Though this State liaA not yet a member of the Union under the now form of govern ment, we look forward with the pleasing hope pf its soon becoming such and in the mean timo consider ourselves bound in a common interest und affection with the other States, waiting only for the hap py event of such alterations being pro ' posed, as will remove tho apprehensions of many of the good citizens of this State, for those liberties for which they have fought and suffered in common with oth ers. This happy evnt, wo doubt not, will be accelerated by your Excellency's ap pointment to the, first ollicein the Union,, since we are well tisau rod the same great ness of mind, which in all sences has so eminently characterized your Excellency, will induce you to advise every measure calculated to compose party division, and to abate any animosity that may be' excited by a mere difference ill opinion. jYour Excellency will, consider tjiuwi ver others may forget) how extremely dilli cult it is to unite all the people of a great country in one comjuon sentiment upon almost any political subjects, much less tipon a now form of government materi ally different from one thoy, have been accustomed to, and will therefore rather r be disposed to rcjoico that so much bus boon effected, than regret that more could not, all at once bo ' 'accomplished. We -AlLfN K:i V-'v. r i j! AM Al, ji ii! AA;I ' . VOL.

We hope your Excellency will pardon the liberty we take in writing so particu larly on this subject ;" but tin's State, how ever it may difler iu any political opin ions with the other Stutes, cordially joins with tliem in sentiment of the utmost gratitnde for those distinguished talents, and that illustrious virtue, which we feel a pride in saying we believe, under God, have been the principal ineana of pre serving the liberty, and procuring the in dependence of your country. We can not help considering you, sir, in some measure, as thu father of it, and hope to experience the good effects of that confi dence you so justly have acquired, in an abatement of the party which so much etangers a union on which the safety and happiness of America can alone- he founded. May that union, ut a short dis tance of timO, be as perfect and more safe then ever ! LVnd in the mean while, may the State of North Carolina he consider ed, as ft truly deserves to he, attached with eiiual warmth with any State iu the Union, to the true interest, prosperity, and glory of America, differing only in some particulars in opinion us to the u. cans of promoting them.

It is like the sound of flutes on the water. It leaps from lief heart in a clear spark linsr CtlL and the heart that hears it feels as if bathed in the cool, exhijiaratmg spring. And so of the smile. A beau tiful smile is to the female countenance what the sunbeam ia to the "landscape. -It embellishes ian inferior face, and re deems an ngly one. A smile, however, should not become habitual, or insipidity is the result ; nor should the month break into a smile on one side, the other re- muining passive ana untnovea, tor inw imparts an air of .deceit and grotesqne ncss to the face. A disagreeable smile distorts the lines of beauty, and is more repulsive than a frown. There are many kinds of smiles, each having a distinctive character ; some announce goodness and 'sweetness, others betray sarcasm, bitter ness, and pride ; some soften the coun tenance by their languishing tenderness, others brighten it by their brilliant and spiritual vivacity. Gazing and poring before a mirror cannot aid in acquiring beautiful smiles half so well as to turn the gaze inward, to watch that the heart kceis unsullied from the reflection of evil, and is ailumiued and beautified by all sweet thoughts.-'f ' .Sirif (ft .-. l until. . Can-ailT- of the FI. ? genueman iu uie mgmamis senus us the following note : A gamekeeper frltA Astnln I l.dirn ...It. litul on the estate near Lochawe, who had been annoyed by. the depredations of foxes, discovered a kennel in a glen at c . ii l i. ivi,:i ii. iruc O,uo V, 1 , " ""c ing one evening tor the appearance ot the tenants ho observed a braco of wild ducks floating on the loch. In a little while a fox was seen approaching the waterside with cautions steps ; on reach ing it he picked up a bunch of heather and placed it in his mouth, so as to corer his head; then slipping into the water, and immersing all but his nose,. be floated slowly and quietly down to where the h:rds were quacking out delight in lan ded security, seeing nothing near them but a bunch of weed. In due time he neared the ducks, dropped the heather aud seized a duck, With which he return ed to the loch-side, and was making off to his young with the prize, when the keeper who had noted all his movements, closed them by the dischorge of his dou ble barrel. . Surely such sagacity deserv ed a better fate. Dumfrtcs (Scotland) Courier. Substantial Reasons for Declining; Office. Major Ben. McCulloch, who has been here for several days, says a Washington correspondent of the New York Times, was again strenuously urged by the Presi dent to undertake the Govenorship. The Major, among other reasons for declining, suggested that he would inevitably suffer in public estimation if he sltgjuld under take to tnlhll the duties of that position, for the reason that the peoplerywould .ex pect him to string np Prigham Young at once, and thrash bis adherents soundly gentle pastimes of indulgence in which he was well satisfied the Mormons would give him no pretext when they found him backed by troops. If a peaceful policy was to be pursued as he belie ved it must be necessary the Major thought it bet ter that somo man of whom the public have a less ferocious idea, and consequent ly less ferocious expectations, should be the instrument of its initiation aivd devel opment at Salt, Lake. The President was unwilling to let him offon this plea, and then the Major fired his reserve, inform ing ' the batchelor Executive - that he couldn't go because he was intending to get married soon a duty, the discharge of which be had neglected for forty years or more, until his day of grace had near ly expired. This argument brought Mr. Buchanan down. He at once acknowl edged its invincibility, aud bowed his ac quiescence. Small Horses. The arguments may be ail in favor of great size, but the facts are all the other j way. Large horses are more liable to' stumble, and be lame, than horses of mid- j die size. They are clumsy, and cannot till themselves' so ouick. The largest of! anv class is an unnatural growth.

Jr'-harpc and John Johnson were hungat EJwardsvillo, Rlinois, for the ' murder of Jacob Bartlu There were between seven and eight thousand persons present to -witness tha -melancholy spectacle. Permission being given to address the audience, Johnsou availed himself of it, and spoke witli ranch earnestness and deep emotion. Ila closed by remarking that his punishment although terrible was just, and he was prepared to meet it If he had remained at home during Lis early youth, and. obeyed the pious instructions of his moth er, be would not now have been on tha , scaffold a condemned murderer. lie hoped all the yonth, who heard him would take warning by his example, be influenced by the counsels of their good and pious mothers, keep ont of bad com pany and bad habits, and thus avoid the terrible fate that had so soon overtaken him. Johnson was a yonng man. lie leaves a father, mother, fonr sisters and four brothers. Sharpe seemed to desire to speak, but was so overcome with his situation that be was nnable to do so. He was terribly effected, and was a pit iable object to behold. When requested to step forward upon the drop, he obeyed- exclttfUiiug, "O Lord 1 have mercy on me I I daro not die! l in afraid I in not pre pared." Big Pkice fob Tobacco. The Peters burg Intelligencer states that a hogshead of tobacco weighing 1230 lbs net, was sold on Thursday, at Oaks Warehouse at $50 a hundred, footing np the unprece dented sum of 615. "This is the high ent price paid during the season in this market and we have no knowledge that the aggregate has ever before been reach ed in any market. Generally when very high prices have been paid, they have been for small packages or parcels but ibis is for a full size hogshead." TU VTau TIwii Get Hick In tint HW. A friend of ours just returned from I Kansas, where fie has resided two years, tells of the high prices of provisions in 'that region, flour, last month, was sell- . ingat j 14 per barrel, molasses $1,50 a gallon,- pork 20 cents a ponnd and other things at the same rate, ilie crops last year were th0 winter severe, killing . 1 .1 M? i ti many cattle, and the army of emigration so large as to devour all before them. To the question how did yon live! the answer was prompt. "Lave," said he, 'live on cracketj corn; corn for break fast, corn for supper. 1 have just learn ed to live ; aud if I had practiced here for ten years what I was forced to there, even at low wages, I should have been a rich man." Yillaituou Attempt. We learn from, a gentleman who came on the night train from Charlotte ou Sunday night last, that another villaneous attempt at wholesale murder was made. on that night, by tear ing up the cross ties and rails on one of the highest embankments on the Road, near Gibsonville Station." Fortunately the Engine jumped off at the break and stuck iu the mud. without running off, and thus by the merest acci dent the lives of perhaps hundreds of pas sengers were saved. After several hours' labor the Engine was prized np, backed on the road, the iron and cross ties relaid and the train proceeded on its way. Two of the scoundrels were taken in tho act, we are informed, both negroes, who state that they were hired to do the deed by white men. We trnst a terribl example will be made of them. Chapel Jlill Uazttte. Sin Shortens Life. ""' Nvery form of sin tends to precipitate the ruin of the transgressor. It hastens the final catastrophe. Not a violent pas sion can man indulge which does not tear his heart-strings, llow often has a sud den excess of rage broken the golden bowl of life ! What a warning against all evil ways ! Why are men so eager to reach the end of their course ? Why in such haste to put themselves out of the world, when beyond it they can antici pate only tho blackness of darkness! iiave they not suffered enough in this world that they are so impatient to rush into another still more miserable) Will they not be contented till they ore dead ana gone aye, dead and damned f On the other hand, every Christian virtue tends to prolong as well as to sweeten hu man life. Kind emotions, right affections, and activity in doing good, all fortify and confirm the powers of the .body as well as. the mind. Not only is the latdlect clearer, but the sleep is sounder, and the limbs are stronger. Such a mail has' nothing to lire his brain, or accelerate his blood, or to cause his heart-to beat vio lently with rage or fear. Thus it often comes, as the reward of faith and patience and charity, s well as of honor and rev erence to a father and mother, that tho days of the obedieut, the kind, the gentle, and the gd, are made long on the earth.
