I ) - f ' fME NOJRTM (DAJROILiIINIAN MYSTERIOUS OCCURRENCE. Probable Mail Robbery. ' , On the afternoon of Monday, the 17th inst., a bag containing letters was picked up bj the Steamer Rowan in the Cape Fear River, opposite town. The bag and letters, when found, were open. Some of the letters contained checks, and one appears to have been rifled ' of some eighty dollars in cash." It proved, upon examination, (o be the letter bag made up at Savannah on the 12th instant, for Baltimore, which arrived here on the boat of the 14th. On that day the Steamer Gladiator, which brought the mail, got aground at Smithville, and the mail was sent up to town in one of the small boats of the Steamer, in charge of the second mate, but failed to arrive in limp to connect with the cars, which waited until two o'clock for that purpose. We suppose an investigation will be had, but so far nothing has transpired calculated to throw any light upon the occurrence. This goes to demonstrate the necessity of continuing the mail in charge of a sworn agent of the Department to and from Char leston. Four suspicious looking persons have, within the last few days, been taken up by the town authorities, under the Vagrant Act, and committed to prison, it is sup posed that these persons may possibly have had some connection with the recent mail robbery. Wilmington Journal. THE COTTON CROP LOW PRICES. The decline in cotton which took place in Liiyernool some weeks since, astonished every person ; lor to all outward appear ance there was no sufficient grounds to justify such a declension in prices. I he stocks in Liverpool, the rate of consump tion, and the estimates of the incoming crop, verging to reality, all ave assurance that the staple would at least maintain its price. The opinion is gaining ground that the capacity of the coti on-growing States is now fully tested, and that they will not be able to increase the production of this staple to any great extent, arid it behooves the planters to consider the suggestions made below, which we extract from an address delivered before one of the Geor gia Agricultural Societies. The great object for them to attain is to get some control over the price of their products : On the American continent, compara tively a small region can ever successfully and lucratively produce the cotton plant. Within the last ten years the increase in the United States has been so immaterial as to induce the belief that the maximum capacity of production ha3 been nearly reached. The increased culture of sugar, upon soils that would, perhaps, have been confined to cotton, had the price been more remunerating, and the rapid deterioration of the soil, successively tilled, in its pro duction, in the older States, have eflec tually prevented that over-production which, at one time it was apprehended would over-stock, the markets of the world, and drive the planter to some other pur suit. Instead, however, of our cotton bales accumulating in such numbers as to lessen the value of the staple beneath the cost of production, the limited supply on hand, and the doubtful prospect of the future, clothe the fact with more than or dinary concern to the foreign manu facturer. Why, then, have the cotton, planters been coerced to submit to rices below remuneration ? Without attempting to assign all the causes supposed to be instru mental in producing the anomalous state of things, (for the task would be tedious and irksome to you and the time I have allowed would not permit) two prominent . reasons need only be noticed. The ap parent want of harmonious counsel and action among the planters themselves, in the sale of their cotton, and the entire control which the Liverpool merchants have exercised over American cotton. Unity of action has long been a desideratum among the cotton planters in the disposal of their cotton crop?. At least five out of the last ten have passed from the hands of the producer at prices poorly remunerative for the labor and expense incurred in the production. If a material portion of the supply of cotton necessary to meet the annual demand was retained by the pro ducers, whenever the price ruled below the standard of remuneration, it is not doubt ed it would have a most salutary influence in imparting stability and confidence to the markets, followed by enhancement of prices. The price of the great staple of the South, can and should be, to a just extent, controlled by its producers.' THE MOST SOCIABLE OF FISH. .... Every voyager who has looked over the sides of a vessel at sea, will recognize the truth of the following character of that celebrated fish, the porpoise : The porpoise is a fish to whom every voyager must be grateful. Not only does he" agreeably stir up the "level brine," but he gives us something to think of an object iu the dreary solitude, and the hope of a breeze. And yet never were the personal qualities of any individual more misrepresented. He is held up to ridicu lous obloquy in a sarcastic proverb. 'As fat as a porpoise, leads to an idea of an obese monster sluggish, insert, a marine Lambert., No one who writes about the sea but has a fling at"him: "The por- It! a . . s mm poise rolled, ' ana the wallowing por poise," are familiar as household words. His very name (porco peace, pig-fish,) is a slander. He is the fastest and mst so ciable of fish, and never meets you without escorting you part of the way. He is not one of your cold-blooded animals, but wears his coat of fat as a paletet or acquas cutum, to keep him comfortable. To see a shoal of them bearingdown upon the ship from a distance, and taking the rough water flying, is sure to draw a hearty "Holla" from an old sportsman. There is an infectious jolity about them, as if they were out on a lark, and bent upon pressing you good-humoredly into the adventure. No other introduces himself to man's notice, or courts his companionship ; no other fish will turn back and walk with youj as it were, arm in arm. There is a reserve about all others of the order which defies intimacy : who ever scraped an acquaint ance with a salmon or a pike, or tickled a trout, but with the hellish anticipation of frying him! He is, besides, our nearest relation, the monkey excepted ; having, next to that creature, the largest brain Monkeys being our brothers, porpoises must certainly be our first-cousins. But still you feel humbled in his company; you have no chance in the race, for he overcomes your boasted nine knots with an easy flap of his tail. In spite of all your topsails and courses, your top-gallant sails, rovals, studding-sails carry on till every mast and yard is groaning with swag of your bellying canvass, you teel that you are pooh-poohed by a fat fish, and that all your art, contrivance, labor and fore thought, built upon every past experience from Noah to Symonds, does not enable you to keep pace with a monster whose every movement goes to hx.upou you the taunt of a slow coach. How he goes round you under your keel and plays in the very foam of your bows, daringyouto come j on ; He even lifts his nose above the water, to give you a short of defiance. But it is at night, when the sea is lumin ous, and every movement of the water brings out a Hash of fire, that the gambols of a shoal of porpoises should be seen ; they are then demons rushing through a fiery lake. A Transport "Voyage to Mauritius. of Distuessing Occurrence. We learn that on Tuesday evening last, Mr John A. Biakeney of this District, met with an accident which resulted in his death instantly. The particulars so far as we have been able to gather them, are these. On the evening mentioned he took his double-barrel gun, and walked out to where his hands were at work in his field, and after giving some directions, walked to a small distance from them, when the report of his gun attracted their attention: on looking round he was seen to fall in one direction, and his gun in another. Upon examination, it was founcC that both barrels of his gun had been discharged, both loads taking effect, one in his mouth and the other nearly passing directly through and tearing off the back of his head. Between him and his gun lay a lo, and from the marks of both hammers on the off side, it is supposed that he either set the butt of the gun upon the log, from which it slipped, or that he attempted to set it against the log and struck the hammers, which discharged both barrels. Mr Biake ney was a highly respectable citizen had been married about two years, and leaves a wire and child and a larse circle of relations and friends to mourn his untimely and sad fate. C htraw Gazette. GEMS OF THOUGHT. Kindness, like the ire n tie breath spring, melts the icy heart. To Adam, Paradise was home; to the good among his descendants, home is Paradise. Better by far not start an object, if its pursuit is to be abandoned at the first diffi culty. To think is the proper use of mind, and it is astonishing to find how little this trite truth is recognized. If we are not content with such things as we have, we shall never be satisfied with such things as we desire. A kind word will often tell more than the severest reproof, and a sigh of sorrow makes a far deeper impression than an open censure. Open your heart to sympathy, but close it to despondency. The flower which opens to receive the dew, shuts against rain. Enjoyment is more durable than pain. The one is the immortal firmament, the other the transient clouds which darken it for a time. Sir W. Temple says, that the first ingredient in conversation is truth; the next good sense; the third good humor; ami the fourth wit. In Europe, people takeoff their hats to great men; in America, great men take off their hats to the people. How much more might people accom plish, if they would but make it a. point to carry out whatever they undertake. Tfw (t 1 1 ine inuuence which woman exerts is silent and still, felt rather than seen, not chaining the hands but restraining our actions by gliding into the heart. Winter which strips the leaves from around us, make us see the distant regions they formerly concealed; so does old age rob us of our enjoyments, only to enlarge the prospect of the eternity before us. Young children often do wrong merely from immaturity of their reason, or from a mistaken principle; and when this is the case, they should be tenderly reproved and patiently shown their error. Dreadful Tragedy. The Pittsburg Post states that a lady, wife of one of the most respectable inhabitants of Allegany county, was killed by her own daughter on Monday week. The latter is about 18 years of age, and was chastising one of her little brothers when the mother interfered for his protection, upon which the daugh ter stabbed her with a poker, penetrating her abdomen, and causing almost instan taneous death. The parties live within a few miles of Pittsburg, but the names are suppressed until the judicial examination takes place. IFilmington Commercial. An Electric Brush, said to possess som niferous, and ba'ck and-knee strengthening qualities, is to-be exhibited at thelvorld'a Fair. A Tough Story. It is stated that M. Chauncey Jerome,, of New Haven, Conn., has actually made a time-piece, which he will warrant to keep good reckoning, and which he sels for sixty cents at wholesale, and one dollar at .retail. The works are all made of brass. He makes upwards of eight hundred a day of these articles. Wil mington Commercial- OHIO. The New Constitution.

Texas It is said that the emigrants from the Western and Southern States are pouring into Texas in large numbers. many of whom are wealthy planters, far mers and stock raisers. It is estimated that within the past sis months some eighty thousand persons have entered the State oy way ot ijalvestun and the Ked. River. A New Orleans letter says : Good sugar lands, well located and per fect titles, are rating from 85 to S10, and cotton lands t rom 5t2 00 to S5 00 per acre The rapidly augmenting value of these lands recently, as was generallyantici- pated, has caused them to become a pro minent object of speculation in the market while the receding tide of California emigration is passing into Texas on the kback track," & securing much of what is every where acknowledged to be the best planting aud agricultural district in the South. A Ducking. It is stated that the Rev Edward Matthews, travelling agent, of the American Baptist Emancipation Society of New York, whilst on a pilgrimage to the residence of Cassius M. Clay, of Kentucky, stopped ut Richmond, Ivy., and made use ot certain unwholesome expres sions relative to the subject of slavery, I . wnicii induced the citizens to order him to Ie ave the town. He lelt, but returned a day or two afterwards, whereupon some citizens seized nun, and alter ducking him nine times in a horse-pond, ordered him to leave the btate. Upon refusing to do so. he was dipped twice more ; whereupon he promised to leave immediately, and took up the line of inarch on foot for Pennsylvania. Wilmington akd Manchester Rail Road. The Columbia Telegraph says, Gen. Harlee, the able & indefatigable Pre sident of the Wilmington and Manchester Railroad Company, passed through our town a few days since, on his way to the North, on business connected with his road. We learn with pleasure, that the great en terprize over which he presides is going, on successfully and speedily, the road being ready for superstructure to the Pee Dee, and all beyond that being under contracts which will be prosecuted vigorously. An arrangement is contemplated we believe, between this company and the South Caro lina Rail Road company, by which a per manent structure will be erected and kept up over the Wateree, the crossing there being occasionally a sort of submarine rail way, which is not suitable for highland locomotives. - The companies will share the expense jointly we presume, and as a consideration some privileges will be allow ed the new company. Cheraw Gazelle. A singular wager has been laid in Spain between the Duke of Osuna an! the cele brated banker Salamanca. It is horse against railroad. The Duke bets that his horses shall beat the locomotive on the Mad rid & Aranjuez. Railroad, which is twenty seven miles long. Several horses are to be employed, and are to be stationed thus; A jockey and horse at the Toledo gate of Madrid to ride the first league and deliver a paper to the second, who is to be in readi ness with another horse to ride another league, and so on. It is said that the Duke calculates that each league maybe done in seven minutes, making foryt-nine minutes for the whole distance his horses will have to run. The high road on which the horses run is seven leagues in length. The wager is for a million of reals, SI 25,000. A fit ratifying Change. We are just informed of a remarkable change in the course of business in the Carriage making line. A few years ago, many Northern made Carriages passed through this place for the interior every year. For a year or two past, scarcely one has been received in that way. On the contrary, not only is our own State supplied from the excellent home manufactories in this-and other places, but our Carriage Makers have ac- tually become shippers or tneir venicies. We are glad to hear that Mr McKethan last week forwarded two Carriages to Mem- nhisin Tennessee, via New Orleans, and a Bugy to Georgia, via Savannah, to the orders of gentlemen who had seen and used carriages of his make. His carriages are so faithfully built, that those who have used them once have no desire to go North for the article. And we doubt if any Southern establishment has extended its reputation so widely. Hundreds of his vehicles have been carried by emigrants to the Southern and South-western States. Observer. Fatal Affray in Camden. We find the following account of a fatal rencontre in Camden in the Charleston Sun: "Editors of the Sun: I hasten to inform you of the fatal issue of a rencontre which took place in our town yesterday, about half-past 12 o'clock, between Robert J. Lester, formerly of Georgetown, and Samuel J. Love, of this place, in which the former received a pistol shot in the abdomen, which caused his death in about seventeen hours. "A jury of inquest was called this morning at lOo'clcck, whose verdict will be made known in due time; consequently we forbear comment. r "Love has been arrested, and is now in jail to await his trial, which will probably take place at our Spring Term." ENCOURAGE TH E r HOME If there's a will there's a way. A glover's apprentice in Edinburgh once resolved to qualify himself for a higher profession. The relation with whom he li veil was very poor and could not afford a candle, and scarcely a fire at night ; and as it was only after shop hours that this young man had leisure, he had no alternative but to go into the street at night, and plant him self, with his book, near a shop-window, the lights of which enabled him to read it ; and when they put out he used to climb a lamp post, holding on with one hand, while he held his book with the other The person lived to be one ol the greatest oriential scholars in the world, and the. first book in Arabic, printed in Scotland, was his production.
