EDWARD STANLY. Washington, March 15. 1849. mum - Q - I Ours are the plans of fair delightful peace, Unwarp'd by party rage to live like brother. RALEIGH, N. C. Wednesday Momixig; March 23, 1849. We conclude the publication, in ont to-day' issue, of Mr. Raynsr's Speech, during the late se, sion of the Legislature, on the bill for the relief of the Wilmington Rail Road Company. Whatever diversity of opinion may exist as to his views upon the premises, vre arc confident that no one even o mong the most strenuous advocates of tbe bill and those most interested in its success will withhold from Mr. Rayner the meed of a conscientious re gard for what he deems the best interests of the State. The Speech is characterized by its author's usual force and ability. The remarks of Major Histon, "(also efnhrftcedln to-days publication) at the receut Internal Improve ment meeting ia this City, will be found full of val uable and important statistical information. The speech of Mr. Basbibq.es, of Cabarrus on the bill for the abolition of jury trials in the Coun ty Courts, has been received, and shall have place in our next. .

THE GENTLEMAN. When you have found a man, you havs not far to go to find a gentleman You caanol make a'gotd ring out of bras. You cannot change a Cape May chrystal to a diamond. You cannot make a gentle man till you have first a mau To be a gentleman, it will not be sufficient to have had a grandfather. To be a gentleman, does not depend upon the tailor or the toilet Blood will degenerate. Good clothes are not good habita The Prince Lee Bos concluded that the hog, in Eugland, was the ouly geutleman, as being the ouly thiug that did not labor. A geutleman is just gentle-man ; uo more, no less; a diamond polished, that was first a diamond in the rough. A geutleman is gentle. A gentleman is modeat. A gentleman a generous. A gentleman is slow to take offence, as being oue that never give it. A gentleman in alow to surmise evil, as being one that never thinks it. A geutleman goes armed ouly in coasciouauess of right.

St. Paul described a gentleman, when he exhorled.the Phillip pian Chrisiiaus " Whatsoever things are true, what soever things are honored, whatsoever things are jest, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are ot good report, if there be any virtue, aud if there be any praise, think on these things." And - Dr. Isaac Harrow, in his admirable sermon en the calling of a gentleman, pointedly saya, " he should labor and study to be a leader unto virtus and a notable .promoter thereof; directing and exciting men thereto by his exemplary conversation ; en couraging them by his couuteuance and authority ; rewarding the goodness of meaner people by his bounty aud favor ; he should be such a geutleman as Noah, who preached righteousnes, by his words and and works, before a profane wurid " . Bishop Doane. POPULATION OF THE UNITED STATES The following statistics are obtained from tbo Report for 1956. recently 'submitted to Congress by the Uommissioner of the Patent Office. The present population of the United States is estimated at 21,(586,000. The number allotted to each State is as follows : Maine 615,000; New Hampshire 308.000; Massachusetts 875.000; Rhode Island 135.000: Connecticut 340.000; Vir mont 310.000 , New York 2.880,000 ; New Jer sey 425,001) ; Pennsylvania 2,220.000 Delaware 85,000; Maryland 510.000 ; Virginia 1.295.000 ; North Carolina 780.000; South Carolina 620,000; Georgia 825,000; Alabama 716,000 ; Mississippi 670,000; Louisiana 490,000: Tennessee 980,000; Kentucky 890000; Ohio 1,980.000; Indiana 1,000,000; Illinois 800.000; Missouri 539.000; Arkansas 200.000: Michigan 420.000; Florida 800,000; Wisconsin 250,000, Low a 150,000; Texas 150000 District of Columbia. 48000 ; Oregon 50,000.

We are exceedingly gratified to learn that that gallant and indomitable Whig, John Kerr, of Cas well, is a Candidate for Congress in the above' men tioned District, in opposition to the Hon. A W. Venasle. We understand that he declared himself such at Chatham Court, last week, in public discus sion with the present incumbent, whom, by the way, f report speaketb correctly, he completely riddled. t will be remembered that Mr. Kerr was defeated in this largely Democratic District, two years since, but by a very meagre and reduced majority ; and we consequently entertain now the most sanguine expectations of his success. Mr. Yenable found it difficult enough then to carry his own freight through the canvass; what can he expect to do now, encum bered by the numerous errors and excesses of bis Congressional c ireer Q,uattlebum-ry and all There is no man whom we should be more pleased to see in the Councils of our Conntrr than Mr. ttclm: He'carrlesaTatrf t proper discharge a Patriot's arm. iV"rM Mr D , " ,,: rr'con,::,0?"." and l'ww he en. ilHau.: """'cu.yetl - ue i si ... w anu v he en- m for mi. ,, Wl'n lustiP. ki -"r, wtauie a-. less'on.

The Washington correspondent of the Spring field Republican mentions the following amusing incident. Mr. Foote was addressing the Senate when Mr. Webster asked leave to interrupt him a moment Mr. Foote turned toward Mr. W., who was sitting behind him. and addressed him, as nearly a I can recollect, in the following strain : " The honorable Senator from Massachusetts, the dis tmguished Senator from Massachusetts.the States man. the orator, the scholar, the philosopher (here Mr. W who, up to this point had kept his eye fixed on Mr. F.. covered his face with both hands, aud Mr. F. then proceeded as follow : the man whose speeches are destined to live an long as the English language, he who will here after rank alongside the Demosthenes and Burke of our own race "Mr. Webter; pat fence seem ed to be exhausted at (hi point, and hs belched forth at the top of .his lungs, 'Oh ! ettoxiX l eutogium to, I . ana unable to-say. fnr amid the roar of merriment and laughter: that ensued, he could not be heard for some minutes after. j the pceettM)atuB; feeling of his own? section, he doe not Intend to be put upen extreme cour ses, buthopesby concurrence in wise and mode rate counsels, to aid in allaying the irritation now existing, to some extent, in the public mind, and in adjusting pending questions in such manner as to satisfy good men in all parts of the Union." The conclusion of Mr. Smith's letter is in excellent tone and spirit. He says : I cannot conclude this response without prof, fering my sympathies on account of the unexam pled difficulties and embarrassment which have attended the discharge, by you, of one of the most delicate duties which can devolve on one about to become. the Chief Magistrate of the Republic. Having spent a large portion of your life on the frontiers, far removed from the abodes of civilized men, and much of the residue in the tented field, amidst the din of arms and the clangor of war. you have not enjoyed the usual opportunities to obtain, by personal observation aud intercourse, a thorough Jk now ledge of our publio-inen ; and hav ing posjtpo'oedrour arrival at the seat of Govern ment until a Ute day, you have been plunged into the midst of the rtging political elements of this metropolis, and are obliged to grope your way through all sorts of representations, vehemently urged, to a safe and proper organization of your Cabinet. I think, sir, you must be something more than humanjf you do not make, under such trying circumstances, some mistakes ; and, in consideration of those circumstaces, your ultimate arrangements should, in my judgment, be received with great indulgence by your friends throughout the country. I can bear testimony to the profound anxiety which you have manifested to do justice in the selection of your confidential advisers to all the great interests of the country, and all sec tions of the Republic, and, being assured of the puritv of your tnoiives, and of the generous patriot, ism by which you are actuated, you have my un. reserved confidence in advance, with a determi nation, on my part, to stand by you "through evil report and throyizh good report," and to conse crate all thy faculties to render your Administra he declares thai whjle he will represent faithful. nature is such, thata greaterportion of life is, at any rate, darken! by- ndafortaaes and Borrows; bat he who cannot enjoy the bright akies and green fields of Summer, because the storms and desolation of Winter may be expected to succeed, deserves that his life should be overshadowed by perpetual anx iety. HOAXED. It will be seen by what follows, that some one has imposed largely upon the credulity of our contempo rary of the " Boston Atlas," and through that journal upon the Northern press and Public generally. The Editor of that most excellent print, as of course, it s to be expected, must know but little of the fun- oviug propensities only occasionally and then very quietly manifesting themselves of our Chapel Hill students. We, leas remote, who have sometimes been the victims of their jokes, are more circumspect of their communications. The peaceful denizens of Cha pel Hill will doubtless be astounded to learn that they have an El Dorado in their midst, and that the tide of emigration is likely to be diverted from California, towards their own beautiful hamlet. The letter states " that on the 10th inst., a stu dent of thi University, while kneeling at a brook to drink, displaced a stone, with the weight of which his attention was arrested; and on searching the place, assisted by a companion, several more stones of the same kind were found. These were carried to the laboratory of Prof. Mitchel, who decided that they coatained gold, and that a vein of the precious metal had been discovered. The excitement in con sequence is immense. The college has been desert ed, and every body is digging for gold, as if his life depended on it 4-c, &c. of nir legislative duties can contribute to that end.) as yur career in another department of the public service has been illustrious.
