To every subscriber who will procure us three

receipt for years subscription.

We are indebted to Col. Manning for copy
of Mr.. Pinckney's remarks on his resolution re.
lating to the abolition petitions. The remarks
vii he found in our columns together with Mr..
Hammonds reply.
We are sorry to see tho violence with which
Mr. Pnckney has been assailed on tais subject
by some of the newspapers His resolutions
Were not in all respects what we could wish them
10 have been. But they 60 as fer probably as
tho House would 60. We are very sure-and it
seems to US that every man who will give himself
time to reflect dispassioaately on the subject
must also be sure-that his motives were pure
and patriotic. Tho in,imation that he was
tempted by bribcs is most ridiculous, to use no
stronger term.
We are not ourselves among those who have
very strong confidence in the prospective advan-
tagcs Of any expression of opinion by Congress
on this subject. Each Congress will act accord
ing to its own opinions, without much regard to
those of its predecessors.

In the vicinity of Meltonsvilic, n. c., on
Monday the 9th inst in the 18th year of his age,
MARTIN TROY ASHCROFT, eldest son Of
James Ashcroft, of the firm of & l.. Ashcroft.
This amiable youth was from his childhood re-
markablc for all that could render him amiable or
his company desirable. He was affectionate to
all about him, moral in his life. and dgnified in
his department. He was the joy of father and
the comfort of mother, and bid fair to be the
pride of the family. But alas Death, untimely
death, camo with his icy summons, and swept
from time the tender youth. His illness was but
short though severe in the extreme; yet ne bore
it with the fortitude of Christian.
Let mo die tho death of tho righteous, and
may my last end bc ike unto his.

short time the whole of the vast edifice ex-
tending $50 feet on Mulberry.st. together
with large story bidding in the rear OF
100 feet in width, were enveloped in one
sheet of flames. From the combustlble
nature of the contents ofthe buildings, the
fire soon obtained such mastery as to rem
