How llcary Oluy Faced IH'uth When lleury Clay was debating in bis mind tho nature of bis disease, and as yet had not |uitc renounced the hope of a renewal of his days of action, he sought counsel of Sauiuul Jackson. lie was greatly iu earnest, and wuutcd to knjw tho truth, tbe exact and whole truth, His question was, if tho evident decline in hi? strength was so far beyond relief that he must surely die soon. He required an explicit answer, without color or reserve however nnplcasan'. it lnigbi be for the physician to an nounce an unfavorable result. Dr. Jackscn made a eareful examination, of his condition, found the case to be a clear one, and had the courage to mako to the hero of a hundred parliamentary battles a faithful report. The great statesman received the communication that for him life wus near its close, not without concern, but yet with Uie fortitude of resignation. He declared that be had no dread of death, but he was still troubled by one fear, which was probably suggested to birn by tho recollection of tbe magnifi cent constitution with which be bad started in life. Tliat fear was not of death, but of the mode of dying : be had a terrible apprehension that his last hours would be hours of anguish in a long, agonising struggle between life and death ; this and this only, be said, was the thought that now lay heavily on bis mind. Dr. Jackson explained to him the nature of lii« malady and the smooth aud tranquil channel in which it was to run, and assured him with a sag acity which did not admit of question, that in bis last hour be would die a* quietly as an infaut falls asleep in its cradle- "Yra give un infinite relief," answered Clay. The chief terror which death had for liitn vanished. Cliiverlu* Mr. Collier, of Mathews county, ar rived in Richmond on the York River train lust Monday, lie came in com pany with Mm.

In conversation with a reprcsen sative of the Whig newspaper be said that the grief of Mrs. Tunstall at the sad termination of the trial of her ne phew could not be piotured. Regarding Willie Cluvcrius, he remarkod that the affectionate brother of tho doomed man had given vent to toars to tfucb an extant that his eyes appeared contracted. Mr. Collici visited the prisoner in his «pl), lie found him in • bright and jo vial humor and lenrned that he ate heartily of wlift might be termed luxu rious food.

They had previously hooked one of tlitt same size, and he bad been shot six times with the rifle, wlieu ho sucecoded iit cutting the chain u«od for a liuo aud went off with the hook in bis uiouth. Tbo shaiks struggled and floundcrod terribly after being hooked, and great exciteuicut existed among the men, especially when the maddened monster would dart back and forth under the boat, and threatening every moment to overturn it and throw the inmates into the deep water, whore they would have become an oasy prey to their sbarksbips. Tbcie are pleaty of the monsters iu the neighborhood of where Messrs.

Ulvn lnit Ti ll>ute to the l'r«»» During our wanderings wc wore |uito surprised to sec young ladies wi'th mus lin belts 011 lined with newspapers, in one instance the Wilmington Star. Advertisements in it were easily reada ble. Wc feel assured that an "ad" in that edition of tbo Star was pcculiuly valuable. Hut few people realize tho wide field that belongs to journalism. A newspaper furnishes the best food in the world or goats ; a goat will chew a newspaper for hours and be pcrfoetly contented. A newspaper makes the, best bustle in existence, as well as the ! cheapest, and, as wc above stated, it is unrivalled as a lining for a bolt. Ver ily progress is the motto of the day.— Payottcville Sun. Gen Stuart'» Widow. The Philadelphia Tiuius says ■ "Mrs. J. E. Is. Stuart, tbc widow of tho dash ing Confederate cavalry general, is vis iting her father General l'hillip St. George Cooke, of Detroit. Mrs. Stuart married six months before the war broke out, and the father and son-in-law en tered the opposing armies. General (-00k was opposed to General Stuart only once on the battle-field." Mrs. Stuait is also the sister of licncral John R. Cooke,of Richmond, than whom thero was no more gallant officer in the Confertorate army. The TexMN Custom William Mathews clopod with the wife of James Seerist, of Comanche county, '1 clad, and when he afterwards called upon Mr. Seerist for the personal effects of the lady, that gentleman shot him dea l. It served him right. He should have known that his last act was an unpardonable breach of Texas eti quette. After you have eloped with another man's wife it is not proper lo look at htm except over the sight of a self-cocking rovolver. WATER AT CAMAPA.— As some anx iety has been expressed by parties who have uot seen tho location, in regard to the supply of water at Cauiaca, we would My there arc convenient to tho place fifteen springs, and that every lot will be convenient to a spring of what we oall pure mountain water, all of which arc, however, more or less im pregnated with iron or other medicinal properties. Ilencc the hcalthfulness of the location. Several of tho mineral springs proper arc immediately on Indi an creek, which will furnish ample wa ter power to fore tho water from the springs, or water may be conveyed by pipes from magnificent springs around the baso of the Sauratown mountain far above the town, while the stream which falls over the Grassy Gap, near 500 feet high, could be made to form one of the grandest fountains in the world.— No ono wc think has yet seen the loca tion and surroundings but is pleased with it, and is bound to say that if na ture cvci formed a place specially for a town it is this. There are beautiful groves of natuial forest trees, magnifi cent scenery on every side —tho eleva tion being some 1,400 feat above the sua level and . r )00 feet above the bed of the l>an. It is fanned day in and day out by almost perpetual breezes, while the celebrated I'iedmolit springs and I'eppcr's Alum springs (ire within easy distance, to give a remedy for almost every disease.

To the Weary, Feeble AND J^EAS^IESEgvER. Seeing tbc need in thit section of a place where the weary, feeblo and brok en down may rocniit their health and rest; where they and their families way spend the hot season pleasantly when it is necessary to leave their homes or change air, that the failiug health ef some loved one may be restored, we havo laid out A NEW TOWN and aro now offoring for salo lots in probably the licalthiest section in North Carolina. The town is located on a beautiful Flat Mountain Jiirigc 2 1 . miles west from Panbury , about { of a mile from the oelebiated Piedmont springs; about the same distuuee to Pepper's Alum springs ; i of a mile from Smith's Chalybeate spring, and two wiles from 0. K. Moore's Sulphur spring, while tho location presents ( The Finest Views of Moore's Kuob, the Hanging Rock, uud other prominent peaks along the ' Sauratown mountain, Tbo lots aro ' well coyercd with large and small forest j trees, which will afford shade in summer aud form Itouutitul OrovcH. The whole is Surrounded by Springs of the purest mountain water, entitling it to the Indian name, "I'uuiaca," a land of springs, which, together with the pure mountain air, wouU bring col cr to the faded cheek, and streugtb to weary frame, even if tboro was no real mineral water within a hundred miles of the place. The undersigned propose also to oreot a saw-mill, planing machine, &c., that they may build cottages or furnish lum ber to those who wish to purchaso lots ; In this healthful locality, whero no ma laria srer comes, and a case of typhoid fever was never known, oxccpt it was contracted out of the neighborhood.
