R.-\N.\W.\Y from the subscriber, on the 15th of
December, 1 a negro boy named DENNIS.
Said boy was about twenty-one years ' age when he
left, and weighed about 14U or 150 po«nds. He is
dark complected, round faced, full jawed, slightly bow-
leggsd, round shouldered, leans forward when he
walks, and is very intelligent. He has a scar on the j
inside of one thigh, caused by a wound received in a
fall from a tree. I have reason to believe that he has '
bcL'n in the counties of Johnston, Harnett. Cumber- I
land and Bladen, and in the town# of .\verasboro’ and ;
Fayetteville, wliere he passed for a free man. under j
the assumed names of Joseph Jacobs, John G Wil- i
liams and William ('aMwell, and at times followed the \
oociipation of a ditcher. 1 have also been informed ^
that he left Raleigh in a bugsy with an Irishman, ‘
probably under a promise of being taken to a free
State
I will pa}’ a reward of SlOO for his apprehension
and ilelivery to me, or for his continement in any jail
S ) that I get him, if taken within this State; •i?'JOO if j

WJi refer our readerg to the ar.'iual statpment of
thw .-Etna Insurance Conipnny, of Harifori,
which will by founl in another column Tiii. suc
cessful institution was incorporateii by the Legislature
ot Connecticut in 18Kt, with a perpetual charter. Itg
capital is St'oOO.OUO, and its* accumulations exceed
$800,000 more, making its entire assets over $1,800,-
000, invested as detailed in the statement referred to.
These results indicate th;it 'ii.i ing the period of near
ly forty years since its orpuuization, (without a single
change of its chief officei-,) its business has been con
ducted with judgment and prudence. It has been
thus far successlul in an eminent degree, i^ischarginp.
as we are informed, all its obligations by the payment
of about ten million dollars for losses, without asking a
day's delay in any instance. It has had but little lit
igation, notwithstaiidiiig the immense number of trans
actions male. In order to attain as much certainly as
possible in such a business as insurance, it has been
the practice of the Company, for several years, at
great labor, carefully to classify and arrange their
risks into about fifty distinct classes, so as to ascertain
the amount insured on each class, the amount of
premiums received thereon, and the amount of
losses upon each. This classification, extending
over a long, period, and covering property to a very
large amount, furnishes reliable data, and pre
sents a sound, substantial basis of actual experience,
upon which to conduct its business. Insurance is not
a matter of luck or chance, as many suppose; its ha-
lards are ascertainable, and its principles are capable
of being reducel to a system, the practical working
and results of which are as certain as that of any other
business. The .Etna Company, by adhering rigidly
to its system, and })lacing its business upon a healthy
basis, has obtained the confidence of the community
t^o an extent surpassed by no other Company in the U.
States, and has increased its business and its income
from j’ear to year with a steady growth. One great
source of its security is the wide distribution of its
risks—a policy which it pursues with great strictness
—limiting the amount to be covered in each locality.
By this course it has jiassed, with comparative impu
nity, through some of the most sweeping and destruc
tive fires, which iiave swallowed lip other companies
less cautious in their business. It is a system like
this, based upon experience, which gives stability and
soundness to a company, and to the assured confidence
and security.—liallinure ratriot.

OF
THE NORTH CAROLLNA PRESBYTERIAN.
^ 11 HE Presbyterian Church in North Carolina has
i long labored under a serious disadvantage from
the want of a journal to advocate her claims and rep
resent her interests. It is estimated that only 1000
Pie.sbyterian Weeklies are taken in the bounds of our
three Presbyteries. We have 13,000 Communicants,
and it is safe to infer that there are 30,000 Presbyte-
rims in pri:iciple in the State. Our Synod stands
fifth in the Union in point of numbers, and her mem
bership is greater than that of any Synod South or
West of Pennsylvania. Our sister States ou the North
and South, neither of which has a membership so
large as ours, publish the Central, and the Southern
Presbyterian, for the benefit of their people. The
time has come when the Presbyterian Church in North
Carolina should likewise do her duty^o her children.
It is a conceded and important fact, that hundreds of
our members will take a State paper who will take no
other. The Paper is needed to be the organ of our
Synod and Presbyteriea—to elevate and enlighten the
piety of our membership by diffusing evangelical
knowledge—to promote the cause of Education—to
develope the talents of our Ministry, and to strength
en the attachment of our people to the soil and sanc
tuaries of their own State.
It our Church in other States, and other Churches
in this SUte, can supply their members with a Re
ligious journal, why may not we? Are North Caro-
lina Presbyterians inferior in talent, energy and
patriotism to their neighbors on the North or South,
or to Christians of other denominations at home?
With the same or better opportunities of accomplish
ing this work, shall we leave it undone? In the lan
guage of one of our most able and useful Ministers,
an adopted son of our State, “It ought to have beeti
undertaken .iO years ago, but it is not too late to be
gin to do right. ”
^^In the last two or three months, a fund of about
•'SoOOO has been subscribed as a permanent capital
At a meeting of the contributors, held at Greensbo-
roiigh on the 14th of .May, Rev. A Baker, Chairman,
—the Paper was unanimously located at Fayetteville,
under the name and title of the North Cauoli.v.\
I RKSBYTLRi.w. Rev. W m. N. Mebane and Rev.
George .MeNeill were elected Editors: Rev. Messrs
George McNeill. Wm. N. .Mebane, A. Baker, and C.
H. Wiley, and Messrs. George .McNeill, Sr., John H.
Cook and David .Murphj’ were appointed an Executive
Committee, to establish the Paper ard m.mage its
business .-iffairs.
It is our wish .and design to make the Nortu C\ro-
LI.NA PKESiivTKKr.\N a journal of the first class, equal
to the bes' in the country in typographical appear
ance and in adaptation to the wants of our Churches.
Its columns will afford the latest intelligence, both
foieign and domestic, and special care will be taken
to give a full und accurate summary of State news.
The name ot the Paper is desigued to be an exponent
of its character and contents. From conviction, it
will advocate the conservative, orthodox. Old School
doctrines and or Jer of the Church
Our first appeal is to our own. people—to N. C.
Presbyterians. Whilst we rely confi-lently upon their
favor, we trust that the native sons of Nortti Carolina
who have found homes in otiier State.^, and the adopt
ed citizens of our State who form so important an
element in our .Ministry and membership, will take a
deep interest in this enterprise and give it their
hearty support.
Terms: -,2 per annum in .advance, or on delivery
of the first number; ^2 50 in six months; i58 at the
end of the year, lo clubs of 25 or more, pajinjr in
advance and when the Paper is sent to one addres.«, a
discount ot W per cent, will be allowed. Our Minis
ters and Elders are earnestly desired to act as Agents,
.and all others friendly to the cause will please assist
in procuring as many subscribers as possible, and for
ward the names. Ay August U/, to this Office. As
soon .as 1500 subscribers are obtained, the first num
ber will be issued. If a faithful and vigorous effort
is made in the next two months by those who take a
lively interest in this work, we will, without d"ubt,
be able lo begin the publication at the end of that
time with a paying sut>scripiioTi list of at least 3IM)
