to the tendency to increase the powers of

The sta.o Tair.

We expected to have found some account
Of tho doings in the Raleigh papers, bnt
have been disappointed. The Standard
gives us, however, the address of Mr. Cling
man in full. We make sketch
Mr. c., after referring to the fact that
his avocations have left him too little time
to devote to the acquisition of much prac-
tical knowledge ofagriculture, proceeds to
speak of that science, its progress, and the
physical and political conditions necessary
for its full development and success. He
then refers to the soil, climate, character of
the people and institutions in our State.-
Says that people are mistaken in supposing
that the pine timber lands represent the
general appearance Of the State. They
are only narrow belt.
We have the alluyial deposits in the
East. the pine belt somewhat more itiiar,ii, j.
then the rolling lands of centre--then the
mountain region of the West, with its va
ricd scenery, lofty peaks, long ridges
frighttul chasms and exubcrant fertility.
These varieties of soil and climais fit the
State for producing a great variety of crops,
while at the same time her mineral resour-
ccs are equal If not superior to those of any
other State. Much has been said of the
influence Of elimatc--or Southern Incidence
and Northern energy. This is merely &c
cideutal, if it be SO. The greatest nations
of antiquity, the first dawnings of civilian
ton, both ancient aud modern, have been
in regions having about the same climate as
North Carolina, or perhaps warmer eli
mate.
Z Greece, Rome, Assyria, Carthage, Egypt
have arisen ON or near the margin Of the
Mediterranean, and the most vigorous de-
yelopments of saOfern nlinde have been
found in such Southern men as Napoleon
Bonaparte, Christopher Columbus, aud
Yosco de Gama.
North Carolina was sneercd at as not
having kepa up with the spirit Of tho age.

terred against her with jrsticc. One old
fashiont2 characteristic she still resaincd,
and, he hoped, still would retain, that Of
an honesty which had grown to bo proyer-
bal North Carolina had not welded her

Increase of So Iaries.

We see it stated in some Of our ex-
changes that the Legislature had not on
!y increased the salaries Of the Judges of
the Supreme Court from $ 800 to 5000,
but that they also increased the pay of
Common Pleas Judges from 81, 800 to
1000. ..t.l
We have not seen the Act bearing up
on this subject but. if this be SO. the to-
tai increase in the one item of Judges sal
aries will amount to about forty thousand
dollars. There are over thirty Common
Pleas Judges in the State, and five Su-
preme Judges. B. a ..fo.

eral cry Of hard times, we are inclined to
think that this increase, just at this time,
was uncalled for, and, il necessary at all
should have been postponed until times
