Wilson, must possef a peculiar interest for the peo ple of North Carolina, we lay before our rea ders the following note Irom an esteemed friend at Tarborough, accompanied by a letter from Dr. McFarlane, Surgeon of the Army, to Col. Wilson, Governor of Vera Cruz, in which a statement is made of ,s all the particulars of his sickness" down to the period of his death. Our friend at Tarborough writes as follows : " Tarborough, (Elgecombe,) 7 " November 4, 1847.

S. ship American, lying near the Castle of San Juan De Ulloa. 44 During the day he was constantly and asid uousy engaged, frequently with great expo sure, in expediting the departure of the train under his command. 4'0n the night of the 5th of August, after eveiy arrangement had been completed for the departure of the Train, he was attacked with the Yellow Fever at midnight, he being then on board the ship American, above alluded to 44 I was not apprised of his illness until ; m rvr n i n or vvliAn I liQctonn 011 KAanl tKo cViiti i 1 J 1 1 J 1 1 .

Wilson, were remo ved at my suggestion, by the Colonel Com man lant to the Palace, and were deposited in a zinc coffin enclosed in one of mahogany, and interred with military honors in a vault of the Cementry, where they can at any moment be removed by the desire of his friends, though I would recommend that it be postponed for a month from this period. 44 The above comprises all that T can reca pitulate in relation to the last illness of Col.

Will it be believed that any editor was capable of making the follow ing comments upon it? 44 Cut Throat Piety.

It pronounces the author of these sentiments as 41 absolutely be neath the honest inlignatiort of men who love their country, and feel as patriots should, in relation to our triumphs in Mexico."

Pray don't answer rashly ; dont loose your self among 44 Yankees in Coal Screens." 4 Yankees in Hot Baths,' 4 Yankees in Resto rateurs,' and answer unadvisedly yes ! Mine is a Yankee in a new phase. His dilemma is a Yankee Fix 4sui generis,' a live Yankee in the card room of a cotton mill ! 4 The plain unvarnished facts in the case,' as politicians says, 4 are these :' a raw, straw- hatted, sandy-wniskered six footer one of . the purely uninitiative came in yesterday j from Greece, with a load of wood for the Fac I tory Company. Having piled his wood to the I satisfaction of the 4 Squire,' he bated his team ' bands' were going in from dinner. The girls j were nurrying in as onlv tactory girls can ed to threshing machines and corn sheller? he began to push vigorous inquiries in all di rections. In this way he made himself ac quainted successively, with the external and internal economy . of the 4 Picker,' 4 Beater,' 4 Lap winder,' 4 Doiibler,' and 4 Speeder.' By two o'clock he had extended his researches as far as the 4 Breakers' and ' Finishers.' He reached the latter just as the card-stripper was 4 stripping his flats. In this opera tion the cylinder of the card is exposed to view, and is seen revolving with a pretty buzz. Not satisfied with contemplating the 4 poetry of motion' at a safe distance, our hero must needs introduce himself between the car 's to get a nearer view This move brought his neither habiliments in dangerous proximity to tne f?ea"nK ot the next card, and 'thereby helOfiTS fl tile r. 4 You, I say She goes pooty, don't she, Bos?' said Jonathan, enquiringly. 4 She don't do any thing else," responded the stripper. ' But you must be very careful how you move around amongst this hardware 'Twas only last week, Sir, that a promising young man from Oxford a student at the Academy here was diawn into that very card, Sir, and be fore any assistance could reach him, he was run through, and manufactured into No. 16, supr extra, cotton warp yarn.' 4 I s s wow ! I believe youer joking !' stuttered Jonathan. 4 Fact. Sir,' continued Stripper, 4 and his disconsolate mother came down two days ago, nnd got five bunches of that same yarn, as melancholy relics ' 4 By the mighty ! That can't be true !' 4 Fact. Sir, fact ! and each of his fellow stu dents purchased a skein apiece, to be set in lockets, an.l wore in remembrance of departed worth !' 4 Is that a fart, now ! was he really carded, spun, and s t in lockets ?' A sense of per sonal danger here shooted across our hero's mind ; he began to retreat precipitately with out waiting for an answer. There was not much room to spare betwixt himself and the gearing of the carJ behind. Another step backwards completed the cere mony of introduction His unwhisperables being of large 4 calibre,' the process of snarl ing them up into a haid knot was no ways slow. Our hero 4 gave tongue' instanter, and by the twentieth gyration of the embodiment, the music was melolious. His 'explosive tones,' were scientific, and did honor to his knowledge of dynamics. Gen. Scott himself could not have proteste 1 more forcibly a gainst an 4 attack on his rear.' 4 () h ! M order!! Let iro! you h-u-r-t Blast your picker let go! Ain't ye ashamed? Git out. Taint pooty. Darnation seize ye ! Let alone on me, can't ye do!' The gearing had by this time wound him up, so that he was obliged to stand on tip oe. His hands were revolving vigorously behind him, but he dared not venture them near the 4 seat of war,' lest they should be drawn into hostilities.

WHOLE NO. 166. From the Philadelphia Evening Bulletin DYED IN THE WOOL. by John jones, jr. An acute disciple of Blackstone, in one of our Atlantic cities that shall be nameless, had, by a course of active pettifogging, succeeded in filling his pockets. Full pockets enabled him to assume an imposing style of living, and the reputation of having gotten rich by practice at the bar, very naturally inert ased the number of his clients, and swelled the a- mount of his fees. S soon stood A Number One" amone his legal brethren. If any one had a pretty hard case for litiga tion, S was his man ; for it any ho ly could gain it for him, he could. He not only understood all the quirks and turns in the law, hut waa fertile in original expedients. The goodness or badness of a cause was nothing to him : his business was to gain it for his cli ent by any means he could use, fair or foul. At the age of forty-five, from some cause or other not clearly ascertained, S became religiously disposed, and joined the church. An influential man like him was not long suf fered to remain inactive in the seculiarities of the church. At the first fitting opportunity he was made a vestryman. S had alwavs been looked unon in the community as a 44 pretty hard case," and the 0 M icpuiauuii iv iiu melius uciieu uic num. i ue gaining of one like him over to the cause of religion, was, therefore, a source of no little congratulation to those who regarded things spiritual and pious and was looked upon as quite a triumph over the enemy ol souls. There were nome, however, who shrugged their shoulders, and professed to have just a bout as much confidence in him now as ever they had, and to regard his religion, to use one of their elegant expressions, as 44 ail in my eye." Matters professional went on pretty much in the old way. Religion, in the eyes of S , was too sacred a thing to bring down into the world, where it must suffer violence, and be, in consequence, brought into disrepute. He, therefore, kept his religion nicely laid up in lavender, for Sunday, when it was Lro't forth unspotted from the woild. About two years after S joined the church, it was thought by those who had af fairs in charge, that they ought to have a new and more imposing edifice than the one they worshipped in, which was, to say the truth, rather an ancient affair, and by no means Mich as the wealth of the congregation entitled them to have. S was prominent in the manner in fact, he was the prime mover, and headed thp subscription list with a thousand dollars In due time the church was finished, and an elegant edifice it was. When the building was projected and plans called for, sixty thou sand dollars was to be the maximum cost. But the building commutee and the architect managed to run the cost up toa hundred thou sand dollars, and the church in debt about seventy thousand. This caused all ebneerned to feel, a miiiht be supposed, rather serious on the subject A debt of seventy thousand dollars was rather a serious affair, viewed in i . i The first thing to be done was io have a sale I of the pews. This proceeded rather slowly, and the prices at which they sold were by no means as large as had been anticipated. From this source only twenty thousand dollars came. An extra subscription was then tried, but only ten thousand dollars could be raised. In this aspect of affairs, S , who was chairman of the building committee, and to whom was mainly chargeable the excess of cost over the first estimate made for the church, feit called upon to devise some means of liqui dating the heavy debt 44 It could be done easily enough, if those who are able would come forward and buy pews at fair prices instead of renting them," he said to a fellow vestryman. It was freely admitted that this would cer tainly change the aspect of affairs But, if members preferred renting to buying, nothing could be done 44 They ought to be made to buy," said S , warmly. 44 There is Preston, worth thirty or forty thousand dollars at least, who, instead of paying a cctiple of thousand dollars for the pew his family occupies, is very well content to get it at a yearly n-nt of a hundred dollars! It is too ha I ! I would not give much for his interest in religion, if he has no better way of showing it." 44 He certainly ought to buy," was unhesi tatingly replied. 44 He shall buy !'' said S , snapping his fingers, as a sudden thought struck him. 44 Do vou think you can make him ?"' 44 Yes." 44 How ? What means will you ue ?" 44 Never mind about that. But, mark my words for it, next Sunday Preston will be the owner instead of the mere tenant of his pew." 44 I hope so." 44 You shah not hope in vain." The lawyer went to his office and sat down to think. After about half an hour's cogita tion, he said, aloud, 44 Yes, he's the man." And immediately writing a note, despatch ed it by his office messenger. In twenty min utes a well dressed man entered, and bowed to the lawyer with a respectful, or rather de ferential, air. 44 Take a chair, Jones I want to talk to you." said S . The man seate 1 himself. 44 You know we've managed to get confoun dedly in debt with our new church " 44 Yes ; eo it seems," was the assenting re ply. 44 And somehow or other we must manage to get out of debt." 44 If we can." Weil, I think we can, if the thing is done :i,i.. I believe I have hit upon the mode." ah Well, you are lortunate. Nobody else could have done it." So I flatter myself. But mv trade makes me a little sharper than common people, you know. There are too many pews rented. Il all who are able to buy would purchase in stead of renting, the debt would be paid off in a week." 44 No doubt of that." 44 Very well. That is admitted. Now my plan is to make them buy." 44 If you can ' 44 And I can, with a good fellow like yon to aid me. And I think your affection for the church is strong enough io induce you to lend a willing hand to the work. Debt is a terrible thing.' "Indeed it is ! But how can I aid .r' 4 Are you willing H Oh, certainly." "Very well. Then, without any body's knowing what we are about, or suspecting a-:y concert between U9, we ca.i make some forty or fifty pew renters become purchasers, an 1 thus pay the whole debt." 44 How i How ? I a"1 curious to know that ?" 44 Very well, I will inform you. There is Preston to begin with. His pew is a very eligible one, and if he g'.vesit up he can't pos sibly get ano her without going far down the aisle ; for every good jew in the church is ei ther rented or sold. Now his pew is worth at least two thousand dollars." Term for Advertising. sacAR or nxTKir uin or less.

Htf is able enough." So I think. Very well. Now I will piace two thousand dollars in your hands, and do you go to the treasurer who has charge of the matter, and offer to buy the pew, saying that you are ready to pay that price down for it, cash He will, of course, tell yon that he must see Preston first, and give him the option of buying it. And Preston, rather than let you have the pew, will buy. D'ye see .'" " Capital. It's the very thing !" 44 Isn't it r 44 If you aint a lawyer, dyed in the wool, !hcre'? "0 mistake," said the man, leaning back in his chair, and giving vent to a hearty burst ot laughter. 44 1 consider myself hard to heat in anv thing," returned S . But will you join me in the matter ?' "Certainly, I'm ready to serve the church in any way tbat a humble individual like me can do it." On the next Sabbath, Preston sat in his own pew sure enough ; and the treasury of the church was in a better condition by" just the sum of two thousand dollars. S was de lighted at the success of his scheme, and tried it on two other pew renters, who were entire strangers to each other, during the week, and wnn tne desired result. Jones got some pri vate abuse for his part of the business, and was told that he had better pay his honest debts before he undertook to buy a high pri ced pew; but he put it all quietly in his pock et and went ahead. 44 You are determined to have somebody's pew, I see," remarked the treasurer, when Jones appeared the fourth time. " I wish a good pew, and am willing to pay a good price for it," he replied. 44 1 don't cov et any body's pew. But I believe no one has a right to the property he merely rents." 44 Oh, no. You have a right to purchase any unsold pew in the church." 44 So I supposed.'' But Jones didn't get the pew for which ho" had offered a liberal price. The occupant pre ferred the alternative of buying to being turn ed out. And thus the thing went quietly on.no one suspecting the agency at work, until pews enough were actually sold to pay off the fifty thousan l dollars debt that had remained after the first sale of pews and subsequent extra subscription. 44 Didn't t tell you that I would make Pres ton buy his pew .'" said S to the vestry man to whom he had first hinted his intention of putting some unknown scheme into opera tion. 44 Yes But who made thirty or forty others buy pews ? Preston's case is only a drop in the" bucket." 44 1 did." 44 You ?" 44 Certainly I did. The church owes me a service of plate for paying off its debt, and I believe I will claim it." 44 And you are entitled to it, if the thing has been done fairly." 44 You shall judge of that 3ourself." Ann .s nnaa nnrinm; it niMt rtsi wrong were lounueu upon rawer ex raordina- ry models, related the trick he had played up on the pew renters, and ended by saying, 44 Now wasn't that capital ?" 44 I believe what people say of you is cor rect," returned the vestryman, with unexpec ted sobriety. 44 And what is that, pray ?" 44 Why, that you are a lawyer dyed in the wool, and proof against all spiritual bieaching salts. Good morning !" S was profoundly astonished for the moment. But he shrugged his shoulders and muttered to himself 44 Nettled, because his dull brains were not bright enough for such a scheme." That there was some stir in the church when it became known what work the lawyer had been engaged in, may well be supposed. Some were angry, some laughed at the trick, but all were more or less satisfied with being out of debt. The reputation of S as a professional man did not suffer; though we be lieve, on the score of his piety, there were some doubts entertained in the minds of a few, who considered him a lawyer dyed in the woo!, and therefore a hopeless case. Mormonism A Good Story. William Smith, the surviving brother of Jo, has pub lished a manifesto, in which he condemns Strang -another Mormon leader, as an impos tor (.') and announces his separation from him In reference to the jar between these champi ons of religion and truth, the Ottawa Free Trader tells the following story : 44 It appears that the prophet Strang needed a new house, and he determined that his fol lowers should build il tor him. So he called them together, and told them that in conside ration that Ihey would erect the house, the Lord had authorized him to promise them an extraordinary endowment. The building was soon completed, and now they apply for their reward. All the Saints are gathered together in the church, the prophet takes them through a variety of ceremonies, such as head wash ing, feet Washing, &c, and conclude by an nointing the heads of all with a composition 4 that had a queer smell.' They are then di rected to adjourn to another" room that was to tally dark, where they were to receive the en dowment, which was to be in the shape of an extraordinary and visible manifestation of ihe spirit, rendering them at once impregnable thenceforth to the shafts of Satan. Arrived in the dark room, sure enough, the heads of all shone as if lit up by the brightness of the sun, and great was the rejoicing! of the Saints thereat. But the prophet William, who was present, although daggered a little, mistrusted that 4 ail waA not gold that glittered," so he took some ointment. and submitted it to an ex amination, and Io the discovery ! He fonnd thaf it was a mixture of oU and phosphorus, a t i hen'-e the whole illuminating operation w;i a gross cheat ! He took the first op or tufl'ty to accuse prophet Strang publicly, and before the congregation, of the imposition, who so far from denying it. coolly acknowl elged the corn, and then preached a sermon, justifying the act and maintaining that all the miracles of Christ, Moses, &c, were wrought in the same way that is, by natural means. Of course, William ajuld no longer hold fel' lowsbip with such a man. High Prices. The Kingston (Canada) Chronicle says, an old settler in that neigh borhood states that in 1790 his father paid $48 for a bushel of corn to plant, it being a year of almost famine m that vicinity. The Detroit Free Press, copying the above., adds : A e, too, can say a won! about high prices A cargo of flour arrived here in 181$, from trie, at $6 per barrel for freight. In 1816 flour was sold here at 925 a barrel, and early in the spring of 1818, it was retailed tbe 20 pounds at the rate of $50 the barrel, and corn at $8 the bu,hel. 7 7 ... . & Inland Navy The new Governor of Ten nessee, Neil S.
