EMIGRATION STAYED. Our citizens will remember
that few years ago, on each returning fall the high
ways leading west and northwest thronged with
movers leaving their native land, to seek home in
distant part of the Union, carrying with them the
sources of wealth, (money and labor) and making
the heart of the patriot sick for the desolaton that
seemed to await the Old North State But the tide
of emigration is being turned back to beloved
land. brighter day is dawnng; real estate is in
creasng in value; new sources of wealth are being
developed il almost all parts of the State and many
who had left it in despair returning to the land
that gave them birth We incidently heard the 9TH
day a remark from gentleman who resides
one of the leading roads between here and the north
west that there had passed by his house this fall,
upon average, three returning to one leaving the
State And what caused this gratifying change, but
the spirit of Internal Improvement that has partially
reused our people from their ethargy, and the min
eral wealth that is daily being developed in almost
all parts of our State? And seeing the beneficial
results of the Improvements completed and in pro-
gress, who among be found to clog the enter
prise of people in their further efforts to extend
to all parts of the State the benefits derived by those
through which the Rail and Plank Roads pass?

The DARDANELLEs The old gates of Janus were
opened when Rome was at war; and their modern
prototypes, the Dardaneles Straits, open only
when state OF war makes treaty stipulations void,
and the Porte deems it to be necessary to admit his
allies through them to protect his capital The &C
counts we have are that they are open for the
passage of the British and French fleets
The Dardanelles, from which the Strait, or Hells-
pont derives its name, four strong castles built
opposite to each the European and Asiatc coasts
and are the keys of Constantinople. Two of these
castles, the old castles, were raised by Mahommed
III, soon after the conquest of Constantinople, in
1903; the other two, the castles were built in
the middle of the 18th century, to protect the Turks
against the Venetians. The latter command the en-
trance to the Hellespont and the distance from each
is about two miles and quarter; in hours sail up
the strait the old castles which about three
quarters of a mile apart. These are well mounted
with formidable batteries. All along the European
shore to the Marmora the aspect of nature in its rug
gedness corresponds with the frown of the guns;
but the scenery on the Asiatic shore is beautiful
The region abounds, too in places famous in classic
story. Here it was Leander paid his nightly visit to
Hero here the Inflated hosts of Xerxes crossed on
bridge of boats here Solomon crossed on a bare
rail; and, in modern time, here Byron swan from
Sestos to Alydos.
These famous straits have been more than once
passed. In ITO the Russian squadron, under Ell
phlstone appeared before the tower castles and the
admiral actually went by without damage But the
other ships did not follow him and he returned with
drums and trumpets sounding British fleet un-

ing an account of this fact acknowledges that he
narrow chance He set sail on the morning of the
18th of February. At quarter before nine, the
whole squadron, under tremendous fire, had pass
ed the outer castles at hafpast nine the leading Ship
the Campus, entered the narrow passage of Sestos
and Alydos, under heavy cannonade from both cas-
ties receiving stone shot of 800 pounds weight Each
ship, passed had to endure this cannonade The
admiral remained before Constantnope until the Sd
of March, when his squadron of ten ships returned.
In this interval the Turks had been busy thatthe
castles were made ''doubly formidable" The admit
raj weighed anchor in the morning of this day. and
every ship was in safety outside the passage about
noon" The admiral in his dispatch expresses his
most lively sense of his good fortune, and admits
that had the Turks been allowed week longer, it
would have been very doubtful point whether
return would lay open to him at ALL" He lost 40
killed and 235 wounded. The Turks were so indig-
nant at the escape of the British fleet that they be-
lieved that the governor of the Dardanecs was
brbed by Duckworth, and beheaded him.
The Dardanelles are said to be in such formula

PATRICK HENRY A letter writer in the Memphis
Appeal gives the following briefand interesting sketch
of Patrick Henry:
I'm his habits of living he was remarkable temper
ate and frugal. He seldom drank anything but wa
ter, and his table was furnished in the most simple
manner His morals strict. As husband,
father, master, he had no superior. He was kind
and hospitabe to the stranger and most friendly and
accommodating to his neghbors He was nearly six
feet high spare, and what may be called raw-boned,
with slight stoop of the shoulders his complexion
was dark, sunburnt, and saow, without any appear
of blood in his cheeks his countenance grave,
thoughtful, and penetrating, and strongly marked
with the ineaments of deep reflection; the earnest
of his manner, united with habitual contrac-
ton knitting of his brows, and those lines of
thought with which his face profusely furrowed
gave to his countenance, at some times, the appear
ance of severity. Henry gifted with strong
and musical voice, and most expressive counten-
ance and he acquired particular skill in the of
them His style of speaking, to judge from the
presentations of his hearers, was altogether more
successful than that of his contemporaries He could
be vehement insinuating, humorous and sarcastic
by turns and always with the utmost effect. He
a natural orator, Of the highest ORDER combining i'm
agnation, acuteness, dexterity, and ingenuity, with
the most forcbe action and extraordinary powers of
face and uttcrance. As statesman, his principal
merits sagacity and boldness. His name is
brilliantly and lasngly connected with the history
of his country's emancipation.

Political FEELING SPAIN-INsULr THE QUEEN
Private letters received in New York from Madrid
the 10Th of October concur in mentioning that the
symptoms of public indignation are becoming more
frequent and were unequivocally expressed. One of
the letters speaks of incident of ordinary kind
which took place at the opera the 18th. Her maj

tom long after the performance commenced, but the
piece was suspended in order to play the" MARSHA

THANKSGIVING In THE OLDEN TINES. The follow
ing queer paragraph about old time thanksgiving
we take from history of Coos county, in New
Hampshire, published some years since, by Rev.
Grant Powers. A. NJ, c. H. S." garrulous, pious,
good natured, simple minded country parson. 1t was
a singular state of things when great festival
thanksgiving could be deferred on account of def
cheney of molasses:
Early in the settlement of Coos it so happened
that the annual thanksgiving passed before in
telligence of it arrived there but after, Dr.
White came up to visit his friends at Newbury and
brought with him proclamation. This proclama-
ton was read publicly on the Sabbath by Mr. Pow
ers and by him it proposed that they should
keep thanksgiving, Notwithstanding the time spec
flied by the governor passed, and he proposed
the next Thursday. Upon this member arose and
gravely proposed that might be deferred longer
for said he, there is not drop of moasses in the
town. and we know how important it is to have mo-
lasses to keep thanksgiving My boys have gone to
No 4, and will be back, probably, by the beginning
of next week, and they will bring molasses; and it
had better be put off till next Thursday week. 1t
was unanimously agreed to; but the molasses not
coming it deferred another week; and finally,
thanksgiving kept without molasses This,
which is enough to provoke smile, will nevertheless
show the simplicity and restitution of those
days"

The daughters of my fathers house -
They were not over fair, 40
But one of them had loving eyes,
And soft and shining hair.
Her cheek was like the pale blush rose,
Her smile was like the sun,
Her brow, it was the flirest thing
You ever looked upon.
She foated like a fairy sylph
Along the joyous dance
An angels soul was on her brow,
And heaven was in her glance.
Her foot was like the tiny wing
That bears the tiny bird :;
Her voice was ike its carrolling,
Among the myrtles heard.
would that you had seen her when,
The loveliest of them all,
She sported through the happy band,
That filled my fathers hall
She was the darling little lamb
Our mother most caressed,
And II loved her as the soul
That sorrows in my breast
She was the jewel in the chain
That bound me to this earth;
That last sweet memory of the reign
Of childhood and of mirth-
The shrine wherein my spirit laid
Her frankincense and myrrh;
And can never love again,
As have worshipped her.
But she is sleeping sadly now
Where willow leaflets fall;
And long green grasses wildly wave
Around my fathers hall.
