Tlio4 painful duty devoh es upon us of announ cing to our readers the death of Perrin liusbce, of this City, who expired after a brief illness of billions fever, on Friday CA enino: last about half past seven o'clock, in the 38th year of his ae. Mr; Busbee hail been absent for several weeks, in atfendance as Reporter of theSupreme Court at ildrganton. He reached home the Saturday morning previous to his death. On Mouday morcing vac saAv him in fine spirits and appar ently excellent health; but on the evening of the someday he was seized with the sickness which terminated in his death. M; Busbee graduated with distinction at tin Unkersity of Xorth Carolina, ami Avas admit ted it an early age to the practice of the law. He rose rapidly in his profession, and was justly regarded, at the time of his death, as one of our souu.lest and ablest lawyers. As an advocate he had no superior among men of the same age with himself, while he was nearly always asso ciated" in important cases with liis seniors, who had attained the front rank in the profession. He ras most attentive to the interests of his clients, laborious in the preparation of ins causes, and ardent in his pursuit of truth and justice! 31r IJusbee was no seeker of public office.. He Avas too modest to adopt any course in rela tion to office Avhich might leave" the impression that he desired it, or had a Avish to obtain i( over the heads of others: but at the same time no man served his party more faithfully or la bored more constantly for its principles than he am. lie aa'us a member ot the Baltimore Con vention of 1840 repeatedly a member of the Democratic State Committee Elector on the Cass and Butler Ticket in 1848 Clerk of the House ot Commons lor several sessions, and at the time of his death Reporter of the Supreme Court and a Councillor of State. No one en joyed more than he the confidence of his party, and no man was more popular with the masses in this County and District. His popularitv was the rroAvth of Arenrs, and Avas the natural Tr;f rbi.i e b i , n ,,....,,.t,i ..f j i p. iiiouLuiu iitxn lc-iliicilicil.

But regrets are unavailing expressions of sor row can have no effct upon the "dull cold err of death." Tiie recollection of his many virtues will long be cherishetl by his friends; anil though to those near to him by the ties of affinity and blood the bereaAement is most stunning and agonizing, still they have the consolation ol knowing that the gloom of the grave had no terrors for him, anel that he has left to them all the legacy of a spotless anel honored name.

The force of his intel lect won for him this high position, and strict atlherencc to his principles, and great regard for the honor and safety of his country, combined ;lt't almost unparalleled integrity as a public man, secureel to him a national reputation, ol which Xorth Carolina may justly be proud. While the death of Gen. McKay is a loss to the whole country, -et avc with Avhom he has been more immetllately associated, cannot with hold this slight tribute of respect to his memory. Therefore, Resolved, That by the death of the Hon. Jas. J. McKay, Xorth Carolina has been depriA'cd of one of her most extinguished citizens, and the whole nation of one whose faithful adherence to the Constitution of his country, and Avhose great ability and honesty of purpose, have won the admiration of men of all parties. Resolved, That these resolutions be presentee! to the Court uoav in session, with a request that they be spread upon the minutes. f Resolved, That the papers of this Congres sional District are hereby respectfully requested to publish the proceedings of this meeting. At a meeting of the County Court of XeAV Hanover, on Saturday, the 17th of September, 1853, H. L. Holmes, Esq, announced to the Court the melancholy event of the death of Gen. McKay, paid a just tribute to the memory of the deceased, and presented the proceedings of the members of the Bar. Col. James T. Miller, Chairman of the Court, responded in behalf of the Court, cordially ac quiesced in the wish expressed by the members of the Bar, and directed their proceedings to be spread upon the minutes of the Court. .The 19th of May, 1854, is the time now fixed upon by the Milleritcs as the enel of the world. it vn sT j To nil pfrsoos interested in Common Scb90ln 5f, f . j The rending pul.lie will remember that I havp j recommended, to be used in our Common Schools i iUiuut'll x iiiTfriiir-iisirr tit, nnT.ni ,r t...t 1 ' - uivjiiojiii,, mm iiiut i I promised, in connection with the llonl I).

"The great aphorism of Bacon, that man dis covers truth so far only as he make himself the patient interpreter of nature, receives a new oi' a vaster application than he himself probably designed, Avhen he uttered that Aviso and preg nant sentence." VcBcws Review. To illustrate the above aphorism, based on wiselom, let me relate a comparatively humble, but lately elisceivered fact, and now practically settled, by close observation. I shall simply preface my statement of facts by saying, that the people of the Southern State s are more or less acepiainted Avith the Seupper njnu: vine. Its native and most congenial place i granted to be the eastern portion of INoi th Carolina. I t is there, also, where its fruit Avas first convcrtetl, or rather manufactured, (1 y drugging it Avith sugar and alcohol) into a soi disant Avino, Avhich is a misnomer; since the WBWr - nsiHiB- titter -. ..a.4-..- ,,- ... ., i. l icver ferment the Must into a villous beverage .-ri!i, tins Avme muse ie considered a great blc.-s- i tg to this country. It is uniepie in its physlolt gic u structure and functions. It is cxtraordiu- a-y in its great productiveness. Its fruit is hu mous and sweet, and abounds in tanning princi ples, or self-preserving elements; though the skin is thick, the seed large and numerous, the pulp mucilaginous; still, nature has placed t his A'ine and its fruit on a very high platform of i;a t iral improvement, aud has imparted to it an aromatic bouquet peculiar to it. Thisnattral c mdit'.on is greater than that of any fruit o: grain that man has gradually civilized anel im proved, by continual and careful cultivatiem, am which now is his dally food. In conclusion, J have always looked upon the Scuppemoug as the irape that was to be tiie most profitable of al tlieise American varieties that came to my notice, .mil the American champagne grape par excel Jence; its aromatic bouquet making it superior ti Uie Pinot, or INncau of Cantpagne. Full of this idea, I, four years ago, began t study its habits, and especially its circulation, so much complained of. The universal impres sion and experience of all seemed to establisifa. in undeniable fact, that the Scuppemoug couh not be pruned or touched Avith the knife, at an season, Avithout causing it to bleed to deatii, o: nearly so; and therefore it Avas alloAveel to spreai out in luxuriant Avildness over a large extent ii a few years, aud in a few years more it becami an unmanageable mass of dead wood in the miti d'e portion; its vigorous Avood on the cxtremitic: of tlie arbor only bearing any fruit. This feattin of this vine, Avas, in my mind, an insuperable objection to its being aelapte-el to 3-ield a staph produce, easily ami cheaply managed. Tli 't wild condition causeel its bloemi te be not a unit, but it continues to bloom for a long time, a sii. gle flower after another; the natural consc epience of which is, that you see on the same vine, oi even in the same small cluster, berrrles ii every stage of progress, from entirely green t completely ripe fruit. This is a very objectionable conelition, since you cannot have one vintage: since such discordant elements can never yield ; unit of fermentation, which is indispensably accessary, in order to make Aviue, and not vinegar. This wild condition causes this vine to produce also scattered small clusters, having only a few berries on each, which renders the gathering f the vintage laborous anel expensive. All, or nearly all, these difficulties could be surmeunt: d in the course of time by cultivation, if the vh c could be pruned; therefore, the principal thing necessary to be founel, Avas the comparatively quiescent state of the circulation, er the period when the vine could be pruned Avith perfect im punity; from Avhich Avouicl follow, as a natural eonseemenee, the easier management of the vine, the concentration of the sap into fewer fruit bmls, and consequently a greater number ot berries on the same cluster, and in course of time, bv careful cultivation and appropriate manuring, Arould cause the fruit to have eve n a thinner skin, fewer seeds, less mucilage more sugar, anel milder tannin": principles. The safest and only period fnr pruning tins vine, is just at the time when it has been disbur dened of its ripe fruit. I hove -oine to this positive result, not only by logical reasoning, that the sap must be least abundant when it had crone through the most exhausting process that the vine is capable of, that of reproduction but by actual experiment upon them every month m the vear, I have come to the demonstration of this'discovery; and it is equally certain, as gen eral experience had established before, that to attempt to prune it at any. other time, the vine dresser is sure to kill the stock and ruin the vine.

This spring consists of a clear jstrcam ejfyery horribly tasting anel totally iujdorous liquid,."' fresh from the distillery ofnatnl-e elown -'somewhere in the earth. It is called 'blue lick,' mean ing, as aa c fhall show, lir.er for h'n-c ! A notion prevails among some of our Southern friends, that this 'blue lick' Avater has great potency in dispelling the troublesome consequences con- secjuent upon carrying in your head 'a brick' over night. Doubtless a man feels a sensation in the morning, after said 'brick' in his 'tile' a little worse than being chawed up by a whale, or drenched upon aquafortis, and perhaps-as noth- nig in pur .imagination can exceed the trulvter- ng; lo the negative (awfuJnfss) of fhe .'brick,' -ga temporary salvation may arise to such of. oif 'blue lick' advocates as rely upon such emer gencies. At all tc vents, the call for 'bine lick by tremulous and red-faced travellers, at tlie Astor, St. Xicholas, tvc., is becoming a very ordinaiy matter now-a-days. A feAV 'days agi, a gentleman of decided feebleness in his" knee pans, and impeelimeut in his voice, steps up to t ho bar of the St. Xic.holas, and says ho 'I I say, (hie) von a look here inv (hie) virtuous friend, (hie) have you a a (hie) that blue a, (hie) blue i -any (hie) of 11:1 thev talk about 'Blue rum, sir?' echoes h? barkeeper.
