A Xoblc Dog.

The Express states that the dog Rolla, bejging
Mr. Adams, No. 66 Courtland street. Work.
on Sunday last, performed one of those herofleeds
of humanity for wh'nh the Newfoundland bed is
rcinaraoie. An interesting lmle boy, abit ten
years old, while playing near the water at Hoken,
lost Ins balance and fed in. The tide weeps
along the shore there with great rapidity, id the
little fellow in a few moments wasjearried aiarent

it seems could swim a little, but just as his'rength
was giving way, the dog, at a short distaie from
the spot, quick as thought dashed thrmmh i cmwd.
leaped in the water, and in a minute moribad the
boy by the collar, secure between his teth. To
bring him ashore, back to that particulr place,
however, was an impossibility, owing to thtforce of
the current, so that ihe only hope was to make a
point of land some distune, ahead, (betweei Jersey
city and Uoboken.) and for that nuartnr RU ctr.

the spectators, un went the noble animal bravely
buffeting the tide and careless ,f the shouts' of ap
plause, an in w nue Keeping tl bovs face out of
the water He reaciied the goat at length with bis
precious burden, safe and sound, but u little faint
and frightened; and no sooner hadbe laid him down
than the noble animal sunk exhaust on the -md
He was instantly surrounded by a numerous crowd
of people, who had been cje-witnesses cf the scene,
Tiejns with each other in -showing kindness to the
heroic animal that had thus risked his own lif" to
save the life of a helpless human being. Some idea
of the labor performed by the dog is had in the fact
that the entire distance be had to swim is said to be
not less than two miles .'
Consumption of Gold. I he following -.ri0U9
statistics relative to the consumption of gold were
stated in a Lecture lately delivered at the Geological
Society at London :
The entire amount of gold in circulation is said to
fte 48.000:000 ; of which the wear and waste is
stated to be per cent, annually, or $1.680,000.
The consumption of gold in arts and manufactures is
as follows:
In the United Kingdom 2.500.000
France. 1,000.000
Switzerland 450.000
Other parts of Europe 1.G00.000
United States 500,000
WHisxET'FfiS; Horses. The N".,Yw. Journal of
Commerce says that some of the horses employed on
the Harlem railroad may have been noticed aa hav
ing a peculiarly bard look,' and a few may be con
sidered as regularly installed into the fraternity of
' bruisers." It appears that during this warm
weather they are each in the habit of titking their
ldrap" of whiskey and Water, in order to better
qualify them for labor. This mixture is regarded as
an improvement on the usual beverage of horses in
its native state, and as protecting the animals from
the effects of the sun. Wait awhile, says the Jour
nal, and you shall know whether this opinion is cor
rect. For ourselves, we very much doubt its correctness.
6.050.000
In Birmingham alone there is a weekly consumption
of gold for chains only amounting to i.OOO oz The
weekly consumption for gold-leaf in London is 400
oz. in other places in Great Britain. 184 oz.
One of the potteries in Staffordshire consumes 3.
500 worth of gold annually in gilding ; and the whole
consumption for gilding porcelain in England is es
timated at about 8.500 ounces annually.
Singular Mope of Slitide. In Waldoborough,
Me., one day last week, a Mr. William Benner. tra
der, committed suicide in a novel way. Early in
the morning he repaired to his store and sat down
on his counter immediately over an open keg of gun
powder. Into this he threw a bunch of lighted
matches, and the instant result was an explosion
which. shattered the building to atoms. Mr. Ben
ner was taken from the ruins shockingly burnt and
mutilated, and lived only about four hours. At first
he said he knew nothing of the affair, but before his
death confessed that he did intend to kill himself.
Asking too Much. A youn couple were sitting
together in a romantic spot, with birds and flowers
about them, when the following dialogue ensued:
" My dear, if the sacrifice of my life would please
inee, jriauiy wouiu I lay it at thy teet."
" Oh, sir, you're too kind! But it just reminds me
that 1 wish you'd stop using tobacco."
" Can't think of it. It is a habit to which I am
-wedded."
"Very well, sir, since this is the way you lay down
your life for me. and as you are already wedded to to
bacco, I'll take sood care that you are never wedded
tojine, as it would he bigamy."
Guano. The Royal Agricultural Society of Eng

and of which an unlimited supply can be furnished to
the English farmer at a rate not exceeding .5 per ton.

think they are as much entitled to pay as the Aus

leave the Pope's purse rather empty.

The following amusing incident we copy from the
New Orleans Picayune. This is a strange world,
and many strange things happen in it.
A Tight Fix We read not long since in a St.
Louis paper an account of the perils and distresses
of a young man. who went one evening to see his
lady love at the witching hour of midnight. Tbe
place of meeting was the flat roof of the house next
to that where the young lady resided. She and her
sister came out, and the three sat down on the roof
to chat of subjects appurtenant to such rendezvous.
After a while the voice of the young lady's father
was heard in dangerous proximity to the group, and
all three started to- rise hastily and abandon the
spot. But they couldn't rise! Tbe roof was of as
phaltum, and as the day had been uncommonly
warm, that pitchy substance was rendered soft en
ough by the sun's rays to receive and retain any im
pression that might be made upon it. The young
man found his unmentionables fastened, or rather
stuck tight to the roof, and the young ladies dress
es were in a similar predicament. The matter re
sulted in the young man being obliged to crawl out of
ins pantaloons, and then jerking the ladies to their
feet by main force! We merely mention this inci
dent to observe with proper effect, that in 6uch a
case man' of our young bucks would find it difficult
to crawl out certain cant-uo-without-ables, which
shall be nameless, so easily as in the above case.

the service at no other time. '
Generosity. The Whigs have started a story
that Gen. Pierce gave a boy a cent to buy candy,
and are making themselves very merry about it.
Well, let them remember that their liberal-hearted
candidate refused to give even a cent to erect a
monument to the fame of Andrew Jackson. Then,

And out the gravy ran."
No Idle Time. Dr. Rush was, perhaps, one of
the most untiring students that ever lived. Two
young physicians were conversing in bis presence
once, one ot whom said " hen 1 finished my stud

'When you finished your studies !"' said tbe doc
tor, abruptly. '-Why you must be a happy man to
have finished so young. I do not expect to finish
mine while I live."
He was once asked bow he bad been able to col
lect suuh an immense amount of information and
facts as his publications and lectures contained.
4i I have been able to do it," replied he, by econo
mising my time as Mr. Wesley did. I have not
spent one hour in amusement for the last thirty
years."
And taking a small note-book from his pocket,
and showing it to me, he said : "I fill such a book as
this every week with such observations and thoughts
which occur to me, and facts collected in the rooms
of my patients : and all these are preserved and
used."
A Passing Thought. We believe the following
has been published in our columns once before, but
it will be;ir repetition :
" Rothschild is forced to content himself with the
same sky as the poor newspaper-writer, and the great
banker cannot order a private sunset, or add one ray
to the magnificence of night. The same air swells
all lungs. Each one possesses, really, only his own
thoughts and his own senses, soul and body these
are the property which a man owns All that is val
uable, is to be had for nothing, in this world. Ge
nius, beauty and love are not bought and sold. You
may buy a rich bracelet, but not a well-turned arm
to wear it a pearl necklace, but not a pretty throat
with which it shall vie. The richest hanker on earth
would vainly offer a fortune to be able to write a
verse like Byron. One comes into the world naked,
and goes out naked the difference in the fineness of
a bit oNinen lorfa shroud is not much. Man is a
handful of clay, which turns quickly back again into
dust."

The first bale of the products of this summer's

on the 25th July, and the year before on the 11th of

last year, owing to the drought which prevailed. Tbe
weather this season has been very propitious for a

From the Washington Union, August 10.
North Carolina Election. The Presidential Ques
tion at the South Settled.
By the statements of the whig journals of this
city, uf yesterday, and by the ; further intelligence
published in our telegraph column this morning, it
appears that the democrats have carried North Car
oltnaTjy a majority of about Jive thousand. .
We regard this overwhelming result as in all rea- !
sonable probability settling tbe fact that Gen. Scott
is not destined to receive a single electoral vote south
of Mason and Dixon's line.- .
It is to North Carolina, among all the southern
States, that whig hopes and efforts have been special
ly directed. The Whig Convention, the whig com
mittee here, and the whig party everywhere, know
ing that the election in North Carolina was the on
ly August election in the South which the wbigs
could hope to cany, were keenly alive to the im
mense moral effect of success or failure in that State.
In this view, North Carolina received the vice presi
dential nomination. The two southern whig mem
bers of Congresss who took the most early, active,
and prominent lead in forcing upon the South the
nomination of General Scott, were Hon. Messrs.
Mangum and Stanly the one a senator, the other
a representative, of North Carolina. To operate
specially in North Carolina, the whig abolitionist
conspiracy was gotten up, falsely charging Gen.
Pierce with having made declarations hostile to the
fugitive law. These false charges, printed on the
same sheet and in connection with a transcript of the
legislative record of New Hampshire, were scattered
broadcast tnrougu the State, with an introiuctory
letter from two members of Congress certifying tbe
correctness of the record, and though not specially
mentioning tbe false charges published along with
it, yet plainly calculated to give to the whole docu
ment greater credence and consequence than it
would otherwise obtain. This trick was, moreover,
resorted to at so late a moment before the election
as to render the full exposure of it before the people
in time for this election, and of the falsehood of the
charges thus circulated, almost impossible. In ad
dition to this, the whigs, knowing that the demo
crats had before elected Governor Rcid against
Manly mainly on a local issue, now put in nomina
tion against him one of the most popular, influential.
and eloquent whigs in the State Mr. Kerr who,
through bis whole canvasss, took special pains so to
shape his course in the different parts of the State as
to conciliate the feelings of different localities on all
the special issues. Clearly with the effect of aiding
in this canvass, and doubtless with a direct view to
do so, Mr. Graham resigned his post as Secretary of
the Navy and went home The State was flooded
with whig documents from Washington, and special
official emissaries were despatched frem their desks
to circulate them and augment their effect upon the
public mind. In a word, the whig party and its
managers and organs made-every ettort that was
fair and proper, and almost every conceivab'e effort
that was unfair and improper, to carry the State.
And the result of the whole movement is an unex
ampled, and, we confess, an unexpected Waterloo de
feat of the whigs, which has not only insured the
State for Pierce and King in November, but has, as
we confidently believe, placed North Carolina, hereto
fore the Gibralter of southern wltiggery, permanently
in the line of southern democratic Slates.' I he whig
electioneering committee of New York scattered se
cret circulars through North Carolina, filled with de
ceptive statements and treacherous appeals, to arouse
the whigs of that State.
There is but one explanation to all this. The
nomination of Gen. Scott has proved itself to b; a
millstone hung around the neck ot the southern
whig party. The ablest whigs of the south distinct
ly foresaw, and over their signatures proclaimed, in
a deliberate manifesto, this result. In able speech
es several of them, in a most conclusive manner, set
forth the grounds of their opinions, and declared
that Gen. Scott could not receive their support. But
Sewardism and sectionalism were deat to their warn
ings, and not only forced the nomination of General
Scott upon the reluctant and protesting South, but
resorted to a confessed corrupt bargain " to accom
plish it. which bargain was scornfully repudiated
by the Seward organs of the North just as soon as it
had been consummated by the nomination. Ihe
broad contrast of all this to the Taylor canvass is
most manifest. Then Gen. Taylor was the preferre d
candidate of ihe South. The South, to her cost, was
beguilded into the belief that be. as a southern man,
might be trusted to maintain the constitutional
rights of the South against the " higher law" doc
trines and the controlling power of Sewardism in
tbe whig ranks No such delusion exists hardly is
any such pretence made in the case of Gen. Scott.
He is in the field as the chosen representative of the
enemies of the South. The result has begun to ap
pear. It will appear fully in November.
It is important to remember that, according to the
most reliable accounts from Iowa, the Scott move
ment thus far seems to have prospered no better in
the North than in the South. This fact is of the
more interest, because a purely sectional canvass and
a " clean northern vote" for Gen. Scott seem now
the only whig reliance. It is highly probable that
to this result, the whigs, now despairing of the South,
may direct their main efforts. Against such an at
tempt let the democratic party and the patriotism
of the people, everywhere plaited on the policy of
peace between the North and the South, be tore
warned and forearmed. The democratic cause, as
we believe, is safe in the South. Yet it should not
be forjrotten that even in that section democratic
energy and watchfulness must not slacken until the
final battle is fought and won. At the North, on
the other hand, and especially in the three great
States which form the field of the main contest, we
may be well assured that " higher lawism," confi
dent and boastful of its now ascertained control in
the whig ranks, will put forth its most desperate
unscrupulous efforts. It is for the democratic party
to remember that not only the ascendency of its own
cherished policy and principles, but also the peace
and tranquility of the Union, bung on the event of
the struggle. Let the effort and zeal of the united
democracy be commensurate with the demands of
the crisis !
and defied all the authorities of the realm to con
tend against the power of tbe press 1 "Give them,"
said he, ''a corrupt House of Lords ; give them a ve
nal House of Commons ; give them a tyrannical
Erince; give them a truckling court; and let me
ut have an unfettered press I will defy them to
encroach a hair's breadth upon the liberties of Eng
land." Yes, an unfettered press is a match, and an
overmatch for almost anything human. Neither ty
ranny nor freedom can stand against it. Neither
corruption nor virtue can survive its systematic and
persevering assaults. It may be rendered all but
omnipotent for evil ; it may be rendered all but om
nipotent lor good, according to the end to wnicn it
is directed, and the influence by which it is control
led. And the only reliable earthly influence to
which we can look for safety, is a sense of responsi
bility, moral and religious responsibility, on the part
of its controllers.
Wholesale Prices Current.
A writer in the National Intelligencer estimates
the value of coffee consumed in the United States,
England and France at 59.000.000 ; tea in Europe
and America at 35,000,000, and Indigo, 21,000,
000. He states that the genuine tea tree in its full
perfection, grows to a height of forty to fifty feet,
and is cultivated from lat. 27 de. to 32 dec. north
latitude, under severe frosts and snows, and many
of tbe mountains, high upon whose sides tbe plant
grows, are capped with perpetual snow. The idea
that ten will only flourish in a hot climate appears
to he erroneous. He recommends the cultivation of
both tea and indigo, for which tbe climate and soil
of different sections of this country are well adapted.
He says:
'Tea can he procured in this country under seven
cents a pound, calculating labor at 50 cents per diem.
A tea planta'ion requires care the first and second
years, after which it is a most hardy plant, ami will
yield tea for twenty five to thirty years. So the on
ly trouble is plucking the leaves and drying them,
which is labor for women and children. A man ac
tively engaged ten hours in the day may collect 50
to CO lbs. of green leaf, and another would manufac
ture them, and the quantity of dried tea would be
12i to 15 lbs. A fair plantation would produce 300
lbs. per acre. I have made as much as 480 lbs. per
acre in the year on some land I neld on the west of
China."
Of indigo be is equally sanguine, and denies that
its cultivation is unhealthy : nor is that its charac
ter where it is known and cultivated. He is of opin
ion that it can be produced here under 30 cents per
lb. Prices of Indigo, for the last forty years, vary
froml to 2 per lb.

this country, I fear, to speak of statesmen aspiring
to share the influence of the press. But, however
it may be as to the poiritof relative aspiration, there
can be little question as that of comparative respon

REVIEW OF THE WILMINGTON MARKET.
FOR THE WEEK ESDINO AUGUST 12, 1852.
Remarks. In consequence of the illness of the editor,
the whole duties of our office have devolved upon the asso
ciate ; and it has been utterly impossible for him to pay
that strict attention to tho Mercantile department of the pa
per, that he is in the habit of bestowing. We, however,
make such remarks upon the state of business transactions
as we know to be strictly correct. There has been consider
able rain above us, as we learn from Fayctteville yester
day morning, and the river had risen to 3 feet, with the
prospect of a still further rise.
kef Cattle. Several small droves of Beeves have been
brought in during the week, and taken by the butchers at
about 5 ecnts per lb. The market, however, is but poorly
supplied, both in quality and quantity.
Bacon-. Small sales in lots to suit within the range of
quotations. Stock of North Carolina cured light.
Corn. 1 no stock in store and afloat is fully fair if not
heavy. Wo noto small sales at 65 and 68c. per bushel, mar
