- u. -3 THE N0UT1L CAROLINIAN. P. r. SINCLAIR. Editor.-. PAYSTTEVILIiE, C. SATURDAY. NOVEMBER 17. OUR LEGISLATURE. The NorvU Carolina legislature moots on next Monday. This will be tho most important session Ynce our government hs been instituted, and to its deliberations, the eyes of our people are now di rected. The question of Recession will doubtless be up in all its bearings, and the momentous inquiry ; Shall we submit, or shall we secede f will be decided by fre Mat To our representative.-', ev-n before a convention of the people can be called, for should they pass a law favoring a Convention, there is but little doubt in our mind, but that secession wilj follow, uqless the Abolition States of the North shall repeal their laws nulifying the Fugitiye SJave Law of the United Stales. It becomes us to consider this question i houghtfully and seriously ii all its hearings, .and to ask ourst-Jves whut injury will the mere electiofi j a of Lincoln ai.-coui.iih ? and what are the dangers anJ trials of a revolution, if you please, or a secession, to bring upon the people of lh South. V"e shall endeavor to discuss this question devoid of partizanship, and with all the evidence that jt is PiSfeible fr us to bring before our people, What i;'jur can tin; mere elesUon of Lincoln ac complish ? Can he do an3-thi:ig with a majority ag un&t him in the lower and upper Houses of Con gress and iiiaj.irity of the judges of tlie Supreipe Com t ?

What ''Overt Act" is it that is deemed necessary to be a sufficient cause for a dissolution of the Union? Is it that the fugitive slave law be abolished?

The " mmmmm-mmmmmmmmmmmmmm North is not herself prepared lor it, because her sup ply of Cotton would be materially decreased. 1 he attempt will b made in the border States, to make slave property insecure, and the lives of its owners insecure, and the result will be, that North CarOr linians will be but too glad to sell at any price.

It is objected that there has not been oauso sufr ficient fur the South to act ! To this w) answer, if the election of a President by the Korth upon a dis tinctive and clear sectional issue of the final abolition of slavery, be not sufficient to show you that a mar jority of the people having power, have distinctly pronounced to you their line of policy, and that pol- icy the reduction of tho wealth of your citizens to mere pi ttance, and the spoliation of your proper- ty ; if the commission of aU tins be not cause sufr fictent, then the first step to accomplish it, of course, is not ; but if the accomplishment of this be cause enough, we take it that the first step is al-o.

Under the existing State of the nation it is our opinion that Conventions of the people without re spect to party be held in each Congressional district in the State, to express the sentiments of the peo ple upon the questions that absorb the attention of the whole nation.

France has interfered to. preyeut a bQmb.arujcnt of the Sardinian fleet. Lord Dundonald is dead. France'was m iking formidable naval preparations. Some writers construe this, and a recent council of war, held at St. Cloud, as palpable indications of a campaign. The Emperor on the 31st reviewed 20,000 men near Paris. All were bivouacking and going through the regular prorcedi.-.gs of a campaign. At Naples on the 27th, a Sardinian flotilla con nonaded the Royalists near Gacta, but the French Admiral sent a liigate to order the Sardinian Admi ral to stop firing. Admiral Pcrsano returned to Naples expressing regret at the conduct of the French. It is denied that Austria will send her ultima tum to Tbrin. Ou the contrarj', she has reiterated the assurance that she will only carry out a purely defensive policy. Count Keichbcrg had given an explanation to tho Diplomatic Corps relative to the Warsaw meeting. Austria has put the following questions to Rus sia : Will your government recognize the facts which have been or may be accomplished in Italy V Should Austria bc attacked by Sardinia, and the latter supported by another great power, what would be their attitude, in the event of another war, and its being transferred to German Territory ? The ioumals are unanimous in pronouncing the mJ Warsaw Conference a failure. Marshal Adounall in the Spanish courts has reite rated that Spain wUl rcmaii. neutial in the affairs of Italy.

There was much speculation in the Englieh pap ers about the abrupt termination of the Warsaw Conference. The Times insists that it was owing to th:-? impossibility of . agreement upon many antagon istic elements of Cenference. The Neapolitan Royalists had made another attack upon Garibaldi's forces between Tcsanoand Scssa but were repulsed with considerable loss. Garibaldi made many prisoners. Victor Emanuel had arrived at Sessa, and held an interview with Garibaldi. Arrangement were being made for one grand de cisive battle. Austria explains the cause of hcr immense arm aments.

It was read amidst pthunders of applause. , Everybody; endorses its pat riotic sentiments. The Governor is for, resistance, atS all hazards, to Black Republican rule. Our streets present a lively appearance. The town is brimful of patriotism and Blue Cockades. Senator Toombs has sent his resignation into the Legisla ture, and declares himself in favor of immediate secession. He also urges the union of Georgia with South Carolina. From the mountains to the sea board there is but one feeling, and that is resistance to Lincoln's election. The masses are fully aroused and are emphatically for action glorious, God-like action ! Upon the reception of the above news at Charles ton, a salute of one hundred guns was fired on the Citadel Green. It is denominated as glorious from the "Empire State of the South."

It is now probable that the President will soon issue an address or proclamation, as the election of dele gates to the South Carolina convention is to take place at an earlier day than was recently anticipat ed, and as, in consequence, there would not be suf ficient time for the general circulation of an appeal through the .f resident s annual message, as origin ally contemplated. This subject was to-night un der consideratiod. . It is understood that Corwin, of Ohio, can, if he will, occupy a prominent position in Mr. Lincoln's cabinet; und in the event of his declining to do so, an invitation will be extended to Mr. Ewiug or Mr. Vinton, of the same State. Messrs. Graham and Badgc, of North Carolina, are also confidently mentioned in this connection.

We have been placed in possession ol the out lines ct a strange storj', which has almost too much Munchausen about it to seem true, yet we are in formed that it is substantally correct In the sum mer of 1853, John Hardwick, a poor meehanic of Pittsburg, was induced by the gold excitement then raging to try his luck in the mines of California. He accordingly left his wife and two children be hind and took passage around the Horn for Eldo rods. On arriving there his money had given out, and he was obliged to go to work at a mere pit tance to keep from starving. .He made his way, however, as fast as he could, and have entered in to partnership with another man, commenced the I working of a claim. Hardwick pospered, and be gan to think that at the end of the year he would be able to go home with a large pile of dust Hu man calculations are sometimes wrong. Mr. Hard wick's calculations were wrong for he was taken sick and came near death's door. When he got well his partner had departed and token with him the earnings of both. 'The poor man was discouraged. lie tyad been away from home eijrhteen months, arid had sent nothinsr back to his family. .. lie wrote to his wife, -giving her a true statement of his condition. She never received J l"er, and consequently he never received any letters from her. Hardwick went to work again, bat the times grew hard, and h e earned but little. He frequently wrote to his wife, but she, steange to say, never received a single line from him. It is needless to go through every particular of his his tory suffice it to say, that hearing nothing from wife,ie concluded that she was glad to get rid of him, and would not trouble herself to write to him. He therefore determined to star in California till he was rich, and then return to tho Atlantic States. Ue set himselt to worK assiduously and made money. His business relations were such, after a few years, that he could not leave California, but stayed and accumulated a handsome fortune. In the" meantime, Mrs. Hardwick, thinking her hus band was dead, after three years, married another and emigrated to at. .Lotus. Her name became Mathews. Her two children, of whom John Hard wick was father, died, and traces of John were obli terated, except from a very remote corner of her heart Mrs. Mathews was a good wife to her second husband, so far as we can learn, and bore him two children. Mathews was In the groeerytrade, and throvejwell, but about a year ago ho was tke'n sick with a fever and died, leaving Mrs. Mathews and the ohlidren without a protector, as sho thought, but with a snug income. John Hardwick, tired of California life, and tired of business, also, collected together his effects, which amounted to a nice fortune, and started for home by the overland route. He arrived in this city two weeks ago, and remained a few days to rest before taking the oars for Pittsburg. One morning, while walking through Broadway market, Mr. Hardwick saw a familiar fare. It was the first familiar face he ha d left San Eraneisco and that face belonged to a woman. He quickened his pace, and came up to astall whore the lady was about to purchase a beefsteake. Mr. Hardwick's heart beat wildly be neath his waistcoat. Could it be possible "What should Jane be doing in St Louis ?" thought he. He was about to tirVn away when- the lady mi&el her head, and their eyes met. " John Hardwick, ax sure as I am living !" exclaimed she. " Jane, is it you '." said John. It proved to be both of them, and after mutual explanations, Mr, Hardwick accompa nied the lady home, carrying her market basket for her. Two children met them at the door. Thcv were blue-eyed and roy cheeked but like those John had left behind, and just as large but they did not have features like John's. " What matters it," thought our hero ' my two children are dead, and these are sent to take tbcir places I will bf a father to them." Mr. John Hardwick was as good as his word. lie helped Mrs. Mathews formerly Mrs. Hardwick, and destined to be again to dispose of her property ; then calling a clergyman, they bad the matrimonial link tied ngun strong and fast. In two days they started for the East, where, wc hope in Pittsburg, or some other delightful town, they are enjoying at the meridian of life, another honey moon as pleasant as the firsj.
