WttAT THE DEED SCOTT CASE DE
u
:
;..': - CIDED. 1 v
In the 19th vol.' of Howards Reports, pace 395,
it is stated that the Supreme Court of the United
Mates decided m the Dred Kcott case as, follows?
The territory thus acquired by the people
of the United States for their common and equal
benefit,' through their agent and trustee, the Fed-1
eral Government, CongTesa can exereise no power.
over the rights of persons or property of a citizen
in the territory which Is prohibited by the Consti-r
tution. I he Oovernment and the citizen, when
ever the Territory is open to settlement, both enter
it with their respective rights defined and limited
by the Constitution." '"- -;-.-- ' ' :
' 2. "Congress have no right to prohibit the citi
zen of any particular State or States from taking
up their home there, while it permits citizens ot
any particular State or States to do bo. Nor has it
a right to give privileges to one class of citizens
which it tefuses to another. V -The Territory is ac
quired for their equal and common benefit, and if
open to any must be open to all upon equal and
the same terms." 4 -r-s ? ;
3. "Every citizen has a right to take with him
into the 'Territory any article of property which
the Constitution of the United States recognizes
as property." ' ' - .;
' 4. "The Constitution recognizes slaves as prop
erty, and pledges the Federal Government to pro.
tect it. And Congress cannot exercise any more
authority over that description of property than it
may constitutionally exercise over property of any
other kind." ; - ; . ; - - :
5. " The act of Congress, therefore, prohibiting
a citizen of the United -States taking with him his
slaves when he removes -to the Territory in ques
tion to reside,' is an exercise of authority over pri
vate property which is not warranted by the Con
stitution, and the removal of the plaintiff -by his
owner to that Territory gave him no title to free
dom "
6. " While it re nains a Territory Congress may
legislate over it within the scope of its constitution
al powers in relation to citizens ; of the United
States and may establish a territorial government,
and the form of this local government must be
regulated by the discretion of Congress; but with
powers not exceeding those which Congress itself
by the Constitution is authorized to exercise over
citizens of the United States in respect to their
rights of persons or of property." -
W. C. & Rr Railroad. The Work on the
Wilmington, Charlotte and Rutherford Railroad,
beyond Charlotte, we understand, being vigorously
prosecuted, and track laying is - making rapid
headway." In this neighborhood the work is also
being carried on with energy. - The bridge across
the Pee Dee is in a very forward state, the laying
of the stone, which had been dressed and got ready
during the winter, having been commenced some
two months ago. The indications are that the
bridge will be finished some time before the rails
are laid to the river.- Wadcsboro' Argus. - ' ' '
r: The War with China. :It ; is "predicted that
the war of England and . France with China, will
be long, desultory and unproductive.;' The defeat
of the British flotilla last year has elated the
Chinese beyond - measure,- and they have made
extraordinary preparations for the coming contest.
The vastneas of v the population,, even if it offered
no resistance, would render an armed occupacy of
the country almost as impracticable as the occu
pacy of the Pacific. - Nothing would belong to the
invaders but such waves of this great ocean of
humanity as might be just under their heels. , To
blockade a few ports and hold some important towns,
will be all that can be accomplished. .-. The idea of
going to war seriously with this enormous and
absurd mass of humanity, is,-" beneath, the dignity
of England and France. It will be as troublesome
as pig-driving, with one drover to a thousand swine.

EEPOBT OP THE HABPEB'S PEBBY
Ty committee. ' r '-"
On the 15th ult., the Senate Select Committee
on the Harper's Ferry raid made a report, signed
vLDy Senators Mason," Davis : and . Fitch. 4 1 They re-
.-j view at great length all the circumstances connect
ed with that raid, and quote largely from the volu
minous testimony. They speak of the insecurity
of the peace and safety of some of the Southern
States, in the existing condition of. the public
Northern mind. , - It may, not', they sayj . become
them to suggest a duty in those States to provide
by proper, legislation against the ' machinations
within their borders destructive of the peace of
their eon federated; Republics, but it did become
them fully to expose, the consequences resulting
from the present .license .there,, existing to the
peace and integrity of the -Union, ..which is neces
sarily to involve in its continuance.- c -.. '
"The Tepbrt also traces' the history of the4 large
armament collected by John Brown, at Harper's
Ferry? The committee say there can be nodoubt
that Brown's plan was to commence a servile war
on the borders of Virginia, which he expected to
extend,' and which he believed his resources " were
sufficient to extend through that State and through
tne entire coutu.,Xt does not seem, ne en
trusted even his iutimate friends with his plans
fully, even after they were out for execution; nor
have the committee been able - clearly to trace a
knowledge of them to" any one." The committee
after mature consideration, are not prepared: to
suggest any legislation-which in their opinion would
be adequate to prevent like occurrences iu the
future.-"-'r"-''.';-'; ''T"': " 7'ir . ' -1;t
The report speaks of the constitutional duty to
protect States against in vasiondouiestic insurrecr
tion, eto. Brown's raid was simply the act of law-,
less ruffianism, under the sanction of no public or
political authority. vSo far as the safety of the
public property is involved, the committee would
earnestly recommend "that such provisions should
be made by the Executive, or, if necesary, by law
to 'occupy, under an adequate military guard,,! the
publie armories and arsenals of the United States,
in the same manner that the uavy 3-ards are now
protected. ' . . ' , ,"' " .
;-The minority of the committee (Senators Colla
mer and Doolittle) make a minority report. .They
say there is no evidence that any other citizen
except those who were with Brown, were accessory
to any outbreak or invasion by contributions,
threats or otherwise; nor , any proof' jhat any others
had any knowledge of the conspiracy or its purposes
in the year 1 859. They say,! too, there is no evi
dence to show that there was a conspiracy to rescue
Brown ot his associates from the prison in Virgin
ia. " - f.--. j, '4t .s ;i ; r i,
. Time and. reflection have happily dissipated
much of the alarm' and 'suspicion, and shown that
this was but an offehot from the exciting outrages
and lawlessness in Kansas, commenced and contin
ued there by an armed invasion of that territory,
to control its own people "the elections and the
Government, Tor the introduction aud perpetuity
of slavery in that territory, on one hand, and resis
tance or defiance on the other. Ihe committee
say there is no fact calling for legislative action.
1 hey insist there is no such matter presented in
the testimony, 'or in fact, as is more than intimated
in the report, that even the abolitionists in the
free States took a course covertly intended to pro-.

Our friend of the Raleigh Register leads the
way, of course,' in bringing before us the renown
ed glories of olden times, such as ad valorem, hie,
lie.cthoc, and the like. A correspondent of that
paper too, shows his pluck in this particular, " and
heads an article thus: -."auovsaue tandem abnfere
CataU'na patientia nostru? - , " ; . . ' ' "
" Just look ,at it ?,'-Is . ifc not most profoundly
edifying to .the feople? t' It must be if .the Oppo
sition say so, ,We" suppose the English of this
sentence, if any body can' be excused fortranslat
iiig any thing so sublime into such yulgar diction:
"Hoir long, oil Cataline, wilt thou abuse our p'i
tience..'1 ' The tyj6graphical "corps cannot fall " to
discern what depth of thought, wbat digging of
the intellect was required to bring this thing' forth.
What is the English we have given compared to
the quousgutior the tandem? Nothing at all, as
the ad valorem J arniy will testify nothing ina
matter of edification arrd enlightennient. t

we may expect to see theRegister comeout, some

munication from Mr Howell, of, Warsaw, Milton
county, G a., upon the subject of .'Colic in Horses.'.
I am ready to testify to the fact that I can give a
remedy that will cure a horse in ten minutes, and
will not cost you a cent, (only the trouble,) as fol-,
lows: . You put your knee against the horse's fore
head and pull his ears a few. times, and in less
than fifteen minutes he will be up eating.. w I can
get witnesses' to testify to the fact. , I have ncvei
known a horse to die to which the . above remedy
was given. . - "?1 . . A CL, Ballard. tr

of Major Ormsby, at the Indian battle and . massa
cre of the whites, near Pyramid Lake: '.-,.''
Poof Meredith, Ood never made a 'better man,
and young'Joe Baldwin, both fought as -brave as
over did any man, and to think that Baldwin, who
was only about fiftecn years of age'should act 'so
cooly and so bravely, lie fought like a tiger And
then there was my jrarra friendMajor -Ormsby;
poor fellow, be was shot in the,uppcr, vpart"of the
mouth with an arrow in the beginning of the fight
but he did uot mind it at all, till the poison did its
work. - I have it front one of the ; men that held ,
his head, while another pulled the arrow, that they
got the arrow out, but the barb' remained. . -.-;
. Then he. was shot in the arm and again, through
the shoulders, from one side to the other, still
he remained on his horse till it was shot from; tin
der him and then I.e took'ybung Baldwins nmU;,
anl remained on if imtil he could stand 'it hot lon
ger, and then Bald wiu helped to take hiiu off hia
mule and placed his saddle-bags under his -'head,
when Ormsby "says "go on boya, l.you . can do lio
more for me!" and ina'few mitmles ,he! was no
more-3 One Indian was killed in the net of scalp
ing him and" Baldwin killed another Indian," very
near him that was in the act of scalping another of

ClIABACTER" AND PeCULIARITT OF SALT LAKE.
Every reader has heard of Salt ' Lake,' hut very
few persons know anything of its extent and. -peculiar
nature. A writer speaks thus: i 'L -5 y -
That this lake should be all salt is no anomaly.
All large bodies of water into which streams dis
charge themselves," while they have severally no
outlet, are or should be salt: Tlf one siich is fresh,
that is an anomaly, indeed. Lake Utah, probnbly,
receives as much saline matCir as Salt Lake,-but
she discharges it through the Jordan, and remains
herself frcsh;' while Salt Lake, having no ifsue,
save by evaporation, is, probably, the saltiest body
of water on earth. The " ocean is comparatively
fresh; even the Mediterranean, at r Leghorn' is not
half so salt. I am ; told that three barrels of this
wateryields a barrel of salt that 1 seems rather
strong, yet its intense saltness, no one who has not
had it in his eyes, his mouth, his nostrils,' can foc
alize. You can no more sink in' it than in 0 -elay
bank; but a very little of it in your Jungs would
suffice to strangle you. You make way in from a
hot, rocky beach, over ' a chaos of volcanic baxalt
that is trying to the feet., but at -'the depth of a
yard-or more -you have'' a fine and bottom, and
here the bathing is delightful. ' The water is of a
light green color ' for about ten or twenty rods,
then "deeply darkly, beautifully blue."- No fish
can live in it; no frogs abide "iu it; few birdn are
ever seen dipping in it. ' ?-rr--

In the case'of the bite of a dog where the teeth
of the aniriial penetrated -the' flesh, whether the
clog- was known to be mad 'or-' not,-'- he " should use
the . same precautions. He would wash the wound
with warm water extract all the virus possible by
sucking the wound with hif lips, and then "cauter

3 days" to as'many years, but if no effects were felt
after two or three months, v as a general thing the
patient might 'feel -himself ' eafc. '-Bites made
through clothing are seldom productive or much
harm", as even if the dog is' mad, " the 'clothing ab
sorbs U13 virus before"- the' teeth reach " the flesh.
