TME NOKTE D AK OIL H Rr IAK NORTH CAK0LIN1AN. Robert It. Bryan, Editor and Proprietor. FAYETTEV1LLE, X. C. FEBB.IT ARir 7, 1852. meeting of tlie Democracy. The members ot the Democratic Tarty of Cumberland County are requented to meet at the Court House in Fayetteville. on the SKCOND MONDAY in February next, (the 9th) being the Monday of the Special Term of the Superior Court, at 3 o'clock, p m., for the purpose of appointing delegates to the State Convention, and to the District Convention, -which is to elect a member to the Baltimore Convention for the 7th Congreeional District. A1ANV DEMOCRATS. Jan'y 24th, 1852. ACCIDENT. We are informed that Mr David McDuffie of this place, a bricklayer and plasterer by trade, received a severe and dangerous injury at VVhitesville, Columbus county, on Wednesday of last week. It seems that he was at work on the Ceurt House at that place, when the scaffold ing upon which he was standing gave way and he fell to the ground, a distance of about 30 feet. PLANK ROAD TOLLS. We understand that the amount of tolls collected on the Fayetteville and Western Plank Road for the last month, January, was about $'S30. fjr- We saw the other day at the Carriage Manufactory, of Mr A. H, Wfcitiield.a close car--Yiaige which in elegance of structure and beauty of finish we have rarely seen surpassed. It was put up to the order of Col. C. D. Hill of Duplin. The lamps are peculiarly elegant. If there is any one tiling in which Fayetteville possesses a pre-eminence, it is in the excellence of the riding vehicles which can be obtained at either of the carriage establishments here. We see by the foundations of a new fire proof brick building of large dimensions, that our fellow citizen, A. A. McKethan, Esqr., is going ahead in his usually energetic manner. Phoenix like, he emerges from the ashes witli renewed life and vigor. A WANT OF SOMETHING TO TALK ABOUT BUSINESS AND BEAUTY. Have you never when in company, observed the conversation all at once to flag, and found your self in consequence in the midst of a grave-yard stillness? What do you suppose was the reason of this ? It was, you answer, because the topics under consideration ceased to interest those who were discussing them. Even so now we find ourselfinthe midst of an editorial pause. We hardly know what to say for the entertainment of our readers. The news from Congress pos sesses but little interest. The cold weather, bringing in its train that most interesting text for newspaper editorials a stoppage of the mails has abated. Kossuth no longer possesses that interest which his advent to this country at first inspired, and, in short, there is a calm. But we will not suffer it to pass without some attempt, though in a humble way, to derive some benefit from it. Martin Farquhar Tupper shows his apprecia tion of beauty by this poetic exclamation, ,;Thou mightier than Manoahs son, whence is thy great Ftrunth .And wherein is the secret of thy crait, oh charmer charm iug wisely Allusion is here made to beauty in the ab stract, without regard to the different phases in which it manifests itself. In whatsoever way that manifestation is made it carries with it a magical and irrisistible power. This is a plain proposition, and the experience of every man confirms it. And yet how much is it disregard ed ! Well, let us see if we cannot make a prac tical application of this truth. Since the destructive fires by which our town has been desolated during the last seven years, there has been a great want of shade trees on our streets. Every one knows how much ornamental shade trees add to the beauty and com fort of a place. But this is not their only ad vantage. They contribute very materially to the protection f houses from fires in the closely built portions of a town. They combine there fore the " utile cum dulce." Sterne, we think, in enumerating the dutiesof a man, included the planting of a tree. "A tree," says some one, we forget now w ho, " will be growing while you are sleeping." It is not necessary that you should watch it as you wouli an eye-servant. And when once planted and properly protected, it will take care of itself. The soil of our town is admirably adapted to the growth of shade trees, as some of our streets will amply testify. Let our business streets then, where the want is principally felt, be planted with such trees as the taste and judgment of the owners of each lot shall respectively indicate. It is a great mistake to suppose that there is no connexion between business and beauty. Many a man is driven from a store which he designed entering for the pur pose of making some purchase, by the uninvit ing appearance of the interior. The heat of a summer's day, and the aspect of an outer world of parching and blinding reflections and rever berations of a noon-day sun, offer but little in ducement to one to stir out, whilst a shady ave nue, under whose protecting boughs he may . walk with comfort, will often tempt one to stroll forth. Under such circumstances some article of luxury, convenience, or perhaps necessity, may attract his attention and divest him of the loose change in his pocket. And again, if a place is beautified and made at tractive, it will have a' tendency to increase the transit of strangers through it. Oftentimes a traveller is in doubt as to which of two routes he will choose, and a very small circumstance, as for instance the peculiar attractiveness of some point on one of the proposed routes, will deter mine his choice. February is a suitable month for planting many of the varieties of shade trees, and we hope soon to see our fellow citizens, par ticularly on Hay street, where we have to do a good deal of our walking, manifesting an inter est in this matter adequate to its importance. BALTIMORE CONVENTION. Some time since we stated our objections to the proposed limitation of the number of delegates to the Bal timore Convention, to one delegate from each District. The question has been decided by the Democratic party in Mississippi and Alabama. They have paid no regard to the proposed limit, but sent as many delegates to the Baltimore Con vention as they pleased. In Mississippi the re presentation of each Congressional District con sists of twelve delegates. Of course Virginia will not limit herself according to the snggsetion of the Convention of '48. Petersburg Democrat. THE WESTERN WHIG PLATFORM. What will the Whigs of the East do ? In a recent number of the Greensboro' Patriot we find an article which jnay be regarded as de- j fining the position of the Western Whigs of this State upon the question of an open Convention to amend the Constitution of the State. We make the following extract : "We have no disposition to conceal the well matured opinion nay, it is our duty as the representative of what we believe to be the popular judgment around us to press the neces sity of nominating a candidate who shall speak out boldly, in every corner of the State, as an advocate of a free Convention to reform the Constitution. We would not ask him to specify the particulars .of reform what propositions in this relation he might approve or disapprove; only, that he should insist upon the right and propriety of the People, without reference to section or to party, taking the remodelling of their fundamental laws into their own hands, and raking it out of the hands of party demago gues and legislative log-rollers." From this it appears that the whigs of the western counties are bent upon an entire remod elling of the Constitution. They would disturb the basis of representation in the Senate and perhaps in the House, and distribute the school fund according to white population. A fine state of affairs we should then have doubtless the East paying the taxes into the State Trea sury and the West disbursing them. What an excellent thing it would be to tax the rich lands and the negroes of the East, and spend the money in boilding a railroad over the mountains and along the French Broad at the tune of about $40, 000 per mile ! This is to some "a consummation most devoutly to be wished," and is not this movement in favor of a change of the basis of re presentation in some way connected with it ? We do not say that it is so, but when people give cause of suspicion can they escape being sus pected? And this movement comes from the soi-disant conservative Party. God help us when conservatism consists in tearing up the foundations of the Constitution, b' destroying its compromises and reducing one portion of our people to a state of vassalage to the other. We rejoice however that all of the whigs of North Carolina are not enlisted in this crusade against the East. The Old North State in a late number, on the subject of " The duty of the Whigs," holds the following language : "The East cannot and will not support the candidates of any Convention which shall show a disposition to tamper with the present basis of representation, or the present distribution ot the Sehool Fund of the State ; and it would be worse than madness for our Western brethren to hope to succeed without our co-operation. Mutual forbearance and respect for the existing Constitution and laws should actuate the whig party, the slightest div ision of sentiment pro ducing Acrimony will inevitably result in the discomfiture of the party in the approaching contest." THE SECRETARY OF THE TREASURY & THE BRANCH MINT AT CHARLOTTE. In the recent Report of the Secretary of the Treasury, we find a recommendation that the Branch Mint at Charlotte, in this State, be dis continued as a Mint for coinage, and retained as an assay office, thereby diminishing the number of its officers. Little enough, in all conscience, of the patronage of the General Government is bestowed on North Carolina; but it seems that the Secretary of the Treasury, so far as in him lies, is determined to make that little less. Is the Secretary angry with the Old North State for having become regenerated and baptized in the democratic faith ? We know not. But it seems to us that this small establishment, con tributing so much to the convenience of our miners, might be permitted, without detriment to the affairs of the nation, to continue its op erations. FOREIGN NEWS. ' New York, Feb. 2. The steamship Humboldt arrived at Halifax on the 2d inst. From France we learn that the President has issued a decree dissolving the National Guard, which he says will be reorganized when wanted to preserve public order. Victor Hugo, Gen Changarnier, Thiers, and Girardin, with 620 Representatives of the National Assembly have been banished from France. Arrests are made daily, and a perfect reign of terror prevails, des potic power being exercised in anticipation of the proclamation of the Emperor. The French funds had fallen. The London Times say that nothing can save the Bi itish Cabinet unless it is liberally modified. The London News says that the British Gov ernment will express to the Cabinet at Washing ton in manly terms its disapproval of the outrage on the Prometheus, and will degrade its perpe trator. From the London Punch. RATHER TOO MUCH OF A GOOD THING We see advertised some " Crying Dolls." We must protest against this new kind of amuse ment. Just as if the real thing was not enough, but we are to have an addition to an evil that is already sufficiently " crying" in every house hold. We wish the inventor of this new toy (which might he called "The Disturber of the Peace of Private Families ") to be woke up re gularly in the middle of the night, for the next twelve months to come, by one of his own "Cry ing Dolls," and then he will be able to see how he likes it. "LetTone of the Dolls also be "Teeth ing" for we should not be astonished now to hear of " Teething Dolls" and " Coughing and choking Dolls," with other infantine varieties and then the punishment of the " monster in hu man form" will be complete. Dr. Guillotine perished by the instrument he invented. The in ventor of the "Crying Dolls" deserves a similar fate. He should be shut up with all his toys in " full cry," until, like Niobe, the crying was the death of him, and he was turned, by seme of fended mythological deity, into the 'great pump' of which his invention proclaims him to be the effigy. Union Convention of Alabama. A State Union Convention was held in Montgomery. Alabama, on the 19th instant, which adopted resolutions similar in manj respects to those set forth in the Georgia Platform. In addition, the Convention took ground against sending delegates to either the National Whig or Democratic Conventions, but declared in faver of hol ding a National Union Convention in the city of Washington, on the second Mon day in June next, to nominate Union can didates for the Presidency and Vice Presi dency. Eight delegates were appointed to represent the Union party of Alabama in the proposed Convention, and nine candidates selected for Presidential elec tors.

We learn that from and after the first of March next, two daily mails will be transmitted be tween Wilmington and New York, and that the Wilmington and Raleigh Rail Road will run two passenger trains a day in each direction. The trains for the South will reach Wilmington at 9 A. M. and 9 1-2 P. M. respectively ; of course, they will pass Goldsboro' about four hours earlier. The trains for the North will leave Wilmington at 8 A. M. and 2 P. M.. and will pass here four hours later The trains will run according to schedule time, and will not wait at either end after the hour for starting. This increase of mail facilities will add greatly to the con venience of the Public, and will be ap preciated by it. Considerable time, we know not exactly how many hours, is to be saved in the transmission of the mails to and from the Northern Cities.

Burns with a few men on board of a prize vessel, which vessel was re-captured by the Bri tish, and the crew made prisoners Mr Stanly among the rest. Wilmington Jour nal. The ad Valorem Tax Bill Passed. We congratulate the Legislature and the State on the passage, by both branches of the General Assembly, of the Ad Volorem Tax Bill. It only awaits the signature of his Excellency Gov. Cobb to become a law, and there is no doubt but that it will re ceive his signature at once. As a single measure, we consider it by far the most important law which has been enacted since the organization of the State Govern ment. The Legislature has entitled itself to the gratitude of the whole people, and it affords us unmixed pleasure to render it all honor for its wise and patriotic work. Savannah Republican. , - From the Charleston Courier. DEATH FROM THE EXPLOSION OF GUN POWDER. A melancholy occurrence took place early on Saturday morning last, at the United States Arsenal, situated at the extreme north western part of the city, which we regret to state was attended with loss of life. The facts of the case, as politely furnished us by Capt. Bradford, the officer in command, are substantially as follows. John Balster, a private in the Army, and a pyrotechnist by profession, obtained permission of his commander to prepare a display of fire works, which were intended lor exhibition on the 22U inst-7, in commemoration of Washington's birth day. There are three one story brick buildings on the enclosure, some distance from the main building, contiguous to each other, two of which were temporarily used by Balster, while preparing his fire works, in one of which was a barrel containing some 50 lbs., of loose powder, and in the other were arranged the pieces of fire works already finished. He and his assistant were encased at work on the morning above mentioned, the latter, however, soon left the premises and it is supposed that while Balster was in the act of ramm ing powder in a rocket it ignited from friction, and by some meaus or other the was communicated to the loose powder in the other building. Two explosions followed each in quick succession, and when Capt. Bradford repaired to the scene or disaster, Balstvr's body was found terribly mangled. The building in which the poor fellow was at work was rased to the ground, and the bricks scattered in every direction. One of the sides of each of the other buildings were blown out, besides being otherwise injured. Balster, it is thought must have been aware of his danger, and attempted to 'escape, but in doing so, was killed by the second ex plosion, which buried him under the ruins. He has left a wife and three children. His remains were conveyed to one of the apartments of the arsenal, where an in quest was held; and the Jury returned a verdict in accordance with the above facts. The steamship South Carolina, lately finished in New York for a company in South Carolina, arrived at Charleston on Thursday last, making the passage from port to port in 72 hours. Her engine was stopped 10 hours of the time, for the pur pose of adjusting her valves. The Courier says, "her beautiful proportions will excite the admiration of every critic in architec ture.'' She is intended to open a direct trade between Charleston and Liverpool, and should the enterprise prove success ful other ships are to be put upon the line. The South Carolina is commanded by Capt. R. H. Tucker, under whose super intendence she was constructed. She consumes thirteen tons of coal every twenty-four hours, or two and a half tons every five hours. She averaged 8 miles per hour, deducting 10 hours, the time the engine was stopped on account of force pumps, during which she run under can vass, and performed well. She had 42 fibSrs of fair and 36 hours head wiud from bar to bar. We wish the enterprise an abundant success. fVifm. Jour. Geological Survey. Prof. Emmons, State Geologist, accompanied by his son, who is one of his Assistants, left this place on Monday morning last for Pittsborough, with the view of making an examination of the coal -beds in that region of the State. These coal-beds are now exciting much attention, and it was deemed best that Prof. Emmons should visit them first. A thorough examination and a Report may be expected, which we hope soon to have the pleasure of laying before our readers. Prof. Emmons will repair next, in all probability, to the seaboard, and proceed thence towards the centre and West in the regular performance of his duties. His labors will extend over a vast field, hitherto unexplored. "We have the fullest confidence in his qualifications for the task he has assumed, and we anticipate from his labors the most valuable results. Raleigh Standard. Boston, Jan. 29. -Massachusetts jinti- Slavery Convention. Among the resolutions ottered at the Anti-Slavery Convention to-day, is ono in regard to Kossuth, which says We are forced to regard Kossuth's course, his indorsment of the Mexican War, his uncalled for slight of Auti-SIavery princi ples, and his yielding to the influences of the slave power, as fatal to his pretensions treason against humanity and human rights and false to his fame." In the speeches f chiefly by Messrs. Pillsbury, Wendell Phillips, and Garrison.) allusion was made to the power of the press the editors ot great leading papers were declared to have more power than - l ifik MfciT . resident of the United States. Mr Sumner was considered in danger, where he was, of succumbing to the Delilah ot slavery, and he had better be called home in time. and "Daniel Webster, the great dough face,' was charged in his late speech at the Congressional Banquet, of recanting before the keen eye of the great Hungarian. Opinion of the British Press of the Aa vy of the United States. The British Uni ted Service Journal speaks thus of our navy: From its infancy to its present state, most bravely, most gallantly, have the officers and men in the naval profession of America held up the honor of their flag. There is scarcely one action in which the slightest imputation can be cast on any individual. They have never avoided their enemies, excepting when it would have been the height of imprudence to have faced them. They have fought with the most determined valor. They have, in many cases, been successful over a na tion which held, undisputed, the command of the ocean; and this very circumstance of combating an enemy flushed with al most victory, adds a great laurel to the navy of the United State t.
