it for bottle of cologne, and dashed it
in her face and over her snow white

NEusE RIVER IMPROVEMENT. Our readers Neuse
River will find in the columns of to-day's Repub-
and Patriot the proceedings of meeting held
recently at Smithield to take into consideration the
improvement of Neuse River, and also the act pass
ed by the last Legislature incorporating the Neuse
River Navigation Company. The Smithfeld meet
ing proposes TO hold Convention of Delegates from
counties interested in the improvement, kinston,
the 9Th OF July next, and appointed delegates to
represent Johnston county. meeting was called to
be held at Newbern on Tuesday night, for the same
purpose The improvement of Neuse River, as
to make it navigable at all of the year, is a
matter of vast importance to the counties lying it.,
and also of much Importance the District of
try penetrated by the Central Rail Road. 1t the
intention of the Legislature that chartered the Cen
trail Road to make the improvement of the Neuse a
connecting link between the East and the West. 1t
is now fixed beyond all doubt that the Road will
touch at Waynesborough, and thata depot and ware
house will be constructed there. This ensures an
immediate connection between the Road and the Riv-
er improvement, and opens two markets in North
Carolina to the productions of the West.
Of the prac,icability of the Improvement proposed
we know nothing, and therefore can say nothing
That's for the Engineer decide after an actual sur
vey. We hope the Convention may be full one
and that the subject may be duly considered.

IMPORTANT INVENTION. Our citizens and the peo-
pie large, will be glad to learn. that machine has
been invented in London, by which fires can be in
SPONTANEOUSLY extinguished. This invention has been
tested and approved, and is now in extensive in
England and France and of course, will soon be ln-
troduced into the United States. The National In
telligencer OF Thursday says:
"Our readers will remember some mention of the
invention in late letter of our London correspond

England pamphlet containing description of the
invention, and numerous testimonials of its efficiency

English patent is vested in regularly organized COM

trbuting every part of the British Empire. The
Queen the greater number of the nobility, and many
of the principal manufacturers have the machine in
their palaces, mansions, and establishments. The
Association for promoting Emigration to the Center
bury settlement in New Zealand take the machines
out in the vessels conveying emigrants. The inven-
ton is strong recommended by many principal Off
GERS in the Royal Navy and well-informed comman-
ders in the merchant service; and Lord Brougham
recently said that he hoped before long vessel
would be allowed to put to sea without having some
of these machines on board.

ADAM Crooks. AS the whereabouts of this pseudo
phanthropist is at this time a matter of inquiry
among brethren of the Press, we state for their
satisfaction and that of the public generally. that he
had appointments at Franknsville in this County
Saturday and Sunday last We learn that he breaches
(protesses preach) at two or three aces in this
County, one in Montgomery or the southern part of
of our information, though cannot vouch for its
strict correctness. We have never heard. or even
seen this man, but the object of his mission must be
apparent to every one from his n'odts Gperandi We
saw his mission for he is doubtless the hired emssary
of Ohio Aboiitionists. That said Crooks could
preach in this village or its vicinity is certain. We
think it due the respective neighborhoods of this
and the adjoining counties, to look closely to their
regulations innocent people sometimes suffer by be-
ing found in bad company. .4sh6orO' Herald.

The colored draymen at Vcksbnrg had parade
the other day. welcome the return of their brethren,
who had been hauling freight across the Big Black
Bridge since the suspension of the railroad. They
had band of music; their teams were dressed with
flags and they finally all met in circle the wharf,
and gave three cheers for their friends, including Gen.
Quitman. Who believes these people are not hap

THOMAS RUFFIN. We feel proud and gratifed to-
day suspend from masthead the Democratic
Banner inscribed with the name of Col. Thomas
Rutfn. He is gentleman, patriot, and a sound
States Rights Republican, thoroughly and eminently
qualified for the high and honorable Station to which
his feow-citiZens have called him. He was born
i'll Greene County, and by education is n orth Car
Gilman, and such is welded her soil, her Inst
tutons and her interests. A citizen of an independ
ent and sovereign State, he will uphold the dignity
and sovereignty Of North Carolina, zeaIously main
tanning its rights unmpared and its honor unimp peach
ed, while he will seek to perpetuate the Union
established by the Constitution, by every means in
his power. So long as TIE Union OF the States dis
penses equa! justice to ALL and respects the rights of
all, so long will the Democratic Candidate incu cae
Government. His platform, however, is laid down
in the resolutions OF the late Convention and that
platform will he stand fall.
1t would perhaps be indicate in write la
bored eulogy upon Col. Rutin's past We
cannot omit however to mention one fact, merely to
show the citizens of the 9Th Congressional District,
that he ready to take up the sword in defence
of his country, in times of DANGER he is ready
to bear the banner of his party throughout the length
and breadth of the District. While the Federaists
of the country extending " aid and comfort" to
the enemy in the Mexican war, Col. Ruffn volun-
eered defend his country, and elected Colonel
of Of the Nilsson ri Regiments mustered into
vice Fort Leavenworth. Hence his military title,
and hence may also learn the unbounded conf
dence with which the Missouri soldiers regarded him,
when they chose him for their leader in the momen-
tou5 strfes of the field of blood This is but in
stance of many in which the people have expressed
their high appreciation of the TALENT integrity, and
high sense OF honor for which Col. Rnffn is distiE-
gushed. He has never failed of success, and We
predict for him pleasant campaign, pretty
hard fight, and certain victory.

INTERESTING FROM CALIFORNIA. Among the news
received from the Land of Gold by the last arrival,
we have some Interesting information to our for
young and estimable townsrnan. Robt. L. Saun-
Gprs Esq lie is member of the House OF Assem-
bly, of the State of Cali oInla from Butte county, and
the recent session took high stand for Intell-
gence, energy, and ability. From the 3!l1 CG/or-
ma, perceive that lie had submitted several OF the
important propositions measures OF the ses-
sion. One Of these is act provide for the Re-
vision and Amendment of the Statutes OF the State,
aud much credit is awarded 10 Mr. Saunders for the
oriTinaton and support of the bill.
Bat the most Important measure brought before
the California Legislature, by Mr.. Saunders is -
Bill respecting persons escaping from the service OF
their masters copy OF this bill hasbeen forwar
ded us, and we have read it with strong interest," on
OF the important character OF its provisions
II is a Fugitive Slave Law, for California. The first
section provides that when any person held to SER
any State territory shall escape into Cator
MIA, upon complaint judge justice, the latter
shall issue warrant for his arrest, and try the
Piant, and upon satisfactory proof grant certificate
for his removal by the pers1n entitled 10 his service
The second section extends the law to persons
bound 10 service, brought into the State, before her
adm 6 sion into the Union.
The third section imposes fine Ct $4,000 upon any
person obsructing the execution of the law, and the
fourth imposes fine of j 1000 officers eglecting
TO execute it.
This bill was introduced into the House on the
10Th of April, and, though it met with considerable
opposition, was passed without amendment. 1t was
thought it would pass the Senate.
The adoption of such bill this is just what is
due from all the non slaveoding States to their con-
tederaies, and it is pleasing to that California, at
the Instance Of Alabaman, is disposed do act
of such ev ident justice and international comfy. 1t
augurs tina; there is better feeling there towards
domestic institution than our enemies have tried to
produce, and we should not be surprised to the
Gold State ere long estabishingit for herself.

The Charlotte Journal admits that Gen. Dockery
once praised himself through Raleigh newspaper,
of" frmness of purpose and great strength
of intellect but pleads in justification of this, the
charge that Maj Caldwell is in the habit of prasing
himself before the crowd This charge carries its
refutation upon its face. No man, with two grains
of sense. will believe it. Gen. DockeTy's minions
must be very hard run when they have to invent
fasehoods against Maj. Caldwell as excuses for the
ridiculous figures which the General in his olun
Jehag-to say nothing of his Is firmness of purpose
and great strength of intellect
