No one objecting to the proposition, Mr..
iFinkbine rushed into the room, and brought
his nose to bear upon the stranger. His
first impulse was to say, sPooh, pooh, but
he caught the cunning expression Of the
half closed eyes, and into those eyes Fink
bine dived, nose and all, he travelled through
the brain, down into the heart, along the
arm, into the saddle bags, and he saw the
great heaps Of notes; so, returning to the
Board, he threw himself into chair ex-
claiming:
Fact, gentlemen; I saw through the
scoundrel at once.'

conclusion so emphatically announced, and

ADVERTISING.

There is wonderful, but philosophical
power, in judicious system of advertising.
Thousands have made it the means of success
in business, and thousands are now making
their fortunes by it. The fact is, the time
has come that those who expect to succeed
at all, must avail themselves of this potent
means.-Those who have already establish
ed themselves successfully in business,
should advertise to retain that position. not
less than those who seek successful estab
lishment. DISCREET advertising is the very
life of business; and in this age of news
papers, when every business man is ex-
pected to keep himself before the public,
those who neglect to take advantage of it,
need not be surprised to see their wiser
neighbors shooting ahead of them in the
race of fortune.-Solisbury Watchman.
Business men who advertise have long
since learned the advantages of keeping
their names before the public. We knew
man who sold house and lot for fifty
dollars more than he had formerly offered
it at, by simply announcing the fact in a
newspaper that it was for sale.
The inquiry is often made why it is that
Jews and other foreign merchants thrive
and make money in almost any town they
may settle in. We believe that one of the
main reasons is, they advertise literally
and thus attract attention. 1t is rarely the
case that foreigner does not advertise
literally.

THE RETIRING PRESIDENT.

We are happy 10 learn that there is a
reasonable prospect that President Pierce,
Mt the close of his brilliant administration,
will make tour through the Southern
States. We feel fully justified in declaring
that there is no man in the Confederacy
whom the entire South would more cordial
ly welcome. We should like him tn min
gle with people whose rights and honor
he has so nobly defended, in defending the
Constitution of the United States and the
union of equal and sovereign States. To
Virginia it would be especially grateful to
do honor to a President who, battling
against the most malignant enemies in his
own section, has as fearleSslv and power
fully carried out the States Rights, strict
construction, Jcffcrsonian principles, as
any President since the days of Jefferson
himself.-Rtchmond Enquirer.
If Mr. Pierce does make a tour through
the Southern States, we have no doubt all
parties will be willing to extend him a
cordial reception. We suggest that a pub
lie meeting be held by the citizens of Char
lotto and a committee appointed to invite
him to come up the North Carolina Rail-
road and visit this town, the cradle of Lib
crty. Let the first invitation from the Old
North State go from Charlotte.

A LEGISLATIVE SCENE.-A scene oc-
CURED in the Illinois House of Representa-
tives on the 9Th inst, which was moro re-
markable for its singularity than its decen-
cy. The House before organization elect
ed speaker pro TEN. Mr.. Bridges, the
clerk of the former House, claimed the chair
till a speaker was regularly elected. Bridges
continually interrupted the speaker, until
the latter ordered the sergeant-at- arms to
remove the disorderly clerk. AS soon as
the sergeant-at arms took hold of him, they
clinched, while many Of the members made
up to the scene of action to assist the SER
geant in the discharge of his duties. After
some considerable wrestling, knocking over
chairs, desks, inkstands, men and things
generally, Mr.. Bridges was got out with his
coat shockingly torn. Five or six assis-
tant sergeant-at-arms were then appoint
ed to keep order, and the House proceed
ed to business.

pAYrpsoN coLLEaE.

The Salisbury Waterman, in speaking
of a remark of the Charlotte Wing that if
Davidson College was removed it would
probably come to Charlotte, says:
''The whole intent and purpose of this
Bill for the the removal of Davidson Col
lege, probably does not exceed, in impor-
lance, a private scheme on the part of Mr.
Myers to secure a reelection in 1858, or
to suppIant the present incumbent of the
Office of Intendant of Police in Charlotte,
or the Sheriff of Mecklenburg. We think
so, for the reason that very respectable
gentlemen of the Board in that town, were
not apprised that Mr. Myers intended to
move the passage of such a bill until it had
been DONE"
With regard to the removal of the Col
lege we have nothing to do, and care very
little about the matter, and presume that
the Charlotte people are not much exercised
on the subject, more than being in favor of
allowing the Trustees to remove the insti-
tuition if they think proper. But the re-
marks of the Waterman about Mr. Myers
are as ungenerous as they are uncalled for.
Mr. Myers needs no "private scheme to
secure a reelection in 1S58-the Watch
man and its party combined cannot prevent
that if the democracy see proper not to
order otherwise. The Sheriff of Mecklen-
burg, the Intendant of Police and Mr.
Myers, can all be re- elected without private
schemes to assist. So our contemporary
need give itself no uneasiness on that point.
The Waterman is also mistaken in say
ing that very respectable gentlemen of the
Board in this town, ''were not apprised
that Mr. Myers intended to move the pas
sage of such bill until it was done" 1t
is small matter. but statements about it
should be correct

Report of Finance Committee
TO THE N. C.. LEGISLATURE.

The committee of Finance have had un-
der consideration the various subjects in
relation to the public revenue. and likewise
the internal mprovementp policy of the State.

ton of the treasurer's report bearing upon
the subject, with such remarks and sugges-

CoTToN-The Cotton market is rather
depressed, and tending downwards in con-
sequence of the large quantity shipped to
foreign ports. We received news Of a de-
cline in the English market, and the two
succeeding days an important falling off in
prices in home markets. and if the holders
are obliged to sell, heavier decline is ex-
pected.

THE RIVER IMPRovEMENT.-MrG wynn,
who was appointed to inspect the works on
the Cape Fear and Deep Rivers, has made
his report to the Legislature. He reports
some of the locks and dams in tolerable
good condition and others IN bad condition
recommends the entire rebuilding of four
dams at a cost of ,000-thinks the
sum of S45O,OO will complete the improve
ment on the plan commenced, that is, wood
en- dams, locks, &c. But, says Mr. Gwynn,
IF it should be decided, as I would re-
specially advise, to build stone locks,
abutments and guard walls, the cost will
be S1,I55, 900, or in round numbers, say,
S1,200,000. My own opinion is, that the
interests involved would justify this expen-
diture, and that the State could not make
a more judicious and safe investments
The above sum, together with what has
already been expended, will make total
of one million eight hundred thousand dol
lars. We know there are host of lobby
members in Raleigh electioneering for the
scheme. but we shall see whether they can
carry it through.
a committee has been appointed to in
vestigate the affairs of this company.
We are afraid the State of North Caro-
lima is creating too many monopolies. If
her works of internal Improvement, COM
pletcd or commenced, are always to be
held up as a reason why others should not
be built by her citizens Especially when
no State aid is asked for) we think it is
time for our Legislators to act cautiously
in the premises.

CHARLESTON MARKET, Jan. 16.

Our Cotton market has been depressed
and dropping for the past few days, and
prices have been very irregular. Some OPP
orators will not purchase unless at a decline
of a full j cent on last weeks prices, while
but few holders are willing to make such
concessions. and hence the consequence
stagnation of business.

RIGHT.-We notice that Mr. Davidson of
Mccklcnburg county, has introduced a bill
into the House of Commons to repeal the
37th section of the Glst chapter of the Re-
vi>cd Code, concerning internal improve
mcHtS.
The section referred to, we think, pro-
hibits the building of Railroad or Plank
Road, by individuals or a company, without
Il charter for the same from the General
Assembly. Inquiry has been made how
such restriction got into the Revised Code,
but, like the act prohibiting the circulation
of small notes, no one seems to know how
it originated. But one thing is evident, it
is the production of some enemy of the
Danville connection, who feared that the
people would assert their right by building
said road without Il charter. Hence the
restriction now i'll the statute book. 1t
certainly ought to be repealed, that the
people may be allowed the privilege of in
vcsting their money in any work of internal
Improvement they may choose.
