A lamentable case of arson, resulting in the death of Lenion -Price, oc curred in this county, on last Wednesday night. The deceased had been at a grogshop belonging to his nephew, James Price" during the evening and had been "intoxicated. He lay down to sleep in the vicinity of the grog shop, and was, after some time, carried into the shop by one Joe or Josiah Smith, xwho, with his wife, are accused of having perpetrated the horrid deed. Smith coi. esses to having carried or helped deceased into the shop, and to having locked him up there merely as a place of safety. Smith's wife, Ann, has ahjo con fessed that she was the cause of the burning of the shop, and also of Price's death. The " con fession of both, as to these facts, was in evidence before the Coroner's Jury, and constitutes, we be lieve, the main ground of the verdict reudered by that body; and by virtue of which the aecused, Joe Smith and Ann, his wife, were lodged in jail last Saturday. That the burning of the shop was the work of an incendiary, is put beyond all doubt, by the quantity of combustible material, such as fence rails, &c, found in the vicinity after the fire. The unfortunate man was so completely con sumed as to defy recognition. He was some 55 or 56 years of age, lived a dissolute life, and has died a horrid death, at the hands of some demon far worse than himself GoUlsboro liovyh A'otes. .-; m m Cincinnati Hog Trade.

A 'The clause in the Constitution of North Caro lina, prohibiting Jews from holding office, is a blot upon the good name of the Commonwealth and should . be rescinded. It is probable that another effort will be made at the next session of the Legis lature to secure its removal, r The mode of effect ing the object is a. matter of indifference to us, but we cannot withhold our .approval of the movement and -the -expression' of our hope that it will suc ceed. As Presbyterians and friends to civil and religious , liberty, we regard the clatse as odious and intolerant, and shall rejoice to seent expunged from our Constitution If.- C. Presbyterian ! " More than two years" ago, this paper was the first in the1 State to take the ground now occupied by the Presbyterian and several other journals, as to .il l". , .1 -w - me political ngnts ot tne dews. ; We now take occasion to express the opinion that the clause ot. the Constitution of North Carolina which forbids that ministers who have the care of souls, shall occupy a seat in the Legislature, is an infringement upon the rights of citizenship, and an invasion ot the principles of religious liberty. It is as clearly apart of the religion of ministers of the gospel to have the care of souls, as it is of laymen to be members of the Church. The Protestant minister of the gospel is as good a citizen, . so far as history defines the expediency oi aiscnmination, as a itoman Uatholic layman. Judge baston s defense of the rights of Catholics, in the Convention which made the Constitution, was successful, and has added a halo to his fame And yet that same instrument excludes ministers of Christ from the halls of legislation ! What in consistency I ' - . ;It would be difficult to snow that laymen, com municants of the Church, may be safely admitted to " the Legislature, for reasons which would ex clude ministers.' We - deprecate the fall of preachers into the political discords of the day and we also depre cate n similar tall ot laymen the one is as good or bad as the other.' We should be sorry to see a minister neglecting his appropriate duties in the pursuit of office: but' we are aware of no cause why the Constitution should hedge up the preacher to nis appropriate woric, ana leave otner people tree to - indulge in -a neglect of it. A preacher, by preaching, does not acquire legal immunities; and certainly he should lose none. His religion should no more be fenced in by legal disabilities than the religion of other people. N C. Christ' n Advocate. From the Savannah Republican, Aug. 18th. Slop the Murderer! $1,000 Reward! Our readers will recollect that sometime since a double murder was committed in Pikevillc, Ala., the vic tims being two brothers, John M. and Andrew Allman. At the request of Mrs Rosa M. Allinan, who has been left a widow by the tragedy, we cheerfully publish the following, and hope our contemporaries and the press generally will aid the cause of justice by doing likewise: One thousand dollars reward will be given for the apprehension and delivery iu the town of Pikcville, Marion county, Ala.', of William Little, one of the murderers of John M. and Andrew All- man." ' . ' Description: Said Little is between 22 and 23 years ot age, - about O tect iu or 11 inches high, thin face, spare built, will weigh about 14d or 150 pounds, pale complexion, blue eyes and dark hair. On the morning before he left he received a wound on the head with a stick, which cut about one and a half inches; over and around the cut his head was shaved He also had one - or two, slang ex- pressions wnich will note tne man. w hen aston ished,' or wishing to express approval, he invari ably, says, "Well, ain't that awful," or "Well, that's powerful'. wr' He has rather a downcast look and nevor will gaze in a man's face. ; When not speaking, his lips are generally, parted, walks very much like a bund horse, has little or no beard ex cept n the chin, and that is very thin. The said Little is a son of Ab. Little, living on the Baylor Road, Jn Winston , county, Ala., and was a. mem ber of the firm of G. W Little & Co.f selling goods in. the town of Pikevillc," Ala. ; .

Will all the papers in the United States please give- this pn insertion, and assist me in bring ing ther assain -to justice, who secreted himself and shot down niy husband, leaving me a broken hearted widow, with an infant three months old. Bought a Ulsijand. A neat and pretty maiden, iu Sullivan county, Indiana, the heiress of a handsome .property, made a mutual matrimonial engagement with a homely, . penniless, awkward and uncultivated -youth' of .eighteen, but as the time drew -near fur the-consummation of their plighted vows, the prospective .groom informed his intended . as follows: My father. says I shan't marry unless I first pay him for.aiy time!" This unwelcome:. intelligence did -not disspirit the fair maiden. With that perseverance which distin guishes woman's . heart, she immediately author ized her swain to learn of his father what amount would pay, for his time. The sum required was 200, the money was by her advanced, the father was satisfied, the purchase made, and the marriage ceremony was performed.--. Since that time a mark ed improvident personally, morally, and intellect ually, is visible iu that $200 husbaud. ; SA" correspondent informs us that there is a gentleman residing on Waccamaw river, in Co lumbus county, who is eighty-one years old, has been -..married three times.

Of potatoes, there will be only a fair crop. - Ohio. -In Ohio, the wheat crop is equal in quantity, and quality to any ever known, and has been harvested in good order. The hay crop ii a heavy one. Oats fair, and corn promising well. The grain crop of 1859 was about 136,000,000 Vushels, and will be more this 'year. .Of wheat aone the yield will be fully 30,000,000 bushels 6,000,000 more than was ever produced before. Indiana. In Indiana, the wheat crop is rich in quantity and quality, and the yield will be more than an average one. Corn is better than has been known for a long time. Wisconsin. In Wisconsin, the wheat product last season, in round numbers, was about 15,000, 000 bushels. This year it promises to be much larger, as there is far more land sown,, with a pros-, pect of an extraordinary yield to the acre. Nebraska. In Nebraska Territory the crops were never more promising. A large yield of grain has been secured, and corn is unusually heavy. California. From California the most relia bio advices pronounce the wheat harvest as very promising, and likely to afford a large surplus for shipment. . Minnesota. Minnesota will export more grain this year than the total yield of the Territory for four years psst. ' Michigan. From Michigan there is cheering news of the crops. The clip of wool for this year will exceed that of last year by about a ' quarter of a million of pounds. . Last year's clip was estima ted at 3,000,000 pounds. The SouTn. While the West is full of re joicing at the magnificence of the harvest, a dark cloud of despondency seems to hang over the Southern States. The long protracted drought has proved most destructive to crops, and it is es timated that in cotton, corn and hay, the planters will experience a loss of several millions of dollars. There were fine rains, however, in Georgia, on the 28th and 20th ultimo. Much of the corn was too far advanced to be materially benefitted by tho visitation. Not for years has so long and so severe a drought been experienced. In some sections no rain has fallen since the first of April. This is especially true of Texas, Louisiana and Georgia. I learn from a gentleman direct from the Northern part of Texas and South-western Missouri that vegetation in these sections was entirely dried up, and that in many counties in Texas slaves, and in some cases their masters, were offering ihcir services for their food alone. Many are leaving for districts less heavily afflicted. In Alabama, Florida, Mis sissippi, Arkansas, Louisiana and Kansas the crops have been not only oppressed by the drought, but within the last mouth they have had to strug gle for existence in the face of a sun of almost torrid brilliance and power, dewlcss nights, and the prevalence (iu some parts) of high scorching winds, which shriveled up vegetation as if a siroc co had pissed over it. The consequence of such weather is obvious. In Kentucky matters look somewhat ' more cheering, but the crop will be much below the average. Tennessee yields finely of tobacco and corn, and the fruit crop will be abundant. . Maryland furnishes an average crop of wheat, but both here and there the peach crop is poor. It is Said that the drought in Texas is so general and so extreme that the large emigration flowing into the State has been checked, as many families from Alabama and other Southern States are returning to their former homes. LlFE of John RklL Jhi an intimate acquain tance. The lion. John 1MI was born on Mason and Dixon's line, of ricli but pious parents, and was noted for his ringing voice. 1 1 is extreme per sonal b'eauty suggt'd that delicious poem, in which the poet aks his friend, Brandon: "Did you ever sec the b:iu(.:ful Bell, Brandon." He spent the earlier part of his life on a planta tion, acquiring such lino cultivation, that his epistolary efforts arc regarded with admiration by the whole world, and no man is considered a good scholar who is not familiar with Dell's letters. As Mr Dell grew to manhood, he gradually eschewed all youthful society, and cultivated "old", gentle men exclusively, and was noted lor Ins venerable virtues.. On one occhmiou he won the friendship of a tea-total society of- old maids; under the fol lowing circumstances." Reiug an Led if ho believed the use-of tobacco to be injurious, ho promptly replied: . "If tobacco is chewed in a certain way it will do no harm to any one." "How is that?" anked an antiquated Miss. "It fchould be e-chcwcd," returned the eminent statesman. . - In reference to Mr JJcII'h public career, thy tell the following: ' Ankcikitk. As Mrlfedl was going from the Senate Chamber to his hotel, after delivering his celebrated speech on the re-opening of the slave trade, he was overtaken by a prominent politician from one of the Northern States, who saluted him with:. " " "I say, Rell, that was a good eech of yours; but you are always too solemn, and your friends have told you so often," "Well," leplied the Senator, "how can a Bell help soundingToletun when it is tolled w often?" "Immediately after - this, the subject of our me moir was seized with a severe fit of sickness; yet even that did not quench his spirit. When the doctor asked him how he felt, oue morning, be replied: "Oh, I feel all sound, like any other Dell." If Mr Rell is . elected to stay at home, he' will adorn that position and write for the Ledger. tgjr A man starving for bread in New York city, robbed another offve cent to bujr a loaf of bread, and Justice Quackenbush sent him to jail in default of 9 2,000 bail for trial for the heinous offence. i
