Wlicn lie did, however, he sprung' for his rifllo, and had scarcely turned again before an enonuous grizdy bear broke through the bushes and "dashed directly at him. His own rifle was a single-trigger, that of his companion's a double, and in his confusion lie had seized his companion's instead of his own, iihaf when ho attempted to fire, the trigger not btjngprojerlv set, his etfort was useless..

It has been remarked by an rmihent man, whose enlightened nnd spirited Inbors for tlie welfare and glory of North Carolina will form an interesting porlionof in r luture History, " that the character of the country was principally indebted for its elevation and lustre to tho elevation of her public men."- Andpereapsjlic Voice of cahn and impartial Irea. son may sufely pronounce the decision that it would be a vain and. impracticablo attempt to aim at making known the characters of the meritorious citizens of any community, without having first imparted to the world a perspicuous and tangible revelation of its resources of .Literature arid Sci. ence." It is a mournful fact, in connection with Ac history of thiVStata," that she has suffered immense privations of character and fame from the' Want of a faithful and accessible organ, through which her devoted sons might communi. cate to the world those biogpaphicalfincidents and historical and literary fragments which have been garnered up in the archives of private affection, and which are so closely associated with' the glory of the people. In this respect, we are tar m the rear, nf other States in the Confederacy, which can prefer no just claim to a superior rank over XMonn Carolina on account of the vaster ,rxtent of thoir moral, intellectual and physical resources.
