PETTENGILL, & Co., 119 Nassau St, New York, are our authorized agents to receive sub scription and advertising. j Half Sheet.: "We have had an 'order for paper standing long enough to have been filled twice. jThese days of steam and electricity afford very little excuse for the deten tion of articles ordered from our commercial cities. tTtter negligence and downright carelessness is the real cause of the non-receipt of such articles. There is, we regret, this neglect among those whose duty it is to be more punctual, but they knowing that the business passes through one or two other hands, each one seeks to throw the blame on another. We have recently had some of this sort of accommodation our 'self before this matter of our paper. If persons who transact business with such agents would discon tinue, instead of receiving theft palaver in apology, there would be less of such disappointment. "? We are, as yet, somewhat remote from regular Steam boat and Railroad communication and are compelled, to spbmit to such detentions occasionally. Soon, however the Railroad will "be here," when we hope they will be obviated almost entirely. Who goes to the Fair? . Remember, the State Agricultural Fair will open on the I6th inst., and continue four days. Will not Lenoir county, one of the most fertile in soil, abund ant in productions, and in a word, one of the wealthi est in proportion to size, in the State, be represented at the State Fair ? We have enterprising fanners who might present many articles, the growth of their own soil which would command a premium, and they should " put in for the prize." Extensive prepara tions are being made. Railroad fare is reduced to " half rates." There is no excuse for non-attendance that we know of. We respectfully ask the Montgomery (Ala.) Journal what it is doing, in the very article headed ' Georgia Canvass" (and some others) it is taking the Chronicle arid Sentinel "through" for certain things which we admit were wrong. Whatever may be your intention, what ' are you really doing ?. "He that is not for, (if he do anything) is against" We are now speaking of things as they are, hoping that the Editor will not throw himself on his "reserved rights." If he do that, we "are off." We have no returns from the Georgia elec tions. We presume that the K. N's. have been de feated in that state by a large majority.- There is more instability about the Georgia vote than -almost any other state in the Union. So many local, and sectional questions peculiar to that state render re sults uncertain. The Administration party will be very small. Several, if not aU their candidates for Congress repudiate Gen. Pierce's administration. We learn from the New Berne News that the subscription by the Commissioners of New Berne to the Neuse River Navigation Company, has been de cided to be constitutional, and therefore valid by the Supreme Court, all the objections being overruled. The amount was $50,000 we believe. We hope the work will now go on. ' We have just seen a second Card from Gen. Singletary wherein he " now also recollects " that Mr. Barringer went on to say that he (Gen. S.) had mis conceived his purpose," a fact which he states " had escaped his memory." We shall give the letter full next week. . in The Protracted Meeting At Wheat S wamp was continued up to last Mon day, about forty persons were baptized by Rev. J. T. Walsh an$l Josephus Latham". Campbell and PnrcelPs Debate. This is .a Debate on the Roman Catholic Religion, Conducted for eight days in Cincinnati, between A. Campbell, of Virginia, and Bishop Purcell, of Ohio. This 13 an able work, presents both sides of the ques-" tion ; and should be in the hands of all who desire to know what Romanism is. Mr. Campbell, as a deba ter, has no superior, if indeed he has an equal, in the United States. The work can be had of : Dr. John T. Walsh, price $1, or he will mail it and prepay the postage, on the receipt of $1,25. ' - ' 1 For the American Advocate. Internal Improvements. Spring Hru., N. C.

Exceedingly simple. At any rate, we will venture to predict, that it will require all the prudence, timidity &nd fortitude, that can be trumped . - r - l j j. AT J nj . V, ; up in trie next .Liegi&iaiur e, vo resist me snuu wuxui nations that will, we repeat again, be found by the members who hail from counties that have had little or no benefits, from any of all the appropriations that have been heretofore mads from the Treasury of the State, and whose constituents have been goaded into the wildest excitement by their previous defeats, and the continual increase of taxation on their depreciating property. Instead of instructing their representa tives to devise ways and means to assist in bringing up the stock in our present works to par, and thereby make them paying Improvements;;as they most assur edly ought to do and agree, to vote for no more appro priations to works of Internal Improvements until this desirable end is attained. We incline to the opin ion that they will come to the conclusion, of the Sen ate's Committee, that the Only way to have, justice done is to increase the State debt, until we have bor rowed money enough to construct Bail Roads, Plank Roads, and River Improvements, in every nook and corner of State. But perhaps there remain some stub born enough still to question the truth of the con jectures we have made on this subject. If so, we ask them most respectfully, to point to a State in the Un ion, if they can, that has borrowed money and con structed one or more Rail Roads with it, that has not continued to goon from that day to the present hour, to incrrease her debt and extend her roads, even if they have had to sell their bonds at considerable dis count,' unless it be the States that repudiated. Of course these States by that act destroyed their cred it, paralized the engergies and enterprise of their peo ple; their growth and prosperity for years to come, if not forever, and consequently have not increased their liabilities. We are aware that there are but few persons, even amorfg the most intelligent classes In Our country, that entertain a just idea of the immense amount of the aggregate debt that has been contracted by the dif ferent States of the Union and their respective corpo rations, for the purpose of constructing Internal Im provements of different kinds in their borders. So true is this in fact, that we find many making it a matter of boast that America is almost the only gov ernment in the civilized world which is not deeply plunged in debt. So far as it relates to the United State, in its federal capacity, their boasting is well founded ; but so far as it relates to the one and thirty States, of which the Union is composed, it is an abso lute and ridiculous absurdity ; since a large majority of these commonwealths are now deeply if not inex tricably in debt. We hear this bit of bragadocia so frequently, that it is worth while to devote a few mo ments to show its folly, and open the eyes of many, if we can to take some notice of the direction in which we are drifting. In England, France, Austria, and in all other consolidated nations, there is, we observe, but one Exchequer to meet every want of government. There is, consequently, but one National debt. When we say that Great Britain owes more than eight hun dred millions of pounds, or FtfCR-TnocsAxn millions of dollars and the rise, the whole story is told; but if we should assert that the entire debt of the United States was less than fifty millions, we should be apt to mislead the reader. ; Federal government, as all are doubtlessly aware, is what is technically meant by the the term United States, and having only circum scribed powers, is not, and never can be made liable, for the principal share of the expenses of maintain ing order and dispersing law among the people at large, most of this great burdenalling'on the separate members "of the confederacy- ho have no othei means of raising revenue, thjw by direct taxation, as matters now stand. To give a correct idea of the indebtedness of the natian, therefore we must include the debts of the several States. A brief sketch of which we will try and give in our next number. INVESTIGATOR. Onr New York Correspondence. Nbw York, Sept 22d. The rolling seasons of the year have brought us back the autumn time. The golden autumn, as the dwellers in the fields may truly call it but alas ! the gold is dross here among the brick walls and cold hearts of the "city fall." True, there is gold, but there are dragons that guard it in Wall St. Not the gold of the evening sky, nor the golden apples on the trees, nor the bright crops Of the harveet fields. Third nature there spreads' her bounteous stores and a gen tle anger alone keeps watch, and asks only the pass word 'Industry." And yet home, how many there are who rush here to this vast mart to try the hoards they may never clutch. Better, far better, nature's kind angel-sentinal, than the dark keepers of the mammon heaps. The! heats of summer have left New York faint and languid With the equinoctial gales, however, the city is bracing up, and new life and vigor returns to her wearied limbs. Merchahts and bankers, clerks and speculators are again filling theif olden haunts. Trade and occupation are crowding our thoroughfares and the bounties of Providence are filling our granaries. From every golden orchard, and every grain-crowneS plain", streams of our coun try's wealth are flowing into this ocean of America's plenty, and from the great warehouse and counting room down to the laborers humble dwelling. God's gifts are shedding the ' dew of happiness and peace over alt. And yet the years of plenty may have their dark future. of want. And as the world may soon come to us to replenish their empty sacks, so let us oe Joseph m foresight to prepare tor the death.' Jt seems as though the spirit seekers had evoked from the shadowy world the restless shades of a thou sand O'Connells. Agitate! agitate! agitate is the rule of action of an army of uneasy intellects. They nave lately been diving among the musty records of ll "T -l - l . : i " . ... me oia coioniai government ana nere exnumed the ancient grants of the Kings Farm. This comnf ised a large section of land lying along the North River on the eastern shore of our city, extending: from Trinity Church away to Greenwich village. The old Royal government gave this to the their existing church establishment, and placed it in trust in the hands of Trinity Curch, then the largest religious so ciety in the city. Thus it has continued until it is no onger a farm, but an immense area of brick and mor tar, intersected with streets and avenues, comprising me most vamaoie portion oi ew i ork. The agita tors have discovered5 that there are those who rjtn with more or less claim of ji slice assert their rights to portions of this fair inheritance. There can be no doubt but that the trust reposed in time honored cor poration refered to has been administered with benefit to the spiritual want3 iof this great community and oiaie. jjut wnetner the mere matter of title is legit imate will doubtless appear upon a more extended examination. Monsier Raphael Felix has already a Realizing sense of republican feeling in his administration of Jttachel's interest.

Our republicans hate been so educated to thunder storms that they don't like stili. life except on a trout stream. Our shoo windows are sno-omfiim in this connection.

Estimates for MILLS AND MACHINERY carefully made up and sent to any part of the county on rost Paid application Particular attention will be given to putting up . rVazee's Patent Portable Saw Mill. This mill, for cheapness, durability, simplicity, and efficiency, has no equal. It is constructed with eight pieces of timber, from five to eight feet long ; four pieces of plank, from tour to six feet long ; and about 1500 pounds of iron ; besides two long bed pieces, a carriage, some small wooden fixtures, pulleys, etc. No building is necessary except a shed to protect it from storms, and no mason work is required for the machinery. The common np-and-down saw, 6 1-2 or 7 feet long is used, without sash-gate or mulley, and will saw as large timber as nyi other mill using the same ''ind of saw. It can be adjusted so as to run fast or slow in any part of the log. In this way the saw can be lavored while passing through knots, etc. This mill, being very simple, and having but few bearings, has consequently, but little friction, and will saw as much as any other mill, with much less power, and saw smoother and stiaighter than any other mill in use. It is asy to be taken apart and moved to any desired location, requires no more la bor to run it than any other mill, is much less liable to get out of repair, and any mechanic can repair or build them. j One great point of superiority of this mill over any other now in use is its, portability the ease wih which it can be moved from place to place taking the few pieces of which the mill is composed to the logs, instead of hauling thousands of logs, often from long distances, to the mill. Besides, such a mill can be transferred from hand to handi ahd is consequent ly more saleable property. When one has sawed all the lumber he wishes, he can sell his mill to go to any "other location. ! These mills will . be sold for $1,200 to $1 400 per mill complete, they have been frequently timed by the watch and will saw fifteen feet of inch plank in one minute.
