HIGHWAY RoBBERY.-Mr. Green, Tax
Collector of the Ninth Township, was robbed
on Tuesday last, near San Domingo of four
hundred dollars while on the way to San
Andreas to make his monthly settlement
The road agent made Mr.. Green dismount
from his horse and remove the saddle so as
to give the robber an opportunity to escape
after "going through him." The villain
did not take the trouble to disguise himself
at ALL and Mr.. Green can easily identify him
should he ever see him again. The only way
to put stop to the fearfully increasing crime
of highway robbery is to hang the perpetra-
tors to the nearest tree when caught. 1t
might be a lesson to them.
PERsoNAL.-Mr. r. T. Hazard an old resi-
dent of Mokelumne Hill, who has been ab-
sent in the Eastern States during the past

learn that he is ale and hearty, and that
durlng his absence he has taken unto himself
what some folks affect to believe is God S

that drinks are two bits apiece" in the At
lantc States. We have given up the idea OF
travelling in that direction.

Life is sinking to decay
Should there come in frigbtful numbers,
Ger your heads the silvery gray.
Life is real, life is earnest,
Why should any one despair
"Dust thou art, to dust returnest,'
Was not spoken of the hair.
Not the marks of age or sorrow,
On your tresses long should stay
You can live that each tomorrow
Finds them darker than to-day.
Time is long, but age shall find you.
Though your hair with lustre wave
Soon when fading twill remind you
You are marching to the grave.
In the worlds sublimer calling.
Where we each our race must run,
If your hair be falling, falling.

Trust no other, howe'er pleasant
None can do what this has done:

What noble test it's stood;

REMARKS OF MIR. SPEED,
OF PAsQUOTANK,

VI A-hSSSoih4Nh,
In the Senate on Thursday, 14th inst, on the
Bill to issue Treasury Notes to pay the In
terest on the State Bonds.
Mr.. SPEAKER Il do not feel at liberty
if so disposed, to trouble the Senate with any
heightened disquisition upon financial mat
tiers, or the principles which govern trade,
credit and kindred subjects. I gave my
reasons on yesterday why should not vote
for the bill introduced by the venerable
Senator from Orange. Idiffer with the gentle
man with great Difference He is cool, col
lected, well Informed and deeply impressed
with the difficulties Of the situation, and for
titles his bill with the appreciation of some
of the best informed, sagacious and patriotic
men in the State,-men in whom the public
have confidence; and concur with the pub
lie in its high appreciation of them. Never
theless, Sir, l am here to act upon the con
victions to which my own mind is irresisti-
bly, driven by facts and circumstances.
The gentleman says, claim to he friend
Of reliet for the people. The Senate and
public must judge of that matter from my
acts. know the people clamor for relief
and desire to afford it; but Sir, when they
cry for bread, do not wish to cast them a
stone, and believe that is what they will
get in this bill stated on yesterday, that,
in my opinion, these notes, if issued, would
not answer the purpose intended, and gave
my reasons. understand it to be well
settled principle, that deprecated currency
will drive better one from circulation. In
the war, bank notes drove specie from c;rcu-
lation; State Treasury notes, bank notes and
Confederate money excluded all other species
of paper. Now, Sir, am well satisfied that
| these notes will start at depreciation. They
will be considered worth less than Federal
currency or bank notes, and will drive them
from circulation We now, according to the
best information can get have only about
one and half millions of currency in this
/ State, and that at depreciation of -pe
cent in gold. But, Sir, the Senator insists
that I said that South Carolina has issued
bills receivable, and that they passed at only
20 per cent, and as greenbacks are 25 per
cent, they are the better Now what did say
was, that the Secretary of State of South
Carolina said they were at Is per cent dis
count on greenbacks; and | will inform the
Senator that they are now 16 per cent below
Federal currency; that the Legislature au-
] thorized the issue of five hundred thousand
| dollars, but the depreciation was so rapid
that the officers thought it best to discon
| tinue the issue,-and now, when there has
been one hundred and eleven thousand dol
lars Withdrawn from circulation, there being

CIVIL GOVERNMENT A FAILURE IN NORTH
CARoLINA.--A highly intelligent friend
writes us as follows from one of the Counties
east of Raleigh:
Something must be done to protect life
and property. Gov. Worth and the Legisla-
ture have utterly failed to do so. Instead of
passing Railroad bills, mammoth Bank bills,
five hundred thousand dollar revenue bills,
and taxing the farmers to build useless
monuments over the dead, why does not the
Legislature do something to prevent labor
from leaving the State and something to en-
courage Immigration? Why does Gov.
Worth and the Legslaturepermit Regulators,
horse-thleves, robbers and assassins to 90 on
with their depredations and crimes, so that
no mans life or property is safe 2"
