An ExPLANAroN.-In addressing a
jury upon one occasion, the celebrated
Mr.. jeffrey found it necessary to make
free with the character of military Off
Ger, who was present during the whole
hsrAngue. Upon hearing himself several
times spoken of as ''the soldier" the son
Of Mars, boiling with Indignation, inter-
rupted the pleader:
-is"Don't call me soldier, sir; l am an
Officer"
Mr.. Jeffrey Immediately went on:
"Well, then, this officer, v1o is no
soldier, was the sole cause of the mis-
chief that has occurred"

The origin of the sign 8 for dollars is
as follows: The Spanish word for dol
lar is peso; in the plural. pesos. In old
Spanish accounts the word is written in
full, and placed before the numerals
Then we find it abbreviated into P. s..
Afterwards we find the small used, the
letter placed on the lower part of the D.
Next that the carved part of the D is
omitted, which gives the present dollar
sign 8. The use of tDO long strokes in
the sign is modern in its use. Thus the
sign s is equivalent for the word pesos.

CoNPosT HEAPs.-A heavy task at
carriage may be saved in making all CON-
post heaps consisting of turf. loan, or
muck, in alternate layers with the ma
nure. by avoiding the practice of making
those heaps in the barnyards, requiring
carting the loan or turf from a distance,
and adopting instead the practice of
placing them as near the land where the
compost is to be applied as practicable.
If these ingredients can be had at the
same place. double carriage may be
saved. Such heaps may be now made
to great advantage. and furnish an excel
lent manure for autumn application

Within the,last week nothing Of Importance has

the announcement of the death of Hon. Thos. II.
Benton both Houses adjourned in respect to his
memory. On the 18Th, the Senate appointed a
committee of conference on the Kansas matter,
consisting of Messrs Green, Hunter and Seward
The Senate has resolved to adjourn on the 7th
of June. The House has appointed Messrs Eng
lish, Stephens and Howard on the Kansas confer
ence committee. Ginacr of this State voted against
the appointment of conference committee. The
man must be crazy.
Senator Broderick refused to obey the instruc-
lions of the California Legislature to go for the

In the Senate on the 18th, the Pacific Rail
Road was discussed. Mr. Polk advocated the loca-

MR. BUCHANAN AND THE OPPOSI-
TON,

The whig papers in this State are now engaged
in tauntng the Administration with its inability to
carry any measure through Congress, although
there is democratic majority in beth Houses.
Does it not strike them that they rejoicing with
black republicanism What is the reason that the
measures of the Administration cannot be got
through Congress? Is it not because about 20
men who were elected as democrats, with S. A.
Douglas at their head, have co-operated with the
dirty aboliionists and oppose measures simply be-
cause the President recommends them?
The whole black republican gang and some
northern democrats, together with such southern
men as John A. Gimer, have set their heads to-
gether for the purpose of throwing obstacles in the
way of democratic Administration. Considering
how Mr. Buchanan has stood up for the equality OF
the States and the rights of the especially
in the Kansas mattcr-we think our whig cotem-
poraries should lament the defeat of Admlnistra-
ton measures rather than show an exultant spirit
by haunting remarks.
When will all southern men learn to sustain
those who are endeayoring to protect their interests
and rights in the Union?

TO THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY OF THE
STATE.

The delegates of the Democracy, in Convention
at Charlotte, have nominated for Governor, John
" Ellis, of Rowan 1t is good nomination, and
will receive my cordial and active seaport. Such
appeal, feel sure, is not necessary; but as
voted for in that Convention, and lest my posi-
ton and feelings should be misunderstood and
misconstrued, appeal to all my friends, in every
portion of the State, to go do, heartily and en-
tirely for this nomination. The nominee is
worthy, and besides, brother Democrats, we owe it
to ourselves, to principles and to the cause of
Constitutional Union, to present solid front to
the common adversary. Men die and pass away
like the dew of the morning; but principles CO.
existent with time, and must be maintained with
out regard to men. Let the preferences and the
passions of the hour have no sway over the great
which is so dear and so important to us ALL
To my friends from every portion of the State
who stood by me at Charlotte and who urged my
humble name for the nomination for Governor
and especially TO the gallant and indemitable De-
mocracy of the mountain Counties-I tender the
homage and the thanks of grateful heart.

est in 1.-The peculiar institution so offensive to the
political party he has lately joined Thus heis said
have sold-as the trustce-the negroes in Missis-
sppi inherited by his children by his first marriage
Until he had done that, there could be no reasona
bic hope that the Republican party of his own
State would admit him into full communion with
their organization. They made grand handle
of the fact of his late connection with slavery as
explained above, up to the time he commenced
knocking at their door for admission. Since ther,
we have seen nothing on the subject in any Abo-
lition newspaper. Nevertheless, while his children
remained shareholders and he the trustee manag-
ing slave property for their benefit, he could not
entertain a reasonable hope of receiving Republ-
party support for reelection to the Senate of

is irresistible. Home must be the seat of happiness

when the wife possesses firmness; decision and

can counterfeit Incidence, extravaganza and folly
