AGE AND DEBn1rY.-As old age comes creeping
on, it brings with it many attendant infirmities.
Loss of appetite and weakness impair the health,
and want Of activity makes the mind disconnected and
unhappy. In cases where old age adds its influence
it is almost impossible TO add vgor and health, and
although many remedies have been tried, all have
failed, until Boerhave's Holland Btters were known
and used. In every case where they have been EN-.
ployed they have invariably given strength and re-
stored the appetite. They have become great
agent for this alone, and are used by many people
who suffering from loss of appetite and general
debility. In cases oflong standing chronic diseases,
they act as charm, invigorating the system, thus
giving nature another opportunity to repair physical
injuries See advertisement in another column

Bank of the State of North. Carolina.


The stockholders of this institution met in this
City, on Monday last to act upon the question of
accepting or rejecting the charter granted by the
last General Assembly. We learn that the meet
ing is quite full one. Gen. Samuel F. Patterson,
Of Caldwell, is presiding, and E. B. Freeman, Esq., of
this City, is secretary.
On Monday afternoon Mr.. Mordecai, the President
of the Bank, addressed the stockholders at soma
length, and in lucid manner, the past and
present condition of the institution the condition of
the business of banking in the State generally, &C.
No discussion took place on Monday. The stock
holders adjourned to meet this Tuesday, morning
at nine o'clock.
1t is impossible to predict with any certainty the
result of their deliberations Some think the charter
will be accepted, while others think it will be re-.
jected The question will most probably be decided
to-day.

A worthy friend in neighborng county writes
u.s. expressing his regret at language used by US
some weeks since in relation to the destruction
which might be caused by the comet in the event of
its striking any where in the New England States.
We did say that if the comet destined to strike
any portion of the United States trusted it would
make it convenient to "knock off all the New Eng
land States and the State of New York, except the
|'ty, and then 60 on its way rejoicing, leaving the
decent portion of the Union to do the same thing"
our correspondent declares this language to be in
Dad taste, and he was surprised to see it in the
Standard. And he asks us how we would ''like to
De separated" by the knocking off referred to,
from such noble and conservative man as Frank
I'm Pierce, to say nothing about the thousands of
others equally liberal and patriotic" We assure
our correspondent that his suggestions received
In the same spirit in which they were made; and
We wish We knew how to "explain" aud "apolo-
s'ze without saying at the same time that we were
y'A7ng when we penned the article referred to. As
mr. Clay said in this City in 1874, people twill
nave their fun and jollity." And, though we ven-
ured to be Jolly" in illusions to so great an
"oect, we neverthe ess aver that we made mental
''o" as " Tic uauiage 10 DC zone TO new
hns'and,-we wished mentally that all true men in
mat quarter, the Bunker Hill monument included,
might be spared Fortunately, however, the comet
mas coursed off towards some other portion of the
material universe, and We are thereby relieved Of
.e dsagreeable necessity of predicting or wishing
''' lts movements in relation to this planet.
we have thus frankly and briefly " apologized" to
our readers and especially to our correspondent.
'' the language referred to; and we shall be most
happy to learn "by return mail !" that the "apolo.

Bishop Davis, Of South-Carolina.

Bishop Davis, of S0uth.Car0lina.
We copy from the National Intelsigenesr the fol-
loving correct statement of the views entertained
by Bishop Davis as to "Apostolical Succession :"
From the National IntelligenceI]
THE APOSTOLIC SUCCESSION.
MEssRs. ED1ToRR: As you gave place in your pa
per not long since to the statement explained below
viz: that Bishop Davis, of South Carolina, denied
the Apostolic succession-I trust that you will also
insert the accompanying explanation of that state
ment, coming, it does, from high authority in the
Church. ...
W. L. G.
To the Editors Of the Neso YorE Express:
Bishop De Lancy has desired me to forward the
enclosed to you with the request that may be pub
lished 1t is intended by him as an explanation Of
article in last Saturdays Ezpress. to the effect
that Bishop Davis, of South Carolina, "dened the
Apostolical succession"
BISHOP MISREPRESENTATION SUCCESSION.
The Apostles had no successor;
1. As appointed witnesses of our Lords resur-
2. As having been personally called to the Apos-
tleship by Christ himself;
8. As endued with miraculous powers.
Neither of these particulars 60 can 60 by sue
question. In regard to these points the Apostles
had no succession
This is what Bishop Davis and every other Bishop
of the Protestant Episcopal Church asserts and
teaches.
But that the Apostles had successors in the exer-
else of the governing and ordaning power in the
church, and that the Bishops successors to that
power, is in point of fact, is what is held and
taught by Bishop Davis and all Bishops in the
church, and is what is by Apostolical success

HUBARD's BRONZE STATUE OF WAsHINGToN.-
Hubard's statue of WASHINGTON received here
on Thursday evening last, and placed on its pedes-
tai in Capitol Square on Friday. On Saturday, the
4th of July, it was uncovered and an address was
delivered the occasion by Gen. Saunders, in pre-
sence of large audience-for an account of which
see arother column.
This statue is copy in brass, life size, of Hou-
don's Marble Statue of Washington, in the Capitol

statue is perfect possible it pronounced
by Judge Marshall and other eminent persons, who
knew Washington we'll. And We have every reason
to believe that this copy by Mr.. Hubbard, is faith
flu! one. Houdon"-t has been said by writer
in one of the Virginia papers," has transmitted
Washington, and our own Virginia artist Hubbard,
has transmitted Houdon."

w YEAR,

This is Se opening day Of new year. The old
wear pissed to that bourne whence old years re-
Afrowningly, wetly, muddy, hetfully like an
ged misery sinner about to give up the ghost, not
knowing whether his peace was made above or not,
and therefore bent causing as mnch trouble and in
convenience as possible, in order to be remembered
the longer for his dsagreeableness Whether the old
year was shedding tears because of its own wicked
ness or whether il was grieving over the manifold
transgressions Of the human race we are unable to
determine, and don't care fig about the matter any
how All we ask Of young 1857 is to give us better
weather than we have had recently. That's alive
are not extravagant or covetous
The city will be muddy to-day-very muddy-a
legacy left by deceased '56 to his successor. Maybe
it will be rainy, also but, whether sunshiny or rainy
whether the skies smile brightly Or frown gloomly
we wish, with full sincerity, all friends, patrons
and the public generally, a--happy, thrice happy,
New Year
Now, let us ALL on this suspicious morn, forgive,
forget and bury past differences. Let by-gones be
bygones. We all need forgiveness; and, if we do
not obtain it, our sentence will be an awful one when
before the Great Judge. Therefore let us
exercise full measure Of charity towards another
as we hope for charity hereafter
Again, readers, friends and public, a happy New
Year to you ALL and many joyous returns of the day
