A Jl'DSOX MASON, Clerk Bokom Sup. Court. Aug. 30, 1870 35:6V pd SENSIBLE. We copy the following from the Ne Berne jiepuottcan, and endorse every word : Newspaper men are al ways aettinr forth the advantages of advertising. They try to prove if there is anr "Royal Road" to fortune, that judicious advertising is that road. They cite examples of meu who were not worm a dollar a lew years ago, and who art now rolling in wealth and luxury ; and they tell us that this magi cal change of fortune was all brought about through the agency of advertising. The evidence in favor of advertising is certainly too strong to admit of a reason able doubt of its efficacy as a business stimulant and tonic. Advertising brings popularity, and popularity brings success. M r m rS wMM, ta oUbU a Ll:al I. . in the hands of an individnal, what is to prevent it being of far more power in t'.ie bands ol a community I it a bu-iuuss man, uy me, outlay ol a lew dot an, can increase his business several hundreds of dollars, what is to hinder a Town, a County, or a State from increasing its bu siness by means of a little money spent in judicious advertising f It advertising Bttiente an individual, it will benebt a community. Then in the name of com mon sense, I ask the Press of North Car olina, Why you do tint tidvertisu the na tural advantages of the Good Old North State ? Why not bring the entire news paper force of the State to bear on the sub ject ? Let every town and every county have its peculiar advantages : let each paper st forth the advantages of its own particular neighborhood, but let them unite in advertising the State in geueral. Why not declare a political truce, discontinue, bitter political and personal articles. Do not pander to the tastes of a few depraved politicians who gloat over a ''red hot ui- ticle" as the buzzards gloat over the pu trid carcass of a dead mule. Endeavor to build up the business of the State ; invite the capitalists, the mechanic and the la borer to join us in developing the uiilirri ted resources of this good old State. It certainly lies within the power of tbe North Carolina press toturn a large stream ol he nde f immigration Inwards the siion s nt mis mate ; and all that i re quired is to stop advertising "Ku Kluxers" 'Uiiioti Leaguers"and all "Politicianers." For Cod's snke give tha old North Slate the benefit if the writ of "ilabeaa Cor dus," releare her front tile claims of poli tics, give her a rest, give ber a breathing spell. Let a healthful stream of immigra tion course through her veins and build up In r wasted energies. Remember that immigrants looking for a place to settle in, cannot be expected to come to North Car olina, if you continue to fiarht aud auarrcl and scold, arid make believe that a terri ble reign of terror is boveiing over tbe State. The excitement created by the politi cians of the Stale would not amount to much if the Press would only chronicle the work accomplished, and not deign to notice the little side-show fights that take place outside of the arena. Oentlmen of the North Carolina Press, we appeal to yon in the name of the good people of the State, to advertise the Slate. Let the outside world know that tbe, Old North State can, and does offer aa many induct - mi nts to tbe capitalist, the merchant and the laborer as any State in the Union.

As to ChicagOiaJfiwre divorce ia in the air, statistics aud culled facts of last year's compuign, from Marcb, 1S69, to March of tbe present year, are also interesting I'he whole number of divorces applied for u the ilecordor s court whs 447 ; in the Circuit court 36, and in the Superior court, from January to July, 1868, it was 86 n all ,ii,: ; to winch, in order to form an stiiuutf, about liny should be uddnd to make up the y ear's balauce, a goodly pile how limited Was Tennysdjn's notion that in the spiinffc p. opie s taney lightly turns t thoughts of love, may be seen from the lact that at the opening of the vear the fancy of more persons to thoughts of di vorce than to those of matrimony, rising, on the average, from about to seventy. The. fact tha: desertion figures so largely us a cause of marital difficulty in Illinois is due, among other things, to tbe unsta ble and migratory tendencies of Westet.i life. Intemperance, which is another source of this moral abomination, is a ne cessary consequence of living in tbe ex hausting, because intoxicating, climate of the West, where (or the same reason, in sanity is prevalent. In all climates and under all conditions it is the nature of wo man to be discontended. In the East tliis peculiarity appears in woman's rights agitations, salacious literature, curtain lec tures, nnd assumption of the garb of men; in the West it crops out as divorce be cause of facility. Io Illinois, whether the husband gains or loses a divorce suit, he is responsible for all costs therewith connected, and Ossa upon Pelion while the suit is going on the wife can enjoin him from the use or possession of his own real and persoual property. 1 has la ch mate aided and abetted by law. and di vorce made eaay.

The notable fac. is that King William, at the Prussian headquarters, c '111111.1 mis the aitny of United Germany. The dream of German philosophers aud statesmen for a' century has been accom plished by the rudej stroke of Benedefti's diplomacy in an hour. The soldiers ot Bavaria, Wurtemburg and the petty Ger man States, that a year ago would almost as soou have thought ol fighting under the French ti i-color as beneath the Prussian eagles, now accept toe orders of the Crown Prince as it they were already a part of the Prussian nationality.

In a remarkable passage of his very re markable book on the French army a book which, in the light of recent events, assumes an alntoat prophetic character irochu thus speaks of tbe temper In which war must be viewed by soldiers who are also citizens: "I must bear my witness, " he says, "to a troth with which my own experience has has deeply mi pressed me, when I declare that nothing less resembles war and battle than the common descriptions of both. War, which imposes so bmrt sacrifices in men and money en the people who engage in it. end upon the armies which make it so many trials and efforts, breeds, especially in tbe countries over which it is wsged, most inevitable misery and disorder. Those of old time always degenerated, and in our own timea often still degener ate into outrage, violence and devastation, wreaked upon tbe innocent and habitual ly inoffensive populations which are tram pied under foot by the contending hosts Here are the real, widespread, terrible evils of war. They are little spoken of, if they are spoken of at all, for the cry ot these ruined people is stifled by the emo tions of the battle -field and of polities. But the spectacle of these dumb and help less Bufferings is heart-breakiug to every soldier who possesses tbe least magnanim ity. All such soldiers are amazed that modern civilization, which is so proud of having supplanted force iu the dealings of man with man by principles aud by the law, should still be attempting to settle international disputes by letting loose the scourges of war. The soul of such sol diers sickens with scorn at tbe aspect of carpet knights who invoke war and cele brate its glories in a conventional jargon which betrays their vanity, their ignor ance, their ambition and their pretension. But, at the same time, the duties and the responsibilities ot iiigit command cannot rut to elevate the sentiments of atl sucti men. To lead, then, troops, by the au thority of character and of example, into adopting tbe habits snd accepting the rules ot discipline; to dispose them to consideration and kindness towards non combatant populations ; to inspire the soldier with respect for himself, with re spect for the mission confided to him by his country, and with such devotion to the highest interest represented by his country's flag as shall make it easy for him to lay down his life in their behalf what work can be more worthy than this of the noblest heart and the loftiest spir it t From this point of view, I firmly be lieve that wars which bear the double stamp of right and of necessity exalt the temper of a nation, snatch a community from the enervating enjoyments of a long peace and reconstruct its manhood by tempering anew In the ordeal of peril and of endurance its character and its soul These are the words, and this Is the spirit of no ordinary captain, aud there can be little doubt that, under such commander, the defence of Paris and of v ranee, whether it be successful Or unsuc cessful, wifl at least be worthy of a great people and ot a civilised age.

Bond, of the Uui ted States District Court, in rt t'erenco to the act of Congress of May 31st, 1870, fir the enforcement of the fifteenth Amend ment of the Constitution of the United States. The Judge holds that it was not the intention of Congress to abolish the laws of the several States which prescribe the qualification of voters, or even .to alter tbem, except so far as sucb qualifications are founded upon race, color or previous condition of servitude, i He quotes tbe first section of the statute, which declares that it relates to "all citizens of the Uni ted States who are or shall be otherwise qualified to vote j and says that the mean ing of this language is, that these citizens shall be qualified to vote by the laws of tbe Stale, or l erritory, and that these persons thus "otherwise qualified," shall vote -without distinction on Recount of race,, color or previous condition of servi tudc. 1 1 enee, it was decided that a regis tering officer, who in accordance with the Election law of West Virginia had refused to enter the name of a white citizen who bad participated in the ''Rebellion," wrs not liable under the act of Congress. The Judge also decided that tbe act of Con gress only operated on the officers of any election at which any Representative or delesrate in Congress shall be voted for, and tbe registering officer was not such au officer. The passion for spreading woman's kingdom to the political arena, court greens, tha ballot box, ace, is using root in certain portions of our country-but to the credit cf the ladies of tbe Soath, we find here but few, if any, aspirants for such employment ot honors.

Lothaire died in 855, and again subdivided his empire amongst bis three sous. To tbe oldest, Ludwig, he gave Italy and the crown and the title of em peror; to the second, Lothaire, tbe south ern part of his dominion, comprising a part of modern Holland, Belgium, and tbe province called up this day Lorraine or Lotharingen, tbe Alsace, and all the land extending down to the Saone. To the youngest, Carl, he gave all the land south of the iSaoue to the title of Kingdom of rovince. f In 8o'J Lothaire died without heirs after be had previously become possessed also of his brother Carl's Kingdom of Province, and it was then that Carl the Btld King, of France, stepped forward to take sole possession ol bis nephew s kingdom, com prising all the eastern part of modern ce, and extending from the Meuse to tbe Rhine, and ftom the Rhine to the A 1 .,,,,1 front il.u 'tlt Ma way down to the Mediterranean. ' He was oomnlete- y successful, for his nephew Ludwig. the King ot Germauy, bad both their hands too full to claim their share of the rich in heritance. - But a year later, in 870. just one thous and years ago, suddenly a large and well appointed German nrmy crossed the Rhine broke into Franee, and defeated Carl the ISald and bis armies at once, and so com pletely that he was compelled to sign a treaty of peace iu the same year (870,) by which he ceded to his brother Lndwig, the German, all the eastern part of the e lands which he had appropriated from is nephew, and comprising the modern-pmy-iuces of Alsace, Eastern Lorraino,and the territories around tne cities ot j rier, or Treve, Cologne, Msstricht, and Utrecht down to the mouth of the River Rhine. Ihe firet grand fight for the Rhine provinces on tbe part of France, and tbe Alsace and Lorraine on that of Germany, which is, after all, if not the sole cause, certainly one of the principal causes of the present war of 1870, took place con sequeutly just one thousand years ago, in 870, Rud witb tne same result. sroundnZattEisfim! n large family appeared in society isnsn sfrmWMlri de Uazman, Uonntess of Montfjo, a lovely person and an aristocratic name securing her fa illiant conquests in that society, nnd constituting her one of tha most rasnous ladies in Paris.

Ox ygen is au agent of combustion, but when mingled with carbon its whole 'character is changed, and flames cannot burn in an atmosphere containing this gas to tbe ex tent of one-fifth of its entire volume. In England, in the year 1851, a coal mine that bad been burning for 30 years, over an extent of 30 acres, in spite of the ef forts of chemists and engineers to bonauer the flames, was saved from total destruc tion by I he injunction of 8,000,000 cubic feet ot carbonic acid, gas. It is, moreov er, claimed by tbe Brooklyn company tuat tins gas cannot injure the moat deli cate fabric or discolor plate, and is so cheap that a few dollars only would suffice to. pay for euough to rescue a house of medium sise from destruction. They pro pose to build in some central position a reservoir similar to a gasometer, and from this reservoir to lay four-inch pipes in ev ery direction through the streets. In front of every house s valve is to BeT placed, 'to which a small India-rubber hose. can easi ly he attached to direct the stream of gas in any direction "To build a reservoir of adequate sine, to furnish it with all the necessary retorts, and to lay down two hundred miles of pif.es through the city, will, it is said, cost less than 9250,000, and the project ors of tbe enterprise assert that one year will repay 'the expenditure." A few months ago wc called the atten tion of our readers to an article in Apple ton's Journal recommending the artists of tbe country to visit tbe unexplored moun tain regions ot Virginia and North Caroli na and to transfer their beauties to canvasa for the heneft of pleasure seekers and lov ers of the grand and picturesque. The ar ticle has elicited -several letters tn the Journal on that subject, two of which, possessing unusual interest, appear fu the number of August 27. One of these, da ted Cambridge, Massachusetts, speaking of the scenery of Western North Carolina, ssys : "I have been there for years, and assure any one from real knowledge that neither the Catskill, Green, nor White Mountain can hegm to compare with those of Western North Carol the Blue Ridge, Cumberland and Alle nies unite they form a perfect Switzerland in America ; many European geo jfmen have declared in favor of this, arajoa will find English, Scotch and French fam ilies a noug these immortal hills." The second letter is from Giles county, in this State, and gives a graphic descrip tion of the view from Bald Knob, flrom which can be seen a general landscape' ri valling that from Mount Washington.'' Commenting upon these, the Journal says: "Wo shall soon see hotels and mountain houses springing up on eRgfble points amid these grand hills aad the travel that now sets so persistiently to wards the Catskilis and Adirondacks. io fiart at least, diverted to mis region. It urther announces that it has sent a spt - cial artist on a tour through the South whose illustrations will soonHBpl PHL"- Jmrnmrntm - We feel convinced that the representa tions of tbe Journal' correspondents are not overdrawn, and hope the day is not far distant when the scenes tbey describe shall be better known aud appreciated. Iu these days of travel and sight seeing the mountain regions of Virginia and North Carolina, abounding in grand nnd beautiful scenery, must become more at tractive in future to tourists and visitors of cultivated tastes 1n proportion as the facilities for reaching tbem are improved. iUchmond WWg From tne returns made to the United States Marshal it would seem that Ten nVssee is" the healthiest country, on tbe .globe, aud most remtrkabjo for longevity. Death or Episcopal. Cleugi Tbe Baltimore papers announce tbe death ot Hey. Milo Ma ban, V. V., rector Of 1 1.

The six New England States, witb a voting population, it is thought, less than that of Ohio, have a representation in Congress of twelve Senators and twenty seven Congressmen, while the latter State has only two Senators and nineteen Representatives.
