Tiie Presbyterian Church in Xorth Carolina has long labored under a serious disadvantage from file want of a journal to advocate her claims and represent her interests. It is esti mated that only 1000 Presbyterian Weeklies are taken in the bounds of onr three Presbyte ries. We have 13,000 Communicants, and it is safe to infer that there are 30,000 Presby terians in principle in the State. Onr Synod stands fifth in the Union in point of numbers, and her membership is greater tlian that of any Synod South or West of Pennsylvania. Our sister States on the Xorth and South, neither of which has a membership so large as onrs, publish the Central, and the Southern Presbyterian, for the benefit, of their people. Ihe time has come when the Presbyterian Church in X'orth Carolina 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 tbe piety of onr membership by diffusing evangelical knowledge—to promote tlic cause of Education—to develope the talents of our Ministry, and to strengthen the attachment of onr people to the soil and sanctuaries of their own State. If onr Church in other States, and other Churches iu this State, can supply their raeni- Ijers witli a religions journal, why may not we? Are Xorth Carolina Presbyterians inferior iu talent, energy and patriotism to tlieir neighbors on the Nortli or South, or to Christians of other denominations at liome?

As the watchmen tread steadily along their allotted beats, when the city is hushed in the deathly stillness of mid-night, they witness scenes and encounter events, of the most thrill ing as well as amusing character. Last night was damp and chilly. Heavy clouds Aiung over tlie city, siiuttiug out altogether the sil vered glittering watchers of the heavens, and a stiff uncomfortable breeze, from tlie nortli- west, swept the streets. Xo wonder that two watchmen of the Xinth Ward, rubbed their 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 to the dismiss ing roll-call. Xo wonder that they boldly faced the fierce winds, and made their big feet pat tlie side-walks most merrily^. Xo wonder they rejoiced in the cIo.se of their night’s work, and anticipated naught but a comfortable bed and a more comfortable slumber. On they tread, little dreaming of danger jnd trouble. Pa.ssing through a lighted street, they liad just turned into A iiie, when one of the watch men happening to raise his eyes, started back with affriglit and e.xclaimed— “Holy Mnddcr ! vat’s dat ?” “AVhat?’ asked his companion, .startled also at this sudden move. “See liim,” replied tlic other casting his long this work, shall we leave it undone?

I From the Georgia Qonstitvtinnalist \ *;oT. H'alher. I Messrs. Editors : After a most careful c.x- lamiiiatioH of Governnr AA’alkcr's inaugural, one tiling has .struck me as remarkably strange with regard to the impression it has made upon my own mind ; and that is, that I find niysclf for the first time in the whole course of iiiv life opposing (wiiat would now be called) tlie southern side of tliis question. From the days of .South Carolina nnllificatioii. I have invariably found mj'sclf attaclied to tlie southern riglits party, whenever that question lias been .sprung, and my feelings lead me that way now ; but justice, and riglit, liotli sav now “Be sure yon are rigiit, tlicu go ahead,” is an old but noble motto. Acting upon tliis prin ciple, ivc must prove Governor, AValkcr wrong, before u'e condemn him. Let us look for a moment at the present condition of Kansas. AVe find two powerful parlies arrayed against eacli other almost at the point of the bayonet. The one contending that tlie Topeka Constitu tion is the only true and constitutional way by which Congre.ss can possibly admit Kansas into tiie Union as a State : tlie other contend ing for admission upon terms iaid down by a pro-slavery Legislature, each acting entirely in dependent of the other, and both claiming a majority of voter.s in the State. Xow, no one, I presume, will contend that it would be right in Governor Vi’alker to take sides with either of these parties. AVell, what does he do ? Ho merely urges upon tlio citi zens of Kansas tlie spirit of tlie Democratic doctrine as laid down in tlic Cincinnati plat form—he insists tliat every man siiall conic up to tiie polls and cast his vote, and let the ma jority decide vi lictlier Kansas sliall be a free or a slave State. Xoiv, is not tliis right ; i.s it not just ; is it not (in ail candor) the true in terpretation of the Kansas bill? It is most certainly riglit: and it follows a.? a coiiseiinence, that on tliis point Governor Walker lias done iiotliiiig' Mrotig. And wliat, pray; ivould lie gained if Kansas could bo brought into the tiie Union as a slave State, liaving a majority of its people opposed to the in.stitiition of slave ry ? It would only be tlic means of promoting dissensions and strife, until the institution was abolislied. The only censurable feature in tliis address, (hat presents itself to my mind, is that part of it ill wliicli ho argues, that tlie location of slavery must ultimately be determined by tlie isothermal line—and this i.s merely tlic c.\- pressioii of Ids opinion—and mo.st free born Americans would argue, that every freeman has the right to tlie free expression of ids opin ion on any subjeci, -whother involving the (jiie.s- tion of slavery or not. As to tlie rcasoiiablo- iicss of tills opinion of Governor AValker, it is 110 more tiiaii a reiteration of an opinion ex pressed by one of onr aiilest representative;; during the last session of Coiigres.? ; in this opinion I fully concurred with our representa tive at tlie time, and do now, most sincerely, with Governor \Yalker. Governor AA’aHier has ahvnys been consider ed an able and iiidepondeiit advocate of south ern rights, and the liigh iiositions he lias filled, ! would have compelled him to have exposed Ids colors, had they been otherwise. The appoint- ineiit of Governor Y'alker, by NIr Rnchanaii, 111 one of tlie strongest evidences lie could liave given of Ids oil’ll personal attachments ; and 1 believe to-day, tliat President Biiehanan is as true to tlic true interests of the South, as trutli itself, and my opinion is, tliat tlio Democratic party, backed, as it is, by Mr Bueliaiiaii and a most unexcc]-)tioiiable Caliiiict, is tlie true southern rig'its party. I Democrats I beg of yon, as brotlicrs figliting ! ill a eonimon cause, and liaving the same ends ■ to acconqiiisli, to be calm during tliis storm, ^ anti form vour opinions witli coolness and de liberation, and do not in any case permit your selves to be drawn in the wake of interested or tricky politician,?, but take counsel from one of vour number, whe lias alivays ivorkcd as a pri- ' vate in the ranks, and let your country’s true interests be your aim ; and ’vliilst battling for the right, let cacli remember that, “He lives in fame, that died in virtue’s cause.” Sot'Tiii’.RN Right.?.

The Ambn.s.sad.or of Franco and the foreign Ministers ail wore the insignia of dilforent orders of kiiiglii!ioou. Lords Laiisdowiic, Clarendon, and Palmers ton each wore the ‘Garter,’ together with the gold and enamelled collar of that order. T’lic procession of tlio .sponsors entered the chapel live minutes before one o’clock. “Tha queen wore a white and silver moire antique dre.ss, trimmed M'ith a deep fioniicc of lloniton lace, white tulle, and branches of sil ver lloners. The top of the corsage was fring ed all round with diamonds. Her Majesty wore a diamond circlet, diamond car-rings, and diamond necklace. The (jiiceii also wore the riband of tlic order of tlic Garter from wliich was suspended a very miigiiificent ‘George,' composed of brilliants. Prince Albert was in tlie uniform of a field marslial, and wore collars of tlie Garter, the Golden Fleece and ofa Prus sian Order of knighthood.

Kissing.—Onr readers shall liavc tlie benefit of a good story tliat we lately beard. Travel ing into town about dusk, Mr K. bad occasion to call lit tbe niaiisioii of an esteemed friend who bad, among otlier worldly po.?scssioiiK, two or tlirce line daiigliters. lie had .scarcely kiiockod at the door, ivlicii it was opened by one of llie.se blooming maidens, who quick a.s thought, threw licr arm,? around his neck, and bedorc he liad time to say, “Oh, don’t!” pressed her warm delicate lips to his and gave him a.s sweet a kiss as ever swain deserved. In uUcr astonishment, the ivorthy gentleman was en deavoring to stamiiicr out .soiiictliiiig, when the damsel exclaimed, “Oh mercy, merer! Mr K. is this yon? 1 thought certainly it was my bro ther Henry.’’ “Pshaw!” said the geiiliemaii to himself, “you don’t think any .such thing’’ Rut taking lier hand lie said in a forgiving tone, “there i.s no harm done; doiit give younself any uneasi ness, though yon ought to be a little more careful.’’ After this gentle reproof lie was iislicrcd in to the parlor by tlic maiden, ivlio as she came to the liglit, could not conceal tlie deep Mush that glowed upon her cheek, ivliilc the boquet that was piuded upon her liosom shook like a flower garden in an cnrtiiqnakc. And when he rose to depart, it fell upon her to wait upon liim to the door; and it may be added that they held discourse together for several raimitcs—on wliat .sulijcet it is not for u? to .say. As the warm hearted youth jiloddcd home ward he argued 'vith himself in this wise; “Miss J. knew it was I wlio knocked at the door, or liow did s!;e recognize me before I spoke? And is it probable that her brother would knock before entering? She must be dcsiicratcly ill psliaw! AVhy if she loves a brother at that rate, how must she love a hus band? for 1 never felt sncli a kiss in iny life.” Three wee^s after the accident above des cribed, Mr K. was married to Afiss J. Xow don’t ask us if Mrs K. ever confessetl ■’mt licr kissing \va.? not a mistake, for posi- ll'.'cly wc shan’t tell. Alystcrv is useful only for the purpo.se of concealing ignorance.
