maii- Pox. There has been no new
case of this disease. The gentler-an who
wJB jj0re siik with i week before last (and
bo was immediately removed from town)
is nearly well. No one else is sick, and,
we said last week, there is not the least
dald'it v that the disease will break out
pr
;n this community. jjjis w;is not appre
hended from the first. By the adoption
of proper measures on the part of our Com
mitsiooeri we do not see how the disease
could pi toad in the town; and we learn that
the town authorities had intended to take
prompt action if any new case had occur
rv,. It is natural for people to become
alarmed and afraid to iit a town where
the disease is supposed to exit, but in nine
casci in ten the alarm is without cause.
From the traveling facilities through thi
town it may be expected that a case will i stated some two months ago; one of which
occur occasionally; but such does not en- was, that it would be time enough to dis
danger the community w hen proper steps cuss the merits of a man after he was noini

have been circulated through th country j the democratic party are concerned, we
within the Ia.-t week are everyone false, ex

heretofore published.
It has beea 12 days since the first case,
and it' any one else had contracted the dia
taae it would have shown itself before now,

TRADE, daring the ast week, has been j

t market, and brought gond prices. Cot- j

informs us that he sold more goods last

have been held in forty or fifty counties,
we think, and we bare taken pleasure in
marking the unanimous voice of approval
cf the administration of the present Execu

tion with h-i c urse and acknowledging
liie commanding abilities of the man.

manner in which he baa discharged his re

Raii.Uo.u Sl'BSCRIPTIOX. The County
Court of Rutherford has again ordered an
election ti be held on the proposition to
make a Countv subscription to tho Wil

road. $60,(J0U is the amount proposed this
time. The polls are to be opened on the
first Thursday in May.
Hard to Kill. We should judge that a
hog was a bard animal to starve to death from
the following incident related to us by a gen
tleman in this place, for the truth of which he
Touches. On the ItHhof December last a
drove of lings were put in a lot for a few
days. When driven out one was missing,
and could be found nowhere. On last
Saturday, it was found at the bottom of an
unoccupied ice house on the lot, supposed
to have fallen in there by ranting under the
boarding. When taken eut it was alive.
but very poor. Our informant thinks there
fas no possible chance for it to have gotten
anything to drink for the space of nearly
l'it months. There was a little wheat
straw around it which probably preserved
its life for so long a time.
CF Among the appointments confirmed
by the U. S. Senate on the 0th, we notice
the following in North Carolina: YVm. B.
Flanner to be Surveyor of Customs atYil
niingsnn; Edinuud Wright, Edenton, and
0. S. Wright. Ocracocke. to be Collectors,
nd Win. II. Peden naval officer at Wil
uaguNi. The Senate, on the 12th. confirmed the
f appointment of EL P. Dick, Esq., as
district Attorney for North Carolina.
CF The Daily Carolina Times, at Col
umbia, S. C, has been temporarily sus
pended, to be resumed again, says the pro
prietor. as s,, as Sati:factory arrange -tnts
can be made.
CF We see it stated that the Hon. Ed
ward Everitt will deliver his Oration on
Washington, at the N. C University, some
tune during this month.
NOMINATION.
We have been frequently asked why we
do not express a preference for some one
as the next democratic candidate for Gov
ernor. We have, also, received several
communications favoring different individ
uals. We are unable to see how an expression
of our preference for any particular indi
vidual is of the least importance to the
democratic party; and while it would proba
bly do no good, it might be productive of
harm. We have refrained from advocating
the supposed claim? of any one not because
we wi re afraid of giving offence to any in
dividual or combination of persons, for we
have always had a will to do as we pleased
and say what we thought ought to be said
without regard to who would like it or dis
like it those who have not already found
this out will learn it prohably in the course
of time. We are always ready to pay re- j
spectful attention to the suggestions of
friends, (in fact we like to hear the opinion
of party friends.) but it is for us to decide
whether we ought to be governed by those
suggestions or not ; knowing where the
blame will be placed for a wrong or impru
dent course.
We have not published the communica
tions sent us on the subject for the reasons
don't believe in that doctrine at all. 1 Here
may be some to whom the democratic party
is particularly indebted for success, but
they are few in number and far between.
Generalh', those having the best cluims
are never thought of. So far as we are
concerned, we desire to treat all good demo
crats alike, and let Conventions of the
party say who shall be leaders.
Without umpires of some kind no party
can be kept harmonious and united; there
fore the question of who shall be the demo
cratic candidates in the approaching cam
paign should be settled by Conventions of
the party, fairly constituted and organized;
by such decisions we are willing to abide,
' and are determined to d nothing to fore
j stall action in the premises.
Those friends who have sent us commu
nications on the subject for whom we en
tertain the highest respect, and appreciate
j their motives will thus learn the cause of
the non-appearance of their articles. We
; hope to see them nil in attendance on tho
State Convention to bo held in this place
on the 14th of April, when and where a fair
opportunity will present itself for a candid
expression of opinion and preference
tW A democratic meeting in Wilming
ton passed the following resolution with re
gard to the nomination of a candidate for
Governor :
Resolved. That we respectfully recom-
mend to the State Convention, that the
delegates from each county cast the same
Miiiiilier of votes in Convention, tliat their
County cast for the Democratic candidate
for Governor, at the election held on the
first Thursday in August. 150."
We suppose that tho two-thirds rule
will also be adopted.
Congress. There has been but little
business transacted in either House since
the commencement of the present session.
Under the appropriate head we give a
sketch of such proceedings as take place
from week to week. It is pretty certain
that the Senate will soon pass a bill ad
mitting Kansas under the Lecompton con
stitution, and it is considered equally cer
tain that the House will do tho same. Thus
it is hoped that the country will get clear
of this troublesome question.
A proposition to increase the Army has
been under discussion. The northern mem
bers are opposed to au increase of the standing-
army for fear that the President may use
it to make the free-soil rascals in the Ter
ritories behave themselves, while the south
ern members oppose it under the apprehen
sion that it will be employed in subjugat
ing the South at some future time.
The W ar Department recommended an
increase in order to employ a more effective
force against the Mormons.

enough to volunteer his services as a cor

ever we want, a coriesponuen m mm ."-.
ter we will select one. Such sclnnes as
this are resorted to for the purpose of
having some book, or something else, puffed
without incurring the expense of adver-
tising. A short time since we received
one of these communications with a state
ment that somebody in New Y'ork was pre
paring a Pictorial Biography of distin
guished and worthy citizens of North Caro
lina. We have no doubt it is a catch
penny and cheating scheme, and wo warn
North Carolinians against it now. Those
who figure in that book, (if anything of the
kind is published.) will have to shell out the
dollars pretty freely to the publisher or
author. Everybody remembers how a man
by the name of Livingston fleeced some of
the lawyers in this State by asking for a
biographical sketch of their lives, and then
charging them fifty or a hundred dollars
for publishing it.
CF The Southern Commercial Conven
tion at Knoxville, last summer, appointed
Montgomery, Ala-, as the place, and the
first Monday in May next as the time, for
the next session of the Convention.
CF We learn from the Fayetteville Ob
server, that the County Court of Cumber
land, in session week before last, refused
every applicant, except one, for license to
retail spiritous liquors.
CF" The Virginia Legislature adjourned
,ime die on Saturday night the 6th instant.
Gov. Wise called an extra session imme
diately, alledging that the Legislature had
not transacted important business which
could not be left undone.
Militia Mcsters As Virginia is re
viving militia musters. Tennessee is giving
them up. An act to abolish military duty
has been passed by the present Tennessee
Legislature. Under this act the tax as
sessors are required to make out a yearly
report of the strength and condition of the
militia in each civil district, to be trans
mitted to the Adjutant General of the State,
in place of the reports heretofore required
of the captains of militia companies. Rich.
Dispatch.
In this faction of North Carolina militia
musters have been allowed, by common
consent, to die out completely rust up
as a piece of useless and time-killing
machinery ; and we are inclined to the
belief that the people are about as well
prepared to do effective service in case of
emergency, as if four or five days in each
year hud been spent in " trainin' " under
militia officers in the old field. It has been
affirmed by army officers and we think
with a ,,ud deree Df truthfulness that
a positive injury is often done by this old
field training ; often requiring more time
and trouble to unlearn, than it would to
learn the subject. We believe in keeping
up uniform, volunteer companies; for the
reason that, when under command of, and
drilled by experienced officers, they nt
only render more efficient service, but
do more to disseminate correct military
knowledge by one day's parade, than a
year of old field training could possibly do.
UtT He is a bad man that can't do right
sometimes. Henry Winter Davis, the
member if Congress from Baltimore, gen
erally does wrong; but he did right the other
day when he made a speech in tho House
of Representatives defending the action of
the Naval Retiring Board. The action of
that Board may have borne hard on some,
but the good it did overbalanced the evil.
For many years the Navy was clogged with
drones and old fogies, either unfit for ser
vice or too lazy to work.
The feeling against the action of that
Board has been gotten up by the dropped
officers themselves, or by their relatives or
particular friends. It is natural for those
to wince whom the shoe pinches, therefore
we are not surprised at the anathemas hurl
ed against the Naval Retiring Board.
The Army needs purging in the same
wav; and were it not for the fact that the
officers of the Army and Navy have too
much influence with members of Congress,
we might hope to see something done to
relieve the other branch of tho service of
some of its rubbish.
We have no special objection to the politi
cal death of Senator Douglas, but we must
confess that we cannot see that he ought
to be denounced for opposing this scheme
of the Democratic Senators. Why should
the south work itself into a fury to hasten the
admission of Abolition States ? And why
should Mr Douglas be denounced for
wishing to prevent or delay such admission?
It seem.- to us that one such State at a time
is quite enough. FayettevilU Observer.
Kansas ought to be admitted because she
rbas applied for admission in t lie regular
way, anil the fact that she is to bean aboli
tion Slate does not justify opposition on
the part of southern men, any more thiin
the admis-i f a State with slavery would
justify the opposition of northern men.
Hut the principle involved in the question
is what southern men contend for: shall
Stutes be admitted into the Union when
their Constitutions recognize slavery i his
is the only question of vital inter St to the
South involved in the Kansas imbroglio.
To relinquish this right is to degrade the
guth; to ignore this principle is to dis
solve the Union. By admitting Kansas, a
vexatious question will thus be removed
from the balls of Congress. We have never
denounced Senator Douglas ; but believe wo
r-ould not have been far from right if we
had done so, considering his present posi
tion and factious opposition to Administra
tion measures, which place him, for all
practical purposes, in the ranks of the ene
mies of the South.
Fakmer's Bank of Elizabeth City.
Last week we published au extract from
the Greensborough correspondence of the
Petersburg Express, stating that $60,000
belonging to the above Bank, bad been
found concealed in a safe owned by Mr
Griffin, former Cashier of the Bank. The
Elizabeth City Sentinel says it is author
ized by the officers of the Bank to say that
the report is false, and originated in the
simple fact that Mr Griffin, in the presence
of the Cashier of the Bank, opened a private
safe in the Bank, where he used to keep his
valuable papers, and found therein a pack
age of Blank Bank Bills, to the amount of
1 $60,000, not filled up, and of course not
money. The finding of the $00,000 in
blanks, however, fills up, within a few dol
lars, the difference in the number of bills
issued and the number stricken off from
the plates. It was feared they had been
signed and issued, and no entry made of
them. We take the above statement from
the Petersburg Express.
We h am from the Salem Press that the
Farmer's Bank of Elizabeth City is making
arrangements to wind up. It lias been as
certained that all the liabilities of the Bank
will be paid off, and the Stockholders will
receive seventy cents on the dollar. This
estimate is made, allowing a loss of $60,000
for bad debts. The bill holders are said
to be in no danger of any loss.
A Man Burnt to Death. A corres
pondent of the Petersburg Express an- j
nounces to that paper a shocking occur
rence which happened in Northampton
countv. Mr Amos Langford came to his
death under very painful circumstances.
After he had retired to his bed on Tuesday
night, the room in which he lodged was dis
covered to be on fire. His neighbor.- bast
eued to the spot and found his bed-room
fire and the door locked. It was forced
on
and the body of Langford found
nDfn
burnt to a crisp, and in a very snon ume
he expired. It is supposed that bis death
was the work of his iwu bauds. Ho was a
merchant in that county, and ha 3 been ad
dicted to excessive drinking.
It is said they have a great religious
revival in New York. Ne placa is more

Congressional.
In the Senate, on the Sth, Mr Wilson's
resolution, instructing the military com
mittee to inquire into the propriety of
amending the law punching the crime of
enticing soldiers to desert, was adopted
Mr Green intimated that he would call for
a direct vote on the Kansas question next
Monday. The Kansas discussion was re
sumed. Mr Doolittle replied to Mr Ham
mond, and Mr Foster followed. The Sen
ate then went into executive session.
In the House, Mr Taylor, of Louisiana,
offered a resolution of inquiry into the facts
attending the seizure of the bark Adriatic
by the French. It contemplates a redress
to the owners of the bark, and the preven
tion of similar proceeding". The printing
deficiency bill, appropriating; $340,1)1)0,
was passed. The- Consular, Diplomatic
and Kansas bills were di-cus?ed. Mr
Clingman of N. C, asked leave to intro-
duce a resolution appointing a select coin- ,
mittee of five to revise the rules of the are preparing a statement under oath, that
House, and to make Bach provision as they gave testimony before the investigat

The Sneaker annotated Mr II. M. Shaw, of
N. C, to fill the place of Mr Harris, of III- I
on the select committee of investigation in
the Matteson case.
In the Senate on the 9th, the bill for the , search of his wife and been sent away with
relief of Commodore Jones was passed, out her. Like a similar case in New York

sed, when Mr Hamlin occupied the floor
until the hour of adjournmont.
In the House, Mr Quitman's bill for the
increase of the aimy was discusse d at some
length. It was opposed by Mr Faulkner.
He said he was opposed to sending volun
teers to Utah. He believed if placed at
the disposal of the Executive, he would not
find occasion t use them. He thought the
proposition for the employment of volun
teers was dictated by outside pressure
rather than by convictions of sound mili
tary policy. He contended that the em
ployment of the volunteers would be ap
pealing to the passions of the country and
setting a precedent of carrying death and
dessolation to our citizens, prolific of most
disastrous future consequences. The war
in Utah was a war against a people on ac
couut of their religion whoever is engaged
in such a war, whether volunteer or regu
lar, would be guilty of murder. The Ex
ecutive has plainly said he does not want
volunteers.
Kansas affairs were resumed. Mr Keitt,
of South Carolinia, argued from constitu
tional grounds in favor of the admission of
Kansas under the Lecompton Constitution,
and in the course of his remarks he stated
his belief that the people cannot, according
to the terms of the instrument, change it
before 1864.
Mr English said the Lecompton Consti
tution does not embody the will of the peo
ple of Kansas, and they do not wish it fast
ened upon them as their organic law. All
the snecial oleadincr. because the techni-
cal'ty is
opposed to ue on tne omer siue,
is too much like Shylock, who exacts the
pound of flesh because it is named iu the
bond.
Mr Phillips advocated the admission of
Kansas under the Lecompton Constitution,
and considered that the proceedings of the
Convention were regular, according to the
established principles, recognized prece
dents, and according to what some gentle
men regard as good authority. Congress
has no right to hesitate a moment as to her
admission.
In the Senate, on the 10th, a resolution
was passed compensating the representa
tives of Senators Butler. Bell and Ku-k,
from the time of the death of the latter.
The resolution to print 10,000 copies of the
patent mechanical report was discussed.
The resolution was amended limiting the
book to one volume of 800 pages, and pas
sed as amended. Messrs. Hamlin nnd Se
bastian discussed Kansas affairs until the
hour of adjournment.
In the House, the Committee nsked leave
to present a majority Kansas report, which
was objected to. In committee of the
whole the House discussed Quitman's army
appropriation bill. Mr Stephens endeav
ored t introduce a report from the Investi
gating Committee, which was objected to.
He said he should move to print the report
notwithstanding the objection. Mr Quit
man's army increase and Kansas bills were
discussed until the House adjourned.
On the 11th, nothing was done in either
House, except making speeches for and
against the admission of Kansas.
Oh the 3d inst., Hon. Warren Winslow,
of North Carolina, made a speech upon the
Naval Restoration Bill.
On the 12th. in the Senate, the Kansas
matter was discussed. In the House, a
joint resolution was passed authorizing the
men engaged in the search for Sir John
Franklin to receive medals from Great
Britain.
Sudden Death. We regret to hear,
says the Fayetteville Observer, of the sud
den death, by apoplexy, of Dr. Edmund
McQueen, of Lumberton, N. C We learn
that on Tuesday morning last he stept from
the breakfast table to his piazza, where he
fell and almost instantly expired. He was
a gentleman of general intelligence, and
of high reputation as a physician.
Newspaper Honesty. The editors of
the Rochester (New York) Democrat, state
that during the twenty years that that pa
per has been published, there has accumu
lated au indebtedness on its books iu sub
scriptions of $50,000.
This sum is, in itself, a sufficient fortune
for any reasonable man. And the state
ment shows haw little honesty is considered
1 neccessary by men in their intercourse
wi:h newspaper proprietors as though to
cheat a printer were not as great a crime
as to cheat a shoemaker, or u grocer, or a
habei da.-ber.

L ATE FROM UTAH.
St. Louis. March 12 The Council
Bluffs Bugle, of the 3d. instant says that
Mr Wingate has arrived froci Salt Lake,
which place he left on the 2.1th of January.
He reports that tliere was no snow in Salt
Lake Valley, but a little in the Mountains.
He came by a route known only to the Mor
mons, and by which horsemen in single file
can pass by the army undiscovered. The
Mormons were manufacturing small can
non, with percussion locks, telescope
sights, aud carrying two pound balls with
as much certainty as a common rifle.
They were also making 500 revolve is per
week, and coarse powder for mining pur
poses. A skirmish lm occurred between
the Mormons and a picket guard of the
army. Two of the fomer aud four of the
latter reported killed.
FROM KANSAS.
St LOUIS. March 9. The Republican'
contains information from Kansas, that, an ;
atteuipt had been made to abduct the Judges
; elected at the Delaware Crossing, to pre
; vent their giving evidence. One man was
killed. The clerks of the Shawnee precinct
a ,Hter frmm p,.rt Scott says that place
wus takeu by Lane's men, who were rob-
binir the stores and stealing horses. No
lives were lost.
Married but not Matfo. Another
husband has been in the N. York courts in
Fox having married a Miss Lizzie clandes
tinely, and, as it seems, after the ceremony
very foolishly permitted her to go back ti
her mother, from whom she concealed the
fact. In the meantime the young lady re
pented her hasty step, and when her fond
husband came to claim her, she utterly de
l ied that she was married to him. Mr Fox
supposing that she was under the intimida
tion of lier mother, sued out a writ of habe
as corpus, when the young lady on her ex
amination adinittod that the marriage had
taken place, but declared she wanted noth
ing to do with her husband, and would not
go with him. She consequently went home
with her mother, and Fox found himself
married but without a wife.
Estate During Widowhood. The
Macon (Ga.) Telegraph thus refers to a
decision made by the Supreme Court, now
in session in that city :
"A case of some interest to the ladies
was decided on Friday morning last. Sav
age, of Dougherty county, died, leaving a
will which devised his property to his wife,
but in the event of her marriage, to go to
his children, thus cutting off the wife with
out a shilling. Gen. Morgan, the counsel
for the widow contended that this provision
in the will being in restraint of marriage,
was contrary to the policy of our law, and
illegal, but the Court held that a man had a
right to h ave his property to his wife dur
ing her widowhood, aud cut her off if she
married and that the Savage will was
legal.
Diplomatic Arrangement. A Wash
ington correspondent of the New York
Tribune telegraphs that paper the follow-ig-
"It is well understood, here in the most
intimate circles of the President's friends,
that immediately on the adjournment of
Congress. Mr James Gordon Bennett will
receive his commission as United Stales
Minister to Austria."
We have the the best authority for stat
ing that there is not a word of truth in the
above. If the Black Republicans suppose
that Mr. Buchanan will cast such a stigma
upon this country . bv the appointment of
James Gordon Bennett to a foreign mission
they will be very much mistaken. Wash
ington States.
E3F A correspondent writing from Hali
fax county, X. C, to the Petersburg Ex-pre.-s,
says:
The dwelling house nnd kitchen belong
ing to Miss Betsy Jenkins, residing seven
or eight miles from Gaston, near the Raleigh
and Gaston Railroad, were consumed by
lire on Tuesday night, and about 1.000
pounds of pork, which had been hung in the
kitchen for smoking, was also burned."
Marriac.es. Let people prate as they
will, the woman was never born yet who
would not cheerfully aud proudly give her
self and her whole destiny into a worthy
hand, at the right time, and under fitting
circumstances; that is when her whole heart
and conscience sanctified the gift. But
marriage ought always to be a question,
not of necessity but of choice. Every girl
ought to be taught that a hasty, loveless
union stamps upon ner almost as foul
dishonor as one of those connections which
omit the legal ceremony altogether; and
that however pale, dreary, and toil-some a
single life may be, unhappy, married life
must be tenfold worse an ever haunting
temptation, an incurable regret, a torment
from w hich there is no escape but death.

To the bouquet of beauty it gives a new zest,
Is the pride, of the tuilet aud the perfume of love.
