Message OF the Govermor of south Carolina.

Message Of the Governor of South Carolina.
On the Goth inst, the message of Gov. SEABRooK,
of South Carolina, was transmitted to the Legisla
ture Of that State The greater portion of the mes

Superintendent of Common Schools Also, the abo-
lition of public whipping punishment for white

removal out of the State of all free colored persons
who are not the owners of real estate slave proper

Of the late acts of Congress- and the attitude assumed
by the North upon the slavery question. He says:

foreign hands. We must re-organize our political
system ON some surer and safer basis. There is nc
power, moral or physical that can prevent it. The
event Is indissouby linked with its cause, and fixed

49,, poo..-RiIly Patterson.

As an ardent friend and admirer of the distinguish
ed gentleman whose name heads this article, we feel
called upon to enter protest against the growing
insensibilty to his wrongs which we all must have
noticed 1t is an undoubted fact, that outrageous
assault and battery has been committed upon the
person of Mr. WILLIAM PATTERsoN-that he has
been struck-that his feelings have been outraged
and his honor violated by blow; and the question
is not now-Has Billy Patterson been struck !--but
it is, Who struck Billy Patterson 2" In the Ian
guage of distinguished ex-diplomatst, 8 Whar is
the man what did it % Again we demand, e War;
is he ?-and echo answers, Whar." But while this
weighty question is unanswered-while the wrongs
of Mr.. Patterson are unavenged and unredressed-
we find the tickle public forgetful of old ties and
sociations allowing all its sympathes to be diverted
into new channel, and the question is not now as
formerly, "Who struck Billy Patterson ?" but Who
Rugged Susan !'-who embraced Susanna ?-who
embodied the angelic form of Susiannah in his arms
With all due Difference to the ladies, We must
fess that we do not consider the wrongs of the fair
Susanna all to be compared with those of the out
ragged Patterson It is by means certain that the
hugging was not mutual which must abate much OF
its atrocity Our opinion is sustained by the exis
tence of beautiful lyric which begins as follows
] Oh, Susannah, don't you cry for mo,
Tm coming back from Alabama,
| With my banjo my knee -
which places it beyond reasonable doubt that the
man ' who Rugged SUSAN is visit to Alabama
1t also informs of the fact that he is coming back
with his banjo his knee by which he may be iden.
tilted should he attempt repetition of the outrage
But there is another fact to be cleaned from this
piece of poetry. The request made that Susannah
should not cry for him, for that he is coming back
again. shows that that young lady must have felt
interest in the MINSTREL who to have been
an accomplished youth, and performer upon that
beautiful instrument known as the banjo. And if
at their last interview previous to his departure fol-
Alabama, he did give Susannah one parting embrace
who is there with remnant of heart in his OF
her bosom, who would not return verdict of JUS
tifable Hugging q u Lives there man with sou
so dead" We hope that this matter being satisfac
torily explained, public opinion and public sympathy
will once more resume their accustomed channels
and the press again demand, in tones of thunder

wILs1INGroN, NC. FRIDAY, WOW so, 1850.
Lcr1.Ioture OF North Caroline.

So far the Legislature has rather been getting
ready to do than actually doing. The only business
as vet DONE has baen the reelection of VIM HILL to
the Office of Secretary of State; of the most lu
crative if not the most lucrative, taking it all and
ALL in the State. This is quoted as an example of
Democratic generosity. Too generous, we say by
half Mr. HILL has had the Office all his life, which
seems to us very strange argument in favor OF re-
tanning him in it. We have heard it argued, and ar
gued strongly, in favor of removing men, that they
had been long enough in Office but it is certain
" queer excuse for keeping them in longer
Mr. DICKSON, of this place, who received few
votes, was not in nomination. We are inclined
to believe that certain members of the Legislature
of our own party, in and about Raleigh, whom we
might particularize refused to go into caucus in
gard to this matter their constant retention of
Office giving them fellow feeling. Our people in
this the banner district duly alive to such
tesy 1t only now remains to refuse any assistance
to the Manchester Road and then We will know what
we have to expect from this Central influence which
seems DESTROYS of ruling the Democrats as we'll as
the Wings.

FAITH--now GAINED. The best means
Of acquiring a strong faith in the realities
Of m eternal world, is a good life This
is Infinitely more important than read
-, stud, or meditation, When the
pressure Of sin is removed from lhc soul,
it expands as by a natural elasticity IL
lsccnds to a lofty cmncnce and gazes up
On universe Of lovelincss forever hidden
from the view of the corrupt and depra-
we'd. Virtue is naturally bouyant,
cheerful, and full of hope. The sun Of
,hc celestial Try shines upon the soul
Of the good man, as that of earth WHITES
and illumines his boGy. He IS 70! afraid OF
being crushed by the desolatlng forces OF
death and the gave. He feels the ele-
ments of Immortality in his bosom as
plainly as he does the pulsatons Of his
heart Such is our mental organization
that whenever conscience whispers peace,
it also inspires a glorious hope. The per
rormance of good deeds like an angel
of mercy, draws aside the curtain which
wells the future, to cheer the soul with
partial glimpscs and revelations of the
spirit land. A Writ Ious lif1 is essential to
that faith which builds bridge over the
Gulf of death, across which the believer
daily passes to range the happy walks and
shades, fit haunts of gods, forever mac
cessble to sin, sorrow and immortality.
Iiv;nr we'll * more necessary than study
ing hard to inspire an immovable rust in
that Redecmer who has abolished death
and brought life and immmortality to
light throughth gospel,

PRoDrcE OF OSE ACRE of GROrND.-The Editor
of the Maine Cultiyator published, few years
ago, his management Of one acre Of ground, from
which We gather the following results: One third
Of an acre in corn usually produced 30 bushels
Of sound corn for grinding, besides some refuse.
This quantity was sufficient for family use, and
for fauening one large or two small hogs. From
the same ground he obtained two or three hun
dred pumpkins, and his family supply of beans.
From bed of six rods square, he usually OBJ
taincd 60 bushels Of onions: these lie sold at i
per busheI, and the amount purchased his -four.
Thus from one-third of an acre and an onion bed,
he obtained his breadstufs. The rest Of the
ground was appropriated to all sorts OF yegeta-
bles, for summer and winter use, potatoes, beets
parsniPs, cabbage, green corn, peas, beans, Gu
cumbers, melons. squashes, Sc, with ify or SIX
? ty bu: hels Of beets and carrots for the winter
food of cow. Then he had also flower gar

cherry, peach and ounce trees.
