THE REVENUE OF THE UNITED STATEs.-To-day
closes the present fiscal year. The receipts into the
United States Treasury from all sources are put
down at about SIS, 900 900, of which s68,OOO0Oo is
produced by the existing Tariff, and some S7OoOoOo
bv the sales of Public Lands About $2O,OOO,OOO
of public debt has been paid off within the year,
and the Surplus in the Treasury is still about $32,-
900 The $1O,0OO,OOO to be paid on account OF
the Mexican Treaty will reduce the surplus to that
extent 1t is to be hoped that Congress at its present
session will SO far reduce the rates of duties as to
bring receipts within the range of expenditures ma
king proper provision for the reduction or extln-
guishment of the public debt.

A Card.

EDENTON, June %, 1854.
Mr.. Editor beg The privilege of your columns to
correct misrepresentation made in an editorial no.
tice published in the Wing and Intelligencer" of
this place OF a discussion between Col Paine, the
Wing candidate for the Commons, and myself That
article asserts that took ground against the States
borrowing money Tor the Central Railroad and it's
extensions and that represented Mr. Bragg as hold
ing the same opinion
positively deny having coupled the name of Mr..
Bragg in any manner with the Road and its proposed
extensions
trust this simple denial may fully serve the pur-
pose for which it is designed.
Respectfully yours,

scared About Brunswick Again.

The danger with which wing ascendency in Bruins
wick is threatened, appears 10 be quite imminent as
will be seen by the following from the last number of
the Raleigh Register
ga friend writes The Locos are making tre-
mendous exertions TO revoluiionze gallant little
Brunswick, which they consider perfect plague
spot But it won't do
awe trust that the gallant Wings OF that glorious
little county will stand by their colors, and rebuEe
the arrogant dictation of locofocoism They have
always given to their brethren, in other sections OF
the State an example of devotion and manly indepen-
dence worthy OF imitation =
Now, bless your little heart, Mr.. Register, why
shouldn't the Democrats Of Brunswick make every
honorable exetion TO effect the triumph of their prn-
ciples and the election of their candidate in Bruins.
wick and what right have you, up in Raleigh, to
talk about the honest and honorable efforts OF Tree
citizens as arrogant dctation If Col Meares should
be returned TO the Legislature from Brunswick, it
will simply be because he will get majority in fair
race-he will not be struggled in like your present
minority representative in Congress from the Raleigh
District. We ask simply of the people of Bruins
wick to act as 10 themselves may seem best, and
above ALL repel arrogance and dictation, come from
what quarter ii may, even from the would-be Sachem
of the Raleigh Register.

voted against permitting him 10 take his seat after he
had been unanimously reelected by the freeholders

infamy which the commission Of such q crime brings

Lilly May.
lIyNETA

When the morniag sun is beamins
From the crimson-cui tanned sky,
While the maiden gloom and shadow
To the western ocean fly;
And the snowy hawthorn blossoms
Fall in showers around NY way,
Then my heart goes searching for thee,
Darling bue-eyed Lilly May.
Up and down the vcrdant valley,
Up and down the forest Wild,
Flies INV heart, like young mother,
Searching for her missing child;
Dy the willow -bordered river,
Where the fairies love to stay,
Dancing Ger the bending rushes,
Hear my voice, sweet Lilly May.
Or upon the soft green meadows,
Pressing down the clovers white,
Or whrre'er the grapevine rhadlws
Mingie with the trembling light;
Or within the blue-bell valley,
With the butterflies l stray,
Calling, III Il voice ot sorruw,
For my darling Lilly May.
WrepS my heart in gentle sorrow
Where the golden willows wave,
Far adnwu that dim old forest,
have found little grave;
Slowly walk and whisper softly,
While bow alone to pray;
Meath this gray and messy tablet,
Sleeps my darling Lilly May.
