An Irish miner, named Thomas Welch, was killed at the Walker mine, five miles west of Greensborongh, by the fall ing of ji bucket, on Wednesday evening last. He was at the bottom of a shaft GG feet in depth.S The hands at the top had just com menced 'etting the bucket down ; when it had descended some six or eight feet it became de tached from tlte rope and fell, striking Welch upon the head and producing a fatal concussion of the brain.

A Word About Dogs. I'll e keeping of dogs js - jTBiost inexcusable and growing evil inex cusable, unless they are kept strictly for the purpose of guarding property, and then they should always be chained during the day. When people reflect, that the simplest bite from one of these animals, if he may chance to be sick, though only temporarily so, in nine cases out of ten Avill bring on one of the most awful Ljlcatlis that humanity has ever witnessed, how do they dare to expose themselves and their children daily? Think of the amount of food consumed by these useless creatures, laying all danger aside, and yet it does seem that the poorer a man is, the more dogs lie will keep ! We do think that the time has come, after so many fearful and fatal cases of hydrophobia as have recently occurred all over the country, for people to open their eyes to reason in this matter. Great Btl-aln and thv Imuresr nirnt question. While extensive preparations are going on in England with tnc apparent view ot engaging in the Eastern war against Russia, the London Examiner is pointing out what it believes will be the danger to which theBritish government will be exposed in taking such active part. It is to come from America, and the source, it is alleged, will be the continued assertion of the roval prerogative of impressment. Apprehen- sion of the enforcement of that power will drive many British seamen into the American service. "And," says the Examiner, "any attempt to seize one of them anywhere will involve us in stantly in a Avar with the United States ; be- .) ili i.i hi m n n'i ""inn of these men is and must be the snie qua noil ot the existence of the pow er and of the independence of that country. To avert this difficulty and retain her seamen, it is recommended that the government of Great Britain lose no time in proclaiming the total abolition of impressment in the navy. If that government be Avise, it will seriously consider this advice. The Examiner is certainly correct in its belief that the PAstem of impressment would not be tolerated on the deck of a vessel honestly bearing the stars and stripes anywhere upon the seas and therefore that Eutrland xvould Ttte liable to meet with more trouble than she may have bargained for. "We do not speak of this by way of threat or boast, but as a natural and matter-of-couse consequence if the theory of the Examiner should be turned into practice. Washington Union.

Ry the census of 18")0, the whole number of , white children at School in North Carolina dur- j in:r that vear. was 100.591. (one hundred thou-! sand, live' hundred and ninety-one.) i In 1840, after t lie Common Schools hud i been in operation about nine years, there were! iy,4K3 children at school; in ISoO, 100, DDI. j or fire h united fer cent gain in nine years ! The whole number of Common Schools at j that time was 032 ; in 1 85o, there were 2131 schools taught in seventy counties, and perhaps fully twenty-live hundred m all ; being an in crease in thirteen years of four hundred per cent. The increase in Colleges has been about two hundred and fifty per cent, and in Academies, at least one hundred per cent. The number of children now attending Com mon Schools, in seventy counties, is S3,S7o ; and the number in the counties not heard from, and the number not reported, may be safely estimated at twelve thousand more making at least 0.", 000 in 1853, against 14,037 in 1810, an increase of over sir hundred jer cent. The Common Schools have not injured the quality of education by breaking down better schools, for colleges and academies have made au unexampled increase, and the course of stu dies, has, every year, been made more thorough and practical. The value of apparatus for illustrating the sciences, at the schools now in the State, is perhaps fully three times as great as in 1840; the number of Grammars and Geographies sold, fully five times as great, ami the number of good scholars at least three times increased. Mr Wiley is convinced that for every two good subscription schools broken down by the Common Schools, we have at least three equal ly good common Schools and one Academy somewhere else, or two good schools for one, besides three or four other schools not so good, for every one thus interfered with. The whole income of the public School Fund f tlu--:TInited States, in 1850. aside from that raid1lyK"Mtroni&Hations, Xt. was 'only two millioits fn'e htindfen and odd thousand dollars ; and the income of the public fund of North Carolina, (aside from swamp lands and county taxes,) equal to more than one-twentieth of the whole. The whole amount expended iii tlte United States was nine millions and something over live hundred thousand dollars; and in North Carolina about one hundred and seventy-five thousand dollars. The whole number of public schools, tvas tbout 81,000, (eighty-one thousand,) and there fore the average amount expended in the United States, was about 117 dollars to the school the average amount in North Carolina, about 70 dollars to the school taught, and at least 5( dollars for every District in the State, or every four miles square of territory. Now, without farther taxation, we can nearly double this sum: many counties iioav lay no taxes for. school pur poses, while our general taxes tire lighter, our resources less developed, and the value of our real estate, mines, commerce and manufactures bound to increase more and more rapidly, from their present rates, than any other State in the Union. The average time during which all the schools are taught, in the year, for the whole State, is about four mouths ; and the whole number of white children between the ages of 5 and 21 years, eannot be short of 1 175,000 and of these, we may consider that at least 55,000 sire be tween the ages of 5 and 8, and 18 and 21 ; and we may calculate that of those tit this age, the number who have not yet commenced going to school, and who have finished their education, is at least 30,000 which, taken from 105,000, leaves 105,000. It is entirely safe to estimate that not more than two-thirds of those who go to school, at tend in any one year ; and by this calculation, we have o:ie hundred and fifty thousand chil dren attending school at some time in the State, and one hundred and sixty-live thousand who ought to be at school. This leaves fifteen thou sand as the estimated number of those who arc not attending school at all; but Ave have every reason to believe that one-third at least of these will yet go to some institutions of learning. If they do, it will leave us ten thousand illiterate people in a generation of one hundred and ninety-five thousand, or 1 in every 10". or sit the worst, fifteen thousand in one hundred and ninety-five thousand, or 1 in 13, who Avill not be able to read and write. M il. llcr. A young man named Cocke was arrested in Richmond a few days ago. In 1851 Corke was engaged to be nurried to a young lady sit Holly Springs, Mississippi. Having an intimafe friend, named William B. Sanderson, he re quested him to address this young lady himself, merely to test her faith to him. Sanderson accordingly addressed her, was accepted; and thev married. In about twenty minutes sifter the consummation of the ceremony, Cocke asked Sanderson to step into the street Avith him a minute. Having gone a little distance from the house, Cocke dreAv st pistol ami shot Sanderson dead, the ball striking just above the mouth. Cocke made his escape, and had not been found till the present time The following horizontal musing of a loafing tipler, deserves to be perpetuated.

She is the belle of t lie village the flower of the valley the nun of that secluded cloister; but she is the daughter of an ultra Abolition editor ami lecturer, who has often publicly declared that he would rather follow ins daughter to her grave than that she should become the wife of a slave owner.

The incidents arc well varied; the scenes beautifully described; and the interest admirably kept up. But the moral of the book is its highest merit. It brings the south and the North together; unites them in the tei'.derest of relations; enables them to look into each others' eyes, and to read others' hearts.
