Entering Town Sites.

The following correspondence will show
that the act Of the last Legislature Of the
Territory, designating the County Commits
siouers as the proper persons to enter Town
Sites, is not recognized by the Commissions
of the Land Office.
II is a question OF doubt whether the Judges
OF Probate, or the United States Judges, can
be regarded as Judges OF the County Court"
AS soon as that doubt is removed, notice will
be given. In the mean time no entering Of
towns not incorporated can be made.
A copy of the act of the last Legislatm e

sioner, and, under the circumstances, the eu-
tries already made MAY he confirmed.

ENBURG COUNTY, NORTH CAROLINA.
THE CAUSES OF THE PANIC.

! In the subioined article, which we trans
fer from New York journal, the reader
will find an intelligent and truthful discus
sion of the present financial disorder that
is scourging the country:
THE MONEY CEIsIs.-NVe have said but
little upon the crisis in our columns. be-
cause it is of no use to reason with panic,
| any more than to reason with whirlwind
or an earthquake, all very unreasonable
and irresistible elements of human destruc-
ton. The panic here must have its course
and exhaust itself, and the very effort to
stop but enrages it. Nevertheless it is a
public duty to examine the causes of this
panic, for by the examination perhaps we
may analyze and hereafter arrest like
causes, and to save the public from dis
trade, and manufactures.
The banks of this city-which, the db-
sence Of the United States Bank, are now
''the great regulators of the countryside
| last summer expanded. when, if the officers
had read the newspapers, and particularly
if they had marked the amount of foreign
importations, with the notices given of
Western land speculations, they ought to
have contracted. The rates of exchange
on Europe, and the struggle for money to
be laid out in Illinois, Wisconsin. Iowa,
Minnesota, and Kansas lands, ought to
have admonished them that expansion was
wrong, if contraction was not necessary.
Nevertheless, they aeent on expanding until
the Ohio Life and Trus: Compcny broke
from sheer mismanagement and folly, which
together with the failure Of the Mechanics
Banking Association, scared the banks
here into sudden and violent con-
traction of millions. The New York
scare at once spread far and wide, for New
York began calling upon all parts of the
United States for specie, and for every dol
lar in specie brought here from the country
there was hundred dollars OF contractions
of currency in paper money elsewhere.
AS we fortified ourselves, others began to
break. The laboring classes became
frightened, rushed to the banks of discount
and to the saving banks for gold and silver,
and hence, perhaps, within thirty days,
there has bcen contraction VI 4ao0,oee,-
600 in paper currency; SO that now paper
currency, good or "bankable," or payable
right off in specie, is unknown in great
part of the United States. The wonder is.
universal, where q man owed anything, no
matter how rich he was ill anything else
but silver and gold.

For the Western Democrat.
TO MY LITTLE COUSIN IN HEAVEN

Once loved darling boy.
A gem, to this world given
A fathers pride, mothers joy,
A star that fell from Heaven.
But earthly beauties must decay,
And choicest riches too must fly:
On angel wings he flew away.
And found happy home on high.
o, blessed land of spirits bright!
How many jewels, rich and rare,
Sparkle in thy realms of Light,
And in thy pure celestial air
An angel came with friendly care
And bore away from mothers arm
An only son and favorite dear,
Vow free from every dread of harm.
Every cloud has silver lining,''
Amid this gloom there's pleasure, too,
For, on his Saviour's breast reclining,
He tastes those joys forever new.
He forms one of the angels band,
A pure, white robe he wears,
And DER yon bright and peaceful land
An angels wand he bears.
How sweet to dwell with cherubs there,
In childish innocence and glee,
A stranger to an earthborn care,
From every pain and sorrow free.
Then weep not, ye loving friends,
Who have felt affliction's woe;
'Tis a mandate Heaven sends
This grief ye all must know.
But strive with Gamie to obtain
A home of blissful peace and love;
Unknown to every mortal pain,
A happy, happy home above.
Q, may you each and every one,
Strive to make your calling sure
And gain eternally home
In Heav'n, e'er beautiful and pure.

$50. 900 Doilors Gireu A,pay

| 100000 Dollars Giren Apay!
Mr.. Lefevre, a wealthy sugar planter of
Lafourche, died recently without issue,
his wife having preceded him to the grave.
| His estate was appraised at about $780,
600. A few days since his will was opened,
when it was found that no had left the
whole of his possession to be divided
equally between two gentlemen of this city
one nephew to his wife, and the other
the broker who transacted his business in
this city, man nowise related to him only
| in the way of his business. To the aston
| ishnent of his friends, this broker, on find
ing tlat he had been made legatee to half
the cd mans estate, (S350, 900 at least,)
went bNfore a notary public and renounced
the whoe legacy, making it over in favor
of the reAtives of the deceased in Fance,
consisting IF nephews and nieces to the
number of twenty or thirty, and all humbly
| situated in lih. The old man had previ-
ously made viii in which his French rela-
tives were Handsomely remembered I; but
on returning from visit to them, not
long ago, for some reason known only to
himself he tore the will to pieces and wrote
new one, leaving evry thing to his wife's
nephew and his broker. as above stated.
lie came to this country when young, a
poor halter; but prosperng in his business,
and finally marrying lady of wealth, he
went into. .the sugar culture, and progress
ed SO well that few years more might
have made him a millionaire. The broker
who SO magnanimously renoGnced his share
of the estate gave as his reason for so
doing, that he was already as rich as he
wished to he, and felt SO independent, that
he did not wish it to be in the power Of any
one to say that any part of Ills fortune was
not of his own making. His independence
will certainly be heartily blessed on tho
other side of the water. We would give
the gentleman's name, were we not satisii-
ed that he claims no merit for his act AID
has no desire to be publicly mentioned in
connection with the matter.-N. O. Ores

SUDDEN DEATH OF THE SHERIFF.-Oul
community was shocked. on Saturday last
by the reported death of Caleb Klutts. Esq
Sheriff of this county. He had been some
what unwell for several days, but was not
supposed to be in any danger. He was
able to be up in his room On Saturday,
and attended to some official business q
few minutes before his death. He rose
from the table after dispatching it. and re-
marking to his wife that he had a severe
pain in the head, laid down on the bed. and
expired, almost instantly. His decease is
a public loss, for he was not only u first
rate officer, but good citizen. He leaves
a wife and young family behind, who,
though well provided for, are thus suddenly
called to experience a deprivation out of
the power of earth to restore.
