The advantage offered tn this State, from its location, capacities, and climate, are superior to thoso offered by any other State of the Union." Without wishing in the least to detract from the advantages which our sister State may possess, to induce emigration thither, we must be permitted to remark, 'that North Carolina stands not at all infe rior to hW, either in point of "location, capacities or climate ;" and that she does possess all the mate rUI necessary to call the attention of the puhlio to the rich yield which she promises 10 me miruuuu of Agricultural, Manufacturing, and Geological and Mineralogical enterprise. From an inherent modes tv, possessedty her sons, they do not emblazon to the world the numerous pre-eminent advantages which would accrue to persons looking for locations to invest capital, and exert a spirit of enterprise among them bat it is nevertheless true, that many who are mak ing long and expensive tours to the u far West," in search of eligible situations for these purposes, would find them to their taste and liking in North Carolina, and where they could realize all which they desire. As it regards our " locality and climate," we take it for granted, that they are unexceptionable. With a territory extending from the Mountains to the sea-board, embracing every variety of temperature of atmosphere, almost, and leaving each, either to snuff the purf, cool breeze, as it comes dashing from the summit of the Blue Ridge, the Pilot or the Sawratown Mountains, or enjoy the delightful salt water baths of Beaufort, Ocracoke or Nag's Head surely ail can be pleased. And our " locality" be ing near enough central, to be relieved of the piercing, and consumption-producing cold of the 'North, and at the same time, not subject to that snltry, bilious provoking climate of the South, which engenders Yellow Fever, Vomito, Sec. surely our State is the very locality which those of the two extremes should seek to secure, as well as procure that great est of ail earthly blessings Health ! ' The Swamp Lands, which have been ami are be ing redeemed by the State, are acknowledged to be as good as the world can produce, in point of rich ness, and are perfectly inexhaustible ; and the yield of such port ious as have been in cultivation, is al most incredible. These Lands have been and will be in market, and can be purchased at low rates. Nor do we mean by this to admit that our soil in the main is not fertile, but on the contrary, we be lieve it will favorably compare with any of the Mid dle States. MR. DALLAS VS. MR. BUCHANAN. The Washington Correspondent of the "Balti more Sun" refers to a Speech delivered by Vice President Dallas during his electioneering tour in Western Pennsylvania, in which we are told this new "bidder at the auction of popularity" goes "farther than any Northern man in favor of the South and the peculiar species of Southern proper ty." There is a powerful rivalry between the houses of York and Lancaster in Pennsylvania, and the struggle will be severe for the next . Presidential nomination. Mr. Buchanan must take the stump, like his Vice Presidential competitor, or ho will bo distanced in the race. Then, too, there is Judge, Woodbury, the favorite of the Calhoun wing. The " Richmond Whig" asks; "Can ho not lay aside the ermine for a few months, to engage in this un seemly strife ?" And then adds: The spectacU of a Vice President, Secretary of State, and a Judgeof the Supreme Court, stumping it through the coun try, cannot but bo eminently edifying. And why not ? If a Vice President .may so far forget the dig nity of his position, why should a Secretary of State or a Judge feel under any restraint? K7 HonTnoMAS L. Cling man, Representative elect to Congress from the Buncombe District iu North Carolina, arrived in Boston on 'Saturday week, to be present at the convention of Geologists b.-ing held there. E7" To help along his hobling pace to the Presi dency, says the " Montgomery Journal," Mr. Buch anan is trying to establish a sort of natural heirship to the Missouri Compromise. It is a little singular that when any prominent Locofoco wants to hit upon something that shall be popular with the people, in stead of originating it himself he has to call to his aid the views, and long expressed opinions of Henry Clay, and adopt them as his promised course of policy.

Three individuals of our establishment volunteered the last week, and were engaged in the organization of Companies for the War.

Friend Gales: Dear Sir Having had an op portunity, in common with every body else, to visit this remarkable Picture, I feel desirous , of adding my humble meed 6f praise to the celebrity the sub ject has already attained. I must confess that I hrtve seldom been ai highly gratified and instructed with any exhibition. And how striking the fact, that this master-piecs 6f pictorial art is drawn from the sacred Scriptures) and from a portion of Divine History, too, unfathomable in its character. If I Lad any inclination to enter iuto adescription of the numerous figures that the subject embraces, L have not the talent to do justice to them, and consequent ly need only say, that the sources of emotion are concentrated with such extraordinary energy in a few eilent figures, that a vivid and vehement im pression was rapidly produced upon my mind, as I approached the door of tie exhibition. And l'feel satisfied, that the imagination of every one consti tuting the large atfditory, wasHffected with great power. This was sufficiently evidenced by the most silent and earnest attention of tho entire as sembly. The King of Terrors, advancing in ghastly state, mounted upon a horse, leaning slightly back aw, with hjs strong bony arms uplifted, a visage terrible yon expression7 wnhBTT right hand grasping a writhing serpent, and deadly shafts ra diating from both his clenched fists, while the fierce expression, furious attitude, and moral paleness of uia uuwiujvu uurat", inspire vne wnoie ngure wiin a living energy, which at first sight ut-trrtea tho be holder aa though it were indeed la living death !" FOR THE REGISTER. 1 On heanne of the death of Carjt. Martin Shive. a number of the citizens of Cabarrus met at the Court House in Concord, on the 18th of September, 1947. When, on motion of Dr. K. P. Harris, Tho. 8. Henderson was nunointed Chairman, and John F. Phifer and R. W. Allison requested to act as Se cretaries. The Hon. D. M. Barrigner explained the. object of the meeting, and offered the following resolutions, which were seconded by CoL Daniel Coleman, with appropriate remarks, and unanimous ly adopted by tho meeting. Besoleed, Th-xt wo have heard with resrret of the death of Capt Martin Shive, late of this County, who died at Camp Buena Vista, m Mexico, on the night of the 15th of August, 1847, of Typhoid Pueu mouia, while in .command of Company C.

Journal'' gives an ac-' As it regards our facilities for the in- count of the wanton and inhuman murder of a youth, fll ON THE PALE HORSE. iug has been exhibited for some days largest and most admiring crowds of we ever witnessed at any exhibition in I fact, nearly or quite every one has the thrilling characters that make up if " Death." is- Bun's descriptive Lectures upon the ext of the Picture, makes every thing stood; and no one, we imagine, can om such an exhibition, without feeling ie in having had an opportunity of in- ine so life-like in execution, and won vcrtisement, it will be seen that: this t son to vie-it most of the principal places rn part of the State ; and we recommend ray worthy of the most extensive in troduction of Manufacturing enterprise, we cannot agree that Virginia is at all " superior ' to her in this particular; and if those who are competent judges in snch matters, would but make a trip from tho Metropolis of the State to its Western and South-Western borders, we do not doubt that their wonder would be greatly excited, that so many su perior situations, upon which Merchant Mills, Cot ton and Wool Factories, and indeed erery branch of Manufactories could be constructed at so trifling a cost, should still rcmain-nnimproved. The leap ing Cataract, the fullatros force of the mountain stream, and the deep-rolling River, meet the ob serving traveller at every turn ; and each County, as he passes on, give indubitable evidence of the profitable adaptation of this branch of industry in their respective regions. And the rich, inexhausti ble Mines of Gold, Iron and Lead Ore, assures the examiner, that here is nn unceasing field for the ex ercise of his energy, and the profitable employ of his capital. Provisions of all kinds are cheap prices of labor low, and every material for building, such as stone, timber, &.c. are generally to be found' on the spot. Besides, it is confidently said, that some of our Western Counties are unsurpassed in their 13 years old, son of Maj. J as. W. Cooper, by a run away black man. The negro man came across him in a meadow, and cut his throat, in which condition he was found in a stream where he had been thrown. The discovery of the perpetrator was singular, he being found hid under a bed in the house by a slight movement he made during the inquest. "THEY ARE PASSING AWAY." The New York papers record the death of Major William Popham, whose services in the War of In dependence are gratefully acknowledged by the whole nation. In addition to being the oldest com missioned officer of the United States, he helJ at the time of his death, an office which tho immortal Washington filled, vie. the Presidency of the Socie ty of the Cincinnati. He died at tho advanced age of niuety-five years. TALL OFFICERS. No wonder our officers in Mexico, stand so high in public opinion. Gen. Scott is over six feet four, Gens. Worth and Twiggs, Cls. Haruey and May, and Maj. Lally, are all six feet or upwards, and like Frank Granger, " well proportioned." Col.

Resolved, That as fellow citizens of his native County, and home of his active inanbood, we lament his death as a loss to the community in which he was known and appreciated as an upright, public spirited, and useful citizen.

Ed. Reg. Long Lost. -The Eastern Argus relates a very interesting sketch.of a son of Mr. Wilbur, of Beth el, Maine, who was lost in 1827, when but two years and ten months old. Jrle was playing with larger children, but strayed from them, and nothing fur ther was known, but that screams were heard. The feelings of the parents thus bereaved can possibly be imagined, but we will attempt no description. Search was made far and wide, but no tidings were , received. None but the parents expected to hear from him, but they still advertised him, till, strange to say, a day or two ago he was recovered,, under very peculiar circumstance. Two of Mr. Wilbur's daughters, at work in the SacoFactories. saw among a body of Indians encamped there, a white young man, in whom they thought they recognised a re semblance to their family. They accosted him, and soon claimed him as a brother. Of course he had no knowledge of them, but wished to sec their fa ther. They sent for the old gentleman and tho re cognition on his part was complete. A young man, now 23 years old, had been told many stories of his parents, but knew nothing of his abduction. The Indians are now encamped at Cape Elizabeth, oppor site this City, with the youth and his wife, for he married an Indian girl last Spring. The Argus adds ': He has promised his father he will go with him to Bethel, where the old gentleman njhobudhiniaosej and give him all the sonance with the habits of almost his whole life. The father came into our office on Thursday, to tell of his success, lie was as nappy as a boy just let out of school."

It will be seen by the following from tho Colum bia "South Carolinian," that the recent Letter of Mr. Buchanan has not even answered the purpose of causing the Loco Focos of the South to fall in love with him, and rally upon him as their candi date for the Presidency. What says the "Stan dard" to theso Southern sentiments? The, "South Carolinian" says : "We publish this accidental letter to-day, not hav ing had room for it previous to thi time. We don't care what Mr. Buchanan was when he opposed Re publicanism with the herce onslaught of I ederalism we don't trouble ourselves with his anti-war, and hence, anti-country denunciations immediately after 1815. We will not even blame him tor being on a Committee which reported at a public meeting, in November 1819, at Lancaster, Fenn., Resolutions which were unanimously adopted, most earnestly requesting' the Pennsylvania Representatives to use their utmost endeavors as members of the National Legislature, to frkvkn r the existence of Slavery. in any of the Territories or States which may be erected by Congress.

It will never bo our happiness again to see on our terrestrial ball, the commanding person and the face wreathed in smiles, of our departed, much admired, ave. and much loved friend. But with the eye of faith, we see iu the celestial world the immortal part or Lim whose removal we mourn, oucn a mma can never die, but will live, grow and expand through out the countless ages of eternity." SANTA ANNA WHAT HAS BEEN SEEN. Mr. Polk in his annual Message of Dec. 7th, 1S48, said : " When orders were issued to the Commander of our Naval forces in' the Gulf, on the 15th day of May last, only two days after the existence of the war had been recognized by Congress, to place the cohst of Mexico under blockade, lie teas directed not to obstruct the passage of Santa Anna to Mexico, should he return. It remains to be seen whether his return may not yet prove favorable to a pacific ad justment of existing difficulties.''

DEATH ON THE PALE HORSE. , The following description of the chief character, came from the pen of a Boston critic; other portions of the picture, however, are quite as interesting: He has depicted the King of Terrors with the physiognomy of the head in a charnel-houee, but an imated almost to ignition, with inexhaustible rage ; placed on his head the kingly crown, and clothed the length of his limbs with a spacious robe of funeral sable. His uplifted right hand holds no sceptre, but is entwined with the serpent, who brought Death iuto the world, and he launches his darts from both hands, in all directions, with a merciless impartiali ty. In the foreground, his horses rush forward with the wildness of a tefnpestuous element, breath ing living pestilence, and rearing and trampling with unbridled fury. Behind him is seen a demon bearing the torch of Discord, with a monstrous pro geny of the reptile world.
