The Old North State.

The Southern Citizen, published at Washington, D.
c., thus refers to the Old North State
North Carolina is one of the most respectable and
altogether admirable States in this Onion. She alone
believe, is out of debt* She has abundance of fer
tile lands nexhaustibe mines and the most magnificent
mountan country this side of the Sierra Madre But
North Carolina is rather distinguished also as conser-
vative awabiding State and this attribute to her
sharp and stern system of Criminal law.
The administration of justice is much less mild than
in many of her sister States. Having State prs-
on the old punishment of the English common law are
still inflicted such as branding, whipping cropping the
ears &C. writer, after describing the recent opening
of the court in of the counties in that State says
Every Jail in North Carolina is provided with whip
ping post stocks and piory. Murder rape arson bur
gery and all the higher crimes and misdemeanors are
punished with death manslaughter by branding the
letter in the right hand The convicts hand is bound
to the bar, and the brandingron held upon the palm
until he can say God save the State " three times
Theft and minor offences by whipping, standing in the
pillory Or sitting in the stocks.
We sincerely congratulate North Carolina on having
so much CT the oden horror of crme and kept alive
wholesome system to which other States and countries
will shortly have to return.
What noble State might North Carolina become
if she had about million additional negroes to begin
with.

POWER OF THE FRENCH GUNs.-In the late battle of
Monticello, the French guns threw their bullets
more than tago English miles, The effect was so terrific
upon the Austrian ranks that the centre was obliged to
fall back upon the reserve It would seem that the
Austrian guns do not equal those of France and that
