ELIZABETH CITY, N. C. SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 10, 1849 AUTUMN. ' This is the most glorious season of the American year. The bluff equinoctial has blown its hurricane blast, and boon the soft Indian summer will fold around the landscape its curtains of rosy mist. Mean while the air has an exhilarating flavor about it, and the invisible spirit of appe tite, it such a sprite there be; pervades every cubic foot of it. Sport is afoot. Nimrods, arrayed in shooting toggery, with double ' barrels sheathed in selvage 1 I 1 . a t, - ' U covers, -ana leasnea setters capering uy their sides, may be seen at early dawn On their w ay to the ferries. There are wood cock, plenty of them for those who haye good eyes and guns and dogs both in the Jersevs and on Long Island. For those who rjrefer the "Diiant rod and whistling line," there is fine sport at Kingsbiidge, McComb's dam. and "all 'lonir shore. .( Every where there is an invigorating at mosphere, and the ranger of the wood lands who comes home without a feather in his bag, or the whipper of the waters whose exertions have jailed to secure a fin, will be sure to return with a determi nation to make the lauder suffer. Al though confined to a -pen, we can imagine the delights of a day's range .among the long-bills they are as fat as butter now or a few hours of finesse with the stri ped bass. But alas! like Yorick's starling, "we can't get out." The "visible forms' with which we ''hold communion" are not those spoken of by Bryant, nor are our leaded lines appropriate for catching baiss and blackfish. One of these days, if e can escape the little imp who vociferates "copy, copy!" with ?s much pertinacity as the elfin page shouted "lost! lost! lost!" it is our intention tpascertain, by actual inspection, whether nature is what shells cracked up to be. It is nearly fifteen years sinceAve had a regular frolic with her, andWe have a notion that the hills are much ; harder to climb, and the miles considerably longer than they were then. Possibly we might not like the country now.j The released prisoner of the Bas tile asked to be replaced in his dungeon; and there is no tellinfr whether, after fit teen years of non-tntercourse with nature, the old lady might not be considerablelof a bore. It is, or was, our misfortune to be tin able to indite in the country. The few available ideas witn wmch our upper story is populated, abscond and "go to grass" the moment they scent rural air. How Willis managed to write, under; a bridge, is to us a mystery. Perhaps he didn't. Perhaps it was only an arch fb of his a sort of sentimental bait to make the public swallow his lines. We recol lect once trying to pencil a sonnet under the lee of a haystack, but our Pegasus would not stir a step from the fodder. The idea of going into the country to write lis horrible: !we would as soon think of ffo- ins to church to swear. "Copy, sir! copy, sir!" j Take it, thou interjectionary imp, arid avaunt. Noah's Times and Messenger. - I ENTERPRISE AND MANUFACJ TURES IN THE SOUTH. T An able address was recently deliver ed before the American Institute of New York, in the course of which some highly interesting details were given of the con dition of the public improvements and of manufactures of the southern States.. The South has indeed roused herself within! a few years, and her capitalists Ind men pf inierpnse are directing their energies to theMevelopment of the real resources of that section of the Union. Mil'ions of dollars have already been invested in manufacturing establishments; and other millions will soon take the same direction. The convention at Memphis, with refer ence to a railroad to the Pacific, is an im portant movement, and calculated not a little to stimulate the new spirit of enter- nrico nrliifli (-110 e- il 1 . ou ictcnuy Deen mani fested in the South. Delegates were in attendance from Arkansas, Mississippi Alabama, Georgia, Kentucky, Missouri' Texas, Illinois, Virginia, South Carolina and Tennessee, as well as from Pennsyl vania, Massachusetts and New York. Al though nothing definite may be determin ed upon, the leading men will no doubt compare views, survey the whole coun try, recognise and point out the relative position and prospects of the South, arid thus lead to further invesfigarion and fur therenterprise. The New Orleans scheme for a railroad across the Isthmus of Tehu antepec is also a matter of more than or dinary interest, and calculated to show that the northern and southern States w ill not have the race to themselves. Little Delaware, we are assured, has already a greater 'number of manufacturing estab lishments, in proportion to her population, than any other State in the Union, Mary land has invested $45,000,000 in rail roads, canals and manufactures, and she is still busily and actively employed in vari ous laudable undertakings, Virginia his a little investment of about $60,000,000, "error is harmless, when truth and will soon have railroads in active op eration to the extent of fifteen--hundred miles ) North Carolina has five hundred miles of railroads completed or in pro gresswhile even in South Carolina, where until recently, manufactures were ridiculed or denounced, several extensive factories are now in rapid progress aad successful operation. Florida, young as she is, has $4,000,000 invested- in rail roads and manufactories while Georgia has invested $55,000,000, and has up wards of seventy cotton factories in the full tide of succesful experiment. Ala bama, Mississippi, Missouri, Arkansas, Kentucky and Tennessee, are also anima ted by; the same spirit. Mississippi has fifty three cotton factories, while Missouri has invested in internal improvements, mines and manufactories, the enormous sum of &85.0001000. It will thus beseen that our southern brethren are not idle, and we rejoice that it is so. They pos sess many facilities and resources which they have too long neglected. Philad. In quirer. ! WOMEN. It seems as nature connected our in telligence with their dignity, as we con nect ouriiappiness with their virtue. This, therefore, is a law of eternal iustice man cannot degrade woman witnout nimseit " . a . S fall in 2 into the degradation: he cannot raise her without becoming better. Let us cast ouir eyes over the globe, and observe the two gieat divisions of the human race, the eadt and the west. One "half of the ancieni world remains without progress, without thought, and under the load of a barbarous civilization; woman there are slaves. The other half advances towards freedom, light, and happiness: the women there are loved and honored. Never shrink jfrom a woman of strong sense. If she becomes attached, to yoUj it will be from seeing and valuing similar qualities in yourself. You may trust her, for she knows jthe value of your confidence. You may ccjnsult her, for she is able to advise, and does so at once with the firmness of reason &nd the consideration of affection. Her love will be lasting, for it will not have ben slightly wron; it will be strong and ardent, for weak minds are incapable of the loftier grades of passion. If you prefer attaching yourself to a woman of feeble" understanding, it must be either from fearing to encounter a superior per son, or jfrom vanity--of preferring that ad miration which springs from ignorance, to that which approaches to apprecia- tion. Doctors for California. Recent French jpapers state that a number of mer cenary individuals in that country are preparing to proceed to the Sacramento, and offer their medical services to the dig gers, who, it is welL known, are greatly in wantj of doctors These individuals are not connected with the medical profes sion, but in order to give plausibility to their assertions, they have hit on a strange trick, by which "they enrol themselves clandestinely among the profession. The widows of medical men are carefully sought ifter. and offered very handsome sums for the diplomas of their husbands, with which these enterprising gentlemen intend 4to practise in California. Our California friends should be on their guard against these "French physicians." Bos. oar , 21 th. VERMONT LEGISLATURE.

Buckingham; esq., in his series of reminiscences, in course of publication in the Boston Courier, speaks of the impor tance of the printer to the authors, as fol lows: "Many, who condescend to illuminate the dark world with'the fire of their geni jisftfirough the columns of a newspaper, little think of the lot oCtrie printer, who, almost suffocated by the smoke of a lamp, sits up till midnight to correct his false grammar, badorthography, and worse punctuation, 1 have seen the arguments of lawyers.in high repute as scholars, sent to the printer in their own hand-writing, many wordsr and especially technical and foreign terms abbreviated, words misspelled, and few or no points, and those few, if there ..were any, entirely out of place. I have seen the sermons of eminent 'divines sent to the press, with out points or capitals to designate the di vision of the sentences; sermons, which, if published with the imperfections of the manuscript, would disgrace the printer's devil if he were the author. Suppose .1' m - -. . they had so been printed. I he printer would have been treated with scorn and contempt as an illiterate blockhead as a fellow better fitted to be a wood-sawyer than a printer. Nobody would have be lieved that such gross and palpable faults were owing to the ignorance or careless ness of the author. And no one but the practical printer knows how many hours a compositor, and alter him a proof-reader, is compelled to spend in reducing to a readable condition manuscripts that the writers themselves would be puzzled to read." Fro71 the London Punch. In tor it - How to get out of it. Once on a time there was a gentleman who won an elephant in a raffle. It was a very fine elephant, and very cheap at the price the gentleman paid for pis chance. But the gentleman had no place to pu in. Nobody would take it off his hands. He couldn't afford to feed it. He was afraid of the law if he turned i loose into the streets. He was too humane to let it starve. He was afraid to shoot it. In short, he was in a perplexity very natural to a gentleman with moderate means, a small house, common of humanity, and an elephant. feelings Fiance has won her elephant at Rome. She has brought back the Pope. She is at her wit's end what to do with him. She. can't abet the Pope and , the Car dinals, because she interfered in the cause of liberty, She can't abet the Republicans, because she interfered in the cause of the Pope and the Cardinals. She can't act. with Austria because Austria is absolute. She can't act against Austria, because France is conservative. and peaceful. She can't continue her army in Rome, because it is not treated with respect. bhe can t withdraw her army from Rome, because that would be to stultify herself. She can t go forward because she in sisted on the Roman people going back ward. ' ' - She can't go backward, .because the French people insist on her going forward. She can't choose the wrong, because public opinions forces her to the sight. She can't choose the right, because her own dishonesty has forced her to the wrong. In one word, she is on the horns of a dilemma, and the more she twists the more sharply she feels the points on which she is impaled, like a cockchafer in a cabinet, for the inspection of the curious in the lighter and more whirligig species of political etymology. . Poor France -will nobody take her precious bargain off her hands? Rome is her bottle imp. She bought itdearenough but can't get rid of it "at any price." THE POPULATION OF THE WORLD. Nine hundred and sixty millions of hu man beings are supposed to be upon the earth; of which Europe is said to contain one-hundred and fifty-three millions; Af rica, one hundred and fifty-6ix millions; Asia, five hundred millions; America, one hundred and fifty millions; and the islands of the Pacific seven milIions.Tf divided into thirty equal parts, five' of them will be Christain, six Mahometans, one part Jews, and eighteen Pagans...
