"Tis Utter. to be born Jucky than rich" said some one, whose rwxme we do not now recollect, neither do, wc care, so long as we have enjoyed the privilege of the saying. After some rascal purloined from our co.op our Christmas turkey, wc got mad and fell back on our relations in Peters burg, .where" more than One turkey went the way of all (turkey) ilesh. Having made .this much, on our return home we felt able to invest in a turkey for a New Year's dinner, and accordingly transfercd from Paul Lincke's stall in the marker, a fifteen pound gobler to our coovp at home. Tuesday night, while all in the house was still, likewise the turkey in the coop; probably while we were dreaming of the second choico of our New Year's dish,' (we are a married man,) some rascal, without the fear of our dog Jack before his cye3, invaded the premises and stole therelrom our New Year's turkey. Sadly we gazed upon the vacant ropst the next morn ing, and with a heavy heart came to our office where we recited our misfor tune to a few condoling iriends. The large-hearted Dr. Blacknall of the Yar borough House was one of the number ; brushing a r tear from hjs eye as we ended our sad tale, he hurriedly lclt the office and in a few minutes returned with a drcssecL gobler that weighed just one and a quarter pounds more than the one we lost, adding a few remarks that we did not hear, (after wc got our hand on the turkey) some thing about poor local Editors happy new yearv &c. We got the turkey will eat him to day, smiic and think of the big-hearted doctor. ' Personal Maj. II. W. York, of Chatham, is in the city, stopping at the Yarboro. Gen. T. L. Clingman and N. W.

Yesterday, at 12 m., pursuant to the requirements of law, 'the recently elected State Officers, with two excep tions were qualified and inducted into office. The ceremony took place in the nail of the House of Representatives. , Just before the oath of office was administered to the Governor elcet, Ho a. Tod R. Caldwell, he made the fol lowing brief Inaugural Address : "May it phase Your Honor and fellow citizens of the State of North Carolina : In obedience to the will ; of the people of North Carolina, I appear before you to-day to assume the office of Chief Magistrate of the State of North Caro lina for the next four rears. It has been customaryr icllow citizens, andalmost universally so, that the Governor of the State of North Carolina should be in augurated before the General Assembly 01 iwtn Carolina. On this occasion, however, there is a departure from the general rule, lor. the reason that the Gen eral Assembly is not in session, and the Constitution provides that in that event I shall take my oath before one of the Justices of the Supreme Court. Gentleraen,I accept this honor, chief ly upon the solicitation of friends, and am sorry that I did not prepare myself with a little speech for -them on this occasion. . 1' In assuming this high and responsible office, believe mc, I will ever make it a point of duty to take care of the interest of the people of North Carolina. I do not mean to act the part of the partisan in this office. Of course, where I have patronage to bestow, other thigs being equal,vl shall give such patronage to party friends judiciously and in a man ner consistent with the privileges oi my office. I fshall endeavor to discharge my duties to the best of mj ability. Whoa I cannot fill the office from my own party, acceptably to mystlf, I shall then consider it my duty to select a good man lrom the oppoate party, and I know that every good and true Republican in the State j of North Carolina will approve my determination in tins respect. I hope, however, that I will be able to find in our own party intelligent, well educated and honest men efough to fill these offices, I desire in conclusion to tender to you, and through you, to the ! people of North Carolina, uy most sin- J cere thanks for the generoui manner in w,hich you bestowed your suffrages upon me for the highest office witJiin the gift of the people, and to give the assurrance that in the discharge of siy duties, I shall have an eye singlo to the interests of mj beloved Sf. und- to til her xiti zfryt .rvUhont regard to party- I claim noTmmutxVilrJijust criticism, I bespeak in advante a fair hearing and honest judgment frim the public I am now, may it please your Honor, " ready to take, the, bath of ffice." At the conclusion of the address, Hon. Thomas Settle, Associate Justice of theSupremc Cturt, proceeded to formallv qualify thelfollowing officials: T. IK, Caldwell Governor; D. A. Jenkins, State Treasurer ; T. L. Har giove, Attorney General. Subsequently Hon. S. W. Watts, Judge pf .the Su preme: Court, qualified W. H.

The Treasurer is the only officer of the outgoing Administration who re tains his office, if we may except the Governor, who was elected Lt.

Early this morning the ice broke the steamfers Mountain Boy, Messenger and Grey Eagle loose from the foot of Walnut street wharf and carried them, down on the mail line wharf boat at the foot of Vine street, sinking the Mountain Boy and damaging the other two boats. The Mountain Boy is sunk to her boiler deck and is being held up by ice. She is valued at nine thousand dollars, and is now being wrecked. The Messenger is crowded between the Mountain Boy and Grey Eagle and has both sides and her alter guards broken in and her cylendar cracked. She is in a bad condition and it is very doubtful if she can be saved. Four hundred and fifty tons of cargo are on board of the Messenger. The Grey Eagle has her guards smashed and is crowded on the wharf boat. .The Leona, owned by the Louisville Mail Line Company, was landed a mile or so below the city and is fast in the ice. No coal of any amount was lost here, though several, empty barges moyingbefore 76lock; and has not gorged since, as it is still running.

New I York, Jan. 1 TheT World say3 that several of the Sub -Committee of the Louisiana delegation are still in this City and are daily receiving as surances' that the people of the North are beginning thoroughly to understand their cause and the situation of affairs in Louisiana. They pronounce several tJegrams froni New Orleans, by- way of Washington, which assert thatythe peo ple of New Orleans and Louisiana have quietly acquiesced in the situation u-itrue. ; . .': ." ' y. A. Tribune Washington dispatch says: Some Louisiana liberals' are now in this City discussing the shortest way out of i the political muddle in that State. They say that matters have become so rnjtch mixed up there that they can see no method of remedy except in some- sort of reconstruction. They propose that Congress shall pass a resolution declaring that a Republican form Governmet shall no longer exist in Louisiana, and that it then proceed to order a new election. The ;Sun to day calls upon Congress to make thorough investigation into the Louis iana case when it re assembles. The Sun relutes the assertion that 'tis.useless to investigate the causes ot the quarrel in Louisiana, and says this .disposition to shirk from the discharge of a great duty like that which has arisen in that Statu is an alarming sign of the times.So that to say that a thorough discussion of this Louisiana business will do no good is simpiy an excuse ior neglecting; a duty, whose performance requires skill ana nerve.
