JL the title mentioned above, has been transferred from
the hands of its present editor, to those of the individ
ual whose name appears at the foot of this proKpectus,
snd will be issued under his auspices Irom and alter Ihe
?lh of Novenil er next Its name and politics will under
go no change. As it has been, it will continue to he, an
advocate and expounder of the doctrines of Ihe Whig
Parly, and a firm and faithful defendei of the Rights and
Honor of the Soulh. As a Y hig Press, it will be deci
ded, yet liberal, extending to those who entertain a differ
ent oliiical faith, that courtesy, which it will expect in
retarn ; and as a Southern prpss, while it will stand al
ways ready, like the sentinel upon the watch tower, to
give the alarm, and arouse to action in times of difficulty
and of danger, will still cherish an aJlectionale attach
ment to the Union, and will desert it only, when it can
be no longer picserved, with safety or honor.
It will advocate the doctrine of.non-iiiterventlin by
Congress, with reference to Slavery in Ihe Territories,
both because its opjiosite is unconstitutional, and tiecause
it is the only principle which will, in future, save the
South, and prevent those evils, which have distu'bed and
are now disturbing, the peace of our country.
legurding the nation as a whole, with a community of
feelihg and interest, it would favor a tariff for revenue,
willi incidental protection to American industry. But
while theKorth isarrayed against lire South,- and the un
happy disseiisums which now divide us remain unhealed,
it will oppose protsction, in sny form, w ith all the power
which it mav oo8:
It has bee.i tliouaht necessary to specify this much.
with reference to the ujrVat topics which have lately enga
ged so much of public attention. In regard to other mat
ters, suffice it losjy that it Will, as staled ulsivc.be found

It will lie the ell'ort ol the editor. In reiidet his sheet as
interesting and attractive as any within the limits of the
Slate ; an object w, ich he hopes he wull be ah!c to com

which no other place in Eastern Carolina can furnish.
and since, lor the fairer portion ol his readers, he will not

A Movrtyay of c iINtlns; nrcrallsi
Thrre i no riaH of people for whom the
countrymen of ihe Southern Slates hare so prenl
a dislike as those wearing fine clothes, and there
jjn?."0rt,r-ay of bte,min! unpopular iih
them than by going among them fasliionaldy
dressed. This aversion extended ss far bark i
the Urrolutinnarj '.War, as the following incident
will show:
During the Revolution, a Capt. E , mem
ber of one of llit? first families of Charleston, hav
ing lost in a skirmish most of his men, 'went to
the interior of South Carolina fur the purpose of
nliating recruit?. Having appointed n rendez
vous, he spent a day or two in looking around
tho country. At the time anil place appointed,
be found a large number assembled, not one of
whom would enlist. After several hours, spent
to no purpose he appointed a rendezvous for the
next day, and left the grptind. Next day camo
and with it the same crowd hut lie met with no
mote success than before. What roultl be the
matter? It was tlie first time during the war that
a recruiting officer had been entirely unsuecesa
ful. Something must he w rong, and lie deter
mined to know w hat it was. - Calling fiiie of the
rustics aside, he asked:
"Why, Is tt'ttiat I get no recruits?"
"You don't think," answered the countryman.
"that we are goin' to 'list under such a man as
ymt aj?- You are dressed ..too fine to bo much
of a lighter."
In those days knee breeches and silk stockiucs
were fashionable, and the Captain was dressed in
that style; there lay his unpopularity. He turn
ed to lite countryman; anil said:
"So you object to my dress do you? Very
well. Come here to morrow, and JahaJT Jiavc
recruits."
Next day the same crowd had assembled, an
xious to know what new idea the dandy captain
had got into his head. After the crowd had as
sembled, Capt. E. stepped out and said in a clear
and distinct voice:
".My friends, I understand that you object to
me because I am dressed a littles finer than your
selves. You think I am unable to fight on that
account. Now I wish to make a proposition to
you. I will whip as many of veil as will come
out, one at a time, with the understanding that:
every man is to enlist after he is whipped. Pick
vour men and send them out."
After a short consultation, a huge, broad shoul
dered fellow came out. The Captain drew o(T
his coat very coolly. Ho was large and well
made, and a superior boxer.
The countryman rushed up, intending to brush
r ut the Captain in a few minutes. He mistook
his man, however, ami soon measured his length
on the grass,
A greater bully than the first stepped out to
take his place, and soon took his place on the
ground. The countrymen stared. They bad
no idea that such a man could tight, lie nail,
however, enlisted two men, and must not be al-
owed to go farther. The bully of the crowd
now stepped out lo take the gentleman in hand.
Ho was a stout fellow weighing aootit 200 lls.
and bragged i hat he never had been whipped.
He knew nothing, however, about boxing, and
he very soon followed his companions. Never
was a crowd so utterly confounded! Three of
their best mm whipped by a man from the city!
I'hey could hardly realize it, and stood perfectly
motionless. , -ISh
"Well, mv friends, are you satisfied? I i&f
enlisted three ol your best men; I suppose you
have no obiectinn now to lollow llieir example:
"Not a hit of it," responded one of the crowd,
.... , , , . i e ii
"you II do to tieto.oir. leiiow. i,omeniys,iaii m.
They did so, anil in a short lime tlie captain
bad bis company filled, and oilers of more than
he could find room for. Yankee Made.

Takimi the Census. Alvin Richardson,
one of the assistant marshals employeil in the
western fart of New York in taking the census,
communicates to the Oswego Times the follow
ing amusing illustration of the facility wilh which
a man may be misled by answers that are direct
and true, but "nothing else :" t
I must now tell you of a joke I bad put on me
in the good town of Palermo. I called in at a
house early one morning, and saw a young girl
whom I took lo be ten or twelve years old. I
told her my business, which she took very emd
lv. I asked her, "is your father a farmer .'"
She answered, "he is. "Is he at home?" "He
is." "Is he in the house !" "I suppose he is.
Will he lmvc me the information?" "I sup-
nose he will." I wailed awhile, and then askeiM
"Have you a mother!" "I have." "Is she at
home?" "She is.'1 "Will she be in soon?"
"Can't say." "Is she gone from home ?" "She
is not." Well, 1 saw there was but one room
to the bouse, and had got lircd of waiting. I
spoke to the girl, sa nig, "Where is your fath
er?" The same answer, "he is at home.
Well, where is he .'" Same answer, "ho is at
home." "Well, where is your mothce?" "Why,
at home." "Where in ihe name of common
sense is their home 1" "Why, just over on the
other street." Feeling rather chagrined, I asked,
W ho is the head of this family Me answereu
promptly, "Mv husband, sir." "Are ou mar-
ried : "Yes. "nave you "u"
yiow old are the children '. " l wo
"How old is the other?" "Two
"How is that?" "Very easy, sir;
i" This solved the whole mvs-
fine looking boys ; she is ihe
youngest-looking mother I ever saw. ll shows
how easy a matter it is to be mistaken.
Old IT omen of the '?0 Home.
What relates to Washington, and the war he
led in, can never be tiresome. Here is an inci
dent of a visit latclv ro:vde bv Lewis Caylor;!
Clark to the "Old 78 Housm iTie tillage 'of-
Tappan, and related in tlie editorial tossin of ths -
July Knick.
Arrived at the "Seventy-Six House, we X
amincd iho room where Major Andr was fon-
fined, and from which he went forth indie. Om?
friend, and the jotter down hereof, were mads
happy by present, from the obliging proprieto
of the house, of two of the pietoretl rile whicU .
compose a frameworlt around tne an place.
rocketing these interesting memf tyos of the
past, we next repaired lo an old, crumbling, low
roofed mansion, once the head-quarter,., of, Geo.
Washington. We drew rein at the gate, tnil
parsed into a littlo patch ol meadow that lay be- j
t ween us and the house. It was about half mown; .
the swe ct scented glass lay in swaths around; and
.L - l!l:.1.l .',..' J

lay his scythe and whetsinne. Little faith had '
our companion that Old KnicX" eonlt! Jeftfy 4
wield that instrument of "Old Tempos; but sk
him now. Ask him if we didn't make the little
meadow resound with the cling cling of the whet-'
s:one, and then, seizing the sharpened instrument
with long, sweeping strokes, lay close cot and
clean a swath around that field as he ever saw in 1
his life. There are several things that we can't -
do but we can mow! Well, rejoicing in the t
glow which that best of all exercise had given,
us, wc next repaired to the old house,, It wa
more than a hundred years old, and the cry per -souificatioti
of decay. We enlersd, ajd were:
cordially wplromrd by its occupanis, two elderly t
Uidie,-Jio were born in (he house. Nothing 1
could bo in more perfect keeping with the man-1
sion than those two women. One wae nearly '
eighty, and the other turned of tetenty, bot both
were most agreably lively for persons so old, and
were obligingly communicative. .Many and
many a time," said the elder of the two, "in thi
very room, has Gen. Washington held me in hir
lap. 1 remember it just as well as if it was bat
yesterday. He was a most lovely man, (Jen. ,

him when he was dug up; and so did yon, too,
Polly, didn't you?" The old lady mentioned a
circumstance connected with the revolution, ami f
with this spot, that struck na as jntereltinjf and,,
somewhat instructive. The enemy, it would,
seem were in the habit of coming sometimes intov
the rich valley of Tappan, and driving off ealrte,; "

forty years a'ter that." And thu these good
old people beguiled an hour with reminiscence
of the revolution, to some others of which'' w
may have occasion to reler to hereafter' Otrr
