Many atticles are too bulky or of 'perishable a nature to be sent to distant rket8 : to be grown profitably, they must be Mumcd at home, or in a " home market ;" d yet they are the articles which are indis Pttsable to a system of profitable farming. If or grain brings to the forth Carolina far B a remunerating pric, it is because the pply is governed by the very limited demand ; d as to many articles which constitute the Ffitest source of profit to farmers, in the vi ities of large towns and cities, they are lite- of no money value in the greatest portion this State. Of this nature are fruits and tgetables of all kinds, the growth of which, if nh Carolina had a New York or Philadel phia within its limits, with! 'smaller towns and ihes in proportion, such as the States of New York and Pennsylvania contain, would exceed alue of all articles nowgrown in the State, "fcludinff cotton, rice and tobacco.

We have already adverted to the importance of Railroads and Internal Improvements gene 'j. These are indispensable the first step the progress of civil society and next to tD? is the education of the people. Our peo- pie have a prejudice against all sorts of bookish men against lawyers, doctors and editors against book-farming, and book-learning, and book-worms. Whatever comes of books is shrewdly suspected of being at war with plain common sense, if not common honesty. But, after all, the book men lead and govern the anti-book men ; and the only way for the latter to know that they are lead and governed well, is to become book men themselves, in self-defence. ." Knowledge is power," and those who are destitute of kuowledge cannot hope to re tain power, although they may have inherited it, or had it thrust on them by fortune. In spite of their short-sighted vigilance it will slip through their fingers, and pass over to the possession of those who have knowledge. The prejudice of the people against bookish men is unreasonable, though not unnatural.--Scbooling now and then makes a fool of a man, but that is not the general effect. Ordinarily it qualifies him for higher spheres of duty and usefulness, for which he had no more natural aptitude than amass of iron ore has for sawing wood or chiseling marble. In the raw state, without education, the man, in fact, is as use less as the iron ore. Let the people be edu cated, then, if we expect them to turn to ac count the rich materials of wealth which nature has strewn around them. Education cannot be too widely diffused, or the standard of intelli gence be raised too high. We insist on educating the people as a means of rendering their labor productive, as well as of diversifying its nature. Intelligent workers are always on the look-out fox means and ap pliances, for shortening the process by the aid of machinery. In the United States, we plant corn, and reap wheat, oats and rye by machi nery, which enables one man to perform the labor of ten. In the West Indies, the hoe is used exclusively, and the plow is almost. un known ; the consequence is, that breadstuffs are exported from this country tp that, not withstanding that labor is five times as dear here as there, and our soil by no means as rich as theirs. But we have other suggestions to offer, which we shall reserve for another occasion. MR. GEORGE SAUNDERS. This individual, of flibustiering and interven tion notoriety, says the " Richmond Times," has received his commission as Consul to Lon don. Saunders was denounced as a " Bucca neer," pirate, &c, by the administration organ 1 at Washington, a few months ago, but this did not prevent President Pierce from bestowing an important office on the renowned flibustier. If we are to judge Mr. Saunders by the senti ments avowed in the Democratic Review, whilst he was editor of that periodical, bis appoint ment to a diplomatic station in Europe must be regarded as one of the most objectionable that has been made by the present administra tion. With the exception, perhaps, of the New York Herald, no journal on this side of the At lantic ever promulgated such scandalous princi ples of political morality as did the Democratic Review, under the conduct of George Saunders. But it seems to be the fixed policy of General Pierce to bestow the patronage of the Goviern ment on the very worst and most dangerous men of his rary, and it is therefore a matter of no surprise that the Buccaneering ex-editor of the Democratic Review should have found spe cial favor in his eye. We observe that Mr. Saunders gave a dinner at a New York hotel a few days ago, which was attended by a number of locofoco notables. Flibustierism flowed as freely as champagne on the occasion, and a prominent Whig editor, among others, made an ass of himself, by giving the following silly toast : " President Pierce' Liawjitral Translated in- to cannonesc, the only language understood by the despotic powers of Europe, and by Com mander Ingrahani, in the Bay of Smyrna." With all the desperate tenacity of j drowning men, the locofoco editors of this State j still cling to the hope that President Pierce i does not approve the Pacific Railroad scheme, and that he will not recommend it in his first I annual message to Congress. The result may jjustify the faith of our contemporaries, in their I favorite's orthodoxy ; but when we consider the : facts of the case, we cannot avoid the conclu- j kpoor. Where all are engaged in cultivating j sion that they are cherishing a delusion. The ht earth, there can be little demand for its S demonstration in behalf of the Pacific Railroad, on the part of Messrs. Davis and Guthrie, had all the appearance of officialdy, and of delibe- rate premedi meditation. Nobody had asked for .1 v a l 1. none on the subject, and yet both of atlemen travelled out of their way to their opinions these gentlemen travelled out of their way to declare, in the very presence of Gener il Pierce. that tbe work in question ought to be built, and that they, as strict-construction' Democrats, could discern no constitutional impediment in the way of its execution. Ihe two secretaries could not but have been aware that their decla- rations would be regarded by the country as Mmi.official.and as foreshadowing the future . Tr c policy of the administration. If we suppose them tohavebeen ignorantof Prosident Pierce's eentiments on the qaes'tion, it is difficult to con - , . . ,. ceive why they should thus gratuitously have stepped forward to announce their own opinions, and thereby to subject the government of which they formed a part, to possible misconstruction and embarrassment ! i jj The meeting in behalf of the New Or leans sufferers was held, according to the call of the Intendant, oq Tuesday afternoon last. The following committee was 'appointed to solicit subscriptions, viz : Messrs. Alfred Williams, Geo. L. Gould and James M. Towles. Subscrip tion papers are also to be left at the Bookstores, and at Williams & Haywood's Drag Store. We hope for a liberal contribution from oar citizens. Jgk.The Union says, the people demand a radical administrative reform.'' Well, let's have it. We go in for "reform and rteDchment.,, I" A locofoco correspondent of tbe New York "Herald" gives a piquant history of the events which led to the recent Whig triumph in this District. Among other things he says : "You are doubtless aware that Mr.,Venable, of this district, has been defeated for Congress by a majority of seventy votes, and a whig can didate, S. II. Rogers, elected by a small minori ty of the popular vote, in his place. I do not think, however, that you are altogether "posted up" in the intrigues by which this singular re sult has been achieved, and perhaps lean in terest you a little with the account. You see, then, when f'Father Abraham," as he is familiarly called, got back home, after the short session was over, be heard in various quar ters that a little clique iibout Raleigh had de termined upon throwing him overboard for the purpose of promoting jW. W. Holden, of the Standard. Now, "Father Abraham" is, per haps, one of tbe most dcoommodating men of his talents and popularity you ever knew ; but, not being a party to this arrangement, which was very imprudently divulged, he naturally determined in his own mind to thwart it, if he could, but kept very quiet. In the meantime the thing went on. A young man named Lewis washrst persuaded to take the field against i now in process of rc-printing at Rome, under the V enable, and thereupon the requisite hubbub 1 sanction of the present Pope, the following pas and excitement were attempted to be raised sage oejeurs. He had been niiotin"' from a Bull nuouL uie uanger oi aivision, 3Co.; and, as a remedy, the Standard proposed, "for the good of the party," of course, a convention, to recon cile the conflicting claims of Venablc and Lewi.", I iil J - -- O i just as it any reasonable person m this whole district supposed for a moment that the election i of V enable was at all endangered. The thing was so transparent that lenable's friends every- , where opposed the call, and consequently the convention was a tailure. Had it met, there by coriitnanding vices or prohibiting virtues, can be no doubt that the plans of the friends of ; then the Church would be bound to believe that Holden would have eventually succeeded, and . vices were good and virtues evil, unless she that individual would have been the nominee. wished to sin against conscience : for the Church V enable, however, was wide awake, and, de- is bound in doubtful things to acquiesce in the daring himself a candidate, avowed his deter- 1 judgment of the Pope, and to do what he com mutation to run, whatever the result, noiuiua- mauds jlnd not to do what he prohibits ; and ted or not nominated. This of course settled ; lest bv chance she should in n.minat v.nipn.. ! the question of Holden's succession. To punish mm loruns independence, and also tor the defeat ' he had himself met, as soon as the day for the proposed meeting passed without the conven ! tion, he first breaks ground cautiously in favor I of Lewis, whom he had always before snubbed ; and only neglecting Venable at first, finally i openly denounced and abused him'; and at last declared that the tile leaders had determined to ' support the opposing candidate. The whigs, ' who, up to this time, had remained quiescent and hopeless, now saw a brilliant opportunity ; and a few days before the election, seeing the whole influence of the democratic organ openly thrown in favor of a man whom they knew could not be elected, Mr. Rogers took the field, and ran in between them."

Among the subscribers are many of t'.ie two thousand democrats who, misinformed by the Standard, honestly voted for Lewis under ti e impression that he was the strongest, and at naturally indignant at being so deceived anl humbugged into the support of an unpopu lar and wcab man, and the abandonment of therlate beloved and able representative. ''The sentiment of the democratic party in this State is also undergoing a change upon the pub ic land question, many prominent men of the :arty having already declared themselves oppo-ed to the present unjust policy of giving the vhole benefit of this common fund to the new States only, and this also will render the establishment of a new organ here indispensa ble to harmony and success in future elections. There's some difficulty in getting the right sort of pergin to take charge as editur, but I guess, if he w 11 accept the proposal already made, they wi 1 supply this important need, from the Cape Fiar country, and in a few days. It is deemed mportant to the interests of the new organizirion, who are already known as the States Rhts Democracy, par excellence, that they shoild go to work without furiher delay." fiSaT" At exchange paper says : "Gen. Pierce has mada decided impression upon the public mind, sine he has been in the Presidential chair." T ue, he has ; he has convinced the great body if the American people of his utter , incompeteniy to fulfil the duties of his station. He has impiessed the public mind with the be lief that he yiinly expects to win the Disunion ists of the Suth'and the Free Soilcra of the North, by tht loaves and fishes of office ; but that in this he will fail as completely, as he did to get into a b.ttle in Mexico.

In my boyish days I used to read in Scott's Lessons, the following as a good joke upon the lawyers. A Farmer came to a neighboring Lawyer, ox pressing great concern for an accident which, he said.iiad just happened. One of your oxen, con tinued he, has been gored by an unlukcy bull of mine ;j and I should be glad to know how I am to drake you reparation. Thou art a very hon est fellow, replied the Lawyer, and wilt not think t unreasonable that I expect one of thy oxen ip return. It is no more than justice, quoth jihe Farmer, to be sure : But, what did I say ? jl mistake. It is your bull that has kill ed one of my oxen. Indeed ! says the Lawyer ; that alters the case : I must inquire into the affair, and if, &c. I was sensibly reminded of this anecdote by reading the annexed passage in a late English author of great piety and celebrity. Cardinal Bellarmine's Dctrints as to the power s of the Pope? ' "BeHarmine was a cardinal in the Roman Catholic Church, and is considered one of the standard lights of that community, a safe, sure guide in matters of faith. In one of his works called I'ltum Sanctum, of abiding force among Catholics, these words : "Moreover, we declare, affirm, define and pronounce, that it is altogether a matter ot necessity lr.r every human creature to be subject to the Roman Pontiff ;" and in treating on the unlimited sovereignty oft P0pe, the Cardinal says: "The Catholic Chur te.achesithat every virtue is o-ood, and every vi the rch is evil. S But if the Pope should ' fall into error she is bound to believe eood what he commands' and bad what he prohibits LAOCOOX. STRANGE OCCURRENCE. In Cumberland, Pa., a strange occurence hap pened a day or two ago, yet no loss strange than true. 1 mm icas shot by a S'Uike, not "a Snake in his If it," but by the real bona fide "critter" itself, pne day last week, whilst a gentleman by the name of Louman, store-keeper in Sid donsburg, York county, was out gunning, he dis covered a large sniike, and in order quickly to secure it from running away, he placed the butt of his rifle, loaded with a ball at the time, upon the body of the snake, with his hand directly across the muzzle. The snake, in its writhings to free Jtself, coiled around the gun-stock, and with onfe of its coils struck the hammer, which . i . .i , was dowp upon the cap at the time, hard enough j- u- .u .i i i to discharse the run. the contents of which en tered thp ball of the hand near the wrist, and ift a diagonal direction came out between the junction of the little linger and the one next to it. Happily no bones were broken. The most providential part of the casualty, was, that Mr. Louman was just in the act of bringing the gun in front- of him, for the purpose of leaning on ihe muzzle, the better to enable him to reach a stick, near by, to kill the snake with. One mo ment's delay iu the discharge of the gun, and his life would have been forfeited to his care- ; lessees?; Stanger things happen in reality thai thef writers of fiction dare to invent. j V Phil.

It is stated in the New York Tribune, by pri vate advices from New Orleans, that the clothes and soiled linen, sick-chamber rags, and soforth, of persons dying of the yellow fever and black vomit, are shipped to Northern cities by rag speculators. It is to be hoped the health au thorities! will keep a shsirp look-out for such cargoes. The vessel which would bring such pestilence-disseminators ought not to be per metted to approach any city. The Tribune says : "At the Charity Hospital, New Orleans, the bodies are put into the coffins naked, and the ' clothingof the deceased sold to the highest bider. Such are our private advices, and nineteen bodies so treated came under our informant's notice. These sales take place once a week. Our letter further remarks that when the rag- shippers learned of the exposure likely to be made of their shipments, they would "put up their rags in cask to secrete them the better. Most of the clothing taken from the deceased victims is covered with black vomit!" The advice which the Tribune X'ves, to leave no box, bale, cask, hole or corner unsearched, in the Vessels from New Orleans, is deserving of particular attention. V'd. Com. THE FEVER AT NEW ORLEANS. New Orleans, Aug. 27. The official report of the Hoard of Health, ending this morning, at 6 o'clock, exhibits the total number of deaths to be 1,028 for the week, including 1,304 from fever.and 90 unknown. This, compared with the report of the previous week, shows an in crease of ninety-four on the total number, and sixty-two by the fever. The increase was main- ! ly in the early part of the week until Thursday, j when the deaths commenced falling off, which has continued until the present time. Should the epidemic, therefore, not exceed the past few j 'on 1 t-'n reater ot the coming week will show falling off, probably of several NoftTH; Carolina Bacon. We are indebted to Mr. W. S.
