Dirri'tlOff OP LABOR- When the labor or producing power of a State or nation, is not too much concentrated, in any one or two occu pations. but is diffused in due and reg ulnr proportion, amongst those profes sions that control civilization, 6uch a State or nation is, then in its most pros* perons, happy, powerful, and intelli gent condition. ' It will be equally lamed for its wealth its jjowers its labors, its letters, its science and its arts. This constitutes the most approved state of society, which it is the duty of government to establish and cherish. The more close and attentive exami nation of this interesting subject, the more conclusively will be established the position, that the modern principles and practice of free governments, the amelioration and refinement of society, the advancement of civilization; and the cultivation of the high intellectual pur* suits; have grown out of productive labor, and the multiplication of the ob jects of its exercise. It has been judged from experience and admitted by the best authorities. that the labor of twenty-five persons, will procure «U,the common necessaries of life as food, driufc, apparel, housing, furniture, &c., tor one hundred persons, this supposition takes the articles as | coarse, though plentiful and good—one half, it may be -supposed, from being too old or too young, sick or infirm, will produce nothing. There will then remain about twenty five individuals of every one hundred, capable of working, who are necessarily Idle or non-productive. Now on the quantity and quality of the employment with which these twenty-five Individ- uals are occupied, depend the wealth, power, intelligence and degree of civil zation. When that portion, which is employ- Ed in creating materials, products or values, find full occupation, and is pre dominant, the wealth is on the increase; contentment and ease, comfort and hap piness, are in the power of each indi vidual to obtain. The reverse of this state of productive inclngtry, brings on a lamentable change in the affaire of government. In proportion as the em ployment of this class diminishes, pro. dnction or wealth doclines; circulation becomes dull, languid and stagnant, embarrassment and difficulties surround traders; poverty and misery assail la borers ; being idle, they will naturally become vicious, and oppressed by pau perism, thoy too commonly become crimiual. The materials for riots, and civil com. motions; tho ready instructions of de singning demagogues, are formed and accumulated, to the hazard of all good citizens and the safety of evil govern, ment. If in distribution of labor, the greater portion be occupied in agricultural and manufacturing industry, a State or nation will be wealthy and prosperous but not enlightened, if engaged in arts, letters, scieuces, it will be distinguished lor its writers, poets, philosophers, his. torians, orators, statesmen, sculptors and pniuters. If arms, bo made their trade, the peo ple will become warlike, and will be renowned for heroes, commanders, and warriors. The nobility of England is supported in the magnificence and splendor of an illustrious rank by inordinate salaries, attached to petty and mostly tuelets • offices of Btate, autl by enormous pen sions and extravagant senicures. Are we not rapidly approaching this conditio j in North Carolina, and are not taxes being levied on the industries and productive members of society, to pamper the luxury, and glut the pride of the idle and productive. All the ills that universal experience has shown to be the oonoomitants of want ot employment, are increased, and can only be avoided, by opening np new occupations, aa the old disappear. Lftt capitalist then be encouraged to invest in manufacturing at home, every product of the country, which will give employment to all industries and open up n new era in the old North Stnte. More anon. Co. SHOPS, N. C. fith July, 187*. The Columbus (Ga.)/a?wtfrer, of the 6th instant, says: On Saturday last Mr. W. and Miss S., young and hand some, left Auburn lor Opelika' to be come man and wife. They had no pa rental sanction; but love laughs at that when a railroad is near. Arrived at their destination, the gentleman soon procured a Ueense and minister, when the marriage ceremony began. It had gotten as fcr as the joining hands, and the words making them one almost an nounood, when the fair one perempto rily backed out, and no persuasions could induoe hgr to go further. The pair retained to Aubnni unmarried. The newspapers state that a well known banker of Paris has absconded, leaving n deficit behind. Jfrs. Parting ton thinks that it was very good of the poor man to learn it, when he might hare got off clear with everything. IIOLLOW STSUCTTTRM.— Nature teaches tu one of the grandest lessons in her econ omization of structureeand materials. The stems of water plants are hollow and of va rious sections, as cylindrical, angular or farrowed. Many of them, as all know from the revealings of the microscope, are of cellular or tabular construction. Examin ing the stem of a young dicotyledon cut icross, we find the inner portion full of rad iating cells of fibro-vascular bundles, of wedge-shaped section, the pith occupying the center. If we minutely examine these vascular bundles we shall find 1 a layer of cells traversing the bundles; on the In side of, this, toward., the center of th« stem, the cells form the proper wood of the fibro-vascular bundle, and on the outer side, toward the circumference, the cells are closor and more compact. The layer between these portions is called the Cam* Mum layer, and the stem of the oak and other svoynu is strengthened by continual increase of wood fiber outside this layer, or the fiber of the stem. We might go on il lustrating, from a variety, of plants, tho re markable adaptation of stems to their hab itats and conditions of growing; some tri angular in section, as in various water grasses, sedges, etc., exposing only an an gle to the flow of the stream; others square and round in section, of beautiful »yroe try, and which man has imitated in the art of construction, and in casting his metal into cylinders and shafts. Not only in stems of plants and grasses, but in the bones of animals, we find the tame hollow structure developed. In the ease of birds, where lightness is most nec essary, the substance of the Hollow bones is remarkably thin. Take a feather. What j a wonderful union of strength and light | uess is there in it! We find this hollow uess particularly evident in that end of the I feather at which the muscles act, or at the I short end of the lever. , Leaves show a similar adaptation of mat ter. Some leaves exhibit deep furrows or ribs which support tbe membrane or tissue, and give it • stiffness to withstand the pressure of the wind. Others have their surfaces indented or voluted, or formed of two or more convex lobes, thus giving rig idity to them. Again, shells and other or ganic forms possess cellular and corrugated parts in which the material is distributed to the best advantage. We have not been slow lately, to avail ourselves of these les sons. Our tubular and cellular bridges, our is>n vessels, our columns, and shafts of machinery, our iron roofs and walls, are in stances of the employment of hollow and corrugated forms, and the extent to which they are applicable and may yet be employ ed is almost co-equal with the whole field of inventive genius.

July Mm. C. 8. C. ADVERTISEMENTS gg AiMvfiVJlllliirl Dr. J. Walker's California Yln egar Bitters are a purely Vegetable preparation, made chiefly from the na tive herbs found on the lower ranges of the Sierra Nevada mountains of Califor nia, the medicinal prdperties of which are extracted therefrom without tjio use of Alcohol. The question ifl almost daily asked, "What is the cause of the unparalleled success of VINKGAR BIT TERS!" Oar answer is, that they removo the cause of disease, and the patient re covers his health. They are the great blood purifier and a life-giving principle, a perfect Renovator and fnvigorator of the system. Never before in tho hratory of the world has a medicino been compounded possessing the remarkablo qualities of VIMKOARBITTBRS in healing the Sick of every disease man is heir to. They are a gentle Purgative as well as a Tonic, relieving Congestion or Inflammation of the Liver and Visceral Organs, in Bilious Bißeasea. The properties of DR. WALKER'S VISEOARBITTKRA are Aperient, Diaphoretic, Carminative, Nutritious, Laxative, Diuretic, Sedative, Counter-irritant, Sudorific, Altera tive, and Anti-Bilious. Grateful Thousands proclaim Vnr- EGAR BITTERS the most wonderful In vigorant that ever sustained the sinking system. . No Person can take these Bitters according to directions, and remain long unwell, provided their bones are not de stroyed by mineral poison or other means, and vital organs wasted beyond repair. Bilious. Remittent and Inter* mittent Fevers, which are so preva lent in the valleys of our groat rivers throughout the United States, especially those Of the Mississippi, Ohio, Missouri, Illinois, Teunessee, Cumberland, Arkan sas, Red, Colorado, Brazos, Rio Grande, Pearl, Alabama, Mobile, Savannah, Ro anoke, James, and many others, with their vast tributaries, throughout our entire country during the Summer and Autumn, and remarkably so during sea sons of unusual heat ami dryness, aro invariably accompanied by extensive de rangements of the stomach and liver, and other abdominal viscera. In their treatment, a purgative, exerting a pow erful influence upon those various or gans, is essentially nocessary. Thoro is no cathartic for the purpose equal to DR. J. WALKER'S VINEGAR BITTERS, as they will speedily removo the dark colored viscid matter with which tho bowels are loaded, at tho samo timo stimulating the secretions of tho liver, and generally restoring tho healthy functions of the digestive organs. Fortify the body against diseaso by purifying all its fluids with VINEGAR BITTERS. No epidemic can tako hold of a system* thus fore-armed. Dyspejpsia or Indigestion, Head - ache, Fain in tho Shoulders, Coughs, Tightness of the Chest, Dizziness, Sour Eructations of tho Stomach, Bad Tasto in the Month, Bilious Attacks, Palpi ta tation of tho Heart, Inflammation of tho Lungs, Pain in the region of the Kid - neys, and a hundred other painful symp toms, aro the offsprings of Dyspepsia. One bottle will prove a better guaranteo of its merits than a lengthy advertise ment. Scrofula, or King's Evil, Whito Swellings, Ulcers, Erysipelas, Swelled Neck, Goitre, Scrofulous Inflammations, Indolent Inflammations, Mercurial Affections, Old Sores, Eruptions of the Skin, Sore Eyes, etc. In these, as in all other constitutional Dis eases, Walkkr's Yiseoar Bitters have shown their great enrativo powers in tho most obstinate and intractable cases. For Inflammatory and Chronie Rheumatism, Gout, Bilious, Remit tent and Intermittent Fevers, Diseases of the Blood, Liver, Kidneys and Bladder, these Bitters have no equal. Such Diseases are caused by Vitiated Blood. t Mechanical Diseases.— Persons en gaged in Paints and Minerals, such as Plumbers, Type-setters, Gold-beaters, and Miners, as they advanco in life, aro subject to paralysis of the Bewelft. To guard against this, take a dose of Waius's Yis kqak Bitters occasionally. For SVin Diseases, Eruptions, Tet ter, Salt-Rheum, Blotches, Spots, Pimples, Pustules, Boils, CaHnucles, Ring-worms, Scald-head, Sore Eyes, Erysipelas, Itch, Scarfs. Discoloration! of the Skin, Humors and Diseases of the Skin of whatever name or nature, an literally dug up and carried oat of the system in a short time by the use of these Bitters. Vim, Tape, and other Worms. lurking in the system of so many thousands, are effectually destroyed and remoVed. No system of medicine, no vermifuges, no an thelminitics will bee the system from worms like these Bitters. For Female Complaints, in young or bid, married or tfcgle, at the dawn of wo manhood, or the turn of life, these Tonio Bitters display so decided an influence that improvement is soon perceptible. Cleanse the Yltiated Blood when ever you find its imparities bursting through the skin in Pimples, Eruptions, or Sores: cleanse it when you find it obstructed and sluggish in the reins; cleanse it when it is foal;your feelings will tell yoa when. Keep the blood pure, and the health of the system will follow. tl. H. KcDOHALD * CO.. Dn%gMs aad Gob. Agta, Saa PranciMo, CaUfanrf* ■ad ear. of Washington and Charlton St»., N. T.
