THE CROWING BIKD.
Mb. Editor: as tntsu a pcnou noiemor
not be amiss to
this is a
..n.arkfth1o discoveries, it may
keep your readers posted up in regard to the wofa
ders of the age. There Las been a discovery late
ly roade of a bird that caps the climax, and throws
the uijsterioos eggs completely in the hade.
This bird was first discovered about the 21st of
March, on the premises of the writer; it is a spe-
cics of the mocking bird, and resembles the robin
verv: iauch, though smaller; it imitates the notes of
all ibe. various birds very correctly, but the great
cariosity about it is its crowing propensity, which
.it performs perfectly. It commences . its daily
avocation early in the morning, while the fowls
about, the yard are leaving the roosts, begin by
mocking the various birds, and winds up ty crow
ing several . time3 very distinctly th"i3 course it
it pursues during the morning, and occasionally
through the day; it renews its labors again late in
the evening, with the same rotine of the morning.
, It is a daily visitor, and its peculiar warblings are
very interesting to all who have heard it. The
above statement is no humbug, but it is really a
fact, that can be attested to by many who, though
incredulous before, have seen and heard this
stranjjo bird. As tha writer does not entertain
env sunerstitious notions about it, he docs not
; think it any omen of good or evil, but looks upon
cosmos SCHOOLS.
OFFICE OF THE' LITERARY BOARD, 1
- - - Raliigh, March 28, 1863. ' J
The following Resolutions were" adopted and order
ed by tka Board to be published with the tabular state
ment getting forth, the Spring distribution of the Lite
rary Fund: ', . .
Resolved, That this Board appreciating the condition
of the country and looking to the future history of this
commonwealth, do hereby urge upon all Board of Su
perintendents, School Committee, and our citizens
generally, the absolute importance of an energetic and
general effort to perpetuate and to increase in number
and efficiency the Common Schools ef the State, and
that they are called upon to give the General Superin
tendent their warmest co-operation. -
Resolved, That the funds of the Board under proper
management are ample, together with the School tax
from the people to furnish and perpetuate ?In every.
School district ia the Bute, an efficient School for a
good portion of the year.
Resolved, That it is the earnest desire of the Board
that the Boards of Superintendents and School com
mittees shall annually expend the entire amount of
School fund to the credit of each county, in keeping
up the Sctools and that they emply competent female
as well as male Teachers, and especially when it can
be done, wounded and disabled soldiers, at such prices
a3 will remunerate them for their services.
Resolved, That-the assessments made for Common
Schools in those counties .which are now or may be in
possession of the enemy, shall be placed to the credit
of said counties on the books of the Board, and shall
be disbursed to them as soon as they can be properly
used.
The President and Directors of the Literary Fund
following tabular statement be published showing the
Spring distribution. to eacn county. , .
The amount of said Spring distribution will be paid
to those entitled to the same on application to the
Treasury Department.
The counties of Clay, Mitchell and Transylvania will
receive their chares from the counties out of which
they were respectfully formed, there having been no
report from said counties under the law of the General
Assembly. Z. B. VANCE,

The writer not oeing versed tu the science of Or
nithology, a history of its species will not be at
tempted; and as its . language is a foreign one, it
cannot be ascertained from the stranger whence
he came or his destination. In this matter, we
are left to conjecture, and, in the absence of a
better one, the following will answer for the pre
sent: In noticing this bird, it has invariably been
the case that when the other birds come near its
, perch it skedaddles forthwith, Jience the conject
ure that it may be a native of Linoolndom. It is
well known that King Abram the let has some
time past deprived his subjects of the freedom of
speech and the press, and it was said of him that
he passed an edict that the fish should not go
South; be this true or not is left foi the people to
ascertain; with the same propriety the King might
have passed snoiftcr edict that the birds should
not Ring the songs of Dixie, and the bird in quea- j
tioii has made its exit South to enjoy its favorite j
pursuit. An the feathered tribe are not calculated
to do much harm, but arc often beneficial to the .
farmers in destrojing various insects that infest his j
crops, we will have no objection, to their migration
among us. especially songsters. The climate of
the South is favorable for them, and produce an
abundance for their subsistence, but in regard to
the biped race of Abram's dominions, the climate
of the South ia very dangerous, and has proved
fatal to thousands. The atmosphere being so
strongly impregnated with gun powder,-lead and
iron, the inhabitants of Linc;lridum cannot survive
its deadly effects; this malaria has been very fatal
in Virginia, Tennessee, Charleston, and . various
r.tber places of rcbeldom, and iU fatal effects aro
dnily increasing to an alarming extent Our ad
vice, therefore, to the inhabitants of the land of
King Abram is, of two evils choose the least; risk
the tyrunuy of the King in preference to the dead
ly miasma of Dixie land, as it will prove certajn
lientb. to you.

GL'N. PE GUAM'S FIGHT in KENTUCKY
The Ktoxvillc Register has an account of
Gen., pograni's fiht near Somerset, Ky., from
persons who participated in it. The first most
important collision bo had with the enemy was at
Ihmville. The enemy only made a show of fight,
and on a gallant charge being made upon then
by Col. Ash by 's regiment, they fled at a rapid
rate, and could not be overtaken. The Register
L:ays:
During the fight at Danville, or immediately
e forwards, Gen. Pegrara learned there was a force
of twelve kundrcd of the enemy at Lancaster,
who, expecting he would be defeated at Danville,
intended to cut off his retreat. On learning,
however, that their friends were defeated, they
retreated themselves, and went ao rapidly Gen.
Pegram could not overtake them. Gen. Pegram
then fell back with his whole command to within
a mile or two of Somerset, intending to rccross
the Cumberland ruer and make his headquarters
iu the neighborhood of .Monticello. On Sunday,
the COth ult., the advance of the enemy caught
up r, nh Ashby's regiment, and had some skirmish
ing. On Monday, the 31st, they came upon us i
: . I. l -i : mi . I
, wiui iu uvurwueiuiiog lorce. x ney were saia to
have had four regiments of cavalry, five of infantry,
and six pieces of artillery. We had four regi
ments, and two battalions of cavalry, and three
puces of artillery. The fight commenced about
twelve o'clock, and coutiuued until nearly dark.
Although we fought against greatly superior
numbers, it is believed the enemy's loss was much
greater than ours. It is believed we had about
forty killed, and the enemy eighty-three. Our
killed, wounded, and missing are less than two
hundred.
Jhi enemy were so badly worsted they did not
pursue our forces that evening, but came to the
river next morning, alter we had recrosscd. After
a short artillery duel they fell back, it was said,
i twenty-two milea. It was reported that Col.
j Clukc bad fullen upon their rear and destroyed
their wsgon train, and this caused them to fall
i back.
S The whole brigade recrossed the Cumberland
ilver, and arc now near Monticello. The com-

our long vacation is in the winter. .
Our building will accommodate about sixty boarding
pupils. The boarding department is under the imme
diate" charge of the Principal and his wife, who, with
most of the other teachers, habitually eat -at the same
table, and lodge under the same roof, with the girls.
The fact that we have semi-annual classes enables
us to enforce a higher standard of scholarship than is
usual in the best institutions conducted on the ordina
ry annual plan. Diplomas of Gradnation will be given
to those who complete our College Course.
Thankful for the liberal patronage given us while at
High Point, we appeal with confidence to the public
for a continuance of the same in our new and superior
location.
For additional information address the Principal.

THE SOUTHERN
This combination of medicines was first prepared by
the proprietor in 1825, when he was pronounced by
three eminent physicians in a Southern city as in an
advanced stage of Consumption. These pills cured
him. He u now over seventy years of age and in dis
charge of active professional duties. Their good ef
fects upon others created such a demand for them that
be was compelled to desist from supplying them gratuitously.
They are not recommended by the proprietor as
good for all diseases, but only such as arises from
DISORDERS OF THE LIVER. Many persons have
testified to their good effects in Chills and Fevers, Bil
ious Fever, Yellow Fever, Pneumonia, Dyspepsia, &c.,
&c. They are an excellent FAMILY MEDICINE.
Read the following :
S. D. Wallace, Esq., Treasurer of the Wilmington
and Weldon Rail Road, (Aug. 30, 1862,) says :" "It has
been said that "Dyspepsia" is our national disease.
However this may be, it cansed me long and severe
suffering. Providentially a friend furnished me with a
few boxes of the "Hepatic Pills," and the use .of them
has perfected a cure. In my family they - have been
used frequently with eminent success. Among my.ac
quaiptances, many 'cases originating from diseased
liver, have been relieved and cured by them. I regard
them as an invaluable medicine, and take pleasure in
forwarding this voluntary tribute."
Col. John Wright, of Goldsboro', N. C, (AHg. 14,
1862,) says: "I have used the 'Southern Hepatic Pills'
in my family here and altio on my plantation in Ala
bama, and always with success. I have a valuable
servant girl who had been a long time under treatment
for consumption, without receiving any benefit. Al
most in her extremity I was indnced to try the 'Hepatic
Pills.' They were given according to directions, and
she is now well, entirely restored by them. A similar
case occurred among niy t servants in Alabama. For
liver and lung diseases-1 have perfect confidence in
them."
Full directions and other certificates will be found
on the wrapper of each box.
The great rise in the price of medicines, compels the
proprietor to put these pills at 50 cents a box.' As it
may soon not be possible to procure all the ingredi
ents, it would be well for the afflicted to order them at
once. . . -.
From the price above stated, a liberal discount will
be made to dealers as long as the pills can be furnished.
