Still Harping,"
Our amiable cotemporary of the Beaufort Jour
nal has ignored the subject of " Deep Water and
Small Brigs " and has commenced the old tunc of
" a harp of a thousand strings "the Newbern
Directory injustice to Beaufort Harbor," fcc.
Now every child that has ever read the Journal
is familiar with all these things, as set forth by
that paper, and though the " Deep Water " is a
shallow subject wo preferred it infinitely; to the
"harp of a thousand strings "alias, the "New
Directory." All that gasconade was met, refuted
and buried at tho Stockholders' meeting last June
the libellous petitions and communications to
the Internal Improvement Hoard and to the Gov
ernor included. But the Journal says :
"Had the editor confined himself to a statement of
his opinion we might have permitted it to puss with
out comment leaving to hint the unenviable distinc
tion of discarding tho views of a Caldwell, a Matlit,
a Gwyiiu, a iluwks, and a host of other men of intel
ligence who had given to this harbor a careful ex
amination, and who had attested their appreciation
of its capacity and eligibility, and of substituting
therefor the prejudiced assumptions of a few by whom
the editor found himself surrounded."
For some of the above names we have much
respect and veneration, however firm-y convinced
we may be that the State would have been better
off had .the foot of ".a Gwynn" never been set
upon its soil. A an evidence of the soundness
of our position refer to the circuitous location of j
tho N. C. Railroad. But these, venerable men are
all mortal and all fallible, for nearly two years ago
we heard one of them predict the speedy concen
tration of a vast amount of capital, from other
States, at tho eastern terminus of this road, which
prediction has not and never will be verified. .
A to the revenue from tho lower part of the
road, we answer that our information is based en
tirely almost on observation. We know from
what wo seo that there is but very little travel
on the Road East of Newbernduring 8or 9 months
in the year, and we know too that freight trains
frequently pass up and down the entiro 35 miles
without freight enough to pay for tho wood con
snmed by the engine which leads the train.
These things we know to be so for they comeun
(!r our eyes. We have not called upon the of
ficers of the road for statistical information, pre
ferring to leave a meddlesome interference with
their business to the editor of the Journal and
others who were disappointed at the turn thinss
took last June, and who have not yet recovered
from the chagrin produced by that result. Pro
bably if they could secure a Goldsboro' President
and a Morehead City Directory they could man
age the road better to suit themselves. But the
people of Craven and Lenoir will continue to ii -bi.t
on having something to say in these matters
We still insist that " the ' Legislature made a
great blunder ia investing a cent of the State's
money in. a road East of Newborn," and we doubt j
not but that body will tako step to remedy that
blunder as far a.s possible, at an early day, espe
cially as there can be no hope that the business
over that portion of the road can ever be increased.
When the Legislnture meets we are confident this
whole matter will be discussed, and then, if
spared, we expect to perform, .is far as possible,
our duty to our section and to the State, as a pub
lic journalist. For the present we have done with
tho subject: if the editor of tho Journal is fond of
the 'music? of his own " organ " he can grind on.
We shall continue to publish the freight re
ceipts from the East at this point ; will the Jour
nal publish the receipts of freight at the terminus?
In that way the public may form some idea as to
the business of the Eastern end of the road.
News- from the L'iut."
For 13 months have Ave tried to get some gen
tleman to give us an occasional letter from More
head City that bur readers might know what is
going on in that locality, but we have never been
able to succeed, and consequently about the only
news we can get from there, is from the gentle
manly conductors on the road, and their we even
give items of news sometimes with the almost
certainty of our informant and ourself being round
ly cursed for it. : "Love thy neighbor as" thyself"
is a wholesome maxim and one which that people
ought to learn. We find the following news item
in the last Salisbury Watchman:
4A fire broke out in Morenead City, a few days
ago. and owing to the lack of ladders, and other ap
pliances for combating flames, must have resulted in
aerious loss of property; but a negro man succeeded,
in some way, of getting on the roof of the building,
and smothered the flames with his clothing. More
head City is improving, not rapidly, but steadily.
About a dozen families have settled there since tLe
1st of January last. They have a church (Metho
dist.) and regular services, and a growing Sabbath
School." 1 '
We suppose the above refers to our Morehead
City it can hardly be that another has been es
tablished this soon on the contemplated road from
High Point through Rockingham. It must have
referred to our " City," and. then only to think it
takes us so long to learn that " a dozen " families
have moved in. Why don't they establish a paper?

' There was but one case tried that seamed to elicit
much interest, which, as we understood, was a civil
a.ction for damage, brought by a proprietor against a
tenant for damages which, it was argued, had been
done to a store house.
- C.'C. Clark, Esq., appeared for plaintiff, and Jas.
W. Bryan, Esq., for defendant. The case was ar
gued with great force and eloquence by both gen
tlemen, and the jury returned a verdict in favor of
defendant.
This same suit was tried once before with a simi
lar result; on that occasion, however, the jury hung
for a considerable time, and on thU occasion one of
the jurors, no doubt thinking that they might hang
again, took the precaution to piepare for emergen
cies befora entering the room, which he did by de
positing a jog of whisky in one poeket and a huge
ginger cake in the other. A man thus qualified could
not fail to come to a riglUeous conclusion.
I
Fearful Death.
Read and ponder the following item from the
Norfolk Day Book, ye who drink poison whisky
as if it were water :
Mania Petu. -A gentleman of middle age was
attacked with delirium tremens. He fought the
surrounding snakes for a few days and then told
his friends that he was dead. He lay stretched
upon his bed for some minutes, when he arose,
walked into another room and complained that
he had forgotten something in his will. He added
a codicil, requesting his employers to take his son
into their employment as his successor in his bus-
ness. He returned to the room, looked upon the
bed and began to rave because his body had been
stolen, asserting thathe left it upon the-bed a few
moments before, and that some of" the attendants
had taken it away. Soou tho stupor came upon
him again, when he laid himself down, and the
tongue that had before so wildly insisted on its
possessor's decease, was stilled in the cold embrace
of death. .
Political. As will be seen by a notice in
another column, the Whigs of Craven are iuvited
to meet at the Court House this evening for the
transaction of business connected with the ap

The Ladies of Philadelphia, Boston, Bal
timore and. New York. " Burleigh," the cor
respondent of the Boston Journal, writing from
Philadelphia, March 7, says:
"In no one thing do Boston, New York, Phila
delphia and Baltimore so much disagree as in ap
pearance of tho ladies as they walk out on the
daily promenade. Boston and Philadelphia are
somewhat alike. The dresses of the ladies are
rich but not showy. In Philadelphia the staid
Quaker look abounds. The ladies are intellectual
looking, but plain. They all have a pale, sallow
look, as if raised in the shade; and as a body they
are far from handsome. A pretty woman on the
sidewalk ot Chestnut street is a rare sight. But
Baltimore is flooded with beautiful women. It
may be in the climate it may be from the style
of dress-it may be because they-no matter what
but the ladies of Baltimore drift along Baltimore
street in droves of beauty, while the decided
showy and often gaudy colors worn attract atten
tion; and this is not in one or two instances, but
dozens and dozens pass you all of one style of
beauty, and the eye is dazzled with the numbers.
But the ladies of New York are heterogeneous.
The crowd that floats along Broadway is immense ;
but no two look alike no two dress alike. The
rich, the poor, the belle, the domestic, the native,
the foreign, the elegant, the homely -all mingle
and blend the picture, so that one only sees a vast
mass of moving creatures, having no distinct form
or character. In dress the New York ladies over
load themselves, and the ornaments seem cum
brous and not elegant. If they wear plumes they
load themselves down like an ostrich. If they
put on furs, they pile them up till they seem like
porters carrying home goods. If they put on jew
elry, l hey wear it as if their husbands manufac
tured the article, and it was needful for them to
become a stand from which it is to be displayed.
The same is seen in the dwellings, where thegau
diness ot the steamboat and the tinsel of the cir
cus seem to be the standard of taste adopted.
The New York ladies could learn a lesson that
would be of great service to them from the ladies
of Boston or Baltimore.

ORIGINAL POETRY.
Indication of-the Age.'
- - BI UC i IGCtESTOS.
Seaa of knowledge on are flowing, V
-.1 Burning error's foot-prints deep ; !
Friendship, love and truth are glowing,
Mighty in thair glorious keep.
Moral sun and stars are beaming -
In the galaxy of mind ; 1
Trom the urn of truth is streaming
Intellectual dews, refined.
Onward, potent and resistless.
Rolls imprcvement'a lofty car ;
Genius, eagle-wing'd and restless,
Sweeps the realms of thought afar.
Thrones are falling, crowns do tumble,
As is heard the shaking souud ;
Ancient fanes of error crumbla
Into ruins all around. - -
Ancient systems are exploded ;
Creeds go down unless they're true;
Justice comes with sceptre loaded,
Bright with mercy's silver dew!
In the halls of legislation
Mercy's thrilling voice is heard ;
Milder grow the codes of nation,
As her golden wings are stirred.
Persecution's dying embers
Fade with superstition's night;
Bigotry is sunk in lumbers,
Shorn forever of her might.
Heavenly pity, sweet and hopeful,
Lads her train of graces bland ;
Dark revenge has ceased to open
Her black portals in our land.
Pure Christianity is waking
- From her sleep of ages long,
And her followers! are taking
Lessons in her endless song f
List ! a harp is softly ringing
On the pure auroral gales,
Lo ! 'tis Charity comes bringing
Treasures for her heavenly pales.
Pure Religion in our borders
Elevates the human soul,
And extends her hallowed orders.
Where tho waves of truth do roll.
Oh ! we witness indications -
Of an age foretv Id by seers,
Wnen God's law among the nations
Brings Adelpha's golden years.
Then all hearts shall be cemented
In the bonds of love divine;
Man, no more by sin demented,
In God's image aye shall shine.
German, N. Y., Feb. 10 1800.
One brotherhood.
Bury in the Keep.
Bury me in the roaring deep.
Where the raging winds do roar;
Where the waves, their nightly revels keep,
And beat again-rt the shore.
Give me a grave in the lonely deep,
Where naught can distract my rest ;
Where the waves will faithful oigies ksep.
That foam above my breast.
Give me a grave in'the briny deep,
Where the raging winds is heard :
That the lone sea gull, as she o'er me sweeps,
May chant my funeral dirge.
There, alone, in the briny deep,
Let me undisturbed lie.
Until the last loud trump shall speak,
To call me up on high. .
Then from my watery grave in the deep,
My renewed form shall arise;
Rush through the waves that around me leap,
To my distant homo in the skies. .

meet the dangers that threaten, as well as those that
may arise ; therefore

" We spent last week and a part of - the week

the mineral deposits of that county was highly

ores. Some veins have been recently discovered
that promises a large yield of an excellent quali

which produce yellow copper and are capable of
yielding a large amount. But with the present
facilities for transportation, they cannot be made
available to any great extent unless 'furnaces be
erected and the ores smelted on the grounds. The
materials for such operations are abundant' and
convenient and we hope to see capitalists take
hold of these properties and bring their valuable
contents into use.'- l , :

THE CHARLESTON CONVENTION SPECU
LA I IOS.
Washington-, March 14. The Charleston Mer
cury of this morning says that the city was in a
ferment, yesterday, in consequence of the recep
tion of despatches from here, that the Central Com
mittee were considering the propriety of chang
ing the place of the Democratic National Conven
tion, mi consequence of the exorbitant charges of
the soulless proprietors of the hotels for board etc.
The Washington correspondent of the N. Y.
Herald reiterates the statement, but as Charles
ton was the place designated by the Cincinnati
Convention it is believed that whatever may be
the views of individual members of the Na
tional Committee, they as a body, have no power
to annul the act of the last nominating Convention.

WHAT CO.v SiTTUTES " A GENTLEMAN."
This question may be re-opened tor discussion,
after a perusal of the following scene," which
took place in the United States House of Repre
sentative, on Wednesday last:
Mr. Van Wyck, of New York
Sir, I will indulge in no unkind remark to wound
the feelings of any man ; but the charge must be
met, and history vindicated, let the consequences
fall where and as they may. One other gentle
man spoke of Massachusetts burning witches in
the ancient times. Does he not know that your
own people burn slaves at the stake, and it seems
to awaken no horror in your minds.
Mr. Reuben Davis of Mississippi, (interrupting)
: I pronounce the gentleman a liar and a scoundrel.
I pronounce the gentleman's assertion false -utterly
false.
Mr. Van Wyck -My time is short, and I hope
not to be interrupted.
Mr. Davis or Miss You have no right to utter
such foul and false slander.
Mr. Gartwcll I rise to a point of order. It is
i'r.ai HO member upon this floor has a right to li
bel the people of any section of the country, and
then deny to the .'Representatives of that people
the right to reply. I pronounce the assertions
made by the gentleman false and unfounded.
(Cries of "order,'.' on tho Republican side )
Mr. Van Wyck-1 have heard such words before,
and I am not to be disturubed or interfered with
by any blustering of that sort. I am not here to li
bel any part of the Union.
Mr. Davis, ot of Mississippi Will you go out
side of the District of Columbia and test the ques
tion of the personal courage with any Southern
man ?
Mr. Van Wyck I travel anywhere and with
out fear of any one. For the first eight weeks of
this session you stood upon this floor continually
libeling the North and the people of thefi ee States
charging them with treason and all manner of
crimes, and now you are thrown into great rage
when I tell you a few facts.
Mr. Davis, of Miss. Mr. Chairman
The Chairman The gentleman frm New York
cannot be interrupted, except by a point of or
der ; and the Chair appeals to gentlemen of the
Committee not to violate the rules of the House.
Che Chair trusts they will not do so.
Mr. Davis, of Miss. I shall observe them, sir,
if others do ; but I certainly will not permit South
ern people to be slandered.
Mr. Van Wyck If gentlemen are so sensi
tive in regard to their own feelings. I ask them
to be as sensative also to the feelings of others.
If they were, we would not have had such whole
sale denunciations of the people of the North
as we had during the first eight weeks of this
session.
Tarboro' Branch Rail Road. We had the
pleasure says the Tarboro Southerner, ofseeingS.
L. Fiemont, Esq., and Mr. II. McRae in our town,
a few days ago, from whom we learned that the
work on oiir Branchy Rail Road was satisfactorily
progressing, and sanguiuo hopes are entertained
of completing it to this town by the 1st July next.
Under the supervision of those energetic and in
defatigable orlicers, ably seconded by the indus
try and perseverance of the Contractors with
about 160 hands, we feel confident of the comple
tion of the Road and Bridge by the 1st Oct. the
time specified in the contract.
The Wilmington Journal says : We notice the
arrival of the brig R. C. Dyer, 34 days from New
port, England, with '2.57 tons of iron for the Tar
boro' Branch of the Wilmington and Weldou Rail
Road.
Found. lu our last issue we announced, that
Mr. A. R. Lauience lost his pocket book between
Statesville and Raleigh, the week previous, con
raining several thousand dollars in bonds and
$150 in cash. Mr. Laurence has. received infor
mation, that the pocket-book was since found six
miles south of Raleigh, where he did not go, and
that the notes are safe but money gone.
In going to Raleigh Mr. L., met in the train, a
person who hailed from the South, but said that
his residence was near Raleigh whero he was
then bound fthey held considerable conversation
in the cars, at night, and afterwards the effects
were missing. The presumption is that this per
son was the thief. IredtJl Express t

THE COPPER TOE!
A Neio Era tn Domestic Economy !
It is well known that Children and Youth usually
wear out their Boots and Shoes at the toe, in a few
weeks sometimes in a few da vs. Buv them with
Mitchell's Patent Metalic Tip,
and you v. ill save Two Thirds of the expense of sup
plying your children with shoes.
This invention enables us to offer to the public
Boots and Shoes, that
Never Bear Out at the Tee;.
We have hundreds of Testimonials from parents
who have bought them, showing, that on the aver
age, one pair of Shoes with the Tip, will for chil
dren, wear as long as three pair withe ut, and for
Misses, Hoys and Youths, they will wear at least
twice as long, while
The Cost is but a Trifle More.
This statement is made with entire confidence? in
its strict truth, as it is based on a careful examina
tion of the Facts, in an experience of more than i wo j
years, which has proved that these Copper Toed I
Shoes, have on an average, worn at leas-t three times I
as long as the old style, aud ft tho co-t is but a i
Trifle more, the importance of this invention to all
having little feet to protect, will at once be seen.
This invention is also important as a protection
ncrainst the cutting of the Prairie Grasses, also for
Miners' and Plantation use, and all occupations
wliere tne toes ot the Boots or bhoea are particular
ly liable to be cut or worn.
