof their adventures: We pursued our course.”said ‘he.“to the neighborhood of three forksof the Trin ity—made several fine surveys—all the time keeping an eye for tnill sites,good springs of pure water,and now and then passing over the prairies,to see if any In- dians were near:and finally came tothe conclusion that the Indians had left the diggins and felt pretty safe,though wol- ves,bears,panthers and catamounts were in abundance;but this wasa kind of game that gave us no uneasiness,but only alit- ‘tle sport.We one evening had surveyed a fine tract of land on the bank of the Trinity,night coming on apace we con- cluded to pitch tent,and drew up near the bank of the river in a huge cane brake ; selected the trunk ofa fallen tree,kindled a fire against it,stuck our tomahawks in the log,staked our ponies out and commen- ced cooking.We had killed a fine bear that day,and had a quarter up before the fire roasting,teakettle on towumake coffee, and the fire full of ash cakes.All things going on well,we lolled on our blankets, |and got out the flask and tooka nip or too. |All at once the log began to roll towards /us over the coffee-kettle and ground the |;aS|ash cakes to powder;we sprang to our |feet,|told one of the boysto puta chunk |under the log to prevent it from rolling, which he accomplished in double quick time,but all would not do,the log kept |rolling and tumbling until it was not safe tobe near it.We retreated toa safe dis- |tance wondering what could come of it. At length one of the boys screamed at the top ofhis voice,‘Snake!’and sure enough, 'that which had been taken for a log,was 'a snake.But the matter did’nt end here, |he began to hump his back and hiss worse than a Mississippi steamer ;the fire made |him sick;he began to vomit and dischar- |ged two large living buffaloes,a bear, |and some other small game ;he then made |a tremendous effort and threw up a canoe |with six living Indians,all with rifles in ‘hand.We were completely surprised; /the Indians brought their rifles to a pre- sent,and we vamosed.This 1s what brought us in before we expected.

This is to certify that I have been afflicted with Can- cer for the last forty years or more,and after a series of operations performed by different physicians,who sometimes partially healed it,it would break out again. Finally a physician effected a cure on my upper lip,(for that was its locality)but in a short time it broke out on my forenead about nine or ten years ago.It soon be- |gan to enlarge,until I again had to call in medical aid, but to no effect.It grew worse andworse,until it was about a third larger than a hard dollar,and extended from the edge of my hair to my eye-brow.My friends generally thought that it would soon killme:the smell of it was quite offensive.Whilst in this extremity,I applied to Mr.A.F.Atkins,and 1 am happy to say he effected a cure in six weeks without the use of the knife: his treatment is somewhat severe,but lasts only a short time.My cancer has been well upwards of four months, and has no appearance of breaking out again.My general health has been better since then than it has for 5 or 6 years;and from hissuccessin curing others also, I think ke will be able to cure all such diseases if taken in time.I would therefore advise all who are thus af- flicted to give him a trial.her MARY »FORREST. mark.

FATAL GENEROSITY. The negro preachers at the South are often marked by great shrewdness and ' mother wit, and will not only point the truth, but barb it so that, if once in, it will ‘stick fast. One of these in Old Virginia | was once descanting with much earnest: ness on different ways in which men lose their souls. Under one head of remark, he said that men often lose their souls through excessive generosity. * What!” he exclaimed, “you tell me you never heard of that before. You say, ministers often tell us we lose our souls for our stinginess, and for being covetous ; but whoever heard of a man that hurt himself by going too far Vother way? | tell you how they doit. They sit down under the sermon, and when the preach- | er touched upon this sin or that sin, they |no take it to themselves; but give this | part of the sermon to one brother, and that | part to another brother, and so they give | away the whole sermon, and it do them _no good, And that’s the way they lose | their souls by being too generous.” | There is great trath in this remark.— | | | | | | \ The want of a self applying conscience causes much of the best of preaching to fall like rain upon a rock, from which it |soon runs off; or if a little is caught ina | hollow, it only stagnates, and then dries away, leaving no blessings behind. | A sermon, however true and forcible, | thus disposed of. does no good to those a. | mong whom it is so silently distributed, i while it leaves him who squatders its | treasures to perish at last in the poverty | and emptiness of his soul. \ | OUT.

It would unqnestionably be thought very fine for Kossuth, having escaped from his Turkish prison, to abandon all thought of further service to his country, turn his back upon Europe forever, and take up his abode as a farmer in some remote section of the United States. Expectations seemed to have been formed in this country that this would be his course, and many respectable papers deprecat-. ed the idea of giving hin a public reception, and prudentially advised that the money should | be devoted to the purchase of a farm wherenpon | | Kossuth might spend the remainder of his days. misapprehension of his character and position.

He has work to do in Europe, and we are glad to find he has the courage and the energy to enter upon it. We should re. Joice to see him upon our shores the guest of the nation, and welcomed, as he will be, by the millions of the American people.

Our Government, we are confident, will treat this impotent threat with the coutempt it merits, Congress invited Kossuth to this country, and the act was received with univer. sal acclamation by the people. His coming here is the act of Government; and the per. mission of Austria will acarcely be asked, or her pleasure consulted, in regard to the matter.

The San Francisco Correspondent of the Journal of Commerce, in his letter of the Ist October, speaks as follows of the un- precedented success of some of the culti- vators of the soil in California : The news from the interior is of the most cheering character; and you may expect such returns from the miners dur. ing the rainy season as will astonish the world. Immense piles of earth have been \ | ( | \ ‘thrown up, and every preparation made | for a bountiful supply of water to wash out their summer gatherings. In addition to this, we have the great agricultural wealth of the State poured into our laps. | But your readers will not believe half that might be narrated. The reports are | almost “too big tobe true.” I have had /exhibited to me this day, by Mr. C. A. Shelton, onions weighing two poundseach. raised by Robert Smith, at the San Jose Mission. He hastwo acres of them, aver- aging 14 pounds each onion. He thinks | the yield will be 2,500 sacks, averaging | 82 pounds each, say 205,000 pounds as ithe product of two acres of land! Mr. | Smith brought 50 bags’of them to market | this day, for which he demands 20 cts. per | pound. Supposing he gets but 15 cents | per pound for his entire crop. we find that it amounts tothe sum of $30,750 as the simple product of two acres of wild land. | And this is but the average yield of the onion crop throughout the Santa Clara | valley. The potato crop will average 300 | bushels to the acre, worth to-day six to |Seven cents per pound. Dr. Bashum of Santa Clara, is said to have raised last / year 800 bushels of potatoes to the acre ; but this was on well cultivated land. | It is stated that Gen. Vallejo sold his | standing grass for fifteen thousand dollars 'cash. The party purchasing it expended /an additional twenty thousand dollors to /cut and cure the same, and has now re- alized the sum of one hundred thousand dollars profit for the hay. | The market price for hay opened this ‘fall at $40 per ton, advanced to $50, but _has now declined to $25 per ton for oat | hay, and $30 for best * Burr clover.” At these, prices it will not pay first cost and _expenses of bringing to market. | The arrivals of barley are also large from the interior, and it commands about \ ! 5$ cents per pound. . Immense quantities | of all kinds of vegetables are now being brought to market, and, generally speak- | Ing, command high prices; quality superior.

The invention consists in simply uniting the two ends of each link together, by doubling them over one anoth- er. the same as if we should hook, “ma- son fashion,” the two little fingers into one another. The old unwelded links, on no chain, were ever made with their ends hooked into one another, but simply brought together and formed (the most common way life an 8. Now what are the advantages of this improvement ? They are great. We have tried the old link and the new one, in a Jack; they were both made of iron rodgeof the same diameter, and we found that the new link stood more than double the power applied to the old link, before it gave way; in short, it is as strong as the welded link. When we consider the usefulness and extensive application of iron chains to so many processes and operations, the yalue of this invention cannot be estimated ; for the link can be made as fast and as cheap as the old unwelded link, while it has all the advantages of being as strong as the welded one. From the Scientific American. HORSE SHOEING—INTERFERING HORSES. One writer in the Scientific American recommends raising the shoe upon the in- side and another the reverse ; which is correct? I answer—both; and I also say both are in error. The lateral mo- tion of the fetterlock joint is small, and the effort to throw the ancle out by the method recommended by Mr. Jewett usu- ally produces inflammation of the cartila- ges and ligaments of the joint, and many times destroys the socket by absorbtion of the heads of the bone, leaving the ancle permanently enlarged, and ruining the horse for road or market. The paring off the hoof from the inside will have the same effect, if it is carried to an extent, to put the shoe farther under the foot than it ought to be. Many horses in ill condition will inter- fere in spite of all remedies, when jaded or allowed to shack upon the raad. best remedies are the good condition of the horse—skillful shoeing, 2. e., neither inclining one way nor the other, but made to resemble the fair hoof of the horse as near as may be, being as light as possi- ble. And instead of shoeing so as to have the shoe standing like a three-legged stool, allow all the shoe to touch the ground, by having a flange turned upon the whole outer edge of the shoe. The best horse- shoe ever brought into use, is one recent- ly invented by Mr. Wm. A. Sweet, of Pompey, N. Y.; it is made of good spring steel, smooth inside, with a flange turned on the outer edge; it will soon come into | general use. In applying the shoe to cure kept close, and the nails set well into the groove ; the improved shoe protects the | nails by its flange. The unnatural shoe- ling will accomplish all that can be expec- its general use. Your last correspondent requires no reply. Syracuse, N.

Salisbury, N.C. THURSDAY EVENING, NOVEMBER 13, 1851. A NEW DIGEST. We are requested to give notice to the law profession of North Carotina that H. C. Jones, Esq., of this vicinity is engaged in preparing for publication a Digest of the last volumes of Iredell’s Reports. Mr. Jones has been induced to undertake this work {rom a consideration that it is earn- estly demanded by the profession, and from learning that Governor Iredell has declined taking it in hand and that no one ‘else is likely to meet the emergency. Fire !—Our citizens were startled from their usual quiet, on Thursday last, about one o'clock, P. M., by the cry of fire! Mr. Thomas E. Brown, passing near the Female Academy on horse- back, discov- ered the roof of the bailding to be on fire, near the North-East gable. ° He immedi- ately dashed off up town, and taking a circle through the principal] streets, spread the alarm. And when it is taken in the account that the Academy is about five hundred yards from the business part of Town; that the roof was dry, and very steep, and high, with no trap-door admit- ting of its being reached from the inside ; that the scarcity of water and the wind together, rendered the engine of almost no use at all, it is a matter of wonder that it was saved from destruction. Prof. Mor- gan and family, most of all interested, and the Stockholders in the establishment, are chiefly indebted to some two or three in- dividuals, whose well-directed efforts and courage accomplished so much against the reasonable expectations of almost ev- ery person present. The fire itself did but litthe damage to the building and none at all tothe proper- ty of Mr. Morgan, who occupied it. The greatest mischief ensued by the removal of property. DL?

When the fire was fifty feet above us and no ladder reached it, and the wells fa‘led to supply the engine, | which reached the spot in a few minutes from the first | alarm, many turned from the disheartening and anequal | conflict to save the apparatus and furniture. Then with | fearfal agility, several ascended the precipitous roof and | with their hands tore from the ridge the burning shingles. | Others, with self-possession, cut a passage within for | water, till all was saved. | Not an article is missing, even from a pupils toilet, nor was there much damaged. Gentlemen in Court, strangers in the street, servants | at work, left nothing for delay ; and women at thet own | wells left nothing for regret.

IN REPLY TO ‘“ THE TEMPERANCE BARK,” AND RESPECTFULLY DEDICATED TO “ LUOLA.” BY LEONCE. Our gallant “ bark ” is onward bound, Across the surging main ; Her craftsmen are the sturdy ‘ Sons,” Intent the port to gain. Though dash the billows high around, To check its onward course, On the broad sea, in calm or storm, Her prow maintains its force. When threatening storms had gather’d thick, To dash her hopes a strand, The * Daughters” to our rescue came,— A noble little band. Thoogh woman’s fair-hands have not wove Her sails, or spread them wide, Her prayers, like potent winds, increase Her speed upon the tide. These allies feel the crushing tread, Of that oppreesor’s reign, Whose sins are only number’d by, The number of his slain. They come to join the noble crew, The storm-toss’d ship to save, Their voice can calm the surging sea, And smoothe the rolling wave. The maniac cried out, when his brain A lucid moment deck’d, ** Oh, would to God, that bark had launched, Ere my fond hopes were wrecked ; I would have joined her gallant crew, My own dear home to bless, And peace would now be reigning where, Dwells naught but deep distress.” When woman’s shrieks are heard afore, And woman's prayers abaft, What sea ‘s so rough as to depress, This philanthropic craft? Her urgent prayers ascend on high, To shield us from all harm, With woman’s smiles, what brave would fear, The fury of the storm? ‘‘ Benevolence, our only aim,” To cheer the widow’s grief, To bind her broken—bleeding heart, We run to her relief. To hush the orphan’s cries we’re come, Neglected though they be, We'll raise his hopes high up among, The ‘‘ nable and the free.” Fhe angry clouds are passing by, The threatening billows sleep, The sky reflects a brighter hope, Upon the placid deep. The rainbow spans the vault above, Its promises are true ; Float on brave bark, nor cease thy speed Till vict’ry soars in view ! Then ‘ brothers,” gird your armor on, And raise our banner high, See there inscribed upon its folds, Friendship and Purity ! Fidelity and Love are there, Our watchword and appeal, Fidelity, insures success, And Love will crown our zeal. Wilkesboro’, N. C. a FOR THE CAROLINA WATCHMAN. TIME. BY J. SULLIVAN. Fime is forever on the wing— Thus sages teach and poets sing— And soon or late will end his flight In one dread, dark, chaotic night: That wheeling with our little sphere, He speeds him with the passing year, And as the years revolve around, Progresses towards his destined bound. But what hath years to do with time, Revolving spheres or clocks shrill chime ; They only serve frail mortal man, To measure out his little span. To mark his transit on life’s wave Betwixt the cradle and the grave: Our being ’tis that onward tends— Here it begins, and there it ends. Not so with time: revolving spheres May mark their various days and years ; Their days and years with time are one, Both end alike where they begun.; Our notions of time’s progress springs From the relative state of things; Each opening morn and closing day We mark as time that’s passed away ; And day and night and change of clime Are noted as the march of time. Suppose thou conldst at thy command Cause yonder noon-day sun to stand Firm fixed in his meridian height, While thousand ages take their flight ! Day without night or change of clime, No standard then to measure time, Though thousand ages pass away, Enquire the time ’tis still to-day. Conceive thyself on yonder sun* ’Round which revolving planets run, And tho’ he on his axis turn Still o’er thy head shall ether barn. The stars would hence escape thy sight Eclips'd by his superior light ; No morn. no noon, no closing day,t Eternal sameness reigns for ’ere ! No changing clime—no wheeling sphere ‘“ From which to date—to which refer ;” Nor couldst thou on Time’s dial trace One moment of. thy life’s short space. With all the aids that science lend— Date life's beginning or its end, Inexorable, steadfast sublime— ’T would seem to be the throne of Time, Or else his prison—Time in chains, While eternity around him reigns Just now as when at God’s command The world left his creative hand. This and that moment ’s just the same, Time’s progress but an empty name ; Time never was nore’er shall be ; Time’s attribute ’s eternity. No time is past—and none to come, The present fills the mighty sum ; Tho’ revolving world’s before him bow With Time ‘tis ‘‘ one eternal now.” *See Herschel’s hypothesis that the sun may be an inhabited world, and that his light is caused by luminous clonds in the upper regions of the suns atmosphere. tPhysical immortality of the soul. a | -THE PLANK ROAD... - _ We bear batilittle said about the con- \inuation of the Fayetteville and Western Plank Road 4o this place. We hope our citizens are still alive to the importance of this work, and aware that upon their exertions mainly depends the success of the enterprize. We fear that there are so many inter- ests at work in relation to the extension of this road, that, in the end, we may be cut off emtirely.— People’s Press. W asurneton, Nov. 2d. Right of Search Re.

WARRLBD. On the Sth inst., by Charles R. Jones, Esq., Mr. Jo- sePH Cox, to Miss Marcaret, daughter of Z. Albea, all of Iredell county. Diced. In this county, on the 6th of this instant, Anna Pz- HEL, in the 22d year of her life. In this Town, on the 8th instant, Mrs. Evizasetn Sars, relict of the late Mr. William Smith, senr., aged about 72 years. The deceased had been, for many years, an exemplary and worthy member of the Evangelical Lutheran Church, and by her walk and conversation honorably sustained her profession. She died as she had lived in the faith and hope of the gospel of Christ. She has left two sons, two daughters, several grand-chileren, and a large number of friends to lament her death ; but they have the consolation to believe that she has become a partaker of the glorious inheritance that God has pre- pared for those that love Him. May they all meet her in that land where *¢ Sickness and sorrow, pain and death, Are felt and feared no more.” (Communicated. At Mt. Mourne, Iredell county, on the 4th instant, Dr. Davip Green Tempieton. ‘The deceased was, for the last thirty-five years, until a few years preceding his death, a practicing physician ; devoting himself exclu- sively and assiduously, to the onerous duties of his pro- fession. Dr. TempLeton was a pupil of the distinguish- ed Dr. Charles Harris, of Cabarrus county ; and it may be claimed for him, without disparagement to the repu- tation of that great man, that he equalled him in every department of the profession, except surgery. Few men have devoted so long a period of their lives to the prac- tice of this laborious profession ; and none have ever enjoyed more uniform popularity. Apart from his pro- fession, Dr. TempLeton’s attainments in general science, were highly respectable. He was a man of extensive study, and a profound thinker, the peculiar bent of his mind, inclining him to subjects of a metaphysical char- acter. Dr. T. left no near relatives ; but his memory will be long cherished by the community in which he lived. [Communicated. At his residence in Cabarrus county, on the 3d inst., Mr. Joseru B.

C., THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 20, 1851. than evcr turned back upon itself, and lis- tened to the echoes of its own yearnings. Willie, being old enough to work on the farm, was now absent most of the day ; and the fair girl,so richly endowed by nature with all deep feelings and beauti- ful capacities, so lavish of her affections, so accustomed to free outpourings of love, became reserved, and apparently cold and stupid. When the step-mother gave birth to an infant, the fountains of feeling were again unsealed. It was her delight to watch the babe, and minister to its wants. But this development of the affections was likewise destined to be nip- ped in the bud. The step mother, though by no means hard hearted, was economi- cal and worldly-wise. She deemed it niece of her own, somewhat older than Elizabeth, and to have her step-daughter bound out in some family where she could do light labor. It was also determined that William should go to service ; and his place of destination was fifty miles The news of this arrangement was ve- ry bitter to the children. Both unswered their father, very meekly that they were willing to go; but their voices were deep, sad, and almost inaudible. Without say- and the girl her sun-bonnet, and taking each other by the hand, they went forth and roamed silently totheir mother’sgrave. There they stood for along time, still— still—and their tears dropped fast on the green sod. At last, Elizabeth sobbed out, “Oh, if dear mother was alive, Willie, we should not have to go away trom home.” But Willie could only answer by a fresh outburst of grief. A little clump of wild flowers nodded over the edge of the The affectionate boy cut two of to remember mother by.” The flowers were carefully pressed be- tween the leaves of Lizzy’s Testament, and when the sorrowful day of parting came, one was nicely folded in a paper for Willie. » Now, dear sis, give*me that nice little curl,” said he, putting his finger on a« soft, golden brown ringlet that nes tled close tu her ear, and lay caressingly on her downy cheek. She glanced in the ror, and with eyes brimful of tears, she that. Don’t you remember bow dear mo- ther used to wet my head all over with cold water, to make my hair curl? She used to laugh when] shook my head, and she would kiss that one in particular. She said it was such a darling curl.” Thus childishly did the innocent ones speak to- gother. The brother twisted the fa- vorite curl round his finger, and kissed it too; and a bright tear fell on it, and glit- tered in the sunshine. William left home a few days earlier than his sister, and bitterly did the lonely one sob herself to sleep that night. She shuddered in the dark, and when the moon looked in at the window, its glance seem- ed more mournful than ever. The next morning, she fell from the breaktast table in a fit more severe than usual. But as she soon recovered, and these spasms now occurred only at distant intervals, her step- mother thought she had better be in readi- ness to depart at the appointed time. The wagon was brought to the door, and the father said to her, “ Lizzy. put on your bonnet, and bring your bundle. It is time to go.” Oh, how the poor child lin- | gered in her little bed-room, where she_ and Willie slept in their infant days, and | where the mother used to hear them say | their prayers, and kiss them both, as they | lay folded in each others arms. To the | strong step-mother she easily said good | bye; but she paused long over the cradle | of the babe, and kissed each of its little | fingers, and fondly turned a little wave of sunny hair on his pure white forehead.— Her beart swelled, and she had to swal- low hard to keep down the sobs ; for it was her cradle, and she was thinking how her mother used to sing her to sleep.— Her father spoke to her in a tone of unusu- al tenderness, as if he too remembered her infancy, and the gentle one who used to rock her in that cradle. “ Come, Lizzy, said he,“ it istime to go. You shall come back and see the baby before long.” With blinded eyes she stumbled into the wagon, and turned and looked back as long as she could see the old elm tree by her bed- room window, where all the summers of ber young life she had watched the swal- lows come and go. It is a dreary fate for a loving and sen- sitive child to be bound out at service a- mong strangers, even if they are kind- bearted. The good woman of the house received Lizzy ina very friendly manner, and told her to make herself at home.— But the word only sent a mournful echo through her heart. Fora few days, she went about in a state of abstraction that seemed like absolute stupidity. Her step- mother had prepared them for this, by telling them there was something strange about Lizzy, and many people thought her fits had affected her mind. Being of coarser and stronger natures, they could none of them imagine that the slow stag- nation of the beart easily. dim the light of intellect in a creature so keenly susceptl- ble. But by degrees. the duties requried of her roused her faculiies into greater ac- | | | she was invited to the quilting party. tunately too weary to lie awake and weep. Sometimes she dreamed of Wil- lie, and her dreams of him were always bright and pleasant ; but ber mother some- times fondled her with looks of love, and sometimes came as the pale cold spectre. Thus the months passed slowly away.— Her father came to see her at distant in- tervals, and once in a great while a letter came from Willie, in a large stiff hand. Unaccustomed to writing, he could not through this medium tel] much that was passing in his heart. That he wanted badly to see his sister, and often kissed the flower they plucked from the dear moth. er’s grave, was the substance of all his espistles. _ In the mean time, Lizzy was passing into womanhood. Childhood and youth kissed each other, with new and glowing beauty. Her delicate cheeks mantled with a richer color, and her deep blue eyes, shaded with long fringes of the dark- est brown, looked out upon life with a more earnest and expressive longing.— Plain and scanty garments could not con- ceal the graceful outline of her flexible figure, and her motions were like those of some pretty timid animal, that has al- ways stepped to sylvan sounds. She was not aware of her uncommon loveliness, though she found it pleasant to look in the glass, and had sometimes heard stran- gers say to each ether, “See that pretty girl !” There were no young men in the imme. diate neighborhood, and she had not been invited to any of the rustic dances or quil- ting frolics. One bashful lad in the vi- cinity always contrived to drive his cows past the house where she lived, and ea- gerly kept watch for a glimpse of her, as she went to the barn with her milking. pails. But if she happened to pass near enough to nod and smile, his cheeks grew red, and bis voice forsook ; and she could not know or guess that he would lie awake long that night, and dream of ber smile, and resolve that some time or other he would have courage to tell how handsome she was, and how the sight of her made his heart throb. She did not yet know that she could love anybody better than she had loved Willie. She had seen her darling brother but twice during their three years of seperation ; but his image was ever fresh and bright in her memory. When he came to see her she felt com- pletely happy. While he gazed upon her with delighted eyés, her affectionate na- ture was satisfied with love; for it had not yet been revealed to her in the melt- ing glance of passion. Yet the insidious and unquiet power already began to fore- shadow itself in vague restlessness and romantic musings ; for she was at an age “ To feel a want, yet scarce know what it is; how different the moon seemed to Lizzy now! Earth’s spectral robe had changed to a veil of glory. Her bonnet had fallen back, and the evening breeze played gent- ly with ber ringlets. In soft, insinuating tones, the young man said, “ Will you not give me that litile curl I asked you for ?” She blushed deeply, and answered, in her child-like way, “I cannot give you that, because my mother used to kiss it so of. ten.” “No wonder she kissed it,” he re- plied ; “it looks so roguish, lying there on the pretty cheek.” And before she was aware of it, he bad kissed it too! Trem- bling and confused, she turned to open the gate, but he held it fast, until she had pro mised the next time he came she would give him one of her curls. Poor Lizzy went to bed at night with an intoxicated heart. When she twisted her hair at the glass, next morning. she smiled and blushed, as she twined the fa- vorite ringlet more carefully than ever.— She was so childishly happy with ber pret- ty little curl! The next Sunday evening as she sat at the window, she heard the gpund of a flute. He had promised to bring his flute ; and he had not forgotten her. She listened—it came nearer and nearer through the wood. Her heard beat audibly, for it was indeed the handsome dark-eyed stranger. To be continued. EXTRACT FROM THE ADDRESS OF RALPH GORRELL, Esa., Delivered before the Philanthropic Society of Davidson College, at the commencement in August last. Man, though a reasoning animal, is also a creature ot habit, and generally, more strongly under the influence of the latter than the former moving principle ; and as the fowls of the air ofevery wing build their habitations inthe same way they did in all past time, so as we may readily suppose they will continue to do so for all ages to come, because they are governed solely by instinct, or a faculty “of imitation,— And so it will be with man whilst he suffers himself to be governed by the force of habit, instead of the force of reason. By the use of the latter he learns wisdom by experience, and daily adds to the treasure of his knowledge.— Under the influence of the other, he remains stationary, repeating old blunders, copying past errors, enduring again and again the same grievances, and making his blunders and his errors hereditary by handing them down as heirlooms to his children. The great misfor- tune attending vur agriculture is, that the mass- es engaged in it, though owning the soil they cultivate, make their occupation the subject of neither thought, study nor reading; the advan. tages of a systematic employment of time are lost, all the operations of the farm are perform. ed witha kind of stereotype routine, admitting of little variation or improvement. ‘The modes of cultivation introduced by our fathers upon a Toseek one nature that is alwaysnew, Whose glance is warmer than another's kiss: Such longing instinct fills the mighty scope Of the young heart with one mysterious hope.” At last an important event occurred in Lizzys’s monotonous existence. A young girl in the village was to be married, and It was the first invitation of the kind she had ever received, and of course it occu- pied her thoughts day and night. rence would affect her whole future des- tiny, she would have pondered over it still more deeply. The bridegroom brought a friend with bim to the party—a hand- some dark-eyed young man, clerk of a store in a neighboring town. Aware of his personal attractions, he dressed him- self with peculiar care. Elizabeth had moment his eye glanced upon ber, he de- cided that he had never seen anything half so beautiful. her in a manner sufficiently marked to excite envy ; and some of the rich farmers’ daughters made critical remarks about her dress, which they concluded was pass- ably genteel, for a girl that lived out at service. However, Lizzy was queen of the evening, virtue of nature’s own im- press of royalty. When the quilt was fin- ished, romping games were introduced, according to the fashion of the times ; and the young men took care that the forfeits paid by the pretty girls should generally involve kissing some of their own number. Among the forfeits required of the dark- eyed stranger, he was ordered to beg on his knees for the identical little curl that Willie had asked of his sister. In the midst of her mirthfulness, this brought a shadow over her countenance, and she could not answer playtully.— this emotion passed away with the mo- ment, and she became the gayest of the gay. Never before had she been half so happy. The joyful consciousness of pleas- ing everybody, and the attractive young stranger in particular, made her eyes sparkle, and her whole countenance abso- lutely radiant with beauty. When the party were about to separate, the young man was very assiduous about placing her shawl, and begged permis- sion to accompany her home. But little was said during this walk; yet enough to afford entrance into both hearts for that insiduous and unquiet passion, which tangles the web of human life more than all other sentiments and instincts of our mysterious being. At parting he took her hand, to say good night; but he continued to hold it, and, leaning against the gate they both stood, for a few moments, gaz- ing at the clear, silvery orb of night. Ab, never seen anything so elegant; and the | | | { | Could | their eyes upon the light kindly offered to guide she have foreseen how thissimple occur- | He devoted himself to | However, | rich and virgin soil, and similar agricultural implements, though unfit for the same soil, scoured, exhausted, and impoverished as a large portion of our state now is,—is still pursued with undeviating fidelity, though the rewards of labor are denied and sterility and barrenness, like an invading foe, are making yearly advan. ces, and threatening a complete conquest of the soil which they cultivate. In vain knowledge unfurls to them her ample page, rich with the experience and wisdom of the past; they shut |them to prosperity. In vain the agricultural press weekly and monthly offers to pour its ‘treasures at their feet; most of them have strong | prejudices against what is called “ book farm- ing,” and look upon money spent for informa ‘tion as wasted. It is a matter of comfort that ‘this sad state of things is not universal, and that | this gloomy picture is relieved in every county | by well-cultivated farms under the management of men of education, and others, whose vigorous intellects have broken down the shackles of habit, and who are reaping the rewards of their enlight2ned policy, and setting a noble example ‘for the imit tion of their countrymen, Few, in proportion to the number of educated men, in our State, have entered upon cultivation ‘of the soil as their sole pursuit ; most of them have gone into the learned professions, or have | left the State, and there is reason to fear that there is a prejudice among men of letters, and especially young men, against engaging In this employment. It is looked upon as an in- | ferior calling, and too narrow and limited to fur- | nish scope and range to an educated mind.— | That the learned professions and politics are the only fields where genius and talents can tread, with a certain prospect of honor and dis- tinction. No occupation ought to be esteemed too contracted for the employment of an educa- ted mind, the accomplished pursuit of which re- quires no mean knowledge of the sciences of Chemistry, Mineralogy, Mechanics and Botany. And without looking back over the long cat- alogues of illustrious names, both ancient and modern, that have filled and adorned the annals of husbandry, it is surely enough for the pride ofan American that he whom the world looks upon as the greatest and best of men wasa tiller of the soil by choice, a hero and states- man by the choice of bis countrymen, who, af. | ter having successfully led them through the | bloody struggles of the Revolution—afier having laid the solid foundations ot an enduring pros- perity and freedom, returned again with spirit and zealto the favorite employment of bis younger years. And bad not the rugged and fearful crisis of the age in which he lived, call- ed forth his rare talent tocommand and govern, the name, and fame and example of Washing. the colony of Virginia. I do not wish to be understood as urging you to the adoption of agricultural pursuits and labors as the sole business of your lives, nor by any means to dissuade you from entering upoo what is usually called the learned professions ; but I ton, would have been unknown to the world, in any other light than a distinguished planter in ‘o your adoption, the plan of combining the cul. tivation uf the soil, either upon a larger or small- er scale, with whatever profession or business you may adopt as your employment through life, and the entrance upon this collateral pursuit with animation and zeal. And it is not so much for your own advantage as that of others, that I press this course upon you, as opening up a field of usefulness, where by your influence and example, you can benefit your neighbors, at the same lime you are adding to your own stock of healih and comfort. We have now living ma. ny itlustrious examples of the successful combi. nation of agricultural pursuits with extensive and complicated professional duties, two of whom may be named, in the persons of Mr. Clay and Mr. Webster, both lawyers at the head of their profession, both masters of a most powerful and commanding oratory, both states. men, who have for years been the leaders of a strong and talented party, both farmers, throw- ing the lights of theit matured mind into the cultivation of the soil, and stimulating their neighbors by their enlightened example. An- other instance and one in our own State may be named, in the person of the present Chief Justice of North Carolina, who, though possess. ing a legal mind and juridical acquirements which would qualify him for any bench in Amer. ica, has been for many years devoted to agri- cultural pursuits, and has most gracefully woven the chaplets of Ceres around the black letter of the Law. To bring the agriculture of our State, under a more enlightened system by the dissemina- tion of knowledge, the formation of agricultural associations, the application of science, and the force of enlightened example, will be a public venefaction entitling those who undertake and accomplish it to the gratitude of the communi ty. And although men educated, and habitua- ted in talse theories and mistaken practices, abandon them with reluctance, and adopt new and untried courses, with doubt and hesitation ; yet there is a way in which they can be effect- ually taught by the force of example. Let them see that barren wastes can be clothed with ver- dure,—that exhausted and abandoned fields can be loaded with grain,—that the pestilent marsh can be made to lose ils poisonous properties and yield luxurious crops to the use of its own. er,—that the cotton stalk, the tobacco stalk, and the corn stalk, can be made to flourish, in place of the brier and the thorn. Let them see that the habitation of the husbandman can be con. structed with a view both to neatness and com. fort. ‘That his home can be surrounded with refreshing fruits and shades, and regaled with a fragrance sweet as “ Sabean odors, from the spicy shore Of Araby, the blest,” and at the same time his wealth augmented ; and you will address arguments to them which will bind them like a spell to their native home, and stimulate them in a course of enlightened industry. Statistics of Wagons.—We are indebted to Mr. Rose, of the Plank Road Office, for the fol. lowing statement, showing a very large increase of the number of vehicles passing the Toll Gate for six months of this year over the correspon. by throwing themselves into the sea, and being picked up by a third boat. The whale was then harpooned from the ship itself, whieh he instantly attacked, struck her with tremendous violence, shaking her from stem to stern. She quivered under the violence of the shock, as if she had struck upona rock! Capt. Deblois immediately descended into the furcastle, and there to his horror, discovered that the manster had struck the ship abgyt two feet from the keel, abreast the foremast, knocking a great hole entirely through her bottom, through which the water rushed impetuoysly! She sunk ina few hours, the crew taking to their boats, with scarcely any provisions or water. ‘Two days after, they fell in with a vessel, which took them,on board. This is a wonderful instance of the power of the whale. THE NEXT PRESIDENCY. We find much speculation among the partizan presses of other States as to the next Presidential election—and who are to be the candidates of the different parties. The Whigs seem pretty generally. (South at least) to have settled down on FILuMorE, of New York, and Grauam, of North Car- olina; while the Democrats are widely divided between the different@claims of Dauuas, Bucuanan, Cass, ; Dickinson. The late elections in Penans§vania having resulted in the success of the Democrats, the aspirants of that party cling with te- nacity to “theirclaims,” as they deem the prospect of success so bright. We differ - with the democratic press in a measure, for we cannot believe the Pennsylvania election to be the harbinger of so much good, as at first may be supposed. The friends of Messrs. Dautas and Bucaanan can hardly be brought to surrender their candidate, therefore without more pra- dence than has heretofore characterized either of the parties North, the State must be carried by the Whigs. The States were evenly divided the last eleclion—wa see no reason why any otherchange should be effected than such as must result from the inability of the parties to agree among themselves. If Dallas or Buchanan re- ceive the nomination, Pennsylvania will be divided; if neither, the State is gone over to the Whigs. This is an ugly position for a party to be placed in, but such we believe is the unfortunate posi- tion of the Democrats of Pennsylvania. For our part, we wish South Carolina to stand aloof from the contest®but if she must take part init, let her prayer be * good Lord, good Devil” for it makes lit- tle difference to her whose hands she falls in, now.— The Remedy. PROPOSED DIVISION OF OREGON. A movement has lately been set on foot by the settlers in Oregon Territory which bas for its object the organization of a separate Terri- torial Government for that portion which lies to the north of the Columbia river. It is to be called the Columbia Territory, and throughout its vast extent is well adapted to agriculture, commerce, and manufacturing. The total ab- sence of all municipal law and civil officers, the great distance from the seat of the present Government, and the isolated situation of this part of the Territory therefrom, and many oth- er reasons, are urged as to the propriety of the organization of a separate Territorial Govern. ment. For the promotion of this ubject a Con. vention of twenty-five delegates assembled at Carolitz, Lewis county, on the 29th of August, and, alter discussing the matter, unanimously adopted the following resolution ; * That a cammittee of three be appointed by the President of the Convention to prepare a ding six months of last year :— Comparative Table, shewing the number of | Wagons and other vehicles passing the Toll | Gate on Haymount, F. & W.

Duel with Poison.—Lola Montes, it seems, has challanged, or rather threatened to chal. lenge, the editor of the Paris Constitutionnel to mortal combat with pills. Her letter tothe | redacteur appears in the Journal du Havre. After accusing him of resorting to false hood, perfidy and ridicule to revenge himself upon ‘“a feeble lady,” the feeble lady winds up her letter with the following paragraph. | “If you continue, sir, I will be obliged to | send you my card, and my seconds, to put an | end to your ridiculous animosity ; bur it will not | be with pistols. I am more generous in a com. bat. I will offer to youtwe pills, in a box; one of them will be poisened ; and you will not be able to refuse a duel with arms which are | | | so familiar to you. I have the honor of salu- | ling you, | Lora Montes.” A pill duel! What a medicinal idea! This is making honor a drug and fighting by the pharmacopzia. | | Hoarding Wealth for Children.—We say to | parents, beware how you endanger the future character and happiness of your children, by | hoarding wealth for them to possess. If you | wish them to form idle and vicious habits and | companions—to grow up incapable of manly ex. ertion and true independence—or if you wish to set a snare to entrap mere fortune hunters for your daughters’ husbands, doubtless the course, is to huard all you can, and to let them understand from childhood that it is for them. But if you wish your children to be industrious, independent, self-relying and happy, they must be taught to depend upon their own exertions. Give them a good education: give them trades or professions; but give them not the means o liviog without care and exertion. Destruction of a Whale Ship by a Whale.— Capt. Deblois, master of the New Bedford whale ship Ann Alexander, has arrived at New York in the steamer Cherokee, and re- orts the immediate sinking of his ship in the South Pacific ocean, on the 20th of August last, by a blow from a whale which they were en- deavoring to capture. The whale, after being harpvoned, and running some distance, had turned upon two of the ship’s boats, and crush. ed them in succession in its ponderous jaws, desise to call to your attention and recommend the crews, nine in each, providentially escaping ers.

Garments without Seams '!—The Scien- tific American says :— “Samuel M. Perkins. of Springfield, Bradtord Co.. Pa., has invented improve- ments in the manufacture of garments, whereby we shall be enabled to wear coats and all such habiliments, independent of the weaver or tailor. The nature of the improvement consists in causing the bat, or fleece of wool, cotton, or other fibrous material, as it issues from the carding ma- chine, to be wrapped on a “Former” of the required shape of the desired garment. The “ Former” is made to revolve, and at the same time it has a reciprocating motion in a direction at right angles to the feed, so that the fleece will be wrap- ped spirally in contrary courses upon the “Former” for any number of layers in | succession, according to the thickness of ‘the garment required tobe made. Meas- ures have been taken to secure a patent.” | Gen. Cary, the Temperance Lecturer, is | reported in the Cincinnati Nonpareil as fol- ‘lows: speaking of distilleries about Cincinnatit: | He said that a good Methodist owns a distil- lery that turns out forty barrels a day—and the ‘old man takes up his hymn book every day and | sings, | “Come thou fount of every blessing,” [roars of laughter] and as he looks at his pro- lific fount he doubtless sings with much truth, Streams of mercy never ceasing.” Diamonds almost always communicate their hardness to those who wear them. ° rom the Raleigh Register. ; WHIG MEETING IN GRA VILLE. o notice, previously given, & large e Whigs of Granville assembled in ose, in the ‘Town of Oxford, on » 4h day of November, when, on Jno R Herndon, Edmund Townes, sled to the chair, and Joseph J. red Secretary. 3.

He spoke of the denunciation which | had been heaped upon Mr. Fillmore for his ex- | ertions to suppress the recent unfortunate ex- | peditions against Cuba. He had done nothing , more nor less than bis duty, than what the | laws imperiously demanded of him. He had | maintained in good faith our treaty stipulations with Spain.

In his message to Congress in 1806 | _ he denounced the expedition of Miranda, which, | | though it resembled in most respects that of | Lopez, was entitled to much more sympathy | from our people. He openly proclaimed such, | expedititions against a friendly nation, as vio. lations of law, and ‘contrary to that good faith, | which ought ever to be the rule of actiou, in| public as well as in private transactions.? Mr. | Monroe was governed by the same policy, the | same elevated principle towards Spin and her. ‘colonies. And had the enemies of Mr. Fill. | more forgotten so soon the seutiments contain. /ed in the Proclamation of iheir once favorite | | leader, Van Buren, in apposition to the move. | ments of those, who, sympathizing with the- Canadian patriots, threatened to invade that | | country! Sie warned them in the most em. | phatic terms against the legal consequences of | such conduct. He told them that no matter to | what condition they might be reduced, “they | were not to expect the interterence of the Uni. | ited States in any form on their behalf,” but | they would * be left, reproached by every vir- | | (uous cilizen to be dealt with according to the | | policy and justice of that Governmeut, whose | ' dominions they had in defiance of the known | wishes and efforts of their own Government and without the shadow of justification or ex. | | cuse, nefariously invaded.” Such was the lan. | guage of bis proclamation, and such was the | spirit with which be rebuked and endeavored | to check expeditions against the colonies of | England. His course was approved by the en. | tire Democracy. It he was right, how is it) | that Mr. Fillmore was wrong. Did the strength | and power of Britain furnish the reason for the | policy inthe one case, whilst in the other the _ weakness ot Spain should justify the most nefa. rious violations of national faith and treaty obligations! It was no better than the princi- | ple which governed the pirate and the robber ! [t was a base and cowardly principle, and the awful judgment of Heaven would rest on that people who can so far forget right and justice | and give themselves up to rapine and bloodshed! | The course adopted by the President and his | Cabinet was honorable to the nation, and | should elicit the commendation of all who love peace, and detest the Punic faith aad spirit of | rapine which so frequently govern the conduct | of Nations! Had he acted otherwise he would | have been denounced by his adversaries as | weak pusillanimous, faithless to his trust, and | reaardless to the sacred obligations of his oath! | He has been true to the laws, true to the char- | acter of the country, true to the rights of all | sections ; could any man have done more?— | He has carried us safely thus far, through a fiery i crisis. In the midst of difficulties and embar. | rassments which were pressing upon him, he has never for a moment hesitated to encounter | them with a bold heart and resolute purpose. Is not such a man worthy to de trusted? Could | any one furnish stronger proof of his patriotism? | Fanaticism may denounce such a man, faction | may pour out upon him its envenomed abuse, | ‘but not until justice is forgotten or discarded, | will the gratitude of the wise and good cease to fullow him! He may be defeated, but be | will leave the impress of his firmness and pat. | riotism on the age in which he has lived, and |long after the party rancor of the day shall | have passed away, will his administration Le | | regarded as one of the brightest pages in the | | history of his country. Mr. M., continued: He had but a few re. | marks to make on the Resolution expressing | confidence in the ability and integrity of Will. j}iam A. Graham. He was well known person- ally to those present, and he [Mr. M.,] could | say with sincerity that he did not believe the | whole country could furnish a truer man and a | firmer patriot, one who would fill the high of. | ‘fice, for which he has been recommended by | | many of his countrymen, with more credil to | | himself and honor to the nation. Ee had been ofieu tried, and had never been found wanting. He was a patriot, every inch a patriot, with sa- gacity to see the right, and with the courage, in the face of every danger, to pursue it.—He had never swerved from the straight path of du. | ty to gain temporary popularity or political suc- _ cess, and should he be elevated to the office of Vice President he will serve the country and not a party, go for the Union and not to be the ‘tool of faction or the representative of a section. He might appeal to the political opponents of Mr. G., for the truth of what he said. Is there | one in the State who would not feel proud to. see him honored by his countrymen? Are all the sentiments of a generous State pride, to be swallowed up in the vortex of an illiberal parti- zanship ? He hoped nct. He hoped the day had not passed when North Carolina should | , feel too humble, to demand for her sons, whether they would be Whigs or Democrats, a just and | fair participation in the honors of that Govern. | ment, for the independence and glory of which, | their fathers blood was shed as freely as that | ot any who went forth to battle in the days of | the Revolution. In conclusion, Mr. M., entreated the Whigs | to throw aside all luke. warmness, and section. | | al bickerings, and rally around their time-hon- | ,ored banner. ‘The approaching Presidential | a faithful adherance to, and * Compromise in all its parts, ble devotion to the constitulion Union as it is’—that Constitaff@m and Union which were gained by the trials and -blood of the Revolution, which were roeked in their in- fancy, by Washington and his compeers, and which are now gazed on, by the whole world, with an anxious solicitude that they may be perpetual. Under this banner let the Whigs, let all true patriots fight. It is the cause of the country, the cause of free Government, and sooner or later, if good men do their duty, it will gain a permanent triumph, over that spirit of discord and fanaticism which threatens its - destruction ! Afier Mr. Miller had closed, Dr. Russell was loudly called for, who responded with a speech abounding with wit and humor. Dr. R. was not accustomed to public speaking, but he could not refuse when called to battle in the good cause. He passed a high eulogy onthe Ad- ministration: It had acted nobly—dispelled Washington had a. | the fears of its friends, if its friends ever had | | vowed and acted on the same principles; Jef. any fears—confounded and blasted the hopes | of its enemies—and was fairly entitled to the declaration from the people of * well done, thou good and faithful servant.” Hoe dealt hardly, though justly, with the Abolitionists, Seces- sicnists and Filibusters (the latter, by interpre- tation, * precious rascals.”’) They are all of a class—al! of the same price—they were those who were always for the last war and the next—they could live only on agitation— like scum, they could rise tothe top only when | the waters were muddied. He had no fellow- ship with them. Dr. Russel was applauded enthusiastically throughout. Mr. Amis was then called for, and respon- ded briefly in a strong and forcible speech. He was decidedly for the administration. By its acts, it demanded the approbation of the whole country. He believed that the people of the Country would sustain it. It had the | confidence of the people. Dr. Herndon moved that the proceedings of this meeting be published in the Raleigh Whig papers with a request that the Whig papers of the State copy. EDMUND TOWNES, Ch’m. Josern J. Davis, Secretary. From the Greensboro’ Patriot. WHIG MEETING IN RANDOLPH. At a meeting of the Whigs of Randolph, as- sembled by proclamation in the courthouse on the 4th day of November, it being Tuesday of County Court, John B. Troy, Esq., was called to the chair, and Alfred Brower was requested | toact as secretary. At the request of the chairman, Henry B. Elliott, Esq., explained the objects of the meet- ing, and at the conclusion of his remarks offer- ed the following resolutions : The Whigs of Randolph desire to express tneir concurrence in the recent movement of | the Whigs of Guilford, and to co-operate with them, for the purpose of * renewing and strength ening the old bonds of fraternity, of consulting forthe common safety, and of preparing for the campaign of 1852.’ Therefore it is Resolved, That they will send twenty dele. gates to the Whig State Convention proposed to be held in Greensborough on the third Mon. day in February next, or at such other time and place as may be fixed on, and that said del- egates be appointed by the chairman of this meeting. Resolved, That Millard Fillmore, by the bold, honest, and fearless discharge of his du- ties, and by the conservative and national con. duct of his administration, has fulfilled the re- quirements of his ‘ great office,’ and the whigs of Randolph are willing and anxious to rally under his banner in the great presidential campaign in 1802. Resolved, That North Carolina has given repeated manifestations of fidelity to the great conservative principles of the Whig party and of devotion to the union, and if she does take ' her ‘accustomed sleep’ she has never been caught napping over the cinere deloso, the trea. cherous embers of secession and disunion. And she appeals tothe Whigs of the Union to recognize that fidelity and devotion, by eleva. ting to the oflice of vice President of the United States, her favorite son William A. Graham, a worthy son of a noble sire—a gentleman who has proved himself true to the Revolutionary traditions of his native state, and who has illus. trated in his life and character the qualities ' which constitute the gentleman, the scholar, and the statesman. Resolved, ‘That we have seen with deep re- gret, that some of our whig brethren have been led into the bogs and sloughs of Abolitionism, by following afier designing and mercenary guides, who have abused and taken advantage of their human impulses, by preaching a false, mawkish, and delusive philanthropy ; and we | ‘advise them ina feeling of political brother. | hood, to come out from amongst such danger- ous associates, and no longer hold communion with these conspiraters against the peace and perpetuity of the Union. Resolved, That the Whigs of Randolph are Union men good and true. Butif their humble voice might be heard, they would invoke the men of all parties atthe north to bear it in) mind, that the Union may yet be dissolved by violence and fanaticism—that scenes similar to those enacted at Christiana and Syracuse, if often repeated, will rend asunder the bonds | of this union, as did Sampson the withes of the | Philistines,—that there is a point beyond which | southern endurance cannot go, and that ifthere is not sufficient of law abiding feeling to put | | down fanaticism and resistance to the law, and rebellion at the north, the south may be driven by a feeling of blind desperation to pull down > the pillars of the American Union though we perish in the ruins.

NOTES ON NEW BOOKS Historreat Sxercnes or Norta Carouina, from 1584 to 1851, compiled from origt- nal statements, with biographical sketches of her distinguished statesmen, jurisis, lawyers, soldiers, divines, &c., by Joun H. Wueexer, late Treasuser of the State. Philadelphia, Lippincott,Grambo& Co., 1851. . The Rev. Mr. Foote, of Virginia, states in a recent work that “men will not be able to understand North Carolina until they have opened the treasuries of history and become familiar with the doings of her sons previous to the revolution and during that painful struggle. Then will North Carolina be respected as she is known.” We have perused these pages of Mr. Wheeler with unalloyed pleasure. He proves, by authority, and an accurate map which adorns the first volume, that North Carolina was the first State upon which the Anglo-Saxon landed, in 1584. He appers to have examined with much zeal, industry, and commendable care ev ery author and authority on her history from that date to the present. We were surprised as well as gratified to see in the book (which has of course but just issued from the press) an excellent article, correc- ted and improved, copied from the Nation- al Intelligencer, in which it appeared less than three weeks ago, on the life of Gover- ' nor Joun Sevier, who was distinguished in the early history of North Carolina.— By the aid of Hon. George Bancroft, late our Envoy in England, the author has had access to the colonial records in the offi- ces of the Board of Trade and Plantations in London, and presents to us many rare and rich records, redolent with patriotism and valor, never before published, illustra- tive of the early times of North Carolina. This of itself renders the work invaluble. The archives of his own State, which were opened to his examination by an act of the Legislature, have been eviscerated, and the record of names which he pre- sents, even toour own mind, revives ma- ny a long-gone associate, and awakes “ thoughts that long have slept.” Then the author, who is a native of the State, and for nearly a quarter of a cen- tury associated with her history, in either a legislative or execulive capacity, pre- sents to us dates of birth, lives and char- acter of her sons without prejudice or par- tiality. His materials have been rich and am. ple, and he has made good use of them. His documents, procured from London, as to the affairs of the Regulation during the administration of Governor Tyson, the bloody “ wolf of Carolina,” prove that in 1771, the first blood of the colonists was in North Carolina by the royal troops of England in defence of liberty. His documents, from the same source, place the Mecklenburg declaration, in May, 1775, beyond all qnestion or cavil. His portraits of Davie, Macon, Gaston, and others are true to life, and show that in this quiet and unobtrusive State “ some gems of purest ray serene” have existed, and whose services and virtues deserve eternal record. This work, too, presents an original de- sign by the Aathor, curious and unique.— In the second volume isa plate of a tree, on which every county is laid down with legal accurracy and correctness. This alone is worth the price of the work. Its dedication to Hon. George Bancroft, to our neighbor and friend Colonel Peter Force, to Hon. David L. Swain, President of the University, and to the young men of the State of Noth Carolina, is in good taste, concise, chaste and beautiful. To the good old State of North Carolina | doubtless the work is most welcome; for, | although early settled, full of incidents of patriotism and heroic daring, rich in men. tal and mineral wealth, less is known of her history than of that of any portion of our Republic. This work fills this hiatus in our national history. Not only to North Carolinians, but to her sons who have swarmed from the par- ent hive into the verdant valleys of the of their forefathers, and pure characters _ of their mothers. We predict for it a rapid circulation ; of ‘this there can be no question. if its suc- | cess is commensurate with its merits and ‘the industry which has been bestowed upon it. | “The work can be procured, we under. | stand, at the bookstores in this city. | Nat. Intelligencer. an DECISION IN THE METHODIST CHURCH CASE. | Inthe U.S. Circuit Court, at New York, ‘on Tuesday, Judges Nelson and Betts be- ing on the Bench, the opinion of the Court in the case of H. B. Bascom and others vs. George Lane and others was delivered by 'Judge Nelson, and we now expect that the controvesy between the Methodist Episcopal Church and the Methodist Epis- copal Church South, in relation to the di- _vision of property, will pe definitely set- tled. The case was argued several 'months ago by George Wood and Rufus Choate for Lord and Reverday Johnson for the com- plainants. We reported the facts at con- | siderable length at the time, and it is there- fore unnecessary to recapitulate them.— ~The commercial Advertiser gives the fol- lowing summary of the decision: The opinion of the Court is voluminous, and occupied an hour and a halfin its de- ‘livery. The greater part of the document consists ofa summary of the complaint and |answer. The first point considered is the power of the General Conference to au- ‘thorize a seperation, and this the Court hold to have beenclearly shown, “ Inde- pendent of property,” they say, “the pow- | er of severance is written upon every page of their proceeding.” They then advert | to the plan of separation in 1844, by which ‘the only condition upon which a perman- ent seperate organization was made to depend was the voluntary action of the West, this work will show the patriotism | the defendants, and Daniel | ~ States. -These. Conferences determined upon the separation, and ipso facto it be- came complete. It was stipulated in the lan of severance that ministers might at- tach themselves without blame to either branch of the Church, and the local pro- perty within the limits of each branch was not to be claimed by the other. The gen- eral property, such as notes, the book con- cern, &c., was reserved for disposal upon equitable principles after further consid- eration, it being considered essential be- fore this part of the division could be ac- complished that two-thirds of the Annual Conferences, North and South, should con. sent to the repeal of the sixth restrictive article of the church. This article not having been so repealed, the Court held that if there was no ot the case, the Methodist Episcopa South might not perhaps be entitled to @ share of the property. Bat the rights of the Church South might not perkaps be entitled toa share of the property. But the rights of the Church South rest upon es- tablished principles of law and equity, which make it the duty of a Court of Chancery to interfere and see that the fund is properly distributed, especially as it is by no means certain that the distri- bution claimed would be even in contra- vention of the sixth restrictive article.— South done to deprive themselves of their rights to the fund? It was agreed on all bands that two distinct ecclesiastical or- ganizations, though identically the same in faith and discipline, were necessary for the promotion of their holy mission “ to spread gospel holiness through these lands,” and by the plan of separation minis- ters were permitted to attach themselvesto either without blame. The complainants are among the very persons designed by the spirit if not by the letter of the article. “ Upon the whole, our conclusion is that the complainants are entitled to their share of the produce of the Book Concern, and a decree will be ordered accordingly. Whether the fund shall be administered by an application of the produce pro rata, or by an apportionment of the capital, are questions reserved until the settlement of the decree.” The decision concludes by expressing the hope that an arrangement may yet be effected in a spirit of harmony and chris- tian feeling, without the legal enforce- ment of the decree. M. KOSSUTH AND THE OFFICERS OF THE FRIGATE MISSISSIPPI. The [editor of the New York Times gives the following explicit statement of an interview between himself and the of.- ficers of the Mississippi, in contradiction of certain stories censuring the conduct of Kossuth while on board that vessel: The Mississppi arrived at this port yes- terday morning, and now lies at the Na- vy Yard. We paid her a visit during the day, for the express purpose of ascertain- ing from her officers the truth or falsehood of the statements which have been circu- lated in this country upon that subject.— Their style of comment was emphatic ra- ther than complimentary. They did not hesitate to brand every one of them, which asserted or implied any thing derogatory to Kossuth, or any thing like a difference between him and the officers of the Mis- sissippi, as deliberate fabrications, for which not even the shadow of foundation had ever existed. The officers had instruction from the Navy Department to treat Kossuth not only as the guest of the nation, but as the recipient of their hospitality also. From the moment he came on board at Constan- tinople until he left the vessel at Gibral.- tar, none but the most friendly feelings prevailed between himand every officer on board. He made no demand to be lan- ded any where, nor did he request or sug- gest that the vessel should touch at any port on the Mediterranean, for the pur- pose of enabling him to “ make a demon- stration.” or for any other purpose what- ever. The frigate had positive orders to touch at Smyrna and at Spezzia: at both those places numbers of the inhabitants / came to see Kossuth, and at hoth he was greeted with applause. But he did noth- ing but return his thanks for these demon- Strations of respect, and said nothing attempt to stir up disaffection. “HE HAS BEEN A TRUE MAN.” The growing popularity of Mr. Frttmore is beginning to occasion the leaders of the De- mocracy much concern. They have taxed |their ingenuity to find some objection to his | way of administering the Government, but it | has been in vain.— They began by predicting | that he would not execute the Fugitive law, | but in this they have been compelled to admit, ‘they did him injustice. His firm and prompt | | efforis to put down all opposition to the faithful execution of this branch of the Compromise | have extorted commendation from some of his : Most uncompromising opponents. He has fa- | vored no section in his exertions to carry out | his Constitutional obligations, and perforin in | good faith, all the duiies which the laws impose |on him. We have before us a letter on busi- | ness, from a genuine Democrat, in which he | takes occasion to say: ‘* So far asthe Execu. tion of the laws go, Mr. Frtitmore has been a |true man.” <A candid and just admission! And who can gainsay it? Ral. Register. MELANCHOLY CASUALTY.

SMALL HORSES. The arguments may all be iu favor of great size, but the facts are all the other way.— Large borses are more liable to stumble and be lame than those of the middle sige.— They are clumsy and cannot fill themselves so quick. Overgrown animals of all descriptions are less useful in must kinds of business and less bardy than those of a smaller size. theory is to be resorted to in order to deter. mine such questions, we suggest to the lovers of overgrown animals, tbe fullowing : The lar. gest of any class of unnatural growth. They have risen above the usual mark, and it costs more to keep them in position, than it would were they on a level witb their species. ** Fol- low nature,” is a rule not to be forgotten by farmers. Large men are vot the best for bu- | siness; large cows are not the best for milk ; large oxen are not the best for travelling ; large hogs are not the hogs to fatten best ; and large hens are not the best to lay eggs. Extremes are tu be avoided. We want well formed ani. mals rather tnan such as have large bones. Odd as it may seem to the theorist, short-leg- ged soldiers are better on a march, and the officers say they endure hardships longer than those of longer limbs. On chvosing a horse. take care by all means that bis hind legs are short. If they are long and split a part like a pair of dividers, never inquire the price of the horse dealer; run for your life, and make no offer that can be taken up. Horses that are snug built are not always fasi travellers. [tis bo easy matter to select a horse that is perfect in all points. Snug and tough bors~s are vot fast on the road. ‘The fastest trotters are not inade for very bard service.

G ERMANTON LODGE No. 116 of Ancient York Masons, take pleasure in informing their breth- ren of the order, and the public generully, that they are about establishing at Germanton, an institution of a high grade of scholarship, for the education of males. They, with many others, having long felt the want of a school of this character in this part of the South, have taken measures to build up an institution that will give to our young men every advantage for obtaining a thorougn education in any part, or the whole of a Col- lege Course. Students can be prepared for any of the College classes. Mr. George M. Everhart has been elected by the Board of Trustees as the Principal. Mr. Everhart has had the experience of nearly seven years as Teacher— four years as ihe Principal of an Academy, and three as an instructor in one of the most popular colleges in the South. Marked success has attended his efforts in , each of these departments. Moreover, if scholarship | and untiring energy and a devotion to his profession, can recommend hiin to our people, he surely will re- | ceive their entire confidence. Several competent as- sistants will aid him, and such other means will be em- | ployed that shall raise the School at once to a position | of superior usefulness. The Editice is a very large and elegant brick build- ing. Germanton is remarkable for its healthy location, and the morality of its citizens. Board can be obtain ed in cur best families at the low price of $6 per ; month. The scholastic year is divided into two unequal ses- sions, the first commencing on Thursday, the Ist of January, 1852, contiues 15 weeks. The second com- mencing on the third Monday in June, continues 27 weeks. The prices of tuition are as follows: Ancient Languages, $25 per year.

HERE is a fair prospect of a Company of North- ern Mechanics and Manufacturers settling on the Eagle or South Eugle Tract. The South Eagle Tract is adjoining the Eagle,on both of which is a splendid water power of great force. I havea beautiful piece of | Land in the South Eagle Tract which I propose to lay off in small lots of one fourth of an acre each, for the ac- commodation of Merchants, Doctors, and Mechanics. All such persons would do well to give this rising place due attention. “There is a tide in the affairs of men Which, taken at its flood, Leads on to” happiness and wealth. Here isa chance. Capitalists would also do well to look this way. Ineeda little help to carry on more suc- cessfully, the enterprises in which I am engaged and on which I propose to enter. I am steadily progressing, however, though slowty, with my original schemes, to wit: the erection of Factories for spinning cotton and wool, and for calico printing. But as I advance the prospect opens up, and invites to larger and more fruitful fields. This location for manufacturing purposes and for a Town, is very favorable. It is near enough to the great Central Rail Road, and ina very healthy region of Country. IT will sell lots privately on the most favorable terms to suit purchasers. The water power on the South Eagle Tract, is immense, and capable of driving almost any atnount of Machinery. Early applications either for lots or an interest in the present or proposed enterprises will receive the most favorable offers. e 3m4 ANDREW RAGGARLY. Iredell Couniy, N.

Having been afflicted and cured, he has turned his attention to treating all such diseases, and from the success he has already had in effecting cures, he flatters himself that he will be able generally to relieve all who may call on me, if not in the last stages. I would say to all who are afflicted | with such diseases to come and see me, and inquire in- to this matter, and consult those whom I have cured : and if after investigation you think that I can relieve you, and I think your case is not too far gone, I will then proceed and give you the best attention I can. In moderate cases I think I will be able to cure in from four to six weeks; but in extreme cases it will require longer time. My remedy is without the knife, nor do I use Arsenic or Aquafortis as some have imagined. My medicine is somewhat severe, but my operation short in moderate cases, lasting from three to five hours.

Important events followed this change, but a veil of obscurity rests over the causes that produced them. After some months’ residence in the city, ber health failed more and more, and she returned tothe country. She wasstill com- petent to discharge the lighter duties of household labor, but she seemed to per- form them all mechanically, and with a dull stupor. After a time, it became ob- vious that she would again be a mother. When questioned, her answers were in- coherent and contradictory. At last she gave birth totwins. She wept when she saw them ; but they seemed to have pow- er to withdraw her mind from its discon- solate wanderings. When they were a few months old, ’she expressed a wish to see Philadelphia; and a lad belonging to the family where she had remained du- ring her illness, agreed to convey her part of the way in a wagon. When they came into the public road, she told him she could walk the rest of the way, and begged him to return. He left her seated on a rock near a thick grove, nursing her babes.— She was calm and gentle, but abstracted as usual. That was in the morning.— Where or how she spent the day was nev- er known. ‘Toward night she arrived in and miserable: what few words she said were abrupt and unmeaning ; and her at- titudes and motions had the sluggish apa- thy of an insane person. that two strangled infants had been found in a grove on the road from Chester. course this circumstance soon became connected with her name. When she was arrested, she gave herself up with the | same gloomy indifference that marked | all her actions. She denied having com. | mitted the murder; but when asked who | she supposed had done it, she sometimes | shuddered and said nothing, sometimes | said she did not know, and sometimes an- | swered that the children were still living. | When conveyed to prison, she asked for | pen and ink; and ina short letter rudely” penned, she begged William to come to | her, and to bring from her bed room the | little blue bench they used to sit upon in) the happy days of childhood.

I don’t know—I don’t _know—but I guess they are,’ To the lawyer she would say nothing _except to deny that she committed the ;murder. All their exertions could wring |from her nothing more distinct than the story she had briefly told her brother.— During her trial, the expression of her | countenance was stupid and vacant. At times she would drum on the railing be- fore her, and stare round on the crowd with a bewildered look, as if unconscious where she was. The deranged state of | her mind was strongly urged by her law- yer; but his opponent replied that all this |might be assumed. To the story she had | told in prison, it was answered, that her /not teliing of her murder at the time, |made her an accomplice. After the usu- | al display of legal ingenuity on both sides, |the jury brought ber in guilty of murder, and the poor forlorn creature was sen- tenced to be hung at Chester. The wretched brother was stunned by | the blow, that at first he could not collect | his thoughts. But it soon occurred to him, that the terrible doom might still be ar- rested, if the case could be brought suit- |ably before the governor. A petition was 'accordingly drawn up, setting forth the ' alienation of the mind to which she had been subjected, in consequence of fits, and | the the extreme doubtfulness whether she |committed the murder. Her youth, her | beauty, the severe sorrows of life, and the obviously impaired state of her reason, ‘touched many hearts, and the petition was /rapidly signed. When William went to her cell to bid her adieu, he tried to cheer her with the hope of pardon. She listen- ed with listless apathy. But when he pressed her hand, and with a mournful smile, said, “Good bye. dear Lizzy; I shall come back soon, and I hope with good news,” she pointed tearfully to the little blue bench, and said, “ Let what will happen, Willie, take care of that, for my sake.” He answered with a choked voice; and he turned away, the tears flowed fast down his manly cheeks. She listened to the echoes of his steps, and when she could hear them no longer, she threw herself on the floor, laid her head down on the little blue bench. kissed the letters carved upon it, and sobbed as she had not sobbed since she was first desert- ed by her false lover. When the jailor went in to carry her supper, he found her asleep thus: rich masses of her glossy brown hair fell over her pale but still lovely face, on which rested a serene smile, as if she were happy in her dreams. | \ ! hard hand brushed away a tear. Some motion that he made disturbed her slum- ber. She opened ber eyes, from which there beamed for a moment arational and happy expression, as she said “ ] was out in the woods behind the house, holding my little apron to catch the nuts that Willie threw down. Mother smiled at me from a blue place between two clouds, and said, ‘Come to me, my child.” The next day a clergyman came to see her. He spoke of the penalty for sin, and the duty of being resigned to the demands , of justice. She heard his words as a mo- ther hears street sounds whensheis watch- ing a dying babe. They conveyed to her |no import. When asked if she repented of her sins, she said she had been a weak, ‘erring creature, and she hoped that she | was penitent ; but that she never commit- 'ted the marder. ‘Are you resigned to die, if a pardon should not be obtained ?’ he asked. _ | ‘Oh, yes, she replied, ‘1 want to die.’ | He prayed with her in a spirit of real human love ; and this soothed her heart. | She spoke seldom after her brother's de- | parture ; and often she did not appear to | bear when she was spoken to. She sat on the little blue bench, gazing vacantly on the floor, like one already out of the country was inundated with heavy rains, which everywhere impeded his progress. He stopped neither for food nor rest; but everywhere the floods and broken roads hindered his progress. When he came to Darby Creek—which was usually forda- ble—it was swollen too high to be cross- ed. and it was sometime before a boat could be obtained. In an agony of mind he pressed onward. till his horse fell dead under him. Half frantic, he begged for another at any price—mounted, and rode furiously. From the top of a hill he saw a crowd assembled round the place of ex- ecution. He waved his handkerchief— he shouted—he screamed; but, in the ex- citement of the moment, he was not heard or noticed. Alleyes were fastened on the gallows ; and soon the awful object came within his own visiof. Father of mercies! there are women’s garments floating in the air! There is a struggling, a quiver- ing—and all is still. With a shriek that pierced the ears of the multitude, the desperate rider plunged forward. His horse fell under him, and, shouting “ A pardon —a pardon ! he roll- ed senseless onthe ground. He came too late. The unhappy Elizabeth was dead. She had gone to ‘¢ Him who made the heart, And who alone decidedly can try it ; Then at the balance let’s be mute— We never can adjust it. What’s done, we partly may compute, But know not what’s resisted.” Pale as a ghost, with hair suddenly whitened by excess of anguish, the wretch- ed brother bent over the corpse of that beautiful sister whom he had loved so well. They spoke to him of resignation to God’s will. He answered not—for it was not clear to him that the cruelty of man is the willof God. Reverently and tenderly he cut from that fair brow the favorite little curl, twined about with so many sacred memories, and once a source of girlish, innocent joy to the yearning heart that slept so calmly now. He took the little bench from its cold | corner in the prison, and, gathering togeth- er his small personal property, he retired to a lonely cave in Dauphin county. He shunned all intercourse with his fellow- men, and, when spoken to, answered brief- ly and solemnly. There he died a few years ago, at an advanced age. He is well remembered in the region round a.- | bout, as Wiuuiam, THE Hermit. DR. GRAHAM’S ANNIHILATOR. Dr. Grauam has been in our village | some days and has had a model of his | Annihilator made with which he purpo- 4 o'clock, and Avery immediately advanced towards him, presented a pistol and fired ; the ball passed through his body in the region of the heart—cutting the lower part of the heart and he fell and expired in a few moments. Avery immediately surrendered himself to the civil authorities and was conveyed to jail. Court being in session at the time he has prob. ably had his trial before now, and we hope to be able to give the result in a postscript. The difficulty which has led to this result had its origin at McDowell Court, some three weeks ago. Mr. Avery, asa lawyer, made some remarks in the Court House which FLEMMING construed as reflecting upon his character. After the adjournment of Court, as AVERY was passing from the Court House to his room FLremmrine attacked him with a cow. hide. AvERY was unarmed and unprepared for the attack, having on his overcoat at the time ; but he struck Fremmine with his fist and knocked him partly down, when he (F.) picked up a rock with which he struck AVERY in or about the eye. Soon after this they were seperated, and as A. passed on to his room F. cursed him and told him he would fight him with ‘any thing, from the point of a pen-knife to the mouth of acannon.” The parties met no more until ‘Tuesday evening of last week, when Avery, as soon as he saw FLEMMING, advanced upon him and shot him dead as above stated. F. was armed with a Revolver, a Bowie knife and aspear at the time he was killed. He had evidently gone to Morganton expecting a rencontre, and probably determined to kill or be killed.— Mountain Banner. Seven Hundred Cannon at one Depot in Bos. ton Harbor.—For the defence of this port, and the supply of the United States steamers and other vessels stationed here, or built, or to be built in this quarter of the country, we are told thatthere are deposited at the Navy Yard at Charlestown, not less than seven hundred can. non.

Mississippi without a Governor.—The offices of Governor, President of the Senate, and Spea. | ker of the House of Representatives, having become vacant, the Secretary of State of Mis- sissippi has issued his proclamation calling the | Senate together on the 24th inst., that a Presi- dent thereof may be chosen to exercise the office of Governor until the first day of January. Mississippi thus presents the singular spec- tacle of being without a Governor till the Sen. | ate shall meet on the 24th and elect a Presi. dent. Gov. Gurion, who succeeded to the of. | fice, as President of the Senate, on the resigna. revelations made by science which have open. ed new views to man and enlarged the range of human thought ? First, let us notice some things around and below us. There is no great and general truth more important in its bearing on the whole eci- ence of Chemistry, than that of Definite Propor- tions, in the ingredients of compound bodies. — In fact, Mr. Babbage says that Dalton’s theory on this subject, first exalted Chemistry into the rank of ascience. We now know that every suqstance in nature, not an element is compos- ed of certain elements in invariable proportions. We see that the Great Author of Nature has followed a certain order and rul@in the creation of the world, and the organization of matter.— When we decompose the simplest fragment of matter, we see evidence of that mind that bath wisdom: we reverse the work of God. And what shall we say further when we look in the same direction, and following the lead of the celebrated Ehrenberg with his powerful microscope, we almost discover elementary molecules endowed with vitality ? Here is anew world opened beneath our feet; vast in extent, and as astonishing, both for multitude and the minuteness of its inhabitants, as can well beimayined. It could scarcely ex- cite greater wonder if the globe itself had been penetrated to its centre, and there had heen found an interior world with its own central lu. minary, with its own races of animals and plants. Who could have imagined al] matter quick with living being ! Who can tell “how deep progressive life may go,”’ when infusoriz ani- malcule are found so small that 500,000,000 of them can find ample space for their gamnbols in a drop of water?) And when the fossil re- mains of crustaceous animals are found so small that 40,000,000,000 of them only occupy the space of a cubic inch and these form vast beds ses visiting Washington soon to urge his {ion of Gov.

It is not only true that the ‘dust | we tread upon was once alive,’ itisalive. We need not resort to fiction for strange things, for truth is stranger. Fiction comes from the mind of man, but Truth from the all comprehending intellect. And whocan tell but, at length, as the instruments of discovery are improved and perfected in this direction, in the same degree that they are in the opposite, we may be able to discern the ultimate atoms of inert matter, and count out the particles that enter into any compound, though they are in weight and size inappreciable by any instruments at present ? And when we look at the progress of analy. sis what do we see? The ancients made but four elements: Air, Earth, Fire and Water.— | But how great the advance made upon that, when now we have fifiy-six elements—when more powerful instruments of research are brought into use, to separate elements in sub. stances that before were regarded as themselves elementary ; especially since Davy at the be. ginning of the century took the lead. A more | subtle analysis, and more strange and powerful /agents are brought into play than former ages, | and the old alchemists, dreamed of. ‘The hardest solids, even those most proverb. | ial for their hardness, as granite and adamant, } The Doctor says that he can project | the gas from his machine to an ordinary | RAIL ROAD Acein We NT. | can now be resolved into invisible gasses ; and We learn from the Charleston papers that a on the other hand, the most attenuated form of height, whereas that of Phillips only per- | dreadful accident happened on the Rail Road | matter, and the most subile fluids, can be con- mits it to escape.

(To be Continued.) CY. The newspapers of all parties, North and South, are busily engaged in discuss- ing the Presidential question. ‘The col- umns of our political exchanges are filled with speculations as to the candidates, calculations as to their strength, and prog- nostications as to their success or defeat. On the Whig side the principal candidates brought forward are Fillmore, Scott, Web- ster, Clay, and Crittenden. These gentle- men are all eminently qualified, true Na- tional Whigs, sound on the Slavery ques tion, and pledged to support the Compro- mise and to sustain the Constitutional rights of all the Statesin this Union. The selection of either of these distinguished Statesmen would no doubt receive the | hearty endorsement of the Whig party of the Union. We believe, however, says ! the Harrisburg Journal, and the “* signs | of the times” warrant the conclusion— , that Fillmore is the choice of the great | mass of the party, North and South, and | that his nomination by the National Con. | vention is no longer problematical. In | the South and South-west, particularly, | there is great unanimity among the Whigs | in favor of Mr. Fillmore. There, as well | asin the North, the people admire the | /man, and appreciate his patriotism and his services. He has beentried and found | | faithful to the great National interests. In | ‘the language of Gen. Cass, * the Admin- istration has placed itself high in the great | work of pacifying the country, and has. received the meed of approbation from po: | litical friends and fves.” Such is, emphat- | ically, May Fillmore’s high position ; and | | every one Must see that his name is now | |one of, if not the most, attractive on the | political chess-board. We have no besi- | tation in making the declaration that, in | }our opinion, Millard Fillmore is the most: | formidable candidate the Whig party can | | present; and that with him as our stand. | 'ard-bearer in the great contest of 1852, | | we would achieve a victory surpassing in | brilliancy and importance that of 1848, when the Whig forces were marshalled by the lamented Hero, the great and good | | Taylor. Peace to his ashes ! | We regret to observe a disposition man- | ifested in certain quarters to adhere to Presidential candidates, irrespective of | the action of a National Convention. The | Hollidaysburg Register throws out an intimation tbat the Whigs of Blair coun- ty “are determined to vote for General | ‘Scott ;” andthe York Advocate places the | name of Mr. Clay at its mast head, “ sub- | ject,” not to the decision of a National Convention, but “ to the will of the peo- ple.” Now we cannot believe that the mass of the Whigs in Blair and York sanction the course of these papers. How- | ever ardent and sincere in their attach- ments to the Hero of Mexico. and the Sage of Ashland, the Whigs of Blair and York are equally devoted to the cherish- ed Principles of the great Whig party, un- der whose time-honored flag they have so they will not sacrifice their principles, and their party and the country the party too, for mere selfish and person- al considerations. Weall love Scott and Clay—the one for his brilliant achieve- ments on the * tented field” in defence o the starry banner of his country—the otf er for his distingnished services in the councils of the Nation. Much as Whigs love these great men, however, they love ore. We, too, have our preferences, but looking to a National Convention as the only salva- tion of the Whig party, in the next con- test, we unhesitatingly avow our deter- mination to abide by the decision of that body. and cordially support its nominee, whether it be Fillmore, Scott, Webster, Clay, or any other good Whig who is | Pleiades, the very centre of the Universe, from | known to be unequivocally and ancondi- tionally for the compromise and the Un- ion asit is. None other need aspire to the honor of a Presidential nomination by the Whig party. We have a few words for our contem- poraries who counsel a different course, to which we ask their candid considera- tion. It is weil known that the Demo- erats will have a large majority in the next Congress, amounting to nearly sixty —a majority sufficiently large to enable them to pursue a definite course of action, leaving a large margia for bolters, free soilers, and the disaffected generally. It is also well known that among their se- veral candidates for the Presidency there is no one so popular and praminent as to override all others, and secure the votes of a majority of the people for the Chief Magistracy. As then the Locofocos will be sure of electing their man, if the elec- tion can be thrown into the House, they will most probably pursue such a course as to bring about that result. Such be- ing the facts, it become a serious ques- tion with the Whigs what course to pur- sue to counteract this policy and to secure their own triumph. It will be seen at once, their whole hope liesin the people.— To them they must look for success, and to secure this they must come before them with the man and the cause that will | ; ji | j i y | some species have become extinct, and, short) command their approbation and secure their votes. To do this, they must pro- ceed cautiously. If they fuil before the people. they fuil entirely. They have no broad margin of a majority in the House to fall back upon if they fail in the elec- toral colleges. Let our Whig friends who are now disposed to go for Scott and Clay, independent of a National Convention, di- gest the above facts, and shape their fu- ture course accordingly. Gen. Scott him- self says we shall probably “only havea Whig candidate for the Presidency thro’ a National Convention,” and at the same time repudiates the impolitic course of his friends in thrusting him forward as the candidate. Gen. Scott has more to fear from indiscreet friends than he has from his political enemies.—Dollar News. OUR MINISTER IN ENGLAND. At the late banquet given at Southampton, England, to the illustrious exile, Kossuth, the following letter from Mr. Abbott Lawrence, our Minister, was read: * Legation of the U.S. London, Oct. 28. Sir, —I had hoped to have the honor of be- ing one of your guests this evening, but am po- silively forbidden by my physician, Dr. Holland, who tells me that in my present state of health, suffering as I am, under a severe cold, and the consequences of exposure in London last even- ing, I must not make the Journey to Southamp- ton. It is with the deep2st and most unfeigned regret that I am thus prevented from joining the authorities and citizens of Southampton, in this testimony of respect to his excellency M. Kos- suth, and in their congratulations upon his re- lease fiom captivity. 1 watched his career during his brilliant administration of affairs in Hungary, and I have seen what he has done since ; and I am pursuaded that he is eminently deserving the admiration of all lovers of consti- tutional government and freedom. He appears ‘to possess the affection and confidence, in a rare degree, of the people among whom he was, and with whom he has lived—a people devoted to constitutional liberty, and jealous of their rights and privileges. He is now free through the joint efforts ofthe United States and Great | Britain, two nations animated with a common desire to see it enjoyed by all civilized nations, and now has the opportunity to see, on the shores of England, the working of a constitu. tional government, and the happiness of a free eople. The citizens of the United States of every shade of opinion, without yeilding to the influ. ence of any visionary ideas, sympathise deeply with every struggle for human freedom. Pos- sessed themselves of institutions whose liberty is founded en law, and progress is compatible with stability, they cannot look with indiffer- ence on the exertions of other nations to attain the same nappy state.—They will welcome M. Kossuth warmly and heartily, as one who, though he failed in the effurt, labored to estab. lish in bis native land a constitution which | should work such results. [ beg you, sir to | convey to your illustrious guest my sincere res- | pects and congratulations, and accept tor your- self and corporation of Southampton the assur- ances of the distinguished consideration with which I have the honor to be, sir, your obliged and most obedient servant, ABBOTT LAWRENCE. To his worship, the Mayor of Southampton. THE SIEGE OF MATAMOROS RAISED. By Telegraphic accounts from N. Orleans, of yesterday’s date, we have not only a positive contradiction of the story of the capture of Matamoros by the _ Insur- gent forces of Northern Mexico, under the command of Carvajal, but intelligence of the abandonment of the siege by the lat- ter, and the subsequent rout of his forces. It appears that Carvajal persisted in his efforts to capture the city until the 9tb in- stant, when, finding that he had gained no perceptible advantage, and despairing of receiving expected reinforcements, he was compelled to raise the siege and beat a re- treat. The Mexicans then sallied out and routed the Insurgents, who are reported to have suffered great loss. Carvajal baving retreated as far as Rey- nosa, he there coljected his scattered troops, and was about returning to Mata- moros to renew the attack. The “ Rio * Brayo” says that at the latest ccounts from hia he was daily receiving! inforce- ments, and actaally commenced his mareb towards the scene of cousemplated action. == a7 £ 2a ~ ‘In the mean time, however, the defence of Matamoros had been strengthened, by the arrival-there of Gen. Canales, with a corps of three hundred of the national guatd, and Gen. Urega was momentarily expected with eight hundred regular troops.

It. is indeed gratifying to note the progress | of work on the Railroad contracts in this vicin- | ity. On every section in the county, except two or three, there are more or less hands em- ployed. Fields, Shelly & Co. have been at work for | some time past, and we learn have their con- tract ina state of forwardness. We are not informed how many hands they have employed. | C. P. Mendenhall & Co., whose contract extends over six or seven sections (six miles in length,) have nearly thirty hands employed, excited a debate. There are now about 70 preachers in attendance, and some eth- ers expected. It isthe wish of the Bishop to get through with the basiness with all due speed, his pressing engagements ad- mitting of no unnecessary delay. TEMPERANCE CELEBRATION. It was announced in our last that there would be a Temperance celebration in this Town on Friday (to- morrow) evening. We have only to repeat that notice, and to add that all the necessary preparations for the occasion are in process of completion. There will be and the number will be increased as fast as several speakers present, and it is expected that the carts, &c. are procured to facilitate the opera- | evening will be one of pleasure and of profit.

The Grand Jury of the United States District Court, at Philadelphia, on Friday returned true bills agrinst Jacob Townsend one of the Christiana prisoners, charging him with obstructing the officers of the U.

Surry county, had his left hand pret- ty badly mutilated on the 8th instant by ‘the accidental discharge of a pistol which he held in his right hand.

Licensing Question.—The County Court for Rowan, at its last Session, it will be remembered granted licenses to Anthony Bencini and Daniel Shaver, to retail spir- itous liquors in the Town of Salisbury.— They did this in violation of one of the plainest Acts of Assembly, and with a full _knoweledge of its existence at the time, but yet, as we hope, honestly—not putting that construction upon the law which most other intelligent citizens are compelled to put upon it, Alex.

States, enacted by the constitution- al authorities, was the first of obligations imposed on an American citizen; and that any other resistance to them than the constitutional resistance by a change of law gives was among the political here- sies most to be repudiated by an Ameri- can patriot. “It is, however, to be ardently hoped that the bloody tragedy of Christiana may have a wholesome and abiding influence on our future national career; that it may impart moderation to political zealots ; impress a lasting lesson of the necessity of obedience to the public laws, while they remain unrepealed on the statute book ; and manifest that there is but one true remedy for grievances, real or sup- posed, under which the nation may suffer —the remedy prescribed by the Constita- tion.” { During the twenty-four hours of Wednesday there arrived at the port of New.

The reports that the Alrica, which had been for the last day or two expected at New York with Liverpool in- telligence to the 25th alt., had gone ashore off Belfast, Ireland, but had experienced no damage. Tue Marxets.—Corton in the Liverpool market during the week ending October | the 24th, was in fair demand, but the mar- ket being pressed on by holders was con- stantly weak and irrregular. and a decline from an eighth to a quarter of a peny had taken place. England.—Kossuth arrived at South- ampton on the 28d of October, and was received on landing by the Mayor and an. immense concourse of people. He was addressed by the Mayor, to whom he re- plied briefly butin eloquent aud apropri- ate terms. He was visited on the follow. ing day by Lord Dudley Stuart, Mr. Cob- den, M. P.. and many distinguished gen- tlemen. Early on Monday morning, the 27th ult. he reached London. His arri- val, however, was unexpected, and he | met with no marks of popular demonstra- tion. Lord Palmerston had made known his desire to receive him unofficially.— He was to have returned to Southampton on Tuesday, the 28th ult., in time to be present at a splendid banquet which was to have been given to him in the Town Hall of that town on that day. Novel Salute.—In recent papers from China, it is said that the British men of war Cleopratra and Lilly fired, at noon, on the last 4th of July, a salute of twen- ty-one guns each, with the “stars and stripes” at the fore, in honor of the anni- versary of our national independence.— The “China Friend,” speaking of the event, says it is the first time such a thing was ever done by any British vessel in Chinese waters. The circumstance is on- ly one of a thousand signs denoting the daily increasing respect of all nations for the American republic. 07The Raleigh Star remarks that about 300 newspapers in the Union have hoisted the name of Mr. Fillmore for the next Presidency; and that at least 50) newspapers have run up the name of the Hon. William A. Graham for the Vice Presidency. We like to see the ball roll- ing that way. a= TO RAIL ROAD CONTRACTORS.

They, with many others, having long felt the want of a school of this character in this part of the South, have taken measures to build up an institution that will give to our young men every advantage for obtaining a thorough education in any part, or the whole of a Col- lege Course. Students can be prepared for any of the College classes. Mr. George M. Everhart has been elected by tie Board of Trustees as the Principal. Mr. Everhart has had the experience of nearly seven years as Teacher— four years as ihe Principal of an Academy, and three asan instructor in one of the most popular colleges in the South. Marked success has attended his efforts in each of these departments. and untiring energy and a devotion to his profession, can recommend him to our people, he surely will re- ceive their entire confidence. Several competent as- sistants will aid him, and such other means will be em- ployed that shall raise the School at once to a position of superior usefulness. The Edifice is very large and elegant brick build- ing. Germanton is remarkable for its healthy location, and the morality of its citizens. Board can be obtain ed in cur best families at the low price of $6 per month. The scholastic year is divided into two unequal ses- sions, the first commencing on Thursday, the Ist of January, 1852, contiues 15 weeks.

The South Eagle Tract is adjoining the Eagle,on both of which is a splendid water power of great force. I havea beautiful piece of Land in the South Eagle Tract which I propose to lay off in small lots of one fourth of an acre each, for the ac- commodation of Merchants, Doctors, and Mechanics. All such persons would do well to give this rising place due attention. « There is a tide in the affairs of men Which, taken at its flood, Leads on to” happiness and wealth. Here isa chance. Capitalists would also do well to look this way. I needa little help to carry on more suc- cessfully, the enterprises in which I am engaged and on which I propose to enter. I am steadily progressing, however, though slow!y, with my original schemes, to wit: the erection of Factories for spinning eotton and wool, and for calico printing. But as I advance the prospect opens up, and invites to larger and more fruitful fields. This location for manufacturing purposes and for a Town, is very favorable. It is near enough to the great Central Rail Road, and in a very healthy region of Country. Iwill sell lots privately on the most favorable terms to suit purchasers. The water power on the South Eagle Tract, is immense, and capable of driving almost any amount of Machinery. Early applications either for lots or an interest in the present or proposed enterprises will receive the most favorable offers. 3m4 ANDREW RAGGARLY. Tredell County, N. C., May 14, 1851 DR. M.

Fayetteville, Nov. 21, 1851. HORRIBLEAND FATAL CALAMITY. FIF?TY CHILDREN KILLED! AND FORTY-NINE WOUNDED! One of the most distressing calamities that ever visited this city, occurred yester- day afternoon. between 2 and 3 o'clock. at the Ward school house No. 26, in Green. wich avenue. We were upon the Spot a short time after the accident occurred, but cannot convey to the reader any adequate conception of the excitement and anguish and desolation of the heart rending scene. Fitty children, or upward, were killed. and forty-nine were more or less severely wounded. There were 1,833 children. of boih sexes. in the school at the time, of | whom about six hundred were in the fe- male department. T'be school house is a large, five story. brick building, the basement being level | with the street. and forming in fact a flag- | ged playground for the children. the build ing being so constructed that the children | can play eiiher in the open yard. or ran| for shelter underneath the school house.— | The Jour tloors above are reached by a! winding, or what is technically called a | “ well” staircase, the bottom of the well | or terminus of the staircase being upon tae flagged Hoor of the basement, and a- bout ten feet square inextent. It was by precipitaiion into this well that so many of the children were killed, many of them by suffocation alone. Miss Harrison, one of the teachers of the female department, who had been for some days indisposed, was seized with fainting. and a call for water was raised by some of the children near her. The cry for “water” seems to have given rise to the idea that something had caught fire, and this alarm spread so rapidly that before any preventive measures could be taken, the main body of the scholars rush ed toward the door, and a scene of indes- cribable contusion and horror succeeded. This department was in the third story, | its elevation from the flagged floor being | 30 feet. In the rush some children were forced over the bannister of the stair case, and | falling upon the flags below, were man- gled and instantly killed. The panic spread also through the other departments of the school, including the male depart- ment on the fourth floor, and under this! augmented pressure the ballustrades from ihe loot fo a point above the second story | gave way or were forced oot. and the chil- dren as they eagerly rushed forward wete | Instantly precipitated inio the well of the | stair case, (be uppermost smothering or suifocating those who lay beneath. Be. | fore the current could be arrested, the well was filled with the bodies of childien to the depth of about eight teet. At this juncture the alarm reached the | Nioth Ward station house, the fire bell was rung. and a detachment of the police | hurried to the scene. Here a new diffi culty presented jiself. The afternoon ses- sion of the school baving commenced, the main outer doors. Which open upon the foot of the stairs. bad been closed. Against these the affrighted children were wedged in masses. and as (he doors open inward it was some time before relief could be given them. The police fortunately ef- fected an entrance by a rear door, but for | which timely help probably many more of the children would have been suffocated. Much commendation is due tothe teach- | ers for their presence of mind. Miss Mc- [°arland. one of the assistants in the prim- ary department. finding the children of her department becoming alarmed, placed herself in the doorway, and exerted her ut- most strength to arrest them as they en-| deavored to rush [rom the room, and al- | though several times thrown down and trampled upon. she still persisted in her etforts, until finally she was so much in- jured as (o be compelled to relinquish the post. So impetuous was the rush. bow- ever, that five of the female teachers were forced over the banisters and fell with the | children into the well. They were bappi- | ly not seriously injured. The sterner dis- cipline exercised over the boys’ depart- ments prevented them generally from join- ing tbe rush. Only three of the pupils in the upper male department were among the killed. — NV. Y. Com. The children were generally between 6 and 15 years of age. The Express says. “The scene was heart rending—the recognition of the dead by their broken hearted parents. Upon) the faces of the little ones, who had so suddenly been sommoned from this world there was in most cases an expression of | pain fixed, which stirred still deeper the founts of feeling in the spectators.

THE CITY. The general aspect of affairs in ‘our city has not changed since our last, although | some movements have taken place which | are of considerable importance to our com- | munity. The principal of these, the re- signations of Juage Bennett of the Su- preme, and Judge Parsons of the District Court of the fourth Judicial district ; the contest for the County Clerkship, between Messrs. Addison and Wainright, and for the seat on the bench of the Superior Court. between Judges Satterlee and Nor- ton, together with the difficulties attend- ing the organization of the Court of Ses- sions, have been spoken of in our general /Summary. The dther items of intelligence | with one or two exceptions, are of but mi- | nor importance. The weather in our city during the last two weeks, has been delightful—the cold, blustering winds having ina great meas- ure subsided, and a succession of fine | warm days, and pleasant nights having setin. Several showersof rain have fall- en, forerunners of the torrents which we may expect during the months of Decem- ber, January and February. . The health of the city has been, as usu- al, good; and a great portion even of } i | those who have been lying ill here, have been laboring under diseases contracted in the upper country. Building is still going on rapidly. A large number of fine brick buildings have been recently finished. or are in process of erection, while several others, we un- When the rainy season sets in, brick building will be suspended.—at least to a great degree, —but as soon as the spring opens, it will recommence with, according to present appearances, renewed vigor. Rents still continue high, when compar- ed with the amount of capital invested in buildings, although ruling much lower than they formerly did. Houses are rent- ed as soon as erected, particularly in the immediate proximity of the plank streets. The mania for dueling seems to have subsided in a great measure, only one af- fair of the kind having been attempted | since the sailing ot the last steamer. The parties were two gentlemen engaged in the Custom House,and a meeting was arranged at Benicia. One of the parties was, however, bound over to keep the | peace after the other had left for the ap- | pointed spot, so the projected affair did not * come off.” The final result was, as we learn, that the gentleman who kept the appointment, inflicted a horsewhip- ping upon the party who did not make his appearance at the time and place agreed upon. An unfortunate man, a Scotchman, nam- ed Mackintosh, died a day or two since from the effects of drinking four bottles of brandy. His body was tound ina va- cant lot, his face having been in a great ; measure eaten off by the rats. The body of a Mexican, named San | | Niguel, was discovered lying onthe North Beach, a few nights ago, penetrated with | no less than twenty-six wounds! When discovered, he was lying in a spot to which he bad been apparenily carried, stretched on his back, with a great-coat drawn over his face. Considerable excitement was _ aroused by the account of his murder, and for some time conjecture was at fault re- garding the manner of his death. After _a careful investigation, it was discovered he was decently dressed, looked fresh and healthy, and I saw him have considerable money. He said he had joined the Sons some 10 or 12 months ago, had drank nothing since, spent no useless money and had attended to his business. This, * con- tinued the old gentleman, “ decided me to try the plan. We had often got drank together, and neither of us made any thing by it ; and when I saw him prospering as a Temperance man | thought I would do the same.” How plainly is seen the force of exam- ple in the above. We know both the parties, and have seen them both wallow- ing in the dirt, apparently irreclaimable victims of the tyrant, Intemperance: now, both are sober, steady. respectable mem- bers of society and likely to prosper.— Both are men of intelligence and superior education, good citizens and useful men. Let those who are opposing the Sons reflect upon these facts; and let not the Sons be discouraged. As long as we can achieve such victories as these over the powers of strong drink, we may well af- ford to bear, without murmuring, the a- buse of prejudice and ignorance. Let us fight the old king himself, and not be wasting our strength upon those who op- pose us through prejudice.—Mountain Banner. EXECUTION OF BEVERLY RASH. This man convicted six months ago, of the murder of his wite, was hung in the suburbs of gallows by the Cabarrus Guards, commanded by Capt. Slough. There was an immense crowd present to witness the execution. Before being swung off. the criminal made a short address of about five minutes. He said “he felt like saying something to satisfy the curiosity of tbe specta- tors—that be had but a few minutes to live— that he had been a great sinner and was about to suffer justly, but he was innocent of choking his wife.” ‘* Some,” he said, * would believe he had told a lie—he could not alter their opin. ions, and whatever they might think would make but litle difference, as it would neither benefit or injure him—the truth of what he had said would only be known at the judgement bar of God, where the secrets of all hearts would be made manifest.” He further said, ‘that he felt he had been regenerated, and would be saved, not from any merit of his own but through the meditation of our Lord Jesus Christ.” Afier some conversation with the Rev. Mr. Morrison, who attended him at bis request, and the Sheriff, he took a glass of wine and a chew of tobacco with the utmost indiffer- ence, and in a few minutes was launched into eiervity! He met his fate with as much cool. ness and equanimity as it he were only retiring (o the repose of natural sleep. We have never before witnessed a public | execulion, but it has been our lot to stand by the bed of many, dying from disease, and we do not recollect ever to have seen one, saint INAUGURAL ADDR ESS OF REV.

Pye Smith remarks that, “upon the whole, no evidence has yet been afforded by geology than man existed on the earth earsier than during the alluvial, or bisto- | ric period.” But the bones of man are pre. served in a fossil state equally well with those of the inferior animals, Cuvier says, “the establishment of present sociely cannot be very ancient.”—* It is one of the results the most clearly proved ; aresult the more valuable, as it unites in an unbroken chain, natural and civil history ;” and waen speaking of causes now at work, he says. ‘We can determine nearly the very moment whence their action may be dated.” ‘The words of Moses are more than confirmed, by the monu. ments found in the earth, and the records on ils surface. But when we reach the end, a parle ante of man’s history and residence here; when we arfive at that sublime scene where this world was fitted up as a mansion worthy of an angel —of the son of God—do we stop there and say, this is absolutely the beginning of time? Did crealive power now first begin to energize 1— Was there no matler—no earth—or inhabilants on it before? Here is one of the most hardest points— here is where minds unacquainted with the facts and deductions of geology, are both star. tled and stumbled. It is too new—too strange —too high, for them. They have been accus- tomed to read that ancient and most venerable record as it seems to read; never dreaming that it can have any other meaning than th e one they attach to it. And we must admit that or sinner, who exhibited so little fear and so much fortitude in grappling with the grim mon. | ster.

Such the connection of science with the creation of our world, is one of the most bewildering that has formed the subject of enquiry to the human mind. lt is high—a great argument. When we come to the point out of time and say here nature in the movement of lile died—and was buried ; and that the Great Author of all life | say that here is the birch of all time, the abso- | lute beginning, yet we say that it is as near _ the time of that creating act when God called not existing, so that they were, as science can carry us. ‘I'he globe may have been in a fluid matier, boiling, heaving state fur ages before that time for aught we hnow. But the point we have indicated, is the starting point of any laws, whose operation we can trace. And be- (ween that and the time of the Mosaic crea. tion, we have no means of measuring the in- terval. And yet it is found in no other way than by inserting it between the first and se- cond verses of the first chapter ot Genesis.—' And as a certain writer remarks, speaking of | geology, ** its toundations have been laid in ab.

The failure of the banking house of Wells & Co.. excited some talk in our Com- mercial circles, as did that of Mr. S. Bee- bee Ludlow, which followed it emmedi- ately.

We have been visiied by no fires, al- though on one or two occasions the sharp peal of the alarm bell bas awakened the fears of our citizens, nervously acute to danger from this source. —— On the whole we have had a quiet time of it for the last fortnight, and our future promises well for a continuance of the same state of tranquillity. San Francisco Picayune. AN INCIDENT. An old gentleman of fine mind and ed- ucation, and of superior talent, but who has, for many years, been very intemper- ate, recently reformed and joined the Sons of Temperance at this place. In conver- sation with him last week we asked how he came to jointhe Sons. Hisreply was as follows, as nearly in bis own words as e can recollect : « Well,” said he, “I hardly know, bat |’! tell what had more influence with me ‘than any thing else. I met with J—H— _ some days ago, and asked him how it was | that he looked so much better of late ; for | |W No: { lows on this occasion, looked on with as muc indifference as they would watch the antics o a “dandy jack” in aring. And to wind up the | frolic, many returned to town and got glorious. ‘ly fuddled, (just the condition in which to com. | mit crime,) and, we understand, there was some fighting. We do hope the legislature will take this subject in hand and put a stop to such revolting |and demoralizing spectacles. It does seem to us that executions in some private place, ‘removed from the public gaze, would make a | | 'much more awful and solemn impression. as | well upon criminals as upon the masses of the ‘people, and would bave a more salutary influ- ence generally.—Concord Mercury. EVIL COMPANY. The following beautiful allegory was trans- lated from the German : Sophronius, a wise teacher, would not suffer | even his grown up sons and daughters to asso- ciate with those whose conduct was not pure | | and upright. Dear father, said the gentle Eudalia to him one day, when he forbade her, in company with her brother, to visit the volatile Lucinda, dear father, you must think us very childish, if you imagine that we should be exposed to danger and points on the earth, succeeding each other, | and never appearing again, at least, it is said, five times, and occupying immense periods of | 1 before the six days of the Mosaic creation, or | man was made irom dust, a king ina palaee al. ready prepared.

God made our progenitor, the first man, not by a law, but with his own band, and, ‘* Os homini sublime dedit coelumque tueri Jussit et erectos ad sidera tollere vultus.” When we descend into that Jand of darkness and death, nearly as far as the extent of the Mammoih Cave, we leave behind all the works and rocnuments of man: we go below bis deep- est grave—we leave bebind us successively, the extinct species of the Tertiary formation— the trees and animals that flourished when that —_——_ for his artistic purposes: the stope with which | he constructs his dwellings: the limestone with which he draws subsistence, were all pre. pared by long and laborious processes ; by the agenis, animate and inanimate of God’s boun- tiful.Providence, and at remote time, when only the foreseeing eye of God could tell for what purpose they were destined.” t+ The works of | his bands join with the words of bis mouth in saying that God is love. “The whole and every part proclaims His infinite good will, It shines in stats, and flows in streams, And bursts from every hill: We view it o’er the spreading plain And heavens which spread more wide : It drops in gentle showers of ruin, Aad rolls in every tide.” We know that the authority of great names, even as great as the Author of the old red sand- stone, Profs. Silliman, Jamison, and Parkinson, can be brought in favor of another method of furnishing the required time for all these fur. mations, by expanding the six days of Mases into long indefinite periods. And we know (hat it was Jong since noticed by Cuvier, that there was a remarkable correspondence be. (ween the account of Moses and the phenome. na of geology. The imperishable monuments of history, aud the records inthe rocks, agree logetber: though the former was not written to convey physical, but moral truth; that men might not suppose matter eternal, or self-crea- ted, and thus worship the effect, without look. ing for the cause. And let it be remembered that the exigene ces of this yet infant, though really most an- cieut science did not first require this interpre. tation of the first part of the oldest human re, cord. It is not a modern invention to extend the time wben God created the mailer of the Universe, bevond six thousand years. For long before the birth of that science that se- veals such mysteries hidden in the bowels of ihe earth: such a visita jato bygone ages; the same opiuion was entertained. The aaciest Fathers in the church entertained the belief ihat the Mosaic creation was not the origin of the world. Justin Martyr, Basil, Origen, ‘The- odoret, and Augustine are said to have had the same view. We do not iniend bere to discuss the connection of gevlogy and revealed reli- gion; we may say, however, that it does nat contradict the Bible, bat falls in with it.

Nor are these sciences barren of inter- est in an economical point of view. They are connected with the industrial pursuits of life. Science bas ever been in modern times more than the handmaid of the Arts. And can the business of the world be pursued to any advan- tage without her aid? Can Agriculture, or Manufacture, or Commerce, dr Mining? What has so cheapened the comforts, conveniences, and even the luxuries of life? It is because every new principle of science becomes a new, better, more improved rule and process in art. It is set to work ; it earns money; it cheapens the products of labor, and the consumer gets the benefit. What has made our mother coun. try, England, the work-shop of the world?

Her fea- | tures were well formed & her complexion, | when a girl, would have been as fair as |“ monumental alabaster,” but in spite of | all ber mother’s pains, her face would freckle. [ler hair too, was coarse and dis- obedient, tor she never could make it tie smooth.

She could jump to her own height with ease, and was play- ‘ful asa fawn. Sally had cherry red lips, ‘and a set of teeth that was the envy of ber sex and the despair of dentists. She | was married at eighteen, to Colonel Smith of Roanoke, a sensible, accomplished, well looking man, who loved her with his whole soul. They had five lovely children in | about eight years, at the end of which time _ she was better looking and more interest- ing than she had ever been before. The invidious specks of her youth had given | place to a clear red and white, beautifully mingled, and the levity of her action toa sedate and dignified demeanor. She had /all the artlessness of her childhood, with ithe grace of woman.

His more refined neigh ' bors began, one by one, to fall off in their | visits, and their places were filled by row- | dyish, hard drinking fox hunters, whom he formerly bad kept atadistance. Toa | critical discerner it might be noticed that a change had taken place in his domestic affairs. His fences had gone down and briars had grown up in the corners. His faHow ground was not broken up in the fall. His crops were lessabnndant. His slaves less neatly clad. His horses shab- by. His houses leaky, and once or twice in the last year also, it was noticed that the Sheriff had paid him a visit, and after that for some time his air was more peta- lant and crusty towards those around him. But such was the implicit confidence of his lovely * Cousin Sally,” as every body called her, that she never once dreamed any thing was wrong. At length having remained at the grog shop for the greater part of one day after bis usual hunt, he was brought home by two of his boon com- panions, dead drunk. Poor Cousin Sally, the whole secret at once flashed over her bore up under the affliction with rare for- titude. The scene was repeated again and again, and it began to be common, but such was her respect for her husband that shedid noteven marmar. At length one morning she complained of a most dreadful tooth ache, the first she had ever bad in her life. No remedy could be found, and she seemed to suffer the pangs of death. For several days and nights her sufferings continued, her appetite fuil- ed her, her strength began to give way, and her husband became alarmed for ber situation. A denist was brought in, but she would not hear to having a tooth ex- tracted, though her husband urged it up- on her most earnestly. At length,in the urgency of his solicitation, he declared that ‘that .he would do any thing she would ask him to do, it she would submit to the operation.’ At this she looked up with tears in her eyes, and asked him “if he was in earn- est in that proposal.” “ As] live I will doit,” said Smfth, with energy. “ Will you join the Sons of Temperance if I will submit to have my tooth palled out ?” said she solemnly. Smith read volumes in her tone and manner; he looked like one detected, and convicted! but he had gone too far to back out. Yes,” said he, after a pause, as if ga- thering strength within himself—* yes, as I live I will do what I say. I have done exceeding wrong, but I have never yet vi- olated my word, so come on doctor.” “ Yes, come on doctor,” said the lady, and down she sat with as much compo- sure as if she were going to take her tea. The dentist had been ready all the time, and knowing how variable are the reso- lutions of ladies upon occasions of this trying character, he lost no time in getting to the work. Which tooth is it, enquired he.” She put her finger on one of her back teeth and told him to take that out. The instrament needing some adjustment, he was forced away for a moment, when a- gain addressing himself to the task, but she this time pointing to another tooth.— This somewhat confounded the artist, but she fearing that her stratagem might be discovered, urged him impatiently to pro- ceed. This time. as he began to fix the cold implement upon her tooth, she indi- cated the one she had first pointed out as the offender, which no little increased his confusion ; but on her again urging him he wrenched the unoffending moliendar from its bony socket. The pang was borne without the twitching of a muscle or the twinkling of an eye. “ Now,” says she, “I have fulfilled my part of the bargain, now stand to yours |’ ‘| will do it as Ilive’ said Smith with increased firmness. In the mean time the dentist was curi- ously examining the tooth which he had extracted. ‘I fear,’ said he, ‘that I have pulled the wrong tooth, for certainly that one has never ached. Will you permit me mad- am, to examine your other teeth ?’ ‘It matters not,’ said she laughing. ‘I am certain that has hurt me as much as any of the others?’ Smith saw through the ruse, and taking his lovely wife in his arms, kissed her fer- gently. ‘There, said she, ‘our covenant is seal- ed with my blood, for your lips are all bloody.’ Very good said he, as he wiped the crimson gore from his lips and gazed at it on his handkerchief. It is in truth a bloody token—but it is the sacrifice of a true heart, and | should be worse than an infidel if I did not fulfil my promise. And he did fulfil his promise. Eight more years have transpired and all that time the halcyon days of their early love have continued to dawn upon that house. Sons and daughters have grown uparound them, and call them blessed. But Sinith has never taken another fox hunt ; he has never filled another tickler. He has nev- er been in the inside of that loathsome grog shop, for he took the pledge and he has faithfully observed it. Sally Jones was once twitted by one of her inquisitive cousins about that tooth drawing, but she cut the matter short by saylog with emotion, ‘it is better to loose a tooth once, than to have your heart- strings continually tugged at for a whole lifetime.” The School Calamity at New York.—Most of the unfortunate children killed by the dread- ful calamity in New York, at the Ninth Ward School house on Thursday afternoon were bu. ried on Saturday and Sunday. Seventeen were interred in the Greenwood Cemetery on Sat- urday, and their funerals were attendad Ly the surviving members of the classes to which they belonged. Probably there was not a clergy- man in the city yesterday who did not allude in his sermon to this terrible calamity, and take occasion to impress upon his hearers the un- certainty of life. No disaster has ever seemed to create more general gloom and mourning. It is the subject of conversation in every circle. Many interesting incidents are currently rela. ted, and have been reported in the various jour- nals. It is said that one poor girl, who was on the staircase afier the balustrade had gone, feeling herself pressed toward the edge of the stairs, threw her arms around a younger girl next to her, who, having more support, stood in noim- mediate danger. The little one feeling the grasp of her friend, said, “ Anne, let go, please, or you will drag me down with you.” And Anne did let go; she kept her footing for a few seconds, and then reeled and fell upon the mass of sufferers below. She was among the dead. . Letitia, the youngest daughter of Mr. Jus- tice Bleakley, was a pupil in one of the small classes, and when the children rushed for the stairway, she was carried with the current, and, as she describes, they all went down to- gether as if upon the tossing waves. When descending below stairs she sank upon one of the steps, beneath several of her school. mates, and while lying there she was almost suffoca- ted, became drowsy and sleeply. and finally said to a little girl beside her, * Antoinette, I am going to sleep.” At this moment a piece senses, and was like a thunderbolt, But of wood fell upon her head, and, cutting it near the temple, the blood’ flowed ‘profusely, which | pe revived her, and in a few minutes she was ex- tricated from her perilous situatioh. : Commercial Advertise. From the Fayetteville Observer. MORGANTON TRAGEDY. We copy the following from the Wil- mington Journal, for the purpose of ex- pressing our concurrence in most of its views. Sympathizing with Mr. Avery, as every man acquainted with the characters of the parties, and the nature of the provo- cation, must do, we have yet been shock- ed at the indiscreet publications made in undoubtedly pronounces the act of Mr. Avery a deliberate killing of a human being, subjectinge the perpetrator to the most ignominious punishment. Yet the newspapers scout the law, justify the le- gal offender in advance of his trial, rejoice in his acquittal, tell us how despondent he was before, and hoW relieved and cheer- ful he was after, he bad shot Flemming. All this has struck us as in the worst pos- sible spirit. No one can properly justify the killing of another, except in self-de- fence, a plea which is’not set up in this case. No one, no newspaper especially, should justify and applaud an act in vio- lation of human and divine laws. Our sympathies may be, nay must be in this case, with the offender of those laws.— But asthe Journal well says, “ the par- doning power is vested in another place.” And wo be to society when individuals, and presses, and juries, all unite in vesting in individual hands the right to kill, and the right to absolve from the legal results of such killing. Better for society, better for Mr. Avery himself, if public feeling had not usurped the powers of the Law. Far better if the Jury had done its duty, and the Executive of the State had then exercised the attribute of mercy with which the same Law has clothed him, for this and other cases. Some good will probably grow out of this sad occurrence. The almost indis. criminate abuse of parties and witnesses in Court, by some Attorneys, is a great evil, deeply felt and much complained of. We cannot tell whether or not this was a case in which Mr. Avery was justified in such severity of remark. It is more than probable that it was. But the oc- currence may well induce Lawyers to give more reflection to the subject, and to be very sure that their duty requires such a course, before they adopt it. And par- ties and witnesses, who feel sore under remarks so indulged in, will do well to remember the fate of Flemming, before they take into their own hands the right to revenge such insults. We did not intend, at first, to say any thing on this subject, but the remarks of the Wilmington Journal, a political friend of Mr. Avery, have induced us to add our feeble mite to its effort at the mainten- ance of the Law. From the Wilmington Journal. STANDARD OFFIceE, Raueicn, Nov. 22, 1851. ACQUITTAL OF MR. AVERY. “It affords us great pleasure to an- nounce the triumphant acquittal of W. W. Avery, by a jury of his country. “ His trial for killing Samuel Flemming commenced in Burke Superior Court, on Friday the 14th, and closed on Saturday the 15th. The Jury, after ten minutes consultation, returned a verdict of Not Guilty. “A crowd of a “thousand people re- sponded with tears of rejoicing to the ver- dict of the jury.” * We congratulate his friends through- out the State, and the public generally, upon this result,” We are not acquainted with the par- ticulars of the case farther than they have been published in the papers, and cannot therefore speak of the precise nature of the evidence adduced on trial. We be- lieved at the time we first heard of the affair that not a hair of Mr. Avery’s head would be hurt on account of it. No mat- ter what the verdict of the jury might have been, even to the conviction for murder, the demand for pardon would have been so urgent and universal that no executive could have refused to ac- cede to it, and the public opinion which would have demanded the pardon. would of itself have acquitted him of all impu- tation. But we must say this much, not only because it is our own opinion, but also that of many others whose judg- ment we respect, that unless some addi- tional evidence was produced on trial, calculated to show that the shooting was done in self-defence, or that Mr. Avery fully believed it to be so, the majesty of the law, which had been insulted, the sanc- tity of a court of justice which had been violated, nay, the oaths of the jurors them- selves, required a different verdict fortheir vindication. As we have before said, not a hair of M+. Avery’s head could or should have been hurt, nor his reputation have suffered the slightest blot or stain. Un- less, we repeat, some hitherto undevel- oped circumstances appeared on trial, the course which would have met our views would have been for Mr. Avery to have submitted and for the Governor to have pardoned him. The executive has such equitable power. A jury has not and should not be asked to exercise it in violation of their oaths. Whether, in a strictly religious point of view, Mr. Avery acted rightly or wrong- ly we cannot pretend to say, but asa man of the world, situated as he was, outraged acd insulted as he had been, and with precisely such a state of public opinion upon such subjects as exists in the com- munity in which he lives, no other course was open or possible for him, and instead of blame, he deserves sympathy. -Our re marks are not, therefore, intended by way of censure upon him, but as a remon- strance against the custom of juries, sworn to decide impartially in accordance with the law and the evidence, permitting their f Western papers on the subject. The law’ | feelings in regard to the equity of "itis, ene, to swerve their judgments from the strict obligation impe upon them by their oaths. With juries, the should take its course. he joe Ac power is vested in another place. __ We have copied in our paper the account of the murdet of Mr. Flemining by W. W. Ave- ry, Esq., as reported by the Asheville Messen- ger. Being wholly acquainted with the par- lies except what we gather from our exchange papers, it would be unbecoming | in us to at- tempt to forestall public opinion either way. The circumstances however under which this murder was committed mark it with seem- ing atrocity unequalled in the catalogue © crimes: To know that a fellow being has been murdered under any circumstances is horrible to think of ; but to know that in open day, in & Court House, in the presence of a Judge set. ting in his official station, that one man should slaughter another is truly stullifying to the bu- man heart. Without pleading any man’s cause or vindicating character, we have no hesita- tion in pronouncing the case before us, one of the most lawless, and one having the most fear- ful tendencies aga precedent, in all the long string of murders now recorded in the history of our country. a To say that one of these men was a villain aud the other a respectable citizen, and allow at the same time this to be the fact; that in our opinion is not a sufficient answer in the case before us. If such a standard be raised in our country—recognizing the right of a re. spectable citizen to kill all the knaves, we aps prehend that there are yet rivers of blood to be shed. In all such cases the laws prescribe the mode of redress, and when the power of law looses it influence in these matters, then as @ nalion, as communities, we are cul loose from our moorings; atd left at the mercy of mob law and violence. It is to be feared that the fre- quency of murder in our country, és having a tendency to blunt the moral feeling of men and thus better prepare them to submit in silence to the practice, rather than arouse and alarm. This sending men into eternity, with a pow- der flash notice only, is a serious matter, in- volving the most important considerations for time and eternity. Saith the word of God, “ He that shedeth man’s blood, by man shall his blood be shed.” And again, ‘No murderer hath eternal life abiding in him.”—WNorth Carolina Argus. DRUNKEN LEGISLATORS. The Southern Era, after administering a wholesome rebuke to some of their Virginia legislators, for a drunken spree on a celebra- tion of the opening of a railroad, adds :— This evil is great, and demands a speedy remedy. Not only are minor legislators guilty of those departures from propricty, but even the highest become agents of the prince of dark. ness. A story is travelling the rounds, about Commodore S *s bad speech, which he in a hotel on the afternoon of his election to the United States Senate. After the speech was concluded, a rough-looking customer said, ‘ Commodore, that was decidedly a bad speech.’ The Hon. Gent began to apologize, when his tormentor, observing his confusion, continued, ‘It don’t matter much, but the truth is, on such occasions as this here, we should have short speeches and long drinks.’ ‘he story closes hy saying, ‘the Commodore soon, introduced his friend to the fare.’ Here is one of the high- est in the wine—one upon whom the eyes of young and old are fixed, exhibiting a spectacle disgusting in the extreme. ‘I would rather be a dog and bay the moon, than such a Sena. tor.” But ‘one sinner destroyeth much good,’ and the gallant Commodore has, by that act, destroyed more than he will ever effectuate in his new field of labor. We ask for a moment, if Legislators do not forget when they arrive at the halls of legisla- lion that they were temperance men at home ? We fear they do.

The Old Gin- eral was always ready to fight for the couniry aginst Bank monsters, and Nulli- fication monsters, and all sorts of mon- sters.’ ‘Well. now, now,’ says Uncle Joshua, ‘how do you suppose we are going to work to make a President, with all these parties in the field, fightin cross banded, and catty-corners, and every which way?” ‘I'm sure | can’t see,’ says I, * unless we can get up a party that will sarroand the whole of ’em as the Irish corporal sur- rounded the half-dozea soldiers that he took prisoners.’ ‘What do youthink of Mr. Calhoun’s plan, said Uncle Joshua, ‘that’s laid down in his works jest published ?’ *What’s that,’ says I, ‘1 don’t think I’ve heard of it.’ ‘Well,’ says he, ‘he recommends to choose ‘wo Presidents, one for the North and one for the South, each side of Ma- son and Dixou’s line; and no law of Con- gress to become a law till it is signed by both Presidenis. How do you think that would work ?” ‘Well, I guess,’ says I, ‘if the country | depended upon laws to live on, it would | starve to death as the ass between two | bundles of hay.’ At that cousia Nabby spoke up, and 'says she,‘ More like the country would | be like a bundie of bay between two ass. es, and would get eat up pretty quick.’ | he looked round as sober as he could. and | | Uncle Joshua couldn’t help smiling, but | | what do you know about politics?’ | * Well, now,’ says J.* let us look at this _plan of Mr. Calhoun’s a little, and see | what itamountsto. His notion was, that | there was two parties. one North and one South of Mason and Dixon’s line, and that under one President they never could a- gree, but would always be quarrelling and fighting and crowding; but if each party could choose a president, then they would get along smooth and quiet, and live as peaceable as lambs. Now, if the doctrine is good for two partieg, it is good for twenty. So, if Mr. Calhoun was right | the best way would be to let the twenty | parties, that are now quarrelling like cats and dogs, go to work and each party choose a President for itself. Then what a happy, peaceable time we should have of it.’ * Well, you’ve fairly run it into the 'ground now,’ says Uncle Joshua, ‘and | “guess we may as well let it stick there. I'm more troubled about electing one Presi- dent than ] am two, or twenty; and | | should like to get your idea how it can be ‘done. I know Gineral Jackson used to think a great deal your opinion, and may | be you can contrive some plan to get us all out of this burly burly that we are in, so that we can make a President next year when the time comes round.’ ‘Well, says 1, *Uncle Joshua, accord- ing to what you say about the parties now-a-days, all split up into flinders, and | cross grained every way, I dont think | there’s much chance for any of ’em to | elect a President, especially if Mr. Ritchie /dont help. But for all that, I think the | thing can be done, and I think there’s two | ways of doing it. One way is, to get up "anew party that surround all the other | parties—I mean areal constitutional par- | ly, an out and out national; a party that _will stand up to the rack, fodder or no | fodder, and go for the Union, the whole | Union, and nothing but the Union, live or die. This party would have to be made | /up out of the twenty parties you have | /named. so | guess we might as well call ' | it the party of * Nadional Come outers,’ | ‘The ’tother way would be. to get ap @& revolulionry-annexation-manifest-desti- /by glory party, and have a great banner | painted, with Cuba on one end and Cana- | da on ’totber, and what there is left of Mexico in the middle; and getupa great _toich-light procession from one end,of the /country to the other, and hire Kossuth | when he gets over here to make stump speeches for our candidate throagh all the States. If we didn’t elect him, I’d go |into reltiracy and settle on the banks of Salt River for life.’ ‘Well. Major,’ says Uncle Joshua, ‘[ think a good deal of your notions, and | wish you Weald think the matter over, aud draw up some plan for us to go by, lor its bigh time we was doing some- thing.’ So, Mr. Gales & Seaton, I remain your old friend, MAJOR JACK DOWNING.

I havea beautiful! piece of Land in the South Eagle Tract which I propose to lay off in small Jots of one fourth of an acre each, for the ac- commodation of Merchants, Doctors, and Mechanics. All such persons would do well to give this rising place due attention. “There is a tide in the affairs of men Which, taken at its Hood, Leads on to” bappiness and wealth. Here isa chance. Capitalists would also do well to look this way. I needa little help to carry on more suc- cessfully, the enterprises in which I am engaged and on which I propose to enter. I am steadily progressing, however, though slowly, with my original schemes, to wit: the erection of Factories for spinning cotton and wool, and for calico printing. But as I advance the fields. This /ocation for manufacturing purposes and for a J'own,is very favorable. It is near enough to the great Central Rail Road, and in a very healthy region of Country.

If we desire to maintain our respecta. hility among the nations of the earth, it be. hoves us to enforce steadily and sternly the neutrality acis passed by Congress, and to fol. low, as far as may be, the violation of those acts with condign punishment. But what gives a peculiar criminality to this invasion of Cuba is, that under the lead of Spade | ixh subjects and with the aid of citizens of the | United States, it had its origin, with many, in | inotives of rapacity. Money was advanced by | individuals, probably in considerable amounts. to purchase Cuban bonde, as they have been | by furee. if necessary, the lauding of adven- turers (rom any nation on the Island of Cuba with hostile intent, ‘The copy of a memoran dum of a conversation on this subject betweea the Charge d’Affaires of her Britanic Majesty and the Acting Secretary of State, and of a sub. sequent note of the former to the Department of State, are herewith submitted, together with a copy of a note of the Acting Secretary of State tu the Minister of the French republic, and of the reply of the later, on the same sub. Ject. These papers will acquaint you with the grounds of this interposition of the two leading commercial powers of Egrope, and with the apprehensions, which this Government could not fail to entertain, that such interposition, if catried into effect, might lead to abuses in der. ogation of the maritime rights of the United States. The maritime rights of the United States are founded on a firm, secure, and well. defined basis; they stand upon the ground of National Ludependence and public law, and will be maintained in all their fall and just ex- tent. The principle which this Government has called, issued by Lopez, sold, doubtless, at very | heretofure solemnly announced it still adheres large discount, and fur the payment of which | to, and will maintain under all circumstances the public lands and public property of Cuba, | and at all hazards. That principle is, that in of whatever kind, and the fiscal resources of every regularly documented merchant vessel, the people and government of that island, from | the crew who wavigate it, and those on board whatever source to be derived were pledged, as | of it, will find their protection in the flag which well as the good faith of the government ex. pected to be established. is over them.

None will deny that those who set on foot mili- lary expeditions agains! foreign States by means like these, are tar more culpable than the ig- norant and necessitous whom they induce to vo forth as the ostensible parties in the procee. ding. “These originators of the invasion of Cu. ba seem to have determined, with coolness and system, upon an undertaking which should dis- grace their country, violate its laws, and put to hazard the lives of ill-informed and deluded men. You will consider whether further legis. lation be necessary to prevent the perpetration of such offences in future, No individuals have a right to hazard the peace of the country or to violate its laws up. on vague notions of allering or reforming gov. enroments in other States. This principle is not only reasopable in itself, and tn accordance with public law, but is engrasied into the codes of other nations as well as our own. But while such are the sentiments of this Government, it may be added that every independent gation must be presumed to be able to defend its pos. sessions against unauthorized individuals band. edtogether to attack them. “Phe Government ot the Unied States, at all times since its es. tablishmenut, has abstained and hae sought to | ing into controversies between other powers, and to observe all the duties of neutrality, At an early period of the Government, in the ad- ministration of Washington, several laws were The main provisions ol these laws were re-enacted by the act of April, 1818, by which, amongst other things, i was declared that it any person shall, within the territory or jurisdiction of the United States, heyin or set on fool, or provide, or prepare the Means tor any military expedition or enterprise lo be carried on from thence against the terri. tory or dominion ofany foreign prince or State, or of any colony, district, or people with whom the Uniued States are at peace, every person so offeuding shall be deemed guilty of a bigh mis. deineanor, and shall be fined, not exceeding | thousand dollars, and imprisoned not more than three years; and this law bas been executed and entoreed, to the full extent of the power of the Government, from thar day to this, In proclaiming and adhering to the doctrine of neutrality and non intervention, the United States have not followed the lead of other civ- passed tor this purpose. three > ilized nations ; they have taken the jlead them. | selves. and have been followed by others. This was admitted by one of the most eminent of modern British statesmen, who said in Parlia als on board, nor can there be allowed any watch by the vessels of any foreign nation over American vessels on the coasts of the United States or the seas adjacent thereto. It will be seen by the last communication from the Bril- ish Charge d’Affaires to the Department of State, that be is authorized to assure the Sec. retary of State that every care with be taken thal, in executing the preventive measures a. gainst the expeditions, which the United States Government itself has denounced as not being entitled to the protection of any governmeut, no interference shall take place with the law. ful commerce of any nation, la addition to the correspondence on this subject, herewith submitted, official information has been received at the Department of State, of assurances by the French government that, in the orders given to the French naval! forces, they were expressly instructed, in any opera. tions they might engage in, to respect the flag of the United States wherever it might appear, and to commit no act of hostility upon any ves- se] or arnament under ils protection. Ministers and consuls of foreigo nations are the means and agents of communication be- tween us and those nations, and it js of the ul. most importance that, while residing in the country, they should teel a perfect security so long as they faithfully discharge their respec- live duties and are guilty of no violation of our laws. This is the admitted law of nations, and no country has a deeper interest in maintaining it than the United States. Our commerce spreads over every sea and visits every clime, and our ministers and consuls are appointed to protect the interests of that commerce, as well as to guard the peace of the country and main. tain the honor of its flag. But how can they discharge these duties unless they be them- selves protected: and, if protected, it must be by the laws of the country in which they re- side. And what is due to our own public fune-- lionaries residing in foreign nations is exactly the measure of what is due to the functionaries of other governments residing here, As in ' war, the bearers of flags of truce are sacred, or else wars would be interminable, so in peace, embassadors, public ministers, and consuls, charged with friendly national intercourse, are “objects of especial respect and protection, each } ) | ment, while a minister of the crown, © that, if he wished for a guide in a system of neutrality, he should take that laid down by America in the days of Washington and the secretaryship ot Jefferson ; and we see, in fact, that the act of | Congress of 1818 was followed, the succeed. | led the attorney of the United States residing at ing year, by any act of the Parliament of Eng. visions. Up to that time there had been no similar law in England, except certain highly penal statutes passed in the reiga of George IL., prohibiting English subjects from enlisting in foreign service, the avowed object of which statutes was, that foreign armies, raised furthe “land, substantially the same in its general pro. | according to the rights belonging to his rank and station, In view of these important prin ciples, it is with deep mortification and regret | announce to you that, during the excitement growing out of the executions at Havana. the office of her Catholic majesty’s consul at New Orleans was assailed by a moh, his property destroyed, the Spanish flag found in the office carried off and torn in pieces, and he himself induced to flee for his personal safety, which he supposed to be in danger. On receiving intelligence of these events, I forthwith direct. New Orleans to inquire into the facts and the extent of the pecuniary loss sustained by the consul, with the intention of laying them be- ‘fore you, that you might make provision for ' such indemnity to bim as a just regard for the { | purpose of restoring the house of Stuart to the | throne. should not be strengthened by recruits from England herself. All must see that difficulties may arise in carrying the laws referred to into execution in a country now having three or four thousand | niles of seacoast, with an infiniie number of ports and barbers and small inlets, from some | { of which unlawful expeditions may suddenly | set forth, without the knowledge of Govern. | ment, against the possessions of foreign States. Friendly relations with all, but entangling alliances with none, has long been @ maxim with us. Our true mission is not to propagate or impose upon other countries our form of government, by artifice or force ; but to teach by example, and show by our suc. cess, moderation and justice, the blessings of self government, and the advantages of free institutions. Let every people choose for itself, and make and aller its political institutions to suit its own condition and convenience. But, while we avow and maintain this neutral poli- cy ourselves, we are anxjous to see the same | forbearance on the part of other nations, whose | forms of government are different’ from our lown. ‘The deep ivterest which we fee! in the | spread of liberal principles and the establish. jmem of free governments, and the sympatby | with which we witness every struggle against | oppression, forbid that we should be indifferent to a case in whicb the strong arm of a foreign power is invoked to stifle public sentiment and repress the spirit of freedom in any country. “Phe governments of Great Britain and France have issued orders to their naval com | manders on the West India station to prevent | | | | | \ | } ( honor of the nation and the respect which is due to a friendly power might, in your judg. ment, seem to require. The correspondence upon this subject between the Secretary of State and her Catholic majesty’s minister plen- ipotentiary is herewith transmitted, The occurrence at New Orleans has led me ‘to give my attention to the state of our laws in regard to foreign embassadors, ministers, and consuls. [think the legislation of the country isdeficientin not providing sufficiently either for the protection or the punishment of consuls. [ thereture recommend the subject to the consi- deration of Congress. Your attention is again invited to the ques- tion of reciprocal trade between the United States and Canada and other British posses- sions near our frontier. Overtures for a con- vention upon this subject have been re- ceived from ber Britanic Majesty’s Minister Plenipotentiary, but it seems to be in many re- spects preferable that the matter should be reg- ulated by reciprocal legislation. Documents are laid before you showing the terms which the British government is willing to offer, and the measures which it may adopt, if some ar- rangement upon this subject shall not be made. From the accompanying copy of a note from the British Legation at Washington, and the reply of the Department of State thereto, it will appear that her Britanic Majesty’s govern- ment is desirousethat a part of the boundary line between Oregon and the British posses. sions should be authoritatively marked out, and that an intention was expressed to apply to Con- gress for an appropriation to defray the expense thereof un the part of the United Siates. Yoor attention to this subject is accordingly invited, and a proper appropriation recommended. _ A cunvention for the adjustment of claims of citizens of the United States against Portugal bas been coneluded, and the ratifieatiogs have been exchanged. The first instalment of the amount to be paid by Portugal fell due on the 30th of September last, and has been paid. The Presideut of the Freach republic, ac. cording to the provisions of the convention, has been selected as arbiter in the case of the Gen- eral Armstrong ; and has signified that he ac- cepts the trust and the high satisfaction he feels in acting as common friend of two nations, with which France is united by sentiments of sin- cere and lasting amity. The Turkish government has expressed its thanks for the kind reception given tc the Sul. tan’s agent, Amin Bey, on the occasion of bis recent visit to the United States. Onthe 28th of February last a despatch was addressed hy the Seeretary of State to Mr. Marsh, the Ame rican Minister at Constantinople, instructing him to ask of the Turkish government permis. sion fur the Hungarians, then imprisoned with- in the dominions of the Sublime Porte, to re- move to this country. On the 3d of March last both Houses of Congress passed a resolution requesting the President to authorize the em. ployment of a public vessel to convey to this country Louis Kossuth and his associates in captivity. The instruction above referred to was com: plied with, and the Turkish government hav- ing released Governor Kossuth and bis com. panions from prison, on the 10:h of September last they embarked on board of the United States steam frigate Mississippi, which was se- lected to carry into effect the resolution of Con. yress. Governor Kossuth left the Mississippi al Gibraltar, for the purpose of making a visit to England, and may shortly be expected in New York. By communications to the De- partment of State he has expressed his grateful acknowledgments for the interposition of this Government in bebalf of himself and his asso. 'ciates. This country has been justly regarded as a safe asylum for those whom political events have exiled from their own homes in Europe ; and it is recommended to Congress to consider in what manner Gevernor Kossuth and bis com- | panions, brought hither by its authority, shall be received and treated, It is earnestly to be hoped that the differences which have fur some time past been pending between the government of the French repub lic and that of the Sandwich Islands, may be peaceably and durably adjusted, so as to secure the independence of those islands. Long be- fore the events which have of late imparted so much importance to the possessions of the Uni. ted States on the Pacific, we acknowledged the independence of the Hawaiian government.— This Government was first in taking that step, and several of the leading powers ot Europe immediately fullowed. We were influenced in this measure by the existing and prospective importance of the islands as a place of refuge and refreshment for our vessels engaged in the _whale fishery, and by the consideration that they lie in the course of the great trade which must, at no distant day, be carried on between the western coast of North America and Eas tern Asia, We were also influenced by a desire that those islands should not pass under the control of any other great maritime State, but should remain in an independent condition, and so he accessible and useful to the commerce of all nations. I need not say that the importance of these considerations has been greatly en- hanced by the sudden and vast development which the interests of the United States have attained in California and Oregon; and the policy heretofore adopted in regard to those | islands will be steadily pursued. It is gratifying not only to those who consid er the commercial interests of nations, but also to all who favor the progress of knowledge and | the diffusion of religion, to see a communily emerge from a savage state and altain such @ | degree of civilization in those distant seas. It is much to be deplored that the internal i tranquility of the Mexican republic should again | be seriously disturbed ; for, since the peace be. tween that republic and the United States, it had enjoyed such comparative repose that the | most favorable anticipations for the future might, | with a degree of confidence, have been indulg- ed. These, however, have been thwarted by the recent outbreak in the State of Tamaulipas, on the right bank of the Rio Bravo. Having | received information that persons from the Ue ' States hadtaken partin the insurrection, and ap. | prehending that their example might be follow. | ed by others, I caused orders to be issued for | ithe purpose of preventing any hostile expedi- | tions against Mexico from being set on fout in| violation of the laws of the United States. I likewise issued a proclamation upon the sub. | ject, a copy of which is herewith laid before | you. This appeared to be rendered imperative | by the obligations of treaties and the general duties of good neighborhood. In my last annual message I informed Con. | gress that citizens of the United States neds undertaken the connexion of the two oceans | by of a railroad across the Isthmus of Tebuan. | lepec, under a grant of the Mexican govern. | ment to a citizen of that republic ; and that | this enterprize would probably be prosecuted with energy whenever Mexico should consent to such stipulations with the Government of the | United States as should impart a feeling of se- curity to those who should invest their property | in the enterprise. A convention between the two governments for the accomplishment of that end has been ratified by this Government, and only awaits | the decision of the Congress and the Executive | of that republic. Some unexpected difficu arisen in the ratification of that Mexico, but it is to be presumed that her deci- sion will be governed by just and enlightened views, as well of the general importance of the object, as of her own interests and obligations. In negotiating upon this important subject, this Government bas had in view one, and only one, object. That object bas been, and is, the construction or attainment of a passage from ocean to ocean, the sbortest and the best for travellers and merchandise, and equally open ' ' ' } | Ities and delays have convention by | 1851, were $215.725,995 Of which there was in specie 4,967,901 ‘The exports for the same period were — $217,517,130 Of which there were of domestic products $178,546,555 Foreign goods re-exported 9,738,695 Specie 29,231,880 $217,517,130 | mented, has | exhibit a decrease amounting to to all the world, Jt has sought to obtain no 4 territorial acquisition, nur any advantages pe- culiar to itself; and it would see, with the greatest regret, that Mexico should oppose any ubstacle to the accomplishment of an eater. prise which promises so much comvenience to the whole commercia] world, and such eminent advantages to Mexico herself. Impressed with these sentiments and these coavictions, the Government will continue to exert all proper efforts to bring about the necessary arrange. meat with the republic of Mexico for the speedy completion of the work. For some months past the republic of Nica. ragua has been the theatre of one of those civil convulsions, from which the cause of free in- stitutions, and the general prosperity and 6o- cial progress of the States of Central America, have so ofien and so severely suffered. Uatil quiet shall have been restored, and a govern. nent apparently stable shall have beeu organ- ized, no advance can prudently be made in dis. posing of the questions pending between the two countries. _ Tam happy to announce that an inter-ocean. ic communication from the mouth of the St. Juhn to the Pacific has been so far accomplish- ed as that passengers have actually traversed it and merchandise bas been transported over it; and when the canal shall have been com. pleted, according to the original plan, the means of communication will be further im- proved. It is understood that a considerable part of the railroad across the Isthmus of Panama has been completed, and that the mail and passen. gers will in future be couveyed thereon. Whichever of the several routes between the two o- ceans may ultimately prove most eligible for travellers to and from the different Stateson the Atlantic and Gulf of Mexico and our coast on the Pacific, there is little reason to doubt that all of them will be useful to the pub- lic, and will liberally reward that individual enterprise, by which alone they have been or are expected to be car ried into effect. Peace has been concluded between the contending par- ties in the Island of St. Domingo, and it is huped upon a durable basis. Such is the extent of our commercial relations with that island, that the United States cannot fail to feel a strong interest in its tranquility. The office of Commissioner to China remains unfilled; several persons have been appointed, the place has been offerred tu others, all of whom have declined its accept- anee, on the ground of the inadequacy of the compensa- tion. The annual allowance by law is six thousand dol- lars, and there is no provision for eny outfit. I earnest- ly recommend the consideration of this subject to Con- gress. Our commerce with China is slightly important, and is becoming more and more so, in eonsequence of the increasing intercourse between our ports on the Pa- cific coast and Eastern Asia. China is understood to be a country in which living is very expensive, and I know of no reason why the American Commissioner sent thither should not be placed, in regard to compen- sation, on an equal footing with ministers who represent this country at the courts of Europe. By referenee to the Report of the Seeretary of the Treasury, it will be seen that the aggregate reccipts for the last fiscal year amounted to $52,312,979,87 ; which witi) the balance in the Treasury on the Ist July, 1850, gave, as the available means for the year, the sum of $58,917,524,36. The total expenditures for the same period were $48,- 005,878,68. The total imports for the year ending 30th June, Since the Ist of December last the payments in cash on account of the public debt, exclusive of interset, have amounted to $7,501,456,56 ; which however, includes the sum of $2,342,400 paid under the 12th article of the treaty with Mexico, and the further sum of $2,591,- 213,45, being the amount of awards to American Citi- zens under the late treaty with Mexico, for which the issue of stock was authorized, but which was paid in cash from the Treasury. The public debt on the 20th ultimo,(@ii@usive of the stock authorized to be issued to Texas bY the act of 9th September, 1850, was $62,560,395,26. The receipts for the fiscal year are estimated at $51,- 800,000, which, with the probable unappropriated bal- ance in the Treasury, on the 30th June, next, will give, as the probable available means fur that year, the sam of $63,253,743,09. It has been deemed proper, in the view of the large expenditures consequent upon the acquisition of territory from Mexico, that the estimates for the next fiscal year should be Jaid before Congress in such manner as to dis- tinguish the expenditures so required from the other wise ordinary demands upon the Treasury. The total expenditures for the next fiscal year are es- timated at $42,892,299,19, of which there is required for the ordinary purposes of the Government, other than those consequent upon the acquisition of our new ‘Ter- ritories, and deducting the payments on account of the public debt, the sum of $33,343,198,03 ; and for the | purposes connected directly or indirectly with those Ter- ritories, and in the fulfilment of the obligations of the demand for i im 8 sretion It ean ee ene experts in the single item of raw cot- ton by $40,000,000 over the value of that export for the year preceding.

The production of ie California for the past year seems to promise a large supply of that metal from that quarter for come time to come. / This Jarge aneual in- crease of the ef the world mast be attended with its annual results. These have been already par- ually disclosed in the enhancement of prices.and © ris- tng spirit ef a speculation and adventure, tending te overtrading, as well at home as abroad. Unless seme salutary check shall be given to these tendencies, it ig to be feared that importations of foreign beyond a healthy demand in this country will lead to a sudden drain of the precivus metals from ua, bringing with it, as it has done in former times, the most disastrous conae- quences to the business and capital vf the American ; The exports of specie to liquidate our foreign debt du- ring the past fiscal year have been $24,263,979 over the amouut of specie imperted during. the first quarter of the present fiscal year they have been $14,651 ,827,, Should specie continue to be exported gy this rate for the remainiag three quarters of this , it will strain from our metallic currency during the euding 30th June, 1852, the enormous amount of 607,308. In the present prosperous condition of the national fir nances, it will become the duty of Congress to consider the best mode of paying off the public debt. If thé pre-’ seut and anticipated surplus in the Treasury should be absorbed by appropriations of extraordinary character, this surplus should be employed in such way, and under such restrictions, as Congress may enact, in extinguish- ing the outstanding debt of the nation. By reference to the act of Congress epproved 9th September, 1850, it will be seen that, in consideration of certain concessions by the State of ‘Texas, it is pro- vided that the ‘ United States shall pay to the State of Texas the sum of ten millions of dollars, in a stack bear- ing five per cent interest, and redeemable at the end of fourteen years, the interest payable half yearly, at the ‘Treasury of the United States.” In the same section of the law it is further provided that no more than five millions of said stock shall be is- sued until the creditors of the State holding bonds and other certifieates of stock of ‘'exas, for which duties on imports were specially pledged, shall first fle at the Treasury of the United States releuses of all claims a- gainst the United States, furor en account of said bonds or certificates, in such form as shall be prescribed by the Secretary of the ‘Treasary, and approved by the Presi- dent of the United States.” The form of release thus provided for has been pre- scribed by the Secretary of the Treasury, aud approved. It has been published in all the leading newspapers ia the commercial cities in the United Stutes, and all per- sons holding claims of the kind specified in the forego- ing proviso were required to file their release (in the form thus preseribed) in the Treasury of the United States, on or bofore the Ist day of Octob@, 1851. Al- though this publication has been continued from the 25th day of March, 1851, yet up to the Ist of October last comparatively few releases had been filed by the creditors of Texas, The authorities of the State of Texas, at the request of the Secretary of the Treasury, have furnished a schedule of the public debt of that State created prior to her admission into the Union, with a copy of the laws under which each class was contracted. I have, from the documents furnished by the State of Texas, determined the classes of claims which iu my judgment fall within the provisions of the act of Con- gress of the 9th of September, 1850. On being officially infurmed of the acceptanee by Tex- as of the propositions contained in the act referred to, 1 caased the stock to be prepared, aud the five millions which are to be issued unconditionally, bearing an in- terest of five per cent, frum the Ist day of January, 1851 have been, for some time ready to be delievered to the States of Texas. The authorities of Texas up to the present time, have not authorized any one to re- ceive this stock, and it remainsio the Treasury Depart- ment, subject to the order of ‘Texas. The releases required by law to be deposited in the Treasury, not having been filed there, the remaining five millions have not becn issued. ‘This |ast amount of the stock will be withheld from Tex:s until the conditions upon which it is to be delivered shall be compiied with by the creditors of that State, unless Congress shall oth- erwise direct by a modification of the law. In my last annual message, to which I respectfully refer I stated briefly the reasons which induced me to recom- mend a moditication of the present tariff, by converting the ad valorem into a specific duty, wherever the arti- cle imported was of such a discrimination should be made in favor of the industrial pursuits of our own coun- try, as to encourage home production without excluding foreign competition. The numerous frauds whieh continue to be practised upon the revenue, by false invoices and undervaluations, constitute an unanswerable reason for adupting specitie instead of ad valorem duties in all cases wlivre the na- ture of the commodity does not forbid it. A striking il- Justration of these frauds will be exhibited in the Report of the Secretary of the Treasury, showing the custorr house valuation of articles imported uuder a turmer lav subject to specific duties, when there was no induce- ment to undervaluation, and the custom-hvuse valua- tions of the same articles, under the present system of ad valorem duties, so greatly reduced as to leave nu doubt of the existence of the most flagrant abuses onder the existing law. This practical evasion of the present law, combined with the great interests of the couniry, caused by over importations and consequent depressed prices, and with the failure in obtaining @ foreiga mark- et for our increasing surplus of breadstatls end provis- ions, has induced me again tu recommend a modifica- tion of the existing tariff. The report of the Secretary of the Interior, which | accompanies this communication, will present a con- densed statement of the operations of that important de- partment of Government. It will be seen that the cash sales of the public lands excced those of the preceding year, and that there is reason to anticipate a still further increase, notwithstand- Government, contracted in consequence of their acqui- sition, the sum of $9,549,101,11. If the views of the Secretary of the Treasury in re- ference to the expenditures required for these Ternto- ries shall be met by corresponding action on the part of Congress, and appropriations made in accordance there- with, there will be an estimated unappropniated balance | in the Treasury on the 30th June, 1853, of $2U,366,- | 443,90, wherewith to meet that portion of the public debt due on the first July following, amounting to $6,- | 237,931,35, as well as any appropmations which may be made beyond the estimates. In thus referring to the estimated expenditures on ac- count of our newly-acquired ‘Territories, I may express the hope that Congress will coucur with me in the de- | sire that a liberal course of policy may be pursued to- wards them, and that every obligation, expressed or im- | plied, entered into in consequence of their acquisition, | shall be fulfilled by the most liberal appropriations for | that purpose. The values of our domestic exports for the last fiscal year | compared with those of the previous year, exhibit an in- | crease of $42,646,322. At first view this condition of | our trade with foreign nations would seem to present | the most flattering hopes of its future prusperity. Ano examiuation of the details of our exports, however, will show that the increased value of our exports for the last fiscal year is to be found in the high price of cotton | which prevailed during the first half of that year, which |} bas since declined about one-half. The value of our exports of breadstuffs and provisions, which it was supposed the incentive of a low tariff and large importations from abroad would have greatly aug- fallen from $68,701,921 in 1847, to $26,- | 051,373 in 1850, and to $21,948,653 in 1851, with a | strong probability, amounting almost to & certainty, of a still further reduction in the current year. . | The aggregate values of rice exported during the last | fiscal year, as compared with the previous year. also | $460,917, which with | a decline in the values of the exports of tabacco for the | same period, make an aggregate decreage iu these two | articles of $1,156,751. The policy which dictated a low rate of daties on for- | eign merchandize it was ted and established it, would tend to benefit the farming lation of this country, by inereasing the demand and raising the price of agricultural produets in foreign markets. ; The foregoing facts, however, seem to show incon- testibly that no sach result has followed the adoption of this policy. On the contrary, notwithstanding the re- | regard to their duties. thought by those who promo- | | the best polic ing the large dunations whieh have been inade to many of the States, and the liberal grants to individuals as a reward for military services. ‘This fact furnishes very gratifying evidence cf the growiug wealth and prosperi- ty of the country. Suitable measures have been adopted for commencing the survey of the public lands in California and Oregon. Surveying parties have been organized, and some pro- gress hus been made in establishing the principal base and meridian lines. But further legislation and additional appropriations will be necessary before the proper sub- divisions can be made, and the general land system ex- tended over those remote parts of vur territory. On the 3d of March last an act was passed providing for the appointment of three commissioners to settle pri- vate land claimsin California. Three persons were im- | mediately appointed, all of whom, however, declined accepting the office, in consequence of the inadequacy of the compensation. Others were promptly sclected, who, for the same reason, also declined , and it was pot until late in the season that the services of suitable persons could be secured. A majority of the commis- sioners convened, in this city, on the 10th of September last, when detailed instructions were given to them in Their first meeting for the wans- action of business will be held in San Francisco on the 8th day of the present month. I have thought it proper to refer to these facts not only to explain the causes of the delay in filling the | commission, but to call your attention to the propriety of increasing the compensation of the commissioners. — The office is one of great labur and responsibility, and the compensation should be such as to command meu of a high order of talents end the most unquestionable integrity. The proper disposal of the mineral lands of California ia a subject surrounded by great difficulties. In my last annual message I recommended the survey sod sale of them in small parcels, under such restrictions as would effectually guard against monopuly and specule- tion. Bat upon further information, and in deference to the opinions of persuns familiar with the subject, lam inelined to change that recommendation, and to advise that they be permitted to remain, as at prveedts @ com- mon field, open to the enterprise and industry of all our citizens, until further experience shall have developed y to be ultimately advpted in regard tu | them.

The Superintendent of the Seventh Census is diligewtly employed, under the direction of the Secretary of the Interior, in classifying and arranging, in tabular form, all the statistical in- formation derived from the returns of the mar- shals, and it is believed that when the work sha}l be completed it_will eghidjt 4 more per- fect view of the population, wealth, occupations, and sogia! condition of a great country, than has ever been presented ta the world. The value of such a work, as the basis of enlight- ened legislation, can hardly be over estimated; and [ earnestly hope that Congress will lase no our national character. The want of auniform fee bill, prescribing the compensation to be allowed district attor- neys, clerks, marshals, and commissioners in civil and criminal cases, js the cause of much vexation, injustice, and complaint. [ would recommend a thorough revision of the laws on the whole subject, and the adoption of a tariff of fees which, as fyr as practicable, should be uniform, and prescribe a specific compensation for every service which the officer may be re- | quired to perform. ‘This subject will be frliy , presented jn the report of the Secretarv of the Interior. In my last annual message I gave briefly my reasons for believing that you possessed the constitutional power to iroprove the harbors of | ion of our principal yivers, and recommended | that appropriations should be made for complet. | ing such vrorks as had already been commenc- ed, ap% for commencing such others as might seem to the wisdom of Congress to be of pub- lic and yeneral importance. Without repeat- ing the reasons then urged, [ deem it my duty again to call your attention to this important subject. ‘The works on many of the harbors were left in an unfinished state, and conse- quently exposed to the action of the elements, which is fast destroying them. Great numbers of lives and vast amounts of property are an- | nually lost far want of safe and convenient har- bors on the Jakes. None but those who have been exposed to that dangerous navigation can fully appreciate the importance of this subject. The whole North West appeals to yoy for re. lief, and [trust their appeal will receive due consideration at your hands. ‘The same is in a measure true in regard to some of the harbors and inlets on the seacoast. The unobstructed navigation of our large rivers is of equal importance. Our settlements are now extending to the sources of the great rivers which empty into, and forma part of the Mississippi, and the value of the public lands in thase regions would be greatly enhanced by | freeing the navigation of those waters from ob- structions. In view, therefore, of this great interest, | deem it my duty again to urge upon | Congress to make such appropriations for these | improvements as they may deem necessary. | ‘Tbe survey of the Delta of the Mississippi, | with a view to the prevention of the overflows } | country, have been nearly completed, and the | reports thereof are now in course of prepara- | tion, and will shortly be laid before you. The protection of our southwestern frontier, and of the adjacent Mexican Siates, against the Jndian tribes within our border, bas claimed | my earnest and constant attention, Congress having failed, at the last session, to agont my | recommendation that an additional regimeat of | mounted men specially adapted to that service | should be raised, all that remained to be dune | was to make the best use of the means at my | disposal. Accordingly, all the truops adapted |to that service that could properly be spared | from other quarters have been concentrated on that frontier, and officers of high reputation se. lected to command them, A new arrangement | of the military posts has also been made where. | | by the troo » brought nearer to the Mexican frontier and TO the tribes they are intended to overawe. Sufficient time has not yet elapsed to realize all the benefits that are expected to result from these arrangements, but I have every reason | to hope that they will effectually check their marauding expeditions. Vhe nature of the , country, which furnishes little for the support ,of an army and abounds in places of refuge | and concealment, is remarkably well adapted \o this predatory warfare ; and we can scarce ly hope that any military foree, combined with | the greatest vigilance, can entirely suppress it. By the treaty of Gaudalupe Hidalgo we are | bound to protect the territory of Mexico against _the incursions of the savage tribes within our | border * with equal diligence and energy” as | if the same were made within our territory or against our citizens. I have endeavored to comply, as far as possible, with this provision ofthe treaty. Orders have been given to the officers commanding on that frontier to consider (the Mexican territory and its inhabitants as equally with our own entitled to their protec. | tion; and to make all their plans and arrange. | ments with a veiw tothe atlainment of this ob- ject.

The expenditures of that Départment, for the year ending 80th June last, were $9,060,268. 58.

The Board of Commissioners, to whom the management of the affairs of the Militarry Asy- lum created by the act of 3d March last was entrusted, have selected a site for thé establish- | ment of an Asylum in the vicinity of this city, which has been approved by me, subject to the production of a satisfactory title. The report of the Secretary of the Navy will exhibit the condition of the public service under the supervision of that Department. Our naval force afloat during the present year has been actively and usefully ensployed in giving pro- tection to our wide,y-extended and increasing commerce ard interests in the various quarters | of the globe, and our flag has everywhere affurd. ed the security and received the respect in- | spired by the justice and liberality of our inter. ' course, and the dignity and power of the nation. | ‘The expedition commanded by Lieutenant | De Haven, despatched in search of the British | commander, Sir John Franklin, and bis com. | panions in the Arctic Seas, returned to New York in the month of October, afler having un. dergone great peril and suffering from an un- | known and dangerous navigation and the rig- ors of a nothern climate, without any satisfac. tory information of the objects of their search, | but with new contributions to science and navi- | gation from the unfrequented polar regions.— | ‘The officers and men of the expedition, having | been all volunteers for this service, and having | so conducted it as to meet the entire approba.- tion of the Government, it is suggested, as an | | act of grace and generasity, that the same al. | lowance of extra pay and emoluments be ex. tended to them that were made to the officers and men of like rating in the late exploring ex- pedition to the South Seas. I earnestly recommend to your attention the necessity of reorganizing the Naval Establish. ment, apportioning and firing the number of officers in each grade, providing some mode of promotion to the higher grades of the navy, having reference to merit and capacity, rather than seniorty or date of entry into the service, and for retising from the effective list upon re- duced pay those who may be incompetent to the p2rformance of active duty. As a mea- sure of economy as well as of efficiency in this arm of the service, the provision last mentioned is eminently worthy of your consideration. The determination of the questions of rela. | live rank between the sea officers and civil of- ficers of the navy, and between officers of the | | army and navy, in the various grades of each, | will also merit your attention. The failure to | | provide any substitute, when corporal punish- | ment was abolished for offences in the navy, | | | | | courts-martial upon the arrival of vessels in port, and is believed to have had an injurious effect upon the discipline and efficiency of the service. ‘To moderate punishment from one | grade to anuther is among the humane reforms of the age; but to abolish one of severity, which applied so generally to offences on ship- board, and provide nothing in its stead, is to suppose a progress of improvement in every igdivie!al among seamen which is not assumed by the Legisla!re in respect to any other class of men. It is hujed that Congress, in the am. ple opportunity atfurded by ihe present session, will thoroughly investigate tiis important sub. 2 ject, and establigh such modes of determining . . | Consistent with humanity and the personal | rights of individuals and at the same time shall | ensure the most energetic and efficient perfor. | mance of duty and of the suppression of crime | in our ships of war. The stone dock in the navy yard at New| York, which was ten years in process of con. | struction, has been so far finished as to be sur. rendered up to the authorities of the yard. ‘The dry dock at Philadelphia is reported as comple- ted, and is expected soon to be tested and de- livered over to the agents of the Government. That at Portsmouth, New Hampshire, is also | nearly ready for delivery; and a contract has been concluded, agreeably to the act of Cun. | gress at ils last session, for a floating sectional | dock on the Bay of San Francisco. I invite your altention to the recommendation of the , | Department touching the establishment of a | navy yard in conjunction with this dock on the | | Pacific. Such a station is highly necessary to | |the convenience and effectiveness of our fleet | _in that ocean, which must be expected to in. | crease with the growth of commerce. and the | | tfapid extension of our whale fisheries over its | walers.

The advantages of science in nautical affairs have rarely been more strikingly illustrated than in the fact stated in the report of the Navy Department, that, by means of the wind and current charts, projected and prepared by Lieu- tenant Maury, the Superintendent of the Naval Observatory, the passage from the Atlantic to the Pacific ports of our country has been shor. tened by about forty days. The estimates for the support of the Navy and Marine Corps the ensuing fiscal year will be found to be $5,856,472 19, the estimates for the current year being $5,900,621. The estimates for special objects under the control of this Department amount to $2,684, 220 89, against $2,210,980 for the present year, the increase being occasioned by the ad. ditional mail service on the Pacific coast and the construction of the dock in California, au- thorized at the last session of Congress, and some slight additions under the bead of improve. ments and repairs in navy yards, buildings and , machinery.

At the close of the last fiscal year, the length of mail routs within the United States was 196.290 miles ; the annual transportation there- on 53,272,252 miles ; and the avoual. cost of such transportation $3,421,754. _ The length of the foreign mail routes is esti- mated at 18,349 miles; and the annual trans- portation thereon at 615,206 miles. ‘The an- nual cost of this service is $1.472,187, of which $448,937 is paid by the Post Office Depart- ment, and $1,023,250 is paid through the Na- vy Department. " The annual transportation within the Uited States (excluding the service in California and Oregon, which is now, fur the first time, repcr- ted-and embraced in the tabular statements of the Department) exceeds that of the preceding year 6,162,855 miles, and an increased cost of $547,110. x. The whole number of post offices in the Uni- ted States, onthe 30th day of Juue last, was 19,796. ‘There were 1,698 post offices estab. lished, and 256 discontinued, during the year. The gross revenues of the Department for the fiscal year, including the appropriations for the franked matter of Congress, of the Depart- ments, and oflicers of Government, and exclu- ding the foreign postages, collected for and pay- able to, the British post office, amounted to $6,727,866 78. ‘The expenditures of the same period, (in- cluding $20,599 49, paid under an award of the Auditor, in pursuance of a resolution of the last Congress, for mail service on the Ohio and Mississippi rivers in 1832 and 1833, and the amount paid tothe British post office for for. eign postages collected for and payable to that office) amounted to $6,024,566 79 ; leaving a balance of revenue over the proper expendi- tures of the year of $703,299 99. The receipts for postages during the year (excluding the foreign postages collected for and payable to the British post office) amount. ed to $6,345,748 21, being an increase of $997,610 79, or 18.65.100 per cent. over the like receipts for the preceding year. The reduction of postage, under the act of March last, did not take effect until the com. mencement of the present fiscal year. ‘The accounts for the first quarter, under the opera- tion of the reduced rates, will not be settled betore January next; and no reliable estimate of the receipts for the present year can yet be made. It is believed, however, that they will fall far short of those of the last year. The surplus of the revenues now on hand is, how. ever, so large that no further appropriation from the treasury, in aid uf the revenue of the, De. partment, is required for the current fiscal year; but an additional appropriation for the year ending June 30, 1853, will probably be found necessary when the receipts of the first two quarters of the fisca! year are fully ascertained. In his last annual report the Postmaster Ge. neral recommended a reduction of postage to _ rates which he deemed as low as could be pru- dently adopted, unless Congress was prepared to appropriate from the treasury, for the sup- port of the Department, a sum more than equiv. alent to the mail services performed by it for the Government. ‘The recommendations of the | Postmaster General. in respect to Jetter post- age, except on letters from and to California and Oregon, were substantially adopted by the last Congrers. He now 1ecommends adher- ence to the present letter rates. and advises against a further reduction until justified by the revenue of Department. He also recommends that the rates of post- age on printed matter be so revised as to ren- der them more simple, and more uniform in their operation upon all classes of printed mat- ter. I submit the recommendations of the re- nort to your favorable consideration. The vublic statutes of the United States have now wbcen accumulating for more than sixty years, and, inujerspersed with private acts, are scattered through numerous volumes, and, from the cost of the whole, have become *!most in- accessible to the great mass of the communilly,. They also exhibit much of the incongruity anu imperfection of hasty legislation. As it seems to be generally conceded that there is no “ com- mon law” of the United States to supply the defects of their legislation, it is most important that that legislation should be as perfect as pos- sible, defining every power intended to he con. ferred, every crime intended to be made pun- ishable, and prescribing the punishment to be inflicted. In addition to some particular cases spoken of more at length, the whole criminal code is now lamentably defective. Some of. fences are imperfectly described, and others are entirely omilted ; so that flagrant crimes The scale of punishment is not in all cases graduated ac- cording to the degree and nature of the offence, and is often rendered more unequal by the dif. ferent modes of imprisonment, or peniteniary confinement, in the different States. Many laws of a permanent character have been introduced into appropriation bills, and it is often difficult to determine whether the par. ticular clause expires with the temporary act of which it is a part, or continues in force. It has also frequently happened that enactments and provisions of law have been introduced into bills, with the title or general subject of which ments have been heaped upon each other, and often with but little consideration, that, in many instances, it is difficult to search out and deter. mine what is the iaw. ‘The Government of the United States is em. phatically a government of written laws. The statutes should, therefore, as far as practicable, not only be made accessible to all, but be ex. pressed in language so plain and simple as to be understood by all, and arranged in such method as to give perspicuity to every subject. Many of the States have revised their public acts with great and manifest benefit ; and I re. commend that provision be made by law for the appointment of a commission to revise the public statutes of the United States, arranging them in order, supplying deficiencies, correct. ing jncongruities, simplifying their language, and reporting them to Congress for its action. An act of Congress approved 30th Septem. ber, 1850, contained 4 provjsjon for the exten. sion of the Capitol, according jo such plan as might be approved by the President, and ap- propriated one bundred thousand dollars to he expended under his direction, by such architect as he should appoint to execute the same. Ono examining the various plans which had been submiticd by different architects, in pursuance | * e wa ac- was the a oo -—“The gagat ula . splish f was to | make such an addi wo fo nee and convenient halls for the deliberations the two Houses of Congress, == — mmodati for spectatars, and sulla bpartments ott Lididthees and officers of of the Legislature. It was also desirable not to mar the barmony and beauty of the present structure, which, as a specimen of architecture, is 80 universally ad. mitted. Keeping these objects in view, I con- cluded to make the addition by wings, deieck ed from the present building, yet connecte with it by: corridors. ‘This mode of enlarge- ment will leave the present Capitol uninjured, and afford great advantages for ventilation and the ‘admission of light, and will enable the work fo progress without interrupting the de- liberations of Congress. ‘To carry this plan into effect I have appointed an experienced and competent architect. The cornerstone was laid on the 4th day of July last, with suitable ceremonies, since which time the work has advanced with commendable rapidity, and the foundations of both wings are now neurly com. lete. ; Y I again commend to your favorable regard the inter- ests of the District of Columbia, and deem it only nee cessary to remind you, that although itd inhabitants have no voice in the choice of re ntatives in Con- gress, they are not the less entitled to a just and Jiberal consideration in your legislation. My opinions on this subject were more fully expressed in my last annual @mmunication. ; Other subjects were brought to the attention of Con- gress in my last annual message, to which I would res- pectfully refer. But there was one of more than ordi- nary interest to which I again invite your special atten- tion. I allude to the recommendation for the appoint- ment of a commission to settle private claims against the United States. Justice to individuals as well as to the Government imperatively demands that some more con- | venient and expeditious mode than an appeal to Con- gress should be adopted. It is deeply to be regretted that in several instances officers of the Government, in attempting to execute the law for the return of the fugitive from labor, have been openly resisted, and efforts frustrated and defeated by lawless and violent mobs ; that in one case such resist- ance resulted in the death of an estimable citizen, and in others serious injury ensued to those officers and to the two branches individuals who were using their endeavors to sustain the laws. Prosecutions have been instituted against the alleged offenders, so far as they could be identified, and are still pending. I have regarded it as my duty, in these cases, to give all aid legally in my power to the enforcement of the Jaws, and I shall continue to do so wherever end whenever their execution may be resisted. The act of Congress for the return of fugitives from labor is one required and demanded by the express words of the Constitution. The Constitution declares, “ That no person held to service or labor in one State, under the laws thereof, escaping ina another, shall, in consequence of any law or regulation therein, be discharged from such service or Jabor, but shall be delivered up on claim of the party to whom such service or Jabor may be due.” This com stitutional provision is equally obligatory upon the Legis- lative, the Executive, and Judicial Departments of the Government, and upon every citizen of the U. States. Congress, however, must, from necessity, first act upon the subject, by prescribing the proceedings neces- sary to ascertain that the person is a fugitive, and the means to-be used for his restoration to the claimant.— This was done by an act passed during the first term of President Washington, which was amended by that en- acted by the lust Congress, and it now remains for the Executive and Judicial Departments to take care that these laws be faithfully executed. This injunction of the Constitution is as peremptory and as binding as any other ; it stands exactly on the same foundation as that clause which provides for the return of fugitives from justice, or that which declares that no bill of attainder or ex post facto law shall be passed, or that which pro- vides fur an equality of taxation, according to the cen- sus, or the clause declaring that all duties shall be uni- form throughout the United States, or the important provision that the trial of all crimes shall be by jury.— These several articles and clauses of the Canstitution, all resting on the same authority, must stand or fall to- gether. Some objections have been urged against the details of the act for the return of fugitives from labor ; but it is worthy of remark that the main opposition is aimed against the Constitution itself, and proceeds from persons and classes of persons, many of whom declare their wish to see that Constitution overturned. They avow their hostility to any law which shall give full and practical effect to this requirement of the Constitution. Fortunately, the number of these persons is compara- tively small, and is believed to be daily diminishing, but the issue which they present isone which involves the supremacy and even the existence of the Constitution. Cases have heretofore arisen in which individuals have denied the binding authority of acts of Congress, and even States have proposed to nullify such acts, upon the ground that the Constitution was the supreme law of the land, and that those acts of Congress were repug- nant to that instrument; but nullification is now aimed not so much against particular Jaws as being inconsist- ent with the Constitution, as against the Constitution itself; and is not to be disguised that a spirit exists and has been actively at work to rend assunder this Union, which is our cherished inheritance from our revolution- ary fathers. In my last annual message I stated that I considered the series of measures, which had been adopted at the previous session, in reference to the agitation growing out of the Territorial and slavery questions, as a final settlement in principle and substance of the dangerous and exciting subjects which they embraced ; and I re- commended adherence to the Adjustment established by those measures, until time and experience should de- monstrate the necessity of further legislation to guard against evasion or abuse. I was not induced to make this recommendation because I thought those measures perfect, for no human legislation can be perfect. Wide differences and jarring opinions can only be reconciled by yielding something on all sides, and this result had been reached after an angry conflict cof many months, in which one part of the country was arrayed against an- other, and violent convulsion seemed to be imminent.— Looking at the interests of the whole country, I felt it | to be my duty to seize upon this Compromise as the best that could be obtained amid conflicting interests, and to insist upon it as a final settlement, to be adhered to by all who value the peace and wellfare of the coun- try. A year has now elapsed since that recommenda- tion was made. ‘To that recommendation I still ad- here, and I congratulate you and the country upon the general acquiescence in these measaresof peace, which has been exhibited in all parts of the Republic.

It appears that John Moore and his wife Elizabeth, resi- ding about five miles from the city, whilst in a state of intoxication, got to quarrel-' ing when the husband, who had a double- barreled gun in hand, fired at his wife; blowing off the right side of her head.— He then fired the contents of the other barrel into his right side, pulling the trig-) ger with his foot, the ball entering his eart. Two little girls, their children, ere found weeping over the bodies. It is a matter of specolation that not, one single prominent candidate of the De- mocracy for the Presidency, voted for the Fugitive Slave Bill.

We have not had time to notice the reading. matter of this. number. We have not forgot, however, that the last year’s Christmas sheet con- tained a story in which socialism was plainly advocated. The heads of fami- lies should look to these things, otherwise they might unconsciously sow the seeds of sorrow. | | {F The day of sale.in. the sale Notice of the Cowan lands, advertised by the | Clerk and Master, was accidentally omit- _ted.

The Rutherfordton Banner, says: Droves of hogs are passing every day. Drovers here ask 6 cents gross, and are selling in South Carolina at 5 cts. That is the way they always work us. We'll bet high on buying bacon in Columbia next summer at 6 or 7 cts. Messrs. Reynolds, Willson & Co., are selling out a drove here, at 7 cents, neat. Another drove arrived last evening. Buyers are slow and reluctant in their purchases. A great many have not yet supplied them- selves, and are either waiting for a fall in the prices or ‘for more favorable weather for butchering.

Strange—Truly Strange.—Not long since. in France, a young man, who had been frozen on the Alps for eleven months, was revived by having infused into his system blood from the body ofa living man. Upon this being done, he both moved and spoked. The experiment was afterwards tried upona hare, and with 0 Our Table—We fiod upon it, this week, the new literary paper of Messrs. Wiley and Cook, the “ Weekly Post,” and a very beautiful paper it is too. This is the first number, and contains several chapters of an original story, entitled the Wizard of the Pilot Mountain. We have also Leonagp, Scort & Co's reprint of the “ Edinburg Review.” This is a standard work, and all literary men should get jt, Protestant divines would complete success. This we give upon the au- thority of the Home Journal, where it is grave- ly affirmed ; which, however, we must confess, does not entirely satisfy our miods as to the correctness. It is so uiterly opposed to all our notions of bumat existence that nothing short ofa demonstration could induee our credence of a proposition so startling. We give itas an “regard the State bar: the right of seceding’ - Bk t we ing decided, that whilst is. fundamental and indi le, the exercise of i by a single State. without. well grounded. assurance of the concurrence: and support ‘of other States, is not the appropriate remedy for existing grievances, nor the sufficient safeguacd against those which menace us in the future, and that any attempt directly or indirectly to accomplish this prpose would be made in con. oo ofthe clear declaration of the public will, Resolved, 2. That we regard the State as having decided that concert of action a the Slaveholding States or a sufficient number of them to make their action effectual is essen. tial to remedy existing evils, and to protect themselves against those which impend over them, and that a co-operation among them for these purposes ought to be earnestly sought af. ter and promoted. Resolved, 3. That the State maintains a deep and indignant sense of the grievances and dangers which oppress and assail her, and perseveres in her determination to remove and avert them, so soon as the co-operation of other Slaveholding States shall give to her action efficiency. and render her security pecmanent. Mr. L. M. Kerrrt then offered the following resolutions : Whereas, in the recent election held for Dep- ulies to the proposed Southern Congress, those opposed to the seperate Secession of So. Ca. from the Union, in many of the Districts of the State, not only declared before the people that they are opposed to submission of So. Ca., to the past wrongs inflicted on them by the Gov. ernment, but actually proposed various projects of resistance short of Secession. ‘lherefore Resolved, 1. That by the recent election of members to a Sothern Congress, the people of South Carolina, did not determine that they are in favor of the submission of the State to the past wrongs inflicted on them by the General Government. Resolved, 2. That ‘no submission” should still be the watch word of the State, (as it was in the late election by many of them opposed to Secession,) which should call together all the true resistance men of all parties in patriot. ic co-operation to save the rights, honor, and integrity of the State. Resolved, 3. ‘That all the wrongs inflicted in the State by the General Government, re- main as they were when the Legislature order. ed an election for a Convention of the People ofthe State in their high sovreign capacity, to consider and determine for themselves what inode of redress in relation thereto it is expedi- ent for them to pursue, and consistency in the Legislature as well as that respect, which should always be borne towards the People, requires that a day should be designated by the Legislature for the assembling of said Conven- tion. These, upon motion of Mr. Keitt, were also made the special order for Thureeay next, in Committee of the Whole, at 1 p. m. It now being 1 o'clock, the special order— the Bill giving the election of Electors of Pre- sident and Vice President to the people—was called for by Mr. Perry, of Greenville, where- upon the House went into Committee,—Mr. Williams, of York, in the Chair. Mr. Perry took the floor in favor of the bill. Mr. Middleton, of Prince George, Winyab, replied very briefly. Mr. Hutson followed with a few remarks, and concluded by offering a resolution that the Committee do rise and report against the bill, which resolution was adopted. The Committee according]y arose. Mr. Williams, from the Committee of the Whole, then reported in accordance with the resolution of Mr, Hutson. Mr. Perry, of Greenville, called for the ayes and noes onthe vote upon agreeing to the re- port, which resulted as follows: ayes, 66— noes, 48 ; so thal the billis virtually lost.

I have a beautiful piece of Land in the South Eagle Tract which I propose to lay off in small Jots of one fourth of an acre each, for the ac- commodation of Merchants, Doctors, and Mechanics. All such persons weald do well to give this rising place due attention. “There is a tide in the affairs of men Which, taken at its flood, Leads on to” happiness and wealth. Here is a chance. Capitalists would also do well to look this way. Ineeda little help to carry on more suc- cessfully,the enterprises in which I am engaged and on which I propose to enter. I am steadily progressing, however, though slowly, with my oriyinal schemes, to wit: the erection of Factories for spinning cotton and wool, and for calico printing. But as I advance the prospect opens up, and invites to larger and more fruitful fields. This location for manufacturing purposes and for a Town, is very favorable. It is near enough to the great Central Rail Road, and ina very healthy region of Country. 1] will sell lots privately on the most favorable terms to suit purchasers. The water power on the South Eagle Tract, is immense,and capable of driving almost any amount of Machinery.

To all whom it may Concern. This is to certify that I have been afflicted with Can- cer for the last forty years or more, and after a series of operations performed by different physicians, who sometimes partially healed it, it would break out again. Finally a physician effected a cure on my upper lip, (for that was its locality) but in a short time it broke out on my forenead about nine or ten years ago. It soon be- gan to enlarge, until [ again had to call in medical aid, but to no effect. It grew worse and worse, until it was about a third larger than a hard dollar, and extended from the edge of my hair to my eye-brow. My friends generally thought that it would soon killme: the sinell of it was quite offensive. Whilst in this extremity, I applied to Mr. A. F. Atkins, and I am happy to say he effected a cure in six weeks without the use of the knife: his treatment js somewhat severe, but lasts only a short, time. My cancer has been well upwards of four months, and has no appearance of breaking out again. My general health has been better since then than it has for 5 or 6 years; and from hissuccessin curing others also, T think ke will be able to cure ail such diseases if taken in time.

From the Fayetteville Observer of the 9th inst. THE MORGAN ‘ON TRAGEDY. The following postscriptto a bosiness letter to the Editors, is from one of the first legal minds of the State, though in private life :— “[ feel very much mortified, as a citizen of N. Carolina, that any one should have attempt- ed a defence of the Jury which acquitted Mr. Avery, or of the doctrines of the Counsel who defend2d him, as they are stated in the ** Moun. tain Banner,” and republished in the “ Stand. ard.” These doctrines are at variance with every admitted principle of the law, as it has atall limes been administered in this State. very first sentence of the defence is an ad. mission that the law of the land was against the prisoner; and was a bold and unpardonable aitempt to withdraw the law from the sphere assigneu for ts administration, in all times past :—an allempt which will never be made where juries are expected to do their duty ; and is employed only where there is a hope that they may be found weak enough to betray the law, when the Judge is too intelligent, firm, and honest, to do so. The law-abiding character of the people of the State never had been acquired under such administration of its rules; and a few flagrant cases, like the homicide of Flemming, would utterly destroy what it has taken halfa century to build up. The whole argument of the counsel might be considered an apology for duelling, if duel Bot, as duel there was none, the argument is an apology for assassinating one who has inflicted on us a grievous injury, at any length of time thereafter. The appeal to the jury, that “in criminal cases they were the judge of both the law and facts,” has a recent parallel in a case of great interest to the Union, and especially to the Southern portion of it— the trial of the violators of the fugitive “slave law—where the counsel for the defence boldly assumed that doctrine, with a view that they might appeal from constitutional law to the known and unenlightened and inveterate preju- The public have seen low patriotically and nobly this attempt was met and repelled, and how this artifice of great violators of the law was disposed of, and they have thanked the eminent Judge tor his fearless discharge of his public duty. It is worthy of imitation everywhere, and by every conserva- tive man, whether judge or juror. trine is an appeal to a higher law than the law of the land ; and this appeal was made in words by the counsel of Avery, “ when God pardons, man dare not punish.” I can and do most sincere Mr. Avery, and can imagine the intensity of his lacerated feelings ; but every man feels, ‘hat, in his case, the Jaw has heen grossly violated ; and that the example of his impunity, through a jury and under the favor of such doctrines as were advanced for his defence, is a terrible blow on our institotions, which will stimulate the fierce passion of revenge to glut its appetite whenever and wherever—without regard to time or place—the first opportunity may occur. If such examples should be followed on great constitutional questions elsewhere, we have our The fact is, this Government cannot exist, if juries are taught that it is right to repel against the law as expounded by the and set wp any rule for themselves, caprice or feeling.

The Second week.of the Session of Congress*opens under circumstances, one of ‘which; we believe, tras’ never be- fore occarred in ‘thé history of Congress ; f gress (the House of Representatives) this day, the first of the week, is, in parlia- mentary phrase, a dies non, the House baving adjourned over from Saturday to Tutsday to give the Speaker an opporto- nity tomakea deliberate selection ofstand- ing committees from among the members of that body—a task madethe more dif_i- cult. for him by the unasually large num- ber of new members in the present House. | The Senate sits to-day, as usual. If the proceedings of the week that has passed have afforded no other indication of importance, it seems to have settled the question—as we think it should have been settled—in regard to the distinguished Hungarian chieftain who has just reach- ed our shores, that, whatever welcome may and will be extended to him by those who greet him on his Janding, and by in- dividuals here or elsewhere, there will be no formal reception of him as a political personage by the Government. A different court of the Government, cr éven of Congress, would have been an anomaly in legislation and without pre- -cedent in this Government. The case*of the reception of General Lafayette. the adopted Son of America, was no exccp- tion. He was invited by each House to a seat within its chamber; the committee appointed on the subject having publicly announced that, “ entertaining every wish to make the reception of Gen. Lafayette as complimentary as possible,” they yet found difficulties in the way of a joint re- ception, and considered it better that each House should adopt its own arrangement and its own “ form in the reception of that distinguished individual.” The General was accordingly presented to the Senate by its committee, with this ample intro- duct.on: “ We introduce Gen. Lafayette to the Senate of the United States ;"’ and the General, advancing the chair, was in- vited by the President of the Senate to take a seat prepared for him on his right. No address to him was made, The Sen- ate adjourned soon after his being seated and then the President and Members of that body paid their individ- ual respects to him. On the day follow- ing, the General was introduced to the House with similar ceremonies. On that occasion Mr. Speaker Clay, rising from the chair, made to him that beautiful and eloquent but brief Address which is to be found on the records of Congress; to which Lafayette made a reply that will ever be remembered by all who heard it, consisting of acknowledgments of the con- tinued good-will of the American People, of his delight in their progress, and his undiminished attachment to the institu- tions of the country, for whose freedom and independence he had fought nearly fifty years before. The House then ad- journed, and the members, led by the Speaker, paid their personal respects to him.—Nat. Intelligencer. ’ THE DAY OF THANKSGIVING. What friend of his country but feels his bosom glow with unwonted pride on read- ing the following spirit-stirring paragraph on the moral of the generality of the ob- servance of the late Thanksgiving ? FROM THE NEW YORK MIRROR OF FRIDAY LAST. This Thanksgiving has suggested one reflection worthy of more than a passing consideration, to.wit, that there are other than political bonds holding our great na- tion together.

The Ist of February is the last day for receiving ap- plications for space, and the Exhibition is expected to open on the 15th of April.— Mr.,Riddle, the American Commissioner, has returned to New York, where the ex- perience which he has obtained in the management of affairs connected with the Great Exhibition will, no doubt, be brought to bear in making the necessary arrangements for the proposed transat- lantic Exhibition.—[European Times. [The above is something in which the European Times is far ahead of the American Times. The good people of New York are entirely in the dark about this new Crystal Palace. Some of our folk have been pulling the wool over the eyes of the people on the other side of the water.

Among the most recent inventions, says an English paper, are gutta pereha pens, which are stated to be far.more durable than goose quills, and more available than the metallic materials. This appears to us to be a rational improvement. No pen can equal the goose quill except in retain- ing the writing point longer. Gutta per- cha pens will no doubt have the soft flexi- biljty of the goose quill. . e would call attention again to the desirable invention of a pencil that would altogether answer the purpose of pen and ink; this would be one of the grandest discoveries of the age because one of the most useful, and it would no doubt make the fortune of the inventor. We know a gentleman who pursued this subject for a long time, and on one occasion hit the mark, but he never was able to do so a second time. That it was done once is ao evidence that it can be done again. Inventors, here is a subject for you. Scientific American. GREAT RAT TRAP. Mr. J. H. Chester, of the city of Cincin- nati, has taken measures to secure A pa- tent for a very ingenious “rat trap.” It is so constructed that when Mr. Rat en- ters and reaches forth to snatch the bait, his weight acts upon a spring trap door, which suddenly opens and precipitates him into a dark chamber, in which he can see only one speck of light, for that he rushes into another chamber, and by doing so sets the spring of the trap door by touching a lever, and in this manner the trap is re-set and kept ses for any length of time by the animals themselves, so that without any trouble but to the rats, a whole box full may be caught.

Why this apathy should éxist in institutions which derive their very be- ing and support from the condition which the patriotic services of the man whose memory they are called upon to honor have produced, I am at a loss to under- stand.

The banking kouse of Corcor- an & Riggs has contributed two hundred dollars, the banks one hundred dollars each, and the philanthropée ‘and public- spirited elder partner of the former has subscribed annually 50 dolls. til! the Man- ument be completed. Would that others were influenced by the same feeling an high sense of patriotic duty, and thus, while they honor themselves, do honor to the memory of the illustrious Father of his Country. The town and city eorporations throughout the United States should feel n pride in uniting as corporate bodies with their fellow-citizensto rear this great Mon- ument of the Peeple’s gratitude and.in demonstrating that, in this country at teast, the doctrine is not true that corporations have no souls. The blocks of marble, granite, and other stone which they and the several States have sent to be depos- ited in the Monument, though very accep- table to the Board and honorable to the donors, go but little way in elevating the obelisk, and even a small contribution by each corporation in the United, States would, it is believed, be sufficient to cam- plete the work. Let it, then, not be. with- held from a great patriotic and national object like this, that they with their fellow cilizens may participate in the gratificar tion of having contributed to honor the memory of Washington by the erection of a structure that is intended to carry dowk his great name to the most distant ages. | 3 i it CORRESPONDENCE GROWING OUT OF THE CUBAN EXPIDITION. ° The National Intelligencer of Thursday last contains the whole of this ¢orrespundence, which is so deeply interesting, that we regret our inability to publish i. The “ Richmond Despatch” furnishes the following abstract of it, however, which we copy.— © The correspondence commences with the instructions given by Mr. Derrick, acting im the absence of Mr. Webster, as Secretary of State, to Commodore Foxshall A. Parker whose vessel was taken at that time lying at Norfolk, to repair to Havana, and inquire into the cir. cumetances connected with the execution of Crittenden’s party, whether or not they bad had a fair trial, 19 obtain a list of their names, and to come to an understanding with regard tc the steamer Falcon, which had begp Gred at: by a Spanish ship of war. ‘The reply:of Come modore Parker states tbat be bad had. ag inter- view with the Captain General, that thet fumes; tionary regarded the invaders as pirates, that, they had beeo tried in a summary way and, condemoed upon full proof of their guilt, that he did not feel himself authorized to furnish bim with the proceedings in their own case, but, that they had been sent to his government. He steadily rejected every attempt of the Com: © modore to obtain an interview with the prison- ers, though he had readily granted permission to Captain Platt todo the same thing. ‘The correspondence between Commodore P., atid the Captain General upon this subject is pab- lished, and confirms all that is stated in bistet- terto tbe department.

The Government of the Pnited States, always determined, in perfect good faith, to maintain its neytral relations, and per- form all its national obligations, condems as strongly as the British Government the lawless enterprises against which the or- ders in question appear to be direated, and the Government of the United States, equ- ally with the British Government, desires their prevention or soppression. Bat, just and desirable as that end may be, the President could not witness with- out concern any attempt to accomplish sach an object hy means which might eventually lead to encroachment on the rights of the people of the United States. The President is of opinion that, so far /as relates to this republic and its citizens. such an interference as would result from the execution of those orders, if admitted to be rightful in themselves, would nev- ertheless be practically injurious in its consequences, and do more harm than good. Their execution would be the exer- cise of a sort of police over the seas in our immediate vicinity, covered as they are | with our ships and our citizens, and it would involve, moreover, to some extent, the exercise of a jurisdiction to determine re at the corner of BI.

The undersigned, acting Secertary of State of the United States, has the honor to remind M. de Sartiges, Envoy Extraordinary and Min. | ister Plenipotentiary of the French Republic, that, in the inverview which he had with him | on the 8th instant, he stated that he might have ns have AZAIN | occasion to address him in writing upon the | prepared in the ports of the United | subject of the information which M. de Sartiges | [ avail myself of this opportunity to renew to | instance, at least. what are the expeditions de guuanced- in theig orders, and who are the guilty persons engaged in them, =~ a -|t ie plain, however different may have been the intention of the respective Governments, that the exeréise af suck a power and jurisdic. tion could hardly fail to Jead to abuses and col. litions perilous to the peace that now so happi- pily prevails. By such an interference, those Governmenis seem to assume am xttitude un- friendly to the PJnited States. ‘The President will not, however, allow himself to believe that this intervention has been intended as an ad. monilion or reproach to this Government. He has sigoally manifested his condemnation of all such lawless enterprises, and has adopted active measures for their prevention and sup. pression. It must aleo be known to the Gov. ernments of France and England, in common with all the world, that this Government, since it took its place among nations, has carefully preserved its good faith, and anxiously endea- vored to fulfil all its obligations, conventional and national, And this it has done from mo. tives far above any apprehension of danger to itself. From its beginning, under the present Constitution, it has seduously cultivated the policy of peace, of not intermeddling in the affairs of others, and of preventing, by highly penal enactments, and unlawful interference by its citizens to disturb the tranquility of coun. tries with which the United States were in am. ity. To this end, many such enactments have heen made—the first as early as the year 1794, and the last as late as 1838. ‘The last having expired by its own limitation, and ail the pre- ceding legislation on the subject having been comprehended in the act of Congress of 20th April, 1818, it is unnecessary to do more than to refer M. de Sartigesto its provisions, as marking | the signal anxiety and good faith of this Gov. | ernment to restrain persons within its jurisdic. tion from committing any acts inconsistent with the rights of others, or its own obligations.— These laws were intended to comprehend, and to protect from violation. all our relations with, and duties to, countries at peace with us, and to punish any violations of them by our citi- zens as crimes avainst the United States. In this manifestation of its desire to preserve just and peacefy! relations with all nations, it is believed that the United States have gone be. fore and further than any of the older Uovern. ments of Europe, Without recapitulating all the provisions of those laws by which the Uni- ted States have so carefully endeavoaed to pro- hibit every act that could be justly offensive to their neighbors, it is deemed enough for this occasion to say that they denounce all such en. terprises or expeditions as those against which the orders in question are directed. : The undersigned thinks it is of importance enough to call the attention of M. de Sartiges more directly to this law. A literal copy of it is accordingly herewith communicated. Besides the ordinary legal process, it author. izea the President to employ the military and naval forces of the country for the purpose of preventing such expeditions, and arresting for punishment those concerned in him. In the spirit of this law the President condemns such expedilions against the Island of Cuba as are denounced by the orders in question, and has omitted nothing for their detection and preven- tion. ‘To that end, he has given orders to ci- vil, naval, and military officers, from New York to New Orleans, and has enjoined upon them the greatest vigilance and energy. His course on the subject bas been in all things clear and | direct. It has been no secret, and the under. signed must presume that it has been fully un- derstood and known by M. de Sartiges. An appeal might confidently be made to the vigi- gant and enlightened Minister of Spain that his suggestions, or the prosecution of offenders en. gaged in them, have been promptly considered, and, if found reasonable, adopted by the Pre. sident. His course, it is believed, has been above all question or just cause of complaint. This Government is determined to execute its laws, and in the performance of his duty can neither ask nor receive foreign aid. If, not. withstanding all i's efforts, expeditions of small force hostile to Cuha have, in a single vessel or steamer, exciled by Cubans themselves, es. caped from our extensive shores, such an acci- | Gent can furnish no ground of imputation either upon the law or its administration. Every country furnishes instances enough of infrac. lions and evasions of its laws, which no power or vigilance can effectually guard against. It need not be feared that any expeditions of a lawless and hostile character can escape from | the United States of sufficient force to create ; any alarm for the safety of Cuba, or against | which Spain might not defend it with the slight. | est exertion of her power. ‘The President is | persuaded that none such can escape detection | and prevention, except by their minuteness and | insignificance. None certainly can escape which could require the combined aid of France and England to resist or suppress.

M. de Sartiges is apprized that a few days prior to the interview advested to the Charge. d’A flairatet,.ber Britanie Majesty had given to ment had isssed similar orders to its naval forces. The President had regarded this as a matter of grave importance, but ils gravity is greatly in- creased hy the concurrence and co-operation of France in the same measure. I cannot be doubted that these orders have heen occasioned by the tecent unlawful expe. dition of less than five hundred men, which. having evaded the vigilance of this Govern. ment and escaped from New Orleans, were landed by the steamer Pampero upon the Isl. and of Cuba, and were soon captured, and many of them executed, ‘Ihat such an acci- | deat should have incited the combined action of (wo great European Powers, for an object to which neither of them is a direct party, and in a manner that may seriqusty affect the peuple of the United States, cannot fail to awaken the earnest consideration of the President. He cannot perceive the necessity or proprie- ty pf such orders; while he entertains the strongest apprehensions that their execution by Prench and British cruisers will be attended with jnjurioug and dangerous consequences to the commeree and peace of the United States. They esainnot he carried into effect without a Visitation, examination, and canseqent deten- tion of our vessels, om our own shores, and in the great ebannels of our coasting jrade; and this must inves} British and Preach cruisers With the jurisdiction of determining, in the Arpt Island of Cuba. in the Gulf of Mexico, lying at no great distanc2 from the mouth of the river | sident, the undersigned has now the honor, by | Mississippi, and in the line of the greatest cur- rent of the commerce of the United States, | would become, in the hands of any powerful | European nation, an object of just jealousy and apprehension tothe people of the country. A | | due regard totheir own safety and interest must i this Department official notice that his Govetn.- therefore make it a matter of importance to them who shall possess and hold dominion over that island. The Government of France and those of other European nations were long ee since officiaily apprized by this Government that the United States could not see without | concern that island transferred by Spain to any | other European State. President Fillmore ful. | ly concurs in that sentiment, and is apprehen- | sive that the sort of protectorate introduced by | the orders in question might, in contingencies not difficult to be imagined, lead to results e- qually objectionable. If it should appear to M. de Sartiges that the | President is tno apprebensive on this eubject, | of disturbance. The people of the United | States have long cherished towards France the most amicable sentiments, and recent events, which made her a republic, have opened new sources of fraternal sympathy. Harmony and confidence would seem to he the natural rela- tons of the two great republics of the world ; relations demanded no less by their permanent interests than by circumstances and combina- tions in continental Europe which now seem to threaten so imminently the cause of free in- stitutions. The United States have nothing to fear from those coavulsions, nor are they prop- must be attributed to his great solicitude to | of armed invasion of a territory belonging to guard the friendly relations between the two | any friendly Power. He is happy to find that countries against all contingencies and causes | | cies of aggressions, and that Congress has fur. | and able bands, and of which the President ngandisis, ut they have at heart the cause of | al Oe a Bs Cok ‘all ae ae tetieve thai the he tw t ics-ut si Ae dp a dod y ne n a a , far t promotéand to hen t Ivis with ‘ne. oa ke the. much desires the cultivation of friendly feelings between the two countries, and regards with so much ¢ fh any cause that may tend to produce collision or alienation. He believes that this Cuban intervention is such a cause. The system of Government which prevails mast generally in Eurane is adverse to the prin- ciples upon whichthistepublic has beey found. ed. and the usdersigned is well aware that the difference between them is calculated to pro- duce distrust of, if not aversion to, the Govern. ment of the United States. ‘Sensible of this, the people of this country are naturally jealous of European interference in American affairs. And although they would not impute to France, now herself a republic, any participation i1 this distrustful and unfriendly feeling towards their Government, yet the undersigned must repeat that her intervention in tbis instance, if at. tempted to be executed in the only practicable mode for its effectual execution, could not fail °0 produce some irritation, if not worse conse- quences. ‘The French cruiser, sailing up and down the shores of the United States, to per. form their needless task of protecting Cuba, and their ungracious office of watching the peo. ple of this country, as if they were fruitful of piracies, would be regarded with some feel. ings of resentment, and the flag which they bore—~a flag that should always be welcome to the sight ot Americans—would be looked at as casting a shadow of unmer’ d and dishonor- ing suspicion upon they iad their Government. The undersigned will add, that all experi- ence seems tu prove that the rights, interests, and peace of the continents of Europe and America will be best preserved by the forbear. ance of each to interfere in the affairs of the other. ‘The Government of the United States has constantly acted on that principle, and has never intermeddled in European questions. The President has deemed it proper to the occasion that his views should be thus fully and frankly presenteu for the friendly consideration of M. de Sartiges and his Government, in or. der that all possible precaution may be used to avert any misunderstanding, and every cause or consequence that might disturb the peace, or alienate in the least the sentiments of confi. dence and friendship which now bind together the republics of the United States and France. The undersigned avails himself of this oc- casion to offer to M. de Sartiges the assurances of his very distinguished consideration. J. J. CRITTENDEN. a 5 ig > [TRANSLATION. | Frenca Leaation 1n THe Unitrep States, Washington October 27, 1851. The undersigned, Minister of France, bas received the note dated the 22d of October, which the Acting Secretary of State addressed him subsequently to the conversation he had the honor of holding with him on the 8th of the same month, in the course of which Mr. de Sartiges had, ina kind and friendly manner, intermed Mr. Crittenden, who appeared to be ignorant of the fact of the character of the in- structions issued by the Government of the Republic to the commanding officer of the French station at Havana, as soon as it was known in Paris that the first detachment of ad. venturers, commanded by Lopez, which an. nounced itself as the advance guard of a larger expedition, had succeeded in getting off to sea. Notwithstanding the epirit of kindness in which that communication was made, Mr. Crit. tenden reserved bimselfto point out, in writing, if upon reflection he should deem it expedient, the considerations which it might give rise to, both in the mind of the President and his own. Mr. de Sartiges thanks him tor having done so ; for while he sees, in the note addressed to him, renewed assurances of the strongest sympathy on the part of the American Governinent, and of the American people, for France and her Government, he also finds occasion to recall certain points of his conversation which it would appear were not at first presented by him with sufficient clearness. Mr. de Sartiges had endeavored to establish, in a distinct man. ner, the two following points: first, that the in. structions issued by the Government of the Republic were spontaneous and isolated ; se- condly, that those instructions were exclusive, for an exclusive case, and applicable only to the class, and not to the nationality of any pi- rate or adventurer that should attempt to land in arms on the shores of a friendly Power. He had added that the existing laws in regard to the right of search—laws about which the susceptibilities of the French Government are as forcibly roused as those of the Government of the United States—were neither directly nor indirectly affected by the order to repel violence by force ; since the instructions which have been issued to the commanding officer of the French station were only intended to apply to a case of piracy, the article of the maritime code in force concerning pirates. In again as. serling these (wo points categorically, as he now does, the undersigned thinks that he has removed all cause of prejudice on the part of the President, both as regards the importance of an act agreed upon in advance on the part of France and England, and the likelihood that the laws which govern the right of search will be in the least affected. He will add that the altitude assumed hy President Fillmore and by his Cabinet, under these lamentable circum. stances, has been so upright that the French Government, so far from intending to imply doubts, which did not exist, by the measures it spontaneously adopted, had, on the contrary, reason to believe that it would find in those same lattitudes the American squadron acting in the same spirit and pursuing a similar object. ‘This consideration must prevent any false con. struction tending to give to this at of the Re. publican Government the appearance of an ad. monition or of a reproach tacitly addressed ta the Government of the United States, and never contemplated by the French Government, Mr. de Sartiges begs to thank Mr. Critten. den for having sent bim the text of the law of 1818, actually in force, for preventing the crime . the opinion of the Representatives of the Amer- ican nation isin honest opposition to thie spe- nished the President with sufficient means to arrest them. These means, placed in strong openly declares that he will make an energetic use, if, unfortunately, the oecasion for resort. ing to them should again occur, become the much more precious for the peace of the ‘world, as America is closely ennnected with Europe, being only separated from the. lattes hy-a die. tance scarcely exceeding eight days. journey, by one of the most important pf general inter. et Some st i m a. P ests—the interest of commerce, ' The nations . of America’ among ‘other which binds the Gove States to the other Governments in several passage? of the wherein Me.’ of the world note of October 22d, a . ine appealing to the liberal ideas of France, intimates that the con- tinuance of those sentiments of confidence and fraternal sympathy which so happily unite the two countries, is calculated to make the cause of free institations in Europe prevail. The result of this community of interests, commer. cial, political, and moral, between Europe, and America—of this frequency and ‘rapidity of in- tercourse between them—ie, that it becomes as difficult to point oat the geegraphical degree where American policy should terminate, @ European policy begin, as ifto trace out the line where American commerce begins and European commerce. terminates—where may be said to begia or to. terminate the ideas which are in the ascendant in Europe and in America. The vadersigned has likewise the bonor of reminding the acting Secretary of State that the territories belonging to the various European Powers, either on the seas or on the American continent, are considered by the States to which they appertain as constituting part of the system of theie general policy. France has never admitted that her possessions in the Antilles might enjoy any other political rights than those which are universally recognised in Europe; it is the same with England; the same with Spain in segard to their American possessions. [it is in virtue of this principle of common law, which the Power has as yet re- pudiated, either on its own account or in be. half of its neighbors, that the Guvernment of the Republic has been able to show the inter. est it feels, as it has done, for the securities of an island recognised as Spanish territory by treaties actually in force, which security has been threatened in the midst of universal peace. These general considerations do not prevent the undersigned from acknowledging that the interest which a country feels for another is naturally increased by reason of proximity ; and his Government, which understands the complicated nature as well as the importance of the relations existing between the United States and Cuba, has seriously considered the declaration formerly made by the Government ofthe United States, and which has been re. newed on this occasion, * that that Govern. ment could not see with indifference the is. land of Cuba pass from the hands of Spain into those of another European State.” The French Government is likewise of opinion that, in case it should comport with the interests of Spain at some future day to part with Cuba, the pusses- sion of that island, or the protectorship of the same, ought not to fall upon any of the great maritime Powers of the world. The undersigned hopes that this frank decla ration, which he feels himself justified in mak. ing, in regard to the future destiny of Cuba. and which breathes the same spirit as that of the declaration which the United States Govern ment made on the subject, and the catagorical explanations he has given relative to the char. acter of the instructions exclusively sent to the French station at Havana, will put an end to all the uncertainty which the late events that befell on the oceasion of Lopez’s expedition might have given rise to in the mind of the Pre. sident, and that his Excellency will rest satis- fied as tothe great value which the Govern. ment of the Republic attaches to the mainten. ance and development of those frank and sympa. thetic ralations at present between the two coun. tries. The undersigned avails himself of this occa. sion to tender to the acting Secretary of State the assurances of his high consideration. SARTIGES. Mr. CRITTENDEN, Acting Secretary of State, &c.

We have some unmistakable signs of the state of the weather, at present. There are no shadows to be seen pursuing men or animals as they pass along ; and whilst the former move with a quick. jering step, the latter seem indisposed to move at all. The earth is as hard as a stone, and con- sequently the noise of vehicles is unusual loud. The doors of ice-houses are open; the doors of shops and dwellings are closed, and hot, quick-moviag curls of smoke are rising from all the chimneys in use. There are but very few ladies or children to be seen on the streets, and men without cloaks hide their hands in their breeches pockets. | Every body out-doors has a red nose and blue, goose-meat looking skin. Negroes look ashey. There is no voice of birds, or _ vocal music of any kind—And ‘gravy’ be- comes stiff on the merchant's plate before | he can eatit. And all this, and a great dea! more, is simply becagse the mercury in our thermometers has descended 19 de- grees below Freezing.

SHerwoop, the Junior editor of the Greensborough Patriot, who, it is remembered, has just entered into bands with one of the fair daughters of Guilford, and who, accompanied by his Lady, recently visited our Town, has perpetrated the following handsome thing in his paper of the 13:h instant. SauisBury is destined, we think to receive as much, perhaps more, benefit trom the works of Internal Improvement now in progress, than any other of the interior towns of the State.— It has fora number of years received a large mountain trade, which will be greatly increased as the works of improvement are completed.— And there 13 a promptness and energy in the business men of that place that must secure suc. cess. Among other recommendations, this town is not deficient in good Hotels. There are two, either of which is hard to beat in this country. The Rowan House, by Col. Robards, has recently been enlarged and improved, and every thing 1s done for the sojourner who stops at it thatean be done by an intelligent gentle- man and accomplished lady, to render bim comfortable. And the Mansion House is said by those who have tried it, to be not less invit. | ing to the weary traveller.—Greensboro’ Pat. JOHN A. GILMER. In connection with the formal nomina- tion of Mr. Gilmer for the office of Govern- or, by the recent meeting of the Whigs of ‘Orange, there are other unmistakeable ‘indications of a wish that he should be the | standard bearer of his party in the com- ing campaign. No one in the State would | bear our colors more worthily and gal- lantly; but it were well that we should ‘state, before any further action is taken by his friends, we happen to be aware that it would be out of the question for ‘him to accept the honor of a nomination. | and consequently it is annecessary to use bis name in this connexion. | Mr.G. is generous as the sunshine, and | ist be admitted, were comes as near belonging to his friends and | to every body who asks his aid, as any “man we ever saw. It would be hard for | bim to refuse any situation, either of hon- _or or peril, which they might be disposed ‘to assign him. Noone would feel more isensibly the responsibility of a race for | high office in North Cerolina,—not for the | sake of his political party alone, however | attached, as all know, to its glorious prin- ciples,—but for the honor and interest of his State. If there is a devoted North Carolinian, be isone, His affection for bis native State surpasseth the leve of those who, favored. of fortune,-be “ good old. Mother” a dap of ease and jux. ury: From early youth, with her humble but independent and hardy sons, he mixed the sweat of his brow with her soil; the scengs of his unaided) efforts to secure an education, of his increasing professional labors aad reputation, and the prospects of any bosiorable- ambition which he may cherish, all lie within her borders: He hasa Property ia the State, made by the united efforts of hands and head, which none but those who have likewise toiled can appreciate. These, it is true, are among the best and highest qualifications for office ; but they may be united in an individual whose personal circamstances | require that he should not attempt to test them before the public. Such, we con- ceive, is the case with Mr. Gilmer. In- | heriting littte but an unsollied name and. habits of honest industry; his sole depend. | ence, for the support and education of a. growing family, resting upon a prefession which has become profitable, but which once abandoned can never be resumed; | —it were too much to ask to hazard these personal prospects, for the service of his party and State. His home duties require the flower of bis years; they are already divided hy a devotion of much of bis time and talent to the interests of the State ; he cannot now do more for his friends and his party, and at the same time fulfil the obligations which he feels that be owes to his household. Thus much is due to Mr. Gilmer's char- acter and position before the public, in any quarter. We would sooner risk the cause of our party and the interest of our State in his hands than those of any oth. | er citizen, and deeply regret the necessi- | ty which requires him to keep his name | out of the list of those from whom a se- lection of standard bearer is to be made. And in saying this, we know that we only | echo the cordial sentiment of his neigh- | bors among whom he has lived from his. youth up.—Greens. Patriot.

In some countries of Europe, collections of Natural History become objects of national pride and glory. Every intelligent’ French- inan, wherever he goes, not only boasts of the extensive Libraries open to the public, the gal leries of Science and Art; but speaks with exultation of the Museumsof Natural History, and of the garden of piants that adorn hjs na- tion’s capital, as if they were an epitome of the past neglect And we | whole world. 4. Nor let us forget that to the successful prosecution of these studies, il is necessary to ibe bave at hand a collection of well selected volumes, where they who have an ardent thirst ‘for knowledge may go and satisty their long- ing desire. Where they may converse with the greatest minds of all time, and draw from the rich stores of their choicest thonghts. ‘To those who are travelling the read of learn. ing, meagre text books are not sufficient: we need the accumulated wisdoin of all ages and And not only is a good Library of the highest importance to the immediate re- sideats here, devoted to literary pursuils, but it is hoped and believed, that among the pastors entlemen of the 'sume who wish tu pursue original investiga tions, And with a salary that affords bare sub- | sistence, how can the laborers in the vineyard of the Lord store libraries with rare works ?

It would render this a lit. erary centre, like the Universities of Europe, with their large libraries, to which men resort from great distances. ‘To fill that place that we ought to fill: to accomplish the object intended by its founders: to give it a standing by the side of the best Col- leges in the land, will require great effort on . syst . anton, N.C. . . edaiathntoeee? 116 GfiAnéient York - Masons, take pleasure in informing. their breth- ren of the order, and the public generally, : 1 hey are about establishing at Germanton, an ution of a high grade of scholarship, for the education of males. ‘They, with many others, having long felt the want of a school of this character in this part of the Soath, have taken measures to build up an institation that will give fo our young men every advantage for obtaining a thorongh edacation in any part, or the whole of a Col- lege Course.

NORTH CAROLINA HISTORY. In perusing Wheeler's history of our State, we have been highly gratified tosee recorded the evidence of the reprobation with which oor forefathers viewed the use of intoxicating drinks. As far back as 1776, we find this high sense of moral rectitude prevailing among the people.— The tyrant Tryon was at that period, by appointment of the British Crown, Gov- ernor of North Carolina. “He raled the State with the temper of a despot and the rod of a tyrant;” but finding the people of North Carolina would not submit to his oppression, he endeavored to propitiate them at a general muster, by offering a | large barbecue and had several barrels of beer unheaded for them. But the peo- ple were not to be cajoled by such acts of | hypocrisy ; they rushed in a body to the tables, overthrew the barrels and spilled ‘the liquor, and threw the barbecue into the river untasted! A laudable example yrding to Which the ex- | Set to the people of the present day, as to $60,000,000, and this is | the course they should pursue towards the ted _demagogues, who under pretence of love | tor the “dear sovereigns,” pour the poison against this country had | down their throats to cheat them out of is clear that there would | the rights of freemen !

The wooden tene- ment on Fayetteville Street. occupied by W. A. Depkin, as a Boot and Shoe Store, was found to be in a blaze, bat not tosuch an extent that it might not have been promptly suppressed did we possess the most ordinary water facilities. In a very few moments, the destroying element ex- tended itself, in one direction, to the resi- dence of Wm. White, Esq.. and the City Post Office connected therewith, and in the opposite, to the Confectionary Store of Mr. Griffice and the Saddlery Estab- lishment of C. W. D. Hutchins, Esq., and to many small wooden buildings in the vicinity—all of which were entirely con- sumed. The flames now spread so rapid- ly as to render any efforts to check them entirely impotent. The large and splen- did brick structure on the corner of Fay- etteville and Hargett streets, (in which were Harding’s Clothing Rooms, Creech’s Merchandize Store, the N. C. Mutual In- ance Co., andthe Telegraph Offices, and the Odd Fellows’ Lodge,) the new and beautiful building of Mr. Fentress above the Post Office, the row of smal! shops on the north side of Hargett St. (with the ex- ception of Mr. Hollemams.) and several brick buildings occupied asStoreson Salis- bury street, were in turn consumed, be. fore the devastating flames spent them- selves. Their further progress up Fay- etteville street was arrested by the timely blowing-up of Mr. Roulhac’s store. It is impossible, at present, to form any correct estimate of the entire loss of prop- erty. Independently of the positive injury sustained by the fire, great damage was undoubedtly done by breakage,and the oth- er modes of destructing incident to such occasions. We subjoin, as nearly as we are able to compile one, a list of the suf.- ferers from the fire: Ricnarp Smitu.—The large brick build- ing, mentioned above—original cost $14.- 000—insurance $5,000; the frame build ings occupied by Mr. Crocker, and Mr. A. Adams, as Groceries—no insurance—loss about $1200; two brick tenements on Hargett St. loss estimated at something like $1000. Seldom has the eye witnessed so awful a spectacle as that large building in one concentrated blaze, with serpents of flame hissing from every window and a vast col- umn stretching upwards from the roof.— The goods, furniture and effects of the stores and office in it were saved, but are, we imagine, morewor less injured. Mrs. Stuart.—The Dwelling occupied by Mr. White, with the Post Office ; and the Shoe Store occupied by Mr. Depkin. Nearly everything in House and Office saved. No insurance, and luss between 3 and $4000. Mr. Depkin, we are sorry to learn, lost bis entire stock of goods. His loss is estima- mated at from 800 to $1000. These buildings were remarkable for | having heretofore almost miraculously es- caped several fires, owing, mainly, to the exertions of Mrs. Stuart, herself. Upon no one hasthis awful visitatian fallen more heavily than upon this estimable lady, and | there is no one in whose behalf the sym- pathies of the community are so strongly and justly aroused. C.

We need goud Engines, an efficient Fire Police, and, above all, water—water !— Had 2 been within reach in any quantity on Monday morning, the flames could have been subdued, before they had yain- ed even atrivial advantage. We feel as- sured that any action that our Mayor and Commissioners may take in the premises at their next meeting will be promptly re- sponded to by our citizens. We call up- on them to take some action—io do their duty. In the meantime, we hope that the spir- it of enterprize is not quenched, and that the sound of the hammer and trowel will shortly be heard from out the midst of the ashes and the ruins.—Ral. Regester. THE MORGANTON MURDER AND TRIAL. We give today a large portion of oar columns to the above case. We gave at first, what we believed to be a full and impartial account of that dreadful affair and have seen no reason since to change our opinion ; believing it still to be as cor- rect and more impartial and full than any that bas been given, and we should have said nothing more but from urgent solici- tations, which we feel bound at length, to yield to. Col. Avery, at first, from ac- quaintance. association and character, stoad tenfold higher in our estimation than Mr. Flemming, yet our sense of right, of law, of order, and of conscience, as an in- dividual and as a public Journalist, com- pelled us to look upon the deed he com. mitted with astonishment, anguish, and abhorence. We begin the statement of “ B.” (General Bynum) after bis detail of the suit, fight, etc.. being in substance what we published ourselves. We see nothing in his statement that is FALSE yet there were many things that were TRUE that he left unsaip, and he evidently has given every possible advantage to Col. A. that the case could admit in the bounds of truth. He gives in substance (over a column) his whole argument, to which we do not object, but it certainly would have given in this “ authentic account,” the ar- gument for the State. His declaration that “ when God pardons, man dare not punish,” is about on a par with that un- warrantable assumption of the mountain banner, that “it (the murder) was Susti- fied in the sight of Gop anp MAN.” And when “ A,” says: “ Admitting his reason was not dethroned, had he not a right to do it” we say most unqualifiedly no.— Neither he nor any other man, in our judg- ment, bas a right to do any such thing in any such way or place. As soon would we expect to be shot down in the house of God on the Sabbath day, as in a Court room under a Judges seat, and he on the bench. Ifsuch things are permitted in such places, we have no guarantee for life or protection this side heaven. It is plead up that “ public opinion required Col. A. to kill Flemming.” if it did. “ puBLIC oPIN- ION,” iS WRONG, @ BAD GUIDE and a MURDER: er, and ought forthwith to be set right and restored to reason, and if this be public opinion, we for one are against it, now henceforth and forever ; and if public o- pinion gives aman the right to set all) law at defiance and take the life of a fel- The reception of the Governor of Hun- gary by the Corporation and citizens of New York took place on Saturday morn- ing and is described as having presented one of the grandest and most imposing spectacles ever witnessed on this Conti- nent. The entire military force of the city with companies from the surrounding country paraded, and formed at an early | hour in the vicinty of Castle Garden to await the landing of the nation’s guest. The number of troops on parade was es- timated at over five thousand, whilst the presence of numerous civic associations added greatly to the imposing features of the scene. At 9 o'clock the steamer Vanderbilt left Castle Garden with the members of the Corporation and other invited guests on board for the purpose of bringing Kossuth up to New York. We copy principally from the Commercial, our account of what followed : The Vanderbilt started for Staten Isl- and at about half past nine o'clock and at that early hour a large number of persons were gathered at the Battery to view the progress of the affair. The Hungarian, English, and American flags were dis- played from the staffs of the steamer, and a cannon posted on her forward deck was discharged at intervals. The U.S. reve- nue cutter and some of the merchant ves- sels in the harbor were decorated with flags. The steamer arrived off the quar- antine deck about half past nine, and lay out in the stream while Alderman Mor- gan and Miller went on shore in a boat to apprize M. Kossuth the committee were now ready to escort him to the city. About quarter past ten M. Kossuth came on board, accompanied by Madame Kos. suth, Madame Pulsky, Cols. Asboth Per- renczy and other Hungarians. He was loudly cheered, and salutes were fired from the steamer on the shore. The steamboat Norwalk had gone down with a load of passengers to witness the em- barkation, and they cheered in union with those on the Vanderbilt route up the bay the steamboats passing rang their bells, and guns were fired from Governor's Isl- and and the Jersey shore. Going ap the East River as far as Greenport. the Van derbilt was hailed with cheers from crowds of persons congregated on the piers and shipping on each side. At the navy yard salutes were fired from on board the U. S. ship North Carolina and the fri- gate St. Lawrence, and the yards were | manned by the crews. Returning toward Castle Garden it was found to be too late to admit of the proposed excurson up the North river, and it determined to land.— The Battery was densely crowed with spectators and on the approach of the Vanderbilt, Gen. Morris's corps of artille- ries fired a salute, which was returned. Unfortunately the tide was so low that it was found impracticable to run the steamer up to the landing in the usual way those on board having rushed for- ward in spite of the police, and thus mak- ing that of the vessel draw more water than usual. A number of roeboats soon thronged around, and many persons avail- low being at will we long for a place in some “vast howling wilderness,” where “public opinion” bas no abiding place nor authority.

Kossath entered the building at | twenty minutes before one oclock, and was followed by Madame Kossuth, who was escorted by Lieut. Nelson of the steam frigate Mississippi. The cheering which | then ensued was vociferous and long con- tinued, and the rush toward the stand was so great that the table and chairs arrang- ed for the reporters were nearly everturn- ‘ed, and the good intentions of the commit- | tee of arrangements in their behalf were | frustrated. | Mr. Morgan, President of the Board of | Aldermen, introduced M.

M. Kossuth stood close to his Honor, and no doubt beard all that was said. Exertions were again made to bring | the house to order, and for a time succeed- led. M. Kossuth then spoke as follows ; “Mr. Mayor: Gentlemen,—If you are | desirous to hear my bumble thanks for the _ generous reception you have given me, ‘then I humbly beg you to be silent, or else ‘it will be utterly impossible for me to speak.

The principal houses and hotels on the line of the streets thro’ which it passed were elegantly decorated with flags and other emblems of welcome and gratulation. Numerous appropriate mottoes were also displayed, and at the eastern and western gates of the Park, tri- umphal arches were erected, thro’ which Kossuth and the whole procession passed. These arches are sufficiently wide, and in height about 20 feet. They are decorated with evergreens and red, green and white merino, adjusted so as to have the appear- ance of the stripes in the national flag of Hungary. The top of the structure was handsomely trimmed with rosettes and the armorial bearings of the city. Another arch of similar structure was erected at Castle Garden gate. It is adorned in the same style. In the evening, some of the hotels exhibited transparencies with ap- propriate designs and devices, and during both the day and evening the whole city wore the appearance of the greatest splen- dor, and enjoyment and hilarity was visi- ble every where. The number of persons who were drawn into the street by the display is estimated as high as two bun- dred thousand. The grand banquet to be given to Kos- suth by the Corporation of New York was postponed to Thursday last, when it was to take place at the Irving House. The Editorial Banquet was to follow in a day ortwo. The N. Y. Express says of it: The arrangements for it are complete, and ona grand scale. Messrs. Coleman & Steitson of the Astor House, intend to prepare the best dinner ever given in the United States. Eminent and eloquent speakers are selected to reply to the toasts on the occasion. Several of the most dis- tinguished person in the Union will be pre- sent. and many of the leading editors out of New York. At this banquet M. Kos- suth will probably make his great speech inthiscountry. Over 200 members of the editorial profession, combining the press of this city will listen to it. The N. Y. Tribune thus describes the person of the Hungarian Patriot : Kossuth is a good looking man, about five feet seven or eight inches in beight, and with great expression of featare. His eye is all intelligence, and his brow, tho’: not so broad as it bas been represented on many of his portraits, towers up to'an ex- treme height, and is somewhat expansive. He appears to be a slim man, rather than full in the chest. as often portrayed, and, as is the custom of bis country, he wears a beard and moustachios which cover the. lower part of his face. His bands are very small, and his cos- tume, when he arrived, was the simple unadorned dress of his couatry, the Han- gacian hat. with its feather and dangling tassels. Altogether he has a command. ing figure, and the first impression which strike an intelligent person on looking at, him, woold be one of respect, on account of the intelligence and philosophical ap- pearance of his whole exterior man. © * The Tribane also says— With the rising of the sun. on Friday. the Telegraphs sent to the uttermost parts of the Union the news of the. arrival of the Nation’s guest. New. Orleans ‘and other places sent instantaneous greetings: CONCLUSION OF KOSSUTH’S SPEEOR.

Now, gentlemen, you must be aware how boundless the gratitude mua be which | feel fer you. You have resiored me to life, by the blessings of the Almighty, gbill prove useful to my father land and to Humanity, it will be your merit—it will be your werk. May you and your glorious country be blessed fur it. Europe is on the very eve of such immense events that however fervent my gratitude may be to you I would nat have felt authorized to cross the Atfantic al this very time, only for the pur. pose ta express (0 you my warm thanks. I would have thanked you by facts contributing to the freedom of \be European Continent, and would have postponed my visit to your glorious shores till the decigive baila for liberty was foughi, if it were my destiny ta outlive the day. Then, what is the motive of my being here at this very time. ‘Tha mative, citizens, is, that your generous act of my liberation has raised that conviction throughout the world Uiat this generous act is but the manifestation. of your resolution to throw your weight into the bal. ance where the fate of the European Conti- nent is to be weighed Yon hive raised the conviction throughuut ibe worid that by my lib- eration you were willing to say “ Ye oppress- ed nations of old Eurupe’s Continent be of good cheer; the young giant of America stretches his poweriul arm over the waves rea. dy to give a brother’s hand to your future,” So is your act interpreted throughout the world. You in your proud security can scarcely ima- gine how beneficial the conviclion has already proved ta the suffering nations on the Europe. an Continent. You can scarcely imagine what self confidence you have added to the resolu. tion of the oppsessed. You have knit the tie of solidarity in the destinies of nations. Ican. not doubt that you know how I was received by the public Opinion in avesy country which [ touched since | am [ree, and wha! feelings my liberation has ebicited in those countries which it was my lat to touch. You know how |, 4 plain, poor penniless exile, have almost hecome acentre of hope and confidence to the most different nations, not united by the tie of com. mon sufferings. parition unparalleled in mankind's history 7— The source of it is that your generous act of my liberation is taken by the world for the re. velation of the fact that the United States are resolved nol to allow the despots of the world to trample upon oppressed humanity. It is hence that my liberations was cheered from Sweden down to Portugal asa rayathope. Itis hence that even those nations which most desire my presence in Europe now have unanimously told me, “ Hasten on, hasten on to the great, free, rich and powerful people of the United States, rE a ri and bring over his brotherly aid to the cause of | your country so intimately connected with Eu. ropean }iberty? And here | stand to plead the cause of the solidarity of human rights before the preat Republic of the United States. Hum- ble as I am, God the Almighty has selected me to represen! the cause of Humanity before you. My warrant to this capacity is written in the sympathy and confidence of all who (as | your elder brothers, the people of Brittania,) sympathise with the oppressed. My warrant to this capacity is writien in hopes and expec. tations you bave entitled the world to entertain by liberating me out of prison, and by restor- fag me to activity, But it has pleased the Al. mighty to make oui of my humble self yet an- ether opportunity fur a thing which may prove abappy turning point inthe destiny of the world. I bring you a brotherly greeting from the people of Great Brittain. I speak not in an official character imparted by diplomacy whose secrecy is the curse of the world, but [ am the harbinger of the public spirit of the peo. ple whieh has the right to impart a direction to its government, and which I witnessed pro. nosncing itself in the most decided manner— openly—rbat the people of England, united to you, with enlightened, brotherly love, as it is united in blood, conscious of its own, has for. ever abandoned every sentiment of irritation and rivalry, and desires the brotherly alliance of the United States, to secure :o every nation the sovreiga right of nations against the en. croaching arrogance of despots ; and leagued to you against the league of despots to stand | together with you godfather to the approaching | habtism of European liberty. Now, gentlemen, | T have stated my position; [ am a straight for. ward man ; [ am a republican; [| have avowed | it openly in the monarchial hut free England, | and [ am bappy to state that I have nothing lost | by this avowel there.

I am the man of the great principle of the sovreignty of every people io dispose of its own domestic concerns, and I must sulemoly deny to every foreigner, | as to every foreign power, the right to oppose the sovreign faculty. Secondly. | profess highly and openly my admiration for the glorious principles of union upon which stands the mighty pyramid of your and upon the basis of which you we grow? in the sbort period of seventy five yeara to a prodigious giant, the living wonder of the world. 1 bave the most warm wish that the star-sprangled hanner of the United States may be forever foating waited and gne~xthe proud ensign of graakind's divine origin—eand takigg my this principle of union, which I find lawfully existing—an established constitutional fact jt is not to a party, but the united people of the United States, that I confi. dently addreas my humble requests for aid and protection {q oppressed humanity. | will con- sciemticugly respect your laws, but within the limits ef your laws I will yee every honest ex. ertion to gain your operative sympathy. and your financial, political, and material aid for my country’s freedom and independence, and enireat the realigation of tbose hopes which your generosity has raised in my and my peo- plea’ breast, and also in the breast of Europe’s oppressed nations, and therefore— Thirdly, I beg leave frankly to state that my aim is to restore my Fatherland to the full en. joyment of that act of declaration of independ- ence which being the only rightful existing public law of my nation, can nothing have lost of its rightfulness by the violent invasions of foreign Russian arms, and which therefore is lylly entitled ta be recognized by the people of the United States, whose very existence is founded upon a quite similar Declaration of in- dependence. What can be opposed to this recognition, which is a logieal necessary consequence of the principle of your country’s political exis. tence? What can be opposed to it? The frown of Mr. Hulsernan—ihe anger of that sat- ellite of the Czar called Francis Joseph of Aus- (ria, and the immense danger with which some European, and American papers threaten you, and by which, of course you must feel extreme- ly terrified, that your Minister at Viena will have offered his passports, and that Mr. Hulse- man leaves Washington, should I be received and treated in my official capacity. Now asto your Minister at Viena, how can you combine the letting him stay there with | your opinion of the cause of Hungary, I really de.a’t know—but so much J know, that the pre- sent absolutistical atmosphere of Viena is not | very propitious to American principles. I know a man who could tel] some curious facts about | ihe mighty growth of the country. He ‘this matter, but as to Mr. Hulseman, really I don’t believe that he will be so ready to leave Washington. He has extremely weil digested the caustic pills which Mr. Webster has ad- ministered to him so gloriously, but, after all, I know enough of the sovreign people af the Uni- ted States that it would never admit, to what. ever respansible depository of the Executive power, should he even be willing to do so, which, to he sure, your high minded Govern. ment is nat willing to do, ta he regulated in its policy by the frowns of the Hulagmans and all the Francis Josephs in the world. So I confi- dently hope that the sovreign of this country, the peaple, will make this Declaration of Inde- pendence of Hungary soon formally recognized, and that it will care not a bit about it if Mr. Hulseman takes to-morrow his passports—bon voyage to him—but it is also my agreeable duty to profess that [ am entirely convinced that the government of the United States shares warm- ly the sentiments of the people in that respect. It has proved it by the ready and dignified man. | ner in executing the resolution of Congress in behalf of my liberation—it has proved it by calling on the Congress to consider how [ shall be treated and even this morning I was honored with an express order of the government, by an official salute from the batteries of the Uni- led States, in such a manner in whick, accord. ing to the military rules, only a public high of. ficial capacity can be greeted. Thus baving expounded my aim, I beg leave to state that I came not to your glorious shores to enjoy a happy rest. I came not with the intention to gather triumphs of personal distinc. tion, or to be the object of popular shows, but I came a humble petitioner in my country’s name. as its freely chosen, constitutional chief, hum. bly to entreat you to give aid. ‘To this aid I will devote every moment of my life, with the utmost assiduity, with the utmost restlessness, as every moment may bring a report of events | which may call me to hasten to my place in the battle field, where the great, and [ hope, the last battle will be fought between liberty and | despotism—a moment marked by the finger of | God to be so near, that every delay of your | generous aid may prove fatal to oppressed hu- | manity.—Thus, having stated my position to | be an humble petitioner in the name of my op- | pressed country—let me respectfully ask you, do you not regret to have bestowed on me the high honor of the glorious reception—unpar- | ralled in history—I say unparralled in history, | though I know that your fathers have welcomed | Laytayette in a similar manner, but Layfayette, | | had a mighty claim to your country’s gratitude | —he bad fought in your ranks for your freedom | | and independence, and what was still more, in | the hour of need, be was the link of our friendly | connection with France—a connection, the re. sult of which wereftwo French fleets of more |than 38 men.of.war, three thousand gallant /men who fought side by side with you against | Cornwallis before Yorktown, the precious gilt of twenty-four thousand muskets, a loan of nine- teen millions, and even the preliminary treaty | of your glorious peace negotiated at Paris by your immortal Franklin. [ hope the people of the United States, now itsell in the happy con. | dition to aid those who in need of aid, as itseif | was once in need, will kindly remember these facts, and you, citizens of New York, you will | yourselves become the Lafayettes of poor Hun. |gary. Lafayette had great claims to your love | and sympatby, but I—I have none. I come an humble petitioner with no other claims than those which the oppressed has to the sym- pathy of free men who have the power to help —with the claim which the unfortunate has to the happy—and the down-trodden to the pro- tection of Eternal Jnstice and of human right. In a word, | have no other claims than those which the oppressed principle of freedom has to the aid of victorious liberty. ‘Then | would humbly ask are the claims sufficient to ensure your generous protection, not to myself, but to the cause of my native land—not to myself, not to the cause of my native land only, but to the principle of freedom on Europe’s Conti- nent, of which the independence of Hungary is the indisputable keystone. If you cansider these claims not sufficient to your action and operative sympathy, then let me know at once, that the hopes have failed with which Europe’s oppressed nation have looked to your great, mighty and glorious republic. Let me know at once the failure of our hopes, that I may hasten back and tell Europe’s oppressed na- tion’s, “ Let us fight forsaken, single. banded, the battle of Leonidas. Letus trust to God, to our right, and to our good sword, there is no other help for the oppressed nations on earth.” } But if your generous republican hearts are an- imated by the high principle of freedom and of the solidarity in the destinies of Humanity—if you have the will, as to be sure you have the power, to support the sacrilegious league of des. patims-—then give nie sume day’ flection to become nite vice of some active friends 09 thé most practi- eal course I have to-adopl. Let me see if thefe be any preparatory steps taken in favor of that cause which | have the honor to represent, and then let me have a new opportunity to expound hefore you my humble ti in a practical Fs way. I confidently h Mayor, the Cor. poration and citizens of the Empire City will grant me the second opportunity. If this be your generous will, then let me.take this for a boon of happier days, and let me end with a sigh of thanksgiving to the Almighty God that it is your glorious country which Providence bas selected to the pillar of freedom as it is al. ready the syslum to oppressed humanity. I am told that IT will have the bigh honor to-day to review your patriotic militia. Ob God! how my heart throbs at the idea to see this gallant army enlisted on the side of freedom against despotism. ‘The world would he free, and you saviours of humanity. And whynot? These gallant men take part inthe mighty demonstra- tion of to-day. proving that | was right when I said that now-a-days even ‘the bayunets think.’ Citizens of New York, it is under your pro- tection that [ place this sacred cause of the freedom and independence of Hungary. Correspondence of the Charleston Courier. Wasarncton, Dee. 1]. The Kossuth question completely ab- sorbs the attention of the Senate. Much curiosity was manifested to hear Mr. Charles Sumner, the new senator from Massachusetts. His speech was brilliant and powerful, and entirely free from the peculiar yiews to which he owed his elec- tion, He was in favor of the resolution giv- ing Kossuth a hearty welcome, though he admitted that it would be an act of sig- nificance in the history of the country ; giving encouragement to all other lands, who are struggling for freedom, and es- tablishing a precedent that will graw with gave a powerful description of what might be hoped from the efforts of his master mind. He did not wish the country, how- ever, to reserve its policy of peace with all nations; and he would say to Kossuth be content with the sympathy you every where receive, and trust in the great fu- ture which is pregnant with freedom for his, and for all countries. Another marked speech was from Com- modore Stockton, who by the way, spoke with as much spirit as he would on the quarter deck, and with as much ease as if he were in a drawing room. He did not wish to adopt a policy of in- tervention with foreign affairs, and did not regard the resolution as contravening with such a policy. If foreign powers took offence at it, we have a Secretary of State who would answer them, and a Navy that would blow them out >f water. He did not believe, however, that we could or should always maintain the policy of neu- trality laid down by Washington. We had been, by our weakness, compelled to put ur with insult and aggression from all quarters. In the next struggle thatwould take place in Europe, we should undonbtedly become involved. Thatstrug- gle, he thought, was near at hand, and it was time for us to be up and doing. He did not agree with Kossuth that England would be induced to fight the battles of liberty, for she had never taken the lead in the cause of freedom, and if she got the ascendancy, there would be no freedom in the world. He was in favor of Mr. Berrin’s qualified resolution, which guards against the conclusion that Congress fa- vors intervention to all Kossuth’s associ- ates. Mr. Clemens, of Alabama, made a fierce attack on Kossuth and his doctrines, and his political objects. He hoped be would come here, but not at the invitation of Congress. The people. he said, might do what they pleased, but Congress ought not to encourage the political agitation. The question is unsettled, but the gen- eral opinion is that Congress will do noth- ing. Congress makes speeches now at Kos- suth, and he makes speeches at Congress, all which is rediculous. Kossuth declares that as Congress has thus repudiated him, he will not proceed further on his tour in this country, but return to Europe. He certainly will not come to Washington, unless the Executive of Congsess invite him to come. The President has not sent him any in- vitation, as has been reported, bat his no- tice of him in the message is an ample recognition of him in his official capacity as Governor of Hungary. THE GREAT STORM OF 1703. The most violent storm ever known to occur on the coasts of Europe was on the 27th of Nov., 1703—one hundred and for- ty-eight years ago. This fearful tempest on the shores of Great Britain was pre- ceded by a strong west wind, which set in about the middle of November, and ev- ery day and every hour increased in force, till on the 27th it raged so furiously that every heart was appalled, and horror and confusion seized upon all, whether onshore or at sea. To venture abroad was to rush into instant death; and stay within af- forded no other prospect than that of being buried under the ruins of a falling babita- tion. One hundred and twenty-three per- sons were killed by the falling of dwell- ings; amongst these were the Bishop of Bath and Wells ard his lady, by the fall of part of the Episcopal Palace of Wells, and Lady Penelope Nicholas, sister to the Bishop af London, at Horseleay, in Sus- sex. Those who perished in the waters, in| the floods of the Severn and the Thames, on the coast of Holland, and in ships blown away, and never heard of after- wards, are computed to have amounted to | eight thousand. All ranks and degrees were affected by this amazing tempest, for every family that bad any thing to lose lost something ; lands, houses, churches and trees, all were disturbed. Damage in th cit f London alone was computed bei ven in there mis: erably beating against one another. Five handred wherries, two hundred sbip- boats and one handred lighters and barges, were entirely lost, and a much greater number received very considerable dam- age. The Eddystone Lighthouse, near Ply- mouth, was precipitated into thesurroond- ing wxean, and with it Mr. Winstanley, the arc ‘itect, by whom it was contrived, and the people who were with him. Hav- ing been frequently told that the edifice was too slight to withstand the furry of the winds and waves, he was accustomed to reply that he only wished to be in it when a storm should happen. Unfortun- ately, his desire was gratified. Signals of distress were made, but, in so tremen- dous a sea, no vessel could live, or would venture to put off fortheir relief. Soaw- fal a visitation produced the most serious impressions on the Government, and a day of fasting and humiliation was ap- pointed by authority. OUR HOBBY. Every pony hasa hobby horse ta ride ; and editors are especially given to such equestrian exercises. It will be-plainly petczived thal we have a hobby horse, which we are apt to strad- dle every week; and our hobby is the Old Roan, familiarly known as Rip Van Winkle. We have an excuse for dwelling so much on one theme ; and we will tell our readers plain. ly what it is, ]. Jt is for their amusement. Variety is the spice of life; all men love novelty. Now to the scholar and well-read gentleman or lady it will be difficult to furnish intellectual food, fresh and pleasant. History, biographical, fic- tion, poetry, have all become stale ; they have got by heart, the history of the world, and read every kind of romance. Now there is a place out of the worldt—a place unknown to every body—a place where history, geography, peo- ple, interests, progress, etc., etc., if lairly given, will be as fresh to our readers, as anything we can possibly furnish. ‘That place is North Carolina; and we can conceive of nothing more pleasant and novel, to an intelligent mind, than descriptions of this Terra Incognita. A friend of ours getting a copy of The North Carolina Reader, devoured it with an intense relish ; when he had finished, he anxiously en- quired of us if it was ‘‘a pure fiction, or found. ed on fact.” 2. We are prompted to dwell on the inter. ests of North Carolina, from a desire to pro- mote the true welfare of our readers. The holiest, and sweetest pleasures of this world are connected with home; and those who do not love their homes, or have none, are the most wretched of mortals. Have the North Carolinians a home? Are they not raised up to despise the place of their nativity? Is it not to them a prison, dreary, comfortless, unendu- rable? What makes it so? Imagination, false notions, false education ; and we conceive it to be a sacred duty, a humane labor, to dissipate this unhappy delusion. 3. We have at heart the interest of our rea- ders ; and we wish to prevent them from throw. ing carelessly away their birthright. All you who are so anxious to sell oul, or give away your possessions, hold on a little while! Sub. scribe for the Weekly Post, or for any other North Carolina paper, and read it attentively for one year. Beneath the wasted surlace of your gullied fields are immense treasures of gold, silver, diamonds, rubies, and other pre- cious minerals ; and there is not a plantation or lot in the State which will not, someday, be a fortune to some body. Not many years ago an old German citizen of Cabarrus, found a pretty rock, with which he kept his door open ; and thinking it might be of value to him, he carried it, in one of his trips to Fayetteville, and finding that a foolish jeweller took a fancy to it, he * axed a pig brice,” and chuckled over three dollars, which the fancy gentleman paid for the yellow rock. Reader, this was a great lump of gold, & on that same Dutchman’s place was found a wedge of ore, worth at least, six thousand dollars. Now, good readers. fortunes are to be found on your places; and we are anxious that you should not take * three dol. ; lars” for your prizes, at.d permit strangers to re- alize the fortunes sleeping beneath your feet. Fourthly and lastly.—We have some affec. tion for North Carolina, and we love to speak of her, and write of her. We have a fancy for it, and we must be indulged in our fancies, or we will not work. Hurrah, for North Carolina !— Weekly Post. THE EDITORIAL CORPS OF NORTH CAROLINA. We believe we are tolerably well acquainted with most of the Editors in North Carolina ; and a more faithful and honest set of men it would be hard to find. Every Editor is uni- formly in favor of every public project which tends to the interest and honor of North Caro. lina; and while party strife has always run high in this State, there has never been, that we know of, an instance of editorial corruption. Can as much be said of every other part of the known world? It is our purpose to introduce those worthy gentiemen to our readers ; and our brethren of the quill may put on their best looks as we are now about to take their likenesses.— Weekly Post.

The day is at hand—Christ- next week ! # We give place, in this week’s paper, to part of one of the many speeches of Kossuth. The reader will be pleased with this exhibition suth is admitted to be on all bands, one of the greatest men living. Truly it is not astonish. ing that his fame struggled through all opposi- extended itself to the far western wilds of dis. tant America. Kossuth, it would seem, is de- signed, in the providence of God, for some great purpose ; but what that is, the future can alone reveal. the principles he is laboring to establish, it is hardly possible could be found in the world. {U7 A mob in New York, passing the Irving House, observed the English flag, which, with the American and Hungarian flags, was suspended from the balcony, sent in a deputation to the proprietor to inform him that its appearance was offen- sive, and that if he did not remove it im- mediately they would tear itdown. The landlord accordingly obeyed the command, and thereby, it is said, prevented a dis- graceful riot. We have seen this circumstance detail- ed in several papers, but in none of them any explanation. We suppose the firing into the Prometheus affords a key to it.— Mobs have the credit of acting promptly, but not wisely.—No longer ago than the 4th July, 1851, the flag of America flaunt- ed in the breeze in England, in commem. oration of our Independence. So far from offending Englishmen, it was repeatedly and heartily cheered. “ Washington of the 19th Century.”—This is the title which certain newspapers at the North bave conferred upon Kossuth. There is abundant reason to fear that the distinguished Hungarian is too deficient in certain qualities of mind and heart to justify the honor the appellation is intend- ed to confer. Moreover, if we shall not hereafter discover that there is mischief concealed behind all this * noise and con- fusion” about Kossuth, it will be a less matter—perhaps a yankee trick toturn a penny. The denizens of the great Com- mercial Metropolis live by excitements. Any thing calculated to drawn strangers there is money-making, and benefits prin- ters, merchants, shop-keepers, landlords, and other departments. The visit of Kos- suth will doubtless be turned to good ac- count in this way; and if it should result in nothing affecting the general interests of the Country, it may be set down to the credit of the virtue and intelligence of the American people. Cold Weather.—We see by the papers, that the cold spell experienced here last week, was general, North and South.— g | The lowest depression of the mercury re- corded at this place, was observed on Friday morning; at which time it stood at 4 degrees. We bave never known a better ice harvest, and all our citizens hav- ing ice houses, filledthem. Saturday, Sun- day and Monday last were temperate. On Tuesday morning the thermometer stood at 28, and it continued cold throughout the day. Yesterday morning at 22 deg., and the wind N. N. W.

CHRISTMAS. The following lines are so good in themselves, and | interest the little ones eo much, that they will bear re- | publishing every Christmas. They are from the pen of | Clement C. Moore, an American writer: | | | | A VISIT FROM ST. NICHOLAS. ‘Twas the night before Christmas, when all through | the house Not a creature was stirring, not even a mouse ; The stockings were hung by the chimney with care, | In hopes that St. Nicholas soon would be there ; The children were nestled all snug in their beds, While visions of sugarplums danced through their heads ; And mamma in ‘kerchief, and I in my cap, Had just settled our brains for a long winter's nap 5 | When out on the lawn there arose such a clatter, I sprang from the bed to see what was the matter: Away to the window I flew like a flash, Tore open the shutters and threw up the sash. The moon on the breast of the new-fallen snow, Gave the lustre of midday to objects below. When, what to my wondering eyes should appear, But a miniature sleigh and eight tiny reindeer, With a little old driver go lively and quick, I knew in a moment it must be St. Nick. More rapid than eegles his coursers they came, And he whistled, and shouted, und name 3; ‘© Now, Dasher ! now, Dancer! now, Prancer ! now, Vixen! On! Comet, on! Cupid, on! Donder and Blixen— To the top of the porch ! to the top of the wall! Now, dash away, dash away, dash away all He As leaves that before the wild hurricane fly, When they meet with an obstacle, mount to the sky | So up to the house-top the coursers they flew, With the sleigh full of toys—and St. Nicholas too. | And then in a twinkling I heard on the roof The prancing and pawing of each little hoof. As I drew in my head, and was turning around, Down the chimney St. Nicholas came with a bound. He was dress’d all in fur, from his head to his foot, ) | A bundle of toys he had flung on his back, And he look’d like a pedlar just opening his pack. His eyes, how they twinkled! his dimples, how merry! His cheeks were like ruses, his nose like a cherry ; His droll little mouth was drawn up like a bow, And his beard on his chin was as white as the snow, The stump of a pipe he held tight in his teeth, And the smoke it encircled his head like a wreath. He had a broad face and a little roand beily, That shook, when he laugh’d, like a bowl full of jelly. He was chubby and plump; a right jolly old elf ; And I laugh’d, when I saw him, in spite of myself. A wink of hie eye, and a twist of his head, Soon gave me to know I had nothing to dread. He spoke not a word, but went straight to his work, And fill’d all the stockings ; then turn’d with a jerk, And, laying his finger aside of his nose, And giving a nod, up the chimney he rose. ; He sprang to his sleigh, to his team gave a whistle, And away they all flew like the down of a thistle ; But I heard him exclaim, ere he drove out of sight, ‘« Happy Christmas to all, and to all a good-night !” And his clothes were all tarnish’d with ashes & soot ; | \ | | \ MWARRLILD.

Fviewe the war embattled plaia, Once strewed with England’s fallea slain ; Where tyranny onee spread her train, To blast the rights of man. Imagination lends her aid: 1 view the hosts again array’d ; « Bach warrior draws his battle blade,” And waits the dread command. Extended now from swamp to strand, In dread array, sublime and grand, To battle moves the hostile band, With all the pomp of war. See now the pride of Britain’s boast, Move on to charge yon little host ; Who wait impatient at their post, To meet the coming storm. Oh who can know the dread suspense, ‘The deep dispair, the thoughts intense, In the minds of those marching hence, Froa: being—to be no mure. Hazk—'tis the guns—that deafening roar; Now each o@feach their volleys pour; White band fall to rise No more, And strew the bloodstain’d earth, Now peal on peal incessant flash, Volleymg thunders mingling crash ; From rank to rank fierce warriors dash, And urge their colums on. Near and more near the lines assail, More fiercely pours the leaden bail, Aad loader shrieks the dying wail, Of those that sink in death, Like wrathful clouds with thunders rife, They buri their bolts in mortal strife, Which pierce the crimson stream of life, And pours it on the plain. Advancing still they charge—they wheel, They thrust, they stab, they shout, they reel; Now hand to hand, and steel to steel, Contend for victory. Charge Britain, charge, thy fame’s at stake j Charge freeman, charge, for freedem’s sake, The impress’d seaman’s chains to break, And set the prisoner free. “ Steel clangs to steel”—they fall, they die, The pallid chcek—the glazing eye Show death has broke the tender tie, That binds man to his race. Oh! Englafld’s mothers long shall weep, Sisters and sires their vigils keep, For relatives here doum‘d to sleep, Till the last trump shal! sound. The strife hath ceas’d—my vision fled, I view the field where sleep the dead, Light lie the turf upon each head, That lies inhum‘d below. A MODEL LOVE LETTER.

Mr. Tewkesbury, of Nottingham, Eng., in a Jetier to the Maux Sun, says :—T forward an easy, clean, and certain method of eradicating these insects from dwelling houses. A few years ago my house was inlested with cock. | roaches (or clocks as they are called here,) | and | was recommended to try cucumber peel. | ings asaremedy. 1 accordingly, before bed. time, strewed the floor of those parts of the house most infested with the vermin, with the green peel, cut not very thin from the cucum. ber, and sat up half an hour later than usual to watch the effect. Before the expiration of that time the floor where the peel lay was completely covered with cockroaches, so much | eo that the vegetable could not be seen, so vo- raciously were they engaged in sucking the, poisonous moisture from it. | adopted the same plan the following night, but my visitors were not near so BuMerous—lI should think not more than a fourth of the previous night. On the third night I did not discover one ; bul anxious | to ascertain whether the house was quite clear of them, I examined the pee! after | had laid it dowe about half an hour, and perceived that it was covered with myriads of minute cock. togebes about the size of a flea. I therefore allowed the pee! to lie till morning, and trom that moment [ have not seen a cockroach in the house. [i isa very old building; and I amCerlain thal the ahove remedy only requires to be persevered in fur three or four nights, to tely eradicate the pest. Of course it should be fresh cucnmber peel every night.” [A fae better and more certain remedy for cockroaches is a powder made by Mr. Lyons, of this city (New York). From experience, we say this ; as it has to our knowledge proved itself to be what ii is named, the * Magnetic Cockroach Exterminator.” RECENT FOREIGN IVENTIONS. Ornamenting Fabrics.—Mr. Puckeridge, of London, recently patiented the following singu. jer method of ornameniing fabrics suitable fur the ornamentation of furniture, ladies’ dresses, and otber articles of fabrics. The improve. medi tonsists in covering transparent or semi. tranéparent materials, such as prepared gut, or skios of animals, weasons, bladders, gold- beate?’s skin, or other memnbranous materials, either alone of in combinativn with other light fabrics, such as silks, sailing. and fine linnens. These are to be ornamented with gold leaf, sil- ver jeat, or any other metulic leal, or with gold, silvet or bronze powders. Having | Fa my dear Miss Thus fare permit me to enteret a | areable Reception of my attention and beleve me that | yaan Consent will make me The happeest of my Sex | metallic leaf or powder Js prepared or coated with gold size, japanners’ gold size, burnish gold size, or other similar adhesive matter, or composition, after which the gold, silver, or metallic leaf, or the gold, silver, or metallic powders, are applied to the prepared surface, and will be found to adhere firmly thereto. The gut, skins, bladders, or other thin trans- mented with gold, silver, or other metaltic leaf, or powder, may. be used alone, and applied for the purpose of ornamentation ; and in this state, also, may be spun or twisted into music strings ; but if required, the membranous material (ei- ther before or alter it is provided with metallic covering,) may be attached by means of size or other adhesive matter or composition, to light woven fabrics. such as silks, satin, fine jinnens, or similar fine fabrics. In this state it will be found peculiarly applicable for orna- menting curtains and various kinds of furniture or other articles. The membranous material thus provided with a metallic surtace, when altached to wo. yen fabrice will be found to have on both sides all the appearance and lustre of the metallic substance with which it is coated, and will pos- that the material may be eimployed for orna- mental purposes, such as ladies’ dresses, hang- ings, and other like purposes. Feathers for Ornamenting Dresses. —Mr. J. P. Booth, of Cork, Ireland. recently took out a patent for employing portions of the feath. ers of birds for the purpose of decorating or or namenting the surfaces of woven fabrics. The feathers of the turkey are what the patentee prefers to all others for the purpose ; aod the portions of them which he employs, are the downy substances from near the root or quill of the feather; these are stripped off with a portion of the cutticle or horney portion, and when a sufficient quantity of these are collected, they are arranged upon the face of the fabric to be ornamented, and there secured by cement. ‘The feathers may be arranged according to their colors, so as to produce a pattern or de- sign. We are indebted to our invaluable exchan- ges, * Newton’s Repertory of Arts,’ * Patent Journal,” “ Mechanies Magazine,” and other London Journals,” and to the * Genie Indus. triel,” &c., of Paris, for the above, in substance. HARVESTING TURNIPS. Pulling turnips and cutting off the tops by hand and knife, which is almost the universal practice among American far- mers, is about as far behind the age of improved husbandry as digging up the land with a hoe, instead of plowing. In England, turnips are almost invariably planted in drills; at pulling times tbe la- borer passes along the row with a sharp light hoe, with which he dexterously cuts offthe tops, throwing them by the same motion into the hollow between two rows. Another person follows with another hoe, which he strikes below the balb, so as to cut off the top root, throwing the turnips of two rows together ready for the gath- erer to basket and carry to the pile or cart for storage. Sometimes one hand performs both operations of topping and digging, but two work to the best advan- | tage, | | \ New Revelation among the Mormons.—Yhe disciples of Joe Smith enjoy a remarkable ad- vantage in the constant accession to the spirit of their faith, through renewed celestial com. munications ; two new revelations having oc- | curred within the past month. On Friday night, | May 30th, it appears that the chamber of Orson Hyde, the editor of the Frontier Guardsmen, published at Kanesville, Iowa, received a sud. den illumination, and a manuscript book was presented to him which proved to be a transla. | tion from that portion of the golden plate which Joe Smith was furbidden to disturb. ‘This book is a warning against false teachers, pseudo prophets and wolves in sheep’s clothing. It tells of counterfeit revelations and prophetical impostors and is particularly explicit in direct- ing the saints not to let go of the “iron rod,”’ meaning thereby the true priesthood. Another revelation has been made to Bishop Gladden of Ohio, containing much of what had been com. municated to the editor of the Guardian, togeth- er with several addenda, proclaiming the duty of reverencing the teaching of bishops above all other prophets, seers, bigh priests and apos- tles, and announcing his duty to form an alli Elder Hyde de. | nounees the bishop for “ false revelations ” and ‘unfounded pretensions,” and adds.some pun. | gent observations upon the conduct of certain | new converts, closing with the following exhor- | tation ; 5 ) ‘ance with Queen Victoria. To the saints who are established here, and | who wish to do right; free themselves from all ' such trash that floats on the swelling current of emigration, and lodges on the banks, by trees and in eddies.—Kick and roll it off again, and let it pass away, lest it produce an unhealthy | state of things among you.” Old Whitey, the well known charger of the Jate Gen. Taylor, was in the line of procession to receive Kossuth, in New York, on Saturday. The Tribune says: “ He was harnessed to a light wacon, and decorated with rosetts and arich vel- vet cloth edged with silver bearing the initials U. E. J.. those of the present own. er. The old charger looked well, and seemed nearly as spirited as when he bore the bero of Buena Vista through the dan- gers of the battle field.” Finormous Outlay for Advertising.— Townsend, the Sarsaparilla man, says that his books exhibit an oatlay for advertising in the course of five years in the various papers of the United States—of $800,000. He says for six months he cut off all his advertisements. to see if bis medicines would not go off on their merits. just as well as by advertising. He lost $300.000 by it; sales dwindled right down to noth- off, went on advertising heavily, and got the start of him.—Greut West.

ERMANTON LODGE No. 116 0f Aneient York Masons, take pleasure in informing their breth- ren of the order, and the public generally, that they are about establishing at Germanton, an institation of a high grade of scholarship, for the education of males. They, with many others, having long felt the want of a school of this character in this part of the Soath, have taken measures to build up an institation that will give to our young men every advantage for obtaining a thorough education in any part, or the whole of a Col- lege Course. Students can be prepared for any of the College classes. Mr. George M. Everhart has been elected by the Board of Trustees as the Principal. Mr. Everhart has had the experience of nearly seven years as Teacher— four years as ihe Principal of an Academy, and three as an instructor in one of the most popular colleges in the South. Marked sucoess has attended his efforts in each of these departments. Moreover, if scholarship and untiring energy and a devotion to his profession, can recommend him to our people, he surely will re- ceive their entire confidence. Several competent as- sistants will aid him, and such other means will be em- ployed that shall raise the School at once to a position of superior usefulness. The Edifice is a very large and elegant brick build- ing, Germanton is remarkable for its healthy location, and the morality of its citizens. Board can be obtain ed in cur best families at the low price of $6 per month. The scholastic year is divided into two unequal ses- sions, the first commencing on Thursday, the Ist of January, 1852, contiues 15 weeks. The second com- mencing on the third Monday in June, continues 27 weeks. The prices of tuition are as follows: Ancient Languages, $25 per year.
