No; let us reach a higher mood, A nobler estimate of man; Be earnest in the search for good, And speak of all the best we can. Then speak no ill—but lenient be To other’s failings as your own; If you’re the 6rst a fault to see, Be not the first to make it known; For life is but a passing day— No lip niay tell how brief its span— Then, oh! the little time we stay.

Look Out !—We make an extract from a letter received a day or two since, from Hendersonville, N. C., to put our citizens on the look out for auspicious characters : “The emmissaries of the Bl&ck Republicans are among us. They set fire to Farmer’s Mil's on Tuesday night, and to the out houses attached to his hotel on Wednesday night. His loss is about 81,200. Be on the look out. During the public meeting here a fellow who was suspected of being concerned in cutting down the flag pole at Flat Rock, was treated to the ancient mode of loco motion, a ride on a rail, last night. The Vigilance Committee, known as the ‘‘Trotters,” arrested ore or two more men suspected of being birds of the same feather. What their fate was I have not learned.” Patriotic Se.ntiments.—The Governor of South Carolina, in a late Proclamation to the vol unteers of that State, u.ses the following patriotic latiguage : i “Soldiers of South Carolina ! Hold yourselves in readiness to march, at the word, to the tomb of Washington; and swear that no Northern Goths ; and Vandals shall ever desecrate its sacred pre- j cincts, and that you will make of it an American ; Mecca, to whicK the votaries of freedom and inde- ' pendence, from the South, shall make their pil- j grimage thrcagh all time to come.

Let them know that we will return that blood with full interest, and let them feel that they are now, as they were then, our brothers March to \ ir- ginia and lay your heads upon the bosom of this mother of Statos, and hear her great heart beat with new impulses for a renewed and glorious independence.

It is nut a war of punctilio between sovereigns; nor of conflicting interests between rival nations : admitting of ndjustmeut and com promise. It is a war of passions between bating aiid hated races. It is a war of fanaticism and subjugation on the part of the North; of scorn and cotiteinptuoiiai hatred on the part of the vSouth. These angry passions ar‘ uncontrollable, transport ing and irrepressible. 1 he South would sacrifice everything it holds dear before it would succumb to the authority of the despi.sed N«(rlh; and the i North will forget all schetn(;s of .gain, and throw its ledgers into the tire, to indulge its fanatical hatred of slavery, to “cru.sh out” the slave-holder.

PiHTCHARl>. Feb 2*;. It^Ol If that Bench, amno!? nil ifc mentber*. has no greater ornament thnn Judge Osborne. All the oualities of the Judge, the jurist, the scholar and the gen tlenisn keep constant revel in his open, manly face, while the devotion of the patriot and the hcrnigm of the soldier constitute the wreath which adorns bis brow. To see him is to respeet and honor him. To enioy tbe plea«nres of his private circle | and listen to the melliflnoris h*mionv of his colloquial and the just bnt mild severity of h’s argumentative stvle as he alternates between the grave and the gav. is to ^it at a hnnquet where the | Mnsec sfld the^ races preside. Hf* is destined, as he deserves, to take mnL' amnr^gst the best and most popular men in North Carolina for it is just snch men as he whom the people of North Carolina de- Hi’ht to honor. He is an honor to that old cradle of I.ilierty. the county of ^feeklenburg. and T hope the editors up there will help me do him honor. Styt.fs. SpKClT-.ATfNO IN Pravtsionp.—Nearly all articles of provisions have recently taken a sudden rise in price, owing, we presume, to the fact of a threatened, if not yet actual, blockade of our p^rts. The ri«=e in price is all wrong—and something should be done to put a stop to it. A similar attempt to raise the price of provisions was *nade in Baltimore Irist week The aufhorities notified the dealers that i* wryild not be allowed, and the merchants immediately agreel that provif^ions should be bought and sold at a fair price. There is no necessity for forxl to go np here—there is plentv in the connrrv and our opinion is. that they will eome down to a level little if at all ahove the usual rates. Everybody is entitled to a fair profit, but self-preservation refjuires that no undue ad- varta_-e shotild be nllowed to be tak»*n We rnnimrnd this matter to tbe consideration f the autburitic-ii. ADVICE TO VOLUNTEERS A writer who signs himself “An Old Soldier,” gives tbe tollowing advicc to young soldiers: 1. Remeinbor that in a catnpaiirn more men die from sickne.'s than iVoin the bullet. 2. liine yiHir blaiik(‘t with one thic'kiiess of brown drilling. 'I'his adds but four ounces in weight, and doubles tbe warinth. Buy a small India rubber blanket (only Sl,- 50) to lay on the ground or to throw over your shoulders when on guard duty during a rain storm. Most of the eastern troops are provided with these. Straw to lie on is not alway.s to be had. 4. The Viest military hat in use is the light colored soft felt hat, the erowm being sufficiently high to allow sp:»ee for air over the brain. You cat) fasten it up as a continental in fair weather, or turn it down whet) it is wet or v>ry sunny. 5. Let your beard grow so as to protect your throat and lungs. 0. Keej) your entire person clean, this prevents fevers and bowel complaitits in warm climatcs j Wash your body each day, if po.ssible. j Avoid strong eoflee and oily meat. Cen. Scott | said that the too free use of these f'together with j neglect in keeping the skin elcan^ cost many a I soldier his life in .^Iexico. ) 7. A sudden check of prespir.ition by chilly | or night air often causes fever and lcath. When ' thus exposed do not forget your blanket. ' H(I\V TtlK NoRTHF.RN AhMIIS .are tore r>E i fe.atkh.—The Biehmond Examiner thinks the j Northern troops will have enough to to fight the j Southern climate, to say nothing of men in arms, i It says: | If there were no men to fight sueh invaders, the ^ climate for tbe next seven months would put then) i to route. Think of what enemies thai vast family ' tf Southern fevers alone would be. if onee let loo.^e i among nn armv of onion-raiser.^, from Connecticut, haymakers from Verntont. ]iumpkin-growers from New Hampshire, and clam catcher.'? from Bhode Island. A lively sp».ctricle they would present if yellow jack, break fnme, intermittent, bilious, congestive, swamp, nnd a score of other fevers were to seize them. They would be smitten worse than the Assyrians ever were The fate of ' the Amalekites would be mil l cotnpared with that of an invading army of Yankees, if they were to venture Sotith in the Spring. Summer or Fall Imonths. Jeff I>avis’ amiv might staid still and let the Yankees and the fevers have u fair fight. Let anv man travel f»v land or water from New Orleans to N' tv York, a few davs after the family of Southern fevers have commenced their Spring. Summer, and Fall eampai^ns and watch the nii- gratory hen’s a’ld floek of unaeclim ttf'd Yankees who dash Northward pallid with terror, and sav that he is afraid of an invading army of Yankees. The cli mate of the Southern Couftfderacy pro tects it if there were not hundreds of thousands of brave men there, trained from boyhood to old age to wield with deadly riceuracy the rifle, the (’olt. the bowie knife, and the musket. The JMiibtdelphia Knquirer thinks that the people of the Sf utli are doomed to di.sappoinfment. It ‘^avs we all looked for bread riot.«. and lo ! we find them all united in one policy. The pc;ple of the South understand the matter quite well. They understand very well that war is a safe means of avoiding insurrection in any country. So long as the people of the North can sustain and feed an army which shall contain all their pauper population and men out of employment, they w’ill be safe from their nread riots. But let them look well to it, that they do not fail in this. Keep the money flving and you will keep the mob quiet. But who is to p«y for it all? That is the question. And how long enn tbe money last? In 1 >on(](.n there are no less than twenty thou- s^and pliy.siciati.sjand eighteen hundred uudcrtakers. : Some of the speakers went so far a.s to hint some j thing about our Southern wotuen, sentiments that j W(>uld tn.'ike the blo4>dofa Siuithern man boil over. Our gallant Southern soldiers will fight when j they nii'et tho.''C filthy wretches with a bravery ' before unknown. Will they not be fightittg for I heir wive.s, sisters, sweethearts, profMjrty, and everything else that it* dear to them ? Old Uennett, the editor of the Herald, says that Lincoln intends to send an invading army to ilieliinond and take it; aud then they intend to take Ball igh, North Carolina ; and then Columbia, South Carolina ; and last, Montgomery. Alabama, liy that time, ho says, the “ref>els” will be pretty well lick(‘d, and ready to beg their masters for peace and give up tlioir property. We can’t help laughing. What docs the fool think we will be doing nff that tiiiic ? Let them inarch. Why don’t thev start ? INTERVIEW WITH WINFIELD SCOTT. //if Vifirii ahont (he Ila/-. The Hichujond I'^iiquirer says: gentleman »hfisc character for intelJigej)ce and integrity is well known in the State, has just reached Rich- tnond from Washingt»n city, where he spent a d;iy. While there he had a cotiversatiou with (ieii Winfield Scott. 'L'hia individual spoke free ly of the condition of the country, whieh he pro- le.ssed to reun- t. He wiid, however, that “he had always recoirnized bis allegiance as due to the Uni ted States of .\ini'rica; that his cotirse was nearly ended, but that while he lived, he should always fight fur the ‘stars and stripes.’ He went on to speak of his having been “lately insulted by a Uich- mond friend, who begun to read some preposition to him, whi( Il he would not permit hi:n to finish.” 'i’his was understood to be a proposition to resign his coiitmission as Com:nander-in-Chief of the United States Army, and to accept the leadership of the \’ir;rinia forces, (ileneral Scott declared that while “he did not profess to speak the policy of the (lovernment, be believed that they would not mareh un army of invasion into any of the ae- eeb il States, but that they would take Forts Moultrie and Sumter and Harper’s Ferry at erery crist They would al.-o keep open the line of communication between the Ohio river and the Federal t’apital." Such in the substance and nearly the exact words used by fleneral Scott, on Tuesday last, to a citizer; of this State, whose assertions may be re lied on Marching an army of fifteen oi twenty thousand men into >’irginia to retake and occupy Harper's Ferry, ac'or«ling to tien. Srott, is not “invasion.” This may be done at “any Cf>'‘t,’'and it is fair'to prosuiHc it will be ionc very sojn. if it ran bt done LiKroi.N’s Patriotism.—The Albany “Argus” makes a point of the fact when ever a foreign enemy wagel wflr upon the country, the party of which Lincoln is now the representative has taken sides with the foe. The only war in which they have any heart is a war against their Southern brethren. 'I bat fearless and patriotie journal, the New York “I>ay Book,” in some severe comments upon the fact.'^ stated by the “Argus” calls attention particularly to the course cf Lincoln himself on the floor of the ’ongreif i of the Cnited States, on the i-ubject of tbe .Mexican war. Lincoln not only denounced bis country’s war with Mexico, but did all he could to ctJt off the supplies even while our bnive soldiers were in the midst of the enemy’s country, and then leave them to perish there or fight with ft want more terrible than the Mozican ho.st. Amkkic.ans the HE.\LTiHEirr People in the World.—De Bow's mortality statistics, compiled from (he last census, show that tlie people of the United States are the healthieit oq tbe globe. The deaths are yer year, one and a half per cent, of tbe population.—In England the ratio i.ii( nearly two j»er cent.—Virginia and N. Carolina are the hcaltbie.st of the States, and have (588 inhabitants over 1W years or age.
