LITERARY BoARD.-The people who live in the
Lake region of Hyde County, are loud and bitter
in their complaints against this board, for permit
ting citizen of that county to throw dam across
the public canal, leading from Alligator Lake to
Pungo River, in order to supply his private Mill
Pond with water. Without excessive rains, the
Lake Country has been flooded with water this
spring, to the utter ruin of many valuable farms.
One of the most pregnant of the causes which has
produced this unfortunate result is attributed to the
closing of This canal. We understand that some of
the persons injured talk of suing the board for dam
ages.
The defence of said Board is novel one. They
assume, that because water may run near the head
of canal ditch, it does no harm to close it at its
mouth! What pity the State cut the canal SO
long and so deep at first! The present board have
made valuable discovery in Hydraulic Engineer
ing Washington Dispatch.
We are authorized to say that no authority has
been given by the present Literary Board to obstruct
the canal as above stated and that it not known
to the Board that any such obstruction had been
made, or that there was any complaint about it.
The Board therefore, has made no "detsnce"
whatever, and least of all such that stated by
the Dispatch We will state farther, that the Pres
ident of the Board, as as informed of it. took
immediate steps to have the obstruction removed.
Does the Dispatch think it right to make its facts
in the premises in order to let off its wishy washy
wit?

~ The Carolina Watchman, in sits notice Of the
personal difficulty between Judge Ellis and Mr. Nc
Rae does the former gross injustice. The Watch
man says:
"Hs Honor, Judge Ellis, it viii be observed, gave
the first insult and the first blw-just like spoilt
child. determined on hdoing his oton toay. Those
who have observed any thing at all, know how often
such persons get themselves into trouble. will,
regardless Of consequences" is dangerous motto,
70 that is that other desperate sentiment-"Tule or
ruin." Conservative, law.abiding people ought to
"spot" those who act upon such principles.
Judge Ellis did not give the first insult He had
been arguing legitimately and truly that under al
Tho circumstances the election of Mr. McRae would
be regarded as an encouraging sign by the black
Republcans There are but two organized parties
IN this country, the Democratic and the black Re-
nublican The latter is the opposition TO Democracy
IN the Northern States, as Know Nothingism, which
&c sustaining Mr. McRae is the opposition to Democ.
racy in the Southern States This opposition can
have but one common end in view, to w.t. the pros
tr,,iou of the national Democracy. Mr.. McRae is
doing his part to divide and PROSTATE the Democra-
~ South, as others of the opposition doing their
mart to divide and PROSTATE it in the North. He
onposes Lecompton and sympathizes with Judge
Douglas for one reason, while the opposition North
onpose Lecompton and sustain Judge Douglas for
another reason This substantially the view which
Judge Ellis was taking, at the same time carefully
abstaining from impeachng Mr.. McRaes personal
soundness on the question Of slavery. He had taken
tbe same view at Clinton and elsewhere, and Mr..
McRae had not regarded it as personal insult; but
at Beaufort he appeared to take fire at this line of
argument pursued by Judge Ellis, and turning upon
that gentleman, by has manner more than by his
language, brought him to his feet. The latter, in
reply to calls by Mr.. McRae, repeated what he had
said in the course of his argument that and FORM
er occasions; whereupon Mr.. McRae gave him tie
lie, or pronounced him guilty of falsehood, which
was the same thing As matter of course, Judge
Ellis struck him. Mr.. McRae struck back, and they
were parted.
We leave it to all conservative and law-abiding
people, upon this plain and correct statement of the
facts, to determine who gave the first insult. The
truth is, the Watchman has also done Mr.. McRae
injustice for it has placed him in the attitude of hav
ing been first insulted and then struck. The con-
trary is the fact lie gave the first insult, and was
struck for it, and hence the friends of the two gen.
temen experienced but little difficulty in reconcing
the personal difference

No MORE IAxES.-Ihe efforts OF the opposition,
says the Charlotte Democrat make it appear that
Judge Ellis and the Democratic party of North Car
DINA are in favor of high taxes, are unjust and
perversion of their true position. They are not to
blame for the present rate of taxes. If there is
fault anywhere, it can be placed Mr.. McRae and
his supporters with greater propriety than upon the
Democratic party. But this cry of high taxes is
raised for the purpose of defeating Judge Ellis
than for anything else, and are glad to see one
Of Mr.. McRaes supporters, the Fayetteville 06serp-
er, reburking it wrong and unfair. We copy the
following from the Observer of the Sd inst.

ed in the official account published in the Salisbury
Watchman,) we find the following resolution, offered
by Hon. N. Boyden, and unanimously adopted
Res0lUed, That we are opposed to any further
increase of the State debt for internal improve
ments."
1t is with sincere regret that we have noticed this
and other similar assaults upon the system of inter-
nal improvements,-for they amount to nothing less.
Either must increase the State debt or put stop
to all further mprovement-and to that We are ut.
terly opposed, as every North Caronian must be

State, and who would like to see her keep pace with
her neighbors for the future There are those, it is

in great part by taxing those who have got nothing
who SO selfish as to wish to stop now. But
Salisbury and Rowan are not precisely in that con-
dit,on. They have got one railroad running through
their town and county, BY which they and their
produce get off North. East or South. But they
have just commenced another which will enable
them to 60 West, and what is more important, ena-
bic the West to come to them Now as that road
is only just begun, as it were, we ask Mr.. Boyden
and his Rowan friends whether they are Opposed to
any further increase of the State debt" to complete
that road? If they are, why then let them say so
to the next Legislature and they have it stopped
just where it is. Do they wish to make that road
an exception? If SO, why? Merely because it
comes to their own town.? And should all the rest
Of the State agree to pay taxes to make road for
their accommodation whilst they against all roads
but their own?
1t is very certain that as long as that work is
prosecuted, the increase of the State debt to which
they are opposed, must 60 on. We call upon them
to let their patriotism begin at home, by putting a
stop to the increase of the debt for their own road
When they relieve the State of its pledge of OOO-
o0o to that road they utter manly and unself-
ish voice in favor of their principle Of State

FIRST OF THE SEAsoN-Mr. John Barnes brought
to market yesterday and this morning three water
melons, raised in his garden in the suburbs Of town.
These are the earliest melons we have ever known
in market. Mr.. B. deserves great credit for his
industry and perseverance in the gardening business
and we have no doubt receives liberal patronage
from our citizens. His cabbages and other garden
vegetables equal to any we saw in this Sec
ton 1t affords us pleasure to note these improve
ments in the production of garden vegetables, in
this section during the past four five years. There
are several gardens now near town, from which our
market is we'll supplied with the best of cabbage,
turnips, onions, peas, beans, &C. Such was not the
case few years ago, when we had to send from
home for similar articles. BY the way, should
have stated that Mr.. Barnes sold his water-melons
for 81 each.- Wilmington Journal
