State Dental Society. The Annual .Meet ing of this Society was held in Salisbury on the 2sth ultimo. On account of the sniallness of the leans, soiae of whom were known to have been prominently connected with previous fillibustering enterprises. This excited suspicion in the mind of the Collector of the Port, that they meditated an uidawful expedition. Late last night about 150 men left New Orleans, the presumption being that they were going below the city to await the arrival of a steamer to convey them on their errand of conquest. A clearance had been asked for the steamer Philadelphia professedly for Chiriqui, but the Collector refused it. Orders have been tele graphed for the U. S. Artillery at Baton Rouge to be held in readiness for service. It is believed that the fillibusters have so arranu- S&r The Hon. H. S.

We are not surprised at Mr Foote 's being sick of caucusses ; be joined the know-nothing caucus, and tried to elevate himself by that means, but finding that he was mistaken, he very naturally feels sick of cau- cusses. As for conventions, he knows that no i respectable body of men in convention can ever again place confidence enough in him to nominate li i nt for an office. It is nothing strange for an ex-know-nolhing to oppose conventions. Dividends and profits in stocks Mortgages, Deeds in Trust, &c. RAILROAD CONVENTION. According to previous arrangements, delegates from Iredell and Mecklenburg counties assembled in Convention at StatesviHe on the 4th inst., for the purpose of aiding the building of a Railroad Studs and Jacks from Charlotte to StatesviHe, known as the Atlan- ! Marriage Licenses tic, Tenu. and Ohio Railroad. We find the pro ceedings in full in the StatesviHe Express. The Convention was temporarily organized by calling Andrew Springs, Esq, of this county, to the chair. Afterwards, A. K. Simonton, Esq, was elected President, and E. B. Drake and E. II. Britton, Esq'rs, Secretaries. The following gentlemen were appointed a com mittee to prepare business for the action of the convention: Jno. A. Young, Ceo. F. Davidson, It. I. McDowell, Anderson Mitchell, Moses White, and S. W. Davis. This committee made the fol lowing report: Whereas, The Leg-Mature of North Carolina at its session of 1854 T5f. granted the Atlantic, Tennessee A Ohio Railroad charter, authorising the construction of a Railroad from Charlotte, N. C., to the Ohio lliver, with the proviso, that said road should be commenced with Transit route, but the Administration has deter mined by all means in its power, including land and naval forces, to compel respect to the Neutrali ty Law.

Dg at YVentWorth, N. C, on the 29th of Sept. by the shortest practicable routes, to the Atlantic mar kets at W i Imington and at Charleston NOTES OP TBAVEL Bishop G. F. Pierce, who traveled to California on the overland mail route, has been writing some very readable letters to the N. O. Christian Advo cate, describing his journey and the country. Speaking of the emigrants he saw on the road, he says : 'The emigration from Texas to California is very heavy. The Atlantic States yield thousands to Texas; and Texas, in her turn, sends them to the Pacific; and, to my astonishment, I find scores here about to go back to Texas. An American hu manity is a restless one; most commonly, one move unsettles a man for life." "At Barilla Springs we found a large train of emigrauts. Two ladies came down to the stage to have a talk The oldest said she was moving sim ply to follow her daughter; ihe daughter said she was following her husband. I inquired into their history a little. They had moved from Tennessee to Mississippi; then to Texas, now to California. I said, "1 suppose you will go next to the Sandwich Islands'"' The young one replied with some spirit, "If ever I get to California, Jtou may bet your bot tom dollar that I'll never move again." Of the face of the country and its curiosities, the Bishop says : "The ralleva are poor generally, and naked. In them are to be found those curiosities of the West "Dog-towns." The prairie dog is a marvel in natural history. These little animals live in com munities. They burrow in the ground, and a pile of dirt marks the mouth of every habitation. Some of them are mere villages, others may be classed as towns, and Others as cities. Nothing but popula tion, however, marks the difference. The dog is about as large as a "fice" nine days old. Bold and brave as he affects to be, he never barks till he gets home and feels secure of his re treat below. The sound of an intruding footstep brings every dog to the top of his hole, and nV chorus of barks is wonderful. A litter of a thou sand hungiy pups would resemble it very much. I presume they live on rass; at any rate, where they are numerous, no grass is left; the earth is as naked as a highway. The most remarkable fact about them remains to be stated. The rattle-snake and a species of owl dwell with the dogs. These all live together in peace and friendship. Of this there is no doubt I saw the owls go in and come out; the snakes were lying by; neither seemed afraid of the other. Those who dug into the holes assured me that ev ery house contained some of each." Wages in California. A San Francisco I writer, of late date, says the following is about the j rates of wages now paid : Carpenters, from $4 to j 7 per day; bricklayers and masons, from $4 to 86; j blacksmiths, wheelwrights, machinists, painters, tinsmiths, from $3 to 84.50; common laborers, $3; ! farm hands from 830 to 840 per month and found; ' servants, from 825 to 840 per month, and found; cooks, from 830 to 860. Flour 8240 a Barrel. At the last accounts ' flour was selling on the island of Hay ti at two ; hundred and forty dollars per barrel! That looks i like a high price but the money was Ilaytien i currency, which is like our old continental money. ; About 820 of it is worth one silver dollar. CHARLOTTE MARKET. October 11, 1859.

Five female hands had to leave the field three times during the day to nurse their children, losing each two hours, and at noon all the hands losing oue hour. Wadesboro Argus. Sentenced. On Thursday evening, Hogue, convicted of the murder of Parish, in this City some time since, was sentenced by his Honor Judge Shepherd to be hanged on Friday the 28th day of this month.

A case of yellow fever occurred here to-day the first during the season. Accounts represent the Cotton crop of Louisiana as first rate; the Sugar crop inferior and small. The question has been asked: Why it is consid ered impolite for gentlemen to go into the presence of ladies in their shirt sleeves, while it is consid ered every way correct for ladies to appear before gentlemen without any sleeves at all ? A young lady married a farmer, and wishing to provide linsey for domestic use, asked her husbaud to send down South and buy a cotton ram, so that they could raise their own cotton-wool.
