Theodore Bland, worthy patriot and states
man, was native of Virginia, and descended
from an ancient and respectable family in that
State
He was bred to the science of physic, but up
on the commencement of the American war he
quilted the practice, and took an active part in
the cause of his country. He soon rose to the
rank of Colonel, and had the command of regi-
ment of Dragons While in the army he fire.
quently signalized himself by brilliant actions
In the year l779, he was appointed to the com
mand of the Convention troops, Gas they were
called) at Albemarle barrack, in Virginia, and
continued in that situation until some time in
the year 1880, when he was elected to a seat in
Congress. He continued in that body three
years, the time allowed by the confederation.
Afterthe expiration of this term, he again re-
turned to Virginia, and was chosen member of
the State Legislature. He opposed the adop
ton of the Constitution of the United States,
believing it o.be repugnant to the interests of
his country, and was in the minority that voted
against its ratification But when it was at
length adopted, he submitted to the voice of the
majority. He was chosen to represent the dis
trict in which he lived, in the first congress un-
der the Constitution.
: He died at New York, June LIST, 1870, while
attending session of Congress, in the forty
ninth year of his age. x He was honest
open candid and his conduct was such in his
intercourse with mankind as to secure universal
respect.
de had quite talent ard genius for poetry,
but few pieces remain, so far as know, to
stand as memorial of him.

THE KANsAs-NEBRAsKA BILL.-While the
Opposition papers of this State denouneing the
Kansas Nebraska bill, and abusing the democratic
party for its passage, it is well to remind them that
their Senator at the time, the Hon. Geo. f. Bad
ger, took active part in putting the bill through
working for it and voting for it side by side with
Mr. Douglass. If we mistake not, Mr. Badger in
troduced the amendment to repeal the Missouri
compromise, and he did right; but it looks bad
for the oppositionists -know-nothings, wings, &c.
&c.,-to praise and magnify Mr. Badger, and then
denounce the Bill and some of those who supported
it. The settlement of the slavery question at that
time was the best ever made or could be made, and
all the hubbub gotten up by the opposition about
it for the purpose of breaking down the nation
al democratic party.

CUMBERLAND FAIR.-We return thanks to the
Executive Committee for an invitation to attend
the annual Fair of the Cumberland county Agr-
cultural Society," at Fayetteville, on the 3D. Sd and
18th of Nov: AS we have heretofore announced,
w. w. Holden, Esq, is to deliver the Address.
We had promised ourselves the pleasure of meet
Ing many of our old friends in that section on the
occasion of their Fair, but regret that we find 1t
inconvenient to leave at that time.
Changing the subject slightly, We must say that
we are highly gratifed at the evidences we have
through the Fayetteville papers of the increasing
prosperity of that old town. Business Of all kinds
has greatly increased within the past year, and with
the completion of the Railroad to the coal fields in
Chatham county, (and connection with the n
G. Road, which we consider certain at some
time,) Fayetteville will again assume her ancient
fame as a great commercial mart. No people are
more deserving of success, for they have fought
through many difficulties, and it is matter OF
general qualification that they are about overconl-
ing them.
