loio'vcnt Can's. —The conviction of two
persons for perjury, in making false re
turns for the benefit of the insolvent law,
and the very serious results of the con
viction to llie parties themselves, will no
tloaht create alarm, and lead to a full
and unconditional surrender of every
hind of property on the part of the appli
cant; but wo apprehend that the result
will nut finally beneiit creditors—because
the applications for the benefit of the in
oblveat laws will be loss numerous a
mong that class who have something to
nuke over. Thus a debtor will cat up
hit, substance on the limits in preference
making over the last farthing for the
benefit of creditors, or subjecting himself
to (ho penalties of a false return. JSo
loose are the operations of these laws,
that we hold to the opinion, that creditors
.--hould always agree to a compromise,
nnd take the best otfc .and giv? arc
h- c.-e.—,V. I'. Courier 4* Unqulrer,
From ihc Norlh-Carqllna Journal.
The editor oftiie Winyaw Intelligen
cer. of the 83d hist, in giving a sketch of
the state of public opinion of the South,
Ntys, in relation to North Carolina “En
durance of usurped authority is no part
of their character, and wo have said be-
Jhiv, and now repeat, that if the hand of
violence vver* laid upon us, no calcula
tion of consequences would delay, for a
moment, the efficient aid of Ihc hardy and
"mb spirited yeomanry of our sister Car
olina.".
The citizens of North Carolina fpener
,'u- "tv the advocates of Free Trade,
State Rights, a strict reading of the Con
stitution; am! arc opposed to the Restric
tive System. Consolidation has lew friends,
"ml still fewer advocates here. They
” r< ‘ plain Republicans—attached to their
‘■overninent, and to their Constitution, as
understood in its pristine simplicity.—
•hey look upon the Tariff’ of 1821 and
as inexpedient, oppressive, unequal,
‘•njutit and unconstitutional. This opin
they have avowed repeatedly, mid to
thmopiiiion they adhere. The agitations
0 ■ South Carolina have been witnessed
'''•h much sympathy, and have been
JVarded with no little interest. Into the
miugs of Mouth Carolina, this Btalc has
l'nrmly entered, and she hits anxiously
\vl*i )r n devclopoment of her plans.
hue the friends ol* the Tariff’ System
pron «!y dosed their care against the ur-
luj little.
gumc.its, the remonstmnees, and h> '
complaints of the South, and manife*
a determination to rivet the rcstri
, ystem upon us, ns the settled unalr ■-
i policy of the country, North * . . -
•a felt the lire of ’76 rekindling i»V er
v as, and the question was ofti'n u v 1,
vv. re is the difference between tli,
I pre<» ; on of the British Governai. , n
; 1776 nd that ofthc United States 1' .
~iriut wlien manifest ions were m ol- f a
)<' S*tinl, and ultimately, n radical cl .ge
b. e restrictive policy; when tiie i <?al
of the Salt, Coffee and Ten duties e
assurance of a further repeal of otlu du
tiel:—when in short, it became manliest,
that the good sense of the country would
ultimate’ prevail over the ciipid ly
•* lrt»* that Co s.
iH policy would be l'iv»ken up, and settle
into a system of revenue only, the love of
peace, of harmony, of union and of affec
tionate connexion, overcame every other
' consideration. It was then, that North
Carolina wished Ivor sister State to mod
erate her A clings—to postpone nil fur
ther action, and to await, in patience,
the issue of events. South Carolina
wishes only equal and just laws: those,
she will have in a short time, by
the returning good sense of the nation;
and we anticipate the time when a modi
fication of the Tariff’ laws will leave no
State any room for complaining on that
ground.
But if any steps, which South Carolina
may lawfully take, shall involve her in a
controversy with the General Govern
ment, and “it blow shovhl be tiruck,’’ she
may rest assured that the Mow will he
flSt by North Carolina ns though inflicted
on herself. It will unite all hearts, mid
nerve every arm. A common bond unites
the Southern States: the late of one must
be the fate of all.
But wc are anticipating a state ofthings,
which, wo hope and believe, will never
happen. The citizens ofSouth Carolina,
true to their principles, will abandon no
ground which they have taken : but, wise
and patriotic, they will assume no new
position, but wait, and sea ihc events of
next Congress.
If we mistake not, our views on this
point, will bo found to coincide with the
opinions of the most distinguished mem
bers of the Southern delegation, in the
last Congress.
The Dublin Evening Pest, in speaking
of our proposed expedients for disposing
of the surplus revenue of the U. States,
when the public debt shall have been paid
off’, says, “liOt the Americans forthwith
[ create an Aristocracy, and people their
extended realms with Lord Charleses
i and Lord Johns. Let there he a Church
UGim.iuiiNui <ne with Uu» t
I wants and wishes of the great pcopla —
Let there be a civil list nS long us to-day >
and to-morrow, and a dashing army with
pig-tails and without—and we promise 1
them they will find ample employment
for their superfluous cash. Besides, they
will then have, what Captain Basil Hull
says they need so much, gentlemen and
ladies, people who can live on their means,
and spend the public money like Euro
pean princes."

FIRE-PROOF
HOUSE COVERING.
WE HAVE hereby appointed and em
powered Mr. PHILIP CRUMP, of the
City of Augusta, Geo., to cover Houses
with Tin Plate Sheeting or Zinc, on Mr.
Richard S. Tildon’s Patent plan of Cov
ering, which for its decided advantages
over all other methods of Fire-Proof Co v
at-iofr. denrm miblic oalronage. Dp
ibis plan, the builder saves very consid
erably in liis roof, in the strength of Tim
bers, and Framing; Slate requiring strong
timbers, well framed, in order to bear
their weight. In a Tin cover, there is
comparatively no weight, consequently,
half the strength of timbers and framing
is all sufficient.
Tins plan is also particularly adapted
to old Houses. On those, nothing more
is required, than to lake off’ the old shin
gles, knock down the nails, and put on
the Tin; the method of putting on the
Tin being so perfect, that whatever may
bo tho state of Sheeting, in reason, a
perfectly water, ns well as flrfc-proofroof,
is readily secured, that will, according to
the best information on the subject, last
one hundred years. Another very de
cided advantage of (his method of cover
ing, is, it is not at all subject to any kind
of dainnge whatever, lor while it lays on
smooth and close, forming the hand
somest roof in use, it would require the
strength of a man, to pull one sheet from
its position. As to the use of Tin in
covering houses, it is well known, and
much used in many pinks ol’ the world,
and believed to be preferable to any other,
except copper. It has however fallen into
disuse in some parts oftlio United Bta(e».
wholly on account ol’the manner of its be
ing put on; Bix and Eight nails being
driven through every sheet, or m some
cases soldered, either ol which is certain
to give way, sooner or later. On the pre
sent plan, no nail is driven through the
Tin; the Tin being locked together, and
attached to the roof in such away, its to
rpnder it impossible to cluing© its position
or leak one drop. The public may place
tho most implicit confidence, ia the. mode
of putting it on; and as to its durability, wc
could produce tho best of testimony, tiiat
Houses are now covered with Tin, that
has been on for ninety-live years, and is
yet good. And at the same time that it
has very decided advantages over every
other kind ofcovering except copper, it is
nevertheless the cheapest Fire-Proofcov
ering now in use. We have left certificates
in the hands of Mr. Philip frump, of as
respectable gentlemen os any in Virginia,
setting forth the advantages of the plan.
Wc have also empowered Mr. Crump to
dispose of Patent rights tor covering, in
any part of Georgia or Alabama. He also
will give every necessary instruction.—
We would also add, that such is the sim
plicity ami perfection of the plan, that any
sort of workman can puton the Tin.

i ten dollars, iu appropriate and well ••-
■ looted hooks, to the best Latin Scholar,
< and another to the host Greek Scholar,
■ who shall enter the Freshman Class next
Aifgust, for a regular course. The n.ts**!" s
- ofthe young gentlemen thus distinguish
i ed, & ofthe Teachers by tvhor.i they were
1 educated, will also be made public, that a
- laudable emulation mf.y be excited,
■ and the standard ot* Literature raised
I throughout the Sthto.
The Latiu prize, however, will not
> be given to any who shall not manifest,
’ on examination, a thorough knowledge
• of nt least, Jacob’s Latin Reader, both
I vols. Cm war’s Commentaries, all the wars
1 in Gaul, Gould’s Ovid, the whole of
Virgil, Cicero’s select Orations, and the
Cntaline and Jurguthinc Wars of Sal
• lust.
1 The Greek prize will not he given for
p less than a correct knowledge of Delco
> tas, a valuable work for beginners, John
1 and Acts, Jacob’s Greek Reader, and
- Grreca minora.
f A prize will also be given for the
- best knowledge of Arithmetic, and Day’s
i Algebra, as fur as the end of simple
- equation.
It has been n source of regret to the
y Faculty, and n drawback on the Litern-
I funs of the College and the State, that
r Students have generally been entered
- so badly prepared. To remedy this In
part by un honorable competition, is the
- design of the above mentioned prizes.—-
s These prizes are intended to be penna
i nent; and many who may not be able to
i compete for them next August, will, it is
• hoped, qualify themselves for deserving
i and obtaining them some succeeding
i year.
I 'ITle books, a knowledge of which iff
I at present requisite for admission, are
• Ccesar, Virgil, and Cicero’s select Ora-
I tions, in Latin; in Greek, John and Acts,
: & Greeea Minora, together with English
1 Grammar and Arithmetic. It is hoped,
1‘ that those who intend entering in lliture,
will come thoroughly prepared on the
very moderate requisitions of the law,
‘ favorable to the interests
• of Literature, are requested to give the
' above an insertion in their papers.
' By order of the Faculty.
