Hon. Henry Clay and Gen. Lafayette.

The National InteIigencer of yesterday contains
The following note from Mr.. Clay:
A CoRREcTIoN.-A paragraph is going the round
of the newspapers, stating that the answer of Gen La
fayette to the address which, Speaker of the House
of Representatives, made TO him upon the occasion of
his last visit 10 this country was prepared by me,
though pronounced by him. This is mistake, which,
in justice both to his memory and TO myself, ought TO
be corrected. 1t was composed by himself, as the
style abundantly shows. On the morning Of his 1e-
cepton by the House of Representatives he breakfast
ed with alone, and stated or read to him the ad-
dress which intended TO make to him that day. The
expression in it, that he in The midst of pos
terty reading which remarked to him that would
afford him fine opportunity to pay handsome m
plimen, which he might do by saying: No, and that

with all the high attributes which distinguished his
revolutionary compalriots The General seemed pleas

answer This trivial incident could have been the on

heg@Wc pnblsh in another column, from the
Raleigh Register the decision of the Supreme
Court in the of the Bank of the State of North
Carolina VS.. the Bank of Cape Fear, an amicable
issue, made up to test the constitutionalty of law
of the last General Assembly requiring the Banks of
the State to redeem their issues whenever demanded
without reference to the place where said issues are
made payable. There is also another thing incden-
tally pronounced upon and that is that the issue of
notes under three dollars, is rendered unlawful by
the general statute forbidding the circulation OF
such notes. and consequently that no express restric
ton is necessary in the charter Of any Bank, to rem
der the issue by it of such notes unlawful. This
will bear upon the one and two dollar notes of the
Fayetteville Bank.
We also publish the law, the constitutionality of
which has been called in question.
B9rThe Fayetteville Observer thinks we do other
towns injustice when say that Wilmington is the
most thoroughly North Carolnian of any town in the
State and that her public works are the only ones
calculated to bring trade into the State instead of
carrying it out.
Perhaps We should have said Zone of the most u
etc. We do not want to claim exclusive devotion, or
do injustice to sister towns, but it does seem to
us that the Manchester Railroad is the only work
directly calculated to bring trade into the State
We have not particularly examined some of the new
plank road lines from Fayetteville, and perhaps they
may but unless they do, still hold to our asser
ton that the public works of Wilmington the
ly ones calculated to bring trade into the State.
The Gallon Law IA Mississippi.
We have recently heard the following anecdote con-
nected with the passage through the Mississippi Lee
gslaure, of law fobddng the sale of spritucus Ii
quors in quantities less than gallon. 1t when
McNuu was Governor, and the grave legislators,
though opposed in the main 10 doing anything that
might tend to curtail their creature comforts, still
thought they might gain some cheap glory by passing
the law, since, from knowledge of the old Govern
ors joval habits, they felt certain he would veto it.
They had reckoned without their hosts however for
the venerable signed it presentation remarkng,
with something like an oath, that no gentleman would
think of drinking less than gallon We think the
law has since been repealed perhaps because the STAN
dard of genemanly drinking has been reduced 10
