GREAT EATERS.

.
Great caters never ivo long. A
voracious appetite, so farfrom being
assign of health, is certain indication
Of disease. Some dyspeptics are al
ways hungry, feel best when they are
eating, but as soon as they have eaten,
they endure torments SO distressing in
their nature as to make the unhappy
victims wish for death. The appetite
ofbealth is that which incIncs to cat
moderately, when eating time comes,
and which, when satisfied leaves no
unpleasant reminders. MuItitudes
measure their health by the amount
they can cat; and Of any ten persons,
nine are gratificd az an increase of
weight, as if more bulk were IN index
to health, when in reality an excess of
fatness is, in proportion, decisive
proof of existing disease, showing that
the, absorbcnts of the system arc too
weak to discharge their duty; and the
tendency to tatncss, to obesity, in
creascs until existence is burden,
and sudden death closes the history.
Particular inquiry will almost invari-
ably elicit tho fact that flt persons,
however rubicund and jolly, are never
well; and yet they are cnyicd.
While great caters never live to an
old ago, and are never for n single day
without some Symptom" some feel
ingssslliciontly disagrceable to distract
tho minds attention unpleasantly
small enters, those who eat regularly
OF plain food, usually have no spare
flesh" are wiry and enduring and live
TO an attractive old ago

PIT AND PENDULUM.
BY THE0. II. HILL.

The poets say there is golden chain,
Binding our planet to the THRONE OF GoD,
Whose FURNISHED links, unbroken, yet remain,
Though Earth-no more BY shining seraphs trod-
Is swinging madly DER q dread abyss:
Should some malignant demon sunder this
Should this fra chord OF sympathy be riven,
And our lest world, by gravitation driven,
Plunge through the outer dark, impenitent, un-
shriven-
Who could in one wild syllable portray
The speechless horror of that direful day,
When light first wings its everlasting fight
And the lost plummet sounds the CHASTITY gloom of
night?
A soul, whose prayers, like incense from the sod
When flowers awaken with the dawn of Spring,
Arose IN child like earnestness 70 God
Whose covert was the shadow Of HIS wing
Who bore the cress-caught gitnpses of the crown,
But growing weary laid his burthen down
Who chung in safety to golden chain,
Endued with strength the feeblest to sustain,
While they in God an humble trust retain:
But who, alas! in an unguarded hour,
Insanely yielding to the tempters power,
Babe hope for all futurity farewell
And fell TO fathom apostates he'll
Who-who but he may, in one word, portray
The tOngueless terror of that awful day,
When light first wings its everlasting flight,
And the lost plummet sounds the Sullen gloon Of
nightp

The Legislature assembled again last Tuesday
We look with anxiety to its action on some sub
jects. Among the most important questions WHICH
will be brought forward is that OF negotiating for
peace through the agency of the States The sub
ject is extremely delicate one, and will produce
much excitement and many difficult complications
We believe effort will be made in this direction
notwithstanding the dangers which environ it By
the Constitution the treaty making power is vested
in the President and Senate of the Confederate
States, exclusively. Yet SO great is the yearning
for peace; among all classes and heartily they
tired Of this war and its attendant horrors that
they will hail with joy any effort, no matter by
whom put forth, to bring it to speedy termination.
1t is certain that fighting alone will never end it.
and that negotiations must at some point, be re-
sorted to- But will President Lincoln listen to any
proposition North Carolina may make? Will he
treat with her, after persistently refusing 10 enter
tain propositions from the legally authorized treaty
making power p Candor compells US to say, we do
not believe he will and that we have but little hope
of any good from the effort. Nevertheless, we have
no objection to seeing it tried. In the name Of God
and humanity, if any thing be done to stop the
flow of blood, let it be done and if all efforts fail
and our enemies force its continuance upon u.s.
then the guilt will be theirs The people of North
Carolina, acting from motives OF puresC patriotism
and Justice, they conceived voted themselves in
to this war, and they have the same right resort
to al! honorable means to bring it to a close-Ashe

"0UR ARMY.-We notice in the papers an esti
mate, that since the war began 142 600 soldiers in
connection with the Confederate army have been
converted"
The above statement which, few weeks since
appeared in the Fayetteville ObacrUer, reminded me
of conversation between a drunkard and Quaker
preacher. The former whilst under the influence of
liquor said to the latter, "you are the man that
converted me-" alt looks like my bungling work, )"
rejoined the Quaker, If the Almighty bad convert
ed thee thou would not have been in this fix"
Just fear it is with many of the soldiers, they
have only been converted By man-for if they had
been converted by the Mighty Power of God, their
hearts and affections would be changed, and instead
Of the works of the flesh being so manifest We
would begin to see the fruit of the spirit which is
love- joy, peace heekness temperance, &C., against
which there is no law. L y.

DIALOGUE BETWEEN GOV. VANCE AND
A CONSERVATIVE UPON THE POOL
RESOLUTIONS.
Governor. Well, Conservative, have you
noticed the Pool Resolutions upon the
subject of peace? l hope you will give
your vote and influence against them.
Conservative. Yes, Governor, l have
read them with care and must say am
rather disposed to endorse them. They
seem to me to be the very thing for the
times.
G. What You have not became an ad-
vocate for a separate peace by the State
You are not in favor of North Carolina
Withdrawing and making terms on her
own behalf?
c. No: nor do SO understand the res
olutions. The truth is our people earnest
ly long for peace as their chief good
They do not believe that further prose-
cution of the war, in the manner hitherto
practiced, and for. the purposes aVowed by
the President, can be productive of any
thing but evil. They believe that the al
ternatives are now presented of peace to
be secured by neutrality-suspicious.
by the Yankees, or vassalage to some for
eign nation.
G. But suppose we fail to obtain peace
by negotiation, what then-will subjuga-
tion or Vassalage follow!
G. The bare possibility of failure is no
reason for not making an effort. Nothing
great or good would be accomplished if
people were to W9it until they were assur-
ed Of success. There is a reasonable hope
of success, and firmly believe we can, by
proper effort, secure peace which will be
not only acceptable to the South, but in
finitely more to its interest than contin-
uation of the war. But can We be injured
by faAure9 Even to try and fail will be
to our advantage.
u. In what manner!
c. Why if we must continue 10 fight
we will then be more united and will fight
in better spirit when all other hope is
taken away, or if it is determined to place
our nation under foreign government,
the fact of having made every effort to Sc
cure peace, will enable us to obtain better
terps, or will, at least, place us in a more
worthy position with other nations.
G. Do you think it impossible to con-
1uer peace from the North2
o. We may continue to fight on, per-
haps for years, in sort of guerrilla war
fare, and may prevent the enemy from
completing our entire subjugation; but
the misery and suffering entailed by this
condition of things, will make life unendura-
Bile, apd the people will soon come TO pre-
fer quiet and secure government of abso-
lutte tyranny to an independence fraught
with so much bloodshed, uncertainty, and
suffering.
G. But admitting peace to be ever so
desirable, how will POOLS resolutions &C.
euro it? None but the President and Sen
ate have the peace-inaking power.
C. That proposition is not denied by the
resolutions The manner in which the !
