The State Fair.

The public will be gratifed, as we have
been, to learn that we are authorized by the
proper committee Of the State Agricultural
Society to announce, that Professor MITCHELL,
Of the University Of North Carolina, will deliv'
er the annual Address at the approaching
State Fair. Owing to circumstances beyond
the control 0 fthe committee, the annunication
has been delayed longer than was desirable;
which is to be the more regretted, as a great
many enquiries have been made on the sub
feet. But it will be now perceived that no
detriment can arise from it, for no more ju-
dicious selection could, at any time, have
been made, or one more satisfactory to the
Society or the community, DR.. MITCHELL is
universally known and esteemed in North
Carolina, as a ripe scholar, and full ofknowl-
edge on almost all Enthusiastically on
natural science and the arts. His consent to
perform this acceptable service will raise him
higher in the estimation ofhis fellow-citizens,
as envincing his deep interest in their welfare
and the business Of the Society.

INSANITY and Intemperance.

The state of North Carolina has, at great
cost, erected an Asylum, and provided, at
considerable taxes, for the comfort and pro-
lection of that class of our fellow beings who
have been so unfortunate as to lose their rea-
son and gone into a state Of insanity. Such
a noble enterprise is worthy the most ardent
wishes Of the philanthropist, and the best
exertions Of the patriot. High indeed is the
honor due the accomplished and benevolent
lady, who has labored to stimulate our Log
~istators to action in this work ! High also
will be the reward of the wise and good men
amongst them, who responded so promptly
to the calls of charity and justice-so long
unheeded-so long neglected. But we refer
to this subject for a far different purpose than
to bestow our feeble commentator. til COM
puted that there are upwards of eleven hun
dred of our fellow-citizens who have been de-
prived of their reason, and are laboring un-
der insanity. Now, if the experience afforded
US by other parts of the world, is safe test,
what a melancholy fact is here disclosed 1t
is stated-(how far the estimate is correct is
not for us to say that more than one-half the
~lunatics in the numerous hospitals in other
parts of the world, were brought to their la
mentable condition by Intemperance Of the
seven hundred and eighty one, in the Asylums
in Dublin and Liverpool, three hundred and
ninety, it is said, were the victims Of intoxi-
eating liquors. Whether it may, with any
approach to accuracy, be assumed that five
hundred Of these unfortunate beings, in our
own State, were made such bya like cause,
is left for others to determine who have bet
ter means of information. Nor will we add
to the melancholy character of the subj ect,
by vague speculations, upon the number of
those, who may be now under like influences,
approaching the brink of the same frightful
E precipice. But is there not enough known,
!, to admonish all good men that they cannot
9 stop where they notc stand? Let it not be
, said of us, that whilst with one hand we ad-
. minister the antidote, with the other we
o scatter the poisonl Whilst some are endeav-
i. curing to lop off the branches of the evil tree,
it cannot be unwise that Others should strike
, at it's root f? Think of item dollars, the
|. price per year, for the privilege of adding to
the number of ~lunatics in our State "A tax

water but after the expiration of a few mcments
he brought it up, when [ repeated the dose, which
partially relieved him. I followed it with a third

cerity, that in one case with which we are more
par ticularly acquainted-that of an old gentle
man, at least eighty years Of age, residing a few
miles from this city, and who is troubled at times
with an asthmatical com plaint-the most decided
