DEATH OF PRor. HENrz.-Professo N
M. Hentz, the husband of the talented au.
thoress, the late Caroline Lee Hentz, died al
Mariana, Fla, on the 18th inst. Professo,
Hentz was French gentleman of varied &C.
complishments, and was we'll known as q
teacher in many seminaries of learning in
different parts of our country. He was as.
ISOLATED with George Bancroft and DIR. Gogs.
we'll when they taught school at Roundhill
and was subsequently engaged at Cincinnati
and at Chapel Hill, N. c., as Professor o.
Modern Languages and Bellies Letters. Mr.
Aentz was not only successful as an instruc-

ture of our country. His treatises upon
Natural History have placed him among the
first scholars of our country in this depart
ment of learning. - 4

Cool Swindling In Cincinnati.


The Cincinnati Commercial remarks: "the
low stage of water in the Ohio for several
months past has entirely cut off the arrival
ofcoal, and that indispensable commodity
has in consequence been enhanced in price to
. most extraordinary figure. Not satisfied
with this increased profit, dealers have been
discovered using short measures swindling
their purchasers in this way, from ten to
twenty per cent. on the load. Complaints
had been reaching the authorities for some
time, and on last Saturday week the Mayor
issued an order to the Inspector of Weights
and Measures to thoroughly investigate mat
ters. He did so, and found that every deal.
er in the city, with single exception, was
using short measures Charges were al
once preferred in the police court against
these individuals and companies.
Some Of these gentry had so far forgotten
their honesty and arithmetic as to count
three and half pecks to the bushel, the
standard measures Of coal being five pecks to
the bushel."

E@ The Patent Office has recently re-
ceived some fine specimens of Malaga grapes
rom California. They are large, full and
luscious-the fruits of the vine introduced
in that country hundred and fifty years
ago. 1t is the opinion of those employed in
the Agricultural Department of that office,
that our country at large can be supplied
with those grapes from California at cheap
er rate than those from Malaga, orelsewhcrc
out of the United States, can now be fur

Had we not put faith in an agreement
made with the Pioneer folks, we should have
ssued it yesterday noon. Both Offices have
had expresses at and about Cannon Falls for
the last three or four days to intercept the
stage, and if possible secure copy in time
to print it here before the arrival of the
mail; but as both had waited SO long at
great expense, and there was no certainty of
getting copy in this manner, it was mutual
ly agreed by parties representing the two
Offices that no more expresses should be
sent out, and each should wait and have an
amicable and spirited race when it should
arrive by regular conveyance. No sooner
had this agreement been made, however,
an agreement which we were both honorably
bound to keep and which they knew zoe would
keep-than they broke it, by starting off an
other express, and were thus enabled to pub
lish it last evening. Under such circumstan-
ces, to the Pioneer exclusively belongs the
credit of issuing the message in advance Of
the "slow coach of the Minnesotian."

Follow my Leader"

We have heard it gravely argued that any
restriction upon the free fow Of whiskey
'fernenst the habits and customs Of
our forefathcrs.' In this logic is exemplifed
the ehild's play of follow my leader We
once heard of a man, so intent upon doing
eyerying after the manner of his ~forefathers,
that he went TO mill with a bushel of corn
in one end of his sack and an equal weight
of rock in the other end, in order to have
things properly balanced. The principle
involved in the above objection to restriction
out Jogies all GoJyism-we must drink whis-
key, get drunk, swear, SLAYER and fight. be-

Dreadful Railroad Accident.

We give under our News head, an account
of a fearful accident which happened on the
Seaboard Railroad, about Is miles below
Weldon, on the 10th inst. We had an in
teryiew with Mr.. Win. E. Edwards, of
Greensboro, and Mr.. David W. Elliott, of
Guilford, who were on the Inflated train,
both of whom were injured-the former
painfully but not dangerously-and they
concur in the statement that, on examining
the bridge, after the accident, they found
the lemons of the structure in many places
entirely rotten, and they were informed by
citizens in the vicinity that the place has
been considered unsafe for several months
past. The timbers were the original ones
placed there in 1885.
We are requested by Messrs. Edwards
and Elliott, and also VIM. E. Wright, OF
Bethel, KY, and John Everett, of Nashville,
Tenn, to make public acknowledgement Of
their thanks to Doctors Whitehead and
Grammer, for their faithful and skillful at
~tention to the sufferers and to the citizens
generally, in the vicinity of the disaster, fol
their kind and hospitahle treatment.
The remains Of Mr.. Kilkelly were brough
to this City, and Inferred in the City Gene
terry. He has left q wife and four small chill
dren in dependent circumstances.

Ma TRES CuERE ANlE: Perhaps you will
readily assent to this not unpleasing senti-
ment. that there is a bond of tender sympa-
thy existing between spirits, in their nature
cungcuial, and whose hearts beat together in
undisturbcd union-while their natural feel
iugs flew ON IN tho same channel Of pure
sympathetic attraction, which gradually en-
chains the unrcstrained a~fections-if not
with a 'threo-fold cord,' ut least, with a
'silkon' one, whose soft and enchanting fla
mcnts, the voluntary captive cannot cherish
the least desire of breaking, while there is
evidence Of u mutual reciprocation. For,
though we may Economically imagine the
detcstable coquettc spurning the imploring
,rAkoofKtsrt rnhy aHtthbs affection cannot exist with.
out ut least some evidence ofmutual return;
for, that-'Loye, and love only, is the loan
for lOVC-is n sentiment so universally adj
mitted, as to be almost automatic, no one can
we'll deny. And, does not the experience of
any observer in human nature also confute
this preposterous idea-the legitimate of
spring Of fiction This too, concurs with
my ayowcd sentiments, as you are aware
that steady and continued esteem, can only
flow from . just appreciation of moral and
intellectual worth. And allow me TO say in
addition 60 this, that the myrtle (cupid) a.
lone, without the concurrence of the acacia
Piatonic loves is, in my opinion, incapable
Of ensuring extended happiness. In the ex-
tension Of this unprecedented attempt az
sentimenability, VIC can't but notice a large
number Of ; Don Bob's' Clytcmnestras, true
failures in real life; and, as you will not
misinteFPet my frankness, / nay say, mere

Spirit of the age. [volume] (Raleigh, N.C.) 1849-1865, 1856-03-19

We cannot think it possible our Legislature will
be rash enough to pass this act. 1t is unjust to
let merchants licenses remain as they are in Nir-
ginia it would be tyrannical to double them. If
the Delegates and Senators should DO this, the mer-
chant may make them suffer for it. They have
only to stop selling them liquor to drink, and to
treat their constituents with, and they can be
brought to any terms. The country merchant is
the most powerful ally n political a~spirant can have,
and our legislators will find if they treat with con-
tempt the petitions and memorials Of this class Of
our citizens, they will be most inglorieusly laid on
the shelf at the next election for members OF the
Legislature.
If the Legislators become mutinous, and refuse
to listen to our merchants, let tho grog ration be
stopped, and they viii soon come to terms.
The above is the argument brought TO lear
by the Norfolk Argus, for the purpose Of in
timidating the Virginia Legislature from in
creasing liquor dealers licenses in thatState.
We have not met with q more direct and
positive impugnment of tie integrity and
virtue of grave legislators, than is found in
the above extract. Had a Temperance pa
per made such declarations, "the deep dam
nations of their taking off" would have re,
sounded from one end of the State to the
other. But here is a political paper talking of
a Legislature, a large majority beingH po-
litical friends and allies, that fatty tells the
story upon them. We believe that Virginia
has been compelled to increase the rate of
taxes upon every thing, and yet we have
seen no special complaint until liquor was
touched, or about to be-then there is the
dell to pay. Funny I! Strange is it not?
But, is it pOssiblet that the liquor merchant,
are " the most powerful allies . political as
pirant can have?" And if they become
:" offended " with o man he is most assured
o ly and " ingloriously laid upon the shelf =
If so, verify we have fallen on evil times
and " political aspirancy" is about the low
est, mental, cringing business in the country
What do Patriots-politicians who are aboy,
f the contemplate trickery Of ~demagogues,
e think of the picture? Is it not a slandei
upon the voters Of the State?

The Picked Rod Letters.

These papers, which were SO widely cir
culated last year, are peculiarly adapted for
circulation among the people of North Caro-
lima, at this particular juncture. They were
written by a distinguished citizen of the
State, in answer to a Legislative document
.emanating in the House of Commons, and
is therefore strictly a North Carolina Tenn
perance document. Their powerful argu-
ment, cogent reasoning and biting irony,
have won for these letters a State wide fame.
They are just the things to put into the
hands sc xotera during Tho present Spring
and Summer. We have a few thousand left on
hand, which we will dispose of at 81 so per
hundred-yery little over enough to prepay
the postage on them, which we purpose do
ing.
