CHARLOTTE FEMALE COLLEGE.
We iie pleased to learn that the Trustees
i -.vv secured the services of Rev. Mr
Kurwell, of Hiltsboro, to take charge of
the Female College ia this place. He eon
leraplates opening the College- for the re
, of pupils about the middle of Octo
ber. Mr Burwcll has conducted a female
school at Hillsboro for 20 yean past, and
l a- earned a high reputation as u couipe
ti tit instructor. From what we know of
the r'iitleinai by reputation, we congratu
the friends of the institution at their
-s iii selecting him as Principal.
Facilities for educating young ladies in
Charlotte will soon be offered of a superior
kind, and we hope the citizens of this sec
v.iil take advantage by governing
tlieaiseh es accordingly.
GATHER TOGETHER !
We are requested by a friend of the
Charlotte Female College to ask the citizens
f Charlotte to meet at the College building
on neit Thursday morning. 3d inst., for the
purpose of clearing up and levelling the
grounds around the premises. It is re
quested that all who can, will send hands,
horses and carts, provided with spades,
shovels, axes and grubbing hoes, for the
the purpose indicated. Several citizens
have already volunteered in the work, and
it is hoped that all will lend a helping
hand.
STATE FAIR.
The Annual Exhibition of the North
Carolina Agricultural Society will com
mence in Raleigh on the 20th of October,
ami continue for four days. We hope our
Raleigh friends will make better provision
for accommodating strangers who can't
get skelter in the Hotels, than they did
last year. We had some experience last
;ir in the way of finding Hotels crowded,
ami not able to procure a place to sleep.
Salisbury. Passing through our sister
town of Salisbury the other day, we noticed
nnmistakeable t-igns of improvement, credi
taMe ami encouraging to the spirit and en
terprise of its citizens. The new Hotel at
the Depot, the M Verandah House," kept
by Dr. J. M. Happoldt, is a fine building,
and affords ample and elegant accommoda
tions to travelers. We found charges
moderate and the fare as good as could be
desired by the most fastidious epicurean
Among the appointments by the
President, (says the Wilmington Journal)
announced in the Washington Union of
the 28th August, we find that of Henry W.
Spencer of New York, Consul at Paris, in
place of Duncan K. McRae, resigned.
We learn from gentlemen who have seen
Mr McRae since his return to this country,
that his health is very much improved, with
every prospect of a complete and permanent
restoration, lie is now much better in every
way than he has been for a number of years.
e believe it is his intention to fix his
lence in Raleigh, with the view of
gaging in the practice of his profession.
Beverly Tucker has been appointed
Consul to Liverpool.

HON. BEDFORD BROWN.
Last week we had the pleasure of seeing
and renewing the acquaintance of the Hon.
Bedford Brown of Caswell county. He is
one of the " old time " democrats, and a
conversation with him was both pleasant
and instructive to us. Mr Brown was first
elected to the Senate of the U. States from
North Carolina in 1828, and was re elected
for another term, which position he occu
pied, with Hon. Bobt. Strange of Fayctte
ville, as his colleague, until instructed out
by a whig Legislature with K. Kayner at
its head. As a sound reliable, consistent
democrat, Bedford Brown has no superiors
as a courteous, affable and unassuming
gentleman, but few equals. While in the
Senate he distinguished himself by speeches
in opposition to what was known as the
" Force Bill" (for subjugating South Car
olina.) and in favor of the "Expunging
Resolutions." He discharged his duty to
his constituents and party faithfully, satis
factorily and fearlessly.
After leaving the Senate ho removed to
Missouri, but a few years ago he returned
to North Carolina to spend the remainder
of his days among his old friends and ac
quaintances, which we hope will be as
pleasant and agreeable to him, as it will be
to his numerous party admirers.
A N. CAROLINA ABOLITIONIST.
The course of Edward Stanly, iu accept
ing the black republican nomination for
Governor of California, is humiliating and
injurious to the South. It is humiliating
because Stanly had been honored and trust
ed by North Carolinians as a true southern
man ; it is injurious, because it will mislead
northern fanatics as to the real feelings of
southern people. Abolitionists have always
contended that they had sympathizers, aid
ers and abettors in the South to a far great
er extent than we were willing to acknowl
edge, and now they can point to Stanly's
letter of acceptance as proof, and urge the
North to continue its crusade against our
rights and institutions with the hope of
gaining recruits from southern ranks.
As they were obliged to do, most of the
whig papers in this State have condemned
Stanly and disapproved of his conduct.
Rut we regret to see that the Wilmington
Herald is inclined to apologize for the
course of the traitor by saying "that upon
the subject of slavery there is no real dif
ference between the Democracy and the
Black Republicans." How dare the Her
ald make such an assertion with past events
staring it in the face. Who. in Congress
and out, have voted to secure to the South
her rights who have employed their pens
and voices in defending our institutions ?
Are they not members of the democratic
part- ? "And by whom have they been bit
terly opposed and resisted ? The records
will show that the national democratic party
has been fought to the bitter end b black
republicans, aided by know-nothings every
where. The Wilmington Herald knows
this, yet it sees proper to make the asser
tion that there is no difference between the
two parties. Tin: history of political atrulrs
proves the contrary.
"THE N. C. PRESBYTERIAN."
We copy the following card of the Rev.
Geo. McNeill for the information of those
interested :
" The Rev. Wm. N- Mebane has declined
the Associate Editorship of the Paper. For
this and other reasons, the Ex. Com. have
resolved to defer the publication of the 1st
Number till after the meeting of Synod,
which takes place the last of October in
Charlotte. At that time a meeting of the
Proprietors will be held, and another Editor
elected. A full attendance i. requested, as
other business of importance will also be
under consideration.
All persons having copies of the Pros
pectus, with subscribers' names attached,
and all who are able to add new names to
the li.-t, will please forward them by mail
to the undersigned immediately, so that
some estimate may be formed at Synod of
the number of subscribers with which we
may begin the publication. '.JllOU ought to
be and can bo easily obtained. Will not
our Ministers and lay members show their
interest in this important work for our
Church and State by exerting themselves
in its behalf? Carthage Church, in Moore
County, as yet leads the column: a club of
8'2 having been formed there.
By order of the Committee.
GEORGE McNEILL. Ju.
Fayettcville, N. C.
ZAT" The Wilmington Herald publishes
the following extract of a letter from Ed
ward Stanly, to a gentleman in this State,
soon after his acceptance of the black re
publican nomiuation in California :
"Most unexpected, after I hd declined
by word and by letter, I was Dominated for
the office of Governor. I take no new prin
ciples stand on no platform, hut that of a
North Carolinian on his past lije and ex
pressed opinions. Of course, I do not think
I can be elected the hope of success does
not animate me. I shall get a very respec
table vote, but I hope will not be elected.
My wish is not to remain here, nd, if elect
ed, I would be kept two years any how.
My heart is in North Carolina I run not
to be elected, but to oppose Nebraska agi
tators and Socession Democracy.'
Those who formerly supported Stanly in
this State, against the frequent varnings of
democrats, can now see how they were de
deceived. The following are two of the resolutions
of the platform on which Mr Stanly is now
standiug in California :
Resolved, That the opinion rendered by
Chief Justice Taney, and concurred in by
other Judges in the late Dred Scott case, is
a palpable violation of the principles of the
Declaration of Independence, a falsification
of the history of our country, subversive of
State rights, and a flagrant injustice to a
large portion of the people of the United
States, and as such, merits the reprobation
of every freeman.
Resolved, That as citizens of California,
we deprecate the institution of Slavery on
the Pacific coast, and we therefore extend
to the freemen of Oregon an earnest desire
for their success in the establishing of free
principles as the basis of their State gov
ernment. Stanly endorses the above and says he
has taken no new principles.

county, raised 101 bushels of Wheat on 5
acres of land, tho product of 3 bushels

voted in favor of subscribing fifty thousand
dollars to the Wilmington, Charlotte and
Rutherford Railroad. The majority in

M We are also pleased to learn that the
proposition to subscribe $100,000 to this
work, which was voted down a short while
since by the people of Rutherford, by a
small majority, will, in all probability, be
carried at an election to be held shortly.
The writer of the letter from which we
derive the above information says, in ad
dition 4 The skies are brighter now, and the
feeling is vastly better along the whole line
than ever before.' "
Fire in Wilmington. A destructive
fire occurred in Wilmington on the morn
ing of the 24th August. It originated on
Water street, and destroyed property to
the amount of $30,000 or 840.000. A large
quantity of naval stores on tho wharf were
consumed and the wharves considerably
damaged. O. G. Parsley and Mrs Noyes
are the principal losers.
A merchant named A. Kaufman has been
arrested and committed to Jail, charged
with having caused the fire.
lW A Washington letter says :
" The Interior Department has received
intelligence from reliable gentlemen and
fugitive Mormons that Brigham Young is
preparing to resist Gen. Harney ; that he
has relapsed into the grossest infidelity and
atheism, and that he continues to hold up
the government of the United States to
the supreme contempt of the Mormons."
The Pork Market in Prospect.
During the last two months a good deal has
been done at Cincinnati in the way of con
tracts for November delivery. The Price
Current of that city saj-s :
"In the early part of June, when it was
thought quite doubtful that even a moderate
corn crop could be made, the disposition to
make these contracts was strong and very
general throughout the West, and within
the last month, when it became apparent
that the markets would be entirely cleared
of the old stocks of provisions before the
new would come in, the demand, which had
subsided some during the fore part of July,
again become more active and prices ad
vanced. During the later part of June and the
fore part of July $0 50 per cwt, seemed to
be the prevailing rate, and at which we
li ard of contractu to the extent of 7,000
head. During the latter part of Juty,
0' 75 was paid for 4.0U0 head for Novem
ber delivery, and $G 50 for the fore part of
December. Within the last two weeks
about 3,000 head were sold, for November
delivery, at $7 per cwt., net. The impres
sion is pretty generally entertained that tho
pork brought into market early will com
mand high prices.
According to our advices from Illinois,
there is an active demand for hogs in that
State at $0 net. with more buyers than
sellers.
Railroad Accidents Loss op Life.
On Monday last, about three miles this
side of Fair Bluff, the freight train run over
a cow and went off. killing a free negro by
the name of Bill Gafford, and slightly hurt
ing two others. The cars were going back
wards at the time, and the cow had already
been driven off, but returned again on the
track.
On Wednesday afternoon, about 4 or 5
o'clock, the passenger train going West,
when about two miles beyond Florence
Depot, ran over a horse, throwing the
locomotive and baggagecar off" the track.
The engine was slightly damaged, and car
smashed up. A lud about 10 or 18 yr-ars
old, fireman, named John Bramer, we be
lieve, in jumping from the tender, was injured
so badly that he died in about three hours.
The engineer, Mr. John E. Beeton, receiv
ed a slight bruise on the right hip, but
did not detain him from his business. On
turning a curve, the horse was suddenly
discovered on the track. The engineer
tried to stop, but was too near him to take
up his engine. WiL Journal of the 28th ult.
The Atlantic Telegraph.
New York, August 23. The London
Times furnishes additional particulars of
the breaking of the cable. A strong under
current was carrying the cable from the
ship at a considerable angle. The Niagara
was going at four and the cable running out
at five and six miles per hour. A pressure
amounting to three thousand pounds was
then applied to the breaks to retard the
running out of the cable when the stern
of the ship was in the trough of the sea, and
when the stern rose to the crest of the swe ll,
the strain was too great, and the cable
broke.

CHINESE SUGAR CAKE.
The Department of the Interior has ju
diciously placed it within the power of
American farmers to make trial of the Chi
nese sugar cane, and the season is at hand
when the experiment of its cultivation in
this country will bo tested. Every-body
interested in cheap sugar, will be delighted
to hear that the probabilities are of complete
success. The Baltimore American says
that from every point where the cane has
yet reached maturity, the most favorable
results are reported. In the South, the ex
perience of expressing and boiling the juice
has been made, and from Georgia, Texas,
the Cartdinas and Virginia, there comes a
uniform voice of approbation. The syrup
is said to be of exquisite flavor and unex
pected profusion. Large quantities, it is
added, are also growing throughout the
West and Northwest, and in Pennsylvania,
New York and New England, with the most
flattering prospects.
It is impossible to over-estimate tho
value of this experiment if it is proved suc
cessful, and bring a supply of syrup to
every farmer's door. High prices for any
kind of sugar would in that event become
an impossibility. It is said to be hardly
less valuable as a fodder crop, where the
facilities for grinding are not accessible,
than it is for its saccharine juice.
Price of W heat in Texnessee. The
Nashville (Tenn) Banner of a recent date,
says : There was considerable wheat in
the market yesterday, but we heard of no
sales. Purchasers for shipment are offer
ing 65 to 70 cts for Mediterranean, 75 to
80 cts for red, and 90 for choice white.
These prices are not satisfactory to holders,
and they are generally holding off. Corn
is worth 55c sacked sacks extra.

Southern Presbyterian (New School) Con
vention. This Convention met in the United Pres

present, from 15 Presbyteries in Tennessee,
Missouri, Kentucky, Virginia, Mississippi,
and Maryland. There were in addition 2
corresponding members from Philadelphia,
and one from New Jersey.
The proceedings were opened with pray
er. Rev. Dr. Fred. A. Ross, of Ala., called
the Convention to order ; and on his mo
tion, Hon. Horace Maynard, of Tennessee,
was chosen President.

The CiJgPS. In the adjoining counties
of Forsyth, Stokes and Rockingham the
fields are burdened with the abundance of
the crops. Corn especially never looked
more promising, and with the assistance of
the gentle rain now descending, many far
mers will be compelled to build new barns
for storage. From the severe winter, to
bacco plants were late, and consequently
this crop is not quite so forward, but with
an accommodating fall, the markets will be
supplied. The above is what we have seen
and corroborates with reports from all parts
of the country. Greensboro'' Times.
Serious Affray. John and Washing
ton Holliday got into a dispute at James
ville on Sunday the 23d ult., and after
abusing each other for some time, separat
ed to go home. Late in the evening
Washington went down to a spring back of
his house, where John who had been lnying
in wait for him, knocked him down with a
club, and after beating him severely, left
him for dead. Washington, however, re
covering, returned to his house, took down
his gun, followed John home, and observing
him standing in the cornfield, shot over
his head without touching him. John then
went for his gun, and watching his oppor
tunity, shot Washington down. Several
small shot took effect iu his body, but he is
not considered dangerously wounded.
Williamston ( N. C.J Banner.
Most happy are we to chronicle the
fact that several humane gentlemen of this
city have opened at the corner of Richmond
and Fulton streets, rooms for the reception
of inebriates, who are there placed under
the charge of Mr. William Ruby, in the
hope that by moral suasion they may be
reformed. It is a movement which must
commend itself to every lover of temper
ance, and we trust that the experiment will
be most fully tested, and that it may not
lack for means. The forcible mode of
making drunkards temperate has been tried
and found wanting, and the time lias come
when the evil of inebriety is to be eradicated
by kindness and attention. The great and
prevailing domestic evil of this country is
intemperance, and to an injudicious use of
what is needful at times when used with
discretion, may be traced more sorrow and
sin than can be attributed to any other
cause. Boston Gazette.

CITY OF MOKEHEAD!!! I
GREAT SALE OF LOTS!!
ON THE ELEVENTH (UtiO DAY OF
November next, at the Cily ol Morehead, will be
sold at public auction, the Lots of said City.
This is the new Cuy laid off by the "Shepaid'a
Point Land Campany," at the terminus ol the At
lan ic and North Carolina Rail Road, at Beaulort
Harbor, N.C., immediately at the Atlantic Ocean.
The various Reports ol the (J. S. Coast Suiviy
establish the great excillencies ol this Harbor, lor
facility of entrance, depth ol water and security
from wind or wave, whilst Fort Macon completely
commands the entrance.
The interior communications by water and lund
mum make this a great C'omnieici d City. The
vast productions of the fertile valleys of the Roan
oke, i'ar and Neuse Rivera and the commerce ot
those great inland seas the Albemarle, Currituck,
Craotan and Pamlico Sounds, will u ach this tine
Harbor through Core Sound on the north, whilbt
Bogue Sound will bear on its bosom the agricultur
al products, lumber, naval stores and fine ship tim
ber of the regions lying south.
The A. & N. C. Rail Road which will be ready
for use by the first ol January next, passes through
the entire length ol the City to its what! iu 18 d et
water at low tide, and connects with the great N.
C. Kail Road (ol which it is a continuation) at
Goldeboro.
The N. C. Rail Road, among the ben in the
Union, 223 miles long, is completed to Chailotte.
where it connects through the South Carolina and
Georgia Rail Koads with Atlanta and the south
west; and by its western extension, now in lapid
progress, it is contemplated to reach the tiadf o
Memphis and the Mississippi Valley by the net.
woik ot all the rail ways that connect at Atlanta.
Chattanooga, or with tl.e East-Tennessee Rail
Road.
The Port of Beaufort, Chattanooga, Memphis
and St. Diego in the Pacitic, are about the same
parallel of laiutude ; and it that parallel be exu tid
ed across the Pacitic, it will reach Shanghai, the
nearest great fort on the eastern ( ontinent :
therefore, if the Pacdic Railroad ever be construe!,
ed (nud that should be done forthwith) why may not
this new City bec-me the Atlantic mart for the
commerce of th East Indu s ?
Two short Kailroada will connect the two great
Coal Fields ol the State, lying on the north and
south of the North Carolina Railroad, with that
road ; and it is confidently expected that a vast
coal trade will be carried on through the new city:
if so, may not Beaufort become a great coaling
Port, not only for purposes ol commerce, but to
furnish the supplies to steamers passing so near
the entrance going north and south ; and may not
the new city become that great "entre depot" be.
tween the north and south, to which our sble and
distinguished countryman, Lieut. Maury, nftts
in his unrivaled Statesmanlike paper on the com
merce of the Amazon, South America and the
Gulf of Mexico ?
The city of Morehead is situated on a beautiful
neck of land or dry plain, almost entirely surroui.d
ed with salt water: its climate is Mluortoiw i its
sea-breeze and sea-bathing delightlul ; its drinking
water good, and its fine chalybeate spring otrongly
impregnated with sulphur, will make it a pleasant
watering place.
As not a lot has been or will be sold until ihe
day of sale, all will have an equal chance to
get the best lots aud to suit themselves.
It will be the first instance of an entire new
city on the Atlantic coast being brought into
market at once ; and capitalists may never have
again such an opportunity for good investments,
for a ereat city must and will be built at this place.
