No election and the House then adjourned. President's Message. This long-looked for document was transmitted to both Houses of Congress en Wednesday last. It is ably written :;nd enters into lengthy details on th various subiccts connected with the for- t-' ri'n and domestic relations of the Gov eminent. The President takes strong ground for the South, and this portion of the Message will receive the hearty approval of every true patriot in the land. Pound Dead. i Mr. Warrcu Pitt, of this county, was futind dead in the road near the Poor Kou-e, on Sunday morning last. He .had been to a hiring the day previous, and it is supposed he became intoxica ted as he was a man of intemperate habits. He left a family. We learn also that a negro man be longing to the estate of Henry Shirley, deceased, was found dead in the same vicinity a few days since. Extensive Side of Land and Nyroes. We invite attention to the advertise ment, respecting the sale of the Planta tion and Negroes of the late Gov. Dud ley, in Onslow county. A fine oppor tunity is presented for purchasing that species of property. A safe hiudment. The reader will find in our adverti sing columns that the Town of Wil minion offers bonds for sale in convc nienfc sums, affording a good opportuni ty for a safe investment. fcSTWe invite attention to the Card and advertisements of Messrs. N. M. Martin, Son & Co., of Richmond, Va., and N. M. Martin, Bro. & Co. of Pe ttrsburc. Mr. Martin has been long known to many of our citizens as a gen tleman of correct and energetic busi ness habits, and having asssciatcd with him one of our own citizens, Mr. Tannahill, presents additional claims to the patronage of our people. Education in North Carolina. Under this head the Norfolk Herald remarks : : The State of North Carolina has dis tributed among the several counties of the State, during the current year, the sum of one hundred and eighty-one dollars for the support of Common Schools. We hope that the county 1 which some yeyigo gave 1,300 ma jority 'against t&loption of the school system, has been sufficiently enlightcn- 'cd by its operation to be prepared to give a like majority on the other side, should the question be again submitted to a popular vote. AWhad. hoped that ere this time the federal presses would have been suffi ciently enlighted to understand the political action of this county, which is evidently allude! to by the Herald; but the astounding 1,300 demoratic v majority on all political questions, per plexes them, perverts their judgment, and disqualifies them from properly un derstanding the motives which influence their decision. The Rileigh Standard gives them another lesson on this sub ject, which we copy with pleasure; it gays, in reply to the above- In addition to the above amount, the counties of the State also levy a tax for Common Schools; and we presume wt do not overstate the amount when we say that the people of North Carolina are now paying annually 5250,000 for the support of Coin moo Schools. No one need fear that the liberties of such a people will not be preserved" and per petuated. The Herald has gone out of the way to do injustice to the noble county of Edgecombe. That county, it is true, refused at first to adopt the Common School system; but the refusal was far from being based on opposition to a sys tem of public instruction. The people of Edgecombe belie vd that the fund, when distribution was first made, was too small to be af service. They pre ferred to wait until the fund should accumulate. They did so, and drew, we believe, at one time from the treasu ry some eight or ten thousand dollars. They have now, if wc are not mistaken, a permanent school fund; and their Common Schools are equal in every res-j pect to those of any other county in the . o,..;. ur ..... ,.u o tl,:,t tl,;J State.

To uin up in a few words, no county in this Stat"! or Virginia, has better public roads, finer farms, more or better schools in proportion to population, or 1 more enlightened people than Edge combe county. Fortune Telliny in New York. The Times says: "Some two hundred astrologers, clairvoyants, and fortune tellers exist in this city," and that "it is impossible to estimate the amount of ruin which clairvoyants and fortune tellers work on the simple and vvcak- minaeu. nenave uearu wen auiucuii catcd stories of terrible do aiestic misery resulting from a belief in the tales of these lying sorcerers. Sick people are prevented from consulting respectable medical practitioners by a blind belief in these swindling quacks.' . Simple coun try people lose their time, thuir money, and someiimes their reason, in fruitless searches after lost or concealed treasu; e, aided and abetted by these self insti tuted magicians." Female Ejuextrian ism . The Grand Jury at Pittsburg, Penn- sylvania, has "presented female eques trianism at agricultural fairs as a nui sance. That. Grand Jury was composed of sensible men. The women in some sections of the North are too fond of exhibiting themselves. The propensity they manifest for masculine attire and vocations is alarming. What with Bloo merism and Equestrianism, the male tenure of breeches at the North is be coming every day more precarious. If women are permitted to hold the reins in public, it will not be long ere they will seize them in private, and prove on every domestic race track that "the gray mare is the better horse."
