The following touching anecdote is
related in a letter from Washington,
writtMi hir one of the Editors of the
Tins ton Bulletin. "A 'circumstance

of Alabama, begged the v indulgence
of the Senate for a few moments mere

of interest, which he said might be des

bers generally maaifested some impa

business of the day. "Look," said
Mr. McKinley "upon that ven
erable officer ofthcrevolutionary army.
He was a Captain in the cpntinental
line was taken prisoner by the for
tune of war carried captive to England
and, after countless hardship was
restored to his native land. His claim
has already been acknowledged by
the other house; and he is only waiting
the decision of this body for the con
summation of his hopes. At this late
ho u r of his life at the. age of 80, every
day is to him a period of importance

The Nev. bern Spectator, after giving an
acouat of the proceedings of Craven Supe
rior Court, says:
We canuot tiPcI06 tins hasty anil
imperfect sketch,, without paying a pas
sing tribute, to the talent and impo
sing dignity with which Judge Strange
invests the Judicial character, whilst
in the exercise of his functions. In
meeting discussion, and deciding on
principles of law, ' no passing shadows
of doubt or uncertainty seem to cloud
his understanding for a moment; whilst
the luminous view in which ie places
the important features of the testimo

nary Jury in complete possession of
those facts rrecessarv to a just com

the same time sustaining, in Ins re

which so happily combiness the "sua
viter in raodo with the? fortiter in re,f
the pleasing urbanity of the ge'ntle

Mechanics. I f we look a roan d
within the circle of our acquaintance,
avc shall find that many 6f our most
respected citizens are mechanics.
Several of the first merchants in- this
city were once mechauics, many of our
professional men were in youth me
chanics, j Several of Our most, distin
goished legislators, philosophers and
statesmen were also once mechanics.
How did they' rise to their present
eminence? It was by the cultivation of
their mithds in useful knowledge, by
feeling a proper respect for themselves
which led them to formregular, indus
trious and frugal habits, and thus have
they secured the respect and confi
dence of their emplo"ers, and risen to
the affluence and respectability which j
thev now eniov. The same path of!
honour and , usefulness is opened to (
every perron in our nappy repuolic; j
and we hope that these examples will
stimulate every mechanic among us
to imitate theses examples, that they
may become, as they deserve, respect
ed, for their worth and usefulness..

Providing for the lleirs of Ftdton-A

has suggested a new plan of repaying to
the children of Fulton, some part of the
large debt) due by tho 'American, people
to the services of the father the pay
ment of which has been so coldly denied
by the legislatures of tho states and the
United States. The plan ot the writer is:
I. That the proprietors. of each steam
hoat nrovide a box to receive Contribu

'2. That every passenger . be invited,
without importunity, to contribute one

3. Thai oap cent of the pnssagc money
of every passenger who nray not choese
