The "Fayetteville Observer" suggests, what we have no doubt is the fact, that his preient visit to the State is mainly for the pur pose of collecting some further materials in connection with his long-contemplated Ilistory of North Carolina. 1 SEASON OF LENT. W are, now, in the language of the Church, in the Season of Lent As appropriate tq it, we quote ths famous lines of. Robert Uebrick, r Poet and Clergyman, who flourished in the reign of Cbakles the first: , To Kiepi a True Lest. Je this a fast, to keep The Ttirder leane, . . And oleane. From fat of veales and sheep ? Is itlo quit the dish . Of flesh, yet still To fill The platter high with fish ? Ii is to fast an houre, Or ragg'd to go Or show A downcast look and sours ? No ; 'tis a fast, to dole Thy sheaf of .wheat And meat Unto ths hungry soul. It is to fast Ironi Strife From old debate And hate ; : To circumcise thy life. , To show a heart grief-rent, To starve thy sin, j " , Sot bin ; And that's to keep thy Lent. .

He beats young Norval, "whose father fed his flocks on the Grampian hills," in warlike aspirations. Peter the Hermit never preached crusades like the General.

Old men were wont to be steady, sagacious and rea sonable ; and they render themselves very .ridi culous by vaccinating their tempers with a school boy fondness for drums and cocked hats. We see no necessity of being hurried into war by the Monroe doctrine in this instance. Eng land exercises a right that she has had for years in Honduras, and let her continue to do it. Fire and sword will not spread Republican princi ples. The people will become so sick of this eternal war cry, that when a true occasion aris scs, they will rest, quietly anticipating ths usual denouement. TIIE SPOILS OFFICE SEEKERS. The condition of the President Elect of the United States, with so many calls upon bim for office, and such eager struggling for the crumbs that are to fall from the Executive table, toge ther w ith his inability to supply the demands of voracious applicants, recalls to our mind most vividly the pathetic .Nursery lines -There was bo old woman, wholiv'd in nhoe, friie had to many children she uidn't know what to do; Some flic trate meat, and some ehe (rare bread, And aurae ehe whip't soundly, and a it them to bed.'' With so many open mouths to fill, and so many hungry maws to satisfy, Mr. Pierce, though in the Presidential Manson; will be quit as uncomfortable as the needy tenant of the shoe., Indeed, in some respects, his situation will be worse. The old woman had the extent of her difficulties before her; and knew what she had to do how far she could go, in relieving the wants of her brood, and, when the eatabjes were spent, how many she must satisfy with birch, instead of bread. But the President Elect can see no end to calls and importunities for office. All the rewards at his disposal' are but as a mere crumb in the hands of thr old woman, to satisfy the cries of her numerous family. He cannot treat them in her summary manner, either, whipping those whom she could riot feed ; for the forest would fail, in its supply of birch, before th extensive flagellation were half completed. Nor would it.do to bang them under the second section. What, then, is to become of them T Alas I we do not know ; but all will agree that, in point of pathos, the trying situation of the "old woman in the shoe' inks into nothing, when compared'With that ol President Pierce I &g- We have inadvertently omitted, before, to call attention to Mr. PetersilIa's Advertise ments.

Bishop Ices' Letter oj li&siy nation, to the Diocese of North Carolina, Rome, Wednesday, Dec. 22, 1852. Dear Brethren ; Some of vou, at least art aware that for years, doubts of the validity o my office as Bishop, have at times harassed my : mind and greatly enfeebled my aation.; Ai j. other times, it is true, circumstances have arisen to overrule these doubts, and to bring to my mind temporary relief. But it has been only temporary, for, in spite of resolutions to aban don the reading and the use of Catholic books ; in spite of earnest prayers and entreaties that God would protect my mind against the dis tressing influence of "Catholic Truth; and in spite of public and private professions and do cfarat'ons? vrhich in times of suspended doubt I omBicjjf luuo io meiu mjsuu irom suspicion nnii el hanlr )m nnnfijonno l.t wnn illxnuail wuose iieaiiu uemanueu a cnange oi ciimaie, in ashort absence abroad. But absence has brought no relief to my mind. Indeed, the doubts that disturbed it have grown into clear and settled convictions ; so clear and settled that, without a violation of conscience and honor, and every obligation of duty to God and His Church, I can no longer remain in my position. ' I au called upon, therefore, to do an act of 8elf-s;icriiice, in view of which alt other self sacrificing acts of my lite are les than nothing ; called upon to sever the ties which have been strengthened by long years of love and forbear ance, which have bound iy heart to many of you, os was David's to that of Jonathan, and make my heart bleed as my hand traces the 0t salary. 1 hereby renounce all claim upon the same, and acknowledge myself bound, on an in timation ot your wish, to return whatever you may have advanced to me beyond this 22d day of December. With continued affection and esteem, I pray you to allow me still to subscribe mvself, Your faithful friend, etc. L. SILLIMAN IVES. PRESIDENT FILLMORE'S SOUTHERN TOUR. i It is reported that President Fillmore con templates visiting several of the Southern States soon after tho 4t!i March next. . As he might be induced to pass through Raleigh, would it not be well for the people to meet together at an earty day, and tender hiin tho hospitalities of the cit ? No man deserves more. at th hands of his countrymen an l we feel assured that both the Whigs and Democrats will take pleasure in honoring him. In the discharge of the duties of his high office, he has known no East, no West, no North nor no Southland has been governed by no contracted party wiews. Every measure of his administration has been dictated by wisdom and patriotism. Let us then invite him to come to our city, and if he will do so, prepare to give him a suitable re ception. Our sister town of Wilmington is al ready moving on the subject; all other cities of note will doubtless likewise take suitable ac tion ; and shall the Capital of our State alone be wanting in the respect and hospitality which the occasion demands ? JSlar. , COMMODORE STOCKTON'S BILL. The bill of Com. Stockton, for the re-organization of the Navy, which has just passed to a third reading in the Senate, makes some radi cal reforms in the personnel of i!io service. It provides for fifty Commodores, among the other additions and for a retired list r.n 1 a perma nent furlough list. And all officers found to be incapacitated, disqualified or incompetent, from any cause whatever, for active, prompt and efficient services, both ashore and afloat, in their several grades, shall be retired, or perma nently prolonged from the Navy. This bill will add great efficiency to the na val service. , The next movement, we hope, will be to in crease the number of vessels. Jiichnumd Republican. NEW YORK EXTRAVAGANCE.

At anoth er hotel, a Wall street broker a bachelor pay one hundred and secenty f.ee dollars for turo rooms. his board and hre bill are not included two items, which will probably make his expense for rooms and board, about two hundred and fj iy dollars a week. There is a house just finish ed in Madison averiue, the walls of which are finished off with the most cosily papier mache ! Another palace is now going up on one or the avenues, the paintings on the walls of which will cost over one hundred thousand dollars. A rich widow may be seen every day in Broad way, in a carriage that cost over three thousand dollars. There is an old fellow now living in Brooklyn, who four years ago was a journey man tailor, but who suddenly became rich by the death of a relative, in whose vaults there are stored over twenty thousand dollars worth of choice wines ! These are but a few of the items of New York extravagance. People's paper. t As it has been denied "hereabouts" that Mr. Clingman was in any wise instrumental in defeating the election of a U. S. Senator, we will simply say in response, that the friends of Mr. C. in the Legislature were in constant com munication with him at Washington j and it was understood that they were prepared at any time to drophis name, whenever he should sig nify his desire for them to do bo, and unite up on one of the prominent candidates and thus e lect him, which they could have done, having the balance of power. But no ; Mr. Clingman did no such thing'. And we have not the least doubt that as he was not elected himself, be re joices that no one else was. All the facts and attending circumstances warrant this conclu sion.

The first-named was report ed to the House, but not definitively acted upon. During the day, an interesting message from the President of the United States, on the sub ject of the fisheries and reciprocity, was received and referred to the Committee on Foreign Af fairs. In accordance with , a resolution previously aaopteu, tr.ere was a night session, merelv tor the reception of reports of commit tees; But there not being a quorum in attend ance at the time the Speaker took the chair at seven o'clock there was a call or the House; and the proceedings consequent upon this oc cupied the attention of the body up to the time of adjournment. liep.

The New Orleans Bulletin contradicts the statement circulated by the newspapers, that property in that city has depreciated during the last year. The organ in use at Dr. Pesbody's church, in Boston, was selected by Handel, more than a century ago. It is still, in some rcapects, a fine instrument.
