Wilmington, Newbern, and Morehead City, offer
fine fields for ihe profitable employment of mercan-
tile capital al-Raleigh Register.
Doctors will differ, friend Syme. You say that
the mercantile community is not to be taxed for its
business while opposition organ says it is. The
discrepancy is doubtless occasioned by the differences
of meaning in your latin platform.
This would be the way III which you would work
the people fools enough to for your latin
and forget your anglo deeds. After you had
carried your end-wh ch, God forbid you should
for the honor ofthe Old North State-you would tell
them that they misunderstood your latin phrase
and that it meant something entirely different.

What is the old Keystone coming to? 1t seems
that they find oil all ready for use, Coal, Iron mar
ble and Lead. This not satisfying their ambition,
they have dug down in the earth until they have
founa bed Of gold or that which seems like it.
The oil fever in Beaver county is still on the
increase, and people going wild about the new
speculation. A gentleman from Harmony, informs
the New Brighton Times that on Yellow Creek,
near Harmony, every spot where oil supposed
to exist has been bought up; he says company
on Slippery Rock making about two barrels per
day, and that in boring they went through ten
inch vein of lead, and something also which some
supposed to be gold; of which has been sent
to Philadelphia for examination.

Cure FOR HYDRoPHoBIA.-Somet time ago state
ment appeared in all the journals that ten persons
had been bitten by mad dog at Author Cure ct
Loire) The Journal Of Chartres announces
the death of the fourth victm little girl who had
appeared quite well till three four days back,
when the dreadful maady appeared and carried her
off in a few hours. The six other persons bitten,
seem to be out of all danger. The same paper then
proceeds to say Forty years ago three persons OF
that village were bitten by mad dog Two Of
them applied to man who was said to possess an
nfallible cure for hydrophobia. handed down from
father to son for several generations They both got
WE'LL while the third, who applied to regular prac.
titioner died few days after. This fact was
universally known in the country round, and when
the last sad affair occurred six of the persons bitten
applied to the son Of the empirc who now possesses
his fathers secret the other four being treated by
professional men, The result is that the six sur vi
vors are those who had to the secret remedy,
while the four who died treated by the faculty.
We carnot explain these facts but we can guarantee
their authenticity:

FAYETTEVILLE, N. G.
EDWARD GRAHAM HAYWOOD.

/ We have seldom listened to a better more
logical and highly argumentatve address than that
delivered by this gentleman Oh the evening of the
22d inst, in the Fayetteville Hall. He gave the
whole history of the compromise of our present
Constitution which is attempted to be DESTROYED
by the opposition-showing conclusively that its
destruction would bring upon both East and West,
consequences of the most hunliliating nature; not
only would it injure both far as the pecuniary
weight and power in Legislature is concerned, but it
would also stir up the btterest hatred between both
sections of State which age would not alleviate
and could never be entirely removed He proved
conclusively that slave property
aud credit Of tts statss asI RON Tt the
CO. protection which it required would
be to seriously impare our States growth and pros
perty; besides to mpoversh landholders, by throw
ing land into the market almost worthless,
and thereby reducing the value Of real estate.
We confident that few ad valorena
men, who belong to the Opposition, satisfied that
Mr. Haywood knocked ad valOren ''into cooked hat"
We heard of a few, who said. th they in a
doubtful position before, but the address Of Mr. Hay
wood satisfied and confirmed them in complete antag
onisr1 to the whole thing.
We look forward with interest to next summer,
when Mr.. Haywood will again be heard by citi-
MS, and confident he not come too soon or
400 often.
Cold WEArHER.-The reason of the cold weather
for the past few days is owing to the flct that Reu
ben Jones has filled the ice house with the best
quality of Northern ice. We expect to keep ''cold
as corpse this summer, by the influence of Reu>
bens ice.

PREMATURE FUNERAL-THE COFFIN is SMASHED
AND CORPSE COMES TO LIFE.-A singular affair
occurred yesterday at the negro settlement known
as Hog Neck, the Rocky River Plank Road
some six miles from this city. An old negro named
Jacob Sanders and who was familiarly known as
Old Jakey died (apparently) late on Sunday night
and yesterday afternoon his body put in rough
pine coffin, which was placed in wagon and the
procession-an unusually large one-moved towards
the grave. While the way the horse attached
to the wagon containing the coffin took fright and
broke into mad run, upsetting the wagon and
throwing the coffin out. 1t rolled down small hill,
being badled smashed on its way. The mourners
rushed to the spot and were vastly amazed to see
Old Jakey rising from among the ruins of his
coffin and starting stupedy around. His inky black
face snow white wool and white shroud formed a
startling picture turning the ofthe color
ed mourners into fright and they all took wildly to
their heels Those who have seen Mr. 7. D. Rice,
as the Virginia Mummy, can form faint idea of the
serio- comic tableau.
AS soon as Old Jakey recovered his scattered
senses, he lay down upon the ground and yelled
Justify for the mourners to come back. They came
at length cautiously-one by one-and the old
fellow was carried home. He was very well this
morning and don't intend to die for some time yet
He had been ailing for several days and on Sunday
night he apparently stopped breathing, his limbs
became stiff and his body cold. His under jaw fell
and his eyes sank far into his head. He lay so all
night and through the day; up to the time, IN fact,
when the wagon upset. and his friends had good rea-
son to suppose him dead man. The shock of the
upset evidently resuscitated him. and had it not
cured poor Old Jakey would doubtless be
under the sod. He is nearly seventy years old and
formerly slave in Tennessee.-Cl -Clesela,td

extract of a letter from the Hon. James NJ. Bochan-

gentleman of that city:
ssNow is the time for young man to distinguish
himself in our beloved Republic. Let him fix his
gaze steadily on the Banner of the Unon,' and
& sht on fight ever, in its glorious defence. For
myself may now be considered as descending into
the vale of years but here, declare to you that
whatever may be left to of yigor Of intellect
I am prepared at moments call to embark the
whole in the great struggle which IS now at hand
and upon the issue of which depends the fate OF
our institutions and our homes. The Constitution
must yreseroeai its entirety and he who attempts
to violate its sacred precepts, any of them,
is enemy to his country, and (as he has soora to
observe t) reyiler of his God Ii my country
requires my services in this crisis, am ready to
surrender power and place at word ana enlist for
the whole war;

THE STATE OF New York NOT YET GIVEN Ur.
-" IoS," the Washington correspondent of
the Baltimore Sun, under date of the 18th
instant, writes:
"New York is not yet surrendered to Lin
coin. There is to be contest, at any rate,
and a very close one. The business men of
the city, governed by the interests of trade,
as well as Of patriotism, have determined to
make a great effort for the defeat of Lincoln
They are to supply the sinews of war, with
out stint, for that purpose. 1t is resolved, as
! learn, to raise n fund of a million of dollars
to secure the election of the Cooper Institute
electoral ticket, the only conservative electo-
raj ticket now in the field. The subscription to
this fund was commenced on Saturday, and a
considerable portion of it was raised at once,
and without calling upon many of the ner-
chants.
II is also quite in the power of the anti
Lincoln party in New York to secure fifteen
anti-LincOln representatives in Congress. In
fifteen districts there are anti-republcan ma
jorites, as was shown last fall, and they can
only he lost by running in each two or more
anti-republican candidates, while the repub-
lcans have but one. If New York cannot
beat Lincoln, it is quite certain that she can
render his victory barren ofany fruits.
