JOsSr Mr G. S. Rollins, at Terebinth, will
please accept our thanks for procuring a list of
ten subscribers to the Carolinian, payment for
which has been received. , v
Mr D. G. Smith has our thanks for five
new subscribers, payment for which is hereby
acknowledged.
JS We learn that Hon. Ij. Bethune and P.
M. Powell, Esq., have been appointed by Gov.
lirag-g as Directors on the port of the State in
the Fayettcville and Albermarle Plank lload
Company.
Col. David Gillis and lion. L. lietliune will
hold Ihe State's proxy in the annual meeting

on the part of our Town authorities to prevent
disease. We notice lime spread about the
streets, and a general cleaning up commenced.

,,.Ca'jmag&3. The other day, wc spent. a few
TYumues m A.. A "McKetban's extensive Car-
riage Repository and saw some of his excellent
riding vehicles. Here a man can be accom
modated with any style and at prices ranging
from one hundred dollars to seven hundred and
fifty dollars all finished in a superior manner.
Those wI.o want something really nice to ride
in ought to examine Mr McKethan's large
assortment and we arc sure they can be suited,
both in price and quality. These carriages are
finer and more durable than those made North,
and we venture the assertion that they cannot
be surpassed anywhere in the United States.
If anybody doubts this, wc ask them to go
mid examine the work. Southern people ought
to encourage Southern manufacturers, especial
Iv when thev cau be so well suited.

A New Qi estiox. A writer in the Wil
mington Herald raises a rather novel question
with regard to the eligibility of Mr Winslow to
a seat in Congress. The following is the
article:
" Is he Eligible ? Is Warren Winslow
eligible to a seat in the House of Representa
tives of the United States ?
The Constitution of North Carolina (Art. 4,
Sec. 4, amended Constitution,) reads thus: No
person who shall hold any office or J'i.ace of
trust or profit under the United States, or (ivy
department thereof, or under this State, or any
other State or Government, shall hold or exer
cise iinv other office or place of trust or profit,
under the authority of this State, or be eligible
to a scat in either house of the General As-j
semblv.
Now it is certain, that a Representative in
the Congress of the United States from North
Carolina holds a "place" both of trust and pro
lit, cither under the United States, or under
this State, therefore cannot at the same time
be a member of the General Assembly.
Mr Winslow is a member of tiie General
Assembly, which post he can, I suppose, resign
into the hands of the Governor, but he is more
over, Spenker of the Senate, a position lie can
not, I take it, resign, except to the Senate it
self, and that bodv not being in session, nor
likely to be before Congress meets, he must of
necessity remain a member of the General As
sembly. Is ft right that he should, if he could, vacate
the office of Speaker of the Senate ? Suppose
the office of Governor becomes vacant, how
could a successor be found in the Speaker of
the Senate: and suppose further, that the

The Paris Academy ! of Science has lately
been investigating the flying machine- invented
by Don Diego de Salamanca. The machine
consists in a case two feet long and one foot
wide, adapted to a bandof leather round the
waist, buckled behind. The two iron rods,
fastened to the case, support a small piece of
wood on which the feet repose. The case con
tains a simple and ingenous mechanism, similar
to that employed to set an automaton. in motion.
The mechanism is worked by means of a handle,
which sets at work two large wings, ten feet
long, made up of very thin caoutchouc, covered

JCifg- Some idea of the distress and panic in
Portsmouth, caused by the yellow fever, may
be inferred from the following:
" The accounts from Portsmouth are truly of
a melancholy nature. The deaths number
some twelve per day, and the new cases yester
day were between twenty-five and thirty, not
withstanding at least four-fifths of the popula
tion have left the city.
A correspondent writes as follows;
Our town presents a gloomy and sombre as
pect. There is not a magistrate or constable
here; the Council is without a quorum; and
nearly all the town officers are gone. Two. of
the police officers are dead, and a third is now
sick. The stores and banks are closed the
market is deserted the private dwellings are
tenantless and all the hotels and. boarding
houses are shut up. All our citizens (except
those who- remain, from a sense of duty,) who
could, raise means to get off have left; There
were twelve deaths yesterday, and fFom 20 to
20 new cases of "Fever."

"Crcmbs ok comfort." The editor of the
Argus in his last issue is "astonished" that the
democrats should have the heart to jubilate
over their victory in this District, yet wc find
the sapient gentleman himself drawing comfort
from the " deliberate dictum " to be found in
another part of his paper, that after " such
another victory locofocoism will be flat of its
VtncU i" all tliia regiAi of tVie State." Yerily
the editor betrays that he is not aJtogethar un
familiar with the logic used by "Sir Hudibras"
upon a certain occasion when, after he had re
ceived a mauling which left him considerably
more than half dead, he reasoned thus:
If he who in the field is slain
Is in the brd of honor lain.
Then he who's beaten may he said
To lie in honor's truckle bed.
"American Orca-n-." The Washington Star
publishes the following as the names of those
who own the leading Know-nothing paper in
this country called the "American Organ";:
The Joint Slock Company. As it is, doubt
less, a matter of some interest to our fellow
citizens of Washington to know who are the
owners of the Organ, we have been at some
pains to obtain a correct list of those gentle
men. The stock is divided into thirty shares,
which are owned at this moment, or were owned
a, few days since, as follows:
Ulysses Ward, 2 shares; Vcspa sin Ellis, 4;
S. C. Busey, 2; Wm. M. Burwefl, 2; Hon.
Bayard Clark, (Know-nothing member elect to
Congress from New Y"ork,) 8; Wm Tucker (of

Because by its secrecy and mystery, its oaths

ty and duplicity, and to stifle the bold, open,
manly conduct and conversation which charac
terize the man of honor and the freeman. f
Because its tendency is to organize a band of
spies in every eommunit', to wa'tcli the conduct
and catch the words of the unsuspecting, to be
reported to their secret councils, and made the
foundation of political proscription and persjar

r The editor of the Argus complains that he tini
been reviled by certain persons in this community and
his name coupled -with the vilest epithets that malice
and detraction could invent," and very properly say
we care for none of these things." If the editor of
the Argus has been reviled and abused in this com
munity more than the editor of the Carolinian wd
pity him. Not only so, but threats of personal vio
lence, wc understand, have been indulged in towards,
us by more than one individual. The slander and
abuse we have treated with silent contempt and the
threats that were made never disturbed our equanimity'
in the least. Of course we held ourselves in readin
to- resent and chastise an unlawful atta,ek-r-duty
the law of self-preservation required' us to do this-
but we never apprehended great cause fov fear,'ibj
though frequently Warned. Words were spoken in the
heat of political excitement that were never inteiidt'd"
probably, to have much meaning. Be this oh" it may,;
certainly there are many individuals in the world wh'om
we do not expect to' praise ns, and as we hare an
