Not WITH Us.-That man at Raleigh who
refused either to loan, hire or sell the State roll
lug mill for the purpose of preparing copper for
percussion caps, and drove the State to the ncccs
sty of pressing the mill into the service, and then
demanded four times its cost, will hardly be able
hereafter to look one of our brave volunteers in
the eye That was carrying individual rights to
such an extreme az to involve his fidelity to the
South. We would stand guard with no such
man; and we think those who defend him, have
put their feet into an ugly business.-Salisbury

PAY PART OF Your BANK DEBTs-It has
been suggested to us that the State having to be
supplied with money by the Banks, it IS the duty
of those indebted to these institutions to pay at
least portion of their Indebtedness to enable them
to afford the necessary aid to the State. If those
indebted to the Banks cannot do more, they can
at least pay the interest on their debts. Indeed,
so absolutely necessary is it that debtors to tho
banks should afford them some assistance at this
time that should they fail to do so, we may expect
suits to be brought by them, judgments obtained
and executions issued, though We do not suppose
any Bank would sell property at this time.-Rul-
eigh Register.


It would also be we'll for individuals to settle with
each other as well as with the Banks.

the habit of thinking coherentiy, to say
nothing Of speaking thus? It is hard for
an empty bag to stand upright, as poor
Richard says, and although we may try to
think that the public apathy toward con-
yentions and associations is owing to the
absence of novelty, still it must occur to
Us occasionally that possibly there is an
other reason.

respect, is it manly, to accept what we have
no claim to, especially when it is under

we work our own way up to recognition by

Contrary to its usual custom, the order
Of Free Masons has dabbled little in
politics. In the Grand Chapter Of the
State of New York, which convened its
annual session, at Albany, last week the
"National agitation" came up for discus
sion. Their action was based upon a
from Chapter in Roch-
ester, that the State Grand Chapter open
communication with Masonic bodies in
other States on the subject of our nation
al difficulties. This was referred TO a
committee, who reported adversely. They
say that Masonry cannot rightfully inter.
fere in the discussion such correspondence
would provoke; but they add that to be
stoical or Indifferent would be impossible
and it would be untrue to say that Ma
sons are or can be Indifferent to their
country's condition, that love for the Tn
ion of the States and the Constitution il
cherished sentiment of the Order, and
the preservation of that Union a sacred
duty devolving upon every Mason. They
deprecate the possibility of fraternal strife
and call upon the Order to use every hon
orabe and influence to avert such ca
lamity. The report of the Committee
declining to open correspondence, was
adopted by the Grand Chapter. A reso
luton was also adopted that the GranG
Chapter affectonatelv and earnestly rec.
ommend to the Masonic fraternity thro'-
out the land, in this day of national ca.
lamity and excited feeling, that they
cherish in their hearts and exemplify in
their lives, the cardinal principle, of Free
Masonry, viz Fraternity, Brotherly Love
and Universal Charity; and thus, by pre-.
cept and example, soothe irritated feeling
allay sectional animosity aud prejudice
aud thereby bring legitimately and fairly
the Great Masonic fraternity, with its
moral and conservative principles and
power, to second the efforts of patriotism m
in seeking to avert national Indignation

he accomplished his purpose.


He now asks simply of the Legislature that

their wishes by providing for the claim.

One of the first settlers Of Kentucky was
Daniel Wood. Leaving a comfortable home
in one of the Eastern States, he, with his
family, consisting of his wife and little
daughter about eight years of age, sought
home on the far western borders of Ken
tucky. Here he soon built himself a log
cabin, and, assisted by lame but faithful
negro servant, who had accompanied him
from the east he soon had quite patch of
ground cleared, and began anew the life of
a farmer combined with that Of hunter.


Prosperity smiled upon his efforts, and
SIX months passed without anything occur
ring to mar the even tenor Of his way.


1t was bright, beautiful morning in
June. Old Sol had just turned out from his
eastern couch, and peeping over the hills.
was bathing the horizon in crimson with
his smiles when, armed with his trusty RI
fe, and pack Of skins strapped upon his
back, Daniel Wood issued from his cabin
door. He was bound on visit to a neigh
boring station, some miles distant, to pur-
chase a new supply of ammunition and other
little necessaries and luxuries that were
needed at the cabin. Pauslng upon the
threshold of his home, he took a long and
anxious around.


Keep good lookout, Molly" he said,
turning TO his wife, who was just behind
him, and who had come to the door to bid
her husband God speed on his journey
keep a good lookout; although the red
skins amt shown themselves yet, thar's no
knowing when to expect the varmints and
they might pop out on you fore yer knowed
anything bout it.'


Never fear, Daniel, :" returned his wife !;
"there is no danger. The Indians have
never been seen round here ; besides, we
have done nothing to anger them, and l
don't think they will interfere with us. But
look to yourself Daniel the trail through
the forest to the station is long ono, aad
yon know not what danger may surround
you"


Never fear for me, Molly" answered
the frontiersman '.while I have faithful
Sallie here, ,"--and he lovingly patted the
stock of his rifle" twill be dangerous
work for any redskin to come within shoot
ing distance of me so never fear, but keep
I'D good heart-I shall be back before

And he pressed kiss upon the lips of the
buxom dame.


Just at this moment the burly form of
Lame Jake, the negro, made his appearance
round the corner Of the cabin, returning to
his breakfast from his early labors in the
fields. For moment he gazed upon the
pleasant scene, bis eyes glistening with de-
light and mirth ; then he broke out:
