MIR. Miller,s Lecture.

The Commons Hall was crowded on Tuesday
night last to hear Lecture by Henry W. Miller
Esq., delivered at the request of the Ladies' Mount
Vernon Association Of Raleigh, in aid of the fund
now being raised for the purchase Of the home and
tomb of WASHINGTON. Mr.. Miller's subject was
" The Eighteenth Century," and was treated in a
most mastery manner. 1t was the ablest and most
impressive effort of his life both as to matter and
manner; and those who know anything of the &c.
MUS and talents of the man, and who did not have
the pleasure Of hearing him, will be enabled to form
from this opinion, which seemed general with the
audience some idea Of the beauty and force Of style
and the learning and eloquence displayed on the
occasion. -
We trust Mr.. Miller will consent to repeat thu
Lecture here and elsewhere, and that afterwards il
may be published, that those who could not heal
it may have the pleasure Of reading it.

however humble he may be- in the County Of Or
ange. We entertain a sincere respect for the peo-
ple and especially for the people of that County.
Mr. Turner's regard for those Of them who are not
rich in this worlds goods, may be from the lips =
ours we know, is from the heart It has never been
our habit to underrate the intelligence or the virtue
of the people, and certainly we have never attempted
to influence them by whisky or barbecues. We do
not know that Mr.. Turner, has, nor do We care
whether he has or not; but one thing we do know,
he will neither injure us nor benefit himself in the
County of Orange, by the.attack which he has made
upon u.s. We are entirely willing that our asser-
tions as to his conduct here shall go forth to the
people Of Orange to be met by his assertions TO- the
contrary; and that his assertions shall be weighed
against ours, and fully weighed, before the people
decide. By that decision we will cheerfully abide,
and from it we shall have nothing to fear. ,..s
The people of Orange can now see what their
Senator has been doing and can determine for them
selves whether they likely to gain anything from
his services in the Legislature of the State.

The new iron barge Enterprise" |" recently built
in Wilmington, Del, and owned by j. H. Anthony,
Esq, and the Messrs Smith, Of Scotland Neck, ar
rived here this morning, in tow Of the steamer
Loper, Capt Phillips, from the mouth Of North
River, whence she had been towed by the Calyp.
So" through the Albemarle and Chesapeake Canal.
This is the largest barge that ever Hoated on the
waters of the noble Roanoke carrying IL 900 bush
els of grain and 800 bales Of cotton She was Wis.
tied by many and much admired. Truly she is
beauty, and manifests what her name indicates.
1t is fitting that such vessel should be the first
to pass through the new Canal which, when COM
peted is destined to be the great thoroughfare Of
nearly the entire rich products Of Eastern North
Carolina ltis certainly the very best policy for our
State to give this enterprise its aid and encourage
ment: as the increased revenue it would receive by
reason Of the increased value Of property made SO
much more contiguous to market would abundant
ly remunerate, Independent Of full dividends which
undoubtedly will be derived from stock invested.

Thescene in the Senate on Saturday. referred to by
our Raleigh correspondent, would appear from the
Report IN the Standard to have been very peculiar
and not very creditable one. 1t would seem that
that was the day set apart for the appointment of
Justices Of the Peace. 1t is usual to pass favora-
bly, upon the lists for Justices in any county, as
proposed by the Commoner from that county, since
he is presumed to know the standing Of the parties
whose names he Offers When the lists for the va
rious counties came from the House to the Senate,
the question was on concurring, which has always
been regarded az little more than matter Of form,
the only change made being occasionally the addi-
ton of one or more Magistrates to the list of any
county at the suggestion of the Senator representing
the district Mr.. Turner, Of Orange, however, de-
termined to oppose ything and everybody, ques-
tioning the characters Of all the proposed Magis-
trates catechisng Senators in an unwarranted man

listed previously between the two and that threats
had been made by both. Mr. Parish, with the con-
sent or by direction Of Mr. Winton, the proprietor
had made out an account for board against Hogg
which the latter had neglected to pay whereupon
he was given to understand by Parish that he would
not be permitted to take seat again at the table
When the time for supper arrived Hogg proceeded
as usual to the diningroom Parish having meanwhile
stationed himself near the door of the ROOM armed
with pistolsahd sxord-cane z As Hogx passed Par
