A NEW STAT LAW.-A gentleman who arrived yesterday from Pitt County, reports that tho sheriff of that county was assaulted by a party of armed men, a few miles from the town of Green? ville, a day or two since, and several executions . and papers then in his possession, returnable at the Spring Term of the County Court, were seized and destroyed. The pari;c_ then proceeded to - Greenville, and entering the Clerk's omeo enacted the same scene, seizing and destroying all the papers in that officer's possession, returnable at the Spring Term of the County Court A feeling of intense excitement prevails through? out Pitt and the adjoining Counties in consequence of this event, and strenuous efforts are being made to discover some clue which will lead to the recognition of the parties perpetrating the out? rage. .Their efforts are attended, however, with considerable difficulty, the Sheriff being unable to recognize any one of "tue party, 80 thoroughly were they disguised. This act establishes for Pitt County quite an effective stay law, which will be felt for some time to come.- mbnington Journal. TRAVELLING OYSTER BED.-We were permitted to examine a curiosity in natura of a most amus? ing character at A. Near's confectionery store yes? terday. It was no less than three large sized live oyst-rs, firmly attached to the shell cf a common ** mer turtle. . The bivalves are very securely embedded on the turtle's - back, and doubtless have been enjoying free transportation for many a day. [Sewoern Journal of Commerce. Me erse lia um-\Vh.at it is-Where it is Got and now it is ?liinu?actimd. '. The mineral meerschaum is well known to be a hydrated silicato of magnesia, with two equiva? lents of water. The variety most valued in com? pact, susceptible of being wrought and receiving a , beautiful polish. It is almost exclusively employ? ed for making tobacco pipes and segar holders. A strange announcement has been put forth that it may be substituted for the subnitrate of bismuth in cholera tic diseases. Deposits of meerschaum are very rare, which accounts for its high price. Some veins, however, are found in the Paris basin, at Chenevieres, in the environs of Madrid, but these are, of little value compared with the articles from Asia Minor, being too soft and fragile. The mining of meerschaum is carried on largely at Kiltchik, in Anatolia; the kind found there al? though soft and greasy to the touch, when fresh, becomes hard ana white in the fire. . Soma obscurity exists still as to the mode of pre? paring the crude meerschaum, nevertheless it is known that the pipes made in Anatolia are mould? ed. The crude earth is kneaded '-nd pressed into molds, the article being then dnci in the sun and hardened in the fire. It ia then boiled in milk, dried anew and polished. The pipes thus molded - oh the spot are, however, little ia demand-those wrought in Germany or Belgium being much more esteemed. The meerschaum which is to be ex? ported i? prepared in Korrie, molded into blocks, dried and slightly baked. After cutting ont, the manufacturera are in the habit of submitting the pipes to a preparation of wax, spermaceti or para ?ne. The chips are powdered, formed into a paste with water, dried and hardened in the fire. The pipes made from, this waste material are, however, of an inferior quality, the first baking to which the material was originally submitted haviug pro? duced slight frittage, which renders subsequent cohesion difficult to produce. - Tho manufacture of meerschaum artificially has been the object cf many researches. The follow? ing method gives very good results when operated San intelligent and skillful chemist. It is found simply upon the double decomposition of solu? ble alkaline silicates by sulphate of magnesia. One pound avoirdupois of sulphate of magnesia is dissolved in about a quart of water. Two quarts of Solution of soluble silicate of density 125 is poured into this, both liquids being at about 170 degrees Fahr. The product is a gelatinous pre? cipitate, which is long washed, first with boiling, then with cold water; until all alkaline sulphate is removed: then poured into ?stone or zinc trough and dried at a temperature of not over 1000 Fahr. The mass thus produced is compact, friable and very similar to the natural meerschaum, and is susceptible of being manipulated and manufac? tured in the saifle way as the latter. For some years M. Wagner bas obtained good results by a different method. He incorporates with one part of casino, six parts of calcinated magnesia, and one SLT t of ozyd of zinc. Upon drying this mixture, ere results a material of lustrous whiteness, very hard, susceptible of being cut and polished, and which perfectly simulates the natural meer? schaum, WHAT THE SOUTHERN RADS SAY OF MILITARY GOVERNMENT.-The Southern Repubbcan Associa? tion, at its mooting here last night, did not show much favor for the new congressional military plan for governing the South. In speeches made, Senator Fowler, of Tennessee, expressed his dis? approbation; . Colonel Ross, of Missouri, did not think it right to put the people of the South under military despotism; and General Jack Hamilton, of Texas, said the bill was a ounningly-devised soheme, a pretence to do something by a Congress which had failed to meet its pledges, and looked to purchasing the fidelity of military officers, which was not worth the price, some being tyrants by nature, and others by circumstances. Others i however, as Mr. Griffin, of Mobile, Ala., Judg( Halstead, of Louisiana, Judge Sherwood, ot Texas favored military government. Finally, resolutions offered by Mr. Field, of Miss., were adopted, declaring', first, th at all rebels have forfeited the right of being protected by the Government, and have forfeited their politi" cal rights; second, that justice should be done thc loyal citizens of the South; that national dignity and s'ecurity demand that in any plan of recon? struction adopted by Congress disloyal persons should be ignored; third, that any unregistered or disloyal person maybe restored to citizenship by the recommendation of the State Legislature after full reorganization end the approval of Con? gress. Another resolution, offered by Mr. Heis land, was also passed, de-uaring that the plan of reconstruction will not be acceptable which does not provide for civil govei7__ient in conjunction with the military power. It is announced, in ad? dition, that General Hamilton and the Southern loyalists of his stripe will hold a public meeting to oppose the military scheme.-Sun. Tar: ENGLISH BAB-British lawyers are divided into L?verai classes-the attorney who ?B called a solicitor when engaged m proceeding in equity and proctor is the ecclesiastical and perogatife and probate courts ; the barrister, who is called advocate m Scotland, and the special pleader It is necessary that a man should sen e five years ap pren^ceship to a duly qualified master, and pay HO: hundred doUars a stamp duty on the indenture of the " articles" under which he passes into and through such servitude, and finally paBs a Bevcrc examination before he can become an attorney He must have his name entered for three years ?t an Lon of Court in London or Dublin, and keep his ?'.terms'' Nr three years before he can bo admitted as a barrak ar or hscensed as a special pleader A Scottish advocate, or an Irish barrister, how? ever eminent, cannot plead in any English Court the House of Lords excepted, which is the nation? al Court of ultimate appeaL -When Brougham, after a few years' trial, found that his progress at the Scottish bar was likely to be slow, he became an English barrister, but had to wait thc usual time as a nominal student at Lincoln's Inn before he was called to the English bar. Mr. Whiteside or Mr. Batt, now leaders of the Irish bar, cannot hold a brief in England without being "caned" to the English bar after a wait of two years as "stu? dents at law," and even then must pay $600 as stamp duty upon the certificate of his admission, though he had previously paid the same sum whon admitted to the Irish bar. .Seventy-two deaths occurred in two Dublin workhouses between the 19th and 21 t of January, among those admitted within a few days before, n siter extreme suffering from cold and want of , Cromwell's Dissolution of thc Rump Par? liament. Tho 20th of January, 1G53, is the date of thiB memoniblo event. Tho Parliament by which CIIAIUXS i. had boon met and overcome, had dwindled down by various purgations to about fifty-three members, who aimed at becoming a sort of mild oligarchy for thc administration of tho commonwealth. They were d?lib?r?t: ig on a bill for the futuro representation, in which they should have a permanent place, when CROMWELL resolved to make an end of them. It was tho last incident in the natural series of a revolution, placing mili? tary power abovo all other. Cromwell having ordered a company of musketeers to follow him, entered tho House iii "plain black clothes and worsted stockings," and sitting down, listened tor a while to their proceedings. Hearing at length the question put that tho bill do pass, he rose, put oil* lus hat. and began to speak. In the courso of his address he told thom of their self seeking and delays of justice, till nt length Sir Peter Wentworth interrupted him with a remon? strance against mich language. Then blazing up, he said: "Wo have had enough of this; I will put an end to your- prating." Stopping into tho lloor of tho House, and clap? ping on lus hat, ho cominonced a violent harangue, which he occasionally emphasized by stamping with hi3 feet, and which came mainly to this: "It is not fit you should sit here any longer-you have sat too long for any good you havj beon doing lately. You shall now give placo to better men." "Call them in I" he exclaimed, and Iiis officer, Har? rison, and a filo of soldiers, entered the House. Then proceeding: "You are no Parliament ! Some of you aro drunkards"-bending a stem oyo upon Mr. Chalonor; "some of you are-," a word ex Sressive of a worso immorality, and ho looked at [enry Martin and Sir Peter Wentworth, "living in open contemp? of God's commandments. Some of you aro corrupt, unjust persons; how can you be a Parliament for God's people? Depart, I say, and let us have done with von. Go !" Ho lifted his maco from the tablo and gave it to a musketeer, to bo taken away. Ho caused Harri? son to give Iiis hand to Speaker Lenthal and lead him down from tho chair. Tho members, cowed by his violence and tho sight of his armed men, moved gloomily out of the House. " It is the Lord that hath caused me todo this," he said. " I have sought that ho would rather slay me than put me upon doing this work." Sir Harry Vano ventured a remonstrance. " Oh, Sir Harry "Vane," exclaimed the Lord General, " the Lord deliver me from Sir Hairy Vane !" Whom all had gone out, he came out too and locked tho door. Irom that time he was master of the three kingdoms for' about five and a half roars. [From tlie Norfolk Day Book.] A Gay Deceiver. Tho elder Weller once admonished Iiis son Samuel to beware of the widders," and added tho opinion that "one widder was equal to five and twenty single gals, in the pint or coming it over you." This mar be true in Her Britanic Ma? jesty's dominions, where gullible gentlemen aie supposed to be numerous, but in this great (?) and glorious (?) and bappy~(?) and free (?) coun? try, without moaning to disparage the smartness of our American widows, we nave numerous sharp thorns in pifurcated integuments, who would give Sam Weller's smartest widow the odds of a pawn and two moves and then beat her out afterwards. An instance of this has lately come to light, which proves this assertion, and proves to what extent a widow can be deceived. On one of the streots of this city resides a widow whom, for prudential roasons, we will call Mrs. V. The lady was left a widow about three rears ago; an ounce of lead had penetrated Mr. V.'s lungs, and Ilia few remaining dare were passea in a hos? pital. Mrs. V. never saw him after the evacuation of this city, and was a widow some months before she knew "it. Except the ho.iso she lived in, some jewelry, and a lot of comfortable furniture, thore was little of the world's goods left to hor, but apart fi om the fact that she had to struggle for food and raiment for herself and little ones, she was quito comfortable Mrs. V. was lonely, and determined to relieve that lonoliness and increase her income by talcing one or two boarders. Accordingly she let it be known that for a reasonable compensation she would provide snug quarters for one or two single gentleman who were willing to exchange I references. In due time a very respectable-looking individual "f about five and forty, who was soberly dressed, and who represented himself as a quiet bachelor in quest of a quiet home convenient to his business, presented himself, and being a stranger, was un? able to give city reference, but could give any re? quired reference in New York. Mrs. V. was well pleased with his.appearance, deportment and con? versation, and concluded to toko him in, this nice, quiet bachelor, and accordingly so informed him. Some little bargaining was then made as to tho price of board, she charged him just fifty cents per woek more than he wanted to pay, remarking that as a strictly just man he always drove a close bargain, but always stuck to it. Mrs. V., unwilling to lose so quiet and gentle? manly a boarder, finally consented to the reduc? tion; he was duly installed in a snug room, the best carpet, the best bed, and a comfortable arm? chair being prominent features therein. He sur? veyed his domiciL expressed himsej * delighted, and delighted Mrs. V. by handing over two weeks' board in advance. He gave his na-nc as Turpin, talked much of his business, and led the lonely widow to believe that I he was a man of considerable means and of great business qualifications. His plausible manners and smooth tongue soon won for bim tho friend- - ship and esteem of not only the lonely widow, but of all her friends, who had called and cultivated the acquaintance of the quiet bachelor, but thor? ough business man.\ Ia a short whilo he began to speak of Mrs. V. to her friends as "such a nice lady," and on one or two occasions volunteered the opinion that "she was devilish good-looking." This, of course, roach? ed Mrs. V.'s ears, as it was intended, and there is little doubt but the lonely widow began to think, though shadidn't say it, that Mr, T. was a devilish nice man. By-and-by he began to talk to Mrs. V. about her lonely situation. Next, he got to haring his right paw on his left breast, and then ho would 1 raiso m's eyes ceiling-wardB, and "sigh like a fur? nace," which meant "love" as plain as the lan? guage could speak it. To ebor ton tho story, Mr. T. proposod, tho widow accepted, and the wedding was to have taken place last Wednesday a week ago. During the courtship ho paid several visits to his Now York house, and always carno back dehghted with the largo business that was being done there. Every arrangement was made for tho wedding, the company was invited, and things wero pro? gressing finely; a house-keeper was engaged to uike caro of things at home whilo the happy couplo went off on theil* bridal tour, and everybody was delighted. .Wednesday morning came and every? thing was bustle; Mrs. V. was busy, one or two of her mtimate friends were busy, and things wore progressing finely. The subject of cake and such "firms" was undertaken by Mr. T. "just to holp," I and during the day he called Mrs. V. one side and remarked that as she might feel some little deli? cacy in allowing him to pay for the confections, she could give him thirty dollars to pay for them, and to-morrow you can pay youreeir back from our pocket-book. Mrs. V. handed over the thirty dollars, Mr. Tur? pin said he would proceed at once - to pay the bill and order tho things up. He returnedabcut din? ner time,' and remarked that thc articles would arrive about i P. M. "Oh I thooro is another matter to be attended to," said he; "your watch and chain, and indeed your jewelry generally, is a little tarn? ished, and Freeman can rub them up in hali an hour, and make them look like new." Happr thought; I and the widow was delighted to think what a thoughtful, accommodating man her sec? ond husband was. She placed her watch and trinkets in his bauds, and he started off to haro them rubbed up; but that was the last Been or heard of bim, or the thirty dollars, or the watch and tri ?kets._ i The guests'came in the evening, but there wero no confections to give them, there was no groom, and thore was no wedding; but tho poor deluded and swindled widow was there with but seventy five cents in her pocket to buy bread for herself and little ones. The'inean, sneaking, contempti? ble sinner stripped his victim pf money and effects to the tune of S200, besides owing six weeks' board, which Mrs. V. did not like to call on him for under rho circumstances. Tony Weller would have had uo occasion to caution Sam against such "widders;" but if Sam had been a widow it would hare been prudence to caution her against aged gay deceivers with two or threo stores that no oay knows anything about. The annual trial of the gold and silver coirfago at the United Stales Mint m Philadelphia com? menced Monday morning. According to law tho standard gold of the United States is so constitut? ed that in 1000 parts of woight 900 shall be of pure gold and 100 of an alloy of copper and silver.

THE OCEAN LEVELS.-It has long boon tho popu? lar idea, prevailing to a considerable extent, that the water in tho Pacific Ocean is higher than that in the Atlantic. But modern science has demon? strated this tobe erroneous. Col. Totten, while engineer of the Panama Railroad, artur a series of careful tidal observations taken at Panama and As pinwall, connectod with accurate levels along the One of railroad, found the mean height of tho two oceans to bo exactly the samo. Owing to the diff? erence in the rise of the tide at both places, tbei ". ore. of course, times when ono of the oceans hi higher or lower tb an the other ; but thou1 mea i level, or height at hali'tide, ?B now found to bc tl a mme.

Among the chief points of excellence of the Chicker? ing Pianos, of which speak the renowned artists in their congratulatory testimoni?is to the Messrs. Chickering, are the greatest posslbio depth, richness and volume of tone, combined with a rare brilliancy, clearnes8 and perfect evennesa throughout the entire scale; and, above all, a surprising duration of sound, the pare and sympathetic quality of which never changes nuder the most delicate or powerful touch.

THALBERG. I consider Chickering A Sons' Pianos, beyond com? parison, the beat I have ever seen in America. GOTTSCHALK. I consider Ohickerlng & Sons' Pianos superior to any in the world. They are unrivalled for their singing qnanties and for the harmonious roundness of their tone. There ls a perfect homogeneity throughout all the registers. The upper notes ore remarkable for a clearness and purity which I do not find in any other instrument, while the base ia distinguished for power without harshness, and for a magnificent sonority. AVEULI. Tour Pianos are superior to any I have ever seen in thia country or in Europe. I have never hoard a tone so perfect; lt yields every expression that ls needed In music, and Its quality ia capable of change to meet every sentiment. This ls a rare power, and ls derived from the perfect parity of its tone, together with its sympathetic, elastic and well balanced touch. POZNANSKI.
