(Jovi-rnoi always eiijoyi'ii a story’, and could toll

preii.-nt, and the Uovemor, recognizing iiim, said:
“Ah, ves. I’ll tell you a good story of Spooner:
The other day he came up to Albany, on his way
to the whig convention at I'tica, and so he took it
in liis way to call on me to get a pardon tor a
convict at Sing Sing I heanl the ca.se, examined
the docuinonts, and being sati.stied that all was

literature of the State
. At the lime of its delivery it was highly coui-
nieniled and I am glad .Mr Mcl^;iiiiid yiohlt'd to
tho ro|Ut“st of the “Cicoroiii;in Society” and had
it jiublished
“Kun, speak to tliis young man,” is the text
from whlcli the iliscoursi* was iloliviTt'il Ihe

Those ar>> some of the jioints made in the dis
course; but till' strength and lu'auty of the efiort
lies in tho filling up—the painting over—in
thoughts that breatln and words that burn, and
carry convii'tion to the heart anil conscieiicc. As
a specimen of the simjdicity and elegance ol the
author’s style, I copy the following: —
“III. Adopt a mint///, promiit,
ihtertniiKiJ performance of what is rhjht. .^Ien
ol’t»*n hmnr the n'l/ht and aj)jirorf it too; yet have
not tin? moral courage to do it. IMlate was con
vinced of tho Saviour’s innocence, yet he dareil
not to roleasv him. Agrij»p.i knew the superior
excolleiico of the Christri:in religion, but he had
not tho courage to embrace it. Many of the
Scribes and IMiarisees knew tha^ .lesus was the
protuised Mossia'i, but they were ijnr'if to ron-
fess him. A roirrtr//i/, iiiri/Ziifiiii/ spirit, that
crt'uches to the l:iin''n n'rouij, and hesitates to do
r/V/ZtZ in the face t)f ildin/rr, is as great a reproach
to any per^.ou’s character, as it is rrimhinl and
hiiti'/ni in the sight of God. Tfiis has been, iu
every a>£o, tho enemy of virtui* and piety. It
ought to be abominated wherever soeti \ vain
adulation may be its present reward, as in the
case of I’ilate, Agrippa, Herod, and many others;
l»ut this, like the f'fufin'tiis and hunors, bestowed
by the Persian' a coinj’ien'cl General, for three
'Ueeessivt' days prior to his execution, is only a
pompous prelude to riiiii. l>ut for this hutiful
ruir,ir./i  of spirit, that shrinks from confronting
errur, and turn- traitor against the truth, never
would oui;^world have been cursed with uiultitudes
of those evils which have obtained dominion, and
are producing effects over which, the pious heart
heaves a pensive sigh.
Hut, while to this detestable cowardice is at
tributable the successful establishment of many
of the greatest evils that afflict soeit'ty, and mar
the true glory :ind happiness of man, to that
noble, luaguauimous spirit, whieh dares to do
ri'jht, cost what it may, is attributable the intro
duction, perpetuation ai»d diffusion of those prin
ciples, which give to the world what moral glory
it possesses, and to communities, whatever of
loveliness they exhibit. As illustrious examples
of it, for your imitation, I point you to the his
tory of Jo.seph, who, when allured to do wromj,
in a very powerful manner, said, “How then can
I do this great wickedness, and .sin against God”:
to .Micah the prophet, who dared to prophesy the
truth to the king, though it cost him imprison
ment and suffering: to Dmiel, who would not
swerve from duty, though it cau.sed him to be
ca^t into the lions’ den: to tho three Hebre-ws, who
refused to bow down to the image which the king
had set up, though, as the conseijuence of their
refusal, they were east into a fiery furnace, heated
seven times hotter than it was wont to be heated:
to Moses, the illustrious leader of Israel, who
chose rather to suffer affliction with the people of
God, than to po.s.sess the Egyptian monarch’s
crown: to Paul, aud the Apostles of our Lord,
who, when they suffered for the truth, rejoiced
that they were countel worthy’ to suffer in such
a cause These, and many others who adorn the
pages of history, po.s.sesscd and exhibited that
noble courage, which has encircled their charac
ter with a glory untarnished by time, and en-
richcd the world, in all coming ages, by the pn'n-
riples they have transmitted, and the example
they have presented. “Kun, speak to this young
man,” that he be bold to embrace, vindicate aud
practice, at all hazards, what is r'ujht."
With your permission I append one other ex
tract, exhibiting his powers as a pathetic pulpit
orator:
“Hut, the chief bles.sedne.s3 and advantage of
true and eminent i’iety will be realized in eternity.
The end crowns the action The present scene
of things will at length terminate. The Arch
angel with the judgment-trump in hand, will ap
pear on the wing, descending from heaven to this
worldl As he comes, he will blow the tremend
ous bla.st, which will publish the Decree of the
(Jreat God,—the end of all thinjs is rome! At
the dread sound, the curtain of Time will drop,
and Nature stand aghast! The sun in the hea
vens—stop his course and drop his beams in
endless nightl The moon, wrapped iu a crimson
shroud—shine no morel The stars, extinguished
—fall from their orbits, as the ripe figs from the
tree when shaken by a mighty wind! The sea—
roar a solemn dirge, of wild death march waves,
upheaving, and bearing on the foaming billows,
its drowned millions to the wave-lashed shorel
The Earth, reeling and (juakiug, convulsed by
rending earth-quakes,—uncover her entombed
myriads, and from liattle-fields and Grave Yards,
pwftrms of resuscitated persons, awoke from the
slumber of ages,—start into life, and hasten to
the awful Judgment! The world draped in the
sombre garments of mourning—utter forth its
last, and death-like shriek! The stupendous
Frabric of Nature, at who.se birth, the morning
stars sang together, and all the sons of God
shouted for joy,—whose wonders have engaged
the study, and kindled tho admiration of men in
all generations,—fall into di.ssolutioni Fire de
scending from (Jod out of heaven—ignite, and
enwrap the prostrate ruins! O what a catas-
trojihe! What a sight to behold!
Where then will be that vain show—those
honors, riches, pleasures, which allured so many
from the claims of God? Gone—all gone forever
—not a vestige of them left, except the conse
quences of the inordinate love, pursuit, and em
brace of them! Man will remain, with the char
acter he has constructed, whatever that may be!
Then will be seen and realized, the grand differ
ence between the righteous and the wicked—be
tween him that feared God, and him that feared
him not. Then will the righteous receive their
Diploma, with this brilliant inscription, “Well

letter (says the R'lleigh Standard) from a broker
in New York to a gentleman of this (’ity, shows
that North-Carolina stooks are lo4ing up The
letter is in reply to one requesting the broker to
purchase for him some North-(’arolina State
bonds. He says:
“/>» 'ir Sir: — Yours of tho I9th, with acheek for
dollars, was duly received. I regret to say
1 have not as yet been able to buy any North-
(^aroliua bonds; there are none iu market; they
are in great demand. A short time since they
sold at .S7*, and now I do not think they can be
bought at !».t. Par was the asking price to-day.”
I npnccilentfid Price for Tobacco.—A friend
in Lynchburg, writing under date of Wedne.sday,
July *2U, says:
“Enclosed I send you a saruple of tobacco sold
here to-day for the unprecedented price of 8310
per hundred pounds. It was raised in Caswell,
N. (J., by Mr Wm. B. Kowe, ami .sold by Col.
J.-iiues A. Hamuer, Commission Merchant of this
place. Tyree, who sold tho S’J7.’> tobacco last
year, will have to pick his flint, and try again.”
We presume we can now assert, without fear
of contradiction, that this is the highest price
ever paid in Virginia, or the Cnited States.
Petersburg Kxprrsf
lieautif'ul New Wheat.—A beautiful article of
new white Wheat, the lot comprising some “2000
bushels, was dispo.sed of yesterday by Messrs.
White, Davis iV llardee, at 81,75 per bushel.
The wheat was grown by T. P. Burgwyn. Esj., of
Halifax, N. C. It is a portion of one of the most
prolific crops ever made—1800 bushels having
been realized from 4S acres of land—being about
oS bushels to the acre. It stood when in the
field over .six feet high. Glorious Old North
State!—1\'(. Express.
Tobacco.—A lot of tobacco rai.^ed in North
Carolina by Charles Hendrick, was sold in Lynch
burg, Tuesday, at 81*21 per hundred weight.
,4 Lover of Derotion Rciranleii.—A pleasant
affair occurred oti the steamer TenneRstee Belle
last week, on her way up to Cincinnati. A gen
tleman had been courting a lady who had 845,000
iu her own right. She had refu.sed him several
times, and repulsed his attentions on the boat.
At Carrollton, Ky., the young lady took advantage
of an hour's delay of the boat to go ashore with
her aunt and see the town. In returning on
board, she fell into the river. Her ill-treated
suiter plunged in and rescued her. That evening
the passengers ou the boat assembled to sec the
Kev. B. C. Snodgrass, of St. Louis, unite the lady
to her dovoted lover.
Cominij Along.—M. Vernet has calculated the
orbit of the comet recently discovered by a Berlin
astronomer. He appears to be approaching the
earth so rapidly that it will soon present a fine
object to the naked eye. At present it is believed
that it is not Charles the Fifth’s comet, of which
there has been so much talk, and destined to
come into collision with the earth on the 13th of
last month. Its position is in the constellation
Perseus. The comet wonderers can now start a
fresh excitement.
The M iss Bremer beautifully expresses
a good wife’s duty:
“If you learn the seriousness of life, and its
beauty, also live for your husband; be like the
nightingale to his domestic life; be to him like
the sunbeams between the trees; unite yourself
inwardly to him; be guided by him; make him
liJ^PPy; and then you will understand what is the
best happine.s.s of life, and will acquire, in your
own eyes, a worth with God and with man.
Ftx the Date.—At a concert in Wisconsin, at
the conclusion of the song, “There’s a good time
coming,” a country farmer got up and exclaimed,
“Mi.ster, couldn’t you fix the date, that is what
we want—^just give us the date, Mi.ster.”
Won't Die.—A Sacramento ((]al.) paper says;
Dr. Newson, of Red Bluffs, has a big rattlesnake
in a jar, which he has attempted to starve to
death. The snake has had nothing to cat since
last August, but now weighs two ounces more
than when put in.
^4 Soarimj .4j?.s'.—M. Godard, whose attenapts
at balloon-ascension in Boston last year, were not
very successful, has recently met with better luck
in Philadelphia. On occasion of his last excur
sion, a small jackass was attached to his balloon,
which, to its infinite astonishment, was borne
aloft and over the river to Pennsville. The ad
miring crowd looked on in sympathy.
A Mr. Rowe, of Lancaster, Pa., has obtained
letters patent for a newly discovered process for
preserving green corn. It consistg in removing
the pith from the cob while yet green, and then
drying the ear. Corn thus preserved is said to
retain all its peculiar sweetness.
Education and Relhjion.—Within the borders
of the United States are 80,000 schools, 5,000
academies, 334 colleges, aud 3,800 churches.

Number is a n«w and revised edition ol the North
Carolina Header, first puhlished in I80I. Numbers 1
and 2 just issued, complete the series, which is, as a
whole, che.aper than any other series of Readers in the
United States, and as complete.
The Editor (Prof. Hubbttrd) in his Prefnce to Num
ber I ileems it proper to allude to a few of the peculiar
advantages aimed at by the Superintendent of (Common
Schools while making etforts to have this work com
pleted. These are,
1, T/te encduriiffernent of 1 ferliuy of .ii'lf-ii>‘peudeuC’-,
and the enlistment of popular sentiment in behalf of
the State and its institutions. It was not thought im
portant, however, to have more than one number of
the Readers of merely a local interest.
2, To remtdy t/ie evil ei eri/ic/iert- cuinplained of in com
mon ■tchool.'i, of u perpetual chunfff in text bookx; an ex
pensive habit, aud one which injures the Schools by
preventing the children from being classified. A se
ries of home Readers, it was supposed, would be cer
tainly used, and this great evil thus avoided.
3, Economy, the popular system of Readers being
too long and being made so often merely to ;id(J to
the profits of authors and publishers.
This series is to consist of fewer numbers than
those generally used, and it is be!iev*^J that these
numbers are sufficient, while if the system were uni
versally used in the State, the sum saved to parents
and children would amount to seveial thous.ind dollars
annually.
4, To put in the hands of cfiildren learniny to read corn-
positwnt suMcient/y familinr />ut not of the character cal/i'd
childish compositiom, containing, in lessons easy enough
for all ages, correct specimens of style, interesting in
matter, and inculcating proper morals, and religious
instruction.
The prices are, for No. 1, *25 cents; No. ‘2, 37J cents;
and No. 3, 75 cents. -V liberal deduction from these
prices to Merchants and School Teachers.

j In conclusion he says, -‘I am of opinion thu’
this is one of the best coal mid iron ore drpo.it>-
! ever yet discovered
I He estimates that four very large blast Fur
naces, costing in all ?220,000, will clear a profit
of 8750,000 a year in working this ore.
Appended to the.se Reports arc several analyse.-
and tests, of the coal, made at New York, Fater-
son, Brooklyn, and Philadelphia, fully establish
ing the conclusions at which Professor Jack.oi,
and Mr. Wilkes have arrived.
We will only add tha# our Rail Road to thb
great section of the State is steadily progressing,
under the several coatracts for grading; and that
there is an encouraging prospect that uegotiatioii'
for the iron, which have been entered into, wih
result quite as satisfactorily as the best friends of
the work could hope.
Distribution and the Tariff.—We hav^;
been rath«r surprised to hear, that in some part;
of the contested Congressional districts, persocr
have been frigbtened with such a ghost story as
that, if the proceeds of the public lands should be
distributed among or deposited with the .^tatC',
there might be a necessity for an incrca.se of the
lari AT, to raise revenue enough for the support of
goverumeut. This is a mere electioneering stur).
for which, in our deliberate judgment, there i«
not the sligbest foundation.
It is a problem yet to be worked out, whether,
in a year or two, the pre.sent lowered tarifi wiii
not produce ‘is much revenue as the latt higher
tariff. All experience ha.« shown, that import:-
of foreign goods are increased by diminished du
ties. Who would have supposed, in looking at
the seventy-four millions of dollars of import?
in 1829, the first year aft^*r the p-assage of the
high t-ariff of 1828, aud tho suventy millions in
1830, (both years showing a large decrease trom
the seven previous years,) that under the coin-
paratively low tariffs of 1840 to 1849, import
would have swelled in 1855-G, only 25 year*
after, to three hundred and fourteen millioL-',
just four and a half times as large imports; an^
that the revenue would have swelled from twenty-
two millions in 1829 and 1830, under high du
ties, to sixty-five millions iu 1855-6, under low
duties? Such has been, and will be again, the
effects of reduced duties. They will, in any way
in which they can be fixed, short of the absurdit)
of free trade, produce more money than an hon
est government needs, or can spend judiciou.'*ly
There is now a balance in the Treasury about
sufficient to pay off all the national debt; and it
would be paid off therewith if if were due, or it
the holders would consent to receive their money
with a reasonable premium.
The revenue collected last year from all sourct"
amounted to sev?nty-four millions of doUar-
Deduct from this the nine millions received from
sales of lands, and there would still be sixty-tivc
millions of revenue left; or, suppose that live
millions, or even ten millions, should be lost tor
the first year or two of the new tariff, there would
still be fifty-five or sixty millions left. If that
be not enough for any honest administration,
for any democratic administration (they are uot
synonimes by any means,) then we would a.sk.
how much money are the people willing to tru?'
their rulers with, to throw away iu corrupting
the Mattesons, the Edwardses, the Gilberts, auJ
the Welches, of Congress?
We repeat, that there is no need to incroa'f
the tariff, or to raise more revenue in any wa}’;
unless the people be willing to lend a hand to th^
corruption of the government in all its branches
As to ihe land question, we do not mean to
argue that again. It is so plainly the right ot
the States, all the States, to have an equal share
of that which is now given away only to the
favored West:—it is so manifest that the depl-'-
tion of the Treasury to that extent would go thus
far to purify the moral atmosphere of Washing
ton:—and it is so equally manifest Jhat the
blessings of education and internal improvenieut
would be scattered broadcast over the land if that
amount nnr
