LARGEST CITY CIRCULATION.
TO EDITORS AND PRINTERS.
I propone to sell a half interest in the SUN newspaper,
consisting of the type and fixtures on wnieh it is print
ed, with the right of using my Cylinder press for print
ing the paper together with the patronage, good will,
Ac. For this 1 ask $-,000 cash, a gentleman of quali
fication and experience as an editor, Would be preferred.
The paper has a good subscription uud a growing adver
tising patronage, both of which can be lurgely increased
by a little exertion.
i also propose to lease, to good practical printers, the
job department of my establishment. It is well pro
vided with evury variety of modern styles of type and
fixtures for facilitating work, and a Hoe medium Cylin
der Press and a 1100 Card Printing Machine. The Job
Department will give employment to two good printers
at remunerating prices.
if 1 sell the interest in the paper, the job oilice will
not lie leased. Or, if 1 lease the job office, the interest
in the paper will not be sold. My object in doing either,
is to relieve myself of a portion of the lubors of the es
tablishment. THOMAS Do WOLF.

Mr. Williamson Page, of this county, says
the Raleigh Standard, raised tho following
crops on one acre of land, viz: In September,
1855, ho sowed one busliol of wheat mixed
with turnip seed, from which he raised forty
five bushels of wheat and about 800 bushels

ments to work the Tehuantepec road to the
Pacific, and it is fully anticipated that this im
portant undertaking will bo completed in
a month or six weeks.
On Saturday last, a party of our citizens,

Undismayed.
Mrs. Harriot N. Prcwett, (the talented edi
tress of the American Banner, published at Ya
zoo City, Miss., and widow of a late editor,)
like every true American, is not in the least
dismayed by our recent overwhelming defeat.
In her paper of the 14th inst., she evinces the
true won’t-give-it-up spirit, and spreads her
Banner to the breeze with the names of Mil
lard Fillmore, of New York, and W. L. Shar
key, of Mississippi, for President and Vico
President.
Mrs. l’rewett, says:
We nail to the masthead our ticket for 1860
—Millard Fillmore, of New Y'ork, and W. L.
Sharkey, of Mississippi. We hang our “Ban
ner on the outer wall,” and thcrewe shall keep
it, and all true hearted Americans will at last
rally under its folds. Wo arc beaten but not
subdued We are driven driven back by num
bers, but still have right on our side We still
have patriotism and truth with us, and ulti
mately we must prevail—unless God intends
that the right and the just shall no longer pre
vail on earth. Mr. Fillmore comes out of the
fiery furnace in which ho has been tried, like
gold doubly refined, lie is now by far the
greatest man in the nation, and the purest pat
riot, and is so acknowledged even by his politi
cal foes. He is still in the full prime of life,
and can save the country yet. Let the fac
tionists havo the offices—let them enjoy their
brief hour of authority, but deep in the public
heart is a love for tli* l Union, which will rise
up and rebuke the demagogues in thunder
tones, when their full designs upon its perpet
uity are fully discovered. And then will the
people loarn the error they have committed
now in casting their votes against the great and
true statesman Millard Fillmore !
Eire on Sunday Nignt.
A fire occurred in this city on Suudny night
last, about 8 o’clock, in the Drug store and re
sidence of Dr. J. M. Hill. The house was of
brick, two stories high, on the south side of
Broad street, betweeu Kollock and (Humming.
The lower story was occupied as a Drug
store, and the upstairs as the residence of Dr.
Hill.
Tho origin of the fire is unknown, but sup
posed to have been caused by an incendiary
and burglar, who entered the house for plun
der, while the family wereat Church, and then
set fire to the building.
The walls of the building are left standing,
and the damage to it may be estimated at
SIOOO.
The contents of the Drug store were almost
entirely destroyed, but a portion of the furni
ture of the dwelling was saved.
There was an insurance $2500 on the build
ing, in the Great Western Insurance Company
and on the stock of drugs and family furniture

Saving Bacon.
The English never smoke their Bacon. They
say:
“On tlie trouble folks have taken.
To smoko and spoil their bacon.”
The Canadian Agriculturalist, taking the
same view, says that curing bacon is like the
Irishman’s mode of making punch. 110 said :
“Put in the sugar, then fill it up with whis
key, and overy drop of water you put in after
that spoils the punch.” Just so with curing
bacon ; after being properly salted, and pep
pered at the hock end, every drop of smoke
you put about it spoils the bacon.
Another mode of saving bacon has been
given by a correspondent of the N. E. Farm
er. He says he was entertained at. the house
of a friend, and at dinner he had reason to
compliment him on the excellent quality of his
bacon, and inquired to know its method of
preparing and preserving. To our surprise,
says he, we were informed that portion of
our meal was cooked eight mouths before.
He stated that it was his practice to slice and
fry his'baeon immediately on its being cured,
and then packed it down in its own fat. When
occasion came for using it, the slico slightly
refried, had all the freshness and flavor of
new bacon just prepared. In this way our
friend had always succeeded in “saving his ba
con ” fresh and sweet through the hottest
weather.
Cuba up Again.
The Washington Union says: “The goveru
ernmentof the United States has never inter
fered, and we feel assured will never interfere,
with the internal affairs of Mexico or Central
America, for any other purpose than that of
counteracting the intrigues and encroachments
of foreign powers, and fostering their new
born freedom. With respect to Cuba the case
is quite different; nor do wo think it will in
jure the reputation of Mr. Buchanan, or any
other American statesman, to be suspected of
a desire to emancipate that liue island from
colonial vassalage, and (if such is the wish of
its inhabitants) to admit it as a member of this
confederation. It is not fit that the key to the
Gulf of Mexico should bo in tho hands of an
enemy, or one who is the mere tool of our en
emies. The North and West, equally with the
South, are deeply interested in this question,
which seems to be sleeping now, but which,
we opine, will never die.”
A letter from Washington says:—As yet
the British government has indicated no pur
pose to fill Mr. Cramptou’s vacancy; and
though Mr. Luraley, the former Secretary, has
|a sort,of roviug commission as charge d’atlairs,
not to the United States, however, the Lega
tion is officially closed. It is given out in di
plomatic circles that anew Minister will be ap
pointed after tho inauguration of Mr. Buchan
an. Our diplomatic affairs have been very
well transacted without the aid of such a func
tionary, and it is quite unimportant, iu any as
pect, whether one be sent or not.
Malaga Grapes jn California.
The United States Patent Office lias recently
received some elegant specimens of “Malaga
Grapes” from California. They are large, full
and luscious, the fruits of the vine introduced
in that country a humlrod and fifty years ago.
It is the opiuion of those employed in tho agri
cultural department of that office, that our
country at large can be supplied with those
grapes from California, at a cheapor rate than
from Malaga or elsowhere out of tho United
States.

GENERAL ITEMS.
lu the paper brought by the steamship Eu
rope, it is stated that the British steam ship
Mugieieime had returned from a cruise to Se
bastopol. She found the city as the Allies
left it, with no signs of cleaning away the
ruins.
Tom Thumb’s mother was robbed, a few diys
since, at a Railroad station, of SBOO in bills,
and a check for S4OO. The check was return
ed by a marl’ who writes a very affectionate
letter. He says he returns it because he can
make no use of it.
General Walker manages to receive aid and
comfort, notwithstanding the recent develop
ments which have been made, or pretended to
be made, to his prejudice. About two hun
dred men, mostly from Tennessee and Missis
sippi, under command of Samuel Benton, Esq,,
left Memphis on Wednesday last, to join tho
army in Nicaragua.

Isaac, a colored man, about sixty-live years
old, the property of Mr. Thomas J. Davis, was
killed on Sunday night, 30th Noveral >or, about
oue mile below Hamburg, S. (J., on the rail
road track. The man was supposed to be
drunk, mid unconscious of the approach of the
cars.
lti cleaning out an old well on a rauche, re
cently occupied by a Captain Colebrook, on
the Calaveras road, between the Calaveras and
Stanislaus rivers, in California, portions of

search for the late occupant of the place.

James Webb, at Goliad.
A young lawyer who had paid his court
to a young lady without much advancing, ac

It appears from the official statements in
El Nicaraguense, Walker’s, newspaper organ,
that within the last fourteen months he'has
received from the United States a little over
4, iOO recruits. Os these 144 are reported as
having been killed in battle. Walker’s whole
force on the Ist of November, including the
last arrival of 825 men from New Orleans, un
der Col. Jacques, was, by the returns, only
1,275 men, leaving about 2,700 to be account

A proposition is belore the Legislature of
feoutli Carolina looking to the draining of
large tracts of land in the middle and lower
portions of that State. Millions of acres of
rich lands are now overflowed by water, or in
such condition to be comparatively valueless.
Mistaking a Gentleman’s Intentions.
’Twas evening! Two ladies walked togeth
er usually over a narrow sidewalk, and ever
ami anon cast timed glances behind, as if ap
prehending something unpleasant from that
direction. One whispered to tke other “let’s
call a policeman ! ’ This remark was heard
by a gentleman close at their heels, who po
litely volunteered his services to call one.—
“Impudent puppy ! ” said one of the ladies.
“Madam ! said tho gentleman, inquiring
ly-
“ You are following us,” responded the lady
addressed.
“Excuse me,” rejoined tho gentleman, ‘I
appreciate your error, and perceive the cause
of it; being somewhat in a hurry, I have has
tened my steps to pass you, but the narrow
ness of the sidewalk, and tho width of tho
prevailing fashion have combined to place me
at disadvantage iu your estimation.
The frankness and gentle bearing of the
stronger promptly dissipated an unfavorable
impression, and a colapse of two skirts like
twin figs in a drum, enabled the gentleman so
unjustly suspected to go on his way rejoicin’ 1 '.

A State Without Taxes.
The State of Texas is in a most enviable
condition in regard to her finances. She is
the envy of the country. lier Comptroller,
in a recent report, presents the following flat
tering picture of her condition ; “The State is
out oi debt, with a surplus ol over a milliou
of dollars in the Treasury—a permanent five
per cent school fund of ten millions of dollars
—an unappropriated public domain, estimated
at one hundred milliouf of acres, which, if ju
diciously used, would subserve all the purpos
es of internal improvements required by the
State, and a tax higher than is imposed on any
other people, and weich is adequate to all the
wants of the government. The aggregate
amount of taxable property is very nearly
$150,000,000, being an increase of $22,400,-
000 over the previous year. The present fi
nancial condition of the State is highly satis
factory, and calculated to inspire confidence in
its ability to carry out the grand schemes of
internal improvement to which the aid of the
State pledged, and which will enlmnco the val
ue of all she now possesses fourfold.

A Kentucky Judge.
They must have judges in Kentucky who
“ sa.V what they think,” and that too without
regards to elsgance of style, or good English.
Jtulgo Mittal, in his recent charge to the grand
jury of Bone couuty, lot himself off in relation
to the practice of carrying concealed weapons
in tho following manner :
“ Now, I think I am safe in saying that oue
man in twenty has a six shooter in his breech
es pocket, or a bowie knifo in his breast, and
if you aint careful you will come in contact
with some of these young gentry, these trav
eling arsenals, as l call them. They make it
a point to learn enough of law to throw you
in the wrong; you will then see them brace
themselves back against a wall, and when thev
think themselves safe in the eye of the law
they blaze away. 1 want you to get light af
ter these fellows.”

East Tennessee Bank.
The last intelligence from Knoxville, says
tho Nashville Union and American, of the 27th
Nov., is that the East Tennessee Bank contin
ued to redeem its issues as presented at its
counter there. The notes wero selling on the
streets in this city yesterday at GO cents per
dollar.
Later. —We conversed last evening with an
intelligent gentleman of this vicinity, who had
just returned from Knoxville. He informs us
that he had eight hundred dollars payable at
the Jonesboro’branch ; but that the bank at
Knoxville redeemed it in coin. The run had
nearly ceased, and the community at Knoxville
had unlimited chnfidence in thebank and were
determined to sustain it. On Saturday, when
the greatest run was made, the deposits were
larger than they had ever been during the
bank’s existence.
There is no doubt that the report of the fail
ure of the bank was false and malicious. We
hope Col. Churchwell will be able to sustain
the run which this false report occasioned, and
have much confidence that he will.
The Greatest Discovery of the Age.
It seldom occurs that wo notice, under any
circumstances, patent medicines, restoratives,
or any thing of the kind, for we have a preju
dice agaiust most of them. But candor com
pels us to invite attention to the advertisement
of Prof. Wood’s Hair Restorative. We are
too juvenile to require any thing of the kind,
but some instances of its use have come to our
knowledge which almost assure us that it is a
sovereign remedy against the hair becoming
prematurely gray. It is not a “liair Dye;”
but upon its application, as directed, the effect
is produced on the skin, which brings out the
original native colored hair, without stiffness,
and gives it a glossy and natural appearance.
We have seen persons who have used it, and
they are much pleased with it. Examine the
advertisement. —Missouri Republican.
The New England States are represented as
voting for the first time as a unit at the recent
election. The contrary (says the Baltimore
Sun) is tho fact. Every New England State
went against Mr. Jefferson in the contest of
1801; aud in that contest, says the New York
Express, the orthodox clergy (as they styled
themselves) were as active as iu the present
campaign. Air. Jefferson was opposed from
the pulpit,’ Sunday after Sunday, during the
whole canvass; was called an Infidel, au Athe
ist, a Jacobin, a dealer in human flesh, and
charged with being the father of his slaves.—
The business however, was overdone then as it
will be now. reaction commenced, and at the
election of 1805 every New England state ex
cept Connecticut went for Jefferson.
Popping tho Question made Easy.
Anew game for social gatherings has been
j invented, by which any gentleman in a social

j and learn whether the preference is mutual,
j and vice versa, without any other party at the
j table being let into the secret. Even the lady
| or gentleman for whom preference is expressed
| does not know who lias singled her or him out
unless the preference is mutual. It is certain
ly nn ingenious game, and will commend itself
at once to bashful swains.
Death of an Old Mason.
