The Journal of the 15th says : The presence of an ex President of the United States at our court is an event which deserves a passing note. Mr. Fillmore looks even a younger ; man than Mr. Buchanan, the American Minister ; j bis hair is not so white, nor is there any appear ance of baldness. He seems apparently about fifty-eight, is smaller in stature than the minister, but with as handsome and intellectual a counten ance. It is amusing to see the sang froid with which the former chief of this powerful govern ment is treated by the officers of one of his sue I he republican principle in tnis matter ! ... - . i eessors is no fiction, and the ex-l resident has really and j and highly improv. d mind enabled hor to look actually become nothing more than an American wiln camneSs on approaching death.

Native American Religion. Brothers, let us have American liberty and American religion." lion. K. liayner, in K N. Convention. Taking 'he above for a text, the Louisville Times says : "The Christian religion is of foreign origin, and if Know No'hingism goes on to wax mu:h warm er in it" zul fur things indigenous to this country, we may expect thit a Native Americm religion will be proposed before long th Mormon, per haps, as that is purely American. Orator R:ty ner, we suppose, would have the name American supersede that of Christian as n prefix to our rr. Itgi n. What a pity tl.at Christ w is not born in America instead of B-thlehem of Judea ! If he had been, no doubt Sam's people would have I bought much belter of his religion than they do. It was n great oversight in Providence not to let thisco'intrv l.e discovered by Europeans until the lime of their Catholic Majsths Ferdinand ami Isabella, and a stiil greater, one thai Christopher Columbus, a Catholic, should htive been allowed the honor of first placing a foot upon it ! It is a Hnnder. too, that the Know Nothings are so well satisfied iili an imported name. If they should ever get to rub- America, we suggest to them the propriety of f-xeh;tnging the name America for n me other ; 'h it of Sarn ilia would be both appro pne un! eupbontoas.

The question is frequently asked how till-scan be acquired to th Government land in Kansas and N I rtka Territories, and wheth r military boun ty Und warrants can be located in these territo ries. We have ascertained .hat, except the lain! rrs- rved for the Indians und r treaty stipulations, or to be sold for their b-n fit, or binds reserved for military reservations or other public uses, the whole country to which the lntli n title has been extinguished is subject to settlement even prior to survey, and that pre emptions will be allowed for claims predicated on such settlement. This is an important provision, as in the old land States and territories clairs are not allowed or settle ments made prior to survey. All that an emi grant has to do, therefore, is to select bis location, make bis imptovcim nts on any of the lands not exempted from settlement by any of the restrictions mentioned above, and, on the completion und return of the surveys, file Ilia pioofs at ti e local land "dice, where his claim will be allowed, and be can pav for his land and secure bis improve ments, providing the improvements Bre such as are required by law ; or he may delay payment until the lands are advertised for sale, and make payment any time before the day appointed fr the commencement of the public sa'e. Land war rants will be received, aero lor acre, in part pay ment for the claimant's pre-ctrption ; and this is the only use that can be made of land warrants in these territories belore the lands are in maiket, as the law requires that the lands shall be first sub ject to private entry before warrants can be lo Cuted thereon.

We give the following as a speci men ol'liis liumor: Does the geography of Kansas agree with the description of Eden as deseribt d by Moses ? " And a river went out to water the garden ; and from thence it was parted and became into four heads." Gen. ii. 10. That river now bears the Daroo of Kansas, and its four brunches are known as Sniokv Hollow Fork, and Republican Fork. Grand Saline Fork, and Solomon's Fork, The former, it seems, was known to the antede iuvtans by the name ol Pison, and compassed the whole region known as South-Western Kansas, j where, according to Moses, there is gold. The late discoveries ol g ld on the head waters of the Arkansas river is in the immediate vicinity of Smoky Hill Fork, and those who ad'ipl our views and place full confidence in the B1M0 and who does not ? should seek for gold in the n-xt river North ol the Arkansas, near its source in the Rocky Mountains. Tlv Biblical historian says : " The gold of the land is good j there is bdellium and the onyx stone." The latter is described by j travellers as abounding in great plenty in that re gion. A friend of ours who spent a couple of years there furnished us some specimens of this 1 tone, which we have now in our possession. It was mistaken by his parly for genuine dia- mond, and was treasured up with great care; but its principal value bad d parted on its arrival bv "he sackfull in New York. ' 1C AT IIS.

The fatal disease which removed the brother having seized upon the sister before his dealh, . .

By a Decree from the Court of Equity, lN the 23rd day of July next, (the Monday of our ) County Court,) at the Court ticasc in Charlotte, 1 will sell at public auction, the following valuable GRAIN & COTTON LANDS, viz : The plantation on which D. M. JHcCulloch now resides, containing 250 ACRES, more or less. On this tract is a comfortable and commodious dwelling house, gin house and r.crcw, barn, slahh s and all other necessary out build ings, a fine apple and peach orchard, together with a sjiring and well of excellent water. This tract contains about 100 acres in cultivation, well adapted to the grow th of grain or cotton, in a high state of cultivation, with the fencing and out building all in thorough rt pair. The'AVil. v Tract, adjoining Mm. Weeka, Mrs. Bar net and McLaughlin, lying on McAlpin's Lreclt, con taining TO acres. On this tract there is some very fertile and productive bottom land. The Bowden place, adjoining S. A. Davis tnd Lee Manson, containing ISO acres, lying on McMiehael's Creek. This place also contains some valuable bottom ami meadow land The Matthews and Potts places, containing 170 acres, adjoining 3rs. Wilson, B.irnet and Hoby. A great por tion of this tract is woodlund and No. 1 cotton land. It also has some bottom and upland of .in excellent quality in cultivation. This place has some improvements and tor a small farm would be very desirable. To any person desirous of p-jrciiusing, the above lands offer rare inducements situated, as they ire, in the midt of a community pervaded by a decidedly moral and relig'ous influence, within two milt sol iVorrows' Turn Out on the Lharlotti1 and South Larolina R .ilroad, and ten miles south of Lharlotte. These advantages, added to its reputation for health and the eharacU ristic fertility ot the soil in this region, make it a most desira ble situation. The whole may be sold together or divided to suit purchasers. Anyone wishing to exa mine the lands can apply to D. M. McOulloch, or son, on the premises, who will take pleasure in shewing them. 12 months credit will be given, and Bond and Secu rity required. By D. R. DUN LAP, c. m. e. junc 27th 1855. 50. ts Notice.
