EDWARD GRAHAM HAYWOOD, We have seldom listened to a better, more logical and highly argumentative address than that delivered by this gentleman on the evening of the 22d inst., in the Fayetteville HalL He gave the whole history of the compromise of our present ! Constitution, which is now attempted to be destroyed by the opposition showing conclusively, that its destruction would bring upon both East and West, consequences of the most humiliating nature ; not only would it injure both as far -as the pecuniary j weight and power in legislature is concerned, but it ' would also stir up the bitterest hatred between both! sections of our State, which an age would not alleviate and could never be entirely,. removed- -H,e proved conclusively, that sjave pppertyyu i ' audradiof .the i xi4V; jii trTTotection which it required, would be to seriously impare our State's growth and pros. perity; besides to impoverish landholders, by throw ing land into the market as almost worthless. and thereby reducing the value of real estate. We are confident that some few ad valorem men, who belong to the Opposition, were satisfied that Mr Haywood knocked ad valorem '-into a cocked hat." We heard of a few, who said, th .t they were in a doubtful position before, but the address of Mr. Hay" wood satisfied and confirmed them in complete antag onist.! to the whole thing. We look forward with interest to next summer, wheu Mr. Haywood will again be heard by our citi z ns, and are confident he can not come too soon or 400 often. Cold Weather. The reason of the cold weather for the past few days is owing to the f ict that Reu ben Jones has filled the ice house with the best- quality of Northern ice. We expect to keep ''cold as a corpse" this summer, by the influence of Reu- ben's ice. THE CHURCH INTELLIGENCER.

This not satisfying their ambition, they have dug down in the earth until they have found a bed of gold or that which seems like it. The oil fever in Beaver county is still on the increase, and people are going wild about the new speculation. A gentleman from Harmony, informs the New Brighton Times that on Yellow Creek, near Harmony, every spot where oil was supposed to exist has been bought up ; he says one company on Slippery Rock are making about two barrels per day, and that in boring they went through a ten inch vein of lead, and something also which some supposed to be gold ; some of which has been sent to Philadelphia for examination. We shall soon have a system of equal and just taxation on all kinds of prope'ty, and the towns of Wilmington, Xewbern, and Morehead City, offer fine fields for ihe profitable employment of mercan- tile capital.

The Favorite Weekly. The forty-third number of the Southern Field and Fireside, issued yesterday, deserves especial notice, lor the several mtersting ana weu written articles it contains. Ine first page opens with a "Mountain Bugle Song for Battle," by Wm. Gil more Simms ; followed by a well-aimed " Arrow" from a Tourists Quiver, dated from Chattanooga. On tne second page, we are pleased to find con tributions from three of our favorite lady -writers, Mrs. Mary E. Bryan, Miss Anna S. Blount, and 'Louise Manhieui" (quae est?) contributions, too that would reflect the highest credit upon any jour nal in our country. We refer to"Mabe, the Crazy Girl," "The Dead Daj-," and the cirticism upon "Beulah." We also notice the first of a series of ai tides enticed "The Whittington Club ; or, Dia lo gues upon Literature, with special reference to current publications," in which it will be the wri ter's purpose to enliven his comments upon books, by presenting the natural, unstudied action of dif ferent minds, exercised upon similar topics.

An Honest Democat. "When General Jackson was President of the United States, " said an ap-ed laborer in the Presi- dential garden a few years since, "he could tell an honest man from a rogue when he first saw him I remember that a clergyman with a stiff, white choker and an untarnishsd suit of black, called upon him one morning when he was overlooking some work that I was performing in the garden, and requested an appointment to some office, say ing, General I worked harder for your election than many of those upon whom 3rou have already besto wed office ' 'You are a minister of the Gospel .?' said old Hickory inquiringly. 'Yes,' said the clergyman,' I was a minister but I thonght I could do better by becoming a politician. So I stumped tiie district week days for you and preached for the Lord Sundn3's. Old IIickoryr turning short toward him, and looking him in the face, said, "By the Enternal, if you would c heat the Lord you would cheat the country, I will hive nothing to do with 3 011 nor with an3T like you. Good morning,' and he walked rapidly away. I never shall forget the looks of that hypocritical clergyman. Had the last judgment been set, and he before the great white throne, 1 doubt if lie would have lookod hicjk bhrck and chop-fallen." y Phemati-i:e Funeral Tna Coffin is smashed and the CoitrsE Cojies to Life. A singular affair occurred 3Testerdu3r at the negro settlement known as Hog-Neck, near the Rocky River Plank Road, some six miles from this city. An old negro named Jacob Sanders and who was familiarly known as Old Jakey, died (apparently) late on Sunday night, and 3esterday afternoon his body was put in a rough pine coffin, which was placed in a wagon, and .the procession an unusually large one moved towards the crave. While on the way the horse attached j. Al " t ,, re . , c , to the wagon containing the coffin took fnght and broke into a mad run. upsetting the wagon and throwing the coffin out. It rolled down a small hill, being badlcd smashed on its way. The mourners rushed to the spot and were vastly amazed to see Old Jakey rising from among the ruins of his coffin and starting stupedly around. His inky black face, snow white wool and white shroud formed a startling picture, turning the amazement of the color ed mourners into fright, and they all took wildly to their heels. . Those who have seen Mr. T. D. Rice, as the Virginia Mummy, can form a faint idea of the serio-comic tableau. As soon as Old Jakey recovered his scattered senses, he lay down upon the ground and yelled lustily fur the mourners to come back. They came at length, cautiously one by one and the old fellow was carried home. He was very well this morning and don't intend to die for some time yet He had been ailing for several days and on Sunday" night he apparently stopped breathing, his limbs became stiff and his body cold. His under jaw fell and his eyes sank far into his head. He lay so all night and through the day; u) to the time, in fact, when the wagon upset, and his friends had good rea son to sujipose him a dead man. The shock of the upset evidently resuscitated him, and had it not oc curred, poor Old Jakey would now doubtless be under the sod. He is nearly seventy years old and was formerly a slave in Tennessee. Cleveland Plaindealer. Cure for Htdrophobia. Some time ago a state ment appeared in all the journals that ten persons had been bitten by a mad dog at Authon (Eure et Loire.) The Journal of Chartres now announces the death of the fourth victim, a little girl who had appeared quite well till three or four days back, when the dreadful malady appeared, and carried her off in a few hours. The six other persons bitten, seem to be out of all danger. The same paper then proceeds to say: "Forty years ago three persons of that village were bitteu by a mad dog. Two of them applied to a man who was said to possess an infallible cure for hydrophobia, handed down from father to son for several generations . They both got well, while the third, who applied to a regular prac titioner, died a few days after. This fact was universally known in the country round, and when the last sad aflair occurred, six of the persons bitten applied to the son of the empiric, who now possesses his father's secret, the other four being treated by professional men. The" result is that the six survi vors are those who had recourse to the secret remedy, while the four who died were treated by thefaculty We carnot explain these facts, but we can guarantee their authenticity." j -r-t ULeutUCky" Hugsinsf Match. & Ur named J.

NEL SON'S BILL FOR ITS SUPPRESSION. Washington, March 14. Polygamy in Utah is at last presented in the nice solution of a partyr ques tion before Congress. The bill of Mr Nelson, of Tennessee, (Southern opposition man,) reported from the Judiciary Committee to-day, for the sup pression of the Mormon nuisance of licentiousness, brings up the question of the jurisdiction of Congress over the Territories in a veiy interesting shape ; and from the objection of Mr Houston, of Alabama, to the immediate passage of this b.U, we. perceive that he, as a Southern man, discovered at once that it was a Trojan-horse against the institution of slavery in the Territories. If Congress can abolish polyga my in Utah, can it not abolish slavery in New Mexico ? If we grant the power over the one subject we must concede it over the other. . We may, there fore, expect the unbroken vote of the Southern De mocracy against this bill for the. suppression of pol3rgamy when it again comes up, but doubtless the bill wjil be passed over their objections by a large majority. It will go to the Sen.te, and there it will most pro , 1 a,d.

Thus, the Republican programme o" hostility ' to those t win relics of barbarism polygamy and slave ry" will assume, in ISO, a much more definite shape upon both questions than it assumed in 1835, aud that polygamy especially is to be made a mutual concomitant of slavery in the Territories MuRDEitRD. Many of our readers in Wilson and Edsrecoinbe counties will be pained to learn that Dr. i W. J. Shalliugton, recently of Wilson, was mnrder- j ed r fcw Qn a running on White river, Arkansas. Dr. bhalungton was in Wilson a few weeks since on a visit, having left his family at their new home in Independence Co., Ark., and it is supposed that he was returning home when he was murdered. The circumstances are these: Tho Doctor very imprudently remarked, iu the hearing of the murderers, that ho had, in his pocket, $3,200. At night two mn entered his berth, mur dered him and took his money, throwing the body overboard. Soon after this the boat stopped at a landing and the two men crot off, but the boat had not cone far before the murder was found out, and the boat waa nut back to the landing where one of the assassins was arrested, having in his possession some articles belonrinr to Dr. S. that were identi fied.

"Now is the time for a young man to distinguish himself in our beloved Republic. Let him fix his gaze steadily on, the 'Banner of the Union,' and fight on : fight ever,, in its glorious defence. For myself, I may now be considered as descending into the vale of years; but,.hereT I declare to you that whatever may be left to me of vigor or of intellect, I am prepared at a moment's call to embark the whole iu the great struggle which is now at hand and upon the issue of which depends the fate of our institutions and our homes. The Constitution must be preserved in its entirety, and he who attempts to violate its sacred precepts, or any one of them, is an enemy to his country, and (as he has sworn to observe it), a reviler of. his God...

' Even the stiff Egypt ian head-dress was adhered to, bat bad been softened inta a rich feminine adornment, with out losing a particle of its truth. Difficulties that might well have seemed insurmountable had been courageously encountered and made flex ible to the purposes of grace and dignity; so that Cleopatra sat attired in a garb proper to her historic and queenly state, as a daughter of the Ptolomies, and yet such as the beautiful wo man wonld have put on as best adapted to heighten the magnificence of her charms and kindle a tropic fire in the cold eyes of Octavius. A marvellous repose that rare merit in statu ary, except it be the lumpish repose native to the block of stone was diffused throughout the figure. The spectator felt that Cleopatra had sunk down out of the fever and turmoil of her life, and for one instant as it were, between two pulse-thorbs had relinquished all activity, and was resting throughout . every vein aud muscle. It was the repose of despair, indeed; for Octavius bad seen her, and remained in sensible to her enchantments. But still there was a great smouldering furnancedeep down in the woman's heart. The repose, no doubt, was us complete'as if she were never to stir hand or foot again; and yet, such was the creature's latent euergy and fierceness, she might spring upou you like a tigress, and stop the very breath that you were now drawing midway in your heart. The face was a miraculous success. The sculptor lrad not shunned to give the full, Nub ian lips, aud other characteristics of the Egypt ian physiognomy. His courage and integrity had been abudantly rewarded; for Cleopatra's beauty shone out richer, warmer, more triump hantly beyond comparison than if, shrinking timidly from the truth, he had chosen the tame Grecian type. The expression was of profound. gioomy, neavwy-revoiviug iltQ her t ,ife an(j en her irit gatnered itself llp 1 gloomy, heavily-revolviug thought; a glance t emergencies, while for some new strug gle, or was getting sternly reconciled to im pending doom.

"What a woman in this!" exclaimed Miriam, after a long pause. "Tell me, did she ever try, eveu while you were creating her, to overcome you with her fury or her love? 'Were you not afraid to touch her,, as she grew more and more towards hot life beneath your hand? My dear friend, it is a great work!

A letter to the New York Courier, from San Francisco, says : "Gen. Kibbe, on behalf of him self and his volunteers, has come before the Legis lature with a hill of $70,000 for his heroic exploits in killing Indians. The Legislature proposes to pay it by issuing bonds for the amount, which bonds are to be presented as claims against the L. S. Treasury. Though not one white m in has been killed in the whole of the pretended battles with the Indians, it is boasted by parties that 2,000 Indians, have been killed within ten mouths. It but a ds to the horror of the narrative to refer to the fact that the defenceless creatures are hunted like wolves in their native woods, and are butchered like sheep in a fold when they seek the mercy of their captors. ' As soon as these accounts are audited here, they will be sent to Congress for payment. Before vot ing upon these claims,' says the Courier's corres pondent, "I hope members will read the reports of Geu. Clarke, Lieut.- Dillon, Capt. Flint, and Major Johnson. If wholesale murder is to be paid for, if a bounty is o be set upon ferocity, treachery, and brutalify, which degrade white men below the level of the fiercest savages, let the money be voted ; but otherwise, not a dollar should be bestowed." Supposed to be Killed. As the mail train was coming up from Weldon yesterday evening, a man is supposed to have been killed in the following manner : The train was approaching- Tar River bridge, when the engineer saw a man on the oppo site end, bnt, of course, thought he would -get off nciore toe tram reacned Inm- Instead of getting off however, the mau stepped to one side, and backed himself up against the railing, or wall of the bridge, supposing that the train would miss him ; but, un fortunately for hi n, his -head 'was struck by the mail coach, and it is. supposed that he was instantly killed.

ProDer machinery and fixtures have already been put up, but the de ranged state of the national finances prevented the appropriation of the necesaary iunda required. (03 actual operations. Next door to the Fayetteville Hotel we noticed preparations made for extensive building operations the materials being o the ground and workmen, busily engaged. W understand that the new," buildings will be appropriated to banking and busi ness purposes. " , By the way, we are envious of Fayetteville on ac-. eout of her fine hotel building. Without wishing; to deprive our neighbors of what is justly theirs, we do wish sincerely that we here in Wilmington had. a similar building. We will also say in justice, to. Mr. Waddill that so far as we could judge, the house is kept in a manner that leaves nothing fur ther to be desired Indeed, we heard all the hotels in Fayetteville highly gpokea f, We speak of th Fayetteville from our own knowledge. . We publish elsewhere the report of the proceed ings of the Convention, We think that the proper, course has been pursued by the Democratic- Slate, Convention and the different district Cataventions in North Carolina in leaving their delegates untram melled and free to act according to their conscien--tious convictions, for the greatest-good to tho coww try and the party. The resolution in regard to Hon.. Warren Winslow is a proper acknowWdgutBfr ofi a flattering preference expressed for a distinguished citizen of our ouw State and district. So far as we. know anything about the delegates chosen from thjft. State, they will go to Charleston unpledged not as, this man's man, or that man's man, but as Demor. erats ; sucn at least is our understanding of the wishes of the party in the State, and the duties of those entrusted with the representation of its views jtSftr!eo. .
