AGK.-But few men die of age. Almost all die
of disappointment, passonal mental or bodily toll,
or accident. The passions kill men sometimes, even
suddenly. The common expression, choked with
passion has little exaggeraton in it; for though
not suddenly fatal, strong passions shorten life
Strong bodied men often die young-weak men live
longer than the strong, for the strong lose their
strength, and the weak have none to USE The lat

mails, which live, in general, temperate lives, have
generally their prescribed term of years. The horse
lives twenty-five years; the OK fifteen or twenty :;
the lion about twenty; the dog ten or twelve; the
guinea pig six to seven years. These numbers all
bear similar proportion to the time the animals
takes to grow to its full size. But man. of all the
animals is the that seldom comes up to its
age. He ought to live hundred years, according
to this physiological law, for five times twenty are

on the average four times his growing period the

standard of the measurement. The reason is OBJ

VICE PREslDENcY.-North Carolina has presented
the name of James G, Dobbin as candidate for the
Vice Presidency He is the present Secretary of the
Navy; and amid all the storm of abuse that has been
heaped upon this administration, not one word has
been uttered against him. He has distinguished
himself by his untring zeal in the work of naval
form, and in every measure he was authorized to
pursue to increase the efficiency of that right arm
of our national defence. The six war steamers au-
thorzed to be built by the late Congress will all be
completed probably in less than ten months, and
will be among the most formidable vessels aioat
Mr. Dobbin gave close personal attention to the
matter, and the result will be important ADDITION
to our naval force. Mr.. Dobbin has been empha-
tcally working member of the cabinet, and enjoys
a high reputation Cor ability. With Buchanan as
the candidate for the Presidency it will be the right
of the South to the candidate for Vice Presi-
dent and We shall cheerfuly support such man
as Mr.. Dobbn, Mr.. Boyd, Mr.. Rush, Mr.. Cobb, or
any other sound national democrat.

THE NAPO COUNTRY.

A business letter from Mr. WHITE, our Minister
resident at Quito, contains the following remarks in
relation to attempts to co0nise the "Napo country"
in the republic of Ecuador:
Within two or three years past numbers of
North American citizens have visited Quito en- route
for the "Napo" river, in the "orental" province
Of Ecuador, and others have found their way thher
through the passes in the Peruvian range of the
Andes. What is called the "Napo country" in it's
present unreclaimed state is an nhospitable region
constituted of either arid pampas utterly destitute
OF water, or OF almost impenetrable jungles on the
rivers. Between Quito and the "Napo," there is
no "pass through the Cordilleras accessible to
beasts of burden unless the pack Indians that are
used for the purpose of transporting such luggage
&C., as the adventurous viajeros cannot carry on
their own backs, are placed in that category.
Superadded to these obstacles in the way of indi.
Eidnal enterprise, are the hazards of disease and
death, without medical aid, and the perils of the
poisoned oprows Of the cannbal Indians, the venom
Of whose darts is SO subtle, that these mercless
archers are sure of their game if blood be drawn,
whether upon MAN or beast, fowl serpent-the
flesh OF each and all serving od to appease their
momentAry hunger, or is "jerk'd for future emer.
1t is known that for ages anterior to the Spanish
conquest, the Aborgines Of Ecuador, and of Peru
under the patriarchal despotism of the = IHcAs,
we're subjected to q tyranny over both mind and
body, the most oblterative of social and poltica
yoiton, Of any other system of government eve,

Mr.. Champion, we Judge from the tenor of Wash
ington advices will be sent home not the ground
of the defence or explanations made by Lord Clar-
endon, but of Mr.. Champions acknowledged COM
plicity in the enlistment affair, and in regard to
which no explanations can or will be made. The
British Consuls implicated in the enlistment, it is
though, will be allowed to remain on an evidence of
disposition to compromise difficulties.
The Union at Washington, in very consderate
article, says the evidence is conclusive as to Mr..
Champions guilt, and it adds the following:
Whatever course our government may deem it
proper to pursue under the circumstances it is graf
flying to know that, the stands, the Bri
fish government can have pretext for being Of
Tended. 1t surely be cause of hostilities if
our government chooses to adhere to its conviction
that the evidence is conclsioe to Mr.. CranptOns
guilt and for that reason whilst it may accept the
disclaimer to any intentional violation Of the Brit
ish government should determine that Mr. Cramp-
toms continuance here minister s0ould be incom-
pati6le soith proper regard for national self
respect"

The Boston Post Pierce,) dislikes the movements
on behalf of Buchanan, Douglas. Hunter, &C., in
Virginia, Maryland, Louisiana, Missouri, &C., and
says of them:
The safety of the South and the Union have never
received more dangerous blow than would be
given by the overthrow of General Pierce by the
Cincinnati Convention. The moral effect of turning
aside well tried public servant because he had
the Constitution, would be truly disastrous, and
such an act of treachery by the South, when he bad
pered all his hopes ofre-eection for her protection,
would be loathed and despised by every right
minded man. .[ $ + -

e. al CARD.
4 a few days ago friend placed in my hands an
abodon paper published at Chicago Illinois, con-
Archibald Williams bearing date the 18th Of March.
This letter, written by one of the leaders of the
black republican party in Illinois, am informed,
was addressed to prominent opponent Of the dem
party in the State of Virginia, and at his request
and by him, published in Virginia paper although
did not see it until placed in my hands as above
stated. -.,-.--.,
The letter is as follows:
Col. Riehardson on Slavery.
QUINCY, Ql,) March IA, 1856.
DEAR SIR Your letter of the 9Th instant has Just
reached me- In ityou enquire ibid Col. William
A. Richardson, your opponent for Congress in the
last contest state to his constituents that the Kan
sas-Nebraska bill would have the effect of making
those Territories free ?" cannot state that he did
in the precise terms of your interrogatory, but he
did frequently and emphatcally say that the repeal
OF the Missouri restriction, he called it. was ia
vorable to freedom and that it (he restrction) es-
tablished slavery south of So deg. 80 min, and that
under the squatter-sovereignty principle the whole
OF the territory, well south north of that line
would be formed into free States give in his own
words, one of his favorite ordinations: "Never
mind-never mind-wait awhile, and you will see
before this time next year the people Of the Terrific
ry will prohibit slavery"
am, very respectfully, your obedient servant,
ARCHIBALD WILLIAMS.
P. S.-Col. Richardson, during the whole of our
canvass, Indignantly repealed the charge of being in
favor of slavery, A. w..
The only notice desire to take of this letter is to
pronounce it so gross perversion of my position
and speeches, then and now, as to amount to base
and Infamous lie. My position then was, and now
is, that the Kansas Nebraska act was based upon
the true principles of the constitution in recognising
the right of each State and Territory, preparatory
to its admission into the Union to form and regulate
their domestic institutions in their way subject
to the constitution of the United States and that
would vote for the admission of each new State,
with or without slavery, as its own people should
decide; and this principle controlled my action in
the support of the Kansas Nebraska bill.
While it is impossible for me in this card to state
all the arguments used in the for Congress-
l do say that any one who pretends that Iassumed
any position inconsistent with this principle wilfuly
lies.

The COMMON Schools OF NORTH CARoL1NA.-It
appears from the report of the Rev. G. H. Wiley,
state superintendent of the common schools of North
Carolina, that the common school system in that
State has rapidly advanced within q comparatively
short time The report is written with ability, and
shows that Mr.. Wiley has largeness of views, and
zeal and energy in the duties of his Office which
eminently fit him to fill the responsible position he
illustrate the truth of his preliminary remarks viz
1.-THE progress ofgeneral education in North Carolina
for the last few years. every thing considered has
been very remarkable, and almost without paral-
lei" He shows that, while the population of the
State has increased but little since 1910, when only
in 1856 the number had increased TO 100. 600 or
smnre-an increase Of nearly six hnadred per cent
This certainly speaks well for North Carolina.
