SALE OF NEGRO PROPERTY.

Sixty.nine negroes were sold at the Cherokee
Iron Works, Spartanburg District, on Wednesday
last Many of them are valuable on account Of
their several trades, and were bought ut extrava-
CANT prices by those engaged in manufacturing
iron elsewhere. The prices are extravagant, how
ever, only in appearance, for trained workmen can
command double the wages of novices, and Of
course, must sell proportionab]y higher. The ne
groes sold as follows: "Man, woman and chill
dren $4,000 man, woman and two children, So,
72O; man, woman and three children, S4, 800; two
men and one boy $3.50; man and three children,
$4,000; woman and three children, $4,000; man
and wife, 5000; man and wife, Sl,625; one girl,
IA years old, S1,050; and another, same age, 81,
l25. The thirty-fve others sold at an average Of
S1,134."
A girl, Is years old, was put up by gentle
man in the neighborhood, and brought Sl,0O5.-
The negroes belonging to the company were sold
on credit Of eight months.

PATENT NOSTRuMs.

Msssrs. Editors 1t is lamentable fact, that
large portion of the population of these United
States, manifest o strong tendency to cure their
own diseases by the vile and filthy compounds
that are manufactured and sold BY set of crafty
charlatans whose only design is to fill their pock-
cts with money. And in order to render their
medicines saleable, one of the first steps taken by
them for the attainment of this end, is, to have
label of their medicine filed in some of the Clerks
Offices of the United States Courts, and then ad-
vertise and sell them as patented compounds,
when in reality, there is no more validity in pro-
ceedings of this kind, than if no such record had
been made. And it does seem to me, that it is q
great abuse, and perversion Of the provisions of
law in relation to copy rights, to suffer Quacks to
impose upon the public and to delude the ignor-
ant and inconsiderate, into the purchase and use
of the various nostrums catholicons, and panaceas
which are so much worse than useless, to the com.
munity.
There are means provided in the Patent Laws
for securing to any individual, the exclusive right
to 'any new and useful art, machine, manufacture
or composition of matter; or any new and useful
improvement on any art, machine, manufacture,
or composition of matter" which be may invent; :;
and the necessary requirements in order to accom-
plish the purposes are clearly and definitely pre-
scribed, as follows: "But before any inventor
shall receive patent for any such new invention

NORTHERN PUBLICATIONS.

The South should first support her own publ
cations, but there are Northern papers which are
deserving of patronage, from their literary merits,
and because they have neither bowed the knee to
the Baal of fanatcism, nor stopped to pander to o
morbid and sickly tasteSGoDEY, among Magazines,
is unexceptionable as ladies' book. 1t is not o
libel on its name. fit has no great thought or
profound erudtion it has beautiful engravings,
useful recipes, and all the fashionable news of the
day-everythng that q lady esteems an accom-
plishment and this is all that it pretends to have
Porter's Spirit Of the Times, is what it pretends
to be-a spirited sheet, always racy and replete
with, "fun fact, and fancy" Rare sport, broad
humor and graphic sketches, commend it to the
sportive and pleasure loving.
The Home Journal is, we confess, peculiar
favorite with u.s. 1t is emphatically the cream of
literary journals. With N. P. WILLIS and GEORGE
P. MoRR1s as editors, and bright list of contri-
butors, it is easy to imagine its merits. Nothing
is inserted that would not grace the pages of BLACK
WOOD. The elegant style and genial humor of
WILLIS, together with his poetry the music of
MORRIS, swinging on hinges of honey, and 6 cote
'rie of writer's almost rivallng these veterans in
their peculiar provinces, make the Home Journal,

CHARLoTTE CELEBRArroN.

Having, contrary to our expectation, missed the
grand pageant at Charlotte on the Goth instant,
we take the liberty of inserting, for the informa-
tion Of our readers, the following piquant des-
cription of it by correspondent Of the. South
Carolinian:
mr. Editor Having determined to be present
in Charlotte at the grand Goth of May celebration
of the "Mecklenburg Declaration Of Independ-
ence, we left Columbia on Tuesday morning, and
after a pleasant ride over the comfortable and
we'll conducted road which connects our city with
the time.bonored "capital of Old Mecklenburg,"
we arrived safely at the depot within the schedule
time. The cars were full, and ever and anon our
way was cheered by bursts Of merry music, or
strains of plantive melody from the skiful color.
ed Quadrie Band, which accompanied us from
Columhiato assist in the festivities of the occa.
sion.
Upon our arrival at the Mansion House in Char.
lotte, we found that both hotels wereful to oysr.
flowing, as were also oil the private residences,
which had been kindly thrown open to strangers,
and we had almost made up our minds to return
on the night train to Columbia, when q .distin-
guished physician of the town, to whom we b,is
an Introductory letter, kindly offered US part Of
his room Being at ease in regard to our lodgings,
we sailed forth to see the preparations for the
approaching glorifcation, and busy scene did
the streets Of the old town present. Hundreds
were collected on the public square, to enjoy the
sweet music discoursed by the Charlotte SAKE
Horn Band;" the sulen roar of artillery came
booming on the air, as the sunset salutes were
fred from the depot, while the stars and stripes,
the glorious old rag of rebellion" flu'tered from
every house-top, and Aoated proudly on the even
ing air from the summit Of the lofty Liberty-pole

suredly the time is not far distant when she will
stand united and the base Belial will no longer
dare to counsel submission,
s'Though his tongue
Dropt mama and could make the worse appear
The better reason, to perple1 and dash
Maturest counsels."
And such appears to be the pervading sentiment
of the South. She has ceased to hope that there
is conservatism enough at the North, to preserve
the constitution invioate. She no longer expects
returning sense of justice to restrain the fanati-
cism of the abolitionists. She must be blind not
to perceive the tendency to consolidation and all
the evils of an irresponsible majority.
Men are frequently deceived by name. Un'
til experience teaches them the reverse they think
all flowers are fragrant. Call certain medicine
calomel and they refuse it-cal! it "blue mass"
and they swallow it without any scruples. And
so in the political world, men mistake Republican
ism as the synonyme of liberty. With as little
perversion of language it will mean tyranny. A
Republic in which the rights of the minority are
protected is most favorable to liberty, but Re-
public in which the majority are left to the guild
ance of their self-interest is of all forms which
tyranny con assume, the most odious and insuf-
ferable. Those who counsel longer continuance
in the Union should show how the South, already
in minority, is to protect herself against an mr.
bitrary majority. Until this is done, they are
pleading for the most odous tyranny on earth
Were the slavery agitation done away with by the
total emancipation of the slaves or the conviction
es tse North thnt IL TO THAR intarSst not to
interfere farther with the institution, that same
spirit of aggression would characterize the North
and we would still be as far as ever from peace
We might remain in the Union and hope for
change for the better if it lay in the power of man
to make that change. But it is circumstances
controlling men. Unless we suppose the North
capable of acting contrary to her interests, we
cannot indulge the hope that her increasing ma
jority will be more willing to do us justice now,
than when the contest was more equal. What then,
if some miracle should hush up the slavery war,
could be our chance fo- peace and justice ir the
Union?

In politics, the Nep York Day Book is perhaps
the soundest and most orthodox. 1t deserves the
patronage of our merchants and business men.
The Banner of Liberty is thorough democratic
sheet and particularly severe on all the hypocriti-
cal 'sms" and religious sects, "falsely so called"
that flourish in the Northern atmosphere. 1t con-
tains likewise some rare humor. All of the above
papers we can commend to the Southern reader,
and some of them we think less noxiousthan many
of the lukewarm, equivocal papers published in
our midst.

OUR MILITARY SCHOOL.

On yesterday morning, the young soldiers be-
longing to the Kings Mountain Preparatory Mill
tary School, paraded our streets to the sound ef
martial music. We were struck with their SOL
dierly bearing and the precision and exactness
with which they performed the various evolutons.
The Principals, Messrs. COWARD and JENKINS,
with the able corps of assistants, Messrs. SEA
BROOK, LAW, and ABBOTT, deserve the highest
praise for the successful conduct of this institu
ton. 1t is now permanently established, and with
the opinion growing in the State, that no other
School system suits SO well the Southern youth,
it must continue to extend the sphere of its USE
fulness The number of Cadets already equals
that of most Of 6ur Colleges, and it is the beauty
and excellence of the system, that its strict disc
plne precludes the possibility of that disgracefu
insubordination, which so frequently distracts
our Literary institutions. Men who want their
sons trained to habits of promptness, temperance,
punctuality and obedience, while, at the same time
they are laying the foundation of a solid education
should patronize the military school. The vari
ous extrayagances and excesses which character
ize our colleges, the lax discipline and nsubordi
nation among the students, make them dangerous
nurseries for the intractabe Southern youth
The Kings Mountain School offers other attrac-
tons to those wishing an education. Located in
one of themost beautiful villages in the State out
of the reach of contagious diseases, in q healthy
locality, the cheapness, the successful training,
the railroad and other conveniences, make it the
most desrableand popular school in the State. To-
day, we understand, a vacation for six weeks, be-
gins. We hope to see the Cadets returning in July,
looking as hale and hearty rs they did yesterday,
and each bringing With him friend whom his
progress and good conduct induces to try the
Kings Mountain Preparatory Military School.

HARRIS. 1t appeared to be neither Of the Fox
nor Gray species, buta halfway imitation of both
in point of size, and as to its color, which was
orange or buff, it is so far as we know, new in
vention, just patented and warranted to wash
without fading. 1t was killed near this place, and
from evidence indubitable to the hunter, left be-
hind her young family to lament her loss and
deplore the unerring shot, which left them orphans
dependent on the cold charities of backward
crop of roasting-ears, acorns and hickory-nuts.

"We, your petitioners, citizens of the Up

WINGED that great advantages would be de-
rived by the people of this Peninsula by its
separation from the Lower Peninsula of this
State, and the cession of it to the Govern
ment of the United States for the purpose OF
forming from the same new Territory or
State, and knowing that it is almost the
unanimous desire of our people to have this
project consummated, respectfully pray your
honorable body to enact such laws as will Sc
cure to US this most desirable measure. In
thus urging this project upon your consider
alton, we are actuated b. no feelings of dis
respect or disloyalty to our State, but, being
fully satisfied that nothing would so much
tend to develop our resources, and that many
incalculable advantages would arise under a
separate government, we do not hesitate to
respectfully urge your favorable action upon
the subject"
