On motion of Mr Elliott, of Cumberland, a committee was appointed to meinoralize the Reproaching Legislature on the subject of di minishing and restraining the number of dogs, o as to render sheep-raising less difficult and l.nTfii-doiia. Mr Elliott referred to the existing evil, and expressed the hope that the Legislature would take some action on the subject.

On Wednesday nitrht the following gentlemen were elected officers of the Society : Thomas Ruffin, of Alamance, President. A. W. Venable, of Granville, Dr W. R. Holt of T)avid?o i. Dr- E- M. Crudup, of Franklin A- II It Bridges, of Edgecombe, Vice Presidents Dr .T V Tompkins, of Wake, Recording Secretary. Thomas J. Leimiy, of Wake, Corresponding Secretary. Fabius J. Uutchins, of Wake, Treasurer. Mr Bridges, of Edsreconibe, being callet upon gave his experience as a practical farmer in. on the importance of manures, and detailed his experiments in the making and using of t-iw.a !;,!. satisfied him of their superiority to stable manure as a permanent fertilizer. Mr Elliott, of Cumberland, corroborated Mr B.'s statement as to the value of ashes. H considered oak ashes fully equal to lime in equa quantities. He advocated agricultural educa tion, and regretted that so much prejudice ex-j is ted against "book-fanning." The Hon. Thomas ttullin, of Alamance, spoke warmly in favor of raising funds to establish an experimental farm not for profit, but for mak ing experiments which it is impossible for pri vate individuals to do. He then explained the effect of animal and vegetable manures, and stated no general rule can be depended on .. i-h individual must trust to his own indgment in making deductions from general principles. For twenty years he had raised at least fifteen thousand pounds of pork annually upon coni neio peas only; aim ne urew attention w ure great value of peas as a fertiziler. The President, Mr Smith, supported the views of Judge Iliiflin on this subject. Mr Burgwynn, of Halifax, followed upon the importance of deep ploughing; after which an interesting discussion took place between Mr Venable and Dr. Crudup as to whether agri culture is a science or an art. After some re marks from Dr. Tompkins on the importance of establishing life-memberships, the Society ad-iourned. On Thursday night the committee appointed! to memorialize the Legislature on the subject of dors, presented their report and a copy of the memorial, which, being read and approved, ou motion of Dr. Holt two hundred copies were ordered to be printed and distributed among the members of that body. The committee appointed Treasurer's books, reported St. 'JSC was in f i Is hands to Society. Report accepted. The committee on the subject reported against changing the time for holding the annual Fwir; which, alter some discussion, was approved by a large majority. The subject of raising funds to place the Society on a permanent tooting was theu taken tip, and after considerable discussion the names of the counties were called alphabetically, and the following sums pledged for the purpose: Edgecombe $1,000, Wake $500, Cumberland $.")00, Davidson 500, Granville $500, Hali fax $500. Hertford $500, Chatham $500, Bertie $500, Alamance $500, Nash $250, New Hanover $500, Northampton $500, Orange $500, S-impsusi 3500, City of Raleigh $500, Warren $5'J0, Washington $500, Caswell $500. Delegates were then appointed to attend the Virginia Fairs, after which it was resolved that all delegates from other Societies be admitted as honorary members and invited to participate in the proceedings of the Society A committee of three for the reception of Cape Fear and Deep Itlver Works. Wc find the following in the Standard of the 25th: Mr Editor : Mv attention has been called to a notice in the papers of the appointment of Mr McDuffic os Chief Engineer ot the uape ear and Deep River Improvement. I presume there must be some mistake in this announcement as I understand the services of E. A. Douglass, of Mam-honk, Pennsylvania, has been obtained as Chief Engineer to examine the works npon said River and report to the Stockholders. Ot Air McDuffie we can only say we understand he is a worthy young gentleman employed recently by the President of the Company temporarily to have some work executed upon the -River near Fayetteville, buHs not the Chief Engineer of the Company. And in regard to Mr Uou glass, we know that through the energy of Win. McLean, whose operations in coal at Egypt, on Deep River, has elicited much in terest, and under the action of the Directors the services of Mr Douglass have been procured, and as it is matter of interest to all concerned in the Deap River improvement, and indeed to the citizens generally in North Carolina, we think it not out of place to state that Mr lou- lass is perhaps the most scientific and practical man known in the United States in slack water navigation for the transportation of coal. He is now the Chief Engineer of the Lehigh Coal and slack water navigation Company or i enn- svlvania, and built those works, & at Mauehunk, in Pennsylvania, there are annually one million one hundred thousand tons of coal transported over this improvement to Philadelphia ana New York; and is also favorably known as connect ed with the slack water improvements of New Jersey. I state these facts in no opposition to the claims of Mr McDuffie, for I understand he is an efficient young man, but I think it due to the Stockholders, of whom the State is a large share holder, to give the information desired as to the ability of Mr Douglass, who is daily ex pected upon our River.

The Duke of Newcastle has published Bbcovcry of to examine the that the sum of the credit of the Fra.uL.lin Pierce. This faithful friend of the South is pursued hotly by the blood hounds, not only of Aboli tionism, but strange to relate, of the whig party of the South. We scarcely open a whig paper but we see some low fling cast at this noble man. And there is nothing so convin cing of the greatness of any man, than, when he conies into power, the opposition hurl at him the shafts of hatred, envy and malice. So soon as President fierce was eievatcu io me high position he now holds, so soon the cry of "Down with him !" rose from the throats of the blood thirsty villains of the North, and what is still worse, and what shows a stranger affilia tion between Northern Abolitionism and South ern whiggery, the whig press have fallen into the same current, pouring forth their ana t.henisis. "loud, lone: and 3jeei" against him and his friends. Neither he, nor even one of his cabinet, Ma rev. Guthrie, Davis, Dobbin, McLelland, Campbell or Cushing, have escap ed their maledictions. The charges of Aboli tion and Disunion have been brought against them, but they have withstood their terrible shocks of the thunderbolts of whiggery ; and the democratic party, Nonh and South, true lo her interests and the interests of the country, have hurled back in their teeth, these allega tions, as totally unfounded. There is nothing I that shows so plainly the President's friendship arc "heaped mountain-high" npon him, by the abolitionists and free-soilcrs of the North. Such a course raises him in the estimation of true Southrons. His repudiation by Northern fanatics of every stripe, serve only to endear him to the hearts of the people, that, like him, are equally open to their unjust and unmerited denunciations.

The Nation- ! al Intelligencer publishes the list of appropria tions by the last Congress, and says : It will be seen that the aggregate of definite appropriations, including the Treaty with Mex ico, amounts to over sixty-five millions of dol lars. The indefinite appropriations will swell the amount considerably, perhaps as much as five millions. There were created a number of new offices, to some of which a per diem com pensation is affixed. The salaries of the Assis tant Postmasters General were raised from $2,500 to $3,000 per annum.

A private despatch says that the English loss at the battle on the Alma was close on 2,000 men, that of the French was but 1,400, but General Bonet was killed. The Russians numbered 40,000 meu and 100 canuon. Letters from Vienna, Oct. 2d, state, reliablv. that the reserves of the allies were not brought into action. The English on the left wing, the Turks ou tlfe centre, and the French on the right wing, did their work so 'well that tJw Russians never had a chance. The news in&i the English were at first repulsed is not coTi firnied. " At first, the retreat of the Russians was in good . order, but as soon as the heavy artillery of the fleet (query ?) began to play upon them, they fled precipitantly. Menschi koff was chased by some chasseurs, and only escaped by the fleetness of his horse. .The Russian loss is variously estimated at G, 000 to 10,000. the former being probably the more correct.

The English lost 1,895 rank and file, 9G officers, 114 ser sreants. and 23 drummers, killed and wounded. Both Marshal St. Arnaud and Lord Raglan issued orders of the clay praising the conduct of the troops under their command. St. Arnaud informed his men that he expected to lead them as conquerors into Sebastopol on the 3d October, the anniversary of the declaration of war.

The Providence Journal publishes the following ex tract from a letter received in Providence, dated Rio Janerio, Sept. 6th: "Before this reaches yon, I expect there will be a sensation iu the States, because of the Str. Bay State, bound for,San Francisco, having been fired into bv the English brig Bonita. The Consul has had the matter under advisement, and the Kroner papers have been forwarded to our Gov ernment. It seems that the man-of-war, being to leeward, fired three blank guns for her to heave to; thereupon, with his colors Hying, Captain Wardle hauled his fore and jib sheets to windward, lowered the peak of her fore and aft sails, and waited for him to come up, when three shots were fired in succession. The first fell short, the second came within ten feet of her fore foot, and the last passed between his fore ami main-masts. On the boat reaching the gangway, the Englishman inquired who was the master, when Captain Wardle answer ed that he was the man. He then asserted that t"he steamer's men were all drunk, and in a surly manner demanded why he did not heave to. Capt. Wardle answered that he had clone to before he had fired a shot. His papers were examined, when the Englishman, rioting in the steamer's log the fact of boarding him, left. There is a Russian frigate somewhere on the coast, and the English are out looking for him." Horrors of the Chinese War A friend has kindly furnished us (says the Boston Traveller) with au extract from a pri vate letter just received from Dr. Parker, the Missionary burgeon of Canton, which will be read with interest. The letter is dated Canton July 18, 1854, and reads as follows : "China is at present the theatre of civil war and revolution, and within the last fortnight all their horrors have been exhibited very near to us. On the 6th of July, Fiehshou, a town 10 or 12 miles west of Canton, embracing nearly a million of people, fell into the power of the insurgents, and the imperialists have endeavored in vain to recapture it. The smoke by day and tire by night, of burning villages, have been visible from mv terrace. On the 13th inst the first blood was shed on the north of this city, a few miles distant, if we except that spilt by the sword of the executioner, the number of decapi tations daily averaging 50 or 60, and for the last ten years 50,000! To-day there has been a second battle in this vicinity 68 insurgents taken prisoners, and one hundred slain. "Day before yesterday the insurgents were victorious and 300 imperialists were killed. It is said some of the captives to-day were brought in on poles, their hands and feet being tied like pigs; others were brought in on the points of sharp bamboos; some have their ears cut off; others are ham-strung. The panic in the city, as the gates were closed during these skirmishes, and the flight of women and children, it is diffi cult to portray: and from hour to hour we know not what may become the condition of foreigners. But most fortunately at present there is a naval force British and American able to protect us against any mob. Alas! for China. It would seem the declaration, that the nations that will not serve God shall be de stroyed, is about to be fulfilled. Our only con solatiou is the Lord reigneth!''

But if parents u ill use cold water on their own persons, let me entreat them to have mercy on their helpless children. Do heed their cries and entreaties to rearm it a little! Nothing is more heathenish and barbarous than to bathe children in cold, or nearly cold water. I be lieve it injurious to wash our hands and faces in cold teintcr water. Those who do it, Twill find that they have rough and cracked skins. The suffering, of children while being wajjied is but small compared with the evil effects That often follow the application of cold water to the head, viz., congestion of the head or lings, especially the latter. True, cold water so ap plied will make precocious children, and it will also fill the graveyard with the opening buds of infancy. I think it will be found that more children die with head diseases since the use of water has been in vogue, than before; and for the reason already given The fact is, the brain requires and receives more blood than any organ of the system. The application of cold water to the head increases the amount, and hence it is no uncommon thing that children, especially "smart ones," die, as above stated, with head disease. Indeed, it has become a proverb among our mothers, at least, "that such children are too smart to live," ana it is so. By such treatment the brain becomes too active and large tor the body, ana, use a powerful engine in a small boatj soon shatters it to pieces and sends it to tlie uoiiorn. x can not close my remarks without entreating moth ers in the name of humanity not to attempt to toughen, as it is called, their children by half clothing them in cold weather. My heart has ached as I have seen them thus exposed to the piercing winds of a northern winter. Many a mother has thus sown the seeds of premature death in her offspring, for which she has solaced herself by calling it a "mysterious Providence." If you would have healthy, robust children, sec that they are warmly clad, especially their extremities. In connection with col$L bathing, I would utter my disclaimer against the pre vailing practice of rubbing the skin with coarse rough towels or horse brushes. No error in the water-treatment is more injurious. A healthy skin is smooth, soft, and velvet-like; and any thing that irritates it and makes it. rough is injurious. But few of the people understand the func tions of the skin, or the importance of a healthy skin to a healthy body. My limits will not allow of my discussing the matter. At some future time I may take it up. I annrove of gentle rubbing of the skin with soft cloths: or. better, with the bare hand. But it should not be rubbed any-way to produce unpleasant sensa tions. If we credit the reports of patients who have taken treatment at our AVater-Cure Establish ments, the heroic or cold treatment is too much in vo-jue in them for their good. For the Carolinian. Thoughts of Home. By G. C. McG. How I long again to view, Mv childhood's dwelling place, To press my mother to my heart To see my father's face.

Oh! let me see my home once more, For but a little while, But once again my eyes to see, My mother's gentle smile; Before disease, with all her host of pains, Chill the warm tide-that flows in her veins, . Ere health affrighted, spreads her wing, Aud fly away like the fragrant spring.

We understand that the Directors of the South Carolina Railroad have had a meeting on Friday last, and con cluded to decline carrying the U. S. Mail after the 1st of next month. So it would appear that all the overtures of the P. O. Department have been rejected by the company: what course is to be pursued, in v iew of this state of the case, we are unable to say. The interests of the public demand that something should be done. It is probable that the intercourse with the South will be kept up by means of stages direct from the terminus ot the Manchester Kail Road, at Kinuisville, to Augusta, winch, we presume, can be done, as there is a long detention at that point, under the existing arrangement, which leaves a sufficient margin to admit of the matter being easily accomplished.

It may be indeed I am childish and vain, But 1 love the old relique of antiquate form, Like the surf beaten vessel that furrows the main It hath struggled aud weathered thro' many a storm Full well I remember it, when but a boy, The spot where 'twas placed by that niatrouly hand, And now I am old, like a child with its toy, I love the old relic my Grand-mother's stand. " 'Tis a long time ago," though briefly it seems, Since I heard the dear lessons of virtue aud truth; Oh, oh that the Past would return with its dreams, And let me live over one day of my youth ! Then I should sit down in that old fashioned room, So simple, so artless, so rusticly planned; Then I should bring roses, and drink their perfume, As they blushed iu the vase on my Grand mother's stand Ah, well I remember the treasures it bore The book our kind rector deposited there; In fancy I see the good man at the door, In fancy behold him still bending in prayer, That old fashioned Bible I ne'er can forget, That blessed old Book with its holy command, That "old fasioned Bible"' I see it there yet, That dear blessed book, ou my Grand-mother's stand. O, the world may boast of its beauty and art, And science explore the dark depths of the tide; Bnt the past, with its treasures, can gladden the heart Far more than the perishing gildings of pride. Then, away with your grandeur and arts that impose, I'll praise the old relic with life's w asting sand : I'll guard the dear treasure, till life's latest close, And bless, when I'm dying, my Grand-mother's stand. Elmwooh. H. B. W. Why the Vesta nm xot assist the Arctic The Cantain of the I rench steamer esta states, that from the circumstance that Capt. Luce steamed around him to give assistance, he supposed that the Arctic was not seriously damaged, and when she left him his impression was-that she had made directly for New York. Otherwise, the Vesta could and would have re mained by her. The bow of the Vesta was damaged literally stove in, and leaving a rent of thirty feet. But the. compartment bulkhead saved her, and the French captain thought his vessel could have lived four or five days if necessary, before putting into port for repairs. In other words, he could have taken off every soul on board the Arctic, and landed them safely at Halifax or even Boston. That the Arctic steamed off iu the Western direction, statements heretofore published concur. That the Captain of the Vesta.. was thus put out of hearing of the signal guns which the Arctic subsequently tired, is not unaccountable. Prohibition in texsylvaxia. The Prohp bitory Law was submitted to a vote of the people of Pennsylvania at the recent election in that State. The complete official returns received at the Office of the Secretary of State, at Ilarrisburg, show a majority of three thousand against the prohibitory law. W. Hill, Esq., Secretary of State, publishes a notice in the Raleigh papers, requesting the Clerks of County Courts to read a resolution of the General Assembly of 1&50 '51, page 505, where they will see it is their duty to send to the Secretary's office a certified list of the acting Justices of tlie Peace of their respective Coun ties, every two years, and that the time is near at hand when this should be done. Charleston as a Grocery Market. We heard one of nts the other day, who trades mostly with Charleston, and who had just returned from the North, remark, that notwithstanding the high reputation of North ern cities, and particularly of Baltimore, for cheap goods, that he could buy groceries in Charleston and make a good profit by selling them at Baltimore prices. There is no reason why Charleston should not sell as cheap as any other city, only the want of that patronage which is so wantonly bestowed upon Northern abolitionists. Chcraio Gazette. Probable prize-fight. Tom Hyer is" in Cincinnati, it issaid, on "professional business" that is, he has entered into a wager with a man named McGowan, of St. Louis, for a prize-fight, the sum staked being three thousand dollars. The parties are to meet about half wav between the cities of New York and St. Louis, and tlie encounter is to take place about the last of this month. As Unmitigated Scamp. A gentlemanl looking individual obtained admission a few days ago to the Convent of the Sacred Heart in St. Louis, and in passing through the chapel appeared to be overcome with feelings of devo tion, ana knelt betore the altar as it in prayer. The Sister who attended him, not wishing to disturb his devotions, left him for a short time. On her return she found the scamp gone, taking with him a quantity of jewelry from about the image of the Virgin over the altar. On the same day he stole a valuable gold watch from a priest in St. Patrick's Church. STEAM BOAT LIXE. SOUTHERNER, FAIRY. for Passengers and Fre't EVERGREKX. and ELIZA. for. Freight only. J. R.

An eminent painter was once asked what he mixed his colors with, in order to produce so extraordinary an enect. "I mix them with brains, sir," wa9 his answer. Opposed to Foreign Influence. Some of our exchanges mention the fact of a 'Know Nothing" having been turned out of the society of which he was a member, for drinking an Irish whiskey punch with a German silver spoon iu it. Pre-Payment of Postage. Nine months ago fifty-two per centum of the letters sent in the U. S. mails, were at that time pre-paid. A recent investigation shows, that at this time quite sixty per centum of the letters so sent are pre-paid. Early Snow. The snow storm on Monday, Oct. 16, seems to have boen somewhat exten sive through Canada East, Maine, Xew-Hamp-shire, Vermont, aud the north part of Massachusetts. Newspapers. The cost of newspaper pub lishing has increased full twenty-five per cent, in less than two years. Unless by some method white paper is reduced in price, and that too, soon, many of the journals now published must go down. It has long been true that news paper publishing was among the least remunera tive of occupations, and the truth lias of late obtained a startling significance. We must have a cheaper article of white paper, or news papers will be reduced in number full one-half. New York Baptist Register. NOTICE.
