The Influence of a Word.

be careful how you speak, is ever IN the
mouth OF the wise and prudent. When they
essay to counsel the young and inconsider-
ate. And how needful IS his admonitisn I
How much often turns aupona word. 1t
parts asunder the most intimate friends
sets community on ) blaze-rouses the
fires Of hate, aud the horrors Of war and,
bloodshed. One t~houghtless, i~mprudent word
sends forth often an influence for evil which
is never arrested, but tells, for anght we
know, upon thedestiny OF millions
J But how precious are right words, wise,
Wholesome, good words 1t was a beautiful
thought of the sage writer, when he said,
| they are like apples of gold in pictures of
silver but they are richer and mere valua-
BILE than gold or silver. They not only serve
to look upon, to listen al, but to be t~reasur-
ed in the heart, to be laid up for use and
+ profit A word ftly spoken, is like a nail in
a Sure place-it goes home and holds in abey-
ance the proud, stubborn heart. 1t often
wakes up the slumberer on the verge of the
precipice, and calls him back from ruin.
Thought, deep reflection, a pure mind and
a purpose of good, ar. essential to the utter :
ance of wise, useful words. Sometimes the
, /, quick, nnthought word, coming up from the
heart of such a person, will do its work like
. magic, but these are exceptions. And then
there is much in the manner of saving right
words, in order to their success. They MAJ
sometimes be blnnt or sharp, but they mus
never be angrily said to effect good. a sof
answer turneth away wrath is the rule
Kind words, kindly spoken, enter doors east
lily thrown open but angry words bolt ant
bar them. There is a time, too, to speak
A fit time-a fit manner gives force to f
words, even from a child, which do more ez
%ecution, than if coming from a king.

MAIL FAc1L1TIEs.-The Raleigh Standard
calls the attention of the Postmaster General
to the former mail route from Raleigh, via Ca
,rey, on the N. G. Railroad, to Haywood,
which has been discontinued since June last.
The people have since been at the trouble
and expense of sending to Carey for their
letters and papers. There are a number of
post Offices interested in this route, and we
may add, in its connection, as formerly, with
Carthage. When the mail was carried twice
a week from Raleigh, via Haywood, to Car
thage, no less than nine pest Offices were
supplied, several Of which now have to de-
pend upon private enterprise, every letter
| paying five cents in addition to the aConfed-
crate postage, and papers probably at least
an equal proportion. Several of these post
offices are now supplied g~ratuitouslyl by the
Western railroad, as far as that goes, the
people sending various distances to the end
of the Railraid for their packages. We think
the Importance of that mineral region, al
ready great and rapidly growing, and the
patriotism of its people, who, as the Stan
dard truly says, have sent scores upon scores
of their sons, to the war, calls for the revival
of. the route from Raleigh to Carthage, and
of the establishment Of a route from Fay
e~tteville, via Egypt, to Pittsborouggh. Will
the people at the several post offices take
some pains to get up memorials to the Pest
master General on the subject? aid olau

EAST TENNEssER.-We learn from the last
Standard that the rebellion in Tennessee has
been effectually crushed. The arrival of Col.
R. B. Vance's regiment from this State in
that quarter was opportune. Col. Vance has
been on a recent visist to his home in Ashe-
vile, and the News of that place says that
the Colonel is of the opinion that the Union
feeling has played out. "A number of prom
inent rebellion leaders have gone in and vol.
unfairly taken the cath of allegiance to the
Southern Confederacy, Col. Vance admins
tered the oath to 600 citizens of Johnston
county, Tenn, and took 800 guns. Many of
them declared that they had been dsluded
and never heard but one side of the quarrel.
Col. Vance has orders to occupy the line Of
railroad with his regiment for 200 miles from
Lick Creek to Chattanooga, one or more
companies stationed at each bridge Jones

CHARLES HENRY FosrER.-This stray yam
kee, who settled in HEREFORD a few years ago
and undertook the instruction of the De-
mocracy of that region as editor of the Muir
freesborough Citizen, has been rejected by
his Yankee brethren at Washington City
The northern papers mentioning the refusal
to admit him to a seat in the House, say that
it is regarded as a just rebuke of an at
tempt to gain a-seat by taking advantage of
the peculiar condition of public affairs, with
out having been chosen by any number OF
citizens anywhere to represent them

A SHORT TRP.--The Richmond Wing
says, Old Scott has returned to the United
States, after a ~sojourn of a fortnight in
France. Whether he found that kingdom too
small to contain him and his cora sposa ; or.
whether he was driven back by the contempt
of a people who have no stomach for trait
ors ; or, whether some bloated conception Of
his ability to conduct a war against both
Great Britain and the Confederate States
after he had failed against the latter singly !;
or, whether the perturbed and avenging con,
science, which goads the murderer back to
the scene of his crime, fly where he may, has
brought this parricide SO soon again to the
theatre of his infamy, we cannot tell, and
do not care. He is back again, and VIC

of these eyentful times s1r

The N. G. SALT CoMMIssIosER.--A gentle.
man informs the Fayetteville Observer that
he travelled on the cars early lastssweek with
Dr., North, who was on his way to the coast
for the second time. He had been 10 the
Virginia Salt Works to familiarizes himself
with the whole process ofsalt making, for
which purpose the proprietors there had kind.
ly given him every facility and Information.
He thinks he can make some improvements
on the works. His difficulty is in getting the
necessary salt pans cast for which he has
tapplied in every accessible quarter in and
out of the State. AS he could not be in iVir-
ginia. and at the foundries and on the coast
tallat one and the same time, he had prevail
