From the North Carolina .Nncbernian
Monsieur I. Ignstius Mudd."

We take the annexed article in relation TO that
tempest in teapot, which the Republican raised a
week or two since, touching the mission of Ig-
natus Mudd" to Mr. Stanly from the North Caro-
lima Whig. The facts, stated by the Whig place
the position Of the Republican even in a more ridcu-
-lous light than we had supposed.
ave copy below a vIllanous article from the
Newbern Republican. We give 1t In full, that our
readers may see the desperate efforts resored to by
the Locofoco leaders in this Congressional district
The whole thing is false, and only false--a sheer
fabrication. No such person as 'lgnatius Mudd'
was present at the recent Wing convention No
such officer ar the Commissioner Of Public Build
ings in Washington city has been in this town.
No public officer from Washington city, APP
pointed by Gen. Taylor has ever been here for
amy purpose, much less TO direct the action Of the
Wing convention" No xDicr from Gen. Taylor
as to whom twhol shall be nominated for Con-
grcss has been received here. II is all fabrication
out and out-sll false-fasc in the beginning, false
in the end, false in the middc-sll falsc-nothing
but falschood-a villanous Locofoco lie, or a hoax
"And further, we learn, on inquiry Of Mr.. Stan
ly HIMSELF that he has received line either
from Gen. Taylor or any member Of his Cabinet
expressing wish that he should be a candidate for
Congress.
"General Taylor, therefore, had nothing 10 do
either directly remotely, with the nomination OF
Mr.. Stany. How such fasehood should have
got into paper making any claims TO respectable
ty, is unsccountabe, except the supposition that
somebody here has hoared the Republican, species
Of sport to which our 'B'hoys are somewhat addict
ed and for which sufficient materials were furnished
in the fact that gentlemen named II. G. Mudd, a
private citizen Of Maryland, passed through this
place at the time Of the Wing convention

another Of Mr. Irving's sketches, The legend OF

BOARD OF HEALrH.-The regular weekly meet
ing was held at their room in the City Hall on last
Saturday evening at S clock.
The President laid before the Board the draft of
his annual sanitary report to the Mayor, contain
ing much interesting information as to the deaths
by disease in the city within the past twelve months
to the LIST July, the number, age, sex, and color,
and the character Of the disease of the bills of NOR
tality, &c. Consumption appears to have been
largely the most fatal but the President added that
number of deaths, which ought properly to be set
down TO other maladies, were charged to this No
epidemic has visited the city during the year. We
suppose this communication will be published by
the Councils
communication was also laid before the Board
from the Mayor, enclosing letter from the Secre-
tary OF the Navy, with letters from Captain Nc
Cauley and Surgeon Fotz, of the U. s. navy, COM
planning of nuisance on square 1913, near the navy
yard, and asking its abatement. The papers, with
the previous action of the Board on the subject,
were ordered to be laid before the Councils for their
consideration.
The gratifying announcement was made that no
case of Asatc cholera had been reported in the city
during the past week.
After the transaction of other important business,
az to nuisances, catte-pens, &c, the Board adj
journed until next Saturday evening at 6 o'clock
FiRE.-Two small tenements, owned by Mr..
q. Watterston, and occupied by colored persons,
near Sd street, between Indiana avenue and c
street, were destroyed by fire on Saturday night
between III and II o'clock. Some apprehension
was 'eit for the safety of the large unoccupied
dwelling Of David A. Hall, esq, on the corner of
Sd and c streets, as but two low frame buildings
interviewed between il and the burning houses, and
the wind in that direction; but the activity Of
the hremen who were promptly on the spot, pre-
vented the fire from spreading to any of the ada
cen, buildings, although water was, as usual, very
difficult to obtain in the neighborhood

GENERAL KING, one of the visiters at West Point,
of which Institute he is himself graduate, writes
to his paper at Milwaukee letter from which we
copy the following:
Towards the close of the examination General
Scott came up from New York, and reviewed the
corps in full uniform, attended by his staff The
show was fair one
''But of all these collaterals, that which gave me-
personally, the greatest pleasure, was meeting on
the 10th of june, the anniversary of graduation
of those members of the class of l829-lS33,
who CHANGED to be at West Point. There were but
six present: Col. Bliss, General Taylors Adjutan
General; Lieut. Col Scott, General Scott's Adjulmt
General; Captain G. w. Calum, distinguished
officer of the United States Engineer; Captain r. S
Smith, the Assistant Professor of Drawing at the
Academy, gentleman of fine taste and accom-
plishments ; and myself We called the rolf Of
our Glass; Zone hundred and twenty-one in number
at the commencement, and the forty-three at the
close Of the four years term and found that of the
forty-three, who were graduated in 1888, fifteen
dead, twelve still in service, and sixteen en-
gagged in different pursuits of civil life. OF the if-
teen dead eight lost their lives on the battle-felds
of Florida and Mexico. Our gathering, though it
called up some sad memories, revived too many
grateful recollectons, and Frightened link which
time may rust, perchance, but cannot sunder,"

There are in Paris persons who, with capital
Of 500 francs, make profit Of 36,5o0 They con-
trive il in this way In the neghborhood of the
markets are a great number ofpeoPle who buy and
sdl again fish, fruit, vegetables, &c, some Of whom
use az the traffic their own funds, while others bor-
row for the purpose. The latter go every morning
to some person who is willing to trust them with
FIVE francs This capital they turn over enough to
provide for the expenses of the day, and pay back
six franc, instead Of FIVE. Something they YET
have, but usually waste it at cabaret in wine and
gaming This is the history Of every day.
A Partisan journal says this system should meet
with general Reproduction and ccnsure, as it deprve'
a hundred thousand families Of bread Any Of these
hucksters who are systematic and economical car
easily shake on this burden OF dependence. By
limiting their indulgence Of passion for wine foi
a few days, they would amass capital enough &c
suf6oe for their business. The mass Of them, how
ever. seem perfectly contented with things as they
are, and borrow day after day until they die. o
