am very sorry indeed, that the principal Ed
itor of the Weekly Post has seen proper to make
such n harsh and unceremonious attack upon the
Maine Law. | read the piece over and over
again, before | was willing to believe that it was
an editorial. l could SCARCELY believe my W
eyes. And | am even now almost ready to think
that Mr.. Wiley was laboring under some %infatu-
alton, or had just been imperfectly aroused up
from some reverie, and hurriedly rubbed up his
eyes a little, put on his green goggles and went
Immediately to cutting and flashing away with
his steel pointed pen, against, he knew not ex-
actly what, and thus that unmerciful act was
inadvertently perpetrated, which brought forth
a production that has disgraced the columns of
a popular and widely extended family journal.
If he does not retract somewhat and knock un-
der a little, he will receive unmistakable proofs
at the commencement of his second editorial
year, by the Ealing off in his subscription list,
that the people Of the old North State are far
more wide awake to their own dignity and in
terests, than he had imagined they were.
| have used some efforts. as you know, to place
the Post on a permanent basis, but, sir, l must
as a conscientious man, having the general good
of my fellow men in view, withdraw my inhu-
ence from that paper, fit continues to supper
and defend the sentiments put forth in the edi-
torial alluded to.
l shall look with much anxiety for the reply
of Mr.. Wiley to ANXIOUS Of Newbern. Til
then | shall say no more.
Yours truly, DAVIDSON.

s. NJ. Hewlett arrived in Shelby, on the 9Th
July and left for Lincolnton on the 9th. At one
o'clock on the 9Th he delivered a lecture which
occupied some two hours. displaying an infinite
fund OF humour and Illustration. The effects of
this lecture, we are happy to state, arelikely to
be very beneficial in removing many Of the pref
udices which subsist (here as elsewhere) against

The 9Th year will open on the 1st of Sep,em-
Der. The entire expense in any Of the COLLEGE
ate classes is $3.50 a year, or $50 for half the
term ofive months. The ornamental branches
are at equally moderate prices.
The examination developed TO a very hieh
degree the advantages Of the plan which Prof.
Morgan has long ~practised in the training Of
youth. 1t was manifest TO every observer that
the young Ladies ofthe graduating class were of
a high order of mind well instructed. Their
polish ofmsnner and evident th~oroughness in
the several studies, their command of language,
and skill and taste in the ornamental branches,
could not but be the result of a well devised sys.

AFFECTING ANEcDoTE.-On one of the many
of father and son. Both were, for some offence
against the State, condemned to die. Some ia
vorable circumstances appearing on the side Of
the son, he was offered pardon on the condition
that he would become the executioner of his
father! He at first resolutely refused to pre-
serve his life by means SO fatal and detestabe.
The son, though long infexible, was at length
overcome by the tears and entreaties Of fond
father who represented to him that, at all events
his THE fathers) life was forfeited, and that it
would be the greatest possible consolation to him
in his last moments TO think that in his death,
he was the instrument of his sons preservation.
The youth consented to adopt the horrible means
of recovering his life and liberty he lifted the
axe, but, as it was about TO fall, his arm sunk
nerveless, and the axe dropped from his hand
Had he as many lives as hairs, he could have
yielded them all, one after another, rather than
again conceive, much less perpetrate, such an act
Life, liberty, everything, vanished before the
dearer interest Of li5l affection; he fell upon his
fathers neck, and, embracing him, triumphantly
exclaimed, my father my father we will die
together ~ and then called for another execu-
toner to fulfil the sentence Of the law. .a,
A sudden peal Of involuntary applause, mixed
with groans and signs, rent the air. The execu-
ton was suspended, and, on simple representa-
ton of the transaction, both were pardoned
hign rewards and honors were conferred on the
son and, finally these two admirable brazen
images were raised. The statue represents the
son in the very act of letting fall the axe.

BALTIMORE, May 1l-l0p. II.
The Roman Catholic National Council is still
in sessionhere. The deliberations, however, are
private, and cannot pretend to say what it has
DONE
There have been some tolerably heavy com
mercial failures i'll our city within the past fort
night. Such is the fate Of commerce as well as
war. Some prosper, whilst others, equally meri-
torious, do not succeed. cannot divine why it
is that men, becoming unfortunate IN the routine
of ordinary daily business, should have their
names handed about in the papers as having
failed. The necessity of having to fail is bad
enough; then why add modification to misfor-
tune by publishing, as news items, the names Of
parties broken up in business? The correspon-
dent who does such things, and the paper pub
fishing them, evince morbed taste and want of
decent respect. No good is intended by such
correspondence or publications. The disposition
to do it argues low, grovelling appetite to PAN
der to the very worst tastes.
/ am induced to make these remarks from
having seen dispatches in various papers in the
North, giving the names of some parties recently
bankrupt in our city. Injustice is done them
from Misrepresentation. No one knows their
true condition better than themselves and the
correspondent, ashamed to apply to the fountain
head for reliable information lest he might be
chastised for impudence, hap-hazard sends off,
on the wings of lightning, falsehoods and mis-
statements calculated to do much injury.
The new tragedy of DE Solo," written by
our young, talented townsman, George II. Miles,
author of the prize tragedy of Mohammed, is
being performed at Holiday Theatre, by
Mr.. Murdoch, to full and fashionable houses. 1t
is certainly highly meritorious production, and
cannot fail to interest the beholder The part of
De Soto, by Mr.. Murdoch, is full of thrilling in
terest-indeed the entire piece is master pro-
duction Your citizens will doubtless have the
pleasure of seeing it before long, as Mr.. NJ. in
tends filling an engagement at Washington.

Welcomed and watched the springing green,

The fair white blossoms of the wood

Upon the woodlands morning airs
The small birds mingled notes are flung;

Once babe me listen while they sung,
