Struck Dumb.

We are not at all astonished to see the K. n.
papers of the State struck suddenly dumb in regard
to Mr.. Clingman and his position distribution.
The Raleigh Register published letter from some
wag stating that Mr.. Clingman not only out for
distribution, but that he went further than the
X. Ms and Wings in his advocacy of it; and
aghtway the whole K. n. press in the State and
out of the State raised jubilant shout, and exut
ingy enquired "had the Standard heard the noun
tain thunder ?"-"w would the Standard read Cling
man out of the party?' &c. But even before their
first chuckle subsidized the Asheville Spectator, one
of their own kidney, upset all their joty by giving
Mr.. Clingman's "exact language" and now, instead
of mrth, the pail of silence has settled upon them,
and like sheep before their shearers they open not
their mouths, neither do they lift their pens to
rect the error they have given currency to.
AS we said, we are not astonished at this True,
justice demands it, but who expects justice from a
X. N. press? When it deals in that article then
shall we be astonished indeed Has the editor OF
the Register seer the Spectator? If So did he feel
any shock ?-anything like mountain lightning had
struck him? Will he try to read Mr.. Clingman
into his party?
But that letter-wrter Mr.. Clio, must be face.
tious fellow. No doubt he has had his own fun
in seeing how easily he quzzed the whole tribe Of
X. N. editors. If they were not Know Nothings
they would learn lesson from it.

MEssRs. EDITORS A short time since noticed
an article in your paper relative to the loss of
act of the last General Assembly, entitled San act
to incorporate the North Carolina and Virginia Rail-
road Company"
No such act appearing among the laws of the last
session when published, l had, behalf Of The
Secretary of State, replied by letters to Mr. March,
the member from -Da re, and Mr.. Houck, a member
from Rowan, that no such act had been deposited
in the Secretary's office. The same statement was
made upon my authority in your article on the
subject.
Learning that one of the Salisbury papers had
since stated that Mr.: Houck said that he had him
self taken the bill after its ratification and deposited
it in the Secretarys Office, and that the matter
between Mr.. Houck and the Secretary, felt it due
to Mr.. Hill as well to myself had had charge
owing to his continued indispositon, to trace out
the bill if possible, satisfied l was that it had
never been deposited in the Secretarys office by Mr..
Houck or any other person.
am now able to inform Mr.. Houck, and all 9TH
ers taking interest in the matter that search
by the assistant clerk among the papers in the Office
Of the clerk of the Senate, the bill was found, and
that appears to have been ratified by the Speakers
OF course the statement that the bill deposit
ed in the office of the Secretary of State was in
correct
1t is not my purpose to censure any one, but
merely defend myself and the Secretary of State
Every acquainted with the hurry and confds-
ion of the last moments of session Of the General
Assembly, can well account for the failure of the
bill to reach the Secretary's office without mputing
negligence to any of the officers.

OBITUARY NOTICE.


MEssRs. HOLDEN & WILSON 1T is my painful
duty to communicate to you the loss of one of our
most estimabe citizens Elder George I. Coggin
died at his residence near South Lowell, in this
County, about o'clock, on the morning of the 9Th
instant in the 56th year of his age.
He had been for many years a minister Of the
primitive Baptist Church. to whose interest he de-
voted himself with such zeal, consistency and hon.
esty of purpose to command the respect and
admiration even of those who differed with him in
matters of faith. He was scrupulously honest and
upright in all his dealings with his fellow men, and
while we do not claim for him Tor any other human
being) nallibility feel justified in saying that his
errors, whatever they may have been, were not Of
the heart. He had been in failing health for many
months prior to his DEATH but bore his Affections
with great resignation and an unwavering conf
dence in the God in whom he trusted. His death
was calm and peaceful and apparently painless.
There was not struggle nor even the moving of a
muscle to herald the "fell monsters" approach.
He leaves devoted wife and five affectionate chill
dren to mourn their irreparable loss. Notwith-
standing the notice of his funeral very short, a
large number of his friends and neighbors were
present, and followed his mortal remains to their
last sad resting place. and tears were on that
occasion in many eye unused to weeping.
