OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES.

| Our venerable friend of the Wilmington CONNER
cial went to sleep several since and wax
ing up, week two ago, perpetrated the following
| "THE JEFFERsoNIAN. We learn that the Neck
Lenburg Jeersonidn printed at ChnrLoe in this State,
has been discontnued-is dead. 1t was conducted
with considerable ability, and considered it one
of the frmest of our periodicals. Its politics was
Democratic, and on the Southern question it Joined
we believe, the most excited portion of those who
defend Southern rights"
He went to sleep again, aroused as before.
and forthwith wrote again the same subject as
follows:
"THE JEFFERsoNIAN We noticed the discontin-
uance of the Jfersoian in our last-having received
the day BEFORE the first notice from the Postmas-
ter at Charlotte that it not taken out. That pa
per was published by our neighbor, Mr.. Fulton of
the Journal, who has been here year, MORE 1t
is case of absence of mind on our part, and case
of something of the same sort in the Postmaster at
Charlotte
This is just as rich possible. After such dis
play, we not surprised at the of our
cradle friend towards us the Slavery question.
Some three weeks since he pleased to no.
tice an article of ours, headed {" How to the
Union -; and he did so in a style which impressed
us with the belief that together the ques-
ton. On that occasion he said-quoting portion
of our artice-that he /" liked" our language, and
he added
.We shall be glad to see Mr.. HOLDEN pursue this
subject, in the spirit and in like rational man.
But we hope, for the sake of the cause of the
South, and of the Union. far as his influence ex-
tends he will keep out of this discussion the awful
and preposterous political humbug, conveyed to the
mind in the words. 6 the Dsmocracy.''
But, waking up again to party Interests, in his pa
per of the 31st May, he says:
"We had misgivings when we spoke, on
Thursday, in terms of commentator of the remarks
of friend HOLDEN of the Standard, on the slave
ry question. We find it but CLEAN of sun
shine. amid the gloom of party despotsm. and that
the of the South has nothing to hope from that
portion of the Democratic Party of North Carolina,
who constitute the IS army proper being under the
drill and management of the Raleigh Junto.''
Our venerable friend must excuse US if we hint
the belief that he is decidedly nappy Party feeling
and his dislike of :" the Democracy have involved
him in " limbo, vast and large,'' in which he sees
nothing clearly, nor holds to any view opinion
with assurance certainty. We beseech him to
stay awake, and look into this Slavery question with
new pair of spectaces and without prejudice.
Should he do this, he will find nothing to complain
of in our course. We have uniformly held the same
language on this subject, the columns of this jour
nal will show.

MR.. wEBsTER's SPEECH.

The Register of the 9TH instant contains no au-
sion to Mr.. Webster's Buffalo Speech. We publish
ed it in last but that paper has neither given the
Speech to its readers commented upon it. We
shall see what the Editor has say about it in his
issue of to-day, if indeed he should deem it prudent
to notice it at all.
The National Era, the organ of the Abolitionsts
in Washington City, says:
eve have not room for the speech, of which we
have given fair outline. 1t is in Mr.. Webster's
usual commanding style, and affrms no principal re-
pugnantto any of his declarations in the memorable
speech referred to. But, by carefully enlargng up
on those parts of his public career in which he has
opposed the extension of slavery, and by throwing
in many generous sentiments in favor of human free
dom, sample of which we have given in the last
quoted extract, he must appeared before the peo-
pie of Buffalo in very different light from that IN
which some two years ago, he appeared to US In the
capitol. How his Southern friends will receive his
reiterated declarations of hostility to the extension OF
slavery, and his expression of regret that Congress
has power to act upon the evil in the States where
it exists, remains to be SEEM

SUMNER AND SEWARD

The Raleigh Register copies one of Summers let
tiers, with the view of showing that he is Democrat
and hostile TO Mr.. Fillmores Administration. This
is a small game. We have forbone, for some time.
to allude to party in connection with the Slavery
question and only do it now in sefdefence. 1t is
question which rises far above party and both sides
in the South should be careful to say any thing
about calculated still further to distract and divide
our people, When the shock comes, if come it must.
the South will need every arm that can be mustered
in her defence.
we know not what Sumner is, do care
He was elected to the Senate by coalition, formed
oy portion oil the Democrats, portion of the Wings,
and all the Abooniss proper of Massa ehusetts and
this COALITION notwithstanding the statement to the
contrary in the last Register, denounced and ex-
posed at the time. The true state of the in Mas
sachusets is this: About Democrat in ten in that
State is sound upon the Slavery question; but the
balance of that party, and all other parties in that
State, including of course the Whigs are rotten upon
the subject. That is the TRUTH and we challenge the
Register to show the contrary Will that paper point
US to one Wing in that State who is disposed to
do the South justice on the Slavery question
But as the Register wiHhave comparisons-as that
paper ciH drag this question into party politics, we
beg leave to make little quotation which of itself
speaks volumes. At the last State Convention of
the New York Wings, lMr. Fillmore's state,) held
last FALL the following Resolution was adopted by
large majority:
6 Resofved, That our thanks are especiaHu due to
the Hon. VIM. H. Seward, TO. the signal ability and
fidelity with which he has sustained in the United
States Senate, those beloved PRINCIPLES of public nocy
so long cherished by the Wings of the Empire State
as expressed in their State conventions as well as in
the votes and instructions of State Legislature
Those principles emnently national and republi-
can. because they are just and equitable.''
The Raleigh Register ought to be the last paper
to charge unsoundness upon Northern Democrats
upon the Slavery question. For years, while the
Democratic party were taking the true ground upon
this question in their National Conventions and while
the Wing party in their National Conventions re-
fused to touch the question, the Register, and
many Southern Wings and Southern newspapers,
were engaged In charging hypocrisy this very
Democracy for party purposes, and in contributing
their strength to Danish them from public life. In
one quarter of the Union, Webster and his allies
would denounce them obedient vassas of the slave
power, while here his hands were strengthened in
this warfare by the cry that these Democrats were
only protesting to be sound, and dishonest and
thus thousands of friends in the free States were
repeled-driven off from aid and compelled eth
er to be silent or join the ranks of our enemies!
We challenge the Raleigh Register to dispute or
TO meet these facts.

THE TWO Brothers. 1t is not many years since
two young men, without MEANS started in life. They
were both brothers, and both printers Both subse-
quently abandoned their professionalism having
earned public confidence in the editorial chair-and
since then they have pursued almost the career,
and, though resident in different States, to have
gone together, filling nearly the same public posi-
lions, and winning all hearts by the gentle suavity
and steady consistency Of their character and conduct
Both are still very young men and yet it is more
than probsbe that both will in few months rise
the gubernatoIial chairs of Pennsylvania the Caifor-
mia of the Atlantic, and California the Pennsylvania
of the Pacific. The brothers alluded toare William
and John Bigler-now the conceded favoriles for
the highest honors of their respective States, and
the admitted choice of the democratic party in EACH
The parallel will no doubt be completed when each
is as each will be chosen to fill the posts for which
they candidates. Their past history is guaran-
tee that they will 90 on, with equal march and
falering devotion, in the fulfllment Of their high
duties.
There is in this picture much of encouragement to
the poor young man. Both of these brothers Bigler
started life without money, and almost without friends.
No academic honors crowned their earlier manhood
luxurious habits enervated their frames-no veal
thy friends encouraged their first essays in life. In
the battle of the world they fought with weapons
but those furnished by their own indomitable ener-
gies In the struggles for subsistence they CLEANED
more knowledge from men than from books, while
in the acquisition of money came also the golden
opinions of troops of friends. Let the young man
who would despond over his own future take heart
from this example, and try TO initiate the two broth
ers. Pennsylvanian.

ONYxEs, CANOES, &c. All the precious stones of
the semitransparent and Opaque varieties, which
strated in different colored layers, known to la
pidaries by the general name of onyx. Thus there
is the onyx of the sard sardonyx, the oynx of the
carnelian, carnelonyx. and SO on through the whole
variety of stones. The name Onyr is derived from
Greek word, which signifies nail (fnger-nail; j md
the stone is so called from its resemblance to tho
stained, or died nails Of the bellies of the Eastern
Harems. If the stains only applied at distant
intervals of time, the lower portions of the nail would
grow out between the applications, presenting band
of white at the bottom of the coloIed nail, and thus
render it fair type of the onyx stone. Travellers
who have visited those Eastern nations, where the
practice of staining the nails is still continued agree
in stating that the nails commonly present two coors
exactly resembling onyx. The most valuable
canoes or intaglios, are cut from these so-caled
onvr-stones some of the best executed designs, are
in the estimation of Jewellers of immense value. The
common canoes made out of the conch- SHE'LL or
strobs, the most beautiful being cut from the black
conch, which is a common shell in the West India
and South Pacific Islands, and resemble somewhat
the onyx stones, the different strata being Of var-
ous colorS.

The Nicksburg Sentinel says that General G. D.
Mitchell, of that county, has received letter from
London acknowledging the receipt, in good order
and uninured of cotton-stak which he sent to the
Worlds Fair. 1t is full FIVE feet in height, and six
feet in diameter, from the extremites of the limbs
1t contains over $50 boles entirely open, and not

granae species, which Gen. Mitchell has brought
great perfection. This specimen, it is thought, will
put end to the British notion of superced;ng the
use of Southern cotton, by flax, by the vastly in
ferior article brought from India and Egypt.

EPISCOPAL CONVENTION.

The Fayetteville Observer of June Sd contains the
following in relation to this Convention:
ssThe attendance upon the Convention was much
more full than has ever before, we believe, been
known in the Diocese.
This was caused by the troubles which have occur,
ed within the last three years in regard to alleged
Bishop and some of the Clergy.-chiefy or altoge-
Their those brought here from other States. The Bis
hop has made to this Convention full and most en-
phatc retracton of all those offensive doctrines ana
practices, which he attributes mainly violent dsea
ses which prostrated his mental and physical sys-
tenn.
While we write this, Con Monday,) a proposition
is pending to appoint assistant Bishop
P. The resolutions in regard to an ASSISTANT
Bishop have been Withdrawn, and satisfactory ar
rangernent of all difficulties has been unanimously
agreed to- under circumstances of impressive soem-
nity.''

Representative who has never shrunk from the dis
charge of his Duty and who aUeH deserves the hearty
approbation and best wishes of his constituents.

A WILD MAN OF THE WOODS. The Memphis

information, lest he should not be credited until the
account Of Mr.. Hamilton and his friend placed the
existence of the animal beyond cavil.
great deal of interest is felt in the matter by the
inhabitants Of that region, and various conjectures
have been ventured in regard to him. The most gen.
orally entertained idea appears to be that he was
survivor of the earthquake disaster which desolated
that region in 1911. Thrown helpless upon the will
