The n. G. Planter for August has been forwarded
to subscribers, with its pages laden with valuable in
formation and suggestions 20 the farming communi-

of North-Carollna subscribe to this publication

subscribers to Justify him in continuing the work:
To THE AGRICrLTuRls1s OF NORTH C ARoLINA- The
Publisher of the North Carolina Planter has very
great desire to continue its publication but he frank
" states that he cannot do so beyond the present
year. unless its list of subscribers is very greatly in
creased! He has appealed SO often to the Friends
of Agriculture in the State, to come to the rescue
and interest themselves in getting subscribers, and
these appeals have been responded to by SO few
thanks, however, to the few who have given us
their assistance) that he feels no encouragement to
make further appeals either to their professional
pride, patriotism, in giving their aid to sustain
North Carolina Agricultural journal. He therefore
offers the following liberal inducements to persons
to subscribe; and if these fall the Planter must be
abandoned. The Publisher cannot afford to lose
money by its publication any longer.
For two dollars, sent By the 1st day Of January
nert, the N. c. Planter for 1858, 1859 and 1860
will be sent-that for is three years for two dollars
This is orer one thousand pages of Agricultural read
ing especially adapted to our own State, for two
dollars Surely, no one can refuse to subscribe now
on account of the price.
And any of our present subscribers who will send
us four neao subscribers, shall receive copy extra
We expect by these propositions to greatly in
crease the subscription list of the N. G. Planter
and we do earnestly hope that all who desire its
continuance, will give their aid in enabling TO
do so.

Under Democratic rule we are, what we are,

which is our cause for fear for free institutions.
Though our falibility prevents us from all seeing
eye to eye yet inexprcssible interests should
curb our ambition as to prevent trespass upon
Judgments.
The Democratic party has become to be a popular
party and have far, since they came into power,
sustained unimpaired our national character, and
to-day we are free and independent people, bidding
defiance to the world in the enjoyment of our just
rights ~:sdom if we would hear her gentle voice,

NATTER involving such unexampled interests We
all know that former Republics by proud ambition

"You will see that the Rev. DR.. 'IIawks, of this
CITY, has been elected Professor of History in the
University of North Carolina. However hattering
this mark of confidence and respect for him and his
superior abilities may bc on behalf of his native
State, it is believed by influential members of his
congregation here that the doctor will feel himself
constrained to decline it"
The Raleigh correspondent of the Petersburg En-
press says
"There is great anxictry felt that he should ac-
cept the appointment. 1t will afford him such a
fine opportunity to prosecute his History of North
Carolina, which, as far as completed, has already
added much to his reputation and to the cause of
American historical literature. What rich treat
it would be 10 the young men of the University
aye, to the old men of the country at large even,
to hear course Of lectures on History from DR..
Hawks! The Alumni of the University, which has

may well be proud of the action of the Trustees in
the election of such a man to such important

MEssRs. EDITORS The Legislature of Virginia,
some year or two ago. proposed a joint commits
sion to run and mark the dividing lines between
that State and the State of North Carolina from
the point where the dividing line between Pitt
sylvania and Henry counties in the State of
Virginia, intersects with the North-Carolina line
to the western limits of the State" Our Legis-
lature acceded to the proposition, and Fowlkes
Smith, ESQ.,, of Patrick, has been appointed
commissioner on the part of Virginia, and Hon.
John Hill of Stokes, commissioner on the part of
North Carolina.
In calling the attention of the Legislature to this
subject, Gov. Bragg said: II am not informed
whether the whole boundary between the two States
east of the proposed starting point, is known and
undisputed."
1t seems Virginia so regarded it, or she would
have proposed starting at the sea-shore. But We
think the correctness of the lines east of the pro-
posed starting point is about questionable as it
is west, at least as far west as Peters Creek, and
that the better place would have been to have made
the seashore 1.-THE starting point"
But what shall govern the commissioners in rum
ming the lines In the Bill of Rights our northern
boundary is described beginning ION the seashore
in thirtysix degrees thirty minutes north latitude
and from thence runs west
The line run by Byrd and Gale in 172S COM
menced on north side of Currltuck Inlet at thirty
six degrees thirty-one minutes, north latitude.
Wheeler, in his sketches, says: 1.-The State OF
North Carolina is situated between 3S deg 53 min,
and 36 deg, SO min., north latitude and deg, %
min, east, and go deg, so mn., west Longitude" !"
which we believe precisely covers the territory
claimed by North-Carolna.
The Virginia commissioner, we understand, is Of
opinion that what is now considered the line is too
far North, and according to the boundary given in
the Bill Of Rights, we think he is correct.
Much difficulty has been found in endeavorng to
establish the dividing line between Virginia and
Tennessee. And we learn that it will be almost
impossible to do SO until it is clearly defined between
North Carolina and Virginia
Weare informed that Mr.. John Hill declines the ap-
pointmett as commissioner.

INTERESTING MEMENro OF TIE PAsr.-We were
shown the other day an interesting lsliet in the
shade Of fine old gold watch with tie history Of
which are connected some interesting incidents.
The history Of the time records the fpa that Capt.
William Rogers made the first trip across the At.
lantic by steam. He sailed from Savannah, We do
not recoect the year. for Liverpool and in due time
that harbor in Ship that moved along without
sails, caused good deal Of surprise and some little
alarm. 1t is said some armed barges were sent to
meet him. and to demand what manner Of man hs
was, or rather what of his vessel; his answer to
which was made by laundering pu1s Of steam
through the safety valve. which SO frightened those
on the Barges as to cause them to keep at respect
full distance. 10. - .
After his arrival, however, and when the success
of a steam voyage was realized there were great re-
jocings, and as manifestation of the estimation in
which the successful experiment was held, purse
was made up and an elegant gold watch purchased
and presented to Capt Rogers.
Some years afterwards, Capt Rogers navigated
the first Steam Boat up the Pee Dee to this place.
He not long afterwards died here or on the river,
and his effects were sold in this place, and among
other things the watch. 1t was bought BY James
Colt, ESQ.,, one of the most prominent merchants Of
this place. Some years after this Mr.. Colt died in
this place, leaving widow and one son an infant.
She returned North with her son and the watch,
but eventually settled near Baton Rogue, Louisiana
where she again married. The watch was Kept for
her son until he reached manhood, soon after which
he was drowned in the Mississippi. The watch is
now worn bythe second husband, who showed it to
us and gave the above brief history Of its event
full existence.
Capt Rogers some few years ago had son living
and if this chance to meet his eye he will learn
where he may find this interesting testimonial to
his fathers enterprise and perseverance.-Cheraso
