Commissary under Kossuth."
Pursuant to the above summons, a large and
enthusiastic assemblage of our citisens convened
in front of the Town Hall, long before the ap
pointed hour. Precisely at eight o'clock the
uieeting was called to order, and opened by an
appropriate prayer from -he Rev. Hexekiah
Yu h. On the motion of Prof. S. S. Squixxens,
Solomon Pike, Esq., of Missouri, was called to
the chair, aud seven vice-presidents and a sec
retary nominated and elected.
The chairman, after a few brief remarks on
the object of the meeting, said, that before pro
ceeding to regular business, he wished to ex
,.ri hi reirrtH at beine oblized to state that
c.iir f the distinguished foreigners invited
found it impossible to attend, vix : the Greek,
It l.n. Chinese, and Polish exiles.
As some of the notes they had sent to that
effect were rather prolix, he would only read
one troin Sis- Spozzini, the celebrated Italian,
written in bis own idiom. He at the same time
lagged the excuses of his fellow-citizens for
the mm attendance of the other gentlemen.
Sig Spozrini's note was then read,--of which
the following is a copy :
-Signore II President.: Santinicruzoni Di. 5.

The noble sentiments here so boldly, though
bri. riv expressed, called a loud cheer from the
er..w."l. The chairman then offered a series of
resolutions approving of the conduct of Captain
Ingraham in the Smyrna affair, and tendering
him. on behalf of the people, the freedom of
the city of Santa Crux, in a box. which were re
ceived" with rounds of applause, and unani
mously adopted. The chairman now brought
forward and presented Mons. Jean Jacques

Mated, a.ldressthe meeting in English. Mons.
R is a sallow, thin gentleman. with an intelli
gence of expression and vivacity of movement,
fully attesting his Gallic origin. He was re
ceived with three hearty cheers, and responded
silently with three well defined shrugs. He
then spoke as follows :
"Messieurs Citoyens,
I am devoured by ze honor of zis percussion.
I have a fazir, a inozer, a brozer and a leetle
vife, and zey is all smozred by zis honor mag

"Vat ze diuble zat ? Eh? Bien, I am

hat and bowed,) "et vive les Americatne pee-'

(Here the distinguished French exile, becom
ing much excited, turned a soiuniersault and
tore out two bandsful of his hair.)
"1'arrrrdon citoyens, butlgit moch patrouit
isme, l'im ! pom! Le jour de gloire est arrive !
Eh'. Ouf! Bah! Scelerat! Oh! Ah! Sac-r-r

At this moment the French exile was carried
a way by enthusiasm, or two of the vice-presidents,
I could not say precisely which ; but,
at any rate, he disappeared from the speaker's
wtand. As soon as the applause, consequent
upon this short speech, had subsided, the chair
man came forward, le;uling by the hand Hen
Hans andam Schpoodleman, the German ex
ile. After introducing him to his fellow-citizens
as the "re now ne I Flamingo" (probably because
he waa of' Flemish origin,) he begged their
Mrict attention, as well as patience, as Herr
.S. possessed the characteristic phlegm of his
countrymr.-n. and must take his own time in
speaking. Ilerr S. is a short, broad beamed i
man, with a fat face. He was smoking a large j
meerschaum pipe. He gave four or five huge j
puffs, and then spoke as follows: !
"Fellow Citizens, unt Shentlemens mit der t
Jury." (Five minutes now elapsed, during
which time the Herr seemed wrapped in deep
meditation.) "Ven I gits dis evening your note

(The worthy Herr now took a short nap, on
awakening from which he continued) "Yaw,

charitubly removed by some officiating gentle

seldom find one in our prisons or penitentiaries.
When one is seen in a prison, he is there for
some petty offence. the charges being seldom
graver than of false pretences or of receiving
stolen goods. Some years ago, we remember,
one was sentenced to the Stat? Prison for ar
son ; but yet it is true that, to a remarkable
extent, Israelites are seldom offenders against
Society. They are not frequently found in our
hospitals, aud never in our poorhouses. At
Ward's Island, where so many hundreds of the
poor drifting across from the shores of the Old
World are continually gathering, we find all
classes of Christians Quakers, perhaps, ex
cepted and all shades of infidels represented,
but never a Jew. When a Jewish emigrant
arrives, at, does not commit himselt, though
poverty has chased him from his old home, and i

Emigration for the receipt of that assistance to

by contributions within their circle, all his im
mediate wants are relieved, and he is put in the
way of obtaining a livelihood for himself
From the extraordinary amount of Jewish emi
gration to and through this City, we judge that
there must be large disbursements made by
some of them in charity.- Thirteen hundred
tons of coal, we are told, have been given to
the poor by one Society of Israelites in New
York during the present Winter. This early
and unfailing attention, of those who are able,
to the wants of the poor, must greatly tend to
prevent the commission ot
enme, since crime
stalks in nowhere so
surely as when Hunger
and Nakedness open the door and Want per

nere is a iact irom wnicn unistians may pro-
fitably accept a hint. Meet poverty while it is
innocent, relieve it, and you remove the temp
tations to vice ; for Hunger has a sharp tooth,
and cannot but soon gnaw through the thin
restraints of virtue, when that which must
relieve it lies only on the other side. Christians,
too, might learn from the Israelites some noble
lessons as to the policy of supplying the wants
of those who hold the same faith. It is the
glory of Christian liberality that it opens its
arms to receive all who are of the great family
of man that it knows in its embrace neither
Gentile nor Jew, faithful nor infidel, but 6es a
brother in every one who bear a human heart.
But as He hath set II is people in families, and
made it their first duty to supply the wants of
those belonging to the family, so it entirely
comports with our duties to the whole, that
none especially who belong to the same church,
denomination, or sect, should suffer.while within
the church, denomination, or sect there are the
means of affording relief.

THE WAY THEY FIGHT IN CHINA.
The intense interest which is felt in the more
imposing scenes of the war, of which Southern
Europe is the theatre, has apparently thrown
the once famous "Chinese insurrection" com
pletely in the shade. It is seldom now made
available for a paragraph, even by the most
hard up country editor. Few seem to know,
and still fewer to care, whether the Insurgents
or the Imperialists have the advantage ; wheth
er Peking has been taken or Shanghai re taken ;
whether the Celestials are still "making tea"
under the old dynasty, or indulging in the lux
ury of British opium under a new regime.
Nevertheless, the war is still wagging on, and,
from the manner in which it is conducted, seems
likely to last at least a century to come.
At tha latest accounts, the efforts of the in
surgents were directed to the capture of Peking,
the capital ol the empire, while tbe imperial
a O' . - - . , .
strictest military decorum is prearm .
when night or any other cause puts an end to
the "battle." the two armies, though perhaps
somewhat fatigued, are not cut to pieces and
placed hors du combat, as so often happens in
the wars of the outside barbarians. Next mor
nio. the belligerents are as fresh and "eager
for the fray" as ever. A war conducted on
these humane and scientific principles must ne
cessarily last a considerable time.
This description must be considered as ap
plicable only to regular, pitched battles.
Chinese skirmishing is conducted in a some
what different manner. A correspondent of
the New York Tribune doscribes some of the
skirmishes which took place under the walls of
Shanghai, which, as above state.!, is besieged
by the Imperialists. The engagement com
mences by some five hundred or a thousand in
surgents xallying from the gates of the city, and
making a rush towards a detachment of the b
megers. The affair is described thus :
"These field tournaments, flV rather hide "vnd
seek fights, consist in chasing and being chas
ed. Nothing could be more ludicrous than the
sight of one or two hundred rebels, with mus
kets, chasing five hundred imperial spearmen,
or rather bannermen ; for more than two thirds
of their spears (which as a general thing are
from 12 to 18 feet in length) are, in order to
present an imposing appearance. a ornamented

lv. in an engagement, they make it a matter of
the first importance to remove the wouuded and

In these three several engagements in the
open field, the Insurgents had three killed and
some ten wounded ; while the loss on the part
of Imperialists was some thirty or more."
THE GOVERNOR'S VETO.
Governor Seymour veUxs the Anti Liquor
law with a will. He does it with a test, as
if be liked it. There's no half way work about
it, no lingering regrets. no twaddle about
painful necessities and solemn responsibil-
ties, itie uoveroor nu?s tue dui, ana puts
his foot ou it with emphasis, lie vetoes it as

lie seems to have modeled his .Message on tne
famous curse in Ti i stain Shawl y : he curses the
bill ty wholesale and in detail, all its parts
and all its purposes, everything belonging to
it or connected with it. He leaves no peg to
hang a hope on that his assent could ever be
had to any law prohibiting the sale of intoxica
ting liquors.
There are very few sober people in the State,
we suspect, who, upon a calm consideration of
the whole case, will not confess that the Gover
nor's objections to the details of the bill are
substantially sound and entitled to weight.
The bill was a bad one, full of odious and op
pressive provisions, and calculated, if carried
out. to overwhelm the Temperance cause, which
, would have been held responsible for it, with
' popular contempt. It was framed upon two
j o-itions, jirtl, that to sell liquor was to oom
: mit a crime : and tterond, that any means of de-
tectine and any mode of punishm? that crime.

Of course, men legislating upon such a basis,
tilled with such convictions, looking solely to

j fail to make a law full of crude and offensive
features. They lost sight for the moment of all
the other great interests, moral and material,
of the community, and overlooked entirely those
fundamental principlesof personal liberty which
lie at the basis of all our freedom, and which
nre far more important than any special acts.
Of course, legislation on such a basis cannot
stand. However strong the majority on any
: question may be, it cannot afford to be tyran
I nical, and that fact is the only guarantee the
people have against its tyranny. The impulse
i of the dominant party, in the first flush of vic
' tory, is always to pass extreme measures. Re
I flection generally tempers its disposition anJ
moderates its action, for uhraism is soon seen
i to lead directly tc reaction and defeat.
But in this case the extreme party had every
l thing its own way. They framed the bill, re
I jected all amendments designed to make it less
I oppressive, and extreme and extravagant pro
' visions. True, they have the consolation of re
I fleeting that any better bill would have met no
better fate. The Governor takes pains to have

to regulate religious creeds or forms of worship,

ures proves that the Legislature is attempting
to do that which is not within its province to
enact, or its power to enforce
This is taking brond around and destroys :

CALIFORNIA NEWS.
The following items are from our California
files up to the 1st March :
Gov. Foote and Gen. Wool have arrived at
San Trancisco. On the evening of the 25th, a
dinner was given to them by the Democracy,
Gov. Bigler presiding. Gen. Wool spoke with
caution, and did not commit himself. He said
that he was not influenced by any sectional feel
ing and the South and North were equally dear
to him.
Gov. Foote was toasted as the "champion of
State rights against the encroachment of Fed
eral power and patronage." In his response,
he spoke rather sharply of the conduct of the
present Cabi oct, and Of its justice toward him
self; but he had come hither for the sole pur
pose of practising law. and he bad made his
last political speech in New York.
Some of the opposition attacked Gen. Wool,
not because anything which be said at the din
ner could be distorted into offence to any party,
but simply because he was present and re
mained at a dinner where political speeches
were made. Hereafter it is to be considered a
grievous offence for an officer of the army to
dine with politicians.

19" From an able article in the Lexington
Gazette, on "ttje condition of the South," we
make the following pertinent extract :
"If such is tb6 condition of affairs in tlae
South, upon whom is it justly chargeable?
The Looofoism of this latitude has even up to
this time been constantly accusing Southern
Wbigs of disloyalty to Southern rights. But
aside from these empty accusations, whose
policy is it, that has fostered, strengthened and
populate I tbe free States, while it has checked
the growth and prosperity of tbe Sooth ? The
weakness of the South and growing power of
the North are mainly attributable to tbe insane
abstractions and suicidal policy of Southern
Locofocoism.
Look at the past history of the South ! wield
ing a power that controlled the sentiments of
the country, she has adopted a system of politi
cal faith, that has destroyed the energy of her
people and driven from her borders some of
the most enterprising of her sons.
She has uniformly opposed a tariff as a mon
ster of oppression on the one band and of pro
tection on the other, instead of taking advan
tage of it to build up manufactories in her
midst, that she might be able to live within
herself. If under the operation of the tariff,
the people of the South, with their unequalled
advantages, with mines and quarries of every
sort, with her immense water power; her inex
haustible supplies of timber, her endless varie
ty of agricultural products, the cotton growing
within her borders, and her slave labor, had
established manufactories of all kinds to work
up her own abundance of raw material if she
had pursued this policy instead of attempting
to break down the tariff and finding fault with
the North for doing what she would not, the
Sooth, both as a producer and manufacturer,
would now, instead of hanging on to the North
as a dependency, hold the North and the world
dependent upon her for supplies, both of raw
material and manufactured artielee. With her
fine hemp she could have furnished rope
enough to have hung every abolition agitator
tbe North could produce. But sbe would do
none of this she wanted no manufactories
she could get foreign goods cheaper than she
could make them with the material at her
hands and thus she crippled herself in ail the
elements of prosperity and greatness.
So in tbe distribution of the proceeds of the
sales of the public lands. Sbe would receive
no share of this common property, but it must
go to the states in which the lands lie, and 4ut
precious little of it lay in the South. The new
states took it, established their schools, con
structed their works of internal improvement,
their prosperity invited attention, and a tide of
emigration from all sections poured in, and
they obtained a political power that was never
dreamed of, so that they are now able to appro
priate, of the public lands, acres by the million,
for increasing their greatness and power over
the South.
And the South hung on to the stupid system
of self murder prescribed by the political prac
titioners of Locofoco quackery. No internal
improvements springing up to give energy and
industry to her people. No manufactories be
ing established to turn to double advantage the
endless variety of her products and resources.
No disposition to keep up with the age. No
effort to advance in all the elements of true
prosperity. Nothing to invite the emigration
of active and enterprising men from other sec
tions. The energetic and stirring of her own
sons leaving her borders and seeking homes in
the new states, where they might rise to wealth
and distinction. The labors and bustling ac
tivity of such were lost to the South and gain
ed by the North.
Such has been the effect of Locofocoism up
on the South. And so weak are we, that.
when asking for a principle, which, but for the
miserable abstractions of Looofoco politicians
which have held back the march of Southern
greatness, would be of vast advantage to the
South, but now in her crippled estate may be
barren as to its effects for good, we must rely
irnon Northern men to devise and carrv out tha
scheme, by which we hope to be advantaged 1

TnE QULF AND DEEP RIVER IRON MAN-
UFACTURING COMPANY.
GcS'TLKVCN : An Englishman of celebrity, by
the name of Mills, was sent to this country by
a Company, before the Revolutionary War, to
make explorations as to the quantity and quali
ty of Iron ore, with the view of establishing
works upon an extensive scale. And it is a
little remarkable, that Mr. Mills's report is da
ted 3d of July 1776, the day before the Declar
ation of Independence. His observations and
report were chiefly confined to a locality on
Deep River known as the Gulf, now the pro
perty of the Messrs. Haughton, at which place
it was proposed to erect Iron Works upon an
extensive scale. The breaking out of the war,
however, put an end to this scheme, and' tbe
Iron Works, und results anticipated, were all
lost to this English Company by a common de
votion of our people to the cause of Indepen
dence. It is known, however, that within a few years
past this region of country baa attracted the at
tention of our citisens, for the same reason
which prompted Mr. Mills to make his report.
It is also known that Bituminous Coal of the
highest character exists in large quantities upon
Deep Riyer, and its outcrop first discovered up-

richly enjoyed by tbe great State of Pennsyl
vania. . ' ' 'v . '.
Th gentlemen alluded to. upon the repreaen
tationslf Mr. Wren and Mr. McClane. formed
themselves into a Company on te day referred
to. undeMhe name and style of Tt Gulf and
Deep River Iron ManofaMoring Company, and
resolved upon an investment of $75,O0( capital
to erect Iron Works at tbe Gulf, tber Messrs.
Wren having subscribed for atock to tbi amount
of $5000. The Company have wade arrange
ments also with these gentlemen to farnwb all
the material from their work ahop in Pennaylva
nia for the construction of this work, and contem
plate having the whole in successful operation in
12 months. In addition to tbe ariMgetoenU thus
far made, tbe Company have contracted for the
property known aa the Or niU, which
feet mountain of metal, within 11 miles of the
Gulf, and inclose proximity to the Gulf and
Graham Plank Road. Your citisens, therefore.
Messrs. Editors, may expect to contract with
this Company for all tb iron your Railroad
will require, as it is. proposed to erect at once
two blasting furnace, a machine ahop and
foundry ; and, when they are complete, to estab
lish a rolling mill and ail other fixtures neces
sary to the demands of the Stat in any work
requiring iron.
This place, the Gulf, is the nucleus around
which the City, so confidently spoken . of by
Professor Emmons, is to grow.
It will be a prond day for old North Carolina,
when our own machine shoo and our own

OLD IRONSIDES.
From the Sheffield (Eng.) Times of March 11.
Suocxi.vo Dcatb or Ms. J. Harwooo. The
death of Mr. James Haywood, teacher of chem
istry at the Wesley college, Sheffield, occurred
on Thursday morning under most distressing
and melancholy circumstances. On th previ
ous evening, about six o'clock, Mr. Haywood
was engaged in thelaboratory at the college,
preparing for his lecture to th pupils that
evening, and it was necessary for him to pour
into a phial a quantity of sulphuric acid con
tained in a large bottle in a hamper.
It appears that the hamper was becoming
worn out, and Mr. Haywood incautiously lifted
up the bottle by itself, when the weight of the
acid broke the glass and ran on Mr. Haywood's
clothes. A quantity of the acid also fell on the
dress of a boy, a pupil at tbe college, who was
assisting him. and burned through nia clothes ;
but as the boy was rushing out of the place to
get some water, he waa seised by one of tbe
teachers, who tore off his burning clothes, and
held him, while be was pumped on with cold
water. By fhese means, and in consequence
of the fresh air which he inhaled, the boy es
caped with a few burns, and is now considered
out of danger. It fared differently, however,
with Mr. Haywood. On finding that the bot
tle had broken, he let it fall, and at the same
time he fell forward on the floor. He inflicted
a deep gash in bis hand with part of the bro
ken bottle. From this time Mr. Haywood ap
pears to have lost his presence of mind, and in
stead of holding his breath and escaping from
tbe room instantly, be lay for some moments
inhaling the deadly fumes of the poisonous li
quid. After remaining some time in the labo
ratory, breathing an atmosphere charged with
the exhalation of the acid, he was conveyed in
a very distressing condition to his home, where
he died about five o'clock on the following
morning. Mr. Haywood was an analytical
chemist of great celebrity, and occupied a dis
tinguished place as a public lecturer on chem
istry as applied to agricultural scienoe as well
as to manufactures. His loss will be deeply
regretted in Sheffield and many othor parts of
the country.
LITTLE AXICE.
7b the Editor of the Go., CkronieU and Sentinel-.
Dm Si: The following thoughts
were suggested by the funeral notice of "Little
Alice" Newby. If you deem them worthy a
place in your paper, they are at your service.
Respectfully yours,
"thi funkbal or unu alici."
Oh 1 what a world of suffering what a treasure-house
of love is compressed into that short
sentence ! How it tells of yearning hearts of
incaeu oosoms, oi tne desolate borne, once
made glad by tbe music of a child's voice, whose
every tote was, to the father's heart, like the
ringing of silver bells !
Can yon not almost see the scattered toys a
round the room? the empty crib, the fairy
slipper, taken off on that last night when tbeir
darling was undressed, and laid down to sleep ?
Can you not almost hear the broken baby tones
lisp out her evening prayer, and that sweet
"Dood night, Papa ?" Can you not almost aee
the little robe hanging near, which Mama had
embroidered for her darling, and which should
have been worn "to morrow !" the "to-morrow"
which never came 1
Oh 1 what an unveiling of heart-loves and of
neart acnes in that sentence, "The funeral of
Little Alice !" How hope and ambition and
joy nave oeen an laid down in the crave of
w "tame Alice." The Father's pride, which
looked forward to tbe day when she should en
joy the wealth, for whieh he had patiently toil-
cu mrougu years : wnen this babe should have
oecome tne accomplished, gifted, beautiful wo
man, "The admired of all eyes,
The desire of all hearts."
