'I'll I 'I Ai I S. — W«> havt' two letters coinplaininLr
ot’iiiail dt‘raii!_"i‘nieiits l>y w'noh the Observer has
failt'il to r. acli Mihsi‘rilitrs in Montgdiiiery arul
rhatliam counties. The Montgomery failures
arc said to liavc been caused by failures of the
Sali in mail to eonneot at (’arthaire and Page’s
station—probably ineident to th' late change of
i iintractors, and not likely to occur again. The
horse mail from this place to Troy, by New Gilead,
alsd failed onee, owing, we believe, to high waters.
'I'he failures in ^hatham are said to bo owing
to the ill-seleeted time of departure of the new
route between Ualeigh and Carthage. We hope
wo have remedied this by sending all our packets
for that route to Tarthage, whore they will ar-
riijt' on 3!onday night, in time to go by that mail
HI Tuesday morning.
If the evils are not remedied, we would like to
be advised.
T?ank of (’larkmK'N.—At the annual meet
ing of the stockholders of the Bank of Clarendon,
on Monday last, the President’s Report showed
the institution to be in a prosperous condition,
with a surplus fund of 844,000, with no known
bad debt, and without having lost a dollar bv a
bad debt during the four years of its operation.
The former Directors were re-elected, viz; John
n illiams, A. A. McKcthan, N. A. Stedman,
r S. Lutterloh, H. Lilly, W. McLaurin, and A.
Johnson, Jr.; by whom John D. Williums was
f' -ub>o.juently re-elected President, John W.
, .'^andford Cashier, Wm. Warden Teller, and Jas.
'IcCiilvary Book-keeper.
Thk I MVERsiTY.—We by no means said, or
intended to saj-, as a respected correspondent
st'ems to have understood us, that the family of
Dr. Wh eat was the only one among the Faculty
that >howed attentions to the Students in cases of
Mi'kness. Others had done so both before and
'ince I>r. Wheat came there. But before that
time, as the number of students was small, so
wi Tt* ca,»es of sickness infrtMjuent. Trebling th*‘
nunibt^r of studeuts naturally increased in a cor-
respondi’ig ratio the cases of sickness, while there
was scarcely any increase in the Faculty. And
wt intended to express what we had often heard,
that thf family of I>r. Wheat acted a prominent
[•art in the labor of love to the sick—“beginning”
thfir aits of kindness soon after their arrival there,
ii.it bei:inning the practice of nur'iingsick student'.
:i' we appear to have been understood to say.
'oRRECTioN.—The friend who reported for us
the examination exercises of the Fayetteville Fe
male High School, in our la.«t i.«sue. Jtlonded the
subjects of two addres.'ies by two young ladies into
'•no. Me meant to say:—
The .''.ilut.itory Address wa-s graceful and ap-
prnpriate. “Hope, its pleasures and final re.«ult,”
w.Tf beautifully described.” Insteail of. that the
''alutatcry Address described Hoi>‘. \c.
Tiik l.iQi oK Tax.—It will be seen that the
Attormy General, in the following letter which
wi' cojiy from the Standard, sustains the view
taken in this place of the tax on li«juors.
Since our publications on the subject, we have
learned that "King Alcohol" ruled in the last
Leirislature so despotically that the only wonder
i.'^ that the ta.v was not thrown out altogether.
KALEinn, N. C., July 1^59.
f/ijyi. I>. 11. ( 'oiirtii, Piih. Treax. of K. C.:
My I>kar Sir: Vours of the 7th instant, ask-
intr my opinion as to the construction of the 17th
."eetion. Schedule A., of the late llevcnue Law, in
reirard to ^jaritous litjuors, itc., has just been re-
l eived, and I ha-steii to reply.
1 am if opinion that all pcr>ions who are tax
able under tiie said 17th Section, will have to list
thi amount «if their jmrehases fron» the first day
"fJuly, to the first day of July, Is')'.*,
in the same manner and at the same time that
they li.'t lands, pulls, and other subjects recjuired
to be li>t‘d to the Magistrates in ScheduL A—
the tax to be collected when the taxes upon the
"fher subjects listed at the same time are collect
ed. It may be said that the State will lose the
tax upon liquors for one year by this construction;
but this, if true, could not alter the law. liut
• this view arises, 1 think, from a misapprehension,
1't under the Revenue Law of 1856 and ’57 all
licjUor dealers have paid taxes upon their pur-
‘ hases Irom the 1st of July, 1857, to 1st of July,
1^ )'', and now they arerejuired to list their pur-
fh;it s from the first of July, 1^5X, to the first of
July. Instead of listing to the Sheriff as
rt ijuired in the Revenue Law of 1850 and '57,
- ind paying the tax when they list, they are re-
■ juired to list to the Magistrates, and the time of
payment is postponed for 12 months. The
amount they will have to pay must be governed
by the late Kev. Law, and not by the law of 1850
and '57. I know there are different opinions en
tertained in regard to this matter, but after a
careful examination of the subject, I have given
you the conclu.sions to which 1 have arrived.
Vory respectfully,
WILL. A. JENKINS.
Thk, C A.ND Atlantic Railroad.—The
N.-wbern Fntgress disproves the Wilmington
Journal' >tatement that the Directors of this
Koad apjiointed by the Governor are of the same
political coniplection a« tlieir last year’s predeces
sors. 1 he I’ru-rcss rives all the names, showing
that last year the Mate apjiointed tliree Whigs
and five l>cmocrats; this year two Whigs and six
I'emocrats. The Progress also complains that
three old Democrats, who had dcelared that they
would not make Internal Improvements a political
matter, were displaced; and adds,—
"If our friend of the Journal will come over
hi will find there is as much or more indi;natioii
aitiong the Democrats about the efforts which have
I" • ti made by a cliqtie to turn this Road int(j a
(Militieal machine as there is among the opposi-
*ionists.”
The Canvass in tue 1st District.—We
have regretted to notice the existence of a very
violent feeling in the North Eastern Congress
ional District. Having, as one of the evidences of
this, copied an account of a personal rencontre,
we feel it due to the editor of the Express to
give his statement of the affair as follows;—
From the Kdenton Kxprets.
TO THE PUBLIC.
A personal difiiculty having taken place be
tween Henry 31. Shaw and myself, at Coleraine,
Bertie county, on the 1st inst., duty to myself
requires that I should let the public know the
catise of the course I have seen proper to pursue.
On arrival of the steamer Stag from Franklin
Depot, ou Wednesday evening, June liOth, the
following note, from a friend, was handed me;—
Gatesville, June 29th, '59.
Mr. Davenport; Dear Sir;—Dr. Shaw said
at the discussion on yesterday, in the Hall Dis
trict, that the Express was a mean, dirty, con
temptible sheet, find that the editor was a black
hearted blackguard.
Your friend, *****
Having received this note, I deemed it my
duty to repair by return boat to Coleraine—the
first accessible point at which I could see Dr.
Shaw—to ask an explanation and to call upon
him to make the amtnde honorable. I did so;
and he acknowledged the truth of the above note
and refused to amicably recall the above uncallel
for and gratuitous attack upon my private charac
ter. Whereupon I gave him such a public chas
tisement as his impudent and insulting language
deserved; and so far as that matter is concerned, 1
am well satisfied.
C. G. DAVENPORT.
Edenton, N. C. July 5th 1859.
P. S.—Since writing the above, I have learned
upon reliable authority that at the discussion at
White’s Store, in Bertie County, on the 2nd inst.,
Dr. Shaic 4ooh ndvanlnge of mt/ahnence to sihxxsG
me in an ungentlemanly and mendacious manner;
and that too while Dr. Shaw knew that both he
anJ. myself were under bonds to keep the peace
towards each other; and a knowledge of the.se
facts would have been suflScient to have prevent
ed any high toncJ honorable gentleman from
using any language calculated to provoke a difii-
eulty, whereby lie has virtually violated that peace
which his bond was intended to preserve.
I take occasion here to say that at no time
when 1 have been present at a discussion has Dr.
Shaw alluded to me personally or otherwise or to
the Edenton Express.
A Question Settled.—In the contest be
tween Gen. Leach and Mr. Scales a question has
been much discussed as to what document Gen.
Leach read from in one of his speeches. Certifi
cates have been published from bystanders of
both parties, which left the matter in utter doubt
and uncertainty to those who, like ourselves, were
not present and do not know the characters of
the signers of the certificates. But the Salis}>ury
Banner settles the question. It says,—
“The Iredell K^^press contains two certificates
in relation to the political discussion at Fraley’s,
tin' one for, and the other airainst Gen. Leacli;
and we submit to all candid men who have read
both, if the whole publication does not render it
manifest that the cnssiny (.ieneral did try to de
ceive the audience.”
The Banner takes especial good care not topub-
lUh th mp ccrtifiraten that prove so uiuch against
Gen. Leach and in favor of Mr. Scales—conclu
sive proof that the certificates were regarded :is
insutficient to make a ca.se against Gen. Leach.
If they had been against Leach, the Banner would
have published them, and allowed “all candid
men” among its readers to see both. Whenever
any thing damaging to the party appears, demo
cratic papers generally know how to triat it—
suppress the documents and give their own ver
sion of it.
The Salisburj' Watchman, the Whig neighbor
of the Banner, did publish both certificates, not
being atraid lor candid men to read both.
“What it costs to he (iovekneu.”—The
Raleigh Standard of yesterday reviews the pamph
let with this title, and corrects some errors in it,
so it saj's. \A e do not think it material to ex
amine whether the Standard has not itself perpe
trated some in correcting others. Our only ob
ject is to note the fact that the SUindard admits
that the expenditures for fsftS were 1,585,(507
70, from which it deducts 89,0s4,5l^7 99 of pay
ments on account of the public debt, leaving, as
the Standard says, $71,901,121* 77 as the actual
expenses of this economical party for one year s
administration of the government under President
Buchanan.
The admi.s.sion should be borne in mind.
\ Kf.ETAHLKs,—We think this has been the
tiii^t 'c.-f-on for vegetables that we remember.
I'Aerv thing irrows luxuriantly. The large.st and
finest panel of tomatoes that we have seen were
' 'it to Us yesterflay by (’ol. \\ addill, from the
I ;i\eftcville Hotel garden -suggestive of plea-
iiit and bountihil provisitm at that extensive es-
'■'■•li'hiiieiit.
* 'ii ION Rki'kii'I's.—‘{,010j075 bales, against
I bales last year. Increaae 021,741 bales.
More Extravagance.—It was lately an
nounced ofl&cially at Washington that the expen
ses of the general government for the year ending
on the 1st inst. were 800,396,580. But a letter
from Washington says that this amount did not
, include the five millions for the Post-Office de
ficiency, recently admitted to exist, nor other large
items to be developed. It is hard to get at the
truth.
Wise and Dou(jlas Read Oit of the
Party.—The Washingtjn “Constitution,” the
official organ of the Administration, devoted its
leading article on Friday to reading out of the
Democratic party those shining lights, Gfv. Wise
and Senator Douglas. The “States,” also a Dem
ocratic paper, attributes the article to a member
of the Cabinet, and says “a more injudicious ar
ticle could scarcely have been written. It excites
indignation against that journal wherever it is
perused.” But the Constitution, the day after
this plain language, devoted two and a half
columns to enforce its denunciation.
IlKiHER JjAVV Tritmimiant.—A party of
abolitionists have been under indictment in the
U. S. Court in Ohio, and in jail, for forcibly res
cuing a slave from the owner and the T. S. au
thorities, at Oberlin in that State. In retaliation
they trumped up charges of kidnapping against
four Kvntuckians. The IJ. S. Attorney in Ohio
has been so faithless to his sworn duty as to en
ter a uoU, proxrifui in the Oberlin cases, on con
dition that the same course should be pursued to
wards the Kentuckians. This is a great outrage.
(jLEN Anna Fkmalk Sk.minary.—We have
received a catalogue of officers and students for
the current year. The latt».‘r nuniber L‘i9. The
School is free from debt and apj)t*ars to be flourish
ing. The Greensboro’ Patriot gives a pleasant
account (copied into this paper,) of the thriving
village in which it is located.
A Pennsylvania Patriot.—A citizen of
this town some yei;rs ago formed the acquaintance
of a wealthy literary gentleman of one of the
beautiful villages in the vicinity of Philadelphia.
Some more than ordinary courtesies received at
his hands, and the discovery of a broad national
patriotism, made it more than a casual acquaint
ance, attached the North Carolinian to the warm
hearted Pennsylvanian, and led to an occasional
correspondence, the last occurrence of which is so
pleasant and so patriotic, that it is submitted to
the Observer for publication. We take the lib
erty of appending the name of the writer, in the
belief that the reader will be glad to know a
Northern Whig patriot who writes so well and so
nobly.
The reader will recollect that Gen. Nash of
North Carolina fell in the battle of Germantown in
1777, gallantly fighting for the liberties of his
country. A bouquet of flowers gathered from the
spot accompanied the letter.
Germantown, 18th June 1859.
My Dear Sir;—I received, this morning, your
letter of the 14th. Immediately upon reading it,
I went to the “Battle-ground,” and gathered the
enclosed, within forty feet of the front-door of the
old “Chew Mansion,” from the top of a small
mound covered with flowers, which mark.s a spot
occupied by our troops in their vain endeavor to
dislodge the enemy from their strong position
within the “House.”
May God bless you, my dear sir, for your ef
fort, whatsoever its degree, in the cause of the
Union,—that Union, in which, under Providence,
“we lire, and move, and have our being.'’
There are fanatics everywhere. They abound
in the North, and you are cursed with them at
the South; but, surely, it is not in the power ot
such to give character to a peoplel To me, indi
vidually, the rights of the South are as dear as
the rights of the North—both, equally, national
in character, and covered by our glorious Consti
tution; and 1 would visit with punishment most
condign, any infringement of either by the wretch
ed political agitators and adventurers, who, un
fortunately, are the pesti> and the curses of /ree
Hocietyy in all places and at all times. Intelligent
and honorable patriotism—and there is no true
patriotism without honor—will check their evil
influences, and North and South will be one
people, now and ever, as they were in the times
that “tried the souls” of the founders of the Re
public. As a grandson of one of these, in their
name, I bid you, and all true men, (iod speed in
the destruction of the unnatural barrier that mis
taken zealots, knaves and abolitionists, have raised
between your hearths and ours.
I wish you a very happy celebration of the Day;
and I send you a toast for the occasion, while, in
: heart. I will embrace every honest man who may
! be pre sent, as a friend and a brotherl
The immortal memory of General Francis
! Nash; the State which holds, and guards, his
i lioiKTi'cl ilust. an proudly cherishes his heroic
i character, .t* does the State that wa.s, nobly, for-
; tunate in his birth.'
I Yours very truly.

Our to the Sun-hreeze is unfurl'd once again,
•\nil its tStars and its Stripes glitterhrijtht in its thvs;
.\nJ it spreads its broad folds over hill and o'er plain.
As they spread o’er our Fatliers in battle's fierce blazel
Then shout, as it rises, that old war-cry once more,—
The cry that gave vict’ry ou land and on sea,—
That the reign of t’orruption forever is o’er
“In the land of the brave and the home of the free”!
With the “North State.■' we claim the van in each tight;—
The old Svlvan .''tate from her side ne'er will roam; —

j To the glory of both each prefers its fond right,
I Hi>th now and for aye, through the ages to conie!
I Then unfurl the jiroud banner and hold it on highi
I Neath that glorious standard we'll stand, or will fall:
I We nwear to protect it, unsullied, or die,
j For its honor is glory and fame over a!!I
' Frum the field on whose soil, where they poured out
each life,
I T5old N.^sh and his heroes, from their sweet sunny

The FLowKRs as they bloom’d on the mound by the wave;
They will stir the warm blood, in its still gushing

To tiow o'er the hearts of the noble and bravel
Oh! steadfast, i .mted, and faithful, we'll stand;
No sectional ties shall control our free voice,—
We claim to he felt as a patriot band.
Defiant of party, in the freedom of choice:—
Let the prayer then ascend to the Seat of all Power,
That bravely and firmly we may ever discharge
The stern duty imposed upon every hour;—
Advancing in wisdom as perils enlarge!
Then onward! speed onward, and spread to the gale,
The time-honored banner our Fathers onco bore;
And fast to the mast-top the star spangles nail,
Till Reason's great conflict is gloriously o'er!
The laurels thty won are still green in their age,
And never shall fade in a chaplet so pure,—
But brighter and clearer, on History’s page,
Shall glow the proud record while *ime shall endure!
JOHN S. LITTELL.
Germantown, 20th June, 18o',4.
Hope an d Despair.—Two remarkable speech
es, by celebrated men, were delivered last week
—one by ex-Senator Rhett of South Carolina, the
other by ex-Representative Stephens of Georgia.
The former is reported by himself in the Charles
ton Mercury, and, whilst we utterly dissent
from his object and conclusions, we consider it
one of the most powerful speeches we have seen.
Its object, open and avowed, is disunion. Its
conclusions, that there is no hope of peace in the
Union, and that now is the time to dissolve—
not a day to be lost, if we would jirc.^erve either
honor or liberty. Mr. Stephens, on the contrary,
regards the South as htyring secured a vast acces
sion of strength and safety, by the agitation of the
late years, and counsels Union. He is against
any more slave States unless with more slaves to
people them.
For our own part, we look for a renewal next
year, as a matter of course, of the contest through
which the country passed in 1850, with so much
apparent hazard. There is comparative quiet
now, but every new contest with a Republican
candidate for the Presidency will be more and
more hazardous.
State Bonds.—We learn that the sale of Deep
River bonds endorsed by the Stite, at 95, men
tioned in our last, was not a cash sale, but an ex
change, the State giving State bonds at par for
the Deep KiTer bonds at 95.
TWO DAYS LATER FROM EUROPE. I
Sackville, July 12. !
The Canada, with Liverpool dates to the 2d, j
arrived at Ilalifiix to-day. '
The news is of little interest. !
There had bftin no more fighting in Italy since the ■
great battle of the 24th ult. The French loss at
the battle of Solferino, it is believed, amounted
to lr»,009 or 1S,000. The Frcnch people are !
dissatisfied with the scantiness of the details. The
Paris Patrie says that Napoleon had his Epaulette |
shot away in the battle of the 24th, and that some i
French regiments were almost cut to pieces. The
Italians are deserting the Austrian army in large
bodies. In one instance a whole battalion had
deserted.
The English Ministry have pronounced in favor
of a strict neutrality. Richard Cobden has de
clined a seat in the English Cabinet.
The Paris correspondent of the London Tinu s
says the Piedmontese soldiers were at one time,
in the last battle, enveloped by the Austrians, but
recovered and repulsed the enemy, and kept their
position with exceeding courage.
A dispatch dated Turin, June 2S, says: The
deserters from the Austrians unanimously .>tate
that 40,000 men were at Pozzolengo. This posi
tion fell to the Piedmontese.
Gen. Hilliers won the battle of Solferino, and
n)arched against (.’aoriano. The heights were oc
cupied by the French, and the Austrians were
forced to retire to Caoriano, being beaten along
the whole line.

The last of the Si‘ kles Case.—The New York

FOR THE OBSERVER.
^‘Reform it altogether ”—Will the Editors of
the Observer permit one of their subscribers to
protest against the custom now so much in vogue
with the newspapers, of Esquiring almost every
man, and boy too, who is named, in whatever
connexion?
I cannot but regard the practice as a most vi
cious one, so far as propriety of style is concernetl,
and I am sorry to i,ee that a paper holding so high
a place in my estimation as does tho Observer,
has given in to it. In last Thursday’s number of
that paper, I counted among the editorials thir
teen persons with the affix Fjsquire to their names.
Now I do not know whether or not all these thir
teen persons he Justices of the Peace, but if not,
why then as well I think call them Generals, or
Corporals, as Esquires. *
Dear Sir, you are altogether behind the times
—too old fogyish, by half Why not say Escj|uire,
as well as General, or Corporal? The one means
about as much as the other; and every man is en
titled to be either the one or the other. The fact
is that people in this Republican country arc just
as fond of titles aa . those of the most aristocratic
country under the sun—if there be under the sun
a more aristocratic people than we have in the
U^nited States, especially of the leaders of demo
cracy.
As to the thirteen Esquires, we are responsible
for but six of them. Six of the remaining seven
were merely copied from other papers, and one
from a correspondent. Our six are all Lawyers,
and we have the highest legal authority for affix
ing Esquire to the name of every Lawyer.
We have no objection to every man being
“Plain John Smith,” as a newspaper writer signs
himself, but we have serious doubts whether eith
er we or our correspondent can reform the world
in this particular. Be content if we violate no
principle, and do no wrong to any man in our
editorials, even though we may, like the rest of
mankind, dub others than Justices with the harm
less title of Esquire.

A communication from R. McDaniel, (accompanied
by a paper signed by citizens of the town,) asking the
withdrawal of the injunction to restrain him ftvnn
building his Mill within the line of Green Street, being
before the Board—
It is considered that it is desirable that the rights of
the parties should be adjudicated by competent autho
rity, and as the case is now before the Court in such
form as to put the question forever at rest; it is deeme*!
best that the injunction be allowed to go to regular and
final decision before the Court.
