After the settlement of the colony of North Carolina, its in habitants were remarkable for their love of indepen dence and their capacity to govern themselves. As our character as a frank and candid, quiet and welt ordered and industrious community is so fully es tablished,we can, without any feelings of uneasiness, or sensitiveness recur to such statements as these. In the year 1731 the colonial governor Burnington; in an official dispatch to his home government says : " The people of North Carolina are neither to be cajoled or outwitted. ' Whenever a governor attempts to effect anything by this means, he will lose . his labor, and show his ignorance. - " The inhabitants of North-Carolina are not in dustrious, but subtle and crafty; always behaved insolently to their Governors; some they have im prisoned, others they have drove out of the country, and at other times set up a Governor of their own choice, supported by men and arms." When the dividing line was run between Virginia and North-Carolina, one of the commissioners ap:. pointed by the former State, William Byrd, in his " History of the Dividing Line," says : The bor derers hid it to heart if their land was taken in Vir ginia, they chose much rather to .belong to Carolina where they pay no tribute to God or to Caesar." As he may have felt a pique against the borderers and jealousy towards a State preferred to his own, bis words ought probably to be accepted with grains of allowance. We will therefore take only half the statement to be true, the Intter half, for those who are readiest to resist the demands of an usurping despot, are the most likely to render the homage due to the Creator and the Governor of the Universe. We should naturally expect such a people to be aniong the first and boldest to resist those aggres sions of Great Britain which led to the Revolution. Accordingly in the year 1755, on the passage of the stamp act, Col. John Ashe, Speaker of the House of Commons of North Carolina, informed Gov. Tryon that the law would be refuted to every extent. On the arrival of the British sloop-of war. Diligence, In the Cape Fear, he and Col. Waddell, at the head of a body of the citizens of the counties of New Han over and Brunswick, marched down in a body, frightened the Captain of the ship so that he did not attempt to land the stamp paper, seized her boat, and carried it, with flag flying, to Wilmington, and the whole town was illuminated that night. On the next day they marched to the Governor's House, and demanded that Gov. Tryon should desist from all attempts to execute the Stamp Act, and obliged him o deliver up Houston, the Stamp Master for North-Carolina. Having seized upon him, they car red him to the public market house and compelled him to take an oath never to attempt to execute his office as Stamp Master. It was nearly ten years after this act, that the Boston tea party assembled, when a number of the citizens, disguised as Indians, went on board a ship and threw overboard the tea imported in her. This latter act was done in the night time, by men in dis guise, and was directed against a defenseless ship. But the North-Carolina movement, ten years earlier in point of time, occurred in open day, and was made against the Governor himself, ensconced in his palace, and by men who scorned all disguise. While both deeds were meritorious on account of their daring, and also the motives of the actors, that at Boston partook of the stealthy manner of the cautious fox, while the, North-Carolina act resem bled the lofty bearing of the lordly lion, whose defi ant roar sends challenge loud to all that oppose his way. And yet the one occurrence has been lauded " unsparingly, while the other is scarcely known out of the limits of our State. Historians, whose main object has been to elevate other States, have ignored it, because of its brilliancy. ' It has been suggested, however, by way of excuse for this, that the tea movement led immediately to a collision of arms. But will any man pretend that a blow which merely irritates an adversary and causes him to make an attack, is more meritorious than one so decided as to overawe him and compel him to retreat ? The same spirit continued to animate our people, and led to the uprising of the Regulators to resist the oppressive taxation and exactions of the colonial government. It was on the 16th day of May, 1771, that the battle of the Alamapce was fought, in which more than three thousand men were engaged. Here occurred the first collision of arms between Grwat Britain and her rebellious colonies, and here was shed the first blood of the American Revolution. Though superiority of arms and discipline enabled Governor Tryon to win the victory, yet such was the terror inspired by the movement, that he required the peo ple, in all the middle and upper parts of the State, to be drawn out in batallions, and to take an oath of allegiance to the British government. In addition to this, the prominent men were most suspected, were notified from time to time to appear at each court, and renew the oath to sustain the govern ment. As the contest waxed warmer and warmer between the colonies and the mother country, the spirit of our people continued to rise. And on the 20th of May, 1775, the citizens of Mecklenburg, more than a year in advance of the general Declara tion, proclaimed Independence, and, at a subsequent meeting, perfected their system of government. The conduct of her sons throughout the whole struggle, vindicated the opinion expressed by Lord Cornwallis and Col. Tarlton, that Mecklenburg was the most rebellious county in America. Such a county was a fitting birth place for Andrew Jack Bon. As the first blood of the Revolutionary contest had been shed in our State, so in it the first victory was won, in the well fought battle of Moore's Creek, on the 27th of February, 1776. Nor were the exer tions of our citizens confined to their own territory. Gen. Francis Nash and Col. Edward Buncombe gave up their lives on the soil of Pennsylvania, and at the battle of Eutaw the North Carolina militia main tained the fight, in the open field, against a greatly superior force of British regulars, so long,' and so obstinately refused to retire, when ordered by their officers, that the commander-in-chief declared that their conduct would have done honor to Prussian veterans. And when the gloomy cloud of British domination was moving steadily on from" the north east like the dark shadow of an eclipse, it paused before it reached our western border. The 'tide of our enemies' success recoiled from the base of those " unknown mountains," and became refluent when Ferguson fell. Soon after, in the bloody battle of Guilford, the power of Cornwallis, the ablest and most dangerous of our enemies, was broken, and he retired, with drooping spirits, to the sea side to be come a captive. .. That North-Carolina declined, for neatly two years after its formation, to become a member of our pre sent Union, is in no respect to her discredit. Hav mg profited by her own experience, she was slow to part with the right of absolute self-government, and finally, only adopted the Federal Constitution, after important amendments had been made. And should t, from any cause, fail to afford her that protection to which she ia entitled, the spirit which animated her early colonists, which , resisted the Stamp Act and other British aggressions, and rose still higher at Mecklenburg and Kind's Mountain, will in h ready to vindicate the great principles of civil lib- l. mat she may be spared the necessity of new exertions to that end, ought to be the wish of all her sons. The whole human race is largely interested W- the result of our present system, and should it pe successful, there will be presented such an Em pire of confederated sovereignties as has never yet .icu ou me iace or tne globe. , ;. ?

The sixth annual fair of the North Carolina State Agricultural Society closes to-day (Friday.) .We designed furnishing to our readers, in this issue, a full account of the proceedings in connec tion with the Fair, at the Fair grounds, Capitol, &c, but finding it impossible to crowd all we have to say, as well as Mr. Clingman's address, into one issue, we have resolved to defer till our next all but the address, which we present in full. To speak of the Fair in general terms, we may ssy that it has been eminently successful. The ex hibition, intrinsically, was equal to . any .of , former years numerically considered, it was much superi or: The attendance, particularly on Wednesday and Thursday, was never before so large. The weather was almost as good as could have been desired rather dry, perhaps. The receipts, we understand, compare very favorably, whilst the membership shows a decided increase. . We will not stop to particularize ' Our next issue will contain a very full report, including the list of premiums awarded. We need hardly invite attention to the address of Hon. T. L. Clingman. It was delivered yesterday (Thursday) and was attentively listened to by the largest audience ever seen on the Fair grounds. Mr. Clingman has fully sustained his reputation on this occasion. The address is spoken of in the highest terms. Statesvillk Celebration. The completion of the Western North-Carolina RaiVoad from Salisbury to Statesville, was celebrated in the latter place on Thursday last by speeches, public dinner, military parade, firing of cannon, &c. There was a very large number of persons present from Iredell and the surrounding counties. Five military companies were in attendance two from Salisbury, one from Hillsboro', and th Hornets' Nest Riflemen from Charlotte, and the Iredell Blues. Ex-Gov. More head, of Greensboro', and Gen. J. A. Young, of Charlotte, addressed the audience ; after which a bountiful dinner was partaken of by all who desired to eat Those who were present say there was enough for all, and that the committee of arrange ments deserve credit for the satisfactory manner in which they discharged their duties. Prize Money and the "Echo." The Washington States' refers to the entire misapprehension of the case in the statements made in reference to the dis position of the slaver " Echo," and the amount of the prize money accruing to those who were direct ly instrumental in her capture. It points out the course which will be taken in the matter, upon in formation derived from the most authentic source: The United States Marshal for South-Carolina gave Lieut. Maffit a receipt for S96 Africans, for which number $25 per head, amounting in all to $7,600, will be awarded as prize-money to the flag officer of the home squadron and the officers and crew of the Dolphin. This sum will be distributed as follows: The flag-officer receives one-twentieth, the commanding officer of the Dolphin two twen tieths, and the balance is distributed to the other officers and the crew of the Dolphin according to rank and rate. It is doubted, however whether the flag officer (Commodore Mcintosh) is entitled to one twentieth, as he was absent on leave, from his sta tion at the time of the capture. This question will doubtless be determined by the Attorney-General. After the prescribed legal forms have been gone through with and the Echo has been libelled, she will be sold at public auction. Half of the proceeds will be taken by the Government, according to a special provision of law, and devoted to the naval pension fund ; the other half will be divided among the officers and crew of the Dolphin, according to i the same rule by which the per capita prize money i is distributed. Eighteen of the Africans died after ' their capture by Lieut. Maffit. For these the per capita of twenty-five dollars will not be paid, but ! only for those who were delivered alive into the ! bands of the United States Marshal. ' Re Election or Mayor Swann. or Baltimore. 'I On Wednesday last an election was held in Balti j more for Mayor and Counciimen. Mayor Swan, the American candidate, received 24,000 votes, and,! Shtt, the Locofocs candidate received 4,859 bwann s majority, 19,149. In the first Branch of the City Council. 19 Amer icans were elected, and one Democrat and in the Second Branch, nine Americans and one Democart. Reguter. The only reply which it is necessary for us to make to the Rerjuter will be found in the .following arti cle for the Baltimore Sun, a neutral paper : Baltimore Municipal Elections. We subjoin the formal record of a vote taken yesterday, under the authority of a municipal election. The returns from the polls are the most faithful indication of the character of the whole affair. The text and cemmen tary are. there to be seen at a glance. The transac-' lions of the day are already familiar to many of our citizen, and we have little disposition to recapitu late them here, or descant upon them. At a very early hour the fact was current throughout the city, " tnat tne pons were in possession of a class of men who could only be encountered upon equal terms by a resort to violence and the use of arms. Conse quently all attempt to poll an opposition vote was abandoned. At about noon a handbill was issued by Col. Shutt, announcing his withdrawal, and from that time until the polls closed, the vote, we pre sume, was exclusively for Mr. Swann. This publication having been generally distributed about the several polls, and posted in various parts of the city, had the effect to retire what few of Mr. Shutt's friends were endeavoring to maintain their ground, and to leave the affair of the day uncontest ed to the close. ' The following is the result of the vote for Mayor in the twenty wards of the city : Swann, (America,) 24,008; ShutL (Independent,) 4,859. Baltimore, Oct 20.

The London Times, in an able article on.the power of the Press, says that the potency of a newspaper lies in the fact that it is a newspaper, and not a sheet of-tales and essays like the French journals. ''The public Press,' says the Titne$, "has purchased the right of express ing its opinions by the facilities which it bas given every man for forming bis own." As to the favors which the Press can confer, the Times rays: "What is the Red Eagle Or the Legion of Honor to a para graph of praise which is repeated in hundreds of daily, weekly and monthly sheets, and makes ome bumble name a household word from Cornwall to Shetland, in Toronto and Melbourne, hi Calcutta and Hong KoDfc--V,;,'-.;.;. i, Correspondence of the Livingston (Ala.) Democrat H " ..:. Charlotte, N. G, July 31; '58. 1 . Dear Democrat :The country from Raleigh' to Charlotte is beautifully undulating, dotted with flourishing villages and tasteful private residences ana in a nign state or cultivation. It is conceded on all hands, to be the finest portion of North-Carolina, both in variety of scenery and fertility of soil. It well deserves this commendation. The signs of improvement are visible at every step on this route.' You feel that you are in the midst of a people who are fully imbued with the spirit of the age and de termined not to lag behind their neighbors. Taste ful and comfortable mansions peep out from their leafy nests upon you trees bending under large, luscious apples invite you to pause and partake of the tempting fruit the mountain brook, and hill side spring hole cooling; the men wear that indes cribable air which always betokens those who are getting along in the world. It is a treat to travel through this portion of the State. I came on to North-Carolina with no notion that I would like the State ; from boyhood I had beard' her sneered at and ridiculed without measure or stint, as old Rip Van Winkle, locked in the erohrace of sleep and ignorance. But I found she had wa kened from her. slumbers, aud set about the devel opment of her agricultural and mineral resources with the liveliest vigor. Her people are excellent specimens of the human race brawney and stout, with broad and open countenances, that put you at your ease about your throat and your purse. There are poverty, boorishness and ignorance here, as well as everywhere on this, globe, but they are the ex ceptions to the rule not the rule itself. Laugh at and deride her as much as you may, the "old North State," with the persimmons, buckle-berries, tar, pitch and turpentine, which usually form appurte nances to the picture drawn of her, is bound to be a great State. The soil from Raleigh to Charlotte is a deep red clay. In places the surface of "the ground is almost covered with boulders, some of these are quite large and others are small. The principal growth is red oak, post-oak and hickory, on the hills, and on swampy land, the same growth with a sprinkling of sweet gum. I do not think I saw a dozen pines. The crops looked very well indeed on this entire route. I was informed by several well informed gentlemen that much greater breadth of land was planted in cotton in North Carolina this year than ever has been known ttetore. This increase of the breadth of land planted in cotton, is imputable to the improved means of transportation and the pre sent price of. cotton both of them being powerful stimulants of production. The North Carolina Railroad Company has erect ed some splendid machine and work shops be tween Raleigh and Salisbury, and built up a village that may compare with any village in the South, in general loveliness. The workshops are large brick buildings, and the houses in which the workmen live, are neat and tasteful brick cottages. I counted some ten of these cottages, all erected by the Company for the use of their employees. They are situated in the midst of a most beautiful giove of oaks and looked the very picture of cleanliness and contentment. Greensborough is noted as the seat of several lit erary institutions of rising importance. The air is pure and bracing, and students might reasonably count upon an exemption from fevers while at these Fchools. Salem is not more than a dozen miles from Greensborough, and despite all the efforts that have been made to supplant i in the public confidence. it is still a full match for its more youthful and showy rivals. There is something indeed remarkable about the school at aalem. it was a prosperous and flour isbing Female School, more than a quarter of a cen- v . . . tury ociore its musnroom competitors were ever thought of. Many of the most accomplished (thor oughlv and practically edueated) women whom I bave ever met, received their education at this time- honored institution, and their "daily walk and con versation" was the most eloquent testimony of the efficiency of their "nursing mother." I like Salem because it does not immolate whatever is practical on the altar of show and pretension, and because the principals keep on hand ro lazy and dissipated 'sons to hunt up rich wives from amongst the pupils. Charlotte is one among the oldest towns in the State, and is quite pleasantly situated. It contains some very nice stores and tasteful private residences. The produce of the section of country around Char lotte has heretofore gone to swell the trade and com merce of Charleston, S. C , but as a direct railway communication has been auspiciously opened to Beaufort, on the Atlantic, a much better harbor than Charleston, there ran be but little doubt that much the largest portion of this produce will in future find its way to Carolina City. The harbor of Beaufort nas nereioiore oeen so mucn isolated irom the pro ducing portion or tne state, as never to have attract od the attention due to the important advantages of its location, satety and deptb or water. The rivers of North-Carolina are full of shoals near the sea, and as they receded, they become still more unfit for purposes of navigation by reason of falls. The con sequence of this lack of natural channels of trade.' was long felt to be a serious clog upon the prosperity of the State. Norfolk and Charleston sought to draw the products of the State to their own ports, and to a great extent were successful. Nearly all of the exports of North Carolina were shinned to Charles ton or Norfolk, and thence consigned to coastwise ports or to foreign markets, so that persons living out ot tne state and drawing their information from commercial statistics, possessed no adequate concep tion euner oi me amount or value oi ner exports aiig vpviimg mi s vuiiiuiuiiivauuii Willi oeauiurt liar' bor will produce a marked change in this respect, The shipment of produce to Charleston will decline and finally cease. The State will soon be reticulated with railways, and these will all converge to Beau fort as to a common centre. The superiority of Beaufort Harbor over Charleston is too vast and undisputed to be much longer ignored. A railroad is nearly completed from Carolina City to Knoxville, Tennessee, and when completed produce may be snipped to the former without any breaking oi duik or loss from renandling, Charlotte is situated in Mecklenburg county where the Mecklenburg Declaration of Independence, which in point of time, preceded our own immortal "magna charts," was adopted and published to the world. The' consecrated ground where the battles or Alamance and the Uowpens were fought, is in the same section of the State. There our forefathers poured out their life-blood as a free libation ' upon the altars or liberty. North Carolina has a past one was among tne loremnst in resistance to the usurpations of the parliament ard bore hersell right gaiiantiy tnrougn an tne trying scenes oi the revo. lution, when patriotism was something more than a' string, or rounded periods. It may not be generally known, that in 178S, when the present federal Con stittition was submitted to the States for ratification. iNortn uaroima refused to lend it her sanction. This refusal was in the main occasioned bv the &p- I recension tnat tne rights or the States were not ad equately secured and guarded, and that the tenden cy of the Constitution was towards consolidation. She proposed several amendments, intended to ex plain doubtful ph razes, to define the powers vested . in the General Government with more precision and to throw greater safeguards around the sovereignty of the States, which was thought to be endangered by such an accumulation of power in the General ' Government. , Other States had felt a similar ap prehension) Vut they wanted the courage 'to' isolate themselves from, the Union. North .Carolina deem ed it the 6afest policy to demand that the desired amendments be incorporated in the Constitution be fore she acceded to the Union. She remained out of the Union in honorable isolation for some eight or ten months,' nor did she accede to it until the ' most -important amendendmcnts suggested by her were substantially incorporated in the Constitution. She deserve a hones fur her stern devotion to State' Sov ereignty at that early period, when consolidation was a deduction of "ieison and not as now, a; dem'-t ODStnted and painful fact, Their fears are fulfilled.. The Federal Government bas swallowed up: every:'; ve8tage of State sovereighty. The Federal Govern- ? ment is all in all the Alpha and Omega of power' and honors, whilst the States are mere corporation! f so "poor that none do them reverence.' . 1 like to dwell upon these revolutionary, reminis- ences to recall the labors of our forefathers to. es-, tablish the principals of free government and to catch if possible, the inspiration of . pare . patriotism that animated thexr hearts. . We can never be en- slaved so long as we go back to Our revolutionary Rtrnro M f nr pTnnci hnng rf th nnnoinlci nf onlirht- enod freedom and examples of unselfish patriotism May it be many years before , we cease, to revere these old landmarks. The convention which refus ed to ratify the Federal Constitution in 1788, assem bled in Hillsboro. North Carolina is also alive to the importance : of education, and her system of Public Schools is in tbe f "full tide of successful experiment". The Report of her State Superintendent, shows in a nutshell what immense benefits are to be expected from her sys tem of Public Schools. I venture the assertion, that in this respect, North Carolina is doing fully as tnnch to elevate her people as any of her hister States. She could not have chosen a more effectual mode of elevating and refining, her citizens than that of pla- cing betore them the means of education free or charge. It is beyond all question tbe best invest ment of her funds that she could have made, and one that will yield a larger dividend than all others. Many a poor boy thus educated by tbe splendid mu nificence of his State, will shine in tbe council halls of the nation with resplendent lustre, and by the . ung ninety oi nis lime snea lustre untarnisnea upon his affectionate "nursing mother." Tbe Public Schools which she has endowed will do more to en lighten, elevate and dignify her children than all her magnicent lines of railway. Human works will per ish, but the stamp of intellect once impressed upon a nation will survive even the fall of the nation itself. The literature of Greece and Rome is still the pride of the world. Qcis. We have heretofore neglected to notice the indus try manifested at the Wachovia Mills in this place, during the past summer. For a greater portion of the season, the puffing and clanking of the engine and machinery have saluted our ears at all hours of the day and night, and it is with no little degree of town pride that we chronicle the extensive business which has been done at this establishment, surpass-- ing all others of the kind in the State, for the twelve months past. We have ben informed by Mr. It. L. Patterson, tbe proprietor, that he bas sent off on an average two hundred barrels of flour per week, for the last seven weeks, making in all fourteen hun dred barrels of flour in less than two months.
