All the light that falls from the sun upon a surface of four square feet, and reflected upon the scale of a most delicate balance, does not weigh the 1200 millionth part of a grain. And the light of the fall moon is 300,000 times less than that of the sun. And how great the difference in size and weight between the largest and smallest of animals. Even the elephant with bis gigantic size, is small by the side of some of those monsters that Geology shows us to have existed in ancient times. The bones of some of them are three times as large as those of the largest an- imals now known: and the spinal mar- row was a foot indiameter. On the oth- er hand “it is certainly one of the most astonishing discoveries of modern science, that the animalcales of infusions, of which 500,000,000 may live and sport in a drop of water, should originate extensive formations of rocks and soils by their skeletons.” In one case a man obtained from less than an ounce and a half of stone, 10,450 chambered shells, of which it took 400, 500, and of some, 1000 to make a grain.

CHEMIE. SECOND DAY. Tuurspay, June 17th. The Convention was called to order at 12 o'clock by the President. Prayer by Rev’d Dr. Atkin- son of St. Peter’s Episcopal church. The proceedings of yesterday were then read by the clerk. Mr. Duncan, of La., moved the follow- ing: Resolved, That a committee, to consist of one member from each State in the Union represented in this convention, be appointed, whose duty it shall be to draft a series of Resolutions expressive of the sentiments of the Whigs of the Union on the great doctrines cherished by them— ‘or otherwise a platform of principles to be /maintained by the whigs in the coming campaign. Resolved, That the members of said committee be selected by the delegates from each State—each State represented appointing its own members ; and the committee to appoint its own chairman. Resolved, That this convention will not proceed to ballot for cr otherwise nomi- nate a candidate for President or Vice President, until said committee shal! have taken final action on said report. Mr. Van Trump, of Ohio, took the floor in opposition to the resolution, and in a speech of some length gave reasons for op- posing its passage. Mr. Dancan was surprised that there should be any opposition to the resolution. He only wished gentlemen to show their hands. Whoare we? Are we a band of brothers—are we National Whigs ?— Could we trust one another? If your principles are not ours, and ours are not yours, it is proper we should know it, and the sooner we know it better.

He thought it would be time to act in the matter after the re- port of the committee on credentials had been made. He appealed to the gentle- man not to press the resolutions if objec- tion was made to it. Mr. Goodwin, of California, objected to the action on this matter in consequence of the absence of a portion of his delega- tion, and moved an adjournment. The question was then taken on the first resolution of the series offered by Mr. Duncan, and resulted as follows : Yeas—New Hampshire 5; Vermont 5; Massachusetts 13; Rhode island 4 ; Con- necticut 6; Pennsylvania 27; Delaware 8; Maryland 8; V irginia 15; North Car- ‘ olina 10: South Carolina 8 ; Georgia 10; | Alabama 9; Mississippi 7 Louisiana 6 ; | Kentucky 12; Tennessee 12; Illinois 11; | Mossouri 9; Arkansas 4 ; Florida 3; Tex- as 4; lowa 4; Colifornia 4.—199. Nays—Maine 8; New York 35; New Jersey 7; Ohio 23; Indiana 13 ; Michi- gan 6; Wisconsin 5.—97. An amendment was offered to the se- cond resolution as follaws: * “ And that in the said committee each member be authorized to cast the vote to which it is entitled in the electoral col- lege,” which was adopted by the follow- ing vote: Ayes—Maine 8; New Hampshire 1; Vermont 1 ; Massach 3; Connecti- cut 2; New York 31; New Jersey 7; Pennsylvania 27 ; Delaware 3; Ohio 23; Indiana 13; Illinois 11; Missouri 6; Michigan 6 ; lowa 5; Wisconsin 1 ; Cali- fornia 2.—149. Navs—New Hampshire 4; Vermont 4; Massachusetts 10; Rhode Island 4; Con- necticut 4; New York 4; Maryland 8; Virginia 14; North Carolina 10; South Carolina 8; Georgia 10; Alabama 9; Mississippi 7 ; Louisiana 6 ; Kentucky 12; Tennessee 12; Missouri 2; Arkansas 4; Florida 3; Texas 4; Wisconsin 3; Cal- ifornia 2,—144. Mr. Evans then moved that the mem- bers of each delegation be allowed to vote for or against, as they chose, which was carried. Mr. Ewing, of Ohio, then offered a sub- stitue for the second resolution ag amen- ded, by which the members should vote in the usual way, and not according to the number of votes in the electoral college. A long debate ensued on the amend- ment. Without a decision the Cgnven- tion adjourned until this evening at 6 o'clock. EVENING SESSION. The crowd in the hall was immense this evening. Every part of it was occu- pied; the ladies as well asthe gentlemen being in larger attendance than usual. The President called the convention to order at 6 o'clock. The Clerk read the proceedings of the morning session. The Chair then stated that the first bus- iness in order was the consideration of Mr. Ewing’s substitute for the second of the series of resolutions offered by Mr. Duncan, of Louisiana. Mr. Jessup, of Pennsylvania, moved to amend the substitute by adding the ori- ginal amendment offered this morning. | The chair said that amendment was al- ready a part of the resolutions now before the convention. Mr. Edie, of Pennsylvania, said the Convention had already resolved by a vote to insist on the amendment. It was, not, therefore, competent now to amend what the Convention had already by re- solution amended. Mr. Jessup said he believed that the best interests of the Whig party deman- ded the amendment. The delegation from Pennsylvania go for sustaining the enact- ments of the General Government.— [Cheers.] The Whig party of that State had been grossly misrepresented, and their sentiments misconstrued. They were conservative and wished conservative resolutions adopted here. He believed that the construction of the committee on the plan proposed would produce resola- tions which would receive a unanimous aye. He believed that the delegations of Ohio and New York were misrepresent. ed as much as the delegation from Penn. He had had free intercourse with the del- egations of the three great States, and he believed that general harmony would ex- ist tosome extent. There might be some points of difference—that was to be ex- pected. But the Whigs of the middle States were as sound on every question as our southern brethren. He hoped both sections would compromise. Mr. Dawson, of Georgia, said he arose with regret, and he should speak without excitement and hoped the Convention Would act with deliberation. He agreed with the gentleman from Virginia, and believed that was the first attempt to con- vert this country into the wildest democ- racy. The principle now contended for would uproot the constitution itself. Un- der this rule little Rhode Island was enti- tled to as much power as the largest State. He knew the measure proposed had not been well considered by the Whig party. It proclaimed the wildest effort ever made to alienate one section of the Union from the other. Mr. D. said he had long belonged to the Whig party, and he believed it to be the conservative party, and he would be the last one to desert it. He believed 4hat its principle constituted the foundation of the confederacy. But when it deserted its principles, he would abandon it. Mr. D. deprecated any ac- tion by which three States would be able to control the action of allthe rest. He desi- red no discussion. He only desired that{the whig party should pursue the course mark- ed out for them by the Convention, and he boped members woald act with becoming confidence towards each other. Mr. Ashman, of Massachusetts, said he did not rise to make a speech, but to make a suggestion. He thought this was a premature excitement on an immaterial question which was delaying the action of the Convention. The committee on credentials had not yet concluded its la- bors. They were here in the Convention now, and woald not retire until the dis- cassion was concladed. They could not discharge the important duty intrasted to them unless they were afforded the op- portunity. In order to allow the commit- tee time to deliberate, be moved an 'journment until ten o’clock to-morrow, which was concored in, and the Conven- tion adjourned. THIRD DAY. The proceedings of the preceding even- ing’s omaion were read and approved. Judge Jessop, of Pennsylvania, rose to ask leave to withdraw the amendment offered by him yesterday afternoon allow- ing each member of the commitiee on credentials to cast the electoral vote of the State he represented. He said that when he offered the amendment, he did so under the idipression that if it was adopted it would tend to restore harmony among the members of the Convention, but be had since become convinced that it would exert a contrary effect, and on those grounds, and those alone, he asked permission of the Convention to be allow- ed to withdraw it. The permission was granted. The substitute of Mr. Ewing, (allowing each State one vote only in the commit- tee) was then put before the Convention for its reception and carried. The reso- lution as amended was then put to vote and adopted. A motion was then made for the ap- pointment of a Committee to prepare a suitable platform to be presented to the Convention, to be adopted and endorsed by it, as the views and principles of the whig party of the United States. The motion was adopted, ard the States called upon to choose a member. The Committee consisted of the follow- ing gentlemen: Maine, W. P. Fessenden; New Hamp- shire, Thos. M. Edwards; Vermont, Car- los Coolidge ; Massuchusetts, George Ashmun; Rhode Island, Cyrus Harris; Connecticut, A. G. Hazzard ;—New York, A. B. Dickenson; New Jersey, W. L. Dayton ; Pennsylvania, Wm. F. Johnson; Delaware, John M. Clayton; Maryland, William B. Clarke; Virginia, Robert E. Scott; North Carolina, Nathaniel Boy- den; South Carolina, George S. Bryan; Georgia, W. C Dawson; Alabama, C. C. Langdon; Mississippi, A. B. Bradford; Louisiana, G. B. Duncan; Ohio, J. A. Harris ; Kentucky, Orlando Brown; Ten- nessee, F. A. Zollikoffer; Indiana, J. S. Newman; Illinois, David K. Baker ; Mis- souri, A. B. Chambers; Arkansas, Tho- mas S. James; Michigan, George S. Pom- roy; Florida, William, B. Davis; Texas, Jobn R. Ashe ; lowa,S. M. Ballard; Wis. consin, Alexander Spalding; California, Frank Stewart. My. Watts, of Va., chairman of the com- mittee on credentials, arose and stated that the committee, after a protracted session, had agreed upon a report. He also stated that the committee had receiv- ed a communication from Washington, announcing the election of delegates from that city to the Convention, and would of- fer a resolution that they be invited to a seat upon the platform. The resolution was adopted, and the delegates from Washington took their seats. [The Committee reported in favor of the Fillmore contestants from Vermont and New York, and of the Webster con- testant from the latter State.] ~ A motion to adopt the report of the com- mittee was objected to, on the ground that there was a minority report from a por- tion of the committee. The report was read. It disagreed in every instanee from the report of the majority. Mr. Cabell, of Florida, moved that the report of the majority be adopted by the Convention, upon which motion he per- emptorily called the previous question. [After some debate, the question was put by States, and the Report was con- cured in by a vote of Ayes 164; Noes 117 A motion was here made and carried to adjourn until 5 o’clock. EVENING SESSION. Mr. Ashmun, of Massachusetts, arose and said he was instructed by the committee on res. olutions to present a report from that commitee, which he held in bis hand, and which he beg- ged to say had, after much deliberation of a conciliatory character, conducted in the kindest feelings, been adopted with great, though not entire unanimity. With the leave of the Chair- man he would now take a position in front of the chair, and read the resolutions he was in. structed to present. Mr. A. then read the platform, which was as follows : The Whigs of the United States, ia Conven. tion assembled, adhering to the great conserv- ative principles by which they are controlled and governed, and now, as ever, relying upon the intelligence of the American people, with an abiding confidence in their capacity for self. government, and their continued devotion to the Constitution and the Union, proclaim the follow. ing as their political sentiments and determina. tions, for the establishment and maintenance of which their national organization as a party is effected : 1. That the Government of the United States is of a limited character, and it is confined to the exercise of powers expressly granted by the Constitution, and such as may be necessary and proper for carrying the granted powers into full execution, and that all powers not thus granted or necessarily implied are expressly reserved to the States respectively and to the People. 2. The State governments ebould be held al Government sustained in iis constitational powers, and the Union should be revered and watched over as ‘the palladium of our liberties. 3. That while struggling freedom every- where enlists the warmest sympathy of the Whig party, we still adhere to the doctrines of the Father of his Ceuntry, as announced in his Farewell Address, of keeping ourselves free from all entangling alliances with foreign coun- tries and of never quitting our own to stand upon foreign ground,, That our mission as. 6 Republic is not to. propogate our opinions or secure in their reserved rights, and the Gener- port impose ‘ou other countries our form of govern. meat, by artifice or force, but to teach by ex. 4 and show by our success, moderation justice, the blessings of self. government, and tne advantages of free institutions. 4. Thiat when the people make and control the Government, they should obey ite Consti- \ulion, laws and treaties, as they would retain their self-respect, and the respect whieh they claim and wili enforce from foreign powers. 5. Government should be admiaistered with & strict economy, and in time of peace its ex- penses ought to be derived from specific duties and not from direct taxes ; and in Jaying such duties, sound policy requires a just discrimina. tion, whereby suitable encouragement may be afforded to American industry, equally to all classesgand to all parts of the country. 6. The Constitution vests in Congress the power to open and repair harbors, and to re- move obstructions from navigable rivers, and it is expedient that Congress, whenever such improvements are necessary for the common defence and for the protection and facility of commerce with foreign nations or States, shall consider such improvements in every instance, national and general in their character, 7. The Federal and State Governments are parts of one system, alike necessary for the common prosperity, peace and security, and ought to be regarded alike with a cordial, hab- itual and immovable attachment. Respect for the authority of each, an acquiescence in the constitutional measures of each, are duties re- quired by the plainest considerations of nation- al, of State and of individual welfare. 8. That the series of acis commonly known as the Compromise, including the Fugitive Slave law, are received:and acquiesced in by the Whig party of the United States, as a set- Ulement in principle and substance—a final set- tlement of the subjects which they embrace ; and so far as the fugitive slave law is concern. ed, we will maintain the same, and insist on its shall demonstrate the necesity of future legisla- tion fo guard against evasion of the law on the one hand, or abuse of its powers on the oth- er; and we deprecate all future agitation of the slavery question as dangerous to our peace, and we will discountenance all efforts at the revival or continuance of such agitation in Congress or out of it, whenever, wherever, and however the altempt may be made; and we will main- (aio this settlement as essential to the Nation- ality of the Whig party and the interests of the Univn. The reading of the platform was frequently interrupted by loud cheers. When the resolu- lion was i affirming the finality of the com. promise, the hall fairly shook with the applause of the assembled multitude. After order had been in some measure restored, loud calls were made for Mr. Choate. Mr. Choate responded to the call and said: I thank God that the principles I have so long contended for in Faneuil Hall—when Faneuil Hall was open—are now this day sustained by the highest authority I recognise—the author. ity of a convention of the National Whig party of the United States. [Mr. Choate then went on to address the Convention in a speech of matchless and thrill. ing eloquence. } [After an excited debate, which was partici. pated in by Mr. Anderson, of Ohio, Mr. Botts, of Virginia and others—which debate we may have occasion to notice hereafter :—] A vote by States was called for. Several membere rose to address the Chair, and sever- al propositions were made. ‘The Chair decided that any debate or motion was out of order, because the Convention had decided to sustain the previous question. The vote was then taken by States on the adoption of the Platform, and resulted as fol- lows—yeas 228, nays 66: States. Aye. Nay. | States. Aye. Nay. Maine 4 5 | Mississippi 7 - N.

Mr. Johnson, of Pennsylvania, said he did not rise to make a speech. He was a working man himself and not a speech making man.— He thought the Convention should go to work and put some one in nomination for the Presi- dency. Mr. Bryan, of South Carolina, said he bad lived and fought for the whig party, but there was something higher than party—our country, the idol of tiki old chief's heart, (pointing to the rait of Mr. Clay.) [Cheers.] He knew the value of the party and be knew the value of the constitution. When the country was in danger be did not call on whigs or democrats, but he called on true men, and true men of all parties had saved the country “a disunion. The compromise, had saved the Union. Mr. B. continued at length on the compromise and its value to the Union, and ya: «tained tri- bute to its bap mes ied by renewing the motion previous question on. lution to ballot lor candidate for the Presidency. * rs fod New Jersey Pennsylvania Delaware Se a l e la n e l el | North Carolina South Carolina Georgia Alabama Mississippi Louisiana Ohio” Kentucky Tennessee Indiana Illinois Missouri Arkansas Michigan Florida Texas lowa Wisconsin California te n t —— _ a bt OM AM I C S @ mo l PP P PE E P PE E P PP T ET TE D bt m ! “ ey e ee ne o | | Pe m l I L e l I S E L I BI LI V E Ew l o® LS ] © Total 133 131 On the 2d. 3d, 4th and Sth ballots there was no material change.

No person of active mind should try to pre- vent sleep, which, in such persons, only comes when rest is indispensable to the continuance of health. In fact, sleep once in twenty-four hours is as essential to the existence of mam- malia as the momentary respiration of fresh air. ‘The most unfavorable condition for sleep connot preventits approach. Coachmen sium- ber on their coaches, and couriers on their hor- ses, whilst soldiers {fall asleep on the field of battle, amidst all the noise of artillery and the tumult of war. During the retreat of Sir Joba More, several of the British soldiers were re, ported to have fallen asleep upon the march, and yet they continued walking onward. most violent passion and excitement of mind cannot preserve even powerful minds from sleep; thus Alexander the Great slept on the field of Arbela, and Napoleon on that of Aus- terlitz, Even stripes and torture cannot keep off sleep, as crimnals have been known to sleep on the rack. Noises which serve at first to drive away sleep, soon become indispensable to its existence ; thus a stage coach to change horses, wakes all the passengers. proprietor of an iron forge, who slept close to the din of hammers forges, and blast furnaces, would awake if there was any inte jon to them during the night; and a sick miller, who who had his mill stopped on that accent Ber sed sleepless nights until the mill resu iu usual noise. Homer, in the Illiad, ele, represents sleep as overcoming all men, even the gods, excepting Jupiter alone. The length of time passed in sleep is not the same for all men: it varies in different indi- viduals and at different ages ; but it cannot be determined from the time passed in sleep, re- lative to the strength or energy of the functions or the body or mind. From six to nine hours is the average ion, yet the Roman Em. peror, Caligula, only three hours, Freder. ick of Prussia and Dr. Joba Hunter, consumed. only four or five hours in repose, while the Scipio slept during eight. 4 rich and lazy citi. zen willglamber from ten to tw wel It is during i that most profound.

THE NOMINATION. “With mingled feelings of sorrow, pride and confidence, we throw to the breeze our banner, inscribed with. the names of the nominees of the Whig National Con- vention : For’ PRESIDENT, WINFIELD SCOTT; R VICE PRESIDENT, HON. WM. A. GRAHAM, OF NORTH CAROLINA. It is well known to our readers that Mc. Fittmore was oar first choice; We have hauled down-his flag with no little regret. By his able, statesman-like and consciencious administration of the Go- vernment, he had not only won the admi- ration of almost the whole country, but has acquired a fame as lasting as the an- nals of his country: Long may he live to enjoy it. . Mr. Wessrer was our second choice: his claims on the country can never be met: His gigantic intellect and powerful advocacy of right principles in the policy of this country has laid it under such a weight of obligation that no gift in the bestowment of the people, can discharge the debt. As in the case of Mr. Cray, who is now slowly approaching the tomb, so will it prBbably be with him: the only ‘evidence of his country’s gratitude eve shown him will be in continual demands for his services in her public councils, as ‘Jong’ as his tongue can utter, or his pen trace, his wotd¥and lines of wisdom. ‘For reasons satisfactory to the Conven- tion, both these great men were reject- ed, and Gen. Scorr nominated. He was neither our first nor second choice. But he is the first choice of the Whigs of the Union. Be it so: We had committed the chances of a candidate for our party, toa bedy of good Whig friends who, acting with better lights before them than we can pretend to have had, have deliberate- lyumade a selection; and in faithfulness to the implied agreement, we feel our- selves bound by their determination. We are, therefore, without stint or reluctance, content to do our best for this new Whig champion. He is the candidate for the masse8—the man of the people. He. who poured out his young blood at Lundy’s lane, and spared it not in Mexico, when age had chilled its current, must ever stand in high honor with his coun- trymen. The noble charter of Whig prin. ciples, which is proclaimed by the late Convention, to which Gen. Scorr has promptly given his adhesion, leaves us no- thing to doubt as to his soundness on ques- tions of Southern interest or his fitness for the crisis, and we therefore commend bim to our fellow citizens. Of Wa. A Granaw, it is needless we should add a word. He is North Caroli- na’s favorite son. The purity of his life and character, his eminent ability and fi- delity to every trust committed to his hands, are qualifications which speak to the hearts of his fellow citizens, and com- mand, as they should, their warmest de- votion.

Many gentlemen attempted io address the Chair, but the noise and cheering for some time Mr. Dayton, of New Jersey, on behalf of his State, warmly expressed thanks for the honor conferred on her distinguished son, and at some length eulogized the high military character aud civil services of Gen.

The resolutions were unanimously adopted the in their places, at the suggestion the nt, of all the members of the Convention ; which ediately afterwards ad. journed to half past five o’cléck. The Evening Session was characterized with great enthusiasm. It was opened with the reading of telegraphic despatches from Wil. mington, Delaware and Cumberland, Maryland, to the Presidential nomination of the Convention, and stating that at each place it had been received with @ salute of one bun- dred guns. Governor Jones, of Tennessee, then rose and stated that be had just received a message from Gen. Scott, which he desired to lay before the Coavention, for the benefit of the Ameri- can people. It was as follows: WasuineTon, June 21, 1852. “ Having be@W honored with being the nom. inee for President by the Whig National Con. vention, I shall accept the same with the plat- form of principles the Convention bas laid down. With respect, your friend, “ WINFIELD SCOTT.” The reading of this dispatch elicited tremen- dous applause. F A resolution was then introduced making the Presidential nomination unanimous, which was adopted by acclamation, and was succeeded by reiterated cheering. Next followed a resolution submitted by Mr. Ely, of Ohio, in the following terms : Resolved, That Millard Fillmore, President of the United States, deserve our hearty and enthusiastic gratitude, for the truly constitutional and patriotic principles upon which be has ad. ministered the Government, and the Whigs of the United States will ever look upon his Ad- mioistration as one of the most succéssful and patriotic in our history. This resolution was received with great ap- plause and cheering, and was unavimously a- dopted. Mr. Duncan of Louisiana, then offered the following : , -Resolved, That second, and only second, to the illustrious Clay, in the estimation of the Whigs of Louisiana, and of the Union of the United States, in his connexion with the struggles of their party and with the comprom. ise méasures, stands the name of Daniel Web. ster; whose fame fills the Union; ‘whose pa- triotism embraces the length and breadth of the land; whose pure seli devotion on a recent memorable occasion proved that he knew no Norta no South; aod who will at all times be named with praise in every Jahd and on every sea in which the banner of the Union may be unfurled, This resolve was also received with prolong. ed and hearty cheering, amidst which Mr. Sfar. kie, of Mississippi, rose and proceeded to pro. nounce a brief but eloquent eulogium on the character end services of Mr. Webster, which he concluded by submitting a resolution expres. sive of the abiding confidence of the Whigs of the United States in his wisdom, patriotism, and integrity, and pledging to him the everlast. ing gratitude of the American people. This was likewise received with cheers, and both resolutions were adopted with acclamation. The Convention then proceeded to vote for a candidate for Vice President.

Mon- ument Square was densely filled, and the sev. eral streets leading thereto were densely pack- ed. It is estimated that there were upwards of 10,009 persons present. The speak. er’s stand, located on the eastern wal) of the court house, was decorated with national flags in a taste(ul manner, whilst in the centre was placed. a white silken banner, with the signifi- cant sentiment—" We Ratify hs Nomination.” The meeting was severally addressed by Messrs. Gardner, of Alabama, Williams, of Kentucky, Andrews, of Ohio, Upton, of Louisi. ana, Yerger, of Mississippi, Jones, of ‘Tennes see, Spooner of Massachusetts, and Edney and Miller, of North Carolina. We find the fol- lowing notice of Mr. Miller’s remarks in the “ Baltimore American”? “ Henry W.

Seo id regarded his action in connection with ‘the Convention as deserving of praise. _ General Scott had. refused to write, letters—he had not sought the womination, and by writing let\ers explanatory of his position, it would have shown a desire to obtain the selection. He wished no man to assure him of Gen. Scotts’s fidelity to the principles of the National Whig Party—it was proven by the actions of his whole life. Afier Mr. Miller had concluded his remarks, Mayor Jerome requested an expression of the meeting in regard to the action of the Qonven. tion, and proposed that if the audience were disposed to ratify the nomination, they should so express themselves by giving three cheers for Gen. Scott. Three loud and enthusiastic cheers for Scott were accordingly given, and about 12 o’clock the meeting adjourned,” RESPONSES TO SCOTT’S NOMINA- TION. Boston, June 22.—The. announcement of Gen. Scott’s nomination yesterday, was received with mingled cheers and hisses, the latter predominating. The friends of Mr. Webster were greatly chagrined, and the streets crowded with people discuss- ing the nomination in a sullen mood. To- day, however, there is a better feeling among them, but still much. opposition and angry debate. The Commonwealth newspaper, (free soil.) in heralding the namination, added, “State street groans.” The Atlas office bas run up the Scott flag, and the friends of the nominee have fired one hundred guns on thecommon. The rejoicings are far from being general or hearty. . Porttann, Maine, June 2lst. — The Whigs here are in fine spirits, and are giving expression to their delight at the novnination of General Scott by the firing of guns, rockets, &c., and a general illu- munination. , Concorp, N.

Internal Improvement in North _ Carolina, shes Mr. Eprror: The time is drawing near when the people of the several Counties and Senatorial Districts will again exercise the privilege of ing the mem- bers who will compose: thé ao ap Beck = of North Carolina, at its next session. Perhaps, at no former period of our State’s history, has it been of more vital importance to us, as citizens of the West, upon whom we should bestow this trust. It is well known that the State of North Carolina, by her Legislature, has chartered a Rail Road from Goldsborv’ via Raleigh to Charlotte, which is now in course of completion, and in which the State has in- vested two-fifths of the Stock necessary to build it.— Besides this, she has granted Charters to numerous Plank Roads and Navigation Companies. So far, we say as friends of a system of Internal Improvement, she has done nobly, and our thanks are due to many noble-minded and liberal gentlemen of both political parties who showed themselves as men who could dis- regard sectional and party ties, and come up boldly for the good of the Commonwealth. It will readily be seen that the most important of all these Internal Improvement Bills is the one for the Cen- ‘tral Rail Road from Goldsboro’ to Charlotte, and it is so, first, because it traverses mote than two hundred miles of the State nearly through the centre. Secondly, its Eastern terminus reaches within fifty miles of our sea- coast and eighty miles of Beaufort Harbour, which has been pronounced the safest and most eapacious harbor South of Norfolk. Thirdly, it is the nucleus or base upon wéich all the other improvements of a similar kind in the State must take their roots. Fourthly, it will inevitably form a portion of the greatest line of Rail-way in the Southern States, or, perhaps, in the Union ;—and this last will depend, in a great degree, upon the fature action of our State Legislature in re- gard to ite extension East to Beaufort and West to the Tennessee line—and from thence to: Knoxville by the Legislature of that State. When the project of the North Carolina Central Road was first aguated, we had reason to fear that our people would be deceived by the flattering inducements held out to them by the Danville Rail Road Com y on the one hand and the Charlotte and Columbia Cone pany on the other—that it was our policy to connect Danville with Charlotte by runnin diagonally » across our State, and thus making a suicidal thrust at our own interests [pret by making the only outlet to our travel and agricultural productions by Rail-way through Virginia or South Carolina. Even the “ City of Oaks,” our own State Capital, was to be thrown far out of the way. We have reason to rejoice already that this was not done, and that we had patriotism and State pride in our Legislative counsels enough to stay it.

C., Jane 25, 1859. ae $100 REWARD: ANAWAY from the subscriber, living in Phila- delphia congregation, Mecklenbarg county, N C., about the 13th of April, 1851, two Negro Boys, PETER and TOM. The above reward will be paid for the apprehension and delivery in any Jail so that I get them again, of the two Boys, or $5U for either one. Description.— PETER islarge shouldered, and a little knock-need, has several teeth out in front, is quick spoken ; and has a lump on his left shoulder.— His age is between 30 and 35 yeurs—his height about 5 feet 11 inches. TOM is low and chunky, with a scar in his fore- head from a cut. He is about 26 years of age, of a dark copper color. Both of these boys are quite inte‘ligent and well cal- culated to deccive. They will no doubt aim at getting to a free State, as they tried to get a white man to take them off. But I have reason to believe they are now lurking about in the vicinity of Salisbury. They are passing themselves off as free boys. Any information concerning them will be thankfully received, and the reward paid upon delivery as above said. JAS. J. MAXWELL.

SAFE and certain cure for Consumption of the Lungs, Spitting of Blood, Coughs, Colds, Asth- ma, Pain in the side, Bronchitis, Hooping Cough, and all Pulmonary affections. Opinions of the Press. The Louisville Journal says: “ Dr. Rogers’ Liver- wort and Tar not only gives immediate relief in coughs and colds, but, from the testimony of men of the high- est standing here and elsewhere, it is making some very remarkable cures of consumption.” The Rahway Register adds: ‘“ We have heard it stated, by persons of great respectability, who have used this medicine, that it is one of the most remark- able medicines of the age, for coughs, colds, influenza, bronchitis, asthma, pain in the side and breast, spitting of blood, whooping cough, and all lung complaints, which, if neglected, usually terminate in consumption; and the certificates attached to the advertisement would seem fully to justify this statement.” Liverwort.—This plant has, for many years, been found to be of singular virtue in the cure of af- fections of the Liver. More recently it was ascertain- ed that it possessed great power in arresting Bleeding at the Lungs, Coughs of a chronic character, &c., and of essential service in all diseases of a pulmonary cha- racter. Tar.—This article is now universally acknow- ledged to be the most healing and efficient application for diseased or decaying lungs, or any portion of the fleshy or muscular parts of the human body. Its med- icinal and preservative qualities were understood by the Egpptians in the early ages of the world, and no doubt now exists among scientific men, that the pre- paration used in the embalmment of bodies, was com- posed principally of this ingredient. In later ages, it wae found to be in universal use among the aborigines of America, and at this day it is their principal, and, in fact, only medicine for an unsound state of the lungs, or any approach to it. Those who are acquainted with the history of this hardy race of men, know that a death from Consumption is unknown among them !— The medical faculty in all countries appear to have be- come aware of the great healing properties of this ar- ticle, and afe now introducing it in their practice. Dr. Buchan, of England, Dr. Crichton, of St. Petersburg, Dr. La Prieare, of Paris, and the distinguished Dr. Cooper, have been in the habit of combining it with other articles in their prescriptions, and with entire success. ‘ ; 7 Beware of Counterfeits and Base Imitations!

It is the duty of all to guard against scat. tering the fruits of labor heedlessly to the winds. We would inculcate lessons of frugality at the same time guard our readers against falling in- to overdone economy—penuriousness ; it too is an evil we would deprecate. Young man, we would beg you to closely study the lesson of frugality; your father may have thousands at his command ; you may be looking forward to the day when you can inberit it all, even sigh. ing for the salbles you are not yet permitted to wear, but, mark, it may shake hands with you in a @hort, time, and leave you penniless and a beggar. * It is for you to decide the question— will you be honorable and independent or a drivelling, sponging outcast upon society.— Chose ye between the two. . IS “PROTESTANTISM INCOMPATIBLE WITH LIBERTY.” This evening, at the Tabernacle, Dr. Brown- son, of Boston, is to-maintain the affirmative of this question in a lecture given before the Cath. olic Institute of New York. Wo know the Doctor basa rather curious mode of reasoning ; but we are very anxivus to know what kind of arguments he can produce ‘or such a novel proposition as that. In the first announcement in the Freeman’s Journal, the subject of the lecture was stated to be * Protestautism Incom. patible with Republicanism.” It has been since corrected. It is a distinction without a difference, for the highest form of liberty as yet known to the human race is republicans") as it exists in the United States, and Protesianiism | is the very essence of this liberty and republi- canism. _In fact, Protestantism has been al- ways charged by Catholic controversialists as being the excess of liberty, and as giving more | lreedom to man than is good forhim. The ve. | ry origin of Protestantism was the breaking of | the shackles of spiritual despotism, and its ten dency every where is towards civil liberty, whereas absolute monarchies and despotic gov ernments furnish the congenial soi! in which Catholicism flourishes and thrives. In this country it is a sickly exotic. We shall, there- itor of the Catholic Review has to say in sup. port of his view of the subject.—N. Y. Herald. The Wilmington Journal insists upon it that it has analyzed the vote on the Homestead bill, and finds that on!y 18 or 19 Whigs voted a— gainst it. 18 or 19? Why not one or the other positively, if the Editor has analyzed the vole 7 But we too analyzed it, and found 21 Whigs voted against it. We can well understand why the Journal would have us overlook * party considerations” in reference to this iniquitous Homestead bill. The Locofoco party is responsible for it, both for having originated it, and for furnishing the large mass of its supporters. It is not popular in North Carolina, and therefore the Journal would gladly keep its origin out of view. But even Gov. Reid has come out in favor of it.— Fayetteville Observer. 5 WHAT IS HE RESERVED FOR. There is a lad only twelve years of age, W. H. Waddell, living at Pocahontas Arkansas, who in the spring of 1850 was stabbed, the wound thought to be mortal ; the same lad was knocked senselessly cold by lightning, in the fall of 1851; wasrun over by four mules and a wagon; last winter, fell from the third story window, lighting ‘coslam’ upon a pile of stones; .and about six Weeks since was shot, three balls entering his body. The hero of all these ugly accidents is still alive and heal.- thy, being reserved, doubtless, for some other kind of ‘shuffling off this mortal coil.’ A boy from the country was recently taken into a gentleman’s family. One evening, afier having been called up to the drawing room, he as the water continues to be ver these diggings. Others again are of the opinion that the Raleigh Clique, finding out that John Kerr is playing the deuce with “ Dainty Davy,” getting the decided advantage of him in the discussions, as an Edgecombe Democrat says he did at Weldon, have sent Old Roan on a chase out West, to try to help his Excellency mg out of the awkward fix he is in. patriotic and hansome’ young man, the Editor of the Standard and Governor de facto, be so obliging as to enlighten the good people this way as to the whar-about of the late Minister to “poor, unhappy Spain’?

S. Whig. GOOD. In the course of the debate at Raleigh Gov. Reid said that “He would invoke the clemency of Gen. Saunders far Mr. Kerr—he would strive to do so, because he wished to re- serve him for his own use. He would al- so induce his friends to use their influence with the General to the same purpose ; for Mr. Kerr will find, when he gets hold of him, that whatever Gen. Jackson may be, he (the Saunders gforesaid,) is no dead in replying to the Governor’s speech, Mr. ‘.err said that lic thanked his competitor for his kindness, in seeking for him the mercy of Gen. Saunders, but emphatically declin- ed availing himself of it. Bat whenever he gave a vote, which shall be seized upon by the Abolitionists of the North as a tri- umph of their principles, or which shall compromise the honor of the South, he will implore bis mercy. As to Gen. Saunders being no dead lion, he was perfectly aware of it. He had tried him, and found him to be a living animal, but of an entirely dif- ferent spectes.” ANOTHER NATIONAL CONVEN. TION CALLED. A circular dated at Washington, and sigaed by Samuel Lewis, chairman, has been issued, calling “a National Conven- tion of delegates of the free democracy, at the city of Pittsburg, on Wednesday, the eleventh day of August next, at noon, for the purpose of selecting candidates for the offices of President and Vice President of the United States.” Friends of the principles declared at Baffalo, at the me- morable Convention of August, 1848, are requested to send delegates. In connec- tion with this call, it is stated that the Hon. Mr. Durkee, representative from Wisconsin, is determined to oppose the election of Pierce and King. Other de- mocratic members of Congress, it is said, will do the same, and amongst these is Dr. Townsend, of Obio, and the Hon. S. P. Chase, Senator from Obio. SIGNS, &c. We never did see people hate any thing so bad as the Democrats do the nomina- tion of Gen. Scott. We knew some of our Whig friends, who bad contracted a great admiration for Mr. Fillmore, would be mortified at the result. Bat the Demo- crats, Gemini! We hope they won't hart themselves.— Rich.

WINFIELD SCOTT, AND WILLIAM A. GRAHAM. try to reflect that he bas it in his power, by his vote, to testify his admiration, and record his name as the friend and advo- cate of such noble Americans. It has suited the Democratic party to place in nomination for our highest offi- ces, men comparatively unknown and un- distinguished—men with whose charac- tersthe people are not acquainted— whose deeds bave not rendered them remarka- ble—whase talents never fitted them toac- quire either fame or popularity—upon whom the recordsof the country have not stamped enduring honor or immortal fame. If they ever attain to any, there- fore, it must be manufactured for them by the partisan presses—the enlisted Swiss of their political fortunes. But upon every page of our country’s history, “blazoned all over in characters of living light,” will be found the peerless and glorious name of WINFIELDSCOTT —the first and bravest in war—the most distinguished and patriotic in peace. His mingled with all the illustrious recollec- tion of the past, and now blended with the best and brighest hopes for the future. It is not necessary to eulogise WIL- LIAM A. GRAHAM in North Carolina. There he is—behold him and judge for yourselves. He has always been invinci- ble—a tower of strength for the State which he has honored, and which has hon- ored him: and North Carolina now pre- sents him before the country, with great pride, as her brightest jewel. The positions in which these great men have been placed before the country by the National Whig Convention, though richly deservéd on their part, and very acceptable to large masses of the people, yet have now been rendered highly popu- lar at the South by the sound and conser- vative PLATFORM on which they will stand, and which was laid down as indis- pensable by the Southern Delegates, con- ditional to their support of any candidates —and upon which, also, Tag Rateicn Times bas always avowed that ils sup- port of the Whig Nominees depended. WHIG CONVENTION—THE NOMINA. TIONS. Although our intelligence from the Whig Na- tional Convention at Baltimore is incomplete and unsatisfactory as to the closing proceedings, yet we are enabled to announce that GEN. WINFIELD SCOTT , received the nomination for President, on the 53d or 54th balloting. And that WILLIAM A. GRAHAM, OF N. C., received the nomination for Vice President, over Jones of Tennessee and Pearce of Maryland, afier several ballotings. We refer the reader to the regular report of proceedings, so far as we have them, for par- ticulars in regard to the nomination for Presi- dent. We cannot say that we are disappoint. ed in the result, Lowever much we may have desired it otherwise. With our fellow Whigs of the Stete, we cherished the warmest regard for Mr. Fillmore, and a willingness to do po- litical battle under his leadership, no matier what fate awaited.

I know that much anxiety and many trials are to be dthrongh before the ratification of the people shall be heard, Whether it shall confirm the action of the Convention or not, I shall be satiated, fo4 I know that it will be conferred upon a man deserving your confidence ahd sup- rt. {In whatever position I may be placed, it shall continue to be the great aim of my life to discharge my duty to my country. If I should be elevated to that distin- guished position for whieh I have been named, I shall seek so to conduct myself as to merit the confidence which you have so kindly bestowed upon me in advance. Gentlemen, you find me greatly fatigued and exhausted, and for the present | can only thank you for this kind congratula- tion—the first of the kind whi¢h I have ever received—and bid you all a good night. The procession then proceeded to the residence of the Hon. Wa. A. Grawam ; and, after beautifal and appropriate music by the band, Mr. Grabam appeared, and spoke nearly as follows: Fellow-Citizens: I appear before you to tender to you my thanks for the com- pliment of this visit, and my congratula- liberations of the Convention of the Whigs of the United States assembled at Balti- more..

According to previous notice a lar : spectable assembly of persons tusk the Oem House in the town of Newton, N. C., on the Ist July, 1852, for the purpose of sending dele. gates to attend a Rail Road meeting to be held in Morganton on the 21st of July, 1852. Drury Hamilton was then called to the Chair, George Setzer appoint. e The following committee was appointed to draft Resolutions expressive of the feelings of the meetin stowit: Dr. A. Shu- ford, D. R. Gaithes George Seine, A. Sbuford and Dr. O. Campbell. The commit- tee after retiring for a while returned, and through their Chairman, reported the following Resolutions. Wuere as, we have seen that an Internal Improvement meeting was held in the town of Morganton on the 24th June, to take measures preparatory toextending the Cer.tral Rail Road West from some point at or near Salisbury. _ 1. Resolved, That we are in favor of extend. ing the Central Road from Salisbury West to the Tennessee line. 2. Resolved, That we recommend as the most central and practicable route {rom Salis. bury direct to Newton, Morganton, Marion, Asheville, and down the French Broad River to Paint Rock. 3. Resolved, That we are in favor of the State taking the same amount of Stock in said Road that she did in the Central Road. 4. Resolved, That we approve of the pro. posed meeting to be held in Morganton for the purpose of carrying out the foregoing Resolu- lions. 5. Resolved, ‘That the Chairman appoint 60 delegates to meet delegates from other coun. ties along the line in Convention at Morganton, on the 21st July, 1852. 6. Resolved, That we request the condidates for the next Legislature to express their opin- ions fully at all the tax payings on the above Resolutions. The Resolutions were then ably advooated by A. H. Shuford and others, and then were put to the House and passed unanimously. The Chairman then appointed 60 delegates to attend the Morganton Convention. Resolved, ‘That the proccedings of this meet. ing be signed by the Chairman and Secreta. ries, and be sent tothe Lincolnton Republican and Salisbury Watchman, and request that they publish the same. On motion, the meeting adjourned. DRURY HAMILTON, Ch’n. Geo. Setzer, Sec’ri E. J. Kirksey, f Ne de Bed Secretaries. A NEW COUNTY MEETING At Clarksbury Church, Iredell County. In accordance with previous notice, a large and respectable portion of the citizens of Ire. dell county, met at Clarksbury Church, on Sat. urday 3rd instant, for the purpose of nominat. ing some suitable person as a Williams County candidate. ‘Tbe meeting organized by calling Dr. Jonn W. Exits to the Chair, and appoint. ing C. J. Anperson and W. T’. Garrner as Secretaries. ‘The Chairman then explaining the object of the meeting in a brief and appro. priate manner, and also suggesting the idea that a Committee of ten respectable citizens be appointed to consider and select some suit. able candidate to represent and carry out the We have 4 dicotectons beteqaingtee rived for gubernatorial bonors, from and Democrats, and all agree that Kerr winds up the Gov. de j Si pe much ease as be would a ball pers would have us And yet the Democratic believe little Davy is a modern Cicero |— Who that knows, the candidates believe such high falutin of Gov. Reid’s oratorical rs as they at- tempt to palm upon t le? the Governor himself, in bie very Prt 4 um at Albemarle, admitted that Mr. Kerr was much the better speaker! The truth is, these anonymous gentlemen feel the incompetence of their candidate as much as he does himself, and are determined if possible, even at the expense of veracity, to write him into public favor. The game won't do, gentlemen scribblers—better send for Senator Douglass, or call off the Governor aod put Gen. Rigmarole on the track. Even then your cause would be hopeless, for John Kerr would make ei- ther of them fall before him with as much facility as ever Frank Pierce fell from his horse. We have the double advantage in this conlest—we not only have the most pop- ular man and the best speaker, but have, besides, the best cause. This Convention question—the naughty thing—will sweep the stakes. The people are for it; and, however much Gov. Reid, Gen. Saunders and the Standard may sneer at it, they be- lieve in the majority principle. Concord Mercury. [From the New York Mirror. } WHOIS W. A. GRAHAM. William A. Graham is not so widely and generally known as Gen. Scott, but where he is known he ranks among the truest and noblest of men. The selection of such a man—sim- ple and unostentatious—replete in every ability and virtue, could not have been better. He is worthy of the highest office and honor. William A. Graham was first known to the Nation in 1841, when he was chosen to fill a vacancy in the United States Senate, and serv. ed through the memorable XXViIth Congress. He was not re-elected, because the Legisla— ture of 1842-3 was of adverse politics. In 1844, he was chosen by the Whigs as their candidate for Governor, and carried the State over an able and popular opponent by 3,153 majority on a larger vote than was ever before polled. He was re-elected in 1846 by 6,859 majority, and declined a third term, retiring to private life. In 1850, on the accession of Mr. Fillmore, he was called into the Cabinet, to fill the post of Secretary of the Navy, which he still holds.

Commander in Chief of the Army.—lIt ap- pears it is not certain that in case of General Scott’s election, General Wool would become the Commander.in-Cheif of the Army, as it would depend on the will of the President. A Washington letter says : “On the death of Major General Brown, the the contest was between Genera! Scott and General Gaines—the one senior by brevet and the other by lineal rank, which is precisely the case between General Wool and General Twigs. Gen. Wool’s lineal rank dates from 1841—General Twigs’ from 1846 ; brevet rank of the former, 1847—of the latter, 1846. Pres. ident Adams appointed Col. Macomb Major General over both Scott and Gaines, as senior- ity does not establish promotion in the army beyond field or regimental officers.” a Died.

The above reward will be paid for the apprehension and delivery in any Jail so that J get them again, of the two Boys, or @5U for either one. Description.—PETER islarge shouldered, and a little knock-need, has several teeth out in front, is quick spoken ; and has a Jump on his left shoulder.— His age is between 30 and 35 yeers—his height about 5 feet 11 inches. TOM is low and chunky, with a scar in his fore- head from a cut. He is about 26 years of age, of a dark copper color. Both of these boys are quite inte:ligent and well cal- culated to deccive. to a free State, as they tried to get a white man to take them off.

This was the hard. est fougit battle of the war. For his gallantry in these actions, Scott was soon afier promoted to the rank of Major-Gen. eral. On Nov. 3d, 1813, Congress passed a resolution awarding him a gold medal. Soon afterthe treaty of peace, President Mad. ison tendered to Gen. Scott a place in his Cab. inet—that of Secretary of War. This compli. mentary office was declined trom motives high- ly creditable to Gen. Scott. Being still feeble from his wounds, he soon after went to Europe for the restoration of bis health, and for professional improvement. He was also entrusted by the Government with im. portant diplomatic functions, He executed his instructions in so satisfactory a manner that President Madison caused to be wriiten to him by the Secretary of State, a_special letier of thanks. In 1832, Scott was ordered to take com. mand ofthe Black Hawk war. He sailed from Buffalo for Chicago, with nearly one thousand troops, in four steamboats. On the 8th of July, while on the voyage, the cholera broke out among the troops with fear- lul violence. On the boat in which Gen.

During the summer of 18—, soon afier the been amicably adjusied by a visit of one of Gov. Cass, a Sioux Indian, while out hanting by the mouth of the Root river, shot and scalp. ed aWinnebago which act be attempted tojustily by saying that the Winnebayo had wrapped a- round his person the blanket of an Indian who a short (ime previous, bad murdered his broth- the act, and about two thousand of them assem. bled at Fort Crawford, and demanded of Col. Taylor the procurement and surrender of the murderer. The officers of the fort, apprehen. sive that new difficulties might arise with this factious tribe, if their demands were unattended to, concluded to make an effurt to obtain the murderer. Accordingly an officer was despatch. ed lo demand him of the Sioux nation, who im. mediately gave him up, and he was brought down the river and confined at Fort Crawford. Soon afier his arrival at the Fort, the Winneba- goes again assembled and insisted upon an un- conditional surrender of the prisoner to them which Col. Taylor refused to make, but de- spatched Lieut. R. and Dr. Eluise, the surgeon of the garrison to have a talk with them upon the subject. At the conference the Winneba- goes talked in a threatening and overbearing manner, and insisted that nothing would satisfy them but taking the life of the Sioux in their own way and bythemselves. At length Lieut. R. proposed that the Indian should have a chance for bis lile in the following manner : Two weeks trom that time he was to be led out upon the prairie, and in a line with bim, ten paces off, was to be placed upon bis right and left, twelve of the most expert runners of the Winnebago nation, each armed with a toma. hawk ard a scalping knife. Atahe tap of the drum, the Sioux should be free to start for the home of his tribe, and the | Winnebagoes free to pursue, capture and scalp him it they could. ‘To (his proposal the Wihnebagoes acceded at once and seemed much pleased with the an- ticipation of great sport, as well asan easy conquest of the prisoner, whose confinement in the garrison during two weeks they believed would prostrate whatever running qualities be possessed. ‘Uheir best runners wese immedi- ately brought in, and trained every day io full sight of the fort. Lieut. R., who had warmly enlisted if tbe cause of the Sious, determined to have bis Indian in the best possible trim.— Accyrdingly Eluise took him in charge, pre- scribing his diet, regulating the hours of repose day with flesh-brushes immediately betore he went upon the parade ground to perform his morning and evening trainings. In fact, so careful was he trained and fitted foe the race, of life and death, that he was tried upon the parade ground the fourth day before the race ‘The day at length arrived. ‘Thousands of Indians, French, American and others had as- sembled to witness the scene.

At this announcement the countenance of the Indian brightened up with a smile, bis whole person iftted from the ground as he turned to by | his position in the line with a stalwart stride. The chiefs and Lieut. R. soon afier mounted their borses and took a position direcily in the rear of the prisoner. Spectators were remo» ed from the front, when Lieut. R. gave the signal; the blow had scarcely reached the drum, when the prisoner darted from his antag. onist with a bound that placed him beyond the reach of the whirling tomabawk. hen the race was underway, many of bis antagonists ran with great fleeiness for a mile when the distance between them and the Sioux began to widen rapidly, showing the superior botiom of the latter, acquired by the discipline of the white map. At the end of two miles the last of the con- tending; Winnebagoes withdrew from the chase; there was not an Indian horse upon the ground that could keep up with him afier he had gone the first halfmile. Lieut. R., finding his steed much fatigued, and the prairie free from ene- mies, reigned vp. The Indian did not look be- bind nor speak as far as he was followed or seen, but kept his eye steadily fixed upon the white flags that had been placed at distances of half a mile apart, in order that be might run upon a straight line. It was soon afier reported by the Winneba.- goes that he had been killed by one of their boys, who had been secreted by order of War. kon shutes. kee, beneath the bank of the river, near the upper end of te prairie. This, how. ever, proved not to be true. ‘The boy had shot a Winnebago through mistake, who like him. seli had been treacherously secreted for the purpose of intercepting the Sious,: who a few years ago was present ata treaty made by Gov.

To the President of the National Whig Con- vention : Sie: This communication will be presented to you and through you tothe delegated wisdom of the Whig party, over which you preside, by Hon. George R. Babcock, who représents in your body the Congressional District in which I reside. I trust that I shall be pardoned by the Conven- tion for adverting briefly to the course which I have pursued and the causes which have in- duced ii, as a means of explaining why I have selected this time and mode of making this an- nunciation. All must recollect that when I was so sud— denly and unexpectedly called to the exalted station which I now occupy, by the death of my lamented and illustrious predecessor, there was a crisis in our public affairs full of difficul- ty and danger. The country was agitated by political and sectional passions and dissensions, growing out of the slavery and territorial ques- tions then pending, and for which Congress had as yel been able to agree upon no measure of compromise and adjustment. The Union itself was threatened with dissolu— tion, and patriots and statesmen looked with apprehension to the future. In that feeling I participated most profoundly. ‘The difficulties and dangers which surrounded us were calm— ly but anxiously surveyed. I was oppressed by a sense of ihe great responsibilities that rest- ed upon me, and sincerely distrusted my ability to sustain them in a manner satisfactory and useful to the country, But I was, bound to make the attempt, and to do it with any hope of success, I felt it necessary to discard every porsonal consideration, and devote myself to the difficult task before me with entire single— ness of heart. To prepare and strengthen myself for, this task | endeavored to lay aside, as far as practi— cable, every merely selfib consideration—to banish from my mind every local or sectional prejudice,—and to remember only that I was an American citizen, and the magistrate of the American Republic, bound to regard every por— tion and section of it with equal justice and im— partialty. ‘That I might do this the more effec— tually, I resolved within myself not to seek a reelection. Thus prepared, I entered upon the discharge of my official duties, with a determination to do everything in my power to aid in the settlement of those dangerous controversies. Fortunately for our favoted country, a majority in both Houses of Congress, rising above mere party and personal considerations nobly and patriot. ically devoted themselves to the great work of pacification. ‘The constitutional advisers whom I had called to my aid, and to whose fidelity, talents and patriotism the country is chiefly in- debted for any benefit it may have received from my administration, with a unanimity and zeal worthy of every commendation, cordially gave their countenagce and influence to the legislative department, in pertecting and adopt- ing those healing measures of Compromise, to which, upon their passage I felt bound, by every consideration of public duty, to give my official approval.

The marchioness walks to a chair placed for her accommodation, hold- ing up her long Uress in a very lady like style, and remains seated till her vehicle is repaired, when she bounds again into it and drives off. Then there were some equestrian exercises, the horses being dogs and the riders monkeys. Then a goat was introduced, which walked on its knees, fired off a pistol by pulling a string attached to the trigger, and did various other feats. A large white dog was the next performer, whose doings were per- baps as surprising as those of any other member of the*troupe. ~ “ At first, he merely ran round and round the stage ; at a signal froin the exhibitor, he lifted one of bis fore feet, and ran on the other three, as though he had become suddenly lame; tuen he changed the im- aginary lameisess to his other fore foot; then to one of his hind feet; then to the oth- er; he was next lame in his right fore fout and his left hind foot, at the same time, gallopping around on two feet only ; last and most wonderful of all, he lifted from the ground one fore foot and one hind foot on the same side, and in that extraordina- ry manner ran round the stage rapidly several times. The pantomine scene of the ‘deserter’ created considerable amuse- ment. “The deserted was personaied by a dog dressed in the uniform of a French soldier. He took his place on the stage very demurely. An advocate in his robes produced the legal authority for the exe- cution. When all was ready, the eyes of the deserter were bandaged, a monkey soldier advanced took aim and fired.— The deserter fell forward, dramatically dead; and though the exhibitor lifted him roughly by one leg, he made no mo- tion, and his limbs hung down languidly. Then came the grave-digger, with lan- tern, spade, and black dead cart. The dead body was placed in it, and away went the monkey sexton, drawing his load in the dwadling, mechauical manner of a monkey who was used to it. Towards the close of the evening, the entertain- ments were varied by the Revolutionary Hero alluded to above as the ‘ revolving man.’ This individual spun run upon one leg, with something of the rapidity of a | humming top—fast enough at least for the colors of his dress to blend, and the parts of bis body to be undistinguisbable. “But more: while thus revolving. be held upon each hand a large plate, and upon each plate there were three or four tumblers half full of colored water; and to his immortal honor be it recorded, not a drop was spilled. The performances closed by the ‘ assension of the dog John Bull, surrounded by a brilliant display of tireworks.’” John seized the end of a rope in his teeth, and though he was lified up twenty feet from the stage. and surround. ed by a semi-volcano of fireworks, yet did the gallant Bull cling to the rope’s end with the tenacity with which the king of terrors is popularly supposed to adhere to fur the year and fifiy-one, Sze. 3.

On Sunday night, about nine o’clock, one of the most shocking tragedies occurred in South Charles street, which it has been our misfor— tune to record for some time. It appears that a man named Wm. H. Williams had, of Jate, reasons to suspect the fidelity of his wife, and accordingly left her, giving her all the furniture he possessed. On Saturday last she left the house of her injured husband, and removed her effects to No. 333 South Charles street. The husband, still having that affection for his er— ring wife, whieh all men that really love can— not throw off, went to her residence on Sunday night, and passing up the alley he thought he heard some one within in suppressed conver— sation; he jumped the fence and entered the house, where he found his wife in company with a man named Samuel Abbott. He rush. ed upon the guilty pair, and thrust a large knile, which he had in bis hand, into the lefi shoulder of his wite, immediately repeating the blow and striking her in the right shoulder just below the shoulder. blade, the knife entering the third and fourth ribs, and separating the lungs. The un. fortunate woman ran through the back entrance and thence into the street, where she fell and expired. Williams made several thrusts at Abbott, and inflicted two or three very severe wounds upon his person. He immediately af. ter lefi the house and gave himself up to the watchman, who was not aware of the difficulty, until informed by himself. He was taken to the South District watch house, and Captain Hoff. ner immediately repaired to the residence of the unfortunate woman, and had the matter inves— tigated. When the Captain returned to the watch house, he informed Williams that bis wife was dead, he immediately burst into tears and said he was sorry for what he had done, bet any man would have done the same thing had he been in his place. From all the facts in the case it appears that Abbott had been seen in company with W.'s wile several times previous to this unhappy occurrence, Williams was immediately commitied to jail to await his While the Williams, whose honor suff-red such grievous wrongs.— Balt.

NORTH CAROLINA RAIL ROAD COMPANY. The Board of Directors of this Company met in this City on Tuesday last, and had not ad. journed up to the moment of our going to Press. None of their proceedings have as yet trans- pired ; but it is generally uuderstood that a De. pot is to. be located in or very near to this City— though at what point is not known. Ia our next we shal! probably be able to give a full and definite account of the transactivns of the Board. The Stockholders of the Company convened in the Commons Hall in this City, on Thursday last—the Hon. Calvin Graves presiding, and Messrs. Charles. Phillips, of Qrange, and Al. fred Williams, of Raleigh, acting as Secretaries. There are a large number of Stockholders in altendance—evincing thereby a lively interest in the concerns of the Coinpany. The entire amount of Stock represenied, by person and proxy, is 1000 shares. From the Report of the President, we learn that operations on the Rvad are in a state of rapid progress, with the promise of as speedy a completion as could have been anticipated.— The expenditures for work thus far done amount to the sum of $291,561 04, The furce at present employed upon the different divisions of the work consisis-of 1425 men, 403 buys, 560 caris, 50 waggons, 785 horses and mules, and 44 oxen. The old Directory were almost unanimously re-elected, and the proceedings of the meeting, generally, thus far, have been most harmoni- ously and auspicivusly characrerized. Gov. Morehead was subsequently re-elected President of the Road by the Directory. These are all the particulars we are able to give up to the time of our publication. The Stockholders meet again this (Friday) morning, at 9 v’cluck.— Raleigh Register, 10th instant. OQ There are two votes which should po. litieally damn any man in N. Carolina, viz: 1.

He denounced Kossuth as a demagogue, for not openly sympathising with Abolitionism. Theodore Parker apologized for.

He intimated that Seward might herealier ap— pear as President and the champion of North. ern rights. He glorified in the defeat of Web. ter. Speeches were also made by Abby Kelly Foster and the Rev.

Newton showed that to each of these tints corres- ponds of a certain thickness of the sub. stance forming the bubble; in fact, he showed in general, that all transparent substances, when reduced to a certain de- gree of tenuity, would reflect these colors. Near the highest point of the bubble, just before it bursts, is always observed a spot which reflects no color, and appears black. Newton showed that the thickness of the bubbles at this black point was the 25,- 000,000th part of aninch! Now, as the bubble at this point possesses the proper- ties of water as essentially as does the Atlantic Ocean, it follows that the ullti- mate molecules forming water must have less dimensions than this. — Lardagr’s Handbook. Forgiveness.—The Knickerbocker gives the following as an exemplification of what we fear is the prevalent idea of the duty of forgiveness : just now, an’ illustration of one kind of ‘Christian Forgiveness.’ Improving up- on the day’s lesson, the teacher asked a | boy whether, in view of what he had been studying and repeating, he could for- give those who had wronged him. * Could yoo,’ said the teacher, * forgive a boy, for example, who had insulted or struck you? ' Ye-e-s; sir. replied the lad very slowly, ‘]—guess+I could ;’ but he added, in a much more rapid manner ; ‘I could, if he was bigger than | am! Isn't there some- thing of grown experience ia that? Outrages and Murder by a Mob.—An infu- riated crowd of Irishmen tore down the jail in the town of Falmouth, Kentucky, and murdered the jailor, on the 14th inst. “ The Kentuck- jane in the ‘neighborhood assembled, armed with guns, and rsed the mob by firing into it, killing and wounding seven of these engag- ed., It appears an Irishman had been inearce- rated for some offence ; hence the mob. Great excitement, it is said, prevailed among the Kentuckians, and the Irish inhabitants were compelled to evacuate the town.” A NEW SONG TO AN OLD TUNE. « Hard from a Sunday-school teacher, | UBUIRTPURSD. ae of pleasure ; a Vetitisa trast, aloan to be rendered backwith BORN In , on the 10th D- FORD BAILEY, Ems — about yg oe 5 was a citizen of , and one uf our most Davie miles north of Mocksville, and half a mile west of Olive h egen Trustees of Union Academy have the plea- sure to announce, that that Institution will be opened on Tuesday 20th July, under the charge of James H.

Description.—PETER is large shouldered, and a little knock-need, has several teeth oat in front, is quick spoken ; and has a lump on his left shoulder.— His age is between 30 and 35 yeers—his height about 5 feet 11 inches. TOM is low and chunky, with a scar in his fore- head from a cut. He is about 26 years of age, of a dark copper color. | Both of these boys are quite inte:ligent and well cal- culated to deceive. They will no doubt aim at getting to a free State, as they tried to get a white man to take them off. But I have reason to believe they are now lurking about in the vicinity of Salisbury. They are passing themselves off as free boys. Any information concerning them will be thankfully received, and the reward paid upon delivery a8 above said. JAS. J. MAXWELL. Charlotte, N.

At a meeting at Castle Garden, New York, Febryary 25, 1850, to consult upon measures forthe preservation of the Union, the following resolutions were unanimous. | ly adopted : Resolved, That the people of New York without distinction of sect or party, are ardently devoted to the union of these States, as, next to our liberties, the most precious of their political institutions ; and having never yet begun to calculate the value of this Uinta, can contemplate no contingency in which its dissolution would be otherwise than a gigantic crime.a- gainst the peace, prosperity, and freedom of our country and of mankind. Resolved, That in the resolutions lately submitted to the Senate of the U. States by Mr. Clay, looking to a complete and final settlement of all questions relating to slavery, on which the feelings of the Northern and Southern sections of our country have been excited against each other, we joyfully recognize the basis of an harmonious and brotherly adjusiment a most distracting and perilous controver- sy ; and entreat our fellow-citizens of all parties and sections to study those resolu- tions carefully, and in a spirit of devotion to the Union and perpetuity of this noble Confederacy. Resolved, That, im view of the above considerations, we accept, as the basis of a compromise, the preamble and resolu- tions as introduced by Mr. Clay into the United States on the 19th January, 1852. General Scorr being present at this meeting, was called on, and rising amid long continued cheers, addressed the meet- ing as follows: Fellow Citizens: Your kind greeting fills me with the deepest emotions. 1 came here not expecting to take more than a stand in some corner of the great hall to witness the proceedings. Some kind friend discovered me_ below, or | should not have stood in this conspicuous place. I did not expect to address one word to this meeting. I see before me much of the intelligence, respectability, and sterling worth of this great city, as- sembled here for the purpose of support- ing our great Union, of which I am ham. ble friend and servant. Ido not call my- self a citizen of the North, of the South, I neither court , lof the East, or of the West; but I wave! SERVED THE Union for forty-odd years, and | feel myself a citizen of EVERY PART OF IT; and whatever life and strength! may have SHALL BE DEVOTED TO ITS PESERPVATION.— Feeling that it was in jeopardy, and that this meeting had assembled ro Promote HARMONY AND PRESERVE THE Union, | came, here, and return you many thanks for the kindness with which you have welcomed | me.

I am charmed with the good feeling | and universal patriotism which this meet- ing has exbibited; and God grant that Union to which we all, in heart and soul, are so much attached ! The meeting then adjourned with three cheers for the Union and Compromise. Nat. Intelligencer. THE PRESIDENTIAL NOMINATIONS at THE SOUTH. With the exception of one newspaper in Tennessee (at Knoxville) we have not | received a single Whig paper from any Southern State, except Georgia, that refus- es to support the nominations for Presi- | dent and Vice President lately made by | the Whig National Convention. On the contrary, they promptly and manfully place the names of the candidates at the | head of their colamns, and promise to give | them a cordial and hearty support. following article from the Eufaula (Ala.) Shield is in the right spirit :—Nat. Int. Our Fuac.—We unfurl to the breeze this week our banner, with the names of Scorr and Grauam inscribed thereon as candidates for the Presidency and Vice the South, with more experience and ca- The | , but ‘tones of manly independence, their righis as Presidency of the United States. In doing:so it is useless to say ‘that Gen. was not our preference for that dis- tingaished and honorable position. Eve- ry one who knows our sentiment isaware that we have from the first advocated strenuously the claims of our worthy and patriotic Chief Magistrate, Mittarp Fitt- more. The Convention which bes just closed its labors, In its wisdom and discre- tion has deemed it impolitic to nominate him, and we have determined to abide in good faith the nomination of Gen. Scorr. We will support him— , Ist. Because we believe him to be more of @ statesman than Gen. Pierce ; equal- ly seund on questions of vital interest to pacity for the station. 2d. Because he bas planted himself up. on a platform manufactured by the hands of Southern men—a platform guaranty- ing every thing claimed by the South— and a platform of such sound timbers and constructed in such an elegant style of workmanship as to be ample and capa- cious enough for the North, South, East, and West, as common brotherhood. 3d. var support him because he is a man of Gnquestionable ability, anblem- ished character, unflinching patriotism, of high and noble impulses, and a man who, when convinced that he is right, goes ahead. Lastly. We will support him because we are convinced that the reorganization of old parties atahe South is inevitable. He is a Whig, has always been one, and expects always to be one; therefore we would prefer defeat with our friends than triumph with our enemies. These are some of the reasons why we will support the statesman, hero, and pa- triot; fally confident that, if the Whigs will unite, as the should, in the sustainance of such a man and such principles, one of the most brilliant victories will be ours that wasever recorded in the history of our country. Recollect the language of him who said, “ United we stand—divided we fall.” The “* North Alabamian,” published at Tuscumbia, thus announces the reception of the nominations and its purpose to maintain them : Tue Wuie Nominees.—In another col- umn we give the platform of principles adopted by the Whig Nationa] Conven- tion, together with the response by a por- tion of the Whig press to the nominatiens. So far all looks well. Nocompaign with- in our recollection has opened as flatter- ingly. It is true that a few Southern Whig papers refuse to support Gen. Scorr. and occasionally we find individuals oc- cupying the same position. Yet those who remember the reception of the nomina- tion of Gen. Harrison over Henry Cray, in 1840, and the marked dissatisfaction of a large portion of the Southern Whigs, will feel small uneasiness for the final de- termination of the present discontents.— They will be compelled to support either | Scott, Pierce, or nobody; and we know too well the material of which Southern | Whigs are composed to believe for a mo- | ment that they can be driven into the sup- | port of Locofocoism, or to give “ aid and comfort to the enemy,” by standing aloof | merely because they did not get their fa- vorite candidate. Such a course would | be a virtual acknowledgtment that they | held in higher regard than principles.— We say again to our Whig friends, all | looks well so far; and we should not be | at all surprised if Scott receives a vote equal to that of Harrison in 1840. THE CONTEST. The Election is but three weeks off! Atno former period, in the whole history of North | Carolina, was there ever & more important elec. | tion in the State, in the bearings it will have | upen both National and Local politics, than the | one so shortly to take place ; and it behooves | not only every Whig—every man who is inre. | ality a Whig—but every lover ot his State and_ Country, every friend of the rights of the Pxo- | PLE, to be up and duing ! Never were the lead. | ers of the party making such active and un. scrupulous exertions lo perpetuate themselves | in place, as are being made by the locofoco | leaders in this State, {rom the lowest extremity | to the summits of the Blue Ridge. The short. | lived triumph which they obtained two years | ago has inspired them with confidence io the | present contest, and our friends may rest as- sured that the conflict will be a fierce one.— And if the train-bands of lucofocoism shall be forced to.eurrender, on the 5ib of August, as we trust in Heaven they may, and confidently be. lieve they will, it will not be for the want of any advantage which cunaing, vigilance, deception, falsehood and money can give them! In view, then, of these facts, what shall we say. to our Whig brethren, proper, of North Carolina? Will they ogee more buckle on their armor, and go forth to the rescue? Can they be upon in the present crisis? Will they uot stand by their glorious candidates, State and National ? Will they not send to our friends in every part vf the Union the assur- ance that North Carolina, whoever else may falter, stands by them to the last? And what shall we say to the FREEMEN. generally, of the 4 State—thbe friends of ar rights and of the People’s sovereignty 7 them march to the polls like the freemen they are, and assert, not in the cautious whispers of slaves, but in the such—rights tor which the Whigs of 76 spilt their blood and spent their treasure—but of which the Jocofoco leaders ol the present day and of our own State, would seek to divest and deprive them! A bold, vnfaliering, unbroken front—and Victory, lull and comple, is yours /, —Raleigh ; prospects of “His Excellency,” we learn, by private letter from Richmond, that Stephen A. Douglas, of l\linois, is-now. in that City, and supposed to be en route for North Carolida, where he comes for the purpose of enlightening the freemen of our State as to their daties ia the coming elections. So that, if not advised to stay away, as the Ex minister, we rather, be- lieve, was, we may expect, very shortly to have this itiwerant locofoco United States Senator in our midst—leaving his daties at Washington to attend to them- selves. It will be recollected that this dirty de- magogue, Douglas, was present, together with Gen. Houston, at the Convention in this City, which first nominated Rew in 1848, and that he is said to have brought on the Free Suffrage hobby with him, and himself placed it upon the turf. It had previously to.that time, been the boast of both political parties in North Carolina, that they interfered not with the elections of her sister States, nor allowed interfer- ence in hers by them. Jt was then, for the first time, deemed necessary that our “ benighted and ignorant People,” as they were termed by a member of that Conven- tion, should be enlightened in relation to their duty to the Constitution and the coun- try. Then was the stigma first cast !— Now again, however, it seems to be found necessary to import one of the same politi- cal missionaries to enlighten the “ ignor- antand benighted People” of the State further, and to prop up the rider of that same Free Suffrage bantling, which he in- troduced into our midst as an element of party capital ! We have widely mistaken the character of the people of North Carolina, if they will not set their faces as flints against such impudent attempts to dictate to them what are their duties and what their rights. The main question involved in this campaign, and virtually to be decided by it, isof a local bearing and of vital im- portance to our domestic concerns—being nothing more nor less, than the question, whether it shall be submitted to the peo- ple to say, if they desire a Convention to amend thetr own Constitution, or not. And here comes up a locofoco aspirant for the Presidency, from the non-slave holding State of Illinois, to give unsolicited advice in the premises, to advocate and urge the claims of Reid and his hobby, and there- by attempt to bias our People against the only plan by which the conflicting issues of Constitutional Reform can be definitely and satisfactorily adjusted—the only plan, too, which guaranties the full sovereignty of THE PEOPLE. We know of nothing to equal this in arrogance and offensive- ness, unless it be the insolent and auda- cious efforts of Kossuru to embroil us in difficulties with other Powers and to undo in the minds of our people the effect of the teachings of Wasnincton and the other Patriots and Sages of the Revolution !— Will the freemen of North Carolina sub- mit to the insolence of either? We need not ask the question. As we remarked, with reference to the Ex. Minister’s contemplated but never fulfilled expedition, 'et Douglas “ come on,” by all means. The People will give /him the reception due to his effrontery ; and many a little David will spring upto meet the “ Young Giant,” in his progress through our borders in order to illuminate the darkness under which we are pre- ‘sumed to grope !—Raleigh Register. PEEVISHNESS. Who ever heard of fretting or per- verseness making any one either wealthy, great or honored? We are not informed. Who among tnen is looked to for counsel and comfort? That vinegar-faced popin- jay, with the nail-biting snarl ? Bless you, no sir; he is not looked up to except by the ragged street urchins ; they look up to him | and make mouths at him. The man who always wears a waspish frown on his brow and looks as if his life bad been spent in a dark den among snarling cubs, or in some wilderness where the glad sun never shone, is not the man to inspire confidence or respect ; such men are look- ed upon with distrust and suspicion. Give us the man who looks upon the petty vex- ations of life calmly ; who is not rendered morose and querulous when the gales of adversity beat upon him; who does not murmur and repine when Providence may lay a hedge of thorns in his pathway ; who smiles and looks cheerful—exuber- ant with joy and gratitade to Him that ruleth well in sunshine and in storm.— Such men command love and respect wherever they go—merit and, what is more, receive the approving smiles of Heaven. Worth Knowing.—Parch balf a pint of rice until it is brown; then boil it as rice ig usually done. Eat slowly, and it will stop the \ ott alarming case of Diarrbes.

What, a child of Charlie Piper’s bigness harbor a theif? One would think be could have nothing to do with thieves. Yes, one would suppose so, and yet there was one thief so sly that he used to insinuate himself into Charlie's good graces, and Charlie used to go withhim; and although he well knew that it grieved his mother, and certainly burt his character, yet it was some time before he had firmness enough to take a manly stand against him. As he pushes off to school, his mother bids him “remember!” On he goes until he gets almost over the bridge, when he stops a minute to watch the little min- nows darting around in the water below. He almost wished he was a minnow, that he had no grammar to learn, or copy to write ; he was sure minnows mast be very happy, with nothing to do the live-long day but play in water. Charlie well knew be had not a mo- ment to spare on the bridge; he knew that precisely five minutes after nine the mas- ter fastened the door for prayers, and no tardy boy could get in; he knew it was too bad thus to lose a whole half-day's school, but for all that he kept stopping and delaying. In fact his old companion, the thief, was by his side, ready to steal his precious moments; so the boy kept stopping and stopping, thinking about the minnows, and saying, “ Oh, it is too plea- sant to be cooped up in that old school- room,” until, all at once, his mother’s word, “remember,” rushed into his mind.— It seemed as if she spoke it again in his ear. He started up from his lounging at- titude, threw back his arms, as much as to say, “ Hands off. Mr. Thief !” and took to his heels in the direction of the school- room. Charlie run with all his might.— He arrived just the moment the master was about locking the door, and happily got in. “Good !” said Charlie, looking as glad as could be—*Good! | made my es- cape that time—I did! Good-by, Mr. Thief; you and I, I hope, have done hav- ing any more dealings together.” Charlie was as good as his word ; and from this time, instead of being a boy al- ways delaying, always behind-hand, he be- came the very soul of promptness. Here- after, “procrastination,” which the proverb calls the “thief of time,” kept at a dis- tance, and at last ceased to trouble him altogether. Now, do the children think what a bad thing this procrastination is? Procrasti- nation, you know, is the spirit of delaying, of being behind-hand in all your underta- kings, and engagements, and duties. It is aptly called a thief, for it robs us of one of our best treasures—time. Did you notice how it was trying to steal Char- lie’s time on the bridge? Avoid this thief. Say, “Hands off!” whenever he tempts youto dally in your duties; and to reso- lutely and promptly whatever you have to do, or as the Bible finely expresses it, “ Whatsoever you do, do it heartily to the Lord.” Such a course will certainly rid you of his troublesome and dangerous pre- sence for ever.

Dear Doctor,—My attention has recently been directed to several articles in the Observer under the caption, * Practice versus ‘heory.” And it iis my honest conviction that said articles | richly deserve to be prayerfully read and pon- dered, and that their subject matter should con- linue to be agitated and blazoned forth before the church by its lovers till at least a partial re- formation is effected. I write not because the theme is pleasant to me, but from a conscien tious conviction of duly. Hence, I shall speak candidly and plainly, yet not wishing to give offence. There are those who are “ unfortunately ad- dicted to the habit of using tobacco” in one or more of the various forms; andas our friendaims his remarks espeeially at our ministerial breth- ren and * male members” in bis estimate of the sum worse than wasted in ninety-nine cases in the hundred by the use of tobacco, and appears to be rather too modest to rank any of our sisters with the class of * tobacco users /” we, who are perhaps not accustomed to quite so much North. ern aimosphere and refiaement, but who proba- bly cherish a no less tender regard for our sis- ters, will venture to * rank” them with the class of tobacco users, and that too in its worst form ! though we should incur the imputation of rude- ness. If our sisters are modest enough to use it, we will be modest enough to tell them of it. “ Facts are stubborn things,” and as such we are compelled to treatthem. ur sisters have nobly pointed at our faults, and we wish to be no less generous towards them. ; For brevity, to say nothing of chewing, smok- ing and snufing by the fair ones. we pass on to rubbing, swabbing or eating, if any prefer.— Here we may probably surprise some of our readers, as we also have been surprised !— What! says a cool blooded admirer ; do la- dies eat snuff?

These young outcasts and vagabonds crowd every filihy lane and alley ofthe city; they ine fest the piers, till, though thousands of dollars are lost by their petty pilfering, neither police nor owners can do any thing against them.— They fill the lowest cellars with their Precoe cious debauchery and drunkenness; the jails stalion-houses, and prisons are packed with them, till the warden of the city prisom Wt sensibly says: “ As it is now, the moral wel- fare of the delinquents and the interesté of so, ciety would be better served by dismissing the charges against them, than by placing them here under tke instruction of able and . enced professors uf iniquity.” We have seen girls, scarce fourteen years of age, festering with disease in the wards of the nospital: of Blackwell’s Island; and each day ‘boys and girls are brought on criminal charges before our police cours, who in other grades of soci. ety would be still.in the nursery.

INFLUENCE OF A Smite.—It is related in the life of a celebrated mathematician, | William Hutton, that a respectable look. ing country-woman called upon him one day, anxioustospeak with him. She told’ him with an air of secrecy, that her hus- band behaved unkind to her and soughe other company frequently passing his eve-’_ nings from home which made her feel ex-. tremely unhappy, and knowing Me. Hate ton to be a wise man, she thought he might be able to tell her how she should manage to cure her husband—the case | was @ common one, and he thought he |could prescribe for it without losing his reputation as aconjurer. “The remedy. isa simple one,’ said he, “ but I have neve er known it to fail. Always meet your | husband witha smile.” The woman ex- pressed her thanks, dropped a curtesy and went away. A few months afterwards’ she waited on Mr. Hutton, with a couple of fine fowls, which she begged him to accept. She told him with a tear of joy and gratitude glistening in her eye, that, she had followed his advice and her bus-. band was cured. He no longer sought: the company of others, but treated her with constant love and kindness. How to Soften Hard Water.—A half ounce: of quick lime dipped in vine quarts of water, and the cléar solution put into a barrel of hard, water, the whole will be soft water as it:settles: clear.

We are therefore perfectly willing that the Demo- crats should make the most oat of any ac- tual military services they can shew Gen- eral Pierce has rendereg to his country.— But they must not only boast of these services, but must shew from the record that they have actually been rendered by their so called military hero. They sh«ll not be allowed to deck him in borrowed plumes. On the score of daring deeds, amid the roar of cannon, and showers of grape, and clash of the glittering bayonet, we come at them with “fuss and feathers” and we shew from the history of the last forty years, and appeal to every school boy who has read that history, for its be- ing a true biil, that the old “fuss and fea- thers” aforesaid, is a genuine military he- ro. It’s a settled question, a fixed fact. Now, gentlemen, come on with your vaunted military hero, and point to time and place, and to the record, where he bas ever bled or fout even for his country. Now we do not yet say positively, that Genereral Pierce never bas been in any battle, for we have not had time or op- portunity to examine the record with suf- ficient care to ascertain with certainty.— We do say however, that his deeds in the Mexican war, were not conspicuous or brilliant enough to leave on the minds of those who read the wonderful details of our army’s achievements in Mexico, any distinct recollection of what they were or where or when they were enacted. The names of men besides Scott and Taylor, and Worth, rise at once to the memory, and are associated with the bloody and brilliant scenes in those campaigns.— Who knows not that a May, a Ringgold, a Clay, a Hardy, a Wool, a Lane, and oth. ers less conspicuous, performed deeds that sentathrillof pride and exultationthrough the hearts of their countrymen? But General Pierce, General Pierce, what did he do, where did he perform any exploit that has made his name a_ household word among us in speaking of the Mexi. can war? You have to turn to the books, and go back to the records to find where he was, and what he did. This is so, but still we do not assert on our own know. ledge of his history, that he was not in a single battle during the Mexican war.— Our belief however is, that this is so. A controversy is going on between two writers in the Washington Republic, both of whom profess to have been with Gen. Scott at the time Gen. Pierce was inthe army. One of them insists that General Pierce did smell powder, the other that he was not in a single battle during the whole war. They both quote from official documents to prove their po- sitions, Not having these documents at band we cannot determine which is right. The very fact however, that the point is disputed, and that the official documents render it doubtful, is conclusive evidence | that General Pierce did not set the Gulf on fire, or astonish the Mexicans or “the rest of mankind” by his military exploits, Wesuppose, sucha controvesy could hard- ly be gotten up about Taylor's or Scott's military achievements, or indeed about the services of a hundred other officers in the Mexican campaign.— Newberniaa.

There must be agilation or they die. ‘They have ascertained that the slavery question involves a sore point, irritable and sensitive, and they take delight in striking continually upon the raw. ‘Vhey may possibly suppose that some enhanced degree of consequence may be obtained by this exercise of a power wantonly to produce mischief ; but | whether any degree of notoriety thus procured would be worthy the ambition of patriotic men we leave ii to themselves to consider, when calmer reflection shal] have induced intheirown minds some misgivings lest, instead of a bigh and independent course, they have been pursu. ing one uf puerile fastidiousness, fit simply for the comments of ridicule. It was no ma‘ter of surprise that the fanati- cal school of abolitioniets at the North should hold off frum the support of the regular nomi- nees forthe Presidency—both of whom occupy ground in reference to the slavery question ut. terly abhorrent to abolition ideas and proclivi. ties. But we were not altogether prepared to see Southern gentlemen of influence start forth in race of emulation with those rivals in the game of agitation. [1 is true there might be found in the antecedents of some of these South. era champions of extreme ductrine certain symp. toms of flightiness, certain quisotic tendencies, & proneness (o hallucinatién, that might indicate a large capacity for absurdities in general and an inherent congeniality with the impractica— bility and the preposterous. It must be admitted that this capacity for absurdities in general and an inherent congeniality does not lack the facul- ty of development, and progression is not con. fined exclusively to the democracy of manifest ii or to the ardent school of Young Amer. ca. It is searcely probable that this sectional re. volt will take from Gen, Scott a single electo. ral vote which under any circumstances he would have obtained. Virginia ‘and Georgia were not oe to vote him. Tennessee we may still count upon, notwithstanding the defection of Mr. Gentry. The thing to be chiefly ed is that the movement is cal- culated to throw a disturbing element into the canvass, which both parties and the country at or the of their own and the Earth’s orbits with F ortadag U7 ioxe teapiesdiahe shal dear’ Sad total. THE FIRST GRAND RALLY AT VICKS. BURG. The ratification meeting of Whigs which as. sembled at Vicksburg, Missi on the 26th ultimo, was the largest tha! had been held for many a day intbat city. Thomas A. Marshall, Esq.. was chosen President; and the meeting was further by appointing fourteen vice presidents and three secretaries. The Vicksburg Whig says: “ The notice given was not sufficient for the time of meeting to be generally known through. out the county, but notwithstanding we were pleased to see a representation from various quarters, and all joined in manifesting the high. est satisfaction with the result of the convention and the candidates presented.” Mr. Marshall! stated the objects of the meet. ing in a briefaddress, showing the cause which should move the entire Whig vote in favor of Scott and Graham. Afier the conclusion of Mr. Marshall’s short but eloquent address, Hon. William A. Lake was cajled to the stand, who introduced the fol. lowing resolution : “ Resolved, That this meeting do ratify and confirm the nomination of General Wiafield Scott as the Whig candidatg for President, and William A. Graham, of North Carolina, asthe Whig candidate for Vice President, and do pledge to them a cordial and hearty support.” The Whig further remarks that the speech of Mr. Lake in support of his resolution was a- ble, comprehensive, and courteous : “ He alluded in the most earnest and impas- sioned manner to the gloom which hung over the country at the period when administrative duties devolved upon Mr. Fillmore—to his ser. vices during the period of excitement—to his patriotism and fidelity to the South in time of peril, and of the general course of his adminis- tration. He also avowed his preference for Mr. Fillmore, before the meeting of the con- vention, as the Whig candidate for the Presi- dency; but, asthe great body of the Whigs selected another, Mr. Fillmore could retire up- on the fame he had acquired, and we could cheerfully support the nominee of the conven- tion who would execute and maintain the pria- ciples which Mr. Fillmore had sanctioned.— Ot Mr. Webster he spoke in terms of just and glowing eulogy ; he reviewed his public career and bis position, and said that the office of President was not necessary to link his name and fame with the future. The services, the character, the bistory, the principles, and the claims of Gen. Winfield Scott, next received his attention, and most brilliantly and nobly did he portray the qualities and capacity ofthe nomi- nee of the Whig party—briefly sketching his career from bis entrance into public life to the present time. We cannot give an outline even of Mr. Lake’s speech—it is sufficient to say that it was just such a speech as he always makes when he appears upon the Stand.” W. C. Smedes, esq., and Mr. J. S. Byrne, also addressed the meeting, at a late hour of the night, in glowing and eloquent terms. During tbe address of Mr. Smedes he said : * If we beat the Democrats at the ballot-box throughout the couniry in votes, as far as this Scoit ratification meeting surpasses the Pierce ratification meeting in this city in numbers, the prospects of the New Hampshire general will indeed be gloomy.” The Whig thus closes relative to the meet- ing : ** The court house bill was brilliantly lighted up; the speakers’ stand large enough to ac. commodate speaker's and officers, with the na- tional flag gracefully waiving from it—the seats admirably arranged, (not enough, however, as not more than one-third of the audience could be seated—but this could not be otherwise, as all the benches that could be procured were on the ground, and the audience larger than was anticipated,) both to hear and see—the beauti- ful and brilliant traneparency in front of the stand, upon which were inscribed the princi- pal events in the life of our candidate, and which constitute the record of the old patriot’s claim to distinction and the suffrages of a grate. ful people—the music, and last, but not least, the regular, clear and cheering tones from the deep. mouthed cannon, under the oharge of Ma. Jor Hawken, as they sounded and reverberated the proclamation of victory. * The opponents of General Scott may tra— duce and abuse, but we are better satisfied than ever that his hold upon the affections of the peo- ple not be retrnoved by such means, the people love him and confide in him, and this they will testify to ina few short months. The large num. ber of ladies in attendance upon the meeting goes far to show that hearts unbiassed of polit- ical rancor, or partisan malignity, are always ready to honor the patriot hero who has grown gray in the service of his country.” CATHOLIC SUPREMACY. An article in a late number of the Christian Register states that, within the last (twenty-five years, between two and three millione of Cath- olics have emigrated into the United States.— The increase of the Catholic Churches, during the last six years, has been very great, amount. ing to seventy-six per cent of the number in 1846. At the beginning of that year, the sta- listics exhibited 740 Catholic churches, 437 other stations, 735 clergymen, and a Catholic population estimated at 1,071,800 souls. At the commencement of the present year, the returns show the number of churches to be 1411 ; 681 other stations ; 1421 clergymen, and a Roman Catholic population estimated at 1,980,000 souls. This is certainly a large increase ; and the fact bas created, in some quarters, no little a- larm. It bas been prophesied that the Pope, at some future time will transfer bis See from Rome to Cincinnati; and fears are frequently expressed that the Roman Church will, by and by, assume the direction of American politics. MASSACHUSETTS FREE SOIL CON- VENTION. Stephen C. Phillips, of Salem. was cho- sen President of this body at Worcester on Tuesday. He said that both Demo- crats and Whigs now stand on the same platform, and both had forfeited the sup- port of the Free-Soil party. A committee was appointed to draw up resolves. Let- ters were read from Charles Somner, Horace Mann, S. P. Chase, J. R. Giddings, and Charles Allen, coinciding with the Free-Soil organization. _John P.

Unable to say any thing in truth against the fair name and fame of; Gep. Scott— unable to make the smallest capital out of the deeds of the hero of Lundy’s Lane— unable to accomplish any thing by facts or argament—the Loco Foco leaders and wire-pullers have, at last, like a drowning man catching at straws, resorted to cari- cature and ridicule! Yes, these are the weapons—the noble’weapons with which this most noble party now seeks to infla- ence the popular mind against*General Scott—against the man whose whole life has been spent in the sefvice of his coun- try—who bas led on our armies‘to crown- ing victory and glory upon every battle field, and who has .given world-wide re- nown to American valor and American arms. Better evidence of the growing weak- ness and their want of faith in General | Pierce’s strength—better evidence of Gen. Scott’s increasing favor with the people and of the strength of the Whig party— we presume no man wants. GENERAL SCOTT’S RELIGION AND TOLERANCE. To remove the erroneous impressions in the minds of some relative to the opinions of Gen. Scott on the subject of religion, we took occasion to remark in our last that he has always been, and is now a steady but moderate member of the Pro- testant Episcopal Church. We now quote the following from a letter addressed by him in 1841 to George Washington Reed, and others, of Philadelphia: “I am happy to see by the Philadelphia North American that religion is to be ex- cluded as a party element. Staunch Pro- testant as I am both by birth and convic- tion, I shall never consent to a party or State religion. Religion is too sacred to be mingled up with either. Jt should al- ways be kept entirely between each indi- vidual and God, except in the way of rea- son and gentle persuasion; as in fami- lies, churches, and other occasions of vol- untary aitendance (after years of discre- tion,) or recfprocal consent.” The following article, taken from the Norfolk Beacon, successfully defends the nomination of Geueral Scott against the charge of the Loco focos that it was a sectional nomination. We commend it to the perusal of our readers : , po The Washington Union, alluding to the late Whig Convention in an article having for its caption “* Tue Secrionat Nomination,” thus remarks : “in the three great States of New York, Ohio and Pennsylvania where lay the whole heart and bulk of the Scott strength in the Convention, the platform was voted down. Now mark what follows: “a very large major. ity eighty-five votes of these three great Scott States being recorded against its adoption.” The article then concludes thus: “ If, under these circumstances, Gen. Scott’s nomination, platform included, can be called in any sense national, we shall be glad to know the facts on which its nationality is based.” . We remark, it is not true that a very large majority of the eighty five votes of New York, Ohio and Pennsylvania, was recorded against the adoption of the admirable Whig Plattorm. New York voted twelve tur—twenty-two a— grist, one vote lost. Ohio voted eight for— fifieen against. And Peansylvania voied twen- ly one for—six against. So that, if the reader will take the trouble to sum up these votes, pro and con, on the platform, he will find that the very large majority of which the locofocu organ prates, amounis to the very large num. ber of just two majority against, and not one more. And this is lugged in as affording evi. dence of sectionajism or want of nationality. — Why, of the the thirty-one Staies of the Union, twenty two of them voted in the Whig Conven. Vion ior the Piatform, unanimously. One State was equally divided. ‘There was but one State that voted é against it. The re. maining seven split their electoral votes. These seven were entitled to one hundred and twenty. one voies—of which, one declined and one was lost, leaving upon record one hundred and nine. teen votes. Sixty-three of these voted for and Gfiy-six voted against the platform. ‘So that the page thus ; wenty-two States voted ynanimously for platform. Qaly one voted a griast it.

Scott’s nomination, plat- form included, can be called National and that the above unanimity of action io the Whig par- ty embraces some of the facts upon which we base the nationality both of the nomination and the platform. When the vote was taken on the Whig platform, there was no “noise and con. fusion * and no*colerie outside of which the reading of the platform could not be heard. It was discussed in open Convention and was vo- ted upon by each State. In the locofoco Con- vention, it has been said that hardly any one outside the colerie knew what was enacting.— We have now set this matter right and mean to keep it so hereafier. * “Observer,” the Washington corres- pondent of the Philadelphia Ledger, refer- ring to the speech of Mr. Toombs, deliv- ered in the House of Representatives on the 3d instant, says: “Some of the Whigs, after he sat down, cried, solto voce, ‘ good-by Toombs,’ taking leave of him on his entering the Demo- cratic ranks. This episode showed that Governor Howell Cobb new what he was about when be used every exertion in his power to have Mr. Toombs elected to the United States Senate, in the place of Scna- tor Berrien.” FIRE AT MONTREAL. On the Sth instant, a fire broke out in Montreal, which lasted twodays. Twelve hundred buildings were consumed. The light of the flames, during the progress of the conflagration, was distinctly visible at Barlington, Vermont, a distance of 100 wiles. It is thought that this is one of the most destructive fires that bas ever oc- curred on this continent. On the Ist instant, Capt. Swartwout, of the United States Army, in command of Fort Meade, Florida, died at that post. The Hon. Joun P. Kennevy, of Mary- land, it is said, has been tendered and has accepted the office of Secretary of the Navy, in place of Mr. Graham, resigned. Tue Crors.—In this region the crops are still improving. We have had during the present week rain for several days, and the farmers are looking forward to an abundant corn-crop. GOING NORTH. As it will soon be the season of the year for our Western merchants to go North. we would state to all interested that we have been informed by a gentleman, who lately passed over the Raleigh and Gas. ton Road, that it is now, for the most part, in an excellent condition. The rail has been laid down all the way from Gaston to Henderson, and a number of miles beyond, and that they travel at the rate of 20 to 30 miles per hour. A Starve 1x Honor or Henry Cray.—A correspondent of the National Intelligencer pro. poses that a statue should be erected in the city of Washington, where he spent a great portion of his life. The equestrian Statue in honor of Gen. Jackson, will cust about $12,000, and no doubt an equal amount can easily be raised in that city for one in honor of Mr. Clay. ARE YOU READY, FELLOW WHIGS? The Election for Governor and Members of the Legislature will take place on Thursday, the fifth of August. Our Whig friends see that they have but about Twenty days to work be. fore the election will be upon us. Is it neces. sary that we should again appeal to them to put forth their whole energies in the cause, during this short period ? They were defeated in 1850 by the lakewarmness and dissentions which ex. isted in the Whig ranks. We all know the Mortification which all-true Whigs felt when the news of defeat reached them, and we do not believe there was a Whig in any part’ of the State who did not resolve to exert himself, with redoubled vigor and zeal, rather than this should again occur. We have repeatedly appealed to sted friends to onGantze in each and every County iu the State. The process is easy and simple—requiring nothing but promptness and energy, and information as to the names and residences of the leading Whigs of each Coun. ly.

Treatment of Hydrophobia.—A son of a Mr. Waite, of Cincinnati, as we learn from the Ga. zelle, was recently seized with hydrophobia, but by judicious treatment he had entirely re- covered, though a running wound is intended | to be kept up where the lad was billen, in or- der to prevent the possibility of a return of the symptoms. ‘The vesicles which formed under the tongue rapidly disappeared under the ad- ministration of lachesis, a medicine prepared from the virus of the lanceheaded adder, which was given as an antidote to the poison, and the spasins were prevented by the use of bellalonna and other remedies. The New York Fair.—By letters from the Turkish Ambassador received in New York, it appears that arrangements are making for send. ing a Turkish steam frigate to that cily with the various productions and fabrics of Turkey, for the exhibition at the new Crystal Palace.

The bands are stretched with powerful ma- chines, made expressly for that purpose, and the diffi- culty of bands stretching and ripping under the com- mon way of making them, is entirely removed by this process. Bands made in this way will hold their-width evenly, run true, and have a uniform bearing on the drum or pulley, and will give from 15 to 20 per cent. more power than those made in the ordinary way.— They are made out of the best selected oak tanned Spanished Leather, and no pains will be spared to make them equal to the best Northern bands, and will be sold as low as they can be brought in New York.

The above reward will be paid for the apprehension and delivery in any Jail so that J get them again, of the two Boys, or $5U for either one. Description.—PETER islarge shouldered, and a little knock-need, has several teeth out in front, is quick spoken ; and has a lump on his left shoulder.— His age is between 30 and 35 yeers—his height about 5 feet 11 inches. TOM is low and chunky, with a scar in his fore- head from a cut. He is about 26 years of age, of a dark copper color. Both of these boys are quite inte:ligent and well cal- culated to deccive. They will no doubt aim at getting to a free State, as they tried to get a white man to take them off. But I have reason to believe they are now lurking about in the vicinity of Salisbury. They are passing themselves off as free boys. Any information concerning them will be thankfully received, and the reward paid upon delivery as above said. JAS. J. MAXWELL. Charlotte, N.

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- pliah aj| 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 hamanity in general. Some of our Lodyes have contributed promptly and nobly to this work, and we only ask your careful consideration of the subject, con- vineed as we are that nothiag more is needed to secure your cordial co-operation in a favorable and early re- sponse to this appeal.

At the expedition of Naples, it was found closed in a box of ebony, in the sacristy of Chartrem. The vase in the chapel of Caserta. The French translation was made by the mem- bers of the Commissaries of Arts. The original is in the Hebrew language.

At the sale of his collection of antiquities, &c., it was bought by Lord Howard for 2.880 francs. Its intrinsic value and inter- est are much greater. A few years ago there was found at Cattskill, in New York, a“ sketch of Is- rael,” of the time of our Saviour. On the one side was the representation of a palm leaf, on the other, a picture of the temple with the words underneath, “ Holy Jeru— | salem,” in the Hebrew tongue. Reiics like these properly authenticated, have about them an inexpressible sacredness and moment. They seem to blend two worlds, and to carry human curiosity from | | finite to infinite. H. E. C. A CHANCE FOR THEOLOGIANS. In 1774, a Scotch gentleman left a sum of money, the interest of which he direct- /ed should be given as a prize, at the ex- piration of every forty years, to the au- thor of the best work upon the evidences of the existence of a supreme being. The _ptize has already been once awarded, and | the second period of forty years will ex- pire on the first of January, 1854. By |that time the accumulated interest will | have amounted to the very desirable sum ‘of twelve thousand dollars, all of which | will become the property of the author of | the successful treatise. The competition |is open to all the world, and there is no | restriction as to the length or brevity of 'viate difficulties regarding the wisdorn | and goodness of the Deity; and this, in the first place, from considerations inde- | pendent of Written Revelation; and, in| 'the second place, from the Written Reve- lation of the Lord Jesus; and from the | | whole, to point out the references most /necessary for, and usetul to mankind.” The annexed directions should also be , observed :—"“Each treatise must be distin. | ‘guished by a peculiar motto; this motto | | must be written on the outside of a sealed | letter, containing the author’s name and his address, and sent along with his per- formance. The names of the successful ' candidates only shall be known by open- ing their letters. The other letters shall be destroyed unopened. The writers of the unsuccessful treatises may afterwards have them returned, by applying to Mes. ‘srs. Webster, Aberdeen, and by mention- ‘ing only the motto which they may-have assumed.” | The judges will be there in number, | and will be selected only for their known ‘capacity. They will not, however, be re- quired to award the premium, unless a) production of decided merit should be pre- sented, even though one of the competing | esays should be greately better than any | of the others. There are many clergy- | men, who will esteem it labor in vain to) ‘prove what no one doubts ; but probably tew who will consider the time ill-spent | which may result in the acquisition of | twelve thousand dollars—the manifold utilities of which no one has ever doubt- ed! | ECONOMY IN A FAMILY. | There is nothing which goes so far to- | | wards placing young people beyond the conomy in the man- ‘reach of poverty, as e | agement of inele domestic affairs. It mat. | ‘ters, not whether a man furnish little or | ‘much for the family, if there isa continu: | ‘al leakage in his kitchen or In the parlor. | ‘It runs away he knows not how, and that demon, Waste, cries “more !” like the | horse-leech’s daughter, until be that pro- vided bas no more to give. It is the hus- band’s duty to bring into the house, and it is the duty of the wife to see that none goes wrongfully out of it—not the least ‘article, however unimportant Ip itself, for it establighes a precedent—nor under any | pretence, for it opens the door for ruin to | stalk in, and seldom leave an opportunity unimproved. aye gets a wife to look after his af- ‘fairs, and to assist him in his journey —to édutate and prepare his in Jife, and | throughjlife | wife acts not for herself only, but she is | cond fastens a doctor's bill to a long.butch- ' young man of Nuremburg, who had no ' gave it some milk. which it lapped in the | a miry road that was not “up to the knee?” not todissipate bis property. The bus— band’s interest should be the wife’s care, and her greatest ambition carry her no further than his welfare and happiness, together with that of her children. This should be her sole aim, and the theatre of her exploits in the bosom of her family, where she may do as much towards mak- ing a fortane as he can in the counting— room or the workshop. It is not the mo- ney earned that makes a man wealthy ; itis what he saves from his earnings. A good and pradent husband makes a de— posit of the fruits of his labor with his best friend, and if that friend be not true to him, what has he to hope? —If he dare not ploce confidence in the companion of his bosom, where is he to place it? A the agent of may she loves, and she is bound to act for their good, and not for her own gratification. Her husband’s good is the end to which she should aim: his approbatfon isher reward. Self grat- ification in dress, or indulgence in appetite or more company than his purse can well entertain, are equally pernicious. The first adds Vanity andextravagance; these- er’s account ; and the latter brings intem- perance, the worst of evils in its train. The Wit of a German Lawyer.—There are Many stratagems in war,and as many it may well be said in love or law. We have heard oftentimes how the strata- gems of love have outwitted parental vig- ilance, but we never heard of a case where law so effectually 4idéd Hymen as rela- ted in a Bavarian journal. The transla- tion may not be so good as Dr. Kraister might give, but it runs to the effect thata tortune, requested a lawyer, a friend of Lis, to recommend him to a family where he was @ daily visitor, and where there wasa@ handsome daughter who was to have a large fortune. The lawyer agreed ; but the father of the young lady who lov- ed money, immediately asked what pro- perty the young man had. The lawyer said he did not exactly know, but he would inquire. The next time be saw bis young friend he asked him if he bad any property atall. * Noreplied be. “ Well,” said the lawyer, “would you suffer any one to cut off your nose if he would give you twenty thousand dollars for it?” * Not for all the world.” *’Tis well,” replied the lawyer. “I had a reason for | asking.” The next time he saw the girl’s of the jewel. a A Kitten Translated.—On the 5th inst., as a gentleman of this city was looking | out of a window, he saw a black kitten } fall past him, apparently from the top of | 'the house, and expected to see it dashed 'dead upon the side-walk ; but, contrary | to his expectations, when it reached the | ground it beganto walk. Some children | | supposing it to be injured, took it in and | _rences of life usual style. The next morning the lady of the house went into the cellar to give it some more milk. when, strange to re- | late, it darted past her a distance of twen.- | ty feet, without touching the ground, and went out of the house, ascending upwards in the air more rapidly than it bad fallen down the day before, and was soon lost to view among the clouds. Improbable as | these statements appear, they were made | to us by a medical gentleman, of whose | sanity and love of truth we do not enter- | tain adoubt. We recommend this singu- | lar phenomenon to the attention of the | editor of the Spiritual Telegraph. | Bos. Atlas, | Exaggeration.—If there is any manne- rism that is universal among mankind, it | is that of coloring too highly the things we describe. We cannot be content with a simple relation of the truth; we mast have “a little too much red in the brush.” Who ever heard of a dark night | that was not “pitch dark,” of stout man who was not “as strong as a horse,” or of We “would walk fifty miles on foot” to see the man who never caricatures a sub- ject on which he speaks. But where is such a man to be found? “From rosy morn to dewy eve,” in our conversation we are constantly outraging truth. If some- what wakeful in the night, “we scarcely had a wink of sleep ;” if our sleeves get a little damp im a shower, we are “as wet as if dragged through a brook;” if a breeze blows up while we are “in the chops of | the channel,” the waves are sure to “ran mountain high;” and if a man grows rich, we all say be “rolls in money.” No later than yesterday a friend, who would shrink from wilful misrepresentation, told us hastily. as he passed, that the “news- paper had nothing in it but advertise. ments.” Miss Nobbs says, the first time a coat sleeve encircled her waist she felt as if she was in a pavillion built of rainbows, the window-sills of which were composed of Zolean harps, SBURY, N. C., THURSDAY. JULY 29, 1859. Genuine Peotry.—There is so little gen- uine poetry now-a-days, that itis quite re- freshing to meet with so beautiful a gem as the following. None but those who have felt the “tender passion,” can fully appreciate the intensity of the poet's “phelings.” It of course must be surmised that Miss Elizabeth—endearingly called Betsey—was a charming girl, and well worth the poet’s adoration. Notice the pens and sublimity of the following ine : “ My love she is delight, nf pe tite Boe see is ve > ga and ciiier ett.” Bot alas ! for the mortifications and dis- appointments that poets are doomed to suffer. On the head board of the young man’s bed, the chamber maid found, writ- ten in chalk, the next morning: “‘T loved Miss Betsey, well I did, And I went there for to tel her; Bat like to goose-grease quick I slid, For she had another feller.” “ Negro Minstrelsey."—We confesstoa fondness for negro minstrelsey. There is something in the plaintive ‘ Dearest May,’ in the affectionate remembrance of Lucy Neal, and in the melodious mourning for “Uncle Ned,” that goes directly to the heart, and makes Italian thrills seem tame. It is like Ossian’s music of memo. ry, “ pleasant and mournful to the soul.” “Dearest May” has become classic—a sort of Venus Africanus, with ** Her eyes so bright they shine at night, When the moon am gone away.” And poor Lucy Neal, the Heloise of darkies, her very name has become the syponym of pathos, poetry, andlove. The whole world is redolent of the sweet and plaintive air in which her charms are chanted ; and the beauty of her shining form often comes over us like a pleasant shadow from an angel’s wing. “ Ob if I had her by my side, How happy I would feel.” And as for poor “ Uncle Ned,” so sadly denuded of his wool, God bless that fine old colored gentleman, who, we have been so often assured, has ‘* Gone where the good niggers go.” A Sam Patch Leap.—On Monday last an emulator of the fame and fate of Sam Patch jumped from the “High Bridge” (over Harlem river) into the water below (a distance of 105 feet.) greatly tothe en- tertainment of several hundred persons, who had been attracted thither to witness the feat by an advertisement. He first stripped himself, excepting a covering of cotton netting, and leaped into the air.— A sort of flapping motion of the hands was made, as if to steady himself and impede the rapidity of the descent ; then, just be- fore reaching the water, which is about twenty feet deep, he straightened himself outand entered it perpendicularly. Quick- ly rising to the surface, he swam to a boat close by, apparently uninjured. He per- formed the same feat on the previous Tues- day. Quoting Scriplure.—A worthy deacon in the good town of F. was remarkable for the facility with which he quoted Scripture on all occasions. The Divine Word was ever at his tongue’s end, and all the trivial, as well as important occur. furnished occasions for quoting the language of the Bible. . What is better, however, the exemplary man made his quota— tions the standard of action. One bot day he was engaged in mowing, with his hired man who was leading off, the deacon following in his swath, conning bis apt quotations, when the man suddenly sprang from his place, leav— ing the swath jus} in time to escape a wasp’s | nest. “ What is the matter?” hurriedly inquired | the deacon. * Wasps!” was the laconic reply. * Pooh !”’ said the deacon, “ the wicked flee when no man pursueth, but the righteous are as bold as a lion;” and taking the workman’s | swath, be moved buta step when a swarm of | brisk insects settled about his ears, and he was | forced to refreat, with many a sting, and in great discomfiture. * Aha!” shouted the other with achuckle, “the prudent man foreseeth the evil and bideth bimself but the simple pass on and are punish. | ed.” The good deacon had found hie equal in ma- king application to the sacred writing and there. after, was not known to quote Scripture ina mowing field. Horrible Outrage — Abduction ! — On | last Saturday night, in Catawba county, Wilson England inflicted several stabs in in the abdomen, breast, and other parts of the body of his father-in-law, Nathan- iel Wilson, Esq., who has served in the Legislature, and who, at the time of this unfortunate affair, was a candidate for the Commons. Having, as he supposed, mardered his father-in-law, England, taking Wilson's best horse, abdueted the sister of his wife, a younger daughter of Wilson's, and with her escaped, thus bringing ruin apon ma- | ny, among whom the unfortanate youth- | fal victim of bis lawless passion will alti- mately become the most miserable. Mr. Wilson’s wounds are found to be very severe, rendering his recovery a mat- ter of great uncertainty. England is par- sued, and, it is hoped, will be overtaken, brought back, and duly punished. (U7 Since the above was in type, intel- ligence is received that Mr. Wilson is ==> THE IRISHMAN AND THE DEACON. A few months ago, as Deacon Ingalls, of Swampscott, R. [., was travelling through the Western part of the State of New York, he fell in with an Irishman who had lately arrived in this country, and who was in quest of a bro. ther that came on before bim and settled in some of the diggings ia that vicinity. — Pat was a sirong, athletic man; a true Cath- |” olic, and had never seen the interior of a Prot: estant church. It was a pleasant Sabbath morning that brother Ingalls met Pat, who en. quired for the road nearest to the church. Ingalls was a good piuus man. He told Pat he was going to church himself, and invited his new made acquaintance to accompany him thither, his place of destination being a small Methodist meeting-house near by. There was a great revival there at that time, and one of the deacons (who, by the way, wasof very small stature,) invited brother I. 10 take a seat in his pew. He accepted the invitation and walked in, followed by Pat, who looked in vain to find the altar, &c. After he was seated he turned to brother I. and in a whisper which could be heard all around, inquired— “ Sure, and isn’t this a heretic church 2” “ Hush !” said Ingalls, “if you speak a loud word they will put you out.” * Divil a word will I speak at all, at all,” replied Pat. The meeting was opened with a prayer by the pastor. Pat was eyeing him very closely, when suddenly an old gentleman who was standing in the pew directly in front of Pat shouted “ glory.” “ Hi-s-s.t, ye clear divil,” rejoined Pa, with his loud whisper, which was heard by the min. ister, “ be dacent and don’t make a blackguard of yourself.” The parson grew more and more fervent in the devotions. Presently the deacon uttered an inaudible groan. “Hi s8-s-t, ye blackguard, have ye no dacency at all, at all ?” said Pat, al the same moment giving the deacon a punch in the ribs, which caused him nearly to lose his equilibrium. The minister stopped, and ex- tending his band in a supplicating manner, said, * Brethren, we cannot be disturbed in this way; will some one be kind enough to put that man out?” “Yes, your riverence,” shouted Pat, “I will.” And suiting the action to the word, he col- lared the deacon, and to the utter borror and astonishment of the pastor, brother Ingalls, and the whole congregation, he dragged him thro’ the aisle, and with a tremendous kick a poste- riori, as the logicians say, he Janded him in the vestibule of the church. A RATTLESNAKE. The New York Commercial Advertiser of the 12th instant, tells the following thrilling tale: Last fall a woman residing in the vicinity of Worcester, was picking blackberries in a field near her house, having with her, her only child, a bright-eyed little fellow of less than a year old. ‘The babe sat upon the ground amusing itself with grasping at clumps of yellow weed that grew within reach, and eating berries brought him from time to time by his mother. The latter, at length, intent upon gathering the fine fruit, passed around a reck which hid her child froin view. She was about to return to him, when hearing him laughing and crow- ing in great glee, and thinking he must be safe as long as he was so happy, she remaining a little longer where sae was. Suddenly, the little voice ceased, and after another minute’s delay, the young mother step- ped upon the rock and looked over expecting to see her babe asleep: and instead of which, he was sitting perfectly motionless, his lips parted, a wide, open eyes fired with a singular expression upon some object which, at first she was unable to discern. Yet who can judge of her horror when on | closer scrutiny she perceived, some four or five feet from her infant, a rattlesnake, with his glit- tering eyes fastened upon his and nearing him by an almost imperceptible motion. The sight of her darling’s peril so nearly paralyzed her, that for an instant she half be- lieved the dreadful fascination had extended to herself; but the certainty, that unless she was the instrument of salvation to her chila, he was inevitably lost, in some degree restored her powers. She glanced wildy round for some- thing that might be used as a weapon but no- thing appeared, and already the venomous rep- tile had parsed over half the space which divi- ded him from bis victim. Another moment, and all would be lost! What could be done? In her hand she beld abroad tin pan, and springing from the rock, quick as thought she covered the snake with it, and stood upon itto prevent its escape. The charm was broken—the child moved, swayed to one side, and beganto sob. At the same time the mother recovered her voice and screamed for aid, retaining her position until it arrived, when the cause of her terrible fright was despatched. “ Has the cookery book any pictures ?” said Miss , to a bookseller. «* No madam, none,” was the answer. “ Why,” exclaimed the witty and beaa- tifol lady, “what is the ase of telling us how to make a good dinner, if they give us no plates 1” Bad Book, or Bad Priest.—A Roman ‘Catholic priest in Belgium rebuked a young woman and her brother for that “bad book,” pointing to the Bible. “ Mr. Priest,” she replied, “a little while ago my brother was an idler, a gambler, a drank- ard, and made such a noise in the house that no one could stay in it. Since he be- gan to read the Bible, he works with in- dustry, goes no longer to the gavern, no longer touches cards, brings home money to his poor old mother, and our life and home is quiet a it, Mr. Priest, that a bad book produc duces dead.—Lincoln Republican. children for a proper station good fruits?” nd delightful.

OVERPRAYED HI§SELF. Daring the prevalence of thé epiderp- ic in Virginia, in 1849, the negroes on the different plantations became d alarmed and thought they would certainly die with it. Among others, in one of the upper counties, was a negro boy,” having heard his father say that the chol¥ era wou'd soon be along their way, Jeft his work, one day, and betook him the woods. Here he was found b ‘ihe overseer, soon after, fast asleep. - Being taken to task by him for leaving his he excused himself on the ground that; noe being “ prepared in mind to die,” he bad, gone to the woods to “meditate.” “ Bat”, said the overseer, “how was it that you wentasleep? “Well I don’t know zactly, responded the negro, “but | must have o- verprayed myself.” ’ Hard of belief.—Joe R., who is an increds, ulous dog, was listening to a wonderful, story told by old B., in which his ry) ps Mary bore a conspicuous part. “If yop; don't believe it you may go to the house and take it from her own lips” Joe took him at his word: the old man followed on to see the result, and found Joe kissing Mary very sweetly. “ What on earth are you about ?” “Oh, taking that awful tough mony from her cwa lips—bat | am satisfied new. Wuar 1s a For.—The fop is a complete specimen of an outside philosopher. He is one third collar, one sixth patent leather, one fourth stick, and the rest gloves and hair. As to his remote ancestry there is some doubt, but it is now pretty well set- tled that he is the son of a tailor’s goose. Nevertheless, such are useful. If there. were no tadpoles there would be no frogs. They are not so entifely to blame for be- ing devoted to externals. Paste diamonds must have a splendid setting to make them sell. Only it does seem a waste of, material, to put five dollars worth of bea- ver on five cents worth of brains. 4 A Kentucky paper says it is getting to be very fashionable in that quarter toen- close a dollar with marriage notices, when sending them tothe printer. A good cus- tom, that ought to prevail everywhere. Six dollars to printer and priest, No sensible man could refuse, Five dollars to render him blest, And one tv publish the news ! A testy old gentleman was incessantly pestered by his neighbours with inquiries after his health ; at Jast losing all patience with the most assiduous of these inquiries; “Tell your master,” said he to the servant, “with my compliments, that I am pretty well this morning, and shall continue so for 21 mornings to come.” Out west there has been on a certain hill side a large hole, which is not com- mon thing in that section of the country. The bank is said to have recently caved off, and left the hole sticking out about ten feet. Backing Out of a Position.—A somewhat eccentric lawyer being engaged ia defending a hard case, and not being altogether pleased with the ruling and presiding Judge, remarked that the whole Court could be bought with a peck of beans. The Judge, of course, took this remark ia high dudgeon, and ordered the lawyer to.sit down, and demanded of him an apology for contempt of Court, threatening him with com- mitment for the offence, if he did not apologize. The lawyer, after a little reflection, re- marked that he had said he believed the Cou could be bought with a peck of beans; that he had said it without ‘reflecting, and wished to take it back ; “ if bhad put it at a balf a bushels I never would bave taken it back in the world!” Sad Accident.—Calvin Whicker, a som of Mr. Berry Whicker, of this county, aged 18 years, came to his death on Sueday last, by injuries received in leaping from a conve whilst the horse which be bad been Grit was running away.

It was indeed a mystery to us, that the Van Barens, Rantouls, Clevelands, Sum- ners, and other violent and vindictive Freesoilers, should have so readily wheel: ed into line and taken their position in the ranks of Gen. Pigace, as he was claim- ed to be the nominee of Southern “ chiv- alry,” when they scorned the idea of marching under the banner of Gen. Cass. Bat the whole difficulty has been solved. It turns out that Prisrcg, as late as Janua- ry last, denounced, in most violent terms, the principle of the Fugitive Slave haw and the institution of Slavery. We invite at- tention to the developments we publish Below. They lay bare the hypocrisy of the claims which have been set up for this second Van Buren—that he is true to the Soath on the%ubject of Slavery, and en- dorses not only with his “ head” but his “ heart,” the Compromise measures! We are glad the truth has seen the light be- fore the South became committed to a man who is claimed as the special favor- ite of both Secessio.ists and Free soilers. No doubt ather developments will be made which will tear off the sheep's clothing from this “fainting General,” and exhibit his character in its true light. In the teeth of the fifth Resolution of their plat- form which pledged their party “to resist all attempts at renewing the agitation of the slavery question,” the locofoco leaders and presses have assailed Gen. Scott and the Whig Party in the most embittered terms, The whole secret is naw laid open, to the public mind !—The cry of “thief” was raised, and kept up, that the real thief might escape! But thanks to truth and common justice, he has been dis- covered and will be effectually exposed. There is no mistaking such language as this: “TI have been asked if I like this Fu- ive Slave Law. 1 answer NO! | ATHE 1!T!1 nave a Most RAVOLTING FEELING AT THE GIVING UP OF ASLAVE. THE LAW IS OPPOSED TO HUHANITY !” Here is the secret of Pierce's populari- ty with the Freesoilers! This is the key which has unlocked the door of their hearts, and bound Van Buren and his clan “with hooks of steel” to him ! ’ Bat this is not the only “bright spot” for the Freesoilers in the career of Frank- lin Pierce. In this same speech (deliv- ered in January last) he declared : “Slavery is the greatest trouble of the country and was so regared by Washing- ton. As for himself, he never saw a hu- man being in bondage without feeling his heart revolt at it ! Siavaae IS CONTRARY TO tas ConstiTuTION IN SOME RESPECTS—A MORAL BLOT UPON THE CHARACTER OF THE NATION.— IT CANT BE HELPED.” “ Slavery is contrary to the Constitu- tion in some respects!” “It is a mortal tal the character of the nation !"— are the sentiments of the locofoco candidate for the Presidency, uttered bat a few months before his nomination; yet he is proclaimed most lustily and with an air of pious confidence and swaggering defiance, as worthy the support of the South. Do they suppose the Southern blind, map, inratuaten? Is it sup- posed that they want another “ Northern man with Southern principles,” such as Van Buren proved himself to be? It is a eons he will be under ) uence of Van Buren’s peculiar prin- ciples, though he may not take the Jelly magician” into his confidence ! ‘But these are not all the dark secrets whieh the speech of Gen. Pierce, at New Boston, brought to light. “ He referred to the Constitution of the and in a pious train of thought NIZED THE HIGHER LAW. AND THAT POWER ABOVE ALL ConstiTUTIONs.” He is then a disciple of the “higher law” doctrine of Seward? And so “un. equivocal” were bis opinions on this sub- ject, that even an “ultra abolitionise” as- sented to them as “sufficiently fanatical.” And this is the man the people of the South are called on to support! Witb denunciations of the Fagitive law and of Slavery on his lips, and that infidel and impious doctrine of.the “Higher Law” (which has so long cursed the counteg) ripe in his heart, he is presented as worthy the confidence of men whoare yet suffer. ing under the Sonseqosnere of the base treachery of Martin Van Buren !

He explained the cir- cumstance of his fainting ; and declared that, “ with the exception of a single occasion, be had led bie command in the biaze of every bat. tle.” Aker this he commenced speaking upon the Fugitive Slave law. He said that it differed in no important particular from the law of 1793. A clergyman who was present said, that asthe invitation had been given, he would like to make an inquiry: “ Do you regard the features of the Fugitive Slave law as consisient with com- mon law 1” General Pierce immediately replied: “ If I must answer the stion, | say no, I do not. I have been asked if I liked the Fugitive Slave Law. I answered no, I loathed it. I have a most revolting feeling at the giving up a slave ; the law is opposed to humanity.” Here Mr. Foss inquired, “If it was not op. posed to right as well as humanity?” General Pierce replied: ** Yes, it is opposed to moral right.” 5 The above is the substance of General Pivrce’s remarks upon the Fugitive Slave Law. The quotation marks include the very language used by the General, as taken down at the time it was uttered. From the Manchester [N. H.] Democrat of January 8, 1853. GEN. PIERCE IN NEW BOSTON. New Boston, January 3, 1852. Mr. Enrror: Some weeks ago General Pierce sent word to certain of the friends of Mr. Atwood in New Boston that he was about to address the people of this town, in arder that he might set himself right in the case of Letitia Blaisdell, This, however, was considered to be a mere pretext, while the real object of bis mission would be to procure the passage of some resolutions, or in some way get up a man. ifesto against Mr, Atwood, which might go forth all over the State at the actual voice of New Boston, General Pierce commenced his remarks by announcing that there was no other place where he cauld have been induced to make a politica! | speech at the present time. He went through | the stereotyped introductory of all his speeches in this region, alluding in very feeling terms to the important fact that he was born in Hills— boro’ county—spoke of being among the friends of his father—said that D. Bennet, ofthis town, built the first stack of chimnies in his father’s house that was ever built in the town of Hills. boro’—called by name several individuals pre- sent as his especial acquaintances—and inquir. ed if there was acy revolutionary soldier pre- sent, Some one in the audience announced that Mr. Abner Hogg, a revolutionary soldier, (and in 184§ and "46 a member of the Legislature from New Boston,) was still living, but was not present ; anda second voice announced that he was athroughout Atwood man, Gen. P.—* And none the worse for that,” Voice.—* So I think.” The General then proceeded to speak of his | father and mother as riding horseback over rough roads, and of the great improvements that have been made within a few years. He referred to the Constitution of the country, and in a pious train of thought recognised the high. er law, and “that power above al! constitu. tions.” His position bere was so unequivical, thatthe Rev. Mr. Foss, formerly a clergyman of this town, could but assent to it as sufficient. ly** fanatical” to satisfy the most ultra aboli- tioniat, The speaker now took up the subject of slave. ry. He said it was the greatest trouble of the country, and was so regarded by Washington. As for himself, he * never saw a human being in bondage without feeling his heart revolt at it. Slavery is contrary to the Constitution in some respects—a moral blot upon the character of the nation. But it can’t be helped.” He re. ferred to the great peril in which the Union had been placed. Some, and among them Rhett of South Carolina, openly avowed disun. ion; and Jobn P. Hale had so far joined in the movement as to crack his jokes with Rhett and other secessionists. For himself, he was in great distress when he heard that the Compro- mise measures had failed. He was at Mere. dith, and told the people he wanted to die if | the Union was to be dissolved—and dissolve it | it must, if the Compromise measures did not | save it! After a few more exclamations in regard to savine the Union, and announcing the fact that in the late war “my own command and the Palmetio regiment stood together on the field of battle,” the General again took up the Com. promise measures, saying that the North got the kernel] and the South the shell. He re- peated what Mr. Ayer had stated before, * that the present Fugitive Slave law, about which so much noise is made, was in no particular different from the law of 1793, under which we lived nearly sixty years.” Here Mr. Foss said, that without interrupt- ing the epeaker, he wished to make an inquiry: “If in no particuluar different, why was it ne- cessary to pass the present law ?” General P. replied that the old law could not be executed because its execution depend— ed on the State Courts. He also said some— thing which was not fully understood about the oa of 1793, as based partly on the common aw. He was then asked, “ Was either the jaw of "93, or the present law, founded in any degree upon the commun law 1?” Gen. Pierce.—* [ can’t go into a disquisition upon the common law.” The inquiry was then made, “ Do youregard | the features of the Fugitive Slave law as con- sistent with common law !” Gen. Pierce. —” Well if I must answer, No, Ido not. I have been asked if [ liked this fu gitive Slave law. I answered, no. I bave a most revolting feeling at the giving up of a slave ; the Fugitive Slave law is opposed to humanity. [Here some one inquired! “ Is it not opposed to right 7”) Yes, it is opposed to moral right. But our fathers made the compact aad we must fulfil it. 1 say nothing of the bu- manity of it, nothing of the right of it.” Gen. P. then gave a vivid description of the scenes that*would occur if the law was disre- garded, “Anna, my dear, ah? what a beaati- sky ; how I admire it.” “Yes, John, BEFOTE THE PEOPLE! imes wish I was a s-k-y 1” | goes on well.

CHEERING NEWS!—PUSH ON THE COLUMN! ‘The last mail from the West brought us a large number of letters, giving the most glorious and cheering accounts of the progress of Joun Kerr—the PEOPLE’S candidate—in that section. A triend writing us from Morganton, under date of July 15th, says: “In candor I say to you, let other counties do as they may, that for Governor and Presi- dent Burxs will be found right side up. The Whigs of the county are thoroughly aroused, and Kerr made an impression on yesterday tbat will tell with powerful effect on the day of election.” We make the following additional extract from a letter from the same county : “ Let me say to you, and through you, to our friends, have no fears about the mountain dis. trict ; for just as sure as election day comes, you will bear such a report from us as we are sure good Whigs and good Patriots throughout the land will be rejoiced to hear.” A fiiend writes us from Caldwell county, as follows : “In this county, our noble standard bearer will poll the full Whig vole. Mr. Clingman’s friends here are warmly in his favor. Io the adjoining county (Wilkes) there is great zeal and enthusiasm for our candidate, and his vole will be larger than that county has given for many years.” A highly respectable gentleman, writing from Wilkes, also says: “T have heard Gov. Reid on two occasions, during the present campaign, and it struck me as something very remarkable, that the Go. vernor of the Stale should make two addresses to the people, of two hours each in length, and NOT SAY ONE SINGLE WORD IN REGARD TO THE INTERNAL IMPROVEMENTS eilher in existence or in the course of construction in various parts of the State. But so it is with the Democratic leaders—ihey are always pursuing and advo. cating some mere abstraction to tickle the fan. cy, while the great practical questions of the day are suiiealy overlooked and disregarded. “I bave no more to say, save that Kerr is thoroughly rousing the Whigs in the West, and you may prepare to hear WESTERN THUN. DER in August.” A friend communicates the following grati- fying information as to the state of things in Rutherford. He writes from Rutherfordton, under date of July 13th: “T[bave been pretty thoroughly over this county and some in Cleaveland. Every thing I do not believe there will he the slightest loss of Whig votes to Kerr. We will give him ea large majority. And as for Scott, despite all obstacles, he will sweep this District like Gen. Harrison did. The locos may boast as they please—but these will be the resulls.” Extract of a letter from Guilford, received by the last mail : * Guilford, though apparently distracted, will do her full duty, and | confidently look for an old Morehead majority for John Kerr.” A subscriber, writing us from Macon, as sures us that Kerr will gain considerably over Manly’s vote in that county. So much for the West. “ Now, by St. Paul, THE WORK GOES BRAVELY ON !!” From the counties East of Raleigh, the as. surances we receive are no jess encouraging. If our friends in the East do their duty, Joun Kerr will come to the Orange line with a clear gain of 30,000 votes over Manty’s vote in 1850. Mark our words! We are informed by a letter from Windsor, Bertie co., under date of the 18th: “ Col. Outiaw is bere, and, notwithstand- ing all that bas been said of him, is a decided Scorr man. The finest feeling prevails here. Kerr and Scorr will carry an unprecedently large vote in this Congressional District. Do your duty elsewhere, and all will be well.” Extract from a letter to the Editor from Franklin county . “The Whig spirit in old Franklin is fully aroused. Although we gave MANLy two years ago, the full Whig strength of the county, our W big friends in the State may look out for an increase on that voile. The public mind bere is in a blaze of enthusiasm for Scorr and Gra- Hax.” Extract from a letier from Warrenton : “ There are but one or two impracticable Whigs in our little band, and we will give larger vote than we have ever done.” In Northampton, there is every prospect of a decided change for the better. A gentleman ia rénewing his subscription, writes us that the county will most bly send a full Whig del. egation to the Legislature. In Hertlord, the Hoo.

It is believed by many in these parts, that the original communication in the Standard, charging Mr. Kerr with chang- ing his ground -at Greensborough, was written or dictated by Gov. Reid. The blic should know who is the author. If Gov. Reid, the fact, taken in connection with his failore to make any such charge Y | to Mr. Kerr’s face, should sink him to an infamy from which there would be no po- litical resurrection.— Fay. Ob. The Strongest Sort of Proof.—There is one fact, indisputable, which effectually disproves all the stories of the Raleigh Standard and its certifiers, about the dis- cussion at Greensborough. It is, that at Salem, where the candidates spoke two days after the Greensborough discussion. Gcv. Reid himself made no such charges agaiast Mr. Kerr. Can any body be- lieve, that he would have.failed to do so if Mr. Kerr had spoken as these certifiers assert? No. No! Mr. Reid must have been a fool, if such things occurred at Greensborough, not to make the changes ring upon them. Moreover, in the Standard of Saturday last, we find letters from Wilkesborough and Surry, neither of which pretend that Gov. Ried made any such charges, though they give accounts of the debates in those counties, subsequent to that at Greensha- rough. The whole thing is ‘a contemptible sham,’ concocted just as Mr. Kerr got out of the region of frequent mail facilities—sent East, not West where Mr. Kerr was, It had not overtaken him. It does not ap- pear in a solitary paper received from west of Greensborough. The whole thing is dase in the last de- gree. Instead of bearding John Kerr to his face, as an honest man would have done if the thing iad been true, not a whisper of it is heard where he is, but it is sent off to Raleigh, to be cooked up by one of the most unscrupulous papers that any State is cursed with. It is precisely the same kind of fraud which helped to elect Reid two yearsago. But surely the public will not be cheated twice in the same identical mode ! Fayetteville Observer. A Stumper.—We learn on the best au- thority, that on Wendesday, a gentleman of this city, not particularly a politician or partizan, when the extra of the Stand- ard was issued, proffered to bet one thous. and dollars that Joho Kerr had not chang- ed his former ground at Greensboro’ in re- lation to the basis and school fund, as was attempted to be made appear by that sheet—the decision of the bet to be made by Governor Reid himself. It is almost unnecessary to say, that there were no takers—all the Lofocrats, to whom it was proffered, backing out at once / Raleigh Times. The Asheville News has gone over to Pierce and King; and it is a happy rid- dance. It has been long a Locofoco pa- per-sailing under Whig colors, and there- fore doing the Whigs more harm than it can do when openly opposing them. The Union calls the News a “leading whig paper in North Carolina”!!! That is news certainly.— Fay. O6. Tbe Washington Union speaks of the Republic “copying from two abolition pa- pers in New Hampshire, certain let- ters purporting to have been printed in January last, containing extracts from a | speech of Gen. Pierce, in which he is | charged with having taken ground against the principles of the fugitive slave law.” This shows the desperate straits into which that exposure has thrown the Union. By using the phrase, “purporting to have been printed in January last,” it insinuates a doubt, which it dares not affirm, of the fact of any such publications having been made.— Fayetteville Observer. THE WILL OF HENRY CLAY. LouisvitEe, June 16.—The will of Henry Clay was presented in court on Monday last, and admitted to record. 11 is drawn up by his owa hand, and bears date of July 10, 1851.— It relates almost entirely to the disposition of his estate among the members of his family, the only exception being that which relates to his slaves. It provides that, all the children of his slaves born atier the 1st of January, 1850, are to be liberated and sent to Liberia—the males at the age of 28, and the females at the age of 25—three years of their earnings prior to emancipation to be reserved for their bene. fit for the purpose of fitting them out; prior to their removal they are to be taught to read, write and cipher. Slaves in being before 1852 are bequeathed to hia family. Asbland is lefito Mrs. Clay for her sole use and benefit during her life, and at her death is to be sold and the proceeds divided amongst his children. The following are the only specific devises outside of his family: To Dr. D. W. Dudley the gold snuff bor presented to him by Dr. Hunt, late of Washington; to Henry 8. Duncan a ring containing a piece of Washing. ton’s coffin and to Mr. W. N. Mercer a enuff box said to have belonged to Peter she Great. Mrs. Clay was appointed executrix and the Hon. Thomas A. Marshall and James O. Har. rison executors, with the provision that no se. curity should be required of either. RATIFICATION MEETING. The Whigs of Orange—the home of Wiuuam A.

To the Polls.—Next Thursday isthe day when the freemen of North Carolina will be called upon to poll their votes for Gov- ernor, and for members to the Legislature. All who exercise the right of suffrage have doubtless, as they should, endeavor- ed to arrive at some clear conviction of duty in the premises. They have consid. ered the principles of the candidates before them and the measures they advocate ; and with the best lights to aid them, have made up their minds who they will sup- port. We cannot bat believe that all men who have thus deliberately considered the importance of their voting, have dwelt with anxious coneern on the strong. ten- dency, prevalent at the present day, to disregard ancient institutions and usages in Government ;—to tear down, in gther words, the patiently wrought labor of our forefathers, and to substitute the flimsy fabrics of heated politicians and onscrup- ulous partizans. If they have done so, we must fain believe they have not over- looked the attempt which has been mak- ing to destroy the symetry of our organic law, by the introduction of Free Suffrage, as it iscalled. But we will not now add words on that subject. A Constitution such as ours is rare, and when the people shall consent to have it mutilated by Leg- islative tinkering, they will also live long enough to repent of their folly. WHIGS ATTEND. We are requested to give notice to the Whigs of Rowan, that there will be a meeting held at the Court-house, on Monday evening next, for the purpose of forming a Scott and Graham Club. The Whigs, generally, town and Coun. ty, are requested to be present, and participate in the proceedings. County Candidates—- Public Speaking, &c.— The Candidates now before the people in this County, will address the public at the Court. house in this place, on Tuesday afternoon of next week, being Tuesday of Court. DL We have seldom seen a more marked effect produced upon the general tone and bearing of the party press, than the recent bringing to light of the home sentiments of Gen. Pierce, as expressed at New Boston, on the subjects of the Com- promise and Slavery, has had upon the Democratic press of North Carolina.— They feel the stunning weight of the sen- timents then and there expressed, and reeling under it, have yet resolved to go ahead and deny it down. Gen. Pierce is opposed to the principles of the fugitive slave law—he loathes that law, and be- lieves it contrary to humanity and to mo- ral right. He so publicly expressed him- self no longer ago than the 2d January, 1852; and yet strange to say there are men in the Country who, even in the face of this open declaration who would make out Pierce a better Southern man than Gen. Scott! Gen. Scott, it is well known, is a Southern man by birth,—was born near Petersburg, in Va.,— a Southern man in feeling—ardently advocated and urged the passage of the Compromise measures, and in accepting his nomina- tion, has planted himself firmly upon the Whig platform, which was got up by the Southern delegates in the National Con- vention. This parallel is feebly drawn,—but the difference between Scott and Pierce on the questions of most particular interest to the South, is in finite—there is no compari- son ; and it is a matter of great astonish. ment to most persons that we have con- versed with, that certain Southern gentle- men heretofore ealling themselves Whigs should bave made that point the scans of their objection to Scott. With our gal- lant Kerr, the Whig candidate for Go. vernor, we heartily agree, that it is bet. ter to lose such friends than to keep them. They will be a dead weight to any party and the faster they get off the better. But it was our object to call the attention of the reader to the revelation in another colamn of Gen.

A special messenger arrived here yesterday from Franklin, New Hampshire, (where Mr. Webster is at present,) and left again for Washington, with cespatches tor the Government. The trouble is said to be of a most serious nature, Mr Webster's statement regarding the Fisheries. Bosron, July 19.—The courier of this morn- ing publishea an official document trom Mr. Wesster regarding the American Fisheries. He says that the measures takedi by the Brit— ish Government in regard to the question will cause a loss to the United States of these valu. able Fisheries, and a complete interruption of the extensive business in them now carried on by New England. This will give rise to con. stant collisions of an unpleasant and exciting character, and inevitably endanger the amica— ble relations of the two countries. The whole subject will engage the immediate attention of the Government. REMEMBER, That Gov. Reid received the secession Reso- lutions of the State of South Carolina, and transmitted them to the Legislature of this State WITHOUT A WORD OF DISAPPROVAL ! Yet, remember, that according \o the position assumed for bim by his friends, if a majority of the people of this State were to express a desire to bave the Constitution of the United States, or of the State, amended in any particular, he would not respect that voice so much as to submit it to the consideration of Congress or the Legis. lature ! Such utter disregard of the popular will is more becoming a despotism than a Republic ! He can send in Secession ResoLvuTions to our Legislature with a tacit approval, but he can’t let down his official dignity to respect the voice of the people of his own State, because that voice ain’t expressed EXACTLY ACCORDING To THE ConstiruTION.

The above reward will be paid for the apprehension and delivery in any Jail so that J get them again, of the two Boys, or $50 for either one. Description.—PETER islarge shouldered, and a little knock-need, has several teeth out in front, is quick spoken ; and has a lump on his left shoulder.— His age is between 30 and 35 yeers—his height about 5 feet 11 inches. TOM is low and chunky, with a scar in his fore- head from a cut. He is about 26 years of age, of a dark copper color. Both of these boys are quite inte:ligent and well cal- culated to deccive. They will no doubt aim at getting to a free State, as they tried to get a white man to take them off. But I have reason to believe they are now lurking about in the vicinity of Salisbury. They are passing themselves off as free boys. Any, information concerning them will be thankfully received, and the reward paid upon delivery as above said. JAS. J. MAXWELL.

Opinions of the Press, The Louisville Journal says: “ Dr. Rogers’ Liver- wort and Tar not only gives infmediate relief in coughs and colds, but, from the testimony of men of the high- eat standing here and elsewhere, it is making some very ble cures of consumption.” ‘ ge og 1 Regisier adds: “ We have heard it atated, by persons of great respectability, who have used this medicine, that it is one of the most remark- able medicines of the age, for coughs, colds, influenza, bronchitis, asthma, pain in the side and breast, spitting of blood, whooping cough, and all lung complaints, which, if neglected, usually terminate in consumption; and the certificates attached to the advertisement would seem fully to justify this statement.” Liverwort,—Tohis plant has, for many years, been found to be of singulur yirtue in the cure of af- fections of the Liver. Moré recently it was ascertain- ed that it possessed great pawer in arresting Bleeding at the Lungs, Coughs of a chronic character, &c., and of essential service in all diseases of a pulmonary cha- ter. Tar.—This article is now universally acknow ledged to be the most healing and efficient application for diseased or decaying lungs, or any portion of the fleshy or muscular parts of the human body. Its med- icinal and presd@vative qualities were understood by the Egpptians in the early ages of the world, and no doubt nov exists among scientific men, that the pre- paration used in the embulmment of bodies, was com- posed principally of this ingredient. In later ages, it was found to be in universal use among the aborigines of America, and at this day it is their principal, and, in fact, only medicine for an unsound state of the lungs, or afty approach to it. Those who are acquainted with the history of this hardy race of men, ‘know that a death from Consumption is unknown among them !— The medical faculty in all countries appear to have be- come aware of the great healing properties of this ar- ticle, agd are now introducing it in their practice. Dr. Buchan, of England, Dr. Crichton, of St. Petersburg, Dr. La Prieure, of Paris, and the distinguished Dr. Cooper, bave been in the habit of combining it with other articles in their prescriptions, and with entire success, i> Beware of Counterfeits and Base Imitations! “The genuine article is signed Andrew Rogers, on * the engraved wrapper around each bottle.

THE SCIENCE OF AGRICULTURE. The.art of Agricalture, is pretty gener- ally well anderstood in this country ; pro- bably, (considering ‘all circumstances.) as well as in any other. Our farmers can all do the work, and do it well, too, But the science, the theory of agri- culture, is not well understood. Agricul- taral science, embraces a considerable number of other sciences. Indeed, it is a combination of sciences, for there are ve- ry few that do not enter into the practice of the farmer. He may not know it, bat itis true, nevertheless. Let us enumerate them, The farmer should be a chemist, mineralogist, and geologist, because he practices these sciences every day of his life, whether he knows itor not. He should | | | { in the | Tefage in allits troubles, and from him it Councils be appointed agents for the dispo. | is alsoan art composed of or composing sal of Scholarships. | | | | proceedings of this Convention to the Editors | lof the | be a botanist, for he practices it very large- ly; he should be a Physician, for he has frequent occasions to resort to this sci- ence, both in man and beast; he should be an etomologist, for no class or profession has much interest in this branch of know- icdge as the farmer; he should be well versed in natural history, and he often is, gz 4 svilable of its theoreti- mer, and this too, he is quite too often ignor- ant; he should be a political economist, for in him, at last, the public welfare takes derives its strength—the enlightened far- If agriculture be a science composed of all sciences, it nearly all other arts. The farmer ought of his family are bakers and brewers; he is @ carpenter, a machinist, and quite lrequenily an engineer. Now, if all this be true, what class of the human family require so general and so thorough an ed- ucation as the farmer, to make them mas. ters of their profession? It seems to the writer that the world acts most prepos. terously in bestowing a thorough liberal education upon those who are to practice a single simple science, and withholding it from him who is to practice all the sciences and all the arts. Farmers, them. selves, are too aptto take the same course by educating at a university one of their sons who is destined to be a lawyer or a doctor, and contenting themselves with giving their other sons and daughters, who are to be farmers and farmers’ wives, the simplest of a country school education.— “Doctoring and lawyering comes from education, and farming by nature,” a re- mark actually made to me by an old and | respectable farmer. That even the art of farming is incapable of easy and quick acquirment, every farmer knows; but that the science, the theory of farming, as well as the handicraft, should be expected to be obtained more easily, and in less time than those of the other professions. is, of all buman errors, the most unaccountable. It is true, the boy raised upon a farm, and diligently performing the usual labors of a working farmer, will acquire the handicraft of the art by the time he is of | lawful age, without the aid of school edu- cation—he may do so without being able to write hisname. But then what sort of farmeris he? A mere mechanical opera- the greater interests, such as making, sav- ing. and applying renovators, lime, &&c.,) and mixing” soils; these all require ‘a knowledge of chemistry, theoretical and practical. There are but few farms that have not different qualities of soil, in dif. ferent places, in excess. Here, a low, ‘sour’ bottom, there an arid sand bill; here, a dead clay, and by the side of that river a wide margin of black vegetable mould. How speedy would the truly scientific far- mer commence carrying sand to the clay, and clay and sand tothe vegetable mouid and the latter to all others—and by thus mixing the various soils, render the whole fertile? If he be in doubt whether the soils of his various fields contain the ne- cessary quantity of lime, how easily can he ascertain that fact, and if they do not, ap- ply the proper quantity of this renovator. Possibly his soil is rich enough in vegeta. ble organic matter, and if so, he ascer- tains the fact, and applies no more of that class of manures; resorts to chemical reaovators. And probably the reverse turns out to be the case—he has found lime and potash enough in the soil, and wants vegetable matter, and he applied it, In fine,a knowledge of chemistry, vegetable physiology, and a modicum of common sense, will enable him to ascer- tain what articles of manure his various fields require, and thus avoid not only his “carrying coals to New Castle,” but pay- ing dearly for them too. A general knowl. edge of chemistry and the kindred sci- ences would also put an effectual stop to blindfold and costly experiments. It would also put a stop to universal agri- cultural panaceas. No body would then think of saying that commom salt, soda, lime, anything, was an universal manare. They would then be all good only where and when they were wanted in a soil.— But, says everybody, how can all this be done? How can everybody be edo- cated and made seientific! I answer. by introducing scientific education into all the schools. How many a farmer's son is taught French, Latin, Greek, Mathema- tics, Algebra, and a dozen other subjects, not one of which will ever bea hundredth part as useful to him as chemistry and veg- etable physiology would be. Enough of chemistry, and all the collateral sciences, should -be, and can be, taught in plain English, in any country schools, to make every farmer a truly scientific agricultu- ralist. and it seems to me the legislatures of the States should take the matter in band. In my opinion, there should be in every county of the State schools express- ly for this subject, at which teachers should be prepared to teach these sciences in common schools. GIDEON B.

A GOOD STORY. The following capital story we extract from a letter to the Alabama Journal, by J, J. Hoop. er; Shall I tell you a bit of a story, having no connection with politics, this hot, dry weather? By permission— Old Col. D.——, of the Mobile district, was one of the most singular characters ever known in Alabama. He was testy and eccen. (ric, but possessed many fine qualities whieh were fully appreciated by the people of that dis- trict. Many of his freaks are afresh in the memory of the * old uns” of Mobile, and all of them will tell you that the Colonel though hard \o beat, was once terribly taken in by a couple of legal tyrus. It is George Woodward, I be. lieve tells the story, but however that may be its in-keeping with others related of the old gen. tleman. Lt seems that Colonel D. had had a misunderstanding with the two gentlemen allu. ded to and was not on speaking terms with them, although all of the three were profession. ally riding the circuit pretty much together.— I'he young ones being well aware of the Col- onel’s irascible nature, determined as they left one of the courts fur another, to have some sport at his expense by the way. ‘They accor- dingly got about half au bour’s start in leaving and, presently they arrived at a broud dark stream, that looked as if it might be a doz. en feet deep, but which in reality was not more than as many inches. Crossing it they alighted, pulling off their coats and boots, and sat down quietly to watch the old “Tartar.” Jogging along, at length, up came the old fellow. He looked first at tbe youngsters who were gravely drawing on their buots and coats as if they bad just had a swim—and then he looked at the broad creek tbat rolled be- fore him like a Quent, translucent star. The Colonel! was awfully puzzled. “Is this creek swimming 7” he growl. ed after a pause of some moments. No reply was made—the yoinng men simply mounted their bhorees, and rode off some little distance, and stopped to watch the he- ro The Col. slowly divested himself of boots, coat, pantaloons and drawers. These he neat. ly tied up in his handkerchief, and hung them on the horn of his saddle. ‘Then he remounted and as he was a fat, short man with a paunch of inordinate size, rather inadequate legs, a face like a withered apple, and a brown wig, there is no doubt he made an interesting picture as he bestrode his steed, * breeze holding geo- tle dalliance” with the lower extremities of his only garment. Slowly and cautiously did the old gentleman and his horse take the creek. Halla length A correspondent furnishes us with the follow. ing authentic anecdote of Gen. Scott. It re. | lates to a period of his history whea materials are not superabundant : In the Winter of 1838 and ’39, Gen. Scott | was summoned to the War Department at | Washington, and there told he must proceed to | the frontier lines on the Niagara River, and | put a stop to the interference of American cili- zens with the Canadian Government, and asked | how long before he could be ready. _ His an. tor, who is obliged to follow the patterns | and examples of his predecessors, being | incapable of improving them in form or | | substance, not knowing anything of the | theory of their operation, or upon what | | principles they may be changed for the | | | not why he blows the bellows—he only | two and a half miles, where they arrived about | | day of August, A.

They are seventeen in number, and em- brace in all ten thousand eight hundred and twenty-four miles of wire. A Move. Leo1sLaTror.—Edmund Laurence a member of the Indiana Legislature, recently refused to receive pay for eight days during which he was abseat from duty. ‘and have it withheld when it was mach | wanted, all because the operators were ‘not, produce results there equal to those better. The common blacksmith knows | knows he increases the heat of his forge | by it, but he knows not why; and the mere- | ly practical farmer knows that by doing certain things he will produce certain re- such things produced such results in his | predecessor's time, but he knows not why ! If the blacksmith and farmer knew all | about the theory upon which their labors | depended for their effects much more ef. | fectively and how much more certainty of | results, would they not both labor? I have | seen stable manure applied to land al- | ready too rich in such materials, and have heard wonder expressed because it did produced on land where it was wanted. I have seen lime applied to land where- in there was already a superabundance, unacquainted with the cbemistry that properly belongs to their profession, Sap- pose the dairy woman knew the theory of the operation of churning, the philosophy if you please, of the separation of the but- ter from the milk or cream, bow many hours of hard labor would such knowledge not save her, and how much more butter | would she not obtain from her milk 7— Even in the kitchen of every farm house, yes, every city dwelling house, there are numerous chemical operations constantly going on, which if properly understood would resolt greatly to the advantage and comfort of a!l. The simple prepara- tion of a cup of coffee, will depend for its result upon a chemical operation, and the beverage will be good or bad, accord- ing as it shall be prepared in accordance | with correct chemical! principles. Gener- ally, cooks have made coffee so often un- der the instruction of others@@hat they know how to make it properly, but they bave nat the least idea of the philoso hy of all other operations in cooking. Dat swer was, in halfanhour. His arrival in Bul. | talo was in the afiernoon, where he took charge | of the militia and volunteer companies whic had been ordered io from the neighboring coun. | lies, together with what few Government troops | were stationed in the barracks al that place and | ordered them down to the village of Black Rock | 12 o'clock ofan intensely cold night. The in- | habitants opened their houses, barns, and churches, and made them comfortable until | | morning, when they proceeded to Fort Slossin, a loose flying jib. | sults, if the season be propitious, because | opposite Navy Island in the Niagara River, three miles above the Falls; and during that and the following day brought off the Patriot army, which bad taken up its rendezvous on | the island—consisting mostly of American cil- izens, headed by Gen. Van Rensselaer—taking their arms from and dispersing them in squads | of six or eight as they were brought off. On his return to Black Rock, be found two Canadian armed schooners lying at anchor, for | the pupose, as he was informed, of molesting | and detaining the steamboat Barcelona which | had gone down the river, as the Canadians sup posed, for the purpose of taking arms and amu- nition from Navy Island up the Lake, where | another rendezvous was in contemplation. Gen. | Scott dispatched a messenger to Col. Kirby of the Canadian Army, being the highest in com. mand at that point, with intelligence that the Barcelona was private property, navigating the river for whom it may concern, and that she had nothing to do with the Navy Islanders.— The messenger received for answer, I dov’t | command, and therefore cannot be answerable | for what may be done. He then sent the same | message on board each of the schooners, and received for answer, “ We have received our orders and shall obey them.” Gen. Scott im- mediately placed several companies of artillery with lighted matches, ball and cartridge, in @ position commanding the Schooners, and there with bis suite, consisting of Wortb, (ben a Col. onel,) Wool, Gov. Marcy, and other distinguish- ed characters, repaired to the piazza of a large stone mansion, fronting the river, and directly site where the vesels were lying. A cou ple af spy-glasses which were kept for observa. tion the river and lake, uiber scenery mess bandon him. The old Baule Ground of the war of 1812 lay in sight; Seott, while a— waiting the return of the steamers, entered idto some of the incidents of pew bartlee, sans ich was the fa of a Major * *, scattering fewk Sd blood hy his (Scott’s) clothes as the cannon ball struck him.

Thirty feet further, and a decided shoaling ! Here Colonel D reigned up. “ There must, said he, be a h—! of a swift deep chan— nel between that and the bank—see how the water runs? We willdash through.” A sharp lash made the horse spring the “ wa. lery waste;” and another carried the borse and rider safely to the opposite bank. The creek was nowhere more than a foot deep. A wild yell from the young ones announced their appreciation of the sport as they galloped “Til catch you, you rascals!” was ground between Cul. D ’s teeth—away he galloped in bot pursuit, muttering vengeance on his foes. On—on they sped! pursuer and pursued, the youngsters laughed, yelled and screamed—the Colone! damned with mighty emphasis, while his shirt floated and crackled in the wind, like On—on—and the pursuer reached the farm house on the road side. Their passing startled a flock of geese from a fence corner which, as the Colonel dasbed up, met him with outspread wings, elongated necks, and hisses dire. His horse swerved suddenly, and the Colonel in & Moment, was in a most unromantic heap of clothes seatiered around ! The white headed children of the house came out first; took a distant view of the monster— as it seemed to them—and then returned to re- port progress. Afiera little the father of the family came, and the affair being explained, assisted the Colonel in making bis toilette ; the Colonel swearing and the countryman laughing all the while. Dressed and remounted, our hero started off with a woful phiz, and was soon out of sight. The Rheumatics.—A writer in the Lon- don Lancet recommends pure lime juice (two to six ounces per diem) as an almost certain cure for acute rheumatism. Hoop- er, of the Lafayette (Ala.) Tribune, says he once had a friend in Montgomery af- flicted with the disease who used this compound: Lemon juice, about one table spoonful; sugar, two ditto; water, ad li- bitum; maraschino, half a wine glass ; dash with old Jamaica ram—and swal- low.

WEBSTER — FISHERY QUESTION. Bactimore, July 25, 1852. Mr. Webster had a grand reception at’ Marshfield yesterday. Hon. Seth Spragae welcomed him in an address, to whieh Mr. Webster responded. Mr. Webster declined defining his poe’ litical position with regard to the Presi- dential nominations, He said the fishery. question would not be neglected by the Administration, but that the American” fishermen would be protected at all haze ards. He pronounced the conduct of Ea- gland wholly unjustifiable. Elections next Month.— Alabama, Iowa, Missouri aod North Carolina, are the on-' ly States which vote in August this wal as every one having now opposition Gov-. ernors and Legislatures—Kentucky and Tennessee have no elections in August, 1852.

AN OLD TRICK RENEWED. THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY HARD RUN. There is no party which exhibits so ho- ly a horror at tricks in electioneering as the Democratic Party; and yet there is none so constantly guilty of that very ‘thing as this same party. We have a case now before us. They never fail to ' warn the public against Secret Circulars, and hardly ever fail to send them out ‘themselves. Suchinconsistency and mean. “ness deserves to be rewarded with per- | petual disgrace, and frowned upon by ‘every honest man. By the kindness of a ‘friend, we have before us an Extra from ‘the Standard office at Raleigh, dated July / 29th, which we learned has been exten- in another place expressed the ea gear : ical game going on, & is doubtless a deep politica ote he ni But they have ; by warning against Whig Secret Extras and Circulars, and thus all par- ties age forwarned against their own private bul- lets. We will only repeat a warning to ALL. Put no-confidence in this or any other Secret Extra, issued on the eve of the Election ! The very fact that it has not been circulated here, proves that those who issued it were afraid to let it be #een here, lest it might be etposed !— BEWARE!!! From the Greensborough Patriot. ANOTHER ATTEMPT? AT FRAUD! It seems that the powers of darkness are all to bé employed in this campaign by the party calling themselves “demo- crats.” We had hoped that the attempt to disgrace John Kerr, made by the string- pullers in this county, was as disreputable as any partizans would dare make. But a secret plot, even more vile, has just been brought ta light, by the Weldon Pa- triot. lt is possible that there has been a se- cret understanding with the leaders of the party, that some underhanded trickery should be invented just on the eve of the election, too late to be counteracted, for the benefit of locofocory! It really does seem so. Oh, just think of it! What a display would have been made, had not the plot have been discovered !— Blood and Thunder! A northern Senator in correspondence with North Carolina Quakers! Gen, Scott an abolitionist |— And with what avidity would the Stan- dard have taken hold of it, to renew its sneering and insulting remarks about the Quakers. But Troman Smith was a lit- tle too wide awake to be caught by this nefarious plot. Keep on the watch, hon- est men of all parties; there may be schemes alike low, to be brought forward on the eve of the election, in other parts of the State, to deceive the unsuspecting and secure their votes. For never was there a party that so fully carried out the doctrine, that “the end justifies the means,” as the leaders of the present locoloco party. One word to the honest, strait forward Democrats, who detest meanness, who love high-minded, honorable political warfare,— how can you follow in the wake of such leaders? Come out from among them. Such association is not congenial to your feelings. Why will you remain io such company 7? Fellow-citizens, of all parties, see what means are used to defeat John Kerr !— best advantage. — game on themselves, | Will you permit such secret schemers to succeed? We hope and believe not.— Then work from now till the day of elec- tion, and on the day of election, for the bold, the honest, the eloquent Kerr. and truth will prevail. From the Weldon, N.

Nothing can be more untrue, and therefore unjust ; and in order to expose this vile slander, | as far as we can, put forthin this form, and _at this late hour, we issue our paper two days earlier than common. The reader's attention is invited to the following, on this subject, which we copy from the Ral- _eigh Register of the 31st July. It will be seen that the people of Raleigh, at that _time, bad only heard a rumor that a Se- cret Circular had been issued. They | were not permitted to see it—it was not | intended that any person should see it | who could have it in their power to ex- pose it before the election. From the Register. Mr. Gates :—You have doubtless seen an | Extra issued from the Standard office on Wednesday night last; but | have good rea— sons for believing thai the few copies that were fullowed to be seen in Raleigh. on Thursday morning, are not the same as those sent ia There is no doubt a grand fraud connected with this thing.g.Portions of the original Extra, for the East, bdV¥e been taken out and some Edito. rials of Wednesday's Standard inserted in their place, for this County, it is said. Different paragraphs still are probably inserted for Wes. ple as ever lived—the Quakers of North- ampton—is something which we cannot suffer to pass unnoticed. For as to doso, would be to render ourself unworthy the position we occupy—unworthy the respect of the intelligent people by whom we are surrounded. We confess our inability to portray the transaction as it deserves, and we shall content ourself with submitting it to the judgment of that public whom it was de- signed to deceive, with the simple remark that we have kuown Mr. Peterson for sev- eral years past, and we know that he IS, and has been ever since we first knew him, one of the strongest Democrats we ever knew. It may be that Mr. Peterson is not alo responsible for this singular traséastion.

There has been a considerable excitement about quartz mines, not altogether died away—some have gone to work putting up machinery a few miles from here. I have been told that suitable ma- chinery to work quartz mines cannot be put up at a less expence than twenty thousand dollars, and some cost as high as forty thousand. It is generally supposed here that where a quariz lead will pay for working, that it is an inde. pendent fortune. There seems to have been a great excite. ment in Burke and the adjoining counties since I lett—every letter of late brings some news of men coming that I never dreamed of leaving home—poor fellows, I feel for them—I sup- pose now the most of them are between Pa. nama and San Francisco on sail ships, perhaps, on allowance.

The bands are’ stretched with powerful ma- chines, made expressly for that purpose, and the diffi- culty of bands stretching and ripping under the com- mon way of making them, is entirely removed by this process. Bands made in this way will hold their width evenly, run true, and have a uniform bearing on the drum or pulley, and will give from 15 to 20 per cent. more power than those made in the ordinary way.— They are made out of the best selected oak tanned Spanished Leather, and no pains will be spared to make them equal to the best Northern bands, and will be sold as low as they can be brought in New York.

Hear what the National Intelligencer Says about editing a new e3 Many people estimate the ability of newspaper, and the industry and talent of its editor by the editorial matter it con- tains. It is comparatively an easy task for a frothy writer to pour out daily col- amns of words—words upon any and all subjects. His ideas may flow in one wishy-wasby everlasting flood, and his command of language may enable him to string them together like bunches of on- tons ; and yet his paper may be a meagre and poor concern. But what is the toil of such a man who displays his leaded matter largely, to that imposed on a judi- cious, well informed editor, who exercises bis vocation with an bourly consciousness of his responsibilities and duties, and de- votes himself to the conduct of his paper with the same care and assiduity that a sensible lawyer bestows upon a suit, a ba- mane physician upon a patient, without regard to show or display! Indeed,the mere writing part of editing a paper is bat a small portion of the work. the care, the time employed in selecting, is far more important, than the fact of a good editor better known by his selections than any- thing else, and that we all know is half the battle. But as we have said, an edi- tor ought to be estimated, and his labors understood and’apprciated, by the gener- al conduct ot bis paper, its tone, its princi- ple and aims, its manliness, its dignity and propriety. To preserve these as they should be preserved, is enough to occupy fully the time and attention of any many. If to this be added the general supervision of the newspaper establishment, which most editors have to encounter, the won- der is how they find time to write at all. “SKY HIGH, SIR, SKY HIGH!” Wherever the news of Gen. Pierce’s ‘“‘ Home views” on the Fugitive Slave Law and the in. stitutions of the South bas extended, it has pro. duced a prodigious sensation.

The Supply of Water at New York.—The Croton river bas been found insufficient to sup- ply the population of New York with water, owing to the lavish manoer in which it has been used. ‘The subject has been made a matter of inquiry by the authorities, and the tollowing are some of the facts reported by the committee: ~ “The minimum flow of the Croton during a drought is less than 27,000,000 of gallons in Now all that flow is brought to this City, and yet the supply is now down in the re- ceiving reservoirs more than three feet lower than the top water line, and the distributing reservoir is not full by ten leet. The quantity that can be delivered in one day is limited to the capacity of (wo pipes of three feet diameter; so that if the Crotoa river could affurd us any greater supply, we could aot get out of the diffi- culty for sometime. The committee state that the cost per gallon is three-fourths of a cent, and that the daily loss by waste amounts to $500,000 per annum. committee coa— clude their report by the suggestion that, unless the citizens voluotarily refrain from the waste, it will be mecessary to pass an ordinance stop ping the’supply of water to ell stéam vessels ; to interdiet the use of sireet-washers for two or three months, and to close all public and private fountsins, and to compel the sireet sprinklers to obiain their supply {rom the riv- erat > | ew York Timed thinks it better to The N ‘ork - ag — . “4 : eer ger tw e~ ger en oe ips, Pree Gras aha tar a pe eer ‘a _THURSD kisses. “Ob! weil, pray and | will ship over that given up all hopes ¢ . ~ he >. 5 os AY. AUGUST From the Fayetteville Observer, A Great Discovery for North Carolina. —A writer in the Washington Union mentions prodigious results to flow, partic- ularly to the turpentine region ef North Carolina, from the discovery of a process to make oil from rosin. It is stated that two barrels of the refuse rosin, now gen- erally thrown away as costing more to get to market than it will produce, ‘will make one barre! of oil; that the oil is worth 40 cents a gallon. at which price the demand for it is greater than the sup- ply ; that the cost of making the oil is tri- ing. It is estimated that $50,000,000 are an. nually expended in the United States for sperm oil, for rail roads, factories, &e., and in consequence the price of animal oils has materially advanced. A commit- tee appointed by the Lowell mills has re- ported that “one-half less power is requi- site to drive heavy machinery lubricated with a mixture of this rosin oil with its bulk of sperm oil, the mixture costing-but three-eights of the price of the sperm re- quired when used alone. Now when, we estimate the saving thus effected not only in the cost of the material, but the advantages to result from the saving of power required when the mixture is used, it will be perceived that one of the most important industrial results known to the present century is being brought through the means of the discovery to which we refer above. Its effect on the value of property and labor in the pine-bearing re- gions of North Carolina and Georgia can- not fail to be wonderful indeed. While it tends to cheapen the necessaries and comlorts of life in manufacturing regions, it must eventually quadruple the value of lands producing rosin, which are now or may in time become accessible.” Effects of the Dumps.—A curious case is related by the ‘Troy Budget of a girl in that city losing her speech for a whole week! Be- ing disobedient, and refusing to answer her mother, when spoken to, she found—alier sit- ting dumpishly in the corner about an hour brooding over lrer bad conduct—that she was unable to utter or articulate a word! Her friends did not take particular notice of ber for a couple of days, supposing she was keeping up her pet. Finally, she wrote down that she could not speak, when her friends became alar. ed, and consulted several physicians. After a week had passed she awoke one morning, and found herself again in speaking order. TBEA—COFFEE— INDIGO. A writer in the National lotelligencer estimates the value of Coffee consumed in the United States, England and France, at $59,000,000, and Indigo $21,000,000. He states that the genuine Tea tree, in its fall perfection grows to a height of forty to fifty feet, and is cultivated from lat. 70 deg. to 32 deg. north latitude, un- der severe frosts and snows, and many of the mountains, high opon whose sides the plant grows, are capped with perpetual snow. The idea that Tea will only flour- ish in a hot climate appears to be erone- ous. He recommends the cultivation of both Tea and Indigo, for which the cli- and soil of different sections of this coun- try are well adapted He says: Tea can be procured in this country un- der seven cents a pound, calculating labor at 60 cent perdiem. A tea plantation requires care the first and second years, afier which it is a most hardy plant, and will yield tea for twenty-five to thirty years. So the only trouble is plucking the leaves and drying them, which is labor for women and children. Three men ac- tively engaged ten hoors in the day may collect 50 to 60 Ibs. of green leaf, and another would manufacture them, and the quantity of dried Tea would be 12 1-2 to 15 Ibs. A fair plantation would produce 300 Ibs. per acre. I bave as much as 480 lbs. per acre in the year on some land | held on the West of China. Of Indigo he is equally sanguine, and denies that its cultivation is unhealthy ; nor is that its character where it is known and cultivated. He is of opinion that it can be produced here under 30 cents per Ib. Prices of Indigo for the last forty years vary from $1 to $2 per Ib. NEW YORK ROWDYISM. Rowdyism has becume #5 rampant in New York that “ Vigilaace Committees” are re- commended, to deal out summary punishment to the offenders.

I thought I should die; [i e’en a most killed me, [ vow. Why, one day I was bold’s, and the plow hit @ stump ‘which measured juet wine feet and a half through it, bard and sound white oak. The plow split it, and I was going straight throogh it when T happened to think it might enap together, again, so I threw my feet out, and no sooner done this than it snapped to. gether, taking a smart hold ‘of the seat of my pantaloons. Of course I was tight, but I held on to the handles: and, though the teamsters did all they could, that team of eighty oxen could not tear my pantaloons, nor cause me to let go my grip. At last though, afer letting the cattle breathe, they gave another strong pull altogether, and the old stump came out about the quickest. It had monstrous long roots too, let me tell you.

Loox Our !—Our town is ftooded with pamphlets, sent to our citizens ander the frank of Members of Congress from Indi- ana, New York, &e. We have one now before us, addressed to a highly respecta- ble Whig merchant of this town, franked by Daniel Mace, whom neither the receiv- er of the pamphlet nor ourselves had ever heard of before, it requiring a search over the whole list of Members of Congress to find out whether there was such a man in Congress at all. It was finally discover- ed that there is such a Locofoco member from Indiana. The pamphlet is headed “The Whig- Abolitionist attack! Whigs and Aboli- tidnists against Pierce.” And as the au- thor seems to have supposed that that was so barefaced a falsehood it would require constant reiteration to make any body, even himself, believe it, his first sentence is as follows: “The abolitionists are bit- terly opposed to Franklin Pierce.” The enormity of this falsehood is appa- rent to every man of the least information.

Two copper tools, and several bammers of stone, together with coal and ashes of wood, were lying around it, as fresh to all appearances, as though they had been made last year; and yet there was six feet of vegetable soil above them, sur- _mounted by a tree which, on being cut, proved to be at least five hundred years old. . ! bat now | would not do i = 5s . - il. 3 a rhe od. | We got the wood | j PA, : } loat our Bet? ogee wredee- mes.

It is stated that the boats ¢ommenced racing from the stari—the boats bele , of course, to rival lines, All the landings were thissed, in the eagerness of the race, eatil Hud- son was reached. Here the Armenia made the landing first, and the Henry Clay was obliged to wait until ber rival’s departure, be fore she could get to the dock. ‘The Armenia,of course, again got the start, taking the west channel of the river. Her competitor lollowed on the east side of the river—she channels be. ing separated for some distance by a grassy flat. When the boats reached the lower end of this flat, they were about ‘abreast uf each other, each striving to make the next’ landing (Kingston, we should ‘it to be from the description) ahead of the other. The Arme- nia, it will be seen, wae nearest. the shore. on which Kingston:is situated. |The Clay, bow. ever, crowded her so hard that they came io collision, and ran side by side for some distance, the wheel-house of the Armenia sustaining, meantime, considerable damage. The passengers, with the exception of a reckless few, had exhibited much alarm during the entire passage thus far, apprehending some fatal result to the hazardous race. When the boats came in collision, 'heir alarm increased | so much that several ladies fainted, ahd many others gave expression to their fears in loud outeries and tears. It is proper to state here, that Capt. Tallman was confined to his room by sickness, and did not assume command at all, Algo, that Thomas Collyer, ove of the owners of the boa!, was on board. We are told that, alter the collision, four gentlemen weal to the persons who were in command, stating | the consternation of the ladies, and remonstra- ting against the fearful risk to.which the pass- engers were being subjected, and begging that the race should cease. At this time, the beat in the vicinity of the engine and boiler rooms was so great that it had become almost impos- sible to pass from one end of the vessel to the other. This fact was mentioned as an evidence of the hazardous effurts which were being made to secure a fruitless victory, at the expense of the comfort, if not the lives of, all on board.— The remonstrances were unavailing. The re. ply was, that the boat was getting along very well, and that there was nodanger to be ap. prebended. ‘The race accordingly contiaoued, the Henry Clay succeeding, finally, in crowd: ing her competitor so near the shore, that she was compelled to drop astern, in order to keep from running aground. ‘The Clay made the landing, took on board the few passengers in waiting, and secured the few dollars charged for their fare. At what price the paliry sum was obtained, the melancholy sequel! will show. As may be supposed, the feeling of those on board—a large majority of them ladies, many of whom were without protectors—had by this time become so excited, that few were prepared mergency in which they were soon to be plung- ed. The Henry Clay maintained her vantage and through the Highlands a short distance a— head of the Armenia. Emerging from that narrow passage, the latter fell rapidly astern of the H. Clay, which passed Sing some four miles ahead. In the meantime dinner had been serv. ed, and the passengers were grouped on the main and promenade decks,some what reassured now that the boats were so far separated. At about a quarter before 3 o’clock, just afier pass- ing the village of Yonkers, the thrilling cry of * Fire!” resounded from the centre of the vessel. A glance towards the engine-room showed a column of smoke pouring up from one of the | hatches. Almost simultaneously, the flames leaped from the hold near the hoiler rooms ; and in Jess than one minute the entire vicinity of the machinery was enveloped in flames, cut. ling offall communication between forward and alt. A Western steamboat Captain, who was on buard, expresses his conviction that tar, resin or some other bighly inflammable matter must | have been in use in the boiler room for fuel, as | wood—even heated as was every part of the vessel, near the machinery, by the unusual fires of the day—could not, by any possibility, have ignited and raised a dense wall of flame, in the few seconds which elapsed after the first | alarm, and before communication fore and alt | was cut off. This testimony is confirmed by other gentlemen with whom we conversed. Panic and confusion now assumed the reins. | The realization of the gloomy forebodings of | the morning seemed to be athand. Men, wo. meno and children, were thrown into an alarm. | ing state of contusion, Ladies were calling | upon their husbands for succor ; mothers clasp. | ed their children to their Losums, with the en. | ergy of despair, as they retreated trom the rap- | idly spreading destruction. Husbands who were on the forward deck strove in vain to reach | their partners left but a moment before in the- after-saloon. Groavs, cries, slrieks, impreca- | tions, and prayers, were mingled in mournful | chorus. From the instantthat the fire was dis. | covered despair seemed to setile upon the hearts | of a large portion of the passengers, and shut | out from view altogether the bope calculated to induce sel{-possession and effectual efforts for | safely. A cry for “the boats” was raised ; but no | boats could be found. We cannot ascertain | that a single yaw! or life. boat was on board the | steamer. If there was one such, we are as. | sured that none was brought into use. Nor can we learn that there was any effective ap— paratus on board with which to estinguish a fire. Atall events, every effort to save the vessel be- | came 80 uilerly hopeless, within five minutes | after the flames broke out, that it was abandon. | ed aud the steamer’s head was turned towards | the east bank of the River in order to run her | the earliest moment was fully apparent.

Others to the guards of the vessel with the energy of desperation, The redder and steering gear furnished temporary safety to others. A number succeeded in getting hold ot the braces on the under side of the guards.— Several ladies threw the end of a stern line over- board, let themselves down into the water, and sustained themselves by it until aid reached them, fortunately before the line, which was on fire, had become too weak to support them.— But many others jumped frantically into the water, andsank to rise no more. A gentleman who was forward, and who got on shore soon afier the vessel struck, says that not one of a number of ladies—some with children in their arms—whom he saw jump from the larboard side, were saved. He expresses the conviction that some fifiy or sixty lives, at least, were lost. We wish we could add that little reliance could be placed on his statements ; but of all those with whom we conversed, he seemed the calm- est and most likely to be well-informed. We heard of but one person who is supposed to have been burned to death; ane child, we are told, was seen to fal! beneath the flames in the alter saloon. A Mr. Way, of Wellsville, Ohio, was among the passengers. When the Clay first struck he swam ashore, procured a raft of several loose boards, and ‘returned to save his wife. ‘The drowning creatures about him, in their etruggles for safety, broke up his raft and compeled him to abandon it. ‘The loose boards sustained quite a number of the sufferers above water until help came. Mr. Way got under the steamer’s guard again, and sustained his wile and two other ladies until the small boats came up. Before the Engineer, (Mr. Jacob Zimmer- man,) was compelled to leave his post, he ar- ranged the valve properly and left the machi- nery in full motion. ‘The engine worked well untilihe vessel struck, when the machinery stopped with a crash, probably from the giv- ing way of the timbers supporting it. When the engineer and firemen reached the forward deck, they fell overpowered by the heat and suffocation to which they bad been subjected. THE MASS MEETING AT LUNDY’S LANE, A more appropriate opening of the campaign for Gen. Scott. could scarcely have been devised than that which took place a few days ago. at Lundy’s Lane— the scene of the gallant hero’s early glory where he first poured out bis blood in his country’s cause. We speak of it as the opening for the campaign for the Presiden- cy, because it has fairly started that flood- tide of enthusiasm which is to go on in- creasing in volume and force until if bas borne the chosen of the people to the high position of official honor commensurate with the high place he already holds in the regards of his countrymen. We observe that the Washington Union is alarmed at the grand demonstration just signalized at Lundy’s Lane ; and for want fect of that great gathering, it undertakes to dispute the title of Gen. Scott to be re- garded as the hero of the memorable bat- tle fought on that spot. This mode of disparagement argues a degree of desper- ation which foretokens the anticipated loss of a declining cause. We do not care to go into any exposition of the fact which the Union denies—since the records of his- tory and the hearts of the people can bear sufficient testimony to the achievements of Gen. Scott on that occasion. It was the inauguration of his glory ; and whatever share of the honors of that victory may be due to others—and there were honors enough acquired to confer fame upon eve- ry ove who then and there so nobly sus— tained the American name-the part which Gen. Scott had in the conflict is too well known to admit of any controversy as to the pre-eminent distinction won by him on that bloody field. But the grand celebration at Lundy’s Lane is but the begining of a series of great gatherings of the people in im- mense masses; and if such meetings are made the occasion of military reviews and the perfect disc:pline of our volunteer sol- diery, tbe interest of such scenes will be much enhanced. Nodoubt we shall hear a great deal from adverse journals in rep- robation of the military feeling—a great deal inthe way of denunciation against military chieftains, because of the enthu- siasm which must be excited in favor of Gen. Scott by these reviews, encampments and mass meetings, and because of the want of military prtestizge on the part of Gen. Pierce. Still the movements will go on—the masses will meet, and the hero who has exalted the glory of the Ameri- can flag in the hard fought battles of the Canadian frontier, during the last war perilous fields of Mexico, will become more and more endeared to the American people. No one can tell bow soon the country may be called upon again to have recourse to the military prowess of ber gallant soldiers for the vindication of her iach, with the’ i | lowing order ; + nee ae the Governor’s vote, from about 30 Coun- ties; in which Reid's clear gain was 804. The Whigs have gained 12 members to the Legislature, and the Democrats 5. From present appearances, it is likely that the Whigs will have a majority on joint bal- lot. thereby securing a Whig United States Senator. ROWAN. ke} sENATE.

As Internal Improvement is in every man’s mouth, and the great topic of the day, I will ask what is the meaning of those words ; some will say they mean the building of Rail Roads, Plank Roads, Navigating Riverg,Cutting Ca. nals, &c. But I think they thean improve. ments of every kind made within a country.— If such is the case, I think we should have In. ternal Improvement written in legible charac. ters over every man’s door in our State, and especially the Western part. ‘This is said to be the age of improvement; we)l, I suppose it is every where else than right here among us, Ido not think it has got here yet. We hear of it all around, North, South, East and West, but it is not here, it is with us, but not of us. It is true we talk about building a Rail Road through our country and a few Piank Roads, but what of that, it is hardly a beginning to what we should do in North Carolina to make it what it ought to be. Suppose every farmer would ditch and clear up all the bottom laod he has, how long would it be before we would have thousands of acres that are now sending forth their poisonous gases which are scattering disease and death over our country, would then be diffusing health, life, and prosperity among us. Let us quit clearing our up—land, keep them for timber ; whenever we want fire wood, rail timber, shingle timber, &c., go to the bot- tom, and in a tew years we will have them cleared and ready for cultivation, either in grass or grain crops, and when our roads are com. pleted we can get from ten to twenty dollars per load for hay instead of three, four and five, as we do now—and if the Rail Road was ne- ver built we could improve our up—land with the hay cut from the low lands. 1 believe it is a universal opinion that if we do not improve and take care of our old lands more than ever has been done heretofore, that they will not take care of and improve us much longer.— Well, let us enrich our soil; abandon the skin- ning system—sub-soil our lands—observe ro- tation of crops—take care of and improve our stock, by good shelter, liberal feeding, and a judicious system of crossing. Let us build Fac- tories where we have the water power—make roads of every kind—open rivers—build school. houses and colleges, and lastly, educate our children, and I have no hesitancy in saying that we will have as good a country as any part of the world, and when we visit other States we will not be ashamed to say where we are from, but take a pleasure in bailing from the old North State. A FARMER. Rowan county. BIOGRAPHY OF GEN. PIERCE. The most terse and authentic biogra- phy of the swooning soldier we have yet are anxious to show our Whig friends what a formidable rival they have to encounter in the coming contest, and therefore trans- fer itto our columns: Frank Pierce is the son of a General and brother to a Colonel, and was born at Concord N. H. in 1798. In 1812 his brother Benjamin Pierce joined the armies of his country. Yet at this time Frank Pierce had not passed the early age of 14 years! Shortly afterwards his sister married a General. . In December 1827, be spelled “but. Shortly afterwards another sister mar- ried another General ! In 1828 began his career as a statesman. Concord. In December 1833, went to Congress. In January, 1837, voted against the Right of Petition. In February, 1837, voted against appro- priations for improvement of Rivers, Har- bors and Roads. In March, 1842, came back again. In 1842, gave a boy, ‘who was an entire stranger to him, a cent to buy a stick of candy.

June 6th, 1852, so was everybody else ! Freon the Coleman (Ga) Enquirer. BISHOP SOULE. This venerable servant of the Most High has, we learn from the extract be- low, determined to pay an official visit to the churches of California. It is a jour- ney we sincerely’ fear beyond his age and strength to accomplish. After his long and laborious life, now near its glorious close, we would gladly see him when that hour comes, as soon it mast, lie down in peace in the bosom of his family and his friends. Endeared to the whole religious connection of which he is the lead, he is doubly endeared to the Southern Metho- dist and the Southern people by his.course, on that memorable occasion, when the religious fanaticism of the North led to a separation of the church. We loved bim before for the purity of his religious life, for his long and faithful services in the cause of christianity, and for untiring zeal which neither age nor affliction could a- bate ; but since the occasion alluded to, we have regarded him as the great chris- tian patriot, anxious alike for the welfare of the country he loves and the cause in which he is engaged, lifting himself above the puny profligacy of sectional agitation, and standing like a monument on the hill of Zion, beneath whose shade big shall perish, and around whose summit eternity may play. Gladly then, when his course of light on earth is finished, would we know that the pillow on which his dying head is laid, was softened by the hand of the kindest affection. Bat with him this can be of little consequence. It is trae that he will sleep as sweet and rise as surely from the bosom of the mighty deep, should he die on his long voyage, as he would if inurned in the bosom of some monumental cemetery on earth. As the convictions of duty bid him go, we feel that the hopes and prayers of the christian world will be with him to cheer and strengthen him on his errand of mercy.— Hear what he says: “Some of my friends have raised ob- jections to my proposed visit in considera- tion of my advanced age, the great dis- coasts,the casualties and dangers frequent- ly attending a long sea voyage, and the liability to death and burial at sea, far from home and friends. these objections. They are light in the balance. | have been in perils both on the sea and on the land, but God has been my shield, and affected deliverance under cir- cumstances which seemed to be beyond the efforts of human agency. That great and good man of God, Dr. Coke, sleéps as safely in the bosom of the deep, as his venerable colleague, Asbury, in a sepul- chre of earth; and both rest in sure and certian hope of an equally glorious.resur- rection, when the ‘earth and the sea shall give up the dead that are in them.’ And whether | shall sleep in the elementary habiliments of the one or the other, is a circumstance of no importance. If I may but sleep in Christ, no matter when, no matter where.” Japanese Funeral.—A_ letter from an officer on board the United States ship | St. Mary’s at Byron’s Bay, Wwhye, men- | tions the death on board the ship, an old | man who was the captain of a number of Japanese, who it seems, were on board | the ship. They carried him on shore for | burial by two boat’s crews, and a collec- tion of Kanakas, to the’ number of two bundred. attended the burial. The letter remarks: “Perhaps you would like to know the died they placed a pot of water and a pan of rice at his head ; the rice was to keep him from being hungry, and the water he could drink on his way to the land of bliss. We got a square box made for him, in- stead of a coffin. They placed himin a | sitting position in the box, and packed his clothes and part of bis bedding all around him. After placing him in the grave, ev- ery one of the Japanese sprinkled three drops of fresh water on him, and then laid a hat on top of the box. We filled up the grave, and they laid a pan of rice and a spoon on the grave, which they have had a head-board made for him, and are going ashore to-day to put it over bim.” Sucked In.—We learn from the Louisville Union that an abolitionist and negro stealer, who was attempting !o run off some slaves from Woodford County, was caught at Frankfort on Saturday night. He bad started with twenty, but all except two soon left him, returned home and informed their master, He was immedi. ately pursued, and was caught, together with the two negroes w negro house in Frankfort. ken back to Versailles, and after the next Court They were all ta- + : ‘ 1948 = Pom a .

A SPIRITUAL KNOCKING.—A SOUR CROUT SCENE IN A CELLAR, BY JACK HUMPHRIES. Pennsylvania farmers, Germans mostly, Lave an inalienable Jove for sour crout ; indeed, it is in vogue with most Pennsylvanians and New Yorkers. We confess to a slight regard for the edible ourself. Like codfish, sour crout is rath- er odoriferous than otherwise, but to “ well- regulated appetites,” strong and wholesome diet. It is a part of every fali’s domestic arrange. ments in the interior of the Keystone State, to lay in cabbage, and some particular night have a jolly time cutting upand packing down the sour crout. Quite a party of old and young assem— ble, and the liveliest kind of a time comes off in the spacious kitchen and cellar of ‘our house at home ” ‘Those that have ever witnessed one of these sour crout ‘bees,’ can well realize the material of our rather humorous story, while al— most anybody can have a hearty Jaugh at the fun of the thing. Daddy Eckstein, a fat, jolly, old, retired tav. ern keeper, near Harrisburg, Pa., one fall, laid in a large stock of prime cabbage, and in due course of time, called in his friends and neigh. bors to manufacture said cabbage into first class krout. Never was there, probably, a more jo- cund and hearty assemblage of youngsters and old ’uns beneath the time honored roof of Dad. dy Eckstein. Mammy Eckstein was an old lady of goodly dimensions, got up on the regu- lar Dutch style of human architecture—square, fore and afi, ‘two single women rolled into one!’ Things had worked along towards 10 P. M.; the biggest footed maiden hud gone through “ a part of the performance of tramping down (sans stockings, with a reef in skirts) the cut cabbage in the barrels. The old ’uns bad lit their pipes, the fiddle was ‘ screwed up,” things set back, candles trimmed and knick-knacks ordered up by the * heads” of the establishment. “ Molly, you and Fritz go down and fotch up de cider, and some dat goot ole beer,” said Daddy Eckstein to his vrow; and down the cellar-way started mammy, preceded by a fat- faced Dutch gal, with sundry mugs and pitch ers. The cellar was deep and dark} the gal got down before the old woman, and was just about to relieve herself of the pitchers and mugs setting them upon a bench, when she let go all, and gave vent to her lungs by a— “ Ugh-b-b-h! Mine Got-t-t! run here.e.e!” Mammy did not fail to clinch the gal, and she in her endeavor to get up, and mammy’s heft losing its equilibrium, giving @ pitch down. wards—the old man and bis “ goodie compe. nie,” above, arrived at the head of toe stairs just in time to see mammy and the gal going down lickety split, only stopping at the foot of the broad cellar steps—kersouse ! The gal screamed lustily, the old lady was so shook about, contused and confused, that a very sonorous grunt was the utmost she could do. “ Go town, go town!” cried Daddy. #*Run town!” shouted another Dutch daddy. “Help ’em up!” cried a third. * Mine Gott! go'town |” “ Go town-n-n-n |” . “ Well, vy der teufel don’t you go mit some- body?” bawled Daddy, as one alter anotber the company took turns in advising “ somebody to go.” “ Bosh!” says the old man, “ you pack of cowards, I go meself!” and crowding through he took a light and made a step dowawards.— The gal bad got loose from the old lady, and was coming up with a surge that stariled the old man, who losing his presence of mind, and foothold also, slid, heels foremost, bitting the Dutch gal about midships, and giving her enough leeward to precipitate ber all standing, back wards down again, carrying away the old lady, who had ju8t began to ™ bout ship and tack up stairs! s* Ss . ~» ownnmen- £29 Ae . ~ 4 a ‘ . > AY acini —- Se llers, and old folks, up etairs were ange ag observers of these acrobating tableaur, they yelled—some ran—others rushed—not (o the rescue of those in the cellar but to make their morta! escapes from the house crying out— * Devil in der cellar !” * Teulel’s got ’em. Teufel’s got em!” “Ob! mine Got! Daddy ish kilt!” * Thunder and blitzen I” roared out one old fellow, “ dish ish too tam pad for let mine old {rents Eckstein be kilt mit cellars, and dese tam cowards run away; I go down by thunder and blixen!” and to carry out his patriotic inten. tions, old Peter Bromwig seized a candle and his stick and made a dash for the cellar, flank. ed by his old woman, begging him for Got’s sake not to go to der teufel mit de rest in der cellar. But Peter’s blood was up—he went forward —the cries of Daddy Eckstein and gal were awful. The old lady appeared to have her quietus, the gal cried out that the teufel was at them, tooth and nail, while old Daddy roared worse than a Louisiana bull in a tornado. “He’s got us! He’s got us!” *Who’s got you, Daddy?’ cried Peter, at the head of the stairs—backed up by his wife, two shaking crout eaters, and some six or eight double. fisted gals. ‘Oh.b-h, der teufel, der tu——oh !—ah ?’— bawied the old man, as if interrupted in his course by a dire antagonist. ‘Koom down, Pe- lair! koom dow-w.w-wn; oh! wer’re gone —he's got us.’ The ga! managed to lumber up stairs with a rush. ‘The gathering, at the head of the stairs bearing the gal coming before they saw her, took it for granted that his sable majesty, being sure of those below, was now after those a— bove, and they went, with a yell and confusion better imagined than described. Not so old Peter Bromwig—he droped his light, but drew his cane, bawling— “Lt you be de teufel I’m gone, but I gives you a knock mit mine stick, ony way, and her. wang he brought it. Luckily for the Dutch gal’s skull, it was thick, and the cane hitting the top of the doorway, had some of its force miti- gaten, so Katy—the gal—instead of having her gourd cracked, was merely sent reeling down stairs again, breaking her fall upon the old Dad- dy, who, upon all fours, was crawling up @ step or two, bellowing all the time. The excitement spread—the neighbois came, in—a minister had been sent for—a doctor was wanted. Old Peter Bromwig valorously expa- tiating opon the knock he had given ‘der teufel,’ was standing firmly against the door, declar- ing that the ‘old critter’ was trying to rush up and devour all hands! The noise and confu- sion save a few groans from Daddy Eckstein, was all quieted—old Nick had finished bis work —poor daddy and mammy and the gal, were pronounced—done for. But the minister came lights were brought, the ‘book’ opened, tbe cel. lar door also, and the minister began to ez- orcise the evil spirits in a low guttral high Dutch tone, as he descended the cellar stairs, follow. ed by the stoutest hearts. Nothing of note transpired until the party bad reached the cellar when a pair of “shiny eyes” were seen, accom. panied by a pair of ugly horns and a beard, the profuse length and dimensions of which might have enchanted the most inveterate female ad. mirer of hairy beaux. It was too much for most of the ministerial escort for they wheeled about and fled, two of the most courageous seizing Mammy Eckstein and lugging her bodily up stairs; the girl came too, and made her exit in double quick time, and as she did 80, the teufel followed in the shape of a big * Billy Goat,” which had gone down the cellar in the day time afier cabbage leaves, and being shut down, and not liking the maceuvres of the crowd, had pitched into them, the gal, mammy and daddy in particular, raising the devil in good earnest, and quite broke up the sour crout party. SELLING CHICKENS TO THE LEGISLATURE. While the Legislature of Missouri was session, a few years ago, a green fellow in from the country came to Jefferson to sell some chickens. He had about two dozen, all of which he had tied by the legs to a string, and this being divided equally, and thrown across his horse or shoulder, formed his mode of conveyance, leaving the fowls with their heads hanging down, with little else of them visible than their naked legs, and a promiscuous pile of out- stretched wings and roffled feathers. Af- ter several ineffectual efforts to dispose of his load, a wag, to whom he made an offer of sale, told him that he did not want chickens himself, but that perbaps he could sell them at that large stone house over there, (the Capitol,) that there wasa man over there buying, on speculation, for the St. Louis market, and no doubt he could find a ready sale. The d-Jighted countryman started when his informer stopped him. “Look here,” says he, “when you get over there, go up stairs and then turn to the left, The man stops in that large room. You will find him sitting at the other end of the room, and is now en- gaged with a number of fellows buying chickens himself for sale, and tries to pre- vent other people from selling theirs.— Don’t mind him—~but go right ahead.” Following the directions, our friend soon found himself at the door of the Hall of Representatives. To open it and en- ter was the work of a moment. Taking from bis shoulder the string of chickens, and giving them a shake, to fresh them, he commenced his journey towards the aker’s chair. the fowls, in the mean- time, loudly expressing from the half form- ed erow to the harsh quark, their sense of bodily pain. “I say, sir,"——here he bad advanced about half down the aisle, when be was seized by Major Jackson, the doorkeeper, “ What the devil are you doing here with those chickens ; get out sir; get out,” whispered the doorkeeper. “No you don’t, though, you can’t come that game over me, you've got chickens yourself for sale, get out yourself and let me sell mine. | say, sir,” (in a looder'tone to the Speaker) “are you buying chickens roe to-day? I've got some prime ones ere.” And he held up bis string and shook bis fowls until their music made the walls echo. “Let me go, sir,” (to the doorkeeper) let me go, I say. Fine large chickens— to the Speaker—only six bits a dozen.” “ Where’s the Sergeant at arms,” roar- ed the Speaker, “take that man out. “Now don’t, will you,! aint hard to trade with. You let me go—to the door- keeper—you’ve sold your chickens, now let me have a chance. | say, sir—to the Speaker in a louder tone—are you buying chickens to——” “Go ahead,” “at him agin,” “that’s right,” whispered some of the opposite members, who could command gravity enough to speak, “at him again.” “ He'll bay them.” “He only wants you to take less—at him again.” “I say, sir—in a louder tone to the Speaker—cuss your picturs, let me go— fair play—two at one ain’t fair—to the Speaker and Sergeant at arms—let me go: I say, sir, you up there—to the Speak- er—you can have ’em for six bits! won't take a cent less. Take ‘em home and eat ‘em myself before I'll take——Drat your hides, don’t shove so hard, will you! you'll hart them chickens, and they have had a travel of it to-day,any how. I say, you, sir, up there” Here the voice was lost by the closing of the door. An adjournment was mov- ed and carried, and the members, almost frantic with mirth, rashed out to find our friend in high altercation with the door- keeper about the meanness of selling his own chickens, and letting nobody else sell theirs, adding that “if he could just see that man up there by himself he'd be bound they could make a trade, and that no man could afford to raise chickens for less than six bits.” The members bought his fowls by a pony parse, and our friend left the Cap- itol, saying as he went down the stairs, “ Well, this is the darndest roughest place for selling chickens that ever I came across sure.”—Spirit of the Times. THE CALF’S TAIL AND THE AU- GER HOLE. The North Carolina Argus tells the following capital story, for which it is in- debted to the stump speech of a Virginia member of Congress. We have fead noth- ing that has called our cachinatory mus- cles more violently into play for a long time: “The proprietor of a tan yard adjacent to acertain town in Virginia, concluded to build a stand, or a store on one of the main streets, for the purpose of vending his leather, buying raw: bides and the like. After completing his building he began to consider what sort of a sign it was best to put up for the purpose of attracting atten- tion to his new establishment; and for days and weeks he was sorely puzzled on this subject. Several devices were adopt- ed, and on further consideration rejected. At last a happy idea strack him. He bor- ed an auger-hole through the door-post, and stuck a calf’s tail in it, with the bushy end flaunting out. After a while he no- ticed a grave looking personage standing near the door with his spectacles gazing intently on the sign. And there he contin- ued to stand gazing, and gazing, until the curiosity of the farmer was greatly excit- ed inturn. He stepped out and address- ed the individual : “Good morning,” said he. “Morning,” said the other without mov- ing his eyes from the sign. ; “You want to buy leather?” said the storekeeper. “No.” “Do you wish to sell hides?” “No,” “Aro you a farmer ?” “No.” “Are you a merchant?!” “No.” “Are you a lawyer!” “No.” “Are you a doctor ?” “No.” “What are you then? ; “I'ma philosopher. I’ve been standing here for an hour, trying to see if I could as- certain how that calf got through the au- ger-hole, and.I can’t make out to save my life.” ‘| say landlord,’ said a man in a coun- try village toa tavero keeper: * how ma- ny liquors cap I get for two long bits ‘ Five,’ said mine host. ‘ Well, fork ’em over. Come up my boys and drink.’ The liquor completed, he pulled out two old worn ont bridle bits, which were long enough in all conscience, Jt is needless to say how savage the landlord looked, when his customer walked coolly out a- midst the shouts of the crowd.

THE ANSWER. Ste: I perused your oration with much delib. eration, anda little consternation, at the great infatuation of your weak imagination, to show such veneration on so slight a foundation. I suppose your animation was the [ruit of reere.- ation, or had sprung from ostentation to display your education by an odd enumeration, or rather multiplication of words of the same termination though of great variation in respective signifi- cation, ow, without disputation, your labo- rious application, to so tedious an occupation, deserves commendation, and thinking imitatirn sufficient gratification, I am without hesitation, Yours, Mary MoperaTIon. ‘Mother,’ said a little fellow the other day, ‘is there any harm in breaking egg- shells?” ‘Certainly not, my dear; bat why do you ask? “Cause I dropped the basket just now, and see what a mess | amin with the yelk !” Jim was employed to cut wood by the day. the boss came along and found Jim lifting the axe as leisarely as flat boats go up the. Mississippi, accompanying every blow with a grunt. “ Slow work, Jim, slow work.” “ Boss, the Bible says we must use mod- eration in all things.” The boss was non plussed. At dinner, Jim plied his knife and fork with remar- kable industry. The boss reminded him of bis morning text, but Jim was ready. “I’ve been reading the Scriptures since, boss, that whatever thy hands find able to do, that do with all thy might.” Boss told Jim he was entirely too learn- ed to chop wood, and therefore very po- litely requested him to take up his bed and walk. Tough but Tolerable—A shrewd Yan- kee, travelling in the South on a voyage of adventure, came to the habitation of a widow lady, well todo in the world, who had an only daughter. After tarrying a few days, the Yankee and the matron be- came mortally pleased with each other, and the latter remarked to him that if he liked her daughter well enough to marry her, he might stop and become the mana- ger of herestate. The bargain was closed, and the nuptials were consummated ; but the Yankee was more surprised than de- lighted about three months after the wed- ding, to be presented with an heir, whose complexion and hair indicated a paternity not purely Caucassian. The husband started for Nashville, and laid the case before a lawyer. “IT can obtain a divorce for you,” said the lawyer, “upon proof of the facts stated without delay.” “A divorce !” said the Yankee. “ who said any thing about a divorce? What | wanted to know was, who owns the nigger? That’s what I look at.” “Oh, dear! Mr. Ferguson, you surely jest when you say my babe is the hand- somest child youeversaw. You must be soft-soaping it.” “ Well madam,” replied Mr. Furguson, “It may possibly be so, for I now recollect I] thought it very much needed soap of some kind” Mr. Ferguson was seen immediately af- ter, making a hasty exit, pursued by an enraged broomstick. A Case of Conscience.—In a certain “ Ladies Moral Reform Society,” existing not many miles from the banks of a cer- tain river, the members were required to sign a pledge not to “set up,” as it is termed, or do anything else that might be supposed to have a tendency, however re- mote, toimmorality. One evening, as the President was calling over the names, to know. whether each member had kept her obligation, a beautiful and highly respec- table young lady barst into tears, and on being questioned as to the cause, said she feared she had broken the pledge. “Why, what have you done?” asked the President. “ Oh !” sobbed the young lady, “ Dr.—— kissed me the other night, when he wait- ed on me from meeting.” “Oh, well that is nothing very bad,” said the President; his kissing ddes not make it that you have broken the pledge. “Oh, that isn’t the worst of it,” exclaim- ed the consciencious young lady, “ J kiss- ed him back again !” An important discovery bas been made in London =F Mr. Roberts, in the use of tia for zine plates, by which a great saving of expense ig effected in the arts, the large quantities of nitric acid, zinc, plasinum, &c., to produce elec- tsicity, being superseded. count of the murder of Col.

An Ugly Oath.—In the eastern part of Dele- ware county, in this State, there resides a man named B , now a justice of the peace, and a very seneible man, but, by common consent, the ugliest looking individual ia the wholé coun- try, being long, gaunt, sallow, and awry, with gait like a kangaroo. One day he was outa hunting and on one of the mountain roads he met a man on foot and alone, gaunter, uglier, by all odds, than himself. He could give the ‘square’ ‘fifiy,’ and beat him. Without saying a word B—— raised his gun and deliberatel leveled it at the stranger. ‘For God’s a se don’t shoot!’ shouted the man, in great alarm.— ‘Stranger,’ replied B—— ‘I swore ten years ago that if I ever met a man aglier than loan I’d shoot him ; you are the furst one I’ve seen,’ The stranger, after a careful survey of his *rival’ replied, *Wa!, captain if I look any woree than you do, shute! I don’t wantto live any longer. — Exchange paper. “ FINALITY.” The New York Evening » the Demo. . cratic abolition organ, boasts that there is not: a word about the “ finality” of the compromise in the Democratic platform. It regards Gen. Scott as the peculiar champion of the. “ Baali- ty” principle. We quote its language : “If General Scott and his friends has €on- tinued to stand where they stood when. wa wrote, and if he had not accepted a nomina- tion on a finality platform, there is no doubt that any of the prominent candidates before the: Democratic Convention would have been de- feated by him. But he is now presented as the express champion of “ finality ;” of which there is not a word in the Democratic platform: The very sentiment which would have given Scott strength, if he had adhered to the ( ples of the. party which presented him, will now, and ought to enure tothe benefit of Pierce, whose abstract notions of slavery are quite as liberal and just as any ever professed by Gen, Scott, and whose general notions of govern. ment command our unqualified admiration.” The Atlanta Intelligencer says, the report ot Pierce’s speech made in January last,at New Boston, New Hampshire, which is now being extensively republished, is an ‘abolition ca- lumny, manufactured expressly for the South. ern market.” If this be true, the reporters who prepared that report early in January last, pos. sess the art of divination in a degree which will certainly secure for them immortality. For its truth can only be reconciled upon the sup- position that they, in January last, knew Gen, eral Franklin Pierce would be nominated { the Presideney! ‘This we imagine no man in the United States, in the wildest freaks of his lancy, will be disposed to regard a supposable case.— Augusta (Ga.) Chronicle, (anti-Scott.) OHIO FOR SCOTT. One of our Delegates to the State Conven. tion, who went to Columbus doubting, returns with a thorough conviction that the electoral votes of Ohio will be secured for Scott and Graham. He eays, “allowing a large per centage for desires and prejudices, and t- ing one-fifth frum what he knows of the facts, Scott will carry Obio by a decided majority.” The Locofocos themselves, everywhere out of the Statesman office, admit this—and don’t care if it be so. ‘They have no evidence that Pierce is either a statesman or a soldier, and cannot muster any enthusiasm for a third-rate lawyer whom a set of political gamblers have foisted into a Presidential candidacy, with a view to their own advancement, should - he chance to be elected. —Sciota Gaz. Correspondence of the N. Y. Tribune. WESTERN PENNSYLVANIA. Iyp1ana, Penn., July 26, 1852.: Nowhere has the nomination of Gen.

His illustrious character and heroic services have taken hold on the popular heart, and I only express the conviction of every intelligent man in this section of the State when I assure you that Pennsylvania will cast her electoral vote for the Hero of Lundy’s Lane by more than ten thousand majority.

Grand Lodge of Free and Accepted Ma- sons of the State of New York held on Tuesday evening, the 8th of June, at the Masonic Temple, the R. W. Joseph D. Evans, Depaty Grand Master, offered the following remarks: My Brerurex ;—We have met in sad- ness! The principal object of this call for a special meeting of the Grand Lodge of the State of New York, is to consider, what coarse we ought to pursue in giving honor tothe memory of our late illustrious brother, the Honorable, the Most Wor- sbipful Henry Clay ; one of the most dis- tinguished men and finished Orators, the world ever knew. We are called upon to mourn the loss of a great man, a finish- ed gentleman, a beloved Brother. We but sympathize with the whole world.— The magnitude and efficiency of his intel- lectual powers were not confined to the narrow limits of the Western Hemisphere; far, far over seas and over land, extend- ing to every clime, penetrating every country, city, town and bamlet, the power of bis mighty intellect, and the benevo- lence of his magnanimous heart, will leave their influence, so long as there is a responsive heart to beat a consonant note, for national freedom and universal love Asa Statesman he has a place upon one of the bighest pinnacles of “ Free- dom's Temple.”, His nobleness of charac- ter, has been the admiration of every man, His boldness in the cause he deemed just and right, amazed and astonished, and gave efliciency to efforts. As an Orator he was surpassed by none. Upon whatever Rostrum he was placed, whether in the Senate Chamber, at the Bar. or before the people, be held all who heard him spell-bound by the rich intona- tions of his voice, his graceful attitude, his illuminated countenance, and above all his perfect rhetoric ; no figure out of place, no imaginative thought but defined its aptitude, without an explanation. Never while indulging in those lofty flights of in- tellectual inspiration, did he collapse his wings and fall fluttering to the level of a common mind. Always maintaining his position, he soared even higher and played with “ fancy’s gems,” and “stooped to touch the loftiest thought.” As a Mason he stood among us a high and honorable Brother,—a Mason good and true! No one among us could pos- sess his heart and be otherwise. It is in this capacity he has so entwined himself around the Mason's heart. As a man and a Statesman be commands our admira- tion, Asa Philanthropist and Mason be ensures our veneration and love. Ini- tiated into the Orderat twenty-two years of age, he continued an active and zeal- ous Mason, and was elevated to the high position of Grand Mason over the Ancient Free and Accepted Masons of Kentucky. Since then he has given frequent instan- ces of his firm attachment to the Instita- tion. He was not only an Honorary mem- ber of one of the Lodges under this juris- diction, but there are membersof the Craft now present who have in their possession evidence of his fondness for Masonry. It is but a few years since, while on a visit to the City, he expressed a wish to see the Bible, on which the Great Wash- ington took the oath of office as President of the United States ; that wish was grati- fied under due and appropriate ceremo- nies. Although these manifestations of his veneration for the Order may be brought down to a very recent date, yet it could not be expected in the nature of things, that he would continue to be what we term anactive member of a Lodge. The multiplicity of his other engagements both public and private, which must necessa- rily have been heavy, forbade it. We were nevertheless bound to him and he to us, by the Mystic tie, and shall ever re- vere and cherish his name as one of the brightest ornaments of our Order, while there isa link of that chain remaining, which binds the Brotherhood together with a sincere affection. And then too, he was an old man. This annunciation is startling—Henry Clay old!—could we realize the fact! the silver cord was loose- ning, yet we saw no wavering of mind, no declension of intellectual vigor, but elastic, clear and firm to the last, the God- like spirit struggled to sustain the frail, erumbling tenement which enclosed it.— It is true he was beyond us in years, yet he seemed to grow with our growth, and to feel as we felt, so that we could not per- ceive that his majestic frame gave evi- dence of declining years. Then, in speak- ing of him, we would call him Henry Clay, Harry of the West, Mill Boy. These fa- milliar expressions indicate a companion. ship which brings others upon a level with ourselves,and are used towards those who are younger, or of our own age; con- sequently we schooled ourselves to look upon him as one of us. Alas! it is true he was, physically, an old man; he was born in the midst of our Revolutionary Struggle, rocked in itscradle, and nurtur- ed into manhood by the Goddess of Liber- ty. He was a brilliant link which bound the present generation to the birth of our National Independence. He has gone! The crambling tenement has fallen a ru- in,—the sprit is released. The voice which aroused a nation is hushed in death. His manly form lies mouldering in the silent tomb, but the soul, the immortal soul, has taken its everlasting flight, and returned to the God who gave it, there to possess its beatific enjoyments. We have bat his memory left. Jt shall flourish as the green bay tree—free and perennial—its home, Union. ture. {t should be on Thursday the heart of every true Mason.— Masonic A mistake occurred in the published advertisement of C. P. Mendenball, Sec’ry of the N.C. Railroad. The time of the meeting of the Directors js stated to be Tuesday before the meeting of the Legis- the 30th THE BRITISH CANDIDATE. The London Times, in & late article on the subject of the nominations of the two parties in this country, expresses its satis- faction at the selection by the Democrats, of such a decided free trade candidate as Gen. Pierce, and says: “He has our best wishes for his success.” aking of Pierce’s opinions on the tariff, it remarks, “Upon this point we take Gen. Pierce to be a fair representative of the opinions of Mr. Calhoun, and as such a valuable prac- tical ally to the commercial policy of this country.” Thus, the Whigs will not only have American Democrats to fight in the — campaign, but must meet the nglish Aristocrat, who, with all his wealth and power, who is to be arrayed against Gen. Scott. If the suggestion and hints of the Times newspaper are re- garded by those whose peculiar interests it represents, British Gold will be introduc- ed into this canvass, and an attempt made to control, by its influence the sufferages of American freemen! Bat we do not fear the result. The people of this coun- try are not such a set of machines as im- padent Englishmen and the still more im- pudent leaders of British Democracy in America pretend to believe. They will answer at the ,ballot box in November with an indignant No! the question pro- pounded to them: “ Will you come for- ward and by your votes help to increase the wealth of British merchants and their control over the world, to the destruction of your own industrial classes and the improvement of your own country !” Old Scott has met and overthrown British soldiery, and he will not fail, at the pro- per time, to show the utter futility of Brit- ish Gold and British Aristocracy when di- rected against him. “An Englishman Abroad” contributes* an article to the July number of Black- wood’s Magazine, in which are some spec- ulations upon the political and general prospects ofthe United States. He men- tions the tariff as one of the questions that will enter more or less into every political combination ; and says that “the manufac- turers af America cannot exist, under com- petition with England, without a higher tariff!’ He adds that the south and west are becoming much more friendly to the principle of protection than they have been hitherto. In the face of the testimo- ny of an Englishman who has been among us, that we cannot prosper without a protective tariff, the London Times, the recognised organ of the British govern- ment, exults over the nomination of Gen. Pierce because he is believed to be an advocate of free trade—or, in other words, a policy that will encourage foreign man- ufacturers to the impoverishment of our own. The Times knows Gen. Scott would never countenance such a policy, hence its hope that Pierce may be elect- ed.— Knoxville Register. A frightful accident occurred five or six miles south of this place on Monday last. The cylinder of Mr. David Patter- son’s thrashing machine bursted while the machine was in full headway, a frag- ment of which struck Mr. Patterson’s son, Isaac, on the mouth, tearing and mang- ling his tongue, upper and lower jaw and neck in a most horrible manner. He bas ever since been eut of his senses, and no hope is entertained of his recovery. The young man was tending the ma- chine, and it was going at extraordinary speed. The cylinder, of cast iron, was about ten inches in diameter, near half an inch in thickness, and the hollow filled with pieces of iron to give it weight. It bursted with an explosion loud as artillery, scattering the fragments of iron with im- mense force in every direction. It wasa piece of the cylinder itself, weighing 8} pounds, which struck the unfortunate young man. The cause of the explosion seems not to be well understood.—Greensborough Patriot. TENNESSEE FOREVER. The Western (Tennessee) Whig Re- view says, the Democrats need no long- er lay the flattering unction to their souls, that there is to be any division in the Whig ranks in Tennesee—the Whigs are uni- ted ; there is but one heart and one voice in the Whig party, that is enthusiastical- ly for Scott and Graham—Parson Brown. ow of Representative Gentry’s efforts to the contrary notwithstanding.—Tenncssee will not be found in the rear ranks of Whig States in November; the people of that noble State think and vote for themselves. We can assure our Tennessee friends that Mississippi will be found, as she was at Monterey. right by their side ; the Whig masses of Mississippi are firmly united, and are determined that no effort on their part sball be wanting to give Scott and Grabam a real old Tippicanoe triumph in November—Senator Brooke to the contrary notwithstanding. Already one of the organs of the coalitionists in this city has hauled down the names of Pierce and King, and the other organ, al- though still bolstering up Pierce, will sink under the unendurable weight of the Com- promise platform before the ides of No- vember.—Flag of the Union. Lady Duellists in Spain.—A \ady at Madrid, a short time ago, sent a challenge to a fair ri- val, who had supplanted her in favor of a weal- thy admirer. The succeselul damse! unhesi—- tatingly agreed to fight and both parties chose seconds of their own sex. Fearing that the smell of guopowder might prove disagreeable to them, the combatants resolved to use fenc— ing swords ; they also determined to fight un- til one or the other should be killed. They went to the ground each with a pair of fencing swords, and, in case they should fail, a pair of poignards. They were just ready for action, when a pair of officers came up, and took them and tbeir seconds into custody ; but one of the men, having called to mind that the law, though forbidding duels between men, suid nothing of duels between women, expressed a doubt whe- ther they were warranted in making the arrest. day of September, 1852.—Greens. Patriot. wes exacted from them, women, but 9 pledge on their word of honof, that they would not re- new the combat. VERDICT ON THE HUDSON RIVER CALAMITY. : The Jury summoned by the Coroner at You- kers having heard all the evidence adduced in relation to the burning of the Henry Clay, have returned a verdict, which, after recapitulating the circumstances connected with the sad event, concludes as follows: That on the 28th of July the persons describ- ed as having been found dead by the corouer and the jury, at Yonkers, were passengers. on board the Henry Clay, where she took fire, run upon shore and were there consumed.— That Joho K. Simmons, one of the passengers was burot to death, and that all the other per- sons. either by reason of the shock occasioned by iLe collision of the boat with the shore were thrown overboard, or that, in order to save them- selves from being burnt, cast themselves into the water, and then and there were drowned and suffocated, of which drowning and suffoca- tion they died. That on that day, about seven o’clock in the morning, the Henry Clay left Albany, on the Hudson river. That Jobo F. Tallman was a captain and one of the owners. That Thomas Collyer was also an owner, and that James L. Jessup was clerk. That Ed- ward Hubbard was pilot, and James Elmen— dorf was assistant pilot. That John Germaine was engineer. That Charles Merritt was as— sistant engineer ; and that a certain young man, whose name is unknown to the jury, but who was employed to attend the bar on said steam. boat, and that they were all on board, and had each of them part command of the steamer Henry Clay ; and that alter leaving Albany on that day, and while the steamer was navigating the Hudson river, and while engaged in con— veying passengers, the parties, for the purpose of excelling in speed another Steamboat called the Armenia, or for the purpose of increasing the speed of the said steamer Henry Clay, did create or allow to be created an undue quanti- ty of steam, and in so doing did make or allow to be made excessive fires, anc did not use ordi- nary prudence in the management of said fires ; and, in consequence thereof and through their culpable negligence and criminal recklessness, the Henry Clay did, at about fifteen minutes past three P. M., take fire, and was the cause of the death of the following persons : [Here follows a recapitulation of the recog. nised and unrecognised bodies found at Yon. kers. } And eo the jurors say that the deaths of all the said persons, and each of them, was the result of an act perpetrated by the said John F. Tallman, Thomas Collyer, James L. Jes- sup, James Elmendorf, Edward Hubbard, Jobn Germaine, Charles Merritt, and the said bar- keeper, which act was eminently dangerous to others and evinced a depraved mind regardless of human life, although it was perpetrated with- out any premeditated design to effect the death of any particular individual. All the officers of the Henry Clay against whom warrants were issued by the U. States District Attorney have been arrested, except Capt. Tallman, who is confined to his bed by illness. The bail required in each case is ten thousand dollars. TAKE COURAGE, WHIGS. In the political battle which has just been fought, the Whigs have partially regained the ground taken from them by the opposing party two years ago; and though the victory is not complete, yet this partial success should inspire them with courage for the great struggle in No. vember. As much as we shall regret the de. feat of Mr. Kerr, if it shall so turn out, yet we regard it as much more important victory to have carried the Legislature. And this, it ap- pears from the imperfect returns received, the Whigs have done. Take courage, then, Whigs, and as soon as the smoke of the lute battle has passed away, engage with redoubled zeal in the presidential contest. With Scott ard Gra- bam for our leaders, who, with their high char. acter and eminent services, have the surest el- ements of popularity, we may expect to arouse a feeling of enthusiasm quite equal to that of 1840 ; and as we shall not have Free Suffrage to flank us in that contest, we may with great confidence anticipate a victory in North Caro- lina like that of °40. The Whig candidate tor Elector in this district, H. K. Nash, esq., we are pleased to say, will enter upon his duties in a short time, and we hope the assistant Elec- tors in the different counties will also open the canvass immediately with becoming zeal and energy. The People, too, of the District should second the efforts of their chosen stan- dard bearers, and call meetings in different counties, at which they should endeaver to se- cure a full turnout. But three months remain, in which the work must be accomplished. Let every District, every County, be thoroughly canvassed, and the people fully informed in re- gard to the candidates presented for their suf. frages, and the Whigs will have no ‘reason to fear the result.— Hillsboro’ Recorder. THe Late apit. Gen. Jones commenced his military career January 26, 1809, as a Lieutenant of Marines, which commission he held at the outbreak of the war of 1812 with Great Britain, when he was appointed a Cap. tain of Artillery in the army. His zeal and activity in the arduous campaigns of 1813 and 1814 on the Niagara frontier, and his distin. guished gallantry as Major of the Staff in the memorable conflicts ot Chippewa, Lundy’s Lane, and the sorte of Fort Erie, won tor him the universal respect and admiration of his brother officers, and the marked approbation of the Government. He was raised in 1825 to the confidential post of Adjutant General, held by him at his decease.” The Death of Mr. Rantoul.—The National Intelligencer, in recording the death of the Hon. Rober: Rantoul, jr., says : “ Mr. Rantoul was in his seat in the House on Tuesday last, the 3d instant. At that time he appeared to be in usual health, with the exception of what he considerd to be a small bile upon bis forehead. On Wednesday morn. ing the little sore was surrounded by erysipela. tous inflammation, in consequence of which he was prevailed upon to remain in his room and procure medical advice. Thursday the disease seemed to be entirely arrested, and on Frida = y morning he felt very much better, and coofidently of returning in a day or two to his duties in the House.

Mr. Webster called to see John Adams on one of the loveliest days in June, (Mr. Adams died on the next 4th of July,) and found bim in a more cheerful mood than usual. He congrat- ulated him upon his apparently improved health, and predicted for him years of comfort. ‘ You are mistaken, Mr. Webster,” said the sage.— My days upon earth are few and numbered. I am the tenant of a miserable, worn-out old mansion ; and, what is worse than all, the land- lord refuses to make any more repairs.” Gas Lights in the Country.—The modern fashion of lighting houses by gas has hitherto been regarded as one of the peculiar luxuries of city life, which those inhabiting the more secluded portions of the country could not en- joy; but, among the many other ingenious con- trivances of this active age, an invention has recently been made which seems to overcome entirely all former objections in this regard, and not only promises to supersede ali other kinds of light, where a large quantity is required, but greatly to diminish the cost by enabling every housekeeper and factory manager to make his own gas. , We had the pleasure on Thursday evening of witnessing the operation of an apparatus of this kind at the house of Mr. W. C. Dusenbury, who resides in Orange, and introduced it in his dwelling for the purpose of testing its capaci- ties. It is beautifully simple and compact, oc- cupying but a few square feet of space, and it is said to require no more spill for its manage- ment than a common coal ‘fire. It consists of a small can or reservoir containing a coarse kind of resin oil, a small stove, and a gasome- ter. The oil passes through a pipe and drips upon a metallic plate placed over the coals in the small cylindrical stove, it there flashes into gas, which immediately rises through a depo- site of limestone placed over the plate, and thence it passes, purified, through another pipe to the gas-holder—a sheet-iron drum. rising and falling ina tank of water, as it is filled or exhausted. From this gasometer it passes through the pipes, like all other gas, to the burners. ‘The apparatus may be separate, and the evaporating part, we are assured, may be inserted in a kitchen range, or any other con- trivance for cooking or heating. The light is remarkably brilliant and pure, emitting no un- pleasant odor or smoke. The material used in making the gas is the first run of liquid produced in making rosin oil ; this is sold for a shilling a gallon, which is esti. mated to produce one hundred cubic feet of the gas. Mr. Dusenbury’s apparatus supplies eight burners, and he estimates the cost not to ex- ceed seven cents per night of five hours’ burn- ing. ‘The cost of such an apparatus is $150. Newark Daily Adv. An Afflicted Family.—The family of the late Protessor Kingsley, of West Puint, have been sadly and painfully bereaved. Inthe year 1834 or 1835, four lovely children died in one week, of scarlet fever; subsequently yet ano. ther died after protracted sickness ; then Pro- lessor Kingsley, in 1849, was thrown from his horse, receiving injuries from which he died ; the remaining members of the family, in 1850, were thrown from a carriage, and the youngest child, aged five years, was killed. Two daugh- ters, aged thirteen and twenty-one, were among the lost on the Henry Clay. The heart-broken mother and one son are the only survivors of this stricken household. TRIAL OF THE MURDERERS. John and Jane Williams, charged with the murder of Mrs. Winston and her infant child, were yesterday brought before the Hustings Court for trial. Jane Williams was placed at the bar, and upon being arraigned, plead guilty to the in. dictment. Court accordingly proceeded to pass sentence of death upon her. Friday, the 10th of September, was named as the day of execu- tion. The trial of John Williams was postponed until ‘Thursday, the 12th instant. He stead. fastly protests, we learn, that he is wholly in. nocent, and it is proper to say, that the wretched woman—the confessed murderess—in every statement she has made relative to the horri- ble deed, unqualifiedly exculpa:es her husband from all participation in the murder. The Court room was crowded almost to suf— focation, by eager spectators, who viewed the accused murderers with the same degree of curiosity which one might readily suppose would be bestowed upon ferocious beasts, ex. hibited to the public without charge. Jane Williams appeared cowed and “ heart-sick,” to use one of her own phrases. Her busband seemed to be awfully frightened at the fate which apparently awaits bim. Indeed,he appear to be the greater coward of the two. When sentence of death had been pronounced upon the woman, she arose and without evidencing the slightest trepidation, accompanied the jailor tothe prison, from whence she will not again emerge until the day of execution.

Perhaps you hegin to think I have forgot. ten the election in North Carolina, or have no disposition to allude to it. Truly, I feel morti- fied at the result, and if it were either profita. ble or wise, would endeavor to exclude it from my thoughts. Noram I singular in this re. spect: I have within the last few days met with many good Whigs whose countenances indi. cate the state of the polls as exictly as the ther. mometer shows the temperature of the weather. Poor fellows! we are to be pitied, and no doubt would be, if it were not for a certain flash of the eye, and compression of the lips, plainly defying the savey locofocos as they “ huzza for Reid and Free Suffrage.” Free Suffrage as you semember, was started as a humbug, and is likely to succeed beyond all ex. pectations, and even wishes, of its earliest ad- vocates. ‘The Eastern democrats voted for it in 1850 to break down the whigs of the West. It is admitted by some whom I have seen from that section, that they really do not want Free Suffrage ; and that they are afraid “the thing” will be carried too far. In other words, they have raised a storm which they are afraid they cannot control. We shall see how it goes ;— but I venture to predict it will fail, except as a humbugging hobby. ‘That is all it was intend. ed for, and ifthe Whigs in the next Legisla. ture don’t compel them to carry out the mea. sure, they will only pass over it like crows over a nest. It is really amusing to witness the shines ol the democratic press, and to read their conclu- sions in relation to the Presidential election, deduced from the results of the Jate contes:.— They claim the State for Pierce! Does it oc- cur to the reader that their pretense on this score is only part and parcel] of the humbug. ging they are in the habit of practicing on the State? If they can discourage the Whigs and exhilarate their own forces, they will have gained an important advantage. But will any permit themselves to be thus deluded, and fall in with the crowd, simply because it is in the ascendant in oneelection ? The school boy turns his face from his friend —fumbles deep and long in his pockets—ar. ranges his hands together with care; and then turning quickly around, says: “ Jack-in-the bush!” Cut him down,” is the prompt reply. ‘* How many licks,” he enquires, whilst his hands seem painfully distended with chinka. pins.— What a trick the little rascal is attempt. ing to play! If his school fellow should hap. pen to be a litile green, it is more than proba- ble he would say, “one hundred and fifty ;” when, lo! and behold his astonishment on find. ing that all that swelling, fumbling, and press. ing, was only intended to mislead him, and that the hands of his school mate really contained but one or two. The leaders of the Democracy are just like the little cheat we have described, and are con- stantly attempting some new enterprise for the plunder of the Whigs; and I am sorry to say they but too frequently succeed. Either from misplaced confidence or mullin greenness, they “come it” over us just as easy as little rogues “slip in” toa show. ‘They have commenced their manceuvres now to elect Pierce and King over Scott and Graham. Any man in bis sober senses will admit that there is no com- parison between these gentlemen as to claims upon the country, and fitness for the offices for which they are nominated. And yet unless the people open their eyes and watch for them. selves, they will be deluded into the support of Pierce and King ; and the Democratic news- papers will not only * make believe” that they are greater and better men than Scott and Gra- ham, but will lead them to believe that the lat- ter‘are rogues, liars,and cowards.” Yes, even, that Gen. Scott is a coward—a man of world renowned courage, and of undying tame. B. MASS MEETING. At a large and respectable meeting of a por- tion of the Whigs of Western North Carolina assembled together at Davidson College, (be- ing Commencement day) on the 12th instant, David Ramsay, of Iredell, was called to the Chair, and Junius M. Alexander, of Mecklen- burg, was appointed Secretary. When it was unanimously resolved to hold a Mass Meeting of the friends of Scott and Graham at States- ville, on Thursday and Friday, the 9th and 10th of September next. Whereupon, for the purpose of effecting the object of this meeting, it was Resolved, That a Committee of three from the following Counties be appointed for the purpose of procuring a full representation from said Counties, to wit: Mecklenburg—William Johnston, Andrew rings and B.

[I ay ee that they had awakened from their former only necessary to cross any large stream and there is but one summit that of the Blue Ridge between the two termi- nii of the road. Leading streams run almost in the di- rection of the line. But one tunnel is required, through the summit,and that through extremely favorable ground. The distance will certainly not be over 220 miles, from Salisbury to Newport and probably less. The only points presenting even the ordinary difficulties are at the moun- tain, say some twenty miles and the lower portion of the French Broad. I have examined carefully the whole of this route except the latter portion and speak advised- ly, when I say that none of the routes passing the Alle- ghany mountains, present a tithe of the advan that thisdoes. The route through Pennsylvania is the only one that compares with it at all favorably and there the waters of two streams offer very nearly a similar facili- ty. The argument between the routes by Rabun’s gap and the Catawba, have in every respect, except that of distance, an overpowering force in favor of the latter. From the time you leave Greenville until you strike the eastern Tennessee,a distance of 180 miles, there is a continued combat with natural difficulties, while by the Catawba but two points for short distances present even the ordinary impediments. The Rabun Gap route passes through an uncultiva- ted mountainous region presenting from its formation bat few agricultural facilities—while that by the Cataw- ba runs th t one of the richest portions of the South, already with its undeveloped resources remarka- ble for its productiveness and fully capable in itself to support the road. I have thrown these few remarks hastily together to encourage the friends of the work and cheer them on in the good cause—a survey will establish all and more of these advantages and with reliable imformation of that kind, you will be able to present to gy. of North Carolina and your neighbors of The South 80 strong a case as will insure their cordial support. This survey should be made at once, before the meeting of the Legislature—or at all events the doubtful points,— Let the friends of the work be active and pressing— that policy that strikes while the iron is hot is ale overcome by the energy that a Om iron hot by strik- ing. Be up then and doing. ey, whose exertions shall carry this work forward to completion will gain not only wealth and dignity for their State—but the crown of glory due to her benefactors. Respectfully, S. MOYLAN FOX, C. E. Wilmington, August 12, 1852. For the Watchman. Mr. Editor :—I see by the last Lynchburg Virginian, that the Legislature of Virginia at its last Session, passed an act authorizing Jus. tices of the Peace to charge for their services as follows : “ For taking and certifying the acknowledg- ment of any deed or writing, or taking and certifying privy examination of a married wo- men, 50 cents. Fo? administering and certifying an oath unless it be for an affidavit of a witness, 50 cts. For taking and certilying affidavit or deposi- tions of witnesses when done in an hour, 75 cents.” It seems to me, sir, that some such enact. ment is loudly called for in this State. As it is, our Justices are called upon to do an amount of labor and spend a deal of time, which in justice, ought not to be required for nothing of any of our fellow citizens, and I know of no reason why they should labor and spend their time for the public convenience and benefit any more than any other class of our fellow citizens, {t not unfrequently happens, and es- pecially during Court weeks, that a flew Ma. gistrates have to spend hours of labor in ex- amining and making out settlements of Estates, for which they get not a dime, and this is so all over the State. If it did not fall so heavily upon those, who, from a sense of duty, never refuse to act when called upon, the case would be different. But how is it? It is the most difficult matter in the world in some instances to get Magistrates to act in a case requiring time and labor. They will avoid, shun, beg off, or excuse themselves, and refer you to this one, or that one, to discharge a duty they have sworn they would do, until the poor adminis. trator, or some one in & fix like him, out of heart and mind, knows not what to do. Allow fees, reasunable fees, and all this de- lay, vexation and trouble, will be avoided.— Go and ask any lawyer acquainted with the common duties of the office, and he will tell you that Justices ought to be paid ; and | do hope sir, that our representatives to the ap- proaching Legislature will give this matter their attention, and endeavor to put it through that body, as they are both Magistrates and can appreciate fully the above remarks. SYNTAX. Rowan Co., Aug. 17, 1852. FOR THE WATCHMAN. Ata meeting of the citizens of Davidson County, and the members of the bar in attendance on the Coart, held in Lexington, on the llth day of August, 1852, for the purpose of ing the tribute of their respect to the me- mory of piney R. Dusensery, Esq., deceased. On motion of Alfred G. Foster, James Wiseman, Esq., was called to the Chair, and, on motion of Cicero F. Lowe, Robert Foster was appointed Secretary . ; The object of the meeting was briefly and appropri- ately explained by George C. Mendenhall, Esq. On motion of Ralph Gorrell, Andrew Hunt and William R Walker were appointed a Committee to draft resolutions to the meeting. After retirin for a short time the Com- mittee throagh, William R. Walker, reported the follow- ing Preamble and Resolutions which were unanimously Wuenreas, We have received with unfeigned sorrow the melancholy intelligence of the death of our esteemed friend apd fellow citizen, Henny R.

It re- marks that “ Free Suffrage is stronger than any man or set of men, and the result has been, that Gov. Reid has, in nearly all cases, run a- head of his party vote!” In the mean time, we would say to our Whig friends abroad :—Lose not your confidence in the continued ascendency of Whig principles in North Carolina! The State is Whigas ever. Local causes have had every thing to do with Reid’s election—national politics nothing.

The bands are stretched with powerful ma- chines, made expressly for that purpose, and the diffi- culty of bands stretching and ripping under the com- mon way of making them, is entirely removed by this process. Bands made in this way will hold their width evenly, run true, and have a uniform bearing on the drum or pulley, and will give from 15 to 20 per cent. more power than those made in the ordinary way.— They are made out of the best selected oak tanned Spanished Leather, and no pains will be spared to make them equal to the best Northern bands, and will be sold as low as they can be brought in New York. Bands will be delivered in Salisbury to Messrs. Jen- kins & Roberts, for all who may wish. CHAS. M. LINES, Hunt's Store P. O., Guilford co., N. C. July 8, 1852. ly10 READ THIS!

Touch “ not the bowl, the fruitfab bas,” Lest thou should'st reap the bitter frait, Destroy thy body and thy soul, Thy self-respect—thy good repute. For what are “ talents angel bright,” A generfous mind and noble soul, If once the poison’s withering blight, Deprives thee of thy self-control? Touch uot the bowl, for widowa’ sighs, And keen remorse, with dark despair, And helpless orphans’ fruitless cries, Are mingled with the poison there. Let reason, conscience, self-respect, Unite with mine their pleas to save, Thy happiness from being wreck’d, Thy body from an early grave. Oh, pause thou must, ’tis friendship’s plea, The very thought my bosom wrings ; Touch the bow!,—it must not be, I still mu hope for better things. Pause,—ask thyself,—say where are those Who quaff’d the bow! in years gone by ? Dead,—gone forever,—awful close Of life,—by suicide to die. Then would’at thou shun their early doam, And be what thou wast born to be? Forsake the bow!,—“ leap o’er the tomb,” Live, and fulfil thy destiny. ~ CATAWBA SPRINGS HOTEL, V.

M paid ihe ‘he man to whom Mr. Bru- SUlnea, as mentioned, came Being perfectly convinced that no choice was left him, into the dark room he walk- ed, or rather slided. All was perfect chaos to his eyes for a moment, but only for a moment; then from the deepest gloom came forth an an- gel voice, “ bidding him welcome and draw near.” To obey the order was but the work of a moment, as he supposed ; but he little dreamt of the obstacle which fate had thrown in his way. He knew full well the stream of love had many rip- ples, bat full grown snags entered not in- to his calculation. _ Judge then of his astonishment on be- ing tripped ap almost at the feet of a fair one by a fat stool with plethoric legs, which chance or a careless servant had placed exactly on his rond to happiness. Over he went, and as the tailor had not allowed for an extra tension of muscles and sinews, he not only procured a tum- ble, but also a compound fracture of the black pants aforesaid; said fracture ex- tending all across that point which comes in contact with the chair. Having picked himself up as carefully as circumstances would allow, the smoth- ered laugh of Miss Emily not setting bim forward any, he at last succeeded in reach- ing a chair, and drawing his coat tails for- ward to prevent a disagreeable expose, sat himself down with as much grace as a bear would be expected to exhibit when requested to dance on needles. The young lady was almost suffocated with laughter at the sad misfortune of the bashful lover, felt truly sorry for him, and used all her powers of fascination to drive it from his mind, and eventually succeed- ed so far as to induce him to make a re- mark, On this rock he split. for just at that moment she discovered that she had lost her handkerchief. What bad become of it? She was sure she had it when she came in. It must certainly be some where about. “ Hav’nt you got it under you, Mr. Dam- phule !” Jack was sure that couldn’t be so, but poor Jack, in venturing an answer, could not possibly get along without raising his hands, and of course he must drop his coat tail. In his anxiety to recover the missing viper, he even ventured to incline his body so as to get a glance on the floor. As he did so the fracture opened, and be- hold, there lay, as the lady supposed, her property. It was the work of a moment to seize the corner and exclaim— “Here it is, sir; you needn’t trouble yourself. Raise a little, itis ander you !” at the same time giving it a long pall. Alas, the * tail” was told—no escape —nothing short of a special interposition of Providence could save his sbirt. But what couldbedo? Another, and another strong pull, evincing on the part of the lady a praise- worthy determination to ob- tain the “lost dry goods,” coupled with the request— “ Get up sir, you're sitting on it,” deter- mined him, and im the agony of the mo- ment, grabbing with both hands a fast dis- appearing strip of linen which encircled ' his neck, he exclaimed in heart-broken “For God’s sake, Miss Emily leave my shirt collar !” THE RUM-SELLER'’S DEBT.

Dr. Guthrie. ADAPTATION OF THE COLORS OF ANIMALS TO THEIR HAUNTS. Tbroughonot the annimal creation, the adaptation of the color of the creature to its haunts is worthy of admiration, as tend- ing toits preservation. The colors of in- sects, and of a multitude of the smaller animals, contribute to their concealment. Catterpillars which feed on leaves are generally either green, or have a large proportion of that hue in the color of their coats. As long as they remain still, how difficult it is to distinguish a grasshopper or young locust from the herbage or leaf on which it rests. The batterflies that flit about among flowersare colored like them. The smal] birds which frequent hedges have backs of a greenish or brownish green hue, and their bellies are generally whitish, or light colored, so as to barmo- nize with the sky. Thus they become less visible to the hawk or cat that passes above or below them. The way farer across the fields almost~treads upon the sky-lark before he sees it rise warbling to heaven’s gate. The goldfinch or thistle finch passes much of its time among flow- ers, and is vividly colored accordingly.— The patridge can hardly be distinguished from the fallow or stubble among which it crouches, and it is an accomplishment among sportsmen to bave a good eye for finding a hare sitting. In northern coun- tries, the winter dress of the hares and pa- tarmigans is white, to prevent detections among the snows of those inclement regions. If we rurn to the waters, the same de- sign is evident. Frogs even vary their color according to that of the mud or sand that forms the bottom of the ponds or streams which they frequent—nay, the tree frog,—(Hyla viridis)—takes its spe- cific name from the color, which renders it so difficult to see it among the leaves, where it adheres by the cupping-glass like processes at the end of its toes. It is the same with fish, especially those which in- habit the fresh waters. Their backs, with the exception of gold and silver fish, are comparatively dark; and some practice is required before they are satisfactorily made out, as they come like shadows, and so depart, under the eye of the spectator. A little boy once called out to a friend to “ come and see, for the bottom of the brook was moving along.” The friend came, and saw thata thick shoal of gudgeons, roach, and dace was passing. It is diffi- cult to detect “the ravenous luce,” as old Izaak calls the pike, with its dark green and mottled back and sides, from the simi- larly tinted weeds among which that fresh water shark lies on the watch, as motion- less as they. Even when a tearing old | trout, a six or seven pounder, sails, in his | wantonness, leisurely up stream, with his | back fin partly above the surface, on the | look-out for a fly, few,except a well en- tered fisherman, can tell what shadowy form it isthat ripples the wimpling water. | But the bellies of fish are white, or nearly | so, thus imitating, in a degree, the color of the sky, to deceive the otter, which generally takes its prey from below, swim- ming under the intended victim. _ Nor is this design less manifest in the color and appearance of some of the largest terrestrial animals ; for the same principle seems to be kept in view, wheth- er regard be had to the smallest insects, or the quadrupedal giants of the land. EA RLY DAYS IN ILLINOIS. LEVIED ON THE CALF. We have read many “good ones” of the ear. ly settlers of the West, but the following, we believe, is a little ahead of anything we have | seen as yet. As it was related to us by Col. B—bimeelf, there is no doubt of its truth: Tbe Colonel said he came to this State from Onondaga county, New York, in 1832, when he was about nineteen, and though rather ver. dant, in bis own estimation, he was considered “some punkins” by the good people of P 5 where he first went to reside. The second year of his residence al P——({then a small iown,) he was elected to the office of Constable, and one of bis first duties in bis official capa- city was to levy, by virtue of an execution, on the goods and chattels of a country oeighbor. It was a new business to B. He bad never before seen a writ of areca “i i ideas process were quile origioal. It was a Seo Sone morning in May, when the writ was into bis bands, with a request that it should attended to. B. footed it, a mile, to the residence of fil deli nt, and commenced operations. Sealeoion was easy enough. He levied on the wagon, the sled, the harness, and even the horses in the barn, without difficulty, they all remained stalionary, even the old brindle cow in the spacious bara-yard walked but a few steps, and allowed him to place bis hand upon ber. But old brindle had a sprightly calf, of about three months, which seemed to have no idea of making familiar upon so short intance. * Bn looked despondingly at the calf as it be immediately something over yard.

B, re-read the writ—he could put but one construction on its - lt wasa command to levy on all goods and chattels, é&c., and it mast be obeyed. Besides, hé would not risk (he chances of being laughed at, by the other “officers,” and mayhap losing custom, for being unable to levy upon a calf; to give it up was not to be thought of. For some time the Colonel tried with the ut- most suaviler tn modo, to induce young brindle to stand still, “just long enough (10 use his owa words) for me to lay this small paper on your back, and I won’t burt you, you young scamp.” It was no go; “bossy” was not to be fooled by the intruder’s douceur. B. concluded to give chase. _ For nearly balf an hour he worried bimsell io Vain attempts to lay hold of “bossy’s” hind. most extremity. The sweat oozed out of every pore. He threw off his coat and tucked his pants into the top of bis boots, and, with the writ In his hand, renewed bis chase in the most determined manner. Away went the calf and away followed the Colonel—now taking “the most direct route” round the straw stack ; now Performing astonishing feats of agility across the four-foot ditch that drained the yard, over the old sled or “gudeman’s” milk stool; one mo. ment almost within reach of his victim; the next, nearly the distance of the yard apart. It was a lucky moment for B. when young brin- dle halted opposite the stack, while he recover. ed his understanding {rom a miscalculated leap that ended in the ditch. He walked slowly away, taking a circuit that brought him and the unwilling victim at opposite sides of the stack ; cautiously he crept around towards the animal's rear, and succeeded in just touching his family pride, (the reader will excase us,) when away he bounded, and away again fol. lowed the Colonel with the energy of despair. He at length sat down on the sled to.rest, and master brindle came to a stand at the cor. ner of the barn, with his haunches slightly pro. truding. Again B. crept noiselessly, along by the barn, holding his breath lest the unwary calf should take the hint; when within a proper distance, he made a successful spring and caught its unprotected extremity. * Ab,” said the Colonel, “ihe way the young | scamp travelled about the yard with me at the end of bis tail, was a warning to young consta’ bles.”—Round and round the yard they went B. parting company with his hat and the “pub. lic documents therein.” —Hitching his left hand gradually along the grasped extremity of the terrified brute, which ran as fast as calf never ran before, B. finally collected all his energies, and making « desperate bound, brought his right hand, containing the troublesome writ, slap upon the creature’s rump, with the triumph. ant exclamation— “ There you devil’s imp !—you’r levied on at last !” ‘“‘ This,” said the Colonel, (who is nowa M. C.) “* was one of my first’ attempts to serve the State, and [ tell you, sir, Joha Gilpin’s celebra- ted ride was boy’s sport in comparison.” Windfall—The origin of this term is said to be the following: Some of the nobility of Logland, by the tenure of their estates, were forbid to fell any trees in the forest upon them, the timber being reserved for the use of the royal navy. Such trees as fell without cutting were the property of the occupant. A tornado was therefore, a perfect God- send in every sense of the term, to those who had occupancy of extensive forests, and the wind-fall was something of great value. Robbing Peter to pay Paul—In the time of Edward the VI much of the land of St. Peter, at Westminster, was seized by his majesty’s ministers and courtiers ; but in order to reconcile the people to that rob- bery they allowed a portion of the lands to be appropriated toward the repairs of St. Paul's church ; hence the phrase, “rob- bing Peter to pay Paul.” He’s caught a Tartar—In some battle between the Russians and Tartars, who are a wild sort of people, in the north of Asia, a private soldier called out, “ Cap- tain, halloo there, I've caught a Tartar !” “ Fetch him along then, said,” said the Captain. “ Ay, but he won’tlet me,” said the man; and the fact was the Tartar had him.— So, when a man thinks to take another in and gets bit himself, they say “ He caught a Tartar.” Hie! Betty Martin—Many of our most popular valgarisms have their origin in some whimsical perversions of language, for in fact, St. Martin is one of the wor- thiest of the Roman calendar, and a form of prayer commences with the words, “ O, mihi Beate Martine.” which was corrupt. ; P ed to “ My eye and Betty Martin.” Roland for an Oliver—Although no phrase is in more common use, yet few are acquainted with its origin. The ex- ion signifies giving an equivalent.— land and Oliver were two knights, fa- moas in romance.

Tue Memory or Frrenos.—Another friend has left us, with his face turned to- wards the golden shores of the Pacific.— Henceforth, for a season at least, he will only appear to us as distant ob- jects to come, in dreams and in reminis- cences of the past. Ther@are pleasing memories which constitute in of sym- pathetic association, and a medium of spiritual union, with the absent, enabling us to call up the forms and faces we have met on life’s journey, and whose influence yet lingers around us like a charmed at- mosphere, or an aspiration of the soal for- ever. ‘ Conspicuous among the elements and the evidences of our immortality, are these golden recollections—these dauntlessmem- ories—-which rise like stars in their men- tal heaven, and shine as the eyes of angel- watchers, above the darkness of the pil- grim’s lonely way. We yield toa tial magnetism when our spirits go out, far over mountain and wave, to seek the remembered objects of our devotion. And do we not require this mysterious fellow- ship with the absent? For how sadly does this world of time, custom, and ba- siness, trifle with human hopes, affections and sympathies! How often are earthly pleasares destroyed, by the abrupt chang- es and arbitrary conditions of ‘the life that now is!’ And the fondest attachments, oh, how are they violated by the “necessity that knows no law |” = Amid the conflict of the outward world the soul delights to prophesy of a day of rest, when daty and. inclination, in all the circumstances of being, shall be united in conjugal relations, to be divorced no more forever. If mortals may be permitted to enjoy so great a boon on earth, may the blessing rest at last on these who aow wander from kindred and from home.— And as the sun-beams fall on the flowers, that open to receive the golden light, so may the benedictions of angels descend and rest on the true and loving souls that are far away, quickening. into increasing life and perfect beauty, the germs of im- mortal hope and joy. No use for the Trousers now.—On the morning of the meteor shower, in 1833, old Peyton Roberts, who intended making an early start to his work, got up in the midst of the display. On going to his door, he saw with amazement the sky lighted up with the falling meteors, and he concluded at once that the world was on fire, and that the day of jadgment had come. He stood for a moment gazing in speech- less terror at the scene,and then with a yell of horror sprang out of the door into the yard, right into the midst of the fall- ing stars, and here in his efforts to dodge them, he commenced a series of ground and lofty tumbling that would have done honor to a tight-rope dancer. His wife being awakened in the meantime, and seeing old Peyton jumping and skipping about the yard, called out to him to know— “ What in the name o’sense he was do- in’ out thar, dancin’ around thar, without his clothes on {” But Peyton heard not—the judgment and the long black accounts he would have to settle, made him heedless of all terrestial things; and his wife by this time becoming alarmed at his strange be- havior, sprang out of bed, and running to the door, shrieked out at the top of her lungs— ; “Peyton! I say Peyton! what do you mean, jumpin’ about out thar? Come in and put your trowsers on 7” Old Peyton, whose fears had near over- come him, faintly answered, as he fell sprawling upon the earth—* Ob! P ° Peggy, don’t you see-e-e the w-o r-l-d’s a-fire? Thar ain’t no use for trowsers now !” An Irishman said, if a few gooseberries gave so fine a flavor to ap apple pie, that it would be a darling of an apple-pie that was made of gooseberries entirely. An Irishman called on a lady and gen- tleman, in whose employ he was, for the urpose of getting some tea and tobacco. «| bad a dhrame last night, yer honor,” said he to the gentleman. “ What was it, Pat 1” “ Why I dhramed that your honor made me a present of a plag of tobaccy, and her ladyship there—heaven bless ber !— ve me some tay for the good wife.” “ Ab! Pat, dreams go by contraries, you know ?” ; Faith, and they may be that,” said Pat, without the Jeast hesitation, “so yer In- dyship is to give the tobaccy, and his hoa- or the tay.” An editor in Maine says that a pone. kin in that State grew so large that t men could stand around it.

The last Whig Convention in Baltimore, before a single vote was cast for a candi- date for President, after a fair stand up | contest, adopted the compromise by an overwhelming majority. In the Democratic Convention on the other hand, there was a distinct proposi- tion made by the compromise men. to adopt the compromise, before the conven- tion ballotted for a candidate, but this was opposed by Northern Free Soilers and Southern Secessionists, the Conven- tion positively refused by a decided ma- jority, to adopt the compromise before a candidate was nominated. The Whig Convention adopted the com- promise, the fugitive slave law included, as a finality, in accordance with the prin- ciples early annouunced and uniformly acted upon by Mr. Fillmore and his ad- ministration. The Democrats did not use the word | Genera! Scott before he was formally | applied to by the convention to say whe- | ther he would sustain the fugitive slave | law if elected or not, never refused to say | that he would sustain it—on the other hand he repeatedly declared before the | nomination that he approved heartily of | the compromise—after he was nominated, | and before any answer was required of | him whilst the convention was yet in ses- sicn, he voluntarily accepted the resolu- tions, thus pledging himself to sustain the compromise if elected. Robert G. Scott, of Virginia, before the Democratic Convention met, addressed a | letter to some 13 Demacrats who had been spoken of as candidates for the Pre- sidency, including Gen. Franklin Pierce, asking each of them whether if elected President they would veto any bill that should pass through Congress, for repeal- ing the Fagitive Slave law. Oat of this whole number, bat one ee to answer, and that one was Gen. Franklin Pierce. These are facts that we presume will not be denied by any candid Democrat who knows anything of the matter. There are other facts we}! authenticated, which place General Scott’s soundness upon the Compromise when compared with Gen. Pierce, in a still stronger light—but we prefer at present using only such as are beyond dispute—and yet in the face of all these facts the Democratic leaders at the South have the effroutery to hold ap General Scott as unsound on the Compro- mise and General Pierce as_ perfectly sound and reliable on that measure, and there have been men calling themselves Whigs who were credulous enough and green enough to believe them. That number however, before the full blaze of truth, is growing “small by degrees, and beautifully less.’— Newbernian. GOOD WORD FROM ILLINOIS. An intelligent gentleman from Illinois was in our office yesterday, and speaking warmly of the enthusiasm in Illinois for ScottandGraham. He says the nomina- tion of that ticket has at least made Illinois debateable ground, and he would not be astonished if Scott carried the State. He says there is a much better feeling for him than there was for Taylor, while Pierce has fewer friends than had Cass. The Democrats there have hard work to | swallow the nomination of Pierce, and ma- ny of them utterly refuse to doit. In our informant’s own neighborhood, he says, there are twenty or thirty prominent de- | mocrats, who have always been devoted | to their party, and swallowed every convention nomination, now utterly re- fuse to go for Pierce. They give as a reason, that they will vote for no man who has shown himsel! such an enemy to Wes- tern interests as has Gen. Pierce. That | he has opposed the West every time he | had the chance, and that now they intend, | the right feeling, u Christian feeling which will permit them | to turn the other cheek to Mr. Pierce, be- | cause be has struck them a blow on the first. They have now a chance to pay | him for thie injury be has done them, and | they will be unjust to themselves if they | do not settle this debt. Bat set down IIli- | nois as all right.— Evansille Journal. The Chicago Journal says that the wa. | ters of the river and lake rise and fall at | irregular intervals. There is something traly remarkable in these “ups and downs” of river and lake. The small lakes also, in Michigan and Indiana, rise and fall in a similar manner, which suggests the idea that all these beautiful sheets have subterraneous communication with Lake Michigan. ~Clear Lake,” near which the village of La Porte is situated, has ‘risen within a tew weeks past to such a height that it has submerged the plank road bet ween Michigan city and La faass, which would have been deemed hardly possible by those who know the relative position of each.

That's | frage,—and they were easily induced to believe | nless they possess that (and every effort was made to produce that im. | pression) that his (Gov.

Thus, many, very many Whigs were prevailed on to forego their party preferences under their anxiety for this measure of reform, which can never be— | come a component part of the Cunstitution with. | blow, which broke ber neck. out the aid and votes of Whigs. Besides this, Gov. Reid was in office, which gave him a great advantage over any competi- tor,—to which may be added the fact that be had canvassed the entire State twice before, and bad become personally known to a large namber of the voters, whilst his opponent was personally a comparative stranger to them. To sustain the correctness of these views it is only necessary to examine in detail the re- tures of theelection. In most, i! not nearly all the contested Counties, Gov. R. ran ahead of his ticket. Here in the County of Wake he obtained about 200 votes more than General Saunders, the highest Democrat on the Com. mons ticket. where the result is apparent, but it is unneces- sary to dwell on the subject. We are now freed from these local issues. In 1848 Gov. Manly was elected by about 850 majority. The locofocos claimed it asa victo. yo ge Whigs felt that it way next kin to a feat. But, when the contest came on between Taylor and Cass, upon purely political issues, we rallied and carried the State by nearly nine thousand majority. We can do this again under.

We thought last week we had certainly carried the Legislature, but it seems we were mistaken. We suppose the Locos will have a ma- jority of 2 on joint ballot. We have a majority in the House, which is some con- solation; and a half loaf is, under any cir- cumstances, better than no bread. LOCO FOCO PREDICTIONS. Several of the Democratic papers of this State, and some in others, profess to believe North Carolina will vote for Pierce and King. Thisclaim they found upon the result of the late Gubernatorial elec- tion. , : The “ Wilmington Journal,” we see, ad- mits that is not a test of the state of feel- ing on the Presidential question ; and the North Carolinian confesses that “ Free Soffrage has had something to do with this result,” but contends “Gen. Scott’s cause was a heavy load for Mr. Kerr to carry, and it had its effect on the election.” Just what you said in 1848 when Man- “ly was elected by only a little over 800 majority. Put North Carolina down for “Cass and Butler,” was the cry all over the State—“ she won’t vote fora man who “can’t write his own despatches, and who runs on the same ticket with such a noto- rious Abolitionist as Millard Fillmore !” But what was the result? Why Taylor carried the State by nine thousand majori- ty. In 1840, Harrison was said tobe “too heavy a load” for Morehead—the Locos claimed an easy victory for their “ North- ern man with Southern principles,’—it was to be no race at all! But when the election came, old Tippecanoe, poor Gene- ral, old granny and Abolition Mum Can- didate, as he was said to be, and albeit he was at the same time “caged up,” beat “ Matty” into fits. We bave no more ‘doubt North Carolina will go overwhelm- ingly for Scott, than that she did for Har- rison and Taylor. Every body knows Gen. Scott, and the people‘of the old North State will reward him for his brilliant ser- vices in défence of his country. Heisa great man and a popular man, which cannot be said of his opponent. During the past campaign, we scarcely ever heard Pierce’s name mentioned, except by some sub-leader of the Loco foco party—and even he could say nothing in his favor.— Hurra! for Reid and Free Suffrage—or rather Free Suffrage and Reid—was the cry! No one thought of Frank Pierce, though once in a while you might hear an over enthasiastic Republican sing. out, “ Harra for King and—* that other fellow.” The Locos reckon without their host, when they set North Carolina down for a New Hampshire Free Soiler, against a distinguished soldier and statesman. They don’t believe it themselves—they have been predicting thus, ever since 1836.— Now is their time to rejoice—in Novem- _ ber they must put on sackcloth. How to prove the State will go for Pierce, by showing the people went for Free Suffrage, the “Standard,” of the 18th, exhibits a novel specimen of logic. It at- tempts to prove two things, entirely difter- ent, from the same premises. In its first editorial it labors through a whole column to prove that Mr. Kerr’s defeat was the result of his advocacy of Gen. Scott's cause. In the very next article, of a col- umn’s length, it replies to its own argu- ments and shows that the same result was the effect of “ Free Soffrage.” Hear the Standard! We copy from its first edito- rial: “David S. Reid, the advocate of Pierce and King, has received the largest vote ever cast for any man in North Caro: lina ; andJohn Kerr,the advocate of Scott and Graham, has made the most disas- trous ran for his cause ever made by an Whig candidate for Governor in the State.” Ergo argues the Standard, the issue w between Scott and Pierce, and the State “ will vote for Pierce and King.” Bat in the next article another pictare is drawn— another argument made—by this same ingenious Journal. We copy again from a dissertation headed, “The West—A Convention”: + Jn the West, where this measure (a Convention) was supposed to one ae bY legislating ’ not want qa C Exactly so.

It will be seen by the subjoined letter from the Grand Worthy Patriarch, that, for want of authority, he declines order. ing any change in the meeting of the Oc- tober session of the Grand Division. It will, therefore, assemble in Salisbury, on Tuesday. the 26th day of October next, pursuant to adjournment: = Jackson, N. C., August 6th, 1852. is morning I received a resolution which was ed by Salem Division, No. 3, requesting me to aon the time for holding the next Annual Session of the Grand Division, which will be held according to our By- Laws on Tuesday, the 26th October next. As I may receive other petitions, I hasten to reply through the “Spirit of the Age.” My attention was first called to this subject by a Communication and edirtorial which appeared in your paper of the 14th ultimo. It is alleged that the time is unfavorable for a large meeting, chiefly on account of the Presidential election, which comes on Tuesday the 2ud November, and the Methodist Annual Conference which commences on Wednesday the 3rd, at Louisburg. The fact that the Legislature may be in sessionabout that time, cannot amount to such a serious objection as has been intimated. The election and meeting of Confer- ence, however, may justly create a desire on the part of many for a change of time, which I should be glad to gratify if I possessed the authority. I am sorry that it is 80 clearly out of my power to afford relief. It is true that the G. W. P. has the power to call a special session of the G. D. when requested, in writing, by at least five members representing not less than two Subordinate Di- visions. But at such a session, no business shall be transacted except such as is specified in the request, and no alteration affecting the general interest of the Order throughout the State, shall be made. A meeting thus called cannot, in my opinion, supercede the necessity of the Annual Session, which must be held at a certain time, according tolaw. Article the first of our By-Laws declares that “ the Annual Session of this Grand Divis- ion shall be held on the 4th Tuesday in October.” This meeting cannot be dispensed with, because at no other can the Grand officers be elected, nor any business be transacted involving the expenditure of money, or alter- ing the By-Laws. In no contingency has the power been conferred by the G. D. on its chief officer to merge the Annvuat into a Srgciay Session. The time for the annual meeting has been unconditionally fixed, which cannot be altered by the G. D. itself without first chang- ing the By-Laws. Then, having no power to change the time for holding the regular annual session, I deem it useless to call an extra session. I feel assured that the refusal to make the desired alteration as to time will be attributed by my brethren to constitutional impedi- ments, and not to any indisposition to accommodate.— Owing to the reasons already set forth, I think an earlier day is very desirable, but an evident infraction of laws assed for the government of associations, although vol- untary, is more to be dreaded. At our Grand Division I trust that I shall have the [f pleasure of greeting brethren from every part of the State who are engaged in a noble cause. It is certain that our session will break on Friday, the 29th October so that all can leave Salisbury on Saturday morning.— Thé most important business I doubt not will be acted on by Friday morning, so that those who live at a con- siderable distance can then start home. I think that the facilities for travelling now will enable most of our brethren to attend the Grand Division, without forego- ing the pleasure of exercising the right of suffrage, or attending the Methodist Conference. I believe that it is only 150 miles from Salisbury to Louisburg—a dis- tance that can be travelled by private conveyance in four days. Truly, yours in L. P. & F. JOHN B. ODOM, G. W. P. P. S. I will state that I have received a Communi- cation from Lincolnton, remonstrating against any change of time. J.B FOR THE WATCHMAN. Mr. Epiror: A short time since a lady in the coun- try, who does not visit Salisbury often, perhaps once if two or three years, for she lives some distance, came to town. During her stay, she stepped into » and looking out upon a back-yard—* why, bless me,” suid she, *“‘ what a filthy yard! No wonder this is such a sickly place. Why there are twenty waggon loads of manure in that lot at least.” ‘‘ That may be, madam,” said a gentleman who was standing near, “ but I think our town quite neat and clean now, excepting a few places; don’t you?” ‘Indeed, I do not,” said the lady. ‘I think it one of the filthiest places I ever saw in my life, and so said this morning when we came through your town.” Such, Mr. Editor, was the opinion of a lady of obser- vation and intelligence respecting our town, and I ap- peal to you, sir, and to the cittzens generally, if there is not point and truth in that opinion. Is it not a fact, Mr. Editor, that the back-yards and back-ways of this town, are too frequently in a too filthy condition for a decent, cleanly, and refined people? Let any one who doubts it, go over town to the back-yards and snuff the breeze. I want no better test than this They may dispense with seeing and feeling—just smell. This matter I regard ‘as important, and as one that ought to be attended to. Health is connected, or rather it»depends in some degree at least, upon cleanliness.— We should be clean in our apparel, our food, our dwell- ings, and our yards, if we would be healthy. — If we would avoid disease, and especially contagious diseases, at this season of the year—the month of August—which is the sickly season with us, and when typhoid fever has shown itself in our vicinity, if not in our midst, it does seem to me that this matter should be attended to. Is it not as important as any of the regalations of the town for prevention from fire, &c.? If 80, I hope, that those whose duty it is to see to it, will wed) Yeo > SUPREME COURT.

Mass Meeting in Iredell A large and respectable meeting of the Whigs of Iredell was held in the Court House in Statesville, on Tuesday, the 17th instant, and was organized by calling Georce F. Davip- son to the Chair, and appointing William H. Haynes and George W. Chipley, Secretaries. W. P. Caldwell explained the object of the meeting to be to ratily the Baltimore Whig nominations, and to organize for holding a Mass Meeting of the Whigs of this part of the State at this place, and alter a few remarks, he intro- duced to the audience Gen. Jobn A. Young, of Charlotte, a member of the late Baltimore Whig Convention. Gen. Young entertained his audience for more than an hour, in a most spir. it-stirring and eloquent address, which was well calculated to arouse the Whigs of Iredell, and cause them to rally to the support of Scott and Graham. Afier Gen. Young concluded, the Chair ap. pointed a committee of three, consisting of W. P. Caldwell, M. A. White and W. Turner, to report resolutions for the action of the meeting. Whilst the committee was out, the aesem. blage was addressed by Col. John A. Lilling- ton in his usual eloquent and happy manner.— His speech was eloquently diversified with wit, pathos and anecdote. The committee, through Mr. Caldwell, made a report of the following resolutions : Resolved, ‘That we will cordially sustain the bominees of the Whig National Convention— Gen. Scott and Wm. A.Graham, for President and Vice President of the United States. Resolved, That we will hold a District Mass Meeting ot the Second Congressional District at Statesville, on Friday, the 10th September next, and that the Whigs of thé 131, 3d and 4th Con. gressional Districts generally are hereby invi- ted to attend and be with us on that occasion. Resolved, That a committee of thirteen be appointed to make the necessary arrangements for the Mass Meeting. Resolved, ‘That a committee of five be ap. pointed to correspond and invite speakers. Resolved, ‘That this meeting recommend that the Counties composing this Congressional Dis- trict, send delegates tu this place on the luth of September next, to nominate a Whig Elec. lor for President and Vice President. These resolutions were reported by Dr. Ram. say, of Rowan, in a few pertinent remarks and by Wm. Jobnston, Esq., of Mecklenburg, which last gentleman spoke with great force of the military character and of the civil capacities ot Gen. Scott. The resolutions were then unanimously adopted. The Chair appointed on the committee of correspondence the following :— W. P. Caldwell, Esq., Dr. R. H. Parks, John Davidson, Esq., Milton Campbell. And the following are the committee of ar- rangements :— Wilfred Turner, Col. A. M. Walker, John Dalton, Abner Feimster, Moses A. White, L. Q. Sharpe, Esq., Edwin Falls, Col.

Powers, THE Scurtor, in a letter to the Secretary of State of Louisiana, gives the following description of the statute of Washington, which he is cutting for that State, and which he expects to complete within the ensuing year :—“1 am repre- senting Washington in the citizen dress of his time—standing six feet five inches high, larger than life, in order that the statute may have the appearance of life- size in the place where it is to stand on its pedestal in a large room. He seems as meditating, holding the Farewell Ad- dress in one hand, while he leans with his right arm upon a column composed of rods banded together, at the foot of which 1 have placed two emblems of husbandry, the sickle and the pruning hook, and they signify even more than does the plough, A p H r F i nag - ; gentle and retiring virtues had made upon the commu- nity in which he lived —[Comm. __ Ia this place, on the 16th instant, after a lingering illness, the effect of Measles, HENRY TOOMER, in- 7slles of Mrs. Joha B.

WILLIAM PI WAUGH, in the 77th year of his age. TT Col. Waugh wasa native of York, now Adams county, Pennsylvania, and emigrated to Wilkesboro’, N.C.,in December, 1803, where he established him- self asa Merchant and trader—which profession he continued to pursue until his death. For many years in connexion with his partner Maj. John Finley, he was engaged in a most extensive mercantile and trad- ing business, by which he amassed a large fortune, and which, having no family of his own, has been left by his Will to numerous relativss in various parts of the United States. He was a man remarkable for sagaci- ty and sound sense, and possessed an intuitive know- ledge of men and motives which rarely deceived him in the multifarious transactious with the world, in which it was his fortuue to engage. During the war of 1812, he raised a company of Volunteer Cavalry, and served a short toar of military daty, but owing to the difficul- ty of procuring forage in the Indian country, the Cay- alry Regiment was discharged and returned home.— Col. Waugh possessed many excellent traits of charac- ter, and although he never made a profession of reli- gion or became a member of any church, he was nev- ertheless a most hospitable and generous host, kind and benevolent to the poor, and liberal in his contributions to all denominations of christians. His remains were intered in the burying ground in Wilkesboro’, and were followed to the grave by a very large concourse of citi- zens—the funeral services on the occasion being per- formed by the Rev. Messrs. Bell and Barber of the Presbyterian and Episcopal churches.—[Com. THE SCOTT CLUB Will meet at the Temperance Hall, on Saturday evening next. The Whigs are earnestly requested to attend. A.

A tragical story is toldof an adventure ‘that happened to the Monks of St. Bern- ‘ard, in the days when the breed of their lebrated dogs was at its full perfection. No less than thirty robbers, to whom the ‘sipposed possession of the monastery of- fered a rich booty, had, by degrees, intro- duced theinselves into the retreat, arriv- in parties at iutervals, and always re- ceived in the most friendly manner. As ‘ goon as the whole band was assembled, they threw off their concealment, and som- “moned the abbot to produce the keys of the treasure. ly, a man of more resolute character than usally occurred in those places of seclu- sion, and did not lose his presence of inind. He observed to them mildly, that their condoct was unworthy, and an ill-returo for the hospitable atieniions they had re- | ceived. The robbers, as may be suppos- ed, were deaf to this appeal, and contin- ved their demand. “Ii it must be so, as we have no meansof defending oarsel ves, I must submit ; follow me, therefore, to the spot where our treasure is kept.” He led the wayf and was (umultuously atten- ded by the Qager band. He placed his hand on a door, bot before he turned the key, he turned back and made another | appeal; he was answered with execra- tions, and no choice being left him threw the door wide open. It was the den in which the dogs were kept; he raised his voice to which a loud yell responded, then gave a rapid signal, and in an instant the powerful animals bounded forth upon their prey, tearing some, strangling others, and sending the few of the robbers who escap- ed their attack, flying for their lives head- , long down the mountain in frantic terror, | to be dashed to pieces over the precipices | which yawned beneath uber feet.

A gentleman amused himself lately by throwing a small coin in twen. ly feet of water, and giving it to any Indian who would bring it up. Down they plunged, but after descending ten or twelve feet, they | came up so chilled that after several attempts | they gave it up.

Many years ago it was a custom in the State of Maine, in most of the towns, to celebrate the memorable event of the surrender of Corn. wallis, by going through a mock pertormance representing that important fact in our country’s mary. of plunging : as was expected, quietly touk up na a setting pole, and dipping the end in a tar Phe little town of Waterlord, situated upon | barrel, reached it dows tothe coin and brought the banks of the broad and majestic * Crooked River,” resolved not to be behind hand in so great an affair. Accordingly a meeting was called at the old town house on the bill, to make the necessary arrangements. Deacon Moses Jones, as he was called, was chosen to enact the character of Washington, and ‘Squire’ Bi. Th under officers soldiers, &c., were to be select ed by the selectmen, whose duty it was to fur nisb uniforms and pay such other expenses the affair should require. Now, as Messrs. Jones and Wood are th principal heroes of this sketch, a short deseri tion of their characters may not be out of place Deacon Jones was a wealthy farmer, proud an religious, (at least he thought he was,) an was on the whole a very worthy man. The worst (hing about him was a bad habit of taki ‘a drop too much,” but even this was ne thought a great deal of, for everybody in thea days took somethin’ occasionally. Squire Wood was the village lawyer, ve aristucratic, but withall a very clever man, The Squire imagined that he knew consider ble more than what his neighbors gave big credit for. This may be safely set down his greatest fault. Both the Squire and th Deacon were proud of their positions in th great affair, and both meant to do their best. The morning of the great day dawned bea tifully. ‘he Deacon, dressed as general Was ington, and mounted on his ‘iron grey,’ retire with his men, dressed as ** Continentals true, at anearly hour, to @ grove near the village, where the ceremony was to take place.

BARTER. “So you've been home to Connecticut to keep Thanksgiving, have you ?” said Brown to Smith, at the dinner table, on the day of the latter’s return. “ Yes,” was the matter-of-course reply. Now, Brown was a sharp fellow, (at least in his own opinion.) and a lurking grin had begun to steal over his phiz iw such a knowing way that we outside bar- barous began to listen. ~ “Let me see, said Brown, musing a moment, “don’t they make horn gun-flints, wooden punkin seeds, and wooden nut- megs down in Conneticut ?” “Oh, yes,” said Smith, quite unconcern. ed ; ‘but they sell them elsewhere.” Twas evident Brown had not made | much thus far. His grin was losing its glee. “Well Smith,” said Brown, retarning dressed before light, and stationed himself wit his men dressed as Britishers, behind th The programme of the day’s performance was as follows: The two companies were te meet in front of the tavern, on the common exchange shots, skirmish a littlh——in whie Cornwallis was to be most essentially whippee and then ingloriously surrender. At early dawn thousands poured into the lit tle village to see the fun and celebrate th great day. Punch, rum flip, and Gingerbre were in great demand. At 9’oclock the t companies marched into the village and arra ed themselves into fighting position, remindio the spectators of the time when ‘Brave Wolf drew up his men In style most pretty, On the plains of Abraham, Before the city.” The two commanders were greatly excited and Washington, I regret to say, was in any thing but a fit condition to act out the great pa he was to perform.

Many persons see corks used daily without knowing trom whence come (hose useful ma- terials. Corks cut from large slabs of the is stripped of its bark at about sixteen years down, as in the case of the oak. It is taken while the tree is growing, aod the operation joke devised for the occasion. When the bark is taken off, it is signed in the flames of so strong fire, and aftér being soaked for a considerable time in water, it is placed under heavy weight in order to render it straight. Its extreme lightness, the ease with which it can be compressed, and its elasticity, are properties so peculiar to this substance, that no effectual substitute for it has been dis. covered. The valuable properties of cork were known to the Greeks and Romans, who em. ployed it for all the purposes for which it is used at present, with the exception of stopples. he ancients mostly used ceme) for stopping the mouths of bottles or vessels. The Egyp. tans are said to have made coffins of cork, which being spread on the inside with resin. ous substance, preserved dead bodies from de- cay. In moaern times cork was not generally used for stopples to bottles till abuut the seven. teenth century, cement being used until then for that purpose. A MOTHER’S TEARS. There is a touching sweetness in a mother’s tears when they fall upon the face of her dying babe, which no eye can behold without imbib. ing ite influence. Upon such hallowed ground the foot of profanity dares not approach. Infi- delity itself is silent, and forbears its scoffiings. And here woman displays not her weakness,- but her strength ; it is that strength of attach. ment which can never, in its full intensity, be realised. It is perrennial, dependent upon no changes—but alike in storm and sunshine—it knows no shadow of turning. A father, when he sees his child going down to the dark val. ley, will weep when the shadow of death has fully come over hin; and, as the last parting knell falls on his ear, he may say, * I godown to the grave of my son mourning.” But the hurry of business draws him away ; the tear is wiped from his eye ; and if, when he turns from his fireside, the vacancy in the family circle reminds him of his loss, the succeeding day blunts the poignancy of his grief, until at length it finds no permanent seat in his breast. Not so with ber who has berne and nourished the tender blossom. It lives in the heart where it was first entwined in the dreaming hours of night. She sees its playful mirth, or hears its plaintive cries; she seeks it in the morning, and goes to the grave to weep there. PLAYING CARDS AT YALE COLLEGE. You may, at all times and seasons—except vacalions—be quile sure tha! something funny is being enacted in the dormitories of Old “Yale.” One of the favorite but torbidden amusements of some of the students, is playing whist. One winter, a party of four were in the habit of meeting in one of the rooms to play their favorite ganie, and their movements exci- ted the suspicions of a lynx-eyed tutor, who was quite fond of performing the functions of a po- lice officer—of arresting and bringing culprits to justice. He had at various times opened the door upon them with various degrees of steal- thiness and suddenness, but although the young men sat around the table in suspicious atti- tudes, each would be intent upon a book orpa. per before him, and the discomfited tutor retir- ed from each sortie, strengthened in his con- victions of the guilt of the parties, but unable to obtain the proot of it. At length the leader of the party determined to give the tutor a lessen through a practical He accordingly had the pockets of his box coat lined tempora- rily with a stout sheep skin, and about the right hour, his cook filled them with hasty pudding, scalding hot. ‘Thus prepared he sat down around the table with his companions, who had purposely by certain movements caus- ed the tutor to suspect them. ‘This time there were no books about the table, and when the tutor burst open the door, the youth in the box coat made a vigorous demonstration uf sweep- ing cards from the table and transferring them to his capacious pockets. ‘The tutor walked up to bim in a triumphant manner and de- manded— ‘* What have you in your pockets, sir 1” “T have nothing in them but a hot hasty pudding, sir,” quietly retorted he of the box coat. “ What do you mean by giving me such a reply !—again | ask you, what have you in your ockets 1” “] have told you the simple truth—there is nothing in these pockets but hot hasty pudding.” The tutor was enraged. He rushed behind the young man—he plunged his hands elbow deep, in the pockets. And drew them forth, dripping witb the scalding pudding! He beat a precipilate retreat, and his espionage upon that party of whist ceased forever. THE MONKEY AND THE HAWK. The cook of a nobleman, whose cha- teaa is in the south of France, had a mon- key which was allowed the free range of the kitchen, which was so intelligent that by pretty severe training, its natural pro- pensity to mischief had been subdued, and it was even taught to perform certain use- ful services; plucking fowls, for instance, at which it was uncommonly expert. One fine morning a pair of partridges was given to itto pluck. The monkey took them to an open window of the kitchen which looked directly upon the park, and went to work with great diligence. He soon finished one, which he laid on the outer edge of the window, and then went quietly on with the other. A hawk which had been watching his proceedings from a neighboring tree, darted down upon the plucked partridge, and in a minute was up in the tree again, greedily devouring bis prey. The consternation of the monkey at this untoward adventure may be easily imagined. He knew he should be called to account for the partridge and be severe- ly whipped for losing it. He bopped a- bout in great distress for some minutes, when suddenly a bright thought strack him. Seizing the remaining partridge, he to improve as the age of the tree increases.— by this time ha soon sw: instantly torn off, and the monkey ne triumphant chuckle to strip off his feathers, This -he carried the two picked fow]s to his master, with a con- fident and self-satisfied air, which seemed to say, “ Here are the two birds just what you gave me.” What the cook said on finding one of his partridges converted into a hawk, is more than we are able to say. ACTION OF LEAD UPON WATER. We have lately seen a number of arti- cles discussive of the question, whether or not the action of water upon lead rendered the water deleterious to health when consumed ; although the arguments in the negative were ably ingenious, they were not sufficient to overturn the man well established facts offe by the other side. It has indeed becom well sub- stantiated that water corg$des metallic lead, and forms a poison which is always injurious and in many cases fatal, when taken into the stomach, that no one ought at this day to dispute it. The immediate question, however, is —and it is a very important one—wheth- er or not the water which is used from public works in towns and cities, acts saf- ficiently upon the lead in its passage from the iron main to the dwelling, as to ene danger health. We should say, unhesita- tingly, that it depended altogether upon the state of the water drawn off. If that be fresh from the iron pipe into the street it would certainly be pure and harmless ; vut if it had been remaining for some time —and the longer the less pure—it would undoubtedly be unfit for family consump- tion. An incident occurring upon our own premises will confirm what wesay. We bave a leaden reservoir for rain water, holding some fourteen thousand gallons, which contains water some eight and a half to nine months in the year. At the beginning of December last, fearing the effect of the frost upon the pipes, the wa- ter was let out as usual, to the amount of five or six hundred gallons, which ran in- to a fish pond, containing at the time a couple of thousand gallons of other water and the effect was instantaneous upon the fish. In less than twenty-four hours, the whole of them—some ten dozen, with the exception of half dozen—died. Some of them were catfish of large size. which are regarded as among the hardiest species. The half dozen were saved only by remov- ing them from the pond. On one occa- sion a gold fish was put into a tub of this water, and it no sooner entered it, than it sprang over the sides of the vessel; and when replaced, soon after died. Though these are simple occurrences, they bear very strongly against the use of leaden pipes for the conveyance of water for cooking and drinking purposes.—Ger- mantown Telegraph. The Penalty of Being u Father.—When a Chinese lady is blessed with an increase to her family, from the moment of her accouchement, the unhappy husband is put to bed also, and there detained for forty days, and during this delightful pen- ance he is subjected to all the rigorous treatment of his better half. Should me- dicine be administered to her, he must partake of it also, and he is strictly confia- ed to the same diet that she is obliged to undergo, which consists on an average of about a thimblefull of cream of rice, ad- ministered every three hours to say noth- ing of the pill at bed time to prevent in- digestion. Marked Fish.—The Scotch Commissaries of fishe- ries have been adopting an ingenious device for learning the migrations of the salmon. They have marked a large number of fish hatched from the spawn deposited last year in the Tweed, by placing around them a belt or ring of India rubber, numbered and dated. One of the fish was caught, two days after being thus marked and let go, a hundred miles from the mouth of the Tweed. All fishermen taking such marked fish are de- sired to take note of their weight, the place and date of their capture, and various other particulars named in the directions. The idea is a novel and amusing one. It may lead to valuable scientific discovery. For our part, we should Jike to know what Master Fish thinks of bis belt. He has no hands to take it off, and it is doubtless whether any of his companions will have the politeness to offer any assistance. They may look askance at their little belted brother, and be shy of his society. The use of Camels on the Plains.—In the General Appropriation bill, an amendment has been inserted in the House appropriating $20,- 000 to test the practicability of the use of camels upon our Western prairies. It is thought by very many who have examined the subject that those animals will be found to answer a very ueeful purpose for the transportation of men and amunition. The Secretary of War advises the appropriation, and the propriety of the experi. ment seems to commend itself to all who have investigated the subject. An @id man who had fallen into a ditch on his way home, and being unable to get out, bawled lustily till morning when helping by a neighbor, he hastened home, began to scold his wife for not bearing him. and coming to his assistance, ‘ Lor! said the old lady, ‘1 heard your voice, and I knowed it, but I thought it was an owl!” The number of dogs in Constantiple was so great a short time ago, that three thou- sand were conveyed to an Isle of the Bos- phoroos, with provisions sufficient to last three days. On the fourth day the Imans ascended the minarets, and exhorted them to patience and resignation. He that in the world would rise, Must take the paper and aDveRTIsE. BY AUTHORITY.

The Lobos Islands and the Guano Question. Another Speck of War with England. On Monday last, in the United States Senate, Mr. Hamlin offered a resolution, which was adopted calling for copies of | and a copy of the instructions to the com- | mander of the United States squadron in | that quarter, on the subject of vessels load- ing with guano at those islands. | The Lobos islands, recently discovered | to be valuable on account of their depos- | its of guano, lie some forty-five miles to the Westward of the Peruvian coast.— | Peru has laid claimto them. England has recognized her claim, and the only | remaining difficulty is, whether the United States government has recognized, or ‘should or will recognize, the pretensions of Peru, although sustained in those pre- tensions by the government of England. A very brief statement, we apprehend, will settle this question. | In the year 1846, the bonds of the debt of Peru, due to her English creditors, a- mounting to some eight or ten milions of dollars, stood at the respectable figure of 874 percent. Shortly thereafter, the Pe- ruvian government—in legal hereditary possession of the Chincha islands, lying within a maritime league from the main coast, and rich in their deposits of the first quality of Guano—appropriated the pro- ceeds of the removal of these deposits to the liquidation of the English debt. Pe- ruvian bonds rose at once in the English market, for the penguins and other sea— fowl had left a substantial security up- on the islands for their redemption.—- Thus far, this guano business is all plain | sailing, and the forty five dollars per ton exacted by the Peruvian government of all comers for this manure, was a simple arrangement of legitimate trade between the rightful possessor and the purchaser. But the assumption of the sovereignty |of the Lobos Islands, by Peru, is another affair. It involves the question of an un- | lawful usurpation, on the part of Peru, and of a selfish connivance in the act, by the British government. Lord Malmesbury has declared, that ‘** Rowever advantage- ous it m'ght be to Great Britain, to appro- priate these islands, or to declare them common property, that itis impossible for Her Majesty’s government to violate in- ternational Jaw for national interests ;” and, therefore, the claim of possession, set up by Perd, must be conceded. About the last of May, or the first of June, of the present year, Her Majesty’s government, having accordingly decided upon recogni- | zing the sovereignty of Peru, sounded Mr. Abbott Lawrence, our Minister in London, upon the subject, and the result, we regret to say, is not very creditable, either to his vigilance, his prudence, or bis sagacity. Ignorant, perhaps, of the real merits of the case, Mr. Lawrence is understood to have consented, on the part of the United States, | to the mutual monopoly of the Lobos is- lands between Peru and Great Britain. — This concession being made known, the Peruvian bonds, in favor of England, which had been down to 874 per cent., rose to the premium of 106 per cent. ; for | the guano of the Lobos Islands, added to that of the Chincha Islands, had been set apart by Peru, at $45 per ton, more or less, | for the redemption of those bonds. But while such wasthe satisfactory com. plexion of this business in London, to the English Peruvian bond holders, and the Peruvian government, the act of usurpa- tion of Peru met with a different recep: tion in Washington. About the first of June last, Capt. James C. Jewett, master of the bark Philomela,in behalf of himself, and citizensof the United States generally, addressd a letter to Mr. Webster, Secre- | tary of State, inquiring whether citizens of the United States might take guano from the Lobos Islands without infringing upon the rights of the citizens, or subjects, or government, of any othernation. The official reply of Mr. Webster, after a de- liberate Cabinet consultation, was clear and conclusive in support of the doctrine of the “common property” of all nations in the guano of those islands. , as to weaken, that law! fer themselves to be fooled again, the band of THE PROSPECT. Good reader—-whig reader—-patriotic reader —we take up our pea as @ journalist on this oceasion with @ feeling of despondency which we shall not affect.to conceal.

THE PIERCE LETTER OF DENIAL. This production reminds one of the non—f committal epistles of the author’s wily friend } We heard } a locoloco declare a few days since, that * it} and associate, Martin Van Buren! was very ingeniously written.” Noedoubt of this. ‘Toa superficial reader, it would appear, at the first blush, to be a direct denial of all the charges contained in the Bill of Indictment against Pierce. But upon close inspection, it will be seen, that it denies nothing—that it is in no part satisfactory. So general is it in its terms, that the plauineet man inthe nation would pronounce it a cunning atlempt to evade the issue. Why did not Pierce tell in substance what he did say? As he has become a witness for himself, why did he not tell the whole truth 1— Why did he simply answer the leading ques- lions put to him?) He had a good opportunity to say whether he was fur or against the Fu- gitive Slave law—and he had also the very best chance to answer the question propounded by Scott, of Richmond, whether he will, if} elected, veto a bill repealing or modifying, so This be will not do. He has already evaded this issue, and he will continue to do it tothe last. By such a course he expects to keep together his freesoil allies. He is pandering to them and other prejudices. The Rev. Mr. Foss swore to the fact that Pierce did use the expressions attributed to him in his New Boston speech. He was the Re. porter and was paying strict attention. His report of the speech was published and circu- lated in January last, throughout the State of New Hampshire, and no one thought of deny. ing publicly its accuracy, until Pierce’s double dealing was exposed abuut a month since. One account of the speech was published in Con- cord, immediately under the eyes and nose of Pierce. Yethe did not disown it or dany its correctness! Why wasthis? There are ma- ny strong facts and circumstances which go to corroborate the statement of Foss. ‘The free— soil papers in Ohio that sustain Pierce have stereulyped the speech for the campaign, and are circulating it as genuine. They say Pierce did use the expressions, and therefure they go for him. ‘They denounce the Northern men who attempt tu rob Pierce of the * honor” of having made such a speech as dough-faces, j sold to the slave power of the South !

The South is not f * And Frazer’s Magazine, commenting on this letter, said “ that if it had not been for the good sense and good feelings of General Scolt, it would have been impossible, in spite of all the wisdom and forbearance of the enant Governor of New Brunswick, to prevent that singularly indiscreet and reckless functionary, Gov. Fairfield, at the head of the desperate band of adventurers over whom he presides, a flame the border, difficult to extinguish without considerable loss of blood and treasure on our part, and in all probability, permanent injury to the institutions and growing prosperity of the United States of America.” A British historian, speakiag of a celebrated General, says: “ No man can be a great sol- dier unless he possesses great administrative talent; and this talent is more likety to be brought forth and fostered by the business of war than by the management of cases al nist prisus ; yet, because of the habit of speaking, the lawyer is deemed capable of governing, while the soldier, whose lile is spent in action, and not in talk, is considered unversed in what are called the affairs of State.” We quote this just remark not because we have any predilec- tion for ‘military chieftains,’ merely as such, unaccompanied by other reoommendation, but because we think General Scott is unfairly dealt with in the present contest, in underrating | his qualifications for the office for which he is | now a candidate.

In 1814, one thousand men were raised in North Caro. lina to assist the Tennessee and Georgia vol. unteers against the Creek Indians. Graham was urgently solicited to take the command He consented and received the commission of major general. He arrived with his Corps just as the Creeks had submitted to General Jack. son, Coffee and Carroll, afier the batile at the Horse Shoe. For inany years after that war, General Graham was the senior officer of the fifth division of the State militia. Temperate in all things, he enjoyed remarkable health until about the time of his death, which occur. red from apoplexy, on the twelfih of November, 1836, at the age of seventy seven years. His | honored remains lie in a secluded spol, near the great road leading from Beattie’s Ford to Lincolnton. 0 The Baltimore Patriot, after com- menting at some length on the conduct of those Whigs who refused to support Gen. Scott because they had other preferences, remarks: There were more Whigs in 1848 who did not vote for Gen. Taylor, than can now be found who will vote for Gen. Scott, and the Democrats crowed loudly about it then, and up to the very day of election bet that Baltimore city and county would give 2500 majority fur Cass, and that he would carry the State by a decided majority—yet, after all, Taylor had Maryland by 3500 majority! So it will be | with Gen. Scott. He will carry Maryland, be- cause it is too late now for our good old Whig State, who never cast her vote fur any but a Whig, to fall away, and do that which would | be a blot on her fair escutcheon that could nev. er be wipedout. No,no. Maryland is Whig. GEN. BUTLER AND GEN. SCOTT. Gen. W. O. Butler, the Democratic can- didate for Vice President four years ago, | spoke thus of Gen. Scott at a recent ra- tification meeting in Kentucky : “Gen. Scott is known to the nation and to the world; and, as it is not my provitice to paint Whig portraits, | would be con- tent to examine his position before the world without saying any thing of him personally, but for the kuown positions we relatively occupied in the city of Mex- ico, and for the purpose of saying publicly, that, throughout our whole intercourse, though delicate and embarrassing, he ac- | quitted himself in such a manner as to win my esteem and admiration.” That is the truth well spoken. The people of the United States will, we trust, ratify Gen. Butler’s declarations by an overwhelming majority for the old Hero who is traduced by Locofocos as a cow- ard, a fool and a rogue. THREE MORE LOCOFOCO LIES NAIL- ED TO THE COUNTER! Some of the Locofoco papers at the South, and prominently among them the “ Raleigh Standard,” have recent!y blazoned at the head of their columns a remark said to have been made by General Scott in a conversation with Senator Wade, of Ohio. The following letter, | addressed to a gentleman in Norfolk, is pub- | lished in the * Courier,” of that city. It gives the lie to the slanderous charge against the old hero, and stops up the throats of those who are giving themselves to the dirty work of mis— representing and defaming him :—Ral. Reg. Wasuinoron, August 16, 1852. Wma. H. Granpery, Esq.,—Sir: I have the honor to receive your note of the 16th inst., stating that at the head of a.Democratic paper, published at Elizabeth City, N. C., called the “ Democratic Pioneer,” is, the following: “I WOULD SOONER CUT OFF MY RIGHT HAND THAN LEND IT TO THE SUPPORT OF SLAVERY. —Gen- eral Scott to Senator Wade.” All 1 can say of the above is, (what I have about in the papers,) that General Scott never made such a declaration to me ip my hearing, nor did I ever say, or pretend that he ever did, and I believe it to have been fabricated with a view to prejudice Southern people against the old General. And permit me to add, that the morbid sensitiveness of the Southern mind, on this subject, renders it peculiarly liable to such impositions ; and Northern demagogues, know- ing this, will not fail to take advantage of it.

Workmen were re- cently excavating for a foundation for a new building in a debris, evidently the re- mains of Gallo-Roman erection, when they came to the roof of an under-ground sort of cave, which time had rendered almost metalic hardness. An opening was how- ever affected, when one of the workmen instantly exclaimed that there was a light at the bottom of the cavern. The parties present entered when they found a bronze sepulchral lamp of remarkable workmanship suspended from the roof by chains of the same metal. It wasentire- ly filled with a combustible substance, which did not appear to have diminished although the probability is the combustion has been going on forages. This discov- ery will, we trust, throw some light on the question which has caused so many dis- putes among learned antiquaries, although it is stated that one was discovered at Viterbo in 1850, from which hereafter, no fresh information was afforded on the sub- ject.

The bands are stretched with powerful ma- chines, made expressly for that purpose, and the diffi- culty of bands stretching and ripping under the com- mon way of making them, is entirely removed by this process. Bands made in this way will hold their width evenly, run true, and have a uniform bearing on the drum or pulley, and will give from 15 to 20 per ernt. more power than those made in the ordinary way.— They are made out of the best selected oak tanned Spanished Leather, and no pains will be spared to make them equal to the best Northern bands, and will be sold as low as they can be brought in New York.

A. Atwalb attend to your avocation ; avoid ale-houses and artful women. B. Be benevolent, but not prodigal ; bury all bickerings in the bosom of forget- fulness. C. Contrive to collect cash and keep it. D. Do your duty and defy the devil. E. Early endeavor to eradicate every error, both of bead and heart. P. Fight fairly when you fight; bot the better way is not to fightatall. Fid- dle for no fools. G. Grace, goodness, gumption, and a little goose-grease, enable a man to slip through the world mighty easy. Get them and glory in them. H. Harbor hope in your heart, if you would be happy ; but, hark ye, hope can’t render rotten the rope of the hangman. I. Inquisitiveness is insufferable ; in- dulge not in it. J. Juleps may be called the juice of joy and the yeast of jest; but too much joking often destroys the joviality of the social circle. K. Kindness kindles the fire of friend- ship. A kiss always avails more than a kick. L. Love the ladies; look before you leap; eschew loaferism. M. Make not mischief by meddling with other folks’ matters. ; N. Never be caught napping excépt in the night time. O. Order is heaven's first law— obey it. P. Pursue the plain path of probity, and put in practice what you will give in precept. Q. Quarrel not, quibble not, be not fond of asking questions, or addicted to queries. R. Rumruins respectability; renounce, renew and renovate, _ S. Seek salvation, oh ye sinners! be- come saints and ye are safe. T. Take time by the forelock ; try to turn every moment to account. U. Union unitesto unity; in the whole universe there is unison ; be ye, therefore, u forthe sake of unison. . Vanity bas no connection with val- or—remember that. W. Women and wine bring want and woe and wretchedness when wickedly in- dulged in. X. 'Xtra’xertions accomplish ’xtraor- dinary ends. Y. Yield to no tyrant; yeomen and their yoke-fellows are lords of the soil. Z. Zig-zagging is characteristic of a zany; take a straight course through life and zealously pursue it. &. & mind your own business and let others alone, &c — Dow. Jr. LUCID. The honest sons ot St. Nicholas have occa. sionally a very singular method of expressing themselves. One day last summer, one of them, who had been at work in a corn field, came limping up to the farm house his hand grasping the calf of his leg, and his face expressive of great pain. “ Vat ish de matter mit you, Hauns?” ex claimed the good natured host, who sat at the door smoking his pipe. “ Oh!” explained the sufferer, “ pit mine. self very pad mil a snake, out ina ter field!” And he pressed the wounded part with a liger grasp. “ You pit yourself with a enake !” exclaimed the terrified and humane proprietor; “den vy you don’t make fast and tie a bandage mit your leg, else you will get a coftin in your pody !” COMFORTS OF AN EDITOR.

It he does not fill at least one column every week with something laughable his fulio is pro. nounced uninteresting. If a public nuisance should exist, notice of it should «ffend ; and not to notice it would be cen. sured. If he does not publish all the marriages an deaths that happen “in all the world locas miles round,” whether he hears of them or not he is not fit for an Editor, If every paper does not contai tion of suicides, horrid murders and melancholy accidents, it is dull and an unwelcome visitor.

The good citizens of Wheeling, Va., are going to accomplish a victory over the decision of the United States Supreme Court, which ordered the bridge to be ta- ken down, or alterations of a most expen- sive character to be made. The people of Wheeling having appealed to Congress to legalize the structure ; the Senate and House of Representatives have passed the bill by a large vote. The steamboats on the Ohio must shorten their pipes, and it is our opinion they can do this without any injury to their speed. We took the ground, when the decision was made, that the U. S. Supreme Court exceeded its authority by making sach a decision ; this was the opinion of Roger Tanney, Chief Judge, and his reasoning appeared to us so clear for dissenting from the de- | cision of his brethren on the bench, that | we could not bat coincide with his con- | clusions.— Scientific Amcrican.

In slaking lime, salt. brine is better than water. #18;-The chopping. or grinding of grain, td'befed to stock, operates as saving of | at.least.twenty-five per cent. | -14.

The only rational explanation of the large consumption of ammonia in the growth of cereals, that we have seen, is given by Prof. Way, chemist to the Royal Agrieulieral Society of England.— | _ He bas been experimenting for some time on _ the absorptive powers of clay and soils, and dis- coveied that ammonia combines coemically with silicic acid, in conjunction with the silicate | of ‘allumnia, forming a double salt. Placed in @ large quantity of water, he found that the sil. icate ammonia was dissolved, but not the sili- porcelain clay. When a clear solution of sili. cate of ammonia was evaporated in a bowl, there resulted on the inside of the vessel a thin layer of glass, showing that the ammonia bad departed with the vapor of water, and lefi the silicic acid (flint) behind. The straw of wheat and the stems of all cereal grasses, are known to contain a large amount of flint, and that the stems of clover and peas do not; neither do tur. nips, beets or carrots, abound in silica. Prof. | | ammonia applied seven years in succession by Mr. Lawes with such marked and uniform re. sults ‘and the well known extraordinary value | of ammonia in the dung and urine of animals, may be accounted for by assuming that this al. kali serves to convey soluble flint from the soi! | dissipated into the atmosphere. That a great | deal of water enters into the roots of growing | plants passes through their cells and vessels, | abundantly from their entire surtace, but most | abundantly from their exceedingly porous leaves is generally understood ; but what this water | takes from the earth, and the precise condition | of the food of plants so imbibed, are subjects | now undergoing, as they well deserve, the most | rigid investigation. Peas, clover and root crops furnish valuable food for domestic animals that , heed no flint in their systems, and also valuable food for wheat plants, that do require much flint. These are curious facts, which no good farmer | will question. Ammonia, then, in the wise and ‘beautiful economy of nature, contributes large. ‘ly at one time in an organized form, to make | the flesh and bones of animals, and at another, to build up the flinty culms of the most useful | bread bearing cereals. ‘The importance of a | bright, hard, ylass-covered straw, in preventing | rust on maturing wheat, we have noticed and ‘commented upon for thirty years. But not knowing anything of the recently discovered sisicate of ammonia, our reliance has been on potash and soda to dissolve flint, and fit it for enterifig the roots of wheat, corn, rye, oats and barley. potash, soda, lime or magnesia, because the | several functions of another alkali are betier understood. Not to dwell too long on ammo nia, we may say that 1000 pounds of pea vines will yield as much of it toa wheat soil, as 7000 pouods of wheat or rye straw. Hence pea vines and clover are among the best renovators knowea to modern agriculture. To prevent the heaving out of wheat by frost ditching’or draining is the proper remedy.— Many now pass a ruller over their wheat fields early in the spring, just as the frost leaves the wards placing young people beyond the cordance with general experience, which ground. This compresses the earth about the loosened roots, and in effect resets the plants. To avoid damage by insects afier wheat is ——S—=———— utinvously with oue pounds of the muriate cate of alumnia, which is simply pure pipe, or Way suggests that the sulphate and muriate of into the stems of plants that need it, and is then | We do not now think any the less of | ir injury. Among Preventives late seeding is the most popular, by which the fly is képt off in sltuma but not in the spring. Rich strong Jand, and vigorous plants suffer least from the depredations of ihe Hessian'fly, As to the quantity of seed that should be sown or drilled to the acré, it depends entirely on the quality of the soil, and size of seed or berries of wheat. Ifthe grains are large,.a bushel will contain only balt the germs that exist in the same, quantity of small seeds. When thrashed with a machine, many seeds are bro- | ken and worthless and therefore more grain per acre should be used, Alter duly considering all t is the best judge of the amount of seed that his land requires. Rust, smut and mildew, are parasitic plants, and often quite destructive, par- ticularly the first named. By keeping the ground free from weeds and grass by clean culture, aad properly drained, the danger of rust is much diminished. Smut may be prevented by wash. ing seed wheat in a strong solution of bluestone or in a strong brine, before sowing, and drying it in slacked lime, or caustic ashes. Be care. ful not to permit the wheat io remain more than four or five hours in brine, as the salt may kil! the germs olf the grain, if it soaks into the seed. Where one has good land, we can discover no satisfactory reason why it will not pay to horse. hve wheat in this country, as it does in Eng. land. Our cotton, corn and tobacco are thus cultivated. Our shovel plows and cultivators are modified horse-hoes, and run between rows of growing plants. If any reader contemplates sowing guano to | add to his crop of wheat, it may not be amiss | to inform bim that the lumps in the manure should be moistened with water and crushed as in making mortar, with the back of the hoe before sowing. Some sifi the manure to sepa. rate lumps, but it is not necessary if the hoe is properly used. The guano is put upon a barn floor, or that of a corn crib, or upon planks laid down for the purpese. About 200 pounds of Peruvian should be applied to an acre, or 300 of Patagonian, to be barrowed or plowed in with the seed, { ‘| ONE OF THE WOMEN. The Rhode Island Temperance Advo- cate gives us the following incident, which may well be imitated by many in our State, and it is to be hoped that the wives, and mothers, and sisters of Massachusetts will be as active in our June election, as the rummies will be in deceiving the ig- norant. If the ladies cannot vote, they can exert a most important and powerful influence on those with whom they asso- ciate in secoring votes for the non-suspen- sion of the Maine Law. Let the following noble act be emula- a by every wile and mother, viz: “In Foster, there was an intemperate man who bad promised his wife that he | would vote for the Maine law candidates | for the Senate and House. On the morn- | ing of the election day he was enticed in- to the tavern, and treated by his anti-law associates till he was drunk. His wife heard of it, searched him out, and got him home. Here she gave him an_ emetic, and got him sober, and then borrowed a | horse and wagon and drove him to the polls. He voted for the Maine law can- didates, and his single vote prevented the election of a rum representative. The ‘\result of it is, that we got one, and possi- |ply two Maine law men from that town.’ me ——-— —— ECONOMY IN A FAMILY. | There is nothing which goes so far to- | reach of poverty, as economy in the man- agement of their domestic affairs. It mat- ters not whetber a man furnisb little or harvested, most men understand the value of ; much for the family, if there is a contin- sunning the grain, and tbe advantage of storing it in the chag. We have never seen the wheat weevil, (30 common in Virginia and the States south of it,) at the North, although it may pre- vail there. The insects most troublesome io New York, are flies ; the one called Hessian fly, (cecidomyia destructor,) and the other the “ Wheat fly, or Wheat midge,” (cécidomia trits. ci.) The latter deposits its eggs or nits on the heads of wheat when in blossom, and just as the seedsare forming. The nits hatch in alew days, and the minute yellow grubs either find themselves in-the pulp of the nascent seed, or eat their way into it, and there grow to full ma. ‘turity, at the expense of its starch and gluten. The larva of this fy is often mis called a wee- vil, It.has been uncommonly severe on the wheat crops in Onondago, Cayuga, Seneca and Wayne counties, in New York, this year, and also in some parts of Obio.

MOST BRUTAL OUTRAGE. On Wednesday evening last, five or six miles west of Staunton, fonr stout Irishmen employed on the Railroad, in that vicini- ty, by force, took from the vehicle in which | she was riding, a young woman, and vio. lated her person in a most brutal manner. She was in company with a young man, to whom the young lady clung for protec- tion but both were overpowered. The young man left her to obtain assis- tance, and on the alarm being given, to the credit of the neighborhood, be it spo- ken, prompt and efficient aid was render- ed, and hot pursuit made to apprehend these unprincipled villains, which was not effected until a late hour of the night. Officer Trotter, to whom much praise is due in company with four or five others, | succeeded, after untiring exertions, in | overhauling the scoundrels, and they are | now safely confined in prison. At an ex- | amination Court held on Thursday they were fully identified, and are now await- | ing a regular trial. A repetition of an offence like this will be the signal for an uprising of our peo- ple and that class of our population guil- | ty of such enormities, will be hung with- | out judge or jury or driven out of the com- | munity at the point of the bayonet. The | indignation of the people is great, and it is with pride, we record the facf, that the services of the entire community in which the outrage was committed, were tender- ed on this occasion. The two young persons, we understand, | had started with the intention of getting | married, when they were met by these | ruftians who defiled the person of the be- trothed. The parties have since left to unite their hands and their fortunes. The called Court is to be held on next Friday, but the final trial will not take place until the sitting of the Superior Court, the lst of November.

Death Scene of Robert Rantoul.—Hor- ace Mann, in his eulogy’on Mr. Rantoul, telated the following touching instance of conjugal affection, in connection with the last illness of the deceased :— . “Yet Mr. Rantoul, even amid the ago- nies of: his disease, had lucid intervals. There were convictions in his mind so deep seated, and affections in his heart so strong, as to stand unmoved by any tem. pest of delirium. On being telegraphed respecting the illness of her husband, bis devoted and excellent Jady, then in Mas- sachosetts, hastened to-his succor. She arrived here at six o’clock on the morn- ing of the day he died. Instantly her voice wooed back consciousness and, rea- son. He seized ber hand in his and held it antil he breathed his last. Even when his mind wandered, this grasp of affection was unclenched. Death only relaxed it. The swelling of the disease had closed his eyes, and it was beyond the power of muscular contraction to open them. He desired to have them opened by mechan- ical means ; that he might once more be- hold the features and the face whence, for more than twenty years, the light of love had shone down into his heart.— Thank God, sir, that, amid all the alien- ations and strifes and hostilities which seem sometimes to flow out of the human bosom as though it were their natural fountain, there are also affections, sympa- thies, tenderness and loves which are in- sepable from it; allied to it by a more congenial! affinity ; and which we always may find there, ‘ close as green to the ver- dant leaf, or color to the rose.’” Terrific Tornado.—We understand that a most terrific and destructive tornado passed across the lower end of Richmond County on Tuesday night last. Its course was from South to North. . We have but a very imperfect account of its devasta- tion. We have heard however that Staf- ford Gibson, Esq. on the stage road, suf.- fered mach damage in fences, and crops. On the upper road, we are informed that a Mr. M’Millan had his dwelling swept from its foundation, together with bis out houses and fences. At the time his house was blowndown, himself and family were collected at the door and all of them es- caped unhurt. Near bis workshop stood a new heavy cart just finished, which was totally demolished, even the wheels were torn to pieces, the spokes twisted off, and scattered in every direction. The tract /engaged in a correspondence with un- /married men, unless they suppose a mar- | of the tornado was fortunately, very _nar- |row, we consequently have reason to riage contract exists between them.

GaLzs & SeaToN—GENTLEMEN : I observe that in a debate in the Senate, as re- ported in the ‘Baltimore Sun,’ one day last | week, the following paragraph appears in a | sprech of Mr. Manoum, of North Carolina : Mr. Mancum alluded to the great impor | tance to the country and to the Whig party that the consistency of the head of the Central Com. mittee of that powerful and-to-be victorious par- ty should be maintained. He opposed the whole bill. He saw no reason for taking away the printing of the Departments to give it tu the political presses. No complainis had ever been heard against the contract system as re— garded the printing fur the Departments. “Mr. Douglas said that there were com. plaints ; he could show that the system as prac- tised there was a perfect mockery. “Mr. Mancum said perhaps there were oc- casional petty paliry tricks committed in the Depariment, Very recenily one bad been com. mitted, and that, tuo, by the great man of the Whig party ; he meant the Secretary of Siate ; a trick unworthy of him, unworthy of bis posi- tion, and disgraceful to his party, so far as be could affect it, which was butto a slight extent and which shortly would not be to any extent.” Upon inquiring, through a friend, I learn from Mr. Mangum that his observations were intended to apply to the appointment for the “ Wilmington Commercial,” conducted b Mr. Loring, as a paper to publish the laws in North Carolina ; and to the appointment for the same purpose of the * Knoxville Whig” in Tennes. see, The * Wilmington Commercial” was ap— pointed as a paper to publish the laws upon what was esteemed good Whig authority ; ‘and if Mr. Mangum bad seen fit to consult the mem. bers of Congress from his own State, including eminent Whigs, he would have learned that there is not a more respectable journal ia North Carolina than the ** Wilmington Commercial ;” that the editor, Mr. Loring, “is a highly re- spectable man, of irreproachable character ;” and that his paper has the largest circulation of any Whig paper published in Wilmington, the most populous and far the most commercial! city or town in North Carolina. I refer Mr, Mangum on this subject to his speech in Con. gress. . As to the appointment of the “ Knoxville Whig” as one of the papers to publish the laws in Tennessse, it is sufficient to say that that appointment was made by me upon the express recommendation of a majority of the Whig members of Congress from that State. So far as I remember, I never read a single number of either of these newspapers. T hope I may be pardoned, under the circum. stances, for this obirusion on the public, so un- ueval with me, to delend my official conduct against mere random viluperation, DANIEL WEBSTER. FRESHET IN THE SAVANNAH RIVER. Attanta, Aucust 30.—By the Georgia rail. road (rain which arrived here this evening from of the destruction of life and property in that city and vicinity, up to the time the cars left tbat city, yesterday (Sunday) afiernoon at 5 o’- clock. Both the bridges across the Savannah river have been carried away, together with all the bridges across the canal, with the exception olone. The water rose four feet high in Broad street... One o1 two houses near the cotton fac. tories were washed from their foundations, and several lives were lost. ‘The cars of the Geor. gia road could not approach nearer than one mile of the city,the mail being carried tothe post office in a canal boal.

THE GRATITUDE AND ADMIRATION OF A FREE PEOPLE ARE DUE TO MAJOR GE- | NERAL SCOTT.— Washington Union, April 10, 1847, * Gen. Scott is an older soldier than Gen. Taylor, one who is at least equally, if not more accomplished, and who has distingui himself by more and as brill- jant battles daring the war, who captured Vera Cruz and the Castle and the Capitol of Mexico, and one, too who has more qualities of a civilian, and is better known asa Whig.”— Washington Uunion of 1848, 8. The series of acts of the 31st Congress, commonly known as the Compromise or Adjustment, (the act for the recovery of fugitives from labor included,) are re- ceived and acquiesced in by the Whigs of the United States as a final settlement, in principle and substance, of the subjects to which they relate, and so far as these acts are conoerned, we wil] maintain them, and insist on their strict enforcement, until time and experience shall demonstrate the necessity of further legislation to guard against the evasion of the laws on the one hand and the abuse of their powers on the — ere Seth ing their pregent efficiency to carry out the requiremen of the Constitution ; and we deprecate all further agita- tion, whenever, wherever, or however made; and we will maintain this settlement as essential to the nation- ality of the Whig party and the integrity of the Union, —{ Resolution of the Whig National Oonvention.) ; ‘If Gen. Scott and bis friends had continued to stand where they stood when we wrote, and if he had not ac- cepted a nomination on a finaljty platform, there is no doubt that any of the prominent candidates before the Democratic Convention would have been defeated by him. But he is now presented as the express champi- on of “finality ;” of which there is not a word in the Democratic platform.— N. Y.

The Whigs of the State will rejoice to learn that the Whig Mass Meeting in Iredell, on the 9th and 10th instant, was a grand affair—a real rousing, old-fashioned gathering of the people. The spirit of former times animated the Whigs; and the roaring cannon, the flash. ing banners, the tall flag staff, the teeming thousands, the powerful and convincing orato. ry, the altentive ear, and the hearty huzza! were but so many evidences of reviving life and reviving strength. It was a glorious time we had there, and people abroad had better sieve it. But to commence at the beginning : Thurs. day was an inauspicious day: it was cloudy and rainy, to such a degree that “ every body” said there would be no meeting. But Thurs. day night found the Hotels in Statesville cramm.- ed and jammed, so that a great many persons had to sleep on hard pallets or no where, and to eat scraps or nothing. On that night noth. ing was done, except sending up a handsome balloon, and firing minute guos, which was in- tended merely to let the neighbors know that something was going on in Statesville. Friday morning the 10th, opened under more discouraging circumstances still: The rain poured in torrents for several hours, continuing, with more or less violence up to half past nine o’clock, A. M. But the cannons, brought up by the spirited delegates from Mecklenburg and the representatives of that sterling Whig County, Cabarrus, kept up a lively fire, so that the roar of the elements was almost forgotten amidst the roar of artillery, Andto add still more to the interest of the morning, the people came pouring in from the surrounding country and adjacent counties, Gen. Dockery among them —drenched, it is trae—many of them wet to the skin—vaitil, by twelve o’elock, there was a tbrong in attendance which we heard vari- ously estimated from two to five thousand. At 10 o'clock, the ringing of bells and the roar of cannon, announced the arrival of the hour for speaking. The people rapidly con- centrated at the grove of the Presbyterian Church. Here a siand and seats were pre- pared ; and bard by, several great rude tables drew out their long proportions, prophetic of a feast not very distant. The speakers were welcomed to the ros- trum by the fire of cannon, and by the cheers Dockery, three for Governor Morehead, three cheers for Gen. Young of Mecklenburg, three for Mr. Walker, of Guilford, and three for old We a ER ee Seager ies +e a “8 i which distinezively Democratic parties, and “asion rT ag i 8 ished at the ms, 2 pd whieh have m time | ; to the hands of Winfield Scott, and at the sig- the unpreces has atiended him throughout. ©"Owithe dther hand, we, were equally astonished | ure, Eom mon man as Gi shave bad the good ti so a high honors 8a for bim by those who sup. port hint for the Presidency. There.were great men in their ranks, why select one: unknown to the world? There was Cass, Buchanan, Marcy, , Douglass,- Houston, and others. —* These men are known to fame, known to the world—-have rendered services worthy of re- ward—how is it they were all set aside and Gen. Pierce elevated above them? Truly, this is an enigma, a most unaccountable trifling with the good sense and true interest of the people. Gen. D. closed his address between 12 and 1 o'clock, resuming his-seat amidst the hearty applause of the people, and the roar of canon, Walter Caldwell, Esq., then read a most in- teresting letter from the Hon. Wm. A. Gra. ham, which, for the want of room, we are una. ble to give in the present number. The sig- nal for dinner was then given, and the multi- tude, well pleased with the exercises of the morning, repaired to the tables to diseuss each for himself, the more familiar subjects of roast beef, barbecued pork, mutton, vegetables, &c., which were offered in greatest profusion. At 2 o’clock the people resumed their seats near the stand, when Mr. Williamson of Char. lotte, read an able letter from B. F. Moore, Esq. Gov. Morehead was then introduced. He was received with rapturous applause. Having expressed the pleasure it affurded him in once more meeting with bis fellow citizens of Ire- dell, he launched out into one of bis peculiar popular speeches with an ease and grace which threw into the shade all his former efforts of of the kind. He stormed the ramparts of our adversaries, and exposed their weakness and error. He examined Gen. Pierce until there was nothing left of hia:x—the peuple, the while, mentally reckoning, “ nothing from nothing and nothing remains!” But the Governor took oc casion to remind them that they were in dan- ger of despising a most formidable, adversary —not in himself formidable, truly, but in that view, even, entitled to respect,—but dangerous as the candidate of the Democratic party. That party would spare no effort to secure his elec. tion, and unless the people would arise in their strength and prefer an old public servant and tried man, WinrreLp Scott, than whom no man has done more to establish and perpetuate the fair fame and glory of the Country, we would be beaten. He did not ask his fellow citizens to despise Gen. Pierce, as it was not his intention to stigmatise or abuse him. But he did ask them to remember the bonor and fame of the Country ; and when they went to the ballot box, to vote for a man that the people knew—a man known to the world either by his deeds of valor, or his renown as a States. man. He did protest against the election of a man at the mention of whose name as Presi- dent of this great and glorious Republic eve. ry intelligent American traveller in Europe would blush; and he hoped and believed that the people would protest agalnst it, and by their voles prevent it. It is impossible for us to do any thing like justice to this speech as a whole,or even to one particular branch of it ; and what we have said here, is in our own imperfect words, and not in those of Governor Morehead. His ad. dress was comprehensive—taking in the policy, measures, professions, and practice of the two parties, which he faithfully delineated and fairly compared. He was repeatedly and enthusias._ tically cheered during its delivery, which occu. pied the whole afternoon ; and which, at its close, elicited the warmest expressions of sat- isfaction. The meeting then adjourned until after sup- per. At seven o’clock the people re-assembled in the grove, which was brilliantly illuminated, the great old oaks which have with.stood the blasts of two hundred winters, serving as chan. diliers on the occasion. It was an interesting scene. And when the spectator looked around and saw ata little distance, the bold out-lines of the ancient * Centre” church where were enacted some of the most thrilling incidents of the Revolutionary struggle; and in another direction the dim stone wall which encloses the yard where now sleeps the remains of some of the best Whigs who battled in treedom’s cause in those memorable days, and reflected that the object of the present assemblage was to perpetuate in undimmed lustre, the glorious heritage of pir fathers, the interest of the scene and occasion was heightened to a degree of ty “with « patient |” and searching comparison of the two candi. date¥ for thé highest “office” in ‘the’ gift of the | f- and che something else worth'your remembering, if you’ cévet their Smiles, or should be captivated by their charme.—But it is no part of our business io mention terms between you and them in thatcase.

DISTRICT CONVENTION. - At a meeting of the delegates repre- senting the several counties in this the 2d Congressional District, held at Statesville onthe 10th inst., the following proceed- ings were had, to wit; anae On motion, Col. T. A. Allison was.ape! pointed President, and J. J. Bruner, Seere-| tary. The President explained the. ob« ject of the meeting, which, he - said. was called for the purpose. of chosing a Presi- dential Elector for the 2d Congressional District. « , In view of the shortness of the time before the Presidential election shall come. on, and the extent of the District, H. C. Jones, Esq., proposed the appointment of. one sub-elector in each county in the District; and that the delegates from each.county designate a suitable person in their re- spective counties, to fill that appointment. This proposition meeting the views of the Convention, the following persons were designated and accordingly appoint- ed by the unanimous vote of the Conven- tion, to wit: For Rowan, Dr. J. G. Ramsay. For Wilkes, Mr. C. A. Parks. For Iredell, R. J. McDowell, Esq. For Watauga. Mr. Jonathan Horton. For Yadkin, F. B. McMillian, Esq. For Catawba, M. L. McCorkle. Esq. For Davie, G. A. Miller, Esq. For Surry, John M. Cloud, Esq. For Alexander, A. C. McIntosh, Esq. For Ashe. A. B. McMillian, Esq. Mr. Bogle, of Taylorsville, then nomina- ted the Hon. N. Boypen, for Elector of this District. This nomination was warmly seconded by a number of delegates, and no other name being proposed, Mr. Boypen was unanimously elected. On motion, it was ordered that the Pre- sident and Secretary inform Mr. Boyvpen of his appointment, and that they do so with the least possible delay. On motion, these proceedings were or- dered to be published in the North Caro lina Whig. and Carolina Watchman. The Conventio» then adjourned, T. A. ALLISON. Cbhm’n. J. J.

And we suspect that divers other honorabie gentlemen were so drunk that they did not know exactly what Polk, or any one else did say. The Wash. ington correspondent of the New York Courier and Enquirer, noticing the habits of the House, says, “ perhaps Mr. STaNty may have reach. ed the seat of the disease, and exposed the cause of these derelictions, in calling the at. tention of the Speaker to the fact, that some of the committee rooms were frequented and employed as ‘ common groceries’ ”’ It is charitable, and we hope also fair, to presume that there is a majority of sober mem. bers of the House; but, unforwnately, the drunkards appear in sufficient numbers and in. fluence to give character to the hody. It is time that the public press every where speak out in unmistakeable tones, and thus assist the sober and decent portion of the House to re trieve the reputation of our great Representa- live body. {t were criminal to talk delicately and mince phrases about the honor of Con. gress. and the vulgarity of making exposures, when the wretched dissipation and licentious ness whick abound during the sessions bring disgraee upon the country. Let the honest masses see the facts, in their hideousness, and the remedy will soon be applied at the ballot box.—Greensboro’ Patriot. There is also a spirit-ual disease in the Se- nate, which ought to be cured. [The interests of our own Carolina, there is reason to fear, ought to be attended to in this respect. ]— Drunkards, blackguards, and gamblers are to be found in the Senate as well as in the House of Representatives, if common fame is worth any thing ; and we heartily second the views of the Patriot on the subject. We have heard of certain members of Congress whom their friends were afraid to visit at their rooms, not knowing but their calls might prove unfor. tunate in’ the discovery of habits in which such members are khown cgnstantly to indulge.

A DRI se score and upwards, sitting bythe way side | What eyes beheld the many bun- dred steps that one by one, with: imper- | ceptible gradation, led him down—down:, down, to the lowest depth of _ suf- fering and ruin? For years before it was braited abroad through the parish, in his native Scotland, that Gabriel Mason was addicted fo drink, his wife used to sit weeping alone, when ber sons and dangh- ters were out at their workin the fields, and the infatuated man, fierée in the ex- citement of raw ardent opts Meee. lessly raging and storming through every nook of that once so péateful tenement which for many happy years bad never been disturbed by the loud vaice of anger or reproach. His eyes were seldom turn, ed on his unhappy wife, except. with a sollen scowl or fiery wrath; but when they did look on wiih kindness, there was also a rueful and self-upbraiding in the expression of his eyes, on account of rhis cruelty ; and at sight of such transitory tenderness, her heart overflowed with for: giving affecti@, and her sunk eyes with anendurable @ars. But neither domestic sin. nor domestic sorrow will cenceal from the eyes and the ears of men ; and at last Gabriel Mason’s name was the byword in the mouth of the scoffer. To regain his character seemed to him, in bis desperation, beyond the power of man, and against the decree of God: so be delivered himself up, like a slave, to one appetite, and ina few years his whole bansehold bad gone to destruction. wife was a matron almost in the prime of | life, when she died ; but as she kept wear. ing away to the other world, her face told that her years had been too many in this. Het eldest son unable,: in pride and shame, to lift up his eyes at kirk or mar- ket, went away to the city, and enlisted in a regiment about to embark on foreign service. His two sisters went to take farewell of him, but never returned: one it is said having died of a fever in the infirmary just as if she bad been a pauv- per.-and thé other—for the sight of sin and sorfow and shame, and suffering is ruinous—gave herself op, in her beauty, an easy prey to a destroyer, and doubt- less bas run Her course of agonies, and is now no more. The rest of the family dropped down, one by one, out of sight, into inferior situations in far off places ; but there was a curse, it was thought over the family, and of none of them did ever a favorable report come to their na- tive parish ; while be, the infatuated sin- ner, whose vice seemed to have worked all the wo, remained in the chains of his tyrannical passion, nor seemed ever for more than the short term of a day, to cease hugging them to his heart. Semblage of all that is most venerable in the character of Scotland’s peasantry ! Image of a perfect patriarch, walking out to meditate at even tide! What a noble forehead! ‘Features how bigh, dignified and composed! .There, ‘sitting in the shade of that old side tree, he seems some religious missionary, travelling to and fro over the earth, seeking out sin and sor- row that be may tame them under the word of God, and change their very be- ingvinto piety’and peace. Call him nota hoary bypocrite for he cannot help that noble—that venerable—that apostolic as- ee ars dignified figure av if bent gent- y by time, loath’ to touch it with too bea- vy a hand—that holy sprinkling over his furrowed temples, of the silver-soft, and the snow white bair—these are the gilts of gracious Nature all—and Nature will not.reclaim them, but in the tomb. There is Gabriel Mason—the Drunkard. WOMANS GRAVE. | We can pass by the tomb of a man with somewhat of a calm indifference ; but when we survey the grave of a female, a sigh involuntarily escapes os. With the boly name of woman we associate every soft, tender and delicate affection. We think of-ber asthe young and bash{u! vir- gin, with eyessparkling, and cheeks crim- soned with each impassioned feeling of as the chaste and virtuous matron, tried with the tollies of the world and preparing for the grave, to which she must soon descend.

THE GRATITUDE AND ADMIRATION OF ,; A FREE PEOPLE ARE DUE TO MAJOR GE- NERAL SCOTT.—Washington Union, April 10, | 1847. | “Gen. Scott is an older soldier than Gen. Taylor, | one who is at least equally, if not more accomplished, | and who has distinguished himself by more and as brill- ‘ jant battles during the war, who captured Vera Cruz | and the Castle and the Capitol of Mexico, and one, too | who has more qualities of a civilian, and is better known | asa Whig.”— Washington Uunion of 1848. | 8. The series of acts of the 3ist Congress, commonly | known as the Compromise or Adjustment, (the act for ‘ the recovery of fugitives from labor included,) are re- | ceived and acquiesced in by the Whigs of the United | States as a final settlement, in principle and substance, of the subjects to which they relate, and so far as these acis are concerned, we will maintain them, and insist on their strict enforcement, until time and experience shall demonstrate the necessity of further legislation to ' guard against the evasion of the laws on the one hand and the abuse of their powers on the other, not impair- ing their present efficiency to carry out the requirements of the Constitution; and we deprecate all further agita- tion, whenever, wherever, or however made; and we will maintain this settlement as essential to the nation- ality of the Whig party and the integrity of the Union. , —[Resolution of the Whig National Convention.) “Ff Gen. Scott and his friends had continued to stand where they stood when we wrote, and if he had not ac- cepted a nomination on a finality platform, there is no doubt that any of the prominent candidates before the Democratic Convention would have been defeated by him.

Their stock of Ready Made Clothing is large and varied, comprising every grade of quality and price. They have also an extremely heavy stock ot SHOES AND BOOTS, &c., &c. All of which were purchased for cash, and at the most advantageous prices, and will be found adapted to the wants of the community at large. All wishing to buy Goods to sell again, are particu- larly invited to call and examine their stock before pur- chasing elsewhere, as it is utterly out_of the question for any establishment to offer greater inducements than will be offered here. Cash dealers are invited to call, and get such bar- gains as they never obtained before. 25000 LBS. BACON.

WHAT ARE TREES MADE OF? If we were to take up a handful of soil and examine it under the microseope, we should probably find it to contain a num- ber of fragments of wood, small broken pieces of branches, or leaves, or other parts of the tree. If we could examine it chémically we should find yet more strik- ingly that-it was nearly the same as wood in its composition. Perhaps, then, it may be said, the young plant obtains its wood from the earth in which it grows. The following experiment will show whether this conjecture is likely to be correct or not: Two bundred pounds of earth were dried in an oven, and afterwards put into a large earthen vessel; the earth was then moistened with rain water, and a willow tree, weighing five pounds, was planted therein. During the space of five years, the earth was carefully wa- tered with rain water. The willow grew and flourished, and to prevent the earth being mixed with the fresh earth being blown upon it by winds, it was covered with a metal plate full of very minute holes, which would exclude everything but air from getting access to the earth below it. After growing in the earth for five years, the tree was removed, and on being weighed, was found to have gained one handred andsixty:four pounds. And this estimate did not include the weight of the leaves.or dead branches which in five yeats fell from the tree. Now came the applicatin of the test.— Was all this obtained from the earth !— Jt bad not sensibly diminished ; but in or- der to make the experiment conclusive, it was again dried in an oven. and put in Astonishing was the result —the earth weighed only two ounces less than it did when the willow was first planted io it! yet the tree* had gained one hundred and #8ty*four pounds. Man- ifestly, then, the wood.thus gained in the space of time was not obtained from the earth; we are therefore obliged to repeat our question,“ Where does the wood come from ?” We are left with only two alter- natives: the water with which it was feelé, soonét or lafér, who bas been seduced by the lururiant oterstreiched welcome of its | hie | oning of ite gracetel plumes, in giving ita place | the act making sppropriations for | |, their homé circle. For a few years, while the tree is growing, it bas, to be sure, @ fair and specious look, You feel almost, as you look at ite round shooling up as siraighi, and almost as fast as a rocket, crowned by such a luxuriant tofi verdure, that you have got | young palm tree before your door, that can | ‘ f that | * flowery codniry” from wheace you have bor. rowed it, and you swear to stend by it against | all slanderous assertioné, But, alas! you are greener in your experiénce then the Tartar in his leaves.

Can it be? Were those great ocean spaces of, wood, which are as old as man’s introdnction into Eden, and wave in their vast and solitary luxdriance over the fer- tile hills and plains of South America— were all these obtained from the thin air? Were the paticles which unite to form our battle-ships, Old Englands’; walls of wood, ever borne the world about not only on wings of air, but actoally as air themselves?

Therefore, we be- lieve that the’day is here when the tatier- nacles should be located; circumstances justify it—the ‘people demand ‘it: “2. We object to the government of the M>E.

Instead, however, of any attempt to emulate the lofty line of conduct of Mr, Clay, we find Mr. Meriwether, on the first convenient occasion, descending to the level of a crass road small beer politician in a resolution calling for information concerning the pay, emolu. ments, and extra allowances, received for their public services, respectively, by General Scott and Gen. Pierce. The intormation communi cated by this resalution bas just been published by the Washington Union, and will of course be circulated from one e:.d of the Union to the other for electioneering purposes against Gen. Scott. “It appears from these official returns, that for some forty years of the most active and bril- liant services in the army ol the United States, General Scott has received from the treasury an aggregate of two hundred and ninety thousand five hundred & seventy seven dollars & eighteen cents.. This would be a little over seven (hou. sand dollars a year for forty yeare—an exceed. ingly paltry exhibition of liberality, in contrast with the services, fur which it is paraded as an extravagant reward.

And, yet, with bis intelligence, he must know that it is nothing, inside and out, but utter trash. In regular pay, such ae legally and indispen. sably appertains to his office, General Scott bas received $251,286. This he wae entitled lo, precisely on the same ground as entitles any official in the service of the Government to bis salary, or any laborer to his wages. ‘The large. ness of the aggregate arises solely from the length of the service, and is in fact an honor instead of a reproach to the gallant old veteran. His greatest enemy inthe world would not dare to say that he has no! earned it a thousond times over, and, with all the hardihood of our oppo. nents, we do not expect to hear many murmurs from them on this score.

In the death of little children, we can see that the tenderest love, deals out the severest chastisements, which our Heavenly Father brings upon His people. Our hearts must bleed, when those tender ties are bro- ken, which bind vs up with their existence, and they are taken from as in all their sweet and innocent love- liness. Yet there mast always be much, to alleviate to christian Parents the bitterness of their sorrow, and bring about a cheerful resignation to the holy will of God. In compliance wiih our Saviour’s command, we dedicate them to His service, and pray that He would keep them under His protection, and crown them with His blessing. And He but sends His messenger to take them to His arms, that they may be safe and happy under His pategnal guardianship. And shall we com plain that our prayers have too soon been granted 1— Can we ask, that they shall be exposed again, to the temptations, and sufferings of life? oh no: ‘the Lord gave, and the Lord hath taken away, blessed be the name of the Lord.” It is the most earnest desire of our hearts, to train up our little ones to the service of God, that so by His blessing they may come to the enjoyment of His pro- mises. But He anticipates our care, and removes them at once. to induce us to follow with greater willingaoss, whither they have gone before. He takes into His own keeping the dearest treasures of our hearts, to enable us the more easily to wean our affections from this false and fleeting world, and fix them upon the true and lasting joys of Heaven. Then let us yieid to these in- dications of His love and mercy.

Whenever we intend to curtail our bu. siness, we will give due notice to the public and to our wholesale customers at our cost and not at the cost of any Braggadocia. And as to the supposed curtailment alluded to, it has no existence, save in the imagination of those to | whom the hope was father to the thought.— In cunclusion, we say, we are not in the babit of transfering our customers, but should it ever | become necessary for us to do so, we will try | to send them to some House, where, we think, they will be satisfied to go.

The following story, the simple and do- mestic incidents of which may be deemed | | scarcely worth relating, after such a lapse of time, awakened some degree of inter- est, a hundred years ago, in a principal seaport of the Bay Province. The twi- light of an autumn day, a parlor on the | | second floor of a small house, plainly fur- nished, as beseemed the middling circum. stances of its inhabitants, yet decorated with little curiosities from beyond the sea, and a few delicate specitnens of Indian manufacture—these are the only particu- lars to be premised in regard to scene and season. Two young and comely women sat together by the fireside, nursing their mutual and peculiar sorrows. They were the recent brides of two brothers, a sailor ‘and landsman, and two successive days had drought tidings of the death of each, widowed ones retired, after heaping ash- | cons@jaent upon grief quietly borne, and |soon sunk into temporary forgetfulness ; while Margaret became ture disturbed _and feverish in proportion as the night ad- vanced with its deepest and stillest hours. She lay listening to the drops of rain that came down in monotonous succession, un- swayed by a breath of wind, and a nerv- ous impulse continually caused her to lift her head frem the pillow, and gaze into Mary’s chamber and the intermediate a- partment. The cold light of the lamp threw the shadows of the furniture upon the wall, stamping them immovably there except when they were shaken by a sud deo flicker of the flame. Two vacantarm- chairs were in their old positions on op- posite sides of the hearth, where the bro- thers had been want to sit in the young and laughing dignity, as heads of families; two humble seats were near them, the true thrones of that little empire, where Mary and herself had exercised, in love, |a power that love had won. The cheer- ful radiance of the fire had shone upon the happy circle, and the dead glimmer of the lamp might have befitted their re- union now. While Margaret groaned in | bitterness, she héard a knock at the street door. “ How would my heart have leapt at that sound but yesterday!’ thought she, remembering the anxiety with which she had long awaited tidings from her husband. “I care not for it now; let them begone, for | will not arise.” But even while a sort of childish fret- fulness made her thos resolve, she was breathing hurriedly, and straining her ears to catch a repetition of the summons. It is difficult to be convined of the death of one whom we have deemed another ‘self.

And now the scene changes again. ~ Omzbe morning of the 22d of April it became know@ to somé few that Gen. Scott was about to leave the capital of Mesic¢o for his home,— In the evening of that day a large assemblage of the friends of the gallant hero collected io fromt of his quarters in the city of Mexico, and bade him farewell hy a grand serenade, Sey- eral very appropriate and tooching airs were played, and at the close of the very spirit-stir. ring sounds of “ Fail to the Chiel,” the com. manding form of the Gefieral was seen to come to the front of the baleony, from whence he bowed his thanks, silentiy,.it ig true, but the feelings of many a, bounding and warm beart responded, and thtee loud and*bearty cheers were given for Genera}-Scott, as he disappear. ed from the window. ; ' The next morning there was a0 affecting scene in front of his quarters, as he came vut to start upon bis journey to Vera Cruz, ‘The Rifle Guard was drawn up to receive him, and as he passed they presented arms to their be- loved commander for the last time, and shed | tears like children; and so affected was the Old Hero that he could hardly get into his carri- age. Officers and mencrowded around him, and as he was too muchovercome (o receive them all those who had not the happiness of shaking him by the hand were glad to get a sight of him as he departed. ‘Those who had not even a chance, of seeing him mounted their horses aud followed bim on the road, determined that he who had led them from victory to victory should | not leave the valley of bis great operations without one adieu. Around his carriage—for he was too much eshausted by his late heavy labors, and the emotion of parting with his brothersin arms,to ride on horseback —as it pro- ceeded along the causeway to El Penon, the officers crowded, and as fast as one could give the “ God bless you, General,” and fall back his place was supplied by another, and so the adieus continued for a long way on the road. And thas did Winfield Scott leave Mexico— going, virtually, a prisoner from the capital which but a few-months before he had entered as a triumphant conqueror! Will not the peo- ple bear this fact in mind, now that they have an opportunity of bestowing their loftiest honors upon one who has reflected such lofty honor and renown upon their country 2 TRUE HUMANITY. The occurrence of a distressing accident on the reception of Gen. Scott at Columbus, Ohio, last week, bas called forth from the Editor of the Philadelphia North American the following interesting article ; : The telegraphic despatch in our papar yesterday morning detailed with some minute- ness the particulars of a jameotable accident which oecurred during Gen. Scott's reception at Columbus on Wednesday. [t appears that a! a salute fired on that occasion a worthy Ger. man citizen was seriously injured by the burs. ting of acannon. Ags soon as Gen, Scolt was informed of the accident, he inmmediately repair. ed to the residence of the wounded man, who appears to have been in an humble condition of life, and gave his wife thirty dollars; doubt. less every cent of money he had about him.— Subsequentty, when he learned that the Ger. man had died from the injuries teceived, he sent the widuw a check for four bundred dollars, sympathy. We do not cite this incident as one for which General Scott is entitled to any remarkable credit, or upon Which a claim to favorable con. sideration may be rested. There are thousands utterly inconceivable es Scott ; thé poor'and bumble love him} the City Guard advances to the Contest ynder bis banaer with resolute confidence. Ii the vote of the State is folly brought out, his major. ity most be large; if @ part of it stay al home it is not likely to be our part. “But a light vote would leave to accident what a full yote will render & mora! certainty.” GEN. PIERCE A PREESOILER AND AN ABOLITIONIST. We have, at ‘last, deniable prooi, that Franklio Pierce, the dem. ocratic nominee for the Presidency, is a down- wright Freesoiler and Abolitionist. We hope that all our readers will peruse and remember the proofs we are now about to adduce. > They show that this second “ Northern man with Southern principles” is not a whit sounder or more reliable than bis illustrious predecessor and present supporter, Martia Van Buren.— Here is the proof. In October 1850, the dem ocracy of New Hampshire, held a State Con vention, of which Gen. Pierce was a member. Among the resolutions adopted was the fullow- ing: . Resolved, That the holding of buman be. ings in bondage is a curse to any country; that we are opposed to slavery, black or white in all its forms and under whatever circumstan- ces.” The resolution was adopted by a unanimous vote of the Convention and as Gen. Pierce was a member of it, he, of course, voted for it.— Now we will not insult the intelligence of our readers by an argument to prove that the sen. timents avowed in the resolution are unadulle- rated abolitionism. Every Southern man feels and koows that such is the fact. Hence Gen, Pierce is proved to be an abolitionist.— But again. All our readers know that John C. Calhoun was, during his life, regarded as the great champion of our Southern institutions and that the opinions he has left on record in regard to them are appealed to, especially by democrats. as the utterances of an infallible oracle. declaration on record—that he who regarded and called slavery a social and moral evil was the worst and most insidious kind of abolitionist. Now, on the 11th day of June 1847, a Demo. cratic Convention was held at Concord, New Hampshire, of which Gen. Pierce was a mem. ber. He introduced and the Convention adopt- ed a resolution declaring that they ‘deplored. the existence of slavery and regarded it as a great social and moral evil.” 1s not the proof complete? Mr. Calhoun being Judge, Frank. lin Pierce is the very worst and most insidi- ous kind of an abolitionist. cape for him, The recognized, democratic oracle of the South so classes him and all the special pleading in the world cannot rescue him from the charge. Southern men can you stand him ?— Alabama Whig. Democratic papers at the South are uttering complaints at the late passage by Congress of the River and Harbor Improvement Law.— They say it is contrary 16 the Baltimore Plat. form and to thesetiled principles of the party, and wonld not be borne by them, only that they know that Franklin Pierce will make a great change in all such matters when he comes | into power, and bring back the Democratic par. | ty to their old legitimate standard. ‘They will not suffer their brethren at the North and West to be improving the tariff and improving the country if they can help it; aud they know and are sure they have gota man as candidate for President who will take care to put down all such unconstitutional schemes.—Nat. Int. Several of the Locofoco papers seem to be very much distressed for the fate of a “poor soldier,” who, they say, “was crop- ped at Buffalo in 1812 by order of Gen.

That he declared in his New~ Boston speech, that he “Loarnep™ the fugitive slave law.” That he declared in a speech he made in November 1850, that “those who -de- sired to dissolve the Union, did not HATER slavery worse than he‘did.” That he is supported by Van Baren, Cleveland, Hallett, Preston King, Atwood, Peaslee, Hibbard, and the rankest Free- soilers of the North.

The citizens of Salisbury, have been favored, within a few days past, with two exhibitions of the historical painting - by Mr. Clark, of Virginia, of the removal.of Christ from the cross to the sepulehre:— It is some confirmation of the merits of our young American that those familiar _with the best pajasings at Washingteo and Phila lelphia, an "those who ta eieee some attention to the seience of painting, evineed far er res _ + ai vocate of peace. His conduct on many memorable and eritical oceasions—such, for instance, as during the troublein South Carolina, threatening-civilwar, the North- ] eastern Boundary -disturbances, and the negotiations in Mexico—show bim-to be ‘the great Pacificator, as well/asthe great military commander, ts The following brief note to the editor of the Madisonian, ten years -since, has been quoted as showing that Gen. Scott’s statesmanship is “of the right sort—the statesmanship of peace :” Wan Orrice, Auaust, 1842.-: Sm: I perceive in the Madisonian of this mornin that I am charged ae ee Be et bee | tweén the United States and Great Britain, to which _ the Senate is understood to have given its advice and | consent a few days ago. Of the terms of that treaty I am entirely ignorant, | except through contradictory rumors. I have neither | the influence nor the desire to interfere with the action of the Senate upon it—always contenting myself with saying that J preferred an Lonevable peace even to a successful war. Hoping that you will take pleasure in correcting the injustice you have done me, I remain, sir, your obedient servant, Winriewp Scorr. To the same purport is the following extract from a speech of Gen. Scott, de- livered at the City Hall, New York; May 25, 1848, on occasion of his return from Mexico: “Though I am a soldier, and therefore supposed to be fond of fighting, I asuon War, except when prose- cuted in defence of our country, or for the preservation of its honor, or of some great, important—nay, cardinal interest. J hold war to bea great moral evil. It must be for good and substantial reasons for no forced or false pretext, however plausibly set forth, that war can be | warrantably waged, or that can justify any man in | shedding the blood of his fellow-beings. The interests of New York and of our whole country ‘are identified with peace, and with every duty of Christian morality.” And we give another passage in-this connexion, when the old hero congratula- ted some of his friends on the restoration of peace, on his return from Mexico, in the city of New York: “You have been pleased, sir, to allude to our adopt- ed citizens. I cam say that the Irish, the Germans, the Swiss, the French, the Britons, and other adopted citizens, fought in the same ranks, under the same Ts, side by side with native-born Americans, exhibiting like courage and efficiency, and uniting at every victory in the same enthusiastic shouts in honor of our fing and country. From Vera Cruz to the Capital of Mexico there was one generous rivalry in heroic daring and brilliant achievement. Let those who wit that career of valor and partriotism say, if they can, what race, according to numbers, contributed most to the gen- | eral success and glory of the campaign. On the many , hard-fought baittle-fields there was no room for invidious | distinetion ; ail proved themselves the faithfal sons of | our beloved country, and no spectator could fail to dis- miss any lingering prejudice be might have entertained as to the comparative merits of Americans by birth’and Americans by adoption. As the honored representative ofall, I return among you to bear testimony in favor of my fellow-soldiers in the field, the army of Mexico; and I congratulate you and them that the common ob- | jeet of their efforts and your hopes—the restofation of peace—is in all probability now attained.” These are glorious words, worthy of the conqueror—aye, and the “ Conqueror of Peace”—on his return from the fields of hisrenown. It has been well said that, “ With a man at the head of the Govern- ment, knowing no distinction pf section or birth, favorable to the development of the resources of the country, by a proper sys- tem of improvements and reasonable pro- tection to our industry, and particularly agriculture, and maintaining our peace both externally and internally, how can the country fail to prosper ?” From the National Intelligencer. As the personal and political frient and fellow-townsman of President Fitumore, no man we presume experienced a more sincere regret that Mr. Fillmore did not receive the nomination of the Baltimore Whig Convention than did Mr. Haven, the able Representative in Congress of the city of Buffalo. He was, we believe, pre- sent.at the Convention ; he watched its movements withdeep solicitude ; he saw that its proceedings were fair, and, though its decision was adverse to his hopes, he knew it was fairly made; asa good Re- publican he bowed to the will ofthe major- ity; the choice of the Convention, if it did not fallon him whom he deemed most worthy, had fallen on one whom no.man could stand up and pronounce unworthy ; and, therefore, so far from permitting his disappointment to compromise his duty as a Whig, or to abate his ardor in uphold- ing: his party and its candidate, he acqui- esced in the nomination, and on all occa- sions strenuously ‘advocates the election of Gen.

Scott, that he wrote nothing on the Com. promise before his nomination. If this be an objeetion, does it not apply with at least equal torce to Gen. Pierce ? He was especially interrogated by Mr. Scott of Richmond and made no reply, or if he re- plied, that reply bas been withheld from the public. But the question for us is not when Gen. Scott wrote but what he wrote, and the position he now occupies, and which he basall along occupied, is decided and hearty support of the whole Compro- mise in all its parts as a final settlement. What more can be required 7 It has been objected to Scott that Se- ward, Greely and Weed support him.— Well. do not both the Van Burens, Pres. | ton King, Hallet, B. F. Butler, David Wil- mot, the father of the odious proviso, and many othersof like abolition opinions, sup- port Pierce? If the support of the latter candidate by Ablitionists is entirely con- sistent with his soundness on the slavery question, how, in fairness, can it be al- leged that the support given to the form- er persons of like opinions, argues any unsoundness in him upon that question ? It is supposed that Seward will influence Scott ? and shal! Pierce not be influenced by such men as the Van Burens, and King and Hallet, and Butler, and Wilmot 7? Bat, sir, could we have nominated any candidate to whom our opponents would not have alledged a like objection? Had Filllmare or Webster. been nominated, for the injustice done to whom the Loco- foco press have expressed such indignant complaints — would he not have been charged by that press in the South with abolitionism, or at any rate, with being unreliable for the South, while at the North he would have been every where arrayec as a pro-slavery man unfit to be trusted by Northern freemen? Surely he would. Why not? Scott has been charg- ed with cowardice, and surely, they who make this charge, would not have been withheld by its mendacity from charging Webster or Fillmore with abolitionism. It appears then, sir, to me, as Mr. Fill- more has said, that Gen. Scott is “ enti- tled to the support of every true Whig.” Surely, we of the South may well confide in him. Born and reared in a Southern State, accustomed to slavery from his in- fancy, having his relations and friends of his youth here, what is there in the ante- cedents of his early life to justify distrust? Honorable in his principles, true to bis engagements, and shewn in his past life to be far removed trom all that has the appearance of fraud or duplicity, a brave soldier, a true patriot, witb bis name re- nowned throughout the world for what is noble, lofty and generous, he cannot bat be found faithful in every fature as be has been in every past emergency. Heisa Whig, a well-known, long-tried Whig ; he holds our opinions and will maintain our measures in the administration of public affairs.

Israeli— the wondrous boy who wrote Alroy —in his recent Life of Lord George Bentinck, has many interesting statements and specula- tions 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 incurred for the commission of a | yreat crime—the cruicfixion of Jesus Christ— jg neither historically true oF dogmatically sound. It is not 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 before.” Again he says: havoc and persecul are probably more “The Jews, afier all the ion they have experienced, numorous at this date, eres uring the reiga of Solomon, the Woe are mer yr all the lands, unfortunately, rosper in most.

There is one fact, which none can contest. Chris- tians may continue to persecute, Jews may per. sist in disbelieving Christians, but who can de. ny that Jesus of Nazareth, the Incarnate Son of Most High God, is the eternal glory of the Jewish race? “The European nations are indebted to the Jews for much that regulates,rauch that charms, and much that solaces existence. The toiling multitude resis on every seventh day by virtue of a Jewish law; they are perpetually reading for their example, the accords of Jewish history and singing the odes and elegies of Jewish po- els; and they daily acknowledge on their knees with reverent gratitude, that the medium of communication between the Creator aud them- selves is the Jewish race. Yet, they treat that race as the vilest of generations ; and, instead of Jogically looking upon them as the human family that bas contributed most to human hap. piness, they extend to them every term ot ob- loquy and every form of persecution.” TRYING TO BE GENTEEL. I once boarded in a “ genteel boarding house in Louisville ;” there were two ladies and a piano In the house—hall and parlors handsome. ly furnished. The eldest young lady, the belle, wore a summer bonnet at ten dollars—a silk blond concern that could not last more than three months—silk and satin dresses at two, three and four dollars per yard and five dollars a piece for making them, and the entire family, women, boys and babies, slept in the room with two dirty bags of pine shavings, two straw bol. sters, and three dirty quilts, for bedding, no slips; and there on the wall hung the pea green and white satin, the rich silk lawn dresses.— These ladies did not work but played on the piano, accordeon and cards; and nearly broke their hearts the week we were there, because another who I presume lived just as they did, called on them, with a great clumsy gold chain on her neck. None of tnem had one, and Miss Labliods, the belle, could eat no supper and had a fit of sulks, to console her for the want of a chain. We fear this description would suit the lati. tude of other places beside Louisville. The endeavor to be “ genteel’ is the curse of tuo many of the inhabitants of our cities and villa. ges. Weak mothers will frequently do the most menial offices, and deny themselves com. forts absolutely necessary to health, in order that selfish daughters may dress above their means, aod spend their time in idleness and fashionable gossip. ‘The inducement to all this is, that the daughters, may make splendid matches; in other words, marry young men with more money than brains and more credit than either. In nine cases out of ten the effort fails, and the girls remain unmarried, (hus increasing the number of those discontented old maids, who mistakingly think a single life pos sesses nothing honorable, but who have only themselves to blame for their fate, since they dispised the honest men who would have had at s large mirror thai would be just the thing for the best réou, andthe roll of carpeting of most becoming patern, but it won't do, they must wait tillnest year. Ab! there is music in those next years that orchestras cannot arake. Aad so they and price, and purchase the summer supplies, the husband the while eye the roll of bank notes growing small by degrees and beautifully less. Then comies on ‘aside’ conference, particularly confidential. She takes him affectiunately by the button, and looks up in his face—she has fine eyes by the by—with an expression eloquent of, ‘do now, it will please them so.’ And what do you suppose they talk of! Toys for the children ; John wants a drum, and Jane a doll, and Jenny a book, all pictures, ‘jist like Susan-so.and-so’s.’ The father looks ‘nonsense,’ and feels in his pocket for the required silver, aud the mother, having gained the point, bastens away baby and all, to the toys. ‘There acts the mother— she had halt promised, not all, that she would bring them something, and she is happy all the way home, not for the bargain she made, but for the pleasant surprise in those brown parcels. And you ought to have been there when she got home, when the drum and the doll, and the book were produced, and thumped; wasn’t it a great house? Happiness is so cheap; what a wonder there is no more of it in the world!” SHADE TREES—THE AILAN- THUS DEFENDED. The last number of the Scientific American contains the following reply to an article from the Horticulturist, copied a few weeks since in this paper, in regard to the ailanthus tree in cities: “Inthe Horticulturist of the last month, of which the accomplished and lamented A. J. Downing was the editor, there is a sharp and slashing article against the ailanthus as a shade tree for cities and villages. The article recommends the axe to be laid to the root of this tree at once, and to substitute for it the native maple and the tulip tree. The reasons given for this are two, and only two naime- ly, its offensive smell, and its overruning or propagating qualities. The latter vice, as it is termed, of this tree, is too puerile a reason for its extermination ; the first— its bad smell—is the only good one. The trouble of lopping down suckers, is noth- ing at all except to lazy people. It is ac- knowledged that in foilage it is beautifal, and that none of the ugly vermin, so pro- lific among other shade trees in cities, trouble it. It grows very fast, is straight and oriental-like, with its nodding plume of long slender leaves. Should we not consider the proposition for its destruction well, however high the aathority may be, before the public consents to its death 7— This is wisdom. And first, it should be asked, “has it really such a bad odor as them, in the vain hope to get others who scorn. ed them in turn, There is nothing more foolish, indeed, than this trying to be ‘genteel.’ The word itself is vulgar, and has mo real meaning, at least in a republican country. Ve have no genlilily here as they have in England. Every man is on an equality. The honest day laborer, who serves his God, pays his debts, and does his duty to his neighbor, is as worthy of respect as the richest citizen. A respectable operative, though poor, is far’ more estimable than either the fashionable dandy, who lives by cheating his tailor, or the extravagant merchant, who spends more than his income.” In common par. tothe spendthrift class than the real wealthy ; tu the vain and empty fools, who live for show, than to the intelligent, honorable and worthy. To endeavor to ape the rich, by an extravagant expenditure of narrow means, is what most weak persons do, who wish to be considered genteel.” It is our deliberate opinion that no young woman can live this life of pretty hy- pocrisy, this constant struggle seem to be what she is not, without losing that strict regard for truth which is one of the brightest ornaments of a female’s character. Better, far better, be frank and honest. Poverty is nothing to be ashamed of, while deceil and extravagance are. If we were a young man, we would avoid all “genteel ;” for we should be sure we would run great danger of marrying an extravagant and foollish wife, if nothing worse. A BEAUTIFUL SKETCH. We are indebisd to a writer in the Chicago Journal for the following sketch of a domestic scene, which (says the Alexandria Gazette) heart: Yesterday we saw a wagon loaded with wheat coming into town—nothing strange in that, cer. tainly. A mau driving the team, and a woman perched on the load beside him and a child throned in a woman’s lap—nothing strange io that either. And it required no particelar shrewdness to discover that the woman was the property, personal of course, of the man ; and that the black-eyed, round faced child was the property of both of them. So much we saw, so much we suppose every body saw, who look. ed. It is a fair inference that the wife came in to help ber busband trade out a portion of the proceeds of the wheat, the product of so much labor and eo many sunshines and rains.— The pair were somewhere this side—a fine point of observation, isn’t it 1—this side of forty. and it is presumptive, if blessed like their neigh. bors, they left two or thee at home “to keep house,” while they came to towa—perhaps two girls and a boy, or, as it is immaterial to us, two boys and one girl. Well, follow the pair in and through, until the wheat was sold, the money paid, and then for the trade. The baby was shified from shoulder, or sat down upon rkling the floor, to run into mischief, like @ globule of quicksilver on a marble table, while calicoes were priced, sugar and tea tasted, and Fredrick Gents, ed Jew. Secretary to the plates ‘rang.’ The good wife looked askance lance, “genteel people” more generally belong | families in which we detected this effort to be | cannot fail to touch a chord in every parent’s | will not compensate for all its good qual. ities? If it has, lay the axe quickly to its root; if aot,*woodman spare that tree.” Our olfactory nerves may not be so acute as (hose of some others; we therefore cannot consent to its death ; but we must | say that we like our native maple and tu- lip trees much better; they, however, are much slower in growth to form shade trees than the ailanthus. “ We learn by the Western Horticultur- al Review, Cincinnati, that a spirited dis- cussion was recently held by the Cincin- nati Horticultural Society, in which the merits and demerits of this tree were free- ly canvassed. Its merits, as set forth by the Ohio Hoticulturist, fairly threw every argument for its extirpation in the shade. Mr. Ernst, during long cxperience, never 'knew any malaria poisonous effects to | proceed from it; it was free from insects, and a beautiful tree in any situation.— | Mr. R. Buchanan gave the same testimo- | ny ; but the majority of the Society agreed ‘that it had an unpleasant odor, which an | old gardener stated might easily be abated by eatting off the stamens, by a proper 1n- stroment, just before they expanded, as | all odors chiefly arose from them. * Our people are too liable to go every ‘thing by fashionable excitements, instead of individual independent taste. This is the reason why whole avenues of one kind of tree may be seen in one place, and whole evenues of a different kind of tree in another place; and how at one time ‘one kind of tree only will be in demand, ‘and at another period a different tree will be the only one in demand. We like to see variety; and the ailanthus is a beau- tiful, suitable, and excellent tree to give a chequered air of beauty to the scene.— We do not like to see any street lined and shaded with only one kind of tree; we like to see the maple, whitewood, moun- tain ash, horsechestnut, ailanthus, &c. mingled in harmanious rows.” A Singular Escape from Murder.—The Vi- enna ee give an account of a horrible af. fair, thus: A peasant sold at a fair a pair of oxen; and on his return, having been driaking rather too much, he placed the money he had received in a girdle which he fastened round his daughter who accompanied him. On pass- ing through a wood, a man stopped them and demanded the money. ‘The peasant denied having any. The mao knowing be had sold the oxen, seized him by him a litle way into the other men joined the first, dered et ong The saw the reached a cottage, told the of what had occurred, and said money on Th and the three mor. eing | recollecting that the girl could betray them, re- the bair, and dragged wood. There two r distinctly rated. took flight, inmaie, a woman, she bad the | flags the woman took and fastened ia of the girl, secreted her in an bed chamber. The three men then came, told of their crime, and one, it seems, was the woman’s busband. Thereupon she, with a loud said the daughter was in the next room, and she produced the belt, to their great joy. ‘Phe men solvod at once to destroy her, and the plan the agreed on was to burn her to death 4 meg They proceeded at once to light the oven, and soon the girl heard the flames crackling. Des. perately she sought the means to escape, and finding the wall of clay she was able to make a hole large enough to creep through. Escap: ing and meeting gens d‘armes, the whole party of wretches were captured. Grave Yard Excitement.—For the last two or three weeks considerable excitement bas ex- isted in Philadelphia, on account of the exhum. ing and exposure of the remains of a number of the dead in the graveyard belonging to the congregation of St. Augustine’s Church, which has been sold by the trustees, who notified the friends and relatives of the deceased to disinter their remains. No attention, however, was paid to the notice, and the digging up of ibe grave yard proceeded until popular excitement became so great that the authorities were com. pelled to interfere, and cause the excavation to be suspended for the present. Rotary Steam Plough.—This is the name of a new plough just iutrodaced among the ag- riculturists of Scotland. It is got upon a new plan. The ploughs, or rather ihe iron horns which act as plough, revolve on a shaft like a water wheel. [1 stirs about three feet of earth at once, so scatiers and pulverises it as (o make it look like the work of a spade. It moves at a good pace, having no less a velucity than (weoty-five hundred yards per hour, ploughing about six acres in one day. . The price ol it is £300 or $1.455. It requires an engineer and two laborers to attend to it. THE KENTUCKY RUNAWAYS. A despatch published yesterday men- tions the flight of 31 negroes from Ken- tucky. Ina later despatch we find the following :—South Carolinian of Oct. 5. “They were traced to Ripley, on the river, and were pursued by their owners and others from this side, The clothes taken by the slaves were concealed in a yard, and the persuers were refused a warrant to search the house inwhich it was supposed most of the slaves were hid. Five, who had continaed, on were pursued by their masters, and three captured.— They are expected to be brought over to night. The negroes of Ripley assist- ed in numbers, armed with guns, and surrounded the hotel where the Kentuck- ians stopped. Fears are entertained of a serious disturbance, as the Kentuckians remain there on the watch, and are deter- mined to recover the slaves. Much indig- nation is felt bere because the authorities of Ripleyrefused to assist the masters by granting warrants.” A New Kuwp or “Pocket Pisrois.”—The Portland Advertiser says that, at the camp meeting at Bethel last week, it was notic- ed that some “New Testaments,” which were hawked about near the camp ground, sold rapidly, especially to the un- converted, and it turned out that they weré “earthen vessels,” in the form of books filled with liquor. Two persons who were engaged in the business were arrested and fined $10 and cost each. MODELS OF MECHANISM. About five hundred years pefore Christ, Pythagoras discovered a principle res- pecting the square which occasioned the sacrifice of a hundred oxen to commemo- rate the event. The principle, is, that if squares be drawn on the three sides of a right angle triangle, the square on the side opposite to the right angle, always the longest side, is in all cases precisely equal in surface to the two squares upon the other sides. Few principles have so ma- ny practical applications, either in science or business. Carpenters always use itin squaring their buildings; it is hence cal- led the “ Carpenrer’s THEOREM.” Like all far reaching, practical princi- ples of science, when practically illustra- ted, it has great attractions to young minds by furnishing the most delightful employ ment to young hands, and is one of those numerous lessons of instruction cer- tain to make * Winter Evenine Firesives” more attractive than any of the fearfully affective lessons furnished by “ Sraeer Scuoous.” Hecatomb is the Greek of the sacrifice of a hundred oxen; hence this principle is called the “ Hecatoms Pao- sem.” Several illustrations of the pro- blem may be seen at the window of Gray & Balentine, Seventh street. H. An Irish lawyer, ina neighboring coun- ty recently addressed the court as ‘gen- tlemen’ instead of ‘your honours.’ After he had concluded, a brother of the bar re- minded bim of his error. He immediate- ly arose to apologize, thus:—'May it please the coart—in the hate of debate— | called yer honors gentlemen, | made a mistake, yoor honors. The gentleman sat down, and we hope the court was satisfied. .—In Boston, the autbori- ties prohibit prejecting signe, but still allow to be strung across the streets.

Next to faith in God, and in his over-raling Pro- vidence, a man’s faith io himself in. his salvation. It isthe secret of all power and success. It is the secret of all good luck, so called.

From the Raleigh Register. THE LEGISLATURE. At the time of writing this article, the Sen. até is still the scene of an animated discussion on the litigated case from the 2nd Senatorial District, which commenced on Tuesday last. The debate was opened by Mr. Jones, Sena. tor from Perquimons and Pasquotank, in a strong, compact and convincing array of the facts connecied with the case, & an exceedingly able argument upon its merits. He was-follow. ed by Mr. Caldwell, of Mecklenburg, and the debate bas since been divided between those two gentiemen, and Messrs. Lillington, Bynum, Hoke, Gilmer, and Kelly. Brief reports of a portion of these various Speeches appear in the : appropriate column, but, we owe it to justice to which:was also voted down. After some say, in so imperfect a shape, as toconvey but a conversation, in which Mr. Avery advo- | very feeble idea of the spirit and force that dis- cated and Mr. Puryear, of Surry, resisted tinguished the remarks of Mr.: Lilling:on, or and adjournment. the House proceeded | of jhe powerful argument and caustic severity to vote for Speaker, with the following | of Mr. Bynum. We shall happily beable, how. result: ever, in our next, and a subsequent issue or is- sues, to present a full Stenographic report of the whole debate since Wednesday morning— comprising Mr. Bynum’s admirable second Speech, the remarks of Mr. Caldwell, the Speech of Mr. Jones on Wednesday afternoon and ‘Thursday morning, and the convincing ar- gume:ts of Messrs. Gilmer and Kelly on the same day. We could not fill our columns with more important matter. In the contest between Mr. Barnard, and Dr. Shaw, the following facts are proved, on the part of Mr. Barnard, and not denied by Dr. Shaw, or bis friends : At one precinet in the county of Camden, where the senatorial votes counted out of the box were 79, of which Jobn Barnard received 62 and Dr. Shaw 17, the inspectors and the Justice made out their certificate, and the mag. istrate took it for the purpose of delivering the same on the next day to the Sheriffof Camden. On the next morning, without any conference with, or permission from the Inspectors, the magistrate, discovering, that on the list of vaters there were only 78 names, ran bis pen across the figure 2, and put below it the figure 1, ma. king Mr. Barnard’s vote 61, instead of 62, as counted out, and certified to by the inspectors. The magistrate and inspectors all swear that they believe the discrepancy occurred in the Clerk's failing, amid the hurry and noise, to re. cord the name of one voter. From thesefacts, Shaw insists that Barnard should loose one vole, without inquiring whethor there were counted out more votes than the number really given, and if so, without enquiring to which candidate the extra vote was given ! Again: Ata precinct in Currituck county, there were found two votes in the Governor’s bos for Dr. Shaw. At this place, the number of voters listed and the number of votes counted out, (without the two voles in the Governor’s boa,) agreed precisely in number. Here the Justice and Inspectors added these two votes taken from the Governor’s box to Shaw’s vote, mak. ing the votes allowed two in number more than the voters listed. On this statement of facts made {o appear from the certificates and affida. vits uf the returning officers, Dr. Shaw and his friends insist that he is elected by one vote— whereas it will be perceived, that by counting Barnard’s sote, taken from him in Camden, il is atie, and if tho (woexira votes allowed Shaw in Currituck are taken from him, then Mr. Bar. nard is elecied by two votes ! It also appears in the case, that the Sheriff of Currituck, who laid sick four miles from the place of voting, and vthers, voted for Dr. Shaw by prosy—that tbe Sheriff of Currituck died before the day of comparing the polls, where. | Mr. Baster 60 Mr. Dobbin 51 So Mr. Baxter was accordingly declared elec- ted, and conducted to the chair by Messrs.

Gen. Pierce, if elected, will invite into his cabinet, the Freesoilers of the North to aid in administering the Govern. ment ; and in the distribution of the patronage of the Government, he will make no distinc- tion between them and the Democrats! ‘This Now suppose Gen. Scott were to come out Is there any man who doubts of the effect? The Whigs of the whole South would drop him instantly.— And what would the democrats say!

We ask honest, thinking men to look at this matter, seriously, If Gen. Scott were to au. thorise the publication of a sentiment like that above, he would stand no mure chance of being elected President of the United States than Joshua Giddings. How, then, is it, that demo. cratic candidates can venture, at a time like this, to come out with such a declaration? Is it not passing strange! Evidently it is be- cause there is some secret purpose well under. stood hy the leaders of the party, of which the humbled voters are kept perfectly in the dark. But what was intended to be accomplished by this bold avowal? It is this : Haus is the nominee:of the Freesoilers of the North, and has taken the stump in his own cause: He is weeding a wide row in the Democratic party North,—carrying off an alarming number of the Freesoil class from the support of Franklin Pierce. The leaders at Washington are alive to this, and taking the alarm, have caused the above to be announced! ‘ The Freesoil lead. ers of the North are a regular portion of the Democratic party !’’ Come back to Mr. Pierce, boys ; come back—you shal! share in the spoils on an equal foolipg with all the rest of the party.— Was any thing ever more bare-faced ! And the party who are playing this outrage. ous game are traducing and villifying General Scott, who, brave man as he is, stands up and boldly asserts ‘I will be rigorous in regard to qualification for office—retaining and appoint- ing no one either deficient in capacity or in in- tegrity, or in devotion to liberty, To THE Con.

It isthe natural breathing of a great, brave old veteran,elo whom the country, as a whole, is endeared by his struggles in her be. half in an hundred battle fields. ‘* The Con. stitution and the Union,” are his watch words, and he will countenance no man whose hand is raised against his country by attempts to de. stroy the ** Constilulion and the Union.” STATE LEGISTURE.

The contested seat question then came up, and after reading the affidavit of one of the Inspectors of the polls at Canal Bridge, by which it appeared he had tak- en the responsibility, without authority, of altering a figure, wheredy the Whig can- didate lost a vote. Mr. Bynum got the floor, and addressed the Senate at considerable length, and with great force reviewing all the points in the case, and clearly showing that Mr. Barnard, the Whig claimant, and not Dr. Shaw, the Democrat, was entitled to the seat. Mr. Caldwell of Mecklenburg replied ; and Mr. Bynum and Mr. Jones to him again; when, The Senate adjourned.

Oct. 7th, 1852. Senate.—The contested seat again oc cupied the attention of Senators: The question was on striking out Mr. Hoke’s resolution, which declared Dr. Shaw en titled to the seat, and substituting for it, the proposition of Mr. Jones to refer the whole matter to a Committee of Investi gation. A division of the question being called for resulted as follows: Ayes, 21: Nays, 25. Mr. Lillington then moved a substitute for the original Resolution, declaring that it did not appear that either shaw or Barnard were entitled to a seat, and that the matter be refer red back, for decision, TO THE PEOPLE OF THE DISTRICT, This proposition was negatived by the same vote ; and by the same vote Hoke’s resolution passed—a viler wrong never was perpetrated. WHIGS AND DEMOCRATS READ. It is known to all that the several States of this Union have.an interest in our vast domain. But there is a difference of opin- ion amongst politicians how these inter- ests should be distributed for the common benefit. The Whig Party, as a Party, advocate the distribution of these lands to the States—to each State its share, when each can spend the money as best suits its peculiar wants and interest. The De. mocratic party oppose this most reasona- ble course. It is, therefore, depending on the decision of the people as to what shall be done with the proceeds of these lands. We present, below, an article on this sub- ject, from the Richmond Whig, addressed to their earnest attention. We have just commenced improving the good old North State @® We need mo. | ney and money must be raised to com. | plete the great works which are now - | o pro gressing. In what easier way can this be done than by demanding our share of the proceeds of the public lands 2 Bat we also need money to render our public schools more efficient. They are now sustained by funds distributed to the States under Mr. Clay’s distribution bill. If it shall suit the people of North Carolina better to apply their share in'this way, it is allright. At all events they ought to and when'they get it, can use it as they see fit. THE GREAT QUESTION. the commonwealth, is whether.

Last Friday night was a time that will long be remembered by the citizens of Salisbury as one ol the most pleasant scenes ofexeitement and i pe ng ex A litle before night, His Excelle oneepectady in istda, i, t tpacay Cataenae . — His rooms were immediately, t nirins : vere nazote inpey tieee o nation delights tv honor, But bis friends were not satisfied with merely seeing him in private, they were determined to give sotne more mark- ed demonstration of ‘their esteem and confi- dence. Soon after dark the Court House was densely Gilled by the citizens of town, whose enthusiasm knew no bounds, The meeting was organized by calling Luke Blackmer, Esq., to the Chair, who made a few brief remarks, followed by Hon. Nathaniel Boyden, when it was be pg Resolved, To serenade Gove with the Salisbury Brass Band. — Tbe Chairman appointed Dr. Hand James J. J. Bruner, E. Myers and Julius R. Vogler marshals to take charge of the procession.— Phe procession was formed, and preceded by the Band, marched from the Court House to Col. Robards’ Hotel, which was most brill. iantly illuminated, and an immense bonfire burning in the street—making a light so brill. iant as to dispel entirely the darkness of night. On came the procession, the Band playing— crowds gathering—cheers ringing, and hand. kerchiets waiving ; for the Ladies, God bless them, were at the Hotel in large numbers be. fore the procession arrived. After the Band had played a number of beautiful and appro. priate airs, nine hearty cheers were given for Gov. Graham. ,The Governor was now called for most loudly, and when be made his «ppear- ance, the applause which greeted him, was per- fectly deafening, and was prolonged for some minutes, At length, when the cheering had nearly subsided, he was introduced to the vast multitude by Mr. Boyden, when the cheering was renewed, louder and longer than before. After the wild enthusiasm of the mass had been permitted to indulge itself as long as the strong- est lungs would endure, Gov. Graham made a few chaste and appropriate remarks, which were repeatedly interrupted by thundering bursts of | applause. He returned to the citizens of Salis- bury his grateful thanks for the kind and flatter. ing reception they gave him. He spoke of North Carolina as his native State—the land of his boyhood’s love and his manhood’s pride ;—he spoke of the many pleasant associations of his early life in Western Carolina, and of his ma. ny personal triends who have ever applauded his efforts to serve them and who have ever been ready to cover his errors with the mouth | of charity.. Again thanking the citizens of Salisbury for such a marked demonstration of their esteem, he closed by saying, he hoped the American people would be actuated in the approaching election by nothing but feelings of love and patriotism to their country, and then let their verdict be what it might, he would be perfectly satisfied. Cheers, ioud and long, ful. | lowed him as he retired, and the Band struck up an animated strain. Mr. Walker, of Greensboro’, being unex. pectedly present, was now loudly called far, and ov appearing, was enthusically cheered, His was not a partizan speech, but it consisted of afew short remarks upon the brilliant scene before him, and a most eloquent and forcible narrative of Gen. Scott’s career as the greatest enera! of the world, and as a civilian of such we}! kiown prudence, wisdom and sagacity, | that whenever the nation has stood in need ol the services of the ablest men, he has ever been selected. While in the midst of his speech, narrating some of the distinguished ser. | vices of Gen. Scott, a democratic friend, be- hind him, asked what Gen. Pierce had dune? This inquiry was most bappily disposed of. If, | said Mr. Watker, Gen. Pierce .bas ever done | any thing for his country, you all know it. If) Gen. Pierce was ever chairman of any com-— mittee, or introduced any bill, or made a speech in Congress, you all know it. If Gen, Pieree | wentto Mexico with the United States Army, | you all know it, and if be did any thing while in Mexico to distinguish bimself, you all know i, and there is no need of my telling you of it.— | Mr. Walker retired amidst the most deafening | applause, who was followed by music from the Band. The Hon. Mr. Boyden was now called for, and as he was not very expeditious in mak. | ing his appearance, the call arose to such a) deafening demand as he could no? resist. He | came out and called for three cheers for the Ladies and the Band, and while the cheers were ringing, he sloped ; but he didn’t stay in the shade of retirement very long, for the crowd were determined he should make them a speech, so at last he caved in and let the mass have its own way—just as Democracy will bave to cave 4 ihe Raleigh papers, and by letter, | &n account of the organization mbly and its progress up to 4y.

Down it will not! It is an open, a shameless, an impudent avowal of al] that the Whigs have » it true, witb holy horror, and charged back eee the Whigs in one universal chorus, as an of. fense sufficient to deprive them of all conf. dence and support, it is a deliberate admission that if Pierce is elected “the Freesoil Demo. cratic leaders” “as a regular portion of the Demoeratic party,” are to come in tor a ratea- ble proportion of oficial patronage. Read that again Mr. Jones, says Maj. Gaines, an old sol- It was again read distinctly by the speaker, for the old gentleman, who leaning forward on his every word. After a pause, Mr. Jones.—Now, sir, what do you say to that 7 Maj. Gaines.—It must be a slip or oversight in the Editor—some great mistake, it seems so barefaced ! Mr. Jones.—Not bit of a slip or oversight about it. L think it is a great mistake to pre. sume so far upon the devotion and gullability of the democratic party of the South, and in that sense of the word, | think it is barefaced: But there is no slip or oversight in it. It was no doubt issued upon tull deliberation and by the highest power in the sanhedrim. John P. Hale, you know, has just been set up by the Freesoilers as their candidate. He has taken the stump on his own hook, and there is great danger that this * regular portion of the demo. cratic party” may straggle off with him. A loss of any substantial part of this force will be a perfect fire-annihilator upon all hope of getting New York, Ohio or Indiana. In tact it endangers nearly every State at the North and North.West that they had counted upon. li is a new pitch in the old song of “ come back.” It isa new supply of manna for the hun- gry tribes in ihe wilderness. lt is now no doubt flanting at the head of every freesoil paper at the North, and streaming on every banner over the land. -I should suppose that Mr. Joho P. Hale finds it right hard to get over. You see, my friend, (bey had a mighty stake on one card, and they must make sure ol that, or the gatne is up withtbem. Youcan see now how they came to make such a desperate play. I see it, says the old man, but I call it a bad mistake. I call it a bad mistake, a dreadful mistake, continued the speaker, addressing the audience, coming as it does upon the heels of all that bas been charged and denied, it leaves our South. ern democrats in a woeful dilemma. With what face will they deny secret union and fra. ternity of the Pierce leaders with the Freesoil- ers. Do they think now there is no danger of Mr. Van Buren ot bis son Jobn or of Mr. Pres- ion King, or of Joshua R. Giddings, or of any upoa their long list of active lreesoil adherents getting into the Cabinet? Is there no danger of that once stripped aud exposed demogogue, William J. Brown, being rewarded for bis past services and disappointments? But the State Righte party at the South! what is to become of them? Are they not “a regular portion ol the democratic ? and if so, may they not ex- pect to come in for a share of the spoil? Mr. Rhett might at least expect a seat io the Ca. binet. Well, something surely must be done for those Whigs who have gone over and given aid and comfort to the enemy. Mr. Robert ‘Toombs, of Georgia, heing one of the first and mos! conspicuous, may well claim a place ip this new category. Mr. Douglass as being the right hand man of Kossuth, and the peculiar representative of intervention, will of course come in as the exponent of that interest. Soule, the Frenchman, will take his place as the type of Fillibusterism. Any body will do to repre- sent the wholesale robbery of the old States now going on: So we may as well put down William J. Brown in this department. Now let us read how the catalogue would stand : FRaNKLIN Pierce, of New Hampshire, Martin Van Buren or Jobo, New York, R. B. Rhett, South Carolioa, Robert Toombs, Georgia, S. A. Douglass, Lilinois, Peire Soule, Louisiana, William J. Brown, Indiana. Verily, here would be “a tesselaied pave- ment,” a streak of fat and streak of Jean that ought, it would seem, to suit almos(-any sto- mach. I wonder how the execution of the fu- gitive slave law would fare in such a cabinet as thie. Here is a Marshall that stood by ata Gorsuch murder, and did not raise a finger to. wards saving the life of the owner, and did no- thing towards arresting the criminals afierwards. Dismissed, would he be, and prosecuted for a misdemeanor in his office. 1 aubmit to you, fel- low citizens, how likely it would be for euch thing to come to pass! And should euch an emergency ever again arise, and the fugitive slave law not be faithfully executed. That is, should it become a settled fact that by force of numbers in. the resisters, oF for the want of zeal or good faith in the President and his Ca- binet fugitive slave law shall not be car- ried into execution, it tbat our Uniow totters and ment is tried out; our flag we may select from our ne tinent’South of us a model falls: ovr experi new Government~ Or, we get look out some kind protector among t ful nations of Europe. .

HAVE several smal! but valuable plantations on the waters of Hanting Creek, in Iredell county, which I will sell on good terms. There is water pow- er on one of these tracts sufficient for any purpose.— Any one wishing either to purchase it or to invest cap- ital as a partner in the erection of a Factory, or machi- nery of any description upon it, will give me a call soon. These lands are all within one day’s travel of the Great Central Rail Road, ina healthy section of coantry. The above named water location is joining the Ea- gle Mills Manufacturing Company, and this place is now called Soath Troy ; and there is a fair prospect for a Rail Road ora Plank Road, to ran via Eagle Mills and Sooth Troy, or near there, leading via Mocksville, Hamptonville and Wilkesborough, on to- wards Virginia and the mountains ; when done, the rich provisions of those rich valleys will flow to Salis- bury, and thus enrich the Great Central Rail Road.— Then there will be a chance to speed all kinds of man- ufactared toa ready Market. Come and help me build Paper Mills, Brass and Iron Foundries, Wool Mills, or any thing else you please. We can com- mence and build a Rail Road to Salisbury and then to the mountains, we can make the Irou here, either the T or U, Iron, and we can also build the Cars and Lo comotives at Eagle Mills or South Troy.

The want of capital to commence far- ming, induces many of our farmer's sons as soon as {hey marry,to seek an over- seer’s berth, as a matter more of conven- ience, than taste, as a means of living for ‘asbort time only, inasmuch as they are usually furnished with houses and provis- ion by the employer and they are compar- atively at tittle expense in beginning the ‘world. It would not be reasonable to ex- | pect, many who resort to the business, ‘merely for convenience sake, intending to abandon it, as soon as circumstances will , permit, to give to the business that atten- tion and devotion, necessary to arrive at distinction—hence the many failures.— But when a man of good character and ‘sense, and industrious habits, embarks io the business, with the intention of pursa- ing it as a means of making a living. and has proper ambition to excel, be is almost ‘gure to succeed and acquire property, re- it. For the ay Pderrseee of the navigation of the Tenn- | ( | spectability, and influence. The calling is by no. means.a low. one, as some look Upon it, bat one of great responsibility, and none but men of good characters should be employed by planters to take charge of their servants and farms—the charge committed totheir care, is.too great to be intrusted to doubtful direction—the well being of the slave, and the interest of the owner, both alike, require men of character, to superintend, especially when the owner resides off the plantation.— Young men of good character, and less experience would answer. when the own- er is on the farm himself, and can direct the operations of business; until experi- ence can be acquired, especially in the management of slaves. Unless a man has been accustomed to the management of negroes, or has been brought up where slaves are on the plantation, he will very rarely succeed, without the assistance of the employer, and it would be almost a miracle, if he did, having no experience, and plunging immediately, into the most difficult portion of the planter’s duty.— Overseers, are therefore often blamed, when the planter should blame himself, for employing an inexperienced person to take charge of his bosiness—when he is aware that he cannot give his own per- sonal attention, to assist, and if he could perbaps he labors under the same difficul- ty, that the overseer does—not knowing how, properly to direct; and of course when the blind, lead the blind, they may both, be expected to fall into the grass, it not into the ditch. By this short sighted policy of the planter, to save a few dollars in the wages of an overseer, he often loos- es his hundreds, for none, but well con- ducted farms, will pay for their cultiva- tion. The planter, had much better hire out bis negroes, than to attempt to con- duct business, in a half handed, slovenly manner. As a matter of right, over his property, it is expected the owner of the farm, will direct what shall! be planted, and where it shall be done. In all matters of busi- ness, the employer and overseer, should freely confer with each other, as to the management of the crop; but let all or- ders go through the overseer, if practica- ble and all responsibility of the hands be to bim, for the manner of performing their work—if the owner deems punishment necessary, let the overseer inflict it. By this course, you avoid two systems of man- agement. on the plantation, which will not work well. The employer should sus- tain bis overseer, to carry out proper dis- cipline with bis slaves. If he thinks the | overseer is in error, he should never inti- /mate it, in the presence of the slave, it | will beget a spirit of insubordination— but in a gentle manner, when alone, point out to him his error, and any reasonable man will take it kindly, and improve from Slaves, should never be permitted, mach less encouraged, to bear news to the owner, in relation to tbe conduct of the overseer, or resist his authority, without being well punished. When there isa mutual good understanding, between em- ployer and overseer, there is but little dan- ger to be apprehended in the manage- ment of the slaves; bat otherwise diffi- culties, will continually occur. My slaves neither runaway. bear news to me, nor resist the overseer’s authority, and | rig- idly adhere to the rules above laid down. Conquest—Rossery.—-The Newport R. 1.) Advertiser, a leading Pierce and King paper, urges the election of Pierce as the means of getting the Sandwich Is- lands, Cuba, and Mexico!

But does any body expect that we can have all these things without war? And is any body willing to plunge this country into such a war of aggression, of wrong, of robbery? Whoever is so willing should vote for Pierce. All others should vote for Scorr and Grasam. There is safety to our honor, our peace, and our, prosperi- ty, only in Whig counsels,—Observer.

BERS OF THE SENATE. On the 9th instant, Mr. Steele present- ed the following Protest, which was en- tered on the Journal of the Senate : The undersigued, who voted in the neg- ative, do hereby most solemnly protest against the action of the Senate, on the 7th day of October, 1852, by which the following resolution was passed : Resolved, that from the certificates of the Sheriffs, exhibited to the Senate, Hen- ry M. Shaw is entitled to a seat in this ouse, as a Senator from the counties of Camden and Curritack. The case before the Senate, at the time said resolution was passed, as we find it, was as follows: The Sheriff of Camden county, certi- fies, under his hand and seal, that John Barnard was duly elected. A person, styling himself atone time “ Coroner,” and at another time, “returning officer of Cur- rituck county,” gives a certificate, not un. der seal, and without date, in which he professes to set forth the vote in both Cam. den and Currituck counties, and therein declares Henry M. Shaw duly elected by a majority of one vote. The affidavits ot the Inspectors, at one box in the county of Camden, state, that at said box, the names of seventy eight voters were recor- ded upon the scroll, and seventy nine votes were found in and counted out of the box. (a discrepancy not discovered by them at the time, and which they believe was pro- duced by a failure to record the name of one voter, owing to the press around them, while the balloting was going on) —-of which said seventy nine votes 62 were given for John Barnard, and 17 for Henry M. Shaw; that a certificate to that effect was written, signed by all the Inspectors, and delivered to the officiating Justice of the Peace, to be by him deliv- ered to the Sheriff of Camden, on the next day; that on the morning of the said next day said Justice discovered the dis- crepancy above named, and without the knowledge or consent of the other two In- spectors, or any one else, drew his pen through the figure “2” of the ‘62,” (the number of votes given for John Barnard,) and placed the figure “1” beneath the said mutilated figure “2 ;” and as thus altered, delivered the said certificate to the Sher- iff. That the sheriff of Currituck county was living on the day of election, but died before the day fixed by law for com- paring the votes—that said “Coroner,” or “returning officer,” met the Sheriff of Camden on the day fixed by law for said purpose, and, according to the certificate of the Sheriff of Camden, refused or neg- lected, after a demand to that effect was made, to exhibit the poll beoks of any of the election precincts of his county, except one; or to determine the result of the election in the manner prescribed by law. Also, the said “returning officer” from Currituck county, in bis said certificate, states the whole number of votes given in Camden county to have been 394; of which nomber John Barnard had 340, and Henry M. Shaw 53; shewing one more vote cast than counted. Further: Before the vote was taken on said resolution, John Barnard proposed to prove that at one precinct, in Currituck county, where the number of votes record- ed and the number of votes in the box were precisely the same, the Inspectors, at said precinct, added to the number re- ceived by Henry M. Shaw two votes, whieh were found in the Governor’s box —that other illegal votes were given for said Henry M. Shaw, and the Sheriff of Corrituck and others had voted for him by proxy. The undersigned, by a resolu- tion introduced, asked and were refused, a committee to hear proofs and report the facts. And further, before the vole was the undersigned to refer the whole Therefore, we protest against the said | action of the Senate, first. because the evidence presented by said Henry M. Shaw was not in conformity to the act of | Assembly, which requires the certificates, | or joint certificate, under seal, of both re- turning officers, and did not, prima facie, entitle him to take his seat. Secondly, be- cause the other facts in the case did not support the certificate of the retarning | officer of Currituck county, or supply its deficiencies. And, lastly, because said action makes a precedent dangerous to the liberties of the people, tending to take from them tbe right of selecting their own Representatives, and to place it in the hands of a majority of the Senate.

A few days agu, in conversation with some wealthy Democrats in this vicinity, and afer they had abused Gen. Scott and the Whig pary vatil they were at a loss for words,one of them demanded of me what there was in Gen Pierce’s character which would prevent my supporting him. I replied that if the fact of being an Abo. litioniet would hang a man by the laws of our country, I would guarrantee to hang Gen Pierce in three hours om the verdict of any jury of Democrats whieh could be selected in North Carolina or Virginia. This was received by them with holy horror. One of them was sent to me the next morning to know if I had not said too much against Gen. Pierce, and whether | was not prepared to recall the hasty expression before it was made public. I told him that | had not said anything which I was notable to prove. “ Let me hear the charges,” said be, “ on which you would hang bim.”— ‘Yoo do not deny,” said 1, “that Gen. Pierce voied against Mr. Brooks” carrying two slaves from Virginia to the Distsict of Columbia, do you?” “Ob, I admit that that is bad enough ; but is that all you can prove against bim,” was the response. “TI have six distinct charges against him ; but I will, in the next place, tell you something which I cannot prove to-day but think I sball be able to do so in three days.” “ What is that.” demanded he. I replied, “that Gen. Pierce’s friends acknowledge in his life that he abhors slavery as much as those who would dissolve the Union.” My antagonist became violently enraged swearing that it was a Whig lie, intended to ruin Gen. Pierce. “I shall send to Washiogton,” | replied, “and get a copy of his life, and if I find the expression there I shall use it, and that to the death of buth Gen, Pierce and his party; if it is not there I will then admit that it is a Whig lie.” Run. ning his hand into his pocket, and pulling out the life of Gen, Pierce, my opponent exclaimed, “ Here is the genuine life of General Pierce, issued by the Central Democratic Committee of Washington City; readit; [ have read it; the expression you allude to is not there.” I was not disposed to accept the assurance, but took the pamphlet and retired to read it. When I got to page 16, I found that the remainder had not been cut open ; I cut it, and on page 28 | found that this genuine biography did admit that Gen. Pierce said he abhorred slavery as much as those who would divide or dissolve the Union. I lost no time in showing the passage to my friend. He was thundersiruck, and tells everybody that he will never vote for Pierce. I believe that not one influential man in this neighborhood will vote forhim. Before ] made this discovery every Democrat in the neighbor. hood had the pamphlet by the dozen, begging tha Whigs to receive thein and read them.— Now not one can be had for any sum. I learn that the Democrats out in the country, to a man have pledged themselves to vote for Gen. Scutt it the Whigs can produce the life of General Pierce with that confession in it. Never was such @ damper thrown over any party as this discovery has over the Democrats in this place. They dare not open their lips ; if they do, they are told that they carry abolition documents ia their pockets to corrupt the people. With a little management we have been en. abled to procure a copy of the “genuine life”’ to which the writer of the letter relers, and find that it contains the passage which has excited so much concern amongst General Pierce’s Southern supporters. The publication is in pamphlet form, entitled “ Sketches of the Lives of Franklin Pierce and William R- King, can- didates of the Democratic Republican party for the Presidency and Vice Presidency of the Uni- ted States ;” and in the prefatory paragraph there is this sentence ; “To place before the public, without eulogy or ornament, the leading incideuts of their lives, the National Democrat. ic Executive Committee present the following brief and authentic sketches.” Wecannot be accused then, of resorting in this instance to opponents of General Pierce for information concerning his life and sentiments. We deal with a document prepared by his own commit. tee, and ia which every incident is presented in a way most likely to advance his interests. At +A SCENE IN CONCORD COURT’ N. H. Tarrying a few days in the above place last week, the wiiter attended court ; it seems that a Miss G. was sucing a Mr. R. for a breach of promise—damagee fi nd dollars. Gen, Pierce was counsel for the plaintiff, and Mr. for the defendant. Several withesses were examined, one wae a brother of the de. fendant. Gen. Pierce—*“ Well, sir. will you be kind enough to state to the court and jury when you saw these parties together, and what conversation paseed between them.” Witness —* No, sir.” Gen. Pie May it please the court, this is a question ng apon this case, and one altogether relevant and perti- nent, and [ ask the court to instruct.the wit. ness to answer,” Court—* Witness, answer the question.” Witness—* Well, sir, if I must I must, but 1 don’t like to, before all the -peo. ple. Last Friday night me and my brother went to see Miss Mary, and several things passed which I don’t remember; but I recol. lect this, the conversation turned upon the Mex- ican war.” Pierce—* Well, sir, go on."— Witness—* Well. we were talking about the | big men in that war, and Gen. Pierce's name was mentioned.” Pierce—* Well, sir, go on.” Witness—** And we all come to the conclusion unanimous, that if Gen. Pierce had not fainted so often be would have fought well.” Pierce, fainting—" Witness, stand aside.” Such an uproar [ never beard in all my lile. Pierce lost his case, and the court adjourned amidst great confusion and uproar. The above is the truth, witnessed by myself, and I presume no gentleman will deny it. A TRAVELLER. THE FREESOIL BIOGRAPHY. We are unable to comply, says the Wasbington Republic, with numerous ap- plications for copies of the *biography of General Pierce issued by the Democratic Executive Committee for Northern circu- lation. The only copy we have we in- tend to keep for presentation to the editor of the Union after the election. For the information of correspondents who may be unable to obtain a perusal of a publication which was never meant for Southern eyes, we repeat that at page 28 it reports these words as a paft of a speech delivered by Gen. Pierce at Man- chester, New Hampshire, on the 20th of November, 1850: ; “ The men who could dissolve the Union did not hate or deplore slavery more than he did.” 1 We have before us a copy of a se- cret Circular, issued by Messrs. B. B. Smith W. L. Otey, W. W. Holden and James T. Marriott, as * organs of the Democrat- ic Club,” appealing to that party in this County, in the most feeling manner, to ral- ly for * those noble champions (God save the mark!) of the rights of the South, Pierce and King.” Whigs! you see what the Pierce Van Buren leaders are doing—are you ready for the conflict? If not, lose no time— our adversaries are desperate, and will leave no means untried to carry the State for the Yankee Freesoiler !— Ral. Reg.

Wash. Signal. STEPHENS ON PIERCE. The Pierce men, says the Alabama Journal are much in the habit of quoting Stephens of Geogia against General Scott —in fact he bas become one of their ora- cles. Of course his opinion of Pierce is. of equal authority, and we commend to them his remarks at Crawfordville. Said Mr. Stephens : “The domocratic Convention by which Gen. Pierce was nominated, was compos. ed of freesoilers, abolitionists, secessionists, tarilf men, anti-tariff men, internal im. provement men, anti-internal improve- | ment men, intervention and noninterven- | tien—politicians of every shade of com- | plexion found a welcome of this mongrel | association. Their object was power. and office—they cared nothing for princi. | ple. With a body thus composed, it can- | net-he a matier of much surprise that all the ablest and best statesmen of the par- | ty should be sacrificed and set aside while | seme unknown, unexpected, but thought | to be available individual, should be ta- | ken up as the instrument of the party.— | The result is known.

Ja Ohio, Mr. Carter, Locofoco member ol Congress, lately spoke at Sandusky, Obio, and the following out line of bis remarks by the Sandusky Mirror, a Democratic print, will enable Southern voters to jodge of the style in which Gen. Pierce is advocated by his Buckeye friends. The nonchal- ance with which Mr. Carter throws over- board the platform, while clinging to the candidate, will commend itself to the de- lighful attention of Mr. Clemens; “The meeting at the Court House on Friday night was a fine one. The court house was filled to overflowing with an intelligent audience. Mr. Carter nade a very able speech, that was listened to with breathless attention. Most of it was de- voted to the discussion of the proposition that the democratic party was the party of progress and liberty. Under this head he discusse| the action of the late Balti- more Convention. He demonstrated that the action of thut convention endorsing the Compromise measures, was a usurpation and a violation of the Democratic creed— not a part of it; was in direct contraveh- tion of the faith of Qhio Democracy, as repeatedly declared—not an expression of that faith. The democracy of Ohio would stand by her repeatedly avowed opinions. The heart of the people of the great progressive party was right, as time would demonstrate. ‘He was for abolishing most of the navy, and all its corruptions ; for abolishing the customhouses, and their corrupt re- tainers, and substituting free trade and direct taxation; for checking land mono- poly, and distributing the public lands to actual settlers; for kicking that part of the Baltimore platform referring to the Compromise, as a foot ball, and keeping the Democratic party in the line, as a par- ty of progress and liberty. These genu ine Democratic propositions recieved the most hearty, prompt, and frequent respon. ses from the delighted audience. ‘These measures were to be carried out by Congress. The Presidency was an ex- ecutive office. He had no duties legiti- mately beyond the execution of the laws. He thought Mr. Pierce would not attempt any others, and therefore he thought it best to elect him. All he wished of a Presi: | dent was to Jet Congress alone in the per- ud’ the hoe heads of the formance of its legislative duties: and it was the members of Congress the people should look to and hold responsible.” AN INDIANA DEMOCRAT.

The nomination of Gen. Pierce as the Dem. : ocratic candidate fur President struck the Dem. | ocrats with surprise, they expecting Buchanan | or Cass, one or the other of them, to be their | standardbearer. ‘They now exclaim that, un. der the two-thirds rule, no prominent man can ever be again nominated by the party; that a third party or faction will always exist in the | convention to prevent men being chosen who have been belore the nation thirty and forty years, like Buchanan and Cass; that the two thirds rule is anti Democratic, aud that a ma- | Jority onght to govern elections and conventions. | { This is, in my opinion, the true creed ina Re. | Therefore I cannot | | AND WILL NOT VOTE FoR Pierre, and many of | my neighbors are of my opinion. 1 shall vote | for Gen.

How long the lamp of conversation holds vet to burn, between two persons only, is curi- ously set down in the fullowing passage from Count Gonfalliener’s account of bis imprison. ment :—'Fifieen years I existed in a dungeoo ten feet square! During six years I bad a companion ; during nine [ was alone! I nev. er could rightly distinguish the face of him who | shared my captivity in the eternal twilight of our cell. The first year we talked incessantly together ; we related our past lives, our joys forever gone, over and over again. The next year we commnonicated to each other our thoughts and ideas on all subjects. The third year we had no ideas to communicate ; we were | begining to lose the power of reflection. The fourth, at the interva) of a month or so, we would | open our lips to ask each other if it were in- deed possible that tha world went on as gay and bustling as when we formed a portion of mandkind. The fifih we were silent. The sixth he was taken away, I never knew where, lo execution or to liberty. But I was glad when he was gone; even solitude was better | than the dim vision of the pale, vacant face.— One day (it must have been a year or two af. ter my companion left me) the dungeon door was opened, and a voice proceeding 1 knew not, whom exclaimed: ‘By order of bis im. perial Majes'y, I iatimaze to you that your wife died a year ago.’ Then the door was sbet, and I heard no more, they had’ but flang this great agony in upon me, and left me alone with : : | it again.

We are constrained to admit that in the main thisis a very straight forward, manly, and patri- otic State paper. Much more so than we ever expected from a democratic source. Of course he must crow a little over the success of that valuable conception, to wit, his plan for amend. ing the Constitation. And we do nov eare a fig if he does; for we always regarded it as a sim- ple movement on the part of the Whigs to insist upon the open Convention al the time they did so, a8 a subs:itute fur the plan proposed by His Excellency: For the first contest between bim at.d Gov. Manly, showed very. plainly that this mode was accepiable tothe people of North Car- olina, which was made atill more manifest by the second campaign between these candi- dates. Deseried as we were upon this ques- tion by the Western Democrats, it always seemed to us a vain thing, to expect that we could do any thing lor Western rights in this way. We, for one, are disposed to profit so far by the defeat which we sustained in the late Gubernatorial election, as to take for granted this one fact, to wil, thal LEGISLATIVE INSTRU- MENTALITY is the mode preferred by the people | of North Carolina for making amendments to the Constitution. We are satisfied also, that a large majority of our people are in favor of infusing more of tbe popular element into our form of Govern- ment. Whigs and Democrats have both said so through their parity Conventions. Sv that neither party can oppose the further amend— ments proposed by this Message in the mode of electing Judges and Justices of the Peace. We concur, therefore, in this recommendation, and we think if aliogether advisable tbat the atnend. ments should be made in the manner prescrib- ed in the State Constitution. When it shall please our Eastern friends. (or whether it will ever please them,) to admit the West to equal political rights, is now pretty much left to their merciful consideration.— Knocked under, as the Western Democrats are, as to these rights—conlent as they seem to be - vse eee OBE, Lie N TE Bere pe ems an net WHIGS, TO-THE POLLS!

No less gratifying are the views set forth in | this document on the subject of State improve. | ments. We rejoice to find that these under. takings are regarded by His Excellency as_ likely to prove successful. We are cheered by the prospects he presents of great good to the public without any increase of the burthens of taxation. We are more gratified at this, for we were afraid that the croakings of certain | demagogues of both parties might have reach. ed bis ears and influenced bis judgment. But in this matier he has shown himself a true and faithful son of North Carolina, and in this re- respect, at least, worthy of the station he oc. | cupies. No less conservative and seund are his | views upon the subject of taxation. The ine. | qualities pointed out by bim certainly seem to exist, and without having devoted much con- | sideration to the subject, the amendments in| the Revenue System proposed by him, appear | to us eminently proper. Upon the whole, we repeat that the Message | of Governor Reid has raised him very much im our estimation. It is so. patriotic, indepen, dent, and so statesman like, that we ‘are en. tirely disarmed of al¥ digpoeition to criticise’ its! minor defects. li certainly argues well (or the | character of ovr State, 1 s¢d'a Chief Magis. trate elevating bimsell above the admésphere ~ of party politicasand bravely. peaking for the | good of the common wea!th. beta we ex: er to act on the resignations of two of the Professors of Davidson College.

A vile out-cast, whose father, even, Was pears the “Union” newspaper, has at, last denied the charge that it had said “the | Freesoilers of the North, constituted a por. | { | | | tion of the Democratic party proper, and | if Franklin Pierce was elected President, they would receive a full share in the dis- tribution of offices,’ &c. It is a little singular that the “ Union” would permit so grave a matter to float aboat in the country for so long a time _ without putting upon it, its seal of con demnation. That paper is too watchful of such matters we think, to plead over- sight as the cause of its delay. We ap- prehend, therefore, that its denial, does not entirely cover the true point in the case. We do not receive the Union at our office, and cannot, therefore, know the precise | | { | language used. The “ Jubilee” is at fault | in not itself publishing the Union’s Card, especially as it calls upon us to retract | what had been said in the “ Watchman” on the subject. Nevertheless, if the Un- ion’s denial is directly applicable to the publication made in this paper, though its long silence is a suspicious circumstance, | we have no hesitation in granting it the simple justice which it has a right to claim ot all who have misrepresented it in this matter. But whilst we do this, we see under the editorial heads of a number of democratic journals, the vile slander, chasging’ Gen. ‘falsehoods and forgeries ‘ler Hamilton's denial of | bell. Scott with issuing instractions to the re- | cruiting officers of the army, against en-— listing foreigners, alledging in those in- structions that “ foreigners cannot be trust- ed.” this charge ; and those who are giving publicity to it have seen the most ample and satisfactory denial of it ; and not hav- ing the shadow of proof to sustain it in the of wilful misrepresentation. Have they the magnanimity they require of others? With what face can the © Jubilee,” for in- stance, speak of “ magndnimity” to us, whilst it is foond'in the category of those who are perpetrating so base a wrong against Gen. Scott. = Look ‘again at the éoutse’of the locofo- co press in regard to the out BY thé Un , There is not one word of trath in | | with his known and publicly recor face Of that’ denial, are therefore guilty eas Socal mus Dili.

And with the rise of the sun, came the multitudes from every section of the country. Forsyth poured into the town her population from every part of the county. Stokes was nu. merously represented from the vallies of the Town Fork and the Dan, and by her mountaig boys.

A good free dinner had been well prepared | | and spread out_on several long tables near by, around which the crowd there assembled.— The whole proyisions were pretty well con. sumed, although some three thousand pounds | of meats, bread in proportion, and large bowls of soup had been prepared for the occasion.

Honorable James T. Morehead was next introduced, and after addressing the assembly (it being now near sun set,) he gave notice that he would conclude his speech at the Court House that night. At 8 o’clock, he appeared and addressed an attentive audience until about 10 o’clock. His speech was much applauded during its delivery.

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 sofficient 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- vineed as we are that nothing more is needed to secure your cordial co-operation in a favorable and early re- sponse to this appeal.

HE subseriber has put up machinery for stretch ing, cementing and riveting bands with copper rivets. The bands are stretched with powerful ma- chines, made expressly for that purpose, and the diffi- culty of banas stretching and ripping under the com- . mon way of making them, is entirely removed by this | process. Bands made in this way will hold their width evenly, run true, and have a uniform bearing on the drum or pulley, and will give from 15 to 20 per cent. more power than those made in the ordinary way.— | They are made out of the best selected oak tanned | Spanished Leather, and no pains will be spared to | make them equal to the best Northern bands, and will | be sold as low as they can be brought in New York. | Bands will be kept for sale by J.

Having been asked very often recently when it is going to rain, and having bad no replies to give to the question, we are put to the necessi- ty of appealing to the best authority we can find at hand, which is the following from the London Journal of Agriculture: The ordinary mode of judging whether rain is near or not is by the barometer. This, how. ever. unconnected with other observation, is a very fallible guide during changeable weather, the period when assistance is most needed. Any sudden change in the height of the bar. ometer indicates an approaching variation of the weather, but probably of only short contin. vance; a gradual alteration also indicates a change, but of no longer duration. A very ra- pid depression to an extremely low point is gen- erally followed by a severe tempest. The ris- ing of the mercury usually indicates fair, as its descent fureteils rainy weather.

He says :— bread and meat, wool and cotton, drawn from the surface of the earth, sent to London, and buried in the ground or washed in thz Thames, to feed and clothe the entire population of the world for a century, under a wise system of ag. riculture and horticulture.

REID. Fe the Honoruble the General Assembly of »»o Favored by a boontiful Providence with Peace and Pienty, the present would seem @ most auspicious period for directing oar thoughts and energies to such ohjecis o tegisiation as are cxlculated to advance ‘the great interests of the State, and to per petuate the blessings of liberty. Gerernment was instituted tur the security ef the rights of persone and of property, and tor the promotiva of the substauiial prosperity and j of the people. ‘These vbjects, con- the ts constitutional limitations, constitute the great political chast to guide Legislative and Executive action. Among the subjects which claim the consid. eration vf the General Assembly, is the ques thon ot Cunstitutivoal Refurm. At the sessivo of 1850-51, the General Assembly passed, by » § @ consiiiuiional majusity,a bill (o amend the§ Censtituiiva, so as io extend to every freeman who now bas the gight (a vole lor ihe Commons the righ! alsu to {- for the Seuaie. ‘The ex ecutive Proclama@Qon on this subject, was pub- lished agreeably to the requirements of the Le- gislature, 1 earnestly recommend that said amendment be passed by the constitutional ma. jority of the present Genesal Assembly, and submitied to the voters of the Siaie lor ratifica. tion. The Constitution, as it now stands, probib ite every man who does not own filly acres of hand trom voting in the Senate. This provis ioa, it is believed, distranchises in the Senate about one half of the free white men of the Siate and embraces in its proscription a large class, sabe, in point of merit, intelligence and patrivt- jem, are nut inferivt to any portion of our pop: lation.’ ‘The propositive is not to take trom the landholders their just rights but elevate anoth- et meritorious class of our peoble to equal pri- vileges at the ballot bos. | is a marked fea: ture in the progress of this reform, thal a great portion of the freebolders, with a commendable disinterestedness, regarded this as a question of principle, and of right, and among them were found its earliest advocates and most zealous eupporters. ' A large majority of the people, in every por. tien of the State, are in favor of Equal Suffrage, and prefer the Legislative mode of effecting it. The greater prf of the expense necessary to attain Equa! Suffrage has already been incur red ; and now to abandon the legislative mode, andto rely upon the Convention mode, would not only cause delay, but au increase of expen- ditere, ‘Thea Convention mode is impractica- ble. ‘Ihe constitutional majority cannot be ob- tained in favor of a Conveuiiun; and, ifthe fate of this question is made to depend upon calling a Convention, its defeat may be regarded as certain, ‘The Legislative mode is not only ex preasly provided fur in our State Constilution, but ie also recognised in the Constitution of the United States, and one of the modes for ratify. ing amendmends, by the States, tothe Federal Constitution. "Thie mode affords time for examination and reflection in relation to the amendment pro posed, and finally, when it sbal! have passed two guccessive Legislatures, i! cannot be adupt ed without the sanction of a majority of the vo- ters of the State at the ballot box. “A free, open and unreetricted Couvention” could have po such resiriciion upon its power. Hence, a weil founded apprehension exists inthe miuds ef many ardent [riends of constitutional relorm, against the Convention mode of effecting it.— A Convention is impracticable and inexpedient, and I regard the Legislative as the safe and oaly practicable mode, at ibis lime, of amend. ing the constitution. A change of the Basie of Representation would be fraught with mischief. Even the ag. itation of the subject is calculated to destroy that harmony among the various portions of the State, which is so essential to prosperity and happiness. Let us unite in directing our al. tention to objects (hut may produce more bene. ficia) resulis. It ie @ circumstance gratifying, and at the same time highly complimentary to the State, that however much the people may desire con- stitutivnal reform, they promptly reject any oth. er than & constiiutional mode to attain it. 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 recommeud to the favorable considera- tion of the Genera) Assembly. There is no object of more general impor- tance than Common Schools, nor is there any question more worthy of the favorable consid. eration of the General Asseinbly aud the people of the State. It is contended by some that the present mode of dividing the School Fund, is unjust, and that it ought to be Civided according to white in. stead of federal population. ‘Ihe present basis af distribution bas met the approval of many etecessive Legislatures, and | do not see any goed reason to recommend a change in this re- spect. No mode can be devised that wiil ope. rate with equa) benefit to all the counties. ky is submitted, whether the appointment of @ general superiniendent may not tend to im. prove common schools, and to advance the cauee of education. Such an officer could no dowbi do much to produce uniformity in the sys- tem, aad to diffuse a proper spirit on the sub- Jeet througboyt the Siate. ris believed that the present sysiemn has greatly diminished the number of private schools. In many instances, it would seem that a reliance upon the common achool prevents the district from providing a private school; and it is often found that a dis: trict has a very imperiect school, and unly fur a very short period during the year. The schools should, if possible, be of such a char- acier as to inake i( the interest of all classes to patronize them ; for they are intended alike tor ibe poor and the rich. execution of the system ie more delect. ive than the system itself One cause why our gare not in a more flourishing condition, is frum the fact that public attention ‘has ev sufficiently aroused to the importance ct.

As yet, there has been nothing actually received from escheats, but it is believed that the act passed upon this subject at the Iast session, will, in the course of time, greatly increase the Liter Fund. The President and Direetors of the Linera Fund will in due time submit a report, showing the condition of the fund, and the proceedio of the Board in relation to other subjects com- mitted to their management. A judicious system of laternal Improvements hy the State, has ever been regarded asa sub ject of great importance, and entitled to the favorable consideration of the General Assem- uly. ‘The want of cheap transportation is deeply felt by the agricultural, commercial, manulacturir.g and mining interests of the whole State. ‘To overcome this inconvenience could nut fail to increase the reward of every indus. trial pursuit, and add to the wealth and pros perity of the people of the State. Believing that the members of the General Assembly, coming trom the various counties, will be fully prepared to give due consideration to the claims of every portion of the State, I do not feel call. ed upon to decide between the peculiar merits of the many public improvements which demand the patronage of the State. Works of internal improvement necessarily involve a large ex- penditure, and should be undertaken with a due regard to their practicability, and to the ad equacy of the resources and means necessary to complete them. The Genera! Assembly which aurhorizes a work of internal improve Ment, ought, as a general rule, to provide for raising the means necessary for its completion. Whether public opinion and the condition of the treasury will jastify the State at this time ia embarking in other aud new objects of im. provement, and if so, to what extent, is a ques. tion which js aubmitted to the prudence and wisdom of the General Assembly. A wise and prudent system all should approve ; a wild and extravagant scheme all should deprecate. The requisite amount having been subscrib- ed, according to the te:ims of the Act pass~ ed ai the last session of the General As— sembly ta incorporate the Raleigh and Gas— ton Railroad Company, in the month of Octo. ber last, the Commissioners on the part of the State delivered over the Road and fixture to the new Company. Since that time, the Road has éeased to be under the control and manage ment of the State. Since the transfer to the new Company, the road has been undergoing a0 entirely new superstructure, which is nearly complete. This improvement bas already enhanced fa- cilities to the State, ‘The stock has been sub. seribed to form the connecting link between this Road andthe Wilmington and Raleigh and Seaboard and Roanoke Railroads, and this im- portant work is in course of construction. At the last session a Resolution was passed, authorizing the President and Commissiouers of the Raleigh and Gaston Railroad to antici. pate ihe receipts of the road by the purchase of two hundred and filty tons of iron, for the pur, pose of repairing (he road, and authorising them Bio pledge the receipts of the road for the iron thus purchased. | was provided that the State should, in no manner, or in any event, be held liable for the purchase money ; aad, when the new charter should be accepted, the iron should be sold for the benefit of the State. In pursu ance of this resolution, the Presideat of the road purchased two hundred and fifiy tons of iron from Mr. Anderson, of Richmond, and it was applied to repairing the Road. A part’of the iron has been taken up by the new Company, and a part of it, | presume, still remains on the road. The new Company bas made no propo sition to purchase the iron. Unless the Legis. lature shall otherwise direct, the iron will be sold for the benefit of the State. lt is believed that, after the settlement of the accounts and the payment of liabilities for the expenses of the Road, there will be litle, if any thing, applicable to the payment of the debt contracted for this iron. I! the Legislature re. quires the proceeds of the sale of the iron to be placed in the Treasury, it would pre vent Mr. Anderson from receiving any portion of his debt. Should the proceeds be applied to this debt they would not pay one half of it. 1 recommend that the General Assembly au- thorize the proceeds of the sale of the iron to be applied towards the payment of the debt contracted for its purchase; and itis submitted whether an appropriation shall be made to pay the balance. The Report of the President in relation to the affairs of the Road, while under the control of tbe State, will in due time be communicated to the General Assembly. In enrolling the bill passed at the last Session to incorporate the Raleigh and Gaston Rail Road Company, it is believed that some of the sec. mtions as il passed were omitied, which renders farther legislation on the subject necessary.— One of the omitied sections authorized the ap. pointment of four directors on the part of the individual stockholders and only three on the part ofthe State. ‘The Board of Internal Im. provements only appointed the number provided lor in the omitied section. But the State owns one balf of the stock, and it is believed she ought to have the appointment of one half of the Directors, and it is reeommended that such provision be made by law, An Eugineer was employed to survey Neuse River, and the balance of the appropriation made under the Act of 1850—-'52, after paying the expenses of the survey, bas been subscrib: ed tothe Neuse River Navigation. Company, as directed by said Act, and a part of the ap. propriation paid tv the Treasurer of the Com. pany. This is a work of importance, and its completion promises highly beneficial results, The Report of the Engineer appointed to make the survey is herewith iransmitied. Three Commissioners were appoinied under the act of 1848—'9 to superintend the improve. provement of Tar River. ‘This is a desirable improvement, but it is doubted whether the ap- propriation is sufficient tu accomplish the ob- ject lor which it was intended. The whole amount of subscription of theiy Siaie, tothe Cape Pear and Deep River Navi: gition Company, has been paid. The work’ ts ogfessing, aod promises to opeh new anc faluable commercial advantages not bithert Pajoyed by the State. ~ ?

An examination into the revenue laws will sbow that the present system operates very unequally. At present, $1000, loaned at inter est, pays 180 ceuts, while $1000, boarded a— gainsi the public convenience and pablic poli- y, pays nothing al ail ; $1000 invested iu land, pays 300 cenis, while $1000 invested in trade, pays 100 cents. Oher unjust discriminations might be shown. As # genera! rule, it is believed that the tax epon the estate of each person should be in proportion to its value, subject to such excep- tions only as circumstances and fundameutal principles may justify. Inasmuch as property of the ane hand vught not to be made the test of public privilege, ueither on the viher onght the absence of property to exempt the person feom bearing an equitable share of the public burden. Therefore it 1s thought just and prop- er to impose capitation tax. Slaves are regard. ed to sume extent as both persons and property. The following wise provision in our State Con- stitution, which ought not to be departed from, déftines the power uf legislation upon this sub— ject, mington and Manchester Railroad Company. ' If the Legislature intended that :he number of difectors on the part of the State, should only bs in proportion to her stock, farther legislation on the subject would appear to be necessary. The Wilmington and Raleigh Railroad, witb © energetic management, bas of late overcome. to a considerable extent, the early embarrass. ments this important work had to encounter.— The Company has commenced paying divi dends, thus enabling the Literary Board to disiribute an increased amount for the support of Common Schools. The North Carolina Railroad, it is believed, is progressing ae rapidly as could be expecied, considering the circomstances attending its commencement and prosecution. This im- provement promises to afford new and increas- ed means of transportation to a considerable portion of the State, heretulore deprived of such facilities. Tbe President of the Company will, submit a report in relation tv the progress and condition of the work. It is probable that application will be made during the present year, or early io the next, for the first instalment of the State’s subscrip- tion to the stock of this road. To raise the sui, State bonds are authorized to be issued and sald. {t is believed that this loan, as well as all others required by the State can be pro- cured upon better terms by authorizing the Public Treasurer to issue Covpon Bonds. An act was passed at the last session of the General Assembly, appropriating twelve thou. sand dollars, “ owt of the first moneys collected after the first day.of January 1952, from the Cherokee honda tied from the sale of Chero. kee lands,” for the survey of a Railroad route from Salishury to the ‘Tennessee line. ‘The Agents state, that only a small sum applicable to this appropriation bas been collected. It was not therefore in the power of the Board of Internal Improvements, \o procure the execu. tion of the survey. It is to be regretted, that this could not be done before the commence, ment of the present session of the Legislature, as the contemplated line runs through a portion of the State, where the people are deprived of the means of convenient transportation, and are therefore deeply interested in the subject. It is uncertain, under the present Act, when 4 sufficient som will be collected to defray the expense of the survey. Should the Legislature desire it to be made at an early period, an ap propriation for that purpose will be the means by which it ean surely be accomplished. The Fayetteville and Western Plank Road is in course of extension. ‘The whole amount of the State’s subscription to this work has been paid. The stock has already been pay* ing dividends into the State Treasury. This not only bids fair to be a valuable improvement, but the stock it is believed will be a good in. vestment for the State. The Report of the President and Directors of the Company is herewith transmitted. An Agent was appointed to superintend the construction of the Western Turn-pike road. A cunsiderable portion of the Road has already been made, and other parts of it are under con- tract. The Agent, itis believed, has faithfully performed his duty in superintending the work. Toll gatherers bave already been appointed on the portion of the road completed, but a report of the amount of tolls collected has not yet been received. It is respectfully submitied whether legisla live action is not necessary on the subject of public high.ways. This is a subject of general importance to the State, and has been too much neglected. Good roads will be found to ad— vance the interests of all the industrial pursuits of the State. The mode of assessing the la— bor to build and repair public high ways is un- equal and unjust. ‘The work done on the pub. lic roads is a tax paidin labor. It often occurs that a person of quite limited estate contributes in the course of the year a considerable amount of labor to Roads, while his nearest neighbor who has a large estate contributes but little or nothing at all for that purpose. It becomes the duty of the present General Assembly to lay off the State into Electoral, Congressional, and Senatorial Districts ; and apportion the members of the House of Com mons among the several Counties of the State. It is respecttully submitted, whether public convenience and the ends of public justice do wot require the formation of one or two addi—' tional Judicial Circuits, and the election of a corresponding number of Judges. The fiscal year closes on the 31st day of Oc tober, when the Public Treasurer will subsmit his Report giving a detailed account of the op- erations and condition of the Treasury. The State debt is as follaws :— Siate bonds already issued, Loans authorized by law for various works of Internal Im. provement for which it is expec- ted bonds will be issued during the next two years, “SECTION III. 1. Capitation tax shall be equal throughout the State upon all individuals subject to the same. 2. All free males over the age of twenty-one years, aud under the age of forty-five years, and all slaves overthe age of tweive years, aad capitation tax, aud po other person shall be ble polls as heretofore prescribed by law in cases of bodily intirmity, It will be seen that slave property must form taxation. White males alone are subject tu a poll tax, while a pull tax is impused on both male and female slaves, and the period of tax— ation commences nine years earlier and con— tinues five years longer. ‘Thus it will appear that by taxing both sexes the amount of reve— nue collected from the tax on slaves is double the amount collected on white polls, in propor— tion to the population of the two races ; and the difference in the duration of the period, for which they are taxed is equivalent to one hun— dred per cent more. It is therefore obvious that in proportion tothe whole number of each, the poll tax paid on the slaves is three times as much as the poll tax on the white population. Constitution has imposed a tax on slaves in the two fold character of persons and property, and that an ad valorem tax cannot be imposed on that species of estate. Persons and property being the principal ob- jects of taxation, they should bear a fair aud just relation to each other, in a system of reve— nue. Itis believed that, after excepting slaves, each person’s estate real and personal, includ— ing money, whether atinterest or not, ought to be taxed alike, according tovalue. This would require every person to contribute in proportion to the value of his or ber estate, and would e— qualize the public burden between the various classes, upon principles of justice. I know of no better rule to ascertain the ability of the owner to pay, or the degree of protection his estate requires from government, than by re— sorting to the actual value of such estate. This system need not interfere with taxing certain employments, and the income on pro— féssions, as is now done. Such persons as do not possess personal estate of the vatue of one hundred and fifty dollars, ought to be exempt from property tax, and an exemption of a like amount might be made in favor of all others. A system of revenue, based upon these princi— ples, is recommended to the favorable consid— eration of the General Assembly. On the 8h of May, 1851, Asa Biggs, B. F. Moore and R. M. Saunders, Esquires, were ap— pointed commissioners, under the act of last session of the General Assembly, to revise the public statute laws of the State. On the 2d day of August, 1851, R. M. Saunders sent in his resignation, which, in consequence of my necessary absence, did not reach me till the 24th of that month. His letter of resignation is herewith communicated. I have received no official report from the commissioners ; but in the latter part of the month of August last, it came to my knowledgethat the commission— ers, prior to the date of this resignation, had decided not to report the revisal to the present Legislature.

A few days preceding the election there was issued from the “ Ju- bilee” office a secret circular, dated Nov. 2, containing that vile forgery, the Camp- bell letter, and several other charges of a similar character. Fortunately, this was discovered in time to counteract its effect But where, or to what extent it was circulated abroad, and with what effect, we have not yet ascertained. On Monday, another circular of a simi lar character and from the same source was pat into circulation. This was not discovered untilnear mid day on Tuesday. We have at hard a copy of it; and for the curiosity of our Whig friends and the mortification and shame of those concern- ed in putting it forth, we here present it to the public. THE JUBILEE.—VOTERS! Will you support a rank Abolitionists for the high of- ~ fice of President of the United States? Winfield Scott the Whig Candidate was nominated by Seward and his - party and not by Southern votes. It has not been ten days since Scott dined with Seward at Auburn-New York, and had a private conference with him of two or three hours. This Seward is the leader of the “ High- er Law” or Rank Abolition Party at the North. Scott has said that he is in favor of abolition of slave- ty, in a letter over his own signature. He is also in favor of a United States Bank, a high ' Tariff, and is opposed to Free Trade. He is opposed to allowing foreigners the right to become naturalized American citizens. These are factsthat cannot be de- nied. Will you support a man for the Vice Presidency whu ' is opposed to Free Suffrage? Wm. A. Graham is op- = P< posed to the people’s exercising that inestimable right. # Let the Whigs deny it, if they can. Het and John Kerr § entertain the same views. No? Vote for Pierce and King the people’s candi- * dates, the true exponents of the great national demo- | cratic party of the Union.

We have reliablg reports from several of the adjoining counties, viz: From Da- vie.a Whig gain of 10 on Kerr’s vote.

I HAVE several smal! but valuable plantations on the waters of Hunting Creek, in Iredell county, which I will sell on good terms. There is water pow- er on one of these tracis sufficient for any purpose.— Any one wishing either to purchase it or to invest cap- ital as a partner in the erection of a Factory, or machi- nery of any description upon it, will give me a call soon. These lands are ali within one day’s travel of the Great Central Rail Road, ina healthy section of country. The above named water location is joining the Ea- gle Mills Manvfacturing Company, and this place is now ealled Soath Troy; and there is a fair prospect fora Rail Road ora Plank Road, to run via Eagle Mills and Soath Troy, or near there, leading via Mocksville, Hamptonville and Wilkesborough, on to- wards Virginia end the mountains; when done, the rich provisions of those rich valleys will flow to Salis- bury, and thus enrich the Great Central Rail Road.— Then there will be a chance to speed all kinds of man- ufactared goods to a ready Market. Come and help me build Peper Mills, Brass and Iron Foundries, Wool Mills, or any thing else you please. We can com- mence and build a Rail Road to Salisbury and then to the mountains, we can make the Iron here, either the T or U, fron, and we can aiso build the Cars and Lo comotives at Eagle Mills or South Troy. So let us look into this matter for our own advancement, and the credit of the State. ANDREW BAGGARLY. N.B.

Pierce.— Thas the cause are, on either side, proper- ly matched with wen that aptly represent them. -The ends of the Whigs have ever been national only ; broad, liberal, bene- ficent, conservative. pacific ; and such as their general policy, such the character and the services of their candidate. This is equally true of the other side: the end at which they aim is party, not the coun. try; and he whom they bring forward can be said only to have served, or to be likely to serve, party. The Whig policy promi. ses encouragement to the useful arts, to public works, to the spread and the invi- goration of law, of order, of industry, of public and private good and happiness; of prosperity and quiet at home, of peace and good will to nations abroad. The Democratic policy forbids all those, and more than threatens all these. The Whigs aspire to cultivate, as the supreme duty and good of a nation, the great arts of peace ; but to caltivate them under the arm of one who can, if need be, shine in those of war, and wield those dreadful for- ces which a people must sometimes use, for safety or for honor: the so-called De mocracy would impose upon us a man whose civil] abilities are, as well as bis civil doctrines, negative, and who promi- ses us any thing but peace, while he is still less fit for war. On wise administration, not.empty doc trine; on all the practical good that the right powers of Government can be made to reach, not a barren self-disqualification from their high trust ; on giving all need perfection to our sway and our laws at horne before attempting to force them upon weaker nations around us; on giving sta bility to the boundless but most undevel- oped good we already possess, instead of rushing and trampling over it in pursuit of every folly that can style itself Pro- gress, and every crime that claims to be our Manifest Destiny, the Whigs are in- tent. For such great purposes they have placed themselves under the standard of | : | ty of the same two thirds rule which in one who has accomplished great and sur prising things, that will stand a mark to other nations and times. For the reverse of all this, the Democrats have just as fit- ly placed themselves under the standard date for the dist e dis d office of ‘Prost: dent of the’ United States. It will: nurdsd too strong to say that there will be a’con stant probs of seeing the “a ty ulidldnos patale cee and virtaé. ‘ And this will be Constitution by those who are able!téws timate the share which the Execetive Government must necessarily have’in its good or ill administration.” = (2096 The expectation thas impressively at> nounced was realized su often and se loug by the elevation to the y of citix zens * pre-eminent for ability and vittwe? that the “ constant probability” predicted by Madison and his aideticenddenpeds length to be generally regarded almost as acertainty. In all these instdnces’ the “ pre-eminence” had won by wlongieourss of conspievous public and the names of the patriots odered them had been familiar to the as hous hold words. When the generation ofthe Revolution was about passing away, .thé field for selection became wider.:: Politi- cians had betore taken upon themeéives to save the People the trouble of distia> guishing between a number of candidates; »y making a selection forthem in what in the phrase of the day, was termind is “caucus” of members of Congress. -This oligarchical usurpation. was at length frowned down by public opinion, and Abé caucus became an “ obsolete idea.” But the increasing number of candidates for the Presidency was supposed by the polit- ical parties of the country to call tor-some expedient for concentrating the actiomof those who agreed in political sentiment, but differed in personal preferences. This consideration gave rise to the calling of Conventions of Delegates from primary assemblies of the people, for the np. om of selecting from the names already: fore them a candidate of each party. ft would be an interesting and somewhat amusing task to trace the steps by which this apparently harmless egntrivance has, in the hands of one of the great political parties of the country, not only resuscita- ted the old Caucus in substance, but bas infused into it new elements of mischief, and placed it in new positions of antago- nism to the spirit of the Constitution aad, to Republican principles. The “ Copven- tions” of the party which. with a coolness only equalled by its audacity, has arroga- ted the name of “ Democrats,” have been notoriously for the last thirty years the creatures of Congressional machination=~ a scheme for usurping the power of the Sovereign People, with the additional évil' of a diminished responsibility on the patt’ of the usurpers. So long as these Conventions confi themselves to efforts to unite the public: opinion which different candidates had, divided. any occasional irregularities in their action were comparatively .anim- portant. But when they undertook; as they did in the canvass of 1844, to°manu=: facture public opinion. and to foist‘on the: people, through a machinery cunningly and eclandestinely devised, a Chief Magts- trate whose name was scarcely known’ out of his own neighborhood, and who" whatever may have been his diligence as a partisan, was certainly, before his nomi- nation, as little “pre-eminent for ability. and virtue” in the eyes of his own a8.in. those of the opposite party ; when we Say, the self-styled Democratic party thas acts ed, they belied the name which they argo- gated,.and struck a blow at our repeblican: policy, of which the consequences may yet. be fatal to public liberty, unless prevented by the stern exercise of the public willie Those whoinflicted that blow are aow repeating it. Through the instrumentali-’ 1844 threw aside the “pre eminent men” of their party, and nominated a minor poli- tician to the Chief Magistracy of a great nation, they have again played the same of one who has never accomplished any hope to be entertained is, that. when he | shall set about any of those ill-omened | plans which Senator Douglas and Young | America have prescribed to him, be must | fall through with them, and fail in those | pernicious designs, from a lucky want of ability to carry them out. As of political and physical benefits. so of that less sabstantial, but not unprized one party bas ever been to add to our public renown; and, Gen. Scott having done far more for that than any other man alive, the Whigs will add to the country’s praise and the Government's dignity by placing at its head a man honored the ci vilized world over. Our adversaries, on the contrary, can have no bope nor aim of this sort. They must mean to give Gen. Pierce reputation only, not to add to that of the country. We might here close our review. bat the subject opens other considerations of high political consequence. one of which we commend to the reflection of our rea- ders. When Alexander the Great was asked on his death-bed whom he wisbed to suc- ceed him in his empire. be answered, ~ THe Most wortuy.” When the fathers of the American Republic were framing a Constitution for the preservation of its liberties, they cherished the hope that the would confide the administration of the new Government to “ Tue MOsT WoR- Tuy.” In the opinion of the aatbors of the Federalist, the great contemporary expoanders of the Constitution. there was said they) “a moral certainty that the office of President will seldom fall tothe lot of any man who is not in an eminent game. Again are they seeking to con- sign that awful trust to a man wbom scarcely a fragment of the people ever thought of in connexion with the office, and whose election, were such aa event: | possible, would serve to show that, how- ever free may be the institutions of a country, the public will may be not only controlled but created by political machi- nations. The Whigs bave had their Conventions. But these Cenventions have nevet degra- ded the standard of the Presidency. They have never ventured to do more than anite on some man whom considerable portions of the People had recognised as being “preeminent for ability and virtoe,”— They never created a candidate by. the stress of party tactics, and relied on big obscurity instead of his pre eminence for palming him off on the People. gel In the pending canvass, the Whig Con- vention did not hunt in dark corners for ® nominee. i chose, from the illastrioas names before it, that of a man whom thé public mind had habitually regarded for forty years as being “ pre eminent for abil- ity and virtue; a man whose bined had- been shed and whose life had bees risked in delence of his country ; a man name is inseparable from that of hems wars which she has waged since his, who redeemed the honor of : one, and crowned her glory in,the a man whose civic abilities had spicuous in carrying ber safely through two awful janctores of her affairs ; A. whose military successes in he exit war have been the marvel of the. and elicited warm praise from the ipsef the victor of _Napoleen; a man..whgse martial and.civic fame is graced by.mag nanimity, modesty, generosity, degree endowed with the requisite qual- and self-possession in danger, and. 1 ore 4 A ABRAA ‘bas. been a “bigh ities, and who has pro wa- alto themvall.,.

W. WOODFIN, V. Pres’t. J. F. Taytor, Rec. Sec’y. Avappin’s Lame.—At the opening of the Manchester Free Library, speeches were made by Dickens, Thackery, Bulwer, and others. Among the good things said by Sir Edward, in his characteristic figurative way, was the following : “ GentLemen: You will remember that story of Aladdin, which we have read in our childhood—how a poor youth descen- ded into a cavern, and brought back from its recesses an old lamp. Accidentally he discovered that at the mere [riction of the lamp a mighty genias appeared at his command. Awed by the terrors of the spirit that he had summoned, he at first only ventured to employ its powers to satisly biscommon and his humblest wants | —to satisfy mere hunger and thirst—but this gigantic agent, he employed it te con- | Struct palaces, to amass treasures, to baffle armies, and to triumph over foes, until, at the close of the story, the owner of the wonderful lamp is the sovereign of a peaceful empire, assured to his remote posterity. Gentlemen, that story isa type of labor at the command of knowledge. When we first find the lamp we are con- tented to apply its genius solely to our common and physical wants; but as we are accustomed to the presence of that spirit which we have summoned, we find that we have obtained a secret which pla- ces the powers of earth, air, and ocean /at our command. That genius, left to | itself, would be a terrible and threatening ministrant, because it is only rude physi- cal force; but to him who possesses the lamp, that genius is a docile and benig- _dant ministrant, because here physical force is the slave of intellectual will.—- | Now, gentlemen, in that same physical force, which, in the phrase of the day, is sometimes called the “power of the mass- es,” lies a great problem for all thoughfut /men to resolve. Knowledge has brought us face to face with it, and knowledge | must either instruct that force or it will destroy the invoker. May, then, all those | who possess the knowledge, who are gift- ed with the lamp, use it only for benefi- cent and useful purposes, so that the gen- _ius whose tread could arouse the earth- -quake, and whose breath could bring _down the storm, may come to enrich _the treasury and ¢ ithe empire.” ) | | Through a tite | ductors of this jo | have never seen, e*®perience as con- ,.we must say we blic press so de- graded as it has betn within the last thir- ty or forty days, by the propagation of _ the most shameless falsehoods, in regard | not only to the Whig candidate for the Presidency but to the existing Adminis. | tration of the Government, which, instead of being subjected to the. villanous.asper- sions cast upon it, deserves from evi | good citizen:the most hearty thanks and | commendation for its loyality to the Con- stitution, the Laws and the faith of Trea- | ties, and the exertions which it hag made and is making to sustain them all in full vigor. As tor the Telegraphic ye prs which are “Vie fos one end of the country to the other, concerning the pen, ding party contest, the safest. plan is to distrast almost ‘everything intended to affect the election, as in ni e times obt of ten they are not-worthy of confidence, — “SS Nat.Int: e -sident-for-four-years-after the” 4th March next. es This.result will strike many-of our rea- ders’ With’ ‘astonishment ;—an dstonish- ment:that. will loose. nothing by reflection. How’ is it, we imagine they will'say, the Republic of the U. States should prefer a man.comparatively anproved, over one who ‘has’ been ‘subjected to the severest tests, and in them all found to be true to his Country, and as capable and. honest as he is true? We feel no inclination at present, to en- ter upon speculations for the solution of this problem. One thing is quite certain, the election of Prerce ahd Kine is no evi- dence’ to our mind that the principles and policy of the Whig Party are unsound and unsuited to the genius of our Institutions ; or that those of the’ victorious party are righteous,. and their full consummation will ensure the best interest and glory of the Country. We have already observed one thing among the democrats since the election, which was not beforeso prominent, though previously charged upon them: They are now openly in favor of seizing Cuba. In- tervention will also receive a fresh im- pulse by this triumph, especially in the North, and we shall not be surprised if this doctrine should be put into practice not many years hence. We have telegraphic accounts of the election, collected from our exchanges, which show that Pierce and King have probably carried the following States : The figures on the right, show the num- ber of electoral votes each State is enti- gradually accustomed to the presence of | / 25 counties to be heard from. tled to.

There are a number of other States to hear from, but however they may have voted, it will not change the result. 4 s a As to North Carolina, we have some hopes she has cast her vote for Scott and | Graham. The returns as exhibited in our | table, show a clear Whig gain of 3,391 on the August election, leaving us 1,600. of Reid’s majority yet to overcome in the > The editor of the “ Jubilee” is de- cidedly a funny man. Since he com- menced his career in Salisbury, our citi- zens—male and female—have been, from time to time, convulsed with laughter. We have no taste for reciting the method of his success in causing such merriment —they aresopeculiar. His notice of our- self in his Jast, was very gracious, inas- much as it was only intended to save us from a sad catastrophe. It was, howev- er, a very lame effort to relieve himself | from an unenviable position before the public. In conclusion we have to say to, the editor that our “ fancy” did not mis- lead us, nor, in our last, did we publish | any thing which facts will not sustain. | Temperance Lecture.—Mr. Hewxetr, the Temper- | ance Orator, addressed a considerable number of our | citizens in the Methodist Church, last evening.

It gives us great pleasure to understand that the President has offered to the Hon. Edward Everett, and that the latter has accepted, the vacant post of Secfetary of State. a There is a peculiar fitness, we think, in this appointment. Mr, Everett was the altached personal friend of the Statesman whose lamen- ted death caused the vacancy in the Depart. ment, as well as an irreparable void amongst the great men of the world. To this recom. mendation, however, may be added the higher consideration of the eminent qualifications of of Mr. Bverett for the office. His public ser- vices, at home and abroad, uniting experience and a thorough acquaidtance with our foreign affairs to his fine abilities and regulated tem- per, render him a worthy successor to the hon- ors and duties of the post.—Nat.

HAVE several small but valeable plantations on the waters of Hanting Creek,in Iredell’ county, which I will sell om good terms. . There is water pow- er on one of these tractssufficient for any purpose.— Any one wishing either to purchase it or to invest cap- ital as a partner in the erection of a Factory, or machi- nery of any description upon it, will give me a call soon. These lands are all within one day's travel of the Great Central Reil Road, in a healthy section of country. The above named water location is joining the Ea- gie Mills Manufacturing Company, and this place is now called South Troy ; and there is a fair prospect for a Rail Road or @ Plank Road, to run via Eagle Mills and South Troy, or near there, leading via Mocksville, Hamptonville and Wilkesborough, on to- wards Virginia and the mountains; when done, the rich provisions of those rich valleys will flow to Salis- bury, end thus enrich the Great Central Rail Road.— Then there will be a chance to speed all kinds of man- ufactured goods to a ready Market. Come and help me build Paper Mills, Brass and Iron Foundries, Wool Mills, or any thing else you please. We can com- mence and build a Rai] Road to Salisbury and then to the mountains, we can make the Iron here, either the T or U, Iron, and we can algo build the Cars and Lo comotives at Eagle Mills or South Troy.

Mr. Bruner of the Salisbury Wathman, | two days after the election modesty asks Holden of the Standard for the use of his “ big gun” to assists in jubilating the elec. tion of Scott andGrabam! He says they never “let down,” so, if the Watchman should imitate them in this respect, he will be uneasily held up for some time to come. To accomodate matters all round, we propose that Holder retain the use of his “big gun” and that Bruner get an el- der stalk and make a pop-gun, which will answer his purpose very well this time, if be will load it with plugs of Irish pota- toes. Oiherwise two and a half cents’ worth of crackers would be quite suffi cient to celebrate the small amount of victory which will fall to his lot, and would be, perhaps more easily obtained. But as the Watchman’s eagle bas be- come enervated on account of the difficult flights he has been forced to take for the last few weeks, we respectfully urge Holden to lend Bruner bis big gan, as soon as all the reports are in, and Pierce’s actual majority is ascertained.

E erned by at least two very proper consid- }.48 tempted to quote the definition beg erations: First, we are not advised wheth- er Holden's gun is a sound and reliable piece ; or whether it could stand pure gan- powder. It might melt down; full off its carriage ; or faint, or do something else of the kind, just at the moment we would present to its eye, the fire end or the rod ; and that would be a fix for a man, him- self almost fit to burst for something to shoot. We think it advisable therefore, to let Holden keep his gun. We won’t have any thing to do with it. Secondly, af- ter soberly considering—looking at the whole subject on this side and that side, bottom and top, inside and outside, and eve- ry other way, in order, if possible, to find some good and substantial reasons in sup- port of using powder and time on such occasions as that for which we first pro- posed to use Holden’s gun, we are con- strained to admit that we have utterly failed inthe search. There is nothing but usuage to sustain the practice, and that even is dependant on circumstances, which, it is known, often alter cases. So, on the grounds that the practice is a heuthenish one, (especially after an election,) and that it is wasteful and often attended with loss of life, together with the reason first given, we haveconcluded not to shoot—Holden’s gun at at least. As to our journey to, and residence at the head of Salt Rive, why !—there’s a nation of clever fellows going along.— Some considerate frend at Philadelphia has kindly furnished us a free ticket on the of the physical differences between (wo races: .“ The Celt,” says Mr. McElherran, a long cranium, high and expressité ‘tures, dark or warin complexion, § and muscular frame,” such as wef Shakspeares, Newtons, Nelsons, and lingtons; in the Stephensons and mel enterprise; in great statesmen, aul artist, &c. “Go into any learned of lustrious assembly in the kingdom, Mr. McElhberran, “and you will find tenths of them having the Celtric que.” Now for the Saxon: “From a long and careful ex tion,” he is ascertained to be a ii haired, bullet-headed, pigeyed, bug ed, long-backed, pot-bellied, bad-le stupid, slavish, lumbering, sulky whose moral state is a disgrace 4 gret to England.” Their uniforall complexion and figure ; their obesilf weak legs and scanty figure, theif brain in proportion to the long spite large flat face, are marks of inferiom™ From the Augusta (Ga.)

N ay, many of our cattle, those useful animals, those valuable machines | fur converting grass, hay, straw, fodder, grain, &e. milk,butter, cheese, beef, tallow, hides, manure, &e., are doomed to brave the peltings of our inclement winters without a shelter to ward off the cold rain, and without a dry spot in which to lie down and rest, while the litter that collects aroand their tramping place is drenched with water and dried by the winds until all of the soluble rtion is lost.

But we aro not confined to our farm yards for our Many of us have low-lands, ponds, marshes, &c., where we might gather large quantities | of mud, drift and other kinds of fertilizing matter and add it to our compost heaps. But then another impor- | tant question is, who has any compost heaps) Wha: have become of all the horses and cattle that have died on our farms? They are wasted and yet would have | been valuable for manure and it has been quaintly re- | marked, “that a dead horse or cow would make twenty loads of compost as rich as a Goshen Cheese.” The blood and other offal of our slaughtering pens and all our spent | suds should be preserved and added to our compost heaps. _ Bat there is another system of improving lands which is practiced with great success. That is the system of laying down lands to grass and turning in green crops | __ | with lime and plaster. The laying down lands in grass | we think, is better suited for keeping up an already im- proved field. But there are broad leafed plants such as | the pea, clover, &c., which are profitably cultivated for turn’ng under, and thus improving the land. Theee plants having a luxuriance of leaf and vine draw largely upen the atmosphere for their sustenance and growth. These plants having drawn this nutritive matter from the at- mosphere and given it a more solid form you may take your plough and turn under the vegetable matter, thus returning to the soil not only what has been extracted from it bat also an additional amount drawn from the atmosphere at the same time adding a due portion of Plaster sown upon | these green crops wonderfully advances their growth. Lime is one of our most valuable manures, and practical men advise the use of it when it can be had at twenty cents per bushel, at the rate of fifteen to two hundred | bushels per acre according to circumstances. Wood ash- es is also a most excellent and lasting manure and eve- | ry farmer should carefully preserve and apply every bush- el he can command. Some farmers take the trouble to for the ashes ; and if they can collect them fast, their time is certainly profitably ernployed. Hence may be seen the folly of our farmers throwing briars, pieces of rails, brush, &c., out of their fields. It is not unfrequently the case that we see all these things which might be con- verted into excellent manure, thrown out of the field in- | tween ‘this place with good ~ Springs proprietor, and as ever lived.— an tary of State, has arrived in Washington, | } | afford a pleasant bed for | all the moisture that eol- | _and entered upon the discharge of the da- ties of his office.

I have regretted the meagerness of my own experience, and yet I once had a pretty incident of an unusual kind throagh a child. He was a bealthful, lively and intelligent boy of three years old. One bright Sabbath evening twilight he had been singing in my arms, and then sat awhile perfectly quiet ; suddenly he turn- ed round and whispered in my ear: “ Who is that leaning over the rocking- chair?” “Who does it look like?” I replied, without the least appearance of surprise | —for the chair was empty, and stood quite near us. ‘He looks so pleasant,” was the reply, in his imperfect utterance. “Will you go and shake hands with him?” I asked. He disengaged himself from my arms, | crossed over the chair, and looking confi- | dently upwards, grasped the air; and n till he had done so two or three times did | his countenance change, and then whis- | pered “I tant feel him!” He sighed hea- vily, and then returned to my arms. The child more than once spoke of see- | ing objects in this way—was perfectly healthful, playful and noisy as other chil- dren. I never showed surprise or curiosi- ty in the matter, never repeated the story in bis presence, scarcely ever have talked | about it in any way, so there was noth. ing to pique the marvellous in the child, | and nothing to tempt to falsehood, by mak- ing him the hero of a story. The pre- sence must have been real to him, not. caused by disease or excitement. I turn. | ed his attention at once to other subjects, | without making any comment. At anotber time he crawled from his little crib, and waked me saying: “ The peasant (pleasant) man has tome | adain,” pointing to the back of his cradle. | There was no object that could possibly deceive the fancy of the child. “ Well, go to sleep, my dear,” I said.— | He laid down tranquilly, and presently called out: “He is done, dear and soon was fast asleep again. There was nothing extraordinary in the habits of the child—he was affectionate, exceedingly truthful, and knew nothing of fear, never had known, and was of that joyous. hap- py temperament which many would sup- pose unallied to anything of the kind.

There is water pow- er on one of these tracts sufficient for any purpose.

These lands are all within one day’s travel of the Great Central Rail Road, ina healthy section of country. The above named water location is joining the Ea- gle Mills Manufacturing Company, and this place is now called South Troy ; and there is a fair prospect for a Rail Road or a Plank Road, to run via Eagle Mills and South Troy, or near there, leading via Mocksville, Hamptonville and Wilkesborough, on to- wards Virginia and the mountains ; when done, the rich provisions of those rich valleys will flow to Salis- bury, and thus enrich the Great Central Rail Road.— Then there will be a chance to speed all kinds of man- ufactured goods to a ready Market. Come and help me build Paper Mills, Brass and Iron Foundries, Wool Mills, or any thing else you please. We can com- mence and build a Rail Road to Salisbury and thento the mountains, we can make the Iron here, either the T or U, Iron, and we can also build the Cars and Lo comotives at Eagle Mills or South Troy.

We think of those ‘whom we lute. They are much in our mind: te cannot keep them out of four ,ihoughte.— . Whereas, in regard to those whom we dv not @are fiuch for, the proverb is true,“ Out of sight, out of mind.” ‘Tell me what a man thinks about, acd I will tell you what he loves. Ha maa loves his fellow Christians, they will often rise Defore bis meital eye; if he loves his chorch, he will muse on it; if be loves the poor be will frequently be meditating on their wants. How ofien does the doting mother whose vnly sob is at the sea, imagine him tossed by the lempest. 2. To pray forthem. This is a higher de- gree. tis agreat thing to bave an interest in the prayer@of a guod man, and to be on the list of those fu whom he intereedes. Good Mr, Romaine vf London used to employ two after naons of the week praying for bis friends.— Perbapstthere are some for whom this is all that we can do, Lut it is not a jittle, if bestowed ia faith. ‘The prayers of God’s poor are agreat treasury fur the beneficent. The Lord Jesus Christ shows bis love to men by continually making intercession for them. 3. To speak to them. Surely we do not luve the roan to whom we will not speak. The favor is sinall, yet it is worth something. Es- pecially if we speak a word of caulivn, coun- ‘sel, or consolation. 4. ‘To speak or them. Beloved names will be on our lips. Out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaketh. By frequently nam ing those whom we love, we indicate our re- spect and affection: hence believers love to “ speak good of the Lord.” 5. To speak ror them. To defend those whom we love is an instinet of true friendship. Tuis we may olien have occasion to do, when their character is assailed. Slander requires an ear as well as a tongue; it dies before a north wind countenance. Prov. 25: 23. Love will disregard haman distinctions, and plead for bumble persons. “Open thy mouth, judge righteously, agd plead the cause of the poor and needy.” Prov. 31: 9. 6. ‘Vu lubor tur them. How pleasant it is to work fur those who are dear to us. This the datighter knows while her Wusy fingers are embroidering some gilt of affection for an ab. sent*parent. This the mother knows when day and night she is toiling for the speechless litle creature in the cradle. Philanthrophy will Alfa man’s hands with labors. Judge of your proficiency by this: ‘ My Tittle children, letus not love in word, neither in tongue, bud in deed and in truth.” | John, 3: 18. 7. ‘To suffer for them. This is evidence of still higher jove. Many can labor who could not suffer, Yet even in worldly things we find p'easing daily instances of parents suff-ring privation and pain for their offspring : itis less common for children to endure much for their parents, Suileriog is much sweetened when we cun fee! that any fellow ereature is to be benefited by it. Let us not shrink from weari ness, wanl, weakness, and care, aud reproach, if thereby we can promote the cause of Christ, 8. To viz forthem. ‘Ibis may be startling to some, yet true Love has willingly died for | its object ; and the Scriptures lay this down as a certain test. Our blessed Lord, who wasin. carnate love, thus speaks: * Greater love hath no man than this, thata mao lay down his lite for bis friends.” John 15; 13. % God com. ineuded bis love towards os, in that while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.” Rom. 5: 8. le was a matchlesss token of love, yet left tous for an example.

Those wishing to buy will please to call on the subscriber at his residence four miles from Salisbary, on the road leading to Hix’s Ferry.— Persons wishing to buy would do well to call soon, as the only object he has in offering his property for sale is to go to the South on aceount cf his health. Both of these places are in one mile of each other, and the Central Rail Road runs near midway between them. Good Millss and Market for timber handy. P. S.

She seemed in deep thought, though a ce, tain tremulousness of manner, and the bright spot that burned on either cheek, be- tokened that all was not peace witbin her bo- Her soft eyes were cast down and shad ed by their long lashes ; her slight and girlish figure, and the extreme delicacy of ber features might have made the observer fancy her all sofiness, but fur the firmly compressed lips of her beautitul mouth, that feature which more than any other betokens decision of character.

Could it be,” she asked herself agaia and &- gain, “could it be that he would so degrade himself; that last evening, above all others, he should have taken part in a midnight brawl ; that he should be so intosirated as to be led home by those whose intimate companionship he would have shunned the day before 7 —aud she wrung her hands in bitterness of heart. Presently a rapid step was heard along the ravel walk and upon the steps of the piazza. She started up, clasped ber hands together, nerved herself for a moment, and thea sunk again into her seat.

Since our last publication, several in- teresting subjects have ocupied the atten- tion of the Legislature, upon some of which action has been taken. The de- | bate in the House, on the bill in relation to the Superior and County Courts—pro- | posing to make nine judicial circuits, to | be arranged into three judicial districts, and to abolish jury trials in the County taken by which the strength of any of its provisions could be tested. So far as we subject, the most that will be done at the present session, will be to make one or two additional circuits. The speech of Mr. Baxter, Speaker of the House, on this bill, on Monday, is spoken of as one of very great ability and of the deepest in- terest, on account of the important reforms which he suggested as proper to be made in the trial of causes—such as commen- cing by petition instead of a writ ; abolish- ing many of the legal fictions, such as that in ejectment; and requiring a disclosure to be made in a Court of Law, without having to go into Equity. On Wednesday, in the House, the bill to appoint a General Superintendent of Common Schools, and for other purposes, we are gratified to say, passed its second and third readings, under a suspension of the rules, by a very decided majority.— Tie debate was able and interesting.— The bill was advocated by Messrs. Cher- ry, Wiley, Spruill, Avery, McNeill, Phil- lips, and Long, of Randolph ; and opposed by Messrs. Martin, Webb, and Scales.— ers to say, that the remarks of Messrs. Cherry and Wiley indicated thorough in- vestigation of the subject, and embraced a great amount of interesting and impor- tant facts. Their speeches manifested that their hearts, as well as their minds, have been deeply engaged in the effort to improve the Common School system of this State. We should be gratified to have their speeches written out for publi- cation, as a means of informing the .peo- ple on this important, subject. We were particularly p ith the course pur- eased w se sued by Messrs. Avery and MeNeill, in re- ference to this bill. At the last session, they voted against & similar one, but in the debate on Wednesday, they stated that an investigatio n of the subject had iafied them that the bill ought to pass, ey therefore advocated its passage. nd be edn sche we have no doubt eet trial of two years will prove its beneficia all peradventure. “irothe Bebe le, f-< Wednesday, & bill, to give the election of Clerks and Masters a my place, I hope I have in Equity to the People, wes rejecte n the bless. rpetua- Sart River.—The Editors of the Greens. boro’ Patriot, have made the following saline ble as could be ex ted.

DEATH OF “ICHABOD CRANE.” Jesse Merwin died in Kinderhook on the 8th instant, at the age of seventy years. The Kinderhook Sentinel con- tains the following obituary notice of the deceased : “Mr Merwin was well known in this community as an upright, honorable man, | in whom there was no guile. He was for many years a justice of the peace, the duties of which he discharged with scro- pulous fidelity and conscientious regard to the just claims of suitors, ever frown- ing upon those whose vocation it is to ‘foment discord and perplex right.’ Atan early period of his life, and while engag- ed in school teaching, he passed much of his time in the society of Washington Irv. ing, then a preceptor in the family of the late Judge Van Ness, of this town. “ Both were engaged in congenial pur- suits, and, their residences being only a sbort distance apart, the author of the ‘Sketch Book’ frequently visited the ‘Old School House’ in which “Squire Merwin’ was employed in teaching the young idea | how to shoot, and subsequently immortal- | ized his name by making him the bero of one of his inimitable tales, ‘The Legend of the Sleepy Hollow.’” | THE TELEGRAPH. An effort is certainly to be made to es- tablish, as soon as,practicable,a telegraph- ic communication between this coun- try and Europe, by means of wires laid across the Atlantic. We are now too well accustomed to the marvelous to doubt the reality or the success of such an underta- | king. It can be, and will be,soon accom- | plished, and the day is not distant, per- | haps, when the circuit will be completed around the globe. When these expecta- | tions are realized, our world will be found _in a condition so strange that it will hard- | ly be known by its older inhabitants. | When it is recollected that the earth’s surface at the equator revolves east ward A Gentieman.—The man who “turns out” When you meet him upon the ro highway—no matter how rough ap- pearance, or uncouth in matters of ac- t or fashion—is a gentle: man.

HE subseriver has put ep machinery for stretch ing, cementing and riveting bands with copper rivets. The bands are stretched with powerful ma- chines, made expressly for that purpose, and the difii- culty of banas streiching and ripping under the com- mon way of making them, is entirely removed by this process. Bands made in this way will hold their width evenly, run true, and have a uniform bearing on the drum or pulley, and will give from 15 to 20 per cent. more power than those made in the ordinary way.— They are made ont of the best selected oak tanned Spanished Leather, and no pains will be spared to make them equal to the best Northern bands, and will be sold as low as they can be brouveht in New York. Bands will be kept for sale by J. G. Cairns, at the Salisbury Factory. CHAS. M. LINES, Hant’s Store P. O., Guilford co , N. C. July 8, 1852. pdly10 T. C.

It appears, that the prac. tice among our ladies arose from their using souff asa footh powder—yes, most courteous reader, a tooth powder! jf this is any thing more, thao a mere pretext for the filthy and dis- gusting practice, which taints the breath with a fetor worse than assafelida: deranges all the physical sensatious, and the whole nervous system ; imparts to the rosy cheek of youthful beauty, the delightsome complexion of a cake of beeswax: subverts, ruins and finally destroys the digestive powers uf the stomach; and, ren- ders that stomach a filthy reservoir of dregs and crudities which taints and corrupis the whole sysiem. In speaking of the evil which arises from the use of snuff or tobacco in any way, we have not enumerated the balf of them; the fact is, tbat language itself would fail in describing them.

Tbe Commercial, whilst it re- greis the whole occurrence, and blames the man for carrying his negroes to New York, urges (bat the decision 1s universally admivied to be the law, and therefore shuuld be acquiesced in, until reversed by a higher tribunal, as the fugi- live law has been acquiesced in, because it is the law, by those who disliked it as much as the Southern people dislike this decision. The “Day Book” violeoily assails tbe de- cision and the Judge who made it. It speaks of it as “ the first instance of the complete tri- umph of the higher law,” the subordination of the Constitution of the United Siates to so called Siate police regulations. and the legal saaction- ing of highway robbery.” licharges the Judge with being tbe willing ins'rumeat of tbe abo- linionists, determined from the first to set aside justice and the Constitutioa of ibe U. Siates. The Courier and Enquirer says, “ We must admit that at tbe first blush this decision appeared to be more than plausible. Just it is not ; thoogh it is possible sbat the let. tec of law admiis no other. ‘it is certainly di. ametrically opposed 'o the spirit of the Consti- tution of the recent law passed by Congress up- on the subject of slavery. —_‘It_ will do more to SS 852.

Tendencies of the Times. Under this title, the October number of the Theologicul and Lilerary Review, edit- ed by David N. Lord of New York. who bas devoted much time to the study of the prophecies. contains an article on the pre- sent posilion and prospects of the Charch, which deserves consideration. The re- viewer does not agree tbat there are indi- calions of the speedy overthrow of Satan's kingdom, and of a millennial reign of the gospel on earth. He regards the signs of the times as decidedly the reverse; that there is a prospect of a relalive decline of trae religion. acd a rapid growih of the parties aod influences tbat are in antago- nism to it. Taking our own country asa basis of his argument, he adduces, in sup- port of his views, the predominance of an avaricious worldly spirit; the prevalence of debasing and enormous crimes; the powerlal agencies emploved by aiheisis and infidels of various shades, Universal- ists. Socinians, Romanists. Mormons, Swe.- denborgians, Puseyiles, and others; the enormous circulation of licetious and scep- tical publications from the press; the suc- cess of numerous and preposterous dela- sions, finding every where so many disci- ples and advocates; and finally, the pre- valence of alatming errors in nominally evangelical churches. Jn regard to none of these, the reviewer coniends, can it be shown that there is reason to believe that the.e are symptoms of decay, or that their power is nea'ralized by the insirumental- ities put forth by the Church.

Vice, irreligion, and error’in various shapes, unquestionably abound. The freedom of opinion, the lib- erty of the press, and the general rest- lessness and activity of the people, render this land a fine field for the operations of whatever is antagonistic to truth and righteouesness. As population increases, and new and dangerous elemenis are con- stantly added to it, the powers of evil a— mongst us will inevitably gain strength, unless counteracted by the energetic and persevering efforts, on a larger scale than has heretofore obtained of the people of God. Such considerations call loudly up- on the Charch to cast off her worldliness, to cullivate more of a scriptural self—de- nying piety, to give far more liberally of her abounding substance, to pray the Lord of the harvest to raise up and send forth more labourers into his vineyard, and es- pecially to seek, in larger measure, the outpourings of the Holy Spirit in genuine revivals of religion. No matter how for- midable and successful may seem to be (he powers of darkness, there is an arm to which God's people have access, that can easily dash to pieces all their devices. Greater is he that is for us, than are those that are against us. Anecdote of a Landlord, who was compell- ed to pay his own Tenant's Rent out of his own Pocket. A short pei iod previous to the enaci ment of \he present Jaw ia favor of the tenant, a landlord owning some nineteen or twen- ty boases ia the lower part of the city, al- wavs bringing bim in remunerative rents, and often times exborbilant, particularly in fashionable business locations, was ia the habit uf giving one whole day’s grace to bis tenanis; bat never failed on the second morning, \o take bis rent roll, and in his light barouche wagon, to drive round to all bis tenants, and as he rigidly requir- ed payment on that day, every one expect- ed to be prepared to meet him. A poor widow oocupied one of bis stores, some 10 by 18 feei, for which sbe paid four handred dollais perannum. On the first day of February. she called on this excellent but inexorable landlord, and told him ihat in consequence of ibe death of her moiher, whose faneral expenses sbe bad wiih great difficuliy borne, she could not pay her rent on the second of Febru- ary, as she expecied. He argued the matter, and assured her it would be just as easy lo pay it then as to wait. Sbe remonstrated, and besought bim with tears to allow her to give him some part of it, and wait on her a few days for the balance, To this earnest and pa. thetic appeal, he morosely replied : ‘I don’t want any blubbering, or any scenes enacted here ; if you can’t pay the rent, tben I mast send a landlord's war- rant, and make you.” Saying this. he arose and opened the door, not wishing to give ber a chance to reply, and left the loom. His wife, who had hitherto remained silent, now came forward, and addressing herself to the widow, whose name was Mrs. Clark. kiodly asked : ‘What is the amount of rent that is due, madam 7?” ‘One bandred dollars.!na’am; and weep- ing, she added. ‘1 cannot possibly pay it, I] know I cannot.’ The landlord’s wife was a young crea- ture. that had lived but a short time in the cily—had been born and lived all her days in the same house, and to her the idea of a family being sold out was awlul. And, although she had been but a short time married, sbe koew that her husband was inexorable. She had witnessed the interview, heard the reasons. and was de- | termined notonly toobey the dictates of hu- manity, bat play a practical joke on her husband. Assisting the widow to put on her cloak, aod accompanying her to the door, she said to ber in an under tone— ‘How long, madam, before you will find it convenient to pay your rent?” — ‘Really, madam, there is nothing doing in millinery. you know, until after the middle of March. I ree bY, the 20th I CAG SA jiively that 1 can do it.’ Anse eceuats reflection she said to her: . ‘Call upon me, privately to morrow morning at eight o'clock.’ As the landlord was accustomed to al- low his wife several hundred dollars a year, to appropriate as she pleased, she did not find it difficult to propose to him to lend her, for a couple of menths, a hun- dred dollars. ‘I hope, my dear,’ added she, ‘that my credit is good, for six weeks or two months, for that amount! | ; ; He complied. but not without casting astical discipline.

'GOOD NEWS FOR THE FARMERS | OF AMERICA. | Now and then a man appears, who ichanges human affairs. and affects the fortunes of his fellow men all over the ‘earth. Only a few such men bave lived : nor has it been the Caesars, the Hanibals, |or the Alexanders who have most deeply affected human fortunes. Arkwright’s spinning jenny, Robert Fulton’s steam. boat, Franklin's lightning rod, McCor- mick’s reaper, and Steers’ yacht—and we might adduce many other illustrations— have put forth more influence apon man- kind, than all the victoriesof all the great chieftains of the carth, Upwards of five hundred different im- | portant inventions and discoveries, have | been made in this country in agricultural tools and implements. The old system of agriculture is utterly abandoned: with a modern plow more furrows can be turned over in a few hours, and far better done at that, with a small horse, that could be thirty years ago with four yoke of cattle in awhole day. Inthe place of forty able bodied men, now felling the grain with | their cradles, McCormick’s reaper goes in- to the field, and the whole crop falls be- fore it. So vast has our progress been in | every department of life; we have ban- ished the hand loom from our houses, and | set twelve thousand shuttles to playing | with a waterfall or steam engine. The vreat English McCullock, says that there is nore work done in England every day, by the power of machinery, than all the men and women on the face of the earth —reckoning them at eight hundred mil- lions—could do without it. We have watched the progress of the age in these respects, in our own country and in many foreign countries; and when. ever we hear of a great invention that saves human labor and human life it comes to us like glad news from a far country. There issomething glorious and beautiful in the thought, that the mind of man can trample down even the curses of Heaven ; for it is the light God has giv- en to the human intellect, that enables it to triumph over what seem to be impossi- bilities. It was God himself who first said, Let there be light, and from that mo- ment, his creatures have been emu!ous of eating the fruit of the tree of eternal knowledge. It grows in Paradise, bat its fruit falls upon the earth. Atthe great World’s Fair in London, McCormick's reaper made the world ring with the inventor’s fame, and we were all proud of it ; but another agricultural in- vention is now being brought before the public, which as far surpasses that in another department of labor, as ¢¢ surpass A man from North Carolina, bas invented a Threshing Machine which accomplishes the following objects. We speak with some degree of confidence about what this machine does, because we have seen it operate repeatedly, and several hun- dred of the most distinguished planters of the South, and farmers of the North, with | American Institute, at its last annual Fair in New York, concur in substance with the following facts. Let us add here, too, try, or on the face of the earth, that is not | - . . . | | directly concerned in this great invention. It was thought to be an important matter when a New Yorker discovered a ma- chine which took polished wire by the mile, and lett it, neatly headed, sharply pointed pins, well stuck in’ papers, and putupatthat. But men can live with- out pins, while they will starve without bread. This invention we speak of, con- cerns the fortunes of one thousand million human beings now living, and a great ma. ny thousand million that will live when we are dead. Man cannot Jive without bread—bread is made from grain, that grows out of the earth—this grain has to vention bas ever yet been known that could do this work so thoroughly, so quick- mer’s Tuarsninc MaAcuine. First. Iv ditfers from and is superior to all others in its capacity to thresh every kind of grain or ‘seed grown, with the ex- ception of Indian corn: and the machines | for shelling corn are already perfect.— | This Thresber can be so adjusted in a | moment, as to come together close enough to thresh out Timothy seed, while it can be gradually opened to admit other coar- ser grains and seeds, until it will thresh the large field pea. No other machine has attempted to this. Consequently, the | Tice planter, spends a vast sum of money | on machines, and gets nothing at last that | threshes his rice, except the human hand —that growers of grass seed and fine grains, have had the same trouble, and they have got nothing for their searches or their money, while all the machines that pretend to thresh wheat, oats, barley, rye, &e.. are dangerous in “their opeta- tions, easy to get out of repair, and limi- ted in their powers of execution. Palm- ers Thresber does all that the growers } } | | ! $e ae ee pi all | . nse : SSlecnedion deat \oveeglinclly Congress See or seed | es everything@hat had gone before it.— | a large and a distinguished delegation of | that there is no community in this coun- | be separated from the sheaf, and no in. | ly, so economically, or so well, as Pat. | of grain and seeds desire, for it th e rery ith equal rfection. = pou ota rate out feom t straw tly, so thatthere is not a ker: ft that is Worth saving. Da- ring the experiment at Flat fore the Delegation of the American ares twenty gentlemen worked among the straw for five or ten minutes, and not one of them found a head of grain that con- tained a kernel that was not. threshed out except a few shriveled, shrunken, worthless grains, that had no weight or substance, and that if ground up would only have made chaff. But no machine onthe earth, from the flail, to the best that is known, could have taken those kernels out. They had to be pulled out by the thumb and finger to be got out at all. Here Palmer's thresher secures an immense saving to the farmer. Several of the richest and most successful practi- cal farmers of North Carolina, say in 4 certificate we quote from, that they are warranted in stating that the saving effect- ed by this machine in the grain that 1s wast- ed by other machines, is it least twenty, per cent., or one fifth. There is over five hun- dred millions of dollars worth of grain and seeds raised every year in the United States, and not less than one hundred millions of dollars worth of this vast trea- sure, Which the hungry world wants, rots in the ground—because it is not threshed out of the sheaf. Therefore, the best judg- es have declared. that Palmer’s machine, by saving this vast amount of grain, will add no less than one hundred million dol- lars annually, to the wealth of the United States. Third. Another great saving ought to be looked at. This Thresher will clean | grain of every kind most perfectly from | smut; for all the smut which is not taken | off from the grain while it is going through ‘the air cells, is perfectly cleaned by pass- | ing through the air. Every farmer knows 'how many thousands of barrels of flour are corrupted by a few bushels of smatty wheat. With this machine smut cannot stay on the wheat—it must come off. Fourth. A serious objection against ev- ery thresher hitherto invented, has been the danger to life and limb in working them. The most approved threshers, and those generally in use, thresh out the grain by means of rotating spikes, which are very numerous, and which very: fre- | quently fly off, piercing the bodies of the | men who work them, and often drawing 'the hands, the arms, and sometimes the whole head and body in—maiming thoa- sands, and killing hundreds outrigbt.— This machine has no such danger. It is fed on the sides, and does not whirl to- wards the operator. Moreover, it has but a few flails, which revolve like the spokes of a whecl, and being of wrought iron strongly clenched on the axle, they can- not fly off. Fifth. Other threshers are liable to get out of repair, and are soon worn out; but “this thresher is so simple in its construc- tion,” says Judge Martense, of Long Is- land, “it does not seem possible for it by any ordinary usage, to get out of repair.” Sixth. Itis cheap—it does not cost much —it is not more extensive than many oth. er threshers, while it can perform a great deal more work, and do it better than any of them. It can moreover be transported without difficulty from place to place, be- cause it is so light. and can be so easily managed by the commonest laborer. Seventh. It can thresh much more grain of any kind in a day tban any other ma- chine ever invented. Mr. Charles Shep. herd, a good scientific farmer in North Carolina, says,—that although his wheat shipping merchant told bim it was in bet- ‘ter order than any wheat he got, and with /one of Palmer’s small machines he thresh. 'ed over six hundred bushels per day. Mr. Shepherd also says, after he bad tried | Palmer’s thresher with flax seed, that five | bands could with it beat out more flax seed in a day, than fifty without it, and so the certificates and the letters we have /seen from many parts of the country tes- | tify to all the various kinds of grain. | We might add a great deal more, but _We must stop. This thresher is the great- est agricultural invention the world has ever seen, and stands alone in the history of labor saving and life-saving machines. We have dwelt upon it at great length, but we are impressed with its vast im- portance to the human race. We rejoice | too that this invention comes from North Carolina, one of the truest and best sis- ters in the Federal Union ; and although till now, she had not contributed her full | share to the inventions of the country, she has atoned for it all by giving to the world William Russell Palmer's Threshing Ma- chine. We will cheerfully undertake to cominunicate to any person who desires it, information on this subject, whenever | they apply to us. LUTHERAN SYNOD. The Evangelical Lutheran Synod of South Carolina and Adjacent States closed its session | at St. Mark’s Church, Edgefield district, on | Wednesday evening last, the 17th inst,, to meet again at S'. Mathew’s Church, Orangeburg | district, on Friday before the second Sunda | Nov., 1853. The most important business transacted was the inauguration of Prof. L. Eichelberger, in the theological chair, in the seminary of Lex. ington, S. C., vacated by the resignation of Rev. Dr. E. L. Hazelius, on acevunt of his ad. vanced age ; also the adoption of three renew. ed constitutions, one for the government of Syn. od, another for their Seminary of Learning, and a third for their Widows’ Fund.

It will be seen that he has planted himself on one plank of the Whig Plat- form; and it would appear that our op ponents can’t get along ina concienscious discharge of their duty, without, at least, adopting a portion of the principles and measures of the Whig Party. This must be gratifying te you. whe have been bat- tling for Whig Principles ail your lives. Whenever there is an election pend- ing, the organs of the, party lift their hands and voices in holy horror at every thing advocated by Whigmén. Bat when the election is over, and their party are in power, they not unfrequently carry out Whig measures, simply because they can't do any better ! Now what effect ought this to have up- on the mind of every Whig? Confirm him in his politieal opinions! It proves that our doctrines are sound, and that even our enemies, when they are called upon to act, are compelled to admit it. Then, ihe very last thing you should permit to. enter into your heart, is the surrender of your political principles, if such a thought (sug- gested by defeat) ever crossed your mind. Do you believe you are right? None of you doubt it. Just hold on, then, like grim death; and the day is not very distant when, as a party, you will find we possess more strength than we do just at this time ; and when, as true citizens, we may rejoice at the triumph of truth, of just and righteous measures throughout the land, accomplished through your firmness and consistency. HOGS. The “ Anderson (S.C.) Gazette,” says, ‘‘ A fine drove of some three hundred and fifty Tennessee hogs arrived in our town on Sunday evening. We began to smack our lips and think of spare ribs, back-bone pies and sau- sages, but 6 cents a pound blunted our appetite very suddenly. Our citizens need have no fears as to a sup- ply, for doubtless pork will be abundant at from 4 to 54 cents.” Porx.—There has been several droves here this week —but the weather being unfavorable, but few were pur- chased. Fine Kentucky were offered at from 6 to 64 cts. gross— Yorkville (S.C.) Remedy, Nov. 27. There is one small drove now in this place, which are offered at 7 cents, neat. There is a great demand for Pork in this section, and it will require a large number of hogs to supply it; but buyers appear slow to take hold at present prices. We have heard of only two or three small sales, (country lots,) one at 64 and the other at 7 cents, neat. Country pork averaging 175 would fine ready sale at 6}, cash. Most persons, for family use, prefer country lots. But it is quite certain there will not be enough of it to supply the demand, and con- sequently our chief dependence is on droves. Hocs !—The Ashville Messenger of the 24th Nov. says—* Oar road is now lined with hogs ; price $5 50 and $6 per hundred.” Freshet.—There was a considerable freshet -in the Savannah River, on the 26th November.

The proceedings of our Legislature for the last week are more interesting than for any | lime since that body convened. Inthe Senate, Monday (the 22d) was consumed by a debate on a bill to incorporate a bank, to be called the “ Farmers’ Bank of Nofth Carolina,” and to be located in the county of Pasquotank. There appears to be a growing demand for Banking facilities, in this State; and from the number of bills to incorporate these institutions, a large amount of capital seeking that kind of invest. ment.

Wauereas, a General Convention of Peace, Amity, Commerce, and Navigation between the United States of America and the Republic of Guatemala, was con- cluded and signed in the City of Guatemala, by their respective Plenipotentiaries, on the third day of March in the year of our Lord one thousand eight hundred and forty-nine ; which Convention, being in the Eaglish and Spanish languages, is, word for word, as follows: General Convention of Peace, Amity, Commerce, and Navigation, between the United States of America and the Republic of Guatemala. The United States of America and the Republic of Guatemala, desiring to make firm and permanent the peace and friendship which happily prevails between both uations, have resolved to fix, in a manner clear, distinct, and positive, the rules which shall in future be religiously observed between the one and the other, by means of a treaty or general convention of peace, friend- ship, commerce, and navigation. For this most desirable object the President of the U. States of America has conferred full powers on Elijah Hise, charge d’affaires of the United States near this re- public, and the Executive Power of the Republic of Guatemala on the Sr. Ldo. D. Jose Mariano Rodriguez, Secretary of State and of the Department of Foreign Relations, who, after having exchanged their said full powers in due and proper form, have agreed to the fol- lowing articles: Articte I. There shall be a perfect, firm, and im- movable peace and sincere friendship between the Uni- ted States of America and the Republic of Guatemala, in all the extent of their possessions and territories, and between their people and citizens, respectively, without | distinction of persons or places. Articce II. The United States of America and the Republic of Guatemala, desiring to live in peace and harmony with all the other nations of the earth, by means of a policy frank and equally friendty with all, engage mutually not to grant any particular favor to other nations, respect of commerce and navigation, which shal] not immediately become common to the other par- ty, who shall enjoy the same freely, if the concession was freely made, or on allowing the same compensa- tion, if the concession was conditional. Articre III. The two high contracting parties, | being likewise desirous of placing the commerce and nav- igation of their respective countries on the liberal basis of peifect equality and reciprocity, mutually agree that the citizens of each may frequent all the coasts and countries of the other, and reside and trade there in all | kinds of produce, manufactures, and merchandise ; and they shall enjoy all the rights, privileges, and exemp- tions in navigation aod commerce which native citizens do or shall enjoy ; submitting themeelves to the laws, de- crees, and usages there established, to which native cit- izens or subjected. But it is understood that this arti- | cle does not include the coasting trade of either country, the regulation of which is reserved to the parties, re- spectively according to their own separate laws. Articte IV. They likewise agree that whatever kind of produce, manufacture, or merchandise of any foreign country can be from time to time lawfully im- n vessels, may be also imported in vessels of the Republic of Guatema- la ; and that no higher or other duties upon the tonage of the veesel or her cargo shall be levied and collected whether the importation be made in vessels of the one country or of the other: and in like manner, that what- ever kind of produce, manufacture, or merchandise of any foreign country can be ae oma — aes imported into the Republic of Guatemala in its o ‘ste, may be also seanorted in vessels of the U. States, and that no higher or other duties opon the tonnage of the vessel or her cargo shall be levied and collected, whether the importation be made in vessels of the one country or of the other. whatever may be lawfu the one country in its own ¥ , may be in like manner vessels of the other coun’ duties, and drawbacks Ny exported or reexported from essels to any foreign coun- exported or reexported in .

Arrticte VITI. Whenever the citizens of either of the contracting parties shall be forced to seek refuge or asylum in the rivers, bays, ports, or dominions of the other with their vessels, whether merchants or of war, public or private, through stress of weather, pursuit of pirates or enemies, they shall be received and treated with humanity, giving to them all favor and protection for repairing their ships, procuring provisions, and pla- wey.

Articte XIX. And whereas it frequently happens that vessels sail for a port or place ing to an ene- my without knowing that the same is besieged, blocka- ded, or invested, it is agreed that every vessel so cireum- stanced may be turned away from such port or place, but shall not be detained ; uor shail any part of her car- g°, if not contraband, be unless, after warn- ing of sugh blockade or investment from the command- ing officer of the blockading forces, she shall again at- tempt to enter; but she shull be permitted to goto any other port or place she shall think proper. Nor shall any vessel of either of the parties, that may have entered :n- to such port or place before the same was actually be- sieged, blockaded, or invested by the other, be resirain- ed from quitting such place with her cargo; nor, if found therein after the reduction and surrender, shall such vessel or cargo be liable to confiscation, but they shall be restored to the owners thereof. izens of either of the contracting parties shall be wreck- ed, foundered, or shall saffer any damage on the coasts | or within the dominions of the other, there shall be giv- | en to them all assistance and protection in the same man- | ner which is usual and customary with the veesels of the nation where the damage happens, permitting them to unload the said vessel (if necessary) of its merchandise and effects, without exacting for it any duty, impost, or contribution whatever, provided the same be exported. Articte XI.

And if, in the case of real estate, the said heirs would be prevented from entering into the pos- session of the inheritance on account of their character of aliens, there shall be granted to them the term of three years to dispose of the same as they may think roper and to withdraw the proceeds, without mo- tion, and exempt from all duties of detraction on the part of the government of thefrespective States. Articte XII. Both the segrintager . ies prom- ise and engage formally to give their special protection to the persons and paaperty of the citizens of each oth- er, of all occupations, who may be in the territories sub- ject to the jurisdiction of the one or of the other, tran- sient or dwelling therein, leaving open and free to them. the tribunals of justice for their judicial recourse, on the same terms which are usual and customary with the na- tives or citizens of the country in which they may be ; for which they may employ, in defence of their rights, such advocates, solicitors, notaries, agents, and factors as they may judge proper in all their trials at law; and such citizens or agents shall have free opportunity to be present at the decisions und sentences of the tribunals in all cases which may concern them, and likewise at the taking of all examinations and evidence which may be exhibited in the said trials. « Articce XIII.

It shall likewise be lawful for the citizens aforesaid to sail with the ships and merchandise before mentioned, | and to trade with the same liberty and security, from the ! places, ports, and havens of those who are enemies of © both or either party, without any opposition or distarb- ance whatsoever, not only directly from the places of | the enemy before mentioned to neutral places, but also | from one place belonging to an enemy to another place | belonging to an enemy, whether they be under the ju- risdiction of one power or under eeveral. And it is here- | by stipulated, that free ships shall also give freedom to | goods, and that every thing shall be deemed to be free | and exempt which shall be found on board the ships be- | longing to the citizens of either of the contracting par- | ties, although the whole lading or any part thereof should | appertain to the enemies of either—contraband goods | being always excepted. It is also agreed, in like man- | | ner, that the same liberty be extended to persons who | are on board a free ship, with this effect : that although they be enemies of both or either party, they are not to | be taken out of that free ship unless they are officers or | | soldiers, and in the actual service of the enemies ; pro- | vided, however, and it is hereby agreed, that the stipu- ' Jations in this artiele contained, declaring that the flag | shall cover the property, shall be understued as applying | | to those powers only who recognize this principle ; but | | if ether of the two contracting partics shall be at war | with a third and the other neutral, the flag or the nev- | tral shall cover the property of enemies whose govern- | ments acknowledge this priuciple, and not of others. | Articte XV. It is likewise agreed that in the case | where the neutral flag of one of the contracting parties | shall protect the property of the enemies of the other, by | virtue of the above stipulation, it shall always be under- | stood that the neutral property found on board such en- | | emy’s vessels shall be held and considered as enemy 8 | property, and as such shall be liable to detention and con- | fiscation, except such property as was pat on board such | vessel before the declaration of war or even afterwards, ' if it were done without the knowledge of it ; but the con- | tracting parties agree that, two months having elapsed | after the declaration, their citizens shail not plead ignor- ance thereof. On the contrary, if the flag of the neu- | tral does not protect the enemy’s property, in that case the goods and merchandises of the neutral embarked in such enemy’s ship shall be free. Aaticte XVI. This liberty of navigation and com- merce shall extend to all kinds of merchandises, except- ing those only which are distinguished by the name of contraband ; and under this — or pro- hibited goods shall be comprehended : let. Cannons, mortars, pigs swivels, blunder- busses, muskets, fusees, rifles, carbines, pistols, pikes, alberds, and .

In order to prevent all kind of disor- der in visiting and examination of the ships and cargoes of both the contracting parties on the high seas, they have agreed, mutually, that whenever a vessel of war, public or private, shall meet with a neutral of the con- tracting party, the first shall remain out of cannon-shot, and may send its boat, with twoor three men only, in order to execute the said examination of the papers con- cerning the ownership and cargo of the vessel, without causing the least extortion, violence, or ill-treatment, for which the commanders of the said armed ships shall be responsible, with their persons and property ; for which purpose, the commanders of the said private armed ves- sels shall, before receiving their commissions, give suffi- cient security to answer for all the damages they may commit. And it is expressly agreed, that the neutral party shall iu no case be required to go on board the ex- amining vessel for the purpose of exhibiting her papers, or for any other purpose whatever. Rainn sip XXI. To avoid all kind of vexation and in the examination of the papers relating to the plage 3 of the vessels “et ing to the citizens of the wo contracting parties, they have agreed, and do agree that in oobe ene Of them Medel be cugaged ta wait the ships and vessels belonging to the citizens of the other must be furnished with sea letters or passports express- ing the name, property, and bulk of the ship, as also the name and place of habitation of the master or comman- der of said vessel, in order that it may thereby appear that the ship really and truly belongs to the citizens of one of the parties. They have likewise agreed, that such ships, being laden, being laden, besides the said sea-letters or passports, shall also be provided with cer- tificates containing the several particulars of the cargo and the place whence the ship sailed, so that it may be known whether any forbidden or contraband goods be on board the same; which certificates shall bé made out by the officers of the place whence the ship sailed in the accustomed form; without which requisites said veasel may be detained to be adjudged by the compe- tent tiibunal, and may be declared legal prize, unless the suid defect shall be satisfied or supplied by testimony en- tirely equivalent. Articte XXII. It is further agreed, that the stip- ulations above expressed relative to the visiting and ex- amination of vessels shall apply only to those which sail without convoy ; and when said vessels shall be under convoy, the verbal declaration of the commander of the convoy, on his word of honor, that the vessels under his protection belong to the nation whose flag he carries, and, when they are bound to an enemy’s port, that they have no contraband goods on board, shall be sufficient. Articte XXIII. It is further agreed, that in all ca- ses the established courts for prize causes in the country to which the prizesmay be conducted shall alone take cognizance of them. And whenever such tribunal of either party shall pronounce judgment against any ves- sel, or goods, or property claimed by the citizens of the reasons or motives on which the same shall have been founded ; and an authenticated copy of the sentence or decree, and of all the proceedings in the case, shall, if demanded, be delivered to the cammander or agent of said vessel without any delay, he paying the legal fees for the same. Articte XXIV: Whenever one of the contracting parties shall be engaged in war with another State, no citizen of the other contracting party shall accept a come mission or letter of marque for the purpose of assisting or co-operating hostilely with the said enemy against the said party so at war, under the pain of being treated as a pirate. ArticLe XXV.

HUNTER, Acting Secretary of State. P [L. S.] Report of the Committee on Constituticnal. Amendments. Your Committee are of opinion that a frequent recurrence to fandamental pria- ciples is essentially necessary: and that the Constitution should not be changed ‘for light or transient causes. Jt is conceded that every alteration or modification of the organic law, involves, to some extent, the rights of the private citizen, and the principles of public liberty. “All political power is vested in 4 derived from the people only,” is a eardi- nal maxim of regulated freedom: enthe- died in the Bill of Rights: settled by the lessons of experience: sustained through- out the lapse of time, and amid every change of circumstances, by the jealous patriotism of the people. The first Con wiv until they arrive at the designated port. ‘The citizens of all other occupations who may be established in the | territories or dominions of the United States of Ameri- | ca and the Republic of Guatemala shall be respected | and maintained in the full enjoyment of their personal liberty and property, unless their particular conduct shall cause them to forfeit this protection, which, in consider- ation of humanity, the contracting parties engage to give them. Articte XXVI. Neither the debts due from indi- viduals of the one nation to individuals of the other, nor shares nor moneys which may have in public funds or in pablie or private banks, shall ever, in any event of war or of national difference, be sequestered or confis- cated. Articte XXVII. Both the contracting parties. be- ing desirous of avoiding all inequality in relation to their public communications and official intercourse, have a- greed, and do agree, to grant to the envoys, ministers, and other public agents the same favors, immunities, and | exemptions which those of the most favored nation do | | or shall enjoy ; it being understood that whatever favors, | immunities, or privileges the United States of Americ or the Republic of Guatemala may find it proper wo give the ministers and public agents of any other power, shall, by the same act, be extended to those of each of the contracting parties. Articte XXVIII. To make more effectual the pro- tection which the United States of America and the Republic of Guatemala shall afford in fatare to the nav- igation and commerce of the citizens of each other, they to receive and admit consuls and vice-consuls in all the ports open to foreign commerce, who shall enjoy in them all the rights, prerogatives, and immunities of the consals and vice-consuis of the most favured nation; each contracting party, however, remaining at liberty to except those ports und places in which the admission and residence of such consuls and vice-consuls may not seem convenient. Articte XXIX. In ordemhat the consuls and vice- conéuls of the two contracting parties may enjoy the rights, prerogatives, and immunities which belong to them by their public character, they shall, before enter- | mission or patent in due form to the gonrpment to which | they are accredited ; and, having obtained their exequa- tur, they shall be held and considered as such by all the authorities, magistrates, and inhabitants in the consular district in which they reside. Aaticie XXX. suls, their secretaries, offierrs, and persons attaelted to ths setvice of consuls, they not being citizena of the codatry in which the consul resides, shall be exempt | from all public service, aud also from all kind of taxes, imposts, and contribations, except those which they strall be obliged to pay on account of commerce or their | just then emerging from a state of ecole. /mand and obtain the Convention of 1838: | Tue Convention thus called, amended the , cunstitation; removed all the grievances ing on the exercise of their fuuctions, exhibit their co- | tenor of her way—illostrating ’ rity and conservatism of ber organic It is likewise agreed, that the con- | stitation was framed in 1776, and adopt? ed as the supreme law of a free people; notwithstanding the menaces ‘of over whelming power, and the frowns of ‘eo offended king. wre The wisdom of sages, and the conser#- atism of enlightened statestien, are en- stamped upon every line of that sacred instrurnent, although North Carolina was . é nial dependence. This Constitution remained in fall foree until the augmentation of population if the West produced inequality of repre. sentation, which induced the people tade- then complained of; adjusted amie the basis of representation ; and gra all the privileges which the the age demanded. ai Thus your Committee find that, in a space of time covering 78 sears, there have been no radical changes exeept thase made by the Convention of 1835, in ober dience to the expressed voice of the ped» ple, and ratified by them according te thé ancient republican asages! = et Under the Constitation of 1776, amended Constitation of 1885, thet of North Carolina bas pursued thé’ by protecting the rights of every ci and securing to her just gule,a losal ep mission. ins shietees Your Committee are of opit that when amendments to the organie” seggésted byotime and experiencé, and clearly demanded by the pepuiarr voiee, that @ convention, from the people, decint property, to which the citizens and inhabitants, native ouly the safer, wiser mode, but most stfiet vite rele ade Oued Co ly in accordanc landmarks. It may be said that amendment of the Constitution, by legislative enactment, !s in exact conformity to a provision of the tation itself, and cannot be at war ib ihe fundamental maxim, that “all political power is vested in and derived from the people only.” But your commit: tee conceive that there isa great and ma terial difference between the simple right or power of accepting or rejecting, and that {all and complete power of the peo- ple, to begin, conduct ané complete, addi- tions or alterations in their organic law. In the present and prospective condition of things, it is not likely that the election of members to*the Assembly.,at the general election, will, in half the instances, turn parely on issues growing out of amend- ments to Constitution. Party spirit, and many other exciting issues of Federal and State policy, that are usually mixed up in the biennial elections, will ever prevent such a result. When the people yield to the General Asseinbly this legislative power over their fundamental law they have, by precedent, vested it with addi- tional power, blended in the same body, the law-m@king and the constitution making power. An important object of the Constitation is to limit the power of legislators, and other persons whom the le entrust with power. Let it be once established, that the people, on their own motion, can have no other privilege or safeguard, by constitutional provision, than such as those whom they first place in power may propose to them, it is ap- prebended they have taken one step to the prejudice of popular rights and well-reg- ulated freedom. It is true, that in the matter of amend. ing the Constitution of the United States, Congress has the power of proposing amendmenis to the States, but your Com mittee are at a loss to see what instruc- tion this gives as to the safer mode of amending the Constitation of North Caro- lina. The Constitution of the United States forms a government of limited powers, for certain purposes, uniting the people of the States, and for its authority rests on the adoption of the people in their respective States—each State, irrespec- tive of the number of inhabitants, having the same voice. Saving the power that North Carolina has, for the general good, surrendered to the General Government, she. is a sovereign State—a government ofthe people. It is to be feared, that if the legislative mode of amending the Con- stitution becomes, by precedent, fixed on the people, in making the important al- teration now contemplated, we sball, for years to come, have the attention of the Assembly occupied with constitutional a- mendments, and that members of this Le- gislature will see the day, when some Go- vernor of the State, in his biennial mes- sage, will suggest the propriety of ap- pointing commissioners to revise and de- tine the Constitution itself. Other amendmends — the election of judges and justices of the peace by the people—are recommended by the Exec- utive. Others, in which the public mind take adeep interest, are urged, and as the period arrives for connecting them in the party politics of the day, will possibly one after another, be brought to the at- tention of the Assembly ; such as the elec- tion of a Lieutenant Governor, Secretary, Treasurer, Comptroller, the qualifications of Governor, Members of Assembly, Ju- rors, &c. with ancient republican Beside these, are the more exciting questions of the basis of representation. These questions, as to the basis of repre- sentation, have as yet been merely sec- tional, but they are of a character, for oth- er reasons, to become exciting elements with other questions in our popular elec. tions. We could present many consider- ations against having the settlement of all these constitutional questions kept be- fore the public mind a sufficient length of time, for the Legislature, by any thing it ean do, to give quiet and fina] settlement to'them all. However little inclined the | popular mind may be now, to many of | the modifications alluded to, we should | profit by observation and the experience | ofthe past. We hope tobe charged with no vnreasonable reflections, when we say that in future political contests, parties, desirous of success, may not hesitate to favor the views of the friends of any ol the alterations mentioned, thereby indica- timg more concern for the success and tri- umph of party, than the stability and per. manence of the Constitution, and thereby giving the triumph of party,by such means secured, the appearance of the popular decision on a question of reform, which was only an element in the strife of suffi- cient influence to turn the scales. .Leapressed with these views, your Committee entertain the seitied conviction that, ifthe Gen eral Assembly travel out of the true and legiti- mate patb of legislation, to tinker with the C®. | stitution, that it will be establishing a danger. | ous precedent, and committing the people to a of amendment, which the history of the two last legislatures demonstrates to be both expensive and precarious. In the event this system of constitutional re. form be continued, it is not improbable that the law may become shreds and the origi Comstitution, with many of the principles of conservative liherty which it embodies, be last amid the rubbish of legislative enactments. Your Committee believe that all these grave ought to be definitely settled at the period, and thus obviate the fruitless and bad temper, which must necea. from the inseparable connection, un- ie existing circumstances, with the ordinary tion of the country, and exciting issues, jing out of the politices of the day. ~ Owing to extraneous influences already in- dicated, the spirit of innovation may be at work in every legislature, and thus render the Con. siltution unstable as water. It is desirable therefore, in every view of the matter, that all these vesed questivns of constitutional reform should be thrust out from the arena of politics, and commitied where they rightly belong—to the calm dispassionate, and enlightened judg- meat of a free people. Confiding in the wis- ssembly, to devise some more speedy and satisfactory plan, by which dom ot the General A the people may pass Bpon aud settle finally for themselves, all these. deeply interesting ques- tions, your committee respectiully di to the recommendations of the Governor and ask ed to be discharged from the further consider. ation of the subject. Respeettully summitted, W.S. HARRIS, Chm’n. W.H. TRIPP, WILLLIE PERRY, C. M. STILES. MINORITY REPORT. The undersigned, members of the Select Committee on Constitutional Reform, to whom was referred the bill to amend the Constitution of North Carolina, do not concur in the report submitted by a majority of that committee ; and beg leave tu enter their unqualified dissent thereto, and to express their most hearty ap. proval of the mode therein adopted for effect. ing it. “The right of an elector, who is once quali- fied to vote fur candidates for all elective offices lies at the very foundation of American ideas of liberty and equality, and no one can oppose it, who believes in the capacity of man for self. government. ‘The statement of the proposition amounts in itself to a demonstration, because equality at the ballot box must be an axiom ia the politi. cal faith of every genine advocate and support. er of republican principles. An elaborate argument, therefore, to sup- port the principle of equal suffiage, as involved in the bill, is unnecessary, and would be an act of supererogation at this time, The patri- otic and intelligent voters of North Carolina have demanded a change in our fundamental law, so as to incorporate therein, this priaciple of equality, with a unanimity unparalelled, and in a voice which cannot be disregarded. The people have not only settled the question as re- gards the bill, now under consideration, by an emphatic approval of the principle it involves, but they have approved, in terms alike decisive, the mode therein adopted, of amending their constitution, at least so far as regards the a- mendment embodied in the bill. The only enquiry, therefore, which should have engaged the attention of the commitlee, was, whether the requirements of the Constitu- tion, in relation to amendments thereto by the Legislature, had been strictly complied with. Upon this latter point, there was no difference of opinion among the members of the commit. tee, Atthe last session of the General Assem- bly, the present bill passed both Houses, by the majority prescribed by tbe Constitution, and all the solemnilies required in its enactment were duly observed at that session. The committee likewise concurred in opinion, that this bill, so agreed to, at the last session, had been duly published six months previous to the election of the members of this General Assembly. It is much to be regretted that differences of opinion among the members of the committee, either as to the principle involved in the amendment itself, or, as to the mode of effecting it, should have resulted in a report adverse to a bill, which meets the approval of nine-tenths of the people ot the State, and indignant would have been the popular response from all sections, if the report of a majority of the committee determin- ed the question ; but fortunately, it still remains for this Legislature to decide whether they will, by a two-third vote, effectuate the object so wisely begun at the last session, by re-en. acting this bill, and submit the great and im- portant question it involves, to the people for their ratification ; or whether objections, mere- ly formal, shall torestall the wishes of ihe peo- ple, debar them the enjoyment of essential po- liteal privileges. Hoping that all the members of the Houses may ultimately agree to unite with the undersigned in responding to the de- mands of the House may uliimately agree to unite with the undersigned in responding to the demands of the people in relation to equal suf- frage, they earnestiy recommend the passage of the present bitl, as the most effectual and speedy mode of consummating the wishes of the people on that subject. Respectlully submitted, SAMUEL A. WILLIAMS, JO. DOBSON, C. M. STILES. The Proposed Purchase of Cuba.—We would feel deeply obliged to any of the admirers of the late President Polk, if they would point usto the provision in the Constitution of the United States which authorised that functionary to offer Spain a hundred million of dollars for the pur- chase of Cuba? The democracy profess to go for a strict construction of the Con- stitution—to deny all powers not granted by that instrument. Do they approve of Mr. Polk’sconduct? No doubt they do.— Let them show us then, where he got the power ? Is it not most amazing that the people should put confidence in a set of politi- cians who profess a strict obedience to the Constitution, and yet violate it in such monstrous paticulars as the claim of a power to make war, and to spend a hun. dred millions of dollars, both by the mere will of one man.in utter contempt of Con gress, and both during one Administration of four years? ‘ With the power to do what he pleases, and to prevent what he don’t like from being done, isthe President of the United States less than a monarch? Of what use is Congress ? The “ Union,” we see, does not approve of the publication of the correspondence on the subject. It thinks that its pablica- tion at this juncture should not have been permitted by the President. And it is worthy of remark that the Editor of the Union, as Printer to Congress, bas had these important documents in his posses- sion since July last, and bas carefully con- cealed them from the public, until the In- telligencer accidentally heard of them and brought them to light. It strikes us that the evil is not so mach in the present publication as in the origi- nal writing of such things; In our coun- try it is the fashion not to tolerate “State secrets,” and if no other good results from a conformity to that fashion, it at least is calculated to make those in authority careful how they attempt unlawful things. No doubt the Union,” and the Locofoco party, are astounded at the uparalelled assumption of Kingly porwer by President Polk, and that they would have been glad if the correspondence had never -seen the light. But Congress chose to call for it, as it had a right to do,and President Filt- | great and more chose to comply with the call, as it| fail, was his doty todo. The wrong, we rex peat, was in writing the letters, not im) publishing them. , The “Union” professes to be delighted with “the masterly ability, the perfect knowledge of the subject, and the high principle di an’s despatch. But it utters no word in justification of the bold assumption of power to commit this government toa debt of a hundred millions of dollars,— We hope it will sbow os whence this pow- er is derived. — Fayetteville Observer. A Sketch.—A mother was kneeling in the hash of evening, at the couch of two infants, whose rosy arms were twined in a mutual embrace. A slumber, soft as the moonlight that fell through the lattice over them, like a silvery veil, lay on their delicate lips—the soft bright curl that clustered on their pillow were slightly stirred by their gentle and healthy breath- ings, and that smile, which beams from the pure depths of the fresh glad spirit, yet rested on their red lips. The mother look- ed upon their exceeding beauty with a momentary pride—and then, as she con- tinued to gaze on the lovely slumberers, her dark eye deepened with an intense | and unutterable fondness, and a cold shud- | dering fear came over her, lest those buds of life, so fair, so glowing, might be touch- | ed with sudden decay, and gather back in their brightnessto the dust. As she lifted | her voice in prayer, solemnly, passionate- ly, earnestly, that the Giver of Life would still spare to her those blossoms of love, over whom her soul thus yearned. And as the low breathed accents rose on the still air, a deepened thought came over her, and her spirit went out with ber | loved and pure ones into the strange wild paths of life and a strong horror chilled ber frame as she beheld mildew and blight settling on the fair and lovely of the earth, and high and rich hearts scathed with des- olating and guilty passions. And the prayer she was breathing. grew yet more fervent, even to agony that He who was the fountain of all purity, would preserve these whom He had given her in their per- fect innocence, permitting neither shame nor crime, nor folly, to cast a stain qn the brightness with which she had received them invested from His hand as with a mantle. As the prayer died away in the weak- ness of the spent spirit, a pale shadowy form stood beside the infant sleepers.— “I am Death,” said the spectre, “and I am come for thy babes, l am commissioned to bear tbem where the perils you deprecate are unknown; where neither stain, dast nor shadow can reach the rejoicing spirit. It is only by yielding them to me you can preserve them forever from contamination and decay.” A wild conflict, a struggle as of the soul panting in strong agony, shook the mother’s frame, but faith, and the love which hath a purer fount than that of earthly passions, triamphed, and she yielded up ber babes to the spectre.— “Behold ” said Death, as he touched the fair forms, and the beauty of life gave place to a holier and yet deeper loveli- ness, ‘behold the smile of innocence is for- ever sealed. They will awake where there is neither blight nor tempest.’ And the benign power, whom we call the | Spoiler, bore away the now perfected blossoms of immortality to the far-off sky. RAIL ROAD ACCIDENT. A dreadful accident happened on our Rail Road on Friday evening last, near Clarkson’s Turn Out, on the Camden Branch, which, we regret to say, was at- tended with loss of life. The accident | was occasioned by the falling in of the culvert over a creek, the waters of which had been much swollen by the late rains | and had undermined the work. Just af. | ter the engine had passed over, the cul- | vert gave way, precipitating the tender, | mail and baggage cars, which had be- | come detached from the engine down the precipice, smashing them to pieces, in- stantly killing Mr. Richard Singleton and his grandson, a youth 12 or 13 years of | age and severely wounding Messrs. May- rant and Bradley, of Sumter, passengers, and Messrs. Sloan and Scantling, conduc: | tors. These gentlemen were in the mail | car. Mr. Shiver, assistant conductor, | who was in the baggage car was also_ badly hure. Mr. Mayrant had his thigh broken. and was otherwise bruised. Mr. Bradlen it was thought was so badly in- | jured internally that he could not survive, but we are happy to learn he is likely to | recover. Mr. Scantling and Mr. Shiver | are doing well, and Mr. Sloan, though sof. | fering a good deal, is able to be up. About | a third of the passenger car was broken up | and though there were a large number of | passengers in it, fortunately, none of them | were injured.— Camden Journal. The Public Lands.—Col. Benton in his | last speech, demands that the general go- | vernment shall relinquish all its title to| all Public Lands in the States within which they lie. All who know the abili- ty and the dogged perseverance of Col. Benton, will look out for the most deter- mined effort in the next Congress, when Col. Benton takes his seat in the House of Representatives, to effect this measure of wrong and robbery of the Atlantic States. He fixes eight years hence as the time when the surrender shall be made. The great danger which the Atlantic States now see impending, of losing their equal and just right to this immense trea- sure, would never have overtaken them, if they had stood by their rigbts when Clay’s Land Bill was passed, and pocket- ed by Gen. Jackson. If that measure had gone into effect as the settled policy: of the covntry, not only would North Caro- lina have realized millions already, but its rigbt to millions to come would not have been questioned. But the Locofo co party, rather than allow Henry Cuay layed in Secretary ‘Buchan-}. | having voted in the affirmative, the bill was Jost. | bill. | bill passed its second reading by a vote of 72 | to 35. by ry ; fear t roken too been available in+1833.— Salisbury, N.C.

We are requested to state that a meeting of the Trus- tees of Davidson College will be héld in Charlotte on the’ 23rd instant, at 7 o'clock, P. M., and todesire a full at- tendance of the Board, as business of great impurtance to the Institution will be transacted. (> Genera SAUNDERS AND HIS PARTY rrienvs.—Gen. Saunders, it will be re- membered, has come out strongly and de- cidedly in favor of claiming, for North Carolina, her share of the proceeds of the public lands. It is known that North Car- olina, in common with all the old States, has a large interest in the public domain ; and that for years past Congress has been giving away to foreigners and to the new States, these lands.. The Whig party have uniformly denounced this unjust system, and have contended that these lands ought to be sold and the proceeds distributed to the rightful owners, to wit, the old States. Gen. Saunders, unfortunately for him it would seem, takes the same view of this great question thatis held by the Whig par- ty. This is sufficient to secure his condem- nation: the party press are out upon him with a bitterness that would scarcely be excelled if he were guilty of high treason ; and al! manner of appliances are brought into requisition to intimidate and drive him from his position. Up to this time he has withstood them all, like the brave old oak that weathers the storms and temp- ests of the winter’s blasts. And so may he continue to stand them out: He is right—he is battling for the just dues and interest of his State, and may God, and the consciousness of right, sustain him to the end, against all opposition. THE LEGISLATURE. In the Senate, on Tuesday, the Free Suffrage bill, it will be seen, was taken up on its first reading, as the order of the day, and, without discussion, the ayes and noes were called,which resulted—yeas 31, nays 16. ‘Two thirds not Mr. Hoke, of Lincoln, who had voted aGatnsT the bill,then moved a reconsideration of the vote, which was carried. The bill was then laid upon the table and made the order of the day for Friday, (to-day.) at 12 o’clock. We can- not, of course, say whether this bill will pass or not. This much we know, however: that some of the gentlemen, who voted against it, are strongly opposed to this, and all other amend. ments to the constitution; while a number of the others, if not all, are opposed to amending that instrument by Legislative enactment.— These two principles combined may defeat the The bill to provide for appointing a Superin- tendent of Common Schools, and for other pur- poses, passed its third reading, and has only, to be ratified to become a law. ‘The Superinten- dent is to be elected by the Legislature. We congratulate the friends of common Schools throughout the State, upon the success of this measure. It will be seen that the bill to incorporate the | Bank of the Tobacconists, to be established in Rockingham, has been rejected. In the House of Commons, the Jackson coun- ty bill was the subject of an animated discus- sion on Tuesday morning. Messrs. Avery, Dargan, Wheeler, W. E. Hill and D. Reid spoke in favor of continuing Jackson as a coun- ty; and Messrs. Cherry, and D. F. Caldwell opposed it. It seemed to be conceded that Jackson had not the ratio of population to enti tle it to a member of the Commons, and the ground upon which it was supported, was, prin- cipally, that baving been established as a coun. ty, it was impolitic to repeal it. The ground of A pe . ne ger ae ive action of importance was had | ie the Set tr aligh Register _ ARTESIAN WELL. An Artesian Well is to be bored in the centre of the public square, in the city of Mobile. We trast that + attempt, which has been commenced, may be successful —_that an abundant sapply of pure water may be obtained. Such an improvement is greatly needed in that city. ; We understand that the Council of this place, contemplate having & -Well bored in the public square. We commend the project and hope they will enter upon the work speedily. “ Procrastinatiun is the thief of time.” —Sumter County Whig. Why may not the citizens of Salisbury, do the same? If Livingston in Alabama, a little country Town, can afford the ex- pense of an Artesian Well, surely Salis- bury, the Commercial Emporium of Wes- tern North Carolina, might not do less. Oar situation is one of great danger in case of fire, under present circumstances : all the old citizens of this place who have had opportunities to know the fact, will remember that on an occasion of fire there is no cry which riges above that of “ wa- ter! WATER!” And this indispensable element at such times can only be had by the slow and laborious process of letting down small buckets and drawing them ap with windlesses. But this means, even, is deficient, and it is often the case that our wells give cut before the fire is subdued. They give out, frequently without any such extraordinary draught as is required to subdue flames ; and our citizens are put to much trouble to procure a sufficient quantity of good, pure water for common domestic purposes of life. But suppose a fire were to break out on either of the four squares cornering near the Courthouse: The buildings are wedg- ed in together for the distance of two or more squares from that central point. If the Courthouse should take fire from ei- ther of the corners, as it certainly would, the flames would be communicated to the buildings on all four corners, and the ra- ging of the flames for one hour would be sufficient to lay the whole business part of the town in ashes. It would be impos- sible to get a sufficient quantity of water to supply even one engine, and. keep it constantly at work. What, then, would be the value of an Artesian Well near the Courthouse, spouting up an abundance of water, affording enough for both engines, and a surplus to be borne off in buckets? We have frequently, heretofore, alluded to our destitution of water facilities, and suppose there is no man acquainted with the facts, but admit all to be true. Bat strange to say, nothing has ever yet been done by our “city fathers” to supply this most essential want. If a big fire were to sweep away the Town, then we should likely have anotherillustration of mis-tim- ed caution—another locking of the stable door after the horse is gone. The Rev.

We are persuaded that these amounts far exceed all the taxes paid by the people of our State for other and are far beyond the amount that Was ever levied by any Government, free_or despotic, in the way of taxas for any. purpose. We also call your attention to the fact that)great numbers of able-bodied citi- zens of-our commonwealth are rendered lazy, idle, improvident, and incapable of labor by the, enervating effects of alcohol, while, |4rge: numbers are hastened into premature graves ; by which consequen- tg é portion of the productive Ja- bor of the country is withdrawn or held &tid they who should render it are converted into unprofitable consumers, and t ceiibcrcdsdl exactions are made upon thevhard earnings of the industrial c “) We beg you also to consider in what a degree these examples tend to effect the morals, thetintelligence and the physical efiergies of those thatare to come after us Who are’to'take our places when wo hAve ceased to exist upon earth. We conjure you also to reflect what amount of pain and sorrow is thus intro- duced into the domestic circles of those whom you represent, and especially how often the female portion of our population are, on this occount, insulted and oppress- ed, and how often reduced to poverty and shame. We submit to you also how much less secure the enjoyment of every species of property, even the houses above our heads are rendered, by the unbridled excesses of drunkenness. How often peacefal assemblages of our citizens are disturbed by shocking impre- cations and disgusting spectacles. _How often the Sabbath day is contemn- ed and profaned. How all religious and .moral sympathies, and all pure affection, and all refined sentiments and tastes are made to wither under the influences of strong drink. ‘How the good fellowship of neighbor- hoods and the kindly relations of social life, are thus outraged and broken up. How peace on earth and good will to- wirls man have, from this cause, takeu flight and forsaken many parts of our country. This brief and imperfect recapitulation is deemed. by us appropriate, because all theevils and grievances of which we have spoken-are clearly in the range of your legielative functions, and within your power to alleviate, if not entirely to re- dress. .The legislation of North Carolina upon x6 subject of the vending of spirituous |i- quor;.which imposes a tax of ten dollars G@pon*all such as are licensed to sell, and ch makes it penal in all others to deal it in quantities less than a quart, is an ac- knowledgement ‘to some extent, of the force of the truths we have endeavored to bring to your consideration.

AN EXPERIMENT. The N. Y. Tribune says :—" Singular re. sults are obtained in this city ftom avery sim ple application of the nervous fluid, animal mag- netism, or whatever be the agency, to brute matter. Leta party of six or eight persons sit around a common pine table for twenty mio- utes to half an hour with the palins of the hands flat on the top of the table ; it is not necessary that their minds should pay any attention to the process,or conversation be suspended ; but pres. ently the table becomes so charged with the mysterious fluid that it begins to move; then rise from it, push away your chairs ; still hold- ing your hands near, though it is not necessary toto touch it, and it will tura round from end to end; and even proceed rapidly about the room, without any visible agent on which ex- cursions the persous must bear it company or the current is broken and the movement stops. This simple experiment may be easily tried ; it requires no faith and no outlay of physical or moral strength; and the result, with a table that is not too heavy, is pretty sure to follow.” [IF Dr. Lucas, the celebrated Irish poet, having, after a very short contest, | carried the election as representative in Parliament, for the city of Dablin, was met afew days after by a lady whose family was very warm in the interest of the onsuccessful candidate. * Well, doctor,’ said she, ‘I find you have gained the election.’ ‘Yes, madam.’ ‘No wonder, sir, all the blackguards vo- ted for you.’ ‘No madam, your two sons did not,’ re- plied the doctor.’ A number of the Democratic citizens of Boston and.vicinity are getting up a com- plimentary testimonial of their personal esteem of the President elect, in the sha of a “model” carriage, together with hor- ses and equipage complete, all of New Engtand production, for the occasion of bis inauguration in March next.

VOLUME IX—NUMBER 82. | sannnianenmen to Havana has, with the exce ions above al— uded to, been marked with Saaers and lib- erality, and indicates no general purpose of in. terfering with the commercial correspondence and intercourse between the island and this country. Early io the present year official notes were received from the Ministers of France and England, inviting the Government of the Uni- led States to become a party with Great Brit- ain and France toa triparitite Convention,in vir. tue of which the three powers should severally and collectivety disclaim, now and for the tu- ture, all intention to obtain possession of the Island of Cuba, and should bind themselves to discountenance all aliempts to that effect onthe part of any power or individual whatever. The Invitation has been respecifully declined, for reasons which it would vecupy loo much space in this communication to state in detail, but which led meto think that the proposed measure would be of doubiful conatitutionality, impolitic, and unavailing. I have, however, in common with several of my predecessors, directed the Ministers of France and England to be assured that the United States entertain no designs a— gainst Cuba; but that, on the contrary, | should regard its incorporation into the Union at the present time as fraught with serious peril. Were this island camparatively destitute of inhabitants, or occupied by a kindred race, J ehould regard it, if voluntarily ceded by Spain, asa most desirable acquisition. But, under exisiing circumstances, | should look upon its incorporation into our Union as a very hazard. vus measure. It would bring into the Confed. eracy a population of a different national stock, speaking a different language, and not likely to harmonize with the other members. It would probably affect in a prejudicial manner the in. dustrial interests of the South ; and it might re. vive those conflicts of opinion between the dif- ferent sections of the country, which lately shook the Union to its centre, and which have been so happily compromised. The rejection by the Mexican Congress of the Convention which had been concluded be— tween that Republic and the United States, for the protection of a transit way across the Isth- mus of Tehuantepec and of the interests of those citizens of the United States who had become proprietors of the rights which Mexico had conterred on one of her own citizens in regard to that transit, has thrown a serious ob. stacle in the way of the attainment of a very desirable national object. 1 am still willing to hope that the differences on the subject which exist, or may hereafter arise, between the gov- ernments, will be amicably adjusted. This subject, however, has already engaged the at— tention of the Senate of the United States, and requires no further comment in this communi- cation, The settlement of the question respecting the port of San Juan de Nicaragua, and of the controversy between the republics of Costa Rica and Nicaragua in regard to the bounda— ries, was considered indispensable to the com. mencement of the ship canal between the two oceans, which was the subject of the Conven-— tion between the United States and Great Bri. tain of the 19th of April, 1850. Accordingly a proposition for the same purposes addressed 1o the two governments in that quarter, and to the Mosquito Indians, was agreed to in April last by the Secretary of State and the Mintster of her Britanic Majesty. Besides the wish to aid in reconciling the differences of the two republics, I engaged in the negotiation from a desire to place the great work of a ship canal between the two oceans under one jurisdiction, and to establish the important port of San Juan de Nicaragua under government of a civilized power. ‘The proposition in question was as— sented to by Costa Rica and the Mosquito In- dians. It has not proved equally acceptable to Nicaragua, but it is to be hoped that the fur— ther negotiations on the subject which are in train will be carried on in that spirit of coneil!— iation and compromise which ought always to prevail on such occasions, and that they will lead to a satisfactory result. I have the satisfaction to inform you that the executive government of Venezuela has ac— knowledged some claims of citizens of the Uni- ted States, which have for many years past been urged by our charge de’affuires at Caraccas. It is hoped that the same sense of justice will actuate the Congress of that Republic in pro- viding the means for their payment.

SALISBURY, N. C., THU ———LS RSDAY. DECEMBER 16, 1859. I have the satisfaction to inform you that the course persued by Peru has been creditable to the liberality of her government. Before it was known by ber that ber title would be ac- knowledged at Washington, her Minisier of Foreign Affaires bad authorized our charge de’affaires at Lima to announce to the Ameri- can vessels which had gone to the Lobos for guano, that the Peruvian Government was will. ing to freight them on its own account. This intention has beeu carried into effect by the Peruvian Minister here, by an arrangement which is believed to the advantageous to the parties in intereat, Our settlements on the shores of the Pacific have already given a greal extension, and in some respects a new direction, to our com. merce in that ocean. A direct and rapidly in- creasing intercourse has sprung up with Eas— tera Asia. The waters of the Northern Paci- fic, even into the Aretic sea, bave of late years been frequented by our whalemen. ‘The ap— plication of steam to the general purposes of navigation is becoming daily more common, aod makes it desirable to obtain fuel and other necessary supplies at convenient points on the route between Asia and our Pacific shores.— Uur uafortunate countrymen who trom time to lime suffer shipwreck onthe coasts of the eastern | seas are entitled to protection. Besides these | specific objects, the general prosperity of our States on the Pacific requires that an attempt should be made to open the opposite regions of | fi Asia to a mutually beneficial intercourse. It is obvious that this attempt could be made by no power to so great an advantage as by the United States, whose constitutional sysiem ex. cludes every idea of colonial dependencies. | have accordingly been led to order an appro— priate naval force to Japan, under the com— mand of a discreet and intelligent officer of the highest rank known to our service. He [a in— structed to endeavor to obtain from the govern. ment of that country some relaxation of the in- hospitable and anti-social system which it has pursued for about two centuries. Ho has been directed particularly to remonstrate in the strongest language against the cruel treatment to which our shipwrecked mariners have ofien been subjected, and to insist that they shall be treated with humanity. He is instructed how. ever, at the same time to give that government the amplest assurances that the objects of the United States are such and such only asl have indicated, and that the expedition is friendly and peaceful. Notwithstanding the jealousy with which the governments of Eastern Asia regard all overtures from foreigners, | am not without hopes of a beneficial result of the ex. pedition. Should it be crowned with success, the advantages will not ve confined to the Uni. ted States, but, as in the case of China, will be eqally enjoyed by all the other maratime pow. ers. I bave much satisfactiun io stating that in all the steps preparatory to this expedition the government of the United States has been materially aided by the good offices of the King of the Netherlands, the only European power having any commercial! relations with Japan. AT large importations of foreign goods upon ‘our curreacy. Most of the gold of California, as as it is coined, finds its way directly to Eu. rope, in payment in goods purchased. [0 the second place, as our manulacturing establish. ments are broken down by competition with for. eigners, the capital invested in them is lost ; thousands of honest and industrious citizens are thrown out of employment, and the farmer to that extent is deprived of a home market for the sale of bis surplus produce. In the third place the destruction of our manufactures leaves the foreigner without competition in our market, and he consequently raises the price of the ar. ticle sent here for sale, as is now seen in the ‘acreased cost of iron imported from England. Ibe prosperity and wealth of every nation must depend Upon its productive industry. The far mer Is stimulated to exertion by finding a ready market for his surplas products ; and benefitted by being able to exchange them, without loss of time or expense of transportation, for the manufactures which his comfort or convenience requires. This is always done to the best ad. vantage where a portion of the community in which he lives is engaged in other pursuits. — But most manufactures require an amount of capital and a practical skill which cannot be commanded, unless they be protected for a time from ruinous competition from abroad. Hence the necessity of laying those duties* upon im ported goods which the constitution authorizes or revenue, in such a manneras to protect and encourage the labor of our own citizens. Du. ties however should not be fixed at a rate so high as to exclude the foreign article, but should be so graduated as to enable the domes. tic manufacturer fairly to compete with the for. eigner in our own markets, and by this compe. tition to reduce the price of the manufactured article to the consumer to the lowest rate at which it can be produced. This poltey would place the mechanic by the side of the farmer, create a mutual interchange of their respective commodities, and thus stimulate the industry of the whole country, and render us independent of foreign nations for the supplies required by the habits or necessities of the people. Another question, wholly independent of pro. teclion, presents itself, and that is, whether the duties levied should be upon the value of the ar. ticle at the place of shipment, or, where it is practicable, a specific duty, graduated accord. ing 'o quantity, as ascertained by weight or measure. All! our duties are at present ad va lorem. A” certain per centage is levied on the price of the goods at the port of shipment in a foreign country. Most commercial nations have found it indispensable, for the purpose ot preventing fraud and perjury, to make the duties specific whenever the article is of such a uni- form value in weight or measure as to justify such a duty. Legislation should never encour. age dishonesty or crime. It is impossible that the revenue officers at the port where the goods are entered and the duties paid should know with certainty what they cost in the foreign country. Yet the law requires that they should In passing trom this survey of our foreign re- lations, [ invite the attention of Congress to the condition of that department of the Government | to which this branch of the public business is entrusted. Our intercourse with foreign pow. levy the duty according to such cost. They | are therefore compelled to resort to very unsat. isfactory evidence to ascertain what that cost was. They take the invoice of the importer, attested by his oath, as the best evidence of which the nature of the case admits. But ev. ers bas of late years greatly increased, both in | ery ove must see that the invoice may be fabri. consequence of our own growth and the intro- | cated, and the oath by which it is supported duction of many new States into the family of | nations. In this way, the Department of Siate has become overburdened. It has, by the re. cent establishment of the Departiwnent of the | Interior, been relieved of some portion of the domestic business. Ifthe residue of the busi- ness of that kind, such as the distribution of Congressional documents, the keeping, publish. ing and distribution of the laws of the United States, the execution of the copyright law, the subject of reprieves and pardons and some oth. er subjects relating to interior administration, should be transferred from the Department of State, it would unquestionably be for the benefit of the publie service. I would also suggest that the building appropriated to the State De- pariment is not fireproof; that there is reason to think there are defects in its construction, and that the archives of the Government in charge of the Department, with the precious collections of the manscript papers of Washing- ton, Jefferson, Hamilton, Madison, and Monroe, are exposed to destruction by fire. A similar remark may be made of the buildirgs appro. priated to the Warand Navy Departments. The condition of the ‘Treasury is exhibited in the annual report from that Department. The cash receipts into the Treasury for the fiscal year ending the 30th June last, exclusive of trast funds, were $49,728,386 89, and the | expendilures of the same period, likewise exclu- sive of trust funds, were $46,007,896 20; of which $9,455,815 83 was on account of the principal and interest of the public debt, inclu. ding the last instalment of the indemnity to Mex. ico, under the treaty of Gaudalupe Hidalgo : leaving a ballance of $14,623, 136 37 in the Treasury on the 1st day of July last. Since this latter period, further purchases of the prin. cipal of the public debt have been made to the extent of $2,456,547 49, and the surplus ia the Treasury will coatinue to be applied to that ob. ject whenever the stock can be procured with. in the limits, as to price, authorized by law. The value of foreiga merchandise imported during the last fiscal year was $207,240, 101; and the value of domestic productions exported was $149,861,911, eee. all eahanrag ol foreign merchandise exported ; making the ag. gre aie of the entire exports $167,065,937,— Exclusive of the above there was exported $42,. 507,285 in specie ; and imported trom foreign 262, 643. he hs ri annual message to Congress I called your attention to what seemed to me some defects in the present tariff, and recommend such modifications as in my judgment were best adapted to remedy its evils aad promote the prosperity of the country. Nothing has siece hed | oeeurred to change my views on (bis important sti . We Without repeating the arguments coatained in my former message, in favor of prone ting, protective duties, 1 deem it my duty toca oame caccias to one or two other considerations affecting this subject, The first is, the effect of false, by reason of which the dishonest import— er pays a part only of the duties which are paid | by the honest one, and thus indirectly receives from the treasury of the United States a re ward for his fraud and perjury. ‘The reporte of the Secretary of the Treasury heretofore made on this subject show conclusively that these frauds have been practiced to a great extent.— The tendency is to destroy that high moral char. acter for which our merchants have long been distinguished ; to defraud the government of its revenue ; to break down the honest importer by a dishonest competition; and, finally to trans. fer the business of importation to foreigu and irresponsible agents, to the great detriment of our own citizens. I therefore again most ear- nestly recommend the adoption of specific du— lies, wherever it is practicable, or a home val— uation, to prevent those frauds. I would also again call your attention to the fact that the present tariff in some cases impos— es a higher duty upon the raw material import— ed than upon the article manufactured {rom it, (he consequence of which is that the duty ope rales to the encouragement of our own cilizens. For full and detailed information in regard to the general condition of our Indian affairs, | re. specifully reler you to the report of the Secre. tary of the loterior and the accompanying doc- uments. The Senate not having thought proper to rat. ify the treaties which had been negotiated with the tribes of Indians in California and Oregon, our relations with them have been left in a very unsatisiactory condition. In other parts of our territory particular dis. tricts of country have been set apart for the ex. clusive occupation of the Indians, and their right to the lands within those limits has been ac— knowledged and respected. But in California, and Oregon there bas been no recognition by the Government of the exclusive right of the Indians to any part of the country. They are therefore mere tenants at sufferance, and liable to be driven from place to place, at the pleasure of the whites. The treaties which bave been rejected pro- posed to remedy this evil by allowing to the dif. fereat tribes districts of country suitable to their babits of life, and sufficient for their support.— This provision, more than any other, it is be— lieved, led to their rejection ; and as no sub. stitute for it bas been adopted by Congress, it bas not been deemed advisable to attempt to en- ter into new treaties of a permanent character ; although no effort bas been spared by tempo— rary arrangements to preserve friend|y relations with them. If it be the desire of Congress to remove them fram the country aliogether, or io assiga to them particular districts more remote {rom the settlements of the whites, it will be proper to set apart by law the territory which they are to occupy, and to provide the means necessary for removing them to it. Justice alike to ovr own citizens and to the Indians requires the ome ae of Congress on this subject. amendments proposed by the Se to the treaties which ae as with the Sioue Indians of Minnesota, have been submitted to the tribes who were parties to them, and have re- ceived their assent. A large tract of valuable ter- ritory has thus been opened for settlement and cultivation, and all danger of collision with these powerful and warlike bands has been happily re- moved. The removal of the remnant of the tribe of Seminole Indians from Florida has long been a cherished object of the Government, and it is one to which my attention has been steadily directed. Admonished by past experience of the difficulty and cost of the attempt to remove them by stil itary force, resort has been had to conciliatory measures. By the invitation of the Commission- er of Indian Affairs several of the principal chiefs recently visited Washington, and whilst here ac- knowledged in writing the obligation of their tribe to remove with the least possible delay.— Late advices from the special agent of the Goy- ernment represent that they adhere to their pro- mise, and that a council of their people has been called to make their preliminary arrangements. A general emigration may therefore be confident- ly expected at an early day. The report from the General Land Office shows increased activity in its operations. The survey of the northern boundary of Iowa has been com- pleted with unexampled despatch. Within the last year 9,522,953 acres of public land have been surveyed, and 8,032,463 acres brought into market. In the last fiscal year there were sold 1,553,071 acres. Located with bounty land warrants 8,201,314 Located with other certificates 115,682 Making a total of 4,870,067 In addition, there were— under swamp land grants 5,219,188 For internal improveme nts, rail roads &c 8,025,920 Making an aggredate of 18,115,175 Being an increase in the amount of lands sold and located under land warrants of 569,220 acres over the previous year. The whole amount thus sold, located under land warrants, reported under swamp land grants, and selected for internal improvements, exceeds that of the previous year by 3,342,372 acres; and the sales would, without ddubt, have been much larger but for the extensive reservations for railroads in Missouri, Mississippi, and Alabama. For pot juan ending 30th September, 1852, ther were 243,255 k acres, Located with bounty land warrants 1,887,116 Located with other certificates 15,649 Located under swamp land grants 2,485,233 Making an aggregate for the quarter of 4,131,258 Much the larger portion of the labor of arran- ging and classifying the returns of the last cen- sus has been finished, and it will now devolve upon Congress to make the necessary provision for the publication of the results in such form as shall be deemed best. The appointment of repre- sentation, on the basis of the new census has been made by the Secretary of the Interior in con- formity with the provisions of law relating to that subject, and the recent elections have been made in accordance with it. I commend to your favorable regard the sug- gestion contained in the report of the Secretary of the Interior that provision be made by law for the publication and distribution, periodically, of an analytical digest of all the patents which have been, or may hereafter, be granted for useful in- ventions and discoveries, with such descriptions and illustrations as may be necessary to present an intelligible view of their nature and operation. The cost of such publication could easily be de- frayed out of the patent fund, and I am persua- ded that it could be applied to no object more acceptable to inventors and beneficial to the pub- lie at large. An appropriation of $100,000 having been at the last session for the purchase of a suitable site, and for the erection, furnishing, and fitting up of an Asylum for the Insane of the District of Colombia, and of the Army and Navy of the U. States, the proper measures have been adopted to carry this beneficent purpose into effect. By the latest advices from the Mexican bound- ary Commission it appears that the survePof the river Gila, from its confluence with the Colorado to its supposed intersectionwith the western line of New Mexico, has been completed. The sur- vey of the Rio Grande has also been finished from the point agreed on by the Commissioner as “the point where it strikes the southern boundary of New Mexico” to a point one bun- dred and thirty-five miles below Eagle Pasa, which is about two-thirds of the distance along the course of the river to its mouth. The appropriation which was made at the last session of Congress for the continuation of the survey is subject to the following proviso : “ Provided, That no part of this appropriation shall be used or expended until it shall be made satisfactorily to appear to the President of the United States that the southern boundary of New Mexico is not established by the commissioner and surveyor of the United States farther north of the Town called ‘Paso’ than the same is laid down in Disturnell’s map, which is added to the treaty.” My attention was drawn to this subject by a report from the Department of the Interior, which reviewed all the facts of the case, and sub- mitted for my decision the question whether, un- der existing circumstances, any part of the ap- propriation could be lawfully used or expended for the further prosecution of the work. After a careful consideration of the subject, I eame to the conclusion that it could not, and so informed the head of that De nt. Orders were immedi- ately issued by him to the commissioner and sur- veyor to make no further requisitions on the De- partment, as they could not be paid; and to dis- continue all operations on the southern line of New Mexico. But as the Department had no exact information as to the amount of provisions and money which remained unexpended in the hands of the commissioner and surveyor it was left discreti with them to continue the sur- vey down the Rio Grande as far as the means at their disposal would enable them, or at once to disband the Commission. A special messenger has since arrived from the officer in charge of the survey on the river, with information that the funds subject to his control were exhausted, and that the officers and others employed in the ser- vice were destitute alike of the means of prose- - that part which- extends. channel of the Rio Grande. the of the law are 80 broad as to forbid the-use of: any’ part of the money for the prosecution of the worky or even for the agents of the due to them. » hoe I earnestly invite your prompt attention to this subject, and recommend a modification. of the terms of the proviso so as to enable the Departs ment to use as much of the appropriation as will It will also be r to make further is ion by law for thes Saltmment of our treaty with Mexico for running and marking the residue of the boundary line between the two countries. Permit me to invite your paticular attention to the interests of the District of Columbia, which are confided by the Constitution to your peculiar care. Among the measures whieh seem to me of the greatest importance to its prosperity are the in- troduction of a copious supply of water into the: city of Washington, and the cogstruction of suit able bridges across to Potomaclpe lace those’ which were destroyed by high r in the ear- ly part of the present year. At the last session of Congress an appropria- tion was made to defray the coast of the surveys necessary for determining the best means of affording an unfailing supply of good and whole- some water. Some progress has been made in the survey, and as soon as it is completed the re- sult will be laid before you. Further appropriations will also be necessary for grading and paving the streets and avenues, and enclosing and embellishing the public grounds within the city of Washington. I commend all the objects, together with the charitable institutions of the District, to your favorable regard. Every effort has been made to protect our frontier, and that of the adjoining Mexican States from the incursions of the Indian tribes — Of about 11,000 men of which the army is com- posed, nearly 8,000 are employed in the defence of the newly acquired territory, (including Tex- as,) and of emigrants proceeding thereto. I am gratified to say that these efforts have been unusu- ally successful. With the exception of some par- tial outbreaks in California and Oregon, and ocea- sional depredations on a portion of the Rio Grande, owing, it is believed, to the disturbed state of that border region, the iwpoads of the In- dians have been effectually restrianed. Experience has shown, however, that whenev- er the two races are brought into contact, eollis- ions will inevitably occur. To prevent these cillisions the United States have generally set apart portions of their territory for the exclusive occupation of the Indian tribes. A difficulty oc, curs, however, in the application of this policy to. Texas. By the terms of the compact by whioh that State was admitted into the Union, she re- tained the ownership of all the vacant lands with- in her limits. The government of that State, it, is understood, has assigned no portion of her ter ritory to the Indians; but as fast as her settle- ments advance lays it off into counties, and pro- ceeds to survey and sell it. This policy mani-. festly tends, not only to alarm and irritate the Indians, but to compel them to resort to plunder for subsistence. It also deprives this Government of that influence and control over them without which no durable peace can exist between them and the whites. I trust, therefore, that a due: regard for her own interests, apart from consid- erations of humanity and justice, will induce that’ State to assign a small portion of her vastdomaini for the provisional occupancy of the small rem- nants of tribes within her borders, subject’ of course to her ownership and eventual jurisdiction. It she should fail to do this the fulfilment of our treaty stipulations with Mexico, our duty to the Indians themselves, will, it is feared, beeome a: subject of serious embarrassment to the Govern- ment. It is hoped, however, that a timely and Just provision by Texas may avert this zl No appropriations for fortifications were made at the two last sessions of Congress. The cause of this omission is, probably, to be found in a growing belief that the system of fortifications adopted in 1816, and heretofore acted on, requires revision. The subject certainly deserves full and carefal investigation ; but itshould not be delayed lomg- ger than can be avoided. In the meantime there! are certain works which have been commenced: —some of them nearly completed—designed to protect our principal seaports from Boston to N. Orleans, and a few other important points. In re- gard to the necessity for these works, itis believ- ed that little difference of opionion exists am military men. I therefore recommend that the appropriations necessary to prosecute them be made. I invited your attention to the remarks on this subject, and on others connected with his Depart- ment, contained in the accompanying report of the Secretary of War. Measures have been taken to carry into effeet the law of the last session making provision for the improvement of certain rivers and harbors, and it is believed that the arrangements made for that purpose will combine efficiency with economy. Owing chiefly to the advanced sea son when the act was passed, little has yet been done in regard to many of the works beyond ma- king the necessary preparations. With respect to a few of the improvements, the sums already appropriated will suffice to complete them, but most of them will require additional wight rah tions. I trust that these appropriations will be made, and that this wise and beneficent policy 80 auspiciously resumed, will be continued. Great care aheatt be taken, however, to commence no. work which is not of sufficient importance to the commerce of the country to be viewed as nation-., al in its character. But works which have beem commenced should not be discontinued until completed, as otherwise, the suins expended will, in most cases, be lost. toa The report from the Navy Department will inform you of the prosperous condition of the, branch of the public service committed to its charge. It presents to your consideration mabya topics and suggestions of which I ask your,.ap. proval. It exbibits = preggo o dg acu ty in the operations : t the pastyear. The gia anderen for the Japan, expedition, to which I have already alluded 5 the: arran made for the exploration and s vey of the China Seas, the Northern Pacific,and.: Behring’s Straits; the nv prin measures takem, towards a reconnoisance of the continent of Affe. ca eastward of Liberia ; . will pfove an inexhaustible fund of wealth. The report.of this exploration will be co to you as soon as it is completed. , ‘other subjects offered to notice by the Secretary of the Navy, I select for commendation, in view of its connexion the interests of the navy, the submitted by him for the establishment of a permanent of seamen, and the suggestions he has ted for the In reference to the first-of these, I take occa- sion to say that I think it will greatly improve the efficiency of the service, and that I regard it as still more entitled to favor for the salutary in- fluence it must exert upon the naval discipline, now greatly disturbed by the increasing spint of insubordination resulting from our present sys- tem. The plan proposed for the organization of the seamen furnjghes a judicious substitute for the law of Sept{850, abolishing corporal pun- ishment, and ily sustains the policy of that act, under conditions well adapted to main- tain the authority of command and the order and secarity of our ships. It is believed that any whieh proposes permanently to dispense with this mode of punishment, should be prece- ded by a system of enlistment which shall supply the navy with seamen of the most meritorious class, whose good deportment and pride of char- acter may preclude all oceasion for a resort to penalties of a harsh or degrading nature. The safety of a ship and her erew is often dependent upon immediate obedience to a command, and the authority to enforce it must be equally ready. The arrest of refractory seamen, jn such moments not only deprives the ship of indispensable aid, but imposes a necessity for double service on oth- ers whase fidelity to their duties may be relied up- on in such an emergency. The exposure to this in- creased and arduous labor, since the passage of the act of 1850, has already had, to a most ob- servable and injurious extent, the effect of prevent- iag the enlistment of the best seamen in the na- vy. The plan now suggested is designed to pro- mete a condition of serviee in whieh this objec- tion will no longer exist. The details of this plan may be established in great part, if not altogeth- er, by the Executive, under the authority of ex- isting laws ; bu@I have thought it proper, in ac- cordance with the suggestion of the Secretary of the Navy, to submit it to your approval. The establishment of a corps of apprentices for the navy, or boys to be enlisted until they be- come of age, and to be employed under such re- gulations as the Navy Department may devise, a8 proposed in the report, I cordially approve commend to your consideration ; and I also coneut in the suggestion that this system for the early training of seamen may be most usefully engrafted upon the service of our merchant ma- rine. The other proposition of the report to which I have referred—the re-organization of the Naval Acad. my—I recommend to your attention as a project worthy of your encouragement and sup- The vualuable services already rendered be this institution entitle it to the continuance your fostering care. Yeur attention is respectfully called to the re- port of the Postmaster General for the detailed operation of his Department during the last fis- cal year, from aia it will be seen that the re- from for that time were less by $1,431,696 than for the preceding fiscal year: being a decreage of about 23 per cent. This diminution is attributable to the reduc- tien ig the rates of postage made by the act of March 3, 1851, which reduction took effect at the commencement of the last fiscal year. Although in its operation during the last year the act referred to has not fufilled the predictions of its friends by increasing the correspondence of the country in proportion to the reduction of pestage, I should nevertheless question the poli- cy of returning to higher rates. Experience war- rante'the expectation that as the community be- comes accustomed to cheap postage, correspon- dence will increase. 1t is believed that from this catise,; arid from the rapid growth of the country in population and business, the receipts of the nt must ultimately exceed its expenses, that the country may safely rely upon the continuance of the present cheap rate of postage. In former messages I have, among other things respectfully recommended to the consideration of the propriety and necessity of fur- ther legislation for the protection and punish- me&ht of foreign consuls residing in the United States ; to revive with certain modifications the act of 10th March 1838, to restrain unlawful mil- itary expeditions against the inhabitants of con- terminous states or territories ; for the preserva- tion and protection from mutilation or theft of the papers, records and archives of the nation ; for ising the surplus revenue to be applied to the payment of the public debt in advance of the time when it will me due; for the es- tablishment of land offices for the sale of public | lands in California and the Territory of Oregon ; for the construction of a road from the Mississi to the Pacific ocean ; for the etalon piv ment of a bureau of agriculture for the promo- tion of that interest, perhaps the most important im the country ; for the prevention of frauds upon the government in applications for pensions and lands ; for the establishment of a uniform fee bill, prescribing a specific compensation for every service required of clerks, district attorneys and marshals ; authorising an additional re- of mounted men Sie the defence of our against the Indians, and for fulfilling our stipulations with Mexico to defend her citi- zens against thé Indians ‘ with equal diligence “ees.

The consequence has been, that wbile the nations of Europe have been engaged in desolating wars, our country has pursued its peaceful course to unesampled prosperity and happiness. ‘Tbe wars in whieh we have been compelled to engage, in defence of the rights and henor of the country, have bribe or reward | been fortunately of short duration. During the terrific contest of nation against nation, which Washington to maintain ou: neutrality. other vations were drawn into this wide sweep. ing whirlpool, we sat quit and unmoved upca our own shores. While the flower of their ou merous armies was wasted by disease or perisb- ed by hundseds of thousauds upon the battle field the youth of this favored land were permitted to enjoy the blessings of peace beneath the pater- nal root. While the States of Europe incurred enormous debts, under the burden of which their suljects still groan, and which mast absorb no small part of the product of the honest indus. try of those countries for generations to come, the United States have once been enabled to ex. hibit the proud spectacle of a nation free from public debt; and if permitted to pursue our prosperous way for a few years longer in peace, we may do the same again, But it is now said by some that this policy must be changed. | Europe is no longer separated from us by a voyage of months, but steam navigatiqn has brought her within a few days’ sail of our shores. We see more of ber movements, and take a deeper interest in her controversies. Although no one proposes that we should join the fraternity of potentates who have for ages lavished the blood and treasure of their subjects in maiutaining “the balance of power,” yet it is said that we ought to inter- fere between contending sovereigns and their subjects, for the purpose of overthrowing the monarehizs of Europe and establishing in their place republican institutions. It is alledged that we have heretofore pursued a different course from a sense of our weakness, bat that now our conscious strength dictates a change of poliey, and that it is consequently our duty to mingle in these contests and aid thuse who are struggling for liberty. This is a most seductive but dangerous appeal to the generous sympathies of freemen. En— joying as we do the blessings of a free govern. ment, there is no man who has an American heart that would not rejoice to see these bless- ings extended to all other nations. We can— not witness the struggle bet ween the oppressed and the oppressor any where without the deep. ,est sympathy for the former, and the most anx. ious desire for his triumph. Nevertheless, is it prudent or is it wise to involve ourselves in these foreign wars? Is it indeed true that we have heretofore refrained from doing so merely trom the degrading motive of a conscious weak. ness? For the honor of the patrivts who have abled by the wisdom and firmness of President | While { succeeded the French revolution, we were en. | | | gone before us, I cannot admit it. Men of the revolution who drew the sword against the op. | pressions of the mother country, and pledged | to Heaven “their lives, their fortunes, and | their sacred honor” to maintain their free- dom, could never have been actuated by so un- worthy a motive. They knew no weakness or fear where right or duty pointed the way, and it is a libel upon their tair fame for us, while @e enjoy the blessings for which they so nobly ‘fought and bled, to insinuate it. The truth is that the course which they pursued was dictated by a stern sense of international justice by a statesman. like prudence and a far-seeing wisdom, looking not merely to the present ne- cessities, but the permanent salety and interest | of the country. ‘They kuew that the world is | governed less by sympathy than by reason and force ; that it was not possible for this nation | tu become a “ propagandist” of (ree principles | without arraying against it the combined pow. | ers of Europe ; and that the result was more | likely to be the overthrow of republican Jiberty | here than its establishment there. History bas beenwriten in vain for those who can doubt | this. France bad no sooner established a re. | publican form of government than she manifest. | eda desire to force its blessings on all the world. | Her own historian informs us that, hearing of | some petty acts of tyranny ina neighboring | ed that she would affurd succour and fraternity | power to give orders to the generals of the | Freneh armies to aid all citizens who might have been or should Le oppressed in the cause of liberty.” Here was the false siep whieh led to bec subsequent misfortunes. She soon found herself involved in war with all the rest of Ev- | rope. dn less than ten years here government was changed from a republic to an empire ; and finally afier shedding rivers of blood, for- eign powers restored her exiled dynasty, and exhausted Europe sought peace and repose in the unquestioned ascendeacy of monarchical principles. Let us learn wisdom from ber ex. ample, Let us remember that revolutions do not always establish freedom. Our own free institutions were aot the offspring of our Revo. lution, They existed before, They were plant. ed in the free charters of self goverameat un- der which the colonies grew up, and our Rev. olution oaly freed us from the dominion of a power. whose government was 8! a va. riasce with those institutions, But European nations have bad oo such training for a self goverament, and every effurt to.establish it by bleady revolutions has been and must, without that preparation, contiuue to be a failure.

But whatever may be the cause of this unparalleled growin in population, intelligence, and wealth, one thing is clear, that the Government must keep pace with the progress of the people. It must participate in their spirit of enterprise, and while it exacts obedience to the laws, and re— sirains ail onauthorized invasions of the rights of neighboring States, it should foster and pro- tect home industry, and lend ite powerful strength to the improvement of such means of intercommunication as are necessary lo pro- mote our internal commerce and strengthen the ties which bind us together as a people. It is not strange, however much it may be regretted, that such an exuberance of enter— prise should cause some individuals to mistake change for progress, and the invasion of the rights of otbers for national prowess and glory. The former are constantly agitating for some change in the organic law, or urging new and untried theories of human rights. ‘The latter are ever ready 19 engage in any wild crusade against a neighboring people, regardless of the justice of the enterprise, and without looking at | the fatal consequences to ourselves and to the cause of popular government. Such exspedi— lions, however, are often stimulated by merce- nary individuals, who expect to share the plun. der or profit of the enterprise without exposing themselves to danger, and are led on by some irresponsible fureigner, who abuses the hospi- tality of our own Government by seducting the young and ignorant to join in his scheme of personal ambition or revenge, under the false and delusive pretence of extending the area of freedom. These reprehensible aggressions but retard the true progress of our nation and tar. nish its fairfame. ‘They should, therelore, re- ceive tbe indignant frowns of every good citi. zen who sincerely loves bis country and takes a pride in its prosperity and honor. Our Constitution, though not perfect, is doubt. less the best that ever was formed. Therefore, let every proposition to change it be well weigh. ed, and if found beneficial, cautiously adopted. Every patriot will rejoice to see its authority so exerted as to advance the prosperty and honor of the nation, whilst he will watch with jealousy any attempt to mutilate this charter of our liberties, or pervert its powers to acts of aggression or i:justice. Thus shall conserva. tism and progress blend their harmonious ac— tion in preserving the form and spirit of the Constitution, and at the same time carry for— ward the great improvements of the country with a rapidity and evergy which freemen only can display. In closing this my last annual communica- tion, permit me, fellow citizens, to congratulate you on the prosperous condition of our beloved country.

A Rich Affair in Philadelphia.—Some time previous to the Presidential election, two young clerks in mercantile houses in Market st., Philadelphia, entered into a contract, by which if General Scott lost, the whig was to saw and split a half cord of hickory wood ih front of their boarding house in Arch street, and carry it .into the room of the other; and in the event of General Pierce’s defeat the other was to do the same—the forfeit being $20,— The defeat of General Scott threw this rather severe task upon the young whig ; and out of merciful considerations, pine wood was substituted for hickory, and the ‘splitting was dispensed with. On‘ Wed- nesday afternoon, the feat was performed according to the stiptlations, in the pres- ence of a large number of persons. The young whig entered upon the work with spirit, wearing, meanwhile, his ordinary street clothes, and a pair of kid gloves.— Occasionally his friends in the boarding house, carried out to him some refresh- ments upon a silver salver, which served to heighten the interest and increase the merriment. Before the whole of the wood was sawed, several huridred persons had collected, and upon the completion of the job, three hearty cheers were given. ensue, Leled deliee triumph over mation of Taste in Ladies’ Dresses.—The following remarks from the London Quarterly Re- view shows the writer to have a cultiva- ted taste in Ladie’s Costume, proving his competency as an arbiter in such matters.

MILLARD FILLMORE. Wasaineton, December 6, 1822. BURIED ALIVE. The Wheeling times, of last Saturday, pincipality, * The National Conventioo declar. | relates the following melancholy burial: | “An Irishman, whe had died suddenly to all nations who wished to recover their liber. | vpon the railroad, about eighteen miles. ty; and she gave it in charge to the executive | below this city, was brought here for in- terment in the Catholic burial ground, on Tuesday last. Upon taking the coffin out of the wagon, Mr. Fitzsimmons, who hap- pened to be present, complimented the cabinet maker for his skill in the manu- facture of receptacles for the dead, and then proceeded, without any ceremony, to lower the body into the grave. After. this was done they walked away, leaving the filling up to a subordinate, who, after throwing in afew shovels full of earth, was alarmed by a singular noise, ag of kicking and struggling in the.coffin, so that he ran away. Coming up with . Mr. Fitzsimmons, he told what be had beard, and both immediately returned, raised and opened the coffin, and found the man tarned and his warm. ‘Thej bility ‘is that ifthe coffin had been opened when the commotion was first heard, the mati might ave been saved, and that fie died from Suffocation, “This is no fish sto- ry, but an absolute fact, aod cag be estab- lished by the testimoy of eye- Wit | | I claim only to have discharged them | aypoined by the wearer. | nesses.” | P the bappy Constitution and Government which | and should anything etd & out which is not intended to be seen, it is quite as much or gilt but- | tons, or twisted cordings.

FREE SUFFRAGE KILLED. The Free Sofftage Bill ie dead... After hav- ing passed the House of Commons, it fell into the Senate on Tuesday, the 3h ult, but wa’ resusitated, on the motion of Mr. Hoke, who voted in the negative to obtain the right, which he exercised, to move. a reconsideration. It was again laid out, in the Senate, on Friday, the third instant, by the refusal of Mr. Speaker Edwards to give it his vote. Alas! poor Yor- ick! who would have thought, afier all the va- poring of the Standard about the responsthility of the Whigs, and the ‘seven thunders uttering their voices,’ that this measure would owe ils death to the vote ot a Democratic Speaker, and that the Democratic party itself would become accessory to, and responsible for its defeat !— Yet such isthe fact. ‘They knew the Hon. W. N. Edwards, as sound, able, patriotic and hon- est a Democrat as any that can be found in*the State, was opposed to the free suffrage bill ; they knew he was elected, in as decideda De- mocratic county as any in the State, upon that issue; they knew the fate of that measure might be decided by the Presiding officer of either branch of the Legislature ; they knew it would be a close vote, and such would probably be the case: and yet, in view of all this, they unani- mously elected Mr. Edwards President of the Senate! We hope, after this, the Standard will thunder no more inflated denunciations against the Whig party, or that portion of it opposed to free suffrage.—Raleigh Star. THE LEGISLATURE. It will be seen that the Free Suffrage bill was lost in the Senate, on Friday last. The vote stood 3310, 15; and the Speaker, Mr. Ed. wards, having declined voting for the bill, it failed by one vote only. The decision of the Senate finally disposes of that bill. We con. tent ourselves with this announcement for the present. Mr. Hill, of Caswell, introduced, in the House of Commons, on the afiernoon of Friday, anoth. er Free Suffrage bill, differing {rom the one re. jected in a slight particular ; he has left out the preamble which accompanied the other- This bill will require a vote of three fifths to pass it the present session, and will have to pass an— other Legislature by two-thirds. | The engrossed bill to give the election of | Clerks and Masters in Equity to the people was | indefinilely postponed in the Senate on the same day; and the billto incorporate the Bank of | Roanoke, at Plymouth was rejected, on Satur. | day, on its second reading. | Iu the House of Commons, a great many bills were introduced on Friday, it having been the first opportunity for several weeks that members | The supplemental bill to complete the organe ization of the county of Jacksun has passed its (bird reading, and been sent to the Senate.

The time of both Houses was mainly occupied in counting out and.com. paring the votes for Governor, at the recent Gu- bernatorial Election, though several items of important legislation were under consideration. In the Senate, the bill respecting the Supreme Court, introduced by Mr. Bynum—-providing for the division of the State into ten judicial Districts, assigning to the three additional Dis- \ri¢ts the present Judges of the Supreme Court, fur abolishing all the jurisdiction now possess. ed by those Jnges, and conferring the same upon the ten Judges of the Superior Courts ; said Tribunal to be styled the Supreme Court of N. C.—was debated by ihe mover. Mr. B. had not concluded his remarks, at the time of ad- journment. . In the House, the Bill for the relief of the Cape Fear and Deep River Navigation Com- pany, we are glad to say, passed its third read. ing, and, under a suspension of the rule, was sent io the.

Our people seem to be inspir- ed with new life ‘and new energies, amounting almost to intoxication. The wildest and most extravagant dreams of those who prophesied five years ago upon this subject are now about to be realized. But in order to continue this state of things and to ensure a glorious fatare to our town and her inhabitants much, very much depends upon the policy which is to be pursued by oor capitalists and property holders. If they confine the circulation of their capital to channels which are be- yond the reach of our active, thrifty and enterprising, bat indigent, young men; or hold their property at a rate too high to be purchased by steady and industrious mechanics, they may greatly darken, or even eventually destroy the happy pros- pects which now adorns the horizon of our future. It is to the young and enter- prising portion of the community that we are to look to keep the ball in motion.— The older citizens have done well in their day and generation. But they have be. come measurably superanuated, and their energies greatly exbausted. They can- the age, like those who have their for- tunes emblazoned upon the brow of the future.

THE ONE MAN POWER THREAT- ENED. Messrs. Avery, Strange, and other locoloco leaders in the House of Commons, during the debate on the Land Resolutions, announced that ‘Genera! Pierce would certainly veto a bill to distribute the proceeds of the Public Lands amongst the States—that be was pledg- ed to do so.” Is the legislation of Congress to be thus forestalled? Were the people of the State told of this by these leaders in_the late campaign? Were they apprized of this pledge of Gen. Pierce to shut the door against us when applying for our just rights? What do those who voted for the Land Resolutions think of thie pledge to lend a deaf ear to their just de. mands on the Government? When, since the days of the Stuarts, would a King of England have made such an announcement to the Par- liament? Let not the friends of distribution be intimidated by duch threats. If he does velo such a bill, locofocoism will have its death blow in this State ?—Raleigh Register. The Charleston Courier, is publishing the details of the recent fatal accident on the South Carolina railroad, by the falling of a culvert, notes the following incident : “A most thrilling scene occurred imme- diately after the break down. A child’s voice was heard calling from the bottom of the cars, which had fallen in, “ Pa! Pa!” It was covered up with broken plank and the trunks of sixty or seventy passengers. It was the child of the Rev. Mr. Pringle, an Episcopal Clergyman, who, in great agony, was wringing his hands, exclaiming, “ My poor baby !” and supplicating the Almighty to save his child; and bis supplications were heard ; for, after a halt hour’s hard work, his baby was miraculously saved, with scarce- ly a scratch upon it. Mr. Muldrow, who was also in the same car, escaped unin- jured, and Mr. Henry B. DeLorme only had bis leg a little braised.” ~~ HORRID MURDER.

AN IMPORTANT DISCOVERY. A scientific correspodent of the New York Courier has made an important dis- covery in voltaic electricity, which ma be practically applied to the cure of ive, nerves. It is this: “If a cylindrical piece of zinc is placed near the top of a broom handle, and an. other about fifteen inches below, connec- tion being made between the two by means of a wire, a person taking hold of | the top piece with the right hand, while the left is placed on the copper or lower | piece, forms a voltaic circle, which be- comes powerful the more the broom is used. The hands must be witbout gloves, so that the metals are in contact, and the windows of the room should be open when the broom is used, so as to admit the air freely. The discovery is invaluable to females in a weak state, for want of ac- | tive life, and for males it can be applied to axe handles.” UBUIRTPURISs. - A babe in a house is like a well-spring of pleasure ; messenger of peace and love ; Yet it is atalentoftrust,aloan to be rendered backwith interest.”” OOO BGRN _ Dec. 9—A son to J.

The making of a hundred thousand weights of the wool leaves a mass of fuel equal in value to sixty cubic yards of pine wood. We have been thas particular in de- scribing this process, to which the men- tion of the successful experiment of Jas. Malcolm, Esq., has called our attenion, with the view that some of our planters may be induced to give it atrial in the extensive pine regions of our State, and thus lead to a new development of our in- dustrial resources. The College.—The Spartanburg Spar- tan says: “Is the South Carolina CAllege there is a serious rupture in the good feelings which ought to prevail there. The stu- dents object to the steward’s hall or bur. sary department, as injurious to their health, from the quality of provisions they are made to eat, and the disgusting tnan.- ner in which they are compelled to take their food, besides the heavy expenses they are forced to incur, by resorting to the hotels to obtain a more wholesome and better diet. The students have peti- tioned the trustees to abolish the bursary system, and allow them to board at pri- vate houses. They have frequently peti- tioned for this privilege but withoat suc- cess. Many of them have now bound themselves to each other by a pledge, to leave the college, unles the privilege they ask be granted to them. The Trustees, we learn, are favorable to granting the petition of the students, but think it un- wise to do so, unless they withdraw from the pledge to leave the college if their pe- tition be not granted ; the Trustees think- ing it wauld be wrong to comply with their request, under the influence of a threat. Ibreat or no threat—the petition should be granted, the same petition having been presented many times before. To crowd two hundred youths together at one table, year after year, without the restraints of a parental or domestic supervision of a home, must, be injurious to their morals and repugnant to all the finer feelings of well-trained minds.” FRANKLIN INSTITUTE. We regret to learn that the building of the Franklin Institute, at Cedar Rock, Franklin County, has been destroyed by fire. The loss is some fifteen hundred dollars, and no insurance. We are gratified to learn that this mis- fortune bas not interrupted the progress of the School. New buildings are to be erect- ed, and in the meantime Mr. Richardson will prosecute his labors inthe old Acade- my building.

Resistinc THE Fucitive Law.—A bill has passed through committee of the whole of the Ohio house of delegates, to protect the rights of persons claimed as fugitive slaves. Its provisions are some- what similar to the famous Vermont law.

From the man- ifestations, it is doubtful whether such a bill can finally pass.—Baltimore Sun. EDUCATION OF TEACHERS. There is a bill before the Legislature, providing for the edacation of Common School Teachers. It provides that the State shall pay for the tuition of 27 indi- gent young men in each of the following institutions, to wit ; Wake Forest, Normal and Davidson Colleges—one such young man to be selected from each county, by the Board of Superintendents of Common Schools, and shall give a pledge to teach one year in the State.

In the name of the Most Holy Trinity. Commercial intercourse having been for some time established between the United States and the Republic of Costarica, it seems good for the security as well as the encouragement of such commercial intercourse, and for the maintenance of understanding between the United States and the said Republic, that the relations now subsisting between them should be regularly ac- knowledged and confirmed by the signature of a treaty of amity, commerce, and navigation. For this purpose they have named their respective Pienipotentiaries, that is to say : The President of the United States, Daniel Webster, Secretary of State: And his Excellency the President of the oy era of Costarica, Sencr Don Felipe Molina, Envoy Extraor- dinary and Minister Plenipotentiary of that Republic to the United States: Who, after having communicated to each other their full powers, found to be in due and proper form, have a- greed upon end concluded the following articles : Articte I. There shall be perpetual amity between the United States and their citizens on the one part, and the government of the Republic of Costarica and its citizens on the other. Articie II. There shall be, between all the terri- tories of the United States and the territories of the Re- eg of Costarica, a reciprocal freedom of commerce. e subjects and cit'zens of the two countries, respec- tively, shall have liberty, freely and securely, to come with their ships and cargoes to all places, ports, and riv- ers, in the territories aforesaid, to which other foreigners are or may be permitted to come ; to enter into the same, and to remain and reside in any part thereof, re- spectively ; also ‘o hire and occupy houses and ware- houses for the purposes of their commerce ; and, gene- rally, the merchants and traders of each nation, re- spectively, shall enjoy the most complete protection and secnrity for their commerce ; subject, always, to the laws and statutes of the two countries respectively. In like manner, the respective ships of war and post- office packets of the two countries shall have liberty, freely and securely, to come to all harbors, rivers, and places to which other foreign ships of war and packets are, or may be permitted to come, to enter into the same, to anchor, and to remain there and refit ; subject, always, to the laws and statutes of the two countries respectively. By the right of entering the places, ports, and rivers mentioned iu this article, the privilege of carrying on the coasting trade is not understood ; in which trade, national vessels only of the coantry where the trade is carried on are permitted to engage. Arricte III. It being the intention of the two high contracting parties to bind themselves, by the preceding articles, to treat each other on the footing of the most favored nation, it is hereby agreed between them, that any favor, privilege, or immunity whatever, in matters of commerce and navigation, which either contracting party has actually granted, or may hereafter grant to the subjects or citizens of any other State, shall be ex- tended to the subjects or citizens of the other high con- tracting party gratuitously, if the concession in favor of that other nation shall have been gratuitous; or, in re- turn for a compensation as nearly as possible of propor- tionate value and effect, to be adjusted by mutual agree- ment, if the concessions shall have been conditional. Articte IV. No higher nor other duties shail be imposed on the importation into the territories of the United States, of any article being of the growth, pro- duce, or manufacture of the Republic of Costarica, and no higher nor other duties shall be imposed on the im- portation into the territories of the Republic of Costarica, of any articles being the growth, produce, or manufac- ture of the territories of the United States, than are or shall be payable on the like articles, being the growth, | produce, or manufacture of any other foreign country ; | nor shall any other or higher duties or charges be im- | posed in the territories of either of parties, on the exportation of any tories of the other, than such as on the exportation of the like articles to any other foreign country ; nor shall any prohibition be imposed upon the exportation or importation of any articles, the growth, produce, or manufacture of the territories of the United articles to the terri- States, or of the Republic of Costarica, to or from the | said territories of the United States, or to or from the Republic of Costarica, which shall not equally extend to all other nations. Articte V. No higher nor other duties or payments on account of tonnage, of light, or harbor dues, of pi- lotage, of salvage, in case either of damage or ship- wreck, or on account of any other local charges, shall be imposed in any of the ports of the Republic of Cos- tarica, on vessels of the United States, than those pay- able in the same ports by Costarican vessels ; nor in any of the ports of the United States, on Costancan vessels than shall be payable in the same ports on vessels of the United States. ; Articte VI. The same duties shall be paid on the importation into the territories of the Republic of Cos-— tarica, of any article being of the growth, produce, or manufacture of the territories of the United ‘States, whether such importation shall be made in Costarican, or in vessels of the United States ; and the same duties shail be paid on the importation into the territories of the United States of any article, being the growth, produce, or manufacture of the Republic of Costarica, whether such importation shall be made in United States or in Costarican vessels. ; The same duties shall be paid, and the same boanties and drawbacks allowed, on the exportation to the Re- public of Costarica, of any articles being the growth, produce, or manufacture of the territories of the United States, whether such exportations shall tarican or in United States vessels ; and the same du- ties shall be paid, and the same boanties and drawbacks allowed on the exportation of any articles, being the growth, ce, or manufacture of te Republic of Cos- 1 or territories of the United States, whether such exportation shall be made io United States or in Articte VIL.

X. It shall be free for each of the two high contracting parties to appoint consuls for the pro- tection of trade, to reside in any of the territories of the other party ; bat before any consul shall act as such, he shall, in the usual form, be and admitted by the government to which he is sent ; and either of the high contracting parties may except from the residence of consuls such parti places as they judge fit to be excepted. The Costarican diplomatic agents and consuls shall enjoy in the territories of the United States, what- ever privileges, exemptions, and immunities are or shall be granted to agents of the same rank belonging to the most favored nation ; and in Jike manner the diplomat- ic agents and consuls of the United States in the Cos- tarican territories, shall enjoy according to the strictest reciprocity whatever lee exemptions and immu- nities are or may be granted in the republic of Costari- ca to the diplomatic agents and consuls of the most fa- vored nation. Articte XI. For the better security of commerce between the citizens of the United States and the citi- zens of the Republic of Costarica, it is agreed, that if at any time any interruption of friendly intercourse, or any rupture should unfortunately take place between the two high contracting parties, the citizens of either of the two high contracting parties who may be within any of the territories of the other, shall, if residing up- on the coast, be allowded six months, and if in the inte- rior, a whole year to wind up their accounts and dispose of their rity; and a safe conduct shall be given them to embark at the port which they themselves shall select ; and even in the event of a rupture, all such cit- izens of either of the two high contracting parties who are established iu any of the territories of the other, in the exercise of any trade or special employment, spall have the privilege of remaining and of continuing such trade or employment therein without any manner of in- trruption, ia the full enjoyment of their liberty and property as long as they behave peaceably, and commit no offence against the laws ; and their goods and effects of whatever deseription they may be, whether in their own custody or intrusted to individuals er to the State, shal! not be liable to seizure or sequestration, nor to any other charges or demands than those which may be made upon the like effects or property belonging to the native citizens of the country in which such citizens may reside.

Articte XXVI. And whereas it frequently happens that vessels sail for a port or place belonging to an ene- my without knowing that the same is besieged, block- aded, or invested, it is agreed that every vessel so cir- cumstanced may be turned away from such port or place, but shall not be dejained, nor shal! any part of her car- if not contralffid, be confiscated, unless, after hav- been warned @ such blockade or investment by a commanding offictr of a vessel furming part of the tloekading forces, she again attempt to enter; but she shall be permitted to go to any other port or place the mastet or sopercargo may think proper.

And if any vessel having thus entered the portbefure the blockade took place shall take on baord a cargo »fter the biockade be established, and attempt to depart, she may be warned by the blockad- ing forces to return to the blockaded port, and discharge the said cargo; and if, after receiving such warning, the vessel shall persist in going out with the curgo, she shal] be liable to the satne consequences asin the cuse of a vesse| attempting to enter u blockaded port after having been warned off by the blockading forces. Aaticte XXVII. To prevent disorder and irregu- farity in visiting and examining the vessels and cargoes of both the contracting parties on the high seas, they have agreed, mutually, that whenever a vessel of war, public or private, shall meet with a neutral of the other party, the former shal] remain at the greatest distance compatible with the pussibiliiy and sufety of making the visit, under the circumstances of wind and sea and the degree of suspicion attending the vessel to be visited, and shall send one of her smai| boats with no more men than may be necessury to execute the said examination of the papers concerning the ownership and cargo of the ves- sel, without ape Se the Jeast extortion, violence, or ill- treatment, in respect of which the commanders of said armed vessels shal! be responsible with their persons and property ; for which purpose the commanders of said private armed vessel shall, befure receiving their com- missions, give sufficient security to answer for all the in- jeries and damages they may commit.

It is also agreed that such vessel, besides the said sea-letters, patents, or passports, shall be provided with manifests or | certificates, containing the particulars of the cargo and | the place where it was taken on board, so that it may be known whether any part of the same consists of con- traband or prohibited articles: which certificate shall be made out in the accustomed form by the authorities of the whence the vessel sailed ; without which re- quisites the vessel may be detained, to be adjudged, by the competent tribunals, and may be declared good and legal prize, unless it shall be proved that the said defect or omission was owing to accident, or unless it shall be satisfied or supplied by testimony equivalent in the opin- ion of the said tribunals,for which purpose there shall be allowed a reasonable Jength of time to procure and pre- sent it. Articte XXIX. The preceding stipulations relative to the visit and examination of vessels, shall apply only to those which sail without convoy ; for when said ves- sels ehal! be under convoy, the verbal declaration of the commander of the convoy, on ‘his word of honor, that the vessels under his protection belong to the nation whose flag they carry, and, when they are bound to an enemy’s port, that they have no contraband goods on | board, shall be sufficient Arricte XXX. It is further agreed that in all prize cases, the court specially established for such causes in the country to which the prizes may be conducted shall | alone take tognizance of them. And whenever such eourts of either party shall pronounce judgment against any vessel, merchandise, or property claimed by the cit- fzens of the other party, the sentence or decree shall set forth the reasons or motives on which the same shall have been fonnded ; and an authenticated copy of the sentence or decree, and of all the proceedings connected with the case, shall, if demanded, be delivered to the commander or agent of the suid vessel, merchandise, or property, without any excuse or delay, upon payment of the established legal fees for the same.

To get rid of the enormous expense of maintaigiog ae atmy for the protection of our fecious acquisition of New Mexico, the Secretary of War seriously proposes to induce the white inhabitants to aban- don the worthless country. To buy them off, will be cheaper than to defend them. The report of the Secretary of the In- terior describes to us the vast and exten- sive field of the operations of that depart- ment. The operations of this federal gov- as they were in theory. The subjects of public lands, of territories, of surveys, of patents, of the census, of pensions, of pub- lic grounds and buildings, create a vast amount of Executive power and patron- age. Among the measures recommended by the Secretary of the Interior, is the great one of a road, through our own Territory to the Pacific. One of his minor mea- sures is the provision of houses, with fur- niture, light, and fuel, for the heads of De- partments, and the Vice President. This measure is called for, as a necessary al- ternative to an increase of the salary of the officers indicated. A man of moder- | ate fortune cannot, without much embar. | thousand dollars, in the manner a Secre- | tary is obliged to live. lt is believed that we hold California ‘or the purpose of more ef-| by a feeble tenure, and that after awhile, | the golden region will slip away from our nominal control.

Tue Pine Lanp Country.—Circumstan- ces, among which stand most prominently our Plank Road improvements, have open- \ed the eyes of the public to the immense | value of our pine forests and sandy lands. | There are a few among us who have long entertained a propor idea of their value, (among whom we may name the Hon. Robert Strange ;) bat with the public gen- eraly they have been so little appreciated , that within our knowledge any number of thousands of acres have been sold at from one cent to twenty-five cents an acre.— Now, some of the same lands bring from _ one to five dollarsan acre. Indeed we have ‘heard of a sale that exceeds even this.— A large body of pine land was sold for taxes, some years ago. and brought three dollars and a half. The same property has been sold within a few days, without any improvement whatever, for Eight Thousand Dollars! There can be no question, that within the last three years the lands along the line of the Fayetteville and Western Plank Road in this county. (we cannot speak so confidently as to other counties.) have ri- sen in value for more than the cost of that road through the county. Aud this is no speculative rise, but is forced upon the public in spite of prejudices, by the intrin- sic value of the productions of those lands. Tbe country, for sixty miles, has been thrown open to the production of various articles which previously could not be’ brought to market. We may instance Turpentine, which is too heavy for trans _ portation long distances over bad roads.— But opon the Plank Road a number of Distilleries have been put up, and one is now going up serty miles from this place. | When the immense profit of the turpen- line business is considered, we may well felicitate the country on a work which has opened at least fifty of those sixty miles to its production. In addition to the rise of land being suf- ficient to pay the cost of the road, we might reler tothe increase of basiness, to the consequent occupation of every | dwelling, and store, and shop, and to the _manifest improvement in the price of real ‘estate, in this town. These advantages | in the Road, even if the stock were worth- | less. But so far from that, it is a good 6 | or 8 per cent. stock, and worth its cost in | the market. It is not here only that such effects are |prodaced. We conversed a few days ago with a gentleman who visited Charlotte, N. C., twice recently,—once a week be- fore the South Carolina rail road was | opened to that place, and once three weeks | afterwards. He says it was not the same place atall. Where every thing looked dull and inanimate on his first visit, all was bustle and activity on bis second.— The streets were full of wagons, with abundance of produce; every place of business was occupied. Bat it was not in town only that the change was visible.— In the country around, a few years ago, almost every body was ready to sell land for little or nothing, and scarcely anybo- dy wanted to bay. Now lands are in de- mand, at anheard of prices for that see- tion of the State.

We refer our readers to our Legislative columns for the proceedings of this body from Friday to Monday, inclusive. On monday last Calvin H. Wiley, Esq., one of the commoners from Guildford, was elected Superintendent of Common | Schools. On the same day Daniel W. Courts, Esq., was re-elected Treasurer by a hand- some majority. Mr. Courts has made one of the very best Treasurers the State | has ever had; and his re-election, especi- ally under the circumstances, is a most | flattering testimonial on the part of the | Assembly to his superior merits as a pub- lic officer. The Whigs generally voted | for R. G. A. Love, Esq., the commoner | trom Hay wood. | The two Houses have rescinded the | joint agreement toadjourn to-day, the 15th, /and have agreed to adjourn on Wednes- next, the 22d. It is possible but not prob- able that they will be able to get through _by that time. No final action has yet been had upon the Senatorial or Congres- sional Districts, or upon the apportionment of the Commons; and besides there are | three Solicitors, a Superior Court Judge, seven Councilors of State, four Trustees of the University, and an Attorney Gener- al to elect, to say nothing of the Senator. | No vote has been taken since our last for Senator. The contest, will, in all prob- ability, be brought to a close during the present week.— Raleigh Standard. THE LEGISLATURE. The bill to incorporate the Atlantic and North Carolina Rail Road Company has been killed in the Senate, ‘The vote on its passage being 22 tur and 25 against. regret this. It delays for two or more years the commencement of a work, upon the comple tion ot which, as all admit, depends the com. rerean! greatness and prosperity of North Car. ona, The bill making an appropriation for the com. pletion of the work on Cape Fear and Deep Rivers has passed its 2d reading. In the House, the resolutions introduced by Mr. Leach, of Davidson, declaring against In. lervention, have passed by a vote of 60 to 8. The proceedings of Tuesday will show the de. | termined opposition which they met with from some of the locofoco leaders. The Judiciary Bill has been indefinitely post. poned, for the want of time, we believe, to con. consider it. William N. H. Smith, Esq., has been re. |elected solicitor in the first Judicia! Circuit, and Mr. W. L. Steele, the Senator from Rich. mond and Robeson, has been elected a Trus. | tee of the University, to fill one of the four Va- | cancies in the Board. | P. S.—Thorsday’s Proceedings necessarily | omitted, as usual. In the Senate, the Bill for | the reliet of the Cape Fear and Deep River | Navigation Company passed its third reading, | and is, therefore, a law. In the House, a bil! { to divide the State into eight Judicial Circuits, | and to provide for the election of another Judge | and another Solicitor, was defeated. Another ineffeciual balloting was had tor Senator. The number of votes cast was 160— | necessary to a choice 81. Mr. Dobbin receiv. | ed 75; Mr. Rayner 73; scatiering 12. All the Whigs voted for Mr. Rayner, with the ex. | ception of Messrs.

A publication of all that bas been said on this subject, though itteresting, would prove unacceptable tothe reader, espe- cially since the bill has been defeated. But we find in the proceedings of the Senate of the 13th instatit, the following speech by our Senator Mr. Lrzntncron, which is not only very cred- itable to him, as showing bis ability and strength asa debater, and his watchfulness of the intereste'of his constituents, but as contain. ing matter which claims the attention of this community : Mr. Lillington said he was friendly, both to the original bill and the amendment of the Sen. ator from Lincoln, which together: provide for the extension of the Central Rail Road East to Beaufort, and West to the Tennessee line.— The only question with him was one of time. Is the State now ready to complete the’ great scheme of Improvement devised at the Session of 1848 ?—Is her condition such as to justify her in investing some two millions and a half more, in the proposed extension, East and West, of her Central Road? Hrs mind in- clined him to the opinion that she was, and if these two bills stood alone, each upon his own merits, as they were originally drawn, he thought he should support them both. But, Sir, continued Mr. L., | agree with the Senator from Craven, that should this amendment be adopted, and these two bills, drawn without re. ilar in their details, incorporating two separate and distinct companies, standing in separate and distinct relation to the State and her in. vestments in each, then the bill as amended would be, and ought to be, voted down. [t would, if passed. be a dead letter upon your statute book.* The bill before us, extending the road to Beaufort, is an engrossed bill from the House of Commons. The amendment propos. ed by the Senator from Lincoln, is the bill en. titled the North Carolina and Tennessee Rail Road Bill, which has been lying on our table for several weeks. But it comes before us now, Sir, not in its original form. section, you will find upon reference to the printed bill has been materially altered. [t reads thus—* That, for the purpose of effecting a Rail Road communication between the North Carolina Railroad, at the town of Salisbury, and the town of Knoxville, Tennessee, the for- mation of a corporate company,” &c., &¢.— The words, “ at the town of Salisbury,” have been stricken out by the Senator from Lincoln, acting in concert, I understand, with the Sena. tor from Mecklenburg. Again, in the second section which reads, ‘commencing at a point upon the North Carolina railroad, at or near the town of Salisbury, in the County of Row. an,” &c., the words “at or near the town of Salisbury, in the County of Rowan,” have also been stricken out. Now, Sir, why hasthis erasure been made? Ifit be merely for the purpose of leaving the pre. cise point of juncture open,to be ascertained here afier by actual survey, then it is wholly unne. | cegsary, for it is well known, especially to the | Senator from Lincoln, that Salisbury is a cen. (ral point, about midway between the S. Caro. lina and Virginia lines, and that at that point the Central road deflects towards South Caroli. na, and runs due South, (at any rate but a Jitle West of South,) to Charlotte. Of this any Se. nator may satisfy himself by looking at the map. Then, ifthis is to continue to be a con. | tral road, the extension West must necessarily commence at or near the town of Salisbury.— | But if, as I suspect, the design is to change the | whole character of the work and establish the eastern terminus of the Western extension at the town of Chaclotte, near the Southern bor— | der of our State, within 13 miles of the South | Carolina line, let the title of the bill be chang- | ed—label it no longer falsely the North Caro. |lina and Tennessee Rail Road bill—tet it be | called, as it really would be, the South Caroli. na Rai! Road biil. Is it not known to every | Senator here, that all our Western trade, which | we have been struggling so long and so anx. _lously to secure to our own ports, to build up our own marts, and to elevate the commercial! Character of our own State, will inevitably go to Charleston if this connection is made as far | South as Charlotte? How much ot the trade, Sir, of the County of Mecklenburg will pass over our present road to our own ports ? one sliver. Are we then prepared {o vote away two millions more to drain off our trade and resources into another State? To invest to add one dollar to the value of the stock of our central road—but on the contrary to reduce it interest forbids it, Senate is not so destitute of State pride as to | stand quietly by and see every scheme of im. | Provement devised for the benefit of the people | of North Carolina, to develope her resources and to elevate her character, enure to the ben. efit of neighboring States ! Mr. Caldwell rose to explain. The Sena— tor from Rowan speaks of patriotism, but his | patriotism seems to be confined to but one Jo. cality, to that section of country lying near the town of Salisbury. His spirit of improvement would seem to stopthere. How does it affect the success of this great work whether the ex. tension should commence at any one particular point,—whether it should connect at Salisbury or Charlotte or any other place? Does not that Senator know that you cannot coerce trade —that it is governed by ils own laws, that do what you will it will seek the best markets and will go where the greatest inducements are held out to it? Mr. Lillington. I gave way, Sir, for an ex- planation. But the explanation of the Senator Comes in so questionable a shape that it losee, to my apprehension, all claim whatever to the term. It is no explanation at all. Sir, | make no professions of patriotism. [came not here to indulge in self commendation for the posses. sion of that or any other virtue.

On the night of the 2d instant, a fire broke out in Sacramento City, and in less than hours forty blocks—about two hundred buildin ashes! _ The wind was blowing very bard at the time the fire commenced, and the rapidity and cracking with which the flames spread, and the blowing up of houses, is represented to have been awtul and terrific in the extreme. Men, women and children were running to and fro in the greatest confusion, excited almost to fren. zy in bebalf of their lives and property. Full nine-tenths of the city of Sacramento have thus been swept into oblivion, and it is estimaied that ten millions of dollars would hardly repair the damages. Happening at this season of the year, just as the rains are selling in, it is peculiarly distressing and lamentable, as by it thousands have been deprived of both shelier and the means of a comfortable living— especially as at this time provisions are com. paratively scarce in market, and selling at such famishingly bigh prices, flour being forty-two dollars per barrel, pork fifty-five dollars per barrel, &c., &e.

Scovi & Msav—Gentlemen: The Hebrew Plaster is becoming popular in this section. There is a lady in this county who says she would not be with- out this Plaster for five hundred dollars a year. She was afflicted for some time with an enlargement of the spleen, which gave her @ great deal of pain. The swel- ling and pain bad extended up nearly to the armpit, and occasionally she could scarcely breathe. She was confined for a considerable time, during which she was aitended by some of our best physicians, but they gave her no relief. © She procured a box of tne Hebrew Plas- ter, and it relieved her almost immediately, and son she keeps a supply of it on hand oncstantly. These facts you are at liberty to use as yon think proper— they are substantially true. Respectfully yours, &c., JESSE J. WELLS. (7 Beware of Counterfeits and Base imitations!

A remarkable circumstance is related by Mrs. Catharine Crowe, in the “ Night side of Nature,” as having occurre Odessa, in 1842. Anold blind man ed Michael, bad for many years been ac- customed to get his living by seating him- self every morning on a beam in one of the timber yards, with a wooden bowl at his feet, into which the passengers cast their alms. This long continued practice had made him well known to the inhabi- tants, and as he was believed to bave been a soldier, his blindness was attriba- ted to the wounds he had received in bat- tle. For bis own part he spoke little, and never contradicted this opinion. night Michael, by some accident fell in with a little girl named Pawleska, who was friendless, and on the verge of per- ishing with cold and hunger. The old man took her home and adopted her, and from that time instead of sitting in the timber yard, he went aboat the streets in her company, asking alms at the doors of houses. The child called him father and they were extremely happy together. But when they had pursued this mode of life for five years, a theft having been committed in a house they had visited in the morning, Pawleska was suspected and arrested, and the blind man was left once more alone. Bat, instead of resum- ing his former habits, he now disappeared altogether, and this eircamstance causing suspicion to extend to him, the girl was brought before the magistrate tobe inter- rogated with regard to his probable place of concealment. ‘Do you know where Michael is?" in- quired the magistrate. ‘He is dead! replied she, shedding a torrent of tears. As the girl had been shat op for three days, without any means of obtaining in- formation from without, this answer, to- gether with her unfeigned distress, natar- ally excited considerable surprise. * Who told you that he was dead ?” they inquired. * Nobody.’ ‘ Then how can you know it ?” *T saw him killed.’ ‘Bat you have never been out of prison. ‘ But I saw it nevertheless ?” * But how was that possible 7’ what you mean.’ ‘I cannot. All] can say is, I saw him killed.’ * When was he killed, and how?’ *It was the night I was arrested.’ ‘That cannot be; he was alive when you were seized. Yes, he was; he was killed one hour after that; they stabbed hitn with a knife. ‘ Where were you then ?” ‘T can’t tell, but I saw it.’ The confidetce with which the girl as- serted what seemed to ber hearers ijmpos- sible and absurd, disposed them to ima— gine that she was really insane, or pre- tended to be so; so leaving Michael aside, they proceeded to interrogate her about the robbery, asking her if she was guilty. ‘O, no!" she answered. ‘Then how came the property to be found about you. ‘I don’t know; I saw nothing but the murder.’ ‘ But there is no ground for supposing Michael is dead ; bis body has not as yet been found.’ ‘It is in the aqueduct.’ ‘ And do you know who slew him 7” ‘ Yes; it was a woman. Michael was walking very slowly, after 1 was taken from him. A woman came bebind him with a large kitchen knife: but be heard her and tarned around, and then the wo man flung a piece of gray stuff over his head, and struck him repeatedly with a knife. The gray stuff was much stained with blood. Michael fell at the eighth blow, and the woman dragged the body to the aqueduct, and let it fall in without even lifting the staff that stuck to his face.’ As it was very easy to verify these latter assertions, they dispatched people to the spot, and there the body was found, witb a piece of stuff over his bead, exactly as she had described. But when they had asked her how she knew all this, she could only answer, ‘I don’t know.’ — “Bat you know who killed him? ‘Not exactly; it is the same woman that pat oot his eyes; but perhaps he will tell me her name to-night, and if he does I will tell you. ‘Who do you mean by he?” ‘Why, Michael, to be sure.” Daring the whole of the following night, without allowing her to suspect their in— tention, they watched her ; and it was ob- served she never lay down, but sat 7 te her bed in a sort of lethargic slumber. Her body was quite motionless, except at inter- vals, when this repose was interrupted by nervous shocks, which pervaded her whole frame. On the ensuing day, the moment she was brought before the Jadge she declar- ed that she was now able totell the name the assassin. . a But stay,’ said the magistrate ; ‘did he never tell you when he was alive how he Explain lost his sight?” One | *No; bat the mérning before I was ‘ar rested he promised me to do so; and that caused his death.’ * How could that be?’ ‘ Last night Michael came to me, and pointed to the man hidden behind the scaf. fold on which he and I had been sitting. He showed me the man listening to us, when he'said, ‘I'll tell all about that to- n'ght ; and the man—’ ‘Do you know the name of this man?’ ‘It is Luck; he went afterwards to a broad street that leads down to the harbor, and he entered the third house on the right.’ * What is the name of the street ” ‘I don’t know; but the house is one sto- ry lower than the adjoining ones. Lack told Catherine what he had heard, and she proposed to assassinate Michael, bat he refused, saying, ‘that it was bad | enough to have burned out his eyes filteea | years ago, while he was asleep at your | door, and to have kidnapped him into the jcountry.” Then I went to ask charity, but Catherine put a piece of plate into my pocket, that I might be arrested; then she hid herself behind the aqueduct to wait for Michael, and she killed him. ‘Bat sioce you say all this, why did you keep the plate? Why did’nt you give in- formation ?” ‘Bat! did not seo it then. showed it to me last night. * Bat what should induce Catherine to do this?” * Michael was her husband and she had forsaken him to come to Odessa to marry again. One night, fifteen. years ago, she saw Michael, who had come to see her.— She slipped hastily in the house, and Mi- chael, who thought she had not seen him, lay down at the door to watch; but he fell asleep, and then Luck burned out his eyes, and carried him to a distance.’ ‘ And is it Michael who told you this 7” ‘Yes; he came very pale, and covered with blood, and he took me by the hand and showed me all with his fingers.’ ‘Upon this Luck and Catharine were arrested, and it was ascertained that she had actually been married to Michael in the year 1810, at Kherson. They at first denied the accusation, but Pawleska in- sisted, and they subsequently confessed the crime. When they communicated the circumstance of the confession to Pawles- ka, she said, ‘I was told it last night.’— The affair naturally excited great interest and people around the nel gthorhoed ar tened into the city to learn the sentebee. Michael Rowdism and Crime in the Northern Cities.—There probably never hasbeen, in any country, so much crime, and such perfect impunity of crime, as now exist in the cities of New York, Philadelphia, Bal- timore, and probably others. We have occasionally referred to evidences of this state of things. In New York. on one day, less than a fortnight ago, four men were sentenced to death; four others were under conviction awaiting sentence at the same time ; and in three days after, three murders were committed, and seven men were stabbed, it is supposed fatally ! But Baltimore is at present worse than all in violation of the laws. The follow- ing is the latest incident :— Batimore, Dec. 14. Daring Robbery at Baltimore.—Mr. Hooper C. Hicks, the Collector of the Cus- toms at Vienna, in Dorchester county, Maryland, whilst passing along Lombard street, near South, at half-past five o’clock this evening. had a rope thrown around his neck, and was dragged into an alley by three men, and robbed of three thou- sand dollars—five handred in gold, twelve hundred in Baltimore notes, and a draft for fourteen hundred on New York, and his watch. At the instant he was assail. ed a handful of lime was thrown into bis mouth and eyes, strangling and blinding him. The robbers escaped before he could recover and give an alarm. His pockets were all cut open and the flesh grazed with the knife. And this occurred shortly after five o’clock in the afternoon, before dark ! The Baltimore Sun, alluding to this and other crimes, says,“There is a manifest inefficiency in the udministrution of the laws; and a venal concern for personal popularity furnishes the only solution of the disgraceful truths that force them- selves upon our notice. Two facts alone, recorded in our paper of Monday morn- ing. prove the atter recklessness of the mob spirit which infeststhe city. On Sat- urday night it thrust itself within the very walls of the court house, and with insolent | vociferation flang its contempt into the very teeth of the appointed officers of the law. In another case a juror was assault. ed tn the streets on account of verdict ren- dered.” The National] Intelligencer strikes at the root of the matter in the following re- marks : “It is not by accident that the Coarts and Officers of Justice are inefficient, and the laws consequently unexeeuted and trampled upon. The real evil consists in subjecting the Judges and Officers of all the Courts of the State to periodical popu- lar election.

We quote : , “ This negotiation has been but just, and Mr. Webster, before his death, hat estly entered into our proposal for com the negotiations on a large and wide field, that would iaclude all the disputed) questions, ‘not only with relationmte our fisheries, bat. to.4 trade of the Canadas and our other Mr. Webster, from the moment when he that letter, acted with the greatest possible epi: rit of reconciliation, and declared several times before his death to Mr. Crampton, that héimoét earnestly desired that our trade should be. tablished on a more thorough basis, and that personal causes of disunion between those two great countries should be removed. * “ We met the same spirit from Commodéré Perry, who was ordered by the Americaa:go#* ernment to waich over the interdsis andipeo: tect the property of the American fishe: who were exercising their right, pot near our shores but around our coast. nat “We must, for many causes, regret the death of that great statesman. He died at a period when his death was peculiarly to be regretted, for it interrupted the negotiation we had with America ; and I have yet no official intel. ligence of any person being g@ppoimed to sué- ceed him. From Mr. Fillmore we bavé Yeo ceived the same assurance of good-will, and the expression of a most anxious desire. that these questions should be settled on no narrow basis, but on the broadest possible field,’ ~ Mr. Webster's Opinion of Kossuth.—Pro~ fessor Felton, in an article in the Whig Re. view, gives an interesting account of a conver. sation he had with Mr. Webster a few. weeke before his death. In this conversation, the fal. lowing was the language which Mr. Webster held towards the great Hungarian orator and patriot, Kossuth : “ He spoke of Kossuth’s eloquence with ad, miration of its beauty and ingenuity. He.tho’t bis.genius wonderful and his resources extra- ordinary, but that he was rather an enthysi possessed with the idea that he was bore a a mission to fulfil, than a statesman; that, his political ideas were not well defined, nor fixed, nor consistent; that he was duubiless a sig, cere lover of his country, but was a poet_rather {ban a sound reasoner on affairs of state and the @ndition of the world.” +4 TEETH. Healthy teeth depend mainly on healthy df. gestion, and on cleanly habits as regards the teeth. They must, of course, be confined to the purposes for whieh they are designed.’ If they are employed for the purpose of cracking nule, biting thread, unscrewing needle cased, or turning the stopper of a smelling. vortle; if the mouth is used as a kind of portable fora tool chest, in which a pair of scissors, a knife, a vice, a cork-screw, or any other instrumenf, may be found at the time of need—ibew sertous and irretrievable injury will eventually be done \o the enamel of the teeth, which no healthi, ness of digestion nor cleanliness of babit wilJ avail to remedy. 7 CURE FOR CROUP. Dr. Fisher, of Boston, relates in a late nurte ber of the Medical Journal, a case in whielra severe attack of croup was cured by the applir cation of sponges wrung out of hot water tothe throat, together with water treatment, which be describes as follows: “Soon afier making the first application of sponges to the throat, | wrapped the child ian a woolen blanket, wrung out in warm water, asa substiiute for a warm bath, and gave twep drops of the wine of antimony in a little sweet. ened water, which was swallowed with diffi- culty. J persevered in the application of the bot moist sponges for an hour, when the child was so much relieved that | ventured to lease it, “ These applications were coutinued thr the night, and in the morning the child was well.” - lt will never do to trifle with this terrible disease. The quicker the remedies are 1 plied the better. Tastead of antimony, we ar recommend small quantities of alam water giv- en every ten or filleen minutes until the chi vomils. NEW CURE FOR FEVER & AGUE. JS The Hutsville (Texas) Item, says: “! « We bad a call this week from Mr. De Berry, of Grimes county, who we under? stand is about to publish a paper "im »Am® derson. From smong other interesting items of information we gleaned from bimy perhaps the following remedy for chills worth printing: Take a raw egg, in a tumbler,cover witb rine Ake and altogether an hoor or two before the ¢hill time of calling.

Dinner parties are epee ken of, where ladies appear io cloaks embaihy ered with pearls. ‘SM very morning of its conve leatly attacked with a distressing disease, to which we are subject, entirely prostrating us, gad depriving us of all participation in its in~ teresting and important proceedings. But tho’ atill confined to bed, we cannot refrain from ex. préssing our gratification ol the character of the Convention, for numbers, respectability, intel. ligence and its sterling integrity and moral firm. ness. Fortunately, our “Jonton ” wason the ground and our readers are, therefore, fully post- ed up on all the important transactions of the oc- casion, both in the Convention and Legislature. The Proceedings of the Convention are pub lished in detail in our columns to-day, the peru- sal of which cannot but be gratifying to the friends of this great reform. The action of the Legislature is alep given ; and we can but say that while ore in the former, much to com. mand the admirMion of every unprejudiced, ened mind, there is in the latter much of @ humiliating and sorrowful char-acter. The Temperance Convention assembled in this City, was noi composed, as some seemed lo suppose of “Sone of Temperance,”exclusively—there were those present who befOhg not to that or— genization—and two-thirds of thase whose sig- natures were affised to the Memorial, are not connecied with any temperance association. — But if all connected with this movement were members ot that order which seems to strike such terror into the minds of some Legislators, does that connection disfranchise them of all rights aod privileges as citizens, and are they therefore to be placed under the ban by Legis- lative proscription? We have no dispositivn to indulge in any disparaging remarks even (o- ward those who exhibited such discourtesy to the friends of the Temperance retorm; their motives we leave for them to explain to their constituents. ‘There were some who we can. not believe were influenced by any opposition to the measure, bul were governed in tbeir course Iruly on accouut of the advanced period ot the session and the great press of business belore the Legislature. We give the proceed. ings, therefore, without comment, leaving eve- ry reader to draw his own conclusions. The fullowing is taken from the Register’s account of Weduesday’s proceedings. Mr. Spruill presented a resolution to tender the use of the Commons Hall, at 7} o'clock to- aight, to the Temperance Convention now in eeasion in the city. Mr. Williams, of Warren, moved that the res. olution be Jaid upon the table. [lis object, be said, was not to oppose the triends of ‘Temper. ance, but to get on with the business of the Leg. islature. At the request of gentlemen he with. drew the motion. Messrs. Spruill, D. F. Caldwell, Dargan, and McNeill spoke in favor of the resolution ; and Messrs. Miller, Wynne, Toulson and Mills in oppositiva to it, Mr. Miils renewed the mo tion to lay the resolution on the table ; and it was decided in the negative—yeas 42, nays 55. The question then recurring on the passage of the resolution, Mr. Miller took the floor, and said he intended to occupy it until twelve o’clock. He proceeded to address the House, and was frequently calledtoorder. He then moved that the House take a recess to 74 o’clock. Mr. Tripp moved an adjournment, which was deci- ded in the negative—yeas 22, nays 77. Mr. Spruill said be had offered his reso. lution out of regard to a respectable body of the citigers of the State, who were endeavering to do good ; and as he was about to be defeaied in bie object under tLe operation of the rules of the House, and was unwilling to see a disgrace. ful scene enacied, he would withdraw the re. solution. {it is proper to remark, that the Hall was not used by the Legislature that night, after all} The following is from the Standard, whose Editor seems alew to have jabored under the erroneous impression that the “ Sons of Tem. perance” alone composed the State Convention then in session in our cily : On Wednesday evening another scene was enacted. A large number of the Suns of Tem perance having met in the Citly forthe purpose of holding & Convention, Mr. Spruill of Bertie offered a resolution tendering thom the use of the Commons Hal! at night. €ol. MeNeill of Robeson, advocated the resolution in a very animated speech. Several members opposed it, the most conspicuous among whom was Mr. Miller, the member from Caldwell. A motion to lay the resolution upon the table having been voted down, this gentleman eprang to his feet, tery mach excited, and declared bis intention fo speak vutil midnight. Afier speaking fora few moments the “ noise and confusion” be- came so great that the Speaker had the lobbies clwared. Mr. Spruill at length withdrew the resolution, saying he did so to avoid a seene disgraceful to the State. A motion to adjourn at last prevailed, and put an end to a contest which was calculated to reflect no credit upon the House. PRESENTATION OF THE MEMORIAL. Oa Priday morning, 171b ins!., the memorial ofthe citizens of the State, asking redress from the grievances and evils of the liquor traffic, was presented to the Senate by Mr, Steele, of Rigbmiond Co. ; saying in the course of bis re- darks, that he was favorable to the petition ee and gave some logical reasons why be favorably considered by the Senate. of Mecklenburg, followed, and ave gent to-some vidlent remarks agajnst it.

We cut from one of our exchanges the following remarkable paragraph, in re- gard to a phenomenon recently observed in the city of New York, which we read at first with careless incredulity, but which we are now compelled to admit, has been confirmed by repeated demon. strations. Aw Exrertment.—The New York Tri- bune says; “ Singular results are obtain- ed in this city from avery simple appli- cation of the nervous fluid, animal mag: netism, or whatever be the agency, to brute matter. Let a party of six or eight persons sit around a common pine table for twenty minutes to balf an hour, with the palms of the hands held flat on the | top of the table: it is not necessary that | their minds should pay any attention to | the process, or conversation be suspended : | but presently the table becomes so charg- ed with the mysterious fluid, that it begins | to move; then rise from it, push away | your chairs, still holding your bands near, | though it is not necessary to touch it, and | it will torn around from end to end, and | even proceed rapidly about the room, | without any visible agent, on which ex- cursions the persons must bear it compa- | ny, or the current is broken, and the move- | ment stops. Thissimp!e experiment may easily be tried: it requires no faith and no outlay of physical or moral strength ; and the result, with a table that is not too heavy, is pretty sure to follow.” During the last week we have partici- pated in the experiments in company with many others equally prejudiced against the result, and we have seen and felt the most indubitable evidence of the truth of the statements made by the Tribune.— These statements are by no means exag- gerated. The movements we have wit- nessed, under circumstances precluding the possibility of collusion or misconcep- tion have been so decided and so long rcontinued, that the most sceptical were brought to admit the phenomenon was de- monstrated, and that its cause is profound- ly mysterious, In order that the experi- ment should fully succeed, it seems neces- sary to use a light table, placed on a sor- face -whete it can meet with little friction, and that as many operators should take part as can conveniently sit around it without contact with each other. The hands, in a dry state, should be Inid with pen palms upon the table, and kept stea- dily in one position, without touching one another, and the feet ought to be kept at such a distance as to allow the table to Mr. Clark were both violenily upposed to the move freely. It will sometimes rock to favor of referring the Memorial to a com | r¢ To ec disposition omenon, and even now, are entirely averse: to tracing it to any uonateral agen We look upon it rather as anew ment of that wonderful electro-magnetic power which fs already known to exist, and which exhibits, in the bands of science, so manystartling effects. It should not be associated with spirtualism, or any of the thousand forms of modern necromancy, but referred for solution to the sober in- espfgations of philosophy.— Weekly Post. The Temperance Memorial.—The Ral. eigh correspondent of the Wilmington Journal gives the following account of the presentation of a memorial in the Sen- ate :— Mr. Steele presented to the Senate to- day, the memorial of the Sons of Temper- ance, praying for the enactment of a law prohibiting the traffic in ardent spirits.— He did not advocate the memorial, but presented it through respect to the signers who numbered near 15,000—of this num- ber, over4,000 are females, and 163 youths. Mr. G. ‘W. Caldwell moved that the me- morial be not received. This motion caus- ed a spirited, and | may say angry, de- bate: Mr. Steele, while he protested a- gainst the memorial as it is, and would vote against it, was clearly of the opinion that the citizens of North Carolina had a right to petition for a redress of grievan- ces. Mr. Caldwell said, that he thoaghbt the Temperance people, on this subject, were fanatical—tbey had no right to ask the Legislature to say in what shape a man shall put his grain before taking it to market, he thought they had am equal right to petition the Legislature on the subject of slavery ; one was as much pro- perty as the other. He was in favor and a friend of Temperance—but was against the reception ofthe memorial. Mr. Clark moved to lay the memorial and motion on the table, which prevailed. In the Commons the memorial was re- ceived and referred to the Jadiciary com- mittee. If Mr. Fillmore’s attitude towards Ca- ba was humiliating in the extreme, why do not the Democrats in Congress take up the subject and redeem the national hon- or? The whole matter is within the competency of Congress. Why does not the bellicose Douglas Jet out some of his thunder? Why does he not introduce re- solutions condemning tbe action of the Executive, and declaring war against Spain? Why do not the Locofoeo pa- pers urge Congress to this course? If they told the truth a few weeks ago in denouncing Mr. Fillmore and are not lost to all sense of shame, tbey have no alter- native but to insist on prompt and deci- sive measures. The war making power is in Congress. Mr. Polk took it out. of the hands of Congress when we ordered the march upon the Rio Grande, and forc- ed Congress to declare that war existed ; but Mr. Fillmore has done notbing of this sort. His action was negative, and if cause of war exists, it is the province of Congresss to declare it. Why don’t you come up to the scratch gentlemen ’— Richmond Whig. F emaLe INTEMPERANCE IN Enctanp.— We cut the fullowing from The British friend, a monthly journal, published in Glasgow, devoted to the interests of the Society of Friends. ‘The statistics disclose a remarkable and appalling proportion of females among the frequenters of the tippling shops of thatcity. The aggregate comparative number of the individuals given below is: Femalee, 1,080 ; Males, 629; Youths 240. **On Saturday evening, July 12, 1851, there entered into a spirit shop in Princes’ street, be. tween the hours of ten and twelve, 173 males, 365 females, and 38 youths. On Saturday even. ing, August 9, in a spirit shop in King street, between the same hours, 109 males, 247 fe. males, and 41 youths. On Saturday evening, August 16, between the same hours, intoa cel. lar in Stirling street, 96 males, 105 females, and 117 youths. On Saturday evening, Au. gust 23, between the same hours, 60 males, 103 females, and 17 youths, entered a shop in High street. On Saturday evening, August 20, be— | tween the same hours, there eniered into one in Stirling sireet, 116 males, 149 females, and 14 youths ; and on the 6th September, into a | spirit cellar in Main street, Gorbals, there en- tered 75 males, 111 females, and 12 youths,— | These facts show, in a striking light, not only | the awful prevalence of drunkenness, but the fearful proportion of its female victims.” Loox Our ror THe Women.—Young men ! | keep your eye peeled when you are after the women.

If sustained, it will not only destroy that ever subsist pene t ing this Confederacy efect the talue of slave property wherever found in the same. I have also received and herewith submit a communication from Henry D. Lapa ugh, Eeq.. of the city of New York, from which you will perceive that the proceedings which took place before Judge Payne, have been removed by certiorari in the Supreme Court of the State, to be by the court reviewed. ; But i am informed that, by voluntary contr!- butions of a portion of the good people of that city, Lemmon and his wife have been fully re- imbursed the value of their slaves, and have stipulated that, in case Judge Payne’s decision is reversed, the slaves shall have their freedom. This’ withdraws from those immediately con- cerned all personal interest in the further pro- secution of the appeal. But it by no means diminishes the extent to which the decision affects the rights and interests of our citizens at large. I deem the subject of sufficient pub- lic importance to require and receive the alten. tion of the government of this Commonwealth, and recommend that, for the present, provision shall be made by the General Assembly for the efficient prosecution of the appeal already taken and of such other jndicial proceedings as may be found necessary and proper for a satisfactory adjudication of the important questions involved in this case. I cannot believe that even by the Supreme court of the State of New York, a decision will be sustained that is so contrary to the spirit of all law, so opposed to the established principles which regulate intercourse between foreign na. tions, so much at war, with the relations which should subsist between the sister States of this Union, and, as I think, with the spirit, if not the letter of the Constitution, itself. But if, in this, [ am mistaken, if the statute of New York has been rightfully expounded by the learned judge, and is not in conflict with the Constitution of the United States, it is proper that Virginia should know it. The same sov— ereign power by which New York enacts her laws and gives them foree within her limits, pertains to Virginia within her’s; and to them sbe will have to look for redress. ” InsTANTANEOUS CrysTALIzATION.— All ex- periments for the production of crystals are both interesting and beautiful ; they show that all matter will assume, under tavorable circumstance, a definite and reg- ular form or shape. Crystalization is a species of vitality belonging to, and in- herent in, what are generally called ear- thy substances, perfectly analogous to the regular form assumed by plants and ani- mals. A certain erystal will produce crystals of a like kind, but not of another ; jast as the seed of one plant produces its kind, but no other. Crystaliziation isthe first link of the chain that anites man with the “dust of the earth.” The slower crys- tals are formed, the more beautiful and regular they appear; but asit is interest- ing to see them form quickly, though not of good shape, we give the following expe- riment, by which a liquid is made to be- come almost solid in an instant. Take half a pound of Glauber salts (sulphate of soda.) crush it to powder, and pour upon it half a pint of boiling water ; as soon as the salt is dissolved, pour off the clear hot liquor into a warm glass tumbler, and set it in an ondisturbed place ; now, as qnick- ly as you can, put atablespoon(ul of sweet oil on the surface of the solution, and let it stand till quite cold. In this state it will remain liquid ; but if touched witha piece of wood, or if anything be dropped into the glass, the whole will instantane- ously crystalize. If a bottle be quite filled with the hot solution, and corked up while hot, it will remain liquid when it becomes cold; but when the cork is drawn, crys- tals will be rapidly formed. A Mryyesora Nicut.—One is not filled with a perfect sense of the charms of our climate until he witnesses one of .our moonlight nights. In winter they are nearly as bright as day. The hills round about our meridian throw a strong reflec- tion of the moon’s light in upon our town, showing its every feature, rendered more charming inthe softness of the light.— The trees of the forest bespangled with frost set off the scene like a fairy land.— The air is silent as death.

A late number of the Scientific Ameri- can states that the smoke in the factories of the large cities in England and Scot. land is now consumed, it having been made a penal offence by act of parlia- ment for any factory to allow the smoke toescape. The smoke is burned by sim. ple contrivances of furnaces. A govern- ment committee first established that the burning of smoke was perfectly practica- ble, and Parliament then enforced the fact by law. The factory and mill owners soon found out how to falfil the conditions of the law, and the result is, that they save a great deal of fael by the operation. A DEMOCRATIC SIGHT.

The severe and unjust attack upon Pre- sident Williamson, by the Asheville Mes- senger, published in this paper two weeks ago, has called forth from that gentleman, n vindication of his character by the sub- joined certificates, to which we invite the attention of all who read the attack. Wuereas a report has been propagated and published in the Asheville Messenger against the President of Da- videon College, setting forth that he bought $20 worth of liquors at first cost, for a wedding party at his own house, and that he drinks himself and sets out liquors to others : Now, we the undersigned, from our long and most intimate acquaintance with the President, with his hab- its, and his principles in reference to temperance, and even with the customs in his house, feel that we are called upon, as officers of the College, and friends of trath and temperance, to certify that the report is a gross misrepresentation and a malicious slander. In the execution of our duties as a Faculty, we had felt it to be important to take some meastres to have the merchants of the place discontinue the keeping of ardent spirits even for medical purposes, and insiructed .| the President to insist on its discontinuance in the stores. The merchants alleging that some ought to be kept for cases of sickness and other necessity, not only amongst the families and students of the place, but amongst the families of the surrounding neighborhood, which the Faculty admitted ; the President, with the concurrence of the Faculty, and in order to guard against all impro- per use of it by the students, agreed to take what might answer the purposes of necessity into his own care.— He, accordingly, and with the understanding that the merchants would keep none, ordered of French Brandy and Madeira Wine the smallest quantities which we be- lieve could be obtained at wholesale prices, viz: ‘ive gallons of each. A gentleman who was present, we understand, joined in the order, and received after its ar- rival about one-fourth of the brandy ; and, although we have kept no particular account, we are certain that far the larger part of the brandy, as well as a consider- able part of the wine, was disposed of to persons not be- longing to the President’s family. As to the charge against the President that “ he by an absolute edict forbid and prohibited the delivering of a temperance lecture in the Halls or elsewhere about the premises of the College buildings,” we certify that no application was made to the Faculty for permission to deliver a temperanee leeture in any of the Halls or elsewhere, except in the College Chapel. The refusal, however, to permit Mr. P. S. White to lecture in the College Chapel, was given with the concurrence of the whole Faculty, and seemed to us to be not only justified but called for by the manner in which Mr. White had abused that privilege on a previous occasion, in insult- ing the Faculty, abusing the Presbyterian Church, its ministers, its elders, and other christian denominations, and by ffte fact that we understood he had abused this College in some parts of South Carolina. We certify also, that no strolling stage players or dancers were ever permitted to exhibit or perform in the College Chapel. We certify, finally, that we believe there is not to be found at any institution a more healthful temperance sentiment among the students. M. D. JOHNSTON, S. B. O. WILSON. As some of the circumstances above mentioned oc- curred before my connection with the College, of them I cannot speak from persoual knowledge; but so far as it extends, I concur in the statements of the other Pro- fessors. E. F. ROCKWELL. Davidson College, Dec. 22, 1852. _In consequence of publication made in the Ashe- ville Messenger against the Faculty of Davidson Col- lege, and particularly against the President, concerning liquors, reported to have been laid in by him for a wed- ding party at his own house, I, as the agent, employed at the request of Dr. Williamson, do hereby certify that when he employed me to purchase and forward the brandy and wine refered to in that publication, he ex- pressly stated they were ordered, for the use of the fam- ilies and students of the College as they might be need- ed ae certify, that I have frequently stated to the Faculty “and to others, that whatever sperits of any cha- racter might be necessary for medical purposes here, ought to be kept by the President of the College and no other person, as it could not be kept in the stores with- out an improper and injurious use being made of it, and that I had quit keeping it and determined that I would not keep any more. And that it may be seen for what purpose these li- quors were sent for and kept, I hereby certify. that all orders sent to me from the sick of the neighborhood, I sent on to the President of the College, and believe that in every case the liquor was got ; and I am certain that aes the year I sent from six to ten orders, so that ere was no misunderstanding he j nome Kaeuts ors ng here of the object for I farther certify, that alluded to in the publi wine or spirits of round to the guest. ‘ College one of wi irits of any kind, except in the one Cee ne ae Given under my hand this 22d day of Dec., 1852. ‘ SAM’L M.

The trag- edy created the greatest excitement. ARREST OF AN INFAMOUS SCOUN- DREL. Boston, Dec. 18. Geo. W. Symonds, well known in the annals of crime, in thia city, has just been arrested at Hudson, N. Y., on the flagrant charge of set— ling fire to the Franklin house, in that city.— He was landlord of the hotel to which be ap— plied the torch. The burning of the hotel was a most desperate resource of a: reckless man. His house was filled with boarders, some of whom were obliged to leap from the third story windows and none saved any more than the clothes snatched hastily asthey escaped. The wife of the villain made the disclosures which led to his arrest. Resignation of Hon. Wm. R. King.— On Monday last the following letter was read in the Senate: Wasuineton, Dec. 20, 1852. Senators: The feeble state of my health renders me unable to discharge the duties of President pro tem. Accept, I beg you, my resignation of the honorable position in which you have with so much unani- mity placed me. In taking leave of you, Senators, per- mit meto express my grateful acknowl. edgment for your uniform personal kind. ness, and the generous support you have never failed to give me in my efforts to preserve order and enforce the parliament. ary law. May a merciful Providence preserve to each of you the greatest of all earthly blessings, bealth. With the bighest respect and esteem, ] am your obedient servant, WM. R. KING. We do not understand from this that Mr. King has resigned his seat as Sena- tor, though he speaks of “taking leave” of his associate Senators. The accounts as to his health are decidedly bad. Some of the Northern papers are debating the question about the Vice Presidency in case of his death, one of them (the New York Express.) contending that in case he should not live till the votes are counted out (on the 2d Wednesday of February.) the Senate would be compelled by the Constitutional provision to elect Mr. Gra- ham Vice President. The Senate unanimously elected the Hon. Davie R. Atchison, of Missouri, Pre- sident pro tem. of the Senate.—Fay. Ob. Free Banking in Indiana and Tilinois.— Much fear is expressed in the Missouri and In- diana papers that the present batch of free banks in Indiana and part of Illinois will not prove substantial.

Y., ask- ing the Legislature to repeal so much of a recent law as denounces penalties for the crime of seduction, and in lieu thereof enact that the unmarried father of any child, (both parents being white,) shall, from the naked fact of such paternity, be deemed and taken in Jaw to be the husband of the mother, and thenceforth bound to re and support her as his wife, just as though they had been married with benefit of clergy. It is further prayed that every child, whether born in or out of wedloek, shall inherit in common with all other children, the property of both parents, being deemed their legal heir.
