PROSPECTUS ' OF , NORTH CAROLINA PRESBYTERIAN THE The Presbyterian Church in Xorth Carolina has long labored under a serious disadyantaiffe from the want of a journal to advocate her claims and represent her interests; It is esti mated that onlj 1000 Presbyterian Weeklies are tafcen in the bounds of our three Presbyte ries. We have 13,000 Communicants, anf lfc is safe to infer that there are 30.0 OO-J? terians in stands ana net . .:&r thau any Synod Sonth or West of Pennsylvania, Our sister States on the North and South, neither of which has a membership so large aa and her ours, publish the Central, and the Southern Presbyterian, for the benefit of their people. The time has come when the Presbyterian Church in North Caroliua should likewise do her duty to her children. It is a conceded and important fact, that hundreds of our members will take a State paper who will take no other. The Paper is needed to be the organ of our Synod and Presbyteries to elevate and en lighten the piety of our membership by diffusing evangelical knowledge to promote the cause of Education to develope theltalents of our Ministry, and to strengthen the attachment of our people to the soil and sanctuaries of their own State. - If our Church in other States, and other Churches in this gjtate, can supply their mem bers with a religious journal, why may not we? Are North Carolina Presh; Brians inferior in talent, energy and patriotism'to their ueighbors on the. North or South, or to Christians of other denominations at home? With the same or better opportunities of accomplishing this work, shall we leave it undone? In the language of one1 of our most able and useful VIinisters, an adopted son of our State, "It ought to have been undertaken 20 years ago, but it is not too late to begin to do right." In the last two or three months, a fund of about $5000 has been subscribed as a perma nent capital. At a meeting of the'eontributors held at Greensborough on the 14th of May, Rev. A. Baker, Chairman, the Paper was un animously located at Fayetteville, under the name and'title of the North-Carolina Pres byterian. Rev. Wm. N. Mebane and Rev. George McNeill were elected Editors: Rev. Messrs. George McNeill, Wm. N. Mebane, A. Baker and C. II. Wiley, and Messrs. Geonre McNeill, Sr., John B. Cook and David Mur phy were appointed an Executive Committee, to establish the Paper and manage its business It is our wish and design to make the Nonrn Carolina Presbyterian a journal of the first class, equal to the best in the country in typo graphical appearauce and in adaptation to the wants of our Churches. Its columns will afford the latest intelligence, both foreign and domes tic, and special care will be taken to give a full and accurate summary of State news. The name of the Paper is designed to be an expo nent of its character and contents. From con viction, it will advocate the conservative, or- Hhodox, Old School doctrines and order of the Church. Our first appeal is to our own people to N C. Presbyterians. Whilst we rely confidently upon their favor, we trust that the native sons of North Carolina who have found homes in other States, and the adopted citizens of our State who form so important an element in our Miuistry and membership, will take a deep iuterest in this enterprise, and give it their hearty supports ; Terms: $2 per annum in advance, or on de livery of the first number; $2 50 in six months $3 at the end of the year. To clubs of 25 or more, paying in adva'nee and when the Paper is sent to one address, a , discount of 10 per cent, will be allowed. Our Ministers and Elders are earnestly desired to act as Agents, and all others friendly to the cause will please assist in procuring as many subscribers as possi ble, and forward the names, by August 1st, to this Office. s soon as 1500 subscribers are obtained, the first nnmber will be issued. If a faithful and vigorous effort is made in the next twoi months by those Hho take a lively interest in this work, we will without doubt, be able to begin the publication at the end of that time with a paying subscription list of at least 3000.

No wonder that two watchmen of the Ninth Ward, rubbed thoir hands; with glee, as they heard the chime of St. Paul jingle quarter of 3 o'clock, the time for them to retire from their beats tolthe dismiss ing roll-call. No wonder that they b"ol lly. laced the herce winds, and made their big feet pat thje- side-walks most merrily. No wonder they rejoiced in the close of their night's work, and anticipated naught but a comfortable bed and aj more comfortable slumber. On they tread, little dreaming of danger and trouble. Passing through a lighted street, they had just turned into Vine,. when, one of the watch men happening to raise his eyes, started back with affright and exclaimed "Holy Muddet !' vat's da't ?" "Wjiat V asked his companion, startled also at this! sudden move. "See him," replied the other casting his Ions fingers in the direction of the opposite side of the street. . Gracious !" whispered the comrade, "what are it ? are it a ghost or are it not 1" 'fMrno Got in Himmel, it bes a'ghost !" was the reply of the other terrified guardian of the night; "See him shumn " j ; i A "S6 he does then it are no ghost .Ghosts never inmn. Mavbe he's a t.hipf . T.At'o arter him anvhow." . This, proposition was very hesitatingly agreed to by the Toutonic, but as he could not well refuse ! oUow hls comrade, he nodded assent, and mqved cautiously on. The sight which had at first so terrified th em. Was . full finrnro civ.hccj U a 'orrg garb of white, which moved aiowiy anu uppaicutir, in a circle upon the op posite sidewalk. As the watchmen approach" ed the j really ghost-like figure, they became more assured in the opinion ;that it was really a huniain being, and one who had not yet enter ed the valley and shadow of death. Still, how ever, their approach was cautious, and they were mpy feet from it, when one demanded in the tone cf authority : "Who and what are ye I Speak, for we are watchmen." ' The figure ceased to move, and turning his head in! the direction of the watchman, simply replied "Trunk by tam." . ' "Ha hal he! he!" shouted the other watch man, ''he be's not'in' but a trnnken mans. Ha! ha! he!; he! he be's no ghost, Let's pitch in to him." Xo sooner said than done. The courageous Charlie? approached manfully, and seized the spectre by the collar the shirt collar,' for he had no bther. 1 1 "Vat you doiu' here?" was the demand. Trunk, by tarn," was the reply. VVnat did you take on your clothes for I" Trunk, by tam,'' was the respousc again made. "Where do you live !" "Trtujik by tam." "You'sgot to go mit us to the Vatch House." "Trunk by tam." 1 By this time the whole mystery was explain ed. He who had been taken for a ghost was l a young! German uamed Carlos Delkrech. He had been libating during the night, and became so fuddled that he knew not what he was doing. He had really supposed himself at home, and had' stripped off his clothing and intended to lie down on a cellar door, which to him looked very much like a bed. The watchmen conducted him, in his undress state, to the Bre raon street locked up, where they allowed, him to sleep until 9 o'clock this morning, when they ushered him, with his swelled. head, before the Police Court. Judge Pruden repremanded Carlos (br getting so drunk he could not tell his bed from a cellar door, and for scaring two watchmen so bkdly by letting his under gar ments loose to the winds, at such an early hour of the morning. Carlos was sent up two days under the liquor law. "Digby, will you have some of this butter V "Thank you marm, I can't take any thing strong. , I belong to the Temperance Society."

Messrs-Editors After a most careful ex- amination of Governor Walker's inaugural, one thing has struck me - as ' remarkably strange with regard to the impression it' has made upon Lmy own mind ; and that is, that I find . myself for the first time in the whole course of my life opposmg (what 1 would now be called) the southern side of this question. From the'dajs of South Carolina nullification. southern rights party, whenever that'qaestion has been sprung, and my feelings lead me'that way now ; but justice, and right, both say now "Be snre yon are right, then go ahead," is an old but noble motto. Acting upon this prin ciple, we must prove Governor,, Walker wjong, before we condemn him. Let us look for a moment at the present condition of Kansas. We find two powerful parties arrayed against each other almost at the point of the bayonet.' The one contending that the Topeka Constitu tion is the only true and constitutional way by which Congress can possibly - admit Kansas into the Union as a State ; the other contend ing for admission upon tgrms laid down by a pro-slavery Legislature, each acting entirely in dependent of the other, and both claiming a majority of voters in the State. JNow, no one, I presume, will contend that it would be right in Governor Walker to take 'sides with -either- of these parties. Well, what does he do ? He merely urges upon the citi zens of Kansas the spirit of the Democratic doctrine as laid down in the Cincinnati plat form he insists that every man shall come up to the polls and cast his vote, and let the ma jority decide whether Kansas shall be a free or a slave State. Now. is not this piirli't - is if - . , D not just ; is it not (in all candor) the true in terpretation of the Kansas bill ? It is most certainly right; and it follows as a consequence; that on this poiut Governor Walker has done it . -.I .. ning wrong. And wiiat, pray, would be gained if Kansas could be brought into the the Union as a slave State, having a majority of its people opposed to the institution of slave ry ' It would only be the means of promoting dissensions and strife, until he institution was nbol-ishecL. The only censurable feature iu this address, that presents itself to my mind, is that part of it in which he argues, that the location of slavery must ultimately be determined by the isothermal line and this is merely the ex pression of his opinion and most free born Americans wonld argue, that every freeman has the right to the free expression of his opin ion on any subject, whether involving the ques tion of slavery or not. ' As to the reasonable ness of this opinion of Governor Walker, it is no more than a reiteration of an opinion ex pressed by one of our ablest representativeg during the last session of Congress ; in this I opinion I fully concurred with our representa tive at the time,xand do now, most sincerely, with Governor Walker. r Governor Walker has always been consider ed an able and independent advocate of south ern rights, and the high positions he has filled, would have compelled him to have exposed his colors, had they been otherwise. The appoint ment of Governor Walker, by Mr Buchanan," in one of the strongest evidentcs he could have given of his own personal attachments ; and I believe to-day, that President Buchanan is as true to the true interests of the South, as truth itself, and uiy opinion is, that the Democratic party, backed, as it is, by Mr Buchanan and a most unexceptionable Cabinet, is the true southern rights party. Democrats I beg of yon, as brothers fighting iu a common cause, and having, the same ends to accomplish, to be calm during this storm, and form your opinions with coolness and de liberation, and do not in any case permit your- Lselves to be drawn in the wake of interested or tricky politicians, but take counsel from one of your number, wh has always worked as a pri vate in the ranks, and let your ; country's true interests be your aim ; and whilst battling for the right, let each remember that, "He lives in fame, that died in virtue's cause." .. ;: Southern Rights.

VOLUME XIX NO. 959. ciraisTEXWc of i phixcess. The ceremony of christening of the infant Princess, fifth daughter of Queen Victoria and Prince Albert, took place in the Chapel within Buckingham Palace, on Tuesday, the 16th ult. The English papers contain fall accounts cf the affair: -"Thaconii!numon table was covered with crimson velvet, bordered with deep gold lace, and edged with bullion fringe. In front cf the table, immediately below the steps by wh'cli it was epproached, was placed the beautiful chris tening font oj silver gilt, elevated on a fluted circular pedestal of white, and gold. ,The fojit contained water brought from the river Jordan, and presented to the Queen spe cially fori the occasion. xAll the visiters ap peared id full dress uniform. The Ambassador ofTrance and the foreign Ministers all wore the insignia of different orders of knighthood. Lords Lansdowne, Clarendon, and Palmers- ton each wore the 'Garter together with the gold and enamelled collar of that order. The procession of the sponsors entered the chapel five minutes before one o'clock. "Tha queen wore a white and silver moire antiquo dress, trimmed with a deep flounce of Honiton lace, white tulle, and branches of sil ver flowers. The ton of tho corsacre was frincr- ed al round wifh diamonds. Her Majesty wore a diamond circlet, diamond ear-rfucrs, and diamond necklacej The Qneen also wore the riband of the order of the Garter from which was suspended a very magnificent 'George, composed of brilliants. Prince Albert was in the uniform of a field marshal, and wore collars of the Garter, the Golden Fleece and of a Prus sian Order of knighthood. The Prince of Wa les, Prince Alfred, and Prince Arthur appear ed in the Highland dress. "The Lord Chamberlain, accompanied by the groom of the State to Prince Albert, ooa ducted the infant princess iuto the chapel, her Royal Highness being carried by the Lead nurse. The Infant Princess wore a robe of Honiton lace over whjtqT satin. The Archbish op of Canterbury proceeded with the baptis mal service, and when he came to name her Royal Highness, Lady Caroline Barringtoa presented the Princess at the font, and tho Duchess, of Kent named her Beatrice Mary Victoria Feodore. "The Archbishop of Canterbury having pro nounced the blessing, the solemnity was con cluded at twenty-three minutes past one o'clock. - : Kissing. Onr readers shall have the benefit of a good story that we lately heard. Travel ing into town about dusk, Mr K. had occasion to call at the mansion of an esteemed friend who had, among other worldly possessions, two or three fine daughters. He had scarcely knockad at the door, when it was opened by one of these blooming maidens, who qnick. as thought, threw her arms around his, neck, and before he had-time to say, "Oh, don't!" pressed her warm delicate lips to his and gave him as sweet a kiss as ever swain deserved. In utter astonishment, the worthy gentleman was en deavoring to stammer out something, when the damsel exclaimed, "Oh mercy, mercy! Mr K. is this you? I thought certainly it was my bro ther Henry." "Pshaw!" said the gent!eraanto himself, "you don't think any such thing." But taking her hand he said in a forgiving tone, "there is no harm done; dont give yourself any uneasi ness, though you ought to be a little more careful' ' ' After this gentle reproof he was ushered in to the parlor by the maiden, who as she came to the light, could uot conceal the deep blush that glowed npon her cheek, while the boqnet that was pinded upon her bosom shook like a. flower garden in an earthquake. Aud when he rose to depart, it fell upon her to wait upon him to the door and it may be added that they held discourse together for several minutes on what subject-it is uot for us tosay. ; As the warm hearted youth plodded home ward he argued with himself in this wise: t VMiss J. knew it was I rho kuocked at the door, ot how did 'she recognize me befofe I spoke? Aud is it probable that her brother would knock bpfore entering? She must be desperately in pshaw! Why if she loves a brother at that rate, how must she love a hus band? for I never felt such a kiss in my life.' Three weeks after the aetident above des cribed, Mr K. wa3 married to Miss J. Now doVt ask us if Mrs K. ever confessed that her kissing was not a mistake, for posi tively we shan't telL Mystery is useful only for. the purpose of concealing ignorance- Why is a hangman's trade like a vegetable 't Because it is an arto'-chol-e- Never despise trifles.
