combination of isms. It is fresh in the memory
of every reading man that while. Know-Xothingism,
thus joined with Freesoil:sm, was
sweeping every thing before it in the free States,
the leaders of the Order continued their efforts
to create the impression at the South that their
organization was suppressing all sectional agi
tation. And the more effectually to entrap
Southern men into their organization, and to
i hold on to those whom they had already en-
trapped, they assembled in Convention in Phila-

! adopted a platform pledging themselves "to
abide by and maintain the existing laws upon

- A colossal statue of Washington, which has
been in process of casting at the foundry of the
Ames Company, in Chicopec, Mass., for the
past six mouths, was brought to a successful
termination on Monday last, under the most
exciting circumstances. The Springfield Re
publican ii-ives the following account.
The immense work has been cast in frag
ments, and that one just finished is the largest
and most difficult of the whole, namely, the
entire body of the horse. About one hun
dred persons had gathered from the neighbor
ing shops to witness the scene, wholly unpre
pared, however, for what followed. Soon after
the hot metal began to flow into the mould it
commenced spirting with great rapidity from
crevices in the mould, anil in all directions.
The workmen who stood njwci and around it
were enveloped in a shower of liquid fire, which
burned their hands, and faces, and set fire to
their garments, while the spectators lied in
terror from the building. Mr Ames, who was
near by, ran in at this moment, and was so
appalled at the sight that he w ished to have
the work abandoned. Rut the foreman of the
shop, Mr Langdon, anticipating some trouble,
had agreed with his workmen not to give up
the object of their long endeavors if a desper
ate effort could save it. With courage that
deserves great praise, they persevered, filled the
'mould, escaping with only slight injuries. We
saw the monster horse, headless and limbless,
lifted from his bed yesterday, and it was hailed
with entire success. The contractors may con
gratulate themselves over their work, for it is
the first and only achievement of the kind
made in this country; and perhaps, nowhere
tdse but in Munich, Bavaria, could so large a
piece of bronze statuary be cast.
Misdirected Inciters to Cashiers. We clip fche
fojjo wing paragraph from the Baltimore Sun,
as a satisfactory clue to some of the charges of
carelessness which are made against the Post
Office Department, and to call attention to the
large number of misdirected letters that were
received at the New York post office during the
past year The adoption of some such regula
tion as that now in force in New York in. "re

w ould tend greatly to prevent delay and mis
takes in the transmission of letters to such offi
cers, aud do away with these frequent charges
against the Post Office Department:
"It is stated that there is kept at the New
York post office a list of the cashiers of banks
in the United States. When letters are fo.ind
directed to that city to cashiers who do not
reside there this list is consulted, the error cor
rected, and the letter duly forwarded to its
proper destination. It appears from this list
that no less than 503 letters for cashiers have
been misdirected to New York since January 1,
1854, all of which were redirected and forwar
ded to their proper address. What a commen
tary on the carelessness of correspondents! all
of w hom, probably, charged the delay upon the
Post OQiee Department."

A Valuable Paint. For the information of
all who wish to obtain a cheap and valuable
paint for building, I would say take common
clay, (the same that our common bricks are
made of,) dry, pulverize, and run it through a
seive, and mix with sweet oil. You then have
a first rate fire proof paint, of a delicate drab
color. Put it on as thick as practicable.
If any one has doubts with regard to the
above, just try it on a small scale paint a
shingle, for instance, and let it dry. Recollect
that it must be mixed thicker thau common
paints.
1 he clav, when first dug, will he wet or
damp, but will soon dry, spread in the air
under a shelter, or, if wanted immediately, it
may be dried in a kettle over the fire. When
dry it will be in lumps, and can be pulverized
by placing an iron kettle a few inches in the
ground, containing the clay, and pounding it
with the end of a billet of hard wood. Then
sift it. Any clay will make paint, but the
colors may differ, which can- easily be ascer
tained by trying them on a small scale as
above indicated. By burning the clay slightly,
you will get a light red, and the greater the
heat you subject it to the brighter or deeper the

How to ope v IJivalves. "Talk of opening
oysters," said old Hurricane, "why nothing is
easier, if you only know how."
"And how's how?" inquired Starlight.
"Scotch snuff," answered old Hurricane, very
sententiously. "Scotch snuff. Bring a little
of it ever so near their noses, and they'll sneeze
their iids off."
"I know a genius," observed Meister Korl,
"who has a better plan. He spreads the bi
valves in a circle, seats himselt in the centre
and begins spinning a yarn. Sometimes it's an
adventure in Mexico: sometimes a letrend of
his loves, sometimes a marvelous stock opera
tion in Wall street. As he proceeds, the
natives get interested ; one by one they gape
with astonishment at the tremendous and dire
ful whoppers which are poured forth; aud as
they gape, my friend whips them out, peppers
them and swallows them."
"That'll do," said Starlight, with a long
sigh. "I wish we had a bushel of 'Millponds'

The Phii.osophv of Sneezing. A sneeze
always indicates that there is something wrong.
It does not occur in health unless some foreign
agent irritates the membrances of the nasal
passages, upon which the nervous filaments are
distributed. In case of cold, or what is termed
influenza, these are unduly excitable, and
hence the repeated sneezing which then occur.
The nose receives three sets' of nerves the
nerves of smell, those of feeling, and those of
motion. The former communicate to the brain
the odorous properties of substances with which
they come into contact, in a diffused or con
centrated state; the second communicate the
impressions of touch; the third move the muscles
of the nose, but the power of these muscles
is very limited. When a sneeze occurs, all
these faculties are excited in a high degree. A
grain of snuff excites the olfactory nerves,
which despatch to the brain the intelligence
that "stiuii bus attacked the nostril 3" aab.e
brain instantly sends a mandate through the
motor nerves to the muscles, saying "cast it
out!" and the result is unmistakable. So offen
sive is the enemy besieging the nostril held to
be, that the uose is not left to its own defence.
It were too feeble to accomplish this. An alli
ed army of muscles join in the rescue; nearly
one-half of the body arouses against the intru
der; from the muscles of the lips to those of
the abdomen, all unite in the effort for the ex
pulsion of the grain of snuff. Let ns consider
what occurs in this instantaneous operation.
The lung becomes fully inflated, the abdominal
organs are pressed downwards, and the veil of
of the palate drops down to form a barrier to
the escape of air throngh the month, and now
all the muscles which have relaxed for the
purpose, contract simultaneously, and force the
compressed air from the lungs iu a torrent out
through the nasal passages, with the benevo
lent determination to sweep away the particle
of snuff which has been causing irritation ther--in.
Such, then, is the complicated action of a
sneeze; and if the first effort does not succeed
then follows a second, a third, and a fourth
and not until victory is achieved, do the army
of defenders dissolve their compact, and settle
down into the enjoyment of peace and quietude

RAILROAD MEETING.
At Carthage, Moore county, on Wednesday
the 30th of January, 185G, a meeting having
been called, a number of gentlemen from An
son, Richmond, Montgomery, Randolph, Chat
ham and Moore counties, assembled in the
Court House for the purpose of interchanging
views, and expressing their sentiments iu rela
tion to the contemplated Railroad from the
Coal Fields on Deep River, to join the North
East Road at some point on the State line, in
the most elligible route to Cheraw, South
Carolina. ;
On motion of Col. John Morrison, the meet
ing was organized by the appointment of Alex.
Little, Esq., of Anson, as President, and Alex.
II McNeill and A R McDonald, Esq'rs., of
Moore, as Secretaries.
The President, on taking the chair, returned
his thanks for the honor conferred; and ex

On motion of Gen W D Dowd, the Presi

After consultation the committee, through
their chairman, M Q Waddill, Esq, reported
the following Preamble aud Resolutions, which
were unanimously adopted, to-wit:
Whereas, a Railroad from the Coal Fields
on Deep River, in North Carolina, to connect
with a Railroad through the State of South
Carolina, to the city of Charleston, has been
for some time contemplated by the citizens of
Richmond, Moore, Anson, Montgomery, Robe-
, i i r ill i
son, unainam aim iiamioipn: ana w nereas, the
citizens of South Carolina, upon said proposed
route, have manifested a disposition to co-operate
with the citizens of North Carolina, friend
ly to this enterprise, therefore,
Resolved, 1st. That we cheerfully join with
our ooutn Carolina ureuiren, in this nooie I
enterprise, for the development of the rich min
eral aud agricultural wealth of North Carolina,
and will meet them on half way ground, t:
consummate so desirable an object, and iu fur
therance of these views,
Resolved, 2d. That delegates be appointed
by the President of this meeting' from the dif
ferent counties, to attend any convention, which
may be held to further the contemplated foad,
at spli time and" place as shall be agreed upon
by the parties interested in said road.
Resolved, 3d. That the proceedings of the
convention ketd at Rockingham, Richmond
county, iu October last, meets the entire appro
bation of this meeting.
After the reading of the resolutions, M Q
.Waddill, Esq, set forth the propriety and ne
cessity of building the road, in an able and ap
propriate address, iu which he stated that up
wards of $500,000 had already been invested
iu the coal fields on Deep River, which was,
and would remain dead capital until facilities
were afforded for getting the coal to market.
That accordiug to present indications, and the
reports of eminent geologists, there could be
coal enough taken oat of the mines on Deep
River to keep half a dozen Railroads employ
ed in transporting it to market, and that of the
very best quality.
Col. John W. Cameron, editor of the N. C.
Argus, was next called upon, and responded in
a happy and felicitous manner. He said that
he resided iu a community whose citizens had
no interest in the pronosed road: but he knew
his neighbors and was willing to vouch for
their liberality. Theirs was no dog-in-the-manger
policy; and, though they might do
nothing for the wor k, they would throw no ob
stacles iu its way. As for himself, he was for
the road. Moore county, the valley of Deep
River, was hi-s birthplace and the home of his
boyhood; aud he should rejoice at the success
ful prosecution of any scheme having for its ob
ject the development of the rich agricultural
aud mineral resources of a region so dear to his
affections. He knew it h!td been said, and it
would be said again, that the road would carry
produce out of the State "to enrich rival com
munities:" but if this produce could not be car
ried to market within the State, was it not
better to sell it in a sister State than to let it
waste on the soil of its production ? He would
prefer trading to markets within the State if
they could be reached without too great a
sacrifice; but when this was not practicable,
why hesitate about going to South Carolina, or
any other sister State? He had traded iu
South Carolina himself, and had found her
dealers just and generous, high-minded and
honorable, and was willing to try them again.
That patriotism which would hem us iu by the
boundaries of State lines, had its origin iu the
breeches-pockets of its preachers, as often as
anywhere else. He would like to see our towns
flourishing; but he did not regard towns as the
i chief glory of any people. Those who raised
the produce which furnished employment for
commerce, were the bone aud sinew of the land,
and iu the construction of improvements their
good was the first thing to be consulted. He
wished to see the whole State interspersed with
railroads, bearing off the products of the soil
and bringing back the rich returns of industry
and enterprize to bless the people with the
means of improving their farms, educating their
children and disseminating light and know ledge
throughout the laud. He wanted to see the
whoie State converted into a garden. every
hill-top covered with a comfortable dwelling,
and all its valleys smiling with the fruits of an
intelligent husbandry. Such was Greece when
Hellenic agriculture attained to its highest ad
vancement when farmstead was joined to farm

land. the reader will have to imagine the
rest. The speech became so eloquent, the
oci iub liim usiue ms quill.
J.J. Jacksou, Esq., of Pittsboro', was then
called for, who addressed the meeting in a brief,
pointed manner, iu favor of the proposed road
He said that he could not conceive how the
Legislature could possibly refuse a charter.
W hat would be thought of a mother, whoatter
settling her children on different farms, should
withhold from one of them, the right of making
improvements, from the idle apprehension that
the effect of the proposed improvement, would
be to make his farm more productive, or his
situation more comfortable thau other of his
brothers. That nothing but a naked charter
would be asked of the Legislature.
Col. J. L. Gains, of Montgomery, being call
ed upon, responded in a speech favorable to
the enterprize, and replete with good sense.
He said if South Carolina would subscribe, and
assist us in building the road, her money would
be expended iu North Carolina, and we must
take benefit from it that the policy of build
ing up cities in any particular locality, at the

MKDICAL IMPOSSIBILITIES.
For a long time a certain class of diseases has baffled
the skill and prabtiec of the most eminent members of
the regular medical faculty. Foremost among these
we might instance epilepsy or falling fits. Happily
now by the skill and inventive genius of an eminent
i chemist of Baltimore, Md.. this disease lias been
brought within the means of a cure. We allude to the
preparation called 1he Vegetable Kx tract Epileptic

Anecdote f a fat tfan.
" Rridge t," said a lady, in the city of Gotham,
one morning, as she was reconnoitering in her
kitchen, to her servant, "what a quantity of
soap-grease you have there! We can get plenty
of soap for it, and we must exchange it for
some. Watch for ta fut nian, and when he
comes along, tell him 1 w ant to speak to him."
"Yes ma'am," says Bridget, keeping a bright
look-out of the kitchen window, atul no moving
creature escaped her watchful gaze. At lat
her industry seemed to be rewarded, for down
the street came a large portly gentleman, flour
ishing a cane, and looking the picture of good
humor. Sure, when he was in front of the
house, out she flew and informed him
mistress wished to speak to him.
"Speak to me, my t;ood nrl?" asked
gentleman.
"Yes sir, wants to speak to you, and says
would you be good enough to walk in?
This request, so direct, was not to be refused; !
so in a state of wonderment, up the stairs went j
the gentleman, and up stairs went Bridget, and !
knocking at her unstress door, put Iter head in
and exclaimed:
Fat gentleman's in the parlor ma'am." So
saying she instantly descended to the lower re
gions.
Iu the parlor!" thought the lady. "What
can it meanf liridsret must have blundered "
But down to the parlor she went, and up
rose our fat frieud with his blandest smile and
most graceful bow.
Your servant informed me, madam, that
you would like to speak to mc at your service
madam."
The mortified mistress saw the state of the
case immediately, and a smile wreathed itself
about her mouth in spite of herself, as she said:
"Will you pardon the terrible blunder of a
raw Irish girl, my dear sir? I told her to call
in the fat man to take away the soap-grease,
when she has made a mistake, you see."
The jolly fat gentleman leaned back in his
chair, and laughed such a hearty laugh as never
comes from jour lean gentry.
"No apologies needed, madam," said he, "it
is decidedly the best joke of the season Ha!
ha! ha! so she took me for the soap-grease
man, did she? It will ke.ep me laughing for
mouths, such a good joke!
Senators Unseated. The three know-nothing
members of the Louisiana Senate from New
Orleans have been unseated, and their three
democratic competitors declared to be legally
elected, notwithstanding the destruction of the
ballot boxes on the night of the election.
J6 The question of who is elected Governor
of Wisconsin is in dispute, and is now before
the Supreme Court of that State.
J6S5 Mr Marcy has declined to recognize
Parker II. French as Minister from Nicaragua.
A Long Nose. Old Uncle Hector was
famous for having the largest nose in all Cape
Fear region. He could not help that, thouh,
but unfortunately his habits gave it a bright,
rosy color, which, with its size, made it a
natural and artificial curiosity. One night he
retired to rest after indulging pretty freely all
the evening, and waking np in the course of the
night w ith a raging thirst, he rose and set off
for something to drink. It was pitch dark, and
for fear he would pitch against the door of his
room, which was usually left standing open, he
groped along, took the door directly between
his hands, and received the edge of it full tilt
against the end of his nose. It knocked him
over backward, and he screamed out with an
oath and agony:
"Well, 1 alwavs knew I had a. big nose, but I
