A Whole Family in Heaven

The following passage is from the
pen Of Rev. Albert Barnes, of Phi.
ladelphia
"A whole family in heaven-who
can describe their everlasting 10y -
No one IS absent. Nor father, nor
mother, nor son, nor daughter are a
way. la the world below they are
united IN faith, aud love, and peace,
aud Joy. Ia the morning of the re-
surreciion they uscended together in
united alteration. On the banks OF
the river of life they walked hand
in hand, and as family, they have
commenced a career of glory which
shall be everlasting. There is here
after TO be no separation in tho fami-
ly. No one is to lie down on a bed
Of pain No one TO wander away

not been afflicted with a singular

in a strange aversion to paying cash
for anything----lhal is, anything

With fearful odds must fight;

And down on h,s uphfed blade,
Swift blows descending rung
But soon he ceased such frultless strife,

ENCOUNTER WITH A WoLF.-Some two or three
weeks since very large male WOLF driven by hum
ger from the forests, made his appearance in the
gion of country in this county known as the Cross
ngs Forks. He commenced his depredations upon
stock and began to be great annoyance the hus-
bandmen of that locality. At last young man
named Christian Beachy, who had frequently seen
his tracks in tho snow, declared his intention to give
him chase if he ever came across him when he
(Beachy) was on his avorite horse. flew days since
Beachy, in Company with another young man, also
mounted, behcld the VOLTS track in the snow. It
was apparently just made, and dash after him
at once determnd upon. The snow was two feet
deep, but nothing dauntcd, Bcachy, on his powerful
horse plunged through it into the forest, followed
by his companion, who was unable to keep up The
wolf, finding himself pursued, dashed forwards but
the gallant steed Of Beachy, after chase of half
hour, bore him by the side of the wolf Springing
from his horse, he (teing unarmed) caught the ami
NAL by the TAIL Then battle ensued of fierce
character. The wolf snapped his powerful jaws in
rage, but, by continually jerking him about aud adj
mnstering at every opportunity powerful kick
with heavy boot in the side, he managed to hold
sninjurcd until the arrival Of his companion when
the ferocious animal was dispatched with well-amed
blow from club. Beachy is a of great mus
cular power and courage. which enabled him to
tain his hold upon the wolf until he was dispatched.
When his companion arrived he was nearly exhaus-
ted. The wolf would not have been so easily cap
tured but, being indscreet in his younger days, he
had put of his feet in steel trap and thereby
lost the entire foot to the first joint.

NORTHERN KNOW NoTHINGs.- "American,"

Convention which meets in New York on June II th
The point to which We wish to call attention, with
reference to the above is that all Councils and other
bodies at the North sending delegates to any Free
Soil Convention, seem to look upon it as an cssenta!
element in their programme, that they should de-
nounce the Kansas and Nebraska Bills. There is
no doubt there about the true intent and meaning
OF such course. 1t is known and acknowledged
to be Free Soilism and nothing else And vet
strangely enough we find men at the South, running
for important positions in the State who occupy
virtually the same grounds, endorsing platform
which denounces the repeal of the Missouri Com
promise-the soul and essence of these bills, as
"reckless and unwise"
We cannot avoid the conclusion that such course
on the part Of Southern men, is calcula ted to
strengthen the hands of their enemies at the Norrh
is eminently suicidal, and cannot be persevcred in
without damage to the country. The late Philade.

y
MEssRs. EDIroRs: Now that the notes OF prepara-
ton for the summer campaign are sounding over tne
State, and the Democratic forces are faiifng INTO
ranks many in this region, armed for the conflict,
are only waiting for the selection OF leaders and the
unfurlng of the banners
Person IL reddy-her soldiers are all true, anu her
commanders gallant and sklful.
Among those to whom she is proud to entruSt the
post of danger and ofhonor none stands higher than
the popular gentleman whose name heads this COM
munication and not only is he strong at home,
where his sterling qualities so well known, but
we are happy to believe and know that his merits
are appreciated abroad. Few persons who speak
so little and make as few pretensions as Col Gun
bingham have exercised more influence in the AS
sembly than he has done; and am informed on
very good authority that when he sets himseit 10
carry a measure it is hard to deny him. AS an ev-
idence of his popularity, and one which his neigh
bors at home fully appreciate, l may refer to the
manner of his election as trustee OF the University
of North Carolina. This is an honor much sought
after of late years and such is the competition tor
it that even the popular and distinguished Speak
or of the House of Commons was not elected
till after a number of ballotings. COL Cunning
ham soas elected the first balot-a most 1attering
evidence of his popularity in the Legislature, and an
honor not accorded for years only to the most cml-
nent men, When we have such one in the Sem
ate we know that Person county commands respect
in that dignified body, and we know that we have
Senator esteemed by all his associates, unfinching
in his principles courteous to his political oppo-
nents devoted to his friends and ever ready to do
ecery thing that can be done to serve his constitu-
ents.
In this connection feel bound also to pay a just
tribute to our old and faithful servant R. II. Hester,
and believe 1 express the sentiments of many,
many true men, when say with Cunningham and
Hester our Democracy would be proud to do battle.
l sincerely hope their friends will urge them out
for the Senate and Commons of the county, to whose
interests they as true as steel; and certainly it
would give me great satisfaction to enlist under
these champions, while l know that many others
sympathize with me in these feelings.
