THE WOEKINGMAN.
The noblest men I know on earth,
Are men whose hands are brown with toil;
Who, backed by no ancestral graves,
Hew down the woods and till tbe soil,
And win thereby a prouder fame
Than folbws king or warrior's name.
The workingmen, whate'er their task,
To carve the stone or bear the hod
They wear upon their honest brows
The royal stamp and seal of God !
And brighter are the drops of sweat
Than diamonds in a coronet !
God bless the noble workingmen,
Who rear the cities of the plain,
Who dig the mines and build the ships,
And drive the commerce of the main;
God bless them, for their swarthy hands
Have wrought the glory of all lands.

"HONESTY IS THE BEST POLICY "
We have it from undoubted authority, that
j General Leach, the Know Nothing candidate for
j Congress in this District, the man who was first in
! Surry, and in other adjoining counties, openly and
j boldly, to proclaim it, that he had taken, and sub
scribed to those iniquitous oaths, which we pub
lished in our issue of the 20th of May, at Fraley's
Store in Iredell county, held up to the people
Secretary Cobb's Financial Report, telling them
that he was going from that document to show
some of the extravagant expenditures of the Ad
ministration; and at the same time stating, that if
what he was about to read were not true, then,
Secretary Cobb had not told the truth. The Gen
eral commenced reading, as from the above named
document, which he held in his hand, extravagant
items of expenditure, which his competitor, 3Ir.
Scales, at once detected as being fraudulent and
spurious not being contained in the Report of
Mr Cobb. Mr. Scales demanded the document,
placed his fingers upon its pages, and was about to
use it in reply, when the General discovered that
he had been detected, took it from the hands of
his competitor, and endeavored to conceal the fact
thai he had been reading from a base pamphlet,
laid within the opened book, that had been gotten
i up in the State of Virginia, for the purpose of
: traducing t!.e Administration of Mr. Buchanan,
i and of defeating the election of the Democratic
! candidate for Governor in that State, instead of
! from the document which he held in his hand,
j He slipped it from the closed lids of the Report,
i and handed back to Mr. Scales the bouk without
! the pamphlet.
Ilere, again, voters of the 6th Congressional
District, we forbear further comment, than merely
to say, that we could not, we would not, support
any man for a position so full of trust, so high and
responsible, as that of a member of Congress, who
would be guilty of such an act. It speaks for
itself. Let it be heard and remembered by the
people. Winston S' ntinei.

CAROLINA CITY HOTEL.
Parrott & Newborn, Proprietors.
11HIS Magnificent Hotel has been enlarged to near
ly double its original size, an addition of eighty
eight feet having been added on Railroad street, thus
presenting an imposing front immediately in view of
the Atlantic Ocean.
The veranda of this Hotel (which is three stories
high) fronts towards the Ocean two hundred and
eighteen teet, affording a
ifelighlful Promenade.
From this stand-point th beholder can scan the Ocean
in the south, Bogue Sound in the south-west, tin Har
bor with all its shipping, Fort Macon and three Light
House iu the south-east, affording a raugc of
OCEAN SCENERY
that is scarcely elsewhere to be met with.
The superintendence of this Hotel will be in the
hands of Mr H. ERAMBKET, (formerly of the Fay
etteville Hotel.) whose taste and skill so eminently
qualifies him for making all the guests feel as if they
were at home.
The best servants the country could afford have
been secured
Those who stop with us will never be at a loss for
RECREATION AND ENTERTAINMENT.
Our steamboat will make regular trips to Bwaufort,
the Inlet, the Fort, and often on Extra Excursions,
while our Band of Mcsic will be ever '-discoursing
sweet sounds " to the ear of those who shall favor us
with their Company.
Our BAR will f urnish choice liquors of all kinds:
our BILLIARD ROOM is in good order, and our BOW
LNG ALLEY will be constantly open for the enter
tainment of those who have ateste for these healthful
exercises, and our READING ROOM will contain files
of the best newspapers, magazines, and periodicals
published.
The sick will find our BATHING HOUSES a matter
of great comfort and a help to better health.
We feel assured that in every respect we can give
entire satisfaction: we shall, at least, spare uo pains to
do our whole duly, that all our guests may receive all
possible attention.
Take Notice. As the train arrives after dark each
evening, persons going to Beaufort will do well to stop
over niirht in Carolina City, as they can be conveyed
wherever they wish to go the next day. in a steamboat
or sail boats, and thus be saved the trouble of a dis
agreeable night trip across the water.

A MIRACLE IN NAPLES.
Liquefaction of the blood of San Gcnarro
A great Humbug.
Learning that the semi-annual miracle of the
liquefaction of the blood oi San Genarro was to
take place on Saturday, being the last day of its
eighth repetition, we repaired at an early hour in
the morning to the church of Santa Restituta, and
so great was tbe crowd that it was with difficulty
we could gain an entrance. The ceremony of
liquefaction is the greatest religious festival in the
kingdom, and such is the importance attached to
it by tbe ardent imaginations of the Neapolitans,
that all the conquerors of the city have considered
it a necessary piece of State policy to respect it.
Before proceeding to give an account of the
ceremony, I will explain what is meant by the
liquefaction. In the right aisle of the Cathedral
of Santa Restituta, is the chapel of San Genarro,
in which are preserved two phials said to contain
the blood of the saint. The ceremony ofliquefaction
takes place twice in the year, and is each time
repeated for eight successive days The tradition
of the church represents that when St. Janarius
was exposed to be devoured by lions in the
amphitheatre of Pozsuoli, the animals prostrated
themselves before him and became tame This
miracle is said to have converted so many to
Christianity, that Dracontius ordered the Saint to
be decapitated, which sentence was executed at
Sallatara in the year 80;j. The body was buried
at Pozzuoli until the time of Constantine, when it
was removed to Naples and deposited in the church
of San Genarro. At the time of this removal a
woman who is said to have collected the blood with
a sponge at the period of the martyrdom, took it
to two bottles to St. Severus, the bishop, in whose
hands it was said to have immediately melted.
The iron tabernacle which contains the phials is
secured by two bolts, one key being kept by the
municipal authorities, and the other by the ;
archbishop, and is only opened in the presence of i
the people.
The ceremony of the liquefaction commenced
On Saturday in the church of Santa Chiara, from
whence after mass an immense procession with
bands of music, choristers, bishops, priests and i
soldiers bearing crucifixes, banners and candles,
proceeded with the phials of blood to the cathedral. J
At the Cathedral, some time before the cere- j
monies commenced, a number ot old women, ot
the lower orders, who claim to be the relations of
Saint Janarius, collected around the balustrade of
the altar, exhibiting the most wild and uncontrolable
excitement. Some of these women were very old,
and exhibiting countenancesshrivelled and wrinkled
beyond anything in the form of humanity I have
ever seen.
The relics wero exposed in one of the side
chapels, called the Chapel of St. Cenarro, which
was magnificently decorated, the alter beiug
brilliant with gold ornaments and diamonds and
precious stones. The face of the alter is of massive
silver, cut in statutes of bas-relief, representing
the history of Cardinal CaratTo's bringing back the
head of the Saint to Naples. All the dukes and
princes were also present in the robes of royalty;
and soldiers with muskets and bayonets, were
scattered throughout the immense edifice, their
plumes waving over the heads of the people in
every direction. The Saints head, with a rich
mittre upon it it being fixed to the statue of the
Saint with an archbishop's mantle about the
shoulders of the statue, and a rich collar of diamonds
and cross about the neck, was the first sight that
attracted my attention. The bottles containing
the blood, one of which appeared like pitch clotted
and hard in the glass, were then shown to the
people and turned upside down to show that the
blood in it was hard and insoluble. They were
then placed on one side of the alter, one appearing
like a smelling bottle and only had a mere stain
of blood, whilst the other was larger, and seemed
to hold enough to fill a wine glass. They were
shown to the persons admitted within the balustrade,
among whom were a considerable number of
English Protestants. After being placed on the i
altar a glass was put over them through which
they could be seen by all present.
A series of masses was then commenced, at the !
conclusion of each of which the old women set up
m most fearful and unearthly howl, the diums and i
trumpets joined in the discordant blast, aud it was
difficnli to imagine such a horrible clamor to be
intended for Christian worship. They, however, j
seemed almost frantic with religious fervor, as did j
also the priests and a large portion of the people j
present, the cries, screams and sobbing pervading
every part of the edifice. These Classes were
eostinned from U o'clock in the morning until 5 j
o'clock in the afternoon without cessation, except i
for another processiou iu the afternoon, during j
which thirty fix c large, solid silver statues of saints j
and martyrs were carried by the soldiers. At the j
conclusion of the procession the Masses were again
resumed with all the accompaniments of excitement j
and clamor that prevailed in the morning, without
the desired liquefaction of the blood taking place.
At 5 o'clock, however, the glass was again removed
from tlie bottles, and the blood in the larger one
was found to be as limpid as water; and was shown '
to the people amid the greatest rejoicing, the
beating of drums, the clapping of bauds and ihe
blasts of trumpets. The old women were perfectly
wild with excitement, and many of them fell
down exhausted, while the roar of cannon from the ;
Castle of Almo announced to the people that the
miracle was consummated.
Whenever there was any number of English or !
Americans in the Cathedrial during the ceremony, '
soldiers were stationed near them, with special in
structions to allow no one to molest them. This
rather surprised me; but on inquiry I found that

THE HORRORS OF AUSTRIAN WAR
FARE.
j The horror committed by the hordes of savages
under the command of Gen. Gyulai arc only to be
equalled in the accounts of the invasion by At til.
At 8f in the morning, or thereabouts, a numerous
band of Austrian, in dirty and torn attire, entered
: the city of Tortona, and took up their position iu
the castle. Other bodies followed, so that the town
' was soon overrun with these boings, more like wild
beasts than men. Two superior officers called
: upon the municipal functionaries to demand food
; and forage to the amount of 50,000 rations but
i their conduct was not unbecoming; on the contrary
they seemed tolerably polite, and even the behavior
of the soldiers at first gave no causo to suspect
that they secretly meditated plundering the town.
Whatever our first hopes may have been, they
were not destined to last long, for very shortly a
company of Houlans issued from the castle, and
dividing, spread through the town. An alarm
spreading through the population, each shop-keeper
hastened to secure bin goods; but before they had
even time to shut their shops and stores, bands of
eight and ten soldiers presented themselves at
different points in the city, some seizing upon all
the goods they could arrive at, others preventing
the tradesmen from closing their doors by main
force. At the same time the sergeants and corporals
entered the shops, and by threats forced the owners
to bring out all the best things they had for the
soldiers to carry off.
The first goods plundered were those of Madame
Scotti, modiste, and of a merchant named Gallarati;
after these came those of the silversmiths, then
some provision stores and taverns. The general
bakehouse was plundered also, and scvoral hundred
sacks of the flour and wheat, besides a sum of
money, were carried off; the stables were all
robbed, and in every street you saw a Croat with
an ox or a horse which he was leading off to the
encampment, with a cool impudeuco which
persuaded one that they never had followed any
other trade than thieving. Meanwhile, a certain
number of them wended their way to tbe suburb
of St Bernardiuo, and entered the farm of Sinor
Stassano. who gave them as much food and diink
as they wished for. In fact, the libations were so
copious and frequent that at night they all returned
in a state of intoxication, howling like demons,
interspersing their howls with the epithet of "porca
Piemontesa" (as a welcome to any inhabitant they
might meet) firing their muskets into the windows
of the houses, and occasioning a general belief
that the town would be inevitably set on fire.
The citizens had no arms to resist, even Jiad they
been so disposed, and now have no food, and the
place is cleared out completely. The Bishop wan
assessed at 30,000 franes, some say 35,000, for hw
share of the war contingent. In the suburbs of
the town the same horrors took place; every house
was sacked and plundered by these ferocious brutes
who are styled the "defenders of public order,
sustainers of our nationality and our religion."
Now that this band of savages has satisfied its
appetite, it is leaving us. An order of recall has
arrived from headquarters, and they arc going off.
We hear that at Castelnuova-Scrivia Viguzzio,
and Prossecurone, the same outrages were committed
and by that threat of firing the town these bandits
extorted whatever they wanted from the poor
terrified trades-people.

Rkmedt for Scarlet Fkver A lady who has
had some experience in the treatment of scarlet
fever, and seen the following remedy used with
never failing effect, asks us to publish il tor the
b cut fit of our readers. It is as follows :
"Immediately on the first symptoms of scarlet
fever, which is sore throat, give a full dose of jalap,
to an adult 60, 70, or 80 grains; at night give
strong red pepper tea, from a tea cup full to a pint,
according to age and violence of symptoms; the
next day give a small dose of jalap, say half the
quantity given the day before, continue the pep
per tea at night; on the third day, if there is any
soreness remaining in the throat, give a dose of
salts, which will generally effect a cure; the dose
must of course be regulated according to the age
of the patieut."
The above remedy was used with great success in
South Carolina some years ago by Edward Chap
lin, who then furnished it for tbe public.
Pleasure Rides. On several occasions we
have noticed the assembling of ladies at funerals
merely to get rides to the burial grounds, aud have
pointed out the impropriety of this conduct, with
the hope of bringing about a reformation, bat so
fir little or no change has taken place the same
familiar faces arc seen in every procession, and the
public have become so accustomed to them, that
if one of the party is absent it is immediately con
cluded that Mrs or Miss is sick or out of
town. Even ou the streets these ladies are recog
nized as "universal mourners," and arc referred to
by that name only. Richmond Dispatch.
We can't quite Swallow It. The Medina
(Ohio) tells this as what it knows:
Mr Samuel Adams, who lives in tho Xorth of
Medina, owns a cow, which in April, 1853, he dis
covered choking to death. Not knowing what to
do, he took a broom-stick lying near and thnut it
into her throat to relieve her. The cow, not
relishing such proceedings, broke away from him,
and in her struggles also severed the broom-stick
in twain. Mr Adams, still more alarmed, again
caught the cow and thrust his arm into her throat,
but before he could reach tbe stick tbe cow had
swallowed it. She recovered from the choking,
and has since appeared as well as ever. The stick
remained in her until last Friday, upwards of 3
months, and mfasored just 18 inches. During
last summer Mr Adams noticed, while at his milk
ing, portions of food on the ground where the cow
bad Iain through the night, which had protruded
through a hole in her side. Last Friday the end of
the stick was visible at this hole, when It waB tak
en from her. The cow is doing well.
A Tittle three year old girl was riding in the care
with her mother a few days since, when a bdy re
marked, 'That's a pretty baby.' The little girl's
eyes flashed fire as she drew herself up to her full
height, and replied, 'I ain't a baby, I wear darter
boots and oops.' Blcs's her little sn-il.
