In 1 4 08, Mecklenburg county was divided : and the portion cut off became Tryon, which then included lluthcrford county, the coun ty seat of which was 15 miles south west of the -present town of Lincolnton. No provision was made for tha county of Lincolnton until 1779, not quite a year be fore the battle, which took place on the 20th of June, 1780; and it was not until 1782, two years after the battle, that the limits of Luncoln county were completed, by- attach ing apart of Burke which came down to what was then called Earl Granville's line, only about four miles north of the present town of Lincolnton. In 1785. Commissioners were appointed to locate the county seat of Lincoln coun ty ; and those commissioners selected the L resent site on " vacant and unappropriated" mJ, which was granted in trust to Josetii Dickson, for the purpose of erecting a Court House and other necessary buildings. .t tbe time the battle of llamsour s Mill wa fourrht. and for five vcars after. lont subsequent to the declaration of peace, there was u ) such town or place as Luncoln ton known: and, consequently, "Lincolnton" could not have been " a market" for stolen h arses, nor a safe place to hide and dispose of them. " Examiner" having erred so widely in this particular, the readers of the Watchman, if they have noted it, will give little credence to his labored "account ofthe battle of Ram- sour s .uiu, whicn contains xmiy as much fiction as truth. With your permission, I will procure, a correct "account of that battle, which is in the hands of a friend, and send it to you for publication at an early day. In the mean time, the Watchman would do but jus tice to Lincolnton, by inserting this imper fect correction of some of the errors into which its correspondent has been, doubtless, unconsciously led.

As John stirs him up, (star him up John,) you will- perceive that he kicks with his hind legs which he does because it is his nature c .

The hipotymouse says little or nothing to those of his kind, because he is not a very observing animal ana has not much to sav. . 1 lerM nmet and modest, and thinks more than he speaks. When the water is too damp, he lies down in the mud and rushes, and makes himself quite comfortable. He seldom fights, which the city on the Miami Canal. The daughter proves him amiable, for he is brave and of a prominent citizen was betrothed to an in strong. This is partly owing to his being dustrious young mechanic, but she not being a stnet Urahamite. vegetables and grain, but he eats every grain he can, get. I do not consider the hipoty mouse, and enterprising animal ; but think on the whole he enjoys a very good beastly character. Stir up his fore legs, John. Boston Museum. ' - INSTINCT. We see anecdotes accasionally going the rounds of animal acuteness; the following coon trick, related to us by a friend, is as keen as we '.remember 'to have heard. A racoon was chained up near a tavern door in the country, in the neighborhood of which sundry chickens were scratching about. The coon wanted one amazingly but they kept - beyond his reach. At hist some bystander dropped a piece of biscuit near the varmint ; an idea struck him. He bit the biscuit into crumbs and after scattering them about within reach of his chain, lay down and covered up his eyes with his paw. The bipeds saw the crumbs, and picked up one and then another, growing bolder every moment, and advancing nearer to the sleep ing beauty, until- slap ! the wretch pounc ed upon one, and ended his life in an instance. I3I3IENSITY OF THE EARTH. A bout two thirds of the earth's surface is covered with a sheet of water, constitut ing the sea, the average depth of which is estimated, at about two miles. This refer red to our usual standards, of comparison impresses us at once with an idea of the great amount of water investing the globe ; and, accordingly, imaginative writers con tinually refer to the ocean as an image of immensity. But, referred to the mass of the earth, which is its own proper standard of comparison, it presents a very different aspect. The distance from the centre to the surface of .tbs earth is nearly four thou sand miles. The depth of the ocean does not, therefore, exceed one-thousandth part of this extent, and astronomers has justly stated, .that were we to place a representa tion of the ocean on an ordinary artificial globe, it would scarcely extend in thickness the film of varnish already placed there by the xoAoniacturer. '.'-"The Mormons. Charles RDany represent that "the number of Mormons now in Iowa is 17,000. and that the number west of the Rocky mountains is about 7,000..

Romantic -It is stated that a marriage of rather a romantic character took place at Lockland, a village about twelve miles .from the wedding. The obiections were removed by a compromise. The nuptials were celebra ted, and in an hour the young bridegroom took leave for California, thence to return in two years and claim his bride. Snoring. 3fy uncle Phil was an awful snor er. He could be heard further, than a black smith's forge ; but my aunt became . so accustomed to it, that it soothed her repose. They were a very dpmestio couple, and never slept apart for manjr years. At length, my uncle was required to attend a court, at some hundred miles distant. The first nighjfc after his departure, my aunt never slept a wink; she missed the snoring. The second night passed away in the same way . without sleep. She was getting into a very bad way, and probably would have died, had it not been for the ingenuity of a servant girl; she took the coSee mill into my aunt s chamber, . and ground her to sleep at once.' Knowledge. Knowledge is not a couch whereupon to rest a searching and restless spirit, or a terrace for a wandering and varia ble mind to walk up and down with a fair prospect, or a tower of state for a proud mind to raise itself upon, or a fort or commanding ground for strife and contention, or a shop for profit or sale, but a rich storehouse for the glory of the Creator, and the relief of man's estate. Lord Bacon, . ' Capital Punishment in Michigan. -The people of 3Iichigan, having abolished the gal lows, seem determined to let it jtay abolished. The committee, to whom the memorials were referred asking for its restoration have made a report, which was accepted, that it is not advisable to ' change the existing laws. A Judicial Decision has just baen made that the regular mailing of a newspaper for a lenght of time, xsprima facia .evidence of its reception, and that receiving a paper for a certain lenght of time, and not ordering the same discontinued, was sufficient to hold a person liable for the subscription price not withstanding he may never have ordered the paper sent.

How often a company of well-dressed men and women feel very awkward for want of something to talk about ! The weather cannot holdout above a few minutes. If there happen, to be anything particular 'in the papers' what a blessing it is ; but it . frequently happens that there is nothing in the shape of a 'horrid murder,' or an ' awful conflagration and the cbndition of the com pany is truly miserable. They look into , the fire, or in each other's faces and the si lence becomes truly .terrific. "A'passing un dercurrent of. whispering commences between two married ladies, one; in a blue" turban, the other in a fan cap, on, the difficulty of getting gopdjBervantg, or the utility of chil dren wearing Bannel from October to March. An elegant young man takes heart, rises and snuffs the candles. The snuffing of candles is not a very interesting operation, , but it affords ai new theme. Three or vf6ur re marks are made on the superiority of gas- , light, and then another dead silence ensues.. The host or hostess in these cases is greatly' to be pitied,) and should bring forward a handsome cat, a clever i lap-dog, or a pretty child the last is the best. The difficulty. of starting subjects of conversation' is often as observable when two; acquaintances meet? in the streeti The; unhappy pair exhaust all the necessary ceremonials in the space of till the embarrassment is concluded by an ab rupt 'Good morning.' "! ! TOO GOOD TC BE LOST The Philadelphia ; correspondent ' of the Boston Age And News, in a late letter tells the following ' story. We hope Thornly won't blame us for printing it I heard a case of eitreme modesty the -other day, so extreme that it couldn't be un derstood. ; ; A lady went into Thomley's India rubber store, and inquired of the fascinating 3Ir. T. 'Have you any India rubber elegy encir-' cler V ' i . : '-: j t- .'' What did you say ma'am said the store keeper, slightly confounded. -. ' Elegy encirclers repeated the lady with a blush. Thornley looked around the store first at the great piles of India rubber,' then at gutta percha, then India rubber cloth, and so on, but without seeing anything cor responding to that name '. ' . ' You're sure it's matle out of India rub ber said " Mri T., inwardly declaring that there was nothing made of that article which he had not seen. j ' Oh yes,' replied the lady. . 'Do you see anything like it, at length returned the bewildered fellow. The lady looked around the well filled store, and ; at length her eye rested upon a box, which she blushingly pointed to. What do you suppose it contained ? . y G-a-r-t-e-r-s, : .
