LCHARL0TTE.3 ELUCIDATIONS OF OBSCURE TERMS IN THE DOCUMENTARY HISTORY OF , NORTH CAROLINA From the Raleigh Register. In the first volume of the interesting history of North Carolina by Dr. Hawks, the reader cannot failed to have noticed in the documentary portion of the work, a considerable number of obscure Indian terms, relating principally to the. natural products of the "new found land of Vir ginia." Some of these are correctly and satifactorily explained by Dr. H.; others are passed by as being unknown. As the Indian dialect of that period has become nearly extinct, their true identification can only be reached through the short, and, in many instances, vague descriptions of the narrative. With a view of aiding in these investigations, so intimately connected with our einbryotic existence as a nation, and worthy of antiquarian research, the writer proposes to offer additional exr lanaf ions, .o , . , , . , , e,tber real or conjectural, leaving the read- er to draw his own conclusions as to their correctness. On page 75 (voyage of Amades and Bar lowe, 1584.) we have a glowing description of the great abundance of grapes found on Roanoke Island by the first colonists sent out by Sir Walter Raleigh. The allusion is undoubtedly to the well known Scupper nong, (Sweet water of the Indians) still abundant in the whole Albemarle region. Of this species, ( Fills rotundifolia) there are several varieties common on the sea coast, and throughout the interior and western portions of the State. The Cataw ba grape (variety of V. Labrnsca,) is fast acquiring a World-wide notoriety. It is said to have been first noticed by Col. Mur ray, of Buncombe county, N. C, in 18U2, on the head-waters of the Catawba, and is destined to prove a mine of wealth to many an enterprising citizen of the United States. From it, Mr Longworth, of Cincinnati, and others, arc now making a wine of great excellence, known as the "sparkling Ca tawba. The Isabella grapo is, also, another es teemed variety of Carolina origin, well adapted to table use. Other varieties, of nearly equal excellence, are found in the western part of tho State. But it would require a volume to do justice to this fruit ful theme of vinous flavor. On page 100, (voyage of Sir Richard Greenville, 1585.) allusion is again made to the abundance of grapes of large si.'.e. "Maize, or Guinea wheat," is also mention ed, and the early information given that "perfect sugar" may be made from the stalks. Truly have the Indians been bene factors to the human race in the introduc tion of this most valuable of tho cereal grains ! On page 154, (Hariot's Narrative, 1580) certain merchantable commodities arc enu merated. "Silk of Grass, or Grass Silk," is proba bly bear grass, (Yucca Filamentosa,) com mon on the sea-coast, and in sme parts of the interior. The thread like appendages on the edge of the leaf, and more particu larly its fibrous substance, lhay be con verted into articles of coarse fabric. Elliot says (Botany of S. C. and Ga.) "The leaves of this plant twisted and tied together are used for strings, ropes, and even cables for small boats." On page 157 we read "Oil. There are two sorts of walnuts, both holding oil," dec. The allusion here is probably to the hickory nut, as all of the species formerly passed under the name of walnut. "r urs. All along the sea-coast there are great store of otters," dec. The otter is still sparingly found on tho Catawba river and other western streams. The skins are usually dressed, and converted into shot-pouches. " Luzerne (spelt Lucent in Bailey's Diet. fol. ed. 1730) is the name of a spot ted animal, about the size of a wolf inhabit ing the wilds of Bussia." Hariot proba- bl7 alludes to the panther, then found in tn0 "tterlor of the State, but long since driven to the mountains, On page 100. " Dvcs of divers kinds." . 1 - "Besides the Sumach for dying black, the roots of false bugloss, ( Btttsehia canescens) the Puccoon. and others were used by the Indians for imparting a red color to their faces, deer-skins, rushes for making mats, baskets, tec. On page 1G4. There is a herb which iu Dutch is called Melden. There is here a slight mistake in orthography by the narra tor himself. Melde, in German, is the name of a pat-herb called oraeht (Atripiex hortensis.) The natural order to which it belongs furnishes jnany plants which, after being burnt, yield soda, or "salt -earth,"1 as the historian quaintly calls it. "Openank are a kind of roots of round form," 5cc. This is unquestionably the Indian potato (Apios tuberosa) common in low-grounds. The numerous tubers con nected together on a long root are very farinaceous when cooked, and might be cultivated as an article of food. "Okeepenank are also of round shape, found on dry grouuds," Ac. This alludes to the large tuperons roots of one or more species of Convolvulus, which, after lying in the ground a considerable time, lose their acrimony, and become edible. "Kaishuepenaiik, a white kind of roots, about the bisrness of hens' eggs," &c. This would seem to allude to the common potato, (solanum tuberosum.) If really this, it goes to prove that there was a more extended commercial intercourse between tho Indians of our sea-coast at that early day, and the Spaniards of the West Indies and South America than is generally sup posed. The first definite account wo have of this useful vegetable is by P. Cieca (chronicles of Peru) in 1553. lie says the natives of Peru have, besides maize, a tubercular root, they call Papas. It is usually stated that it was carried to Eug land by some of the returning colonists under Sir Walter Raleigh, in 1580. Two years afterwards, Clusius obtained two tubers, planted them, and gave the first representation of the plant in 1599. "Trinaw" probably alludes to the tuber ous roots of a species of Smila.v (S. pseudo China) which may be rendered edible. It is said, with these roots, Indian corn, sas safras and molasses, the negroes in South Carolina manufacture a pleasant beer. "Coscushaw" may be cassara of the West Indies, as supposed by Hariot (Jani- pba manihot) from which the granulated starch Tapioca of commerce is prepared. It is, however, a tropical plant, but might be raised on the sea-coast of our State. "Habascon" is the horse-radish, or some other stimulant plant of the same natural order. " Susqueuummencr," found in shallow waters, is probably a liliaceous plant. It may be here remarked, that many roots and fruits which are acrid, or even poison ous, in their natural state, may be render ed inert and edible by long boiling, 'or otherwise dissipating their deleterious prop erties. No people in the world understood this art bettor than the Indians. ' "Sagatemener, Osamener and Pummuck oner," are the names of different kinds of acorns, some of which are sweetish and may be eaten. The beach-nut, hazel-nut, Ac, were also used by the Indians as articles of food. "Ascapo," on page 170, is either the bay-tree, (Magnolia glanca) sometimes call ed swamp-laurel, or the common spice bush (laurus benzoin) which is " hot in taste and spicy." Thus, has the writer brought under re view, the principal obscure terms of the documentar history of North Carolina, and offered brief explanations. The reader of Miese old and venerable chronicles will, no doubt, be surprised to find the great amount of accurate information and suggestions which they contain. He will also learn that the Indians were not only the original owners the native "lords proprietors" of the American continent, but the original discoverers of nearly all of the alimentary and medicinal plants now in use. And no where did the first colonists find u greater variety of vegetable and mineral products known and appreciated by the natives, than on tho coast of North Carolina. Lincoln co., N. C. C. L. EL A NEW THEORY. A writer in the National Intelligencer is advocating the theory that the moon is simply the indicator of the earth's electric changes, and that the moon itself has no appreciable effect upon this planet that j tie moon is a fragment of the earth, is negative to it, and revolves upon its own axis, within the earth's atmosphere; that the earth is enveloped in an ocean of electric , vapor, dense and compound upon its solid surface, whose gases separate, however, as j they deepen outward, me rare aiwas emanating from and resting on the more dense until we reach in outward order fluorine, electricity and magnetism, that subtle element pervading all space; and that, observing the various atmospheric strata above and the solid strata below us, it is not difficult to perceive that men, animals and vegetable forms are existing in the centre of the earth's stratification. The electric lines of variation are those extending finnm llm Nnrtb Irt llm RauAIi nolp! the ..... t . . i l r i i j . u v.. I , dia-magnetic or dia-electric lines are e those i ovtoioiiior firnnnil tho earth from et to .,.....t, East, and are ever variable. It is the I variableness of these diaelectric current, savs this writer, that produce all the phenomena attributed to the influence of the moon upon the earth. A Canadian jury iu a murder trial last month, resorted to a "toss up" to decide whether the verdict should be murder, manslaughter, or simple assault. The result was for manslaughter, but eight of the twelve still refused to assent, and thev agreed to light six against six, across the table for a verdict. They omitted this, however, and spent the night in singing and dancing. They reported disagreement and were discharged. It is stated that no fly will enter a room in which a wreath of walnut leaves has been hung up. The experiment is worth trying. HOW THEY MARRY AND LIVE. A young man meets a pretty face, falls in love with it, courts it, marries it, goes to housekeeping with it, and boasts of having a home and a wife to grace it- The chances are nine to one that he has neither. Her pretty face gets to be an old story, or be comes faded, or freckled, or fretted ; and as the face was all he wanted, all ho paid attention to, all he sat up wifh, all he bar gained for, all ho swore to lore, honor and protect, he gets sick of his trade, knows a dozen faces which ho likes better, gives up staying at home evenings, consoles himself with cigars, oysters, and politics, and looks upon his home as a very indifferent board ing house. A family of children grow up about him ; but neither he nor his Hfuce" know anything about training them go they come up helter-skelter; made toyof when babies, dolls when boys and girh. drudges when young men and women ; ana m. m so passes year after year, anu not one quiet, happy, homely hour is known through out the entire household. Another young man becomes enamored of a "fortune." He waits upon it to parties, exchanges billet doux with it, pops the question to it, gets "yes" from it, takes it to the parson's, weds it, calls it "wife," car ries it home, sets up an establishment with it, introduces it to his friends, and has got a home. It's false. He is not married. ind has no home ; and he soon finds it out. He is in the wrong box, but it is too kite to get out of it. lie might as well hope to escape from his coflin. Friends congratu late him, and ho has to grin and bear it. They praise tho house, the furniture, the cradle, the Bible, the new baby, and then bid the "fortune" and he who husbands it good morning ! As if he had known a good morning since he and that gilded for tune were falsely declared to be one. Take another case. A young lady is smitten with a pair of whiskers. Curled hair never before had such charms. She sets her cap for then. ; they take. The delighted whiskers make an offer, proffer ing themselves both in exchange for one heart. The dear miss is overcome, with niagnaiiimit', closes tho bargain, carries lome the prize, shows it to pa and ma, calls herself enratred to it, thinks ther never was such a pair of whiskers before, and they are married. Married ! Yes, the world calls it so, and we will. What is the ; result? A short honeymoon, nd then they i unluckily discover that they are unlike as ! chalk and cheese, and not to be made one, , though all the preachers in Christendom ironounce it so. THE TOILS OF A NEWSPAPER. Marryatt wrote very truly, that "news paper literature is a link in the chain of literature which proves the greatness of England, and every support should be given to newspapers. The editors of these papers must have a most enormous task. It ! is not the writing of the leading articles itself, but the obligation to write that article every week, whether inclined or not, in sickness or in health, in affliction, disease of mind, winter and summer, year after year, tied down to the desk, remaining in one spot. It is something like the walking of a thousand miles, in a thousand hours. 1 have a fellow feeling, for I know how a j periodical will wear down one's exigence, i In itself, it appears nothing; thc labor is not j manifest; nor is it the labor, it is the continual attention which it requires.

WHAT DO FARMERS NEED ? The Agricultural interest is the most im portant and most universally diffused at the South. But since the freshness and the exuberant vigor of tho soil has bopomo somewhat exhausted, there is nn evident hingour in agricultural enterprise, and a casting about for other sources of profit and' more lucrative employments. Men sheink from investing capital in a buMness, at present esteemed precarious and unpro fitable, while nt the same time, they are afraid to venture into the untried field of manufactures. From these causes, thh capital of the country is seeking invest ment in bank stock, and the young men of energy are rushing into professions, or seeking in the areiin of speculation, the dazzling bubble of a fortune. Thoy do not stop to consider, that such a condition of things cannot long continue that agricul ture must form the basis of all real wealth, since it alone can furnish the comforts and Aecessities of life which ure wealth. But Mprned and neglected it must droop in lunrruur, while every other business depen dent on this, is inevitably paralyzed and staguavul. It is capital i-.nd economy that the farm ers need. The idea of working hundreds of acres of poor luM without tho means of improving and enriching it, is contrary to ail the principles of sound economy. Many of our fanners with lund enough to create them Baron's and Lords, were thoy in Europe, cannot command money enough to meet tho common necessities of life, to say nothing of improving tho productive ness of the soil. Were it not for tho gradual rise in the value of land, such suicidal polio would make them a nation of bankrupts. This, with the increase of slaves, keeps up tho farmers of the South, for they have never learned lo make tann ine; per se profitable. Their policy i ex actly that of the speculator, who would in vest a largiJ sum in the purchase of a min eral spring, and then from false ideas of economy, refuso to expend upon it that amount necessary to make it a placo of fashionable resort. It is a dead weight upvn his hands. Yes, it is capital the farmer needs, and a wise system of legislation would labor to turn as much of the element as possible in to this channel, without holding out induco- ments to speculation, and a course ot policy Ul,cct,y aaUMam to the economical m- Crests of the State, by the chartering of private banks. To develope our agricultural and manufacturing resources is the only method of preventing scarcity in provis ions and stagnation in business. But it is impossible to do this without first withdraw - ; ing the funds invested in speculations, for there is no employment which requires such a largo amount of capital for successful prosecution as the proper culture of the I sou. in regain to munutacturnig. a laise idea is prevulent, namely, that there is something conflicting between it and agri culture. These two employments aro mutually dependent on each other, and there is no reason why they should not exist harmoniously in close proximity. It will of course require a surplus of labor be fore both can bo prosecuted to any groat length. But it is agreeable to common sense, as well as good economy, to ravo the cost of transportation, commissioners wages and various incidental expenses, by manufacturing amid tho farmers, a sufficient amount to supply their wants, and to make the entire community independent of the aid of those nt a distance. We hope to tee the day. when more attention, and far more capital, will bo brought to the de velopment of our farming resources, and as soon as we can command the labor, let us by all means have our own manufactures. Yorkville Enpjirer. Rbmkdy for tiik C8MCH livn. Wo published recently a note from the Hon. Abram fteneher, stating that fish oil had been found an excellent remedy for tho chinch bug now destroying the corn. Mr. Bench' r lias addressed us another note on the sul 'jeer, in which he says he has found the remedy entirely succesHful, but that some of his neighbors complain tin t it kill their corn. So it does his corn, says Mr. It., if applied in too large a quantity. Ho says, "take a feather from the wing of a chic'reiror goo.-. . clip off a small piece of the little end, dip the feathery part hi oil, and run it down between the boot and tho stalk of the two lower blade, wipe off th oil remaining on the feather on tho outside of the -talk near the groruML The oil kill the bugs it torn hes, and the balance disap pear." Mr. Rencher adds: "I bare just returned frorr. my cornfield, which border- ed n my wheat field for two hundred yards and where the chinch bug appeared in great force. Their ravages were irrsnted by tho a plicatioa of the oil, and the com looks as well at this time as if there never had been a bug upon it. However iiiifiiccess fu! others may be in the application at fish od, I consider myself indebted to it for the safety of my cornfield. I write this from fear that some persons my b discouraged by an improper application ot the oil. Raleigh Standard.
