MITCHELL. 11HE Undersigned having during the past summer heard many express a wish that a monument should be placed over the grave of Rev. Dr. Mitchell, upon the High Peak of the Black Mountain, and regret that it had not already been done, has determined to give his personal attention to the matter, and trusts that, by the aid of the thousands of pupils and friends of that venerable man. he may be enabled to erect it. The undersigned proposes to erect a plain, substan tial structure, with the rock found on the spot, and to build it in such a manner that it may also be used as an Observatory. He pledges himself to all contributors that no pains shall be spared upon his part to have the j structure tirm, and a fit monument to one, whose moral, I intellectual and physical character, was so fit a simile to I the granite on which his body rests. The undersigned ; will give his personal attention to the work, andjrusts his knowledge of the country and its people will tha' enable him to have it constructed as cheaply as is pos sible to have it done by anj- one else. Means will be taken to preserve the names of those who contribute. The undersigned is determined that the monument shall be erected if any amount near suf ficient is obtained. Kemp P. Battle, Esq., of Raleigh, will receive «on- tributions, and Messrs. Litchford and Finch, reporters in the House and Senate of the Legislature will receive any contributions from members of those bodies.

All lu}' ties and interests are here—here 1 have long lived, and here I expect to die.” Alabama.—The question whether the State of Alabama can wholly secede from the Union ;^id adopt a new revenue system without the consent of the Federal Government, is easily answered ih the negative if regard be had to the following I clause in the ordinance passed by the Convention j which formed her constitution and State govern- i ment preparatory to her admission into the Union: I “This Convention, for and in behalf of the peo ple inhabiting this State, do accept the proposi- I tion offered by the act of Congress under which j they are assembled; and this Convention, for and j in behalf of the people inhabiting this State, do j ordain, agree, and declare, that they forever dis- claim all right and title to the waste or unappro- j priated lands lying in this State, and that the ! kame shall be and remain at the sole and entire i disposition of the United States; . . . and that ! no tax shall be imposed on lands the property of { the United States; and that all navigable waters j within this State shall forever remain public high,- ! ways, free to the citizens of this State and of the j United States, without any tax, duty, im'post, or j toll therefor imposed by this State; and tfits ordi- \ naiicf‘ is hereby declared irrecwable, without the consent of the L nit*d iStates.” Do the Republicans in Congress Represent the of their constituentsf—Memorial after me morial has been sent to Congress for weeks past praying for the passage of the Ciittenden rts« u- tions, with a view to restore peace to the country. Meetings have been held iu every State and in almost every county, endorsing those resolutions. Petitions hundreds of feet long, and signed by tens of thousands of names, have poured in upon the members, and some of our most distinguished statesmen and citizens have been selected to carry them. Men high in office, both in and out of Congress, have pleaded for the pa.ssage of those resolutions. Influential bodies of men, represent ing the great industrial and commercial interests O O of the country, have united their voices to secure it. Warnings have continued to come from pa triotic men at the South. State after State has seceded, and others are speedily to follow, because there appears no disposition to yield to the de mands of right and justice. But w^hat effect have all these demonstrations of popular sentiment upon the llepresentatives of the people? None whatever. They are utterly disregarded, and even treated with contempt. Petitions and en treaties are thrown away upon their obstinacy. Hreath is wasted upon deaf and unwilling ears. These men are no Representatiics of the people. On the contrary, they persistently o.ppose the wishes of their constituents. It is idle to charge that tncsc petitions for peace and compromise come from Democrats only. They are the united expression of men-of all parties, many Republicans included.—iV. Y. Jour, of Commerce. We presume it is a fact thai^ not one-tenth of the people of South Carolina voted for Delegates to the State Convention. No doubt this was the case in all the States that have seceded. That arch-fiend of disunion, Wm. L. Yancey himself, was elected a Delegate by a small minority of the people of his county. The peop/e are for Union, and reckle.ss politicians are for disunion. It is a notable fact that not one of the seceding States has gone out by the voice of the people. The politicians have dragged the people out, like a dead horse at the tail of a cart. Not one of them dared trust their acts to the decision of the people.—Ad Valorem Banner. Taxation in England.—The whole net revenue of England, for the year ending Dec. 31, 186U, amounted to £71,907,495—about equal, in round numbers, to 8300,000,000. This is bjjt the net amount. The cost of collection, estimated an av erage of 8 per cent, would make the gross amount of English taxation £77,700,000 for the year just ended. Surely an immense sum is 8388,500,000 to We paid by a population smaller than our own —a population, too, the great majority of which is much poorer than our own. It is raised thus: by Customs, 23 millions ster ling; by Excise, 19 millions; by Stamps, 2i mil lions; by Taxes, 3 millions; by the Post Office, 3J millions; by Crown Lands, a quarter million; by Miscellaneous payments, nearly 2 millions; and by Property and Income Tax, ©lose upon 3 millions pounds sterling# Yet, immense as is this amount, it is inadequate, by nearly 3 millions sterling, to meet the year’s expenditure.
