IMPORTANT FROM NORTH CAROLINA.
The NORTH Cdroiiao Times The now 10y
al paper at Nowbern, says:
"North Carolina isbognniagto furnish
her quota to the federal Goyernment.--
One loyal white regiment has been raised
in this district, and it is under the com
mard of Col. McQhesney andthe second,
under the command of Captain Charles
Henry Foster, IS rapidly filing up, and
about three hundred men have been enlist
ed within the last six or eight weeks by
his personal exerions. Anotherrogiment
Of white soldiers from North Carolina has
been raised by that most excellent man..
Gen Burnside, in East Tennessee. Toall
this We must add the two regiments of
colored volunteers that have been raised :
and are now in service. a cavalry regi-
iment Of blacks is also recruiting by Ma
jor Garrad of the Third New York cavalry
This last regiment is obtaining about
one hundred recruits day. If the De
partment of North Carolina has been an
expensive one, it must be allowed that
she has become partially able to repay the
government for the treasure expended. by
furnishing her with mon who arc use to
the country and know how to use a rifle.

SAGACIOUs AND FATHFuL-A Nor
folk exchange paper states that gentle
man of that city having business at the
Navy Yard, proceeded thither on horse
back, accompanied by Newfoundland
dog. AS it is contrary to the regulations
of the yard for any but foot passengers
to enter, unless by a special permit he
dismounted at the gate, the dog remaining
with the horse On his return he was
informed that during his absence drum
ken fellow had mounted the horse, with
the apparent intention of taking a free
ride, butmuch to his astonishment, doubt
less, he had no sooner reached the saddle
than his leg was seized by the dog, and
the faithful animrl not only succeeded in
dragging him off, but got between the
loaier and the horse, keeping the former
at respectful distance, and finally COM.
pelling him II leave The fact is some-
what singular, as the dog was merely a pet,
and had never undergone the training to
which such animals arc usually objected, !,
and his conductor this occasion could only
be attributed to the workings of his natu-
raj instincts.

THE FUTURE OF NORTH CAROLINA.
An Eastern paper says: " A scien-
tific gentleman who for several years
previous to 1860, was engaged in ex-
plorations throughout the mountain
ranges Of North Carolina intimates to
us, and with force that new field Of
competition is about being opened by
which New England must ultimately
be a great sufferer.
1. Wool can be grown at about half
the price at which it can be produced
in New England, because green pasture
can be had all the winter for hesheep,
SO that they will not require to be fed,
as in New England.
2. The mountain ranges of.North
Carolina pass centrally, almost be-
tween the grain-growing and cotton
States, and will afford ample power to
turn all the spindles in the United
States. The mildness of the climate,
he feels assured, must, attract capital
and population, SO as to make that re-
gion the paradise Of fmanufactories.

first day of february. 1 am not with
out anxiety lest lappear to be impor-
tunate in thusrecalling your attention
to subject upon which you have SO
recently acted; and nothing buta deep
conviction that the public interest de-
mand it, could induce me toincur the
hazard being misunderstood on this
point. The Executive approval was
given by me to the resolution men
toned, and it is now, by close atten-
ton and fuller knowledge of the facts,
that l feel constrained to recommend
a reconsideration of the subject.

H5~ A year or so ago there used to bd
on "our floor, in one Of the hotels of this
city,.a very lady-like, tidy, pretty, Irish
chambermaid whom it is wcll enough to
call Rose. A grave-seeming, good-look-
ing but gray haired gentleman offfty odd,
occupied lob, and as he sat at his little ta-
bic one morning, Rose came in to bERsha
little.
Rose, quoth he, 'Ive fallen in love
with you. Can | venture to hope you will
think well Of me?"
Be shure you may, your honor, replied
Rose with twinkle of her bright eyes;
''for me father and me muther liver told me
to rivirince gray hairs all the days of me
life"
Rose switched out of the room, and the
elderly gentleman went to the BARRIERS.

ORIGIN OF GETTING THE SACK
Two gentlemen, one a Spaniard and
the other a German who were recon-
mended by their birth and services to
the Emperor, Maximilian H., both
coveted his daughter, the fair Helena
Scharfeqninn, in marriage. This
prince, after a long delay, one day in
formed them, that estceming them
equally, and not being able to bestow
a preference, he should leave it to the
force and address of the claimants to
decide the question. lie didnotmean,
however, to risk the life of either and
consequently would not permit wea-
pons to be used, but had ordered a large
bag to be produced. 1t was his decree
that whichever succeeded in putting
his rival into the bag should obtain the
hand of his daughter. This singular
encounter between the two gentlemen
consequently took place, and before
the whole court. The contest lasted
for more than an hour, when the Span
lard yielded, and the German Eberhard
Won Talbert, having PLANTED" hfsfiyal
in the bag, took it upon his back and
very gal lantly laid.it at the feet of his
mistress, whom he then espoused.

ADVICE TO APPRENTICEs.-When
serving your apprenticeship, you will
have time and opportunityto stockyour
mind with useful information. The
only way for a young man to prepare
himself forusefulness, is to devote him
self to study during his leisure hours.
First, be industrious in your business
-bo frugal be economical, nevercom-
plain that you have to work; 90 to
work with alacrity and cheerfulness,
and it will become d habit which will
make yourospectedand beloved by his
master or employer; make it your busi-
ness to see to and promote his insresHl
by taking care of his, you will learn
to take careof yourown. Young men
at the present day are too fond Of get
ting rid Of work. They seek for lazy
employments, and frequently turn out
poor miserable vagabonds. You must
avoid all wishes to live without labor;
labor is a blessing ginstead ofa curse; it
makes your food, clothing, aud every
other thing necessary, and frees you
from temptation to be dishonest.

IMPORTANT SEIzuRE-A very impor-
tant seizure of Confederate bonds and
treasury notes, to the amount of seven
million, was made in New York by the
United States Marshal Murray detectives.
Alarge quantity of plates, dies, tools,
machinery, &c, was also seized, and the
parties concerned arrrsted.

An INGENIOUS SLANDERER.-An En-
glish statesman having charged an officer
of the Government with dishonesty, was
required to retract it before the House of
Commons, which he did in the following
words:
Il said he was dishonest, it is true; and
! am sorry for it."
This was satisfactory; but what was the
surprise the following day, to see the re-
traction printed in the paper thus:
Il said he was dishonest, it is trne, and
/ am sorry for it.'
BY simple.transposition of the comma
and senlicolon, the ingenious slanderer rep
resented himself, not only as having made
no recantation, but even as having reiter-
ated the charge.
