There are many parts of the state where it is im possible to procure lime for agricultural purposes, except at such high prices as to almost preclude its use. That the soils in such sections require lime, there can be no question, and there can be as little doubt, that an enlightened Geologist, would be able to find large deposits of calcareous matter therein, as well as else where, and thus place it within the-power of farmers to supply this great desid eratum. I;i making the elections of the geologist, $;reat care should be taken; he should, besides high scientific attain ments, possess a practical knowledge, and combine with these qualifications, energy of character, love for the science, and an industry that never falters. A geological exploration, conducted by such a man, would develop mineral resources of count- less value, rorourseii we have never doubted that North Carolina is rich in Each resources from the sea-board to the mountains, and that whenever they shall le rendered available to enterprise and capital, and they would by a well con ducted survey he will he found not to be excelled in mineral wealth by any state in the Union. It is therefore, not assum ing too much, to say, that a skillful geol ogical survey of the state would add mil lions to the value of her landed property, open innumerable sources of employment to the industrious, and fill thousands of homes with the elements of competency, comfort, and happiness. That such may be the results of the contemplated enter prise is our most fervent prayer.

The course of South Carolina will then be de finitely ascertained, as it is a contest be tween the immediate secessionists and the co-operationists. Both parties have their candidates in the field, and thee is every prospect that the vote will be a correct indication of the wishes of the majority at this interesting crisis in the history of out sister Carolina. South Carolina desired all the Southern Slates to be represented in this Congress, but it is a certaintv now Terrible Conflagration at Buffalo. A destructive fire occurred at Buffalo, N.

The houses were occupied prin cipally by poor people, and the number of families turned out of house and home was very great. ib. QjThe Fancy Ball of the 2nd in the Court house, was a most lively and gay exhibition and afforded great merriment and pleasure to the lovers of that sort of sport. The large Superior Court room was well lighted, refreshments were fur nished and nearly all the oriental,, mod ern, uluret civilized and heathen cos tumes had a representative.

To this, Cornett demurred; whereupon he was stripped, and whipped. After having received a dozen or so, be ing of the true heretic breed, he caved in, promised to read his recantation, sell his land and ?iegroes which latter he actually owned) and depart for more friendly climes. Much excitement nrevr.iled in charged with felony. The jailor refused to allow the ceremony. She afterwards came back by herself, and was admitted to the prisoner's cell, and, refusing to leave him. was allowed to remain all night.
