NORTH CAROLINA SMALL NoTEs--We are
glad to see that North Carolina small notes OF
the denomination of one, two, three and four
dollars are freely passing current 1T our com
munity. They are certainly great convent

yer and gold is worth from II to 10 cent,
So says the Norfolk Herald of yesterday. 1t

case here The North Carolina notes are just
as good as so much gold There are no sound

those Of North Carolina.-Pet. E.rpress.

THE BLOCKADE OF TIE SOUTHERN
DDRTC

The following from the London 1eIegr1ap@
will be read with peculiar interest at this time !:
With regard to the blockade question, we
have to state that it cannot be solved oy any
government in America, but must be lett to
the maritime powers of Europe-which acting
upon the law of self preservation, mnst, Gt
course, tar6i9 all attempts to erel"de hcIr com.
ae1ee from the ports Of the South the ruin of
which, though it may crafty the passions,
would not serve the North. Such policy OF
coercion, therefore, would be both short-sig ght-
ed and Intellectual. The new tariff for which
Mr.. Lincoln is not responsible, though he will
not be unwilling to accept its consequences, Is
an uuwse measure on the part OF those VINO
framed it.
President Lincoln has the interest of the
Union to protect, and Lord Palmerston is
bound to defend those of Great Britain b"'
tile former cannot be oZlosoed to 6lockade or
stimulated to any particular advocacy OF North
| ern ambition.

EXTRACT FROM GIN. JACKsOH's FARE
WELL ADDREss.-The following intensely
reasonable" sentiments We take from
Gen. Jackson's Farewell Address, whom
we were taught to regard as the very elm
bOdifnent of Democracy; and we respect.
fully ask our unwavcring Democratic
friends to read them carefully: " II is well
known" said the stern old patriot and
incorporating Democrats, THAT there
have always been those amongst US who
wish to enlarge the powers Of the General
Government and experience would seem
to indicate that there is tendency on the
part Of this Government especially Mt
this timc] to OvcrStep the boundaries
marked out for it by the Constitution
Its legitimate authority is aJunIdntiy
syVicient for all the purposes for which it
was created; and its powers expressly
enumerated, there Can be no Justification
for claiming anything JeyOnd them. Ev.
cry attempt to exercise power beyond
those limits should be promptly aud firm
" opposed. For one evil example will
lead to other measures still more miSchicv-
Gus; and if the principle Of constructive
powers, or supposed advantages. or tenn.
porary circumstances, shall ever be per-
mttcd to justify the assumption of Il
power not given by the Constitution, the
General Government will before long all.
sorb all the powers Of legislation, and you
will have, in effect, but one cons 1lidatcd
government"
