In all the Kpeech.es which I made to you in the Spring and Sumuir of 1SG1, as well as in a printed address to the people of the State, on or about tho 80th of May, 1861, 1 declared, in substance, that it I had believed it was the object of the North to sub jugate the South and to emancipate our slaves, in violation of the Constitution, I would have gone as far is the farthest in advocating resistance to the utmost extent My attention has just been called to a proclama tion issued by the President of the United States on the 22d of September, 1862, in which he declares that "on the first day of January, in the year of our Lord one thousand eight hundred and sixty three, all persons held as slaves within any State, or any designated part of a State, the people whereof hall then be in rebellion against the United States, shall be thenceforward and forever free, and the executive government of the United States, inclu ding the military and naval authority, will recog nize and maintain the freedom of such persons, and will do no act or acts to suppress suoh persons or any of them, in "any efforts they may make for their actual freedom." I need scarcely remind you that one of the evils which I dreaded-and predicted as the results of the efforts which were made to dissolve the Union, was that, in the progress of the war, they might open the way for servile insurrection and the overthrow of the institution of slavery. Jly opinions as to the unconstitutionality and impolicy of secession iniain unchanged, i?ut in my last speech in Con- fress, und on various other public occasions, 1 hare vindicated and maintained, and still maintain, the right of revolution. On no occasion, however, did I ever assert the doctrine that a violation of the Constitution by one party would authorize or justi fy similar or other violations by the opposing party. The paramount causes hic:i have controlled or in fluenced my conduct and opinions were love for tho Union and an unshaken conl dence that we had the best Constitution and government in the world. B it, of all the acts of despotism of which the civil war in which wo are now engaged has been the pro lific source, there is not one, which, in the slightest degree" eguals t:ie airucity and barbarism of Mr. Lincoln's proclamation. At one blow, it deprives ail the citizens 'of the slave States, without distinc tion, of the right to hold slaves right guaranteed br tho very Constitution he pretends to uphold. It is true, he makes an intimation that he will r commend to Congress to provide just compensation to Union masters in the slave States, but what right has he or the. government of the United States to deprive them of this property without their con sent? And what assurance have they that this vague and general intimation will be applied to theta, or that an abolition Congress, reeking with the blood of the South, and jubilant in the posses sion of usurped power, will adopt his. recommen dation? ' We are in the midst of a sea of difficulties. Many acts have been done in the South to which we were bitterly opposed as a people, and whii-h we who have adhered to the Union, in spite of perils and dangers, could not justify or palliate. But the Union men of East Tennessee are not nt?w, and never were Abolitionists. The Union men of East Tennessee are not now, and never have been, committed to tho flru-tT-inea of innpnflinricin anrl mnripr frt urhlt'h MV Lincoln's proclamation leads. What, then, is the pfth of duty in the trying circumstances which surround us? Is it to belie all our past professions' ami to sustain Mr. Lincoln's administration, right or wrong? Is it to justify a man, whom we had no agency in elevating to power, not only in abandon ing the Coistitution of the United States, but in re pudiating the Chicago platform, his inaugural ad dress and messages to Congress in which the abso lute right to slavery in thcfetates where it exists was distinctly and unequivocally conceded ? Or is it, in view of his many violations of the Constitu tion, and this crowning act of usurpation, to join that side which at .present affords the only earthly hope of successful resistance? I am aware, my countryman, that you will find dilQcultics in bringing your minds to the same con ' elusion at which my own has arrived. Many wan ton and unauthorized acts of cruelty and oppression have been perpetrated among ytu, which, instead ot changjng your opinions, have only been calcula ted to aggravate and intensify a heroic principle of endurance. Many of these acts have been commit ted in remote places, without the knowledge or ap probation of the authorities at Richmond, or of those who have heid the supreme command in East Tennessee, and under such circumstances that you felt it dangerous to complain. Gradually and slowly the outrages have at last become known, and in the very recent proclamation issued by Major General Jones, you have the assurance that your complaints will be heard, and the most energetic - measures adopted to remedy the evils to which you have been subjected, t Let not then, a sense of pri vifte and present wrongs blind you against the enormities already perpetra ted, and still more seriously contemplated by Mr. Lincoln's Administration. If a majority of the Re publican party have heen sincere in their profes sions of a determination to respect the right of slave ry in the States, and if the light of freedom is not utterly extinguished in the Jiorth, may we not hope that a spirit of resistance will be aroused in that section when, combined with the efforts of the South, will bur1 Mr., Lincoln from power, and even yet re store peace and harmony to our distracted and di vided country ? But if, through fear-or any other cause, Mr. Lincoln's infamous proclamation is sus tained, then we have no Union to hope for, no Con stitution to struggle for, no magnificent and unbro ken heritage to maintain, no peace to expect, save such as, with the blessing of Providence, we way conquer. The armies which have been sent near you to tantalize you with hope have been withdrawn, and, with cool audacity, Mr. Lincoln virtually tells you that you have no rights. No alternative re mains but to choose the destinv which an arrop-ant ana unprincipled Administration forces upon us. It is almost unnecessary to declare to you that I adhered to the Union amidst good report and evil report, suffering and danger, while it was in my power to support it, and that, when my efforts were paTalyzed and my voice silenced by causes beyond my control, I have cherished the hope that all might yet be well; but "the last link is hroWon" t,.t bound roe to a government for which my ancestors fought, and, whatever may be the course of others, I shall feel it my duty to encourage the most perse- vering and determined resistance against the tyrants and usurpers of the Federal administration who have blasted our hopes and are cruelly seeking to destroy the last vestige of freedom among us. If you would save yourselves from a species of carnage unexampled in the history of North America, but unequivocally invited in Mr. Lincoln's proclamation let every man who is able to light buckle on hu armor, and, without awaiting the slow and tedious process of conscription, at once volunteer in tfie struggle against him. The race is not al ways to the ' swift nor the battle to the strong, and it cannot, in the nature of things, be possible that a just God will prosper the effort?, of a man or a government which has hypocritically pretended to wage war in behalf of the constitution, but now throws off the mask and sets it utterly at defiance. No despot in Europe would dare to exercise the poVers which Mr. Lin- coin in less than two brief years, has boldly usurped, ue h 8.,Kp(:nde(1 the. writ of habeas corpus in re S2r... 1 V0 who have been or mav be im- the r ht T and thus destroyed right ThirfK t! liberty of the ciliz". b'11 which the mnil.-rl n , . ui ciii-'ianu. wresten by fore from King John, and inserted in the great charter of Brttish freedom a right which it caused centuries of contest to engraft upon the British con- I stitution; a right for which our iainere sieru.y struggled and which is incorporated in every Ameri can constitution. He has called armies into tho field, without authority, according to his own ac knowledgment, and has become a military Dictator. He now claims the prerogative to abolish slavery without our consent ; and, if he can thus take our Degrees, why may he not take our. lands, and eve rything else we possess, and reduce us to a state of vassalage to which no parallel can be found save lft the history of the Middlo Ages. Thomas A. R. Nelsok. Knoxville,Sd October, 1662. Correspondence of the Charleston Mercury. X -Richmond, Tuesday, October ?. Van Dorrii Despatch Bragg Paralyses Kentucky A. P. Eilts Immodesty Visit of Gov. Vance ' its Object Yankee Pictures Onslaught upon Randall, etc., etc This city has not been much gratified on yester terdayat Van Dorn's despatch about the fight at Corinth. If its tone were not objectionable, tho time at which it was sent just at the most critical moment, and before the battle was decided is enough to establish the author's claim to a deficien cv in calibre. His order expelling reporters and suppressing newspapers, his unauthorized procla mation of martial law, his jubilation ovor tbe "im mortal " Arkansas, prove him to be wanting in wis dom, and altogether unfit to command such a man as Sterling Price. We are morally certain that, in the end, there was nothing to brag of at Corinth, else we would have heard of it before now. A large number of Confederate prisoners came up in five boats yesterday, winning with them Northern papers ot the 4th. One item deserves at tention, to wit : Buell's wagon train, 22 miles lo?g, had reached Louisville. AV here was Morgan where was Forrest 1 Since Bragg entered Kentucky, every body has been stricken with the paralysis of cau tionno brilliant thing has been done. Before he came, all was activity ; and now even the Yankee Morgan has been permitted to come all the way from Cumberland Gap without molestation. An immense army, which might have been whipped in detail, has been massed in Iirags's front, and in stead of the assailant he is himself assailed. While on the subject of Generals, I cannot let A. P. Uilt pass. His address to the Light Division, published in tins morning's Enquirer, claim that his command has done more than all the others, been in all the battles from Mechanics l'.le to the present time, saved the day at Manassas and Sharps burg, etc., etc. all of which may lie true, but would sound better and be generally believed if it ca ne from other lips. The crowning glory of our Generals and their contra distinction lrom Yankees has beeti the self-denying piety and modesty of their despatches. Ewell's division performed feats of valor surpassed by none, j et Ewell never opened his lips. On the other hanil. Hill has uten unuer arrest nce fr bringing over Longstreet, and once for insulting-Jackson. Giudy, giduy is the height ! Gov. Vance is here, it is said, for the purpose of informing the President that he intends to keep 25.000 of the new levies fur home defence. . The roast ought to be defended, but, except in a case like that of Charleston, it would be safer policy to keep the enemy from dispersing by menacing him Constantly with the largest aiiny we can muster. To whip MeClcllan in Maryland is the best ay to protect our coasts, 1 have before me a copy of the New York Illus trated Netrs, of October 11th, a week ahead of time. Its frontispiece is a likeness of Gen. Franz Sicgel with the face of a bull-terrier, round and truculent. Also, a large picture, an " Interior View of Castle Pinckjiey, Charleston Harbor, S. C a Rebel Military Prison fur Union OiBcers and Sol diers, sketched by a late visitor. the comic cut on the last page represents the " Enthusiastic reccp tion.in Maryland of the author of those affecting lines, My Maryland." Randall is pictured as a tall, raw-bony Scotchman, not unlike James Gorden Ben nett, in.-ags, with a sorrowful face, a broken banjo in his hands, a string of stolen ducks and chickens tied about bis waist. Thus ragged and forlorn, he is making diligent tracks from a, stout fellow, who is bent on pitching into his undefended rear with a pitchfork. Harper's Weekly of the same date has a parody on Randall's famous lines, one verse of which runs thus : 'Where is Longstreet, Johnston. Lee? Maryland, i.'iy Maryland. And " Stonewall Jackson," wnere is he ? Maryland, iny Maryland. Foar coat-tails flappmg in the breeze all tbe lu.ya! soldier sees; Heller ibis ilian dangling on the trees. Maryland, luy Maryland ! This is as near as I can come at it after a single glance. HERMES. THE FUTURE. The present is the parent of the future, and all ; wise men provido for its exigencies. We plant, we j sow, we build, for the future. Life itsclfaccording i to Christianity, is but a preparation for the eternai future. All government, in its daily operations, if t directed by wisdom, takes in the future not the , present only in its consideration. If the present i only was regarded, who would go through the toils, I the sufferings, the miseries of revolution and war ! j But it is future security future prosperity future liberty and independence which induces a people . to take up the sword in resistence to. present op- pression or invasion. Successful war, like all other J enterprises, depends upon preparation looking to ; the future. It is here the Government of the Con federate States has failed. It never has been able to scan the future. Hence it has made no adequate preparations to meet it. Last spring we were found i by our enemies without preparations to encounter their immense hosts, the teeolest sort ot ettorts were made to obtain a navy to defend our ports, or harass our enemies on the high seas. At this time, whilst our enemies are raising three hundred thou sand additional troops, the first Conscript Law has hardly been enforced in some of the Slates, and tbe President expresses doubts of our requiring more men to carry on the war successfully. Clothes, hats, shoes, blankets,- during the. last summer months, could have been imported by the Confede rate Government for our soldiers in the field. Now the people. in the States are called on to supply the 1 gross negligence and inefficiency of the Govern- ment, by lurnishini; clothes to the armVr This was i in part excusable last year ; but now, after a whole year s resources nave, been before the (government, J reauei s -are probaoly aware ol them. Having en it is not excusable that the people of the States be J. joyed its singular benefits in the speedy cure of looked to by the Government for any nccessi of ! Yellow Jaundice, I felt bound, as a philanthropist, the army. And yet further will not the caltini- ! to let others similarly affected know, and make trial tous experience of tbe past teach our Government j of thsm. The proprietors have made great exer to put in the field a sufficient number of troops in tions to-render visitors comfortable and bappy. time to meet our enemies ? Will we again ever he ; They are eminently polite, accommodating gentle found unprepared to meet them, and new inroads 1 men, .richly meriting the patronage, which, I am upon the Confederate States be successfully made, ) gratified to learn, has been accorded them most and Kichmond perhaps be again beleaguered, and another campaign .of .Southern invasion be opened? Can no calamities, no experience, induce the Gov ment to exercise a wise forecast, and act in such a manner as to end the war ? With a sufficient num ber of men now in the field, properly equipped, we could so assume the aggressive as to end the war; or we can keep inadequate forces in the field, badly provided, and .protract indefinitely the war. Which is the course of wisdom ? Is it n6t the dictate of true humanity, as well as of policy, not to let our gallant armies be worn out and wasted by continued battles, in which decisive victories are not achieved, but to keep them in such numbers as shall recruit their strength and enable them to b'e conclusively victorious ? Our soldiers have always fought against featful odds. Their unsurpassed heroism has saved our cause. Shall this half-way policy be continued until they are overwhelmed and destroyed in detail by numbers? Are we to wait quiety until the armies of invasion are again upon us? That is what our enemies propose to accomplish. Charles ton Mercury. Bullet-Marino Machine. A new bullet-makine M.i.1.: . 1 . . m . D v.uuio was inca in aan Antonia, xeiag, recently, .

OUR' STATE THE COMING WINTER. It is the duty of every citizen in the present con iition f oor old State-by every means which " God td naturer" have put into his hnnds, to protect and defend her soil from the pollution of a vile and reck less enemy. The late proclamation of the Yankee President is utterly reckless and abandoned in its . -character.'. If we are supposed to cmitemplate and re held responsible for the jiecessary tendency of ttfceir actions, this measure must be regard 3d .as i that ot a head. Already in inose piuu. and Virginia, which have been overrun and pos Kssed by She enemy, scenes of atrocity and violence daily occur which arc only paralleled by those of 1st. Dorainjro when overcome by the insurgent negroes durkiE the French revolution. All idea of restoring tho Union as it is called must have long since been banished from the mind of every sane man. The landy. heretofore the abode of peace and happiness, where the master and slave lived. in content the. slave protected, provided for in health and sickness, , and regarding his master with gratitude and confi dence, is now moistened by the blood of her bravo bots. and echoes with the waitings of bereaved mothers. For what is this war now prosecuted ? For what, but to wreak vengeance upon the South and to excite a 'servile iasurrection ? Forewarned, we should be forearmed. The ene my are sounding the note of preparation, and our coasts and' rivers and creeks are to be visited this winter by gun-boats and every other mode of war fare that may be deemed available fof their fell pur poses. The deluded slaves will be one of their prin cipal objects, and all kinds 6f provisions will be seiaed and destroyed. It becomes our farmers to be active in removing these from, their grasp. Em ployment may be found for the slaves on the Rail roads or other works now constructing or in ope ration. The crop which is now maturing and nearly ma tared nrtg'at be fed to the hogs, and they driven into the interior and killed It is very apparent, upon a Iktle reflection, that as the enemy advances, the inegrocs will either be taken by them, or they wiil be brought into the interior. , Unless the plan 'sug gested or some other better be adopted, it may be uisked with anxious apprehension, how are these negroes to be fed f And, indeed, the apprehension may extend further, and embrace the whole pop ulation. ' When in addition to these reflections we consider the defenceless state of our coast, and the Eastern and North eastern part of our State, the bosom of the patriot may welt heave with anxiety. We are happy to learn that our excellent and patriotic Gov ernor is alive to this state of things, and will do all in his power to remedy iL Thousands of our bravest and best are lighting the battles of the Con federacy, while their homes and family altars are left unprotected and exposed to a barbarous foe. 'This may be all right and proper, and we presume not to question its necessity but certainly some -schemfe might be devised to restrain and banish the brigands who roim with impunity over our j filia tions, and burn and destroy at will. In aid ot any relief bV the government, it would be euiinenilv -proper ir the several counties to establish a vigi lant and active military police for ferreting out and ! promptly punishing any insubordination on the part I -of the slaves, and while this is done, care should bo j taken to discriminate between the faithful slave and j those who avail themselves of the first opportunity ! -f gning to the enemy and betraying their masters, j Justice and good policy alike require this course vf ; conduct. I have thrown together these ideas with I the hope that they may excite vigilance and prevent ' disaster to many of our fellow-citizens. I A NORTH-CAROLINIAN. For tbe Standard. YELLOW' JAUNDICE. Ma. Editok: For as ftiuch as this disease is pro Tailing in some sections almost epidemically, and maintains its stubborn and intractable character, in very many prevalent cases, I desire to point inva lids to a source of relief, which in some instances of "very recent occurrence proved signal and immedi ate. Agreeably to the received pathology of Yel low Jaundice, it is owing to a biliary calculus im parted in the "common biliary duct," obstructing the transmission of bile from the liver to the stom ach ; hence, it is absorbed and thrown into every structure of the system ; the universal remedy is mercurials. With due deference to the medical faculty, I beg leave to question the wisdom of this treatment. The liver is sufficiently active; this fict is declared by the presence of bile in the eyes, skin and every where. Nothing cn aflord relief until the granule is dissolved or in some way re moved from the biliary duct; hence, the tardiness of cure in every instance. I had been suffering for some weeks with this disease; my eyes and skin ; were deeply tinged; the secretions from the kid neys were nearly blood red; those from the bowels were correspondingly White. On Tuesday" of last week I visited Kittrell's Springs, in Granville coun- I ty, simply as an experiment. On Wednesday, I I made but little use of the water. On Thursday, I began in good earnest, drinking 10 or. 12 glasses per diem. On Saturday, I had the gratifying surprise of finding myself cured ; my secretions had become perfectly healthy, and 1 could with safety have left on the next day Iftit on that day I had appointed services in the E. Chapel, and preached with my usual strength and health. 1 remained until the ensuing Tuesday. This result was obtained from the free use of the watea for three days only. On Friday, I saw a man living in the neighborhood, ho was laboring under an obstinate attack of this mscase. r nun the report maue oy mc, oi me ien- cm ocriveu oy mjsen, in similar condition, iroat the free use of the water of Kittrell's Springs, he was induced to make trial in his own case. On Tuesday I was informed that he was cured. lam unable to explain the curative process. I am satis fied the analysis given was not properly made. There are powerful elements present which have not been discovered. It has achieved signal cures in dropsy, scrofula, 4a There is a young man now at the Springs from Alabama who came there aliout two mouths since, wasted to a mere skeleton from scrofula. He had "been pronounced by physicians past recovery. He is now so far recovered as to be able to walk five or six miles daily without serious fatigue. There can be but little doubt of a final. perfect cure. There have been perfect cures of" chronic dropsy, thiit have baffled the power of med- icine. Its virtues have been so frequently tested by dyspeptics, and patients suffering with chronic dis- ease of the liver, bowels and kidneys, that your i ai"ply, the season just enr.ng.

The correspondent of the Charleston Courier, writing from Sbarpsburg battle field, relates the following incident : One of the most affecting incidents that I wit nessed yesterday, was while standing over a dying Georgian, a young roan not more than twenty-six years of age, named John S. Hudson, from Elbert county. His left leg had been torn off above the knee, and though he knew his case was hopeless, a brother had brought him from the field, that his last hours might be spent in peace, away from the noise- and broiln of battle. The brother was ten-' derly kneeling over him, smoothing his brown, curly hair, perhaps as he used to do when they were' children together, and the blue eyes bf the dying man were fastened, upon his, as if he would speak volumes of adieus to the dear ones at home. It was not without difficulty that he finally spoke, and these were his last words: " Brother tell moth. er that I die rejoicing, and die-a soldier's aeatn. xnen, laying one hand in that of bis broth er and tbe other across his breast, he waited the summons of the Holy Spirit They came slowly but 6h, how surely did the death shadows leave their .mark upon that palid face, until at last the eye fixed, the chest heaved its parting sigh, and the soul of the young hero returned to the God who ; gave it. Heaven grant that, that mother may find 1 her consolation in the Christian messago of her no t bleboy. . -'. ' . ' For the Standard. ' WRianTsviLLE Sound, near Wilmington, ) October 12, 1862: (. Mb, Editor : The leaves have began to fall, and in a short time (God grant it) the air will grow raw and frosty. We delight in bestowing praise upon the few who had resolved to remain in Wilmington nd attend to the sick, but when we bear daily of their death, 'tis too sad even to mention Ihein. They have surely died as patriots not as those fighting the battles of their country, with gun, pow der and steel, but as 'Sisters of Mefcy," fighting death itself fighting an epidemic more to be dread ed than all the civil wars that have ever been fought. To day, we miist add to the list, Mr. J. J. Lippitt, who died on Wrightsville S iund, of yellow fever, ' contracted in Wilmington a good and brave man, and an accomplished gentleman. On yesterday was announced the death of Dr. Hooper, of same disease. 'Tis hard, indeed, to chronicle the death of so many who but a few short days ago were ii the bloom of health. It seems as if we have nothing new but communications of mortality. We see the sun rise to bring forth only some more solemn tidings to send sorrow to the "heart of some loving mother or affectionate kindred to fold some already weeping heart in the darkness of almost despair ; and, so another, and another passeth away--the good, the generous, the loved ones. In times like these, we can only trust in Him who alone can give balm to hearts that are sorely lacerated by His wise dispen sation, bidding them " Be still, and know that I am God.' We are still down by 'the sea, among the salt works " biling" occasionally riding, boating, fish ing, talking, apd not so very little of the walking, for 'tis terrible " getting over sand ;" and, as, we sit with half-closed eyes, reading the Raleigh Standard, they Are suddenly opened by' seeing salt quoted at $20 isn't it awful t (Very humiliating to salt makers.) Twelve or fourteen negroes successfully made their escape from Wrightsville, a few nights since, to the Blockadcrs. One, not being able to get fur ther than the banks, in attempting to swim back across the bank's channel, was drowned. All the negroes around were called up, and made to take a look before he was buried. From the " long faces" I scarcely think another attempt will be made soon. The drowned' one was the property of Lieut Bow den, of "Bunting's Horse Artille'ry.'i , The Standard and Wil. Journal are the only pa pers to be had on the Sound, the news dealers in town having stopped for the present the Richmond papers. The two are extensively circulated here. WORRELL. The Currency Question The Disease and Kcincdy. The expenditures of our Government do not fall short of a million ot dollars a day. The vast amount, or the greater part of it, is so much added to the currency of the country in the form of Treasury notes. The Government, unable to borrow money, uses its credit in this form. Now, it is a well known axiom in political economy that only a definite amount of the circulating medium is required to carry on the excutnges of a country. If this sup ply i inereiised its price j'llh, and more of it will be gicen for the same article, that is to say, the price of xr-n thing ehe rties. This would be the case even if gold and silver were the medium, as was proved after the discovery of thymines of South America. This is the great evil under which we are now laboring, and it will require all the sagacity of our wisest statesmen to extricate us from it The most obvious remedy is to absorb a part of this currency into intci est bearing bonds. To do this, all that is necessary is to satisfy the public of the Ultimate redemption of these bonds. That be ing established, there is no better investment in tho known wr.i ld. The fact that only forty-one millions of these bonds have been taken, shows a want of confidence. There is no ground whatever for this distrust. We export annually of our surplus pro ductions about three hundred millions. Is there any other country which possesses a better basis of credit ? Mobile Register. The following is an extract from the correspon dent of the Columbia (S. C.) Guardian: "One incident of the battle at Sharpsburg, related to mo bya participant, and I will closs. It seems that a lata number of men from different regiments were congrcguted in a ravine behind a"hill over which the Yankees were. And was not defended by any other, troops. A general olScer rode up to these stragglers just as he discovered they were going t engage the enemy and attempted to resume oin tnand of them. But they heeded him not, and not withstanding the earnestness of manner and the fact of his being a general, they continued to advance, and reaching tho brow of the aforesaid hill, opened a deadly tiro upon the Y'ankees. Our general see ing the unusual spectacle of men 'going into battle without orders, turned to them anil shouted, "go it, then, d n you, you are ejery one officers !" and rode hastily off to another part of the field. Still they did not observe him, and continued to fight un til the Yankee column was completely routed! This evidence of the fighting qualities of some men is remarkable, for it is generally conceded that where men once straggle from their legitimate commands, there is little prospect of their going into battle again that day. By the way, A wag has remarked upon this incident, that the stragglers would not have fought so hard only that they were defending a fine apple orchard!" The prstiskd cossort. There then remains on ly one more candidate to complete the list of the sacred seven princesses." This last royal lady is one whom rumor points out as the destined consort of our future King, Princess Alexandria, of Denmark. Her Royal Highness was born December 1st, 1S44, and is the second child and eldest daughter of Prince Christian of Schleswig-Holstein, heir expectant to the throne of Denmark, and of Princess Louise of Hcssc-Cassel. She is described as very accomplish ed, as well as gifted with no inconsiderable share of physical beauty, standing second only in the latter respect to the far-famed Princess of Hohenzollern Siginaringen. The union seems desirable in all re spects, except the one that Prince Christian is as deeply involved in the Schlewig;Holstein-maze as his elder brother Frederick. He has shown, how ever, either more wisdom or more ambition by ta king the Danish side, andasa recompense was elected in 1853 to be the successor of King Frederick VII. Tho friends of Prince Christian assert that he is aiming at something far higher than even the throne of Denmark, and that it is not unlikely he wilj one day bear on his brow the triple crown of a new em pire of Scandinavia. . But theso are matters not needed to recommend fair Princess Aloxandris to the notice of the British public, thouglthe rumor of her section as the bride of the Prince of Wales ha8 already put the diplo macy of one half of Europe in movement created immense excitement at Berlin and St Petersburg, and caused a panic among tho Jews at Hamburg, who have been speculating in Schleswig-Holstein scrip. Here we only ask that our future Queen should be a Protestant, her husband's ewn frSe choice, and not entangled with burdensome political obligations and all these recommendations, with beauty superadded, seem to meet in the Princess. English paper. Right. The Legislature of Virginia has passed a bill compelling the Railroads terminating in the, cities of Richmond and Petersburg, to transport wood to said cities. The Legislature of North Car olina ought to pass a similar1 bill for the relief of town's in this State. There are always a'large num ber of almost destitute families in every town in the State,. and there is consequently a good deal of suf fering for wood in the winter moflths ; and this winter, considering the high prices, we fearj there will be more suffering than usual.
