TIE LoYALTY OF NoaTH CARoLIsrANs.--
The le'. Newborn correspondent Of the New
York World, writing on the llth, thus rep
ressnts the people e o!f North Carolina:
Much has been said regarding the loyalty
of the, people Of this State. They have
beea accused Of Subscribing to the amnes.
ty oath as a matter Of necessity, nursing
sentiments Of rebellion 10 their hearts. This
is gross MISREPRESENTATION of these people.
There is no des.ie to act-contrary to The let
ter and spirit Of THEM obligations, and were
the military removed from the State to.lnor-
row, not the slightest attempt would be
made by former Confedera,es to change. the
present. order Of affairs. The reople Of the
State have accepted the decision OF the war
as final, and they will now bend every ener-
gy to uphold and perpetuate the Govern.
ment against which they rebelled.

A Cockncy AstonIshed.

The Rev. DR.. Breckenridge made his visit
to Europe several years ago, and met the
following incident which is recorded in the
memoranda of his travels:
gentlemanlike and well-informed Eng.
lishman who was in the stage coach with
IHe, and who found out that was an Amer
lean, after dilatng on the greatness, the
beauties, the majesty, in short, of this no.
Llest of British rivers, tho Thames,
concluded thus
Sir, it may seem almost Incredible to
you, but il is nevertheless true, that this
prodigious stream is, from its mouth TO its
source, not much. it tall short of on hun.
dred and fifty miles long"
| looked stoadfastly in his face to see II
he was jesting, but the gravity Of deep
conviction was upon it. Indeed, John Bull
never jests. After composing myself
moment, responded:
Perhaps, sir, you never heard Of the
Ohio River?"
81 think have"
Perhaps Of the Missouri?'
:" | think SO, though not quite sure.'
" Certainly, Of the Mississippi?
"0h, YES"
"Well, sir, man viii descend the Ohio
on steamboat Of the largest class a thou.
sand miles"
"Of what sir ?--how many, sir?v
A thousand miles aud there he will
meet another steamboat of the same class.
which has como in an opposite direction
twelve hundred miles down the Missouri;
and then after going fiftocn hundred more
down the Mississippi, he may see that food
of waters disenbosue by Gtty channels into
the sea-"
had made up my mind to he considered
a cheat, 80 went calmly and emphatically
through the statement As | progressed.
MY companion seemed somewhat disposed
TO take my story as a personal affront; but
at it's close, " lot down hiS vsago into a

This, Sir, is the end of this sad story. A
single slip, or a single false step, has been
the sole cause Of this frightful calamity and
has brought about misery never to bo for
gotten. | have only one observation to ofIor
upon it. II the rope had not broken you
would not have received this letter. foT we
could not possibly have held tho four mon,
falling as they did--all at the same time
and with severe jerk. But, at the same
time, it is my belief no accident would have
happened had the rope between those who
fell been as tight, or nearly as tight, as Il
was between raugwalder aud myself. Tho
rope, whom used property is u safeguard;
but whether on rocks, or whether on snow
or glacier, if two men approach each other
so thar tho rope falls in loop, the whole
party is involved in danger; for, should one
slip or fall he may acquire before he is
stopped, q momentum that may drag down
one man after another, and bring dcstruc-
tion on all; but il the rope is tight, this is
all but impossible.

Tlpc COmImg Dnmger.

Death, says tho New York Tribune,
seems to be riding his Pale Horse over
desert plain, sea and city-and we trace
his march from Asia and Africa to Constan
tinople thence through the countries of the
Danube and over the mountains to Spain
until his advance whom last heard from was
encamped in Manchester, England. Wheth-
or he has time to cross the Atlantic or not
before the irosts como we cannot ray, but
Manchester is not many days distant and
Death seems to travel with the swituess
of morning. We should not be surprised
to SEQ his grim majesty any day debarking
atCastle Garden and riding up Broadway.
We do not expect the frosts for six or
eight weeks and he might have a busy time
during that period with time to prepare
for the coming Summer. When we know
that cholera il a controlAble disease, aud
that the merest prudence on the part of
citizen or State would stay its progress, it
seems almost madness for us to hesitate.
Measures should at once he taken to put
tho country in q condition of sanitary de.
fense. 1t might be done by the regular
authorities, but they never do the right
thing at the right timo. Somebody should
do it. Every man in his own sphere can
do much towards preventing this pesti.
lence. All plaques, cholera, and yellow
fever especially, assail the intemperatc and
unwary first. If a man lives life of dis
sipaion and rcckIessness, drinks vile IL
quors, allows his system 10 become vitiated
and dcbilitated by disease, ho will pass
away before the contagion like breath.
We invite disease when we wrong the laws
Of nature. We become easy victims to
pestlence when we allow the liver to be-
come deranged, and the lungs to lose power
and the brain to become heated and OPP
pressed by long hours of sloth and intern
perance. Every man, therefore should
mount guard over himself and his home to
resist tho progress of the invader.
