sit appears that Fillmore md Webster
are determined not to be oversloughed by
by Gen. Scott, and that movements are
on foot to unite the friends Of the President
and~his Secretary against those of-the-
Major General.
Z The Oopmanderin.chiefaand the god
like Daniel, have each strong friends, and
if united against Scott, may prove fatal to
his prospects. ,.H~
In the event Of either of these gentlemen
failing to receive the nomination, it is said
they will endeavor to concentrate their
forces on Senator Jones, Of Tennessee, or
John J. Crittenden, Of Kentuckg Itis
also said that Hon John M, Bolts, Of
Virginia, who IS at present on. a visit to
this city for the purpose of attending his
dying friend, Mr.. Clay, has declared that
in no event will the Clay Wings ever con
sent to vote for Gen. Scott. The new
aspect Of affairs appears to render it
exceedingly doubtful whether Scott can
now receive the nomination or not. 3

Mr.. HosHSR SroRR1Ns:
Dear Cousin--Seur favour of the pre-
sent inst. has just reached me. | have
left Georgia, and have engaged to peddle
in Caldwell County for man who lives
in Charlotte. In coming from Charlotte
here, my Boss (for he came with mel and
| came through Newton; which place is
improving at brisk rate. The people.of
th1t place think they will connect th't
place with Charlotte by Plank Road by
way of Lincolnton. They are now plac-
ing the Timber on a beautiful site for a
College at Newton, and have school now
in operation, conducted by two Classical
Scholars-the one from New York and
tho other from Philadelphia-and have
now forty boarding pupils in anticipation
Of their college, which they hope soon to
have in readiness.
made particular inquiries about Corn
as | came up; they are asking 81 in most
parts ofCatawba, though heard of some
80 bushels offering at rs cents near New
ton; though there is little offering in this
up country at any price, yet in the upper
part of this County some corn can still be
had at 80 cents.
This place, Lenoir, is growing up in the
midst of little mountains, and already sur
passes in elegance, and equals in size
either Monroe or Lancastcrville, and has
finer hotel than any in Camden. This
may surprise you perhaps, and l must say
it did me greatly and if You doubt it, just
come up here to spend the summer, and
enjoy the pleasing reality. There was
considerable frost here this morning, anC
all manner of vegetation is very backward
l 1crosscd the Catawba at the Horse Fore
on the goth inst, and have not seen an,
Corn up since.
l wish had time, Hoshcr, to tell vo,
what / have seen and heard since hav,
been among the mountains. This | will
defer though till my next. My Boss tool
out license for me yesterday, to peddl,
goods in this County. We sold some a
auction yesterday, and you ought to hav,
seen the natives in crowd of some fiv,
hundred pressing on us, till zoe couIFnt gi
ourtrethe IN the strete, (as yon say.) An,
finally, Boss had to dismiss the sale t,
keep them from breaking down our wag
gon they having climbed in it, on it ant
all over it, like pigs on a corn pile.
In my next will tell you something
about the gals up here, some of whom ar,
very pretty; and as expect to marry a.
quick as 1 can, want you not to writ,
anything in future that will not be fl
for my wife to see.
Address me in future at Lenoir, Nc
and | will drop yop, a line from my par
of the country whenever the speri4 ,Eays
me. Your Cousin, o.. -

roots threw them aside, where they were pick

we are informed, about thrce and five years.
The. children were playings with Them sfof
some time, and no doubt chewed and swal-
lowed portions of the root. After a short
time the youngest returned to its mother,
and lying down near where she was sitting
fell into sumber, as she supposed. After
a while she called to awake her child but in
effectualy. She stopped down to raise it
up, but it was dead. The elder child WIS

hours was also in the land of spirits. Thus
in few brief hours, Death bore off two love
