A Fortune made BY Acc,deHt,--l once

traced all his good toftuue to a rusty nail,
which he preserved with a sort OF ptous
,cnesalon. The huks between What he
was aud " ha, he had been he concatenaed
I thus:
4 He had been a small carpenter, and
bcmg employed upon small ,1b at gen.
tleman's house, when he had completed 1t,
he received his money, aud vent about hls
business. Blu, he had not proceeded far
on his way home ere he recollectcd that he
had forgotten TO draw a large crooked nail
which protrudcd very aWkwardly, and lie
returned to remove IT, just as he was ap
preaching the door he heard loud scream.
Looking up, he saw the infant aud only
child Of the gentleman falling from one Of
the attic windows, where the nursery maid
had been playing with it, when, by sud
den spring, u escaped from her grasp. -
With equal presence Of mind and dexterity
he received the child 10 bis arms, broke
tire shock Of It's descent, aud sayed it from
being dashed to pieces. The grateful faith
er roqulted the Invaluable service 0or he
doaled on the babe, because II was the sole
memorial OF the dead mother who bore ~
bs munlticent sum OF money, winch en-
abled hlm to embark largely IN his business,
aud thus lay the foundation OF the great
wealth which he afterwards accumulated.
But he always maintained that 1t was the
rusty nail IN reality that made his fortune.

It is with profound sense of our utter
inability to give expression to our own
or the rublic grief that we record the
death of ROBERT Y. HAYNE, The
anxious and painful suspense of our COM
munity since the first accout of his illness
at Ashville, IN. c. was terminated on
Friday last by the news of his death. He
died on Tuesday, the 25th inst. after a
short illness, from Bilious Fever-ag.
gravated, no doubt, BY his exertions in the
Rail Road Convention, which he was at
tending rs a member and as P. esident OF
the Company. Death found him at his
post in the jealous and self-sacrifcino
discharge ofhis duty--as through life from
early youth he was always found. Our
State has thus lost in the meridian of his
faculties, one whom she always loved
and honored, and who richly repaid all
the affection and honor she bestowed.
Though ended alas much too soon, and
when many yearsof distinguished useful.
ness and accommodating honor we're fairly
anticipated for him, his public life has il
truth been a long ones for his early dis.
tinction for talent and usefulness, caused
him 70 be summoned into the public ser.

carolina has never since consented to dis.

TO THE WINGS.

As our State election comes ON in No

what they are doing TO secIre the success
oftheir ticket Are you straining soul and
body for the good cause 2 IF not, depend
upon it, there is no time 10 be lost, for the
army Of the tories is now in motion, and
every exertion, both fair and foul, putting
forth, to overthrow all the advantages you
have gained. Their efforts, secret and
overt, are immense. The PRESS Of the
PARTY in this place, is now, and has, for
sometime past, been belching forth hun.
dreds and thousands of pamphlets, sheets
and documents fevery description, aboun-
ding with slang, falsehood. and the most
bare. faced presumption, which are circu-
lated throughout the State by hired cmis-
saries and agents. employed for the nnr-
| pose--besides, they make use of the daily.

is concocted here, by pensioned authors,
libe,lers and corruptiopists, who make a
livelihood by writing for the party. This
is no high.wrought* descrpton, but plain
matter of fact, with ten times more than
you can possibly imagine and we tell
you, that, unless you strain every nerve,
and turn every stone, there is danger OF
this band carrying the State. Flushed
with success in one or two quarters, though
by the basest Corruption the sun ever
shoue upon, they know no bounds; and,
like the Goths and Vandals, (as they in
deed appear to be- seem bent on over
running the fairest portions of the earth,
and destroying the balance of the human
race. We say to you, there is no time 10
be lost Cast your eye TO Tennessee, and
nerve your arm for the contest. You owe
it to your country, to yourselves and 10
mankind to be bold--without which, all
may be lost. The eyes of the whole IN
ion are turned towards you, and look with
anxious solicitude, and palpitating heart,
on the struggle in which you are engaged,
and hope for the most successful result.
Strive, then, to arrest the car of the con-
queror, and save this country from ruin.
Show the base tyrants, for once, that they
are stayed in their mad career, and that
this is not a natioa of slaves that though
they have the sword and the purse the
Government and all its appendages and
hired generals and mercenaries in the
field, you will never be subdued. We
know 1.-THE Wings win stand firm.
