Mr. HOLDEN: hope you will continue to stir up
the foul and muddy waters Of that Pool and keep its
waters agitated that the noxious vapors and I'M
healthy influences which cmanate from it and extend
their banetul effects to the surrounding country,
may thus be weakened and neutrazed
As you have suitable Standard for sounding its
Depths Il expect it will prove to be quite shaliou)
and plenty of efficient laborers and the right kind of
nipple nents for the work. hope you will dig into
its sides and drain off its impure waters and dry it
up; and then the unsightly birds of prey and the
vcnomous reptiles and the croakers which disturb
the repoSc of honest by their hideous noise, ct
id genus, which have heretofore taken shelter
in its waters and Marshes will he put to flight and
will have to take shelter somewhere else.
And that ianis tatuus, that ack.with-a-lantern'
which frightcns children and weak-mnded people,
and leads astray those who follow it, and which is
generally produced by such places, will evaporate
and vanish into thin air.
After it shall have been dried up and its impuri-
ties purged off, and shall have been subjected to the
light and the forceful rays of the sum- in the course
Of time it may be in condition to yield useful crops
and bear good fruit provided it be subject to the
management Of the right kind of farmers.

BLOCK OF BUILDINGS RAISED AT 0NcE-The
following is an extract of letter from Chicago H.
linois: ..,..
Zone of the greatest wonders here just now is the
spectacle of 1S five-story stores and the immense
marble building known as the Marine Bank, CON-
prising one side of whole block, which are being
raised five feet into the air. by means of six thou
sand screws placed under them. The councils had
changed the grade of the street. which placed this
block three four feet below the level of the street.
and this immense block of solid buildings, all united
in solid masonary, have just been raised to the
grade. Imagine the block Of buildings on the square
where Browns Hotel is situated, in Washington,
being raised up bodily at one time, and you can
have some idea Of the feat which has just been per.
formed here. The estimated weight of all the build
ings is computed at So 900 tons, and the work has
been done SO smoothly and skfnlly that not pane
of glass has broken, or ceiling cracked. The pro-
cess Of raising is by screw three inches in dame
ter and of threeeights thread, 5000 of which were
placed under the buildings, with 600 men, each man
of whom would command about ten screws; signals
were kept up. and every man turned screw at the
same moment They raised the buildings fifteen
inches day. and in five days the job was compile
ted. Is it not wonderful feat?" rE-lsf

CoTroN AND ToBAcco.-Tobacco is invading US
from the North and cotton from the South, rather
our people are returning to the culture of these
staples 1t is estimated that there will probably be
one hundred thousand bales of COTTON grown this
year in h-Carolina. We think this estimate is
rather below than above the mark There will
probably be more. Cotton culture has developed
more rapidly in the East than in the West during
the last few years. Edgecombe has gone ahead of
Arson. Wayne Lenoir, Duplin, Sampson and
other estern counties rapidly following and will
probably surpass Mecklenburg, Cabarrus, Rich
mond, and the Yadkin and Catawba country gen.
orally.
On the other hand, tobacco and wheat are advanc-
ing very fast in the western counties We see by
the Salisbury Banner that Rowan is fast becoming
one Of the first tobacco growing counties in the
State, and Rowan is not alone among the counties
which, for years past have done little in this way
but have lately awakened to the advantages Of the
culture Of this staple. The high price of 1.-THE weed
has no doubt done much in the way of calling at.
tention to it. We learn that there is no class of
agricuturists in the country more prosperous than
the tobacco planters Of the counties on the Virginia
line, as Caswell, Granville, Person, Rockingham,
etc. !; in fact they are all getting rich Now the
finest tobacco sent to the Virginia markets comes
from this State, and We think the time is at hand
when the largest amount will be raised in North
Carolina. The census Of 1860 may not show this,
for the movement, both in cotton and tobacco can
hardly be said to have more than commenced The
census of 1870 will exhibit the results of its nature

Resolred, That the Chairman of this meeting ap-
point ten delegates to represent Panther Branch
District in the County Democratic Convention,

After the resolutions had been read, there was
some objection made to the latter clause Of the
ond resolutio, when Thos. q. Whitaker, in a short
but pertinent Speech indicated the proprety of the
whole resolution; and then urged the necessity Of
Democrats being faithful and true to the principles
laid down in their platform, and to meet the issue
made by the Opposition on ad ralorem taxation
boldly and unitedly he felt confident if they would
do co. that victory will be sure to perch on the DEM
ocratic banner in August next. Maj. n. G. Rand,

MORE RESISTANCE TO FEDERAL LAW.

Again has fanatical hostility to slavery broke forth
in resistance to the laws. Sanborn, witness sum-
moncd to appear before the Senate committee hav
ing stood out in contempt of federal process, was ar
rested by deputy of the Senate Sargeant-at-Arms,
il Concord Massachusetts,. lie resisted the process,
but was rescued from the officers by mob, and pro-
tected until writ of hdbeds corpus was obtained,
under which he was taken before the supreme judi
cial court of Massachusetts, and upon hearing lib
Grated.
We have nothing to say upon the decision of the
chief Justice that the Sergeant has no pow
er to appoint deputy. We have no disposition to
cav at the DEGREES Of the appointed tribunals. The
ruling will 60 to the Supreme Court of the United
States as the final arber and shall acquiescc in
whatever it may determine. But the country can
not but see that portion of the people of Massach
sets hold the judicial tribunals of their State
and the federal tribunals Of their State and the
federal government alike in contempt
Why had the witness concealed himself and refls-
ed to obey the summons of the Senatey Is there
anything oppressive in requiring a man to testify
what he may know upon a subject under investiga-
ton by any public authority! The witness was safe
from punishment He could not be required to i'm
plicate himself Did he deny the power of the Sem
ate in the premises? He should have done as Hyatt
has done-prescnt himself and refuse obedience to
the mandate that the question may be tested in the
courts. But the doctrine that the individual citi
zen is the final judge" of the obligations of the
law finds ready disciples amongst those upon whom
the laws bear hardly and they hasten to avail them
selves of its dishonest license If the witness, San
born, believes the summons illegal, it is no reason
why the people should resist it. Yet mob assem-
bles, interposes between the witness and the officer
and in effect defeats service of the process.
Add this outrage to the State enactments to multi
fy the effect of federal statutes remember the tech
meal obstacles nterposcd by the Governors of Ohio
and Iowa to the arrest and delivery of ugtves from
justice take into consideration the systematic
enlargement offered to the fugitive slaves by North
ern people, and how can it be SAID that there is q
spirit of obedience to the laws, regard for the OBJ
legations Of the Union, amongst the Abolition Re-
publcans?
Wewould warn the conservative men Of the North,
that it is dangerous to entrust to party reckless
of legal restraint, the administration of the govern
ment. They are themselves setting an example Of
disobcdience which may be followed by the South,
whenever the laws and process of the government
may be administered by the Republicans and thus
civil war may terminate the history of the once
glorious confederacy.

Not the Convention. l have heard number OF

There is ample time Their action will, beyond

Of the committee, whose authority to act IS, to say
the least, rery doubtful This is most important
matter to the party. Let every man speak out
boldly against such an innovation. As well might
the State Executive Committee" claim the right
to nominate candidate for Governor, had the can
didate nominated by the Convention declined. 1t
was attempted once in this State and met with most
signal rebuke. Let us take the safe course-one
which no Democrat can complain of-and which

tor to the members Of the Conrentisn, and to no one
else, and for any subordinate authority to exercise
this right unless it has been clearly and unequivo,
cally delegated to them by the Convention, would
be usurpation, and should meet with the prompt
reputation and dsapproval of the party through
out the District. The members Of the Contention
