Summer Dying.On Hie scarlet mountains yonder,Hummer lies down tn «lie ;

She gnthers her robes of splendorAround her royally.

lier tender, purpling mossesPillow her royal head ;

lier myriad, gentle grassesAre weeping about her bcd.

It foiled, thc precious promiseOt her beauty's golden reign ;

ll came, thc loss, the longing,The silence ami lite pain;

.She was cruel in her splendor,She mocked us in its reign-

She held her careless carnivalAbove our idol slain.

'Tis aol thc hnnd thal crowns us,Thc hand held out to bless-

'Tis he hand I hat robs and wrongs us,Thal we oftenest caress.

Billi, O, beguiling Summer,We o'er thy beauly lean ;

Thou ilidsl rob tis. yet we love Ibee-Discrowned, we hail thee queen.

All passionate fervor fildvd*With eyes nt last sereu«».

Turned towards thy conqueror. Autumn,Thou arl "lying, 0, our queen !All Hint thou gayest lo us, *

In thy morning's gracious glow,All thou hast taken from us,Only our (led can know.

Outrages in North Ctrolina.A correspondent writes to tho " Haleigh

»Sentinel" from Franklin, Macon County, N,0., September 23, as follows :

His Honor Judge Shipp held court inCherokee last week. Hut few decisions ofimportance were made. Thc curt had itsdélibérations very much disturbed, on Mon¬day, by thc return of some noted individualsfrom Tennessee, by thc name of Morrow, wellarmed. They made nu attack on a man bytho name »if Tatham, fired a pistol at him'while on his h orso in thc net of leaving forhome., thc ball missing him mid taking cll'cctin tho neck of his horse. Tatham, who, itseems, had been apprehensive of un attack,was also uruicd o,nd returned tho (ire, killinginstantly one of the Morrows, mid rode off.-Thc other Morrow mounted u horse and pur¬sued him a snort distance, but not in thorange of gun-shot.

lie wheeled his horse, entne hack to whorehis brother was lying dead, ami deliberatelyfired on a lawyer by the naur! of Hoon, killinghim instil nt ly. ll o i ap po. ; to have beenunarmed, not having suspected any attack.-After killing Hoon, bc fired on a man by thename of Cooper, quite a peaceable and inoffen¬sive man not, engaged in thc affray, indictingon him two severe wounds, from which his re¬covery is d seined doubtful, nnd .Morrow thenmade his escape in the direction of Tennessee,where he resides. These outrages by menfrom Tennessee, neting under the advice ofGov. Urownlow, who published thc opinionthat it was right to kill the. rehs whereverfound, and that bc would purdon the oßhnce,nro becoming too frequent to be continuel]much longer without producing a border war¬fare much to bc deplored.A man by the nunc of Cline, residing in

t'ne lower part of Jackson County, was allotdown in cold blood, ti short time since, by aband of marauders from Tennessee, known asthe Robert 1Îurjhfield robbert). Four of themcarno to the house of Cline, a little while beforedark, called him out, and pretended that theywanted a candió to count out their money.-As soou as the candle came, without saying aword, two of thom shot him-thc balls takingeffect near his heart, causing instant death.Ile leaves a wife and a large number of smallchildren to mourn his loss. Thc murdererswere enabled to make their escape to thc do¬minions of dov. Hrownlow.

Another portion, including thc notable Hobburchfield himself, about thc samo time, pen¬etrated into thc lower portion of CherokcoCounty, went to the houso of a Mrs. Gunter,fired upon her two sons, wounding one of them8criously. The}', too, mudo their escapo totho same rendezvous.

Will these murderers of our peaceable citi¬zens along thc border, as in tho days of yore,bo surrendered and turned ovor to the civilauthority for trial nnd punishment?THE grading of tho Charleston city rnilwny

HALMOH, Sept. 17, 180i>.Mu. RICHARD Suer..-Dear Sir : I have

received yours, asking my "opinion, in n fewwords, whether private debts can he repudia¬ted or not V

I am greatly surprised that it is deemednecessary to ask this question, after a nationalexistence of eighty years under the Constitu¬tion of the United States, one clause of whichdeclares that " no State shall pass any law im¬pairing the obligation of contracts.

Now, every man is bound to support thatConstitution, aud every sentence of it. Andevery person who may become an officer of theState or mcminn of tho Legislature is com¬pelled, ns a necessary qualification before ta¬king his seat, to swear that he will supportsaid Constitution j which bc cannot do, andwill not do, if he shall pass, or try to pass,any law impairing the obligation of contracts.ICvcry law which annuls a contract or repudi¬ates it, impairs tho obligation of a contract,and is, thorofore, unconstitutional and void.Every man who votes for it commits a perjuryand lifts his hand against tho majesty andhonor of his country.

Surely, sir, no man in our country would,if he could, so dishonor himself or his State,as to invite all men to break their faith eachwith the. other, and allix a stigma on the nameof North Carolina, which no time may efface.God forbid that my eyes should ever Colloidthis disgrace upon thc " Old North State."Such a condition would place her lower thanany people of whom wc have any account.

I have answered your question, and gonesomewhat beyond, but my surprise has beenthe cause. 1 nm, respectfully, yours,

B. F. MOOTIK.P. S.-The coulta of tho United States,and of every State, have declared such legis¬lation void.

Jefferson Davis.Wo have published the accounts of manyintorviovs with ex-President^, Davis, but the

following, from George D. prentice, editorof tho M Louisville Journal,Sjg#hioh he pdb-lishes in his paper, of the 5j^}psr., will befound highly interesting, jusjf.ht this time:

In the course of un «uter\M^^^|¿í^^ádgwith Jeff. Davis, in JanuarggflKfy;: thc sub-of the (.erins of peace was ifóroduocd. Mr.Davis »shed us what was thé*phicf¡ objectionof thc North to the recogùKpp of Southernindependence. Wo amswcrSfthnt thc Northknew perfectly well, as uuqjStionahly he did,that if she would lay down »pr arms and con¬sent to a division of tho Utmn into two con¬federacies, she herself woulçHcry soon be dis-solv J; that State after StgBp--States sirgly,,aiid States combincdly-wogn'secedc. and thewhole North be split up insKfjetty powers, orno powers, all of them cqlsjmiptiblc in theeyes of mankind, and not Cußratf them willingor able to contribute to trfldjffipnyment of thenational debt. Mr. DaviaJBRplied, with hisel oracterislic calmness, tKWffiiis was certain¬ly true, but that the sainfflBftng would hap¬pen, and probably happen ¿OMnOsooner, if tb,oNorth should continue to "T-VOROiMite thc war.We thought, ni tho time.'T-^t Mr. Davis wasgreatly mistaken, and toltt^ht!!) so. Wc stilltrir-t that we were correct.Jil our estimate ofthe character of his opinión; but josi now weeau i minkie no over eonlidi&Oé that wc were.The North continued to.¿prosecute the war,and the South, alter thCY« bravest nod mostdesp< rate resistance k-oowi' tn war's annals,wt s eom|uercd. Put nfflBBmes thc North'strials. Now we are to seethe test of her in¬ternal strength. If, out of the dreadful warbet ween the North and thç.'South, a Northerncivil war arises; if Northeim armies mardiagainst each other, vengeance before them,and blood and death nn<JicVjS's'ert behind, manyNorthern States will vory'soón weary and sick¬en of thc horrid work, f.t.ui'-'.riU.probahly ad .ptsecession, as the su rQjWlgV't ''<(tdukest remedyfully relying utxtn tmWp^L^htv troubles andperils of thc Fedora! tiON-eVutiienl as ii perfectsecurity against coercion. Most, likely thcNorth-western States will go off first, repudinting, of course, their proportion of thrpublic debt, and thus piling higher tlxmonstrous financial burden upon the sholl!ders of the remaining States. These wilhave neither thc will nor tho ability tcbea" up undo! the crushing weight, and stothers will secede, and then others, till thcwhole North shall be divided up into suclpoor, little, non-debt paying, feeble mocknationalities, us a citizen of one of thc MexioatStates, or of thc South American Republies, pr of one bf thc petty, miserable Germau principalities, might look upon with con

tempt and scorn. Jeff. Davis' declaration tius ns to thc consequences of thc war to tinNorth, if prosecuted, will bo nmply vindicated, and whatever resentments, if any lrcherishes against thc North, will bc nbundnntly satisfied. We tell tho Northern fanatics-as a lover of our whole country, wc solcundy tell them-that, unless madness haseized upon their hearts and brains, they wilmit insist on pushing the dissensions bet weethe President and Congress to tho lightinpoint. They may rest assured that if thlight comes, it will be to them such an one nthey have no account of in either history ctradition.

[From thc Morion Crescent.]Tea-

In addition to the culture of clover and oth¬er grasses, in thc North and Wost, we havetho prospect of having another plant «f uni¬versal use, brought into successful cultivationon thc light lands of thc South. An articleon tho oultivalion of tea in Georgi«, hy Mr.\V. Jones, of Liberty county, On., una pup-lishcd in the "Southern Cultivator," is worthmoro to tlx suffering South than all thespeeches of politicians. Augustus Ciesar paidVirgil a sum which made him rich, besidesrendering him the benefits of his imperialpatronage for writing his Georgies, in order tostimulate the Romans to cultivate thc soil.-Ile did great service to bis country by this ef¬fort, and acquired immortal fume j but Mr.Jones will bc thc nut) r of a grouter good tuour beloved South, if bc can induce our far¬mers to employ thc wide extent of our lightand most useless lands in supplying a whole¬some beverage to our people, by which theywill not only save their money, but increasetheir incomes to a degree which will in a fewyears compensate them for all their misfor¬tunes. He proves that four hundred poundsof tea can be raised on an nero of laud, which,,acc'/iding to his description, wc would not ex¬pect to produce len bushels of corn withoutmanure, lie snys, ** all thc lands of MiddleGeorgia and the Carolinas, which arc now con¬sidered of little value for corn or cotton, ranbc made available and grow tea to great ad¬vantage. All the hill sides that are so muchwashed ns not to produce grass enough to cov¬er the soil from view, can bc made to producehandsome returns to the planter." In thesoregions, where the land is worn out, thc cul¬tivation of colton will decrease. Thc neces¬sity of manuring to produce cotton will leavemuch land uncultivated, and this cnn bc plan¬ted in tea, which " requires but little fieldculture." Hut rend his article and bc con¬vinced, ns wc arc, that wc can make our usualcrops of corn and cotton and with but littleadditicnn.l labor, make a crop of tea, whichwould, by itself, make a farmer independent.The information contained in the Octobernumber of thc Cultivator is like n ruy ofhope from above, and demonstrates that woore about to emerge from thc gloom of ourpoverty and exhaustion, and become by achange in our agricultural and farming opera¬tions, a happy and prosperous people. " Inman's most dark extremity oft succor dawnsfrom Heaven."FREEDMEN'S ZOUAVE OUOANIZATION.-

Yesterday a number of freedman, who. hadformed themselves into a Zouave organiza¬tion, made their appearance on our streets infull Zouave uniform, red cap, blue jacket, redbrccchas, white legging and low quarter shoes.Thc oflicers wore Zouave shoulder straps aud.side arms.Thc combination of fancy colors presentedsuch a strong contrast ns to excite considera¬

ble curiosity and remark. It was generallybelieved, however, by thc uninitiated of ourcitizens that they belonged to some companyof United States colored soldiers rcccutly ar¬rived at this post.

After assembling about seventy in number,they marched to thc Citadel, where some oftheir colored female friends were in waitingto present them with a beautiful banner. Anofficer at headquarters had been requested toact as spokesman. On the arrival of the pro¬cession they were received by an officer withan order from General Scott for the arrest ofthose wearing shoulder straps and side-mas,in violation of General Orders of thc Pop:¡rt-ment, which prohibit military organizations ofany kind in this State.Thc officers of thc Association were then

escorted into the parade ground, where theywere deprived of all their illegal military in¬signia, and were allowed to retire wheu thoCompany was dismissed.
