A CURIOUS CALcULATIoN.-The
N. o. Commercial Bulletin gets out
Of the ordinary line of statistical in.
formation to furnish the following:
What a curious creature a man
would be were his voice in proportion
to his weight, as that of a locust,
which can be heard the distance of
one sixteenth of a mile. The golden
wren is said to weigh but half an
ounce, so that middhng sized man
would weigh down not short of 1000
OF them and it must be strange il a
golden wren would not outweigh four
of our locusts. Surprising, therefore,
common mau weighed as much as
10000 locusts, and that the note'of a

mile, a man of common dimensions,
pretty sound in wind aud limbs ought
to be able to make himself heard the

tbs CAUSE OF a bArE DINNER
At STEPHENS HOUSE, YESTERDAY
Philosophers are about half right
when they say, there can be no ef
feet without a cause. The cause of
the effect Of the late dinner at Steph-
eus yesterday, came about in this
wise. About half past two o'clock
Steve went into the kitchen to see
the cause of the delay. There he
met Monsieur Francois, who had a
large meat knife in bis hand -
Steve said something sharply 10 the
musical language of Italy, aud Mon
sieur Francois, said something in the
same temper and tongue back at him,
and made pass at Stephen that
but for the timely interference OF
Monsieur Lamis, had caused our
friepd'sJ head to part company with
it's body forever, The matter did not
end until Steve received two or tire,
ugly but not dangerous cuts about
the head, and Mr.. Lamis, lost q
thumb.

But one pa$y-the Democratic
party-remains to fight the battle
for the Constitution and the Union,
M our forofathcrs framed it. That
party, however, notwithstanding its
services to the country, the great
men it has produced, it's claims to
general support, its magnificent
past and it's splendid promise for
the future, is in minority in the
majority section of the COnfederacy.
Its banner has been bravcly defend

it to death.
What wing of the transcendent-
ally great Democratic party the

ernor is in favor Of making MS all

vor of convention OF Southern

of the late Great Southern Conven-

the message with the following IN

paragraph:
It has been said, in view Of the en-
Uttered hostility Of the North to us
and the institution of slavery, shat re-
taliatory measures should be adopted

reason and truth, and il Southern
Legislatures can retaliate, without a

The North, its population considered,
is a dependent section Of the country;
II exports comparatively nothing Of
its own products, and imports nearly
every thing. 1t trades on other peo-
pies capital. 1t lives by the use Of the
products Of the South ; without the
patronage Of the South. we'll nigh
universal bankruptcy would ensue.--
The South, importing hardly any
thing, exports, in facts, three-fourths of
the products of the country, which
pay the debts of the country. If the
cotton crop Of the South were to fail,
for a single year, there would not be
a solven, obank capitalist, manufactn.
rer or ship owner in the entire North.
No business man will controvert this
proposition.

"a statement of the condition Of the
State Treasury of which the Gov
ernor says
The condition of the State Treas
ury, according to the Report of the
| Auditor, shows balance, ono the
lst of January, 1860, Of 1888, 696
90, to the credit Of the General
Fund.
The receipts into the State Scas-
ure for the ensuing year fAr &C.
count of the General Fund, az cs-
timatcd at $i,205, 900. Making a
sum total of 81 ,33S, SOC 90.
The estimated expenditures for
the period, including the upexpeud-
cd balances, amount to 81, ia ,553

hibiting far more prosperous con
ditlon of the finances of the State
than has been presented for eight
years.
II will, therefore, be seen that,
without increasing the rate Of tax
alton, the annually increasing re-
venues of the State will enable
her to meet promptly all the wants
of Government.
Following this is statement of
investments Trust Funds of the
Treasury, and an estimate Of the
number and amount of Bonds that
will be called for by the different
railroads in the State during the
coming year. The estimated mum
hcr is 293, amounting to s293, 81.
The total amount of Bonds out
standings set down at 81 ,799, 900.
The attention Of the Legislature is
called to the fact that no provision
has been made for the ultimate re-
demption of these Bonds. The Gov.
ernor renews the recommendation
of his last message ; that the Le-
| gisiature take the necessary steps
to provide for these debts Of the
State, by the creation of ReSerr-
cd Fund, to be appropriated 60 that
purpose, and would suggest that
this fund might be provided with
out the necessity of a resort to any
Increase of taxation. The Inter
nal Improvement Tax Fund, which
was created for the purpose Of
meeting the interest ON the bonds
issued to the railroad companies,
and fixed at one-fourth of one mill
bon the dollar, or 25 cents on 81, :
