THE WIFE'S APPEAL, What though, my love! thy lip has lost The early smile of youth, When every word it breathes, forme Is tenderness and truth! And if none else a charm can sec j Upon thy carc-wnrn hrovv, I loved thee in the flush of youth, But ch ! lar better now! And if at times a tear will fall, Thy paliid check to see, Oh deem not that thine alteied look Has grown less dear to mo; Cut that to mc it tells a tab Of days of anxious care, " AnJ grif ami toil thou bcar'st so Wet!, Which I bo fain would share. What if the ones who at my side, Launched on lifs fickle sea, Have gained a higher lot on earth Than I have shared with thee? Hot Btat'.ly homes nor silken sheen Can win from me a sigh; Thine heart, beloved ! is wealth enough, Far more than carta can buy! Perchance had fickle fortune smiled, Our hearts had learned to loam And found a charm in wealth and power, To win f.om Heaven and Home. Cut now, when all around h dark, Our souls at least are free, And trust me, love! that mine is strong To sufler all with thee! lUileigli Railroad.

J OF LINCC-LN COUNTY j Delict red in the las' l.egilatuc. The yiestion hciuir on the motion of Mr Rayner oj Hertford, to take up i bill to cs. tablish a new County by the name of Gra ham, to be ti-ken from Ireci'dl, Mecklen burg, Gat.n, Lincoln and Ca'fvvba, Mr. White of Lincoln, rose. and addressed the H use as f-l!o'As ; 1 had hped, Mr. Speaker, that this bill, from the. Inrgp vote by. which it was put down, weald have been left .fv "sleep the sleep of death ; but 5s it is. again brought on the'earpet, I am compelled from a sense! if duty to that little county, ol Lincoln to give some reasons to the House why this bill ought not to pass. Novv, Sir, what is the situation of Lincoln County at ihjstime? She nify well be compared to the 1 strong man win was shorn of his-strcngth! She was once able to compare with any ja unty in the State, being more than forty miles in breadth and six'y odd miles in length, but now what a contrast is to be seen; she is j icn miles wide by about twenty eight'on an average long. Now, Sir, what does the present bill propose tr do ? Why Sir, to take at least from forty to filty square miles of ier territory, including in that bounds at least one fifih of her p mulition.aod n-ar ly the same arnount of hfr taxation, and bv far the most beautiful portion of the county, lying on the Catawba rivfti, and one of the most d-dightftil settlements in the WW'.ern part of the Slate, cither as respects sr: cr population. Rut Sir, there is another grea1 reason why it should not become a 'law, toat is, there rtre constUuttonal obiections I, ., r- . c. . t - iot presuming, Sir, hot what tliis county will have the requsite population in i i he lifiOfids here blid flnirri Iml lul.nt tiMi ' , ., . . r , , . . , n . . be the situation of old -Lincoln? Sim is , . . , ! now narrowed oown to 7i mere strip: and t I do heie asseji ii; mv - t-.Ia'-'vJ.liat I am well ' convinced ibal she has not more than ib ratio, if that, of population. The fottsiji rnembei from ihe r-oont ia hv n fwnii ' . , , " " , . T"' oo Of ok, and 1 am convinced that L:n- . . I colu has none ul lh:s fraction. Inn. ,hn. ,hc has her full third of the i taxa'.o.i, but fir, J do not think .she has f-.i, ! t-. ; the thud ol the opuiauon. Bat. Sir, from I the c.ur? c nursutd bv this I.i-fritntnr. this county would ha.dly txpoct that violent hands would again be laid on her territory. This thud county was forced on her si gainst the will of a large majority of the fieemen of the county, and contrary to the declaration of her members on this floor; hut even now it seems as if to gratify the will of ihe gentleman from Iredell she must be cut again. Here lei rne state that this gentleman did all he could to have this third county forced upon u. Now, Sir, what is the public opinion in L neolu coun ty on tin:; mailt r at present ? Sir, the last Lincoln Courier sa s, thai with the third county is buried forever the Graham coun- ty project, as far as she is concerned. I do hope that this cut up and distracted county wiil now be let alone Tho public moid there has been d Curbed long enough, and I sincerely trust that she will be sul lered to remain as she. is. But Sir, there ;s anoihor strong reason why she should be le: alone, and that i,that all hei members h"re are opposed to it, and out n tl,e five, couruies that the new county of Graham is proposed to ho formed, four of them stand opposed. Meckh'tib-jrg protest against giving up any of her territory, as well as Gaston, L'ticoln and CaMwba. Now, S:r, I here appeal to every gentle man on ihs floor, who elands heie as n.e representative of any country in this State, how be will feel when this rule is applied to himself a proposition to take a portion of bis county when he is convinced ibai ibis consultants utar.d opposed lo n ? . I I I l'll9iliuril BIUi:J OpjlllStU II j ra;i upon gentlemen from the East i . . , ! ttl1 est not to stand by mc, but - and from to Hand io the principle i.cre.mvoUed; thai the ier riiory o! no couniy m this S;at? ought to be taken trom htr contrary io her will and the will of her ' representatives. Now, Sir, no member here can be at any os how fie shall apply this rule, for he can bring it homo to himself,' and there make the application. Now. Sir, I am well con vin'-ed that neither the frameis of nor ihe convention ihat amended the Constitution, ever intended thai the soil or tern ry oi the different counties should be taken from' ihem contrary to the will ni their represen tatives. If ibis was to be the case, then it would make but little difference whrt part of ihe State members were chosen from. But, Sir, it at was not the intention. Il was that every e.mnty might be guarded by men w ho ki.rw id f I; what her true interests were, and not the least of those interests is her territory. But, Sir, there is or.eoiher view of this matter thai I w-mt to call ihe attention of tins House to. thai is thst it would be a violation of the Con stitution liself, for in ihc IGib Section it there ueclareR thai, -''taxes ought to'Vt no posed on the people only by their own con sent, or by the consent o: their representa tives, freely given." Now, Sir, I do a; sert that this would be taxing -the people f (his county contrary to their will and contrary to the w ill of their reprt-sentativi s. This, I think, is &n objection that ought to bear down every thing else thai stands in us way. But, Sir, one word as to the troprierty of making a county with one of the largest river "in the Western part i f the Slate running nearly centrical through the whole lenoih of it narrower. Sir. tin? is a natural boundary, which I think nou d be aba.! policy to cross, were parties sll a greed, for it would certainly be n grievance io the citizens in aticnding the public busi. ntss of the county W'fiy Sir, I would just call the attention of the llotis to Montgomery county. This is the very rea- son why Sanly was made, because the Yadkin run through her; for ii will be seen by a reference to the list of populaii ta ken, that when the last apportionment was made, she and .Montgomery both fell short of the ratio. But Sir, I have no objections to the gentlemen having a coun ty, provided he can make it oo; of Iredell; if he has boundary and population enough, I will go with him to make i?. The gen tleman says he has a great many petitions from the county of Lincoln, praying for the establishment of (his county. Now, Sir, what is the situation cfhese petitions? Sir, they were signed when il was expec ted the county at would bo removed; and therefore a great change has taken place since, and there is no authority now to even say that the people are in favor of it. Indeed I contend lhat ihe gentleman himself has destroyed it. for lie altered the hounds that hi petitioners called for; so he lias no petitioners calling for the coun ty agreeably to ihe present lines. But, Sir, believing that the House will not entertain any proposition taking any p-irl of ihe county o! Lincoln as it euml, I will not take up the time of the House any longer; but Sir, if I find lhat I am mis taken, and thai ihe House intends to force this bill upon us, I now give notice (hat I feel bound to contend against it to the la?t, and will use i;;y privilege-and rights o:i (his floor, howevei precious lime uoiv be con sidcred at this singe o'f the session. And 1 here offer an amendment, Ihe purpose of which i? to strike out all that poition of ihe bill West of the Catawba river; and on that question I ask for the yeas and nays. I want to know who they are lhar.go for tearing old Lincoln to pieces no v, after ibe special care they exeicised towards her in the firs? pari of the session. It was urged that n would ruin her to remove the Court from Lincolnlon. Now 1 would like to ki.ow what good the Court will do if her territory is io be scattered to ihe 4 winds of Heaven? latching Fish. Hatching eggs by ar tificia! heat is well known and i xtensivrty practised in China: as is also ihe hatching o fish The sale of spawn for lius pur pose forms ii important branch of trade in China.

That iheic is a vt ry jarce party in MfK leo in favor of making ;.eace with ic LT mted Stales is becoming daily more evi dent. T-sis party has r.oi been heard amid the ersf b ss clamor of the unthinking mob, and the 'oiid, t in piy boasting of miihtary pretenders, but u will soon find a voica proteriMal in ihe nlTairs o the country A beg:ning has been made towards ihe tiauV menis of this very desirable' end by the es labl.slonents '' a new paper in ihe city of. Mexico, called "7? liazonador" which,S though it dcflouneesAhe' war a unjust. th: -American! ' aggroscrs 'as must be -CX-- , j ected, yet puts forth some very sensible" remark? on the sueject.pf peace. Tocsq remarks are intended to test the public feeling, and may be regarded, if thev n-CfJ with any degree of toVrance, as a prern ni' tory of a return of the public mind to . more enlightened views of tho capacities and interests of Mexico, ihan have, fox many years bf en evinced in the conduct cf affairs in lhat country. We-have not. seen a number of the paper, but " El Repulli" cUi0," of ihe 21st ult , contains the follow mg exuact from its first number: " Too Republic of Mexico is now in the agonizing moments of a most sevcro trial, and it is neccessary that its sons should make extraordinary efforts for its salvation? Bui can we save il by war? Are we in a condition to make war and to carry it on successfully to (he end? Can it depend upon the whole or n part of the resources of the country? Has the public spirit so long asbep, been so thoroughly awakened that all the Mexicans will fly to arms to exterminate our unjust invaders, and bequeath to our children a country, itv dependence and liberty? Can we disposa of such an armament, and the other mum lions of war, as will be neccsary to extin guish the common enemy and re conquer thai of which he lobbvd us? Would, the prolongation of an exterminating war, a war to ihe death, tedious, indefinite, he more advantageous to Mexico thnnan hon orahlc arrangement, were such possible Would our Government lose anything should it hear and examine with a'.tcn'Sca the propositions which once, again, and at various times, have been, and probably w ill continue to be made to us by our cr.c mies?

TJu-sa are great questions, which, io our opinion, ouqhi, at ibis time, in preference, to agitata the periodical press."
