For publishing in the City of Raleigh, N. C,
,i a weekly Newspaper, to be entitled
Th e In depe ndeni.
TBOS, LOTtmo. F.D1TOB AND FROfKIETtH. . ,
I PROPOSE to publish s paper under the above title,
believing the public Blind require a Nipaper,
which will b tfresaed to the moderate Dben of all par
ties, and devofSJ to Literature, News, Agriculture, Mis
cellany, General Politics, dce independent of party bias.
I am encouraged to this undertaking by many of my late
political associates, a well as by many who have been dp
posed to me. A large portion of the conmunity have be
come tired ef the matter and the mannel of party strife,
and require a Newspaper on which thry can. My for im
partial and unprejudiced statement of fcts, and for mat
ter of general interest, with the expectation that mode
ration and calmness of temper shall be toe distinguishing
features that mark the composition of the Editor and die
Communications of his Correspondents) ,
The course ef a paper of the description proposed, i
so plain, that but little need be (aid in aProspsctus. The
public will have an opportunity of testing its claims to
patronage, by a very cheap process. I, feel confident of
giving satisfaction 10 all of its subscribers.
I shall publish public documents connected with die
history of the State and of the Union, ss far as th limit
of the Independent will permit espetUlly the Message
of the President of the United States the Messages of
the Governors of North Carolina, with abstract from oth
er public docu racnts, and Legislative aad Congresiional
Proceedings. In giving a record of tie movement of
political parties, I shall endeavor to state the facts, with
out partiality or comment. Of public aen, of all parties
it is my design to speak with respect; aid when justice
and the public good requires- that Demagogue attached
to either, should be reproved, it shall be 4one with candor
and good temper, " .
The Independent will be printed art a sheet a little
smaller than the original' site Of the North Carolina
Standard, once a week, at the low price of $i per annum
Davable in advance. ' '
- If any person who nays S3 in advance become dis
satisfied at the end of 6 months, one dollar (hall be re
turned to him, provided it can be don without taxing the
Editor with postage. Or, any one is at liberty to sub-,
scribe for six months only and pay ona dollar.
Three copies will be sent to one address for 5 per an
num. The low price of this paper will, I trust, reconcile all
Our friends to the cash system. This system always
brings a better paper at a Iswer price tfcan the Sther plant
for the Editor's mind is less embarrassed, and the profit
are not contingent. j-
A specimen number will be issued in a week or two,
and it is hoped the regular issue will dommence about the
middle of July. , l . '-;
1 he type are entirely new and the paper of good qual
ity.' '. ' ' '".' ' ; rt '
Persons holding subscription papers; are requested to
forward the names to me at ttoleigb, in season to provide
the subscriber with the first number. Those who have
no subscription paper can forward the Barnes of these
woo wish to subscribe, wbicb answers the lame purpose
as if they had subscribed to the Proipectus.
flrt" Two or three column of the Independent will be
devoted, weekly, teen historical abridgement of the live
et the most distinguished public ciaracters woo have
flourished in the United State, cornmencing with Gen.
WASHivetotr. Those who desire to posses th series
enure, would do well to tend in tbefr name early, so as
to receive the first number, which will commenced these
important and interesting narration, which claim the at

Colony of 700 Lunatict.M the. late sitting
or the trench Academy 01 sciences a paper on
insanity was read by its author, Mi Moreau, to
the physicians present. Th chief object of ibis
pamphlet it to recommend the adoption in France,
as regards pauper lunatics, of the plan resorted
to in Belgium. . - . t v., , ,.h
M. Moreau states that in the village of Ghee,
in that country, there are not less than 700 luna
tics, who are treated upon so admirable a system
(hat they are perfectly harmless, and lire and la
bor with the sane inhabitants, whose habits they
acquire, and to which they become so milch at
tached, that when cured they aire frequently un
willing lo quit tne place. These lunatics are
made useful in agriculture and manufactures, and
consequently their cost is small as compared with
ordinary'.iunZtic asylums. The origin of this
colony dales as far back, as the sixth century, and
is another verificalion of the old adage that there
is nothing hew under the suli. 4Tha mode of
treating the lunatics at Hanwell, . near London,
was considered, when first put in practice, as a
uovelty, and yet it is nothicg but the Gheel
practice imperfectly carried out It js 'only sur
prising that this improved node of treatment
should hare been deferred so Jong In "England ;
and it is 'now evident that it ii capable of great
extension in its application, ! Within (he . last
few' years only, in that couhry, medical men
have ascertained the possibility of so classing and
occupying lunatics as to rendelj even the most vi
olent of them comparatively franquil, and thus
facilitating the curative, process. Fof chains,
whips and other means of coercion, kindness and
intelligence on the part of the keepers have been
substituted, hot only at Hanwal, out also at the
Bethlehem Asylum. . .
Dress. There is not an hour in the day in
which a man so much likes to lee bis wife dress
ed with neatness, as when sh leaves her bed
room and sits down to breakfast.. At any other
moment vanity stimulates her efforts at the toil
ette, for she expects to be seen but at this retir
ed and early hour, it is for the very sake of clean
liness, for the very sake of pleasing het husband."
" A woman should never appear untidily or bad
ly dressed in the presence of her husband.'
While he was her lover,' what a sad piece of bu
siness if he caught her dressed to disadvantage I
"Oh, dear, there he is, and my hair all in papersj
and this (rightful, unbecoming cap I I had no
idea he would have been here so early let me
off to my toilette!" But how he is your husband
"Dsar me, what consequence is it! My ob
ject is gained. My efforts to wii him, my little
manouvres to captivate have been successful; and
it is very hard if a woman is to pass her life in
endeavoring to please her husbandr I remem
ber greatly admiring a lady who lived among the
mountains, and scarcely taw any one but her
husband. She was rather a plain womanyet
when she sat to breakfast each morning,' and
nil ha Haw lnntr hpr MTirania neatness, and tttten-
ka.
quite an agreeable object. .Her. husband loved
her, and would look at her with rrjOre pleasure
than at a pretty woman dressed in a slovenly, on
tidy manner; for believe me, those things,
(though your husband appears not to notice them,
nor. Derhaos. is he conscious of the cause) strong-
Ip possess the power of pleasing or displeasing. .

The Locusts. - - t
' About thhi time last year we compiled a very
learned disquisition upon Locusts, having heard
their noise, like "the voice of many waters,"
thro' the woods south and east; but We did not
Observe the cifcumilance thai there were none of
these extraordinary insects north of Greensboro'.
Such was the fact; and now, while there are
none tquth and east, myriads have appeared north
and west. . So far as w have information, they
have sniformly "come up" immediately on the
northwest side of the line which boonded them
last year1. An intelligent acquaintance says that
he has observed their habits, and thatthey have
heretofore periodically appeared on the southeast
side of a line running through this county! pa
rallel with the sea coast and the following year
on the northwest of the , same line. So far as
the present appearance of the Locust is con
cerned, we can confirm his observation- This
boundary appears to pass, in the direction named
by our friend, through the southern part of
Town. Of a hot forenoon', when the Insect host
is in full cry as far down as the Institute, pass
on a hundred yards along the Ashboro road,
and the woods are silent as the morning of crea
tion. ..';... : . . . ,
If our friend's theory be correct, ss to any
considerable extent of country, this line of de
markation mrist pass near Yorkville, S. C, and
Oxford, in GTanville County ' t . . , '.,;
In Virginia the Locusts have appeared in great
numbers, r A writer in the Richmond Whig says
he remembers them in the years 1809 and 1820;
his father remembered them in 1779 and 1792;
and his grandfather in 1756 periods of $even
teen yeart. ", 'j ,-.w.- -,-. -
If these three representatives of three genera
tions remembered them in the lame place at
these periods, it goes lo establish the fact of their
appearance every seventeen yesrs, T ;

Our market during the past winter, has been boun-!
lifully supplied with the finest fih, comprising
most of the varieties which inhabit our waters,
caught in a somewhat novel manner, by spearing
through holes cut in the ice for that purpose. Until
quite recently catching fish through Iho lee has
been considered impracticable ana it has general:
ly been supposed that during cold weather the sca
ly tribej retired to the deep water of the lake
beyond the reach of molestation. The experi
ence of the past winter, however, has proved the
contrary. '.y
. The fisherman! being previously prepared with
a small house, from 4 to 0 or 8 feet square,
mounted on runners, to make its removal easy,
and so constructed as to exclude all light except
what comes ud from fhe rCT"Wf(iwrarms "himself
with an, ordinary fish spear, an axe, and an as
sortment or small decoy fish," and proceeds to
some art of the bav where the water is from
three to si feet jleep,' cats aliole in thjs, ice, ad
justs: his home directly over It, and with his
spear in one hand and the line attached-to the
decoy fish in the other, awaits the coming of his
WeVrf EvlTbiectin the water is seen t with
emir dtstldptness, though frem the excldsron of
light In liie neuse above, the fisherman is Invisi
ble to the fish beneath.; .The decoy ' is simply a
small wooden fish, loaded sufficiently with, lead
to cauie'it trf float naturally, and. which by draw
ing uport the line attached, is made tpjmitale the
motions of a fish playing in tha water. '
Sometimes the fish comes np slowly, as if sus
picious that the decoy was not exactly what it
appeared, and passes near by, as if to make a
more accurate observation. It is then he is struck
with unerring aim. AAt other times a n streak is
seen to flash across the opening, a quick jerk is
felt upon the line, and away goes the decoy, be
yond recovery. If, however, the line is not bro
ken, the fish usually returns more slowly, Ss if
to ascertain the caose of his disappointment i he
is then easily captured. The first experiments
in this kind of fishing were made with nothing
more than an .old hogshead over the ice, or an
old box but this proved so successful,' that re
gular houses Were built. In one instance contain
ing a small stove, and a cushioned seat, - owned
by an old sportsman, who prides himself much
in having his1 "traps about right." Since the
ice has cleared from this end of the lake, we
have also had the finest Mackinaw trout, Weigh
ing from 25 to 39 and 40 pouuds, caught with
hook and line, in the deep water of the lake, off
the peninsula light house. Tiiese are most deli
cious fish, and were caught, for the first time in
this vicinity, by R. Williston, last season. We
have also seen some very fine specimens of the
muscalonge, weighing irom 20 15 lbs caught
in eur bay this Spring, by spearing..

This is bad taste, and what js worse in poli
tics, it is a bad sign. Middle names sink thecan
slidite. George Washington had nomiddUaame,
to injure him, and his greatness seems to hsVS

John Adams was troubled with no middle name,
and Thomas Jefferson had only two names with
which to ascend the Presidential chair, while

two named candidate, Andrew Jackson, hod more
of the pbpulsr votes than be. His virtue, his un-

to two names Andrew Jackson. ' ' t,
Andrew Jackson held his name two11 terms by

tween Martin Van Buren and William II. Hani
son, and the two names beat again. But mark
the fact. ' There was sn attempt at s doublet in
Mr. Van Buren'e name, and ft was fatal. He
lost his election, and what was worse, he lost it
to a three-named man William Henry Harrison.
But the three names was still destined to be fa
tal to the party and the good President, whom
all respected, was .called away after one single
month s administration, and t two-named man,
John Tyler, the child of luck, was to be Presi
