Hence the Roman believed himself a true de scendant of .Venus and Mars; he thought his nation to be thedarliug of Jupiter, and the special delight of all tbe gods. Often was Eome on the brink of ruin, totering on the verge of annihilation, but she never despaired, the rememberance f Max and Venus, the virtue of n?noaa and the nurturing wolf nerved her to the combat. These early traditions shaped her destiny, moulded her lorm aud determined the energy of her enterprises j upon this fabulous history the seven hilled city rested the beams of her foundation, npon the same inward spirit Hortensius and Tully relied for the effects of their inimitable olnnnanra and Camillus urged tto nmmifl to Jneas as the ! nearer and laying his pipe most affective appeal to his soldiers ' stock-hole, he began as follows : when the fate of .

To show and prove the theory, we will bring forward tacts. Through ail this portion of "North Carolina, it is universally admitted to be a sign of some misfortune, if chickens crow upon the roost in the dusk of evening. Many years ago we were romping with several other children in the waning daylight, when . suddenly-my old uncle bid us stop in stantly and-como in $ we with one accord begged to know why, and were intormea tnac tne cmc&ens were crowing and that something was about to happen. Alarmed at tbe intelligence we ran in and huddled round the; fire, but our cariosity was aroused as well as our fears, and we requested the kind old man to tell us how it was first found out, and how the chickens knew more about such things than men did. ; Drawing his chair a little his pipe in the For th Patriot, j Shall the Farmers Organize T You say, perhaps, the Grange movement is a good thing ; but you don't see any necessity! for it in your old country. t .'

Greensboro, Jan. 1st, 18T4. Jan. 7, ly. oue hundred and twenty miles in a day, and next morning out ran an Indiau tjbief." Thus is it, our people cry out against a name and pursue the sub stance. No people are fonder of the fabulous than we, noue delight more to hear the stones anu legenus of other days, none believe them more readily or search for them with more avidity. We all have a few great exploits handed down from ur ancestors, all can tell a few daring adventures and hair breath escapes, and all have the most implicit confidence in our own narrations. This is very natural. History has inscribed upon her re cords no nation, that has not a fabulous period; all ancient and modern people have had their heroes and lieroic times, their myths and fables, their times when meu were greater than any of their descend auts, their dark periods of adversity when wen's souls were tried. To the curious, the philosophic11, the student of nature, or the gen eral reader no species of Literature is more interesting than this ; it is a fair index of the people in their infancy, it is an exhibition of their unsophisticated self, an earnest of all that we may look for in their future career. .Nations are not more different in government, laws, and religion.-than in their fabulous his- torv,and if anything prophetic isin ivoived in a people's progress it may be found in their fabulous preten sions. The Chinese, the oldest na tion upon earth are taught that their nation has existed from crea tion's morn, that the Omnipotent established their government and made the royal family of better materials than the common people, and they firmly believe that their first king held direct .communica tion with the Deity. These are simple, perhaps some weuid say, temple of Theseus, the OrfeOn and the 1 ariuenon 01 - pmo x t"""u" were but dim emblems of Grecian aspiration. But why so different from the Roman 1 their origin was not dissimilar, their position iu the same vicinity, their climate nearly the same. We auswer that their fabulous history was very different, and that this is the great shaping instrument in the infancy of a na tion. The Greeks believed tbey were under the special protection of Minerva, who fpraug fnll grown and well armed from Jupiter's head ; Minerva was a virgin Goddess that presided over the arts, sciences, arms, honors and every thing high and noble ; they were taught that aim had defended them in their early days, that the state prospered as sne was honored and her favorite pursuits cherished ; and that should they turn to the ways of selfishness, she would abandon them. These myths were the effective directors of their pursuits, the unseeu in fluence that made Greece the land of heroes, eloquence and song; that tuned the lyre of Ilomer ; nerved tliQ heart of Achilles and thundered Fhillippics from the Bema. Nearly all nations have been ionuded,apparently by chance; the founders bad no idea of the work they were accomplishing ; they were fugitives, out-laws, dar ing adventurers, or Quixotic heroes in search of exploit ; such founders have generally been renowned for something, 44 mighty hunters,", like Nimrod; inventors ot alphabets like Cadmus; bold aggressors as William the Norman ; or sectarians like our pilgrim fathers, in a few years their deeds have been mag nified, and a thousand incidents added until thereis a nucleus of Fabulous history; and the char acter of that history will depend Kfh nnon thft character of the ' , founder and the genius of those who settlers within twenty miles except three familes and they were within two miles. . We had no mills nor meeting honses, nor any thing ex cept four log cabin 8, a few horses, cows, hogs, &c About the middle ot the neighborhood we made a large pile of wood, with the agree ment that whenever the Indians should be seen in or about the set tlement, : that whoever saw them should as soon as possible set fire to the pile as a warning to all. This little precaution having been takeu, all went to work to clear fields, build stables and arrange whatever might be necessary. Things had thus progressed for more than eighteen mouths, when my brother in passing near the pile met a strange white man, who seemed Very friendly and asked a great many questions,-, but would give no accouut of himself as to his name or destination, xne occur rence was scon known over the neighborhood and occasioned con siderable uueasiness, and the same evening it was particularly noticed that the chickens crowed upon the roost throughout the settlement. About an hour after dark my sister ran into the house with the terrfble news that the pile was on fiie ; in ateintlv all the doors were bolted and propped and i my father took fv,-;.. in (mn 111 ftrnpr fA fifA. school districts all the way up to the Treasury department at Wash ingtonDon't organize.

If these working people are per mitted to take time enough from their work to read a little and think a little and meet once or twice a month in the " Grange" and talk over what they have learned about the farm, tlie market, and the pub lie ofiices, aud learn to act in con cert, iu buying and selliug, it wont be louc uutil they will be able to educate their sons, and daughters who sire to be farmers' wives, as thoroughly as lawyers teachers, or preachers are. j They will soon be building neat and comfortable houses and barns. They will soon be seert wearing bet ter clothes, driviug Jgood horses, and riding in good carnages. They will sbou hurl robbers, purjurere, thieves and back grab takers from office and put honest 1 men in their places.

Prior to this time houses had latches ou the out of others to something near a work- in tr hasiR. Thev will asitate and agitate until they work retrench ment and reform all the way up from the school district to the very dome of the Capitol at Washington. They will dignify; labor until they make it not only u honorable and respectable but as pioG table as the Side, but they were nof placed with- 'fessioD8 or offices, j i itU n t,rinir ufaiMf(l HI OrtlPr I r . i- i in with a string aftaclied, iu order that tbe inmates might be appraised if an enemy secretly attempted to to erain admission. During all that night we kept watch but no Indian was heard ; in the morning search was made but no enemy could be found ; a deep calamity, however, had fallen uoon the neighborhood : Mrs. Mary Barker, the wife of one j of the settlers was gone; not a vestige of her departure could be obtained. In the early part of the nicrht she was with her hns Dana in . . Til! working people must not be permitted to know how things are carried on at Washington city, Raleigh, Greensboro, Jefferson city, Harrisouville, or they will keep up this agitation until tey teach office iidAra that " honestv is the best policy" and that they (the office holders) are their 1 servants not their masters. P. C. H. Harrisonville, Mo. l 1, a tableau exhibition in An out the approval of, the voice of tbe party as expressed in its proper convention, is something which; I am sure no . man who -knows me would ever believe of. me. I am sore yoa "know me too well to harbor such an ungenerous suspicion of me for one moment. X10, sir ; l am not even an aspirant for the nomination of the convention. I have not the vanity to think that tbave any pe culiar fitness' for Congress, and I think it would be very immodest in me to think or say that I was the man for that high position. I do not feel that my party owes me anything, and I have always pro nnftnd to do what I COUld for ; the party ,without looking for or expect ing any selfish reward ; and though I have always bbeyed;the summons to the fight, I have never yet gath ered "with the camp followers when the battle was over to strip the slain and divide the spoils. It is true, sir, that upon a proper occasion I might remember, like Othello, that .I had done the State some service,' and how. "when a -bearded and a tnrbaned Turk smote : a Venetian, I caught the nncircumcised. dog by the beard, and smote him thus' Rnr. it i notime td talk of such things, when' spoils fare to bej di vided ; besides what 1 01a x aiuor my party, because Lj believed that the interest of my party was thejin-tArpat-. of mv conntrv.

Let those who think it con sistent with modesty and self-respect, become independent candi dates for Congress, solicit the nom nation of conventions, or prompt their friends to put their names for-ward-but I will do none of these things. I know that my namtfhas been mentioned in connection with the nomination, but not by me, I nor any one prompted or solicited; by me, norshalkit ever be. If such an honor were to come unsought, of course I, or any other man, would bo deeply grateful tor it ; but to blow my own trumpet, or work the wires to get it, would involve such a loss of self-respect as a seat in Con gress could not compensate for I have written this letter in haste, in reply to yours just received, ana and dissemination of the written WordiT J The American Bible Society, fos- t tered and watched over as its Agent a v- n 1 i i! a ; uy luo uaurcu tu America, naa mui erto proved faithful to its great Mission, has been most abundant in useful labors, and is now engaged in operations of immense extent and importance ; and I cannot but hope , that its representative in this good old State will continue to meet with a cordial reception from every class, and that the.

The people believing their government eternal, look with contempt upon all other nations as upstarts aud mushroom pretenders ; believing that God es tablished them, they think he cer tainly gave them the proper form ot religion, hence they treat our mis sionaries as demagogues, fool or hypocrits; thinking their kings to be a superior race, they adore them as aoove numauiiy, uuc,t iucu tviannio mandates with slavish servility, and worship them as gods. From the influence of these little traditions the people are improvi dent, unambitious, self-conceited, ignorant, corrupted, and almost be yond recovery.
