NoRrn-CARoLINA CRED1r.-The National Intelli-
gencer of recent date says: 1--WE have frequent
occasion to note the answering fidelity of the State
of h-Carolna to every obligation, public and
social. The high prices that her State bonds have
always commanded in the money market, amidst
every pressure and panic, has been the subject of
observation abroad and source of pride to every
friend of the State. The fidelity and zeal of her
officials, especially her Treasurer, is worthy Of all
ptaise."

MIR. Clinsman,s speech.

The Goldsborough Tribune refers to the admirable
manner in which Mr.. Clingman acquitted himself in
his speech and adds
He avows in this speech the universal senti-
meut of the South that if black Republican is elcc
ted President it will be the duty of the South to pro-
tect itself but that people disposed to make
every effort to prevent such result that they can,
consistent with honor"
The Democrats of Catawba at their recent meet
ing, among other things resolved, @ -
"That though we have borne much and long, it
is the determination of the South never TO submit
to the administration of black Republican Prcsi-
dent and that We consider his election as sufficient
cause for dissolution" a- a7
That able paper, the Washington States, says:
"This emnently able production of Mr.. Clingman.
which reflects credit not only upon its highly gifted
author but also the ever upright and wcll-intenton-
ed State which honors him with seat in the Sen
ate, will be published in our next weekly edition.
We know not how we can better serve the cause of
the Democratic party than by scattering broadcast
throughout the Union for their careful perusal.

found sensation among the grave and reverend

Carolina Senator uttered last Monday. II the Abo
litoniSts would but read them with the deliberate
attention which they justly merit in the interests
of great republic, they could scarcely fail to cease
their Misunderstanding agitation, and thus give re-
pcse forever to that division of the country which
they aim at ruinous!y subugat:ng.
We shall print many thousand extra copies of our
weekly containing his speech. We regard 1t as one
Of the best campaign papers that could have been
prepared for general distribution; and we call upon
oar Democratic brethren, well North South, to
spare no pains to give it wide and useful circula
ton. We scarcely need add that the opinions and
views which it expresses upon the great living issue
of the day, harmonic most cordially with the
which this journal has most steadiasty observed"

REpPArH, THE ABoLlrloNlsr.-We see it stated
that the infamous Redpath, Of Kansas and Tribune
notoriety, has been summoned to appear before the
Committee raised by the Senate to investigate the
Harpers Ferry affair, and that he has written an
impudent letter declining to attend. We hope the
Committee will bring him dead or alive" A worse
man than Redpath does not taint the American at
mosphere with his breath. We learn that his
"Lite Of John Brown" has just been published. 1t
is said to be tissue of lies from first to last He
has also published another book learn, which is
grossly incendiary in its character. Reference is
made in it to this State and one of our towns is
spoken of as favorable point for insubordination,
&c. If Redpath comes or can be got to Washing
ton, it would be good plan to bring him thence to
some poirt in Virginia or this State, and hang him
by the neck until he is dead. @

The Great Plains of America.

Mr.. VIM. Gilpin, in a recent book on Cen
trail Gold region, advances and maintains the
idea that the great Western plains, where he
has spent twenty years, instead Of being a
desert, as is the common impression, are the
opposite, forming the pastoral garden of the
world, and the basis Of the future empire of
commerce and industry Of this continent,
They occupy a longitudinal parallelogram OF
less than 1000 miles wide, extending from
the Texan to the Artic coast and from the
Rocky mountains to the Western border Of
Louisiana, Arkansas, Missouri and Iowa, ali
area equal to the surface of the twenty-four
states between the Mississippi and the Allan
tic, without single abrupt mountain, timber
ed space, desert, or lake. There is no tim
Der on this area, and single trees are scarce.
The soil is not silcious or sandy, but fine
calcarious mould. The country is thickly
clad with grasses, edible snd nutricious,
through the year, and swarms with animal
life. The climate is comparatively rainlcss;
the rivers, which abound, and which all run
from west to cast, serving like the Nile, to ir-
rgate rather than drain the neighboring sur
face From their dimensions and position
the author thinks they are to be the pasture
fields Of the oorM, and that upon them pas
toral agriculture will become separate de-
par ment of natural industry. On this belt
of perennial pasture are found the infinite
herds of cattle peculiar to North America,
whose aggregate number it is estimated, to
exceed one hundred millions, the buffalo alone
being as numerous as the American people.
The plains embrace an ample proportion Of
arabic land, which may be easily and cheaply
watercd by the various systems ofirrigation,
and cheaply watercd soil being .alluvial and
calcarious, returns a prodigious yield. They
abound in fuel, and materials for dwellings.
The climate is favorable to health, longevity,
intellect and physical developement. ,s

Thoughts at the Indian Pass.

The following is beautiful extract from
the new book of ALFRED b. STREEr-"W oods
and Waters" just issued from the press:
sat beside our tent and listened to the
wind. A desolate vail thrilled through the
wood, that plunged me into the deepest sad
ness. But once only, and that since, have
my thoughts been 50 sorrowful, Then was
under the grand battlcments Of the Indian
Pass. Weary with wandering through the
woods, halted little distance from the Pass
in the dim twilight Of a cloudy day to bivouac
for the night. AT my side whispered the
ripplcs OF a little stream, and to accompany
my frugal meal, furnished me draught
from its cold goblet of crystal. Before me
lowered that stupendous wall, the north bar
ricr of the Pass, second only in sublimity to
that natural wonder Of our State, Niagara
Then also wailing wind went through the
forest. Night came apacc. AsI gazed upon
the rock soaring and looming in the darkness,
the wind seemed to say, Poor hccting NOR
tai what art thou TO this work Of untold ages
Does it not rebuke thee with its grandeur,
and crush thee with the frowning of its
strengths And if mere rock, q grain brush
cd from the Almighty's hand, thus awes thee
into nothing, how darest thou claim immor-
tai life, the lofticst attribute of that Al
mighty?" And more bitter mockery
seemed to deepen in the mind. 5gG r
. Thou pratest of soul /? Thou 10 arrogate
what is denied this stately pile thou, per-
ishing as the flower it nourishes in its clcfts |!
Away with thy presumptuous folly! Know
this and tremble--to thee and thy wretched
race, the end cometh with the gravel
shuddercd to the core Of my heart. I felt
utterly abandoned and desolate. The after
life that sfYudAuaaaluaaRsn the dark trouble
of this, was it indeed fantasy p Ah
While / thus unused, q cloud oycrshadow-
ed the rock, and blotted it from my sight
But above me beamed q stark through .
rift in the cloudy mantle. A mere point it
was, and SO pure, SO brilliant, my nature rose
expanding as gazcd. The, wind no longer
spoke, music instead seemed lengthening
from the star. y tafi 81 ss8 ~ iii'a
/" Fear mot, and be not sorrowful," my
heart thus interrupted the cadence; !" thon
dearest light within that shall shine when
I counting my life by centuries, have forev.
er vanished. Though perishing a. the How.
Ter, thou art eternal as God. Let the cousci.
business Of this sublime truth fesl evef upon
thee, and may it prove Thy felicity and not
thy curse - 81 5t'
5a The earth was my bed that night with
the swinging pine for canopy; aud through
the forest tore and raved the chilly wind, but
= happy glow was at my heart and my slunj
And olten now, the memosy of that inight
rises soft and clear, and the shadows ttnt
oppEess me fee away. sfY sf Il
