cent national work, in which is to be preserved
characteristic papers from the living authors Of
America. The typography and wood cuts are in
the highest style Of art, and the book will be a
monument Of American mind and Amer lean art
The work will consist of twelve numbers and
when completed, will undoubtedly be the finest
specimen Of book making which has emana-
ted from the American press. The first number
contains tale from Cooper, and poems from Mrs.
Slgourney, Augustine Duganne and W. r. Wal

authors III advised and their themes inappropriate
In . work like this, American subjects should be
selected. We do not want poem on the trials of

Steamer Countess Sunk-A fast. commodious,
and fancy packet boat, the Countess, running be-
tween Memphis and points on the Arkansas and
White rivers--a great favorite in that trade, is
thus mourned by the Memphis Eagle:
She left Memphis on Sunday, the 22d inst, and
the next day, viii e passing through the narrow
chue of Island 66, met The Magnolia coming up
under full Roadway. Turning aside to give way
to the Magnolia, she was thrown by the waves Of
that mammoth steamer upon some logs and drift
wood, which caused her Immediately to sink. 1t
is supposed that her hull is broken, and that she
will be tolal loss. No blame, we learn, attaches
to the Magnolia, which was going so fast, and was
out of sight quick that no one on board noticed
the accident. The news was brought up by the

NORTH CAROLINA HISTORY.

In perusing Wheeler's history of Our State
we have been highly grati6ed to see recorded
the evidences of the reprobation with which
our forefathers viewed the use of intoxicating
drinks. AS far back as 1776, we find this
high sense of moral rectitude prevailing among
the people. The tyrant Tryon was at that
period, by appointment of the British Crown,
Governor of North Carolina. "He ruled the
State with the temper of a despot and the
rod Of a tyrant:" but finding the people OF
North Carolina would not submit to his OPP
pressions, he endeavored to propitiate them at
a general muster, by offering a large barbecue
and had several barrels of beer unheaded for
them. But the people were not to be cajoled
by such acts of hypocrisy; they rushed in a
body to the tables, overthrow the barrels and
spilled the liquor, and threw the barbecue into
the river untasted A laudable example set
to the people of the present day, as to the
course they should pursue towards the dema-
gogues, who under pretence Of love for the
g dear sovereigns," pour the poison down then
threats to cheat them out of the rights of free.
men!
Again-in Orange county, in 1776, a Con.
vention of the people was proposed to be held
to determine upon a redress of their grievances
at some suitable place "where there should b.
no liqror." Here is another example worthy
of imitation. If our Legislatures, Conventions
Courts, &C., were held where no liquor
could be procured, a different state of things
would be presented from those commonly ex
hibited on such occasions.

THANKSGIVING DAY IN AVER
ASBORO'.
CUMBERLAND DIVISION, s. of T.

Thursday last being Thanksgiving Day,
the Sons of Temperance in this locality en-
braced the opportunity which it afforded to
promulgate their principles, and to make
converts to their cause. The suns rising
was hailed with the firing of cannon, and
from an early hour, crowds of people might
be seen vending their way towards the
scene of action. The Sons met at their Di-
vision room at 10 o'clock, and after transac-
ting their usual business, and initiating sew
eras new members, they formed into process
sion, dressed in the Regalia of the Order.
and preceded by a band of music, marched
through the town, receiving the approving
smiles of the beholders as they passed along.
Although some Of the members were absent,
still it was by far the largest procession ever
beheld in Averasboro' before.
After parading the several streets, thew
came to the Church, where a number of la
dies and gentlemen had been waiting to re-
ceive them-many of whom came a very
considerable distance to testify by their pres
ence the interest they felt in the cause
Cheerfulness beamed upon every counter
ance and happiness reigned in every heart.
Bro. Thomas w. Sicily being loudly and
generally called for, arose and delivered a
most forcible and eloquent Address, repIete

T
HOMESTEAD EXEMPTION.

We are pleased to see that a bill has been
introduced into the South Carolina Legisla-
tnre, to increase the amount of property ex-
empt from levy and sale We are in favor OF
a homestead law, which will make a mans
home inalienable to him, except by his own
free will, and thus have an additional tie to
bind him and his children to the soil of his Da-
tivity.
Let the industrious farmer know that the
roof which covers his family and the few acres
that support them are exempt from the con-
sequences of the reverses he may meet, and
you give him fresh energy in his daily toll
you give him additional motives to beautify his
home and improve his farm. Sucha law gives
no license to idleness, for his small tract OF
land will not yield without cultivation, and he
will be unable to maintain himself or his fam
lily without be so cultivates it. Such a law
can give no protection to fraud, for it will at
feet no existing contracts; and all future one:
will be made with a full knowledge on The
part of the creditor that the homestead Of the
farmer affords him no security.
A strong tendency of such a law will be t.
increase the number of landholders, and recen
Investigations in Europe have demonstrated
that such a condition OF things IN an agrlcul
tural community is the best that this class o
citizens, moderate and small landhOlders, Civ,
strength and yigor to agricultural pursuits
and succeed in bringing about the highes
state of improvement of the soil.
But the most beneficial tendency, we think
of such a measure would be to check the EN-
igration of that class of farmers. for who's
protection it is designed. With a house an
small farm guaranteed to him, the desire to g
in search of a new home and fresh lands will b
greatly diminished. and the homestead woul
be cherished to an extent we know nothin,
of in this section. Stability would be given t

An AMERICAN SoLDIER.-We hare heard
men boast of the fighting men of our coun-
try. We do not think much of fighting, but
a great deal of MAN, and we cannot endure
his degradation. Late St. Louis papers state
that a soldier at Jefferson Barracks, named
William Gay, absented himself recently from
the barracks for a day or so, and upon his re-
turn was placed under arrest. Information
of the fact was communicated by a friend in
t1sAsafae company toYGayis mother. a Mrs.
Ann Wood, residing in Alton, who immedi-
ately sued out a writ of habeas corpus. set
ting forth in her petition that Gay was, at the
OF his enlistment and is yet, a minor,
and as such was illegally detained at Jeffer-
son Barracks, and demanding his immediate
release from Major Sandeson. Before the
service of the writ, a court-martial was held
at the barracks, over which Lieut.. Col. Por-
ter presided. Gay pleaded guilty, and the
court sentenced him to a forfeiture of all paw
and allowance due him, to be branded on the
hip with letter ID, to receive fifty lashes on
the bare back well laid on with a raw-hide,
to have his head shaved, and be drummed
out of the service. The sentence uas fiuHy
erecuted early the merit morning. When the
writ OF habeas corpus was served that day,
Major Sanderson returned an answer stating
that no such person as Gay was in his COM
mand.'
We had sooner see every epaulet and gilt
button IN our army and navy torn off and its
wearer sent to the plough-handles, than admit
the right of any human power to inflict up
OF an american citizen any such DEGRADING
punishment as this. If officers of these bran
ches of our service tell us that such things
are essential to the existence Of the two arms
of our defence, then down with discipline
and Oft with both arms! But such declar-
atoms are ISLANDERS upon our countrymen.--
Low wages and degrading treatment may
indeed procure men who will bear the lash
like currish dogs but good wages, and the
discipline that freemen may infict and free
men receive, will insure good men and ODE
dience to our laws.
Down with all notions of economy that
can continue in our service such a burning
disgrace. Raise the pay of the men raise
the standard of true dignity among the Off

things, and be worthy of the name of repub-
Icans. The life of a soldier in the army Of
imperial Rome might be forfeited for no We
ry heinous offence; but even he could not
be degraded by the lash of a petty tyrant in
command. Let republican America not fall
below this in her estimate of the dignity of
her sons. A noble nation, truly, to become
the champion and examplar of freedom
throughout the world!
We are told that Congress must restore
the punishment Of the lash in the navy, and
again permit every snobbish upstart in the
service to belabor the shoulders of the man
under his command. We dare Congress OF
the Executive to appear before the people O
this Union upon such an issue. We dare
them to the re-enactment of such a law.
