MEMENTO MORI.
THE subscriber, agent for John Ivor McMillan, takes this
method of saying to his friends and the public generally,
that he has returned from the northern Quarries With the
largest and best selected stock of AMERICAN MARBLE
that has ever been shipped to North Carolina. He has also
a full supply of EGYPTIAN AND ITALIAN MARBLES,
all of which he is prepared to furnish in tho best style, for
any purposes, such as Monuments, Tombs, Head and Foot
Stones, or Furniture, Mantle Pieces, &c. In short, any
kind of Marble Work will be furnished as low, and of as
good material as can be had at any shop in the United States.
From his long experience in the business, and his having
some cf the very best Carvers and Letterers in his employ, he
hopes to have a fair share ef the patronage of the Old North
State sent to him, in place of sending it North ; and he
pledges himself that every piece of work shall give, both in
workmanship and priee, satisfaction." Orders by maiil will be
punctually attended to and all instructions obeyed.

LIPPITT'S SPECIFIC,
For the Cure of Dysentery. Diarrhoea, and Summtr Com'
plaint.
In presenting this justly celebrated Medicine to the pub
lic, we make no rash assertions of its efficacy, nor is any
hope held out to the afflicted whicn facts do not warrant.
This remedy having been, for years, used in thus place,
for the cure of the above diseases and those appertaining to
the same class, the Proprietor has been induced to offer it on
a more extensive scale, with a view to lessen the amount of
human suffering. I have never known it to fail when the di
rections have been strictly adhered to.
Many useless nostrums have been palmed upon the public,
and I hesitated for some time, until thorougly convinced of
its efficacy.

Baltimore, January 10th, 1851.
Wm. H. LirpiTT, Esq., Dear Sir: I have no hesitation
iu saying that your Specific is one of the best Medicines ex-
tant for Dysentery, Diarrhwa, -c. You possibly may re-
collect my case ; if it has escaped your memory I will give
you briefly the facts. I had tried every thing that I had
seen used, but with little success. And after using enough
to start twenty-five Homeopathic M. D's., I began to despair,
when you kindly offered me your invaluable Medicine, which
cured me effectually. Yours truly,
fc. J. CAKROLL.

wonderful effects of your Medicine-for curing Diarrhoea or
Bowel complaint, as I am satisfied it was the means, under
God, of saving the life, first of my Child and then of my
Brother. As my Brother was given up by two of the most
eminent Physicians in this place, Drs. Richardson and Wregg,

The Lost PutU.
BY THOMAS DAVIS, THE lRISil POET. '
Sweet thoughts, bright drctttns, lay comfort be,
. All comfort else has flown ; . ; ' . ; .
For every hope Was. false to me,
And here 1 a hi, alone
What thoughts were mine ia early youth ! .
Like some old Irish song.
Brimful of love, of life, andHruth,
My spirit guished along. (
I hoped to right my native islcj
I hoped a soldier's fame, ,
I hoped to rest in woman's smite;
And win a minstrel's name.
Oh ! little have I served my landi
No laurels press my brow. -I
have no woman's heart or hand, . .
Nor minstrel honors now.
But fancy has a mag'c power,
It brings no wreath nor crown,'
BHt woman's lovo, the self-same hour, ,j.
It smites oppression down
Sweet thoughts bright dreams, my comfort be, '
I have no joy beside ; ..; ,
Oh ! throng around, and be io me
Power, country, fame, and bride.'
. From the Cbiiiuievciul.

The Report of the President and Directors wa.i
read, and referred to the Committee of Ways and
Means.
The meeting adjourned to meet to-rnorrow morn
ing at 7 o'clock.
July 24, 1352.
Col. John MacRac made a Report from the com-
mitted of Ways arid Means, as follows :
The Committee appointed to devise ways and nienns t
meet the' present liabilities of the Company, and the contin
uation of the work, would respectfully recommend that ilie
Directors be authorized and instructed to borrow, for the im
mediate use of said Company, tho sum of thirty thousand
dollars; aiui to secure said Directors against loss, the Stock
holders enter into bonds, binding themselves in a sum nut,
exceeding fifty per cent, of the Stock uow held by thcin.
We further recommend that all the day laborers now in
the employ of the said Company, be discharged, and thai,
the hands hired bv the year bo put ou the lower works, an l
be continued there until completed.
We also recommend tlnit all the other expenses of tho
Cou pany shall be redui. d in proportion to the force cm
ployed. With regard to the balance of the outstanding debts of
the Company, not otherwise provided fur, and to provide
funds for completing the work, we concur with the recom
mendations contained in tbe Report of tho President and
Directors and recommend that a Committee be appointed
by ttus Convention to' memorialise the I.rgisl.-itnrc p ttio
subj'.ut cf further aid for the accomplishment of tbj3.wjrk,
which in their wisdom liiny seem proper.
The report wai Ordered to lies on the table.
A part of this Report was rendered inoperative,
from the fact thai there' is an implied contract with
the Company's hands riot to go below a certain
point on the River. '
The Committee on the Engineer's Report asked to
be discharged, being unable to throw any other
light on the subject than what is contained in the
Report itself. They were discharged.
Maj. J. W. Scott, from the committee on finance
and Treasurer's Report, made a-report declaring the
Treasurer's account correct. Tho following results
were embraced in the Repoft :
Receipts' for the year past, from Stockholders
