A House Burnt.

The house occupied by Mr.. MAnrrN, in
this place, and belonging to Dr. w. G..
NoRwooD, took fire on last Friday, sup
posed to have caught from the heat of the
stove pipe passing through the ceiling and
roof. The house stood some distance from
any other building, otherwise the town
might have burnt up, and the citizens would
have had nothing more with which to ar
rest the flames, than claw hammers and
club axes.
This is "A fit occasion to suggest the pro-
pricty of having Il fire engine-though il is
hardly worth the trouble, for no one will
act upon the suggestion. An engine could
DC purchased by subscription, If no other
way. BY an outlay Of one or two hundred
dollars, We may perhaps prevent loss Of
thousands.

U AS SPRING and SUMMER MEDI.
CINE. Carter's Spanish Mixture stands pre- -em-
nent above all others. It's singularIy efficacious
action on the blood; its strengthening and vivify-
ing qualities; its tonic action on tho Liver: its
tendency to drive al lIumors to the surface
thereby cleansing the system according to No.
lures own prescription; its harmless, and ut the
same time extraordinary good effects, and the
number of cures testified to by many Of the most
respectable citizens of Richmond, Va, and else
where, must be conclusive evidence that there i.
no humbug about it.
The trial of single bottle will satisfy the
most skeptical Of its benefits.

Gold Discoveries IN NORTH Carolino. -

Cold Discoveries in NORTH Carolina. -
"A cotempora'y says the "good old North
State" is known beyond her borders, only
by the false idea suggested by the unsavory
and unjust catalogue of her products" tar,
pitch and turpentine." and many doubtless
will stare incredulously when told she is
perhap the richest Of any of the old States
in the precious ores.
The American Eagle published at Louis
burg, in the county Of Franklin, states that
the negroes ut the Ports Gold mine IN that
county-now the property of I. X. Thomas,
Esq, of that place-found few days ago
several nuggets Of gold, making about

piece was worth about $l2O-interm:xed
with quartz-with several others worth
from $40 to $40.

is as follows: "Ci,ler, As gallons; brandy,
6 gallons; good port, s gallons ripe sloes,
2 gallons; stew them in 2 gallons of water
press off the liquor, and add to the rest :;
if the color is not strong enough, tincture
OF rcd sanders. In few days this wine
may be bottled; add to each bottle tea
spoonful of powdered catecbu, and mix it
well it will SOON produce a fine crusty ap-
pearance. The bottles being packed on
their sides as usual, soak the corks in a
strong decoction of Brazil wood with alum,
which will. with the crust, give it the ap.
pcarance of age"

Tried and Fond JVantinq.-Our North
Carolina friends are beginning to repent
giving the election Of Governor to the pco-
pie. The Ashvile Spectator says:
awe have long been of the opinion that
the custom that has obtained in this State.
Of the candidates for Governor canvassinp
the State in person, should be done away
with. The simple custom itself, to say no
nothing Of the want Of dignity, and down
right blackguar'lism, that have character
'zed many canvasses in our knowledge, is
unworthy of the Office of Governor. The
Executive office Of this State being neither
one of profit or Of mu:h responsibility, SO
far as coordination and the disprns#t;on OF
patronage is concerned, should at least
be one of honor, dignity, and respcc,a-
blitv.
1--WE therefore would suggest that the
Greensboro Convention of The American,
party adopt n resolution of this sort:
Rcsolced, That it is the sense of this
Convention, that the nominee of the Amer
lean party for Governor should not canvass
the State in person, provided that the Dem
ocratic State Convention, when assembled,
concur i'll the foregoing declaration"

The House has resolved to send out n
commission to Kansas to investigate tho
circumstances attending tho late elections
there. 1t is not supposed that there will
bc any further outbreaks in Kansas. Gov
crnor SHANNON, backed by the Executive,
will repcl any violence which the Free
State party may attempt against the laws
of the Territory.
Tho correspondent of the Charleston
Courier, states that "the late meeting of the
Free State Legislature, was mere farce. "
The address of Gen. RoBERrsoN was of a
character that looked to the persistence by
that party in its dcsig But the Gov
ernor and his Legislature escaped the next
day after going through with the form of
clccting REEDEH and LANE u. s. Senators
Governor SHANNON intended to arrest the
members, but before he arrived, they had
very prudently dccampcJ.
The Committee consists of Mr.. SHERMAN.
Of Ohio, Mr.. Howard, of Michigan, and
Mr.. OLIVER, of Missouri The two frs, are
Republican KnowNotlings.
The Abolition party have had IL caucus.
IN which MIR. SEWARD made speech, adj
v'sl"g that the party insist upon the immc-
dIate admission OF Kansas us State. with
the bogus Constitution of the Free State
party. If the party had the power, and
were to commit such an outrage, in viola
ton OF every principle of justice, then every
Southern man who would hold a seat one
day longer in the white house, would merit
no better name than that of traitor.

Indications of an Early .Snh Crop
Owing t" the unusually fine weather for
the season, which has prevailed for the sew
cral past weeks the annual operation of
cleansing our salt pans, repairing breaches
and making improvements, is going on with
much spirit. A quantity OF brine, remain
ing in many of the pans ut the close of the
last season, is already beginning to deposit
its sparkling crystals, and. with continu-
ance OF the present weather, will, in two or
three weeks, enable us to open our market
with new salt.
Indeed, at Cockhorn IIarLor Pond, East
CaIc"s, which is now in the most forward
state of any pond in the colony, we are in
form that some salt would be rakcd DURING
the present week, and IL much larger uuan.
quantity in the coming week. On the
whole, the entire ponds of the colony have
not been in It better condition ut this carly
period, than 1T present, for series of years
past. We learn that since this was writ
ten about ten thousand bushels have been
rakcl.
