TRAVELLING TO CONETOE.
Conetoe is my home, boys,
I long there for to be;
The girls are all such pleasant joys,
I want them for to see.
So many long days have pass' J away,
Since I the pleasure had,
To join them in a social play,
want to get there bad.
But huckleberry time is o'er,
I am very sorry for thai;
For I could gather half a score
la my old palm leaf hut.
My journey is a tedious one,
And I'm afraid I shan't hold out;
To get to the Conetoe fun
Before it is too tote.
And now my horse is broken down,
0 Lord, what shall I do?
If he only had held out to town,
1 could walked to see my Sue.

THE SOBER SECOND THOUGHT."
Ekcliona in the West.
Hail to the first bright cheering ray.
That breaks through daikness from the West;
The tempest cloud has passed away,
By truth's eternal light opprest:
Say by what magic is it wrought?
"The people's sober second thought,"
Well may each patriot bosom hail
This herald of a great returning;
Well may corruption's sons grow pale
Their golden hopes are changed to mourning;
For on the Western winds is brought,
The people's sober second thought."
A9 closed the Red Sea's watery path,
Engulphing Pharaoh's godless train:
A re-united people's wrath
Shall swallow ne'er to rise again
The knavish host that held as nought,
The people's sober second thought."
Though at their feet Pactolus rolled
Its golden tide as told in fable
Though "God-like men" are bought and sold,
And earth itself were purchasable
There's one thing that never can be bought,
"The people's sober second thought'
From the Globe.
"FALLEN OFF."
The National Intelligencer is employed
from day to day in accounting for the late
deleats of the Pipelayers. This morning
it says:
"The United States Gazette states that
this result has been effected, not by the in
crease of the Loco Vote vote, but by ihe
decrease of the Whig vote."
And after giving a glowing account of
Governor Cost Johnson s oratorical tri
umphs on the stump over his antagonisi
Mr. Thomas, -which the correspondent
vouched by Ihe Intelligencer avers made a
difference in the result of between three
housand and four thousand in favor of the
Federal parly, the letter adds: "But still
there was no! interest and excitement e
nough to rally the full force of the Whit;
party; and yet still to bolster Mr. Johnson's
reputation, it insists that "Alary lantl has re
ally fallen off less than other States, but the
V higs are still defeated."
These apologrtick scraps show that
while it is boasted that V higery had vast
ly the advantage in candidates, still it has
been every where defeated. The simple
explanation of all this is, that the millions
furnished by the merchants, banks, & lor
eign holders of American stocks, which
were employed in establishing clubs in
eveiy village, with the means of pipe lay
ing bribing officer.-, and procuring false
returns corrupting and deceiving drink
ing, ignorant voters, were not contributed
during the late contests. Hence Federal
ism has "fallen off," and shrunk to its true
dimensions. Its effigy voters like its effigy
money, has come to be properly estimated.
The votes giving a majority to General
Harrison last fall, like the. assets of the
Hank of the United States, and the other
stocks they represented, existed only in
paper.
Like the specie capital of the banks,
which was multiplied ihree or four times
by the paper representative, substantial
voters of the same party were to a consid
erable extent duplicated and triplicated
by the pipe laying process. We have
never believed General Harrison fairly
elected President of the Uniied States.
Pipe laying at the poll, official fraud in
making the return?, and bribery in procur
ing votes and prastising foul play on in
temperate and ignorant voters, we are
thoroughly convinced made General Har
rison nominally the President of the Uni
ted Stales. A change of eight thousand
votes, effected by such operations, in the
States of New York, Pennsylvania, Maine,
d New Jersey, was sufficient to produce
mis resuu.
Money Matte rs. The Philadelphia
:-aiion-i gazette says:
There is an increasing demand for mon
ey, and I he rate in market has advanced
Nine to eleven per cent, per annum, for
goon notes, is readily obtained.
The ability of the hanks of the city to

sequence of the large amount of their cani-

The New York State Administration.
"XIuAqt the Whig Administration" says
the Albany Evening Journal, "ihe State
is fast recovering its energies."
Take the following facts, which we find
in the Mohawk Courier, as a comment:
"A few weeks since Ihe State officers in
vited sealed proposals for a loin of some
$300,000. Offers were made by a house
in New York of gS4 25 cash for each JjSlOO
of slock, and the proposition was accepted.
In 1S33, the Slate obtained a premium
of seventeen and a half dollars on each $100
of similar stock, issued at that lime.
"This shows a depreciation of the State
credit, since 1833, of a fraction more than
thirty-two per cent.
"The difference to the Slate on the
amount to be borrowed this year, between
the rates of 1833 and the present prices or
Slate slock, amounts to one million three
hundred thousand dollars!"
Texas Funds The New York Post
sas: "We ' are gratified at being able to
state for the information of those interested
in Texas funds, that a letter has been re
ceived in this city from Gen. Hamilton,
announcing the agreeable intelligence of
his intention to leave Europe for this coun
try early this month, bringing wiih him
the pioceeds of the Texas loan in gold.
This will be good news to the holders of
1 exas bonds and I reasury notes, and we
anticipate a speedy advance in their pri
ces." (JThe news from Florida, we are
gratified to learn, continues to be cheer
ing. We have been informed by an officer
who came passenger on board the U. S.
steamerl3eaufort, arrived yesterday from
Piiatka, that the Indians were coming in
at Tampa so fast that the commanding offi
cer would be obliged to ship them off soon.
Colonel Worth continues sanguine that he
shall shortly bring about a termination of
difficulties in Florida The observations
of our informant leads him to believe that
the prospect for such a happy result was
never belter than at present.

TThe verdict of the coroner's jury in
the case ol Payne, the lover of Mary Rog
ers, wa9 that he. was "found dead with con
gestion of the brain, supposed to be brought
bout by exposure and irregularity of liv-
ing, incident to abberration of mind.
The New York Sun thus sums up the
whole story of the evidence given before
ihe coroner's jury. It appeared that
Payne after reaching Hoboken on Thurs
day, roved about from that place to VVe
hawken, visited the House of Mrs. Loss,
where Miss Rogers had last been seen, in
dulged in drink lost his hat spoke of his
troubles told of his engagement to Miss
Rogers laid in the woods suffered from
hunger, cold and constant exposures, with
no house to shelter, no bed to repose on,
no hand to relieve him, and finally died
without a friend to close his eyes.

Milton, N. C. October 11.
Remarkable case of Bigamy finished
Villany. As Ihe conductor of a public
press, we have never been called upon to
record a case of a more perfect and contin
ued system of rascality than that which we
feel bouk to lay before our readers this
week. Yet, such is the peculiar and vari
ed nature of the case such is its deep de
pravity that we are at a loss where to be
gin or where to s'op. We purpose how
ever to detail the circumstances as they
have come to our knowledge (confining
ourselves to the facts, as near as possible)
and in so doing we intentionally omit the;
names ol the unfortunate iemales who
have been made the wretched victims of!
a species of villany unparalleled in this
country. Their cup of sorrow and morti
fication must now be full, and we will not
run it over by gazetting their names.
It appears that a certain Edward C. Bo
ling, (son of the Rev. Mr. Holing, minis
ter of ihe M. E Church, and a resident ot
thiscounty,) about 3 years since married a
JVliss P , a lady of respectability as we
learn, and lived with her tor nearly 2 years.
About 12 months ago he left his home for
the purpose of studying ihe Law in Greens
boro', N. C. leaving h:s wife behind.
On his arrival in Greensboro,' he changed
his name and introduced himself to the in
habitants of that town, as Sidney T. Smith,
of Alabama, he exhibited to ihe gentle-
man under whom he piosecuted the study
of law, certficates purporting to be from
distinguished gentlemen in North Alaba-
ma, and which represented htm as ihe son
of a wealthy cotion planter ol thai State.
He obtained credit to a large amount in
the stores of that place; and pretended that
he was in daily expectation of the receipt
of a large amount of funds from his fa
ther, living as above stated. Soon af
ter, he informed his acquaintances that
he expected his parent in a short time to
pass through Greensboro', on a visit to
some menus living in oouinampion, va
Again he pretended to learn that his father
was dead, but that he expected a visit from
his Mother; and with a countenance indi
cating grief for his lost parent, he entered
a Milliner's shop and bespoke for his moth
er a costly dress of mourning, while he
wore crape on his hat! (Hold and reck
less man! thus to tamper with the wrath
and thunderbolts of Heaven!) After this
he succeeded, by stratagem, to become
acquainted with Miss E H , an accom
plished young lady of Guilford county,
and daughter of a gentleman of high re
spectability and of enviable properly. He
was pleased with her; and, with the cold
hearted ferocity of a fiend fresh from hell,
determined to make her the victim of his
foul treachery and deceit. By artful and
false representations, he gained the confi
dence of her father; 'and by warm and ar
dent professions of regard and attachment
induced her to consent to become his bride.
He determined in the black malignity of
his soul to become the spoiler of the peace
of that domeslie circle where, before, all
was tranquil happiness and joy. Like the
gaze of the Basilisk his treacherous eye
was fixed upon that fair victim, that she
might not escape. Now he stood before
the altar and plighted lo Miss H his faith,
and the nuptial tie was proclaimed to the
world by the public, journals when not
twenty miles distant lived a lawful wedded
vvife, who perhaps, at the moment of his
marriage with Miss H , sighed with a
ihrobbmg hearl for her husband's return.
The tale stops not here. Soon after
his second marriage, Smith alias Bolin"-
you g man ollair comn'cxiop and iron-
ieei oress.; told his new ather in law that
he had hem sadly disappointed in not hav
ing received the fumls from Alabama which
he had so long expected, but still pretend
ed that he confidently expected ihem to
arrive in a short time; staled moreover that
he had bargained with a Mr. Ediourd C.
Baling of this county, for a tract of land,
and for which he agreed to p(y Holing the
sum of S3. 700 and thus got his father
in law to endorse the payment of a bond
of three thousand and seven hundred dol
l n s, which sum he borrowed to nay for
land. No v Smith, alias Holing, pre
tended to visit this Edward C. Holing, to
r tify the 1 ml bargain. Alter a short ab
sence he returned back, and lo! Holing
had by hook or crook, defrauded him out
of his money ! He remained with his wife
a few days, and concluded to go and see
Holing again; and such was now the
length of his absence that his last wife he
coming uneasy proceeded in quest of
him, to the house of the Rev. Mr. Holing,-
of i his county, expecting to meet with him
there: but she found him not Mr. Smith
was not known by any one of the family.
When there Mrs. Smiih became ac
quainted with Mrs. Edward C. Boting
ivhose husband was absent also; the two la
dies remained together for several days,
and mutually expressed anxiety for the re-
urn ol their husbands, never once dream
ing that they wtre the wives of one
and the same man Mrs. Smith alias
Holing finally returned home without hear
ing from her husband but Smith arrived
soon after her return; told a smooth tale re
lative to his absence, and still complained
of his treatment from Holing
The want of space compels us to pass
ovrr many events of interest which trans
pired after this last return mentioned, until,
his arrest. His new father-in-law, enraged
against Holing, and unwilling that his son-ii.-law
should brook such injustice, sought
redress by the force and power ol the law.
He accordingly had a W rit issued for the
arrest of Holing, charging him wiih swind
ling Sidney T. Smith. Ou Tuesday last
(our Louniy uourt being in session,) Smith,
in conn xion with a yonng man, a relative
ol Mrs. smith, arrived at Yancey ville,
the county seat of thiscounty, on his wav.
as hesaid, to Soutnampton, to take charge
i : i u : - . . "
of several negroes which he owned there,
and to collect a large sum of money then
due him. Hut on his arrival at the Court
house, he made out to the young man that
his horse was loo lame to travel further
sent the young man on lo Southampton,
stating th .t he would return, get another
horse, ''1 oon be with him. Thus they
par ted. and the young man is now, perhaps,
awaiting Smith's ulias Holing's presence
in Southampton, or enquiring in vain afier
I the pioperty.
We have said that they parted Smith
pretended to go back. Col Lea, Deputy
Sheriff, who had been on the look-out for
Holinn, was informed that he was in the
! village; on further enquiry, he learnt that
Holing had lett town some one had met
him
Col. Lea mounted his horse and
pursued him; he overtook Holing, who
was on his way to ihe residence of his
first wife, and brought him to town. Im
agine the feelings of his new father-in-law
who was in Yancey ville, on that day, setk
ing Holing's arrest, as he stepped into the
Court house to observe the culprit for the
first time, and at a glimpse exclaimed:
"My God! that's the man who married
my daughter'."
Boting having been brought before an
examining Court, was required to give
bail, in the sum of 85000, with two or
more securities, which failing to do, was
committed to jail, and the witness bound lo
appear.'at Guilford Superior Court, where
the defendant, Holing, will have his trial
before the Hon. Judge Nash. Chronicle.
(3A colored man in Philadelphia was
recently brought up for having three wi
ves, when in fact, one was more than he
deserved. Cuffee said he did not ee what
harm dar was in taking as many wi ves as he
liked, since he took only those that nobody
else would take. This was good logic but
bad law; and so he found it.
Insects in the Ear. A physician on
Wednesday last observed a colored man
passing by apparently in great pain, and on
inquiry learned thai a bug had entered his
ear. Sweet oil was immtdially procured,
and a quantity poured into his ear the
sufferer being required to lie down on ihe
pavement. The bug poon made its ap
pearance, being unable lo bealhe. This
simple remedy should be generally known,
as it is Ihe most effectual, as well as by far
the safest, and attended with the least pain
10 the patient. The intensify of the pain
caused by the presence of insects in the
ear, may be inferred from ihe fact that Ihe
individual in this cose became insensible,
and remained to for a quarter of an hour
after the insect was removed.
