the following from the Charlotte Democrat, which,
we are sure, is well intended and uttered in no un-
kind spirit:
STATE FAIR-The Annual Exhibition of the
North Carolina Agricultural Society will commence
IN Raleigh the goth of October, and continue for
four days. We hope our Raleigh friends will make
better provisions for accommodating strangers who
can't get shelter in the Hotels, than they did last
year. We had some experience last year in the way
of finding Hotels crowded, and not able to procure
place to Sleep"

SURPLUS IN THE TREAsURY.-The Fayetteville o.
sercer, assuming that there now $40 OOO 900 in
the federal treasury and that the tariff will produce
the present year $50, 100000, estimates that there
will be on hand at the end Of the fiscal year, $780,
100000. Without intending to endorse what the
Observer says to reply to any part Of just now,
or to explain some mistakes into which he has fall
len on the subject, give his article as follows:
"All parties, we believe, agreed that the mo-
ney must not stay in the Treasury. 1t must be got
ten rid of in some way, and the only question is as
to the way. This question has passed from the
hands of the people into those of their Representa-
tives. And these latter have been instructed all
through the South-f indeed the results of popular
elections are indications of popular sentment-not
to distribute the proceeds Of the public lands, by
which in great part the surplus has oeen secured
The same results have quite as strongly endorsed
the votes of nearly all our Southern Congressman
in favor of depositing that same surplus with the
States 1t is to be hoped that our Representatives
will heed the popular voice, so strongly expressed,
and that they will again vote for deposite and early
enough in the session to have the bill put through
, the Senate
1t is true, the Wilmington Journal once wisely
remarked, that there is not particle of difference
between distribution and deposite. But that is so
much the better. All parties will be pleased. The
Democrats, (all except the journal, which has been
disposed to draw too fine point,) are in favor of
deposite. The Americans all in favor of disri-
button. Either plan will give us the money. We
are for the money. Therefore we are for dstribu-
ton and deposite, either both, and will not quar-.
rel with the title of the act. Distribute the money
if you can. But if the majority insist upon depos
iting it. and the only difference is in the name, why
In all conscience deposite it. Like the rose, the
public money will smell as sweet to Mr.. Treasurer
Courts, don't he wish he may get it p whether dis
trbuted or deposited in his hands But we arc
aware that the Treasurer thinks there is vast diff
ference between distribution and deposite W.
think that he thinks very curiously in thinking so
Yet as both of want the funds, the funds can
not reach except through his hands, and as he i
opposed to having them distributed into his hands
though quite willing to have them deposited there
why, like reasonable men, we say throw distribu
ton to the dogs. Deposite is the word"

Dioinity Doctors, Professors and President Bu-
chanan.
WASHINGTON, Sept 2.-The letter spoken of by
the press from several Professors and Doctors of D
vinity in Connecticut, will be published tomorrow
with tho Presidents reply.
The former is couched in language, and abounds
in expressions, highly insulting. 1t intimates that
the President has violated his oath. They say
"They see with grief, Walker openly represents the
President, and is employing through him the pres
ence of an army in Kansas to force people to obey
laws not their own nor those of the country That
by the foregoing assertion, the Presidents procam-
ed violating in its most essential particular the
solemn oath he has taken to support the Constitu-
tion"
They also say: "He is held up to ,nnnkind as
levying war against the Union" They conclude by
saying, "they have also taken oath support the
Constitution, and will pray God to make his admin
istration example of justice, benefcence etc"
Mr.. Buchanan replies in effect that those are
heavy charges and if well founded ought to consgn
his name to infamy but ne adds, that common jus.
tice and christian charity, required before making
them that these charges should have been ascertain
ed to be we'll founded. If not, they will rebound
| with whitening condemnation on the authors He
asks if they have performed that duty. If so, he OF
they, have been laboring under strange delusion.
| Should this be the case, 1t presents memorable
example Of the truth, that political prejudice is blind
to the existence Of the painest historical facts
He then reviews the history of the territory. Says
he found the government of Kansas as well estab
lshed as that of any other Territory, and it is hi
duty to sustain this government-to protect it fl on
the violence Of lawless men-to prevent it bein,
overturned by force. 1t was this which caused hin
to order troops to Kansas to act posse conitatu
to aid the civil magistrate in enforcing the laws.
He administers whitening rebuke to their assum
ed piety, and says they greatly assist him i
arriving at the blessed consummation of making tn
administration example of justice, by their infu
ence in allaying sectional excitement the subjec
Of slavery.
He places his trust in God, and hopes to be in
strumental in restoring harmony and peace. Ell
has entire confidence in Gov. Walker, and know
that the troops will not be employed except to re

THE SARATOGA WATERs.-The Senior Editor Of the
Fayetteville Observer writes as follows from Sara
toga:
1t used to be the jocular wish of a former citi.
zen of Fayetteville, in his convivia moments, when
extending generous hospitality to his friends, that
he could have upon his plantation a. spring that
flowed champagne increasingly. Every body knew
that his wish was much for his friends as for
himself We have here better than a champagne
sprng-one that exhilcrates without intoxicating
that rejuvenates mind and body, not temporarily
and to be followed by langour in the case of the
wine, but permanently, giving health and strength
one that cannot be aduterated, but that gushes
increasingly, prfect from the hand of the great
Maker of all good and perfect things. am thank
ful that it exists and that of it have been so often
permitted to drink and be healed. l wish that we
had such fountain in North Carolina. Possibly
we have, in some unexplored Wild its delightful
water running to waste, as too much else that is
good is permitted to to waste in North. Carolina
We learn that there is a spring in Western North
Carolina Wilson's spring. near Shelby, in Ceave.
land-which is said to be nearly if not quite equal
in virtue to the Saratoga waters. The proprietor,
however, has not improved the premises to any
considerable extent, and declines to sell, having
been offered we learn, as much as 1000 by a
company for the spring and portion of the grounds
He annually realizes a considerable sum from Wis
itorS.
