For the last ten days or two weeks
there has been great excitement manifes
ted on the subject of the volcanic and
earthquake premonitions in the mountains
of Western North Carolina as detailed by
reliable correspondents and others who
have either visited or live on the spot.
Some of our exchanges have given as
much as a column at different times to
the alarming subject ; and yet it has not
been exhausted and the interest has not
fagged. Bald Mountain, the ostensible
seat of the threaten d calamity, is situated
about 15 miles from Asheville, belongs to
the Blue Ridge range, and is several
hundred feet higher than the peaks im
mediately around it. Until the recent
subterraneous thunders and terrific shocks
were heard and felt, there was nothing'
remarkable in the appearance differing
from the surrounding knobs and peaks,
if we excapt the fact that snow has been
noticed for several yeais past to melt more
rapidly there than at other points. But
now the deep detonations and fearful
tremblings of the mountain are exciting
the wildest alarm. Children are awaken
ed from sleep in the stillness of night, and
sinners of the most obdurate and harden
ed kind are driven with fear and tremb
ling to the altars of the church. Prayer
meetings are in daily session and large
numbers are seeking forgivness aa the
surest remedy against the impending dan
ger. Large quantities of land on and a
round the mountain are for tale but there
is no one inclined to purchase. The
latest intelligence reports the excitement
as on the increase. The thunders arc
louder, the shocks more frequent, and
great fissures are rent at different places
from which smoke and steam issue forth.
The people and stock are fleeing in all di
rections ; yea, the smoke it is said, can be
seen from a great distance, and the lava
is running down the sides of the mountain,
burning every thing in its pathway. And
it is said Gov. Caldwell has called out the
j malitia in that section to stop it.
DEATH OF CHAELES SUMNER
FURTHER PARTICULARS.
Washington, March 11. Hon. Sena
tor Sumner appeared in his seat in the
Senate yesterday, and although taking no
part in the business of the session, seem
ed iu his usual health. About 2 o'clock
he was seized with a severe pain io the
region of the heart, and left his seat and
reclined for a moments on a sofa. At first
he thought ir prudent to go home, but at
the suggestion of his personal friend, Hon.
Sam Hooper, who was in the Senate
Chamber, he concluded to remain there
until his colleague, Mr. Boutwell, had
presented the resolutions of the Legisla
ture of Massachusetts, rescinding the reso-
uuon or censure passea uoon hiru on
account of bis action in the Senate relative
to striking the names of Union victories
during the late war from the army regis
ter aud all batt le rl igs. Soon after, he
rallied aud the pain entirely ceased, fie
returned to his residence in ordinary
iiealth. The Senator was iu good saints

but, at about 9 o'clock was suddenly

the benefits to our State arising from a
well managed exhibition of art and indus

that hearty, co-operation and support from
all sections of North Carolina which will
make our Exposition second to none, but
probably the largest and most popular
State Fair ever held in the Southern
States. We shall advert to this subject
from time to time as its importance may
justly deserve.
What we Owe to the Mechanic
To nothing are we so much indebted
for the improved condition, increased
comforts, and elevation of -wind and in"
tellect among all civilized -people, as to
the discoveries, inventions and impiove
ments in the mechanical arts.
Since the days of Watt, Bolten, and
Arkwrighi' all the great movements ef
fecting the conditions of the different
orders and ranks in society owe their
origin or have been mado practicable only
by the introduction and use of machinery
that adds to human industry.
In ''the good old times" those who, by
hereditary rights or by superior prowess
assumed or usurped the right to rule over
the great laboring masses, were content
to have their wants supplied, whether of
courtly display and extravagance, or of
predatory warfare upon their rivals
without a thought or care as to the,
amount or kind of labor required for
gratifying the demands of their pride and
ambition.
The tillers of the soil, the artisan and
the manufacturer, all upon a common
level, were regarded as mere serfs, useful
only as producers of what was required
by the higher orders.
Labor-saving machinery has changed
all this. It has been the great elevating
aud equalizing agency of modern times
and made it possible for the mechanic
aud the laborer to supply bis wants and
to surround himself with cumforts, eon
veniences, and luxuries unknown in for
mer times to even the very highest or
ders. He is no longer the serf dependent
on other ranks, compelled to devote bis
life, subject to their will in ministering to
the wants of others, for the mere right of
existence for himself.
All this we owe to the mechanic aud
mechanical arts. The great movement
in this direction is still going on at a con
stantly accelerated ratio. Oue improve
ment only stimulates to another ; a comfort
or luxury for to-day is a necessity for to
morrow ; one improvement or advance
secures the means aud opportunity for
still further triumphs.
The mechanic of to day is not defined,
as he once was by a literary lion of the old
aristocratic court circles,, aa "a low mean
fellow." He may, if he improves his
opportunities, be the peer of men in auy
lauk or profession.

Commissioners, as in Illuois, tbe rates
that may be charged, in each class, for
freight and passengers. These rates are
3 cents, 3 cents and 4 cents, respective
ly, for passengers. A fund of $10,000 is
placed in the Government's bands to de

that infringe the law. When damages
sustained by any one, he may recover five

Tenth Lecture Repentance, Conversion,

New Haven, March 12 The tenth lec
ture of the course on preaching was deliver

by lieury Want Heecher on repeutance, con

gives reasonable evidence that he has started

You should not define faith according to the
ripened experience of a matUTt Christian. In
some cases cou version is like the unveiling
of a statute in a public square. To the peo
ple it seems to have just sprung into exis
teuce, while in fact it may have been the
work of years. It is enough for men to say
they are only beginners io the Christian life,
aod woe unto him who says, "I have re
nounced all sin." Many ore lost because
miuisters do not recognize the childlike be
ginnings ot their faith. You' would not lay
a new-born babe out in the storm and say,
If it survive the night it will be. worth
taking care of." The Christian, 'like the
babe, needs succor most in the beginning

The point wheu one turns may be like the
point of time wbeu a ship turus in tr.cking.
The sails shiver and flap and gradually catch
the wind and then become entirely full.
Theie was a point when she turned, but you
cannot mark it. Some think there is a want
of dignity iu commanding men to repeut at

Here is my basket, r'ease come forth in the
exercise of your trout nature and get into it"

In conversion a man must have only so much
feeling as is necessary to r his special ease.
A little yatch does not need so much steam
as an ocean steamer. All over the exact a-
tnount needed a surplusage. It is not nec
essary to steep a man in conviction as you
do cloth iu a dye-vat. The quicker and
easier one turns from wrong to right the no-

hold out for a year and lie in face of punish

I tried to be Brainard and Payson and Hen

Gen. Ransom, thoogh hitherto silent,

when the proper time and subject comes
up his voice will be heard and repeated.

It is the vital principle. From the moment
that disease is developed in the system, this
champion fights the intruder until it either
conquers or in conquered. Which side should
medicinal science espouse In this life and death
struggle? Should it depress and cripple the,
physical energies of the. patient, thereby help
ing the disorder, or should it reinforce th
vitality of the patient, and thereby aaniat in
quelling the ailinenU? Of course the proper
answer to this question must be obvious to every
one above the grade of an idiot or a lunatic,
and hence it follows that the weak and broken
down invalid who chooses to doae himself with
depleting bIoim, instead of louing, invigorating
and v&nling his enervated frame with Ilostet
ter's Stomach bittern, mutt be cither feeble
minded or deranged. Surely nothing short of
imbecilitv or insanity could induce a person
laboring under bodily weaknm and nervous
prostration, to take day after day powerful
doses of home draMtic jHirgative in the hope of
gaining strength thereby. Although charlatans
may advertise preparations of thin character as
tonics, people in the fall pnatefeion of their rea
son can not, one would think, accept them aa
such. If they do the penalty of their credulity
may be the shortening of their liven. The rheu
matic, the dyspeptic, the bilious, the debilitated
and nervous, and all who are subject to intermit
tent, or other diseases brought on by the in
clement whether which prevails at this season,
will do well to strengthen their nerves, tone
their stomachs and regulate their bowels with
the Bitten". The two-fold operation of tbe
restorative as an invigorant and an aperient, in
addition to its direct and specific effect upon
the disordered liver, renders it a most efficient
remedy for complaints of the digestive, secretive
and excretive organs, at present in nee. This
fact is conceded by eminent members of the
faculty whose testimony to that effect is pub
lished in Hosteller' n Almanac for 1874.

New Boarding Bates.
Tne undersigned are constrained, more bv
necessity than choice, to advance the price of
ttoara at tneir respective Mouses. Experience
has demonstrated to them the iawuttcieacy of tbe
sums now charged ; and as they find nearly all
tbe attendant expenses of Housekeeping still
advancing, the necessity for an advance in
Boarding Kates elewhere in the towns and cities
of the State, have for the moat part, bad a slid
ing scale, designed to meet th increased prices
of commodaties, thus securing a safe margin on
their time, investments, and labor. We of
Salisbury, on the contrary, have thus for stood
firmly bfipreeent rates amidst all changes, and
have struggled to compete with the better paid
Houses referred to ; and have often been told
that, in all the eassentials of good accomodation,
we have equalled them. But the effort in this
uneqnal contest is too costly too exhausting ;
and to continue it, is only to assure your failure
in tbe end which may entail upon an
permanent injury, a result, we presume, which
no boarder can desire to see.
The undersign do not deem it necessary to
recite mere at length the reasons which are
obvious to those who will take the trouble to
compare thire rates with those which were charg
ed when the prices of labor, rents, provisions,
Ac, were cheaper. It lias been to them a sub
ject of close concern, and one which so earnestly
presses upon their attention, as to leave them
no alternative but to deal with it by tbe ordinary
rules of trade, and in tbia, they' have agreed
upon the following advanced rates,
