DIED, in this City, CHARLES F. AmEs, printer
"a young man of rare genius, precipitated to an
untimely end by the demon of INTEMpERANcE.
Not long since, under the influence of sober
reflection, and animated no doubt, by sincere
resolution to reform his habits this Inflated
young man wrote and published the following
penitcnt and beautiful lines; but alas! his reso-
luton was not equal to the sincerity of his
penitent emotions: and relapsing into his former
habits he soon found an untimely grave. We
do not wish to be harsh-but still we must say
that it is serious question, whether those who
sold or presented liquor to this miseable young
man. may not be Justly cosdered murderers,
al least in moral sense. Mr.. Ames had not
only fine poetical genius; but we saw, not
long before his death, letter which he wrote
on business, and we have never seen a more
elegant or appropriate production of the kind; it
was indeed master piece in its style, and
peculiar fitness FOR the occasion. Mr. Ames
worked last as journeyman, in this office; and
for short time we had hopes that he would
reform; but these hopes were evanescent, aud
are now entombed with the relics of that genius,
which. bnt for one ruinous propensity, might
have shone forth the ornament and pride of its
native cline, which, we believe, was that of New
England. 1t is to be hoped, however, that the
following lines, though their unhappy and la
mented author had not the resolution to live up
to them, may not be in all cases as seed sown
upon rocky soil We cannot but add, what
must be the feelings Of those, if any feelings
they possess, who while they think of the un-
timely grave of the writer, recollect that by fur
nishing him with drink-by tempting him, in
his own words, 'io drain the cup Of SIM, they
precipitated his melancholy, his awful end

Anne lean remarking upon the ruinous sysle OF
indiscriminate credit pursued by the Press in
this country, yer, justly and sensibly says:
I'll il Injurious both TO publishers and to those
snbsril ers who pay. The amount Of money
thus !, st would, if expended on the paper as il
might have been, have increased its a tractive-
ness hundred fold. 1t is fact which we can
vouch for, that there are Standing on the books
of large establishment in all adjoining city,
bad debts to the amount Of 100000, and on
those Of another to the amonnt Of $6O.O00.
These but two instances which have fallen
under own observation, and there are doubtless
many papers in the country which could pre-
sent long and appalling array of drlinquencies.
The Press would be rendered more independent
bya cash system, and would avoid many i'm

With heavy heart we sit down TO the task
of making brief record Of the most disastrous
fires, with which our devoted town has ever
been visited. At about two o'clock this morn
ing The alarm sounded and proved 10 proceed
from tie store occupied by John Dawson, at the
North East corner Of the Court House. The
Court House itself was soon on fire, were also
the buildings adjoining Mr.. Dawson's. The
flames progressed thence with terrific fairy, IN an
eastesIy and northernly direction of the square in
which Ike Ere originated and in a few minutes
caught the buildings acioss Front street, in
Westerly direction. The progress Of the fire was
then III every direction from common centre.
South, ho;yever, nothing was burnt but the coult
house. In other directions indicated, no barri-
ers could be interposed until the squares i,ame-
diateIy n. w. and n. E. Of the court house
were entirely destroyed, with the exception of
the Bank Of Cape Fear, and two small houses next
north OF it, on the former square and three brick
buildings on the N. w. angle ofthe latter. The
whole number Of buildings destroyed is about
one hundred and fifty, including the Offices Of
the Advertiser and Chronicle, the Custom House
and the Clarendon and Reston's Hotel
We have heard no critical estimates of the
aggregate loss. but are inclined to think it will
sum up to nearly five hundred thousand dollars.

| Our great American philosopher has not been
| usually ranked with those who among the re.
nowned names of the world, can be claimed as
believer and follower Of the Christian religion
| Yet, in the testimony which is annexed, and
which we do not remember to have seen before
there is such proof. both of religious faith and
practical wisdom, as to outweigh many vague
accusations.
Motion for Prayers in The Coarention Mr..
President: The small progress we have made,
after four or five weeks close attendance and con-
tinuaI reasoning with each other, our different
sentiments, on almost every question, several OF
the last producing AS many noes as ayes, is me-
thinks, a melancholy proof Of the imperlection
of the human understanding. We indeed, seem
to feel our own want of political wisdom, since
wr have been running all about in search of it.
We have gone back to ancient history for mod
els OF Government, and examined the different
forms Of those Republics, which, having been
originally formed with the seeds OF their own
dissolution, now no longer exist and we have
viewed modern States all round Europe, bat ind
none of their constitutions suitable 10 our cir
cums,ancss. In this situation of this assembly.

with Britain, when we were sensible Of danger,
we had daily prayers in this room for divine pro-
lection. Our prayers, sir, were heaid--and they
were graciousiy answered. All of US who were
engaged in the struggle must have observed fire.

in our favor. To that kind Providence we owe
this happy opportunity ofconsuIting in peace on

licty. And have we now forgotten that power

time, and the longer live, the more convincing
proofs see of this truth-that God governs in
the affairs of men. And ia sparrow cannot fall
to the ground without his notice, is it probable
that an empire can raise without his aid! We
have been assured, sir, in the sacred writings,
that except the Lord build the house, they la
Dor in vain tina, build it." firmly believe this,
and believe that without His concurrng aid,
we shall succeed in this political building no
