Y DEATH OF MR CALHOUN. Mr Cilhoun, although younger than Mr Clay by 3 or 6 years, l,a preceded him to the final end. Mr Calhoun was S years and 13 dnys old He was born in South Carolina, Abbcvil e Dis trict. His fither was an Irishman, who early emigrated to this country, and fonglit'in some of the battles of tlie Revolution. His mother was a Virginia woman, Miss Caldwell. He has'bt-eu in the public service for 10 je.irs or more, w ith some intermission.'. First in the Legislature of South Carolina, then in Congress, and Secretary of War. and of State. Vice Presi dent of the United St .tes, under John Quincy Adirns, &-. Mr Venahlr, of North Carolina, was devoted in his attentions to Mr Calhoun during hi ill ness : life. 'w at his side at the close of his eventful The South Carolina p;iners evnress their i i ...... : feeling of gratitude to Mr V. for hi- attachment. Dr. Calhoun, the son, was, we believe, the on ly member of the f-inily present ;t his dejth. - Some inquiry is m:le as to wh.it effect his death will have upon the important question of State rights now eiiIin in Congress. We think it will have but little herin one way or the other. Notwithstanding we never fully approved Mr Cs political course nor h;id fuli confidence in his political opinions, yet his administration of the war office, and indeed the strict fidelity with which he performed the duties of all his public stations, combined with his devotion to economi cal expenditures of government, in ide it desir able to have such a man iu the Presidential chair. It was and is, however, a prevailing opinion that he never could have been elected to that impor tant post. Mr Butler, his colleague, spoke his eulogy in . the Senate, and Messrs Clay, Webster, Rusk, and Clemens, paid their tributes of eloquence and feeling to his memory. : fJCJ- Numerous meetings of the people, in South Carolina and other St.itrs, have been held, to .tpress the public feeling in regard to the death ol Mr Calhoun. amounting in our currency to $48,000. i by their friends. j ne urea King out oi the revolution prevent- ; tion ot the writer to speak in disparage ed him from recovering the money.

Mr Crawford's part of the proceeds is supposed to range somewhere between fifty antl one hundred thousand after pocketing which, he can a fiord to give up the salary of the Secretary of War, .for the balance of Gen Taylor's term. The elec tion of General Taylor was indeed a for tunate circumstance for Mr George W. Craw ford. Oc?" Several democrats have remarked to us that Mr Badger's speech was much sounder, and more southern, than was expected, on the south ern question. Such is our own opinion, and we are glad it is so. 03 The editor f the Carolinivn expects to be ..at. Car! h ;ye at the approach ing term ofC-ountv Court.

There are still a good many of the counties which have not appointed delegates to the State - Convention, which is to be held in Raleigh on the l-"ith of M.y. We hope the people in those coun ties are not indifferent to the subject. There is ' ample time vet. but it is the time lor action. tW Another snow in this section on Suridiv morning list. This is whit the poets call "win ter lingering in the lp of spring." We do not admire the poetry of the operation. .The Cheraw Gazette truly remarks tliat the reason has been unprecedentedly a wet one," which added to the cold and hickward spring, makes it a gloomy prospect for the planter. THE DEMOCRATS of Robeson county are re quested to meet at the Court lfous" in Lumber ton, mi Saturday the "J7th inst., to appoint dele gates to the State Democratic Convention, to be held at the city of Raleigh some time in May, fr the purpose of nominating a democratic can didate for the office of Governor of N. Carolina RIP VAN WINKLE Phis capital story will be found in the Carolinian to-day. We believe it has never been published in this paper befoie. Aii it is fashionable with the wags of her sister States to joke Old North Carolina in their pleas antry, by calling her the Rip Van Winkle of the States, because her people are proverbial for good honest intentions extreme caution, amounting til mo. t to listlessness. in movements to rvh'ch ! other St;.tcs rush sometimes heedlessly, the reader will perceive the point of the jest. Perhaps the remark was never applied to the State with more truth than in regard to her course on Internal Improvements. After a more than twenty years nap, she has waked up to the -subject. Mr Irving says this story was suggested by a little German superstition about the Emper De Rothbart and the Kypphauser mountain. He "wrote it under the assumed name of" Diederich "Knickerbocker." The Reading (England) Mercury says that one of the keepers detected a man po.rching in the Royal grounds, Windsor Park; and on examining his game bag found several rabbits in a state of stupefaction, which he had taken by means of chloroform, administered by saturated pieces of paper fastened to a stick ! jC?-Mr Hunter, of Va.. in a speech in the U. S. Set.nte, said : k Negro slavery was not the only invol untary servitude known to society. Wher ever there was wanes for labor, there was involuntary servitude. The Socialist was he only Abolitionist who understood his mission. The Socialist went fwr perfect equality; he was for breaking down the institution of hard labor. Labor for wages was involuntary servitude, and wherever wages was paid for it, that wages was the price of involuntary servitude.'' NORTH CAROLINA RAILROAD. By a slip from the Greensboro Patriot, dated 1st inst , we learn that the Commissioners named in the charter of the North Carolina Railroad, or Central Railroad, met at Greensboro on the 30th ult. . Ex-Governor Morehead was called to the chair, and Mr John B. Lord appointed Secretary. Thus organized, the Commissioners appointed Mr George W. Mordecai, Treasurer of the Com pany, he having been acting in that capacity. The Treasurer then made his report, from which it appeared that the following subscrip tions had been made positive, and the 5 per cent thereon paid, according to the terms of the charter : $56,000 Which, in the opinion of the Treasurer, has not been reported from accidental cau ses merely, and may be relied upon as positive suoscriptions. That at the Hillsboro Convention there was also a subscription made of 400 shares in the name ot II. D. Jiird, but which was intended for the Petersburg Railroad Com pany, and the Treasurer has been inform ed by a letter from Mr Bird that their au thority to subscribe to the stock of this Company has been questioned at a meet ing of their stockholders, and that such subscription cannot therefore be made. That there was also reported at the Hillsboro Convention a subscription in the counties of Johnston, Guilford, and David son, of $47000 more than the amount upon w hich g5 per share had been paid in to the Treasurer from these counties. Owing to the failures last above slated, there remains to be raised the sum of grc.ooo. Which report was unanimously adopted. A resolution was then adopted, ordering the J books to be again opened, and t remain open Wc are not to be understood as countenancing i until the 1st of May, and that the Commission the idea that fuck has anything to do with this : ers and all friends of the work be requested to matter. Success in business is the result of a j exert themselves to have the remaining $70,000 judicious selection as to the kind of business to : subscribed. be pursued, and the combination of energy, per severance, and shrewdness in the pursuit of it. Reverses in business are the effects, most general ly, of causes exactly the reverse of those named. A waggish spendthrift said: uFive years ago 1 was not worth a cent in the world now sec where I am through my exer tions!" Well, where are you r" 'Why I owe more than 3,000!" There is a moral in the above piece of wit : It shows that it is much better for some men to do nothing (that is in the way of trade and specu lation) than to attempt what they can never ac complish. There are two sets of persons, rated in this connection, as ' lucky" and " unlucky." The "lucky" man will make money at every thing he undertakes. He appears to have the gift of Midas, the heathen god, who it is said could turn any thing to gold by touching it. The " unlucky" is directly the reverse : he is sure sure to lose by every thing he attempts; and therefore he shwtild never attempt to get his liv ing in any other way than by hard labor; for in that there will be fewer chances for him to lose. So true is this, that we have seen your " un lucky " wight buy out a man who was making money by some well-planned scheme, with the vain hope that he also could make money. But the illusion would soon vanish !

That as was reported at the Hillsboro' Convention, there had been subscribed, viz : In Forsyth county, $32,000 Iredell, " 8,000 Hurke and McDowell, 8,000 Buncombe, 8,000 ' 0O The Raleigh Register announces that the Whig State Convention will be held on the 10th of June. "A MISREPRESENTATION." The whig papers are quoting and circulating an extract from the speech of Hon. Truman Smith, in the JJ. S. Senate, which states that there were 320 more democrats than whig in office when Gen. Taylor was inaugurated, and that there are yet 5d more democrats than whigs in office. We hare no doubt at all that this is a barefaced mis representation. We have not the data upon which to prove it, but Mr Smith's speech will be replied to, and we doubt not the proof will then be forthcoming. The steamer If. S. Smith was burned on her way to Apalachicola, and 1000 bales Cotton de iroy&J; says the Charleston Courier. fjtj- We noticed, last week, that suit had been brought by Wm. Idler against Messrs Win. F. Small and Reuben Hanse, of Philadelphia, who purchased the Rutherfordton gold mines of said Wm. Idler. Since then, we have seen the ad vertisement of Messrs Small & Hanse, who warn the public against trading for their notes given for said mines, as it is not their intention to pay them, in consequence of the character, condi tion, and value of the mines having been fraudu lently misrepresented to them. Jacob Idler of Philadelphia, brother and attorney of Wm. Idler, negotiated the transaction. fJCy- The National Intelligencer denies, by au thority, the rumor that was started, to the effect that President Taylor intends issuing a proclama tion in regard to the Nashville Convention, and ordering troops to that vicinity. OHIO. The bill before the Ohio Legislature, prohibiting the officers of that State assisting in the recapture of fugitive slaves, was not passed into a law. Defeated in the lower house. - We are glad of it. THE INVASION OF CUBA is a subject still agitated by the newspapers. It is said that the leaders of the enterprise are collecting forces ot the Isthmus at Chagres, and are nearly ready for their descent upon the Island. A lack of money, it is said, retards their movements. It has retarded many a movement before, and even defeated it. A singular death occurred in Richmond, Va., on the 24th ult. Mr Charles L. Price returned home early on Sunday, morning w ith a severe cut on his head, which he said was produced by a fall. He died on Tuesday following, without saying how he got the blow, although it was evi dent he had been struck with a bludgeon ! neck until he was dead. The time will be ap pointed by the Governor. The judge said he had never before experienced the peculiarly painful duty of sentencing to death one whose associa tions, talents, education, hopes and expecta tions, all were of a character so directly opposite the supposition of his committing a crime so hor rid as the one he stood convicted of committing. The news of his conviction was not communi cated to his wife and daughters immediately, but when it was, their shrieks and lamentations re sounded in the streets ! How great the fall i and how melancholy its consequences LOVE AND PHILOSOPHY. BY ALFRED EVELYN. You sec that lady sitting there? Ten years ago I thought her fair, And raved and rhymed about her hair. I carved her name on every tree, And such was my absurdity Thought 1 shwuld die without her. I thought no eyes could be so bright, I thought no teeth could be so white No angel could surpass her So sweet was each melodious tone, Her shape so perfect, and so shone, Her ringlets, with Macassar. My heart and soul were in ablaze, 1 taxed my brains to sing her praise, In scores of plaintive couplets, And taxed a pocket scarce of cash, -Befwre her door to cut a dash. In ruffled shirts and doublets. The withered flowers she cast aside, The strings with which her shoes she tied. With tender care I hoarded And thought that I was well repaid, r or many a cold night s serenade, If she a smile accorded. How wretched did I feel at last, When, like a worn-out glove, she cast Me and my hopes aside ; Three weeks from that she changed her name. And oh! the misery became Old Brown, the Grocer's bride. A man of twice her age and mine, At whose expence our wit would shine For oft we quizzed the spoony; I had my labor lor my pains, Wealth was an overmatch tor brains, Old Brown had lands and money. " I marvel at my sadness now ! Time has been busy with his plough. Behold that cheek how wrinkled ! Her eyes are stony as a flint Her step has little music in't, Her hair with gray is sprinkled. I think she must weigh twenty stone. Her sylph-like airiness is gone, And like a duckshe waddles: I laugh to think upon the past, Yet Love such spell has ever cast, On human hearts and noddles. A word to those who lose a prize And mourn the loss just turn your eyes Upon the Lady's mother ; The object of your hopes and fears. Will be in less than twenty years, Exactly, such another. Philosohy has no such cure, The sight will teach you to endure And like a pail of water, 'Twill cool your fiery passion down : Discarded, you will smile, not frown. Nor die to lose the daughter. - s...b -f .... . i ; nan urcn iiavt-ii uuve u v mutatis. n ac I quaintance of the young man writes to the i Chicago Democrat in contradiction of the j story, antl states that Wasson is now digg- ing gold in hi Dorado.

We sincerely sympathize with his family and relatives in thi's afflict ion. We have known Mr Bell intimately for nearlv ten years; and although like other men, he was'not w ithout his faults, yet thwse traits of character w hich ennoble mankind, were predominant in his com position. His affectionate kindness s a hus band and father : his eenerous nature ffortmlv j he was generous to a fault); his steadfastness iii k ; -:,. .i .1. : . t . . . -. ... .iiiiiu.iiiics , iiis perseverance under dinicul ties; and his fortitude in adversitv, gained him the love of his relatives the esteem of his friends and the sympathy of all. Mr Bell was a native of Scotland, but came to this country early with his father. He had tal ents, and a laudable ambition to cultivate the literarj cast of his mind. At the time of his death, he held the office of draughtsman in one of the military bureaus at Washington, which he had held but a short time.
