Chrisimas.—This day was celebrated gas divine service in the Methodist Church in thomorning- There was general congratulation potafew. In the evening a very large and gay company of ladies and genilemen assembled at the Rowan House, and spent, pleasantly, several hours in dancing and feasting, laugh. ing and talking—just as auch companies are ~ goat to do when the speaking violia dis- s mirth. In honor of this occasion, and preceding it, we should not fail to notice, Dr. H. J. Harris, seat off a fire palloon. It took its course eastward and beavenward—but we learn it came back to the earth some three miles dis- tant from the place of starting. (¢r lt appears from the following expres- sions of M. Kossuth, in reply to a deputation hocalled on him with empty compliments, god especting @ speech, that he is getting tired of the show the Gothamites are making of him. The fact is, the poor fellow has well nigh broke himself down by making speeches to. every body who called upomw him. © He: did more hard work of this sort, in @ short.time, than any man we ever heard of, and did it well. But his ex. traordinary labors have pfostrated him to a considerable extent;-and finding the New Yorkers were slow in the bestowal of the right kind of sympathy, he talks to them like a fa. ther! New York has raised only about eighi thousand dollars for the cause of Hungary! a small shot for such a thundering noise. “] beg leave to express my bumble requests all those generous, kind friendy, who sympa. . thize with the cause of Hungary, no longer to tax my time, but to let me have time to work ; because, since my first coming to the ‘Upited Staies, | have bad scarcely @ single moment in which todo anything.

BY FIRE! morning in our city will long be remem- bered with a distinctness of recollection far beyond ordinary conflagrations. The first in point of time broke out a litile past one o'clock ia the Franklin Hotel, at the northeast corner of D and Eighth streets, kept by Mr. Thomas Baker. bedroom of a lod and had-got sogreata hold of the build. to bear upom jit, that by no efforts could the house’ be saved, though the chief part of the*furniture was. happily rescoed from the devouring element. The building was owned by Mr. Patrick Kavanagh, and was insured. The second fire, in point of time, bat by far the most considerable in magnitude and importance, took place at about a quarter to eight o'clock, in the spacious and beautiful main Library Room of the Capitol, whereby about thirty-five thou- sand volumes of most choice and valua. ble books were destroyed, together with preciousfecollections ot manuscrips, paint- ings, maps, charts, medals, statuary, and articles of vertu, the property of the Gov- ernment and People of the United States. The origin of the fire is enveloped in mys- tery which we hardly think will ever be cleared up. From the best information we have been able to obtain, it appears that smoke or flame, or both, were observed through the windows from without, Im- mediately upon this Mr. Jno. W. Jones, one of the guards in charge of the Capi- tol. with another person, a Mr. Hollohon, forced their way into the Library by the principal entrance, and found that the large table at the north end of the room was on fire, together with a portion of the sbelving and books in the alcoves on the right or northeast, and between the table and the door at the north end of the room leading to the law library. At this time Mr. Jones says that half a dozen buckets of water would have sof- ficed to extinguish the fire. His compan- ion and himself, perceiving this, immedi- ately ran below for the purpose of bring- ing the requisite fluid, but the draught which their entrance had necessarily pro. duced lent vigor to the flames that, by the time they returned, the whole room was irrecoverably wen to the power of the destroying element. The flames seem- ed to glide over and above the gallery as if its material were of the most combus. tible character; for scarcely any appre- ciable time was occupied in wrapping the whole vaulted hal! in mingled volumes of smoke and fire. At the earliest possible moment the fire the Columbia, as we think, being the first; but its hose being in a frozen condition, from its use a few hours betore at the fire on Eighth street, with the thermometer at zero, had to be taken to the new gas factory, on the canal, to be thawed, Five minutes afterwards the Anacostia engine arrived, and, its apparatus being in good working condition, it was the first to act with effect. In quick succession seven engines were on the ground, gallantly vie- ing with each other to render service. Very soon a body of United States Ma- rines from the Navy Yard were ordered up to assist in bearing water, keeping or- der, and protecting property; and ¥ery useful indeed did they prove throaghout the day. A large engine was drawn up the steps of the Bast Portico, and another run into the Rotyndo, and from thence supplied a jet of water of great power and efficiency. This was done, we be- lieve, without any injury being sustained by the great bistorical paintings around the Rotundo walls. Notwithstanding the fortunate circum- stance that the walls of the Library rose so high as, in a measure, to separate that department of the Capitol edifice from the rest, at least to the extent of giving ita distinct roof, it was found that fire h ‘Commuitiéated ‘to the main roof, whi was, however, stopped by the gallant members of the Anacostia Campenni bo cut away witb their axes,so much of the roof as seemed to. be in harm’s way. la like “manner, a jon of the stairway : | leading to the top of the dome having taken fire, it was extinguished by the same devoted band. © . The heat'from the fire at the distance of the pillars in front of the Library (for the fire itselfnever reached them) was so great.as to scale them off in places a quar. ter of an inch thick, taking not merely the ‘Painting bot ihe stohe under U. | nd the “freedom of speech of the and a sign ic freedom, amd that bis herculean Wabors in Oppressién, not ia Hungary alone, but in the The Fires which o¢éutred yesterday ~ We have stated above that aboot thir- ty-five thousand volumes of were } destroyed ; this is estimated from the sup- posed number saved, which istwenty thou- sand, the orieipal contents of the Library being about filty-five thousand volumes in all. “Thecontents only of the principal hall were consamed, the north room and Law Library not having been visited by the fire, owing to the thickness of the in- tervening walls. Besides the books, a number of superi- OF paintings, hanging around the Library walls and between the alcoves, were in- cluded in the destruction. Of these we can call to mind Stuart’s paintings of the first five Presidents; an original portrait of Columbus , a second portrait of Colum- bus; an original portrait of Peyton Ran. dolph;.a portrait of Bolivar; a portrait of Baron Steuben by Pyne, an English art- f 4 . ae } eR => + Po sags .

We have only heard of three books sav- ed from the Principal Library, namely, the Librarian's Register, an account book, and an odd volame of Lord Kingsbury’s magnificent work on the Antiquities of Mexico, We woust say that we consider the sys- tem adopted by the Government for the Protection of the public bpildings and property as essentially defective, as the various conflagrations which have taken place—first of the War Office building, next of this very Library part of the Cap- itol in 1826. then of the Treasury building, next of the General Post Office edifice, and now the Congressional Library again— must prove. We must express our unqualified admi- ration for, and warm thanks to the fire- men and other citizens, who, in such a freezing night, turned out to save from de- struction, if possible, the property of their fellaw-citizens, and with an energy and perseverance beyond all praise, continued their exertions till noon the next day, when the fire at the Capitol was at length sub- dued, and they permitted to seek rest at home—indeed, the engines were, as late as 3 P. M. yesterday, still throwing wa- ter into the burnt ball and upon its im mense mass of charred and smoking steam- ing rubbish, to ensure the entire extinc- tion of the fire. A strong guard of Marines from the Na- vy Yard, with a body of the City Police, were posted last evening around the Cap- itol, to be ready in case any new emer- gency should arise. Congress, at its re- sumption of business on Friday, will no douht take measures by which a search- ing investigation into all the circumstan- ces of this sad conflagration will be bad. ARRIVAL OF THE EUROPA. SEVEN DAYS LATER FROM EUROPE. Crisis in France—Dissolution of the As- sembly— Paris in’ a state of Siege—A change in the Ministry. Hautrax, Dec. 20. The naval mail steamer Europa, Capt. Lott, whicb sailed from, Liverpool on the 6th instant for New York. with seven days later intelligence from Europe, put in here this morning, short of coal. She brings most important news from France, as well as other parts of Europe. Cotton bas declined an 4d and Bread. stuffs generally bave Improved. The Europa experienced a constant suc- cession of heavy gales and lost one man overboard during the passage. FRANCE. The news from Paris is of the most im- portant and exciting character, and is re- garded as the commencement of a new state of governmental affairs for France. A eoup d’etat was made by President Napoleon onthe 2d instant, of the most bold and important character. He seized the reins of the Government and dissolved the Assembly, declaring Paris in a state of seige, and appealing directly to the peo- ple to sustaip him in his movement to ar- rest the monarchical tendencies of the As- sembly. The President’s arrangements had been made with consummate skill and secrecy during the night of the Ist ivstant. The whole thing was done before the public had the least intimation of the event. A new Ministry was formed, and a proclamation issued restoring universal soffrage and professing a new system of Government, with the instant election by the le and army of a President, to hold office for ten years, supported by a Council of State and two houses of Le- gislature. 7 At Gayligbt.on Toesday morning the | President’s proclamation was found post- ed throughout the city, in whieb be order- ed the immediate dispersion of the ‘As- sembly, with bis plan for a new form of government. The-.election for President is to take place during the present month, and the President promises to bow to the t t ting on the 20th instant to be done secretly, instead of in public. they were not believed. insurgents had been put down, but not without a severe struggle. vinces were generally favorable to the Presi- dent. for Paris on ‘Thursday. of the telegraph Jines, and have stopped the transmission of all despatches, lemt but firm. were thrown up. of 5,000 troops were passing along the Boule. vards, several shots were fired trom the neigh. boring houses. continued with spirit for about half an hour. | Further down the Buulevards cannon and mus- kets were freely used till 4 o’clock, when the fighting in that quarter ceased, but continued in other sections. and liitle is known beyond the fact that a san- guinary conflict had taken place. sons not engaged on either side bad been killed or wounded, ald and Chronic!e states, that Gen.

Three hundred of the members of the Assembly. it was said, had given in their adbesion to the President, and telegraphic despatches from the departments state that the President’s demonstration bad been hailed with the utmost enthusiasm. Subsequently these reports were contra- dicted, and several barricades erected in different quarters of Paris, but they were speedily broken down by the troops. At one of these barricades, two mem- bers of the Assembly, o¢copying promi- nent places, were killed in the conflict. On Tuesday a section of the Assembly continued to meet, and decreed the despo- sition of the President and his impeach- ment for bigh treason. The meeting was dispersed by the troops, and the decree ridiculed on all sides. Troops bad been stationed in the houses of M. Dupin, and other ex-officers of the Assembly who bad been exempted from arrest. The full rigor of the martial law had been proclaimed against all concerned in the barricades, and a large number had been shot. Up to Thursday night the success of the President seemed certain, and advices received in London on B giey do not vary the aspect of affairs, though new elements of discord were constantly arising.

Accounts from Genoa state that the French refugees met to deliberate, and, afier a long and stormy discussion, decided to abstain from entering France. Monday’s Moniteur contains the President’s proclamations in which he says : “Frenchmen! Disturbances are apprehen- ded ; but, whatever may be the decision of the people, society is saved. The first part of my task has been accomplished. My appeal to the | nation for the purpose of terminating the strug: gles of parties I knew would not cause a seri- ous risk to pubiic tranquillity. Why should the people have risen against me? If I do not any longer possess your confidence, if your ideas are changed, there is no oceasion to make precious blood flow. It will be sufficient to place an adverse vote in the election urn, and I shall always respect the decision of the peo. ple—I shall always respect the decision of the nation; but until the nation has spoken, I shall not hesitate, at any sacrifice, to baffle the at- tempts of factions.’’. Fresh arrests continue to be daily made among the Republican leaders. Changarnier and other Generals were confined at Havre, to be tried by a court-martial, on the charge of altempting to seduce the soldiers of the army from their duty. Napoleon will undoubtedly have an immense majority at the election for President, which was to take place on the 20th instant. OUR PLANK ROAD. The contractors Messrs.

A boty’ 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 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 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, 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.

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 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 kill me: the smell of it was quite offensive. Whilst in this extremity, I applied to Mr. A. F.

Eprror :—I have been reading and thinking about our condition as farmers and cit. izens. Our country was once fresh, our lands rich, and they brought forth abundance of the luxuries and comforis of life. Labor received a good reward, and our hearis were made to rejoiee, from the facts that our lands were pro- ductive. But, alas! those days of prosperity are gone ; the fields that once brought large and remunerating crops, a great many of them, are reduced to sedge grass, all sacrificed with gulleys. I speak to our shame, for it is our fault and that mao is ungrateful to posterity who leaves his plantation worse than he found it.— Every man should impfove bis lands every year. 1am convinced that this can be done, and in order to which,I will give you a plan, the result of much study and some éxperience. First—Ii our Jands are hilly, we must ditch them properly. Next—a rotation of crops and rest we should have our farm divided into four fields; plant one in corn, one in cotton; sow one in wheat and oats; let the other field rest. ‘Take all elds in rutativo, and our jand is all rested every fourth year, Plant the first field in corn, ) and plough it deep while sluggards sleep, and you will have corn to sell and to keep,) and when we plough our corn the last time, sow peas—the tory or the red ripper is, Ll think, the best. Gather your corn as early as possible, turn in your stock and eat out the field; then start a plough and we should be governed by cir- cumstances what sort ofa plough. Ifthe ground we should apply a good turning plough ; but if the ground is clean, a square poiut scooter and mouldbuard will answer; break the field close and deep; let it lie by, till you want to sow your wheat, (forward whaat is best for our climate,) prepare the seed by soaking it ina brine made of common salt fiom six tu eight hours, and while wet, roll the wheat in slacked lime; you can sow it wet or let it get dry ; about from three pecks tu a bushel is thick enougo ou common land; lime is a preveutative of smot and gives the young plant a vigorous growth ; the salt drives away insects. Wheat should be plonghed in deep ; one inch ie deep enough; and if the ground is rough, it is best to pass a rake over it. It is owing to the rough manner that we sow our wheat that we have so many tailures in that crop. Alter the wheat is cut, turo iv your stovk to glean your fieid ; and about the first of July, sow and plough in about a peck of peas per acre. These are intended for ia. nure, and about the last of September, they should be turned under with a turning plough. This field pow goes to rest for one year; but it is best to sow another crop of peas in July the same year. You rest your field, and turn your vines under, the next September ; by this tne, we have three or four vegetable matters turned and mixed in our land. ‘This, with the rest it has received will prepare the land to make a good crop of cylton without any more manure. Nevertheless, we should manure every acre we plant, and to this end, we should have a ditch in our lot, constructed in such a manner as to catch all the wash. It is best to have this reservoir covered with boards. Ev ery thing io the shape of manure should be put in this ditch early in the spring or season as possible. Start your plough or ploughs, as the case may be; run a furrow as deep as you can with a shovel plough, and if you think il neces. sary, run another in the same furrow ; com. mence hauling from your ditch and every other place you can get any manure ; place your ma. nure in the furrow, and with a turning plough fling a head on it; continue so the field over. Corn should follow cotton, and should be planted in the cottonridge. Run a furrow un- der the old cotton stalks, but above the manure; plant your corn, and run cne furrow on each | side ; when the corn starts to come up, run a board or horse.rake over i:. Corn planted in this way is benefited by the manure of the pre- vious year almost to as large an extent as if the manure was put there the same year.— There are many adva:tages in manuring on of our land are necessary; and to do this, | the’ Lord this plan, but [ have not the opportunity at this time to urge them. Wheat should follow afier | corn. This plan of rotation, rest, and maour- ing, will have the desired effect, | think ; and I recommend all the farmers at least to give the above a calm, cool, and deliberate considera tion. I do not say the plan is clear of defects ; » it may be improved on ; and I hope some one more able thaw myself will take it into cunsid eration. Come up, gentlemen, and put your shoulder to the wheel of prosperity —yive one steady pull on the subject of renovating our lands ; and il we should succeed in the experiment, and bring back our iands to their virgin fertility, will be a day of rejoicing to all. Yours, &e. J. A. WILLIAMS. ALWAYS HAPPY. In France, not many years ago, there lived a young lad, who had arrived at that age at which it is necessary tu make choice of some occupation by which to earn a living, and who was intensely desirbus of choosing that which should most contribute to hia happiness in the world, He was not an ambitious youth ; be did not wish to be great, or wise, or rich, but only to be happy.. His. parents aad chosen a trade for him, but it did not please him. He wished to be a chemist: the reason of bis wish was, that in the neighborhood lived a chemist and druggist, a cheerful and amiable mano, whose pleasent face and constant good humor inepired our young friend with the idea that the employment of a chemist must needs be a very happy one. The lad’s choice was not agreeable to his parents; they did all they pos- sibly could to dissuade bim from it, but in vain; so he was pi with the chemist. Experi. ence, however, ‘soon taught him that which he would not learn from his friends, namely, “that it does not follow that a person must be happy because he is a chemist.” He soon found that the cheerfulness and contentment of his master was not necessarily connected with his bottles and drugs. He himself was neither cheerful, nor contented, nor happy. Jo. after a time he gave up the idea of being a dian, and con- F sented to follow the employment his friends thought best for him, living the same sort. of life that people usually do, neither better nor happier than they. Still, he never quite forgot the idea of bis youth, and always longed some sort of happiness above what he pos. sessed, One day he overtook a poor colporteur, (a man who carries about bovks for sale,) who was trudging gayly along, and singing by the way. He bad a pack of things to sell. “Can you sell ine,” says our friend, “the secret of being happy?” “~ Why, yes, I can,” said the man, letting down his pack ; “ and cheap, too,” he continued, taking out a book and presenting it; “this will teach you how to be happy.” It was the Bivle. Our friend bad asked the ques. tion much as Pilate asked our Cord, * What is truth,” he neither expected nor desired an an swer. He, read it. Afier sometime spent in patient seeking, he found that it bad, indeed, the power of communicating the secret of hap- piness ; and he walked iu the pleasant ways of He afierwards became, whut he still is, the pastur of a Protestant church in Switzerland. Great Experiment with the Fire Annihila- tor—Excuement. Public notices were given that a grand ex. perimeat witb the Fire Annihilator would be made ov the 18th inst. (last Thursday) at 61st st., this city, at 1 P. M. The bandbills aud advertisements stated that a house would be set on Gre, and all that bad been claimed for the * Annthilater,” by Mr. Baraum and others interesied, would be coufismed by the annibi. lator extinguishing the flames and saving the burning bouse. [lt is weil known to our read ers that this invention bas caused great excite. ment in our country, and that the company which owns the patent is composed of very wealthy and what are termed “ big men.”— Determined to be on the first step of the ladder, we purchased a copy of the patent specification, gol up engravings of the drawings, and pub. lished them in No. 1, this volume, Scientific American. Having served as a fireman, and being not a little acquaiuted with the manage. inent of fires, also with the nature of the gases which extinguish fame, we tuvk occasiun, al- ter a calm review of the matter, to say tbat we had no confidence in the general utility of the * Fire Annibilator.” Our language was mod- erate bul decisive, nevertheless, being lovers ol fair play, and being guided by the rule of honesty to conless wrong, when our ‘error is demunstrated, we said in the article referred to, * we shall watch ils progress and report its effects ; it it proves all that some have said about it, we shall say so, when convineed by occular demonstration.”” We were on the ground be- fure the appuinied hour. ‘The house built for (he experiment was a small frame building 20 feet square, placed in a field on an elevated po- sition. It was a rough board cotiage the main body of which was two stories high, anda wing at each side. There was no bottom floor ; the outside boards were placed vertical. ly, with weather strips nailed on the seams.— We were permitted to examine the building by the door keeper, before it was set on fire. In the middle ot the main part we re about a dozen 12 feet boards, some scantling, &c., set up ver- tically through a hole in the floor—the only floor—ol the second story. Shavings were stuck around and between the buards, which were placed quite wide apart, and the roof inside was plastered with lime, and not yet dry. A crowd of police were there, and a chain was placed on the stakes around the building, about ten feet from it. At half past one o'clock, a gentleman came on the back roof, and request- ed all to ret#e outside as Mr. Phillips was go- ing to set the building on fire. _ lt was propos- ed that a committee should bejappuinted by the crowd to examine the building, wilness the op- | eration inside, and report. The committee was appuinted, and consisted of Alfred Carson, our Chiet Engineer, R. B. Coleman, Jobn P. La. cour, Zophar Mills, Moses O. Allen, and Mr. Eichell. ‘The following is their report :— * First, The building was constructed of green spruce timber, and constructed in such | a manner as would bave been a dithcult mat. ler, under ordinary circumstances, to have got | | it fairly on fire. Second, in our opinion Mr. Phillips had eve. ry opportunity afforded bim to fairly test the ex- periment, and everything was iv bis favor, Third, a slight fire was kindled inside the | building, and the anuihilator was almust in- stantly applied, before the fire got headway to any considerable extent—it partially estin- guished it.” We would report further :—the wind was high and treezing, and il there was any virtue iv the Annibilaturs, and the experiment fairly conducted, the character of the * Aunibilator” would bave been estallished forever. We counted twenty-one large aonihilators, the price of each $35: if the shavings had been let alone, the fire would have gone out cf itself, without the application of a single macbine.— The crowd, numbering thousands, was dissat- isfied, numbers jumped over the chains. ascen- ded the roof, etitered the windows, and expos- ed to the crowd the hoards which had been set on fire aud extingvished—ihey were not cbar- red, some not colored with smoke. ‘They then got a barrel of tar, piled up boards inside, and set the building truly on fire ; fur a long time thie was difficult to do; we never saw hoards so difficult to bura. When fairly on fire there was a good opportunity to try the effect of the Anoibilator. Not one was applied,—tbe build- ing burned to the ground. The crowd jrered and cheered, shouted * humbug,” and “where’s Barnum?” Mr. Phillips, we were told, com. menced to apply the Annihilator against the request of the Committee, who thought it was not then fairly on fire. We were told that eight Annthilators were applied: we do not know how many were applied; we saw twen- ty one full charged before the fire, besides a large box of charges, and 16 empty after it,— Whea we examined the building we were sat- isfied that the experiment was not intended to be a fair ope ; two buckets of water could have done all the “ Annibilators” did; still, we feh for Mr. Phillips ; he was no doubt pained and mortified at the result, but a New York popu- SALISBURY, N. C., THURSDAY, JANUAYR 8, 1852. SELES SSS lace could not be satisfied with what he did; and wherewitball, if he had heen a New York fireman, be would have managed his own in. vention much better. We pope that none of our friends have lost anything by this invention; we early raised our warning voice, not that we were to the owners or the invention, but because we deemed its scientific qualities of no practical utility for the purposes intended. The thous. ands assembled to witness the experiment, without perhaps a single exception, believed it to be an entire failure. It was intended by the American Fire Aani- lator Co. to make a fine speculation out of it. The private circular of the Annihilator Co., siated—“ An end must be put at once to every serious conflagration in America ;” it bas not put ap end to one: a poor wood frame house put an end to 21 Annibilators, at $35 each— total cost $735: and two buckets of water, costing 0, could bave done as well. An agent for a machine wis to have a profit of 66 3-8 percent. One of the great advantages of this invention, says the circular, “ will be the im. mediate reduction it must occasion in the rates of insurance.” We bave not heard of this bav. img been done in a single case. None would bave rejuicgd more thaa we had this invention been a genuine “ Fire Anathilator.”—Scien. lifie American. CURES FOR SORE THROATS. Dr. Cornell publishes articles in the Boston Medical Journal, respecting the use of inhaling @ powder for sore throats, &c. In March, 1848 he says, Dr. ‘I’. K. Chambers, of London, pub- lished in the London Loncet, and also in the Medical Gazette, an account of his use of an inhaling powder ; and giving its composition. | immediately bad some of it prepared accord- ing !o his formula, which is as follows: “ The plan is, the inhalation of a light inno. cuous powder, which may carry with it the re- quired substance, either diffused in the air or absorbed io ils pores. That which I have found well suiied tu the purpose is the pollen of the lycopedium, or club.moss, which bas been made to imbibe as much as it would take up of a saturated solution of nitrate of silver, or of sul- phate of copper, or of the two combined, and then carefully dried, and reduced again to an impalpable powder. I have found this powder serviceable in se- veral cases of bronchitis, laryngitis, ulcerated sore throat, inflammation of the mucuous folli- cles, and ia incipient phthisis. It is much pre- ferable prepared as here directed, to that mixed with sugar, as the real pulverized nitrate was then used ; but, as bere prepared, the nitrate is first dissolved in pure water, then the ‘ pol- len of the moss’ is dipped in a saturated solu- tion (or that of any other strength desired,) then dried, and finely pulverized. It can be made of any desirable strength, and should con. tain less of the nitrate than that made from a saiuraied solution, when employed with very irritable patients. A smal] quantity, say three or four grains, of the powder, is put into the receiver of the. inbaler, the inhaler is then placed in the mouth of the patient, as far back upon the tongue as can be conveniently borne; then held by the lips, or left hand of the patient, while with the right band the receiver is twirled round to scat- ter the powder, and, by a full inspiration at the same time it is conveyed into the throat. This process may be repeated once a day, or more frequently if desirable. If the solution is used, the shower syringe is altogether more conven. ient and easy of application, and agreeable both to practitioner and patient, and does the work much more thoroughly, than the probang. [ have also made trial of the zinc, copper, } alum, and some other astringments, prepared in the same way; but I think the nitrate for, general use, is preferable to any other. Though the sulpate of copper, in some cases, has been as servicable, and | have thought, even more 80, in syphilitic sore throat. | In a class of diseases which have so very | generally resulted in death, it seems to claim the allention of medical men, and deserves a fair and thorough trial. It requires great care to make this powder | in @ proper manner, and tbe inhaler should be |such as will easily convey it into the air | tubes.” | COLT’S PISTOLS. Atthe meeting of the Institution of Civil | Engineers, in London, on the 25th of Nov., | Sir William Cubitt in the chair, a paper from | Col. Samuel! Colt, of the United States, on his "revolving fire-arms, was read and highly ap. | planded, as it was the first communication re- ceived from Ame:ica. The paper went over ‘the whole history of improvements in revolv- _iog-breech fire-arms. It appears that early ef. forts bad been made to produce fire.arms capa- ble of rapidly firing several times without the | delay of loading after each discharge. Draw-, | ings of a number of these were exhibited.— | Among vld matchlock guns, some of them had eight chambers, rating by hand ; some stone’ | wheel locks bad a.se eight rotating chambers, | and one of these, made in the seventeenth cen- | tury, had the peculiarity of igniting the charge | ; % close behind the bullet, in the same way as lthat of the Prussian Needle Gun. In the | United Service Museum there was a brass model of a pistol of the time of Charles II., the chariber of which was made to rotate by mechanical devices nearly similar, but more complicated than that of Colt’s pistol. The inventor of * Nock’s Patent Breech,” and the Rev. Mr. Forsyth’s percussion gon, were es- sential to the safe construction of repeating fire arms. . The manvlactaring of fre-arms, is dove in quite a different manner in America from what it is io England. In England the greatest number of all the parts of a guo-are made by hand; in America they are made by machine- ry. The advantages of the latter mode are reat, for the lock of one pistol, or any one of a» pistol, will fit the same part of anoth- er like pistol equally well. Thus, if one part gets broken, the fragments can be taken out sad a new entire piece purchased to fit the place and perform the offices of the injured part exactly. Only ten per cent. of Coli’s fire-arms are made by hand laber. The ac- curacy of Colt’s pistols was fully proven in England by experiments, for at Woolwich, men unaccustomed to the use of the said pistols, at- tained to great precision, and with a small bel: pistol, at a distance of fifty yards, out of 48 shots, 25 ballets took effect within one foot square, and 13 of them hit the bull’s eye, which was 6 inches in diameter ; all the shots struck the target.—Scientific American. Speed of the Magnet Current.—A .long ex. perience of the coast survey with some dozen different lines of telegraph, establishes the fact that the velocity of the galvanic current is a- bout fifieen thousand four hundred miles per second, The time of transit bétween Boston and Bangor was recently measured, and the result was that the time occupied in the trans- mission was one sixteenth-thousandth of a se- cond, and the velocity of the rate of sixteen thousand miles per second, which is about six hundred miles per second more than the aver- age of other experiments. If it is desirable, the Yankee can be found who will make an effort to improve upon this speed.— Bos. Jour. [This must be slow electricity, for it has long ago been held to be a fact, by electrical philosophers, that the effects of an electric cur. rent would appear at a distance of 576,000 miles in one second ; and, alier all, it cannot truly be said that the velocity of electricity bas ever been truly measured—approximation is all that can be claimed. The Christmas “ sports” [7] of the vi- cious and disorderly of our city, it will be seen elsewhere, have resulted in the death of two individuals, and the incarceration of several charged with the commission of crime. These results will, it is sincere- ly to be hoped, induce the adoption of mu- nicipal regulations effectually repressing future violations of existing laws,—as well as cause the enactment of ordinan- ces, the provisions of which shall be suf ficiently stringent to protect the lives and property of our citizens from the anlaw- ful acts of reckless men or boys. The discharge of fire-arms of any kind or on any occasion, in our streets, we be- lieve, is strictly prohibited now, and it is only required that some striking examples should be made to cause the ordinance to be obeyed. No respect of person or sta- tion should be regarded where such a vi- olation of law takes place. The olderghe individual, or the higher the station, the greater the fault, and the more severe should be the penalty. The ignorant and voeducated and thoughtless boy, must be repressed and governed by example, as well as in person; and therefore, when such shall see that reckless men are not permitted to commit improper acts with impunity, they will naturally become more regardful of their own conduct. Another instance of escape from wound or perhaps death. was brought to our no- tice yesterday. The drawing room of a house in Tradd street was, from cause, closed on Christmas day.

FRUIP CULTURE FOR THE SOUTH. We have so many inquiries from different paris of the South upon the different branches of Fruit Culture, that we cannot answer all more than to Fépiiblish our treaties upon Fruit Culwre at the , submitted to the firet Fair. ot the Rassell and Muscogee Agricultural Sueiety. Since our visit 10 the Macon Fair, we are more than ever convinced of the beautiful adaptation of our climate to the growth and full periection ofall the Fruits described. Will some of our Southern readers add to the list the culture of ihe O:ange, Leman, Pine- Apple, Date Olive, and Guava, as adapted to portions of Georgia, Florida, Alabama, Louisiana and-Tex- as?’ In the Culture of the Fruits we have no experience, and shall feel under obligations if some one having experience will come to our aid. APPLE. ' Northern. Here we never have that scou of Northern Pear trees, thé frozen sap has the ire blight made its e here. Take i adingerber i the berdiet frat cul vated at South, and the wonder is, why it is pot more extensively cultivated. The Pear will grow in any soil that will Corn, but it most delights in a light, ricb loam, impreg- nated with iron; for this reason, blacksmiths’ cinders have been found valuable to apply arouod Pear trees. They may be propogated by seeds, where new varieties are wanted, and grafts, where a new and valuable kind is to be propagated. It will take some more patience tu rear seedlings than {rom the Apple, as the Pear seldom bears from seed under ten or fif- teen years, and frequently not under twenty ; but as the tree has uot the principles of decay stamped upon it that the Apple has, grafis may be Lrought from any country where the Pear has been brought to the highest state of perfec. tion, and those who choose to experiment may All the fine varieties of this fruit have been the first great improvements in fruit calture.— The cultivated apples of the United States were introduced from Europe by seeds and by cut. | tings, and although the wild crab grows in al- ty is indigeno vating the app most every Siategin the Union, na edible varie. | “f all the trees ariginaied in a colder climate. and | a change of climate is almost certain to pro. duce disease.

Apple seeds should be planted in the Fall, or ifdelayed until Spring, warm wa. ter should be poured over the seeds until they sprout, which will be in about three days, and then the seed pianied will grow from three to six feet the first year, and produce fruit in three | or four years from seed; and out of a lot of seedlings, in all probability there will be some | good fruit; these may be grafiing, which isthe most certain and way of propagation in this climate. ‘This may be done from the first of February to the first of April. ‘Take seeding roots of one year’s growth, cut them off about one inch lower than they came out of the ground, now split the re- maining stem jest enough to take in the graft. The gralts should be taken from fruit bearing trees, and from the wood of last year’s growth ; cut the grafig with two or three buds, and as | many as passible with terminal buds; take a sharp knife and cut the end ofthe graft ina wedge form, commencing @t the lower bud ; now insert j{ in the root, taking care to keep the two outside barks together ; plant the root either in the nursery or where the tree is to stand, leaving tLe terminal above the ground ; be careful in pressing the earth around the graft, that jt is not moved from the union of its bark with the bark of the root. In any good soil, the graft will grow from four to six feet the first year, and will produce fruit the second or third year. The graft has now become a tree, and to be made productive must be culti- vated, nursed, and tended. It will grow on al. most any rich soil, and it is useless to culti- vate the apple unless the soil is rich. Where the soil is not naturally rich, the roots should anoually receive a top dressing of some good vegetable matter, with a little line or ashes.— The tree should be pruned, so as to throw out its branches low, to shade the trunk trom the intense heat of our summer’s sun, which fre. quenily blisters the bark, causing disease and death. The ground of the orchard should be regularly cultivated, taking care not to injure the roots. One of the best methdds ever adop. ted in this clinvate, is to shade the whole grounds of the orchard with straw—wheal, oat, of pine straw. ‘This preserves an even tem. peruture, keeps the ground cvol and moist, and gives the tree an asiunishing vigor and beauty. Phere are fuur insects which are great ene. mies to the Apple in this section—ihe borer, the moth, the ba:k louse and the black worm, which infest the rovis. ‘The best remedy for the borer and bark louse, is to rub the trunk and the limbs of the tree with soft country soap; this not only destroys the insects, but invigorates the tree, and also effectually pre- vents rabbits from barking them ; for the black ‘ worm around the base of the tree, ashes or lime may be used with advantage, and are a good preventive—but where the worm has al. ready begun his ravages, take a sharp knife | and pick bim out, filling up all worm holes and wounds with soft soap. ‘The moth that pro- duces the Apple worm may be destroyed by picking up all the fruit that falls, and feeding it to hogs, or by permitting bogs to run in the orcbard. If the people of the South will discard Nor. thera raised Apple trees, and raise their owo seedlings, we may have the Apple in as great perfection here as any where else; fur wher. ever the wild crab grows, there may the im. proved varieties be grown also. It is true the jree will not be as long lived here as at the North, but they come into bearing so much sooner. It is stated of the celebraied green plum, that out of several bushels of seed ted, and raised to bearing that the green ge Was the only one out of the whole lot worth cultivating : and if we can by planting bushels of Apple seeds, produce one that shall hold rank as a fruit with the green Gage, it would be the greatest acquisition to fruit culture that bas ever beamed upon the South ; and it ean be done—all it wants is patience and per Wrsnce, = ‘Phe greatest real difficulty that we have to contend with, is the speedy decay of the fruit, afior it has matured.

The Pear | needs little or no pruning, and to render it dwarf \in its habits, graft it on Quince stalks; this is particularly well adapted to garden culture, and | brings them into bearing sooner than standard | trees. THE PEACH. | The Peach is a native of Asia, and was first | introduced into Europe by the Romans, and | into this country by the early settlers. Itis ea. sily propogated, either by seeds, cuttings or gralting. Peaches come into bearing in this | climate, from the seed, in two and three years ' but as there is no certaiity of producing the same variety from seed, as (he parent (ree, cut- tings or graiting must be resortedto. In grafi- | ing the Peach, graft in roots of Peach, Plum or Apricot, one year old, as directed for the Apple ; | this method of grafting is easier than budding, and altogether superior; for as the graft is in. serted below the surface of the ground, the whole tree is of the grafted variety ; they will grow {rom six to eight leet the first season, and will bear fruit the second ; the grafting should be done just as the bud begins to swell ; pinch off all the blossom buds, and leave the terminal and one side bud above the surface of the ground. A rich sandy loam, suits the peach best, and imparts the finest flavor to the fruit. | The great enemy to the Peach in this country, } is the Peach worm; this is a worm much re- | sembling a flat head, which preys upon the tree pear the roots, frequently ealing entirely | around the trunk, causing death to the tree; ! | they may easily be detected by the black gum. } my substance exuding around the base of the tree, ‘here are many remedies and prevent. ives recommended ; time and ashes are good preventives ; scrape away the earth around the | base of the tree, and fill it with some good air- slacked lime, or good fresh ashes; renew this every spring ; but where the worm has got al. ready a good hold, | have never found anything so effectual as boiling water, turned from the spout of a tea-kettle ; be careful and not apply too much water ata time, as it might kill the tree ; but a moderate quantily not only kills all the eggs and worms, but seems to invigorate the tree. ‘The worm is produced by a fly, which | deposits eggs in the bark around the base, and | they hatch out a while flatworm and commence their work of destruction immediately. Anoth. er pest to Peach culture, is the worm in the fruit, from the wooly duwn on the young Peach ; the fruit is not as subject to the attacks of in. sects as the plum, and if bogs are allowed to run in the Peach orchard, they effectually keep down the insect, as they eat all the falling fruit destroying the insect with it. A peach crop, to come to its highest perfection, should be till- ed with as much assiduily as Corn or Cotton. The great fault with Soutbern Peach Culturists is, theyare not satisfied with the yield of Peach }es; but they must annually crop the Peach or. chard, and it must yield Corn or Cotton, as well as Peaches, A peach orchard, planted twenty feet each way, will require every inch of soil in the intervening spaces for the roots, 10 per. fect the trunk, foliage, flowers and fruit; and every crop taken from the Peach orchard, is | Just so much taken from the productiveness of the trees. ‘This may be objected to by some who have tried some crops amongst their trees with apparent good results; but in cultivating the crups, the trees got more culture than usu al, and showed an increased production over the season when they were iv the turf. If the trees bore betier by cultivating a crop amongst them, how moch better would they bear culti- vated without the crop! It isa well establish. ed fact, that all grain crops are positively in- jurious to fruittrees. ‘The proper time for prun. ing in this climate is July; the wound then heals quickly, and as Peaches are only made on new wood, it is besi to shorten in the branch. es,to induce the limbs to make new wood, which will give plenty of fruit the next season. A serious difficulty the peach has to contend with here, is the the late Spring frosts. The warm days of winter swell the bud, as the first genial day of Spring it burst forth in its tender. ness and beauty, but to be blackened and bligh. ted by a lingering frost. For this reason, Peaches should never be planted on low, wet lands, or in the vicivity of streams of water, as they are much more liable to he killed by frost than when pianted on high and dry lauds. As to varieties there are seedling Peaches raised oa many of our plantations that will compare favorably with any of the grafts of France, and whoever may wish to start a Peach orchard, need not go out of Georgia fur varieties. Peach seed should be planted immediately afier eating the fruit. Lt is frequently observed that self. planted Peaches make the most vigorous trees, and the reason is, they had a better start.

It is said that the day afier General Jack. son’s inauguration, twenty-four editors of news- papers marched in procession to the president, “to get their pay.” Poor old man! he was to be pitied. Among them was Noah, of the Advocate, and Hill, of the Patriot. Noah was a man of ease, and to appearance, well fed.— Hill was lean and laok—a very Cassius.— Noah, a conning, shrewd fellow, stopped the procession and proposed a different order.— “ Here!” said he—*Hill, you are the ugliest of the clan, and of hungry aspect enough ; I am fat and plump. You shall lead us on : and soon as the old President sees this picture of starvation, he will surrender at once.’ Well, it worked to a charm. ‘They entered the pal. ace in this order ; the’ President was sent for and entered the room. He started back—* Good God ! gentlemen, take all you want.” The old hero, though bis nerves never forsook him in battle, could not stand this, but surrendered at once ;, and twenty-three of the twenty-four ob. tained office ; and the twenty fourth, for being left out, Jet out the whole story. Another Search for Sir John Franklin. —The Pioneer and Intrepid. screw steam- vessels, formely employed in the Arctic expedition under Captain H. T. Aastin, C. B., have been taken intothe inner basin, alongside the factory here, to have their engines examined and any defects found in them made good, preparatory to the vessels being again made ready, in the spring of 1852, for a further search for Sir John Franklin and his long absent com- panions. Great regret is expressed by several of the officers who were attached to Capt. Austin’s expedition that they were not made aware, when in the Arc- tic regions of what has now, been stated by Capt. Penny, in a letter ta the Secreta- ry of the Geographical Society, that he had found “a watch tent upon a height about four miles north and west from the position occupied by the ships” as the win- ter quarters of the missing vessels, and “in the tent we found a small piece of pa- per with the words ‘to be called,’ the other part of which must have been torn off, thus evidently showing that a regular watch bad been left.” Had the officers been aware of the fact now made public, they would unanimously have volunteer- ed their services to make further search up Wellington Channel belore returning home. ‘The general impression is, among all naval officers, that Sir John Franklin must have left papers to indicate the course he intended to take, and that a fur- ther search is desirable at the earliest pos- sible moment.— English paper. THE FIRE IN THE CAPITOL. A letter from Washington publisbed in the New York “ Tribune” says, “The negligence of the watch is un- speakaply inexcusable. But who expects the people about the Capitol to do any thing but plunder the Government? We shall have an investigation and a report, bat this will be but cold comfort.” The charge of “negligence of the watch” thus made is indeed inexcusable. The writer, doubtless, heard something in the rumors of the day which, in his opin- ion, authorized him to make it. Such ru- mors we believe did, to a certain extent, prevail; but itis now fully known that the watch were in nowise culpable. The fire did not originate in any neglect or agency of theirs, and could not have been prevented by them in the discharge of any duty pertaining to them. . Such is now admitted to be the fact; and it is no more than an act of sheer jus- tice to Mr. Dunnington, the efficient and getlemanly captain of the watch, to say, that to his presence of mind and prompt and active energy are we indebted for the preservation of the main building; for seeing that it was impossible to arrest the flames in the room in which it originated, and that the engines could not be brought | to play upon the fire in time to prevent its spreading to the principal dome, he caus- ed the copper to be torn from the connect- | ing woodwork, and dispatched messengers | to purchase buckets and ropes, with which he arrested the progress of the flames.

MURDER. A foul murder was perpetrated in the western part of this county, the night of the 24th Dec., on the body ef a negro boy the property of Joseph Gillespie, of Iredell county. He was missing from his place on the morning of the 25th, and enquiry and search then commenced for him.— Subsequently suspicions of foul play exci- ted the mind of his owner, and the search was kept up until the morning of the 31st Dec., when his lifeless body was found in an open old field near Mr. Ruel McNeely’s. His skull was broken in for an inch and a half, caused, no doubt, by a heavy blow with a club. Two negroes, a man and woman, one the property of Henry McHenry, the oth- er, of Rael McNeely, have been commit- ted on suspicion, and will probably be tried at our next Superior Court. ¢ - The New Orleans Picayune says that the war with Mexico has taught the Mexicans to lay bigh value upon American horses, and that some furty or fifty very fine specimens of Ken- tucky and other Western breeds, have been shipped from that port to Vera Cruz within tbe Jast three weeks; another cargo of twenty- five will be forwarded in a day or two, and a- bout twenty more wil] be shipped in the course of a fortnight. The animals thus sent out are said to be of the very best breed, and were picked out especially to suit the tastes of the most extravagant Mexigan admirer of borse flesh. ‘The speculation appears to be as suc- cessful as it is novel. jare erroneously construed by our ‘ New Orleans, | That is just about as we ex doubt our friend expresses the fee}; ‘ a great many others—they oa: : tired of Kossuth—not SO much of ther, as of the disgusting adulation J apon him by the northern Press and ern. correspondents. ° ‘Excepting his effort to conyj cowntry that the principles of W, great statesmen, and the assump; better knowledge of their true meg: which, to say the least of it, Was ind cate,the Hungarian General has beeasl ty of nSconsiderable imprudence, Hi ous appeals to our Country, in behalfy suffering people are worthy of a great p and have no doubt found a kind re even in the bosom of the friend who as above.

Stokes Coal.—We have received a spe- cimen of mineral coal from the lands of William Mathews, Esgq., five miles east of Germanton, which, so far as looks is con- cerned, is equal in quality to the Deepriv- ercoal.

For our part we “ own up” that the discrep- ancy which has arrested her attention, escaped us en- tirely ; and for a satisfactory explanation demand of the ** Mountain Banner to come to the rescue—for its own sake to “ clear up” this matter to the satisfaction of Mrs. “ Glover.” A Heavy Hog.—Dr. G.

Infidelity is the effusion of weak minds, and the resource of guilty ones.

Stokes Coal.—We have received a spe- cimen of mineral coal from the lands of William Mathews, Esq., five miles east of Germanton, which, so far as looks is con- cerned, is equal in quality to the Deepriv- ercoal. It has the appearance of a pure specimen of the bituminous coal.

Salisbury, April 3, 1851 48 Telegraph Water Carrier! f Majenees is a new and very useful invention for the purpose of raising and conveying water either from springs or wells, for domestic uses. 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 bun- 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.

T. Haigh and Mr. E. W. Willkings, on Dick Street, which were in great danger from the sparks and flame wafted by a pretty strong breeze, were saved by the exertions of the citizens and firemen. The loss by this fire is nearly $20.000 of which Mr. MeKethan’s is perhaps $10,- 000 to $12,000, White & Rahboteau's §2,- 000, to $3 000, A. McLauclilin’s $2,500 to $3,000, Jas. Sundy’s $500.

On the other buildings insar. ance could not be effected, jn consequence of their combustible state, thd the hazard of the business carried on within them, Large quantities of valuble tools, ma- terials, and finished work, were saved from the. buildings. We are glad to learn that Mr. McKeth- an, fearing a fire on his premises, had for a long time past deposited his Lumber in buildings distant from his establishment, so that he will commence operations again with a full stock of seasoned materials. The sufferers are not in a condition to be seriously affected by their losses, except Messrs. White & Raboteau, worthy and industrious young men, recently estab. lished in business, who lost every thing, books, tools, materials and finished work. To all of them, however, the loss is severe, as it is; in every case, the loss of the gains of a long course of persevering. industry, skill and intergrity. As the Carolinian justly says, “the sufferers are some of our very best citizens, and they have the warm sympathy of the entire community.” ‘ Bat they will not be long depressed by this misfortune. . The spirit of Mr. McKethan no doubt animates them all. Before the fire was extinguished, we learn that he said to some of his numerous workmen who were assisting him with an energy ptompted by warm regard and high re- spect, that he did not wish any of them to consider themselves as out of employment, for he hoped in a very short time again to have plenty of work for them all. This is in keeping with the character of a lib- eral, enterprising and energetic public spirited citizen, as Mr. McKethan has ever shown himself to be. We hope, soon to see the space lately covered by those old tinder-boxes of hou-, ses again teeming with activity in the greater security of substantial fire-proof houses. And we doubt not that a liberal public will soon enable all the sufferers to regain their late condition of prosperi- ty.

I've been so busy for about a month past. | couldn't get time to write no how. Un- cle Joshua and I have been hard to work all the time, day and night, reading your speeches and the duins of the meetins in N. York and England. We begun a week or two before you got to York, and have been atit ever since. Wecommonly get up and go to breakfast, and take turns reading, and keep it up till bed time: that is, till nine o’clock inthe evenir ; that isthe time we Downingville folks, go to bed. So I hope you wont feel slighted becatise I haven’t found time to write to you afore now, and hope you haven't felt lonesome since you've been in York, I see you are on the way to Philadelphy, and Baltimore and Washington, and if you should feel lonesome in them places, jest tarn about and come down here to Downingville, and we'll y to cheer you up abd make you feel at home. JI say this because ] have took a great liking to you, and I always mean what] say. I’ve took a greater liken to you than any bady else since | lost my dear old friend Gineral Jackson. May be it is because you are so mach like him. Fact, in some things it seems to me you are jest like him. Old Hickory was the man what “ took responsibility” when he wanted to do any thing; and I see you are jest so; you aint aftaid totake the re- sponsibility ; and what's better still, you are trying to encourage other folks to take the responsibility tu. Old Hickory was a great hand to make principles, and then fight ’em through. And there agin I think you are a good deal like him. And, by the way, | begin to feel quite a liking for President Bonaparte of France. for | see he’s took the responsibility at last, and been makin principles and fightin of ‘em through. There’s some smart folks in the world yet ; and it’s well there is, for it’s pretty likely there'll be a use for ’em be- fore another year is out. And then ano- ther thing which makes me think you are so mach like old Hickory is the hoorahs. Why, it seems to me] can lear ’em all the way from York to Downingville ; and it carries me right back to old times, when the whole country was ringing with “ hoo- rah for Jackson.” I think, dear Governor, you better stop here tilt next summer, and not go back to Hungary. We shall have to make a new President next summer, and you might get in to be President jest as easy as a cat could lick her ear—and a President you know is higher than Governor. Had n't you better take it? I know you can get it if you’lt only say the word. Our par- ties in this country have been so broke to pieces and mixed up lately that nobody could tell who to pitch upon for President; and we've been.a gooddeal worried for fear we shoaldn’t make out to choose any President at all next summer. And | aint sure but what you've got here jest in the nick of time to get us out of this scrape. For if you'l only stand as candidate you'll go in all holler. I never knew it fail. when the hoorahs go up so strong as they have been since you got to York.

Now I know we have'nt got any body in this country from Maine to Texas, nor from Dan to Beer Sheba, that can hold a candle to you in that kind’ of business.— Of course when I'say this I mean the ‘old bible Dan and Beer Sheba; there is an. other Dan inthis country, that if you should bapen to ron ‘a-foul of I don’t know but the case might be different. Now it seems to me ‘you’ better go in for the: Presiilency instead of going back to Hangary; a bird in the hand is worth two inthe bush any how; and this coun- try is fairly ander your thumb ‘now, but Hungary is still ander the ‘paw of the Rassian ‘Bear. So that although you are the Governor of Hungary, it’s likely enough there would’be a pesky hard’scratch’ be- fore you could govetn it, if you went back. But | see some of the papers say’ that you aint Governor of Hangary now, although they don't deny bet what you was once. I wish them papers had’ better manners; they might jest as well sdy that] aint a Major now, because | aint ‘all ‘the ‘time riding a-hossback at the head of régimént of sogers. No, no, that wont do; it's‘non- sense, and impodence tu. The rule in this country is, once a Major always a Major, and once a Governor always a Governor. A man’s title belongs to him as much as his name does. My Major belongs to me and your Governor belongs te you, and nobudy -hasn’t any right to take it away from us any more than he has to upset a nation. Because it'sa principle, and found- ed in everlasting justice ; therefore it is not only the law of this country, but it is the trae and jast law of nations ; and oor Government and our country not only ought to respect it themselves bat to make others respect tt. Well, now, dear Governor, if you should not think it best to accept my offer about the Presidency, and should rather go back and run your chance in Hungary, the next question is to see what can be done for you on that score. You say, you want that we, that is, all American and the uni- versal Yankee nation, should say you have a fair right to be called Governor of Hun- gary. Agreed; I've already proved that you bave that right, and shall have it as long as yoo live. There won't be no more trouble on that score. That question is disposed of forever, I bope. In the next. place, you want us to say that Hungary got herindependence of Aus- tria fairly, and ought to have it. Agreed to that, too. We say it, and ought to stand to it, all weathers. Hungary fit it out like a man, and ought to be free for- ever and a thousand years afterwards.— And the traitor Gorgey ought to have bis neck stretched, and the Russian Bear ought to bave his toe nails cat off and his nose muzzled, so that he couldn't bite or scratch any body again, nor interfere in other folk’s domestic affairs. In the next place, you say you want “ some- thing else.” which, as near as I can find out by the papers, means money matters, and food and raiment and clothes, and a few guns, and the like of that, because you are going back to have another tussle with Austria and Russia. Agreed to that, too. You shall have all you want. Jest hold you basket and we'll fill it, if it is a dozen times a day. I see money is be- ginning to poor in upon you in a thousand jiule streams and some pretty large rivers, and it wont be long before you'll have a whole miat of it, besides guos and kpapsacks and catridge boxes. When I read some of your speeches to our folks about your poor down-trodden coun- Iry, it. made the tears come, I tell ye, Cousin Nabby said she would kpit stockins all the winter and send them over for your sogers, so they shouldn’t have to go barefoot as ours did in the Revolution.

And, as you wantus to take. hold of Russia first, I spose she is the first one we sought to, ask consent of, And if the Russian will, consest that we shall hold him back we r back and run the risk of it. ;, And in the next'place, dear Governor, it might be very well for us to take care of the world, and carry out the Jaws of nations, and make every body do right every where, if ther wasn’t:no danger of our getting more than our hands full. But only jook atit. Suppose when Hungary begins her tussle, the Russian should show his teeth and grab hold of her. . Then we sbould have to send overan army and ships \o belp drive him back. ‘Then suppose Poland should start up aud want to be. free—and she has as bloody a right to be free'as any. sation in the world—then we must. send.an army to take care of Poland, for the Russians would fight most awfully there. And there’s France too. You say “the Governgentjof France is on the side of the oppressors, and the nation of France is one of the oppressed nations.” Then, of course, it will be our next duty. to, send’ an army and put down the Goverament of France, and let the nation. go free., And then, be- sides the East lodies, and China, and Circas- sia, and lots of other places that the geography tells about, there’s a good many things that we should have to look afier nearer bome... When Fillibusters go to upset. Cuba, we. must. send our ships and armies to take care. of that.— And, then, io. Mexico and ;/Souwth America Ahere’s troubles all the time going | on,. thal would take about half a dozen of our armies to keep matiers straight here. Now, don’t you think, dear Governor, . there might be a leetle danger of oor getting our hands full? But, come what may, dear Gov. ernor, I shall remain your friend forever. MAJOR JACK DOWNING. SENSIBLE. The young ladies of Damariscotta, in the State of Maine, have recently formed them. selves into a society for mutual improvement and protection. Among the resolutions adopt- ed at a regular meeting, we find the following: “ That we will receive the attention of no * so-styled’ young gentlemen who has not learn- ed some business or engaged in some steady employment for a livelihood—for it is appre- hended that after the bird is caught it may starve in the cage. “ That we will promise marriage to no young man who is in the habit of tippling, lor we are assured his wife will come to want and bis children go barefoot. “ That we will marry no young man who is not a patron of his neighborhood paper, for we have not only strong evidence of his want of intelligence, but that be will prove too stingy to provide for his family, educate his children, or encourage institutions of learning in his vi- cinity.” The Moral Effect, of a Picture. M. Hazlitt bas said somewhere of the por- trait of a beactiful female with a noble coun. tenance, that it seems as if an unhandsome ac- tion would be impossible in its presence. Most men of any refinement of soul, must have felt the truth and force of this sentiment. And, therefore, we have ofien thought that the pic- ture of a boloved mother, or a devoted wife, hong up to the room where we spend our lei- sure hours, must constantly exert a mighty in- fluence upon the feeling and thought. Cowper’s picture of his mother was a living presence, whose speaking countenance and beaming eye appealed, as no living mortal could, tu his in- most soul, and stirred its profoundest depths.— But what is it that gives this power to the in- animate resemblances of loved and departed ones? Their virtues, their: moral graces and excellence, as remembered by the affectionate survivor. In these dwell the charm, the pow- er to stay the passions of the soul, and lure the heart to right and noble sentiments. ‘It may seem an odd thought, but we cannot help sug. gesting it to every female reader—to every sis- ter, wife, and mother—that it is a worthy am. bition for each of them to labor to be botlrnow and when dead that “picture in the’ bouse, before which vice shall stand abashed, ‘con- founded, and in whose presence every virtuous aod maanly heart shall glow with every honor. orable and loliy sentiment. “So five; that even your muté picture, when the original is in the grave, shall eloquently and irresistibly urge the love of goodness and truth upon the beholder.

Poisoning a whole School.—It now turns out to be a fact that the pupilsat the Uti- ca Female Seminary were poisdned ‘not long since by the cook of the institution\= widow, named Young who :took offence at some change in the hours of eating, and mixed tartar emetic with the food, which about forty of the pupils became violently sick, though none ate a safficietit quantity to cause death. The culprit bas left i. institution, and bas not been ar- rested. i Bis At Chapel Hill, (N. C.) according tothe American Almanae, there. were ‘but ‘thit- ty-nine clear days from June, 1850,to' May, 1851, the rest (326) being recorded as “clondy.” Phere is probably no other lo- cality in the Union, or in Europe, where there are so many cloudy days. “There were 194 cléar days, areutdingteadhe same Work, at'Green Lake, Wiseonsinjin 1850.

After all, Louis Napoleon, has proved himself to be a much smarter and braver man than the world believed. He cer. tainly check mated the Assembly in the political game they were playing, and re- mained master of the field. True he ob- tained the advantage by force, perjury and treachery. but if the maxim “that all is fair in politics,” be just, he is scarcely blameable. The thing reduced down, amounts to this, ratber than be imprisoned himself, he prefered caging some of his accusers. ‘hat was wisdom. if not, we should like to know where it can be found. The children of this world are wise. We can fancy the feelings of the discomfited generals and lenders when they were ta- ken out of their warm beds, and hurried off to prison.

Louis Napol- gon is President of France for ten years if ‘he lives so long, and they dont make him Bmperor in the mean time. There never wasa greater humbyg than the elec- tion which has just taken place. Of course _ The cattle people vote for him; there was po other cafdidate in the first place to _wetedor, no time for deliberation gr dis- gugsibn was allowed them, and the bayo- pets of the troops were tickling their ribs, - during the process.

It isan even chance, whether they make him Emperor or cut off bis head, perhaps they may do both. . That very fickleness of opinion-is qne reason why we should not like to live in France. You may be too confoundedlly popular gne day end hacked the next.— But suppose Lovis Napoleon, dies no mat- ter how, what-follows; why # scene of confusion, turmail, war and blood not of- ten excelled. Whois there to take his old clothes ; where is the Government of France and who are her rulers? Why nobody at all. The Assemply cant as- sume the power, it was kicked out of of. fice Jong ago, and had forfeited all respect before its sudden conclusion, Like a rod- derless ship the Empire will drift, the sport of the storm, over the tempestuoos waters, wreeking boman pappiness and general prosperity. Jt may bring up in anareby, it may drown the last vestige of liberty in military despotism ; but certainly it will be drunk with blood. Here we see the destiny of a nation identified with the life of a single man, and whether he triampbs or falls, the same lurid stain of blood.— However, if Lovis Napoleon loses his head, he can comfort hienectt with the reflection that others have ondergone the same pro- cess. It must be a disagreeable one, we should hate totry it. Jn the mean while the pleasing thought is left us, that while the French like mercurial nincompoops as they are, are chapping up each ather, and engaged in the whalesale business of blood letting, that its none of our affair at all events, we know better on this side, our skins are safe, unless indeed Kossuth turns us all crazy, and carries: ship load after ship load of the sons of liberty over to the relief of unfortunate and down trodden Hangary. FROM ‘THE SECRETARY OF M. KOSSUTH. Washington, Jan. 7, 1852. A disingenuous attempt has been made by a New York paper to connect Gov. Kossuth with the Democratischer Voelkerbund, and to render bim responsible for a paragraph in the pro- gramme of that paper relative to a question of American domestic policy. This has been done notwithstanding his repeated declarations that he would never, directly or indirectly, interfere in any domestic question of a foreign country. The fact that Mr. Gyurman was formely sub. editor of Kossuth’s journal, and subseqently ed. itor of an organ of his Government, is assumed without a title of evidence, in the face of this uvequivocal declaration, as a proof of the con. nexion of Gov Kossuth with the Democratischer Voelkerbund, and as warranting the assertion that ‘the openly avowed purpose of Messrs. Gyurman & Wutschel,” &c., “is undisguisedly sanctioned and concurred in by Kossuth,” &c. You are authorized to state that Governor Kossuth has no connexion whatever with that paper. The facts are, briefly, that Mr. Gyur- man applied for advice how best to occupy his time and serve the cause of bis country. To this Gov. Kossuth replied (as may be seen by his letter) to this effect: “ You are a distin. guisbed journalist ; follow your profession, and you will thereby obtain opportunities ol serving your country.” This counsel is Gov. Kossuth’s present con. nexion with Mr. Gyurman ; noother. As Gov Kossuth has no connexion, direct or indirect, with the paper in question, and no control over Mr. Gyurman, Gov. Kossuth cannot, on ac. count of his advice to that gentleman to serve bis country, be without gross injustice made responsible for Mr. Gyurman’s occupying him- self with a question of domestic American poli- cy, injuriously to the interests of his own coun. try, and in diametric opposition to Gov. Kos- suth’s decidedly expressed opinion as tothe du- ty and policy of non-interference in such ques- tions. - That the reader may the better understand to what the above Card refers, we append a brief article copied from a Baltimore paper, the derangement of the mails consequent upon the late inclement weather baving prevented the receipt of our New York papers for sume days ast; . From the Baltimore Clipper of Yesterday. How rr Worxs.—Two of the Hungarians that came to this country in the steamship Mis. sissippi are about starting a newspaper in New York to be devoted, first, to the freedom of Hun. gary, and secondly to the locel affairs of the U- nited States. The prospectus is published in | the papers of that city, and looks very much as if the Abolition faction had a hand in its draw. Mg up. The editors who sign themselves A. Gyurman and F, Wutschel, in speaking of that pari of their journal which will be devoted to the Dajied States, say : The following are the pending questions of the present policy in reference to which we will give our couree and platiorm : 1. The slavery question. With regard to it we consider the compromise no settled solution but @ provisional Jaw, for the abrogation of which, at least so far as the extradition of slaves is concerned, we will employ all the means which a public organ can command. 2.

The letter closes with an assurance from the writer tbat he would guard his treasure safe until bis return to the United States, which would be in April or May next. Leap Year.—A ray of light and hope has burst upon us, poor, benighted and unfortunate sinner that we are. It bas made its way even into the Penetralia— the most bidilen recesses of our caput.— We have waked to the deligbful concious- ness that 1852 is divisible by 4, without leaving a remainder; and so, according to the earlier traditions of our scholastic lore, this year of our Lord, upon which we have just entered, is neither more nor less than Leap Year. Think of that, ye for- ty-nine and thirty-six year old bachelors of the Herald and Goldsboro’ Patriot.— Think of it and tremble, for it is even so. Straighten up your shirt collars aod put on your purties, and who knows? That is the question; who knows what fair damsel may pay her devours to you, and lead you trembling and blushing to the “bymenial halter.” We wish we were an antiquarian, then would we talk learnedly upon the origin of the idea that on this year the ladies bave the privilege of proposing, and of course, no gentleman, being a gentleman, can refuse. Such, however, is the tradi- tion, and as we find it so we accept it, per- fectly secure in our own innocence and other uncomfortable atiributes. At any rate, it is certain that February has an extra day, and that people biring niggers ought to pay fifty cents additional on that account, and all our daily subscribers ought to hand us in two cents. Q. E. D. Therefore fork over the two cents. Wil. Journal. bce A company of twenty young men and \weuly negroes, from Burke and Catawha, N. C., passed {hrough here last Saturday en roule for California. ‘There were some hardy look. ing fellows among them, who seemed bent to have their share of the guld dust, if bard work or hard knocks could bring it. We wish them good luck and a speedy return to their friends. The following list of their names has been kindly given us by a friend:—R. C. Perkins and four servants ; Thos. Walker and three do. T. J. Corpening and one do.; W. A. Wallace and one do.; T. Avery and one do., J. Keller and one do.; Patton Pearson and three servants of R. C.

Isaac Wuisennunt, Munroe Wess, Danuex Hicks, Joas Hicks and three servants of Jas. C. Smirn’s.— The Remedy. A DAILY MAIL WEST OF RALEIGH. We learn that there are petitions in cir- culation for a daily mail from Raleigh to Greensboro’ and Salisbury. We have not seen one of these papers, and of course have bad no opportunity of appending our names; we therefore, take occasion to say here what we think and desire in the premises. We think,and have long thought that a daily mail is due to the up country by the General Government; and the fail- ure to establish one, heretofore, is a gross neglect which would not have been per- mitted in any other State. The inhabi- tants of the remotest territories, and the most insignificant States, have mail facil- ities vastly superior to those of a majority of the citizens of North-Carolina ; and this simply for the want of a disposition in our people to demand and insits on their rights. or an age like the present, people sit- uated, with regard to the mails, like the North-Carolinjans, labor under great dis- our politicians to seg to it that these dis- advantages are remoyed ag speedily as possible. Messers. Bland & Dunn, who are the contractors on the ronte fram Ral- eigh west, propose, we pnderstand, to make shorter time on thei line; and we doubt not but they will be able to comply ion which they may given entire satisfaction to all new, borses all spirited a ber and attentive tp their business.

It will be seen that the above ticket, if elected, will secure an entirely new'Board. This circumstance cannot be regarded with indifference by those who failed of benefits under the management of the present one, and on that ‘account will be received with more or less satisfaction by some. In glancing over the list, we find the names of several young men who have never served in the capacity of Com- missiozer ; but who it is wise and proper to place in the harness in order that they may learn. Associated with them, we also notice the names of several old and experienced citizens, well qualified to en- counter whatever responsibility the office may impose upon them. To the latter we have nothing to say; but to the for- mer, we have a word: In view of your election, which is atleast problematic, and our own retirement to obscurity, which is certain, (for we see ourself left out the above ticket,) in the language of an old and respected citizen of the county under similar circumstances, but now no more, we assure you that nothing affords us more pleasure in retiring from office, than the reflection that you will have an op- portunity to ‘ improve yourselves.” That is all we bave tosay. If any of our con- temporaries of the present board have a similar speech to make you;—and we know, if they were to address you at all, they would do so in similar terms— we will cheerfully give place to their speeches. (1 The election takes place, at the Courthouse, on Monday the 26th of this month, January; the polls will be closed at 4 o'clock, p. m. Our columns are free to any who may wish to announce another ticket. DAILY MAIL. We are pleased to find that an effort is now being made by the citizens of Raleigh, Greensboro’ and this place, to procure the establishment ofa daily mail from Raleigh, Westward. We were called on last week, to subscribe to a petition for this purpose. The paper was then numerous- ly signed. The great need of additional mail facilities, and the growing impor- tance of this section of the State, are facts so well known and felt that we presume there is not a man in this whole region who would not most earnestly join in 4 petition at once so reasonable in itself, and, if granted, so beneficial toall. Messrs. Bland & Dunn ‘have exhibited such a de- gree of business talent and enterprise, as to leave no room for doubting, that, should the new arrangement be made, there will be nothing lacking on their part. Important Rail Road Proceedings.—We learn that several measures of considera- ble importance engaged the attention of the directors of the North Carolina Rail Company, at their late meeting in Hills- boro’. With the view of hastening the work to its completion. a resolution was passed offering to receive work whenev- er the contractors shal] finish it; and so- liciting the contractors on that part of the road between this place and Charlotte to make an effort for the completion of their Contracts within the present year. Ar- rangements were also entered into for pro- curing two Locomotives, and a part of the iron, to be delivered at Wilmington and Charleston. We also learn that 40 per cent of the Stock wil be required about the Ist of July. Salisbury §- Taylorsville Plank Road.— Several companies are now at work.on this road. Mr. Boyd and Mr. Steel, both of Alexander county, have each a large number of hands at work, and, we learn, are making good progress, though they have but fairly commenced. Dr. John Foard. has also been at work. on his con- tract for several days past; and there may be others of whom we have not heard. We are pleased to have it to say, that the President expects to have from thirteen tp fifteen miles of the Road com- pleted by the close of the present year.

The great work goes on bravely... re Messrs. Calvin Brown, Foard & Co., E. R. Harris, and Cannon & Co., have been | hard at work for several months, and Messts. Coleman and Gibson, and C.N. White & Co., are now beginsing to raise ‘a pretty considerable dust. By the bye, this Rail Road or something else, is bringing quite a number of stran- gers through our town—every day almost, we see some one, whose face is new to us, Concord Mercury. The London Morning Chronicle, alluding to recent events in France, remarks that “ per- haps the truest and at the same time the most hopeful aspect of the politics of France at this moment is the melancholy homage which that great country is offering to the cause of order, For the sake of peace she consents to the most flagrant violation of right; she prefers order, at almost any price. to the uneasy excitement of hopes and fears ; and she seems content to post. pone indefinitely the course of rational pro- gress and of moral and social reform to the ter- rible exigencies of the hour. We can only hope that she will, at no distant date, reap the ‘re- ward of a submissive forbearance which is with- out historied! paralle] ; and that the man whom ciréumstances have invested with a despotic control over her fortunes will—now that he bas conquered in the internecine duel with his late rivals and assailants—lose no time in re-estab. lishing the empire of law, and in giving breath: ing space to the hopes and aspirations of free- dom. But looking merely at the facts of the moment, what a price it is which, as it seems all classes in France are content to pay fora brief repose—for the present stern empathic pause between the fever of the past and the fi- nal rallying, or coma, whichever it shall turn out to be, of the patient—patient in every sense. Louis Napoleon.— Fears of Assassination.— A letter from Paris by the Africa says : “A curious report is in circulation, which I shall mention, without guaranteeing its au- thenticity. It is said that the President of the Republic, in the apprehension of an attempt be. ing made upon his life, has made a will, in which he recommends Prince Louis Lucien Bo- naparte, one of the sons of Lucien Bonaparte, and lately a member of the Legislative assem- bly, as his successor. He declares in his will that he places the fate of France and of his fam. ily under the guardianship of the army, and ap. points the following five officers the executors of his will, namely—Marshal Excelmans, Gener. al d’Hilliers, General de St Arnaud, General Magnau, and General Reguet, his aid.de.camp. It is certainly rather early for Louis Napole. on to attempt to dispose of France as if it were his inheritance.” ° BANK DEFALCATION—ARREST OF THE TELLER. We regrei to learn that Sam’! W. Mor- gan, Teller of the Exchange Bank in this city, has proved a defaulter to the amount of 10.000. The defalcation was ascer- tained from the voluntary confession of the Teller who, on Friday afternoon, summon. ed the Directory and informed them of the fact. He then made a deed of trust on property to the amount of about 8 or $9,000 to protect the securities on his offi- cial bond, and on the same evening, with his family, left the city for the residence of his father in law in Greensville. On Saturday a police officer was despached in pursuit of him, and he was arrested, brought pack to Petersburg early on Mon- day morning, and lodged in jail. The Teller, in bis confession to the Directory, admitted that the defalcation had been going on for several years, and explained the devices to which he had resorted to escape detection at the quarterly exami- nation of the money on band. He was examined before the Mayor on yesterday and fully committed. Petersburg Intelligencer. N. York Tired of Paying the Hungarian Bills—New York, Jan. 5th.—The city authorities have notified the Hungarians at the Irving House that they will not pay their bills after to morrow. It has already cost the New York cor- poration $17,000 for the entertainment of these gentlemen, and that in a rather lux- urions way. NEW YORK LEGISLATURE. The Legislature of the State of New York met at Albany on Tuesday. The Senate was organized by the election of Democratic officers and the House by the election of Whig officers by four majority. ’ The annval message of Governor Hunt was delivered, of which we have a telegraphic re. port, as follows: : He speaks of the progress of the State and the valuation of property as baving increased to over a billion of dollars ; He advocates the enlargement of the Canal by creating a State debt of $21,500,000, which can be discharged by a sinking fund in seven. teen years. He states that seventees. persons had been found guilty of murder and three of arson during the year, and six had been executed. He speaks, also, of the corrupt practices at elections, and the frequency of railroad acci- dents. . He then argues in favor of a ch in the tariff, and on the slavery question Prien mutual forbearance and & discontinuance of ag- ilation. He concludes by speaking in favor of the Col. onigation Society, and declares he i : didate for We eleven: Pees TAP B.S Pe ; them to read | stories usually fouod.in mewepape 7 i nde & For the Watchmay. gg the head of @ family 10 give his Beoglish education, at lean, : ad and write well, case, is no excuse, as every yoga hes benefits.of the own deficiency in learning ; all, why aur children sbovld nx 4° soos sh Ste‘many persons nl lived and Diy heir own. j ray their. own atthe vos amon ih g es May mpi) “4, iy D Wantof € mental a "& supplied i : © take, a religious, and one political ne Faia olten Observed thé very striking dissiqj. between the children of those who take and. the children.of those whe de ea former, pleased with the many interesting A rs, : minds with much useful hnowledge, cust sides acquire a taste for reading, and 4 | for books ; while the latter, totally ignongia what is transpiring in the world, maniley , . . fondness for books or reading, and spend they leisure hours, either in idleness or vain meut.

Ha, ba, ha! they found me at last ; They invited me forth at length ; And I to my throne with a thander Nast And iat in my iron strength! Oh! then Ye saw a wondrous change o | On the earth and ocean wide, Where now my fiery armies range, Nor wait for wind or tide.

I carry the wealth and the lord of wealth, The thoaghts of the god-like mind ; The wind lags after my flying forth, The lightning is left behind.

FRUIT CULTURE FOR ‘THE SQUTH ( Continued.) PLUMS. There are many varieties of native Plums in this country, but the finer varieties of cultivated Plums were introduced from the South of Europe. The Plum, like the Peach, may be propogaied from seeds or by gralts—seeds where new varieties are wanted, and gralts where an old established kind is to be propo. gated. Graft below the ground, as direcied fur the Appie, in roots ofthe Plum, Peach, or Slve; wf One year’s growth; and il gralted from a healthy fruit bearing tree, the graft will produce fruit the third year. ‘The plum tree will grow ia almost any soil, and is very luxuriant in @ light sandy soil; but to produce fruit it must huve a stiff heavy slay, or a loam with a clay sub-soil. The great enemy ot the fruit is the Curculio, or Plum weevil. This is a brown bug or beetle, about the size of a pea bug, which makes its appearance about the time the fruit is forming in the bloom, ‘The bug has a proboscis, and makee a puncture in the young truit in the form of a crescent ; in this he de. posits an egg, the wound soon heals, the egy hatches out a worm, and the worm eats inward. ly wutil it reaches the kernel, whea the fruit ps; he now eats his way out. burrows in the groand, where he goes through a chrysalis state, and the next spring comes ont a Curcu. lio, ready for his work of destruction again. is observed that where soils are very etff, the ‘worm cannot force his way in, and consequently perishes; for thie reason, stiff clay suils are absolutely necessary for the perfection of the fiuit. Paving around the tree has proved of great service, but whether it is the instinct of the Curculio which teaches it to shun those trees where there is ne chance of propogating iteell, or whether it is the fact of so many of the worms perishing on the pavement, has not yer beendetermined. Wherever the plum orchard is, it should be a hard troden yard, with hogs, geese andviberpouliry ranging through it. The Curculie seems to be the natural enemy of all ‘the thin skin fruits, and is a very shy and timid insect, droppiug to the Rround at the least jar ofthe tree. | have tried many experimenis to get clear of him, but to no purpose, Salt has been recommended. | have found salt a fine invigorator of the Plum tree, bat no prevenuta. - the Curculio. ‘There are localities us. wheretbe Plum flourishes and yields Crops, but mpeg the aoil js ff clay. ‘hg other s which the Plum is subject oflh.be Northern States we. are exempt f i our only enemy is:the.Curculia, ned bie name ics Legion .

The grape is sometimes affecied with mildew or rot. This is caused by freequent changes in the weather, and will hardly ever occur, if the ground around the roots is properly mulch. ed; for whatever changes may take place in the atmosphere, there is always an even tem. perature around the roois, which gives health 'o the fruit, ‘The Scupperaoug, a ative white rape of North Carolina, is betier adapted to Southern culture than any other grape, growing in any kind of soil and almost any situation ; it however does not strike freely from cuttings, but must be layered or grafied ; itis fully equal as a table, and superior as awine grape, to any Rrape that [ am acquainted with ; it is superior lor arbors and trellis work, growing rapidly and holding, its loliage a loug time. ‘There are but few diseases that the grape is subject to here, The Aphis, or ant cow, isa troublesome in. sect, not so much from the actual damage that tbey do, as the unsightly appearance they give the ends of the vines. A sprinkling ut Scotch snuff, when the dew is on the leaf, will sovn ex. terminate them. FIG. This, like the grape, is one of the oldest fruits cultivated, It probably originated in the Gar. den of Eden, and is the only fruit that has come down to us unimproved, from that Prince and Father of Horticulturists, Adam himself. We find no account of-aa improvement iu its culture but Figs six thousand years ago, were probably the same as Figs of to day. The Fig is easily propogated, by cuttings, layers, or dividing tLe roots, and will geow in ahnost any soil, but the fruit is of superior flavor when grewn ona rich sandy loam. tis liable to be winter-killed in this section and should therefore be planted in an open exposure, where it may get all of the cold to retard its early budding. It is rarely filled in the winter, until the sap has commenc. ed rising. It is well to prune the bush, so as to form a tree, as it is better able to bear the cold of winter. A barren Fig may sometimes he made productive, by pruning the routs.— When a winter is very severe, a Fig tree may be protected from the cold by applying a good coal of stable manure around the roots, Cover. ing the ground around the tree, about six inches deep.

VIRGINIA FARMING, farm seven os eight miles James river, which was in of others in that State; whose owners have a- bandoned them as worthless.’ or rather so worn out and unproductive as not to be worth cullti. vating. For this reason, thousands have emi. grated from Virginia to gewer and more fertile lands in some of the Western States, for the sole reason that they could no longer support their families and sérvants opon @ soil which produced oid pines and broom straw, and biit little else... And why? Because it had been scratched, not ploughed, year afier year, until the surface exhaustedof fertility; and howeve great the amount of richness benéath, it was to the owner a hidden mine ; for he had a deep. rooted prejudice against deep rooting his plows tato the earth—“ "i would ruin the land;” shough if practiced, it certainly could not have done so more effectually than the ruinous sysiem which he has pursued to ruin himsell and land too. Here, now, within a stone’s throw of the rich wheat and clover fields of Gen. Peyton, can be seen the same kind of land as his, cov. ered. with that worthless produci—ihe most worthless scrubby pines and broom straw— contrasting with his fields like a desert wasie by the side of a garden of fruits and flowers. By what magic has he wrought this change? Not alone by the expenditure of capital for lime, plaster, bone dust, guano, or other fertil- izers, but because he has “ Plowed deep while sluggards sicep, Preducing corn to sell and keep.” He has procured the best plows that could be obtained, and used them with four horses to & turning plow, followed hy three more, sub. soiling every furrow ip the etiff boom land a foot and a half deep. This alone has the ef. fect to resiore the fertility to a degree that will treble the crops. He has every prospect now of twenty bushels of wheat to the acre, and counts confidently on ten barrels (fifiy busbele) of corn. Hie method of preparing land for corn is so much in contrast with theirs, who plant first and sow the land afterwards, that we will state it: Iu the first place, the land was plowed and subsoiled last fall, eighteen inches deep. This spring it was well plowed with two horses, and now, April 25ib, is being planted alier the following preparation; A coul- ter—which is somewhat of the nature of a smal) subsoil plow—is run twelve inches deep, twice in a row, and all the ground loosened up by an iron-tooth harrow ; and the coro covered hy a double furrow of the coulter, and then all the clods are carefully raked off by smal! irun tuoth rakes, which are far superior in every respect to hoes for that purpose. The ease with which such land is tended through the sea- son would surprise some of those who never plow till after the corn is up, when they break out the middle—it it can be called breaking— by a little scracthing of a shovelplow drawn by & poor : Such examples as Gen.. Peyton and others are setting in Virginia are causing a great rev- olution inthat State. Old field lands are bought often at greatly advanced prices ; and people are beginning to find it is more profitable to improve their own tarms than it is to run off in pursuit of new ones. ‘Truly the spirit of im- provement is abroad ; whd shall limit its vast advantages to the whole country ? SINGULAR MODE OF COURTSHIP. The Rev. Dr. L——, an eminent Scotch divine, and professor of theology, was re- markable for absence of mind, and indif- ference to worldly affairs. His mind, wrapt up in lofty contemplations, could seldom stoop to the ordinary business of life, and when at any time he did attend to secular affairs, he generally went about them in a way unlike any body else, as, the history of his courtship will show.— He was greatly beloved by his elders and congregation, was full of simplicity and sincerity, and entirely anacquainted with the etiquette of the world. Living the soli- tary, comfortless life of a bachelor, his el- ders gave him frequent hints that his do- mestic happiness would be much increas- ed by his taking to himself a _ wife, and pointed out several young ladies io bis congregation, any of whom might be a fit match or companion for him. The elders, finding all the hints, had no effect in rousing the doctor to the using of the means, preliminary to catering into a matrimonial alliance, at last concluded to wait apon him, aod stie him upto the per- the advantages of marriage—its ba ppiness —spoke of it as a divine institution, and as affording all the enjoyments of sense and, in short, all the sweets of domestic life. ‘Phe dostor approved of all they said, and a for his past neglect of déty, on aécount of many difficult pas- sages of Scripture he had of late been at- tending to, and promised to look after it, “the first convenient season.” The elders, however, were not to pe’put off any lon- ger ; they insisted'on the doctor at once making -use of the means, and este from him a promise that, on Monday af- ——— eee ternoon, he would straightway visit the General Peyton, of Richinond, ‘purchased a t above the wily, on the same. condition as thousands formance of his duty. They urged oo bim | they who were the most tespectable in the doc- rite + gee To solve any diffieult passage in the book of Genesis—reconeile apparent discrepancies, clear up a knotty text, would have been ai ensy task to the doctor, compared, with storming the wid. ows ptemises. But to the raising of the siege the doctor must go, and, with great gravity and simplicity. gentle reader, you can imagine you see bim commencing the work, ; Alter the usual.salatations were over, he said to Mrs. W-———n, “my. sessions have of late been.advising me to take a wife, and recommended me to call upon you ; and as you bave three five daugh- ters, I would like to say a word to the el- dest, if you have no objection.” Miss W 72 enters, and the doctor, with his, characteristic simplicity said to her, “my sessions have been advising me to take a wife, aod recom ed me to. call upon you. The young lady who had seen some easily; she laughed heartily at the doctor’s abraptness ; hinted to him that in making a sermon, was it not necessaty to say something first to introduce the subject properly belore he entered fully upon it ; and as for her part, she was determined not to surrender her liberty at a moment’s warning—* the honor of her sex was con- cerned in her standingout.” This was all a waste of time to the doctor, and he re- quested to see her sister. Miss E. W——n then entered, and to save time the doctor says, “ my sessions have been advising me to take a wife, and I had been speaking to your sister, who has just gone out at the door, and as she is not inclined that way, what would you think of being Mrs. L——n ?” “Oh! yoo tor, I don’t know; it is rather a serious qaestion. Marriage; you know; binds one for life, and it should not be rashly entered into. I would not consent without taking time to deliberate upotr Tt. “My time,” says the Doctor, “is so much occopied, and as my session has said so moch ‘to me on the business that] must finish it to day, if 1 can; so you had best tell your moth- er to send in your youngest sjster to speak to me.” In a moment cogyes the houest, lively Miss Mary W——n “Come away my cbild, it is getting on in the afternoon, and | mast get home to my studdies. | have been speaking to botb of your sisters on a little business, and they have deelin- ed. lIamaman of few words; and with- out misspending precious time what would you think of being made Mrs. L n 7” ~ Indeed, | always thought a good deal of you, Doctor; and if my mother does not say against it, ] have no objections.” The Doctor left Miss Mary in a few minutes, enjoining ber to fix the day, for any would suit him; but to send him up word the day before. The doctor was scarcely home before a keen dispute arose in the family, among the three young ladies, all claiming the doctor. The eldest one said the offer was first made to her and sbe did not positively refuse. ‘The second declared that she wished only a little time to think upon it ; and the younger insisted that it was com- pletely with her. The mother of the young ladies was in such difficolty with her daughters, that she was obliged to call up- on the doctor himself to settle the dispute. She called, and the reverend doctor, in his characteristic way said, “my dear Mrs. Ww n, lam very fond of peace in fam- ilies; it is all the same thing to me, whicb of them and just settle it among yourselves, send me up word.” The doctor was mar- ried to the youngest, and one of his sons is at this day a respectable clergyman, in the land of the mountain and the flood.—St. Louis Bulletin. Benefit of Apprenticeship-—T here is an important feature in the regulation of @ master-mechanic, which is frightfol to some kind parent's heart, and that is the five toseven years’ apprenticeship the boy who learns a trade must submit to. Bat it is an excellent discipline. It takes the lad at a critical peried of life—when he perhaps has‘a disposition averse to steady employ ment—when he is inclined to‘roam at large, amid the contaminating infleer- ces about him—and puts bim to a steady round of daties—severe, at first, but soon becoming from habit agreeable ; and, when bis minority expires, his steady hab- its and industry are established, and’ he comes forth a man, the master of a trade, of fixed principles, and good habits, a bless- ing tobimself and the commonity ; or at least this ought to be the result of an ap- preaticeship where both master and ap- prentice mutually discharge their duty to each other. Mf parents would but look at it aright, -would declare that, had they many sons, they should learn trades. Contrast the youth just alladed to with bim who, baving a horror of an apprenticeship, is allowed to run at large. At the most crit- ical period of life for forming habits; be is forming those that ‘are the reverse of industry. He is not fitting himself t0'be @ man, but wearing away his boyhood in idleness. The partial parent sees this, yet bas not fortitude to avert it. At twen- ty-one years of age the first-named fad comes out'a good mechanic; it is won- derfal if the other has not fastened habits upow him that will be his ruin, if be is not ruined already. More than one excellent thirty summers, was not to be éaughi so | ftw trdt beta .noits Lom yr half dozen years’ he is in- debted tor the habits of industry. and so- briety be! bas obtained. That, when be was put to a trade, he was on a pivot, as it were. Had it not been for-the firmness of his parents, he likely would bate been a ruined lad ere bis minority expired. — This was the torning point... . - COAL MINES:OF ENGLAND AND AMERICA. i The following article from the Galena (lil.) Observer, is vety interesting ; the av- thor writes correctly, and is evidently ac- quainted with the mining operations and laws of England :— “Phe depth at, which our Llingis coal is dug is but a pin scratch on the globe, compared with the diggings in the English coal mines. One shaft, near Sunderland, is perhaps the deepest in the world. The coal was first found one thotisand six hun- dred feet below the surfacé, ard it is now worked at one thousand seven hundred, and one thousand eight hundred feet !|— These English mines employ large bodies of workmen. In one there are one bun- dred and thirty:six men and eighty-five boys below ground, engaged in fourteen different kinds of labor; and one hundred and twelve men and twenty-eight boys above ground, in seventeen occupations, and three hundred and sixty-one workmen inall. The names of the classes of work- men are singular; under- viewers, banks- men, drivers, hewers, putters, headsmen, balf-marrows, foals,. stoppers,, or door- keepers, &c. The hewersare the actual miners of the coal receive. about twenty shillings a week, working six hoors aday, with coal and house'rent free. Children under eight years‘of-age ‘are now excilud- ed by law, and the’ barbarous Harnessing of females to the coal carts in the’ pits is prevented. Our Illinois diggings are cont- paratively dry. The Engtish mines often pump one thousand gallons a 'minote, ‘or six thousand tons a day ; one near Dur- ham pumped twenty six thousand seven hundred tons of water per diem ! use of steam power in our coal mining is yet tocome. _ In the north of England, en- gines of two hundred and fifty horse pow- er are in common use at the pumps, At Perey Maine, near Newcasile, engines of five bandred and sixty-six horse power are in operation, four hundred and forty, horse power being employed in pumping alone. But little capital is employed in the busi- ness here. It is estimated the cost of a first class English colliery, including the sbaft, machinery, houses, wagons, &c. &c. is from £40,000 to £150,000. The deep- est coal is the best. As our Illinois beds are worked deeper, they will furnish an article as good, and ere long better than the Pennsylvania coal. Adjoining the great unworked colliery, which stretches across our State from. central Iowa to northern Kentucky, manufactoring cities will soon arise as busy as Pitisburg. per- haps smoky. And coal, more and more valuable for manufacturing purposes, for solidity, density, heat-giving, &c., will be brought op as the progress of our north- western manufacturing towns make a de- mand for it. . NUTMEGS INDIGENOUS TO CALI- FORNIA. One day last May, says the Alta Cali- fornian, we were presented with a very fine specimen of nutmeg by one of the delegates to the Whig Convention, who assured us very complacently that it was a native of California, We as compla- cently received it, supposing it was an as- surance based upon Mrs. Opie’s license, when the gentleman reiterated the fact, and confirmed it with the information that his brother had gathered a psumber of them from some nutmeg bushes that were growing a few miles from Placerville.— Another gentleman who was standing by deelared that be had seen many of them, and that great crops could be gathered with little difficulty in the fall season.— We concluded that we would make the matter a subject of a paragrapb upon our return, bat a fear of being badly “ sold” induced us to wait for farther evidence. Some time after, Col. Forman assured us that he bad seen some that were plucked during the formative stage of the spice, whilst the nugmeg was in a pulpy con- dition. We still hesitated to announce the. aromatic as indigenous to California but inasmuch as we bave since been in- formed by Gov. Bigler that be saw a large tity of them growing last summer, and that he bad sent for some of thew for special caltivation, we deem it very safe to announce it as a new resource of Cali- fornia.

NORTH CAROLINA? RAIL ROAD. A meeting of the Directors of the North Car. olind Rail Road’ was held in this place’ on Thureday the 8ih ingtant, and having completed the business beforé them, adjourned on F ey. By the kindness of a friend ‘we have been put in possession of the most interesting portion of their proceedings. From ‘information elicited’ at the meeting, it appears that the whole line bas been put under contract: that many of thé contractors ‘have made good progress in the work, and that all of them are preparing to proceed with much ‘pir. it and vigor to thé completion of their contracts. Though no regular teturne -were ‘made’ of the forces engaged on the line; ‘yet it was ascer. tained that on that’ portion of it which lies be. tween the Yadkin and Charlotte, (some forty miles,) there are 631 men and above 200 boys now at work ; and that portion of ibe,road, it is with much ¢ fideiice expécted, will'be graded, if not entirely finished, during the présent year. ‘Much important business. wae transacted by the Board. Among other things, the President was authorized to cotitract for iron t6 lay on the Youd from one end to thé other, éxeept ‘the’ first division, the iron for whichvis to. bé/ fernished by the contractors for building that part of the The | road ;| and the Chief Engineer. was authorized have been,more.improved thas. this,.as PS | will acknowledge, who haye read Semen to ¢ontract for two Lacomojites, of twenty tc Weight each, and‘a suitable number Of Cara’ for the eastern end of the road, to be it readiheds for transporting materials'at the earliest period it may be found necessary. - A change in the location’ of the road near Waynesborough was authorized, forthe purpose of avoiding a piece of low land so subject. to overflow as to render trestle work necessary, By this change the main stem of the road, iv- stead of passing through Waynesborough, pass- es by that place as the distance of, say, 1600 feet, but will connect with the town and steam. boat navigation on the Neuse by means of a turn-out. It is understood to be the policy of the board to call in the subscription money very rapidty— ten per cent is ordered to be paid in April next, and ten per cent in June. This course is nec: essary for prompt payment to contractors, and is Just to individua) stockholders; for the soon- er fifty per cent shall have been paid in by them, the sooner the State will begin to par: \icipate in the berthea of carrying forward the work, A good deal of conversation was had on the subject of Engineers to supply the vacancies oc- casioned by the resignation of Mr. J. C. Me- Rae and Mr. Prevost. This business is in the hands of the Chief Engineer, and it is under- stood that he expects Mr. ‘Theodore Garnet, now engagad on a Rai! Road ‘in Kentucky, to supply the place of Mr. McRae, and is in ecor- respondence with other suitable persons for sup- plying the other vacancy. In the financial department it is found that the five per cent, paid in at (he time of subscrip- tion, is just now about being exhausted ; and consequently that the location of the read, pay- ment of the officers, and contingent expenses, have not exceeded 50,000 dollars. There is scarcely anotber instance of so small an expen. diture on a work of such magnitude.— Hilisbor. ough Recorder. WALUE OF LABOR. Look at the translorming power of labor!

Clay declared that no greater calamity could be- fall this Government ‘than the doctrines of in- fore, earnestly deprecated any such policy.— The vital principle of shis country, be said, rest- ed. upon its Republican character, and jin, its practice of confining is. action to ite,own du- ties,.

M. Kossuth did not combat Mr. Clay’s posi. tion. He confined himself to eommenting on the condition of Hungary, and the’ situation of France—which he believed would provoke civ- il war, and perhaps a general revolution. At parting, Mr. Clay'rbse and bade Kossuth farewell, forever, with much emotion—wisbing bim God speed, to his effurts for Hungarian in- dependence. M. Kossuth said that he sbould pray God daily, for Mr, Clay’s restoration to healih,— Both were deeply mored. Qaly four persons were present. Mr, Clay will yet speak of weile his senti- menis on the subject of intervention, The effort to-day will probably retard him somewhat byt he has otherwise rather gained during the last few days.

Clay, was most affecting. _ Clay stood erect and said, “* A dying man 1 oppose your doctrine of intervention.” MOVEMENTS OFM. KOSSUTH. The Washington Correspondent of the New York Journal of Commerce, under date of January 8, gives the following concerning the. movemeats. and calcula- tions of M. Kossuth : “On Monday Kossuth is to be at An- napolis; on Tuesday and Wednesday at Harrisburg ; and on Friday and Saturday at Pittsburg. “He expects much from Pennsylvania, and has been led to doso by men of ex- perience and influence in that State. Jadge Bayly held a conversation with him at Kossuth’s request on the subject of his objects in this country, and told him more forcibly than any others had done that he could never succeed in those ob- jects. ‘Kossuth wished to know his rea- sons for his declaration in the House that nine-tenths of the American people were utterly averse to intervention in foreign affairs, directly or indirectly, now or at any time. Mr. Bayly give bim substan- tial reasons, and especially of a political nature, for his opinion, and also the strong- acquaintance with public sentiment of the fact. “Still, however, Kossuth labors under the delusion that the mass of the Ameri- can people are with him. He says that he is aware that the present Administra- tion and the present Congress are oppos- ed to his views; but he has been led to be- lieve by demagogues in New York, Phila- delphia, and. Baltimore that the people will every where declare in favor of his | views and objects.” The Washington Correspondent of the | New York “ Express,” under the same | date, has the following : “ All the Kossuth demonstration here a- mong the public men is utter beartless- ness, There is nothing serious in it from beginning to end. The Presidefit is about suth the plain truth, face to face. The tables are injurious to the eyes of an- dmals.

It is certain that the Hungarians who came over with Kossuth are in a suffering condition. lt is said that they are willing to work, and that ané of them, who isia Magyar noble of high rank, boasts that he earns,ip a hatter’s shop, 27 cents a week more than will pay bis board. As thé money raised to promote a revolition in Hungary cannot be appropriated to that foolish purpose especially since the movement of Napo- Jeon, it has been suggested that leave be obtain- ed of the donors to apply it to the relief of the suffering exiles. A very good suggestion—as it is now koown that relief is wanted to prevent death by starvation. What a comment this is pon the uproarous enthusiam of the hour— where are the Lipsy ‘patriots ;’ where the sober clergy? ‘These have made Koseuth the God of their idolatry, while the sharers in his pains and perils are left to starve. For our own part we have just as much faith in the patriotic sta- mioa of these brawlers and speech-makers as we have fu their goodness of heart and charity —of whi¢h we have now an illustration. Wil. Commercial The strong feeling Jately exbibited in the mining districts, of Calitornia in favor of intro- ducing slave labor into that portion of our ler- ritory on the Pacific, has, we perceive, had its effect on many citizens on the Atlantic coast who, well aware of the innumerable advanta- ges that would accroe to them were they per- mitted to vnftty that particular description of property in the gold regione, are daily making arrangements for the transportation of them selves and slaves to that section of our posses- sions; and that fine steans ship the Jsqbel, has on several cceasions had on board some pag- dengers with; their. servants en roule for the Pacific... On her last trip, she took out a large number, amongst. whom, as we learn [rom the Yorkville Remedy, were twenly young men with as mauy negroes, from Burke and Cataw. ba counties, North Carolina—some, says the Remedy, hardy looking fetlaws, who seemed bent to have their share of of the golld’ dust,’ it hard work or bard knocks cao bring it. We understand, likewise, ‘that several ofier patties from North Carolina, are abouf starting with theiralaves, and that the agemt in this City; for the Isabel, has several applications for passage, and we have little doubt their labors will be attended with sach success as to induce a very large emigration from the slave-holding States, during the next year, as from: all ac. counts there are there certain seasons, as in the Southern States, when negro labor is alove available with safety to bealth in damp and marshy localities.—Charleston Courier. The stenm ship Pacific, Capt. Nye, of Col- ling’ line, has made twenty-two passages across the Atlantic—the longest of which occupied twelve years and eight hours, and the shortest nine days nineteen hours and thirty-four min. utes, doubtless the shortest passage, mean or true time, ever made. The average of all her stages is under eleven days. In fact, steam- ets of the Collins line bave done better this winter than ever before. Their passages late- ly have been astonishing. | ‘Crossing the At- lantie to the westward in the middie of winter in jess than eleven days is'wonderful. But we regret to leara from the New York Herald that the Company, however, find it a losing busi- ness. ‘he expenses are enormous, and the income from the government and passengers too smal] to. prevent serious loss; and unless, | says the Herald, “the government come for. ward and give this line substantial aid, it will be abandaned.

No one can bly explain ell about the mode in which vital warmth is kept up. In fact it is a mystery how the consump. tion of fuel gives out beat, but we know the fact that the measure of heat is in proportion to the amount of carbon consumed : so it is in the other case. But if the heat is all made in one spot in the body why is not that organ and the parts near it mech hotter than other parte 1 Just as the fire place or stove is hotter than her places in the room? Perhaps this would be the case if this was the only cause of heat ; but then we must remember how rapidly the blood cireulates through the heart and lungs, when all the blood in the body passes through them many times in an hoor; and the heart beats three times, during one respiration ; s0 that the heat does not accumulate there, but is carried off into the system where it is needed, by the blood. But to meet this supposed difficulty, some say the oxygen of the air does not all unite with the carbon to give out beat in the lungs ; but that it is taken up by the blood and carried into the circulation, and that it unites with the carbon to give out its heat in different parts of the system as it is wanted, ‘That is neareat the surface, to meet the chilling influence of the external air, and of the perspiration of the skin which carries off heat, and prevents too great an accamulation. For when the pores of the skin are closed we have a fever. In this latter case, where the carbon and oxyuen unite in the blood, of course the car- bonic acid is carried back to the lungs and breathed out. This idea does not differ from the one advanced in Turner’s Chemistry. page 7165, where he speaks of the oxygen receiv at the lungs carried by a of iron, to every part of the body: and the animal heat arising from the oxidation of the worn out tis- sues of tbe body that bave been replaced by the blood. The old matter then, that has perform- ed one office in the system, and is worn out, is yet goud for fael, and when burnt (or which is the same thing united to oxygen) helps to keep up the beat of the body. We have alluded to other supposed influen- ces inthis case. One of these is nervous in- fluence ; there is some similarity to a Galvanic Battery, which produces heat. And then again, the conversion of liquid blood into solid flesh and bone gives out beat. If you melt ice, which is solid water; when you have given it 140 degrees of heat, and have just melted it and no more; the water has the same temper- ature that the ice had when you begun. Then if you free must be given out before it can become solid. the same temperature always. in the phenomenon of anima! heat. CHEMIE. to expla NORTH STATE LODGE, No. 26, I. 0. 0. F.

One of the pleasantest books that we have read in many a day, is “Swallow Barn, or, a Sojourn in the Old Dominion.” It was published some twenty years ago, and the edition was long ago sold. Re- cently the author, John P. Kennedy, Esq., of Baltimore, bas published a new, re- vised, illustrated edition, which claims a second reading, and is welcomed as an old and valued acquaintance. The fol. lowing chapter, (prefatory toanadmirable story of a law suit,) will give, some idea of the life-like sketches of character with which the book abounds. We have an idea that the author. in this sketch, intends to hit off the somewhat celebraied inci- dent of the wind saw mill erected by Mr. Jefferson on one of the highest points of his famous Monticello. He is said to have selected that site because there the wind would always keep his mill a going, and it was not till the work was almost done his millwright asked him how he was going to get his logs up to the mill on the top of the mountain? “IJ never thought of that !” exclaimed he : “Stop the work.” CHAPTER XIV.

Stevens, of Santa Clara, Ahir. SALISBURY, N; ‘nearly’a mile: Just at that “period of ‘thelife of my grand ancle when’ his fever of ‘itiprove- ment had risen to its crisis, and when he was daily creating immense fortunes,—in his dreams,—it struck him, o looking at the gorge I have described, that. with very little trouble and expense, he might throw a stout breastwork {rom one side to the other, and have as fine a mill dam as any man could possibly desire. It.wasso simple an operation that be was surprised it had.never occurred to higp before, And then a flour mill might be a short distance below,—which would cost but a trifle,—and the inevitable result would be, that this unprofitable tract of waste land would thereupon become the most valaa- ble part of the estate. I am told that it belonged to the cbar- acter of my grand uncle to fall absolutely in love with my new project. He turned this one over in his mind for two or three nights; and it became as clear to bim as daylight, that he was to work wonders with bis mill. So, reflecting that he bad but sixteen irons in the fire at this time, he went to work without a moment's delay. The first thing he -did was to send an order to Bris- tol, (for he never had any opinion of the mechanics at home,) for a complete set of mill machinery; and the second, to put up a house of pine weather boards for the mill. Contemporaneously with this last operation, he set about the dam; and, in the course of one summer, he had a huge breastwork of logs thrown across the path of the modest, diminutive Apple-pie, which woald have terrified the stream even if it had been a giant. As soon as this stracture was comple- ted, the waters began to gather, My grand ancle camedown every day to look at them, and as he saw them gradually encroaching upon the different fittle mounds of the swamp, it is said he smiled, and remarked to his son Walter, whom he frequently took with him, “ that it was strange to see what results were produced by buman art.” And it is alsotold of him, that he made his way, during this rising of the waters, to a tree in the bed of the dam, to notch with his pen-knife a point to which the flood would ultimately tend; that, while stooping to take a level with the breast of the dam, he lost his balance, and was upset into a pool, formed by the encroaching element; and that, when Walter expected to see him in a passion at this mishap, he rose laughing, and ob- served, “that the bed of the dam was a damned bad bed ;” which is said to be the only pun that ever was made in the Haz- ard family, and therefore | have put on record. In a few days, with the help of one or two rains, the pool was completely full ; and, to the infinite pleasure of my grand uncle, a thin thread of water streamed over one corner of the dam,—the most beautiful liule cascade in the world ; it looked like a glossy streamer of delicate white ribbon. My grand uncle was de- lighted. “ There, my boy,” said he to Walter, “there is Tivoli for you! We shall have our mill a going in a week.” Sure enough. that day week, off went the mill. All the corn of the farm was brought down to this place; and, for an hour or two that morning, the will clat- tered away as if it had been filled with a thousand irdén shod devils, all dancing a Scotch reel. My grand uncle thumped his cane upon the floor with a look of tri- umph, whilst his eyes started from his | head, as he frequently exclaimed to the people about bim, “I told ydéu so; this comes of energy and foresight ; this shows the ase of a man’s faculties, my boy !” It was about an hour anda half, or per- haps two hoars—as my authority affirms, —after the commencement of this racket and clatter in the mill, that my grand un- | | great deal of money by way of bettering ‘his fortune. He was a gentleman who | n he settled him- | manifestly moving lazily, ) | upon the operation, were a little surprised to discover that the millstone began to slacken in its speed ; the bolting cloth was and the wheels were getting tired.

Well. not a thing was to be seen there but a large solitary bull-frog, squatted on his hams at the bottom of the race, aod look- ing wp at bis visiters, with the. mast pite- ous and imploring countenace, as much as to say, *l assure, you, gentlemen, | am exceedingly astonished at this extra- myself, which bas left naked and dry.”— ed upon their ia- how that came on. I can readily imagine how my grand uncle looked, when the scene bere first pre- It must have been a look of droll, waggish, solemn, Si- lent wonder, which, for the time, leaves it ‘& matter of perfect doubs, whether, anes tp SALI, “WS9 Vis Ci THURSDAY: SANUARY 29): 1052, Place, lig hes ibbon cascade was gone. _In the second, there were all the little tassocks of the Fn ih ih small green above the surface race, and tripping along gently, down to the very seat of the bull-frog. “ Hoity, toity.” cried, my grand.uncle after he had paused long enough to find speech, “ here is some mistake in this matter!” _ Now, it is a principle of physics, that an exhausted receiver is the worst thing in the world tomake a draugh upon.— The mill-dam was like a bank that. bad paid out all its specie; and, consequently, could not bear the run made upon it by the big wheel, which, in turn, having lost its credit, stopped payment with that hid. eous yell that wrought such a shock upon the nerves of my grand ancle: In vain did the old gentleman ransack the stores of bis phi y. t© come at this principle. He studied the case: for balf an hour examined the dam in every part, and was exceedingly perplexed.— “ Those rascals of muskrats have been at work,” said he. So, the examination was conducted to this point; bat not a hole cguld be found. “ The soil is a poroas, open, filtrating kind of soil,” said the old gentleman. “}t seems to me, master,” said an arch looking negro; who was gaping over the flood gate upon'the muddy waste, “that the mill’s ran out of water.” “Who asked you for your opinion, you scoundrel,” said my grand uncle ina great fury—for he was now begioning to fret —"get out of my sight, and bold your tongae.” * The fellow is right,” said the miller, “we have worked out the water, that’s clear |” “ It's a two-hour mill,” added the negro, in @ voice scarcely audible, taking the risk of my grand uncle’s displeasure, and grin- ning saacily but good humoredly, as he spoke. [t is said that my grand uncle looked at the black with the most awful face he ever put on in his life. It was blood-red with anger. Bat, bethinking himself for a mo: ment, he remained silent, as if to subdue his temper. There was something, however, In the simple observation of the negro, that re- sponded exactly to my uncle’s secret thoughts ; and some such conviction rising up in bis mind, gradually lent its aid to smother his wrath. How could he beat the poor fellow for speaking the trath !— It was—and be now saw it written in characters that could not be mistaken,—it was, after all his trouble, and expense, and fond anticipations, ‘‘a two-bour mill.” “Stop the mill,” said my grand uncle, turning round, and speaking in the mild- est voice to the miller, “stop the mill ; we shall discontinue owr work to-day.” bas been as silent as a church for the last hoar.” “ True,” said my grand uncle, recollect- ing himself; “come, Walter, we will mount oar horses, and think over this mat- ter when we get home.

CONGRESS. In the House of Representatives on the 12th instant, Mr. Stanly moved a suspension of the rules to enable him to offer a resolution requesting the President to inquire into the trath of reports which represent the Hungarian exiles now in New York as being in danger of starvation; and if so, that he take steps to relieve their suffer- ings. And appropriating thousand dollars for that purpose. Mr. Preston Rig, [abolitionist] of New York, desired to ask a question of the gentleman from North Carolina. Mr. Stanly, said that be answered no questions coming from that quarter of the House. Mr. King desired to know if the gentle- man did not vote against the resolution to receive Kossuth 7? Mr. Stanly replied that bis resolution was forexiles, not for humbugging gov- ernors. The question was taken, and the House refused to suspend the rules, 125 to 46. On’ Tuesday, a message was received from the President, enclosing a correspon- dence between the Secretary of State and Mr. Lawrence, U. S. Minister to England, in relation to a scheme of the British gov- ernment for promoting the efhigration of free blacks from the U. 8. to the British ‘West Indies. It appears that Mr. Law- ject by Geo. W. Owen, Esq., of Georgia, who supposed, from the language of a cir- cular from Earl Grey on the subject, that it was designed to promote the emigra- tion of slaves. Mr. Lawrence according- ly called on the British Minister, who promptly assured him that no idea of the kind was indulged ; but, that the govern- ment being aware of a deficiency of la- bor in the West Indies, had supposed that the people of the United States would be glad to get rid of the numerous free blacks residing among them, and would readily unite in promoting their emigration as proposed ; and farther, that the persons who desired to emancipate slaves, and were obliged to send them out of the State, would avail themselves of this plan, which was designed to pay the expenses of re- moval of all such persons of boih classes. On Wednesday, nothing of importance. On Thorsday, Mr. Conger endeavored to introduce a resolution going the whole Kossoth doctrine of intervention ; but ob- jection was made. HUNGARY VS. WASHINGTON.

A writer in the Woon- socket Patriot states, that in 1694, whilt. spinning a quaintity of Sea Island cotton, the evennesss and beauty of the yarn at- tracted the attention of Mrs. Slater, the question arose whether, if doubled thread. The experiment..was tried,and in order to be fully satisfied with.the re- sult, a.sheet was made, one half with lin- en, and the other half with. cotton thread, and immediately put in use. The cotton wore the best, and the linen was the first that was rent. From the period, Mr. Sla: ter commenced the manufacture of cotton thread, and it soon spread into England, France, and other Pbroddas countries, where it is generally supposed to be of English origin—though the credit of the invention belongs almost gotirely to an American matron. . POUTING. ROOM. John Adams, in his correspondence with William Cunningham, gives the following lively description of a Boudoir, which we publish by the particular request of a ja dy, that husbands, who are afflicted with the most disagreeable of all appendages —pouting wives—may learn bow to get rid of the nuisance by a more rational me thod than is asually adopted. The object is, to make it tolerable to remain at bon and not fly to the pot-house or loafers ub for relief. a. “ What is a Bonodoir? It is a Pouting Room. And what is a Pouting Room ?— In many gentlemen’s houses in France, there is an apartment of an octagonal form, twelve or fifteen feet across, and thirty-six or forty-five feet round, and all the eight sides, as the ceiling above, are of the most polished glass mirrors ; so that when a man stands in the centre of the room, he sees himself in every direction, multiplied into a row of self. as far as the eyes can extend. The humor of it is, that when the lady of the house is out of tem- this chamber to pout, and see in every di- rection how beautiful she is.” The President bas sent a message to the Senate recommending that an appropriation be immediately made to defray the expenses home- ward of the Americans who were engaged ig the Lopez expedition, and bave since Leen par- doned by the Spanish Government. It is to be hoped that favorable action will be had upon this humane recommendation, since many of those once deluded men are without doubt utterly des- litute of means. “ Suchis Life.”—A half dranken wo- man was preambulating the streets of Cincinnati on Thursday night.

I have read a story of three little trout who discontented and unhappy, desired each to have a wish that should be gran- ted. The first wished for wings, that it might fly; the next wished for a great deal of knowledge, and to understand all ubout hooks and nets, that it might keep out of danger; the third, being a poor igno- rant fisb, and not knowing what was best, wished that God would take care of him, and give him just what He saw best, and choose for him. So God gave wings to the first, and delighted with the exercise of his new power, he flew far, far away, to a desert, where he died from thirst.— To the second he gave knowledge, and so be was all the time in terror, he was afraid to go into deep water, lest the great fishes should swallow him, and he was afraid to go inte shallow water lest it should dry up and leave him. He dared not eat any- thing lest a hook might be concealed in it and sd he pined away and died. But God loved the third little trout who trusted in'Him, and took care of him, and kept him from all dangers, so that he was always happy. My story carries with it, its own moral.

Spirtt of the Age. A LETTER FROM. MR. CLAY. Mr. Abraham Morrison, of Johnstown, (Pa.) recently addressed a letter to Mr. Clay in relation to Colonization in Libe- ria and the education of colored youth.— The great Statesman replied as follows: Asacanp, Serr. 30, 1851. Dear Sir: I have duly received and have attentively read your letter of the 22d instant. You suggest a plan of rais- ing a fund of halt a million dollars for the establishment of a permanent academy or institution for the thorough education of Atrican youth, tu be sent to Africa after the completion of their education to pro- mote the cause of Colonization and Chris- tianity. Yoo propose that this fund shall be created by the voluntary subscription of $500 each, by one thousand individaals and with great liberality you offer to head the list. Ihave no doubt that if the scheme could be carried into practical execution it would effect much good, but I have strong fears that the sum could not be raised with the facility you suppose. It would not be practicable to obtain from Congress an act of incorporation for such an association, for the want of constitu- tional power to pass it; but an act of in- corporation might got from one of the State Legislatures, which would answer all purposes. In the mean time Liberia offers as much encouragement. Her schools are well attended to, and meas- ures are, | believe, in successful progress in New England to raise a liberal fund to establish a high school or schools in Li- beria. If you have had occasion, as ] have to observe the proceedings and progress of that colony, you must have been grati- fied with the amount of intelligence and com:non sense which they have brought into operation in the conduct of pablic af- fairs. It is a mistake to suppose that the colonists are chiefly recently emancipated from slavery. Many of them were bora free, some are educated, although with- oat bovk-learning, and bave that not in- ferior knowledge which is derived from the intercourse and business of life. ‘What is now, i think, most needed for Afrien, for her race in this country. and. for our race, is a greater amount of pe~ cuniaty means and other facilities to transport colonies to Africa. lam glad: that you have directed yoor attention to this interesting; subject. If the recent decision of Indiana excluding lowed)'as I bave no doubt in process of time it will be, by most if not all the States, what will become of the poor creatures!

[trast every en- lightened tnan throughoot the world will oppose it. and that, especially, those who, like our. selves, are furtunately out of reach of the bay. onets that enfurce it, will proclaim their detes. lation of it in a tone both loud aad decisive.” “A right to interlere in extreme cases, in Ihe case of contiguvas states, and where im. minent danger is threatened to one by what is (ranspiring in another, is pol withoul precedent in modern times, upon what has been called the law of vicingge; and when confined to ex- treme cases, and limited to a certain extent, it may perhaps be defended upon principles of necessity and self defence. But to maintain that sovereigns may go to war upon the sub. jecis of another state to repress an example, is monstrous indeed.” “If the authority of all these governments be hereafier tu be mized and blended, and to flow in une augmented current of prerogative, over the face of Europe, sweeping away all re. sistance in its course, it will yet remain for us to secure our own principles; which I hope we shal! have the manliness to express-on all prop- er occasions, and the spirit to defend in every extremity.” “ [t is not proper for us at all times—is it not our duty, at this time, to come forth, and deny, and condemn, these monstrous principles.— Where, but here, and in one other place, are they likely to be resisted? ‘They are advanced with equal coolness and buldness; and they are-supported by immense power. ‘The timid will shrink and give way—and many of the brave may be compelled to yield to forte. Hu- man liberty may yet, perhaps, be obliged to re. pose its principal hopes on the intelligence and the vigor of the Sazon race. As. tar as de- peuds on us, at least, I trust those hopes will not be disappoinied ; and thal, 'o the extent which may consist with our own poiicy, our opinions and sentiments may be brought to act, oa the right side, and to the right end, oo an occasion which is, in truth, nothing less than & momentous question between an intelligent age, full of knowledge, thirsting for improve. ment, and quickened hy a thousand impulses, on one side, and the most arbitrary prétensions, sustained and unprecedented power, on the other.” “This asserted right of forcible intervention. in the affairs of other nations, is in open viola. tion of the public law of the world.” * It may, in the next place, be asked, per. haps, supposing all this to be true, what shail wedot Are we to goto war? Are we to in. terfere in the Greek cause, or any other Euro. pean cause? Are we to endanger our pacific relations? No! Certainty not. What then, the question recurs, remains for ust If we will veither furnish armies nor navies to the cause which we think the just: one, what is there within our power 1? : “ Sir, this reagoning mistakes the age. The time bas heen, indeed, when fleets, and atmies, and sébsidies, were ihe principal retiances even’ in the best cause. But,"happily for mankiad; there bas arrived & great change in this reepeet!

There are several matters of a political nature which claim of the friends of Mr. Fillmore and the Whig party, their early and serious consideration. The election for Governor and members to the Legis- latare comes on in August; and we have also to elect a President this year. The necessity of re-kindling our camp fires is at once suggested : we should begin our preparations for the contest. David S. Reid will no doubt be run for re-election; he ought to be beaten, and if the right steps are taken will certainly be sent into fetiracy. The' Free Suffrage qaestion—that shadow without substance —is yet open, and if the conservatives will do their duty they can give it real life, and at the same time put a stop to hobby mak- tng, by securing a general amendment of the Constitation: on the only true plan by which it should be altered—a State Con- vention.—-The next Legislature will also be required to lay.off the Stete inte Dis- tricts in accordance with the ‘apportion- ment’ of the late'Census. Tf thé» Whigs don’t goard their interest in this measure, they may have to regret it for the, next ten.or'twenty years. There. is no, calcu- lating the mischief of a: neglect. ofthis business, as it must necessarily affeet the interest of the whole country.

In 1564 the cold was so intense that the Thames, in England, was covered with ‘ice sixty-one inches thick. In 1693 the cold. was so excessive that the famished wolves entered Vienna and attacked beasts, and even men. Many people in Germany were frozen to death in 1695, and 1699 was nearly as bad. In 1709 occured that famous winter, -ealled by distinction the cold winter. All’ ‘the rivers and lakes were frozen, and even the sea for several miles from the shore. The ground was frozen nine feet deep.— Birds and beasts were struck dead in the fields, and men perished by thousands in their houses. In the south of France the ‘wine plantations were almost destroyed. nor have they yet recovered that fatal disaster. The Adriatic sea was frozen, and even th® Mediterranean about Genoa; and the citron and orange groves suffered extremely in the finest parts of Italy. = © In 1716 the winter was so intense that cade ap across the see from nbagen to the province nia, in Sweden In 1726, in Scotland, multitudes of cat- tle and sheep were buried in the snow. In 4740 the winter was scarcely inferior to that of 1709. The snow lay ten feet deep in Spain and Portogal. The Zuyder Zee was frozen over, and thousands went over it. And*the lakes in’ England froze. 49744 the winter: was very Cold. fell jo Portogal to the depih of tWenty three feet on a level. ‘Tn 1754 and 1755 the winters were very severe and cold. In England, the strong- est ale, exposed to the airina glass, was covered with ice one-eighth 6f an inch thiek. In 1771 the Elbe was frozen to the bot- tom. In 1706 the Danube bore ice five feet thick below Vienna. Vast numbers of the feathered and finny tribes perished. The winters of 1774 and 1775 were un- commonly severe. The little Belt was frozen over. From 1800 to 1812, also, the winters were remarkably cold, particularly the lattér, in ris. whieb proved so disas e trous to the French army. IS NOT THIS TOO TRUE ? “ The gay will laugh When thou art » the solemn brood of eare Plod on and one as before will chase His favorite phantom.”— Bayan. A few friends will go and bury us—af. fection will rear a stone, and plant a few flowers over oar grave—in a brief period the Little bilock will be smbothed down. and the stone will fall and neither friend nor stranger will be concerned to ask which one of the forgotten millions of the earth was buried there. Every vestige that we ever lived upon the earth will have vanished away. All the little me- morials of our remembrance—the lock of hair. encased in gold, of the portrait that hung in our dwelling, will cease to bave the slighiest value io any human being.

In going from place to place, familiar during the progress of the ‘canvass, and ‘in’ meeting | certain individua)s with whom he bad-been hand | and glovetor. weeks, he found that -be owas a man of far lees consequence than hefore.

Occasionally, an. individual about as important as himeelf would seize his hand and half ring it off. | But he would have will- ingly dispensed with these particular congratu. lary danifestations. a About three o'clock, Mutphy repaired to the residence of R , and ‘sent bis name in by the servant, who brooght’ back word that the gentleman was particularly engaged. ‘Tell bim,’ said’ the Irishman, that Mr. Mur. phy would jist like to ¢peak wan word wid him. Jist wan word and no more, aod won't kape bim a minute,’ The servant went back, and, after a rather prolonged absence, returned and asked Murphy to walk in, ‘Take a seat. Mr. R will be.down in a little while,’ said the servant, as he opened one of the parlor doors and motioned the Irish- man to enter. , A quarter ofan hour elapsed, and then R— made his appearance. His face did not wear a very cordial aspect. It is true, there was a smile upon his lip, but it was a forced smile, fading quickly. ‘Well, my good friend,’ said he, coldly, ‘what can | dolor you?’ He did not even say *Mr. Murphy.’ The Irishman was chilled by the manner of » and felt himself strongly repulsed. * I've worked hard for yez,’ said Patbrick, in an humble voice. * You did your duty to the good cause; I'll give you credit for that, friend Murpby ; and you'll get your reward.’ ‘But bow soon, Musther R ? ‘ All in good time.. all in good time,’ was auswered, with some importance, * Ye knows, Musther R up my siteation’— * At bod carrying? Ob yes, 1 remember.— Well, Pat, you’ve bad a pretty easy time of it lor a couple of months, and can go to work now with more apteh sustained as you will be by the reflection that you have served your adopt. ed cuuniry like a good and true citizen.’ But [ gave up my siteation, Musther R——,’ said the Irishman, in a distressed tone of voice. * You must find another, then my friend. You can’! expect to live in idlegess. Every man inust work to live.’ , This was said in a tone of stinging rebuke. ‘I’m not afraid to work,’ returned Murphy- ‘But I’ve got no work, You promised me’— ‘Office hunting already! Why, don’t you know, man, that I shall not take my seat in Congress for a year? I’m still only a pri. vale cilizen.’ ‘A year!’ stammered Murphy, in a husky voice. ‘A year did yez say?’ ‘Certainly I did. The member’s term, in whose place I have been elected, does not ex pire until the close of the present Congress. — When I take my seat next fall, I will do all l can for you. But, until that time, you must go to work like an honest, industrious cilizen. Your reward will come ; never fear. Murpby had arisen trom his chair when R— entered the room, and was still standing in the fluor, the member elect not having invited him to resume bis seat. * And now,’ said the latter, ‘you must excuse me. I have several friends in waiting. ‘And he bowed in a way that said ‘be off!’ almost as distinctly as if he bad given utterance tothe werds. Confounded, and utterly cast down under a sense of mortification and distress, the Irishman turned away and retired in silence. ‘Remember, William,’ he heard R say to ais waiter, as he was passing to the door speaking with seme anger, ‘Pm not at home to any of these fellows.’ Outside of the door, as he opened it, Murphy found two men of his own class, one of whom said *Can I see Mr. R ? *He’s not at home,’ said the servant, ap- pearing at the moment. ‘When will he be in?’ was inquired. ‘I can’t tell,’ was answered, and the door was shut in the man’s face. -[v’s a bloody lie!’ said Murphy indignantly, half to bimself and half alond. ‘ He is in, thea? exclaimed one of the men. * He’s jist that!’ ‘Have you seen him?” *Yis.’ ‘Well? * And got a bit of cowld comfort for me pains; jist what ye’ll git, if ye’r after ony favors.’ And, with this, he turned away, in ao very pleasant mood of mind. As he was walking along. with his head bowed down and his eyes upon the pavement, some one said— * Hi, Patrick ! is this you 7’ On looking up, he recognized one of the clerks in Mr. P. "s store. ‘Where have you been keeping yourself, Patrick? We spent a whole week some time ago in trying to find you.’ * Iudade !’ ‘Yes.

He's got too many others to reward with the few crumbs it may be in his power to dispense. The Irishman groaned, but made no reply. * Good moruing, Patrick,’ said the clerk.— * And take with you this piece of good advice ; never put any faith in the promises of a politi. cian, made on the eve of election, for he’il be sure to deceive you.’ With this the young man moved on, and the Irishman was left still sadder than before. Of the toil and struggle through which the humbled Patrick Murphy, again shrunk down to his real dimensions, passed during the long, bard winter that followed, and of the sufferings endured by bis poorly clothed, warmed, and fed wile and children, we will not speak. They were severe enough. In the spring, he went back to cellar-digging and hod carrying, at which he worked uatil fall, when he was sought for again by his old political friends who knew the value of his services, and again wheeled by promises into taking the bit into his mouth. This time, however, he was a little wiser, and look care not to neglect his daily work. In the spring, a new party, trimphant at this elec- tion were to come into power, and Murphy, a little better instructed thas. before, now under. stvod that he must wait a few months before the time came for a distribution of political favors in the shape of comfortable offices ; so he wise. ly accepted, for the winter, tbe place of coal beaver in a coal. yard. March at length came around, and a new party came intu power. Then followed a gen- eral system of removals from office, and the appointment of new men. There wasa broad gleam of day-light ahead of him, and his heart beat high again with anticipation. He was an applicant tor office, and pressed in among the crowd, eager as any to secure the reward of party service. At first, his ambition led him to select the post of inspector of the customs ; then he changed from that to a clerk in the post office ; and alierwards to @ Jetier carrier. But, as be could get 0 one to sign him a re- commehdation to either of these places, he, upun the advice of one for whose opinion he bad sume respect, filed an application for the situa- tion of night inspector, or, in other words, cus- tum house watchman. The running, coaxing, begging, and all manner of humiliation atiend. anton getting up his recommendations, were painful to even Murphy’s rather obtuse sensi- bilities, and be more than once felt like giving up the effort in disgust, and falling back, for life, upon honest, independent labor. As the signa: * I've a mind till go and What has he to “#8 ite pig the result of his electioneering diversions, was confounded by such an unexpected bill. But there was no evading it. He had ordered ihe supper, aod under his sanction, the wines had been added. Moreover, the ‘purty introduced by bim had broken the landlord’s furniture, for which he very confidently demanded payment. A day or two alter the receipt of this’ docu- ment, the Irishman sat alone in one of the offi- ces attached to the custom house, meditating on what be had gained and Jost in politics, aad feeling in no very elevated frame of mind. whea the messenger came io and banded him a let. ter. He broke the seal and read, with dismay, his dismassal from office, ample testimony hav. ing been received at the ‘ Department,’ so said the communication, ‘that he was a drunken, turbulent fellow, and not to be trusted by the government, which sought for sober, orderly men to fill its responsible stations.’ This was too much for Patrick Murphy to bear patiently. Here was the result, afier be. tween two and three years’ devotion of himsel{ to party interests. ‘Thus was he rewarded! ‘A pleasant morse! placed before his eager lips and then drawn hastily away! In the excite- ment and indignation of the moment, he tore his-dismissa! {rom office into a: bundred pieces; and then, seizing a chair, as his frenzy increas- ed, dashed to fragments a plaster bust of the chief magistrate of the nation that stood the only witness to his disgrace. ‘Murphy, my good fellow, how are you?’ exclaimed an old party leader and driver, who bad obtained good service out of the Irishman in former times. This was at the opening of the next political canvass. Murpby, when thus addressed, was standing in tront of P "se store, back into which snug quarters he had fouod his way again. * Purity well, I thank yez,’ returned the Irish. man, coldly. ‘ We want to see you down at head quarters to night,’ said the man, laying his band famil- iarly on Murphy’s shoulder. * We can’t do without your valuable aid.’ * Be dad, and yez wan't see me there!’ re- tarned Patrick, showing his teeth and knitting his great shaggy brows. ‘Why not my honest friend?’ inquired the party leader. * Don’t honest friend me, if ye plaze! I’se abandoned yez all in disgust, so I have, bad cess till y’r politics!) They’re only got up to chate and desave the honest, hard workin’ pa. ple into votin’ for nabobs, who don’t care a ha’pence for them.’ * But, my friend Morphy,’ began the other, in a soothing voice. * Yez nadent frind me,’ quickly retorted the Irishman. ‘It'll do no good. A burnt child dreads the fire. 1’se got enough of politics.— 80 good mornin’ till yez.’ And, with this, the ‘disgusted’ elector turned away aod marched into the store. ‘The man, half amused and half angry, stood for a mo. ment looking after Murphy, and then moved on, saying to himself as he did so— * Confound the fellow! He isn’t so green as I thought him. Well, we must fill bis place with sume Green Islander of a later impor- tance. ‘There are plenty of them about ready to be caught. I guess we can spare him.’ And, with this consolation, the party leader wenton his way. Doubtless he found it an easy matter to fill the gap left by Murphy’s breach from the traces; for, we say it mere in sorrow than in levity, * all the fools are not dead yet.’ Adroit Swindling.—A young man cal. tore of R , the party member to Congress, was considered of importance, Murphy strove | bard to gett.

It stood (bus— ~ For supper and wines, $40 For breakage of furniture, 30 $70 » Poor Murphy, already in debt some eighty or champagne and sherry by the dozen; and, in, pa cPhelin’s | Pe ling himself Mr. Jones, of genteel appear- ance, presented himself on Wednesday, last, at the dry goods store of Mr. Thomas Wallace, at the south east corner of King and Society streets, and made several pur- chases of one of the cleks, amouncing in all toabout thirty-four dollars which he stated, were all designed as a present to a sick sister, who was an invalid, and con- fined to the house. He took possession of the goods, and requested that the clerk might be allowed to accompany him to his residence, where he would pay the bill. The proprietor not suspecting that Joges was about to play the villain gave bis consent, and they left the establishment together. When they had arrived in Church-street, Jones entered a small dry goods store a little to the south of St. Michaels Alley, with his booty, and left the clerk at the door awaiting his return with the money, bat instead of returning be made bis escape from the rear. The success attending this transaction, emboldened Jones to a second piece of rascality, infinitely more adroit than the first. He next made his apperance at the residence of a lady. residing in the extreme north western part of the city. for what rpose has not been disclosed. This la- dy had bought a bill of goods at the store ot Mr. W.G. Bancroft, King-st, amoanting to very nearly $100, and bad sent a mes- sage to this gentleman by a servant, re- questing bim to send for the money. The bell was rung, and the servant who had been sent on the errand, believing that it was Mr. Bancroft's collector, invited him into the house, and the lady shortly ap- ared with the bill and the money, but instead of Mr. Baneroft’s agent it was our hero, who pretending thet bis faculty of hearing was very defective, drew from her a partial explanation of transaction, and thus having been put :0 pot on of some of the facts, he took the bill and re- ceipted it, signing * J: W.

GOVERNOR BIGLER. - THE INAUGURAL ADDRESS * * * * * PY Our republican institutions are based upon the axium that the people are the only righttul Source of power. Under these institutions thus founded, the will of the people, reflected through the ballot box, gives direction to public affairs. — Through this medium. the humblest, not less than the most distinguished, can stamp the impress of his will upon the public policy of the country. This feature of our republican system is its great dis- linguisbing characteristic and guided by the general intelligence and patriotism of the people, the cause of our success as a nation—the Right of Soffrage; should therefore be held inviolate and its inde- pendent exercise enjoyed by every citizen. To prepare the minds of the people by general education—by the inculcation of moral precepts and religious truth, should be accounted the noblest purpose of the government. All that we are and all that we can hope to be, as a nation, is depen- dent on the source of power. The right of the citizen over property, his personal liberty and security, the freedom of speech and liberty of the press, the free toleration of religious sentiment, are alike subservi- ent to this great source of human law.— How important, is it, then, that this great head should remain pure and independent. When the fountain is pure, the stream emanating therefrom, will be also pure. Then by promoting the moral and intel- lectual culture of the people. the soarce of vitality of our government, our laws will be made wise, our institutions be pre- served pure our country remain free, pros- perous and happy. The experience of the world seems to demonstrate that general intelligence and republicanism must go together. The suc- cessful government of the people is the government of intellect direeted by virtue. A thorough education of the youth of our country will, therefore, tend far more to the security of institutions and the main tenance of our national honor, than all other means, Besides common school ed. ucation, high literary attainment, the knowledge of the arts and sciences, a com. prehension of individual rights and the principles of the Christian religion consti- tute the very bulwark of our republican government. The schemes and machina. tions of the demagogue will fall harmless before the people thus thoroughly educa- ted. The dangerous tendency of monopoly and the corrupting influence of money are met and counteracted by the power and virtue of: this knowledge. Liberal expenditares by our government for the purpose of education, may well be regard- ed as rigid economy, and the payments of the people for the support of this cause as pure devotion to republicanism. It should be the first care of parent and the government, and its fruits accounted the richest legacy we can leave to posterity. In the discharge of the various duties of the office I have just assumed, it will be my anxious desire to do equal and ex- act justice to all men of whatever persua- sion, religious or political, and especial- ly to advance the interests of this great commonwealth, to increase the resources of her treasory, husband her means, di- minish her debt, and elevate the standard of her credit—to favor such measures as may be calculated to develope her vast re- sources and stimulate alike her agrical- tural, mining, manufacturing, mechanic and commercial interests, and co-operate most cheerfully with the legislative branch of the government in the adoption of such barthen of the people. . * * + * * * I am most happy, my fellow citizens, to meet you in my present capacity, at a pe- riod when our common country is at peace with all the* world and prosperous in an eminent degree. The dangerous conflict touching.the subject of slavery, which for a time seemed to menace the stability of the national government, has been most fortunately, and I trust permanently, ad- justed through the medium of. what are generally known as the “ Compromise Measures.” The general acquiesence of the several States in this adjustment gives assorance of continued peace to the coun- try and permanénee to tbe Union—per- manence to that Union, the formation,of which gave our nation early influence and dignity of position with the other powers of the earth.

To Congress undoubtedly belonga,.éa the first instance, the duty of visions to carry into peer botany oe of this instroment, but itis the right.and duty of the: States, movement if this*le gitimate’ work. They should’ never attempt, by means@f theit tion to émbatrass the of the ¢ofstitption. Such imerfe san: not fail to engender hostile feelings be- tween the different sections of, Uaioe and if persisted in, lead to a se ion of the States. So tar. as legislation of this kind can be. found on. the statute -heok.of this State, it should be speedily. repealed. Of this characier | regard the greaterpor- tion of the law of 1847 probibiting:-the gse of our State prisons for the detention of fugitives from labor, whilst awaitt et He that work I shall also aid) ar as | may properly do so, to serereet re all attempts to resist Ae execution of laws of Congress, whether providing fot the rendition of fugitives from labor, or for any other constitutional purpose, The necessity for such action is fully demon- strated by the fatal consequences result, ing from an attempt recently occurring within our own borders. The loyalty of Pennsylvania to the Na tional Union cannot be doubted. She és now, as she ever has been, for the Consti+ tution and its Compromises. She will maintain and execute, in letter and spirit, the several adjustment measures as ' ed by the late Congress, on the subject of slavery. She regards these measures a8 a permanent settlement of this dangerous geographical conflict and will discounten- ance, to the full extent of her influence, attempts at future agitation of the qpea- tions settled by them. She has planted herself on the Constitution and, guided. by iis wise provisions, will seek todo justice to all sections of the country, and endeave or to strengthen the bonds of the Union by cherishing relations of amity and,pa> ternal affection between all its members. A paragraph is obtaining extensive cir. culation, representing, on the authority of the American Almanac, that there -wepre at Chapel Hill but thirty-nine cleat days “from June 1850 to May 1853”; the rest, 329 days, being represeuted as “cloudy 3” and the impression is made still moreunm favorable by representing, from the same authority, that there were 164 clear days at Green Lake, Wisconsin, in 1850, and at Cincinnati 143 clear days, 171 vatiable, and 51 cloudy. ° _ Our friend of the Wilmington Herald, whose pen is wont to give a spice of ha. mor to every thing it touches, on giving place to this paragraph, indulges in some reflections on blue devils, anti-fogmaties, &c., but cannot suppress the prevailing douht that the “cloudy paragraph” is the product of some indolent youngster at the Hill, and partakes strongly of the favor of the Java coffee which was raised in Caswell. ; But all this “fog” can be easily dissipa- ted by the explanation which we have authority in making. The observations reported for the American Almanac were taken at four specified periods during each day, and entries made obscured by clouds. The result of these observations showed. only thirty-nine days during the abowe-i mentioned period in which the sky was entirely cloudless. A floating cloud though “no bigger than a man’s hand,” wou prevent an entry indicating this: perfegt, clearness, yet there may have been many: more days which, in common parlance, would have been denominated “ clear,” an unebscored sun cheering the earth with its light and heat. The fact was nodoubt represented truly in the Almanac; the blunder was only in the editor who pre- red the article in circulation. So far, then, from Chapel Hill having more cloudy days “than any other local- ity in the Uaioe or in Europe,” the proba- bility is that it isas much blessed with sunshine as the most favored. ‘ Hillsborough Recorder.

Nortn anv Sourn.—Some singular tacts have coine to light recently, in the history and progress of the Methodiet Church, since it was divided by the antislavery excitement, a few years ago. ‘The statistics are as follows :— ‘The: Chareh, North, had members, in 1844 732,123 - Ip gil 703,571 Decrease in seven years 23,552 ‘The Charch, South, had in 1844 439,238 Im i851 514,601 Increase in seven years 75,368 By thie statement, it appears that the Church, h, since the division, has increased, but the Chureb, North, has decreased. How can this be ‘aecounted for? The more probable reason ie the recent introduction of Fourierism, social. jem, and other isms in the North—diepersing atid diminishing all the Christian churches and commonities-of the day. — It is cow probably eight years since Bristane, Greely, Dana, and their, associates, the abylitionisia, including Seward, Raymond, Weed, and others, have aan eperadins all sorts of radicalism, commun. tem, Feurieram, and socialism, The progress of theae principles in private life, and in certain es of saciely, can be seen, to a certain ex. nt, in the scenes in jhe divorce cases which have taken place in our courts of justice ; and similar results upon the religious movement can now he ascertained by an appeal to figures, and a colleetion of facts connected with the Methodist Church. The truth of the matter is, that if disunion takes whee ip our day, between the North and we dy uot believe that.

The mo. ment disunion takes place, from that moment may be dated the rapid dectine of the Northern States, until they reach a point of civilization similar to that in South America. . “Althoogh Mr. Kerr, our Charge d’AL faira,.to, Nicaragua, has been several months, in, that country. he has not yet been-able-to find any reeponsible Govern. menttaewhich he might present his cre. dentinis, Phe last intelhgence trom him was dated at Leon. some time in Novem. ter, When he was stil! pursuing bis search fort in the shape of a function. ary who might receive him in an official capacity. discoverer.

It is corroborated by the * hand writing’ of most of the * great men” of our vicinity, whose manascript our boys have had the pleasure of licking into shape for the public eye. To bother over a dozen pages of manuscript, abominably spelled, worse writtet® and not punctuated at all,—and then have the author of the mess grumble because it is not accurately printed,—is refreshing !—Greensboro’ Pat. An attempt to break jail was lately made by the prisoners, in this place, which very nearly succeeded. During the late extraordinary cold weather five of the prisoners were permitted to occupy one apartment—a peculiarly strong room, on the upper floor, with a double grated win- dow. The iron bars of the grates are two inches wide by three quarters thick. The inner grate is composed of these bars crossed each way, three inches apart, and rivited at every crossing. The outer grate is made in the same manner, except that the bars are only two inches apart. On Saturday last it wag discovered that the prisoners had, with a case oye cut thro’ the bars sixteentimes. A sufficient open- ing was already made through the inner grate to admit of escape ; and it was in- tended and éxpected to have the aperture through the outer one sufficiently large | by the night after for all to go through.— A rope tor the purpose of effecting their descent was made of blankets torn into strips and twisted together. The work Appears to have been originated and con- ducted principally by the prisoner Deen, convicted at last Superior court for slave stenling, and now awaiting the decision of the Supreme Court on his case. The work was commenced the last day of De- cember. The knife is not mach worn con. sidering the service it has performed. Greeng. Patriot. WHAT DOES IT MEAN 7? The last number of the N. C.

Ice on the Potomac.—Several measure- ments have been mude, at various places, of the thickness of the sheet ice on the Potomac. About ten miles down, where the river is wide, we have heard it re. ported at nearly two feet: opposite Georgetown, where the current must be pretty strong and rapid, it was measured on Tuesday, and found to be eleven and a half inches.

A DISCOVERY INTERESTING TO FLO RISTS. The Paris correspondent of the St Louis Re. publican tells us of a most beautiful and inter. esting discovery which has lately been made by a celebrated Parisian borticulturist, by the name of Hobart: ~ [ was persuaded (says he) to goto bis rooms a few days since, and [assure you I had no rea. sun to regret the long walk Lhadtaken. Beneath a large glass case, leur or five feet in height and as many in circumference, were placed pots of roses, japonicas, pinks, dahlias, china asters, etc., etc., all in bud. By means of a certain gas, invented by himself, and which is made to pass by a gutta percha tube to any pot required, Mr. Hobart causes the instantaneous blooming of the floowers, The ladies in the room asked successively for roses, dahlias, japonicas, and saw them burst into full bloom and beauty in a second. It was really wonderful. Mr. Ho- bart is now trying to improve on his discovery and to make the gas more portable, and its ap- plication less visible. ‘The secret is of course his, and his rooms are crowded every day with the most deligbied spectators. I wish I could send you the lovely camilla I received, which when asked for was so tightly enveloped in the green leaves of its calix, that the color of its flower could not even be guessed at; and ye! the request was hardly out of my lips when the beaatitul white camilla was in my hand. When he hagmade a little more progress, Mr. Hobart intends to get out a patent and deliver bis dis. covery to the public.” The reader is at liberty to believe as much of this story as he thinks proper.

One man got $27 for a little piece ot old field that only produces pine shrubs ! 1 Rail Road.—The contractors on this part of the line have not permitted the least diminution of energy and speed in their operations. On the contrary, it seems, just now, that they are just “ get- ting their hand in.” The work goes brave- ly on, Jt will be seen, by reference to our ad vertising columns, that the President. is now ready to teceive proposals for the sills on the line between Salisbury and Charlotte.

The Journal of Commerce gives an ac- count of a novel production which the Bay | State Mills—those which recently drove | the British shawls out of the market—have produced, It isa felt carpet, printed in| block work, and designed according to) weight either as a floor cloth or drugget. | The threads of wool are not spun or wo-| ven, but drawn out and laid together, the whole mass being felted like a hat body. | Within a few months, fabrics have been put together in this way, showing a dil- | ferent color on either side, and designed | for coats to be made up without lining.— The Bay State Mills make this cloth with a white ground, about 40 inches wide, weighing from 4 to 24.0zs. per yard, and print it in elegant carpet designs, show- ing the richest combination of brilliant colors, and furnish it at 75 to 90 cents per ard. af We do not see why this kind of carpets | should not answer as well as the woven kind.

When the building of this railroad was commenced, it was supposed that it would yield little or nothing to the stockholders, till after its completion to Galena, But the experiment of a do- zen miles of finished road, says the Ill, State Register, demonstrated that the cal. culations of the_projectors were erroneous, and every successive mile constracted has made that demonstration more complete. * When it was extended thirty-five miles west of Chicago. it paid fourteen per cent. upon the cost; and the same income has been realized constantly as the road pro- gressed to its present western termination, which it reached this month. Calcula.- tions for a certain amount of business be tween this time and the opening of navi- gation were made, and lecomotives and cars were provided in accordance with these calculations, but it is accertained that there is a: great deal more business than the road can do, and tht several, more locomotives could find constant em- North Carolina, which hf nn ag ig J in his Report to the. present | . mends the discontinyance of the Charlotte.

THE MAN wHo WOULD DANCE. - A young Physician took offence at bis pastor for preaching against the sin of dancing ; and swore he would dance every night that week. Accordingly he got the young people together, offered a mock prayer, kneeling dows, to ridi- cule the minister, and made nts to spend every wight of that week in the ball room. ‘They commenced on Monday night, and while together the Doctor was sent for to go a few miles ont of town. The night was cold, and be started on horseback with his slip. pers and silk stockings on. ‘Though not in. toxicated, and well acquainted with the road, yet he lost bis way, wandered about in the deep souw, was thrown from his horse; and the next morning was found near the road he had left, crawling’in the snow. His feet and lower limbs were found so badly frozen that he was obliged to have them amputated just below the knee joints. He recovered his health, but was compelled to walk on his knees the rest of his life. He never could dance any more, nor tul. fill his vow. Afier kneeling in mockery, he was rompelled to kneel all the rest of his life. Whether this which belell him was a judg- ment of God for his wickedness, every one can Judge for themselves. Men who fight against His moral laws, contend also against His pro. vidence.—Jncident in a Pastor’s life, by Dr. Wisner. Kossuth.—A Pleasant Incident.—On Thursday the 10th of December, a depo- tation from the book-binders in the employ of the American. Bible Society waited upon Kossuth ; and as a token of their res- pect for the illustrious visiter and the cause which he was advocating, they car- ried with them a spendidly bound Turkey Morocco Bible, highly gilded and embos. sed. Upon the outside of the book, in gold letters, was the following inscription : “ Presented to Louis Kossuth by the book. binders in the employ of the American Bi- ble Society ;” and with it was given a beautiful white silk embroidered marker, bearing the emblem of an eagle, support- ed by the flag of Hungary on the one side, and the flag ot the U. States on the other. Mr. Van Dyke, one of the deputation, addressing Kossouth, said that “they came to present him with a Bible, as a token of their respect for bim and the cause and principles which he represented ; and that they had a letter which would better ex plain the object of the visit.” After Kos. suth had read the communication, Mr. Van Dyke remarked. We shal! be prepar- ed to give you more substantial aid in a short time.” Whereupon Kossuth replied : “ More substantial aid you cannot give (placing his hand on the Bible). This is the most valuable and substantial gift you can give. I thank you for it. Here are the principles of salvation which are giv- en to man, and here are taught those great and noble principles, which. if properly carried out, will be a blessing to all great nations in every part of the world, and make them glorious, happy, and free.— You could not, gentlemen, give me a bet- ter gift, for during all my life it will be a source of contentment and reflection, and a favour which I shall highly value du- ring my existence. God bless you, and | heartily thank you for your present.” Bible Society Record. THE RAPPINGS. “A rapper in New England, of the An- drew Jackson Davis school, professes to have had a recent communication from the spirit of Ethan Allen, in which he stated that he and Tom Paine were stop- ping ai a hotel kept by John Bunyan.” The above is from an exchange ; it isa sad comntentary upon the intellectual and moral qualifications which make up the school referred to.—a sad reflection to find a spirit of infidelity creeping into the community under a disguised form. and leading in its train the credulous and sim- ple-minded. What a vast account the leaders of such schemes will have to ren- der.—Scientific American. SALE OF THE PAMPERD. The sale of this vessel, which was made on Saturday last, was toH. C.

We say to bet,as Mac- beth said to:Mrs. Macbeth: ; « Bring forth men children only: | For thy andaanted metic should compose Nothing bat males.” | Miss Lucy Stone—a precious stone, no doubt—telt aggrieved that woman made her waist-s0 slender “to minister to the depraved, morbid taste of man.” “1 he | very soul,” said Miss S., “ is screwed out of her body.” She also avered that “ there wasnot roum gra large and generousheart inva tight la am corsets.” These womans rights: womef are fond of going Into de- tajlg, -Miss Stone concluded by mows | a tesolution that all employments be open to wemen, and that all openings ought to be seized. § § ig ey Mrs. Elizabeth Stanton, of Seneca Falls daughter of Judge Cady, exhorted her sis: lers by letter to persevere in (be good cause. She argoed in ber communica- tion that. women sbould act as." cap- tains of steamboats and other vesssis. goa: ductors of railroads, where they could 'ob- tain plenty of air and exercise, and mem: bers of Congress.” Dr. Hunt. of Boston, (described as a ro- | bust woman, “ fat, fair, and forty,”) com- plained bitterly that she had been una- ble to obtain admittance at Harvard Col- Jege as a medical student. She sought to “develop her nature,” she said, and ber nature tended to the stady of physiology. We think that Dr. Hunt was an ill used woulan, She said, and we do not ques- tion it, that Jady doctors “ had an ease, a confidence, and a prudence that woald go | far to cure the patient without medicine.” No dowht of @t. Mrs. Mehitable Haskell, an old lady, eaid she “had groaned for fifty years un- der the oppression of men.” Having made this afflicting statement, she lifted up her voice And wept; but, Sooa dryingrin ber tears by the fire of ber indignation, she adjured the women present to do batile for their rights. We bope the he fellows will let Mebitable alone for the futare ; fifty years are enough to “groan under the oppression of men.” Let the old Judy have an unlimised furlougb. Of all the women who figured in the | Convention. we like Mes; Nichols, the wife of a Vermont editor, the best, Sbe ign a false position. Her beert is evi- | dently running over with warm womanly | feeling. She said that “ the object of wo | men was to be loved.” We like ber for | the rea) tenderness with which she spoke of her husband and children. She com- pelied.all ber sisters to betray the soft- ness of their nature io spite of themselves, by making them all cry. ‘ FROM THE SPIRIT OE THE TIMES. A DEAR DINNER. Dear P:: At the last “ Hen Convention” | in our city. some six weeks since, a mu | taal friend of ours, residing in the suburbs of our metropolis, came to the city in the morning to attend the “hen fair,” where he purchased a very large anidbeantiful pair. of Shanghai fowls, to breed from ; andas | he. was to remain in town ontil evening, he sent the birds by a boy, with @ note to a friend of his, living at the Albion, re | questing that he would take charge of the | chickens until the afternoen, as be had some matters of business that would de- tain him; he also told the boy to say he would dine with him at 4 o'clock. | The boy delivered the towls, bot forgot _ the note, and simply remarked, “Here's a | ’ pair of rousing big chichkens Mr. M—s | sent you, ard says he will dine with you, at 4 o'clock” The gentleman, supposing his friend, | (who, by the way, knows a bawk from a handsa w, and a canvass back from a broil ed owl !) bad sent him something extra, or- | dered them to be given to the cook, with | directions that they be killed and dressed | at once, as he had a friend to dine with | him at 4 that P.M. The order was ac: | cordingly obryed, and at the appointed | time the dinner served. After imbibing | sundry “wine bitters,” as a sharpener to | their appetites, they sat down, and the! Shanghai owner was requested to carve ; | and as he was dissecting these enormous | “cute members of the Hen Convention,” | he pas to his friend, | * You have an extraordinary fine pai of chickens here 7” ee “ Yes.” answered the other, “they cre an indifferently good sized pair of birds; they were sent to me by a mutual friend of ours.” “Indeed, were they? a devilish clever fellow he must be, Jim ; a very pretty pres- ent, this, and | declare they are the most delicious flavor lever tasted, and as juicy, too, as # canvass back ?” And so be costinued prhising tha! r: flavor-of the chickensu Mit anes rea taken care of a.couple of botiles of Scbrie. ders and while chattering over their bat: tle of sherry, and enjoying their regalias, the owner of the Shanghais said, (By the bye, Jim, what dit’y ou think of my hen purchase this morning ?” * Why, Bill, I thing they were most de. licious, and wish you would dine with me every day in the week, if-you will send me such chickens.” ‘Buch chickens !” screeched Bill_as the pe pati across bis mind that he m possibly have been eating his own Shanghais.

Boston, January 5, 1852. THE HOUSE MIT A BIG CHIMNEY. About a year ago, the proceedings of the Washington Monument Society, at Washington, received a sudden impetus. Among other measures adopted to procure sufficient funds for the completion of the edifice, was that of appointing an agent in each Congressional! District throughoat the United States, who were furnished with lithographs of the fature monument which were presented to such gentlemen as chose to subscribe. One of the gentlemen called one day at the house of a very wealthy farmer in the upper end of Dauphin county, Pa; The whole family were soon assembled to look at the beautiful pictures. In the mean- time the agent exerted all his eloquence to induce the steady old German to™ plank his tin.” He portrayed the services of Washington to his country ; he dwelt in glowing terms upon the gratitude we should feel for them. Suddenly the farmer broke silence :— ~ What is all this for?” The agent began again— - “ You know who Washington was 7?” » Yes, he was the first President; he licked the British, didn’t he 7” * Yes, that’s the man; and this monu ment is to be erected as a fitting testimo- nial of the eternal gratitude of his coun- trymen,” &e. The anticipated subscriber studied the plate attentively. ** Well,” said he, “| wont pay any thing towards it; I don’t see any use to build a house mit such a big chimney !” The agent immediately “ dispersed.” Tue Spirits Departed. —Some time since we oviiced that several believers in the new spirvual rapping revelations bad gone from Madison and adjoining counties to Virginia, in obedience to the commands of the rappers.— It is said that they have formed a distinct set. tlement at Mountain Cove, Fayette county, in that State, where they have purchased $14,000 worth of farming lands. Since the location of | the firs: party other families have fulluwed.— | Among those who are well known as leaders of the sect at Auburn are Rev. Dr. Scott, 1.3. Hyatt, the priater, Mrs. Benedict, and Messrs. Rash, Wilson, avd Coltrell. -'The papers * dic. tated by the Spirits” heretofore published in Auburn are to be revived in this New Mecca ol a new religion.

A Lirrte Monsrer.—The Siate Bank of Indiana maintains a circulation of $4.681.993, the largest, we believe, of any one institution in the country, though the Bank of Kentucky and Northern Bank of Kentucky taken together are larger. ‘The field of circulation out of their respective Staies is the same with all three, viz. [Minois, Missouri, and the part of Southern Ohio, and the river trade of Mississippi. They are respectively supported by a fair amount of specie. The Indiana Bank has $1.287,215. Buffalo Courier. Return of Encke’s Comet.—By a note from W. C. Bond, Esq., Director of the Harvard Observatory at Cambridge, we learn that this singular and interesting comet is again visible. Nearly. thirty years have elapsed since the period of re- volution of this comet was discovered by M. Encke, of Berlin, whose name it bears to be about forty months, or a little more than three years. Its recent returns have therefore been caretully observed by as. tronomers, as by them the truth of the the- ory of a resisting medium, proposed by M. Encke, will probably be ascertained.— Mr. B. says it is coming towards the earth, and we shall see more of it it the clouds do not prevent.— Boston Traveller. _ Phenomenon.—On Tuesday night. about nine o’cluck, such of the citizens of Phil- adelphia as were in the streets and had the courage to look alofi—no very easy | taskyta those-unprovided with gdm sbéés, the’ necessity of picking one's sf e ing the eyes down wards—had pete 6 nity to witness a fall of snow from a clear sky. There were at the moment clouds at the nortb,.not extending higher, howe v- er, than thirty or thirty-five degrees above the horizon. The stars Were shineing in the zenith, and the flakes fell perpendicu- larly.— N, American, Kossuth’s Mother not Dead.—The lates advices from Pesth, dated December 20, state that the report which had been in circulation that the mother of Kossuth had deceased, was entirely erroneous.— This statement is confirmed by the Vien. pee papers. , “? CULAR SAW MILLLS, promptness, and, therefore solicit « share of "public pe. tronage. . They manufacture mills of three drfferent sites. ‘The “ first class” is so constructed, by the conjunctive action of two circular saws, one from above, and the other from below, us 16 enable it to cat’ timber of Jorge di- mensions, viz: of 43 inches in diameter. This saw milf with a t2 borse ad bot in rise sicemadee tusks fone 72 ‘cut 5 A svies WOR 000 to 10 feet ofdu rday,and, with plenty of bands es ea ood snd og The “second class” Saw mill, adjusted with’ saw, with a 12 horse power engine: and boiler, lee im oll ite ce stack, costa $1535; ak hha vert ay ite price 1,905. from. 6,000 to 8,000 feet,per day. The “ thisd class” Saw mil! adjusted with one saw, with a 10 horse power engine and boiler, camplete in all its parts, except smoke-stack, costs $1,820; with smoke-stack, $1 AHO. 1: can cut from 5,000 to 6,000 feet a day. All of these mills are calculat¢d for steam or water power, while the last is well adapted to ve worked by horse power. They are made of the very best mpte- rials, by the most skilfal workmen, simple in their prin- ciples, of great strength, power, and efficiency, and made with due regard far effective service and durabili- ty. They can be removed fram one place to anather with strong teams are easily managed, and not liable, when properly) managed, to get out of repeir, It is saying less of ‘them than they deserve, to affirm, that they can each with the same power, cut more than double the Sa iig of amber Alief cae bé cot by an Up and: Down, or Gang Saw—cut it with a trathfal line evenly and emooth. Unless otherwise ordered, the subscribers’ Saw mills are all adjasied with saws cf 48 inches diameter, 12 feet carriage, 24 feet ways. The second class mill can carry with ease any saw up to 60 inches—54 iaches they look upon as the most desirable size. The third class mil! can carry cither a 48, 50 or 52 inchsaw advan- tageously. The eost of one of their“ third clags’” Mille and horse power, all complete, is $540—without the herse pow- er, $350. It can cut with 4 horses, from 1,000 to I,- 500 feet, with 6 horses, from 1,800 to 2,500 feet per day. Engines and boilers contracted to be built by the subscribers, are so constructed as to burn the slabs,—a great advantage. Where more carriage than 12 feet are ordered, $3 per foot, extra, ischarged for each foot over that num- ber. If a larger saw than 48 inches is ordered, the dif- ference is charged exira,—ifa less saw is required, the difference in price is deducted. With slight additional expense for fixtures, their Saw mills can be adjusted to make shingles and laths. The sabscribers seize this occasion to say, that no person other than themselves in, or out of North Caro- lina, has any authority directly, or indirectly, to con- struct their mills for sale, or use, in said State. They, therefore, caution the public against purchasing any Circular Saw Mill involving the same principle as that of Page’s Portable Patent Saw Mill, as, by so doing, they will render themselves liable to be sued for dam- ages, by action of trespass, as well as by injunction.— They deem this caution necessary, as from certain ad- vertisements transmitted to them by one of their agents, it is evident that certain parties are bent upon viola- ting the rights granted to the subscribers by letters pa- tent from the United States Gavernment. The undersigned have seen, with surprise, the state- ment made in North Carolina papers, that McKinstry’s mills had taken the premium at the Maryland State Fair. So far from such being the fact, they unbesita- tingly affirm, that that gentleman Neves exhibited a saw mill at the Fair of the Maryland Syte Agricultural So- ciety in his life ; and they have too good an opinion of truth, to believe that the statement in question was made either with his consent or knowledge. Persons disposed to purchase are referred to the sub- scribers’ Agent, JOHN M. ROSE, Esq., Fayetteville North Carolina. For terms, &c. applications by letter to the sullscrib- ets’ POST-PAID, will be promptly attended to, as wellfas for parnphlets containing every possible kind of inform- ation relative to their mills, as well ag various other ma- chines made by them.

I proved every thing, and explained every thing. It was all in vain... Months rolled on, He continued in the same state. It was impossible to discover or conjec- ture what kept him from Christ. His con- dition filled me with solicitude ; but] ‘stud- ied it in vain. I made inquiries about him among his friends and neighbors to learn, it. possible, his whole disposition and his character of mind. But I soon discovered, as | thought, that I knew him better than any body-else. _More than six months after. he began to give his prayerful attention to his salva. tion, as I was riding towards his house, Just at a turn in the road, where it wound round a bill, which hindered our seeing éach other till we were close together, | suddenly met him. He was riding in his one-horse wagon towards the village. stopped my horse to speak to him, and | thought he appeared dispo8ed to pass on. But as the road was narrow, and | had stopped my carriage, the wheels of our vehicles almost touched each other, and he could not well get by. We had a long conversation as we sat in our carriages, in that retired and romantic spot. But | descerned no change in his religious feel ings. He wasas determined, but as hope- less as ever. At length my eye happened to rest on a brown jug, which would contain about two gallons, and which was lying on its side, under the seat of his wagon. The thought came into my mind that he might be accustomed to stimulating drinks, and that that might be an injury and a hin- drance to him in his religious endeavors, I had never heard or suspected that he was an intemperate man. Probably the idea never would have occurred to me that strong drink might be his hindrance, had J not been utterly unable to account for his stationary condition in respect to re- ligion. I instantly resolyed to speak to him on that subject. But it was an awk- ward business. I did not know how to begin. I would not insult him, and I did not wish to injure his feelings. He was an old man, near sixty—old enough to be my father. And to suggest the idea that he might be guilty of any excess, would seem to be cruel and uncalled for. But] thought it my duty to make some inquiry. So | began: ~ Mr. E.,where are you going this morn- ing 7 “ Tam going tothe village—to the store.” *T see you have got a jug there, under your seat ; what are you going to do with that ?” - He cast his eye down upon it, a little confused, for an instant, as | thought; but he immediately replied :— “| am going to get some rum in it ?” « Are you accustomed to drink ram ?” “]T never drink any to hurt me.” “You never drink any to do you any good.” “I have thought it did, sometimes. I don’t drink much.” * Do you drink every day ?” “No, not every day, commonly. We had none to use in the field, this year, in all our haying, till we came to the wet meadow ; when the boys said we should get the fever, if we worked with our feet wet, and bad nothing to drink.” “ So you have used it, since that time. You carry it into the field. I suppose ?” “ Yes ; we commonly do, in haying and harvest.” “ Well; at other times of the year, do you keep it on band, in your bouse r “Yes; I always keep it. Butitis only a little that I drink ; sometimes a glass of bitters, in the morning,—or, when I am not well, and feel that [ need something.” « Mr. E., when you are perplexed, annoy- ed, or in some trouble ; do you sever take a drink, on that account ?” “lam very apt to. It seems to keep me up.” “ Well, now, just tell me: for a good many months back, since you have been troubled on the subject of religion, have you been accustomed to resort to it, * to keep you up?” “Yes; at times. I feel the need of it.” “In my opinion, that is the worst thing, my dear friend, that you could do my “ Why. I only drink a little, at home. ] have not carried it into the field, except in baying time.” : “So I understand it. . But one question more: Have you not often, athome, when you have felt down-cast in mind, on ac- count of sin, taken a drink, because you felt thas troubled ?” ; «} believe I have done it some times. Lcannot tell how often. Lnever thought mach about it.” I had become.convineed by this time, that he was, at least, in dan- ger; and that it was not at all an impro- bable' thing, that ‘his: drinking just kept months, sensible of his need | him’ fram repentance.” I: told hym'so; atid Save him. and -erful ith all my. ity and pow- me and prayerful for | them began, with all my sagacity po io’ ms hae him and conversed |.er of persuasion, to, induce bimto qait all es.

Shon hecerd tees old borse, as ifhe was impatient, to start on, and get out of the way of a lecture which he disbelieved. After a time, however, and. while I was stating to him some facts within my own knowledge, to show the aselessness of strong drink, he became apparently inter- ested-in what | was saying. He listened, and | wenton with my plea. As] explain- od the effect of intoxicating drink upon the mind,and upon the feeling and the conscience of men, he hang down his head, and appeared to be lost in thought. After a while, as] kept talking, he cast a glance at his jug; then looked up; and then bis eyes fell back ypon his jug again. I kept ranpening — him; bat he did not look at me any longer,—he did not r to be thinking of what 1 was lent He appeared rather to be engaged in deep thought ; and his eye often turned upon his jag. By-and-by he slowly reached down his hand, and took hold of it. With a very solemn countenance, and without saying a word,—(he had not spoken for half on bour)—he placed the brown jug upon his knee. | talked on, watching his appeared nat to believé me at 7 o T| silent motions, He turned his head very deliberately around, one way and the oth- er, as if he were looking for something ; his eyes glancing here and there, as if he did not see what he desired. I kept on talking to him. Just at the spot where we were, the road swept politely round a large huge stone, or side of a rock, which rose about ten feet above the path; and as those who built the road could not get it out of the way, the path made rather a short turn round it. This rock was within three feet of his wagon. His eye fixed upon it, and then glanced back to the jug upon his knee. Then he looked at the rock, and then at his jug again. and then at me.— And thus his eye continued to wander from one to another of these three objects, as if it could not get beyond them. At first, | was in some doubt which of the three was the most attractive to his eye,—the rock, the brown jug, or myself. But in a lit- tle time | noticed that his eye rested on the brown jug longer than on me. At length [ was lost sight of altogether, (though | continued talking to. him.) and his eye glanced backwards and forwards, from the brown jug tothe rock, and from the rock to the brown jog. All this time he Maintained an unbroken silence, and | kept on with my lecture. Finally he seized the poor jug by its side, wrapping the long fingers of his right hand half round it, and slowly rising from his seat, he stretched up histall frame to its full length, and lifting the brown jug aloft, as high as his arm could reach, he hurled it, with all his might, against the rock, dashing it into a thousand pieces.— “Whoa! whoa! whoa!” (said he to the old.) “Hold on here. Whoa! whoa! Turn about here. Whoa! We will go home now.”—The horse had suddenly started forwards, frightened at the clatter of the brown jug, and the pieces which bounded back against his legs and side. The start was very sudden; and as my long friend was standing up, it came near to pitch his tall figure out of the wagon backwards. However, he did not fall.— As he cried “ whoa! whoa!” he put back his long arm upon the side of the wagon, and saved himself. He soon stopped his old horse; and deliberately turning him round in the street, till he got him headed towards home, he put on the whip, and without saying a word to me, or even cast- ing a parting look, he drove off like Jehu. | drove on after bim as fast I could; but I could not catch him. He flew over the road. And when I past his house, about a mile from the jug-rock, he was stripping off the harness, in a great hurry. We exchanged a parting bow, as | drove by ; and I never spoke to him about rum after- wards. Within a single month from this time, that man became, as he believed, a child of God. His gloom and fears were gone; and he had peace by faith in Jesus Christ. the spot, where such a catastrophe came upon the jug, and where my long friend came so near to be toppled out of his wag- on; I noticed that some one had gathered up some pieces of the unfortunate brown jug, and placed them high ap, on a sboul- der of the rock. I saw them lying there many times afterwards ; and thought that my friend had probably placed them there, as an affecting memorial. He might have done a worse thing. From the Soil of the South. THE SCIENCE OF AGRICULTURE. We have said that agriculture has be- come a science. That we are right in this, all men of intelligence will ‘admit ; although, no doubt, many of our old far- mers would shrug their shoulders at the idea of sending their sons to school toJearn they should not think strange of this.— Instead. of being a routine of drudgery. as -in ages past, farming is becoming & most delightful profession, and has already en. listed in its ranks the first intellects of the world. The’ day ‘has come ‘when the sciéntifie farmer takes’a bigh ‘rank in the world ‘of inteflect. 5” About a month afterwards, as I passed | pe bow to manage their farm! However, ( SALISBURY,..'N: C.i THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 12, 1862.00.00. seen Some of our readers, we presume, will pooh at these book ‘farmers, aad nie in in what these scientific principlés of farm- ing consist ? What these wonderful dis- coveries are? But a few reflections ought to do away with all sarprise upon this subject. Let the old-fashioned farmer ask himself why it is that some pieces of land will praduce @ better crop of oats, cora or wheat than others. Or why is it that kernel of corn placed in the ground will spring up, grow to a great height, and produce a large bulk of the same material? From what are the large stalks, leaves and ears of corn produced? How can the farmer an- swer this question? No one substance exists in the ground to spring up myster- iously in this way. The most slight ob. server is forced to suy that the stock and grain is taken from the atmospbere, and drawn from the water and gases in the earth by the roots which extend them- selves in every direction from the grain planted. The water so taken up by the roots is charged with mineral and vege- table substances, and by a process similar to that by which nature changes food ta- ken into the stomach into flesh, they are converted into-the growing plant. To learn exactly what these materials taken up by the roots and grain are, is the first step in agricultural science: and if this can be found ont, is there a farmer in the world who would hesitate to say that the discovery would be of the highest im- portance? By finding this out he would at once see that he would have a guige in selecting the soils and preparing them for any required crop. Soils vary. All are not formed of the same materials.— Neither are grains all composed of the same principles in the same _ proportions. The soil that will nourish one kind, will not sustain another. The chemist is able to separate all the parts of a plant, and tell us of what they are composed. This has been done re- peatedily. The corn plant, of which we have been speaking, is found to be com- posed of the following materials, viz: when green and growing, about 89 or 90 parts in a bundred of water ; of carbonic acid ; silica or flint ; sulphuric acid ; phos- Phoric acid; lime; magnesia; potash ; soda, and chlorine, the principal substan- ces of all plants. The proportions of the above substances, saving water, are not given, as the allusion to the composition plants is only made to show of what they are formed. Perhaps it is well to say that the substances most abounding in the green stalk, after separating the water, are silica, phosphoric acid and soda. Pot- ash abounds in the blade ; but is far more abundant in the ripened kernel. Conse- quently it is seen that ashes are a good mauure for this plant, and the experience of farmers bas confirmed the indications of chemical analysis. The foregoing observations lead to im- portant inquiries and considerations. The substances which form a blade of grass, or a vegetable plant, are all conveyed to them through the medium of gases and water. The mineral parts are of course dissolved by the water flowing through the soil, and arrested by the roots of the plant, and thus converted into vegetation. Thus we see, why. in order to be productive, the water must have a free circulation through the soil ; as when it is otherwise, the mineral substances are not so easily dissolved and circulated, and the air is ex- cluded, leaving the land wet with cold and sour. And bere we see that drain- age is another confirmation of the indica- tions of chemical analysis. . We propose bere to state another indi- cation of chemical analysis, which has been sustained by experience of farmers, although the course indicated is, plowing. The idea is, that by putting the plow down deep, more soil and mineral substances are brought to the surface, exposed to the atmosphere and water, and thus decom- and rendered nutriment for plants. Deep plowing is called for by the princi- ples of agricultural science, and is sus- tained by well tested experiments.— There can be no question, other things be- ing equal, but that one acre of soil, twelve inches deep. Try it farmers ; plow dee- r and a little less of it, and if you do not find the practice here advised to your profit, you will not be likely to find it great- ly to your loss. From the Southern Cultivator. PLOW DEEP AND PLANT SHAL- LOW. Ms. Enrror: Io looking about me this year, | have noticed a great number of farmers in this part of the country break- ing up their lands about ten inches deep, and planting their corn nearly as deep—as is the old adage with = « Plow — and ant deep—bot plant deep anyhow. — New. sir, do you et know that this is a mistake ? If you don’t, | do know that it is as broad a mistake as was ever made by intelligent farmers, because I have tried it and I knpw it by experience. My rule is to plow deep, and plant shallow, contrary to the recommendation of sev- eral “ Agricultoral pers”) and! will give you my reason for so doing. I plow deep (subsoil from fifteen totwenty inches) so as to get as much clay on top as poss ible, which will, through a chemical pro- cess, torn to soil ; and to turn the soil on- der the clay, in which I intend. for the redts of corn to grow. I bavethe rows in 4 ffabout telnzi vt which I intend planting run our inches deep ; by this means] secure the richest soi for y corn ee re in 5 and by plowing deep and planting. shal. low, IT have a deep, loose soil, and will al- Ways secure moistare to the roots of corn. The uestion might be asked: Why is it that he don’t plant his corn deep? It is this : suppose I break my land fifteen in- ches deep and plant my corn twelve? I would only have three inches of loose dirt for my corn to grow in, and more than pro- bable that would be clay, while the roots of corn would have little or.no advantage from the soil. it must be to all, that will look at the reason of the case, very ovi-, ous. I would ask some of your, readers that have their doubts about this (if they question it at all) to try the experiment next year, and inform you of the result. Wishing you great success with your pa- per, I remain, TRUTH. Effects of Ploughing in Green C as Compared with Posting thew is fara bie mon notion that herbiverous animals have some distinct and peculiar mode of action upon the various constituents of their food, by which those parts expelled as excrete are rendered more fit for the food of plants than could be the original food, rotted or decomposod in any oth- er way. It is also ordinarily received that the deposit of a number of animals fed upon an acre of any green crop will be more beneficial to the land than an acre of the same crop plow. ed in and properly decomposed in the land. For some years past, [ have endeavored to combat these opinions, but as they are still re. tained in some quarters, I intend in thie letter (o repeat my. arguments, and to give instances where practice has proved the truth of theoret- ical deductions. I shall not here argue as to the amonnt of profit and loss attached to the mode of proceeding, as that always depends upon circumstances of which the farmer is the best judge. Nor shall [ attempt to prove that, under all possible circumstances, to plough in a green crop will give a greater produce than to feed it off. For in case of exceedingly light lands, the mechanicabhaction of the treading of the feet of the sheep, however, is, that under general circumstances, in ordinary soils, the ploughing in of any green crop, and its subse- quent decomposition in the soil, will give more manure to that soil than if the crop had been off; and that the effect of this great amount of manure will be seen in the subsequent crops. The arguments in proof may be stated as fol- lows: Firstly: It is well established that animals in breathing give back more tothe air than they derive from it. They receive nitrogen and oxy- gen, and return them again, plus a certain ex- cess of nitrogen, carbonic acid and aqueous vapor. Animals also transmit to the air much insensible and sensible perspiration. Secondly : The experiments of Bousingnault and others have shown that the liquid and solid excrements of animals weigh much less than the food from which they have beén derived, and that as regards the food, excrete are defi. cient in nitrogen, carbon and hydrogen. Thirdly : It is well known that animals con- sume a considerable portion of the farinaceous and oleaginous portions of their food fur the production of animal heat, and the greater por- tion of the excess is laid up in the form’ of fat; part of the nitrogenous portion is consumed by the voluntary and involuntary motions of the muscles, and part forms fresh flesh for the growing animal. Of the inorganic matters of the food, a portion is required for the formation of bone. It is, therefore, quite clear that there “must be less manuring matter in the etcre. ments than in the food, of which they are mere- ly the unconsumed remains—the ashes. Fourthly : It is known that animal and ve. getable substances are composed of the same original elements ; that all particles have had vegetable life that though the proximate chang. es and combinations of their aliments are most innumerable, yet that the results of the ulti. mate decomposition of animal and vegetable matter in contact With air are the same. Fifthly : ‘To sum up; if, as it has been prov- ed, the excreitz of animals weigh less than the food they bave eaten; if there is a diminution of the most valuable of the ingredients in pas- sing the animal; and if in their ultimate de- composition, the food and excre\z# give the same products, it follows that the products of the de- composition of the original food will be great- est in quantity and richest in quality ; but prac- tical experiments are, in this instance, so ea- sily made, that [ should be wrong it I omitted to mention some of the numerous facts which experimentally prove the truth of my assertions. Mr. W. Trumper, Mr. Oakley, and others, have forwarded me the results uf trials made on their respective farms.

Rrrors in Composing Farm Manures.—The farmer’s manure heap is usually the receptacle for every substance tbal has served its original purpose ; but it is a mistaken idea that every. thing thrown in there will serve a useful pur- pose. We may, however, just say here that this error bas considerably influenced farm practice. Belief in the alchymy, rather than the chemistry of the farm-yard, bas led some persons to cart soil into the manure yard, and to carry it back again with the dung tothe very field from which it was taken ; adding materi- ally to the bulk and expense of the manuring. They presumed that they added to its valve, but the effect of the earth upon the farm yard manure would be merely to retain decomposi- tion, and thus might be a loss or a gain, ac- eording to the circumstances of the soil and the crup. pipeinet subsiance, offal, and fish of every de- scription, are also very unprofiiably applied to farm-yard manure.

It cannot fail to have been noticed by the public, that the Democratic prints, and letter writers, have latterly been speaking of Mr. Clay in terms, and in a spirit, such as we have not before heard from them in relation to that dis. tinguished man. ‘They are uttering the deep. est regrets, that his mortal career is threaten- ed to be elosed before long ; and they bestow upon the sick lion a meed of praise and opprov- al, not so high indeed as his noble qualities entitle him to, but such as that party bas not suffered to escape them til] lately, We have no doubt, that this admiration and regret are sincere. We have as little doubt, that the admiration, even higher than they now choose to utter, has always been felt by them. What a contrast does the tone of their press, and the language of their party, now, present to that we constantly beard from them in all time past! Every body remembers the bitterness of spirit, the rancour of party malig. nity, the violence of denunciation, with which these sympathisers and admirers of the great patriot and statesman used to assail him; how they tasked their invention, and strickled at no misrepresentation, to blacken that name which belongs so il!ustriously to our national fame.— How they accomplished by it a temporary suc- cess, the country well knows, and we fear will long bave cause to lament. Their present admitation of bis exalted char- acter is‘a striking commentary, by themselves, on their previous course.

We are all at sea on the Pacific side of the world—all in a stale of uncertainty and confusion—norh- ing from nothing fixed, and, by all appear: ance, not likely 1u be for a long tiaie to be ; , Jn Oregon the seat of Government is a ect for speculation. No one knows where it is. The legislature and the Su- preme Court are divided upon it—the for- mer holding it to be at Salem, and the lai- ter at Oregon City. Both of these branch- esare also divided among themselves upon the point—a majority of the Legis. lature being now in session at Salem, and a minority in Oregon City.

A Settlers’ and Miners’ Convention is proposed to be held shortly, for the par. pose of taking into consideration the vari- ous questions affecting their interests, and taking such action upon them as may be- deemed most advisable. A difficulty arose last week between 1wo quartz mining companies, at Carson's Hill, which, at one time, threatened seri- ous consequences. |t was caused by a decision of the County Judge, of Calaveras county, in favor of one of the parties. by which certain rights and privileges claim- ed hy the ‘other, were not recognized.— The latter held a meeting, and published a series of resolutions condemnatory of what they termed “an unconstitational in- terference with their rights ;” and thas the matter rests for the present.

THE CHIRSTIANA TRIALS. From the Baltimore Clipper. The Report of Attorney General Brent, of Maryland. does not present in a favor able light the conduct pursued by the judge and others in the Christiana Trials ; and, from the statement of Mr. Brent, we should inter that there is little chance of having justice administered in Philadel pbia, in the case of the owner ol a slave being killed in the effort to recover his property. The whole of the persons con- eerned in the murder of Mr. Gorsuch, of Baltimore county, have escaped punish- ment, and there is no prospect that any of them willever be brought to justice. We wish that every citizen of Maryland could be putin possession of Attorny General Breut’s report of the Christiana Treason Trial; for its perusal would assist in bring: ing the public mind to the conclusion that same action should be saken on the course pursued towards owners in pursuit of fu- gilive slaves in Pennsylvania. A large portion of the report consists in a legal argument in opposition to the rul ing of the Court in relation to what con stituted treason. But the following para. graph shows that two principal witnesses were designedly permitted to escape. whilst a thrid was induced to perjure him. self. “It also exhibits the disgusting spec tacle of white females associating with and encouraging the negro men charged with being concerned in the murder: * In this connexion | will also state that a few weeks belore the trial Peter Wash- ington and John Clark, two important wit- nesses for the prosecution, escaped trom prison without breaking a lock or using any force, as proved on the trial by a wit- ness; and though | cheerfully acquit the marshal of all privity with their escape, yetthe fact remains that there was treachery on the part of some officer with. in the walls of the prison. Another re. markable fact was the corruption of a Government witness, by the name of Har. vey Scott, a free negro, who had thrice testified—once at Christiana, and at Lan. caster, and once at Philadephia—to the fact of being an eye-witness to the mur der of Mr. Gorsuch; and now, on this trial. influenced by bribes or some other corrupt consideration, when placed on the stand by the United States, openly con- fessed that he had thrice commitied per- jury, and then swore on his trial that he was not present and knew nothing about the affair, which perjury was received witb open applause in the court room. * Again: the counsel for the delence applied to the Court for ah order to bring out some twenty four of the negroes, to see which of them ceuld be identified as participants in the treason, by Henry H.

Ifthe Administration party will act together in this spirit, the Opposition will discover that the people are well con- tent with peace, good neighborhood, ob- servance of their own laws, and non in- terference with the affairs of other na- tions.” THE NATURAL WALL. We find in the « Weekly Post,” of the 7th instant. the following paragraph in re- lation to the “ natural wall” in this Coun- ty. Or Will somebody tell us what has be. come of the wunderful subterranean wall in Rowan 7? Many years ago this supposed wall! was dis. covered, and attracted a great deal of attention —it was even thought worthy of a place in Ge ogtaphical descriptions of the United States, and an interesting account of it may be seen in the old Gazetteers. What has become of it 1 W bat did it prove tu he? Who can enlighten us on this subject 1” We hope some one qualified for the task will undertake to give the “ Post,” and the public, an account of this “ natur- al wall,” as it is called by the people who live in the neighborhood of it. Bat whilst we express this wish, we doubt. very much whether there is any one sufficiently in- formed on the subject to prepare any thing that would prove very interesting. We have often enquired aboot it, talked of it, and once visited it; but have never been able to obtain any very satisfactory account. The truth is. no thorongh exam. ination, we helieve, has ever been made When at the place, in 1844, we enquired of some old people near, wheth- er any extensive examination had. been made. They said that many years ago, & company of gentlemen removed the earth to the depth of some twenty or thir- ty leet, on one side of the wall: that they did not reach the foundation, if it has any : that the face of the wall was smooth and, had the appearance of having been plas- tered. This company, we were told also traced the wall for some considerable dis- tance ; bat how far we could not learn. The. place where this examination was made, is about nine ‘miles North-west of this Town. ‘A very similar formation, we have often heard, exists at_ another place some. five or six miles from here, and more tothe North. And we have heard some express the belief that it was all one and the same: several miles in extent. Not being skilled in “Geologic lore,” our own examination only resulted in dig r 000 miles; involv. ing a capital of more than three millions of dollars. © To witk these lings Costs anwuall 720 tons ‘zine, worth 57.000; auch attain ‘worth $117,000 reury, besides a cop ging out a few of the stones of which the ‘wall is composed.

Londou papers contain many particulars in relation to the dreadful loss of thia ship, and the great number of persons on board ber. With the exception of the twenty-one persons first reported to have been saved, no imelligence had been received in London of the escape of any others votil ‘Mhursday the 8th, when the Submarine Telegraph trom Paris announced the arrival at Brest on the Sin of a Dutch vessel, bringing in six passengers and nineteen of a érew of the Amagon. ‘This makes the numbes gaved nine passengers and thirty-seven of the ship’s company. [1 was hoped that others might yet have been heard of, as there were nine buals vne of whica was still unaccounted for. Of the causes which led to this terrible catas- trophe nothing is yet known with certainty.— The ealy conjecturd tbat can at present be haz. arded is that which connects with tbe outbreak of the fire the heated state of the bearings. All new ships suffer more or less in the same way until their engines get into working trim, and, as will be seen from the subjoined narrative, the Amazon was twice stopped in ber course from this ‘very cause. The gale of wind whirh was blowing, the heavy gea, and the ful! pressure of steam, all iended fo igerease the danger likely thus to arise, and the point at which the flames were first seen uppears to prove that they orig- inated in the engine room. The loss of lite, the swamping of the boats, and all the other horrors of this-afflicting event are very easily accounted for. The position of the fire rendered it impossible to get al the en. ines in order to slop them, When the ships tad was to windward the flames swept the af terdecks, where the passengers chiefly were. Beloie wind she was going at a tremenduous speed, and it is marvelous buw any of the ‘boats were launched under such circumstances and in such a sea. The following writen state. ment, by Midshipman Wirtram Vincent, has been laid by bim before the directors of the com. ny: “The Amazon was at noon of tbe 3d of Jan. in lal. 49 12N. and long. 4 57 W., from which tiave she steered W. by S. 4 S. till 9 30 P. M. of the same day, when she was stopped tu cool the bearings. At 11 20 P. M. she proceeded still steering the same course, steaming about eight and a balf knots per hour, wind and sea increasing from the windward. At forty min. utes A.M. on the 4th, smoke was observed coming through the hatchway, on the toreside of the foremostfunnel. immediately afier wards the flames burst through. The alarm was im. mediately given, and the captain and chief offi. cer came on deck. The firehose and thuckets of water were brought to play on the fire, but that together witb the altesapt to, stop the en. gine was ineffectual. ‘The helm was put bard to starboard to put ber before the wind, but it was some time before she paid off. The mail boat, when lowered, was immediately swamp. ed with about twenty-five people in her, all of whom were lost. ‘he pinnvace when lowered, sheered across the sea belore the people in her could unbook the foretackle. They were there. by washed out, and the boat remained banging by the bow. While clearing away the second cutter a sea struck her and raised ber off the cranes and unhooked the bow-tackle. The fore. end immediately fell down, and the people in her, with the exception of (wo, who bung doub- led over the thwarts, were precipitated into the sea and drowned. Sisteen men including two passengers succeeded in clearing away and low. ering tbe life- boat on the starboard side. ‘They used every endeavor to save those in the water, but were swept past so rapidly that their exer. tions were without avail, At about the same time I, (Mr. Vincent.) with the chief steward, one passenger, and two seamen, got into and | lowered the dingy, and were picked up by the life-boat about balf an hour afierwards, wheo we immediately took the small boat in tow, and stood down for the ship; but the wind and sea increasing, and the dingy being upset. and our. selves being nearly swamped, were obliged to let the small boat yo, and keep the life-boat with her bead to the sea. _ Whilst lying to a barque passed astern of us, and was accordingly bailed, and did I believe answer, but did nothing of any kind to assist us, but stood duwn to leeward of the ship, bauled on a wind, and went away.— ‘There was now on our quatier a boat with | fivemen in ber, (supposed to be the gi ‘we could not from the severity of rorya be yu a ot st le Cc e the realities of the past seéai more ident with your existence than {hose ‘ The counsels aed cbidings, and the affections almost faded from you, one’s owe charmed cir- cle being as yet unbroken. back with appaling distinetness and pestilence feeling most smile at the pertubation ‘of ihe youlbful The then polifical news, with the marriages of public appéaranee of the rising scholar, (now “ old times ”’ most vividly. efforts and self denial are spoken of with satis. faction, have led since then a bright career of usefulness, while many an honored name, then prominent, has disappeared from the list of the living. ‘Che loving and the loved are scattered scarce could be, without frequently seeing each Prisoners.—We fiod in the Mobile Register a lates some of the particulars of the expedition and of its final.result, and concludes his state. ment as follows: so it ought to have ended. raised through decepiion, where young men of no experience in affairs of this sort are induced through false representations to join in a revo- lution, God’s curse ought to be upon il, aad tbe leader should be made to suffer such torments as none but demons could invent. most itinvcent in this case have been made to suffer two men who worked harder to get up the ex. pedition than any others, were, by order of Captain General released at Havana.

And here, apparently in allusion to Mr. Clay's conviction of our being unable to effect any thing in a European war, he spoke of the material aid which might be rendered Turkey in a war with Russia by a naval force for the protection of ber capital.— After a series of entertaining and instructive re. marks about the condition and prospects of Eu rope generally, be rose to depart. Mr. Clay rose and bade him farewell forever, with the utmost cordiality and the kindliest sym. pathy beaming in his face and suffusing his eye; and grasping Kussuth’s hand, he said, * God bless you and your family! God bless your country——may sbe yet be free |” Kossuth apparently overwhelmed by the warm and earnest sympathy thus exhibited lor bimselt, his suffering family and country, profoundly bowing. pressed Mr. Clay’s hand to his heart, and replied in tones of deep emotion, * I thank you, honored sir! I sball pray for you every day that your health may be restored, and that God may prolong your life!" Mr, Clay’s eyes filled with tears; he ayain pressed the band which clasped his own probably for the lasttime bul he could say no more. Thus closed one of the most interesting scenes it has ever been the fortune of the wri- ler to witness. Two such men rarely meet in this world. ‘The one, having finished the course of his destiny, having lived and acted through the better part of his country,s lifetime, and with its growing greatness and renown having a. chieved his own; the sun of his glorious career just going down in unclouded brilliancy, and sending back the rays of its declining glory upon a happy land; the other still acting, still huping and fearing, his star just rising amid storms and clouds and darkness ; before him, all the vicissitudes of an uncertain future for himself and for his country: the one, like a prophet of old, proclaiming the principles of the | fathers of his country to whom he was shortly to be gathered—shose principles, living by which that country had achieved her greatness ; the other, like a scholar, listening to caich the words of wisdom, and hear the lessons of experience, which should be treasured up, xod which might yet one day profit his country in her pupilage ; to portray that seene aright would challenge the skill of the poet and the painter. The writer would rival, too, the art of a Handel and a Hay. den, could he transmit to this paper the sweet maJancholy cadences of the voice of the Hunga. rian exile, sounding like the low melancholy wail of the stricken children of freedom ; or the trumpet toned voice of the old statesman, gath. ering some of its ancient strength, and ringing almost as full and sonorous as when in days of old its clarion peal sounded its note of cheer and éourage to a nation in its triumphal march \o glory and to greatness. i | war in which we could-e sides the Besides, has mes. le, wher. | tuwards struggle country. @ to pro- estion of er of her r, let us ration of ith great y. or the And in. larations he Pres. tle avail, determi. you pro. thing tor y!?

We have been not 9 little amased by it, for no one can fa to be amused at the as. sumption and arrogance which Mr. Davis manifests whenever he appears in public. The Joe Miller speculation. of buying a man at the price he sets upon himself, could never have worked more favorably in its original’ application than it would in the case of Mr. Davis. ‘He commenced by expressing his grat- ification at the manifestations around bim of the “reunion. of all Democrats” * for the support of Democratic priaciples.”— These manifestations must have been sin- gularly local and limited, and at all events | ‘they failed to modify Mr. Davis's hostili- ' ty to his late colleague, whom he denoun- ces inthis very speech. A “re-anion” of - the Democracy. of Mississippi, with Mr. Foote lett, out of the compact, would dook nough; and yet this seems to he essential nourish. The nd.would ough my 8 the ex. its neck tutions in we have the world ment. Otherwise it seems to os that in this affectionate “family resnion” Mr. Davis would hardly have indicated“Fraud and Falsehood, and Freesoil, and Footé, and Fillmore,” as the agents of the late temporary and corrupt success of the Un- ion party in Mississippi. tad Mr. Davis deciared himself to'be in fa vor of disregarding all local questions and differences, and uniting on the “old plat. form” of national politics, and going “shoul- der to shoulder” into the approaching con- test for the election of a President. The ex Senator has profited by the recent’ de- monstration among the Democratic mem- bers of Congress in caucus assembled.— He might readily imagine that such a scheme would work well in Mississippi, when he saw Preston King and Venable. Meade and .Molony, Rantoul and Orr, co- operating kindly at Washington, and bent upon standing “ shoulder to shoulder” in the coming Presidential election. By the “old plattorm” Me, tional bunk” and adiiz iff.”and if he can ma other issues fromthe | ‘they have no. di yield to their opponents, There are several. tion that do not figure in any “old plat. form” of the Democracy,.and whieh Mr. Jefferson Davis and his triends cannot es- cape. One of these is the rightof peace. able secession—which is set ap by the State Rights men—and is now the sub. ject of a bitter quarrel between the De- mocracy proper of the South and the Washington Union. This question can- not well be kept out of the canvass by any such “ obsolete idea” asa National Bank. Then the issue of intervention or.non-in- tervention will be presented, and the peo- ple will have a chance to say whether they are disposed to pursue the polity of Washington, or to tollow in the footsteps of the filibustering advocates of Cuba ex peditions and Kossuth lions. The Whigs will crave the judgment of the people, we apprehend, on both these points ; and since we were expressly informed by Mr. Meade and we beliéve by Mr. Polk, that the question of acquiescence in the Compro mise had been adjourned over from the Democratic Caucus to the Baltimore Con. vention, we apprehend that it will either be acted on by the convention, and ad- journed over to the people. All these living questions must be met and passed upon by the masses, and will control the result of the election. The idea of moving the American People of the present day by a silly outcry from an ~ old platform” of unmeaning generalities, is all nonsense, when they have practical questions to deal with of sach moment as are presented in the Alabama Union re- solutions which we published yesterday, and to which we would call the attention ot the Secessionists and abolitionized De- mocracy.— The Republic. THE WOMEN SAVED FROM THE AMAZON. A correspondent of the London Times, wri- ting from Southampton under date of the 13th January, gives the subjoined narrative relative to the escape of two of the female passengers ? from the burning steamer * Amazon : “ The escape of Mrs. Maclennan was almost a miraculous one. She was twice separated from her child, an infant of tender age ; yet the courage she displayed in recovering it, in the midst of the scenes of borror attending the ra pid conflagration of the ship, shows the endu. ring love of a mother, which no circumstances of danger to herselt could cause her to forget. We regret to add that the husband of Mrs. Macleunan is among tbe fearful list of the miss ing by this terrible catastrophe. She, howev. er, entertains a firm conviction that Mr. Mac. lennan escaped in one of the boats which bas | yet to be accounted for, and we understand ex- presses an expectation that he may yet be beard of. Mrs. Maclennan is severely bruised, and her health is considerably shaken by the fearful sufferings through which she has pass ed. On landiog at Southampton to-day she was powerfully affected. “Miss Smith, the other female passenger, has displayeda heroism and intrepidity through- out these painful scenes which place ber almost in the rank of Grace Darling. She ie a very prepossessing young lady, and we understand took a passage by the Amazon to join a family in Porto Rico, with whom she bad obtained the appointment of governess. Mise Smith states thal, afier having retired to reat on the eventful night, she was aroused by a sudden noise and a cry of ‘fire!’ She rushed out of her berth in her night dress, but was met by some gen- tlemen, who conducted or carried her back to her cabin, enjoining her not be alarmed, as the flames would soon be subdued. From the ia- creasing confusion, however, she thought it beat to provide for her own safety, and accordingly obtained possession of a blanket and a petticoat (snatching up the first articles at pore) and rushed upon the deck. The appearance of mat tere there, it appears, impressed ber with the conviction that Capt, Symons had lost all con- trol over his crew, who were rapidly launch. ing the boats and getting away from the ship as fast.as they could. Miss Smith, therefore, formed the resolve of saving ber own life if possible, and set about it with ¢ coolness quite | ( extraordinary. She put on ber peiticoal, en- veloped herself in the blanket, and thea, mak- ing last one end of a rope to some part of the bulwarks of the ship, and securing the, wher end to one of her arms, she threw herself over. board with the intention of getting into one ol the boats, but il unsuccessful in this endeavor, to remain suspended as long as she could and then to drop into tbe sea, preferring death by drowning to the horrible alternative of perish. ingiby fre. by flames were rapidly approaching the part of the vessel from which she was sus. peaded, wheo Miss Smith, observing a favor able opportunity, threw herself into one ol the boats that happened to pass near her, avd which was getting away from the blazing wreck,— She fell heavily on one of the seats or thwarts of the boat, and one of the seamen fell upon her, her chest being thereby severely Bruised. She was, however, snatched from immediate death, but only to encounter the horrors and uncertainties of a stormy sea and lurious gale. fa allthe trying scenes which followed her firmness and courage never deseried ber; in lact, on several occacione she took herplace at the oars, aod helped mapfully by her bedily exertions to propel the boat, So destitute of clothing were the crew of the boat ia which this young lady was a fellow sufferer, and such an entire absence was there of any thing with which to make a signal, thal she was obliged - | fo take off her petiicont in order that it might be attached to an oar and hoisted as an emblem of distress to invite the attention of passing vessels. “ Mise Smith remains at the Royal George Hotel. It is needless to say she bas lost every thing, and is, of course, in a state of destitution. Immediately on her arrival, Mr. Aadrews (the Mayor) called upon her, and in the name of the committee pteseaied her with tea guineas, with which to supply ber immediate. wants in. the way of clothing and other necessaries. This assisiance was most gratefully received and ac- knowledged.” THE AMERICAN INDUSTRIAL EXQI. BITION. From the New York Post, of February 3. We announced a few days since that the Common Council of this city had given Mr. Riddle and bis associates a lease of Reservoir Square, on very favorable terms, for a period of five years, for the purpose of erecting on it @ suitable structure in which to make an exhi-. bition of the industry of all nations. A meet- ing was held yesterday by a few gentlemen in. \erested, or desirous of becoming interested, in the enterprise, preliminary to an application for a charter of incorporation. We understand that among the foreign at- tractions which are already promised to it are the Amazon, by Kiss, which took a Grand Council Meda! at the late London exhibition ; a colossal statue of Washington, by Maroehet- ti, whose statue of Richard Coeur de Leon also took a Council Medal ; a statue of Wealey, by Carew, and also one of the Crucifixion, exhib. ited by him in the Crystal Palace; the statue of Prometheus, by Manning ; the * Veiled fig- ure,” by Monti; a silver statue of Columbus, from the Sardinian Commissioners ; and some three hundred and filly works of art exhibited in London last summer, scarcely less interest- ing or remarkable than those we have enumer- ated. Farina, the great Eau de Cologae manufac- turer, has engaged to keep a fountain of Co- logne water playing during the entire period of the exhibition, provided the amount consumed is admitted by our Government free’ of duty, which we presume should be done as a matter of course. Ue has also engaged to exhibit ahout one hundred and fifly of the very best paintings in Dusseldorf on the same terms. Prince Albert, the Duke of Devonshire, and Sir Joseph Paxton bave also promised to be- come exhibiiers. A proper building can be erected and the goods all stored ready for exhibition, it is sup- posed, for less than 200,000 Dollars ; a sum, al filty cents a ticket, which would be reim. bursed to the exhibiters if only half of the cit. izens of New York, Brooklyn, Williamsburg, and Jersey City were to visit il once. Such an exhibition would give New Yorkers a busy and profitable summer. Hotelkeepers, steamboat, ant locomotive proprietors, omni- bus owners, &c. would have reasun to remem ber such an event forever. Protecting Letters.—Many thousands of let- lers sent to the post office as dead letters, the persons to whom they are sent not being found. These are destroyed unless they con. tain enclosures of some kind ; and ofieo intor- mation of value to the persons addressed, or their friends, is destroyed with them. We see it stated that in a new edition of the regula. tions uf the Post Office. about to be published, it is provided that in every case where the wri- ter of a Jetter chooses to protect it from the chance of being opened at the Department and destroyed as a dead letter, he can do so by pre paying the postage, and writing legibly oa the sealed side the words, “ to be pr ;” ia which case it will be rescued from the liability of being committed to the flames, and its seal will remain intact.— Nat. Int. The Trenton (New Jersey) True American mentions the appearance in tbat piace of a maa who bas just been released from tbe State Pri- son, efter a term oftwenty years. During this time the march of improvement bay been so rapid that almost every vestige of all that was familiar 1o him has been swept away. Cities and towns have growa up, railroads and tele. graphs have been established; the ocean Is navigated by steam; in short, almost every thing which to us appears old and void of nov. ehy must appear strange and wonderlul to him.

From the Spirit of the Age. . Granvitie, Co. N. C. Jan. 28, 1852. eee of the Age is an able ad- vous’ © propriety of signing ple Il hope you will permit me ttn eee propose to the entire Magistracy of North Carolina, the propriety of signing one pledge—not exactly in phraseology of that which has been so beneficial to our entire community, but asa sort of auxiliary to it. It is our daty to be a terror to evil doers, and a praise to them. that do well ; but alas! for want.of thought, we have li- censed a vecy great part of the evil that bas been done in our State, and have tax- ed the well-doers with its costs and mise- ries. It is made our especial duty to keep the peace and suppress riot, yet we have licensed the pence-breakers (in effect) to commit riot. Now, gentlemen, I propose that we just look at the subject as it is, and pledge ourselves to our country, and our ellows, and to our God, never to do this thing again, until it can be shown that the practice of granting license to sell liquors by the small measure ever has been productive of any good, or that pos- sibly some litte good may hereafter be done by it. You know, gentlemen, that we are not bound to grant license to mere grog shops, under any circumstances.— True the law permits us to grant to men of good moral character, who keep order. ly bouses the privilege, but I know of not one solitary case of such application in the space of forty years being made in Granville County ; though I admit! have often witnessed a sort of farce attempted to be played off upon the court, by intro ducing two witnesses to prove the moral character of the applicant, when the ap- plication itself is ample proof to the con- trary. “Good moral character !!!" Oh! what 8 profane prostitution of the term, when it is applied to men who traffic in human blood and human misery. Who pitties not the ragged dronkard’s son, nor cares for his helpless, neglected, ruined daugh- ter, nor heeds the bitter wailings of his beggard wife, who innocently plighted her heart and hand to him in better days ! Let us then, my dear Brother Esquires, step up to their rescue, by putting down this most frightful source of misery and ruin. But if there is one dissenting voice, I bere humbly ask him to give his reasons, and if they are good.{ shall take pleasure in acknowledging them; if not,1 will en- deavor, to refute them. Meanwhile, I remain one of your honorable Fraternity. and the oldest save one in Granville Coun- ty. W.H. W. A. THE HON. WILLIE P. MANGUM. We copy from the North Carolina Pa- triot the following article in relation to the selection of a candidate for the office of Governor of the State, and would very cordially co operate in the action, if the suggestion made should be adopted by the Whig State Convention, and the Hon. Willie P. Mangum be selected as the Whig nominee. From expressions which have fallen from him, we know that Mr. Mangum has long had an earnest desire to retire from public life. His health, too, for many morths has been feeble, for which cause he was detained at Washing- ton long after the close of the last session of Congress. But we are happy to state that when we last saw him in Hillsboro’, a short time before his return to Washing- ton to resume his duties in the present session, his health had considerably im- proved; and as he continues to occupy his seat in the Senate, we have reason to hope that the improvement is still going on, and that ere long he will again enjoy, ina good degree, his former vigorous health. If this should be the case, and he can be prevailed upon to accept the nom- ination for Governer, we have no hesita- tion in express.ng a belief, participated in by many, that he is THE MAN FOR THE CRI- sis. If hishealth would permit him to canvass the State, his clarion voice would arouse the Whigs to a degree of enthusi- asm and a unity of purpose which have not been often witnessed in North Caroli- na. We donot believe the Whig stan- dard could be committed to safer bands. Hillsborough Recorder. WHO SHALL BE THE MAN? A nomber of distinguished gentlemen have been spoken of, in different parts of the State, as in every way worthy of the high position of candidate of the Whig Party for the office of Governer of North Carolina. But, who ought the Conven- tion to nominate, is the question. Not the man io regard to whose success there will be doubts and fears; but a gentleman whose very name will, whilst elating the Whigg tbrooghoat the State with certain victory, strike terror into the ranks of the enemy. Like others, we have a preference ; bat if we know ourself, our preference is con- ferred on the man who will command the whole strength of the party—who will be certain to beat the candidate of the De- racy ! mW hat say our Whig brethren to the Hon.

The molasses was brought, and the-old farmer, with a very grave and countenance, poured it into the da hat while the exquisite took oat his watch to note time. Giving the hat two or three shakes, with a Signor Blig adroitness, the experimenter placed it ‘on his table, and . stared into it, as if watching the wonder- ful der of solidification. - “ Time up,’ said the dandy. The old farmer moved the hat. “ Well, I do believe it ain’t hardened,” said he,in a tone of disappointment. “I missed) it, somehow or other this time;and I suppose I have lost the bet.

He made his complaint at the police office—but. as it appeared that the experiment was tried with his own consent, the money could not be re covered. THE CLIMAX REACHED. The great Hungarian propagandist reached his climax at Allegheny City on the 30th ; and our extract will show in what manner: “ Mrs. Johnson, a member of the congrega- tion, was announced as desiring to presem her child, seven months old, whom she had named afier Kossuth, before she had expected evet to have the pleasure of seeing him in America. The child was presented and Kossuth pronoune- ed the following blessing upon him: —. * May he be wiser—may he be happier than his namesake, but may he love his country as I love mine—love justice and freedom as f, and be as honest as I before God believe | am.” Interesting Fact.—The Rev. J. D. Tyler, Principal of the Deaf Mute Department of the Virginia Iastitution, states in his last interest.: ing report that our own country is the only one: iu which the question whether the children of deaf mutes are themselves apt to be deaf bas approached solution. ‘Two hundred educated deaf routes assembled in Hariford, Coonecti- cut, September 25, 1850. Of these, 103 were married, some quite recently. Seventytwo were parents. the parents of 102 children, sime- ty.eight of whom can hear and speak. Instan- ces are given of parents. both deaf from birth, having children able to bear and speak. “ Aa instance,” says Mr. Tyler, “exists in our in- stitution, in the case of an instructor aud bis amiable wife. both deaf from birth, but their two bright litle boys bave all their senses in perfection, So that the apprehension ia ques- tion.” continues the Principal, “ is not suffi. eient ground for denying to deal mutes the chiet earthly Lappiness, the “ school and exer- cise of virtue—ihe state which na. tions, and fille cities and churches, and heaven itself.’ ” : Fire.—Rail Road Bridge Burnt.-The Bridge on the Wilmington & Raleigh Railroad, about 80 feet in length, and some 8 miles from town, was destroyed by fire last morning.

In Jooking os map of the United States, yocies (is I bad pictured to Myself that there must be a rich body of minerals near the surlace, al the point 1 always considered the great elbow made by the Blue Ridge, where jt turns suddenly to the West, and, as it were, forms a junction with the Alleghanies and the Eastern spur of the Cumberland Mountains, thereby constitu- ting what deserves to be called the first grand joiat inthe united or main Backbone of North Ameriza, I can only saf, that the result of my solitary atd.unaided exploration far exceeds the most sanguine expeciatious | ever formed on the sub— ject, and the weliguthenticated minerals I shall ti away from this region will, | am confi- a, wherever they are duly exbibiied, make converts to my opinion. Lf look upon the Dan River as being the na. tural and proper outlet, as well as inlet, for the eritiré country in the vicinity of the Fancy Gap, in Virginia, and all that portion of territory situ— ated upon and nearthe head waters of the Yad— kin, above the Bean Shoals; and also for a édnsiderable distance below that point. - & turnpike or plank road, of less than 30 miles io length, would bring the Yadkin coun— ty products to the Dan, at point near this place, and thus enable them to be put down in the Northern maskeis, by a route at least 300 miles meares than they fould be, via the Yankin and Deep Rivers. ye are aware of the large ainount of capital already invested in Rail Roads constructed or (o be constructed, almost solely for tbe purpose of forwarding to the seaboard, the valuable produce that annually floats in the thisérable’ batteaux down the Dan, Staunton, and Roanoke Rivers. Norfolk bas one road, Petesburg another, aud soon a third one will be completed by the people of Richmond. . When at Gaston, | was politely permitted to have access to the books of the Roanoke Navi— gion Company, and ascertained therefrom, that for,several years past there had annually been delivered at that point from the River 10,- 000 bhds. of leaf and 3,000,000 pounds of mapufactured Tobacco—10,000 bbis. of Flour, (ibe latter being !rom the Staunton River coun- try,)—while there was 1,000,000 pounds of sundries, independent of 8,000 sacks of Liver— pool Salt, and large quantities of Sugar, mo- fassee, nails, &c. &c. Wc., shipped from thence up thé’ River. “oT meed not state, thatthe present amount of trade on the Roanoke and its tributaries, is a mere moity or portion of what would naturally and inevitably centre on those waters, were they made navigable for light draft stemboats ~ nor was il necessary for me to allude to the rapid increase of your population, that would flow in from abroad, to develope your mineral and other natural wealth; and the consequent increase in the value of your lands, if emigrants could reach here by a cheap conveyance up the Roanoke an Dan, in comfortable steamboais.— Moreover, it bas occurred to me, that by laying the proper mineral and other evidences before them, the wealthy stockholders of the three Rail Roads leading to the waters of the Roan- oke, might withoat much trouble, be prevailed upon to subscribe sufficient to put. in operation here at Danbury, an extensive Furnace, Rol|- ing Mill, Nail Factory, &c., where could be made all the Rail Road irun, that is {rom time to lime being required by those Rail Roads; also it, might be furnished to other Roads at a profit, especially if we should chance to get in a war with European powers. Also, I have no doul\ihat ample funds may be procured at the North, to establish here, works for making Steel, as at this point may be found ia unlimit. ed quantities the Spethic Iron ore, which pro. duces the best quality of iron fur manufacturing into steel. England imports annually from Sweden more than 20,000 ons of that kind of iron tor the purposé of making it into steel; and if she edn afford to go to Sweden atter the ma- terial out of which she makes all. of her best steel, and then can make a large profit on it by shipping it to our shores, I am clearly of the o- pinion that, as here is the right kind of iron, limestone, blacklead, firebrick elay, with char. eoalabundant, and labor low, this is a point where steel may be produced on profitable terms. Also at Jersey City, opposite New York, where renis, labor; chareval, firebrick clay blacklead, d&c. are all high, steel is wrought out of spethic iron brought trom the Adi iondack ‘mountains ontLake George, more than three hundred miles inland distant from the place where the steel is manufactured. &Remight go on enumerating the self-evident advantages of this section of comparatively un- settled or uninhabited country, with its forrests and best woodlands remaining in their primi- tive and undisturbed condition, until I should have written a volume ; but, to a comprehen. eive and far-seeing mind, it would be uanec. essary. 1 will therefore not dwell on what migta with justice be said respecting the Saura. town Mountains, with their full 150 square miles of eurlace embraced in almost a direct Northern and Southern exposure, a place des. tined beyond'doubt, to be in afew years liter. ally swarming with the sheep of our Northern wool growers, who at this time are pasturing some of their numerous fl.uwks onthe Blue Ridge within 100 miles of this place,—nor need | de. ‘se ihe‘ to you how easy 1 believe it will be for ‘mitiernls,) to exeite the money making appe. rtites of the good pecple of Petersburg, Noriolk, ¢Richméndand other places. © My mineral wit. snesses will speak in language that cannot and >: willnot.be misundersiond. - Jn conclusion, 1 beg Jeave to observe, that Mr. ® has promised to hand you uache as —ooes a paper drawn up by myself, with a view to eas a reflection, if, not action, it relalion” to the propriety of co ing ce a or ~ 4 en Factory opposite to this ; and I sin. cerely trust you mBsy, stances, feel warranted io paper of similar import, with a liberal subserip- tion. Capt. has himself to follow your subseription with one of $1,000 ; and there are others ready to subscribe more or less, as soon as they can get a jeader in whom they can bave confidence, and as yop4 are @ person of that identical description, I they may not look in vain for your example. On the subject of the ease and moderale ex- pense with which the Dan and Roanoke may be rendered navigable for light drafi steamers, I have never entertained a doubt since my voy- age up to this point from Gaston. ff will state | also, that from Hairsion’s Ford 10 within afew miles of Danville, the Dan bas its bed with on- ly one exception wholly in the Secondary of Coal Formation ; the rocks over which it pass. es being eitber Coal, Slate, secondary Sand- stone, or some similar friable formation, that may easily be made into sluices of the right Kind for steam navigation. Smith’s river, which entirely passes over primitive rock of the hard. | est species. has been rendered navigable from its junction withthe Dan to the Blue Rock Falls a distance of 60 miles, fur boats drawing from 18 to 20 inches of water, at the small expense of $9,000. In one instance I was informed that the river had the enormous fall of 30 feet in a mile, which fall, by zigzag sluicing, was rendered perfectly safe and easy to be passed by batteaux deeply Jaden at nearly all seasons of the year. One thing is certain, if no effort is made to. wards it, Dan River never will become naviga- ble for steamers, and no man can foresee the advantages in full, that would be derived by the people of this region, were that river to be so far improved as to admit of the passage of light draft steamboats, similar to those about to be employed on Deep River. In relation to my humble self, as I stated long ago in the Danville Register, over my own sig- nature, [ am a mere tyro in mineralogy ; but I do make some pretensions to a knowledge of maritime matiers, having followed the seas from the time | was 13, till 1 was 29 years old, and filled. during that period the various stations on shipboard, from cabin. boy to the command of several vessels; and since leaving the sea, | have always had more or less todo with sea- going vessels, steamboats, and all kinds of wa. ter-waggons or vehicles, used in transporting produce upon our ¢anals and rivers. Hence I infer, it will be in. my power to so arrange facts and circumstances, that I shall be able to con. vince any man of sense and reason, of the prac. ticability of making the Dan and Roanoke nav. igable fur a profitable class of steamboats or water- wagons, when I shall have comple'ed my survey of those rivers, and back it up with a fair display ofthe valuable minerals thai abound in and about their head-waters. At all events there will be no deficiency on my part, so far as regards zeal, perseverance, and determina. tiun. Your Obedient Servant, SAM'L W. DEWEY. N..CAROLINA RAILROAD DEPOT AT WAYNESBORO. We have heretofore alluded to the change which the directors of the N. C. Railroad Co., have recently made in re- gard to the depot at the Eastern terminus af the Road, In our columng to day will be found the proceedings of a meeting of that portion of the stockbolders, whose in- terests are more directly affected by this change. These resolutions speak for themselves and require no comment to prove that the remonstrance which they embody against the change in the depot is well founded, and that the case would justify much stronger language. But in order that the full force of this remon-. strance may be apprehended by those who are not familiar with the facts of the case, we will state then more full than it was necessary to do, in these resolutions, and subjoin such remarks as the circumstances appear to us to call for. The history of this matter is briefly this. The Charter of the N. C. Railroad compa- ny directs that the Eastern terminus of the road shall be upon the Neuse river and at the point where the Wilmington road crosses that river. On examination of the ground however, at this point, it was found impracticable, or at least, in- convenient and expensive, to make the terminus of the road at this point. Ac- cording after the organization of the com pany, at a full meeting of the Directors in | December, 1850, it was decided by the | board that the road should run to Waynes- boro,’ and that there should be a depot at that place. At the meeting of the direc. tors in May last, it was forther decided that the road should be continued on from | Waynesboro, toa point on the Wilming- ton and Raleigh Road, one mile and eight huodredihs to the South of Goldsboro, a depot still being located at Waynesboro, This was also done at a full meeting of the directors, the Neuse river interest as well as all other interests concerned being rep- resented in the meeting at which this was done. As this arrangement complied with the spirit, although not according to the letter of the charter, all interests acqui- esced in it, and no suspicion crossed the minds of those who are interested in Neuse River improvement, that any further change was contemplated. One remark here. This action of the board in May, locating the road direct to Waynesboro’ ; and continuing it on the Wilmington Road was decided upon, as we are informed, on good authority, after a careful survey of the ground by Major Gwyn, and @report by him laid before the board of Directors, recommending this as the most eligible and best location. We do not profess quote the words of his report, but this « understand was the substance of what he recommended in regard to the eastern termines of the Road. : ce EE a ees. ‘probability intended. asking if a proceeding ot this kind is cal- Things stood in this position unti] the When as we learn, an important change er interest was present.

We cannot learn from any aathentic source, nor have the Stockhold. ers learned, that this change as specified in the report authorizing it, and which was made as it is understood, at the insti- gation of Major Gwyn, embraces any pro- vision for any connexion with Waynesbo- ro’ or the river. The Stockholders here, are informed it is true that the contractors prefer building an arm, from some point on .N. C. Rail- road, above its termination at the Wil- mington road to Waynesboro’, to running it direct, as before provided to Waynes- boro’, and thence to the Wilmington road. But no information has yet reached,those interested here, to authorize the belief, that the Directors guarantee in any way that this shall be done.’ It is reported here indeed, that this arm to Waynesboro’ is to be built, and that operations are already commenced with a view to building it. but rumor is all the assurance that we have here, that such is the fact, It was made the doty we learn of Major Gwyn, the Chief Engineer, to send the proceed- ings of the Board at its late meeting, to the Directors resident in Newbern, but that has not been done. But supposing even, that there is to be a connexion at Waynesboro’, such as re- ported, does this help the matter much, or does it justify this proceeding ? One thing is certain in any event, un— less all the reliable information upon tits point that has been received here is er- roneous, and that the main stem of the Road is. to run to, or near to Goldsboro’, and to touch the. Wilmington Road, and not the river and road both, as provided by the Charter. If there isto be any con— nexion with the river at all. it is to be by means of a fork or arm only, from the Cen- tral Rail Road, to Waynesboro’. This is a palpable violation both of the letter and the spirit of the Charter. Those who from this section of the State at least, voted for the Charter of the N.C. Rail Road, did so with the express stipulation that a sum was to be appropriated for the improve- ment of the Neuse River, and that the main stem and not an arm of the road, was to gototheriver. Does the location of the road as it is now understood to be arranged, comply in any sense, with this stipulation? Certainly not. Again, isnot this change a violation of contract, with those who, with the understanding that the main depot at least was to be on the river, subscribed to the stock of the Com- pany? Clearly to our minds. If it be said that a branch or arm to the river is the same in effect so far as the interests of the Road at large, or our rights and interests here are concerned, we deny it and say to those by whose in- fluence this wrong has been perpetrated, that they are not to come the Giraffe over us in this style. With the main stem running direct to) the river, the cars of course coming down the Central Railroad would necessary go first to the depot on the river, and there stop first. Who is so doll as not to see, that this arrangement, woold be more likely to facilitate the transportion of pro- duce down the river, than if there is mere- ly an arm from the main stem to the riv- er? The operation of course will be, | that the principal train of cars will not | go to the river at all, or if it does will | have to be taken back from Goldsboro’ to Waynesboro’. Occasionally a car may, it is trae, be detached, where beforehand it is known the produce in them is to go | down the Neuse, and sent on the arm of the road to Waynesboro’. This arrange- ment will throw of course the main depot on the Wilmington Road, as those at whose instigation it has been done in all The main depot, the machine shops, &c., will be there, in- stead of being as would have been the case at Waynesboro’. The consequence will be that the main portion of the busi- ness at the termination of the road will be thown ata convenient point for the Wilmington Road, instead of being fairly divided, as would have been the case, had the provisions of the Charter been complied with. We have more to say upon this subject, but we most close at present. by simply culated to harmonize interests in dif- ferent portions of the State, to promote the interest of this great State work. or to secure for it that respect and popularity that are essential toits success? Laying out of view the wrong done to the river interest, is it politic, is it right to allow lo- cal and sectional, interests to control the action of a board constituted to act for the good of the whole? Is it the way to pro- mote the interests of the people, to throw Obstacles, palpably in violation of private rights, in their way of having a choice of markets? But more of this at another We copy below, one of the resolations adopted by the meeting referred to in the the most influential citizens of Newbern concerned as stockholders.

Now we should like to know, pertinently asks the Wadesboro’ Argus, where Congress finds the power under the Constitution of the United States, to pay five hundred dollars per day to the keeper of Brown’s Hotel to furnish champaigne and other dainties of the like kind tothis Hun— garian gambler and his “ shabbily uniformed ” body—guard. No such power we venture to say, can be found: ard when congress makes the appropriation for the payment of this enormous bill, it will be placing its unhallowed hands up— on coin whicb it has no manner of right under the sunto touch. As well might it vole supplies for Queen Victoria’s private purse, or make an appropriation for the Duke of Wellington’s hounds.—In the name of the good peuple. of this country we protest against any such dis— position of their funds. But this is the humble and penniless exile who comes upen a mission of democracy a— mongst us; and he must “have a court at Brown's, a state and attendance !” He must be waited upon like a King and must bave his door defended from vulgar approach by a body guard of Huns! And the people of the United States, the poor hard working people, against whose entrance his palace door is thus guarded must foot the bill. The Aztec Children.—The New York Sun thus refers to those interesting specimens of an exclusive race, the obscurity of whose history, as associated with their peculiar habits, has hitherto invested them almost a fabulous noto- riety : * We alluded, some days since, to the pre. sence in this cily of two specimens of a Lilli putian race, from Central America. Since then, we notice that the rooms formerly occu- pied by the National Academy of Design, in the Society Library Building, corner of Broad- way and Leonard street, have been fitted and furnished for their reception. Greater living curiosities than are these diminutive represen. tatives of humanity, we have never seen. They are not dwarfs, nor are they ordinary sized be- ings. They are full grown Lilliputians—ever way perfect in form and feature. The boy is about fifteen years old, the girl about nine.— They are said to be the children of the Priests of The Sun in Iximaya, a secluded city in Central America, inhabited by half civilized Indians, who refuse to have any communication with the outer world. The boy named Maximo is thirty three inches, and the girl, Bartola, twenty nine inches high. Their skin is of In- dian hue; hair and eyes jet black, the latter large, brilliant and expressive. They are dressed in closely fitting stockinet dresses, with short fanciful tunics, rendering their very ap. pearance interesting, aside from the curiosity excited by the peculiarity of their form and size.” FRACAS WITH AMERICANS IN EGYPT. The correspondent of tte London Chronicle writing from Alexendria under date of the 5th ultimo, says: “On the 24th the first passenger steamers for Assyrian and intermediate ports left Cairo, taking a goodly number of tourists, of whom a great proportion were American gentlemen.— On the day following an unfortunate fracas oc. curted between a party of six Américans, who had arrived near Cairo from this city in one of the usual passenger boats of the country, and the sative inbabitants of a suburban village called Embarba, arising out of a dispute be. tween the latter and the crew respecting some presumed trespass, which ended in & resort to firearms. About « dozen shots were exchang- ed, and some of both parties were badly wound. ed, but no lives lost.

There are now two hundred and sixty. The cost of Trinity Church, including its organ, was three huadred and fifty-seven thousand dollars... There are upwards. of six millions of dollars paid to the clergymen in the United States yearly, it is estimated.

The Lehman Murder—Imyportant Arrest. PuivapEevputia, Fes. 11.—Two men have heen arrested this morning and indentified as the two Hungarian refugees against whom suspicion strongly rests as the murderers of young Lehman, the pedlar. They were living in a house near the Southwark canal, and al though they had just paid a month’s rent in ad. vance, were in the act of moving away when arrested by the officers. The Secretary of the Navy, Mr. Graham, has been so ill for some days, that he has been un. able to transact public business. REMARKABLE DISCOVERY. We learn from the Richmond Times that a remarkable discovery has rencent- ly been made near Buchanan, in Bote- tourt County, Va. Whilst some hands engaged in blasting out limestone a short distance below that place, for the purpose of making a lime kiln. they came across what seemed to be a cave, with an en- trance some six or eight feet in height and upwards of one hundred long, with two apartments. In the first they found some earthen ware and a large stone cross; on the cross there was some car- ving, bat was so much defaced by the hand of time that it was hardly discerna. ble. On entering the second apartment they were surprised to ‘find a skeleton seated on a huge iron chest, with its back resting against the wall. On opening the chest they found it to contain Gold Coin, perfectly smooth on one side and a cross with some characters on iton the other. The gold-in the chest by weight is worth seven hundred and eighty-three dollars.— The coin was one which the writer had never seen before. How these things came there, will be a puzzle for the world. The Athens (Ga.).Herald says that the gold fever has played sad bavoc with the male. population, in opper Georgia: this winter, and understands. that in Lumpkin county there are scarcely enough men leftto take careof the women and children. What ® gloomy prospect is left for the unmarried females in Georgia, who have lost the bloom and beauty of sweet sixteen! They ought to travel, too. The.Kossuth excitement is dying out.

In the personal recollection of Charlotte Elizabeth, the following passage occurs. Her father came in while the stay-maker Was spreading out her buckram, whale- bone, &c. ‘Pray. what are you going to do with the clild ?’ ‘Guing Ao fit her with 9 pain of stays.’ ‘For what putpose ? oe ‘To imprive' ber figore; hb Youhg: fad can grow up without them.’ ‘l beg your pardon; young geotlemeo grow up very well withoul them, and 80 mas yeang ladies.’ Tat ‘Oh, you are mistaken. See what a stoop she has already; depend upon it, that girl will be‘both a dwarf and a crip ple if we doot put her into stays.’ *My child may be a cripple. ma’am, if such is God's will, but shall be one ot His making not ours.’ Therefore she grew up without head aches, or other lady hke maladies.’ The siiffening now put in the dresses of our females is more injurious to the vital parts of the body than the stays could ever be. Examination of Atlorneys.—The follow- ing racy examination of a candidate for admission to the bar is from the Western Law Journal, and is decidedly a good hit. The examiner commences with.— * Do you smoke, sir?” “TI do, sir.” “ Have you a spare cigar?” “ Yes, sir.” (extending a short tox.) “ Now, sir, what is the first duty ofa lawyer?” : “To collect fees.” “Right. What is the second 2?” * To increase the number of his cli ents.” “ When does your position towadrs your client change 7” “ When making a bill of costs.” “ Explain.” " We then occupy the antagonistic po sition—I assume the character of plain. | tiff. and he becomes defendant.” * A suit decided, how do you stand with the lawyer conducting the other side ?” “Cheek by jowi.” * Enough, sir; you promise to beeome | an ornament to your profession, and I | Now are you aware of the duty you owe me 1” * Describe it.” “It is to invite you to drink.” ~ But suppose I decline.” (Candidate scratching his head.) — '“ There is no instance of the like on re- cord in the books. | cannot answer the question.” “Yoo are right; and the confidence with which you make the assertion shows that you have read the law aitentively.— Let's take tbe drinks, and | will sign your certificate.” The principal Coin in circulation in, Califor nig is fifiy dollar coldipieges, which they ¢all slugs.

In this ay, their droppings may easily be gath- ed into heaps, keeping the dung and rine together, and both from loss by vo- lization, and protecting the mass from e washings of rain or snow water, and ural drainage. Where manure has to thauled any considerable distance, it is ad policy to add weight to it by applying paler with the view to promote ferment- tion or the rotting of the heap. Suppose bas ten tons of dry straw or corn- it will not pay to add, as is often forty tons of rain water, so that the etactually hauls four tons of simple into his distant fields to convey tone ton of vegetable matter.

But on fair soils, in common field cultare, this great labor of preparing food for crops is unwise husbandry. Let the entire de- | composition take place in the soil, as is witnessed when clover, peas, or other e manures differ from the | plants are turned under with the plough. If it was convenient, all the droppings of animals should be immediately covered in the soils which most lack fertility ; for they-will lose more than they can gain by | keeping above ground, But so speedy and constant an application of manures would interfere with other necessary la- bors on the farm, and hence the safe-keep- ing of fertilizers until needed is a matter of importance. It is excellent economy to provide a bed of dry straw, forest leaves or peat, to absorb all the urine of domes- tic animals. In what is called “ box-feed- ing,” both the dung and urine of fatting oxen, sheep, and hogs are intimately mix- ed with straw, or some other good absorb- ent, and trodden under the feet of the ani- mals. As the latter consume meal and roots, their excreta are obviously rich in the elements of fertility. The animal is turned loose in a small pen or box, being fed regularly and well supplied with litter for bedding. The mass of ma- nure thus formed is rarely disturbed | until it is applied to the ground, either as a top dressing or to be mingled with tilled earth. Asa general rule, it is desirable to cover manure with from three to nine inches of soil. If it is light, porous, and sandy, manure should be buried deep; if compact and impervious, a covering of two or three inches will suffice to retain all gaseous elements. Manure moves both downward and upward, as well as laterally, intilled ground, and therefore on a medium soil it should be placed midway in the earth stirred with the plough. If the ground is broken ten inches deep, five inches of the soil should be above the ma- nure, and five below it. All organic and mineral fertilizers dis- solved in water will enter so far into a chemical combination with the soil when applied to it in irrigation, that nothing will be lost by atmospheric and solar in- fluences, unless the quantity applied per square rod isneedlessly large. This speedy and thorough incorporation of fertilizing substanees with the soil when dissolved, has led many to attempt the complete so- lution of manure before it is applied to the land, knowing that it cannot enter the roots of plants to nourish them before it is dissolved in water, or reduced to a gase- ous state. By bringing all fertilizers made in stables and yards into a liquid form, the manure is easily conveyed in wooden pump logs or pipes made of burnt clay in- to the several fields on the farm. If the fields are lower than the barn or stable the water will run to them in pipes by its owr gravity; aod if higher, horse power or a small steam engine will force the li- quied up to their level. Operations of this kind are succesfully practised in En- | gland. Hose is used to distribute the wa- ter over the surface in the fields; and the most good. From the National Intelligencer. MORMON AFFAIRS. Messrs. Eprrors: In the I[ntelligencer of Wednesday morning, under the head of Late from Utah,” are” published the fol- lowing paragraphs, to wit: “By Deseret News of the 29th Novem- ber (a Morman newspaper published in Salt Lake City) we learn that the author- ities of the Territory of Utah have select- ed a site for their capital, abqut a mile from Chalk Creekyin Pauvan Valley, one hundred and fifty-one miles southerly from the Great Salt Lake City. The new city is to be called Fitumorg, and the county in which it is located Millard. “In the same paper we find a long let- ter addressed by Judge Z. Snow to the editor, defending the action of the Govern- or and Legislature of the Territory touch- ing the questions at issue between them and the retired functionaries, and thence justifying his own action in opening the Territorial courts.” We quote the concluding paragraph : «I have now examined every objection arged against the proceedings of the Go- vernor in relation to the getting up and calling together the Assembly, and find his proceedings to be strictly legal. Find- ing them legal, I believe it the right of the President, the right of the United States, and the iohabitants of this Terrfto- ry, to have me take my seat and hold my first court as required by the act of the Legislative Assembly of Utah, and, believ- ing so, 1 do not hesitate to enter on my duties.” A few words in relation to Judge Z. Snow. JudgeS. joined the Mormon church about twenty years ago, but has not resid- ed in the Mormon commonity, or been in full communion with the charch,since they left Kirtland, Ohio, some fifteen years ago. He doubtless went tothe Territory withthe determination to discharge his official du- ties faithfully, oninfluenced and uncon- trolled by his. religious associations.— When the difficulties commenced which led to the withdrawal of a portion of the officers, Judge Snow sympathized entirely with his colleagues, and when finally, in consequence of accumulated insults, ont- rages, and lawless transactions,they deem- ed it their duty to withdraw trom the Ter- ritory, Judge Snow concurred with them in this determination, and commenced pre- parations to retarn to the States with his family. When this came to the ears of Brigham Young, he promptly brought the church influence and authority to bear and in a few days after Judge Snow was tak- er down to the River Jordan and rebap- tized into the Mormonchurch. From that moment his views and feelings experienc- ed a complete revolution, as is evinced by the letter frou: which you have quoted.— But enough of him. ‘The location of the seat of Government of the Territory, contrary to all previous arrangements, in Pauvan Valley, one hun- dred and fifty miles from any white set- tlement, and inhabited solely by roving bands of hostile Indians, is a very signifi- cant fact, but susceptible of a simple ex- planatien. When the returned United States officers left Salt Lake City, for the reasons set forth in their report to the Pre- sident, Brigham Young and his Mormon associates were well satisfied that, upon a fair and jast representation of the facts to the Government at Washington, the civil authority of the Territory would be promptly withdrawn from their hands and control. Under this conviction, and with their usua! cunning, they have located the capital in one of the most out-of-the-way, inconvenient, and unsafe districts to be found within the limits of the Territory, with the view not only to expose the offi- cers who might be sent there to Indian hostilities, but to remove them so far from Salt Lake City as to prevent their taking cognizance of crimes and offences there over which the church claims to exercise exclusive jurisdiction. Recent letters received from Salt Lake City announce these as the reasons for the act. The names assigned to the new city and county may be regarded as a charac- teristic specimen of Mormon diplomacy. TRUTH. WasurincTon, Feb. 11, 1852. From the Cheraw Gazette. New York, Feb. 5. There are two aztec pigmies now on exbibi- tion in this city. I called in to see them this morning, and I can assure you that! was never more astonished or gratified in my life. ‘Tom Thum cannot be compared to them, either as a curiosity to the mere sight-seer, or as an ob- ject of physiological and ethnological interest. ‘The male appears to be about 18 years old, and weighs 21 pounds ; and the female, who weighs about 16 pounds, is probably just commencing ber teens. Their complexion is copper-color- ed, their eyes are black and sparkling, and their death, Velasquez soon after prevailed u a young priest to whom was confided the po of the two aziecs now in this city, to escape with him; and after severa! adventures, during which the priest died, he arrived at San Salva- dor with the two pigmies, who were baptized with great eeremony in the Roman Catholic Cathedral. The newly discovered city is called Iximaya; and the children now in New York constitute ing remnant of an ancient order-of priesthood called Kaanas, which, it is asserted in their tra- ditions, accompanied their first migration from the plains of Assyria. Forbidden by sacred law from marrying out of their own caste, they have dwindled down, in the course of many centuries, to a few insignificant individuals of diminutive stature and weak intellect. They are nevertheless held in high’veneration by their people, as living specimens of an antique race so nearly extinct; and they are kept so secluded that they speak no language. The two now on exhibition in this city have had a great deal of pains taken with them by their present guardians, (wo gentlemen of wealth and bigh moral character. Under the instruction of these gentlemen, the pigmies now understand nearly everything that is said to them in En- glish ; but they are not yet able to articulate words, although they make great efforts. They are very clean, and sprucely dressed, and there is nothing repulsive in their appearance. A bogus company that pretends to carry goods and money across the Atlantic, has lately de- frauded a poor man, to the extent of $200.— Many of these companies that style themselves “ Express Companies” are constituted after the fashion of “ Royal Bengulee Life Insurance Company,” as described by Dickens in “ Mar. tin Chuzzlewitt.”—Look out forthem. Better wait until some friend, in whom you can trust, crosses the Atlantic, before you send to, or or- der from, Europe, any money, goods, or oth- er valuables. CHESTERFIELD.

The allied sovereigns are now manceuver.- ing their forces go as to occupy every inch of ground gained by Louis Napoleon’s coup d’e- tat. ‘They are far from showing timidity and irresolution. A new policy has been forced on Switzerland. This was easy, because by dint of intrigue and corruption, the great powers had already succeeded in placing the executive power of that country in the hands of a Roman Catholic. The first evidence of the entire sub. ordination of Switzerland to the reaction is a decree for the expulsion of a large number of refugees. Many not named in the decree have also been ordered to leave by the police, and it is probable, that in a few months more the soil of Switzerland will be free from all her troublesome guests. One may regret this, but cannot blame the confession of weakness in a small power, without allies, and surrounded by enemies that could crush her in a moment.— The frail reed must bend before the hurricane/ Piedmont, too, has begun to take with bold. ness the backward march. ‘The popular aspi- rations for liberty, Italian independence, and freedom from the exactions of the Romish Church, have in connection with the probabil. ities of the success of the republicans in France compelled the Court of Piedmont to wear the appearance of liberalism. Some reforms have been effected, one or two good treaties have been concluded, a certain liberty is allowed to the press, and Protestantism has been tolerated. Enough has been done to throw dust into the eyes of the friends of progrees outside ot Pied- hair, which is black and glossy, is of the finest texture, and curls beautifully. ‘Their heads are much smaller tban that of any new-born child Lhave ever seen. ‘The little creatures are quite lively and affectionate, and as playlul as kittens. The story connected with their discovery in Centra) America, is somewhat tough on the first impressions ; but it is now generally received as authentic, as nune of our ethnologists have even altempted to give any other solution of their existence, while many of them endorse the main fatts of the narrative, and endeavor to corroborate its truthfulness by the antiquarian learning. The story runs as follows: Two gentlemen, one a Canadian, and the other an American, having read in Stevens’ work on Central Amer- ica, that an old priest in Santa Cruz de! Quin. che informed Mr. Stevens that he had seen iu his youth, from the top of the Cordilleras, “a large city in the distance, with turrets white, and glittering in the sun, that no white man, was known to have visited, were inflamed with a desire to explore that region, and if possible, discover the city. In the autumn of ’48, these gentlemen left Baltimore for New Orleans, whence (bey start. ed for the residence of the old priest. Passiog through Coban, they fell ia with one Senor Pe- dro Velasquez who agreed to accompany tbem. They at length arrived at Santa Cuz del Quin- che, and were gratified to hear the old priest re- iterate to them the statements he had made to Mr. Stevens. Having procured guides, provi- sions, six shooting rifles, and ammunition, they started for the Cordilleras, and at Jength reach- ed the highest point of the range, from which, firet with a telescope, and as the weather grew more clear, with the naked eye, they espied the lo bi for city. Deaaaela RC ether side of the moun- tains, they traversed the plain, until they got within two leagues of the city, when they were attacked by a well disciplined company of In- dians on horSeback, identical in costume and appearance with those whom Cortez encoun- tered in Mexico. Mr. Hammond, the Canadi- an, was severely wounded by a lance ; but at length, they routed the enemy and entered the city. ‘They were well treated for some time, votil Mr. Huestis, the American. endeavored to escape, for which be was sacrificed “ on the high aliar-of the sua.” Mr. Hammoud died of the wound received in the conflict outside the gates of thecity. Although an atiemptto leave the cily without Permission was puvishavle by 6 mont; but not enough to prevent a very easy return to the Catholic-royalist party. Already | a large class of misdemeanors of the press has | | been withdrawn from the cognizance of the ju. ‘ry, and submitted to the judgeg nominated King with a few others now in Iximaya, the surviv- | off. Victor Emanuel ; and there are numerous signs | ofan intention to reduce the press to the same | ‘condition as in France. A special embassador | | bas been sent to Piedmont from France, poss- bly to make suggestions as to the best mode of } sats oils | re-establishing Roman Catholicism and despo- ‘tism in their former vigor. That the king is not disposed to thwart Louis Napoleon, is evi- dent from his refusal tc permit any Freochman toenter his dominions without the previous con- sent of the authorities at Paris. Eugene Sue, who has been ordered out of France, was oblig- edto wait about ten days in order to gel a spe- cial permission to fix bis residence in Savoy.— It was granted him, with an injunction to live in a retired way, and abstain from all manifesta. tion of interest in politics. M. Sue started yes. terday for Anecy. ; hasta: ke last traces of the liberal in- stitutions of 1848 have been formally effaced. The jury is dispensed with, the secrecy of judi- cial proceedings is restored, the press is muz- zled, and a pure and simple despotism is assert- ed as the legal government of the country.— What the emperor cannot restore is the base. service exacted, before 1848, by the nobles, from the peasantry. The mass of the popula. tion bas been released from the onerous duties of the feudalism of the middle ages, and Is en- tering into the new regime of financial feudal- ism, brought on by modern commerce. The continental powers are now turning their attention to the position so long occupied by England, under the direction of Lord Palmers- ton. A Vienna paper affirms that the joint note to England, so long talked of, bas al last been sent by Russia, Austria and Prussia. It de- mands some stringent measure 10 regard to the refugees from the continent ; either their expul- sion, or such a surveillance by the policé as may prevent any propagandism by them on the continent. An intimation is made tbat in case of non-compliance with this demand, English- men will be altogether excluded from the terti- tories of the powers sending the note, on the ground of their possible connection with : the conspiracy fomented by the refugees. The note refers to the precedent of the arrest, in Ireland, of Americans suspected of instigating the people to rebellion, and its official sea? tion by the English government. Time w note. If he admits ils pretensions, be must in the face of public sentiment, the English middle classes having a strong national pride in the protection of fugitives from oppression : it he refuse to make concession, it is probable that such vexatious will be practised on English subjects on the continent as to lead to a v unpleasant state of things, and possibly to war. However, diplomacy has infinite resources for delaying a decision, and the end may yet be far The enthusiastic reception of Kossuth in the United States bas awakened the wrath of the Paris newspaper press. ‘Three of the principle papers contains each a diatribe against us; Les Debats indulges in a strain of mockery, and Le Pays calls attention to America in an article, which, though at first sight apparently hostile is really dictated by a faint hope that the new world will do something, None of them seem however, to think an interfegence on our part probable, aud their menaces can only be considered as symptoms of feelings which may show themselves in action al a fu- ture day. In fact, should England comply with the demands of the continental powers, the U. States will be the last free power on the face of the earth. That country will then be exposed tothe intrigues of European diplomists, of which the newspaper articles I speak of are only the forerunners. Before a great while, America may be called upon not only not to intervene in Europe, but to maintain our just influence in America. The utter helplessness of Belgium is proved by the fact that the French police bas not scra- pled to exercise its authority within her jimits. General Changarnier, Colonel Charras, and several others, were conducted, under the es. cort of French policemen, some to Brussels, and others fo the Belgium frontier, withont any protest by the Government. ‘This is accounted tor, however by the Brussels papers, on the plea that no forma] complaint was made by the prisoners. Tue Razor Strrop May.—Smith, the Ra- zor Strop Man, occasionally breaks off froin the subject of the very superior qual- ity of his strops, and gives his audience a short lecture on temperance in his own peculiar and droll way. Here is an ex- tract: - * When I drank grog, I owned a cat, a poor lean, lantern-jawed that was always getting into a scrape. AsI had nothing for her to eat, she was compelled to take to the highway, and the neighbors were continually crying out, ‘ confound that Smith’s cat, she’s drank all my milk.’— Poor thing she had to steal or die, for she could find no pickings at home, for even the poor mice were so poor and scraggy, that it took several of them yto make a shadow, and a decent cat would starve to death in three weeks on an allowance of eighteen a day. But when! reformed, things took adifferentturn. The kitchen being provided, the crumbs were plenty, and the old cat grew fat and honest to- gether. Even the mice grew fat and oily, and old tabby would make a hearty sup- per on two of them, and then lie down and snooze, with the pleasing consolation of knowing when she awoke there would be a few more left of the some sort. And again: When I was «& beer guz- zler, mother cried, father cried, Bill cried, Moll cried, Bet cried, and the cat cried.— But when I signed the pledge, father sung, mother sung, John sung, and wife sung, Bill sung, Moll sung, Bet sung, and the cat sung, the kettle sung, and I bought a new frying-ban and put a piece of beef. steak in it, and placed it on ihe fire, and that sung, and that’s the kind of singing for the workman. And 8rd: The difference between Smith sober and Smith drunk is this: Smith drunk was rummy, ragged, and riotous— Smith sober is jovial, joyful, and jolly.— Smith drunk was stuttering, stupid, and staggering—Smith sober is cool, clear- headed, and cautious. Smith sober is hearty, heaithy,and bappy. Smith dronk was ill-bred, ill-led. Smith sober is well- saved, well-behaved, and well shaved. THE MAINE LAW. The essential features of the law, are these. Acohol is necessary, for medicine and in the arts. It must be sold. The unrestricted traffic is ruinous to the com- munity. It must be sold only by safe and temperate men. Jn each town the select- men are to purchase, as the proper of the town, and with the town’s money, so much of alcoholic liquor, as they judge to be ne- cessary. This they are to entrast to some faithful man, who shall deal it out at cost to such persons as he is confident need it for medical and artistic purposes. For this service he is to receive a suitable sala- ry, so that there shall be no temptation to promote the sale. He isto keep a book, in which he is to record all that he sells, to whom sold, and for what purpose.— This book is always to be open to the in- spection of any one who may wish to look into it. No one else is to sell. Liquor is out- lawed. Wherever found, it is destroyed. Officers can searth stores, vessels, and all public conveyances, and destroy without compunction. No action for damages can be brought. If any one is found un- lawfully selling, is $20; for the second $30; 1 third, a fine and three months’ imprison- and approved by the Governor on the of June. reveal what Lord Joho Russell will say to tbis the for first offence aud for the ment.

Com. The Rev. Whitefoord Smith receptly delivered an Address before the Societies of Emory College,Ga. Among the constit- uents of true greatness, enumerated by Dr. S., are the power of Self Restraint, le» dustry, Intergrity, Courage, Humility, and Religion. In developing the last, he says: “If we unroll the historic pages and nar- rowly investigdte the mighty names which fame has there recorded—names which l.ve on in the memofies of posterity —we shall find that the traly great have never been destitute of some proper sense.of te, ligion. True, they may have lived under a dark dispensation, their views of Ge may have been very inadequate and ob- scure, and reckoned among the grossest of vices. In Socrates and Plato we look not for the lucid knowledge and bright experience of St. John or St. Paul yetthe one fell a martyr to his religious faith, and the other is said to have prophesied ofthe Messiah’s coming. It is religion - alone which gives dignity to man, and impor- tance to human nature. Nothing, surel is so degrading to our nature, and not ing so well calculated to divest man. of all nobility of the soul, as the skepticism which question his future existence— infidelity which consigns the hope of im- mortality to the grave—and the sensuali- ty which cuts offsevery aspiration after communion with God.

Spiritual Manifestations.—A number of gen- tlemen, engaged in the examination of this sub. ject, have been in the habit of meeting from time to time in thie cily, for the purpose of as- certaining what is true in the matter. They have collected many facts, (if the statements of persons of unblemished character can beta. ken as proof,) which go to show that the subs ject is worthy the profund attention and close investigation of the most enlightened and earn. est minds. ‘They are of opinion that ite facta, from evidences before them, are too numerous and well attested to be annihilated by sewspa, per witticismns, and far too remarkable and.va- ried in their character to be explained by or all the theories which have ascribed thei origin to human fraud and deception. For this reason, and prompted solely by a desire for further proof, and to give every candid i r an opportunity for personal investigation, they have taken measures to bring the subject more immediately before the public some time dering the next month, of which due notice will be given.—N.

Fesavary, 12, 1852. HOUSE OF, REPRESENTATIVES. “When the report closed yesterday, Mr. Stanly-was speaking on the compromise resolations, iu reply to Mr. Giddings, of Ohio, Mr. Stanly said: I repeat that whatev— er he (Mr. Giddings) advocates he renders odious. He refers to my course on the California bill ; and makes a reckless as~ sertion when he says that | am responsi- ble for the seven months’ delay on that measure. If there is oxe subject of all others on. which | am impregnable it is en this. I tried to get a vote on the Cal~ ifernia bill by offering a resolution to close the debate, and to get it passed at an earlier time than the gentleman did.— If any member is exempt from the charge, ] am the man. And where was the gentleman for a whole week early at the commencement of this:session 7 In Pennsylvania, embark- ed in the Kossuth humbug, then at the height of its poison and fever, and engag~ ed in discussing resolutions of the Aboli- tion Convention in Philadelphia, relative to the influenge of Kosssuth’s movements | on the slavey question in the United | States. Mr. Giddings. Will you bear me? Mr. Stanly. If anybody else wants to | bear you | will consent, (or worda simi~_ lar.) | Mr. Giddings. Isay the gentleman is | barking up the wrong tree. The resolu— | tions to which he refers were not passed | at the meeting when | was present but at | another time. Mr. Stanly.

Mr. Stanly, A few words! Mr. Giddings, The gentleman. in that contemptible manner, need not undertake to intimidate me from speaking the trath. Mr. Stanly. I hope that the gentleman will not knash his teeth so hard. He says I must not crack the overseer’s lash over him. We have no cracking of the lash over the slave. This is fancy; and none but felons and other bad people. And there ought to be bad negroes, when they see how badly white men act. [Cries of “Good” and laughter.] Who is here play- ing Overseer over whitemen? Who but he that throws his filthy gall, and assails everybody—northern Whigs, dough faces, and “vile slave-holders’—and he is the only man that actsinthat capacity. We do not raise the overseer’s lash over our slaves in North Carolina. If that man was in the Southern country no one would own him as a slave with a black skin.— If he was a free negro he would run wild, and in the course of three weeks be brot’ up tothe whipping post and Jasbed for stealing something from or slandering some of his neighbors. But I charge him with being at a certain convention and making a speech; and this he does not deny. And he gets over this hy saying that, if lintended to say what I do not say it is not a fact. .He was in Norristown, also, and , A message was about to be announced from the President of the United States, whien The speaker asked ‘the gentleman to suspend his remarks for a few moments. Mr. Stanly. (pointing to Mr. Giddings.) We ought to suspend that fellow by the neck. The message was received and placed wpon the table. Mr. Stanly resumed, I bave departed from my usual course of treatment to- wards that member, but his own insolence caused me to say something on this occa. sion. He rose and poured out his abuse onthe whole House and country. Ina moment of excitement { got up and re- minded hi:n of his misdeeds. He said my assertion was false. He has thrown the first stone and must take the consequen- ces. | beg pardon for having stooped to &@ controversy with him. Mr. Giddings, One word.

When the gentleman is brought forward by the serviles of the North to assail me and play the braggart for the dough-faces and Swiss guard of the North, I will say to him, if you go so low as you did to day | ean’t follow you.

Ou Tuesday, in the Senate, letters from M. Kossutu addressed to Mr. Firtaore, and like. wise to Mr. Kina, the President of the Senate were read. Petitions from Assistant Marshalls asking additional compensation for taking the Seventh Census were presented by Mr. Badger and others. The bill granting land to Iowa was debated. On Wednesday an animated debate arose upon a resolution to print the Kossuth letters above alluded to. Mr. Badger said that he had hoped the Sen- ale had got rid of this person altogether, par- ticularly after his military appearance in the Senate. He never expected that he would make his appearance here again in a literary capa. cily. Mr. Hamlin said that this was a letter from one whom all would admit was a very distin. guished individual; and as several Senators desired it should go upon the records of the Sen. | ate, be thought it proper that it should be printed. . Mr. Badger moved that the report be laid on the table ; knd, the question being taken, the | motion was not agreed to—yeas 16, nays 24. Mr. Borland said that the letters of Kossuth ad already been printed by the Senate; he could see no necessity for the publishing of these letters again. Mr. Badger said that it was not publicity that was sought for ; it was that this emana. | tion from the Governor, or chief magistrate of | the kingdom of Hungary, should be placed a. | mong the records and other official documents | of the Senate, and thus be preserved and hand. | ed down to posterity. Mr. Badger thought the Senator (Mr. Downs) | would have some difficulty in making good the | position tbat all those who were opposes to prin. | ting these letters wefe in favor of kicking Kos. suth out of doors, without giving him an oppor. tunity to make his bow. He was invited here, and received in this Chamber by the Senate. He then made his Low, or at least had the opportunity of doing so, and he retired from the | Hall at his own pleasure. The Senate had re- ceived his letter, and had treated it respectfully and it would be no disrespect if it was not print. ed. ‘There was one thing yet to be done, and | he was prepared at any moment to do it, and that was, to pass a resulution to defray the ex. penses of his entertainment while bere. In. stead of being desirous of preventing him from making bis bow and taking his leave, he (Mr. B.) would willingly withdraw all objection to the printing, if in case such was done, this per- son would make his bow and leave the country altogether. Finally by a vote of 21 to 20 the report of the Committee was agreed to, and the letters were ordered to be printed. The Hou-+:has been debating a bill repeal. ing the proviso of a bill limiting the mileage of - delegate from Oregon. 11 was finally pass. From the National leliiacectr THE ROAD TO RUIN. Certainly, were any considerable portion of the people of the United States affected with the contagion of lolly which seems to have attend- ed the progress of M. Kossuth from Harrisburg to Pittsburgh, in Pennsylvania, and from Pirts. burgh to Columbus, in tae State of Ohio, this country might with reason be considered on the rvad to rvuin—of its character for political wisdom at least, and evea fur common sense, if not of its present prosperity and future hopes. Upon the reception of M. Kossuth at the rooms of the Maryland Institute, in the city of Baltimore, it will be recollected. that certain Resolutivns, identical with this of the Harris- burgers, were moved fur adoption by one of the Judges of the State, who submitted them, as he himseli declared, at the request of M. Kossuth, Mr. Giddings. One word more. pre | adopted by the shouts of the People, all were. ; ht was reserved for the State of Ohio, how- ever, to outstrip the Ba t Kossuthites in the blindness of the idolatry and the profundity of their prostration. In evidence of which we place before our readers the following publica. tion by the “Ohio State Association of the Friends of Hungary,” of which the Governor of the State (the Hon. Reuben Wood) is Presi- dent, surrounded, in the discharge of his Hun. garian functions, by a galaxy of the leading stars of the State; [Tae OFFICIAL PROGRAMME. } “ The following resolutions express the lead. ing topics of the address of Kossuth before the * State Association of the Friends of Hungary,’ ] | on Saturday evening last, and were drawn by Kossuth for the Association, at their request, afier having been formally adopted as the sense of the meeting : “1. Resolved, That, acknowledging the sov- reign right of every nation to dispose of its own domestic concerns, and to alter i(s institu- tions and the form of its Government as suits its own necessities, to be one of the fundamen. tal laws of nations, and the armed interference of whatsoever for Power with this sovereign right to be a violation of these laws, we do deem the Russian intervention in the affairs of Hungary a violation of the law of nations, which, if repeated, would be their fresh viola- tion, and should not be regarded with indiffer- ence by the people of the U. States; and this the more, because, in the late struggle in Hur- gary, the people of the United States (in lan. guage of the resolutions of the General Assem- bly of Ohio) recognise a struggle in behalf of those great principles which underlie the struc- ture of the Government of the United States ; and therefore consider that an armed interfer. ence against them is, in effect, an insult, and &n allack upon the United States; and any narrowing of the sway of those principles is a most dangerous weakining of the influence and power of the United States themselves.’ “2. Resolved, That it is the duty of the Uni ted States to maintain their right of a commer. cial intercourse with all nations willing to ac. cept it, whether they be in a state of revolution against theirown Government or not ; and that, with the view of approaching scenes on the con. tinent of Europe, we do urge upon the General Government to take some prompt measures four the protection of the trade of the United States in the Mediterranean sea. 3. Resolved, That we acknowledge the le. gitimate character of the Declaration of Inde- pendence of Hungary, issued in 1849, and de. clare that that Declaration of Independence has lost nothing of the legitimacy of its armed inter. ference, which was itself a violation of the laws of nations ; and that, anxious to see Hungary restored to this its independence, we regard it the duty of the Congress of the United States to recognise its proclaimed independence at the earliest convenient opportunity.” From this statement of the ‘ Association ” itself, it is plainly apparent that the huzzas al the conclusion of his speech before the Associ- ation were considered as an adop:ion of the “ leading topics” of that speech; whilst, as if to show how ill able they were to define the po- sitions which they had “formally adopted,” they resorted to M. Kossutn himself, and, giving him a blank sheet of paper, requested him to write down their Resolutions. And of this act ol servility to the purposes of this “ Peter the Hermit of a new Crusade,” so far from mani- esting any compunction or mistrust, they come, forward, and, with the most winning simplicity tell the whole story of how they came to a knowledge of their own conclusions | And see with what glee the Magyar exulls in the easy faith of these worshippers of his, and how he plays with their credulity, whilst he magnifies these Resolutions and their profes. sions and huzzas into a consequence remarka- bly contrasting with their actual insignificance and emptiness! The following are the closing paragraphs of the speech delivered by him be- fore the Legislature of the State : “ Sir, there are (wo remarkable coincidences. The State of Ohio and myself have the same age. ‘The very year when your Constitution was framed I wasborn. My breast has always heaved with intense interest at the name ol Obio. It was as if something of supreme importance lay hidden from me in that name, to which my future was bound, by the very year of my na. livity. ‘This day my anticipations are realized. “ The second coincidence is, that the tidings of the present day will just reach Washington | city when the Senators of the United States sit down in judgement about the question of Inter. | national law, and pronounce upon your country’s foreign policy.

There is a talk of establishing a mint there. The rumor of the addition of thirty-five thousand troops to the army of Great Britain is contradicted. Captain Penny is getting up an expedi- tion to go in search of Sir John Franklin. A rumor is current among the Liberals that Lord Palmerston and the Earl of Derby are about to form a new adminis- tration. The London “ Times” contains a long protest, from the executors of Louis Pbil- ippe to President Napoleon, against th2 confiscation of the Orleans property. In Denmark the Ministry has been re- constructed in such a manner as to give much satisfaction to the people. FRANCE. The public condition of France centin- ved to be much agitated by the anti Or- leanist decrees, and the public reproba- tion of these measures was as loudly ex- pressed as the Reign of Terror permitted. The Constitutionnel of the 27th snnounc- ed that, in consequence of the defection of his friends, and the shock sustained by the public mind by reason of these de- crees, the President had resolved to sub- mit them for ratification to the Senate and Assembly. Le Patrie of the 29th, however, denies the statement upon Gov- ernment authority, and upon the same day the former journal was placed under cen- sorship for the article. It was represented in some quarters, that, although the President would not rescind or modify the decrees, he had pro- mised an indemnity to the Orleans Fami- ly ; but the prevalent belief was that the decrees would never be executed to the extent threatened. The testamentary ex- ecutors of Louis Philippe have issued an opinion, signed by the most eminent mem- bers of the bar, declaring the decrees ille- gal. The President gave a grand dinner on the 26th ultimo to the English Ambassa- dor, at which he expressed regret at the prevalence of a belief that he intended hostilities against England, and declared his respect for the people of England, and that he had no such intention. A despatch from Paris, dated the 30th, says that the Minister of the Interior has sent a circular to the Prefects, directing them to set at liberty such of the political prisoners as can be liberated without dan- ger to society. M. Duchatel, one of the Regents of the University, is in exile. The Moniteur of the 26th publishes M. Fould’s financial expose, showing an esti- mated deficit of the year of 20.000,000 francs, which was considered satisfactory on the Bourse. M. Fould refuses to re- turn to his office until extensive modifica- tions of the Orleans decrees are conceded. M. de Morny likewise refuses, without a material change of policy. M. Dupin’s resignation did not seem'to surprise the President, but none of the journals were permitted to publish it. Prince Jerome Bonaparte has been nominated as President of the Senate, and M. Maynard, a Senator, as First Vice President. The Presidents of the six sections of the Council have also been appointed. The Council will begin its fanctions im- mediately.

QOur part of the country seems at present to be infested with a set of scoundrels who are swindling the people with counterfeit money. A man recently passed $100 to Mr. William | Coston, of Edneyville, Henderson county—two $50 bills on the bank of the State of South Carolina. He came to Mr. Coston’s riding a very fine stallion, which was ridden down, and bought a mare from Mr.C. He left late in the evening and said he was going to Asheville ; but it appears he went only a short distance in that direction, and tarred out in the woods and killed the stallion by cutting bis throat, and then came back by Mr. C’s in the night, and nothing further is known of his course. We have not learned by what name he passed. A lew days agoa man with a little wagon and a very poor horse stopped at the house of Mr. Frank Logan, a few miles from this place, and bought $10 worth of bacor, passing a coun. terfeit 850 bill of the same kiod as the above, and receiviog $40 in change. covered it was counterfeit and started in pursuit of the man, and at our last accounts had not re- turned. We have heard no description of the spuri ous bills. — Mountain Banner. Capsize at a Ship Launch— Boston, Feb. 1.—The new ship Lady Franklin, was launched this afternoon, and being fully rigged and without ballast, was capsized by the wind as soon as she touched the water. There were about forty persons on board, but they all succeeded in cling— ing to the rigging until they were res— cued, receiving no further injury than a cold bath.

Cievevanp, Onio, Fes. 16.—Our citizens are now in the greatest possible state of excitement in consequence of the discove- ry, a few hours ago, of the remains of sev- eral subjects—the remains of dead bodies. They were found near the Homeopathic College. A gentleman present recognis- ed among them the corpse of a daughter of his, who had died a short time previ- ous.

Fire at Wilmington.—The estimated loss by fire at Wilmington on Wednesday evening of last week, is set down at about $17,000. A more extended account will be found in another column.

Homicide.—Another marder was re- cently perpetrated in Bladen county. It occurred in a fracas between James Mote, aged 80 years, William Rich and Allen Cain; the latter, a boy of 16 years. They were all drunk, so says the record. Mote struck young Cain several blows, and was pursuing him when Cain struck the old man on the head with a piece of board, and felled him to the ground. He died a few days afterwards, though it is not posi- tively certain whether he died of the blow, or of a fall while chasing Cain. Scene in the House of Representatives. —We publish in this paper, a scene in the House, between Mr. Sranty of N. C., and: the noted abolitionists Grppines. It is amusing, and we really think Mr. Sranty is excusable for departing so far from the common courtesies of debate, as he did on this occasion. Extension of the Woodworth Patent. An attempt will be made to have the Woodworth Patent on his Planing Ma- chine, extended another seven years. It is undoubtedly wrong to deprive any man of the benefits of an invention; but it is equally wrong to grant a particular indi- vidual a monopoly. A further extension of this Patent, would therefore, bea public Wrong, and one which should be resisted by every proper means. Congress, it is hop- ed, will not grant the petition which it is understood will be pressed upon it for the exclusive benefit of those concerned in this Patent. On the night of the 12th January, Mr. Tho. mas Parker acccideatally fell overboard from a Steamboat in the Arkansas river and. was drowned. He got up late in the night, it was extremely cold, his feet slipped on the ice on the lower guard of the boat. He was heard to call for help and that he was drowning. Noas- sistance could be rendered him, and he bas not been heard of since. He was emigrating with his family to the upper part of Arkansas, where he formerly lived in 1844. The relatives of the deceased and the relatives of his widow re. side in this county. He bas left two children.

The Road was ac-. ly so located, passing through sboro..

I positively never saw him intoxicated, nor ever heard of his being 90; and of course he was not meant to be one of them. of any one ; and a8 Mr. Bencini feels conscious of his innocence, I would simply remark that a clear con- science is a most agreeable companion, and would in- form him that it still remains with him to vindicate him- self. If he feels conscious that he has never been guil- ty of that most heinous offence, or more properly, crime of selling ardent spirits on the Sabbath day, why of course he could not have been the man meant, though in justice to all who are engaged in the business, I made rsona! allusion. >IT hope, however, to be able very soon to announce to the public that.Mr. Bencini has entirely quit this traffic, as I really do not believe he ever was intended for it by his Creator. I think he is aman of too fine feeling, too much politeness, and in every way far too much of a gentlemen, for the business. His heart must often have bled to its inmost core, at the situation of the drunkard’s peor, emaciated wife and ragged and starv- ing children ; and the thought would arise, perhaps I have been instrumental in their misery—and his reso- lution was formed to never sell another drop of the mis- erable fire water. But then the evil spirit was quick at his work, whispering, “ keep on, keep on, if you don’t some one else will ; the world will be no better ;” and as is usual with our poor weak race, evil suggestions most frequently predominate. Bat I hope he will soon feel convinced that he was made for higher and better purposes, and abandon this traffic. Until then, he is liable to receive the lashings of the women’s tongues, even if he does feel himself innocent: because they and their children are the principal sufferers by the traf- fic, and they have but the one weapon of defence, and they will use that, and it is right that they shoald, (and defend themselves as far as they can) against all grog- geries, distilleries, and every thing of the kind. By the way, I believe distilleries were first invented | by Satan himself, at any rate they have proved to be his most busy and successful agents. Very respectfully, Salisbury Feb: 25th, 1852. A LADY. For the Watchman. LIBERTY !—LIBERTY THE WIDE WORLD OVER. Mr. Editor :—Did you ever see Kossuth, the Magyar of Hungary? You have no doubt read some of the small scraps which have occasionally appeared of late in our political and religious weeklies. He is a great man, who doubts it? He knows a great deal ;—but I verily be- lieve, he does not know every thing. He seems very well to understand what is meant by liberty, and free governments, and we have his good wishes inscribed and recorded, for the whole world. Freedom I say to Hun- gary. ou have also seen some account in your exchanges about the recent revolution in glorious old France, the land of Napoleon Bonaparte, Voltare, Tom Paine, &c. GLoriovs Lisgrty! that now prevails under the free and noble souled Lewis Naratzon. The people, yes the dear people, over these, have just elected their Pre- sident for ten years. Lewis Napoleon instructed them to do it, and told them how to do it—and then they did the thing up brown, just as he told them, and he puash- ed the trash and oppression‘out of their way. Grorious Liserty!! They had a liberty ticket! Napoleon does up the other matters of government after his ipse dixet—and so he told them how to elect him, he jast got up a liberty tickei, and he made them go it, and they went it like free men. They had a liberty ticket —and they all voted freely, the liberty ticket. Mr. Editor, there must be some great, and mighty charm, in this thing called a Lisgerty TICKET! ell, as how, what does the thing mean? Laserty Ticker, in capitals looks brilliant on an election—for Town Of- Jicers. It attracts the aged and the young of a Corpor- ate Town—members of the different Churches—Sons of Temperance, Free and accepted Masons—Odd Fel- lows— and all good men, and true, rush to the polls.— The Jupaes, the Lawyers, the Physicians, the Mer- chants, and Mechauics, etc.—are all wonderfully taken with the—Liserty Ticket, and they go it with a vim, against the Temperance Ticket, and snow it under so deep, as the Dutch say, we cannot see it any more yet. Bat what is meant by the liberty ticket? I am no adept at defining compound words or sentences. But as the question is asked, I will try my hand at answer- ing. According to Webster, not: Daniel, but Noah, it means, I say, liberty—means—to take the liberty todo, or say, any thing—or freedom from restraint. Ticket means, a slip of paper by which one gains admission to any place, as, a ticket toa play house, a rail road car, &c. Then liberty ticket means to go unrestrained where you please—do what you please, buy what you please—sell what you please—drink liquor when you please, as much as you please—as long as you please— what kind you please—and where you please—in the stil] house—in the dogery—after, or before you get up in the morning, or go to bed at night—at the table, or | in the bar room—at my neighbors, or my own house— at my uncles, or my cousins—on the high road, or on the rnalL RoaD—asleep or awake—on the mountain top, or in the valley—by sea or by land—when sick or well —by way of medicine or as a beverage—when wet or when dry—when cold or when hot—when naked or when clad—while eating or after, or before meals. O glorious liberty !' glorious liberty ticket ! stand by me ; who would not stand by thee? Stand by me thou wilt, when I am rich, and when I am poor, when married and unmarried—when old and when young—and grant the privilege to drink when, @ courting man, and to swear to my lady love, that I have quit, and now, ne- | ver drink, a drop—swear to my father and mother that I have not drank a drop since Christmas. Freely granted my friend. O glorious, sweet, blessed Linen- TY TICKET ; who would not deposit thee in the box on election day ? But now, Mr. Editor, since the liberty ticket prevail- ed, I can get drunk when I please, go home drank, lick my wife, drive her and the children out into the cold streets all night. Exquisite pleasure ! And then, more- over, I feel free to quarrel and fight, and tell lies, and occasionally—a littlh—I can curse and swear in the streets, and whoop and hollow much more boldly—and abuse them old hypocrites, of the different churches, who pat the Liserty Ticket in the box—and them fool Sons of Temperance who were so intimidated that they cast their votes for the LIBERTY TICKET—or were kept from voting the Temperance Ticket for fear that the —— would desert them. ; up to his principles, and what he professes, fodder in the rack, or no fodder. ; O glorious ticket of liberty—I feel like a new man ‘ever since the glorious triamph of correct principles— and it makes one feel like fighting for Hungary, down trodden Hungary—and if Kossuth comes along these diggins, I, for one, will enlist and go with him, and fight the Russians and Austrians like a tiger, for the liberty ticket, intervention or. non-intervention. I understand that in the city of Raleigh, or Puffing- burg, that the Tempernnce Ticket was elected, and that the city Commissioners have since refused Pg ° cense several, highly honorable, and superlatively = spectable , of good moral character and well avouched for, to sell the good cretters; rum, | Steal dy, whiskey, wine, ete., ete.

We had some startling accounts of the pro gress of polygamy among the Mormons of Utab, but their practices seem to be propriety itsell, red to those which prevail among a s0- ciety, which calls itselt * Perfectionists,” and glaims to be religious and christian. The pe- éuliatity of the system of the Perfectionists, is that-all jaws, both buma and divine, that are designed to regulate the marriage relation are aet aside and denounced, while the unrestrain- ed indulgence of the human passions is prac- tised, wot merely as the means (o present en- joyment, but as means of grace or helps to ho. iness. The founder of the Society is 4 grad- uate of a New England College, a student in two theological seminaries, and now the editor of 4 paper, published in New York, to sustain and advocate his doctrines. The cenire of this sect is in the town of Le. woz, Madison county, N. Y., where about 150 men, women and children live together in one house ; with no distinction of property, tamily ‘er authority. Each one does what seems good inbis own ef€s. ‘The Bible is their nominal constitution, and how curivusly they must fullow its teachings, is evidevt from the fact, that they disavow all separate or individual right in “pro. rty, wives and children.” Literally, * they ve ll these things common.’ But the sect is by no means confined to Oneida and Madi. son counties. In New York, Brooklyn, and in Newark, N, J., and in many other places, there are groups of practical members. Fhe New York Observer, in a notice of the propaganiists, says, Ia Utah among the Mormons, the distinction of husband and wile is rigidly maintained, and non-interventivn insisted upon even at the peril of life. But inthe Oneida Association, and in the boarding houses established on similar prin. cine in this vicivity, these distinctions are ut- priy abolished, and the freest licentiousness practised as the highest developments. We have been furnished with a large number of certificates signed by females of this communi- ty; stating that at first they were fearful they Were not doing right, but the longer they have practised on the system here pursued, the holier are sure they grow. On the principle, we that where there is no law there is no transgression, they have abrogated all authority bat inclination, and they never sin, because they never do any thing bul what they like. The seader may be amused at the practical opera- tion of the association at Lenox, as we find it detailed in one of their reports, which says : ©The children are trained in a general nur- sery, and if is found to be allogether a more com- le task to take care of six in the new way than it had been to wait on one in ordinary eir- cumilances. ‘The only drawback wasthe tem. y distress of the mothers in giving op their ittle ones to the care of uthers, which made occasion for some melo dramatic scenes ; but the wounds were soon healed, and the mothers learned to value their own freedum and oppor- tunity of education, and the improved condition of their children more than the luxury of a sickly material tenderness.” : way they sleep is curious. One large room is sei apart for a dumitory, and each bed is encompassed hy a sort of square tent, so that one stove warms the whole space, and “as the principles and habits of the association are more gregarious than usual, the sacrifice of privacy isa smal! affair.” The Boy and the Brick—A Fable.—A boy hearing his father say, “twas a poor rule that would not work both ways.” said: “ If father applies this rule about his work, I will fest it in my play.” ~~ Soe setting up a row of bricks, three or four inches apart, he tipped over the first, which, striking the second, caused it to fall on the third, which dveriurned the fourth, and so on through the whole course, until all the bricks lay prostrate. * Weil,’ said the boy, ‘each brick has knock. ed down his neighbor which stood next to him; Tonly tipped one. Now 1 will raise one, and eee if be will raise his neighbor. I will see if raising one, will raise all the rest.’ He looked in vain to see them rise. * Here, father,’ said the boy, ‘is a poor rule; "will not work both ways. ‘They knock each other duivn, but will not raise each other up.’ * My son,’ said the father, * bricks and man- hind are‘alike, made of clay, active in knocking each other down, but uot dispised to help each other up.’ * Father,’ said the boy, ‘does the first brick represent or resemble the first Adam ? The ee ge in the following Moral—* When men fall, they love com rs but when “ an ee love a stand Geos Sounder brick, aud see others prostrate, Christian as? withem,’— ; ary. | Well Put.—Inquisitive children sigh ask questions that bother old folks : y td answer, e. g. “ Gf be an inquisitive Jitle gicl, * will rie wr people live together w bre h all ; heaven 7” me “* Yes, my dear, they will be all alike shere.” “Thea, ma, why don’t rich and poor Chris tiane associate together 1” It. was one of the in most’ of towns in the interior of New which are to be “tied up “to” the York, that the following scene actoally oceurred, as can be proved by a cload of witnesses who have heard the landlord tell the story... The. botel referred t6 was, on ao casion of which we are spa : full, and the nephew of landlord lay sick in one of the rooms on thé third floor. He was to receive medicine during the night from the bands of a person who, bad been procured to “watch” with _him.— The landlord had instructed the aforesaid watcher to administer a potion of some little physic to the patient at twelve o'clock ; the dose to be repeated at cer- tain hours of the night. “ He is rather techy.” said the landlord, “and you had better keep out of his room until you go uptagive bim the medicine.’ “Ob, forthat manter,’ replied the walch- er, Who Was'a novice in the vocation, * I prefer tosit here ;” and he eyed“4the sofa which was in the apartment in @ suspi- | cious Manner. * Well,’ said the landlord, you wont’t forget the number of his room?’ * No. sir.’ ‘And tell bim he must take his medi- cine without making such a confounded fuss as he made witb the last dose. Tell him that | say he must take it—it’s guod for him.” * Yes, sir.’ ‘Good night.’ *Good night.’ Boniface retired, and the watcher de- posited himself on the sofa, from which he was roused by his own snoring at a quar- ter before one. In dismay and confusion he seized the potion and hurried up stairs The sick man was lodged in No. 52, bot the nurse in his haste mistook No, 53 for it, and entering the latter, he saw a person lying in the bed, face upward, with his mouth wide open, respiring with that peculiar gurgle in the throat which indi- cates strong lungs and a plethoric habit. ‘Ab! mentally exclaimed the astute watcher, ‘he makes a fuss about taking bis medicine, does he? I'm _ blowed, though. if he don’t take one dose quietly — before he wakes up, in fact.’ The idea of giving a potion of bitter pbysic to a somnolent patient was suffi- ciently ridiculous ; but when we consider that the watcher had entered the wrong room, and was about to administer it to the wrong man, the affair becomes still more ludicrous. Our friend, the watcher, acted prompt- ly, and having filled the bowl of a large spoon with the nauseating mixture, he forced it down the throat of a sleeping traveller, who happened to be a healthy Hibernian that had never tasted physic before in his life. The Irishman strug- gled and bit the spoon severely, but the watcher plunged it still deeper in his throat, saying, as he did so, ‘Ob, but you must take it—the landlord says you must!’ The nasty dose went down, but when Patrick recovered his breath and began to pour forth his objurgations in his own peculiar rhetoric, the watcher discovered that he bad committed an egregious blan- der, and siezing his light, fled from the room. The astonished and enraged treveller sprang from his bed, and was soon heard | rushing about in search of the landlord, | swearing vengeance against him and all | connected with his house. On he came, tearing through the passages, banging the doors, and roaring like a grizzly—bull. *Qo-oo-oh ! It's kilt I am, be dad, any how, Au-ugh ! I'm chawed with poison ! Divil a bitiv a furrum in the wisthern country will | buy now—for I am a dead nan! The pison is ating me up just.— Och ! it’s enough to make a dog throw his father in the fire! Holy Saint Patrick ! Landlord! landlord! land-lo-o-0-0 r-r-rd!" Pat bad, by this time, desciaded to the floor on which the landlord’s apartment was situated, and the worthy host, hear- ing this hillabulloo, opened his door and asked what was the matter ? ‘Ah! is it there ye are? Come out for a bating—or let me come till ye! A d————d poorty house yere kapen, to sind yere man into an honest traveller's room to pison the innocent divil in his slape! Ugh ! the bitter, nasty pison! come out here. an’ I'll lather ye like blazes *What’s the matter, my good triend 7’ inquired Boniface. ‘Ow ! the matter is it?—when I was waked from my swate slape and a big dirty blaggard stood fornint me, rammin a big /a-adle down my trote full ov pison —an’ sez he, ye must take it, the land- lord sez so: And now, what’s the matter, sez you!

I'll tache ye to pison a dacint thraveller, that’s atid to buy land in the wisthern coun- try The Irishman here became entangled in the meshes of a wooden settee which stood in his way, and, at the same time, the landlord's wife seized her wrathy lord —although a “host,” in himself, she was not willing to risk him in a rough and tumble fight iv the dark—having pluck- ed him back into the sleeping apartment, “i locked the door and bolted it secure: y: The prospective purchaser of “wisthern lands,” -baving -exiricated..bis legs and arms from those of the settee, still thirsted for the landlord’s bleed. ’ Bring’ me’ till the martherin ould vill- yan; let me come at him !

A nettle im your finger is enough to spoil your pleasure, and bring down your b it glee, ag So the sweetest, the most cliaging affection is often shaken by the slighest breath of un- kindness. An unkind word from a beloved one is a thorn to a sensitive mind, that sends a pang to the heart. A cross louk is a thistle in theeye. A cold expression from a friend is a nettle in the finger, ‘These litile things alien. ate affection and spoil friendship. These are the * little foxes that, spol! the vine.” ‘The deli- cale rings and tendrils of the vines aré agitated by the faintest breeze of summer. The little foxes, running over the vines, break off those tender cords that biad them to the trellis, ‘aad leave them at the mercy of the winds. If children and youth would be bappy, they must pluck out the thorns of ill temper, the thistles of envy, and the nettles of jealousy, and drive away all the little foxes that walk rudely over and break the tendrils of affection that cling around the heart.—N. Y. Observer. A Definition of Bigotry.—Old Job Dundee Was al one time one of the most popular ' dar. kies’ in ourcity. He was akind of a patriarch among the colored population, ang universally liked by the white folks. About the time that he stood ai the head of the New street church, he was subpanaed before ‘Squire (aow Judge) Wisemnn, to testify to the character of a negro who was charged with petty larceny. * Well, Job,’ said the ‘Squire, ‘ what do you know of the character of the defendant ?’ * Well, I knows considerable ’bout de color- ed indiwidual, and { neber fin’s him guilty ob only one fence,’ replied Job, and with great reverence. * Well, what is the nature of the offence you allude to ?’ * Why, de niggar am bigoted.’ * Bigoted, bigoted—doesn’t you know what dat am?’ ‘Why, no,’ replied the Squire, who is much of a wag. * Will you define the term, Jub P’ * Sartaainly, sartainly, I does. ed, a colored pusson must know too much for one niggar, and not enough for two niggars.’ Cincinnati Times. Another Earthquake at Memphis.—In the afiernoon of (He 23d ultimo the people of Mem. phis (Tenn.) Were startled by another earth quake, which, as represemed by the Enquirer of that place, seemed to come from the usual headquarters of all the earthquakes of the Soothwest—the direction of New Madrid, Mis souri. ‘The shocks continued in rumbling auc. cession about ten seconds, and were much se- verer than those experienced last May. A con- siderable degree of insecurity was generally felt by those who happened at the time to be enclosed by brick walls, and one or two chim. neys and some old brick walls in the southern part of the city were shaken down. A gentleman was writing a note at a coffeehouse, the other day, and perceiving an impertinent fellow looking over him as he wrote, wound up thus, “I should say more, were it not that an impudent poppy is looking over my shoulder.”— “ Upon my honor, sir,” said the man, “| have not read a word you have written.” 0 A rumseller in Wilmington saw a reformed man who had relapsed into his former habits, and was walking along in. toxicated. He stepped up to him in a laughing manner, and remarked kipdly— “What! you've got to drinking again, have you?” The dronkard immediately exclaimed in a loud voice, and with up- lifted arm—* Yes all hel!’s rejoicing !”— Thus ended the interview. A Wife Killing her Husband's Assailant. — A few days ago a man named McKimmich went to the house of John R. Sisk, a neighbor, near Marietta, Ohio, and, telling him he intend- edto kill him, snapped a pisto! at his breast three times ; and finding it would not go off, he threw him down and commenced beating bim over the head with it. Sisk and bis wife both cried murder, and finally Mrs. Sisk seized a chair and struck McKimmich over the head, fracturing bis skull so badly that he died in a few minutes. The coroner’s jury immediately acquitted her. The Morning and Evening of Life.—The following is an inscription on a tomb-stone in Massachusetts. It is beautiful : “ T came in the morning—it was spring, And I smiled ; I walked out at noon—it was summer, And I was glad ; I sat duwn at even—it was autumn, And I was sad; I laid me down at night—it was winter, And I slept.” Evading the Maine Liquor Law.—Svome in- genious devices are adopted in Maine to evade the stringent liquor law of that State. A few days ago a coffin, at first supposed to contain the remains of some deceased person, was car. ried through the streets in Portland, but the sus. picions of the police being excited, it was open. ed, and lo! it was tound to be full of bottles of whiskey, which were inimediately confiscated. lt is said a wag who saw the operation re, marked that, contrary to the usual course ‘of things, the coffin in this case contained aot the body but the spirit. “ How do you do, sare ?” said a French- man to an English acquaintance. “Rath- er poorly, thank you,” answered the oth- er. .~ Nay, my dear sare,” said the French- man, “don’t thank me for your illness, 7 cannot help it.” A poetic young man, in describing the movements of a tot of gold fish, says :— “They flashed and darted about like bright hopes through a lover's brain.”— That young man should be looked to. his fellow coontrymads a. good - beating, | 4 to give him a call.

Land destined for corn has recently participated in this)serplos with most decidéd advantage, and it is highly probable that the increasing use of that article (guano) will thoroughly revo- lationize our system of maouring, and that the corn erop will eventually be the ex- clusive recipient of the home-made ma- nure, as that of wheat has hitherto been. The sandy and gravelly loams on the more elevated land, distant three or more miles from the river, are better adapted to the production of this grain than the clay soil below, over, nearly the whole surface of the country. However, the soil, solor heat, moisture, and length of season are so favorable to its cultivation as to pro- duce, in average years, from 35 to 65 bushels per acre, (as the quality and na. tural strength of the soil may vary.) with suitable attention, without manuring, and a fourth or a third more if manured. The cost per bushel to the producer, when de- livered at the mills, under the treatment sketched above, aftermaking a reasona- ble allowance for the value of the stalks, is estimated closely at from 20 to 25 cents per bushel of 56 pounds, and the present value for new crop, 55 cents.— The most recently approved method of feeding to horses is in the whole grain; to horned cattle, in the form of meal, fre. quently mixed with an equal quantity of oatmeal ; to hogs, the same, after fermen- tation, except in the last stages of feeding for slaughter ; then whole grain, and pore water for drink. Cooking the meal, and also the grain, is frequently practised on a smal! seale with decided advantage, but no experimenis are known to bave been made with sufficient accuracy to serve as data to estimate the extent of its economi- cal advantages. The whole crop finds a ready de:nand at home—at the mills, fac- tories, public houses, and dairymen, and also for feeding the large droves of beeves during their transit through our country from the South and West to the Eastern markets: in this case, it is fed in the ear, as the most advantageous and economi- cal for the drover. The crop suffered se- vere injury the present year, from the vi- olent storms of the 19th of July and later ; and the great quantity of rain during the season was determined to crops generally, and particularly on clay soil, retarding the ripening some ten days. It escaped the frost, however, and the crop altogeth- er is above an average one, and has been well secured. OATS. The oat crop, in our system, is almost invariably restricted to land cultivated with corn the previous year, and owing to the common opinion that it is a great im- povisher of the soil, is in no great favor with the farmer. But for the small ex- pense attending its cultivation, the con. venient time of sowing and barvesting, and also the necessity for cultivating the ground preparatory to the wheat and grass crops in the succeeding autumn, which perbaps it serves well, it would be generally abandoned. Corn ground of the preceding year is ploughed at any convient time, when the frost will permit in the spring, no later than the Ist of May; 3 bushels of seed per acre are sown im- mediately, well harrowed, frequently pass- ed over with the roller, and left without further attention, until it ripens, general- ly late in July, when it is cut with the cra- dle, bound in convenient sized sheaves, and secured in the barn. The whole crop of 1850 was entirely prostrated by the storm on the 19th of July. Much of it could not be bound, but was stored in the barns in bulk. The quantity was about equal to an average, and the quality fair. No manure is required to this crop : thin soil, if the season is favorable, is well adapted to this grain. On strong ground, the straw grows rank and weak, is liable to fall, and the grain perish. The crop is very susceptible of injury from drought, during any, stage of its growth, but singu- larly exempt from the depredations of in- sects or other enemies. Under favoroble circumstances, from 30 to 50 bushels per acre are the osual yield, if cultivated with proper care, without strict regard to the quality of the soi!. A white, and also a black variety, have been eyltivated here many years, and esteemed the best adapt- ed to oar locality. The cost of produc- tion is estimated to average 21 cents per bushel ; the usual value from 30 to 50 ets. ; at present.44 cents... The whole crop finds SALISBURY, N. C., @ ready market in the county, and is used as food for horses in the whole grain ; for dairy cows and hogs, in the form of meal mixed with equal parts of cornmeal, From the Christian Statesman. Africans in Liberia—their customs and superstitions. BY DR. J. W. LUGENBEEL. FORM OF GOVERNMENT. The goverament among the different tribes of native Africans in Liberia and its vicinity may be regarded as a kind of compound of the patriarchal, the oligarchal, and the monarcbi. cal. In every tribe, there is one man who is recognised as the head king of the tribe, to whom all tLe other kings and chiefs of the tribe are nominally subordinate. African kings, however, are very numerous. Indeed, in al. most every community, there is one man who is regarded as a king : his jurisdiction extend. ing over a single hamlet, or a small {ract of country, including within its limits several sma! hamlets. As io European manarchical Governments so among the native tribes of Africa, royalty and ar ergs authority are usually hereditary. e legal successor of a deparied king howev. er, cannot assume his royal! station and author. ity without the coucurrence of all the other kings of the tribe : and not uafrequently some other individual, not of the royal family, is appointed by the other kings, wirh the concurrence of the people over whom he is to preside, in conse. quence of the minority of the rightful s ucessor —though he may be a man of thirty years of age, or more—or of sume other difficulty either imaginary orreal. The kingly succession is but so scrupulously observed in Africa, as in Europe. And not unfrequently,' like Bona. parte and Cromwell, some daring “adventurer, sometimes of another and distant tribe, will a. surp the power and authority rightly belonging to another, and set up a dominion or kingdom for bimselt, vi ef armis, as in the case of the celebrated Boatswain, who rendered valuable assistance to the early settlers of Liberia. In most cases, the title is the only thing of which African kings can boast. None of them are ever burdened with wealth. Indeed, most of them are miserable poor. I bave seen hall a dozea kings, and as many chiels and headmen al one time, silling on the ground, as humble mendicants, in sabmissive patience, awaiting to receive a “dash” (present) of a few pounds of tobacco, from a geutleman in Liberia, at whose place of residence they had assembled. In addition to those persons who are digni- fied with the honorable appellation of king, there are others of subordinate authority, who are generally called headmen. In each bamlet, however small, there is a headman, who has more or less control over all the other resideuts of the place, and who is responsible for their conduct. The principal mark of distinction be. tween the kings, or the beadmen, and the rest of the people, usually consists in the size of the garments which they respectively wear ; those of the former generally being rather more ex- tensive (han those of the latter, ‘Their style of living does not differ materially from that of any of their subjects, and their palaces cannot generally be distinguished from the residences of their untitled subordinates. NATIVE HOUSES. The natives about Liberia invariabiy reside in towns, or hamlets, few of which contain more (han five hundred inhabitants, and most of them less than two hundred. The whole couatry, except in the immediate vicinity of these towns or hamlets, which are very numerous, presents a deep unbroken forest, the solemn silence of which is seldom disturbed, save by the footsteps and voices of travellers, and the noise of wild animals. Tbe houses or buts in which they reside are generally rudely construcied of sticks, usually lined with strong bamboo mats, with which the dirt floors are also sometimes cover. ed. Their buts are always covered with thatch, and sometimes they are daubed outside with mud. The floor of the house is sometimes raised a foot or two above the ground, and it consists of a stout mat, supported by bamboo sticks, which serve tbe purpose of sleepers,— In buts of this kind, the space between the floor and the joists is seldom more than three or four feet; consequently, they cannot stand erect in these kind of dwellings. Some of their buts are constructed with a little regard to taste and convenience, some are pretty substantially boilt but mest of them are filthy, smoking, ugly, dis- agreeable hovels, presentiug indubitable evi- dence of extreme indolence and improvidence on the part of the inmates, Their buts are sel- dom arranged in rows, or with any kind of sys- tem, but they appear to be erected solely with a view to the personal accommodation of the proprietors, without any regard to neatuess or regularity. A s:ranger would be more likely to loose his way, in travelling through a large Alrican town than in trying to get from the State House to the Charleston bridge, in the crooked city of Boston. STYLE OF DRESS. The almost universal style of dress of all the tribes to which I have alluded, consists simply of a piece of cotton cloth, or a cotton handker. chief, fastened loosly about their loins; in ad- dition to which akiad of hat is sometimes (aot generally) worn composed of the fibres of some one of the numerous indigeneous vegetable sub- stances, or of a kind of grass. In addition to the ordinary ™ girdle about the loins,” some of the natives, particularly the kings and headmen, wear a kind of robe, loosely thrown across one shoulder and wrapped around the body.—~ These robes are generally manulactured in the country, from the native cotton, which they spin by @ very simple though tedious process, and weave it into narrow slips, never more than six inches wide, by a process exhibiting @ litle in- genuity. but not less tedious than that of spin- ning. The natives of intertropical Africa sel- dom encumber their bodies with sbirts or pan- pe a snares ences, omnnng, West who are ially civilized, 1 two garments are woro Coie aequuies Hamlets ‘ton are scarcely ever seen. And most of the children, of both sexe¢; sup ‘about ig.a/state of entire nuidity. — Native NEW ‘SERIES. no king of covering is worn above the waist. And indeed, io man cases among the “fair sex,” especially those in the neighborbood of Cape Palmas, little aarrow sirip of cloth which they wear is not of sufficient dimension to afford material for the dress of a child’s doll-baby. Very few of tho natives, even among those who are con. siderably advanced in eivilization, ever appear io full dress, similar to that which is usually worn ia civilized'communities. While the ty. raat, Fashion, whose ideas of the fitness of things are as changeable as the color of the skin of the little chameleon, puls many foolish and extravagant notions into the heads of peo. ple in more highly-favored countries, the unte- lored native African acts independemily of bis controlling influence ; and being able to gratify the demands of hunger with the roots and fruits of bis native forest home, and to warm him self by the rays of the sun, ae philosophically concludes that “man wanis but litile here be. low,” and he treads bis way along the little win. ding fore st-path, amidst the profusion of wild flowers, and the mingled melody of purling sireams and warbling birds, or, in his light ca. noe, skims over the surface of the placid rivers or mounts over the rolling billows of the ocean, as cheerful and perhaps as happy, as the pam. pered man of wealih who revels amidst bis rich. es and his gorgeous attire. And perhaps ma. ny generations, yet unborn, will appear upon (he stage of lile, and then pass away, betore the aborigines of Africa shall have universally a. bandoned their degrading babits, and shall oc. cupy a station of social and domestic refinement and of intellectual and political exaltation, equal to that which is occupied by the Anglo-Saxon branch of the Caucasian race—il, indeed, that period ever will arrive in the history of our world. Attempts aT Forcery.—Two several at. ‘empts were made on our Banking Institutions on Satarday last, to pass off forged checks, both of which endeavors to raise the wind were sig. nally frustrated. A check for one bundred and forty-three dollars made payable to Jonn Surru or bearer, and signed Ropekt Martin, was presented by acolored boy fur payment at the counter of he Planters’ and Mechanics’ Bank accompanied with a note from said Smiru, re- questing that great care be observed in givi the boy the moneys, that twenty dollars of ihe a- mount be sent in small bills. This clumsey allempt, however, to forge the name of one whose signature was so well known at the in. stitution of which he has, for a series of years served as Director, at once excited the suspi- cion of the teller, andthe boy was detained, and a public officer seni for. ‘The boy, on being questioned, said that he was sent with the piec. es of paper by a white man who was waiting bis return a short distance from the Bank. He was (taken in custody by the officer, but on re. pairing to the place designated, no one was found to communicate with him, he having, doubtless, imagined from the long detention, that suspicion of the forgery was entertained. The other attempt was made on the South Western Rail Road Baok, where a check was presented by a black boy, signed Wa. Patron, for one hundred and fifly-three dollars, made payable to the same individual, and in this io- stance, also, admonishing the teller to be care. ful in transmitting the money. ‘The -teller of the Bank, like his brother officer at the Plant. ers’, was not (to be caught in this way. He , at once pronounced the check a forgery, but as Mr. Parton bappened to be present, refered it to him, who confirmed bis suspicions. As in the former case the boy was detained until the arrival of a police officer, The boy was questioned on the subject, and told a similar sto. ry about a while mao wailing his return, but on repairing with the officer to the place designa.- ted, the bird had flown. The boys were lodged in the Guard House, and examined yesterday morning by the May. or, who, on being made acquainted with the facts, commitied them for further examination. The cases were turned over to Magistrate Gy.es.—Charleston Courier. From Liberia.— Feb. 5. —Liberia papers to the 12th December have been- received by the Boston * ‘T'raveiler.” The distressing condition of affairs at Grand Bassa was the engrossing subject of interest.— In the attack upon Fiehtown Grando, the insur- gents were joined by Prince Boyer of Trade- town. ‘bey had marshalled forces from all quarters, with the intention of entirely destroy. ing the settlements at Grand Bassa. Other na. tive Chiefs and even foreign traders are impli- cated in the affair. The attack upon Fishtown was made Nov. 5th, the village was sacked and burned, and nine of the inhabitants murdered. Grando commanded in person, having about 300 troops—the garrison was taken by surprise. Among the murdered were 2 women and four ehildren—the bodies were mutilated in a borri- ble manner. It soon appeared that almost the entire Bassa Country aud Trade ‘Town had joined Grando’s rebellion and that Mr. Lawrence, au English trader was stimulatiog and aiding them. On the 11th Dec. a general attack was made on Bassa Cove at midnight, but was successfully repuléed, several of the assailants baving been killed. As the assailants fled to the wi roess the air is said to have resounded with “ Nabo, a cry of pain, the canpon of the Liberians hav. ing been well charged with slugs and grape shot. Scouting parties from Bassa Cove subse- uently atiack and broke up the enemies towns. in the 15th they made another and more des- perate attack on the Cove, in great numbers ; but were repulsed with the loss of from 30 to 50 killed and wounded, amongst them some of theirehief warriors. Afier this repulse Grando wanted to leave the country; but his allies would not let him. He will probably soon be ‘The slature met Dec. 1st.

Enveloped in flames on every side, with myriads of burning flakes and sparks showering all over it, the Journal office, neverthéless, stands it all like a Salamander, and comes out of the conflict scarcely singed. It wouldnt burn. We record the fact with much satisfaciion, and congratulate our stare, that it was our neighbors establish. ment and not our own.

Turning from the smoking ruin and looking the other way, bebold the Journal office as ugly and safe as ever, The juck is too much on one side.

As the morning was quite cold—snow having fallen the previ- ous night—and as the young woman had on neither shoes nor gown, not to mention other unknown appendages of female cos. tume—her forlorn condition attracted the sympathies of the passers by, one of whom we learn, posted off for the police, fully impressed with the idea that it was a case requiring magisterial investigation. After standing awhile at the door whieh had been so rudely and inhumanely closed a- gainst her, the poor girl received from a window above, a pair of shoes and a por- tion of wearing apparel. » As may be rea- dily suppcsed she speedily appropriated these articles to their accustomed use.— Whilst engaged in dressing, a lady and gentleman passed by ; their attention was arrested by the singular condition of the young wornan, and possibly their sympa- ties were excited: be this as it may, the girl was directed to follow them, which she did right willingly, and was soon lost to the gaze of the idlers who had stopped possibly to jeer and laugh at her misfor- tunes. As the affair has given rise to all sorts of rumors, we have endeavored to obtain the facts; the above statement con- tains, we believe, all that took place in the streets ; farther than that we could not go. Rich. Times. The Forest Divorce Case.—We were surprised to see advertised in the Raleigh Post, as for sale at that office, the New York Herald’s report of the Forest Di- vorce Case, containing “ all the evidence” —a work prepared to minister to a de- praved appetite, and abounding, it is said in filthy and disgusting details. We trust that the foreman bas acted in this matter without the advice of the worthy editors of the Post; but this will not relieve them from responsibility, and the Raleigh Times has dealt out to them a very jast rebuke. It is known that the Post is published at the State Institution tor the Deaf and Dumb, and in reference to that fact the Times takes it for granted that the Prin- cipal will exercise due vigilance to pre- vent the pamphlet from falling into the bands of the pupils—especially the girls. As the Times suggests, it may well be supposed that the people of thestate would prefer that the pupils should forego the advantages of education for a time, rath- er than be exposed to the contamination which the circulation of such a pamphlet might introduce among them. If “the office of the Weekly Post” can afford to do job work “at Norrueen prices,” we hope it will not andertake to introdoce Northern publications of this character among us at any price.— Hillsboro’ Record. er.

THE LITTLE CHILD. There is something peculiarly lovely and interesting in the character of a little child; so much so, that the more it is stu- died, the more interesting does it become. The Saviour of the world loved little children, and seleeted one as a model fo? his followers. Few persons, compata- tively, give its character the admitatioti which is due it; ‘and few seem to thiak Chirst meant what he said, when those words fell from his lips—“ Exeept ye be couneried: and become 4s little children,” Cc. Let us take a glance at the character of a little child. The present seems all with’ which it bas to do; no sad regrets of the past cast a gloom over its cheerful spirit. No anxieties as to thesfuture ; no distrac-’ ting.cares, distrusting doubt, or forbidding fears, ruffle the stream of hippiness that glides on and on in that joyous heart.— No sense of guilt darkens that sonny brow, no burning tears of shame dim the brill-: iant eyes, which speak of purityjand intios cence within. The child is happy, and as free from care as the little warbler that flits through the heavens. : It is true a tear, nay, many tears are seen upon its cheek at times; but t are like the droppings of the sunshine shower. An object of terror may pre- sent itself. and cause alarm; bot a mo-' ther’s‘kiss and soohbting tone can drive it all’ away. The child may have to walk’ through the dark, but it matters not how thick the darkness ; if it be held by a pa’ rent’s hand, there is not a doobt but that arm is sufficiently strong to protect it—' Should dangers threaten, let it but nestle! in the bosom which gave it life and all isi well. But the sweetest trait in all its character is its humility, of which we have not time or ability to speak. It is. also docile, teachable. In short; it is such as we must become in spirit, to inherit the’ kingdom of God.

Concord Mercury. MIND YOUR BUSINESS. It is really vexing to us to read, as ev- ery man should, some of the speeches of our Senators in Congress. We have read the remark by two of our Senators, at least, stating that however mucb they sympathized with the oppressed nations of Europe, they never would join in an alliance with tyrannical England. All right. Has such an alliance been propos- ed? We have not been able to come across any account of the pro ls. It would be well for people to stick to their legiti- mate business—discuss the affairs of their own country : “mind their business,” that’s their duty. In looking over the resolu- tions that have been introduced into the present Congress, we really feel ashamed of the conduct and ignorance of some of the honorable gentlemen in both branch. es, but more especially do we feel cha- grined at the impertinent interference in the affairs of other nations, to the neglect of our own. _ A resolution is introduced about interference in the affairs of other nations, and, lo-and-behold! a dozen long speeches are made, every one travelling round about European history, and end- ing without the least rese:nblance of any thing like ' minding your own business.” Another introduces a tesolution about Ex- iles from Ireland, and lo! as many patri- otic speeches are made, and not a soul of them can tell any thing about the facts of the case. Many of our Senators, mtn with a reputation for law knowledge, are exceedingly ignorant of the laws of for. eign countries, and with this ignorance they have the foolish habit of * not mind- ing their own business.” We see a ne- cessity for speaking thus, for while we see flaming patriotic speeches made about liberty, tyranny, &c., the important busi- ness of American patents is but merely noticed in the telegraphic reports. It is a shame to our cpuntry, that our Senators and Representatives should pay so much attention—and all of no use whaiever— to discuss business quite foreign to their legal duties, and neglect the important concerns of their own country. Geatle- men, will you take Franklin’s advice, “ mind your own business.” Look into the Patent Law strictly, and see if it requires to be amended, and if it does, do it quick- ly. Look into the question of extending the Woodworth monopoly, and see if the the invective so freely dealt out to the go- vernmenis of other nations. Scientific American.

Buy no More Blankets.—Mr. Editor : My motive in this communication, is to draw the attention of an economical sub- stitute for the negro blanket, viz: the “cotton comfort.” These articles, each of them worth about half a dozen ofthe ordinary nogro blanket, can be farnished at a cost of from 2510 30 cents. Each being six feet long, and four feet wide, even when the material is all parchased ; they would of course be cheaper when the refuse cotton of the plantation was carded into batts at home. Batts of fine cotton carded by machines can be had at from 25 to 30 cents per dozen. Six of these are snfficient for a comfort of the ahove dimensions. The material for the envelope being of the thinest and lightest cotton, can be had at three cents per yard, it will require 54 yards to the comfort.— The manutacture of these articles is so simple that any of the plantation women. on rainy days, invalids, and not engaged in out.door employments, would make an ample supply, nothing being required but a light rectangular wooden frame of the dimension of the required comfort. The adoption of this article throughout the South, for the use of negroes alone, would result in a saving of 75 cents to the plan- ters, and would consume from 60 to 70,000 bales of cotton. By adopting such measures as this, and turning their attention to the spinning and weaving of their crops, instead of shipping the raw material, our planters would effect much more than ever can re- sult from ‘Macon Cotton Conventions’.

Hunt, of that State, bas resolved to grant a ful! pardon to Antoine Lopez. the Spanish sailor who killed a policeman in the Fourth Ward. The pardon is grant- ed on the ground that the evidence of his killing the man is inconclusive; or that if he did kill him, there was po malice in the act: The Spanish Minister visited Al- bany for the purpose of bringing the case to the attention of the Governor, and the Executive has communicated to M.-Cal- deron’ de la Barca his intention to pardon The London Chronicle thus speaks of the last Presidential message.

But whea it is remembered that this unnatural al- liance is looked to by the factions of which it is camposed, as a means for the accomplish. ment of an object equally at heart by both, though the motives of action are ae diverse.as the poles, it ceases to be a wonder; and the minds of true Patriots every where, are aroused with a spirit of indignation, A contention between pugilistics for each others destruction, is, com- paratively, a small matter to the community in which they live ;.but when, in their imputent rage they fail of that, and strangely join their forces for the destructiva of all others, together with themselves, those who might otherwise be content to let them fight each other forever, can no longer remain unconcerned spectators. So it becomes every man who loves bis Coun- try and its institutions, to be on the alert. Fail. ing in the attainment of all they desire in re- gard to slavery, the abolitionisis on the one side, and the secessionisis on the other, level their batteries against the Union of the Siates as the last resort. This is the great barrier to freedom from sin, on the one band, and great prosperity, on the other. [is destruction will ease the burden consciences of the abolitivn- ists, whilet it will build up a splendid Southern Republic for the Secessionists. And for this our Nationality isto be blotted out, and our greatness buried. We really have no fears that such a coali. tioa with such aims can possibly find favor with the people: ‘The only danger is that men may suffer themselves to be deluded by false pre- tences, and unmeaning and false party names. In the Southern country, we may expect to see thie party fighting under the banner inscribed, Democracy and Southern righis, with such modifications as particular lucalities may re- quire. Let good men and patriots in all sections, be on their guard, and watch the movements of parties and politicians from this time forward, that when the day for action shall arrive, they may be fully prepared to discharge their duty with understanding, and to the best interest of themselves and their posterity.

It appearedto be a guid lepine.— The North Carvlinian declined taking it; but while they were talking about it, a third person came up and bought the watch; and on false promises induced our fellow citizen to advance the price of the watch for bim, and to bold it uatil he should Lave an opportunity to redeem it.

It seems that the owners of the Woodworth patent; have purebased from Ross Wynant a patent for no 8 wheel car, tor Railroads, and have had the same renewed by Congress, for an additional term. ‘T'v perevns generally, this may not appear to be any thing out of the usu- al course uf business, in the management of pat- ents, but when examined, it is doubtless one of the most unblushing cases of fraud on record. ‘The 8 wheel car was in use lo: g before Wyn. ant patented it, of this he was so fully aware that he-has never attempted to assert his claim escept-in the case alluded to, in the article an- nexed, That suit doubtless was one of a kind fully ‘understood, because it is presumable that a decision could have been ‘had in less than five years, for the small sum of one hundred. Alier the decision, a long article appears stat. ing that after a bard contested suil, against a powerful corporation, he t.ad at last obtained a verdict. ‘This is all for effect—the contempti ble hue and cry against *powerful corporations” is merely to throw sand in the peuple’s eyes and to enlist sympathy. Instead of this the sympa thy onght to be exerted in favor of these com panies, tor 1 venture the assertion that no class or interest: inoue couniry, bas suffered so much or been more mercilessly fleeced, by Patent rights than Railroad Companies. You can hard. ly put your finger on a piece of Machinery cr tixturé or a Locomotive or Car but: what the company bas paid for the right to use. it. rather than get into litigation with individuals. ‘The worst feature about this everlasting Patent Of fice system is that the inventor of an improve. ment, is the last to be benefited by it. A Me. chanic (from the necessity of the case in many. instances). makes some improvement, in the ap- plication or use of some principle about a Ma. chine, which he doés not think of sufficient im portance, to ask a patent for. But a Patent Of fice Pirate seeing it, and being aware that it is not covered by a patent, takes out one and turns round and very probably claims pay of the inventor for the use of it. The Eight Wheel Car is doubtless a case of this kind, but it is now over fourteen years since it has been in use on Rai] Roads, in the South.

The Aurora Borealis and the Magnetic Telegraph.—The Philadelphia Ledger says that the aurora borealis, visible on Wed. nesday and Thursday nights last, the most brilliant and remarkable exbibition of the kind noticed there for years, was attended with some very singular phenomena. On Wednesday morning an onusual appear- ance of atmospheric electricity was man- ifest on all the telegraph lines radiating from Philadelphia, east. west, and south, which continued more or less till Thurs- day evening. At times there was a pow- erfal current upon the wires, sustained for minutes, then it would diminish ta noth. ing, and the current from the batteries cease to have any effect on the magnet. It came not in flits and flashes as in the case during thunder storms, but would emit a steady spark for seconds, and even minutes. During this time the weather was cold and remarkably clear. The same effect was noticed in other cities.— In Boston, it is said there was sofficient electricity to supply the telegragh wires without employing the batteries.

Mr. Eprror: Very much has been writ- ten and spoken on the subject of temper- ance, and particularly, of late days, on that of total abstinence. Doubtless much good has been accomplished and much more will be effected. Science has brought to light many important and in- teresting facts in the economy of nature which ought to induce every one who de- sire to consult the laws of his being to ex- amine well and practice faithfully upon those results at which he may arrive. I was struck with a few remaks at the ‘close of the fifth lecture of Prof. Silliman, of Yale College, lately delivered at the Smithsoniain Institue, and with your per- mission will copy them for the benefit of your readers. He had been lecturing on Geology and the reporter represents the close of his lecture in this manner: “With an apology, a brief digression was made to water as the only fuid which the Cre- ator originally formed, and the only one entirely fitted to support life. Water constitutes nine tenths of milk, the first aliment of young animals of the class mammalia, which includes man; water forms almost the whole of the gastric fluid, eight-tenths of blood, three-quarters of the weight of living muscle, and gener- ally of the soft parts of the animal body. It is not merely a diluent of food; it pas- ses into the body largely as water, and is therefore alimentous; and all fluids used by man are composed chiefly of water; it is essential to digestion and muscular motion, and even to thought; for a dry stomach could not dissolve food, dry mus. cles could not move, nor an arid brain think. The lecturer then expressed him- self as follows; “Young men, if, therefcre, you wish for a clear mind, strong muscles, and qui- et nerves, for long life and power prolon- ged into old age, permit me to say, al- though | am not giving a temperance lec- ture, avoid all drinks but water, and mild infusions of that fluid ; shun tobacco and opium, and everything else that disturbs the normal state of the system ; rely upon nutritious food and mild diludent drinks, of which water is the basis, and you will need nothing beyond these things except rest, and the due moral regulations of all your powers, to give you long, and hap- py, useful lives, and a serene evening at the close.” What a forcible temperance lecture is this! How powerful the argument which a simple statement of the facts developed by science draws for the benefit and im- provement of the human '‘speces. Noth- ing that we can say will add to its force or impress it more fully upon the minds of your readers, A FRIEND OF TEMPERANCE. From the Raleigh Register. THE BANK OF THE STATE OF N. CAROLINA ve. THE BANK OF CAPE FEAR. The following opinion was delivered by Ruffin, C. J. Tus 1s Assumpsirt on a Bank Note. for $100 dated October Ist, 1844, and paya- ble to P. Rand or bearer on demand at the branch bank of Cape Fear at Ral- eigh: pleas, non assumpsit and set off; and a case agreed was submitted to the Court to the following effect: The note belonged to the principal bank at Ral- eigh, and the Cashier, through a notary public, presented it at the branch bank of Cape Fear, at Raleigh on the 21st of March, 1851, and demanded payment, and the Casbier of the said branch bank then offered in payment two hank notes for $50 each, issued by the plaintiff and payable on demand, the one to the bear- er at the plaintiff's branch bank at Mil- ton, and the other to the bearer at the plaintiff's branch bank at Wilmington, and he refused to ecw re in any other way. The plaintiff's Agent refused to accept payment in that mode, and his suit was then instituted. The Superior Court gave judgement pro forma for the defendant and the plaintiff appealed. The defence would not be available at common law under either issue. By pre- senting the note for payment an action arose to the plaintiff as the holder; and it is fully settled, that a promissory note, made payable in the body of it on demand at acertain place, becomes due only upon presentment at that place. Hence, the offer of the two notes for $50 in payment did not amount to payment, nor do they work for twenty dollars. It is over & quar- ter of a colamn from the start, and in- creases with every change ontil it exceeds Stranger—W ell, well—we can’t trade | And this is the way it happens that there are no Quack Medicines advertised acceptance was bad, because it did not aver presentment at the designated place. No one of the Judges expressed a doubt, that, notwitstanding, some previous nisi prius cases, the law was, that if one pro. mise by his note to pay at a particular day and place, there must be a demand there. Lord Eldon explicitly laid that down as the established law, and he sta- ted the reason to be, that the place stands in the body of the instrament as a part of it, which must be declared on as it is, and proved as described in the declara- tion deed, it is apparent, that it is an im- portant part of the contract. For, when one engages to pay money generally with- out mentioning a place for the payment, the law, is that the debtor must seek the creditor, whether the payee or his assign- ee, and at his peril find him in order to save himself from the payment of interest and an action. By specifying the place both parties are saved the trouble, but especially the maker, as he knows when to take the money to meet his note at ma- turity. The law cannot be said to be settled in the United States exactly in the same way ; as in some, and perhaps most of the Courts a distinction has been ta- ken, that the declaration need not aver the presentment at the place, but the want of it may be alleged as matter of defence, if a loss arose therefrom, and the debtor will be discharged pro-rata ; as if the note be payable at the bank and the debtor deposit the money there and the bank fail. Without going through the cases in this country in detail it suffices to refer to that of Wallace vs. McConnell 13 Peters, 36, in which most of them were cited, and considered by the Supreme Court as establishing that rule and it was then adopted. It has indeed been ques- tioned both by Chancellor Kent and Mr. Justice Story, who hold the rule laid down in England to be the true one, according to the plain sense of the contract. But it is not material which position is right in respect to notes payable at a certain day as well as place; since no one,. either in England or here, has supposed, that pre- sentment of a promissory note was not indispensible when, in the body, it is pay- able on demand at a particular place; which is our case. Even the court of Kings Bench. whose judgment in Rowe vs. Young as to the special acceptance of a bill, was reversed in the House of Lords, held thas on demurrer to a declaration by the bearer of a note payable on demand, against the maker, in which presentment at the designated place was not averred. Sanderson vs. Bowes 14 East 500. The judgment was founded on this; that the maker did not appear to have been in de- fault before suit brought; and that bas not subsequently been questioned any where. The case in this country, in which it was held, that the declaration need not aver the presentment of a note payable at a certain day and place, distinctly admit it is otherwise as to a note payable on de- mand ata certain place. It is expressly laid down in Wallace vs. McConnell, that upon a note of the latter kind the declara- tion must aver a demand at the place; and Mr. Justice Thompson in delivering the opinion of the Court gives the reason that unti] a demand the debtor is not in default, and so there is no cause of action. There is, therefore, now no doubt, as to the common law in respect to notes of this kind made by a natural person ; that the maker is not bound to pay them until presented at the place, where they are expressed to be payable. And there is no ground for a distinction upon this point between notes made by a natural person and those made by a corporation. The reason is not less applicable to bills of an incorporated bank, payable on demand at different branches ; which for the purpo- ses of local accommodation the law gen- erally requires to be established upon shares of the capital adequate to meet the notes issued at the respective branch- es, in respect to which punctuality is of the utmost consequence to the public and is usually enforced under heavy penalties. Every one knows that no individual or bank can at all times and everywhere discharge al] outstanding liabilities, due and not doe; which would make credit useless. Then, each point of a banking institation baving branches, has its own liabilities, and must bave its own resourc- es ; and it can only fulfill its engagements to the public, when left to manage its own funds without impedent from the law. If the funds appropriated to the business at one place, instead of being left for that purpose, may be daily diverted therefrom at the pleasure of the holders of the notes of every part of the institution, it would be manifestly impossible for the bank and its branches to meet their notes for any length of time. It is therefore apparent, that the provision in the notes that they are payable on demand at the several bar by way of act off. There was at one ity on such a note but for not when demanded according to its tenor. The defence, however, is not foonded on the common law, but upon an act ed at the last session of the Assembly, en- titled “ an Act in relation to exchanges of notes between the several banks of this State.” Yet, the discussion of the rule at Common law was not the less needful, in order toa proper understanding of the na- ture of the contract constitated by notes in this form, and of the operation of the statute, is it be effectual. Its principal provision is,that when a bank or its branch presents for payment a note of another bank, the latter may pay its note with a note or notes of the former, without re- gard to the place where the same may be payable. It is clenr, that the case before the court is within the act, and that the question is, as to its validity. With all respect tothe Legislature and every disposition to carry out is will, if reconcilable with the fundamental law, the court is nevertheless, constrained to declare this enactment to be plainly con- trary to the constitution of the U: States, and therefore inoperative. It is so both upon the ground, that the act violates a provision of the charter to the plaintiff, and upon the principle, that it interferes with and violates substantive provisions of the notes of the two parties—which can no more be done with respect to the con. tract of a corporation than that of a na- tural person. For the court supposes it to be clear Jaw, that a corporation is like an individual bound by and may take benefit of the general laws where it is within the reason of them, unless there be particular modifications in the charter. It is not doubted, for example, that a bank is within the statute avoiding usurous con- tracts, though no restraint, as to the rate of interest it may take, be expressed in the charter. For while there are strin- gent probibitions against oppression on the needy by individuals with their limi- ted means, much more must it be suppos- ed to be contrary to the}Legislative inten- tion, that banks with their large associa- ted wealth and the power of making the demand for money easy or tight, should be without restraint upon thcir exactions on borrowers. The charters, indeed, usu- ally prescribe a rate of interest or discount. Bat such clauses have their operation in preventing the effect on the bank of a change of the rate of interest by a subse- quent general law, in and making the corporation amenable to the State for a violation of its charter. They do not af- fect contracts with the banks because there is no provision in them for the avoid- ing those on which a greater rate is re- served, but that is left entirely to the gen- eral law. Another instance may be sta- ted. It seems certain, that the general statute prohibiting the passing of notes under a particular denomination applies as well to corporate as natural persons, unless there be a provision in the charter express or plainly to be implied, to the contrary. For the prohibition is founded on a legislative policy to encourage the circulation of metalic coins by preventing the issuing and passing of small notes bere ; and therefore the reason of the law extendsquite as much to banks as to other persons ; nay, more, since they can most effectually defeat the public policy. In such a case, therefore, the general law ap- plies, unless it be modified by a plain pro- vision of the charter. Its silence cannot have that effect; since that allows full scope to the general law, and therefore the exemption from the general law must distinetly appear in the charter. Since, then, the restraints of general laws apply to corporations, when they are within the reason of those laws unless excepted, so they are entitled to all the benefits of those laws, like other persons, unless excluded therefrom by the charter. It has beenal ready shown, that a natural person is not bound to pay a note, made payable on de- mand at a particular place, unless or un- til it be presented there; and that he is not bound to pay at another place, for the good reason, that, except at that designa- tion, he may not be prepared with the means for paying, and may not be able to raise them there without loss. Hence, that part of the note is an essential ingredient in the contract, and a statule, re- quiring a creditor in bis natural capacity to take from bis debtor, in payment of a sum due to bim at one place, the note of the creditor payable on demand at another place, which bad never been there demanded, would be plainly incompatible with those two provisions in the constitution which restrain a State from making anything but gold and silver coin a ten- der in payment of debts, and from passing any law impairing the obligation of contracts. Art. 1. 8. 10. The statute under considerarion is likewise withio that clause of the constitution. For although that instrument does not mention corporations by name, yet tbey are within it as a part of tbe general law, for the reason alrea- dy given; and it bas accordingly been repeat- edly held throughout the Union, tor example, that a legislative charter to a corporation is a contract of inviolate obligation withia ets “ay sirument, and that a corporation creat a State may sve in the Courts of the U. States or of another Siate. The ¢ and contracts of jons, therefore, have the full guar- anty of the constitulion ; and consequenily this staiute cannot be valid, insomuch as it essen- tially the of the notes issued changes by the plaintiff, by requiring them to be broken branches, is of their essence ; and conse- quently there is at common law no liab‘]- paying it to their terms and their effect, verr issued ; stich ‘may aad ia most in- ances must be, to the prejudice of the plaintiff. Such modes of payment might, plane vay be required in the charter, and it would then be at the election of the citizens to accept it or not. Kt is remembered that the late congressional charter of the bank of the United States pro- rink gerd the five dollar notes, no matter where made payable, should be sentiment at the bank or any prac or But with. out a clause of that kind ia the charter, the legislature cannot give to the notes.of a bank a different effect from that legally arising from their terms when made, so as to work @ preju- pice to the bank. ‘The plaintiff, therefore, was not bound to take the notes of its branches in payment of the note beld by it, because these hules were not then and there due, and because it they bad been they were not a constitutional tender. If they had then, or at any time be- fore this action brought been presented at the places at which they were payable and payment could not be got, they would have been availa- ble asa set off. But that was not done, and (he case turns merely on the tender of the notes under the act of 1850, at the defendant’s bank. ing bouse, without their having been presented at Milton or Wilmington. ‘The act thus vio. lates the contracts, constituted between these parties by their respective notes, both ia their letter and spirit, and is therefore unconstitution. al, Under the same clause of the constitution the act is avoided for another reason. It hap- pens, that in the plaintiff’s charter it is express. ly provided, “that hille or notes issued by or- der of the corporation, promising the payment of modey to any one or his order, or to the bearer, shall be binding and obligatory on the same in like manner and with the like force and effect as upon any private person, if issued by him ia his natural capacity, and shall be assignable and as if they were issued by such privaie person.” 2. Rev. st. p. 63, s. 25.— Now, the contract constituted by the charter between the State and the bank, though invio. lable according to the constitution, is in fact violated by the act of 1850, since under the circumstances mentioned in it a force and ef. fect is given to the notes of the bank which differ trom that which, as the notes of persons in their natural capacity, they wuuld legally have, which cannot be done. Therefore, the judgment must be reversed, and judgment entered for the plaintiff, on the case agreed, for the principal money and in- terest from the day of the demaad. From the Richmond Enquirer. Messrs. Eptiors—The following paper has been plaged in my hands, and I know not better how to use it than to give it to you tor publica. tion in your valuable Journal. This mode of compuling interest is extremely simple, and mathematically accurate. It is, likewise, as I have been informed, coming into general use in Petersburgh. B. An abreviated process of computing interest at 6 per cent, has been: handed me within a few days, with the request that | would give an exposition of the principle on which it is found. ed, and furnish a Rule, applicable to all the cases which can be conveniently solved by it. Afier some examination, I am convinced that it may be of much practical utility, as it is ca- pable of general application, and is shorter than any other metbod which has come to my knowl. edge. Indeed, a little expertness, which expe. rience will give will enable one, in most in- stances, to obtain the interest on any sum, in less time than would be required to find it io the common interest tables. The following example will exhibit the pro- cess. Required, the interest of $448 for 3 years 8 months, 27 days: 449 224 1796 898 898 $100,576 Here, as the result of a mental operation, I have written first, the sum of the months in the given years and months. 44. Having made this a decimal fraction by placing a point at the left, I annex one third of the number of days, 9— and multiply the whole by balf the given sum ; the product shows the interest sought. The rationale of this process may be thus ex. plaioed. It is obvious that the interest on any sum—as $100—Ior a given time, at six per cent. is equal to the interest of half that sum —$50—for the same time, at 12 per cent.— Our method, therefore, proceeds on the suppo-. sition that the rate of interest is 12 per cent per anoum, and arranges the rate for the whole time accordingly. The rate is allerwards reduced to that of 6 per cent by compating it on half the principal only, as above explained. Now 12 per cent per annum, heing 12 per cent for twelve months, is, of course, equal to one per cent a month. Hence, the interest on any sum, for any time, is just as many per cent on the principal, as there are months in that time. Thus, tbe interest lor one month is 1 per cent; for five monthe, five per cent; and for taree years and eight months, it is 44 per cent, as in the above example. But if the time for which the interest is to be computed, is equal to, or exceeds a bundred months, the rate will, of course, be equal to, or greater thea 100 per cent, which equals or exceeds a unit. Consequently, when the number of evtire months equals, or exceeds a hundred the two right hand figures only are to be pointed off as decimals, leaving the others on the lefi, to rep- resent whole numbers. The rate for the days is conformed to this scheme as follows : We have seen that the rate per month is one per cent. or 1-100 of the prin. cipal. Now, one day, being 1-30 of 30 days or month, the rate of interest per day must be 1.30 as much; which a of — or - 9000, of the principal. For three days, it wi of coaman,te Yoru times as much, or 3.3000 from those at which they are payable according i when they to multiply this rate explained at the. ty ue fp ‘the principals of this Reduce the years and months to moat!

Its action on the heart, or probably the nerves of the heart, manifest itself by lower posifions, and an indulgence in an intemperate and excessive use of tobacco, by smoking @ number of pipes and cigars, has caused death. Under the action of the nervous system, the motions of the heart, and sub- sequently the general quickness of the course of the blood, are quickened or re- tarded.

I would therefore strongly recommend stinence from the use of tobacco in all or any of its forms; sot only on the ground of its rendering the teeth onsightly and. the breath disagreeable, but because it is clear, to a demonstration, that it finally depresses the nataral powers.

The Democratic party expects from the Baltimore Convention a new man, a statesman of sound Democratic plock, and world wide ideas to ase it on ; a State Rights man, who can show hands clean of the stain of faction; a free-trade man, who will break down the tariffs of every rotten monarchy under heaven, and open to the industry and commerce of the United States the trade and exchanges of the world; a man of large soul and open heart, who will maintain in the teeth of the despots of Europe the Democratic doctrines upon which his popularity and success are bused here ; a bold man who can stand the brunt of foreign war and maintain, by the vigor und reach of his counsels, the honor of our flag, whether on the land or the sea ; and yeta man astute and wise as Cato, who can by the use of foreign material save our shores from attack, and crush the despots of the world in their very dens; a man tried in the contest of laws, and yet more than a lawyer ; a man who bas the- oretic learning sufficient to get rid of the entanglements which now surround our diplomatic code, and manarchic law of nations which has been forced upon us; and withal, a practical statesman, ‘not to be discomfited in argument, or led wild by theory ; but ane who has already, in the councils and tribunals of the nation, reared his trant, to the dismay of the shal: low ‘conservative,’ to the exposure of the humantarian incendiary, and the discom- fiture of the antiquated rhetorician. Let the Baltimore Convention give to this, the young generation of America, a candi- date, and we are content; but if it fail to do so, its members can return to their respective homes, personally proud and elated, and congratulate their constituents that each of them has played well and successfully his part in ruining the hopes of the Democratic party of America and of mankind, during four years. or more, for the valorous behoof or personal com. fort of General Button and others ; and let them assure themselves at the same time for doing so, of the hearty disgust and not improbably bonest curses of nine tenths of the American people, and of every repub- lican ijn the old world or thenew.

Buchanan is “your mere wire-puller and judicious bottle-holder,” pre-eminent now on the sole ground that he once played second fiddle to better men’, namely the Polk concern. He wont do, says the Review. He will do, says the News, with its “eye skinned.” It is believed that the nomination of Douglass will be very acceptable to the Standard and the leading Democrats here. The Richmond Examiner, fights for him as the only candidate fit to be “the future helmsman of the nation.” For the fur- ther benefit of the News. we give a few sentences, if it will mark their deep and bitter significance : “Stephen A. Douglass is the adopted son of Illinois. He entered that State as a journeyman carpenter, and at twenty six years of age he sat a judge upon the bench of the Supreme court. He is norelic of the past—no fossil remain of a bygone time—no past defeat casts its ominous in his path. Hope and youth blaze before him; success sits like a halo on his brow. He has already passed eve- ry contemporary competitor, yet all may see that the history of this man is still a fu- ture. His political econnexions are yet to be formed. He is the new man in the field. He belongs to no clique of old fog- ies—in Virginia or any where else. His Democracy is the ‘chrysolite with- out flaw ;’ in his politica! career there has been no variance nor shadow of turning. A resident of a free State, he is yet a Sourszan pLanter—for the Senator from Illinois is the master of an estate and of staves'in North Carolina. He stood by the South in every trying scene and on every test question. In every interest he is irrevocably identified with as; and when the uproar over the Fugitive Sianve law convulsed the North, he was the first man in a free State who had the courage to stand in the midst and denounce its en- emies as the enemies of the Constitation and of the country’s weal.

Pet. Intelligencer. MR. FILLMORE. The Whigs of ‘Tennessee, Kentucky and Ma. ryland have already, through State conventions declared their preference for Mr. Fillmore as the Whig Candidate for the Presidency, and there can be but little doubt that their example will be followed by the Whigs of every other Southern State. So far as this State is concern. ed, we bazard nothing in saying that Mr. Fill- more is the first choice of nine-tenths of the Whig party. The Whigs of the South cannot but be sensible that Mr. Fillmore bas incurred the deadly enmity of the free-soil and abolition factions of tbe North by the high national ground which he has taken witb reference to the Slavery question, and the manly firmness and consistency with which he has maintained it. It rarely happens that a public officer, occupy. ing a high position and called on to act under difficult and trying circumstances, gives entire satisfaction to bis political friends, but Mr. Fill. more, although a Northern man, has succeeded in winning the complete confidence and respect of the Southern wing of his party, and it would be difficult to point out one act of his adminis- tration which does got command their approba- lion. Under these circumstances he is justly enti- tled to a renewal of their confidence, and we are pleased to see that they are ready and anx- ious to bestow it, ‘The abandonment of Mr, Fillmore in the present emergency would be an act of political ingratitude of which we believe the Whigs of Virginia to be wholly incapable, and which we are satisfied they bave never contemplated fora moment. Noconsiderations ol temporary expediency could furnish the slight- est justification of such a step. If we of the Soath shrink from the support of the few North. ern Statesmen who have patriotism and moral firmness enough to breast the tide of anti.slave- ry fanaticism im the free States, the day willi soon come when not an arm will be lifted in our defence in that quarter. ‘The Northern man who dares to treat with respect the : ise of the Constitution, and holding himself aloof {rom the pernicious factions of the day, (o main- tain a national position with reference to the subject of slavery, exposes himself to a fearful storm of prejudice and obloquy at home. ‘is has been the fate of President Fillmore. No politician of either party, north of the Potomac is more obnoxious than he, not only to the abo- litionist proper, but to that larger class consti- tuting, we fear, a majority of the people of the free States, who, without assuming the name of abolitionists, hold the institutions of the South in deadly abhorrence, and look upon every Northero man as a traitor to bis section who shows a disposition to respect our Coastitution- al rights, © Mr. Fillmore has forever furfeited the favor of such Northern Whigs as belong to this class, and we trust that in the National Convention for nominating a Whig candidate for the Presideney, the Southern delegations will remember the fact and testify by a unani- thoug end cordial vole in his favor, their bigh a nd Mr. been suggested by thei oe Giends | r) their respective friends ia connection with the Whig nomination.

CONVENTION AND FREE SUF- FRAGE. The clarion notes of party strife in the old North State, are beginning to sound out from mountain top to mountain top, and their reverberations to wake the bum. ble dwellers in the vales below. Soon the masses, who have enjoyed for some months past the quiet and peaceful pur- suits of life, aroused from their repose, will be seen mingling ina civil strife on meas- ures ofa political nature—measures which no oppression or necessity felt by them, sug- gested, but for which they may thank or blame, as they happen to feel, the dewon party. It is rarely the case that the people demand achange in the organic law, orthe recognition of a new principle of Govern- ment. Designing politicians—party lead- ers—men who bave not that religious con- cern for the true interests of the country which they ought to feel, most generally make the discovery of errors, and first groan under the oppression of wrongs, which they afterwards stir up the people to reform. And strange to tell, though these wrongs are mostly fanciful, yet they too often succeed in making the people believe that they are monstrous, and in- cite them to carry out their wicked be- hests. We had preparedan article on the sab- ject of Convention and Free Suffrage for this paper—the subjects which are to en— gage the minds of voters this Summer— but have since found one which expresses our own views and feelings so much bet- ter than that which we had written, that we shall here close our own remarks, and direct the reader’s attention to the follow- ing, which we copy from the Wadesbora’ Argus.

A friend writing to us a few days since, inquired, what we think of the much moot- ed free suffrage question.—In our paper of the 17th January, we briefly advertedto our position on this subject—at the same time stating that we should, at some fu- tare period, take occasion to write out our views at greater length. Other matters have so occupied our thoughts that we have not yet found leisure for disquisition on this absorbing theme: but lest our si- lence be misconstrued by those who may not be the most anxious to understand us aright on any subject, we throw together a few hasty paragraphs in further eluci- dation of our sentiments. We do not pretend to conceal the fact that we are of those who do not greatly desire amendments to the Constitution.— True, it is notin allrespects as we would have it; but ithas upon the whole work- ed well: and we think it well enough to let well enough alone. It is generally wise rather to Salisbury, N.C. “ bear the ills we have, Than fly to others we know not of,” We think the amendments made in 1835, rather detracted from, than added to, the organic law. With the exception of the amendment taking away the right | of free negroes to vote, we believe we would prefer the old Constitution as it came from the hands of the framers in 1776 to the present instrument as amend- ed in 1835. We liked the old annual ses- sions of the legislature. We liked the old system of representation—a Senator and two Commoners from each county. But this is beside the question. Free suffrage is now the matter in hand. The question whether the freehold qual- ification for senatorial voters ought to be abrogated is one that is not entirely free from difficulty. We scorn the idea that because one man own more property than another, be is, therefore, wiser or better, or that he should, on that account, enjoy greater political privileges. This is not the light in which we view the freehold qualification. The framers of the Consti- totion never thought of sucha thing. For what are governments formed? Is it not to protect property as well as persons 7— Is it wrong then so to frame the organic law as to provide property with security against aggressions from persons! We think not. It is not arming property with a sword of annoyance: it is merely pro- viding it with ashield of defense ; for while those owning no property have the privi- lege of representation in one branch of the legislature, they are secure against the encroachments of Wealth. . This was ne doubt the view taken of the subject by the framers of the Constitution. In theory it is fair; and in practice it bas been pro- ductive of no“evil.” "Nort Carolina Has been as well governed ‘@8 any other State. -We are forced to believe that Mr. FILLMORE PP See ee = ‘at all times bow with all we do ie having been: determined then ttre i how 4 2 tes is the question ibe. effe hye eoded ted ont in the instrument it- self: one by a Convention of the people, the other by the legislature. And it seems to us that nc sane mind can for a moment hesitate as to-which is the : ble. Indeed we-do greatly that the Convention of 1835 left it in the pow- er of the legislatare to alter the fandamen- tal law by any majority or under any cir- cumstances whatever, . The legislature convenes under the Constitution, and it ought to have no power’ whatever to lay its hand upon that sacred instrument. Jt will be understood then that we are in favor of a Convention, We are deci- dedly so—and an open Convention at that. We do not believe that the legislature has any power to restrict the action of the, peo- ple in Convention assembled. The peo- ple have the right to alter or amend their fandamental law whenever. and in what- ever respect, they may think proper: and thisis a position that no republican, wheth- er he call himself a Whig or a Democrat, will gainsay. And as the edifice is to be repaired, though we might ourselves be content to reside in it a while longer in its present condition, we are for athorough survey of the whole building, and for com- plete repairs wherever they may be deem- ed essential. Let it be of a piece through- out. Let its architecture harmonize in all its parts. Jf a man should not have a freehold qualification to vote in the Sen- ate. we cannot conceive why he should be required to have a freehold qualifica- tion to represent in the Senate. Let us away with all the old Doric columns of precaution with which our fathers sought to fortify the fundamental law against agrarianuism, and substitute in their stead the Corinthian ornaments of modern im- provement, ’ The advantages of conventional over legislative amendment must be apparent to the most superficial reftector. In the first place the Constitution should not be a foot bail to be kicked about by party. It is the organic law of the land, It ought to be placed far above the reach of party : and far above the reach of the legislature where measures are most generally car- ried by party. It is the creator of the legislature, and members of this body should be taught to look upon it with awe and reverence—to regard it as something too holy to be touched by their profane hands. Secondly: A Convention would be com- posed of much abler men than the begis- lature. The members would be chosen for the fitness and ability, without regard to their political principles. Ex-Govern- ors, Judges of the land, and the most emi- nent citizens of the State would be found there, representing the people: and from such men more might be expected than from a legislature composed as this body always is of a majority of inferior minds. No legislature that ever sat in North Car- olina was equal in ability to the Congress that framed the Constitution, at Halifax, in 1776. No legislature that ever sat in North Carolina was equal in ability to the Convention that amended the Constitution at Raleigh, in 1885. True, legislative amend:nents are to be submitted to the people for their ratification before they become a part of the Constitution; but having originated with parties in the leg- islature, or with caucuses and conclaves out of doors, their canvass before the peo- ple will be’ so mixed up with the party that no calm and dispassionate decision can be had upon their merits. For proof of this look at the present question of free suffrage. It is said to have originated with a junto of political intriguers in Washing- ton City. But be that asit may. we know, it is claimed by the so-called Democratic press as a purely Democratic measare.— It is used by that press for the purpose of party aggrandizement: and the Whigs, as a party, are falsely, wickedly, and of malice aforethought, charged with being opposed to the measure. Thirdly: If the Constitution be amend- ed by legislative enactment instead of through the instrumentality of a Conven- tion, it will be a perpetual theme of agi- tation in all time to come. Not a politi- cal campaign will ever again pass but some aspiring demogogue will be in the field with a proposed plaster to be stuck upon the shins of the Constitution. The membets of the legislature will tread with wmpunity upon the fundementel law, and this great charter of our fights will com- mand no'more respect from those who meet to pass laws by virtue of its authori- ty than did the okd King Log from the sub- jects of bis marshy dominions. * _ For these reasons, and for others of the like kind that we have not now time to enumerate, we go fora free, full, and open Convention, in which the voice of the peo- ple themselves may be heard. The Presidency.—From present indications ‘ re- will be the Whig candidate for the Presidency in the approaching election. No man possesses higher claims, and ia view of all the questions involved in the approaching contest, no, man, we think, stands so good a chance of success. We have heard a good deal of jate of Gen. Scorr, and the Democratic press, in this State the Standard in particular, are'down on the old warrior “like a thousand of brick.” They say he will be the candidate. The editor of the Standard is ceriain of it, and his ggind seems so. perturbed by the idea, that he can scarcely think or..write of any thing else.. But has it never occurredto the Whigs that this is all a sham.

SULLIVAN. Launch’d on beings stormy sea A down the stream of time we glide, Towards our final destiny Still flows life's ever ebbing tide. Thus on and on, forever on “ Each fleeting moment bears as hence,” ’Tis fature—present—past—'tis gone Athwart the things of time and sense. Swift, and more swift, time’s rapid stream As age advances seems to flow ; Short, and more short, the seasons seem As on forever on we go. Swift, and more swift, time’s rapid wheel Brings round each year and change of clime, And faster darts life’s fragile keel A down the precipice of time. Grasp not at bubbles on the stream, For naught is what it seems to be; Each vain pursuit’s an idle dream, Life knows not one reality. But be our minds with wisdom stor'd, To strive and shun the breakers. So— Shall each bark be safely moored In that unknown to which we go. MARRIBB. On the 3rd of March, by J. Berrier, Esq., Mr. N.C.

To reign is plesstnt tho’it be in bell ; . Better reign in heil, than serve in heaven. « Paradise Lost. Hie soul, like*bark with rudder lost, On passion’s changeful tide was tossed ; Nor vice nor virtue had the power Beyond the impression of the hoar :— And ob, when passion roles, how rare The hours tha: fall to virtue’s share. Scott's Rokeby. Tom Fannon was one of thase bold, blavd. thirsty tory leaders, that during the war of the Revulution were a terror to al) peaceable citi- zens, and all helpless and inoffensive women and children ; and whose dark and diabolical deeds have rendered their names synonymous with cruelty and every species of outage, and transmitted their names to posterity coupled with ali that is revulijng \o religion, to morality, and to humanity. Fanaon wade man rather under the medium statue, bul 4 t model of symetry, and as agile as the wild deer of the forest. Nature had formed him in her must beautitul propor. tions, and given bim a figure and expression at one pleasing and commanding ; bu: education and babit baud rendered his disposition the anti- pode of his outward appearance. His bair was of a yellowish flaxen color, almost as fine as silk, andy being permitted to grow, tell in light, wary ringieie about his neck and shuulders.— His forehead was broad, but not high, and his organs of combatitiveness were fully developed, forming the most prominent feature in the pbre. nological analysis of his character. His eyes were of a light blue, but piercing in their ex pression ; and when exciled with anger they flashed witb ao earnesiness that revealed the wowavering determination of the soul that lit them with such a feartul glare. His cheeks were round and (ull, his nose straight and point. ed, and his teeth as white and clear as pearl. His lips were thin, and quivered with every emotion tbat thrilied his dark, relentless, and remorseless beart. His countenance taken all togother, was one calculated to win; and when attempting to allure, his speech was mild, mel. lifluous aud enchanting ; but when command. ing, it was harsh and resolute, expressive of his determination to be obeyed. Fannon wi usually accompanied by from twenty to fifiy ruffianly desperadves, always ready to engage in any work directed by their leader, and yividing implicit obedience to all hie commatds, ©The section of country in which they commitied their depredations em. braced the counties lying along. and bordering on, the valley of the Yadkin river in the Siate of North Carolina. Now and then, as dangers threatened, or a promise of booty allured, they would fly to some more distant region thao they were woa!; and sometimes proceeded into the State of South Carolina on the one side, and at others into Virginia on the other side. They came and went, and their course was marked with tears and shrieks, with misery and ruin ; bet they evaded al! plots against them ; and suc. ceeded for a longtime, in committing their out. rages with impunity. One of the most remarkable features in the ebaractert and Conduct of Fannon was his tal. eat for command—for reducing every one about him to submission, and rendering him passive to hie will. He never raved or stormed; and bis anger was perceptible only by the flashing of his eyes, and the quivering of his thin lips. re Was never, witb him, but one punish. ment for dieubeying orders, or for rebellion against bis authority ; and that was q violent and speedy death. With a thorough acquaint. ance with the whole surrounding country, and directing everything by his own sagacious mind he was for a long time enabled to baffle all his enemies and to escape from that condign pun. isbment be 80 richly merited. Te say that Faanon bad but one passion would, perbaps, not be correct; but whatever other paes he might have had, all were made subservient to one. Lust, the foulest and most direful. in the long catalogue of sintul passians, was the ruling demon of his soul. ‘This ‘was the master passion to which all others were but tributaries ;——the vortex in which were swallowed up all the ennubling qualities of the . heart, To accomplish his aims he regarded nothing, either sacred or protane. No respect for the feelings of others ever came between bim and the object of bis sinful desires. No entreaties of the victim could turn him from his purpose, He was dead toevery feeling of sym. pathy, of pitty, and of compassion. Steeped in iniquity vati! conscience bud become a nunen. tity with him, he gloried in his deeds of brutal violegce and damning polution, and made the gratification of his sensual appetite the focus to which concentrated all his efforts and his echemes, His followers were welcome to share a but the beauty be reserved for him se , There was but one object which Faonon may be said to have loved; and that wasa noble and high meitied mare which he always rode; gud whict., from her dun colar and spright. ly action, her fleeiness and symmetrical form, he Called the “ Red Doe,” She was as gentle as. lamb, though spirited, and capable of en. during fatigue ; and obeyed ihe commande of ber master with an instinctive intelligence, a. movating almost to reason.

CHAPTER II. O, treach’roas night ! Thou lend’st thy And teeming mi thrive eeenah thy shade! Aanon Hitt. It was on a night in the month of June 17—~ that we will introduce the reader to the camp of tories. [t was situated on the Yadkin river, about forty miles from the town uf Salisbury.— The hills hemmed it in every side, leaving « level plat of some four or five acres, covered with tall trees, around many of which wound the zines of the grape and the muscadine, clus- tering in graceful festoons among the branches. Seniries were posted at certain accessible points a little distance off, and all necessary precau. tions taken to prevent surprise. Most of the men, not. on duty, were lying about, asleep ; many of them ina state of intoxication, and mut. tering oaths and imprecations. Near a small fire which had been built in the centre of the encampment, more for light than warm, were seated Fannon and a few oth. ers, among whom was the lieutenant of the company, a large, rough looking man, with heavy whiskers, a lowering brow, a small black eye, and a countenance which mirrored the soul of an abandoned being, capable of any enormity. ‘The name of this man was Lewis Hanard ; and if ever there was a human crea ture wholly lost to every sense of pity, of honor, and of the tender sensibilities of the heart, Ha nard was, apparently, that man. There wasa kind of moroseness and dogged sullenness about bim that rendered bim rather unpopular, even with his associates ; but Fannon had promoted him, and continued to uphold him—not that be felt any affection for bim, but because he knew bis worth in doing his service. With the streogth of a giant, and the ferocity of a hun. gry tiger, he was too valuable to Fananon for bim to throw him aside. ‘I wonder if Kensy will not return to night,’ said Fannon in a tone of impatience. * It is only torty miles, and the laggart has been gone two whole days. 1am alraid something bas happened to him.’ * Where did you send bim 1’ enquired Hanard without raising his head, which was bent down- wards, and resting upon his hands. * That is my own business at present,’ re turned Fannon. “ At a suitable time I will make you acquainted with all, oro much as I shall think propér to eatrust to you.” The lieutenant mutiered something which was inaudible, and tota! silence succeeded, but was broken a few moments afierwards by a shrill whistle at a distance down the river.— Fannon sprang to his feet, his eyes sparkling, and a glow of animation overspreading his countenance, and exclaimed ; * This is Kensy !” The sound of a horse’s hoofs was heard ap. proaching, and a man, in the plain dress of a country farmer, rode inside the encampment.— As he alighted Fannon was at bis side, and, or. dering the horse into the charge of anuther, drew him to one side, for a private conversation. “ What luck?” was the anxious enquiry of Fannon. * Good, if not better,” was the reply. * Did your disguise answer your purpose 7” “ Toa nicety. No one seemed to have any suspicion but that [ was a steady dutch farmer ; and the old fellow bimself took a mighty liking to me.” “ Good!” cried Fannon ; “but make your report ia full, Iam impatient to learn all the particulars.” Kensy glanced around to satisfy himself that no one was in hearing, and then commenced : * I proceeded straight on from bere to Salis. bury, where I arrived a little before night. I called at several stores and taverns, enquiring the price of wheat, stating that I bad a quantity for sale, which would soon be ready lor market, Well, | engaged some few hundreds of bushels, and afier waiting till nearly night, | mounted “Streak,” and rode out to the old fellow's house. told him ‘I wash a varmer from the lower part of the countish, and had been to town to (ry to sell mine crop of veat.’ He perceived immediately, ashe thought, that 1 was an old countryman, invited me in, made me welcome, introduced me to miss Margaret herselt, gave me my supper, lodgiug, and breakfast this morn. ing, and imsisted that I should call upon bim again when | passed that way.” “Hal bal I seckon you will do so, won’! you 7” laughed Fannon. * Well, I reckon | will,” then proceeded ; replied Kensy, and * As you direcied, I took a *aurvey of the premises? ‘The family consists of the old man, his daughter and two grand children, emall boys, who were left orphans a few mvnths ago by the death of both their pa- rents. Besides these there are some ten or & dozen wooly heads, and horses, catile &c. in abundance; and I have no doubt a pretty pile of money into the bargain. The is a ‘wo story one, and is entered in front by a wide door .opening into a passage which extends through the house. There is bot ‘one room to the left on the first fluor, and that is the parlor. To the right are two rooms: the front one is the family room, and the one in which the old man sleeps. The room bebind it is as a bed room by Margaret and the two boys. I observed a large trunk just under the head of the old barge wey and if [am not very much deceived it contains some of the shiners, both white and yellow, The upper story is weil furnished, but seemis.to be hut little used. “ Two good blows would demolish the froat door, and then thers would be no more diffi. culty ; but considering that the house is so near to the town, and that. even two strokes might raise an alarm, | took the precaution to steal out the! key last night, aad omparing the cont <a fens an + ane exactly like it. J, therefore, slipped it back and set pee my awn for the purposes here it ia.” “Are you certain that this ane will turn the rs asked Fannon, taking tho key in his ic, but satisfactary * Then all is right,” = : ard shall lead rhe op 4 aco a Sos Up oo the back of the house, taking care to “tried it,” was the lacon answer, keep the negroes from giving any alarm, | imes they concealed themselves in swamps, or in the ecesees. of the forest, keeping scouts out upon preggers hati nc ane ing to surprise upon the lives and property of the unprotected, the aged, and Such was Fannon, the famous tory panizan, “* Well, I reekoa I do.” Fannon and Kensy then walked back to the fire and fouod that all their comrades were * Let them sleep,” said Fannon. * |t will be time enough to tell Hanacd of it in the morn. ing, and let ys follow suit, and see if we can’t retresh ourselves for to.morrow’s work.” So saying they stretched then s upon the leaves, and the seared and deadened con- sciences of the band, except those on guard, were soon wrapped in slumber, dreaming per. haps, of murder and robbery, and perhaps, of the days of innocent boy-hood and the sports of their youth, © (To be Continued.) NUTS FOR GRAMMARIANS, The Boston Transcript publishes * a conver. sation between 4 young lady who writes for the Magazines and an old geatieman who can speak English.” Old Gentleman,—“ Are there any houses building in your village 1” Young Lady.— No, sit. There is a new house being built for Mr. Smith, but it is the carpenters who are building.” Old Gentleman.—*“ True; I sit corrected. To be building is certainly q different thing from to be being built ; and how long bas Mr. Smiih’s house been being built 1” Young Lady.—(Looks puzzled a moment, and'then answers rather abruptly.) “ Nearly a year.” Old Gentleman,—How much longer do you think it will be being built 7” Lady.—( Gentleman Young Explosively.) “1 don’t know.” Old .—*" I should think Mr. Smith would be annoyed by its being so long being built; for (he house he now occupies being old he must leave it, and the new one being only being built. instead of being built as he expect. ed, he cannot” The young lady leaves the room very suddenly. We think it quite time that the innovation or affectation rebuked by onr intelligent correspoo- dent in our columns some weeks ago, and re- proved in the above “ Nui,” were abandoned. “ Being built” does not express progress in building. A house “ being built” is a house already built. Put into Latin, it is existente erecto. We say, for instance, “John sold hie land to Peter, a house being built on the land ;” or, ifa house be in the process of erection, we say “a house being, at the time, building on the premises.” ‘This is English. [i means in building or on building. The preposition is ot- ten supplied by the article a. Thus St. Peter says, “ when the temple was a building in Je. rusalem.” ‘Throw “ being built” tothe byp. ercrities.— Ngtional Intelligencer. We say ditto to the Intelligencer. We are nol sure that being built, as applied to the house is legnimate King’s English even, but are sure that it is an ioelegaat circumlocution. The house is building, is a some what ellyptical sen. tence; a prefix before building being under stood—qa being the best, and the one used con. staotly and from time immemoria! in thousands of phrases, as, he is gone hunting, a fishing, a wooing, &c. &c. It will be admitted, we suppose, that Macau. lay knows something about the English lan- guage—those who read his works will be apt to come to that conclusion ; and he does not use such combinations of the participles as being built. We do not believe that such a phrase can be found in all thal he has written. Who is the author of this innovation, we do not know. He may be some eminont philologist ; but if he is, we cannot regard him in this matter as be- ing either an emendator or an embellisher of the language. A SAD SPECTACLE. A fine looking boy, named Joseph Drew aged 10 years, was arraigned before Judge Cushing, yesterday afternoon, ona charge of stubborness preferred against him by bis father who testified to several acts of disobedience and dishonesty on the part of the child. The boy’s uncle also ap- peared and corroborated the statements of the father. The Judge said that a case was made out against the lad; yet he was loath to pass sentence upon him.— The defendant, he said, was of prepossess- ing demeanor, and it wasa terrible thing —contrary to human nature and at war with the sentiments of Christian feeling —to send a child of such tender years among strangers. Here was a tiny boy beaatiful in all external aspects, the fa ther solicits for him a prison home. “The father here observed that his wife was unwell, and that the care of the boy was burtbensome to him. To this the Judge replied ‘where is that manly dignity which should inspire a father to buffet adversity?’ Judge Cushing expatiated at some length 2 the want of human kindness display- ed by both the father and the uncle, and concluded by intimating that from what he had seen of them, that it would be a kindness to the boy to take him eut of their charge. The lad was sent to the House for Juvenile Offenders.— Bos. Cou. AFFLICTING CALAMITY. The most heart-rending scene which it has ever been our lot to record, occurred on Satur- day afiernoon above one mile north of this vill- age, nearly on the direct road to Warren’s Cor- ners. The dwelling of William Gibson caught fire—<himeelf and wife both being absent— and three only children, the eldest five, and the youngest one year old, were smothered to death a the unhappy father was enable to rescue them. Mc.

And judg: ing from the general appearance of things, soil, seasons, dcc., I should say that aside from the mineral wealth which California possesses, she is not worth much. I do not believe her agricultural resources are capable of sus- taining a heavy popolation. You mast remem. ber we bave no rain here except what falls in the Winter, which is our rainy season—and if this is a specimen of the winters we are to have hereafter, I fear that we shall soon bave No :ainy season, nor rain at all; for as yet, we have had but one good spell, and already suf. fering for more. And in consequence of there being no showers to moisten the earth in the summer season, and the excessive warmth of the sun, all the vegetation that shoots up during the rainy season and spring of the year, soon parches and dies away; while the ground ’in the meantime, becomes as dry and dreary as it is possible to conceive. During this season the \raveller frequently finds the dust balf a toot deep, and as fine as flour. I have seen clouds of this dust so dense, and of such a magnitude as to darken the sky for miles around ; so you may well guess that by the time thé traveller has gone over twenty-five or thirty miles uf such road, his skin, throat, nose and clothes, are all in a condition not to ensure the greatest comlort. Along the banks of rivers though, and in certain valleys, say for instance, the San Joa. quio, (San Waw-Keen,) San Jose, (San Hoo- Zay) and Sacramento, where the ground is low and moist, or easily irrigated, the soil is ex. tremely tertile, and produces vegetables, which in size and abundance, have probably never been equalled. But then these spots are no more in measurement to the area of Calfornia than the oases are to the desert of Sabara ; and cannot, therefore, be depended oa to sup ply the wants or necessities of the whole State, should it be thickly settled throughout ; a thing, which, for the very reason | have mentioned, I do not believe will ever take place. These valleys, and the banks of the rivers, [have spoken of, are exceedingly rich, aud seem, in some way or other, to have been the receptacie of nearly all the virtue of the whole surface of (he surrounding country; aad hence, as your readers are aware, we have from those valleys, vegetables, &c., of a most extraordina- ry size. The tule lands, forming a part of the valley of the San Jvaquin, would, I have no doubt, if the water could be drawn off, be highly pro. ductive ; but in their present low aad boggy condition, they are utterly unfit for cultivation, and being alinost on a Jevel with the bed of (Le river, or rather sluugh, that winds through tnem, I fear it will be impossible to drain or inake them valuable. These lands, which are extensive, are as level as a garden, and pro- ducing no other growth than the tule, a tall, piiby species of rush, and have the appearance of a vast meadow. In the fall of the year, when the tules, which grow very thick, and from six to eight feet in height, become dry, and fire gets among them of a dark night, the scene which follows is indescribably grand. None of the oases or valleys of which | bave spoken, bear timber suitable for fencing purpo. ses; you will therefore perceive, that in con. sequence of this drawback, the inclosute of fields, which is generally done with wire or imported pales, is quite an expensive item. As regards farming interests, and the resources of true, wholesome, lasting wealth, | think Ore. gon is far ahead of this State; and, in my opinion, she wisl, in the course of ten or filteen years supercede California, and assume, and ever after maintain, her position as the great Empire State of the Pacific. ‘The people of Calilornia feel a deep interes: in the approaching Presidential Campaign.— They want candidates whose principles are known to be pure and settled.—Union men— supporters of the Counstitution. Of the sever- al candidates now spoken of for the Presidency, and Vice Presidency, | know of none more cordially acceptable to the public of California, than Mittarp Fititmore, of New York, tor President, and Wa. A. Grauam, of North Car- olina, for Vice President. ‘These men, have proved themselves true to the country; wise and sagacious, and have therefore merited the honor and confidence of the people. By birth a North Carolinian, [ shall never cease to fee! a lively interest in all that relates to her honor and her condition. This feeling alone would lead me to rejoice at the elevation of her gifted son, W. A. Granam. But divesting myself of all partiality from that cause, | really think North Carolina bas been slighted. ‘The birth. place of American Independence, she has ezer been the supporter of virtuous and conservative principles, and the hapor proposed to her now, is nothing more than ber due. I trust your paper will continue to reach me regularly. Very truly poor aELeEn From the San Francisco Picayune. THE CITY. +The general bealth of the city is good, except that coughs and colds prevail ve- ry extensively, induced by the variable- ness of the weather. Burgalaries have become rather fre- quent of late, and at least two instances of highway robbery have occurred. On the: morhing of the 24th inst., before day- light, a saloon en Kearny street. was eu- tered by a burglar. and the drawer rob- bed of a few dollars in change, which had ‘been left’ in it over night. He was frightened off, leaving his shoes behind, before he succeeded in committing further depredations. On the night of the 25:b, a boarding house on Clay street was en- tered by two villains, and several printers robbed of small articles of jewelry and about $300 in money. The robbers were evidently well. acquajated. with the pre- mises, likewise with the fact that printers generally are paid off on Saturday night ; and they doubtless anticipated a fine bar- vest. Several other robberies have tak- en place, and our citizens begin again to feel unsafe. It is hoped that increased vigilance on the part of the authorities, will soon restore confidence. On Saturday evening last, the 24th in- stant, about 7 o'clock, the office of Justice Shepheard, on the west side of the Plaza, was discovered to be on fire. A gentle- man living in an adjoining house ran in, and succeeded in arresting the progress of the flames before they had made much headway. The appearance of the room presented unmistakable evidences of its having been set on fire. A parcel of news- papers bad been taken from a file which was hanging in the office, thrown togeth- er in a pile on the end of the settee, the table thea drawn over them, and the fire communicated. The clerk of the office bad Jeit the room but a few moments be- fore to go Up stairs, and hearing the con. fusion below, got down just as the flames had been subdued. He stated the above facts to the crowd, and remarked that the window curtains had been let down since bis departure. The gentleman who had first arrived, then remembered that he bad run against a person apparently com. ing from the room, just as be entered the front door, and that this person said “ I’m going to get an axe; the door is locked.” Not deeming it advisable to wait for the axe, the gentleman sprang against the door, and to bis surprise it flew open with- out resistance, it only haying been swung to, without being latched. A police offi. cer coming up soon after, was notified of the facts, and immediately went in search of the incendiary. In about balt an hour, he succeeded in arresting a youth, appa- rently not more than 18 years of age, whom he took to the station house. That night, the boy confessed to one of the of- ticers, that he bad committed the crime; but stated that be had been instigated to it by aman who offered him $20 to do the deed, which he, without reflection, immedi- ately wgreedto. He gave a descriptionof the man, stating that he was elegantly dressed. Upon his examination before the Recorder, he acknowledged having made the confessions, and was remanded to pris- on to await his trial before the District Court. A melancholy case of homicide occur- red in the city about 7 o'clock, on the eve- ning of the 24thinst. ‘Tbe circumstances are briefly ss follows: A man named Warren C. Norris, much intoxicated, and very quarrelsome, got into a fight with a Frenchman, on Commercial street, and knocked him down several times. Police officers Treanor and James Edgerton, hearing the disbbrance, ran up and arrest- ed the parties, the latter taking hold of Norris. On the way to the station house Norris, a man of great physical strength, became furious, and strenuously resisted the attempts of the officers to get him along. He used very violent language, and finally Knocked officer Treanor down, and pulled ou) a pistol, which he snapped athim. The othcer, however, fortunate- ly threw bis tinger uvoder the hammer, just as it was coming down on the cap, and by this means saved his life. During the tray, Norris got struck on the bead | with a club, and being rendered still more | furious, threatened to shoot Edgerton, against whom he seemed to entertain par- ticular animosity. After much trouble, the parties, surrounded by a crowd, arriv- quarters of the globe centering here, have confused the ues, and. made the city almost like anto Babel that we read of in the good book. Sonora is the city of the Southern Mines; although sadly neglec- ted, and destitute of the enterprise that has characterized all the cities in the Northern Mines, is yet bound to continue, and with slow and steady growth, bye- and-bye compare favorably with cities of older growth in our fast country. Its natural advantages are ansurpassed in the country beyond the plains ; sitaated in the very centre of a rich mining dis- trict, rich placer diggings within the town, and supplied with water by large ravines on either side, and with a favorable start, it must, ere long, do honor to itself and the country. The population at present, of the city and suburbs, is hardly less than 10,000, and daily increasing. Almost within our limits are rich gulch and quartz mines, not yet explored, and from time to time, as the “buried talents” are brought to light, our popolation will increase. Within the last three months, two bank. ing houses have been established, and have every appearance of permanency.— Messrs. Adams & Co., have lately built a neat and substantial office, where they continue the banking and express busi- ness, with their usual correctness and promptitude. Around us are the mining villages of Columbia, Jamestown, Georgetown, Camp Saco, Shaw’s Flat and Tuttletown, and from each of them our merchants are in- debted for a portion of their customers,— A large canal, 4 feet by 4 feet, of boards, is nearly completed, and when finished, will bring water from the Stanislaus riv- er to all the towns and villages aboot us, and enable miners to wash the rich dirt that has been thrown from the bed rock within the last year, and often changed ownership, as the want of water discoura- ged the original proprietors, Of course, with our pretensions to a city, we have a Mayor and his suite, with tax- es, licenses and other expensive “fixins” to match ; large amounts of money have been collected, but no show made in the shape of improvements. Their policy is probably Democratic, and we are promis. ed that the evils we labor under, from “excess of government, will cure them— selves.” The City Government, with long ordi- nances, prohibit bull-fights, but as bull and bear fights did not come under that head, our citizens were favored, a few Sunday’s ago, with such a fight. After that exhibition, bull and bear fights were prohibited by our city fathers. Some Yankee hit upon an idea to circumvent the city fathers and their wisdom; and last Sunday, gave our citizens truly legal amusement, in the shape of a fight be- tween two bears. Aboat 1500 of our citi- zens showed their appreciation of the en- terprise, by their presence within the magic ring. Sunday is our gala day— the city is alive with the bardfisted yeo- manry. Of a week day we are quiet and | still as mining villages usually are, and when the monotony of life isdisturbed by a dog fight or quarrel between two ambi- tious roosters, all the people are on the “qui vive,” and the number of lazy men about town easily counted.—San Francis- co Picuyune. A Gratifying Confession.—To those who, like ourselves, firmly believe that the peace and prosperity of the country de- ed at the station, and entered the office of the Captain of Police. Edgerton advanc- ed to the desk to make bis complaint, when Norris made use of some very aba- sive language towards him, and dealt him a heavy blow on the neck with bis fist.

Casserly to leave the office, and was about turning | to go, when Norris struck him another blow in the mouth, which staggered him. | Recovering trom the blow, which made | him exceedingly angry, Edgerton plunged a knife into the body of Norris, who im- | mediately sank to the floor. A physician | was called, and upon examination, the wound, which was on the lett side of the | abdomen. was pronounced mortal. o'clock, P. M., the next day, Norris examination was held, and the wound found to be about an igch and a half in width, and extending (hrough the bowels, severing a portion of the intestines. The coroner held an inquest on the body, and the jury rendered a verdict in accordance with the facts. rton was arrested on the spot by the City Marshal, but by giving $5000 bail, was suffered to goat large. His ex- amioation was commenced on the 27th inst., and finished the next day. Yester- day morning, Recorder Baker decided that he should be held to bail in the som of $10,000, to answer the charge of “man- slaughter” before the Court of Sessions. The required bail was given.

This declaration was made by Mr. Buchanan after having visited Washing- ton city, and therefore with a full know- ledge of the elements of discord and dis. sension which have paralyzed the demo- cratic party at the Capitol. It is deeply to be lamented that, with overwhelnnng majorities in both houses, and within three months of the opening of the presidential canvass, one of the most distinguished members of our party, and one of the most | promient candidates for the presidential | nomination, should be forced by the neces- sities of the case to make such an avowal. But it is still more to be lamented that the truth of the declaration cannot be gain- said, and hence we have no fault to find with its avowal. ft were better to look dangers full in the face, and to view them in all their length and breadth at the very threshold, rather than to close our eyes upon them antil they become irremedin- ble. After baving carefully and paioful- ly surveyed the whole grodnd, we are constrained to declare to the democracy throughout the Union that, in our opinion, “the ratic party never was tn greater peril than at "and we are grati- fied that the warning which the declara- tion implies comes from one whose voice is so deservedly potent in our ranks. Mr. Calhoun ee by ees the party Boing only held together “cobesi ° er of public plunder.” Is it bow paralyz- ed by. diseord apd dissension, because it has not lately had that cohesive power! Such is the legitimate inference. We trust it will be long before any reunion takes place ; before a new swarm olf plunder- ers, like those who flourished with Van- Buren, are permitted again to throst their arms into the public crib; or a new spir- it of conquest, like that which prevailed under Polk, shall lead to new wars of ag: gression and est, Why should any ‘man who really de- sires the welfare of the country, wish a change from the wise and prudent and upright chief magistrate we now have, who has brought us safely and peaceful- ly through the great trials of the past three years,—to one who would have giv- en way to the clamors of bis party in fa- vor of the Cuban invasion and the Mexi- can invasion, in favor of the Kossuth En- ropean intervention, and who could pot bave done better, if as well, in quieting our own: domestic feuds? We have no sort of doubt, that if a Locofoco President had.been in office instead of a Whig, the conntry would now have been at war with Spain, if not with Mexico; and, if ‘that pad not been enough, with a promis- ing prospect of a difficulty with Austria also. ‘From al! these evils.—from loss of life and treasure, corruption of the public morals, creation of publi¢ debt, and the thougand ills that follow in the train of war,—we have been saved by having a wise and patriotic Whig administration. Let us perpetuate peace and prosperity by continuing that administration. It is in the power of the Whigs to doit. The con- fession of Mr. Buchanan and the Union makes that apparent. And every Whig should exert himself to the utmost to ac- complish so great a good.—Fuy. Ob. From the Fayetteville Observer. Scene in the New. York Legislature.— Times have sadly changed within a few years in all our Legislative bodies, State and National. Within our memory such a thing as a fight, or an ungentlemanly altercation, with the familiar use of the epithets liar, scoundrel, and the like, was unheard of and unthought of. Can it be, that in those times only gentlemen were deemed fit to represent the people, and that now so many blackguards are quali- fied for the same office that they keep each other in countenance, and give tone to the manners of the bodies to which they are elected ? It seems to be “Like master like man.” However this may be, the fact is, that searcely a Legislature meets without some disgraceful row. The latest one we have noticed was in the New York House of Assembly, and the particulars are as fol- lows. |n a contested election case, a Mr. Snow, Whig, was declared entitled to his seat. This was regarded as a final action on the matter, and several Whig members left the city for a few days.— The Locofocos, “ascertaining that they were in an accidental! majority, offered a resolution declaring the seat of Mr. Snow vacant, and came to the House with a determination to press it through. The Whigs would not put up with this dishon- orable game, and were compelled to re- sort to parliamentary remedies to prevent it. And the entire day until a late hour in the evening was consumed in scenes of confusion, disgraceful to the Legislature, to the State and to those by whose agen- cy they were produced. It was a prolong- ed riot (says an eye witness,) and the ex. ample of the House spreading to the lob- bies, disorder and violence reigned there. The police had to be called in and some arrests were made. One member with two or three outside assistants, succeeded in reaching the basement and cutting off the gas, so as to throw the House in dark- ness. Caught in the act, he pleaded the privilege of membership to proteet him from arrest. Comparative order was res- tored only by the closing of the doors and call of the House, and the affair ended in a decision which excludes both contes- tants—and in conduct that would seem to justify the exclusion of balf the other mem- bers.” But this is not the worst of it. The Al- bany Evening Joarnal says,— “It was known before the opening of the session in the morning, that a namber of Whig members were absent. Several of them bad, as they supposed, taken the precaution to “ pair off,” and bad left the city, ignoraat of what is alleged asa fact, that two of the Locofoco members of the House had deemed it consistent with their own sense of honor to each “pair off” with two or three Whigs! Taking advantage of the absence of these members, the con- certed movement for the expulsion of Col. Snow, who had the day previously, been legally established in his seat, was began. Six Locofoco members, who had paired off with absent Whigs, were present and vot- ed!

The New York Times affirms that the state. ment that General Scott the Presidency of Mex- ico is strictly true, and that it occurred just affe he had been recalled by our government, & peace had been concluded with Mexico.’ “The offer, it is alledged, was made in consequence of the admirable manner in which he adminis. tered affairs afier the capture of the city of Mex. ico. He was tohave received $250,000 per annum for five years—making in all a million aod @ quarter—provided he would rétain under his command such of his soldiers as should, af- ter their regular discharge from the “nt of the United States, volunteerto remain with him ia Mexico. The representatives of the British government in Mexico, it is alledged, moreover, agreed to guarantee to General! Scott, if he would accept the offer, the regular payment of the money promised. But, as has heretofore been stated, he declined the profered honor. A CHARACTER. Old “Bumblebee” was the cognomen of Mr. T. of Newburyport; he gained the title from the fact of his catching a bumblebee one day as he was shingling his barn, and in attempting to decapitate the insect with his hatchet, cut off the ends of his thumb and foré-finger, let- ling the bee gounharmed.

MALAGA RAISINS. The editor of the Rochester Advertiser, while American Consul at ‘l'angiers, made an excursion through the South of Spain, in the course of his jaunt passed through the country in the vicinity of Malaga, where the most delicious raisins are grown. He thus describes the very sim- ple manner in which the choicest raisios are prepared :— “You have often partaken of the Mala- ga raisins, tbe most delicious of al) pre- served fruits, and so have all our country- men; but every one may not know iow they are prepared. The process is the most simple imaginable. As soon as the grapes begin to ripen, the vine-dressers pass through the vineyard and cut® the clusters off from the vines, and leave them on the naked ground, turning them over daily, until the heat of the son and ‘the warmth of the earth upon which they lie, bave baked and dried them, when they are gathered, up, put into boxes, and are ready for use. This is all the wonder and mystery there is in preparing this delicjous fruit. To'my inquiry why they. did, not place leaves, or sume clean dry subsiance of the kind upon the ground, for the .fenit to lie upon, | was told that the naked ground was much better, that in fact, the fine flavor of the fruit was. More opon the warmth of the earth, than. the more external beat of the san. Care has to be taken, however,’ that the ‘frait does not get wet while undergoing this process.

Forced by whom? Where does the Governor derive the right to interiere with the questioe? What right bas be jo dictate lo or even advise the Represeniatives of the People 1 From the Con. stitution? There is not a line or syllable in that instrument which conlers upon him such a power, and God forbid that there ever should be. Any such attempt on the part of an Exe- cutive would deserve the prompt rebuke of the Legislature. Even afier bis installation into office, constitutionally he bas no more right to obirode his views, ou such a question, upon the Legislature, than a private individual. Thisis the ground the Whig Party took in the Presiden. tial election of 1848, and it is the true Repub— liean ground, ‘The Representative shuuld be left uninfluenced, unbiased hy any and all offi- cials, whether they be of a bigh or low grade ! Could not our Candidate say so? Would be not be sustained jn it by the People? Would they not see, al a glance, tha: it is a doctrine consonant with the {reedom ol their Represen— tives? It makes no difference how this has been in times past, I! we have been wrong, we should right ourselves. The sooner the better. We ask fur the grant of such power. Whence it is deriged? ‘There is a vast differ— ence berween dictating to, or advising the Leg islature, on « question of State policy, especi— ally of Constitutional reform, and giving it in- formation in reference to its financial and civil affairs. We ask agaia for the Article in the Constitution, by virtue of which the Executive presumes to advise or dictate to the Legisla— wre? If it cannot be found, then wherefore make this question a test? Did we not cen— sure Reid tor lugging into the campaigo bis favorite bobby ?” The Register could scarcely have given us a more striking notion of tbe platform whicb broke down under Gov. Manly, if it had un— dertakea a skeich theseot in express terms. All this reasoning sounds well enough ; and it te well enough, in the abstract ; all that is lacking to make it effectual, is to persuade Gov. Reid and the party under bis thumb to say no more aboui free suffrage or any State questivn! Tell them that they violate all precedent and propriety, aod siand very much in their own light, by tugging free suffrage into the guber— natorial campaign and not leaving it entirely with she candidates forthe Legislature! May. be they will believe you, and take you at your word! Thea, but not till then, can we go cheeriully into a State canvass without refer. ence to question of Siate reform. “ But it may be said tbat our candidate will be forced to make this issue.” Wedo say so; we believe it cannot be avoided ; and it is from this conviction, which bas been impressed upon our minds from the first, that we have been en- deavoring to wake up our fellow citizens to a timely consideration of the matier. When the Register says that our candidate should be se— lected **without reference to bis views on ques— tions of State reform,” we presume thai it means he ought to absiain from taking issue on any of theee questions. Ii it means any thing it means this, Let us contemplate our candidate, for a moment, in this position, Here we have Gov. Reid ia the field with his free suffrage propo. sition,—the weapon of offence with which he achieved hie victory of 1850,—pressing it with all the zeal find earnesiness of a public man who bas got a favorite measure half through, and is stimulated alternately by apprehensions and bopes of success in the future. The sub. ject ie thus “kept before the people,” in spite of all ideas that may be entertained of tLe im- propriety of such conduct. In this sta:e‘of af, taica the Whig candidate takes the stump.

We trust ia the counsels of the April Con- tention of ihe Whigs of the Siate, to prescribe some way ia which we can all go together.— Every portion of the State ought to be fully rep- resented here; andin consideration of the un- usual importance of the occasion, we hope that the strongest men of the several delegations irom county meetings will go. " Our views have been preity fully expressed on this matter; aod the views of our newapa- pet cotemporaries, ol all parts of the State, have been liberally transferred to the columns of the Pairioj. We shall hereafier devote less space to the subject, unless necessity should otherwise require. Our object as heretofore intimated, is to have our say before the April Convention. THE CONVENTION AND THE GO. VERNORSHIP. Some of the Whig papers in the East- ern part of the State, are very much afraid the Convention question will defeat oun condidate for Govegnor—indeed it b been prophecied that such will be.the ef- fect, if he advocates this doctrine. We think directly the reverse. This measure is popular, and, in our opinion, would be irresistible betore the mass of the péople. It the nominee of the Whig convention takes this position, we will have no fear of the result, even should there be a little disaffection among our eastern friends.— The strength of the Whig party is in the West; aod when the time comes for the hardy mountaineers to ballot on this question, they will roll up a majority in its favor, only equalled in the days of ‘coon skins and hard cider.” But notwitb- standing our views on this subject, and notwithstanding we still intend to advo- caie an Open Convention and ose every exertion in our power to effect the con- summetion desired, we will not, under any circumstances, withhold our support from the Whig candidate tor Governor, should his views, on this subject, happen to differ with our own. The National principles of the Whig party are too important to justify any dis- affection, in the ensuing campaign, on ac- count of collateral questions and minor points of difference. We have no idea that any considerable portion of the De- mocratic party would unite with us on this question. We are too familiar witb the completeness of their system of drill and the elasticity of their priaciples, to expect any such anomaly. Above all things there should be no disaffection among the Whigs of the West; this was the cause of our defeat two years agu. If the West is united, we can beat Davy Reid with or without the Conven- tion question. With it, we would beat him so bad, that in the perplexity of bis mind he would anxiously inquire, ‘did that storm hurt any body else ?” Our Eastern friends, we think, are un- necessarily frightened, at present, on this suject. But the longer the contest is de- layed—and it is bound to come—the worse for their interests, will it be. We are in- clined to think the basis question would not now be touched. There is, at any rate, no disposition in this county. as far as we know, to distur it. Even if the present basis was attacked, there would now be a prospect of a compromise. If the Convention question is not settled at once, there is not the shadow of a doubt that, in a few years,the whole West will be roused in its favor. Then the West will be arrayed against the East—the borie of contention will be the alteration of the basis of representation and distribu: tion of the school fund—the West will get the bone, and the East will be ‘snowed under.’ Such will be the end in our opin- ion. We are not a prophet nor the son of a ‘prophet, and cannot exactly say with the wizard in Lochiel’s Warning, “Tis the sunset of life gives me mystical lore And coming events cast their shadows before, but time will prove whether or not we are correct in the premises.—Concord Mercury. GLIMPSES OF PARIS. [PRom A PRIVATE LETTER. | “ Paris, Fesruary 7, 1852. “Ta this land, no longer one of liberty, equal. ity, or fraternity, it is never a question whether a coup d'etat is right or wrong, but whether ‘bien joue” or a blunder; and up to this time it is uncertain how to denominate the blow at the Orleans party. For my part, I con. sider it * bien joue.’ It was strongly opposed by the Ministry, several of whom re and by all the members of Napoleon’s family ; bet he was unmoved by remonstrance or ea Areaty, Legitimists approve it, not only as an ect of rétributive justice, but hecause they fancy i, levels the road for their return.

He can only secure bis position by maia- taining the prosperity of the industrial classes, A war with Eogland would immediately seal up every port of France. A wantof raw ma- terial, a restriction to continental markets, a stoppage of work, barricades, and revolution would follow. Besides, though France is so strong for defence, but a small part of ber large and admirable army could be spared for ag- gression upon England; for Paris requires six- ty thousand, Algiers seventy thousand, and La Vendee and the Var, ia the event of such a war, would require full as many more.” To the Editors of the Nat. Intelligencer. Messrs. Gates \& Seaton: During the war with Mexico six or seven companies of mounted men volunteered from the State of Illinois, each person furnishing his equipage, arms excepted. The express anderstanding of the volunteers, at the time of enlisting, was that their borses, if lost in the United States service, were to be paid for. When mustered into service, persons appointed by Government valued each horse, (pains being taken in examin. ing them.) and their valaation set down on the muster-roll opposite the names of those owning them. For what purpose were the horses val- ued if it was not the intention of the Gov- ernment to pay for them when lost? In several companies where the men lost their horses, and not having the money to boy others, they borrowed the amounts required to remount them from their mess- mates and officers; and this was done with the belief of all that the amounts thos expended would be repaid, if not at the time, at the expiration of the terms for which they enlisted. At the close of the war one of the Illi- nois mounted companies was ordered to march from Tampico to Matamoros, (five hundred miles by the regular route.) tor the want of vessels to transport them to New Orleans. At Matamoros the com- pany, with one or two others from the same State, wasordered to escort trains of wagons, horses, and mules of the quar. termaster’s department through the Red river. The sick at Tampico and Matamoros were sent to New Orleans direct, and their horses were sold before leaving Mex- ico, bringing very low prices. When ar- rived at Red river, (Shreveport, La.) most of the men sold their borses (being also at a sacrifice) for the purpose of receiving by steamboats speedy transportation to their bomes. What a disappointment to the soldiers, when called up to receive their discharge and pay. to be informed by the paymaster and officers who mustered them out of service that they were not empowered to pay them for their lost horses; nor could they even allow them the pay of mount- ed men from the time they were dismount- ed. It certainly lessened the expense to the department for the subsistence and transportation of such horses as were thus sold Petitions for their losses, as claims properly made out and certified to, have been forwarded to the department and sent to their Representatives in Congress. Nearly four years have elapsed since the close of the war; yet these men have heard of no. movement made, either in the War Department or Congress, to encour. age them in the belief that their case has ever been considered. What a commentary upon the liberali- ty of a Government that turns a deaf ear to the prayers of its ever-faithful children, who, at its first call, devoted their lives to the fulfilment of its wishes, yet will lav- ish thousands of dollars upon foreigners, who care little for our country and insti- totious, though Bu feigning sympatby ‘for them the to gain their own self- ish ends. ; ‘a VOLUNTEER.

Mr. Webster is the subject of a very amusing anecdote, which we find in the Washington correspondent of a New Or- leans paper. It is said that when Mons. Sartige, the new Minister from France, asked Mr. Webster whether the United States would recognise the new Govern- meént in France, the Secretary assumed a very solemn voice and attitude, saying “why not?) The United States has recog- nized the Bourbons, the Republic, the Di- rectory, the Council of Five Hundred the, First Consul, the Emperor, Louis XVIII, Charles X, Louis Phillippe, the—” « E- nough, enough |” cried the French Min- ister, perfectly satisfied by such a formi- dable citation of consistent precedents. From the Washington Cor. of the Charleston Courier. W asuineTon, March 9. Mr. Hunter reported a bill, in the Senate yesterday, which is designed to remedy the de. ficiency in the silver change, and to promote the coinage of gold in convenient forms. ‘This bill fizes the weight of balf dollars at 192 grains, and quarter dollars, and dimes, and halt dimes in proportion. It requires their céinage, and their exchange at the mint for gold. hh authorizes the purchase of silver for coinage and distribution of the coins to the Sub Trea suries. It renders these cuins a legal tender to the extent of five dollars. The biil also pro vides for the stamping of ingots on bars of gold at the mint, and for the coinage of three dollar gold pieces, of such shape and size as the Se- cretary of the Treasury may direct. The subjects of the petitions which daily come before ‘Congress are as follows: for a modification of the tariff; lor and against an extenston of Woodwurth’s patent for bis plan. ing machire; for aid to the Cullin’s line of steamers; against the establishment of any new line of steamers by the Government ; and for and against intervention in foreign affairs. No petitions come in from ihe anti-slavery men. The Iowa land bill was further discussed yesterday, in the Senate, hy Mr. Underwood, who claims for the old States a fair share in the public domain, and oppuses the large and exclusive grants of land to the new States; and also opposes the pre-emption system, and the proposition for making donations of land to actual setilers. Mr. Underwood said that he had been a poor man himself, and had found industry the best cure for poverty. To give away lands would, he thought, encourage idie- ness, and obstruct improvement, and create a worthless population. All that are fit to have it would, he thinks, buy it, at the Government price. This bill has been laid aside to take the in. tervention resolutions, upon which Mr. Seward is to speak. Interchanges in statistical information are going on between this government and that of France. The Minister of the Department of the Inte. rior of France, has lately sent a very full and accurate statement of the number and duties of a of thai Department, and their salaries, Cc. The number of the officials employed is very great. This Minister applied to this Govern. meant for a statement of the Rail Road sysiem of the United States. It has been prepared and is quite an interesting document. The number of miles of rail roads in the United States now io operation is 10,800. Eleven thousand miles are in process of construction. At the beginoing of 1860 we shall have 70,- 0U0 miles ‘n operation. The new rail roads in the South and West do not cost more than half as much per mile as those built at the North, and for the reasons that we have more skill and experience in their construction, and that the land taken from private individuals for the roads cost jess. An interesting experiment, ordered by the Secretary of War, for the purpose of testing the relative merits uf the Ononda gn and Torks Isinnd salt, has been. made at New York. The occasion of this ex. periment is, that there basexisted astrong prejudice against salt of home manufac. tare; and for all orders for beet and for the use of the Government.it bas been ex y stipulated that it should be pack. ed in Turks Island salt. The experiment was the packing of eight hundred. barrels of-pork in the two varieties of salt. about two or three months since, which wag un- packed and examined by competent and the resait is that the meat the two kinds of salt was same, being compact and of or.— Nat.

Whigs to secure a triumphant, victory. in August next, If the convention question must come, let us at least drop it for the present, so far as it is practivable, move in ‘solid phalant against Locofocuism, and rescue the State from its baneful influence. .Who knows too, but this may be the most certain means of. putting a quietus upon one of the humbuge at least which the Locolgco success in the State has forced us, and which the western Whigs so much a- bominate? “We mean the amendment of the constution by the Legislature. We can all u- nite in opposition to that.— The Newbernian. This looks like a proposition for mum policy. and a mum candidate for Governor. Our Eastern friends should not deceive themselves with the belief that the Whigs of the West will be satistied to pursue an equivocating course in the approaching canvass, The present. position of the question of amendment of the Constita- tion by Convention or Legislative enact- ment, forces upon us the selection of a choice of methods. The Whigs of the West, as with one voice, will decide in favor of « Convention ; nor are they dis- posed to conceal their views, or to go into the canvass without an open declaration of them. The issue is to be made at some time—why not now? The East ‘might find it greatly tu their advantage to favor a Convention at this time. By so doing she would give assurance to the West, that she was willitg to demand hothing beyond her due, or to withhold from them any thing to which they are. justly enti- tled; and this of itself, so rational, would conciliate many in this part of the State, and destroy in a great degree that sec- tional feeling, which, if sustained and pro- voked by strong opposition, precludes al- most the possibility of an arrangement as satisfactory to the East hereafter, as un- der other. circumstances might be safely calculated on. At present, it is a contest between the East and West, in relation to the platform on which the Whig can- didate should take his position before the people. The East says he should be st- lent in regard to a Convention. On the other hand, we of this section, (and we have the Whig strength in the State.) con- tend that he should come boldly out and advocate a Convention. Which 'shoold yield to the other? Should the majority yield? Will they. do it? We certainly have no desire to add fuel to an evil flame, and sincerely bope that the Whig Convention will be able to recon- cile this difference, and harmonise the par- ty in all parts of the State. Bot we verily believe that nothing short of an open Con- vention for the amendment of the Consti- tution, and a bold avowal of that measure in the approaching canvass will give sat- isfaction to the West, or insure that hearty zeal soessential tothe success of the party. The Eastern Terminus.—The Newbern Stockholders in the North Carolina Rail Road, continue tv complain about a change in the jo- cation near Goldsborough, We think it is a matier which should engage the serious: at. tention of the Direétors, ‘and; if possible, so to arrange it as to secure the interest and satis- faction of all parties. IC it is practicable, we do notsce why a depot at Goldsboro’ with a branch to Wayaesboro’ would not answer the purpose, and save af the same time, the build. ing of a goud deal of road.

We learn that on Monday last, Mr. Walter Proctor, son of Mr. Thomas Proctor, a young man about 19 years of age, lost his life by fall. ing tbrough the sleepers into the pit of Mr. Sim’s Saw Mill, in the eastern part of this couniry. As the log approached the saw he moved back wards to avoid it, and before he was aware of it reached the end and fell off. He was dread- fully bruised and mangled by the fall, and died in a few momenis alter he was taken The negro endeavored to catch him as he fell, but failed in the attempt. He then turned to the lever, as soon as possible, and shut off the water but it was to little purpose, as the fall had kill. ed him. The deceased is represented as a worthy young man, and was employed about the mill. He leaves a kind father, and an af. fectionate mother, and a brother and sister to mourn their untimely lose.—Hillsbero’ Recorder. Mexancnoty Occurrence.—A valuable fe. male servant, obout 19 years of age, the prop- erty of E. D. M’Nair, esq., of this vicinity, was so severely burnt on Sunday morning last, by her dress catching on fire, that she died early ou Monday morning. She was employed in bathing with camphire an aged servant suffer. ing under an attack of rheumatism. Her back being towards the fire, her clothes caught, and the flames had made considerable progress be. fore she discovered her danger, Wild with af- fright, she fled from the kitchen to the house, by which time she was pertectly enveloped in flames. Mr. M’Nair had been induced to re- turn from church before the completion of the service, in consequence of the seeming indispo- tion of bis little son, and did what he could to extinguish the fire, but the servant was so se- verely burnt that the physician at once pro- nounced her recovery doubtless. She lingered through the night, seemingly insensible to pain and died about 7 o’ciock on Monday morning. Though it failed to save the life of the ser. vant, it seemed a providential interference that induced Mr. M’Nair to return home. In the room to which the servant retreated was a bed with curtains, and other light inflammable ma- terials, which she passed near, and would have greatly endangered the house if none of the white family had been present.— Hillsborough Recorder. Sad Accident.—An accident occurred on the State Road at Marietta on Tuesday, which resulted in the death of a Mr. Joho Somers, who resided a few miles below Marietta. The unfortunate man was intoxicated, and, attempted to step from the platform to the cars, fell, and the wheels ran over the top of his head, crush- ing it sé as to cause instant death. We understand he leaves a family.—Sav. Daily Morn. News. Attempted Suicide at a Gaming Table.— A man named Willis M’Clure, formerly engaged in the dry goods business, in Cin- cinati, lost $265 at a rondo table, in that city, on Thursday night last. Having on- ly $5 left, he risked that on a single roll, and lost. With a demoniacal yell, he leap- ed from his chair, and drawing a dirk some six inches in length, plunged it twice into his bosom, inflicting deep and ghastly wounds, which, in all probability, will ter- minate the misguided man’s existence. Extraordinary Scene in Court.—A civil suit, involving the amount of $147, had been on trial several days before the New- York Common Pleas. A witness by the name of James Cormick had been exam- ined, and his testimony on certain impor- tant points was direct and positive. On the 21st ult Mr. Cormick came into court and stated that he had committed wilful perfury, and asked the forgiveness of God, the court, and the jury. He said that after giving the testimony be became troubled in conscience and could obtain no peace of mind until he had set the matter right. The Maine res!

LETTER FROM PROF, EMMONS, We ‘bare been kindly permitted; ‘by Gov. Reid, to lay before our teuders the following in- teresting letter from Prol. Emmots, Sisie Ge. ologist : Goupsnoro’, March 6, 1852. To his Excellency, David 8. Reid: Ste: In view ‘of the improvements which are = _ ee? = Cape Fear river, and also in pectation ing deposits nt to the cee ney ty on Deep river, I deem it proper and best lo make explorations on ite course and banks while its waters were low. |.have, according ly. made numerous examinations vf ihe forma. Uons on this river, and am able to state facts of cvasiderable importance as to ils geology, but more particularly of the depusits of marl which abyund upon iis banks, and at a distance from its Course. Probably no substance bas been discovered which is’ so impgrtant to the interest of agfi- culture of the lower Counties of North Caro- lina, ae marl. The lands, especially these in which sand predominates, have beep worn out —I mighi, perhaps, say more than once. Now it Ie by means of marlemployed as the basis of a fertilizer, that these lands may be cheaply renovaigd. On the poorest, however, of these lauds it is not to be expected that this sub- stance can supply all that is wanting to impart to them theif original fertility ; inasmuch, as in the progress of long cultivation and the pro- duction of a variety of crops, the soil is ex. hausted of those elements which mar! vy itself does no contain. _ Phere are two kinds of marl upon Cape Fear river. One is kouwn as shell marl, and be. longs rather to the upper parts of. the river, or I may rather say it iv in thicker beds at distant points from the ocean. The other mari is known as the blue marl, and is found at points oeager the ocean than the former, ‘The: shell marl reaches to a point ai least twelve miles above Elizabethtown, and is usually well ex. posed at different poinis on the banks of the river. So, also, it is ofien met with in ravines at pints distant from ihe river. Heace it be- Comes more accessible to planters and requires lesa expense in hauling it. ‘These beds vary visible one-fourth of a mile on the banks ; otb ers appear to have been deposited insulated pacticles, ‘Theis thickness varies from a foot to seven feet. ‘They are not continuous depo sits. ‘The composition of the shell marl is tu the eye calcareous, varying, however, from a very sandy marl to a perfect lime deposit—con. sisting of carbonate of lime. Many analyses should be made of this marl, as it is only in this way that its real value can be determined. The blue marl isa different substance from the shell marl. It is, by the way, the substance knowa as the green sand, in New Jersey, and has lung been in use there and to the very great advantage of farmers. It belongs to the cre- taceous formation of Geologists, ‘The upper bed of this mar! | now believe extends above Elizatowo. It is, however, quite sandy, and | was unable to find at this point its characteris. lic fossils. Farther down the river, however, at Brown’s bluff aod Robinson biuff, | found in what I now regard as the upper green marl, the characteristic tussils—the Exogyne costata ;— and at Syke’s landing the Belemnite. At Black Ruck, however, the lower greeo marl is in great furce, and | believe at many points it would be easy to expose it, so that an inex. haustible supply of this substance might be ob. tained for the use of Planters on the Cape Fear and Deep rivers. From the foregoing it will probably be per. ceived that the banks of the Cape Fear and the nuperous runs which enter it from the South, are “rich in these fertilizers ; acd it only re- quires an additional spirit of improvement on the part of the Planters, to double the products of their plantations. It is proper to observe here that the marl deposits are found mainly on the lefi or South bank of the river. lam weil tion, if that body should make the question satisfied that the time is not distant whenthese | of an unrestricted Convention a test, and rich deposits will be fully employed, and that | their value will be well understood. It is true that experience will be necessary to determine some pvints iu its use. economical mode of prepariing it in order to adapt it to the varieties of soil on which it is propused to employ it. The blue marl espe. cially requires ao analysis in order to deter- mine its composition. The Jersey marl con. tains potash, and this substance is regarded as :wo are the expensive fertilizers, and are above all others to be sought for, for without them the cereals would cease to produce periect seed, I bave pot attempted to give a detailed ac- count of our examination upon the Cape Fear, but simply a statement of a tew facis which | supposed might be interesting to your Exeel- leary, or so far as fo satisfy you that the work is in progress.

They are commended to the attention of our readers. : This decussion, we suppose; will go on until the meeting of the Whig State Con- vention ; when we trast such grounds will be taken by that body as will enable all the Whigs of the Srate to vote for their nominee ; but no man nor any party can expect to prevail, against David Reid and Free soffrage, unless open, honest and decided grounds are taken, To put up.a candidate who shall go into the canvass at the present time, declaring that the Governor has nothing to do with the Con- stitation, and therefore he has no opinions to express in relation thereto, is ¢ confess ton of defeat, as’ well as an unworthy course for an independent and honorable man to pursue ; and the people will re: ject such a manby amajority which will be annibilatiog. Yet such is the course recommended by certain presses of the State who are op- posed to any amendment of the Constitu- tion by legislative enactment or otherwise. When they have decisively lost the State by this course, our warnings, perhaps, may be received with more favor. We add another remark—that a setile- ment of this matter, in some manner, -is highly necessary to the success of the Whig party. ‘While-it is kept banging over, and dividing us in this way, we shall always be beaten. Our course is plain, however. So farasthe Reform of the constitution by convention is concerned, we are for it ; and it is our design to press it henceforth upon the people of the State, without reference to the opinions of the Whig Convention or its nominee. If they accord with us, we shall rejoice at it—if they do not, we shall labor for their suc- cess all the same, with our best ability, as all good Whigs ought and we bope will. But if the course recommended by one of their presses here, is pursued ; namely, to nominate a candidate, ‘without reference to his opinions on State Reform ;” or that of another press elsewhere, to permit “free suffrage to settle itself, or else go by default ;” thovgh we shall look with pain upon the disastrous slaughter which will ensue, we shall have but little pity for the wisdom cf a party that can follow such advice, and be clear of all blame for the consequences. The occasion demands frankness and freedom of exposition, and boldness to set the truth clearly before the eyes of the people, An energetic decision will give the Whigs the advantage ground in the coming contest; timidity, indecision, neutrality, or sectional time-serving, will defeat the party, and not kill the Conven- tion movement at last, if that is the thing desired. We are told that ‘the Whigs of the East are opposed, earnestly opposed to an unlimited Convention ;” and that “this be- | jeet, because “it can hardly be expected” the principal fertilizers in it ; and | bope it will | that the Whigs of the East will support be’ fuund that potash and also phosphate of lime | him, if be acts independently and are elements of the marie of this State. These | ly according to his “earnest” opinions. Is : iu of weidkwcal! ais defeat as we ver tere ing so, it can bardly be expected that they will support the nominee of the Conven- require the candidate to canvass the State on that issue.” This, then may be regar- ded as wholesale ostracism of the Whigs f the West, who are “earnestly” in favor It the can. didate should be a Western man, and “earnestly” in favor of a free Convention, he mast muzzle his tongue on that sub- ly and upright- this liberal? Is this fair? The hope is expressed“that the Whig convention will look to the established landmarks of the party.” We hope so too. | What is the “established landmark” on Free Suffrage. we are hot told. If pria- ciple is to govern, the Whig Convention should oppose party tinkering with the Constitution, and its attempted amend- ment by party legislation, and maintain the Republican doctrine that the dlone have the right to amend the funda- mental law, acting in‘ their sovereign ca- pacity. ; It is idle, it ts utter folly to hope for any escape from this issae.

The facts, so far as we could ascertain, are as fullows : . , _ About’ half/past fice o'clock this morn- ing fire ‘was di red issding from’ the Upper story of a small brick house in Mai- den lane, one doot from East street, occu- ge for some time past hy a man named ages reates hootmaker, The firemen and police were promptly on the ground, and succeeded, in pats ie the fire 10, the irt.ol the house where it, originated.— INO One appearing in the house at the time of the fire, and it being known that it was occupied, some uneasiness was felt as to the fate of the: inmates, and after the flames were subdued soine of the police ascended to the upper story, where a most awful and horrid spectacle met their sight. The body of White was found lying upon the floor, with his bead nearly sever- ed from the body, his throat being cut from ear.to ear ; and a few feet from him, near the hearth, was found the body ol his daughter, about fifteen years of age. The bedy of his little son,. about. two years old, was.lying on the bed. The throats of the children were also cut, and their bodies blackened and burnt ‘almost to a crisp by the fire. The bodies were still warm and smoking from the effects of the fire, and,‘as soon as circumstances would admit, were removed to a stable adjoining. It was found, upon examina- tion, that the little boy. in addition to hav: ing his throat cut, had his brains blown out by a pistol. The whole affair seem. ed almost too dreadful for belief, and. had not the evidences been lying before them, the spectators might well have doubted if any one could exist so hardened as to per- petrate a deed so horrible. This is a most horrible affair, and is another warning against a too {ree indal- gence ‘in intoxicating drinks: . White, it appears, had been what is called a “free drinker” for many years, and while under the effects of liquor would abuse his wite and family in a bad manner. Tosuch an extent had this been carried of late that his wife, being on the eve of confinement, was induced to leave him about two weeks ago. and went to reside with her grandmother, where she now lies not ex pected to live. The girl was left with him in order to take care of the house and cook his meals. The mother, it is said, on leaving him, took with her the young. est child, the boy, and yesterday White went to see his wife, and induced her to let the boy return home with him, promis. ing to take care of him. He was proba- bly at the time meditating the deed which has filled every one with horror. White was about 35 or 40 years old. { GEMS OF THOUGHT. The inertness of the mind is often tak- en for its peace. He submits to be seen through a micro- scrope who suffers bimself to be caught in @ passion. True quietness of heart is got by resist- ing our passions, not by obeying them. Man’s nature rons either to herbs oc weeds; Jet him seasonably water the one and destroy the other. There are men who, by long consulting ooly their own inclinations, hx»ve forgot- ten that others bave a claim to the same deference. Neither the evil nor the good that men do is ever intered with their bones, but lives after them. It never was a wise thing yet to make meu desperate, for one who hath no hope of good hath no fear of evil. He who defers his charities till his death, is rather liberal of another man’s goods than of his own. - The poet who knows how to paint the afiections and passions of the soul, will al- wise Weal with greater delight than the most exact observer of inanimate na- ture. fie that never extends his view beyond the praises or rewards of men, will be dejected by neglect and envy, or infatua- ted by honor and applause. Some people think. that the heart can never be affected till it has andergone a battery of exaggerated phrases; and they drive nails into us by way of touching our feelings. A man is thirty years old before he has any settled thought of bis fortune ; it is trot eted before fifty; he falls a building in his old age, and dirs by the time his house is in a condition to be paint- ed and glazed. tn - Nations in a state of war are like indi- viduals in a state of intoxication; they frequently contract debts. when they are drunk, which they are obliged to pay when saber.

The length of railroad brought into operation since January 1, 1648, is 5,224 miles. Within the last yeas 2.153 miles have been finished.— Neacly all the lines in progress have been com. menced since 1844. It is supposed that from one thcusand to buodred miles additiouai to the 10,898 no ato be in progress will be put under contract during 1852. There never existed greater activity in the making of Railroads in the United States than atthe present time. Many of the lines pro- jected have taken tbe place of plans fur the con- sttuction of canals and turnpike roads. Accord. ingly, these works of public improvement are \ mot prosecuted with the same ardor and energy us formerly, although much activity exists in the construction of plank roads. ‘The labor and capital which they would require are absorbed ip the numerous and almost colosal schemes of railroad building. Since 1848 the extent of railroad opened for iravel and transportation has nearly doubled, and there is reason to be- lieve that the increased length of road brought into use will not be less rapid during the next period of four years. By the year 1860 we may eapect that the "territory of the United States Will-be traversed by at least 30,000 miles of raileoad. lt is very difficult to form an estimate of the average expense per mile of building railroads ia the United Siaies. In fact no average can be assumed as applicable to the whole country, The cost of the roads in New England is about $45,000 per mile ; in New York, Pennsylvania, aud Maryland afoui $40,000. But in the in terior of these States the surlace of the country is‘broken, rendering the cost of grading very heavy ; and tearer the sea, wide and deep streams interrapt the lines of travel, and make the expense of bridging @ serious item. * Ia new England,*and the more densely.in babited paris of all the old States upon the At. laotic, asin all European countries, the extin- guishment of private tiles to the real estate re quired fur ‘railroads frequently forms a large part of the expenses included in the item of con. struction. In the Southern States and the val- Jey of the Mississippi $20,000 per mile is con. Gidereda safe estiinaie. There, in most cases, alfihe fands necessary for the purposes of the companies are given to them in consideration of the advantages which private proprietors ex. pect from the location of the roads ia the vicin. ity of their estates. In many of the Western States the cost of gradiog a lung line of road does not excerd $1,000 per mile—the cost of timber amounting ta hotbieg more than the expense of clearing it from thé track. For these reasons the ex- were of building railroads in the Southern and estern States is now much less than it will be when the country becomes as densely set. tled as the older States of the Union. The Central Railroad of lilinoia is an enter. prise which furnishes a femarkable example of the energy and spirit of improvement in the new States. Illinois was admitied into the con. federasion as a State in 1818, with 30,000 in. habitants. It bas 55,405 square miles of terri- tory, and @ population, according to the cens:1s of 1850, of 851,470. ‘The central railroad is to extend from its southwestern extremity at the confluence of the Mississippi and Ohio rivers, to the north jine of the State, with two diverg- ing branches. ‘The total length of this road, ineluding the main stem and branches, is to be siz hendred and eighty miles. ‘The cost-is es. timated at $20,000 per mile, or $13,600,000 for the entire work, without equipments for wp. erating it. This is the longest continuous line of road now in contemplation in the U. States of which there is any probability of speedy completion. It has been commenced with such facilities for executing the plans of its project. ors that there is no reasonable duubt that it will be finished within a few years. Mr. Asa Whitney proposes to construct a railrvad from St. Louis, or some other place on the Mississippi river, to the Pacific ocean, ter. minating either at San Francisco, in California, or at the mouth of the Columbia river, in Ore. gon. He solicits the patronage of the Nation. al Government for this prodigious work, and petitions for the grant of a tract of land equal in eatent to sitty miles in width by two thousand miles in length. His plans were first laid be- fore Congress in 1842, and he has since been continually occupied in recommending them to the favorable aneution of the Government and the people with great ability and zeal ; but with what success remains yet to be seen. Without penises, Lae ro with reference thereto, it may be said that his project is generally con- sidefed impracticable, irom the fact thet of the two thousand miles of territory which his route across the country must traverse, a large por- tion consists of desert or of sterile and very ef. evated mountain districts, in which can be found BO materiale uf construction, and which would @fferd no business for the support of the’ road, were the difficaliies of building it overcome.— Mafy intelligent men, however, are convinced of ta practicabithy and expediency. .” Phe railroad syatem of the Untied States be considered to hare commenced in 1830.—— The first opp put in operation was a short road mult for thé transportation of ice from a smal! @ to the wea, in the State of Massachusetts, The le . ip aati four miles. hh : d in .

In the intancy of the American railroad sys: tem, and for ten years thereafier, it was the rule to extend to every important enterprise of that character the assistance of the State ia which it was to be built. Penusylvania, Michigan, Llinois, Mississip- pi, and some other Siales adopied extensive systems of improvements, consisting of rail- roads ard canals, which they pursued un- \il theie credit failed; an event which bap- peried in most cases beforé any of the works had been completed and brought into profitable But the general practice was to charter companies, each of which was charged with the execution of some particalar work, and to aid them by loans of State stocks. practice has fallen into so much disfavor in some of the States that the citizens have incorpora- ted in their constitutions articles probibiting ad- vances by their Legislatures for such purpases, it is yet contioued by others, and Virginia, Ten. nessee, and other States are now prosecuting expensive works, considered essential to their proeperity, by means of advances from their respective treasuries. In the year 1850 Congress passed an act, after a very protracted discussion, granting to the State of Ilinois about 2,700,000 acres of public lands to aid in the construction of the Central railroad, to which allusion has been betore made. * This magnificent donation is reckoned by the company to which lilinois bas contided the building of the road to be worth $19,000,000. ‘Thie was the fire, instance in which the aid of the National Goverumeant bad been estended to @ railroad project.

Express trains, on such occasions as the conveyance of the President's message, frequently maintain for long distances as high « speed as forty-five And on one road, that between New. York, and Albany, forty miles per hour is the regular rate for all passenger trains. The fares or rates of passage are not uni- form. In New England, the average price per mile for the conveyance ol passengers is under two cents; from New York to Boston it is two and four-teoths; from New York to Philadel- phia, three and four-tenths ; from Philadelphia to Baltimore, three and one teath. York to Cincinnati the distance is 857 miles by the Nofthern route, of which 143 miles are travelled by steamboat. sage for the whole distance ie $16 50, being slightly under two cents per mile. The lines between Baltimore and Cincinnati soon to be opened.will be 650 miles in length, and the tare will be $18 ; that is, two cents per mile. Believing that the history of the origin, con- dition, and extent of the railroads in the United States forms one of the most important subjects of statistical investigation, and one not ally understood, I have devoted a portion of my time to the preparation of a complete history and detailed statement respecting each of the railroads in the Uvited States, to accompany the other statistics to be embraced within the seventh census; but, a¢ cise their right of abridging the work on this and otber subjects, it is impossible, in advance, to say what the census when i contain.

We merely mentioned the fact last week that the contract for the construction of the above road had been closed, not hav- ing time then for a single remark upon the great influence that important im- prove:nent, when completed, will exert upon the prosperity of our town, nor of its incalculable value as a feeder of the Che- raw and Darlington Rail Road.

Carolina called to consider the necessity of a continuation ofthe road from Center to the fatter place. ceedings will be foond in this day’s paper, from which it will be seen that a resolu- tion was adopted in favor of the project. We thus have under contract and course of construction, forty miles of plank road directly through the centre of the valley of the Pee Dee, and in perspective a continuation to Concord of 35 miles more which opon every human probability will be built in less than two years. this main stem completed to Concord, with such lateral branches as the resources of the adjacent country requires, we need nothing bat the connecting link of Rail Road from Cheraw to the Wilmington and Manchester Road, to command the whole trade of the Pee Dee valley.

The vote of the Democratic State Con- vention of Lovursiana, in expressing the choice of the party in that State for the Presidency, was, for Gen. Cass 101, and for Mr. Douglas 72. The same of Mr. Bochanan was also placed before the Con- vention, and afterwards withdrawn, when his friends united with those of Gen, Cass. A resolution was passed pledging the Democracy of Louisiana to the Support of any candidate who shall be nomina‘ed by the Baltimore Convention, and. a resolu- tion declaring Mr. Douglas the second choice of the Democrats of Louisiana was voted down.

We only repeat an old story, annually told for many years that on Tuesday the Hampshire were entirely successful in carrying the elections in that State. Ac cording to the latest reports from Concord, they have elected Dr. Noah Murtin Go- vernor by a majority of about a thousand votes, besides securing a majority of the members in both branches of the State Legislature. This will enable them to choose a United States Senator of the same politics, to take his seat in March, 1853, when the term of Mr, Hale will ex- pire.—National Intelligencer. t, when we say emocracy of New “place of rest.” Salt Lake Emigration.—To those unin- itiated in the workings of the Mormon fraternity (says the St. Louis Times) the number and character of the emigrants to the Salt Lake must prove a matter of considerable astonishment. in one hundred would credit the assertion that near three hundred families are now in St. Louis preparing to emigrate to this Sach, however, is _ the case, and we have reliable authority for stating that the emigration to the Salt Lake valley this season will not tall short of five thousand sools. of this emigration leave the frentier at Kanesville, travelling the north side of Platte—a route that has always claimed preference with their people.

This is all the South requires. We have nothing to say to the opinions which people of other States, from pre- judice or ignorance, or from conviction, may entertain with regard to the subject referred to.

When comple- ted it will be 230 feet high, and 500 jeet span; stone piers set on the bed of the rock, are carried up 30 feet high from the bed of the river, a few rods above the up- per falls. From the top of piers, the wood work rises 200 feet, and so perfect is the model of the bridge, that it is thought there will not be the least tremor or mo- tion under the heaviest train of cars that may ever have occasion to pass over it. Sci. American. To give an idea of the great degree of drunk ennese existing in the City of New York, it is stated that Justice LotLrop had no less than fity-seven prisonere brought before him at the Tombs, on Sunday morning, charged with drunkenness and consequent disorderly conduct. A movement was made a day or two ago, in the Board of Assistants, to increase the city police force, which already numbers 930 men, and cost last year $530,000. ‘Phe arrests last year were 180,646, of which 140,972 were the re- sult of drinking. COSTUMES IN PARIS. The new costumes required at Paris for the Council of States, the Senate, and the Ministers with a general expansion of the taste for splen. did apparel, are giving employment to tailors, hatters, gold lace makers, &c. The style of dress with the ladies has also undergone a mag. ical change. Flowers, ribands, beads, and jewels decorate their heads. ‘The dresses are laden with boquets shining with spangles, and rich with embroidery in gold and silver. All this is the result of political dictation ; its de- sign being alike to dazzle and delight the fre- quenters of saloons with the new regime, and at the same time to empty their purses in the tills of the comforted and rejoiced storekeepers of the metropolis. The ings Outdone.—The Chillian pa. per, El Pueblo de Capiapo, says credible wit. nesses, who have just arrived here from Calde. ra, in Chili, communicate to us the following particulars :—A succession of musical sounds have been distinctly heard beneath the water at the distance of a quarter of a mile from this port. Every evening, about dusk, large parties go off in boats tu listen to this mysterious concert of submarine music. The tones are various, and so well combined as to produce perfect har. mony; and the sound, in its duration and vi- bration, resembles the deepest tones of the or- gan. Ships’ crews are daily attracted to the spot besides multitudes both of young and old, and of men and women, who pass hour afer hour in listening to the vibrations which seem to pass along the keels of the ships, while they en- tertain each other with a thousand curious, probable, or ridiculous conjectures about the cause of the phenomenon. Our friend, Mr. W. assures us that on the spot whence this subma. rine music proceeds, the surface of the water assumes a deep green color, emanating an ef. fluvium like that which rises from bodies in a state of putrelaction.— Newburyport Herald. Both branches of the City Councils of New York, on Monday last, rejected a resolution which proposed to appropriate one thousand dollars for the relief of the ninety-odd Americans who were taken prisoners in Cuba and have just returned to that city from Spain. They are said to be in a state of destitution. and unable to return to their homes without obtaining relief. Courting Distinction.—The Cuban pri- soners have made the North American Hotel, in the Bowery, their headquarters. They held a meeting yesterday, and re— solved “ that each member wear a small blue ribbon, attached to a piece of black crape, attached to the left breast of his coat, in memory of their lost comrades, and to distinguish them as members of the Cuban prisoners.” Well, there is no accounting for taste.—N.

The distance’ is ‘a question which pro- perly comes dp for consideration at this time.” This" niast necessarily be depend- ent, to @ very large extent, apon the quali- ty of land to be planted. Rich bottom tands can sustain many more stalks to the acre than the common uplands of the country. It will perhaps be best that our instruc- tions take these latter as a basis, and leave the variance to be made to suit the cir. cumstances of each case. We think up- on our uplands, that as a safe general rule to suit all seasons, nbout four feet each way for the hills of one stalk eacl is a good distance. If the year should be wet, we know that corn will do well planted thicker, but if dry, mach injury will result to the crop. This then may be laid down as the rule, which bas been found to work well, and which may be regarded as the basis opon which calculations are to be made, whether the planting should be in the drill or with rows, narrower one way and wider the other. We regard it best, on several accounts, to make the rows for single stalk corn four and a half feet by three and a half, or perhaps it would be even better to make the rows three by five feet. On lands of thekind now under cousideration, we decidedly prefer one to two stalk corn; the certain- ty of securing a good stand, the ease of culture and the larger support from a giv en space of soil, all being in favor of the for:ner. We scarcely consider it necessa- ry here to discuss the relative merits of the hill or drill planting. Circumstances often control this question and settle it, and when they do not, we have a bare leaning to the hill in preference to the drill system, feeling that the latter is ra- ther more difficult in culture, and with less. guarantee of a uniform stand. We will not now press our advice further on this subject,than to arge the importance of straight planting. We do not ask this as a mere concession of good taste, but as a benefit in the culture of the crop of great value. With this done, the good plow- man, in all except the first working of corn, will do about all that may be need. ful, and leave the hoes in the cotton, where their services will probably be very much needed (as the Almanac man would say) about this time. Grabbing the Public Lands.—Mr. Downs of Louisiana, in some remarks in the Sen- nate, on the Jawa Land bill, said * Mr. Douglas had earned bis title to the sup- port of Illinois for the Presidency. by pro- viding means from the Public Treasury for constructing 404 miles of railroad in that State.” This, at $30,000 a mile, about the aver- age price of constructing railroads, would give nearly fourteen millions of dollars.— A very good title, indeed, to the support of the other States, who have been rob- bed to thatamount? The foerteen mill- ions of dollars are derived from public lands, which were ceded by Virginia to the Union, for the common benefit of all the States, herselt included. The Domocrats, who rule in both bran- ches of Congress, among which number is Mr. Douglas, tell us that it is anconsti- tutional to distribute these lands among all the States; but it is perfectly right and proper to appropriate them to partic- ular States. By this mode of construction and action, Virginia, which is quite as needy as any other in the Confederacy, is deprived of ail share in that great fand. Her representatives in Congress sit silent and acquiesce in this grab system. They are too conscientious to advocate a gener- al distribution, by which their own State would be benefitted—and they profess to be unable to prevent others from seizing upon as much as they want. Bot these others—these grabbers—are their chosen political associates—the very men, whom they are recommending to Virginia, as suitable-persons to fill the Presidential chair. The Legislature of the State, with 40 Democratic majority, follow in the foot- steps of their Congressional | fellows. — ner én this. poor old Commonwealth, in quest of every cow and hag, and every domestic utensil, to lay the heavy band of taxation apen ; but their scruples will not permit them to demand of Congress a fair portion of that vast fund, w ich was al Per own once—and which is be. ing daily plundered by theirown politica associates.

They are, wedded: to their sterile abstractions—sterile of good, at least—though very prolific in mischief to Virginia. ws . _ Nevertheless, we trost the Whigs will bring this subject before the Legislature and the country. There is no ‘other known means for presecoting internal im- provements at the present moment. All the works will have to be stopped for the want of fonds—for the taxes to be raised for existing liabilities, will be fully as moch as the people can pay for years to come. ‘The subject, therefore, appeals to every man who feels an interest in devel- oping the resources of the State; and in fact to every one who has to pay a por- tion of the enormoos taxation, to be levied during the year. Let the issue be made and submitted to the peopleo—whether they prefer to be overwhelmed with taxes, and to see all their improvements arrested—/for the sake of Democratic scruples—while Democrats from other regions are plondering the treasury; or whether they will claim a fand which is justly theirs, and which will relieve them of a large portion of their taxes, and at the same time enable them to prosecute those great works which are assential to our prosperity. On such an issue, we cannot doubt the verdict of the people. They will not, they connot consent to be ground into the dust by in- tolerable taxes, merely to bomor the af- fected purism and antediluvian notions of a set of political Hunkers, who think of nothing bat their salaries. Let the issue be tried when the tax gatherer makes his unwelcome round this summer. Nothing is more certain than that, with Democratic rule, the State of Virginia is destined to recede in population and in all the elements of greatness. The taxes to pay existing debts, and the salaries of the new appendages to “ Joseph and his brethren,” will cause such distress in the State, that the people will emigrate, and all improvement will be arrested. We ask the people of the West, as well as the East, to reflect upon this. From what quarter can the Democrats derive any re- lief for our embarrassed condition? They will not touch the land fund—they are too virtuous for that;—and all the taxes they can screw out of the State, will not be more than sufficient to defray current expenses. Is there, then, any wise or pa- triotic alternative, but the Whig policy of demanding from the Federal Government that portion of the public lands to which the State is entitled? Js there any other device, by which our improvements may be continued and our taxes diminished? Richmond Whig. From the Greensborough Patriot. MR. CLAY AND THE PRESIDENCY. There are at present but three individuals among the Whigs, whose names are used to any greal extent, in connection with the next Presidency, viz: Mr. Filimore, Gen. Scott, and Mr. Webster; with very little prospect of Mr. Webster receiving the nomination of the Na. tional Whig Convention—.so that the choice will be between Mr. Fillmore and Gen. Scott.— ‘The South generally, we believe, prefer Mr. Fillmore. We have just read an extract of a letter from Mr. Clay, in which that eminent statesman expresses a decided preference for Mr. Fillmore. Referring to Gen. Scott and Mr. Websier, he says :—‘I wish to say no- thing in desogation from bis eminent competit- ors. ‘They have both rendered great service to their country—one in the field, the other ie the cabinet,” but goes on to give reasons why Mr. Fillmore should be preferred. The story has several times of late been put in circulation, says the Lynchburg Virginian, that Mr, Clay had declared that be would ra- ther see Gen. Cass President, than any man living. ‘The Democratic press, particularly tbat portion of it favorable to Gen. Cass, bas eagerly seized upon and disseminated the re- port. We will say nothing of the altitude io which such conduct places them—afier having reviled and calumniated Mr. Clay, for a third of a centuary, now to be bolstering up their own feeble favorites by imaginary sayings of bis, as if they were oracles—but will place be. fore the reader a positive denial of the whole statement. The editor of the New York Ex. press, has been permitted by Mr. Clay, to copy the following frum a private letter of his, ad- dressed to a friend in that city : * * * # * “You rightly understood me in expreasing a prelerence for Mr. Fillmore as the Whig candidate for the Presideacy.— This | did before I left home, and have fre- quently bere,.in private intercourse, since my arrival io Washiogton, I care not how gen- erally the fact may be known, but I should not deem it rigbi to publish any formal avowal of that preference under my own signature in the newspapers.

Nothing..was heard of them after. they left Columbia antil. Saturday. night last, when suspicion. having ‘riperied to a cer- tainty that some of them were counter. feiters, they were pursued, overtaken, and arrested in Lexington District. It seems that one of the party, who call. ed himself Jones, had gone to Charleston some time last week. where he passed some counterfeit money for which he bought clothing, receiving good money in exchange. Some of them had also passed their counterfeits on Mr. Wimbisb, of Or. angeburg, and both of these gentlemen having obtained information as to their movements, went in pursuit; and having ascertained that the party was in Lexing— ton District, obtained a warrant from Dr. Fitch, with which, accompanied by some of the Marshals and other citizens of Co— lumbia, they proceeded to Lexington Dis- trict, and arrested four of the party on Sat- urday night, and brought them to jail here on Sunday morning. The man calling himself Jones, was fully identified by the gentleman from Charleston at first sight and did not deny having passed the coun- terfeit money on bim. 1t seems that they have been operating between this and Charleston ever since they left Colambia. They also succeeded in passing some of their spurious money in Columbia, a- mounting, perhaps, to $200. The bills seen by Dr. Fitch, who issued the war- rant for their arrest, were of the denomi- nation of $100, 00 the “ Merchants’ and Mechanics’ Bank of Cheraw,” one of them was No. 447, Letter A, dated July 18, 1849, payable to B. Martin. The names of the President and Cashier, he did not observe. It ought to be well known that there is no such Bank asthe * Merchants’ Bank of Cheraw ;” it is the Merchants’ Bank,” Cheraw, S. C., and the Bank is- sues no bills of the denomination of $100 nor, we believe higher than $20. They also had counterfeit money on some Banks in Georgia, Tennessee, Ken- tucky, and Louisiana, bat on what Banks, and what denomination, we did not learn. Three of the men arrested represent that they are from Ashe county, N. C., and gave their names as John D. Nelson, A. N. Dickscn and George W. Ray. The fourth, Thomas Jefferson Reins, says he is from Carroll county, Va. Upon search- ing them, aboat $1500 of counterfeit and $2000 of genuine money was found on them, which they had no doubt obtained in trafficking and exchanging. We are informed these are not the names they as- sumed when they passed through Colum- bia. No-doubt they have scattered their spurious money wherever they travelled, and that much of it is in circulation, as we learn that several $100 bilis on the Bank of Cheraw have been lately pre- sented at our banks, and pronounced coun- terfeit. The four men arrested were ex- amined before Justice Miller yesterday morning, and fully committed to stand their trial at the next term of our court. The others, being only teamsters in their employment, were suffered to depart. State Rights Republican. PARKER AND RE-ACTION WATER WHEELS. Messrs. Editors—l have a circular in my possession, stating that all persons making, vending, or using any ré-action water. wheel, infringe on the patent of Z. & A. Parker, of Ohio. There were four agents in Vermont, last year, collecting heavy fines of all who were using any kind of re-action water wheels— giving only four days’ notice, and threatening that, if mot paid within that time, they would attach property to the amount of five thousand dollars wherever tbey could find it. The a- mount of fines collected in one county, io that State, was two thousand dollars. “I understand that they are going to commence with this State next spring ; there is a large number of Calvio Wing's Spiral Vent Water Wheels (patented Oct. 1st, 1830) in use io this State, and a pa- tent fee hae been paid to him or his agents for them. Now, I wish to know if Parker or bis agente can collect another fee on this or other re-action wheels. In No. 32, Vol. 6, of the Scientific American, it says that Parker 8 pa. tent has run out.

Mascher an indelible lead pencil : ite’ miarks cannot be rubbed out with india rubber afier it is left on the paper for a short time ; but it only makes a pale lead mark, and is nothing like the clear dark defined marks. made with ink, nor the beautiful jet black of manifold writers, made with prepared paper. A pencil that will write as free as tbe common jead pencil, and make beautiful black and permanent impressions like the manifold writing paper, is 2 desideratum. He who invents such a pencil first, bis fortune is safe; who will be the lucky man? It will be seen that we are not yet at (he end of invention. There are rewards offered by the French for inventions in Electricity ; Mr. Ray bas offered prizes for improvements con. nected with railroads, and there isa wide field for other improvements; and here let us say, that although some, at first sight, may. deem a substitute for pen and ink a small invention, we say, it is no such a thing ; it is more important than the one for which the French offer their reward, Let us take into consideration the great amount of writing that is performed eve. ry day; look at the letters, books, d&c., which engage so much labor every day, in all paris of the world; think of the barrels of iak that are consumed every day, even in New York City ; think of the number of times the hand of one quick peneman must travel from the sheet of paper to the ink. bottle, every day ; and oultiply the same number of times by the uum. ber of pensmen employed, and we shall find that an incalculable amount of time is lost by the mere dipping of thousands of pens, thou. sands of times, hourly, into dirty ink bottles. When imagination revels for a moment on the blessings that would be conferred upon the scribbling community, by the invention of a jet-black indelible pencil, we cannot help ex- claiming, “come, bright improvement, on the car of Time.”—Sci. American. A Strange Freak of Nature.—We were visited at our office, a few days since, says the Atlanta, Ga., Intelligencer, by a man named R. H. Copeland, a native of Laurens District, S.C., but now residing in Heard county, in this State, who pre- sents in his peculiar organization a very remarkable natural pbenomenon. His right arm and handand leg are affected in such a manner as to exhibit in every movement the nature and motion of a snake. The arm affected is smaller than the other, its muscular developments dif. ferent, sensation much less acute, and its action altogether beyond the control of his will. The motions of the arm seem to be impelled by a separate and distinct violition, or an instinct entirely its own— the instinct of a rattlesnake. The char- acter of the movements is shaped to a considerable extent by external circum. stances, as any sudden noise, startling ap- pearance or the like, the arm sometimes forming itself into a coil—the hand dart- ing from the coil as if in the act of strik- ing; at other times the arm and band have the movements of a snake under full headway making his escape, the limb preserving the peculiar tortuous motion of the reptile. At such times, the rapidi- ty of the motion is truly astonishing. The action of the affected parts is continuous. The muscles are never entirely at rest, though sometimes the action is less in- tense than at others. The whole of the right side of the body is affected in this manner. The right eye has a snagish look, which is not to be seen in the left, and in the formation of bis teeth the contrast is singularly striking. On the left side of the mouth, both the upper and lower jaw, the teeth are well formed and regular, while on the right side, above and below, they are extremely irregular, crowded, a fang like. ; Mr. C. is now about forty-six years old, and bas been thus affected froin the time of his birth. His is one of those cases which sometimes occur, in which the ef- | fects of intense fright with the parent is seen ia the unnatural organization of the offspring.

TAXES IN NORTH CAROLINA. “ TLe Raleigh Standard and Star bave pub. lished the * statement of the Tares of the State of North Carolina for the year 1850, collected by the Sheriffs of the respective Counties, and by them paid into the Treasury during the year 1851.” The aggregates under the several beads are as follows, via; Land Tar, $33.405.94 Town Property Tax, 3,653.38 Poll Tax, 36,133.07 Lunatic Asylum Tax, 20.075.88 Interest Tax, 25,007.87 Dividend and Profit, 3,115.24 Lawyers, Physicians, d&c., 1,253.96 Salaries and Fees, 676.80 Stud Horses, 1,936.27 Gate Tax, 125.96 Gold Watch, 893.48 Silver Watch, 547.02 Harp, 35.72 Piano, 1,132.70 Gold and Silver Plate, 1,055.62 Pleasure Carriages, 924.90 Playing Cards, 173.87 Bowling Alley, 846.00 Store Tax, 12,822.61 Pedlar Tax, 3,454.97 Tavern Tax, 5,551.64 Exhibitions, d&c., 918.50 Billiard Table, 846.00 Collateral Descent, 932.88 Foreign Carriage, 178.60 Drover, 502.90 Foreign Insurance Companies, 141.00 Deeds in Trust, &c., 4.70 Toll Bridge, 4.70 Fair, 14.81 $156,530.67 Add Tax of Yancy county, 296.14 Additional Returns, 7.04 $156,533.85 The above appears to he the net! amount of Taxes due and received frym the Sheriffs of the several counties. ‘The statement embodies, in addition, $600 as the penalty on the Sheriff of Yancey fur failing to settle.

W! a Ths kadeen loch 6 Weittdes poke ie grea: force in bis remark, that Mr. Fillmore higs are perfectly satisfied with the administration, it seems strange that Other aspirants might do as well, but why try new experiments when every thing goes smoothly on! Can any thing more be asked? Croakers affect misgivings us to the abilny of Mr. Fillmore to earry New York.— This is the merest moonshine. Why should he not carry New York? At the last popular election, in which be was a candidate for an important popular local office, he swept the State by a large majority, He was afierwards elected Vice Presidem. Has he since done anything to forfeit this popularity iv the estima. tion of the Whigs? If he has fosfeiied it by executing the Compromise, he is in company with all candidases for the Presidency, for eve- ry candidate will have to come down, or rather up, to this standard. “ It is then idle, for any one to pretend that for this course, Mr. Fillmore will loose New York. Ifbe cannot obtain the vote of his own Siate, soother Whig nominee can. Those who raise this objection are either seeking the nomination for some otber personal favorite, or willing to have the Whig party defeated, in the next conlest, for ulierior purposes. Perbaps Gov. Seward may wish to retaja New York for some future organization, on free soil principles. If so, the sooner it is known, the better for the Whig party andthe nation. Leave the mat. ter open for the unpledged consideration of the nominating Convention.” “X” the correspondent of the Baltimore Sun, says. “Mr. Humphrey Marshall's speech was an able delence-ot Mr. Fillmore’s administration from the poiat of view for a statesman. |t prove- ed that, afier all that bas been said by North. ern politicians, Gen. Scolt is not so available a candidate as Mr. Filmore or Mr. Webster, and not so likely to unite the party. It is also re. ported that Mr. Seward bas already expressed his readiness to support Mr. Fillmore, should he be the regular Whig candidate, nominated by the Convention at Philadelphia. The abolition game, afier the example of New Hampshire. would be as dangerous an experiment as it would be destructive of Mr. Seward’s own in. terests. Mr. Seward has no notion thus early in lifeto be Van Burenised.” “Ton,” another correspondent of the same paper, writes: * Mr. Clay, as it has been known here for some time, is in favor of Mr. Fillmore as the next President. The publication of bis letter avowing this preference and giving the solid reason for it that Mr. Fillmore has been tried and found able and faithful, and will goa great way towards rendering Mr. Fil!more the nom. inee of the Whig Convention, but may not se. cure his election, It will certainly tend to in. duce Mr. Filimore bimself to remain ia the posi. tion of a candidate for the nomination. There had been duubts up to this time, whether be would be a candidate, and it is known that, just before the session and ever since, he was himself disposed to throw up bis card.” These indications of public seatiment are exceedingly gratifyingtous. When Whigs al) over the Union, express the most unbounded confidence ia Mr. Fillmore, we cannot surmise @ reason why he should not be nominated.— Should he loose the vote of a single Whig, he will loose it because of, and not for, the want of a fidelity to the Constitution and the Union, which nothing could shake. [a what act has Mr. Fillmore differed from the great mass of the Whig party of the Union? On what ocea- sion has he disappointed the reasonable expec. tation of any member of the Whig party 1— No one can be pointed out, and it seems to us nothing short of miraculous that a Whig Pres- ident who has proved himself thus true to every obligation, should not receive the unanimous support of a Whig people. MR. FILLMORE. The Whig State Conventions of Ken- tucky, Tennessee, Louisiana, and Iowa have nominated President Fillmore for relection. We bope and trust the State Convention soon to assemble in this city will follow suit. He is undeniably the first choice of the people of North Caroli- na, as they have declared in all occasions. That remark of Mr. Clay that “he has been tried and found true, faithful and conscientious,” bas very great weight in our mind, as well as carrying the strong- est kind of a recommendation. We honestly confess we have no se- cond choice. It is true, we are bound by the decision of the National Convention and shall support its nominee,—but we trust no mere considerations of availability will prevail in the choice of that Conven- tion. Undeniably the popularity of Mr. Fillmore with the Whigs of the South is supreme—overtopping that of any man belonging to the party. We know his position; we have seen his determined and manly. action in support of the Con- stitution and in executing the laws,— we have confidence in him, that be will do what is right, and maintain the just rights of every section of the country.—we have » tried” him as Mr. Clay says; and there- fore we can at all times jastify our sup- port and approval of him from the past events, during which, and under bis ad- ministration, the dangers which threat- ened us have been averted, and the pacifi- cation of the country happily accomplisb- ed. Let North Carolina, then, by the action of our Whig State Convention, declare her preference for Mr. Fillmore, and add to the number of Whig States who have already nominated him.— Ral. Times. against ronning any man for the gover-;-"" norship who was not known to be ao aa- || eqoivocal internal improvement man.— | ga And it was charged that, David 8, Reid, the Democratic candidate, was either op- posed to the Rail Road. or occupied. an equivocal position. But cireumstances alter cases—and sometimes most strangly —so thought the uv Judge. Whether fovoring a Convention or a Rail, Road scheme is a settled principle of our party, we will not now discuss, but we are sure the Whigs always contended, and car- ried it out in practice. that they were con- servative and went for the. good of the majority, and submitted to the will of the people cheerfully. It bas always been a maxim of the Whig party that the people are sovereigo and their will should be the law; Why not then let them alter the constitotion in their own way? Shall we let our Democratic opponents, when- ever it suits their pleasure, take op these amendments separately, throw themselves astride them as hobbies and ride over os rough shod? We protest against such a course. In this manner we will be. bea- ten for years to come; for the people, if they can’t get these amendments by Con- ventions, will take the Democratic Free Suffrage, humbug bill. The spirit is rife among the masses. Many Western Whigs went for Free Suffrage two years ago, notwithstanding they knew it to be the hobby of a dema- gogue, who was seeking promotion by its means. And how did the Eastern Lo- cos go? They swallowed the nauseous dose without once making a wry face, even though in heart, they were bitterly opposed to it. They went for the party, right or wrong, and they will do so again if necessity requires it. Bot it is said this question should not be pressed now. Why not? Will a more favorable time ever come? The question of Free Suffrage will be forced upcn us. Gov. Reid will not eanvass the State with. out calling us out on the subject. We must stand up tothe ‘rack fodder or no fodder.’ It won’t do to fold our arins quietly and remain mum. If we go against all constitutional amendments we will be ‘snowed under’ suddenly and without remedy. If we advocate an alteration of the Con- stitation at all, we must either go for leg- islative enactments or a convention. We are already committed against the former, and, unless we oppose al! change of the fundamental law. we must choose the on- ly trae republican plan of the latter—a free Convention. And why put off this question? If it distracts the party now, will it not do so two years hence—or four, six or eight years from this time: indeed during any gubernatorial canvass hereaf- ter? It will come and the sooner the bet- ter. But still we do not znsist that the Whig Convention should adopt any plat- form of this kind. We think though, if our candidate should advocate a Conven- tion, he would be elected by a large ma- jority.—Concord Murcury. From the N. Y. (Dem.) Evening Post. ARE WE JOLLY, OR ARE WE NOT? That the wisest and best men sometimes dis- agree was first remarked, by a celebrated Ro. man Consul! ; but iis truthfulness bas received its latest ilustration in the case of two eminent hiving statesmen, each of whom is willing to be an American Consul afier the Roman model.— Messrs. Cass and Bucuatan each recently made a public expression of their views of the condition and prospects of the Democratic par- ty, from which we make the lollowing extracts: Mr. BucHANAN IN A LETTER TO FRIENDS In BaLrimore : “If read the ‘ signs of the times,’ there has seldom been a period when the Democratic party of the country, to which you and I[ are warmly attached, was in grealer peril than at the present moment.” Gen. Cass IN A LetrerR TO YOUNG MEN OF BALTIMORE: “ The political pros. pecis are so bright that they cannot but add to the social] pleasure of the evening ; for the decree has gone forth thatthe next Adminis- tration of the General Government must be in the hands of the De- mocratic party.” Now, (says the Post,) the question is, is the Democratic party in peril, oris it not f Are we jolly, or are we not? If the various candidates for the Presidency will give their opinions upon this critical ques. tion, it will facilitate the selection for a candi. date. If we read the signs of the times right, no man can be nominated at Baltimore who is not sound upon this question. A generous lat. itude will be allowed on every other, but there must be no dodging the issue hefe presented by these two eminent statesmen. Is the Demo. cratic party jolly, or is not? Correspondence of the Nat. Intelligencer. Battrworx, March 20. The Senate of Maryland passed yesterda the bill, without pana bs which House some days ago, uniting the Cumberland Coal and Iron Companies. The bill authoriz- es the uniting of seven distinct companies into ene, to he conducted under a common charier, with a capital of five millions of dollars. The compeny is also privileged to hold twelve thou. sand acres of lend in Alleghany county. Ii is also stipulated that said company shall send, or cause to be seni, (wo hundred thousand tone of coal annually to tidewater, which must produce a large revenue to the State. A large aumber ol. .thase interested in this enterprise sre from New York and elsewhere in the North. Some, I believe, reside in Philadelphia. Jt is sup- posed that the vast power which this compagy will possess must seriouely operate against oth. er smaller enterprises of the kind in that re- gion. ,: passed the | cur to the mind of every reflecting man how important it is that we should meet this Fayetteville enterprise at Mocksville, with a Plank Road from Salishary.— Witbout,it, we must inevitably suffer loss, whilst with this improvement, and the ad- vantages of the rail road, there can be no reason to fear the result. Bat how much longer shall this subject be excluded from the, minds of our people ? Fayetteville is now receivingtoll on 91 miles of her Western Plank: road, and has, at the same time, commenced and finisb- ed more or less of four or five other simi- lar works. Is it good policy in the citi- zens of Salisbury to hesitate and delay whilst they see such progressiveness on the part of their Eastern competitors ? Clearly it is not. We invite the attention of the reader. to the following cool, business—like remarks of the Observer, on the extension of the Fayetteville road. Let noone doubt that they are earnest on this subject. Extension of the Western Plank Road. —The extension of the Fayetteville and Western Plank Road, by a branch from a point of Johnsonville, to Lexington and thence to Mocksville. is a subject which we hope our friends in that section will not abandon. The trade of this place, and we think the income of the Road would be greatly benefited by such a branch. There is a scope of country ly- ing South of Salem, in the direction of Salisbury, that would give a fine trade to Fayetteville. The road would strike the Yadkin River and Valley above any otb- er line.of improvement, and would com- mand the trade should the river be made navigable, and if it should not, the produce transported hy wagonage would amply repay the outlay. Should the road be extended still fur- ther west from Mooksville, eitherto States- ville or Taylorsville, intersecting the Cald- well and Watauga turnpike, (which runs from Taylorsville to the Tennessee line.) and also the projected Western Turnpike, (a State work) extending to the Georgia line, our western friends: will have the benefits of a Home Market, and not be compelled to seek a foreign one, What assistance the Fayetteville and Western Road could now give, we can-, not say, but presome the company woul do all in their power to forward the work. We hope our Lexington and Mocksville friends and those further west will take up the subject. We will here do all. we can.—Fuy. Observer. EXCITEMENT IN WILMINGTON. A person styling himself the “ Rev. E. Leahey, D. D.” and professing to be a Monk of La Trappe, advertised to give lectures in Wilmington in the first part of last week, upon the doctrines and practices of the Romish Church ; his sub. ject being “ Popish Nonneries and Aaric- ular Confession.” His lectures, it is alledged by some, are obscene and immoral. None but adalt males are admitted to them. Considera- ble opposition was made by a part of the board of Aldermen of Charleston, S. C., to his lecturing in that city. Bot it was at last decided that they had not the power to prevent it. Wherever he has lectured he has excited the Romish people to a ve- ry considerable éxtent,—in some cases to riot and: bloodshed. The Wilmington Commercial- says the lecturer makes “some astounding developments, which it is proper every citizen of the United States should know.” “ Thou shalt not steal” is a statate law, both moral and spititaal—both heman and divine; and. the individeal who vio- lates it,incors opprobium—disgrace, of the most Insting kind. _ “Thos shalt not take the name-of the Lord thy God in vain,” is ‘also # statate law, both homan and divine. So far as authority and reason and common sense are concerned it is not jess binding than the law which forbids theft, How is:it then, that society makesso great a dis. tinction between them? ‘A NOBLE: ACT. pad 2 Informed Uy ea ape anes Mr. Je. | ri ing foreman ol 'E 4, dis. | Courier speaks of 4 be reside |'ced under medical | for the purpose of savi Jone Jost hie life while wt adr ‘Rev.

Ob ! tell me this is bat a dreem— A vision of the night, Which tho’ it now may sear my brain, Mast vanish with the light ; But tel] me not that love like mine Has been despised and spurned, And every hope of happiness To agony is turned! And yet why not 1—I know ‘tis so, Where is my strength and pride? Ah! these shall aid me e’en from self My bitterness to hide. And to the cold and heartless world I'll wear a placid emile, And acting this unaatural part Conceal my grief the while. I know he thinks ’twill break my heart, He’s read it but too well ; And how it almost worshiped him His treach’rous lipe may tell. But now unmoved I'll meet his gaze Nor turn my glance aside. T’ll teach him now, how women’s love Can yield to woman's pride. Oh had he died—calmly I'd looked Upon his marble brow, Then clasped his thin cold hand in mine And there renewed my vow, To love—and love but him alone While Heaven gave me breath, And give up all earth’s happiness To be his bride in death. Often I'd heard his spirit voice Upon the evening air, And loved to gaze on heaven above Because his home was there, And my lone heart like some caged bird Too restless at his fate, Longed to have burst its prison bars To meet its spirit mate. But now, oh! now I’!! never yield, Vl mingle with the throng, And gayly laugh and wildly join In every festive song. And more, far more than this I'll do, My agony to hide : This hand without my heart I'll give, And be another’s bride. Ah! yes, the marriage bells shall ring Out on the evening air, And old and young will blessings breathe Upon the happy pair, When on the ear in yonder church The organs notes shall fall, And I became a stranger's bride He,—unzE shall see it all ! But oh I could not, would not dare To wrong a noble neart, And give for one that really loves— A broken ruined heart. May he have loved in years gone by, But loved like me in vain ; For then he’ll yet no human heart Can love—then love again. I'll give him that esteem and trust, His goodness must inspire ; And in retarn his confidence Is all that I desire. I'll be all that a wife should be— Delight to do his will, And tho’ my heart throbs not for him T'll do my duty still. And then—if still this foolish heart Yet lingers o’er the past— And to its early love is truae—~ And faithful to the last. As then to love will be a sin I'll strive each day and hour, To crush and trample to the dust, My heart’s lone “ fragrant flower.” But ob! if like the plant which yields When crushed its sweetesi breath, It’s fragrance still must hover round Until I sleep in death ; Let fever—or consumption come—~ Aid nature do her part, And tell the world I died of thesee— Not of a broken heart. (EMMA. Beggars in New York.—By a letter ad- dressed to the Mayor of New York, we find the following in relation to the in- crease of paupers in that city: The number of beggars in New York is greater than any city in the world; within a year they have increased be- yond all compotation. They have also become bold and insolent. It now requires one servant additional to attend the street door. The calls are incessant. I had twenty-five calls at my house before two o'clock, on Tuesday. What isto be done? In. London, Paris, Liverpool, and every well regulated city, they are not allowed to enter buildings or knock at the doors. 1 recommend a similar ation for N.

C. 20th February, 1852. My Dear Sir: You desire me to write out some account of an experiment with Guano made by me the past season, with such suggestions as might be serviceable to you in conducting a similar one upon the ensuing crop, My acquaintance with this article, as you are aware, is too limit- ed to enable me to prescribe with certain- ty the best rules for its application and management ; butas far as my experience extends, it affords me pleasure to furnish you with such facts as have come under my observation, leaving you to make such deduction therefrom as to you may seem reasonable and legitimate. I used a small quantity of Guano (Peru- vian) last spring for the first time. To sat- isfy myself of its value, I applied it alone and in combination, to almost every pro- duction both of the field and garden, and to different descriptions of soil ; and each application was followed by such marked effects as to fully meet my expectations. But in one instance only did pee that attention to the details that would justify my reporting it as a well conducted ex- periment, The piece of land selé@ted was the central portion of a field situated on the river ridge, of light, sandy soil, (known as isinglass or mica lands) and of nearly uniform fertility. The time of application was at the first plowing of the corn, and the manner was as follows: A narrow shovel plow was run round the corn as closely and deeply as practi- cable, and in this furrow track, a level table spoonful of Guano was deposited op- posite each hill. The bands engaged in this operation were directed in depositing jt to scatter it 6 or 8 inches in the furrow, but to suffer none to fall out of it. To three rows it was-applied as above de- scribed, and to three contiguous the same quantity of a mixture, composed of 3 parts in bulk of Guano to 1 of Plaster ; and thus alternating throughout (first gaano then the mixture) the whole plat was manur- ed. A turn plow followed immediately, which covered it so deeply as not to be disturbed in afterculture. On either side of this plat a few rows were left without manure, and the balance was cotton see- ded at the rate of 20 bushels to the acre. The quantity of Guano used above, when alone, was 55 |bs., and when in combina- tion with Plaster, 31 lbs. to the acre.— And as a “table-spoonfall” does not con- vey a very accorate idea of quantity, it may not be improper to state that the ca- pacity of the one used by me was about 4 ounce. The whole field received the same cultare..- In a few weeks after the application, the weather being seasonable, the most triking effects were observable ; the corn, here the Guano and mixture were used, the best bottom lands, and soon overtop- ped any otber portion of the field. It con- tinued to grow finely. and promised a very largely increased yield until about earing time, when it suffered so seriously from drouth that I was induced to believe that the beneficial effects of bar reptied = to a great extent, if not entirely ears myself, however. beyond a doubt, I took two hands into the field about the last of November and gathered a number of contiguous rows as treated above, weighing, (being more accurate than "ce surement) each row separately, and result was as follows :—Guano alone at a cost of @1 65 per acre (55 Ibs. at 3 cents pet Ib.) as compared with the vomanared portion increased the production 3 bosh- els; in combination with Plaster at pat of $1 33 per acre, as compared above, in- creased it 6 bushels per acre. re- salt was uniform in a number of compar- isons. The cotton-seed gave better yle than the Guano alone ; bat when compar- ed with the mixture the result was vari- ant ; in one instance the cotten-seed had the advantage,—in another the mixture ; the difference being so small in each trial as to leave me in doubt to which of the two a preference should be given. When. i ol it a9 a great question of politi. ‘assumed the dark, green color peculiar to lie Y) We feel no hesitation in sayi " legitimate subject for the decision tthe polls, If they rallp-dround in, in conelusion, from forti- however, the relative cost of the two sp- Id | manures, is that its strength is concentra- plications ($1 33 and $2 00) are consider. ed, it would not seem unreasonable to in- fer that Guano when thus combined, is at least as cheap at 2 cents per pound as cotton-seed at 10 cents per bushel. From the above experiment it would appear that Guano, when used alone, will not repay the planter the cost of its application when corn commands less than 55 cents per bushel ; but when combined as above it may be profitably employed everywhere in the cotton States, as corn can be grown with it for a small fraction over 22 cents per bushel—a sum much be- low the average price of this article. It was with this last result that I was most highly pleased, as it obviates to some con- siderable extent the only valid objection to its use—its market value—for Plaster costing but a trifle, not only cheapens the manure but adds greatly to its ie eet That Guano isa powerful fertilizer is beyond a doubt; but whether it is adap- to our soil and productions, and if so, whether the high price at which it sells, will admit of its profitable employment as @ means for renovating our lands, are questions of importance to the planting community. It is not pretended that the smal! trial above by any meansdetermines these important questions ; for in agricul- tural matters especially, where there are so many circumstances to be considered, ever varying and each tending to change or modify the result, no one experiment, however carefully conducted, can certain. ly establish a single fact. All that can be claimed for it, therefore, is, that it raises @ probability in its favor, sufficiently strong to warrant further and more ex- tended experiments. Accordingly, I have procured, and intend using the present year, more largely of these articles; and in lieu of the suggestions you desire me to make, I will give you, as far as my space will allow, some idea of the manner in which I intend applying it. On cotton land I shall use from 150 to 200 Ibs. per acre ; deposite it in drill, as is usual with other manures, alone and in combination. Before using it, however, all the lamps should be carefully reduced, so that the whole may be passed through & seive, and to secure regularity in spread- ing it, it has been found advantageous to combine it with othermanures. Vegeta- ble mould, saw dust, and charcoal, are re- commended to be suitable substances witb which to compost it; but the latter, how- ever, 1s perhaps to be preferred to all oth- ers, as it is a good absorbent, deprives Guano of its unpleasant odor, and is of it- self on some soils a good manure. What- ever the substance may be that is to be used in combination with it, it should be perfectly dry; or if wet, the ccmpost should be buried as early as possible, as moisture produces immediate decomposi- tion, and thereby disepgages those gases which constitute its @hief value. For this among other reasons, it is not deemed judi- cious to compost it with stable or barn- yard manure. | intend combining it with Plaster in the proportion of about 25 per cent. in bulk of the latter, which would not vary far from 50 per cent. in weight ; with charcoal (the quantity depending on the amount at command) and also with} common salt in minute quantity. Another way in which I intend using it on cotton, is to make a resolution of it io about the following proportion :—to eve- ry pound of Guano, add 10 gallons of wa- ter. Small as this quantity seems, I am induced to believe from a small trial which I made last year, nearly similar to this, that it would prove to be highly bene- ficial in imparting an early and vigorous growth tothe young plant. This steep should be applied to seed immediately be- fore planting, and whilst wet witb it, they should be rolled in Plaster. Ove bashel of the latter to 25 or 30 of seed, is about the quantity which the lint will take op. On corn | intend using 4 ounce to the hill ; depositing it near the grain—bat not in immediate contact with it, as from its highly caustic nature it would doubtless destroy it—and as deeply as practicable. The steep mentioned above might be used on this grain also with advantage, not only in hastening the germination, but ia renderigg it unpalatable to crows. This steep tastes no better than it smells, and as soon as they find that out they will quit the field. They are sensible birds ; and here is the of it: A farmer be- ing greatly annoyed by them, soaked corn in spirits, and exposed it where they fre- quented: they ate, got tight and (as a matter of course) made a mighty fuss !|— He renewed his bait, but could never de- ceive them afterwards. A crow never gets drank a second time. The only danger to be apprehended of a failure in the use of Guano is from a drouth; hence the advantage of combin- ing it with such substances as are go absorbraots or that possess strong affinity for water; and hence, too, the propriety of depositing it deeply, as early in the spring as practicable.

Others will readily suggest themselves to your mind, which you can subject to the test of trial. As you and a few others in- tend using this article on the ensuing it js hoped that you will carefully note the particulars, that a nomber of experiments all bearing on one point, may definitely determine the question, whether or not it may be profitably used in this latitude. Yours, truly, JOHN W. LEAK. TO THE AMERICAN PEOPLE. From the great decrease in the contri- butions to the National Monument during the last six months, the Board of Manag. ers of the Monument Association feel it to be their duty to make another appeal to the patriotism of the American Public. They are unwilling to believe that the people of this country, under such deep and last- ing obligations as they are to the founder of their liberties, and feeling they must, a profound sense of gratitude for the inesti- mable services which he rendered to them will suffer a monument commenced in bis honor, and to aid in perpetuating his name to the latest ages of the world, to remain unfinished for the want of the means necessary to complete it. It need scarcely be suggested that a fact like this in the history of our republic would not fail to reflect lasting discredit on the gra- titude and patriotism of its citizens, and prove to the world that republics are too apt to be forgetful of what is due to them- selves and to the memory of those who, under Providence, have made them great, prosperous, and happy. It is often the fate of the most distinguished and illustri- ous to be nearly forgotten after they have mouldered in the tomb for half century. In the busy and ever-changing scenes of the world the stage of life is continuously occupied by those whose acts excite the in- terest of the living, and exclude the me- mory of such as have preceded them, though their reputation may have been more brilliant and their deeds more glo- rious. But it was believed that Wasuine- TON was one to whom the American peo. ple owed the greatest and most lasting debt of gratitude, and to whose memory every honor should be paid by his coun- trymen ; that to honor him was but to honor themselves, and that they were wil- ling and desirous to pay a just tribute to pre-eminent patriotism and to unequalled public and private virtue. Under this impression, a society was established some seventeen years ago, in the city of Wash- ington, for the purpose of erecting a mag- nificent monument to the Father of his Country; and the Board of Managers of that society have, during that long inter- val, made gratuitously every effort in their power, from a pure feeling of patriotism and a desire to honor his memory, to ob- tain the means necessary to accomplish the object of its organization. By un- ceasing and antiring exertion they have succeeded in collecting a sum ee carry up the proposed structure to an ele- Galion af one hundred and five feet above the surface, about the one-fifth of its in- tended elevation; and they now regret to say that, unless the contributions are larg- er and more frequent than they have been for the past six months, it will be impossi- ble to continue the work any turther.— The blocks of stone which have been sent from the different States, associations, dco. to be placed in the monument have done but little to add to its elevation, though they may contribute to its inter- est. That the public may anderstand how expensive soch a structure must necessa- rily be, it may be proper to state that each coarse of two feet in height costs upwards of $2,000, though executed with the strict- est regard to economy. The materials and labor, with a small annual compeo- sation allowed to the superintendent, and a still smaller to the architect, amount to the expenditure which bas been mention- ed; and the Board of Managers are well satisfied that, had the work been under- taken by the Government, it would have cost double the amount of the present cost of the obelisk so far. From two to three courses can be com- a month, which req BS ° field is remote from ry could be riper in a few years ir, be the apathy lation to this noble undertaking that seal that small sam cannot be obtained triotic and glorious a purpose. mount necessary to erect a monument in honor of Charles the Twellth was raised lately by voluotary contributions in two days; while in the Repoblic of the United States, brought into existence by the val- or, perseverance, energy, and patriotism of Washington; in a pollen which now contains @ population of nearly twenty- five millions of souls, enjoying a freedom, independence, and rity nowhere else to be found, one. fifth only of the a- mount one: to complete a monument worthy of the man in whose honor it is how og. erected has, after the most un- ceasing efforts for seventeen years, been contributed. To the people, the army and navy, masonic, odd fellows, and other as- sociations, the colleges, academies, and schools of the United States; banking in- stitutions, city and town corporations, &c., applications urgently requesting pecunia- ty aid have been made by circulars ad- dressed to all, and still the contributions received have been insufficient to raise the monument beyond its present eleva- tion. ‘This is a painful and mortifying fact. It will now become the daty of the different States of the Union to show the interest they feel in this noble undertak- ing, and to evince the estimation and re- spect in which they hold the character and services of Washington by eontribu- ting to the completion of his monament, that the States as well as the people may have the bonor of raising a structure to his memory which will be an imperisha- ble memorial of their veneration and gra- titude.

States are respectfully requested to publish the above, and thus advance the cause, A WARNING VOICE FROM CALIFOR- NIA. We copy from the Boston Journal the subjoined extracts from a private letter, written by a brother in California, in re- ply to a letter asking his advice as to the propriety of another brother’s going out to the gold regions. It was not designed for publication and the Journal says that its statements may be relied upon. It is dated at Bear River on the 27th of Jana- ary. “The principal object of your letter was to ask my advice about brother A’s coming to California. Now, I beseech you, do not think of such a thing for a mo- ment. I will tell you why. In the first place A. isa married man, and has a fam- ily of children to watch over and take care of; and what could he do for them 7? Another reason is, if A. comes out here it will cost him nearly $400, and he will be landed without a dime in a land where every thing is ten times as costly as at home, with tbe only exception of labor, which at the present time is below par.— I will give you a few facts which you can rely upon as truth. The last trip up of the Golden Gate she had on board thirteen hundred and fifty passengers—mostly me- chanics from New York and the State of Maine. A good portion of them imme- diately started forthe mines. When they had got some hundred miles from Sacra- mento they found themselves without a dime in the world. The land was full of them. They coald not go to mining, and if they should they would not make enough to pay for what they eat, puiting aside tools to work with. I have had at least a hundred men offer to work for me for their board, and you can hire as many as you want for from $30 to $50 per month and on that sum no man can live out here when provisions are as bigh as they now are. Every one I have spoken to about A’s coming out here says ‘say to him. stay at home by all means. Do not let him make a fool of himself by coming out here as thousands of others have done.’ He is ten thousand times better off at home with seventy-five cents a day than witb $3 or $4 out here. “ You must not believe all the stories that are written about California. Think over the list of those you know who came to California, and see how many of them have made anything. A great many of them get just money enough to get home and thousands and thousands die here, because they cannot get money to take them home. * Let me tell you how I live out here.

The Boston Medi- cal and Surgical Journal has the’ following on the same subject : “A gentleman of the neighboring city of Charlestown, whose: son wae considered in 9 hopeless state from the diseased condition of the respiratory apparatus, was indaced to adminis: ter Dr. Stone’s medicine. All the of lime procured at the shops appeared to high to be impeériectly prepared—being coarse and otherwise objectionable. A purer article wae prepared especially forthe occasion, reduced to an impalpable powder, and ten grains were administered three times a day, fullowed by a swallow of cod liver oil. No material change was discoverable in the patient for two weeks. Suddenly, as it were, a fixed pain of long stand. ing in the chest then abated; sleep became refreshing, the appetite improved, strength re. turned, and from being moved about the apart. ment reclining on an invalid chair, he is now daily riding, on an average, ten miles on horse- back, facing the wind and breathing the cold with impunity. This is a synopsis of a ease related by a grateful parent, who would be glad to have others, under similar circumstances, make an effort with the pboephate, combined with cod liver oil.” Insolence.—In 2 letter from F. Paliszky (an attache of Kossuth) to the editor ‘ot the New York Tribune, in speaking tothe course pursued by Kossuth, he bas the ia- solence to speak of those American citi- cens who will not consent that this for- eign adventurer shall plunge the United States into war with the Powers of the continent, as “Russo- Austrians” and “Aus- tro-Russians.” This man was brought here at the expense of the country, in a Government vessel ; was entertained with Kossuth at Washington, at an enormous cost to the nation; end now, because the American people will not submit to be dictated to and browbeaten by his leader, they are denounced by him as “ Russo~ Austrians ;” the signification of the thet being that they are false to theircoun- try, and favorable to the pers the continent. A stranger who thus abuses the hospitality which has been kindly ex- tended to him deserves to be forcibly ejected from all respectable American so- ciety.— Baltimore Clipper. . Presidential Quali fications.— Has it come to this at last, that the “ spoils of of- fice” are to be put forth publicly as. the condition of the support of candidates for the soffrages of the people? And yet this seems to be the position taken in N. York in the controversy about the P; nomination. The question is not, “is honest. is be capable ;” but “ whom bas he appointed, whom will he appoint t0 place?” There wasa time, a great while ago, indeed, when a4 rejected dat for office coald nobly exclaim, “1 am hap- py to believe that the country bas mes more capable than | to serve her.” ' has been a time, too, aod that not so Jong ago, when the advocacy of the spoils ciple was held ignominious, and nobod could be found who dared to avow it open ly. And we trust that even now the is not quite come when a candidate for President of the United States shall be se- lected or rejected by either of the ie on account of his past or anticpated refu- sal to appoint to places of profit any do- zen or two of men whatever. lt haga come to this, we haope, at present, thas. man’s qualifications should be je by the ex tions of a few of ers, or holders eitber.

There is.no appellation by which the ocracy of the country delight so mach f6 characterize themselves, as that of pro- tssive. What precise significance they attach to this term, we have never been able clearly to comprehend. From the tinacity with which they adhere to it, OWever, and from their constant assump- tia of it, as something which peculiarly distinguishes them from the Whig party, we sometimes fear that in the understand. fag of those Democrats. who are supposed, in their personal and political character, to be the representaves of this principle, Tt-has an import attached to it, which au- rs badly, should their counsels prevail, the supremacy of the Constitution, and The Stability of our republican institutions. “If they design, in its use, to convey no ay ordi than that which is the natural ordinary meaning of the word, when <apptied to ‘hie ~ t of the country; then with éqoal, if not with much greater iet might the Whig party be denominated the party of progress. Its policy has ev- er. made the development of the rich, and “varied, and abundant resources of our en- . territory, « primary object of patriot. _}0 concern and ‘public effort. It has la—- “bored to that the great lead- ding interests of agriculture, manufactures ree, so from. being rivals,-and : thas antagoniscal to each other, were, if| progress for the country. To have thus promoted these t in- terests would havé been. speedily follow ed by a grand awakening of the individu- al and national mind. noe and art would have received a mighty propulsion. The genius of our would have enabled us to control, for usefol parposes, other agents, powerful as steam and awift as electricity. A civilization might thus have been achieved which in every aspect material, mental and moral, would have greatly surpassed any the world has ever known. . . There is still the true line of national progress. Better secpre wealth, by im— proving those resources. which natare bas made boundless, and which so readily yield to the hand of industry, thao to plan— der it from a less powerful neighbor.— Better exert inflence among nations, by the moral force, consequent upon the ex— ample of a free, prosperous, intelligent and law-abiding people ; whose government while protecting the meanest of citizens from foreign oppression and wrongs, claims no exemption from a just pudish— ment, for its greatest and most renowned; than sim to make ourselves felt a new power on the earth, by protests and by arms. Better stand by those limitations which the fathers of the Repablic pat ap- on the government, for the protection of States and individuals from outrage and tyranny, than inculcate the idea that there is an elasticity and expansiveness in our Federa) Constitution, by which the sanc- tion of its authority may be secured toev- ery act of the majority. Better, infinitely better, progress smoothly and safely, along the channels of the Constitution, thao turn loose the torrents of lawlessness, con- quest and intervention, to tear away all that is consecrated by the experience and traditions of the country. Lynchburg Virginian. From the Wilmington Herald. FATALITY IN BLADEN. A tew days ago the body of a white man was seen in the river at the Big Su gar Loaf: a jury was summoned by Joho G. Sutton, who was appoinied to act as Coroner. The body was taken out and carefully examined ; there was no mark of wounds, except that it was disfigured {rom the prey of birds and fishes. The jury returned a verdict of drowning. The deceased bas since, from identity of clothes, said to be Mr. James Gardner of Harrison Creek. The last the family knew of him was, that he left home on Christmas to go to Lyon’s Landing, (David Lewis, Esqr’s. store.) for ammunition, and was seen by some person, leaving the store and going up the river bank in search of a boat to cross the river: pow der was found in his pocket. How great musi have bee®, and still is, the distress of his family. A Mr. Dougherty left home, Cedar Creek, on board the Chatham to go to Wilmington, last week. A body has been discovered at Walker's Bluff in the river, with its right arm locked around a willow tree. He is missing, and it is believed be stepped off the boat, and that it is the bedy of Mr. Dougherty. A tew nights ago, a woman by the name of ———, came to the house of John Lewis, and went to sleep complain- ing of a pain in the side. Next morning she was seen lying in the field a short way from the house; upon examination it was readily discovered she was dead.— About ten yards from her, concealed in a bole under some rails, apparently arrang- ed, was found an infant dead, with the marks of the fingers and thump of one hand upon its throat... Mr. James Holton baving been appointed to act as Coroner, summoned a jury, who by the aid of the testimony of an expert, were enabled to satisly themselves as to the cause of death, and rendered a verdict of “Infanticide” in the one case, and of “Death from -Laber” in the other. Agricultural Improvement.—There are abundant signs of an awakeved spirit among the farmers and planters of the South on the subjectof agriculture. They see that in the race of competition with other parts of the country they will be left far behind if they continue to pursue the old system of clearing land, wearing it out, and abandoning it. They have be- gun the less laborious and far more pro- fitable system of improving their land, by manure, rotation of crops, &c. And the results are already apparent. Lands are increased in value, because they produce vastly more than they did. The owners, being enriched by increased production and increased value, are content to re. main where they are, and so the tide of emigration is stayed. This is particelarly the case in Edgecombe county, which has iaken the lead in ail these improvements, aod from which, as Jesse H. Powell, Esq. writes to Maj. Charles L. Hinton, not a single instance’ is remembered of any per- sons having removed for two years past. We all. know, in this part of the Strate, what gangs of emigrants used to to the South West from that county. In this same fetier, Mr. Powell states, that a great deal of land, formerly. quite poor, is now producing 1200 ibs. of seed cotton to the acre, and one planter has averaged over hysical, social, and civil | a bale of 400 Ibs. to the acre, in a crop of 70 bales. The materials used are swamp mud, fence scrapings, ditch bank, ashes, stable manure, and cotton seed. He gives the results on the plantation of D, W. Bal- lock, who, with 18 to 20 heads, of which only 3 were men, made 50 bags of cotion in. 1849, 61 in 1850, and 98 in 185). In _ two years alinost dou | | We copy a letter tron Sohn We Leak, Esq. (a planter well known tomany ol our readers.) on the subject of Guano, Fayetteville Observer. ‘at the pr halls « tion, than all their pledges of refor this important matter, are mos! unaccoun: tably benished from their recollections. — Our attention has been led to this sobgeet, present, from reading an article in the last number of the North American, which asserts that the cost of the present session of Congress up to this time. for the pay of members and the ordinary ex- incident to the two Houses, is fully If a million of dollars. This large sum bas been literally squandered in’ unpro- fitable discussion. without even the sem- blance of consideration of the great nation al interests, Even to this day. the Presi- dent's Message and the Reports have not been referred to the appropriate commit- tees. Power of Imagination.—A year since Elijah Baros, of Pennsylvania, killed e rattlestiake in bis field. without any inja- ry fo himself, and immediately after put on his son's waistcoat, both being of one color. He returned to his house, and on attempting to batton his waistcoat, he found to bis astonishment that it was much too small. His imagination was now wrought to a high pitch, and he instantly conceived the idea that be had heen im perceptibly bitten by the snake, and was thus swollen from its poison, He grew suddenly very ill, and took to his bed.— The family, in great alarm and confusion summoned three physicians, and the usu al remedies were prescribed and admin istered. The patient, however, grew worse every minate, until at length his son came bome with his father’s waistcoat dangling about him, The mystery was soon unfolded, and the patient being re- lieved from bis imaginary apprehensions, dismissed his physicians, and was restor- ed to bealth. Judicial Discretion.—The following in- cident is related in a very well written and interesting Biographical sketch of our distinguished Townsman Judge Strange. prepared for and published in the March Number of Livingston’s Law Magazine: — Fayetteville Observer. On one occasion, a young man Was in- dicted and tried hefore him for an aggra- vated assault. But he was young; had acted violently to avenge the real, or sup- posed, wrongs of a father ; and there was that in his countenance and demeanor that marked a spirit that imprisonment might render desperate, but could never quell. The Judge felt the responsibility of his position; that he might now, by a single, act. fix the future destiny of no or- dinary man. He was anxious to main- tain the sanctity of the law, and yet save, if possible, its victim from ruin. After some hesitation, he declined to imprison, but imposed a considerable pecuniary fine, gave the youth some good advice, and dismissed him. That man has since been a prominent member of the United States’ Senate from one of the other States. A Brave Boy.—A boy in New Jersey. at various times, saved four lives before he was ten years old. When a little over eight years old, he saw his younger broth- er break through-the ice where the wa. ter was four feet deep. He had to run twelve or fifteen yards to reach the pond; and remembering having heard his moth- er read from one of Peter Parley’s clever books, of a person saving another's life, when the ice was not strong enough for him to walk upon it, by ereeping. be lay down on the ice crept to the bole where bis brother had broken through, reached into the water, and pulled him out by the hair, afterhe had sunk the third time.— Creeping backward he drew the rescued sufferer to the shore. After this he saved the lives of three boys at the same pond ; and in one of these instances showed as much coolness and presence of mind as any grown person could. Seeing the ice was too thin to bear bim, he tried to bor- row a sled ‘of a boy who stood near by. who refused it ; but pushing the boy over he seized the sled, and shoved it to the sinking lad, who cagght hold of it, and he-holding on by the string. palled him to the shore. We have. only to add, that this clever child was as good as: he was manly and breve. Singular Phenomenon.— At about 12 o’clock on Sunday night, 21st alt. a phe- nomenon truly striking and extraordinary occurred here. It was the circumstance of the falling of a really copious rain, for the space of from seven to ten minotes, from a perfectly cloudless, baziless, and starlit sky. So plentiful was the shower that the sidewalks ran with water, which ad th@ingular effect upon the mind of appearing to come without a cause. ring the shower twostreaks of fleecy clouds displayed themselves’ in the north and south, but far distant from eachrother, and neither of an latitude above the horizon exceeding twenty degrees. The position of these clouds forbid that the rain could have fallen from either’of them. We make no effect to explain ‘this strange phenomenon, satisfying ourselves witha bare but faithful statement of it— Nat. Intelligencer.

Four months has Congress been in session. aud what bas it done with the vast amount of public business—necessary for the puvlic good —which it bas before is? + Literally aothing. And who is blameable for this shameless org lect? ‘The Luoeo Fuco Party has an over. whelming majority in both branches of Con gress, and a large portion of the session bas been spent in most disgraceful wrangles, be tween the leaders of that party, about the claims of their respective favorites for the Presidency. The adherenis of Cass, Butler, Buchanan and Douglas, are well aware that they have the power to despatch the public business, but in stead of this, they have foreed every thing. cow nected with the legislation of the Country, to give place to President making! ‘The people are beginning to open tneir eyes to such erim. inal neglect of public duty on the part of Con. gress, and they will hold to a strict account both the young and old “ fogies” who are thus wasting the public money for party purposes.

The members to the Legislature are gen- erally strict partizans, and from habit view every question that comes before them in reference to their effect on parties; and there are many other reasons for ob- jecting to Legislative amendments, which we do not consider it worth while to advert to al present. One other, however, is that a Convention will settle all questions at once ; and thus put an end to agitations on questions of this nature, and deprive demagogues of electioneering themes,— We are not surprised that a democratic journal, like the Carolinian, in view of the success of David S. Reid in the last can- vass, should oppose a measure which threatens to remove the hobbies of his party candidates.

Keider, whodelivered an anniversary address,entertain. ing the audience for twenty minutes with a most happy and affective speech. Afier whieh, the Rey. A. C, Allen was introduced and delivered eloquent and touching appeals to the hearis of bis delighted auditors, which we trust toa great extent had the desired effect in kindling the flame of Temperance in many a sad des. ponding heart. Afier which Hugh M. Stokes Esq., was introduced, who commenced in his usual mild way, gradually stealing away from the hearts of bis auditors, that rancor and hatred they bore to our Order, and instilled into their minds the great principles upon which we rest. We dislike the babit of high wrought adulation upon orators of every character, but we feel sure we express the sentiments of those who heard the three temperance speeches on Thursday the lth inst., when we eay that they acquitied themselves in a manner giving the highest sat. isfaction to the most of them who heard them. But that some would object to their wholesome truths and bold denunciations of evil, and wrong, was of course to have been looked for, and it there is any such we have only to say it ie noth. ing more than could be expected from them, well knowing that the temperance flame. has never been kindled in their benighted minds, and that they are still bound by the vender’s chain. After speaking there was an opportunity giv. en for any one wishing to join our Order, when two gentlemen stepped forward and gave their names, and after casting about a little, we ob. tained the names of two more venerable old gentlemen. We then repaired to the Division room end initiated four, and then adjourned, to meet in the Division room at early candle-light; but the good effects of the exercises of the day were such, and with the assistance of some of the most zealous Sons. that when we met at night, there was (we are happy to say) eleven more new names proposed of which nine were ini- tiated, and heartily engaged in the torch-light procession. We marched in double file to the > Roads, east of the jail, and thence back the South Street to the Public Square, and there formed the Temperance Ball ; afier which, we marched into the Court House, where we were welcomed again by at least by two or three hundred persons. There were many ladies in attendance, of the fairest and most beautiful of God's creation, welcoming us on to the glori- ous task of man’s :edemption from the dominion of king alcohol, with their smiles and kind ap- probations. God grant that not one of them should ever feel by sad experience the effects of that cruel despot. We were again enter- tained, first, by Hugh M. Stokes, Esq ; second. ly, by the Rev. A. C, Allen ; thirdly by the Rev. Mr. Hopkin, ftom Catawba county, in a most gratifying and heart cheering, manner to the Sons, and we trust to al. gpeie believe that there was Temperance s€®d sown on shat occasion, that will be the cause of joy to many a heart in coming time. And in conclusion, we believe that it was one of the most pleas. ant celebrations that we ever experienced.— Hold up your heads, ye friends of ‘Temperance. The Temperance trumpet is calling us to bat. tle and victory over the enemy of all mankind. Never mind the foes’ vain ratile ; the dark mist uf intemperance is fast receding. Ob; may the happy day soon come when our beloved land and country shall be redeemed and made free. Weare in good spirits. Taylorsville Division numbers something like one hundred, and they are still coming. We expect to ini- tiate some four or five at our next meeting.— We have the good of mankind at heart.

The Fairmount Banner announces the murder of six men and one woman, who were emigrating westward, at a house where they had stopped to spend the night in Dodridge county, Va., on the night of the 17th instant. The horrible miscreants who committed this wholesale murder are supposed to have stolen $22,000 from the party murdered. The names of the vic- tims are not ascertained. The murderers left Clarksburg on the morning of the 17th, and the same night stopped at a house at West Union, where the murdered party had also put up. During the night they rose and indiscriminately massacred every single inmate, robbed them of their all, and escaped, The same party, it is be- lieved. rescused John Owens from the jail at Clarksburg on the Sunday night pre- ceding, who was charged. with having set fire to several buildings in that town io November last. It has been suggested that a national vessel be sent to bring back those persons who have been the victims of swindling agents for California steam ship compa- nies, and who are now in a state of utter destitution on the Isthmus, without means to proceed either on their journey or to return home.

A taint gleam of hope partially revived the dark and sombre cloud of her misery ; but it was like hoping against hope. for she had but litle doubt that he had at last fallen into some snare uf the tories, to whom she knew bim to be particularly obnoxious ; and when once in their hands she knew that torture and death awaited him. ‘ In the meanwhile Hunter was suffering much mental angoish, not on his own account but fer Margaret; for Fannon persecuted him daily, almost hourly, with every species of sto ties — telling bim that Kensey was on a vis- it to. Mr. Hanselt and would bring Margaret back with bim—that she should see him bung, &ec. &e. Fannon did, indeed, design making the at- tempt through Kensey, of getting Margaret in his power; but Kensey convinced him of the danger of attempting any such scheme, and the almost inevitable failure of it In the first place, he feared detection, should he again vis it Salisbury, as some suspicion might rest upon him from his having enquired so minutely into Hunter’s business, mode of life, &c. In the second place those to whom he had promised to deliver wheat might have made some enqui- ries about bim and discovered tha! there was no such person ashe bad represented bimse!f; and in the third place he knew that it would be useless to endeavor to entice Margaret away oa pretense of a visit to bis jamily, or any such thing, which was the only plan tbat could be a. dupted, because grief for the loss of her betroth ed would prevent ber from indulging iu any a- @usemenis or recreations. » "Bime rolled on and soon brought round the day which bad been appointed lor the marriage of Bunter and his betrothed, but which Fan- non had set apart for the death of the former. * You shall not be hung like a dog, Mr. Hun ter,” had frequently been the words of Fannon (0 his intended victim. “| will not swing you to the limb of a tree as I do those of less note than yourself. 1 will have no botch work about it; but as a mark of my consideration and ap- preciation of your distinguished life, every thing shall be performed according to the most scien tific principles of civilization, Yes, you shall have a decent gallows, fourteen feet high, with a platform four feet bigh, giving you ten feet the gallows beam to the buitom of your i E will give you a long rope that you need novéomplain of being confined to narrow lim. ite.” As another. mark of especial favor your hands ehall not be fied—ibat will do for the vul- gar cfuwd, but fur so distinguished a persunage as yourself it wil be highly improper and inde- corous, | not thiak vf putting such av you. indignity The purpose of Fannon in having the gallows thuearranged, and in leaving tbe hands vt the victim unbound, was io lengihen his tor ment; thinking that he would grasp the rope and prolong bis sufferings by endeavoring to eupport bis Weight with bisarms. ‘The gallows Wat make high that he might not be able to éliaib the rope to the beam.

SomerviLe'’s Chase. So sudden was the movement of Hu.ter, so instantaneous the spring of the nuble mare, and su swift ber speed, that she was thirty yards from the group of tories before a rifle could be leveled at him, “Shvot bigh !—shoot high!’’ cried Fannon, even tben mindful for the salety of his ** Red Due.” ~ Hunter was already leaning forward, and asthe shout of Fannon reached his ears he bowed still lower, lying almost flat upon bis charger’s neck. The halls whistled thickly over bim, but on be flew, uuharmed. When mure than a bun dred yards trom bis enemies be slighily raised bimeell to look back, when a ball struck his lefi shoulder, Iracturing the bone, and disabling bisarm. A sickening sensation caine over bim bis head grew dizzy, his sight dim, aad he reeled in his eaddie ; but a strong mental effurt, aided by the Iresh breeze through which he was su swiftly skimming, enabled him to retain his seyt, and soup restored to bim bis strength. * He is wounded—iv horse and overtake him,” shouted Fannvn furiously, In a moment forty men were mounted and speeding away, under whip aod spur, in pursuit of the flying Hdater. Fannow seized the fret horse he came to and juined in the chase. “Ten Thousand puunds four bis lile and for my mare,” be cried; and on rushed the eager crowd, Hunter was in this time nearly a quarter of a mile ahead of his pursuers, urging vu his no. bie animal by bis voice aluae. He had sv fre. quently beard Fannen talk to her that be kuew what words to uve, and she obeyed him as though he were ber masier. A huge hill rose before him, but he as. cended it at lull speed—~iben down a deep ra. vine, again over anpther hiil, the forest trees waving over bim and the wind roaring in bis eurs; still bis foes came thundering on, now lusing sighi of him, now regaining it as he ap. peared upyn the tup of sume eminence in the distance, He was aiming to reach the State road that led to Salisbury, life aud happiness belure him—inevitable death bebind bim.— Should bis gallant steed make but one false step his lite would be the forte. His lett arm bung helpless at bis side, the blood trickling freely down; but he held the reins firaly with bis right band, and encouraged his mare with his vice, The State road was at length reached, and he touk the way to Salisbury, Glancing back from time to time, he could see bis pursuers still hastening afier bim, and cuuld hear their shouts and curses indistiact!y borne to his ears. He bad huped that when he reached the road the tories would lear to pursue bim further, but Fan- Dug was tov eager to regain bis mare to hesi- tale to rivk his life, and the lives of bis follow. ers for that purpuse, _| Heater’s ercitemem prevented him from feel. ing say pain from his wouad, but he began, at length, to feel weak from joss of blood, Miles had been passed over, and now the Yadkin riv- er appears in view. The ford is deep and rucky but he hurries duwn the hill, and glmost com pletely exhausted, plunges in. The friendly water partially restores him, and checks the protuse flow of blood trom bis wounds, The river, at this point, wae about three hon- dred sards wide, aud by the time Hunter reach- ed the middle of the stream, Fannvn aad his mea were upun the bank. -da they plunged, shouting aud corsing. rr .

A volly of Qalis was buried at horse and rider, but they spend their force upon the va- caut air, A yell of disappointed wrath burst from the throat of Fanoun, and was responded tu by bis lulowers with loud and repeated curses. was like music to Hunter's ears, aad be turned in bis saddie und shouted * Huge!” with ali the strength of bis lungs. “My avble mare!” exclaimed Fangun ;~ * | must aod will have her.” But their horses were wore out with fatigoe. aud cuuld scarcely strike a loap, alter @inerg- ing from the river; and ater proceeding about a mile farther the tries came to a halt, with panting and trembling steeds. Fannvn was livid wih rage, and bis toice was so chuked that he could scarcely speak. He could huve borne the disappointment of his baffled revenge upon Hunter ; but to luve bis mare. bis pride, the only ubject in either earh or Heaven that he loved, affected him even to tears. Alter a few moments of doubt and irresolu. tiva he abandoned the chase, and reluctantly gave (he command to retreat; aud with jaded bursés and maddeurd hearts the turies com- menced slowly retracing their steps. As soon as Hunter perceived that the chase was given over he slackeued hie pace ; for his gallant mare was perceptibly beginning to fail ; but he keew that the borses of his porsuers would be unable to stand when she yave oul, and therefore felt nu fear of being out winded. His first thought was that be would stop at the first huuse he reached, atieod tu his wound, and refresh himself and mare ; but on reflec. tion he determined not to balt until he reached bhume, Fanvon might rest a while and then renew the chase, thinking to come up with bin al some house. He feit that there was no cer. tain salety for him if he stupped short of Salis- bury. The sun went down and darkness gradually gatbered over the face of the heavens. Hunter was weak and teverish ; aud his mind vecame disordered, restless, and paiafully apprehensive. Every nvise startled bim—even the rusiling of a teal seemed fraught with danger. Every rock, every stuinp, was transformed into eve- mies threaleniog .bim with death. He knew tbat it was but fancy—the effect of a nervous and disarranged imagination ; but still he was unable to banish it, and again he urged bis gal. lant mare toa full gallop, nor stopped until he reached Salisbury, where be arrived at ten o’. clock, having ridden gitty miles in ten hours, with bisletiarm hanging useless ai his side. A light was still burning in bis mother’s cot. tage. He'rode up tothe gate and altempied to alight, but fainted aud felltotheeanh. But the sound of his horse’s bools bad been beard by Mrs. Hunter, who called up a servant, procured a light, and went out and found bim just as con- sciuusness Was returning. * Mother!” said he in a feeble, but well known voice. In an instant he was clasped in that mother’s arms; and rising and leaning upon ber be was able to reach the house. The seene that ensued is, no doubt, even now resting in the imagination of the reader; and 4s any allempt on our part to portray it in Words would but serve to mar the picture, dimming the vivid colorings of fancy, we wil) nut mulest it. The lust was found, and he that had been mourned as dead was alive; and ii wae meet that there should be joy in the hearts uf these whu had grieved. CONCLUSION. Hunter was confined to his bed for several days, but the tender care and affection of a de- vied mother, of loving sisters, aud a betrothed bride, made even bis pains sweet. He was ithe hero of the town for somethiug more thau nine days, and was compelled tu tell the story of his adventures over and over until it grew iskksome to bim, But a short time elasped before Hunter and Murgaret were marrié¢d, and their suvsequent lile proved prosperous and bappy. The » Red Due” became the favorite of both her master and mistress, and Was cherished throug life with the utmost care and attention; never being subjected to any thing worse than bearing that master or mistress upun her will- ing hack. The further career of Fannon, and bis uiti mate fate, may herealter claim the atleptiva of our pen. The Lowell Courier was presented late- ly for libel on Benjaman Franklia Butler. he two counts in the indictment were: 1. That said Butler was charged with be ing a notorivus demagogue and political scoundrel. 2. That baving swallowed three or four extra glasses of liquor, be spread himself, (speaking.) And bore a striking resemblange to a se ape. The defendant pleaded guilty, and put himself on justification. The jury tound for the defendant on the first count, i. e., that Batler was a dema- gogue and scoundre|—and against deien- dant on the last, i. ¢., that B. was not like a Bornese ape. The case appears to have created great interest in Lowell, and the highest ability of the Court aad the Bar was expended upon it.

I “spring had fifty three new kinds of pes sent me, and most of them are owing, and some of them bore fruit.— ar them, the Lincoln grape, from ‘arth Carolina, the home of our Catawba wd Isabella grape. The Lincoln is high- . "alued as a table grape.

Its hardy character nd ¥ growth would prove it a na- tive. Yet the wood bears no resemblance to the wood of any of our native grapes, or indeed, of any foreign grape vine that Ihave seen, It is of very superior quali- ty, both asa table and wine grape. It came to us from South Carolina. Has no person there seen it in a wild state? The wine has the peculiar flavor of the Man- sinaella sherry, and 1 deem it a better wine when made with care. They pro. fess south, to have some evidence of its being a foreign grape. If they can give its foriegn name and locality, I will im- port to test the question. I have tested. for thirty five years, a great number of foreign vines, from the northern, southern, and middle parts of Europe, yet never found one suited to our climate. Our frost grapes are of no value, nor can one Fox grape vine in 100, be found of any value for the table or for wine. The Fox can always be distinguished from all others— skin generally thick, pulp hard, and it is rare to meet a vine that the fruit does nat fall to the ground as fast as it ripens ; generally not a prolific bearer ; stem more or less hairy; pulp, acid; yield but little must, and very little sugar. The frait has a fine aroma and flavor, and is the only grape I baveseen whose odor reaches you at the distance of twenty or thirty feet. They are to be found of different colors, A very superior one may be val- uable to mix a small portion with grapes deficient in aroma and flavor. Minors seedling Fox is of value for this purpose, and one tenth added to the Isabella makes it a delicious wine. It is alsoa fair table grape, and worthy of cultivation. No grape.is of value for wine that does not bear well, and yield abundant juice. The sweetness of the grape is no evidence of its sacarine quality. The Virginia erab- apple is so sour as to make a pig squeal, yet it abounds jn sugar. Among my new grafted vines, some promise to be of fine quality. Seedlings should be raised from our best varieties. ] have a few thousand and shall increase them yearly. Catawba seedlings show a disposition to go back to the parent. Seedlings should be cover- ed the first winter. A late instance would seem to prove that vines from foreign seed may become more hardy than the parent, It is worth a trial. can next spring speak with morecertainty. Ishal! be much obliged by any person who will send me cuttings of any new, valuable, hardy grape, that bears well. Where there is an express line it is the least trouble to the person, and the ex- pense is no object with a Jerseyman.— They should be packed in soil or moss ; the latter I would prefer. To guard against miscarriage, | should be pleased to have a few grafis sent by mail, packed hetween damp newspapers, and if a long distance, a little damp. green moss round the grafts, would be desirable. One eye to a grait is enough; solid wood of last season’s growth; graft cut three-fourths of an inch above. and two and a half inch- es below the eye. Isbal] name the grape after the person from whom I received it, if he consents, unless he furnishes a name. Mr. Downing remarks, in his last number of the Horticulturist, that none of our na- tive grapes have soft pulps. I have one grape ofa different character. It was sent me from Union Village, Ohio, and found in the centre of a vineyard—its ori- gin unknown, yet clearly a native grape. From present experience, I should say the fruit and bunches are as large as the Black Hamburg—skin as thin, pulp as soft, grape as juicy; but its flavor is not very fine. J] have 800 seedlings from it, which out grow all others, and from them I hope to have one or more to bear fruit of fine aroma and flavor. Should I sue- ceed, we shall have no cause to regret the tender character of the Black Ham- ble grapes to be lost, or neglected to in- crease them. Thirty-five years since, | heard of a superior foreign grape, said to be hardy, in the garden of a Mr. Clappier, in the then city of Brotherly Love, (Phila- delphia,) now the city of riots. Last spring, grafts of this grape were sent me, and | was informed that there were but two vines in the U. States. The person assured me that he has seen the vine in the open ground, bearing bunches that weighed eight pounds. |] shall have it bear the present season. Last winter we had colder weather and of eet pee vance than I have ever known in our State. Warm weather in the fall brooght forward the main buds, and though | can get but few vine-dressers to believe it, I I believe nineteen out of arene. of all oe inent bads, in warm ions killed. Providence has furnished side buds to supply the loss. How far they willdo it, we bave yet to learn. In ee when in bloom, or about that period, the lead- ing shoots are sometimes killed by late frost. It has always greatly lessened the crop and the growth of the dormant eyes. Where the main bud is killed in the win- ter, I deem the injury to the crop and new wood will be less.

RECORD OF “OLDEN TIMES.” The spirit of Mecklenburg in 1775. has been recorded, and will stand, to the end of time, as a proud memorial of the gal- lantry and spirit of her sons in days of peril. The following, discovered among a mass of old papers, proves that the spirit was not extinet in our second war for liberty with the same powerful nation. It is wor- thy of preservation. The names of the signers are we}l known in Mecklenburg. The paper is on file in the archives at Raleigh, and may be found in Niles’ Reg- ister, HI] vol. 268: “ Chorlotte, Mecklenburg County, 24th Nov. 1812. “ The unexpected perseverance of our en- emy and the late misfortunes of the Van- guard in the North West, have inspired our veteran fathers in this eounty ; they number four hundred men in this county, whose second ardor rises in proportion to the pressure upon our beloved country, and the government established by their valour. Of these patriotic old men, six compa- nies have been formed, under James Por. ter, John Harris. John Secrest, S. Harris. and Joseph Faires, who appeared this day in Charlotte, with their men on muster. They organized themselves into a Regi- ment called 'Su.ver Locks,’ and proceeded to elect their officers. * James Porter was elected Colonel, and William Hatchinson and John Foster, Ma- jors. “ The following is the letter of the Col- onel, tendering their services to the Gov- ernor of the State. Charlotte, 25 Nov., 1812. Siz :. By unanimous resolution, on yes- terday, of the patriotic fathers of Meck- lenborg county, it becomes my duty to present to you a tender of their services in defence of our much injured and insul- ted country, to any part of the State where you may deem it expedient, or when or wheresoever their services may be neces- sary in avenging the wrongs persisted in by our enemy. Party spirit. in politics, with these my fellow soldiers, is enveloped by the cloud of injuries and injustice pressed upon us by our proud, unplacable and declared enemies. Our hopes of accommodation are nearly at an end; and we do not feel in a tem- per of mine any longer to indulge them. I am your Obedient Servant, JAMES PORTER, Colonel. YET ANOTHER -OLD ROWAN FOREVER! From Niles’ “Weekly Register,” II vol 392. “A grave, grey-headed company of ve- terans has just been formed in Rowan county, North Carolina, of citizens over 45, and under 80 years of age, This a? band will consist of not less than fifty members. They have elected Natsan Dovee their Captain, The following are their articles of as- sociation : “ ArticLes of a Company called “Silver Locks, of Rowan.” We, the undersigned, soldiers, having many of us fought for liberty in the Revo- lution, and from advanced age exempt from the same hardships, yet our bosoms swell with indignation, when we hear of our honor and independence being insal.- ted by foreign enemies, who have not on- ly begon the awful work of death them- selves, but encouraged the savages to spill the blood of our innocent brethren on the frontier, regarding neither sex nor age. oWe, therefore, are willing to aid our be- loved country in exerting our influence, by making short excursions in this upper country, in opposing the enemy, or sup- pressing the influence of ill designing men, as far gs may be justified by the laws of our country. As we are now ina state of war, we wish for all persons to be anited in sup- porting our Independence and Repablican institutions. We therefore, mutually bind ourse)ves to abide the decisions of the officers who shall be elected by our company, and be ready, at a moment’s warning, in all ex- peditions, either by day or night, during war.

Hines, who on more than one occa. sion has in times gone by figured in our Courts asa crimioal, became yesterday at. inmate of our jail under the following circumstances, Some twelve years siece having beea con. victed in Louisians of forgery, he was sentenced to fourteen years imprisonment in the Peniten. tiary at Baton Rouge, where he remained un- til very recently, when the executive of that State, in consequence of his good beharjour whilst in prison, remitted the unexpired term of his sentence, which was about two years.— Upon being discharged, New Orleans had the honor of his distinguished company, where his fertile invention and great adroitness soon plac. ed him in possession of funds sufficient to make a display. How many, and whom he may have ewindled to acquire these means, we know not, as doubtless in many cases the victims ra- ther than acknowledge their verdancy were content lo put up with their loss. Not so, how- ever, in the ingiance of Mr. Word, a Texan gentleman, who at the time of Hines’ career was sojourning al the Verandah Hotel in that cily, and upon whom Hines called, represent- ing himself to be Col. A. Floyd, a brother of Governor Floyd, of Virginia, and having form- ed an acquainiance with him, succeeded at dif- ferent times in obtaining some eight hundred dollars from him by means of deeds, bonds, &e., which have since been ascertained tw be adroit forgeries. Mr. Word having discovered that he had been done and that Hines was non est, determined at any cost to bring the swind- ler to justice, and started in purauit.. After tracing bim to various places in the West, be got fairly on bis trail at New York, in which city the ci-devant Col. J. P. Floyd had become quite a lion with the Upper.Ten, dining with, and, in turn entertaining Jobn Van Buren, Henry Weston, and others. But by some strange fatality Mr. Word missed bis man, and again had to keep on the move, He however, struck upon the right trail, and pursued Hines through Richmond, where full proofs of bis ras- cality were déveloped, to this city, at which he arrived yesterday week uncouscious of being pursued. He took lodgings at first at one of our most fashionable Hotels, but subsequently removed to a private boarding house in Queen sireet.— He seems, from the moment of his arrival, to have been busily engaged in his profession of obtaining money under false pretenses, and we learn that on one occagion he called on a gen. | tleman, representing himself io be a Louisiana Planter, and stating that having lost his pocket book he required a loan of two thousand dol. lars, for which be offered a cullatera! seeurity in bonde and mortgages on property in Vir- inia. : . The geuileman applied to, however, politely declined having anything to do with the matter, and Hines had to depart and cogitate on whom else he might endeavor to devour, but ,unfor. tunately bis ecogitations were rather abruptly interrupted yesterday morning by his meeting at last with bis indefatigable pursuer, Mr. Word, in King street. He tried to eecape, but alter running some considerable distance he was overtaken, and although he made a most deter- mined resistance, captured hy Lieut. Symes and taken tothe Upper Guard ecoe: So much baving been accomplished a bail wri: was lodg- ed with the Sheriff of this District at the suit of Word, who in company with George Dusenber. ry, who bad been created a special Deputy for this occasion, proceeded to the Upper Guard House, took him into custody on the civil suit, and conveyed him to jail, where he was recog. nized by the Jailor as the same individual who bad called on hima few days previously, and represented himself as Inspector of Jails, stet- he had received that inimeat from the President of Doited States, Dusenberry, at the request of Hines, then proceeded to bis boarding house in Queen street, with an order from him, signed Jobnson, for the delivery of his baggage, and the money to pay for six days board. Mr. Word now naturally concluded that bis victimizer was hors de combat, and that it was now out of bis power to do further mischief—tor the present, at all events ; but be was mistaken, as strange to say, be himself was again made the victim of this arrant deceiver’s machinations, rest, upos with havin to kill, effect bis release, aod weundersiand srobability he will be discharged on course of this morning. —Char. the from whom I obtained them.

His person was searched and nearly one hundred dollars found, besides jew- elry of about the same value.

It is an eight day clock, and has three dials—one of six feet diameter in front of the edifice over a hundred feet from the ground ; another of the same size in the rear; and a third of small size in the interior—all moved by the same machia- ery. The large dials are of transparent glass, the figures and the hands being painted white ; and at the back of the glass is a cloth of black ‘velvet, making the susface of the dials to ap. pear black. These dials are lighted at night by gas burners, which, by an ingenious ar. rangement of the clockwork itself, are extin- guished daily at a change of time conforming to the length of the night. The clock occu- pies but a small epace ; strikes the hours on a deep.tened bell; and the quarters of an hoor on two emaller bells; and is furnished with a regular compensation pendeium, and, besides ita regular weight acting solely on the escape. ment, which together reader it an almost in. fallible time piece. , It appears, from a long account in the Cleveland Herald, that the officers traced Crist who committed the murder in Mo- bile, to the house of Judge Logenheel, where Mrs. Crist, the judge's daughter, was residing. and there arrested bim.— The Court of Common Pleas being in ses- sion, and Judge Lugenbeel serving upon the jury, in the midst of an argoment, Mrs. Crist, rushed into court, forced her way to her father. and falling upon ber knees, informed bim of the arrest of ber husband. The scene was one of intense interest. The judge was of course ex- cased. : Crist is in jail awaiting the arrival of a requisition from Alabama. — It is said that Crist is laboring. ander em- | Barrassments. and that he has to pay con- siderable sums of money on the Ist of April. This. and the suppositica that Nye had $10,000 in his possession, are the most probable motives for the murder. : passage | explained accident Mons. M. received the 8? pon the is let down, Mons.

Joe has been partially found; his body was picked up, the legs, artis and part of the skoll being blown off and the body terribly burnt and shrivelled up. — Southard.was alive at 4 o'clock intheaf- ternoon. His ribs on one side are nearly all broken, and it is not probable that be can recover. The boat in which those men were was shivered into the smallest frag- ments; not a piece as lafge as a walk cane could be found. It is thopght that there were three canisters of powderon | board, but whether they were all explod- ed or not we cannot ascertain. Inthe other boat was Mons. Maillefert and his brother-in law.

As exemplified by the Proceedings in the Coun. cil, and other incidents in the cily of Charles- ton, South Carolina. The proceedings of the Council of the city of Charlesion, on the subject of Mr. Leahey’s Lectures are interesting as developing a state of feeling hostile to the liberties of the People, We are not ansiovs about Mr. Leahey—nor solicitous about religious opinion. We do not attend to this maticr as a Pretestant but gs a citizen, zealous far the purity of republican prin. ciples, and jealous of the encroachments of any power hostile to freedom. * We give as moch of the Proceedings in Coun. cil as wa can find space for, a8 reported by Dr. John Bellinger, a Catholic gentlemen of high character, and one of the Council. The re- port is pyplished in the Courier of the 32Gb March, - »« The Magor stated to Council that ane of the proprietors of the American Hotel had applied to know $f the Corporation would be responsi. ble foc any damages to the property, in case Rev. Mr. Leahey were allowed to lecture in that bel; that the parties were present and with the permission of the Council, Mr. Leahey would declare his object and wishes. As is customary in like instances, leave was express. ed for bis doing so. Whereupon he spoke as follows ; . Me. Mayor and Gentlemen: Laman Amer. ican citizen and a minister of the gospei; and desire to have that liberty of speech which, in both relations, 1 am entitled to claim, | come among you, bearing the recommendations of numerous Protestant clergymen-—Episcopalian, Presbyterian, Methodist, Dutch, Reformed, dc. and propose to do only what has heen aliow 2d me in other cities. [| trust that no obstruc. tion will be opened to this course, which is merely to exercise that freedom of speech ewhich the Consijtution and cusioms of ous coun- try guarantee to every citizen. Immediately on resuming his seat Alderman Gilfiland remarked that he hoped the gentleman would be allowed to proceed. That, for him- self, he apprehended no disturbance, in canse. quence of his lectgring. ‘That it was very ch ne: power of the Catholic Clergy to rastepin "ahY outbreak on the part of their people ; and that even if riot did ensue, he was clearly jn favor of the right of any citizen to preach or lecture, let the consequences be what they might. But he repeated bis belief that no valid objection could be taken to this proceeding. and that no violence would ensue. [ht rested with othe Catholic Clergy to prevent it. Alderman Drummond followed up the dis- Cussion in these words} _ The Reverend gentleman present, Dr. Leahey _Lhave never seen belore, and know nothing of him or hie lectures, The Reverend Bishop Joba England arrived in this city about thirty. ‘three years ago, and delivered a enurse of lec. ures, weekly, for some time, to prove the scrip tase to be a divine revelation from God, which Batended. His discouree on the resurrection “ot Josue Christ was equal to any on that eub- ject. I have ever heard ; and could he urise out of bie grave, I would go and hear him deliver tagain. His remarks against the Protestant Churches in this city were very severe, but he ‘ ze ably answered by the Rev. Joho Bachman, wD D.. At the same time the Rev. Joseph Gal. lachat, who was educated to be a Roman Cath olic Priest, and then a Clerk inthe U. S. Bank, »wlen replied, and, | think, with success. Al that time there was no riot nor disturbance of “the public peace, and why shuuld it be so now.” ~~ Ywreply to remarks of several of the Alder. men, Alderman Drummond subsequently add. -~“ Ehave heard nothing said why the Rev. * gentleman should not be heard at any place or Hall he may get, and that the Rev. Bishop J. “A. Reynolds, or the Rev. P. N. Lynch, D. D., should pot be heard in reply, if they think fit or eproper soto do. [remark further, that should *the Roman Catholic Churches in this City, be atiacked by a mob. | would be there to defend them to worship God according to the dictates Mt theie conscience.” On thie, the Mayor remarked that he fels gbbved Jo express to Council his belief that seri. ban distarbance would arise, if Mr. Leahey lectured as he proposed to do. That he was (mognizant of the exisience of great excitement non the pert of the citizens. And he proceeded pn relate what had taken place in reapect to the Masonic Hall, and reported to the Council the emprasures taken by his on that occasion, to present a public breach. “8 Mr. Leabey here interposed with the remark, “that trwae untrir to judge of bis lectures be. pete bearing them. No one knew what he in. ve tented to say, and he protested against their being prejudged. ‘© "Phe Mayor rejoined that we could conclude whit woald probably be the character of the Weturey from the terms of Mc L's advertisement, Twghat the Rev. gentleman had probibited fe. —tweles and-yeuths from atiending ; and promised he inferred that the topics to he brought forward that the opinion of the City Attorney wav tothe same effect. Alderman Gilliland again expressed himself as favorable to the unrestricted right of speech. No denominations should shrink fram having its ductrine tested. As a member of the Presby- terian Church be was willing for ite tenetsto be discussed, and saw.no reason why any oh. er should object to a like ane Z 1 any cannot bear the light let it he exposed. . Alderman Hacker said that he deemed it the duty of each Alderman tu express hie sentiments freely on this occasion.” “Phat be looked at the matter as one of public cuncernment, and not af @ sectional religious nature, | matiered not who the lecturer might be, or what subject be proposed to handle. The only quest for Council was, would hie lecwring endanger the public peace or the lives of our citigens 1 |i did appear to bim, tbat jn this instance, some such result might easily be apprehended, judg. ing from what bis Hogor the mayor hed stated and he therefore was decidedly in favor of pro hibiting the proceeding. Mr. Leahey again addressed the Council.— We report his words in part—all that are nec. essary tu an undersiquding of the qubject Recently, in Baltinore, wheg it was known that he intended to lecture, the Catholics sent a delegation of seventy persons to the Mayor tv protest agajost it. ‘The Mayor retused to comply wit their request--sent for him, and told bim that he might lecture, aod would be sustained even if the Bishop, the Pope and the devil were to oppose him! ‘That this was a strong expression (yr bis Honor to use ; but the fact is the Mayor ix a Metbodist, and was great ly excited at the effort on the part of the Cath. olics to stop his mouth. Accordingly he did lecture : the Catholic party attempted to ister rupt him ; shote were fired through the windowe but he stood his ground. He was ready to ley down his Jife in thiscause. Qnthe next aighs an overwhelming demonstration was made hy his Protestant supporters and nat a Catholic was to be seen. He bas in his pocket a letier from the Mayor of Washingion—the Capitol of our Republic-cinviting him to gu there and lecture. But if the City Council of Charleston relus ed to let him lecture, he could still make him- self heard—he had a tongue and a pen and he would denounce their illiherality to the whule Country. But he hoped better things of the honorable gentleman, and trusted that he would be permitied tq lecture, and protected in doing so. * Mr. Leahey was followed by Dr. Bellinger in a pretty long address. He contended that there was no necessily for the lectures, as the gentleman had preached in the Churches, and that be might continue todo so. ‘The Doctor here indicates how far the Liberty of Speech may be tolerated and how far it aay oot. Very modest. He conceived it tv be presumptuous to at lempt to enlighten any one on the morals and doctrine of the Catholic Church. Himself was once a Protestant and become a convert to Ca tholicism. He said the charges were old.— He said: The only effects of his intrusion among us will be to exsasperate this latter class, and pro voke them to tivlence, at the same time, a wide. felt shock will be given tothe harmony that has sv long sybsisied between Catbolic aud Protes. tant in this country. Again he says, in regard to the Catlolic Clergy : It has heen said and repeated, that it rests with the Cathulic clergy to prevent a viviation of order and of law, growing out of this attack on themselves and on their religion. I say to the Alderman that he is mistaken. And let it not be said, in case of riot and bloodshed, that their efforts to avert them were not earnest and sincere. ‘The Catholics have been warned, from the altars of all the churches, to absent themselves frum these lectures ; and neither to give nor take provocation. ‘The Bishop bas published a letier, in which, employing the most mandatory and moving expressions, be appeals to their Christian forbearance, and to their Catholic reverence for spiritual authority; enjoining it upon them to bear this trial with patient meekness. It is a little singular that the Doctor should caution the public against believing that the Catholic Clergy were not earnest and sincere. He continues ; For myself, and for some, who I am sure fee! as I do, such is our conscientious and habitnal reapect for spiritual authority, that ne insult could excite us to resentment—now we bave beard the voice of our Pastor, and hare bad time to prepare our spirits for bumiliation.— Were thie ex Munk as be styles himself, even to slap us on the face we could unhesitatingly turn to bim the other cheek to be smitten. But there are thers I fear, by far the larger num. ber who, carried away by national feelings, and for the moment deaf to the call of authori- ty would resent this gratuitous insult to the mor ality of their clergy, and world renowned chas. lity of their women, and punish it in blood. Two other Aldermen, Honour and Hayne, successively expressed their readiness to con cur in prohibiting the Lectures, could it be made to appear that Council possessed the con. stitutional authority to do su; but as the con. trary was the opinion of legal gentlemen, they suggested, that the Mayor do caution all per. suns taking part in the proposed proceedings, that the Corporation would not hold itself re sponsible in damages ; and that the Mayor, in case of a iecture being announced. provide a. Kaine a tumult by attending with the whole police of the city—but that he do not call an armed force into tequisitiva. We have not space for comment ; in fact it is mot necessary. From the foreguing the pub lic will perceive that they hold their right of FREEDOM OF SPEECH. by virtue of the CLEMENCY and MERCY of the ROMAN CATHOLIC CLERGY; wherever that de- nomination has the physical power to subvert the DOMINION OF LAW, and i CRUSH ihe EMPIRE OF REASON, And tbe public will perceive, moreover, thal where the Reman Catholics can wield this brute force, they will not permit any insults to their Clergy, by the expositiun of their run. duet, but will take the liberty of putting down ed fhtnpersene | OF SPBECH andthe RIGHT > HEARI ingsmpuch as they will “PDN ISH IT IN BLOOD. : P I we havedrawe wrong inferences from this Roman Catholic Authority, tbe intelligent read er will detect our error. -Butwe can make go other conclusions from the premises, while we would be obscene ; and would be offensive to consuit sease and reason. wives we learn bibkerke of enness, The court remarked tothe watch man who complained, that it would be better when a case nay 7pukts Fey to investigate the matter, . and see if the charge of being a common drurk- ard could not be made out.

Interesting Artesian Well.— There is an Artesian Well at the cotton factory of Joel Matthews Exq., in Dallas co., Ala.. which is 710 feet 10 inches in depth, and which discharges 600 gallons of water per minute, or 864.000 gallons in twenty- four hours, exceeding any well in Ameri- ca. The water flows out with such lorce that if pieces of stone as large as an egg. or a half dollar, are thrown in. they are immediately ejected. The sand. gravel. dec. made by the auger are also forced out by water, which is perfectly clear. limpid and pleasant to the taste. The diameter of the well is a little over six inches. and itis Mr. Matthews’ intention. as soon as he has it tohed the entire distance now completed, to have the boring continued ton greater depth. This will make it, it is believed, the most wonderful Artesian well in America. Some of the people of Fremont county, lown, appear to be much incensed against the Mormons under Elder Hyde.

Whilst act. ing ee of War, subsequent tuthe death of General Taylor, and previvus to the forma. tion of Mr. Filimore’s Cabinet, he exerted his personal influence to the ufmost to effect the passage.of the Compromise measures.” Two months bave passed by, and this declaration bas not been cuntradicied, and will not be.— Mr, Cabell, at the same time, said that it was “almost if not entirely too late for this gallant soldier to do himself justice, to extricate him. self trom the talse position into which the acts of designing men have inveigled him;” by which I suppose he means what the writer of the letter 10 which | am replying speaks of as “the influences, the atmusphere that is created to elect him.” I quote Mr. Cahell’s speech to show that Gen. Scott's opinions were well known and never were concealed; aud that | may suy, at the time the speech was made, I told Mr. Cabell | thought he was wrong in saying it was neces. sary that General Scott should “ spread his o- pinions on the record,” and afier be, Mr. C., had declared that he was “entitled to the sup. port of all Compromise men.” | remarked to several gentlemen that | thought Mr. Cabell was mistaken iu the opinions he expressed of the probability of General Scot’s receiving electo ral votes of Suuthern States ; that Mr. Cabell's Character was so favorably known to my constit- veuts, | thought they could trust General Scott when Mr. C, declared he was entitiedto “the support of all Compromise men ;” and that | thought, where | was known, | could tell what I knew of General Scott’s opinions ; and | flat. tered myself 1 would be believed. The people of North Carolina want a man whose opinions are known, who is worthy of cuntidence, in all the relations of life—of tried patrictism and dususpected integrity. They do not want a man who writes letters and makes pledges just before an election—letters that would require personal explanations every ten days to enable the country to understand them. li is aa old trick, by which [ do not intend to be alarmed, to excite prejudice against one who may be nominated by the Whigs, to charge him with want of fidelity to southern interests. Mr. Clay, General Harrison, General Taylor, Mr. Fillmore, Mr. Webstes, and Gen. Scott, have all been brought forward as candidates for the Presidency. So it wil] be, no matier who is nuininated, No candidate for the Presidency is to be blamed because unworthy men may try to get into power by supporting him, unless be solicits their support or tries to conciliate them. The Abolitionists—Cleveland, Preston, King, and Rantoul—voted for Mr, Speaker Boyd. Could anything be more unjust than to say Mr. Boyd was not worthy the cuontidence of Southern men because of their support? In the “ Annual report of the Massachusetts Anti Slavery Society, by its board of managers, January, 1852,” page 8, occurs this passage : “ The opening of the thirty second Congress has not heen auspicious to the pacific bupes of the Compromise. At the preliminary caucus of the Demeeratic party, now largely in the as cendant, an attempt was made to endorse the Compromise measures, and to pledge the party to their maintenance. ‘The drifi of the propo sition was discerned, and the party declined ma- king a Whig platform the basis of their policy and dividing the spoils of office, now almost within their grasp, with their antagonists. The Democrats were well content to allow the Whigs to do the servile work necessary to pac. ity the slaveholders, but they had no intention of sharing with them the plunder of the nation thus obtained. So the motion was laid on the table; and Mr. Linn Boyd, of Kentucky, ob- tained the speaker’s chair solely on this condi- tion.” Does this make Mr. Speaker Boyd an Abo litionist, or create around bim ~ influences ” or an aimosphere that makes him unworthy the confidence of southern men? Suppose the Senator who declared that “ the fugitive slaves of the United States were among the herves of our age,” and said, “in sacrifi cing them to this foul enactment of Congress (the fugitive act) we should viosate every seanti- ment of hospitality, every whispering of the heart, every dictate of religion” —suppose be, who declared he was not a Whig—suppose he should support a Democratic candidate for the Presidency, in the hope “of shaving thé plun. der of the nation ;” would this make the Can didate vaworthy of the support of southern men 1 This same man was guilty of the following at'ro cious declaration, speakiug of the Fugitive bill : * But when we consider the country and the age, 1 ask fearlessly, what act of shame—what ordinance of monarch—what law can compare in atrocity with this enactment of an American Congress?” * * * . “Jato the immortal catalogue of nativaal crimes this has now passed, drawing with it by an inexorable necessity, its authors also, and chiefly him who, as President of the United States, set his name to the bill, and breathed into it that final breath without which it would have no life. Other Presidents may he forgot. ten. There are depths of infamy as there are heights of fame. I regret to say what I must, but truth compels me. Better far for him had be never been burn ; better far tor his memory and for the good name of bis children, had he never been President!” a man, the aos rr cngaatin of General Scott, the malignant defamer of Mr. Webster ihe the nominee of the Democratic Convea. tion, will the Democratic party for that reason abandon their nominee 7 Ltrastsuch men will be excluded from both Democratic and Whig Contentions. His a- buse is praise of the great men he reviles. Let us see how this ruie, applied to General Scott, will work’ im-utherinstanees. Governor Seward—whose name is used in certain parts | of the evuthern country to frighten blockbeads and babies—Governor Seward, it is generally foul reviler of Mr. ne = istration, [tf Mr. Fillmore should he nominated by a National Whig Convention, North Caro. lina delegates, obeying the wishes of ber people voting for him—end Gov. Seward. from dislike of other Candidates. or for any other reason, should support Mr. Fillmore’s nomination. will the sensible ol the good old Nortb Siate forthwith oppose Mr. Fillmore. It would be an insult to her people to suppose so. Again: If the Democratic Freesvilers suc. ceed in their wish, and nominate Gen. Butler, of Kentucky, will the Southern Demoeraey op. pose him because of their support? They are not quite * sufi enough tor that.” No Southern Whig who knows that truly honorable gentle man and most gallant suldier as | do, could not patiently hear bim accused of being unworthy of southern support, because Democratic Abo- litionisis, “desirous of sharing the plunder of the nation,” had determined to vote for him not. withstanding his advocacy of the Compromise measures, Let us imagine thai a candidate for the Pres idency had procured the services of a friend to prepare a biographical sketch of such candidate; that the said candidate corrected with his owa hands the proof.sheets of his friend's sketch, or of one of them; and that in a short time af terward the biographer, who was on’ intimate terms with the candidate, bad, fur fear of certain accusations, departed mysteriously fron: his u sual haunts, and suddenly left his country for bis country’s good” — would this conduct of the hiog rapher, especially if he was under “ abolition influences,” cause the candidate’s party to dis. own him? And why not, according to the rule by which some are disposed to try General Scott? Take another instance. Let us imagine a rapidly rising anti “ old fogy.” young America candidate, who did not dodge the Fugitive Slave hill, who defended it at home most patriotically in the midst of Freesoilers, in a non-siavebold. ing State: let us imagine such an one, “a northern man with Southern principles "—one hundred and fifty ot them, if you please—a non slaveholding slaveholder nominated as President with a Southern slaveholder as Vice President, nominated by the Baltimore Convention, known and acknowledged as advocates of the Com. promise measures, but supported by such mea as Hallet, Rantoul,Sumner, Cleveland, Presion King, et id omni genus—will southern Democ- racy vote against such Compromise men, be. canse of these “ abolition influences ” and the horrid “ atmosphere ” they would make around any candidate? Not until green cheese is had from the moon. And I majntain, the Southern Democracy could with propriety support their nominees, provided they were, as | bave sup- posed, known friends of the Compromise meas. ures; not guilty of having dodged any of them to conciliate abolition vores, and pot nominated hy abolitionists.

We extract from the Cincinnati Gazette the subjoined particulars attending a late which we have had a brief account by Telegraph :— Nat. Int. Great Loss or Lire —The steamer Red stone lately commenced runing between Cincinnati and Madison as an independent evening passenger boat. She le't Madi- son on Saturday, at 12 o'clock M., and the only landing she made before the ex. plosion was at Carrolton. She passed on to Scott’s landing of Craig’s bar, three miles above Corrolton, on the Kentucky side, to take on a passenger, Rev. Perry A. Scott. While the steamer was back. ing out from this landing, and when about one hundred feet from the landing, the fearful explosion occurred at the second revolution of nog re A : exploded at the same nt. ace work of the boat forward of the la- understood, is hostile to Mr. Fillmore’s Admin- SALISBURY.

A moment after he heard 8 cry of distress in the river, a few feet distant; he swam out and rescued a drowning person. This was the captain, (Pate.) who had one of his legs broken.— The second clerk was re tant left at Madison. The pilots were badly injured. The awfal force of the explosion can be conceived from the fact tbat a large piece of one of the boilers was blown half a mile, lacking five or six yards, from the wreck ! Eleven bodies were blown into a cornfield at some distance from the wa. ter; among them those of the first and third engineers. The people of Carrolton and the vicinity hurried to thé scene, and twenty-five dead and wounded bodies were immediately borne to a small farm house, which was converted into an hospital. The inmates of this house gave up their rooms, bedding, and every thing in their possession to the suffering. The scene here beggars all description, The mangled and ghastly corpses by the side of the wounded and dying, with inadequate medical aid and means for the cvre of the latter, the fluor of the rooms covered deep with blood ; this, and the view of the scattered wreck and the awe stricken miltitude on the shore below, made up a scene of horror before which the intensest paintings of Sue and Dickens pale and grow dim. The river for some distance below Car- rolton was strewn with the fragments of the boat, machinery, furniture, and clo- thing. Small pieces of bedding and clo- thing were found at the distance of very nearly half a mile back from the river, while the trees along the shore were lit- tered with the fragments of the same and of the wreck ! The Hoosier State, which came along soon alter the catastrophe, rendered every assistance, and took on board fifteen of the wounded, of whom but two could help themselves, and brought them to this city, where the majority have either homes or friends. One or two were taken to the hospital. The Redstone was not racing at the time with any other boat, but she was hurrying in order to make as good time as possible between this and Madison. CURIOUS CASE. The New Orleans Delta of the 26th ult., gives the following particulars of a singular case concerning the postmortem examination of a lad who had been some time ili, and died on the 25th ult. : He was three years of age at his demise, and the disease that carried him off was ** dothin- enteritis.” From the family of the lad, who readily gave their consent to the autopsy, and his physician, Dr. Fox Smith, who, with the as- sistance of Dr. Sheridan, Dr. Hale and others, performed the operation, we obtained (be follow. ing particulars: ‘Thies lad, when born, was a twin child, and attached to the side of the other child, which alev, at birth, be it remembered, was ALIVE.— The contact between the children extended from the mamma tv the spine of the ilium. and there was a free interchange of nerves and blood ves. sels passing over from one body to the viher. The former, (the nerves) had their origin in the dorsal region of the vertebra, and the latter (the bloud.vessels) rose from the arch of the aorta and emerged into the vena cava oscendens.— There was but one umbilical dimple between the twins, and that was situated in the centre of the vital connecting septum. lu all otber re- specis we believe, tbe conformation of the twins was normal. These children, thus singularly anited, were large and healthy, at birth, and bade fair to live. But sis months afier birth, when dentition was begining with both, one of the twins died. Dr. Smith was sent for, to separate the living child from the little corpse at its side. On examin- ing the lifeless body, however, he discovered, to his surprise, that pulsation still continued in it, even ‘a the extremities—as the temples, feet and wrists. He hesitated therefore. for a time to resort to the knife. Yet there could be no doubt, bere, of the death of this one of the twins. Formerly, from its birth to the moment ia discussiva, it bad nursed, cried, smiled, showed signs of consci ousness, in sbort as evidently as any infant pos- sessing an independent and distinct vitality.— But, alter this moment, it never nursed, it never cried, it never emiled, it never showed a sign of consciousness.

NEWS BY TELEGRAPH. Local Election 4 Great Riot at St. Louis. Sr. Louis, Arzu. 6.—The returns of the election held in this city yesterday for corporation officers indicate, as far as re- ceived, the election of the Whig ticket. with but three exceptions, The First Ward returns have not yet been received. Mayor Kennett, has been re-elected by from six to seven hundred majority. _A most disgraceful: riot occarred in the First Ward last night, which, we regret to add, resulted in the death of six persons, and the wounding of some five or six oth- ers seriously. After the polls had closed, and whilst a crowd of the friends of the successful candidates were passing Wreckmeyer’s tavern, a German coffee house, at the cor- ner of Seventh street and Park avenue, five or six guns were fired upon the mul- titude, fatally wounding six persons. who died in a short time thereafter. Several others were carried off severely wounded. The excitement occasioned by the outrage was, of course, most intense. and the in- furiated crowd rushed into the bouse and completely demolished its contents, and then set fire to the building. Two other buildings adjoining. inhabited by Germans, were also fired and destroyed by the mab. The crowd were again fired upon at the corner of Park and Carondelet ave- nues, and a member of the St. Louis fire company was mortally wounded. The house from which the shot had been fired was immediately riddled, and the crowd pursued their way up town and dispersed. Later at night a crowd collected around the office of the “ Anzeager Die Wes- tern,” the German newspaper, when the military was ordered out by the Mayor, and, having mustered in force around the block in which the office was situated, kept the crowd at a distance throughout the night. The office appeared to be de- serted, the proprietors having probably anticipated an attack. The city is now perfectly quiet, and order appears to be restored. THE PRESS. The Richmond Examiner, speaking of the common nvtion that everybody has a right to publish what he pleases, at the publisher’s ex. pense and not his own, says, very forcibly: The press is only free to ins editors, and to those whom its editors believe to have good ground for addressing the public, and something to say which the public has an interest in hear ing. We would recommend those who labor under this mistake to consider the following fact —thal newspapers are made for the large class who read, and not for the small class who want to write. The idea that when a man subscribes to a newspaper, he lays its proprietors under some undefinable obligation, ur that he bas a right to publish bis compositions therein, with the single proviso that they shall be inoffensive is a popular fancy and most ridiculous mistake which ought to be corrected. Not only has he no such right, but the editor who permits him to put uninteresting matier in bis columns in. tringes upon the rights of four or five thousand other people to gratify one individual. Very few editors act so absurdly. A LUSUS NATURE. We saw last week in the possession of a Mr. Hampton Huntly, of Union County a strange phenomenon in the haman form. It was born of a Negroe woman, the slave of a Mrs. Barrott, who lives on Jones’ Creek, in Anson County. It is a male, fourteen years of age—is thirty-seven and a balf inches in height, and weighs twen. ty-seven pounds. His height is more than proportionate to his limbs. His head is small in proportion to his face, and re- cedes to a point, much alter the manner of a sinall ended egg. He has no intelli. gence more than what is common to the brate creation—cannot speak a word, yet will recognise the call of his name, which is“ Squire.” Walks on his hands and feet like a quadruped, sits like a tailor, and when he sleeps sits in this same position with bis head io hislap. He lives on the ordinary human diet, but bas to be fed like a child. He is upon the whole, a re- markable curiosity. His owner intends exhibiting him in the Southern and Wes- tern States. He will then sell bim to Bar- num-—N. C. Whig. TEMPERANCE IN’ POLITICS. The introduction of a new element into the partisan contests of the day is distarb- ing the calculations of the politicians. It _ | breaks down the former landmarks by which men have been guided, and throws " {them into new and strange associations. How far this is to exténd, in how many States the question of prohibitory excise laws is to be made an issue in our poli- It has already paramount public good. we cannot be se- anneal ia any other way, will result from i poo point there are, necessarily a variety of conflicting opinions, It isa quotes that cannot be satisfactorily set- place on Monday the Tempe A tion was a principal element. "The Whig party, as it almost uniformly. is, unforwua- ately, whenever an ism ai the po- litical arena, was committ@d te the*Maine law ;” its candidates genemmlly were pub- liely pledged to its enacthent. The re- . sult will be seen in the returns, eds In all the experience we bave had in this worn the Whigs have been the Jos- era by being drawn into the of side issues. It has been founda polities that one opponent of the “ Maine law” is worth two temperance advocates—that is the former more readily breaks away fram party ties than the latter, , ic temperance men will, as a general rule, vote the straight Democratic ticket, let who will be upon it; bis politics is the governing principle of his action; his tem- perance is but secondary.. But with the opponents of this * Maine law” a differ- ent principle of action obtains. Their party relations and ties do not stand in the way. and their votes are cast for those who accord with them. Thus the Whig party, by committing itself te the * Maine law.” is made to suffer, while the cause of temperance is not benefited, but is in fact retarded.— Albany Register. California Emigration.—lt appears by recent accounts from Califernia that. eve- ry occupation in which laber is required in that new State is overstocked, so@hat the thousands of poor young men in the old States who have lately left comforta- ble homes will, it is feared, endure much privation and distress. Those who intend to emigrate should ponder well belore starting. Letters have recently been re- ceived from a company of twenty-five mechanics who went.out from Bostop three months ago, and it is stated that they all concar in saying that’ San Fraa- cisco and the other large cities in. that section of the country.are thronged with persons of every trade, unable to procure work of any kind. One man writes that he is fully satisfied with what he has al- ready seen, and would,if he bad the means gladly return home. Another of the par- ty. a most excellent machinist, went.an to take a situation where he was to receive something like $180 per month. When he arrived he found that the ficm for whom he was to work had failed, and at last accounts he had been unable to obtain a single day’s work.—Sua. Looking Glasses for Birds.—A correspon- dent of the Gardener's Chronicle says : « The following plan is perfectly efficacious for scaring birds from fruit and other produce, One of my servants having by chance brokea a looking glase, it occurred to me that the bro- ken pieces, suspended by a string, so as to turn freely in every direction, would give the appear. ance of something moving aboot, which would alarm the hirds. I acewrdingly tried the plan and found that no bird, not even the most tool hardy of them, dure come near. They had at. tacked my peas; on suspending a few bite. of the looking-glass amongst them the mauraudere lefi the place. The tomtits attacked my seckle pears, to which they seem very partial... A-bit of looking glass suspended in front of the free put a stop to the mischief. My grapes were then. much damaged, before they were rips, by thrushes and starlings ; a piece of looking glaes drove these away, and not a grape was touc afterwards. [had betore tried many plans, but never found any so effectual as the above. A Nut for the Geologists—Hiram De- Witt, of this town, who bas recently re- turned from California, brought with bim a piece of the auriferous quartz rock, of about the size of a man's fist. On Thanks- giving Day it was brought out for exhibi- tion to a friend, when it accidently drop- ped opon the floor, and split open. Near the centre of the mass was discovered, firmly embedded in the quartz, and slight- ly corroded, a cut iron nail, of the size of a six penny nail. It was entirely straight, and had a perfect head. By whom was that nail made? At what period was it planted in the yet unchrystalized quartz? How came it in California. If thebead of that nail could-talk, we should know, something more of American bistory thaw we are likely ever to know.—Sprt (Mass.) Republican. Stole a House.—Some “ adroit thieves” earried off a house “bodily” from Sport Hill, Calvaras county, one day Inst week. The dimensions of the house were twenty by forty feet.

Ses A Roman Catholic Priest was recently tried in Ireland aad found guilty, for burn- ing a copy of the Bible. It seems there was nerve and principle sufficient for the wssertion of the majesty of the Law.— But the Press is free enough in Iretand,as it ought to be, to express Papal indignation at‘ this panishment of the Priest. Por ‘though he was guilty of an outrage upon detency, and of ao impious act in the eyes of the Protestant World, bis deed -would have been considered very meritori- ous in a country altogether Roman Catho- lie, and in accordance with the customs of the country, where great delight is felt at such doings, and where we know they whilom indulged in the pastime of burn- ing the readers of the Bible as well asthe Book itself. Whether in this country the Priest will indulge in the amiable amose- ment of cooking the heretics, when they get the power, or otherwise “punish in blood,” remains for the next generation to know. At present, it is only recommended to “punish in blood,” those who speak ir- reverently of the Fathers of the Church. But our object in these remarks is to lay before ourfleaders a sublime and beau- tifal article {rm an Jrish newspaper call- ed The Tablef. They will not be able sufficiently to admire the soft, sweet, lamb- like disposition of this organ of "the faith- ful.” Good gracious! how like a Chris- tian the Bditor does talk! But our rea- ders wil see. The following is the ex- tract. “One of the tricts of the seducers is with a book which they call the Bible, an heretical work, issued by heretical au- thorities, condemned by the Church. and no more the word of God than the Koran is the word of God—we mean, of course, the treatise upon which Catholic jurors und witnesses are sworm in courts of justice. The pretence is that this book is the word of God, and when to these poor people, what they suppose to be the word of God is brought them by the canting variets who seek to entrap them. the ven- eration for the supposed holiness of the book becomes or may become, a step to further mischief. Jt is necessary, therefore, and a duty for the clergy, to root out this prejudice, and to convince, the people that what the Bible-readers distribute with their soup is Rot a holy book, but an heret- ical book ; and they would fail grievously im their duty if they did not take some means to this end. The means taken at Ballidrobe, it seems, were to burn the heretical volume, and for this act the monk who officiated in the auto de fe, was summoned by the Scrip- ture renders before the magistrate to an- awer two charges—first, that of “burning w copy of the New Testament ;” secondly, that of “profanely seoffing ut the Holy Scriptures.” Now we really don’t want to have these questions, of mutal annoy- ance discussed in the Tablet, if the Scrip- tare readers would give us leave to be silent upon them ; but we must say, that if “Brother John,” the defendant in that suit was guilty of an offence, the present writer is equally an offender. He has burned a Protestant Bible, and is prepar- ed to burn a thousand more, if he can grat- ify his taste economically, and he heartily wishes that the whole seed, breed and generation of them was extirpated, except, perhaps, a stray copy in a collector’s li- brary, as you sometimes find a copy of Jacob Baahmen’s narrative of the spiritual iMemination that fell upon him from the reflection of the sun upon a pewter plate. If an odd volume of the Protestant Bi- ble took its place beside Jocob’s sforesaid folio, we would not quarrel with it, bat, in the present state of the’book market, we decidedly consider it, and are prepared to deal with it. in all proper ways, as an ob- jectionable book. Having, as we fancy, set an example to “Brother John” in this particular, we are quite ready to follow his example in another. If the Bible read. ers, and other people of that demoralized, though respectable class, respect the con- sciences of the poor, it is not either our Wish or our taste to speak offensively of what any other man reverences; but when a bribing Bible reader brings “Bro- ther John” to the session, and the magis- trates, espousing the quarrel, send “ Broth- er John” to the assizes for protecting the faith of the poor, we beg leave pertectly to associate ourselves with “Brother John” in this particular; to scoff at the book which he scoffed at, and to pronounce it ——what it is—not the book of God, not the Holy Seriptures, but a book put togeth- er and there circulated by some of the most active friends and servants of the tire king—in other words, ‘the baok of the devil.” We say this, as “Brother Jobn” said it, not to insult any one, but to impress on the minds of some ignorant readers a fact it is desirable they should remember, and to confirm and uphold “ Brother Jobn” in bis laudable endeavors to teach the truth to the poor.” We find the Editor of the Tublet has a great penchant for Silence, as well as some on this side of the water. “If the Sectanure readers would give us leave to he silent.” Precisely —by keeping silence themselves | a "Phe above exhibition reminds us of the oe ao excellent writer ia refer- eneeto the practices of the Priesthood hers defended. * The same merciful Pro- idence which, for the preservation of the human species, has furnished the snake with his rattle, taught the Lion to « roar for his prey,” has so ordered it that the Romana Catholic Church shoulddptray her veal.eharacter, in order that His People might ” come out of her, that they might not be. pertakers of her sins, that they re- ceive pot ber plagues.”— Wil.

BIBLE BURNING. , . TeuRsDAY 0 We invite the reader's attention to the letter of Me. Stampy, published in this paper.— We do not think it is fairly to be inferred from this letter, that there is a scheme on foot to deprive the Whig par- ty of its first choice of a candidate for the Presidency ; bat it does strike us that Mr. Stanly apprehends that Gen. Scott will receive the nomination, and is disposed to “ pave the way,” or to prepare the pub- lic mind for him. However this may be, we have to say, at present, that as mach as we admire that distinguished man and celebrated hero, there are others for whom we could vote more cordially : Gen. Scott may be perfectly sound on all the ques- tions of vital interest to the Scuth, and we believe he is; but yet our own private predilection would lead us to the selection of a civilian—a statesman— whose mind had been trained in the Senate chamber rather than in the field. On this account, to- gether with his able administration of the Government since he has filled the Execa- tive Chair, Mr. Fillmore commands our most decided preference over all others; and with all true patriots every where, we still hope he may receive the nomina- tion of the Convention. Since writing the foregoing, we have met with the following, which goes to confirm the belief that party leaders at Washington have taken it into their heads to dictate to the people who shall be the next Whig candidate for the Presidency. Foremost, in this business, we find the name of Senator Mancum. With all due respect to Mr. Mangum and those who are assisting him io this matter, we would suggest that they were not sent to Con- gress for the purpose of making Presiden- tial candidates. That is a work which properly belongs tothe people, and it is an insult to them for their representatives to attempt to “horn off” their choice, and to set up men of whom they had not thought, or did not care to think. Of all men, a representative of North Carolina, knowing as well the sentiments of his constituents as does Mr. M., should have been the last to encourage the nomi- nation of any other than Mr. Fiuimorg. And if it shall hereafter appear that be has contributed to the defeat of the wishes of North Carolina on this subject, the time may come when he will be made to feel that his zeal in this matter was not tempered with discretion. The second paragraph of the following is that to which we have alluded: Movements of Kossuth—General Scott and the Presidency. Wasaineron, April 15.—Kossuth remain. ed at the National Hotel all day, receiving calls. He will visit Mount Vernon to-morrow. Judge Mangum’s speech in the Senate to-day in favor of Gen. Scott, as bis favorite candidate for the Presidency, produces great sensation among the politicians here. Gen. Scott's nom. ination is now considered certain, The Circuit Court this evening postponed the further consideration of the libel suit of Weightman against Barney until Monday next. The criminal Court is still engaged in the trial of Brown, charged with forging Treasury vouchers. DISTRIBUTION OF SCHOOL FUND.

Nothing but a deep sense of duty led me totake the part which I did take, in bringing about their adop- tion by Congress, and that same sense of duty remains with unabated force, 1 am of opinion that those measures, one and all, were necessary and expedient, and ought to be adhered to by all friends of the Con- stitution, and all lovers of their country.

G. A. Taverner, Esq. Gen. Houston, in a speech which he made in Huntsville, Alabama, lately, stated a fact which, we believe, is not generally known, viz. that the State of Texas, years ago, passed an act giving to the next kin of each soldier who fell in the Fannin massacre sixteen hundred acres of land, to be Jocated on any of the un. appropriated public lands belonging to that State. He requesied those present to give as much publicity to she fact as possible.— Nat. Intelligencer. Under this act, the “next of kin” of Avexanper Lyerty, is entitled to 1600 acres of Land in Texas. Alexander Lyerly was a youth at the printing business in this town about the year 1834. He left his master in the sum. mer of that year and went to Texas.— He fell in Fannin’s expedition. We men. tion these facts for the benefit of those who may be interested, if such there be within the circulation of this paper.

The “ Standard is, or pretends ta be, in great trepidation as to the soundness of Gen. Scorr, and the Hon. Ep. Sranty on the Compromise of last Congress, and of the influence those gentlemen are to ex- ercise in the country, in reference to that measure. The editor has a hard face be- yond all question. His own deformity on this point, monstrous to a degree, one would suppose would have the effect to seal his lips in regard to that of others, even where it existed. But to cry down others, who, comparatively, are without blemish, as he does Mr. Stranty in par- ticular, exbibits a trait that always distin- guisbes the seared demagogue. Frank I.

John W. Kerr, Esq.—Judging from the fre queat nominations of this gentleman for Gover. nor, in the primary meetings indifferent sections of the State, we think there is much probability that be will be the choice of the Whig Conven. tion which is to meet on the 26:h instant ; and a more fearless, earnest, and able advocate of Whig principles perhaps could not be selec. ted. ‘The Standard bas not been unobserzant of Mr. Kerr’s popularity; and, as if to take time by the foreluck, he has already opened his battery upon him. He uses, however, the spent shot from a Virginia editor’s locker, and he will find, if Mr. Kerr should accept the nomination and take the stump, that his powder has been spent in vain. Mr. Kerr cannot be injured by such assaults ; and if the Standard is alarm. ed already at the mere prospect of his nomina. tion, how will he he when Mr. Kerr takes the field and begins to ply him and his party with the sword of truth, which he wields with the skill of a master 1— Hillsboro’ Recorder. THE DAILY MAIL. Our Representative, Hon. James T. More. head, has received and commmunicated to us the official determination respecting the appli- cation for a daily mail west of Raleigh. We are thus informed, “that the Potmaster General has ordered daily service on the mail routes from Raleigh by Greensborough and Salisbury to Chorlotte, N. C.—to commence when the mail is again conveyed daily on the Raleigh and Gaston Rail Road,—with the understand: ing, that within two months thereafier, sched- ules of departures and arrivals shall be ordered, increasing the speed to five miles an hour, be. tween Raleigh and Salisbury.” We gather from the papers below us, that the conveyance on the Raleigh and Gaston Road will probably be again in daily operation by the first of June next. And it is stated, that a line of daily stages has been put in operation, to connect with Chorlotte and the point where the Charlotte and Columbia Railroad is com. pleted, so that Charlotte and Charleston are now within thirty hours of each other. A co. temporary well remarks, that a daily commun. ication being thus opened to the North and the South, will present mail facilities and convenien- ces fur travel which will be of great importance to the people along the middle and western por. tions of our State.

On motion, a Confimittes was to report what amount of capital had been subscribed on the books of the Company, and to examine proxies, and ascertain the appointed a in this meeting. oes ee This Committee, throogh their Chair- man Gen, J,_A.. Young, reported the num- ber of shares to be 604, equal to the sum of $30,200 ; of which, 482 shares, equal to the sum of $21,600, were in this meet- ing duly represented. , Ce epee being adopted, and it ap- pearing that the requisitions of the Char- ter had been fulfilled, anda majority of the Stock” here represented, it was an- nounced that it would be competent for the Charlotte and Taylorsville Plank Road Company to be forthwith organized. On motion, the meeting then proceeded to elect nine suitable persons, resident along the route of the proposed road, to compose the Beard of Directors, of said Company. . The Committee appointed to superin- tend this election, reported that Messrs. A. C. McIntosh, J. F. Alexander, R. F. Si- monton, Dr. J. K. Nesbit. Andrew Springs, George F. Davidson, John Young, Wm. Johnston and Dr. L. G. Jones, had been duly elected, and accordingly they were declared to constitute said Board of Direc- tors. Col. A. M. Walker of Iredell, then of.- fered the following resolutions, to wit: Resotven, That the officers of this Company, be, and are hereby instructed, not to enter into any con- tract for the constraction of said Road, until the right of way shall have been secured on the whole of what- ever route may Le selected therefor. Reso.vep. That the work shall not be commenced on said road, until such further amount shall have been subscribed in the County of Mecklenburg as may be necessary to raise the entire subscription of that county to the sum of $20,000 RESOLVED FURTHER, That the first eighty shares bere- after subscribed on the Books of this Company, shall be received in lieu of that number of shares which were taken by Messrs. Johnston, Joung and Jones, to enable the Company to be prepared to organize at this meet- ing. These resolutions after discussion by several gentlemen from Mecklenburg, were unanimously adopted. The following preamble and resolutions were then introduced and adopted, to wit: Wuereas, The amount of stock now subscribed to the Charlotte and Taylors- ville Plank Road, is altogether insufficient to accomplish the undertaking, and it be- ing represented that a practicable route therefor, together with liberal subscrip- tions, might be obtained through the neigh- borhood of Hopewell Charch ; and where- as, in adopting a route, between Charlotte and Davidsen College, for said road, it may become expedient that the same should be determined asregards the Alex. andriana and Hopewell routes, reference being had to the amount of Stock contrib- uted, and the relative cost of construction through these two neighborhoods respect- ively; and whereas, there may still be a deficiency in the capital, which will pre- vent the completion of the work at an early day; and whereas. the appointment of Committees, to aid the General Com- missioners in the procurement of Stock, may serve to call public attention to the importance of the improvement and there- by remove all delay or difficulty in its speedy, and successful accomplishment, therefore, Resotven, That Dr. John Allison, A. B. Davidson and Marshall McCoy, be ap. pointed a Committee to obtaia subscrip- tions in their neighborhood, conditioned that the Plank Road shall pass by. or near Hopewell Church, to join the present pub- lic road to Statesville, at some point near the residence ot Col. Andrew Springs,— that Juho R. Alexander, Benjamin Alex- ander and Dr. Isaac Wilson, be a Commit- tee to procure subscriptions, conditioned that the Plank Road shall pass via David- son College, over, along, or near the route of the present road from Charlotte to Statesville ; and that, at Charlotte, Dr. M.

A a, she was the exact image of her sister, except her beauty was of that rare and striking cast thatsirikes the beholder ‘at first sight and leaves » pleas ing sensation ever alterwards, She re- wired no glittering ornaments to attract Bi caution ; for ber retired manners and unnsaming modesty won the respeot and admiration of all her acquaintances. — They lived in a neighborhood where ed- ucation was scarcely patronised, and the blessings and advantages springing from it; were unappreciated and unknown, con. sequently they knew but little of the world abroad; its pleasures and varieties; and nothing of the snares and temptations, to whieh they were destined victims. Art- less, innocent and unsophisticated, they Knew nothing, but rural life in its most innocent form. Ignorant of the deep de- pravity of human nature, the duplicity of the world, andthe brittleness of the rock on whieh their power of resistance stood, they yielded unconsciously to temptations and fell to rise no more, The Farmer, as before said, was not wealthy, but through the co-operations and indefatfgable industry of the family, Want never entered his door. These ef- forts at hard Inbor, were always rewarded by plentiful harvesis of every thing need ful for the body. Thus happy, peaceful and contented they lived; patterns af fe~ Ge, knowing and envying not the gay world any of its pleasures and enjoyment. But such bappiness was destined to an Overthrow; and wecannot perfectly agree with the adage that * Where ignorance #8 Bliss, “tis folly .to be wise ;” for had they been wise in one respect, they might now be occupying the beight of innocence and parity trom which they fell. ..Fur a great many miles west of the Farm. er’s residence, was.a pine forest, that held out sufficient inducements to attract the atlentiva ol the money seekers from all parts of the State. Among the adventurers might be traced not daly the polished gentleman, the moral and re. ligiqua:-man, and accomplished scholar; but the Vilest ruffian and most loathsome outeast of all social moral and refined society ;—the traducer Of female chastity, the scourge of society, the curse of God! One of the latter class sougat MreMertimec’s residence and obtained board. He was, in person, rather propussessing ; in mind, dark and designing ; bui as far as they kuew of bis private character, it was unques tiugable. He entered the family a wolf in sheep’s clothing, and like the blasting turnado left nathing uawithered and whole. His gen- emanly deporiment and respectful attentions secon wor the confidence and respect of Eliea and Augusta; and he easily deceived them with regard to bis true motives. Tvo soun they yielded to first impressiuns, and with out the consent of their parents, and unknown to each other, they both engaged themselves to him in marriage vows. Very much were they opmes foe not confiding their secret to each other; and far too much did they suffer fur maiden bashblulness in that respect. vldednsibly, his power of fascination increas. ed over them, uutil like birds, charmed by the diveful altraction of the serpent, their vital en- ergies were paralyzed, aud they aroused not to the horror and degradation of their condition, till they were completely entangled in bis cuil, without power to extricate themselves. Betier, far better for them, had he drawn the assas. sit’ dager at midnight and deprived them of existence at once; better to die, than to live mangled, tora and dying of wounds! ‘The con tiding parents did nut comprehend the real state of affairs, until Elleu and Augusta, became thotbers by the same demon in shape of man! They gozed at the dense cloud of infamy that heganso darken the horizon of their pathway aud-epread so awfully fast o'er their coming destiny, with reasun almost dethroned ; and for iiinths, they could not realise the awful change 10 their litle home of innocence and happinoss. At length, the agonizing grief of their virtuous offspring awoke them to their duty, to their guilty ones, and as they noticed the weight of geil and condemnation that bowed them to the earth, aud heard their sighs of anguish and ap- peals for pardon, their parental affection tri- umphed aad they pronounced the sounds of for. giveness | Byt who can behold this picture, of happi- nest destroysd, character blasted and prospecis “ernally withered without shuddering?

VIOLA. THE JEWS. The new Chanceller of the Exchequer, D'Israeli—*the wondrous boy, who wrote Alroy,’—io bis recent Life of Lord George Bentick,—has many interesting sfate- ments and speculations as to the ‘children of Israel,’ of whom he is one. In one place, he’ remarks that ‘the allegation that the dispersion of the Jewish race is a penalty inourred lor the commission of a great crime—the crucifixion of Jusus Chist—is neither historically true or dog: matically sound. It is nat historically true, because the Jews were as much dispersed throughout the world at the advent of our Lord as they are at the present time, and had been so for many centuries.’ Again he says: ‘The Jews, after ail the havoc and persecution they have experi- enced, are probably more numerous at this date than they were during the reign of Solomon the Wise; are found in all lands, and, unfortunately, prosper in most. All which proves that itis in vain for nan to attempt to baffle the inexorable law of nature which has declared that a superior race shall never be destroyed or absorbed by an inlerior.’ Again; ‘If the reader throws his eye over the Provisional Governmenis ot Ger. many, of Italy, and even of France, (lor- med in 1848) he will recognise every where the Jewish element. Mazini, who accomplished the insurrection, and de- fence, and administration of Vienice. is a Jew, who professes the whole of the Jew ist religion and believes inCalvary as well as Sinai. He is what the Lombards call «a converted Jew. Frederick Gentz, Sec- retary to the Congress of Vienna, was a child of Israel. Several millions of the Jewish race persist in believing only a part of their religion. There is one fact which none can contest. Christians may continue to persecute Jews, and Jews may persist in disbelieving Christians, but who can deny that Jesus of Nazareth, the In- carnate Son of the Most High God, is the eternal glory of the Jewish race 7 * The European nations are indebted to the Jews for much that regulates, much that charms, and much that solaces exis. tence. The toiling molitude rest every seventh day by virtue of Jewish law ; they are perpetually reading, for their exam ple, the records of Jewish history and sing ing the odes and elegies of Jewish poets ; aod they daily acknowledge on their knees, with reverent gratitude, that the only medium of communication between the Creator and themselves is the Jewish race. Yet they treat that race as the vilest generations ; and, instead of logi- cally looking upon them as the human family that bas contributed mosi to buman happiness, they extend to them every term of obloquy and every form of persecution.’ HUSK BEDS. No one who bas not tried them, knows the value of husk beds. Straw and mat- tresses would be entirely done away with, if husk beds were once tried. They are not only more pliable than mattresses, but are more durable. The first cost is but trifling. To have husks nice, they may be split after the manner of splitting straw lor braiding. The finer they are split the softer will be the bed. although they will not be likely to last so long as when they are put in whole. Three barrels full. well stewed in, will fille good sized tick—that nfler they have been split. The bed will always be light, the husks do not become matted down like feathers, avd they are certainly more healthy to sleep on. Feather beds ought to be done away with especially in warm weather. For spring, summer and fall, husk beds ought to be “all the go,” and such undoubtedly will be the case, when they are once brought into use. There is no better time to procure husks than when the corn is being harvested, and the hasks will be much nicer and clearer when corn is cut up at the bottom and put in stacks, They do not become so dry and weather beaten. It is calculated that a good husk bed wil! last from twenty five to thirty years. Eve ry farmer's daughter can supply herself with beds (against time of need) at a trif- ling expense, which is quite an induce- ment now-a day. IRELAND CUTTING LOOSE FROM POPERY. Conversion from Romanism to a putet faith have been multiplying of late in Ire- land, to an unprecedented extent. A-cor- respondent of the New York Times, whose letters certainly give no evidence of Pro lestant prejudice on the part of the wri- ter, in a late letter says :—Sadbath Recon der “The unprecedented spectacle was re- cently presented at a parish cherch in Mayo, Ireland, of a converted Romog Catholic priest preaching to a large con- gregation of bis farmer parishioners, and arging them, in their native language, to embrnee the Reformed Faith. Such af occutrence would not have taken place in Ireland a few years ago. as no Roman Catholic would have dared to listen fora moment to « heretic priest in a” Protes- tant church. It is certain that a greal of change is taking place in the. opinions Pur aught we know the were lefi,—for ip the wildosnars they reposed. | | ful in the ministry. : ain “At the morning’ . week in Old South e ed the above su to the Dr. in re | tar upon bis feet in a and with char- acteristic energy, was one word of truth in the w ry. So ‘dies one of the “veritables” that have been travelling the rounds of the newspapers these man see Watch: and Reflector. The New York Courier, in some com- ments on a late fugitive slave case in that city, says: “ We learn that Preston, after the judge- ment was rendered, assured the Commis- sioner that he had no complaint to make ; that he was a slave of Mr. Reese. that Messrs. Culver & Jay (attorneys) had not been employed by bim, or at bis. re- quest.” More Coal.—Dr. Wm. A. Cole has pre- sented us with a fine specimen of stone coal discovered on bis plantation, at Stokesburg.— The specimen was taken from near the sur- face of the ground, and the Doctor is of opin iow that there is an extensive bed of coal there. Its quality bas been tesied for use in a black- smith’s furnace and proved to answer very well fur that perpess.- Pespiy'e Press. A man who spends only 6} cents per day for intoxicating drinks, pays out in year $22.81}. This sum would rather more delray the annual charge for a poli- cy insurance on life for $1.200, beginning at twenty-one. And still, how many of that and adjacent ages prefer squander- ing their loose change at the death insur- ance office ! An elderly lady in Covington, Ky., late- ly had a thorn extracted from ber arm above the elbow, which had been there over thirty five years. House rents in New York are enor. mously bigh. In Chambers street. medi- um hcuses rent for $1.400 and $1.600 ; in Murray and Warren streets prices range from $1.200 to $1,500. Large new build- ings in Park Place rent for $4.000 and $6,000, and in Vesey street the best three story houses $1,500 and $1.800. In the up town streets, three story houses rent generally for from $800 to $1,300.

BRUNER, ~1Tand my brilliant sisters are many in number, and a bright and 4 joyous life we lead, fcr there is nothing on this large earth that does not love us, and welcome our approach ; the little insects, flutter lovingly aboot us, the flowers look bright- er and more glad when we rest upon them, the water dances and sparkles with glee in the light of our smile, the animals love us, and sleep the sounder when .we watch over them; everywhere we are welcome ; we make ourselves bright path- ways through the foliage of the trees, and in the silent woods lie and sleep upon the fragrant violet; and here in the busy streets we are welcome too, and though we love the flowers and the open the fields the best, still we come to the dark, close streets, and gladden them. “In the gloomy prison we can enter; no heavy bolts can keep us out, and do we but know some pure being is there im- mured, who repents bim of his crime, we enter there to cheer and comfort him.— The dark hold of the mighty ship, tossed on the cold waters, we visit too, bringing back sweet thoughts of their own land, to the exiles from their home. By the sick and the sorrowful we take our place; we are with all who seek us—who try to find us; with all who lift their eyes from the earth, from the world and its grovelling cares, and seek us where alone we are to be found, in our own bright sky. Though clouds may obscure us for awhile, we are still there, and shine the brighter for the passing gloom. “ But ’tis true in this world we are hard to catch, David Coombe ; harder to some than others; you are one who find it hard; you say, neither winter nor summer is your dwelling gladdened by our light ; do you invite us, David Coombe? we love bright places and clean, and brave hearts, David, and above all, true and grateful hearts, who love and worship the Being who made us and them. In these hearts, David, there is always a Sunbeam; no place is dark and joyless, however poor and wretched, to such bearts as these. “ Do you, then, endeavor to catch one of us, to gladden your beart and your dwell- ing. I will tell you how to set the Trap. ‘ It must be bright and pure, and baited with Energy, Preserverance, Industry. Charity, Faith, Hope, and Content. Do thus, David Coombe; and you will never say again, no sunbeam gilds your dwell. ing nor gladdens your declining days; till then, Farewell.” The voice ceased. David uncovered his eyes—nothing was to be seen but a small streak of light, which gradually fa- ded quite away, and David was alone in the darkness. “ Why I’ve been dreaming surely, and that ’ere grinding organ is the musical voice as | thought I heard; queerish dream, too; lay a trap forthe Sun,eh? Energy —why, who can have energy in this world when everything’s done by steam? it's gone out—it ain’tnouse. Perserverance —well, don’t I preservere ? mending boots and shoes for twenty years is Persever- ance, | should think, and Industry too— Charity—well, I don’t exactly know what that is—giving of money, I s’pose; well, ! never had noné to give, never. Faith— ah! I used to know what that meant once —my mother used to tell me something about that, in a big Bible with pictures, but it’s long, long ago; Mother poor moth- er—lI’ve forgot all you taught me. “I had a Bible, though ; now | wonder what’s gone with it; that would tell me aboat Faith; I’ll have a look to-morrow. Hope—] always havé hoped, but it’s nev- er been no use, as | could see ; and Con- tent—with what ? this old dark place—oh lor!” and poor David, more puzzled and bewildered than he had ever been before, lay down on his straw mattrass and tried to sleep, but his thoughts were full of his strange vision, and he could not sleep; the musical voice still rang in his ears, the bright being still glittered in his eyes. It struck him at last, that part of the advice he could follow, he could clean the room, certainly, at least have it cleaned ; so, early in the morning, David determin- ed to venture up-stairs to the woman of the house, who let him the room he in- habited, and ask her tolend him the servi- ces of her eldest child. Although for ma- ny years he had been Mrs. Dennis's ten- ant, he had never been in ber room, never held any communication with her, save to pay his weekly rent, and she like the rest of the people who knew his gramb- ling disposition, and the total impossibili- ty to comfort him, never tried to do so. It seemed to cost him an effort to make up his mind to ascend the staircase from his own gloomy room ; he opened his door, looked out, and then went in again; at last he opened it very suddenly, and with a quick step ascended three or four of the stairs, paused and considered again ; this reflection seemed to decide him, and he did not stop again till he stood before Mrs. Dennis’s room. ; He knocked gently at the door ; it was opened by a clean, fat, merry-'ooking wo- man, who started back in surprise. Why , bless my heart, Mr. Coombe, who'd ever a-thought a-seeing you? is anything the matter! come in, do, take a chair, Sir, and she banded the cobbler, a chair by the fire, on which a bright kettle wassinging, and before which a.table was drawn, rea- dy. laid .for. breakfast.. In the window were.o few plants of Crysanthemams, 1° bright red flower-pots, and altogether an air of cleanliness, cheerfulness and com- fort pervaded the room: A fat healthy child was seated on the ground, express- ing, in its own sweet way, its pleasore at the toy with it was playing—on its lit- tly white head rested a Sunbeam ! “ Well,” thought David “one would a *magined that little chap warn’t up to laying a Trap, but he’s cathched one of them Sunbeams; what a funny dream! | mustn’t say nothing about it here, thoogh, they'll think I’m mad.” “And what’s brought us the pleasure of seeing you, Mr. Coombe?” asked Mrs. Dennis. “Why, ma’am, I wants your gal to come and clear up my place a bit.” Talk of astonishment—never was it so de- picted as in Mrs. Dennis’s face at this speech. Clear up Coombe’s place a bit! ob, how ofien had she longed todo so! felt that bis room was a disgrace to her house, and thanked her stars that it was the kitchen, and that those who came to see her could not see it. Clear the place up a bit—good gracious! “Certainly she shall, Mr. Coombe,” at length she said ; “she shall come as soon as ever she’s done ber breakfast; will you take some along with us?” “ Thank you, well—as you're so kind, I will take a snack.” “ Here is Betsy—come Betsy,” she contin. ued, addressing a good-looking girl who enter. ed the room, “ make haste and eat your break. fast; Mr. Coombe wants you to go down and clean up his room a bit,” and Mrs. Dennis winked tremendously at her daughter; who stared in astonishment at the visitor and bis re. quest. ‘*So make baste, Betsy, and clear up here, and then you can go down to Mr. Coom. be’s.” ‘ Yes, mother; father ain’t coming in to breakfast I s’pose?” “No, dear;—come bustle about. Quickly the tea was made ; the litle white- headed baby was lifted from the floor, jastened in a chair, and presented with a leaden spoon to amuse him until they bad time to feed him. Mrs. Dennis cut the bread and butter and handed it to Coombe, who took it timidly, as he felt the strong contrast between bis black fia- gers and the brown but perfectly clean ones of his good-hearted hostess. As the mea! proceed. ed, David gradually felt more comfortable, tho’ the strange feeling of being comfortable for the first time for many years, could not wear off. What a cheerful room it was—what a change from his own dirty, gloomy, dingy one, and how that Sunbeam seemed to revel in it! now glit- tering on the bright pewter tea-pot, then danc- ing on Mrs. Dennis’ tea, then glancing on the old cat’s back, and hiding among the Chrysan- themums in the window, and when the child had done his breakfast, and was again upon the ground, it fell on the tiny toy with which the boy was playing, and seemed to sparkle more and more as the child crowed with glee. “ How the sun do stream in here Mrs. Den- nis,” at length David ventured to remark— “how uncommon you must miss it, when it’s a wet, dull day, and there ain’t no sun.” “No, Mr. Coombe, we don’t, it seems always sunny here ; we don’t take no particular notice of the weather, when we’re all well and together, we’re too happy to mind it. You’re my sun, ain’t you, my blessing,” she cantinued, snatch- ing the child from the ground, and covering him with kisses; “ mother’s own boy, don’t she love him—that’s all.” One day it was to be hoped the boy would be more grateful for that good mother’s love, but as it was, he screamed lustily and struggled violently to be put down and return to his toy; yet the mother’s speech had its full effect upon David, and through the baby’s voice he seemed to hear the spirit’s words, “In these hearts, David, there is always a supbeam.” Betsy soon cleared away the breakfast, and putting on a large apron, prepared to take her way ‘o the gloomy room below. “Shall I find some soap there Mr. Coombe, or shall I take some !”— “ Way I am afraid I am out of soap—ob lor 1” You may well say, ob lor! David—out of soap indeed! ‘ Ob,” said Mrs. Dennis, “take some soap, and a pail, and brushes, and so on, of course—al] you want, you know.” With true delicacy she felt all this was needed, but would not have pained him to say so. Well armed therefore, with cleansing apparatus, Batsy de- parted, and David, who had some work to take home ata little distance, departed too, Mrs. Dennis good-naturedly making him promise, that if his room was not finished on his return, be would take his dinner with them ; and away he,weat, with bis peculiar shuffling walk, won- déring to himself how he should like his room when it was clean! whether he should bave that strange dream again, and whether the “ Sunbeam” would surely come and lighten his dwelling. And thus he pondered, as be shuffled up one street and down another, and finally entered a little court, where he was going to leave some work, and receive some money, he hoped. He knocked at the open door and waited ; no answer; he knocked again. David was be- gining to get very cold, and rather impatient ; so he coughedvery loudly, and then a low weak voice said, “Is any one there TY” “Ouly me, Mr. Miffin,” answered Coombe. “Come ia will you, then,” answered the voice. “ I can’t get up,” and David entered and walked into the front room, where, on a press bed, lay a man suffering evidently from severe illness. The room was dirty, and in great confusion, and a coke fire was smouldering in the rusty . “Well, Mr. Coombe, brought boots 1g eh? no use to me—I’m very bad.”— “Sorry to hear it, sir, I'm sure ; everybody seems ill, or miserable, or something, ob lor. “ My wife’s been out this two hours, and I’m all alone, wretched enough, I can tell you. I believe she’s gone out to try if she can get us something to eat ; we'd no dinner yesterday, and how you're to be paid, I don’t know ; — and a long sigh told a tale of physical and men tal suffering. ; ; There was a pause, and David said to him- self, “ two and eight pence at home, and eigh- teen peace for next job—well, yes | will. As to paying of me, Mr. Miffia, why don’t be wor- yourself about that ; the beat thing as you et, is to get well, wear these here ‘NEW SERIES. ~ and make another bole in them for old Coombe to mend when you can pay him, oh Jor !” The sick man his large, sunken eyes, and stared at the bent, dirty before him, and then holding out his wan, thin hand to him, said in a low, trembling voice, “ Bless this is true charity ; draw that curtain, hiend, please, the light is too ;” there was a blaze of sunlight in that little room, and one of its bright rays was resting on the cobbler’s head. In a few moments David was on his way a- gain, but he felt different ; changed into some strange way ; there was a kind of bounding feel- ing at his heari—a younger sensation, which brought back a dim recollection of a sunny green and cricketers where he had been the victor; bis step seemed firmer, quicker, and a mingled sound of ~ this is true charity,” and in “ such hearts as these, David,” seemed ringing in his ears. A loud ery in the street startled him from bis reverie, and a horse came gallopping towards him, bearing his powerless rider, a fair young girl. “ Mischiet there—ob lor! why don’t some one stop it? some one—why, I will!” It was soon accomplished; the horse was stopped, and the fainting girl’s head was resting on the dirty old cobbler’s shoulder. A dense crowd had collected round them. every body sted something and everybody differing, when a gentleman came riding up, and, with a face deadly pale, inquired if the poor girl were hurt. “No sir, only faint and frightened ; this man savéd her, sir—here he is, sir,” but David resigned his burthen to oth- er bands, and was pushing his way out of the crowd, The new comer was so intent upon having th8 poor girl carried into a chemist’s shop and properly attended to, that David escaped with- out his notice, the crowd saying, “ Well that ain’t like a gentleman, never to give the man nothing, after risking his life”—and as they all dispersed in different directions, two policemen came up, and authoritatively or. dered them to “move on.” “Ob lor!” said David when he had walked some distance, “ well, | wonder if that’s what people call enigy. His next customer paid him eighteen pence and gave him more work, andthen David took his way towards home ; and that cold easterly wind which had been blowing for some days, whis- tled into his ear and ble w the dust into his eyes but he did not heed it—it did not make bim cold as it used; he felt warmer than he had done for a long while; he seemed to have a- wakened from a torpor—ithere was a warm glow about his heart, and he thought that the spirit’s words must be true, and that sunbeams did sometimes visit peop!e’s hearts, or his would never feel so warm and comfortable, when he had nothing to make it so. Mrs. Dennis was at the door, talking to a neighbor, when he arrived, and she said, “Come along in, Sir, your room’s quite ready, but you must not disappoint us of your company to din- ner.” So David, looking somewhat confused, accepted the invitation, and followed the kind- hearted woman to the sitting room, where the cloth was already laid for their dinner. The husband was at home at this meal, and a pleasanter one it was many years since Da- vid had sat down to; before he left, he was en- gaged to dine with them on Christmas day. Ah David, well may you stand with your hands in those ragged pockets, and stare al your little room—well may you wonder where you can have got to. The floor so well scrubbed and sprinkled with white sand, the grate so well blacked, with such a bony sparkling fire in it, the kettle bright and filled with water on the hob, ready for his tea, his tools neatly arranged side by side, the window cleaned so that he can see out of it! see into the street! see the peo- ple going past! and above all, see the setting sun, glittering on the windows opposite! bis pewter mug brightened and put on the shelf be. side his pipe, bis few plates and dishes washed and ranged on the shelf too, the little round ta. ble that was bis mother’s, polished, actually pol- ished! and smelling so refreshingly of turpen- tine and bees. wax, a chair before it, and on it his Bible—his long lost Bible. David, after a long stare, said “ ob lor !” not as he used to say “oh lor !”—not a bit like it, but as boys say “ob lor!” as they flatten their noses against the pastry-cook’s windows on Twelfth.bay in admiration of them jolly cakes. David was astonished ; he stood by the window and looked at it, then. be stood by the fire and looked at it,and finally satdown in a chair and covered his face with his hands, as though he thought it was some optical illusion, which must pass away the moment he uncovered them. But no, it was no vision, no illusion, but pleasing reality, and David restored his hands to his pockets, and again ejacalated “ oh lor! He opened the Bible—e bright, bright light fell on its leaves, and rested on the words— Let us not be weary in well doing, for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not;” and a voice, the same low musical voice he had heard before, said, “ This is our favorite home, David, you will always find us here.” (CONCLUSION NEXT WEEK.)

A ROYAL ENTERTAINMENT. Mr. Kendall, in his correspondence from Paris, bearing date on the 26th February, bas the following description of the Ball given by —— Bonaparte at the Tuileries on the 23d: “The papers say that there were six thous. and persons present. Tome it seems that six. teen thousand would be nearer the mark. I have never been in such a closely packed crowd be. fore. I do not care particularly about ever getting into such a closely packed crowd again. Two splendid bands, led by Strauss and Du- fesne, were in attendance, but not one in ten of the persons within the immense saloons could dance ; they were wedged in so tightly they could hardly move. Lovis Napoleon open. ed the ball by dancing with Lady Cowley, the wife of the new British Minister: yet there was not absolutely space enough, where the set was formed, for a dinner table with six covers. All the most fashionable and elegant ladies in Paris, native and foreign, were sent, and their costumes are deecribed as having been costly and brilliant toa degree. I could not see them; I could not see that the chances were better to have their dresses torn off than to make a show off. To one fond of bei jammed and jostled in a crowd of dukes a duchesses, counts and countesses, marshals, generals, senators, and prefects, with their wives and daughters, and all the elite of French and foreign society in short, the opportunity at the Tuileries was almost as favorable as could be well wished fur. The heat in such a crowd was of course almost suffocating, and by a little alter midnight, in company with a friend, | found it a great relief to get out into the open air and make my way homewards. It was more than a jam ; it wasastew. I once thought and said the nearest approach to what is called the ‘horrors of the middle passage’ in the slave trade was the interior of a German eil- wagen or diligence, filled with fat smokere of indifferent tobacco; | had not then been pre- sent at a grand ball at the Tuileries.. An ac- quaintance of mine, who stuck it out to what may emphatically be called ‘the bitter end.’ informs me that the supper was most sumptu- ously served, and that to him it seemed as though at least five hundred waiters in livery were in attendance. ‘he papers put the num- ber of maitres d’hotel present at three hundred, which is probably rather under than over the mark.” In a subsequent part of his letter, Mr. K. says: “In speaking of the ball at the Tuileries, I neglected to mention that a regular ‘knock down and drag out’ fight occurred between two officers present, the one a Spaniard and the other a Frenchman, and that the affair was finally settled by a duel with broadswords yes- terday, in which both the men were slightly wounded. I did not see the fight in the ball room; but have been told that the Spaniard ‘ pitched into’ the Frenchman a la ‘Tom Hyer. The difficulty’ grew out of the fact that the Frenchman tore the dress of a lady, with whom the Spaniard was attempting to dance, with his spurs. It was a poor place to introduce such articles as spurs ; yet | presume there were at least a thousand pair altached to the heels of the French and other officers present.” A Comprehensive Petition.—In the Senate, last week, Mr. Dawson of Georgia, presented a petition which is thus described in the pro- ceedings :— Mr. Dawson presented a memorial from citi- zens of Harris county, in the State of Georgia, who were known to him, and of most reputable and respectable characters. They say that, looking tothe entire consumption of our reve. nue of fifty millions in annual expenditure ,they deem an expression of dissent not intrusive ; they see the Administration charged with the onus of the expenditures, but enter a disclaim- er against al) such charges, as the Administra. tion can never abstract from the ‘Treasury with- out an act of Congress. If there is corruption or incapacity in the Administration, Congress exposes (hem not, but sanctions them by ap- propriations. They see streams of golden lava pouring forth in extraneous channels, having their sources in the halls of Congress, and arise from sympathy, fancy, and vanity, very illegiti- mate causes for jations, and ask mem- bers to winnow the field and separate the just and lawful for their action. They suggest as one measure that needs sifting an increased nsation to Collin’s line, which they- insist comes under the bloody list of illegitimacy ; that the company bad leaped beyond the genius of utilitarian mechanism, intending to vie with. England in the spending of money, and show more trumpery ol the moment than she can; that such competition reminds them of the two housewives who are rivalling each other aren expenditures, without an eye to the larder or their true interests.

Capital Punishment in Pennsylvania.—It was stated the other day that a bill had the lower Houee of the Pennsylvadie Legislature for abolishing capital punish in that State. This ie not exactly correct. The following are the provisions of the bill : , = ke sarcagd that hereafter no warrant for the execut any convict by hanging sbail be issued within one year ata the sentance ot death shall have been passed ; and that, after that period, if no circumstances shall have come to light to render doubiful the correctness of the verdict of the jury in the matter, the Ger. ernor shall then issue his warrant for such ex- ecution ; from the time of-conviction to the time of execution the convict shall be confined in one of the peniteatiaries of the Commea- wealth for safe keeping. Upon the redition of'& verdict of * guilty of murder in the first degree” against any person charged therewith in court of this Commenweaith, it shall be law for the jury to recommend the person convicted to the mercy of the court; and every person duly convicted of murder in the first whom the jury so convicting shall recommend to the mercy of the court, shall be sentenced to undergo an imprisonment in one of the State penitentiaries, and to be kept in separate or solitary confinement at labor for a period of pet less than fifteen nor more than fifty years.” tes Bae ‘ THE MUNICIPAL « Kfps.” The Board of Aldermen of New York have recently submitted a bill of expenses to the cor: poration, which is worthy of mention as exhib. iting “ the way in which the thing is done” im Gotham. The cost of the tea-room for the Municipal fathers, during the month of January alone, was nearly six hundred dollars; and a- mong the items charged were four thousand ee. gare and seven gallons of brandy. During the entire twelve months the cost for carriage hiré was over three thousand dollars, and for refresh- ments Fovenly nearly four thousand. But the item of items, the pearls in this Aldermanic bill is a charge of two hundred and forty-one dol. lars for kid gloves. Now is not that something unique? To use a Gotham phrase, it is a new “ wrinkle” in corporation expenses. Louis Napoleon is not the only man, we find who thinks that legislative duties cannot be performed in ordinary attire, but that a certain amount of dandification, if we may use the werd, is necessary to clear the heads of state small and great. The French President ers that the whole man needs regeneration, and so dresses up his councillors in red coats and spangles, like monkeys at the managerie; but the Aldermen of Gotham appear to regard she array of the hands enough, and are satisfied with the “ kid,” reminding us of bie sabal maje esty, the Mosquito King, whose entire costumé consists of a cocked hat and a pair of spurra. We must not forget, while complimenting our neighbors, to do them full justice for their new invention—legislating in“ kid.” It is we pose, the only way known in Gotham, for lic functionaties to “ keep their hands clean.” Philadelphia Bulletin. Capture of Hawks.—Mr. Jacob Shanlk has adopted a good plan to kill off those pests of farmers—hawks. He erects a pole aboat ten feet high (and probably a higher one would answer a better put- pose.) The lower end, instead of being planted in the ground, is fastened in the centre of two flat cross timbers, and pla- ced on the timbers to keep the pole from blowing over. On top of the pole is pla- ced a common steel trap, the lower bar being fastened securely to the top of the pole by a staple. He sets the trap in some place where hawks are like tocome, and leaves it. The bird, seeing a nice perch on the top of a pole, selects it for s point of observation, and as soon as he alights, the trap springs and catches his legs. The pole can readily be pulled over, the bird taken out, and the tra set for another. In this manner, Mr. bas caught 21 hawks, besides a large namber of owls. The only objection we see to the trap is, that there is danger of destroying other birds, that are not only harmless, but useful. Camp Meeting Anecdote.—At a meeting, a number of ladies conti standing on the benches, notwithstanding frequent hints from the ministers to sit down. A reverenedold gentleman, noted for his good humor, arose and said—* I think if these ladies standing on the bench- es knew they had holesin Cape ray they would sit down.” This address the desired effect—there was an imme- diate sinking into the seats. A as minister standing bebind bim, snd blash, ing to the temples, said, “0, brother, how could you say that 7” “Say that?” said the old gentleman, “it’s a fact—if they hadn’t holes in th stockings, I'd like to know bow they gei them on.” I 01> Franklin says.if/ every man.egd woman would work four hours a day et something aseful, want and misery would be. banished from the world, and: the,re- maining portion of the twenty-four hours might be leisure and pleasure,; .. 1572 - pean powers. - ENGLAND. mis ©» Secretary Walpole had introduced the new mailitin bilfinto the House of Com- ‘mots.

Humpbrey Marshall, in clos- ing his late speech in the House of Rep- renenialives very gallantly vindicated the Whig party of the South, and showed their true’ position upon the Compromise meas- ores. We give the closing paragraphs, ag deserving the attention of our readers, because we arecertain that the truth is here set forth ;— Raleigh Times. “Phe'passage of the Compromise meas- Ures ‘Was not the close of the contest.— Having pnased Congress, the issue of the statesman was yet to pass in review be- fore ‘the American people.

Bat when gentle- men on this floor and out of doors under- take to claim for the Democratic party the merit of baving either devised the Compromise of 1850, or of having passed them by any peculiar influence of their own, and commend modesty and silence to the Southern Whigs upon the subject, then I say, that the party of the South, which was the most united, the firmest, and the most steadfast in roy “tp of the measures, was the Squthern Whig party. They court no comparisons; but they shrink from no scrgtiny, The political history will well compare with the histo- ry of any party know in the annals of the Republic. Their ranks exhibit bright and shining examples of devoted patriotism, of exalted talents, of wise statesmansbip, and of characters which through ages will form models for future imitation.

MR. FILLMORE, If Mr. Fillmore were only a Democrat- ic President or if the Democratic leaders were in a position to speak without inter- est or prejudice of his administration, what an immense field would be soon opened for the admiration and praise of this coun. try! Talk of availability ! These shrewd Democrats, in such a case, would soon make Mr. Fillmore by all odds the most available candidate now before the peo. ple. There are an infinite number and variety of strong and telling points in Mr. Fillmore’s administration. The Demo- cratic organs would never care to dwell on his fidelity to the Constitution and the South,and to congratulate the whole coun- try that if Mr. Polk’s policy had added to the territorial extent of the Union, Mr. Fillmére’s patriotism and wisdom had saved the Union, thus enlarged, from the perils of division and overthrow. They would exalt the firmness with which he has preserved the national faith, and at the same time, the hamanity which in- daced his active and successful interposi- tion in behalf of the unfortunate victims of lawless expeditions, who, but for his interference, Would have fallen under Spanish markets, or be still lingering in Spanish dungeons. They wonld set forth prominently his dignified and national position in regard to Intervention. at a time when half the people of the United States were carried away by the Hanga- rian mania. They would not forget the noble and decisive manner in which he responded to appeals to use his kind offi ces in behalf of the Exiles of Ireland. But Mr. Fillmore is a Whig, and so far from getting credit for his wise and patri- otic course, every act is perverted as far as human ingenuity and craft can accom- plish so difficult a task. He is branded as the enemy of free principles, and as in league with foreign tyrants to crash the rising spirit of liberty everywhere. The Democratic organs claim the very Com- promise by which he saved the Union as their work, and while they eagerly mount upon the platform, they assail the man who gave it the finishing touch as unwor- thy of confidence. They seize upon the votes of the Northern Democracy for the Compromise as evidence of their sound- ness upon the slavery subject, yet they denounce the President by w the Com- sonra became a jaw, as an abolition— ist }t is fortunate, however, that the Amer- ican people the intelligence and the indepe to appreciate such emi- nent services as those rendered by Mr. Fillmore. They have themsel-s been witnesses of bis bearing in that great bat- tle field of sections which has nearly sha- ken the Union to its centre. They well recollect the doubt and gloom which hang over the field before the direction of af- fairs was placed in hishands. They them- selves saw with their own eyes, how soon the sky became clear and peace and et were restored, after hisvadmistra commenced.

Traly, and has it come to that pass, that any man, whatever his standing, shall change the mind of a whole party by the simple decla- ration of his own. By degrees Mr. Fillmore has devel to the admiring gage of millions,a character and a capacity for governing, which has inspired all with confidence and respect. Is it possible that men can so easily forget the true merits of such a man, and condescend to take up one whose military fame alone commends him—as an available candidate. Men of honest minds are shocked by such a pro- position; and hence wherever Mr. Man- gum’s course has been heard of in this part of the country, there have been many to condemn it, whilst a few have ventured to say, * well Mangum is a shrewed fel- low— he knows.—Gen. Scott’s fame is ve- ry great, &c. &c; and one fellow went 80 far as to swear that Mangum never was wrong—except when drunk—if he ever got in that way. The Goldsboro’ Telegraph has the fol- lowing very appropriate remarks on this subject, to which we invite the reader’s attention: MR. MANGUM. This gentleman delivered a speech in the Senate on the 15th instant, in which he expressed a very decided preference for Gen. Scott, as the Wing. candidate for the Presidency. We deem it proper to re- mark, that we differ entirely with Mr. Mangum in some of the views and senti- ments therein expressed. We believe that the Compromise measures should form a part of the Whig platform, and think that by far the greater portion of the South will demand this, and we believe further- more, that Mr. Fillmore, if uominated, could be elected, unless the country. has lost the power to appreciate merit, and the will to reward the noblest virtue and the most exalted patriotism. Mr. Fillmore is pre-eminently the first choice of the peo- ple of this State for the Presidency, and we hope that the Convention which is to assemble at Raleigh on Monday next, will instruct its delegates to the National Con- vention to support as long as there is any room for hope, the man who has been tried and found to have been the best Pre- sident we have had since the days of Washington, and who like him, knew in the discharge of his duties, * no North, no South, no East, no West, nothing but his country.” Present.— We are indebted to Mr. Wixu1ams Brown of this place, for an ele- gant Tin Pitcher and Wash-Bouwl, of his own manofacture.

Hail Storm.—On Tuesday morning last, at 3 o'clock, we were visited by a hail storm which surpassed any thing of the kind occurring here, within the recol- lection of the “ oldest inhabitant.” Our citizens were startled by what they at first supposed, was an attack upon their hous- es. We have heard of one gentleman whose first idea was that some devilish boys were rocking his house, and bustling out of bed seized his shot-gun, and rushed to the door. Another, with the same thought, and bent on repelling the assail- ants, leaped from bis couch, and catching up his revolver, his finger trembling on the trigger, swung open the door. Both these citizens bad to beat a hasty retreat to save their pates. The storm was accompanied with rain. The hail stones in size were from a ben's egs dowp, We have not heard of any very serious damage to the wheat or oth- er crops. More or less damage was sus. tained 4 . age of window glass. But on the whole the storm was comparatively harmless; owing, no doubt to its short duration, which was bot 4 few minutes. There was a good deal of hail fying.on the ground for several hours after sup-rise, and the air passed successfully through this trying or- sontinaed cool throughout the day. by every householder by the break- | feders!

That we approve the administration of President Fillmore, believing that by bis wis. dom evinced in the conduct of our National! Af. fairs amidst embarrassing difficulties, his loyal. ty to the Constitution, bis firmness in the main. tenance of the laws, and his just regard for the rights of the State, he has eminently fulfilled our expectations, and justly entitled himself to our continued confidence and support. 3. That we prefer Millard Filimore as a can. didate for the Presidency over all other persons who have been proposed for that high station, and if he shall be nominated by the Na. tional Whig Convention, the Whigs of Virgin. ia will give him their cordial support. 4. That the Whigs of Virginia will give the like cordial support to any other true Whig who may become the nominee of that Convention, who has stood hy and does stand by the Com promise, out and out, and regards it and stands by it, with unalterable determination as a final settlement and adjustment of the measures in. volved in it. 5. That the wise maxims of Washington re. specting the foreign policy of this country, which have been practically illustrated in the admin. istration of President Fillmore, ought ever to guide the Federal Government in its intercourse with foreign nations. : 6. That the public lands are the common property of the States—that such disposition should be made of them as will enure equally to the benefit of all, and that an equitable por. tion of them in kind, or a like distribution of the proceeds of their sales among the Siates, is not only clearly within the constitutional power of Congress, but is the wisest and most rightful disposition that can be made of the common fund. 7. That whilst we are opposed, as to a Tar: iff to excessive duties, and, as to loternal Im. nts, to Javish appropriations we are content, by a judicious arrangement of dutizs necessary for an economical administration of the Government, to encou dustry, and to provide in time of peace, such improvements of our harbors and principal riv. era, a8 may be necessary to assure our strength Within aod secure our safety without. © — ' 8. ‘Phat et By Aarts ow ath States to bea ary object of patriot site and the preter to be indispensable to its ef.

M. spoke for near an hour, in the course of which he said he should proba- Uly stand prepared to support the nomi- nee of the Whig Convention, but avowed a strong individual preference for Gen. maiaotaining oe “ was the firm tiend of the Union and the compromise ps th a pressing his belief that he was the Whig in the coyntry that dould be elected. wor Dawson claimed a like indal- gence, and made a brief speech, defining bis ‘position, declaring that he Would vote dor. no. man that would not support. the mise measures, and that he would fot unite with any party that would en- deavor, directly or directly, to open these questions, or agitate them even, for the of securing votes at the ensuing Presidential election; nor would he com- bine to elect any man whose opinions are not beyend doubt or cavil on the finality of the compromise. “ Mr. Gwin made inguiry of Mr. Man- gum as to wheiher he spoke from guthor- ity ia what he had said of General Scott's views of the compromise ? “Mr. Mangom spoke from his know- ledge of Gen. Scott’s character. He had no communication with him on political questions since December last. “The subject was then dropped.” In the report for the Baltimore Patriot we find the following additional particu- lars: « * He purposed soon to retire from pub- lic life. Po was no candidate, and did riot expect to be nominated for any thing. Asto a preference for the Presidency, he differed with his constituents. His first choice was Gen. Winfield Scott. “* Mr, Mangom stated at length his rea- sons for prefering General Seott. He eu- logiged him as the hero of Chepultepec and Churubusco. He considered him in favor of the compromise measures, but ~thought it unnecessary to bring up that question now. He exculpated him from connection with the abolitionists. He was, said Mr. M., national as any other candidate in his politics. As to bis avail- ability, he was the only man who could be elected—the only Whig in the country who could get half votes enough to elect him.” And in the N. Y. Express and Rich- mond Whig we find the following tele- graphic despatch from Washington: “Judge Mangom’s speech in favor of Scott produces great sensation among po- liticians. Scott’s‘nomination is now con- sidered certain.” ‘The Express says editorially,— “ Mr. Mangum, of N. C., has made the dotble announcement in the Senate that he is in favor of Gen. Scott for the Presi- dengy, whilst his constituents prefer Mr. Pillmore, and that he expects soom'to re- tire from public life. He is an old soldier in. the field, and having served the Whig party long and well, his opinions will be nae .bave much weight, not only in atolina, but elsewhere. It is cer- tain, however, that the Whigs of the Old North State io all their primary meetings, we believe, and in a}) the Whig presses of thé State, have expressed a preference for Mr Fillmore.” No one we pressyme, certainly not we, will deny to Mr. Mangum the right to en- tertain, and to express on all proper occa- sions, his own opinions and wishes on this or any other subject. But we are very far from believing that he is right in using the official position for which he is indebted tothe Whigs of North Carolina, for the parpose of thwarting their well settled, well, known, unanimous, opinions and wishes, Mr. Mangum knows and admits itiat his constituents differ from him. He knows that they are unprecedentedly unanimous in that difference. And yetat the very moment of all others when his Huby exe to their will can be most effec- figely exerted, has he stepped forward, to oppose them. What “ weight” bis speech may have “elsewhere,” we know not; but we think we can safely agsure the ress, that its only weight in North Will be a depressing one upon its Ky C ‘uuthor, vellous ed apon principle, to be i a um’s Speech, or Site. > broad of gr Ro Rae] Pillcore. = p> are should it have the mar- u et anticipated, to make Gen. 8 nomination “certain.” The opin- ps of per of this State have been sous ‘oped ted se ie -wational administration of tbe government, «tas, his faihiul execution of the Law, to usllow any other name to come in success.

However intelligent, fluent, or easy she may appear, this grace proves the ab- sence of true politeness.

A HAPPY HOME, The first year of married life is a most important era in the bistory of man and wife. Generally, as it is spent, so is al- most all subsequent existence, The wife and the husband then assimilate their views and their desires, or else, conjuring up their dislikes, they add fuel to their prejudices and animosities forever after- wards. “| have somewhere read,” says Rev, Mr. Wise, in his Bridal Greetings, “of a bridegroom who gloried in his eccentrici- ties. He requested his bride to accompa- ny him into the garden, a day or two af. ter their wedding. He then threw a line over the roof of their cottage. Giving bis wife one end of it, he retreated to the oth- er side, and exclaimed— * Pull the line.” She pulled it, at bis request, as far as she could. He cried, “Pull it over.” “T can’t,” she replied. “But pull with all your might,” shouted the whimsical husband. But vain were all the efforts of the bride to pull over the Jine, so long as her hus- band held to the opposite end. But when he came round, and they both pulled at the end, it came over with great ease. * There !” as the line fell from the roof, “you see how hard and ineffectual was our labor when we pulled in opposition to each other; but how easy and pleasant it was when we both pulled together !— Jt will be so with us, my dear through life! If we oppose each other, it will be hard work ; if we act together it will be pleasant to live. Let us always pull to- gether.” Jn this illustration, homely as it may be, there is sound philosophy. Husband and wife mast mutually bear and concede, if they wish to make home a retreat of joy and bliss. One alone cannot make home happy. There needs unison of action, sweetness of spirit and great forbearance and in both husband and wife, to secure the great end of happiness in the domes- tic circle.— Ladies’ itory. The Mysterious Rappings.—The cause of the mysterivus breaking of windows in a house on Vine street, in the Northern Liberties, (Phil- adejphia,) has been discovered, and the evjl removed, Instead of the windows breaking, as was presumed to be the case, by some un. known hand, it bas been fuund that a little bound girl in (We family, aged about twelve years, cre- aied the excitement in the house and occasioned the destruction. The manner in which she op- erated was certainly very adroit; and not gatil she conlessed to the act was it known how the damage was done, notwithstanding Lieut. Nutt and several of his officers, and some of the friends of the family, were watching the house, inside and out. The little girl stated afler be. ing closely interrogated, that she bad thrown stones, potatoes, onions, and clothes-hooks thro’ the windows, from within and without, The reason she broke the windows she a)! she did not know. On one occasion during the Week the family accused the little girl of doing the mischief, bat she strongly denied the accu- sation and wept bitterly. From her statements it was then thought the missiles came from another quarter, and she went to the kitchen, where another servant girl was at work, with another person in the same room. Here she continued crying ; and ata moment when the others were not watching her, she threw a stone and broke a wiodow in the kitchen. ‘This ad- ded more to the mystery, and of coarse the in- mates of the house were much frightened. The whole number of panes of glass broken were sixty-eight. On Saturday the little girl was ta- ken to the almshouse, irom whence she came three years ago, to be bound to the family re- ferred to.— Ledger. A CURIOUS FACT.

Sof 0 A fatal accident occurred on Friday night last on the New Jersey railroad, which is thus noted in the New York Times, of Sat- urday : The train which leaves Jersey City for Rah way at 6 o'clock, P. M., ran off the track last evening, while passing through Bergen cut.— lt was running around a curve at the moment and whether through some defect in the rail or the grade, the engine dashed straight forward into the rampart of rock that walls the roads on either side. ‘The engine, of course, was nearly annihilated, the fragments being heaped upon the tender. ‘The two cars immediately follow. ing the engine were seriously shattered and dam aged. The passengers with the exception of a person Who was standing on one of the plat. forms, who had the fingers of bis right haod crushed, escaped witbout injury. ‘The train was unusually crowded. The engine-hands however, suffered more calamitously. The engineér was flung violently across the track and the forward car running over bim, rested, finally with its whole weight upon his body.— At the moment our informer lefi, ineffectual at- tempts were making tu remove the car; but it was understood that the man was dead. Nothing could be more affecting than :be en- deavors of some of the passengers to disguise the full extent of the casuatity from the wile of the wretched victim. She was upon the train returning from a day’s visit tothe city ; & young and interesting woman, whuee pleasant laugh had been beard repeatedly in the car before the accident occurred. ‘Then filled with fears for the safety of her busbaad, she endeavored to make her way out to the immediate scene of disaster. These about her interfering, she could only implore, in the most heast—rendiog accents, to be.told the worst at once ; but who was there willing to break, as it. could pot but break, the poor girl’s heart, by telling the tear- ful truth? All the words of comfort they offer- ed were worthless, for they contained no aseu- oor ai Pr ods i et ikl obWE bys Gh te asian cee iepabartlipe ag Edy ‘ae Cy BA ser was plainly visible on the mighty of the 3 when the ray, brilliant as it radiat- ed on all around, was bat the light burn- ing in a sepulchre, and already quivering beneath the breath of the less des. troyer! [ami not able to give you an adequate iden of his state. His eye alone shows him, dét dead! His fingers are skel. leton’s,—the conntenance cadaverous yet withal, bis mental faculties are onimpair. ed and vivid as ever. Ai a large party last Tuesday I again met General Scott, who introduced the famovs Soule, the great radical member from Louisiana. Mr. Soule the idol of the Washington ladies, and no wonder, for he is exceedingly fascinating in his conversation. He has that dangerous compound of the French wit and Creole suavity. of acute perception and brilliant imagination, which with his elegant man- ners could not but make him a favorite.— He is thought handsome, but is not, but his appearance is remarkably and distin- gue. In these days of strife and dissension, of disunion and upbraidings, the following fa ble is peculiarly pointed. It is from the Madison Record, and compares with the best of sop: Tue Pix ano tae Neeore.—A pin anda needle, says the American Fantaine, be- ing neighbors in a basket, and both being idle began to q 1, as idle folks are apt to do. “I should like to know,” said the. pin, ‘what you are good for, and how do you expect to go through the world witb- out ahead?” ‘What is the use of your head,’ replied the needle, rather sharply, ‘if you have no eye!” What's the ase of an eye? said the pin, ‘if there is always something in it?’ *1] am more active, and can go through more work than you can,’ said the needle. ‘Yes bat will not live long.” ‘Why not?’ Because you have always a stitch in your side,’ said the pin, ‘You are a crooked creature.’ said the needle. ‘And you are so proud that you can’t bend without breaking your back.’ ‘I'll pull your head off if you insult me again.’ ‘I'll pull your eye out if you touch me, remember your life hangs by a single thread.’ While they were thus conversing, a lit- tle girl entered, and undertaking to sew, she soon broke off the necdle at the eye. Then she tied the thread around the neck of the pin, and attempting to sew with it, she soon pulled its head off and threw it down by the side of the broken needle. ‘ Well, bere we are,’ said the needle. * We have nothing to fight about new, said the pin. ‘It seems misfortune bas brought us to our senses.” ‘A pity we bad not come to them soon- er” said the needle. How much we re- semble human beings, who quarrel! about their blessings till they lose them, and nev- er find out they are brothers till they lie down in the dust together as we do. Tus Onp man ann mis Granp CaILD.— There was uace a very old man, whose eyes had beeome dim, his ears deaf, and whose knees trembled under him. When he sat at the din- ner table, he could scarcely hold bis spoon, so that sometinies he spilt his soup on the cloth.— His son and daughter were much displeased at thie, and at last they made their old father sit in a corner bebind the stove, and gave him his food in a little earthern dish. He never got as mich as he could eat, and he would often look towards the table with wet, longing eyes. es One day bis shaking hand let his liule dish fall, and it was broken. The woman scolded but he said nothing; he only sighed. Theo they bought @ wooden trough for him. ; Once as be was sitting thes in the corner, bis little grand child, about four years old, was play- ing on the floor near him with some pieces of wood. . What are you making?’ asked the father, smi- | . ry ami making 0 little trough,’ answered the of the lpn poof noe nnegre ticket; and an prevails that a like lure is held out to Mr. Senator Jones, pt ae - uence of which is the v mani among the Soutbern Whigs in Congress. I must not be cen- sured for writing you of the existence of this impression. I did not create it. It is my bounden duty, as your correspon- dent, to write you not only facts, but wide- spread rumors affecting public men; and when these rumors are put by me into print, I bat confer an obligation in giving them a reason tocontradict in public what is everywhere whispering in private. The rumor and the belief among many there- fore, is, that at supper parties and dinner parties a coalition has been formed be- tween Mr. Mangum, and Ex Governor Seward on one side, involving others on their respective sides, that with General Scott as the unwriting and unwritten can- didate for the North, is to be ran Mr. Man- gam South, or Mr. Jones, with the distri bation of other offices among their follow. ers in North Carolina, and Tennessee, and a laa Hence this astonishing coali- ion Mr. Mangum was selected, ramor adds, to preside over the Whig Congressional caucus at a private meeti.g. where Gov. Seward was the prominent spirit, and it was there determined that the Whig Com- promise Resolution of the first Congres- sional caucus should be ruled out of or- der. All this may be most untrue, and | endorse not one word of it; but such ru- mors are as current in the Washington circles as any item of news in circulation. I have before me names.of men alleged to have been present at these private din- ner and supper caucuses, but it is not my business to invade social circles, further than as they produce public measures.— The Scott speeches agreed upon in’ these caucuses to follow Mr. Mangum, from Tennessee and North Carolina, and to back bim up, will soon tell what I need not write. It is agreed, too,—and Mr. Mangum’s speech already discloses it—that the Whig Compromise Resolation of the early Con- gressional caucus is to be repudiated, not only for the coming Congressional caucus, * being ruled out of order, but in the hig National Convention, repudiated as uncalled for and unnecessary also. Some of the Southern Whigs in this new move- ment insist upon it that the waiving of issue now is bat its adjournment to a more fitting body—the Whig National Conven- tion—and such of them as are in earnest (for some of them are) are but dupes, as dupes they should be. The whole'Com- promise, as a “ finality,” is to bave the go-by, then, in the Convention. and such is the supper and dinner caucus under- standing among the high contracting par- ties, and the go by it will have and should have in the present position of things.— Why? I think I hear you ask in astonisb- ment. Wuy/? Hear me, then, and | will tell you why. We Northern Whigs can never fight for Southern Constitutional rights on Nor- thern ground, if Southern men abandon us, The provision in the Constitution for the surrender of Fugitive Slaves is to us a most unpopular, often a most revolting and shocking duty, but it is a duty impos- ed upon us by the Constitution, and as sacred, solemn a part of that instrument as any other section in it. If such lead- ing men as Mangum, Stanly, Jones of Tennessee, or any portion of Kentucky, ever abandon us when we struggle in the North for the unquestioned, anquestiona- ble rights of the Southern States, we must tall betore the unpopularity of the Fagi- tive Slave provision of the Constitution. We cannot stand up for men who refuse to stand up for themselves. We have no earthly interest in protecting the odious parts of the Constitution, surrendered by the South itself. We will never be the catchers of negroes that North Carolina men or Kentucky meno do not want. If orth, faith that provision of it w the rights of the South. The , ‘of Pet ga are ions at home, is clear; and that ° to let the South take be of eit nee gitive slaves and all. If. Soathern mea encourage the re-opening or the open the anti-slavery issues, whi, ‘let the re-opening come, and if slavery beati eset that cannot stind the test of aw, or religion, or lar opinion, it mast tamble down. If Me aaeaianas can em: brace in caucus Gov, Seward, fresh’ from the Bloomer anti-slavery demonstratiot of Auburn, and Thad Stephens, with han red with the blood of the Gorsuch murder in Christiana, without any definition of principles—nay, declaring them all eveut of order !—why cannot you, the Editors of the Express? | see no reason why. you Northern Whigs, who, as. forlorn hopes, have led on even the. Demooratio columns from the errors of the Wilmot Proviso to the defence of the Constitution and the Laws, should act as fStlora any more. Wheu the Scadeerdauauien in-chief are deserting you on the field’ of battle, you would be fools to be 1 forlorn hopes in'their behalf. There are. periods in politics, asin war, when to, surrender is a duty as well as discretion I counsel no surrender now, bowever, more vigilant action than ever until it is settled whether Mr. Mangam leads, or, even divides the South. New York and, New England Whigs of the National faith should stand by their principles, and such) exponents of them as Mr. Fillmore and: Mr. Webster, as long as the Southern’ Whigs are true in mass; bat if the South- era Whig Regiment even stagger, or be- gin to stagger, sauve qui peut be the eryi' Mr. Mangom, however, it is believed, : soon be put hors du combat. Phe Gen. Scott will certainly be nominated for President in the Whig National Con- vention if the Southern Whigs divide be-. tween him and any Northern man, and. of that there can be no doubt; or, vice versa, if the Southern Whigs are united,, Mr. Fillmore or Mr. Webster will be the man. It Gen. Scott is nominated on Mrw Mangum’s programme, it is wisely caleue, lated, in these dinner or supper caucuses of which Ihave been speaking, that ‘he: can carry the Northern States, with some (one, only) Southern State.. Even such a' State as Maryland is given up on the catt- vass | have seen! Ohio! Pennsylvania and New York, with their solid columns, are set down for himsore! North Car- olina, Tennessee and Louisiana are utter-_ ly sacrificed in this calculation. It is felt. and known that; with such able men from, Tennessee speaking, as Mr. Gentry is re- ported to have spoken the other ni ia. the Whig caucus, or such as Mr. Oatlawy, of N. C,. speaking with the energy. he ie, reported to have done, there can be no’ possible hope of these States. i Mr. Mangum’s programme, therefore, is a wise one: utter abandonment of the’ Compromise Bills, and the permission run General Scott in the Free Stutes with’ | the repeal or virtual anuulment of the Fu- gitive Slave Law upon every Whig banner. His strength in the Free States will be determined by the candidate the Democ- racy run against bim, but it is obviousal- ready that in Ohio, Central and Western, New York. Abolition Democracy., will, beat Whig Abolition in this scheme two, toone. The best Whig Districts in Obio: have been cut out by Demagoguing: De-: mocratic Abolition; and in this race of demagoguing, there is nothing that cam) equal, much less eclipse, such men’ as’ Rantoul in New England, or the Chase’ and Giddings Free Democracy of Obio.”’ The future is big with events. “No ba’. man being can foresee or control them.

Scott approved of the fugi- tive slave law as it at present exists, or wheth- er; if elected Presitent, he would employ the cof the Government to erecate it? Mec. Stanly. He would be a perjured man Mr. Howard. The first is a question of mor- als, the second a question of law. I desire to ask the gentleman whether he knows, as a matier of fact, that Gen.

Hi the gentleman states this from his own knowledge, or by authority, I will, be happy to know it. The gentleman will telieve us by saying whether Gen Scott has'or has not authorized any one to make such a dec- lacation Mr, Stanly did not think he bad conversed h Geo. Scott for three months ; he had oth er business to attend to—a .great deal of it— and he supposed Gen. Scott hadtoo. General Scott would speak for himself, and he was able té'do 20; but he would tell the genileman and hig ‘constituents what he knew of his own kitowledge from Gen. Scott’s own lips. Could thére be any mistake about this? During the pendency of the compromise measures, wken ‘Fesas' was s0 much alarmed about the ten mill- fons bill and when his friend from Texas chang- ed his vote to obtain its passage, Gen. Scott was ae.anxious for the adoption of those measures aeons. And he (Mr. S.) knew that their passage he was as true, strong, and anmetins a friend of them as the gentleman or himeelf. Mr. Outlaw desired to know of his colleague why Gen. Scott, if he was a compromise man did not eay so under his own band and ecal, _ MF. Stanly thought this a strange question. [isoghter.] Hie colleague knew as well as he that Gén: Scott was in favor of the compro mise measures. As to why he did not say 80 he sipposed that every body had their own no. tions of propriety. He thought General Scott woulddescend from his high position if be should writing letters every ten days to every cabin, crossroad and dram-shop politician, wishing to know his opinions... He had no more doyht:that Geo. Scott would give full answers on, this subject than that be was living. His ion would be made so clear that nvbody mald misunderstand it. f. Outlaw said that the gentleman seemed to think thet he bas asked a strange question. ‘In iy Seto this, he would say that the gen. tleman well kiiew the position which he occu. pied upon this subject—ihat ‘he would vote for mo man for President or Vice President: who was seh enblisly pledged, so that there could be pis « » that he would watt ea owe : measures as a final adjustment of theslavery question.

T. Jerkins of Newbern, C. W. D. Hatchins, of Raleigh, William Swaim, of Greensbo- rough, or E. Myers, of Salisbury, as may be most con- venient, the sum of $5, more or less, for the speedy erection of St. John’s College, the receipt whereof will be weekly announced in the papers published in the aforementioned places. Brethren, with confidence of success, I appeal to your liberality in behalf of this enterprise, the impor- tance of which has been fully established by the Grand Lodge, and the general concurrence of the Brethren throughout the State. While enough has already been done toencourage the hope of success, and evince its entire practicability, much yet remains to be done to render this success certain, and even to prosecute un- remittingly the measures already commenced. And yet it is confidently believed, that the aid which you are able to render will be amply sufficient to accom- plish all this, and that speedily. Upon your action then as Masons, depends the success of an enterprise which promises the richest benefits to the caase of Masonry and of humanity in general. Some of our Lodges have contributed promptly and nobly to this work, and we only ask your careful consideration of the subject, con- vinced as we are that nothing more is needed to secure your cordial co-operation in a favorab:e and early re- sponse to this appeal. Remember that in this asin ev- ery other social movement, harmony ia its strength and support. Iam Respectfally and Fraternally yours, A. T.

JEW DAVID’S OR HEBREW PLASTER IN NORTH CAROLINA. Messrs. Scovit & Meap: I have been troubled with the chrome rheumatism for the last twelve years On the Ist of July, 1849, I was so bad that I could not turn myself in bed, and the pain so severe that I had not slept a wink forsix days. At this time my attending phy- sician prescribed the “ Hebrew Plaster,” and it acted like a charm; the pain left me, and I slept more than half the night, and in three days I was able to ride out. I consider the “ Hebrew Plaster” the best remedy for all sorts of pains now in use. G. W. M’MINN. Hendersonville, N. C., Aug. 16, 1850.

That night the sleep of David Coombe, the poor old cub. biery might have been envied by Princes; im bis dreams, bright visions flitted before his eyes, and he heard soft music, and sweet voices murmuring the words “Bless you—this is true charity.” He awoke early, and rose to look out of the window—yes, be could look out of the window now. That sharp biting wind bad driven up a snow storm, and the ground was thickly covered, but the nias- ses. of cloud were moving slowly away, showing glimpses of the pale blue sky, aid David thought it would be a fine day alter all. He.eat his breakfast, which be seemed to enjoy more than he had ever done for years, and then sat down to his work. |t was no longer with a listless air that he bandied bis tools, but quickly his fingers moved, and suddenly a strange sound is- d from his lips—David Coombe was an had again gathered over the » and the snow was falling heavily ; it was ay ried gloomy out of doors, but David thought his room anything but dark and y, and he still continued that “Then. sound he called singing. at it should have any connexion with musie—that he could think it any way resembled “linked sweetness, long drawn out,” was sirange, very strange ; but to him it was masic, sweeter than any strain he had ever beard; for it was carrying him back to the sunny days of childhood, Britging glad remembrances of happy days gone by, to the withered heart, and back, back long years had David's thoughts wandered, and he could see, while he hummed that quaint old tone, little hands clapping in glee, little feet dancing to its measure, young gay faces brightly smil- ing, and hear sweet, mirthful voices, long silent, joining in its strain. +» He worked away for some time, until Betty eame to do his room, and then, as be'wppeared to be in her way, for she re- peatedly moved him from side to side of he, Vd he thought he would go outia little while ; it did not snow much, besides, We did not mind the weather so he sb out. He*had not proceeded very far from home, when he saw seated on the kerb sione. & child, two or three years old, cry- ing bitterly, and standing by its side,’a baker's man with a basket of bread upon his shoulder, »* Do you pen to know this young ’ua' ?” said the man as David approadhed he's crying for somet gto eat; 1 think he’s lost.” “No, | don't 3 Pil take him in my bit of a place. fig cold and pln he = be took it direetly. and leoking up in tis face with bis large dark eyes filled with tears. lisped””“” Matumy—hapgry.” | “Ob lor! what A and te child all a home, tal to way. in his strange rambling him food, and that * , ” “ t- _ David had come oat in a new character ; for years he had not been 80 active, he cut the child a piece of bread, ry tr it on the chair, pour fice: coke fire ty had made up so ys and, inking off ite wet shoes and socks chafed and warmed its Jittle cold feet.— The snow had eeasol re oe were again rolling away, t wen- ter sun streamed into the room and rested on the child, and on Mo black wh braw- ny band sapporting him so gently. But David was very puzzled, too, and kept saying “oh lor!” in bis old way, when the child began again to cry, and a little wailing voice, asked “Mammy.” . He was not used to children, poor old David, and when he had satisfied its hunger and dried its wet feet, be did not know what to do next, nor bow to stop those sad tears.— But now came the “Sunbeam” to bis aid ; it sparkled on the pewter mug, and though the tears were still wet on its dimpled cheeks, the child laughed a merry laugh. and pointing to the mug. said “Pretty.” This was charming; David took the mog down, and moved it rapidly baek- wards and forwards in the son, fill the child clapped its hands in extacy, and its laugh was so infectious and David was so pleased at the success of his strange toy. that he laughed too. and it sounded oddly enough, that merrimeut, in the once dull and gloomy room, and oddly enough the mingling of that young and musical laugh whose sweet tones neither care nor sorrow had yet power to dull, with Da- vid's harsh, guttural laugh, seeming rusty from long disuse. And through all this laughing, David heard the sweet vioce he now knew so well, saying. “Good David. richly do you deserve our presence now.” In a short time the child seemed quite at home, and David began to work, while the litile fellow trotted about the room and examined the tools, the * Sunbeam” ever following him, shining amongst his golden tresses, and sparkling in his tears, not yet dry upon his peachlike cheeks; and then David shared his scanty dinner with him. giving him by far the largest quantity, and watching with a degree of satisfac- tion he had never experienced while eat- ing his own dinner, the relish with which the poor child devoured it; and then when the daylight began to fade, the boy grew sleepy, and David took him in bis arms and began again that quaint old tone, to lull the child to rest ; soon its large eyes closed and the long lashes swept its cheek, and the boy slept. : Gently David laid him down on bis own mattrass, and when he had lighted his candle began again to work, ever and anon glancing at the sleeping boy, and feeling a strange sort of pleasure he had never before experienced. Suddenly, a great deal of talking inthe street attracted bis attention, for it wasa quiet, out the way sort of place, and there was seldom any noise there of an evining, save the occassional “howlings” of some naughty child, sent by a hurling blow of its “gentle” parent’s band, into the gutter, to cry till it was tired, and then play with some spirit more wicked than itself, till it cried again, and a similar blow from the same hand knocked it intothe house again, and all was still; or some “lady.” ansser- ting the rights of woman, in justification of the corporal punishment she had just been giving her husband, or vice versa, was all that was usual there; therefore, the earnest, but not angry tones David heard, made him lay down his work and listen. There was a knock at the door—perhaps the house was ou. fire. He moved quickly from bis seat and went towards the mattrass; had he money hidden there 7 no—David had no treas. ures, but thé’sleeping child was hidden there, and David stood close beside him, that at the first alarm he could take him in his arms. Mrs. Denniss had opened the street door, and now called out, * Mr. Coombe, open your door, please—we can’t see, and here’s some one wants you.” Some one want Coombe ! well that’s odd,” be thought; “oh, I dare say its only some shoes to mend ; all the better,” and he shuffled out, and he heard Mrs. Dennis say, * Straight on, ma’am—Mr. Coombe has oper. ed the door; take care you don’t fall—but I'm afraid it’s a mistake, as he bas not said nothing 'o me about it.” * Ob sir,’ said the stranger in an agitated voice, as soon as she saw Coombe, * have you seen a child—a boy—my only child ? oh, speak. or I shail go distracted |’ David Coombe could not be hurried, so it was no use; besides, it always took him some time to discover the exact meaning of what was ‘said to him—to come out of the sort of bewil. derment of mind which his long babit of lone. liness had engendered, and taking each word separately, consider its signification, and their translation when united ia a sentence; this done, from the storehouse of bis memory, which from long disuse was now a complete lumber room, he bad to furret out words to make a sen. tence in reply ; therefore any one may imagine it was some ehort time before he answered the agitated querist. But at length be said, ‘1 don't know if it’s your'n—look ’—and slowly and methodically carrying the light to the mattrass, be exhibited the sleeping child to the woman; one glance was enough, andthe mother clasped “her lost cHild 16 her (biewét, Hie mpeded bis ieyest. but finding it was bis mother’s lace gazing ints bis only put bie litle fat hand fn\ted neck, and fell to sieep again., =. | | | | * We ara got sich, Bin, she, said, while tears of deligt Uihedbcr’ rca 4 a thert’s any. hing we can do for you, we shall be so glad— and if you will ¢ome and and take your dinner with us on Suuday,and let my busband thank you for the care of him—be's aur. only one,’ she said, looking fondly atthe child. “Fur the mat. ler rene ma'am, that’s ang, youre quite ~ welcome. - |’ sorry. ta logse a Shalt Bee eee eS 5 et COAL “ereatare,” king him | “David wasa linle Gustered at thie andsial up in sae Bunt procrete to hia exe i eit e mentiacket ore curiosity was busy juhen healings’ she could not forbear coming to enquire all the particulars about the child.

Mr. Coombe ; that’s my motto. We're none of us so independent but what a friend is a good thing to have, and miting with our fel. low-creatures keeps our feelings from getting stiff like, from want of using—and, excuse me, Sir, but a littl» soap, sand and hot water is a capital thing for cleaning one’s hands when they get dirty,’ she said asa sort of altter-thought when she was leaving the room. ‘Oh, ab— thank you mum; perbaps you'd be so obliging as to get me halfa pound of seap.” * Oh, will ingly she would;” this invitation was indeed likely to prove beneficial. He gave her the money for bis useful purchase, and eat down to his work. The morrow came, and David, with a sort of childish curiusity, opened the door to take in the things he kuew his kind landlady would have ready fur him. ‘There they were, sure enough well brushed, andthe ragged places mended ; the good woman bad sat up over night. much beyond her usual hour, to prepare his things fur blue and white cravat, and his boots polished, and moreover, unheard of luzury, a clean red pocket badnkercbief. . David carried them all into his room, and sur- veyed them with the greatest delight, and as he held the clean sbirt in his black bands, the gen tle hint respecting the soap apd water occurred tohim. So be lighted @ brisk litle fire made the water boil, and in @ short space of time, there was actualiy on David's face a positive smile of vanity—he was scarcely cecuguisable. How tbe Sunbeam did dance about the room! David began tv think he must save up some money, really, to buya bat. The bat, compar. ed with the boots and clean shirt, was decidedly shabby. He was quite anxious to see and thank Mrs. Dennis, so he put his duor open as usual when he wanted to see her, and whiled away the time by taking bis breaklast and brushing up the hat, The bells began to ring for church; how plainly David heard them—plainer than ever. Now Mrs. Dennis would soon come down; she always went to church, and never was laie— yes, here she comes; David shuffled out to meet her. ‘Good morning Mr. Coombe; | was coming down to see you ; my gracious, how nice you look, don’t he Betsy 1 Would you like lo go to church along with us? ce 3 suddenly as it struck her that may be it w e shabbi- ness of bis toilet that kept bim hilberto away. * Weil, yes, I raly think [ should,’ he answer. ed hesitatingly, as the new idea occured to bim. * La. that will be nice! run and fetch Mr. Coombe’s hat, make basie, Betsy!’ the girl quickly returned with il, and with a kind of be- wildered air, which this entirely new position occasioned, David, taking Mrs. Deunis’ proffer. ed arm, proceeded to church. To inquire into, or attempt to describe Da- vid’s feelings on entering the sacred edifice tor the first time, for so many, many years, is im. possible; they were a strange mixture of awe and curiosity. Mrs. Dennis’ delight at the tr. umph of having coaxed him tu church, and her good bumored face, beaming wiih siniles, as she occasionally, in the pause of the pauses of the service, louked down at the old bent Dgure by her side, to make sure that he really was quite amusing to witness. The service was over, (he sertnon concluded, and David heard with a vivid resnembrance of years gone by, the beautiful blessing called down on the cuongregatiun, and mechanically followed Mrs. Dennis out of church, scarcely knowing where he was, and repeating again and again—* the peace of Gud which passeth all understanding.’ He did not return home with bis kind [rieod, bul proceeded to his new acquaintances, whe were on the look out fur bim, and the mument he turned the corner of the sireet, they saw him, and set out to meet bim, and soun bis baud was clasped in the dimpled ore of the child, who dragged bim eagerly along, chatiering ali the way, David. replying * yes” and ~ av,” al- ternaiely, thinking one of the two inust be right, as be could nul uaderstand ove werd of the tn. formation eu eagerly accorded him. From tbis time forth, David, each successive Sunday, dined wih bis grateiul frreuds ; the child was taught to call bim uncle David, and green spots in bis existence were indeed these Sabbath days. Time passed on, and seldom now bad David to complain his room was dark and cheeriess ; Betsy perseveringly kept it clean, and the faith- ful Sunbeam never deserted it. One day Mrs. Dennis called bim up, with the startling inior- mation that two ladies wanted to speak tv bim. He shuffled quickly up stairs, and in the pas- sage stoud two young ladies, elegantly attired, the younger remarkably pretty ; avd as he ad- vanced towards them, she fixed her deep blue eyes on his face, and looked long and earnestly at bim, till David—old David—began to feel quite bashful ; be had never been used to the scrutiny of such eyes. Suddenly she said. “ Pardon my troubli you, bot did you sometime age stop a runaw horse?” David thought a moment, and then answered, * Why yes, I.did.” »O, I amo gled—yoo are the person | have been long en- deavoring to find; Papa bas been so anxious, also ; 1 am the young lady whose life you sav. ed, and I have been to rest till I discov- ered you; at length | was direcied to you by a person who works fur me, why told me of your kindness ‘0 her little boy ; why you seem to go about doing good,” and she smiled at bim. such a smile ; who would not have envied the ‘cob. bier?

Never more did he in that the sun giad- dened nut hie dwelling ; repeatedly was he re. quested hy the grateful girl whuse life he Lad preserved, to go to a larger, better house ; but | no, he liked his fairy baunfed place the best, and refused to leave it; besides, he loved the Dennises, in bis odd way, and would aot leave them; so she let him have hiv way, but had the reom painted and papered with a paper, filled the wiadow with plants, aud it, as he thought, a much fitter abude for bis Fairy Sunbeam, though that lithe secret be kept with jealous care; andofien, as be sat in a comfort. | able arm chairs which she had given him, those kind blue eyes gaged kindly Gpon bim, and in | her sweet low wice she would read to bum from | his own old Bible, now handsomely bound, and teach bim Faith. * * * | Years passed away, and old David Coombe died and was buried, tollowed to bie grave by hie constant friends the Dennises, aud his kiute adopted nephew. * Well” said Mrs. Dennis on her retura from the funeral, as she wiped her good bumured eyes filled with tears, “ David used to talk a deal about the sun, and seemed to love it su, and, strange enough, it rested on his face when be died, and on his coffin wheuthey lowered it into the grave.” . * Reader, of whatever rank or station, bave not you, like David Coombe, murmured at your lot, and like him, bemvaned your hard fate, * * * * * your want of luck, and a thousand other things, | when, bad you but looked into your own beart, you would have found the canker was there which was destroying your peace—and though you will urge that Spirits and Fairies came not to help and lecture you, is there not “a still small voice’’ ever addressing you; but you, un- like David, heed it not. Your own murmur ings are louder than its gentle voice ; you du not pause to listen, or you would hear it say, * Mortal, whatever your lot on earth, is it not hetter than you deserve? and amidst all your troubles, have you not much to be thaukful for? Are you sed! there are sadder hearts than yours—go and comfort them, and that will com- fort you. Are you poor! some are starving. cold and houseleas—warm and shelter them, and thiak how rich their blessings make you. * Are you ill and suffering 7 by your gentle patience be an example to those who are eof. fering too. Have you met with ingratitude trom those to whom you bave been kind? Re member how ungrateful you are to one whose watchful care never ceases. and you will for give them and he kind again, and in the know!l- edge that you have dune good, you will have your reward.” I: is the selfish manner in which we live, engrossed by our own troubles, which renders us mindful of those of others; we hurry through the street, intent on sume business of our own, heeding not the many little acts of kindness we could do lor one another, which would send us home with light heafix, and the consciousness that on that day we bad at least done our duty. There ate constant opportunities for kindly ac- tions, if we would only watch for them; then * Let us not be weary in well doing.” and we shall find as old David Coombe found, that * in due seasion we shall reap, if we faint not.” State of Porth Carolina.

The actual result, how- ever, has far transcended even my hopes, the yield being 2070 from 102 bushels of seed, or over 20 for one throughout the en- tirecrop. Forty-six bushels were sowed on clover fallow, and yielded 1040, or about 224 for one. There were two varieties of wheat, the blue stem white, and Ruffin's early purple straw.

Adame, Oak Fe =| Meg, 6148 instance where as much as one hundred bushels were sowed, on any one farm ef like quality, where the yield has been as great. I therefore infer, that although there may be no peculiar merit in my mode of applying guano, it cannot be ve- ry defective, and as it is a subject of great importance, about which there is consid- erable diversity of opinion, | take occa- sion to state my practice. The guano, after being sifted and reduced to proper fineness, is carried to the field in bags in the dry state, empty barrels are placed at convenient distances for the sower, and each bag in tarn emptied into a barrel and mixed with water until it is wet enough to be sowed without blowing away. It usually takes a common bucketful to a bag. Thisis the only addition to the guano, and the water is used for conven- ience of the sowers, without reference to any virtue to be derived from the mixture, though probably in a dry season that may be attended with benefit.. The guano is sowed as evenly as possible, on the sar- face of the rough fallow; and to ensure its equal distribution (the land having been previously laid off by furrows at 10 feet distance) it is sowed twice over. A heavy harrow immediately follows, which partially intermixes the guano with the sorface soil, and prepares the land to re- ceive the seed, which is then sowed and put in with the common shoe horn culti- vator, followed by heavy harrows, which finish the operation. The guano is thus thoroughly incorporated with the soil, and neither remains upon the sarface nor !s baried too deep. Experience and obser- vation have taught us, that all coarse manures should be applied on the surface, and all fine manures, not excepting g0S no, as near the surface as may be, consist- | sustain all that we said about covering SALISBURY, N.C. T ently with their thorough incorporation with the soil. My coontryman, Mr. L. Washington, a farmer of great intelli- gence and observation, informed me that in compliance with the usual prescription, he buried guano, a few years ago, deeply, with the plough, for wheat. The was not very much benefitted, and the next year, when the land was prepared for corn, a large part of the guano was turned ap entirely unchanged. On corn land my practice has been either to torn both wheat and guano in together with a light furrow, or to put in the guano first with a light plow, and to cover the wheat with a harrow. I have not perceived any material difference io the result. In this, as in all other matters on the farm, con. venience and saving of time should be re- garded. I have been familliar with this farm from my childhood to the present time, and | have no recollection of its ever having produced as much as twenty-five bushels of wheat in any one year, until I com- menced improving it. 1 purchased it merely as a healthy site for a residence, without the remotest idea of ever deriving a profit in money from it. For six or eight years, did net deem any part of it capa. ble of producing wheat, and none was sowed. The progress of the wheat crop from year to year, bas been very remark- able. The first crop sowed was a total failure, not worth threshing, and was used as litter for stables. The 2d yielded 56 bushels; the 3d, by the use of one ton of African Guano and some lime and ashes, yielded 220 bushels; the 4th, from -an ex- penditare of one hundred dollars in Afri- can Guano, (a very inferior article) pro- duced 320 bushels; the fifth, from an ex- penditure of $200 in very poor Patagoni- an Gaano produced 540 bushels ; the sixth, from an expenditure of $300 partly in Peruvian and partly in Patagonian Gua- no, yielded 1089 bushels ; the seventh and last, from $400 expended in Peruvian Guano, produced the crop stated in the first part of this communication. During this period, nearly all the ara- ble land has been limed, at the rate of 25 to 50 bushels to the acre, and the rotation changed asrapidly as circumstances would permit from the old three shift system to the five field fallow-system of the Pamun. key. The land has improved, if possible, more rapidly than the crops, and I have no doubt, will, with judicious manage- ment and a small annual expenditure in manures, go on to produce increased crops of grain and grass, until the ultimate point of prodaction of the most fertile soils is reached. In this improvement, every dollar ex- pended has been refunded with profit, in the crops of each year, and the farm is certainly intrinsically worth now, more than ten times its cost. These results are surely most encour- aging, and should urge the farmers, espe- cially the young farmers of Eastern Vir- ginia, to devote their energies to the im- provement of the soil, as the surest road to competence, if not to fortune. Unfor- tunately, we have not among us capital and labor sufficient for the full develop- ment of the resources of the country.— Much of the land must, of necessity, re- main unimproved, unless our young men remain at home, or we can derive popu- lation and capital from other quarters. | cannot believe, that a country, possessing all the advantages of this bighly favored region, can remain, much longer, shat out from general observation, and | predict as its early destiny, universal improvement. But I must forbear. I commenced to give you a few faets, and I find mysell in dulging in an essay. With best wishes for your success in the noble enterprise in which you are engaged, | remain very truly yours, Witvtovcsry Newron. Rowancerlt will be seen that both Mr. Newton and Mr. Washington, fully guano in the soil; views to which Mr. Solon Robinson took exceptions. We can not entirely agree with Mr. Newton where he says that “all coarse manures should be applied on the surface.” With farmers that use a good deal of manore, this is a matter of no little importance, and we shall endeavor to place it on the right basis. If one has a light, sandy, open soil, coarse manore, like straw, corn stalks and forest leaves, buried moderate- ly deep, are apt to remain undecom posed for many months, in which case they yield no food to a needy crop, but operate to make the ground still more dry and po- , / Dorm, axe Lennar is ars.” } f ’ p25 te | Z m 33% SL eee 3521 ss ¥ - “ae fs “£2543 2 ye ' 4 . VOLUME IX—NUMBER@. In all soils where such a resuli is like to follow, “ coarse manures” should either be spread on the surface, as Mr. N. sug- gests, or buried so deeply with the plow 8s to secure sufficient moisture to rot it within a reasonable time. Covering the crop | earth with leaves, straw, or coarse ma- nare, is eminently calculated to keep the surface moist by checking evaporation, which is of great importance in warm climates subject to protracted dry weath- er. So farasany manore yields soluble elements which water conveys into the circulation of plants, it should be near enough to their roots for this to take place. Manure on the surface occupies such a position, but not so fully and favorably as when thoroughly incorporated with the soil. On all loam and clay lands, there is no danger from the mixture of an ordi- nary allowance of coarse manure with the tilled earth, that the manure will not rot sooner in the ground than upon it. In nearly all cases, however, it is best to pass a roller over the surface after the seed is sown to bring the loose earth and vegetable substances applied as manure, into clase contact. A seed vegetates soon- er ifthe soil be slightly compressed a- gainst it; but if it be surrounded with a thin layer of impervious clay which ex. clades atmospheric air, it can not germi- nate. We are not without hopes that Pero- vian guano may soon become somewhat cheaper, so that all poor lands in the South may be cultivatod profitably with it.— Concentrated manures are destined to come into general use, and all Gities can supply them in quantities. REMARKS OF MR. BANKS, OF FAYETTEVILLE, On presenting the resolution complimentary to Mr. Clay. Mr. Presipent: I never attend a Whig meeting, moch less a Whig State Conven- tion, bat I think of my first love—Henry Clay—whose generous and patriotic sen- timents won my early affection, and whose matchless eloquence for half a cen- tury has been the admiration of friends and foes. Disease has laid its band upon him and prostrated his physical powers. He still lives, but it is as a link between the pres- ‘sent and the past. I! cannot forget him; and if I could, the compromising spirit of the members who compose this Conven- tion would remind me of him. Sir, my heart almost misgives me when I remember, that he who so long stood a tower of strength in the councils of the nation, is now under the afflictive hand of divine Providence, emaciated, enfeebled, and the occupant of a sick chamber.— When in his power and pride we all lov- ed him. When he was our guest, and stood where we now stand, he was the joy of every beart and the praise of every tongue. Since then he has been afflicted —he has exchanged.the Senate for the sick chamber; but he is remembered still, and can never be forgotten while patriot- ic hearts warm and animate the human breast. Already. Mr. President, the poi- son has been extracted from the shafts that were wont to be levelled at him, and now that his body is enfeebled, and be is no longer a aa oe for power and place, though still a Whig, yet he has been di- vested by his former enemies of his parti- zan character, until now it can be truly said Henry Clay lives without rivals and without enemies. Mr. President, if the thought of Mr. Clay’s debilitated frame produces sadness, let us gather consolation froin the fact that he is in the hands of a kind and gra- cious Providence. Let as rejoice that the lustre of his eye is not yet dimmed, nor his heart cold to the welfare of his coun- try. Let our fervent and devout prayer be that his span may be lengthened out, and his nights and days spent in comfort,—in fervent aspirations for the perpetuity of the Union, and in sweet communion with that Being whose ways are mysteri- ous and incomprehensible to us. But why prolong these remaks? I feel conscious that every member of this Con- vention is anxious that the balmy breeze of April, which now fans our cheeks, should, in its journey from the sunny south, linger bere, and gather a kindly sentrment from this Whig Convention, to be borne upon the bosom of the breeze and wafted to the sick chamber of Heary Clay, as evi- dence that the. —- of pbologhieg s¢ jina ppreciate his struggle to save anion, ma the.self-sacrificing spirit of the Martyr, and as a guarantee that those leal and loyal hearts that throbbed in unison with his when our guest in 1844, still sympa- thise with him in his affliction,and devout- ly bope that his heal, and strength may and permanently ze ree President, this is the sentiment of the Resolution that I now bold io my hand; and desire the Secretaries shall read to this Convention, This is the “kind- ly .

[Reported for the Raleigh Register. | Mr. Havcuron, of Chatham, when the name of Mr. Kerr had been presented, addressed the coarention, paying an eloquent tribute to his political and personal character. He was proud he said, to see the unanimity with which his nominution had been hailed. Never had there been just such an occasion before in North Car. olina,—never a convention for the selection of the candidate of our party, in which the nomi. nee, however worthy of confidence and support received so unanimous a vote, and enlisted such enthusiastic feeling, as inthe present. Al no time bad there been a standard bearer present. ed, who is so acceptable to his personal and po. litical friends, or who has been more worthy of the trust committed to his hands. If there is any man entitled to the cordial support of the Whigs of North Carolina, that man is Joho Kerr. He-bas, through good and evil report, steadfastly adhered to the political principles of our par y ang gallantly fought to sustain them, and, although living in a country where there was everything to dampen the energies of the Whigs, he bas never wavered in the most untir- ing zeal and devotion to the cause. He is em. inently fitted to be the standard bearer in the coming campaign. Possessed of a pure heart, unepotted character, commanding talents and thrilling eloquence, it is only necessary,—and I say here, as his personal friend, it is all he asks,—that we give him our generous confi. dence, and that support to which he is entitled at our bands, and a sure and brilliant victory awaite us. [Prolonged applause. } Dr. Hill, of Brunswick, spoke in support of the resolutions, and passed an eloquent eulogium upoa Presideat Fillmore. No man had ever been placed in a more trying position. Selec. ted from a Northern State—distrusted io part, by the South, and having arrayed against him the force of Southern prejudice,—wantonly as. sailed by the Abolitionists, he was placed in a position which would have tried any man, yet amid all the trials by which he was beset, he bad pursued suck an honest and independent course, as fitly entitles him to the name of model President. To the South he is par. ticularly dear; and as a citizen of the Old North State, I am proud to speak of him; and no true patriot, no man—be he Whig or Dem- ocrat, having in bis breast an honest heart, can speak of him other than as the pure Chief Magis. trate of the whole country. ‘he speaker then alluded to the bitterness with which he is assail- ed in the North, and read an extract from an ab. olition print, assailing bis character and admin- istration. These assaults he eloquently and in dignantly repelled, and spoke of the convulsions whic agitated the country during the pendency of the compromise measures, and the noble stand taken by bim regardless of sectional prej- udices. ‘To that stand, he said, the country is mainly indebted for the peaceful termination of one of the most fearful storms which has ever threatened it, and that, too, without the loss -of sectional honor, or the shedding of one drop of blood. Of Millard Fillmore it was unnecessa- ry to say anything more ;. his name and worth are engraven upon the heart of every Ameri can citizen. While Fillmore and Graham were bis choice he would heartily support the nominee of the National Convention, provided he was unequiv- ocally in favor of sustaining the Compromise. He had sufficient confidence in that body, to be- lieve they would select no men as candidates who were not sound upon all questions affect. ing the interests of our country. He had no faith in mere written pledges. How was it in the campaign of 1848, when Gen. Cass gave publication to his two sided letters, which re- ceived from his friends, in different sections su many constructions, that even the Democrats bad now no more faith in him that in that arch- dodger, Martin Van Buren. Upon the doctrine of intervention, he adher- ed to the policy of Washington ; and while he was as strong a Republican as any man, and as desirous for the spread of Republican free- dom throughout the world, yet be did not hon- estly believe the citizens of many European countries were fitted, socially and intellectually, for euch a system of government as ours.— France may be taken as an example ; where with the overthrow of a monarchy, a Republic searcely recognised, the people submitted qui- etly to a system more tyrannical than ever, ua- der the usurper Napoleon. In conclusion, he said we had a platform pre- sented by the resolutions, upon which all can stand, and a standard-bearer who could rally our united support, and with our duty accom- plished, success would certainly perch our banner. [ Applause. ] Mr. Mriuer of Wake, brought to bis feet by loud from all parts of the House, respond- ed in one of bis best efforts. He had no dispo- sition to oceupy the time of Convention with any ramarks, yet, when called to the perform- ance of any duty by his Whig friends. he bad no wish {to shriok from it. In the remarks he was about to submit, he had no other desire than to contribute to the unanimity and barmo- ay which governed the Convention. Our polit. ical opponents, previous to the assembling of the Convention, had predicted that it could not meet without sounding, by divisions of senti- ment, the death-knell of the Whig party inthe State. How have these predictions been dis- appointed? Instead of distractions, growing out of sectional differences, we have determin- ed to agree, and with that determination we will ——“ Nature might stand ge Aad may to oll the ped” Th vo oles Mr stood the platform of Washingt and condemned any departure from his wise time honored policy. With the nomination of John Kerr be was highly gratified, He knew him well—knew his fervid eloquence, and declared him a possessed of a clear head and sound heart, a that heart in the right place. He bappily ad, verted to the unanimity with which his nomi- nation had been made, and affirmed that all that was required to secure his election, was unity of action. _We are united here—let us be uni- ted when we go home. Let us enter the con- leet with the right spirii—fight shoulder te shoulder and victory, complete and glorious will crown our efforts. In conclusion, Mr. M. paid a feeling tribute lo the veteran patriot and statesman, “ of the West.” He related an incidence occurred in Harrisburgh Convention in 1839. In the Convention were many ardent friends of Mr. Clay, who warmly urged bis nomination; but when Gen. Harrison was declared the choice of the Convention, like good and true Whigs, their personal preferences were yielded to principle, and one by one they gave their hearty adhesion to the nomination. Among - the staunchest adherents of the Statesman of Kentucky, was the eloquent old Peter Li ‘ton, of New York, who was called on for a speech ; and who, in giving up his cherished hopes of :he nomination of bis idol, thus ele. quently alluded to bis undying fame, and his firm hold upon the affections of his countrymen: “ Kentucky (said he) may soon claim his ashes - but, thank God, the world may claim bis Same” In the struggie of that memorable campaiga, Henry Clay gallantly battled for the success of Harrison and Tyler; and wken that Providense Ual event transpired, which wrung the tribute of a sigh from the nation’s heart, and Joba Ty ler proved traitor to his friends, where was then? His clarion voice was heard again ia rallying the Whigs for the onset, and a was his matchless eloquence employed for their sue- cess. Where ishenow? Alas! prostrated by disease—stricken perhaps by the hand of death; yet, thank God, though the grave may soon held his ashes, every American heart will enshrine his memory—the whole world will claim bie undying fame! In the language of that immor- tal patriot, he would conjure his. Whig friends presentto ‘* Awake, arouse, shake off the dew. drops that glitter on your garments, and once march to battle and to victory!” [Immense applause and deep feeling throughout.] Mr. Nasu of Orange, was next called up and responded happily, as he always does.— He was totally unprepared for making a speech but, like his friend Mr. Miller, was never dis. posed to shrink from a call made upon him by fellow Whigs. He was highly gratified at the harmonious action of the Convention. It bad been predicted by the Democrats that the Con- vention could not harmonize upon the different questions presented for iteaction. Iv that they bad been wofully disappointed. What is there in the platform presented by the resolutions with reference to National concerns, upon which all W higs—all statesmen, and particularly all those of the South, cannot stand? We have present- ed Millard Fillmore as our first choice for the Presidency. He has been a President, not of a section, but of the whole country. Atatime when this glorious Union, whose foundation was laid broad and deep by, and every stone of which was cemented by the best blood of our forefathers, was in imminent danger, he has stood its firm and fast friend. He bas there been a man, North or South, who has evineed greater devotion to that Union, or who bas prov. ed himself sounder upon the Compromise ques- tion? Never have difficulties so great stared a President in the face, as those which be bas had to encounter. Yet in the trying crisis, be has performed his dnty with an eye single ta the glory of his country ; and. contrasted with the dodging of “ Oid Fogies ” or “ Young A- merica,” stands out in bold relief for honesty and independence. As to our second choice, Wm. A. Graham, he has always been true; and if elected Vice President, will still be true. Should, anforta- nately, the fatality which has dogged the heele of Whig Presidents, still attend them, there is no man [ would sooner trust with the reins of “ Government. [Applause.] No second edition of Tyler treachery would be inflicted upon us. He again expressed his gratification at the unanimity which governed the Convention, and that Locofoco predictions had been falsified. The Convention question bas been happily ad- will be satisfied; and if we enter into the con- test with the same spirit which is manifested here, our former proud position will be regain- ed. North Carolina is a Whig State, and, with the fire-brands which were thrown into our ranks removed, we shall, if we do our doty whea we go home as well as we have done here, re- sume our rank as the Banner Whig State of the Union. [Applause.] Mr. Banxs, of Cumberland, next responded to « call made by the Convention, Asn bumble individual, he felt great embarrassment in sub- mitting any remarks, efter the able addresses’ which had heen heard from the gentlemen who had preceded him ; and that embarrasment was (ae friends of both the East and West conquer. [Applause.] belcele Phe Pillaore, and the noble stand eee Yer whatever diffilence he might experience, there was such a feeling of gratification influ- enciugthim, in witnessing the Harmony char. acterising the Convention,—the enthusiasm which actuates its members, that he eould not retrain (he expression of his bumble pride in being & witness of and participator in its ection. And who can avoid being influenced by the cir. cumstances which surround us !—In the proud Capitol ofvur State.fanned by the balmy breezes of Southern Spring, enjoying the pleasure of intercourse with our Whig fitends of the State, and having harmoniously settled every question presented for fits deliberation, — what -Whig could help giving utterance to his feelings 1— Ale alluded to the rapturous applause which bad greeted every mention of the name of Mill- ard Fillmore, and declared that few men, hard. ly Henry Clay bimselt bad ever attained strong. er hold upon the afiections of the people of N. Carolina. Of William A. Graham, he said, his name had been identified with the interests of the State for twenty years, and was familiar to every schoolboy, Inthe Gubernatorial Can. vass, in which he had been successful, so great was his personal popularity, that in Cumberland county, the strong-hold of democracy, & major. ity had been cast in his favor. These facts are something to be heralded to Whigs of the Union in determining their choice for the nomination of a candidatefMfur the Vice Presidency. Ol Jobo Kerr, hegwas praud as the standard bear. er in the comidg contest, and would vigorously fight under his banner, And, althoogh older and abler whigs were ready to sound the blast for the onset, he would be found as ardent a worker in the ranks as the most active. With the spirit which actuates us here, we need not ’ fear the result of that canquest :—Victory, com. plete and glorious, will attend us. [Much ap plause. | Mr. ‘Troy of Robeson, being called up, said that he not only approved of what had been done but of all that had been said in the convention ; and that he therefore, would adopt the eloquent addresses of all the gentlemen, as bis speech on the occasion. [Applause. ] Col. McDugald, of Bladen, in responding to the call made tor Aim, said, this day was a proud one for him, and every good Whig of the State ; he felt a pride, not only in the harmony of our action, in the pure integrity and commanding talents of our nomiree, but in the noble stand which bad been taken by the Convention upon the National and state questions. He heartily concurred in the resolutions, and all that had been said in their support ; nor was he going to be content with that concurrence alone. He would return to his home, and devote his en- ergies to secure the election ot Kerr, and the redemption ofShis State from Loco Foco mis rule. He would, also, labor zealously for the nominees of the Whig National Convention ; and if Fillmore and Graham were the candi- dates, he was willing tu pledge Bladen county for them by a majority of 63! Or | isa well known Democratic county.] Of Presi. dent Fillmore he spoke with warmth ; and said when he thought of William A. Graham—of what he had done for the Whig party of the State, the dignity he has thrown around all the offices he has held, and of his public and pri- vate wortb, he could not but feel proud of him as a man and statesman. [Applause.] He also paid a glowing tribute to the nominee for Governor, and predicted for him in the August election, a brilliant triumph over his opponent ; which was received with hearty applause. Mr. Wynne, of Hyde, afier repeated calls made upon him, commenced by remarking that it was well enough to pronounce eulogiums up. on our nominee, and the heads of our Nationa! Administration, yet we must not forget, in mere eulogies, that our duty is one of action &c. &c. [We have no room for his remarks as reported in the Register. ] Gen. Winstow, of Cumberland, then took the floor in response to repeated calls, and hu. merously alluded to his temporary appointment asChairman: “I am sot going to stand it, sir, afier being selected to preside at the organization of your Convention, and then be thrust down hereto talk to you, while my short lived honors are bestowed upon another.

L suppose I must manage to find my place, and respond to theeall made upon me by my friends.” [ Applause. } He then spoke of the unanimity which had characterized the action of the Convention.— That action had not been merely, as a Con. vention of Wuies, standing shoulder to shoul. der; but as a band of brothers, standing heart to heart, and going band in hand, to work for the accomplishment of a great object. No dis. sentions had entered into its deliberations— not a single fire brand was allowed to ignite the flame of discord so confidently predicted by our opponents—not a dissenting voice was heard in the selection of our nominee or upon the endorsement of the platform presented to the people. But he asked, that he might be allowed to save his ammunitivn for home con. sumption. There the work should be done, and THERE he was willing to do it. (Applause. ) With the names of Fintmore and Granam upon our national standard, and that of Jonn Kerr vpon the Whig banner of tbe State, we ean revive the old fashioned enthusiasm umong the people, and secure an old fashioned major. ity for our candidates in the State, &c. (Ap. plause.) Shooting Affray and Death—We learn that -)about two weeks since, in Cherokee County, three of the Colveris, Mr Slagle, and Mr Hyde, made an atlempt to arrest Elijah Ledford and hie brother in law, Pittman, for some misde. meanor committed in Georgia. They were found ata grocery, kept by one of Ledford’s brothers. When approaching the house, the’ Ledford’s went-in and commenced firing, which was returned by the others, when one of the Ledfards {ell dead, and two of the Colverts were severely wounded, Pittman begged and surrendered, saying he was shot, but when the others were taking care of tha wounded, he slip. ped offand managed to escape. An inquest was beld and a verdict found as above. It is doubtful whether Ledford was shot by one of hisown or the assailing party. The parties were committed to jail. Here is another ter rible result of crime, and an awful sermon on Groo Snors.— Asheville Messenger. * Loox our ror Swixv.Lers.—T wo instances identically alike, have occurred within a few days, of strangers hiring Horses and buggies, and forgetting to return with them.

Yours, &c. J. M. CORRESPONDENCE. Many otherwise polite individuals are alten guilty of a violation of the code of politeness—i. e. of not answering a letter. It is an erroneous impression, pretty gen- erally labored under, that it is not neces- sary to acknowledge the receipt of every letter. Now, it mast he generally con- eeded that a question couched in becom- ing language deserves, if not requires, an answer. The principle herein involved bears a striking analogy to that of an. swering a letter; for generally they are either affirmative, interrogative, or narra- tive, and in each case meriting some sign of recognition. There is no exouse for si- lence, unless the writer or subject be be- neath our notice. Silence ander any oth- er circumstances may often be construed into want of friendship, want of politeness, as evidence of hostile contempt, or at least into an indifference to our feelings. VISITS. It is the privilege of every person paying another the compliment of a visit to ex- pect reciprocity. “One good turn de- serves another” is an old trite saying ; and, cerles, nothing can be more consist- ent with our own respect and that for oth- ers than to manifest a proper estimate of what is justly due. It is not necessary— nay, not even possible—to live with every one on a footing of intimacy, or even so- ciability, nor is it at all suspe&ted that we should waste our time in unprofitable vis- its; but it is required that we should re- turn one lent us for that purpose, though it may be considered the first and the last, or without the intention of a renewal, LAUGHTER. There is nothing so truly blameable as the excess to which the opening of that safety-valve of our mirth is often carried incompany. No lady whoentertains the wish to be considered sensible, intelligent or polite will ever allow ber laughter to border on the boisterous, or indulge in such an unguarded detectien of our neigh- Lor’s ridicule. Toa sensative mind there is nothing more galling, more mortifying than to imagine oneself the object of such an ebullition. It often happens that la- dies will burst into a laugh after having scrutinized the appearance of a stranger though that laughter may have no refer- ence to the victim writhing under its in- fliction. We all know that the smiling countenance of a lady drops cheerfulness into hearts but a moment before filled with sorrow ; but laughter, loud, immode- rate laughter, except in private, is a ¢io- lation of all that is polite, decorous, and sensible ; it is at best a silly display of one’s own ridicule. WHISPERING IN COMPANY. This habit, so often indulged in by young ladies in the presence of friends or strangers, savors strongly of rudeness, if not of gross ignorance. The vainest be- ing, the most conceited, or the most per- fect suffers alike under tbat emancipation from the government of true politeness. We cannot help, though perfect we may imagine ourselves, to consider our bumble self the theme of a merry whisper, and the pain rankling in our wounded self-love leaves a thorn which sooner or later will sting the aggressors, and prove a thorn to them. Whispering in the presence of strangers, without some cogent apology. is therefore entirely out of place and ought to be avoided, cost what it may. We could for hours expatiate on the im- propriety and evil of these babits and oth- ers, Were we not already admonished by the report of the hammer that our time bas expired, and that our further remarks must come up when occasion may justify it. MORE ANON. © FUGITIVE SLAVE CASE. We learn from the Cincinnati Enquirer, | that on Tuesday week; Mr. G. W. Burn. side, of Cynthiana, Ky. came to Cincinnati in- search of a runaway slave. a yellow girl, named Adaline, who bad eloped from his residence about two weeks previous, with a colored barbera free man, to whom she had been married against the consent of her master. On the following Friday, the master took two stout fellows and went to the house where the couple, were surrounded by their friends. Mr. B. asked Adaline if she would go bome with him,to which she consented. Her husband remonstrated, which led to a rencontre between the parties, in which one of the friends of Mr. B. fired a pistol at the ay Sess which missed its aim, hen the husband fired another, taking effect in the thigh of Mr. B. At this stage Mr. B. and his friends gave up t%p idea of captaring bis property. The news from Washington authorizes the belief, that the bill making an appro- priation to the Collins’ steamers will cer- tainly become a law. American pride and the true interests aod glory of the country, are two strong this time for ster- ile abstractions.— Rich. Whig. Another New Pen.—A pen bas been in- vented with ink-stand in the top of it— wntiee the fluid down as it is cer out at the point. We despise so much con- venience. There is no merit in doing a thing if one has no trouble about it. Greensbrough Patriot.— Fay. Observer. JOHN KERR, Esq. The nomination of this able advocate of Whig principles, and the barmony which pre. vailed in the late Whig Convention, bas given the democratic press the blind slaggers. They don't know where they are, what they are do ing or what to do, One calls Mr. K. a“ ubi. quitous dandy”—™* federal nominee,” &c. ; whilst another cries out, let him tell what he is Sor, and what he is against—let him tell !— Another, with a significant shake of the bead, and a restless eye, declares, ‘‘ The day for mums is over.”"—“ He is a Caswell man; is he in favor of the Danville connection with our Central Road 7’—and then exclaims, * Let us have light !” Now all this, at the present moment, is re. ally amusing. Mr. Kerg has not yet announc.- ed his acceptance of the nomination tendered him, and until be shall do so, neither his friends nor himself! will be expected to answer the earn- est, honest, enquiries of these editors, who can- not endure a moment's delay. They are so profoundly concerned for the people’s welfare, thatthey wanf Mr. Kerr to siep right out be. fore them, and answer al once, all the questions their exciied imaginations and fear-racked minds conjure up. Beautiful work for Mr. Kerr! Suppose he were to gratify them !—does any one believe they would be satisfied? Would they volefor him if he were to answer, and even confurm to all their politioal prejudices? It is certain they would not: They would still vote for Davip S. Rem. Mr, Kerr un- derstands this, and so does every body else.— What's the use, then, of asking all these ques- tions, when answers are not expecied to be given at the time and in the way their asking implies? [tis simply to create false impres- sions, and to place Mr. Kerr in a position be. fore the people which will has the appearance of embarrassment. This is no new trick—it has been long played by designed politicians ; and the only wonder is that the honest people every where, have not put their seal of con. demnation upon those who attempt to practice it. It is well known that Mr. Kerr will not hesitate, at proper times and places, to make known his views on all subjects of public con- cernment. These editors might preserve their health by quieting their nerves, and wailing just a flew days. And “ in the name” of com. mon decency we call on them to wait until Mr. Kerr says he’s ready. We willthen see how matters will go between bim and Mr. Rerp, and the people will at last bring in a verdict according to all the facts and circumstances. Navigating the Yadkin.—The long boat, (for the want of a name we will call) Wilkes. borough, A. L. Hackett, master, from Wilkes county, arrived at Locke’s Bridge on Monday last, with 100 bushels Corn on board, having partly sold out before reaching that port. Capt. Hackett’s log book, shows that he encountered, on the voyage down, sundry fisk-dams, mill-° dams and shoals, which gave him more or less trouble. He overcame the dams very handily by tearing away a space large enough to get through ; but the shoals, especially the noted Bean shoals, put him (o considerable delay.— He was out some 15 days, from Wilkesboro’, having spent several days calling on bis friends along the river, and gratifying the curious who gathered on the shores to see his craft. Mr. Hackett expresses the fullest confidence in being able to descend the river with four or five tons of freight with from 15 to 18 inches water above the common tide; and thinks the ex. penditure of a few thousand dollars would be sufficient to render the Yadkin navigable for pole boats from Wilkesborough down to this place. We would take this occasion to remind the people of Rowan, Davie and Davidson, that there is to be a Convention of delegates repre. senting the Counties interested in the improve- ment of the Yackin, held at Doweltown, in Yadkin county, on the 2d June next. It is unnecessary to urge the great impor. tance of this work. if the people are disposed to: take hold of it. Rowan.should by all means send delegates to that Convention, and in the prosecution of the scheme. Next week being Superior Court in this County. affords a favorable opportunity for the selection of delegates ; and hoping it may meet the views of the public, we would mention Monday, immediately after the adjournment of Court, as a suitable time for holding a meeting for this purpose. PLANK ROAD—NEW PRESIDENT. At a meeting of the Directors of Salis- bury and Taylorsville Plank Road Com- pany, held subsequent to the adjournment of the general meeting of the Stock-hold- ers on the 5th inst, Mr. Wau. Murray re- signed his office of President of the Com- pany, and also withdrew from the Board of Directors. His place as Director was filled by the election of L. Buackxmen, Esq., who was afterwards chosen President. and is now engaged in the management of the affairs of the Company in that ca- pacity. It is due to Mr. B. to say that he has accepted this appointment at a sacri fice, both of peconiary advantage and personal comfort. The fact is, he bas un- dertaken the performance of a task which is onbeard of in the annals of road build- ing, bat rendered almost imperative by N. C. Argus. the action of the Company at its late meet- though not boating more than half that time; | in every way manifest what interest she feels reluctance consented to try. How he will succeed remains to be seen. We have no doabt be will do as moch of bis work, and do it as well, as any man that could be found, and we believe will exceed his own expectations. But we fear the fruits of a policy so penorious as to require the crowding upon one man the responsibili ty of so many different offices. Whig Meeting. —The Whigs of Rowan will meet io Convention at the Courthouse, on Tues- day the 18th inst., for the purpose of nomina- ting suitable candidates for the next. General Assembly. It is hoped there will be a géneral attendance of the Whigs from every part of the County. The Free Schools in this Town are now. in operation. There is still some room ir. both the male and female departments ; and those having children to send and have not yet start. ed them, are requested by the Committee-men to do so. “ Where there is will, there is a way.”—~ We have some few patrons who are ve- ry prane to make excuses for not paying in advance. They always wish to be con- sidered as advance payers, and will com- plain very much if the extra half dollar is charged when they fail to pay. They will tell us, “I had no way to send it--I ex- pected to see you at Couri—~or at that celebration—or to send it by Mr. Careful, or Mr. Oblige,&c!’ All very good. But our object in speaking of these persons just now, is simply to state to them that we have jast received a $2,50 gold piece by letter, from California! and by the saine means of communication have re- turned an answer. By letter !—mark that. [tis a very safe way to send money ifa man will be sure to have a witness to the mailing, and to the fact that the letter is properly directed. Try it, friends. Southern Literary Gazette.—We are in debted to Mr. Wm. B. McCreight, for se- veral specimen Nos. of a really beautiful Weekly Literary Journal, by Walker, Richards & Co. of Charleston,S. C. Itis decidedly the most attractive work of the kind published in the Southern States.— We have glanced over some of these Nos. and find them richly freighted, and elegantly illustrated, JOHN KERR. The nomination of this able champion of the Whig party as our Standard-bearer in the ensu- ing Gubernatorial campaign, has infused a new spirit in our ranks. Our friends are sounding the notes of preparation, and buckling on their armor for the contest. We have a good cause —a tried and faithful leader—and we must suc ceed. The action of the Convention has spread alarm among the Democratic forces. They ex. pected to see our lines broken by dissension and sectional strife, and hoped to gain an easy vic. tory over us; but beholding us now united, and advancing upon them in solid phalanx, with our arme ready for battle, they are struck with dis. may. The ‘Standard’ begins to betray great trepidation already. It sees the danger ahead but is at a loss how to avoid it. Like the boy in the thunder storm, that could’nt pray, the ed itor is very sure ‘something must be done.’— | It will never do to let John Kerr pass—some. thing must be said against him—and what does the ‘Standard’ charge 1 why, that John Kerr is the favorite of Messrs. Badger and Stanly !— Well, we guess we Lad better admit that, for the fact is he seems to be a favorite of the Whigs generally. What Messrs. Badger and Stanly bad to do with the nomination, or wheth- er Mr. Kerr is or is not their favorite, we im. agine makes little difference! ‘The first Thurs. day in August next will most probably prove he is a considerable favorite with the peuple. Another grave accusation in effect, is, that the ‘Standard’ can’t tor its life tell whether Jobn Kerr is or is not in favor of Free Suffrage, ‘Is he for or against ?’ays the ‘Standard.’ We suppose in due course of time Mr. Kerr will answer this momentous query to the entire sat. istaction of this perplexed Jouroul. We do not think it difficult to solve, but we do hope the locos will give our nominee time to accept the | nomination before they insist upon answers to | their grave questions. Jobo Kerr is not the man to conceal his opin. ions ; no ‘noise and confusion’ will prevent him making himself heard ; noexamination or cross | examination by ingenious querists will bewilder | him. He will speak out soon enough for the | Democratic Press—and that too to their sore discomfiture.—Concord Mercury. } GEN. CASS. Amidst all the noise and confusion which ex. ists in the Democratic camp, we think that we can discern signs that, in spite of the Virginia Democratic National Convention. Should this prove to he the result, we shall be not a little curious to see the course, which will be taken by certain Journals that we wot of in i The Richmond Enquirer, with the ¢ old fox, bas taken especial pains to position And be able to support the nominee, No matter who the d—1 he may be. It only asks to hnow who gets the nomination, and it will go him like a thousand brick, either with a platform or without a platiorm. It is ready to swallow Case with his internal im. provement affinities and with bis own iuterpre. tation of the Nicholson letter, which he said the Democracy of the South were too stupid to understand, or “Old Buck” with bis high ta- riff notions and all his old federal sins, or the young giant of the West who is e in a scheme to plunder the old States of the Public Domain, and stands ready to commit the coun. try, at the bidding of the adventurer, Kossuth, tothe wars striles and intrigues of the old world. Neither of these will come amiss to the Enqui- rer. But some of the Enquirer's contempora. ries bave got imitated its warinese and will be in a sad pickle if Case should be the nominee. = | He acknowledges the kindness of the Pres = ‘vereign will, itis her right, without let, a a ld ‘they go?

We know Mr. Kerr personally, and are sure that a better and stronger nomination could not have been made. He combines with an un exceptionable character, sound judgment, ex- tensive acquirements, brilliant oratory and win. ning manners. We need not add that he is as true a Whig as ever lived—for none other than such a Whig could be the nominee of the true hearted Whigs of the Old North State.—Pe- tersburg Intelligencer. The Goldsborough Republican objects to the resolution passed by the Whig convention on the subject of amendments to the Constitution by a Convention, that “it must of necessity lead to the holding of a Convention.” Why of necessity? Of course because a majority of the people are supposed to be in favor of it.— That is the only alternative on which the Whigs proposed to have a Convention. Now we desire to ask the Republican, wheth- er, if a majority of the people should prove to be in favor of a Convention, it would oppose the call of one? And if so, whether it considers it republicanism to refuse to carry out the will of a majority of the people ?1—Fay. Observer. THE SOUTH CAROLINA CONVEN- TION. This body adjourned on the 30th alt. af. ter a session of five days. The only im- portant business transacted was the pas- sage of the following resolution and Ordi- nance. Resolved, by the people of South Caroli- na in Convention, That the frequent vio- lations of the Constitution of the United States by the Federal Government, and its encroachments upon the reserved rights of sovereign States of this Union, espe- cially in relation of slave. amply justify this State, so far as any duty or obliga- tion to her confederates is involved, in dis- solving at once all political connection with her co States, and that she forbears the exercise of that manifest self: govern- ment from consideration of expediency on- i State to secede from Federal Union. We the people of the State of South Car. olina, in Convention assembled, do declare and ordain, and it is hereby declared and ordained, That South Carolina, in the exercise of her sovereign will, as an independent State, acceded to the Federal Union, known as the United States of America, and that in the exercise of the same so- hindrance, or molestation from any pow- er whatsoever, to secede from the said Federal Union; and that for the sufficien- cy of the causes which may impel her to such separation, she is responsible alone, under God, to the tribunal of public opin- iom among the nations of the earth. Ata meeting of the -* Young Guard,” held in New York on Saturday evening. the follow. ing resolution was adopted ; Resolved, That the Young Guard, knowing no North, no South, no East, no West. but only the Union and the whole Union, and discarding all faction, believe the nomination of Millard Fillmore for the Presidency, by the Whig party will be an assurance of victory to that party, and that they will, in their organization and in- dividually, use every legitimate means within their power to insure his nomination and elec- tion. This is the right way to talk it up. Here we have none of that muling and puling—such as “ Fillmore is our Favorite, but Scott is the strongest ’—but a plain, manly straightforward declaration for the man of their choice. AN AMBASSADOR IN A PET. We have received the following from a source which entitles it to credit. Ifit be true, Mr. Hulsemann exhibits almost as much weakness as Kossuth :—Rich. Republican. THE CHEVALIER AND MR. WEBSTER —INSULTING NOTE. WasHineTon, May 3, 1852. The Austrian Minister, Chevalier Hulse. mann, left here at 4 o’clock this afternoon to embark at New York for Europe.

It had four separate and distinct prongs, resembling the fingers and thumb; the thumb occupying the same position which it does on the human hand. Even the difference in the size and len of the prongs corresponded with that of the fingers.— Mountain Banner. ; white at yellow MOBILE. The Grand Jury of the United States Circuit Court of Mobile have reported, as an alarm ing fact, that the channel of the river in front of that city, is rapidly narrowing and gradually filling up.

We notice a Washington rumor afloat that directly after the organization of Baltimore Con. vention No. 1, a motion will be made that the claims of no candidate who has heretofore been put in nomination by the party and defeated, shall be considered by the Convention. This, it is supposed will receive the votes of the friends of all the Candidates, Gen. Cass except. ed, and thus throw him out of the ring. We suspect this motion has only been discussed, not agreed on ; and that its palpable personal. ity and unfairness will prevent its adoption.— Tribune. “ THE WORK GOES BRAVELY ON.” The preliminary meetings, \o make arrange. ments for the popular demonstration in favor of Millard Fillmore for President, continue to be of the most cheering character. ‘They are well attended and the sentiment which generally prevails is such as to insure that unity of action which is all that is necessary to make the forth. coming manifestation one worthy of the Empire city, and worthy the Union, the Compromise and the Constitution. Many of the oldest sold- iers in the Whig ranks are in attendance, shoul der to shoulder with the Young Guard, while on all hands the utmost enthusiasm and good feeling are manifest. The day for the meeting is not yet resolved on, but we understand jt will be early next week. Amongthe speakers ex- pected this evening are Hon. Willis Hall and James W. Geward, esq.—N. Y. Express. she Whig Caucits.—The Washington Cor respondent ot the N. Y.

Never re gret what is irretrievably lost. 2. Never expose your disappointment to the world. 3. Always speak of your friends, but of your enemies speak neither good nor evil. FOR THE WATCHMAN. Sweet land of my birth, and dear home of my childhood, I will love thee! while reason her empire maintains ; With thy wide spreading fields, and thy sweet scented greenwood, And clustering wild-vines, that cover thy plains. Thy deep shady vales, and high towering mountains, And health giving breezes that waft from thy hills ; Thy pure gushing streams that break forth from their fountains, And gently flow on in soft murmuring rills. But where, tell me where, is the friends of my boyhood, ‘Or where are those parents I once lov’d so dear !— That neat little cottage that stood by the great road, And kind social comrades I used to meet there! They are gone! they are gone! where the green grass waves o’er them ; Their spirits have risen in their flight far above ; And I a poor wanderer, live to deplore them, And mourn for the friends that I still fondly love, Statesville, April 1852.

HAVE established a school near Andrew's Mills, in Iredell county, for the education of females.— The plan will be somewhat different from most other schools now in operation in this part of the country: In addition to the usual instruction given in schools, I propose to cgnnect with this Institution various depart- ments in theMight branches of the aris, together with a complete system of housekeeping. The object is not only to school the pupils, but to fit them to enter at once, and successfully, upon the active duties of life, fully qualified to maintain themselves in an honorable way- Tt is proposed to receive into this school (a limited nom- ber at present) pauper children, or the children of such persons as are not able to pay the charges. The pa- rents or guardians of those who have means, will be charged $2 50 per session of five months. Board can be had on very favorable terms.

O the Masonic Frarernrry in North Carolina :— At the last communication of the Most Wor- shipful Grand Lodge it was Resolved, That each Ma- son in the State, both resident and active, be, and he is hereby most earnestly requested by the Grand Lodge of North Carolina to transmit, as soon as possi- ble, to Brother A. T. Jerkins of Newbern, C. W. D. Hatchins, of Raleigh, William Swaim, of Greensbo- rough, or E. Myers, of Salisbury, as may be most con- venient, the sum of $5, more or less, for the speedy erection of St. John’s College, the receipt whereof will be weekly announced in the papers published in the aforementioned places. Brethren, with confidence of success, I appeal to your liberality in behalf of this enterprise, the impor- tance of which has been fully established by the Grand Lodge, and the general concurrence of the Brethren throughout the State. While enough has already been done to encourage the hope of success, and evince its entire practicability, much yet remains to be done to render this success certain, and even to prosecute un- remittingly the measures already commenced. And yet it is confidently believed, that the aid which you are able to render will be amply sufficient to accom- plish all this, and that speedily. Upon your action then as Masons, depends the success of an enterprise which promises the richest benefits to the cause of Masonry and of humanity in general. Some of our Lodges have contributed promptly and nobly to this work, and we only ask your careful consideration of the subject, con- vinced as we are that nothing more is needed to secure your cordial co-operation in a favorable and early re- sponse to this appeal. Remember that in this asin ev- ery other social movement, harmony is its strength and support. Iam Respectfully and Fraternally yours, A. T.

So it fel] out that Coldchisel’s wife was wont tq sigh for more of such ‘ur-le-burbs and kick. shaws than the limited and hard-earned income of her lord and master could at- ford. This fact cansed the harmony of the smith and his wife’s marriage music to jingle out of tune-—ergo, they come to words, and precious near blows! A neighboring shop keeper had for some time, been casting sheep's eyes at the fair wife of the sledge hammer and anvil ; and finally, the wife and the shop-keeper got pretty intimate.

The village was hushed in sleep—quiet reigned witb- put; bat within the bosom of Coldchisel burned a rage of the most fiendish passion, and in his band swang 9 two-pound ham- mer! The tape cutting gentleman cut hig stick, bolted, dug out, ran as fast his légs and feet could carry him. He led off benatifully, but, though he was more nimble on his pins than his stal wart com- petitor, and knew each hook and crook ofthe village well, his competitor was far better hottgm, and in course of the first grand round of the village so gained on the relaxing efforts of Yardstick, as to con- vince him that bis chance of escape was growing beautifully, or fearfully less!

The child was told she must not repeat the prayers taught her by ber mother; and her head was filled with shocking ideas of her parents as accursed heretics. The boys were repeatedly taken to a con- vent, and told not to listen to their parents in this matter of religion. Presents were given them, and everything promised them | it they would come there and be baptized. | Oo Friday last, the eldest boy was missing | at dinner. Nothing could be heard of | him. The domestic, whose duty it is to’ keep watch of the children, denied all | knowledge of where the boy was. | C’s suspicions were aroused upon remem. | bering that she bad seen the woman whis- pering to the child that morning. - The | younger boy then guessed “that his bro- ther might be at the convent.” Our minister, Mr. Cass, was immedi- ately informed of the state of things; and taking the younger boy with him, set off to search for the missing one. The Su perior and the priests at the convent stout. ly denied having seen anything of the lad ; but the younger one still “guessed” that he must be there, and Mr. Cass persisted in looking still furtber through the con- yent premises. He was finally taken to & passage into a house adjgining the con vent, a servant ranning on before. As he came near the door of the room, he beard a noise of a good deal of conversation within, and felt convinced that the boy must be there. On entering, there sat a priest and a man and woman at their din- ners, and there, too, was a vacant seat.— They allghowever, denied knowing any- thing of the boy. Mr. Cass then annoup- ced who he was, and assumed a menac- ing tone to the priest, and in quick time the boy was Jed out from the addon ing chamber. The lad said they had told him he must not think of his parents—that they were like dogs, and had no religion, and that ba ap g° to be!l if be did not beeome a Catholic; that he might stay in the convent, and that the Pope would take care of him!

There was once a time when the continental Congress, feeling themselves insecure in Phil- adelphia, adjourned to a small town to the west. ward, distant from the capitol, about one bun. dred miles. Of this, and its environs I wish to speak. ‘Though at the time of whieh I am wri- ting a small and rather insignificant place, it has now grown up.to be a large, enterprising, beautiful and delightful town. The old Court House in which the wisdom of the nation as- sembled to deliberate and devise ways and means for the liberation of our country from British tyranny, is now entirely demalished, and in ite etead another, of much larger dimensions and better taste, has been erected, occupying, not like the old one a central, but a side posi- tion. The Codorus, a large and beautiful stream of water, divides tht town into two very nearly equal portions, and sometimes too, in cases of {reshets, proves highly destructive of peace and property, to the great terror and consternation of old women and meids. The Baltimore and Susquehanna Rail road also passen through this place, and nothing has done more for its general improvement and increase in wealth and population than this road, a striking dem- onsiration of the utility, and an irrefragable ar. gument in favorof interna! improvements. Let the citizens of Salisbury, and other parts of the State, never rest satisfied until the * Central road is completed and in full operation. It is, lo @ great extent, the only hope for North Car. olina. It is true, those nobie- hearted men, by whose praiseworthy energies the road is now being built, may never themselves realize any extraordinary profits, yet the State will be hon. ored and improved, posterity enriched, and their children, in grateful acknowledgements, will rise up and call them blessed. There is much attention paid here to the ed- ucation of the young, there being in this place one College, several Academies, and numerous common schools, kept on the Akron sysiem, that is each scholar is classed according to his allainments, and attends bis appropriate school. This is, wihout doubt, a most excellent and very superior plan, and if some scheme could be con- trived to render this system feasible through the country. as itis in towns and villages, we might then reasonably expect the educational fund to accomplish that whereunto it was intended. If the reader will now accompany me down to the corner of the second square, in South George Street, I will show him one of the hand somest specimens of modern architecture he has perhaps ever seen. This is the Odd Fel. low’s Hall; erected a lew years ago. k isa very large building, four stories high. The first floor, being constructed for business, is occu- pied by merchants, mechanics &c. The second is a Town Hall, and a very capacious and con. venient one it is too. The third story is occu. pied, I believe by the Sons of Temperance, and the fourth is that, in which the Lodge meeis, in the still hour of the night, to confer and delib. erate, in profound secrecy. upon those things which make for their eternal, external and in- ternal welfare. As for the good people of this town, I can only say, they are industrious and enterprising, well educated and rnfined, espe cially the ladies whoexcel in beauty and grace, taste and accomplishments, and though not prod- igal in dress, yet neat and tidy as fairies. It is a perfect feast, on a cool summer evening, to stand in a prominent place, in main street, and view these charming creatures promenading up and down the town. If you follow one of them to her place of residence, you will find every thing so excessively neat and clean, so pure and in such pertect order, that, in spite of you, a kind of uneasiness seizes hold upon you lest, by a single touch, you soil a piece of furniture or some other useful or ornamental article.— Labor is by no means considered degrading in this section of country, or in this celebrated bor. ough, but, on the contrary it is esteemed hon- orable and highly necessary for the promotion of health and happiness. Every man, the rich- as well as the poor, labors, at least a part of each day with his own bands; and these fair. ies, above mentioned, the daugnters of the. wealthiest citizens, and upon whom, trom their appearance on the street you might think the sun had never shone ; if you visit them in the early part of the day, you will find them engag- ed, not only in sewing, but in all those other more menial domestic duties, in which many who call themselves ladies, would think it de- grading to be employed. These are the girls for me: Give me the wife that can act both the lady and the maid, one that possesses every accomplishment requisite for mingling in the best society, as well as every qualification nec. essary forthe proper mapagement of culinary Such women make the “American Why chanie stand upon an Is there any ' about his ; ‘ version of civil liberty, or the diminution of bu- man b 1 Ifnot, why then should a line of demarkation be drawn betwitt — 4 labors, and the maa who does not. y verily, none but fools, and coxcombs.make such 2 dis- tinction. .

How little real comfort is manifest in most of our towns and villages; neglected streets, muddy lanes, filthy allies and pavements, ob horror ; upon which fou must be afraid to walk lest you chuck your foot against a big stone or stump and presently measure your length on the ground ; these are only some of the disgusting things with which you meet in nu- merous would be thought, respectable towns. Not so in the town of which I have been speak. ing. Here they have side walks, sixteen or more feet wide, carefully leveled down and beautifully paved with the best of brick, and kept constantly as neat and clean as a floor.— Here jhe lover in his nightly strolls, may gaze at the stars to his heart’s content without ever endangering his “ nose ” or bis two “ big toes.” Let us now ascend to the observatory and takea brief view of the surrounding coupiry.@ A beau- tiful undulating surface with here and there a slight elevation, orchards, wheatfields, mead. ows or clover fields and rivulets, interspersed with, here and there, a lovely grove of oaks above whose towering tops the curling smoke is seen to rise, indicating the abode of the husbandman. ‘These are some of the objects which present themselves to the eye of the be- holder; and should be bave the curiosity to know the value of that highly improved land, upon which he observes the wheat and clover growing so lusuriantly, the answer is from one hundred and fifiy, to two bunadred dollars per acre. So much for the spirit of improvement among farmers, and their untiring industry.— And now, dear reader, if you are satisfied, we will descend to terra firma and leave you to your own meditations.

Dear Watcuman :—California is a queer country ; a native tree producing foreign fruit. It is a mystery ; and is as full of whims and freaks, and rowdy tricks as a young maniac.— It is a riddle—an enigma ; a thing that always takes you unawares. [tis a sort of miniature earth, that embodies the peculiarities, pleas. ures, mishaps and wonders of almost every land and ocean locality in the world. It is an epitome, an abridgment of the world—a kind of magoifying- mirror in which is reflected the characteristics of all nations, and the phenomna of all nature. It is a bundle or cabinet of curiosities—a “ World’s Fair,” iu which may be found a con. tribution from nearly every nook and corner in the universe. It is a nosegay, composed of an equal number of sweet, riferous and offen. sive flowers, all regularly intermixed, and in- seperably bound together ; a conspicuous, thor. ny, beast of prey and serpentine highway that leads to fortune. It (to speak figuratively,) must have served at the time of creation as the trying——board upon which the Great Artist tested the color and qualities of bis paints, and upon which be made his experiments and shaped the charac ter and condition of the other States of the world; and hence it is, that, inone way or an- other, it bears a more or lees resemblance to and partakes of the nature of them all. It is ant Italy in the mildness and tempera- ture of the climate, a Siberia in cold fogs and snow; s Kentucky in calm and salubrious weather; an East India in frisky gales and monsoons.

[seLecTED Zor THE WATCHMAN. ] HEAR WHAT DE TOCQUEVILLE SAYS. “It is easy to show how much the suc- cess of the democratic republic in the United States is due to the religious feel. ing of the people. In Europe most of the disorder in society has jts origin in the domestic circle, and not far from the nup- tial couch. Frequently the European finds it difficult to submit to the powers of the state, only because tumultuous passions agitate his own dwelling, and that he is there a prey to the uneasiness of the beart and the instability of desires. In the Uni- ted States the residence of the citizen is the image of order and of peace. North America, according to the opinion of all who have visited it, is the country where the conjugal tie is most appreciated. This good state of morals in America has its origin in religious faith. Religion would probably be powerless to restrain man in the presence of the temptations with which he is assailed by fortone ; but it reigns supreme over the mind of woman ; and it is woman who forms public mor. als. As long as Americans shall pre- serve the severity of their moral conduct, they will preserve the democratic repub- ic. If their morals become relaxed, if they become vicious, it will be because reli- gion bas been deprived of its authority. Instead of a free nation, there will be a degraded mass, governed by the corrupt rich. Republican Institutions may exist in name, but the name will become a de- ception. It will be like the Roman re- public, which existed in name under the Ceesars, but the reality of which had com- pletely disappeared. In the United States, religion also gov- erns the mind, restrains it in_its aberra- tions, and thus becomes a guaranty of the duration of the republic. Every body in the U. S. professes religious dogmas. The small number who are not sincere chris- tians, affect to be so, lest they should be suspected of having no religion: Chris- tianity, therefore, has an external adhe- sion which is unanimous. The result of this is, that in the moral world every thing is fixed, although the political world may appear to be entirely given up to discus- sion and rash experiments. The human mind in the United States has not before it an unlimited space; however bold it may be, it feels that there are insurmount- able barriers before which it must stop. Hence it happens that in all classes there is a certain restraint, either voluntary, or the result of force.” THE SANDWICH ISLAND VOLCANO The volcano at Hawaii, Sandwich Isl- ands, beats Yesuvius and Hecla in the grandeur and extent of its eruptions. We have the following further account of the last eruption in the Polynesian, received { by the recent California mail: “ We have received verbal information in regard to the state of the eruption as late as to the 6th instant, from the leeward side of Hawaii. At that date the light from the flowing current was as bright as it.had been at any former period, soffi- cient to enable a person to pick up a nee- dle from the ground at midnight; from which fact the inference is drawn that the current is still owing on toward the sea. “The current seems to have broken out through an old fissure, absut one third down the side of Mauna Loa, on the north west side, and not from the old crater on the summit, called Mokuoweoweo.— The altitode of the present eruption is about ten. thousand feet above the level of the sea, and from the bay of Hilo (By- ron’s Bay) must be some fifty miles. If it succeed in reaching the ocean at the point su after having filled up all the ravines, gulches, and inequalities of a ve- ry broken country, it will undoabtedly be one of the mest extensive eruptions of modern times.” a A correspondent of the Polynesian gives the following description : “ By an accorate ppaneremens ff ne normous jet of glowing lava, where! fi fo ty side of Mauna Leo, it was ascertained 10 be five hundred feet high! This was upon the —- that it was thirty miles distant. e are ofthe opinion that it was greater dis- tance, say from torty to sixty miles.

A rumor has reached us that a small native village has been destroyed. but of this we have no authentic intelli- gence.” Storm at the West.—A despatch receiv- ed last evening from Cincinnati says the Western papers contain accounts of great destruction of property by the storm of last Friday night. The town of Leaven- worth, Indiana, was nearly destroyed ; forty houses were blown down, some of them substantial brick buildings, with thirteen inch walls, two or three persons were killed, and a number badly injured. In various other places houses, fences, and orchards of valuable fruit trees were destroyed. At Cleveland, Ohio, it com- meneed on Friday afternoon, and was ac- companied with torrents of rain, and hail of the size of bird’s eggs, which played sad havoc with window glass. At Lan- caster, Ohio, the storm set in between 9 and 10 o’clock at night, and lasted but fifteen minutes. It was accompanied by thunder and lightning, and blew down and unroofed a number of houses, carried off bridges, and destroyed all the fencing in the surrounding courtry. At Cincin- nati the green houses were nearly demol- ished by the hail, as far as the glass was concerned ; and the plants and grape vines seriously injured. Heavy squalls of wind followed the storm, which unroofed the Methodist church at Mount Auburn, be- sides other damage. WHAT Is A KOSSUTH BOND? A gentleman who got “ sucked in” with one the other day, to the amount of one dollar, has kindly loaned (not given) it to us, that we may determine to what spe- cies of humbug it belongs.

At the bottom, on the left, is a full portrait of Kossuth, with his hat and fea- ther; on the right the personification of Liberty. The filling up is as follows: “ HUNGARIAN FUND. “On demand one year after the establisb- meat in fact of the InperenDENT Huncarian Government, the holder hereof shall be enti- tled to One Dotxar, payable at the National Treasury, or at either of its Agencies at Lon- don or New York, or to exchange the same in sums of Fifiy Dollars or over, for certificates bearing four per cent. interest, payable in ten” eqval annual instalments from one year afier said event. “L.

If he did promise that it should be paid by the Hangarian Govern- ment, they would be no more bound by his promise than we are.

We learn from the Lancaster Ledger, that on Saturday last,a fatal affray occurred at the mill of Mr. John Reaves, in that district. It appears that two young men by the name. of Bowers, went to the mill, and while there a difficulty took place between Reaves and Thos. . Bowers while Archibald Bowers a brother pres- © ent, dismounted from his horse and threw astick or piece of sawed timber at Rea ’ Reaves got in possession of the same, and beat A. Bowers so that he died in about sit hours. Reaves has since surrendered himself to the proper authorities, and is now in close confine- ment. There being no animosity existing be- tween Reaves, and the deceased-previous to this affair, it is presumed to be the work of un- goversable passion. Terrible Tragedy at Danville, Ky.—A bloody street encounter occurred at Danville, Ky., @ few days ago, between Dr. Frank Cowan, aad” two brothers named Shelby, byte rt an annonymous letter receiv Shelby, the parties had pistols. Cowan first received a ball through the fleshy part of the leg, froma five barrel revolver, fired by Joseph Shelby, and then fired three times at Shelby, the last taking effect in the neck, the ball passing en- tirely through, and falling down in his shirt bosom. Shelby staggered in a store where bis brother Altred was and fell dead. The latter then seized a bowie-knife, advanced on ; and threw itat him without effect. wen then pursued Alfred with a bowie knife ia . when several persons interiered, and no fur- ther harm was done.

Should Fillmore telfo enn selected by the Whig Balti Conventiqn, he will be, jpported warmly and zealously by every su true Whig, and many true Democrats, in gth Carolina, question with regard to amend- ments to the Constitutian is placed upon the true and only Republican ground.— ‘It. must be borne in mind, too, that the Convention was composed of delegates principally fram the Kastern portion of the State. There were no delegates trom the extreme West ; and this nuble con. dact of our Eastern Whig brethren will nat fail to bind us to them with still strong- ef ties. We look upon it as a direct of- fét upon their part ta meet us in the only spirit in which Cons:itutions can be form- ed or amended—inthe spirit af compro- Ipise. _ Upon this Convention question, studious efforts have been made to misrepresent the state of feeling inthe West. We are represented as endeavoring to obtain the advantage of the EKast—of striving to de prive itbem of a portion of their just poli- tical power—of attempting to attain the ascendancyéin the Legislature, that we may tax the East and expend the maney for our own benefit. Nothing is further from the truth. We will meet our bre- thren of the Rast in Convention in the true spirit which should subsist between brethren af the same State, and whose interesis should be identical. We will la ber with them for. the benefit of the whole State, We will ask nothing they are not willing to concede. Have we ever fail- ed: to do justice to the East? Let our votes be examined on the journals, and it will be found that Western members have voted the appropriatians for improvements inthe East. Not a dollar would have gone aut of the Treasury withaut their sanction. And in the face of these facts, how can we be charged with hostility to the East? | du not pretend to deny that crimination and recrimination may pro- duce, in process of time, an alienation of feeling between the two sections of the State. Let us prevent that by meeting to- gether now, and adjusting. upon the altar of patriotism, al! our differences. e mode of amending the Constitution by the Legislature, is. of all things, to be avoided by the East—if an amendment is to be made because a candidate for Gov ernor, advocaling it, is elected. Amend. ments are made, in that case, by a bare Majority of voles, and having in the West a. darge majority of voters, amendments will be forced through the Legislature, and ibe East will be eventually entirely Prasiraie. Constitutions are formed to pro- tect minorities—the majority can take care of themselves. The only safety of the East, and the only safeguard of the rights ot,all, is to snaich the Constitution from the hands of designing demagogues, atid let the people, free trom party excite ment and party feeling. take it into their own cate. “The people are cupnble of self government.” is the doctrine of the Whigs.

Time is wearing away, and the day for the ussembledge of the Whig National Convention is but little more than a month digtant. Gen. Scott's position, or rather waat of position, continues the same, and, We suppose, will continue the same until ‘he temination is made. In such an event it becomes the Southern Whigs to reflect upon’ what should be their course in the National Convention. Upon this sub ject different opinions are held. Some thik ‘the true policy of the Southern Whig: is not to go into the Convention at all wuile others think the proper course would be to attend the Convention and demand that, before the balloting is gone joto, a platform shall be laid down, and thal, iu.the event that this is rufused. or that2 platiorm, not containing the Com. promise, is laid down to withdraw in a body fiom the Coavention. Our own opin- jomis decidedly the best coutse. Should tie» Boothern Whigs refuse to atiend the Convention, they will be surrendering ev- eeything to the North, without even mak- jug en effort to save the nationality of the party. By attending the Convention and denvanding a platform, they will, ao mat jeei what may be the issue, have the eon- ution of having done their duty ; and jiPagefusal to give the breaks up’tie Whig party of the Union, as it namely will, the skirts of the South will be clenr of igipation in the act.

Instead of beating about the bush and wasting 4 torreat of words, why not give a sim- ple answer, yesorno0? Perhaps it was unwise for Southern Whige to ask the question, per- haps they had better have been satisfied that there was vo danger of disturbance from the North ; but whether so or not it is useless to inquire, because the question has been put, and now—it must be answered. ‘There can be no univn,no hearty cv operation between the North and Svuth until it is answered, and without such union and co operation it will be betier to sqve our breath, our time and our money, and let the election go by detault. ie The Jou:nal then examines the subject com pletely and says; In conclusion we repeat—the question must be answered! gud the answer may as well be prepared. |t will be brought up again in the National Convention, and if voied down, a large portion jf not all of the Southern members, will withdraw. The great Whig party will be di- vided into two sections—iis strength broken, iis usefulness destruyed. For ourselves, we bave nv hesitation in saying that the Whigs of the North are tired of this slavery agitation—that, asa body, they are content with the disposition which has been made of it, and that they will frankly say as much when they meet their Southern brethero in Baltimore on the 16tb of June. This ie the spirit which will ensure success. There is not, we are glad in believing, any in tention among any large portion of the Whigs of any section of the country, to disturb the compromise measores. There should then be na hesitation in avowing that fact. It is due to frankaess and honesty and that it should he a vowed ; and those who shrink from avowing it may not complain if they are not regaided as sound on the subject. But we share iu the pleasure of the Journal when it says, that the Whig National Conven tion will settle the point. ‘The question will there be confideaotly propounded—it will there be confidently propounded—it will be frankly answered, and the union and the triumph ot the Whig party in the Presidential election se cured. Placing themselves on that national ground—showing themselves to be true mem bers of that party, which knows no north and no soutb, no cast aad no west, but only the un- jon of the States, and the constitution by which that union is formed and its blessings secured— and thus proving by their cordial and manly a vowal of their sentiments that their political principles barmonize, and that they are breth- ren of the same political faith—doing this, the man nominated by the Whig National Conven tion for President will deserve, and will receive the vote of the whole Whig party, and will be elected.— Baltimore Patriot. INTERESTING FROM TEXAS. By advices trom Galveston the 80th ul- timo, we learn that the first direct ship. Ments of cotton from that port to Europe bad just taken place. The barque Mil ford, with 1,300 bales, had cleared for Cowes; and the ship Wharton was load ing for Havre. Gen Garland, Col. May, Col. Chapman, Maj. Morrison and Maj.

Editors—Ou Sunday last, a man who says his name is Charles Terry, and a citizen of Vermont, was arrested here | upon a charge olf advising certain slaves | to abscond from their masters. Upon his | examination, on Monday, before the Jus- tices, he was committed to jail, there to | await his trial.

The Washington correspondent, “Inde- pendent,” of the Philadelphia North Amer- ican writes— It may now be asserted, with entire con- fidence, that Gen. Scott, under no condi. dition of circumstances, will change the ground which he bas occupied since his name has been brought forward conspic- uvously in connection with the Presidency. and will write no letter concerning pub lic questions unless the Whig Convention should offer him a nomination. This is understood to be the finality of his posi tion, as declared by his most intimate and accredited friends, and upon the authority of andoubted assurances. THE PRINTERS’ NATIONAL CON. VENTION.

The Whigs of Rowan held a County Convention on Tuesday last, and nomina ted their candidates for the Legislature. Our former able Senator, J. A. Liuincton was nominated for the Senate ; and one of our former Representatives in the Commons. O. G. Foarp, Esq., was again brought upon the track, though much against his will. The place of A. H. Caupwe., Esq.. who it was understood would not consent to run, was supplied by the nomination of Capt. L. Trexer, of the Eastern part of the county. For fur ther particulars in regard to the action ot the Convention, we have only time, at prese :t,to refer our readers to the pro- ceedings published in another part of this paper. ** SUPERIOR COURT. EF Our Superior Court is in session this week, his Hon. Judge Battey, presiding.— Thus far, his Hon. bas had a pretty laborious time. The criminal docket was taken up on Monday, and up to the time of our paper going to press the Court was still engaged in the tri- al of criminal cases. [1 is: now in the midst of a trial of two negroes, a man and woman, one the property of Henry McHenry, and the other the property of Ruel McNeely. for the murder of a negro slave, the property of Joseph Gilles pie. The morder is charged as having been committed on the night of the 24th, or the morn. ing of the 25th of December last. On yesterday a negro slave, Joe, was put up on his trial for the murder of a man, alsu a slave, and both the property of Michael Fillhour. But afier the examination of witnesses, the So lictor abandoned the prosecution, and the boy was discharged. the evidence clearly showing the homicide was committed in self defence. MR.

Brethren, with confidence of success, I appeal to your liberality in bebalf of this enterprise, the impor- tance of which has been fully established by the Grand Lodge, and the general concurrence of the Brethren throughout the State. While enough has already been done toencourage the hope of success, and evince its entire practicability, much yet remains to be done to render this success certain, and even to prosecute un- remittingly the measures already commenced. And yet it is confidently believed, that the aid which you are able to render will be amply sufficient to accom- plish all this, and that speedily. Upon your action then as Masons, depends the success of an enterprise which promises the richest benefits to the cause of Masonry and of humanity in general. Some of our Lodges have contributed promptly and nobly to this work, and we only ask your carefal consideration of the subject, con- vinced as we are that nothing more is needed to secure your cordial co-operation in a favorable and early re- sponse to this appeal. Remember that in this as in ev- ery other social movement, harmony is its strength and support. Iam Respectfully and Fraternally yours, A. T.

Where this Plaster is applied Pain cannot exist. These Plasters possess the advantages of being put up in air-tight boxes; hence they retain their full vir- tues in all climates. This celebrated Pain Extractor has been so exten- sively used by Physicians and the people in general, both in this country and Europe, that it is almost need- lese to say any thingabout it. Yet there may be some who stand in need of its healing powers who have not yet tried it. For their sakes we will simply state what it has done in thousands of cases, and what it will do for them when tried. JEW DAVID’S OR HEBREW PLASTER IN NORTH CAROLINA. Messrs.

At this time my attending phy- sician prescribed the “ Hebrew Plaster,” and it acted like a charm ; the pain lefi me, and J slept more than half the night, and in three days I was able to ride out.

The’ following is related as a fact, having * - ‘ * ea ernie in the State of Connec- “A man in rather indifferent circumstan- ces” by a large family, entire- ly out of meat; had recourse to the sheep- fold of his neighbor (n wealthy farmer) tor elicf.. The neighbor having a flock of slieep did not perceive he had lost, any, until one of finest of the flock, very large and fat, was missing—and counting his sheep, found he bad lost several. Unable te account for this extraordinary loss, he resolved a few nights after to watch.— Aboot midnight he observed an ancom- mon distarbance among the sheep, caused by the sudden appearance of a man dres- sed in disguise. Curiosity as weil to ob- serve the conduct of the person, as to find him oat, induced bim to be still. In the flock there was aram with whom it seems, the man was in the babit of con- versing as if he bad beetrthe actual awn- er of the sheep. ~ Well, My Ram,” says the nocturnal sheep-steale@i“ I'm come to boy another sheep; have®you any more to sell ?”— Upon which be replied all in person of the ram. “ Yes, 1 have sheep to sell.” By this time. the owner had discavered him to be one of his neighbors, “ What will you take for that large wether?” says the rchaser. “Four dollors,” replied Mr. m. “That is a very high price,” says the man: “pt as you are so good as ta wait for the pay, ]. think | willtake him.” “Well, Mr. Kam,” continued the hon- est sheep hunter, let us see how many sheep | bave bought of you.” If | am nat mistaken says Mr. Ram, this makes the fifth ;” and then went on to cast up the whole, and giving Mr. Ram a polite invi- tation to call upon him for bis pay, and bidding bim good night the man led the sheep home, while the owner: lay laugh. ing at novelty of the scene, as highly grat- ified as if he had received ample pay for the whole, A few nights afterward, when he supposed his neighbor was nearly aut of mutton, he caught the old ram, tied a little bag under his neck, and placed a piece of paper between his horns, on which he wgote in large letters, 1 Have CoMB FOR MY MONEY. (['nder the line, he footed up the whole amount of five sheep, exactly so his neighbor had done, as be fore related ; he then took the ram to his neighbor's, where he tied him near the door, and then went home. When the neighbor arese the next morning he was not a little surprised to find a sheep tied to his own door; bit it is beyond words to express his astonishment when he found it was the old Ram with whom he had been dealing so much in mutton, with his errand on his forehead and the amount of five sheep accurately made out as he had done a few nights befare in the person of the ram. Suttice it to say he obtained the money and tying it up nicely in the bag, and tearing the paper tram his horns, set the ram at liberty, who immediately ran home jingling his money, as if proud of accomplishing the object of his errand —to the no small gratification of the own- er.

The New York papers contain an ac- count of the preceedings of a meeting of the friends of Mr. Fillmore as a candidate for the Presidency, beld in New York on the 10th. The meeting was presided over by Danie! Lord, Esq., assisted by two han. dred Vice Présidents, in the list of whom we recognise many of the leading and most influential working Whigs ot New York. Letters were received frém ex Senator Clayton, of Deleware ; Senator Berrien, of Georgia ; Senator Brooke, of Mississippi; Hon. James T. Morehead, of North Caro- lina; and Hon. S. Martin, Representative of the thirty-first istrict of New York in Congress ; all approving of Millard Fill- more as the candidate of the Whig party for the Presidency in 1852. The address and Resolutions were read by the Hon. Mr. Beekman, of the New York Senate, and were adopted by the meeting by acclamation. They were as follows : ADDRESS. Fettow-Cririzeys; When on the 10th of July, 1850, an inscrutable Providence removed the ruler elected by the people, the nation was consoled by a thorough knowledge of the ability, integrity, pat- riotism truth, and statesmanship of his distinguished successor. Called thus un- expectedly to the Chief Magistracy, he found himself beset with difficulties of an extraordinary character. The whole land was rent with civil dissensions and differ- ing opinions, not only as between oppos- ing parties, but also each of the great po- litical divisions—severed by intestine con— flicts—all referring to the same all-absor— bing question. The great leader of our States, discharging all the duties ‘and ob- ligations of his trust’as a patriot and a Statesman, and hot as a partisan. RESOLUTIONS. Therefore, Resolved, That as Mittarp Fux. MORE, commencing life a poor boy, following upto early masbood a mechanical trade, edu- cating himself practically aod y by his own industry, and commencing. the practice of a profession in whichthe was hon- ored for his virtues, called by the people among whom he lived to represent them in both branches of the Legislature, and there exbibit- ing that integrity and ability whieh bave since characterized his career; by the same people elected to the national ‘councils, where he hae coatinued by their unqualified approval ; and ia the ever-memorable twenty-seventh Congress, made by the general voice of ihe representa. lives chairman of Commitiee of Ways and Means—be there, by his unwearied devotion during the most arduous session on record, by his firmness, discretion and ability, mainly con- tributed to the passage of that bill which res- cued the down trodden industry and bleeding interests of the country, and, in the place of wreck, laid the new and sure foundations of na- tional greatness and prosperity ; thence, by a majority of nearly 40,000, elecied Comptroiler of his own Siate, he discharged his duties with such marked distinction, and so brought order ‘| out of confusion, as to win from all classes un. qualified praise. Without the solicitation of himself or bis friends, be was unasimously nominated for the Vice Presidency. Thus of. fered as a peace-maker between the contending elements ol his own party, the force of his cha- racter and bis unimpeachable position recon- ciled antagonists, and, worthily united with General ‘Taylor, he shared the success of the campaign of 1848. Resolved, ‘That when called by Providence to enter upon the duties of President, we find him relying on the Almighty; and with an un- faltering trust iu the patriotism of bis country. men, invoking his fellew citizens to eustain bim; pressing onwards in the discharge of his high vocation, and under circumstances uf danger and peril tothe Republic, almost without a par. allel, * with signal ability and guceess,” restor- party, who may with propriety be called its father, had encunciated a mode of set— tlement, and aided by Webster and other leading spirits of the Whig party, having the hearty co—operation of Cass, and oth— er distinguished members of the Opposi— lion, they agreed substantially upon the plan of Henry Clay. During the lifetime of Genera! ‘Taylor all the antagonisms | ing peace to the land ; maintaioing, preserving, and defending the Constitution and the laws ; \browing everywhere the wegis of protection over the rights of our cvuntry and its citizens abroad; winning from all men and from all classes the meed of having so acted in his great office as to redound to the interest, the honor, and the glory of the nation; placing his Administration side by side with Washington's, Jefferson’s, and Madison’s; and in his own of the various parties cordially united in Opposition to the mode of adjustment | known to history as “The Compromise of | 1850.” It was well known that the Vice | } President gave to that Compromise his | cordial assent and consistent support.— | Succeeding to the Presidency at that cri- tical period when collision between the forces of a foreign State and the army of | the United States was impending, involv— | ing in its consequences, as was solemnly | believed by good men everywhere, the | existence of the Unien, Millard Fillmore, | passing thus to duties the most responsi— | ble, whose weight he felt to be almost) | crushing, calliug round him able and up-— | ews, | right statesmen concurring in his vi | hese | ing before God and man that he would | maintain the Constitution and execute the laws, by the use of every means confided | to bim by virtue of his high office—under | these circumstances the Compromise pas— sed, and, instantly approved, became the | law of the land. The effect produced was an anticipated, blessed. It removed from the arena of partisan and political strife the question of slavery, a forced is— sue, which not even the extremest aboli- tionist, nor yet the most ultra secessionist, | can make germain to the great charter of our liberties. It restored the representa— tives of the people to more legitimate pur— suits, directing their immediate attention to the vital interests of the people before neglected. Millard Fillmore found in his own breast and in the hearts of the mas— ses of his countrymen his reward. Every eye in the Union was turned to him. He ossessed the confidence and the regard of his fellow citizens generally.

We look upon agountry at peace and blessed; and now, when detractiun has ceased, when slander, ashamed, seeks the shelter of obscurity, whén neither ambition nor falsehood can more avail their ulterers, the nation turns to him as its chief and best benefactor. We, the friends of Mittarp Fittmore, may well express our proud ibanks to Henry Clay, who thus sanctifies our choice with his bearly and unreserved approval, bestowed upon one whom, he says, *‘has been tried, and found true, faith ful, honest, and conscientious.” Resolved, That as in 1851 we expressed the | voice of this city, when more than 40,000 of our citizens solemnly endorsed the Compro.- ' mise, and invoked the aid of our representa. lives then to effect its passage, so now we re- affirm our devotion to the great National Whig | party of principle, and declare our intention to abide by, and maintain, to the best of our abili- | ty, the Union, the Constitutiou, and the laws— ‘each and every part of them; and we here | proclaim that, through weal or wo, we will continue in this faith always—which should know difference of belief in any section of our broad and happy land. | Speeches were delivered on the occa- | _sion by the Hon.

MENT. The Anniversary of our National Inde- pendence is again approaching, when it is hoped that, as usual, it will be celebra- ted ina ming manner in every por- tion of our vast country. On this occa- sion, so deeply interesting to every Amer- ican heart, the memory of him who so signally aided in securing and perfecting that independence cannot but be warmly cherished, and his great and inestimable services duly appreciated and remember- ed. His coantrymen will then bave another opportunity of evincing their sense of the value of those services, and at the same time their gratitude and ven- eration for the greatest patriot that ever adorned the page of history. To this end the Board of Managers of the Washington National M ent Society respectfully suggest that collections be taken up , wherever the next Anniversary of our Na- tional Independence may be celebrated in aid of the great Monument now in pro- gress in the city of Washington; and, in in an especial manner, they would request clergymen of all nominations in the U. S. toaddressther respective congregations on this subject, and obtain from them such contributions as their patriotism and re- spect for the memory of WasHIncTon may induce them to makeg This duty, it is be- lieved, cannot be but a most pleasing and agreeable one, and their aid and co-ope- ration in this respect will be duly appre- ciated by all who take an interest in this noble undertaking. The next Fourth of July will fall on Sunday, and the clergy- men throughoat the coantry will thus have a favorable opportunity in their re- spective churches of rendering this patri- otic service to the Father of our Indepen- dence. The moneys which may be col- lected can be transmitted to the Hon. E. Whittlesey, the General Agent of the So- ciety at Washington. An admirable plan for obtaining fands | for this great object has been devised by | theEditor of the “ Southern Sentinel,” of | Louisiana, which I hope will be followed every where in the United States. The Mayor of Plaquemine, Dr. Hornsby. is, | perceive, about to carry it into effect at the next municipal election of that place and I learn that the Mayor of Washing- ton intends to adopt a similar plan at the approaching city elections. Subjoined is an extract from the Southern Sentinel on. the subject. GEO. WATTERSON, Secretary. Our Sucecestion.—In calling the atten- tion of the public, in our issue of the 10th ult., to the immediate and pressing want of funds to carry on and complete the magnificent Monument now being erected at Washington, it was our good fortune to propose a plan, at once simple, appro- priate, and patriotic, for obtaining the ne- cessary means. That plan was to pro- vide a suitable box at the polls on the election days of the present year, and to have inscribed upon it, in printed or paint- ed letters, “ Washington Monument Boz ;” | and immediately underneath, the follow- | ing line, appealing as it were to the heart \of the very voter: “ One Dime to the Memory of Washing- ton.” This plan would enable every citizen, however poor, to be on a level with his more fortunate or wealthier neighbor in contributing to do honor to a memory which is the common property of us all ; in transmitting to the latest posterity a time enduring marble memento of one who was “first in war, first in peace,” and should be “first in the hearts of bis countrymen”—the immortal Wasaincron. The appeal of the Washington Monament Association to the American People will find a hearty response in the bosom of ev- ery lover of his country. It surely arises from the subject not being duly consider- ed by the people that funds are so greatly needed for a purpose so noble. We trust that the plan we have pro- posed to raise the necessary funds to con- tinue the Monument. will meet with gen- eral approbation in the city, throughout the State, and, if possible, extend itself over the United States. It will be seen in another place that the first bor will be at the polls in the municipal election on Monday next. We trost that the gentle- man who has heretofore acted as agent and whose exertions in this patriotic creerned wit Kor emi- success, will eased with our a and that ewitt have suitable boxes prepared for the election in Jane to be placed at every precinct in the parish. cause bave been move in the House will be, a bill to give , Tedoe A ig meeting in Stanly appointed 20 Delegates to the same Convention ; cordially approved of the nomisation of Mr. Kerr, and of the resolutions adopted by the State Convention, and “ heartily endorsed the same in each and every par- ticular ;” and expressed a decided prefer- ence for Fillmore and Graham. The following resolation, as well as the above, was unaninously adopted : Resolved, That the Hon. W. P. Man- gum in opposing the nomination of Mill- ard Fillmore by the Whig National! Con- vention, has shown a reckless disregard to the will of the Whigs of North Carolina and this faithless conduct in his behalf meets with our unqualified disapproba- tion, The Whig Convention.—The Washing- ton Correspodent of the N. Y. Commer- cial writes to that paper as follows: “ Efforts were made as I learn, to cen- sure Mr. Mangom in the North Carolina Whig Convention, but entirely without effect.” This statement has not the slightest foundation. No direct censure of Mr. Man- gum’s course was thought of or attempted by the Convention, because such a course of action would have been improper.— But disapprobation of Mr. Mangum’s course was very strongly and generally expressed in private conversation, as well as, indirectly, by the unanimous adoption of the resolutions nominating Mr. Fill- more and insisting upon an unequivocal acknowledgement of the finality of the Compromise. We do not think there was one mem- ber in the Convention who approved of Mr. Mangom’s course.—Fay. Observer. THE PRESIDENT. In the Senate, on Friday. Mr. Pratt ad- verted toa rumor that Mr. Fillmore. while the presiding officer of that body, aware of the possibility that the casting vote on the Compromise measures might be thrown upon him, had determined to vote against them; and that he had, moreover, pre- pared a paper in advance, giving his rea- sons for the vote which he might be called upon to give. Mr. Pratt, oo the authori- ty of the President,contradicted this ramor as totally unfounded, and said that the President was during the whole period in which the measures were discussed, in fa- vor of them, and would have voted for them to secure their passage. A Few Specimens of “ Polite and Courte- ous Deportment.” We have on hand a report of speeches in the locofoco Convention. We may publish it in our next. We select for the present the following gems :-— 1. “ The Log Cabins of 1840 were used to gull the honest people of the country. —[Dick.] 2 “ When the Whigs got into power, they glutted upon the spoils of office.”— [ Dick. ] . 3 “ Gen. Taylor had not tallent enough to make a respectable Justice of the Peace There had never been a President so wholly incompetent to manage the Go- vernment.”—[ Dick.] 4 “Of all parties that ever existed, none had been so characterized by decep- tion and corruption as the Whig.”—| Dick.]} 5 “The Whig party practiced deception in the elections of Harrison and Taylor.” —[Rencher.] These are but a few sampels of the “polite and courteous deportment” of some of the Speakers. Yet, their Presi- dent thought the Whig party would do well to learn “ manners” from them !— Again, we say, deliver us from such teach- ers !—Ral. Register. The colored Rector of St. Philip’s P. E. col. ored Church, in this city, says the New York Courier and Enquirer, recently declined to read a colice in that church of a meeting to resist the Fugitive Slave Law. on the ground that it was a duty to obey the law. The vestry sub. sequently approved the course of the rector, only one person dissenting. ‘This is an example worthy of imitation by the raving abolitionists of some “ white congregations” we wot of.— We obtain our information from Frederick Douglass’ paper, a correspondent of which com- plains bitterly of this actiun. The Artesian Well in Charleston,—In reply to an inquiry as to the progress of the work on the Artesian Well in Charles- ton, the “ Courier” of that city replies that the well has been already excavated to the depth of between nine hundred and one thousand feet, and that Mr. Weldon, the operator, is now in Philadelphia await- ing the completion of twelve hundred feet of iron tube, to enable him to proceed in his descent, On the arrival of this Mr. Weldon will resume the work, with, as he states, every prospect of success. An itemizer, at an evening sewing party, re- ports tbat ove lady made the exc tion, “TI thought I have died!” ove bun- dred and tweaty-eight times; and she put the inquiry, “ Did you ever?” one bundred’ and thirty-seven times. #3 ie the struggle that neither , ' disparaging that of the other. This phrase, means @ ecramble for —is not only making sad havoc with the | r eats, and trifling with the public faith, but. seri. ously damaging the national character, aud rendesing democratic institutions a bye-word and a reproach among the uations.—Charles ton (S.

How many pérished has not yet been ascertained. ° Corn—Very ImporTant.—As many pét- sons will have thinned their cora before the May number of the Planter can reach them, we advise our readers now to leave a pait of their crop only partially thinned, for the use of the hogs. Let them leave at rate of an acre for every thirty hogs, the corn to be cut up and fed whole to the hogs, stalk and all, as soon as they have gleaned the harvest field, or before if they cannot be put into it. This is no theory—the best farmers in the State have practised it for years. It fattens hogs in the Summer, saves corn, and is both cheaper and betier than root crops. We have tried it for eleven years, and never regretted it. We shall speak of it agaia in May.—Southern Planter. From the Soil of the South. TO PICKLE BEEF, Mzesrs. Eprrors: The art of pickling beef is very important to every housekeeper, who prides herself on a good table, -but there may be some of your readers who have not ac- quired it. ‘To such, I can recommend/from long experience, the following simple rule, which I engage will make as nice pickled beef as ever was bought ia a nothern market: Put the beef in clear culd water and let it soak twenty-four hours, to draw out the blood. Then let it drain before putting in the brine.— Take one gallon of salt to eight gallons of wa. ter; half a pound of salipeter; one quart of molasses ; one pint of sugar. Boil aod skim it. When perfectly cool, pour it over the beef. This is enough to save one large quarter of beef, It the weather is warm, add one quart of salt'to the above mixture. E. J. MR. KERR IN THE FIELD.

Gentiexen; I had the honor to receive, this morning, your very respeciful and kind in. vitation, in behalf of the citizens of Plymouth, to- meet them on Wednesday, on the occasion of the visit of Governor Kossuth, io your an- cient and distingvished town. | reget to say that the accident to you whick. refer, though not likely to be attended by permanent evil consequences, was yet such as will necessari- ly oblige me to remain at home for some days to come. Your guest is an exile who has filedirom bis native land in consequence of the result of political struggles, Assach be has been received of this country by the constituted authorities to the General Government and many of the State governments, as well as by large masses of the people in those parts of the country which he has visited. It is no doubt true, as you st, that he must feel strong emotions while standing on the spot where our pilgrim fathers landed. They too were exiles, having left their homespand all that was dear to them in their native land, that they might enjoy, on an unknown shore, and in the midst of a savage wilderderness, the blessings of religious liber. ty, and mild and free institutions of civil gov- ernment. ‘The landing itself, connected with its object and the circumstances accompany. ing it, will not lail to excite his sympathies and sensibilities; the results which have flowed from it in the course of the two hundred and thirty years which have since gone by, will be aure to engage. his regard and admiration, and hie mind, ardeat and enthusiastic as it is, may well st r under his view of the future, if he shall allow his thoughts to wing their flight in- to the midst of ages and ages yet to come. Nothing human can be absvlutely certain of continuance, but we, and those who shall come alier us, from generation to generation, shall maintain the leading principle upon which our institutions are founded, and according to which, the government has been administered trom its earliest days, we may hope for as much perpetuity of our political blessings as may fall to the lot of man. The first of these main principles undoubtedly is, the maintenance of liberty and equal rights and entire liberty of religious opinion, under a well defined con- stitutution of civil government. And, as es. sential to the maintenance of such government, under the circumstances in which the Constitu. tion of the United States was formed, and which atill exist, there must be an abiding and unwav. ering attachment to the union of the States, accompanied always by a consciencious regard for all rights, reserved and secured to those States, by the Constitution itself. Providence has placed this country in a political condition, in which both liberty and union are absolutely necessary for its happiness, and in which it is difficult to imagine how either could subsist a- Jone. [A distinguished personage of antiquity eaid that the world could not bear two suns, but in ovr political hemisphere it appears to me that cloud and da:kness would settle upon us the moment we should cease to enjoy the united light of the two mild, beneficent, brilliaut and glorious orbs of Liberty aud Union } Another great principle upon which our sys. tem is founded, and which has characterized the Administration of the Government, from the beginning ie the absolute equality of nations. We hold to this as an elementary ductrine, and while we exercise our own independent choice im seepect to forms of Government, we concede the same right of choice to other organized po- litical communities. Whether nations be lar. geror smaller, if ia fact they be nations, if they be of the civilized political communities of the eatth, then are their rights equal, and their ti. le to respect from each other equal. Each governs iteelf, and has just authority so to do. [One starexceeds another siar in glory, but they are still all stars, moving each in its proper orbit, and all held together by the great attrac. tive power of the universe.| Bui all ibis by na means implies that we tee! no interest or coneein in questions which respect the forms of Government in other States. We are at. tached to free, popular, representative Govern. meanis, from the fullest conviction that such Governments, established over intelligent com. munities, are most productive of human happi- wese, and the great duty we owe the world is, te show that these convictions are well founded and%o prove by our example, in an age of pro- gress and rapidly increasing light and knowl, edge, that the masses of the peuple, if religious moral and well educated, may be safely trusted with eeli.goverament.

David F. Caldwell offered as additional res- olutions, prefacing them with some eloquent remarks, the fuilowing : Resolved, ‘That as Republicans we adhere to the fundamental doctrine that all political power is vested in and derived from the people only. Resslvad further, That although we respect the opinions of many citizens of both political parties who are content with the Constitution of the State as it is, we are nevertheless satis- fied that many useful, important and necessary amendments can, and in deference to public opinion ought to be made. Resolved further, ‘That having full and un- bounded confidence in the integrity and intelli. gence of the people of North Carolina, we are at a loss to understand why any professing to be republicans at this day should interpose objections to their voting on the question of con- vention, or no convention or any other question affecting their rights as freemen of a sovereiga State of this coniederacy. Resolved further, That we fully recognise the right of the peuple of North Carolina to call a convention as prescribed by the Consti- tution itself. And whereas, our forefathers established a Constitution as important to the preservation of well regulated liberty, amony the desirable ef. fects ot which are defining and limiting the power of the Legislature itself, and interposing wholesome barriers to tyranical legislation,— Be it further Resolved, That in the opinion of this meeting, when the people shall blend in the same body the power of legislation and constitution-making, they have taken one dan- gerous step in the surrender of popular rights. . Which were accepted by Mr. Gilmer and which together with those of Mr. Gilmer were all unanimously passed. The meeting was also ably addressed by W. R. Walker, Esq., who together with the other speakers reviewed the position of the parties of the country, while the profound attention of the audience indicated the interest felt in the topics discussed, C. H. Wiley, Esq., then introduced the fol- lowing resolutions : Resolved, That we approve of the plan ol holding a district Convention in Greensborough on this the 18h of May, for the purpose of ap. pointing three delegates to the Naitena Whig Convention; and that the Chairman of this meeting appoint seven delegates to the same. Resolved, That the Chairman of this meet. ing appoint five persons to form a Committee of Vigilance and Correspondence for the County of Guilford Which were also unanimously passed ; and on motion of J, A.

WHIG DISTRICT CONVENTION: Tt was our pleasure to attend the Whig Convention, composed of Delegates from this Congressional District, which con- vened at Albemarie, on Thursday last, the 20th inst., for the purpose of appointing Delegates to attend the Baltimore Whig Convention, which is to assemple next month, to nominate candidates for Presi- dent and Vice President of the United States. We took notes of the proceedings of the Convention, but they have been misplaced, and as the official proceedings have not yet come to hand, we can only give, to day, from memory, a short ar- ticle, embracing what was done in Con- vention. At about half past 12 o'clock the Con- vention organized in the Court-house, by the appoint-nent of Dr. Montgomery,Mont- sad gemery Co., President of the Convention who was assisted by three Vice Presidents. As soon as the President had been con- dacted to the chair, he briefly explained the objects of the Convention. On calling the names of the Counties in the District, it was reported that Sev- en Counties were represented, to wit :— of the State. of the Homestead Bill (as from which the Carolina the { ded out of Millions thought to be highly unjust and deserving the mast dee censure. During the absence of the committee, who were nted to report Resola- tions for the action of the Convention, Col. Daniel Palmer, of Stanty, ina speech to a call which had been made for him. . The Convention was also brieflly ad- dressed by Messrs. J. P. Smith and J. M. Waddell of Anson; A. C. Williamson, of Mecklenburg; and S. H. Walkup, of Union. On separate motions as to each, the fol- lowing gentlemen were appointed to re- present the Third Congressional District in the Baltimore Convention, to wit :— H. T. GUION, Esq. of Linooln ; Gen. J. A. YOUNG, of Meck’barg ; T. S. ASHE, Esq,, of Anson ; Dr. CHALMERS, of Moore. With Gen. A, DOCKERY, our present representative in Congress, as Alternate. After the usual vote of thanks to the Officers, and the proceeding ordered to be published, the Convention adjourned sine die. We have but to add, that the Court house was well filled—aglarge number of spectators being and all seem- ed determined to work ‘with might and and main,’ until victory shall again perch upon oar banner.— Concord Mercury. MR. STANLY’S POSITION. As we intimated én Thursday, we find, from the most reliable testimony, that we were mis- taken in relation to Mr. Sranty’s position on the Presidential Question. He is a decided friend ot the re-election of Mr. Frttmors, in preference to all others. It was published in a respectable paper thagshe would not vote for Scorr in any case. Mr. Stanzy, who is per- fectly satisfied of Gen. Scort’s soundness on the Compromise questiun, from personal knowl. edge, did not wish to be thus understood, and hence the letter in which he strives to remove a wrong impression. Mr. Sranxy's object was also, to vindicate the character of a personal friend as well asa public benefactor, from anjust imputations—a course he would doubtless have pursued in re- gard to any other man in a similar situation. Mr. Sranty disapproved of Mangum’s speech which has given just cause of offence, and there- fore cannot be justly placed in the sa me cate. gory. It Mr. S. was satisfied in his own mind, of the soundness of Gen. Scott’s views of the mat. ter in question, he said no more than he ought to have said, as a candid and honest man, wish- ing to do justice to the accused, and to remove the wrong impressions from the minds of his accusers. We now feel authorised to state that Mr. Sranty’s position is this: He prefers Mr. Fill- more, but will vote for any nominee who is known to be in favor of supporting the Com. promise measures. We think no one can ob- ject to this position. We take the liberty of remarking, in this place however well and truly gentlemen of char- acter and patriotism are satisfied in regard to the sentiments of Gen. Scott, the southern public will require something more than bas as yet been developed on this point—and this they may do without the Jeast impeachment of the veracity of those who testify in bis bebalf. Ad- verse circumstances, if there are none of any other character, have given rise to a sensitive feeling at the South; doubts and fears have arisen, which will require more than the ordi- nary applications in such case to remove. If these doubts and fears are not well grounded, it is to be regretted that they exist—but they do exist and extraordinary means, necessary to meet the exigency of the case, should not be withheld. We can easily conceive that affairs might present such a perspective, that policy would indicate a course, apparently unsatisfactory, while in reality all might be well. But we doubt if the people will be willing to take any thing on trust, however worthy of credit. in the present excited state of the southern mind. After the nomination, and not before, the ques- tion will be solved.— Wil. Com. From the Cheraw Gazette, of May 20. It is our painful duty, this morning, to chronicle the occurrence of a most disas- trous conflagration, in the midst of the business portion of our town, daring the last night. The alarm was given about half past twelve o'clock. Upon reaching the scene, we found the Dry Goods Store of Mr. John Kyle enveloped in flames, which, together with the adjoining Store. of Mr. James Lynch, to the north, and that of Messrs. Evans & Mclver, on the corner of Front and Kershaw Streets, were soon enveloped in flames. To the south of Mr. Kyle’s, the fire soon extended to the Store of Mr. W. L. J. Reid, the Law Office of Messrs. Inclis & Wallace, the Tin Shop of Mr. C. Holmes, and to the Stores of Mr. H. M. Tomlinson and Peter Hatley, which were all consumed, with almost their ehtire contents. Bot for the calm which pervaded, the fire would been much more extensive. As it was, the destructive element was restrained, only by the most. indefatigable exertions of our citizens. The Store of Mr. J. A David, next to that of Mr. Hailey, was several times on fire, as were Stores of Messrs. D. McNair, Threadgill & Kendall and D. a, on the opposite side of the & a ee a ices Wallace, | not _ insured $800. Mr. C. Holmes lost his entire stock cad seels, ony 00, i for $1,000. Me. H.

We have suffered serious inconveni- ence in our office, which was so immi- nently theatened at one time, as to induce us to remove our type, a considerable por- tion of which was thrown into pi. In con- sequence of this, we shall hardly be able to issue our paper at the proper time.— We note this to prevent disappointment. THE CAROLINA WATCHMAN. Salisbury. N.C.

[We received a note on Monday last, Postmarked “ Way,” and signed Jas. H. Houston, which, though it may all be correct, needs, nevertheless, some ex- planation. Will Mr. H. state why the change he advises should be made. } Death of Mrs. Adams.—The venerable relict of the late Jonn Quincy Apams, died at her residence in Washington City on the 15th instant. Her funeral took place on the 19th, and was attended by the Pre- sident of the United States, the members the of Cabinet, and a large number of the members of Congress, Generals Scott and Wool, and a large portion of the citizens of the city. Mr. Cuas. F. Apams, her on- ly surviving son, who resides in Boston, reached Washington in time for the fa- neral, but was not present at the time of her death. 1 The Democratic State Convention of lowa, held at Iowa City, on the 28th ultimo, passed a resolation approving the Compromise measures of the last Con- gress; whilst a similar Convention in Ar- kansas was altogether silent on the sub- ject. The Legislatore of California has pass- ed a slave bill which provides for the sur- render to their owners, of all colored peo- ple in that State who were slaves before arriving there. Great Suffering Anticipated.—A letter to the Journal of Commerce, (N. Y.) date at lowa city, speaking of the immense tide of Emigration through that State for California and Oregon, and comparing the number of teams which passed the ferries near that city in 1850 with the number which has passed this year, says it is appre- hended the distress of 1850 will be no- thing in comparison with this year’s ca- lamity.

Trovrman. & Hayes, in another column of this paper. These gentlemen are very extensive Book Merchants in the city of Philadelphia ; and possess many advanta- ges in their line, which enable them to offer strong inducements to all who wish to purcease Books either for private libra- ries or schools and academies. We refer all such to the advertisement alluded to, with confidence and pleasure; and if it were necessary, would add to our own testimony the experience of merchants in Salisbury, who trade mpch with these gen- tleman, as to their fairness and gentle- manly dealing. Persons in the surrounding country who | P may want books, can procure them from this establishment as safely and as expe- ditiously as they can a package of any other kind, and need not hesitate on that account to order them. Merchants who purchase Stationery will find at this house an assortment large and varied. And here again we might advert to the fact that several of the merchants in this place get their supplies of this kind from Trovut- MAN & Haves. Among the strangers at present visiting Washington, is Granville John Penn, Esq., of England, great grandson of the founder of Pennsylvania.— Nat. Int. The Liquor Law Vetoed in Maine.—The Legislature of Massachusetts having re- jected one bill for imposing restraint upon the sale and use of intoxicating liquors, another bill, having the same object in view, was passed by both Houses and placed in the hands of the Governor last week. This bill, was vetoed by the Gov- ernor. Maine Liquor Law in Massachusetis.— Boston, May 19.—The Governor’s veto of the Liquor Law was warmly debated in the Senate to-day, and an attempt to pass it in spite of the veto, failed by a vote of 23 to 25. A new bill was then introduc- ed to meet the Governor’s principal objec- tion, passed and sent to the House of Rep- resentatives. Liquor Law in Massachusettes.— Boston May 20.—The Liquor bill passed the House to—day with the clause refering it to the people stricken out. The Senate subsequently, after a warm debate, passed it by one majority. A motion to reconsid- er is now pending. The sub-marine blasting operations of M. Maillefort have been completely suc- cessful in removing the Pot Rock in the Horlgate channel of the East river.— There are now twenty-one feet of water on the rock at low tide, and all the ob- structions which it formerly presented are entirely done away with. A Webster Delegate—Bosron, May 20. —The Whig Convention of the Second Congregsional district has elected Otis T.

When that great work was completed he was elected to a professor’s chair in a very ex- tensive female seminary in Albany. After holding that chair for several years, he resigned it for a visit to Germa- ny, where he spent two years with Liebig, renowned for his researches and discove- ries in animal and vegetable chemistry.

The Delegates from the different Counties composing the Second Congressional District, assembled in the Court House at Taylorsville, at 12 M., and organized by electing the Hon. Anderson Mitchell, of Wilkes, as Chairman, and Jubn K, Graham, of Rowan, and Robert F. Simonton, of Iredell, as Secretaries. Afier the object for which the Convention had assembled had been explained by the Chairman, Walter P. Caldwell, Esq., of Ire+ de}l, proposed the following Resolutions : Resolved, That Mittarp Fyrtimors, for the able, firm and patriotic manner, in which he has administered the Government, deserves the confidence of the whole country—and we do not hesitate to declare that he is the first choice of the Whigs of this Congressional District for the office of President of the United States. Resolved, That W. A. Grauam, by bis abil. ity, integrity, and patriotic devotion to the coun. try, bas endeared himself to the people of this State—and believing him faithlul and capable, we earnestly recommend bim to the Whigs of the Union for the office of Vicé President. Resolved, That we will cordially support the nomi.ees of the Whig National Convention; provided they are unequivocally in favor of the finality of the Compromise Measures, adopted by the last Congress. Resolved, That this Convention appoint three Delegates to attend the Baltimore Whig Convention, and three alternates. Alter the adoption of the Resolutions intro. duced by W. P. Caldwell, the Chairman an- nounced, that it would thea be in order to nom. inate Delegates to the Whig National Con- vention, to be held at Baltimore, on the 16th of June next, for the purpose of selecting the Whig Candidates for President and Vice Pre. sident of the United States. The Hon. Nathaniel Boyden, of Salisbury, Nicholas L. Williams, Esq.. of Yadkin, and Charles A. Parks, Esq., of Wilkes, being nom. inated, it was unanimously resolved that they be appoinied Delegates to represent the Second Congressiona! District of North Carolina, in stirring speech, which reminded one of the days of 40 and ’44. He has few superiors as a popular orator, With him as a champion and leader, there is but little doubt that the State will be relieved of the temporary misrule of Locofocoism.” If the Whigs of North Carolina do their duty but half so well as John Kerr is doing, and will continue to discharge his, victory is as certain as that the sun shines above us! A RICH SCENE. There was quite a merry excitement at the Commercial Hotel on Tuesday evening, conse. quent upon the exposure of a couple sojourning at that house. A man by the name of Millar, a teacher of penmansbip, arrived in our city about two weeks since, with a woman in com- pany, whom he represented as his wife, and took rooms at the Commercial. Ina few days they succeeded so far as to raise a very respecia- ble class, be to teach the gentlemen and she the ladies, in the mysteries and beauties of the chirographic art. On ‘Tuesday a gentleman trom New Orleans, seeing the reputed Mrs. Millar, recognized ber as a woman of doubtful character from that.city, and so informed soma of his friends. ‘The story soon getting into wi- der circulation, came to the ears of Mr. Millar and bis companion, who sovn formed a plan of inflicting a cow-hiding vpon the informant, which was by the heroine, with a cow-hide iv one hand and a pistol in the other, as the New Orleans gentleman came out from the supper | table aud proceeded up stairs to his room. Her weapons were finally taken away from her, and | he was rescued from severe chastisement of | * tongue and rod,” by the crowd which gathered around, Mr. Millar was ordered to pay his bill and leave the house, together with his woman im. mediately, but’ before he could get away, he was confronted by the chastised man and ex. posed publicly betore a large crowd of persons— that he knew the woman to be a notorious lewd character, and that he had been imposing her upon the community as a decent woman. Mil- lar was also told that be was suspecied of hav. ing stolen Prof. Anderson’s money, to all of which charges he was silent, not wishing to get Up any more excitement. ‘The happy couple went tothe wharf-boat, staid all njghi, and lef at day-light next morning, in a skiff ior Ackan. sas, from whence they afierwards proceeded to a wood-yard about four miles below here.— Should we hear from him soon, we will not ex. poee him further.— Memphis Eagle, 15th ult.

The Convention then proceeded to nominate three alternates of the aforesaid Delegates, Dr. James Calloway, of Wilkes, Robert Mc. Dowell, Esq., of Iredell, and Joba M. Cloud, Esq.. of Surry, being nominated, it was unani- mously resolved that the said nominees be ap. pointed alternates from the Second Congres sional District, to the National Whig Conven. tion. The Hon. Nathaniel Boyden then introduced the following Resolutions : Resolved, ‘That this Convention, deem this & proper occasion, to express their high appre- ciation of the distinguished ability and the in. valuable public services of Danre. Wesster, the brilliancy of whose genius bas illustrated almost every page of our National history ; and whose profuund expositions of the Constitution of the United States, bas fised the interpreta. lion that posterity will put upon it, to the latest Reueration; and who, planting himself upon us broad foundations in every crisis, which bas occurred during bis long public service, has bat. tled with bis giant intellegt for the whole coun. try and its institutions, with suca a true, noble and catholic spirit, as justly entitles him to the lasting gratitude of every friend of our glo. rious Union. Resolved, That the able efforts in the Sen. ate of our distinguished fellow citizen, Grorce E. Bapeer, during the discussion of the ad. justment measures of the last, together with bis masterly and unanswerable speech in the pre- seut Congress, against the Kossuth interven. tion doctrine, have reflected honor upon his native State ; demonstrated the wisdom of his selection to his present high position; and fixed his reputation, in the judgment of all can. did and impartial observers, as among the ablest debaters and most sagacious and patri- otic statesmen now composing the Senate of the United Staies. Which were received with hearty applause by the Convention, and alter a brief speech in their support, were unanimously adopted by the Convention. It was then, Resolved, That the proceedings of the Con. vention, signed by the Chairman, the Hon. Anderson Mitchell, of Wilkes, and the Secre- taries, J. K. Graham and R. F. Simonton, be published in the Carolina Watchman, printed at Salisbury, with a request that the oiLer Whig papers of the State copy them. It was further Resolved, That a copy of the proceedings as published in the Carolina Watchman, signed by the Chairman and Sec. retaries, be furnished to the said Delegates elected to the Whig National Convention, and to their alternates as the evideace of their election to that body.

The fears entertained by Mr. Fillmore’s friends, that he may not receive the nom- ination of the Baltimore” Convention, seem to jinerease rather than dimin- ish.

Deprivé them of this privilege and you incense them, and get for yourself their bitter execrations. ' But all experience has shown that the people of the South are reasonable men, and that although a little given to ebulli- tions of passion, soon sober down, and pursue the right way. We believe they will do so in regard to the nominee of the Whig Convention. Should that Conven- tion nominate.a man at least free from objections,a consistent regard for the great principles of the party would dictate, not only an acquiesence on the part of every Whig, but a Aearty support of ‘the nomi- nee. Otherwise, it would be useless to hold a Convention, It would be worse than mockery to consent to a Convention arrangement with a mental reservation not to abide by its decisions except our own particular views were made the rule of its action. This is such a plain propo- sition that all reasonable men, after they have had time to reflect, acknowledge its force, and at once actin conformity to the dictates of common sense and con- scientious duty. They have always done so, and that they will continue to do so admits of little doubt. River Improvement Meeting.—The citi- zens of this Town and County, as much or more interested in the opening of the Yadkin than those of any other section to be benefited by that work, are at fault by the profound neglect with which they have treated the late movements on the subject in other counties. The only re- spect which has been paid them here, was a notice through the columnsof this paper, and an appeal, in oar humble way, to the citizens to hold a meeting and appoint delegates to the meeting advertised to be held at Doweltown on the 2d instant.— This appeal, as we apprehended at the time, judging from the apparent indiffer- ence of every body around us, went in at one ear and out at the other, leaving no more impression than would a bargain and sale involving the enormous sum of 6} cts.

Heath, Commissioner of Pen- sions, states that where a party dies be- fore the issue of his land warrant, under the act of 24th September, 1850, the right to it dies with him, unless there be a wid- ow, or children who are minors at the time of the passage of the act. If he left a widow, the application may be renewed in her name; or, if none, then in the names ofsuch minor children. If there be nei- ther widow nor minor children, no right vests inanyone. The act of 22d March 1852, is silent as to the right of the wid- ow or children to renew the application if the party dies before obtaining the war- rant. If the claimant dies after the issue of the warrant, the title thereto rests in the heirs in the same manner as real es- tate, and can be assigned only by those who could convey a tract of land descend- ed from the ancestor. Joshua R. Giddings proposes publicly that a mausoleum be raised to the memory of a fugitive slave, named Smith, who was killed by an officer ‘of the United States in self defence, when arrested by him in serving the process of the law.— Giddings seeks by these things to acquire notoriety. THE NEW GOLD DOLLAR. The Philadelphia News notices a spe- cimen piece of the new dollar gold piece, which has been strock at the mint, and forwarded to the Department at Wash— ington for approval. It is about the size of a dine, with an open centre of nearly the size of the present coin. On the one side is a word “Dollar,” under which is a wreath, and on the other side “United States of America, 1852.” DEATH OF COL, DEAVER. It is our painful duty to anuounce the death of Col. Reuben Deaver, proprietor of the Sul. phur Springs (in this County,) which occurred on Sunday morning, the 23d instant, afier a gradual decline of several months, not however confining him to his bed until within a few days before bis death.— Asheville Mess. of 26th ult. THE DEATH PENALTY. The abolition of the death penalty in the State of Michigan has been followed by an alarming increase of the classes of crime involving violence and showing Rowan. Even Guilford county, with hard- contempt of human life. A Detroit pe- ly a tithe of the interest involved, compar- atively, called a meeting, and, as will be seen below, appointed delegates to attend at Doweltown, and aid in the prosecution of this great work—great, even when viewed as an isolated improvement, but immensely important when taken in con- nection with the Rail Road. We regret that our honorable old county is found in this case; and if there were nothing in her past history affording encouragement to hope that she will yet comie up to the mark of reasonable expectation in this matter, she would hardly have claim to the respect of her neighbors, or the love of her own enterprising sons. Rowan is good grit—she has money, talent ahd spirit, and may be relied on—when the pinch comes. She has proved herself time and again; and although a little slow to take hold, is always vigorous in the prosecution of whatever she undertakes. We commend to her citizens the follow- ing proceedings had in Guilford county. From the Greensborough Patriot. IMPROVEMENT OF THE YADKIN. Ata public meeting held in the Court House in the town of Greensboro’, on the 21st day of May, 1852; Jed. H. Lindsay, Esq., was called to the chair, and Wm. R Walker wasappointed Secretary. The ob- jects of the meeting were briefly explained by John A. Gilmer, Esq., afier which the following resolutions were offered and unanimoasly adopted Resolved, That the people of Guilford have ‘witnessed with pleasure the efforts that are now being made to render the Yadkin River navigable ; and that they rd the enterprise as one that is well per, commenting on the proceedings of a Grand Jury, says: “The nature of the in— vestigations which that grand jury were called to make, satisfied its members that the city of Detroit is a dark and bloody ground, whose soil has drank the blood of many a victim, and whose quiet river has choked the gurgling death—cry of many a wretch, of whose end nothing more is known bat that he was and is’ not, and the secret of whose ‘taking off’ is between the murderer and his Maker.— The River flows in close proximity to purlieus of a most dangerous and disrepu- table character, and offers a ready recep- tacle for all traces of proof which are subject to human ken.” CONSUL AT CHARLESTON.

THE WISEST MEN THE MOST FOR- BEARING. _ In order to love mankind, expect but little from them ; in order to view thier faults without bitterness, we must accus- tom ourselves to pardon them, and to per- ceive that indulgence is a justice which frail humanity basa right to demand from wisdom. Now, nothing tends more to dispose us to indulgence, to close our hearts against ‘hatred, to open them to the principles of a human and soft moral- ity, than a profound knowledge of the hu- man heart. Accordingly the wisest men have always been the most indulgent. —— a In this a the 27th ult., Obadiah Wood- son, Esq.. Mrw~ NEWTON M.

In Iredell County, near Statesville, on the 30th ult, Mr. ALEXANDER HUGGINS, aged 77 yeara His disease was what the Doctors would term “ periostatis of the cervical vertebra and clavicle”—a disease of a scrof- ulous nature. Mr. Huggins had many praise-worthy traits in his character, upon which memory will! delight to dwell. As a neighbor and citizen, all who knew him could tes- tify to his worth ; as a man of sense and industry, his success in life speaks out in his favor ; as a husband and parent, the tender solicitude of an affectionate wife and the suppressed sobs of his devoted children testify that he was all that is implied in these endearing names. He was also an aged disciple of Jesus, and had, for more than a score of years, been a member of the Presbyte- rian Church in Statesville. And that he was no useless member of his church, is evident from the fact that he was always ready to lend a helping hand for the welfare of Zion—from the fact that he had taken and read the Presbyterian newspaper from its beginning, and also be- cause he died “ the death of the righteous and his Jast end was like his.” P.

T. Jerkins of Newbern, C. W. D. Hutchins, of Raleigh, William Swaim, of Greensbo- rough, or E.

Brethren, with confidence of success, I appeal to your liberality in behalf of this enterprise, the impor- tance of which has been fully established by the Grand Lodge, and the general concurrence of the Brethren throughout the State. While enough has already been done toencourage the hope of success, and evince its entire practicability, much yet remains to be done to render this success certain, and even to proseeute un- remittingly the measures already commenced. And yet it is confidently betieved, that the aid which you are able to render will be amply sufficient to accom- plish all thie, and that speedily. Upon your action then as Masons, depends the success of an enterprise which promises the richest benefits to the cause of Masonry and of bumanity in general. Some of our Lodges have contribated promptly and nobly to this work, and we only ask your careful consideration of the subject, con- vinced as we are that nothiag more is needed to secure your cordial co-operation in a favorable and early re- sponse to this appeal.

The tears came into Arihur’s eyes a8 he saw bim swallow the dry bread with such eagerness. — He remembered with some self reproach, that be had sometimes complained when he had nothing but bread and bylter for teq. On their way to the boy’s home, Arthyr learned that the {amily had moved into the place about @ week belore ; that bis mother was ta- ken sick the day afier they came, and was una. ble to leave ber bed ; that there were two chil- dren younger then himself ; that their last food was eaten the day before ; that bis mother had sent bim out to beg for the first time in his life ; that the first person he asked told him beggars would be put jn jail, so he was afraid to ask any body else, but was retyruing home when Arthur overtook bim and asked what he was crying lor. ; Arthur wept &, and saw a good looking wo- mean on the bed, with two children crying by her side, As he opened the door, he heard the oldest say, ‘Du mamme, give me somathing to eal,’ ‘They stopped erying when Arthur and the boy came ip. ‘The boy ran to the bed, and gave bis mother the loa‘, and pointing tu Arthyr said, * He bought it for me,’ *Thank you,’ said the woman, ‘may God bless and give you the bread of eternal life,’ The oldest liule girl jamped up and down in Ler joy, and the youngest tried to seize the loaf, aud struggled hard to do so, but did not speak. Seeing that the widow’s hands were weak, Arthur took the loaf and cut off a piece for the youngest firsi, and then for the boy and the girl. He then gave the loaf to the widow.— She ate a small piece, and then closed her eyes, and seemed to be engaged in silent prayer. * She myst be one of the Lord's poor,’ thought Arthur. ‘I'll go and get something else for her as quick as | cap,’ said Arthyr, aud he de- parted. He went to Mrs. Bertron, who lived near, and told ber the story; and she immediately sent some milk aud bread, and tea, and sugar, and butter, and sent word she would cume ber- self, as soon as she got ihe baby asleep. Aribur had ball a dollar at home, which he wished to give tu the poor woman. His father gave it to bim for waiching sheep, and tuld him that he must not spend it, but put it out at in- terest, or trade with it, so as to make some- thing. He knew bis father would pot let him give it away, fur he was not a Christian, and thought of litle else than of making and saving money. Aribur’s mother died when be was an infant, but with her last breath she gave him to God. When Arthur was five years old, be was sent to school to a pious teacher, who cared for his soul. Knowing that he had no teacher al homie, she touk vausyal pains to instruct bim iv the principles of religious truth. The Holy sided her effurts, and before he was eight ears of age, there was reasup to bupe that had been born again. Arthyr was now in histenth year, He con- sidered how he shoyld he]p the poor widow, nad at length he hit ypon 9 plan which proved pucceseful, His fgthet was very desirous that he should begia to act for himself in business matters, euch as making bargains. He did not wish him to ask his advice in so duing, but to go by his own judgment. Afier the business was done, he would show him whether it was wise or nol ; byt paver censured him, lest be should discoyrage him from acting on his own respon. sibility. In view of these facts, Arthur formed his plan, * Father, may [ lend my half dollar?’ said be. * To some ependtbrilt, boy 7 said bis father. #1 wop’t lend it witheut good secyrity.’ The father was pleased shat his son had the ide& of good security in his head. He would pot ire what it was, for he wished Arthur to decide that for himself. He told him to lend jt, but to be careful got to lose it. * PU be syre about that,’ said Arthur. Ar. hur took bis half dollar, and ran to the poor widow and e it to ber, and came away be- fore she had time io thank him.

Thatis not ourtheory. We hold that there is nothing above, and nothing below —that all stand on an equality; each enjoys his part of the public prosperity and suffers his portion of the public adversity; each at the same time bearing his part, and exercising his appropriate right in the political concerns of his country. Dr. Johnson, one of the writers of this school, says :— How small of all that human hearts endure, ° The part that kings or laws can cause or cure! Now, the truth is, that kings or laws can cause or cure most evils belonging to social or individual life ; they can establish despotism ; they can restrain political opinion ; they can prevent men fromespressing their free thoughts; kings and laws can impose intolerably burden. some taxes; they can exclude the masses froin all participation in the government; they can bring about a state of things under which the public good and public liberties will be destroy. ed and trodden down by military power; they can obstruct the progress of education and knowledge ; they can render men servile serts; and they can darken, blind, and almost extin- guish the intellectual element of humanity. Is not this much? Are not these great evils ?— Who does not feel that the political institutions of his country, according as they are good or evil, are the very elements of his happiness or misery ? , It is true, it is very true, that a man’s condi- tion may depend, in many respects, on personal circumstances, gn bis health, on the state of bis family, on bis means for the education of bis children ; but his fortune, good or evil, is influ. enced deeply, mainly and essentially by the laws of hiscountry. And that, I take it, is the great solution of the question, now no longer a matter of doubt, but heretofore a question sub. sisting all over Evrope—the true nature of the happiness and prosperity of the people of the United States. But I say to you, and to our whole country, and to all the crowned heads and aristocratic powers and feudal systems that exist, that it is to self-government; the great principle of popular representation and admin- | istration—the system that lets in all to partici- pate in the counsels that are to assign the good or evil of all that we may owe what we are and what we hope tobe. [Cheers.] Why, gentlemen, who dues not see this 7— Who supposes that anything but the indepen. | dence of the countfy would have made us what | we are? Suppose that mother England had treated us with the utmost indulgence ; that the counsels most favorable to the colonies had prevailed ; that we had been made a spoiled child; I say to you, as I have said before, and shall continue to say till the time of my death, that it ig not in the nature of any colonial sys- tem of government to raise a country and raise a nation tothe highest pitch of prosperity. It is independence ; self-government ; the liber- ty of the people to make laws for themselves, that bas elevate of colonial subjection and pla are. It is independence. Hail, independence! hail thou next best gift To that of life and an immortal soul! Gentlemen, I have said that our blessings grow essentially from our form of government, pun from the satisfaction of the people with that form, and their desire to help on the general progress of the country. ‘There is no (rue Ame. rican who perity of the is onward, that the people are more bappy, an more and more 9gnlightened, successful and renowned every day. ‘This is a source of par- ticular happiness to every honest American heart.

C. Gentlemen, Mr. Locke says that time is the of ideas 1 men’s m If that be so, we live a great while in a few revolutions of the earth around the sun. If new ideas, new thoughis, new con- templations, new bopes, constitute life, why then we have lived much, whether we have lived many or few years, according as they are usually estimated. The age is remarkable.— New thoughis press, and new inventions crowd upon us. We used to say proverbially, that a thing was dore as quick as thought; but that is a lingering mode of expression now-a-days. A great many things are done much quicker than somé men’s thoughts. Thought cannot keep up with electricity. While we are talk- ing, the thoughis cannot travel as fast as elec. tricity can give them tothe world. While I am now speaking, the world which last lef my lips bas already been seized by lightning, and before 1 can utter a few sentences more, will be read not only in New York and Washing. ton, but also in Savannab, New Orleans, Cin- cinnati and St. Louis; and my words will all be read with some interest, not because they are mine, but because they proceed from Fan- evil Hall, from which place all know that mm important periods of the past, no voice was heard but that of determined, resolute, nation- al patriotism. So, gentlemen, we live much, though our years may be few. For my part I bardly eavy the patriarchs for the many years of their lives, They neither saw as much, nur enjoyed as much as we see and enjoy. In truth, | do not think very highly of the felicity of Methusaleh’s Jon. gevily. Fellow-citizens, let us be grateful for all our blessings, and perform our duties cheerfully and readily, as men, as patriots, and as Christiane, We all feel that we have a country, not Bos. ton alone, nor Massachusetis alone, but com. posed and bound up by that vast union of inde- pendent states which are united under a com. mon Constitution. ‘The inhabitants of these states are all fellow citizens, and he is narrow in bis prejudices and his politics who would re.. ject any of those citizens from the great Ameri- can brotherhood. We see here, to-day, delegate members from one of the greatest Christian denominations ia the United States, coming from the North pro- bably, certainly from the South and West. And who ie not glad to see them? [Applause.] They come as friends, and who would wish to see them in any other capacity? And as for my- self, gentiemen, I say to them, I bid you wel. come. [The members of the Methodist Con. ference now rose in a body.] 1 bid you wel- come to Faneuil Hall, the birthplace of Ameri- can liberty. Welcome to Boston, the seat of coomeree, enterprise, and literature. Welcome to Massachusetts, the home of public education. We welcome you for your many Christian vir- tues, and for the good you have accomplished in this country and abroad, In the course of my life I have not been an uninterested reader of your history. I know sumething of Charles Wesley. Dying at a great age, shortly afier our independence was secured, these were his last words, * The workmen die, but the work goes on.” [Cheers.] The workmen who {framed the institutions and the Constitution of our country have passed away, but their work lives afier them. ‘Those same institutions and that same Constitution have been upheld by us, and I trust will be sustained by our children forever. Although the workmen may die yet may the work go on. I have read, many years since, the biography of John Wesley, an extraordinary person, the great founder and aposile of the Methodist so- cieties, who died. I think, in 1791, at the ad. vanced age of 83 years. His last words were, “ The best of all iz, that God is with us.”— These sentiments have been wonderfully illus- trated in the subsequent history of Methodism, of which Soutbey said so strongly that it was “ Religion in earnest,” Now, gentlemen, we must not prolong this occasion further. My friénd, Mr. Hilliard, has lately quoted an extract from some stanzas, and which I remember from IL had not remembered their These may properly be referred One line is— authorship. to on the present occasion. “ Ye solid men of Boston, make no long orations.” This I take to myself, and am bound to obey the injuetion.

A resolution was adopted, declining with sincere thanks, on account of the pressure of business, the invitation of the Commitiee of arrangements for a steam- boat excursion. The forenoon was chiefly occupied with the report of Committees on synodical records. The unfinished bu- siness being the report ofthe Board of Publication was taken up and discussed without final action. The resolutions on the memorial of the Charlestion Union Presbyterian were next considered. <A motion was made to recommit for further information. After some discussién the motion was rejected, and the debate on the resolutions was suspended. The Com- mittee on devotional exercises reported the order of exercises of the coming Sabbath— adopted. The election to fill vacancies in the Board of Edacation was made the 2od order of the day for Friday, and elec- tion to fill vacancies in the Directory of Princeton Seminary was made the order for the afternoon. The following was the action of the Assembly : 1. Resolved, That the claims of the home and foreign field demand a large in- crease in the ministry of the Presbyterian Church, and that at a time when the can- didates seem to be decreasing instead of increasing in number, and death to be multiplying its ravages in the ministerial ranks, it is especially incumbent on the Charch, to use all Scriptaral means, to train up her youth with more direct refer- ence to the preaching of the everlasting gospel. 2. Resolved, That the Assembly recog- nise with gratitude the goodness of God in pouring out his grace upon several of our institutions of learning during the past year; and whilst the churelies are invoked to pray without ceasing to the Lord of the harvest for the continuance of his fa- vor, the last Thursday of February next is recommended for general observance as a day of special prayer for the Divine blessing upon the youth of our land, who are pursuing their studies in literary insti- tutions, and especially that many of them may be called, and qualified by the grace of God, for the work of the ministry. 3. Resolved, That this Assembly re- af- firms its testimony in regard to the impor- tance of establishing education upon a religious basis, as recommended by pro- ceding Assemblies, and viewing the charch as a party interested in education, within its sphere it invites its judicatories according to their wisdom ander their va- rious circumstances, to see that the youth within their bounds have accessjto institu- tions of learning, where the truths and duties of religion shall be assiduously in- culcated. 4. Resolved, That the Board of Educa- tion in its important departments of be- nevolent operation be recommended to the patronage of our churches, and that the Presbyteries and Synods endeav- or to have its objects annually presented in such manner as may be deemed expe- dient with a view to increasing the means of educating pious young men for the min- istry.

NEW FLUID. An eminent scientific man, Baron C. Von Reichenback, bas lately published carte ed work, which bas made some noise under the name of ics of ism. He be. lieves he has discovered a new fluid, of dy. namic element in nature, distinct from : netism, electricity, light or heat, though some. what resembling them. He gives it the sin. gular name of Od. Those whoare subject to, and perceive, its influence he calls sensitive. Such are capricious and whimsical, hardto be pleased persons, easy to be put out of humor. phenomenon may be manifested thus. Lay a natural crystal as large a one as possi- ble, horizontally across a table, or the arm of a chair, so as to leave the extremities free.— Let the sensitive person hold the palm of the lefi hand towards the ends of the crystal, ata distance of three, four or six inches. In-the course of a minute, he will acknowledge that from the apex of the crystal a cool current strikes the hand ; but, when the hand is held toward its base, a sensation of lukewarmness is experienced. The first feeling is pleasant ; the other, disagreeable. and accompanied by almost @ nauseating sensation, which, if the hand be continued in the same position, seizes on the arm, and produces a feeling of fatigue. Persons not sensitive perceive nothing. These opposite effects can be produced with. out touching the crystals; and with very sen- silive persons at a distance of several feet and therefore Reichenback was of opinion, that something emanated, or radiated, unknown to physical science. Iu darkness, this fluid has becotne visible of various colors, and bell. shape, now gparkling, then disappearing in a sort of fine mist. The same force may be found to eminate from other sources. Experiments made with a magnet are beautiful, and light and color are emitted. Od may spring from a commen source with magnetism and electrici- ty, light aod heat; but their common origin cannot be proved; and so, at present, they must be treated of as a special group of phe- nomena.— Newark Sentinel. Touching Incident.—The Louisvilie Dem- ocrat relates the following touching incident : “An aged mother—a woman of seventy years—lefi her home in the Emerald Isle some ten weeks ago, to seek the abode of her chil. dren, who are now residents at Louisville.— After a tedious passage, and the trouble inci- dent to a Jong journey. she reached this city from New Orleans, last Monday night, on board the Alexander Scott, and soon she was sur- rounded by her children. Her son was the first to see her, and be hastened to inform his sister of their mother’s arrival. ‘They met— the mother and the daughter—ia one long em. bracey which only ended as the infirm mother sank with excitement to the floor. She had swooned away in the rapturous enjoyment of beholding once more a daughter so long lost. She pronounced a blessing upon her children, and fainted away. Whenever restored to con. sciousness, the sight of her children, and the pleasing recollection of their presence, would overcome her with emotions, and again and again she would faint in their arms. Physi- cians were called to her aid, but could afford her no relief. For two days she continued in this condition, until worn out by latigue and excitement, exhausted nature gave way, and the mother now ‘sleeps well’ in the new green earth of her new made home. How strange, how sorrowful, dnd bbw touching are the iuci- dents of life.” A WONDER. According to some Italian journals, a new organized being has been discovered in the interior of Africa, which seems to | form an intermediate link between vege- | table and animal life. This singular pro- | duction has the shape of a spotted serpent. It drags itself along on the ground, and, | instead of a head has a flower shaped like |a bell, which contains a vicious liquid. | Flies and and other insects attracted by | the smell of the juice, enter into the flow- er, where they are caught by the adhe- sive matter. The flower then closes and ‘remains shot until the prisoners are | bruised and transformed into chyle. The indigestible portions, such as the head and | wings, are thrown out by two aspired openings. The vegetable serpent has a skin resembling leaves, a white and soft flesh, and, instead of a bony skeleton, a | cartilagenous frame filled with yellow | marrow. The natives consider it delicious food, at least so says the paper from which we copy the above, but we consider the whole story a fabrication. Commencement at the University. —We copy frons the * University Magazine,” the following announcements in relation to the commence- ment exercises : The sermon to the Graduating Class will be delivered by Rev. S. Milton Frost, a member of the Class. The Address before the two Literary Socie. ties will be delivered Wednesday forenoon, by Thomas S. Ashe, Esq, of Wadesborough. The Address before the Alumni Association will be delivered Wednesday afiernoon, by Hon. Abraham Rencber, late Charge d’ Affairs to the = of Portugal. Alumni Association chose their orator from the class that graduated thirty years ago. Mr. Reneber graduated in 1822.

If a handsome, well Shaped and well flavored oyster, he is in- troduced to the places of the rich and no- ble, like a wit, or a philosopher, or a poet, — to give additional relish to their samptu- ous feasts. If a sturdy, thick-backed, - strong-iasted individual,fate consigns him to the capacious tub of the street ak ger, from whence, dosed with coarse blach pepper and pungent vinegar, embalmed . partly after the fashion of an Egyptian king. he is transferred to the bungry stom- ach of a costermonger.-+( Qe HAGE POLITICAL MAXIMS. Politics used to be a science, it is now nothing more than a game. Consistency used to be a jewel of bigh » value ; it is now generally. regarded as @ * thing not worth wearing. Everyonecan * illustrate this by examples occurring’ within his own observation. Trickery used to be regarded as a de- spicable expedient to gain a position of trust, honor or profit ; now it is the only » expedient to which politicians have. ree, course. Integrity and ability were once regard- ;, ed as a necessary prerequisite for a can- didate asking office to possess ; now ef- ~ frontery and presumption, based upon a’ broad foundation of ignorance, are the: most success{ul competitors for places of © profit. Duplicty and deceit in the ordinary af. fairs of life are reprehended as they de— ; serve ; but in politicians deceit a , du- plicity have become characteristic attri— butes. Principles were once regarded as the test of a man’s political standing ; now political principles are themselves jodgéed®’ by private opinion, and every man’s say@ so is a standard. ) as The first principles of every science are as immutuable as truth itself; yet in the: science of politics but few seem willing?: to acknowledge the immutability of any principle. As soon as any doctrine: be= > comes expedient, it is at once adopted:as a principle until expediency makes it ne~:: cessary to make a change. Principles before Men was once thé © popular motto of political parties ; now Men first, and Principles afterwards, is the basis of party organization. In theory the people are acknowledged as the basis and source of political pow-,, er; in practice they are regarded as only. , necessary to ratify and confirm the nomi-). nations made by political tricksters. Political Faith in certain prineiplés was once a test of good standing in any party ; now the most heterodox and op.’ posite opinions are held by men claiming: the rights and privileges of membership in the same party; and it frequently ue. curs that they who have departed the» most distance from political orthodoxy are! they who we honored with the gifts which » were once bestowed upon fidelity to prin- ciple. Amendments by the Legislature.—“ In. this connection we would remark, that the Consti- . tution of the United States provides two m > of amending that instrument, one by Legisla-. live enactment, the other by a Convention,— that thirteen articles or amendments have been _ added to the Constitution since its adoption, and that these were carried through by the first 1 ‘ the same mode by which Democrats propose” to establish Equal Suffrage.

Again: “ But these objections pass a sentence of condemnation on the Declar- ation of Independence, and the principles of the American Revolution, and when we deny this right of a majority of the People to remodel their government, it leads to the mach more monstrous conclu- sion, that a minority—that one man—may perpetuate the most intolerable system of tyranny over the rights of the majority— may usurp all the powers of the govern- ment and leave the majority with no rights, but to practice the virtues of tame and quiet subjects. The People cannot that leads us to such conclusions. Sover- eignity, a power which binds all others, yet it is restricted by no other, and bound by no forms, must reside somewhere. In this country it 1s lodged with a majority of the People.” Such were the opinions entertained and pablished by the “ Ex-Minister” in 1833. Did bis association with the dilapidated monarchy of Spain alter bis views, and drive him to those doctrines which he has recently put forth, and which, if ever sanc- tioned and carried out, will in the lan- guage of his address, lead to “the most intolerable system of tyranny over the rights of the majority, and to the usurpa- tion of all the powers of government” by the minority? A fit leader he of the loco- foco Party, and a most admirable expoun- der of Demoeratic doctrines! Satan sent out to preach morality ! But we will not pursue this subject any farther for the present. We do not know in truth, so far as the “Ex Minister to unfortunate Spain” is concerned, whetber the play is worth the candle. He thought proper to make an unealled for attack on Mr. Kerpg before that gentleman had an opportunity to give his opinions tothe pub- lic, when be had no chance to answer the misrepresentations contained in that al— tack. The poisoned chalice has been com- mended to the lips of the “ Ex- Minister.” His own battery has been turned upon | him, with powerful effect. His tergiver sations have been exposed. His incon. | sistencies have been laid bare. His sel(—| ish mania for office—his cormorant appe- tite for place, to the exclasion of every body else, young and old, has been held up to public odium. If he thinks he can gain anything in such a controversy, be may go on bis way rejoicing. From the Fayette ville Observer. THE LOCOFOCO CANDIDATE FOR PRESIDENT. | The agony is over, and Gen. Franklin H. | Pierce, of New Hampsbire, is the Locofoco candidate for President of the United States! That this will take the public by surprise, | even his own party, is perfectly manifest. We suspect that the nomination was made in a fit of deaperation, after three days’ incessant vot. ing, in the course of which we do not know how often the votes were taken. Up to the evening of Friday, (the second day of the vot- ing,) thirthy-three votes were laken, LN NO ONE OF WHICH DID GEN. PISRCE RECEIVE A VOTE! So little force was he, that not a single one of his own party thought of him, not even the dele. gales trom his own Siate, ducing two whole days, and thirty-three votes. On the nest day he was nominated. There were many ebbs and flows of the popular current during those three days. Cass and Buchanan were the prominent and favorite candidates. These gave wey caer § to Douglas, who, afier enjoying the prospect for a brief space, fell to rise no more, Allthe other nags, to use a spor:ing phrase, were ‘no where. Marcy, Butler, uston, Lane, Dickinson, Dodge, and Weller, all had a few friends, from 1 to. 27, but no one. of them ever got above the latter figure. Gen. Pierce has been in buth Houses of Congress, we believe, where he made no fig- ure. He was efierwards appointed by Mr. Polk, Brigadier General in the Mexican war. What he did there, (if any thing,) does mot at this moment oceur to our mind, though we shall doubtless bear enough of it ina few days. We cannot of course say whether’be will prove & strong candidate or a weak one. One things vety certain, he was strong with bis party--— If he*should prove to have popularity, it will be of @ negative kind, we —not such as Polk’s, however, for he was.“ Yousg Hickor- ry,” the neighbor, and Iriend, and desigzated candidate of * Old Hickory.”. This.gave Aim apower which Geo, Pieree will we sus- the Whig party are in favor of this change PeeThoce Je one, (ack, which may have asdleted # in favor of the Compromise and ‘the fugitive law, could get the nomination. And so it has ‘turned out. Cese aad Bechanan, snd Dodgias, and Marcy, and Houstoo, and Lane, and Dick. inson, and Dallas, &e., all answered that they would sustain these measures. And they are according!y all laid onthe shelf. Prezce pip NOT ANSWER AT ALL;—and Pierce is nomi- nated't More than this: The Convention steadily refused to adopt any Platiorm of principles un- til after the candidate was nominated, Mr. Dobbin, it will be seen, made a speech in fa- vor of the platform first, agd the candidate af. terwards—ibe candidgte to sun the platform; not the platform to suit the candidate. But his voice was unheeded. He was rather too hon. est for the times. The Committee was ready to report the platform, but the Convention would not hear it ! We write in great haste ; and have compil- ed with as much care as time and space would allow, un account of the proceedings of the convention, up to Friday night, 10 which we refer. The closing scenes are not yet receiv. ed—the fact of the pomination having come by Telegraph. _ P. S.

The Raleigh Standard finding it rather an uphill business to contend against the republican principle of a Convention of the people, endeavors to evade the ques- tion by starting a false issue. He has got astride the question of a change of basis and bids fair to ride his hobby to death in a short time. He is trying to create the impression, in the East, that Mr. Kerr and and expects, amidst the ery of ‘slavery agitation.’ ‘change of bassis,’ &c., to with- draw public attention from the hambug- gery of Gov. Reid. But this ruse will fail—the Whigs will not be caught nap- ping. Neither the Whigs nor their can- didate for Governor are striving for a change of the basis—and the Democratic papars know it. They feel it is a losing gamethey are playing against the Con- vention principle, and that defeat awaits them onless they can avoid it, by some such false charge. The Whig party has never taken a po- sition in favor of a change of the basis of representation. We know there are some Whigs in the West—and as many Demo- crats—who go for this measure, but as a party we are op to disturbing the compromise between the East and the West. We are opposed to sectional agi- tation ; we only contend now for the rights of the whole people.

Taking its rise in the higher regions of Bolivia, under the name of the fons and flowing north into Eucador, until it is joined by the vast bodies of water drained from the slopes of the Andes, the great river Amazon flows eastward to the'sea and falls into the Atlantic by an ootlet of two handred miles in width. Its braches are navigable steams, of length varying ftom a few hundred to two thousand miles, passing, like the parent river, through tracks of country loaded with the verdure of the tropics, Receiving these tributaries in greater abundance even than our own Miss.—not less than two hundred smaller streams being reckoned as the number— the Amazon has, by means of one of them. a navigable communication with the Ori- noco. The Madeira has a current of 2,- 500 and the Negro of 2.000 miles. The Cassaquire, a branch of the Negro. is also an arm of the Orinoco; one great river thus contributing to swell the bulk of the larger, facilitating intercourse, and plac. ing in the possession of mana great high. way ready formed by nature, The area of valuable Jands which is drained by these interlacing water courses cannot he less than two millions of square miles.— Of necessity mach of it now lies unpro- ductive, yet not barren, because of the natural wealth so profusely showered up- on the climate of the equator. A new field of commerce is open to our enter- prise. A commencement has already been made to this end. Thinking men have matured projects, looking forward to great results, in view of the vast ad- vautages that may be derived from unre- stricted mercantile intercourse between the richest Province of South America and the Atlantic ports of the U. States. The investigations of Lieut Maury, Su- perintendent of the National Observatory at Washington, have been directed to the subjects of the Winds and Currents of the Ocean ; bis results are remarkable. He finds by comparisons of the logs of sailing vessels, and froin Atlantic ports, that the trae outlet of the Amazon is not at the Line, but above it, toward the Florida Pass. A vessel sailing from the mouth of the Amazon does not sail directly into the ocean, but, meeting the Southeast Trade Winds, which compel ber to pass around to the northward and westward until the parallel of twenty-five degrees or 30 degrees is gained. By thistime the out- ward-bound Amazonian is off the Ameri- can coast. There is no other way in which he can steer. The land south of the mouth of the Amazon prevents his proceeding immediately southward; nor can he pursve a directly eastward course, because of the set of the winds and cur- rents conspiring to oppose him. No chance offers but a northeasterly route, which necessarily throws up as it were a surf commercial enterprise at our very doors. Years of mercantile speculation have allowed this tempting opportunity to pass unimproved. The time has now come when a new order of things is pro- mised. Lieut. Maury proposes, in a memorial to Congress, which we publish entire in another column, that a line of steam com- munieation be opened between some southern Atlantic port and the port of Pa- ra, in Brazil. Para is a port of consider- able importance even now, and, situated at the outlet of the Amazon, would soon command a lucrative trade. A direct communication between it and some cen- tral port like Norfolk, already in close connexion with Now York, would save our merchants the labor and expense of transmission by way of England to Rio Janeiro; a practice too commonly adopted, because of the length of time consumed in a sailing voyage hence to Rio. Our commerce with Brazil is already greater than with any other country except Eng- land and France. Her imparts from the United States in 1835 amounted to $2,- 608,656, and since that period they have annually increased. Our exports thither in 1850 and 1851 were $3,752.916, and the imports hither were $11,525.304. It is needless to argue the importance of keeping up a steady increase in this re- ciprocal system of exports and imports.— Brazil produces sugar, coffee, chocolate, salt, nitrate of potash, gold. diamonds, to- paz, beryl, toarmaine, amethysts, and pre- cious commodidies almost innumerable.

Eagle of the 26th ultimo bas an account of the conviction of _ murderers, who killed a man ‘and his e. i Oar readets will remember the horrid morders committed in the latter end of February last, on the ‘persons of Justice Brewer and his wife, ia Greenup county. These deeds were perpetrated by a band of desperadoes, four in. number, three of them named Clarke and one.named Hood, They blacked their faces and far. in the night proceeded to the’ premises jof their victims, Going into: the poultry house, they set the hens to squalling, by which trick Mr. and Mrs. Brewer were enticed out of the hoose. Mrs. B. went out first, in her night gown, to protect her chickens from the fangs, as she doubtless ‘thought, of wild beasts of prey, little dreaming that they were prowling in human form, and that herself and husband were the objects of their bloody hunt. | Mr. B. followed immediately, and both were set upon and beaten todeath with heavy clubs—he being killed outright, and she left for dead, tho’ she lingered insensible and speechless till next morning. Their poor little children, five in number, the oldest but eleven years old, unconscious of the horrid tragedy by which they were plunged into the miseries and sorrows of orphanage, slept andisturb- ed till morning, when, missing their pa- rents, they wandered to the houses of the neighbors, in search of them. This awak- ened suspicion and alarm, and soon the people of the country round about were roused. The first party arriving at the house found the prostrate bodies where the assassins left them—the husband dead and stiff, the wife only exhibiting signs of life by an involuntary contraction of ber lower limbs. At eleven o'clock that mor- ning her sufferings ended with her life. Antecedent circumstances furnished ground of suspicion that John Collins, a near neighbor of Brewer. was the instiga- tor, if not the actor, of the tragedy. A chain of circumstances, slight indeed in their origin, but corroborated and strength- eued until they amounted to proofs clear and conclusive, fixed the eye and the hand of justice on Collins and his accompli- ces. To make a brief story of the evidence, Collins, purely out of malice, had induced the three Clarks and Hood, by threats and bribes, to undertake the murder. One of the Clarks was a son-in-law of Collins.— Two of the Clarks were brothers, the third a cousin, and Hood, we believe a relative. One of the Clarks and Hood are lads a- bout seventeen yearsof age. These four werg the parties actually engaged in the murder—the malignant but cowardly Col- lins, the planner of the wicked conspiracy purposely remaining at home, because he foresaw he would be charged with the murder. A part of the scheme, designed to provide for Collins's security, was tbat the young men should leave their hats with Collins, which would make it neces- sary for them to retorn to his house, and hy this they would be able to testify that Collins was at home on the night of the murder. The plot did not probably con- template that suspicion would light on the young men. Collins and his four accomplices were indicted, and he and. Turner Clark, the one who wielded the murderouselub, were tried before tue Greenup Circuit Coort last week. These two were convicted of mur- der, and sentenced to be hung on the 25th of June next. There was no time to try the other three hefore the term of the Conrt expired, and they will remain in jail ironed and guarded, till the next term. The circumstances establishing the con- spiracy bet ween Collinsand the four young men were so convincing that we under. stand each of them, except Collins, made full confession, even before the trial. A narrative of the evidence in tbis case would furnish a chapter of circumstantial evidence perhaps as marvellous, bat at the same time clear and conclusive, as ever was detailed. The very plot of the conspirators, designed to hide their crime, served to develop their guilt. It was a fine illustration of that remarkable pass- age where Shakspeare makes Hamlet congratatate hitnself on the contrivance of the play, by which he expected to expose the “occult guilt” of the King in one scene of if: “T have heard That gu‘lty creatures sitting at @ play Have, by the very cunning of the scene, Been struck so to the soul, that presently They have proclaimed their malefactions ; For murder, though it have no tongue, will speak With most miraculous organ.” A new Idea in 7% —The Steward op board a U.

I admire “ beyond expressiou,” the lofty, manly and consistent patriotism which have ever distinguished Mr. Bryant in bis un. tiring efforts to * more Americanize” our (00, too country,—I love him because we have been, and-are friends and co-laborers in the same use, but | tell bim now,— “more in than in anger,”—ihat on prin ciple, 1 will with him to the death, on the eubject of the relative merits and demerits of white slavery at the North and black slavery at the South, and tae merits and demerits of the gpecent priest ridden white laborers* at the orth and the laborers of the South, as men. Well do I remember the revolting pictures of the deplorable condition of the “mill operatives” in Massachusetts, drawn by the searching and rapbic pen of Mr. Bryant in his *T'wo Tar. s compared,” and other literary fire-brands dashed at the heads of the mill “ Masters.”— But not to those * mill operatives” do I allude, even in the degraded condition drawn by Mr. Bryant,—when I fearlessly assert that the Ne. groes of the South will be exalted in a truthful and independent comparisun drawn between them and the priest ridden laboring population of the Free States. Here, the servants or alaves or by whatever name you please to call them, are free to attend their Presbyterian, Methodist, Episcopalian, Baptist, or any other eburch, and hear the Bible freely read to them as tothe whites. Never are they coerced into | church measures, as thousand of your boasted | Sree laboring people of the Free States are.— | They may be biased by the predilections of | their Masters, and by example, but are never threatened weh excommunication, penances, or some other mentally binding, and soul chain- ing bug-bear. Seats are reserved fur them, they are prayed for, and directly appealed to and are treated much more like reasoning, ra- tional human beings than are the brain-bound, conscience-chained millions of laboring whites who cannot read; or, if they could, dare not without permission from their Masters. ‘Phe servanis or slaves of the South worship God freely, and hear the Bible read freely in plain English ; and never like your millions of free servanis, worship men and paintings and images and little crossed sticks, and who are allowed to hear only a mumbling of some dead language which, not one of the countless dead,—could they be resuscitated, would be able to recognise ae their vernacular. The negroes ot the South are too enlightened to be blinded to a common sense view of things. The slaves are prayed for, and pray direcily to God, and are taughi to expect his grace and Mercy “ without money and without price ;’”—while your free servants are taught to pray to their priests for every bles. sing and to expect it—if the “money” is forth- Coming andthe “ price” suits.

My friend is one of those many men at the North who have read and Lelieved the abolition pam phlets of the political villians, who would ride into office over the ruins of their country, rath. er than forego the pleasure of a dip into the public Pep and the petty rule of a town or ward for a “term of office.” I was not alitile tinc. tured with the anti ‘chain’ and ‘scourge’ fever myself when | bad only read the Northern mis- representations, but since the Southern facts have loomed up before iny astonished eyes, | know better than to pin my faith to political pamphlets published for peculiar pur poses, — | here are many at the North who are not worth the effort to convert, but Mr. Bryant is well worthy an invitation from a committee of erous Southerners to visit the South, and, by | seeing for himself, be turned from the error of his ways, and to a better use of his pen. The South is sacred grouud,—in the Native tcan-sense, it isa]! that is left to us as Americans striving to retain or recover our na. tionality. The North and East and West are every thing, and politically they are ruled by unnaturalized foreigners whose struggles to ef. fect an entranee to the southern fields of labor will yet lead to the adoption of stringeny mea- snres’calculated to check the frightful flood of recréants to the cause of freedom in their own lands, but who are invading ours, and making it a babe! and a “ den of thieves,” If the South is to be overrun with Goths and Vaitduls the Dutch and Ivish and 3,000,000 of chinese (as proposed bythe “ Boston Courier” to take the places of the slaves) what in the name of nationality is to become Americans ?

If the emancipated laborers are removed to Africa, the removal will cost $300,000,000 ; if dispersed in the free States. they must work a reduction in the wages of la. bor in every branch of industry, down to the lowest limits of animal existence.” . Here follows a very plausible idea that the capitalists have conspired to reduce the price of labor to a perfect level the land over. Un. questionably the capitalists ol the North would gladly introduce a species of labor which would be in every respect—excepting shade of com- plexion and pay, like negro-labor at the South. And it * $4 a month” will allow only ofa mere * animal existence,” and. no surplus for migra- lory purposes, where is the difference between the well housed, well fed and well clothed Sou- thera laborer, who has a range of miles,—and the proposed Chinese fixture in a mill, where his, * scanty wages” bind him as with a chain? The difference is in favor of the black slave. Mr. Bryant says; “I hinted at a conspiracy of capitalists thruugbout the country, to work the degradation of free labor in the shortest possible time.— The evidence of this is found in the fact, that sinultaneously, in California and Massachu- setts, the proposal is made to commence the importation of a race so numerous as to furnish 10, 20, 30, 40, or 50 millions without being missed in the land of their birth, and accustom. ed to work for such scanty wages that they, are ready by thousands, to sell themselves to stran- gers for four dollars a month.” If the Mongols “ sell themselves” to the Mas- sachusetts mill owners, will the anti-slavery part of them roll up their eyes in holy horror and refuse to buy them at a price which will keep them down to the euperiative level of de- gradation, dependence and ignorance ? “ A substitute for slave labor” is not the de. sideratum with the hypocritical manufacturers ol | Massachusetis,—it is something as cheap, 2 | something in the shape of laborers which will successlully compete with the labor of the South employed in the manufactories which have grown out of the suicidal acts of the very men who are now ready to cry aloud in their agony of fear, help us Pagans or we sink !— Help us Mongols or we perish! | W.S.

After the adoption of the platform, and the above arrangements, and the voting of thanks to officers, &c., the Convention adjourn. ed, sine die.—Ral. Register. PLATFORM. Resolved, That the American Democracy place their trust in the intelligence, the patri- otism, and discriminating justice of the Ameri- can people, Resolved, That we regard this as a distinct. ive feature of our political creed, which we are proud to maintain before the world, as the great moral element in a form of government, spring- ing from and upheld by the popular will ; and we contrast it with the creed and practice of federalism, under whatever name or form, which seeks to palsy the will of the constituent, and which conceives no imposture too mon- strove for the popular credulity. Resolved, therefore. That eutertaining these views, the Democratic party of this Union, through their delegates assembled in a general convention of the States coming together in a spirit of concord, of devotion to the ductrines and faith of a tree representative government, and appealing to their fellow-citizens for the rectitude of their intentions, renew and reas. | sert before the American people, the declara. | tions of principles avowed by them when, on lormer occasions, in general convention, they | presented their candidates for the popular suf. | rages: 1. That the federal government is one of lim- ited powers, derived solely from the constitution, andthe grants of power made therein ought to be strictly construed by ail the departments and egenis of the government ; and that it is inex. pedient and dangerous to exercise doubtful con- stitutional powers. 2. That the constitution does not confer upon the genera! government the power to commence and carry on a general sysiem of iniecnal im- provemen!s, 3. That the constitution dees not conter au- thority upon the federal government, directly or indirectly, to assume the debts of the several States, contracted for local internal improve- ments, or other State purposes ; nor would such assumption be just and expedient. 4. ‘That justice and sound policy forbid the federal government to foster one branch of in. dustry to the detriment of any other, or to cher- ish the interests of one portion to the injury of another of our common coumry ; that every cit- izen, and every section of the country, has a right to demand and insist upon an equality of rights and privileges, and to complete and am- ple protection of persuns and property from do- mestic vielence or aggression. 5. That it is the duty of every branch of the government to enforce and practice the most rigid econemy in conducting our public affairs, and"hat nomore revenue ought to be raised than is required to defray the necessary expen. citations and the Itertien of the. people, and | Siew gine ene onmantnnis he “El” td te En Bape + rod a erm ate Re ee 8 will of the democratic made the country, have demonstrated to candid and ot all parties, their sounduess, y and - in all business pursuits. — 7. That the separation of en on government from banking instit pensable for the safety oft ment and the righis of the people. 8. That the liberal prieciplas mbodied. by Jefferson in the Declaration. ts ; nce, and sanctioned in the constitution, which makes | ours the Jand of Jiberty, and the asylum of the oppressed of every nation, have ever been car- dinal principles in the democratic faith ; and every altempt to abridge the present privilege of becoming citizens and owners of soll sony us, ought to be resisied with the same. spirit which swept the alien and sedition laws from our statute books. 9. That Congress bas no power onder the constitution to interfere with or control the do- mestic institutions of the several States, and (hat such States are the sole and proper judges of everything appertaining to their own affairs not prohibited by the constitution ; thai all ef. forts of the abolitionists or others made (o in- duce Congress to interfere with questions of slavery, or to take incipient steps in relation thereto, are calculated to lead to the most a- larming and dangerous consequences, and that all such effurts have an inevitable tendency to diminish the happiness of the people, and en. danger the stability and permanency of the Us- ion, and ought not io be countenanced by any friend of our political institutions. Resolved, ‘That the foregoing proposition co- vers and was intended to embrace the whole subject of slavery agitation in Congress, and therelore the Democratie party of the Union, standing upon this national platform, will abide by and adhere to a faithful execution of the acts known as the compromise measures, settled by the last Congress—the act forthe reclaiming of fugitives from service or labor included, which | act, being designed to carry oul an express pro. vision of the constitution, cannot, with fidelity thereto, be repealed or so changed as to de. stroy or impair its efficiency. Resolved, That the Democratic party will resist all attempis at renewing in Congrees or out of it. the agitation of the Slavery question, under whatever shape or color the attempt may be made. Resolved, That the proceeds of the public lands ought to be sacredly applied to the na- lional objects specified in the constitution ; and that we are opposed to any law for the distri- bution of such proceeds among the States, as alike inexpedient io policy, and repugnant to the constitution. Resolved, ‘That we are decidedly opposed to taking from the President the qualified veto power, by which he is enabled, under restric. tions and responsibilities, amply sufficient to guard the public interest, to suspend the pass- age of a bill whose merits cannot secure the approval of two-thirds of the Senate and House of Representatives until the judgement of the people can be ubtained thereon, and which has saved the American people from the corrupt and tyranical domination of the Bank of the United States, and from a corrupting systsm of general internal improvements. Resolved, That the Democratic party will faithfully abide by and uphold the principles laid down in the Kentucky and Virginia resolutions of 1798, and in the’ report of Mr. Madison to the Virginia Legislature in 1799; that it adopts those principles as constituting one of the main foundations of its political creed and is resolved to carry them out in their obvious meaning and import. Resolved, That the war with Mexico, upon all the principles of patrivtism, and the laws of nalions, was @ just and necessary war. ou our part, ia which every American citizen should have shown himself on the side of his country, and neither morally or physically, by word or deed, have given aid and comfort tothe enemy. Resolved, That we rejoice at the restoration of friendly relations with our sister Republic of Mexico, and earnestly desire for her all the blessings and prosperity which we enjoy under Republican institutions; and we congratulate the American people upon the results of that war, which have so manifestly justified the pol- icy and conduct of the Democratic party, and insured tothe United States “ indenmity for the past and security for the future.” Resolved, That in view of the condition of popular institutions in the world, a high and sacred duty is devolved with iccreased respon- sibility upon the Democratic party of this coun- try, as the party of the people, to uphold and maintain the right of every State, and thereby the Union of the States, and to sustain and ad. vance among us constitutional liberty, by con- tinuing to resist all monopolies and exclusive legislation fur the benefit of the few at the ex. pense of the many, and by a vigilant and con. stant adherence to those principles and com. promises of the Constitution, which are broad evuough and strong enough to embrace and up. | bold the Union as it is, andthe Union as it shall be, in the full expansion of the energies and capacities of this great aud progressive people. Killing Whales by Electricity.—The New Bedtord Mercury describes a pro- cess invented by Prots. Somersburg and Backston, of Bremen, and brought for- ward at New Bediord by Mr. Heineken, an intelligent merchant of Bremen, for killing whales, at the moment of striking them with the harpoon, by means of elec- tricity. The object of the expedient is to | produce. an immediate paralysis of the vital powers of the whale at the moment | at which he is struck; so as to obviate the | danger, the labor, and the hazard of loss from the struggles of the whale after he is struck. The process is thus described by the Mercury: * The electricity is conveyed to the body of the whale from an electro-galvanic battery contained in the boat, by means of a metallic wire attached tothe harpoon and so arranged as to reconduct the elec- trie current from the whale through tbe sea tothe machine. The machine itself is simple and compact in construction. en- closed in a strong chest weighing aboot 350 pounds and occupying a space inthe boat of about three and a half feet long by two feet in width and the same. in height. Jt is capable of throwing intothe body of the whale eight tremendous shocks of electricity in a second, or nine hundred, and fifty shocks in a minute, paralyzing in an the muscles of the whale, : and depriving it of all power of motion, | calculated to place the business of the country if not actual life.” &P We are authorised to announce Dr. 8S.

THE PLANK ROAD MEETING AT . THIRD CREEK. DF? The citizens of Statesville and Tay- lorsville, and the surrounding country in- terested in the success of the Plank Road, we are directed to say, are also invited to attend the meeting at Third Creek on the 26th instant. Jt was an unintentional omission that they were not invited in the firet notice, It is hoped there will be a large attendance. We would advert to the fact that this meeting comes on in the Barbecue time of year, andin a neighborhood where the peo- ple are proverbial fortheir hospitality. And although we do not know the fact, yet we have an idea that the pigs up there will be apt to squeal about the 25th of this same instant! Our Scotch Irish friends have a way of their own, and we are hall inclined to believe that they have an agreeable surprise of this nature in store for all who attend the meeting on the 26th—especially for those who go with the expectation of doing something for the Road. But where and among whom did the idea of a reform Convention originate? Not among the people—not in any canvass before the peo. ple; but at Raleigh, among politicians, and a. mong the avowed opponents of Free Suffrage. Mountain Banner. And where did the idea of Free Suffrage originate?’ The Hon. Davin S. Rei has had the credit of originating it, but was he really the author? We have sometimes heard it charged on Judge Doveias, who was visit. ing in North Carolina a little while before Mr. Reip mounted Free Suffrage as a political hob. by. A dime for the author of that idea—a hum. bug from the start, it is no less so now that the people are discovering its true charac- ter. ‘They will elect Convention men, be. lieving as they unquestionably do, that a Con. vention is the fairest and most republican mode of amending our fundamental Jaw. The fath. ers of our country set us many useful lessons which the upstarts of thie day are disposed to reject. But will the people reject the Conven. tion mode! It is the cheapest and the best plan. Washing Mixture.—Mr. Ryal, the ‘ Soap Man,” is among us and offers his patent soap asa great improvement. His small bills ex. hibit strong Testimonials, and we suppose there must be something in his soap. Can’t some. body give him a day’s washing to test the thing ? SOUTH CAROLINA. The Charieston Mercury has defined its position—the position of South Carolina —on the Presidential question. It is op- posed to any endorsement of the Compro- mise ; it is opposed to the election of any man who will obey the Constitution and abide by its compromises. It advocates the election of the worst man who can be found. It says: “The most rabid and reckless fanatic, the most unscrupulous and corrupt finan- cier, whose veins are burning with the lust of power, for himself and his section, is emphatically the man for the South.— Paradoxical as it may seem, the worst man, is the best for us. We know that our peace loving friends will staft at this avowal. They are not yet sick of that policy of Compromise which is insidiously and rapidly ruining our beloved land.— So long as this policy is dominant, the South will continue to hug her chains.— There must be some stern and terrible re- medy to stir her people from their trance. With such a man in the White House, surrounded by a Cabinet of chosen com- peers, and backed by @ powerful party, exultant, and madly pressing onwards, the regeneration of the South would be near at hand. “ Let corruption and outrage choke up forever the channels of Compromise ; let Consojidation boldly tread down the rights of the States, and fanaticism riot over the | Constitation, until, the last throb of blind love for the. Union, is pressed out of the hearts of our people, and we sbould then see the South wake up, and stiring her now dormant limbs, prepare to repel the wrong, and assert the right. Better, far better for aos, that fanaticism should at once outstrip the bounds of toleration, and leap to its climax, than. by stealthy in- roads, despoil us.of our all. We have never before seen such an avowal in any’ American Journal. We trust that we shall hever see such again. To argne with the advocates of such in- | i, famous principles is impossible — to de. nounce them is useless.

Observer. THE LIBEL on tuz WHIG PARTY, AGAIN. The “Standard” reiterates the charge that the Whig Party are endeavoring “to get up a slavery agitation in our midst.” We pronounced this a foul libel, and we repeat it, however unsavory such lan- guage may be to the delicate ears, and very nice sensibilities of those who, for Party ends, have thought proper to prefer the charge. If such an unfounded impu- taticn against forty odd thousand of the voters of the State, and the application to them of such epithets as double, dealing,” “ shuffling,” “ suppressing the truth,” “ cowardly fear,” entitle the “Standard” to dictate rules of decency, then indeed should the “rest of mankind” surrender at discretion. The organ and its “advis- ers” are much mistaken, it they suppose, that the motives of so large a number of Whig Party are to be misrepresented and falsified in the face of declared facts to the contrary, without meeting the rebuke which is deserved. The “Standard” knows full well that that the Whig Party have no desire “to change the basis of representation.” In his speech on Friday last, as will be seen by the report in another column, Mr. Kerr openly and boldly proclaimed his opposi- tion to any such change. In this respect, at least, there is no difference of opinion between him and his competitor. The Whig Resolutions declared a preference for the Convention mode of amending the Constitution, over the Legislation mode, but they likewise distinctly assert, that such Convention should be elected on the federal basis. Where is the danger to the basis under such a principle ? But the Whigs have gone further and declare that they are in favor of submit- ting it to the People to say, whether they wish such a Convention called or not, to make amendments to the Constitution.— Does the “Standard” deny that the Legis- lature has the power to submit this ques- tion tothe People? Does he deny the right of the People to require that their wishes, in relation to amending their Con- stitution, should be consulted and carried out !—Raleigh Register. WHAT DOES THIS MEAN? We find in the proceedings of the loco- foco Convention as reported by the “ Bal- timore Sun,” the following : “Mr. McRae arose and complained that members..of the delegation from North Corolina had been unable to pro- cure tickets of admission to the hall.— And not only this, but they have been insult- ed and violence offered to their persons. Mr. Gallegher was understood to ask whether Mr. White had insulted the gen- tleman. Mr. McRea replied that he made no charges against Mr. White. (Cries of “ Where’s Mr. White ?” “Mr. White ?” Mr. MecRae-said, further, that his name was introduced, and that he was denied admission. He desired that the Conven- tion take some action in the premises. _ Cries in every part of the hall, “ Ques- tion !” “ Question !” The President assured the gentleman that, so far as the chair was concerned, the difficulty should be remedied.

The Londoa Times comments upon the fact that in nine cases in ten of wreck or disaster at sea, many lives are lpat he- cause the hoats provided expressty for such emergencies are either out of order or cannot be used. Sometimes a plog is missing; the irons will not swing readily ; the boat is stove by skiliul management ; rubbish of all sorts is piled gpon them ; and owing to these or other causes, it is almost invariably the case that one or more of the life boats provided is entirely disabled, The Times suggests, as a rem- edy for this, that it should be a regular part of duty on board ship to see that ev- ery thing about these boars is in perfect order, and to exercise the crew in getting them out and ready for service. The time and labor would be absndantly re- paid by the increased efficiency of these protective arrangements in case of dan- ger. And itis manifestly absurd to incur so much expense for life boats, &c., and then want of proper care to allow them to become utterly useless. AN UNNATURAL MOTHER.

Bacrmore, Saturpay nicut. June 5, 1852. To Josuua Downine, Esq. Postmaster, Downingville, State of Maine. Dear Uncle’ Joshua: The job is done, and it’s been about the toughest week's work that ever I did. I've sweat like a tiger all the week, and I’m as hungry as a bear; not but what there’s been vittles enough, plenty of it, and good too, and a plenty of liquor too, more than the Maine liquor law.could upset and spill in six months; but trouble is, we had so much to do we couldn’t get time to eat. I guess l’ve made out to ketch a lunch of a few mouthfuls about twice a day, and got a chance to sleep upon an average about two hours a night. After I’ve writ this letter to you, I mean to turn in and sleep over till Monday, and then streak it home and help get up the mass meeting to ratify the nomination—the ratification of Downingville must bea roarer. You better be getting things ready for it till I come. I wish I could give you some idea of the week’s work we have bad | here. I’ve worked in the logging swamp, and know what ’tis to handle logs, and pile em on the bank, and rol! em into the river; and I’ve worked on burnt fields in clearing up, and know what ’tis to chop and pile from Monday morning till Satur- day night; but I declare to man this has been the tuffest week of log-rolling I ever see. But I don't begrudge the work a bit, we've made such a nice job of it, and saved the country. We've put life into the Democratic party again, that we thought last fall was dead as a door-nail. We've killed off Abolition, we've choked to death Secession, and gin Freesoil the fits; and I expect we've thunderstruck Whiggery so that it never'll get over it. We've got the Democratic party fairly on its legs again, standing on the good old platform that Gineral Jackson left it on; that is, agin the Bank, agin the Tariff, and agin Internal Improvements; and now we've nothing to do but go ahead. icurious observation. ‘They lead us to what parts are necessary to produce | wits.

But as soon as | told him I was the dele- gate from Downingville, he took me by the hand, and says he, “ All right, Major Downing, I’m very glad to see you here; you can come in as a supernumerary, and you can do a great deal more good than if you was a regular delegate, for you can go round quietly among all the delegates and help to make em harmonize ; there’s a great deal of that work to be done be- fore we can get along, and I don’t know of any body that can do more in that line than you can. In fact, Major, if you hadn’t been sent as a delegate from Down- ingville, you would readily be admitted to take part in the proceedings of the Con- vention out of respect for the great servi- ces that you rendered Ginera! Jackson in the times that tried the souls of Demo- crats.”. Sol went right in and took hold and went to work. There was an awful to’tother ; and! pretty soon got the swing of it, so I could tell where to pull, and | where to push, and where to put under | the handspikes and lift. And when the | members got up to make speeches, and | got to talking too much, or talking the wrong way, I knew jest when to take hold seats. And sometimes I had to go into the gallery, too, to keep the people straight up there, and in spite of all I could do they would sometimes hoorah and hiss in the wrong place. So you may judge I’ve was determined to have a nomination, if I worked my hands off up to my elbows. It was very hard to get a nomination this time, and if I hadn’t been here, though I say it myself,1 don’t believe they would a got one at all. The first real hard piece of sledding we come across was the platform business ; that is to say, the question whether we should go to work and make a platform first, or take right hold and to nominate first. It wasa knotty question, and seem- ed to bother some of the members a good deal. Mr. Nabers and Mr. Wise. and some others, insisted upon it that we should begin at the foundation, and make a platform first for the Democratic party to stand on, and then make a candidate to fit to it. No work would ever stand well unless you begin at the bottom and lay a good foundation first. Here's a dozen parties here, every one fighting for their particular candidate, and one hop- ing to get the nomination. As long as that hope lasts it will hold em all togeth- build a platform. But the moment one gets the nomination, the rest will all fly off in a tangent; there will be no more ‘working on a platform, and your candi- date will be left standing upon nothing. But Mr. Soule, of Lousiana, and Gov. Floyd, of Virginny, ‘rowed jest as bard vother way. They declared we never dertook to go to work upon it now, every one of the. dozen parties would be pulling 'team without flinching, for thirty-three ,and hauling agin each other, and each — = eet one hewing and cutting and carving to make the platform to suit his own candi- date, In that way we never could make a platform if we should work from the first of June to the end of time. The fact is the platform must be made for the country ; that is, for the Democratic par- ty, and not fora candidate. As soon as the candidate is ketched and haitered and tied to a stump, we can all set down calmly and work together, and make a latform to suit the whole Democracy.— he dispute went on pretty high nearly all day, and was got over at last by a sort of compromise to bave the platform and the nomination both going on together.— So a committee of one from each State was appointed to goto work and build the platform while the Convention went on to nominate ; then, as soon as the candidate was nominated, the platform could be all ready to set him right on to it. Then come the nominating, and that was all an up hill business for about three days and two or three nights. It was. found on the first pull that the Old Fogies | was a good deal too strong for Yoang | America, and there hadn't been so many Old Fogies in the field we should a got a candidate the first haul. Gineral Cass | and Mr. Buchanan each started with a| very smart team. Mr. Cass was a little ahead, and be kept the lead for about twenty polls and we thought by sticking to him like wax we might be able to get him over the hill. But his team begun to lag after ten ora dozen pulls, and now at the twentieth pull it seemed to be slowly backing down bill, andthe Buchanan team struggled up and got ahead. Then we thought we better hitch on to Buchanan, and may be we might fetch him over the bill. We sporred up for a few pulls pret- ty well, but dido’t get near to the top be- fore the Buchanan team got stuck, and then begun to back down the hill, and all we could do we couldn’t start it ahead again. But the Cass team, which had backed down almost to the bottom of the bill, after resting and breathing a little, now took a fresh start to come up. At that we hitched on again and determined if possible to shove him over this time.— We whipped, and spurred, and pulled, and pushed, and hollered, and screamed, and the team hauled well. The old ox- bows creaked, and we begun to think we should reach the top. But when we got about two-thirds the way up, team got stuck agin; and though it took eight or ten smart pulls after this, it didn’t get any higher, bat every time backed down a little. It was pretty clear after this that it was gone goose with the Old Fogies. We hadn’t no hopes of em any longer. If the Cass and Buchanan teams could a been hitched together, they would a walked over the hill as easy as a cat could lick her ear. But there was so much quarrel- ling among the drivers that this couldn't be done. Every driver was proud of his | own team, and would stick to it and have | nothing to do with tother. The Virginny | delegation went out a good many times | to consider of itand make up their minds, | and every time they come in they march- ed right up and took their stand by the They stuck to that steady pulls; and for the last ten or fif- teen pulls I couldn’t think of nothing else but “ old Virginny never tire.” But there was a good many others stuck it out full as long, and some a good deal longer than | old Virginny, before they gin up. We, tried a few pulls with the Marcy team) and afew with the Butler team, but it | was no go. We became satisfied there wasn’t an Old Fogy in the field who could ever reach the top of the hill. We be-| gun to look round now to see how Young America was getting along. The Douglas team was made up most- ly of young steers; and it was a pretty | smart team, well trained, and pulled well. | Bat it wasn’t equal to ¢he Old Fogies for | a heavy pull; it hadn’t so much bone and | sinew and bottom. Howsomever, it made | a pretty scratch of it, and kept gaining | gradually up the hill; so we thought we would take hold and give Young Ameri- ca a doost,and see if we couldn’t get a candidate that way. To tell the troth, we | begun to feel rather streaked for fear we | shouldn’t get a candidate at all, and felt willing to hitch on to most any thing.— Bat the best we could do with Young America, we couldn't get only about half way up the hill before the steers begun to back down agin, and we see 'twas no use, they couldn’t come it. Well, there we was all in a fix. We couldn't see no oth- er chance ; we'd got to go without a Pre- sident because we couldn't nominate a candidate. One of the members actually fainted away here, and all of us felt a good deal womblecropt and down in the mouth. But “old Virginny never tire ;” and when we was all hitchin on round for the thirty-fifth pull, old Virginny marched into the field with a bran new team. Every body started, and cried out, What team isthat? What team is that? And when they heard the answer, “ The Franklin Pierce team, of New Hamp- shire,” they wouldn’t hardly believe their own ears. Butit was a fact, and Virgin- ny drove the team one pull all alone.— Then one or two others hitched on with her aud tried eight or ten steady pulls. — All of us looked on and watched the work- ing of that team. At lest folks begun to make up their minds that that was the team to pull and straighten out the De- mocratic traces, and with proper help it might be got over the hill. Old North Carliner bitched on, and Georgia hitched on, and Tennessee hitched on, and by-and by there was a general race all over the field to see who should hitch on first. It didn’t make no odds who, Old Hunkers and Barnburners, and Free-Silers and Ab- olition, and Union and Secession,and State Rights, and Old Fogies and Young Amer- ca, all run helter skelter and hitched on to the Pierce team. That team | tell ye went up the hill like smoke. Some of the States run till they was almost out of breath for fear they shouldn’t hitch on be- fore the team got to the top of the hill.— But they all made out to hook on, and every State was “in at the death” and ready to jine in the general hoo-rah. After this we hadn’t no more difficulty ; everything went as regular as clock work. The master told as we had read and spelt well, and we might all go cut till four o’- clock. So we went out and took a little bit of spree, and then come in and took hold and worked together jest like broth- | ers, and hauled Mr. Kiog right up to the top of the hill in two pulls, and made him Vice President. Then the committee brought in the new strange incantations and sépernatural in- fluences, in short, of all the arts of a sor- cerer. Having made such progress as he could by dint of study and intense application, he at length resolved to prosecute his pur- poses still further by actually raising the devil. He happened one evening to walk in a thick, dark wood, within a short dis- tance from Wittenberg. when it occured to him that that ‘was a fit place for exe- cuting bis design. He stopped at a soli- tary spot where four roads met, and made use of his wand to mark out a large cir- cle, and then two small ones within the larger. In one of these he fixed himself, appropriating the other for the use of bis expected visitor. He went over the pre- cise range of charms and incantations, omitting nothing. It was a dark night, between the ninth and tenth hours. The devil manifested himself by the usual signsofhisappearance. “Wherefore am I called 7” said he, “and what is it that you demand?” “JI require,” rejoined Faustus, “that you should sedulously at- tend unto me, answer my inquiries, and fulfill my behests.” Immediately upon Faustas pronouncing these words, there followed a tumult over- head as if heaven and earth were coming together. The trees in their topmost platform, and we all dancedonit. In the crowd and confusion we couldn’t see what it was made on, but we was told it went | agin the Bank, and agin the Tariff, and | agin Internal Improvement, and was a first-rate platform; so we all jumped on and said it couldn’t be no better. P. S. I've telegraped to Gineral Pierce to save the Doningville Post Office for you; so you may feel easy on that score. I remain your loving nephew, MAJOR JACK DOWNING. FAUST OF WITTENBERG, AND FUST OF MENTZ. It were well if writers on the origin of typography would obey the injunction of Sir Thos. Browne, who thought it not in- expedient for those who seek toenlighten mankind on any particular subject, first to acquire some knowledge thereof them- selves, so that the labor of readers should not so generally be profitless. In an arti- cle by Bishop Mclivaine, and another in Frazer's Magazine, by an anonymous con- tributor, the exercise of necromancy is imputed to Fust, the inventor, or supposed inventor, of printing. Nine of every ten persons who write anything on the subject, fall into the same error; they have some- thing always to say of Fust and the devil ; curious anecdotes to rehearse of the multi- plication of copies of the Scriptures in Pa- ris and elsewhere ; spells and incantations by the inventor of the “ black” art to de- scribe, etc. But this is all induced by ig- norance of the facts. John Fast, the putative inventor of print- ing, was a shrewd silversmith, and we suspect a knavish one, for without having anything to do with the tnvention of the “art preservative of arts,” he managed to rob another of the credit and profit of it. He was, however never in Paris; he was never in his lifetime accused of the exer- cise of magical arts; he simply endeavor- ed to make as much money as he could in Germany by underselling the copyists in the book market. All stories in which necromancy is attributed to him or to any other printer; all accounts of the opposi- tion of the priest to typography as an in- fernal invention; in fine, the popular idea of Past and the devil, is a modern contrivance, and originated in this man- ner: Some bookmaker, about the year 1880, undertook to write a history of printing. He had an indistinct recollection of Prof. | Faustus, of the University of Wittenberg, and in his book blended as many of his adventures as he could remember with the memoirs of John Fast the printer; and from that day a succession of ignorant chronicles have considered two men, of totally differerft characters, living at dif. ferent times, as one individual. ; Faust, the necromancer, was born in the duchy of Weimer, in 1461, twenty- five years after the printer is understood | to have died. He is mentioned by Me- lancthon, Wierus, and many other contem- poary writers, and was probably in his time not less distinguished as a magician than Agrippa or Albertus Mognos. It is related of him by Godwin, that he was in his youth adopted by an uncle, dwelling in the city of Wittenberg, who had no children. Here he was sent to college, and was soon distinguished by the great- | ness of his talents, and the rapid progress be made io every species of learning that was put before him. He was destined by his relative to the profession of theology ; but he is said ungraciously to have set at navght his unele’s pious intentions. He went through his examinations with ap- plause, and carried off all the first prizes | p branches bended to their very roots. It seemed as ifthe whole forest were peo- pled with devils, making a crash like a thousand wagons, hurrying to the right and left before and behind, in every pos- sible direction, with thunder and light- ning, and the continual discharge of great cannon. Hell appeared to have emptied itself to furnish the din. There succeeded the most charming music from all sorts of instruments. and sounds of hilarity and dancing. Next came a report as of a tournament, and the clashing of innum- erable lances. This lasted so long, that Faustus was many times about to rash out of the circle in which he had inclosed himself, and to abandon his preparations. His courage and resolution, however, got the better; and he remained immovable. He pursued his incantations without inter- mission. Then came to the very edge of the circle a griffin first, and next a drag- on, which in the midst of his enchantments grinned at him horribly with his teeth, but finally fell down at his feet and extended his length to many a rood. Faustas per- sisted. Then succeeded a sort of fire- works, a pillar of fire, and a man on fire top, who leaped down, and there imme- diately appeared a number of globes here and there red hot, while the man on fire went and came to every part of the circle for a quarter of an hour. At length the devil came forward in the shape of a gray monk, and asked Faustus what he wanted. Faustus adjourned their further confer- ence, and appointed the devil to come to him at his lodging. He in the mean time busied himself in the necessary preparations. He entered his study at the appointed time and found the devil waiting for him. Favustus told him that he had prepared certain articles to which it was necessary that the demon should fully accord—that he should attend him at all times when required, for all the days of his life; that he should bring him everything he wanted; that he should come to him in any shape that Faustus required, or be invisible, and Faustus should be invisible too whenever he de- sired it; that he should deny bim nothing and auswer him with perfect veracity to everything he demanded. To some of these requisitions the spirit could not con- sent without authority from his master, the chief of devils. At length all these concessions were adjusted. The devil on his part also prescribed his conditions. That Faustus should ad- jare the Christian religion and all rever- ence for the supreme God; that he should enjoy the entire command of his atten- dent demon for a certain term of years; and that at the end of that period the dev- il should dispose of him, body and soul, at his pleasure, (the term was fixed for twen- ty-four years) that he should at all times steadfastly refuse to listen to any one who should desire to convert him, or convince him of the error of his ways, and lead bim to repentance, that Faustus should draw up a writing containing these particulars, and sign it with his blood, that he should deliver this writing to the devil, and keep a duplicate of it himself, that so there might be no misunderstanding. It was further appointed by Faastas that the devil should usually attend him in the habit of a cordelier, with a pleasing coun- tenance and an insinuating demeanor.— Faustus also asked the divil his name, who answered that the was usually Me- phistophiles. Nomerous adventures of Faustus are related in the German histories. It is said that the emperor Charles V. was at Ins- ruck, at the time when Faustus also re- sided there. His courtiers informed the among sixteen competitors; he therefore obtained the degree of doctor in divinity, but his success only made him proud and headstrong. He disdained his theologi- cal eminence, and sighed for distinction as a man of the world. He took his degree as a doctor of medicine, and aspired to celebrity as a practitioner. About the ae Charies,“of all the eminent persona | country same time he fell in hy ae — ies, of tastes similar to his own, a D petinted witb them in the study of Chal- dean, Greek, and Arabic science, of em | and peror that Faustus was in the town, Charles expreesed a desire to see him- He was introduced. Charles asked him whether he¢gould really perform such wondrous feats as were reported of him. Faustus modestly replied, inviting the em- ror to make a trial of his skill. “Then,” ges 1 have ever read of, Alexander the Great is the ‘man who most excites m ' curiosity, and whom it would most grati had a wart on the nape of his ne with proper precautions Faustus the r to examine the by this test.

He hb snaiiten glish woman, one Hungarian, one Freneh,.. two of Germany, and two from different, parts of Italy, all of them eminent for the. perfections which characterized their dif. . ferent countries. At length he arrived at the end of»the. term for which he had contracted with» the devil. For two or three years before « it expired his character weed alter- | ed. He became subjeet to fits of despan- : dency, was no longer susceptible of mirth, and amusement, and reflected with - agony on the close in which the. " must terminate. He assembled bis friends ; together at a grand entertainment; and when it was addressed them that this was; the last day of his life, reminding themof) the wonders with which he had frequent-. ly astonished them, and informing, them. of the condition vpon which he bad held. this power. They, one and all expressed . the deepest sorrow at the intelligence... They had the idea of something unlawful. in his proceedings ; but their notions had, been very far from cuming op to the truth, ; They regretted exceedingly that he had, not been unreserved in his communica-., tions at an earlier period. They. would: have had resource in his behalf to the. means of religion, and have applied, to, pious men, desiring them to f their power to intercede with Heavenin his favor. Prayer and penitence m a bave done much for him; and the merey. of heaven’was unbounded. They advis-. ed him to still call upon God, and endea- vor to secure an interest in the merits of the Savior. Faustus assured them that it was all: in vain, and that his tragical fate was ine: evitable. He led them to their sleeping apartment, and recommended to them: to; pass the night as they could, but by ne» means, whatever they might happen to, hear, to come out of it; as their interfe-. rence could in no way be beneficial to: him, and might be attended with the most. serious injury to themselves. They. lay- still, therefore, as he had enjoined them ; but not one of them could close his eyes. - Between twelve and one in the night’ they heard first a furious storm of wind round all sides of the house, as if it weuld have torn away the walls from their foun- dations. This no sooner somewhat abat- * ed, than a noise was heard of discordant’ and violent hissing, as if the house was full of all sorts of venomous reptiles, bat. which plainly proceeded from Faaustus’. chamber. Next they heard the doctor's room door vehemently burst open, and cries for help uttered with dreadful, ago- ny, but in a half suppressed voice, whieh presently grew fainter and fainter. Then. everything became still as if the ever- lasting motion of the world was suspen~* ded. ‘ When at length it became broad day, the students went in a body to the doc~ tor’s apartment. But he was nowhere to. be seen. Only the walls were found. smeared with blood, and marks as if bis; brains had been dashed out. His body was finally discovered at some distance , from the house, his limbs dismembered, . and marks of great violence about the. features of his face. The students gath- ering op the mutilated parts of his body. . afforded them private burial at the tem— ple of Mars, in the village where he» died. : Sharks.—A party of young gentlemen of this city started yesterday morning at five o'clock on a shark-catching excursion in the Harbor, and were fortunate enough’: between that bour and noon to take three : off Castle Pinckney, while feeding on the « carcass of a dead horse.

To'the critical eye of the connvisseur, her nocturnal ad- véntore some three years since, on the rock coast of Ireland, has left no visible marks of damage sustained on that on- fottanate occasion. The Great Britain is| in fact as great ns ever; her original bulk | is Gpbroken, and is essentially the same wonder that used to attract thousands to her wharf on her first visit to this port.— Her gigantic bull, strongas iron can make it, the exquisite symmetry of her build, to- gether with the frigate-like look of ber general rig, are every day objects of en- comium among men of taste in such mat- ters. This is not’only the largest steamer afloat, but we believe, the greatest vessel in point of dimensions that this generation can boast. There is no line of battle ship in the natives of England or the United States thatvare her equal in this respect: with 2 meaffrement of 8,500 tons, she can afford “(ample rooin and verge e- nough” for the panderous yet clock-like machine, the most striking features of which are six immense boilers and that huge screw at the stern, which drives the noble ‘fabric through the water at great speed, and still have space enough for the acedmmodation of a sufficiency of pas- sengers to conslitute a respectable village “out west.” We conceive it impossible to destroy a vessel of this description by fire. It is iron here, iron there, iron every where—the hull, the deck, the cross beams | —go where you will, foward or abaft, above or below, nothing but metal meets the eye or is trodden upon. And, to make assurance doubly sure, there is a powerful fire engine on board, (the one exhibited in the Crystal Palace.) with hose reaching from bow to stern ; and fire with steam and her 13,000 yards of canvass spread upon her four masts, the Great Britain is a sight well worth seeing, and at a distance has all the ap- pearance of an ordinary fleet under full sail. As to her interior fitting up. every thing seemso have heen done that good taste, elegance, and ati eye to the comfort of ngers could possibly suggest.— Nearly all the main deck is devoted to state rooms, and on either side, forward, ladies’ boudoirs are arranged with every convenience. In the extreme stern isa soperb lounging room, from which two staircases ascend to the maindeck. The means for lighting and ventilating the pas- sages is most admirable. Baths there are 1n plenty; in short, every comfort one is accustomed to find only at a first-class hotel. ‘The grand saloon is a perfect pic- ture gallery, tastefully decorated with ntings on glass, and the armorial bear- ngs of all nations. Over the saloon, sur- rounded by an iron railing, is a promen-. ade over three hundred feet in length, while the deck below affords a safe and sheltered walk in bad weather. This is but a casual glance at the innumcrable objects that challenge admiration as one journeys through this floating wonder. New York Evening Post. GRAND CHAPTER OF N.

Mr. Pierce and North Carolina.—During | the late Democratic disunion movements in the | South it was everywhere proclaimed as suffi. ecient cause for destroying the Union, that North Carolina and the South received no appropria.- tiens from the Federal Government. Whose fauk ie that? In 1836 a Lill passed Congress making appropriations for the improvement of rivers and harbors.

There y mach foree in the f - ing a N. Y. Commercia! on the cifcumstances attendin nomina- tion by the late Democratic Convenvtion of its candidate for the Presidency : “In canvassing this first party move— ment in the campaign, it would be unwise to overlook another fact. Each of the re- | jected candidates—Cass, Buchanan, Mar- cy, Battler, Houston, Lane, and Dickinson, wrote a formal letter committing them- selves fully and unequivocally to the final- ity of the compromises. Yet even this did not save them from an ignominious rejec- tion. Mr. Pierce wrote no such letter, and the Convention called him from his com- parative obscurity, and by a unanimous vote offered him the nomination. Yet this same Convention have passed resolutions expressing full approval of those measures. This is a deep scheme. When the South demands evidence that the Democratic candidate is sound upon that point, these resolutions will be produced. When the North complains in the opposite direction, they will be reminded that the Conven- tion marked with its disapproval every man who had pledged himself by the Scott correspondence to veto any legisla- tion that would disturb the compromises. | So that the ‘platform’ is swang apon a central pivot, equipoised by the candidate on one side and the resolutions on the oth- er, and can be made to incline either way as the necessity of the case may require. It of course is not our business to inquire whether Mr. Scott, at his own hook or at | the instigation of others, laid a snare for the candidates, with the understanding | that their letters in reply should be made | the instruments of their political death ; and whether by pre-concert Mr. Pierce avoided the trap. We can only deal with the facts that the Convention rejected eve- ry candidate who had committed himself by a pledge, and took up one that had | not. “ This is the second instance in which, within a very short time, the National Democratic Convention has refused to confer the Presidential nomination upon any of the leading men of the party, and given it, by a strong vote, to some one al- most unknown to the country. This is certainly neither flattering nor encourag- ing to those who have long and often stood in the front of the battle, and whose | names were eagerly used asa rallying cry | when the party needed such a stimatlas in | the conflict. It looks like a disposition on the part of Democracy to use its best men, but never to reward them. This matter, however, is beyond our province. If the great men of the Democratic party are content to be set aside for small men whenever there is an important nomina— tion to bestow, we can but wonder at their meekness.” THE CONVENTION QUESTION. ‘Fhe Whigs desire that when amendments are to be made to the Constitution they should be made by a Convention, by the people, be- cause it isthe cheapest, best and most republi- can method; and because it will prevent a constant partisan warfare upon the Constitu- tion, Gov. Reid opposes a Convention. Why? The following extract from bis inaugural ad. dress shows the cause of his opposition : “ The election of Judges and Justices of the Peace by the people, and for terms less than for life, are questions of Constitutional reform, which I recommend to the favorable considera. tion of the General Assembly. There are other amendments to the Constitution that have at. tracted public attention to which I doubt not, you will give that degree of consideration which their importance demands.” That explains the whole matter. ernor is afraid to trust the people. He knows that, once put before the people, the Constitu- me 8p Th tional Intell the f owing it road aibe an af the igverane fret respect to American | tions that informed classes. We feel quite asham- ed of our London namesake ;—Nat. Int. “The debate was ‘upon the bill for granting a Legislative government to New Zealand. The point onder imme- diate discussion was the mode of appoint- ing the upper branch of the Legislative Assembly, and allusions bad been made to the Senate of the United States, about which very erroneous notions seemed to be entertained. Mr. Walter, member of Parliament for Nothingham, and prin- cipal proprietor of the Times newspaper undertook to correct the previous speak- ers, and said “that, as the example of the the elective Upper Chamber of the Unit- ed States had been referred to, he might be allowed to observe that there was this essential distinction between the Up- per Chamber of this country and that of the United States, that the Members of the U'pper Chamber of the United States were elected only for life, whereas the essence of the Upper Chamber of this country consisted in jts being hereditary. “In reference to this valuable informa- tion the editor of the Times observes in his next publication that “Mr. Walker, in allusion to a remark of Sir J. Jacking- ton. showed the essential distinction be- tween an Upper Chamber in the United States and in this country.” Here is a British legislator, who represents a very |important constituency, exhibiting the most palpable ignorance respecting the | Constitution of the United States, and the editor of the “leading journal in Europe” |endorsing his error. The strangest fact | of all is, that no member of the House of | Commons corrected Mr. Walter’s error.— Can it be possible that no one discovered it?” RAIL ROAD CONVENTION. | A movement of considerable importance up- 'on the subject of Internal Improvement has | been made in some of the mountain counties. | A Convention was held at Ashville onthe 31st jult., at which the following resolutions were | | unanimously adopted ; Resolved, 1st.

WHAT FRANKLIN PIERCE HAS DONE FOR NORTH CAROLIA. As we say elsewhere Mr. Pierce has one no great good nor harm to the Coun- try. So far as what little he bas done | however, affects the interests of North Carolina, we find by a reference to the History of the River and Harbour bill, the following record: Circulate it. This bill was before the United States Senate in 1836 it was passed by Congress and was approved by General Jackson! It contained a great number of appropria- tions for important improvement in Ri- vers and Harbours in several of the South- ern States—amongst the rest there was an “appropriation for the removal of obstruc- tions at Ocracoke Inlet, N.C. $9,000. Also an appropriation for the im- proverorat of Cape Fear River, neo a C $20,000. Mr. Pierce was at that time a member of the House of Representatives. We find he voted against these apprcpriations for the benefit of North Carolina. Pass him round.— Newbernian. Mr. Clay.—'The Washington Telegraph of Saturday says that no material change has oc. curred of late in the condition of this gentle. man, but he is evidently growing more feeble He is now in a lower con. dition than he ever yet bas been ; and, though we may err, says the 7% we feel a deep conviction that his life will number but a fe days more.

Janet at the period of | | her decease, was the oldest woman, ia Scotland | | if not in great Britain, fur she was at least 110 | | years of age, and there is reason to believe that | she was even more. She had a cbild’s recol- | lection of the great national event of the battle | of Culloden, aud from many of her nearest re- | lations, the Munroes and M’Kenzies, having | been ‘out’ in that romantic and daring enter. prise, sbe conld detail a whole catalogue of cu- ' riuus incidents connected with these eventful times, which, from her retired mode of life and ‘comparatively remote residence, never found ‘their way into print. In Janet Munroe there has passed away the last inhabitant of Scotland | who was alive when Charles Edward held | state in Holyrood, or skulked as a hunted deer | amongst the Western Isles. She was a staunch | | Jacobite till her dying day, and was, we have | | no doubt, the Jast individyal in the British do- | ' minion who conscienciously believed that her Majesty held the crown by an unlawfbl tenure. It is strange to think of what has passed during | the five score years and ten which have elaps- ed since this venerable chrone was christened. She was in the prime of life when the United | States of America were English Colowies ; she | was become before Napoleon gained his first | battle, and she had lapsed into old age before {steamers or locomotives on railways were heard of. Janet belonged to the respectable class of small farmers; she was a woman of unblemished character, and was a widow for the period of 43 years. She retained till ber last moments the exercise of ber mental facul- ties, and previous to her last illoess could read the amallest print with the unaided eye.— Glassgow Herald of May 10.

Yesterday being the day appointed for the meeting of the Whig National Con- vention to select candidates of the Whig Party for President and Vice President of the United States, the Delegates compos: ing the Convention and representing every State in the Union, began to assemble at the gréat hall of the Maryland Institute an hoar or more before the time appoint- ed for opening the Convention, so that by noon almost every delegate appeared to be in his seat. When, according to our time, it lacked about five minutes of twelve o’clock, Mr. George C. Morgan, of Maryland, and Mr. Simeon Draper, of New York, rose simul- taneously, apparently with a view to call the Cenvention to order. Mr. Draper said that, the hour of twelve having arrived, he would move that the Hon. George Evans, of Maine, be called temporarily to the President’s chair. The proposition. was received with par- tial cheers and some negative voices, and amidst loud applause, Mr. Evans ascend- ed the platform. When quiet had been restored he ad- dressed the Convention as follows: Gentlemen of the Convention: I beg to return my grateful and respectful acknowl- edgements for the honor I have received at sour hands, in being called upon to pre- side for a brief space over the proceedings of this Convention. I am but little expe- rienced in the duties appertaining to the chair, and | shall have great occasion to rely upon your forbearance and intelli- gence. ([Cheers.]} Allow me to express the hope that a spir- it of order and decorum, of harmony, con- ciliation, and union, may prevail in our deliberations, [cheers & great applause ;] so that when we have completed our la- bors, and shall adjourn, we may present an.unbroken front, and be able to unfurl a signal standard around which all the Whigs of the Union can rally with the fullest hope of success. [Tremendous ap- plause and cheers.] : Renewing my thanks for the honor you have conferred upon me, I accept the sta- tion to which you have been pleased to call me. The President pro tem. then stated that the first business.to be performed would be the ap- pointment of a provisional Secretary, and invi- ted the Convention tonominate some person to perform that duty ; whereupon— Mr. Lucas, of Alabama, nominated Mr. R. A. Upton, of Louisiana, as temporary Secreta- ry ; which nomination was unanimously con. firmed. On motion, Mr. James W. Bryan, of North Carolina, was elected Assistant Secretary. Mr. Brodhead, of Missouri, moved that a committee of one from each delegation be ap- pointed for the purpose of reporting permanent officers for the Convention. Mr. Joel G. Sever, of Louisiana, rose to say a few words before this motion was put. I de- sire, (said he,) as a representative from the State of Louisiana, to enter my protest against all the action had to-day in this ball. The hour for the meeting of this Convention, appointed by the Whig Representatives in Congress, whose duty it was to fix the time and place for the meeting of this Convention, has not yet ar- rived. [Applause.] I came here as a repre. sentative of Louisiana before the hour of twelve according to the time of the Observatory at Washington. I find that this meeting has been forestalled in its organization when a portion of the Whig delegations was not present from the State of Louisiana, and there are several other Southern States not represented. I beg, under this state of affairs, that all the Whigs from the different Statee will desist from any further ac. tion, if they do not desire to destroy the unity, harmony and success of the Whig party in this National Convention. [Loud applause.] The hour of twelve had not yet arrived, and when that bour shall arrive by the true time, as reg- ulated by the Obseervatory at the city of Wash. ington, the delegations will all be in their seats and we shall select a temporary Chairman and other officers with the entire voice of the Whig representations from every State of the Union. | [ Applause. ] l implore gentlemen not to pur- sue this course. It will throw a brand of dis. cord into this convention, which will result in the destruction, defeat and final overthrow of the Whig party beyond all hope of redemption. F bope no further action will be taken until the hour of twelve shall arrive, And | beg leave to say that I have not the least objection to the present presiding officer, for I entertain forbim ete respect.

This ‘is about giving place to the black-oak, especially ‘tlevated ridges, or where the land is inclin- tobe sandy. ‘The venerable white-oaks, with diameters from 30 to 50 inches, are, in most inv'arces, surrounded by a crop of sap- ling black.oaks, leaving beneath their shade nothing to perpetuate their kind. ; If we are not mistaken in our judgment, the of this is not very bard to define. It is a matter well understood, by those who have given any attention, to the subject, that there ig, in every portion of the earth, certain ele- ments or principles, which go into the composi- tion-of vegetable matter. ‘That any particular species of vegetable will sooner or later con. sume ovt of the earth that which is peculiar to its nature, afier which that particular kind will not prosper until the principle which nourishes it is ct ring by resting the land, or % the 1} ma@uring. Li<Y Some veget@les exhaust from the soil their peculiar food more rapidly than others. Flax, for instance. that a piece of ground that had borne a crop of flax would not bear another for seven years. Isis on this principle that the roiation in crops is.predicated, a doctrine, for the knowledge of which we are indebted to our experimental fer. mers, and to book reading. This principle, of the rotation in crops, is probably as well under. stood, at this time, as anything connected with | the science of agaiculture. And this is the principle, no doult, which explains why it is tbat the white.oak is leaving our forests and TATION OF OUR FOREST; TREES.

It has Silir'te long the undisputed tenant of our woods that, having exhausted {rom the soil that aliment wpon which it lives, it retires, in the otder of Providence, to give place to a successor Whose sfecial food yet remains in rich abundance 19 thé earth: «Every farmer who has attentively obse"¥ed the progress of vegetation in his own lane 89d yard, must have noticed the operation of th's principle. ‘The order of our grounds is some- thing like this—the first occupant was the smart | weed—the next a species of white blossomed | weed—then the dog fennel, and now the yarrow is coming. 4g soon as the aliment was ex- tracted that nourished each particolar kind, ‘it | died for the want of something to livé on, and | bee 3 prt ome by another species, and perhaps ré accident determined the successor. Since our attention has been directed to this transition in the forest, we have made the sub. | thibgs of this kind. “Having been referred, with referrence to this matter, to Joshua Coperthwaite, of Nedford, New Jersey, where they have timber lands which have frequently heen cut off for the sup- of wood to the Philadelphia market. we wrote to that gentleman upon the subject, and have received bis answer, from which we take | the following extract :—* If the ping is cut off the oak will grow, and if the oak is cut off the pine will grow.” At the late State Fair, at Cincinnati, we met with an intelligent truit grower from Illinois, to | whom we mentioned this forest subject, and | found that he had noticed this change going on | among the trees of the wood. Al our request | he penciled down and handed us the following | statement. hio, and his remarks refer o this State :— * Lhave long been convinced that two gene. rations of the same kind of forest trees, seldom of never succeed each other on the same tract | of land. A crop of trees, nearly all of one | kind, which last from two to four and sometimes | } to five centuries, seem to exhaust the soil of | that peculiar nutriment, which is adapted to that | sort, and at the same time prepares it fur some | other. “Instances: there is the track of an old tor. | nado, which passed through Delaware county, the north-east corner of Licking and finally into the south east part of Knox, which, upon count. | ing the annuals on a number of stumps, [ as. | certained to have occurred about the year 1740. Inthe track of this tornado, the timber is es. sentially diferent {rom the older timber on each side of it. Again; most of the west part of Kae DOSY was, thirty years ago, when I first became acquainted with it, covered with a | growth of beach, slightly mixed with othertim. | ber. That this growth had succeeded an oak | forest was quite plain, from the fact, that oak trees of enormous size, in a state of decay, were to be found in every direction.

Dr. Bellinger accused Luther the gréat Protestant Relormer, of certain inconsistencies and im- moralities, which Mr. Bachman bas triumph- anily refuted. He concludes bis third letter with the following vivid picture of the proscrip- live asd persecuting spirit of the Roman Cath- clics—a spirit which bas never ceased to ope- rate in cruelty and wrong, whenever and wher. ever they bave bad the power to exercise it. By this it would seem that the Romish Chureh possesses a monopoly of all the fight. ing and persecution ; they would have all men submissionists but them. selves, who know how to regulate these mat- ters; and if the Princes of Germagy, to save their crowns, or poor Luther and the Protest- ants to avoid the burning pile, venture on a league for mutual defence, they receive the censure and the unsparing abuse of their op- Roman Catholic countries in Europe are filled with ruins and relics of the modes adopted to force conviction on the minds of the heretics, composed of Jews and Protestants, who relused to bow their necks to the yoke of I have witnessed many of these infer. _nal engines of oppression and cruelty, where the bodies of men were tortured in order, as I have, spent many hours in the Inquisition, and made my notes within its dark, gloomy walls, lighted by a taper, and surrounded by the instruments of torture and of eold blooded ervelty. These I shall reserve until the next batch of charges fs When and where in any land have Protestants ever received any rights or privileges from the Papacy that bas not been either wrested from them by the sword, or been granted by a necessity which their opponents could not control? What churches have heen allowed to be erected by Protestants in Roman Catholic countries which were not the effect of treaties with arms io What Protestant churches are now tolerated in purely Romon Catholic coun. tries under the power of the Papacy? Where are they to be found in Italy—in Spain—in Portugal—in South America—in Cuba? The Protestant religion is prohibited, and its pro- fessors are every where branded with the odi- | ous name of Heretics. the laws are made by legislators, and if they are oppressive and*tyrannical, the rulers, not the church, are to blame, when it is notorious that the church rules the legislators who enact It is idle to say that VALLEY ACADEMY.
