Judge Smith examined the route with a
view to the practicability of Railroad to the

side.

The Calls Tail and the Auger-Hole.

The North Carolina Argus tells the fol-
lowing capital story, for which it is indebted
to the stump speech of the Virginia men,
Der Of Congress. We have read Moth
ing that has called our cashionatory muscles
more violently into play for long while:
"The proprietor Of a tan yard, adiacent to
a certain town in Virginia, concluded to
build stand or sort Of store, on one side of
of the main streets, for the purpose of vend-
ing his leather, buying raw hides and the
like. After completing his building, he be-
gan to consider what sort Of sign it was
best to put up for the purpose of attracting
attention to his new establishment; and for
some days and weeks he was sorely puzzled
on this subject. Several devices were
adopted, and upon further consideration
were rejected. At last happy idea struck
him. He bored an auger hole through the
door post, and stuck a calfs tail into it, with
the bushy end Haunting out. After while,
he noticed a grave looking parsonage stand
ing near the door, with his spectacles gazing
intensely on the sign. And there he con-
tinued TO stand gazing and gazing, until the
curiosity of the farmer was greatly excited
in turn. He stepped out and addressed the
individual: "Good morning." said he
Morning" said the other, without, moving
his eyes from the sign. ''You want to buy
leather" said the store-keeper.

LOOK BEFORE YOU LEAP.-The editor CT
the Constitutionalst and Republic, of Au-
gusta, (Geo.) who was member of the
Baltimore Convention, denies emphaticallv
that said Convention endorsed or approved
the Compromise measures. He was men,
Der Of the committee that reported the plat
forms, and says that the language used in
" the resolutions was deliberately and care
" fully adopted with the express purpose Of
" droidmg and laudation, or any appearances
" of laudation. Of the Compromise"
This is candid confession, and. so far as
we have been able TO understand the mean
ing Of the resolutions alluded to, is strictly
true.
Here, then. is an open avowal, by one
who knows, that the Convention did not en-
dorse and approve the measures passed by
Congress for the settlement OF the danger
ous and exciting questions connected with
the slavery agitation: and yet we and the
friends of these measures, who stood by the
Union and the Constitution in their support,
are shamelessly told to mount this platiormt
and, under the lead of a standard-bearer that
hates and deplores slavery as much as the

Henry CLAY AND JOHN RAYDopH.-
The Boston Journal thus alludes TO the duel
between John Randolph and Mr.. Clay, an
act which the latter regretted all his life:
The particulars Of the duel are we'll
known. The eccentric descendant of Poca-
hontas appeared on the ground in huge
morning gown. This garment constituted
such a'vast circumference that the locality
ofthe swarthy senator was at least matter
of very vague conjecture. The parties en-
changed shots, and the ball of Mr.. Clay hit
the centre of the visible object. but Mr..
Randolph was not there. The latter had
fired in the air, and Immediately after the
exchange shots, he walked up 10 Mr.. Clay

BEAUTIFUL AND AFTEcrlNG.-The fol-
lowing incident connected with all that re-
mains of earth of Henry Clay, is given by
the Cincinnati Commercial:
As the steamer Ben. Franklin passed the
town of Rising Sun, Indiana, on her way
to Louisville, with the sacred remains OF
Henry Clay on board, thrty-one young la
dies, representing the different States Of the
Union, stood in conspicuous view of the
wharf, in front of the crowd of citizens that
had assembled. All, save one, were dress

Come down and Surrender.

The Democrats take the nomination of
Scott and Graham very sorely, which is not
at all astonishing. An anecdote occurs TO
us, which may convey little wholesome
advice, appropriate to the circumstances in
which they are placed. 1t is told Of an old
hunter whose rifle was never known to miss
its aim. The crack of his piece was certain
death, and consequently his appearance in
the forest never failed TO produce considera-
Bile sensation among the ''inhabitants." The
jest of the story, however, is, that the
"varmints" finally became SO sensible Of his
unerring aim, that whenever he raised his
gun, they left their lofty abodes, quietly
came down the trees and "surrendered al
discretion. Need we expose the point?-
"Old Cheputepec'' is sure shot, and Gen

This account, if correct, places Gen.
Pierce's position with regard to Southern
grounds, little different from what it has
been represented to be, by many of his
Southern friends. 1t is proper to add, how
ever, that in the same speech, he spoke in
favor of maintaining the Compromise, inclu-
ding the Fugitive Slave law, and of the dan
ger to the Union that would ensue if the
law was resisted.

Dear Sir:--The cause of the " Maine
Law" succeeds " brandy" in our city and
vicinity. A majority of the voters in our
city have already given their names to the
petitions for this law, and the cauvassing
is not completed. We have had some in
teresting meetings, largely attended, and
we are astonished at the favor with which
the Maine Law meets among the people.
There is a certain class of society, how
ever who are, or feel themselves secure in
their own abundance of the good things of
this life, and who never come in contact
with its sorrows and its destitutions, who
are above doing good-are not their bro
ther's keeper-do not wish to meddle with
other peoples business-have no conf
dence in the Maine or any other law, to
arrest intemperance and its evils, and think
our efforts will all prove abortive. This
class do not give us their signatures. But
we are thankful that they cannot stop the
wheels of moral reform. No good thing,
of any description, would ever be accom-
plished for the amelioration of human
character and condition, if We were to de-
pend upon those, Who seek nothing but
their own.
Temperance meetings have been held in
Kingston, Londonderry, Clarksburgh, HOl
land, Morris Chapel, Union Church, and
other places in our vicinity, and in al
there has been nearly unanimous sigma
ture given to the petitions. W, T, F.

throughout the Safe, and numerously sign.
ed. Meetings have been held, and State
lecturer has been out on the work. Legis-
lators are now at Baton Rouge with the
petitions of their constituents in their
hands, and more going in. Some say the
new movement will kill US. We will risk
that, If they ask us what we want, we
put the "Maine" question to them, as we
have already placed a copy before every
Judge, Municipal and State Legislator.
The signs of the times, on every hand,
show us that an idea is taking possession
of the public mind here, that intemperance
is an evil, portentous admission for New
Orleans to make. Our municipal Commit
tee on pauperism and destitution, report it
as producing nine-tenths of the suffering
they have found. Our present Grand Jury
have presented it as an evil Of the first mag
nitude. Our Legislature is considering a
bill which will deprive confirmed drunk
ard of all control over his family OF
property.
All these things point one way. Be un.
der no alarm, therefore, dear sir and Bro
for Louisiana. She comes along slowly,
admit, but still she comes. The veteran
soldier, P. G. W. P. James Patterson says
so, and no man knows better, or has done
more to push along the cause in this city
aud State. Respectfully,
