And the only possible way to make the latter experiment of enfranchisement a snc ces. is to give the targest lilserly to the cdiieatetl nes of an eoual distribution of the proceeds the sale of the public lands, or an equal distri- tion of the Isnds themselves to nil UieState, for entionat and Internal improvement purpose. nifferent enactments bv Congress, have within trie last decade, granieo ny estimarioi) iza.wo, 000 acres of onr raiblic domain to the Union Pa cine, th Central Pseific, tbe Northern Pacific and the Memphis, El Paso Railrosds.

The quantity of land granted to-these improve- meoU j greater in area, by 5,000,000 acre than tbeaix New England States, including N. York, New Jersey, I'ennsylvania, Obio, Delaware, Marvland and Virginia. The public domain ia a great national heri tage, and North Carolina is entitled to her share of it. Of this common territory there is now unsold 1,396,286,163.94 acres. Now let me as certain how many acres belong to you. The present population of the United Statea is, say fri round numbers, 40,000.000. Of this number N. Carolina has 1 .000.000. Thus it will be per- iy,tt nv a matnemaucai calculation maiwe are, of common right, entitled to 31,907,154 acre. Could this number of acrea.be appropriated for the sole use of rhe State, as it should bev and ju diciously sold, it wotild produce the enormous sum of at least $70,00,000. This amouhi of money would be sufficient, if properly investevl, to discharge our legal State debt and build all the rail roads we might need for the next half century, or it would be ample to educate all the ii. utile of the State now ami for all time to come. In this ace of boasted ciTiliiation It ia a shame' and a crime, that millions are appropriated an nually orer all christeridom for war, and only a few thousand dollars doled out for educational purposes'.

House of Bcpresentntiycs, Washington, D. C. JJEAR SIR : 1 ara satisfied that a law can be enacted that will readily contemplate tbe distilleries of our section of the Country without detriment to those of other eeetiona. We need a taw that will enforce the collection of a capa city tax on steam distilleries, and one that will applv to the -oIIeetion of a capacity tag on the I 1 A i r ..'ll ii l 1 , k I Kiuu oi Mills uae-u iit our ptsupic, inun u ns ii.c common tub copper still, without attachment of any kind. The present law was created in or der to enforce the collection of the tax from large steam distilleries. Tbe industrial interests of-nur section of country ia estopped by it. With us it n mounts to a complete prr.hiMtion. Onr farmer could ln.dav reiilixe $1 .00 herhllsh- rfel for their corn, if tbe distillers were permitted to distill it. i. It is clear to my mind tJiat th(e whiskey law ought to he incorporated into three sections, ami by it proper appTTcstion $HK),UUM could le collected in this district per annum. I believe there are not' Jess than one thousand stills owned in this district, of various capacities', ranging from forty to one hundred and afiy gal lons. I reckon a still of 125 to 150 gallons ca pacity capable of producing 1,300 gallons of whisker per annum, estimating 2 gallons to the bushel of grain, which is, by our process, a large estimate. ' Now I propose a special capacity tax of $500 shall be imposed on each and every still of E 25 and not more than 150 gallons capacity, parable quarterlv ; a tax or JvlisJ per annum on each and even.- still of 100 and not more than 125galton capacity ; and a tax of $.300 per annum on each and every still lasa than 100 gallons capacity. Onr people need a whiskey law greatly .simpli fied. A law such as 1 suggest will require no metis, no store-keepers, no $2.00 per diem, no inspectors, no ikt gallon tax, and no other un necessary rubbish. No other mode of taxation than the one auggcat-xl above can satisfactorily apply to our people. Our people are poor. Ttrry cannot introduce new systems, involving laree expenditures. 1s t us have a law for our i people that will advance their prosperity. v. ery Kespcctlullv, Signed II. H.

The people in possession of them horses hare been permitted to retain them until now. Now. I know that the interest of the Government will be greatly subserved if the people are permitted to keep this stock, and that it will lie injurious both to the Government and the people should it be taken from them. The people's interest is the (iovemment's interest. No one believed but a few thousand dollars Revenue tax could be assessed in this district for the present and next year.

I need not any to you that I am the foe of the svstem of reckless extieiiiiitare and fraud, which have existed in the Stale dining the last tab years; and which hare destroyed its credit, and brought disgrace upon it good name.

Now, let us see what this means: Webster's Dictionary, the best authority in th World, give the political definition or the word l onservative thus : 1ne who hohl int r nediate or moderate opinions in politic ; 2d, one who desires to maintain exist ing instil utions and customs; 3d, opposed to rmJuiionary or radical." The second ooristrnc tion of tbe meaning of tbijaord Conservative, to wi: -'one who desires to maintain existing institution! and customs," I diravow in part, but embrace the other two,, most cordially. The name authority defines the word Repub lican lo be one who favor or prefers a republican form of ( iovernment, and a Republic as a "State in which the sofejign ,0m' Is exercised by representative elected by the people," or in oth er words, a government of the people by the people.

The question littcly mooled by a correspondent of ihe Columbia ( 8.' '0. J ' Ftomil- the "Weekly Sun" of the 5ih inst.wlieth er Marshal Key and Peter '8, Ny v.erc fileiitic.il individuals, miy now perplex scholars, lawyers and historians, as much as (he eases of Williams and Buukley did some years agotie. I propose in a bum suitable to my lime, absence of historical t ., . , ii . ; T . .1 ! aUihoiities and your valuable space, to cast altUle'llgllf on tnl JsltjWrt, utwBW from personal oliseryationatid expertanee JTJie writer says WberTI cahie fmm Alabama to Davit; Co., N. C , in 1829, a mVltet ions person calling himself Peter Stewart Key was .eacbins.BjBbJ.in that rounly." We saw Mr. Key for the first - tune, anterior to this date. e vfnted him at nts school in company with two nephews then his pupils. About 1833, and fur years after, until his death, our in; 1 1 course ws as familiar' as could be between persons of different ages audtrrf ferent ages and pursuits, he, being old, a resident of the country and a teacher, -wepw ciliaen ef town and a. la w student under the present Chief Justice of the Supreme Court of North Carolina. The venerable and dignified deport ment of Mr. Xey his imperial air - his great learning and unexampled scholar shiphis perfect acquaintance with the Greek and Latin classics, the modem lan guages and especially the history of .the French Revolution and every particular in relation to the personal, civil and mili tary career of the Great Napoleon ; these qualities of mind and person, united to an impenetrable mystery which clung around his own history a mystery, which noth ing could surprise or remove, attracted every one like tbe secret properties of the magnet. There was a something about ibe man winch once seen, seemed to say "I dare you to forget me." It stamp ed itself on the brain in letters never to' be blosted ont "I am not booked on ihe roll ofeommon awn.'' He appeared, to others, what we often heard him s i iu regard to Napoleon "that he was the on ly mortal be could never look full in tbe eye.'' We have seen Mr. Ney under all cir cumatanees. We have seen his courage tested and his face never blanched, nor hia nerves never treinbled. We haye seen him when the saying of Horace "In rina, est Veritas," could be best verified. We have seen him at midnight, courting and recording the inspiration of Muses; We have seen him kiss the portrait of Jo- fepiime, while the tears ol anYclion au: tLa memnriea of tho dead past rolled down hit farrowed, aud bronxed cbeuka. We hare heard him tell with remarkable par ticularitr, ilia ftXavloiu ot the Great Cap- Wain, aa the French Kaalea were borne iii triumph as wi II auiid the aauda of f'gypi, aa the anowa of Kuaaia yet in all plaoea, twd under all circumatanees, tba mystery f hia own life was untold he alill graap ed the key to tli s crcta of bis paat ; and no "open aessape" whether of frtondslilp, or conviviality, could ever persuade hiiu " ""l checkered existence. Aa be Heed, ao be died, and like tbe writer of tba Let (era of Junius, hia secret who be waa f died with him. We hare, bean enriooa to know the past history of tula moat singular nan, and thank the correspondent of the Phoenix for the information he baa been pleased lo make known to the public. The best re turn we cm make for his kindness ia to record briefly a few other particulars con nee ted with (tie life of Mr. Ney. He landed in Charleston, S. C , after die battle of Waterloo, which w know was lough . on the 18th of Juue, 1815. He taught school for a few year near Chcraw, 8. C, and then removed to Da vit, N. G., then a portion of Rowan coun ty. Here he lived the greater part of his life. He died about fifteen years ago at tbe residence of Osborne Foard. Esq., the brother-in law of the late Gov. John W. Rllis. His remains were buried in Third Creek Church Yard, Rowan county, and on tbe marble monument is inscribed (at welt aa we remember) these words- "Hera lies the body of Peter Stewart Ney an officer under Napoleon Bonaparte." These simple words may mark the but resting place of the man who was known as the "Bravest of the Brave" the right arm of Napoleon, and when the star of the "Child of Destiny" went down in blood on tba field of Waterloo, cheered the broken spirit of his captain with the reply "The Guard dies, but never sur renders." With the permission of Mr. Foard, we examined the papers of Mr. Ney soon ut ter In dear )i We found any quantity of Poetry and Prose on all subjects, bnt no thing to throw light on the object of our search his own life. Tbe longest and most labored production of bis mind, was a History of tbe French Revolution writ-- i-1. - ... , -j, i j i , .. .i t. which we could not understand, bnt in part was explained to us by Dr. Matthew Locke, one of his former pupils. Mr. Foard told us that a night or two before be died, he destroyed all of his more pri vale correspondence and among mem some ship letters lately ship letters lately received rrom i . 1 ... i r France, which contained valuables. Jf you can spare the space, wo wish you would re-publish the description of his person by the Phoenix correspondent, which is very correct, except the omiss'on of the sabre cut mark, over his head. It may lead to a comparison of the known personal appearance of Marshal Ney. Here it is " "Ney was n man about five feet ten inches high, heavily set and compactly trail 1 1 bo weighed about 170 or 180 pounds, and was of extraordinary muscu lar development. He had every appear anco of a large, rough Scottuh Highlati def, of symmetrical proport tons, well adap ted to energy nnd endurance ; qualities which Mr. Ney possessed In a high de gree. He was more adapted to Hercule an strength than agility. Hia baek was straight shoulders broad and a little stoope.d, bewHsWell balanced, the top bald, the back aud sides of the hed covered wrth Irah evriiee sroburn, but t hen a lii 1 1 c silvered ; his nose was straight and very large, with a massive end; his mouth large and broad ; lips firm, the under ap parently a little thicker than the upper ; complexion florid, face full nnd pitted with email pox, countenance a nitle down, but stern, thoughtful and intelligent ; his eyes no' large, hut rather biilliant, indi eating a strong percep ive and penetra tive intellect We have not the books at hand lojudge whether or not this description corres ponds with (he recorded portraits of Mar shal Ney, but wo learn from a gentleman who haa seen the statues and paintings of the Marshal, in France, that tbe two gen erally agree. V In the language of the editor of tha Phoenix, the qnestion returns? -"If this person was not Marshal Ney, who was net" Altbongh it is possible, we do not think it probable, that the Marshal, and I a. Ney were the same persons. Marshal Noy, like nearly all of Napoleon's .Mar shals, was not classically educated P. iv Ney was a scholar without any doubt. It may be replied that the Marshal may. have learned to w.-ite and speak Seotch, French, Italian, English and Russian iu his intercourse with these nations, when in the "Grand Army." If so, is there an instance on record of the Greek, Latiu and Hebrew having been learned perfect ly, aftei years of maturity T Such a task, would overmatch the powers of even Eli hn Burrett, thf'Learned Blacksmith." and the greatest of modern self-taught languists. Could Marshal Ney have escaped tbe doom pronounced by the Allies', after his defection, whu.JNapoleon escaped from Elba, in the manner related by the Phoe nix correspondent T We think not, from the form of rtilitaryeCTtionrwolnrve witnessed, and the gnat and supposed dangeroua character of the intended vic tim. We believe that P 8. Ney once held a distinguished position under Napoleon, but nonm Marshal .---The -mystery of his life may have been caused by the fear of involving bis French friends in his sa cs no during the reign of the Bourbons. He has gone down to the grave leaving no sign as to who he was. Like the great est Captain of tbe g, he devoted bis im mense experience and learning; in tha lat ter years of his life la tba education of Amerieau youth, and thousands will be dew the grave of the unknown stranger, with tears of affection and gratitude. No foot pi in t ot hia blood will ever be aeon around bis tomb, bast b 4spa aa sound ly as the hero, who only surrendered t Death, can sleep, amid the flowers of Pirn la Chaise. He breathed Ms last breath, not like his (rest Commander, amid the bowlings of a tempest and the deep bass of a vexed ocean sounding in his exiled ears, bat with his last wants supplied by kiad.and hospitable hearts and hands. M . White Snlphar Springs, Ga. DO YOTJ'EVER FORGETf5 A little boy went np into his room one night, raid bis prayers very properly, and wend to bed. But ho could not sleep. He tossed from side to side, counted hundred forwards, and backwards, reci ted to himelf the multiplication table, long poems and hymns ; but try as ha might, be co aid not gto sleep. Ho had neglected something, and it bad weighed so heavily upon his conscience, that it waa impossible for bim to find rest. At last he got np, groped bia war down stain, to Ins mother's room, and timidly knocked at the door. "Who's there V cried bis father. "It is I, pa." "Well, who are touT" Ho had several other children, and, upon first awakening, conld uot distin guish the voice. "It is Met, pa. Please let me come In." "What do you want, Matt Ara you siek I" "No, sir, I am not sick, but I must ace mother." At this tbe mother got on iu the dark and unfastened the door. When the lit tle boy fonnd her, he threw his arms a round her neck and kissed ber warmly. There were tears on bis cheeks, aud tears got it mother, indeed 1 did ; and 1 could not sleep when.1 thought of it." You may be sure the mother was by this time in tears herself. They werj tears of gratitnde to God for having given her such an affectionate child. She drew him to her and kissed him again and again, and with a blessing upon bim dis patched bim .again to bed. Tho burden off his conscience, he soon fell asleep; and never again, until he left home a man, to battle with (he great wicked world, did he forget to kiss his mother good night. Now a story is not worth much which does uot '"point a moral." It seems to me, little children who for get to pray before they go to sleep at night, should feel far worse than the little boy who forgot to kisa his mother. And seme little ones do forget their pravera. They are so very sleepy when tuejrtdo grow sleepy, that they fall down any-, where, and before they know It they are sound asleep, without ever asking God to take care of them through the dark, long night. Now, if God wero as forgetful as they are, ho might forget to take care of these forgetful little ones, and death migh t come and lock them in his coldLemhrace before tliey could ever ice the beautiful Last 3 1 TrrTt r mnn " ' ' . " " Dear little ones, let the good night pray er toGod go with the good-night kiss to dear)mamma, and in the course of time yoinwill not be able to do without either, Except through pain. The time may come when yon will not have a dear mo ther to kiss good-night, for God may take mother to himself; but there never will be a time when you cannot pray to God. f on need not probe for him in the dark uess, down the stairway, for he is by you in your chamber, it matters uot where, nor how dark it may be. Do not forget to kiss mother good -night, but, above off things, do no t forget t o ask God to take care of yon before you go to sleep, and not only you, but your father, mother, brothers, sisters, and all friends. Do not forget your prayers. . Tbe following paragraph from an ex change is worth more than a corner in a "news column : ' "It is said when mechanics have land they generally give it better cultivation than farmers, and consequently have more grapes, pears, strawberries, watermelons, and cucumbers. They devote more car and labor to a small apace, and reap a larger pr.fit from it." If any one will look at the immense crops a very small garden will produce for a family, and compare it with the lit tle crops from very large firms, they should need" no better inducement to en rich their soil high). The great point to remember is this, that labor is the great item in farming ; but that it takes no more labor to farm rich ground than poor ground. We have. as it were, double crops with the same single labor. Neve- make that man yonr friend who hates music or tbe langh or a child. We can do a great deal fpr onr friends, but there are some things we cannot do. We cannot repent for thtm, or die for them. ,
