North Carolina is‘‘redeemed, regenerated and disenlhrawllcd” —she too has joined in the loud chorus of triumph and joy, which commenced in Maine, and has been reverberated from almost every State in the Union. Nobly has she spurn ed executive dictation, and rejected with scorn the active and corrupting influences of sub treas ury hierlings. From this tbc Loco F ocos throughout the Union may learn their approach ing fate. Make way then for her, and let it be proclaimed loud and long, Irom one end ot tbc Union to the other, that North Carolina has elected a Whig Governor! a Whig Senate ! ! and a Whig House of Commons !!! There are sixty five counties in the Slate, all of which have been heard from, says the Raleigh Star, except three. In the last Legislature, these three counties were represented by Administra tion men.

COMMUNICATED. First Animal Report ol the Augusta Uc iievoleut Society. Organized for the express purpose to ailbrd relict to the suffering and distressed among us it is a question divested neither of interest nor importance, to each member of the society, to ascertain, what good it is afi'ecling in our com munity 1 How have its operations been cin ducted t How far have the objects lor which it was originally intended been fulfilled 1 How have its officers discharged their duties 7 It affords us no ordinary pleasure, to stale, that during the year just closed, (August 17, 1858,) forty-six individuals and ihirlyAwe families have been relieved by the charities of the Augusta Benevolent Society—nor have its operations been limited to giving succour to these seventy eight cases, in a pecuniary way. The fil n <ln of tiio society have not only contributed to procure the necessaries ol life, but the sick-poor have been regularly visited by its members, and tlicjir personal services liberally bestowed upon tho distressed. Not only lias the cup of kindness been freely offered to the distressed, but it. has been carried to their bedsides by those ready at all limes, and at every sacrifice, to give llieir personal attention. Your committee arc also happy to find by the minutes of the society, that at not a meeting was one of the officers absent— the President, Secretary and Treasurer, were in variably punctual, and ever prompt in tho dis charge of their duties. The Augusta Benevolent Society consists of less than one hundred members, of whom seventy five are males and about twenty are females, who have agreed to pay annually a sum equal to about six hundred dollars, being about fifiy-fivo dollars less than tho amount expended last year. This deficiency in receipts is however more than made up by donations—in fact tiro amount of donations during' tire year just closed, even ex ceeded that received by subscription, arid lias left in the treasury an unappropriated balance of one thousand and seventy-eight dollars thirty.seven cents, which with one hundred and ninety dollars of unpaid subscriptions, makes a balance of neat twelve hundred dollars, ft will thus bo seen that lire society is not so much in need of funds to relieve the sick p >or, as of members (partial, larly females) who are willing :o go out and dis tribute its means to lire distressed in our com munity. This duty is cnorous to those lew members of the society who remain in town during the summer, the season of grea esl labor, and though they have not complained, others, it not all, ought to share in it, as it lias been neccs sary to appoint frequently the same persons upon visiting committees. We think this sul jeet needs only to bo properly presented to our citizens, to have tire number of our laboring members much increased We fee! persuaded that instead of some twenty or thirty members, the number now actually engaged in dispensing the charities ot a benevolent association nr Au gusta, there are hundreds in our community who , would esteem it not only a duly but a privilege And who would not visit the sick 7 Who would not clothe the naked 7 Who would not feed the poor 7 Who does not sympathize with the aliiictcd 7 Who would not relieve the distressed? Who would not solace tire bereaved 7 Who 1 would not relieve the widow and tho orphan 1 i Blessed is lie that considered] the poor, the Lord , will deliver him iu lime ol trouble, r Your Committee would, in conclusion, olfer to 4 the Society tiro following resolutions ; 1. Jtcsolved, That in view of the actual con. dilion of the Augusta Benevolent Society, more especially of the prosperous state of its ticasury, we have abundant causes to ho grateful to Almigh . ty God ; and while with contrition we confess e that all lias not been done fur the relief el the sick-poor among us, still we are thankful at being made the humble instruments ol doing some e good. e 2.

'I his subject has, at last, been regular ly brought before the Hoard of Health, and they have done their duly by giving publicity to the fact, that tho Stranger’s Fever is now prevalent, and has been su lor some time. That they should have, as yet, hut little data to enable them to give proper information us the true slate of our health, does not at all suprise us; hut now that they know that tho enemy is upon ns, it becomes them to collect and publish nil /rrc/v connected therewith. Let their reports be received and read by the public, with a confidence in their correctness. Let our friends, abroad, he assured the matter is not worse than is there set forth. Leave no lurking, soul-destroying dread in the mind of iho absentee, that Death is ma king more rapid havoc, than he had ever before been per milted. Tho mind of man is prone to make the last evil appear the worse, and, there fore, for the moment, gloomy redactions may re - main ascendant, but they should he schooled into their proper sphere, and never be allowed to pro ponderate, where activity and exertion are requi red. ’Dint many of tho cases that have occurred have been of a virulent character, and fatal in their termination is the fact, ami such has usually been the case, when iho disease lias prevailed. Resides which, the weather has been peculiarly unfavorable for a number of days past, continual soaking rains, with an occasionally peering forth of (he sickly-looking sun, just to open the pores of the earth, and allow the vapors to rise, only again to he over-clouded and avalanches of r ain to he poured again upon the earth. We distinctly ex| ress (he opinion tlint all who are only temporary lesidents of the oily, and who have the means of going away lor a season, should do so without any delay—and have no doubt that the destitute portion of our population who may he subject to die disease,.will be fur nished wilh the means of leaving by the proper authorities. To such as intend making Charles* ton their home, and the heme us their families, wo say never leave the soil from which you tie. rive your nurture and support, because her natu ral enemy makes hut a show us attack. As sunn should a leader of an army, or a soldier in the ranks, who had been boasting ufbis valor, shrink and lly from tire approach ol a foe. Let such in dividuals manfully meet the crisis, trust to J’mvi dencc, tho skill of their physicians, and the kind, ness of their friend-, and they will, probably, in a few short weeks, be equally prepared with the natives, to aid the sick, and the strangei’s in their turn. For our own people wc have not a word to say. They know their duly. It is not new to them. We have physicians us skilful, perhaps, as any on the habitable globe ; and the hearts of our citizens are as philanthropic as ever boat in the breasts of men. The sound of distress or pain needs but to lie heard to rally hordes of friends to the bed-side of llic sick stranger, and every consolation that can he afforded to the sufferer will be poured out wilh a boniticcncc ami a ful ness that cart only he realized by those who have experienced it. Wc arc not, therefore, at all disheartened—all that is to ho done is, to meet the disease at the threshold, look, tho gloomy monster full in the eye, grapple wilh him, anil through the sustain ing support of a merciful and bcneficicnt Creator, he must and will he, in a short lime, conquered. Hrop fora few weeks the idea of rutin: attention ' to business, and neglect mine that arc, sick ; and it will iic hut as a moment,‘when we shall find ourselves again among happy, contented and j prosperous faces, again immersed in tho cease le.-s cares and business of life.

His intellectual vigor did not even v then tail him, as his manuscripts show, many ol v them giving evidence of uncommon originality 1 and acuteness of llomglil.

Delay may give us the benefit of a scheme, constitutional ; equal and beneficial to the rutin tty and the Government. We are not to he cen sured lor asking this delay ; lor it the litiion par ly, alter fifty years of close thought, have hut within twelve months past, discovered the true principles of the constitution ; ought wo not to ho allowed twelve months to examine, if they un tight, before we are forced into the adoption of their schemes, we are urged to adopt without re llection ; hut the Union parly ought to recollect, that four years ago, out of all their members in Congress, theto was hut one in favor of tho Sub- Treasury scheme, ami he was at once damned by the faithful, us a recreant and traitor. The offi cial paper at Washington, the “Globe,” denounc ed the schemes us ruinous ; as designed to nmkq the President a King ; to build up an aristocracy ; as increasing Executive patronage. We recollect these things gentleman, and you cannot make the friends of the Constitution believe that you were not lying, either then, or now ! Pray tell us which 1 Wo object lo Ihri Sub-Treasury scheme, be cause it is unequal unjust, and .-elfish ; in making one emreney for the 'Government, and a differ enl currency lor the people; providing a curreti. cy of gold and silver for those who are so fortu nate as to he connected with the Government, and which is always worth a premium, mid providing it currency ofdcpreciatod paper lor tho people; who are not conuccled with its operations. We are told in reply |o this objection, that tho people have the right to require gold and silver in •ho payment of their debts; this is tine, hut they ean never succeed in currying out the system ; lor when attempted, it prostrates every interest. Look how it Would work. A owes U, li de mands the specie, A draws upon the flanks; so far as their specinfurls, they pay tip: hut finding the policy of every one, is In take their specie from them, and lo stop the circulation of then hills. In self defence they require the payment es debts due them, to be made m specie likewise— Now what is the result'! Tho people owe the Thinks twice what the Hanks owe them for tin ir hills ; one half of their debt is extinguished by their own hills; how is the other half to ho paid ! It must ho paid in specie ; where is it lo come from ! The flanks yet have all they stalled with, and one half the debt of the people lo them is unpaid ! There is not a sullieiency in circulation lo pay them ; hut admit there was, where is the specie to come from, to pay the debts the people owe each other ! It. must be bought from the stockholders in the Ranks, who will close up tho Hanks, and com mence buying property—not in the character of Hankers, hut as citizens; or lending it out. at a rate of inteiosl, as great as they please to charge. In bringing about all this, properly must he de predated immensely. A negro man w..nli one. thousand dollars, would not then command two bundled dollars, and nil other property would de crease proportionally. 1 hesu tacts show that it is impossible for ns, as a people, ever lo ret uni lo a specie currency, it it Was UChUqWo lo iVin.n win, pool .w Iv , tout have a right as a favored 4 few, from tho Mluto, lo lend at what “ per centum may lie agreed upon," it would he a golden harvest, hut no olh eis. Then it is a false assumption, win n we declare that the people can require gold ami silver payment .of their debts. Hy lores of circumstan ces, the establishment of u paper curioncy by the Government, it is impossible for them to tin so. Now, will) am those, who by force of these circumstances arc compelled lo take hank lulls in payment of their debts, and in exchange of their produce I They are the farmers, merchants, daily laborers, mechanics, and all citizens, who do not derive a support from the Government. Suppose one ot these desires-to visit a distant Stale ; he must sell his bank-bills at a loss of from three to ten per cent fur specie, in order that he may have a currency that wt.l pay Ins expenses. Who are those that are lo receive the gold am! silver currency, under the Sub Treasury scheme' They arc the I’residont Us Hie United Status, his SeereluricH and a bust of odice, holders, who bo in llie, shade all day, and whether lire slot-ins, in tlio drought destroys our crops, in civcs still ihe. same pay; members of Congress mid all men who gel their living hy working, or pretending to vvoik lor the Goiernntenl ; and they are lime who receive a currency, which is worth inoie than 1011 cents to the dollar, and who sell their money lo Ihe tunnel, who wishes to iravel a dis tance,at nn advance of from three to ten percent. It we cannot have an entire specie currency for all the people, why should we give It to a pur.' why prefer one man Urunolhei I Hut ii is said, hy way of sympathy, that the Government ought never lo he placed in a situation to he i-inhai ra-s -ed, Ily receiving hank hills, which are not at p-n ' What does the Oovcrlnnenl want - with money hut to pay its debts, and who does it. owe, hut those who are i-s olliee-holdeis! Why then should not they he compelled to receive swell mo ney in payment for their labor, as the farmer re ceives lor his labor! Why make ‘fish of one cit izen,and flush of another I’ Is this equal 3 is it. rigid ; I pul the question to Much Eights men and Union men both; do you believe it right ' We object lo it, because wu do not believe it right. __ TKIO.
