rTNHESE Instruments having been before the
i public for lie past thirty years, have upon
their excellence alone, attained an unpurchased
precminerce that pronounces them unequalcd.
Their TONE combines grent power, richness
sweetnes and fine singing quality, as well as
great putty of intonaton and harmonlousness
throughout the entire scale.
The TOUCH is plant and elastic, and is en-
tirely free from the stiffness found in so many
pianos, which causes the performer to 80 so
easily tire. m
In WORKMANSHIP they cannot Ibe excelled.
Their action IS constructed with care and at

On motion of Mr.. French the rules were

act to amend the charter of the Whining
ton, Charlotte and Rutherford Railroad
Company was taken up and passed its sew
eral readings.
SPECIAL ORDER
| Substitute for an act to provide for a
system of public instruction.
| The bill was considered by sections.
| Section was amended by inserting a
prOvlso that no sectarian Or political text
book shall be used.
Mr.. Painter moved to amend the proviso
by saying that text books, manuscripts and
other school teaching materials OF perma-
nent residents of this State shall at all times
have precedence, and shall be selected by
the State Board of Education when the
same cau be obtained. Lost.
| The section was then adopted.
Quite a. long debate took place upon the
recommendation of the committee to strike
out section 4, which reads rs follows =
60 The text books selected and presented
by the Board of Education shall remain
| in use for period of not less than five
years"
Mr.. Bowman said that unless this sec
| ton was stricken out, he would look upon
the bill as an attempt to force upon the
| people of North Carolina certain system
| education i'll order to lnstll into the minds
| Of the pupils certain creeds, theories and
principles utterly repugnant to all OF our
preconceived notions and ideas Of what IS
right and proper.
Mr.. Ingram said he thought that if this
portion of the bill stood as was, the title
should be changed. and instead Of being
an act to provide for system of public in
struction, it should be called bill to es-
tablish publishing house for the benefit
of certain spectators.
He hoped the section would be stricken
out.
Messrs. French, Foster and Stilley OPP
posed the striking out of the section.
Mr.. Durham said it seems to be the in
tent of this bill to give this Board of Ldu-
cation power to prescribe text books, and
to force parents to send their children to
the schools where the text books are used.
Though the books selected should be Oh
| noxious, yet parents were to be compelled
to send their children 10 the school if they
were not able to send them elsewhere
Even the poor privilege OF keeping their
children at home is denied to them, so he
hoped the section would be stricken out.
The yeas and nays being called, the
House refused to strike out the section by
vote of yeas 43, nays 49.
Mr.. Bowman said he regarded this re-
fusal Of sthe House to strike out this Sec
ton as an attempt to force upon the people
of the State certain doctrines. He would
warn gentlemen that, if this compulsory
and infamous course WAS pursued, that the
whole bill would be fought to the bitter
end, &c He intended to move, this after
noon, when the bill comes up as unfinished
business, to lay it on the table.
The House then adjourned until clock
this afternoon.

An OFFICER SHoT.-We regret to learn
that Lieut. Alexander, of the 9Th United
States Infanty, who was formerly on duty
in this city, was killed by one of his own
men last Monday night. At the time OF
the fatal occurrence, he was with his COM
mand at Fort Macon. An alarm OF fire
was raised, and Lient. Alexander rushed
out through one of the sally ports Of the
fort. The sentinel on guard challenged
him twice, but under the excitement, the
challenge was not needed, and the sentry,
thinking it was a prisoner attempting to
escape, fired. The musket ball passed
through the Lieutenant's body, producing
almost instant death, and wounding an or
DERBY, who was closely following him
through the sally port No blame is at
tached to the action of the sentinel, who
simply did his duty under the usual orders
to military guard.-Ra. Standard.
SwtrzERIAND.-A letter just received
from Mr.. Atkinson, informs us that he still
meets with much opposition in inducing
emigrants to go to North Carolina. He
saws the Northern and Western Immigra
ton agents now in Europe use all sorts Of
falsehood to prevent their coming here. He
has, however, again quite a number OF
them engaged to come here, and as soon
as he can get sufficient to. Justify charter
ing vessel he will ship them to Whining
ton direct. He thinks he will be able to
fill all orders now in his hands by May
next, when he expects to return himself.
