GOVERNOR BRAGG. On Monday last Thomas Bragg
was duly installed Governor of North Carolina. We
believe Mr.. Bragg will guide the ship of State
with experienced hand and discharge his respon-
sbc duties with irmness and in manner calculated
to reflect credit upon himself and the Office which
he has been called on to fill Possessing, as he does,
a clear head, discriminating judgment, cool debera-
ton, a thorough acquaintance with the wants of
the State and its political history, he cannot fail to
faction of the party, at least which elevated him.
We predict that Gov Bragg's administration will be a
popular one. Fay. Caro-.

SAD OCCURRENCE We panied to state that on
Tuesday of last week, Col. Abner Parker, of Red
Mountain, in this county, committed suicide by cut
ting his throat with razor. He died, as learn,
in fifteen minutes after committing the act. He had
been deeply afflicted in the loss of all his children by
consumption and to this added about twelve
months ago severe aiction in the loss of his wife,
Oppressed with grief for these bereavements, he
also afflicted with tendency of blood to the head,
plexy. These prayed upon him, and it is supposed
that his mind upset, and in fit of arrangement
the fatal act was perpetrated.
Col Parker was about sxty-one years ofage, and
highly esteemed in the county for his ntolli-
gence public spirit and hospility. His loss will bo
mourned by a large circle offriends and acquantan-
ces. HiMs Rec.

RALEIGH, j an. 3, 1855.
The Legislature is again in full blast. The House
had been sitting for two three days last week,
but the Senate did not succeed in getting q Drum
until Monday The members have come back with
renewed energy to their labors. On Monday Gov.
bragg took the oath of office, administered by Chief
Justice Nash in the presence of both Houses of the
General Assembly. The Governor looks in fine
health, and is in good spirits, and will likely be in
fine tune to give Gen. Dockery another heat two
years hence when the "old wagner" cracks his
whip. The Inaugural Address was happy and well
received.
Nothing of Importance done the first part of
the week. The House has been industriousy
gagged upon the Revised Statutes There are many
important bills to be acted on. Various projects
for Banks, and for recharterng the old Banks. Mr..
Caldwell is urging his plan of Bank. an not fam
ar with enough the details of to pass opinion.
Caldwell is, however, a clever fellow, of no incon-
siderable ability, and whatever his notions may be
about banking, Guilford has reason to be proud of
him.
Your member, Mr.. Shepherd, stands high here,
and, we'll as Mr.. McDufie, is quite popular. Mr..
Cofeld is also good representative. In truth, the
lower counties have all sent clever delegations.
Faison, of Sampson, is active useful member, of
whom Sampson may be proud.
The Senate will be an interesting place from the
9th January, when the "big bills" come to be
discussed. II.

A CARD.

The author of Publius deems it due to truth to
say that d. F. Caldwells insinuations unfoun
ded as they illibera The author is not nor has
he ever been Director in the Bank of the State;
and he has dollars of interest in the bonds of the
State and in Railroad stocks for in Bank stock.
So that had the author been Influenced by the inter-
ested motives ascribed to him, he should have sup
ported Mr.. Caldwelrs Bank, which proposes to give
such forced value to these stocks. Had the gen.
tleman read tine last communication of Publius, he
could hardly have imagined such an argument would
find favor with any advocate of Bank charters, new
or old. The author cannot be expected to argue a
question with who is capable of indugng in such
unworthy personalities in discussion of point of
political economy.

GOVERNOR OF NAMES ANNUAL MEssAGE.-Port-
land, jim. S.-Gov. Morrrs Annual Message to the
Maine legislature alludes to the Know Nothngs.
Recommends a stringent enforcement of the Ii
quor Law. On the Slavery question says the time
has come for the matter to be discussed in National
as well as State Councils, and in the primary meet
ings of the people, the as other grave subjects
1t condemns the passage of the Nebraska Bill, and
its presumed extensions of slavery. Denounces the
President of the United States for completely, and
charges him with violation of his assurances.
This man, Morrill,, owes his election to the Maine
law hobby, and to freesol and Know Nothing votes.
Behold the fruits
