The Washington Union makes an extract (which will be found below) from the report of 1. -W. tourts, Esq., Treasurer of the State of North Carolina, to the last Legislature of the State upon its finances. That paper thus complimentary al ludes to the credit of the old North State: "There is no State of our Union whose credit ias stood firmer in the late financial crisis than N-orth Carolina. The bonds, whenever offered, hav commanded a higher price than those of the neighboring States. With the interest payable semi-anMually in New York, which is always ready at the day, and a sinking fund to redeem the prin cipal when duo, these bonds are justly considered among the safest investment of the country." The above.paragraph, though a compliment, is yet in deed, and in truth, a fixed fact. W hatever may be wtid of hr tardiness in th march of im provements, North Carolina is not a whit behind the most nroinnt viavinir State in the Union. Her v , t i Cl edit is not excelled by any. While there are maL v of her sisters which -can boast of Railroads withou end, and of other varied improvements of which she' has as yet scarcely dreamed, aye, and she mnv be drained of her trade, on her right hand and on her lei": J'et her honds are of the highest srrade thrown iu the trading world. And long may her character illis respect be sustained by her people and their J gislators. .' Below is the extract t. -m Treasurer Courts' re port as referred to by the Cr'ion: "-' "But I will take this occasion to say thnt, having been for several years connected with the finances of the State, and charged witn tne re sponsibilitv of meeting from time tv t.'nie, the de mands against her, 1 .suppose my opportunities have been as good as those of any otlit r person for collecting the sentiments of our people upon the subject of our State credit and the degree tt im portance which they attach to the necessity of upholding it; and I think I do not pay them an I "Bank of Ciiarlotte, N. C." As there appears to be some doubt, publicly ex pressed concerning the solvency of the Bank of Charlotte, in this State, it is but due to our readers to lay before them the articles of the Petersburg Expressi on which are founded this doubt. If the notes of that Bank are not good we presume it will be made known by next week from fountain bead. Below are the' articles alluded to: From the Petersburg Express of Sept 1st. "A sudden flash of unanticipated excitement agitated the holders of Charlotte. N. C, bank paper, on change and elsewhere, yesterday. The slight panic was thought to hare been the result only of an unexpected depreciation of funds on the bank of Charlotte f a supposition which seemed to be both explained and dispelled by the following from theFinancial report of the Baltimore Patroit: Some days since, at the request of Messers. Johnston & Bros., xe pu blished a statement to the effect that they had protested the Bank of Charlotte, N. C, for refusing to pay coin on $28,000 of its notes, held by them. To-day we have received from Messers. Johnston & Bros, the following note: "Will you have the kindness to call attention to this notice and state that at the time of the protest the Bank was still in a state of su spension, but has since redeemed its obligations to us in coin, and that its standing and credit will compare favorably with any other North Carolina Banks," This most agreeable exposition was not long the master of the doubt, however, for while holders of the unsafe funds were becoming jubilant, intelligence from a most reliable source, was received and rapidly disseminated through the city.that the bank of Chariot te had now bat $12,000 in specie to asset liabilities to the amount of S200, 0001 The statement was received at Weldon, from whom well posted parties, and the above from Baltimore exchange, instead of sustaining its assumption seems now rather to throw ominously forward a token in favor of the latter Unpleasant announcement. Still we would not refrain from doubting; the reports are not altogether official enough, and knowing the immense amount of Charlotte, to gether with other N. C. money, current in Petersburg, we would not advise a sacrifice by any means on the part of those who may have Charlotte funds ' From the Express of Sept 2nd. "The Western Democrat, publishedin Char lotte, came to hand yesterday, bnt m ikes no mention of any developments having been mada there, touching the insolvency of the institution. It the reports concerning the Bank be untrue, the Board of Directors should iiumeditaely publish a statement of its condition. This is a duty the' owe the public. Its notes, represent- j mg thousands of dollars, have ever circulated freely in this community, and will continue to do so, if our citizens can be assured that the Bank is doing a reliable, legitimate bnsiness. Up to Tuesday not the shadow of a suspicion, that we are aware of, lurked in the minds of our citizens regarding this soundness of the Bank, and no money passed more . current in transactions of bargain and sale. It has been bankable in this city for some time post, nor has the issue of any other North Carolina Bank. A nd strange to say, we can go even further and add, that the issues of a great many Virginia Banks are not received on de posite or in payment of an obligation at aay Bank in Petersburg. This should not be so, but it is neTerthless true, as many of our merchants kuovv much to their aunoyunje and discomfort" 8hdul i darkey cutting his ova o his chil drenV Assnds.

Lot us see how this increase of about 29 per cent , during the last d-cennial period compares with that of the free colored ratfe. Up to 1830 the number of free blacks increased, but it was not by their natu ral progress in population, but by the then fash ionable eustom of manumission at the .South and the change in condition br the legislation in several of the Northern States abolishing slavery. .After 1830 we slionld look for thai increase due to the natural operations of vital and physical laws. 7be increase of the free blacks, which in 1830 was 34 percent in 1.U0 fell to something less than 21 per cent., and in the decennial period closing with 1850, was about I -J J per: ''coot. considerably less than one-half ihe per centage of advance of the slave population. We care not what the influences were which caused this decay and decadence of the race, whether it be the moral and intellectual inferi ority of the black, the successful competiou of white labor excluding him from profitable fields of employment, or the prejudices of color and caste reducing the negro iu the social scale, and taking from him the incentives of ambi tion and pride, the result is the same and the conclusion is irresistible. Freedom to the black is a heritage of woe him and his race of a fruit. "THE NEW ERA." ' This i a nearly printed Weekly, published at Xewbern- fn this State and seems to be quite an interesting paper.. We ought to have noticed its appearance befove this, but as it was inadvertently done one our part we hope that our brothers of the "Xevr Era-" will take our present notice as an offering of friendship. "The New Era" is Democratic in politics, and deserves the sttpport of the party. It is also a good general-news paper and therefore should have the support of persons without regard to party politics. Wecongratulate the twwn of Newborn, on having so valuable an acquisition to its midst as tbe jew Era. tTW It is stated that on the 25th ult., the citi zens of EHioottsville, New York, without distinc tion of party, burnt Gov.

"Accidentally Shot." The last Charlotte Democrat contains a sad ac count of the death of a Mr J. T. Cornell, of Ne w York, occasioned by the accidental discharge of hrs gun. The following is the Democrat's state ment: "A melancholy accident happened at the Reid Gold Mine, about 14 miles from Concord, on Wednesday, the 25th iust. Mr J. T. Cor nell, of Xew York, was found lying in his house with the top part of his head shot off and a donhle-haxrel cun across his body No one .!. . :,!

Mr Cornell was about 25 years old, and had been in this part of the State but three or four weeks. He brought a letter of introduction to a gentleman of this place which gave him a good Character. By his intelligence and gentlemanly deportment while here he had gained the confi dence and esteem of all who formed liis:acqnain't ance. We learn that another gentleman came near losing his life in the same way with the same gun. He was showing how the accident might have happened, wlien the remaining barrel Was discharged, the shot passing but & few inches above his head " "New York News." This Journal comes to us "Considerably enlarged And is one of the best papers in the Union. Per sons wishing to subscribe for a reliable New York paper can be accommodated by sending $6 for the Daily, or $1 50 for the Weekly News, per annum-. Address W. Drake Tarsons, No 133 Nassau Street, New York-. the attentive perusal of our readers. That paper takes a just view of the condition of the slave popu lation in the United States' and shows conclnshvely that they are in a far more happy state than they wouly be if sot free. The sentiments of the Acirs are worthy of all commendation, especially as they emanate from a Journal which breathes in a Northern atmosphere j a region which is hostile to the peculiar institu tion of the South and which contains a party -ever willing and ready to raise the cry in the Halls of Congress and elsewhere "dowu with it, down with it. even to the ground." It is astonishing that we can find so many men of practical sound sense in other matters entirely destitute of it when the slavery question is brought to the test. O.i pre senting this subject before them, they become as it were, like mad-men. There is no reasoning with such men as Horace Greely, Ward Beer.h or, Ger rit Smith, Garrison, Theodore Parker, and a :host of others of like character. Is it not a matter -of regret that the mnsses in the Northern States should be so much under their influence; and as long as this is so what can be expected but a do--termined hostility on the part of the North to our constitutional rights? What but a selfish dema gogueisin will find a congenial climo in their hot beds of abolitionism? The Democratic party North stands manfully to uphold the rights of the South in common with the doctrine of States' rights. They protest by their votes and speeches in Congress against -the interference of that body with our domestic institutions for the same reasons that they urge for non-interference with the insti tutions of their own States. We admire thflir bold ness and their truo patriotism for the South, for the North, and for the whole Union. So long as the influence of these men can be felt in the North ern States, we have no fear of the Republic, for she will be safe. The democratic Journal', too should be highly commended for their unyielding attachments to the Union for their unfaltering defence of the South and -her rights. They hay much to contend with, surrounded as they are by the pestiferous influences of abolitionism, free-soil-ism, and a vast number of other isms which con federate together to break down the Nati" ial dem ocratic party, on the success of which, we alone feel any human security for the -longer coutinaauoe and well-being of our common country. Among the Journals referred, we know of none more de voted to the rights of the South than the New York Daily and Weekly New. The following is the language of that paper in regard to the Negro population-. No Southerner who has been born and educated among us, could express themselves on the subject more to the purpose; '' rue tide of sympathy which was once felt pretty generally, even at the South, for the negro, as abstractly entitled to freedom, and that his condition as A slave was a hardship, begins to be wearing away. Tiie negro of the SOuth may have no greater political rights or privileges than he has in Brazil, Cuba, tr in his native Dahomey or 4shantee, bet he is physically, morally, and in every other view, in far better condition. They live, they fVw.ir trrow fat and toroo'a irate in Suite ot the'frowns of Garrison, Gerrit Smith, Theo dore Parker and Ward Beecher, t Coh Francis A Terry, democrat) formerly a citizen of Richmond county, in this State, has been recently elected a Senator in the Arkansas Legislature from the Metropolitan District of that ' tin a masters's throat, in the scale of negro I r v-t ; yi I State, Next to cut- ethics, according to the Garrisonian Gospel, ' or bad. a presentation to fair indeed to be hold and pleasant to the eyes of his fancy when inflamed b- the delusive and tempting lies of the abolitionists; but like that other fruit of mortal taste, bringing to him misery and want ana to nis race aegraaaiion, and hnal extinc tion. Such is the lesson of the figures of the several census enumerations of the population of the United States, and the comparison that can be made of the r. lative prj. teas o" the uiac-K rice as divided into the two classes of free and slave. So much for American slavery, On Ibe other hand we are told that not less than two hundred millions of Africans were imported in to the British West Indies during less than two hundred years and that only about 800, 000 were left at the period of the emancipation-. The decrease in Cuba is almost equally fright ful, and this is the consequence of the "competi tion which results from the existence of the slave trade. The master cannot aff.rd to look after the well being of the slave trade or to regard his comfort and health. The influx of new laborers depreciates the price of the old stock, and as a matter of economy the slaves are ill-fed and urrd to exertions greater t,!an they can War. The COnseqnences are obvious and the ratio of their consumption under the inflnenee of these depressing causes in Cuba and wherever else tbe immigration of fresh la-tmrera-exintot appalling. ' The annexation -ot Cuba to the United States in order that onr systeu may take the place of the present mise rable and inhuman one which prevails there should Rnfi support with every Government, and especially with England. That txovernmcnt is ratner disposed to Te sum3 her atrocious system of the forced depor tation of laborers in bringing the cooly and the sepoy to the West Indies, and making those islands bolgothas or the Asiatic, ns, in times past, they have been of the African, 'races. The American planter is a far better protector of those intrnsted to his care, than the British captain of the cooly ship, or the Spanish or Brazilian trader. It makes Ho dfference what things are called, bnt what they are Slavery is sometimes a blessing and neminal freedom a enrse, as we see in the case of 'the Southern and the Northern negro. The one, contented and well-fed: the other, degraded and poor.

If it is the negro whose condition is to tre alone considered, then let the people of Exeter llall learn, that this interesting type of humanity is wearing out in the torrid fields at Cuba at the rate of fifty pet cent in ten years; While iti the United States he is increasing at neary thirty per cent in the same period. English states men and tne English people believe infarcts, and trust to the veracity of figutes, and it is some what strange that they should Hot have compared, some of those which concern the condition of the negro bo Vitally as do these. We are willing: the slavery at the South should j be judged by its fruits, whether it be good, North Carolina. A letter from an in'e'- igent citizen of Asheville, Bqncombe county N.
