Tho Legislature of this State, the 2Sth of April,
1852, passed law approprating 900 for that year
to constitute in part a colonization fund and to be
applied to the colonization of negroes and malattoes
who in the State at the time of the adoption of
the presen constitution, and their descendants
1t was directed that of this sum three thousand
dollars should be used, under the direction of the
State Board of Colonization, consisting of the Gov
ernor, Auditor and Treasurer, for the purchase of
land in Africa, to be styled the Indiana Colony which
should be divided into one hundred acre lots and
given to the negroes and mulattoes who should emi-
CRATE from this State to Africa and occupy the tracts
of land given them. All colored persons who had
heretofore emigrated to Africa from this State were
also declared to be entitled to one hundred acres of
land upon the same terms
The State Board of Colonization as soon as the
law went into force authorized President Roberts OF
Liberia to select as large quantity of land the
$4,000 would buy in healthy eligible part of the
country, and make patent for it to the State when
the money would be paid him. We believe that ar
rangements for the purchase of the land have not
yet been completed, but are progressing.
The State Board were also authorized to pay fifty
dollars out of the colonization fund to each negro
mulatto desiring to emgrate from this State to Afr
who should need the aid. At the session of 1853
the Legislature appropriated for colonization purpo
ses, $4,000 per arhum for the years 1853 and 1854.
We understand that number of colored persons
have gone to the Indiana colony under the provi-
sions of this law and that others constantly de-
parting indianapolis Sentinel

Political masters serve "the good people of the
State" and the Sons of Temperance very much as
certain farmers treat their oxen; they call them
fine fellows, pet them fondly, slip the yoke upon
their necks drive them high and low, and when the
days work is DONE they turn them out to grass. For
one, tired of all SUCH Spirit Of the Age.
The above is from the organ-not of the temper
ance men-but of the total abstinence and prohibi-
tory law men of North Carolina. We pronounce it
unadulterated Federalism. The Editor of the Age
is Whig, but he had been quite successful up to
the penning of this article in steering clear of poll
tics. But the pitcher which sent often to the
well was at last broken Ever since the days of
the elder Adams and of the alien and sedition laws
it has been the habit of the Federasts thus to speak
of the people. They regard them dangerous to
themselves, and hence they constantly urging
laws to protect them against themselves; and they
speak of them frequently in this case subjects
to be "yoked" and driven about by "politcal mas
ters."
Now the people of this country know no "pot-
cal masters. They are, themselves, the masters;
they govern themselves, and politicians and public
are their servants. Any other doctrine, mat
ter by whom advanced, is foreign from the nature
of our institutions-is Federalism of the strongest
stamp.

:f5' We observed several faint red lines in the
Southern sky on Wednesday evening, and could &C
count for them only the supposition that Jewetts
comet had struck the South pole and scattered the
splinters along the heavens OF course the poles,
from the rapid motion of the earth, always red
hot; and spntcrs thcrefrom would probably present
reddish appearance. This comet was to have struck
the earth about the centre, and the Atlantic ocean,
it was thought at one time, was in danger but the
impression to be that it has either struck
somewhere out South or rctrcated further off into
space for the purpose of acquiring proper impetus
for grand strike, of which Prof. Jewett will please
take notice. 1t is expected, all hands, that he
will be polite enough to designate the time.
The New York Express and other journals, it is
supposed, have been less quizzed for fire.

a question, it must be confessed of Importance

much concerned, of late, with the spiritual manifes
vance of eciting any thing this subject from him.
By the way, it is positively stated that Armstrong

him "drawed !" it's dagger" on him; and as it was,
he left his ailors bill unpaid. 1t is expected, how
ever, that he will remit the amount by check at an
early day.

FIRE-DwELLING OF JUDGE MASON DESTROYED
Yesterday morning, between the hours of one and
two O'Clock, the large and valuable brick dwelling
house of Judge John Y. Mason, the corner of
Franklin and Adams streets, destroyed by fire,
with large portion of its valuable contents. The
fire first discovered by gentleman passing along
the street in front of the house. He gave the alarm
and the Judge discovering the flames, which had ap
parently made butttle progress in the fourth gar
ret story of the house. proceeded to that point with
assistants with buckets of water in the hope of
resting the flames On opening the door of the room
in which the fire was discovered, the flames and smoke
came rushing out and forbade their entrance. The
Judge then Immediately turned his attention to sa-
wing what he could from the devouring element The
safety of his family, (which there about doz

was first attended to. In the next place, assisted by
many kind friends, the work of removing the furni
ture, BEDS &C., commenced large quantity ofval-
liable furniture and other articles pertaining to house
keeping, removed from the lower stories to the
yard. In the two upper stories, nearly everything
was destroyed, including furniture, large amount
of bed clothing carpetng, and variety of other
tices of value amounting in the aggregate to the val
of about three thousand dollars, which is a clear

the fire was discovered.
Many family relics were destroyed, highly valued
by their several owners. The Judge lost number
of highly -przed presents received from friends du-

Navy at Washington. He bears his losses, however,
with characteristic good humor, thankful that the ca

RAILROAD COLLISION. We understand collision
occurred on the Petersburg and Roanoke Railroad
yesterday, caused by two freight trains coming to-

sex. No person was injured, but the two engines,

bly, broken. One was coming North, the other South,
but misunderstanding existed between the engi-
neers to the arrangements of one another. Hence

lina This is well. Last year, or the year before,
he reported, we believe, to the Virginia Assembly,
that he had lost but eighteen days from the service
of that State in attending to his engagements in this
State for which he was paid So 900! We know that
up to late PERIOD contractors and others have been
required to wait upon Maj. Gwynn in Richmond for
instructions, &C.; and we hope shall be pardoned
the expression of qualification that the office of
the Chief Engineer of great North Carolina work
has at length been removed from the capital of SIS
ter State, and that shall have no more such re-
ports of only eighteen days absence as the one re-
ferred to.
1t affords us pleasure to refer to these things,
but our duty must be performed, whether pleasant
or not. We know what it was that brought failure
and bankruptcy on the old CASTOR Road-to wit
dleness, inattention and lack Of qualifications the
part of engineers and subordnates, extravagant sal
ries, high prices &c. 1t would be we'll if the mana
gers of our present public works would look more
to the experience of the past, and profit by it.
The Patriots Correspondent, " One that Knows, :"
states falsehood when he says the Standard has
VIRTUALLY taken ground" against the Eastern and
Western extensions. Our fault, in the estimation of
the Patriot and its Correspondents is that we have
thought proper to speak out in relation to the
agement of the affairs of the Central Road; and un-
der the circumstances we are not surprised that we
are misrepresented. This Correspondent, One that

NOVEL. The following novel method of proving

GA gentleman, a stranger in this city, few days
since presented draft check at the counter of one
ofour banking houses payable to we'd say, John
Jones, or order. The teller looked at him moment
and stated in the poitest manner that as lie didn't
know him, reference would be required before the
bill was cashed.
Here was poser. Mr. Jones was an entire stran-
ger in the city, he wanted the money and was going
to leave that afternoon, he assured the gentleman
who stood behind the counter that the whole matter
correct and that he couldn't leave without it
in fact he said he strapped. The teller howev-
er, was inexorable and said he couldn't depart from
the rules of the establishment and that his personal
identity must be proved. At this crisis Mr.. j., after
rubbing his head for some time, suddenly exclaimed
can do it. and at the same time commenced un-
buttoning his vest, and in the twinkling of eye,
in bold Roman letters the bottom of his shirt bos-
he displayed to the eyes of the astonishcd clerk
