DISTRESS IN NORTH CARoL1NA.-We have
heard a report which we believe to lie true,
that some of the people OF Pitt county, a few
days since, hampered the sheriff. compelled
him to produce all his writs retu:nabeto court
and his executions, and committed arits and
2,2O0 writs 10 the hands of the sheriff Of Pitt.
The present Legislature Of the district
formerly comprising the State Of North Caro-
lina," had better remain here in perpetual
session, and barricade themselves in the Capt.
toll, than return to the people without giving
them some temporary relief from the ruinouS
pressure of writs and executions now upon
them. Honest debts must be paid: but this is
no time to sell people out Ct house and home
for debt -Raleiqh Standard.

SINGULAR Casa gentleman was picked
up in the streets of Savannah, few nights
ago, by the police, who put him in the guard
house under the charge of drunk and help
less" Friends called to see him, among whom
was a physician. The chief police officer told
the doctor there was no use to see the patient
before next morning, as he was in good charge
and would be all right next morning. The
doctor, being personal friend, insisted on
seeing the patient, Notwithstanding the remon-
stranccs of the policeman. On examination
the poor man was dead, having been attacked
with apoplexy, although strictly abstemious
and temperate. - ISauanaaA Republican,

as he examines the dear sufferer; how she
wonders what he thinks what would she give

his visit how cheerful word from him makes
her heart leap with joy, and gives her spirit and
strength to watch over the bed Of distress /.
Her whole soul goes out to him in uuspcakahle
gratitude when he brings back to her from The
power Of the grave her husband or darling
child. The doctor knows many OF our secrets,
of our sorrows, which no one else knows; some
OF our sins, perhaps, which the great God alone

VIRGINIA MGNERALs.-Th notices in thi>
paper concerning the mineral wealth OF Virgin
ia, and especially reference to The large &C.
post Of manganese in ockbridgc, have at
tracsed attention in the North, and yesterday
application was made through this Office from
Philadelphia Ior Il large quantity OF manganese.
We nave not a doubt that there will be large
demand for any OF the minerals Of Virginia
which her enterprise may deyclorc. The fact
is, the consumption Of all minerals entering
into the fabrication OF manufactures in any
manner always keeps pace with their production.
Look at coal, for instance: was there ever
q time when it was in excess of the demand Tor
il? We're our lines completed to the mines OF
the West, and tracks Of railway we're cxcm
siycly occupied in the transportation of coal
there would be demand for more than all their
capacity could supply. - Richmond Dispatch.

MIR, CHARLES SUMNER, in the United
States Senate, on the 5th instant, surpassed
himself and all competitors for the palm OF
dabolism. The bankrupt bill was before the
Senate, and Mr.. Sumner moved an amendment
that no person who could not take the test
oath should be allowed to avail himself Of the
benefit Of the bill.
Mr.. Fessenden sharply reuukcd him, and
characterized the amendment as AN odlous
proposition" Mr.. Sumner replied to Mr.
Fessepden, and tried to defend himself; but
the Senate rejected the proposition by vote
of 80 to 10.
