his timber on the latter river than to take the
same as a Gift on the Neuse and carry 1t to mar

is certainly due to the public. Why does not
some of the steam mill capital, so prohtably
employed at Wilmington, find its way to New

The counties below us-Wayne, Lenoir aud

will receive you with open and gladdened hearts.
We are willing to pay such freights as will make
it your interest 10 carry for alone; or to make
it more profitable to you the further up you carry.
This will soon attract the trade of our more west

several such boats yours to accommodate ii, and

The Mormon War-A Battle Fought, and
Iboenty-one Persons K1LLed-Another Battle EG-
pecked. An extra from the Office of the Illinois
State Register, dated Sunday, September 2lst, con-
tains the latest and most important news from the
Mormon country:
sit appears that the antiMormons continued
their work of destruction until upwards of 100
houses have been consumed. Sheriff Backenstos
failed in raising posse strong enough to stop these
movements, without resortng to Nauvoo, owing
to the fear of all we'll disposed persons in the
try, that their own houses might be consumed.
We learn that he has raised about 500 men from
Nauvoo, all we'll armed, with which he had dis
persed the rioters commanded by Colonel Will
liams, at Green Plains.
In this affair no lives were lost, as the "Anties'
ran and took shelter in corn field, before the pos
Sc came within firing distance
BackenstoS had been driven away from Car
thage, and returned with about 500 men. to re-
move his family; he fell in with a large body of
anti -Mormons, when battle ensued. 1t is said
that eighteen anti. Mormons and three Mormons
acerc killed. It appears that Williams, Sharp,
Davis, and other leaders, escaped. A large mum.
Der ofthe anti -Mormons were taken prisoners, and
are now confined and guarded in the Court House
at Carthage.
The people had all fcdfrom Carthage, Angus
ia, ond other anti Mormon towns, and carried their
families into the counties of Adams Marquette,
Schuyler and Nc Donough: and are beating up
for volunteers in those counties, to recruit their
forces, with which to renew the war. II IS un-
known how many men they will be able TO raise !;
but it is believed that they have disgraccd them
selves by the nccndiary mode in which they havo
carried on the war, that their success will not be
very great. But if they succeed, another bloody
battle may be expected in the course of this week
Before this news arrived, the Governor had is
sued a call for five hundred men to qucll the dis
turbances
We are advised that it is fact, that no letters
have been received at this place from any of the
Mormon party since the commencement of these
troubles, except one from very obscure man in
Nauvoo, and another from Nc Donough county,
and no newspapers 1t is rumorcd that the mails
have been stopped, and there is story aaoat that
one mail carrier has been murdered. No messen-
ger has arrived from all that section of country,
until to-day when committee arrived from
Mount Sterling"

A gratifying and striking illustration oflhe great
benefits ofinternal Improvements in equalzing the
standard of comfort and distributing the products
of country, is now afforded by the facility and
cheapness with which the Southern rail roads are
conveying corn into the sections where the drought
had been severe. Wcso by the Augusta Consti-
tutonaist that the Georgia and State railroads
have made an arrangement whereby they will
carry grain their whole length-152 miles-for
twelve and half cents per bushel. The large
surplus OF the Cherokee country IS to be rapidly
and cheaply conveyed to middle Georgia, where
there would be suffering without it-whereas, but
for these railroads, that surplus might rot in the
barns before could be carried far to relieve the
wants of suffering community.

4 Mr.. WALKUP's ADDRESS.

A good deal of our space is occupied this week
with very interesting speech of Mr.. Walkup,
delivered on the 4th of July last, in Union Comfy
Besides the usual topics discussed in such address
les, Mr. Walxup touches new theme-one of pc
culiar interest to North Carolnans, and the citi-
zcns of Meckfenburg in particular. He proves,
beyond controversy, we think. that Gen. Andrew
Jackson was boIn in North Carolina, and not in
South Carolina, as most historians SET it down.
The facts stated by Mr.. Walkup are not new to
US. Several years since we heard them substan-
tally repeated by some Of the old citizens of the
Waxhaws. That Gen. jackson was born at
George McCamies, in Mecklenburg, is beyond
doubt, and susceptible of the clearest proof But
even admitting that he was born at Crawford's, as
has heretofore been said by historians, Cra,1tord
then Iioea IN North Carolina; and was cut off to
South Carolina inn1S13 by the new line then run.
But even ifhe had been born on South Carolina soil
his mothers residence was in North Carolina, there
was her home, and from the soil and climate of old
Meckenburg sprung the greatest General and states
man Of modern times, if not the greatest, Qhe two
combined, J the world eversaw. Where isthe Coun-
ty in the Union, save old Mecklcnburg, that has
produced two Presidents-and two such as ".Old
Hickory and {: Young Hickory 2"

To prerent Smut IN Wheat We have re-
ceived, says the Hagerstown Pledge, through the
nstrumentality of Dr. Johnson, of Frederick coun-
ty, the following recipe of the Hon, VIM Char
michall which we give as sovereign preventive
of the smut in wheat and which wo recommend
10 The general use Of our farmers:
"" Dissolve in large tub, 1s lbs. of GIauber
Salts in 22 gals. of water; put in your seed wheat
and wash it well then take it out, and put it in
bed of Stacked lime, spread it out on your granary
floor, and mix the wheat well, so that each grain
is coated with lime then sow it,"
The Hon. Mr. Charmichall says after this pro-
cess, he and his overseer, and others, have exam
ined the wheat when thrasbed out, and not
smutted grain was to be found

CERTAINLY A ,PREDICAMENT,

A few nights since, says an Albany paper, d
tali, eccentric parsonage was observed by The ten.
ants Of the cabin Of one of the Albany boats TO
perform sundry strange eVoiutions garnishcd BY
variety of hops, skips, and jumps, which belo+
kened any thing but a sane mind in The performer.
The movements of this parsonage betrayed tron-
bic and pain, and they were at last so perfectly
distressing TO the behoders that consultation was
held and coinmittce of three appointed to inquire
into the cause of the Strangers unaccountable
movements With due caution tho deputies ap4
preached their man, while the others gathered
around within earshot to witness whatever "tale"
might be "unfolded" The committee stated their
reasons for troubling him with what might be-
deemed impertinent intcrrogatories and concluded
their remarks by requesting to know the reuSono Of
his apparent perplexity, and whether or not they
could render him any aid.

Extraordinary Feat. A London paper states
that Carrier Pigeon was lately seen at the Rail-
way terminus at Vauxhall, in ah exhausted state
it was caught by hand, but died shortly after
wards. A label was appended to one Of his legs,
addressed to his Grace, the Duke of Wellington,
which stated that three pigeons were thrown up
at the Island of Ichaboc, and bore date July,
l845 The distance is computed to be between
two thousand and three thousand miles from the
place where the pigeon appears to have been lib
Grated, TO its destination in London. The bird
with its appendage, was Immediately forwarded
to Apsley House, and the Duke of Wellington,
by an autograph note, the next day courteous:y
Acknowledged the receipt from the party who
sent the bird 1t has been stuffed, and in the p:O-
cess, it was discovered that the bird bad been shot,
otherwise, there can be no doubt that it would

The New York E piscopaI Convention seem to
have arrived at definite conclusion in Bishop
Onderdonk's case on Saturday last after very
warm discussion. The com promise that they
have agreed on, seems 10 be that they have allowed
the Bishop his salary, and authorized the Standing
Committee to obtain the services of a neighboring
Bishop to discharge the duties of the Episcopacy,
until new Bishop can be elected, or the suspension
annnIed. A great deal of feeling was exhibited
during the dcbate-so much so that it was almost
impossible for the Chairman to preserve order.

Comfortable TO Iron Masters. The railways
now existing in Great Britain and Ireland have
proved so profitable to the stockholders, that a
sort of mania has grown up for stock of that kind
PaI lament, during the late session, granted char
tiers for the construction ofabou 1900 miles of rail
way which viii cause an outlay ofabout hundred
millions of pounds sterling, andthe consumption
of all the iron that can be made in Great Britain in
eight years. 1t is apprehcpded that this immense
speculation will soon be followed by disastrous
reaction-indeed the late circular of the bankers
and brokers intmatcs fear Of this result.
Before this can happen, however, the price oil
iron will rise throughout Great Britain higher
than ever was known before-and consequently
the article will be dearer than ever, on the conti-
ncnt of Europe and in the United States

A Queer Mistake. On Thursday we'll dress
ed countryman, with his wife, entered one OF the
principal dry goods stores on State street, not far
from the city bank, and commenced making pur-
chases. They had with them "pledge ofaffec-
tion" in the shape of fine infant few months
old, we'll wrapped in funneIs. While looking
over the goods, the mother placed the child upon
one of the low counters, one side of the store,
taking to bolster it up we'll with goods to pre-
vent it falling off, where it soon fell asleep. The
couple having made all the purchases they desr-
ed left the store, got into the wagon and drove off
without the child. They had got half way home
before they discovered that they had left their dar-
ling behind. Back they came as fast as horse
f1esh with liberal application of the lash, could
bring them, both father and mother appearing to
have suffered intense anxiety They found the
child safe, and the clerks, all of whom are nice
young mcn," in greater CONSERVATION than them
Iselves-fearing that they would have TO perform
the Office Of papa 10 " little responsibility" they
had not spoken for. The mother bore the prize
off in triumph to the great relief of the aforesaid
clerks, who had just reason TO fear the consequent
ces, as stranger things than these have occurred
before-not that mothers often forget their chill
dren but that young gentlemen sometimes have
" pledges left them TO which they lay no claim
as owners Rochester Daily Democrat.

This anecdote taken in connection with the ac-
counts ofthe destitute poor of Great Britain de-
tailed in Judge CarIctons diary, and in every news
paper which crosses the Atlantic, forms an apt
commentary on the declaration with which the
article on Oregon in the last Foreign Quarterly
concludes. ':America cannot go to war;" says
the reviewer, " because she has neither men, mon
ey nor credit"

bcr says the quantity of tea and coffee consumed in
the whole world is estimated at eight hundred mil,
lions Of pounds-and that both contain an active
principle, which, though small in quantity. is yet
supposed to form an important part in the human
economy. Mr.. Peligot of the French Academy
OF Sciences, after careful analysis, announced
that tea contains essential principles of nutrition,
far exceeding in importance its stimulating pl oper-
ties, and that as stimulant tea is one of the most
desirable articles in habitual use. One of his ex-
periments on its nutrve qualities, as compared to
soup, was by no means in favor of The latter.
