Sales of I^roperty.—The late residence of
(''apt. John Crow, dec’d, in this vicinity, contain
ing 54 acres, was purchased on Tuesday last by
Mr. Wright Huske, for S1625.
The dwelling and lot of the late Jas. R. Gee,

A two story brick store on Gillespie street, with
a warehouse in the rear, was knocked down
SI 175. And another adjoining, w^ith no ware
house, at 81475. [Whether the latter brought
more because a bar had been kept in it, and there
wxs an odor of good liquor about it, we cannot
say.] We did not hear who purchased. The
seller was Mr. M. W. Jessup.
A woman aged 38, with boy H years, boy 4

his line of Steamers, kc., at a .*at:.sfactory price, to
Messrs. Georjre W. Williams Co. and others.
Tha.nksqivinq Day.—Thursday next, th
-4th inst., has so far been appointed Thanksgiving
day in twenty-five of the thirty-three States in
the Union, including North Carolina.
The Circus Row in Robkson.—We learn
that the account of the fracas at White House
Kobeson county, which we copied from the Peters
burg Expre.ss, is greatly exaggerated. Nobody
was killed, though some persons were beaten
We have not such particulars as to justify a par
ticular account.
State Politics.—An opposition meeting was
held in Salisbury on the 8th inst.. Col. E. D.
Austen, presiding, and Wm. Locke,Sec’y. Thirty-
ilx delegates were appointed to the State ('on-
vention on the 22d of February next.
Democratic meetings in Onslow and Union
have appointed delegates to State and District
Conventions.
North Carolina Manufacturers.—We
notice in the South Carolina papers that the
largest exhibiters of agricultural implements at
the State Fair last week were Messrs. N. Boyden
it Son, of Salisbury in this State. Messrs. Boy
den were also very large exhibiters at the North
(Carolina Fair la.st month and received many pre
miums. Their establishment is a large one, and
must be of great service in many ways to Salisbury.
The Salisbury \\ atchman of yesterday says
that they received premiums in S. C. for “the lar
gest collection and for the best implements. Their
premiums consist of four medals, (two of gold and
two of silver,) and seven pieces of silver plate, all
rich and beautiful.”
Thk Salisbi'ry Banner.—Mr. John Spel-
man, tor several years past the very efl&cient Fore
man of the Ralei^^h Standard, and occasional Re
porter for it, has bought the office of the Salisbury
IJanner. He will doubtless publish a more than
ordinarily able and neat paper.
State Stocks.—The latest quotations of North
Carolina Bonds in New York are at97i. Vir-
^'inia 94. Tennessee 90. Missouri 84J.
(V)TT(>N Keceipts.—919,025 bales, against
^ bales last year. Increase, 103,472 bales.
I’he st4M:k in the interior Southern towns, not
iiieluded in the receipts as above, is about 26,000
lebu than at this seaaou last year.
Thk ChabIjOtti Dbmocrat.—We presume
that our friend of the Charlotte Democrat has the
Congressional Globe, containing the proceedings
of the last session of Congress? It he has, it
would have been very easy for him to verify every
fact which we stated from that official record as
to the fate of the Post Office Appropriation bill,
and he would not then have quoted, instead of
the official record, a one-sided and erroneous
statement by Mr. Clingman, which the official
record disproves. We gjive the whole truth of
the matter, as collectcd from the Globe. The
Democrat will neither give our array of the facts,
nor look to the Globej but prefers Clingman in
stead.
The Democrat sk3’s that we were mistaken in
alleging that the House rejected the Senate’s
.‘imendn»ent.s. .\ reference to page 1067 of the
(’ongressional Globe will show the Democrat that
we were right. The Senate’s amendments were
contained in section 13th. Mr. Grow’s resolution
stated that that section 13th “is in the nature of
a revenue bill,” (which the Senate has no right
to originate,) and that therefore it “be returned
to the Senate.” The House adopted the resolu-
tiiMi, and thus, to all intents and purposes, reject
ed the amendments. Such rejection was the only
point and purpose of Mr. Crow’s resolution. As
its being an insult to the Senate, we can hardly
believe that one House of Congress would delib
erately insult the other, and especially that 30 or
40 Democrats in the House would unite with the
Republicans to insult the Senate which contained
large majority of Democrats.
But the Democrat disputes the accuracy of our
clas.sitication of the N. Y. Journal of Commerce
as a “democratic paper.” Well, suppose we were
rong as to that, what does the Democrat say to
the testimony of the Wa.shington Star, and of Mr.
Toombs himself? They both sustain the position
we have maintained, and dispute that of their
party friend the Charlotte Democrat.
But we are not mistaken as to the Journal of
ommerce. It is no “neutral paper,” as the
Democrat says; and as we think it would not have
said if the etlitor had read it for years as we have
done. Why in the very No. of the Journal of
Commerce which we opened afler reading the
Democrat (that of the 12th,) we find ample evi
dence, in its leading editorial, of its f>olitical po
sition. In a long article urging the nomiuation
of good men by the Democratic party for the mu
nicipal election next month, we find such sen
tences as the following, which leave no doubt, if
any had existed, that the Journal is a Democratic
paper:—
“The Democrat* are fairly entitled, on the score
of numbers, to the control of the city government,
and they need only to put forth candidates worthy
of confidence, to ensure success. We confess our
preference for such a result; not only because of
our sympathy with Democratic principles, when
fairly enunciated and interpreted, but because we
do not believe a change to Republican control
could in any manner prove beneficial in the end.”
‘We make these remarks in all kindness, and
with a decided preference for the success of a
Tammany candidate, ]>rovided he be one worthy
of and qualified for the position; but we feel called
upon to say, most emphatically, that only such a
candidate can have our support in the coming
election.”
As to Mr. Clingman’s letter, its mistakes are
numerous and glaring, as the Democrat can see
by consulting the Congressional Globe. The bill
was not, xs Mr. C. says, “carefully considered by
the Senate for ft reral days,” unless two days be
“several days.” The “majority” in the House
did not refuse “to con.sidcr it for some time after
it reached that body,” as Mr. C. says. The vote
on the ijuestion was 86 to 50—86 for considering
it, .50 against; and .50 is not a majority over 86;
but the rules forbade its being taken up unless
two-thirds concurred. It was not “on the Inst
niijht of the ses.sion,” as Mr. C. says, that the
House took it up; but on the morniny of the last
day. The amendrients of the Senate ictre con
sidered, and substantially rejected, though Mr.
(’. says they were not; and the House’s resolution
contained no such language as that “the Senate
had violated the constitution.” It simply direct
ed that the bill “be returned to the Senate, as
section l.S of said amendments is in the nature of
a revenue bill.” Mr. ('lingman goes on to tell
what Mr. Grow and those who voted with him
“doubtless thouyht.” Of that the Congressional
Globe told him as little as it tells us. Whether
he had such an intimacy with them as to enable
him to fathom their “thoughts,” we cannot tell;
but we do think that a grave Senator might have
confined himself to their acts and their words,
without guessing at their thoughts. Lastly, Mr.
Clingman says that the House branch of the Com
mittee of Conference (on which, by the way, were
.Mr. Branch of North Carolina, and Mr. Letcher
of Va.,) “in.sisted that the Senate branch of it
should accept, instead of it, an entire new bill.”
Now it is admitted on all hands, even by the
('harlotte Democrat, that it was no new bill at
all, but the identical bill that had originally
passed the House and been considered by the
Senate, merely omitting the objectionable amend
ments of the Senats.
But if this stiitement of Mr. C. were true, as it
manifestly is not, it strikes us that .Mr. Branch,
the Democratic member from the Wake district,
and Mr. Letcher, are the men to be held respon
sible, and not Messrs. Gilmer and Vance.
It is notable, further, that Mr. Clingman to
tally omits all allusion to the objection of Messrs.
Toombs, Benjamin and Broderick, by which the
bill was defeated. If his object had been to make
a fair and candid statement, would he have done
so? It is “the play of Hamlet with the part of
Hamlet omitted.”
We beg the Democrat to consult the Congres
sional (ilobe and not the Hon. Thoa. L. Cling
man. The official record is much better authori
ty than Mr. Clingman, and that record, apart
from the facts already cited, shows that not only
did the bill fail in the Senate but that the bill
which failed was reported to Congress by a com
mittee consisting of Jour Democrats and two Re
publicans. The action of the Conference Com
mittee was unanimous. The members of the
conimittee were: from the House, John Letcher,
of Va., and L. O’B. Branch of N. C., Democrats,
and G. A. Grow, Republican; from the Senate, C.
E. Stuart and Jas. A. Pearce, Democrats, and
Solomon Foot, Republican. The House promptly
passed this Democratic bill. The Senate was pre
vented from doing so by the objection of three
Democratic Senators to its consideration. Under
the rules^ a single objectioo; w the Democrat
j knowB, waa fatal.
New York Election.—The Republicans
have elected all their State ticket, even those who
w'cre opposed by the Democratic candidate's adopt
ed by the Americans, thus showing a majority over
both Democrats and Americans combined.
The Legislature is overwhelmingly Republican.
A Dead Cock in the Pit.—The Hon. Ed
ward Bates ha-s authorized a statement of his
views on the slavery question, (in a St. Louis
paper,) so opposed to St)uthern institutions as to
preclude all idea of his receiving any Southern
votes for the Presidency.
Brown’s Gang.—The Salisbury Watchman
very properly calls attention to the f^ct that the
candidates for office in Brown’s gang consisted of
four Democrats and four Republicans—not a soli
tary Whig. This is (juite a sufficient reply to
Democratic abuse of the opposition party South,
which is quite as sound on this question as the
Democratic party at the South, and far more so
than the Democratic party elsewhere.
Heavv Losses by Fire.—The New Orleans
papers estimate the losses by fire in that city for
this year, to have been one million seven hundred
and fifty thousand dollars.
In addition to this many fires have occurred
there during the la.st week. A teiegraplii(* de
spatch to the Petersburg Express of this morning
mentions five since Saturday la.st. By two of
these ^ small houses were burned, and more
than it . undred poor families made houseless. In
cendiaries ,;re thought to be at work.
Women OF THK IIevolutio.n’.—July 4, lS:i6,
Congress passed the first act to pt'nsion surviving
widows of revolutionary soldiers. About 5,0*>0
were admicted to the benefits of this act—only
35 are nov’ living. Of these in North (.’arolina;
Martha, widow of .foshua Elkins of (Miatham
county, aged 102; Ann, do. of James llutehin*
of Orange, 99; Winnefreil, do. of Jac«jb Holly
Halifax, 104; Elizabeth, do. Wm. Lane, Davidson
98; Susannah, do. Wm. West, Warren, 100.
North Carolinian Killed Abroad.—The
Paulding, Miss. Clarion gives an account of a fight
in that place on the 1st inst., between Wm
James, Jr., and C. C. Scott, in which the latter
wat; killed by a blow with a stick of wood in the
hands of James. Scott was a tiative of Raleigh.
Payino a man to ride on the Railroad
Corporations are said to have no souls, and when
they fall into the hands of a jury, are treated as
the expression would indicate they treat others
The Railroad companies especially are made to
suffer. We notice that the Great Western Rail
way has just been mulcted Sllt.OOO for damages
by a late accident, and in one ca.se they pay
84,000 to the heirs of a man who traveled free,
and who doubtless bored them into making him a
dead-head
Arrest at Memi’his.—Dr. W. R. Palmer
has been arrested and imprisoTieil at Memphis,
Tenn., on testimony providenti:illy found, show
ing him to be eng-.iged in concocting villain(ms
schemes a-l;i-John Brown.
IlARrEu’s Ffhry.—10 r. s. soldiers have
been .stationed at the Harper’s Ferry Arniory.
The Ha.noino.—The Uichmondcorrespondent
of the Petersburg Express says.—
“I understand that (tov. Wi.se has determined
to go to Charlestown and be present at the execu
tion of the insurgents next month. He will take
several of our military companies along with him,
so as X*> be prepared for any emergency. The
Governor has act'd heroically in this whole affair,
and he is determined, since the outlaws have
been convicted, that the gibbet shah not be de
frauded of its dues.”
Francis Jackson Merriam, of Boston, who wa.s
reported to have been with Brown, and subse
quently to have died of his wounds, is at pre.sent
in Canada.
()rd>rtl to Ijtao .—A peddler of maps, named
A. K. Plumley, suppo.sed to be an abolitionist ip
disguise, was ordered to leave Finea.stle, \'a., lasi
week, or take, at his option, a coat of tar and
feathers.
Exritcmfnt at Cli/irlcsfou>i, la.—We lea/n
that considerable excitement still exists in Charles
town, Va., caused by numerous incendiary fires
in the neighborhood, and a belief among the in
habitants that emissaries of old Brown are still
lingering about. The Mayor of (’harlestown had
issued a proclamation or*lering off all strangers
who cannot give a satisfactory account of them
selves. Whereupon, Mr. Hoyt, who bad returned
to the town, Mr. Sennott, one of the coun.sel for
the prisoners, and Mr. Jewett, connected with
Frank Leslie’s paper, received an intimation that
they were among the strangers whose presence
was not .satisfactory to the people, and that their
personal .safety would best be .secured by an early
departure. Mr. SenTiott declined leaving until
he had concluded his business. Mr. Hoyt had
already made arrangements for departure before
the proclamation appeared, and he, with Mr.
Jewett, left on Saturday. Mr. Jewett was sus
pected—unjustly, he declares—of being the cor
respondent of the New York Tribune, which
paper has recently published some letters from
Charlestown of an irritjiting character.
(rood Cotton.—We ar»' informed by a member
of the Executive Committee of' the T. A. .M. k,
C. Society that Mr. John 11. llaugliton measured
off seven acres in his cotton field on his Jones
County farm, and at one picking got 104.') 1 pounds,
boing an average of 1493 pounds per aero.

(lonj Stock.—Seven shares of Merchant’s
Bank stock, says the Newbern Progress, wore
sold on Friday at ?120 per share, the seller to
have the dividend payable in December.
New Orleans, Nov. 15.
The Reported Capture of Broirjisville J)is-
credited.—The report that (!ortinas had captured
Brownsville, is contradicted by reliable private
advices. A letter from a branch commercial
house, at Brownsville, to the head of the firm
here, dated Nov. 2d, at 5 in the afternoon, says
Cortinas has not yet made a demonstration. The
Rangers and Federal troops were hourly expect
ed, and it was thought the town would be able to
hold out until reinforcements could arrive.
THE TWO CORDS OF WOOD.
Ju.st at dusk one November evening, three
children occupied the large kitchen connected
with the establishment of farmer Grant. A bright
wood fire blazed cheerfully in the wide chimney,
while from the crane the suspended tea-kettle was
announcing, as loudly as possible, that the hour
for supper was approaching. By the bright but
fitful fire, one young girl sat reading; another
stood at the window watching the cows, iis they
walked demurely i'roin the yard to the .stable,
while a boy of eleven summers was seated on a
cricket in front of the fire, gazing steadily at the
flames, as they shot upward, but with an appear
ance of abstraction indicating that his mind wa.s
elsewhere.
Softly Ellen advanced from the window, and
touching her si.ster Ruth, to call her attention,
whispered, “Ju.st look at Thomas! He’s in a
brown study, as teacher said this afternoon. I do
wonder what he is thinking of.”
“A.sk him,” responded Ruth, glancing at her
brother, and then turning to her book again.
‘Thomas,” called Ellen, “what makes you look
so sober to-night? Did you miss at school?”
'Fhe boy heaved a deep sigh, and then turned
to his sister with a smile, saying, “Oh, Ellen, you
can help me, if you will; only you must first pro
mise not to tell any one.”
Ellen {)romised, and Thomas led her to the fur
ther corner of‘ the room, as his mother had come
in, where he made known his plan. “La.st
night, ” sjiid he, “after you and Ruth had gone
to bed, I heard father and mother t;ilking. It
made me feel so sad, 1 could not go to sleep. She
hal been bringing in the clothes, and kept cough
ing, as she always does, when she works hard.
Father told her that she must go to taking the
loctor’s stuff that did her so much good last win
ter. At first she did not answer; but pretty soon
1 saw her put up her hand and brush away a tear.
‘There are so many things to be bought for the
children,’ she said, after a while, ‘that I don’t
like to spend money for medicine. 1 don’t often
cough so much.’
“‘I know that, too,’ replied father, ‘but you
must attend to your health. What should we all
do without you?’
“‘I sometimes think,’ said mother, ‘that my
work is almost done, and if it is God’s will to call
me away. He will provide for you and our dear
children.’
“I couldn’t stay to hear any more, for I had to
run into the entry to keep from sobbing aloud.
Oh, Ellen, what could we all do without mother?”
The young girl turned around, and gave her
mother a piercing glance, as if to satisfy herself
that her brother had cause for his solicitude, and
then asked. “But what can you, or both of us, do
to help her?”
“I mean somehow to buy her a bottle of that
medicine,” exclaimed Thomas, impre.s.sively, “but
how to do it is the question. Dr. Jones had
load of wood carted to-day, and he wants a man
to saw it. I would go to-morrow afternoon, and
ask him to give m2 the job, and take the medicine
for pay, only father wants his wood piled up to
morrow, before the snow comes.”
Ellen stood for one moment returning her
brother’s gaze, and then said eagerly, “Ruth and
I will pile it for you. We'll get up very early
and do »ur stint before breakfa.st, and then we
shall have the whole aflernojn.”
Thomas joyfully accepted this offer, and readi
ly obtained the job from the kind physician. Be
fore night he liaa piled the two cords in the shed
and sawed nearly a (juarter of it.
‘‘Well, my little man,” said the doctor, driving
into the yard as Thomas was hanging up the saw,
jtreparatory to leaving, “how much have you earn
ed this afternoon?”
A bright thought flashed through the boy’s
mind, and in true Yankee style he answered the
(juestion by asking, “Doctor, how much a bottle
was that cou>;h medicine you gave mother last
winter?”
“Half a dollar, I think. Is she sick again?”
The boy then communicated his wishes, and
with a flushed face in|uired of the doctor if he
would be willing to let him have one Vjottle to
carry home with him.
The good man was evidently movel by this un
expected propo.sal. He made no reply, except to
invite the boy to his office. When there, be
talked to him more freely, and ended by giving
him a small powder for hi? mother, with direc
tions for taking it, in addition to the desired
cough medicine, and promised to call himself the
next day.
An h(mr later, Thomas sat with his si.sters by
the fire, and communicated to them the joyful re
sults of his afternoon’s labor. The}' then propos
ed to give the medicine to their mother, as a token
of affection from her three children, “for,” urged
Thomas, “1 could not have done it, if you had not
helped me.”
To say that Mrs. Grant was gratified, wouM be
bat feebly expressing her emotion, when the love
token wa.s placed in her hands.
With moistened eyes she gave each of them a
kiss and then added in a subdued voice, “God
will reward you, my dear ones. The blessing af
fixed to the fifth Commandment will be yours, for
you have indeed honored your mother.”
God did bless them in renlering the medicine
effectual in restoring the health of their mother,
whose life He prolonged for many years. She
saw her children growing up to be useful, happy
and respected by all who knew then.

DIED,
In Richmond county, N. C., on fhe 8th inst., Mr
\R(:inH.\Ll> MoK.\Y, in the 76th year of his age
The deceased was for fifly years a regular member of
the Presbyterian Church; and few who have lived to
hi.s age had less inconsistencies of conduct to mourn, or
left fewer enemies behind them. He bore a lingering
illness of several months, with Christian patience, and
died in the triumphs of that faith in which he had so
long lived. And may God sanctify this sad affliction
o tlie spiritual good of the surviving widow, affection
ate children and numerous frienls, that they also may
be ready to meet the summons, to go hence and be
with Jesus. A. McQ
On the 11th ult., in Montgomery co., N. C., DAVID
A., son of Atlas T. and Mary Ann Bruton, aged 3 years,
♦> months and 21 days. The cause of the child’s death
was most lamentable—that of fire. He and his little
sister were around the fire alone when his clothes
caught, and before his father and mother could enter
the room and extinguish the fire, the child was fatally
burned. D. R. B
In Robeson county, on the 10th inst., Mrs. FLORA,
widow of the late Daniel Buie, in the 84th year of her
age.
At Newbern, on the 4th inst., Mrs. ANN ALLEN

LOVE ME MUCH, AND LOVE MB LONG.
BY MBS. M. W. STRATTON,
“Love me little, love me long.”
That may do for book and song.
But for wompu’s fond heart—never;
She lovos deeply, and for ever.
Love me much, and love me long,
I.? fhe burden of her pong.
'Iruflting all her soul’s devotion
On Love’s wild tincerlain ocean—
Hoarding dream, nor liope, nor prsiyer.
But your image mingles there.
Thiiikest thou she e'er c.an be
Content with any less from thee?
Little knows he woman’s heart.
Who deeinfi her half content witli part—
Content with a divided treasure—
Wooed by rule, and loved by measure.
Love me much, and love me long,
Ls the burden of her song.
Love her wholly—love her ever—
Love her thus, or from her sever.
Ere her heart ha? twined around thee,
Ere she curse the hour she found thee.
Ere to breathe the word farewell.
Be to her like funeral knell.

rpHE Scientific American says:—“We are having a
1 great many inquiries for Sewing-Machines from
various parts of the country, and as we cannot conve
niently reply to them all by mail, we have thought it
propt-r to state our opinion in regard to them in this
public manner. We have used s patent, manu
factured by tlie Wheeler & Wilson ManufacturingCom-
pnny. No. 505 Broadway, and we can say, in regard to
it. that it is wilhottt a riv.al. It is simple, not easily
put out of order when in proper hands, and in point of
effectiveness and hnish. no other machine stands ahead
of it. We state this much in regard to this excellent
machine, upon our own responsibility.”
