Thomas. ;Thc similitude f these two passages will strike the tder who undert .nds- French as a very remarkable incidence, and we ask him to observe that it fails jelly in this point, viz : that Aristotle is not named f the French saranf in hi catalogue of -worthies. ;is 'Bacon, and Bacm alone, according to him, who ire to Newton l' le grand p7-incipe de ramonter des eriomenes vers les cmtse" in other words, the .'eat principle of induction. We -leave to Gilbert ansclf, the task of refuting the great Academician. But w;e will now turn our attention for a moment some other points in the ; Introduction," the ques tmahle -.character of which wijl not be denied, we esume, by " Gilbert" himself. " Democracy" ac frVKng to Webster, and in strict accordance with its jreek1 origin, signifies, " Government by the people ; nn of government in which the supreme power is Idged in the hands of the people collective!", or in iiicji'thc people exercise the powers of legislation." ssuming on the alleged authority of Locke, that everr man has the inviolable right to make words ;uhT fr ' what ideas he pleases," the writer of the Introduction" proceeds to employ-that well under- GOil term in a va-ue, contradictory manner, which fe pronounced ''extravagantly fanciful' That we jd him no injustice in this " questionable" point, our taders will, we think, almost unanimously aree with isr when w 6 cite for illustration a few very absurd entences. "After all", doubted or undoubted, our Jfemocracy. was known from the most remote times ; or it is sometimes a religion; which must and does jervade"-both political and civil institutions." Uis Democracy is sometimes a religion ! ' And of course it ts sometimes' not a religion, and it may be this or that according to. the 'fancy of the writer. We do not rfpicsiion his inviolable right to make the word stand Jor what ideas he nloaes. hiit we do insist' unon our l . ; 1 - ritit to be amused sf the verbal jugglery with which ko seeks to entertain the public. Again, " When the .dogma of Bratnah was realized by the creation of !vMfof;in'the civil institutions, it was the Indian De mocracy." . The system of caste is, as everybody knows, diametrically opposed to popular sovereignty, and to call it by the name of Democracy, is quite as absurd and grotesque an .idea as any we h..ve lately encountered. If he hadv'called the House of Lords the British 'Democracy, or the Mandarins 'the Chinese Democracy,- he could not have succeeded in sporting more fantastically wth classical Greek or the King's English. We might proceed to cite several other paia pr.iphs of a similar kind, but these will surely 'suffice to-vindicate ourselves from the suspicion of having loi e tlie w riter any intentional injustice. When an Juai infioduces himself to the public with the 'kw oi' entertaining, them, we bold that he ought to a.ltlrcss them in a language they can understand, m'mI sh-ould not insist upon being allowed to call white Had; and Uack white. In this position we are fully sustained by Mr. Locke, who, the reader will be sur-pri.-ed to learn, gives no countenance whatever o the assumption of ''Gilbert," but: on the contrary in B. 3. Chapter 10. sec 23. of his great Essay, says that the first end of language, " in onr discourse with others, is to make knowrtOne man's thoughts or ideas to an oMipr." :And in fh-6" same section he says, " words 'J'Ki id the first of these ends, and lay not open one niais ideas to another's view : 1. When men have na rues in tiu-ir mouths, without any determinate ideas in their minds whereof they are signs, or 2. When t y npply the common received names of any language t ideas to which the comtnba vse of 'that language do jwt 'apply them;' Thus has Mr. Locke, his own, chosen authority, ip a few words effectually condemn e 1, by ai tk ipation,-the Tery error which "" Gilbert " has in the first sentence of hi "Introduction" made the basis of his whole article! ' Wc thi.:k it must' be apparent to the candid reader that this erudite and supercilious contributor to the U nivcrsity Magazines equally at fault in the philosophy of history, ii nd tne history of philosophy; and that Ins brilliant appearance m our North Carolina heavens w ill not quite suffice to eclipse all the little trembling orbs that shine around him. We hope however, that he will not entirely vanish from view, but will fulfil 1'js promise 'Ho refresh the memory of his readers ith biograghical sketches of slighted great men" A brilliant opportunity will be afforded him of exhib i;inghis skill in autobiography. - " We have perhaps extended this reply to Philo- 'ert" farther than its impo iportance demands. "As ased said in one of his "Provincial Letters," we have ot had time to make it shorter. We add that we were sincere in declining to carp at the whole of the first article on the 44 Worthies of Democracy." The vein of absurdity fortunately stopped with the intro duction, and the biographical sketches tat followed arc much more rational and readable. When the au thor has completed the present series, we suggest that he undertake the " Worthies of Pedantry." DEATH OF THE REV. DE. "WTTHEBJ5P0 It will be seen, by an obituary in to-day's paper, that this eminent Minister of the Gospel died at his residence near Jhis place, on the 25th ult. Connect ed, as he had been, with the Presbyterian Church here, from 1816 to 1832, a its pastor: having been, as it were, the first to plant the btatnlard of the cross in this community; he had a stronghold upoq the es teem and affections of our citizens. His funeral took place on Monday, and in respect to his -memory the business houses were closed during the solemnities, and nearly all the citizens in the village attended the wirvices. In the eloquent tribute to the memory of the deceased, as a part of the funeral sermon, it was very appropriately suggested that a monument should : be erected by the members of the Presbyterian church and other citizens of the town, to the memory of Dr. Witherspoon, as he had done more, perhaps than any other man for the morals of the pl ice. We hope the suggestion will be carried into effect. Hilhsbord "Re corder. The venerable clerg3rman whoe death is announc ed in the foregoing paragraph, and whose works of usefulness and love have endeared his memory to so many of his fellow-citizens, was the grandson of the celebrated Dr. Witherspoon, of Nassau Hall, who bore so conspicuous a part in our Revolutionary His tory, and signed the Declaration of Independence. "The " Ad YBTiSERlTie fears expressed by the . Hillsborough Recorder and tbe North Carolina Whig, that this new feature in the publication Tof the South ern 'Weekly Post, will prove a failure, are founded in a misapprehension of the designs of the publisher. Whilst advertisements are to be entirely excluded from the Post, reading matter, often of the most inter esting kind,1 will generally be found in the Advertiser. Even supposing that the advertisements will escape the observation of many readers of the former, we feel well tatisfied that the largely increased circulation of the latter will more than compensate for it. We hope therefore that our friends will suffer no painful solici tude on this account. Sentence of Perrt. The Superior Court for Wake county commenced its regular sessions4n this city on Monday morning last, Judge Manly pre sidir g. We have heard of no new business of interest coming before the court. Samuel Parker Perry, convicted at. the Spring Term of the murder of his wife, was on Wednesday formally sentenced to be hung on Friday the. 28th of this month. The editor of the ''Giraffe ".has- associated with him in the conduct of that paper his; relative Mr. R. II. Whitaker. If the Junior is of w ith (he Senior, we may expect from1 the same stripe his accession an increased 'prosperity in the affairs of the aspiring ani mal. The Fayetteville North Carolinian comes to us in beautiful new type, and presents a very handsome ap pearance. We are very glad to observe these evi dences of increasing prosperity in our North Carolina press. Mr. Bryan has taken Mr. W. J. Yates as a partner jn the management of his paper. ' The " N. C. University Magazine " for October, is nowbeforeus. Wethink it will compare favorably with any preceding number. Mr. Hooper continues his ex-, cellent hist rical contributions, which we are sure will be read with interest by many. The industry, fidelity, and sound discriminating judgment, manifested in his ariicle,are creditable to himself and worthy of his sub ject. The series of 14 The worthies of Democracy " is also continued with an interesting sketch of Lamen nais. The Editorial Table is full and spirited. " Pop ular delusions" is ft well written, but rather unamia ble article directed against this p.iper. We have paid our. respects to it under another head. On the whole, the prose contents of this Number ::re calculated to re commend the Magazine to increased f.ivorand patron age at the hands of the public. c" McElrath & Barkers American edition of- IIoue hold Words," for this month, is replete with excellent and varied reading. ' Many of its contents are on use ful as well a"s entertaining subjects. The Ladies' Keepsake and thi Opal have also come to hand in good time. The respectable sources from which they come would recommend them, were their merits far less than they are. The October number of the National Magazine has just reached us in time to be acknowledged. It is beautifully, printedcontuns some pretty engravings and niany inviting articles. The Stethoscope fur September has al-o been receiv ed much later here than at some other offices. Its contents are useful and interesting to physicians. ; DEPARTMENT. NORTH CAROLINA ITEMS. Randolph GoLDj; The following information is from a correspondent in Randolph county. We are glad to see our neighboring county, which al ready possesses so many other elements of pros perity, give so fine promise of. rich minerals : "A few days ago a company Robbins, Alston, Brown and Hamlin bought a piece of land in the north-west part of the county, of Samuel Edwards, for the purpose of copper mining, for which it gave good indications. But after working one week they found gold almost as plenty as eppper. They have been taking out ore worth from one to twenty-iive dollars or more per bushel. Several pieces of lump gold as large as a grain of corn, weighing from one to two pennyweights, have. been found, and the vein is large and pa.vjf well. The company have beeiL at little expense yet, though they have got out a large pile of good ore. Huzza for Randolph ! She will yet be the El Dorado of North Carolina." Since the above was in type, we have been shown some specimens of gold ore, taken from" the Hoov- , er mine in Randolph, some 12 miles west of . Ashe-i borough. The miners at this hill appear to have; struck a new vein, which promises to prove richer than any heretofore worked in that vicinity. We are not competent to determine the value of the ore just shown us ; but some of the experienced mineralogists have pronounced it very rich. Orcensborough Patriot. Tue editor of the Hillsborough Recorder has re ceived a specimen of marble found upon Flat River by Wm. II. Jones, Esq." Mr. Jones thinks there is a great deal where this was found. i.

These interesting specimens of humanity have been purchased by Messers. Brower & Shelton, of this town, for the purpose of exhibition. - Our read ers will recollect that these twins created considera ble talk in the papers about a year ago. They were born in Columbus county, in this State, and were sold, by their owner, MtvJabez McKay,, to Mr. Jno. Pervis,.of Chesterfield District, S. O, of whom Messers. Brower & Shelton purchased them They are healthy, active children, and for their age, uuustially intelligent. The connection between the two is formed by the union of the spines in one. Many physicians have examined them, and pro nounce them the greatest curiosity ever seen or heard of, and so do we. Argus. For the. Fair. We are glad to see that our citizens are not inattentive to their own interest, nor deaf to the calls of State pride, in relation to the Fair which is to commence in Raleigh on the 18th of October. Messrs. Bobbitt & Minatree are putting up a line Carriage and a fine Buggy, and Mr. Crabtree is about finishing off a superb Buggy all intended for exhibition at the Fair. Others of our citizens are making preparations to exhibit other products, and we have no doubt Warren will be well represented on the occasion. The articles in the Carriage line, alluded to above, will be hard to beat, for strength, proportion and neatness of finish. Messrs. J. W. Fisher & Co. are putting up some Fan Mills,. Cutters, &c, to send up, which, if equal to some we have seen made by them, will compare favorably with auy made any where. Warrenton News. We are gratified to learn that Dr. Collins, the energetic and obliging President of the Sea-board and Roanoke Railroad, who has interested lumself, with a praiseworthy public spirit, in the success of the Fair, will pass all articles intended for the Ex hibition on the line of his road free of charge. He has also authorized us to state, that articles from Plymouth and that section of country will be brought up free of cost by- the boats on Black- water. - This is, indeed, liberal. : The Hon. A. "W. Vexable has accepted an invitation to deliver the address upon the occasion. The correspondence will appear in our next.-Iieffis-V.r. ' V - . A singular incident happened in Newberne or rather in the clouds above it, on Tuesday last. Just as (the severe thunder shower, which occurred on that day was in full blast, a large Turkey Buzzard was seen soaring at a threat height in the air, soar ing almost amung the clouds, above the distillery of James C. Steven Esq. Just as a vivid flash of lightning occurred, the bird came tumbling from aloft, but literally torn to pieces. The electricity, probably,- in passing from one cloud to , the other, struck him and sealed his fate. We do not recol lect of ever having heard of a similar instance of the effect of lightning. Newbern News. Sale of N. C. State Bonds. The bids for $500,000 w orth of North Carolina 'State Bonds, previously advertised for sale, were opened in the City of New York, on Friday last, in the presen ce of the Public Treasurer and other gentlemen. We learn- that the whole amount vva3 taken by the State of Alabama, at a premium of 3 per cent. The last 'Bonds sold brought 5 1-4 per cent., but, considering the stringency in .the. money market, the sale just made is regarded as every way favora ble and as giving flattering evidence '"of our public credit. Register. Quick Time. The schr. II. P. Russell, on her last trip from Wilmington, N. O, to Baltimore, carried the first bale of new cotton received per Wilmington and Manchester Railroad from South Carolina. The cotton was delivered in Baltimore on the 14th ult., to Messrs. .Win. Mason & Son, who manufactured it into duck, and on the 27th said schooner arrived back at Wilmington, with the duck, made from said cotton, in her mainsail. Arrest of a N. Carolina Negro. Thos. Yates, amulatto, was arrested on Wednesday week at Rich mond; and placed in the cage. Thursday he was before the Mayor, and examined on a charge of be ing there contrary to law, which charge was sus tained. He had come from N..CaroIina to the Races, having in his possession written evidence of free dom. ' He received orders to travel back. to North Carolina, as fast as his legs could carry him. Pet Ex. Lusus- Naturae: Mr. W.-G. Phillips living in this county, near, the South Carolina line, a fe v days since, sent us a remark-able phenomenon in the animal kingdom. It was a puppy dog preserved in alchohol having all the parts except the head of another smaller one attached to it at the broast, breast to breast. The only deformity which. ap- peared in the larger one was in the size of its head, which seeired to be large enough for both. We shall probably send it to the Charleston Museum. Charlotte Whig. More articles for the Fair. Since our last issue, we have ascertained that there are several others of our citizens who intend carrying up arti cles for exhibition at the State Fair. Among others from Warrenton, we have learned that Thomas W. Rowlett, Esq., intends to exhibit an elegant set of carriage harness, and, perhaps, a line saddle. From his' long experience and skill in the harhess-mak-ing line, we have no doubt his contributions will do credit to himself and to Warrenton. Warren ton Neics. More Copper. Wm. F. McKesson, Esq., of Burke, left in our possession a few days ago two very fine specimens of copper ore, found, he informs as, on a tract of land belonging to him in the county of Ashe, about 1 8 miles from Jefterson and some 4 miles from the Virginia line. One speci men is taken from the surface ; the other about five feet below ; they both indicate the presence of rich ore. Asheville Spectator. Fire ! ! We regret to learn that on Tuesday morning last, the dwelling house of Mr. Jas. L. Cobb, at Falkland, in Pitt county, was totally con sumed by fire, with a portion of its contents. The roof caught fire from sparks from the chimney, and all efforts to arrest its. progress proved unavailing. Tarborough Southerner. Broke Jail. Sylvester Mayo, a free negro, and a negro man by the name of John, broke the Jail of Halifax County, on the night of the 28th, of September, l&oZ.-Roanoke Republican. GENERAL INTELLIGENCE. DOMESTIC. Operations of thb Mist. By the report of the Treasurer of the Mint, for the month of Sep tember, we find that the gold coinage for the month was $4,221,598 ; less than one fourth of which was in small coin, $3,321,490 being- in double eagles. Considering the urgent demaud in various quarters for gold dollars and quarter eagles, we re gret that so large a proportion of the coinage has been of the larger denominations The silver coin age was one and a quarter millions, principally in quarter and half dollars. The copper coinage of cents still goes on, 310,000 having been coined last month, that is $3,100. There was deposited of gold bullion from California, $2,975,000, and from other sources $50,000, the whole gold deposits reach ing $3,025,000, and of silver bullion; $320,500.

A correspondent of the Mobile Advertiser, dating- at Odium's ' Springs, savs : -On the night of the 19lh a most singular change in the weather took place. When we went in to supper the atmosphere was close, hot and oppressive. Half an hour after, when we came out, a cool wind was blowing, rendering cloth clothes desirable. The thermometer had fallen frou. 82 clog, to 76 deg., and the sky was obscured bv fleecy clouds in every direction. Short ly afterwards, a most brilliant lunar rainbow made its appearance, and was followed by a bright mete or, which ran, or fell, as it were, from East to West, amid the womler of the assembled crowd. Since then die weather has been cool by day and even cold by night, the thermometer ranging from 76 to 68 deg." Resignation and Appointment. Rev. C O Jones has resigned his place as secretary of the Old School Presbyterian Board of Domestic Miss ions, on account of ill health. Rev. Dr. Musgrave, corresponding secretary of the Board of Publication, has-been elected to the station thus vacated. Dr. Musgrave residetT'fr-lRIHiy' ears in Baltimore, and possesses high qualifications fjr Ttii -pQition to. which he has been called. Bait. San. Kiss axe Convicted Railroad Accident. Cincinnati, Oct. 1. The jury in the case of Kis sane have brought in a verdictof guilty. Thursday evening as the train on the Dayton and Toy Railroad was passing Picayune Lock, two cows were caught by the locomotives, which resultccf 'in a"friglitful smashing of cars, but fortun ately no person was seriously injured. The Recent Comet. Reports on the new com et from nearly all the principal observatories of Europe have been received. It has been distinctly visible at Dieppe, France, fiom the 'seashore. The astronomer Hind, assigns it a diameter of 8,000 miles, and to its tail a length of four and a half millions, and a breadth of 250,000; distance from the earth sixty-eight millions of miles. Chinese Corn. Wm. D. Philips, Esq., has sent the Nashville American a specimen of Chinese corn, of which he has-about one acre growing. It is a curiosity, differing as it does, in various res pects, from the Indian corn. It is said that it will produce one hundred bushels to the acre. Pit. Express. The Cotton Crop. The Charleston Mercury states that in three of the heaviest cotton growing districts in that State-Edgefield, Newberry, and Abbeville the planters do not expect to realize more than half a crop of cotton, and of that more than a proportionate share will be of inferior qual ity. The Pennsylvania Siate Fair. Pittsburg, October !. The Fair closed yesterday, and it is acknowledged to have been the finest ever held in the State. It is estimated that fifty thousand strangers were in- the city during its continuance. The weather was fine throughout, and everybody was delighted. The anniversary of the rescue of the fngitive slave Jerry was celebrated at Syracuse last Satur day. A despatch from that city states the attend ance was not so large as last year, owing to the fact that the citizens took but little interest in the affair. Progress of the Yellow Fever. New-Orleans, October, 1. The interments to-day, were 33, including 15 from fever. Mobile, Oct. 1st. The interments to-day v.re 11, including 6 from the' yellow fever.

The property consisted of three hundred and thirty-seven acres. : Bust of CoLumbcs. Mr. II. D. Grigsby, of Norfolk, Va., has just received a handsome bust of Christopher Columbus, executed to his order in Florence, by Alex. Gait, Jr., a promising young artist from Norfolk. Pet. Ex. Judge Mason, of Richmond, Va., it is said, has certainly been tendered the mission to France, and will probably accept it. He is rapidly recovering from his late illness. Death of ax Editor. Col. F. W. Selleck, editor of the Abbeville, (S. C.) Banner, died on the 20th ult., aged 24 years. Hon. Abbott Lawrence, of Boston, has-given $500 towards building tlie Pilgrim Monument at Plym outh Rock. An immense ox,J weighing 4,000 pounds, was exhibited at the State Fair, at Montpelier, Vt., last month V ' - Vt.. ;; FOREIGN. Mr. J. B, Lindsay, of Dundee, who is at present in Glasgow, propounds a startling theory that of forming an electric telegraph betwixt Great Britain and America without employing submerged wires, or wires of any kind. At the meeting in the Ath enaeun, Mr. Lindsay illustrated his methxl. A large trough of salt water was employed, across which ie transmitted the electric current, without any metallic conductor, the water itself being the only medium of communication. Mr. Lindsay ex plamed that he had obtained similar results over a breadth of sixty feet of water. Some calculations have been made in regard to the expense, and Mr. Lindsay computes, according to his present inform ation, that the cost of the necessary battery and land 'wires to established a communciation between England and America would not exceed 60.000. Robespierre's Guillotine. Among a lot of old luuibet recently sold at auction, in Taris, was the guillotine of the Reign of Terror, and the basket be longing to it, into which the heads of iLs victims dropped, nnder the bloody system of Robespierre, including the head of that heartless butcher him self. This manehine', frame work, sliding knife, and basket, certified by a government officer, was sold at public auction, before an immense crowd of spectators, for fifty francs; and all articles were committed to a bonfire, amid the cheers of the people The marriage present made by the Emperor of Austria to the Duchess de Brabant was a diadem of large diamonds, the centre one being an exceed j ingly fine rose diamond. The Archduchess gave the young bride a broad belt tor the waist, made of diamonds and pearls ; and the Aichduke a toilette service of silver. Other members of the imperial family;vpresented her with jewels and dresses of various kinds. A despatch from St. John's, N. B., announces that a rnost destructive gale prevailed in that vicinity last Thursday. A large number of vessels were driven ashore, and it is probable that many others went dovvn with, all on board. The.storm is represented as having oeen the most violent that has occurred in twent wears. N. Y. Jlerall. The .Yellow Fever' at Bermuda. New York, Sept. 30. A gentleman from Bermuda states that the deaths from yellow fever at St. George's, up to the 25th, amounted to 300, out of a popula tion of 2,500. The disease was abating when he left. The Madiai Family is in Geneva, recovering from illness occasioned by confinement in Tuscan prisons' No -adequate provision has been made or their support, Rosa is very feeble, but her hus band is improving rapidly. FULL DETAILS BY THE STEAMER AMER ICA. The steamer America reached Boston on Friday morning, from Halifax, as we learn by telegraph We have the following details of her important news Irom Liverpool, the 17th ult. The Asiatic cholera is sprendinr in England. Of over 100 cases at Newcastle, 50 proved fatal. The weather iii Ireland was very fine, and the Turkey and Russia. s,n. Relative to the Eastern question it was currently reported although ho foundation was apparent for the report that Turkey had attacked the Russian outposts, but that nn general engagement had taken place. Tlie following are the words of the Vienna despatch: r ' , . - "The Czar rejects the Turkish mod reflations, but abides by the Vienna Note, and promises to evacuate the principalities if the Porte accepts it, pure and simple." This yet leaves one chance for peace. The Turks were quite ripe for war, and Omar Pasha had great difliculty in restraining his troops from hostilities. Fanaticism on both sides was at its height; Anomymous placards on the walls, calling on -the-faithful to attack the Russians, had much excited' tlie people. It was only on the special de mand of the representatives of the greatjpowers thai the Sultan had consented to postpone the issuing of his manifesto to his people. This manifesto is in warlikelanguage, and is indeed a declaration "of war. England and France and the Eastern Ques tion. No disagreement exists between France and England on the Eastern question. A Courier had arrived in Paris bringing . the de cision come to the day before, by the four Ministers, viz: Lords Aberdeen, John Russell, Clarendon and Palmerston. Another Courier took his departure from Mar seilles, with orders to embark there at once, leaving a dispatch for Lord Stratford de Redcliffe, which, it is said, in a Avel I informed quarter, enjoins him to employ every means to induce the Sultan to accept without delay, the note of Vienna, without modifi cation. His Lordship is authorized to allow the English Squadron to enter the Bosphorus, and to disembark troops tor the purpose of causing the Sultan's de-. cision to be respected. A Courier is also at once to be dispatched to Omar Pasha, forbidding him to commence hostili ties in any wav. France. The Paris Moniteur publishes the trea ty of February between Fiance and the United States, respecting Consular Agents. Public attention continued chiefly occupied with the price of food. Austria. The Austrian Consul General at Smyrna had been decorated. Vienna letters say : It is fully expected here that the Washington Cabinet will consent to Koszta be ing given up to the Austrian authorities at Smyrna." 1 Germany. The London Times correspondence says that the German papers almost universally .asert that the United States are backing Switzerland in her oppo sition to Austral, and promise her active assistance. The recent appointment of a U. S. Minister to Berne, the self-eonfidence in the Ticene difliculty, and the boldness of the Americans in the Koszta affair are the grounds stated for this belief. The Bund thinks the report improbable, and .says that there is a more probable belief throughout Germany that the Cabinet of Vienna is endeavoring, in connection with its grievances in the Koszta affair, to induce the governments of Europe to demand from the United States government a declaration of its views on the subject of intervention in European politics on the laws of nations in general, and on the sub ject of citizenship in particular. The latter being confessedly not clear, gives rise to continued remon strances ;by American representatives, especially in Germany, where emigrants returned from the Uni ted States are claimed.
