FRIDAY MORNING, MARCH 9, 13G0. Will it End? Quite a sprightly little family quarrel seems likely to spring up between Governor Sam Hous ton of Texas, the hero of San Jacinto, and Pres ident Buchanan. The Mexicans' have been com mitting and persist in keeping up a series of dep redations on Texan territory and Gov. Houston calls upon the President for assistance to enable him to drive them out. Old Buck demurs, where upon Gov Houston says he will call out his own Bubjects, and placing himself at their head, will drive the greasers back to their own barren pos sessions. We don't knoiv who is right or who is wrong, but we are satisfied that the Texan hero knows better how to manage Mexicans than any man living. He has experience, and while Mr. Buchanan may be learned in diplomacy, old Sam Houston can beat him badly in whipping Mexi cans. Go it Houston. 31 r. Iool' letter of Acceptance. j Below we give the letter of John Pool. Esq., ac. cepting the nomination of the Whig Convention for Governor of North Carolina. In a day or two both candidates will be before the people and the ball will be opened : Elizabeth City, Feb. 23th. 1800. Dear Sin : Yours of the 23rd inst., informing me of my nomination as a candidate for the office of Governor ot North Carolina, has been received. The Platform of principals adopted by the Con vention, meets my entire approbation. I am greatly pleased at the almost complete unanimity which prevailed in their adoption The section in reference to ad valorem taxation involves a principle, so manifestly just and equal in its operation, that it ought to be incorporated into the Constitution, with the least possible delay. When taxation was comparatively lijrht, the un certainty and inequality of the present system were overlooked. But it has now become a mat ter of importance to the State credit, as well as of justice to our citizens, that some system should be adopted, combining certainly in raising the requisite amount of revenue, with perfect equality to every section of the State and to every class of the people. If I were disposed I should not feel at liberty to decline the nomination tendered me. The pre sent dangerous condition of public affairs imposes upon every citizen the imperativeduiy of using: his best exertions, in any post assigned him, to t fleet a thorough and speedy reformation. No pains shall be spared on my part, and I invoke the aid of good and true men in all parts of the State to arrest the present corruption and discord, and establish official honesty and good feeling be tween the different sections of our country, s the onlv sure foundation for the Union of the States ::nd" the perpetuation ot the blessings of peace and civil liberty Yours, truly, JOHN POOL. Hon. K C. Pckykar. Presr, Raleigh N. C. They'll do to Tie lo. The Ladies of Allabama have the true mettle in them. The ladies of Demopolis in that State, are circulating the following resolutions, which have already beon numerously signed : Whereas, the Northern section of the Union is placing itself i ti antagonism to the institutions, rights "sin d equality of the South in this Confeder al, and its politicians, teachers and divines have lighted the fire of fanaticism, which, if uniesisted, wTll lay waste our land and desolate our tire, sides And whereas, it is becoming in us to withhold our aid and support from our avowed enemies, will endeavor, as our sacred duty to encourage the development of the industrial resources of our Stare and the South; therefore be it. Rcsulrcd. That we but emulate the patriatism of our mothers of the Revolution, when we declare that we are ready to practice any selfde nial to assist our fathers, our husbands, our broth ers and our sons, in maintaining their rights to liberty and indipendence. Resolved, That for this purpose, and to contribute our humble mite to the advancement of Southern commerce, Southern manufactures and Southern industry, we hereby pledge ourselves to purchase no article of Northern manufacture : no books from Northern publishing houses, and no goods bought in Northern markets, from and after the 1st day of March 1800, even should we have to resort to the primitive " homespun," or the fabrics of our own handiwork Rcsolrcd, That we will not hereafter support n Northern preacher, employ a Northern teaclipr. or travel in Northern clime in pursuit of health or pleasure. . Resolved further, That the foregoing resolutions shall be binding upon us antil the questions now affecting our political existence and our lives be determiTied fairly and justly to our section ; or until the South shall take her stand among the nations of the world, and the people ot the North as she holds the rest of mankind, " enemies in war, in peace friends." Had W hisky Did it. Really strichnine whisky is becoming an in tolerable nuisance. The Salisbury Watchman of this week has the following : George H. Cowan, Alexander Hooker and John M. Smith, and a number of other persons met at Frank Owen's grog shop, six miles west of this town, on Saturday week, in the afternoon, and were there until about dark, when a dispute oc curred between Cowan and Smith in which Hooker, it seems took some interest with Cowan. We learn there was a previous misunderstanding between Cowan and Smith and it is rumored that Cowan had several days before made threats. However, having met as above, both drinking, as it is supposed, words soon brought blows, in which Cowan used a knife, striking Smith in the abdomen, inflicting two wounds which the attending physician says will prove fatal. The latest accounts from the woun ded man presented him in a sinking condition. Cawan and Hooker were committed to jail. P. S. Since the above was written the woun ded man, Smith, has died. Here now, is more trouble and expense to fall on laboring, peaceable Red sober men on account of grog-shops and whisky-drinking, besides the loss of the life of a fellow-man in this violent manner. The County will hardly come ottt of the prosecution of these offenders at a leas cost than five hundred dollars ; and we have heard of a similar case costine the County nearly $1000. If a man were to burn down a county bridge worth that much money, he would-be made to smart for it. But the people tolerate grog-shops and the burdens resoluting from the use of Whis ky with the ntmost complacency. They even li cense these shops when they know that at least three fourths of all the indictments and the con sequent cost to the County, -will certainly rrelt from the use of the whisky sold By them. Our Icw York Correspondence. New York, March 4, ie60. Editor of the Daily Progress .'There have been some half a dozen patriotic gentlemen on here lately who are said to be aspirants for the Presi dency. Cassius M. Clay, who is the favorite of the physical, pugnacious element of the Republi can party, lectured a few evenings ago before one of the political associations, in a very temperate strain for him. But Mr. Clay can never hope to be a favorite with the Republicans of the Weed, Greeley and Seward school, for the reason that he openly avows himself to be no admirer of the ne gro race, no believer in the equality of races, and opposed to slavery solely on the ground that it is not beneficial to the white race. At any rate this is substantially Mr. Clay's doctrine at present, al though it is considered by some knowing oliti cians here as a bid, for the influence of the con servative element of the Republicon party. Mr. Douglas' movements were closely watched while he was here, but nothing definite could be learned of his doings. He took the very best pos sible means of baffling all conjecture as to his hopes, doubts and fears, and as to the exact na ture of the machinery by which he expects to get the Charleston nomination, and afterwards to get elected. When I say that Mr. Douglas took the best possible means to baffle conjecture, (fee, I mean that he acted in such a way as to cause an endless variety of the most opposite and conflict ing rumors to be circulated about him and his sayings and doing. The lead ing men of both sec tions of the Democratic party were received by the distinguished Senator from Illinois with equal graciousness, and prominent Americans, old-line Whigs, and even Republicans of the darkest dye had long private interviews with him. Mr. Toucey has been here for a few days en deavoring, so it is said, to secure the support of Fernando Wood at Charleston. Mr. Wood is the president of the Mozart Hall or Hard delegation from the democracy of the Empire State, and the mere fact of advances being made to him by an aspirant for the Presidency so well posted in na tional politics as Mr. Toucey is quite discourag ingly to the members of the soft or Tammany Hall delegation, who look upon Mr. Toucey's course as indicative of some secret knowledge which he may possess of the action which will be taken by the Charleston Convention, when the claims of the rival delegations from New York are presented for its consideration. Mr. Bates, of Missouri, has not been here per sonally ; but his friends are working hard for him. Charles A. Dana, of the New York Tribune, who practically controls the editorial columns of that remarkable paper, has published in it an ex tended biography of Mr. Bates, and several lead ing articles favoring the nomination of that gen tleman by the Chicago convention. The " Courier & Enquirer" all but threatens to bolt, if Mr. Bates or any other man but SwarJ g"ot9 tho IJpubIi can nomination ; but it is beginning to be pretty generally conceded by the warmest friends of Mr. Seward that his nomination would either cause a split in the Republican party or a stampede of most of the conservative men in it over to the "Union" candidate. That there will be a third or "Union" candidate put up at the Noith in the person of Crittenden, Bell, Isotts, or some such man, if an ultra Republican be nominated at Chi cago, cannot be reasonably doubted. On the other hand, if a conservative Republican is nominated, there will be no '-Union" candidate. The Chi cago and Charleston nominees will then have the field to themselves. Chase, of Ohio, has been dodging between here and Albany for some days, endeavoring to ingra tiate himself with the New York Republicans. He is the second choice of the Seward men, and is considered much' too radical by the conserva tive Republicans to be an occupant of the Presi dential chair. Lincoln, of Illinois, is by no means in the back ground, lie delivered an address here the other night, at the Cooper Institute. The meeting was presided over by Wm. Cullen Bryant of he Eve ning Post. Mr Lincoln is a clear-headed man amla good speaker, and would receive a much larger Republican vote for President than either Seward or Chase, but he is not conservative enough to suit all the voters of the North who are unwilling to see a democratic, successors to Mr. Buchanan. The Republicans here are looking forward with a good deal of anxiety to the Charles ton Convention. They are, of course, anxious to see the Tarnmany or -'soft" delegation from New York admitted as the representatives of the de mocracy of this Sfat, because they think that in such an event the influence of New York would be cast in the convention for a candidate who, although nominally a democrat, would be a good enough Republican for them as near to an anti slavery man as any man they could no. innate on the Republican ticket with any chance of elect ing him. It is to be hoped, however, for the sake ofTirder, and of that peace and harmony between the North and the South which alone can preserve the Union, that the " hard shell " or national dem ocratic dolegates will be cheerfnlly and unani mously admitted, as they alone represent that por tion of the democracy of New York which is friend ly to the South. I do not mean that the " hards " are friendly in any mere spirit of toleration or compromise, but because they hold with their leader, Fernando Wood, that where an inferior and a superior race are forced by circumstances to dwell together, it is better for both that the form er be enslaved. These are the only men whom the South can safely trust to co operate with it in President-making. But enought of politics. A word on agriculture, and I am through. I see by the London papers that Liebig, the great German chemist has written to Mechi, the famous English farmer, a most startling letter on the production of corn a subject as interesting to American farmers and planters as to Englishmen. I therefore give you an abstract of the learned German's remarkable epistle. He shows that the corn-producing power of the cultivated land of the globe is becoming1 rapidly exhausted, and that had it not been for the discovery of guano the de cline would have been much more marked than it is. Barn-yard manure, says Liebig, is insuf ficient for. the purpose of restoring to the earth the elements which are withdrawn from it in succes sive harvests They leave every year a deficien cy which must, in the course of time result in bar renness. Guano supplies the need; bat at the present rate of consumption, which is rapidly in creasing, it will not last, according to Liebig, more than thirty years at the utmost. A late report by C. P. Marshall, Esq., President of the American Guano Company, of this city, fully corroborates the statement of the German savant of the high and increasing rate of the consumption of guano. According to Mr. Marshall the demand for Ameri can guano, as the article supplied by this compa ny is sometimes called, to distinguish it from Pe ruvian guano is increasing rapidly from season to season, and orders from farmers and planters pour in so rapidly from all quarters of the Union, that the company have found it necessary to add sev eral new ships to their .already large fleet. To counteract the decline in the producing power.of the lands now under cultivation all over the civiL ixed globe. Liebig recommends diminishing the population of the older countries by emigration fx m9H to virgin toils, and a reooon o tb NEWBERN, N.

ORIGINAL POETBY. Ode to Spring. BY SIRS. SUSAN J. HANCOCK. Welcome, thrice welcome, Balmy Spring ! On dewy wings thou comeet Laden with sweets from Araby's spicy Grove. We pcent thee in the breeze as Thou passerh by on thy flowery cur, Scattering dew-drops likj glistening Emeralds o'er meadow and lea from thy Fair hand. Where e'er thou goe&t, life and Beauty spriug to light. All nuture grows bright At thy touch. Swiftly thou movest on, Le aving thy mantle on wood and glade. We truck thee by the flowers that bloom In thy pathway. On hill or dale where'er Thy foot hath pressed the violets aud daisies Put forth. Welcome, thou bright balmy Spring ! Earth's resurrection morn when from cold Winter's dreary night all nature hurts forth In new life and beauty. The feathered choristers Tune anew their notes of love and make voeul Wood and bower with .songs of praise. We feel Thee in the South wind as it kisses the Maidens brow or toys with her curls. We know Thee by the smell of new hay on thy garments. The rose lias caught thy blush, and the hyacinths, As they shiver in their cold beds, peep forth As they fel thy warm breath. Thy smile hast wooed The streams from their frozen lethargy and Sent them singing und dancing as they onward Flow. Yes thou hast come, bright representative Of love and youth, and like a bride all Nature has dunned her fairest robes to meet And welcome thee. SELECTED POETRY. Over t!ic VTny. Gone in her childish purity, Out from her golding day; Fading away in the light so sweet. Where the silver stars and the suubeams meet, Paving a path for her silent feet Over the silent way. Over her bosom tenderly The pearl white hands are prest ; The lashes lie on her cheeks so thin Where the softest olush of the rose hath beon, Shutting tlie blue of her eye within The pure lids closed in rest. Over the sweet brow lovingly Twineth her sunny hair; She was so fragile that love sent down From his heavenly gemsthot soft bright crown, To shade lfer brow with its waves so brown. Light as the dimpling air. Gone to sleep, with the tender smile Froze on her silent lips liy the turewpu kiss nrncr newy r-atn, Cold in the clasp of the angel Death Like the last fair bud of a fading wreath, Whose bloom the white frost nip. Robin hushed in your downy bed. Over the swinging bough Do you miss her voice lroin your glad duet, When the dew in the heart of the rose is set, Till its velvet hps with the essence wet In orient criuuom glow 1 Rosebud under your shady leaf Hid from the sunny day Do yon miss the glance of the eye so bright. Whose blue was Heaven in your timid sight ? It is beaming now in the world of light, Over the starry way. Hearts where the darling's head hath lain, Held by Liove'.s shining ray Do you know that thetoueh of her gentle hr.nd Doth brighten the harp in the unknown land ? Oh, she waits for us with the angel band Over the starrv wav. How Tim:y Hold Couut in Utah. Indian A pent Humphrey, who has some fifteen thou sand Indians under his care in Utah, some CO miles from Salt Lake City, thus describes, in a letter to n friend in Lafayette, the imposing open ing of a United States Court term by our Govern ment officials : The most imposing1 scene I have witnessed since my arrival here was the opening of United States Court at Nephi. by His Honor, Chief .Jus tice Eckels. .Just imagine you see him ascend ing the judicial rostrum, with his usual amount of dignity, with a large Colt's revolver hung to his side, and takes his seat. Then the Marshal. P. K. Datson, a long, dark complexioned Virginian, arose, wi.h two revolvers swung to his side, and calls court, in the usual form, '-Hear ye! hear ye !" etc. Then John E. Risley, a good looking young man, formerly of Sullivan county, clerk of the court, arises, armed in the same style, and reads the minutes. The court then calls the list of at torneys ; each, armed a.s before stated, arises and answers to his name. The jury are then called, every one of whom comes in with a revolver swinging to his side, and in this condition are instructed and sent to their room. And after all their court is a perfect farce, and their trials but mockery of justice. The fault, I to slumber since It has been talked about and however, is not in the ofticers of the court, for they pressed, until the probability of its completion is are faithful and fearless in the discharge of their : greater at present than was that of thn construc dnties. But the difficulty rests here : the iurors. ! tion of a rail way from tlie Mississippi to the At- the criminals and witnesses are all Mormons, and for this reason, it is impossible to enforce the law, and it is nonsense to undertake to do any thing to the contrary. A Heart Comforter. Is there a more ex quisite pleasure in this world of ours t han is found in giving comfort to the sad .' For this is a world of sorrow a vale of tears. And he who can go to the wounded heart with words of consolation, has a power and a mission that angels might en vy - . - ... . .1 I here is no pleasure more exquisite in this world of ours, than is found in the assurance that every sheet that goes from our hands may carry w-ords of peace to the troubled, joy to the mourn er, and hope to the d is pairing. We meet with a gem of holy verse, or a happy thought of some warm-hearted author, or a stri king incident, in' the experience of another, or a simple anecdote that has a blessing in it; we seize it and set it here and think of it on its rounds of mercy; lighting upon this cottage. warming this breast, making a smile of gladness on this cheek, and drying up tears in these eyes; j and so going" onward over the whole land upon this errand of blessing. There is great power in words in words fitly spoken. It is a great gift to be able to speak with such power as to be a minister of good to the poor, aud the weary, and the suffering. It is a joy to the proud men tJ be able to lead, and rule and overcome, but there is no joy in the world great er than to know that we are doing good to these who are in need of cood. To be a heart comfort er, in a world of wounded hearts, is a privilege to reconcile a man to a thousand ills, and make him willing to be anything for the sake of Him who wept at the grave of a friend and restored him to a loving sister. v LATER FROM MEXICO. , New Orleans, March 7 Advices were re ceived yesterday from Northern Mexico., report ing that Caravajal was seeking American aid for Juarez; and that Miramon has ordered Cor tina to bold oat till M&reh, when ho would re ceive reinforcements. TH,E GHOST OF A PRIEST IXTERUPTS 1 HE MASS AND ADDRESSES THE CON GREGATION. A. remarkable story is current in Pittsburgh ana otner parts of western Pennsylvania. It possesses the ellements of the wildest romance, but is religiously believed by verv many persons. w e give it as it was told to us, without, of course, endorsing the occurrences as actual facts. About two weeks ago, in the. village of Lntrobe, in western Pennsylvania, a solemn mass was per formed in the Roman Catholic Church, for the re pose of the soul of a deceased priest. A number of worshippers were in the church at the time. Just as the officiating priest was about to perform the most solemn part of tho rites, his purpose was checked by an nsfonishing appearance. The form of the deceased prient himself appeared in front of the alter, with hand uplifted in a warning manner The officiating clergyman stepped back" when -the ;-ghost!y priest, or priestly trhost, ad dressed his brother in the flesh and the congrega tion. He said they were taking unnecessary trouble to get him out of purgatory. The priest might save his prayers and his penitents their pennies. They could not get him out of purgato ry because he never was in it. Furthermore there was no chance for him to get there, as there never was snch a place as Purgatory. Tt wps all a mistake. He should feel much obliged if thev ! could get him out of the spot where he was, but I that was impossible There were but two places of future existence, one of perpetual bliss and the other of perpetual punishment. Only two privst ever went to Heaven and he was not one of them. He therefore warned them that their masses for repose of his or any other defunct par son's soul were useless. With that monition this remarkable ghost disap peared, and the congregaiion dispersed. On what foundation the story rests is more than we can tell, but there must have been some event to give rise to such an extraordinary re port. Appointment. Mr. Thomas J. Robinson, of this place, has been appointed by the President, and confirmed by the Senate, Professor of Math ematics in the U. S Navy. He will doubtless be assigned to duty at U. S. Naval Academy at An napolis, Md. Air. Robinson was a graduate of our University, of the class of 184'., in which he received the first distinction. Whilst we rejoice that, his personal character and intellectual qualifications are prop f ily appreciated abroad, we shall regret to loose him and his family from our midst. They will leave many warm friends behind them. Fayette ville Ob. The recent case of the Buffalo lady (?) who threw vitrei in the face of a would'nt be suiter, finds a parailell in the following : " Miss A , of Fifth Avenue, administered pounded glass in a bowl of pea-soup, to Mr. B , of Ninth street, from the effects of which he died in great agony. The cause for this terri ble but merited vengeance was that Mr. B , nfter e'ting a philopena with the young lady, re fused to accompany her to the altar We trust that this will teach young men not to trifle with the affections of unprotected females. Gas Works Consumed. The Charlotte gas works have been consumed by fire. The Bulle tin of Mouday says : On Saturday riipdit last, nlmnt fifjoon i5nnofl before twelve o'clock, the alarm of fire was triven and found to proceed from the gas works. The building was destroyed and the tools and fixtures were materially injured 1 he loss is! estimated at from twelve to fifteen hundred I dollars. There are various reports as to the origin of the j fire. On application to the Superintendent, we j learn that one of the hands, finding it necessary ; fcc. Agricultural & Do to examine the drip, took with him a torch, which, j mesne Kconomy, bein- nlaced on the crnnnd. uiifortunatelv com- ! l'l'8 Letties. Lsssys i municated with tar, which soon ignited aud cum- municated witn tne gas. The fire was. no doubt, purely accidental, but the result of a want of proper" precaution. The inconvenience to the citizens will be seriously felt, for it will be some thiity days, perhaps, before the. damage can be properly re paired. The Pacific Railroad axd Mh. Calhoun. At the first Southern Commercial Convention held in Memphis, nearly twenty years ago, if we remember rightly, Mr. Calhoun, who was presi dent of the body, .said in the course of his speech on taking the chair, that in twenty j'ears they would be talking about building a railroad from the Mississippi to the Pacific as they were then talking about building one from the Atlantic to the Mississippi. The idea whs looked upon as little more than a chimera Texas was not then annexed, and the project of a railroad fiom Mem phis to the Atlantic had not received the form of a real, solid enterprise. It was regarded as a mat fer pertaining to the distant future and its accom plishment rather wished for than expected But the sequel has shown how far that great man. whose perceptions were ahead of the times in which he lived how far he was behind in the conception of events that were even then crowding in upon the tfTrehold of to-morrow. Half the time to w hich he referred had not ex pired before different routes for a railroad to the Pacific had been explored and partially surveyed. The " talk"' about building a railroad from the Mississippi to the Atlantic, had been conveitod into a substantial idea that is now realized, and the conception of a road to the Pacific, then just j beginning to be discussed, has never been allowd lautic at the tiuie Mr. Calhoun spoke. Like all gig.intic undertakings that have ever engaged the minds of men, it has met with oppo sition, has had to encounter l he doubts of the wise and the sneers of the foolish. But it is now iu the safe way of accomplishment. NOTICE. linuk of Commerces at Xfwbcrn.
