R1eHr.-We are glad to learn that one ofthe
holders of property on the burnt district re-
fuses to have wooden building erected there
on This is right and we are glad to see it
We should have no more wooden buildings
constructed in the business part of the town.
This is a matter for the consideration OF the
town authorities and we would respectfully
call their attention it.
The example of Wilmington is well worth
following in this respect, and we hope our peo-
pie will keep it in view. When they began to
rebuild their burnt districts with brick their
real prosperity began, and they have found as
every community will who tries it that brick is
much better and cheaper in the long run.

day set apart for invoking the ad OF the Su-
preme Being to stay the calamity which mas
overtaken the greatest confedefacy et states
which the world has ever seen In ancient OF
modern times whether we look TO the extent
of territory, the developement OF commerce,
the moral power of the Union or the extraordl-
nary enerpy of its people Nothing can show
more clearly than this one fact the urgency OF
the crisis on the western shores OF the Attain
tic In fixing this date for an act SO solemn
and unprecedented, the President had evident
lv on his mind that it was six months removed
from the anniversary of American independence
when every citizen celebrates with patriotic
fervor the 9Th of July the greatest day III
the American cal lendar-the day that gave
freedom to q continent and established the ba-
sis of all self-government-tha the minority
should be bound By the acts OF the majority,
and he wishes his eountrymcn, no douot, to
draw their own moral from the circumstance
The recent intelligence from
America brings to light feeling which cannot

THE LEGISLATURE.

Both houses are still engaged in considering
the bill to call Convention.
On Thursday speeches were made in the
Senate on this SUBJ ject and on federal relations
by Messrs Bledsoe, Morehead, Worth, Outlaw,
Burton, Erwin, and Speight; and in the Com
mons by Messrs Yeates, Davis of Mecklen-
burg, Davis, of Rutherford, Green, of Frank
lin, and Gorrel On Friday the Senate was ad-
dressed on the same subject by Messrs: Dock
cry, Lane, Ramsay, Street, Brown, Thomas, as
of Davidson, Walker, and Whedbee; and the
Commons by Messrs. Folk, Baxter, Ward,
Person, Newly, Meares and Merrimon. Stan
d0rd
Now will some shrewd guesser just inform
us how much the speeches above alluded to
cost the State, and how much good has been
or is likely to be effected thereby. In the
name of common sense if our Legislature means
to do anything why not do it? Why contin-
ue to talk when the times demand instant &C.
ton The Virginia Legislature passed Con-
vention bill through both houses in three days
after assembling while ours has been in ses-
sion going on three months and done nothing.
