DEAD.-Mr. Leonidas B. Lemay, son of Rev. T.

Chapel Hill, Texas of cholera Morbus, on the 18th
of December.
Poor Leonidas We knew him we'll and loved
him. His heart was full of noble and generous i'm
pulse! When we were boy of 10 years only we
entered the Office of the father of deceased Rev. T.
D. Lemay, the proprietor of the Raleigh STAR as an
apprentice. Leonidas, but a year or two our jun
ior, was our fellow aborer and intimate associate
Our MONDAY sports and our midnight labors were
shared together. At the age of 10 or IL he COM
menced the publication, in his fathers office, of the
Aicrocosna, small weekly Sheet the labor of which
enterprise editorial and mechanical, was performed
principally by himself He continued the publica-
tion which was quite successful, for several years.
As boy he had an extraordinary mind, and energy
and industry, which made him justly the pride Of
his family. When he grew to manhood he was as
ISOLATED with his father in the editorial management
of the Star for several years. Before either of us
arrived at mans estate we separated and we have
seen but little of him since. A few years ago he
went to Texas, where he died, and WHERE we learn
ed short time ago. he was doing we'll. But alas
while yet in the spring time of life the Great Reap
er has claimed him for his own! We truly smypa-

A. Gilmer, the funny representative from the 9th
Congressional District in North Carolina and the

off Mr.. Gilmer as the largest Shareholder in the
House of Representatives. have known Mr.. Gil
mer for the last twenty five years. and never have
before heard HIM characterized as large slavehod

gone the rounds of The opposition newspapers, and
no one has, as yet, contradicted it. And notwith-
standing Mr.. Gilmer and Mr.. Etheridge have been
playing the game of tickle me and I'll tickle you,

PLEASANT HILL, N. C,(
Jan. Is, 1860,
Mr. EDITOR: There is much speculation as to
who will and who ought to be the nominee of the
Charleston Convention The South has generously
given the North the three last candidates for Pres
dent of this great country. 1t is my humble opn-
ion that We entitled to- and of right should have
the next candidate for the Presidency. Let US Sc
lect from among our own statesmen man good and
true, who exactly represents views and feelings
relative to the issues which divide the two great
political parties of this country. When this is
DONE and the votes are counted, then we shall see
and know whether the masses of the North have
any feelings in common with us relative to the pre-
servation of the Constitution and the Union form
ed by ancestors which protects alike the inter-
cs:s of the Nirgnan and the New Yorker. Unless
the North is willing to stand by the Constitution as
1T is, the sooner we separate the better
Among the many prominent names presented for
the nomination of the Charleston Convention, is
that of Stephen A. Douglas, who is untrue to the
rights of the slave-holding States of this Union
lie advocates the doctrine that the Legislature of
Territory has the power to abolish slavery, power
that the Legislature of State don't possess, al
though State is sovereign body and Territory
is not. Moreover, Congress has no power to abol-
ish slavery in Territories and nasmuch as Terri
tories established by act of Congress, how can
it delegate to Territory to do that which it cannot
do itself? The Supreme Court has decided that no
such power is possessed either by Congress or the
Territories; which decision is enough, in my opn-
ion to satisfy every Democrat if not every citizen,
that no such power exists. l therefore regard
Douglas as no Democrat unsound, disloyal, un-
true, and unworthy the votes Of the slaye-holding
States of this Union.
The Petersburg Railroad Company has seen fit, in
its WISDOM to raise its already high rates of fare
still higher. They charge the farmer two dollars
and fifty cents for ride from this place to Peters
burg, distance of only so miles. Freight is also
high in proportion Heretofore have shipped my
goods from Baltimore directly through Petersburg
to this place; but hereafter shall have them ship
ped directly to the Railroad Agent at Portsmouth,
thence down the Seaboard Road to the Garysburg

USEFUL INFORMATION Burning fluid exnlos;ons
are not generally caused by contact Of the flames
"'m the eu'd asel but with the gas that is always
escaping from the fluid, when open to the air. Peo-
pie not knowing this fact think they may safely fill
lighted lamps if they do not allow the flame to touch
the fluid ITSELF but the invisible gas RISES u,hes
the flame, the lamp explodes, and the consequences
are sad perhaps fatal. Never bring lighted lamp
within foot at the very nearest of open fluid.
