Some who have h id occasion to examine at tentively the statistics of the Eitihlh Census, have doubtless been more or less m>np!used at the deficiency of .5.704 square miles, which ap pears in the report of the area of North Carolina, as compared with the report of the same as given ill the Seventh Census. The total area of the State, nccording to the Census of 1850, and also according to other official reports of prerious date, was 50,704 square miles; bat, according to the Census of 18(jO. the area of fiur Common wealth was reckoned at only 45.000 square miles. Uncertain as to which of these two governmental reports was correct, and, at the same time, fail- *g to perceivc any good reason why North Caro lina should not be credited with all the territory that really belongs to her, I wrote for informa tion to the Hon. Secretary of the Interior, whose reply, in connection with the joint reply of the Commissioner of (he General Land Office, settles the matter definitely, and leaves us. as citizens of the Old North State, in quiet and undisputed possession of our very ample domain of 50.704 square niiles. The 'corrertion of this error re stores North Carolina to tlie position of prece dence which, in extent of territory, she formerly enjoyed, respectively, over the five large States of New York, Pennsylvania, TenncBsee, Missis sippi and I.onisiana. Asheville, N. C. II. R. IlELrER. To-day and ' To-morrow To-day we gather bright and beautiful flowers —to-morrow they are faded and dead. To-day a wealth of leaves shades ’us—to-mor- row, sere aud fallen, they crumble beneath our tread. To-day the earth is covered with .a carpet of green — tu-morrow it i.i brown with the withered grass. To day the vigorous stalk only beud.s before the gale—to-uiocrow, leafless and sapless, a child may break the brittle stone. To-day the ripening IVuit and waving grain —to-morrow ' the laud is taking its rest after the toil.” To-day we hoar swe^t songsters of meadows and i'orosts, the buzz and hum of myriad insects —to-morroiv. breathe sjftly. all nature is hushed and silent. To-day a stately edifice, complete iu finish aud surrounding, attracts tiie passer by—to-morrow a heap of ruins mark the site. To-day there are cattle upon a thousand hilk —to-morrow they fall in slaughter. The fashion of the world ptisseth away.

Nov. 0, 1S>S Swpd A HulMiid Retttms alter 86 Tetn Unnee Thursday morniDg the subjects of this skctch passed through this city on their way from Put nam county, Indiana, to their houie in Lincoln couuty, Kentucky, and flruni a gentleman who talked with them we have ob%MMed the follow ing roumntic story: In 1842 John Elliot left hia home nnd his wife, who had borne him eleven children, in Putnam county, this State, suddenly and in pas sion at some slight misanders^ding that had ocTOrred between them. He gave his family no intimation of his departure previous to leaving, and they never heai^ of him again nntil after t he lapse jrf twentjr-six yeart. The elfcWieired hin* hnsband w»a dead, ««4 after two years waiting she gave him up as l(«t to her forever, and murried a respectable citizen of the country, named Ballou, and has resided happily enough with him, near Cloverdale. ever sinco, until last week. It was then that the first tidings of her supposed deceased husband were received by her. It was iu this wise that these tidin«is reached her. A letter came to her through the hand of a person who was a stranger. This letter sot forth that if she would visit a little town several miles distant from Cloverdale she would meet an old and verj- dear friend, and urged her uot to omit making the visit at a certain time. The letter impressed her strangely, and she concluded to visit the town named, at the designated time, and did so. Whiit was hy surprise on entering th^ house where the meeting was apiMiotcd, to meet her first husband. Twenty-six years had pass.d, and time had left its impress upon the man, yet she recognized him at once, and threw herselt into his arms; for notwithstanding she is now sixty-eight years of age the sight of her first choice warmed the loving pulses of her heart, and broke open (ho fountain of her affections that had be.;n so long sealed up. She threw her arms about his neck, kissed his wrinkled cheek, and wept like a girl the te.irs of joy. The hn.sbaiid’s heart was also melted into tcn- dernefis. and lie embn cod bis aged but long- deserted wife, with all the fervor of a young and ardent lover The past was talked over, the sudden disappearance, the long ab.sence, and con* tinued silence of the husband explained, and then and there it was agreed that they would 8i>end the remnant of their lives together. The woman returned to her home in Clovcr- dale. She explained to her second husband all that happeucd, and told him that she felt it her duty to go with the first husband from whom she had so long been sepirated. The second hus band, Ballou, was loth to consent, but the wo man was unchange.ible in her determination, and he was compelled to acquiesce. Their wo.ldiy cfiet-ta were divided, and on .Monday last the'dd lady left Cioverdaie to rej oin her hu»>bmil i;i the little village where the meeting took place, and Thursday they passed through the city on their way to Kentucky. When the husband left home he wandered off to Kentucky, whqre .remained until the (’ali- fornia gold discoveries created such an c.xeite- ment in 1841). He was seized with the gold fever, and left for the rich places on the Pacific coast There he worked and saved his earnings nntil he accumulated some forty thousand dollar?. With this he returned to Kentucky, purchased and sticked a farm in Lincoln coutity. aud has been living upon it ever since 18.59. Having accumulated considerable wealth, he is now pre- ptin «l to comfortably care for her whom he so cruelly deserted twenty-six years ago. and to give •a good start in the world” to the children she br re him. four of wlioin arc y«t living, and have iamilies. — .Vrw AUmn^ Cummerciul.

Tell uie the rea.«»»)ii. ' The boys all stiwid still while Edward sjid, “1 will uot do a wicked thing, sir, if they do call me a coward.” • That's right, my nuLle boy,” said the gentle man. ‘-If you fight with that boy you will really disgrace yourself, and will show that you arc iiK/ic afraid of the lau;.:!i and ridicule of yoiir friends thau of breaking the cumuiaudments ol your Maker. It is more honorable to bear an iusult with meekness than to fight about it. Bcustsand brutes which have no reas!>n.know of no other way to avenge themselves ; though it be hard to be called a coward, and to submit to the indignity aud insult, yet remember the words of the wise man—• lie th it ruleth his spirit is greater thau he th:a taketh a city.” Many a p^Mir. deluded man has been drawn in to accept a challenge and fight a duel to exhibit his bravery, aud thus di«^lay to all that he waa a miseruble coward, who was afrnid of the sneer :ind laugh of his comp:inions.

Auimal Maourea arc the uiain-»tay offfQgiti* live Agriculture: By far too little attcatioa ia paid to their jtroductiuu and use. Although th« term aninvU wtiHMix, strivtly speaking, it OoIt such as is formed by the cxcreueBta of and the decoinpoiitiun of their bodica by dilerenl uictbods, it is generally applied to laauurea pit^ duced by the escrcments ^ auiuiala, and th« ad« mixture uf atraw, leaves or any other vegataU* matter, used as litter, aud it haa recaived th* uaaua ^ stable or jprd manure. The q«alitj depends jMUch upo».|he food nven to th« catttlt and upon the Titter tiaed. Tk« richer the food, the "richer will be the awBura produced. The great fault with niQe4entha of the farmers, ia to under-value stable manure, aod to waste it by allowing it to remain exposed, ia small dispersed quantities, to the action of the suu aud rain, thereby allowing hs fertilizing properties to evaporate. Cattle should be stabled or peuued iu smaller places than is generaUj dune. Wheat aud oat straw, oak leaves, har, grass or other vegetable matter, should be free^ used for litter. Avoid pine straw or pine saw* dust or pme shavings, alt being injurious to aoj laud, by the resinous principles they contain. Better burn them aud apply their ashes upon the land. Corn, instead of being harves* ted in the mauuer generally practiced by pulUsK of the leaves should be cut olf near the gronnd, aud the stalks used iu uiakiug manure, ^peat* ed experiments have shown conclusively that there is less loss by shrinkage in the grain, by being harvested in the latter mode thau by pull* ing the fodder. W e have in the comstalks one of the best and most abundant of raw materiah to operate with. Manure should be collected every day or two in as large heaps as possible— the surface made smtjoth, so as to give as little chance lor evaporation as posisible—the ootaide covered with earth, or put uuder cover. The best method is, to have large quantities of muck or loaf mould, or good rich earth brought in the yard, aud the manure daily mixed with a portion of it. Every load of fresh manure, mix^ with three or four loads uf muck under cover, will cause each load of (he mass to become equal to its bulk of clear manure, for purposes of t'crtili* zation. 'Ihis arises from the escaping gaaes given off from tiic manure during fermentation, being absorbed by the divisor. Abeing produced from the richest food, contains the lar* ge.«t quantity of fertilizing priuciples. It can be used with the best results upon all crops.

At 8 i o'elock. when the store was opened, there were not leskthan 5U0 meu gathered about the door, and six policemen, club in hand, were wholly unequal to tbe task of keeping back the crowd, which increased every moment until 9 o’cl>M:k, when the advertiser announced that the qu>jta was mied.

It is equal to hall its quantity of guano, if kept under ciiver. 'Ihe latter being an animal nature, and when pure, of a highly concentrated nature may be Used to advantage ou any land; but if im* jiroperly ajiplied, it either destroys the crop or loses its fertilizing prop,^rties. *U'hc purely vegetable manures consist of vege* tables ploughed under, iu a green stato. Cow* jicas arc one of the best plants at our command. Cabbages sown very thickly comes next, but t;loveror Luccrn are superior to either. If Limeis ctiuveuient, it is advisable t« spread from thirty to jfifty bushels of slaked compust lime to the acrc, beiore ploughing the crop ia. This method, where other manur«'s arc not obtainable, will be found an easy and certain one to ame* liorate our lauds, cspcciully such soils as aro do- Hcient iu vegwtablo iibrc. One maxim should govern the progress of the Agriculturi.st, and that ie, that in order to keep his laud in a constant state of fertility, he most re place in feitilizing parts every year aa much as he rcmove.s from it in the form of produce; but ail iucrease of fertility eau only bo gsined when more is added than is taken away. The great fault with our plautcrs, is to use manure, when used, upon land not prepared in a form to receive i^ i>ecp ploughing is essential. In general, all ntauures contaiuing ammonia should be plouglied ip—\he others, containing salts, should be used as .a top-dressing. Tlie former escapes—tte latter penetrates.
