They gave proof of their gratitude. Mr. Calhoun was then candidate for Vice President of the Uni- ted States ; he became the favorite of the North—beating even Mr. Adams, himself, onthe free soil track.

I told him all this in my first Calhouniac, in the Senate of the United States, four days af- ter he put in his fire brand resolutions, in my speech to show him to be the true au- thor of the Mexican war.” The first thing which struck us, on read- ing the first extract, was the utter want of memory manifested by Mr. Calhoun, with regard to the circumstances attend- ing the admission of Missouri, and the exceedingly awkward predicament in which it places him. That he did give his opinion, in favor of the power of Con- gress to exclude slavery from the territo- ries, seems to be established by a mass of him through New Hampshire, Vermont | | of 1787, to more than half of the whole aoa .

These proofs consist- ed of the original interrogation propound- ed to his Cabinet by Mr. Monroe, in his own handwriting and the draft of a letter from him to a friend, stating that these questions were answered affirmatively by every member of the Cabinet, Mr. Cal- | houn of course included.

Prospectuses.—We have received at our office, within the last two or three months, several different prospectuses of papers now published, and proposed to be published, in North Carolina, which, in point of workmanship, would have been adisgrace to any printing office in the State twenty years ago. We take occa- sion to notify those, therefore, who may hereafter wish to put out such papers, that if they will send their rnanuscripts to this office, we will do them up a job that will, at least, look respectable. Riots in Philadelphia.—The city of Philadelphia appears to be infested with a worse class of rowdies than even New York. Almost every Sunday witnesses & tiot between the rival fire campanies.

But on Sunday the 17th the exhibition was on a grander scale, as Will be seen by the following account :— Philadelphia, June 17. 4 appears that during the alarm of fire this morning, the adherants of the Mova- Mensing company seized the carriage of the Franklin company and threw it into the Delaware. About noon the friends of the Franklin collected in considerable Mmbers ard took possession of the En- 8ine house of the Movamensing compa: ‘y> This led toa desperate and deadly “tuggle, both parties being armed with Muskets, knives, and various descriptions _missiles.

She had form- _ed a constitution and government, in ac- cordance with an act of Congress. Her admission was refused on the ground that her constitution admitted of slavery ; and she was remanded back to have the ob- jectionable provision expunged. She re- fused to comply with the requisition, and at the next session again knocked at the door of Congress for admission, with her constitution as it originally stood. Calhoun says that Missouri was then a State,—that if refused admission to the Union she would still have been a State, ae or compromise, was the only alternative all. There was a strip of land, about He actually forgets that Missouri tied the day, and Texas was lost.

Now this is error. The constitution of Missouri followed, and did not precede the compromise act. That act was pass- ed March 6th, 1820, the constitution fram-. ed under it was signed July 19th, of the ‘same year; and was presented to Con-| gress in the month of November follow- ing—Congress in that year having met on the second Monday in November.— Here then is an error of a year in point of time, and a transposition of events in point of fact. The cunstitution of Mis- souri was made after the compromise, and in pursuance of it; and not to know that much was to know nothing at all about it. Mr. Calhoun says the admission was re- fused, and the constitution remanded back, because it admitted slavery in Missouri. This is great error. The act of Congress under which the Missouri constitution was made admitted slavery in Missouri, _ aud her constitution could not be, and was not, refused on that ground. The admis. Sion was not refused for that cause, nor territory nearly a thousand miles square | authorized her to forma State constitu- tion. Never was such blundering seen! We next have a parallel between the Missouri Compromise and the Wilmot proviso: Mr. Benton. after thas establishing the fact that Mr. Calhoun gave his sanction | to the compromise act which admitted Missouri, goes on to show that it 7s an the | very words of the Wilmot Proviso. He thinks, therefore, that this should be called the Calhoun proviso, because Mr. Cal- | boun was nearly thirty years ahead of Wilmot in its support, because his posi- | tion was then higher, being a member of | the Cabinet, because he was successful, and Mr. Wilmot was not, and finally be- | cause Wilmot’s proviso is a weak contri- vance to prevent slavery from being where it is not, and where it never will be ;— while Calhoun’s proviso was a manly blow to kill slavery, where it then existed, by law, and where it would now exist in point of fact, if that blow had not been. struck. ‘The proviso of Mr. Calhoun ac- tually abolished slavery where it existed by law—in all the upper half of Louisia- na—from 36—30 to 49, and from the Mis- sissippi to the Rocky Mountains—over a 'Texas and the 36 deg. 30 min. of north | latitude. This strip having escaped the | compromise line on one side, and the Texas cession on the other, was open to. \the formation of two respectable slave | States. Mr. Calhoun was then still cab- , inet minister—Secretary at War—had the | Indians under his care—and was riding | the hobby of their civilization. He re- | quired this strip to be given up to the In- | 'dians for their permanent abode; and | ‘thus it, also, was lost to the slave States. All Louisiana was then gone from them except the fragment which was contained | in the States of Missouri and Louisiana, | and in the Territory of Arkansas. Even) -ihis fragment appeared to be too much to be left to the slave States, and a slice forty ‘miles wide, and three hundred miles long, was cut off {rom Arkansas and given to_ the Indians; and the slaveholders with ‘the slaves upon the slice, were required to remove from the cut off part, and fall ' back within the contracted limits. This was done by the Indian treaty —the treaty | negotiated by a protege of Mr. Calhoun’s. fle was then Vice President of the Uni- ted States, and President of the Senate— I was a member of the Senate— opposed ‘to the ratification of this treaty—and came within one or two votes of defeat- ing it. The slightest help from Mr. Cal- | houn would have defeated it, and saved 'the slave state of Arkansas that territory, and those salt springs, the loss of which she now has to Jament. Taken all toge- | ther—the compromise— the Texas cession | —the Indian domain and the slice {rom Arkansas, and Mr. Calhoun did more, in| less time, to abolish slavery, diminish its | area, and increase that of free soil, than! things connected with this subject. The hibit slavery in the territories, is not, as Col. Benton supposes, “ recently invent- ed.” It was well understood at the very time when Mr. C. gave this Cabinet opin- ion. In the debate on the Missouri ques- tion, Charles Cortesworth Pinckney, rep- resenting Mr. Calhoun’s own State in the Senate of the United States, in a speech, among the first, if not the very first, de- livered on the Southern side, took the broad ground, not only that Congress had no right to restrict slavery in the territo- ries, but that the Ordinance of 1787, re- lied on the support such an opinion, was an arbitrary exercise of power not grant- ed by the State of Virginia in her act of cession of the Northwest territory—that the Congress enjoyed no such power un- der the Articles of Confederation, which were in operation at the time of the ces- sion—that the Legislature of Virginia, by cause of of 5 the @xist- | ence among its membere of geeat agitation and | alarm, arising from the impreséion-that ‘doc- trines have been preached wot in aecotdunce | With the Liturgy and Articles.ofthis: Ghurch | and that ceremonies and -practices-have been | introduced either unauthorized by. the customs of this Church, or in plain violation: of ite :ru- _bics. As itis not the business of the Com- | millee to say, they do not say, whether or net | such doctrines have been preached or such Practices introduced; but they state as their full conviction, that whether the ease be eo-or not, the far greater part of the Clergy are en. tirely opposed to any such departure from: the | doctrines of the Church,—that they desire:the introduction of no ceremonies unauthorized by the customs of this Church, and are still less tolerant of such as violate the rubics, Anoth- er cause of alarm, as the Committee believe, has been found in the supposition that @ society has existed in this Diocese, ‘whose ter, rules and practices are at variance-with the spirit if not with the laws ofthis Church. .The Committee bave assurance, on which they en- lirely rely, that no such society ie-at preseat in existence in this Diocese.

He bas ever been the friend of the in. dustrious and working classes, and as this prin. ciple is the basis of Whig action, his being a democrat is a matter of habit—-besides, he knows how bitter and vindictive and unforgis- ing the leaders of his party are, against any one who dares to entertain an opinion hostile | to the notions of the Jacobinival Sanhedrim at Washington, of whose tenents Mr. Ritchie is at present the organ and expounder.

The very reverse of all this is the es. | sence of that arisfocracy which is miscalled the | democracy—whilethe Whigs, who are the true Democratic Republicans of the country, give practical illustrations that these are their sen- timents. Heaven grant that the patriots of all parties may lend their aid to avert from North Caroli- na a degrading, an infamous doom—to which the mere politician and demagogues would con- sign her—that the poor while men and women the State, may be lified by the arm of indus- try to a position of comfort and eredit, and join in the multitudes that shall labor for their own independence, and the prosperity and happi- ness of the State. A CHANGE IN WILMINGTON. Joseph S. Murphy has been removed from the office of Surveyor of this Port, and John Cowan appointed in his stead. In reference to this change, the Journal sets up the ery of Proscription. This was to have been expected, just as much as the witches are expected to appear in Macbeth—it is a part of the play, a preconcerted arrangement, a thing all cut and dried beforehand. Willthe Journ. al please to answer us this question: How many years must a man hold an office under the General Government to make bis superse. dure therein anon proscriptive act ? must it be ten, fifteen, or twenty years? Or does the - Journal wish to be understood as advancing the doctrine that members of its party who hap. pen to be in office have no right to be disturb. ed forthe balance of their lives. Perhaps the Journal would do well to “ define its post” with some degree. of exactitude, so that when it cries * Proscription,” the public may know what meaning ie to be thereto attached. If it con. tends that Locofucos have a life-estate in their offices, or that they have a moral lease of them for twelve, or furty years, why then let the dec- Jaration be made, so that we may see distinctly how the monomania works. Mr. Muephg hae we believe held the office of Surreyor for some ten years, perhaps fora longer period. hk is generally understood that he is a man of handsome property, baving am. ple resurces beyond the emoluments of the of. fice, therefore needing them not, We have not heard complaints made at the removal.

In the first place, if the present charter be not secured and the road built, the East and the West will be dissevered for- | ever!

We know tuality and identity of interest that can put an end to this state of things. It af- fords but little alleviation to our minds, in the contemplation of this thing, to know that the popular power is gradually and | surely progressing and accumulating in Penton: the West, and that the time is hastening when we can,.(and when we must under ‘the present dissevered condition of the State.) make the East feel it. Though we live in the West, we (not we the printers alone. but we the people.) are NORTH | CAROLINIAN in our views and feelings; and it is the first wish of our hearts, as such, to preserve the ancient integrity of ‘the State. Our friends of the Last, as well as the West, ought to consider these things. The other reason, and one which has | not we apprehend been sufficiently insist- construction of the Central Road is the only means of saving the State from a heavy loss in the Raleigh and Gaston Road. This is a stubborn fact which re- quires no comment, except a reference to the figures showing the expenses and ul- timate liability, and to the people who have to foot the bill! As to the general effect of a railway upon every popular interest, we have giv- en “line upon line”—the views of prac‘:- cal and intelligent men, whenever they have come in our way. We admired the candor and fair dealing of the distinguish- ed men who were at the Salisbury Con- vention, and who controlled its proceed- ings. There was no disposition manifes- ted either in convention or private circles tohold out the idea of immediate and great profit on the stock, as an inducement to men to embark their means in this enter- prise. Higher motives were appealed to ; and we are happy to believe that higher motives influenced the members of that convention, and will influence the people generally. All, however, seemed to con- cur in the opinion that the stock would be safe, and ultimately among the most along the Road, that the people must look for more immediate reimbursement and profit. Gen. McRae,the President of the Wilmington Road ; stated the astonishing amount of increase in the assessed value of the lands along that Road; and went on to say that he believed he could give good security for the performance of a | contract to build the Central Railroad, ‘entire value of the real estate of North Caro- ‘that he has travelled through North Carolina — (having once been a member of Congress, | | route of the Central Road, he thinks it more | are paid. . . : 3. if subscribers neglect or refuse taking their papers | from the offices to which they are sent they are held | ible till their bills are settled and their paper or- dered to be discontinued. , 4.

What is more natural, then, than to find them clamoring like so many mad-men. Besides, the fellows had been feasting so long on the public pap that it is like drawing eye teeth to be compelled now to work for an honest living. “ The people” take it very hard ! and their “car- ryings on” show it. .

FROM THE NATIONAL INTELLIGENCER OF JUNE 30. North Carolina fairly aroused to a sense of her own Interest. We are glad of an opportunity to call the attention of our readers to the great work, generally known by the | name of the Central Railroad, which it is proposed to The | Gencral Assembly of that State, in a spirit of liberality which it never before exerted to the same extent, grant- ed a Charter for incorporating a company to construct | a Railroad from Goldsborough, in the county of Wayne, | by way of Raleigh and Salisbury, to Charlotte, in Meck- | lenburg county—a distance of about two hundred and , ten miles—and agreed to subscribe to the stock of that company Two Millions of Dollars on behalf of the State, whenever individuals shall have subscribed One Million of Dollars, and paid up one-half of that sum.

David Reid vs. “ Fraudulent Tickets.” There is now commencing, in the Wil- mington Congressional District, one of the warmest political fights, that we have had for some time—a sort of Kilkenny affair, '—the gentlemen are both of the same political stripe. The contest is between Davin Rem, formerly of Fayetteville, and Ws. S. Asue, the fraudulent ticket man, of Wilmington. Of course this is an affair, concerning the issue of which, the Whigs _as a party feel but little interest, beyond that of mere curiosity, to see how and by which the advantage is obtained, the one over the other; just, for instance, as if they had been present on the celebrated occasion to witness the cat fight already alluded to. It is all the same to them,— they neither gain or lose, whether Ashe beats Reid, or Reid beats Ashe.

The whole embraces 663 ministers, 1,604 churches, 200,000 com municants, and a population of one mill- ion. In our own neighborhood they have a large and respectable congregation. Lincoln Courter.

The treatment of a straggling ac- tress who seperated from her hasband, and is by this time ready to go home to England, and write a book abusive of our country, as contrasted with that of the Minister of the Most High, is well drawn and should be well thought of :—Colum bus (Ga.) Eng. Mrs. Fanny Kemble Butler, the Eng- lish actress, after separating from her hus- band, amassed a fortune in her readings of Shakspeare to fashionable audiences in New York, Philadelphia and Boston— said to be about $20,000. John Jones was sent from his family by the South Carolina Conference to read the Bible, preach the Gospel, and instruct the pcor negroes of the rice swamps in the way to everlas'ing li‘e—his salary for a year’s work, in all, was only two hun- dred doJJars—he retires with a broken down constitution to die in a log cabin— | and leave a disconsolate wife and child dependent upon the cold charity of the world.

It was carried to the house of Squire Hewlett, where it was laid out, and prepared for sending up by the cars. Buffalo Com. Adv. WESTERN TURNPIKE. We deem it important to state, for the infor. mation of those who feel an interest in the suc. cess of the great Western Turnpike, from Sal. isbury to the Georgia Line, that the Governor, afier the most diligent inquiry, has not been able to obtain the services of an Engineer.— The numerous Rail Roads in the country, now being constructed, seem to have monopolized that profession. , When it is considered what a length of road | is to be made, through how desirable aclimate itis to be located, and the profits attending the Job, it is surprising that offers for thia service have not been numerous and urgent, _Tf our Newspapers would call public atten. lion to the subject, and thus Present it to the notice of the Engineer Corps, it would be ben. a B thorough and energetic system for the detection of dishonesty and irregularities occurring in that important branch of the public service, than has ever been heretofure enforced.

LAZINESS. We regard laziness as one of the most crying evils of the present day; and we believe that we could not do society a greater service than to take up our para- ble against it. « Six days shalt thou labour, and do all thy work,” is a part of the Command- ment; and we hold that he who spends | these six days in idleness is just as great an offender against the law as he who does not remember the seventh, “ the Sab- bath-day, to keep it holy.” And why should he not be? What other fountain | is more prolific of evil than laziness ?-— | “An idle man’s brain is the devil’s work- shop,” and it always has been. Rape, robbery, murder, swindling, intemperance and its concomitant sins, are, nine times out of ten, traceable directly to this re- nowned laboratory: and therefore, there is no reason why idleness should not be placed in the Same catagory with the oth- er offences enumerated in the Decalogue. But suppose an individual is not under the necessity of laboring with his own hands or head for a livelihood—shall he | sill be compelled to work? Yes, or not | eat: for it is contrary to the laws of na- | ture for a man to consume the fruits of | the earth without doing something to re- | store to the common stock as much at | least as he takes from it. But the neces: | sity here spoken of is only a physical one ; for the divine economy impresses upon all | mea the necessity of labour. And when the death of one relative, or the industry | of another, places it within the power of an individual to pass off his time without employment, should this exempt him from the obligation of the commandment ?— Shall money, or lands and goods, annul | the laws of God and render them of non- | effect in the case of their possessor ? Then why not allow him to kill? to commit a- | dultry? to steal? to bear false witness | against his neighbor? These crimes are forbidden by the very same code that en- joins labor on every man: and if the pos- | session of property be allowed to furnish | exemption from the one, why shall it not. provide impunity for the others? These | offences differ only in degrees of atrocity ; | and hence, the Apostle lays it down that, “whosoever shall keep the whole law, | aeeeeotcna in one point, he is guilty of The idler then, whether rich or poor, ought to be arraigned at the bar of pub- lic opinion as a eriminal of the most atro- tious class ; and should be dealt with ac- | cordingly. He who steals six-pence worth of bread from his neighbor’s shelf to satis- | fy his hungry soul, is deemed a felon, and loses his liberam legem. How much bet- | ter is he who swindles the State that pro- | his life? Nota whit, say we: and there- | fore he ought to rank according to his de- | Merits, Public opinion ought to place in the hand of every member of society a thong of plaited scorpions to lash the ras- cal naked round the land. | been fishing in New York last Sunday, went to | character is, to a very great degree, in the hands of pa- | duty; with the conviction stamped deep upon their against laziness would be a reproof of their own conduct during the week? Or do they fear that freedoms of this sort might be regarded as offensive in the ar- istocratic nostrils of certain patrons and disciples on the drippings of whose kitch- ens they are accustomed to calculate _— The good old John Wesley thought it his duty to beard this vice as well as others. Know ye not, says he in one of his ser- mons, “ that there is no grosser dishonesty than sloth? That every voluntary block- head isa knave? He defrauds his ben- efactors, his‘parents and world ; and robs both God and his own soul. Yet bow many lazy drones, asif only Fruges con- sumere nati! Born to eat up the produce of the soul.” Mental idleness more par- ticularly, were the species on which this great and good man was discoursing ; but his remarks are equally applicable to laziness of every kind.—Here endeth the first lesson. *The Rev. Mr. Rankin of Davidson County, in one of the most able discourses that we have heard for years, delivered in the Presbyterian church here some weeks ago, touched on this subject with all the power of the Bible. It was a discourse which bore the impress throughout, of much care, thought, and research; and could not fail to produce conviction on the important point engaging the attention of the “ Argus” in this article. Stuck in the Mud.—A German, who had bathe. He dived off the wharf, and the bottom of the river being muddy, he stuck fast. When found his head was fast in the mud, and his heels sticking up. They afterwards brought him to the top of the water by means of hooks and lines. This ought to be a caution to youth against diving where there is a soft muddy bot- tom.— Portsmouth Herald. The Siamese twins have passed through Bal. limore, on their way home again, having con- cluded to postpene their tour of the country and visit to Europe until the cholera has passed a- way. Home Influence. The social and moral character of its scholars is one of the elements of the school. The formation of that rents; and it is a work which they are performing dai- ly,—hourly,—unconscious of it, though they may be,— for good or evil. The silent influence of their lives, like the hand of the artist, is adding line after line to the delicate engraving, which is to be reproduced and mul- tiplied until the material into which it is wrought is bro- ken into fragments. That influence may make the child a blessing or a curse to himself, to the school and to the world. Surely, then, it is not to be trifled with, nor slightly regarded. The effects of home influence are never more percep- tible than in the school room. So apparent is it there, that it is the frequent remark of teachers, that the de- meanor of the child furnishes a criterion by which they can determine, with a remarkable degree of accuracy, the character of its parents. The home where rude- ness of demeanor, harshness of language, neglect of wholesome restraint, are the distinguishing traits in the character of the parents, seldom furnishes gentle, cour- teous, orderly subjects in the school-room ; ‘‘ men do not gather grapes of thorns, nor figs of thistles”” The teacher looks in vain for respect from those who have never learned to respect their natural guardians, or for obedience from those who have not been taught from their infancy that obedience is a virtue. The lessons conned at the fireside are sure to be recited at school, and the voices of home find there a fitful echo. These considerations, which cannot fail to receive the assent of every reflecting father aud mother, should operate as a sufficiently powerful inducement to the exercise of a proper parental influence, for their own reputation, if for no other object. But there is something more,—the welfaie of their children. They are sent to school with a view to their mental and moral improvement. They should go there with right views of the object and of minds and their hearts, that the violation of the laws of the school, disobedience of orders, disrespectful conduct toward their teacher, unkind or uncourteous treatment of their schoolmates, inattention to study, falsehood, vul- A WEEK LATER FROM EUROPE. Insurrection in Paris—City of Rome at- tacked by the French Troops—Eight Hundred Romans Killed—The Markets, §c., Fc. Sr. Jouns, N. B., June 28. The steamer Hibernia arrived at Hali- ans gceeruny afternoon, with dates to the th. Cholera in England and France.—The cholera has again appeared in England, and several cases have occurred in Man- chester and other parts of the country. At Paris the cholera is making most frightful havoc—even more so than in 1837. Upwards of 11,000 deaths have already occurred, and in one day there were about 900 cases and 600 deaths re- ported. Marshal Bugeaud and many oth- er persons of eminence have fallen before the scourge. It has broken out anew iin Silesia, Vi- enna and Presburg, and is raging most fearfully at Alexandria and Cairo in E- sypt. ENGLAND. The Navigation Laws—Repudiation by the British Government of French Inter- vention in Roman Affairs.—The bill for the abrogation of the Navigation Laws passed the House of Lords without ma- terial amendment, on the 12th, and has received the royal sanction. The bill will go into effect in January. The British Government repudiates all cognizance or sanction of the proceedings of the French in their treatment of the Romans. Smith O’Brien, through his counsel, de- nies the legality of the commutation of his sentence of death to transportation, and the government have to provide for this unlooked for difficulty by special act of Parliament. The weather is represented as continu- ing very favorable, and the crops in near- ly all parts of England and Ireland are said to look unusually promising. In the debate in Parliament upon the Canadian losses bill, Mr. Gladstone inter- posed a most furious opposition to the measure, and his remarks are said to have made a marked impression in the House. He contended that the passage of the bill involved imperial as well as local consid- erations, and that its provisions were at variance with the honor and dignity of the crown. After a warm discussion, a division was taken upon the question, that the debate should be postponed to the 15th inst. FRANCE. Insurrection in Paris.—On Wednesday an incipient insurrection was attempted in Paris by about 25,000 of the Mountain party, headed by M. Ettienne Arago, Jr., and was suppressed by the troops, whose number amounted to 70,000. Several at- tempts were made to erect barricades.— In the evening, the Assembly declared it- self en permanence, and passed a decree declaring Paris in a state of siege. On Thursday the alarm had considera- from accounts received to the 5th instant, it is clear that Gen. Oudinot had not gain- ed.access to the city. though he had gain- ed a position at the North of Rome, which would enable him te command the city. The latest despatch from Gen. Oudinot is to the 6th inst., at which time he-open- ed his trenches, and had regularly besieg- ed the city. There is no appearance of yielding on the part of the Romans, but on the con- trary, every thing goes to confirm the belief that they would make a most de- termined resistance, and fight to the last. All the Socialist or Red Republican journals in Paris, except the National, had been suppressed, since the disturbance on Wednesday. HUNGARY. Kossuth Proclaimed President of the Hungarian Repudlic.—Geneéral Kossuth has arrived in Pesth, and has been receiv- ed in the capital as President of the Hun- garian Republic. Proclamation from the Russian General to the Hungariuns.—The Russian Gener- al has issued a Proclamation to the Hun- garians, the pith of which is, that if they do not lay down their arms and submit to their fate with a good grace, they will be made to feel the consequences of their presumption. Every effort is being made to rouse the people, and the Magyar government has ordered the clergyman to preach against the Russians. BADEN REVOLUTION. In Baden the Revolutionary struggle is in fall play. The Prince of Prussia has left Berlin to take command of the army of the Rhine; and in Baden, Wurtemberg and Bavaria. fie democrats are preparing for a con- ict. COMMERCIAL SUMMARY AND MARKETS. Liverpoot, Saturday, June 16th.—Ow- ing to the stirring events on the continent, to which the week has given birth, busi- ness was somewhat restricted, though not to the extent which would have been ap- prehended. The markets for corn and breadstuffs maintain more than average firmness. Viewing the recent rise in cotton as un- tenable, upon the whole the market wears a healthy aspect. The national securities have been firm throughout the week. Notwithstanding the attempted revival of insurrection and turbulence in France, and the distracted condition of central Europe, the funds have maintained an upward tendency, closing firmly last night.

At one time the peril was imminent, | and nothing but the courage and prudence | of the President, aided by firmness and | sagacity, prevented the most serious con- sequences. | Numerous arrests have taken place, in- | cluding several members of the Assembly, M. Ledru Rollin being among them. The last accounts report a state of tran- | quility. but there was an uneasy feeling | afloat that a renewed attempt would be > made to upset the Government, and that | when it comes to the point, the troops will not prove steady. , Rheims Reported in full Insurrection— A Government of Red Republicans Estab- | lished.—The city of Rheims is reported to | garity, profaneness, truancy, are morally wrong ,—that the commission of any one of these offences will subject them to the rightful infliction of punishment by their | teacher, to the displeasure of their parents, and to the be in full insurrection, and to have estab- lished a Government of the Red Republi- National Guard of Paris against the , rebukes of conscience, which, although slumbering for | the time being, will sooner or later awake and assert its | right to be heard.

The following interesting remarks in rela- tion to the town of Quincy (Mass.) are from one of the editors of the New York Express, who has recently been sojourning in that thriv- ing village: - “Quincy is one of the most thriving of the New England towns. It deals largely in two of the principal exports of Massachusetts, gran- ite and shoes, and would export the third, in the article of ice, if it had not a harder and more profitable material to act upon in the quarries for which it is so famous. These quarries are the gold mines of the regions where they are, and one of the most valuable products of the soil. They give a handsome livelihood to more than a thousand persons, and labor prospers abundantly in their midst. Many more could find employment there if they would seek it, and conform to the most rigid but none the less comfortable requisitions of Grileee New England life. e ‘** A day’s work here means a day’s work.— Wages are according to labor and capacity.— The quarrymen earn in the commonest labor from $1,33 to $1,50 a day, and the stone ham. merers from $1,50 to $2,50 aday. The toil, however nearly from sun to sun, und in sum- me: as well as in winter, excepting that they have their hour for the morning and noon meal. Most of these are Americans, and the majority of them from the rugged soil of New Hamp. shire. The ‘Granite State,’ New Hampshire always sends greeting to the granite town of Massachusetts, and the whole country have ev- idence of the labor and skill of these literal hewers of stone and drawers of water fur the ornament of the cities of the land. One of the ‘jobs’ contracted for here is a new sugar re- finery for the Messrs. Stewart, of our city of Gotham. The New Orleans custom-house, which is tc be one of the most spacious and splendid buildings in that country, is also to be of Quincy granite: and two hundred men, in this far-off town of the Northeast, are toiling like Hercules to give a substantial and beau. tiful edifice to the commercial metropolis of the Southwest. The Pope and his Temporal Wanis.—A collection will be made to-morrow in the Ro. man Catholic Churches of this Diocese for the alleged purpose of supplying the necessities of the Pope. ‘The announcement of this intention has drawn from the Tribune and some other sources a charge, thatthe real object in raising funds is to put down the revolotionary faction in Rome. To this Bishop Hoghes has replied by letter, denying the impeachment, and plead- ing for his Holiness in his distress. We need not interfere in the matter, but cannot help wishing that the Governments of Austria, Spain, and Naples, had sent the Pope a consignment of food and raiment, in place of armed troops and the material of war. Religion, humanity, the Roman people, and Holy Pontiff himself, would all have been better served. As for the French we wait to hear whether they blow up St. Pe- ter’s, or make merry in the Plazza del Popolo —by the last accounts they were undermined. P. S.—The Hibernia’s arrival determines this latter point. FROM THE PACIFIC. Tho Editors of the Baltimore American are indebted to Henry Lareintree, Esq., of the U: S. Navy, who has just arrived from the Pacific for late papers and the annexed ite ms of news from that quarter. Mr. Barton our Charge at Santiago de Chili, having been unable to obtain from that Gov- ernment the amende held to be his due, in con- sequence of the course taken in reference to his marriage to a lady of that country, had closed the Legation on the 27th April, and was | to demand his passports fortwith. - The U. S. ship Dale was expected at Val- paraiso, with $1,500,000 of California gold— a portion of which was for the Atlantic States. The ship Ann McKim, which arrived at Valparaiso on the 15th of April, in 45 days from San Francisco, had $800,000 in gold. We find nothing of special political interest in the papers. ‘I'he Comercio of Lina contains an account of the execution of Col.

We,subjoin (says the Nation. al Intelligencer of the 6ih) the Telegraphic re- ports of events in France, Italy, and Germany : * Fratox.—The attémpted insurrection in Pa- ris Biss Been fullowed by a more-formidable re. sistance to the laws at Lyons, where a serious t took place in the streets between the and the mob, in the course of which a considerable nomber of lives were lost on both sides. Barricades were thrown up, which were not taken until battered down by cannon. ‘The ing commenced on the morning of the 15th ultimo, and continued until a late hour at ht. ‘Felegrapbic despatches, however, da- at Lyons on the afternoon of the 16th, an- néuace that tbe insurgents had been complete- ly routed, the streets cleared, and the city re- stored to tranquility. fifty thousand troops in and around Lyons, aud no apprehension of any further disturbance. Great excitement existed in different places, rendering it evident that the conspiracy of the Red Republicans of Parig extended to every tows in France. “An attempt was made to get up a disturbance at Marseilles, but it totally failed. One regi- ment of cavalry put all right without striking a blow. ‘-Atthe latest dates all was tranqnil at Paris. GLedru Rollin had not been arrested. ‘The chol- era was rapidly declining. Rouz.—The French have in vain tried ca- y and threats with the people of Rome.— have steadily resisted all advances, wheth- er of'arms or diplomacy. On the 11th, a sum. mong to surrender from Gen. Oudinot having been declined, the French effected a breach in the walls, and some of the troops enteredthe city. ‘This report led to the belief that the struggle was over, but it appears that on the 12th Gen. Oudinot issued a letter tothe Triumvirs, making a last: appeal tv them, and endeavoring to throw upon them the responsibility of the lives lost and blood spilt in the event of a refusal. kad o the evening of the 21st ultimo no news leas received in Paris of the entry of the French army into Rome. Genera! Oudinot was not expected to make a general attack be- fore the 16th or 17th, when the news of the fail- uré of the conspiracy of the 13th in France would reach that place, and probably induce thé Triumvirs to capitulate. “The London Globe of the 22d expresses it as the general opinion that the Telegraph would thé next day announce the capitulation of Rome. The Gazette of Lyons, of the 20th, states thata Telegraphic despatch from Marseilles, received just as they were going to press, an- nounces the entry of the Freneh into Rome. It was reported that a messenger had arrived at Paris from Gaeta, bearing important de- s for the French Government, and an autograph letter from the Pope to Louis Napo. leon expressing his regret at the bombardment e. Huneary anp Avstria.—The news from Hungary and Austria is contradictory. Some accounts give the advantage to the Austrians. Im the south two actions had taken place, both terminating in advantage to the Imperialists. The Hungarian General Perczel, from For- tress Wardein, attacked some Austrian en- trenchments, but was ultimately repulsed, though the Austrians admit their own troops suffered severely. ‘The other battle was fought by Baron Jellmchich, and is asserted to have been a brilliant victory. The Austrian ac. co@nts; however, are not trustworthy, at least as regards their own losses. The London Globe of the 22d has intelli. gence to the 16th of June, giving accounts of a tremendous encounter with the Hungarians.— The Austrians and Russians are said to have been completely defeated and lefi 23,000 killed upon the field. The battle took place on a Jarge plain between Raab and Reiselburg, and lasted sixty-four hours. ‘The Magyas loss, it is stated, was about 8,000 men. The Austrians were commanded by Haynau, the Russians by Rudiger, and the Hungarians by Gorgey. Al- though the news of this battle was received by ivate letters no public journal alludes to it.— | » Lioyd’s of Vienna contains not the slight. est allusion to the batile. Another affair is mentioned as having taken place at Czorma. A brigade was sent from Odenburg, and Colonel Bown Lessner, killed. Gen. Schlick sent his brigade to cover his right flank, and whilst marching to Raab was beaten | on the 13th ult. Some reports represent the whole brigade to have been destroyed, others that 4,000 had deserted Schlick and gone to the Magyars. men Continued to pour into Presburg trom the places round about. A fresh recruiting throughout all Austria is intended. The only mention or allusion which can be gleaned from the Vienna papers regarding the ies Fh between the 13th and 15th, near is the surmise that the defeat of the brigade of Gen. Wyes gave origin to fabuléus | rumors. Qn the other hand the authorities maiutain that the rout of General Wyss is only an episode of the other battle. “A letter of the 13th ultimo from Cracow, in the Breslau Gazette, mentions the affair be- tween the vanguard of the Magyarsandthe Rus. sians within the Gallician frontiers. At Gordonow the Russian Colonel Magden waskilled. Two hundred Cossacks were cut off and taken ers.

The New York papers have received their one-day later flews, by express and telegraph, usally pablished after the arrival of the Euro- pea steamers. ~ It is to the following effect ; “The French made renewed overtures to the Romaps, but the latter peremptorily refused to aecept them.

FRATERNIZING. The two sections of the party in New | York are about to bury the hatchet. Mr. B. F. Butler opened the negotiation in , New York city, on the part of the Barn- | burners, by offering resolutions, declaring | their opposition to the administration of | | | General Taylor, their great indignation at bis not keeping every Locofoco in office whom he found in, and resolving, that a ion of the party was necessary that this luni oe turning out Locofocos might | busi d. | be st The Ptoposition of Mr. Butler was cor- diay approved by the Barnburners else- _where, and has been responded to by the Old Hunkers. The State Central Com- mittee representing the latter, have issued Central Committees of the Barnburners and Old Hunkers should “ agree to recom- mend, that one delegate from each organ- ization be selected in each assembly dis- trict, to meet in separate bodies at Rome, on the fifteenth of August next, for the of union; and, if it shall be deemed ex- State officers.” Of course the proposition will be acce- ded to, and the union consummated. Now what will be the action of the par- ty elsewhere, when they see that in New York the great question which divided them in the election of 1848, has been surrendered by the one side or the other, and a union effected between them mere- ly to oppose Gen. Taylor’s administration? What will the South say? Will they a- gree that the men, who fraternize with these “ free soil democrats,” whose daily and hourly talk is about the iniquities of the peculiar institutions of the South, and who have sought every, and lost no, op- portunity to inflame the passions of the people of the North against the people of the South—will then the Southern Loco- focos agree to receive these free soil men to be controlled by their decisions? We need not ask what will Mr. Senator Foote say, for, though he has assumed the cham. pionship, he will scarcely have it allowed ; and besides he gravely intimated in the Senate, that the people of his State were fond of hanging, and would be likely to indulge their liking if a free soiler stray- ed off there. But we ask, will the leaders of the par- ty at the South, those who were most in- dignant in opposing the course of their free soil brethren in New York, will they still refuse all communion with Mr. Van Buren and his followers, and persist in denouncing them, and consider a union with them as a sacrifice of all the princi- ed?

R. Holt to the chair, and appointing William Harriss and Al- fred G. Foster secretaries. , Junius L. Clemmons, Esq., then took the stand and entertained his audience for more than an hour in a logoical, eloquent and effect. ive speech, evincing on his part deep thought and great research. He began by paying the Legislature a handsome compliment for the liberal charter granted us, and deprecated in the strongest terms any attempt to array parties or make political captial out of this question ; very properly remarking, that it was no more a political question than would be the proprie- ty of raising corn to fifty cents per bashel.— He then pointed out the many disadvantages under which western North Carolina labored, her capabilities for improvement, and urged at some length and with much force the benefits to arise from the construction of this Road,— showing that N. Carolina, without the facili- ties of transportation, was unable to enter the markets of the world having an equal chance with her sister States, who enjoyed such facili lies ; and that the tiJe of emigration from her preciation in the value of her lands more than equal to the whole cost of the Road. In con. truly eloquent appeal in behalf of those young men of our State who were now held within her borders solely by the attachment felt for the land of their nativity, and who must, without such improvement, be criven ere long to sun. der the ties which bind them to the old-North State and go to seek their fortunes elsewhere. It is doing injustice to the speaker to attempt asynopsis of his speech. It was one of his happiest efforts, and was listened to with breath- less attention by the large and deeply interest- ed audience present. Benton C. Douthitt, Esq., next took the stand though protesting his inability and want of practice in public speaking, yet he was ena- bled, from his long experience as a business man, to adduce facts in support of his argu- ments, which rendered them conclusive. He plead earnestly for the privilege of remaining in his native State. Without the Road he could not stay, but must expatriate himself and seek a more genial—not soil—(he could not say that,) but a more congenial people. John W. Thomas, Esq., next addressed the meeting, congratulating them upon the large number present and the interest evinced in the enterprise. He spoke feelingly of the Day on which they had assembled; contrasting in eloquent terms their situation with that of those illustrious patriots whose assembling on this day forms an era in the history of our country; and urged upon the meeting, like their ancestors resolved to be free—free from the sloth and torpor in which we of North Car- olina have been so long enveloped—free from those obstacles which now retard our progrets in wealth, knowledge and of course respecta- bility. He explained in detail, from bis own observation, the cost and process of construct- ing Rail Roads, and finally desired it made known that now and in all time to come he was prepared both to make a Rail Road speech and to do his part of the work also—express. ing his willingness to be one of a hundred to take the whole stock if necessary. Charles Mock, Esq., confined his remarks exclusively to the protitableness of the stock in the Road to the stockholders ; showing that it must be profitable unless we differed essential. ly in our social organization from any people the sun ever shown upon. Dr. C. L. Payne addressed the meeting rjefly, suggesting the formation of clubs for | taking stock; when various propositions by | gentlemen present for the formation of clubs of | ten, twenty, one hundred, &c., ranging in a- | mount from $3,000 each to $500; but upon The Chairman made a few remarks, calling the attention of the meeting to the fact that this charter, unlike that of most railroads, was a Upon motion of P.

In accordance with a resolution adopted at a meet- ing of the citizens of Newbern to select delegates to at- tend the Salisbury Internal Improvement Convention, an adjourned meeting of the same was held in the Court- house at Newbern, on Wednesday evening, the 27th of June, the officers of the former meeting officiating. The chairman stated the object of the meeting to be, to hear the report of the delegates from Newbern to the Salisbury Convention. Mr. John N. Washington being called upon, made a statement of the proceedings of the Convention—of the feeling that pervaded the delegates, and of the advan- tages that must accrue to this section of the country, by being connected with another so prolific as that of Western Carolina. He presented the necessity of im- mediate and prompt action with much force, and de- clared that the production of the country to be drained by the Rail Roai would be sufficient to supply all the markets of Wihaington, Newbern, and Petersburg and that if only a small portion reached here, it would be productive of great prosperity to this community. His remarks were well received by the audience. Mr. C. B. Dibble was then called out, who responded at length in a somewhat similar style, and giving a glow- ing description of the country and of its capabilities for production. He was glad to know that this Rip Van Winkle State was waking up, and that a spirit was abroad which would not be suppressed, and which must lead to the accomplishment of the Central Rail, Road scheme. After he had concluded, Mr. Israel Disosway offered the following resolution, which was unanimously adopt- ed :— Resotvep, That the thanks of this meeing, and of every friend of the great project of uniting the moun- tains with the sea-board, are due, and are hereby ten- dered to those of our delegates, who so promptly respon- ded to the call made on them, by their selection to at- tend the Internal Improvement Convention at Salisbury, and also for the zeal and ability which characterized them while in the discharge of their duties. After a brief colloquy and explanation with respect to the general and sub-committees appointed by the Salis- bury Convention, the meeting adjourned, sine die. JOHN R. JUSTICE, Chairman. Wm. B.

MAINE LEGISLATURE, ‘ We desire to call the attention of thei people of the South, and especially the Democrats, to the following resolutions’ adopted by the Legislature of the State of Maine on the subject of Slavery,—a ques tion,-of all-others, the most important to the slave-holding portion of the Union.— We are well satisfied that the resolutions will never find their way into the columns of the Locofoco papers, and that unles the Democrats see them through the me dium of the Whig press, they must fore er remain ignorant of the sayings an doings of their brethren of the North while it is from week to week, and from day to day, the delightful ®ecupation of the Locofoco press to misrepresent the ac- tion of the Whigs on this delicate ques tion. We submit the matter to the com mon sense of the public, and respectfully ask if they can have any confidence in those who are continually misrepresent- ing the Whigs as well as the present bead | of the Administration and its friends? If they desire the perpetuity of the Union, and the peace of the South, we know they cannot. We do not know that we have ever witnessed any thing like the unjust and unwarrantable course now pursued by those who style themselves | democrats, with Ritchie at their head. It is devoid of truth, consistency and honor; ti that such a principle ever did exist or was have they become. Here are the resol tions, they can speak for themselves : | Resolved, That we hereby declare for ovr selves and in behalf of the people of this Stal, | our uncompromising opposition to the extensi® | of slavery into any territory of the United States | which is now free. Resolved, ‘That in organizing governmenl | for New Mexico and California, the introd- tion and existence of slavery in those termi ries should be positively prohibited by. Congress. Resolved, That our Senators in Congress are hereby instructed, and our Representatires | requested, to vote against any act establishing ' goveryments for said territories, that doe? contain an express prohibilion of slaver? y | Resolved, That the Governor be requé® to forward copies of the foregoing ene to each of our Senators and Representative?! _ Congress, and to each of the Governort several States of the Union. { | Such are the sentiments of the Deroy 'crats of the Free States, as embodied # the above resolutions.

The danger of fos ra Wiember of Con- gress from this distri » which every good Whig looked upon as almost certain, has, we are happy to say, almost entirely van- ished, as will be seen from the manner in ed its duty. Epwunp Deserry, the nomi- nee, is an old veteran im the cause, and must, we are sure, command the support of every true Whig. When our prospects were darkest in the Union, and modern democracy seemed to have been destined to hold its iron-sway over us with all its destructive tendencies, Mr. Deberry never faltered, but with a steady and firm de- votion battled hard and long for the prin- ciples advocated by heroes and statesmen | of years gone by. Freemen of the Third District, now that you have an opportu- nity of testifying your devotion for those very principles, do it by giving your for- mer veteran Representative a tfumphant and overwhelming vote. FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE. which the Whig Convention has discharg- Thick and fast the news from Europe | crowds upon us. Hardly have we had, time to announce thearrival of one steam- | er before another arrives upon our shores | with information of still more important | and interesting events transpiring. What the issue of the struggle now going on | will be, no one, as yet can tell. Every | thing seemsto be involved in mystery, but we trust that correct principles may) yet triumph, and the despots now rioting | in the blood of the people be made to feel the folly of their wicked and unjust course. | The Hungarian territory seems to be the | great theatre of operations between Aus. | tria and Russia. but from the indomitable | courage and skill manifested by the Hun- | garians have so far baffled the power of both nations. | | THE FOURTH OF JULY Passed off with us without much ado, yet | notwithstanding we had no great parade, no publicspeaking, no public dinner, the re- currence of the day itself was sufficient to | refresh the memory of all of what had been done by those wholived seventy-three years ago, and toinspire us with feelingsof grati- tude to the Giver of all good, for the pre- | servation which he has vouchsafed to us -daring the past year—for the liberties | which we now so highly enjoy asa people, and respect for the memory of the heroes | of thatday. We should ever be animated | by such feelings when the Fourth day of July rolls round.

The Alexandria Gazette makes the fol- lowing wise remarks respecting the pres- ent position and views of Mr. Benton, as expressed in his late speech on the Wilmot Proviso 2 “We are very much pleased at the manner in which Mr. Benton and his de- Monstrations, have been received by the Wnig press of the country, generally.— There is no atttempt to propitiate, concil- late, or yield to him, in any quarter; and no appearance of courting his aid or de- siting his alliance. Mr. Benton has his. own aims—let him pursue them. There is nothing in his past public course, and we may add nothing in his present posi- hon, which entitle him to the sympathies or consideration of the Whig party, We repeat that whenever he does right we are Prepared to applaud his action—but not one step further. His dogmatism. con- ceit, and arrogance, are not passports to the favor of the Whig party—nor will his Present overtures to and quasi defence of the Wilmot Proviso and his Free Soil al- ‘et, contribute towards that end.” No. Col. Benton nor any man of the party can ever receive any countenance from the Whigs while he occupies such ‘position before the public. As a party, the Whigs are the real friends of the Un- ou as it is, and for adjusting every ques: hon upon principles of equity and justice. But on the other hand, the Locofocos at th extremes, are striving with might Main to create division, and to alien- ‘Me if possible, all feeling of friendship tach other. This has been verified 0 of late days, by the many inflamato- Speeches which have been made by © aspirants of the party. Mr. Seaton Gates, the son of the late : ESTON R. Gates, has purchased the en- Ire Establishment of the Raleigh Regis- ter, which was formerly conducted by his father with So much ability, and will con- linge to discharge the duties which for the last year, he has discharged with promise of great usefulness and Profit.

'good ground for hoping that the money m in Salisbaryjand itis prescribed as ouf duty to appoint Committees for this county to procure sibscriptions to the eap- ital “stock of. the North Carolina Rail Rond, and to take other measures forthe promotion of the enterprise. In obedience to this requirement of the Convention, we have appointed the following persons to serve as committeemen to obtain subscrip- tions, and we earnestly enjoin upon them a diligent performance of their duty.— While every other part of the route de- signated by the act of Assembly, from Goldsboro’ to Charlotte, is deeply interest- ed in the proposed work, to the people of Rowan County, it is presented as a chance between safety and ruin: For it cannot longer be hid from view, that farming in this country is a losing business. With good lands—sound constitutions—indus- trious habits, and every thing to favor the business, it is undeniably a fact, that a man can go any where else, and work at any thing else at a better profit than he can make upon farming in Rowan. This state of things results from our distance from market, and the difficulties of get- ting our surplus to market. Railways are taking the place of all other modes of transportation in every country where im- provements are going on. In several in- stances they are being run along canalsand navigable rivers. They are found to be the cheapest and the best mode of carry- ing on internal commerce. We want such a work as much as any people on the face of this Earth, for none are more unfortu- nately situated than we are in this re- spect. We are yet able to do much to- wards its accomplishment: but every year we wait, we, become less able to do our part, and if we lie by for a few years more we shall become too poor to do any thing. The committees will refer you to the Resolutions passed by the late Con- vention, from which it will be seen that . come subscribers by providing that they may pay for their stock in work, and in produce and materials for the road. The Rowan, and the very interesting question now remains to be solved, viz: whether the people of Rowan have sagacity to un- derstand their most important interests and the spirit to uphold them? This is a ques- tion of vital importance to you and to your children, and to the whole Western part of North Carolina. If Rowan does her duty, in all probability the work will go on, but if she, who is more than any one else interested in the matter, shall fail to come forth liberally, it cannot be expected that the work shall succeed.— Farmers who are within ten miles of the road risk nothing: for they will be indem- | nified in the increased value of their lands | and the increase in the price of their pro- | So that if the stock shall become | worthless they will be safe. We have | subscribed will not be lost—that it will | be in a short time at par, and whenever | We urge you, therefore, to come forward | and subscribe. You need never expect | that such another chance will be offered | tous. Already the cry is raised in other parts of the country that too much is done by the act of Assembly foras. If we lay hold on the offer now, we shall secure it— if, however, we fail to embrace its bene- fits, the next Assembly may not, and pro- | bably will not, let it remain open any longer. JOHN I.

Cavent Acaws.—The Washington Un- ion continues to groan over the “ infamous system of proscript jon,” as it calls the sys te instituted by Jackson, and practised by. all his Locofoco successors. A few days ago the Union said,— “ Premeditated Proscription.—We are informed that the beads of Departments have had a Jarge number of blanks print- ed, to be used for notices to those clerks and other persons in office whom they de. sign-to remove. We understand that this is the first time in the bistory of our Gov- ernment when printed notices have been required by the urgency of proscription and the namber of victims destined for betchery. It shows that the system of proscripiion is premeditated ‘and will be sweeping. If any of our friends will fur- nish us with a specimen of these modern “ lettres de catchel,” so common during the reign of Bastile in France, we will give it to our readers. When such prepara- tions are made for wide and sweeping po- litical butchery, how can the mendacious mini of this corrupt Administration have the hardihood to assert that remo- * vals'are made for causes other than polit- | jeal? - How much more manly and hon. | orable it would be if they would come oat and frankly admit that they want the of- fices, and therefore they remove their op- ponents.” On the next day “the Republic” inform. ed the Union, that the circulars which had so aroused its indignation were “ prepar- ed inthe Treasury Department, by the order of the late Secretary, as long ago as the 24th January. They were printed by his employers, and delivered on the 6th of February. The whole matter, then, it seems, was begun and completed by the last Administration. The present heads of Departments have had nothing to do pith them.”—Fay. Observer. Thus it is, that old Mr. Ritchie is firing way against President Taylor and his ad- ministration—literally, “ going it blind.” He does not stop to enquire into the facts of a case, and if they are forced up- on bis attention, as always they are, he appears resolved to pass them over as un- ceremoniously as though his mission had no connection with true and just repre- sentations to the people. Down with the Whigs—down with Taylor—down with truth and justice—down with honor; and up with democracy—save the spoils— save the office-holders.—are mottos blaz- ing out from his “Union,” week after week, as vividly as purpose and conduct can show them. General Taylor, of whom the whole country—Whigs and Demo- crats—so recently united in terms of praise, not less for his capacity, skill, and bravery, as a General, than for his hones- ty, virtue, and patriotism, and ability as a man of judgment and understanding, is now denounced as a weak, corrupt and even wicked man—unworthy the distin- guished post which he fills with so much credit to himself, and so much good to the Nation. This vituperation and abuse, both of his person and services, commenc- ed in the Union, is copied by nearly all the lesser organs of the party, and is rang round the land in strains as vindic- tive and doleful as it is possible for the ingenuity of man to invent; and with an industry and perseverance only equalled by that of a pack of hungry beasts in pur- suitof their prey. It is humiliating to the jast degree, to witness such a proceedure ; and the heart of every true patriot must fairly bleed to find that the most honora- ble and serviceable men in the country are thus bitterly and wantedly assailed by any portion of that people for whom their lives have been spent in severest toil, and for whose prosperity and happi- | ness years of devotion, have only purchas- ed execration and cursing. And wherefore all this abuse of Gen- eral Taylor? “Why, he has deemed it his duty, in sandry cases to remove from of- fice certain drones and fanatical parti- zans and to make such appointments in their places as, with the best lights be- fore him, he thought would conduce to the public interest. This is the head and front of his offending. For this he is assailed in the manner we have described. If he had violated his oath of office—if he had | trampled the Constitution under his feet— if he had distegar@ed the will of the peo- ple, or deceived them even in an imma- terial particular, then were there some foundation for it all. But he has done none of these things: He has sprung up- on the country no trap—brought upon it no war—inflicted upon it no calamity, and betrayed its interest in no particular. He has not tarnished its fair fame abroad, nor wounded its pride at home. trary, he has, in all respects, equalled the just expectations of those by whose suf- frage he is now President of the country; and it is consoling to believe that these, at least, to make no mention. of the fair and honorable among his opponents, and we know there are many, will still have the coment magnanimity to withhold all countenahice and support from those who wantonly assail and denounce him, when there is in reality no just cause. On the con |! TWILIGHT MUSINGS. Welcome hour of pensive twilight, Bringing calm and sweet repose, As in beanty fades the sunlight, Eve her mantle round us throws: Then how sweet affection’s greeting, Gentle tones and fond embrace, Blissful moments all too fleeting, On our hearts their memory trace. O! when stats are softly gleaming Heavenly sadiance from above, Then the spirit, sadly dreaming, Whispers to its cherished love Monrnful tales of joys departed, Bright hopes crushed and pleasures o’er— Dear ones gone! ‘The broken hearted— Earth can never weary more! Now on fancy’s tireless pinions Soars the spirit far away— Wanders on from earth’s dominions To the reaims of perfect day— Lists the sweet, melodious thnilling Of the bright, immortal throng, Richly blending voices thrilling In one joyous, heaven-taught song ! May life’s sunlight fade serenely Into twilight’s softened glow— Countless stars shine forth as queenly, Cooling waters gently flow ; Faithful friends be ever near me, As approaches dreary night, By their love and truth to cheer me, In my weal or woe unite!

Why what are you gv- ing to do with an Album—and you a mar- ried man?’ ‘That’s it, answered our friend, ‘I told her married men shouldn’t write poetry— | that the realities of life were averse to it —but she would insist on my writing a few verses, and so I half promised.’ ‘Promised who?’ energetically inquired Mrs. Jenks. ; ‘Why that confounded Miss Simpkins who is quoting Buchanan Read, and Bay- ard Taylor, and Willis, and a host of those fellows who write for the magazines.’ ‘And you intend to try it, do you?’ laughed the wife. ‘To be sure—why not me, as well as others! I can do as well as a good many who write for newspapers.’ ‘Well, upon my word, emphatically ‘What have you got there, my dear?” and fro, like the surge of The brooks leap forth like deer or child at play ! The redolent air, lambent and heavy; - Steals o’er the senes, drowsing the world, And in some measure——— $ ‘I could go on for a month,’ continued Jenks. ‘Blank verse is easy enough. All you have to do is to write. When one line is fall, or nearly full, begin another.” Mrs. Jenks sat in mute astonishment while her husband transferred his sere- nade, in a fair, round hand tothe Album. When Miss Simpkins read the lines she declared with a charming lisp—that ‘ it was the most dulthet sthrain she had ever peruthed in all ber born dayths.’ & a The Strong Argument. Said the wretched Douglas, who was hung at Lockport, November 20, for murder: “If I had never drank any thing stronger than cold water, I sbould not have come to the gallows. I never intended to kill Cunningham ; | he was my friend, and it never would have hap- pened had we not both been drunk at the time.” |“ Wherefore,” said a by-stander, “ we see from | this and ten thousand other cases, the dreadful | effects of intoxicating liquors; they lead tojails, to prisons, and to the gallows; they ruin the ‘man who uses them in this world, and destroy his soul in the world to come. Well did Ro- “bert Hall call them “liquid fire and distilled damnation.” | “JT know,” said the learned Judge Cranch, of Washir jton City, “that the cup (which con- | tains ardent spirit) is poisoned: I know that it may cause death, more than death, that it may lead to crime, to sin, to the tortures of everlast- ing remorse. Am I not then a murderer ?— | worse than a murderer? as much worse as the soul is better than the body ?—If ardent spir- it were nothing worse than a deadly poison | | —if they did not excite and inflame all the evil passions—if they did not*dim that heavenly light which the Almighty has implanted in our bosoms to guide us through the obscure pas- sages of our pilgrimage—if they did not quench the Holy spirit in our hearts, they would be comparatively harmless. It is their moral ef- fect—it is the ruin of the soul which they pro. duce, that renders them so dreadful. The dif- ference between death by simple poison, and death by habitual intoxication, may extend to the whole difference between everlasting hap- piness and eternal death.” Says the New York State Society, at the head of which is the Chancellor of the State, exclaimed Mrs. Jenks. ‘Get me a pen and paper, said Jenks! I'll soon show you.’ In few minutes the implements were | brought, and our friend threw himself into | an attitude. - Now, let me see,’ said he, ‘ how shall I begin?” ‘Ah! that’s it, said Mrs. Jenks with a laugh. ‘ Why,’ said Jenks testily, ‘ you would’nt have me begin before I know what I am going to write. Let mesee. Oh I have it— My heart its numbers sadly beats— ‘Do you think ‘numbers’ a good word, my dear ?' parenthetically inquired Jenks. ‘] think it’s originial.’ she replied. ‘Well, let it go then.’ My heart its numbers sadly beats— A melancholy weighs me down. ‘Now what will rhyme with ‘beats?’ Seats, keats, treats, meets, streets, sheets, leets, sweets—yes, that’s the word— My heart its numbers sadly beats, A melancholy weighs me down, And life would lose one half its sweets ‘Now, forthe other line. Stop—I have it— “ Disguise that business as they will, it is still, in its true character, the business of destroying the bodies and the souls of men.” And, says the author of the Permanent Tem- perance documents, “ Ardent spirits destroys the soul. Facts in great numbers are now be- fore the pubjic, which show conclusively that the use of ardent spirit tends strongly to hinder the moral and spiritual illumination and purifi- cation of men; and thus to prevent their salva- tion, and bring upon them the horrors of the se- cond death. A disease more dreadful than the cholera, or any other that kills the body mere- ly, is raging, and is universal, threatening the endless death of the soul. A remedy is provi- ded, all-sufficient, and infinitely efficacious ; but the use of ardent spirit aggravates the dis- ease, and with millions prevents the application of the remedy, and thus prevents its effect.— | Great multitudes therefore die the second death, who, were it not for this, might live forever.

True and false Pride. “ Of all the causes which conspire to blind Man’s erring judgment‘, and mislead the rnind, What the weak head with strongest bias rules, Is Pride—that never-fading vice of fools.” “ Here beggar pride defrauds her daily cheer, To boast one splendid banquet once a year.” A fearful mistake exists in some minds, to the effect that there is degradation in honest indus- try. Generally speaking, the error is the result of false education. Children are taught that this employment is not respectable, and ‘hat not genteel—and thus, at length, they fancy it is better to be idle pauper gentlemen, if we may be allowed such an expression, than industri- ous and independent citizens. And what, after all, is a gentleman so called, who has neither the means, the energy, nor the capacity to earn alivelibood? Our great cities are thronged with such unfortunates—for, as already stated, | they are the victims of erroneous education and false pride, We fear that the gentler sex are’ responsible for much of this error, the old as. well as the young, the mothers as well as the | daughters. Let any one mingle in a circle of ladies with pretensions to intelligence, respec. | tability and refinement, and ascertain their | views upon this subject—learn from the moth. | ors the class of citizens they would have as can. | didates for their daughters’ hands, and from the daughters the professions and callings whence | they would select their suitors. The result will verify our theory. A gentleman in name and by profession, although he may be an idler, lounger and a dependant, will in most cases be considered * better society” than a store keep. er, artizan, a mayufacturer, or a mechanic, be. cause these classes in paying due attention to business are perhaps, neglectful of some of the | hicetios and superfluities of fashionable life.— | But, we repeat, the error is with the parents. | Children are not made to distinguish between | false and true pride—between the dignity of la- bor and the degradation of idleness. The sons. rich men become ashamed of the employ. | ment of their fathers, while the daughters, as it toe often happens, will shrink, color and blush should such employment be especially pointed | out tothem. We may be wrong, but we regard , all this is altogether absurd, improper, affected | and unwise. If a man bs the architect of his own fortune, and from indigence to affluence by | the efforts of his own toil, energy and persever. tace, the circumstances should be referred to | vith pleasure and exultation, rather than pain | td mortification. Far better thus to com. mence at the bottom of the ladder, and ascend gradually and steadily to its topmost round, than, levaied by sudden wealth, to be compelled to descend by idleness, imprudence and profligacy. The distinction between false and true pride, is Dot sufficiently appreciated. The pride of Worth, integrity, intellect and character is noble tod laudable in its nature, while that of mere Asbion and money is narrow, empty and un. Yorthy. .Our brethren of the South, we per- ttive, are just beginning to discover and appre- tate the dignity of labor. They are ascertain. Img the difference between the North and the b, “the why and therefore,” that the hardy fons of New England, the Northern, Eastern ud Middle States, generally thrive abundantly, wd find themselves fitted to any section of the Union. * Why is it,” asks a leading journal. Mof Georgia, “that the Northern States, na- Nerally so far inferior to the geneious and gen- climate of the South, have so far outstripped Wt Southern sisters in wealth, education, re- Ment and general improvement?” His re- it, that “ idleness is the curse of the South,” the absurd and ridiculous notion that man. W! labor js dishonorable, has been the great drawback upon that portion of the Republic. — Tt hay « doomed to the crime of idleness hun- oe and thousands of young men who, but for % might have become active and energetic me- ics and manutacturers, laying up for them- Gites and ‘heir children untold wealth, thus taining in our midst the mone y which, under he present system, the energy and industry of the North righfully acquire from us, and with Which they build their railroads, canals, colle. 8, churches, and magnificent private man. ae The idea that no occupation is respect.

Go to the towns and villages thro’out our Southern States, and see who are the loaf- ers at the corners of the streets!- Are they not almost invariably men who have been driv- en by this low, vulgar prejudice into profess. ions already crowded, in consequence of which for want of employment, they are forced to be- come loafers—fashionable loungers.” . This is speaking out in a frank and manly spirit. The South cannot realize and act upon the doctrine too promptly. The men who re- gard Jabor as unworthy and degrading, the so- ciety that recognises and inculcates such a | fearful error, cannot but become the victims. The “ Mountain Banner,” an intelligent Journ. , al published in North Carolina, takes up the story and follows it out with still more force. le The standard of merit,” says the editor, ‘‘ con- | sists not in a man’s occupation, but in perform. ing his part well, whatever it may be—wheth. er he act in the capacity of a blacksmith or | doctor, tailor, lawyer or merchant.” ‘This is ‘the true doctrine. Good lawyers are rightful. | | ly just as respectable as good blacksmiths, or | good farmers, and not any more so—they are | all useful and honorablesoccupations, and he is | ‘the most respectable who best performs the du. | | ties of his vocation. Unfortunately, the delusion, the false pride to which we have adverted—is not confined to the South. It prevails extensively in the Nor- thern and Middle States, and especially in the large Atlantic cities. We have alluded to it again and again, but we fear with little effect. The rivalry among neighbors, nay, among | ‘friends and families, is sometimes not only fear. ful, but fatal in its consequences.

But we would teach them that industry is es- sential in any walk: and that where one man is successful through trick, management and luck, so called, ninety-nine reach the top of the ladder by toil, energy and perseverance.— Better, jn the first place, choose a profession adapted to the capacity, and having mastered it, pursue it with zeal, activity and enterprise. Far better be a skilful mechanic than an un- skilful physician—far better be a thriving store- keeper than a briefless lawyer—far better ap- preciate the dignity of labor than the vanity of idleness. The magic growth of the new town of Lawrence located in Massachusetts, is set forth in the following extract from a letter to the New Jersey Advocate: “In 1845 a comppny of capitalists in Boston made a purchase of some 300 a- 'cres of land about twelve miles below - Lowell, on the Merrimack river, asa site for anew manufacturing town. The next year, or just three years ago, operations -were commenced. The land was occu- _pied as a sheep pasture, and a poor one. at that,—only two or three farm houses, being in existence in an area of miles.— , Just three years ago, Capital laid the foundation of the town of Lawrence, ob-. serve what I found there to-day. The incorporated manufacturing capital in op- eration there, is six and a half millions, and sustains a population already from 10 to 12,000. The stranger is which are furnished with water power from an im- mense dam, costing $250,000, and is in it- self one of the most splendid pieces of masonry in this country.

Also a forge shop 232 feet by 55 feet, a foundry 254 by 90 feet—ware- houses, &c., 415 feet by 43—and a pat- tern house 150 by 152.

The Bay State Woolen Mills have 3 spacious blocks of boarding houses, each 250 feet in length, 3 stories. They have three mills, each 200 feet long, eight sto- ries high, or 105 feet to the ridge pole.— They have also a building 968 feet in length, with two wings at right angles, each 540 feet long, from 3 to 5 stories.— When fully complete there will be a par- allelogram of almost solid masonry, 1000 feet by 400, and will be the largest wool. en factory in the world. It will consume 2,000,000 pounds of wool per annum. But I can hardly give you an idea of the immense factories and machine shops which tower up in every direction. A word or two of the town proper. It is laid out in broad and regular streets, the sides planted with trees. A handsome park,of 18 acres occupies the centre of thetown, There are now over 1000 dwell- ings,—many of them elegant residences. is for us to be rid of it, in a manner con- sistent with futare peace and tranqnility. As to the extension of slavery beyond the Mississippi, it is miserable cant; it would tend to soften the evil and to accelerate abolition.”- . Verily this is as bad as Gen. Cass’ famous prayer for ‘ Abolition everywhere, which had so much prominence in the canvass of 1848. THE ALLIES. The New York Globe publishes the “Resolations of the Democratic Gen- eral Committee” of that city, three of which we annex: “3. Resolved, That President Taylor, by allowing his name and influence to be used for the benefit of the slave power, at the close of the last session of Congress. has only violated the spirit of his pledge not to interfere with the action of Con- Nine religious societies are organized, se- veral of them already having erected | handsome church edifices.

There are 12 Dry Goods Stores, 5 Book stores, 21 Shoe stores, 35 Grocery stores, 6 Confectionaries, G6 Apothecaries, 6 Jewelers, 19 Lawyers, eighteen Physi- cians, seven hotels, and so on in every de- partment of business. Gas works have been erected ata cost of $30,000, with which the whole town will be lighted.— A sewer also runssthrough the place, for the length of half a mile of solid masonry, high enough for a man to walk in it erect for the whole distance, andintothis branch sewers run from every street. A public Library has been formed, which alread numbers 8000 volumes. Three Railroads | now run intothe place and two more will be completed this fall, opening communi- cation with the commercial emporiums in every point of the compass. I could fill up, with statistics, and facts and descriptions of the town and its busi- ness, but this will suffice to give you some- thing of an adequate idea. Remember that all this has been pro- duced in three brief years, from the un- promising materials of a desolate sheep pasture, with not more than two houses in sight, and] think you will bear me out in saying that it is unparalleled in the his- tory of the world.” | should do what southern members of Con- Y al desire for such re-union in the demo- gress, but by threatening through his offi- cial organ, to visit the ‘free soil party’ with his indignant frown, in case they gress have done without incurring any such frowns, has abundantly shown that the cause of freedom in the now free ter- ritories of New Mexico and California, has nothing to hope, but much to fear from the present national administration. 4. Resolved. That to protect this great interest, and to ensure in the other re- spects a sound administration of public affairs; it is indispensable that there should be a re-union of the democratic party, and that we hail with unmingled satisfaction the beginnings of this re-un- ion in the measures lately taken in Wis- consin, Vermont and several! other States. 5. Resolved, That we have observed, with pleasure, various indications, through the press, and in other forms of a gener- cratic masses of this State; and while, as a committee, we disclaim all authori- ty or right, to propose, or to receive terms, of union, to or from our former political associates—no such power having been delegated to us by our constituents—we think it proper, on the present occasion, to declare our readiness, as individuals, cordially to co-operate in all just, equal and honorable measures to promote this end.” We recommend the above to the earn- est consideration of southern democrats. They will see it here proclaimed by their own brethren that the enemies of the South have nothing to hope, but much to this is not so. Dr. B. was not heard of in the canvass, or, if he was, it was fn some retired corner, from whence his name never travelled abroad. ‘ It is by such proof! as the foregoing letter | that the opposition attempt to convict the Hero of the Rio Grande of “ violated pledges.” kt is thus that they attempt to drive from his side those independent and patriotic citizens, who preferring their country to party, came out and nobly supported bim. They will fail in their undertaking. The men who thus sustained Gen. Taylor are full grown men—men of nerve and determination, who are not easily frighten. ed or driven from their position. It is said, that those who stand upon slippery places make nice of no vile hold to stay themselves up. Such is pre-eminently true in regard to the factious attacks of the opposition. ‘They feel the ground giving way under them, and make nice therefore of no slander, however monstrous, to hang a hope upon, or to Slay up their cause. “A JUST PROVIDENCE AND A RIGHT RESULT. The Columbus (Miss.) Whig, in some inter. | esting reflections upon that eventful hour in the history of Gen. Taylor and his country, the bat- tle of Buena Vista inakes the following extract from a letter written by the old hero on the eve of the battle : “ This may be the last communication you will receive from me ; I have been stripped by the government of regular troops, and reduced in volunteers ; and thus stripped, and at the mercy of the foc, have been expected to retreat or resign; but I shall do neither. I care not for myself, but feel deeply for the noble sol. diers who are about to be sacrificed for their country; shall stand still and give them battle, relying on a,just Providence for aright result.” Such sentiments, we agree with the Whig exhibit one of the noblest characters on the re- cords of history,—a spirit, calm under the gross. est provocation ; inflexible in its allegiance to duty; fixed as rock in all its purposes ; full of courage and full of humanity. The result of Buena Vista proved that such a spirit is not presumptuous in looking with confidence to the Almighty for support. Says the Whig: “The justice of providence on which he per- iled every thing at Buena Vista, vindicated it- self in something more than bis delivery in the hour of battle instead of being buried amid the wreck of that eventful day, its next anniversary beheld bim in a triumphal progress towards the Capitol of the nation. A wise providence has seen fit to assign to him a weightier commis. sion than the discomfiture of foreign enemies. He has been called by the people to restore the country of Washington to its pristine purity, and to re-conduct the ship of state to her an- cient moorings. ‘First in war,’ bis high aim is to bring back the country to that peaceful If an actor wanted to satialé: and malicious envy toward a fival p he had but to open his purse, and han ficient to afford'a good fee fur each dozen or so of these mercenary, pilferi and to procure tickets for eighty or ® | dupes, who are not yet sufficiently in the mysteries to look for further remun and the object of bis jealous hate fend | hissed and hooted fromm the stage..

If some such order in Cogn- cil be not immediately issued to meet this growing evil, England will be so much put upon by France, that she will soon have not a feature left on her face that she will be able to call her own. These cheap excursions must be stopped, er else there must be a by-law instantly that any one who comes back witha moustache, forfeits his return ticket. Punch. , WHO'LL MUSTER NOW?

The South Carolinians should explain their conduct at the late election, before they call up- en their southern brethren to imbrue their hands in blood, and jeopard their souls in treason.— Let them, if they can, convince the world that the love of office and the spoils is not the mov- ing cause of all their political agitations—let them explain why it was that they opposed the election of a Southern Slave Holder and Plan. ter, when it wa3 a fundamental doctrine with them, that a Southern man of any profession in politics, is more safe for the South than a “northern man with southern principles.” Let the absurdities and contradictions thus exhibi- ted, be adjusted to reason or common sense— and then our neighbors may set to work to con- vince the world that there is one spark of de- mocracy in the swaggering aristocrats of South Carolina, who rule the mind and heart and mo- tion of the people there.— Welmingion Com- mercial, COL. WEBB AND GEN. CASS. Co}. Webb, the senior editor of the Courier and Enquirer, is on a tour through the Lakes. He wriles a number of interesting letters to his paper, an extract from one of which, we publish | to-day. Inthe following, the reader will find an interesting account of Gen. Cass, whose warm | personal friend the writer is, though he oppos- ed his election : | “Tn all the relations of private life, no man, stands higher in my estimation than Lewis | Gass. * * * * * * If, in the late contest, he had represented his | own principles, instead of the principles of the | Democratic party, | have no hesitation in say- ing that I should have rejoiced in his election. But that was not the fact. A party man in the | strictest sense of the term, he consented to be- | come the candidate of his party, and would, if | elected, honestly and honorably have carried out its pledges. He is, [ am quite sure, as” mach opposed to the extension of Slavery into | territory now free, as 1 am; and he is, beyond | all doubt, the friend of Internal Improvements | and of a protective Tariff. And yet, strange. ag it may appear, be was the candidate of the | _“ Union,” hardly a solitary voice is raised to blame it. In connexion with this matter, we copy from the Alexandria Gazette, as being entirely borne out by our own personal observation and im- pression, the following remarks : “We are pleased to Jearn that, in proportion to the constancy and rudeness of the assaults of the Opposition upon our excellent President and his Administration, the determination of the Whigs to rally around him and his Cabinet is strengthened and increased. So far from the Whig spirit being repressed, it is’ rising, and will be heightened by the desire to uphold™the efforts of General 'Tayuor to do his duty fuith- ully in the discharge of the great trust which the people have committed to his hands. The Opposition presses will find that they commenc- ed their game too soon, and in too bad a temper. They have chosen their course, however, and it is for them to pursue it, it they think it will accomplish their ends. They will discover, before they get through, that General Taytor is as strong a man at the head of the Govern. ment as he was at the head of our gallant troops —strong, we mean, in the affections and confi- dence of his countrymen.” CANADIAN DECENCY. It is said that Lady Elgin, the wife of the Governor General of Canada, has been so in- sulted by the British populace in her daily drives that she has been forced to relinquish them. What manly and decent conduct! Insulting a defenceless woman on account of her hus- bands political opinions and course! Where is Mrs. Trollope? Col. Hamilton? Marryatt ? Dickens? Did either of those inventive gen. iuses ever lay such a sin as that at the door of us poor, vulgar barbarians of America? No, they never pretended it. It never happened, it never could happen in this country, that ven- geance against a public man should be visited upon his wife. Think of Americans following the carriage of Mrs. Jackson. Mrs. Harrison, Mrs. Polk, Mrs. Taylor, &c., and hooting at them, because the political course of their hus- bands did not suit the fancies of men out of power! Every one sees that this could not happen here. But we are too fast! It may happen here ; for these very Canadian blackguards talk of an- nexing themselves to the United States. ‘Evil communication corrupt good manners.” We WANT NONE OF THEM! We would much rath- er see them annex their necks to a millstone, and throw themselves into the Atlantic, than force themselves into the embrace of a great and decent country.— Richmond Republican. THE WASHINGTON UNION. Medical philosophers say that in epidemics it is dangerous to change old established hab. its suddenly. If this be true, our friend of the Washington Union is the finest target we know of for cholera, and he may be considered a gone case. While Mr. Polk held the reins, the Un- ion was in a perpetual strain of laudation.— Nothing occurred under Mr. Polk that the Un. ion did not praise. ‘Throughout the whole of that administration, it never found a single thing to blame or censure. Our contemporary has turned an awful somerset. He now finds party which was pledged to a course hostile to no term of reproach hard enough for General his own views on all these great questions ; and Taylor. Nothing has yet heen done by the if elected, he would have honestly carried out | Administration that is worthy of one word of “-wate jife,? their pledges instead of his own views. Un. der such circumstances, I of course, in common with all who are opposed to the doctrines of | Loco.Focoism, labored zealously to defeat its” candidate. I could have rejoiced ia the elec. | tion of Lewis Cass to the Presidency ; but I) rejoiced without bounds in the defeat of Lewis | Cass, pledged to support the principles of the | Loco-Foco Nationaf Convention instead of his | own sound political views and opinions. But. this is all past. I still entertain, as [ ever have, the warmest friéndsbip for Gen, Cass, and know that a more honest man does not live, although I differ fr. m bim in toto in regard to party obli- gations. In my judgment he is in principle a Whig, bound by party ties and party fealty to | the Democracy; and I knowghim too well to believe that he will ever be gpfnithful to what he deems his obligations to party. Iu all hu. man probability, therefore, we shall always he | politically opposed ; but [ take pleasure in bear.

Joe’s Failing Discovered.—Our old friend | Jue is what is generally termed a bad boy, and succeeded in blinding his mother for some time, as to his imbibing propensities, and one morn. _ some half dozen cups of coffee, and as many | glasses of cald water— | “Joseph, thee should drink something be- so thirsty in the morning.” But one night, one fatal night, Joe came in before the old lady had retired. He sat gown with that look of semi-intoxicated wisdom, be- gan conversing about the goodness of the crops | the late unfortunate outbreak in the meeting, and was getting on very well until he espied what he supposed to be a cigar on the mantle- mouth, began very gravely to light it at the candle. He drew and puffed weil he was get- ting pale in the face. ‘The old lady’s eye was opened, and she addressed him— “ If thee takes that tenpenny nail fora cigar, it is time thee went to bed.” One of the toasts drank at a recent cel- ebration was—~ Woman! She requires no this end of the North Carolina road are pay- ing as good, if not better dividends, than those at the other, it would tend to give more confi- dence to that scheme. It ought to be known that the Petersburg road, which is now paying at the rate of 8 per cent. per annum, draws all its business from North Carolina in the pres- ent incomplete state of the rail roads of that State. This ought to be satisfactory proof that these roads, if extended, would be as productive at least—we are satisfied that they would be more so. A great deal of travel between the North and South, now goes by sea and by the western rivers, dispensed in many channels. The completion of the North Carolina road would collect this travel into one stream, which would grow broader and deeper as it flowed and fertilize the whole line. As a State measure, as a work that will em- phatically benefit the State, and be more pro- ductive than any similar work in the country, we look upon the North Carolina rail road; and that is the aspect in which to view it.— The travel to and from the South will, it ia true, be beneficial to it,—but it will be secondary to the great business of the road, that of carrying the mineral and agricultural products of the State to market. This road, starting from a point of convenient and cheap access, not only to all the ports in that State, but to the ports of Virginia, and also to Charleston, S. C., will run through the centre of the State as far as Salisbury ; and thence no doubt it will, in time be continued to Tennessee. Almost every county in the western part of the State will be in striking distance of it, many them even if the road would go no further than Sailsbury, by means of the Yadkin, which is navigable for boats for at least 100 miles above, where the road would cross it. The Central rail road, unlike the rail roads in Georgia and in Virginia and most of the States, would have no competitor for this vast business for there is no other route in the State upon which one could be made, and none, in- deed, would be wanted. Viewing the road in this light, and as a part of the great thorough- fare between the North and South, we do not think there can be a safer and more profitable investmeut.”” LIST OF LETTERS eee se in the Post Office at Salisbury, July Ist, 1849.

Swain, Sam- | rates of subscription, we shall have to rely solely for re- | quently they were in full force on the first day of March last. ; It is true, that, in contemplation of law, the | tax lists are delivered over within thirty days after they are returned; and they are to be re- _ turned to the first Court which may happen af. | ter July. So that, in contemplation of law they /are in the hands of the Sheriffs before No. vember in the year preceding the April when the Sheriffs are required to begin their collec. tions. Generally, however, these lists are not delivered till the year they are collected. By the general law concerning the Revenue, Rev. Stat. Sec. 25, tax lists are referred to the first day of April, and the taxes on property owned as of that day, become collectable, except in some few cases, one year thereafter. I am of opinion, however, that the tax levied by the Act of 1843 for the establishment of an insane hospital, becomes due and collectable during this year ; and although the Act directs the Clerks to include the tax in the tax lists which they are required to furnish the Sher- iffs, (a thing impossible .literally to be done, where lists were furnished before the passage of the Act,) I deem it, nevertheless, the duty of the Clerks, to furnish such a list to Sheriffs, by way of supplement. And, perhaps, it might be right to send to the Comptroller an abstract although there is no law requiring it. If, how. ever this is not done, I suppose the tax might be exacted of the Sheriffs upon the abstracts already returned, for the tax imposed is specific on land and poll, and ascertainable without dif- ficulty. The provision of the law for levying collect- ing and accounting for this tax, is not as plain as it might be ; but it appears to have been the purpose of the legislature to levy a present tax, and that lists, to that end, should be made out and furnished the Sheriffs. I do not think the Sheriffs are excused if they fail to collect the tax, even if no lists are furnished them: for they have the means to execute the law by the lists already furnished. I have said above, that tax lists, in contem- plation of law, are delivered to the Sheriffs within thirty days after the first Court which may be held after July. In point of fact, they never are delivered till about the first day of April ot the succeeding year. This practice has been adopted from its obvious convenience ; for the delay enables the Clerks to include the taxes laid for County revenue. And doubless the Legislature had in view this practice, when they made provision for levying and collecting the tax for the establishment of an insane hos. pital. Nothing but the delay of publishing and distributing the Laws has occasioned the in- convenience to Clerks and Sheriffs in regard to this tax. Respectfully yours, B. F. MOORE.

NEY GENERAL. | Prymoutn, 3d July, 1849. B. F. Moore, Esq: Dear Sir :—I am re- quested by sundry persons, to write you and | ask your opinion in regard to the legal con. | struction and meaning of the lst and 2d Sec. | tions of the late (and complicated) Revenue | law, in regard to the tax upon Interest. The law says, all Interest received, or due, | or safely secured at any time during the year | preceding the year of giving in your list, is tax- able. And the receiver of the list insists, that though a Note has ten years interest must be ‘taxed; and jfa note is believed to be good, and | not secured, the interest on this must also be ' given in. ‘This, we think, the law did not con. template. And, in order to a correct under- standing of the matter, | have been requested to lay the matter before you, and ask your ad. vice. Will you please tell us what we must give in and what the law means. | Your early advice upon this subject will be thankfully received. as our lists are now to be ' taken. Your ob’t serv’t, J. B. BEASLEY Raceien, July 9, 1849. Mr. Editor :—Several inquiries, from differ. ent persons, having been recently addressed to me, io regard to the construction of the Reve- nue law, upon the points stated below, I have deemed it best to answer them all, through a public communication ; and I send it to you for publication. First—In respect to the first Section. What interest on money invested is taxable? Is it the interest which may have accrued during the [We understand that there is a difficulty | of a latter by respansibility of the-debtor, + ae Sapa: fe Bh + ether the taxis only. on such in- terest as may have been séceived ; or, also, on such as may have acerued, and is dué on invest- ments deemed-to.besafe?,.. ©. <= Fourth—In respect, to the second. Section— relating to.tax on profits of certain traders env- merated, and.‘ all r species of trades.”— Does the ‘act impose a tax on the profits of the trades, &c., madadinns the passage of the Act; or on all profits made during the entire year preceding the time of rendering tbe list? As-to the firet inquiry, am of the opinion that the tax is upon such interest only as may have accrued during the year immediately pre- ceding the time when the owner shall give in his tax list. The words “at any time during the year,” do not connect with the words, “ se- "cured and actually due, or received,” but with the words, ‘upon all sums of money at interest.” So that the clause, substantially, reads thus: —‘ Hereafter there shall be levied the sum of three cents upon every dollar of interest, which may be safely secured and actually due, or which may be received, upon all sums of mo- ney, any time at interest, (in or out of the State) during the year next preceding the time when the owner thereof shall give in his tax list.” Interest, accrued prior to the year preceding the time of the tax list, is not taxed by the law. As to the second inquiry—I am of opinion, that money invested on an individual obligation, without surety, or any such collateral security as mortgage or deed of trust, is “ secured,” in the meaning of the Act. As to the third inquiry—I am of opinion, that not only is interest received, taxable, but all such interest as is “ safely secured and actual. ly due.” In the construction of every instrument, and more especially those of so solemn a charac- ter as contain the expressed will of the Sover- eign, it is our duty to suppose that every word has its apt and proper meaning, and is design- ed to effect some purpose. The expression “safely sscured and actually due,” has a clear signification of itself, and is not equivalent to the term “ received ;” but when standing in connection with that word, the difference in their meaning is the more obvious. ‘The pur- pose of the Act was to tax income; but that which had been received, and that which might be demanded and received .—therefore, it is, that the Act uses the terms, “ safely secured AND actually due.” If it is not actually due —that is, demandable—it is not the subject of taxation, although secured. If it be demanda. ble, and yet not safely secured, it is not liable to be listed. It is true, that it may be both demandable and safely secured, and yet the owner be una- ble to receive it. Nevertheless, it is regarded as profits already made. The law forbore the inquiry, whether the payment had been indulg- ed or refused, and treated both alike, in order to secure the public from imposition ; leavin to the owner a guaranty, supposed to be ample for his protection, in the reference to himself, of the question whether interest is safely se- cured—that is, whether it is a good debt. All indulgence to the debtor, being left as a pri- vate matter between the parties, as one of their own concern. In respect to the inquiry on the second Sec- tion of the Act, it will be perceived that it is, substantially, answered by the opinion already expressed on the inquiries made under the first section. In my opinion, the proper construc- tion of the Act is to be found in the following reading of it, which I believe contains the con- structive sense of it :—* Hereafier there shall be levied the sum of three cents upon every dollar of profits or dividend safely secured and actually due, or received, which may arise from any and all sums of money, vested in trading in slaves, &c., (in or out of the State) at any time during the year immediately preceding the time when the trader shall give in his tax list.” I do not think the Act applies to a citizen here who may have been a citizen of another State, and carried on a lucrative trading there, during the year; and who happens to be a cit. { | The tax is | izen here, on the day of rendering his tax list. He is liable tc be taxed on so much of his pro- fits only as were realized during the time he may have been a citizen of this State. B. F. MOORE.

They are utterly opposed to its location being. made through Rap dolph and Lexington; for the reason it will be a fraud apon the State, and will be useless so far as they are concerned the distance to Fayetteville,by that rote being increased at least one-fifth, and the toll, should they ever travel the road, be proportionably higher. If the road should be built on the pro posed line, they would prefer seeing it ter- minate at that point by which the inter est of the State and the Stockholden would be most promoted and they have no hesitation in believing that by ‘bis rule it would never reach Salisbury— They are willing to be taxed for a usefal work of internal improvement, bot are opposed to building such a monument a folly as that alladed to. es , ~ » ‘ ah tn a) _- _ le ok ee ee e ao : 2 an ek be ie : a a, ee l s el t ee ai a i i im e PLANK ROAD MEETING The Sub.

The Governor's ply was brief but eloquent, tendering best wishes for the prosperity of the a and the succeés of its schemes of Laan ment, and coming, as he said; !0 ° ” the hand, the heart; and the purse of State.” Three cheers were give™ # the Governor, after salutations of bs * merous friends, partook of a collation” pared for the occasion. «bid The Fayetteville Carolinian from" we gather the foregoing, says: . “On Thursday, the Stockholders ree Ak Mm Fayetteville and Western Plank ibe Esarpaey met in tho large Hall of ; da motion was made to appoint ay tre mat nan of thé iesting, bat before the was taken, he rose and politely declined the honor, stating that he had come to participate jn the deliberations of the meeting, and asked that some other gentleman might be ap- pointed.” On Thursday afternoon there was an- other public dinner at the Fayetteville | Hotel, of which the Governor and stran- gers were invited to partake. 07 The Bank of Fayetteville, we un- derstand, will: soon commence business.

Some of the most scurilous articles which we have ever seen in print, are now appearing in the * Washington Un- jon,” one of which, headed “ Humiliation,” we find re-published in the Fayetteville *Carolinian.” These articles are direct- ed against President Taylor and his ad- ministration ; and if bitterness in the heart, malignity in the soul, and the most un- blashing scandal of his enemies, can ef- fect any thing, his administration will be blacken and sunk to the lowest depth.— Thai any paper, professing a claim to the support of the moral and intelligent peo- ple of this country, should give place to such articles is most surprising. That many of the Democratic supports of the “Union” should be disgusted with their organ at the seat of Government is rea- sonable ; and their contempt for it speaks a language as encouraging to the true patriot’s heart as it is consoling to all lovers of morality and decency. will not copy, for the sake of exposing these articles ; but will leave that trouble for those who choose torun the risk. Such Heaven-and-earth-offending articles, we trust no madness will ever induce us to spread out in the columns of our humble sheet. EIGHTH DISTRICT. We learn from the accounts of the dis- cussions in this district that the campaign is waxing very warm, and that Mr. Lane is no kind of a match for Mr. Stanly. It is thought that Mr. Stanly will be elected by a larger majority than Mr. Donnell was last year. Mr. Lane, it appears, goes before the people as a farmer, and urges it asthe only reason why he should be elec- ted—acknowledges his inability to make @ speech, but says hé can vote. We are no great admirers of windy speakers, ei- ther in our State Legislature or in Con- gress, but we think when a man presents himself as a candidate for such a high of- fice, he should have some qualification, other than simply saying “Yes” and “No.” He ought to be quite a respectable man in talents, at least we have always been accustomed so to think. Sir John Franklin’s Expedition.—On the intelligence received from Fort Simpson, under date of the 4:h of October last, (which was published in our paper of Tuesday last, says the Intelligencer of the Tth inst.) the Boston Daily Advertiser re- marks—* That it seems effectually to pre- clude the supposition that the party of Sir ‘the West that the eating of fresh pork | John Franklin could have entered the Arctic sea as far west as the mouth of Coppermine river. Fort Simpson is on Mackenzie’s river, at some distance north- westerly from the Great Slave Lake.— | The extent of the coast of the Arctic Sea explored by the party who had just return- ¢dto Fort Simpson, from the mouth of | the Mackenzie river to that of the Cop- petmane. is not less than five hundred miles. The fact that no vestige of Sir John Franklin or any other European was discovered or heard of, appears to afford conclusive evidence that the party could not have reached so far towards the west- Ward as those regions.” SIGNS IN MISSOURI. Senator Atchison, of Missouri, Presi- dent pro tem. of the United States Senate, (ays the Charleston Courier) has sent to Press a manifesto against the doctrines the late speech of his colleague, Sen- ator Benton ; and Willard P. Hall, mem- of Congress, from the same State, al- hhe refused to sign the Southern ress, is now understood to be on the Ame Platform with Senator Atchison “inst the great Missourian — whose Wnfall at home seems to be shadowed a by coming events. Cholera.— From all parts of the coun- | Wy, affected With this dreadful and de- tive disease, it appears to be on the | Mcrease, rather than on the decline. As Ye as we haveheard of, no case has occur- in this State, and we trust we may spared a visit from its ravages. The blowing will give the reader some idea ¥ its fatality in the places’ visited - The Cholera.—At Albany, on Tuesday, 11 “es 4 of which were fatal, were reported. ' Buffalo, on Monday and Tuesday, = 51 rel and 23 deaths were reported. The number of cases for the two weeks end. We | | ing Joly 2was.101, deathe + "from the com. bag ty pt ee were reported fer the: forty-eight jours ending on Monday. ~~ | At>Cincipnaft an experiment was tried on Thursday nigtit and Friday last as to the effect of fire in purifying the atmosphere. A number of firés were built in the streets and kept burn. ing for some time. The tuel used consisted generally of a parcel of dry wood or pieces of ' boards, with about a cart Joad of stone coal fur _ At some places sulphur and at oth. ere Mee herasls were added. The expedient | seems to have been of little value. On the day | that it was resorted to (Friday) 96 cholera in- | terments were reported, while on Sunday they ; amounted to 99, and om Monday 134. | RAVAGES OF THE CHOLERA. The St. Louis papers of the 29th ult., | are filled with | the ravages of the cholera in that city.— | Trade of all kinds is suspended, and gen- eral gloom pervades the community. | he New Era of the 29th says: “We | yesterday noticed the death of Mr. Robert | Ranson, of this city, book-keeper of Mr. | |W. S. Gilman, one of our most extensive grocery houses. A few weeks since he _ was the head of a family consisting of a | wife, four children, and a step sister, in the full enjoyment of health, all of whom | now people the City of the Dead. Mo- ther, children, and sister have all been | swallowed up in death, each in their turn | being swept off by the “pestilence that | destroyeth at noon day.” | The Organ of the same date gives an- | Other instance not unlike the one above: | “A German had buried in succession his | wife and four children, he with two help- | less infants being left of a once happy and _industrious though poor family circle. It was the mournful story over again—ano- ther of his innocents had been claimed by its Maker. The necessary papers were made out and handed to him. Manly | fortitude, struggling with nature’s fond- ness for all he loved, now torn from him, gave way, and the big tears, dreadful to look on at all times from a man, rolled over his cheeks unchecked, as he exclaim- ed, “ You have got them all from me but one ; that perhaps you'll have to-morrow.” He came the next day; that one, the last one, had followed the others to a better world; and he, scarcely conscious of his actions, stalked forth a living representa- tive of death.” A Natchez letter of the 25th ultimo, in the Philadelphia Inquirer, reports dread- ful havoc on the neighboring plantations; the loss on some being 75 per cent., on others 50, and on many 33, and on very few less than 15percent. The total loss- es on the plantations of the writer and his family, in Stack Island Reach, amounted to 106 on the 2d; 103 of them of cholera, which had prevailed there fifty-two days. Mrs. Minor’s plantation had lost 100 ne- groes out of 210! The letter adds these pitiable statements : “On Miller’s place the deaths were 38 out of 55; on Phillips’s 34 out of 64; on Briscoe’s 15 out of 18; on Haggert’s 73 out of 220. The disease seems to be spreading all over the country, and in- creasing in malignity and violence. | have lost on Stack Island Reach eighty to ninety of the best men and women.— But the pecuniary loss is a mere bagatelle compared with the suffering in feeling at parting with slaves endeared to me by long ownership, and whose faces were as familiar to me as my ownchildren. The disease is of the most malignant type ; more than half died in less than eight /hours from the first symptoms—a_ good /many of them in three to three and a half | hours, and several in less time.” It appears to be generally believed at | produces cholera, and the authorities of St. Louis have forbidden the sale of hog | meat in that city under a heavy penalty. The New York Journal of Commerce of Monday says: “Father Mathew celebrated Mass in | St. Peter’s church, in Barclay street, at 8 o'clock yesterday morning. After having | read the Gospel of the Sunday, he deliv- ered a feeling discourse, in which he con- |trasted the blessings bestowed by Provi- dence in his mercy on all classes in this land with the miseries and woes that op- press his countrymen in Ireland. He al- .so spoke of the many charitable and reli- gious institutions erected in this republic, _and the profound feelings of gratitude with which he received the distinguished | attention of his American friends. After the service he administered the pledge to several respectable individuals. He re- mains at the Irving House until Wednes- day, when he is to be received by the au- _thorities of Brooklyn, and commence his efforts in the cause of Temperance. For _a few days, however, he will remain with Dr. Pise for the purpose of repose. To- | Morrow, it is understood, he receives the | ladies. “ He visited the Convent of the Sacred | Heart of Manhattanville, the Sisters of Charity at Yorkville, and other Catholic | institutions on Friday last. His health is improving. “On the 24th he will leave for Boston, _whence he will proceed to Saratoga, stop- 'He will be entertained in the house of | Ex-Chancellor Walworth.” | Governor Seward has in the press a volume, | on the life and services of John Quincy Adams. - Do You Hear ? | At persons having any of my Books, Surgical Ia- | struments, or any other property belonging to me, will please leave the same without delay, at Dr. Wheel- er’s Office, and oblige ISAAC BURNS.

In truth, his face bore the brand of Cain—a bloated, swol- len one, marked with severity and cruelty in every lineament. “John Hinchman,” said Marion, in 4 tone and with a look of disgust, “ what have you to say for yourself?!” “| bope you ain’t agoin’ to murder a pri- soner, general!” said the trembling vil- lain. “Marder you! The witnesses are here —proceed to trial, gentlemen,” said Ma- rion to the board of officers. The first witness was a boy of tender years, fair to look upon & gentle asa girl. His father, mother, and eldest brother had had been hung two days before by a band of tories headed by the prisoner. It was a case of base ‘brutal murder—for the boy’s Ohoffending parents were merely whigs, who had never taken any active part against the tories, but had only shel- tered some friends of their own way of thinking. The evidence was clear and | conclusive that they were hung by order of the ruffian prisoner. The boy’s evi- dence was corroborated by that of a slave who escaped and witnessed the execution of his master and mistress from a clump | There was no defence, and a verdict of guilty, with a sentence of ex- ecution at sundown, was brought in. “Mercy ! mercy! as you may wish for it yourself.

Look your last upon the tree tops and the all but fa- ded sun, and make peace with God. Take him away men, and throw the noose over one of the upper branches ot yonder black oak. When the gun fires, string him up ” They dragged the miscreant away, screaming with terror, and the roosting birds rose from their lairs, mingling their discordant cries with the yells of the now shortlived wretch. The rope was thrown over the branches and the noose placed around his neck. The sun went down, The war in South Carolina was a bloody and exterminating one. The English to- ries, or loyalists—Carolinans by birth—to their sbame be it said, commenced the game of putting to death the whig pri- soners they took, with unparalleled fero- city: Neither sex nor age were spared. Whole plantations were burnt, and the owners hung up on the trees before their own-doors. The whigs did not long sub- mit to this, but commenced a war of re- taliation. Bloody errors and wrongs were committed on both sides, murder and re- venge were synonymous terms, and the strife was mutual. To the credit of Ma- riga he it said, that he never hung a tory in command, except when there was full proof that be had been concerned in the murder of a whig. Then wo! to the poor wretch.

The following’ incidents pertaining to the: disposal of a notorious tory named Hinchman, are related of Major Castleton, familiarly called “ Mad Jack,” who had been sent to Marion with despatches from Gen.

HINTS TO DAIRYMEM. Four years ago the number of cows milked in the State of New York within a small fraction was a million. It now considerably exceeds that high figure ; for the dairy business has been greatly _extended since the census of 1815. No branch of real industry presents greater | facilities for improving a farm, for increas- | ing its capacity to keep more cows, and enlarge the annual receipts of the hus- bandman. By carefully saving all the manure, both solid and liquid, made by | domestic animals, it will be easy to raise /an immense amount of excellent food for cows, on a comparatively small surface. For this purpose, corn, carrots, potatoes, pumpkins, clover, and herd grass are a- ‘unable to grow corn crops at all! larly females, {roma family,,rema for good milkers. In this way-the dairies of the country will improve rapidly.— | Much depends on thekeep of thi Aaat es ring the two first. years they are milked, will secrete more, if it be drawn three times in twenty-four hours between each milking, than she would if milked but twice a day.

WHOLESALE DESTRUCTION OF BIRDS. Mr. Cree, of Stowmarket, finding that in his district a system has been exten- sively introduced of poisoning birds by wholesale, observes in a letter which he has just published, “I take the liberty of predicting that in the course of a few years the farmers of this country will be You must not be startled at a supposition so bold as this. I will preface my explana- tion by a short statement made in works upon natural history upon the very best authority.

Att who wish printing of any description done, are BRUNER & JAMES ADVERTISING ply, it betook itself in pure necessity to coffee. An edict was speedily issued and carried into effect, for the annibilation of grakle, and every bird on the island was destroyed. All went on very well for a year or two; when, lo and behold, the in- sects and their larve having the field to themselves began to make sad havoc with the coffee plants. What was to be done ? There was no alternative but that of bringing back the grakle, which was in due season imported. The coffee plan- ters had, however, gained something by experience, and they resolved to prosper by the same; they managed to keep the grakle within bounds, and they well knew that he would do the same by the insects. And they were right. By preserving a juste-milieu doctrine between the two, they were enabled to grow coffee. Now l apprehend the farmers in the present day are much in the same position as the coffee planters of Madagascar. There has been for some time a systm practised in this neighborhood of poisoning birds by wholesale: thousands upon thousands have thus been destroyed, and the system continues. Can anything, I ask, be more absurd and irrational, I had almost said stupid, than this abominable practice? If, the farmers run blindly and wilfully into the proved and fatal error of the coffee planters of Madagascar, if they permit the grub and the wire-worm to destroy the crops of this country—and this they will do most assuredly if they annihilate insect feeders—then they will not only effect their own ruin but they will inevi- tably cause a great national calamity— London Record. i | Missourt Hemp Crop.—The growing hemp of Missouri is said to look well, and a larger area has been sowed in this ar- ticle, the present season, than was put in last.

In the dense coppice near it, you sce the ancicnt piles MM which cover the early dead of the scttle- | ment. The tower is a somewhat picture esque object by itself, though it depends for its charm chiefly on its historical 2SS0- | ciations. It is enough of the ruin for the remantic, and, seen by moonlight, the arches and the “rents of ruin,” through which ivy and lichen, shrub and creeper, make their appearance, are objects which fancy will find precious to those even Wu0 never (urn the pages of our musty chroni- cles, and hear nothing of the mournful whispers of the past. What stores of tra- , dition, wild song and wild story, are yet to be turned up with the soil of this neigh- M borbood, or laid bare in the search among Mthe ruins of this ancient tower. Talking of stories reminds me of one told by one of my fellow-voyagers, as a genuine tra- dition of the region, though, for aught I know, it may have had its origin only in bis invention. lle was certainly one of those persons who will never scruple ata manufacture of their own, when the thing wanted is not exactly ready to their hands. “You are aware,” said he “that in the first settlement of Virginia, the pioneers were greatly ata loss what to do for, wives. Women, particularly young ones, are not ofien willing to peril themselves | jaa region where the chance is that in| seeking a husband they may lose ascalp; | and old girls, even in such a region, are, not often desirable to those even who re- | ally need a helpmate. At all events, our working men of Virginia, at an early date, commissioned their friends in Iingland to supply their wants if possible; and the) proprietors, considering the demand a not unreasonable one, efforts were gpade for complying with it. AdvertisenT@ts were accordingly put forth in the mother coun. | try, announcing the nature of the demand and soliciting the supply. Able bodied | young wgiten, of good character, were assured of finding themselves well match- | ed ‘2 the sylvan empire of Powhatan, | w -hwas described as a sort of paradise. | A‘«nall bounty was offered, and all ex- penses of the voyage paid. A goodly | number offered themselves, who were suposed to come up to the description.— Bu there was one exception among twen- ty. This was a really comely old maid— not too eld, considering the great purpose for which the sex was created—to whom there was but a single disqualification.— She had but one leg. The other was a stick of english oak. The commissioners hemmed and hawed, but could not resist the determined will of the good woman. They were naturally dubious whether any of the bold adventurers along the James River would be altogether willing to splice with a damsel who was somewhat wanting in her fair proportions. Buther ¢onvictions finally became theirs. She was justified by the faith, taught by Chau- cer, that there was no goose, however gray, who might not find some gander in her progress; and she sailed accordingly with the rest. The stout yeomen of Vir- ginia were on the look out, when the ves- sel, filled with their fleslly hopes, arrived in the river; and as each had yet to make his choice, and as a wife is always more orless the subject of choice, each was anxious to get on board the ship in ad- vance of hiscomrades. Never was there tuch a scramble. Wives rose in demand aod value; and but little time was con- sumed in seeing the parties paired, and, two by two, returning from the vessel to the shore. How proudly they departed, our brave adventurers, each with his pret- tycommodity tucked under his arm. All Were taken, almost at sight, except our girl; butshedid notdespair. She put to her; swectest smiles, as the unsupplied seekers circled about her. They had no objection toher face.

She ought to be finished at the least. Nothing should be wanting.” ‘But a moment’s reflection made him more He seized his crutches and | indulgent. made towards the vessel. Then he be- thought himself again and made towards his cabin. But the tempter prevailed, and he hobbled slowly forward. With help he was brought into the vessel, and the presence of the waiting spinster. She | had been long enough on the anxious benches. They had been a sort of tor- ture to her patience as well as her hope. “ Why,” said he discontented, “ you've got but one leg.” She answered pertly— “ And you’ve gotnone.” This threw him into a cold sweat. He now feared that he should lose his prize. “ What of that,” said he, “ better a lame donkey than no horse. Isitamatch? I’m for you.” It was now her time to demur. She walk- ed all around him, he wheeling about the while with the utmost possible effort, to show how agile he could be, legless or not. The man was good looking enough, minus his pins; and after a painful pause, to one of the parties at least, she gave him her hand. The fellow’s rapture was complete. A chair was slung down the ship’s side. Scarcely had this been done, when one of the former seekers re-ap- peared. He was now willing to take the lame damsel; but our cobler suffered no time for deliberation. He did not dare exercise any foolish generosity in leaving it to her to choose between the two. His choler was roused. It was his betrothed to whom the wooer came, and with atre- mendous flourish with one of his crutches, our cripple made at the intruder. This demonstration was sufficient. He was allowed to retain his prize. The candi- date hurried off, cooling his thirst, with whatever philosophy he could muster.— When the bridal took place, many were the jests, at the expense of our cripple couple. Even the priest who united them was not unwilling to share in the humor of the scene, making puns on the occa- sion such as have been cheapened some- what by a too frequent circulation. “I know not, good people,” he said, “whether you can properly contract mar- | riage, seeing that you both lack sufficient understanding.” ‘ No man should marry with a woman,” said one of the spectators S be married under a christian dispensation, I cannot see,” was the comment of a third, “ sceing that neither of them are pr par- ed to give proper heed to their soles.” “It will be a marriage to bind,” said a fourth, “seeing that neither can well runaway « She won't trouble him long,” said he who had come a moment too late,—*“ she has already one foot in the grave.” The crutch of the cripple was again uplifted. “ Make us fast, please, as soon as possi- ble. I reckon if there’s but one leg be- tween us, there’s no law agin our chil- dren having a full complement.” Where- | at the betrothed blushed prettily, and the ceremony proceeded. A COFFEE PLANTATION. A coffee plantation (says the Ilag of | the Union) is one of the most beautiful | gardens we have ever conceived of. An estate usually covers about three hundred | acres of land planted in squares of eight acres, and intersected by broad alleys of palms, mangoes, and other beautiful and ornamental trees. Mingled witb these | are planted lemons, pomegranates, cape jesamines, and a species of wild heliot- rope fragrant as the morning. Conceive | of this beautiful arrangement, and then | of the whole whenin flower. The coffee with its milk white blossom, so abundant | that it seems as though a pure white cloud | of snow had fallen there, and left the rest of vegetation fresh and green! Inter-' spersed in the alleys is the red of the Mex. | ican rose, the flowering promegranate and | the large gaudy flower penon, shrouding its parent stem in a cloak of scarlet, with | waving here the graceful yellow flag, and | many bewitchingly fragrant wild flowers twining their tender stems about the base | ofthese. In short, a perfect El Dorado. | Our own experience was gained on the | estate of a Scotch physician in Cuba, who | in accordance with the custom of the isl- | and, had named his island and called it) Buena Esparanze.

M. de ‘Toc- | queville said that, having carefully considered | the subject, he had been unable to discover the , slightest trace of that Holy Alliance of which honorable members had expressed such jeal- ousy. In the course of his speech De Tocque- ville talked of the frankness of the Russian Go- ernment—an expression that was received with shouts of derisive laughter. During the debate Gen. Cavaignac made a most important speech, which may be consid- ered as the resume of the principles of that sec- ‘tion of the republican party which, while it de- sires peace, is prepared for war; which, while ‘it supports order, insists on progress. [le said : “I fully agree with the honorable gentleman who has said that a great country like France should not remain ina state of insulation. It was necessary that we should get out of that position. It wasessential that we should from an alliance with some Government ; but the question was, what Government? To whom should we address ourselves? ‘To Russia 1— To Austria?) Those two Powers were engag- led in struggles.

It has been said that the English Government only accepted | our alliance in order to be able the better to | watch us. Certainly England would not be- come our ally had it not been her interest so |to do; but that interest is reciprocal ; and, if ) England has an interest in watching France, _ France has an equal one in watching her.— That reciprocal surveillance is the basis of all ‘alliance between Governments. In reply to our application, England accepted our offers of i alliance, as she did, doubtless from a wish to | preserve peace.

The great battle in Hungary reported by the last arrivel to have taken place on the 13th, 14th, and 15th ultimo, turns out to be apocry- phal. At a subsequent date, however, there sult, the victory being claimed by or on behalf of both sides. The following are the latest ac- counts: Vienna papers and letters of the 24th instant state that the details of the last battles on the Waag had not yet reached Vienna, though it would appear that the result is the frustra- tion of a most obstinate attempt of the Hunga- rians to cross the Waag. On the morning of the 20th instant they had actually got posses- sion of the right bank of the river, but they were eventually obliged to return to their for- mer positions. In the mean time, Gen. Gor. gey had come up with reinforcements, and the Imperialist leader, Wohlgemuth, with his 15,- ing entirely on the defensive, until, upon the arrival of Russian reinforcements, a fierce bat. tle ensued, which continued till night parted the combatants. ‘The’ fight recommenced on the afternoon of the following day, and lasted throughout till the evening, and the whole of the next day. The Hungarians fought with | furious obstinacy, but they could not prevail against the united Imperialist forces, and, after a three days’ battle, Gen. Gorgey was compell- ed to lead the troops back upon ‘Tarkashed, Negyed, and Guta. He crossed the Waag at the two first mentioned places, and finished by { ! “Tho callant General then stated that he the order o | the Constituent Assembly, and explained that | in his opinion the danger was in the reconstruc- ‘tion of the Northern Powers, and in the annibi- It is against that gentleman) that I wish to guard the Govern- I did not wish for war, and if lama partisan of peace, of honorable peace, it is be- cause I am convinced tk it even if all the States of Europe were in insurrection against their Governments, they would rather have return- ed to their former allegiance than submit to us.

That is, in my 0- pinion, the source from whence danger is to be apprehended, and it is against that danger that I thought it proper to warn the country. By saying this I do not mean to assert that I be- lieve in war. Are there nomeans left for treat- ces, and when you have them bring them here Have you alliances?

The garrison, consisting of 4,000 men, were taken prisoners, with the exception of 1,000 who were put to death. The enemy also took 5,000 muskets and one hundred and fifty can- non, destroyed the most important points of the fortress, and then encamped on a neighboring height, where a fresh encounter with the Rus. sians was expected.

It is assumed that the island will forthwith be annexed to the Dutch possessions. CHINA. We learn from China that the Emperor had refused to carry out the stipulations of the two treaties which provided that Canton should be open to foreigners. In the communication of Srv, the Governor of Canton, to Mr. Bonham, he says the Emperor had determined that, as the people of Canton had refused to receive foreigners into the town, how can he force an opposite course to the people? From the na. ture of the proclamation it is quite plain that the authorities were prepared to resist the en- trance of the foreigners into the city. But a great sacrifice of human blood had been avoid. ed, by Lord Palmerston having given special direction that nothing more should be done than to report the repudiation of the treaty to im.

It cannot be dis- guised or denied that the people of this place preferred the route by Watson’s Bridge rather than that by Carthage, as was plain, not only from all the votes in the meeting, but also from the strong expression of feeling and opinion, both in public and private. The large vote cast by the Board of Internal Improvements, aided by the votes of the few friends of the Cen- tral route—but still more by the support of ma- ny stockholders here, who united with them in a spirit of compromise—resulted in giving to the Road its present location. Now that the matter is settled, why need we suffer our disappointment to work a prejudice to our interests? When before did we ever engage in any scheme of Improvement, in which we have come so near to enlire and complete success as inthis? Will the Plank Road do us no good? Are we willing now to relinguish the chances of a better day and throw ourselves back to the position we held | six months ago? Who will say we are not better off, far bet- ter, with the Plank Road located as it is, than we should be without any Road atall? Isit nothing to have the trade of Randolph, David- son, Guilford, Stokes and other rich counties of the State? Let our citizens think dispas- sionately and coolly of this matter. We are not ruined, we are not undone; and though keenly and sensitively, let us not punish our- | selves for an event which we sought earnestly and faithfully to avert. If wronged—if injus- tice has been done to us in this matter—if our wishes and feelings have been thwarted by those who proclaimed in our midst that the in. terests of Fayetteville and the interests of the State were identical—one and inseparable—if our hopes have been excited by seductive pro- mises of co-operation from the ‘* powers that be,” and these hopes have been suddenly dash- ed, let us reserve our vials of wrath for the au- thor or authors of the mischief, and not to spend it upon ourselves. We need not, we cannot reproach ourselves—we have done our duty in this matter. Though we were strongly and warmly for the Northern route, we submit cheerfully to the decision that has been made. We are fully of opinion the Plank Road will do us great good. Let us then set to the work in earnest —let us accomplish and complete it without delay, and it shall be the source of blessings innumerable to us and to our posterity. CROSS CREEK. From the North Carolinian. From the Editorial remarks in the Observer, it would be presumed that the citizens of Fay. etteville were quite satisfied with the location of the Plank Road, and very quietly acquiesced in the decision of the Governor and Board of Internal Improvements. So far from this be. ing the fact, at no time was the community ev. er more excited—never has such feelings of bitterness been exhibited. Their hopes and expectations have been blasted. It was con- | fidently expected, as they were the principal private stockholders, they would be permitted | to locate the road in such a direction as would afford some prospect of revenue. When Governor Manly, in a short address made to the multitude assembled to greet his coming, avowed that he had come with the purse of the State and at the same time, with feelings of the utmost kindness towards the old Town—ready and willing to co-operate in all measures to improve its condition, and with no disposition to control the action of its citizens, the fears excited were allayed, and we thought there was no disposition on the part of the State to give the Road a direction from which the Old Town could derive but little benefit.— The declarations of the Governor were receiv- ed with the ulmost enthusiasm; and for atime no man was more popular. Had Gov. Man. ly in the outset apprized us that we should not be permitted to locate the road in any other di- rection than the southern or central route, we should have submitted with the best grace we could; but after ostensibly taking a neutral position, during two days of excited and angry discussion—after using his influence to sup. press a part of the Report of the Engineer, fa. vorable to the northern route—after refusing to permit the road to be located to a position com- mon to both—after stating that we had not sufficient information to decide correctly on any | particular route—afier exhausting the patience of the stockholders, and exciting the fears of the timid that nothing would be done—at last giving the vote of the State tu locate the whole line of the road through a barren country for 70 miles at a cost of $15,000 more than the route settled on by nine stockholders out of ten, can we come to any other conclusions than that he acted with insincerity. ** Be those juggling friends no more believed, That palter with us in a double sense, That keep the word of promise to our ear, And break it to our hope” A STOCKHOLDER.

In all the appeals in behalf of this work which we have heard and _seen, little: stress has been laid on the_prebability of the stock being above par. e are in- formed that our friend, H. C. Jones, in an address to the citizens of Cabarrus, took up the subject, and satisfied many, that the probability is in favor of the Stock’s being profitable. He adverted to the fact that the Stock of the Georgia Rail Road from Augusta to Atlanta, is quoted in the Rail Road Journal at $121 per share, that is 21 percent. above par, although its pro- fils are greatly reduced by the Road from Atlanta to Savannah: that the Columbia branch of the South Carolina Rail Road in the same Journal is quoted as being above par. He also noticed the fact that the Virginia Rail Roads which will con- nect with this work are also profitable, and that one, especially the Petersburg Road, which derives all its income from North Carolina, is dividing an annual pro- fit of 8 per cent. He showed that with the exception of cotton, the country over which it is proposed to run this work is more amply endowed with the institutions and trades which give custom to Rail Roads than the State of Georgia. He showed that the land was better—their schools equally as good, if not better— their number of villages and towns great- er and more thrifty. The productions of agriculture as well suited to the market of the South, as good and as abundant as on the Georgia-Road. In the articles of Irish Potatoes, Apple and Peach Brandy, Cranberries, Butter, Cheese, Beef and Tallow, he doubted whether any country in the world could compete with Western North Carolina. He mentioned that it had been argued in favor of the Georgia Roads, that they brought into use an ex- | tensive scope of navigable water, which | had been formerly cut off from the busi- | ness below by falls and rocky barriers, and he was willing to yield to that state- ment full as much force as any one else, but he doubted very much whether the Geor- gia roads derived more business from this source than our State work would derive from the Yadkin River. He dwelt at some length upon the great advantages offered by this stream, with the character and resources of which he said he was well acquainted from Locke’s Bridge to Wilkesborough. He also quoted the opin- ion of Mr. Dibble, who is practically ac- quainted with the business of navigating rivers with steamboats of light draft, hav- ing forced his way far up the Neuse Riv- er with this kind of craft against the opin- ions of every body in thatregion. He re- counted the number of Gold Mines of per- manent character, and the Factories strung along this route as alsothe Mint at Charlotte, which were advantages he be- lieved not enjoyed by the Georgia Roads, or at any rate, ina very slight degree, | compared with the proposed Road in our | State. He said that a friend had men.- | tioned to him that Messrs. Toombs and_ Stephens (two of Georgia’s most distin- | guished members of Congress and two of | the most intellectual men of the age) had | declared to him that “all the experience | of Georgia was a most strange illusion if the North Carolina Rail Road should fail | to be a profitable investment.” The judg- | ment of the Editors of the National intel. | ligencer and of the Petersburg Intelligen- | cer he quoted as of great authority upon | this point. | For ourselves, we fully concur with the | reasoning of Mr. Jones upon this point, and we protest most strenuously against | the presentation of this great work as one of charity, or at least of only local profit- ableness. We may be deceived, for we profess not infallible forecast, but we go further than Messrs. Toombs and Ste- phens, and say that we must be grossly deceived and imposed on unless this en- terprise shall prove profitable. We take peculiar pleasure in again lay- ing before our readers the remarks of the Petersburg Intelligencer upon this sub- ject, and we commend them to our read- ers. We are not a little anxious to learn what the cities East of us will do for the work, especially Raleigh, Wilmington, Petersburg, Norfolk and Portsmouth. Ra- leigh, above every other community, is | interested in this measure. We are in- formed that the gentlemen appointed as | a Committee for Cabarrus County, Messrs. Barringer, Coleman and others, are avail- ing themselves of the musters and other public gatherings to address the people upon this subject, and that the very live- liest feeling prevails in favor of the mea- safe. We have no fear for Cabarrus._ If other counties.and ‘towns. interested..do their duty as bravely as Cabarrus, there: will be:-rio-doubt ‘of the fesult..

To these may be added the Greenville and Roanoke road, which has paid off a large debt. and-just commenced pay- ing dividends. We wish the [ntelligencer would notice these facts. We do not mention them with any spirit of boasting, but we think if that paper, with its extensive circulation, would ‘nform its readers that the rail roads at this end of the North Carolina road are pay- ing as good, if not better dividends, than those at the other, it would tend to give more confi- dence to that scheme. It ought to be known that the Petersburg road, which is now paying at the rate of 8 per cent. per annum, draws all its business from North Carolina in the pres- ent incomplete state of the rail roads of that State. This ought to be satisfactory proof that these roads if extended, would be as product- ive at least—we aro satisfied that they would be more so. A great deal of travel between the North and South, now goes by sea and by the western rivers, dispensed in many chan- nels, The completion of the North Carolina road would collect this travel into one stream which would grow broader and deeper as It flowed and fertilize the whole line. As a State measure, as a work that will em- phatically benefit the State, and be more pro- ductive than any similar work in the country, we look upon the North Carolina rail road ; and that is the aspect in which to view it.— The travel to and from the South will, itis true, be beneficial to it,—but it will be. second. ary to the great business of the road, that of carrying the mineral and agricultural products of the State to market. This road, starting from a point of convenient and cheap access, not only to all the ports in that State, but to the ports of Virginia, and also to Charleston, S. C., will run through the centre of the State as far as Salisbury ; and thence no doubt it will, in time be continued to Tennessee. Almost every county in the western part of the State will be in striking distance of it, many of them even if the road would go no further than Sailsbury, by means of the Yadkin, which is navigable for boats for at least 100 miles above, where the road would cross it. The Central rail road, unlike the rail roads in Georgia and in Virginia and most of the States would have no competitor for this vast business for there is no other route in the State upon which one could be made, and none, in- deed, would be wanted. Viewing the road in this light, and as a part of the great thorough. fare between the North and South, we do not think there can be a safer and more profitable investment.” PLANK ROAD ROUTE. The following resolution was adopt- | ed at the recent meeting of the Plank Road Company, in Fayetteville, to locate the Route: ; “ Resolved, That the President and Direc. tors be instructed to lay out immediately the Road from Fayetteville by Murchison’s Facto. ry, from thence to Carthage, from thence by or near Ashborough to Johnsonville, and from thence by or near Fair Grove by Lexington to Salisbury. Provided, the sum of $80,000 of individual subscription on that route be com- pleted, and upon a survey it shall be found practicable.” Thus it appears settled, that the impor- tant and extensive country West of the | Yadkin river, for the benefit of which the late Legislature expressly designed the Plank Road. is to be, to all intents and purposes, defrauded of the boon, it in a spirit of praise-worthy generosity, design- ed to confer. Let not the world be sur- prised that the spirit of internal improve- ment in North Carolina is at so low an ebb. Let not any be surprised that our citizens appear indifferent to what is evi- dently their real interest. Let not those noble spirits who are now laboring for the success of the Central Rail Road de- plore what appears to be insensibility on the part of their fellow citizens. The in- fidelity of those to whom is committed the prosecution of her few attempted works | of internal improvement, is sufficient to keep North Carolina forever in the shade. The fraud practiced upon sub- scribers of stock and the State is sufficient to deter them from putting their hands to any work. the management of which is | committed to a company. The Yadkin | Navigation Company—the Fayetteville and Western Rail Road Company, of past years, remembered to be hated,—and now | the Fayetteville and Salisbury Plank Road Company, with its recent manifest fraudulent designs, if there were none others, are sufficient to throw a damper upon the success of similar works so long as the remembrance of them is kept green by renewed attempts to arrest the declin- ing condition of the State. Bent on the accomplishment of its own selfish parpo- ses, Fayetteville is determined to stretch, ; to the parting point, the ties which bind | her to the contract with the State. She would even thwart, if possible, the noble | generosity of the Legislature conte:mpla.- | ted for a much larger and more important part of the State, by using against the State’s interest her own liberality. -She route-for a part of thé way, ‘and: through a country almost tall t eWay, never con- templated’ hy the Legtslature, dnd for a, es, yet ‘ ai extent ag ap tts a me et = c = duties ‘of the office he aly, in culiar interest, Such as the present. | 4, ene * inion as to his cape Zercise th times of pe- | 5° ~ OPPOSITION. - We have heard, within a few. days past, that Mr. Josera CaLpwett, our Whig can- didate for Congress, has opposition in the person of a.Mr. Hutt, of Catawba coun- ty...

Let the Whig votes of | the District all go into the boxes, and they will tell a tale on the evening of the elec- tion day, at once satisfactory and pleas- ing to all who desire the triumph of true Republican principles.

Bet Oc ig I - ; i .of this meet- “Iehnsonville, Fair Salisbury, adopted. by the Stockholders of the Plack Road Company, is not the “ most prac- ticable” one, within the meaning of the char. ter of said road. Resolved, ‘That we regard the route propos. ed as one never contemplated by the. makers of the law, as it certainly was never the intontion of the Legis!ature to construet two rival Pub- jie Works, running parallel within a few miles of each other, for a considerable distance, as will be, in case both the Plank Road and Rail Road should be constructed. Resolved, That thegdoption of the route by Asheboro’, Fair Grove and Lexington, will be i injurious to the interests of the State Saieies favorable the | of the country more uolavor a route yet proposed, as can no doubt strated by fair and accurate surveys. That it was clearly the intention of | yre ia chartering the Plank Road, to give the people of the State West of the Yad. kin a cheap and easy communication with Fay- etteville, which will be wholly defeated if the circuitous route by Lexington is adopted. Resolved, As the deliberate opinion of this ‘assemblage that not a solitary man who voted in the Plank Road meeting at Fayetteville for the location of said road either by Franklins. ville or Ashboro’, have the slightest idea of ever constructing said road from either of those Jaces to Salisbury ; but that in our judgment all who gave those votes expected and intended that Ashborough or Franklinsville, whichever was agreed upon, should be the North Western termination of said Plank Road. Resolved, That we will not submit to such a gross perversion of the purposes of the Le- gisisture in granting the Plank Road charter, and are determined to resist the location of the route by Asheboro’, Johnsonville, Fair Grove and Lexington by every legal means ; regard- ing it as we do, as a flagrant violation of the charter. Resolved, That a committee be appointed to institute legal proceedings to prevent the con- struction of said road along the route designa.- ted, and that we will indemnify them against any pecuniary loss. In compliance with the last resolution, the Chairman announced the following Committee : Mr. William Murphy, Jno. ]. Shaver, A. H. Caldwell, Esq., Mr. §. Brown, D. A. Davis, Esq., Mr. H. H.

On motion, the proceedings of this meet- ing were ordered to be published in the “Watchman,” and that a copy be sent to the Governor of the State, and tothe Pre- sidetit of the Road.

WM. SHARPE, Sec. Now, Messrs. Editors, we move that all persons residing in what was then Rowan |county, go into “A Committee of the Whole ;” and that throughout the coun- ties of Davidson, Davie, Rowan and Ire- dell, diligent search be made, in all and sundry, the various desks, chests, trunks, bureaus, boxes, and wherever else, old papers, are likely to be found, in order to bring to light a copy of those Resolutions, signed by the patriotic young Ladies of Rowan in 1776, and so highly commend- ed by the Committee, as “ sensible and po- lite, and worthy the imitation of every _young Lady in America!” Certainly a | copy must be preserved in the family of some of those young ladies; and we do | not despair yet of calling it forth from its | place of concealment. | And the fortunate finder, who will for- | C. ward it tothe Watchman for publication, | shall be entitled to the thanks of the com- | munity, and will inevitably be elected our | honorary member of the Historical Soci- ety of the States. An association signed by 51 Ladies of Edenton, N. C., October 25, 1774, was | published in the Fayetteville Observer a 'few months since. A notice of a similar one signed by the young Ladies of Meck: lenburg, will be found in Foote’s Sketches of N. C., page 511, where it is also added \“ The Ladies of the adjoining county of | Rowan have devised the plan of a similar | Association to be drawn up and prepared oe signature.” | The record before us shows that they had one drawn up and signed, and that | they received the approbation of the Com- | mittee of Safety, one of the most impor- | tant bodies in the country at that time. | Is there enough of the “ Spirit of 1776,” | left to search, and find a copy of that pa- | per, if it be in existence ? EXAMINER. the Jersey Scttlement ; but we are unable to determfne the residence of those in that part of what was then Rowan remote from us. Messrs. Epitors: It affords me pleasure to inform | you, and through you the readers of the Watchman, of | the formation of a Section of the ‘ Cadets” of Tem- | perance in this Town. This juvenile association was | organized on Tuesday evening last at the Division room i of the “Sons” by Mr. D. A. Davis, who had been ap- | pointed Deputy Grand Worthy Patron for that purpose, and as I was present on the occasion, and witnessed the interest and delight of the ‘‘ Cadets” as manifest- ed after the organizing ceremony was over, I think I | may predicate the opinion, that this society will meet | with the approbation and support of the youth of our town, and prove to be an instrument for good in our community. Youth is the time for moral as well as mental disci- pline. To teach the young how and wherefore they are to restrain the appetites and passions of human nature, should be the duty of all who have passed through the fiery ordeal of temptation and sin to which youth is subject, for they know best the dangerous whirlpools of vice. The habitual] use of ardent spirits as a beverage, . must ever rank first in the catalogue of vices which stand in the way of the young, to blight and destroy their prospects forever. *Tis important then, that they should know this fact, that it should be deeply impressed upon their minds, if | a!l operations connected with his profession upon prin- we ever expect to see them useful and honorable mem- bers of society. Nowhere, I believe, can this truth be , So well inculcated in the minds of the young as in the ‘order of the Cadets of Temperance. Its simple, beau- tiful, and impressive ceremony stamps upon the mind and heart many useful and important truths, but it teaches with unerring fidelity that alcohol as a beverage, is a poison destroying the body, the mind and the soul! Most sincerely do I hope €fat all interested may lend a helping hand toward sustaining an institution fraught with the best of consequences toward the rising genera- tion. The following are the names of the officers. Yours, JONATHAN. J. MARTIN JONES, Worthy Archon, CLAUDIUS ROWZEE, Vice Archon, ROWAN SLATER, Secretary, SAMUEL KESLER, Assist.

POLYMATHEAN INSTITUTE FOR YOUNG LADIES, THE MISSES BURNS, Formerly of Philadelphia, and recently of Baltimore, Proprietors. HIS Institution purposes commencing operation in Salisbury, Rowan County, N. Carolina, September 1, 1849. The Pantographic Method of Teaching, which origi- nated in this Institution, iseminently calculated to make learning a pleasant employment to young ladies. The great variety of interesting and amusing illustrations made use of, lends interest to many studies which are usually regarded by young persons as dry and insipid. “ Sounds which address the ear are lost, and die In one short hour ; but that which strikes the eye, Lives long upon the mind ; the faithful sight Engraves the knowledge with a beam of light.” Young ladies are taught in small classes, and the whole attention of a teacher is given to one class,—the gradual development of the youthful mind is watched with much care, and throughout the course, the studies of the pupil are carefully adapted to her mental capaci- ty and progress; but the peculiarity of this method of | teaching is in the happy manner in which the different | branches of study are illustrated. Pupils will be received at a very early age; and the | Course of Instruction will be far more thorough and | complete than that of any school conducted in the or- | dinary way can be.

ANAWAY from the Subscriber on the night of the 9th May, a negro man named ISAAC, aged between 35 and 40 years, about six feet high, with a white speck on one of his eye balls, and keeps one eye mostly shut when looking at any person. He has lost nearly all his front teeth, and speaks rather slow when talking. I bought said ro at the sale of Franklin Hargrave ; and as he has a wife at Doct. Holt’s quarter, I think it is likely he is harboring in that vicinity.

Mr. Calhoun | quotes these resolutions, and in a few | terse and pregnant paragraphs proves the | utter futility of such an assertion, show- | ing clearly that they assert only funda- | mental propositions which have not and | cannot be denied. The assumptions of | Mr. Benton that such was the Motive ; | they were intended to prevent any com-.| promise ; and that they are identical with the Accomac resolutions; in the face of his own opposition to the policy to the on- ly compromise that had a chance of pass. | ing in Congress, are commented upon with | just severity. The still more frivolous pretexts that Mr. Calhoun was the real author of the Wilmot Proviso, and that the Missouri Compromise was identically the same, measure in another form, are as easily dis- | solved, and shown to be mere bubbles of | Mr. Benton’s brain, unfounded in fact and false in theory—while his assent to the | Oregon Bill with that obnoxious feature | in it, is held up as a commentary on the | truth of his professions of zeal for South. | ern rights. He then passes on to the} charge made by Mr. Benton of his having, | while a member of Mr. Monroe’s Cabinet, | admitted the constitionality of the Mis- souri restriction, and shows that the pre- | tended proofs adduced to sustain it are | utterly unreliable—no written opinions | having been submitted for want of time, | and the diary of Mr. Adams not being re- | liable evidence on the point, from his | want either of memory or impartiality. The draft of a letter, purporting to be Mr. Monroe’s, is shown to throw no light | on the matter whatever, even if genuine, | from the vagueness of the terms in which | it is couched. Mr. C. then proceeds to recapitulate the action of Congress, and | his own course and Mr. Benton’s respec: | tively on the different questions that have | arisen in Congress involving the rights of. the Slaveholding States, and passes rapid- | ly in review the attitudes taken by each. in relation to the Florida Treaty and to the Annexation of Texas, unfolding the | inconsistencies and treachery of the Mis- sourian in these matters. The Creole and | Encomium case is also explained, and Mr. Benton’s assertions disproved by facts on record. He then concludes by assailing Mr. Benton in his new position as an ally of the enemy—and this portion of his argu- | ment is worthy of the closest study—and 'proves conclusively that his alliance is / worth as little as his enmity, for his falla- cies are shown to be as transparent as his | Vanity. The closing paragraphs strip off the _jackdaw plumes of patriotism, in which the pretended lovers of Union have ar- rayed themselves, to ser to those freemen of the their equal rights under the Constitution ; proclaim that we should “ manfully do our duty to save both the Union and ourse if it can be done consistently with our equality and our safety; and if not, to ‘save ourselves at all “that in doing so we should but follow the _example of our Washington in the great ‘struggle which severed the Union be- tween the Colonies and the Mother coun- _try”—an illustration pregnant with mean- | ing, warning, and example. May friends and foes both profit by it. This meagre abstract does no justice to this masterly appeal to the Southern peo- | ple—and we would earnestly urge every ‘man who would master this great theme, ‘to read, mark, and inwardly digest these last utterances of the great champion of the South.

He said that the intro- duction of the proviso into the Oregon bill, which passed last August, was a de- liberate assertion of the unlimited power | of Congress over slavery in the territo- ries; that Congress had passed the bill, and President Polk had signed it, after the fullest consideration; and that, in so doing, the Legislative and Executive branches of the Government had solemn- ly acknowledged the Proviso to be both constitutional and expedient. “The passage of the bill organizing a Territorial Government for Minesota, du- ring the last session, without even an ob- jection from Mr. Calhoun, was another admission of the constitutionality of the provision. “The Missouri resolutions of instruc- tion Col. Benton dissected with great mi- nuteness, showing that their spirit was that of pure nullification, which, if car- ried out, would lead to disunion, and he pledged himself and the State of Missou- ri to sustain Gen. Taylor in preserving the Union, &c.” Mr. Brown of the Herald, Ashboro’ N. C. is entitled to all the credit of authorship of the piece below. It is good and we heartily en- dorse the moral. ° “PLL GO AND CATCH ANOTHER.” We adopt this as our motto henceforth, be. cause it was taught us by a child, a beautiful little girl of ten years. She and her compan. ions were fishing in a small steam, when we chanced to pass that way. “TI have caught a cat-fish, said she, seizing it at the same time with her pretty litle hands. She was standing on the brink of the streamlet from which she had just taken the struggling prisoner, and ex- hibiting all the marks of triumphant joy, when suddenly the victim gave a flounce and fell into the water. Our little angel made a vain effort to regain possession of the prize, and momenta- rily gave a most expressive look of disappoint- ment and regret. Springing up after a mo- ments reflection, hope and joy overspread her fine countenance, when skipping off to another point, she exclaimed, * well Ill go and catch another !”’ If thousands who have attained the age of maturity would follow the example of this interesting child, how much unhappiness would be subdued. Ye who would be happy, take for your motto, “Ill go and catch anoth.- er!” Supposed a young spark, (or old one, for they sometimes fish too,) has dropped his hook in the stream of courtship and pulls out, not ex- actly a “ cat-fish” but a fish of another sort and different element, and the fish eludes him, and after shaking her “ flounce” gets back into the streamlet ; no doubt “ springing up after a mo- ment’s reflection, hope and joy overspreading ‘ his’ countenance,” he will exclaim. ‘ There are*as good fish in the sea as as any caught out, ‘T’ll go and catch another.’ ” H.N INTERNAL IMPROVEMENT, To the Hon. John M. Morehead, Chair- man of the Executive Committee of the Salisbury Convention. Rome, Ga., 22d June, 1849. My Dear Sir:—I arrived here last night, and avail of the first day’s pause in _my journey to present, in compliance with your request, my views upon some of the topics which were discussed in the Salis- bury Convention. 1.

The President ofthe: company is a native North Caroliniafi, @ shrewd man, whom I have known’ iarly from my boyhood, and is ene ofvma< ny competent persons, who have ex ed to me the confident belief that the an- ticipations of Judge King, under judicious. management, will be fully realized. Ma- ny errors productive of heavy losses, were committed on all the roads in this in the infancy of the system, which expe- rience will enable us to avoid. In the construction of the Raleigh and Gastea, and Wilmington and Raleigh Rail Roads, we have purchased some knowledge at a high price, and yet our blunders were of small moment compared with Georgia and South Carolina errors. The former endeavored to escape from her perplexi- ties by suspending all operations inher great work—the Western and Atlantic rail road—and directing it to be sold'to the best bidder, at a price not less than a million of dollars. Roeanatals for ler best interests, no purchaser could be ob- tained, and after the embankments Bad: been greatly injured, bridges burned, and superstructures decayed, her Legislature was induced to enter with increased en- ergy upon her great enterprize. She bas now about 660 miles of road in success- ful operation, her scrip is at par, her rail road stock is generally at a premiam, she has one of the best devised systems of In- ternal Improvements in the Union, aud if not so already, promises at no distant day to be the most magnificent of the Southern States. -In December, 1837, the Georgia .rait road terminated at Greensborough; 82 miles from Augusta. The Western. and Atlantic road, beginning in the wilderness, at what is now the flourishing town: of Atlanta, 28 miles beyond Greeusborough, was graded nearly to the Tenuessee line, I travelled in the cars to Greensborough, and in stages along the proposed line of road to Cassville. J] came to the concla- sion at the close of my journey, that amas jority of the people in North Western Georgia not merely believed that the road never would or could be completed, bat were anxious for the immediate abandon- ment of an impracticable end visionary scheme. The expression of opinions, sf this character was by no means confined to the ignorant, but was heard from the lips of gentlemen of high reputation. The possibility of constructing the road with any means at the command of Georgia was not only denied, but it was gravely insisted that no such improvement was necessary—that ifthe road were comple- ted, the country would be found to pro« _ duce for exportation nothing bat “ apples _and feathers.” | In my subsequent visits, I perceivedjas the road advanced, the tribe of croakers retired. The entire race has now ¢e to exist. On my present journey, ] hays. found no one, who would not resent ag ‘an imputation of defective intelligence or | patriotism, the suggestion that he had, at any time, or under any circumstances, ops | posed this great scheme of State apes a The day may not be far distant w ‘the derided stockholders in our present ail roads may be regarded as successfal ioneers in a noble system of improves -ments. How such a result may be pro- duced I may attempt to show hereafter. Carolina like Georgia, has madé ffectual effort to sell oul; w ! ll further emulate the example of and work out, is now to be: dé | termined. 2 Taking it for granted that three mill ions will prove an ample fund to cons- lip the road, the more diffie i cult inquiry remains to be answered— ‘how can that three milliows be obtained ? | In the first place, a million of dollars in ck of the company must be sab- scribed by individuals, work to the value of half this sum must be done, and then thorised to call for a subseri ye millions oe the ea of in he State is then to pay her sub- su with tbe individual ork progresses, 1 ér cent bonds, which to be sold fon ter band ar.

Our General Assembly will find no difficulty ja meeting her engagements, if she will inerely exempt her scrip from taxation, ané authorize trustees to purchase it. The second branch of the enquiry now rettirns upon us: How can the individual subscription be obtained and paid’ i-must be excused for entering upon the consideration of this question somewhat in detail. A portion, | apprehend not a large oné however, will be subscribed by eap- italists, and others. from motives of inter- est or patriotism. The proprietors of land, however, lying within a few miles of the line of the road, must rely mainly upon their own resources. It can be made clear to the most ordinary capacity that it is their interest and their doty to subscribe | and pay for the stock without hesitation | ordelay. The area of the State of North Caroli- na-is ordinarily computed to be 48,500 | square miles. No geographer, | believe, has ever supposed it to exceed 50,000 a still larger amount Day ie. into the bands of trus*{ hasta for them the safest | miles, or 32 millions of acres. That portion of this aggregate surface which | been patented, and given in for taxa- tion, was assessed in 1847 at more than 66 millions. The average value therefore of the entire surface of the State exceeds $2 per acre. The proposed line of road from Goldsborough to Charlotte passes through the heart of the State, and it is confidently believed, that a belt of land eight miles in width and 210 in length, will exhibit an area of greater average valae than any other tract of equal width, between any two points equally distant that can be selected in the State. There can be no difficulty in arriving at the con- clasion from these premises, that the av- erage value of this belt at present ex- ceeds $3 per acre. It will be found to contain 1,680 square miles, or 1,075,200 acres, What will be the effect of the construc- tion of the road upon the value of the land within the limits suggested? The experience of our sister States, and espe- cially that of Georgia, is wholly decep- tive, if it does not increase the value more than $1 per acre, so that if $3 be the pre- sent average value of the land, it will exceed $4 when the road shall be com- pleted. If this be true, the entire stock be taken by proprietors of Jand with- in-four miles, without reference to divi- dends, and without possibility of loss. am well satisfied, there are many tracts of Jand in the Counties of Rowan, David- son, and Davie, which might now be pur- ehased at $5 per acre, which if they could be transferred to the neighborhood of a Georgia or Sonoth Carolina rail road, would readily command $10. The land cannot be removed, buttherail road can be made to approach the land, and a similar effect be produced. That such must be the result may be demonstrated, not merely from the effects roduced elsewhere, but within our own rders. The Raleigh and Gaston, and the Wilmington and Raleigh Rail Roads, have thus far proved disastrous experi- ments to the individual stockholders. Ve- ry different has been the effect upon the general.interest of the State. The only two assessmients of lands ever made un- der authority of the State government, will afford data for accurate computation and comparison. Under the first the aggregate amount- of taxes collected for 1837, was $80,130 34; under the second for 1847, $92,939 %—showing an increase in ten years of 3G percent. The tax on lands and town lets at the former period amounted to $31,476 72—at the latter to $37,879 96, exhibiting an increase of 21 per cent. Compare with this aggregate result and 33. per cent., while io Banec the extreme st. the agi value of taxable tty has arly trebled, { led in and of real estate_nearly “qa 20 years. The increase 10 these most wealthy, fertile and populous counties be- tween 1837 and 1847, has been in the ag- gregate valuation 7, and in real estate 14 per cent. : . Reserving for the present all discussion in relation to the dividends which may reasonably be anticipated, I venture to suggest some advantages, scarcely secon- dary to the. increase in the value of lands that must accrue to the proprietors of lands contigaous to the Road. The State proposes, upon her part, to expend two millions of dollars in the im- provement of one million of acres of land, provided that the owners of those acres will in like manner expend one million. with this important difference in favor of the latter: The State is to expend money exclusively ; the proprietors are to pay no money beyond the five per cent, necessary to secure their subscription for stock in the first instance. They are to contribute labor, for which at present there is noad- equate employment ; provisions, for which there is at present little demand ; and ma- terials, which in some instances have no marketable value. If the respective proprietors become contractors, their contributions may be made with still greater facility. Of the three millions to be expended, one million will be ample for the purchase of every thing that is not produced in the imme- diate vicinity of the road, viz: rail road iron, locomotives, shop furniture, &c. If the respective proprietors, after the pur- chase of all foreign supplies, they will re- | ceive from the State one dollar in cash for each dollar they are required to subscribe, supposing that there are no other stock- holders. I purposely state the case in the strongest possible Jight against them, in order to show the more clearly the facili- ty with which they may discharge the most onerous obligations which it is in their power to assume under the charter. By their subscriptions, they bind them- selves to pay, in addition to the five per cent, or $50,000, required to make a valid subscription, the further sum of $950,000. In what manner is this large sum to be paid? The first and largest proportion will be discharged by the reasonable pro- fit which every contractor anticipates, and has a right to anticipate, upon his opera- tions. No pradent man will enter into a contract which does not promise to reward his responsibility, attention, and labor, with a nett profit of 16 2.3 per cent; and his per cent, upon the three millions, a- mounts to $500,000, or one-half the entire amount of individual stock. The remain- ing $450,000 will be paid, as already in- dicated, in labor, in provisions, in materi- als, at prices considerably enhanced by increased demand, and by the impetus which will be given to all business opera- tions, the circulation of large sums of rea- dy money ina community hitherto remov- ed from such facilities. There are few individuals among the thousands immedi- ately interested, who have not suflicient intelligence to comprehend these obvious suggestions. There is not a single intel- ligent enterprising man among them, who in his own case would hesitate to contri- bute, in the manner indicated, one dollar for every two that a propitious govern- ment or a benevolent Deity might proffer to expend in the best possible system which could be devised for the improvement of his estate. I crave pardon for the space I have oc- cupied, in the consideration of these two topics. “I write with rail road celerity, without any adequate opportunity to re- vise and condense, or even copy. Il may, if you desire it on my return, enter upon the consideration of other enquiries in re- lation to the best method of effecting ob- jects so interesting and important to us, and to the community.

The route of the Plank Road from Fayette- ville to Salisbury as located by the Governor’s State vote, we view as the very. worst for its prospect of success and profit after completion that could be made. It certainly was contem- plated to have the road from Fayetteville ro Salisbury ; but the way it is at present located, it is more like being from Fayetteville and on towards Greensboro’ From Salisbury. Any one by a glance on the map, tracing tha direc. tion now adopted, will see that if it go to Salis- bury at all, it will go nearly around and come hack. A serious objection to its going to Lex- ington is that it will from thence run parallel with the Central Rail Road, if that be built.— Running in that direction too, most of the trav- el via Salisdury would touch the road about half way down, perhaps lower than that. A friend at our elbow suggests that it is divert- ing the road from the course intended by the Legislature, that it is in fact under the Charter building two roads one running from Fayette- ville ro Fair Grove, North West corner of Randolph, a North West course, and from thence, a South West road to Salisbury ; only affording a colorable pretext to the require- ments of the Legislature. We hope if it be not too late the Governor will see the propriety of changing the location. An able communication on this subject next week.— The Hornets Nest.

Gentlemen: Ureceived your officiat letter, in }.’ behalf of the freemen of the Reserve, inviting me to unite with them, at Cleveland, in cele- Drating the anniversary of the passage of the ordinance of 1787, on the 13th of July next. I concur entirely ia opinion as to the wisdom of that great measure, and [ am glad that it has secured to the State on which it operates an exemption from the evils of slavery. But the event of the passage of the ordinance has nev- er with my knowledge, been celebrated in any other one of the sixty-one years. which have since intervened. [tis proposed for the first time to commemorate it. It is impossible to disguise the conviction that this purpose orig- inates out of the question, now unfortunately agitating the whole Union, of the introduction of slavery into New Mexico and California. While no one can be more opposed than I am to the extension of slavery into those new territories, either by the authority of Congress | or by individual enterprise, I should be unwil- ling to do any thing to increase the prevailing excitement. I hope that the question will be met in a spirit of calmness and candor, and finally settled in a manner to add strength and stability, instead of bringing any danger, to the existence of our Union.

Manly me- morials and protests from the Colonels of the Regiments, in Stanly and Montgomery, and from one of the candidates for the office, com- plaining that-the election in Gen. Neel’s Brig- ade had not been fully and-Jegally held; that no order had been legally issued by him to hold the election in these counties, composing a part of his Brigade; that consequently, no e- lection had been held in them ;—that the Off- cers in those Regiments had been virtually dis franchised, and insisting that Gen. Neel should be required to supply his omission, and give the Officers of those Regiments a chance to vote —nol “to vote over again,” as has been ma- liciously and falsely asserted, but a chance to vote once. It appeared that the only order issued by Gen. Neel to those Counties was a notice pub- lished in the Charlotte newspapers. The law requires Military orders to be sent by express or through the Post Office, in a special mode pointed out by. the 40:b Section of the Act of 1836.

Mr. Morante denies positively that he had any connection whatever with the outra- geous kidnapping of this unfortunate youth. It appears that he was then taken to a restausat, where, it is reported, he was well plied with wine. He was then taken by force on board the schooner Mary EI- len, Capt. McConnell, which immediately set tail for Ha- vanna. This extraordinary case of kidnapping has caused much excitement in this city, and given rise to many strange rumors, which, at this stage of the matter, it is not proper to repeat. It is understood, however, that Juan Francisco Rey was the turnkey of the prison of Havana, and that two prisoners had recently escaped therefrom to New-York, the charge against whom was of a political nature, in relation to-which the agents of the Spanish Crown are exercising the utmost vigilance. The occasion is one which demands, of | lime in its simplicity, no conduct more rational at all times, than that of a whole nation bowing in submission to the Great Creator. But when a nation is visited by the afflicting hand of God—when He sends @ scourge upon the people to re- pind them of their sins, how fitting it is, pat every knee should bow, and every heart confess. Thus shall amendment of life ensne, and His wrath be turned away. Western Turnpike.—Messrs. A. H. Sha- ford and J. J. Ervin, Commissioners, and Engineer, S. M. Fox, charged with the business of surveying the route of the Western Turnpike, have arrived here with the object of entering upon the du- ties of their appointment. They propose to view the country from this point to the Georgia Line, and commencing the instru- mental survey there about the first of Sep- tember, will retarn in the direction of this place. It is thought that the work will occupy some five or six months. Rey, it seems, is charged with facilitating, or conniving at their escape, and took refuge in this city, his punish- ment, if convicted, being death. We believe the exist- ing treaty between the United States and Spain makes no provision for the extradition of offenders of any cha- | racter. We understand the Spanish population of our | city are indignant at this gross outrage, perpetrated against one of their own countrymen, and are anxious that the authors of this atrocity should reqeive the pun- ishment they so justly merit.

They have ap- peared in such numbers that the settlers have been entirely unable to resist them, and consequently have been compelled to fy from their homes for protection in the More thickly settled portions of the coun- ty.

POLYMATHEAN INSTITUTE © FOR YOUNG LADIES. THE MISSES BURNS, Formerly of Philadelphia, and recently of Baltimore, Proprietors. HIS Institution purposes commencing operation in Salisbury, Rowan County, N. Carolina, September 1, 1849. The Pantographic Method of Teachi hich origi- nated in this Institution, is eminently calculated to make learning a pleasant employment to young ladies. The great variety of interesting and amusing illustrations made use of, lends interest to many studies which are usually regarded by young persons as dry and insipid. “ Sounds which address the ear are lost, and die In one short hour; but that which strikes the eye, Lives long upon the mind ; the faithful sight Engraves the knowledge with a beam of light.” Young ladies are taught in small classes, and the whole attention of a teacher is given to one class,—the gradual development of the youthful mind is watched with much care, and throughout the course, the studies of the pupil are carefully adapted to her mental capaci- ty and progress; but the peculiarity of this method of teaching is in the happy manner in which the different branches of study are illustrated. Pupils will be received at a very early age ; and the Course of Instruction will be far more thorough and complete than that of any school conducted in the or- dinary way can be. Terms and Sessions.

Tuis long established Whig Journal, having pawsed permanently into the hands of the present Editor, be has determined (provided sufficient encouragement be given) upon so enlarging its dimensions, as to make it contain nearly Eicut Co.umns more than it now does, and upon improving its appearance in such manner as to make it one of the largest and handsomest sheets in the South!

THE PISHER.—rFrom GoetieE. The water sighed, the water swelled, A fisher sat thereby ; Chilled to the heart, his hook he held, Anf@ gazed with patient eye And as he sat, and as he gazed, The trembling waves withdrew ; And from the deep a maiden raised A drippling form to view. She sang to*him—she spake to him ; -- Why lure my brood away, ~ ‘With human craft and human skill, To the deathly glow of day’ Ah! could’st thou guess what pleasures sweet The iittle fishes know, Thou, too, would’st downward turn thy feet, And find true bliss below. Love not the moon and glorious sun In the crystal deeps to lave ? Hath not his face new glory won, _ Fresh breathing of the wave? And tempt thee not the heavens that sleep In wave transfigured blue ; And tempt thee not thine eyes, to leap Into the eternal dew ?” ¥ The water swelled, the water sighed, The surf swept o’er his feet ; A strong wish through his heart replied, As when two lovers meet. She spake to him, she sang to him, His earthly fate was o'er ; Half drew she him, half yielded he, And ne’er was heard of more. aseunsiafieeeenn WONDERFUL PRESERVATION. ‘We find the following instance of wonderful pi@servation in Macon Telegraph of Wednes- day, the 18th inst. * During the severe thunder storm on Sun. g it delight, for he was about ing his hands ‘*What sort of a unging in his element. critter is he Sam 7?” “ Nothin’ very alarmin’, I guess, uncle C,; but sound as a dime though.” “© Considerable old, I reckon,” says uncle C. “Not very; and what mought be yourn’s age, uncle C.” “Four, comin’ five next grass, Sam. all-killin’ fine colt, Sam, eff I say it.” “J ain’t seen him, uncle C., and you ain’t seen mine, as I knows on; now let’s do the thing up in short metre.

Church Membership and LIaquor Selling. | One of the western Synods of the Pres- terian Church some time since adopted | the following Resolution: ¢ Resolved, That in the present state of society, to manufacture or sell ardent spi- rits (except for mechanical or medicinal purposes) is in the judgment of this Synod an offence of such a character as justly to debar persons so engaged from the communion of the church.” A writer in the ‘Presbpterian of the west’ defends the action of the Synod in an article, which the following is an ex- tract: The question at issue is, whether the fact of the manufacture or sale of spiritu- ous liquors is ‘ prima facie’ evidence of guilt, to such an extent as to debar from | the communion of the church? I aver, that it is, the liquor manufacturer, or sell- er, takes the property ef men without an equivalent—ministers to a depraved ap- petite. which, in most cases, ends in his ruin—breaks the heart of his wife, and causes neglect of the proper education of his children. Instead of bringing them up for God and for community, he entails upon the next generation a horde of crim- inals and paupers. Is there no palpable immorality in such a course ? But it is objected, it is a voluntary con- tract upon the part of the drunkard. Ad- mit it. I may meet your child in the street, and taking advantage of his natur- | al desire for a change of toys, I may in- fluence him to exchange a watch of the | value of a hundred dollars, for a mere bauble. The drunkard, although often | sane upon other topics, is influenced by a | diseased appetite, from the hour in which | he has the first feeling of uneasiness for want of his morning dram. His nervous | system has received an injury, from which time every new drught hurries him on to | spectators fullowed the traders to enjoy the fi- nale. ; “ Let’s goto my place first,” said Sam. and they went, whilst uncle C. directed Seth to run to his stable and lead out his horse.

Now, I dont want to find fault nor complain; you know it aint my nater. But I must say I think you have been quite too tame a long back, and too mealy to speak on your mind. The fact is, you must go at Gineral Taylor in real arnest, | He’s the head of the Administration, and you know if we can cut the head off the critter’s dead.

Ask her how She formed it, and she cannot answer the question; while she trasts her instinct she is scarcely ever deceived ; but she is gen. erally lost when she begins to reason.

TEMPERANCE AT THE UNIVERSITY. The late session of the University of Vir. ginia was distinguished by an opder and deco. rum on the part of the young mén, that has ex. cited the admiration of the country. . The lowing extract from a Temperance Adde livered by the Rev. Wm. 8. White, at J ton, Va. will go far lo disclose the secret of that success ; “The present condition and character of the © University of Virginia, contrasted with its for. mer state, furnishes one of the most impressive and pleasing illustrations of our views.

How has this come to pass! Why, every Professor and ev. ery Subordinate officer there has long.been a thorough Teto-tal-lar—and all the members of the faculty who are accustomed to public speak. ing are among the ablest and most zealous lece turers on this subject. One of the largest and most efficient Divis. ions of the Sons of Temperance in our land exists within its precincts—all who know this case to wunder that her halls are. crowded with Students, distinguished for their gentlemanly and studious habits.”— Rich, Whig.

That the local travel on those roads pays to company $1 90 cents for each white inhabitant resi- ding upon the road, or within thirty miles of it. 2 That the freight receipts arc equal to 24 per cent. upon the value of all products raised in the same dis- triets. This is deduced from the census of 1840. 3. That this holds good or nearly so, for all roads passing through a cotton-growing district. In other dis- tnets, it is true within 30 per cent. If this rule be applied to any of the Southern Roads pow in operation, it will be found very nearly correct ; and serves as a data upon which to found an esiimate of the probable receipts of the North Carolina Raii Road. Let us apply this to the districts tributary to the No. Carolina Rail Road, by drawing a line from Goldsboro’ to Raleigh, thence to Salisbury, and thence to Char- jotte ; it will be found to pass through counties, or in pear proximity to them. containing a population of 95,- 984 white inhabitants, each of whom will yield to the Road as above, $1 90 cts, per annum, And a produce of the annual value of 10 million nine hundred and twenty-five thousand eight hundred dollars, 24 per cent. of which for share to Rail Road is Or total amount of Deduct 40 per ct. for cost of working road $272,511 00 which leaves an annual profit of $272,511 00, equal to which it is proposed to invest in the work; if we add to the above the through travel a large preportion of | which may be expected to pass through this high and | healthy region ; and the mails (for it is forty miles near- to $190,000 per annum, and we will have a gross re- ceipt of $544,000 00, or neat $386,511 00, or over 13 per cent on the amount of three millions. This is from the amount of produce now raised in tible of improvement as that through which this road Who can estimate this increase? When the passes. South Carolina Rail Road was first ialked of, it was supposed to be a wild calculation when ten passengers | was spoken of; the average now is over one and twenty. The amount of produce raised saw in upper Georgia since the completion of the Rail Road, | is more than double. The farmers on the Camden and Amboy Rail Road which passes through the State of New Jersey, when that work was first opened, request- ed the company to place one car at a certain station to earry their produce to market, which was done, and five years afterwards, this car had increased to a train, re- quiring the whole service of a locomotive. I have seen myself thirty tons of green corn going by this train to market. The milk train on the New York and Erie Rail Road consumes the power of a locomotive. A singular objection has been urged against the Rail Road, that is—that the cheapness of transportation by bringing such immense supplies to market will reduce the price ; this is probably the most absurd objection that could be raised. In the port of Buffalo alone, there atived during the year 1846, upwards of ten millions of tusbels wheat, al] for the New York market, besides two millions of bushels of corn. This was from one port alone, embracing only a portion of the upper lake trade. Yet the price of wheat has been on the increase.— There was imported into England alone, this same year, over 32 millions bushels of grain for consumption, besides an amount much greater to other countries. These are our regulators of price—all the produce of North Caro- lima if poured into market at once, would be but a drop in this immense sea. The want of conveyance but pre- vents us from reaping the benefits of this market. We will take the article of Corn which now is valued at an average of 30 cents a bushel in this vicinity. In Pe- tersburg and Wilmington it is worth 70 cents., and the only reason it ie not sent, is that it would cost more than 40 cents to send it there. If the Rail Road were fin- ished it would be taken to either place for 12 cents, leav- ing an additional sum of 28 cents to the producer or near- ly doubling the value of his crop. These are plain facts easily tested by any one. Up- en ourselves now depends the issue—every man that raises 100 bushels of corn for market is now Josing an- noafly 28 dollars for want of this work, and 28 dollars is the interest of 466 dollars. Let him take but two shares, and though the Rail Road should never yield a This is the | cent of profit, he is still largely benefitted. personal inducement to the farmer. Before the opening of the improvements in New York and Pennsylvania, the taxable property of these States were retumed at 200 millions and 130 millions of dol- lara In 1846, the taxable property was in the one case 600 million, and the other 450 millions; an increase owing solely to these improvements. If my premises are correct, the conclusion is unassailable. How strong thea is the inducement held out to the people of North Carolina to proceed at once to the construction of this Road—the effect being to elevate the State, increase het revenues and individual profits, and enable her to assume her proper stand among her sisters in wealth and Commercial ascendancy. COMMON SENSE. We have been kindly furnished by Col. Barnhardt, with the following history of the opening of the Reed Gold Mine in Ca- barrus County, and the number and weight of the pieces of gold found at different Periods, A sketch of the discovery and history of the Reed Gold Mine in Cabarrus Coun- poo Carolina, being the first Gold Mine discovered in the United States. The first piece of gold found at thismine was in the year 1799, by Conrod Reed, a y of about twelve years old, a son of John Reed, the proprietor. The discove- ty was made in an accidental manner: the boy above named, in company witha Mater and younger brother, went to a small stream, called Meadow Creek, ona ath day while their parents were at church, for the purpose of shooting fish With bow and arrow ; and while engaged the bank of the creek Conrod saw * yellow substance shining in the water— Went in and picked it up—and found it lo he some kind-of metal and carried it home: Mr. Reed examined it, but as gold Was unknown in this part of the country a that time, he did not know what kind Metal it was. The piece was about size of a small smoothing iron. Mr. Reed carried the piece of metal+to ere and shewed it toa William At- a silver smith, but he not thinki of gold was unable t ; iad ot “ang ate O say what kind of Mr. Reed kept the pi é Piece for ~ ou his house floor to lay igeiee to keep it from sbattiog.

The Jeweller then asked Mr. Reed what he would take forthe bar. Mr. Reed (not knowing the value of gold) thought he would ask a “big price” andso he asked three dollars and fifty cents, ($3.50.) The Jeweller paid him his price. After returning home Mr. Reed exam- lined and found gold in the surface along ‘the creek.

HIS Institution purposes commencing operation in 1, 1849. Salisbury, Rowan County, N. Carolina, September The Pantographic Method of Teaching, which origi- | nated in this Institution, iseminently calculated to make learning a pleasant employment to young ladies. The great variety of interesting and amusing illustrations made use of, lends interest to many studies which are usually regarded by young persons as dry and insipid. “ Sounds which address the ear are lost, and die In one short hour ; but that which strikes the eye, Lives long upon the mind ; the faithful sight Engraves the knowledge with a beam of light.” Young ladies are taught in small classes, and the whole attention of a teacher is given to one class,—the gradual development of the youthful mind is watched with much care, and throughout the course, the studies of the pupil are carefully adapted to her mental capaci- ty and progress; but the peculiarity of this method of teaching is in the happy manner in which the different branches of study are illustrated. Pupils will be received at a very early age; and the | Course of Instruction will be far more thorough and | complete than that of any school conducted in the or- | dinary way can be.

Ath of July in Germany. _ This National Festival of the people of _the United States, was not suffered to pass unnoticed in the Free City of Harmburg, _in Germany, but was celebrated in a cre- 'ditable manner by those Americans who | were casually there on that day. By in- 'vitation from the Consul of the United States for Hamburg, (Herrn PHILO WHITE, of Wisconsin) extended to his countrymen, they assembled at the Hotel de l'Europe, (that being the Consular res- _idence at present) and united with him _and his family in partaking of a plain but substantial dinner. The “Star spangled Banner” floated from the centre flag-staff of that magnificent Hotel during the day ; National Flags were also arranged in the dining room, and a band of music gave zest to the occasion by performing the land,—the place of our birth, the home of our child hood.” _ After the Ladies had retired, the follow- ing sentiment was proposed, and enthusi- astically responded to: “The Fair” of America: The Fratrest sample of the handiwork of nature’s Mas- ter Architect: God “created” MAN, as an EXPERIMENT in that line,—but He “ made” WoMaAN in the perfection of the art, after finishing all other “ things,” and becoming refreshed from his great week’s toil ; she was consequently the Last, as she is con- fessedly the pest and most ethereal, of all | His sublunary creations,—and it is per- i haps by her agency, more than all other ‘influences, that man’s rugged fortunes on | earth are so closely linked with his fairer destinies in Heaven. Geo. Aug. Kronig, Esq. U. States Vice Consul, being called on, gave the follow- ing: “The welfare of the United States principal national airs of the Americans. CANADA. The hasty efforts to annex Canada by the North expose them toa gallant fire from the Canada side ; and on no one does it fall more heavily than on Gen. Scott, for his late letter on that subject. The Hamilton Journal and Express thus shows the hand he holds:—S. Carolinian. “ We subjoin a letter from Gen. Scott, on the annexation of British North Amer- ica to the States. The General must be poking fun at the American voters, with a view of catching them at the next Pre- sidential election. It is impossible that he can be so ignorant as to suppose Great Britain will part with any portion of her territory to enrich a foreign State. The boundary disturbances are sufficient to show her disposition in this matter.

Captains SHERMAN, HAWKINS, and CLARK, also demonstrated their pat- riotism by a suitable display of the colors | of their country. roughly discussed, Consul WHITE re- marked, that this was a proud day for Americans;—it was the anniversary of 'the sirta of their Nation: Millions of 'Freemen, in that Mighty Empire of the | West, were at this moment mingling their | voices in grateful aspirations to Heaven, | for the full enjoyment of those blessings ‘of civil, religious and political liberty, which ought, and bo, constitute them the freest, the happiest, and the most uncon- querable people on earth: And although WE Were now temporarily separated from ‘that favored land of our nativity, by the _broad expanse of an ocean, yet distance | but served to strengthen an ever-living | appreciation of our birth-right as freemen, —Freemen, in the noblest and most ex- pansive sense of the-term. The Consul then read the Dec.araTIoN oF INDEPENDENCE, that immortalized instru- ment, by which our Fathers constituted independent and self-governing people,” and laid the foundations of an Empire of Freedom, which has already spanned an entire Continent, and is peopled at this moment by more than twenty millions of in the name of pickles and human nature, , FREE HEARTS and READY HANDS. | The following, among other sentiments, were then proposed, and enthusiastically responded to by the company : Our National Festival: Its annual re- currence serves to re-illumine the altars of liberty, and to re-assure all true patri- ots, in both Hemispheres, in their philan- thropic efforts to educate and elevate the masses, the better to qualify them for their bigh destiny as Freemen, and to extend the area of human happiness co-equal with the circumference of the earth. Our “ Faterland”: Though geographi- cally far from it, yet nothing but a disso. lution of our material existence, can les- sen our affection for that really and em- phatically “ land of the free and home of the brave.” The President of the United States: A brave and skilful warrior, an ardent pat- riot, and an honest man. GEORGE WASHINGTON: “The greatest and best of men”,—for, by the suffrage of an enlightened world, he was first among men,—* first in war, first in peace, and first in the hearts of his coun- trymen.” “The United States :” A happy asylum for the oppressed and persecuted of all climes: Tuere, an eternal hostility ‘is waged against every species of tyranny over the minp of man,—there, no PATENT of respectability elevates one above ano- ther, all being left free to become the arch- itects of their own fame and fortune,—to control or mar their own destiny, for life and for eternity. The “ Free City of Hamburg”: By the enterprize and intelligence of her Mer- chants, the enlightened liberality and practical wisdom of her Government, and the industry and honest thrift of her peo- | ple, she has achieved those triumphs asa _, commercial and business community in Northern Germany at this day, of which the * Republic of Venice,” in South Eas- tern Europe, could alone boast in past centuries. Mrs. WHITE being called on, respon- ded in nearly the following words “ How- ever essentially the Republican institu- tions of America may tend to elevate the character and give a high tone to the prin- ciples, of her “ free-mey,” yet still more genial is their influence in exalting the moral sentiment and native dignity of the | PFREE-WOMEN of our favored country. Pro- _baply no where on earth is the standard of Religion and morality higher, and no | where is woman treated with more tender regard or respectful consideration, than in ‘the United States.” | Mrs. D. O.

By the steamer Camerra we have advices from Europe a week later than those previous. ly received, the present dates from Liverpool and London being of the 21st ultimo. There continued to be much activity in the cotton market, andthe article had again ad- vanced in price. In view of the present flat. tering prospects of a good harvest, breadstuffs were very dull, with a tendency to decline. ENGLAND. Parliament is to be prorogued on the 9th instant. The motion which Lord Brougham previously announced his intention to make, with reference to the French expedition to Rome, was laid upon the Pecrs’ table on Fri- day. The i:esolutions embraced a wide range of subjects, and implied a direct censure of the foreign policy of the Government. In the debate which took place on the 20th in allusion to the cholera, Lord Ashley, the | chairman of the Board of Health, stated in the | House of Commons, on Tuesday last, that he | had reason to know that not one-half of the cases were reported. Enough, however, is officially known to render it certain that the epidemic is raging in many parts of the coun- try to a dreadful extent. During the last week 339 deaths by cholera were reported in Lon. don, which is more than double the number of After the dinner had been pretty tho- | in appropriate terms. And at about 8 o’- clock, (long before the Sun goes down in this latitude) the company separated, pleased with the entertainment, and grat- ified at the occurrence of the occasion that gave rise to it. PLAYING THE DEVIL. We were a good deal amused at an an- ecdote we heard the other day, of a cer- tain preacher, whose calling confined him within the limits of old Kentucky; he had preached in his parish many years, and of course run short of the eloquence so much needed to keep his hearers a- wake and astonished. Lethim preachgver so well now, it made no difference, they had got used to him and used to sleeping ; and sleep they would do to his great an- noyance; at last he hit upon an expedi- ent to bring ’em up standing, as the say- ing is. He procured a small tin whistle, which he took with him into the pulpit, and after taking his text and “ blazing /away” until his langs were sore and his | hearers all comfortably dozing and nod- | | | inary inducements in the themselves and their successors, “a free, | ding approval to each other, be suddenly drew it forth and gave a shrill toot-a-toot. | ‘In an instant the whole congregation was awake and upon feet staring at the min- ister, at each other, and wondering what 'as Sam Slick says, was to come next.— | manity, an’t you?” said the divine whis- 'tler, as he slowly gazed around on his as- tonished assemblage. ‘“ When I preach ‘the Gospel to you, you all go to sleep; but the moment I go playing the devil | r . ° ~ You’re a set of smart specimens of hu- | -nexion which at present exists.

On the 12th July, the anniversary of the bat- tle of Aghrim, a very serious collision took place between a party of armed Orangemen and Catholics, near Castle William, in county of Down. ‘The Orange party having celebra- ted the day at Ballymore, and being on their march home, whilst passing a defile called Dolly’s Brae, found their party waylaid. All the pass and surrounding hill were occupied by | an immense number of Roman Catholics, pro- | vided with pikes and fire-arms, and plainly contemplating a general massacre.

It will bear three hundred, and the grafts have not yetalltaken. The proprietor of this tree, Which is perhaps the most sin- gular in the world has affixed a ticket to each branch, to indicate the ‘quality of its ‘fruit.

Doctor Thornton, who has made the me- dicinal properties of our wild plants his peculiar study, states that lint dipped in nettle juice, and put up the nostril, has been known to stay the bleeding of the nose when all other remedies have failed; and adds, that fourteen or fifteen of the seeds ground into powder, and taken dai- ly, will cure the swelling of the neck, known by the name of goitre, without in any way injuring the general habit.

I founda nest of birds in my father’s field, which held four young ones.

When I came one! morning I found them all cut up in quar. | ters. The grass around-the nest was red with blood. Their little limbs were raw and bloody. ‘Fhe mother was on the tree, and the father on a wall, mourning for | their young. Icried myself. for 1 was a child.

Cultivator :—In answer to your correspondent, who asks for information in regard to spaying cows, I would say | that I have practised it for twenty-five | years, and think I] can judge with tolera- | ble correctness as to the benefits of the | operation. | A spayed cow will give more milk ina | | year than when she went dry for thirty, | sixty or ninety days; and she is ready to | | fatten at any time, and will take on fat | { | } | { | 'much more readily than those cows that | are dried and fattened in the usual way. | I have followed the practice (and so did— my father before me) cf spaying cows in the spring, and milk them two or three | years, or as long as] please, without the | | trouble that is had with those that are not spayed. When fatted, the quality of the beef is superior to that of any ox or steer, and fetches a higher price in market. In As to the operation, it is difficult to give such a descriptiog on paper as would en- | able the farmer to perform it successful. | ly ; and so it would be in regard to de- | scribing the amputation of the limb, or the | dissection of any part of the body. I can only say that spaying can be performed | without aby particular risk. It is important that the farmer should | know what his cow is best fitted Jor. If! she is inclined to get fat with good ‘eed. | ing, ] would not spay her for the purpose | of milking, but would do it for the ptire | pose of fattening her. But on the other hand, if the object is milk, and the cowis | a good milker, spay her, and keep her in have milked them from one to | six years ; and in the counties of Ontario, | Livingston and Genesce, | have operated on hundreds from six weeks to eighteen | | | i } Reference can be given to those, who have milked spayed cows for several: years, have worked spayed heifers, and. have raised and fattened them fromcalves, | and speak in high terms of the benefit of | the operation, when well performed.

Me furnishes an article for a’ French journal, which is summed up as follows: 1. Spay ing induces permanency of milk, increase of quantity, and improvement of quality ; ‘richer, and more buttery, supe- rior color, and finer taste and flavor. 2. The most suitable age is six years, and after the third or fourth calf. 3. The spayed cow fattens more easily and furnishes beef of a better quality. 4.

John Wesley. | Mr. Dadley was one evening taking tea with that eminent artist, Mr. Culy, | when he asked him whether he had seen his gallery of busts. Mr. D. answering | in the negative, and expressing a wish to | be gratified with a sight of it, Mr. Culy _conducted him thither; and after admir- ing the busts of the several great men of the day, he came to one which particu- | larly attracted bis notice, and on inquiry | found it was the likeness of the Rev. John | Wesley. | “This bust,” said Mr. C., “struck Lord |Shelboorne in the same manner it does you, and there is a remarkable fact con- nected wéth it, which, as | know you are fond of anecdotes, I will relate to you pre- cisely in the same manner and words that _Idid to him.” On returning to the parlour, Mr. C. commenced accordingly : | “Tama very old man; you must ex- _cuse my little failings, and as.I before ob- served, hear it in the words I repeated it to his Lordship. My lord, said I, perhaps you have heard of John Wesley, the founder of the Methodists. “Oh, yes,” he replied ; “ He—that race of fanatics.” Well, my lord, Mr. Wesley had often been urged to have his picture taken, but he always refused alleging as a reason that he thought it nothing but vanity; indeed so frequently had he been pressed on this | point, that his friends were reluctantly compelled to give up the idea. One day he called on me on the business of our Church ; I began the old subject of en- treating him to allow me to take off his likeness. Well, said I, knowing you va- _lue money for the means of doing good, if you will grant my request, I will en- gage to give you ten guineas for the first ten minutes that you sit, and for every minute that exceeds that time you shall _have a guinea. What, said Mr. Wesley, '*do I understand you aright, that you will give me ten guineas for having my pic- ture taken! Well, I agree toit.’ He then | stripped off his coat, and lay on the sofa, _and in eight minutes I had the most per- fect bust I had ever taken. He then | washed his face, and I counted to him ten | guineas into his hand. ‘ Well,’ said he, | turning to his companion, ‘ J never till now earned money so speedily ; but whatshall we do with it?” They then wished me a good morning, and proceeded over West- minster bridge. The first object that pre- | sented itself to their view was a poor | woman crying bitterly, with three chil- |dren hanging around her, each sobbing though apparently too young to under- | stand that mother’s grief. On inquiring _the cause of her distress, Mr. Wesley | learned that the creditors of her husband were dragging him to prison, after having sold their effects, which were inadequate 'to pay the debt by eighteen shillings, paid. One guinea made her happy ! They then proceeded on, followed by the bless- ings of the now happy mother. ‘On Mr. Wesley’y inquiring of Mr. Bar- ton his friend, where their charity was most needed, he replied he knew of no place where his money would be more acceptable than in Gillspur street comp- ter. They accordingly repaired thither, on asking the turnkey to point out the most miserable object under his care, he answered if they were come in search of poverty they need not go far. The first ward they entered they were struck with the appearance of a poor wretch who. was greedily eating some potatoe skins. On being questioned he informed them that he had been in that situation, sup- ported by casual alms of compassionate strangers for several months without any hope of release, and that he was confined for the debt of half a guinea. | | ! ors together, and laid before them the state of his affairs, showed them his books which were in the most perfect order.— They all willingly signed the dividend ex- cept the lawyer, who owed his rise in the world to this merchant ; the sam was 250 pounds, for which he obstinately declared he should be sent to jail. It was in vain the creditors urged him to pity his forlorn condition, and to consider his great re- spectability. That feeling was a stranger to his breast, and in spite of all their re- monstrances he‘was hurried away to pri- son, followed by his weeping wife. she was very accomplished, she continued to maintain herself and her husband for As | And thus they managed to put a little a- | side for the time of her confinement. But /so long an illness succeeded this event that she was completely incapacitated from exerting herself for their subsistence, and their scanty savings were soon ex- | pended by procuring the necessaries which her situation then required.

The poor | infant had just expired from want, and the hapless mother was about to follow it to the grave when Mr. Wesley and his friend entered, and, as I before said, the husband was so reduced from the same cause, that without the utmost care, he _must have fallen too; and as Mr. Wesley who was not for doing things by halves, had acquainted himself with this case of extreme misery, he went to the creditors and informed them of it. They were be- yond measure astonished to learn what he had to name to them; for so long a time had elapsed without hearing any- thing of the merchant, or his family, some supposed him to be dead, and others that he had acquitted the country. Among the rest he called on the lawyer, and pain- ted to him in the most glowing colors, the wretchedness he had witnessed, and which he [the lawyer] had been instrumental in causing ; but even this could not move him to compassion. He declared the mer- chant should not leave the prison without peated his visit to the other creditors, who, greed to raise a sum and release him.— Some gave £100, others £200, and ano- ther £300.

The following beautiful extract is from the pen of that devoted friend of the laborer, Miss. Wentwort, and is well worthy a place in eve. ry newspaper, and less worthy a perusal by every Mechanic in the land. It dues us good to record language so expressive of our own sentiments : “Toil on sunburnt Mechanic! God has placed thee in thy lot perchance to guide the flying car that whirls us on from scene to scene from friend to friend; bind down the warring waves of ocean, tempest-tossed, or chain the red artillery of heaven. Toil on! Without thy power earth, though its sands were one vast Pactius of gold, would would gleam out from all her treasured miues. | Rich soils would perish in their richness, and the fruit of the season changing, die ungather- ed trom the harvest. Toil on! Jehovah was a workman too. ‘In the beginning God created heaven and UMBRELLAS. It is not a hundred years since a very. eccentric Englishman, named Jonas Han- way, having returned from’ his ‘ Travels in the East,’ (the record of which is still preserved in voluminous quarto form, with that title, in some old libraries,) appeared in the streets of London on a rainy day (it does not rain in England’ sometimes) with a queer notion imported from China, in the shape of what is now called um- brella. Jt was the first ever seen or used in England, probably the first in Europe. It attracted such curious and indignant notice, that the eccentric Jonas was soon surrounded by a furious English mob, and was boldly pelted with mud and other convenient missiles for his presumptuous audacity in thus attempting to screen his head and figure from the rain, which all true born Englishmen, from time im- without resistance, as an “inevitable vi- earth,’ and from the confused chaos sprang this perfect world—the perfect work manship of the | eternal, uncreated Power. Up rose the mighty | firmament; and back the sullen surges swept, | submissive tamed ; each to their several bounds. | And then he set great lights—the glorious | sun to bless the day, the timid moon to wear at | night the milder lustre of the radiant orb. He painted Heaven with mingled blue and | white—and in the vaulted arch a modest star peeped out, seeming by the majesty of the sun and moon, like a starry lilly. Wondering, there dawned another, and a | third, clustering, clinging to the spacious can. opy, they read, in the calm waters of the sea, the story of their radiant loveliness.

And God created man!

An enterprise to invade the territories of a friend- ly nation, set on foot and prosecuted within | the limits of the United States, is in the high- | est degree criminal, as tending to endanger the peace and compromit the honor of this nation ; that our successes there | and, therefore, I exhort all good citizens, as bold | they regard our national reputation, as they re- spect their own laws and the laws of nations as they value the blessings of peace and the welfare of their country, to discountenance and prevent by all lawful means any such enter- prise ; and I call upon every officer of this Go- vernment, civil or military, to use all efforts in his power to arrest for trial and punishment every such offender against the laws providing for the performance of our sacred obligations to friendly powers.

On the Ist of January last, he says it was 15,000, exclusive of In- diansand divided thus: 9,000 Californi- ans, 5.000 Americans, and 1,000 foreign- ers of all nations. From the Ist of Janu- ary to the 30th of June the arrivals by sea are estimated at 9,500, and those by land at 5,500. Ofthese new comers there were about 5,000 Americans, 6,000 Mex: | icans, 2,000 Chilians, and 2,000 other for- | eigners hailing from other countries.— "hese estimates show that, up to the 30th | June the preponderance of the immigra- | tion was foreign, and the following was: the character of the then population: 10,000 9,000 6,500 2,500 2,000 Americans, Californians, Mexicans, Chilians, Other nations, 30,000 The Editor then estimates 25,000 Amer- icans to be on their way [o California from the States, all of whom will arrive before the end of October, and makes an addition of only 5,000 for increase in the foreign population during the same time. It is thus he runs the sum of population up to 60,000 on the lst of November next, which he classifies as follows: Americans, 35,000 Californians 9,000 All other nations, 16,000 | 60,000 Of the population already in the coun- try, it is supposed that one-half, including women and children, are engaged in va- rious business pursuits, and the other half in digging gold.— Nat. Intelligencer. FROM FLORIDA. : The Tallahassee Sentinel of last Thurs- day has the following on the subject of | the late disturbances by the Indians in | that State: “We continue to have flying accounts of further depredations by the Indians— killing men, plundering and burning hous- es, &c.; but we have no anthentic state- ment of outrage since the attact on the trading-house at Charlotte Harbor. We incline to the belief that the startling ac- counts of subsequent occurrences arise from the fears and confusion of the inhab- itants, who are flying from their homes in the counties near the line and taking ree | fage in the towns. Numbers of people | have flocked into Tampa, Ocala, St. Au- | gustine, Garey’s Ferry, Pilatka, and som2 have even taken refuge so far north as Jacksonville. This is the condition of | things brought about by the two forays that are known to have taken place. An! that during | out-break once begun, panic ensues, con- fidence is lost, and the promising settle- | ments in Southern Florida are abandoned. | “ But these events have fully awaken- | edthe State and the General Goverment to a sense of duty, and will perhaps not | being aS | be much regretted, if they ultimate io the | removal of the savages.” * Accident in Church.—On Monday after- | | | | | \ | | | noon, while a large congregation was as- | sembled in a church at Spotswood, to at- | tend the funeral services of Dr. Lefferts, | and just at the prayer preceding the ser- | mon, nearly the w | down with a tremendous crash upon the) congregation. The fright and alarm are | said to have been truly awful; the more | so, no doubt, as just at that instant the whole edifice was shaken by a terrible | clap of thunder, which is supposed to | have disengaged the ceiling —it being | before considerably cracked. Those of | the congregation who were able left the | church, making theic exit through the | doors and windows in the wildest confu- | sion. Some three or four persons were | very much injured, but it is hoped not fatally. The services were postponed.— | Advertiser. Conviction of Negroes.—The Charles- ton Mercury of Tuesday says: “ Four more of the Negroes who participated in the recent outbreak at the workhouse, were tried yesterday and convicted. ‘The evidence was not conclusive as (06 capi- tal offence, and they were accordingly , sentenced to five years imprisonment, and to recejve fifteen lashes, on the first Fri-| day of exery month for six months—tbeir owners, howeyer, baving privilege of sell- ing them out of the State at the end of twelve months.” RAIL ROAD ,SUBSORI ORIPTIONS. Fe a Bed ; ye | 2 Fi Since our last, ten shares mote of Rail Road stock have been taken.» How many more shares shall we have the pleasure of announ¢ing if our next! There are a great many other gentlemen—farmers, mechanics and merchants—who say they- intend to subscribe, hat propose to wait yet a few days: Why wait? It throws a damper over the feelings of those who would otherwise be zealous, and discour- ages many from subscribing at all. There is no use of talking any longer aboat this matter: There is scarcely a man of intel- ligence in the county but must be con- vineed, we think, of every important ar- gument in favor of the work ; and it only remains for them to act in accordance with those convictions. There is scarcely a man in the county but is decidedly in favor of the Road's being built. Let ev- ery such an one come forward without doubt hundreds thata delay and subscribe as much as be is able, if it is only one hundred dollars. The en- terprise cannot succeed while those who should be helping, hold off with folded arms and spend their breath in vain wish- | es. Noman ever built a house or made | a crop by silting down on his hams and | wishing that the one would spring up be- | fore him complete without the use of saw | and adze, or that the other would grow and produce without the use of the plough and hoe. Houses can’t be built in that | way, heither can crops be so raised.— rail road is going to wind itself through | the country like a monster snake, or spring | up like a mushroom. The fact is, this thing of building a rail road, is a big job, and when such a work is undertaken all the hands in the neighborhood must at: tend and help. It is something like roll- ing logs: Now and then a great log is to be moved, and every man must be in his place. He must not only answer when the word is given, but he must also hold up his end of the hand-spike, and do his best. OUR TOWN: Our Town bas presented the appear- ance of a decided improvement in busi- ness during the present week. The streets bave been generally thronged with wag- ons and visitors from a distance, selling and trading. This is an indication that the usual dullness incident to the Sum- mer season here, is beginning to break up; and that the time of active opera- tions is approaching. But what we designed saying under this head more especially, is in relation to the improvements going on here, in build- ing. There are some eight or ten build- ings in progress of erection. The carpen- ters hammer and saw are briskly plied, | and by the first of January, oar Town | will be graced by a number of new hous- es. B. Craige, Esq., Mr. John H. Hardie, John D. Brown, John M. Horahb, and Rob- ert Murphy, are severally building large frame residences. His Hon. Judge Ellis is putting up a large brick dwelling house; and B.F. Fraley, James Murphy and Moses L. Brown, are each of them remod- dling and considerably enlarging other buildings. Mr. Fraley is preparing & house to be used as a store, by Mr. E. Myers, who expects to leave for the Nor- thern cities in a few days to purchase a) stock of goods. These, when finished, with | the improvements of Dr. Whitehead and | Joseph F. Chambers, lately completed, will add very considerably to the interest | and appearance of tbe Town. | We hear of others who intend to build, | but have not yet commenced. Prepara- | tion is making, however, for erecting a, new Lutheran Church. A lot has been | purchased for that purpose, and workmen | are making the brick. This building, we jearn, is to be a handsome one.

One incident con- | dently fancied it was night and she was, Carolina, for the want of these engines c nf : mation, is in precisely the same state of ignor- ance and apathy, that Penusylvanig_ was twen- yi 3 ty-five years ago. Like Pennsylvania, mh her, a kind and j 4 was, she has within herself immense oped resources. With the exception of coal, there are no advantages possessed by that State which North Carolina has not, and which are now lying “ in cold obstruction,” awaiting for that vital principle which wil] awake them to life and usefulness, and which shall make the Old North State for the South,-what Pennsyl- vania is to the North—a mineral treasure house. That grand system of public improvement in Pennsylvania, which has resulted in adding so much wealth and commercial prosperity to that State, like our proposed North Carolina Rail Road, was commenced in defiance of a large party opposed to a public system of internal im- ly congratulate themselves upon the success that has attended that enterprize. These works are now an enduring monument of honor to those who have carried out this great system against such strong opposition, and are becom. ing every year an increasing source of immense revenue to the State. Over one anda half mil- lions of dollars was received in toll from them last year. The coal trade alone yields to the State a revenue of over seven hundred thousand. Ninety millions of bushels of grain have been raised where, before the improvements were constructed, only enough for home consumption was produced. ‘This vast agricultural and min. eral wealth. without these canals and railways would have Jain a dead capital forever. Fifiy years ago, Virginia exceeded New York in commercial importance ; what achange has duced ! North Carolina is still more supine than Vir- ginia. The humiliating fact cannot be hid, that she is far behind her sisters in importance and prosperity. But I trust that this is now over, and that North Carolina, like a giant, arousing from his slumbers, will shake off her apathy, and determine to take her own natural and proud position as the Keystone of the South.— Let her make profit from her delay, and avoid the errors of other States which have impaired so much the usefulness of their labors. Let her adopt a system of improvements, and pursue it steadily, turning not aside for the thousand impediments which ignorance, policy, and interest will place before it. A main line extending by the most direct route from the sea- board to the extreme West, should first be made. This is all important as offering inducements to the development of the West, and a bond of union between the Eastern and Western por- tions of the State, which is now being weak- ened by the inducements beld out by sister States to connect them with their cities. This great work should avoid the possibility of such own seaboard. Again, the geographical posi- that this great work would cut them at right angles, rendering lateral connections through { which, passing through the main trunk, would diffuse life and energy through the whole body | corporate. | A journey to the Western portion of this State—now performed over indescribably bad roads, presents at every mile, prodigies of un- used opportunities, immense and fertile valleys, capable of supplying the whole South with the | products of Agriculture, lying under the solemn daminion of the forests ; mountains of undevel. | the wilderness. All these sources of immense wealth would be opened by the construction of | the Central Railway. Let us awake then from our slumbers.

GRICULTURISTS, and all other persons interest- ed in the subject of making, preserving, and in- creasing the fertilizing qualities of MANURE, are notified that the heap of MATERIALS put up after | the BOMMER PATENT MANURE METHOD, on the plantation of John I. Shaver, Esq., at Salisbury, is now ready for examination. The Planters of Rowan are particularly invited to examine the heap at any time during the progress of decomposition. The heap will be saturated with the Lye on the 23d, 27th and 30th instant. Any person disposed to adopt the method. can obtain the right at the Mansion Hotel, until the 30th day of August. The Bommer method of making manure has been adopted by several hundred planters in the State of North Carolina, and has received the unqualified approval of gentlemen of science and of agricultural experience, who have investigated its principles and tested its results throughout the Union ; and it is now clearly demonstra- ted by the most indisputable evidence, that this method is capable of converting expeditiously and economically, not only all kinds of vegetable substances, but also com- mon earth, into rich and fertilizing manure, more effi- cient and durable in its effects than stable manure, and that it can be varied, by following the directions in the work accompanying the right to use it, to suit every kind of soil and cultivated crop. Comparisons have been instituted for the purpose of ascertaining its effects upon soils and vegetation, and have universally resulted in favor of the Bommer over the stable manure, plants being invariably more luxuri- ant, and the foliage of a deeper verdure, solely attribu- table to the rich saline matter it contains, which pre- serves the humidity of the soil. 16 Co.

Peticotas, M. D., Demonstrator of Anatomy. The Museum, Apparatus and illustrations for the de- monstrator departments have recently received many ad- ditions, and are now very complete. The facilities for Practical Anatomy, are unsurpassed. The Clinical ad- vantages are fully commensurate with the wants of the studen‘, and especially valuable to those preparing for practice at the South. Clinical Lectures are given twice a week in the College Infirmary, (which is in immediate contiguity with the College.) and once a week in the Richmond Alms House. In these institutions the dis- eases occurring in Southern practice are met with, and the student has the most eligible opportunities of becom- ing acquainted with their typesand treatment. The fre- quency of Surgical operations before the class, together with the facilities for witnessing the treatment of Surgi- cal cases, renders this one of the best Schools of Practical Surgery.

It was formerly a statue of Jupiter, and was changed by one of the early Popes into that of the apostle by some mysterious power, without chang- ing ite material substance in the least ; which gave rise | to the remark of the wag, that it was formerly the statue of Dupiter, and it is that of Jew-Peter still. The report that the great toe of this statue has been entirely worn away by the lips of the Catholics is not exactly true.— Yt ie a Protestant slander. Yet it is true that the re- peated kisses of the faithful for hundreds of years have worn it away considerably. No Catholic passes it with- out stopping to kiss it. To see poor ignorant people do 06, ‘that is bad enough ; but to see men of learning and | scletice, aud of cullivated minds, like the Pope and Car- dinals, constantly approaching this image with all rev- kiss it, wipe it again, and go on their way, is quite be- yond endurance. One can have no patience with them. Dr. Baird. Kosuth’s Appeal to the Hungarian People.

But - as we kuéw that the people of our country are a manly rage, resolved to defend themselves io the last against Godless opprearion, we lay all unworthy concealment of our jon aside, and call opt openly,.that the country iein danger? Because we know that the people are able to themselves and the conntry, we lay open the danger in ali its magnitude, calling upon eve citizen in the mame of God’s country, to look ein ihe ses and seize arms to meet it. We will neither flatter nor discourage, but we declare opealy, that unless the whole nation rise up to defend ituelf to the last drop of its blood; all the nobte blood shed alfeady is in vain, and our country will fall, the Russian lenoat then railing over an enslaved people, on the ground where the ashes of our ancestors repose.

Two or three of the early numbers of the paper were sent, and then its visits Were suspended.” And this is the return, we believe, that Southern editors generally meet with.— We are solicited to publish the prospec- tuses for papers in Northern cities and poff them into notoriety ; but so soon as their prosperity has been secured by the assistance which the country presses have afforded them, and they no longer need assistance, they almost invariably kick the stools from beneath them which rais- edthem into greatness. We have long been of opinion that Southern editors would better consult their own interest by ying for these exchanges in money, than | by lending the use of their columns to pro- mote their circulation, in many instances to their own prejudice ; even though the “promise” of an exchange should be more liberally complied with.—Hillsboro’ Re- corder Caution to Purents—We are pained to learn that, on Tuesday last, an inter- esting little son of Mr. Abner McCoy, an estimable citizen of this place, was attack- e@ by a vicious sow. as he was trying to rive her pigs with his little whip; and that in all probability, he would have been literally torn.to pieces, hac not his watebfal mother beard his shrieks of a- latm and instantly flown to his assistance. It was with some difficulty the enraged animal could be diverted from her savage purpose. The poor little fellow received several wounds in his back, arm, cheek, and the side of his head. The physician having been called in, it appeared that the injary was not as great as it was at first supposed. A report has gone abroad that the vi- éious sow was rabid, having been bitten by a mad dog, of which, however, there is no evidence. Two or three dogs al- leged to be rabid were killed in that vi- einity last week, and in this, doubtless, originated the report of the mad sow.— We would not produce useless alarm ;— but we cannot too strongly impress our readers with the importance of taking great precautions, at this season of the year, to prevent the spread of that terri- ble malady, hydrophobia, by the destruc- tien or confinement of all suspected ani- mals.— Lincoln Republican. The following anecdote is going its rounds in Vienna concerning Bem. For pr a he has had forebodings of his death. He himself has for many years assigned the year 1850 as the term of his existence. During his stay in Paris he once dined with the North American am- bassador. The conversation fell on fore- bodings, omens, and the like. The ambas. sador laughed at them, but Bem declared be firmly believed in them, and related, how he had thrice seen, when in his twen- tieth year his own grave-stone, with his name, and the date of 1850 on it. Bem received in Transylvania several danger- ous wounds.

A company of traders from Santa Fe, headed by arrived here last evening, bring- ing specie amounting to $100,000. The party left Santa Fe on the 7th of July, bringing a large mail to Fort Leavenworth and some 500 letters from California. The Southern emigrants through Texas and EI Pas- 8o are reported to be suffering much for the want of wa- ter. Major Chevallie, a Texan, at the head of 25 Ameri- cans, has accepted the terms offered by the Governor of Chihuahua to fight the Apache Indians. ‘The contract price for the scalp of a warrior is $200 ; for others $150, and for prisoners $200 each. All the captured animals to be retained by the captors. Chevallie and his party had made a treaty to this effect. and made one expedition. When last seen by Lea and Slaughter, who have ar- rived here, they were on their return to Chihuahua from a “bunt.” They had taken nine scalps, four prisoners and fifty-five animals. Later dates from Santa Fe, which are up to the 9th of July inclusive, state that the Indians were commit- ting sad depredations. On the 8th of July two Ameri- cans and two Mexicans were killed twenty-five miles from Santa Fe. Lieut. Thomas had encountered a band of Camaches, near Sawgre Christi Placer and killed seventeen of them. Trade was dull, and the country free from Cholera. THINGS IN CALIFORNIA. Correspondence of the Newark Daily Advertiser. San Francisco, June 16, 1849. I arrived here about the 20th of April from Valparai- so, and after four days took charge of a brig on the coast at $300 per month. While I was gone I hurt my right thumb, and a felon came on the first joint. It only cost me $50 to pay the doctor for curing it. Iam now clerk in a clothing store, I shall probably go to the mines in September. Dry goods are continually falling, and some things can be actually bought at less than New York | invoices. In my opinion in one year there will be a re- action, and goods will rise ; but 3 present they will not pay for discharging and freight. I would turn my at- tention to the Law, but now there is neither Law nor Gospel here, generally speaking, and yet it is the most orderly place that I ever was in. I heard Rev. Mr. Hunt preach on Sunday, and saw Mrs. H. who had just arrived from the Islands. You may believe the most exaggerated statements in reference to the mines and in reference to the country in general—and believe me they will fall short of the truth. SV ALG: San Francisco, June 12. Goods of every description can be bought here ; some of them at reasonable prices; vessels are arriving daily to increase the stock, and their freight is lying all along shore, with no houses to store them, and no market.— | The few merchants established have a monopoly of trade, and charge pretty much what they please. Pork I have seen sold for $5 per barrel ; we have to pay from 20 to 374 cents a pound at the stores; Fresh Beef 183 cents; Fresh Pork 374 cents, Mutton $2 per quarter, Flour 44 cents per pound by the bag, Beans $2 to a barrel, Sugar 25 cents, Tea $1 50, Ham 40 cents, Milk $1 50 a gallon, Butter $1 50 a pound, Cheese 50 cents, Coffee 25 cents, Bread 25 cents a loaf, like 6 penny loaves at home; Vegetables (there are none but potatoes brought from elsewhere,) 25 cents a pound ; Board from 9 to $25 per week with and without lodg- ings. Labor is high, common labor scarce at $1 per hour; Sailors 150 to $200 a month; Carpenters with tools 12 to 16 dollars per day, &c. This price of laber is one thing that makes prices so high, and the Monop- oly of the merchants is another. Places cannot be had to start stores, so that those already established have full swing. The Gold is there ; but it is only tou be had by the hardest work and hardest fare. The gold region is known to extend from the Umpgua river in Oregon Ter- ritory to the head of the Gulf on both sides of the moun- tain, and on all the streams running from them. People who have been up tell us to take nothing but what we can carry on our backs, and that is a good rule all the way through. Fir, spruce and pine trees grow to an enormous height in the country, and if a man had a good site for a mill his fortune would be made. The expense for getting up to the mines is about $30 for a man, $4 per 100 for stuff to Suter’s Fort, and $20 to $40 from thence, a distance of 40 miles to his mill. Mules, or your own back, are the only modes of con- veyance beyond into the diggings. Many will be dis- appointed, and many are returning sick of the prospect. It is all a lottery ; a man may be successful and he may not. The published reports are on the whole generally true ; but they have not told the hardships ; and misrepresent- ations have been made about the climate of San Fran- cisco. A cold N. W. wind blows all the time, filling the air with dust ; and at this time I am dressed just as I would be for winter at home, and have difficulty in keep- ing warm at night with two blankets. Foreigners are plenty, and of all nations. preaches on Sunday to the Kanakas. came across one named Thomas Hope, who wasin New- Mr. Hunt ark 30 years ago as interpreter to the Foreign Mission Society. . What the effect of this excitement has been, and is likely to be, you can readily see. It is bringing togeth- er thousands from every nation: it has made and will | make many rich, while many have suffered loss of che- racrer, hopes and goods, and who can calculate what the sacrifice will be when all the vessels on the way reach | here? The town is filled with goods and no market.— Every person has more stuff than he knows what to do with, beside the immense amount sent out on specula- tion. And yet I never saw such chances for making money : tin pans, which sell at 374 cents, here bring (as many as can be made) $4 50; every man must have one. Those brought from home are good for nothing , for washing gold. Tell any one who has the fever bad enough to start, | to bring as many woollen clothes as he wants to wear out in three months, and nothing else but gold. Silver is only used to make change and to gamble with. Dust cannot be bought with it. Drinking, gambling in every variety, with some games not used in the U. S., and every kind of vice stalks bold- ly out here without disguise. It is not a strange sight tu see 100 doubloons staked on a single card. The gamblers are coining money. There are so many ways to make money that I could scarcely enumerate them. <A whale boat is worth from $500 to $800; a small craft of 50 to 75 tons is a sure fortune, and is worth from $8,000 to $10,000; a ship can be bought for about that, some less. Every thing is turned topsy-turvy. The smaller a thing is, the more it is worth, as a general rule. The way they bring in cattle is curious to those who never saw it. Dealers go out and bring in horses and cattle in one drove, on the full ran: those who make it their business will drive a large herd of half wild ani- | mals into a common sized gate on the full run. The daily business of one butcher in the place amounts to $500, an ox costs him, alive, about $16, on an average, and will weigh from 600 to 800 Ibs.; when dressed, he | A baker buys his flour for | sell this meat at 18} cents. 44 cents a pound, and bakes 200 loaves a day at 25 cts. a loaf.

I am fearful our machine will | not work, it is entirely different from any thing used.— After taking it up to the mines, and paying out $50, I | am afraid we shall have to throw it away.

Though too modest to boast of our en- terprising manufacturing companies, we must he permitted to express our heart- felt satisfaction at their prosperity. Ifour friends abroad wish to know how mach we are doing for the public good, we ad- vise them to come among us, that they may see and judge for themselves. We will meet them at all times with the hand of welcome extended. and promise them true southern hospitality. The Cotton Factory at Cedar Falls is the oldest in this country, and has been in successful operation for several years. _ About twelve months ago, the company deemed their prospects sufficiently flat- tering to justify an enlargement of the scale of their operations. They have now just completed their improvements, in a style which is seldom equalled in this country. They have a splendid new brick building, covered with tin, which, in point of durability and taste, can be surpassed by few, if any, in the State. fifty-four looms in operation, one hundred and twenty operatives in their employ, | and a capital of sixty thousand dollars.— | The buildings occupied by the operatives, | numbering some 25 or 30, are all exceed- ingly neat and comfortable, and owned by the company. To give an idea of the | Virtue, morality and industry that prevail ‘there, we have only to state that, instead of that refined place called a “ grocery,” | they have decidedly the neatest and most | comfortable church in the county, in which serviee is regularly performed, and on the tables of which may be found a good as- | sortment of Sunday School books. “ Lib- jerty, Union, Industry, Temperance,” is their motto there, and faithfully do they act in the spirit thereof.—Ashboro’ Her'd. _ CATAWBA FACTORY. | One day last week we had the pleasure of going out and getting a good view of this fac. | tory,—of its internal and external arrangements. | The morning was very pleasant, and it was a treat, duly and highly appreciated by us to | leave the dusty streets and pent up air of the _town, and get amid green fields, the breeze of | fanning forests the circuitous and irregular road, | walled in occasionally by dense foliage which | gave a refreshing coolness to the atmosphere | and to catch the unembarrassed currents of air which swept through the branches and beneath the bowers nature has spread so lavishly abroad. The country is broken between town and the | | factory, but varied with hi!l and dale as it is, it _is quite picturesque and interesting. The roads | are tolerably good. We found the factory snug. _ly ensconced on the side of the noble Catawba | in a very pretty romantic little cove. ‘The vil- _ lage of cottages around, pleasantly located on the shady and verdant knolls, makes the place "wear a cosy air of rural ease and comfort, quite | delightful. abe factory has turned out some of the best shirting and cotton yarns ever manufactured in the South, and it has won so deserved a repu- ‘tation for the quality of its goods that we be. _lieve they have no difficulty in meeting a de. _mand for all they are able to supply. But | this factory is so well known that we did not _so much intend noticing its commercial pros- pects, as to note merely that we had visited its | locale and found it a pleasant place, its spin- | dles, looms and cards in active motion, and its | girls—but hush ! that “dark haired, dark eyed one”’ is there in beauty’s pride : ‘‘ Of her bright face one glance will trace A picture on the brain,” And he that’s seen her once will wish } To see her soon again. _And persons any ways susceptible, to certain nameless but very common emotions, had bet. ter not encounter her “ glance.” The machinery of the Catawba factor of the most superior kind, embracing all of the most important Jate improvements.

A gentleman exhibited to us on Satur- day last, a beautiful lump of virgin gold picked up on the land of Mr. Pringle Mc- Ginnis, about 8 miles from Charlotte. It weighed 21 dwts. and 18 grains and is worth $21 50. It was found inthe road and had been displaced by a carriage striking against it. It had the appearance to us of having been melted, but persons more learnt in such matters than we are say such is not the case. Mr. McGinnis in- tends to make a further search and see if he cannot find a few more such “* depo- sites.” — Charlotte Journal. They have | 13 | From the Hillsborough Recorder. Mr. Editor :—It was my privilege to attend the Rail Road meeting at Provi- | dence, in Alamance county, on Thursday last, and | heartily wish every citizen of Orange and Alamance could have been there. Our esteemed, eloquent and patri- Otic citizen ex-Governor Graham, was there. Mr. Caldwell, the Legislator of Guilford, who, seeing and knowing his duty to his state dared to do it, was there; and both did good service. In these de- generate times, when most of our Politi- cians are on the alert to see which way the popular current is setting, that they may smoothly and quietly glide along with it to places of profit and honor, the cardinal principle with them being their own advancement to high places in the State; it is indeed refreshing to find here and there a noble spirit who has the inde- pendence and patriotism to take the lead in important measures, and to devote their time and their talents in endeavoring to show to their fellow citizens their true in- 0 The Election of Judges by the peo- ple may sound well enough to some ears, itmay look Democratic, too, but we be- lieve that if the people will see through the low humbuggery which basso far dic- tated the proposition, they will, first, re- flect, as they should do, before they form a decided opinion. The J adiciary of this State and of South Carolina, elected as they are by their Legislatures, stand forth as examples to the world, of purity and un- flinching devotion to law and right, and patriotism. Point to the gentlemen who have been elected to our Judicial bench, and we would ask, where is the man who can asperse their characters? There are always, however, individuals, whose sole chances for notoriety are based upon inno- vations of old established rules and cus- toms—men who would take advantage of late popular prejudices, to undermine the government itself, if it conflicted with their almighty dollar influence—but.such are to be watched, and appreciated, only, as their local knowledge should give them «J did. . it” nt that’ and who the water. no other county in the Dis- trict has stood to its tackle like Moore— and a thousand cheers te the gallact Whigs of our native bailiwick for it, we ! While others permitted themselves to be poisoned with prejudice and distracted with petty jeaousies, the good and trié men of Moore marched up to the polls in solid phalanx and deposited their bak lots of the candidate of their party.— Their conduct in this respect is worthy of all praise, and we trust that their breath- ren throughout the District wilt fidtior terest, and to persuade and urge them to do their duty to themselves, to each other, and to their country. The facts and ar- | guments brought forward on that occa- sion, and the plain and candid manner in which they were stated, could not fail to convince every unprejudiced and inquir- ing mind of the importance of engaging heart and hand in the greak work of build- ing the Central Rail Road. 1 shall not attempt to give a sketch of the speeches, but shall content myself with urging eve- ry man who feels an interest in the pros- perity of the State,his own welfare and the welfare of his children, to wake up and inquire into the matter ;—trusting | that every one who candidly makes the inquiry will not fail to be convinced that his interest and duty leads the way, and that a strong impulse will induce all our citizens to come up to the work like men —like worthy sons of the old North State —determined to succeed. Mr. Editor, the Central Rail Road can be built, and must be built ; and that, too, by the sons of North Carolina. Let eve- ry man lay hold according to his ability and it is done. Let us look into the mat- ter. We are told that the counties of Or- ange and Alamance must raise $150,000, or the work will fail. I say they can do it; and do it with ease, if they will. Or- ange, including Alamance, has 1500 Sen- ate Yoters. We will take it for granted that one half of these have not the ability to subscribe any thing; yet if the other half will make the effort it can be done. There are surely in the counties 3 who can subscribe 3,000 10 os 2,000 10 1,500 20 1,000 30 500 30 300 100 260 400 100 140 6“ These are, I think, Mr. Editor, reason- able calculations, and if the proper efforts are made I feel confident that success will | be the result. There is much to be said and much to be learned about rail roads, and I hope there will be a general attendandance of the people at Hillsborugh on Tuesday of Orange Court, when they will be address- ed on the subject by Gov. Swain and Gov. Graham. A SUBSCRIBER. THE CENTRAL ROAD.

Wate ventaring this step in the universal march of Periodicals, let it be anderstood that I am not anxious to declate myself a mental Joan of Arc, bearing special thission to save the people in their noble war against Ig- norance and Wrong. I simply prepare a plain feast, where the viands will be all of my own choosing, and some of my own dressing, hoping that if what I provide be wholesome and relishing, I shall have a host of friends at my board, whose kind words and cheerfal encour- agement will keep me in a proud and honourable posi- tion at the head of the table. I have been too long known by those whom I address, to feel strange in addressing them. My earliest rhymes, written from intuitive impulse, before hackneyed expe- rience or polite judgment could dictate their tendency, were accepted and responded to by those whose good word is a “ tower of strength.” ‘The first active breath of nature that swept over my heart-strings, awoke but earnest melodies, which I dotted down in simple notes ; and when I found that others thought the tune worth learning—when I heard ny strains hummed about the sacred altars of domestic firesides, and saw old men, bright women, and children scanning my ballad strains, then was I made to think that my burning desire to pour out my soul's measure of music was given fora purpose. My young bosom throbbed with rapture, for my feelings had met with responsive echoes from honest and genu- ine Humanity, and the glory of heaven seemed partial- ly revealed, when I discovered that I held power over the affections of earth. The same spirit which prompted my first attempt will mark my present one. What I have done has found generous support,—let me trust that what I may do will still meet the kind hand of help. I have full confidence in my friends, and believe if I offer them the combina- tion of utility and amusement, they will freely take the ware I bring, and not think worse of me for mixing with them in the market-place of Activity and Labour. I am anxious to give my feeble aid to the gigantic struggle for intellectual elevation now going on, and fling my energies and will into a cause where my heart will zealously animate my duty. It is too true that there are dense clouds of Ignorance yet to be dissipated—huge mountains of Error yet to be removed ; but, there is a stirring development of pro- gressive mind in ‘the mass,” which only requires free communion with Truth to expand itself into that en- lightened and practical wisdom on which ever rests the perfection of social and political civilization ; and I be- | lieve that all who work in the field of Literatute with | sincere desire to serve the many by arousing generous | sympathies and educational tastes,need make little pro- Session of their service, for “ the people” have sufficient perception to thoroughly estimate those who are truly “with” and “for” them. I only ask a trial. I will give the best my judgment can offer from the co-operation of healthy and vigorous talent, and my own conunued efforts. Exiza Coox.

From the Louisville Journal. SONG. How sweet it is for us to know, That there are hearts that burn With love for us where’er we go, And sigh for our return. Then, though the world is cold and drear And gives the bosom pain, We've but to turn to scenes more dear, And all is bright again. But sad must be the home of those, Condemned to live alone, With none to cheer amid life’s woes, And none to call their own. No season sweet of joy doth come, To shed its fragrance there, No sunshine to disperse the gloom That broods a dark despair. The heart can ne’er be truly blest, Unless it can recline Upon some fond, congenial breast, Where love’s sweet tendrils twine. Then we can brook life’s many ills, Of sorrow and of woe, For love a soothing balm distils To cheer us whilst below. A ROMANTIC INCIDENT. | The latest piece of romance we have | seen is described in the annexed letter of | the correspondent of the N. Y. Mirror: | Sagatoca Series, July 27, 1819. | Mr. Editor :—A most singular and ex: | citing instance of female eccentricity and daring recklessness has just transpired here to the equal amusement and amaze- | ment of all. Some ten days since there | arrived in the Southern train, and took | lodgings at Union Hall, a youth apparent. | ly about eighteen or twenty years old, of | Um “COURTING vs. ATTENTION.” An old paper says: “This ae subject which, always important, is becoming pe- culiarly so, and we design to call:the at- tention of the young people occasionally in hope of arresting an alarming and de- structive evil. “ Young ladies are bound to fall in love as soon as possible, and bound to be bound to a partner for life, as soon as the neces- sary preliminaries can be made—such as getting a lover, fascinating bim thorough- ly, being courted, having the question popped, getting the wedding garments in array, and inviting friends to see them prettily married. The young man is bound to be gallant and polite, and to admire, without stint, all the pretty young girls known and unknown ; to doff the beaver, | offer his arm, invite to the ride, the plea- sant saunder—in short, to all and sun- dries indeed, to show his devotion and gallantry towards the sex, until some en- chantress throws her spell around him, | and he sinks, subdued, into a common place. indifferent, careless Benedict. “ Now out of these things grow diffi- culties. A young man admires a pretty girl, and must manifest it ; he cannot help doing so for the life of him. The young | lady has a tender heart, reaching out like | vine tendrils for something to cling to; she sees the admiration, is flattered, be- gins soon to love, expects some tender a- vowal, and perhaps gets so far as to decide that she will.choose a white satin under | a thin gauze, &c., at the very moment the | | gallant that she loves, is popping the ques- | strange man then gave him a piece of black | tion (good! ha! ha!) to another damsel ten miles off. Now the difficulty lies in not precisely understanding the difference between polite attentions and the tender manifestations of sighing love. Admir- ing a beautiful girl, and wishing to make a wife of her, are not always the same ; | me of ie ma lge nious se i in's Nest.—This is , ee P ecavele of the , and is the juve of -w tegular‘down SS Tophes Whe desig itd deceive pou try into the speedy ma ying a A. aad which is accomplished -by the iar construction of the machine. At the bottom of the nest there is a kind of trap-door, which works on a binge, being supported by a spring. The moment an egg is placed on. this, the trap opens and lets it fall through into a cushioned apartment prepared for its reeeption. The consequence is that the bird just as she is pre- paring to cackle, glances at the nest and see- ing nothing in it, actually reasons herself into the beliet, that she has not Jaid at all, resumes | her position on the nest in hopes of making a- more successful effort. | On the first trial of this curious contrivance | before the Commissioner of Patents, to test its | | virtues, a singular result was effected. A large | imported Russian hen was located on the nest | and left to her meditations. On account of | pressing business, the hen was forgotten until | the next day, when to the utter astonishment | of the commissioner, and even the inventor | himself, on examining the nest they found no- thing in it but a pair of claws, bill, and a bunch of feathers; the mystery was explained, how- ever, upon examining the chamber beneath, in | which they found half a bushel of beautiful | eggs.—Aurora Borealis | | The Devil and the Tailor.—We glean the | following from the Pennsylvanian of the 13th ‘inst: A Jersey tailor, one Jonas Topliff, de- | clares positively that he has in his shop a suit | of clothes which he made for the Devil. He. says he was hunting out in the marshes when | he met a strange-looking man who asked him if he wasn’t a tailor. He replied“ Yes.” The > _ cloth, and told him to make a suit of clothes to | his measure, and to bring them out on the | marsh one week from that day, when he would | | pay for them. Jonas measured him, agreed to ' make the clothes, and did make them; but | thinking a strange place to carry clothes, he | first crossed himself and spinkled the clothes singular beauty, with raven locks, a spark- | 244 therefore, it is necessary that a girl; With water in the Catholic Church at Newark. | ling black eye, a complexion in which the | lily and the rose seemed vividly striving | for the supremacy: a voice of silvery | tone and mellow richness, and an ease, | maturity and brilliancy of manner alto. | gether unusual in a male so young, and | which attracted the attention and excited | universal admiration. In short, he ap- | peared to be one of those specimens of | boyhood upon which nature is sometimes | so lavish in the bestowment of her gifts, and which are as rare as they are pleas- ing and attractive, combining all the del. | ieacy and richness of female beauty, with | @® precociousness of mind and manner equally marked and unusual. With a bold, yet by no means rode familiarity, he soon made the acquaintances of mothers and misses, who seemed alike captivated with the young charmer, and courted his attentions with jealous rivalry; the for- mer confiding in his youth as a protection to their daughters, and the latter subdued and enraptured by the beauty of his per- son and the elegance of his address. In the ball room, with his fashionable dress coat buttoned up to the chin, his symmet- rical limbs, his contracted waist, his round, | fall, chest, his delicate hands and tiny | feet, as he moved with exquisite elasticity | and grace through the dance, all eyes and | many hearts were fastened with lavish | intensity. After thus rioting a week amid | the most extravagant attentions of the | mamas, and the no less extravagant af. | feetions of their captivated daughters, the ‘he most still, awkward, stupid, yet anx- | | young “ Uriah Baden,” as he booked him- self, suddenly disappeared. From a fear | of detection, or some other cause, he re- | tired to the neighboring village of Ball. | ston, and entered the National Law School there as a pupil, under the pretence that | his parents would be on in a day or two | with the bulk of his baggage. Struck | with his appearance and the ease and el- | egance of his conversational powers, the | President, J. W. Fowler, Esq., assigned | bim at once a performance in off-handed | speaking, which, with trial and argument | should be on the alert to discover to which | class the attentions paid her by handsome and fashionable young gentlemen belong. It is hard to draw the exact line of sepa- ration between polite attentionsand down- right courting, but our great age and ex- tensive experience have enabled us to) observe enough to aid the young and art- less in deciding this matter. “ First then—if a young fellow greets | ; you in a loud, free and hearty voice—if | | he knows precisely where to put his hat, North American states that by a new reg- or his hands—if he stares you straight in the eye with his own wide open—if he turns his back to you to speak to another —if he tells you who made his coat—if he squeezes your hand—if he eats hearti- ly in your presence—if he fails to talk very kindly of your mother—if he sneez- es when you are singing, or criticises your curls, or fails to be very foolish in fifty ways every hour, then don’t fall in love with him for the world ; he only admires you, let him do or say what be will. But if he be merry with every one else, but quiet with you; if he be anxious to see that your tea is sufficiently sweetened, and your dear ,2rson well wrapped up when you go out in the cold; if he talks very low and never looks you in the eye; | if his cheeks are red, or if he be pale and his nose blueish, itis enough: if he romps with your sister, sighs like a pair of bel- lows, looks solemn when you are address- ed by another gentleman, and in fact, is ious of your male friends, you may go a- | head and invoke the shaft of Cupid with | perfect safety, and inake the poor fellow too happy for his skin to hold him.” RESPONSIBILITY OF SOCIETY. An excellent divine of this city, friend of ours, said to us one day, “* We have not learned the responsibily of society to individual. talk much of the responsibility of individuals to society, but we forget that society is bound to protect all her children.” | He then went out on the marshes, where he | | saw the strange man; but the moment he /came in sight the man vanished, and he was _ | unable to find him. Some people think Jonas | invented the story to attract people to his shop, | when he exhibits the clothes—the cloth of them being of beautiful silk fine texture. At all e-— vents, Jonas’s custom has increased wonder. | fully since he has become tailor of his Satanic Majesty. | | | | | Mint Regulation.—The Philadelphia | | ulation which has been adopted at the , Mint, with the concurrence of the Secre- | tary of the Treasury, and which is to take | effect on and after the first of July, gold | \combined with silver will be parted at | | such rates as will yield an increased re- | turn to depositors. The California gold, | | for example, will generally pay about a, | half of one per cent. more than heretofore; | and the return upon pale doubloons,— | _Bechtler’s coins, and most of the gold of | | North Carolina, will be somewhat greater. | The Union is out upon the proclamation | of the President. The point of the objec- | tion seems to be, that the Proclamation, | in the opinion of the Union, was written | |in Washington, carried on to Harrisburg, | and sent back to Washington. It may be |so—for what we know. But what possi- | | ble argument that can be against either | | the propriety or the policy of the Procla- mation we cannot see.—Alex.

Jn examining Spark’s writings of Wash- ington, We encountered another story of a kindred character, equally interesting aod not a whil less authentic, though but jittle known. We take pleasure in giv- ing it to the press and hope that it may be copied by each of the thousand and one Journals of the land, and take its place in the popular memory along side of the ad- yeniure of Sergeant Champe. There is something noble and touching, in the gal- Jant soldier refusing alike promotion and euniary recompense, and limiting his expectation of reward, for services so im- rtant, to the restoration of his trusty firelock. ; In volame VIII, page 150, there is a let- ter from Washington to Lafayette, dated Philadelphia September 2d 1781,in which he says : “Should the retreat of Lord Corn- willis be cut off, by the arrival of other of the French fleets’ | am pursuaded you will do all in your power to prevent his escape by land. May that great felicity be reserved for you.” Mr. Sparks sub- joins to this passage the following note : *This felicity it was bis good fortune torealise. The British commander sought for an opportunity to escape into North Carolina but the address and vigilance of Lafayette disconcerted all his schemes. After Cornwallis had arrived at York, and commenced his fortifications, Lafay- ette asked Colone] Barber if he knew of a trusty capable soldier, whom he could send as a spy into Cornwallis’s camp. He answered that there was one in the New Jersey line, by the name of Morgan, who was in all respects suited to such an enterprise. The general sent for him, and told him that he bad a very difficult task to propose to him which was that he should pretend to desert, go over to the British camp, and enlist as a soldier.— Morgan answered, that he was ready to Winything in the service of his country, F to oblige his general, but his feelings révolted at such a proposal. He desired the reputaton of a good soldier and a zeal- ous true lover of his country, but he could not endure the thoughts of being a spy. He must assume the character of a spy, and, if detected, he would not only lose his life, but bring lasting disgrace upon hisname. After some con versation, however, he told the general that he would goon one condition, which was, that, in ease any disaster should happen to him, the general should make the true state of the case known, and have the particulars published in the N. Jersey gazettes, that no reproach might come upon his family and friends for his supposed misconduct. Tothis the general assented. Morgan joined the British camp and enlisted. Lafayette left every thing to his discretion, but told him that he wish- ed intelligence of important movements, . - BRUNER & JAMES, one favor to ask,” replied Morgan; “ du- | | | | ee orem omen ae meee a hactecalle be muh aaet “ KEEP a CHECK UPON ALL YOUR Editors & Proprietors.

We may-recofd it, not asa matter of merit, perhaps, bat for the sake of historical truth—that the youthful ban- dit never. was known to perpetrate any deed of murder for the sake of plunder, though he did several to avoid arrest. At length the rumor of his daring felonies ceased suddenly, and notwithstanding a reward of five thousand dollars was of- fered for his apprehension by the Govern- or of the State, he was heard of no more in North Carolina. At the first settlement of the fertile delta, bordering on the St. Francis, there came an emigrant, who called himself John Hill, and who soon succeeded in ac- quiring universal popularity. Although of moderate means, he was sober, indus- trious, generous and hospitable ; and such continued to be his character, in the new country of his adoption, for twelve suc- cessive years. During all that long pe- riod he never had a personal difficulty or quarrel with any human being; and yet every body was satisfied, that such a peaceful life—singular for that latitude, was not owing to a ‘vant of courage, or deficiency in power to perform good ser- vice, in any sort of battle-field ; for of all bear-hunters that ever pierced the jun- gles of cane in “the great swamp,” or scended by torch-light into the dark caves of the Ozark Mountains, he was celebrated as the most fearless. He was repeatedly elected to the Ter- | ritorial Legislature, where he distinguish- | ed himself by a strong, impassioned elo- | quence, as a chief leader in the Demo- | cratic ranks. He was next, as we have already seen, a member of the Conven- | tion that formed the State Constitution; | and was elected again the ensuing year | to represent his county in the Senate of Arkansas. At this period commenced his second series of misfortunes. Hill’s nearest neigh- bors were the Strongs,—four brothers of considerable wealth, more ambition, and | if we may borrow the phrase of the coun- | try, “ famous fighters.” Notwithstanding their character was | so dissimilar from that of the pacific “bear- | hunter,” a close and cordial intimacy | grew up between them; and Hill, in an ungarded moment, made the eldest bro- | ther, George, a confident as to the secrets of his previous history. It happened that this same George conceived a violent de- | sire for political distinction, and request- ed Hill to resign his seat in the Senate in the illiberal friend’s favor. Hill refused, und the Strongs conspired for a terrible revenge. Writing back to Carolina, they procured a copy of the reward offered for the arrest of Nixon Curry, the far-famed | robber; and then collecting a party of a | dozen desperate men, they attempted to capture Hill in his own house. The lat- ter had gone armed, with his enormous | double-barrelled shot gun, two long rifle , pistols, and a knife so heavy, that few oth- | er hands besides his own could wield it. The assault of the Strongs proved horrible to themselves. Hill killed two of the. | { times, yet still.escaped withont a age Bat this could be ‘no: wonder ;. for even brave mefi's hands -have shook when they saw him, and shaking hands gén- erally make very poor shots. During the September term, 1843, of the Circuit Court of Pope county, in which Hill resided, he got out of bed one morn- ing uneommonly gloomy, and, while at the breakfast table, suddenly burst into tears. “ What is the matter, my dear ?” asked Lucy—that beautiful Lacy. who had for- merly left ber wealthy home in Carolina for the robber and robber’s cave. “T have had a dreadful dream,” an- swered the husband, shuddering at the recollection; “1 saw George Strong in my sleep, and he kissed me with his pale lips, that burned like fire, and smelled of sulphur. I am sure] shall die before sunset.”’ “ Then do not go to court, to-day,” said the wife, in accents of earnest entreaty. “ But I will,” replied the husband firm- ly. “ When a man’s time is come, he can- not hide from death ; beside, it would be the act of a coward to do so, if one pes- sesses the power.” Then addressing his son, a fine intelligent boy of thirteen, he continued, “ Bill, you see my gun !”— pointing his finger as he spoke to the great | double barrel hanging on buck horns over the door ; “ practice with that every mor- ning, and the day you are sixteen, shoot the loads of both barrels into the man who will this day kill your father.” “ Yonder comes Mose Howard ; he will protect you, Pa,” remarked Mary, Hill’s eldest daughter, a lovely girl of fifteen, who was to be married the next day to the youth then approaching. Hill and Howard departed ; Lucy with tears, and Mary blushing, both calling out as they left the gate, “ Take good care of him, Mose, and be sure and bring him back to night.” Never fear,” answered the youth, with a laugh: “ Hill will never die till I kill him.” * “Then he will live forever,” retorted Mary, laughing also. As soon as the friends reached the vil- lage, Hill began to drink deeply, and manifested more than ordinary anxiety for a combat, insulting every body that crossed his path, and all the youth's en- treaties failed to pacify him. At last the desperado swore he would clear the court house, and immediately entered with a furiaus countenance, and a threat as to his purpose. Judge, lawyers, jury and spectators, made a general rush for the door. One old drunken man did not run as fast as Hill wished, and he sprang on the imbecile wretch and commenced beat- ing him unmercifolly. Howard then caught hold of his future father-in-law, (alas! who was never to be,) and attempted to pull him away. With eyes red and glaring like a mad dog, Hill instantly turned upon his friend, | and with a single blow of his fist felled | day; and Mr. Bradford, deeming them of more : him to the floor. Then, following up the violent act, he leaped on the youth, and began a most ferocious battery.

TAYLOR’S TOUR. The opposition press, from the Union down, are straining al! their powersto create the im- pression that the president, in bis four through Pennsylvania, is showing himself to be o weak and ridiculous old man. The warmth of his reception by the people is sedulously deprecia- ted, and speeches are put into his mouth by De- moefatic reporters, which he never uttered.— The New York Commercial Advertiser, justly * regarding this ungenerous species of opposition as only calculated “to bring republicanism in. to contempt in the estimation of other nations,” has administered to the Union, particulariy, a very severe rebuke, in an article, from whieh we copy the fullowing well-espressed para- graphe: “ We have been neither inattentive nor un- concerned observers of the President’s progress, on his tour of visitation to those parts of the Union with which he was onacquainted—a alep which we suppose he would scarcely have taken, at such a sickly season, had he not been impelled by a patriotic desire to know some- thing of the people and circumstances of those States, betore the meeting of Cungress and the preparation of his message to that body. At Jeast such an idea seems reasonable, in view of the known character of the man. It ap- bor ;=it is to the strong arms, the bold hearts, and that indomitable energy and perseverance so peculiar to the . -Sazon race, that the praise should be awarded. ; “ My fellow-citizens: I have but one object in the performance of the dutjes which the high position to which you have called me, and which I do uot seek, have imposed—that one purpose is tu secure to all, whether bigh or low, rich or poor, proud or bumble, that equal and exact justice, which our tree institutions guar- antee to all. I was nominated and elected with- out any solicitation on my part, as you well know, and I am here and elsewhere the Presi- dent of the whole people, and not of a party, | must again return to you my most cordial thanks for your kindness toward me, and invoke the blessings of peace, prosperity and health to rest upon you all.” The words we have italicised are diréctly inconsistent with the sentiment imputed to him at York, and must satisfy a!! candid minds that he did not utter it. A correspodent of the New York Tribune relates a pleasing incident of the President’s travel, which will be in place here to satisfy the reader that there is no foundation for the complaint we are noticing. At a small setile- ment on the road beyond Chambersburg, the peared a bold step, to commence such a tour entirely unacquainted, seeing that he was about | io hold an intercourse with a portion of the A- | merican people differing vastly in their habits, | and in their views on many important subjects, from those with whom be bad been accustom. ed to associate ; and especially when it is re- membered that the first six months of bis polit- ical and official life have not yet passed away. Perhaps no other man than Gen. Taylor would have done this; none could have done it with more complete success, both as to the comport. ing of bimself Lefore the people and the con. firmation of the public confidence in his pa- triotism and discretion, and his disinterested singleness of purpuse to exercise his power and influence for bis country’s good. Everywhere his reception has been enthusiastic, and every- where his pure republican manners have made him appear and feel at home among his fellow. citizens. “One would bare supposed that the Wash. ington Union—of the numerous smaller journ- als that follow its lead we say nothing—would fee} and profit by the rebuke thus administered for the discourteous respecting the Chief Mag- istrate of the nation in which it bas indulged. When the late Mr. Polk visited this and other cities in his official capacity, the Whig journ. ale, although they had ample reason to com- plain of the misrepresentation—it he were liv. ing would say the trick—to which he resorted in the notorious Cane letter, to secure his elec- tion, uniformly treated bim witb respect for the sake of the office he held. They never carica- tured his spontaneous speeches, if spontaneous they were or sought to bring contempt upon his person, merely because they disapproved of his political views, or were mortified at the means by which his elevation to the Presidency was President alighted, in arain. He found there a little collection of countrymen, one of whom | he accosted, “ The President extended his hand, but met no response. The man was ina dilemma. The General looked and the crowd wondered.— Said the man, at length, in a plaintive tone, as if he was half sorry, half ashamed: ‘ General, I am a Democrat, and I voted against you.’— Snatching his hand the President said, ‘Isthat all? I never inquire about that; I am as glad to meet you as any man in the crowd. I am the President of the whole people, and not of a party ; I did not come to see the Whigs or De- ocrats ; I came to see the people. I ama friend to all equally, and hope so to administer the Government as to secure to all equal rights and privileges.” Lastly, in connection with this topic, we re- fer the reader to the unaffected, sensible and republican speech, delivered by the President at Pittsburgh, which he will find in another column. The Enquirer, of yesterday, remonstrates, very earnestly and bitterly, against General Taylor’s making such a party demonstration as he is said to have done at New York, and says he is the first President who has behaved in that manner. Our neighbour must surely have forgotten the visit of Mr. Polk to New York city in June, 1847, when he was formal. ly admitted a member of the “ Tammany So. ciety,” and made a public speech to a crowd, in which the famous Captain Rynder was a promident figurante. THE NEW YORK SCHISM. The Republic makes the following com- secured. His election to the Chief Magis. tracy having been accomplished, he became to them the representative of their country and of republicanism on this continent, and received ly the full measure of their respect.” We need only refer tothe Union, or any oth. er. Democratic paper of the day, the reader how very different a course has been pursued towards Gen. Taylor. But one of the greatest wrongs which have been done of him, is the representation that his tour was under. taken fur a political purpose, and it is alleged, by way of proof, that, during its progress, he has even publicly pledged himself to “ carry oud the principles of the party that elected him.” It is stated in the Democratic paper of York, * Penneylvania, and also in the Democratic cor- respondence of the Baltimore Argus, that a de- claration to this effect was made by the Presi- dent, upon his arrival atthe hotel in that town. We have not before us any friendly report of the remarks made on that particular occasion, but we are entirely convinced from the tenour of the various little speeches which Gen, Tay- lor has delivered at other points, that bis mean. iog was either egregiously misunderstood or wilfully misrepresented. Everywhere else he has diselaimed having any party objects in view | in making this visit, has averred that his de. | sire is to obtain information about an impor. | tant part of the country with which he has had | little persona! acquaintance, and, bas on sever. al occasions, repeated those very sentiments whieh he expressed before the Presidential e- jection, and which are quoted in contrast witb the saying now attributed to bim. At tbe Pennsylvania line, where he was re- ceived by Gov. Johnston and the commiltee from York, be made these remarks: to convince | ments upon the factions in New York.— © Silas Wright’s Executor” is faithful to | the will of his testator. | “The troth is, that the quarrel in the. _ranks of the New ‘York Democracy is /not about the Wilmot proviso. It is, in ' some aspects, a personal controversy. It _is a struggle between the Cass men and the Van Burenmen—and thatis the whole ‘of it. The menace of Silas Wright to | Mr. Ritchie in ’44—that he should rue the overthrow of Mr. Van Buren to the last | day of his life—is the key to the whole history. For years the Albany regency— | which governed the northern Democracy | —had succumbed to the elite of the dis- | tinguished Democrats of Richmond. They | had been for years ridiculed and abused for their shameless subserviency to that | narrow minded, mercenary, and corrupt junto of politicians. They submitted for the sake of the spoils. They sacrificed the interest of New York as long as they ‘could make any thing by the sacrifice.— | They submitted in 1844 to the nomina- tion of Mr. Polk, because they could not at that moment rebel with safety. The union between the houses of Albany and Richmond was then dissolved forever.— the nominal cause of the quarrel was the Wilmot proviso. It would have occurred if the Wilmot proviso had never been in- vented. Virginia had given the lawto N. York. New York groaned under the yoke, and was resolved to give the law to Virginia, or dissolve the Democratic party. “ Goverxor :—I am deeply thankful for the kind reception which you have extended to me.

Whatever may be the result of this con- troversy, and whenever this breach may | be healed, one thing is certain: the cor- rupt Richmond clique—the arrogant junto _of politicians who have proclaimed them- selves the elite of the Democracy—have lost their political ascendancy forever. It is not in the present generation that the’ men can regain power who are identified with the Stephensons, the Denbys, the fall, and springing from their political In their down- | Remember, too, that you are paying this, not only | | Let us reason together, and I think that I shall be able to so place a few facts before you that you will change your opinions in this matter. An old Spanish proverb says, “A wise man often changes his mind, a food never will,’—and as I believe that there are more wise men than fools, I take the trouble of submitting the following to you. The cost of transportation now from Fayetteville to Salisbury, is six thousandths of a cent per pound per mile, or sixty cents for a 100 Ibs. On a Rail Road, it would be thirteen ten thousandths per pound per mile, or for the 107 miles and 100 Ibs., 14 cents. Taking Fayetteville and Raleigh, and Columbia, 8. C., as starting points, the merchants residing in the dif- ferent County seats, which would be within fifty miles of a Central Rail Road, from Raleigh, through Salis- bury, Morganton, and Asheville to the Tennessee line, at French Broad, have a general average distance of 120 miles, to haul their goods. If this railway were made, although the distance to haul would remain the same, the cost of doing so would be very different, as follows: take one pound as the weight, and we have, 120 miles @ 006 of a ct. is 72 of a ct. on common road. 95 « @ 006 6“ 15 s “ 6“ “ 95 « @0013° * 12s “ Rail Road. Add these two last together and subtract them from the first, and we have an average difference of 45 of a cent, or nearly half a cent per pound per mile upon all mer- chandize carried to these places. Now, the consumer of this merchandize is the one that pays this differance in freight—that is to say, for every pound of Tea, Coffee, Sugar, Molasses or other kind of goods that he may use in the course of a year, he is now paying nearly one half of a cent tax for bring- ing it to the place he purchases from, for every mile that it is carried. Now, you have no idea of the amount of tax that you are paying in this way, and I want to try and explain this to you. It is estimated that there are three hun- dred stores west of Raleigh and Fayetteville, that im- port on an average, one hundred thousand lbs. each of merchandize in the year, the average distance hauled is one hundred and twenty miles, and the cost of hauling is sixty cents per hundred Ibs. per hundred miles, or se- venty-two cents for the hundred and twenty miles; the whole amount of goods hauled in a year is thirty millions of Ibs., and costs, as above two hundred and sixteen thou- sand dollars. Ifthe railway were made, it would cost eighty-one thousand: the difference of which—one hun- dred and thirty-five thousand dollars—is the annual tax that the people of the West are paying now for the want of a railway, in what they suy from the stores above. But this is but a small part of the loss. Most of this merchandize is purchased by the consumer with the pro- duct of his labor, which is much reduced in value. I will take Corn as my example to show what I mean. It now takes one-third of a bushel of Corn to purchase a pound of Coffee or Sugar. If the merchant receives this as pay—as it costs him forty cents a bushel to send it to market, he can afford to pay but twenty or twen- ty-five cents for it. If the railway were made, he could send this Corn to market for ten cents a bushel, and the difference of thirty cents he could afford to pay to the farmer, and still make the same profit. The farmer, then, is losing, if not paying (pretty much the same ) { ie . | merchandize he uses; or, in other words, he loses every | year THREE MILLION OF DOLLARS in the depreciated val- | what he sELLs to the stores above. | thousand dollars is what we are now actually paying for | what we buy and sell to the stores. But I have not | done yet, I will show you that you lose still more. whole grain crop of the United States last year, was nine hundred millions of bushels—of which one hundred and twenty millions of bushels were sent out of the eoun- try—not one grain of which was furnished by our Wes- tern or Middle counties. Now, does any reasonable man doubt if we could get our Corn to market for ten cents a | bushel, that we would furnish our share to this? Let us | see how much it would be. | of inhabitants in the U. States, the above export would | give six bushels to each inhabitant, and as there are | counties, we might naturally be expected to furnish | one million ninety-two thousand bushels for export. | This at fifty cents a bushel, gives nine hundred and sixty | thousand dollars as our annual Joss in this way. So that we may be said to lose now annually for want of a railway through our Western counties, the im- mense sum of four hundred thousand dollars. As the population is three hundred and twenty thous- and, the tax which every man, woman and child is now paying, is over twelve and a half dollars every year. The cost of building this railway from Goldsboro’ to the Tennessee line, would not exceed eight millions of dollars, the interest of which at six per cent. is four railway paid nothing, and the interest had to be provi- to one-fourth of what you are now paying. Now here I have given you a plain statement from which you may all calculate for yourselves. You may rely upon the figures which I have given, being rather below than above the fact. What folly, then, to talk of State tares! We have been boasting that our State is out of debt, when we are actually paying ten times the amount of taxation that the most deeply involved State in the Union is doing. without benefitting your property, but that it is every pledge myself to endeavor to show, by my fu. | ashes, we shall see a better and more | year getting of less value from the improvements of other turé-eonduct, that the confidence of the Key. | genial state of public feeling.

A new organization will grow up—a Waig organization substantially— a popular organization, at all events— terest in them than myself, or will more heart- ily co-operate with the National Legis!ature in recommending or carrying out such meas. ure@ as will facilitate the ubjects referred to,” He epuke in a similar strain at Harrisbur and Chamiberabuie. At Bedford Springs bie remarks were as follows; : “Th is with no ordinary fealings of i aad pride, my {c]low-citizens, thet I st a sincerity evinced hy my reception, in the wel. come which your speaker bas so eloquently extended to me.

M., says: A dispatch was received here thig evening from Erie, Pa., announ- cing that President Taylor has had anoth- er severe attack of diarrhea, but is again convalescent. . | I learn, also, that Mrs. Taylor, the lady of the President, accompanied by her | daughter, Mrs. Wood, will leave in the . cars for Baltimore to-morrow morning. men of all parties will confess that it is a. | be less asperity of political intercourse ; dren to othe: countries). When, then, a person tries to persuade you that public improvements are an injury and evil, if he is a sensible man, you may believe that he has some personal interest to gratify ; if he is a fool, you of course, will not be led by him.

Tuer regulated the price of Powder, and in many cases, took that with the lead and flints, found in the possession of merchants into their own hands. At a meeting of the Committee, Sept. 23d, 1774, Messrs. John and William Kelly, were brought before that body, by its order, “ to answer.to a charge of hav- ing infringed the Provincial Resolves by selling powder at a higher rate than it had been sold at for three months past.” They acknowledged that they had sold it for ten shillings per pound, when the Committee “ resolved that fice shillings is a sufficient price for powder at this time,” and that any man who would buy, or sell it at a higher price, should be deemed an enemy to his country, and treated accordingly. On the Ist of June, 1775, Hugh Montgomery was brought before the Committee on a similar charge, of selling powder at a higher price than that set on it by the Committee, on the Ist of August, in the same year. The same person, with Maxwell Chambers, William Nisbet, Matthew Troy, and Mr. Mitchell, were requir- ed to declare on oath to the Committee what quantity of powder, lead, and flints, were in their possession, and to deliver the same to the order of the Committee. At the same time, Matthew Troy was required to deliver up the powder in his custody that belonged to John Kel- ly, and a copy of the resolution on the subject was given to Troy, as the obligation of the Committee to indemni- fy said Troy for the act. At the same time, John Work was directed to deliv- er to the order of the Committee a quarter cask of pow- der, and all the lead and flints in his possession, and the Committee pledged themselves to pay for them accord- ing to the price set on those articles. ~*~ They brought before them persons suspected of being disaffected to the cause of freedom. Sept. 20, 1775, John Olyphant was required to appear belare that body “in Salisbury to render an account of some late conduct in opposition to American measures.” Oct. 17, 1775, Acts and Pr tee of Safcty account of his political sentiments to American freedom, as is satisfactory,” Nov. 7, of the same year, Jacob Beck was brought to the bar of the Committee “to give an account of his political sentiments,” when he had till next morning al- lowed him to consider the matter,and David Smith was surety for his appearance, but he failed to appear, and Smith had to go in search of him. Three days after, it is recorded that he returned with the body of said Beck, who, “ from his notorious contempt of this Committee, and opposition to American measures, was immediately committed to jail.” But being again brought before the same body, he took the oath and signed the test.— “William McBride being sent for, appeared under guard at the bar of this Committee, for contempt offered the same,” when he was reproved in the name of the Com- mittee by Mr. Chairman. It appeared also, that he signed an advertisement charging Capt. Thomas Whit- son, with falsehcod: of this they say, that it “is a false and scurilous performance,” and that “ the author there- of ought to‘pe treated with every mark of disrespect.” They appointed a fast! Feb. 6, 1776, we find the following record: “ Inasmuch as the judgment of God is at present in an extraordinary manner impending over this Province, Therefore, resolved, that Monday the 14th inst., be and is hereby appointed a day of pub- lic fasting, humiliation and prayer in this County ; and it is recommended that the same be religiously observ- ed.” What this judgment of God was, is not stated. | No person could take legal measures to collect a debt but by their permission. Nov. 8, 1775, James Hemp- hill had leave to bring suit against Francis Bishop for a thing) thirty cents every year on every three pounds of * debt under five pounds. At the same time, James | | Hamilton had leave to bring a suit against Thomas Bai- | lie for assault and Battery. ‘Resolved, That all suits | now depending in the inferior Court in the County of Rowan, ought to be tried as soon as possible—but no | execution tssue without leave. Atthesametime, “Re- solved, That any three members of this Committee may give leave to creditors to bring suits, and issue orders to detain the bodies or goods of such as are about to re- move out of the County in the bBame manner as this Committee could do when constituted. And any three | members proceeding as aforesaid, shall make due return in writing to the next ensuing Committee.” Nov. 10, 1775. The sheriffs had executed goods before the No- vember Term, and the goods were unsold, when it was “ Resolved, That the Clerks have leave to issue orders of sale that the sheriffs may sell such goods as were un- der execution before said term.” They endeavored to keep the friends of liberty on good terms with each other. Aug. 1,1775. “ Resolv- ed, That John Olyphant, James Patterson, William | Neal, and Gilbraith Falls, declare in open Committee, | that the determination relative to their dispute falling in favor of either party shall be no let, or cause of derision with them in support of Right and Liberty.” It will be seen, at a glance, from these few specimens of their acts, (of which we may furnish more at another time,) that the Committee exercised various high aad extensive powers: and they can be justified only from the neces- sity of the case :—the extraordinary circumstances in which they were placed, and from the fact that they were elected and sustained by the people.

RAIL ROAD MEETING. There will be a public meeting in Salis- bury on Saturday the 22d instant, for the purpose of appointing delegates to the | proposed Rail Road Convention at Greens- | borough. A general attendance of all per- | sons is most desirable. A correspondent of the Communicator, ‘over the signature of * An Independent Son,” says: | «A. M. Gorman undertook, at Salisbu- ry, to get up a paper to supplant the | Communicator, secretly ; in which he was _aided by others—not having the authority of the Grand Division. and without the knowledge of the members of the Order. “A. M. Gorman is the G. S. and su- perintended the printing of the Minutes— closing them thus: “A true copy from the Minutes,” and signed hisname. I am informed by members of the G. D. that the Report of the G. W. P. contained a compliment to the ‘Communicator,’ which is suppressed in this ‘tue copy ;’ and the _inference is plain that this was done, ei- ther by the G. W. P. or G. S.” There appears to be an attempt on the part of some of the members of the Order of the Sons of Temperance in this State, to crush their present organ, “ The Com. municator.” This we look upon as un- ' generous and well calculated to give rise | to feelings of bitterness among brethren, | | which should not exist. The “ Communi- _cator” entered into the service of the Or- der at a time when it required hard work | ‘and great self denial on the part of its | Editor to keep his head above water— when there were but few to cheer, and a still smaller number to give effectual aid towards sustaining him in the good work. That he should now be cast off as unworthy of countenance and support, for one more faxored but not more de- | serving,isstranger than fiction—so strange 'that we trust, for the credit of the Order, that the few who are attempting it may | not succeed—and that all who wish the cause of Temperance success, will stick to the “Communicator,” as one brother should stick to another. It is a good pa- per, and is doing good service in the cause | it advocates. _ Counterfeit $50 Bills—A gentleman from Rockingham county furnishes us a description of counterfeit $50 bills in cir- ‘culation. They purport to be drawn by the Bank of the State of North Carolina ; _made payable tol. T. Avery at the Branch 'at Morganton; letter A; No. 274; dated | Raleigh, 4th May, 1846; signed C. Dew- ey, Cashier, and D. Cameron, Pres’t; the engraving well done, but Cameron’s name ‘badly executed. The bills are well cal- | culated to deceive the best of Judges. | It was only last week that we noticed -a counterfeit $3 bill which appears to | have emanated from the same direction as the above. It is high time the spuri- ous bank which has been doing so exten- _sive and successful a business were bro- _ken up. Is there no possibility of detect- ing the scoundrels ?—Greens. Patriot. A Washington letter of the N. Y. Tri- bune says the departure of Mr. Lawrence for England * has been hastened by ne- gotiations of our present Minister, which were not in accordance with the views entertained by the present Administration of our true policy to be maintained at that Court.’ It further says— ‘No instructions of a certain character to our Minister in London are on file at the State Department, authorizing him to act as he has in measures of great impor- tance to the manufacturing and commer- cial community of this country. The inference is that secret instructions over the autograph of the late President were his authority, which instractions, as I have said, have not been placed on file. |] may remark here that this was a favor- ite and practiced finesse on the part of the late President. It is the impression that the same system of secret communi- cation and instructions was practiced by the late President with Mr. McLane on advance on the prices of week before last, until after * ‘| in and out of the State.” ds Gontestion “at Sallsbury” Apia *? receive ‘subscriptions eatin ! ad ig hereby respectfully solicited 10 open han’ of subscription for the stock of this Ret Road in the shortest time from this a...” after the advertisement at the on places designated in the ebarter, fo 4~ space of thirty days; and at thee the, tion of that time they be in bike 2 requested to report the several suhen.' tions made as well to the ebairmas at execative committee aforesaid, AS to J the M.

Morehead, who is himself chairman of the executive com, mittee alluded to. Will Editors along the line remind the commissioners of thi resolution ? The following resolation also wag q. dopted by the Salisbury Convention: “ That in the event of the stock not be. ing taken under the first advertisement, the executive committee, if deemed expe dient, be requested to employ a suitable agent to travel, call meetings, address the people, solicit and receive subscriptions How the executive committee are ex. pected to accomplish the object of this resolution, we confess our inability to dis. cover. If they could employ a suitable agent, much of the necessity for another Convention would be obviated.—Greens. borough Patriot. From the Hillsborough Democrat, RAIL ROAD MEETING. On Tuesday last the people were ad- dressed by Ex Governors Swain and Gra- ham on the subject of the Central Rail Road. Gov. Graham led off and proved j to a demonstration by facts and figures deduced from history and experience of other roads, that not only would the stock be a profitable investment, but the value of the land lying contiguous to the road as well as the price of all agricultural products would be enhanced in value to a very great extent. One argament, MiB, which is frequently advanced in opposi- Ii Vy tion to the scheme, to the effect that we were too poor to build the road, was met by the Governor with complete success, and we wish that every man in the coun- ty could have heard him. He cited bis hearers to the State of Georgia, which now has three railroads running through ! it from southeast to northwest, all of which are now declaring six per cent. in- terest on the capital stock. The agricul tural products in this State are computed by the census of 1840 to amount in value to $31,000,000. Now if Georgia could | build and maintain and derive profit from |three parallel roads amounting to up wards of stx hundred miles, surely North § Carolina who fell so little behind ber in the value of her products, could build one road of two hundred and ten miles in length. We will not attempt to follow Mr. Graham through the chain of his ar- gument; that would be a useless under- taking. In some future number we will take pleasure in adverting to the facts and statements advanced by him, and sincerely hope though coming through 4 second hand, that they will have a good effect upon our readers. Gov. Swain followed in a most impat sioned appeal—full of stirring eloquence _and withering satire. He told the people that it was no longer a question of mere _dollarsand cents with them as to the build |ing of the road—it was a question of life |and death. That surrounded by other States who had gone far ahead in the matter of internal improvement, by meats of which their mineral, agricultural, @ manufacturing interests were being fally Ti ve developed, we would be driven out of great marts of the world, whilst they % the other hand would eventually come (0 our own doors and compete with us 5 cessfully even there—would drive o& * we had done the Indians before us, {rom our very houses by the superior advaol Til A, ges which they possessed.

Gov. Manly, entertaining the opinion that he will be fulfilling the public will by complying with this request, has had a Aorrespodence with the agent, and is now desirous of procuring a block of White Marble, about 4 feet long, 2 feet high and Qfeetin depth. It is his design to have it dressed and prepared throughout, ac- cording to the specification !n his posses- sion, by our own Lithographers, and have raven on it the name of the State, em- belished with the State’s Coat of Arms. A block of Granite from the State’s Quarry in this vicinicy would, in many respects, be a fit emblem and representa- tive of the “ Old North State” but, on inquiry, the engraving cannot be exe- cated with sufficient taste and skill on €. sThe Governor will be thankful to re- ceive from one of our Western Quarries a suitable block, and will pay whatever may be right on its delivery in Raleigh.

Newspapers friendly to this object will please copy this notice.— Ral. Reg. SUPPORT YOUR MECHANICS. We copy the following sensible re- marks from the Norfolk Southern Argus, and heartily second the appeal which it so forcibly makes in behalf of our indus- trious and intelligent mechanics. The habit of overlooking home skill and capa- city, and paying tribute, in the way of patronage, to distant artizans, ought to be ‘reformed,’ or, to speak more truly, utter- ly rejected. If the advice from the Ar- gus were followed, there would be less complaint about “ hard times,” and more support given to that worthy class of our community, so justly termed the “ bone and sinew” of our country :—Pet. Int. “It is a part of true economy to patron- ize your own mechanics. You should never send abroad for an article they can manufacture. The advantage of this is seen at once. It gives business to the place—is one of the spurs of general pros- | perity~keeps money at home, and bright- ens up the countenance of the mechanic. We regret to notice on the part of some persons an indisposition to support, in a purely domestic sense, home industry.— This is wrong, and calcalated to depress every effort at enterprise.—Even if the article costs more at home than abroad, it is still better to patronize home iudus- try than send our money away—hecause, ten chances to one, a portion of the money | you pay out for the desired article, will, in the transaction of trade, come back to you. Our own mechanics are industrious and faithful, and are yearly improving and extending their respective branches of business. It is only necessary that they | should not be proscribed, and pet under the ban, by their own fellow-townsmen, to enable them in a short time to compete successfully with more favored regions. This is a matter that forcibly commends itself to the favorable consideration of every member of our community. port one another ! word, and it will act like a talismanic charm upon the future prospects of the City. THE NEW YORK HERALD. This paper has recently become a great favorite with the Union, and its “Echoes,” | and is quoted as high authority to prove | the waning influence of Gen. Taylor, and the unpopularity of his Cabinet, &c.— Now, as Paul Fry would say, “ we hope We do not intrude” in culling from this cherished garden of the Union’s lately awakened confidence and affection, a flower or two, the fragrance of which seems to have escaped the notice of “the Venerable Editor.” We do not introduce the extract from ¢ paper referred to, as approving its toarse personality, but to show the char- acter of the witness that the Union’s blind fary has condescended to make use of, in its relentless opposition to the present Administration :—Pet.

TRUE LOCOFOCOISM. | The Union, unintentionally no doubt, _has perpetrated a truth in reference to ‘the future action of the party. It em- | phatically calls upon the faithfal of “ the banner,” and declares what will be the | future course of the party, | ing significant words : | “We mean to do our duty; and, what- ever face the future may wear, we mean to | oppose the Administration and its cabal to the bitter end.” 'the world that, “ whatever face the fu- ture” of General Taylor's Administration |“ may wear,” the Locofoco party will op- pose it. We said weeks since that the Opposition was organizing on the founda- tion of the combinations to oppose the | Administration of Mr. Adams though it should be “as pure as the angels at the /right hand of God.” This was denied, 'and we were abused, of course. The pro- gress of time brings an open avowal of this fiend-like purpose. Let the people see it, if they value correct action and good government.— Cincinnati Gaz. The Washington Correspondent of the Journ. ‘al of Commerce, says; “ The scheme for the invasion of Cuba is well and extensively ar- ranged. I find that the Departments, and es- | pecially the Secretary of War, is deeply im- pressed with the importance of these secret /movements.

I simply prepare a plain feast, where the viands will be all of my own choosing, and some of my own dressing, hoping that if what I ide be wholesome and relishing, I shall have a host of friends at my Lege — kind words and cheerful encour- agement w p me in a proud and honou = eet the head of the table. nd nent ve been too long known by those whom I a to feel strange in addressing them. My earliest aaa: written from intuitive impulse, before hackneyed expe- rience or polite jadgment could dictate their tendency, were accepted and responded to by those whose good word is a “ tower of strength.” The first active breath of nature that swept over my heart-strings, awoke but earnest melodies, which I dotted down in simple notes ; and when I found that others thought the tune worth learning—when I heard my strains hummed about the sacred altars of domestic firesides, and saw old men, bright women, and children scanning my ballad straine, then was I made to think that my burning desire to pour out my soul's measure of music was given fora purpose. My young bosom throbbed with rapture, for my feelings had met with responsive echoes from honest and genu- ine Humanity, and the glory of heaven seemed partial- ly revealed, when I discovered that I held power over the affections of earth. The same spirit which prompted my first attempt will mark my present one. What I have done has found generous support,—let me trust that what I mey do will still meet the kind hand of help. I have fll confidence in my friends, and believe if I offer them the combina- tion of utility and amusement, they will freely take the ware I bring, and not think worse of me for mixing with them in the market-place of Activity and Labour. I am anxious to give my feeble aid to the gigantic struggle for intellectual elevation now going on, and fling my energies and will into a cause where my heart will zealously animate my duty. It is too true that there are dense clouds of Ignorance yet to be dissipated—hage mountains of Error yet to be removed ; but, there is a stirring development of pro- gressive mind in “ the mass,” which only reqaires free communion with Truth to expand itself into that en- lightened and practical wisdom on which ever rests the perfection of social and political civilization ; and I be- lieve that all who work in the field of Literatute with sincere desire to serve the many by arousing generous sympathies and educational tastes, need make little pro- Session of their service, for “ the people” have sufficient perception to thoroughly estimate those who are truly “with” and “for” them. I only ask a trial. I will give the best my judgment can offer from the co-operation of healthy and vigorous talent, and my own continued efforts. - Exiza Coox.

The articles thus smuggled, were disposed of by numerous agents, and handsome profits were made upon them. After a while, the attention of the Governmeat being attract- ed to its operations, a naval force, under. the command of Captain Patterson, was sent down to break them up. Lafitte and his men made out to escape, but all their property was confis- cated, their houses burned to the ground, and nol a vestige now remains of the establishment.

The property of the tories and the king in this State, was therefore gen- erally confiscated ; and I find inthe Joar- | pal of the Board of war the following res- glution, passed on the 18th of September | 1780: “ As the General Assembly have sospended the operation of the confisca. | tion Act until the next session, the Board | are of opinion that the negroes lately em- yed at Wilcox’s [ron works, being con- fiscated property should be returned to that place and there employed again in the public service about the Iron Factory so essentially necessary at present.” * * * “The Commissioners of confiscated pro- rty are hereby required to refurn to the said works all of said negroes, to be em- | ployed by Mr. John Wilcox at the same. place for the purpose aforesaid.” | In the same Journal is the following | entry ofa later date. “Sunday 5th Nov. | 1780, Received a letter from John Wilcox on | the subject of Iron—filed No. 74.” This’ letter we were unable to find.

Thus, Gentlemen, I hope it will appear to you that I have contrived to answer | all the laudable intentions of the Con- | gress, in their Resolve relative to iron) works being procured for the use of the. public service, without entangling them or their Commisioners in such a multi-| plicity of business, as they would have, found bursting in upon them, had they | been made the temporary or perpetual property of the public. (Here follows a recommendation, to send to Philadelphia or some other northern colony for experi- enced Founders and for the materials, moulds, pattern, &c.) The report then proceeds thus ; “ Gen- tlemen, I have already informed you that the Furnace appears to me to be a good one, that 1 have reason to believe there will be a sufficiency of water, and there are wood and ore in profusion. I must now inform you that,on the north | side of Deep River, and | believe not half | a mile from the Forge, there is a Pit Coal, and from what appears on the surface, such as is very good: so that there is suf- ficient reason to believe, were it dug for, great quantities might be raised. Stone, for various uses, abounds there. Hearth stones, for iron works, are also to be got there, and such as appears to be very good. Grindstones of various degrees of fineness, are, and may be cut there. Upon the whole, nature has poured out with a boun- tiful hand on that part of our country, ev- ery thing necessary for the establishment of an extensive Iron Manufactory. An additional advantage there two, is its be- ing situated in the midst of a provision Its convenience to trade I have agement of the war in this State.

A.Graham, for a knowledge of the which, J flatter myself, 1 shall be doing existence of this document, and for direc- good to this Province, and perhaps to GRAND RAILROAD CONVENTION. It has been proposed to hold a Nation- al Convention in St. Louis, on the third Monday of October, of those friendly to an extension of a railway and telegraph from thé Mississippi to the Pacific. An address has been published by “the peo- ple of St. Louis to the people of the Uni- ted States,” from which we make follow- ing extract : “ Let us (says the committee) contrast briefly the consequences of erecting this road, with those which would follow a failure to make it. Were it completed, the first car that should ramble over the Stony mountains in its fiery course across the continent, from the Atlantic to the Pacific, would send a new sensation thro’ the world. ‘Britannia, Empress of the Sea,’ losing much of her pretension upon her great marine employed in the India , trade, would feel that the foundations of that supremacy were about to crumble, while from the Icy Cape, to the fair isl- ands of the South Pacific, and along the eastern shores and islands of Asia and Australasia, and throughout all the terra firma of the Pacific seas, would be awa- kened a new spirit, ideas of a new desti- ny, and feelings of a new attraction. The eyes of those nations would be drawn to the new lights which will illuminate the peaks of the Sierra Nevada, nor would their gaze be turned until their regenera- ted merchant vessels, moored in Ameri- can harbors, should have exchanged their costly burdens for the substantial products of the United States. “ Attracted to the great eastern station of the continental road, as steel to the magnet, a freight would roll down upon the States of the Union, such asthe India companies never saw, embracing the furs of the North, the drugs and Spices of the South, the teas, silks, and crapes of China, the cashmeres of Thibet, the diamonds of India and borneo, the various products of the Japan Islands, Manchooria, Australa- sia, and Polynesia, the results of the whale fishery, the gold, silver, quicksilver, jew- els, and precious stones of California, and the innumerable and unimaginable ele- ments of commerce which would be brought into life from the depths of the ons where to find it.

While Iam recommend- ing these things to your notice, I beg leave | to say that if a Slitting and Rolling Mill, | and a Steel Furnace were to be speedily | 'erected at or near the place |- have been describing, they could not fail of produc- cing the greatest advantages to this Pro- vince. The first would enable us to furnish | nails,in particular, as cheap as they can be bought in Britain. The second would | enable us to produce for market every | thing made from thin iron, such as locks | hinges, &c., &.; and the Steel Furnace would enable us to furnish weapons of de- fence, and every kind of edged tools for artificers and husbandmen. Gentlemen I am convinced that, that place or some other in its neigborhood from the great abundance of materials that nature has there so plentifully be- stowed, might in a few years be made_ the Sheffield of North Carolina, and per- haps of the Southern Provinces, and it will be a great means of rendering us more extensively independant; or while we purchase from foreign markets those articles so absolutely necessary tous, we may truly be said to be, in some degree | dependant upon the Kingdom, or State from which we receive them. If these things strike your minds with the same force they do mine, and if improvements for the benefit of our country, are objects that properly fall within the verge of your powers, you will I doubt not fall on such measures as will be most likcly to pro- duce the salutary effect. As a person must be sent to the Northward to procure a founder for carrying on the casting bu- siness, perhaps, you may think proper to. give him instructions to procure persons acquainted with the method of erecting. such works, with workmen to work in- them. If you should think such affairs do not come under your cognizance, perhaps you. may think proper to mention them to the.

Gentlemen :—At the request of Mr. Thomas Person, I lately rode out to Mr. John Wilcox’s Forge and Bloomery on Deep River, in Chatham County, and to his Furnace on Tick Creek, in sarne Coun. ty. His Bloomery and Forge are of pres. ent use to the inhabitants of that and the neighboring Counties, they supply them | with a considerable quantity of bar iron | of a middling good quality. The quantity and quality will be enlarged and im- ptoved as soon as he can make it from pis metal, which always affords better iron than can be produced from a Bloomery, as it is better refined in the former than it can be in the latter. The Furnace is built on a creek about ten miles from the Forge, and appears to be well constructed, and capacious e- hough to contain a sufficient quality of metal to cast a cannon of a ton weight at least, which, if I rightly remember, is a- bout the weight of anine pounder. I am of opinion, from the appearance of the streams that are to furnish it with water that it will be able to work nine months in the year, if no more. When I saw it it had been dry weather for a considera- time, which was visible from the ad- jacent fields. There is an almost inex- haustible stock of wood for coals and ilding, or what is called vacant land— five thousand acres of which ought to be weured as soon the land oftice is opened for the use of the work, that it may not bein the power of an individual to dis- tess a work of so much utility to the com- Manity. I carefully examined the pros- Peet of ore, and it appears to me to be ient for ages, and to appearance ex- femely rich in metal. (Here follows a fatement of the distance of this region hom Cheraw, Cross Creek, Hillsboro’, &c.) Mr. Milles then proceeds,thus: “It now remains for me to give an account to your Honor’s of the interest 1 have procured for the country, in this valuable work. Of the money granted at Halifax for the pur- pose of hiring or buying iron works, for the use of the Province, I ventured to re- commend Mr. Ambrose Ramsey, one of be Commissioners, who was with me. to to Mr. John Wilcox, two hundred and fifty pounds, on the following terms, Viz: That he, the said John Wilcox and | m. England, his partner in the Furnace, execute a deed of trust for the said @nace, to Martin Fifer, Ambrose Ram- *y and Thomas Person, Commissioners ron works, for the use of the Province, deed is to be looked upon not only “security for the two hundred and fifty Pounds then advanced, but also for such ferther sam or sums, as it may be found toe to furnish bim with in future, | the purpose of rendering the said Far- "ee more eomplete.

July 3d, 1776. Disturbance among the Jews.—The Jews or Isrealites of St. Louis have had quite a disturb. ance among themselves, and an appeal is made | to the arm of the law to settle their difficulties. | The Republican says: As usual there are two parties—one contend. | ing for a strict observance of the form and cer- | emonials of the Jewish worship, and absolute | conformity to all the requisitions of their creed ; | and the other, desiring as much license as pos. | sible, both in the matter of eating prohibited meat at coffee-houses, and in keeping their store and places of business open on Saturday. The one party are inclined to carry out the strict doctrines of their faith; the others are indifferent about thig matter, and hence the strife which has arisen in the synagogue. |sea, and from new and unexplored re- gions, by the enterprise and ingenuity of our countrymen. These elements would be distributed throughout the Union, giv- a new impulse to population, to trade, to industry, to art, and to all the employ- ments of our people. Our surplus meat and bread, cotton goods, hemp and cor- | dage, lard, leather, and hardware, and other products, would find a new, a large, and increasing market in return; while the bible, the printing press, the ballot- box, and the steam engine, would receive a welcome passage into vast and unre- generated fields, where their magic pow- ers and blessed influences are greatly needed. . * But, on the other hand, if we fail to | make this road, and California and Ore- gon remain without any practicable or convenient connexion with the old States of the Union, who can doubt that a new Republic will grow up on the shores of the Pacific, which would perhaps become independent of the Union, and obtain a supremacy of their own upon an ocean favorable to steam navigation, and the very home of the trade with Asia. The whale fishery, the present American trade with China, the Pacific islands, and the Northwest coast, would be shared, if not monopolized, by the new Republic. The central authority would find their power | over a people so remote to be feeble and insufficient. With great mineral wealth in their possession, with a trade before them which has been the cynosure of com- mercial nations during the whole chris. tian era, and the experience and energy of the race whence they derive their ori- gin, who can doubt their future power and progress in complete independence of all other nations ? “The true policy of our Government and country, therefore, in reference to this subject, is apparent. The great impor- tance and absolute necessity of this com- munication across the continent, by rail- way and telegraph, must be appreciated. We confidently trust that it will be car- ried out by national means and authority, as one of the most powerful auxiliaries to the integrity and perpetuity of the Union, and to the mission of our country in pro- moting and extending the influence of the noble cause of civil and religious liberty, civilization, and humanity.” The address concludes witha cordial invitation to the people of all sections to send delegates. The committee desire “to have them from the mountains and from the plains, from the cities and from the country, from the hills of New Eng- land and from the savannas of Georgia ; that they will come to us from the North and the South, from the East, and even from the West, pouring in upon us by all the numerous avenues of conveyance : which converge at this point, so that the hospitality of St. Louis shall rejoice in the fullest exercise and enjoyment of its } } | = that shall give to the great measure of American progress assurance of its tri- umph.” ee The President among the People.—There is no doubt that, despite all the Locofoco papers say to the contrary, the popularity of President Taylor will be much increased in the course of his present tour through the Northern and Eastern States. He is every where enthusi. astically received, and the plain, simple Re- publican manners of the Old Chief endear him to the hearts of the People. Did we have no evidence of this fact, we should be convinced of from the course pursued by the “* Union” since the President started on his tour. The defunct Organ bas been unceas- ing in its attacks upon him. It has heaped upon himabuse and ridicule without stint. It commenc. ed by declaring that the President’s reception ar Baltimore was a tame affair—that it lacked enthusiasm ; that although a considerable crowd was assembled to welcome him, yet there was little or no enthusiasm manifested, and the crowd was assembled mote from curivsity than from any desire to greet Gen. ‘faylor. Gen. Taylor’s speeches, which he is com- pelled to make wherever he sojourns, next come in for a share of the Union’s ridicule.— At almost every place where the President is called on to address the People, some corres. pondent of the Union is found to give what is called a correct report of the speech, which the Union gladly publishes as evidence that Gen. Taylor is no speech-maker, and consequently is totally unfit for the office of President of the United States. In these reported speeches, Gen. Taylor is made to utter the most absurd and ridiculours nonsense, and the writers en- deavor to made him out to be little better than a senseless ignoramus. This is the course which the Union and its followers pursue in regard to one whom the People have thought proper to elevate to the highest office in their gift. It is the course of the organs of the party which have always pro- feased such a high opinion of the wisdom and intelligence and “discriminating judgement” of the People,—which profess such a high re- gard for our free institutions, in that they debar no man from attaining to the highest office.— Now that the People have chosen a ruler con- trary tothe wishes of these “ elite” Democrats, they seek to heap upon him odium and ridicule, and by consequence thus ridicule and insult the k be tacl made upon the Citadel of the Prince of Darkness, and the day will be ours.— Spirit of the Age.

Hungary is now almost the only topic, and although we are still without definite intelligence as to the actual position and fate of the main bodies of the respective ar- mies, everything tends to encourage the belief that so far as the present campaign is concerned, the doom of | the Austrians and Russians is nearly sealed. From Rome there is and can be nothing but the flagrant de- tails of the unconditional restoration of the priestly ‘go- vernment, and the vigilance of the French artillerymen to keep it safe. From France the accounta speak onl of new taxes and of universal prosecutions against all who breathe a word in favor of republicanism. At home the dull season has set in with more than ordinary ia- tensity, and the food for the papers is the progress of the Queen through Ireland and Scotland.

Had the affair taken place in the interior of the country it could bave been hushed up or misrepresented by the Vienna authorities, for we get no news direct from Hungary, and those who utter an unfavorable syllable in Austria are forthwith shot ; but occurring so near the capital concealment was impossible.

A council of Ministers was held in Paris, oa Fridey morning, for the consideration of important questions of foreign policy. They have had information of the in- tention of the Bavarian government to march 50,000 men to Vienna, to cover the capital while the Austrian troops were operating in Hungary. 1834 a gentleman called upon the writer of this article and asked him to draw a deed of conveyance for two lots in Chica- go. It wasdone. Chicago was then an outpost of the West. A small military station had been placed there, and our Indian agent’s home was there. The proprietor of the lots said they were two of the finest lots for stories in the new town which wastogrow up there. They were sold for a very small sum to some merchant in Detroit. The induce- ment for the sale was that the merchant had promised to build warehouses upon them. We believe he did, and thus began the progress of Chicago. In the year 1835 and ’36 speculation, especially in Western lands, was carried on to an enormous ex- tent. Several New York gentlemen of capital became interested in Chicago, and | made great exertions for it. Jt was well | Situated, and since grown rapidly.

S. did not suffer himself to be | embarrassed fur ope moment by the establish- | ed rule in Cuba refusing to hearken to the re- | presenigtions of any Diplomatic agent. The | moment he was informed of the abduction of | Garcia, he determined not to await the tardy | action of the Court of Madrid, which might or | might pot respond to his demand after a lapse | of some 3 or 6 months, but to proceed directly | with the authorities at Havana, who were sus. | peetad by some persons of having counselled the Spanish Consul at N. O. to kidnap Garcia. Justice demanded that Garcia should appear on the trial of the Spanish Consul to testify | freely, and in the absence of all intimidation or improper influence, before the Court of the | United States. The question raised was one | upon which the seasibility of the free citizens of the United States was excited; that is to aay, the inviolability of the person of every man entitled to the protection of the American con- stitution and laws. That Spanish agents should be guilty of such an outrage upon us, al the ve- ry moment our Government was engaged in an ansious honest effort to detect and suppress the secret Cuban expedition, was a thought not to be endused. “Accordingly the Pregident, on the 28th of July last, directed the Secretary of State to instruct General Campbell, (Consul of the United Siates at Havana,) in the event of the arrival of Garcia at Havana, after being ab. dacted from New Orleans, to make an imme. diate demand for the return of the captive, and to send him back to New Orleans. Mr. Camp. bell, was instructed that the issues of peace and war would depend upon the result of his appli- cation, in case Garcia had been kidknapped by Spanish authority. Mr. Campbell received the Seeretary’s instructions on the 16th of August, and immediately proceeded to the discharge of hie duties. He determined, before making a formal! official demand, to represent the facts and the orders which had been given, in an un- official way, but with a firm determination, if mot able to effect ynofficially Garcia’s return to New Orleans, to demand him in the very words of she Secretary’s jettcr.’ The result is now known. Garcia, alter being imprisoned and incommunicated unti] the afiernoon of the 18th | of August, was then pardoned by the Captain | General, being surrendered to Mr. Campbell, and sailing with a passport in the brig Salva. | dor for New Orleans early on the morning of | the 19h, Mr. Campbell deemed it advisable | to place Garcia under such protection as would | sécure his life against the attempts of any per. | son or persons who might be interested in his | gssassingtion ; and employed Dr. F. Gage, an. American, § physician of skill, who superadds to his professional attainments the character of | @ geatieman, to accompany Garcia to New Or. igans, and place him there under the protection | of the-United States District Attorney. | ‘Fhe unofficial demand for tbe return of Gar. | eig-proved effective. Before Mr, Campbell re. | eeived his instructions from the Secretary, he. bad received two letters from Garcia stating the | facta of hig abduction. On the 28th of July, at | the very moment when tho Presideat gave his | order and the Secretary draughed his instruc. | tjon to Mr. Campbell, the latter, having learned | the charge from the New Orleans papers, went | ow board the ‘ Andrew Ring’ and inquired for | Garcia.

THE CAROLINA WATCHMAN. . Salisbury, N. C. See ~SaaeoeeeOereroereeeern THUBSDAY EVENING, SEPTEMBER 13, 1849. Central Rail Road.—It will be seen by a notice in this paper that a meeting is to be held here on Saturday, the 22d instant, for the purpose of appointing delegates from Rowan to the Rail Road Convention the opposition, as General Tartor has been. Not even the-courtesy which is ee J 4 observed, but without wailihgtese will be the measures recommended by the | President, and his Cabinet, the opposition abuse them for measures which they bave not had time to mature and bring in ope- ration. and his place filled by the appoistment of a Whig, a great clamor is immediately qualified—or that the Locofocos had a lawful right to all the Offices of the Coun- try. If either Gen. Taylor or any one of his Cabinet writes a letter in answer to to be held at Greensborough about the middle of next month. It is extremely desirous that there should be a very gen- | eral attendance of the friends of this great scheme at this meeting. Whoever may | be appointed delegates to the Convention | should go up well informed of the feelings | and intentions of the community they rep- | resent. Hence the importance of the | 1 ' punctual attendance of the friends of the | work. Let the farmer stop his plough in / the furrow, or his team in the field, and come to this meeting. He can do more for himself and his children after him, in| this way, than by cowardly hanging back, | to throw up heaps of produce at home to_ waste or rot without benefitting himself, or any body else. Let him come too, de- | termined to do his duty to himself and to his country. Let the mechanic whois | perishing for business, or whose opera- | tions are necessarily on so small a scale | as to afford a profit barely sufficient to. | { keep soul and body together, also leave’ his bench, anvil, or vat, and come to the rescue. Let the lawyer, the doctor and | the divine, all be present. This is a life and death case with our country, and not only requires the advice and direction of those of the liberal professions, but their positive aid to the extent of their ability. In fine, let every one who can raise a hundred dollars, or whose body encases a heart that entitles him to the dignity of a man, be present—to help ef- fectually if they can, or to encourage those who have the means to help. Tt is not alone for the credit of the coun- ty that we urge so earnestly an attend- ance at this place on the 220. We look higher and beyond that. It is for the sake of our State, and the prosperity and hap- piness of the present and rising genera- tions. Our people can take a day at any | time of the year,—even at planting or one received, it is at once pounced upon, and denounced as intended to manufac- ture popularity for a “eorrupt adminis- tration, such an one as the Country has not been cursed with since its founda- tion.” Not content with assailing and misrepresenting wilfully and maliciously, the objects and intentions of the Adminis- tration merely, at Washington, but the President during bis late tour through | Maryland, Pennsylvania and New York, must be followed up, as though it was done by a systematic plot, and his speech- es and private conversations so horribly mutilated, as to make him appear, if pos- sible, an object of ridicule before the American people. Now, we think such a course very unbecoming and ungener- ous, to say the least,—and which the opposition will find will not meet with the approval of the People. Gen. Tay- Lor has done nothing, according to Loco- foco showing, to merit all this wholesale billingsgate abuse. Before the election he “ made no pledges,” and of course has not violated any. Such being the fact, all this noise shows a factious spirit, prompted by the loss of office and its emol- uments; clearly proving beyond doubt, that it is the “loaves and fishes” which they are after, and not the prosperity and happiness of the Country about which they so loudly prate. Let them go on in their unholy work. Gen. Taytor, will not heed their abuse, but press forward in the good work which he has already begun, until the Country has been placed in such condition as its founders designed it should be by wise and proper legisla- tion. Every branch of business will be protected and encouraged here among us, instead of the suicidal policy of the late dynasty, which gave the preference to the foreigner instead of our own mechanics. We verily believe when the people see harvesting times—to go ten or twelve | miles to see a clown turn somersets, and | hear his vulgar wit. Thatcosts time and money. Who of them have fallen so far below their just destiny as to prefer such paltry things to that of the welfare of | the State—their own, and its elevation? | We trust there are none such; and shall, therefore, indulge the pleasing expecta- tion of seeing a very large meeting here | at the time designated ; and that every man will come with the determination of doing hisduty. Save our delegates tothe | Convention the exhibition of burning | cheeks and down cast eyes—save the State—save yourselves. We will conclude what was at first in- | tended as a mere notice of the proposed | meeting, by copying the following descrip- tion of a speech delivered at Hillsboro’, lately, by one of our best and most learn- ed citizens. We trust that it may serve | to stir up the dull and dreamy Rip Van Winkle, wherever it may find him. Read “Gov. Swain followed in a most im- passioned appeal—full of stirring elo- quence and withering satire. He told the people that it was no longer a question of , mere dollars and cents with them as to the building of the road—it was a ques- tion of life and death. That surrounded by other States who had gone far ahead in the matter of internal improvement, by means of which their mineral, agricultur- | al, and manufacturing interests were be- ing fully developed, we would be driven out of the great marts of the world, whilst | they on the other hand would eventually come to our own doors and compete with | us successfully even therc—would drive.

Taytor never ‘flinched from the destructive fire of the ' semi-barbarous squadrons of Mexico, and he will not now shrink from the perform. ‘ance of that which he knows to be his duty, because of the squibs fired at him by Locofocoism.

The Board of Health in New York have issued a card in which they state that the cholera has ceased to be an epi- demic. From all parts of the country, we have the good tidings that this dreadful scourge is fast disappearing, and we hope soon to have the pleasure of announcing that it has entirely disappeared from the whole country. In many parts of Europe the disease still rages with increased violence. OL Gen. Taylor was at Albany on the 6th inst., and at New York on the 7th.— Thousands upon thousands assembled to welcome him wherever he has been, clearly proving that no President has en- joyed to a greater extent, the affection and admiration of the People.

The sword is sheathed, and Monarchy is the victor ! Thus (continues the Express) ends the grand series of events that, following in the train of the Parisian revolution of 1848, gave birth to a hope that a mighty and combined effort was to be made for the disenthrallment ofEarope. Butin France, where it began, it has eventuated in a con- temptable farce only—in Italy a comedy —in Hungary a tragedy ! The Magyars, however. transmit a he- roic memory to after generations, who, at some future time, may unsheath again the sword, to accomplish what the present generation has failed to achieve—not from any want of determination on their ._part—for how fixed and consistent was that, from beginning to end, the world has witnessed with admiration—but because and shall impose no test upon the said candidates inconsistent with the resola- | tions adopted by the Democratic Conven- | tion held in the Presbyterian Church at Rome. DCP A Gentleman in one of the upper Counties, a subscriber to the Watchman, writes to us the following, which is an ex- tract from his letter. We had intended publishing it at the time it was received ; but having omitted to do so then, and the reasons for its publication being as good now as at that time, we give it place.— We trust our friend will excuse the liber- ty we take in thus using his letter. ‘“‘ There are only a few persons in my neighborhood who take a paper, and they have done s0 for years gone by. The others either have no taste for reading and information, or otherwise, they think they are unable to pay for a paper. Many have come to this conclusion who can spend money for things of but little value, and for things that do them much harm. It is a great mis- fortune with many, whose training has been such, that they did not contract a taste when young, for reading and information ; and the consequence is, they live and die without them. Hence all the useful knowledge, salutary advice, and guod ideas contained in well writ- ten books are unknown to them. Our great Creator has endued the human mind with powers exceedingly | grand, but without instruction they must be forever dor- mant. I have seen children of sprightly minds whose intellectual powers never did act, because instruction, the grand spring of action was wanting. Their parents being destitute of education, they knew not how to put | the young mind into action. If parents only had a lit- | tle useful knowledge themselves, it would be a great ben- efit to their children.

On Tuesday the 4th instant, quite a spirited meeting of the citizens of this County was held in the Couri- House, on the subject of the Central Rail Road, and upon the subject of improving the navigation of the | Yadkin River. John Jarvis, Esq., was called to the Chair, and H. C. Hampton, Esq., was appointed Sec- | retary. It was resolved that the sense of this meeting is highly favorable to the schemes now urged upon public attention for improving the condition of the State, par- ticularly the plan of making a Rail Road from Golds- boro’ to Charlotte, and of opening the Yadkin River through the extent of this County. It was resolved further, that we approve of the sug- gestion of holding a Convention at Greensboro’ on the 12th of October next, for the purpose of taking meas- ures to effcctuate the liberal policy manifested in the acts of the late General Assembly of the State; and that the following persons be-appointed delegates to at- tend the said Convention from this County, viz: Isaac Conrad, Joseph Conrad, D.

The Conservative Correspondent of th Courrier des Etats-Unis, after commen ing on the disturbed condition of Germs ny and of Italy, and the war in Hungary observes: “ How easy would it have been f@ France to achieve great things, to co vulse and overturn the whole of Eorope with the three powerful levers of Hur ry in the North, Germany in the cemtr and Italy in the South!

The constitution doeg. net recognize such char- goters as citizens, and Mr. Clayton Is per- feetly right in refusing to do it. The effect of a passport would be to give the bearer of the right to go to any State in this Union, and there claim all iehts of citizens. Why the Wash. | se Delon should desire to give all the | placks of the North a pass, under the | groad seal of the Union, to traverse the Seuth, we cannot conjecture.

But the constitu- | tion will prove a feeble bearier to these hypocrites and fanatics. | THE REY ABDUCTION CASE. | The New Orleans Delta, of the 28th ult., in copying the ** Republic’s” article in relation to | this case, (which we published some days since,) commends the course of that paper, in| the following language. The Delta is an in- deapendent paper, but, we believe, sides with | the “ Democrocy” in its opinions: | “We rejoice to see the Republic taking so manly, so American a course on this question, | We are gratified to see it, thus unhesitatingly, | throw (he weight of its influence on the side of | national right and national honor. It is a good | augury, we think, of what the course of the Ex. | ecutive will be on this question. It foreshadows | to us plainly that it is one on which Gen. Tay. lor wil) permit of no paltering—no diplomatic evasion. He will call for a full and immediate | reparatios and apology for the gross outrage | which has been perpetrated on the flag of the eountry, which he risked his life, in many a hard-fought battle, to preserve unsullied, and of the integrity of which he is still the chosen guardian. [tis useless to attempt to connect this act of infantry with our national parties or our national politics, and it is still more una- vailing to couple it with secret expeditions or the movements of Cuba patriots. As an act of audacious turpitude, it stands alone—and those who have been guilty of it, must take the consequences in their full length and breadth.” Royal Gratitude.—The Lord Mayor of Dublin announced, officially, that the Queen, to express her unmixed gratifica- tion at the loyalty manifested towards her during her stay there, had intimated to Sir George Grey, her intention to not to pardon the State prisoners—not to re- lieve the suffering poor—not to enlarge their privileges—not to reduce the public exspenditure—but to confer on the | Prince of Wales, the title of Earl of Dub- ha. t MARBRBRIBDa Oo Tharsday Evening the 6th inst., by the Rev.

It is necessary to add, in consequence of the immense amount of humbuggery of late resorted to by Itinerant | Travelling Exhibitions, that the material of STONE & M’COLLUM’S CIRCUS is entirely new. ‘The extent | and grandeur of the outfit this spring, is without a parallel in the annals of similar Establishments, and required | the services of several Mechanics and Artisans to complete the tout ensemble of the vast travelling cavalccde du- ing the past Winter.

Worrell and Green Johnson, of that pure dye so often enquired after by gentlemen visiting similar exhibitions, attended by ladies. In the representations, so far as the Clowns and other performers in the ring are concerned, no rude jest or improper action will-be tolerated by the proprietors. With this assurance, we trust the odium heaped upon will, in this instance, be recalled. “ Good actions crown them Travelling Companies generally by a portion of the mass, selves with lasting bays ; Who well deserves, needs not another’s praise.” The Grand Brass Band is another important feature in the annals of musical connoisseurs, placed as it is under the direction of its very eminent Leader, H.

My earliest rhymes, written from intuitive impalse, before hackneyed expe- rience or polite judgment could dictate their tendency, were accepted and responded to by those whose good word is a “ tower of strength.” The first active breath of mature that swept over my heart-strings, awoke but learning—when I heard my strains hummed about the sacred altars of domestic firesides, and saw old men, bright women, and children scanning my ballad strains, then was I made to think that my burning desire to pour out my soul's measure of music was given fora purpose. My young bosom throbbed with rapture, for my feelings had met with responsive echoes from honest and genu- ine Humanity, and the glory of heaven seemed partial- ly revealed, when I discovered that I held power over | the affections of earth. . The same spirit which prompted my first attempt will | mark my present one. What I have done has found generous support,—let me trust that what I may do will still meet the kind hand of help. I have full confidence in my friends, and believe if I offer them the combina- tion of uzility and amusement, they will freely take the ware I bring, and not think worse of me for mixing with them in the market-place of Activity and Labour. I am anxious to give my feeble aid to the gigantic struggle for intellectual elevation now going on, and fling my energies and will into a cause where my heart will zealously animate my duty. It is too true that there are dense clouds of Ignorance | yet to be dissipated—huge monntains of Error yet to be | removed ; but, there is a stirring development of pro- | gressive mind in “the mass,” which only requires free communion with Truth to expand itself into that en- lightened and practical wisdom on which ever rests the perfection of social and political civilization ; and I be- lieve that all who work in the field of Literatute with sincere desire to serve the many by arousing generous sympathies and educational tastes, need make little pro- | fession of their service, for “ the people” have sufficient | perception to thoroughly estimate those who are truly “with” and “for” them. | Tonly ask a trial. I will give the best my judgment can offer from the co-operation of healthy and vigorous talent, and my own continued efforts. Exiza Cook.

The miraculous blood spots on human food that appeared in Berlin in 1848, and that have so often been alluded to as omens of evil. have been found, when placed under the microscope, to be form- ed of myriads of small bodies, which ap- peared to be animacule of an inferior de- gree. These little beings appear almost round, and are from one three-thousandth to one eight thousandth of alinein length. When examined separately they are trans- parent, but in the mass they have the co- lor of blood. The nugmet tree resembles our pear tree, and attains the height of about thirty five or forty feet. The mace is not the flower, as some suppose, but it is the im- mediate internal coating of the brown shining shell of the nutmeg. The oldest work on Mechanics is that by Ramelli, and is mentioned by Mr. Ew- bank in bis Hydraulics. That work was written in 1588, and is in folio, having 338 pages letter press, duplicated, and contains Italian and French descriptions, of 195 different machines and engines. It is now at the Patent Office in Washing- ton. M. Emilies du Boys-Redmond, commu- nicated through Humboldt, to the Acade- my of Science, at Paris, a description of the following experiment, that establishes the fact of the electrical influence of the human system. Fix to the two extremi- ties of a sensitive galvanometre, two strips of platinum ; plunge these slips in two tumblers of salt water, and then in- troduce into the tamblers the correspond. ing fingers of each hand. Let them re- main until the fluctuations of the needle cease. Then contract the muscle of one arm by any effort of the will, and a de- viation of the needle will instantly indi- cate a contrary current of electricity in that arm. The amount of deviation de- nds on the muscular development. The Astley Collieries, near Manchester, having taken fire, and resisting all efforts to extinguish it, a chemist. Mr. Guernsey, proposed to put out the fire by filling the galleries of the mine with carbonic acid. The experiment was tried and was suc- cessful. APPEARANCES. Think not becanse the eyes are bright, And swiles are laughing there, The heart that beais within is light, And free from pain and care. A blush may tinge the darkest cloud, Ere Sol’s last rays depart ; And underneath the sunniest smile ‘Méy irk the saddest heart. Mirth'’s sndden gleam may hight the cheek, Though joy be far away, As blossoms oft adorn the tree ‘That’s hastening to decay : Alas! ’tis but the varying hue Of April’s wayward hours— A sanbeam bursting brightly through, When al} bencath are showers. Por there are pangs the sorrowing heart Will oft in darkness shroud, That lurk within the lonely depths Like lightning in the cloud ; As falls the shadow on the path, When bright the sunbeams glare, Whichever way our thoughts are turned, «That darksome shape is there. Though brightly o’er the hollow cheek The smile, the laugh may break, Like bubbles bursting on the breast Of Ascheron’s dark lake : They are but outward signs to hide The deadly pangs we feel, As o’er the lone and monldering tower Phe rose is aught to steal. A ROD FOR GOSSIPS. The following paragraph, which we find floating in the newspapers, lays it on the gossips with unsparing hand : “The slanderous woman poisons the atmosphere of an entire neighborhood, and blasts the sanctities of a thousand bomes with a single breath. From a wo- man of the class nothing is sacred ; she fattens on calumny, and upon slaughter- ed reputations. She isthe Ghoul of Eas. tern story, transferred fromthe Arabian Nights to the circle of the fireside. She never asserts anything—she merely hints. and supposes, and whispers what ‘they say.’ Every neighborhood in the city is infested with some creature of this sort, and in country towns they very often are afflicted with two or three of those Ghoul Women. One is enough to set a hun- dred families by the ears, two can break OPTICALILLUSION IN THE MOUN. TAINS. The following interesting extract from 8 private letter descriptive of a Singular optieat illusion on the Catskill Mountains, 1S written by an eye-witness : “The afternoon (Tuesday, August 14) was 8 memorable one fur the Mountain.

A. Campbell, | President of Bethany College in Virginia, | has recovered $10,000 damages from the Rev. J.

The Red River Republican of the 21st ult., gives the particulars of the great flood in that stream some time ago, and destractive overflow of the waters. It is estimated that the damage along the riv- er will not fall short of five millions of dollars. Not 30,000 bales of cotton will be made where over 130,000 were raised last year. ‘She whole region of the riter on both sides is literally swept off.

His Honor. to his” infinite credit, her great satisfaction, de- | clared the will invalid and contrary to the laws of natare and of nations, and in| a most eloqnent and philosophical opin- | ion, spoke as follows : “ Marriage is a wise regulation in har- | | mony with nature and religion, and is the only efficient preventive of licentiousness. | “Tt is the appropriate regulation of that | "great instinct of nature which was de- signed by the Creator to replenish the | earth. “The principle of reproduction stands next in importance to its elder-born co- | relative, self-preseravation, and is equal- { | | } a blessing which tempered with mercy | the justice of expulsion from paradise.— It was impressed upon the human crea- tion by a beneficent Providence to multi- | ply the images of himself, and thus to pro- mote his own glory and the happiness of his creatures. Not man alone. but the whole animal and vegetable kingdom, are under an imperious necessity to obey its mandates. From the Jord of the forest to the monster of the deep—from the sabtley of the serpent to the innocence of the dove —from the elastic embrace of the moun- tain kalmia to the descending fructifica- tion of the lily of the plain, all natare bows submissively to this primeval law. Even the flowers which perfume the air with their fragrance and decorate the forests and fields with their haes, are but cur- tains of the nuptial bed.” Had the matter rested here, everything would have gone on as merrily as the marriage bell; but, alas! it was carried to the Supreme Court, and there the “ widow’s joy was turned into mourning” by his honor, Judge Gibson, who, most un- poetically declaring Judge Lewis to have imbibed wrong, but beautiful notions up- on the subject, reversed his decision, and upset his seats in the following “ sledge- hammer” style ; “] know of no policy on which such a point could be rested except the policy which, for the sake of a division of labor would make one man maintain the chil- dren begotten by another. It would be extremely difficult to say why a husband should not leave a homestead to his wife without being compelled to let her share it with a successor to his bed, and to use it as a nest to hatch a brood of strangers to his blood.” Steamboats Playing at Hide and Seek. —A heavy fog hung over Milwackee and | the lake, Wednesday evening, rendering | it impossible for vessels to see their way into or out of port. Thesteamer Pacific, | from Chicago, and the Superior, from Buf.- | falo, arrived off our harbor between 8. and 9 P. M., when the fog was at the. densest, and impervious even to the rays of our friend Joe Sherwood’s bright and well kept light on the bluff. The Pacific, | not being able to make light on the bluff, | or the pier, rang her bell. The Superior, which was groping about in the fog a mile or two further north, taking the Pa- cific’s bell as a signal from the shore, rang her’s in answer. The Pacific, deceived in like manner, put off in the direction of the Superior’s bell, ringing her’s at inter- | vals. The Superior, at the same time, | was hunting about for the pier whence | the ringing they heard was supposed to) proceed. Nearly two hours were passed in this agreeble occupation, the pier un.- | accountably shifting its position every | few minates, and baffling the efforts of either boat to find it. At length the mys- tery was explained, and both boats, after a regular game at hide-and-go-seek inthe | fog, got safe alongside of the pier.—Mil- waukee Sentinel. A day or two ago, at the Government _works at Solliers’s Point Flats, where for /some time past a number of men have | been engag~d, under the direction of Cap- tain Foster, of the United States Corps of | ' Engineers, in digging a well, and the’ depth of sixty-seven feet was attained, | ‘after pretty hard labor with the pick and | shovel, one of the workmen struck the | bottom very hard with a shovel, and im. | mediately a stream of water burst with | great violence through the aperture. The | | poor man, frightened at this dreadful sit- | | uation, immediately pulled the rope with | | which he had been lowered, and ballooed ‘to those above to draw him out, which | was quickly done, though he received a, complete drenching. In less than five minutes’ time the water had risen to with- | in eight feet of the surface. © “John I fear you are forgetting me,” | said a bright eyed girl to her lover, the | other day. “Yes, Sue, I've been for getting you | these two years.” | | | Melancholy.—We regret to learn that on Tuesday last, a son of Mr. Géeu.

Dear Bro. Gildersleeve :—I observe in your r of the 12th inst., an extract from a wri- | ter by the name of Neal, on the iniercouse of the sexes; on which I would like to submit a few remarks. I admit in general terms the advantages of such an intercourse to both sex- es, and especiallyto men. But surely itis not to an intercourse resembling that of France, we are to look for anything desirable. Their infercourse may be free and graceful, but it is also extremely licentious. And although this tay not be universally true, yet it ts sufficient ly characteristic of the French as a nation, to | forbid any ambition closely to copy their man- pers. If there exists any connexion between the manners and the morals of the French, may it be long befure we are disposed to imitate them in either. I object to the extract mainly decause it gives the French women as the sole | exemplification of the intercourse recommend. | ed, and thus seems lo commend them as a mod. | el for our women. The French have been Jong regarded as proverbial for the gross im. purily ef their intercourse. And this is not confined, a3 in this country, to the ignorant and vulgar. It prevails among those who have wealth and education, and all else that may sve them rank in society. In many families even of standing in other respects, it has ren. dered the marriage relation more a fashiona. ple nulity, than asacredreality. Conjugal in- fidelity is tolerated by mutual consent, or re- ciprocall y overlooked from a like consciousness of guilt in both. It is vain to talk of the superior colloquial powers, and of the absence of osten- sible frivolity, if the licentiousness atiriubted to them does exist, That alone will be a suffi. cient reason, for repudiating every thing in their manners, which can be suspected of hav. jag any agency in producing it. It has long seemed to me a proper cause of regret, that in matierz of dress, of culinary refinement, and of fashion in general, we are disposed to look to France for a model. We cannot copy the man. pers of others, whether nations or individuals, without imbibeing more or less of their moral character. All men are naturally depraved, but the na- wre of depravity is doubtless, about the same in the people of all nations. ‘ God has made of one blood, al] nations, to dwell on the face of the earth.” “As in nature face. answéreth to face, so the heart of man to man.” | Whatever may be the peculiar forms, or excess | of criminality in one community over another, is fairly attributable to local circumstances.— And it is at Jeast a fair inquiry, whether French | impurity is not the result of French manners. My knowledge of their general habits, is too Kmited to admit a minute examination of this | question, but from what I do know I would not hesitate to assign some things in their social intercourse, as @ prominent cause of their loose morals. But leaving them, their manners, and their morals, let us look a little more closely at ourselves. And while we would reiterate the sentiment, thal a properly regulated intercourse | between the sexes, may be conducive to both | mental an moral refinement; yet I cannot dowbt that there is a great deal in the inter. course even of our educated young people, that isfar from being profitable to either sex.— There are things in the manners of a consider. able portion of our more cultivated females which it is important to maintain both for their persona! security, and for their influence on our sex The peculiarities to which I object, may be embraced in the following specifications. 1st. Ap indelicate boisterousness in their conversa- Goa, and ia their mirth in promiscuous assem. blies, 2. A light and frivolous manner of apeaking and acting on all subjects. 3. An wadiscriminaling familiarity with all persons who would obtrude their attention on them, ir- respective of their moral character. By a large portion of females of undoubted purity, this tol- eration is extended almost universally to men of acertain conventional rank in society, though hotoriously and almost confessedly addicted to babitual debauchery. 4. The immodest and evea lacivious appearance of some of the fash- ious in female dress. Men to be profited by heir intercourse with female society, must be compelled to feel a high degree of reverence for their mental as well as personal purity. A Woman must manifest an inherent modesty and refinement, the demand of which, she cannot a moment disregard herself, nor allow to be disregarded by any man aspiring lo the priv- mge of conversing with her, or of bestowing sattentions on her. It may be desirable that & Woman possess an ease of manners enabling to do or say, without embarrassment, what- ever itis proper she should door sayatall. Yet it thould be equally apparent, that she is embar- mesed at the slightest approach to any thing ladelicate in speech or manner. And this do- Binion of interior principle must extend to the Whole code of a sound and sufficiently compre- Sensive morality. With such females it would tadeed be healthful to associate. And desire standing fairly in the estimation of sucb, Would be a powerful incentive to the practice virtue. Noman who is not far gone in vice Would fail to profit by witnessing the exhibition @euch delicacy and refinement. And this com. id with other female charms, would operate ty a kind of contagion on his own soul. sl suppose the better class of American {a- male will compare favorably with the same Mases ja any country in the world, in regard Wemoral and personal purity. If there is any Ce@ntry with which they would not contrast Mrengly in this respect, [ suppose it is Scot- [In this condition of our female society, Womsits one of the strongest bulwarks of our Mtional morality and respectability. I do not ieve there is any serious retrogression in our Svntry, in this respect, and yet that there is Bene I would not dare affirm. Many who have *ejoyed favorable opportunities of observing course of things in the large cities, and a. mong what is there called the fashionable so. Slety, entertain the opinion that there is a giv- way of female virtue in that class, in those 2 ents oe knows the tremendous in- aGace which the cities exert on the smaller loWaia, and through them on the whole conntry.

The frivolity and licentiousness so prevailing in the fashionable assemblies of young people, should if possible be exchanged for something | -more rational and grave. Reading the scan- dalous literature of the age should be loudly and sternly reprobated by every friend of reli- gion and virtue. The whole light literature of the age may be characterized as generally un- healthy ; while a large portion of it is fraught with the most virulent poison. And this is pre-eminently true of that portion of it imported from France. ‘The literature of a country is | generally the true exponent of the prevailing moral character of its people. | The change of manrers contemplated should | not be regarded as impracticable. The spe- cial facility for its accomplishment arises from | the fact that so large a portion of our young fe. | males are professors of religion. If they can be made to understand and feel the force of the | Bible on these subjects, the work is done.— | That bowever, which is most to be lamen. | ted, is the extent to which our educated and | professing young people participate in all that. is objectionable in the habits of the age. The condition of the churches in this respect | calla for studied, vigorous and reiterated exbi- | bition of divine truth, so far as it contemplates position of their piety. ‘They furnish no evi- veloped, or affections in the least degree enlist. | ed for God and his cause. ‘Their moral influ. | ence is decidedly worse for being professors of | religion, Let this evil in the churches be | cured, and there will be a powerful restraint | thrown around the non-professing part of the young people of the land. One thing is cer. | tain, that either the members of the churches | must elevate the standard of social intercourse | to suit them, or else they will be dragged down toa cast of manners that will suit the world. | The social and domestic relations of the pro. | fessors are such that there can be no system | of non-intercourse devised. The two classes | must grow up and mingle together. And the | great question to be decided is, which class shall control the manners and morals of the | other. Let professed christians be true to themselves | Let the teach. ings of the Bible be faithfully urged, and will | they not be regarded by those cherishing the hope of salvation? The morals of a whole | country are mainly controlled by the combined | influence of a great many little causes. If the reading of this grticle shall make one christian | parent, guardian o1 teacher more careful in | guarding or fostering female modesty, it will not have been written in vain.

The town and region of country | were entirely exempt from cholera until | two or three days subsequent to the 2d of | July, when it broke out and raged with great virulence. carrying off many of the | inhabitants of the place, as we have been informed. It will be remembered that on | Saturday night, the 2d of July, we had the streets of this city illuminated with innumerable bonfires, for the purpose of | freeing the city of cholera. For several successive days prior to this, the wind bad blown from the southeast; but, on the the evening following it veered around and blew from the northeast. We learn, from reliable authority, that directly after | the wind shifted, the fumes from the tar | and stone coal, used in the fires here, were distinctly smelt by the inhabitants of Hills- | boro’, and in a day or two after, the chol- era made its appearance in the town ;— | and now, since the disease has left the | country, and the people have commenced once more to move about and inquire into | past events, it has been discovered that | the cholera swept like a tornado in a di- rect line from this city to Hillsboro’, and | onward a distance of thirty miles beyond, confining its ravages to a tract of coun. try not more than three or four miles in width, and extending in a straight line about sixty miles to the southwest. This line include the coal mines near our city, | where the disease was awfully fatal, and from that point onward to its termination, it decreased in its ravages, and after pas- sing Hillsboro’, rapidly so. The cholera did not make its appearance on any of the public roads ‘through that region of country,except where they intersected this tract through which it passed, and at these junctions it was frequently very bad. What agency had the fires in this city, if any, In causing the cholera to spread through the country? What agency had the wind in carrying the disease? “Why did not the wind take a wider range in its passage ?” Power of the Hyphen.—The London Record narrating the labors of a colporteur, says that a certain soldier bought a new Testament from one of his companions, a pious man. fearing God.

A pile of Serpents.—In the savannahs | of Izacubo in Guianna, South America, I saw the most wonderful, the most terrific spectacle that can be seen; although it be not uncommon to the inhabitants, no trav- eler has ever mentioned it. We were ten men on horseback, two of whom took the lead, in order to sound the passages ; whilst I preferred to skirt the great for- est. to me, “Here sir, come and see serpents ina pile.” He pointed out to me some- thing*elevated in the middle of the savan- nah or swamp, which appeared like a bundle of arms. One of my company then said—*this certainly is one of the assemblages ofserpents, which heap them- selves on each other, after a violent tem- pest ; 1 have heard of these, but have nev- er seen any; let us proceed cautiously and not go too near. When we were within twenty paces of it the terror of our horses prevented our approach, to which, however, none of us were inclined. On a sudden the pyramidial venomed darts and fiery eyesto us. I own I was one of the first to draw back ; but when I saw this formidable phalanx re- main at its post, and appeared to be more disposed to defend itself than to attact us, I rode round it in order to view its order | of battle, which faced the enemy on eve- ry side. I then sought to find out what would be the design of this numerous as- semblage ; and I concluded that this spe- cies of serpents dreaded some colessean eneiny, which might be the great serpent, or the caynean, and that they unite them- selves, after having seen this powerful enemy, in order to attack or resist him en masse. Awful Colliery Explosion—Seventy Lives Lost.—On the 10th ultimo, at Aber- dare, near Merthyr Tydvil, South Wales, a dreadful explosion of fire-damp, that dread and destructive agent, occurred at Mr. William Thomas’ colliery. The shock was felt for miles round. Soon after the fatal event a most melancholy scene took place—mothers hurrying in search of sons, wives in search of their husbands, their cries rending the air as corpse after corpse, blackened and mutilated, was brought to sight; svon sixty disfigured the pit, the brave men who had, in such a praiseworthy manner, rescued the few that had escaped, gave over, though it was believed that there was a great ma- ny others down, living or dead.

The grain trade continued dull, and prices had | a downward tendency. The harvest was very promising. The submission of the Hungarians and the important effects likely to be produced throughout Europe by the termination of that sanguinary war, had no perceptible effect on business in London. The mortality from the cholera in Eng- land continued to increase. There appears to be no political news of importance from Great Britain or France. We give the Hungarian news at length, This, however, is very unlikely.

After Bem’s defeat, on the | dred and five men and boys were in the. pit at the time of the explosion, very few. of whom have been brought out alive.— | It is con- fidently asserted that the cause of this most awful catastrophe was the negli- gence of one of the colliers in going to a_ dangerous heading without a safety lamp. It is scarce three years ago since twenty eight human lives were destroyed by an _explosion of the same nature, and near the same pit. Prussian Brutality.—An American ina Prussian Prison.—A letter from Basle, Switzerland, dated August 13, to the Phil- adelphia Pennsylvanian, says that a citi- zen of Harrisburg, Pa., named Beck is . now imprisoned in the Fortress of Rostatt, by the Prussians, for some political of- fence, and that they are ready to rélieve him on his giving guarantee that he will rope. , The same writer also adds : ther charged this upon the son, threaten- | lyn, are referred to by name and address. | When the son was about that age the shoes of Mrs. Sprague and her daughters began to disappear, especially new ones; sometimes one shoe, sometimes the pair; | when found, (and they were discovered in | the son’s pocket, in his trunk, his bed, his room, and in various other places.) they were generally wet, thoroughly soaked in water, or if dry had the shrivelled appear. | ance of having been thus soaked; and | they were made unfit to wear.

The intelligence from the seat of war in Hungary is of the most disastrous kind. The Hungarians have been defeated at all points, and the cause which they so courageously upheld against fearful odds has fallen past redemption. The precise details of the circumstan- ces which led to this unfortunate and un- expected result cannot be ascertained from any accounts within our reach.— Part of the main facts are that the Hun- garians haye been forced to lay down their arms and submit unconditionally to the Russian forces. There is no room whatever to doubt.— The operations of the Hungarians under Bem, just preceding the termination of the struggle, are alone given in an intelli- gible form, and would seem, from the ac- counts before us, to have had an impor- tant influence in bringing about the sub. | mission of the Hangarians.

It is reported by some of the ardent friends of Hungary that Gorgey has prov- ed himself a traitor, and has yielded to the golden arguments of the Rassians. - Kossuth’s wife and family, it is said, had fallen into the hands of the Imperial- ist troops. : : = don Times, under date of August 18, says: “ An official report of the 8th from Col. | ossoler, who is at Hermanstadt, gives | One of ‘the Printers.—There is a good practical printer, by the name of James Evans, who lives at Batavia, Ohio, whe the particulars of whatjhas taken place | educated himself at a distinguished liter in the southwest of Transylvania since | ary institution in New Hampshire, is a 31st ultimo, at Schasburg, he proceeded | towards Medgeys, which he reached on | ion, taught a “high school” in Ohio, a the 3d, with a force of 8.000 men and 17 | “seminary” in Kentucky, an “ academy” in Illinois, and one in Missouri; who has been superintendent of common schools; and school examiner, presideat of eghs _lege of teachers, and of a literary. instita- 'tion; who once offered a prize of $50 for _the best method of teaching the branehes usually taught in a high school, and @26 for those taught in a common school, w _has acted in the capacity of editor of three | different newspapers; and more or leas _in the capacity of constable,sheriff, cotn- ty treasurer, recorder, auctioneer, mere chant, wholesale pedlar, and post my 14 at three different places; who is a pra: tical surveyor, engincer, map maker; al- so a regular member of the bar, notary: | public, &c.; and he works at ae print- ' gi > mi ‘ith such remarks as, | ever, Luders could overtake him, he learn- | ing business more or less nearly every ta eon ee -ed that Hassford had actually been at- day.

However ibe House may he conatitu- ted, there is'no doubt, we suppose, that iapor- tant modifications of the tariff will Le success. at will be heard—drowning the wails ard howls | of displaced pensioners and ex stipendiaries. To give a few instances of tbe operation ot the ad valorem systems: Broadcloths pay duty on an inreice cost of sixty-eight to seventy-five cents per yard, and thet, too, not even the square yard, but on the running yard, five and six quar- tera wide. Brandies, that pay one hundred per | cent duly, are imported so as to cost, landed, du. ty paid, not abure seventy-five cents per gallon. The pretended invoice price of such brandy, on | which duty is paid, could not have been above thirty cents, as there are, besides the duties, freight, insurance. &c.,to pay. Entire cargoes are imported at this rate. Champaigne wine is imported at the cost of $1_75 to $2 per doz. en, by five tundred to one thousand baskets at atime. The average rate of duty on coal from Nova Scotia does not exceed three-fourths to one cent per busbel, and is brought in very large quantities. Now, every body knows that to invoice broad. cloths at sixty-eight to seventy-five cents, and champagne at two dollars a dozen, is a fraud, | and yet it is a frayd without a remedy, under | Mr. Walker’s system. So, under this system, the same article, imported from the same place, | is made to pay one rate of duty at Boston, an- other at New York, another at New Orleans, | &e. The importer shows his invoice, and the collector has his own way of determining on what evidence it is to be taken or not, for the genvine cost of the article. The frands al- ready practised on the revenue amount to mill. | ions of dollars. Brom the article to which we have referred it the Courier, to which we are indebted for the above facts, we make the following extracts : Washington Republic. In 1844, under the operation of specific du. ties, the proportion of importations into New| York, for foreign account, was only forty-four | per ceul, and now, by a recent return under the | operation of the present ad valorem tariff, the | proportion of the importation there, by foreign. ere, is seventy eight per cent. In Boston, jm. | mediately previoustothet ‘ff of 1842, foreign. | ers imported nineteen per ceut.; under the tariff | of 1842 nine per ct.; and now, under the pres. | ent tariff, thirty-one per cent. Our merchants refuse to cheat the revenue. They leave the | cheating to Le done by the foreign importer.— It is now the universal rule for the American importers to buy the goods from the foreign manovfacturers the same as formerly, but deliv. | erable inthe United States, by which they find they can save from ten to fifleen per cent., in- stead of taking possession of them in Europe | and paying the full duty on the actual cost.— | One of the delegates at the Newport conven- | tion stated acase where an invoice of cluths , bad been purchased in Belgium. which the sel. | ler agreed !o deliver in New York at fifteen. per cent less than the American purchaser | could do, if the full duties were paid. The operation of the present tariff upon the American manfacturers is indicated but too, plainly in the following facts : Railroad iron in 1846 was in England £12 ($60) per ton, and pig iron £5 ($25)—The daty on the former at $30 per cent was $18 per.ton, and on the Jatter 87,50. At present railroad iron is £5 ($25) perton in England, and pig iron £2 ($10) per ton. The foreign article | has therefore ihe advantage of not only a re. duction of £35. per ton in the price, but also 10,50 in the duty. The system of ad valorum Pan gives, therefore, to the foreigner the double advantage of a fall in the price and a fa}l in the duty ; and when the Lome producer wants the largest protection against low prices abroad, the tariff gives him the smallest when uadér bigh prices abroad he requires no pro- tection, eA the tariff gives him a heavy one. By the operation of this absurd and ruinous sys- } tém of the manfacture of railroad ironmin the | Bnited States is utterly prostrated, and one Million of dollars, invested in the mills in Penn- eylvania alone, is a total loss. The furnaces manufacturing pig iron in an equally prostrate condition, and thousands of tons of Scotch pig metal. ase imported for the purpose of be. ing meaulactured into pig iron, whilst our own furnaces are daily going out of blast. All these logers we encounter under the fatherly protec- ba of the Walker tariff, fur the benefit of En- glish man. .facturers and importers. The im. gauslions of railroad iron from England have to 150,000 tons within the last two its. Vhe money which we lose in i mainer is taken out of the pockets of the as wellas manufacturers, fur it is eas to.gee that the:importation of 150,000 tons of rajiroad ison is the same as the importation of 4A equal amount of wheat and rye, or beef and cOnsumed foreign bread and meat instead of American, ag-would have been the case had this ifon_ been made in the United States. “What is true of the iron trade is equally true ofthe woollen manufacturers, they have been al- Wioat totally ruined by the existing tariff.

It is rather a dry time at home to prove that General ‘Taylor was pro- scriptive. Mr. Bagby, like an honest, high- minded man, indignantly rejected the advice, and at once tendered his resignation, stating | that he considered the representatives of this country at foreign courts should be men who could represent and carry out the views of the administration in power, and that he would as soon think of a head of department remaining over after a change of party, as ministers.— Their positions were almost identical. We can imagine no sterner reproof to the policy suggested by Mr. Bancroft, in accord. ance with the advice of Mr. Buchanan, than the position taken by Mr. Bagby, himself a leading democrat... When the tactics of the their own friends it may well lead the people to distrust them.

We have been about as free from it in North Caro- lina, for some long time past, as could pos- sibly be expected,” &c. CONVENTION.—THE DAY. The Greensborough Patriot of the 15th inst., says: On consultation with some of our legal friends, who have just been at home a few hours from their courts, we ascertain that Thursday, the 18th of Oc- tober, will conflict less with other engage- ments of our public men generally, than any time that has been suggested for hold- ing the Rail Road Convention in this place. It is important that the day should be immediately fixed upon. If there are no insuperable objections, we respectfully suggest to Editors friendly to the object, at once to announce Thursday, October 18, as the time for the Convention to meet. Several of the neighboring counties we understand are moving for the purpose of appointing delegates. We have reason to believe that a more deeply anxious in- terest now pervades the public mind, in all this region, than ever heretofore. It is important that this “ tide” of feeling be “taken at the flood ;” and itis hoped that the friends of the project will come up with a determination not only to deserve success, but to succeed. ELECTIONS ON THE 10rus. Maine.—Partial returns from the State of Maine show a slight Whig gain inthe popular vote, and a gain of two or three Whig members of the State Legislature.

The Captain General of Cuba has forbidden the delivery of the New Orleans papers through this Post-office, add The Cuba papers say nothing of insurree. tion, and attribute the military movements @ the proclamation of our President. Hungarian Auxiliartes— Dreading the Whip.—A recent letter from the seat of war in Hungary describes in considera- ble detail the formidable auxiliaries the Maygar armies have found in the wild population scattered over the vast steppes and forests of the interior, particularly the horseherds, or tenders of the troops of wild horses of the plains, the swineherds, and fishermen.. The first named of these are especially dreaded by the Austriaa troops, on account of the extraordinary weapon they carry and use with dead skill. It is simply the whip with whie they select and catch any horse of the herd they wish to tame and dispose of— The application of it in war is quites novelty. It has a handle not more thas two feet in length, while the thong mea sures from 15 to 20; a leaden ball is fixed to the end of it, with smaller onesat dié ferent distances from it, like shot ons fishing line; wien thrown it acts likes | lasso, curling round man or horse, or it strikes either to the earth with a crushing Me . ot O7 9 .

Massachuse{ts.—Another unsuccessful | attempt was made on Monday to elect a Keep him down.—Ay, keep him dows. Representative to Congress from the 4th district of Massachusetts. Benj. Thomp- son was the Whig candidate. and was opposed by Frederick Robinson (Dem.) and John G. Palfrey, (Free-Soil.) Neith- er of them having received a majority of all the votes, there was no election. Vermont.—The Boston Atlas gives re- turns from 224 towns, being all with the exception of 18 towns, by which it ap- pears that the Whigs have made a net gain of 6093 votes, and that Gov. Cool- idge lacks but 60 votes of being elected, _which there isa chance the 19 towns will _give him, as last year they were about equal. There will be a Whig majority in the House of Representatives of 38, a | Whig gain of 47. The Senate is largely Whig. In the following brief paragraph in the London Cor- | respondence of the Commercial Advertiser, by way of comment on the prostration of Hungarian independence, | ' how pointed a sarcasm, or rather how just a moral, is conveyed. «« All the countries which were betrayed into an im- pulsive and unequal struggle with their rulers by the French example of February, 1848, have now again been brought to their old subjection. For this result probably not less than half a million of lives have been sacrificed.

DARING ROBBERY AND OUTRAGE. Mr. John Harris, of Person county, was robbed on last Sunday night weck, by a trio of robbers, in the fol- lowing manner: About twilight a young man approached Harris’ do- micile and sued to sojourn until morning. Harris agreed to-fet him remain the night. About midnight an alarm | was given at the door; whereupen Harris got up and opened it ; two men, on horses, presented themselves, r ired if there was not a young man within spend- a... Harris told them there was. They re- Plied that the ‘son of a bitch had passed counterfeit mo- | ney,” and that they believed Harris was an accomplice of the young rascal’s, and therefore, as Officers of the law, possessed with power to arrest suspicious persons and search their houses, they claimed Harris and the young égeng’ as their prisoners. So saying, they seized the youngster, and then, charging Harris with the posses- sion of a counterfeit 50 dollar bill, they brought him to sshowing of his money. While Harris was fixing to “how his hand,” one of the ruffians led the < young gent’ out of the house—whereupon a tremendous (sham) scuffle took place ; the ‘young gent’ reared and jamped, and jirked; but it was of no use, the Officer | held him fast!) However, Harris having produced $620 fos the Qfficer within to inspect, such was the capering Without that this Officer found it necessary to rush to the scene of the conflict and aid his assistant if mecessary ; but lest Harris should hide the counterfeit money, if he had any in that (as yet) uninspected pile, the soidisant exeeutor of the law, took it along with him in-bis “hag paw,’ while Harris awaited his return un- @ fond una: the whole party was making tracks! | i upon pursued them—but he had not pro- | far ere they discovered him, and ‘Jet in’ on him | ttieks, leaving him an almost murdered man, but | talking care to hold on to his money.

ELIZA COOK. JUST PUBLISHED NO. 1 OF THE AMERICAN EDITION OF ELIZA COOK'S JOURNAL. Editorial Address.

I have been too long known by those whom I address, to feel strange in addressing them. My earliest rhymes, written from intuitive impuise, before hackneyed expe- rience or polite judgment could dictate their tendency, were accepted and responded to by those whose good | word is a “ tower of strength.” | of nature that swept over my heart-strings, awoke bat | earnest melodies, which I dotted down in simple notes ; and when I found that others thought the tune worth learning—when I heard my strains hammed about the sacred altars of domestic firesides, and saw old men, bright women, and children scanning my ballad strains, then was I made to think that my burning desire to pour | out my soul's measure of music was given for a purpose. My young bosom throbbed with rapture, for my feelings | had met with responsive echoes from honest and genu- | ine Humanity, and the glory of heaven seemed partial- | | ly revealed, when I discovered that I held power over | the affections of earth. The same spirit which prompted my first attempt will What I have done has found generous support,—let me trust that what I may do will , sull meet the kind hand of help. I have full contidence in my friends, and believe if I offer them the combina- | tion of utility and amusement, they will freely take the ware I bring, and not think worse of me for mixing with them in the market-place of Activity and Labour. I am anxious to give my feeble aid to the gigantic _ Struggle for intellectual elevation now going on, and fling ; My energies and will into a Cause where my heart will _ zealously animate my duty. It is too true that there are dense clouds of Ignorance yet to be dissipated—huge mountains of Error yet to be removed ; but, there is a stirring development of pro- gressive mind in “the mass,” which only requires free comnmunion with Truth to expand itself into that en- | lightened and practical wisdom on which ever rests the perfection of social and political civilization; and I be- -| lieve that all who work in the field of Literatute with sincere desire to serve the many by arousing sympathies and educational tastes, need make little pro- | fession of thgir service, for ‘the people ” have sufficient perception to thoroughly estimate those who are truly | “with” and “for” them. | nerous I only ask avtrial.

In a week the company of engineers started, and Mr. Allen with them as chain carrier; when, had he, as a boy, _taken the advice of his parents and friends and stored up in his memory what they wished him to learn, he might have filled the surveyor’s office at more than double _the wages paid himas chain carrier. In- deed we cannot tell how high a position of usefulness he might have held, had he improved all the opportunities afforded himin youth. But he perceived the use of learning too late. Children and youth cannot possibly know so well as their parents, guardians, and teachers, what is best for them. Men who are in active contact with the world, know that the more extensive their _ knowledge on all subjects, the more useful they can be to others,; and the higher and more important use to society they are fitted to perform, the greater is the return to themselves in wealth and honor. Thus they began life. The one obedi- | ent. industrious, attentive to the precepts af those who were older and wiser, and willing to be guided by them; the other indolent, and inclined to follow the lead- ings of his own will rather than the more experineced teachings of others. ® * * * As menat the ave of 35 we will again presentthem tothe reader. Mr. Wheeler isan intelligent merchant in an active business, while Mr. Allen is a journey- man mechanic, poor, in embarrassed cir- eumstances, and possessing but a small suare of general information. ‘tlow do you do, Mr. Allen?’ said the merehant about this time, as the latter en- tered the counting room of the former. The contrast in their appearance was yesy great. The merchant was well and had a cheertul look, while the other was poorly clad, and seemed sad and dejected. ‘Tean’t say that I dovery well, Mr. Wheeler, the mechanic rephed in a tone ot deep despondency. ‘Work is very dull, and wages low, and with so large a fam- ily as | have, it is tough enough to get a- long under the best circumstances.’ dam really sorry to hear you say so, Mr. Allen, replied the merchant in a kind tone ;*how much can you earnina A Beautiful Anecdote.—The Washing- ton Republic, in the course of an editori- al article, introduces the following beau- tiful anecdote of the Father of his Coun- try from Sparks’ Life of Washington— “ By a vote of the House of Burgesses of Virginia, the Speaker, Mr. Robinson, was week now ?” directed to return thanks to Washington ‘If had steady work, I could earn nine for his distinguished military services in # ‘xe dollars a week.

Patriot. THE ROLLER. Among the many implements of hus- bandry, says a writer in the Olive Branch, which science has lately brought to the aid of the farmer, we may enumerate the roll or “ roller,” as by no means the least important. As its form is various, so also are the uses to which it is applied. It is, in fact, impossible to dispense with it in any complete system of tillage, let the na- ture of the soil be what it may. In re- marking upon the practical importance of the roller, a late foreign author very cor- rectly observes : “ The first object usually aimed at in the application or use of this instrument, is to break those clods or indurated mass- es of earth which have resisted the ac- tion of the harrow; or, at all events, to bury them in the ground, so that, at the next harrowing—which, when thus bua- ried, they cannot well escape—they must necessarily be somewhat diminished in size.” The second object, according to our own author, is to give greater compact- ness to the soil, and to effect a union of its component parts. The third use to which it is applied, is to press down and make firm the ground about the seeds, and to cause the latter to adhere better to the soil. The fourth is to cover with mould, or to press into the soil the roots of those plants sown in the preceding au- tumn which have been detached by the frost. Lastly, it is employed for the pur- pose of destroying insects which injure the young plants, and which, particularly during the night, come up to the surface to seek their food. The shape of the rol- ler is various. It is generaHy round, yet we have the hexagonal and octagon- al, and a roller armed with long-pointed iron spikes, intended not only for pulver- izing and breaking the indurated clods, but for scarifying the surface of soils that have become bound out, and which re- quire renovating by breaking and manur- ing. This is a valuable instrument. By passing it overold grass lands, and spread- ing a coat of manure on the scarified sur- face just before rain, and then smoothly rolling it with the cylindrical roller, a de- cided improvement is at once effected. LONG, LONG AGO, vs. WAGONS. Fifty-six years ago witnessed the first rattle of a wagon wheel in the county of Buncombe ; it was brought from New Jersey by Beaden and Zebulon Baird. It Was as great a curiosity as an elephant or giraffe to an untutored savage! Peo. ple dropped their plow and hoe handles, left their houses and gardens, or patches, and all run to see “the wagon.” Col. J. Barnett afterwards used to charge $5 for helping persons to get wagons to Bun. combe. His plan was on the hill sides, to put both hind wheels-on the lower side and to tie saplins to the axels to keep them from turning asomerset! The first road to or across the mountains from South Carolina to Tennessee, was opened out By Col. E. Earle, who was employed and paid to do it by the State of South Carolina for $2,000. If any one wants t~ know the whereabouts of that road, and will go to the highest hills and ridg- es in our country, he may find it. Get- ting up a hill was never thought about in ways, first and last, to get on a long ridge ! B. and Z. Baird brought the first goods that ever came to Buncombe. A jews- harp m those days created as great a sen- sation as the telegraph, or a railroad a- cross the Atlantic now / An old friend and citizen in town, had | a jewsharp given to him, which forever immortalized the giver in his estimation, and produced as much gratitude as ‘ Yan- kee Doodle” would produce meriment now upon that instrument, from the lips of that gentleman, in the midst of his friends. We expect in fu.ure to gather up inci- dents of the olden time in Buncombe, and give them to our readers.— Asheville Mes- senger. A Wonderful Deformity.—A crowd of persons were gathered around a country wagon, which standing in front of the Farmers’ Bank, on Monday afternoon, to look upon one of the most repulsive and remarkable instances of human malfor- mation probably in existence. The un- fortunate person is a young man from Rowan County, N. C., apparently about 21 or 22 years of age. Weare unable to describe the deformities anatomically, and words can hardly convey an adequate idea of them. Instead of hands, the bones of bis arms have forked out at the wrist, making a malformation at the termination of each arm resembling the letter V, on the ends of which are the usual appenda- ges to fingers. We. will not attempt to describe his nether limbs, as it would be both a difficult and revolting undertaking. The young man stated that his health was very good. What his motive was, io coming so far from home, we are unable to say.— Richmond Rep. Two Baltimorians, Capt. Wilson Fow- ler, who has just died of cholera in Mis- souri, and Capt.

TO THE PUBLIC. The following letter from Dr Alexander M. Henderson in relation to the late difficulty be- tween the Hon. Green W. Caldwell and my- self, explains the object of this publication. It speaks for itse]f and is submitted without one word of comment. In order that the whole subject may be judged of fairly and fully, cop- ies of the printed articles * C.” and “A Vo. TER,” referred to in the correspondence, are also appended. RUFUS BARRINGER. Concord, Sept. 11th, 1849. Letier and Statement of Dr. H. Sailisbury, Sept. 10th, 1849. My Dear Barrincer ° I learn that in Mecklenburg, reports are in circulation prejudicial to your conduct in the late difficulty between Capt. Caldwell and your. self. At this [ am exceedingly surprised, for I never knew an affair of the kind more honor. ably and satisfactorily adjusted ; and your con. duct throughout was most unexceptionable.— And I am happy to learn that these reports are in no way attributable to Capt. C. or his “Friend” Mr. Davidson, who, I think from their gentlemanly bearing during and subse- quent to the negotiation, will fully concur with me in this opinion. But be this as it may, as your “ Friend” I deem it due both to you and myself that the Public should be put at once in possession of the facts; and, therefore, advise the publication, without delay, of the entire cor- respondence with the subjoined statements of my own : When you called upon me to act as your * Friend” and handed me the “ note” of Capt. C. of the 17th ult. addressed to yourself, I at once unhesitatingly pronounced it a direct in- “ation tothe field. Such you told me was your own opinion as also the opinion of three different friends, to whom you had had occasion to divulge the subject ; and that acting under this belief you had already made the necessary preparations for any contingency. And such I found to be the fact. When the parties met at the Catawba Springs on the 27th ult. in the further prosecution of the affair, I learned from a source entirely re- liable, though not at all authorized by Capt. C. that his note to you of the 17th ult. was not in. tended as a challenge. This information, of course, altered my posi- tion as your “ second” and rendered it my im. perative duty to learn directly from Capt. C. whether such was the fact: otherwise there was but one course left me—to deliver your note of acceptance, and arrange the prelimina.- ries for an immediate meeting in the field.— This explains the cause of my addressing the note of the 27th ult. to Capt. C. But knowing also that he (on a point of etiquette) could not receive a communication from me, without first hearing from you, I asked you to write a form. al note to him to accompany mine. On the reception of Capt. C.’s reply to my communication, disclosing on his part that his note of the 17th ult. was not a challenge, [ re- marked to you that it was now your duty to fur- nish such explanations of the alleged offensive publications as would be consistent with justice both to yourself and Capt.C. You thereupon wrote the letter, approved of by me, which was accepted as satisfactory by Capt. C. and a re. conciliation immediately took place. Respectfully Your Friend, A. M. HENDERSON. Rourvus Barrineer, Esq. CORRESPONDENCE. Charlotte, N. C. August 17, 1849. Sir :—I have been informed that you have acknowledged, that you wrote the communica- ancient road making—the idea was al- tion “C.” published in the Hornet’s Nest ;— | and [ also learn that you are the author of the article which appeared inthe Charlotte Journ. al, bearing date 23rd July 1849—over the sig- nature of “ A Voter.” Now, sir. both of those communications (es- pecially the latter) I consider a gross and un- provoked attack upon my character, fur which I demand of you satisfaction. This note will be handed to you by Mr. E. C. Davidson, who will act as my friend in this matter. Yours respectfully, G. W. CALDWELL. R. Barrincer, Esq. Catawba Springs, August 27th, 1849. Sir :—This note will be handed to you by Dr. A. M. Henderson of Salisbury, who will act as my Friend inthe difficulty now pending be- tween Capt. G. W. Caldwell and myself. Your ob’t serv’t, RUFUS BARRINGER. E. C. Davipson, Esq. Catawba Springs, August 27, 1849. Capt. G. W. CaLpweLt : Str :—Your communication dated August 17th, directed to my friend Mr. Rufus Barringer, by the hand of E. C. Davidson Esq. is now before me. I confess it places me as the friend of Mr. Barringer in an awkward position, for it may be understood either as a peremptory invita. tion to the field, or a demand for explanation. It is a matter of absolute necessity that I, as the Friend of Mr. Barringer should understand my own position as well as that of Mr. Bar. ringer before I can take any step in the affair now pending. The course of a Friend in matters of this sort is a plain one, and he, having the honor of his principal as well as his own at stake, is the above communication directed to you, which emanates solely from me. Respectfully your ob’t serv’t, A. M. HENDERSON. Catawba Springs, August 27, 1849. Sir :—Your note of the 17th Instant was handed to me at Morgantgn on ‘Tuesday eve- my Friead Dr, A. M.

Very respectfully yoor ob’t serv’t RUFUS BARRINGER: Capt. G. W. Catowett. Lincoln Co., N. C.. Angust 27, 1849, Str :—Your letter of the above date has ‘just been handed me by my friend E. Ci Davidson. You say that my note of the 17th inst; te R. Barringer Esq., places you as his Friend in an “awkward position”—because you do nat know whether it is an invitation to the field or a demand for an explanation. ~ It was not intended as an invitation to the field, but a demand for satisfaction for the com. munications signed “ C,” and “ A Voter,” and especially the latterthe whole of which I thought personally offensive. G. W. CALDWELL. Dr. A. M. Henpepgson. Catawba Springs, Aug. 27, 1849. Sir :—Your note of this date directed to my Friend Dr. A. M. Henderson, in reply to a communication of his, has just been laid before me by Dr. H.—in which you say that “an in. Vitation to the field” “was not intended” in your note to me of the 17th inst. Thus understanding your note of the 17th, I am free to say, under the advice of my Friend Dr. H. and which also meets with my own views of justice betweea gentlemen, that I de. either of the communications alluded to in yoor note. [ merely intended charging you with political inconsistencies—particularly in voting while in Congress, for one of the peculiar measures of Mr. Tyler’s administration; and [ considered that in aflerwards accepting of. fice from Mr. Tyler, you laid yourself open to the imputation of having been more or less in- fluenced by interested motives in giving that vote ; but if in this I have done you individu. ally a wrong, I have no hesitation in making you ample reparation by withdrawing all ex. pressions conveying any such imputation. In the allusion made in those communica- tions to the time and circumstances of your vol. unteering in the winter of 1847, I do not ques. tion your patriotism. I intended saying, that, in addition to motives of patriotism, there may have also been other considerations (probably ofa Pacty cast,) which were believed by ma. ny to have somewhat influenced your conduct, but these considerations were by no menns of an improper or unworthy character. My in- tention was to guard the Whigs against voting for you on the ground of having volunteered, when it may have been a part of your purpose (not at al] wrong in itself,) to advance the in- terest of your Party by so Volunteering. And finally I suggested that ample remuneration had been received by you for whatever ser. vices you may have rendered, without design- ing to cast any stain or reflection on your char- acter as a gentleman, in part of either of the communications. Your ob’t serv’t, RUFUS BARRINGER. Capt. G. W. Catpwe tt. Lincoln Co. N. C., Aug. 27th 1849. Sir :—Your note in answer to mine of this morning addressed to your friend Dr. A. M. Henderson, was handed me this evening by Mr. Davidson. And in reply T will say that your explanation of the communications refer. red to in our former correspondence, are re- ceived by me as satisfactory, and are such as one gentleman hada right to expect from another. Very respecifully your ob’t serv’t, G. W. CALDWELL. R. Barrincer, Esq. APPENDIX. Mr. Eviror:—The candidates for Con. gress—the Hon. Edmund Deberry and Capt. G. W. Caldwell—addressed the citizens of Cabar- Court. fronted each other. The public may desire some account of this conflict of arms. Mr. Deberry rose first ; and just as our eye fell upon his erect and robust form, we could not help wishing the Editor of the * Lincoln Republican” had been there, in order to have ocular demonstration of how near the truth he was when he said Mr. Deberry was a week, feehle, senseless and deaf old man ! Mr. Deberry proceeded to state his devotion to Whig principles and to Gen. Taylor. vindicated the policy of the administration as far as developed—denying that in any instance it had violated its promises or disappointed the just expectations of the country. He dwelt at some length on the matter of proscription about which democratic papers are making so moch ado. and shewed incontestably that Gen. Tavlor had displaced no man whohad not prostituted his office to party purposes or was wanting in one or the other of the essential qualifications of the Jeffersonian standard—* capacity—honesty— fidelity.” He condemned in unmeasured terms that spirit of w terizes Dem policy ; and concluded with a firm but e expression of his determi- nation to adhere to the rights of the South on the slavery question. We do not aim af any sketch of his remarks. It is sufficient to say that it was a model speech. as the man him. self is a model Whig politician, candid, honest, conservative, putriotic and devoted to the Un. ion.

The whigs of thie district are too well aequaia-. ted with Capt. G. W.

Cotise- quently he cannot succeed in seducing from the path of duty any true whig. The univer- sal belief is that it is only another attempt to betray with a kiss; and the whige are deter. mined not to leave Gen. Taylor at the merey of such friends as Capt. Caldwell. His. adz ministration is to establish the Peace pve of the general Government.

It will be seen from the subjoined arti- cle from the North Carolinian, of the 22d instant, that at the instance of several of the Stockholders in the Fayetteville and Western Plank Road a writ of mandamus has heen issued by Judge Dick, forbidding the President and Difteetors to prosecute the construction of the Road, unless it is built by the route known as the * Mile Branch.” \t willbe recollected that it had been determined on running the road op ‘Hay Mount.

Mr. Poussin’s note of the 12th of May was not understood, nor could it be interpreted, as demanding mere- ly a disavowal of the law under which Com. mander Carpenterclaimed salvage for his crew. To a demand upon the President to disavow a law of the land, and the usages of nations, it would have been a sufficient answer to have replied, that it is not the province of the Exec. utive to make or repeal laws; it is his duty to execuie them as they actually exist.

Catolina, Bepteasber 1, 1849. The Pautographic Method of Teaching, which origi- nated in this Institution, is eminently calculated to make learning a pleasant emp!oyment to young ladies. The great variety of interesting and amysing illustrations made use of, lends interest te many studies -which are usually regarded by young pereons ag dry and insipid. “ Soands which address the ear are lost, and die Ta one short hour ; bat that which etrikes the eye, Lives long upon the mind ; the faithful sight Engraves the knowledge with a beam of light.” Young ladies are taught in small classes, and the whole attention of a teacher is given to one class,—the gradual development of the youthful mind is watched with much care, and throughout the course, the studies | of the pupil are carefully adapted to her mental capaci- ty and progress ; bat the peculiarity of this method of teaching is in the happy manner in which the different branches of study are illustrated. Pupils will be received ai a very early age; and the Coarse of Instruction will be far more thorough and complete than that of any school conducted ia the ar- dinary way can be. Teras and Sessions.

I’m very poor, yet I possess A freeman’s pride ; God’s image in the meanest dress, Though thrust aside, Ts on a level with the great ; Why then should I deplore my fate? Riches I scorn not, for they can Be well applied In succoring the helpless man To want allied: But the mere sel{gh use of wealth . Gives neither happiness nor health. My fare is scant—toil makes it sweet ; My drink ’s divine— Pure water, free from the fierce heat Of hartful wine ; And my brief rest is calm and deep, For health and labor bring me sleep. My garb is threadbare, but is warm ; My lodging mean, Yet ’tis a refuge from the storm ; And oft a beam From the bright sun a visit pays, Inspiring songs and cheerful lays. Nature’s fair charms to all are free— Green fields, blue skies, The crested billows of the sea— I feast my eyes Un thege great glories, and rejoice— Iw gladness lifting up my voice. I’ve books, coarse paper, pens and Ink, (Thank God they’re cheap!) And when I’ve time I read and think, And oft from sleep Rob hours which I in rhyming spend, For midnight is the poet’s friend. I can be generous, bestow My little mite On him who wanteth, and when woe Doth meet my sight, Refreshing words of kindness use, And hope in care-worn hearts infuse. ” Why then repine when thus so blest With peace of mind: With health, a home, bright dreams, sweet rest, And thoughts resigned ? Hear this, O man of slender pure, Thy poyerty is not a curse! ———— { a COMFORT FOR THE GIRLS.

Immediately after one of the loud- Pst penls of thunder ever heard there, a and irregular shaped mass of ice, reckoned to be nearly twenty feet in cir- cemierence, and of proportionate thick- ness, fell near the farm house. It had a vegotiful crystalline appearance, being wearly ali quite transparent, if we except & small portion of which consisted of hail. Stones of uncommon size, fixed together. was principally composed of small Sqoares. diamond shaped, of from one to. tugee inches in size, all firmly congealed together. The weight of this large piece of ice could not be ascertained; but it is A must fortunate circumstance that it did not fall on Mr. Moffat's house, or it weald have crushed it. and undoubted erased the death of some of the No appearance of either hail or snow w discernible inthe surrounding district, _ What fault is laid ‘at the door of denies its 1— Wath.

It "was at that time that | was sent to a country boarding school. some thirty miles from my birthplace, Louisville—and an agree- ble school it was. for it had but two de- partments, and they simply consisted of male and female. Our tutor and tutoress were the kindest souls in Christendom, and never indicated a heavier punishment than that of sending the guilty one to bed supperless, or depriving bim or her of the privilege of the recess. Then there could be no wonder in imposing upon such good nature—but for my adventure. There was only a door, (that, of course, locked) that separated the domitory of the boys and girls; but the kind builder had not omitted to place a ventilator over this door; and, as luck would have it, the | good mistress had covered it with a small | green haize curtain upon our side. Af- ter enjoying a fine dance upon the green, and that, too, under the prettiest moon- | light that ever shone, we were assembled _in the chapel to prayer, and then sent to "our separate dormitories—the girls, some fifteen in number, taking one flight of stairs, while we eighteen or twenty of the greatest scamps alive, took the opposite flizht—our master and mistress returning to their own room. A few moments found all in bed, and strange to say, perfectly quiet. We had Igin so but a short time, when we heard’a sudden creak, like a bedstead put in violent agitation, and this was followed by a suppressed titter. “ By golly, boys, there’s fun among the going to have a peep at ’em.” In a moment every hed showed a sit- ting figure. I bounded out, and ran soft- ly to the keyhole—but the fallen angels had stuffed it with a rag, and that was no o. ae Never mind, boys—easy now, and Ill | give you all a sight.” I softly drew a table and placed against the door, and with the greatest difficulty stood a chair upon it—for the table being small, the chair made most too great a stride for it. However, I mounted, and raising one corner of the curtain, the whole scene was visible to me. The girls had placed two beds, some six or eight feet apart. and laid a feather bed on the floor between them, and they were then exercising themselves by jump- ing from one bed to the other. There was one very fat girl, about as broad as she was long, and in no way calculated for physical exertions; but she had got upon the bed, and stood swinging her arms to and fro, making every indication for a desperate jump. By thistimeI was on the floor and my place at the curtain supplied by another sprig of mischief.— He leaned down and whispered—the fat girl was going to jump. * Oh, folly !” said he, “if Fan only falls, | won’t she roll over nice 2?” I was determined to see this; and climbing up again, we both occupied the “tottering pile.” With one hand over our mouths, and pinching our noses, to 'prevent a burst of laughter we stood breathless, awaiting the “awful calami- ty.” “ There she goes, by jingo!” I exclaim- ed. She didn’t do it though—for her feet | Just resing on the round of the bed, she balanced but a moment and felt back- wards, head down and feet in the air, rolling and puffing like a porpoise, but embarrassing situation. | We could hold in no longer, but shook | with laughter. The chair tilted, and down | all came together, with a crash Jike a | young peal of thunder. | “ To bed—to bed, boys,” said I, “ and | leave the rest to me.” __ In an instant all was quiet; every boy _in bed and sound asleep, with the excep: tion of myself. Oh! such attempts to snore as might have been then heard— but we were all used to playing the ’pos- Sum, and now concluded to give the ap. |proaching tutor and wife a sample of | somnambulism. |“ Now don’t laugh for the world, boys, and see me do the thing.” _ ting on it, was concluding my speech that [had written and committed to memory for the day—and here the trainers of | young ideas entered, but still Icontinued— | “Friends and fellow students: Over. | whelmed as I am with gratitude for your kind attention, I cannot refrain from ex- | "pressing thanks, yes, warm and heartfelt _thanks; and to you,dear sir, (this of course meant the tutor, and at this point my va-_ cant staring eyes were u pon him.) will my heart ever yearn. I look upon this mo- ment of ‘life with a happy pride that swells my young bosom almost to burst- ing; and when manhood shall close my youthful career, and my country shall cal! me to her halls of legislation, there will I exercise every truth and virtue installed into my heart by your kind and fatherly tutoring. These boyish tears of joy will yet swell to a gushing stream of ambi- tious glory—and then will I look back to these days, and with you uppermost in my thoughts, exclaim, *’Twas you, yes, you | _sit—that made me what I am?” “ Bravo! bravo! my boy,” both of them exclaimed. I got off the table now, seeing that I had the game in my own hands, and walk- _ing slowly up to the window, gave myself up to deep sobbings, and really appeared much affected. | Fhe tutor approached me and called _me sofily by name. but I answered him “not; and turning slowly from bim, I walk- as ed to the other side of the room. avoiding | the rays of the lamp which the mistress was chasting upon me. 7 eep my dear,” exclaimed the tutor, “and it must have been the drag- i €'ng of the table over the floor that made gals,” I exclaimed, “ and here's what's | displaying no mean agility for such an| | [raised the table on its legs, and get. to another—the tutor following with the filterer, his wife playing “ torch-bearer,” while the heavy breathing of the ‘possum. ing sleepers added to the solemnity of the scene. I still walked on, turning a- way every time he proposed to douse me. They had completely cut off the retreat to my own bed, and I saw at once | should have to take it. I walked boldly out, and placing myself before him, he upset the contents of the jug upon me. I gasped, caught my breath, tottered, and played the frightened boy so well, the deception was complete. 1 heard a mer- ry laugh in the next room—my school /mates on their beds rubbing their eyes 'and enquiring the matter. “ Where am 1?” I asked ; ‘ what awful 'thing has happened? Did I come near drowning ?” Then looking up, my eyes encountered those of the mistress. I hung down my head, crouched my little form together, for I was minus my must n’t-mention-’ems. She sympathised with me, and left me in the care of the tutor, who afforded me every facility for drying my drenched skin and changing my robe de nuit. I betook me once again to sleep. We were alone again; but never did I pass such a merry night—and not till long the old upright clock had told the midnight hour did we close our eyes. Upon awaking the next morning, I thought for the first time of the laugh I beard in the girls’ room ; and on going to the door through curiosity, J found the rag was gone from the key hole. Mortality in Cincinnati.—A committee of the Cincinnati Board of Health, appoin- ted for the purpose, have prepared the most accurate statement that circumstan- ces will permit of the mortality of the city during the four months, from May to Au- gust 30. The whole number of deaths for the 122 days of this period, embracing the whole of the time during which the cholera prevailed, was 6,459 ; of these 4,- 114 were caused by cholera. This gives an average of 53 deaths per day. The committee says: “If the population of Cincinnati did not | exceed, during the months of May, June, July, and August ninety thousand, (and it is believed it did not,) the mortality was equal to one in fifteen of the whole number of the actual residents of our city, in one-third of a year.” Twelve bales New Crop Cotton was sold in New Orleans on the 20th ult. at 12 cents, and on the 30th one thousand bales Cotton were disposed of, mostly for the English market. The receipts of the new crop amounted to 427 bales. ELIZA COOK. JUST PUBLISHED NO. t OF THE AMERICAN EDITION OF ELIZA COOK’S JOURNAL. Editorial Address.

Translation of a note from the Minister Plenipo- tentiary of France. LEGATION OF FRANCE, Wasnincron, March 30, 1849. To the Hon. J. M. Crayton, Sec. of State. Sir: I received on the 28th instant the let. _ter with which you honored me, in answer to mine, requesting your attention to the demand of Mr. A. Port, a French citizen, residing in Mexico, in appeal from a decision, given at Pu- ebla on the 20th of November, 1847, by a mil- itary court. The claimant does not now at- tack the whole effect of this decision; five hun. dred bales of tobacco, which had been sold to _him by the American authorities, have been Mr. Port does not ask that these orders, long since executed, should be declared void; but as, in consequence of the annulment of the sale thus made to him, his interests have been real. ly damaged, he claimsa fair indemnitication for his losses. In support of this claim, I shall present the following summary of the circumstances on which it is founded. On the 16th of Octorber, 1847, Captain Webster caused a notice, to the following ef. fect, to be posted up in the principal streets and _ squares of the city of Puebla : “* NOTICE. le Vale, with unerring aim, thinned their s.

Ahadie at thirty-three ‘dollars; and on the 13th of November M. Ab- adie sold it to Musquiso, the agent of Messrs. Gamio & Co. Meanwhile Mr. Port received from Captain Webster a letter, dated October 36th, in the folldwing terms : id “Sir: Be so kind as to suspend for a mo- meat the sale of the tobacco which you pur- chased from me ; you perhaps know that it is all claimed by Mr. Domercq.” M. Port was in fact not ignorant that M. Do- mercq had said he was the owner of the tobac- co on the day before; but as he had already sold the merchandise, and considered himself entitled to regard the sale made to him by the American authorities good and solid, he an- swered as follows on the 31st of October : _‘*To Captain Wexsrer. Sir: I have the honor to answer your letter of the 30th instant ; and I inform you that I sold the five hundred bales of tobacco to M. Abadie on the 27th of this month.” It was not until the 29th of October that M, Domercgq addressed his claim to Brigadier Gen- eral Lane; he established his title to the own. ership of the tobacco; he proved that the to. bacco had been sold to him on the 6th of June, he has repented in dust and ash- ders to Colonel Childs, the Commandant of the | by the orders of Major General Worth; and on the 30th of November a military court decreed _ that the merchandise should be restored to him _ _his claim immediately before the Secretary of M. Port. On the 30th November an officer and eight soldiers ofthe American army, charg- ed with eflecting the restoration, broke open of it. M. Port had in the interval resold the mer- chandise of which he was thus stripped, and had cleared $4,500 nett upon the operation ; for he bought at $12,000 and sold at $16,500. This sum was paid to him at Puebla on the Sth of November, 1847; and he was thus forced to give it back, as the annulment of the sale which had been made to him involved the annulment of the sale which he himself had in despite of the construct afterwards made with | the doors of the store house, where M. Port | had deposited the tobacco, and he was deprived | dollars per bale from the last purchaser, M. Port, and he has been informed that one’ thousand dollars were due to the estate of Wengierski by M. Port, which he had not thought proper to collect before the termination of the case at Puebla.” Now, what do we find in this evidence !— l. that M. Port has been guilty of collusion with the secretary of Col. Childs; 2. that, in consequence of speculations made in concert with M. Wengierski, Mr. Port owes the lat- ter person $1,000. In order to establish the fact of collusion Col. Childs reasons thus: The sale made to M. Domercq was public, and it is, therefore, im. possible that all the tobacco dealers at Puebla should not have been informed of it. To this reasoning I have five objections to offer: 1. M. Port is not a tobacco dealer ; 2. M. Port was absent from Puebla on the 20th of May, 1847, the day on which the sale of the tobaceo was ordered to Major Gen. Worth; he was also absent on the 25ih of May, when the | sale was made by Capt. Allen to Mr. Iargons ; and he was moreover absent on the 12th ot | June, when the tobacco was sold and deliver- ed to M. Domercq. M. Port thus might well | have been ignorant of the two sales made by | order of Gen. Worth. 3. M. Port affirms that | -he never had any private relations with M. | | Wengierski, and no proof is brought against | this affirmation; 4. M. Port who returned to | Puebla in the beginning of August, and who, | | Since that time, rendered more than one serv. | ice to the American army, quitted Puebla again | on the 10th of September, 1847, and did not re- | turn until the 15th of October, 1847. The sale of the tobacco was advertised on the 16th of October, the day after M. Port’s return, and he could, therefore, have had only a few hours to enter into any arrangements as to this sale with Col. Child’s secretary. 5. One of the documents which you, sir, sent to me on the | made ; and he thereby lost $4,500, which, af- ter entering legitimately and positively into his | possession, was to be taken from him by the act of the American authorities. This is not | all. M. Abadie, on his part, had realized a profit of $1,000 on the tobacco, as he had sold — for $17,500 what he had bought at $16,500. This profit he lost in consequence of the annul. ment of the sale; and, availing himself of his | remedy: against the seller, he summoned M. | Port to restore to him the sum of $1,000, which | added to the $4,500 already lost by M. Port | raised the entire loss of the latter to $5,500.— | Col. Child’s secretary, because they were both 28th of March, the letter from Capt. Webster to the Secretary of War, dated February 25, 1849, proves that Col. Child’s secretary, M. Wengierski, addressed Capt. Webster, and de. clared to him that he would himself purchase the tobacco at $22 the bale. M. Port bought it at $24; and there could, in consequence, have been no collusion between M. Port and bidders, and the ®ne overbid the other. It is not easy to discover what could have been the | object of such a manceuvre in the case in ques- | tion.

I will say the same of a voluminous paper | containing the details of proceedings before a | military court assembled at Puebla on the 9th _of May, 1848. The decision of this court, | ‘which establishes the ownership of M. Do. 'mercq, is utterly foreign to our claim, as our claim is not against the right of M. Domereq , tothe ownership of the tobacco, but it is simply 'a demand for imdemnification for the losses sustained by M. Port in consequence of the vi- -olent seizure of that property from him. ' TI come atlast, Mr. Secretary of State, to two documents, the only ones which could have led -you to refuse to admit the claim presented to /you by me. ‘These are two letters from Col. Childs to the Secretary of War, the one dated February 23, 1848, the other February 23, 1849. ‘These two latters agree well enough | with each other; they both impute fraudulent | 'manceuvres to M.

GUILLAUME TELL POUSSIN. The Secretary of State to M. Poussin. DrraRTMENT OF STATE, Wasiineton, April 10, 1849. Sir: [ have had the honor to receive your | note of the 30th ultimo, in reply to that of the 28th, addressed to you by this Department, on the subject of the claim of Mr. A. Port, a French citizen, against the Government of the | United States. You are correct in saying that | I did not set forth at length the reasons which ‘led me té the conclusion communicated in that | note. This, however, must be imputed to no, doubt on my part as to the adequacy of those | reasons, but to a presumption that you would necessarily arrive at the same conclusion if. you bestowed upon the documents a full exame | ination. In the correctness of most of the facts | stated in your breviate of the case I entirely | concur, but you mention one which I can no. | where find substantiated by the evidence, and | to which it is important I should at the outset | invite your attention. You observe, ‘ Mr. Port | was in fact not ignorant that Mr. Domercq had | said that he was the owner of the tobacco on | the day before,” [29th October.] Not being | able to find any proof of this statement, I must | | be allowed to ascribe it either to an oversight | on your part, or to a design to convey an im. pression that Mr. Port was not aware that Mr. Domercg was the owner of the tobacco until that time. No such impression is warranted by the testimony. On the trial of the case be. | fore the military cqurt at Puebla, Mr. Domercg, | vat Mr. Port’s own request, was examined as a| | Witness in bis behalf. ‘terial part of his examination : The following is a ma. | “Question.

Port answered, that made no differ. ence, that he could always” interpose his claims.” Now, it seems to me, sir, that this establish. es in the most positive and irrefragable man. ner the fact that, prior to the sale of the tobac- co to him, under the authority of the United States, Mr. Port was aware that the tobacco was private property, and that the sale was about to be made in ignorance of that fact.— This testimony is confirmed by circumstances mentioned in the testimony of Colonel Childs in bis examination befure the same court.— Sensible, apparently, of the importance of show- ing that Mr. Port, when the tobacco was sold to him, did not know that the United States were without title to it, you endeavor to invali- date the testimony of Colonel Childs, by as- serting that Mr. Port could have had no know- ledge of the previous sale of the tobacco, be. | cause he was not in Puebla at the time of the he left that city on the 10th September, 1847, | day before the advertisement of the sale at) which he purchased. Supposing these allega. tions to be true, (and Ido not question that you believe them,) it is strange that no proof of | them was adduced before the military court at Puebla. Had this been done, it cannot be | doubted that due weight would have been al- lowed to them. Inasmuch, however, as they rest on the statement of no witness, in consid. ering the testimony I am under the necessity of rejecting them entirely.* You also deny the assertion of Col. Childs that Mr. Port was a tobacco dealer. By this you doubtless intend to repel the presumption that he could not bave taken such an interest in the transactions in that article at Puebla as must necessarily have led to a knowledge of the previous sales of the tobacco. It may be that siness, but the very fact of his purchase and sale in this instance is a sufficient answer to, bacco dealer. If, therefore, the legal testimony only in the case as it stands be regarded, I must deem it made the purchase. was privy to the fact that the tobacco was private property. Now, it is presumed that you would not claim on his be. half from the United States more than the Mex- ican courts would have awarded to him, sup- posing thathe had knowingly bought the pro- perty of an individual which the seller, alsoan individual, had sold without being aware of the true owner, and which property was subse- quently restored to the true owner by process of law. If I am correctly informed, the Mexi- can law declares that in such a case the pur- chaser shall not only not recover damages of the seller, but shall not even be entitled to a return of the purchase money. These, sir, are the grounds for my opinion that the military court at Puebla, in decreeing to Mr. Port a restitution of the money which he had paid for the tobacco with interest there- on, had rendered him substantial justice, and that it was no part of their duty, nor is it now the duty of this Government, to guaranty the speculations made by him in an article pur. chased under such circumstances. This opin- I avail myself of this opportunity to renew ation. J. M. CLAYTON. To. Wa. Tex Poussin, &c. Translation of a Note from the Minister Pleni. potentiary of France.

Permit me, Mr. Secretary of State, to ob- serve to you that, in reasoning thus, you go, rather singularly, beyond the decision of the court martial held at Pucbla on the 17th of No. vember, 1847. This military court, which permitted Colonel Childs to carry out, without interruption, bis string of calumnies incredible, was certainly by no means over favorable to M. Port, yet it refused to recognize in M. Port that bad faith which, in your opinion, might relieve the Uni- ted States Government from the charge of re. turning to this Frenchman the sums paid by him into the American coffers, and employed It is among the evidence given before this court, which did not admit the charge of bad | faith, that you seek for proofs of that bad faith.

The settlement stands upon | its own basis, and it is too late now to attempt | to vary it by anything that was said before or after. What then was its objects? The letter and | statement shows it. First, that he went to the | Catawba Springs (not to the field) prepared to | fight ; and secondly, which was its main object, | to esplain why it was he dic got accept a direct invitation to the field, as it was construed to bim to be, instead of having Dr. Henderson address me a note which opened the door for reconciliation, Here then is the true reason for the publica- tion of Dr. Henderson’s statement, and unfor- tunately in doing so contradicts his letter to | me and the whole correspondence. it. Dr. Henderson says in his statement that | when called upon to act as Mr, Barringer’s friend, be at once pronounced my letter a direct jnvitation to the field, and such also was the opinion of Mr. Barringer. Let us see then how this statement agrees with the correspon- dence. The first letter I received when we met at the Catawba Sprigns on the 27th ult., was from Mr. Barrringer accompanying one from Dr. H. Mr. B’s as follows: Your note of the 17th inst. was handed to me at Morganton on Tuesday evening of the 21st.

I appended to the recent publication a note of three lines refer- ring to the authority for acertain vote of his, (while in Congress,) which is spoken of through- out the publication. Does Capt. C. pretend to deny that he gave such a vote? Then if it be a truth, why complain? Why not refer the Public to the time when, and the place where ? The mere allusion to a fact, on the records of the country, can harm no man ; and consti? ies neither bigh treason nor grand larceny. — In all sincerity | thought it my duty, in a publication designed to be full, to give all the lights in my wer, that the whole subject might be “judged of fairly and fully.” ‘That I withdrew the simple fact that he gave such a vole, if perfectly ab- surd. So far from this, if the Captain looks a- gain, he will find it distinctly “ repeated” in my letter that he did give the vote for the “ pe- culiar measure” of Mr. Tyler. This is, indeed, a small ‘matter over which to raise “a tempest in a tea-pot.” But the Captain is in great trouble about the statement’’ of Dr. A. M. Henderson, as to how he adjustment was got on foot! What Dr. 18 states, are they facts or are they not? Does Capt. C. deny that they are? Notat all! not at all!! He first pretends not to see the “use” of this “ statement ;”’ but, mark you, sets right off with all his might to prove its incon- sistency! Really I did not think the “ facts” could do harm to any one, and I am gure such a gentleman as Dr. H. could intend none. But if Capt. C. will pardon me, I will state to him its object, which is extremely simple. It was to account for Dr. H. ever doubting (as he did in his note of the 27th of August to Capt. C.,) that the first note of Capt. C. to me was a chal. lenge. Capt. C. himself states that the * note itself was unquestionably the highest authori- the remark the not break the spell. i it was pot exactly justice to me, to | ] the world that 1 made an “ unqualified with- drawal” of the charge, when every one who can read the English language can plainly per- ceive, that it is a delusion—that it was not just to me to publish this mistake of bis as the truth of the matter. But I do not complain. Nor will [ even complain of his charge a- gainst me of “ deliberate, unfounded maligoi- ty.” Were I disposed to do so, I might well reply—the father of the feeling is hisown heart, and that he himself entered upon this matter with “ pre-determined hostility.” When wrote my articles, the political charge I alluded to, had become public property by the tacit acqui- escence and silence of Capt. Caldwell himself. I thought I was sporting with a political toy, which had been handled against him publicly and privately through near seven years; and ‘strange to say is used against him in the very strongest sort of terms in an editorial in the same number of the paper in which my article “(C,” appeared ; and never before was regard- ed as “a gross and unprovoked attack upon his character.” Why, then, single me out from a thousand as guilty as myself; why be- gin the attack, by at once dashing in my face the “ bloody code,” with all its technicalities, and a flaming parade of its small artillery 7— Let the public * judge between us.” These are specimens of his attacks on Dr. Henderson and myself. ‘They rather amuse than harm. I have stuck to his record, and he cannot complain. My object is to repel and not assail; nor would I deign to appear as the advocate of my own conduct in an affair of this kind. That, I leave to others, who say that my conduct “throughout was most unexception- able.” There I rest it. The strife is over and the battle is recorded, like those of Milton in the Paradise Lost— “ without a list of killed or wounded.” At this the people will laugh and talk (as they have a right to) ten times more than had it been oth- erwise. Capt. C. and myself should laugh too, that we have furnished the food for fun. Jam disposed to laugh—the Captain seems to be out of sorts, So thought Dr. H., myself and my “three other subject ; and we made our preparations accor- dingly, for who—what human being but Capt.

Fight for the pure Jo: of it! We are no such heroes ! We are neither fire-eaters nor the children of Mars. Nor was this our war. Capt.

Whether it was a challenge, or whether it was not, is the real question ? that the first was a challenge, and that the lat. ter was no better. The notes will speak for themselves. Here is the first, (17th of Au- gust.) “Now, Sir, both of those communications (especially the latter) I consider a gross and _ unprovoked attack upon my character, fur which | I demand of you satisfaction. “This note will be handed to you by Mr. E.

Coiton is steady, but the sales are moderate and prices not materially changed. The grain market is a degree firmer, holders suppos- ing that prices have reached the lowest point. Provisions are in moderate request and prices gener- | ally well supported. The funds are steady, but a limited business going for- ward. Aceounts from the manufacturing districts are less encouraging, but trade is healthy. The sales of cotton for the week amount to 31,700 bales. The Committee’s quotations are 5§ for fair Up- land Mobile, and 5§d. for fair Orleans. The stock on hand is 539,459 bales against 555,230 bales the same time last year. The sales of breadstuffs are large and trade is firmer, ng to the unfavorable advices regarding the potato crop. Nery wheat and flour were in tolerably ac- tive demand. Very little Indian corn is offering, many holders having-withdrawn their supplies, expecting bet ter prices. Western canal flour is quoted at 22s 6d. to 23s. for prime quality, and inferior at 18s. a 198; Balti- timore and Ohio sells at 24s. per barrel; white Indi- an corn 27s. 6d. to 28s; mixed yellow 26s. a 27s. per quarter of 480 pounds; American wheat is quoted at 5s. a 6s. 9d. per 70 pounds.

Prance.—A letter from Louis Napoleon to his friend | Ney has been published in the Moniteur, and virtually | acknowledged by the Cabinet, which makes some talk | | in political circles. It says that the French Republic | | has not sent an army to Rome to put down Italian lib- | erty, but on the contrary to regulate it against its own excess—to give it a solid basis by replacing on the Pon- tificial throne the Prince who first boldly took the lead | in all useful reforms. He regrets learning that the be- | nevolent exertion of the Pope, as well as French ection, { | scriptive tyranny the basis of the Pope’s return. He | tells General Rostolan not to permit, under the tri-col- | ored flag, any act which can lower the character of | French intervention. He thus cuts off the restoration of the Pope’s temporal power, and extends a general amnesty as well as a secularization of the administra- tion of the code of Napoleon’s liberal government. A councll was held on the 15th. General Rawdon ; formally informed that he was appointed to the com- mand of the army of Italy. He then received his in- structions, which were, that, should the Pope not come to Rome, he is to carry out with rigor the line of con- duct specified in the President’s letter. General Raw- , don started on the same night to join his command. A telegraphic despatch reached Brest on the 6th with orders for six ships tu be held in readiness for sea.

It was noticed by our last, that in con- sequence of disagreement among the stockholders of this work, at Fayetteville, the operations of construction had ceased.

Contrary to the rule, this joke is not best when told inthe fewest words. To get all the cream of it, the reader would» have to wade through columns; and contrary to the rule again, he would not get tired, ifthere were twice as much of it. But we mast content ourselves with giving the shortest version. Father Ritchie can never re- cover entirely, from the awful fall which this up-tripping occasions him. ereemmcmen HOIST WITH HIS OWN PETARD! Our worthy contemporary of the Norfolk Herald, like many others, appears to have high- ly enjoyed the joke, and deduced the same mor- al, which all reflecting men will draw, from the shameless inconsistency of the “ sole organ of the Democracy.” “The cleverest joke upon a political cotem- porary. which we have ever heard of was re- cently played off by the Richmond Whig upon The story is told in the abridged article below and if it fails to draw liberally upon the risible resources of the reader, they must be at a low ebb. But the moral which it conveys is even better than the joke itself; as it shows the de- teriorating influence of a too ardent devotion to political partizanship in a long series of prac- tice, by which the gentleman in the largest sense of the word may so far lose sight his e- quanimity as to countenance (if not entirely commend) a rule of action for one party, which, under precisely the same circumstances, he de. conduct for another party. fort at defence by charging the Whig with sup. in 1829.” The Staunton Spectator also, has a keen rel- ish for a good thing: of the 21st inst., greatly exciled our curiosity by commencing an article in the form and man- ner as follows, viz :—‘ The Whig of this morn. ing willconvulse the Whigs of the universe with laughter.” We adjusted ourselves, of course for a good joke, and without disappointment ; reading on rapidly our eye met the following : “The old fox of the Union is caught at last, nicely, admirably, beautifully, trapped, and in his own snare!” For want of space, we are our cotemporary. It seems that in 1829, when the editor of the Union, then of the Enquirer, was busily en- gaged in organizing the “Jackson dynasty,” a communication was addressed to him from Washington signed “ Aristides,” proposing a system of espoinage throughout the Republic in aid of the Administration’s proscriptive policy. The friends of the Administration were called upon every where to volunteer information a- gainst adverse office-holders, and to propose substitutes of the right faith in order to com. plete the work of reform. The proposition was base and infamous in the extreme. The editors of the Whig, in #orning over the old files of newspapers, stumbled upon this let- ter of “ Aristides” to the Enquirer ; and for the purpose of entrapping the leading editor of the Union, transcribes the same letter,(with the exception of accommodation to present circum. stances) put the signature ‘ Jefferson’ and pub- lished it in the Whig as a Whig proposition, to see what the Union would say now to the same proposition addressed to the Enquirer, in 1829. The thing took admirably. The Whig re- marks—“ We felt some repugnance, to seem, by publishing it, to give countenance to such an abominable project.” * * But “ we felt a presentiment that we were about to hook the veteran and artful dodger.” Sure enough, the Union comes out with a most inflamatory and denunciatory article, identifying the members of the Administration with the base proposition of * Jefferson,” when lo and behold it was that of his own “ Aristides.” The New York Commercial thus touches the matter: | mount to $23,135 38 Expenditures, 26,493 68 Bal. against the Treasury, $2,368 30 |The General Agent’s statement shows the \issae of Bibles during the same month to _ have been, 17,823; of Testaments, 38,- 983; for the blind 8—in all 56,814.

Since Mr. Bancroft’s researches into the revolutionary history of the United States, has assigned the Mecklenburg de- claration of Independence, in 1775. the au- thenticity claimed for it, as well as its jority tothe great document of July 4, 1776, North Carolina has acquired a new feather to her State cap of pride. | Bat this is not her only claim to patri- otic distinction. Prior to the revolution- war, a number of ladies—twelve or thors, at Edenton, N. C., met casually to | a social evening, and when tea was | handed around one of the ladies remark- | ed, that for one she would be willing not. to taste a drop of tea, as long as England should continue to oppress them by heavy taxation,&c. This proposition was unan- imeusly responded to. The tea was. thrown overboard,(as at Boston.) and res- lutions were passed not to touch the ar- tiele until the grievances complained of | should be removed. Some years since, | while, Commodore Rogers was on a cruise inthe Mediterranean, in the ship-of-the- line “North Carolina,” stopping at a town on that coast, he stepped into a shoe-ma- ker’s shop, and looking around noticed a painting on a piece of glass set in a frame, representing this party of ladies in their “tea meeting;” figures of all the ladies were there, and also a chest oftea. The Commodore was delighted with this rem- emberance of other days, and purchased it. He brought it to Washington, and the cit- izens of Edenton, throngh one of their num- ber, addressed a letter to the proper de- partment at Washington asking it as a gift to their town. This request was promptly complied with. But the paint- ing subsequently became broken, much to the regret of the citizens. This paint- ing is supposed to have been made by an English officer, as a caricature of the meet- ing, and yet, though taken as a burlesque, faithfully represented the parties concern- ed—even the countenances of some of the ladies could be distinguished. One of the pumber, Mrs. Sarah Morgan, died a few years since, aged 88. This meeting is supposed to have been some months pre- vious to the throwing the tea overboard at Boston.— Cist’s Advertiser. ee ae eh aa am e ce in n e ee e ei n e ai e !

Jackson, tHe Bartisn Muasrer.— Washington Correspondent of the Philadelphia N. Ametiean, publishes the fol- lowing particulars of this case: In the case of Jacl ‘the British Minister, who was dismissed under Mr. Ms administfation in 1809, our Government did not submit his correspondence to | the British Government, but dismissed him on receiving an offensive note, without furnishing an oppo for | the amende honorable. The course of President Tay- lor has been more lenient, forbearing and generous. — | The offenee in Jackson’s case was this: Erskine, who | preceded him, had made an oil Dagranay relative tothe then existing difficulties between the two embracing among other things, the repeal of the Britich Orders in Council. The British Government undertook to disavow this arrangement, and Mr. Jackson informed Mr. Smith (then the Secretary of State) that it was void, because Erskine had uo instructions from his go- _ vernment to make it, and that the American Govern- ment must have been aware of that fact, because it had been annoanced to Mr. Pinckney, our Minister in Lon- 07 Secretary Smith senor that the Government every reason to suppose ine was fully empow- ar gel (erp ates wre of liaierunt ol iano Jackson reiterated his assertion. Smith replied that his language had become offensive, and was inadmissible, because he had before written to the British Govern- ment, disavowing the knowledge which he again charg- ed. Jackson rejoined, professing great e Government, and an anxious desire to mai friendly -Telations, but claiming freedom of discussion as a Min- ister, and again re-stating the argument from which he inferred that his Government must have had knowledge that Mr. Erskine was not instructed or empowered.— By Mr. Madison’s orders, the Secretary immediately wrote to Mr. Jackson, saying that the Government would hold no farther Correspondence with him, and put an end to the mission. The British Govern- ment, so far from taking offence at the course pursued forthwith issued an official recall, expressing its regret that this Government had adopted the formal diplomat- ic course of laying the complaint before them, to be re- dressed by the Government; and Mr. Foster was promptly sent to succeed Mr. Jackson, under the ad- , Ministration of Lord Wellesly. Gravity of manners is thought by some to be a mark of wisdom—yet the gravest beast is an ass—the gravest bird is an owl—the gravest fish is an oyster—and the gravest man is usually a fool. WMARBEBD.

Gcoarp against Future Evits.—A woman who would fill the station for which God evidently designed her, must make being agreeable, part of her duty.— They necd yp urging to look as pretty as they can ; na- tétes takes care of that. But nature contents herself with this lower prompting. She does not always sug- gest to ys that higher attractiveness without which even heauty is shorn of its beams, and which often supplies the place of beauty. If any of our readers have ever seen a foolish old woman, they will not need anything further on this point. Foolish young women we see ev- ery day; their youth and good Jook carry them along in a certain way among a certain class, pretty well for the present—may even get them husbands, such as they are. But when we see the result of such marriages, jot-us ask ourselves seriously, where lies the difficulty ? and cannot*fai ‘to-dmhusé rs. = a ~ ACORLESE MAN, |, The fatowing sapital 7s ag 1old by On one occasion, severalof the students of South Carolina College resolved to drag the Doctor's earriage into the wood, and fixed upon a night for the perform | ance of the exploit. One of their num ber, however, was troubled with some compunctious visitings, and managed to convey to the worthy President a hint, that it would be well for bim to secure the door of his carriage house. Instead of paying any heed to this suggestion the Doctor proceeded, on the appointed night, to the carriage house, and ensconced his portly person inside the vehicle. In less than an hour some half dozen young gen- tlemen came to his retreat, and cautious- ly withdrew the carriage into the road. When they were fairly out of the College precincts they began to joke freely with each other by name. One of them complained of the car- riage, and another replied by swearing that it was heavy enough to have the old fellow himself in it. For nearly a mile they proceeded along the highway, and then struck into the woods, to a cover which they concluded would effectually conceal the vehicle. Making themselves infinitely merry at the Doctor’s expense, and conjecturing how and when he would find his carriage, they at length reached the spot where they had resolved to leave it. Just as they were about to depart-— having once more agreed that “ the car- riage was heavy enough to have the old Doctor and all his tribe in it,’—they were startled by the sudden dropping one of the glass door pannels, and the well known voice of the Doctor himself thus address- ed them: “ So, so, young gentlemen, you are go- ing to leave me in the woods, are you? Surely, as you have brought me hither for your own gratification, you will not refuse to take me back for mine. Come, Messrs. , and ,and buckle to, and let us retarn; it’s getting late !” There was no appeal; for the window was raised, and the Doctor resumed his seat. Almost without a word, the dis- comfitted young gentlemen took their places at the pole, at the back of the ve- hicle, and quite as expeditiously, if with less voice, did they retrace their course. In silence they dragged the carriage into its wonted place, and then retreated pre- cipitately to their rooms, to dream of the account they must render on the morrow. When they had gone, the Doctor quietly vacated the carriage, and went to his house where he related the story to his family with much glee. He never called the heroes of that noctural expedition to an account, nor was the carriage ever af- terwards dragged at night into the woods. A CUTTING RETORT The family of Mrs. Brown, a good wid- ow; consisted of six daughters, had the misfortune to be poor and proud. Above the gross vulgarity of human labor, though not above its necessity, they lived in ‘stuck up’ idleness, and depended mainly on the hard earnings of the mother for support. Finally, Maria, who was the youngest, and rather pretty, managed to win the heart and hand of the village physician, and got married. The alliance being considered as a decided step ‘up in the world,’ by all the family ; the single sisters grew proud- er and lazyer than ever, while the doctor’s wife took a new and improved set of airs to match her advancement in the scale of ‘good society.’ Being comfortably bestow- ed in her new house, she began to need somebody to mind the pots and kettles; seeing a neighbor (a thrifty mechanic who used to be boss to her father in the same carpenter’s shop,) going past the door, she called out to him, in an affected manner to know ‘where she could find a servant’ expecting to get an offer of one of his daughters. ‘Well, I dont know,’ said the carpenter ; ‘help is a little hard to be got | now, but there are the widow Brown’s | girls, whom, I should think you might get, | as they are dreadful poor and seem to be | What drove the husband to dissipation—the wife to fol- ly? May it not have been something which made | home distasteful? Life is full of petty trials, trials that | they gre.uot to be met directly, or with special efforts to | puineiple, but provided against, in the mass, by ‘such stores of mind as give us something to think of besides the occurrences of the moment. Without this, every triffe “of daily life becomes of consequence, every little | vexation finds a bare nerve; a woman may become sour without knowing it and think her lot peculiarly hard, merely because she is ill-provided with the requi- site defences against a lot which she partakes with the whole sisterhood. Tug Wive axp Motuer.—It is sweet to a wife to feel that she is regarded as— * The light and music of a happy home, Ik was her voice that made the house so gay; Ker voice that made it eloquent with joy, Fler presence peopled it. Her very tread Had life and gladness in it.” Bat if the lineaments of happiness are so beautiful in | a wife, they are still more indispensable to a mother.— Tha litle chiid opens the door of its heart to the kind tone, the smiling brow,—thc -ye looking above this , world, ta.a brighter sun, Especially while engaged in | teaching her little one, let the mother preserve every | : | symbol of cheerfulness; the mild manner, the gentle | word, the tender caress.

ELIZA COOK. JUST PUBLISHED NO. 1 OF THE AMERICAN EDITION OF ELIZA COOK’S JOURNAL. Editerial Address. WutLe venturing this step in the universal march of periodicals, let it be understood that Iam not anxious to declare myself a mental Joan of Arc, bearing special mission to save the people in their noble war against Ig- norance and Wrong. I simply prepare a plain feast, where the viands will be all of my own choosing, and some of my own dressing, hoping that if what I provide be wholesome and relishing, I shall have a host of friends at my board, whose kind words and cheerful encour- agement will keep me in a proud and honourable posi- tion at the head of the table. I have been too long known by those whom I address, to feel strange in addressing them. My earliest rhymes, written from intuitive impulse, before hackneyed expe- rience or polite judgment could dictate their tendency, were accepted and responded to by those whose good word is a “ tower of strength.” The first active breath { . | of nature that swept over my heart-strings, awoke “but earnest melodies, which I dotted down in simple notes ; and when [ found that others thought the tune worth . . | | learning—when I heard my strains hummed about the sacred altars of domestic firesides, and saw old men, | bright women, and children scanning my ballad strains, then was I made to think that my burning desire to pour out my soul's measure of music was given fora purpose. | My young bosom throbbed with rapture, for ny feelings | had met with responsive echoes from honest and genu- ine Humanity, and the glory of heaven seemed partial- | ly revealed, when I discovered that I held power over the affections of earth. The same spirit which prompted my first attempt will mark my present one. What I have done has found generous support,—let me trust that what I may do will still meet the kind hand of help. I have full confidence in my friends, and believe if I offer them the combina- | tion of utility and amusement, they will freely take the ware I bring, and not think worse of me for mixing with them in the market-place of Activity and Labour Tam anxious to give my-feeble aid to the gigantic struggle for intellectual elevation now going on, and theg | my energies and will into a cause where my heart will zealously animate my duty. It is too true that there are dense clouds of Ignorance | yet to be dissipated—huge mountains of Error yet to be | removed ; but, there is a stirring development of pro- gressive mind in “the mass,” which only requires free , communion with Truth to expand itself into that en- , lightened and practical wisdom on which ever rests the | perfection of social and political civilization ; and I be- lieve that all who work in the field of Literatute with sincere desire to serve the many by arousing gencrous sympathies and educational tastes, need make little pro- fession of their service, for “the people ” have sufficient pereeption to thoroughly estimate those who are truly “with” and “for” them.

I do not understand that ieis denied that the | service rendered entitled the parties rendering it to salvage, except upon the ground that them. selves and their vessel con the naval marine of the United States. could such a denial have been made. The pro- ship * Eugenie,” of Havre, was duly received | your obedient servant, J. M. CLAYTON. Mr. Wa. TELu Pousstn, &c. ° The Secretary of State to the Minister of the United Stales at Paris. DeEPARTMENT oF SraTE, WasuiecTon, June 5, 1849. Str: You will receive with this despatch a copy of a correspondence that has recently passed between this Department and M. Pous. sin, the tone of which, on the Minister’s part, is regarded as offensive to the American Gov. | ecnment, and connot, it is presumed, mect the approbation of the Government of the Repub- . lic which he represents. From these papers you will learn that, in- October of last year, Commander Carpen. | der, of the United States Navy, commanding | United States war-steamer “Tris,” had the | good fortune to rescue the French barque | * Eugenie,” of Havre, which had struck on the | bank of Riso, near the anchorage of Anton Lizardo, on the coast of Mexico. Under the belief that the case was one which justly enti- \led his officers and men to salvage, the com. | mander caused the rescued vessel to be moored | in safety near the “Iris” until he could com. municate with the consignee, Senor Gomez, at Vera Cruz; but, after waiting thirty hours, and receiving no answer from the consignee, | he determined to deliver, and did deliver, the | barque over to the charge of her captain, In the opinion he entertained respecting the right to salvage, Commander Carpender was sup- ported by Mr. Clifford, our Minister in Mexi- | co, and his whole conduct was approved by | that Minister. On the 12th ultimo, M. Poussin, under ine | structions from his Government, addressed a | representation of this subject in a note to this Department, complaining, in strong terms, of | what he considers to arbitrary and illegal con. duct on the part of the commander of the Iris; | suggesting that that officer should be severely | _blamed, and asking that speedy satisfaction should be given to the just complaints of the French Republic. The Department lost no time in placing in M. Poussin’s possession the explanations of Commander Carpender, which bad been ob. | tained from the Navy Department; and, in communicating them, the hope was expressed that they would remove all misapprehension on the part of the French Government in regard to the conduct of the American officer. Com. mander Carpender and his crew had actually saved the French barque and her crew from imminent peril, if not certain destruction ; and for this signal service Commander Carpender has received, not merited thanks, but censure and indignant animadversion from the Minis. ter of the nation to which the vessel belongs. But M. Poussin himself was not satified with the exnlanations furnished, and without conde. scending to refer the matter to his Government and await their instructions, he declared the explanations to be not of a nature calculated to dispel the discontent ofhis Government. Hav. ing also failed to bring upon Commander Car. pender the severe reproof of this Government for an alleged error ** committed,” as M. Poussin rashly asserts, ‘ona point involving the digni- ty of your [our] national marine,” the Minis- ter taunts the Government of the United States with subscribing to the erroneous “ doctrines” of the commander, against which doctrines he therefure proceeds to protest in the name of his Government. The attention of this Government would not, perhaps, have been so strongly attracted to the tone and temper of M. Poussin, exceptionable as they are, had not that Minister, on a previous occasion, and that quite recently; made use of highly insulting language, in a note he address. ed to this Government under date of the 18th April last, the offensive portions of which he was aflerwards indulgently suffered to with- draw. In resolving to overlook this mark of disrespect was guided by a sincere desire to omit nothing would tend to promote the friend. ly and harmonious relations of the two Govern. ments. But, at the same time, not feeling dis. posed to countenance communications from any quarter which question or impugn the honor and dignity of the American Government, the President has deemed it proper to direct me to transmit to you the accompanying correspon- dence, which he wishes you to submit to the French Government. You will readily per. | ceive that the language objected to, and the. temper which M. Poussin has not been able to conceal, must necessarily tend to obstruct di- plomatic intercourse, and are essentially cal- culated to embcrrass rather than to promote a friendly discussion of questions that concern the honor and interests of the two Republics. I am, sir, respectfully, your ob’nt serv’t, JOHN M. CLAYTON. Rrewarp Rusa, Esq., &c. The Attorney General to Mr. Clayton. AtrorneY GENERAL’s OFFICE, FuNE 20, 1849. Sir: In compliance with the request of your | t t ey _ salvage. than exists in relationto American and other vessels and property, it will be found, up- _reydered by a public vessel. ihe | necessary. perty saved was in the most imminent peril, and its destruction certain, but for the aid of | Captain Carpenter and his men. It had every element of a salvage case, and, upon general principles, independent of the official charac. ler of the salvors, their title to such an allow. ance would have been perfectly clear. The single objection then to the claim was, & is, that they were a part of the naval marine of the United States. Is this a valid objection? I think not; and I propose to examine it briefly, _ first upon authority, and second, upon principle. Unless there be, upun some ground of recip. rocity, a different rule upon this subject, in re- lation to French vessels and property rescued from danger, under circumstances entitling to on authority, to be a perfectly plain question. How is the law in England? Does there exist there any distinction between salvage ser. | vice rendered bya public and a private vessel, or to a domestic and a foreign vessel? There does not. This wiil be plain from the citation of a few cases. First: That the service is In the case of Gage, (6 Rub. 273.) civil and military sal- vage were both decreed, and in the Lord Nel- son, (1 Edwards 79,) civil salvage; in each, the service being rendered by English men-of.- war, and the property saved being also English. No objection was intimated by the bar or bench to the claim because of the official character of the salvors—an omission utterly inconsistent with the existence there of a distinction in such cases between public and private vessels ren- dering salvage service. Second: Is the rule there a different one when the vessel and pro- perty saved are foreign, and not domestic 1— Clearly not. In the case of the Pensamento Felix, (Ed- wards 115,) the vesse! saved was Portuguese, and the claim actually made by the salvors was resisted, not upon that ground, or upon the ground of the public character of salvors, but because the service was not of amilitary kind entitling salvage. Iuanswerto this, Sir Wil- _liam Scott said: ** Now, supposing it were clear thatthere was really no salvage of war, the effect of this objection would only be that I should put the parties to the expense of a new proceeding in the Instance Court. There is no doubt that a Court of Admiralty has a gen. eral jurisdiction to reward services of this na- ture, and that the party would recover by ac- tion in the Instance Court.” He evidently considered the claim as per. _ fectly clear, doubting only as to the character of the salvage to be awarded ; that is, wheth. er it should be military or civil. But the right to it, notwithstanding the salvors belonged to the naval service of England, and the property saved was foreigu, was esteemed too plain for qrestion. I could multiply English cases if [thought it The objection, indeed, is nowhere, that I bave been able to discover, suggested ei- ther in any English or American case, or by any English or American commentator. Nor is it necessary to cite but one American case— The United States vs. the Amistad, 15 Peters, 518. ‘The facts, as far as this question is con. cerned, were these: The Amistad, a Spanish | Dodson, 318, “ and, though it is certainly the | schooner, on the 17th June, 1839, cleared from | duty of the King’s ships to afford assistance to all his Majesty’s subjects whom they may meet | Havana, in Cuba, for Puerto Principe, in the , same island, having on board Capt. Ferrer, and Ruiz and Montez, Spanish subjects, and fifty- four negroes. rose, killed the captain, and took possession of | the vesscl. They spared the lives of Ruiz and Montez, on their engaging to aid in steering the | schooner for Atrica, or toa place where negro slavery did not exist. The negroes were, how- ever, in this deceived, and the vessel steered for | the United States, where she arrived off Long Island on the 26th of August, and anchored within half a mile of the shore. In this condi- tion she was discovered by the United States brig Washington, Lieutenant Gedney. With the assistance of his officers and crew, he took | possession of her and of the negroes, and brought them into the district of Connecticut, and there libelled vessel, cargo, and negroes for salvage. The Spanish owners of a part of the cargo filed their claim to it, and denied salvage. ‘The Dis- trict Court decreed it to Lieut. Gedney, his of- | ficers, and crew, to the amount of one.third of the value of vessel and cargo, rejecting it for the negroes; pealed to the Circuit Court. ‘That Court af- firmed pro forma the decree, and the case was brought to the Supreme Court of the United States. There were many otber questions, growing out of facts which [ have not stated, because they have no bearing upon the one I am considering. It will be seen that, as far as that question is involved, the case is directly in point. The property saved, vessel and cargo, were foreign, and the salvors a portion of the. naval marine of the United States, on board a | public vessel of the United States. It was even | stronger in this, that there the United States themselves intervened, maintaining that it was their duty, under the treaty with Spain of the 27th October, 1821, to have fe property delivered entire to the Spanish owners, without any abatement for salvage, or any other claim. The then Attor- ney General, Mr. Gilpin, concludes his argu- | ment by saying that “the Court below has err- _ed, because it has not decreed any past of the | property to be delivered entire, &c. From the | vessel and cargo, it has deducted the salvage, | diminishing them by that amount.” But nei- ther in the court above nor below was the fitle to salvage contosted, except upon the ground of During the voyage the negroes | and the owners of the cargo ap. | 1795, as continued in 1819 and | | the supposed treaty obligation to restore Span- ish property in the condition in which this was - It was not pretended that any objection to it existed in the public character of the sal. vors or of their vessel. In giving the opinion of the Supreme Court, Mr. Justice Story says: “No question has been here made as to the proprietary interests in the vessel and cargo. It is admitted that they belong to Spanish sub. Jects, and that they ought to be restored. ‘The | only point on this beat is, whether the restitu- | tion ought to be on the payment of salvage or _not.”’—(15 Peters, 592.) And, after examin- . . ls : . stituted a portion of ing the other questions which the case present. Nor | ed, he concludes the point of salvage in these words : ** As to the claimof Lieut. Gedney for his salvage service, it is understood that the United States do not now desire to interpose | any obstacle tothe allowance of it, if itis deemed ' reasonable by the Court. It was highly meri- terious and useful service to the proprietors of | the ship and cargo, and such as by the general | principles of maritime law is always deemed a Just foundation for salvage. The rate allowed _ by the Court (being, as stated, one-third the | value) does not seem to us to have been beyond it of the case.” And the decree as to that was accordingly aflirmed. ‘This must be heldto be conclusive upon the proposition. ‘The point was | distinctly made, and distinctly decided. It is not, | therefore, with us an open question, nor indeed, | | upon the pretengions upon which I understand penter, (the public character of the salvors,) was it, in England or the United States, ever doubted. In the case of the Amistad that cha- the saved property ; and it was in relation to | service so rendered, to property so owned, that ‘the Court said that it was “such as by the general principles of maritime law is always deemed a jut foundation for salvage.” The doctrine upon the subject is therefore to use the language of Story, | Abbot on Shipping, page 379, No. 1, general principles as to the allowance of sal- | Yage are the same in American as io English | jurisprudence.” The only point, therefore, that could possibly arise in the present case is, whether we have a | different rule in regard to the salvage of French property. Ican find none stated or intimated | any where. | Versa vice rendered by the naval marine of the Uni- | ted States is to be compensated in like manner as that rendered by the private marine. And this brings me to inquire, secondly, How should the rule be upon principle ? That the public policy of all nations should ifest. Safety of life and property demand it, and the experience of the commercial world recommends it to universal adoption. It is the end to be attained which entitles it to and se- cures to it public favor, irrespective of the cha- _racter of the means by which it is accomplish- ed. The former addresses itself with persua- sive influence to all. The end, as life and pro- perty are dear, is, if possible, to be secured, and all fair and lawful means to effect it are conse- quently to be encouraged. Why, then, is it that the officers of public armed vessels are not to have the same incentive to exertions ne- _cessary to the end with others ? der any other special obligation to do such deeds of kindness and humanity ? and the cilizen are alike impelled to such ser- vice by general considerations of social duty. | But the law has deemed it wise to add to the | incentive of mere duty that of pecuniary re- | ward. peril, and the experience of the world has prov. | ed that it should be stimulated by the prospect of pecuniary compensation. In the language of Sir William Scott, in the case of the Louisa with in distress, yet I don’t know that itis incum. _ bent upon them, at the hazard perhaps of their lives, and without any prospect of reward, to take charge of a ship ina sinking state. Any hesitation in affording assistance might be of dangerous consequence to the property of per- sons so circumstanced, and it is therefore pro. per, for the encouragement of prompt and sig. /men to hold out to them the prospect of re- ward.” The whole doctrine rests, in truth, upon an enlarged policy, and from its very natuye must be irrespective of the private or public charac- ter of the salvors. In the words of Chief Jus- tice Marshall, in the case of Mason et al. vs. Ship Blaireau, 2 Cranch, 240—a French ves. sel, by-the-by, rescued from danger by the clai- mants of salvage—“ the allowance of a very ample compensation for these services (one ve- ry much exceeding the mere risk encountered and labor employed in assisting them) is in- tended as an inducement to render them, which it is for the public interests and for the general interests of homanity to hold forth to those who navigate the ocean.” experiment for France to adopt the rule, and obtain its recognition by the other nations of the world, that no salvage shall be allowed those who might rescue French life and proper- ty upon the ocean from impending destruction. There is, however, no such rule now exist- ‘jon that the case before me was one for sal- | Wage. I have the honor to be, &c. REVERDY JOHNSON. Hon. Joun M.

[ Translation. } Paris, August 9, 1849. Sir: I have received with the letter which _ you did me the honor to write to me on the 7th of last month the copy of the correspondence | and the Minister of France at Washington. up- on the subject of two claims, which the latter _ had been charged to present to the Federal Go- | Vernment: one against the irregular detention | of the French ship l’Eugenie, by Commodore Carpenter, off Vera Cruz; and the other for | the purpose of asking for an indemnification in | favor of M, Port, a French merchant, for the abrogation of the sale of a certain quantity tobacco struck off to him by the ‘comm ' the American forces at Puebla. . These two affairs, having hitherto been dis- cussed at Washington, where they are to be concluded, it is not my province to examine their merits. Besides, | am too certain of the integrity of the Government of the Union to ‘doubt that it will ultimately acknowledge every claim founded in right; and, on its part, itcan- | | not think that the French Government allows itself to be drawn by the desire of protecting its subjects to support pretensions the justice of | which has not been demonstrated to it. These sentiments of reciprocal confidence being of a nature to avert and prevent, in the discussions of private interests, those suscepti. ‘bilities and misunderstandings which cannot _ fail to complicate them, we have seen with as _much astonishment as regret the turn which the communications exchanged between our | Envoy and Mr. Clayton have taken. Even be- fore 1 had received the letter which you have _wrilten me to call my attention to them, M. Poussin had transmitted copies of them to me. I had been painfully impressed to find in that correspondence a tone of acerbity and harsh- ness very little conformable to the friendly re- | lations between the two countries ; but I ought | to say, without entering into uscless recrimina- tions, without seeking for the side whence the first injuries proceeded, it hud appeared to me that this observation was not alone applicable to the letters written by the Minister of France. M. Poussin, doultless misconstruing some expressions in those which have been address- /ed to him by the Secretary of State, believed he saw in them a want of respect, for which he may have manifested his resentment witb too much spirit; but if a passage of his letter 'of the —of April may have hurt Mr. Clayton, it seems to me that there is no longer any ground to take advantage of it against him af. 'ter he has consented to withdraw it; and he has given a pretty signal proof of his concilia- tory spirit in abstaining from animadversion _upon an expression in the answer addressed to him by that Minister on the 21st of April, which, estimated with a certain degree of susceptibil- ‘ity, might have seemed to be rather an imperi- ous summons than a diplomatic invitation. Furthermore, sir, it is not necessary for me to tell you that I entirely concur in the opinion which you express upon not deviating in nego- liations from the observances and forms of a benevolent courtesy. I invite M. Poussin never to forget this rule in his intercourse with the Government of the United States, and I am sure that, if it be re- ciprocated, the observance of it will be rendered easy to him.

Interesting news from Flortda.—We understand that the following gratifying intelligence has been received at the War Department from Gen. Twiggs: An in- terview had taken place between an of- ficer of our Government and some of the leading men of the Florida Seminoles, which resulted most satisfaetorily. It has been ascertained that the outrages com- mitted on Indian river and Pease creek were committed by a party of five young Indians, one whom was a refugee, who thought that he might escape from justice big end. The barrel is slightly rifled, but the grooves are perfectly straight, and not }, as in the American gan. The ball is consequently thrown a much greater distance, none of the force of the powder being wasted in giving it a useless rotary motion. The common charge is one half of that used in the old percussion gun, and is said to carry the ball to its. mark nine huadred yards. None of the powder is wasted, the fire being communicated from the side of the barrel, and not from the breech. This is effected by an ingen- jous contrivance.: The part of the cart- ridge next the ball is filled with an explo- sive substance similar to that ina percus- by embroiling his people in a war with the United States. The Seminoles dis- | claimed all connexion with the perpetra- ‘tors of the outrages, and stated that im- mediately after an effort was made to | captare the offenders, but that they were 'not taken until after the second outrage. | The offenders are now in custody, how- ever, and will in due time be delivered to ‘the proper authorities. A meeting be- tween the Heffd Chief of the Seminoles _and Gen.

Graham passed through this place on Tuesday morning last, and stated to some friends at the Hotel, that six gentlemen met in Raleigh a few days ago, and each of them subscribed to the Railroad, the sum of fen thousand dollars, making, in all, the handsome subscription of Sixty thousand dollars. This is doing bravely, and the names of those six gen- tlemen, for this act of liberality alone, de- serve to be enrolled very conspicuously, among the worthy sons of the Old North. Are there no more of the same sort? We trust there are many. Gov.

It will now be my business to offer a few reasons why all citizens of the State should feel interested in these projected improvements, and patronize them according to their means. 1. The first reason which I shall offer is that of individual pecuniary interest. When a rail road passes through any country, it makes every man’s property the more valuable in pro- portion to its vicinity, It gives.to every man, comparatively at his own door, a market for the produce of his lands, or the articles which he may manufacture. [tis supposed by many that those only will be benefitted that live im- mediately on the road. A very Jittle reflection, however, will be sufficient to show that such is a mistaken notion. Suppose the road were completed, and you owned @ plantation ten or twenty miles from the tract. Would you be willing to take for it what you now believe to be its value? If you wou ov are no Solo. mon. Is your plantation now under the high- est cultivation of which it is capable?

T HE Trustees of the MORGANTON FEMALE ACADEMY, take pleasure in announcing that they have secured the services of the Rev. J. M. Wi- son, as Prrincipal, assisted by Miss Pano, (an accom- plished lady from the North) in the Literary, and Mrs. Ann E. Erwin, in the Musical Department. The cha- racter of the Teachers, the healthfulnese and delightful scenery of the location—the hospitality and refinement of the society of Morganton, enable this institution to present strong claims for extensive patronage. Resolved, That a copy of the above resolves respect- ing an advertisement and paper called a protest, com- posed by John Dunn and Benj. B. Boote, be put up againet the two posts of the gallows and the whipping pest, to demonstrate the contempt in which this Com- mittee hold the author of so infamous a performance.” In Foote's Sketches, page 40, we see that these two Persons opposed the sentiments of the Mecklenburg re- solutions, when they were read at Salisbury by Mr. er, Capt. Jack, on his way to Philadelphia. The latter geatleman, however, in his statement in the State Pam- bat says he was told by Maj. Wm. Davidson, and Mr. Avery, an attorney, that they had heard of but one per- son, (2 Mr. Beard,) who did not approve of the resolu- tions. (See page 14.) tion beiag made to the Committee, (that) there was a strong suspicion Ben. B. Booie had received letters from bis Excellency of the same tenor with said proclamation: Resolved therefore unanimously, That Benjamin Booth Boote be summoned before the Committee, and demanded to produce said letters. Resolved, That if he refuses to or denies the receiving of them, force shall be used, and Giigent search made in order to procure them. Benj. B. Bote being first invited and afterward, sum- produce said letters, obstinate, declaring his resolution neither to appear, nor to deliver the letters: Resolved in consequence wheoeof, That Wm.

[From the Working Farmer.] The question is often asked, if cornstalks are of much value as fodder. Weanswer, ‘without much fear of contradiction, that if well saved, and properly used, they are fally equal to the same weight of hay. Last year we fed three yoke of oxen on cornstalks, with the additoin of no more feed than we should have used with the best English hay. Our mode of prepar- ing them was as follows: The stalks were cut with the ordinary | eylindrical machine in pieces of half an ine in length, and placed in a hogshead; three gallons of boiling water. containing one gill of salt, was thrown upon them, and the top of the cask covered with a blanket. The steam arising from the hot water, swelled and softened the cornstalks to their original size and when cold, a lit- tle ground feed was thrown upon them, and thus fed to cattle. Phe oxen worked bard all winter, each yoke bringing three loads per day, of moté than a ton each, from a distance of three miles, and in the spring they were aS well conditioned as in the fall. | We call attention to the advertisement of the Glenburnic Female Academy. under thé*sépervision of Rev.

I simply prepare a plain feast, | where the viands will be all of iny own choosing, and | some of my own dressing, hoping that if what I provide | | be wholesome and relishing, I shall have a host of friends at my board, whose kind words and cheerful encour- | | agement will keep me ia a proud and honourable posi- tion at the head of the table. | I have been too long known by those whom I address, | to feel strange in addressing them. My earliest rhymes, | written from intuitive impulse, before hackneyed expe- rience or polite judgment could dictate their tendency, | were accepted and responded toby those whose good | word is a “ tower of strength.” The first active breath. | of nature that swept over my heart-strings, awoke but | ~ | earnest melodies, which [ dotted down in simple notes i and when [ found that others thought the tune worth learning—when I heard my strains hummed about the sacred altars of domestic firesides, and saw old men, bright women, and children scanning my ballad strains, then was I made to think that my burning desire to poor out my soul's measure of music was given fora purpose. My young bosom throbbed with rapture, for my feelings had met with responsive echoes from honest and genu- ine Humanity, and the glory of heaven seemed partial- ly revealed, when I discovered that I held power over | the affections of earth. , The same spirit which prompted my first attempt will mark my presentone. What I hare done has found generous support,—let me trust that what I may do will | still meet the kind hand of help. I have full confidence | in my friends, and believe if I offer them the combina- | tion of utility and amusement, they will freely take the ware I bring, and not think worse of me for mixing with them ia the market-place of Activity and Labour. [ am anxious to give my feeble uid to the gigantic . struggle for intellectual elevation now going on, and fling | my energies and will into a cause where my heart will zealously animate my duty. It is too true that there are dense clouds of Ignorance yet to be dissipated—huge monntains of Error yet to be removed ; but, there is a stirring development of pro- gressive mind in ‘the mass,” which only requires free communion with Truth to expand itself into that en- lightened and practical wisdom on which ever rests the perfection of social and political civilization ; and I be- lieve that all who work in the field of Literatute with | Sincere desire to serve the many by arousing generous sympathies and educational tastes, need make little pro- fession of their service, for “ the people” have sufficient | perception to thoroughly, estimate those who are truly and “for” them. : I only ask a trial.

BOMMER METHOD. ’. Convertino Vecetaste Matter isto Mayxcre.— _ Various methods have been devised of late for convert- ing leaves, baulm and other vegetable snbstances into manure. - These, doubtless may be rendered of immense importance to the farmer, by their conversion into the food of planis—a result which by the ordinary process of puirifiertion and decomposition is accomplished slow - ly, and not unfrequeutly with great loss to the farmer as much of what in reality constitutes the most valuable part or essence of the decomposing materials is unavoid- ably dissipated and borne off. The system of Bommer, together with a numberless others of a cognate character, promises to be of great ad- vantage to the agriculturist, and is, in my opinion, enti- tled to a mvch higher degree of consideration and re- apect, iHan-it has yet received. It is nevertheless true, that those’ who avail themselves of the benefits of this system, are required to pay, a small amount for the right ; but in the catch-penny world, all things of real values 48.well as many things of no value—have their price; bat.in recommending a system by which a far- mér.is enabled-to secure to himself an immediate and un- Ghestionable advantage from what is usually considered & useless encumbrance to the soil—even though it sub- ject. the operator to some expense in procuring the “right” —I feel that I am amenable to no charge or im- patation which a single breath is not sufficient to refute. ~ A any persuadéd that—if results are to be relied on, ~Boémmer’s mariure is eruinently deserving all the praise at has Feecived, and that Bommer himself should be con- ‘templated, ndt by any means as a crafty speculator, or empyric in agriculiutal chem’stry, as some pretend to de- sigtiste him, but as-a man of profound experience, and & perfectly safeadviser in the great business which he has undertaken: Stilly no one can avail himself of the advantages resulting from the discoveries made by him withoul a disbursement ; and this I have no doubt, al- though.a@ small objection, in itself considered will be the ineans of deterring hundreds—ay, thousands trom participating in the good it is calculated to etfect. An.thie way it is certainly possible for the farmer to avail himself of a very efficient and valuable as- sistant, and,at comparatively small «xpense.

The terrible, however, was. his peculiar power. Then the house sunk before him; still he was dignified, and. wonderful as was his eloquence, it was at- tended with this important effect, that it possessed every one with a conviction. that there was something in him finer than _words; that the man was greater infin- itely greater, than the orator.” COUNTRY PRINTING. No trade, profession, or occupation says the Bradford Reporter, performs so much labor, and expends so great an amount of capital, with as little remuneration as the Country Printer. The interest manifest- ed by my Uncle Toby, when he said “I pity the Printer” was not misplaced.— These facts are true, as a general rule. | There may be occasional instances, where Country Printers have succeeded in gathering together the vanity which “takes unto itself wings,” but they are few and far between. Most generally, they suffer allthe inconveniences, which neg- ligent patrons (') and unrewarded labor bring in their wake. This should not be. There must be something radically wrong as the cause, which is worthy the serious , attention of the class of persons we are writing about. One great obstacle the country printer has to contend against, is the application of machinery, which reduces the cost of the city contemporary, and which is net a- vailable to him. Then, again, how Many | of the numerous Dollar prints which | come so directly in conflict with him, are but a reprint of matter which has already brought a large profit in the daily. Most of our country readers do not understand this and wonder why the city paper can. be furnished so much cheaper than the country. They are not aware that the | news &c., which has been printed for them has before been furnished in a daily pa- | per and made up at the week's end into a cheep weekly, costing the publisher lit- | tle or nothing beyond the mere price of | paper and printing by steam. This is in a great degree, the case with that ex- cellent paper the Dollar Newspaper of Philadelphia, which, with its 50.000 sub- scribers, must be exceedingly profitable | to its publishers. To attempt to enter in- (0 competition with such advantages. would be a peice of folly on the part of | the country printer, who is fortunate if he ean number one thousand subscribers. It is evident that he must depend upon the necesity there is for disseminating lo- cal papers, and the generosity and public spirit of the population. If they should expect hin to be governed in his terms by the example of the city papers, they must expect to rely on the city alone for their information, the circulation of the _former being, of necessity, limited to one county, while the latter have the entire State, or the whole Union.— Cambridge Democrat.

The New York Tribune, in a labored ‘article on a reform in trade, gives the fol- owing hints, in regard to the item of ad- verlising :— ; “We have remarked that extensive ad- vertising is one of the means by which the reform io trade is to be accomplished.— The two classes, buyers and sellers, have a common interest in finding each other; that is to say, it is for the interest of him who can supply a certain want cheapest, to have every buyer aware of the fact; and it is for the interest of the buyer no less. An expenditure of fifty thousand dollars may not be too much, one of five thousand may be too little for that purpose. If, for example, somebody has discovered as we see it stated in a Southern paper, a substance,—or chemical compound which will dispense with the labor now required in washing clothes, or the half of it, at a very small cost, the owner of this patent may spend fifty thousand dollars a year in advertising it, and then not spend enough. There are inventions, within our knowledge, worth hundreds of thou- sands, if the patentees knew how and had the enterprise to bring them home to the knowledge of all interested,by these fail- ings they will never realise twenty thou- sand. Whoevercan supply this city cheap- est, with almost any article which will meet a general want hitherto more expen- sively met, cannot advertise too much if he knows how to adv:rtise at all. And yet many a dealer in our city pays a thousand dollars more for an eligibly lo- cated store than he need pay in a less frequented street, and does not pay a hun- dred dollars a year for advertising! He willingly pays a thousand dollars, merely to let some ten thousand people know that he has certain articles to sell, but grudges five hundred dollars to give the same knowledge to millions.” In reference to this subject the Boston Times says: “If you want to obtain a situation; if you want to obtain help; if you want to hire or let a house ; if you want to obtain boarders ; if you want to recover anything lost or stolen; if you want to sell your goods, wares, and merchandise ; finally, if you want to get business, and make mon- ey, advertise, advertise.” Will the buisness men of Wilmington iake the hint?) Many of them have alrca- dy profited by advertising, yet there is a larger number who have not yet become reconciled to the advantages derived from advertising. Now is the time to com- mence. Ifa proper effort is made, the approaching season will be renowned for its activity in Wilmington, and we hold ourselves ready and willing to afford the public every facility in our power to ac. commodate them.

Dreadful Tornado in Cape May.—The most destructive whirlwind that has oc- curred in New Jersey since the memora- ble tornado at New Brunswick, many years ago, appears to have swept over the upper part of Cape May County about 5 o'clock on Thursday morning last. A let- ter from Dennisville, some 7 miles from Delaware Bay, to the Stute Gazette, says it first struck a new two story house he- longing to Willis Godfrey, which was torn from its foundations and dashed to pieces. Mrs. G. and two children miraculously escaping : “ A few rods further, it came in contact with a new story and a half house, in which were the wife of Jones Corson, lately married, and her sister, both in bed. Everything is swept clean where this house stood ; it was entirely demolished. Mrs. Corson was found dead in the limbs: of an old oak tree that was blown down some 40 yards from the site of the house. But little hopes are entertained of the re- covery of her sister, who was terribly mu- tilated. « From this point it passed onward, car- rying fences, trees, &c., before it had a breadth of 40 yards, a quarter of a mile further, where it encountered a large two story house, in which were the widow of Daniel Young. her daughter and three others. The house met no better fate than those above mentioned, yet strange to say, the inmates received but slight in- jury. “At the end of another quarter of a mile, it struck a large barn, and what it did not take off entirely, it scattered in every direction. From this point it upset some small buildings, and threw others off the blocks, until it reached Great Egg Harbor Bay,near Beesley’s Point, no doubt making a magnificent water ‘spout'in its passage over the water. ».A part of a roof was found on the point of .Peck's; beach, four miles from the scene of disaster, and a hat six miles off. A scythe without a snath, was carried three-fourths of a mile. houn Mr, Calhoun.—The rumor that Mr. € , aes se mediates resigning his seat in the § the United Sines te pronounced by vi Carolina papers tu be ‘without foundation. The Position of Newbern.—The New- bernian of the 2nd instant, we are glad to see, has a spirited article on the sub- ject of internal improvements. It lays it down as certain, whether the charter of the North Carolina Railroad, in its pre- sent shape, be accepted or not, that a cen- tral road, connecting the East and West, will be built. It argues somewhat against the practicability of a permanent and sufficient improvement of the Neuse, and in favor of a continuation of the Road di- rect to Newbern ; and calls upon the citi- zens of that place to arouse themselves to action, and‘assist in pushing forward the enterprise. “Connect, (says the wri- ter.) the East with the West by a contin- uous route of Rail Read from Charlotte to Newbern, by way of Salisbury and Ra- leigh, and then open a ship channel. say from some point up on Adam’s Creck to Beaafort, and Newbern would be made.” These are exactly our sentiments—what we have repeatedly, in our paper and else- where, urged in behalf of Newbern—a town, which is, in fact, more deeply in- terested in this enterprise—if she will a- vail herself of its advantages. as she may | —than any other inthe State. But what can she expect, if she will continue to shut her eyes, fold her arms, and sleep on in inglorious supineness? We call onthe press there, we call on her enlightened citizens, some of whom, we know, under- stand, and feel the important interest she has at stake, to exert themselves until all the people shall see.—Ral. Star. It rejoices our hearts to see such mani- festations of awaking spirit as this of the “Newbernian.” O, if the large capital of the low country could be enlisted and united with the labor and energy of the West in a thorough scheme of State im- provement, (of which the Central Road would be the very spinal marrow.) how soon would the people of North Carolina become “ one and indivisible” in interest, and feeling, and hope, and prosperity ! The Newbernian says, whether the pre- sent charter be accepted or not, that a central road, connecting the East and West, will be built. Do not deceive your- self, dear sir! We confess that failure in the present scheme will be destruction to our hopes. We fear there will ever here- after be found too many adverse interests, in the East and the West, to permit a charter embodying so many elements of success. No—this is the charter, and now is the time ;—let us strike while the iron is hot. Greensboro’ Putriot. From the New Orleans Delta. INTERESTING FROM FLORIDA. Fort Brooxe (Tampa Bay) Fla., Sept. 21. Dear Delta—On the 15th instant Gen- eral Twiggs embarked on board the stea- mer Colonel Clay. for Charlotte’s Harbor, the scene of the depredations of the Indi- | | ans—for the purpose of holding a “talk” | with the principal chiefs of the Seminoles, | as was allude to in a previous letter.— | The General was accompanied by Dr. Randall, Maj. McCall, Asst. Adjt. Gene- | ral; Capt. Cassey Commissary Department | and Lieut. Gibbon, with Capt. Rains com.- | pany of 4th Artillery as a military guard | and escort. The steamer reached her destination | on the 17th, and anchored near an old | trading house on the east side of the Bay, | a few miles -from its mouth. Here the. head chief, Billy Bow Legs, accompanied | with the acting chief of the Micasookies | and several warriors,, went on board the | steamer, and held a “talk” with General | Twiggs. | The chief is described as being a fine. looking warrior about forty years of age | with an open intelligent expression of | countenance, totally void of that wild look which so frequently characterizes | the inhabitant of the forest. ‘lis figure | is about the ordinary height, and well pro- | portioned with a pleasing deportment and | evincing much self-possession in his man- | ners. His head was enveloped in a red shawl, surmounted with white feathers, encircled with a silver band, with cres- cents of the same metal suspended from his neck to which was appended a large | silver medal, with a likéness of President Van Boren on its face; his throat was thickly covered with strands of large blue beads, he also wore bracelets of silver o- ver the sleeves of his decorated hunting shirt. A broad, showy bead belt passing over his breast, suspended a beaatifally beaded rifle pouch under his left arm, and red leggings, with brass buttons, which were richly embroidered with beads where they covered the upper part of the moc- casins, completed the costume of the king of the Seminoles. The amount of the “talk” was that the Indian nation was totally opposed to a war with the whites and would exert | themselves to continue on terms of peace; that the depredations committed by a par- ty of five young men, who weald be giv- en opto the General as soon as they could be sent after to the Kissimce, where they were in custody, and the party could return; and as the whole country was cov- ered with water, this could not be done sooner than in thirty days, bat at the end of that time. be(the head chief)pledged himself they should be delivered up to the General. _He acknowledged the extent of the outrages for which he expressed | occasion. bimsell as very sorry but as they . were committed by a small party of anaathor- ized persons, who were immediately ta- ken into custody, and would be delivered up, he did not think the entire nation should be held responsible for their acts. Thas terminated the conference, with manifestations of the best feelings on both sides the chief and his party returned to their homes, and the General and suit wending their way back to this place. PRESIDENT TAYLOR. The following passage we extract from a speech of Josiah Quincy, Jr., at the late Whig Convention of Massachusetts. We regret, with the distinguished speaker, that it was not in the power of President Taylor to have min- gled in person with the intelligent yeomanry of the Bay State. He is a man of the fashion and the temper to have won among them an in- stant, an electric popularity, that would have thrilled through their ranks from the Capes to Berkshire, and expelled all the lingering doubts and prejudices that have been so assiduously disseminated in a section where his rare vir- tues and noble qualities might well look for the most genial sysmpathy and the most just appreciation. If the people of Massachusetts could see General Taylor as Mr.Quincy saw him; converse with him; know, /by personal experience, his gentleness, his kindness, his unassuming spirit, his modesty, his good sense, his good judgement—there would not be op- position enough left in the State to make a show of hands necessary to indicate the state of opia- ion. He would carry every thing by acclama.- tion.— Republic. “It was my good fortune (said Mr. Quincy) tobe at Washington for three or four weeks, about the beginning of last March, and it was my exceeding good fortune to be under the roof with one who was at least called General Tay- lor. Sir, I cannot help regretting that his health prevented his having an opportunity of showing himself to the yeomanry and citizens of Massachusetts. I regret that they could not see President Taylor as he appears to all about him. “We are very apt, gentlemen, to judge by what we have seen of the militia. I remem. ber, sir, that I was once aid to his excellency Governor Lincoln, and we thought then that the military had more fuss than feathers, I be. lieve. “As regards General Taylor, he is exactly what his soldiers call him—Rough and Ready. He looks no more like one of those officers whom you will see, on an inspection day, rid. ing about on horseback, with long plumes, than he dues like a Methodist minister. I confess, sir, I could not help looking at him with aston. ishment as I saw him sitting upon his sofa, in his parlor, a quiet modest-looking man; and I could not help thinking to myself, is that the fellow that sat sideways‘on Old Whitey at the battle of Buena Vista ? ‘“* We are apt to look upon the title * Rough and Ready’ as one which was got up for the We are apt to imagine that a com. mittee has been appointed to draught resolu- lions, and to present to the public such a name as will be taking. But that is not the case with a name like this. The highest glory of ancient knighthood was when the soldier was knighted by his sovereign on the field of bat- tle. The highest title of a military man in a republic is when his soldiers give a name that | shall signify at once their confidence in him and their appreciation of his modesty. “He is called ‘ Rough and Ready’ because in every rough situation he was ready; be- cause he was found sleening side by side with the common soldiery, with a tent or without a tent; because he was found in the forefront of the battle, marked only by his venerable and his siinple appearance. “* Whigs of Massachusetts, you owe a great deal to Gen. Taylor. You have placed him in a situation of great responsibility. You have taken him from the position which he filled so nobly—that of a soldier among soldiers—and you have called him to preside over the desti- nies of this country. He is now attacked very much as he was befure the battle of Buena Vista. Nobody says a word against him.— Every body acknowledge his virtues, his mod. esty, his judgment ; but they are trying, if they _ possibly can, to get away as many as possible of his troops before he comes into action.— _ They are trying to pick off the officers; and ‘upon what vrounds do they pretend to pick them off ! | At one time we are told that General Tay. | lor is afraid to maintain the dignity of bis coun. try; that he is really afraid. Because he | thinks it wisest and best, as it was his duty to | do, to prevent any armed interference with for. eign countries by citizens of this country; be- cause he will not submit to a failure of the pro- per diplomatic decencies of the Cabinet—we are told that he is afraid on the one hand, and on the other that he is desirous of involving us in war. “ Fellow-citizens, it is our duty to stand by the man that we have put into that place. To be sure we are not going to cast our votes fur him at this time, but we my assist him. The vote of Massachusetts has always been since the days of 1776, and I trust always will be of great weight in the United States of America. It is our duty to stand by the man whom we have placed in that elevated position. Whigs of Massachusetts, you are entrusted with a cer- | tain post im this warfare. You are entrusted "with the defence of a citadel that has never surrendered, and it is your duty, as long as you have a leader like General Taylor. as long as he stands firm and true to the banner of Whig principles, to give your time and your talents to sustaining him, and, petey eer? to sustain- ing the principles by which this common. seal risen, as it bas, to so much glory and honor.” : ied: 3 Sa Re * ogy ‘ deofel torejeet aseful; tore . good, no matter sible ;-to open war against ‘e hing emanate from Presiden ‘aylor, ter how consistent even with? viously expre views. t subject ? it mean to imits foreign organ, and expressing-at'l outset, its determination'to ministration (right or wi ter end,” act in strict declaration throughout ?

ASHEVILLE, OCTOBER 16, 1849. Dear Sin: A letter now before me from one of the Northern Contractors, to whom I wrote when in Salis- bary, referring to the project for building the Central Rail Road, holds the following Janguage : ‘Send me the charter, and I will immediately Ds ceed to raise the necessary men and funds. Your scheme cannot fail tu be a productive one.” Another writes that he likes the project well, and wishes to know what steps he shall take in the matter. Both of these men are fully able to take the whole sub- scription list themselves, so that I now consider the Central Rail Road as safe. | We must not stop here. The Road must be contin- ued from Salisbury West to the Tennessee line—the dif- | Geulties in the way of this project, are nothing like as great as those from Salisbury to Raleigh. The valleys of the French Broad and Catawba offering the easiest of plateaus for such constructions. Three millions more will carry the Road to Tennes- see, and I speak advisedly when I say that with the same | facilities now given by the State in the Central Rail | Road Charter, I will undertake to have a million raiséd | on the extension in six months.

And if its good fruits call forth the applause of the people general- ly, how great must be the gratitude and pleasure of those parents whose children, shut up in darkness by the loss of hearing and speech, have been restored to them with highly cultivated intellects, and a language even more impressive than words. so punctually answered our call last week, for a few dimes to grease the joints of the Press, will please accept our thanks.— There are but few communities which either more liberally patronize, or panc- tually pay the printer than that of Cabar- rus; and when we say this we mean to express a compliment which editors in the South can generally appreciate. King Ferdinand used to say that he al- wayg#listinguished a wise man from 2 fool by the way he governed bis family, his moderation in anger, and his writing a letter without useless repetitions. c ee ristian fellowsbip with peltiag: ya fiprs— | above the teachings of God and, rising himself, assert that to be wrong which He has sanctioned. Sach is their -con- duct on this subject, that one would he led to suppose, that in all the relations of life, touching civil and religious liberty, to say nothing of mercy, amiableness, good will and love, that they were as ci- ties set upon hills; and in their inter- course with the black man especially, they would exhibit in the greatest perfec- tion these characteristics. Bat» how strangely different are the facts. There is scarcely a month that passes that the conduct of these people do not give the lie to all their implied professions. The negro in the Northern cities, is often the subject of oppression and gross wrong; and so far from their exciting the sym- pathies of these croakers, and eliciting in their behalf any peculiar respect, (except when assailed by Southerners) they are spurned from society, and often shame- fully mal-treated by furious mobs. Wit- | ness, as a recent instance, the Jate outra- geous mobs which assailed the colored people of St. Mary’s street, Philadelphia; where men, women and children, were seen flying from their fired houses in ex- treme terror, chased by gangs who pelted them with brickbats, and fired after them with guns and pistols, of whom many were seriously wounded and some killed outright. Witness many similar acts in the same goodly city, within some few years passed ; and the refusal of the peo. ple of Ohio even to allow John Ran- dolph’s freed slaves to settle on land in that State which had been previously bought and paid for, for their use. Shame, shame, on our pure, good-hearted, liberty- loving friends of the North! Until they behave better than this, all their fine preaching to as is utterly lost. Nay, they must mend their manners, or we shall have to insist that they come South and sit and listen, whilst we teach. Their precepts abroad and examples at home are like the poles. Their hatred of slave holders, and abhorrence of the negro in their midst, kiss each other. The fair la- dy abolitionist of Massachusetts throws ber beautiful arms around the sable kinky head of the South, whilst she refuses to sit at the table of Christ with the humane master of that slave; and yet strange to say she will have no communion with the negro at her door. Oh it is beautiful !— the very perfection of fanaticism. CABARRUS COURT.

On that day last week, there was a much larger attendance than on any other; but not so large as we have | seen at other times. We also noticed that there were but very few ladies to be seen on the street that day. Ten years have wrought a considerable change in the cus- toms of the people in respect to the at- tendance of ladies on Court, and other public days in Cabarrus, as also in Rowan. We well remember our first visit on al —- | able class find the Locofoco party most congenial public day, to Concord: We were some younger then than now, and decidedly more susceptible of impressions of a par- ticular nature ; and, blessthe girls /—they thronged the streets and stores, and lit the scene with their bewitching smiles to such a degree, that, positively, we were in a maze all the while, and did not finally re- | cover from the effect for several days.— But “times” have changed, and you may go to Court now, and meet with nothing more interesting than a treop of lean young barristers. Nothing of very special interest tran- spired at Concord during the sitting of Court up to Wednesday noon. The pub- lic meeting advertised in the “ Hornets’ Nest,” to be held there on Tuesday, for the purpose of giving public expression of opinion on the subject of the Wilmot Pro- viso, did not take place. The disappoint- ment appears to have been caused by the limited notice given, only a very few per- sons having seen the notice, or heard any thing concerning the proposed meeting. While in Court a few minutes on Wed- nesday, the application of Mr. Henry W. Brown, of this county, for the renewal of his license to retail spiritous liquors in Con- cord, was submitted to the Court, and the renewal granted. Parrow's Minstrels played in the Court | vase, | with the Whig party of the State, | | appeared in several counties of the Reserve 3s | House on Monday and Tuesday evenings. They were well patronized, and their en- tertainment, it was easy to perceive, gave entire satisfaction.

Lecofoco Rascality in Ohio.—Last win- ter, Mr. Breslin, the Locofoco Speaker of the House of Representatives, wrote to one of his constituents a letter from which the following is an extract: Cotumsvus, March 4, 1849. Dear Sir :—We had another election yesterday, and elected four Democratic Judges. We would have elected twelve, but Larimer of Perry, bolted and voted with the Whigs. As soon as we discovered this we raised a FUSS by point of order, &e., and by DOUBLE BALLOTING, de- feated anelection every ballot. We kept up the ‘confusion’ for three hours, and then compel/ed the Whigs to adjourn until 10 o'clock to-morrow. There, take that as a specimen of Hon. esty, Honor and Patriotism ! !

The only subject of conversation in the political circles of Paris, is the manifesto of the Pope. It has been remarked as | Singular, though not altogether unexpect- | ed, that throughout the whole of this man- _ifesto the name of France nowhere oc- ‘curs, though she has played so prominent |& part in restoring the Sovereign Pontiff to his temporal Government. This stu- died omission has grievously wounded the pride of that country, and is certainly not calculated to heal the differences so long existing between the two nations. In speaking of Gen. Taylor’s proclama- tion forbidding the invasion of Cuba from the United States, the European Times says :— “ We are glad to find that President Taylor is not disposed to sanction a mighty _act of spoliation, to be committed by a _band of mercenary and unprincipled ad- venturers. Throughout the whole of these | doings, it is carefully kept out of view that a specific treaty exists, to which France, Spain, England, and the United States are parties, by which the depen- dency of Cuba to the mother counntry of Spain is especially guarantied.” California Houses.—A gentleman, an_ in. habitant of Mazatlan, but at present in New York, bas had an iron house built for export to Francisco. It is three stories high, and about twenty-five by forty feet in dimensions. It will go oul complete in every respect except the set- ting up. ‘This house is nearly ready, and so well pleased is the owner with its appearance, that he yesterday gave an order for thirty three iron houses, of various dimensions, to be got ready as soon as possible. His present inten- tion is to buy a vessel, load her with these hous. es, and take these smaller sizes directly up the Sacramento to the mining district.— Tribune. | The Plank Road.—We are informed that a- bout seven miles of the Road, between this and Murchison’s Factory, is already opened and graded. Letters have been received in this place from the back country, expressing dissatisfaction at a reported location of the route in Randolph county. It may quiet all such rumors to state that no part of the line of the road beyond Mur. chison’s Factory has been located except as to the main points determined on by the Stock- holders. It is to be hoped that the friends of the enterprize will manifest a little generous confidence in those who have it in charge. Fay. Observer. THE CURRENCY. A letter from the Hon. T. L. Clingmon, of this State, upon the subject of the National Currency, addresed to Simeon Draper, of N. York, will be found on our second page to- day. Mr. Clingman has evidently bestow- ed much study and thought upon the matter, and his views are forcibly presented. His | scheme seems to look to the establishment of Banks in different parts of the Country, for the issue of bills based upon Government stocks or for anissue of Treasury notes to incorpora- MARYLAND ELECTION. Wherever the Locos have succeeded in | this State, it has been by a diminution of | the Whig vote, without any tncrease of the | Locofoco vote. This proves that the Whigs | have not ceased to exist, or that the Loco- focos have not augmented their strength. It proves also, that the Whigs are still as powerful as they ever were, and have only to exert themselves to achieve a vic- tory.— Richmond Whig. The Baltimore Patriot has the subjoin- ed remarks on the result in Maryland : “ The Legislature will be decidedly Whig in both Houses. There was no e- lection for the Senate this year. The | members of that body are divided into 14 higs and 7 Locofocos. So far as we Mary’s, Charles and Somerset to hear There is no regular opposition made to the Whig tickets in St. Mary’s Charles. The six delegates from these counties would give the Whigs 44 mem- t$ in the House, a majority of six. with- ‘ut counting Somerset, from which, it is ‘reasonable to expect, the full ticket is elected, NATIONAL MONUMENT.

The exquisite bloom on the cheeks of American girls fade in the matron much sooner here than in England—not only It is because exercise, so | so largely insisted upon in England ; and it is | because exercise, when taken here at all, is too Vollen asa matter of duty, and has no soul in | it; while the English woman, who takes a live- ly interest in her rural employments, inhales | new life in every day’s occupation, and plants | perpetual roses in her cheeks by the mere act of planting them in her garden.” Important Decision in New Jersey.—The United States Circuit Court at Trenton has just decided an important suit in that State, where a plaintiff claimed title to land under the proprietors of East New Jersey, which was derived from the grant of King Charles II. to his brother, the Duke of York, made March 12, 1654. This was a very comprehensive grant, beginning at St. Croix and extending to the east side of Delaware Bay, which grant invested the Duke of York with the property and the power of government. ‘The Court de- cided that, “ afier the revolution and the estab. lishment of a new Government, all royal rights and privileges became vested in the people, re- ( presented by the sovereignty of New Jersey, , and the proprietary rights became null and void.” A California Adventurer.—Several months since a young gentleman of this city (not reg- ularly engaged in trade) had the curiosity to try his hand at the California adventure, and sent out fifly barrels of cider, which cost him $5 a barrel. The freight was $3 more, making $8 a barrel, or a total expenditure of $400. Bub. sequently he parted with a share in the adven- ture toa friend. ‘They have just learned ‘the result. The cider sold in California for $120 a barrel, yielding a total of $6,000, nine-tenths ; pr BS dencé in some part “of “A babe in a house is like a of pleasure, a messenger of peace and love ; Yet it is a talent of trust, a loan to be rendered back with interest.” Tupper.

It was'in the year 1892, during the early days of the great French ‘Revolution, when a young officer in delicate heath took up his quar. his leave of absence. . lt seemed a strange re- lirement for a young man, fur in the town be kuew no one, aud jn the depih of winter Mag- seilles was no tempting residence. ‘The offi- cer lived in a garret looking out upon the street, which bad for its sole furniture a harpsichord, a bed, a table, and acbair, Litle but paper ever entered that apartment, where fuod and | fuel both were scarce ; and yet the young man | generally remained in doors all day assiduous. ly writing, or rather dotting something upen | paper, an occupation he alternated with music. | Thus. passed many months. ‘The \young | man grew thinner and puler, and his leave of absence appeared likely to bring no convales- ence. But he was handsome and interesting, | despite bis sallow hue. Long hair, full beam. _ing eyes that spoke of intelligence, and even | genius, frankness of manner, all prepossessed | kindliness came to him ‘from beautiful eyes that he noticed not nor cared to notice. Ja “fact he rarely went cut at night, and then to | walk out by the booming sea, which made a | kind of music he seemed to love. Some. times, it is true, he would hang about the the; atre doors when operas were about to be play. ed, and look with longing eye within; he never entered: either his purse or inclination failed him. But he always examined with care the name of the piece and its author, and then walked away to the sea-shore to muse and meditate. Shortly afier his arrival in Marseilles, he visited one after another, all the music sellers and publisbers in the town witha bundle of manuscripts in hig hand ; but his reeeption was not apparently very favorable, for he left them all with a frowning air, and still with bis bun- dle of manuscripts. Some had detain him a long time, as if estimating the value of the goods he offered for sale; but these were no more tempted than the others to try the salea- ble character of the commodity. The house he lodged in had attached to it a large garden. By permission of the landlord, the young man often selected it fur his evening walks, and de. spite the cold, would sometimes sit and muse in a rude and faded bower under a wail at one of the gables. Here he would occasionally even sing, ina low tone, some of hie own com. Positions. ft happened once or twice that when he did so, a female head oubtruded froma win. dow above him, seeming to listen. The young man at length noticed this. ‘ Pardon, lady,’ said he one evening; ‘ per- haps I disturb pou ?” ‘Not at all,’ she replied ; ‘I am fond of mu- sic, very fond ; and the airs you bum are new tome. Pray, ifnot a rude question, whose are they ?’ ‘ Citoyenne,’ he answered diffidently, “ they are my own.’ ‘Indeed!’ cried the lady with animation ; and you have never published them ?’ ‘I shall never try—again,’ he murmured, ut- tering the last words in a low and despairing tone, which however reached the ears of the | young woman. | *Good night, citoyen, said she, and she clos- 'ed her window. ‘The composer sighed, rose /and went out to take his usual walk by the sea | beach; there, before the grandeur and sublimi- ty of the ocean, and amid the murmur of its bel. lowing waves, to forget the cares of the world, | | | his poverty, and his crushed visions of glory /and renown—the day dream of all superior | minds—a dream far oftener a punishment than indeed are successful. | babited in cloak and hood, entered it, and after light, a cry of a thousand voices thundering the | ters in the city of Marseilles for six months of in his favor, and many a smile and look of P | 3 ‘ard; for of those who sigh fur fame, few laa, will be forwarded free of commission, and at Fay- | * reward; fe 8 ’ worthy excellent maa, who ia his day: hait-pub. lished more music, bad and good, than a musi- cian could have played in @ life time. * ¥ou have something aew, therm, citoyen 1’ said Dupont after the usual ‘prelimitaries, and after apologising to a jady within: bis office for leaving her fora while. :* As my time isipre; cious, pray play it at once, and sing it if you will.” The young man sat himselfat the harp. sichord which adorned the shop, and hegan at once the *Song‘of the Army of the Rhine.’— ‘Fhe music-publisher listened with thé knowin and of'one who is not to be deceived, and sh his head as the composer ended. * Rough—crude—but clever. Young man, you witl, f doubt not, do something good one of these days, but at present [am sorry 'o say your efforts wants finish, polish’ The sing- er rose, and bowing, left the shop, despair at his heart. He bad not a cent.in the world; his rent was in arrear; he knew not how to dine that evening, unless, indeed, his mother came again to his aid—an aid he was very un- willing to receive. His soul recoiled from it for he had parted from her in anger. His mo. ther was a Royalist, he was a Republican, and she bad said hitter things to him at parting.— But most of all the composer’ felt one thing ; the world would never he able to decide if he had not merit: and this was the bitterest grief of all. That day was spent in moody thought. The evening came, and no sign again of his secret friend, whetber mother, or unknown sympathi- ser. Towards night the pangs of hunger be. came intolerable, and afier numerous parleys with himsell, the young man ascended to his room with a heavy parcel. His eye was wild his cheek pale, his whole mien unearthly. As |- he passed the door of his lodge the concierge gave him a ticket for the Opera, signed Du- pont, who was eo-manager of the theatre. ‘* Go yourself,” said the composer in a low, husky voice, and he went up stairs. Having gained the room the unhappy and misguided young man sat silent and motionless for some hours, until at length hunger, despair, and his dreamy visions had driven every calm and good thought from his head, and then he dared quietly proceed to carry out his dreadful and desperate intent. He closed carefully the window, stuffed his matreseup the chimney, and with paper stopped every aperture where air could enter. ‘Then he drew forth from his parcel charcoal anda burner, and lit it. Thus had this wretched man determined to end his sufferings. He had made one last effurt, and now in that solitary, dismal garret, he laid him down to die; and poverty and misery, genius and death, were huddled close together, Meanwhie, amid a blaze of light, the even. ing’s amnsements had begun at the theatre.— A new opera from Paris was to be played, and the prima donna was the young, lovely and worshipped Claudine, the Jenny Lind of that time and place. The house was crowded, and the first act succeeding beyond all expectation, the audience were in ecstacy. “She is a jewel!” said M. Dunont, who from a private box, admired the great support. er of his theatre. A roar of applause from the pit delighted at this instant the good man’s ears. Claudine, called before the curtain, was bowing to the audience. But what is this !— Instead of going off, she has just signed to the orchestra to play. She is about to show her gratitude to the audience in verse. M. Du- pont rubs his hands, and repeats twice between his teeth “She is a jewel!’ But with ease and rapidity the band has commenced playing an unknown air, and the next instant M. Du- pont is standing up with a strange and wild look. Hushed and still was every breath ; the audience looked at each other; not a word of | | | stanza is ended; and then a frantic shout, a | communication takes place ; men shudder, or rather tremble with emotion. But the first | Scarcely had he left the house, than a lady, | starting of all to their feet, a wild shriek of de- 'a somewhat lengthened conference with his | chorus, shows how the song ‘had electrified | concierge, ascended to his room, and remained them. | there about an hour.

For two months no trace of the fugitive had been seen--two career support him, and now, doubtless, his mother had found him out, and bad taken this delicate way of detecting his secrecy and pun- ishing his pride. Next morning tbe young man awoke with an appetite unknown to bim of late. The gener. ous food of the previous night had restored his system, and brought him to a natural state.— Luckily, sufficient wine and bread remained to satisly his craving, and then he sat down to think.

But an awful shout, a tremendous clamor, burst on bis ear; a thougand voices roared be- neath his window. The young man starts from his dream; what is this he hears 7 “Aux arms! cilovens, Formez vos battaillions,” &c. “ What is this?” he cries, “My song of the Rhine!” He listens. A beautiful and clear voice is singing: it is still his song, and thea the-ter. rible chorus is: taken up by the people ; and the poor composer’s first wish is gained: he feels that he is famous. But he is dying, choked, stifled with chae. coal. He lies senseless, fainting on his bed; but hope and joy give bim strength. He rises falls rather than darts across the room, his sword in hand; One blow shivers the panes of his window to atoms; the broken glass lets in the coo! sea breeze and the splendid song. Both give life tothe young man; and when Clau. dine entered the room, the composer was able to stand. In ten minutes he had supped in the porter’s lodge, dressed, and come out, to be borne in triumph back to the theatre, where that night he heard, amid renewed applause, his glorious song sung between every act, and each time gaining renewed laurels. Ten days later, Bonget de L’Isle was mar- ried to Claudine, the prima donna of Marseil- les; and the young composer, in gratitude to her and her countrymen. changed the name of his song, and called it by the name it is still known by—“ The Marseillaise !” From the Balt. American. THE KINGDOM OF MOSQUITO. The ‘claim of the British Government toa right of control over the country known as the Mosquito Coast is dated as far back asthe reign of Charles the Se- cond. It is alleged that some time after the conquest of Jamaica; the Mosquito King and his chiefs placed themselves un- der the proteetion of England, and that the Governor of Jamaica in the name of his sovereign accepted this proffer and promised them the royal protection. It is further stated that in 1740 a fort was erected by a British force from Ja- maica and the royal flag hoisted, “thus making a formal publication to the world and to the crown of Spain that the inde- pendent country of the coast was under the direct sovereignty and protection of Great Britain.” This assumption is plac- ed upon the ground that the Mosquito na- tion was never subjugated by Spain ; that it had always retained its independent character; that since the downfall of | Montezuma the tribes under the Mosqui- _to Kings have had a recognised territory | pertaining to themselves, and governed | by laws administered by their own here- | ditary rulers. Now this Mosquito country is included | within the limits of the State of Nicara- | gua, which has never recognised any such Kingdom as that of Mosquito. If the wild | savages inhabiting the Mosquito Coast "have been allowed to roam at will through \that region it has been somewhat after | the fashion of the Seminoles in Florida— _the country not being attractive enough |to draw to itany other occupants. The Government of Nicaragua regards the British intervention and claim in some such light as we would regard a treaty between Victoria and Billy Bowlegs, by | which Billy should andertake to put him- self and his people under the royal pro- tection of England. The occasion which has brought this matter to the notice of our Government is simply this: The State of Nicaragua privilege of opening a communication be- tween the Atlantic and the Pacific by the route of the San Juan river and the Lake Nicaragua. This fact having become known, the British Consul at New York gave notice to the Nicaragua Company sovereignty over the territory through which their projected route lay; that the Mosquito country was under the British protection ; and that he was instructed to inform the Company that “ the‘boundary line of the Mosquito Kingdom touches the St. John’s river at the Mechua rapid, a- bout thirty miles below the Lake Nicara- gua, and that from thence to the mouth of the St. John’s the navigation of that riv- er belongs to Mosquito.” The British Consul goes on further to inform the ner ary | that the port of St. John’s, fiow called Grey Town, at which they have agreed with the Nicaragua Government to build a store, also belongs to Mosquito; that her Majesty’s govern- ment is bound to protect the King of Mos- quito in the exercise of the territorial i which he over Grey Town rer the lower part of the St. John’s r; and that the government of Nica- | “has entered into an agreement ip regard to places where it has no compe- tence.” .

It is to exclude Ame- ricans from the possession of the Nicara: gua route and to hold it in British tands. Since the above article was. written, late and interesting accounts have been received from Nicaragua, which are thus noted in the N. Y. Courier: We have files of the Correo del Isthmo, published at Leon in Nicaragua, down to the 16th of Augast. The arrival of Mr. Squier, as Minister from the United States, seems to have been regarded as an event of remarkable importance. It is herald. ed in all the journals as a new era for Nicaragua, and he entered the city amid discharges of cannon, martial music and the most tumultuous and enthusiastic re- joicings. On being presented to the Pre- sident. Mr. Squier made a long address, tendering his thanks for the warmth of his reception, and assuring him that these sentiments are fully reciprocated, and-that it is the earnest desire of the Government of the United States to cultivate in every way the most cordial relations with the Republic of Nicaragua. He assures him, further, that it shall be his aim to confirm the present harmony between the two Republics,—and “to this end, and to se- cure the permanent welfare of both, it is essential that they should pursue. a sys- tem of policy exclusively American.” He proceeded as follows :— A cardinal principle in this policy is a total exclusion of foreign influence, from the domestic and international affairs of the American Republics. And while we would cultivate friendly intercourse, and promote trade and commerce with all the world, and invite to our shores and to the enjoyment of our institutions the people of all nations, we should proclaim in lan- guage ficm and distinct, that the Amert- can Continent belongs ta Americans, aud is sacred io Republican Freedom. We should also let it be understood, that if foreign powers encroach upon the territo- ries, or invade the rights of any of the American States, they inflict an. ‘injury upon all, which it is the duty and deter- mination of all to see redressed. Senor Director! Providence has pecu- liarly favored the country of which you are the worthy Chief Executive. Ihave passed through your territories, from the Atlantic ocean. along your rivers and magnificent lakes, along the basis of your lofty mountains, and over your broad and beautiful plains, until the wide expanse of the Pacific opens before me, and | can almost hear the sound of its waves as they’ break upon your western sheres. At every step | have been deeply. impressed with the capabilities of the country, and the vastness of its internal resourees. | have seen also, with pleasure. the many evidences of industry and civilizati which exist within your borders, andl have been led to indulge the belief that the time is not far distant, when the com- merce of two hemispheres shall find with- in your territories an easy passage from sea tosea. It is one of the objects of my mission to assist in an enterprise so im- portant to the whole world; an enter- prise, the successful prosecution of which must enable this country to attain a de- gree of prosperity second to that of no other on the globe. By your cordial co-operation, (of which | am well assured) and of that of the citizens of this Repub- lic, I hope soon to have it in my power to announce to my Government that the ini- tiatives to this grand, glorious enterprise have already been taken. He closed by expressing ‘his regret to find the country afflicted by civil commo- tions, and expressed the hopethat al] ber people would unite in an earnest endeav- or to restore peace to the State. The President’s reply to this Address was as follows :—, ° Sir :—The satisfaction which I experi- ence jn having the. honor of receiving for the first. time a representative of the Re- public of North America, is only equal led by the good. desires and high bopes with which Iam animated.

A DAGUERREOTYPE OF TAYLORISM. The following sketch of Taylorism present- ed by the Hon. Edward L. Keyes before the State convention ofthe free democracy of Mass- achsetts, is a life-like portraiture, in which all the features of the Administration are rendered in the vividness and accuracy of sunlight : I tell you Mr. President, that the Taylor par. ty—the administration at Wasbingion—does not even promise any assistance against the extension of slavery, much less against the en- croachments of the slave power. The Wash- ington Republic, the Taylor organ at the seat of government, founded, and to a great extent supported by the patronage of the general go- vernment, says that the whigs everywhere, North as well as South, are in favor of with- drawing the slavery question from the arena of party politics. This is true. But suppose it was noi so. Suppose the Taylor party should put on @ northern whited sepulchre face.— What then? Jt would not deceive us. It has fed us on falsehoods from the commencement. The whole series of ils violated promises now hang like mill stones about bis neck. Gener. al Taylor, we are told, would not seek to influ- ence the action of Congress, yet he had been scarcely a week among the slave-pens of the capital, before his organ was called upon to excuse and justify his interferance. ‘The de- cisions of Congress he would obey in good faith, Yet his minions are at this moment en- gaged in establishing a government in Califor- uia, directly in the face of a vote of Congres, refusing him authority todo so. He would not proscribe, yet the bodies of fallen office-hold- ere proscribed for their political opinions are piled in hetacombs, all around us. In regard to the last, we du not so much complain of the act as of the violation of faith which led to it. Gen. Taylor must proscribe. The Taylor vic- tory without proscription would be no victory. The Pretorian bands, the Swiss mercenaries, the Hessian flies, who dragged him from his camp-stool in Mexico, and floated him on one unbroken tide of falsehood to Washington, must be paid. The laborer is worthy of his hire. The Taylor administration is upheld by the grand central pillar of proscription. Remove that and it would sink —sink hopelessly where no fathom-line could reach it, But, as Lord Chatham once said, in reference to ano- ther administration laboring under embarrass. ments: “It is a condition wherein disgrace is prudence, and wherein it is necessary to be contemptible. It is but prudence in the Tay. lor party to court the disgrace of falsifying all its promises, and whenever it ceases to be con- temptible its entire distinctive character will be gone. , Mr. President, we were accused on every stump during the late campaign, not only of be- ing factionists, but office-seekers, desiring our own honor and profit. Where now are those incorruptible patriots, whose lips, moved by in. aspiration of their own mercenary hearts, gave utterance to these flaming falsehoods? Where are the C. Hammet Nortons, the Lawrences, the Charles W. Denisons, the Hudsons, the Lunts, the Woodmans, and the slaveholding Chandlers? Where is that brace of beauties, who, renouncing all other occupations, devoted themselves day and night—body and soul—to the cause of their suffering country, as secre. taries of the Whig State Committee? Where is that Virginia-born Apollo—and I might add the nine Muses, combined—who on a former occasion, within the time-honored walls of Fa. nevil Hall, and in full view of the portraits of some of the Fathers of the republic, endeavored ip.vain to lisp his uxorious love for our venera- ‘Commonwealth? Where are the hopeful heirs of those two great Worcester houses who became surety for Taylorism in the heart of Massachusetts? Where are those twin che- rubs, who, tired of obscurity, and panting for all opportunity to serve the republic, Jaid all they could of the State of Maine a willing sacri- fice at the feet of the slave-driver? Where, | too, are those craven-hearted men, who origi. nally affecting a disgust for Taylorism turned back to plunge into its filthiest pools? Where | are they? Fattening at the government crib— | haltered at the government stalls, where, I trust, | they may have time and opportunity to con over | some of the contemptuous diatribes which, iu | other days, they put furth against locofoco office | seckers, and learn, in part, even from them. Should ésion * uf se » casratens be some ic and universal recygnition of the W vhich has stood be tween the living and the dead—of the Mercy which has spared us the consummation of a dreadful chastisement? We know that there are men who refuse to acknowledge the hand of God in any great dispensation of His provi- dence—toa whom all the vicissitudes of the ma- terial world are but the casual results of for- tuitous combinations, or the inevitable opera- tions of undetected laws. Fortunately, the majority of mankind have not concurred in oust. ing the Deity from all concern in the world which he has made. Moat men still feel sensible that there is one-Omnicient and All-Powerful who directs and determines the issues of life and death to men and uations. to talk of secondary causes. i solemn « ' he Might Chick bas stood be-+ chooses to employ. Sickness, famine, and death, are warnings by which He reminds man. | kind of their weakness, tbeir helplessness, and | their mortality. Every man feels this in bis | own family, person, and circumstances. The | sickness that hurries a favorite child or an af. | fectionate wife to an early grave is an hum. | bling but effective example of Divine power | and Human weakness. ‘Fhe palsy that pros. trates the strong man in the full flush of health | and vigor—the distress and poverty which stun the rich man in the height of his prosperity ; | | these are but secondary, often tertiary causes ; i they may ofien be traced, step by step, through devious but connected consequences ; but each | man, in his own heart, feels them to be the ine Two years afterwards, the Oregon bill, | dications of a supreme will, and the tokens of | a supreme power. And when these befal in. | dividuals, the prayer is put up in an earnest | confidence that He who has inflicted the wound —though }‘e may not heal it—will yet temper | the infliction with a blessing.” These are the sentiments that might natural. ly be expected from the leading paper of the world, and these are the sentiments that were scouted and derided by the great Organ of the Democracy of the United States. When this country was visited by that fearful scourge, the President of the United States recommended a day of National Prayer and Fasting. Forth. with the Washington Union made an onslaught on the Proclamation as vigorous 2s could have been made, if General Taylor, at the head of an army, had driven the Representatives of the people from the Halls of the Capitol. MINESOTA. Below we give a few extracts from St. Paul | Chronicle, showing the products of that coun. | try : Minesota is a good country. All it wants ‘s improvement. Nature has done her part well; and we know of no place where a man can do better with the same labor and means. Capital can be invested profitably in various ways. The farming business, we should think would be the best at present, as we have as yet but few farmers, and produce is bigh.— This state of things must continue fur some time to come, as the increased demand will keep pace with the supply. ‘The land produces well. We can speak of every thing raised in more southern latitudes in regard to grain and vegetables, except fall wheat, which has not yet been fairly tested. It is the opinion, how- ever, of the best informed on the subject, that it will grow well on what is called barrens or oak openings, but not so well on the prairies. The winters are long, it is true. but the ground is invariably covered with snow six or eight inches deep from December until March. It is cold but dry, and good sleighing during the | winter. Very litthe mud at any time, as the | soil is composed of loam and black sand.— There is less wind here than in Illinois during the winter; so we are informed by those who have been here during the winter, and prefer it to a more southern latitude, where the weath- er is more variable. We have seen corn, oats, potatoes, lurnipa, cabbages, beets, radishes, cucumbers, melons, and other vegetables produced here the pres. ent season that are hard to beat. ‘The oat crop. is much heavier than in Ohio or Indiana, and the corn will not fall far behind. We say, | then, to farmars, come on with a confidence of | success. ‘The money paid for your lands will | yield a interest. Mechanics of all kinds are wanted, especial. | ly house-builders. Enterprising artisans of. small means could here acquire property, and grow up with the country. The lumber business is becoming one of | great importance. It might now be profitably extended, and still more as the population in. | creases. With regard to mercantile pursuits, we think | the prospect not equal to many other avoca, | tions, the capital now employed being equal to Fs. Tt AD; a, ONE. OF OUR“ NORTHERN ; _ “TIES.” ae The New York. Evening Post, in the course of .an.article on the Resolution adopted -by the Mississippi Convention, makes'the following remarks: 5 “ Nearly every Otie of the slave states, on the other hand, have threatened so fre- quently. to abandon the Union, and set up as independent nations, during the past half century, that it is now taken as.a matter of coarse, whenever the southern aE ED eo It is useless T@Presentatives find themselves voting in Secondary caus. 2 Minority, that the Union is to be dis- es are but the instruments which the Deity | solved straightway. “ Of course, nothing of the sort has ev- er occurred, or ever will occur, and the impotence, inconsistency and folly of those who make ‘stch threats, are becoming more conspicgous every time they are re- peated.” It cannot be denied that the South talks too much and does too little. Resolutions, and not executions, seem to bs the order of the day. ‘Thus, in the session of *46-7, the Legislature of Virginia passed Reso- lutions threatening the resistance of Vir- ginia toany bill excluding slavery from the Territories then to be established.— with the Wilmot Proviso in it, became a law. and many of those who voted for the Legislative Resolutionssustained Mr. Polk in making the Oregon billa law. Now, what better encouragement do our North- ern aggressors Want, than such conduct on the part of the very men who are fore- most in bringing forward and sustaining | these menacing resolutions, affords? ]s it surprising that Northern politicians should be willing to sacrifice Southern Rights, when they see Southern politicians, for party purposes, submit to a_sacrifice of Southern Rights? The South should now stop talking, stop threatening, stop re- solving and await the progress of events. The North has time and again been put in possession of the views and determi- nation of the South. If it persists in its aggression on Southern Rights, it does so With its eyes open to the consequences, and the South having given fair warning, if it does not proceed to action, should consult its own dignity by ceasing to threaten.— Petersburg Intelligencer. The Petersburg Intelligencer in the fore- going brief remarks, has expressed our views and feelings on the question of pa- per Resolutions and agitations of the sub- ject of Slavery, and the Rights of the South. The North is well apprised of the fact that the South is resolved to stand by its Rights. Where, then, is the neces- sity for everlastingly calling public meet- ings to pass resolutions setting forth our purposes on this subject, and for menacing the North? It looks very much as if we doubted ourselves, and deemed it necessary to make some demonstration by way of a trial. Like a man, who, though inward- ly well convinced, deems it necessary to hear his own voice proclaim his belief, before he can believe himself. The South, watchful of its interests, has, from time to time, deemed it neces- sary to warn their brethren of the North that it will not submit to those injuries and insults which they seem disposed to inflict upon us. ing our clenched fist at so respectable a distance from our enemies, that we will | frighten them, and send back the blood AL? . ing them ; fee and carat the sociabil | ~— ' which he has made inhbis OPEC itedtienindivallinel — oger gach f B and: anv imen’ would sooner think ofogiving up right to the soil, the. water they. drink,; or The convenience of such heresy have it.in our power to-enjoy, by:the con- struction of a railway thoroughfare.

Suppose some wealiby gentleman, out of mere good will, were to offer to a less able neighbor, to pay two dollars for eve- ry one dollar that he would expend to- wards the improvement of his estate, and that neighbor were to decline the accept- ance of the offer. What would his friends say of him? But suppose, in ad- dition to such a generous offer, the poor man is allowed to pay his one-third of the proposed improvement in the work, and he neglects or declines the opportunity Would any body pity such a man, if, in after years, he were to come to want and suffering by the neglect of that opporto- nity? Would he not richly deserve his fate ? This, then, is just the position of the people of Central North Carolina: The State, in a spirit of generous liberality, offers to pay two million dollars towards building them a rail road, if they will pay one million ; and gives them the pri- vilege of complying with their part of the contract by doing the work—thus actual- ly offering to pay them for work done for themselves. A neglect to improve such an opportunity will be a burning disgrace to us as a people while we have a name and place among the living ; and we ve- rily believe that this liberal offer, if not now accepted, will never be made again. The Raleigh Register.—This paper comes to us this week very considerably enlarged.

The Museom, Apparatus and illustrations for the de- | monstrator departments have recently received many ad- ditions, and are now very complete. ‘Fhe facilities for | Practical Anatomy, are unserpassed. The Clivical ad- | vantages are fully commensurate with the wants of the studen‘, and especially valuable to those preparing for practice at the South. Clinical Lectures are given twice a week inrthe College Infirmary, (which is in immediate contiguity with the College.) and once a week in the Richmond Alms House. In these institutions the dis- eases occurring in Southern practice gre met with, and the student has the most eligible opportunities of becom- ing acquainted with their types and treatment. The fre- quency of Surgical operations before the class, together with the facilities for witnessing the treatment of Surgi- cal cases, renders this one of the best Schools of Practical Surgery.

Every apprentice boy, np matter how assiduous or bow rigorous bis employment, if he cay spend a few minutes daily io useful reading and other modes of im- provemient, ig certain to be a man of fu- ture influence and respectability. That apprentice who seeks most assiduovsly the interest of his employer, promotes most effectually bis own interest, as char acter is the best capital a young man ean have for the commencement of business. Mechanies, like farmers, make sage and enlightned statesmen. Thry are well edacatest in schools of experience’ Who ean be better qualified to make laws for aiding the operation of business than those engaged in these operations? In 1826, a few farmers and mechanics in a small village in Massachusetts, or- ganized a society entitled the “Millbury branch of the American Lyceum ;” its ob- bers, and the “diffusion of knowledge o-. ver the globe.” From that hamble but dignified and republican origin has aris- en the geueral institution of lyeeums now in operation in almost every section of beth continents and in many of the is- lands of the Atlantic and Pacific. Itis evident that if farmers and mechan- ics through the country generally, should enlist in earnest in the great work of self education, they might reform and perpet- uate our republican institutions, and hand down pure Christian republicanism to posterity. Withoat that step, it is equal- ly evident, that though the American Re- publie may retain its name, republicanism especially in America, will soon be known only among the things that were. From Haytit.—The William Putnam, Captain Cook from Aux Cayes, Sept. 21, arrived at this port this morning, with a eargo of logwood.. Captain Cook reports that the jsland remained qaiet, so far, an- der the Imperial sway, though there were those who privately prognosticated that | its illustrious originator would be a head | shorter ere six months were out. Capt. | Cook says that when he visited the island, | twelve years ago, the condition of the | poor black, though then far from comfor- table, was enviable in comparison with their present state ; and that their deteri- ation in civilization has been deplorable. There are comparatively few that serious. ly apply themselves to work for a subsis- tence, the great majority preferring to. beg or steal enough to keep body and | Several of the inhabitants | had obtained patents of nobility from the | new Emperor. Some of the bappy recip- ients were rumored to be guil:less of a whole pair of pantaloons or any appear- | ance of a shirt t: their back. When Capt Cook arrived thers was said not to be more than 40 bbls of flour in the place; bread was also very scarce. The new | crop of coffee came in slowly, and was | exeeedingly hard to be got. This scarci- | | | | { | | i] monopoly law, is very destructive to. American interest upoa the island.— Bos- ton Traveller. WEARING PANTALOONS. Some publishers recommend the wear- ing. of pantaloons by females who have to walk through wet grass. climb fences, or work in the field, as many women do. A Mrs. Swisshelm, who has charge of the | Pittsburg “Visitor,” admits that occasion. | ally pantaloons may be more convenient than skirts; but disapproves of their adop- tion by her sex. She jecularly says:— too humiliating to be met. aad mistaken fora man! We should a. great deal rather be arrested as a. sheep thief. We shall use all our influence to! preserve man’s rights to his pantaloons inviolate. They ought to be his, and his only; for they are too ugly for anybody | else to wear.” Coalition.— Two attempts, both unsuccess. ful, have been made in Massachusetts to unite the Locofoco and Free. Suil parties upon coun. ty nominations. One was made in Norfolk county and one in Middlesex. After much in. iriguing, each party no‘uinated its own men.—= © organs of the two parties are now each aceusing the other of having made the first ad. | vances fo a Proposition of which they are both | ashamed. !

New Jersey, as wellas others of their sat. fering companions, who fled from France, | and sealed their testimony with their blood, on the fatal revocation of the edict of Nantz, Such also were the Puritans of New England. who through the favor. of Divine Providence opposed. though not | a bolder, a more successful resistance to. despotic power. With the courage of | heroes. and the zeaf of martyrs, they sttug- gled forg and obtained tbe charter af jlib- | erty now enjoyed by the British nation. | Even the historian, Hume, whose prepos- | sessions all lay on the side of absolute | monarehy, and who was sufficiently pre-— judiced against the Bible, was constrained to the confession, “ that the precious spark | of liberty had been kindled and was pere- | served by the Puritans alone, and that it | was to this sect the English owe the whole | freedom of their constitation.”. Ht has, been common with a certain class of wri. ters to speak evil of these excellent men. | Those who would not do this ignorantly, | should acquaint themselves with their character as it is exhibited in Bredie’s | British Empire, ‘from the accession of , Charles J.10-the Restoration ; in Vaughn's | Stuart Dynasty ; in Godwin's History of | the Commonwealth, and in Bishop Bur. net's History of his own times. The ge- neral character of the dissenters of the independent denominations in E.:ngland also verifies the scope and spirit of these remarks, On the eelebrated miotion in the House of Lords, for inquiry into the | cause of the death of the devoted mis: , sionary, Smith, in one of the West India Islands, Lord Brougham spoke of the In- | dependents as a “ body of men to be held | in lasting veneration, for the unshaken | fortitude with which, in all times, they have maintained their attachment to civil | liberty ; men, to whose ancestors England | will ever acknowledge a boundless debt. lof gratitude, as long as freedom is prized among us. For they, I fearlessly*confess | it, they, with whatever ridicule some may | visit their excesses, or with whatever | blame others, they, with the zeal of mare tyrs, the purity of early Christians, the skill and courage of the most renowned warriors, obtained for England the free constitution she now enjoys.” | It is worthy of remark, that the Bible. recognises and maintains the only princi- ple on which it is possible for a nation } | ever to enjoy the blessings of civil liberty. | That principle is, that all that is valuable | in the institutions of civil liberty rests on | the character which the people sustain as citizens.

The following appeal of the exiled Governor _ of Hungary tothe sympathy of Lord Palmerston is fraught with an affecting interest, and strong- ly belies the statement that the writer has em- braced the faith of Islam : Wippen, (Turkey,) Sept. 20. Your Excellency is, no doubt, already inform. ed of the fall of my country—unhappy Hungary, assuredly worthy of a better fate. It was not prompted by the spirit of disorder, or the ambitious views of faction; it was nota revolutionary leaning which induced my native country to accept the mortal struggle maintain. ed so gloriously, and brought, by nefarious means, to so unfortunate an end. Hungary has deserved from her kings the his- torical epithet of ** generous nation,” for she ne- _ver allowed herself to be surpassed ir loyalty _and faithful adherence to her sovereigns, by any nation in the world. Nothing but the most revolting treachery, the most tyrannical oppression, and cruelties un- heard of in the words: of history—nothing but the infernal doom of annihilation to her nation. al existence, preserved through a thousand | years, through adversities so numerous, were able to rouse her to oppose the fatal stroke aim- tyrannical assault of the ungrateful Hapsburgs, | or to accept the struggle for life, honor and lib. erty forced upon her. And she hag nobly fought that holy battle, in which with the aid of Al. | mighty God she prevailed against Austria, whom we crushed to the earth, standing firm even when attacked by the Res ian giant, in the consciousness of justice, in a Lane in God, and in our hope, my lord, in the generous feeling of your great and glorious nation, the natural sup- porter of justice and humanity throughout the world. But this is over; what tyranny began has by treachery concluded ; on all sides aban- doned, my poor country bas fallen, not through the overwhelming power of two great empires, | but by the faults, and I may say the treason, of | her own sons. To these untoward events I pray God that my | unbappy country may be the only sacrifice, and | that the true interests of peace, freedom and civi- | lization through the world may not be involved | in our unhappy fate. | Mr. Francis Pulsky. our diplomatic agent in | London, bas received ample information as to _ the cause of this sudden and unlooked for change | in the affairs of Hungary, and is instructed to | communicate it to your Excellency, if you are _ graciously pleased to receive the same. It is | not antipathy to Austria, though so well merited | atthe hands of every Hungarian, but a true con. viction which makes me say that even Austria | has lost far more by her victory, gained through | Russian aid, than she would have lost in meri. _ted defeat through honorable arrangement.— | Fallen from her position of a first-rate power, | she has now forfeited her self-consistency, and | has sunk into the obedient instrument of Rus- _ sian ambition and of Russian command. Russia only has gained at the sanguinary | game; she has extended and strengthened her influence in the East of Europe, and threatens | already, in a fearful manner, with outstretching arms, not only the integrity, but the moral ba. sis of the Turkish empire. May it please you, my Lord, to allow me to | communicate to your Excellency a most revolt. ing condition which the Turkish government, at the suggestion of Russia, is about to impose upon us poor homeless exiles. I, the Governor of unhappy Hungary, after having, I believe, as a good citizen and bonest | man, fulfilled to the Jast my duties to my coun. | try, had no choice left me between the repose 'of the grave and the inexpressible anguish of | expatriation, | Many of my brethren in misfortune had pre- ceded me on the Turkish territory. I followed thither, in the hope that I should be permitted to pass to England, and there, under the protec- tion of the English people—a protection never yet denied to persecuted man—allowed to re- pose for awhile my_wearied head on the hospit- able shores of your bappy Island. But even with these views I would rather have surrendered myself to my deadliest enemy ‘than cause any difficulties to the Turkish Gov. -erninent, whose situation | well knew how to ' appreciate, and, therefore, did not intrude on the ‘Turkish territories without previously inquiring | whether I and my companions in misfortune | would be willingly received and the protection of the Sultan granted us. We received the assurance that we were wel. come guests, and should enjoy the full protec- tion of his Majesty the Padisha, who would ra- ther sacrifice 50,000 men of his own subjects, than allow one hair of our heads to be injured. | | It was only upon this assurance that we pass- ed into the Turkish territory, and according to | the generous assurance, we were received and tended on our journey, received in Widdin as the Sultan’s guests, and treated hospitably, dur- ing four weeks, while waiting from Constanti- nople farther orders as to the continuation of our sad Journey to some distant shore. Even the ambassadors of England and France to whom I ventured in the name of hu- ' manity to appeal, were so kind as to assure me | of their full sympathy. His Majesty, the Sultan, was also gracious as to give a decided negative to the inhuman preteusions of our extradition demanded by Rus- sia and Austria, But a fresh letter from his Majesty the Czar , arrived in Constantinople, and its consequence was the suggestion, sent to us hy aa express messenger of the ‘Turkish government, that the Poles and Hungarians, and in particular myself, Count Casimir Bathiany, Minister of Foreign Affairs of Hungary under my government, and | here,) would be surrendered unless we chose to -adjure the faith of our forefathers in the religion thousand Christians are placed in the terrible | alternative either of facing the scaffold or of "purchasing their lives by abandoning their faith. So low is already fallen the once mighty Tur- ry, i LARGE and near assortment of Coffins always on key, that she can devise no other means lo an. | swer or evade the demands of Russia. . Words fail me to qualify these astonishing ed at her very life, to enable her to repulse the. fallen chief of a generous nation, and hardly have been expected in the 19th centu. ry. neither dubious nor difficult. Governor of Hun- gary, and elected to that high place by the con. fidence of fifteen millions of my countrymen, I pursue. Once Governor of a generous coun. try—TI leave no heritage to my children—they shall, at least, bear an unsullied name. God’s will be done. Iam prepared to die; but as | think this measure dishonorable and injurious to Turkey, whose interests I sincerely have at heart, and as I feel it a duty to save my com. panions in exile, if I can, from a degrading al- ternative, | have replied to the Grand Vizier in a conciliatory manner, and took also the liber- ty to apply to Sir Stratford Canning and Gen- eral Aupich for their generous aid against this tyranic act. In full reliance onthe noble sen. liments and generous principles of your Excel- lency, by which, as well as through your wis- dom, you have secured the esteem of the civil. ized world, I trust to be excused in enclosing copies of my two letters to the Grand Vizier and Sir Stratford Canning. T am informed that the whole matter is a ca- bal against the ministry of Reschid Pacha, whose enemies would wish to force him to our extradition, in order to lower it in public eati- mation and render impossible its continuance in office, It is certain that in the grand coun. cil held on tbe 9ih and 10th of September, af. ler a tumultuous debate, the majority of the tinistry against it. No decision was come to, in consequence cf the altercation which took place ; but, not withstanding, the ministry tho’t ft to make us the revolting suggestion I have named, ‘Phe mode of solving the difficulty would not, [ am convinced, save the ministry, because a protection. only given, in contradiction of the Sultan’s generous feeling, at the price of five thousand Christians abandoning their faith, would be revolting tothe whole Christian world and prove hardly calculated to win sympathies for Turkey, in the event of war with Russia, which, in the opinion of the most experienced ‘Turkish statesmen, is approaching fast. As to my native country, ‘Turkey does, I be- lieve, already feel the loss of the neglected op- portunity of having given to Hungary at least some moral help to enable it to check the ad- vance of the common enemy. But it appears to me that it would be a very ill-advised mode of gaining Hungarian sympathy by sending me to an Austrian scaffold, and forcing my unhap. py companions to aljure their religion, or ac. cept the same alternative. No friends to the Turkish government would spring up from my blood, shed by her broken faith, but many deadly foes. My lord, your heart will, | am sure, excuse my having called your attention to our unhappy fate, since it has now assumed political importance. Abandon. ed in this unsecial land by the whole world, even the first duties of humanity give us no promise of protection, unless, my lord, you and your generous nation come forward to protect us. What steps it may be expedient that you should take, what we have a right to expect from the well-known generosity of England, it would be hardly fitting for me to enter on. I place my own and my companions’ fate in your hands, my lord, and in the name of humanity to throw myself under the protection of Eng. land. Time presses—our doom may in a few days be sealed. I am a man, my Lord, prepared to face the worse ; and I can die with a free look at Heaven, as I have lived. But I am, also my Lord, a husband, son and father ; my poor, truehearted wife, my children, and my noble old mother, are wandering about Hungary.— They will probably soon fall into the bands of feeble women, and with whom the innocence of child-hood is no protection against persecu- tions. 1 conjure your excellency, in the name of the Most High, to put a stop to those cruel. ties by your powerful meditation, and especial}. ly to accord to my wife and children an asylum on the soil of the generous English people. As to my poor, my loved and noble country, must she, too, perish forever?

The Mosquito Quesiton.—The Washington Globe has the following sensible suggestion upon this subject : “ Much better would it be for the U.

The only allusion made in any of the papers received to the difficulty between the French and American Govern. ments is the following, copied from the Paris Presse: “ Some explanation of the affair is ne- cessary. ‘The French Government demanded an indemnity for losses sustained by French subjects during the Mexican war. ‘The de- mand having met with some opposition, the French Government charged our Minister at Washington to announce to the American Go. vernment that the indemnities claimed would be kept out of the annuities, amounting to twen. ty-five millions of francs, yet due from France to the United States. It appears that the let. ter written on the subject by M. Poussin was couched in rather unsuitable language, of which the French Government, without surrendering the claim, has expressed its disapproval. RUSSIA AND TURKEY. The English papers contain many specula- tions and reports concerning the pending de- cision of the Emperor of Russia in regard to the appeal made to him respecting the extra- dition of the Hungarian refugees. Nothing definite, however, can he arrived at concern. ing the issue, until the resolution of the Em. peror and his Imperial Council shall be made known, ‘The Emperor’s reply was expected to reach the Turkish capital about the 10th or 12th of October. The London and Paris Catinets, from the representations oftheir Ministers at Constanti- ers to the Bosphorus and the Harbor of the Golden Horn. Between the extreme of the Black Sea and the Propontis, in the Sea of chor, fully equipped and plentifully provisioned. An armed body of 100,000 troops are assem. bled around the Turkish capital, and are re. viewed daily from daybreak until dusk. A letter dated Constantinople, 25th Septem. ber, states that before entering Turkey official assurances were given Kossuth that he and his fellow-refugees would be welcomed and allow. ed to proceed to any part of the world they might desire. A considerable number of the patriots have been put on board of American eorvettes and a French steamer, destined, it is said, to Greece. An eloquent letter from Kossuth to Lord ee meron is publishad in the English journ- als. By the news fiom Widden it appears that Amillab had been sent to urge the refugees to embrace the Islamite faith, and had been un. successful. Kossuth, Guyon, Zomonski, and others swore that no paper should induce them to apostatize. Bem had no scruples. The most unwelcome feature in the news from Turkey is,that those Paschalis in Europe which are partly Greek and partly Turkish are in a state of ferment in consequence of the threatened rupture between Russia and ‘fur. key. Under the influence of Russian emissaries, members of the Greek Church in these Pas. | chalics have betrayed a serious intention of taking advantage of the present opportunity to get up a revolt. Great activity prevails in sending couriers to and from the principal ports of Europe, but the firmness in the public funds allays any ap. prehension of serious results. A Paris correspodent of the London Times | says that a note has been addressed by the En. glish Government to its Ambassador at St. Pe- tersburgh on the subject of Turkish affairs, couched in firm and moderate terms, and con- taining nothing calculated to pound the suscept- ibilities of Nicholas, but announcing its deter. mination to support the Porte against any exi- gencies that would compromise the dignity of an independent sovereign. Lord Palmerston likewise sent the proper instructions to Sir Stratford Canning, and placed the Mediterra- nean fleet at bis disposal. France bas imitated England in this respect and a perfect unanimity exists between the two Powers. HUNGARY. The Hungarian refugees, the leaders excep- ted, have applied for leave to return to the Aus. trian territory, and their request will be grant. ed. The statement that Gorgey had been shot is contradicted. The previous news relative to the surrender of Comorn is fully confirmed. The partriots who held possession of the fort- ress succeeded in making very favorable terms with Austria. Several Hungarian leaders, be- sides Kossuth’s wife, are kept in cluse confine- ment by the Austrian authorities. PRUSSIA. The Wirtemburg Government has formally intimated to the Prussian Ministry that it will not join the Federal League proposed by Prus- sia, Hanover, and Saxony. Hanover had al- ready announced its intention tg withdraw from this confederation. ITALY, SARDINIA, &c. It is stated that the French Government in. tends to recall a portion of the army in Italy, and that the Spaniards are to enter Rome.

The National Intelligencer of Thurs- day morning resumes its remarks upon ‘the administration of General Taylor, and the opposition which has been recklessly made against it. After referring to the position taken by the opposition press in the late difficulty with Mr. Poussin—we call it a late diffi- |culty, because the French government | having disavowed his conduct, it is to be | spoken of only as among “ the things that | were” —having spoken of this affair, and exposed the factiousness of the opposition whieh was made to the course of the Se- cretary—the Intelligencer refers to the admission of territories as States of the Union. On this important point, it makes the following important and satisfactory revelations, as to which is right in the matter, and as to which the Cabinet de- | Sire : | One of the most interesting questions which have agitated the public mind du- ring the preceding year, arises out of the dismemberment of Mexico and the an- nexation of California and New Mexico tothe United States. That question is, whether slavery shall or shall not be per- mitted to exist within the limits of those | Territories. All efforts to settle this ques- | tion have hitherto proved abortive. The | bill introduced into the Senate during the | session of 1847. ’48, by Mr. Clayton, pass- ed the Senate of the United States by a majority of two thirds of that distinguish- |ed body, but was laid on the table at the _close of the session by a small majority. | That measure, the effect of which was to settle the constitutional question discuss- _ed in Congress, whether slavery existed in |that part of Mexico at that time, and _whether a citizen of the United States had a right to emigrate to that Territory | with his slaves and hold them as such, | was the last effort made in Congress with | any prospect of success to allay the ex- |citement, and put an end to the geogra- phical divisions between the Northern and Southern sections of the Union. But, , | judging from what has been published in | | California, and written from that Territo- ' ty tothe public prints in the United States, | it has been the desire of President Tay- lor to settle this distracting question by | another mode; and that is by the admis- | sion of the Territories as States into the Union, leaving to the people of each the | power to regulate the domestic question |of slavery as to them respectively shall seem fit. The moment California is ad- | | | justification of General Taylor and hisad- slavery. To strate th necessary to show how nu; an attempt on the part of Congee be.

The only period’ when the Wilmot proviso could have been! efficient was at the moment. when*the! treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo passed thé® Senate. It was then moved as an amend: ment to the treaty, and it received but? thirteen votes from the thirty Senators: representing the fifteen non-slavehelding” States of the Union. Yet if, at that mes! ment, the non-slaveholding Senators had’ all voted for it, and adhered to it, and car-: ried it as an amendment to the treaty, at: would have presented a case precisely” like that of the ordinance of 1787: Tivat was a compact between the United States: and the State of Virginin; and it has: been held that in the States embraced within that ordinance slavery could not be introduced by any domestic regulation, because the ordinance wasthe paramount law of the land. If that holding be cor rect, the same result would have followed” in California and New Mexico, had the hebaeas Be been inserted in the trea. ty uadalupe Hidal for treaty, like the Sed ae ee ort een ibev fundamental law of the land. : Bat the’ friends of the proviso suffered that occa: sion to pass away ; and we hold that itis now clearly not within the constitational competency of Congress to regulate: this domestic institutioa within the States of California and New Mexico, however it may possess.that power when legislating for them merely as Territories. That the administration of Gen. Taylor will encourage the admission of Califor- nia and New Mexicoas States, whenever they shall present themselves for admis- sion to Congress with republican consti- tutions and the requisite population, we have every reason to know, from the sources of information to which we hare already referred ; and for the adoption of a measure of policy so manifestly expe- dient, wise, patriotic and just, we think» the President and his Administration wilt be entitled to the thanks of the country. Such a measure will still the voice and? break up the landmarks of the only part- ties in this country which can. be suppos- ed to menace the union of the States— those geographical parties, which Wash- ington denounced in his Farewell Addroesy’ and which, in the judgment of the wisest statesmen of this country, have ever been’ held as most dangcrous to the Constitw tion. The Intelligencer then refers to the question of the repeal by England of her, navigation laws, and the wise course of our government in regard to it,—showing; that Gen. Taylor and his Cabinet have’ done exactly what the law demanded, that they acted at the proper time and in the proper way. The Intelligencer then passes to other important questions, and concludes with these remarks—and thus establishing the complete vindication and é > wr ministration in all that has been done by them, or proposed to be done by them: With Mexico and the South American, Republics, the policy of Gen. Taylor is: palpably that of peace and friendship,— No projects of annexation or conquest are entertained ; none such will be encourag- ed. we feel well assured. No secret ine triguing, no underhanded mancuvsing will be resorted to to bring Canada ee! Caba into this Union. Dhe faith of trea; ties and the true honor of a people con scious of the importance of their great. mission, to recommend and spread by thr influence of their example as well as. by, their precepts the pure doctrines of civil- and religious liberty throughout all cor-, ners of the earth, will be steadily consulte, ed and firmly adhered to. ey Our neighbor of the “ Union” appears’ to be exceedingly distressed to learn what is the policy of the Administration ia re« gard to the British claim to the River Sag Juan de Nicaragua. arising out of the Protectorate of the Mosquito King. Len him be consoled to learn that, should there be‘any negotiations avhatever upon that or any other subject with a foreign Power, mitted as a State, she has the exclusive right to decide alk questions of domestic | policy as she pleases, and Congress will | then have no more power to regulate the | | subject of slavery within her limits. than | | it now has to introduce it into Massachu.- | setts, or to abolish it in Louisiana. Yet Massachuosetts may become a slave State | to-morrow if she chooses, and Louisiana | may at any moment abolish slavery with- _in ber limits, and there is no power in Congress to restrain either of them in their aetion on this sabject. Sappose Cal- | they will be regulated by a sterm sense of jastice to ourselves and justice to sll ofth< ers. Our cotemporary the “ Republie’ appears to us to have pretty well proved, from the poblished letters of Mr. ‘Chat field, and of the Minister of Nicaragua; that the Government of that State had 'te- peatedly applied in vain to Mr. Polk's ad- ministration for aid to resist the British invasion of San Juan, and the unf claims of the savage chief whose pr sions have been abetted by Great Britain, Shoald this turm out to be the fact, as:we t 8 it ———— acting in all respects like an old stager.— “what. a figgre | That simple string. thus tied made hinyat- silty liggre = pip dn a g obedient As ahy one The gentleman who fur- ii oe 9 shrew ie My i . | Polk as the true exemplar and the proper | model fur succeeding Administrations.— | How beautifully consistent will they all | appear, should it hereafter be made. ap- the animals. t that President Polk and Secretary | | achanan not only repudiated in practice | METHODIST PROTESTANT CONFERENCE. the whole Monroe doctrine, but treated | with the most sovereign contempt all the | The Annual Conference of the North appeals of Nicaragua for succor, as her Carolina District Methodist Protestant Supreme Director as asserted !

Albert Jones, who lodged in an ad- joining room, ran out on hearing the report of the pistol, and was shot through the head by the same person and died immediately. The murderer plead insanity, or his friend did for him, but both were arrested, and will undoubtedly be dealt with according to law. We find the following more detailed account of date of S:. Lonis, September 30 :— An awlul tragedy took place on Monday night at Barnum’s Hotel. The particulars are as follows: Some few days since, two young French gentlemen, calling themselves Count Gonzales de Montesqui and Count Raimand de Montesqui, arrived in this city from Chicago, and took apartments at Barnum’s Hotel, repre- senting that they were on @ hunting excursion through the western country. — Nothing particular was observed in their manners until Monday night, when, about 11 o’clock, as Mr. Barnum, the nephew of the pro. prietor of the hotel, and J. J. Macomber, the steward of the house, were retiring to their chamber, one of the Frenchmen came to the window on the gallery at the head of the stairs and tapped lightly. , Mr. Barnum pushed the curtain aside for the purpose of seeing who was on the outside, when the Frenchman fired a gun, a ball from which passed through Mr. Barnum, and two buckshot lodged in the arm of Mr. Macomber. The report of fire-arms alarmed the lodgers of the house, and Mr. Albert Jones, a coach. maker in Third st., who roomed adjoining, rushed to the door, where he received a shot through the head and fell dead. Two gentlemen, who had by this time reach- ed the gallery, were struck with buckshot.— Mr. H. M.* Henderson was wounded in the forehead, and Mr.W. H. Hubble, of Liberty, inthe arm. The assassin was immediately pursued to his room, where, afier a severe struggle, he was arrested. He is the young- er of the two brothers. No cause has been assigned fur the commission of the horrible deed. Both the gentlemen were arrested, and affected to be insane. Mr. Barnum is still living, but is doubtful whether he will recover. It is said that few days since these two men made a similar alt- tack upon a landlord at Alton, Illinois. Mr. ‘T. K. Barnum was still alive on Thurs- day, but wounds are of such a serious nature that it will be impossible for him to recover. _ The trunks of the brothers Montesqui (the assassins) were opened this evening, and let- ters found in them proving them to be Paris- ians, of wealth and family. Splendid equip- ments, and $1,500 in German gold coin were also found in their trunks. The brothers are evidently insane.. ‘They both fired fatal shots. ) , late elections.

He will see that the hopes of the op. position leaders who are the prime instigators and movers of all this noise, must be forever blasted, unless the Administration and its poli- cy be destroyed. This is a circumstance that ought never to be forgotten by a man, who wishes to 'nderstand the present prospect of our affairs in their true light. If he be can. vassing the merits of the Administration with a well-meaning, unaspiring neighbor, he may differ from or agree with that neighbor, as the case may be, knowing that their objects are equally meriterious, and that they have a sin. gle eye to the public welfare. But when he meets with these leaders, and hears them anathematize the Administration and its policy —let him beware! ‘lhe real griefof such men is—not that the Administration and its policy are of a certain character—but that they exist at | all! They will tell him, without doubt, of a * savored of an odor” so distinguished.— | We beg, however, to decline being con- sidered the organ or the mouthpiece even | of that eminent citizen.

It is-with great satisfaction that we give the following articles from the Pe- tersburg Intelligencer, and we commend them fo the earnest consideration of our readers. We have copied the advertise- ment of the President of the Greensville and Roanoke Company declarating a di- vidend of 2} per cent for the half year, that such evidence of the prosperity of the Company may be afforded as cannot be disputed. This dividend is made after all the debt of the Company is paid off. How much is taken for that purpose is not'sta- ted in the newspaper, but it raises the pro- fit above 5 per cent per annum. This Rail Road is a continuation of the Raleigh and Gaston Rail Road of our own State, and lies between the River and the Pe- tersburg Rail Road. It sounds somewhat strange to us who have heard the thou- sand jeremiads over the fate of the North Carolina work, to hear of the Virginia portion of the same work yielding a profit of more than stx per cent, for such we take to be the substance of the informa- tion contained below, and such we have learned from other sources is the fact.— The fact is that this part of the work was once as much d@pressed as our own part of it. But by a vigorous effort on the part of the Company to put the road in repair and to pay off its debt they have succeed- ed in retrieving its fortunes. We do not despair of seeing the Raleigh and Gas- ton Road paying a profit of more than six per cent on the original cost; indeed, if the Central Road is made, of which we cannot doubt, there is no doubt of all this stock appreciating greatly. Petersburg will come in for her share of the advan- tages, and well does she merit them.— She is a gallant city in peace or in war, and we would as soon choose her as an associate in prosperty or in adversity, for weal or for woe, as any in our land. From the Petersburg Intelligencer. GREENSVILLE AND ROANOKE RAIL ROAD COMPANY. We call attention to the avertisement of the semi-annual dividend just declared by this Com. pany, which will be found in another column. We have just seen the‘annual report of the Di- rectors of the Board of Public Works, and from that, besides this dividend, they have surplus profits sufficient to pay off the balance of their debt, which they have directed to be done. When it is recollected that this road. like all the rest in the Commonwealth, was finished and put in operation considerably in debt, and that it has paid it all off out of the profits alone, and commenced making dividends—which we believe but one of our other roads has done— it must not only bea good road, but the President and Directors certainly deserve some credit for their management. We think the success of this road ought to encourage the friends of the Central rail-road in” North Carolina} to™push that work. The Greensville road is but a small and humble link in the great chain of rail-roads of which the Central road is destined to be the most im- portant part, and that isgsurely evidence enough that the latter: will be a profitable investment. N. CAROLINA CENTRAL RAIL ROAD. The Directors 8f Greensville and Roanoke rail road Company have appointed Messrs. E. Wilkins, A. G. Mcllwaine and H. D. Bird, delegates to attend the Convention of the North Carolina Central rail-road to he held in Greensboro’ on the 29th of this month.

At one time he was nearly crippled by being put in| the stocks; he was afterwards thrown) down and fettered ; at another time one of our most experienced horse shoer was un- abled to manage him by the aid of as many hands as could approach. In an attempt to shoe this horse he resisted all efforts, kicked aside/every thing but an savil, and came neap‘killing himself a- gainst that, and finally was brought back to his stable unshod. This was his only defect ;in all other respects he is gentle and perfectly docile, especially in harness, But this defect was just on the eve of con- signing him to the plough, where he might work barefoot, when by mere ac- eident an officer in our service, lately re- turned {rom Mexico was passing and be. | i g mace acquainted with the difficulty, | Tiec applied a complete remedy by the follow. | Wisconsin, to Mr. Benjamin Single.— ing simple process: He took a cord about | : the’ size of a common bed cord put it in | she still enjoys “ Single blessedness.” the month of the horse like a bit, and tied it tightly on the top ofthe animal's head, | | Turnpike thence to Asheville, there will _be need of a few more Hotels in that far off region.

BIRD, President. These disclosures, with the fact lately published in the National Intelligencer, and many of the newspapers of the South, that the Rail Road from Augusta to At- lanta, had declared a dividend of more than seven per cent upon tts whole capital stock of four millions, for the current year, are well calculated toinspire confidence even in the most Emig amongst us.

But they are there whey ed either as an ornament or refreg. shade. Bat chief of all, we were intes, ested by the industrial pursuits of the peo. ple of the county, to examine which, With profit, our brief stay precluded the Poss. bility. We however, visited two Factories,«two Iron Foundries, one Iron Forge, Mr. Mosteller’s Paper Mili, and Mr. Slade’s Grist Mill. There are four Cotton Factories in all, in the county ; and they are all doing well. We Visited those of Mr. Jasper Stowe, and Mr. ay. ner Mottz. The last named has just gong into operation. It is situated about ong mile from the Court House, on the South fork of the Catawba river. The machin. ery is all new, and of the latest improve. ments, and works with a precision ang smoothness but seldom attained. This Factory is driven by two submerged hori. zontal wheels, estimated at 75 horse pow. er. They occupy but small space, ang are capable of driving the Mill with very great speed. These wheels are attract. ing much attention in Lincoln, and are taking the place of other patents. Mr. Stowe’s Factory is on the same stream, four miles south of the village, and a few yards above Mr. Mosteller’s paper mill. Both this, and the paper mill are in brisk operation. It may afford the patrons of Mr. Mosteller’s establishment some pleasure to know that he is now en gaged in making some very important improvements in his mil, by which, when completed, he hopes to be able to makea fairer article of printing and writing pa. per. The improvement is to consist of separate engines and machine for making wrapping paper. Heretofore he has been subject to the necessity of using the same machine for all kinds of paper, which it is found does not work well. At the Iron Foundry of Mr. Charles fair colnton, we found some beautitul stoves of various patterns and sizes. The cast: ing smooth and as perfect is as need be. At the Foundry of the Messrs. Edwards, in the town of Lincolnton, (whose adver- tisement may be seen in another column,) we had the pleasure of seeing @ stove moulded. These gentlemen occupy a high | position in their line of business, the most difficult jobs being executed by them—~ Their work is in very great demand; and to meet their increasing business they ins tend to enlarge their scale of operations. We saw, at this establishment a superb Cooking Stove. The casting is beautifal, and the joints fit as close, as any northera work ever brought to the South. But our friends in Lincoln Jjabor ander cilities and a speedy out-let from home, that we do in Rowan. If Lincoln, under this cmbarrassment, attr&Bts the attention of her neighbors by me and in- dustry, what would she domsbe had the advantage of a Rail Road connecting her at once with the markets of the world, whence she could easily and cheaply ob- ‘tain a full supply of all her wants; and | in which her productions, whether of her numerous and various factories or of hef beautiful farms, could be quickly turned intomoney? That county, as would also many others West of the Yadkin, (as al are rich in resources,) would soon attract the attention of the whole country, asd would in a few years become the scene of busiest life. There ig_scarcely such another country on the face of the Globe; | and with the advantages? which the Cen tral and Columbia Rail Roads will g'¥ it, it is destined to become an Eden. The people of Lincoln are not insens ble either of their present embarrassmen'® or of the benefits they will derive from the completion of the works of interns improvement alluded to above; and tbe | they have, thus far, done nothing tow* | advanging the interest of the Ceol Road, fet, we were assured, that the ; intelligent portion of the people of county were anxious to see it prt and would cheerfully pay the addit ‘i taxes which the State’s subscription “ impose upon them.

Metcor.—A large meteor, travelling | from West to East, was seen on Wednes~ day afternoon of the 31st ult., by some) hands at work in a field near Davidson College, who also heard two or three ex- | plosions in the air, and the loud and long continued rumbling noise which followed them. This noise was also heard at Con- cord, by some travellers near Charlotte, at Shelby, and thirty miles South of this piace in Cabarrus, where, we learn, a fragment of stone 18 pounds in weight, | came tothe earth. It first struck a log, near which a small boy was standing at the time; and cutting its way through was buried in the earth to the depth of its own diameter. Two other pieces are said to have fallen about nine miles further South. A gentleman has promised to bring us the 18 pound piece, when, pro- bably we shall say something more. The Mountain Banner —This excellent little paper, after a sleep of some weeks | in length—a sort of Rip Van Winkle slum- ber—has revived ; and, if possible, is more cheerful than ever. From what we can gather of the cause of its suspension of life, we are led to suppose it was for the want ofmore liberal patronage. But its friends, the editor states, commenced dosing it with mint drops, instead of a certain pat- tent nostrum called fair promises, and un- der the new treatment it soon began to kick, antif it at last regained its legs. May it live long and do well. Masonic. On Thursday last, E. Myers, W. M., of Fulton Lodge, No. 99, opened a new Lodge at Gold Hill, un- der the name of Palestine.

The candid and generally well-inform: |ed Washington correspondent of the Bal- more Sun, “Jon,” gives in a recent letter the annexed matters of fact and opinion: Until the 4th of March, 1829, the Fed- eral offices were, as a general rule, be-. stowed upon competent persons, who, as. functions, were retained in office. A new | rule was then. adopted, and the offices | were distributed among the friends of the incoming Administration. General Jack- son undertook, at first, toremove all those | persons from office who, in office, had used | their influence in elections. But, after. that he would have to remove as many of | his own friends as of his opponents. therefore removed his enemies, and ap.- | pointed his friends. This has become the | regular course of action ever since, and | will continue to be so until the end of the Government, no matter what vague pledg- _es and professions may be made to the contrary by any Presidential candidate, or his friends for him. 1 have no doubt that there are to be a _number of removals, in this city and else- where, before Congress meets. The Ad ministration finds it necessary to surround itself with its friends. If the French difficulty passed over, and the Mosquito question should follow it to merited oblivion, we shall have am- _ple cause for celebrating, with great gout, the thanksgiving, which has been assign- ed in most of the States and in this Dis- trict for next month. In regard tothe Nicaragua canal, there _can be no doubt that such an arrange- ment will be made between Great Brit- ain, the United States, and Nicaragua, that it may be speedily completed and | made free to the commerce of the whole world. | Great Britain exhibits no disposition to | encroach upon the American continents, them; but, on the contrary, she is ready, | as soon as she can, with a good grace, to | get rid of her possessions in North Amer- ica. She is ready to concede indepen- _dence to the Canadas, and aid them in /establishing an independent confedera- tion. As to the Hudson’s Bay possessions, they are offered to us dog cheap, and no- thing but a slight matter of etiquette pre- | vented the British Government from giv- ing her permission to the proposed sale, and transferring to the United States her right of eminent domain. It is only ne- cessary, in order to consummate that pur- | chase, that Congress should, by a simple resolution, invite the offer. So I have been informed by those who have consul- ted some of the members of the British Ministry on the subject. I notice that members of Congress tak- ing houses here engage them till then. The House will be so tied up by fac- | tions that it cannot proceed very rapidly in business, It is not difficult, in advance, to estimate the whole amount of impor- | tant business that will bedone. It issafe _to say that no act tending to strengthen _or weaken any party system can become /alaw. There will probably be a concur- rence of all parties in a liberal system of | harbor improvements and the promotion _of internal navigation.

Fraternizing.—The Union -at “Washington grows grandiloquent. in describing! the seene which occurred in Mexico upon the leave taking of Mr. Clifford, the late United States Minister. After telling the public that he had succeeded in “ winning the hearts of the Mexicans,” the Union produces a column of eulogistie com- ' mendation, in which the incident at Mr. Clif. ford’s departure are paraded with the true court Joarnal precision. Among others, it is noticed that President Herrera called in person upun the ex-embassador, to express his compliments after which, “ rising, he warmly embraced Mr. Clifford and bid bim adieu.” This affection- ate demonstration between two able-bodied gentlemen must have been very interesting, and we can well appreciate the raptures of the Union, for we suppose when M. Poussin was about leaving Washington, the senior editor fraternized after a similar fashion. The en. tenie cordiale is now evidently complete be- tween the Democracy of Mexico and France and the party which is led by their “ sole or- gan” at Washington. We congratulate all | parties to this alliance, and can readily believe | that the vocabulary of slang which the Uinon exhausted of yore against * Mexican” Whigs _ will now be modified to suit the nature of the happy understanding which has been produced | by the intervention of Mr. Polk’s embassador. | Itis possible for our ingenuity to conceive that if this Romeo and juliet scene between Herrera and Clifford bad occurred with any gentleman of affectionate sensibilities who hap- pened to be called a Whig, or a ‘Taylor Re- publican. or something of that kind, then the virtuous indignation of the whole Locofoco press would have been at once excited, and the country pronounced on the eve of ruin by this act of palpable treason.—[ Phil. Amer. The Numbers of “ A Slaveholder.”—The North Carolina Argus of the 26th inst. says: —lIs the Standard really in earnest when it asks why the Whig papers refuse to publish the numbers of “ A Slaveholder,” appearing in its columns, addressed to Mr. Badger? certainly desire to say nothing to wound the feelings of “* A Slaveholder,” whom we re ly do not know, and whom we should not men- tion, were it not for the incessant interrogato. ries of the Standard: but the idea that any Whig paper is afratd to publish those produc. lions, is, simply, ridiculous. Mr. Badger made a speech on Clayton’s Compromise Bill, prov- ing, beyond all question, to every legal mind, that the effect of that bill would be the exclu. sion of slavery from New Mexico and Califor. nia. “A Slaveholder” attacks this speech, and about as succesfully, we think, as a little bull would attempt to butt the Railroad Car off the track. Of the profundity of his law knowledge he furnishes an instance in the opening of his fourth epistle, where he attributes to the “ law. yers” the use of an “affirmative pregnant.” Will the Standard be so kind as to inform our ignorance what “lawyers” are in the habit of using this phrase? We incline to the opinion, “with the lights now before us,” that it isa clear case of Bastardy, and that the learned Theban, * A Slaveholder,” will have to father the issue himself, or throw it on the parish— unless the Editor will take the responsibility off his hands. DU A distressing accident happened to Mr. Davie Oliphant at the steamboat wharf on Thursday morning last. He placed his foot in the coil of a rope which attached a tow boat to the steamer, and /a sudden straightening of the rope from a movement of the boat, cut his leg off below the knee. So quickly and clean was this done, that the severed limb drop. ed into the water. The spectators were much shocked. Mr. Oliphant is deserv- ing of much sympathy.—Fay.

Fellow mortal faint and low, Children may sit down and weep, But man must up and do. In thy mind are idly lying, Powers that all thy foes outnumber ; For a purpose ever dying, Thou canst rouse them from their slumber. Rouse thee, then, begin to-day, Man who rules or man who delves— Upward look, but ever say, God help those who help themselves. The shoulder to the wheel ! For there’s work enough to do, For the country, for thyself, For the child that loveth you, Nought the drooping heart obtaineth ; All the active spirit gaineth ; In his trial strength he reapeth, Runs the race another creepeth. Rouse thee, then, beg' : to-day, Man, who rules or man who delves— Upward look, but ever say, God help those who help themselves : CHARLESTON COTTON MARKET. selling at 103 a 10% for middling fair ; fair 11; and ful- | ly fair to good fair 114 a 11 4c.

The grand idea of associated action in this class be gins tobe developed among many wha have theetrue glory of the State and the happy progress of the race at heart.

Closing of the Dam at the Néw Cityi—The erent anticipated with so much interest by all iia this’ Vieinity, and by multitudes in distant | portions of this and the adjoining States took | place yesterday.. ‘The dam was closed at twen- |ty-two minutes belore one o’clock in the af. | ternoon. | There were forty-four gates, each eighteen | feet long and sixteen feet wide. Alternate sec. | tions of these were closed at a given signal by . meaus of levers. ‘They wentdown with an al. ; most simultaneous plunge. Very soon the oth. ers followed in the same order, and the Can | necticut river was declared dammed. The | water rose more slowly than was generally an. | ticipated. At half-past two the water was ris. | ing at the rate of one foot in forty minutes, | Almost immediately after the closing of the | gates the rocky bed of the river below was Irfi dry, and the workmen on the dam, with many of the spectators, rushed in to make discoveries. Many of the tools lost in the water while eon- structing the dam were found, aod some that were quile valuable. ‘The fish, eels, &c. that were left without a sufficient covering of the watery element, were taken out by the hand in| quantities. The dam is upon an average thirty feet in | height from the bed ofthe river; in some places | more and in some places less, according to the | inequalities in the river’s bed. A rough cal. | culation of the amount of lateral pressure which | the dam will be obliged to sustaingives nearly twenty nine million pounds, while the vertical | pressure is about three times that smount.— | ‘There have been used in its construction near. | ly four million feet of lumber. In the construction uf the abutment, guard- | gates, and lockwall, at the head of the canal, there have been used 10.000 perches of stone, | The measure is by what is termed “ railroad | perch,” each perch containing twenty-five cu- bic feet. ‘The dam is 800 feet long, and the | slope from the top to the bed of the river 90° i feet. The dam leaks a little, and but a little | —not so much as the one which went off last year. ‘This is considered no fault, as a suff. cient leak is necessary to keep all the timbers of the dam bathed in water, to prevent rot. If it does not leak enough for this, it will be made | to teak more by boaring holes through it. | The magnitude of the work, and the im- | mense results which will ultimately flow from | it, constitute the peculiar charm which is at. | tached to it by many minds. ‘The structure, | however, considered alone, is a legitimate ob. | Ject of interest and admiration. ‘There has not heen a stone placed nor a timber laid bat what has been adjusted upon scientific principles, aud the faithful and critieal manner in which it has been reared to its completion is and will be a lasting credit to the engineer, Mr. Anderson aod the contractors and mechanics under him.

Ata late meeting of the Ethnological | Society in New York last week, an inter- esting letter was read from Hon. E. G. | Squier, our Charge des Affairs at Guata-. _mala, who has already commenced his antiquarian researches,and forwarded sev- ‘eral curious relics to Washington. He gives an account of the recent discovery of an ancient city buried beneath the forest about 150 miles from Leon. which far surpasses the architectural wonders of Palenque. There are evidently hidden cities upon the western continent far ex- ceeding in size and the grandeur of their monuinents the revelaiions of Herculane um and Pompeii. We anticipate, says the Mirror, the most astounding discove- | ries from the ethnological enthusiasm of | Mr. Squier. The Indians every where re- ceive him with the utmost kindness, and their chiefs regard him as a heaven sent minister to protect them from their Span- ish oppressors. They are glad to render him every possible assistance in his inves- _ tigations, on the condition that he bring ‘no Spaniard into their villages, nor communicate to the priests the secrets they disclose. There was also read aca- _rious letter addressed to the President of the United States from the last of the Pe- ruvian Incas, accompanied by a letter | from Samuel G. Arnold. of Providence.— |Mr. Arnold, who has recently returned | from South Amesica, met with the ven- erable Inca, who is ninety years of age. He gives a very graphic account of his appearance. and relates the affecting sto- ty of the wrongs of his royal race. He | found the princely old priest sitting in the | Temple of the Sun, engaged in reading | Tasso—a scene for a painter and a theme for a novelist. | | { | Execution.—Gritfin Stewart, a free ne- | §ro convicted of the murder of Penny An- | derson, a white woman with whom he | cohabited in this county, and who had his | trial removed to Nash county, was hung | at Nashville on Friday of last week. He _made no confessions of his guilt, in this | case and several others imputed to him— | but warned bis colored friends from being | tempted by the devil as he bad been.

Carolina, September 1, 1849. ; The Pantographic Method of Teaching, which origi- nated in this Institution, is eminently calculated to make learning a pleasant employment to young ladies. The great variety of interesting and amusing illustrations made use of, lends interest to many studies which are usually regarded by young persons as dry and insipid. “ Sounds which address the ear are lost, and die In one short hour ; but that which strikes the eye, Lives Jong upon the mind ; the faithful sight Engraves the knowledge with a beam of light.” Young ladies are taught in small classes, and the gradual development of the youthful inind is watched with much care, and throughout the course, the studies of the pupil are carefully adapted to her mental capaci- ty and progress ; but the peculiarity of this method of teaching is in the happy manner in which the different branches of study are illustrated. . Pupils will be received at a very early age; and the Course of Instruction will be far more thorough and complete than that of any school conducted in the or- dinary way can be. Terms and Sessions.

This great enterprise is now out of the hope and predict that it is but the harbin- ger to a road from its terminus to the mountains, through Asheville, to Knox- ville, Tennessee. We expect to be able to show in our next, that such a road is perfectly feasible, desirable, necessary, and that such a one in less than ten years, will be built, and that if our own citizens do not do it that foreigners will, and that if we do not they ought. © This is an age of improvement, and rail roads are the chief means of moving every successful enterprise, and giving permanency to the business interests of our whole communi- ty wherever they stretch their gigantic We are so confident that North sion extend a charter to the mountains from Salisbury, that we are opposed to making one foot of the turnpike from this the rail road be built in ten years it will enough to keep it in repair. We must open a communication by rail road direct. ly from one extremity of our State to the other.

True she lies away on one side of the State, but does not Charles. ton, Savannah,. Baltimore, Philadelphia, N. York anf*Boston? Every one of them.

York, acapital lecture was delivered on the subject of the *Men- tal Elevation of the American Farmer,” by W. R. Wat ace Esq., some of the lead- ing peints of which are thus noted in the Tribune: Mr. W. commenced by alluding to the power and predominance of Commerce— “King Commerce.” As an evidence of his power, when religion and the school- master had failed in opening China to the christian world, he stalked over the obe- dient billows, and the wall of China, ven- erable with the memories of 3,000 years, tumbled down hefore @ chest of Opium!

Ag- riculture, from its very natural advanta- ges, was prone to be supine, unambitious, unprogressive. The speaker inveighed against Agricultural inertness. Harmony required that no one great branch of In- dustry should outshine another in mental- ity ; butif any branch was to predominate, it should be Agriculture. We must look to the rural walk for the largest amount of political and domestic virtue. But vir- tue, to be efficient, must act intelligently. Mr. W. spoke of the interest of the pock- et as a potent argument to offer the farmer why he should cultivate his mind. A- mong many other sciences absolutely necessary to the farmer, the speaker dwelt on Chemistry. He also alluded to the great activity of the manufacturing spirit. A single machine had been made to perform the work of 400 men. The farmer could also subdue brute matter— could teach it to work for bim—could make it drag him up to power and opu- lence, as the steeds of the Sun wheeled his chariot up to the peribelion of day.— The triumph over matter would give an immense quantity of time to be devoted to mental improvement. The speaker re- gretted the absence of a great Agricultu- ral College, where the sciences necessary tothe farmer could be theoretically as well as practically taught. But the defi- ciency was somewhat supplied by firstrate Agricultural newspapers. It could safely be said that no farmer can constantly read Mr. Skinner’s publications alone, and re- main an uninformed man. Science has been greatly simplified by Genius stepping up from the pedestal of Pedantry to the mountain of Common Sense. The farmer, now, who neglected the acquirement of knowledge, could not stand guiltless. God gave him brains before he gave him hands. Mr. Wallace enlarged on the glorious position of an educated farmer. He was a man that had stood in the shadow of Deity. The farms of the United States ought to produce the leading natural phi- losophers in the world. See how many eminent professional men, amid all their glory, yearned towards Agriculture. No man could discourse more profoundly on) New- England manures than Daniel Web- ster.

Among our own citizens, Max- well, when crowned with the honors of the profession, could be seen at the early grey of morning, with plow in hand, prac- tically studying agriculture. O, farmers ofAmerica! exclaimed the speaker, in con- clusion, now, when the world of mind is in such brilliant motion—when the Arts are making such an unparalleled progress “when your calling is the most beautiful and desirable on earth, how can you slum- “Labor is worship ;” but to worship well we must labor intelligently. RAIL ROAD TO THE PACIFIC. Great eclat was given to the late con- vention at St. Louis, by the participation of many distinguished citizens. Many who did not attend expressed their appro- bation of the project proposed, through let- ters addressed to the Committee of the Convention. Among these are Lewis Cass, John C. Calhoun, M. Van Buren, Wm. H. Seaward, John A. Dix and Pres- ton King. Influence of Newspapers.—Small is the sum that is required to patronise a news- paper, and amply rewarded is its patron. the gazette which he takes. It is next I care not how humble and unpretending to impossible to fill a sheet with printed matter without putting into it something that is wor:b the subscription price. Ev- ery parent whose son is away: from him at school should supply him with a news- paper.

Fredrick Walpole, R. N.”: During our stay [at Monterey, Califor- nia] Captain Fremont and his party ar- rived, preceded by another troop of Amer- ican horse. It was a party of seamen mounted, who were used to scour the cean- try to keep off marauders. Their efficacy as sailors, they being nearly all English, we will not question. As eavelry, they would probably have been singularly de- structive toeach other. Their leader how- ever, was a fine fellow, and one of the best rifle shots in the States. Fremont’s party naturally excited curjosity. Here were true trappers, the class that produ- ced the herves of Fennimore Cooper's best works. These men passed years in the wilds, living on their own resources—they were acurious set. A vast cloud of dust appeared first, and thence inlong file emer- ged this wildest wild party. Fremont rode ahead, a spare active looking man, with such an eye! He was dressed in a blouse and leggins, and wore a felt hat. After him came five Delaware Indians, who were his body-guard, and have been with him through all his wanderings ; they had charge of two baggage horses. The rest, many of them blacker than the Indians, rode two and two, the rifle held by one hand across the pummel of the saddle. Thirty-nine of them are bis reg- ular men, the rest are loafers picked up lately ; his original men are principally back-woodsmen from the State of Ten- nessee. and the banks of the upper waters of the Missouri. He has with him one or two who enjoy high reputation in the prairies. Kit Carson is as well known there asthe Duke is in Europe. The dress of these men was principally a long loose coat of deer skin, tied with thongs in front; trowsers of the same, of their own manufacture,—which, when wei through, they take off, scrape well with a knife, and put on as soon as dry; the saddles were of various fashions, though these and a large drove of borses, and a brass field-gun, were things they had picked up about California. The rest of the gang were a rough set; and perhaps their private, public and moral characters had better not be too closely examined. They are allowed no liquor—tea and su- gar only; this, no doubt, has much to do with their good conduct, and the discipline too, is very strict. They were marched up to an open space on the hills near the town. under some large firs, and there took up their quarters in messes of six or seven, in the open air. The Indians lay beside their leader. One man, a doctor six feet six inches high was an odd look- ing fellow; may Bnever come under his hands NEW TANNERY. Our enterprisicg townsmen and mer- chants. Messrs. Rankin & Pullian, have now nearly completed in the west end of the village, a large and well constructed Tan-yard. The building is two stories high, 18 by 34 feet in length with a wing 20 by 30 feet, covering the bark house, mill, &c. &c. Every thing seems to be constructed for durability, convenience and the dispatch of business. They have a workman, and are buying hides, hauling bark, and doing every thing possible to mend and strengthen the soles of their customers. We know of no country where this business could be done more success- fully than this, if we only had the facili- ties of cheap and speedy transportation. We have the bark, operatives, provisions and materials, but we lack a cheap mode of transportation, and we must have it.

We clip the following paragraph {from the Columbus Time¥s _“We believe the great heart of the North is right and sound, bat that it has permitted its pulsations of justice and fra- ternity to be stifled by the noisy. active, militant, political factions which have seized pon the abolition crosade. as a ready instrument of ambitious agitation. A great motive— such an one as the safe- ty of the Union—will rouse that heart, tort writhes and bounds of the pigmy party tyranny which misdirects its energies and keeps it in bondage. The union of the Soath can alone furnish this great motive. Let that be given, and at once. the nu- cleus is supplied for a powerful, over- whelming, national, union party at the North, to strangle the Abolition Hydra which threatens interests so vast and so dear as those involved in the American Union. This motive can never be sup. plied while the South is divided against itself, and one half of it rejoices at every successive triumph of a Northern politi- cian, although steeped to the eyelids in Abolition iniquity.” Why isthe “South divided against it- self” in any degree? Has not the Dem- ocratic party moved heaven and earth to make political capital out of the slavery question? Even Judge Hitt, a native South Carolinian, whose every pulse and feeling are truly Southron, owes his re- cent defeat, it is claimed by his opponents, to his refusal to answer questions in re- ference to this subject. Have not plat- form-mongers tasked their wits to the at- most to contrive new issues, in the pro- gress of which they might gain an advan- tage of the Whigs? Is not a new organ- ization of the Senate districts advocated solely on the ground that it will weaken and injure one half of the citizens of Georgia, and increase the power and strengthen the ascendancy of the other half? Who will so stultify himself as to pretend that this is the way to unite both political parties on any question? Now that the Whig candidate for Governor has been defeated by the adroit perversion of a purely sectional matter, and the Whigs placed in minority in both branches of the Legislature, the Times thus appeals to them to forget the wrongs which they have suffered and are threatened with at the hands of unprincipled opponents : “ We hope the Whigs of Georgia, will go to Milledgeville, prepared and deter- mined to meet this great question in the spirit of Southern men, and not rest the great hopes of the country on a “ master- ly inactivity” and a fatal trust in the pro- tection of the present administration.” That is to say, the “ Whigs” should withdraw all “trust” and confidence in such men as Zachary Taylor, George W. Crawford, Reverdy Johnson, John M. Clayton, and William B. Preston, and con- fide alone in the united Democracy of Cass, Van Buren, and their Southern al- lies! This is modest advice to say the the least of it. For the Whigs to “ trust the present Administration” will be “ fa- tal” to the pure, unselfish, patriotic, Cass men of the South. This is much to be regretted, seeing they have done so much, recently, toconciliate the Whigs, by treat- ing their representatives in Congress, their friends, the President and his Cabinet, and their candidates for State offices, with commendable fairness and courtesy ! The Washington Union says: “No matter what face the Administration may put on, we will oppose it to the bitter end ;” and this reckless “ bitter” sentiment is approv- ed and applauded by Southern journals, which preach harmony and union to the |“ Whigs of Georgia,” but not to those im- | maculate politicians, Georgia Democrats. No one can more desire than we do, to see a union of all citizens and parties, not only in Georgia but in every slaveholding State, to resist all encroachments on their equal rights and privileges, come they trom what source they may. Nothing is more needed at this time than a union of South for the sake of the South. But this auspicious result can never be attained, by denouncing in advance, a Southern President ; and “no matter what face his ‘administration may put on, opposing it to ‘the bitter end.” The intensity of parti- 'zan feeling must be ab«ted before any- thing like mutual confidence can exist.— | When the Democracy of the South shall ‘cease to pervert the relation of master and slave to political and selfish purposes, to the incalculable injury of the slavehold- |ing interest of fifteen States, then aa | slavery ptfjpdices and gbolitionism at | | WP TF begin 348) and soon die | from the lack of aliment.

Powhatan’s untes tored mind attributed to magic this mysterious art, which thus could “make paper talk.”— Such would be the eGects on our minds uaen- lightened by civilization and art.

This discovery was in the 15th cenlury.—» Printing was introduced into England, the na- tion from which we derived it, by William Caxton, in 1474, He consulted the workmen, who were taught at Mentz, and caused a: fotint of letters to be cast, and at Weatminter, ¥# England, be printed, in 1447 «* The Gamevof Chess.” This is the first book ever primed in England. It was dedicated to the Duke of Clarence, brother of Edward IV. ; The early newspapers printed in the United States were on a half sheet of pot paper, somes times in folio, sometimes in quarto. At thie time (1704) there were but four or five posty offices in America. The first newspaper-pub« lished in North America was the “ Bosteg News Letter,” in 1704, by Bartholomew Green, son of Samuel, who was printer to Harvard College. The proprietor for the firet eighteen years was John Campbell a Scotchman postmaster ofthe town.

Befers: that time the necessary public printing -was done at Charleston. ‘There were only two presses in North Carolina before 1775. The first press was established by James Davis at Newbern, and his paper appeared in: December 1755, by name of The North Cae. olina Gazette,”’ with “ freshest advices, foreign and dumestick.” It was published weekly om ‘Thursdays, on a sheet of pot size folio, and afe terwards on a half sheet. Its imprint, froma copy before the writer, was: “ Newhbern, printed by James Davis, at the printing office, on Front street, where all per- sons may be supplied with this paper at sixteew shillings per annuum. And where advertise- ments of a moderate length are inserted for three shillings the first week, and two for eve- ry week afier.” It continued about six years.

Toots, Esq., a gen- | tleman of acknowledged ability as a wri- ter. It is democratic in polities ; but if it | retains its present character, the Whig | party have nothing to fear from it, as it | bas in regard to nearly all the other sheets | of the same party. For whilst it is deci- dediy Democratic, it is liberal and just to its opponents ; giving no countenance to the unreasonable and nonsensical fault- finding against the Administration in whieh the majority of its party editors take so much delight. An honorable op- ponent is al ways to be preferred to those of afoonirary character; and assuch itis with pleasure we recognize the Aurora, so far ag its character is developed to us. This paper is printed on a very hand- some size sheet with new type, and is, therefore, pleasing to the eye. The mat- ter found in its columns is selected and prepared with care. It is issued twice a week, at 84 per annum in advance. A Claim on Portugal.—It is rumored, inthe papers, that our Government has futructed our Envoy at the Court of Por- agal to press a claim for indemnification f the¥destruction of an American pri- veer under the batteries of Fayal, du- ting the War of 1812, between the Uni- States and England.

The following resolutions, reported through Lieuten- ant Maury, from the Committee on Resolutions, were unauimonsly adopted : 1. Resolved, That it is the opinion of this Convention that it is the duty of the General Government to Provide, at an early period, for the construction of a Nationa! Rail Road from the Mississippi River to the Pacific Ocean. 2. Resolved, That, to facilitate the accomplishment of this object, im the opinion of this Convention, it is the daty of the General Government to constitute an effi- cient and competent eorps of Engineers to make com- plete explorations and surveys of all the routes that have been designated by public opinion as proper for the line of this road. . 3. Resolved, That, after the Proper surveys shall have been completed, in the opinion of this Convention. it is the duty of the General Government to lecate the line of the road; and, in making the location that route should be selected which is easiest of access, best calculated to subserve the purposes of national defence, most conven- and as far as practicable, central to the United States, and upon which a rail road can be constructed on the cheapest and best terms. 4. Resolved, That to carry into effect the object of the first resolution, in the opinion of this Convention, the public lands of the United States, constitute a legitimate and proper fund. 5. Resolved, That after the construction of the Na- tional Rai] Way Trunk from the Mississippi river to the Pacific ocean, in the opinion of this Convention, it is the duty of Congress to aid, by the appropriation of the Na- tional domain, in the construction of such branch rail roads as will best connect it with the Northern Lakes, and the great thoroughfares leading to the Atlantic Ocean ; and with such other points, on the Mississippi river, as will conneet it with the lines of improvement completed or in the course of construction—and also to to suitable points, on the Gulf of Mexico, either east or west of the Mississippi river. 6. Resolved, That in the opinion of this Convention, it is the duty of the Generat Government to provide, un- der liberal conditions, for a connection between the main trunk of this National rail road and all rail roads now Union. Resolved, That, as an important means, &@ necessary preliminary to the construction of a rail road, it is the first duty of Congress to take the Necessary measures for the establishment of military posts, from the western confines of our western States, along the Southern boun- daries of our Republic and our Indian frontier to the Pa- cific ocean—that these posts should be established, in all proper places, not far distant from each other, and that by sales and the grant of pre-emption rights of the public lands to actual settlers, and by such other encouragement as may be deemed necessary, so that, by these means, ample opportunities may be afford- ed to our engineers for the immediate survey and recon; noisance of our possessions, lying between our western and southwestern States and the Pacific ocean, and 80, also, that, by these means, safe, practical roads, one or roore, with facilities of travel, may be immediately form- ed for our citizens and for the transportation of troops and munitions of war, &c., across our own territories, from the Atlantic to the Pacific shores, and in order that our Government may fulfil its recent treaty stipulationg with Mexico. Your committee would further report that, in their opinion, it would be highly advantageous to the com- merce of this country, and add greatly to its political power and influence, if an immediate connection, by rail road or canal, could be obtained between the Gulf of Mexico and the Pacific ocean. Many projects of great. er or less promise, for the purpose of constructing the ne- cessary works to complete such a communieation have been of late agitated, and without, in the present state of our knowledge upon the subject, pretending to decide upon their relative merits, they beg leave to recommend the adoption of the following resolution : Resolved, That, while the contemplated rail road across the continent is being constructed, a present com- munication, between the states of this Union and the American and Asiatic coasts of the Pacific ocean, is of vast importance to every portion of this country ; that such communication can be obtained by ship eanal or rail read across the Isthmus of Tehuantepec, Nicaragua or Panama, or aeross them all, which rail roads or ca- nals may be constructed by private enterprise, and this convention, in order to encourage the undertaking and completion of such works, recommend the passage’ of a law, by the Congress of the United States, directing the Post Master General, Secretary of War, and Sec- retary of the Navy, to make annual contracts for the transportation of the mails, troops, and military and naval stores of the government, from the Atlantic to the Paci- fic posts of the country, by the shortest, speediest and cheapest route.

An adjourned meeting of the citizens on the subject of the Central Road took place last night at Masonic Hall. The Report of the Committee showed that 189 shares, or $18,900 had been subscribed.— The Committee were requested to contin- ue their exertions, and it is confidently ex- pected that much more will be sabscribed. It will be admitted that this is doing very well in the short space allowed the Committee to collect subscriptions. The amount will, doubtless, be increased ; as we said on a previous occasion, the peo- ple of this region will not be found slack in any good work. Our friends abroad, while looking at this subscription, will take into consideration the heavy works already on hand, in which our people have largely participated, and also the unpre- cedented depression under which business here has for some time labored. We be- lieve the opinion we expressed some time ago, that all the works authorized by the last Legislature will be completed, is rap- idly in progress of verification. The day of brilliant glory is opening upon us—not with a clondless sky to be sure but with an aspect that gives cheerful promise and lively hopes. We will give a more complete report of the meeting on Saturday.— Wilmington Commercial.

[Eliza Cook's Journal. WIVES AND CARPETS. In the selection of a carpet you should always prefer one with small figures, for the two webs of which the fabric consists are always more closely interwoven than in-carpeting where large figures are wrought. ~~ There is a good deal of true philosophy in this, that will apply to matters widely different from the selection of tarpets. ; A man commits a sad mistake when he selects a wife that cuts too large a figure on the great green carpet.of life, in other words, makes much display. The attrae- tions fade out—the web of life becomes worn and weak and all the gay figures that seemed so charming at first, disappeared like summer flowers in autumn. Many a man has made flimsey linsey woolsey of him- self; by striving to weave too large a figure, and finds himself worn out, used up, and like an old carpet hang- ing on the feuce, before he has lived out half of his al- lotted days of usefulness. Many a man wears out like a carpet that is never swept, by the dust of indolence ; like that same carpet, he needs shaking or whipping—he needs activity— something to think of—something to do. Look out then for large figures, and there are those now stowed away in the garret of the world, awaiting there final consignment to the cellar, who, had they practised this bit of carpet philosophy, would to-day be firm and bright as Brussels fresh from the loom and ev- | ery body exclaiming,— It is wonderful how well they do!

As a last resort, the brave Ferguson forms his entire force into columns, to cut his way out of that awful circle of fire. sword wildly on high. ‘ Forward—charge !’—The next instant he is a corpse. A tifle ball from the muzzle wreath. ed with snowy paper, has gone through his heart. The British, panic-stricken, throw down their arms and ery for quarter. A num- ber equal to the whole American army are pri- soners. And now the old man raises a hoarse yell, that sounds above the paean-shont of nine hundred. strong throats—‘ King’s Mountain is ours for ever!’ Thus terminated gloriously an engagement in many respects the most important waged du- ring the war. It struck the savages of the fron- tier with terror from Obio to Florida. It laid in the dust Britain’s grand scheme of Tory co- operation. Lord Cornwallis heard of it, paused in his triumphant career, and ordered a hasty retreat to Winnsborough eighty miles in his rear. Marion and Sumter heard of it, and re- newed their deadly amhuscades. The battle-shock was over, the battle-smoke drified away on the wind, and the sun shone brightly on the dead and dying, on broken arms and bleeding bosoms, when a jury-martial sat to decide a question of avenging justice. Ten atrocious Tories were summarily arraigned, to answer the charge of fifty murders. Among these pale wretches pleading for mercy, Tom Bell, the Hercules, in red hair, was most abject of all; and so earnest were bis prayers and promises for the future, that he was on the point of being acquitted when an old man, with streaming white locks, broke through the circle of guards and confronted the shivering culprit. ‘Do you remember French Broad, and the 16tb of August ?” S ‘Save me from him!’ cried-the Tory cap- lain, stretching forth his chained hands for help to the astonished bystanders. | Have you forgotten Mary Copeland?’ ask. ved the old man grinning his toothless gums till the blood ran ont on the foam of his lips. | [did not kill ber—oh! you cannot say I killed her!’ exclaimed the coward, falling on | his knees, and seeking to embrace the feet of | his enemy. . *No—but you forced her to kill herself as the sole means of salvation from foul dishonor !’ ‘Oh! [did not intend to harm her,’ persiat- ed the false Tory, writhing in the dust like the meaneat of reptiles. : | §'Phen rise and swear it,’ answered the oth- er with a grim smile. The wretch sprung up, and pledged oaths wild enough to wake the dead. ‘Do yousee this dagger?’ inquired the aged pre pointing ata silver hilt glittering in his | t. | *Mercy! mercy!’ shrieked the murderer. | he eyes of the man shot sparks of living _ fire, as he said, in a hoarse, hissing whisper— ‘This dagger, on the 16th of August, was in the heart ef an angel. But now it is yours, ' devil,’ he added, striking home the sharp steel | with a motion prompt and powerful like light. ning. There was a moan, and thena gurgle anid then a gush of warm blood ; and the victim lay _& corpse at the avenger’s feet. | Five minotes afterwards ten others—equal traitors and homicides—hung dangling from the swinging limbs of oak and pine trees, ther - ‘on the summit of Kings’s Mountain, which no king should again call his own, any more for ever. | From the Southern Planter.

Whilst such a state of things remains, we must rest contented with a mixed or mongrel breed. It may be admitted; but with some exceptions, that very few men pay so little attention to the breed of horses as the agricullurists themselves. A very common practice exists with the farmer should he happen to breed what he considers a fine animal, to-allow him to serve mares in his own vicinity, when only two or three years old, and ata low charge, thus laying a sure road for a pony progeny ; and if no jadgment has been paid to the discernment whether he is free from and hereditary or constitutioal de- fect, disease, as a consequence, may be en. tailed or any other imperfection or bad quality. This is, therefore, a practice highly reprehen sible. “ Stallions frequently travel from one part of the country to snother, stopping at the market town. Bills are placarded, stating their pedi- | gree and good qualities, to entice owners -of | mares to have them. served. Occasionally, | entire horses may be found in this way, pos- sessing plenty of bone, muscle and conforma. — tion; but the great evil is, farmers pay too lit. Je attention to the mare ; it is proverbial with many, ‘if she is worth nothing else, s: e will do to breed from.’ ‘This very bad systen. rust be eradicated in connexion with breeding ; both animals must be perfect, as far as our jtitfizment can discover, or else, as I have sta- \éd before, our breed of horses will never be generally good, But a mongrel race will con- tinue, and degeneration progress, if farmers or breeders do rot pay more attention than has of late been done to the hereditary transmiss- ion of disease. No one can expect a sound or a healthy animal from either sire or dam, if judgment with reference to form, constitution and freedom from hereditary taint has not been exercised. [t i, therefore, not only incumbent on the Royal Agricultural Society, but upon every other form which premiums are awarded for horses, to have such competent judges as are able to discever any hereditary tendency to disease or defect in the animal capable of being transmitted to the offspring. If any dis. ease or imperfectioncan be detected, such horse or horses should then be declared unfit for the propagation of stock. ’ + . * More than once I have witnessed awards of premiums adjudicated by incompetent per- sons, to animals laboring uader consti'utional { vidtechneibvery ret ntlypn od basting @ indwied ge 3df) the \ workmen. | STILLS X THN-WARE. reopennershy of Witherspoon, Pritchard &:Ce.

Se From the Preebyterian- The,Scotch-Irish,of North’Carolina, Scoth-Irish designates that part of ae aeaiae community which has cla raes jo this country from the northern counties 0 Jreland. The name is peculiar to this country. In Ereland these emigrants are aad he Seotchmen—for their een ae nee ee i vith that of the Irish. c 2 mada ey are both of Scotch ancestry— isc try throt ne came to this coun oe other came directly from Scotland. Be. fore the Revolution, two waves of these emi- ls met in North Carolina. One came hy Oe way of Charleston, South Carolina, up the came from Pennsylvania, through the Valley, gad the Piedmont country in Virginia. In N. ebielly in the counties of Granville, Orange, Caswell, Alamance, Rockingham, Guilford, Rowan, Cabarrus, Mecklenburg, and Lincoln. Although we must lament that many individu. als have departed from the faith and discipline of their fathers, yet the large majority of the Scotch-Irish of North Carolina still adheres to that Church for which their fathers prayed and fought and died. The experiment iu self-government of these United States is not yet finished. jitieal cauldron are constantly pouring elements as diverse as the features, language, and cos. tumes of those who bring them. Were the faith and practice of the Sctch-[rish more widely disseminated, no lover of this country need to fear the result of our experiment. For, without disparagement to any of their worthy co-labour. ers in the Revolution, it may be safely assert. ed that the elements which the Scotch-Irish have introduced into our social compact, are among its most healthful ingredients, In civ- il matters they claimed for the governed the the inculcated subinission to the established authority when properly exercised, and they demanded the abrogation of all privileges to classes in society, whether civil or religious. In religion they taught that it must be pure and undefiled before God and man; they asserted that the Bible alone should have supremacy over the conscience, and that each man had @ right to worship God as his conscience di- rected. How early and how earnest the Scotch- Irish of North Carolina were in the cause of the colonies, history has fully set forth. ‘They freely contributed their fortunes, and fearlessly sacrificed their lives to maintain unstained their most sacred honour. Oftheir anxiety to secure secure among themselves the blessings of sanc. twary and school-house, Dr. Foote has record. ed many interesting proofs in his valuable Sketches of North Carolina. But history has hitherto wanted the means for accurately de- termining the share which the Scotch-Irish have bad in diffusing and settling the princi. les on which the State system of North Caro- lina baa been founded. {t is now setled beyond a doubt that the Scotch-Irish of North Carolina did set forth a Declaration of Independence in May, 1775.— But we must oot regard this declaration asa sudden burst of enthusiasm, called forth by the news from Boston and Lexington. ‘The colo. aists of North Carolina, especially those in Western Carolina, had for many years suffer. td great burdens from unjust laws unrighteous. ly executed. In 1771 the Regulators were gatemding fur what are now very plain rights. ere were unruly spirits among them who dagraced their cause ; but very many sympa. bized who could not then go the length of open Westance, and were frightened by the excess- of the Jewder sort of the Regulators. But ‘When the time came, the Scotch Irish showed fat they too had severely felt the burdens Which the Regulators had attempted too soon throw off. Laws which were passed at their mggestion immediately after the general De. earationof Independence prove that they “did Wl co.operate as a body with the Regulators fests and remonstrances. tothe death. Besides the matter of taxes and *ppression, against which also they firmly and With dignity protested until they saw that for. rance was no longera virtue. The colony @North Carolina had been laid off in parish- “and each parish was expected to maintain ‘ny thing but an abomination. How very Wjust it was in North Carolina may be infer. ted from the fact, that the Episcopal Church WNorth Carolina was not able to support a Prelate until 1323. ‘The following papers will Wthe temper with which, for a while, the ch Irish bore this excessive tyranny.

C., THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 22, 1849. = vis’s Revisal, printed at Newbern in 1773, eon. tains all the laws here complained of. The papers, which are now printed for the first time are without date. William Tryon, to whom they were addressed, was the Royal Governor of North Carolina from 1765 to 1771. “ To his Excellency, William Tryon, Governor and Commander-in-Chief in and over this, his Majes- ty’s Province of North Carolina: The Honoara- ble his Majesty’s Council, and gentlemen of the General Assembly of this Province, the petition of the inhabitants of Tryon county, (now Lincoln, Rutherford, &c,) being of the Presbyterian de- nomination, humbly showeth that we, your peti- tioners, humbly conceive that we have been much aggrieved for some years last past by an act con- cerning marriage. | “TI. By the preamble, wherin it is set forth that the ministers of our profession, not consid. ering themselves included, and restrained by |the laws heretofore made and provided, did | fraudulently and unlawfully celebrate marriage without license or publication of bans. ‘This charge, we do aver, is wrongfully thrown upon us. We are sorry that a report, so scandalous | to us, and so injurious to that reputation we de- | sire always to maintain, has ever been once believed. | our brethren of the Church of England, re. | himself under the penalty of a total suspension | act our ministers are forbid to marry with right. ful publication of bans; a privilege which a million of our fellow professors in America now enjoy; whose ancestors have enjoyed ever since they settled on this continent. Neither was it ever taken from any dissenters in Amer- ica until it was take from us by this act, of which we now complain. We pray and be- seech you, therefore, to restore us back to the enjoyment of this privilege, in common with our neighbouring provinces. Let us not, we entreat, be the only persons to whom it is de- nied.” However creditable this paper is to the good sense and good temper of the Scotch Irish of North Carolina, the following document is a still more noble monument of the intelligence, fearlessness, faithfulness, and liberality of our Presbyterian forefathers. Itis in the handwrit. ing of Waightstill Avery, who was a member of the Charlotte town Convention in 1775—a man whose advices was much sought, and o. pinions much respected in the times of the Re- volution. In 1777 he was appointed the first Attorney General of North Carolina. “ To his Excellency, William Tryon, Esq, Captain- Generai, Governor, and Commander-in-Chief in and over the Province of North Carolina, é&c.: to the Honourable. his Majesty’s Council: to the Honourable Speaker and Gentlemen of the House of Burgesses for said Province : “The petition and addresses of the inhabi- tants of Mecklenburg county, of the Presbyte- rian denomination, humbly showeth, ‘That we claim it as our incontestable right to petition the Legislature of this Province for redress of grievanccs. “We therefore beg leave freely to represent our case, trusting to your candour and upright- ness to redress our grievances, maintain our rights and privileges, and prevent all infrac- tions of the same. |‘ We would inform you that there are about | one thousand freemen of us, who hold to the Established Church of Scotland, able to bear arms, within the county of Mecklenburg. ‘* We declare ourselves faithful and loyal sub. jects, firmly attached to his present majesty and | the government, ready to defend his majesty’s dominions from hostile invasions. “We declare ourselves zealous to support | government and uphold the courts of justice, that the law may have its free course and ope- ration, And we appeal to his Excellency, the Governor, how ready and cheerful we were to | support government in time of insurrection. ‘“* We declare ourselves entitled to have and | enjoy all the rights and privileges of his ma- Jesty’s subjects in Great Britain, to wit, Eng. land and Scotland. | * * * * * * “When settled under assurances of liberty _and the quiet and peaceable enjoyment of reli- ' gious rites, secured to us by law, by the char. 'ter, and by his majesty’s instructions to the lords propietors, we think it a burthensome tax- ation to support an Episcopal clergy. ‘We would by no means cast reflections up- on our sister Church of England. No; let them worship God according to their concsien- ces, without molestation from us. We wish on our part, that we may worship God accord. ing to our.consciences, without molestation | from them. “ We think it as reasonable that those who hold to the Episcopal Church should pay their clergy without our assistance, as that we who hold to the Church of Scotland should pay our clergy without their assistance. ‘* We now support two old settled Presbyte. rian ministers in this parish: we therefore think it a grievance that the present law makes us liable to be stil] further burthened with tax. es to support an Episcopal clergyman, especial- ly as not one twentieth part of the inhabitants are of that profession. “We think that were there an Episcopal clergymen in this parish his labours would be useless. “We think ourselves aggrieved by the ex. orbitant power of the vestry to tax us with the /enormous sum of ten shillings each taxable, which is more than double the charge of Go- vernment, and that for purposes to which we ought by no means to pay «any thing by com. pulsion. “ We therefore think that, under the present law, the very being of a vestry in this parish | will ever be a great grievance. *° * * * * * | ‘We conceive ourselves highly injured and | aggrieved by the marriage act, and preamble | whereof scandalizes the Presbyterian clergy, rongfully charges them with celebrating the rites of marriage without license or publi- | cation of bans. | We think it a gricvance that this act im. poses heavy penalties on our clergy, for marry. ing afier publication of bans by them made, in their own religious assemblies, where the par. ties are best kndwn. “ We declare that the marriage act obstructs the natural and inalienable right of marriage. “We pray that to these several grievances you will, in your wisdom and goodness, grant that redress which we ask in this legal and constitutional method. “ And we assure your Excellency, &c. * * that we shall ever be more ready to support that Government under which we find most liberty.”’ A copy of this petition was circulated among the inhabitants of Tryon county, who speak of themselves as being “ several hundred freemen —Presbyterians, Dutch Lutherans, and Dutch Calvinists”—and as supporting “*two settled ministers—one Presbyterian and one Dutch.” It may be true that agitations for toleration and freedom of conscience almost always pro- ceed from the oppressed classes, and that his- tory exhibits them as peculiar to no one body of Christians. But the Scotch Irish of North Carolina have the merit of insisting on the same doctrines when, relieved from oppression they had become influencial in the State, and have attempted some retaliation for their past grievances. Happily, the papers which prove this fact are still extant, although but lately discovered. Some extracts from them will be given hereafter. But had we no other memo. rials of the principles and proceedings of our forefathers than those given above, our Presby. terian has abundant reasons to rejoice in them. The clear perception and manly declaration of rights—the dignified tone of the remonstrance against their violation, and the catholicity of the petition, are worthy of great praise, and per- haps are unsurpassed by any contemporaneous paper. C. P. * From Willmer and Smith’s European Times. It is painful to write about Ireland. The mere mention of the name of that unhappy country excites feelings of pain and disap- pointment. ‘The lull in the storm of Irish pol. itics which preceded the Queen’s visit, in- duced us to believe that a new era was draw. ing. The old spirit of faction had happily dis. appeared, and the rush of strangers to see the land and explore its beauties—to spend their money, and possibly to invest it permantly in the soil—were cheering sights. The an. nouncement of the Queen’s intention to build a palace, and have a temporary residence in the vicinity of Dublin, imparted hope to many who had despaired. Alas! the calm only pre. ceded the storm. ‘The old bickerings have recommenced. Blood has been again shed in the terrible collision between landlord and ten. ant. Murder rears its crimson head. Orange. men and Repealers are once more glaring at each other with the malice of fiends ; and the chronic disorders of the country appear inca- pable of cure, or even of mitigation. The feebleness of Mr. John O’Connell would provoke contempt, it did not produce mischief. He is trying his hand weakly at the old, worn. out, game of agitation. In the days of his fath- er it required a high order of talent, and all the resources of a popular leader, to keep the ball moving. The juggle was too transparent to deceive ; but wit, and humour, and sometimes eloquence, were brought in to aid the delusion and men laughed at the ability with which the legerdemain was practised. But things are changed. The curtain has fallen. The chief actor is gathered to his fathers. The racy comedian who could always command a roar by his hu- mour, or a smile by his pleasantry, is succeed. ed by a dull dog, the walking gentleman of the farce, who supposes that every one is pleased with his person, while in reality people curl their lips with disdain at his vanity. ‘The heir to Denmark’s throne exclaimed in the bitter. ness of his soul—‘ No more like my father, than I to Hercules!” The rebuke finds an echo, in Conciliation-hall. Every reader, how. ever far removed irom the banks of the Liffery, is painfully impressed with the fact talent is not hereditary. To any imaginative people like the Irish, nothing surely can appear sv pitiful as the so. lemn palaver, “tedious as a twice-told tale,” which their seif constituted leader utters weekly in the old rendezvous of agitation. Thoughts that breathe and words that burn,” are the means by which an earnest spirit moves the masses. Mr. John O'Connell has not a scin- tella of genius. Not a spark of the heavenly fire exits in his composition. He is essential. ly a thing of clay— of the earth, earthy ;” and the dross of the pence appears to be the only power he is capable of appreciating. In this | respect Mr. Duffy and the Young Irelanders stand out in refreshing contrast. Whatever | may be their errors—and they have committed | many—the intellect and enthusiam by which | they are animated command respect, however much the misapplication may induce sorrow.

For all practical purposes the change could not produce evil, and would, we think, be attended with good. From the Baltimore Clipper. THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES. No man can expect to enjoy the distin- guished honor of occupying the Presiden- tial chair, and be exempt from the attacks of political opponents; but every Presi. dent has a right to expect that he will be treated with the courtesy due toa gentle- man. In controverting his policy, or can- vassing the tendency of his measures, it is by no means necessary or just to assail his motives, or to abuse him individually. Free discussions of measures may be ser- viceable to the country, and would not be objected to by any reasonable man ; indeed such discussions necessarily result from the nature of our institutions, and whilst conducted with moderation, and not in a factious spirit of opposition, must prove to be of salutary influence, by be- getting inquiry, investigation, and reflec- tion. But, unfortunately, politicians, and particularly some of the political editors, do not confine their comments on men and measures within the limits of moderation and justice ; for they assail the public of. ficer even before he has had the opportu- nity to prescribe his course of policy, and denounce him as unfit for office before he has had time to develop his qualifications. And they even proceed further, and charge him with being dishonest, though his in- tegrity may have been universally admit- ted. Such is the warfare which has been carried on against General Taylor. From the moment of his inauguration to the present time he has been the object of in- cessant abuse and ridicule. And in this kind of warfare the Union has been par- ticularly conspicuous, It has been untir- ing in its assaults upon the President ;— and its columns teem daily with language against him which should not be applied to any man deemed by a majority of the people of the United States worthy to pre- side as the Chief Magistrate of the Union. That paper of yesterday says “he had only to be an honest man, to gain both the applause and the affections of his country- men.” In what respect has General Tay- lor exhibited himself otherwise than as an honest man? It is easy to see that the ire of the Union has been excited against him by the fact that some of its political friends have been removed from office ; but does this constitute a sufficient ground stands the list of public officers at the pre- sent moment. If each party bas a fair portion, then the removals which have been made, however repugnant they may be to individual feeling and interest, are not unjust in a national point of view. It was expected that public offices would be | more equally distribnted between the two parties ; and if General Taylor bas been guilty of no graver offence than undertak- ing this equalization, he will be exonera- | ted from censure by the American people, | notwithstanding the harsh and coarse de- | nunciations of the Union, and kindred character. The Union exhibits too much irritation | and impatience in its hostility to the Pre- | sident. Itseemsto be fearful that the forthcoming message may be popular with the people, and therefore endeavors | to produce an excited state of feeling that will not permit it to have an impar- tial consideration ; but it says “the Ame- rican people are both intelligent and hon- est,” and hence there is the less fear that they can be influenced to do injustice to the President by the imflammatory ap- pealsof that paper. Should the president. fail to administer the Government as be- | utility of the vice-regal court. In every re- | spect the abolition of the office would prove a | blessing. ‘The Castle of Dublin, in years past, | comes the head of a free people; should he permit the national honor to be tarnish- ed, or the national interests to be sacrific- ed, then we shall be prepared to join the Union in pronouncing him unqualitied for his station. DONT TATTLE. for charging him with dishonesty? How | _~s ted, is far from being agreeable. If this class of beings haye any business of their own we hope tifat out of shame for them- selves, and for the credit of their relatives, they will attendto it.—Albany Freeholder. From the National Intelligencer. We are indebted to the publishers, Messrs. Gilbert & Kemble, for a file of the newspaper called the “ Alta Califor- nia,” published at San Francisco, up to the Ist of October, which puts us in pos- session of authentic intelligence from that quarter a month later than our previous advices. The news of most consequence is that which relates to the progress of the Peo- ple’s Convention for framing a Constitu- tion for rue Strate or Cauirornta. This Convention met at Monterey, in pusuance of Gen. Riley’s proclamation, on Satur- day, the Ist of September, but, as a ma- jority of the Delegates were not then in attendance, an adjournment took place to the following Monday. On that day the Convention proceeded to business by pas- sing upon the credentials of members, &c. On the next day the organization of the body was completed by the election of the following officers: Robert Semple, President; William G. Marcy, Secretary ; Caleb Lyons and J. B. Field, Assistant Secretaries; W. E. P. Hartnell and Henrique Henriques, Trans- lators; J. S. Houston, Sergeant-at-Arms; and Cornelius Sullivan, Doorkeeper. Gen. Riley being in attendance, he was invited to take an appropriate seat on the floor of the Convention. The following are the names of the members admitted to seats in the Conven- tion: From San Diego.—Miguel de Pedrore- na and Henry Hill. From Los Angeles.—S. C. Foster, J. A. Carillo, M. Dominguez, A. Stearns, and Hugo Reid. Fran Santa Barbara.—P. Laguerraand Jacinto Rodrigues. From San Luis Obispo.—Henry A. Tefft and J. M. Cabarruvia. From Monterey.—H. W. Halleck, Tho- mas O. Larkin, C. T.

The boundary, judicial, and education< | al questions were not decided at the date of the latest advices from Monterey. We add the recommendations of the select committee, to which the subject was re- ferred, as regards the boundaries of the proposed State : “ Your committee are of the opinion that the present boundary of California comprehends a tract of country entirely too extensive for one State, and that there are various other forcible reasons why that boundary should not be adopted by this Convention. The area of the tract of country included within the present boan- dary is estimated to be four hundred and forty eight thousand six hundred and nine- ty-one (448,691) square miles, which is nearly equal to that of all the non-slaves holding States of the Union, and which, deducting the area of Iowa, is greater than that of all the residue of the non< slaveholding States. “Your committee are of the opinion that a country like this, extending along the coast nearly a thousand miles, and more than twelve hundred miles into the interior, cannot be conveniently or fairly represented in a State Legislature here, especially as the greater part of the intes involuntary servitude, unless for the pun- Some few of the members | What need it concern you if John to be voted upon by the people, but the | Snooks is courting Molly Thom They are undoubtedly rational beings, | w pson ?— proposition was not urgently pressed, and | as rejected almost unanimously. A | rior is entirely cut off from the country on coast by the Sierra Nevada, a continuous chain of lofty mountains which is covered within snow, and is wholly impassable nearly nine months in the year. “ Your committee are also of the opin- ion that the country included within the boundary of this territory, as now estab. lished, must ultimately be divided and sub-divided into several different States, which divisions and sub-divisions (should the present boundary be adopted) would be very likely to divest the State of Calj- fornia of a valuable portion of her sea- coast. Your committee are therefore of the opinion that a boundary should now be fixed upon which will entirely precludo the possibility of sach a result in future. Another important reason, which bas aided very much in producing the conclus sion to which your committee have arrive ed, is predicated upon the fact that there is already a vast settlement in a remote portion of this territory, the population of which is variously estimated to be from fifteen to thirty thousand human souls, [the Mormons,) who are not represented in the Convention, and who, perhaps, do not desire to be represented here. The religious peculiarity of these people, and the very fact of their having selected that remote and isolated region as a perma, nent home, would seem to warrant the conclusion that they desire no direct po- litical connexion with us, and it is i- ble and highly probable, in the opinion of your committee, that measures have been or are now being taken by these people for the establishment of a territorial gov- ernment for themselves. “For the above and foregoing reasons your committee are of opinion that the following should constitute the boundary of the State of California, viz: “Commencing at the northeast corner of the State, at the intersection of the par- allel of latitude forty two degrees north with the parallel of longitude one bun- dred and sixteen west ; thence south, up- on and along that parallel of longitude, te the boundary line between the U.

With regard to the Central Road, the fact that such men as Ex-Govs. Graham and More- head, and other equally distinguished citizens of North Carolina are found thus exerting their talents and efforts, fur the accomplishment of that important enterprise, satisfies us that all is going right.

J. M. MOREHEAD, Ch’n Ex. Com. Thanksgiving Day was duly observed by the congregations of the several Churches in this Town. With a single exception our merchants closed their stores, and there. was’a pretty general suspension of all business. The attend- ance on Divine service was larger than many persons expected ; and we doubt not the observance of the day, so fitting under the circumstancesof the times, will be productive of much good. Thankful- ness and praise to Almighty God for his great mercies, is the most reasonable ser- vice his dependent creatures can render ; and it is a service which He graciously accepts. It is profitable for man to recur often to the source of his life, and all. its blessings. He must inevitably grow wis- er and better in proportion’ as he is faith- ful with himself, and sincere in the hom- age which he offers. 1H Dive De 82, at Albemarle. : The following are the officers for the present quarter, viz Jos.

The attitude assumed by this country and France has placed the aulocrat on the horns ofa dilemma. He had no alternative but to lower his tone or bear hissabre. He must either fight England and France, or he must cease to hplty the Turks. He has preferred the more pacific course. We honor his re- solve'and admire his prudence—a quality which even despots know how to respect. A 1 Paris, on the 25th Oct., it was report- ed that the French Ambassador at St. Pe- tersburgh has forwarded despatches to his Government, intimating a change in the hostile determination of Rassia in her disagreement with Turkey, upon the ex- tradition of the Hungarian Patriots. So far from forcing matters to extremities, Russia expresses herself anxious to settle the difficulty quietly provided no warlike interference was threatened on the part of England. The same rumor was pre- valent at Vienna on the 21st Oct. AFFAIRS IN TURKEY.

The Emperor has granted the officers of the Peterwardian garrison, who surren- dered unconditionally, the same _privile. ges which were awarded to the officers of the garrison of Comorn.

Dembinski’s sister and brother-in-lawwere both arrested at Cracow on the 17th.— They had never interfered in politics. It is said that Haynau has resigned his post in consequence of the Emperor bav- ing ordered executions to be stopped. He complained bitterly of his authority being disregarded by those who presumed to shoot Count Batthiany—it haying been his express orders that he should be hang- ed. The latest accounts from Pesth state that arrests were still going on. The Prussian Convention between the Courts of Prussia and Austria has been ra- tified at Vienna. It is said that 160 Hungarian officers are expected to ship from Bremen to New Orleans. It is estimated that 4000 lives were lost in the Schleswig insurrection. General Klapka and other Hungarian | officers have arrived at Bremen, and were received with the most welcome honors. SPAIN. General Valdalouga has published a proclamation raising the state of seige under which that Province has been laid for some time. The principal topic was the Ministerial crisis. Owing to some | intrigues, the precise nature of which has ‘/not been ascertained, this kingdom has been the scene of a succession of Ministe- rial changes in a shorter space of time than could have possibly occurred in any other European nation. The old Cabinet was dismissed and a new Cabinet formed. Subsequent accounts by telegraph state that the Narvarez Ministry was rein stated on the 2lst, and had been again dismissed.

Reis Effendi regards the affair as set- tled.” General Lamoriciere is to be recalled from Russia and given an imprortant post. TURKEY. There is nothing of special interest from Turkey. The Polish and Hungarian refugees have been provided with new quarters. ~ Kos. suth and the leaders remain at Widden until measures are taken for their ultimate libera- tion. Sir Stratford Canning has sent passports to General Gtiyon, the Irish Hungarian officer, and other British subjects who had been in the service of Hungary. SPAIN. The new American Minister has formally presented himself, and with much tact and skill disclaimed, in the name of his President, the doings of the party who proposed to seize upon Cuba.

Spirit of the Age. PRIVATE ACCOUNTS FROM CALIFOR- NIA. The New York Express of Monday evening says : — “ We have had an opportunity of con- versing with a gentleman residing at Worces- ter, (Mass.) who arrived from California in the Empire City steamer. He gives a melancho- ly picture of affairs in California, and predicts that the next steamer will bring intelligence of a general smash up there. Property, he says is tumbling down, wages are reduced, and hun- dreda of persons are begging for chances to work their passage home in the steamers, guar. antying, at the same time, to pay their passage afier their arrival here. ‘This gentleman also tells us that miners returning from the mines to San Francisco have ceased to bring gold, and now bring instead, sore heads, sore legs, and ruined constitutions ; according to his account, many persons have perished at the mines and upon the road for lack of food and raiment.— But we cannot give hia report more in detail : it is a most melancholy one; and, he says, what makes affairs still worse is, that specula~ tors in California are doing their best to send on favorable accounts, in order to get out of the scrape themselves, by putting their burdens up. on the shoulders of new adventurers.” : COMING TO THE POINT. A colored preacher was preaching a collec. tion sermon in Albany a few Sundays since, and being deeply interested in the result, he “spoke right out.” ‘ My bredren,” said he, “please to remember that clergyman want Liverpoot, Nov. 3, 1849.—The demand for cotton has fallen off with boththe tradeand spec. ulators.

No droves of hogs have yet reached our Town; and, indeed, we do not suppose that they could, at the present, find a mar- ket here, as the weather is, and has been for some time, rather warm for packing pork. At the proper time, however, dro- vers may expect to sell us some hogs.— The Asheville Messenger says: “ There have passed through this place +y the last ten days, upwards of 20,000 hogs. The hogs in 20 miles of this place could take each other by the tail (where they have any) and make a regular line of “succession” or hog row for 60 miles! Such a grunting, squealing and corn mash- ing, has hardly ever been known. Corn 50 cts. a bushel, pork $3 to $3 50 per bun- dred, gross.’ Culifornia.—Those who have rendered themselves so unhappy by fears that the Wilmot Proviso would be applied to the Territory of California, will find on the first page of this week’s paper an account of the proceedings of the people’s Con- | vention at Monterey, which it is hoped, will quiet their nerves.

It is believed the Whigs have elected a majority in the State Le. gislatare. Mississippi.—As was expected, the De mocratic candidate, Gen. John A. Quit. man, is the successful competitor for Gov. ernor of this State. We believe that the Democrats have also elected all four of the Congressmen. The Whigs had one member in the last Congress. Wisconsin.—The Democrats maintain their ascendancy in Wisconsin. They have re-elected Nelson Dewey Governor by a large majority, and have no doubt also elected a majority in the State Legis- lature. > The Fayetteville papers are complain. ing of the very bungling manner in which a man by the name of Hildreth Was executed in Richmond county a few days ago. The Sher. iff, from occuunts, did not know how to make a knot, nor how to set a “‘ dead-fall ;”’ and the mar, afier being swung off, struggled and ree gained the platform, and asked the Sheriff to fix the rope so it would kill him, But the Sher. iff, afier the betrayal of much confusion, push ed the poor fellow off the platform agaia te take his chance. He died slowly, afier be. coming partly his own executioner by drawing up his legs several times, as high as be could raise them, and then dropping them with (belt, whole weight. The scene, as described in the Observer, must have been horrible. —" “ es e @ wp e a c e n m r m o c e r # s nf wu ea e a é c t w SS mo O sO 68 IMPUDENCE.

NEW YORK. The Coalition of Abolitionists, Barnburners, gad Hunkers in the State has given us a hard run, says the New York Weekly Express of the 16th instant. the Abolitionists in New York have had a force of from ten to twenty thousand votes, never giv- | ento the Whigs, and never before given to the Lecofocos,—but which, in the main, defeated the Whig party, unless aided by some extraor- diary influences. Thus, in 1844, by voting for Birney against Clay, it elected Polk. 1848, it would have done the same thing, but bat the Van Burenites dropt off from their own party, united with the Abolition, and so saved ys by the weakness of what there was of * De- mecracy”’ that Van Burenism left. Now, in 1849, the coalition has been complete,—and the whole democratic party may be said, as a party to have dropped into Abolition hands.— The fifieea or twenty thousand Abolition votes have been almost too strong for us. We have just been spared from the coalition, and that is ul,—and we have been saved solely, and only, by this city, which, from its central position, and from its intercourse with all parts of the Union, tan never be infected with Abolitionism. The waespected twenty-five hundred or three thous- and majority here, and the 15 members of As- embiy, have spared New York from being an Abolition State, under Hunker and Barnburner tule,--and that is all. Some reflections are provoked by these facts. Can the Democratic Party of the North and South bold together, when the Democratic Par- yof the North is thus Abolitionized? Can weh Abolition Lecturers as Stanton, renegade Whig, now elected by “the Democracy ” State Senator, find consorts in South Carolina and Georgia? Assurecly not. The coalition can. not hold together. Southern Democrats will —we do not want them—but ours is a Na. | tional Party—and a National Party must, in the | end, be preferred, even by them, to the party of | avection. Nevertheless, we presume that, for | ibe present, there will be a Paan go up from the | Locofoco Press of Georgia, Alabama, and else. | vbere,—that New York has done so well.— | But let our Whig friends reply,—that the only additional strength which the coalition has had bere, has been from its connexion with Aboli- tlonism. The whole Abolition party has turn- tdin to aidthem. Counties like Seneca and Alleghany, infected with Abolitionism, have gone over body and breeches to them. And, under this Abolition influence, and by surrend- ttingto Abolition rule, Locofocoism in New York can alone hope to beat the Whigs. Of itelf, it can do nothing,—but it must always, lead, The coalition, we presume, will thus go on POsperously, until another Presidential election ~but then its hideous and discordant charac- er will be seen through. ‘To have the Aboli- loa influence, it must throw up such nominees u Gen. Cass, and surrender such United States %oators as Dickinson. The Evening Post, tren before the election, demanded sucha pro- Miation. When the Presidential election tomes, however, and when it will have to act With the South, then the whole of it will burst tad explode, as do all such unnatural concoc- ons, Our community has been very much excited ‘ ng the last and this week by the very sud- Udeath of one of our citizens, and the dis- ing circumstances connected therewith.— 9.

Old Lincoln itself abounds with iron, copper, lead, lime, marble of all hues, pink, flesh- coloured, blue, white, variegated, gold, sil- the lands also, crowded as they are with valuable minerals, are not far surpassed by those of any other region in fertility. Several friends, at our request, having } Factories, Iron Works, &c. of old Lincoln, we lay them before our readers, with the remark, that if any have been overlooked { \ } _ we do not know it, and the omission can. be supplied by our brother Editors at Lin- colnton. _ On the south fork of the Catawby, witk- in the corporation limits of the town of Lincolnton, is the Laurel Hill Cotton Fac- tory, owned by Col. Andrew Motz and Mr. E. S. Barrett all new, and just commen- 'cing operations. The building, which is of wood, is seventy by forty feet, four sto- ries high and contains one thousand Dan. forth spindles with the necessary appur- tenances. The machinery, to be very superior, was manufactured by Charles Danforth, of Patterson, New Jer- /sey. The quantity of yarn produced daily _is sixhundred pounds, | operatives is thirty-five. $20,000. It isthe intention of the Pro. prietors, as we learned, to double the ma- | chinery during the ensuing year. On the same stream, two miles sout of Lincolnton, is the Lincoln Cotton Fac- tory, belonging to the heirs of the late Col. John Hoke, and managed by Col. L. D. Childs. yarn, cloth, batting, carpet chain, candle- | wick, and ropesof all kinds. At the same place they have a Brass Foundry, Wool _Carding Machine, Oil Mill, Cotton Gin, | Saw Mill, Blacksmith Shop, Shoe Shop, and a Store. The hands employed in the | Factory. as in the Laurel Hill, are white | girls. The whole capital invested is over | $100,000. | Four miles south of Lincolnton, on the same stream, is the Buena Vista Cotton | Factory, owned by J. & F. Stowe. This | Factory is said to be doing well. At the |same place isa Paper Mill, owned by | George Monsteller, F'sq.; and he has at |the same place a Saw Mill, Grist Mill, | Tinners Shop, Blacksmith’s Shop, Store, and Book-bindery, all in successful opera- tion. Two miles south of the above place, on | the same stream, is the celebrated High | Shoals Factory, owned by Andrew Hoyle } and Co., and at this time in the hands of | Mr. William E. Rose. Iron, nails, and castings of all kinds are turned out. At | the same place is a Cotton Factory, owned | | by J. F. Phifer & Co., at which yarn and cloth are manufactured. On the oposite | side of the river, attached to the same | Shoal, are two Gold Mills, in successful | | operation—one owned by John F. Phifer | | and Co., and the other by Capt. William Slade, of Lincolnton. On the same land, afew miles distant, is the Furnace be- longing to this Company. The whole capital invested at this place is near Bol act with such men. ‘They may not act with | $200,000. On the same stream there are numerous Flour Mills, Oil Mills, Saw Mills, and Gold Mills, all doing a profita- ble business. On Leopard’s Creek, five miles east of Lincolnton, is a furnace owned by Messrs. | Shipp and Johnston, commonly known as Gen. Forney’s’ Furnace; and between Johnston and Shipp’s Forge and Furnace, on the same stream, Mr. C. C. Graham has an extensive Forge, manufacturing iron, under the management of Capt. Sif- | ford. | On Dutchman’s Creek is Vesuvius Fur- | nace, owned by Messrs. Brevard and Gra- | ham, where they manufacture castings of all kinds and run metal for the forge.— | This is the spot where Gen. Graham died and where ex-Governor Graham was born and raised. Some distance below are the 'Forge and Furnace, belonging io the essrs. Brevard ; and on Mountain Creek | Messrs. Brevard and Smith have a Forge making Iron. Nearthem is another Forge, owned by Messrs. F. and J. Abernathy. Iron ore is to be found in abundance, and is convenient tothe works. The hands employed in all the Cotton Factories are young white girls ; in the Forges and Fur- naces the labor is performed by negroes. _ This section of country trades almost entirely with South Carolina. Cotton and other products are sent down by wagons -to Columbia, and thence to Charleston ; _and goods purchased in the Northern Cit- ‘ies, are ordered round to Charleston, and brought by wagons from Columbia to the |interior. The Railroad from Columbia | to Charlotte is, we learn, all under con- ‘tract, and it is expected that it will be | completed in time to take down the next _crop. When finished, the road will be | within some twenty miles of Beatties Ford, | on the Catawba, and only about 30 miles | from Lincolnton.

Complete this system, and we may talk of building | Cities at Wilmington, Beaufort, and Norfolk, and there would be force and meaning in the language. Do you ask still, can this main stem to the West be built? I answer confidently that it can! It has been | my habit to examine the country aroand me with an | eye to road making, and especially the line of road in | question, as that part of the line extending from Salis- Catawba river, as the proper location for the “ Western Turnpike ; connecting at Lenoir with the “Caldwell and wards Jonesboro’. The routes both from Salisbury and Charlotte to Taylorsville, N. C., are known to be as fine as in any country, and a careful survey from that place -via Lenoir to the valley of East Tennessee, on remark- ably easy grades for constructing a Turnpike together with a critical observation of the Georgia, South Caro- lina and other rail roads, has convinced me that the scheme is one of easy practicability compared with its importance. Should the next Legislature charter this rail road, and employ Maj. Fox, (or some other competent Engineer) to make a survey from Salisbury to Jonesboro’, (as I hope and believe they will,)—I am perfectly confident that he will report that this route, along the highlands, or ridge between the Yadkin and Catawbe, through the “ Johns’ River gap” and the valley of the Watauga does also “ afford the easiest of plateaus for such construe- tions,” and much easier than the route he has indicated, —crossing no large rivers and encountering much less difficulty in the way of cliffs and short curves. The comparative distance will be about as follows :— From Salisbury via Asheville to Ten. line, 180 miles, from thence to Knoxville 65 245 | From Salisbury via Lenoir to Ten. line 120 miles, from thence to Jonesboro’, 35 miles, 155 Difference in favor of Lenoirand Jonesboro’, route 90 miles. The “ Asheville Messenger” is out in his paper of to- day for the first time in opposition as he says, to spend- ing one dollar more on the “ Western Turnpike” East of Asheville. I would suggest a review of his policy in the hope that he will be satisfied with the very liberal donation made to his corner of the State, and that he will still advocate the policy of extending the Western Turnpike until it shall connect at or near Lenoir with the North Carolina and Tennessee Rail Road. As I am from home at this time I must conclude for the present with the hope that this imperfect sketch may enlist public attention and the efforts of more able advo- cates than your humble servant.

The Stoics taught “ there is no pain, Nor pleasure” in this mortal life, That throughout Nature’s wide domain, The mind sustains one equal strife— I’ve tried the Stoics stolid art, And find it vain—I’m lonely still, I feel a void within my heart, Which you, and you alone can fill. I miss thee, when the morning sun, Breaks from the East in floods of light, I miss thee, when his race is run, And stars with splendor gem the night. I miss thee when I kneel to Him, Who bade King David tune his lyre, Before whose throne the seraphim, Touch’d Isaiah’s lips with fire. Thy image stamp’d upon my heart, Absence and time but more endear, It bids each pleasing memory start, It wipes away each falling tear,— And when the world is bash’d in sleep, A spirit with soft-speaking eye, Whispers of Hope for those who weep, Aud tells of Peace for those that sigh. Lady! though distant far from thee, Mind in a moment conquers space ; Thy graceful form I yet can see, Thy radiant smiles—thy beauteous face,— Whate’er in future Se our lot, Blissful or gloomy though it be, I would not be by thee forgot, Still! still in trath remember me.

The Falls of Toccoa fie on a Creck of the same name, about eight miles from Wiley’s Ford, Bridge, or Ferry, in Habersham County, Georgia. This Creek is.’ trib- utary-of Tugaloo river, which unites with the Seneca, from the South Carolina side, to form the Savannah.— The meaning of Toccoa, is “ Beautiful,” or “The Beautiful,” and it is 4 caseade of such charm and Jover liness as to be richly entitled to the epithet. It leaps gaddenly from 4 rocky precipice, 186 feet in perpendic- wiar descent, in 2 sheet of sparkling spray, and swells into bolder beauty, and is ever dashed into angry foam in seasons of watery deluge from the chambers of heav- en. The sudden and abrupt plunge of waters over the ock, without any previous warning, “or note of pre- paration,” has probably given ‘iag to a legend, or tradi- tion, which may be converted to poetic use. An Indi- an chief is said to have become enamored of a faithless maiden of another and hostile tribe, who pretended such a fall return of his love, as tu have impressed him with the delusive belief that she would betray her own tribe into his power. She accordingly arranged her plot ; and, one dark night, affecting to pilot her confiding lov- er and his followers to the surprise of their enemy’s eamp, she treachcrously led them over the precipice, to their utter destruction and the extinction of their tribe. THE LEGEND OF TOCCOA. Beantifal Toccoa! thon leap'st from the rock, And seek’st the deep pool, without uproar or shock ; So gentle thy charm, it invites to repose, As down to the valley, thy silver stream flows. Oh ! sweet to the eye is thy pure sheet of foam, Sweeter the visions o’er the fancy that roam. Graceful Toccoa ! thou delightcst to glide, When moon-light sports over thy beautiful tide ; Or Iris, woo'd by thee to arch in the spray, Hangs o’er thee enamor’d, in face of the day. What pleasure thy charms to the senses reveal ! How fairy the dreams v’er the fancy that steal. Lovely Toccoa! who would credit the tale Of blood that encrimsons thy beautiful vale ? That a false maid—false to both nature and love, Should cause thee a snare of destruction to prove. Oh! deep was the guilt, and demoniac the crime, That turn’d thy white foam into red gore and slime. A dark-eyed maiden, of a fierce, hostile tribe, Btrove the heart of noble young Tolga to bribe ; Pretending her bosom, responsive it burn’d, She made him believe that his love was return’d. Gentle Toccoa! like the voice of a dove, Thy music invites young and fond hearts to love. The false one, she promie’d the deep-trusting youth, And gave him love tokens, in pledge of her truth— To lead on, at night, where the enemy lay, And yield up their camp to his warriors a prey. Oh ! sweet is the trust of confiding young love— Not wise as the serpent, but soft as the dove. Loud roar’d the deep thunder—wild was the storm’show}, The night it was rainy, and wore a dark cowl ; The Indians tramp’d onward, not doubting their guide, She was pledg’d—nay, heart-sworn, to be their chief’s bride. "Poecoa ! Toecoa ! the fell deed is done! Thy waters o’er dead and o’er dying men run. ‘Yreachrous she led them io the brink of the steep: The doom’d chief and his tribe, they take the dread leap— Unwarn’d, unaware, they all steep o’er the rock, And die, drown’d in the pool, or crush’d by the shock. Toccoa! thy murmurs bewail the sad doom Of chieftain and tribe, whom thy water entomb. Toccoa ! thy nature is gentle and mild ; he false maiden only doth render thee wild, When tempests thy heights aod thy white foam bestride, A demon, the false maid, doth on thy flood ride. Toceos ! to guilt thou wilt never yield rest ; Thy voice is the requiem of those who die blest. R. Y. NATURE AND FASHION. *Tis nature makes the geutleman, "Tis nature moulds the heart and mind, Endows far more than fashion can, With all its boest of modes refined ; Your rank is but a human gift, And all experience proves it 80 ; No earthly titles yet could lift The mean the worthless and the low. Then be ye bold when fools look cold, For right and reason both commend it. And surely they who make the gold Are as good as they who waste and spend it. Tia nature grants thee wisdom, power, The inmate tenderness of thought ; A lofly mind is nature’s dower, A boon no fortune ever bought, Where nature’s hand hath been before, There’s little need of Fashion’s touch ; Can rank for manhoods grace do more ? It often fails to do as much. Then be ye bold when fools look cold, For right and reason both commend it, For surely they who make the gold Are good as those who waste and spend it. AA A a i> When we see a neat, preity girl, with a free but innocent air—with cheeks which we can hardly help kissing, and with a pair of heavenly blue eyes, which seent to repose in perfect serenity beneath their silken lashes—we always wish that she was near a mud-pud- @e, and that we had to lift her over Go away straw- berries you've lost your taste— Albany Dutchman. ENEMIES. Have you enemies? Go straight on and mind them not. If they block up your path, walk round them, and do your duty regardless of their spitc. Aman whohas gotmo enemies is seldom good for any- thing—he is made of that kind of mate- rial which is so easily worked, that every one has his hand in it. A sterling char- acter, one who thinks for himself, and speaks what he thinks, is always sure to have enemies. They are necessary to him as fresh air: they keep him alive and active. A celebrated character, who was surrounded by enemies and used to re- mark; “They are sparks which if you do nat blow, will go out of themselves.” Let this be your feeling, while endeavoring to live down the scandal of those who are bitter against you. If you stop to dispate, you do but as they desire, and open the way for more abuse. Let the poor fellows talk—there will be a re-action, if you per- form your duty, and hundreds who were onee alienated from you, will flock to Fou and acknowledge their error. © Te He who betrays another's secret, be- cause he bas quarreled with him, was nev- ef worthy of the sacred name of friend.

CAROLINA /MANUFAGRURES.| We were shown yesterday some beau. shectings, i imens of the-drillings, she tifa) ape gig Ot iietarea BPR OTEST niteville Manufacturing Company of South Carolina, and.te which, at the recent fair of the Franklin Institute, the first premi- um was awarded. This may seem some- what strange, coming as these fabrics do from South Carolina ; but it is none the less true; and what is more, these goods of Southern manufacture are rapidly find- ing their way into our own and even more Eastern markets, where, from their gen- eral excellence, they are competing with the products of our Eastern manufacto- ries. This is an important fact in the bis- tory of Southern manufactures, and can- not fail to enlist attention. The Granite- ville Company commenced their manu- factory at Graniteville, in Edgefield dis- trict, S. C., about three years ago, and it has now become a large manufacturing village. The company, with a capital of three hundred thousand dollars, purchas- ed a tract of ten or twelve thousand acres, at one dollar the acre. A canal whieh cost $9,000 brings the water to the man- ufactories ; the building cost $60,000, ma-. chinery $122,000, saw mill and machine shop $9,000, dwelling houses 342.000, and the remainder in water wheels, shafts, laying out streets,&c. The manofactory has been in operation one year. On the first of June, it is said, the factories began to yield a profit, and on the first of Janu- ary next the company will make a hand- some dividend. The persoos employed in these factories as operatives are the broken and depressed population of the barrens and sand hills, who might for- merly have made a, wretched living by collecting pitch. They now earn from | $4 to $5 a week, females from $3 to $4, and children from $1 te $2.

I have noticed that all men speak well of all men’s virtues when they are dead ; and that tomb stones are marked with epithets of “good and virtuous.” Is there any cemetery where the bad men are bu- ried ? I have noticed that the prayer of every selfish man is “forgive us our debts,” but | makes every body pay who owes him to the utmost farthing. I have noticed that Death is a merciful judge though not impartial. Every man owes a debt ; Death summons the debtor, and he lays down his dust in the currency of mortality. ] have noticed that he who thinksevery man a rogue is certain to see one when he shaves himself, and he ought, in mercy to his neighbors; surrender the rascal to justice. I have noticed that money is the fool’s wisdom, the knave’s reputations, the wise man’s jewels, the rich man’s trouble, the poor man’s ambition, and the idol of all. 1 have noticed that whatever is, is right with few exceptions—the left eye, the left leg, and the left side of a plumb pud- ding. I have noticed that merit is always measured in the world by its success. I have noticed that in order to be a rea- sonable creature, it is necessary at times to be downright mad. I have noticed that we are always wish- ing instead of working for fortune, we are disappointed and call, ‘‘Dame Fortune” “blind,” but it is the very best evidence | that the old lady has most capital eyesight, and is no“granny” with spectacles. I have noticed that purses will hold pen- nies as well as pounds. I have noticed that tombstones say “Here he lies” —which is no doubt often the truth ; and if men could see the epitaphs their friends sometimes write, they would surely believe they had got into the wrong grave.—V. Y. Spirit of the Times. STARTLING DEVELOPMENT. On Thursday night the 25th October, the house of James George, residing in Mercer county, Pa., was forcibly entered by a gang of robbers, having their faces painted and otherwise disfigured for the purpose of evading detection. After hav- ing put the inmates under guard, they | proceeded to search the house for money, using an axe in breaking open trunks te ete a "From the New York Courier. -DOUBLE-HEADED VIPER. following dis¢overy in natiral history ; “ ~ Snake with two Heads.—Mr. J Forrtl,'a féw days ago exhibited a snake which he had killed, with two heads. It is about nine inches in length, and both necks are about an inch long.— It is believed to be a viper. ‘When it at- tempted to bite, it would strike with the head on the opposite side from the object at which it would strike ; an attack were made from the left; it would strike with the right head. Mr. F. has it preserved in spirits, for the inspec- tion of the curious.— Woodstock Tenth Legion. This is curious, certainly. The ‘Tenth Legion, we believe is in Virginia—so that this newly discovered reptile belongs to the Old Dominion. Is it not barely pos- sible that the Union bas been quizzed 7?— There is a paper published at Washing- ton, which seems to be rather accarately typified by this double headed viper. Its temper—habits and especially its peculiar conformation looks suspicious. It has two beads, one from Virginia and the other from New Hampshire; and when it strikes, it does it ‘ with the head from the opposite side from the object at which it would strike.’ Thus, when it strikes at the North. it uses its Soatbern head—and when the blow is aimed at the other sec- tion, the Northern head is brought inte requisition. We are glad to learn that it is ‘to be preserved in spirits.’ To the Ladies of Salisbury & Vicinity. MILLINERY BUSINESS.

Tators made their patriotic, but ill timed and unsuccessful effort. Nor in the midst of their own troubles did the Scotch Irish forget the wants of the poor and friendless ; for they directed. ~3. You shall endeavour to obtain a law or “the relief of the poor, when their goods are sold. by execution. 6. You shall endeavour to obtain a law that overseers may be elected annually in every county with pow®P-to provide fur the poor. 13. You shall endeavour that so much of the Habeas Corpus Act, and the Common and Statute Law heretofore in force and use, and favourable to the liberties of the people, shall | be continued in force through the state, exclu. | ding every idea of kingly office and authority.” North Carolina is remarkable among her sis- ter States of the Union for having always had the following among the provisions of ber con- stitution :—** Sect. 41. A school or schools i shall be established by the legislature for the | convenient instruction of youth, with such sala- ries to the masters, paid by the public, as may enable them to instruct at low prices ; and all useful learning shall be duly encouraged and promoted in one or more Universities.” The maintenance of a University is therefore as | obligatory on the legislature, as is the mainten ance of its judicial or executive departments. In obedience to this Section, the present Uni- versity was provided for in 1789, and opened in 1795. ‘This creditable provision of our Consti. tution is but another instance of Presbyterian attachment to sound and extensive learning. — The fourth command in the paper now before us is, * You shal] endeavour to obtain a law to establish a College in this county, and procure a handsone endowment for the same.” In 1776, the Scotch Irish did not get what they most wanted ; but the hint they threw out evi- dently led to the establishing and ample en. dowment of the University of North Carolina. The Scotch Irish of North Carolina are on re- cord as among its earliest, most intelligent, and firmest friends. One of them, Dr. McCorkle, preached the sermon at its foundation, others have been liberal contributors to its library, and numbers of their sons have been educated in its halls. In Dr. Foote’s Sketches of North Carolina, can be found the story of the efforts which the Scotch Irish made before the revolu- tion to establish a college at Charlotte. They were disappuinted at that time, and the disappoiniment was the more bitter because all the incorporated academies in the colony were placed by law under the control of Epis- copalians, Hence the University of North Carolina must be looked upon as the first re. ward which they obtained for their praise. wor- thy efforts. Still later, Davidson College was established in Mecklenburg county, to complete their satisfaction, and to show by its name and location how much the Scotch Irish of North Carolina value the blessings of a sound and religious education.

You will notice trom the above that this Government is fully imbued with the idea of entering into more and more intimate relations with the United States, a line of policy which looks towards the peaceful organization of the entire North Ameri- can continent into one grand Federal Un- ion.

This treaty renders every port of Honduras perfectly free, so far as the United States is con- cerned; and, with a view to securing these privileges, cedes to us for the time being the island of Tigre, in the Gulf of Fonse- ca. This island commands the Gulf, and indeed the whole coast. It has been or is speedily to be taken possession of by an American naval force. This a great dis appointment to the English, who have long had their eye upon the island, and have been intending to seize it under the pretence of indemnifying themselves for debts due British subjects. The announce. ment of the cession and occupation has made them look foolish. As Mr. Squier’s circular has excited a good deal of atten- tion here among foreigners. I subjoin a copy of it: CIRCULAR.

At the funeral honors paid to Worth, Duncan and Gates, John Van Buren de- livered an oration, in which he related the following anecdote of the former: While General Scott was under char- ges by order of General Jackson, and a court of inquiry was investigating his conduct in Florida, a party of gentlemen met in this city. and after dinner the con- versation turned upon the subject of Scott's services. Worth. indignant at the pro- ceeding, was describing the part which Scott took in the battle of Niagara. He said that Scott’s brigade were advancing, towards evening, under the cover of a wood, from which they were to deploy in- to open field ; Scott had already bad one horse shot under him. and as the column were deploying. his second fell and he be- came entangled ander it. The column wavered, and Worth. then his youngest aid, rushing to his assistance, dismounted and tendered him his horse. saying, ‘Gen- eral can you mount, the column falters for a leader?” Scott immediately mount. ed, and riding to the head of the column, cried out. * Advance men! the night’s our own,’ and Worth followed Scott, as his aid on foot. At this moment a discharge of grape from a single cannon prostrated Scott, the horse which he rode, and his aid, Worth. Scott and Worth were im- mediately carried to the rear, Scott seri- ously, and Worth, as it was supposed, mor- tally wounded. Attention was, of course, first paid to the commanding officer. After some time a deep groan was heard appa- rently from the adjoining tent, and Scott, with that forgetfulness of bimself which distinguishes bim on such occasions, beg. ged the surgeon to fepair to the quarter whence the sound proceeded, and attend, as he said, ‘to poor Worth, who must be dying.’ Instead of this, as Worth conclu- ded, ‘the cry of agony proceeded from my faithful dying charger, who had managed to drag himself upon three legs to the edge of my tent. where he had lain down to die.’ Pausing fora moment, while there was hardly a dry eye in the company, he added—' 1 beg your pardon, gentlemen, | find that, in defending Gen. Scott, I have been incidentally led to describe my own service.’ The Dreadful Murder in Connecticut. The correspondent of the Boston Trav- eller, writing from New Haven, gives the following report of a taéaj in that city : The trial of Henry L. Foote, for mar- der, which took place in this city last week, excited unusual interest, in consequence of the unprovoked atrocity of bis crimes. This brutal murder was another of the countless tragedies of rom. I have sel- dom seen a person who seetned sv com- pletely demented and embruted as did this Foote. He manifested the most stupid indifferences at the trial.

But whether original or not | be depends upon circumstances.” it seems as a sort of presentiment of her! Both the N. York Courier and Tribune, sad fate. : also, supply us with rather dark hints fi Washington inthis matter. The letter of “Alpha,” in the Tribune of the 12th’ inss, SAYS: “Iam apprehensive, for reasons that it is unnecessary joenumerate, that the aspect of our relations with France is not so pacific as it was when the steamer pre- vious to the last two left Europe. What I mean is, that there is more of a disposi tion manifested by the French Government according to last advices, to be dissatisfied and find faalt, than there is any reason or plausible pretext for.” Of course, we do not know what -degréé of confidence to put in all this. To yKé contrary of one portion of it at least—the reception of Mr. Rives—letters from Puris intimate that Mr. Rives will be received in Paris; that he bas had one or two it terviews with the President and M. de Toqueville, and since those interviews he has rented a capacious hotel, belonging to the Duchess de Marmier, for the term ofthree years, which certainly does not look like fear on his part of the result.

Sita. The paper on which these lines were penned was ornamented by two flowers neatly painted by herself. Little did she think how soon that appeal would come to her friends. “Forget me not.” These verses were placed in her dinner basket, which, together with her bonnet and par- asol, were found in good order near the head of the murdered girl. Insanity.—Miss Dix, the distinguished philanthropist, in a memorial to Congress, by which she asks a grant of land for the benefit of the insane in our country, shows that in the New England States the pro- portion of the insane to the whole popu- lation, is about 1 in G00; that in the Mid- dle States it is lin 900; and that in the Western States it is 1 in 1300. The worst state is Rhode Island, where there is 1 to every 503; and the best South Carolina, where there is 1 to every 6,158. In some of these states there is comparatively ex- cellent provision for the insane; but in others little or nothing has been done. THE BANTER. It was a cold winter night in the West, many years ago, and a small party were sitting around the bright blazing fire in a little country tavern, the only one the town boasted of, when the landlord was suddenly aroused by a knocking at the door and a loud ‘hallo! here.’ As soon as the door was unbarred, a stout young man entered, buttoned up in a brown over- coat, with a fur cap, booted and spurred, with a riding cap in his band. * Lodgings tor the night,’ said he to the landlord, *and have my horse well fed.’ Then approaching the fire, he spread him- self, and tapping his boots with bis whip, gave a supercilious look upon the little knot of men around, who bad made way for bim. * Devilish cold night,’ said he, unbutton- ing his coat: why don’t you have more wood on here.’ . ‘That was a great shot of Billy Robin's yesterday, said an old man in the corner, peering over his spectacles at the stran- ger: ‘be shot an Indian at two hundred and thirty yards. * That was pretty fair,’ said the stran- ger,‘ but I'll bet ten dollars that 1 can out sboot, out ride, out wrestle, out run or whip any body about your diggings.’ No one replied to this banter, and at last the old man, who stood about six feet high, said, ‘We don’t fight much about here, stran- ger, except with Indians, but as you ap. pear keen for a bet I'll bet you ten dollars that | can beat you spitting at a mark at the distance of six feet.’ ‘Done,’ said the stranger, I'll take the bet.’ And the money was forthwith put up, the distance measured off, and a cross made on the floor with a piece of chalk Suda Coffee—The flavor of coffee may be very much improved, by adding forty or fifty grains of carbonate of soda to each pound of roasted coffee.

For the information of the Public, we give the following extract from a late circular of the General Agent of the Society: “The corner stone of the Washington National Monument was laid on the 4th July, 1848, with imposing ceremonies, in the presence of a numerous assemblage of our citizens from different sections of the U. States. Some States sent banners with appropriate inscriptions, which are encased, and will be placed in the monu- ment. The foundation of the obelisk is laid eighty-one feet square, eight feet be- Jow the surface of the ground, and is con- tracted so as to be fifty-eight feet ten in- cbes squaro at the top, an elevation of twenty-five feet of solid masonry.

A correspondent of the Pittsburg Gaz- ette relatcs the following circums‘ances, as received from the late sheriff of that couaty, Mr. Forsyth: “Some time inthe course of the past year, he, Mr. Forsyth, was called upon to exercise his authority for the sup- pression of a large disorderly meeting, somewhere inthe suburbsof the city. At the time of bis arrival on the ground there was every manifestation of an immediate and violent outbreak ; and while he was deliberating about his duty in the premi- ses, he was approached by the Rev. Mr. | Kirkland, who acted so conspicuous a part in the late trials in our court, with a re- quest that he would let him try the effica- cy of prayer on the excited passions of the throng. . “The Sheriff replied that he doubted much the success of such an expedient, bat that he was willing to. make the ex- periment. Mc. Kirkland immediately as- sumed a station a little elevated above the multitude, and poured forth, apparant- ly trom the fullness of a Christian spirit, a prayer most appropriate to the occasion. Immediately after he commenced those around him became calm, some of them Very reverently took off their hats, and when, at the conclusion, he raised his hands and in the most solemn manner pronounced the benediction with which congregations are usually dismissed. The mob dispersed as quietly as a congrega- tien retiring from church, leaving the sber- iff no further necessity for the exercise of his authority,” FROM TAMAULIPAS. News was received yesterday at Mata- moros of the defeat of a certain Ignacio Flores, (near Cruillas.) said to be attempt- ing an insurrection in Tamautipas. Ca- nales, the President of the State Legisla- ture, had command of the force sent a- gaiost Flores, who, with abont twenty men, were attacked about midnight; of these four or five were killed, and the balance taken prisoners; among the last was the said Flores, who was immediate- shot and hanged to a tree, by order of commander, without trial. It appears, ia a letter of Canales. published in Mex- ico, it was stated that Flores had ten thou- sand dollurs in gold, and was on hie way to Brownsville. It seems to us a question whether the charge of revolutionary move- meats, or gold, caused his being thus trans- lated from the world.

I proceed, therefore, to give you simply the general results of my. re- flections. The Federal Government, because it is the Government of the United States, is the trustee and agent for all the States and their citizens. Every power, therefore, | Which it can rightfully exercise, it must | of necessity exercise for the benefit of all the parties to it. The territory of the U. | nited States being the common property, If _ the Government is bound to administer it | as far as practicable for the benefit of all ‘the States as well as their citizens. A difference, however, exists among them /in relation to the institution of slavery.— | when the Constitution was formed, twelve of the thirteen States were slavebolding. That instrument, though it has clauses et- | pressly inserted for the protection of the rights and interests of slaveliolders, con | tains no provision for the abolition of slave |ry any where. If the Government, there- | fore, can properly exercise such a power in any instance, it must be because its | duties as a general agent, acting so as to meet the interest and views of its prin ciples require it. But 15 of the 30 Sates _of the Union still maintain the institution | of slavery. It is obvious, therefore, that of the States, and the consideration due § you personally, merit alike a prompt reply. & Democratic party united and consolidated on a sound and enduring basis of ~princi- ples.—[ Eve Post.

While the form of the constitution might remain the same, {ts character would be essentially changed. Ought the Southern States to acquiesce in this great organic change in our political sys- tem? Ought they to remain members of an association which had, in uller disregard of plain constitutional guaranties, degraded them from their position of equality ? nishes no record of any people who have pros. the fier they had forfeited their self-respect, , | ; eprcairad ‘the duty of recording so F-rrible a crime, ‘and of wounding the feelings of highly by submitting to be degraded to a state of po- litical vassalage, | hold it to be the duty of the Southern States to resis! this change. That resistance, to be effectual, should be commen: ; surate with the violence of the attack. This they owe to the cause of constitutional liberty, to justice, and to their own honor. With reference to the abolition of slavery in the District of Columbia, I will simply say that waiving all controversy it relation to constitu. tional right, and obligation to the adjoining States, if such an event were to occur at this time, it Would not take place in obedience to the wishes of the citizens of the District, but would be brought about at the intsance of the jphabitants of the States. But these persons have no right to control the local affairs of this District. Should Congress, therefore, thus act al ieir instigation, it would be guilty of an act of tyranny so insulting and so gross as to justify a withdrawal! of confidence from such a Gov. ernment. You ask, in the second place, what I be. lieve likely to be the course of the South should guch a contingency occur? ‘There was but one of the States having any considerable num. ber of slaves in relation to which I had any doubts. From her frontier position, and the werful influences brought to bear on her, 1 had some fears as to what might be the action of Kentucky. But I have been gratified be. yond expression by the gallant stand which that poble State has recently taken. She has there. by shown that she will not abandon her sis. ters in the hour of danger, but that she will, if necessary, (ake the front rank in the struggle for the preservation of the rights and liberties ofthe white race in the South. The union of both parties in Mississippi is a type of what will occur elsewhere. The Southern States ought to have but one feeling on thig question aa they can have Lut one destiny. I have no doubt but that over the entire South there would be a vastly vreater unanimity than ex- isted in the old thirteen Slave Stales when they decided to resist British aggression. If a few individuals should attempt to take a different course they would be swept away in the gen- eral current. Long before the struggle should come to the worst the South would present an anbroken front. Iam not unaware, sir, that in making so. brief and concise a statement of my views | incur the risk of misconception and of misrepre- sentation, but I should feel that I did not appreciate the momentous nature of the sub- ject if | could attach consequence to mere per- sonal considerations. Very respectfully, your obedient servant. T. L. CLINGMAN. Hon. H.S. Foors. P. S. Since the above letter was wiitten, it has been submitted to my Colleague, Mr. Man. gum, and he concurs fully in all its general | conclusions, and avows his purpose to make known his views at length at an early day, and solertains the opinion that the Federal Gov. ernment has no power to legislate on the sub- ject of slavery either in the State or the Ter. ritories, and that ail precedents, whether legis- Jative or judicial, because adopted without due consideration, are not ubligatory. TiC: RESULT OF THE NEW YORK ELECTION. Parties in the New York Legislature, itis now pretty well settled, are just é- qual. This is an extraordinary circum- stance, certainly, for so large a State, though the National House of Represen. taives is not far from being in the same condition. We learn from the Albany Journal that, contrary to reiterated re- ports, the Coalition have carried the three members of Assembly in St. Lawrence county. This unties the House, making itstand Whig 63 and Coalition 65. The Senate is Whig by a like majority—17 to 15—presenting the unexampled spectacle of a tie on joint ballot ! The popular vote of the State is also nearly balanced. The large anti-rent ma- jorities against Mr. Beach, the Whig can- didate for Canal Commissioner, has de- feated him and elected his competitor.— The following are the successful candi- dates for State officers : State Officers Elected. Christopher Morgan, W., Sec. of State Washington Hunt, W., Comptroller. Freeborn G. Jewett.D., Judge of Appeals Levi S. Chatfield, D., Attorney General. Alvah Hunt, Whig, Treasurer. Hez. C.

Ar a large and respectable meeting of the citizens of Burke County, held in the Town of Morganton, on the 17th November, 1849, for the purpose of appointing delegates to the Convention to be holden at Greensbor- ough, on the 29th inst., upon motion of Maj. James (Oy. Smyth, Col Isaac T. Avery, was appointed Chairman, and on motion of Col. B. S. Gaither, E. J. Erwin, and The object of the meeting was explained by the chair- man, and thereupon W. W. Avery, Esgq., introduced the Resolved, That we have witnessed with lively inter- est, the efforts now being made for securing the Charter of the Central Rail Road; that we regard the success of the scheme as a fixed fact ; that all discussion touch- ing the propriety of the measure is now useless, and that it becomes the duty of every citizen of the State, in whatever section he may reside, to contribute his mor- al weight and influence at least, to the advancement of this grand project. Resolved, ‘That we believe it entirely practicable not only to construct a Rail Road from Salisbury or some other point on the Central Road to the base of the Blue Ridge, but to extend the same across the mountains via Asheville to the Tennessee line; and this opinion is by the corps of Engineers now engaged in locating the Turnpike Road from Salisbury west to the Georgia line. Resolved, That the agitation of the question of the proposed extension of the Central Rail Road west to the Tennessee line, is a matter of vital importance at this time, in view of the action now being had in Tennes- see, to construct a Rail Road from Nashville to Knox- ville, and thence east via Abingdon to the valley of Vir- ginia; that the valley of the Catawba River on the east- ern and the vallies of Swannana and French Broad riy- ers on the western side of the Blue Ridge, furnish “ ap- proaches” to the mountain, and facilities for crossing the same, such as do not exist at any other point along the ngineer of the probable cost of the proposed Rail culation for the Central Road as already chartered. Resolved, That the golden opportunity is now pre- sented of consummating the grand scheme of connec- tion—(one regarded as visionary) between the Atlantic coast and the great valley of the Mississippi by a Cen- tral Road through North Carolina and Tennessee, if our People will but take the matter in hand and manifest a determination to connect our Central Road with the Tennessee Road at Knoxville before the road diverges to Virginia, and we therefore earnestly recommend to the Counties and to the People more immediately inter- | ested in the proposed extension of the central rail road, | to take the matter into earnest consideration, with the view to an application for a charter therefor at the next | meeting of the Legislature. | Resolved, That twenty delegates be appointed to re- | present this County in the Convention te be holden in Greensborough on the 29th instant, and they are here- by requested to present to the consideration of said Con- vention the subject of the proposed extension of the cen- | tral rail road, and ask an expression of opinion touching | the same, from that body. Col. B. 8S. Gaither offered the following additional re- solution which was accepted by Mr. Avery, and incor- porated as part of the series, viz: Resolved, That the Chairman of this meeting ad- | cress a letter to Maj. S. M. Fox, principal Engineer employed by the State in surveying the route for the Western Turnpike, inviting hin to attend the Conven- | tion at Greensboro’, as a delegate from this County and requesting him to furnish said Convention with such in- formation as he may have acquired by exploration or survey touching the practicability of extending the cen- tral rail road west to the Tennessee line. The meeting was then addressed by Col. B. S. Gai- ther and W. W. Avery, Esq. At the close of Mr. Ave- a Ty’s speech, the original resolutions with the additional resolution offered by Col. Gaither, were unanimously | Upon motion, the meeting appointed the following delegates to the Convention at Greensboro’, viz: W. W. Avery, Col. B. S. Gaither, T. G. Walton, Dr. W. | C. Tate, F. P. Glass, J.C. Smyth, C. M. Avery, A. Duckworth, J. D. Ferree, E. P. Jones, S. C. W. Tate, | k. J. Erwin, T. R. Caldwell, J. J. Erwin, W. M. Wal- ton, J. H. Murphy, Wm. F. McKesson, D. Corpening, C. McDowell, and Col. I. T. Avery. On motion, it was resolved that the proceedings of this meeting be published in the Raleigh, Greensboro’, Salisbury, Charlotte, Lincolnton, and Asheville papers. | It was then moved that the meeting adjourn to meet | again on Tuesday of January Court.

Soon af- ter we had taken our seats in the drawing- room, before dinner, the Chief Justice said to Mr. Madison— “Have you thought, sir. of a title for our new President?” Madison’s answer | was in the negative ; and he added, that in his judgment, no title, except that of President would be necessary or proper. “Yes sir,” replied McKean, “he must have a title; and I bave been examining the titles of certain Princes in Europe, to dis- | cover one that has not been appropriated. “Most Serene Highness, | find is appro- inated in its course.

But the term “His Excellen- _cy” does not distinguish the Presidential | office above that of the Governor of a |State. The term as applied to the latter | is of colonial descent and used to be the erate of the provisional Governors under the British crown. In our State of Maryland the phrase is always used when- ever the two Houses or either commani- cate with the Governor. | Another objection to the use of the term is to be found in the cireumstance that it denotes in Europe a grade of official rank far from the highest ; so that when a for- eign minister applies the designation to the President of the United States it is a derogatory designation. Some of our Presidents were very particular upon this and would receive no communication from foreign representatives bearing that ad- dress. “To the President of the United States” is the simple and appropriate style of official designation, most suitable to the dignity of the office and to the repuplican- ia the midst of a clear sky, accompanied with | 1 noise like the report of a single peice of artil. | ery.

Dr. Ashbell Green, who died not long since at avery abvanced age, we take the follow- Mg extract relating to an interesting mat- ler of our early history : “At the period we contemplate, I made & part of a company, in which a conver- ‘ation took place, the report of which | think yoa will receive with some interest.

The Raleigh (N. C.) Standard, a Dem- ocratic paper, in a controversy with the Raleigh Register, (Whig) concerning the wer of Congress over Slavery in the Territories of California and New Mexico, some time since made the following ad- mission, from which it would appear that it holds the same views of the constitution- al power of Congress over slavery in the District of Columbia, which are enter- tained by the Free Soil party : the Constitutton it is declared that Con-, gress shall “exercise exclusive legislation in ‘all causes whatsoever’ over the District of | Columbia. Here isa grant of “exclusive” | and supreme power. Why was not the_ same language used in relation to the, Territories? Why, if as the Register de- _clares, “the right of absolute and unlim- | ited legislation” over the Territories was intended to be delegated, did not the framers of the Constitution say so, just as ‘they had said in relation to the District ‘of Columbia ?” It is a little remarkable that the free Democracy should be sustained in its view of the power of Congress over ‘the Territories by Whigs of the South, and of the power of Congress over Slave- ry in the District of Columbia, by lead- ing Democrats of the South. The position of the Standard is the same as that which was taken many years ago by the Hon. | Richard M. Johnson. Let all Creation listen! The foregoing is taken from the “National Era,” the cen- | tral natronal organ and mouthpeice of the | Free Soil party, published at Washington City!!! What says the “Standard” to that ? What says the “Republican” about that “ruse” of ours, now? Ip seems that the Free Soil organ places precisely the same As we supposed, it was a. that we did—a construction favorable to the fanatical views of the Free Soil party —a construction that every unprejudiced man, who read the article must necessari- ly have placed upon it! But more anon. It will be remembered that the “Stan- dard and the Locofoco Press generally, in this State made an awful noise and ex- pressed a holy indignation, some time since, at the fact that the Register was negatively commended by an Anti-Slave- ry print, for its views upon the dan- gerous project broached by some disciple of Mr. Calhoun’s, of instituting an espoin- age over the mails. We shall expect, also, now, to hear them give vent to a virtuous horror that the “Era” has endors- ed (for, of course, it is highly gratified at the “Standard’s” “admission”) the position of their own organ ! There is a practical conundrum which illustrates most admirably the condition in which the “Standard” now finds itself, after having endeavored to fix the brand of indignation upon us, on account of the encomium above referred to: “Look a hea,” said a Western negro to his fellow laborer, “look a hea, d’you see dat tall tree down dere ?” “Yes, Jim, 1 does.” “Wal, I got up dat tree ‘fore to-morrow, to de bery top.

McLain, of Washington city, has received a letter from President Roberts, of Liberia, containing interest- ing intelligence from Liberia : “ A few days ago I addressed you, via England, a short ncte, announcing the ar- rival of the ‘ Hiuma’ at Sinoe, and that the immigrants had all been landed in good health and fine spirits, and much de- lighted with their new home and the pros- pects before them. They are, indeed, as far as | am informed, a fine set of people, industrious and enterprising, and will no doubt prove a great acquisition to Sinoe, and Liberia in general—just the kind of people we need. I had also the pleasure of announcing the purchase of Grand Cape Mount and Manna by this Govern- ment, and the hope of being able soon to extinguish the slave trade at Gallinas. | have the satisfaction now to inform you that the slave trade at Gallinas is on its last legs, in consequence of the strict blockade of that territory by the British squadron, and the rapid extension of our jurisdiction in that direction. The na- tives have determined to abandon the traffic in slaves, and the chiefs have ac- tually delivered to Capt. Dunlop, of ber Majesty’s ship Alert, all the slaves that have been collected there for exportation, numbering several hundred, to be taken to Sierra Leone. The foreign slavers have also taken advantage of Capt. Dunlop's kindness, and left the Gallinas in one of her Majesty’s vessels for Sierra Leone, having promised Captain Dunlop never again to return for the purpose of engag- ing in the slave trade.” Mr. McLain, in a letter to the Intelli- gencer, communicating this intelligence, says: “The news of the arrival of the emi- construction upon the “Standard’s” article grants by the Huma, and their great sat- isfaction at their prospects there, present a strong appeal to the friends of the col- | ored race to send in the means to enable /us to colonize in December the company | of about sixty from near Murfreesboro,’ | | N.C. Since my note which appeared in ‘your paper of yesterday was written, | | have received two hundred dollars more. | Who will send us the remaining eighteen hundred.” | The Decatur, at Portsmouth, N. H., “Ip the first article and 8th section of | brings intelligence from Monrovia, that President Roberts has been re-elected to the station of chief magistrate of the Li- | berian republic. For Vice President there was no choice by the people, and the se- lection, therefore, must be made by Con- | gress. Mr. Warner, the Secretary of State, would, it was thought, be chosen. The republic has a snug man-of-war schooner, carrying a neat little battery, with the word “ Liberia” on each gan, all which was a present from the British go- vernment. She was absent on a cruise with General Lewis, the Secretary of the Treasury, who was visiting the national trading establishment along the Liberian shore, which constitute the main depen- dence of the republic for revenue, They have a judicious tariff, but have not yet perfected all the necessary arrangements for the collection of duties on imports. An officer of the Decatur, just arrived from the coast of Africa, has written a letter to the Boston Post, in which he gives the following account of the republic of | Liberia : “The republic seems to be in a flour- ishing condition, ceapidering that it is peo- pled almost entirely by slaves who have been liberated in our southern States., It has aliberal constitution, wholesome laws, two newspapers, churches of various de- nominations, and well conducted schools. “Their commerce is beginning to be worth looking after; nor did Great Brit- ain send their popular president and suite home in a magnificent man-of-war for nothing. In proof of which! enclose you a copy of a treaty recently concluded be- tween the parties, showing that, while ‘the Queen, God bless her,’ has one of her bright eyes on the suppression of the slave trade on the shore, she has the other fixed on the palm oil, ivory and gold dust of interior. -But I shrewdly saspect that we, too, shall have a finger in the pie; for | understood that the Rev. R. R. Gurley, the champion of colonization, had arrived at Monrovia before we left, as an agent from our government, and that he was most favorably received. The Rev. Mr. Bas- tian, lady and child, missionaries from oar. country, arrived at Monrovia, in health, about the middle of September. “Dr. J. W. Prout, formerly of Balti- more, who was much esteemed by the Liberians, and held a seat in their Senate, was drowned en Monrovia bar, while re- turning from a vessel at anchor in Mes- seurado roads, which hc had visited pro- fessionally to attend the sick. He also held the office of register, which is now filled by the renowned Col. Hieks, from Kentucky.” SUBLIMITY AND VARIETY OF THE BIBLE. The true reason why some literary men disbelieve the Bible, is the one given by Dr. Johnson : “ Because they are ignor- ant of its contents.” And the same may be the reason why so many readers fail even to read this “book divine.” Mrs. Ellis, in her “ Poetry of Life,” has well said : “ With our established ideas of beauty, grace, pathos, and sablimity, either con- centrated in the minutest point or extend- ed to the widest range, we can derive from the Scripturesa kind of gratification not to be found in any other memorial of the past or presenttime. From the worm that grovels in the dust, to the leviathan in the foaming deep—from the moth that corrupts the secret treasure, to the eagle that soars above the clouds—from the wild beasts of the desert, to the lamb within the shepherd’s fold—from consum- ing locusts, to the cattle on a thousand hills—from the rose of sharon, to the ce- dar of Lebanon—from the clear crystal stream, gushing from the flinty rock, to the wide waters of the deluge—from the barren waste, to the fruitful vineyard, and the land flowing with milk and honey— from the lonely path of the wanderer, to. the gathering of a mighty multitude— from the tear that falls in secret, to the din of battle and the shout of triumphant bosts—from the cottage to the throne— from the mourner clad in sackcloth, to the prince in his purple robes—from the gnaw- ings of the worm that dieth not, to the seraphic vision of the blessed——from the still small voice, to the thunders of Omnipotence—from the depths of hell to the regions of eternal glory—there is no degree of beauty or deformity, no tenden- cy to good or evil, no shade of darkness or gleam of light, that does not come within the cognizance of the Holy Scripture, and therefore there is no expression or con- ception of the mind, that may not here find a corresponding picture ; no thirst for excellence that may not meet with its full supply ; and no condition of humanity ex- cluded from the unlimited scope of adap- tation and sympathy, comprehended in the language and spirit of the Bible.” Singular freak of Electric Fluid.—Du- ring the thunder storm on Tharsday last, a bolt struck the building occupied as a feed store, by Messrs. Snyder and Co. near lock No. 12, at East Schaylkill Haven.— The fluid struck the roof, passed down the front of the building, and separating, de- scended on either side of the front door, through which it entered into the store, where Mr. Francis Benseman ard Mr. Snyder were standing. It struck Mr. Sny- _der on the shoulder, completely stripping the clothes from that portion of his person, passed down his side, across his abdomen, through his pantaloons pocket, where was ‘some silver change, thence down his leg and out through a very considerable bole which it burned in the bottom of his boot, and disappeared through the floor. Mr. Snyder was stricken down senseless and apparently dead, ia which condition he remained until some of the neighbors car- ried him out into the rain, which in a few minutes caused him to revive : he contin- ues, however, in a very weak and preca- rious condition. Mr. Benseman was also stricken down senseless, but revived very soon, and creep- ing to the door, opened it, making bis way into the open air, so confused, however, by the violence of the shock, as to be un- conscious whither he went.

The public buildings on the line of the procession and many of the stores and private dwellings were suitably decked with the insignia of mour- ning, and the belis gave out their solemn notes, broken in upon only by the subdued peals of martial music. The procession moved from the Park about 12 o’clock, and passed through the incipal streets. Upon its return to the k, prayer was offered by the Rev. Dr. De Witt, and an oration delivered by Mr. John Van Buren. The remains of the deceased officers were then conveyed to the Governor’s room, in the City Hall, where they in state until Friday morning, when they were re- moved for interment. Those of General Worth were interred in Greenwood Ce- metery; Col. Duncan’s were taken to Cornwall, his native town; and those of Col. Gates were interred on Governor's Island.— Nat. Int. ALMOST A DUEL. The Boston Journal of Monday after- noon has the following :— A DUEL—Nort Quire.— We learn from a creditable source the following particu- lars relative to an affair which has caused some little excitement among the students of Harvard University. It seems that a young man named S——, native of the “sunny South,” who for some time past had been a member of the scientific school at Cambridge, was suspected of cheating, while playing at cards for amusement (’) This suspicion had become so universal among his associates who occasionally “took a hand” with him. that a member of the Junior Class, P. R., of this city, de- termined upon playing a game or two with S., merely for the purpose of detect- ing him in cheating, if such a thing could be done. Accordingly, two parties met, and the game was commenced. It was not long, however, before Mr. R., believ- ing that he had accomplished his object. threw his cards upon the table. exclaim- ing to Mr. S., “ you’ve cheated, and you know you have,” or language to that ef- fect. This occurred during the last week, and the day after, Mr. R. received a challenge from Mr. S. to meet him in mortal com- bat, provided he could fight him in any Southern city. This challenge, accompa- nied by such a proviso, Mr. R. at once de- clined accepting. The next morning, just after prayers. the parties met, Mr. S. be- ing armed with a cowhide, and making some demonstration of violence towards Mr. R. The friends of both parties in- terferred. however, and prevented any personal violence being done at that time. Subsequent to this, the two students met in the University Book Store. each hap- pening to be accompanied by their friends, the South being divided against the North. After some altercation, S. drew a pistol, exclaiming, “ if you put your hands on me, I'll blow your brains out.” No blood was shed, and the parties soon separated. The threat of Mr. S. reaching the ears of the faculty, he was promptly informed that inasmuch as he had violated the laws of the commonwealth, he would, if he did not leave Cambridge forthwith, be handed over to the civil authorities. Mr. S., doubt- less thinking discretion the better part of valor, immediately took up with the ad- vice of the faculty. Sothe matter rests at present. The Boston Transcript states that on Friday last a lady in that city received the following letter, containing the sum of $59 :— “| herein enclose the amount of a sum of money which I dishonestly took from your former husband several years ago. I have been on the sea many years, and about six months ago! was in great dan- ger of going to the bottom, when all my sins stared at me, and I resolved to re- pent if God spared my life. When I came ashore | found your husband was dead. | have searched for you and am thankful to find where you lived. I hope you will fergive me as I think God has. The way of the transgressor is bard. “Tae Penrrent Tuer.” Queen’? Victoria.—A pretty compliment was paid to Vietoria at the celebration of the Atheneum at Monehester ehise weeks since, by the presidi cer, who said: —On ail occasions she has consulted the welfare of her people ; nor is she less ad- mirable in her private life. Her private life is remarkable ; she is a good wife and a good mother. Her expense has never | exceeded her income, more than that, she ‘has paid, and is still paying the debts of her father without asking for any assist- anee fromthe nation. Moreover, sbe bas insisted upon paying the income lax, and | thus contributing to the expense of the istafe. . : ‘entirely of and in itself. er wandesing | unsatisfied f ek that the ts PP feel Gbclover wah « beauty chat is not of earth dc then pas offand leare us ta: musé upon’ theizloveliness 1 Why is it that the stars which hold their foetal around the midnight throne are yet above the grasp of our limited factulties, forever g us with - their unapproachable glory!

Home.—ht bas been said of Americans, that they manifest less attachment to the place of their birth, and less regard for their friends of other days than any people in the civilized world. ‘This wea hend, is not theie true character; they leave their friends and their homes. aad cast themselves upon the Ude of uncertain, and ofien unpropitious adventure ; but not because the society of friends has be- come irksome, or the home of their child. hood has lost the charms of its pristine beauly ; no! no! deep, bitter, and abiding are the sore rows that entwine the heart of a dutiful son, and the affectionate daughter, when, perhaps for the last time they look upon the form of an aged mother whose years admonish all, that. ere long the cold hand of death will consign her to a resting place forever. Who that has ever beheld the streaming eyes of a fond and luving mother, who with stricken heart and heaving bosom, would clasp the hand of her de. parting child, and as the last maternal office, point him to a faith which leads to a happy spirt land, who in the whole earth that has seen this, can say that an American does not love a home, anda friend. ‘hank heaven, our countrymen are industrious, enrerprising and bold, though they are generally poor; and their footsteps are directed for fortune, and for hon, or. And the homes, and the friends that they love, are henceforth remembered in their ety- sian dreams of pleasure, forever gone. He who does not wander back in sweet recollec- tion, and live again the sunny hours of times gone by, surrounded by friends who be never can forget as a “ human icicle,” and never en- enjoyed the society of a true friend, or knew the care ofa care of a father, and the love of a mo- ther. Should any one ask me why home was the spot which above all others on earth, we cherish in undying memory. I would answer : because it-is the place where we have felt the, smiles, and enjoyed the love of our mothers. Assaying Metals.—The assaying is the most curious and scientific of all the business in the miat. The melters take the gold dust, mek it, and cast it into a bar, when itis weighed ac- curately, and a piece is cut off for the assayer. He takes it, melts it with twice its weight of lead. It is melted in small cups made of bone ashes, which absorb all the lead ; a large part of the silver is extracted by another process, an : the sample is then rolled out to a thin shaving, coiled up, and put into a sort of glass vial call. ed a matrass, with some nitric acid. ‘The mat. rasses are put in a furnace, and the acid is boil- ed some time, poured off, a new supply put ing - and boiled again. This is done several times till the acid has extracted all the silver and other mineral substances, leaving the sample of pure gold. ‘The sample is then weighed, and, by. the difference between the weight be- fore agsaying and afier, the true value is found. All the silver over and above five penny weights for each lot, is paid for by the mint at its true value. he gold, after it has becn assayed, is melted, refined, and being mixed with due pro- portion of alloy, is drawn into long strips, (not unlike an iron hoop for a cask,) the round piee ces cut ou! with a sort of punch, each piece weighed is brought to right size, and put into @ stamping press, whnce it comes forth a pere fect coin. —Sci. Amer. Perpetual Motion.—We bad the pleasure & few days since, of examining the Machine re- cently invented by our friend and townsman Mr. C. W. Richter. We have never been convinced of the practicability of the arduous attention paid to this object; by Mr. R., and have numbered ourselves among the incredu- lous, until we examined the wheel, and saw in motion. Now, we are convinced, and tho’ this notice may excite in others the same in- credulity before entertained by ourselves, sure- ly no reasonable man who witnesses its evolu- tious, can doubt for a moment, that itis a pow- er generating wheel. Its construction is so simple, and its whole movement so plain, that the most skeptical ubserver is at onee con- vinoed that the propelling force of the wheel is Of the construction’ of the wheel we are now not at liberty to speak. The principle is similar to that on which Mr. R. was engaged one year ago; a notice of which appeared in this paper. Of the utility of this machine in its present infantine state we are not very sanguine. ‘That il involves a~ principle, in which, when developed and per. fected, may be successiully used asa motive pow. er, we cannot doubt, the cherished theory of sage philosophers to the contrary notwithstanding. ‘The publie will soon have an opportunity of witnessing this proud achievement of genius, and we fogbear further comments af present. “ Seeing is believing,” aud we hope the in. credulous ary avail themselves of a view of this invention, befure denouncing it as a. philo- sophical abeurdity.— Mad. Vis. Another warniug to the Inebriate.—A man by the name of John Pitman was run over on the morning of the 20th instant, before day, on the Wilmington and Rateign Railroad, Edgecomb county. and instantly killed. Hecwas lying on the track in astate of intoxication; and the Engineer was not aware of any thing of the kind until he arrived at the break- fast house, when he discovered a part of the man’s clothes on the cow hooks. The townof Wilmington, always shead of the balance of the State in public spir- it, has appointed 20 delegates to the Inter- nal Imprevement Convention to be held at Greensborough on the 29th instapt; and voted the sum of 200 dollars for de- fraying their expenses. That is the way to do the, thing. - We are bora for a higher destiny than that of . bees, C. Barohardt, Paul M. Heilig, Joseph F. Chambers, Joel H.

' Witbia the political circle of aspisants and expectanta, a- mong those who resolve all public affairs into the disposal of offices and success or defeat of intrigues, and regard the Government mainly as a huge magazine of patronage—among that busy and anxious class there is no doubt a great dea! of nervous agitation and restless disquie- tude. A general confidence, however, in the safety of the Republic, in the sfability of the ministration, has thus far preserved the great body of the people from uneasy excitement, and we are happy to indulge the bope that euch confidence will continue.

The people of | this country, moreover, have met serious ques. | lions before, and they have generally found them more formidable at a distaace than when encountered in reality. In many cases the country itself, in its rapid progress and unceas. ing developments, outgrows these questions be. fore they. come to those issues which are repre- sented as so terrible.

An influential Whig Senator from the South, informed me last evening that be- yond a doubt seven States would secede in case of the passage of the proviso.— I fear than is suspected. Another influ- ential Southern Senator whom I saw yes- terday, is rampant, and some of the most cautious and reasonable of the North Car- olina delegation talk forebodingly and de- spondingly. I have conversed with many other Southerners within the last two. or three days, and begin to believe that there is trouble ahead of a potentious character.

M. Mr. Clay in the Herald Offce.—The Hon. Henry Clay visited the office of the N. Y. Herald yesterday, to witness the modus operandi of printing. After an introduction to Mr. Bennet, he said he de- sired to see the machinery by which so much mischief had been done among us politicians, so that we may possibly find some plan to resist it. On reaching the Press Room Mr. Clay said, ‘ This is the place where you forge your thunder.’— Bennet replied : ‘ This is Pluto’s region.’ Mr. Clay left astonished, but was very much pleased. A singular trial is progressing before the county court of Baltimore, being that of Messrs. Julia Levin, wife of the Hon. Lewis Levin, member of Congress from the second congressional district of Penn- sylvania, charged with a violent assault upon a young man named Fite, the son of | a wealthy merchant.- The assault was committed on a public road leading from the city. Young Fite, riding in a buggy, passed the carriage of Mrs. Levin and looked in-—expecting, as he says, to see one of the family with whom he was acquaint- ed; but failing to recognise who was within, he drew up and allowed the car- riage to pass again. Mrs. Levin, imme- diately taking his conduct as an assault, ordered her footman to seize the young man, which he did, and held him whilst she cowhided him. The case is still pro- gressing.

Pro- | pably the females of republican America “use up” more silks, satins, scarlets and velvets, (things which. as Franklin says, out the kitchen fire,) than any other | women in the world. The habit of wear- | ing their best dresses in the streets is al- most exclusively confined to the Ameri- ean ladies. In England, France, &c., rich satins and velvets arc not thought suita- ble for walking dresses ; and we suppose some European ladies of the highest fash- jon. would think themselves inexcusably extravagant, if they trailed these costly materials through the dirty thoroughfares. Now, we are among the last_to propose European examples to the imitation of Americans—male or female: but if we may learn wisdom in some things even froay the operations of brote | instinct— | may we not occasionally derive a good Jesson from the habits of those foreigners, | for whom, in many particulars, we enter- tain a well-grounded dislike or contempt? The adage that “fine feathers make fine birds” seems to have an undue weight with our fair countrywomen. But let them observe that almost every bird of brilliant plumage is remarkable for its lit- tle intrinsic value.

SUSAN CRAIGE, | | | ) ' \ { tf£47 of vol.4 | \ even the goose, has more real value than the peacock or the parroquet. Yet we by n¥eans wish to restrict the ladies, espe- cially the young ones, to brown and drab. That is not the idea. We are simply op- to extravagance. A lady of good taste may always array hersel! neatly and handsomely at a moderate expense ; and some ladies ean appear as well dressed with an outlay of ten or twenty dollars, as others can by expending hundreds.— Over-dressing js not usually considered as the fault of those who cali themselves the “higher circles,"—by them it is regarded as a symptom of vulgarity. It is like the gliding and embossed work which we see gn some books— when a volume is exces. sively decorated inthis way, knowing ones suspect that it has but little intrinsic worth to recommend it. The notion that a lady should have a complete outfit every month, or as often as the fashion changes—according to the Lady's Book, is a very mischievous and nonsensical error. We have read some- where astory called “ Killed by the Fash- jon Vlates—which recorded the downfaH aad untimely decease of a whole family, jm consequence of this troublesome and fatal mistake. The unfortunate father of the family committed suicide on accoant of the ruinous extravagance ot his daugh- ters, and the young ladies literally ~ dres- ve? themselves to death,” in their anxiety to come up to the pictorial standard. At this time, when ultraism in dress is all the go—we should like to see that moral tale rinted, in the form of a tract, and distri- uted, gratuitously, among the lovely belles and magnificent matrons who daz- zle our eyes, daily,on the fashionable pro- mises,— Pennsylvanian.

The size, position, and motion of the ears of a horse are important points.— Those tather small than large, placed not woo far apart, erect and quick in motion, -adicate both breeding and spirit; and if a pocse is in the frequent habit of carry ing one ear forward, and the other back- | ward, and especially if be does so on : journey, be will generally possess oe spirit and continuance. The stretec ing of the ears in a contrary direction shows that he is attentive to everything that is assing around him, and while he is doing this, he cannot be much fatigued, nor likely soon to become so. It has been remarked that few horses sleep without pointing one ear forward and the other back ward, in order that they may Teceive notice of the approach of ob- iects in any direction. When horses or ules march in company at night, those | in front direct their ears forward; those inthe rear direct them backward; and those in the middle of the train turn them laterally or crosswise—the whole seeming wus to be actuated by one feeling, which watches their general safety. The ear of the horse is one of the most beautiful parts about him; and by few hings is the temper more surely indica- ed iban by its motion. The ear is more intelligible even than the eye, and a per- jon aecustomed to the horse, can tell, by the expressive motion of that organ, al. post al| that he thinks or means. When a horse {ays his ears flat back on his neck, | he most assuredly is meditating mischief, and the bystander should beware of his heels ur his tecth. In play. the ears will be laid back, but not so decidedly nor so | long A quick change in their position, | and more particularly the expression of the eye at the time, will distinguish be- | ween playfulness and vice. The bearing of the horse is remarkably acule. A thousand vibrations of the air, too slight to make any impression on the yoman ear, are readily perceived by him. his well known to every hunting man, that the cry of hounds will be recognized by the horse, and his ears will be erect, | andhe will be all spirit and impatience, | a considerable time before the rider is con- scious of the least sound.— The Horse and | his Rider | A HOG CASE. Rather an amusing hog case was told | tous by alegal gentleman recently, which for the benefit of our readers we make | public without mentioning the names of the parties, On the confines of the town live two small farmers, each, among other things, engaged in the rearing of hogs.— One isan honest German, the other an! Englishman. Not Jong ago the German missed from his pen several hogs, with peculiar marks and spots, Whichhe thought he could recognize anywhere, and aftera diligent search, they, or what was sup posed to be them, were discovered by the German's son (Ifans) in the pen of his neighbor, the Moglishman. Claim was immediately made by the one for their | restoration, but was stoutly refused by the ! other, who maintained that he had raised them from infant piggery to their then— condition. A suit for their recovery was the result; lawyers were engaged, and the case came before a magistrate for his decision Hosts of witnesses were examined on each side. On the part of the German, it was proved that his hogs were of the same color and spots; that an old dog, «with but one tuoth, had bitten one of them inthe ear, and the mark was shown, &c. The Englishman proved by an equal ar- tay of testimony, the littering of the pigs, the careful bringing them up to hogdom, lhe cutting of the dog bitten hog’sear with aknife with a broken handle, &c. It was amost doubtful case. The two women who claimed before Solomon the mother- ship of the child were not more positive it their assertions than were the two liti- ants as to the ownership of the hogs in Question. Testimony was so nicely bal- anced that the Justice was bothered how lo decide The lawyers on cach side made most fatnest declamation, as to the rights of their clients. At last, the German’s law- fer (who was but a young disciple of Blackstone, and this was his first case) Was seized with a lucky thought. He desired the son of the German to be re- talled, Hans stepped forth. He was ask- tdif he was not in the habit of calling the hogs, and did they not answer his call. He answered yes. “And now, Hans,” said the lawyer, did you call them in Ger- Man or English. “Me calls dem in titch,” replied Hans. Resort was im- Mediately had to the Englishman’s hog yard. Haus called the hogs “in Deitch,” aod lo! those which the German claimed Were the only ones out of the number Which came forth at Hans’s German call. be effect was. irresistible. Judgment Was immediately rendered for the Ger- Man, and the hogs ordered to be restored to him.

The Richmond Whig of Tuesday says: ‘We yesterday saw the ticket, Nos. 2,10 43, sold to a country farmer, which drew. the grand capital prize of $30,000 which was paid on presentation at Lucky’s Of. | fice. Number of dogs in the United Seates.— | If it be within the power of those who are to give directions about the next census, we hope they will take measures | to ascertain the number of dogs, male and | female, in every county in our Union ; and | if it could be done, it would be useful to: have also, a return of the number of sheep | killed by dogs. At two cents per day, it | is probable that the cost of dogs is equal | to the value of our exports of grain and provisions to England this year; and it is| not improbable that our sheep husbandry | would add much more to the wealth of the country, if it were not for the fear of having the sheep destroyed by dogs. We are no enemies of dogs of genuine | blood, kept and used for their legitimate | and appropriate purpose ; all such will | ever find in us staunch friends and defen- ders. But we have a great aversion to} idle and useless whelps—natt consumere | fruges—born only to consume the fruits | of the land, whether they go on four legs | or two!—Plough, Loom and Anvil. | Incombustible Preparation for Wood.— | The following receipt for rendering wood | incombustible has been, we believe tested | in regard to ‘its efficacy, and, although | personally we have not seen proved, | think we can recommend it as being of much utility, particularly when applied to | the surface of wooden roofs, or other pla- | ces particularlyyexposed to the action of | fire. It is very simple in its preparation, which requires the operator merely to take a quantity of water proportionate to the surface of wood he may wish to cover, | and add to it as much potash as can be | When the water will consistency of common painter's size ; Se- | cond a sufficiency of pure clay to render | it of the consistency of cream.

Recently, while attending a court in J county, where Judge S. presided, a very plain — question was presented for the decision of the court. It was argued elaborately on the wrong side, and when the opposite attorney (a real Paddy, who had just waded through Blackstone | and Chitty, so as to obtain a license,) rose to | reply, he was stopped by his honor, who in- | furmed him that his opinion was made up a- | gainst him; that he would have no further ar. gument.—Paddy laid his hand slowly upon a volume of Blackstone, and opened where the leaf was carefully turned down, and commenced | reading the law directly in conflict with the opinion of the court. “Stop, sir,” cried the Judge, “T have deci- ded the case, and my mind is no longer open to conviction, nor will I have any further ar- gument in the case.” ** Oh,” said the lawyer, “I did not intend to argue the point, nor did I expect to convince ! your houor—lI only wanted to show the court | what a blasted fool Blackstone was.” Such a shout of laughter as went up from every part of the court house, was beyond the means of the sheriff or the court to control for | some minutes, when Paddy was fined a dollar | for his slander of Blackstone. Theology and Odd Fellowship.—The Pres. | byterian Synod of Cincinpati, (Old Schoo!) which recently met in Springfield, Ohio, were occupied most of the time with the discussion of the merits and demerits of secret societies in general, and of Odd Fellowship in particular. ‘The subject came up inthe shape of an appeal by amember of the Presbyterian Church, from Greenfield, Highland county, Ohio, who was | suspended because of his adhesion to the Or- der of Odd Fellows. ‘The final vote was, for sustaining the appeal 39; for sustaining the Session and Presbytery 19. ligious rights.

CASS’S LETTER. Senator Cass was invited to partake of a pub- lic dinner while in New York by a number of his political friends. He excused himself at length, and his reply gives utterance to the ful- lowing sentiments, which we most heartily ap- prove : ‘Placed in a geographical position to ex- ert a powerful influence upon the duration of this confederacy of Republics ; attached to the Union, and to the whole Union; and attached equally to the principles of freedom, and to the constijution by which these are guarded and secured : should the time ever come—as I trust it will not—and come whence and why it may —when dissolution shall find advocates, and the hand of violence shall attempt to sever the bonds that huld us together, the West will rise up as one man, to stay a deed so fatal to the cause of liberty here and throughout the world —aye. and still it will be stayed. Success can never hallow the effort. If we are not struck by judicial blindness, we shall hold on to the constitution with a tenacity defying tine and ac- cident, thanking the God of our fathers, and our own God, for political instructions which have secured to us a greater measure of national prosperity than it has ever been the lot of any people before us toenjoy. We have but one danger to fear. As to mil- itary power and the general corruption of man. ners and morals—causes to which history at- tributes the fall of many republics iu ancient and in modern days—lI believe if they are not the last, they are among the last of the evils we have to apprehend. Our future would be all the patriot could desire, if that future con- tained no other seeds of danger than these.— The prophetic sagacity of Washington foresaw and foretold the true danger which awaits us ; the danger of sectional interests and passions arrying one portion of the Union against an- other. A spirit of compromise was necessary to cre- ate this confederation, and it is equally neces- sary to preserve it in its integrity and efficien.- cy. When questions arise deeply affecting the country, and dividing it by geographical lines, then comes the time of trial, which no true American can contemplate without anxie- ty. It is seldom that such issues can be pre- sented, when mutual forbearance is not dicta- ted alike by duty and by wisdom. If one half of a great country, abandoning all other differ. ences of opinion, is unanimous in its senti- ments upon any measusure of internal policy, locally affecting itself, its citizens should meet from their countrymen of the other sectione kindness, and not denunciation ; argument and not recrimination; and a desire to reconcile conflicting opinions as harmoniously as is com. patible with the nature of the controversy. No such views respecting their rights or their po- sition can be so held by an extensive commu. nity without the existence of forcible consider. ations, which call for careful inquiry, and for a In this spir- ‘union, and will contribute powerfully to our strength and prosperity. with great regard, Your obedient servant, LEWIS CASS. I am, gentlemen, THE CONVENTION. We copy the entire Proceedings of the late great Rail Road Convention at Greensboro’ from the * Patriot.” We can do but little more to-day, than call attention to them. It will be seen that the Convention was nu- ' merously attended, and that it comprised much of ‘the best talent and character of the State ; that the utmost enthusiaem marked its delibera- |tions; that party distinctions were entirely | forgotten, and that men, whose political opin. /ions are as diverse as to the two poles, were united in cordial and patriotic co-operation, [as an evidence of this fact, we might cite the | names of two of the Vice-Presidents, and the two most prominent actors in the Convention, who were rival Candidates for the Gubernato- rial Chair in 1840;] and that a noble determi- nation to retrieve the fallen fortunes of North Carolina pervaded every bosom, and glowed in every sentiment. Such example and such influences, we are confident, cannot be lost— they must not be. It was ascertained before the Convention ad- _journed, by a special Committee designated ‘for that purpose, that only about $204,800, in all, of individual subscriptions, had been made. On the main practical propositon—to take the remaining $396,200 in an hundred shares— ' fifty-one shares, or a littke upwards of half the amount, were taken. So that the whole amount subscribed at present amounts to something in the neighborhood of $610,352—leaving some | $389,648 yet to be raised. Will that amount be raised? We _ be- lieve it will be. We believe thatthe Conven- tion have adopted the surest and most efficient means of securing the deficient amount of sub. scription. | | all, we hope and believe, that our people can- not remain much longer callous to the appeals which their own interests, and which State pride and State prosperity are so urgently pressing upon them.—Ral. Reg. M. Montholon.—It is now stated that M. Montholon, long a resident of this, country, isto be the French Minister to the United States, and not M. Bois Le, Compt, as previously reported. The Rich- 'mond Whig hopes that this may be so, as M. Montholon has talent and acquirement fully equal to the station, while, at the same time, he is probably better acquain- ted with the workings of our institutions, and with the American people, than any man whom the cabinet of the Tuileries | could select. He married an American lady—the daughter of the late General Gratiot, of the United States Army We believe that the proper men, | the right laborers, are in the field; and above | GUILFORD AND GREENSBORO’. Tha public spirit exhibited by the cit- izens of the County and Town, during the Session of the Railroad Convention, there last week, is deserving of all praise, and such as could hardly be exceeded any | where. No people could extend a wel- come more warm and hearty to their fel. low-citizens—tbe elegant hospitalities of true North Carolinians were open to all, and participated in by all—and the Dele- gates from a distance were made to feel that they were among friends and broth- ers. There are many very handsome pri- vate residences, both in town and country the public buildings are good—those ap- propriated to Institutions of learning spa- cious and elegant; and everywhere the eye is greeted and the heart cheered by indications of progress and improvement. Oh ! there are bright spots in old North Carolina yet—the finest people on the face of the earth are within her borders and when we can all feel, from the moun- tains to the seaboard, that we are one peo- ple—one in kindred, one in interest—com mon sharers in common fame and pros- perity—and proud of all—then shall we see our good Old North State what she ought to be, and what our noblest citizens are striving tomake her. The struggle is bofore us yet for a brief while. May every county along the line of the North Carolina Railroad catch a portion of the enthusiastic spirit which animates the people of Guilford ; and very soon not only this Great work, but a dozen like it, will open avenues to every productive section of the State; build up our own commercial marts, and pour upon them a flood of com. merce and an ocean of wealth, which will be diffused until every neighborhood with- in our borders shall feel the genial and beneficial change. Agriculture, Manufac- tures, and Commerce can be and must be supported and built up among us. Iw- PROVEMENT Will effect the object and re- deem the State. We go forit, party or no party—and rather than it shall fail, we oughtto give up party—until we have leisure, from this nobler aim, to attend to and arrange, as we have heretofore too much attended to, National affairs. The Union will hardly be dissolved before we have the North Carolina Railroad built: when we get it finished, and the State is properly and closely united, we defy fa- natics of every shade and color here or elsewhere, ever to dissolve it. North Carolinians will then be one people, and will “frown indignantly” upon every at- tempt to distract or divide us.—Ralergh | usc Times. THE NEXT GOVERNORSHIP. We observe that the “ Weldon Herald” is | out in an article upon the subject of the next Governorship, and recommends that a Whig | State Convention be held in this City, on the 10th of January. Upon this proposition it asks the views of the Whig Press generally. So far as our own individual opinion is con- cerned, and with all due respect for the opin- ion of our Weldon cotemporary, we think the discussion of this matter rather premature, and the time suggested altogether tooearly. In the first place, a sufficient length of time does not intervene between this and the 10th of Janua. ry, to affurd an opportunity for holding the dif. ferent County meetings to appoint Delegates ; in the second place there is no necessity for so protracted a campaign, a nomination, at so early a day, would induce ; and in the third place, we see no use of being in a hurry, any way. As tothe locality—we are confident that we speak the sentiments of the Whigs of Ral- eigh, when we say, that they entertain no par- ticular preferences as to the point where the Convention, at a proper time, may assemble. We are ourself inclined to the opinion, that, as our City has had perhaps pretty much of a mo- nopoly in that line, the Convention had better be holden at some other accessible point—say at Hillsboro’ or Greensboro’. But more, at the right time.—Ral. Reg. | | | I CAN’T DO IT. What a volume of human misery is un- folded in that short sentence !

The advocates of a Southern Convention who pretend to be so desirous of preserv- ing the rights of the South, are letting out their real designs pretty early—and are killing the project in the very bud. Some of the South Carolina and Georgia papers are urging that this Convention, which has been called at Nashville in June next, for the purpose of uniting the South on the Slavery question and protecting the Southern rights, shall nominate a Candi- date for the Presidency ; and point to Mr. Calhoun, of course, as the man.

The line from the summit of Scotts creek, ten miles west af Waynesville to Asheville, has been obtained without materially in- ereasing the distance, aud without any slope exceeding one foot in seventeen.— From Asheville to Back Creek five miles west of Marion, incldding the passage of the Blue Ridge—the distance increased bat about one mile over the old route, and the slope nowhere exceeds one in twenty. From this point to Salisbury several routes presented themselves, but from the great inaccuracy of the maps and local in- formation, it was deemed advisable to run an experimental line before locating.— As a survey had already been made of the route from Buck Creek by Island Ford— the new survey took an entirely different direction—passing down the Catawba river to Morganton, and thence by Mor- ganton, the South fork of the Catawba and Newton to Shuford’s Ferry—thence by the dividing ridge between the waters of the Catawba and Yadkin to this place. This route will give an accurate base line upon which to predicate the location of the road. GUILFORD’S REPLY.

At an earnest wish of the father, an operation had been performe which bad not answered as was expected These things all concurred in awakening a painful curiosity as to the exact char. acter of the secret symptoms, and it was urged by many friends of the deceased, that the post mortem examination shoul be made.

Tuorspay, Decemser 6, 1849. IN SENATE. Mr. Calhoun presented the credentials of the Hon. Jeremiah Clemens, elected a Senator by the Legislature of the State of Alabama, to sup. ply the vacancy occasioned by the decease of the Hon. Dison H. Lewis; which were read, and the oath ‘prescribed by law was admin- istered to him, and he touk his seat in the Senate. Mr. Greene asked leave to withdraw the pe- tition and papers of Wm. H. Prentiss from the files of the Senate.) Mr. Hale. I believe it was determined last session that leave should not be granted to withdraw papers generally without the reason assigned. Mr. Greene. I stand corrected by the Sen- ator from New Hampshire, and will state the rea- son for withdrawing the papears as it has been iven tome. F know nothing about them my- self, bat I am informed that the petition in the case is one upon which favorable action has been taken, ard that a bill was passed at the last session in the other House, whieh bill fail. ed-in the Senate. ‘The object of withdrawing the papers is that they may be presented anew in the other House. If this be considered a | sufficient reason, | bope leave will be granted | but I feel no peculiar solicitude on the occasion. | The great question of Southern rights, to be properly and successfully handled, must be kept free of party and the strug- gles of ambitious aspirants for political power. Ithas heretofore been charged, that the aim of this Convention was to form a Southern Confederacy, of which John C. Calhoun was to be the President. | If so, the aims are only now appearing ; and we warn the whigs of the South to be on their guard. ‘It is not, and it can- not come to good” So far as any of those designs militate, in advance, against the union of the States, so far are they throwing difficulties in the way of the maintenance of Southern rights and pander to the designs of the Aboli- tionists of the North who wish to drive us out of the Union. If Mr.Calhoun is to be the prominent champion of Southern heard. Mr. Root playfully remarked that, if there was to be any compromise, he would like to have all parties represented. He should like to see both Mr. Boyd and Mr. Vinton elected chairmen ; but, as he had a colleague who was quite an old soldier in the service, he pro- posed for chairman, in addition to the other two gentlemen named, the Hon. Joshua R. Gid- dings. (Much laughter.) He was very hap- py, he said, to find that his proposition met with universal acceptance, and gave pleasure to all. Mr. Wilmot maintained that there was no necessity for the adoption of the resolution.— He had hadsome experience in the House, and had never seen better order in it than du- ring the three preceding days. ‘There had been both good order and good feeling.

YOU AIM TOO HIGH. The above wasthe remark of a man, made some days since in our hearing, with regard to the Sons of Temperance. Said he: “You expect too much—you look for the first men in the country to take hold of your Institution—to sacrifice all their former habits of luxury, and join the Sons of Temperance in all their whims and fancies. Not content with gathering in the drunkards, you are continually call- ‘ing for the aid of men of influence and character”—and thus the young witling prated on, no boubt, very wisely. And pray ,is it “expecting too much,” of men who have gained the confidence and es- teem of their follows, that they should aid in leading them from a degrading vice, and induce them to take a respectable stand in society? Is it “expecting too much” of men who call themselves Patri ots, Philanthropists®Christians, that they should abandon their “habits of loxury” in partaking of the wine cup and brandy decanter. when thousands of the flower of the land, the hope of the country, are sink- | ing daily into the drunkard’s grave and the drunkrad’s hell?

The House having been ealledto order by T. J. Campbell, Esq., the Clerk— Mr. Hilliard rose and said that, by a mistake of the tellers, the name of Mr. Holliday, of Vir- ginia, was placed among those who voted on the eighteenth trial yesterday fur Mr. Win. throp. ‘The error, however, had been rectified on the journal, and Mr. Holidaygg name enter- ed as baving voted for Mr. Richirdson. The Journal was then read ; when, On motion of Mr. Baly, the House resumed the business of yesterday, that of voting for Speaker; Mr.Hilliard, of Alabama, Mr. Miller, of Ohio, Mr. Strong, of Pennsylvania, and Mr. Davis, of New York, still acting as tellers.

For, saysshe, “after having care- fully picked your time and men, and call- ed us to the field, when all where cheered alike by fair Ladies and waving of white handerchiefs,” “we regret you could not hold your hand with us,” &e. Ha, ha, Guilford picked the time, and packed the gallery with pretty ladies, and Rowan had no share in that part of the business. But Rowan does calculate to have some- address in the highest degree creditable, The formation of a false membrane, lining the whole extent of the windpipe, which got broken, and choked up the natural tube for breathing as well as the artif. cial one, were all so clearly developed by symptoms so manifestly appeared, that it friends of the little sufferer, that the ex: amination was made.

Miller, tn Rowan county, about four miles West of Gold-Hill, and insisted on staying all night. The writer of this article being there at the time, interrogated him, (tho’ much under the influence of spiritous li- quors) and learned that he was from Ra- leigh, and had a family living there ° URE he came to Gold Hill about three weeks since. He was asked why he left Gold- | Hill. but could give no satisfactory reply. | He was evidently laboring under affec- tions of delirium tremens. At half past g o'clock he was put to bed, but rather requested that some one of the family should sleep with him. Some time after midnight he was heard walking about in the house, and talking to himself all the After some time he went to bed again, and was silent until about daylight, wben he got up, and talked a great deal about cutting of the threat, but could not be understood, his articulation being very indistinct. He then wanted a razor for to shave, but that being denied him, he went to breakfast, and whilst seated at the table, he asked Mr. John J. Miller whether he hada knife. Mr. Miller re- plied he had. He then requested to see the knife, which Mr. Miller handed to him; and as soon as handed to him he put itin his pocket, and handed Mr. Miller a half dollar. Mr. Miller refusing to take it, he threw it on the table, got up, walked into the parlor, lighted his pipe, and walked out about fifty yards from the house, and behind a pig sty. The air with which this was done, was not calculated seri- osly to arouse Mr. Miller's fears as to the object he had in view ; and supposing that he had retired to the place to com- ply with a call of nature, and that he would soon return, Mr. M. did not follow him. Some minutes after, a struggling, groaning noise was heard in that direc- tion by some children about the house.— Mr. Miller was told of it, and incompany > with the children, went up to the place where Harrison was last seen to go.— There they found him, on his knees and | hands, with a most frightful cut on his throat~bleeding profusely—the knife still The alarm was imme- tain man, who time in his right hand. diately given to the neighborhood, but be- | fore assistance arrived the man had exe pired.” The Coroner of the County having been notified of the above case, an Inquest was held on the body of the deceased yester- day evening, which resulted in the return of a verdict according with the facts as stated inthe oregoing article. The pock- ets and clothing of this man being exam- ined by the Jury, two silver half dollars, and a small piece of tobacco, was all that could be found. CARRYING WATER UPHILL. Passing from dinner to the Office yes- terday, we were hailetl- by a red-faced | man on horse back, with large whiskers, | and an air of dignity sufficient for a Judge, when the following dialogue took place ; “Look here stranger, don’t yon want water brought into your yard. it for you.” “Well sir, how can you doit, and how far can you bring it.” By means of a wheel, post, buckets and wire, and bring it any distance ‘up hill from a spring.” Not having a spring near, we informed our customer so, when he immediately asked us the distance to Wadesborough, and concluded by saying, * Well stranger, don’t you want to buy something to cure the tooth ache.” “No use for such an article.” * Well, don’t you wish to purchase a teceipt to make sovp without lye or grease.” At that we bid the stranger good bye, and informed him that a gentleman across the street might probably employ him to bring water up hill. He immediately rode off, saying I will bring it up for him for twenty-five dollars. I ean do Large Pigs.—Mr. C. S. Browy, of this place, slaughtered two pigs on yesterday, two years old, one of which weighed, 520 ibs. gross—460 nett. The other 510 Ibs. Gross—450 nett. Pretty respectable pigs. A BAD MOVE.

The electrical clocks in this city | and Cincinnati having been introduced into the completed circuit, every beat at Cin- cinnati was recorded at almost the same, instant on Saxon’s revolving cylinder in| this city, and every beat of the clock here | was recorded in like manner upon Mitch- ell’s revolving plate at Cincinnati. At the moment a star passed the meridian at) Washington, by the touch of a key the | record of the passage was made upon the | disk at Cincinnati, as well as upon the. cylinder at the Washington station, and | the difference of the time of the two clocks would of course indicate the differ- ence of longitude. This distance between the two cities, it must be recollected, is | upwards of five hundred miles; this dis- | tance was annihilated, and events hap- pening at once were instantly recorded | by automatic machinery at the other.— | The interchange of star signals was soon interrupted, however, by the intervention of a cloud at Cincinnati, and the remain- der of the evening was occupied by the gentlemen present in a philosophical dis- cussion on the subject of the velocity of the transmission of electricity. We were never more impressed with the power of the telegraph to annihilate space, and bring into instant mental communication individuals separated by hundreds of miles. ATROCIOUS MUNDER. Jno. Roe,a young man of very good character, was shot at his house in South Creek district in this county, a few days since, by Moses Ernal, of Craven County. The wife of Roe, to whom he had been maried about ten months, was waked a- bout three o’clock in the morning by a noise at the door. She got up, opened the door, and the moon shining very bright, saw Ernal bolding a handkerchief over his face ; but in attempting to dodge a- ‘round the corner of the house the hand- “herchief fell, and she saw his face and , knew him. She then called her husband | whoin a few minutes afterwards was: marriage, and that he received an anony- mous letter threatening to kill him in case be should marry ashe did. His wife isa sister of Ernal’s wife.—North State Whig. ALABAMA SENATORS. We have already recorded the election of the Hons. W. R. King and Jere Clem- mens, as Senators from Alabama—the latter being a Taylor Democrat. In connection with this election, the Journal notices the fact, that three or four Whigs representing democratic counties voted for democratic candidates, thus car- rying out the wishes of their constituents, while nine or ten democrats representing strong Whig counties voted exclusively for democratic candidates. Such is dem- ocracy every where. While professing to represent the will of the people, they invariably disregard it when it conflicts with party discipline.— Raleigh Register.

From Salisbury to a point on the Ca- tawba River, near Island Ford, thirty miles, grading and brdiging, at $6000 per mile, Eight miles grading from ridge to Valley $180,000 00 of Catawba, at $8000 per mile, 64,000 00 Sixty-one miles of Catawba Valley to foot of the Blue Ridge, at $3000 per mile, 183,000 00 Seventeen miles for the ascent of the Blue Ridge, and descent to Swananoe Valley, at $10,000 170,000.80 Sixty-six miles of Valley of Swananoe and French Broad, at $3000 198,000 00 Tunnell through the Blue Ridge, five thousand feet long, total cost, 160,000 00 Bridges over the Catawba, 40,000 00 Total cost of Grading and Bridging, $995,000 00 182 mules of superstructure, with rail 52 lbs. to yard, at $5000 910,000 00 As follows, 80 tons rails at $50 $4000 1760 cross ties, 20 cts. 352 | Chains and pikes, 98 Laying, 550 #5000 Total cost of Track and Grading, $1,905,000 00 Eight per cent for equipment of super- intendence, 152,400 00 $2.057,400 00 The route here chosen is entirely gratuitous, and I have no doubt but that the estimates will be reduced Total cost, | after a proper survey and choice of route, but if they | are increased another $500,000, surely a trade for which | Virginia is spending five or six nuillions is worthy of this amount. Virginia is expending 400 thousand for the passage of the Blue Ridge alone, and Pennsylvania expended one million and a third for the same purpose. I under- stand that the Buncombe Turnpike which passes down the French Broad cost but $500 per mile ; my estimate for the Rail Road over the same ground is $3000 for | grading, while the Turnpike is eight feet wider than the | Rail Road. In the passage of the Blue Ridge, seven- teen miles are estimated at ten thousand per mile—the | Alleghany: Rail Road in Pennsylvania which passes over | pretty much the same ground—built in the most perma- nent manner with bridges of stone, and twenty-eight feet wide, cost 13000 per mile to grade. Your ob’t serv’t, S. MOYLAN FOX. Davidson College. Messrs. Epirors: It may be a matter of interest to you, as well as to your intelligent readers, to know that the Convention to be holden at Davidson College, and which was published in your paper for several weeks, | has taken place ; and that Wi.uam H. Foore, D. D., of Virginia, was elected to the Professorship of Moral | and Mental Science, in that College. The interest manifested on the morning of the Convention indicated a determination that a work of importance was to be done, for there was an unusual promptness in the at- tendance of the friends of the Institution. When the roll was made out, there was found to be forty-nine members entitled to the deliberations of the body. On motion of the Rev. Cyrus Johnston, Rev. R. H. Morri- | son was called to the Chair, and Rev. William Banks, was chosen Secretary. Nominations were then called for. The names of the following gentlemen were brought before the Convention, viz: Dr. Yeomans, of | Pennsylvania, Dr. Foote, of Virginia, Mr. Engles, of Cheraw, S. C., and Dr. Colton, of Fayetteville. All who know these gentlemen, will see that either of them | would do honor to any College or any station, only one was to be chosen, however. clearly and freely, the Convention proceeded to ballot, which resulted in no election until the fifth or sixth bal- loting. Dr. Foote was then announced by the Chair as being elected, having received thirty votes out of forty- eight. College, whose interest in the proceedings of the Con- vention was intense, for as soon as the election was made known, their approbation was signified by a gen- tle clapping, which run through their ranks. It was then moved by some member, that the Con- vention ballot again, and endeavor to give 8 unanimous This vote resulted in forty- vote tu the Professor elect. six for Dr. Foote, and three voted blank. I have seldom seen greater zeal manifested for the prosperity of Davidson College, and never saw a better spirit pervade any body of men than characterized that body, where men—their claims and qualifications were | finished its work in the midst of many the prosperity of Davidson College, and the speedy ar- rival of the Professor elect, and many congratulations at the speedy and happy close of the Convention. Yours truly, A MEMBER. After considerable discus- | sion, in which the claims of each one was presented At which announcement, there was a general | \ satisfaction expressed in the bright countenances of the | whole Convention, and especially by the students of the | bs = wa end DBIPURTPUNTEE. | ‘A babe in a house is like a well-spring of pleasure, a messenger of peace and love ; : Yet it isa talent of trust, a loan to be renderéd back with interest.” Tupper. =a ' BORN, Dec. 2—A daughter to W. J. Plummer, Town. “ 3—A daughter to Peter Monroe, County. Bied _ In this Town on Friday the 7th inst., PLEASANT, infant son of Dr. Pleasant Henderson, aged four years lacking one month, and the only remaining child of his parents. It is for affection to chronicle the sayings and deeds of most children, and to that record they may generally be committed with most propriety. The world has lit- tle interest generally in a child of this age, and yet this community knew this little boy, and took a deep and lively interest in his fate. An early developement of in- telligence, personal strength and action, added to a lovely and honest little face, failed not to awake in the many who were about him admiration andlove. The painful character of the disease, (strangulation from croup,) and its terrible vicissitudes for several days, kept our vicini- ty in a state of anxious excitement ; and when at last the news went forth that “little Pleasant was dead,” it produced a sad depression of feeling amongst us. A pause or a sigh in the busy world is a rare tribute for one so young, but his memory has now the tribute of many tears and lasting sorrow. No bitter tears for thee be shed, Blossom of being! seen and gone ; With flowers alone we strew thy bed, Oh blest departed one ; Whose all of life, a rosy ray, Blushed into dawn, and passed away. Thou wer't so like a form of light That heaven benignly called thee hence, ’Ere yet the world could breathe one blight O’er thy sweet innocence. And thou, that brighter home to bless, Art passed, with all thy loveliness. THE MARKETS.

Collision at Sea and Loss of Life.— Capt. Leavitt, of the packet-ship Galena, arrived at New York from New Orleans, has furnished the annexed account of an unfortunate collision at sea, which hap- pened on Sunday evening last: “On Sunday, the 2d instant, at 7 o’clock P. M. the Galena came in contact with the British brig Charles, of Newport, Wales, E. Liddell, master, from Cordiff, bound to Wilmington, (N. C.) out fifty- one days, with a cargo of railroad iron ; the weather at the time was equally, with a very bad sea running. “The Galena was under double reefed topsails, going at the rate of eight miles per hour, with starboard tacks aboard ; the Charles with larboard tacks aboard, going five miles the hour, under double -reefed topsails and foresail; they struck on their larboard bows, nearly stem on, making the Charles an awful wreck in less than one minute, taklng bowsprit and foremast out, and breaking in her bow so | fearfully that she went down in Jess than | three minutes, carrying with her seven out of nine of her crew. “ Tbe captain and one man only escap- ed, they getting up the side of the Galena as the brig passed by. The G. lost jib- boom, split-stem, and broke in larboard bow from the bends to top of top-gallant forecastle, letting in considerable water be‘ore sail could be taken from the ship. The following day they repaired the breach; since then the G. has leaked a- | bout one hundred strokes the hour.” (<- He who sedulously listens, pointedly | asks, and calmly speaks, cooly answers, and | ceases when he has no more to say to the point, | is the fittest for business, and is sure to suc. | ceed.

Extract frem a letter from a gentleman in Cocke county, dated Nov. 29, 1849. “T find that the facts in relation to the coun- terfeiters of this county are much misunderstood abroad, and there are many rumors afloat cal- culated to do much injustice to this communi- ty. At adistance it is reported that most of the citizens of the county are implicated, inclu- ding some of the merchants of the village.— One rumor was that a majority of the County Court was implicated! Nothing could be more unjust than these rumors. ‘The energetic and daring efforts of our citizens to arrest these of- fenders as soon they were discovered is the best defence against these reports. Never was a sheriff more untiring in bis efforts than Maj. Fine, and never was an officer more fully sus- tained by the people. It is not true that many citizens of bigh standing are implicated. ‘There is but one man in this county accused who has heretofore enjoyed the reputation of an honest man and that is Carter, who when arrested disclosed the names of his accomplices. ‘The number of these men so fir as Cocke county is concerned is greatly exagerated. The grand jury, last week found true bills against fourteen persous, nine of whom are in custody, the oth. er five having fled. Several persons have fled against whom no bills were sent by the Attor- ney General. ‘There are several others who are suspected, but the evidence is not yet strong enough to warrant an arrest. ‘This is the whole affair so far as Cocke county is concern- ed, but I regretto say that the clan is not con- fined to this county. ‘The evidence before the committing justice disclosed the fact that the clan is very extensive and numerous in the neighboring counties. Our little sister, Sevier, has her full quota. Haywood, Buncombe and Yancy, N. C., each has its mint. Washington has its mint in the Greasy Cove! Counter. feiters out of Cocke county will do well to stay out. It is a good place for them to go from, and will continue to be so long as Ma). Fine and his big cane are in authority. “TIT am happy to inform you that Mr. Hoff, who was so dangerously wounded has entirely recovered. He attended to the duties of his office at court last week, and had the pleasure of ‘taking the bodies”’ of a few who were run. ning at large. The indictments against some of the defendants contain as many as twelve counts. That against Col. Gillet charges eve- ry offense in the 39th section of our criminal code and was found “a true bill” out and out by the grand jury !”—Knox. Register. TAXATION FOR FREE SCHOOLS. ‘The people of Indiana have declared in fa- vor of taxation for the benefit of common schools. ‘The amount of taxation to be ten cents on each hundred dollars’ worth of person- al property, The property of the State being $140,000,000, the tax will be next year $140,- 000. In addition to this are the profits of the bank stock ; the surplus revenues, and Saline funds ; and three dollars on every policy of in- surance on the property within the State.— These sources will yield about $300,000, which added to the sum derived from taxation, will make $340,000. To this are to be added all fines for violations of the penal laws, forfeited recognizances, and the interest ofmoney derived from the sale of the school lands, which will swell the entire yearly fund for free school purposes to $500,000. ‘This is a magnificent sum. Half a million of dollars a year is indeed a magnificent sum! If Tennessee had such a fund every child in the state might be educa. ted. We cannot hope that our Legislature will yield so large a fund, but a fund may be {raised which if properly applied, will confer benefits upon the rising generation and upon the state that cannot be estimated.

Once she was as active and as blooming and as fesh- ionable as the gayest of your associates. But time, and care, and trouble have been at work. She has buried one and another of her early companions. Her parents—her brothers and sisters—her husband and children have all gone before her to the land of spirits. Can you wonder that a tear occasionally falls from her eye 7—that she does not enjoy the song and the dance? Laugh not at her wrinkled face, and bended form and feeble step. In sickness no one is more welcome. No hands are more soft than hers, when she presses the feverish brow. How light she steps about the sick chamber—and how anxiously and tireless she waiches around the couch. Blessings on the head of the old lady—how could we spare her? And then too—who knows but that you may live to be old—yea, that you may outlive every face that smiles upon younow? Do you wish to become a mark of ridicule? Do you wish to be pointed as old fashioned by the young and thoughtless? Then live and conduct in the presence of aged women as though you expect. ed to*become old yourselves. ‘Treat them kind- ly—bear with their peculiarities and infirmi- ties, and labor to make them happy. No com. munity is more happy than that, where the old and the young associate—each contributing to the welfare of the other—the aged forgeting their infirmities in useful acts, and the young supplying cheerfully, all the wants of the old.

As the season for colds is approaching, I give you a remedy I have never known to fail:—three cents worth of liquorice ; three cents worth of rock candy; three cents worth of gum arabic; put them in a quart of water, simmer them till thor- oughly dissolved, then add three cents worth paregoric, and a like quantity of an- timonial wine.

THE WHIG GAUCUS At the Capitol, in this City, on the night of Saturday last. From the pen of one who doubtless bad the advantage of being present at the de- liberations of the Whig Representatives in Congress, assembled in convention at the Capitol on Saurday night last, we find in the New York Express the following interesting report of what passed on that occasion. We copy it because we have no reason to doubt its substantial accura- cy, and because we are sure that our rea- ders at a distance will take a deep inter- est in any thing that may serve to shed light upon the predicament in which the House of Representatives now finds it- self :— Nat. Int. W asnineton, December 2. The Whig Delegation gathered in cau- cus at the Capitol on Saturday evening, according to previous notice, and all Whigs proper, or Whigs quasi, then in the city, were there. A calm, collected, and unanimous expression of feeling was ex- pected, as from a band of brothers as- sembling for a common purpose, to pre- sent a common front against a common enemy ; but, much to the amazement of all, save those in secret, the Hon. Mr. Toombs, of Georgia, struck a note that startled the attention of all. On motion of the Hon. Mr. Schenck, of Ohio, the Hon. Charles S. Morehead, of Kentucky, was elected chairman, and on motion of the Hon. Mr. White, of New York, the Hon. James Brooks, of New York, was made secretary. As soon as this organization took place, and after a preliminary address, setting forth that he had well considered what he was about, and that, as a matter of duty, he could not avoid it and would not with- draw it, Mr. Toombs, of Georgia, offered the following resolution : “Resolved, That Congress ought not to pass any Jaw prohibiting slavery in the territories of California or New Mexico, nor any law abolishing slavery in the Dis- trict of Columbia.” No sooner had the Secretary read this resolution than an intense excitement was aroused ; but it did not express itself in action, or in violent words—but a discus- sion, ensued, and, as I understand, the calmest and coolest in manner, taking all things into consideration, ever known un- der such circumstances. The Whigs were not at first certain what Mr. Toombs was after—what he meant—what was inten- ded by him and his associates—but it soon became manifest that unless the Caucus took in this, as its own firebrand, and adopted it as its own, Mr. Toombs & Co. would take up their beds and walk. Mr. Stanly, of North Carolina, was the first to start in opposition ; for, as a Sou- thern man, ashe well said, there could be no doubt what he thought on these sub- jects; but this was no place for their dis- cussion—this was no time—and he there- fore moved to lay the resolution upon the table. The motion was seconded by several gentlemen, but before the vote was taken a great many speeches were made. What these speeches were, and even who were the speakers, I am unable to say with ac- curacy, but as rumor or repetition an- nounces them, and the city is full of both ; all tongues being busy in the matter, and all attention being directed to the subject. The first Northern man who had any thing to say was the Hon. Mr. Duer, of New York. He was surprised to find here an effort to found a party upon an exclusive slavery test, when the Whig party in the North had disclaimed any such test, and repeatedly declared that it considered it a national, not a sectional party, and were unwilling to found a par- ty on such a test. It was well known that the Whigs differed on the subject of slavery, as they did upon many other things as to which they had not agreed to act together, and as a national party they did not expect to coerce individuals to think alike on such exciting questions. Mr. Conrad, of Louisiana, and Mr. Breck, of Kentucky. opposed the resolu- tion. They agreed with every word of it, but it was not necessary to compel every body to agree with them, especially upon matters that might never come up for le- gislation. When they did come up, then it was time to resolve; but, before we a- greed upon a Speaker and other officers, and when we only assembled to select them, it was no time to lay out achart for legislation. It was sufficient to try and agree after it was found, first, that there was a disagreement, and then a necessity for agreement. Mr. Hilliard, of Alabama, was the first gentleman speaking who seconded the views of Mr. Toombs. If it was agreed, he asked, that the Wilmot Proviso was no part of the Whig creed, and that it was not Whig policy to abolish slavery in the | District of Columbia, why not say so, and start in caucus with such a declaration ? Other gentlemen followed, among them Mr. Evans, of Maryland, who was in fa- vor of the resolution, but opposed to any action upon it there—and Mr. Baker, of Illinois, was also opposed to all such ac- tion, and not left at liberty to vote any where for such a resolution, either in can: | cus or in the House. Mr. King, of New Jersey, also expres- sed opposition to the passage of the reso- lution here. It was no time to be distract- ing ourselves when we had a common enemy to face. Mr. Owen, of Georgia, warmly urged the adoption of the resolution. It was ne- cessary, he said, to settle the matters now. We could not act together unless they were settled. We must understand our- selves and each other. Mr. Stephens, of Georgia, pressed the adoption of the resolution in something like the same tone of argument. Ht was un- necessary now, he urged, for Northern or Western whigs to be pressing the Wil- mot Proviso upon Congress. California was about to present a constitution, which would save them the necessity there, and spare them inflicting upon the South any such mortification. When this territory was about to be acquired by an unconsti- tutional war, he opposed the war, in com- mon with nearly all the whig party, a- mong other things, because it must lead to the acquisition of territory in which, if slavery were admitted or excluded, it must jeopard the peace of this Union. As he foresaw, the very state of things, the inevitable result of the war, now existed. As to slavery in the District of Columbia —a matter in principle to the South of the utmost importance—all he had to say was, and he said.it not in threat but in sorrow, and for information, that. if attempted and persisted in by m2n who now had power —that is, the numerical majority in this Union—the Union must and would be dis- solved. The Union could not be held to- gether; it was not in the power of its best friends in the South to hold it togeth- er, if slavery in the District of Columbia was abolished by the action of Congress. Mr. Stephens begged Northern gentlemen to express their views. Mr. Brooks, of New York, said, as Mr. Stephens, of Georgia, asked for the ex- pression of opinion from Northern gentle- men, he should have his. As tothe abo- lition of slavery in the District of Colum. bia, he had, with a colleague of his, pub- licly expressed his opinion at a large pub- lic dinner in the city of New York, that it was not expedient to press any such ef- forts now. So far, on this point, he a- greed with the resolution for the time be- ing; and as for the application of the Wilmot Proviso to California, he could see no necessity for that now, inasmuch as California had passed such probibition of slavery for herself. It was one thing, however, to agree to this, but another thing altogether to pledge himself or his party friends to a negative—that is, to say what they would not do. If Maryland abolished slavery, the gentlaman from Georgia even would not object to its ab- olition in the District of Columbia. Why then pledge ourselves for all time to a negative? Then as to California or New Mexico, first, it might not be necessary to legislate at all; next, an effort might be made there to enslave Indians, Sandwich Islanders, or Mexicans, to make them work in the mines, To all that species of slavery the whole country was oppos- ed. Why then require a pledge from the whig members of Congress, who might even be in the minority, that they would not pass any law prohibiting any sort of slavery ? Mr. Clingman, of North Carolina, was favorable tothe resolution, and should vote for it, if pressed so to do: but here- gretted its introduction here, and hoped Mr. Toombs would withdraw it. Mr. Toombs said, he had well consider- ed this whole matter, and under no cir- cumstances should he withdraw it. He hoped to see it met, fairly and manfully. Mr. Ashmun, of Massachusetts, remark- ed that, though he was in favor of the Wilmot Proviso and of abolishing slavery wherever it could be constitutionally a- bolished, yet he was not for making any such things a test for the National Whig Party, and when, in Massachusetts, such a thing had been attempted at the Spring- field Convention, he, in common with Mr. Winthrop and others, had successfully re- sisted any such new interpolation into the whig creed. Mr. Schenck remarked that he would as soon vote against the converse of this proposition as against this whole subject was irrelevant, in his opinion, and ought not to be introduced into a whig caucus. Mr. Conrad begged Mr. Stanly to with- draw his motion to lay upon the table; which he did, when. he substituted for it a motion to postpone. This, amid cries of “ question,” “ question,” was carried; near- ly the whole caucus rising for the post- ponement, and only eight in the negative. being three gentlemen from Georgia, Mr. Hilliard of Alabama, and four others, whose names | have not been able to as- certain. When this vote was announced Mr. Toombs, of Gu., rose und left the room, and with him four other gentlemen, who were subsequently followed by Mr. Hilliard, of Alabama, who said he left to avoid mis- representation, but that he should take pleasure in voting for Mr. Winthrop for Speaker. . This Hegira of the five or six members from the whig caucus of course created an intense sensation. It was only spoken of, however, as “an unfortunate event, “asad occurrence,” or “assuming of a great responsibility,” “a sig of bad o men,” &c.bat no reproaches were indulg- ed in. By in the best Dereeree should be subsequently 36 ted. : The Hon. Mr. Vinton, of @hio, thi troduced the following resolutions . “ Resolved, That this meeting do, nate the Hon. Robert C.

Gers) Threatening Mr. Clay.—A man was overheard in the Senate gatlery on That?” day to express his determination to take. the life of the distinguished Senator from Kentucky, who was below in the cham- ber; whereupon he was peemptly arrest- ed by the officers and taken to the Capi- tol watchroom, and an investigation ef the matter was had before Justice beg = Captain of the Auxiliary Gaard. ‘The Sergeant-at-arms of the Senate, rt Beale, Esq., and one of the messe * the Senate, testified to the hearing of f- peated assertions of the arrested man “to kill Mr. Clay ;” and he was thereepoa* committed to the county jail for safe keep- ing for the present. We learn that die” name is James Robertson, of Baltimore, where he is well known as a harmless, inoffensive person; and that he is éyi- dently laboring under a partial insanity. Robertson is a man of low stature, and is apparently about thirty-five years old.— Republic.

Greensborough Convention.—We pub- lish to-day in detail the proceedings of the great Greensborough Rail Road Conven- tion. Wecall it great, both on account of the materials of which it was compos- ed, and the important results which, ua- less all reasonable calculations fail, must ensue from the gathering. The reader of the proceedings will be most forcibly im- pressed with the excellent spirit manifest- ed in every quarter, and the State pride, the fraternal feeling. the unity of action displayed by men who, from circumstan- ces ofea political nature, have for long years been restrained from co-operating together for the advancement of a para- mount interest of North Carolina. We now see no solid reason to doubt that the Central Rail Road will be built, and at an early day. To this consummation of a cherished scheme, the faith of such men is pledged as to place the matter almost beyond contingency.— Wil. Chromele. An Extraordinary Meteor.—On Friday evening last, soon after sunset, the atten- tion of many persons in town was attrac- ted towards the West by the blaze of a large meteor in that direction, about forty five degrees above the horizon. Some say that it shot upward, and others that’ its course was either downward, or diag- onal. But the most remarkable a re ance was that which succeeded the flight of the body. Aboutin the place where it was first seen, there was visible, for the space of at least fifteen minutes, a very bright trail of light, of irregular form, something of the zig-zag shape. It was as though a streak of lightning had been | daguerreotyped on the sky. The length of the luminous trail was to appearance three or four rods. We do not remember to have read any account of the light of a meteor remaining so long visible. We have not understood that any report was heard, but we doubt not there was farther West than this.— Wil. Chronicle. | TO CURE HAMS.

Correspondence of the New York Express. Leon ve Nicaracvua, Nov 8, 1849. GextLemMEN: The British have been, commilting some new outrages in this) of the world; and, as a conseguence, | Central America is in a high state of cx- | citement. Since the negotiation of the treaty by Mr. Squier, the British Govern. | ment, through its agent Mr. Chatfield, has been committing outrages which cannot. fail to receive the attention of the Govern. | ment at Washington. This Mr. Chatfield | as the agent of the British Government, | arrived at the Gulf of Fonseca on the 16th, of October, and immediately took possess. | ion of the Island of Tigre, “In the name of | the British Queen.” This was done ander | coves of an armed force, with cannon and | ajl the pomp and circumstance of war.— The flag of Honduras was by his orders torn down, and that of England run up and | saluted. This is not all, asuperintendent | was by him appointed, and a new order, of Covernment established. Commodore Paynter had previously ar- | rived off Realejo, in command of the Brit- | ish steamer Gorgon, but did not enter. I learn that Mr’ Squire, our Minister, , who has been very prompt inthe discharge of his duties, at once dispatched a messen- | ger to Chatfield. telling him that the Island of Tigre had been ceded to the United States, and that under the circumstances | he bad no doubt that he (Chatfield) would | immediately order its evacuation. Chat- | field replied, it is said, on the following , day, acknowledging the receipt of our Minister’s letter, and declaring that Hon. | duras had no right to cede any portion of her territory, because, first, she had not | even the right toa national existence !— And, secondly, he is understood to have | said, that she had no right to dispose of | the Island of Tigre, because he(Chatfield) | had intimated his intention of placing a. lien upon the islaud! What Mr. Squier’s | rejoinder to this impertinence I do not know. Chatfield, I learn, has written a) second letter to our Minister, declining to, evacuate the island, but promising to sub. | mit the question to her Majesty’s Govern. | ment. This was on the Ist of December | instant. Since which Mr. Squier, it is re- | ported all around, no doubt correctly, has demanded that the island should be evac- uated within six days. - Bat the outrageous conduct of this Brit- | tish agent did not end here. All the ts- | lands of the Gulf belonging to Honduras and San Salvador have also been seized ; also the ports of Truxillo and Moro.— | These high handed measures have been | taken to prevent the spread of American opinion and the emigration of American people tothe Pacific. The people of Hon- | | } duras feel that they have been wronged. | senatorial notwithstanding which they have offered | to submit all the claims of the British to | commissioners, and have pledged them. | selves to abide by the result, Bnt this | reasonable request has been met with no| sort of notice. The catalogue of abuses does not end | here. San Salvador also received a sum- | mons requiring her, at ninety-four hours’ notice, to yield to certain insolent demands | made by the British agent, to which the | reply was that they were unjust, and would not be complied with: whereupon | the ports of Acajuhla and La Union, with | all the coast of San Salvador on the Bay, were taken possession of in the name of | the Queen. I write this amid great ex- eitement, and the arming of the States, which bave pretty nearly agreed upon a plan of union. Manning, who betrayed his Government in England, has been seeking to make his own Government negotiate a disreputable treaty. The Director here told him that the first article of sucha treaty must be the evacuation of the Moschito coast and the port of San Juan by the British. The treaty made by Manning in England will not be ratified, except upon compulsion. Guardiole, a brave fellow, is at Choluca witb one thousand men, and has sent word that be is ready to march to the relief of | Tigre Island at any moment. Another! thousand men, under Barrieras and Cab. | irias, are also ready to goto the relief of San Salvador. ‘The whole country is | deeply excited, and ready to take up arms against the British Government. | ‘A Dangerous Counterfeit.—A_ gentle- man has handed to us for description, a 620 note on the bank of Georgetown, S.C,, | which is better executed than any thing of the sort which we recollect to have seen.

The whigs at their caucus determined not to nominate any one—and that every member should be at liberty:to vote ac- cording¢o his own prelerences—Mr. Winthrop being out of view. When the roll was for the fortieth time call- ed, this morning, it was believed to be for the last time. “When Mr. Giddings voted for Brown, every one supposed that there would be an election. But three Southern members whu had yesterday voted for Boyd! ‘The sen- salion was very great when Mr. Seddon and Wallace voted for Boyd. Mr. Bocock also vo- ted for Boyd. Mr. Jones, of Tenn., and Mr. Cobb, of Ala- bama, changed their votes, at the end of the ballot and voted for Mr. Brown. It thus b ned that Brown received a hun- dred and twelve votes—and the votes of Mr. Seddon, Mr. Bocock, and Mr. Wallace would have elected him, and with one vote to spare. New, as to the circumstances that led Mr. Seddon and Mr. Bocock and Mr. Wallace to change their vote and go against Mr. Brown. Last night, it seems, Mr. Holmes became a- ware that Mr. Brown hag entered into arrange. ments with the free soilers, by which their votes were secured. He stated the fact, this morning, to Mr. Seddon, and implored him to pause, until the subject would be investgiated. Mr. Seddon, accordingly, with two others, pre- vented the election of Mr. Browa on the first baHot. . Mr. Holmes had authorized Mr. Seddon to give his name to the House, if necessary, as authority for the fact that Mr. Brown had made arrangements to secure the free-soilers. In the debate on Mr. Stanley’s resolution which followed the ballot, the whole affair was brought out. It seems that even Mr. Bayly, of Virginia, had been completely entrapped, and he pronounced that the allegation of an en- gagemant or contract was false. Mr. Wilmot celled on Mr. Brown for the letter—which was read. I never witnessed such deep agitation in the House. I wish to mention that, afier the letter was read, the substance of which was that Mr. | Brown would so arrange certain committees as to be satisfactory to Mr. Wilmot and his friends —Mr. Seddon and Mr. Inge, and other gentle- men came around Mr. Holmes and thanked him, on the part of the South, for his timely in- terposition. Mr. Brown has withdrawn his name as a candidate. From a Correspondence of the N. Y. Express. W asHincTon, Dec. 12th. EXCITING SCENCES IN THE HOUSE— BROWN THROWN OVER BOARD. Scenes surpassingly “rich,” and beyond all powers of description, have ocourred to-day in the House of Representatives. Imagination even cannot conceive them, much less pen de. scribe. The “ Democracy” of the South, and of the North, the East, and the West, came together this morning, with a determiration to elect Wm. J. Brown of Indiana,—and it was uni- versally believed, that he would be elected.— Mr. Allen of Mass., (Free Soiler,) was among the first names called, and to the ulter aston- ishment of many, not of all who knew that a bargain had been made with the Free Soilers, he voted for “ Brown.” ‘This indication made it certain, how Giddings, Preston King, and others, were to go,—and all was given up as lost. The vote being through but not declared, it was ascertained by those who had kept the count, that Brown was elected by one majority, —but this was effected by those gentlemen from the South, Bocock and Seddon of Virgin. ia, and Wallace of South Carolina declining to vote, so that a lesser number of votes was ne- cessary for a choice. Seddon finally came in and vuted, but not for Brown, and Bocock and Wallace fullowed his example, whereupon a greater vote for Brown was necessary, and he was defeated. Thereupon Mr. Stanley of North Carolina, and Mr. Ashmun of Massachusetts, stated, r- mors told of pledges, Brown had given to the Free Soilers, which had brought out Giddings, Allen, King and Wilmot to vote for him.

Many speaking at once. Brown had not only killed himself by the exposure of doible and opposite pledges to Wilmot, and to the South, but by his own speech in which ingenious catechisms made him say things, that would prevent both gentlemen from the North and South voting for him. Brown seeing this withdrew his name,—but if he bad run again, he would not have got twenty-five votes. ‘ This scene lasted from 12 1-2 o’clock to 3 o’clock, when such was the excitement, that the House pretty much on all sides agreed to adjourn. ‘There never has been before in Con- gress such an exposure. The whigs feel re- lieved, and now breathe free. The chances are, that they will elect some man, but when no man can tell, nor what will be the changes. ‘Neither party now have a candidate,—and Wilmot too has declined. The’ Whigs, in their caucus, agreed {o agree upon no particu- lar man, and the Democrats threw Brown over- board in disgust,—and in such a way that it will be next to impossible again ever to bring them together, as it seems to me.

We will give them all the informa- is important to know that the two great politi. | cal parties of the Country,—the Whigs and Democrats—are very nearly tied in the House, there being a majority of only one or two De- mocrats. Now, if there were not a third par- ty—to wit, the Wilmot provisoists, free-soilers, or abolitionists, as you please to term them— | the democrats would no doubt have elected a democratic speaker, befure now. But this abo. lition party, stands, as it were, just between the | Whigs and the democrats. either on the right or the left, gentlemen: we are entitled (o a proportionate representation in the transactions of Congress: We hold the _ balance of power between you: If you elect a Speaker, we must have some hand in it: He must have two or three black stripes on his | back and about as many regular African locks on his head. His nose must be slightly flat, and his heel must stick out some. Well, it requires a majority of all the votes | Neither the Whigs nor in the House to elect. Democrats are willing to goto this squad of 14 or 15 abolitionists. They are afraid to do it: They are afraid, first, that they would not First, it | They tell members | ‘have the pleasure of ging back” to" Casgry again ; and, second, tbat it may noi be ihe for the Country to doso.

Rather than COMPrOnigg with the Whigs, the Democrats got to Work, few days back, on a regular Wilmot man : who promised Wilmot himself, that he .

But Wilmot knew him: andy it had not been for Mr. Stanly, of North Caro. lina—that hot abolitionist of the South, as be has been called by some folks—if it had not been for him, the Democrats would not proba. bly have known him until jt had been too late He scented the abolitionist and caused his a posure, and the exposure of the trap which had been so carefully and secretly set, to catch the Democrats. This is, as well as we understand the Case the condition of things at Washington, and the hindering cause to the organization of the House. It narrows down to simply this: the Whigs and Democrats will aot yield the onet the other, and they cannot elect a Speaker ug, til they do—the balancing abolitionists, boing strong enough to prevent them. But lest we should do the Representative, injustice, we will give, briefly, what they a), lege as the cause : Mr. MEADE said: The cause which has prevented the organization of the House is the fear of the intro. duction of bills before the House from ‘certain commit. tees, which will produce discussion and agitation on a question which threatens the peace and integrity of the country—bills which, if passed, will either destroy this Confederacy, or enslave a large portion of it. Mr. DUER said There were, as he had said, three parties here—neither of them being a majerity. In this state of things no organization could be effected, ex. cept by an arrangement between some two of them.— The arrangement which had been attempted yesterda could not, as he had already said, be repeated, et | therefore, it was only by an arrangement between the two great parties (using the term merely as implyi the largest in number) that an organization could be ef. fected. Mr. TOOMBS said: The difficulties in the way of the organization of this House are apparent and well understood here, and should be understood by the coun- try. A great sectional question lies at the foundation of all these troubles. [We copy only so much of Mr. Toombs remarks at present as relates to the cause of the House being una- ble to organize. That gentleman made a real gun-pow- der speech of which the above is the commencement | The closing paragraph is as follows :] Give me securities that the power of the nizati which you seek will not be cael to the rhea een constituents, then you can have my Co-operation, but | not till then. Grant them, and you prevent the recur- rence of the disgraceful scenes of the last twenty-four hours, and restore tranquility to the country. Refuse them, and, as far as I am concerned, “ let discord reign forever.” Mr. BUER, briefly disavowed any desire or intention such as had been attributed to him by the gentleman from Georgia, (Mr. Toombs,) to organize the house on sectional grounds. (Mr. D.) believed that such impu~ tations did injustice not only to him, but to nine-tenths of the Northern members on this side of the House.— He had distinctly stated that he was ready to give his vote for any Whig, whether he come from the North or the South. He had voted yesterday for a Whig from the extreme South. He was prepared to do so again. Mr. CONRAD then took the floor. He said The gentleman from Georgia who first addressed the Hovse (Mr. Toombs) had said that the same difficulty which had thus far frustrated all attempts to effect an organi- zation of this House, was the existence of a strong see- tional feeling here, and a desire on the part of both see- tions of the Union to organize the House with reference to sectional and territorial divisions. Upon this suppo- sition the gentleman appeared to have based his course | of action. Now he (Mr. C.) must be permitted to say, and he said it with unmingled pleasure, and with the utmost sincerity, that his own observation of the proceed- | ings of the House since he had been in his seat had brought him to a decidedly opposite conclusion. He tho’t on the ether hand, that the sole difficulty which pre- vented the organization of the House was the decided aversion felt by an immense majority of the members to any orgenization which was founded upon sectional or territorial divisions. And here he might be permitied to ask the genfleman whether, if it were the desire of that section of the Union which the gentleman consid- ered opposed to his own, and it were the desire of the Northern portion of this House to organize upon sec- tional and territorial principles, what had prevented its organization until this moment? Was not that section of country in a majority here? Was it not in en im- mense majority? And if it were the desire of Northern gentlemen—Whigs and Democrats—that the Hons should be organized upon sectional divisions, might it not have been organized on the*very first day, or upoa any subsequent day of the session ? THE RAIL ROAD. We perceive the friends of this Great Work in other | counties are up and doing. Guilford is active, and is shaping all her efforts to put up old Rowan to her met- | tle, and to beat her if possible.

BRING THE CONSUMER NEAR THE PRODUCER. “The expenditure of ten millions of dollars ia placing the consumer of food by the produ- cer of colion and wool would double the power of the South.”—Cuarey’s * Past, Present, and Future.” Ten millions of dollars invested in cotton mills on the Lower Ohio, where coal and food ue cheap, would result in the immediate in- crease of the home cotton market of at least ighty millions of pounds, or two hundred thou- sand bales.and would make a new home mark- et for food of at least half a million of dollars a year. " This would be but the beginning of the pro- cess of home concentration of capital and pop. wation for manufacturing purposes. In afew ears the ten millions thus quadrupled. It would be here as it has been in England, in Belgium and in New England; the manfac. turers here, as there would accumulate with rapidity, and lands and the products of lands would, here as there, rapidly appreciate. Let the farmers remember that, when the market is far away, they or their factor must send the surplus produce to the market, and that, when the market is near, the consumer erhis factor will come to their doors to pur- chase. Good land near Lowel! is worth from two to five hundred dollars the acre: near Manches. terthe price is still greater; and its average value in the manufacturing section of Belgium is about three hundred dollars an acre. The Middlesex farmer sells his beef at from twelve fo sixteen cents a pound, and his pota. toes at eighty or ninety centsa bushel. Shall our farmers be content to send their beeves to the Brighton market and pay out two.thirds of their sales in the expense of driving their beeves to Brizhton ? The wife of the Middlesex farmer can ex- change a pair of chickens, and at her own door, for eight yards of sheetings, while the wife of the Wabash farmer has to take her chickens lothe nearest town to get for them only two yards of sheetings. The Lowell manufacturer makes large pro- fisand pays high wages, and in cash down, uthe close of every week or month; the men ho get high wages can affurd to pay high prices for what they eat, while the farmers who get high prices for what they have to sell can wiord to pay high prices for land or the use of and, and still spare enough to send their chil- dren to the best schools, and then aid them in commencing the business of life. The Plough and the Loom. Wonder in the Heavens.—On Friday last, USo’clock P. M., we happened to see in the Soulh West, a brilliant Meteor accompa. wed by a phenomenon such as we never saw «heard of before. It was a durable streak of ight, of a silvery color, in the line of the me- tor’s track. It was at first perfectly straight, livided into two parts, the upper about double ‘de length of the lower, with a large luminous ot about the middle ofeach. Inabout one min- We's time each of the parts began to assume a eentine shape, and then for the next ten or Q migutes, very sharp angles were formed Wil at length it finally faded from the sight. This is the first instance we ever knew or ard of, where the meteor left a durable ligh: ebind it. How is it to be accounted for. Fay. Observer. We witnessed the same phenomenon, and We equally at a loss to divine the nature the singular apparition. ‘The appearance Wthe Meteor itself was not only most brilliant “the streak of light, in its wake remaining * fifieen or twenty minutes, was strangely "wid.

I can assure him also, that Paid read from the Asheville papers of the 7th and 8th Nov.: and certainly did not intend to make the ‘‘ editor of the Messenger” say that he was opposed to spending “‘one dollar” on the ‘Western Turnpike” east of Asheville, instead of “making one foot” (of said road) as he_ did say. I hope this will suffice for that grave offence. Now if this “grand scheme” is really changing any ‘route contemplated’ by him or any public assembly pri- or to the Charlotte Convention, where it was ably advo- cated by the Hon. J. A. Black, of S. Carolina, and unan- imously adopted, then I ask pardon again. | As for the ‘rich and fertile vales of Caldwell, Ashe, and Watauga’ so gratuitously alluded to, and which may well challenge a comparrison with any portion of the | State, Ido not see why the ‘editor’ should be so ‘stump- ed’ inthat quarter. That ‘backside of Yancy’ to which he 80 classically alludes, is not known in our part of the country ; perhaps it borders Buncombe and the Paint- Rock Mountain: at any rate, I am not responsible for it. True, the Black Mountain is in sight of the ‘Wa- tauga route,’ which route does ‘afford some of the tall- est scenery in the world’! (and some of the most beau- tifal ;) ‘and a most splendid resort for low country peo- | ple in the summer months’; and where they may also | visit the splendid caves recently discovered near the Wa- | tauga river in T’ennessee—decked with brilliant crystals; , and also the Linville and Laurel Falls, surpassed by none south of Niagara. And perchance they might take a peep at Mount Craggy in the ‘azure blue’ of the Buncombe horizon, or Carson’s Head in S. Carolina. Now, it does not require a ‘giant intellect’ as ‘that editor’ supposes, to discover all this, and if he will ven- | ture a little ‘from home,’ he will see it with scarce a particle of ‘smoke’ in the way. And further, he will see the very best road crossing the Blue Ridge any where in the State, and if the ‘heads and tails line of hogs,” is not as long on it yet, a3 on the Buncombe road, he will see, nevertheless, a pretty long train of wagons, freight- ed with Virginia salt and plaster, and Tennessee and Cranbery iron, the best in the United States ; a supply of which will be furnished to Buncombe through the Western Turnpike, if the editor will allow it to come a ‘few feet’ further. And if he is not fond of a ride on ‘that rail read’ in company with the elements of wealth, which might be esteemed a blessing to any section, why then, he can number the beautiful farms which are | spread out pretty thickly along the entire line, (except- ing about six miles at the ‘John’s River Gap’ of the ‘Blue Ridge,’ and 10 miles in the ‘Watauga Pass,’ thro’ the richest portion of the Stone Mountains. Or, he can discourse upon beautiful streams, like he does in his last number, on his own ‘Mills river,’ and which he says ‘is a clear beautiful stream, rippling over pebbles and smooth flint rocks, white sands, and reflecting the image of beautiful flowers, mossy banks, and stately oaks.’ If, however, he prefers the ‘railroad,’ I would suggest more caution, for it was a pity he knocked that ‘azure moun- tain’ out of that beantiful couplet of the poet Campbell, | reminding one somewhat of the engine which lately ran | ‘off the track,’ through some gentleman’s parlor into the children’s bed room, (excepting only the harm that was done.) Now, I would suppose that if this ‘editor’ would drive | his engine through the John’s river Gap, and take out | just enough to save a tunnel at that place, (sparing the Grandfather and the Roane which are not far off,) he | could ‘descend from that mighty achievement’ not ‘like an Ajax, spreading amazement and terror,’ but with more laurels than ever I expect to win by my humble efforts for this ‘grand scheme.’ The editor has said in that same paper of the 8th of Noy., that ‘a rail road must come to Buncombe,’ and a week later exhorts the ‘citizens of N. Carolina, one and all, to put theirshoulder to the wheel, laugh at seeming impossibilities, and cry it shall be done.” Now I have not said a road ‘must come’ to Caldwell, or cried that it shaH be done, nor will I cry if it is notdune. Ihave given some reason why a rail road should be built from Salisbury through Caldwell County to Jonesboro’, Tenn., and am willing to aid in its construction; andif, aftera full examination of the facts, and weighing fairly the great interests of the State, the Roanoke, the Cape Fear, Yadkin, Catawba, and ‘State of Buncombe,’ the editor’s project should be adopted by the State or a well organ- ized company, I will aid him in carrying it out; and I feel quite sure that the citizens of my county will do the same. the Watauga and Jonesboro’ route, if adopted?

The following are among the di variet of human diseases in which the WEG LIFE MEDICINES are well known to be inf lible : : DYSPEPSIA, by thoroughly cleansing the fisst and second stomachs, and creating a flow ef pyre healthy b.le, iustead of the stale and acrid kinds FLATULENCY, Loss of Appetite, Heartburn, Headache, Restlessness, Ill-temper, Anxiety, Languor, aud Melancholy, which are the geneml symptoms of Dyspepsia, will vanish, as a natural consequence of its eure.

It is well known to hundreds in this city, that the former proprietor of these valu. able Medicines was himself afflicted with this complaint for upwards of THIRTY-FIVE Yf£ars; and that he tried in vain every remedy i within the whole compass of the Materia Medica. He however at length tried the Medicine which is now offered to the public, and he was cured in a very short time, after his recovery had been pre- nounced not only improbable, but absolutely im- possible, by any human means.
