'Tis hard to cast a lingering look Upon oar childhood's home, And bid adieu to scenes endeared, In stranger lands to roam. 'Tis sad to part with those we love ; To sever social tie Tho' separation more than aught, The truth of friendship tries. 'Tis bard to clasp th' extended hand And breathe a fond farewell, To her whose gentle pressure speaks, E'en more than tongue can tell. 'Tis sad to look into the eye That oft has met our own, And think the brightest joy of life, For one brief year has flown. But sadder still the spectre-thought Which haunts the absent heart ; That few indeed so fondly meet, As feelingly they part. The Great Clothing Emporium Fullings, Springs &.

How thiM desirable end is to be accomplished is not stated.J Hon. Bedford Brown made a speech in which he expressed the opinion that the election of Lliidblu wan no cause for dissolution, though he thought the South ought lo prepare to resist fur ther aggressions. In the House, Mr Simon ton of Iredell, offered the following resolutions : Resolved, By the General Assembly of North Carolina, that all the rights guarantied to the citi zens of North Carolina by the Constitution of the United States and the laws of the country, shall be maintained and defended under the circum stances at every hazard. Eesolved, That while we strongly condemn the unpatriotic doctrine? of the Black Republican par ty in the late Presidential election, yet we declare that the election of Abraham Lincoln and Hanni bal Hamlin to the offices of President and Vice President of the U. S, is, of itself, no cause for a separation, by violence or otherwise, of the links which bind together our common country. These resolutions were referred to the committee on federal relations. Mr Russ of Wake, whig, offered the following resolution, which was ordered to be printed: Resolved, That the committee on Federal Rela tions be instructed to inquire, into the expediency of making provision by law for the appointment of Commissioners to visit and confer with Commis sioners of other Stales interested in domestic sla very, to agree upon some plan to protect their con stitutional rights and preserve the Union of the States, and that they report by bill or otherwise. Mr Cowles offered a bill to prevent any one but officers of the road from passing free over any Railroad in which the State is interested. A good idea. Mr Fleming introduced a bill to prohibit the emancipation of slaves by Will or devise. On Saturday the 24th, the Speaker of the House appointed the following committees: On Banks Messrs Hill, Bridges, Mendenhall, Rogers, and Davis of Mecklenburg. On Constitutional Reform Messrs Wright, Mer rimob, Batchelor, Hill and Shober.- . . Ss& The news from the election in Oregon re ports Lincoln 250 ahead, with three counties to hear from. KiT The Governor of Missouri has ordered out troops to protect the people of the frontier of that State against the attacks of Montgomery, the no torious free-soil leader. Late dates from Mexico state that the British Embassy at the city of Mexico had been sacked and robbed of one million dollar. The British lion will roar now. More Volunteers. It is very gratifying to learn that in the secession movement, inaugurated by South Carolina, we have the solid sympathy of the Southern States. From all quarters, the Gov ernor is receiving tenders of volunteers by individ uals, companies and regiments of rifle companies, sharp-shooters, cavalry and artillery, from Virginia, Mississippi, Georgia, Alabama and Tennessee. A French Zouave officer in Philadelphia offers to raise a company or regiment of Zouave Chasseurs, and individual officers tender their services to raise all sorts of companies. The South is truly roused. Cuiu mb ia Ca roll num. The State Convention in South Carolina is called for the purpose of Seceding that of Georgia for Deliberating and those of Alabanra, Mississippi and Louisiana for Consulting. NOTICE.

The Republican "jubilee," at Springfield, TBI , on the night of the 19th, has been noticed. Tbe speech of Mr Lincoln in reply to a serenade," con tains nothing more than was published, but the speech of Senator Trumbull was promised before, the jubilee to be the reflex of Mr Lincoln's views, and is, therefore, of mofo or less interest at the South. The following is an extract: j.- ' Upon national topics Senator Trumbull discoun tenanced the idea of triumphing over poutic.il - op ponents, accepting all, by whatever name called, as brethren of a common country. He , said Mr Lincoln although the candidats of the Itepublicun party, as Chief Magistrate will neither belong to that or any other party when inaugurated. He will be the President of the country, and of the whole country; and I doubt not will be ss ready to defend and protect the State in which he has not received a solitary vote against any encroachment upon its constitutional rights, as the one in which he received the largest majority. While they by whose votes he has been designated as Chief Mag istrate of the people, will expect him to maintain and carry forward the principles on which he was elected, they know that in doing so no encroach ments will be made on the reserved right of any States. They know that the Federal Government is one of delegated powers; that it can do nothing except the authority for the act can be found in the instrument which creuted it; that all powers not conferred are reserved to the States or the people of the States. Hence, when their political, opponents have charged them with abolitionism, or attributed to them a desire to interfere with slavery in theStates, or some fanatic hus insisted they ought to do so, the reply has invaribly been that the people, who made the federal government, did not think prop er to confer on it such authority, and it has there fore, no more right to meddle with slavery in a State than it has to interfere with serfdom in Rus sia Nor are the people in the non-slaveholding States in any way responsible for slavery in the States which tolerate it, because as to that ques tion they are us foreign to each oiher as indepen dent governments. I have labored in and for the republican organization with entire confidence that, whenever it should be in power, each and all of theStates would be left in as complete control of their own affairs, and at as perfect liberty to chose and employ their own means of protecting property and preserving peace and order within their respective limits, as they have ever been un der any administration. Those who have voted for Mr Lincoln have expected and still expect this. They would not have voted for him had they ex pected otherwise. 1 regard it as extremely fortunate for the peace of the whole country that this point, upon which the Republicans have ben so long and so persis tently misrepresented, is now to be brought to a test and placed beyond the possibility of doubt. It should be a matter of rejoicing to all true Re publicans that they will now have an opportunity of demonstrating to their political adversaries and to the world that they arc not for interfering with the domestic institutions of any of the States, nor the advocates of negro equality or of amalgamation, with which political demagogues have so often charged them. When this is shown, a Teaction will assuredly take place in favor of Republicanism. The Southern mind even will be satisfied; the rights of southern men will be respected, and the fraternal feeling existing in olden times, when the men from all parts of the countiy went forth togeth er to battle for a common cause against a common enemy, will be restored. The above is the substance of Mr Trumbull's remarks. A Prohibitory Tax A Stat Law, &c. There seems to be a general, we might almost Bay undivided, sentiment in favor of imposing such a tax upon Northern goods of every description which may be hereafter offered fur sale, as would amount to an entire prohibition within the States. If it be left to the private will of the individual c'tizen to determine whether he will trade for those goods, we believe, as we have always believ ed, that the virtue of self-denial is not sufficiently strong or prevalent amoug the people to resist the temptations of cheapness and comfort ; but if the strong arm of tbe law be interposed, there can be little doubt that the desired result may be attained. Kvefy good citizen is willing now to undergo any resonable privation, in order to secure the object which everything, heretofore attempted, has failed to secure, viz : the restoration of the fanatics of the North to their senses, in regard to the consequen ces of their mad conduct. Nothing short of a dissolution of the Union, except a most painful ex perience of the entire loss of our trade, will ever convince thore people of tbe dreadful delusion un der which ihey are laboring. Some persons have suggested in addition to a prohibitory tax a general '-stay law" in favor of Southern debtors against Northern creditors which we think would be another very effectual remedy. Wilmington Herald. Sons of Temperance. The Grand Division met in Lincolnton on the 14th inst., nearly one hundred delegates present. The report of the Grand Scribe presents really an encouraging exhibit, as tohe condition of tbe Order in the State; an increase of membership of more than one thousand over all our losses.

DOUGLAS AT NEW ORLEANS. Judge Douglas' Reception in New Orleans on the 9th inst., was very enthusiastic Immediately after his arrival at the St. Charles Hotel, Mr. Douglas addressed from the balcony the immense crowd who were hurrahing and cheering in the street. The following ia an extract from his brief speech: . This is no time to despair or to despond. The bright sun will soon chae away these clouds, and the patriots of the land, laying aside partisanship nd forgetting former partisan strife, will rally as one man aud throttle the enemies of our country. Cheers. J Although an abolitionist may have been elected to the Presidency of the United States, the gallant fiaht which the Democracy have made in the Northern States has securnd Representative enough, united with the South, to put Mr Lincoln and his administration in a minority in both houses of Congress. Cheeis. There is no act he can do which will violate or impair the rights of any citizen of any State of this Unir-n. Cheers. This is no time to indulge in crimination or re crimination The contest for the Presidency hss ended, and with it allow the asperities which it has generated to pass awy. Cheers " Rut re must never forget the principles upon which we tand. Cheers. I can make any sacrifice short of prin ciple. Mea are of no consequence, principles are everything. Cheers. In the contest, then, with the flag of the Union over us, and non-interference by Congress on the subject of slavery still em blazoned upon our banners, the National Democ racy will drive back abolitionism, put down sec tionalism and restore peace and harmony to thia glorious country. Cheers. Non-interference by a territorial legislature with slavery, also, must be acknowledged, before peace is established. Letter from Gov. Lktcher or Virginia. The Richmond Enquirer, publishes an important letter from Gov. Letcher of Virginia, in reply to John S. Brisbin, of Pennsylvania, who had previ ously written to the Governor, ridiculing the idea of secession, and stating thnt two hundred Virgin ians has tendered him their command in the event of disunion, &o. The Governor, in his reply to Mr Brisbin, administers a severe rebuke to North ern nullific ition, and shows that the dereliction on the part of the North is the prime cause ot our present troubles. He advises the northern people to correct pub lic sentiments at home and to discharge their Con stitutional obligations. He also indicates, in this letter, a determination to defend the State, and stand as an armed mediator bet we ;n the Southern States and their assailants, come from what quarter they may. Tbe letter has created a profound sen sation here. The American Tract Society. We learn from the Norfolk agent of the American Tract Society, that there haa been a split in the Board who formerly presided over this institution, grow ing out of the desire of a portion of them to intro duce abolition sentiments into the books and pamphlets which they have been circulating throughout the South. The matter has been finally and permanently settled by the withdrawal of a portion of the Board who will continue the publication of such works only as are fit to put into the hands of our children and servants. To aid them in this move they ap peal to the citizens of Virginia and North Carolina to come forward and assist by donations. Virginia. There are at present, says the Richmond Kxaminer.commissionedin thia State 88 troops of Cavalry, 26 companies of Artillery, 109 companies of Infantry, and 110 companies of Rifle men. This is a pretty respectable force, as all must confess. The beauty ol the thing, so far as our Black Republican fes are concerned, is, that the patriotism of the Virginia people are constant ly adding to the list. Southern Emigration Westward. The Shelbyville (Tenn.) Expositor says : "Never at anytime in the memory of the oldest inhabitant has so great a fid of emigration been witnessed ns is rolling westward through this town They hail from Virginia, from North Carolina, from every where East, and are bound, some for Texas, some for Missouri, and some for the Lord knows where. Our own county and State have sent large delegations to the Great West. We noticed an unusual number of slaves in the trains of the movers." Tart. A large hardware house in this city received yesterday an invoice from a manufactur ing establishment at tho North, to which were ad ded tbe following words : "Abe Lincoln is our President. We hope he will please you as well as he does us." The invoice was returned with this reply : "Neither your President nor your goods please us. They will be reshipped on their arriv al." JV. O. Delta. Horse Thief Caught. A man who gave his name as Fry, from Randolph county, was appre hended a few miles west of . this place riding a horse which he had stolen in Daridkon county. Fry, on being brought before Otho Gilliespie, Esq., confessed the theft, and was sent tojaiL Stattsville Erprest. Illinois and Free Negroes. The State of Illinois, the home of the President elect, is so far from being friendly to free negroes that it has, by law, prohibited them from going into that State to live. This class of persons are treated with more respect and kindness here than in free 8tates. Colored persons, both slave and free, live here in plenty and comfort, whereas in tbe free 8tatea they live in poverty and misery. Power in a Woman's Ete. A lady when the conversation turned on dynamics, aaked the late Geo. Stephenson, the celebrated engineer, ' What do yon consider the most powerful force in na ture ?" " I will soon answer that' said he, it is tho eye of a woman who looks with affection on a man ; should he go to the uttermost ends of the earth, the recollection of that look will bring him back." There are three kinds of friends friends who lore yon, friends who do not trouble themselves bout yon, and friends who hate you.
