Or OF Wooo.-one of our printers who has been
so unfortunate to have had his wood stolen, gets
off the following. He is probably better nsoraist
than poet:
The night was dark in the neighborhood,
And the lazy folks We're out of wood,
And had no means to buy it;
So they harnessed on TO my wood pile
And took bout half to try it.
The wood green--iust from the woods,
Brought mp by Mr.. Burnett,
And the only way to make it burn
Was to lay it out and it.
Well, laid some out one night
And thought next day wouId sun It,
But some of my kind neighbors thought
They'd take it home and burn it.
They took it home, there is doubt,
And put it on the fire,
But if it burned to suit them much,
Why, then, am a l-r.
Moral
To steal wood that will burn never go to printer
wood pile, for he is always among deoiks, and
he will be pretty apt to chase you consider
ably and make you stick to the right rule SO quit
stealing the printers wood, and yourself from
being locked up having proceed you, and getting
your back illustrated peith cuts.

FRENCH IDEAS ABOUT AMERICAN AFFAIRS
John Mitchell, in the latest of his interesting
letters to the Irish News, writes " wish to sig
nalize the fact, that opinion i'll France. even
more than in England, on the subject of Ameri-
affairs, entirely inspired, moulded, guided.
by your northern phanhropists. Nothing
startled and astonished one of our Paris edit
ors as TO hear from me (after long and harmonious
talk upon other subjects,) that l was dcvotee Of
slavery, nay, apostle of tho African slave
some of the platitudes current among phiianthrop-
lists thinking there was a mistake-that | could
not. a liberal person like me, surely mean alto
gether what 1 said. And then made him such
speech fit to make both the ears of him that
heareth it to tingle."

ANOTHER ONE OF THEM.-The " "irrepressi-

The Atlanta Inteligencer says that fellow giving

committee of citizens resolved to wait upon him
and cypress their Uieus the slavery question,

A worthy citizen of this country, residing in

Carriages, sufficiently handsome for any use.
are now being manufactured in Richmond, and
if the South will but sustain the manufacturers as
they deserve, the day is not distant when pleasure
vehicles of every kind may be had of good
quality and on as good terms they are now
furnished by those Northern markers who now
exhibit such an aversion to the interests and
rights of the South Exchange papar.
The same will apply to Wilmington, Faye.te-
VILE kinston, Clinton, Aewbern, Salisbury
Greensboro. Charlotte and other towns in North
Carolina. Not only do coach-1nakers turn
out good and substantial vehicles, but they all
produce work that is not inferior in appearance
to anything from the North. We are pleased to
know that the business is fairly supported
though not we'll as it ought to be We fear
that there is still too great preference given to
Northern work, too many Northern bnggies sold
here; more here perhaps than at most other
points in the State, account of the greater fi-
cilities for getting them on.
We have seen buggies and other riding vehi-
cles, made by McKethan, of Fayetteville, B. Il.
Hood, of Clinton, Dibbes, of kinston, or Messrs
Clark 4 Felt; of Wilmington, that would bear
advantageous comparison with anything coming
from the North, and we believe selling fair
terms and at as reasonable prices-HH Journal
The may be said of dozen other towns
in the State. Mr.. j. L. Berry, carriage, coach
and buggy manufacturer, of Newbern, puts up
good work at reasonable rates We can see 10
cause why any one in North Carolina should send
to the North for manufactured articles in that line
STILL THEY CoME.-Our interchangeable friend
at Salisbury will accept 5!ir thanks for four
new subscribers accompanied by the cash,
ceived on Saturday evening. And we desire here
to add that if be makes the visit spoken of in his
letter to us shall feel offended If he does not
make our house his home while soourning in the
g. city of Ems." Well take no excuse and YOU
need fear no intrusion Billy; for occupy larger
shanty than the one you did lis the honor to grace
by your presence when here last.

THE OLD LADY AND " HER INTEREST.'-A
venerable woman, who is the of three
shares in of the banks of this city has SO long
received semi-annua divident of five per cent:
that she was of the opinion the she entitled
to fifteen dollars every six months, and was al
ways prompt to visit the institution for what she
called % her interest" The last divident was on
ly four per cent, and when the lady called she
was paid twelve dollars After sig ming the divi-
dent book, she counted the bills, and told the
clerk that he had made mistake, as her inter
est was fifteen dollars every six months, and
she had been paid that long she could
remember. Explanations were in vain; the old
stakeholder insisted that " her interest" {" was
thirty dollars year, she knew nothing and cared
nothing about " dividends and all that ''-she
wanted " her interest," The busy clerks were
too much engaged to listen to the remonstrances
of the owner of the three shares, and she called
for the President, who, she averred, knew all
about her rights. Upon being told that the per-
son she named was no longer at the head of the
institution, she REPLIED that accounts for it all
the new set don't know how much my interest is
will go and see.-.' She called upon our es
teemed and liberal fellow citizen at his house, and
stated her case in most earnest tones. The three
dollars short was paid from private funds and the
old woman went home more than ever convinced
she was right about the sum due her, and satisfied
that the 6 set ~ in State street might be as
good as those whose places they occupied, but
they could not cheat an old lady out of g her in
terest ~ so long as Mr.-lived to see justice
done.-BOston Transcrip pit.

WHAT THE WEST CAN MANUFACTURE.-One
great source of power in country is its manutac-
turing interests, and country which can be at
the same time large manufacturing and produ-
cling country is proof against all financial crisis,
and ilust become powerful and prosperous Such
is the case with Western North Carolina. Pro
ducing within her mountain borders almost every
necessary of life, but cotton, rice and coffee, she
has too, water power sufficient to drive the ma
chinery of a world. With such facilities then,
what can be here manufactured with profit
First, the largest quantities of saltpetre which
lists in various places. together with the immense
bodies of fine wood for charcoal, clearly indicate
that the manufacture of powder would be here as
it is sewhere, very profitable and perhaps more
profitable here than elsew here
Again manufactures of woolen goods. Here
the wool can be raised, and will be if there is a
demand for it. We know that at least one man.
ufactory Of this kind is carried on proftaby in
this State, though its proprietor brings some of the
wool he consumes from Europe
Further. the manufacture of linseed Oil. This
business is carried on In small way-there
being mannfactory in this county owned by
Mr.. Coleman. There is still room for many more.
This section is peculiarly adapted to the growth
of flax, and We're there a demand large quantities
would be raised
Then, too, would come in the manufacture of
daxen goods.
These manufactures can be carried now,
and there is no contingency AS to railroad to be
put in. There other articles; when we shall
be blessed with the means of egress to the world,
that will demand the attention OF. our people,
The manufacture Of iron and iron utensils must
then be carried on. The Cranberry iron is said
to be the best in the United States tke world
can easily infer what excellent nails and tools
it wonld make,
And when we have railroad cotton factories, !
paper mills and various other works be put
up and carried on proftably. One thing is GER
tain, that if we to be Independent of the North,
the South must manufacture for itself; and when
that is to be done, western North Carolina will
present many attractions to the eye of the |
builder any other section of the country the
earth.-1shrWc Adrocate.
