PAINTINGS FOR THE FAIR.-Our enterprising towns
man. Mr.. Alex. Meinung, has painted beautiful
landscape in oil ,-36x25-Scene, the Pilot Mountain
in the distance; foreground, Camp, Wagon, and
Students of Wake Forest College in their Mountain
Costume. The view of the Pilot is taken from near
Giilam's well known Mineral Spring. The picture
is pronounced by all who have seen it, to be very
good representation of the Pilot. 1t reflects great
credit upon the artist.
Likewise, painting in oil, 3OxS6, by the same
gentleman, representing little girl scrubblng the
steps. 1t is also very good.
The above two paintings intended for exhibit
ton at our next State Fair
We also learn that several of our citizens are pre-
pairing articles for the Fair, among whom Mr.. Shaft
has prepared two Urns of beautiful design and
finish; MIR. Wm Shultz, fine piece of Cabinet fur
niture; Mr.. G. Foltz a lot of Guns, &C., &c.
We are glad to learn that the people in the For
syth region preparing for the State Fair. We

Sented.

FINE IRISH PoTAroEs.-Mr. John Hutchins, Of
this City, has raised about Is bushels of Irish po-
tatoes from planting of bushels, and finer pota-
toes we never saw. They are equal to any Noun
tain or Northern potatoes-indeed the average size
is superior to any lot of Irish potatoes ever saw
We learn that he raised them his low grounds.
We hope he will give his mode Of culture for the
benefit of his brother farmers. A very fine speei-
men may be at Office I" for a short time
only" for are impatient to eat it.
The success Mr.. Hutchns has met with, shows
that Wake county can produce just as fine potatoes
as those we get from the North and to our olfac-
tories they will be destitute of any Black Republi-
can scent

The American Tract Society.

1t will be recoected that the American Tract So.
ciety, at its last annual meeting, authorized its pub
fishing committee to issue such treases on the du-
ties and obligations growing out Of the relations be-
tween masters and slaves as should be adapted for
circulation in the slavebolding States of the Union
The resolution adopted under this head guarded
however, by the retention of principle which, du-
ring the entire period of the socety's activity Gow
extending through thirty-two years. has been rec
ognized in all its publications. and that is that these
latter should be calculated to receive the approba
ton of all evangelical Christians" without regard to
sectional or denominational distinctions.
So earnest, however, was the opposition and so
strong the protests of the Southern portion of the
Society against this contemplated course that the
authorities of the Society have re.considered the
matter, and unanimously resolved to arrest the pub
lications referred to. We record this result with
much pleasure. The entire Southern county OBJ
served with regret the determination formed by the
Society to discuss the question the relations of
slavery and this change of course will restore
fidence and give general satisfaction. We infer,
however, from the tone of the New York Times and
other Northern journals, that those members of the
Society who desire to discuss the question in the
tracts of the Society, will not acquesce in the change
but those who are thus dissatisfied compose very
small minority, and cannot possibly hope, for many
years to come, to obtain sufficient numbers and in.
fuence to carry out their views

Why is it that the opposition journals hereabout
are silent upon the subject of the Presidents re-
cent letter to the Connecticut clergymen? We see
no mention of it whatever in their columns They
to be totally ignorant Of the existence of such
a document Western Sentinel.
. True enough. 1t was not entirely Convenient for
our K N. contemporaries to publish the Presidents
letter. They were crowded with other matter-or
they intended to publish it, and it slipped their
minds-or they thought their readers would see it
in other journals and BESIDES the fact is, if it must
be told they Were not exactly prepared to let the

immediate wealth did amount to hundreds, while
numbers reckoned their gold by the thousands of

returned miners, some coming hither to invest the
capital they had realized in hopes to live life of
greater ease the result of their industry, and 9TH
ers to get their families and once more 60 to the
land of gold. But as the storm continued to rage,
less and less of gold was thought of, and when, on
Saturday, it became evident that they were likely
at any moment to be buried beneath the waves,
wealthy men dvested themselves of their treasure
belts and scattered the gold upon the cabin floors,
telling those to take it who would, lest its weight,
few ounces or pounds, should carry them TO their
death. Purses, containing in some instances $4,000,
were lying untouched SOFAS Carpet-bags were
opened by and the shining metal poured
out the floor with the prodgality of deaths des-
pair. One Of the passengers, who has fortunately
been rescued, opened bag and dashed about the
cabin $40, 900 in gold dust, and told him who want
