STEDM AN, a Member of the North Carolina Bar. In offering to the Public my Magazine, I claim for the Editorial chair no superiority over that department of other like Periodicals; but I do claim for the talent of North Caro lina, and the South generally, that will be brought to its sup port, Southern patronage. And I also as a southern man, and the Editor of a Southern Magizine, claim at the hands of the Southern country, and especially of North Carolina, that aid support that will here, at home, establish, upon a firm basis, a fountain of Literature, and exclusively a Home Literary Magazine. . . Many are the Magazines now published m the Northern States that ai e flooding the whole Southern country. There is not,( it is probable,) a county in any Southern State that is not visited by " Harper," 'Graham,"" Peterson." or "Godey ;" whi'e here, in North Carolina and the South, where genius v.nsurpassed and unequaled reigns, the literary talent that is brought into exercise is dedicated to the sup port of Northern Magazines, while Southern enterprise, taste and talent bow in humble submission to such suicidal policy of Southern contributors. Why, I ask, cannot we North Carolina, the South send greeting to our Southern clime a Magazine, acceptable for the many qualities that adorn the pages of the most chaste, elegant and Periodical ? It is true that the, South has her Magazines ; but few in number are they, and unknown, com pared to the publications of the north, which every mail brings to our home, filled with the result of hired labor, and teeming with unpardonable sedition. Then I appeal to North Carolina and other Southern States to aid me in toy enterprise, and in promoting a literary taste amongst those upon whom, as a Southern man 1 have claims. My Magazine will be the usual size; and nothing will be admitted to its pages but such articles as will meet the ap proval of the most fastidious. It shall be ILLUSTRATED WITH ENGRAVINGS AND PLATES of the most elegant texture, equaling in beauty and style any executed at the North. My price of supscription is THREE DOLLARS per year, which is required to be paid in advance, as the expense to be incurred in establihing sucll a publication will not admit of a credit system. 5- TheliM Number will be issued 1st January, 1858.

Some public house patriot was repeating the old national boast that " an English man's house is his castle." " I am not so positive ahout that,' said a critic of the AVestminster Review ; " but T am sure that an ' Englishwoman's dress is her castle for it is such an enormous size now, that it is morally and physically impossible for any one, friend or enemy, to come near her !" Speculators and Capitalists. This hit will fit oth er latitudes than that of Paris a "good thing" of a Parisian gamin, (urchin, loafer boy) : Two gentlemen were chatting on the Boulevard. One was a great speculator, developing the plan of some magnificent project, the other a dazzeled capitalist, ready to snap at the bait, lie hesitatal a little ; but was not yielding, merely making a few obejections for conscience' sake. . , Xear those two, passed a coupled of youngsters of ten or twelve years. They were looking into a tobacco shop close by, and one cries out to the other: " Buy the piper ! I'd like to smoke a sou's worth of tobacco. " Well," said the other, '-buy a sou's worth.'' " Ah ! as luck will have it, i havn't the sou." " Hold on, I've got two sous." " That's the ticket, just the thing one for the pipe, and one for the tobacco." " Oh, ye ! but what am I to do ?" ' You ?" Oh, vou shall be a stockholder, you can spit!" It was a flash f light. Capitalist thrust his hands in to his pockets aLd fled. The speculator cast a furious look at the two urchins, and turned down the street. Darkey's Speech. In one of the smaller cities of Massachusetts, the colored population held meetings to discuss the propriety of celebrating the anniversary of West Indian Emancipation, August 1st. At one of these meetings, a very conservative gentleman was ex ceedingly surprised to see some of the "fair sex" rising and taking part in the discussion. After two or three of the sisters had "freed dar mines" on matters under debate, he sprang up in a greatly excited state and ad dressed the audience : Feller Citizens ! Ef I'd a sposed 'at dc ladees would be p'mitted to take a part in dis yere discossin (sensation) ef I'd node 'at de ladees could jine in dis yere debate (all eyes turned on the speaker) ef I'd bleeved, for one moment, feller citizens, 'at de female sect wood dar to raise deir woice in dis yere meetin,' I'd feller citizens " (Wot ! wot wood you've a did, ef you'd node it?" shouted two or three of the strong-minded sisters, as the whites of there eyes flashed on the speaker,) I (scratch inghiswool) I'd a brvng my vnfe along wid me." Here the discomfited orated dropped into his seat, com pletely exhausted. 5 NO. 12. The Latest New York Bank Defalcation. YTe have heretofore stated that an officer in the Gro cers' Bank in New York had been charged with being a defaulter for $68,000. This bank suspended a few days before the general suspension and was placed in the hands of receivers. The Xew York. Herald gives the name of the officer as Clark, the assistant Cashier and paying teller, and adds : At the time of the suspension the directors suspected from the state of affairs that there was some other cause besides the hard times, but no positive clue. Ai the stated monthly examination the balance sheet of the cashier has been repeatedly made to correspond with the deposit account, the entries being properly footed up. By means of false entries and certified checks ; it now appears that Mr. Clark has made his balances corres pond with the general balance-sheet at the beginning of every month, his entire charge of the books in this de partment affording him every facility. At present he appears to have been carrying on his operations but for eighteen months, though it is possible he might have been pursuing the same plan since his first connection with the bank in 1851, more than six years since. About ten days since Air. Clark obtained leave of ab sence in the country on the plea of needing rest from the exciting labor of the past few weeks, and it was not until after Ids departure that the defalcation was made known. It is said that he has gone to New Jersey and that the officers of the law have a clue to his wherea bouts. The papers have already been placed in the hands of the district attorney for his action. Air. Clark is the son of ex-mayor Clark, and a young man not over 37 vears of acre. lie was formerly a clerk in the North Kiver Bank, and left there at the formation of the Grocers Bank, beincr offered a more remunerative position. He was always considered an exceedingly smart, energetic business man, and his ac counts have always before been found correct. I e left a note to the directors, stating that he had been deceived by a friend ; and it is stated that about 50,000 worth of notes and checks of a personal friend of his, which proved to be worthless, were also left. If the latter statement is true it may account in a measure for the disposition of the money, as it is not supposed that he has a large amount with him. The amount of proper ty standing in his name is not ascertained, though doubt less there is not enough to save the bank from loss. His bondsmen are sureties for $10,000, which is consid ered good. Mr. Clark had a rather showy wife and three or four children, and has within a year past moved from a small house in Pacific street, Brooklyn, to a splendid brown stone house, which he has built in Clinton street, near Pacific. His living was considered rather fast, and many of his acquaintances wondered how he could live so extravagantly on a salary not varying far from $2,000 per annum. Yet his expenses have been esti mated at, at least, 810,000 per annum. He had a fine sta ble and fast horses, and was seen often on the road, some times betting. His house was furnished in fine style, including an expensive billiard table. Himself and fam ily always dressed well, and spent considerable money. This was explained by a current rumor that his father, who is reputed to be wealthy, had loaned him money. He was not deeply in debt, as far as can be ascertained. Quo of his creditors said he esteemed him his safest cus tomer, and had generally the reputation of Ijcing a prompt paymaster. Newspaper Enterprise. One of the most remarkable instances of newspaper enterprise, that has ever come under our observation, is to be seen in the issue of the London Times, for Thurs day, 8th October, the day after the National Fast, ap pointed for Humiliation, at the unparalleled disasters in India. More than twenty-five solid columns of that journal are occupied with reports of religious services, held in the various churches of the Metropolis, on the solemn occasion. Sketches of one hundred and eighteen sermons are given, among which the longer ones are dc voted to the most celebrated divines, ouch as the liev. Dr. Cummings, the Rev. Dr. Croly, author of "Salathiel." Mr. Trench Dean, of "Westminister, so well known in this country for his volumes on "Words," " Proverbs," &c, Mr. Lydell, the celebrated Phesyite, Mr. Spurgeon, and others. The last name gentleman, not being able to find an edifice in London large enough to hold the im mense multitude that was anxious to hear him, had a pulpit erected in the transept of the Crystal Palace at Sydenham, where ho held forth to 23,504 persons, per haps the most numerous audority that was ever assem bled to listen to one man, since the days of Peter the Hermit. It will be seen from what we" have stated, that the Times must have secured for the "Day of Humiliation " the services of not less than 118 re porters, specially charged with the duty of making an abstract of the particular sermons to which they bar kened respectively, but besides this extraordinary enter prise, the paper furnishes the texts preached from, at forty-eight other chapels and meeting houses, together with the amount contributed at each to the Indian Re lief Fund. Such an illustration of energy in journalism, we believe has never before been witnessed. The same paper has indeed frequently published from 3G to 4.8 Parliamentary Debate, the day after opening of the National Legislature, but thi3 did not involve the em ployment of one-fifth the numlier of reporters, and the work was systematic and'eontinuous from tle hour of cal ling the Houses to order up to the time of going to press. The doctrine of a special providence is enforced with a great affluence of illustration in fheo discourses, (of which it is singular to remark that no two were based upon the same passage in Scripture,) but a fervent patriotism pervades them all, and the necessity is recognized both by Churchmen and Dissenters, of inflicting a stern and sum mary punishment upon the mutinous Sepoy's. The hour is at hand for the vengeance of an outraged people to make itself felt, and whether the British dominion is to be maintained in India or not, it is certain that the name of England will lie remembered by the Hindoos to tne remotest generation. ret. Kxp. " Big Ingln." There was in Esplanade street yesterday an aborigine, who presented a deeply interesting portaiture of what a genuine native is, after he lias accomplished the grand feat of saturating both the ideal and physical self with the much loved " fire water." The red man to whom we allude seemed to have been highly successful in his efforts to achieve a big drunk : and never did we meet with one of his race who rejoiced in a greater amount of temporary happiness. Seated upon a fire plug as much of the time as could keep there, the operation be ing difficult, he talked "ingin," sang " ingin," swore " in gin," and indulged in frequent amiable war whoops, to the great delight of an audience of boys and girls, and at times " children of a larger growth." Occasionally iiu t.-uiiuebct.'iiuL'u to use ine vernauiar. wmcn lie nro- nounced remarkably well for a drunken " ingin," and we seized upon one ot these occasions to note down the im portant fact that his name was Ka-shaw-mingo-mut-goose-fat, or the Sanguinary Tomahawk of the Rocky Mountains, and that he originated in the domestic lodjre of " Big Thunder," chief of the Biff Heads and Wat- topottamies. Goosefat repeatedly assured everybody wunin ncanng mat ne was a remarkably " big ingin and was extremely solicitous that the pale faces should notice the circumstance of his having had " whiskey heap." AV e were meditating upon the for grandeur of the race which once called this broad land all his own of the probable innate nobility of the soul for which the estimable savage Ijelore us was doubtless distinguish ed among his people ; and we had allowed our imagin ation to soar into J liawatha and Ahnnehaha regions, when our dream was interrupted by the arrival of a su pernumerary policeman, dressed principally in a dirty shirt and a sort of war club, who announced to " big ingin " the necessity of being " taken in." Lo, the poor ' ingin !" The last we saw of him he was vainly endeavoring to induce the supernumerary to halt and lend him his club, while he " did " a small war dance on the banquette. N. O. Picayune, Oct. 27. Hardware. The Hardware dealers ot New York, in compliance with a call from the Board of Trade, held a preliminary meeting at the Astor House, on Saturday, to consider the time of credit, as at present allowed, and other matters connected with the existing embarrass ments of trade. The meeting was largely attended, and Edward Corning presided. Several addresses were made against the short credit system. It was remarked that it would be preferable to make sales at nine months cred it, with the certainty of getting them, than at six months, with a likelihood of not receiving the cash for a year. A committee was appointed to draw up resolutions ; anoth er committee was appointed to visit Boston and Phila delphia, and to procure the attendance of delegates at a second meeting, which will be had on Friday. ..

A Noble Womax. The New York correspondent of the Boston Journal writes the following : One of the citizens of New York, a gallant, whole hearted and noble fellow who is better known in the country than any other man who lives in New York whose house has been the home of all the great men of the land and who has the same great gift that God gave Solomon, " largeness of heart," he, to the surprise of everybody, failed. All persons supposed the house was immensely rich and was daily coining money. It was said that the failure was occasioned by the outside speculation of a partner. All that this gentleman had, and all that he had earned, was at once given up to his creditors, and he began life again, as he began it thirty years ago, with the same spirit and energy, with the same cheerfulness and the same liberality. His affairs were then as far as possible then kept from his wife. But with the quick, keen eyes of affection she saw that more was involved in the affairs of her husband than he chose to state to her. She is a woman that had her birth and education under the unwelcome sky of New England, but her mental and moral training were had under those influences that have raised up so many men and women of mark and talent in our land. . Asking nothing from her husband about his nwtters, this lady iea bci liusDand's lawyer and heard from him the full measure of the evil th.it had fallen on his future. Her resolution was at once taken. She knew that her husband valued his honor more than all the wealth of the world, and that he felt that that honor seemed to rest under a cloud. She held at the East a large and valuable property, which was exclusively her own. She ordered the papers to be drawn at once, placing all the property in the hands of her husband's creditors, resolving to partake with lum of all the con sequences of the loss of property. She then sought out her husband, told him what she had done, and with a smiling face bade him look cheerfully to 1hc glowing fu ture beiore tnem. isobie woman! worthy of the best days of Roman fortitude ; worthy to be ranked among those noble women described in the ord of God, whom the children " rise up and call blessed," whose " husband sitteth among the elders at the gate of the city," of whom her husband says, " Alany daughters have done virtuously, but thou excellest them all." AVhat does it Cost to Visit ErmoPE ? This in teresting question is thus satisfactorily answered by a correspondent of the Boston Post : " This is a question that I am asked not unfrequently, and something may be said in answer that will be of advantage to the inexperienced traveller. Were I to state that I spent ten to forty thousand dollars during my first visit to Europe and it was nearer the latter sum than the former it would really be saying nothing definite ; so I will tell what may be done. Stay-at-home people often have some very singular ideas of the expen ses of foreign travel. I am not writing for the informa tion of beggars, robbers, or gamblers, but for those who take money enough with them to pay all their expenses, personal and otherwise. During my last visit to Europe I visited England, France, Belgium, Holland, Germany, Switzerland, northern Italy, and Sardinia, and was gone from home about one hundred days. When I have been asked what it cost me, I have sometimes asked my ques tioner to ' guess ' the amount. The sum named has been usually &2,000 or $2,500. It was about one-fifth of the latter sum to wit, five hundred ; and the very same scenes can be visited now for one-half that sum, and travel respectably. Aloney being usually an important consideration, wc wish, in travel, as in other investments', to get as much value as possible for our dollars. I be lieve travellers usually do not get more than one-half what they might. If a man wishes to become well ac quainted with the English people at home, or any other people in their domestic and social relations, and their political condition, he must stay awhile, making his onic with them." Feast at an English Funerai, in Olden Time. It la iciuiea thai ai the funeral feast upon the death of Sir John Pastor, which was celebrated at Bromholm Priory, in Norfolk county, in 14C6, one man was kept engaged for three continuous days in no other occupa tion than that of flaying beasts, and provision was made of fourteen barrels of beer, twenty-seven barrels of ale, and fifteen gallons of wine. All these, however, proved inadequate to the demand ; for it is stated that twenty bushels oi malt at one time and lorty at another were brewed up expressly for the occasion. Aleat, too, was in proportion to the liquor ; the country round about must have been swept of geese, chickens, capons, and such small gear, all which, with the 1,300 eggs, twenty gallons of milk and eight of cream, and the forty-one pigs, lorty-nine calves, and ten " note " slam and devour ed, give a fearful picture of the scene of festivity the abby walls at time beheld. J o less than JE20 was changed from gold into smaller coin that it might be showered amongst the attendant throng, and 17 m cop per had been used for the same object in London before the procession began to move. A barber was occupied five days in getting the monks in trim for the ceremony, and the " rc-ke of the torches at the dirge " was so great that the glazier had to remove two panes to permit the fumes to escape. Lord Xapler. The present British Alinister at AVashington, Lord Napier, seems to be winning " golden opinions" from all with Vhom he comes in contact. The AVashington correspondence of the Richmond Enquirer says that Air. Crampton, the late British representative, desired him to rent his residence npon Georgetown Heights, but tho patrician not being so ambitious as the plebeian, declined the offer on the ground that he would be only accessi ble in that rural retreat to those who kept equipages, and that he desired freely with the people of this country. He has accordingly established his quarters in the heart of AVashington, where his accessible and dignified de meanor and the graces and charms of the accomplished Lady Napier, have produced a more favorable impression than any British Alinister has made in the capital for years. The importance and greatness of this country have now lecome such as to require the British Cabinet to )G somewhat select in its envoys to this part of the world, and it has given a proof of its appreciations of this fact in the appointment of Lord Napier. If that nobleman had been at AVashington during the Crimean war, we should have escaped the enlistment embrolio due to his irritable and and stupid predecessor. A Good Bank Customer. The Hartford Times tells the following of a case of " idle capital :" " A remarkable case of the careful preservation of bank bills came to light in Aliddietown about two weeks since. Air. John Cone, who resides near Haddam, appeared at the counter of the Aliddietown bank with $1,000 of its bills, and asked for the specie, which was promptly giv en to him. These bills were paid to him in 1835, and they were returned in the same packages, and with the same strips of paper and marks that were upon them when paid out. Air. Cone had kept them 22 years, of course without interest. Had he placed the money in some good savings' bank when it was first paid to hhn he would now be entitled to nearly $3,000 instead of $1,000." This is what might be called (says the New Haven Register) keeping " a good bank account." A few such benevolent men as Air. Cone would enable a bank to keep out a very respectable " circulation." It is what may be termed the " height of confidence." Notices of Books. Ferdinand Freiligrath, the greatest of living German poets, has translated (with the same metre) Longfellow's u Song of Hiawatha." The poem, in its Tenotome dress, reads almost as well as in its American, so thoroughly faithful, yet spirited, is this new version. Freiligrath, who subscribes him self Longfellow's " sincere friend and admirer," is the best political poet living, has suffered for the liberality of his principles, and, since 1850, has been an exile, liv ing in London, as a merchant's clerk. This translation is neatly printed, upon good paper. Nary Red to Nary Broker. The devices of the banks in the West to save specie, the commodity so scarce with them, are original, to say the least of them : " Ihe bpringnclu (Ohio) Aonpareu Bays the citizens of that town last week adopted a new plan for protect ing their banks from being run by the brokers. Learn ing that a oroKer had reached town com a neighDoring city to run the bank for coin, they promptly placed on one tide of the bank entrance a bucket of tar and a brush, and upon the opposite a long, rough-looking fence rail, bearing the inscription : " Nary red to nary Broker." As the bmW mmroached the bank he read this inscrin- tion, glanced at the tar bucket and retreated. Tho bank went on as usual.
