We learn that the Postmaster ct this
city has obtained from the couDty
Commissioners permission to remove
the present Postofiiee building on the
Court House lot. The Postofiiee will
then be nearly opposite the Yarborough
House. We presume that, as a matter
of course, the Department at Washiug
tou will consent to this arrangement, as
it will save a considerable amount in
rent to the Government while the new
Postofiiee building is being erected.
The. quiet of the city was broken in
upon yesterday about the hour of 1 p. m.
by the dread alarm of fire being sound
ed. The cause was soon discovered to
be the burning ol the kitchen of Dr.
W. II. Martin, on Hillsboro' street near
St. Marv's. The rooi had caught from
spaiks from the chimney, but the fire
was entinguished before any material
damage was- done. The fire depart
ment turned out promptly, but happily
their eryicts were not needed,
Wp learn that our citizens are slow in
engaging lock-boxes in the city Postof
iiee. Tht se boxes would certainly be a
great convenience to business men. We
lcaru that the Postmaster will order and
put up the boxes if fifty can be engaged.
The charge will be 3 for the box.
They will be the propeity of the person
ordering the box, and can be sold or
transferred at any time. The box rent
will be $5 per annum. The use ot lock
boxes will serve to decrease the "rush"
which takes place whenever the doors
are oneucd, and will enable the holders
of lock-boxes to deposit their letters and
take out their mails at all hours.
RALEIGH, N. C.
"Ouk State Capitol." The Hills-
boro Recorder in its last issue has the
following comments .upon our recent ar
ticle in relation to the Capitol building,
which we take pleasnre in reproducing
in order that the "tiuth of history" may
be vindicated :
"The Raleigh News has of late pre
sented some sketches of the Capitol at
Raleierh which furnish much entertain-
g and useful information. Ave are
glad to see the effort. 'to recall and fix
the incidents and transactions of a gen
eration fast vanishing from the scene,and
giving permanency to acts which exist
now only in oral tradition.
The News has fallen into the com
mon error in connection with the pave
ment of the South passage of the build
ing, and ascribes it to inherent delect
in the material. This is incorrect, and
docs injustice to stone naturally as en
during aa.anv in the other part9 of the
structure. M'he "Raleigh" Granite" geo
logically considered, constitutes a dis
tinct formation, with characteristics
peculiar to itself, one of which is feld
spar in undue proportion, llns ele
ment has' a. tendency to undergo destruc
tive change by chemical action. It is
acted' u pop with great vigor by any
caustic alkali, such as potash, or lime.
Many persons are not too .old to re
member the great celebration in Raleigh
in June, 1840, on the completion of the
Capitol, and of the Raleigh and Gaston
Road, both events being celebrated in
the same r Jubilee. The doors of Ral
eigh were all thrown open. Immense
crowds were drawn into the City from
all the surrounding country, and Vir
ginia poured forth its beauty and lash
ion. Entertainment and provision on
the most bountiful scale were prepared.
On the occasion of the great dinner.
which was one ol the striking, features
of the festivity, one place was found in
sufficient. One of tbe dinners was
spread in the warehcuse of the Raleigh
and Gasion Road, another was hud in
t;:e passageof the Capitol, extending
troni the JNorth to the bouth door. At
the South end where the carving was
principally done, through hurry and
care!esiuess,much grease 'was. spilt upon
the floors, and after the feast unsightly
stains marred the beauty of the newly
finished pavement. To counteract this,
and in ignorance of the character of the
stoue, the flooring was thickly covered
with quick-linie,which not only brought
away the grease, but the substance of
the rock with iC The mischief was
done at. once, and when the Legislature
sat iu tlie building for the first time, in
the following November the South
passage floor presented nearly the sanie
appearance that it does at-thisdav,
allowing that the wear has not been the
gradual effect off time,but sudden chem
ical action."
Origin of the cld North State.'
From the Hillsboro Recorder we take
the following interesting account of the
origin of our State song, known as the
"Old North State :"
"The Presbyterian has recently under
taken to trace the origin of a song
which may be called the Nat local air of
iNortli Uorolina. 1 Here ate some errors
in the statement which we design to
correct. The authorship is rightlv
giv-
en. out there is a rnistaKe as to the uio
tive or occasion of the composition.
As we were nrtsent 1:1 Uaieigu at ti e
time, our version may be relied on, acd
it will be sustained by the recollection
of others.
Upon the occasion of the completion,
of the Raleigh and Gaston llailroad, and
of the new Capitol in June 18-40, the
Halls of the Capitol1 were thrown open
tor the entertainment of the numerous
guests, aod victors to the city. The
Senate Chamber was appropriated to
dancin" and on two successive nights
magnificent balls were enioyed in that
room, the well known Frank Johnson,
with his exhilirating band, furnishing
the music. The Hall of the "House ot
Commons." was appropriated to prom-
enaders, and lor their enjoyment, a
German harpist anei wife were employed
to play, i heir names were Canderbeck.
Une oi the airs made a strong im
pression upon the now venerable Mrs.
James Tavlor. She was so carried
away with it, that she called upon
Judge Gaston, who was always an in
mate of her house during the sessions
ol the Supreme Court,to compose words
atlaotedto the fascinatiug air. - Judge
G. readily entered into the spirit ot the
humor, and produced, almost impromp
tu, the lines which became ac once upi
versallv known and popular. It .cannot
be said that they possess much poetical
merit, yet they were so hearty, so full
of Stale pride and lofty patriotism, that
they struck a chord to which every
heart at once rebounded.
It is possible that the Uerman may
have uttered the blessing upon our
State, which furnished the key note to
Judge Gaston's composition, but we
had always hearcbiind believed-that the
author was left entirely free to the in
spiration of his bwn genius."

Clean Up. As will be seen from the
following from the Chief of Police.
house-keepers and lot owners are called
upon to put their premises in cleanly
order. It Is to be hoped that this warn
ing will be at once heeded and acted
upon, in the general health during the
summer months, depends in a great
measure upon prompt work in this di
rection :
By an Ordinance of the City of Ral
eigh, it is made my duty to see that all
fi'th and refuse matter liable to breed
siCKness, tve, is removed Dy owners
from all lots within the city limits.
This is, therefore, to give notice that I
shall immediately make a rigid inspec
tion ot all premises within the city, and
shall strictly enforce the ordinance in
regard to the same. Owners of premises
will save themselves trouble and the
payment of the fines prescribed for neg
lecting or refusing to do so, by having
their back-yards and lots, cleaned
immediately, and all refuse matter antl
other faith removed.

lien's
Strike &c.
Nilv York, April 9. A Madrid
letter to the Worlds says, that Deputy
Garcia Ruiz inveighed forcibly against
the United States, in rhc late debates
on slavery, saying that Spain might as
well ask England to initiate a reform
in the East Indies as for the United
States to advise a release ot slaves by
Spain in the Antilles, after a long tirade
against the course of anglicizing the
American continent, pursued by tbe
United States, he concluded by saying
he would rather see Spain in power of,
Charles the Seventh than divided
among the English, French,Portuguese.
and American.
An attcmot to elect two school trus

A special irom the camp, near the

get presents from Commission.
Another battery reached the camp
on the 7th. Col. Mason's com-

eastward of Capt. Jack's camp, and sig

been estublisheel. Boats Wave been put

the camps is frequent.
The gas men and police came into
conflict last evening and alter a short
and sharp tussle the policemen were
victorious, The strikers made a dem
onstration on the Manhattan Gas Works
on the 10th Avenue side,but the Jattack
ing party was repulsed with but little
damage liallying, a rush was made tor
17th street entrance, but the police
quickly appearing there, the strikers
were overawed and retired to a safe
distance, where they had a consultation,
and the ponce say obtained
arms, subsequently the wuole lorce or
strikers were massed, and a rush was
made, that the police might be taken by
surprise and an entrance gained. The
police were on the alert, however, apd
routed the gas men, many of whom had
bruised heads and well belabored bodies.
Pistols were used on either side. It
was understood that attacks were made
on the works so that the valve room
might be gained and the gas shut olT,
so that the citizens generally mi3ht be
inconvenienced and made to sympathize
with the strikers. During the conflicts
outside the works, there was great ex
citement inside. The men were armed,
and expressed a determination to pro
tect themselves.
