TilS CIIERAW GAZETTE. We neglected to refer List week to the quarrel wliich the Chcraw Gazette seeks to fasten upon u. We have allotted in one of nnr articled to the op yroial by Mr. Polk, of the VVihmtt Proviso in tli Oregon bill; thereupon the Chersw Gattte ac cuses u of .dragging np Mr. Polk's corpse from the grave, and with alahderitig hi memory ; tod eays that every Whig in North Carolina should blush for ns. With Mr. To'k, personally, whether in the body, cr ont of the body, we never had anything to do. "Duncan I in hi crave ; "After life's fitful fpver, he sleep well" "Nothing can touch him further." But with Mr. Polk' publkjicts; his Administra tion of the Government; the distinctive measure nf that administration, which have heaped so much or bitter evil on tho country; brought all our pres ent troubles; and, as precedents, have paved the way to so many more, we have much to do: And we shall never consider it any desecration to peak of those acts, in such terms of censurs as we may deem ilit'i deserve his death can never sanctify them; and all the w hite-washing of all the friends and piirtizaus he had while living, can nev er make them fair and clever. The Oregon Act, with the Wihnot proviw in it, atamls upon the Statute conks of the ronniry, above these words: "Approved James K. Polk;" and until those words are erpunged, posterity will judge liim by (hem ; and no friends of his may pretend that the Wilmot proviso was not ajtfirnved hy him, for they will find that very abomination about his signature. If the Editor of the Cheraw Gazette wants to quibble about this matter, if he means that Mr. Polk approred the Wilmot Proviso under protest ; wt answer that his protest did not touch the ques tion of constitutional power. That must be held assdmitted by Mr. Polk, or he may, be liable to a very serious charge one.ltowever, which we have never brought against him. We are aware that the Southern Democratic press contends that, in affixing his signature to the Oregon bill, there was no sanction of the proviso, by President Polk. slaves and lugiiives from justice are placed on the same footing, and that ss well might a Southern Stale claim the right to try before a jury a fugitive from justice roining from a northern State, aa for a Northern State to claim the right to try a fugi tive slave, as is contemplated in Senator Seward's amendment 'to the Fugitive Slave Bill. Tale it altogether,"!! is a most excellent speech, and spoken in a most excellent spirit, and we doubt net will be carefully read by every one who may have a chance of doing o. FALL OF COFFEE! This article has gone down almost as rapidly as it rose in price. A cargo of 4000 bags of Rio was sold at New Orleans a few days ago at 8 ct. Speculators will lose heavily, and even regular dealers suffer materially. We learn from various source that the quanli'y consumed lias fallen off almost beyond belief.

Ilia Hon ir Mayor Seaton received a telegraphic dispatch this afternoon, from Fredericksburj.Va., stating ihat James Barbour and John C.

The dispatch was referred to Captain Goddard, who, with the a id of officers Handy and Barnac.loe, arretted the parties. An investigation was ordered, which was just closed, each of the parties being bound over in the sum of $5,000 to keep the peace, and not leave the District for the purpose of fighting a duel within the period of one year.

Mon- , key jarMs, it is said sji" jmt be the fashion th TO TiSE H BLIU. The undersigned is endeavoring to collect male rials for a (iazetter or Nokth Carouja; a work whose object will be to present to the public an accurate historical, geographical and statistical account of tlie State. He is impressed with the belief that such a work, if projicrly executed, will serve a useful purpose; that, it will furnifh the bust refutation of the calumnies heaped en the Commouwealth will have sonieeffi-ct in correct ing those sectional prejudices which, from the be ginning, have exercised a baneful infinence in the councils of the State that, .while it slrengthena tlie attachment of the p-iriulic to their home, it may help to stray that tide of emigration un account of . which N. Carolina hat been hitherto but a nurse ry for other States. Nature has denied to this region those navigable wales which bind togellier the extremes of other Siatess Attempt tlie inhabitants to great enterprises but a it to make up for this neglect , she has boun tifully supplied il with every kind of agricultural and mineral productions, and all varieties of plea sant and healthful cjiinate and grand and beautiful scenery. These things, however, cannot be here known by the intermingling of the population cn the cheap high-ways of commerce; and book must, therefore supply the place of rivers, and scholars, authors and school-masters acts as ex plorers. The undersigned believes that others will concur in these views; ana is permitted to hops that the public will contribute its part toward the success cf the enterprise in which be !b enga ged. : . The work of roan'sown hands is dearer to him than a gift which is Ihe handiwork of another; and those who help to make a great State exper ience a eatitfaetion to which emigrant are ever strangers. Besides, the expense and the sacri fice caused by the emigration.from North Caroli na for the last twenty years, would, if judiciously invested in public works, have made the State a garden and have brought a market to every county; and thus, these self-exiled children of our Com monwealth would have made a better State than those to which tliey have gone, would have been enabled to live in ease among the acenea ot their childhood, to hnve encountered the infirmities of ge among their nwn people, and mingled their dust with thai of their kiii'lred in their Father-land. Snch sresomeol the consideration which have prevented the undersi?i.-d from seeking his fortune in other States ; and snch considerations, ke hopes, are beginning to weigh on the public mind. He, therefore, respectfully invites special atte tion to the notice of the work on which he is en gaged ; snd request that those who can will com municate audi information aa may assist him In his undertaking. Hirtorical notices of counties and towns account of peculiarities of : climate and toil, of water-powers, mining operation, and remarkable yields-in fanning and tatitic ol the wealth, productions, and export of different ace will be cratefullv received, lie would also be b lad to eet descriptions of the harbors, sand bar and inlets along Die coast aad would be much gratified with view and sketch of cene ry in this region, in the mountains, or in any other interesting localities. He desires that all commuications be signed with a real name ; ana a hi correspondence is very extensive and on erous, that his friend will be considerate ia re- gird to posts jre. He would earnestly remind those t whom he ha sent circular letters of importance of letting him hear from them in ome way, to that he may not be deceived ; and finally, ask of that most oblig. ingand public spirited of all clae, the Editors in Norm lSrouna, io give inis nuiics an iii in their p pers. He hope that every Editor in tht State mil be kind emugn to comply Kith this rt euett ; for every paper ha readers who do no take any other paper and wno are aom u larnisn some of the Information desired.
