We had the pleasure last winter of becoming ccqtiainicd with Mr. Gulick, and his candor in this instance has confirmed the very favorable opinion we formed of him, as being every whit the gentleman, free fiom the paltry prejudices of the mere partisan : ' Tjie Hornets' Nest is the name of a new pa per published at Charlotte, in this fetate, by J. li. ..Bagger, Lditor and Proprietor, three or four num bers of which we have, had the pleasure of seeing, Thestyle of the paper is something new in North Carolina, and displays commendable energy, and good taste. Although Whig in politics, we wish the Editor a greater abundance Of pecuniary suc cess than geiierally falls to jhe lot of the Press. The s'tyle of the Editorials issprightly and chaste and tjie tone' liberal. The name is rather; a feroci ous ope, we never having had any fancy for aj Jlonxfs JSest, except when a boy to stand at a respectful distance arid throw ' clubs at it, and when; the. hornets discovered! the locality of their assailant,- to- run away, which isf pretty much the sdtme thing that tue British did j when they a- rouscjd the 4 Hornets' Nest" of Liberty at Char lotte,! at the -time of the Declaration of 'Indepen dence. We.shall however be happy to receive a llJrncts' iTciC' froth Charlotte Meekly. The improvement in the appearance of North Carolina newspapers within the past three or four years shows that their circulation is irihpasing ; this im provementis.not in appearance only, but m char- acter an(j cxceUence, and as the press of this state is better patronized, by her citizens, still greater improvemeut may be expected. There are no men,j w;ho as a class, possess more energy and persevrerance-than the Editorial . fraternity ; and wercjthe means of Editors in this Stato equal to their wishes, or, we might justly isayj to their de serts, for here are no men who do so much work lor so little pay, North Carolina newspapers would be equal in ability and appearance, to the country prpss of any other State in the Union." They la bor ujndor many disadvantages, and meet a "com- r petion from the cheap papers of the Northern ci ties, which it is difficult to withstand; yet our newspapers have mauitained themselves in spite of competition. As soon' as North Catolinian3 patronize' their awn presses as they ought to do, they will be satisfied with reading their own news papers. " Tlie Hornets1 Nest" is in advance of the North Carolina pess generally, and ought to be weil sustained, at least by the Whig party in the Western Reserve. Encouragement, i We have received a number of letters from va-. rious sources similar to the one below, but have refrained from publishing any of them. We pub lish this, tho'ynot intended for publication, because it is, from a taleried son of Virginia, one whom we trod the flowery paths of our boyhood with, one wliose road through youth jay along the same pleasant avenues, and who now in more mature years, shares-our sympathii and friendship. Co ming from; so valued and esteemed a source, we with plea'sure give it to our readers as a testi moriiar in favor of our enterprise dictated by the purest motives and most impartial judgment .

THE BOMMER MANURE.; : We were' ouf on Wednesday afternoon to see -1 the manure heap which Mr. C. S Dunning has put op to show to persons wishing to look beibre they leap into the purchase of a right, the import tance of making manure after this meftiod. The heap had only ; been finished about twenty four hours, arid it; had generated within it a heat of about 150 degrees,. .Fahrenheit, arid appeared to be decomposing finely. -. r 1 ' , . The. chief points of excellence of this system, and which commend it to farmers, are, That at a little expense you make , a great deal of ma nure. , ' .

L; B. Aristocratic Appointments.- There is one thing,that we' do earriestlv enter our protest against,; , and tnat is the appointment of the sons of big, men to office. These appoint ments are more frequently than otherwise, given these! scions of aristocracy upon the single merit of their daddy's prosperity -and influence; and not because they, have done or ever can do any thing to merit tWdistinetion. I V ! 1 ; -The. claims of : meritorious, .worthy men, who could confer honor upon the places, are looked; b yer; merely because their fathers have ploughed the ground , shoved ; the jack plane', wielded the sledge, or drawn a waxed thread through tanned cowskin. Oh no ihey can't be thought of.' ' ' Have their 1 fathers ever told any. political lies on the stump? No. Have tApzVTathers ever belch ek .forth any wind and bad 5 grammar in theJiall of Congress j or Senate chamber ? No. Have they- ever become bloated with wealth and aristocracy while feeding around the public crib? No! Well they must stand aside arid give way to the sons of those who have so distiriguished themselves to i "' ' .I.-... - i ' , those w ho have made their teeth come out against a silver spoon, and who have sucked their pap through a golden tube. In this matter we have of ten seen that . r v i . ' i "Tis worth that makes the man." ' " who is rejected, and ; 4Want cfit,the fellow." f that receives the appointment. i i j STREET SPRINKLIN G. We . woke np the other morning and thonght we were in .Charleston,-as we dimly saw -something huge moving along sprinkling , the : streets. We washed the dust out of our eyes that got in there the day before, and found that we were still in Charlotte, and that the- f City Fath ers' of our growing commonwealth, had procured a loco motive sprinkler drawn by a horse and were haying the " d.ust returned to its mother dast" as fast as our "Crotori" could furnish the necessary liquid. : We hope the u fathers" v will not be 1 deterred by any thing silly that may be said, from continuing during this ;J dry weather, to lay the dust low. i 1 ; SCISSORS QUILLS, ; " The Editors of the, 'Tribune" and "Register of Mobile, have been discussingthe relative value pf scissors And quills in making a newspaper interesting." j The 4TrihUBe' advocates the superiority of scissors, and tlje Register the greater advantage Squills" have over them. . ; . -We heard a young fellow, a spruce dandified sort of a gent, enquire of a gentleman how many "quills'' a certain young lady had. When we came Jo nnd? out the Adoiiis meant how many dimes she had. Now if those be. the kind the 'Register meansj, we go for the "quills" decidedly, personally and individually, ourself. Just, fork over the "quills," and we'll have, the in terestirigest paper pefjb&pg anywhere in the neighborhood ef acwaordom, . THE CENTRAL ROAD.

If he 'fails toj appear dr refuses to answer, the Commissioner' is to report hirri t(? court, and if .he" fails to appear and answer he may be proceed-. ed. qgamst as for a contempt, j And? having made 'Jtriowri his estate, if! he refuses to convey or deliv er jit up, he may be committed to jail by order bf court;; .,: I I'- B id has also been dispensed with in .certain, cases ': 2.

If the plaintiff, either upon the institution of his suite or at any time before Judgment, will make affidavit that he has , good cause to believe that his debtor will remove his effects beyond the jurisdiction of the Court before, the judgment can be obtained he may sue out an attachment a asainst' the debtor's property, ;commanding' the L Sheriff to seize and secure the same until needed,. to' satisfy the judgement, or until repueved by bond with security; to have it forthcoming to answer' that end.

Several months ago we "alluded o a. discovery which it was alleged had been "made of a process by which oil naptha, napthalinej niuriate of am monia'piecomar, piticol, . candles, pitch, tar and other substances arc: extracted from Irish peat. It seems that actual experiment lias proved tho practicability of the invention, and t lat oil superi or to spermaceti has been produced. The subject has recently attracted considerable attention in the British Parliament,' and an English paper con tains a report from vhich the following extract is made : . '. .'.' ' '. ' "j : ' '. " Mr3Iahon exhibite to this House a candle, which he said, hid bejen produced from a solid piece of - peat, ;and yhich, he added gave a light equal to the finest wax (The candle, Avhich had all the appearance of a vaxen one, yas handed across the table to the "Treasury bench, where it was inspected with mucli curiosity by. Lord John Russell and other me'mbqrs of the Gcjvcrnm'enf. It . was subsequentl'. lighted in the house, and burned -very, steadily and with great brilliancy.) The honorable member proceed to .say that he had the guaranty of Mr. Owen, a gentleman who had . already established a manufactory in Ireland, having, afnassed immense property in this coun try, and on the faith of yhpse word he would stake his character, that there was, no foreign material iri that candle biit that it was thej produce of a piece of Irish peat," "4 ; ! 1 . After such a demonstration,;' Lord Ashley might be excused for declaring tht 'a hundred thousand acres of Irish peat would be worth more than the whole region of California."- It is said that the oil of peat, if we may so call it, is not only equal to the best spermaceti, but that while, the latter costs 90 to 95 per ton. the former can be pro duced for 40 per ton. This is news for our A merican whalers and porkers, who will be theon- Iy people in the world who will riot heartily re joice at the discovery of this inexhaustible source of wealth for the sons of the Emerald Isle.
