' ; (to be continued.) TAUBOItOfJOHt TUESDAY, DECEMBER 8,1846. The Address of B. F. Moore, Esq. at iZ Chapel Hill. We have been favored by our young friend Wm. H. Johnston, student at Cha pel Hill, with a pamphlet copy of Mr. Moore's Address delivered before the two Literary Societies of the University in June la?t, and have given it a careful peru sal. . While ready to acknowledge the merits of the production, we are pained to notice a glaring, objection. An allusion to party politics in a literary address strikes us as in bad taste, and we must express our unqualified disapprobation at its appear ance.. Shorn of its pointed allusion to the great idol of the whig party, and the homi ly, on the conduct of the present adminis tration, in its foreign relations, the speech is no mean one. The style is neat, the lang;uage chaste, and many elegant and eloquent sentences could be pointed out Mr. Moore is well known to the State, anil' there was no necessity for proclaiming his party predilections from the house tops The selection of place we think decidedly frad for giving vent to his party feelings Dumplin Town would have been more appropriate. This is the first allusion tcj party politics we have ever seen in an Ad4 dress emanating from the Hill, and we ferl yently hope the last, i North Carolina Volunteers. ' .: We are glad to see in the late requisi tion for Volunteers, that the North Carol ij na Reg'fment is called into service. Most of the companies are from the mountains where the rifle is their constant weapon, and we hope the U. S. will equip thjs .whole or a greater part of our Regiment as .Riflemen.

In the House of Commons, on the 86th MU Mr. Dancy, of Edgecombe; presented b memorial of certain citizens of Edge combe county, relating to obstructions in frown creek;, which was referred to the the committee on propositioas and grie vances. ' On the 28th, Mr. Dancy, from the com mittee on education, reported with sun dry amendments, the bill to . reduce the ax on biliard tables; which, after some piscussipn, was referred to the committee pn the judiciary. On the same day, Mr, Rayner, from, Hertford, introduced a bill for re-modeling he Congressional districts in this State. Oh the 1st irist. Mr. Moye, of Edge combe, offered the following resolution; which was adopted: Resolved, That the committee on mili- bry affairs be instructed so to amend the mijitia laws, as to expedite the filling of vacancies among held omcers, and thai they report by biU or otherwise. A vast number of bills, for private and local purposes, have already been introSu ced into the Legislature; giving the prom ise of a long and tedious session. Counterfeits. The Raleigh Star says: A twenty dollar counterfeit bill on the Bank of Cape Fear was presented at the Bank in this city, , the other day, dated 1846, and well executed; but it differs from the genuine bill, in the indistinctness of the eyes of the heads on, the margin, and in representing a train of rail road cars, which is not seen in any of the gen uine bills of that denomination. UJA son of Mr. Mills, at Wilmington, N, C, about six years of age, was killed OnJ Wednesday evening last, at the depot in that town, by one of the cars running over him. He ws playing on the car at the time of the accident. Wilmington Market, Dec. 3. Naval Stores- Our last review left the market heavy, and with a downward ten dency.
