It is funny to see such a paragraph as this in the columns of a journal edited and 'conducted by a simon-pure omme du sac .:" I "No person , says a writer in th e Philadelphia Aae. aobears to have npticed the Philological fact that the term "carpet-bagger" is a literal translation of the French phrase, omme du sac," which is defined in tlje dictionaries as a brogue, thief, and so forth.' .

Twelve thousand dollars of bonds of Iredell cobntywere sold within the past two days in Charlotte by the Atlan tic, Tennessee and Ohio Railroad.

It speaks well for the credit of the good citizens of Iredellwho ' in point of industry, honesty and general intelligence, stand pre-eminent among " the com munities of this State.

J.i A. Engel hard, with a handsome ebony cane, surmounted with an elegantly carved gold head." Printing was introduced into this State in 1749, by James Davis who published the North Carolina Gazette in Newbern, "with freshest advices, oreign and .domestic. It was week v on post sized folio. In 1851 North Carolina had 43 newspapers ; one tri weekly, four semi-weeklies and the balance weekly or monthly. Major Seaton Gales then published the old Raleigh Register, and was the first to ever attempt the publication of a Daily in North-Carolina. The Raleigh Era says : A corres pondent from Hillsboro writes us the following : A few days ago the vene rable ex-Gox.

They support a Jews hospital, a free dispensary and medical office (the two last open to all creeds), a boys' school, a girls' school, a retreat for aged and infirm Hebrews. No woman in 5child-bed appeals to them without receiving Secuniary. assistance ; no person in istress applies to them who (if his stOrv nrove trrie. and tlifv kftfin two pRabbis constantlveneaeed in investi- gating these applications) is not re lieved; the Jewish" ecclesiastical au thorities are authorized to draw up on them to relieye any distress among their Hebrew; brethren.

' From'the StfLouis Democrat Dec. 18. TThe grandest and most reliable show now on exhibition in this'vi cinity in the ice gorge above the bridge. It is a free entertainment; but were theatre prices charged for the privilege of looking at it there would scarcel v be a . diminution of the throngs that daily haunt the riv er bank watching the vast panoram ic display before them. The Missis sippi has dissolved and vanished, and where it lay ' is now 'spread a vast sheet of glistening ice, andupon it is encamped an army of wayfarers with all the accompaniments of trains and cattle. From the levee the sight is exhilarating, and its quick transfor mations and rapidly-shifting situar tions. kaleidoscope in their sudden changes from grave to gayr frora- mirthful to mournful, present at tractions rarely held up for,.the,.con templation of our citizens. , ; Compared with the fewdays 'imr mediately preceding it, yestesday was mild arrd pleasant. The sun came ot and attended to business in a style that has not characterized its exertions of late. The cold wind that has lately prevailed died away, and the ice bridge did a heavy busi-. ness. Early in the morning teams crept slowly the bank, bound for the frozen thoroughfare. The levee was slippery, and though horse-beddiug was liberally strewn over the- ap proach to the floats, there wertfmore or less accidents from collisions as the merrv teamsters vied with each other in cheerful competition for ac cess to the iee. As the day wore on the crowd oil vehicles was immense. The limitednumber of approaches necessarily reduced travel to a snail s pace, but the tedious moments of waiting were; musical with the voices of drivers and bullwhackers. The field of ice wsis spanned by .a iQjig black ribbon of teams, in transitu or waiting to be pulled to the bank by additional horses or mules. Tramp ing bands of pedestrians dotted the broad white surface. Alm ost Wery nationality under the sun was repre sented, and at many tongues as there were stones in the Tower of.BabeJ. There are three or fonr roadways across the ice. cut between the huge cakes and miniature bergs that lie piled beside them. The thorough- lares are smooth, though now ; sadly cut up by the hoofs of quadrupeds and the wheels "of heavily-laden wag- ons. Still it is pleasant travelling, and certainly facilitates traffifc. An immense number of vehicles crossed and recrossed yesterdav, and t is said that more freight was brought to and taken from the citj than in any four days in the history of the town. It had been for several days accumulating, and, with the oportu- nity offered tor its transler, it was dispatched in quantities testing the capacity of all sorts of procurable teams. i, . --: There was no increase of approachV es to the Ice : there were only five bridges of the day before, bjit,the travel was better" system izedj aiid consequently without the 'contfnual block that lias heretofore beeo the feature. The bridges 6f the Transfer Company, though private, were fre quently auacKea uy onisiae ieam sters, who forced their way through, but the maiority were compelled to resort to open floats, pay their toll, mi 1 : It and pass on. There is cotrsiaeraDie money made on these bridges, ,and not all of it in a fashion would .bear strict scrutiny. They are owned . by different parties, and though a driver pay his twenty-five cents to get on the ice, he i3 compelled to pay the same price on the opposite side to get off. On the ice there is confusion, but fun. The teams move slowly along in single file, stopping occasionally when a block comes, or turning off to another road when they ;happen to be near a crossing. Now and then they are compelled to stand some little time, and the" teamsters move off to the nearest slide, and contri bute their efforts to "keep the pot a bilin'.'" The slides are humerous,v and their patrons still more so. Small boys are generally the pion eers. A little scraping the snow is cleared off a long, narrow streak of clear, ice. Then down goes the first small boy, closely followed by the second, and the third and the fourth. A driver sees how well they do it, and down he goes the full length of the slide, never losing his balance, but performing his part with,' strict fidelity to his perpendicularity. Down they go again, one after the other, reinforced at every turn, until the line is longer than the slide, and the sliders, close . together. The el derly gentleraarirf Wha has watched the sport intently, likes the looks of it, and thinks he can do it, too. A start of a hundred feet, a rush, and down goes the elderly gentleman, flat on his nose. But that don t the fun. He rolls out, and down goes the lines again. , Now and then a gentleman abandons the use -of his feet and accomplishes his slide with his body bent at an acute angle, the angle on the ice, while some of the more venturesome go down the slide on the back ot the heads. No serious accident has occurred to mar the festivities, though one gentleman was considerable astoh' ished. He was driving along leisure ly beguiling the time by singings madrigal," whereof the burden was an apostrophe to a maiden named Peg, who'had iWori his susceptible hearty when suddenly his mules, disappear ed. Hejumpled from his seat, but the space formerly. occupied by those mules : was only a hole in the ice.- Long and earnestly he gazed" at the hole; and finally remarked, ' as he started for home, "Well I reckon.-. I wbh't wait for 'em. V. Eight members. bate been elected by the Forty-third Congress who will have served at the end of that term 10 consecutive years, namely : Blaine; af Maine;.

A nrrAsnondent of the New York Sun, from Alachua, Florida, gives a case of brutality tnat presents me other side of the Ku-klux : question, o nA tn si v hiivft been ; an 'incentive in other similar instances ot. which the advocates of the Ku-klux complain. He says : -v " '' ' Tn this town fNewmansville) re sides a feeble old gentleman; now in the uuiety-hith.year pi nis age, jonn Powers by name; who as early as 1812 enlisted in thearmy .of the United States, fighting all through that war. He was also with uecatur in nis ex. pedition against Tripoli,, and served in the Creek war under Jackson. T,nst Satnrdav week this old gentle- manr-while attending; to some little matters in ' town; was assaulted ny a stalwart negro, horsewhipped and knocked down. Mr. Powers, through the interference ..of another negro, who had some resnect for his gray hairs; made his escape, followed by about thirty of these devils, shout- ig, "Kill the d d old , kin him." Fortunately he gained the - - . ( . f house of a friend, where he secured a gun and put to bay the mob." ' The correspondent mentions other outrages of the same character. He continues : "Onp. nf thft most reftent of these outrages happened the 4th day of the election at this precinct, and tne writer and hundreds of others were eye-witnesses to what follows. The polls were opened at the usual hour, and when the voting began it was almost impossible to keen the nesrroea from taking complete s possession of tnem. auoui tne miauie oi me uay a colored man voted for Greeley and the Conservative State ticket,. when a disturbance arose, whici was kept no until late in the everting, and fi nally culminated in a deadly assault on two citizens otthe town, one oi them (Dr. Jackson) was struck and knocked senseless by a bludgeon of some kind as he was entering nis dwelling to go to his supper, and he now lies in a- aangerous cunuinuii.

From the New York World, Four men, all of them whites, are now laving in the county jail of Bur net county, lexas, under sentence oi death ; all to be executed at the same place on January 15. Their names are uenjamm oneioy, Arwiur oneii by, Ball Woods, and William Smith. "Theyswere alb sentenced for the murder ' of Benjamin McKeever. Their case taken in all its details, is one of the most interesting in the annals of criminal trials. The .evi deuce agnmstthem,thoughfConclu sive, Was entirely circumstantial.JSlc Keever was shot from his horse, at night near the residence of the Shel bys, his Jthrbat then cut, and his body carried oh horseback three miles and thrown into a cave. A large rock was placed on the bloody spot wh ere his throat was cut, but this precaiw tion, instead of concealing the crime, led to the arrest of the criminals. The keen eyes of a frontiersman saw that the rock had been recently placed there ; so it was removed, and indications of blood found. A clo ser search resulted in the further finding, of a paper-wadding that had been fired from a shotgun. On ex amining a gun of Benjamin Shelby 's, paper-wadding was likewise found in it, and yet another wadding that had been evidently fired from a shot-gun like the first was found under Shel by's doorstep,. In his house was found a copy of the Chimney Corner, and by comparison it was ascertain ed that the three pieces of gun wadding had been obtained from that paper. Placed together, the following enigma .. could be easily read : ... "With piece of paper or a slate. Sit round the lire,.both large and small ; A letter make, almost an eight, And now you see what covers all." There were several other circum stances pointing strongly to the ac cused men. as the hlurderers ; there fore the jury that"tried them did not hesitate to find them guilty of rour-: der in the first degree. The verdict is "generally approved by the citizens of Burnet county, and the latest ad vices from there" indicate that there will probably be no interference by superior courts or the Governor to prevent the decreed quadruple exe cution. Remarkable Gift Enterprise. There is a smart family up town. It consists of a father mother, nd seven children.

A friend on the South Fork writing us, speaks of the death of Mr. Sidney Yoder a highly respected young man living in that section. Our correspondent says, "The week preceding the United States Circuit Court at Statesville, in November last,-Andy Pvamsour, Peter Sharp and Jno. Miller, went to IT Oder's house at night, firing several 'shots at the house as they approached, greatly alarming Yodert his wife and chil dren, and arrested him as a Ku-klux, Yoder was in feeble health a con sumptive. But notwithstanding this, the blood-hound of this trio, who has so often abused, and in the most wanton manner, his official authori ty, had him tied, and run him about over the neighborhood that night, hunting down other victims;- From this night, our correspondent states, his health began to decline, visibly, and continued to decine until he sank away to his eternal rest, on the night of the 24th following. He leaves two poor little children and a distressed wjfe to mourn his loss. Whether his blood is ubon thehands of this inhumair wretch, or not, his conduct under . such circum stances was barbarous, and such as to cause bis removal from the position he oc cupies.
