VOLUME X NUMBER 133. WHOLE NUMBER 1233 WILMINGTON, N. C, THURSDAY MORNING, JANUARY 24, 1856. MISCELLANY. . . - china; A correspondent of the New York Jour nal of Commerce, writing from Shanghai, gives some interesting j information in re gard to the vital statistics of the Chinese. These, he sajs, have not attracted the at-? tention, in the United States, which they deserve. . The discovery of gold mines in California or Australia is not a small mat ter: but should mines of gold be compa red with millions of men ? Its "living souls" its men, women' and children give a country its power. The lack of moral worth among the Chinese is compensated by its numbers. Low as is their condition compared with that of European nations, it is commanding, when viewed with that of their immediate neighbors. Materials for examination of vital statistics in China are abundant. In the present distracted Annriitinn of th rmifitrv 'i lhi orpafpr naTt - v s a--- . r ,-- .of .the State papers is "wholly" devoid of truth. For information, then, we must turn ta a different class of writings which cor responds to the histories of towns. hips in the United States. Every community has its own Tung Chi as these histories are called. ' From one of these, which embra ces the statistics for the whole empire, it is found that in 1710 the population was esti mated at 23,000,000 1 This estimate is un doubtedly too low. The census taken in 1792 phows a population pf upwards of 307,000,000. In 1812, we find the popu lation has risen to 360,000,000 in the eigh teen provinces - This was the period; of the Chinese Empire's highest prosperity ; yet, notwithstanding this prosperity has given place to direct confusion, it cannot be but that the above number has been "swelled to 400,000,000. . In a commercial point of view, China presents one of the most inviting fields in the world. Its peo ple are a nation of traders, batterers and salesmen. Free intercourse with 400,000, 000 of people is a matter of moment, and may well be so considered by the United States." There are, too things religious, political, scientific, as ell as commercial, which should not be disregarded. This intercourse is yet to be secured. Very few, in America,; are aware of the excee dingly narrow limits prescribed to their countrymen, in the "Celestial Empire." American - commerce with China dates back only to 1784, when the ship Empress sailed from New York, i A single porfon ly, then, and for a long time after, was opened to commerce ; and it is now re stricted to five. . . i Our benevolent enterprises first gained a footing in China in the year 1,829 ;j as for scientific pursuits such as the investi gation of the country's; natural products and the surveys of the coast not a begin ning has been made. I ! : The writer thinks that for the United fitafao tt nleaA rta trail fnro nf I lajtunf ty vessels on the China coast with a view to the introduction and regulation of a free intercourse with these millions !of men would be like putting money into the bank at the largest interest. i 'A PIECE OF HER MIND." . 1 In the Baton Roue Advocate we find the following peppery; communication from, the advocate says, "a i vounj and handsome widow, who sometime since discarded the weeds of woe." It appears that three young gentleman of that town had published a -card, which the widow chose to oonsitler in some degree personal Her letter ' is a mo del in is way : j , z Baton Rocge, JanuanylO. -.

Yours, &c , A WIDOW. -Can you take off my "baird't here?" said a crave, tall, slab-sided Yankee to an Alba ny barber : feeling, at the same time, his chin with a noise like a grater; '"it's a light . . . MTV. ' : , oaira : wnai a yer tax t x nree cents lor a light baird, ain't it ?" Yes." "Waal, go a head then." .While the barber was rasping three cents worth Irocn bisbhin, his '-sitter" saw an assistant putting cologne upon a cus tomer 8 hair, through a quill m the cork or a bottle.

The reasons of the discrimi nation hitherto made can only be found in the idea, that the attention of Congress has SHELBY. Shelby, N. C. Jan. 17. The village of Shelby evinces proofs of prosperity at pre; sent, probably greater than it has since its ocation. Several handsome buildings are being erected, which will afford convenience to the indwellers, and . present a fine appear ance to the beholder. The Stores have been well stocked with articles of merchandise, from which the wants and tastes of most of our people can be served. There are also two schools, Male and Female, that are in a flourishing condition. Conveniences of a substantial kind are pre pared for those who are patronizing these schools, and the citizens of this place will continue to bestow kindness on those who are inclined to support them. The Odd Fellows have manifested a liberal intention in their endeavors to from a high school, adapted to the needs of up-country people The act is benevolent, and will receive re ciprocal regard from those that feel an in terest for the success of such enterpri ses. : - ' , These, with other things are rendering Shelby a desirable place Times. UNFORTUNATE OCCURENCE. We learn that a few days ago, a Mr. Horn, and a Mr. Green of this county, were making preparation at the house of Green for a deer-drive, when Mrs. Green was instantly killed by the accidental dis charge of Horn's gun. He had placed the muzzle of his gun against the house, for the purpose of tightening the cap on the tube, when it suddenly fired. borne three or four children were serious ly wounded by the same discbarge, but we learn that they are recovering. ihis again demonstrates the importance ol caution by persons handling fire-arms. lb. Why the Gas goes out in Cold Weath er. Mr. Jou glass becretary of the iNew York. Gas Regulator Company, writes a letter to the press to tell the public why the gas fails in cold weather, and the remedy therefor. He says: "Where the frost strikes the pipe, in crossing under iron gratings, from the sidewalk, or in alleyways, or any other openingit freezes the condensation of gas,. making a kind of crystalization or gauze-work, like a spider-web, and, where the pipe is not too large, will completely stop the flow of gas. This network is sim-' ilar to a spider-web. In most instances it. can be thawed out by simply holding a Same from a newspaper or from a torch of pine wood and alcohol upon a shovel; it will in a few minutes be entirely free. All wet metres should be filled with alcohol immediately, if not done, and pipes cross ing upon open passages should be boxed or covered with woolen coverings." N. Y. IJzpress. DICKENS MOLLIFIED In Dickens' last Christmas and New Year's story, "The Holly Tree Inn " he acknowledges that the Americans area kind, generous, large-hearted and great people. The Americans will fall overcome with gratitude for this favorable endorse ment of their character, though he 'did slan der them when he returned to England. As he once visited this country for a few weeks, and travelled in a railroad car from New York to Washington, at the rate of thirty miles an hour, he is eminently qua! ified to judge. COLES COUNTY, ILLINOIS. The Charleston (111.) Courier of Jan. 10th, says that for the year 1855, the hogs sent from the county w4U return hot less than $500,000. The beef, at the lowest figure, may be set down al 400,000, mules iou.uuu, ana mere is now remaining un sold not less than 1,250,000 bushels of corn, which may be fairly estimated at 30 cents per bushel an additional sum of $375,000 making in all over one and a half mill ions of dollars. CURE FOR BOTTS OR GRUBS. Take one pound of Alum, and dissolve it in one quart of milk, and then drench the horse, the next minute drench with one quart of Linseed oil, in five minutes the horse will go to eating. It has been tried in a number of cases, ,and all have been successful. . HEALTHY FOOD. . ill all the articles ot tood, boiled rice is digested in the shortest time an hour.- As it contains eight tenths nutritious mat ter, it is a valuable substance for diet. Tripe and pig's feet are digested almost as rapidly. Apples, if sweet and ripe, are next in order. Venison is almost as sooh as apples. Roasted potatoes are digested in halt the time required by the same vege table boiled, which occupy more than three hours and a half more than beef or mut ton. Bread occupies three hours and a quarter, sstewea oysters ana oouea rggs are digested in three hours and a half an bour more than is required by the same ar ticles raw. , A FEMALE. The editor of the Portsmouth, Va., Tran- script has been informed by Dr. Barclay, of the U. S. ship Dale, that the inhabitants of San Antonio, Cape de Verds, numbering about 30.000 are actually in a state of star vation. For want of other provisions they were killing and eating all their jackasses, &c, and were really in a most deplorable conditions - The officers of the Dale have been eye witnesses of the intense sufferings of these people. LEGAL aUESTION. : The following pertinent question was ad dressed to a lawyer in a neighboring vill age: '. ' ,. . -- "If "distance lends enchantment to the view, and the view refuses to return it, can distance obtain anv legal redress? r The lawyer refuses to answer until he receives a retainer., . I Who. according to Shakspeare, was the greatest chicken butcher? Claudius, "who did murder most foul f - - MR. FILLMORE. -A foreign correspondent of the Ledger alluded thus handsomely to this eminent statesman : "Nothing, indeed, can exceed the unos tentatious carriage and simplicity of the American Ex-President on his whole jour ney through Europe. He goes and sees everything, yet nobody finds out who he is and what elevated station he occupied till he is gone. In Paris, while at the Hotel du Louvre, the landlord never knew his guest till some American had inquired for Ex-President Fillmore; and the same thing occurred in Marseilles, Nizza, Genoa an I Leghorn. When the people learned who he was; there was considerable expressment to serve him, bu' he afforded them no op portunity. Living in the simplest manner, and exacting nothing that is not usual with the most unpretending and unassuming gentlemen, he only leaves people with re gret that they cannot show him some proof of their respect, or some attention corres ponding with his station. "Mr. Fillmore has now been in England, France, Prussia, Austria and Italy, and will have seen all Europe before he re turns to the United States. He has every where been the unobserved observer of the poople and their institutions, and will re turn to the United States a better judge- of European governments than the whole body of unfledged diplomats who are in a habit of sending abroad that they may be come acquainted with court gossip and court manners, much to the detriment of their knowledge and usefulness in foreign parts. The manner in which Mr. Fill more travels is the only one by which an American can really become acquainted with Europe and learn to love and cherish his own country. I hope to meet him again in Rome; and shall be delighted to pay him again that respectful homage to which his many private and public virtues, the true republican simplicity of his character, and the distinguished services be has ren dered out great country, entitle him. What a source of pride to be able to call oneself Le fellow citizen of such a man I' THE BODY FOUND. Philadelphia, Jan. 19 An intense ex- citeme.it prevailed among the denizens m the vicinity of Pine and Aston streets, on Thursday, in consequence of a charge be ing made against two men of foul play, in making away with a female. Ihe neigh bors positively asserted that they heard :ams issuing from the house on Wed nesday night; and that bloody tracks were lovered leading from the house to a back-house. The Coroner and the police were notified of the matter, and diligent search and inquiry, was made, while for squares around the only topic of conversa- lon was about the dreadful murder. The itatement of one of the prisoners, that the blood was that of a dog which they had killed, had no effect to turn suspicion from tbern, or allay the horrible fever, which had seized upon both great and small The officers of justice still keep up the search, and on Thursday afternoon, they were informed by the accused, that no one had been killed except a dog: that they had been to a ball the night previous, and on entering their house, on their return home, they found a dog in the room. One of the party cut the dog on the side of the neck with his knife, and the animal, exci ted by the pain, not only howled, but jump ed out of the window and fled in the direc tion where the bloody tracks had been seen. The two followed the bleeding dog, and after dispatching him, threw his life less trunk into a cess-pool. On examing the place indicated, the dog, with his throat cut, was found, and thus the suspicion, that a female had been murdered, was given the lie, though a few positive individuals are not yet fully satisfied with the expla nation. The men who were arrested, we are informed have been held in bail to ans wer any charge that may hereafter be brought against them. HOW THE MODEST MAN WAS MISTAKEN. The Lowell Courier is responsible for the following: ln a neighboring city, at 1 hackeray's lectures, a few evenings since, a young gentleman, the modest man of his sex, and no less polite than modest, was sitting in a pew rather remote from the light. A pretty lady sat next to him. Looking on the floor during the lecture, he espied what he thought was the lady's handkerchief, the lace trimmed edge just visible from un der her dress, lurning to his pew mate he gallantly whispered, "You've dropped your handkerchief, madam I and before she could reply, he proceeded to pick it up. tiorror I he bad seized the edge or her pet skirt, and did not discover his mistake until the top of a gaiter boot stared him in the face, and the faint sound of a laugh just nipped in the bud by the application of a real handkerchief warned nun of bis mis taken. "Moral. Don't attempt to pick up any thing with lace to it before you know what it is.". CHLOROFORM. At a recent meeting of the Academy of Sciences -at Peris. M. Fiourens. speaking of the power ot chloroform, remarked that its use in lha field hospitals of the army doubled the strength aud power ot the surgeons, as they are more masters ol ibeir action when operating on an inert mass, and are no lon ger disturbed by tlie cries or . movements ol the patienL In the campaign in the Cri mea, chloroform was employed. 'he stated'. more than 25.000 times, and always with success. -This immense result, said M Fiourens '-is the beat reply to those who had iVIt apprehension at the use of this powerful auxihary to surgcal operations." EXCITEMENT IN FAYETTEVILLE, c; A faro bank was broken np in Fayette' ville. JN. C. a few evenings since, and the apparatus seized and burnt in the streets th nex t morning. ' Th gamblers were non-resi dents, who had been there only a few days One of them escaped from a window of their room, and the other deposited $1000 as bail Did you ever see me with more than could carry" , i "No; but l have seen you when you had better gone twice for your load.
