It is a conceded and important fact, that hundreds of our members will take a State paper who will taku 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 the talents 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 State, can supply their mem bers with a religious journal, why may not we? Are North Carolina Presbyterians inferior in talent, energy and patriotic to their neighbors 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 one of our most able "and useful Ministers, an adopted sou 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 contributors held atGreensborough 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 Caroli.va 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. WTiley, and Messrs. George McNeill, Sr., John II. Cook and David Mur nliu were appointed an Executive Committee, to Ctablish the Paper and manage its.busincss1 It is our wish and desiorn to make rue XSrth Carolina Presbyterian a journal of the first "class, equal to the best in the country in typo- raphicai appearance and in adaptation to xno wants of our Churches. Its columns will attord the latest intelligence, both foreign and domes tic, and special care will be taken to give a full and accurate summary of State news. lhe 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 thodox, 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 Ministry and membership, will take a deep interest in this enterprise, and give it their hearty support. 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 advance and when the Paper is sent to one address, a discount ot 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 issistin procuring as many subscribers as possi ble, and forward the names, by August 1st, to this Ouicc. As soon as 1500 subscribers are obtained, the first number will be issued. If a faithful and vigorous effort is made in the next two months by those Hbo take a lively interest n 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.

He kept up a peart dodgin under, sometimes they'd hit him and sometimes they woud hit the water, and the ifcter was kivered with drowned hornet. - V : ; . ; . . , yfutn-TarfMiri.-TP dmn timr. qaur Dont (dip) yon see these infernal varm ints (dip) onto me?'
