At the reqaest Of highly valued friend, we re.
pubsh the following article from the Warrenton
IN. Cl News" We highly appreciate Mr.. Eaton's
spotless private character, great legal learning and
unfinohing devotion to principle, and are aatsfed
to the people Of North Carolina. In saying this, we
have no desire to depreciae the high claims OF the
other able and learned gentlemen named for the post:
u 8. DISTRICT JUDGESHIP IN NORTH ChROLlNA.
In our last issue We stated that a rumor preva-
lent relative to the appointment Of Senator Biggs to
she vacant Judgeshp. Since then we have learned
that number Of gentlemen, who rank high as states
men and lawyers have united in al unsolicited re.
commentator Of our late Senator, VIM. Eaton, Jr.,
for the same situation. This would be most admi.
rable appointment, and would meet with the unan.
imous appreciation of men Of all parties. We know
of no man who stands higher In the respect and
fdence of the people than Mr.. Eaton. In private
and public life hs bears an rreproachsbe character.
AZ a legislator and lawyer be s second to nons.
while his public services have earned for him this
gratitude and unbouuded confidence of the Demo.
cracy of this section Of The State.
Like all men of true merit, he is modest and unas
suming. and disdains those devious courses, which
are too often the only successful meana of occurring
public ofice-too dearly earned by the ascrfce of
sefrespect. II is this independent spirit joined to
his profound legal Abilities that makes him peculiar.
ly qualified to ll the vacancy on the federal bench.
As soon Rs it hecama known that his name had
besn forwarded to Washington as candidate, allac
quiesced in the proprety of the selection; and thu
most pressing and unsolicited applications were made
by our most influential to representatives in
Congress to second the application with all their in.
Huence Whatever may be the result this tribute
TO his character and services must be most gratifying
to Mr.. Eaton as an unerrlng testimony of his high
standing among his fellow citizens.
We have no hesitation in saying that the appoint
rnent of Mr. Eaton would be received by the Democ-
racy of this district as token that their long and
faithful services in the ranks OF the National par
ty, were properly appreciated in high places and it
would give them new energy in the forthcoming
contest, to hnd that President Buchanan had not
overlooked man of Mr.. Eaon's merit and capacity,
but had used his federal patronage for the promotion
of one "whom the people delight to honor" We
trust that tae deep anxiety which pervades com.
munty on this subject, will be coon allayed by Mr..
Eaton's appointment, for better or purer patriot
neysr donnad the judicial ermne.

Slave Stampedes.

We commend 10 the attention Of our readers
tho following article from the Baltimore Amer
icaL npOn the subject of slave abductions
In looking over our Maryland exchanges we
have recently been struck by the number of
advertisements of runaway slaves. On our
border cuunties especially that species Of pro-
perty is becuming very unsafe investment.
The evil too seems to be constantly increasing,
and Il Is not singular that the owners Of slaves
are bcgnIling to arouse themselves to the ne
ccssity Of instituting some efFectual means Of
protection from such great and frequently re-
curing losses, which annually amount
throughout the State to sums that would
scarcely lie credited. Meetings OF slave-ow-
ncrs have been held in Kent. Queen Annc'S,
Wogcestcr, and other counties with the view
calling an Eastern Shore Convention, tn take
into consideration the existing state Of things.

property, but by other citizens, and have

FEcUNDIrY or RATs.-Buffun, Querhocnt
and others state, that zoo, 900 of rats may be
propagatcd in two years from q single pair.
If this be true, theu there is no occasion to
wonder that dwellings, stores, and Offices are
infested by these troublesome and destructive
vcrmin. II what suca distinguished Natural
lists state be true, then it becomes all, whose
premises are stocked with them, to enter upon
the work Of staying thcm as vigorously as pos
sible, for You see, il lee alone how quickly they
will fill every hiding place adapted to their
wants and necessities. It is with them as most
other vermiD and weeds, if neglected, their pa
tronage soon becomes perfectly overwhelming.
Hence, the old maxin., "A stitch in time saves
nine," or, "An ounce Of prevention is better
than pound Of cure" BE admonished then
to prevent the multiplication of such ills and
evils, as, if suffered TO augment, become almost
incurable A word to the wise is needed, while
TO the slothful and indolent it may be regard

TIE FRoGs LOVE SoNa.-There are assures
at the corners of the frogs mouth which admit
the external protrusions of certain bladdcr-like
pouches, and these are inflated from the wind
pipe, and with these instruments the croakine
noise is produced. The male frog only pos
sesscs these voice-sacs, and Mr.. Auckland sup
poses that their use is for the purpose Of ap-
pris:nS the lady of the presence Of the gentle

WHAT Is THE MATTER n OHro ?-The
negro men of Ohio have coolly set aside the
venerable Giddinys, and raised up another in
his place. What, in the name of benevolcnce
and philanthropy, is the matter? We are alb
solutely alarmed at this sign of trepitlatiun on
the part Of the abOlitionists. If Giddings can
not sustain himself. what safety is there for
Seward, Chase. and Hale9 Who is it that is
responsible for cutting off the head of the VEN
erable Father Giddings? We recollect Cor
win came out few days ago with the dispen-
sation that abolitOnism shall yield a point;
that it shall give up its opposition to the ad-
mission Of any more slave States into the Un-
ION. Can it be possible that the Ohio latter
day saints of the republican church have SCI
up Cnrwin over Gidlings as their Prophet and
Seer? IL looks so. Then, where is Seward
Where is Chascs Where is the republican
party7
