IS Kiss Him Giddings!,,

The Washington Star of Friday last contains
the following. The scene must, indeed, have been
rich one. But seriously. the people of North Car
DINA disown this aithless representative. He makes
speech and takes such action the question of
slavery as call out special attention and special
compliments from Joshua R. Giddings! Giddngs
"bessed him" for the effort 1t was curse in dis
guise. That old man Giddings would foment insur-
recton in our midst-indeed, he has often counsel-
ed our slaves to use the knife and the torch. And
he compliments and congratulates John A. Gilmer!
"Oh for a tongue to curse the slave
Whose treason like deadly blight,
Comes DER the councils of the brave
To blast them in their hour of might"
But to the Stars article:
kiss HIM, G1DD1NGs Kiss HIM, GlDDINGs !!''-
No one who heard the speech Of Mr.. Gilmer. of
North Carolina, mot yet published,) delivered on
the day before yesterday, was surprised on finding
him yesterday doing the work the Republican party
managers nervousiy desired him tG do. Of the
of that speech, it is sufficient to say that it iE
stantly drew rush of congratulating Republican
Observation-Disclosures around him, at its con-
clusion. As the venerable Joshua who was at their
head, bent over him and with outstretched hands,
countenance beaming with delight, blessed him for
the effort, as it were Mr.. George S. Houston. of Ala
bama, moved doubtless by the pregnant points Of
the passing scene, fixed the attention of all present
upon it, by exclaiming, in voice heard by all
Kiss him, Gidlings! Kiss him, Giddings!!"
This exclamation, under the circumstances told,
perhaps, with more force upon the mind of the
House and the spectators in the galleries, than any
hours speech of the session.
In consequence Of the recent Jail breaking in this
city and Of certain discoveries tending to show a
contemplated rescue of the U. S. prisoner Gully,
Marshal Jones has caused guard to be kept night
ly on the Jail.
On Sunday morning last, Sheriff High discovered
that the prisoner Christmas awaiting his trial on
charge Of murder, had been operating his fette1s
with file furnished to him by Sadler, previous to
to his escape. The Sheriff is keeping wary eye
on his boarders.

RALEIGH March %, 1855
TO his Ercellency Governor Bragg:
SIR:-Since your instructions, bearing date Dec.
s26. 1857 relative to the communication Of facts
having relation to the establishment Of National
Foundry somewhere in the valley Of Deep river,
have from time to time pursued my enquiries, and
now have the honor of communicating to your
Excellency the additional information which have
acquired. This additional information, however,
does not relate much to the discovery of new To-
cations Of the metals, to their composition; it
amonnts therefore, simply to the determination of
the chemical constitution of the ores already known
to exist in this valley, with exception, that of
existence of fine bed of iron near Buckhorn
Fails, and about six miles below Lockviie. The
existence of ore at this place known at the time
my report made; but | wished to ascertain
one or two facts respecting it, before it placed
among the reliable resources of this valley. The
Buckhorn ore is massive peroxide of iron. Its
composition is similar to the well Known specu:ar
ore but it is of dull red brown color, and without
crystalization; and is extremely heavy Its streak
is bright red and it is rather tough, but is not diff
cult TO break. 1t would strike at once on
making but slight examination of it, that it is
very rich ore
The vein is eight feet wide, and is contained in
the Taconic States; in which respect, as well as in
its composition, it closely resembles the of Lake
Superior.
On submitting this ore to analysis, found it COM
posed of
Peroxide of iron. \ $500

But Mr.. Gimer's speech presents the remarkable
feature Of perfect originality in its compositions and
exhibits the buoyancy and ease with which light
material swims in political storm. He disdained
treadng in the beaten tracks Of his predecessors,
and dishng up the same old fare for the already
gorged Kansas appetite but boldly struck out into
unexplored regions, and presented an Ola podrida
of inappicable facts wild ancies and strange vaga

insipid Jokes, whose soporiic influence, many of
yonr readers who heard him when candidate for
Governor, gan most truly attest.
At the Conclusion of this sorio. comic exhibition
the Black Republicans crowded around the gentle
men, warmly shaking his hand and offering their
congratulations There was the reverend abolition
Patriarch Father Giddings, whose daily prayer for
long years has been that the slave owner might get
taste of the fires Of that country not mentioned by
geographers and that mis- fasdious nose might snuff
up the "smoke Of their torment as deliciously

According to the tables it contains .l56 of me-
tallic iron.
This vein of remarkable ore, being situated near
the Falls of Buckhorn on the Cape Fear, must be-
come important addition to the resources of this
valley. 1t contains neither alumina, manganese or
lime; and have not been able to detect sulphuret
of iron; and believe it is free from any injurious
foreign substance 1t may be transported for manu-
facture to any point, either upon the Cape Fear or
upon Deep river; and cannot discover any thing in
relation to it, which diminish its value for any
kind of iron.
The next deposit of ore to which wish to call
your Excellency's attention. is upon the plantation
which has been owned by Jonathan Wicker. 1t
will be near the western line of Railroad leading
from Fayetteville to the Coalfieds, or about or
miles southwest from Lockville. This bed belongs
to the coal formation. 1t forms bed in the btu
minous states, and is from to feet thick and very
heavy and massive. 1t is of bright brown red color,
giving also, usual the red streak of peroxide. 1t
contains

It contains maleable iron 1854 per centum. 1t
differs from the preceding in containing more silica,
but no matters injurious to the quality of the iron
which may be manufactured from it. Following
the outcrop of the buminous states southwesterly,
found very prominent outcrop of the brown ore,
usually regarded as an argillaceous oxide of ror at
wander Mclvers, four miles from Egypt. This has
dark brown color in the mass, but in powder is
ochre yellow or yeliowish brown. 1t is very com.
pact and heavy, and from its darker color in the
mass might be suspected of containing manganese.
This ore was worked in the Revolution, and it is
said with good results 1t is composed of
