THE FACTS OF THE CASE.
The charge of Botta and other?, that the
South has provoked the agitation of the
slavery question oy uie repeal 01 tne jiis-
souri Compromise, is without the slightest
fouudatiou and an outrage which deserves
the severest reprobation, coming from
Southern men. What is the history of the
repeal of the Missouri Compromise ? In
1S20, the then Territory of Missouri, hav
ing complied nitn the requisitions of the
Constitution of the United States, applied
in proper form to bo admitted as a State
into the Union, having formed such a Con
stitution is entitled her to enter as equal in

CHATHAM COAL AND IRON.
We have been informed that Mr Ilaugh
ton, of Chatham, sold his plantation on
Deep Eivcr the other day for the handsome
sum of one hundred and forty thousand
dollars, cash, to an English Company. Mr
Temple Unthank also sold his plantation,
in the immediate vicinity for ten thousand
dollars to the same company. Tho first
named tract is supposed to bo underlaid
with bituminous coal of the very best qual
ity. The Unthank tract contains an inex
haustible bed of the best magnetic iron ore.
The company that made this purchase, we
arc gratified to learn, have already com
menced the erection of the necessary build
ings, furnaces and machinery for the man
ufacturing of iron on an extensive .scale.
When the vale of Deep River is brought
into direct and certain cuniniunication with
the great markets of the world by the com
pletion of the works of Internal Improve
ment now underway, it is bound to become
the garden spot of the old North State, the
paradise of the whole world. This good
reader is no delusion but prophecy that
is bound bv the nature of circumstances
and fate itself, to be shortly fulfilled.
Greensboro 'Times.
A Consistent Fremont Man. The
Daughter of a Fremont Elector Married to
a yigger! The following is from a Craw
fordsville (Indiana) paper. Itcad it, and
be astonished :
"The doctrine that has been so boldly
advocated by the leaders of the Abolition
party, during the last year, 'that a negro
was as good as a white man,' has become
with a majority of the members of that par
ty, a fixed fact. No longer than last week,
a man residing in tho vicinity of Oberlin
College, in the State of Ohio, gave his only
daughter in marriage to a sooty African,
who had been educated at this abolition In
stitute. 1 his man, Ave understand, is a
State Electar on the Fremont ticket, and
regards the negro as his equal. The younj
lady is described as being extremely beau
tiful, and but sixteen years of age, whileher
duskv lord is blacker than the darkest mid
night."
Noble Sentiments. Tho following
extract from one of Mr IJuchanan's speeches
in New York cannot bo too frequently or
too carefully read :
"I have been abroad in other hinds ; I
have witnessed arbitrary power ; I have
contemplated the people of other coun
tries ; but there is no country under God's
heavens whore a man feels for his fellow-
man except in the United States. And if
you could feel how despotism looks on, how
jealous tho despotic powers of tho world
are of our glorious institutions, you would
cherish the constitution and Union in vour
hearts next to your belief in the Christain
religion the Bible for Heaven, and the
constitution of your country for earth."

Freak of a Kiveu The New Orleans
Delta learns that Red Itiver has dammed tip
its own mouth and now makes its way to
the Gulf through Atchafalia Bayou. There
is no doubt that this was the former course
of the stream, and that at one time it never
touched the Mississippi, but pursued the
course which it has now resumed, emptying
into the G ulf far to the West of the Mississippi-
The Itcd Itiver is now low, and it
remains to be seen whether, when full, it

Ancient Wheat. Two years ago, a
scientific gentleman, in making archaeolog
ical researches in some of the ancient tombs
in the south of Fiance, found imbedded
with some preserved bodies a species of
wheat not now in exi.stence. It was a hab
it in tho days of the first Gallic Kings to
place in the coffin of embalmed persons a
certain quantity of wheat. Some of this
, , " ., .,
wheat wtts sown and tllC e.tlenmu was
astonished to see sprout forth lrom sixteen
to twenty stalks from a grain. As they
grew, the stalks became angular and much
stronger and more vigorous than the com
mon wheat. When tho grain formed, it
was found that there were on an average
twenty more grains in a head than in the
ordinary wheat. A considerable quantity
of this ancient Gallic or lioman wheat was
sown last fall on tho Government farm at
ltambouillet, and great reports are arriving
of its productiveness. The ordinary wheat
of France is, I suspect, only the degenera
tion of this ancient wheat, diminished in
vigor and productiveness by the conturies
of reproduction through which it has pass
ed. This discovery will take us back
through fourteen centuries for our seed
wheat, and will put Franco suddenly m
possession ofono-eighth more agricultural
wealth than she possessed before the dis
covery ? At least these are tho expecta-
tions built upon it, and it is to be hoped
that they will be realized.

HOW WOLVES CAJOLE AND CAP- I
TURE WILD HORSES.
Whenever several of the larger wolves
associate together for mischief, there is al
ways a numerous train of smaller ones to
follow in the rear, and act as auxiliaries in
the work of destruction. Two large wolves
are sufficient to destroy the most powerful
horse, and seldom more than two ever Lo
gin the assault, though there mny be a
score in gang. It is no less curious than
amusing to witness this ingenious mode of
attack. If there is no snow, or but little
on the ground, two wolves approach in the
playful and caressing manner, lying, roll
ing and frisking about, until the too cre
dulous and unsuspecting victim is complete
ly put oft" his guard by curiosity and famil
iarity. During this time the gang, squat
ting on their hind quarters, look on at a
distance.
After some time spent in this way, the
two assailants separate when one approaches
the horse's head, and the other his tail with
a shyness and cunning peculiar io them
selves. At this stage of the attack, their
frolicsome approaches become very interes
ting it is in right good earnest ; the former
is a mere decoy, the latter is tho reul as
sailant, and keeping his eyes steadily fixed
on the hamstrings or flanks of the horsf.
Tho critical moment is then watched, and
the attack is simultaneous ; both wolves
spring at their victim at the same instant; one
to the throat, the other to the Hank and if
successful, which they generally arc, the
hind one never lets go his hold till the horse
is completely disabled. Instead of spring
ing forward or kicking to disengage him
self, the horse turns round and round with
out attempting a defence. The wolf before
then springs behind to assist the other.
The sinews are cut, and in half tho time I
have been describing it, tho horse is on his
side : his struggles are fruitless the victo
ry is won. At this signal the lookers on
close in at a gallop ; but the small fry of
followers keep at a respectful distance, un
til their superiors arc gorged, and then tbey
take their turn unmolested.

At a camp meeting at Shady Grove, in

were found to be poisoned. All who ate
dinner on Sunday at the tent of Mr J. F.

who died, although some were dangerously
sick. It is supposed that the poison was

DREAMING OF MARRIAGE.
A bachelor editor out Went, who hnd re
ceived, from the fair Land of a bride, a
piece of elegant wedding cako to dream on,
thus gave the result of Lis experience :
We put it under tho head of our pillow,
shut our eyes sweetly as nn infant, and,
blessed with on easy conscience, noon snor
ed prodigiously. The God of dreams gent
ly touched us. and lo ! in fancy we were
married. Never was a little editor so hap
py. It waa "103- love, dearest, sweetest,"
ringing in our ears constantly. Oh ! that
tho drenin Itiul broken oil here. But no,
some evil genius put into the head of our
due key to have pudding for dinner, just to
please her lord.
In a hungry dream wo rftt down to din
ner. Well, tho pudding moment arrived,
and a huge slice ulmost obscured from sight
the plate before us.
My dear," said we fondly, "did yoi
make this ?"
"Yes, love, aiu't it nice V
"Glorious the best bread pudding I ovnr
tasted in my life."
"Plum pudding, ducky," suggested my
wife.
"Oh, no, dearest, bread pudding, I al
ways was fond of 'eni."
"Call that bread pudding?" exclaimed
my wife, while her lips curled slightly with
contempt.
"Certainly, my dour; reckon I've had
enough at the Sherwood House to know
bread pudding, my love, by all means."
"Husband this is really too bad ; plum
pudding is twice as hard to make as bread
pudding, and is more cxpeusivo, and is a
great deal better. I tay this is plum pud
ding, sir!" and my pretty wife's brow Hush
ed with excitement.
"My love, my sweet, dear love," ex
claimed we, soothing, "do not get angry ;
I'm sure it's very good if it is bread pud
ding." "You mean, low wretch4" fircely replied
my wife, in a higher tone, "you know it's
plum pudding."
"Then, madam, it is so meanly put to
gether and so badly burned that tho devil
himself couldn't know it. I tell you, mad
am, most distinctly and emphatically, and
will not bo contradicted, that it is bread
pudding, and the meanest kind ut that."
It in plum pudding" shrieked my wife,
as she hurled a glass of claret in my face,
tho glass itself tapping tho claret from my
nose.
. "Bread pudding !" gasped we, pluck to
the last, and grasping a roatcd chicken by
the left leg.
"Plum pudding !" rose ubovo the din, as
I had a distinct perception of feeling two
plates smashed across my bead.
"Bread pudding !" we groaned in a raga
as the ebicken left our hand, and flying with
swift wings across the table, landed in mad
am's bosom. '
"Plum pudding!" resounded the war-cry
from the enemy, as the gravy dish took us
where wo had disposed the first part of our
dinner, and a plate of beets landed upon
our white vest.
"Bread pudding forever !" shouted wo in
defiance, dodging the soap turrcen and full
ing beneath its contents.
"Plum pudding !" yollod tho amiablo
spouse, as noticing our misfortune, sho de
termined to keep us down by piling upon
our head the dishes with no gentle hand.
Then in rapid succession followed the war
cries. "Plum pudding !" she shrieked with
every dish.
"Bread pudding!" in Kmothered tones
came up from tho pile in reply.
Then it was "plum pudding" in rapid
succession, tho last cry growing feebler, till
jut as I can discinctly recollect, it bad
grovll to a whisper. "Mum pudding" M-
funded like thunder, followed by a tremen
dous crash, as my wife leaped upon tho
pile with her delicnto feet, and commenced
jumping up and down when, thank hea
ven, wo woke, and thus saved our life.
Wo shall never dream on wedding cake
;ain that's the moral.
