to return. On Friday evening a call for meet.

principal speakers were Wendell Phillips, Theo.
dore Parker and Bird, the tenor OF whose remarks
were infammaio-y appeals in favor Of Human
Liberty, and denunciations OF the fugitive slave
law, and the South generally.
Immediately after the adjournment of the
Court, the cry was raised that crowd of negroes

Coal i'm Arson.

We learn from the "Pee Dee Star" that Dr.
MacClanahan, assistant State Geologst, who
recently visited that County has traced indications
Of Coal from the Deep River Mines, and inclines
70 the opinion that great abundance of it exists
there. 1t has long been supposed that bed of
this fossil lay buried in Arson, and we hope the
examinations and explorations will lead to its de-
velopment. If a Railroad is built from this point
TO Wilmington it will pass within few miles Of
it, and then the proftableness OF the basin will
be fixed fact. 1t is getting time for TO be
looking out for substitute for wood for that article

sive. There is scarcely exchange that does
not speak OF the discovery of some element OF
wealth in our State yet to be developed. The
Milton Spectator says one OF the most valuable
copper mines in the United States, has recently
been found in Person. Several Professors of &C.
ology have recently visited it and pronounced it so.
Our State is yet in its infancy, and if liberal
and enlightened policy is pursued, she is destined
to occupy The front rank the empire State Of
the South. Possessed of genial and diversified
