Great humbuggery, " The Superiority of the Present Age," is the subject of an Address delivered before the Franklin Literary Society of Mr Horner's School at Oxford, N. C, by Frank I. Wilson, Esq., of Raleigh, a copy of which we have received. The past age is rapidly reviewed and compared with the present, in order to show the superiority of the present over the past. If we single out any par- . ticular characteristic of the Address, we should J mention that of its practical common sense.

The Columbia Carolinian has a very clever correspondent at the White Sulphur Springs, Va., in one of whose letters we find the following paragraph: Gov. Adams and Mr Yancey have some sym pathizers here, in their slave trade and agitation schemes; but we find the spirit of a large majority, who are not specially out-spoken, is more conser vative. We bear it hinted that there is a pros pect of some Yankee arrangements to kidnap the free negroes of the North aud sell them to the Southern planters no reason existing why they, who arc without right under the Dred Scott deci sion, should uot be as properly reduced to slavery as wild ones from Africa. If the slave traders are willing to encourage wars in Africa, they will show more chivalry and pluck in finrhtinsc the rascally abolitionists, who are protecting the free negroes against their best interests. The free negroes of the North are fair game, and the abolitionists should be whipped into surrendering them; if they are not, they will constantly steal the new im portations. Possibly, instead of being whipped, they may find it to their interest to sell these out laws to the South. The argument of humanity will be concerned in civilizing and. making useful the lazy and worthless free negroes of the North, who are now puges consu mere nati born to cat corn. .toMM - Camp Meeting. The Camp Meeting at Bethel, on Charlotte Circuit, will commence on Thursday preceding the 4th Sunday in August. Agriculture in Switzerland. A recent traveler in Switzerland says of farms and farming in that country, that no good terraced land can be had there for less than $400 to 700 per acre, and the quantity of such land is one per cent of the en tire territory. No man owns more than 10 to 15 acres of such ground. In that country invesments are more for security rather than profit, and 2j per cent, is usually satisfactory. An Indian Hat tie. St. Louis, Aug. 1. Advices from St. Joseph of the 30th, state that a band of Omaha Indians had been attacked on the plains by a large party of Sioux, and seventeen killed and the same number wounded. The Omahas took five Sioux scalps. The fight took place on the night of the 23d, about one hundred miles from Decatur, in Nebraska Territory. A Platform for the South. The Black Republicans are very anxious that the South should let them prepare s platform for it. They assert that the South should insist on a Con gressional slave code for the Territories, au4 should go for the repeal of anti-slave trade laws. Of course, nothing would so delight them as a committal of the South to the two issues the first practically an absurdity, the latter practically an impossibility. Some of our Southern cotompo raries very verdantly arc for being made tools of by the Black Republicans. Columbia Carol ttnoan, A M arrti Mi Man. An old negro by the name of David, who stays at the Oxford (X. C.) Poor House, and who was carried from South Boston, to Little York, during the Revolutionary war, and was there enlisted as a soldier, sard was afterwards wounded in the leg while in an engage ment, lost his wife on the 12th ult. She died in the 95th year of her age; he is 103 years old. Six days after the burial of David's wife, he was again joined in the holy bonds of matrimony, to an old negro, who is iu the 95th year of her age, thus assuaging the sad bereavement, caused by the demise of his former venerable spouse.
