POVERTY NOT so GREAT A CURSE.

If there is anything in the world that young
| man should be more thankful for than another, it
is the poverty which necesstates his starting in
life under very great disadvantages. Poverty is
of the best tests of human quality in existence
triumph over it is like graduating with honor
from West Point. 1t demonstrates stuff and
stamina. 1t is certificate of worthy labor credit
ably performed young man who cannot stand
the test is not worth anything. He can never
rise above the drudge or pauper. young man
who cannot feel his will harden as the yoke Of
poverty presses upon him. and his pluck rise with
every difficulty poverty throws in his way, may as
we'll retire into some corner aud hide himself
Poverty saves thousand times more men than it
ruins; for it only ruins those who not particu
larly worth saving, while it saves multitudes Of
those whom wealth would have ruined. II any
young man who reads this is so unfortunate as to
be rich, give him my pity. pity you, my rich
young friend, because you are in danger. You
lack one stimulous to effort and excellence, which
your poor companion possesses. You will be very
apt, if you have soft spot 10 your head to think
yourself above him, and that sort of thing makes
you mean, and Injuries you. With full pockets
aud full stomach, and fine linen, and broadcloth
on your back your heart and soul plethoric, in the
of hfe you will find yourself surpassed by all
the poorer boys around you before you know it.
No, my boy, If you are poor thank God and take
courage; for he intends TO give you chance TO
make something of yourself If you had plenty
money, ten chances to one it would spoil you for
useful purposes Do you lack education? Have
you been cut short in the text book? Remember
that education, ike some other things, does not
consist in the multitude of things a possesses.
What can you do? That is the question that set
ties the business for yo1. Do you know your busi-
ness? Do you know men and how TO deal with
them? Has your mind, by any means whatever,
received that discipline which gives to it its action,
power and facility: If so, then you are educated.

TENNESSEE CERTAIN FOR BREcKINRIDGE.-A
gentleman Of this city, says the Montgomery Ad-
vertser, wrote to reliable and well Informed citi.
zen of Tennessee for such facts would be reliable
to bet in relation to the vote of that State, and
has received in return the following statement,
which we take from private letter, dated Colum-
bia, Tennessee, September 10, 1860:
GAS to this State, Hon w. Ii. Whitthorne has
just returned this evening from canvass of the
entire Eastern Division of the State; my father
turned yesterday from similar canvass, in compa-
ny with Gov. Harris, of the Western Division of
the State, and have been to every county but
five in this, the Middle Division. We have COM
pared notes, and the unanimous and confident
opinion is that Breckenridge and Lane are bound
to carry this State by 5000. Here We take all
the bets We get on this State-but We have
not been able to invest much. Six of the Doug
las District Electors have declined to serve, and
by the election my opinion is there will be but two
tickets in the State. The circulation of Bells
record, of which 1 send you copy, is telling ter
ribly upon the Bell cause in this division Of the
State. .... --s,..-. F.. .-.., ..-,-

IMPORTANT FOR "JoLLY FELLOWS There
is a tradition that brandy was at one time manu-
factured from the vine; but the grapes of France
having of late years followed the example of the
potato, aud taken to moulding and rottiCg many
of the French brandy makers have adoped bitumin-
Gus coal as a substitute.
They distil a potent spirit from this sub
stance, which is thus made available for the pro-
duction of two kinds of ire--oBe for the comfort
of man, and the other for the destruction Of his
health, his senses, and his soul Large quantities
of alcohol distilled from coal, and "doctored with
certain chemicals to give it the "Cognac favor"
are now exported from France to England Coal
brandy is the latest adoption of the good gifts Of
Providence to the purpose of poisoumongers that
has come to our knowledge. Coal tar has long
been used for tie 6avorine Of whiskey, but Ii
quor with coal basis is specimen OF chemistry
which might well make the "best fellow" shudder

STICK PIN IN HERE.-At Mocksville, ycster-
terday (!Monday)s week, Messrs Brown of Char
lotte, and Walser of Davidson had political dis
cusson. We have not heard the particulars. On
that occasion, Peter Hairston, Esq, of Davie took
occasion to allude to a report sent up from Sails
bury on the eve of the last election to injure the
election of Chas. f. Fisher, Esq and to the effect
that he, Harston, had sent check of 500 to
Salisbury for the purpose of effectipg Mr. Fishers
election, and had given credit for $1,000 more.
This Mr. Hairston denounced as wholly false and
the originators- and cireulators slanderers and
liars These denunciations- were made in the
Court House and to the crowd assembled to hear
the speaking. - -
This infamous falsehood was but one of num-
ber circulated to the prejudice of Mr. Fisher in the
late campaign. But the day of reckoning viii
surely come, and then the deceived people will
visit their wrath upon the sanderers- Salisbury

AN IMPORTANT COMMERCIAL QUEsTIoN.-A
question which will affect to serious extent, the
interests of commerce, recently was brought before
the United States Circuit Court in the city of New
York.
An act of Congress provides that all home manu-
factured articles which are returned again in their
original state, shall be free from duty. Under
this act millions of barrels and hogsheads have
been exported to return again, filed with sugar or
nIolasses. The Government, in the suit in question
claim to recover duties upon large quantity of
barrels sent to Cuta and returned with sugar The
Government claim that these barrels are not return
ed in the original state because part and parcel of
the package of the molasses or sugar, Or whatever
the contents may be. The question being of
great interest, both to the Government and CON-
mcrcal community, the Federal Judges here
have certified to division of opinion, which thus
brings the matter to the Supreme Court of the
United States for adjudication. 1t is estimated
that the result will affect the to the extent
Of between three aud four million of dollars
ally.

instances the Bank Of the Ohio Valley, which.

ing 10 his own statement, a money making IN
stitution, notwithstanding 1t confines itself TO
deposit, discount and exchange. He might
have instsDoed all the numerous private bankers
throughout the country, who have never, in
any way. meddled with banks Of issue, and
who, from deposit, discount and exchange alone
are in a fourlshipg condition, and he might
have mentioned also that most Of those private
bankers, who exceeded the legitimate limits Of
their trade--for banking is a trade just as much
as any other,--and went OF 10 experim snling
upon banks Of issue, have generally ard sadly
suffered from their folly.
Hence, l believe it entirely unnecessary, nay,

the present laws against banking. They
ought to made still more stringent, so as. in

Very Important TO the City and
Citizens of Dayton.
A New Invention to Raise Water by
Current Power for City Purposes,
Without any Hard Labor or Expense
to the City.

A FULL CISTERNS ARE HIGHLY
"A necessary TO the City in time of fire, to have
good supply of water always ready in such an
emergency the street cisterns require considerable
hand labor and expense to keep them full, aud
steam would be a continual and heavy expense to
the city, TO ill the oisternsj for fuel and labor and
attendance to the machinery, are needless expen-
ses This Automatop River Power, after II is put
up is no expense to the city any more; needs 10
attendance any more at all to fill all the cisterns in
the city. This plan is new and approved OF by the
Patent ONCE; This plan of current power is admi-
raby well adapted to the city of bay ton to aise
water from the river, being SO near to work the
water up into the street caternH without any hand
labor or expense. This automaton river power is
very powerful, plain and simple in its
lite motion lie never retarded by high water ice OF
drift wood and as long as the river can afford a
channel feet deep in dry seasons, this machine
will do its duty.
This machine consists of horizontal double
pump and three pins, which give six mo.ions TO the
double pump to one revolution of the wheel-the
pump being capable OF throwing up gallons to ev-
cry notion. This machine is durable and not easy
to get out OF order. II has no crank nor gearing
II cannot freeze fast; the pump is under the water
at the bottom Of the water.
This plan am willing to lay before the City and
City Council, Engineers and Mechanics, to tisfy
every man will lay IL before the city the same as
1t is laid up In the city Of Washington the model
and drawing and patent
By calculation IL is capable of throwing up a.
gallons in one hour, 40 feet high, through inch
pipe. This am willing to lay before the City
Council and Engineers any time thAtsthey appoint
day, and will explain the matter TO them.
