Il
Some OF THE FRu1Is.-It is estimated thab not
loss than 1000 journeymen mechanics and 1aboring
men, all busy at work and receiving good wnges
three months ago, are now out Of employ |! The
cause Of all this is the unsettled stata Of the coun
try, produced by the madmen in Cong1ess They
assert there shall be no union between North and
South until the South will permit negro sufftage-
which is not likely to be the case vary soon, If
ever. Thus destroys confidence among business
men in both sections. The Northern manufac-
turer Will not credit bis wares to the South; and
the sonta, doubtful Of its FUTURE will not purchase
anything beyond its present necessiti es. North-
en- capital has stoppel going South, and without
it, crops cannot be raise:-and without crops, the
South carnot buy Of the North. Consequently,
Northern manufactures are oyer-stocked with
wares, and workmon are discharged. With an
honest effort at conciliaton by Congress, our Diff
oulties might oil be settled in fortnight-and in
one month every man would be agalA steadily
at his work Congress- is responsible for all this.

North Caroline Items.

Wn1IAH T. zBAN.-Few names are better md
more favorably known in North Carolina than that
of VIM. T. Balm, Grand Secretary OF the Grand
Lodge Of North Carolina. Iu the Lodges Of the
State his name is q household word, and his
memory will be sweet.
This venerable servant Of God and good citizen,
after several years of weakness and disease, was
gathered to his fathers last night January 81, as
fhe residence Of his son, Ar. D. w. BAN, IN this
city, full Of years and ripe IN grace.
He was one Of our oldest citizens, being, at the
time Of his DEATH in the 18th year Of ms ago.
SNAIL Pox.-The Mayor Of Charlotte announces
thtt the small pox has enirely disappeared In ttat
place.
new FAoroRY.-Gen. "A Dockery, DR.. 8. J.
Steele and John Shortridge, on the part Of the
South Union Manufacturing Company OF hch-
nnond County, publishes in the Wilmington pa
pers proposals for bids to build their new factory
building.
Factory about to be established in this city is be-
ing manufactured as fast as possible: The Com
Dafy will have everything ready by the time the
machinery can be had.-Seattnes.
General sewen, who has been appointed by Cen
eral Howard to investigate on the part OK the Bu-
this State has arrived in this city, and has had an
interview with Governor NOTWITHSTANDING, 21st VT
BURNED 70 DEATH.-A distressing accident oc-
cnrred in this vicinity on Thursday. An old wo-
man named Belts, while sleeping in ter bed, WAS
burned to death. It is supposed she lay down with
pine in her mouth; the fire caught the bedding
and caused the accident. ayeHeuate Neecs.
ANOTHER INTERNAL IMPROVEMENT SoRME-A
gentleman OF this city goes to Raleigh to-day to
enieavor to obtain charter from the Legislature
for the building OF canal from Stokes Ferry, on
tue Yadkin River, to Prosperity, on Deep River, IN
Moore county. This sohsrne does not ask any ap-
lion it is thought can be- raised by private sub
scription. The effects Of this scheme ii. success
al, win be to make Deep and Cape Fear Rivers,
by The introduction of volume Of water from the
Yadkin, and the removal Of distractions In those
streams, navigable from Prosperity to Whining
ton: to open canal for steamboat navigation
from Prosperity to Stokes Ferry, at which point
to.EWilkesboro' the Yadlin is said to be nayi-
liable. IF this scheme is feasible there is no
doubt OF the beneficial influence which it would
:e1ers on the prosperity Of Wilmington, Fay
etteyille, and the other places and districts
through which it would pass. Whether it is feasi-
BE, we are not prepared to advance an opinion
now, but We shall examine the subject carefully
and give our readers, at some other time, the 'en-
eft Of our investiga atoms. ~

TIE HA1R.-The ordinary length Of the hair Of
the head in woman varies from twenty inches TO
ysrd, in some instances even longer than tnat but
they are Of unusual occurrence; its weight fom
five ounces to eight ounces. A cotemporary ro-
ates an instance where the hair on the ady's head
attained the measurement Of two yards in length.
But its proper length for texture and strength
should not exceed twenty -four inches and It's yalue
as long hair is much deprecated in price when it
fills shorter. It has been calculated by Withof
that the beard grows at the rate OF q limo and q
half per week, which is the length Of six and halt
inches in the course Of q year: while for man of
eighty years Of age twenty ty-seven feet would have
fallen before the razor. We are Informed that the
beard Of the Burgomastar Hans Steininsed was so
long that upon one occasion, having forgotten 20
fold up the same, he trod upon it as no ascended
to the council chamber at Brunn, and was thereby
thrown down and killed. And still further we may
cite from Eble that at the Princes Court at Edam
there is full length painting of q carpenter whose
beard was nine feet long, 80 that when engaged at
work he was obliged to carry it in bag. In the
Industrial Exhibition of 1862 thore were exhibited
specimens OF human hair taken from the heads Of
English, French md italian ladics, the longest
having b en- cut from one Of our own country
women. It was q lock of jet black hair, and meas
ured seventy y-four inches in lengtb-Ehgish psper.

MrEREsr1Sa RELICS. cs.-Two objects of sonsiderar
bic interest are preserved at the rooms OF the Ane-
r;can Tract Society corner Of Nassau and Spruce
streets, New York The Evening Gazette describes
them as follows ::
the field pulpit of George Whitfield, which he used
to double up and take about with him in his wagon.
It is slight framework, with floor to stand
upon, raised about three feet from the ground,
with q railing some three feet high. 1t is j1st
large enough for man to stand up in, but he
would have to preach with less gesticulation thau
many Of our modern divines OF the whole thing
would upset. It is painted dark red, and 80 con-

SEA BIRDs.-Tho question is often asked-where
do the sea birds obtain fresh water to slack their
thirst We have never seen it satisfactorily an
swered till q few days SINCE. An old skipper, with
heque1tly seen these birds at sea, far from any
land thsJ could furnish them With water, lowering
round and round q storm cloud, ehatterng Like
ducks on q hot dsy beside pond, aud drinking in
squal for hundred miles. or even FARTHER oil, and
skud for it with almost uncomfortable swistness.
How long sea birds can exist without water is only
0 matter of conjecture; but probably their powers
OF enduring thirst are increased by habit, and,
possibly, they can go without water for many days
il not for several years.

3 TIE PRESIDENTS SAL4aRY.-1t is net true, as
some suppose, that the President Of the United
states receives but S25, 600 q year. The expenses
of the White House are paid mostly by the people,
and all the recent Presidents have saved largely.
out Of their twenty five thousand a year. the
President has 90 rent to pay. Congress furnishes:
kitchen and table furniture. It supplies his fuel,
pays his gas bill, pays all his servants, supports
his stable, and maintains his flower garden and
kitchen garden, his conserystories, and his pleas
ure grounds. Even his balls aud dinner parties
are frequently paid from public funds.
Some idea OF the amount expended BY Congress-
TOR the support Of the Presidency may be formed
BY considering the following items in the last ap-
preparation hill: =
Fuel for the Presidents hbuse $4,000
