' v.In almost all strongly-markedcharacters there - is usually some incident or sign in early'life which' shows that character and reveals to the . close observer the type of the future man. So , It was with Mr-Micos. His firmness, hia pat riotism, his self-denial, bis devotion to duty and disregard of office and emolument ; bis modes- ty, integrity, self-control, and subjection of con ' duct to the convictions of reason and the die- tales of virtue, all so steadily exemplified in long life, were all shown from the early age of eighteen, m the mrbiature representation 01 in dividual action, and only confirmed in the sub sequent public exhibitions of a long, ueaumui, and exalted career. He was of that age, and a student at Princeton College, at the time of the Declaration of American Independence. A - -small volunteer corps was then on the Delaware He quit bia books, joined it, served a term, re turned to ynncetoB, ana rsuineu ms siames. .

He was in. the camp on the left bank of the Yadkin, when the sudden flooding of that river, in the brief interval between the crossing of the Ameri--cans and the coming up of the British, arrested the pursuit of Corn wallis, and enabled Greene to allow some rest to bia wearied and exhausted men. In this camp, destitute of every thing and with gloomy prospects ahead, a summons came to Mr. Macon from the Governor of North Carolina requiring him to attend a meeting of the General Assembly, of which he had been elected a member, without bis knowledge, by .the people of his county. He refused to go ; and the incident being talked of through the camp came to the knowledge of the general. Greene was a man himself and able to know a man. He felt at once that; if this report was . -:: true, this young soldier was no common charac 4 . ter, and determined to' verify the fact. He sent ; for the young man, inquired of him, heard the ! ' truth,' and then asked for the reason of this un- - expected conduct this preference for a suffer ing camp over a comfortable seat in the Gener al Assembly!' Mr. Macon answered him, in bis quaint and sententious way, that he had seen the aces f the Britkh .msny times, but had never seen their backs, and meant to Btay in the army till he did. Greene instantly saw the material the young man was made -of, and the handle by which he 'was to be. worked. That material was patriotism ; that handle a sense of duty ; and laying hold of this handle he quick ly workfd the young. soldier into a different con elusion from the one that he &d arrived at He told him he could do more good as a mem ber of the General Assembly than as a soldier ; that in the army he was but one man, and in the General Assembly he might obtain many, with the supplies they .needed, by showing the , destitution and suffering which he bad seen in the tamp, and that it was his duty to go. This view of duty and usefulness was decisive. .Mr. Macon obeyed the Governor's Bummons; and by bis representations contributed to obtain the supplies which enabled Greene to turn back and , face Com wallis, fight him, cripple htm, drive bim further back than he had advanced, (for Wilmington is south of Camden,) disable bim from remaining in the South, (of which, up to the battle of Guilford, be believed himself to be master,) and . send him to Yorktown, where he was captured, and the war ended. The philosophy f history has not yet laid bold of the battle of Gailford, its consequences and effects. That battle made the capture at Yorktown. The events are told in every histo ry: their connexion and dependence in none. It broke up the plan of Cornwall is in the South, and changed the plan of Washington in the North. Cornwallis was to subdue the South- - era States, and was doing it until Greene turn- - ed upon him at Guilford. Washington was oc cupied with Sir Henry Clinton, then in New York, with 12.000 British troops. He had formed the heroic design to capture Clinton and bis army (the French fleet co-operating) in that city, and thereby putting an end to the . war. All his preparations were going on for that grand consummation when be got the news 'of the battle of Gailford, the retreat of Corn wallis to Wilmington, bis inability to keep the field in the South, and his return northward through the lower part of Virginia. He saw bit advantage an -easier prey and the same result, if successful. Cornwallis or Clinton, or either of them, captured, would put an end to T ashington changed hts plan, do - oeived Clinton, moved rapidly upon the weaker general, captured him and his 7,000 men, and ended the war.' The bettle of Guilford put that capture into Washington's hands, and thus Guilford and Yorktown became connected ; and the philosophy of-history shows their de pendence, and tbst the lesser event was father to the greater. The State of North Carolina ! ve Ueneral Greene 25,000 acres of Western . land for that day's work, now worth a million of dollars ; lot the day itself has not yet ob tained ita proper place in American history. The military life of Mr. Macon finished with his departure from the camp on the Yadkin, and. bia civil pabli6 life commenced on hia arrf- eiACiionsr-'tispresentanve' vopgrou- uh ana long ins optaxer ot the House oenacor in Congress 'under; Madison,',.

But a characteristic trait remains to" be told of bis military life one-tbat has neither prece dent or imitation, (the example' or Washington being out of the line of comparison;:) he refused to receive pay'or to accept promotion." and ser ved three years-as . private through there devo tion to hU country. '. And all .the' Jong length of bis life was conformable to this patriotic and disinterested beginning ; -and fbua tha patriotic principles of the future Senator were all reveal ed in early life, and in the obscurity of an un known situation.- Conformably to this begin ning,, he refused to take any thing under the modern acts of Congress for the benefit of the surviving officers and soldiers of the revolution, and voted against them all, saying they had suffered alike, (citizens and military,) and all been rewarded together in the establishment of independence ; that the debt to the army had been settled bv dsv. bv no osama to the wound ed, by half-pay and land to the officers; that no military claim could be founded on depreci ated, continental paper money, from which the civil functionaries who performed service, and the farmers who furnished supplies, suffered as much as any. On this, principle he voted against the bill for Lafayette, against all the modern revolutionary pensions and land boun ty acts, and refused to take Any thing-under them, (for many were applicable to himself.) He was a party man, set in the hackneyed sense of the word, but only where principle was concerned, and -was independent of party in all his social relations, and in alt the proceedings which b disapproved. Of this he gave a strong instance in the case of Geo. Hamilton, whom hf doemed honorable and patriotic, and utterly re fused to be concerned in a movement proposed to affect bim personally, though politically op posed to him. He venerated Washington, ad mired the varied abilities and high qualities of Hamilton, and esteemed and respected the em inent Federal gentlemen of his time. He had affectionate regard for Madison and Monroe; but Mr. Jefferson was to him the full and per fect exemplification of the Republican states man." His almost fifty years of personal and political friendship and association with Mr. Randolph is historical, and indissolubly con nects their names and memories in the recollec tion of their friends and in history, if it does them Justice. He was the early friend of Gen eral Jackson, and intimate with him when he was a Senator in Congress under the adminis tration of the elder Mr. Adams, and was able to tell Congress and the world who he was when be began to astonish Europe and America by his victories. He was the kind observer of the conduct of young men, encouraging them by judicious commendation when he saw them ma king efforts to become useful and respectable, and never noting their faults. He was just in all things, and in that most difficult of all things, judging political opponents, to whom he rould do no wrong, not merely in word or act, but in thought. He spoke frequently in Congress, always to the point, and briefly and wisely; and was one of those speakers which Mr. Jefferson described Dr. Franklin to be- a speaker of no pretension and great performance, who spoke more good sense while he was get . ting up out o his chair and getting back into it than many others did in long" discourses ; and he suffered no reporter to dress up a speech for him. He was above the pursuit of wealth, but also above dependence and idleness; and, like an old Roman of the elder Cato's time, worked in the fields at the head of his slaves in the in tervals of public duty ; and did not cease this labor until advancing age rendered him una ble to stand the hot sun of the summer the only season of tho year when Senatorial duties left him at liberty t ) work in bis fields. I think it was the summer of 1817 he told me was the last he tried it, and found the sun too hot for him then sixty years of age, a Senator, and the refuser of all office. How often 1 think of bim when I Bee at Washington robustious men go ing through a scene of supplication, tribulation and degradation to obtain office which the sal vation of the soul does not impose upon the vi-. lest sinner.! His fields, his flocks, and his herds yielded an ample supply of domestic pro ductions. . A suiall crop of tobacco three hogs heads when the season was good, two when bad purchased the exotics which comfort and ne cessity required, and which the farm did not produce. He was not rich, but rich enough to dispense hospitality and charity, to receive all fuests in bis house, from the President to the ay laborers 'no other title being necessary to enter his house but that of an honest man ; rich enough to bring up his family (two daughters) as accomplished ladies, and marry them to ac complished gentlemen one to William Martin Esq., the other to William Eaton, Esq., of Roa noke, my early school-fellow and friend for more than half a century ; and, above all, he he was rich enough to pay as he went and nev er to owe a dollar to any man. He was steadfast in his friendships, and would stake himself for a friend, but would violate no point of public duty to please or oblige him. Of this his relations with Mr. Randolph gave a single instance. He drew a knife to defend him in the theatre at Philadelphia when menaced by some naval and military officers for words spoken in debate, and deemed offensive to their professions ; yet, when Speaker of the House of Representatives, he displaced Mr. Randolph from the head of the Committee of Ways and Means, because the chairman of that committee should be. on terms of political friendship with the Administration, which Mr. Randolph had then ceased to be with Mr. Jefferson's. lie was above Executive office, even the highest the Presi dent could give ; but not above the lowest the people could give, taking that of justice of the peace in his county and refusing that of Post-master-General at Washington. He was op posed to nepotism and all quartering of his con nexions on the Government ; and in the course of his forty-years'-service, with the absolute friendship of many Administrations and the perfect respect of all, he never had office or con tract for any of Ms blood. He refused to be a candidate for the Vice-Presidency, but took the Elace of elector on the Van Burcn ticket in 1836. le was against paper money and the paper system, and was accustomed to present the strong argument against it in the simDls nhrase. that this was a hard-moDey Government, made i Dy nara money men, who bad seen the evils of paper money, and meant to save their posterity from it. He was opposed to securityships, and held that no man ought to be entangled in the affairs of another, and that the interested par ties alone those who expected to find their profit in the transaction ehould bear the bad consequences, as well as enjoy the good ones, of their own dealings. He never called any one "friend" without being so j and never expressed faith in the honor and integrity of ajhon with out acting up to the declaration when the occa sion required it. Thus.in constituting his friend WeldonrN. Edwards, Esq. his testamentary and sole executor, with large discretionary powers, be left all to his honor, and forbid him to ac count to any court or power for the manner in 1 which be should execute that trust. This pro- hibition was so characteristic and so honorable to both parties, and has been so well justified by the event, that I give it in his own words, 'as copied from his will, to wit : ''I subjoin the following, in my own hand writ lug, as a codieil to this my last will and testa ment, and direct that it be a part thereof that is to say, having full faith in the honor and in tegrity of my executor above named, he shall not be held accountable to any aourt or power whatever for the discharge of the trust confided by me to him in and by the foregoing will." And the event has proved that Ids judgment, as always, committor! da m!iitaA hin it va. stowed thai confidence.

He always Wore the same dressthat is to say, a suit of the same material cut,' and color, superfine navy blue the whole suit-from the same piece and in the same fashion; of the time of the Revolu tion, and always replaced-by a new one before it showed age. He was neat in his person, al ways wore fine linen, a fine cambric stock, a fine fur bat with a brim to it, fair top-boots the boot outside of the pantaloon, on the princi ple that leather was-stronger than oloth. He would wear no man's honors, and when compli mented onthe report on the Panama mission, which, as chairman of the Committee on Foreign Relations, ho had presented to the Senate, he would answer. 44 Yes, it is a good report ; Taze well wrote it." Left to himself, be was ready to take the last place and the lowest seat any where ; but in his Representative capacity he would suffer no derogation of a constitutional or of a popular right. Thus, when Speaker of the House, and a place behind the President s Secretaries had been assigned him in some ce remony, he disregarded the programme, and, as the elect of the elect of all the people, took his place next after those whom the national vote had elected. And in 1803, on the question to change the form of voting for President and Vice President, and the vota wanting one of the constitutional number of two-thirds, he resisted the rule of the House which restricted the Speak er's vote to a tie, or to a vote which would make a tie, claimed his constitutional right to vote as a member, obtained it, gave the vote, made the two-thirds, and carried the amendment. And, what may well be deemed idiosyncratic in these days, he was punctual in the performance of all his minor duties to the Senate, attending its sit tings to the moment, attending all the commit tees to which he was appointed, attending all the funerals of the members and officers ot the Houses, always in time at every place where duty required him, and refusing double mileage for one travelling, when elected from the House of Representatives to the Senate, or summoned to an extra session. He was an habitual read er and student of the Bible, a pious and religious man, and of the "Baptist persuasion," as he was accustomed to express it I have a pleasuae in recalling the recollec tions of this wise, just, and good man, and in writing them down, not without profit, 1 hope, to rising generations, and at least aa extending the knowledge of the kind of men to whom we are indebted for our independence and for the form of Government which they established for us. Mr. Macon was tho real Cincinnatus, of A- merica, the pride and ornament of my native btate, my hereditary friend through four genera tions, my mentor in the first seven of my Senato rial and last seven of his Senatorial life ; and a feeling of gratitude andof filial affection mingles itself with this discharge of historical duty to his memory. NORTH CAROLINA RAIL ROAD. The fourth General Meeting of the Stockhol ders of the North Carolina Rail Road Company convened in this place on Thursday tho 14th, and continued in session until Friday 15th, af ternoon. Gov. Graham was chosen chairman, and Ralph Gorrell and S. F. Phillips, Secretaries. Its proceedings were varied hj much excited and spicy debate. The following are the principal items of business transacted by the meeting: Res lotions introduced by Rufus Barringer, Esq., declaring the acceptance of the amend ments to the charter proposed by the las.t Legis ture, were rejected by a stock vote of Ay en 3400, Nayt 4301.. Upon motion of Richard Ashe, Esq., they were subsequently reconside red and their further discussion postponed to the next General Meeting. A proxy presented by Judge Ellis, from the Governor of the State, authorising him to cast the vote of the State in the meeting, was laid on the table, from a belief that, after the rejection of the Amendments to the charter, the power of appointing a proxy did not belong to the Gover nor. - Messrs. Francis Fries, D. A. Davis, F. J. Hill and J. M. Morehead were elected Directors of the Company the last named gentleman being chosen on the second ballot HilUboro' was selected as a fifth place for the General Meeting of the Stockholders, and it was resolved to hold the next meeting there. A motion by H. C, Jones, Esq., to reduce the salary of the President to $2000 was rejected by a vote ot 31 to 34. Gov. Morehead submitted a report of the acts of the Dirpctors during the last year, from which it app-ared that in addition to 000 tons of iron purchased by J. C. McRae & Co., for that part of the Road east of Raleigh, he had contracted with an English house for 4000 tons for the western end at $44,75 per. ton, delivered free of all charges, except the duty, at Charleston : that it was to have been shipped in April and May, last, but that owing to the difficulty of getting shipping, this had not yet been done. Five hundred and sixty-four stockholders pre sent in person or by proxy, and 8,200 shares re presented in the Meeting. At a meeting of the Directory held on Satur day, Gov. Morehead was re-elected President of the Company ; and Maj. Gwynn was continued as Chief Engineer at a salary of $5000, on con dition that he shall remove to this State. The next meeting of Directors is to be held in Raleigh on the 31st August next, when the Ma chine shops of the Road are to be located. Salisbury Wliig GOOD FORTUNE. About six months ago a young man in this, city, cashier and book-keeper in ahouse engaged in the Western produce business, had placed to his credit on the books of his employer, the sum of $100. That was alT the capital" he pos sessed in cash. He had been two vears in th house, however, was industrious, steady, and persevering ; understood business ; had tho con fidence of his employer, and the prospect of speedily becoming that person's partner. . Tho employer, at the time mentioned, died on a trip to the North. On opening his will, it was found that he had left to the young man the duty of settling his estate, paying a number of legacies, &o. The young man had the busi ness of the house left him, and the sum of $2, 000 cash. As the fortune of the deceased was in money deposited in bank, and the estate was not in debt, the succession was soon settled. After six months labor as head of the house, the young man, who had only $100, finds that he has made $9,000 profits, and is possessed of as handsome a business as could be desired. iV. O. Picayune. . Fias a Rxmedt for Biles. As we are now in the midst of the season of figs and grapes "every man sitting under his own vine and his own fig tree, and none daring to make him afraid" it may be as well to remind our read ers that figs,' according to the Scriptural record, are an excellent remedy for biles. Our readers will find in Isaiah, ch. xxxviii. y 21st, the fol lowing passage: "For Isaiah had said, let them take a lump of figs, and lay it for a plais ter upon the bile, and he (Hkzkkjah) shall re cover." A Tckc or Fortuit's Whmi A hard-work ing and industrious American family, the fath er of which is a coal heaver, and the mother a washerwoman, residing in Boston, has just re ceived information that a brother of the former recently died in Calcutta, leaving them the ve ry acceptable nm of $52.000.; , . . THE DISCUSSION 'AT CEDAR GROVE; ' The three congressional candidates - in this District,' Messrs. VenaWe, Lewis and Rogers, addressed a portion of the people of Orange, at Cedar Grove, on thi 14th irfet. By agreement tney were . unmea w ,n uuur uiu m ium ki acb. And M r.' Venable was allowed fifteen min utes for a reply. Mr enable opened tbeiiis-, eussion, and confined himself principally to the question of party organisation and a Democrat ic Convention, to a defence of bis vote for Ben 'nett's Land Bill, the question ing connection with the acquisition of Cuba, and to the charge that he had eulogise'd Henry Clay for effect among Whigs, Ac. ' ..-. Mr. Lewis followed in reply. He Vppoed Bennett's bill, and every -other distribution ei ther of the Public Lands or their proceeds, as "repugnant to the constitution." . He contend ed that Mr. Venable had opposed a convention both in public and private, and therefore was responsible for the disorganixatibn of the Dem ocratic party. He was in favor of the. acquisi tion of Cuba, and advocated its propriety. Mr. Lewis Tabored to make it appear that Mr.'-Venable had abandoned Democratic principles ; while Mr. Venable endeavored to show that his views were not only correct in themselves, but that they did not conflict with the Democratic platform. Mr. Rogers spoke last. His remarks were mainly directed to the subject of the Public Lands. Jn the commencement he playfully al luded to the fact that Mr. Venable was advo cating Whig principles. riding the same horse with him a part of the journey and said if he would come fully over, and declare himself a Whig, that he would go home and assist to elect him. He called attention to the conflict ing views of his Democratic opponents on the subject of the Public Lands ; and from the fact that Democrats were beginning to advo cate a distribution, he argued the correctness of the Whigdoctrin9. He then reviewed-briefly tho course of the Democratic partjin re-, gard to this subject, and showed that Noith Carolina by their action had been cut off from the receipt of millions of dollars, which were justly due her. He concluded by giving the people some facts and figures to show the importance of the vast public domain yet un disposed of, and the immense interests involved in the deoision of this question of distribution. Mr. Rogers is a very pleasant speaker, and manages to keep his audience in a good humor. We think the impression made by his speech was decidedly favorable. HUlsboro' Recorder. JUST AS WE EXPECTED ! After we had arranged the greater part of the copy for this week's Patriot, we received the Standard of Wednesday last, containing an announcement, by request, that the democrats of the 5th Congressional District intend voting at the ensuing election for the Hon. A. Rencher. We had been looking out for some such move, and are not disappointed. They have doubt less hoped to catch the whigs asleep on the day of election. Now if the democratic party wish to have their views and principles carried out by a rep resentative in Congress from this district, we think it would look more manly to have a can didate regularly in the field to meet the whigs and their candidate fairly, and discuss the ques tions that divide the two parties. This way of attempting to foist a man upon the people on the eve of an election, without their consent without consulting them and having it an nounced in the Standard, as by authority, is disrespectful to tho people, and deserving their strongest resentment. If the democrats wish to defeat the present whig candidate, let them do it with a man who is in truth and sincerity a democrat, and not with an old broken down renegade, who has been faithless alike to every principle and to all parties with which he ha4 ever been connected. To vote for such a man as Rencher, is to offer an inducement to politicians to abandon prin ciple, and to prostitute themselves to the low est degree for selfish purposes. We call upon the people, every where, to ral ly to the support of Mr. Kerr, the Whig candi date, who is worthy the confidence of a virtu ous, free and enlightened people. He has been providentially detained at home by the sickness of hia wife, and has not been able to canvass the district thoroughly ; and it may be that his enemies hope to take advantage of this and smuggle in their renegade ; but they will be thwarted, and Mr. Kerr will be triumphantly elected. He is worthy of the support of the party to which he has always been faithful, and in whose service, as the advocate, of their principles, he has made many and great- sucri fices. Then, fellow citizens, from one end of the district to the other, rally to the support of the bold, the noble, the patriotic, the eloquent Kerr. Greensboro' Patriot. POLITICAL HERETICS. The Raleigh Standard of Wednesday last, in enumerating the "disorga nisers," conies down upon A. W. Venable, of the 4th District ; Wal ter F. Leak of the 3d District ; Messrs. Latham and Loftin, of the 2d District; and the Demo cratic Free Press of this town. In relation to our own District, he says : "Walter F. Leak, of the Third District, who is out for Congress in favor of Bennett's bill, and who declares in advance that he will support no man for Governor who is opposed to it. Mr. Leak not only takes ground against a Democra tic principle, but ho has the assurance the ar rogance to declare that he will support no man for Governor who does not agree wth him I" We wonder that Mr. Leak should have the "assurance," the "arrogance" to have an opin ion of his own, and thus become a heretic to all intents and purposes. Have you not been long enough in the Democratic Party, sir, to know that the right of private opinion is not tolerated in the Democratic Church? Your opinion is framed for you at the t 'ity of Washington : pro mulgated through the Federal Organ ; uttered by the State Organ, the Standard, and repeated by all the little organs throughout the State. It is not the sin of ignorance of which you are guilty you "knew your master's will, but you did it not 1" The- Standard says that Mr. Leak and the oth er recusants haTe abandoned principle. But one asks, what is this principle? Why, obe dience to party, you numbscuil how long will you be so stupid in learning what patriotism, principle and love-of co'untry mean? We think there is some mistake about Mr. Leak's being so strongly in favor of Bennett's Bill. We heard him speak when be was here, and we understood him to say he did not ap prove that bill, but would take it as better than nothing, as it asserted the principle of distribu tion. The Standard says, "We now bave the State." That is a.fact. He also says : T1te people are with us." Wait a little. Don't give thanks for the return of day before daylight breaks. Commercial. The Raleigh Standard has the assu rance to display the following ticket in staring capitals as embracing the namesof the Democra tic Candidates for Congress First: District, II. M. Shaw, of Currituck County ; Second District, Thomas Ruffin, of Wayne County ; Third Dis trict, William S. Ashe, of New Hanover Coun ty; Fourth District, A.M. Lewis of Franklin County ; Sixth District, George D. Boyd, of Rockingham County; Seventh District, Burton Craige, of Rowan County. ; Can any thing equal this in assurance f Is not Walter F. Leak a candidate in the 3d District, Wm. C. Loftin in the 2d, and A. W. Venable in the 4th? And are-they not all Democrats ? Who are Leak, Loftin and Vena ble ? Leak is an old line Democrat, and one of the best political writers in the State.

Times, with battling for.

And with whom, pray, did they do bat tle hand in hand for the elevationof Mr. Pierce? First, then, we mention a leader of the Freesoil Democracy of New York, John 1. Dix. He was thus described by a States' Rights paper in this State, (the Mi&sissippian ; whieh is good authority-with the Banner,) two years ago, in illustration of the unsoundness of the Northern Democracy : " We will not stultify ourselves with confi dence in a party which repudiates suoh patriots as Dickinson, and nominates for his place such dangerous demagogues as Dix which recog nizes Join Van Buren as a leader, and which coalesces with the fanatics for the purpose of harrassing the South.' Another Northern ally ' of our contempo raries was Benjamin F. Butler, also a leader of the .New York Jfreesoilers. Uunng tne can vass. Mr. Butler addressed a letter to Senator Chase oi Ohio ; in which he boldly avowed these sentiments: ' "The Slavery resolution of the Baltimore platform I rejected promptly and without RESERVE. " I have no desire to explaiw away or QUALIFY ANY OF THE PLEDGES OF THE BUFFALO platform. THEY BIND US TO OPPOSI TION, PERPETUAL AND UNCOMPROMIS ING. TO THE ENCROACHMENTS OF THE SLAVE POWER, and to unceasing efforts for free-soil, free-speech, free-labor, free-men." Our neighbors will also recollect, we doubt not, their co-laborer in the Pierce compaign, Wat son G. Hayncs. His memorable speech at the Pittsburgh Freesoil Convention, in which be urged his brethren to co-operate with the Pierce men, instead of running a separate ticket, can not have beeu forgotten. We make from it an extract: " Our old friends, I assure you, know their man, and I have no kind of doubts on my mind but these men willexert such an influence on his mind, after the election, if any such influence be needed, as to bring about a repeal of this abominable law ! (Fugitive Slave Law.) It is certain Mr. Pierce cannot be elected any more than Gen'I Cass, in 1848, if all the Freesoilers are to forsake the good old Democratic Platform of Equal Rights-rl don't mean the late Plat form adopted at Baltimore ; I don't respect that platform ; nor is it possible that such men as the following can respect it." Mr. Haynes then gives a long list of those who repudiated the Baltimore platform and the Fugitive slave law along with him. In this list are John A. Dix, B. F. Hallett, Dr. Maloney, J. Jt W. Gray, of the Cleveland Plaindealer, all of whom have since received appointments from Mr. Pierce. An,d yet, neither the Banner, nor any other States Rights anti-compromise paper in this State, has uttered one word of disappro bation of these appointments. More than that ; it supports the nominees of a Convention that passed a resolution endorsing these and all other appointments. It has not had the nerve to do what Northern men in Northern communities have done condemn this action of the admin istration. And yet, in allusion to us, it scouts the idea that ' the Democracy of the South ' 6jiould listen to advice from such a source.' Ha !' ha ! " I thank thee, Jew, for teaching me that word." We trust our neighbors of the Banner will stand manfully up to the discussion they have opened. We have wanted a fair excuse to re view the past, and show up a certain class of Mississippi politicians who called Southern Union men ' craven-heartel Submissionists ' and ' Freesoilers ' in 1851, and talked loudly of superior devotion to Southern Right?, who have stood by without a word of dissent, and seen anti-Fugitive Slave law, Freesoil Demo crats of the Xorth take precedence in Execu tive favor over Southern Union Democrats and who now call upon these same Union Demo crats to aid them in getting into power 1 Come at us then with the Seward and Scott cry ' if we do not return the amount of the draft upon us with interest, then it will be our fault, not theirs. We have some more of the ' Northern allies ' with which to refresh their memories. IIoW A MAN FEELS WITH HIS HEAD OFF. It is considered on all sides that the body does not feel one instant after decapitation ; for the brain being the seat of sensation to the whole frame, through the medium of the spinal marrow, eve ry part of the body, beneath the joint at which the latter may be divided, must be deprived of feeling. But it by no means follows that the head is deprived of sensation immediately after decapitation, nor that it may not retain'its con sciousness, and, like the head of the Irish knight who was killed by Saladin in the Holy War, get up and declare that it was never cut off by so sweet a scimitar before nor like that of the assaisin Legare, swear roundly at the execu tioner for not keeping a keener axe ; but it is quite possible that it may be troubled with very serious reflections upon the irrevocability of its fate, and the awfulness of its deprivation. In support of this unpleasant theory, many facts are adduced, with grave vouchers for their au thenticity. Among others is the unfortunate Queen of Scots, whose lips continued to move in prayer for at least a quarter of an hour after the executioner had performed his duties. Windt states that having put his mouth to the ear of a decapitated criminal's head, and called him by name, the eyes turned to the side from whence the voice came ; and this fact is attested by Fontenello, Mogure, Guillotine, Nauche, and, Aldini. On the word murder being called, in the case of a criminal executed for that crime at Coblentz, the half closed eyes opened wide with an expression of reproach on those who stood around. " IT7 We yesterday, says the N. Y. Times, saw the successful result of a surgical operation'of so novel and ingenious a charater as to deserve mention in our columns. It was performed by Dr. Dixon, Editor of The Scalpel, upon Mr. D. Hyslop, of this city, for a cancer of eight years standing, involving the whole of the lower lip. The membrane lining the lip being sound, the operation consisted in dissecting off the die eased part and removing it, leaving the mem brane in its natural place. Then two incisions were made downward from the corners of the mouth to the chin, and the skin covering" the latter being loosened on each side, was crowd ed up, and by a few delicate stitches connected with the membrane. When we Baw it the lip was nearly well, and was perfectly natural and symmetrical ; and when entirely healed a slight Bear from the cut on each side of the chin will bo the only trace of the disease, or of the ope rations for its removal. It forms a striking il lustration of the resources of both nature and art. Fashion at Watering Places.
