'3tiEclBiciTTr Applied to thc cApTuacor Whalm We had an opportunity on Saturday to witness sortie interesting experiments performed under the direction 01 mr.

i. i. neineKerii an jnienigeni, mercnani 01 Bremen, Germany now on a Visit in this city, illustra- tingr'the'effect of electricity, to facilitate: the capture of mo wnaie. 1 ne suojep. was nrsi orougni 10 me nn- ice or Air, neinexen py toe aiscourses ot ur.

somers-burg, professor "of natural history, and Mr. Ruckstan. in Bremen, as presenting important advantages over the. mode hitnerto employed in tne whale xishery. The most prominent features of the new, method pro posed may be brieny enumerated as tollows That every whale at the moment ot being struck with harpoon is rendered powerless, as by -a stroke of lightning, and therefore his subsequent cape or loss, except by sinking, is wholly inpractica-ble: and the process of lancing and securing him' is entirely unattended with danger.

The arduous labor involved in a long chase in the capture ot-toe wnale is superseded, and consequently the inconvenience and danger of the boats losing sight of or becoming separated from the ship are une or two boats, only be required to be lowered at a time, and therefore a less number both of officers and seamen than heretofore employed would be ample for the purposes of the voyage. The electricity id conveyed to the body of the whale from an electro-galvanic battery contained in the boat, by means of a metallic wire attached to the harpoon, and so arranged as to reconduct the efectrio current from the whale through the sea to the machine. The machine itself is simple and compact in construction, enclosed in a strongchest weighing about 350 pounds, and occupying a space in the boat of about three and a half feet long by two feet in width and the same in height. It is capable of throwing into the body of the whale eight tremenduous strokes of electricity in a second, or 950. strokes in a minute, paralyzing in an instant the muscles of the whale, and depriving it of all power ot motion, if not actually of life.

Mr. Heineken, altboughat first disinclined to place much reliance upon the proposed advantages to be derived from this discovery, has subsequently become in a great measure a convert to the theory, and, at the urgent solicitations of practical whalemen in hia employ from the port of Bremen, has recently placed the apparatus on board of two whale-ships in which he is interested as owner, from that port. He is desirous of submitting the subject of the discovery to the consideration of practical whalemen and otheisin tHs city, with a view of procuring further testa of its efficiency. New Bedford Mercury. DIED.

At Sharon, his residence near this City, at half past two o'clock on Saturday the of June, 1352, Dr. 08i ah O. Watsos, aged 68 years. Dr. Watson was born at Pineville, County of John ston, the 14th September, in the year 1 784.

He studied his profession under Dr. Henry Haywood, of Tarborough, attended a course of lectures in Philadelphia and after wards located in Charleston, Sooth 1 where he was soon called into, a lucrative practice, realizing there' from as much as $10,000 per year. While in Charles ton he enjoyed the friendship of the family of Gov. AI ston, Judge Huger, and others of the same refined and elevated character. During the war of 1812.

be served as Surgeon in the army under Jackson, in which capacity he distinguished himself, and attracted the warm regards and friendship of that great man, which he re tained in full force unul his death. He returned to North Carolina after his duties had 'closed in the army, and married one of the most worthy and estimable ladies of the State. He served the people of Johnston with credit aBd -n thj Legislatare of 1826 and was several times on the Electoral Ticket for President and Vice President, and one of the Electoral College in 1836 which cast the vote of the State for Mr. Van Buren. He was nominated, in 1841, by the unanimous voice of his political friends, for a seat in the Congress of the United States and he was frequently a Delegate in the National Conventions of his party.

He was the intimate fiiend. as we have already stated, of Gen. Jackson, and of other deceased patriots, whose fame and character are co-ex tensive with the world and ameng the living, he has left as friends such men as George Af. Dallas, of Pennsylva nia, who knew his worth as a private citizen 'and Lus stern and unyielding sense of duty as a public man Dr. Watson was remarkable for his enterprise and public spirit.

He was the firm and sincere friend of in' ternal improvements and he was among the very first advocate and one of the original favorers of a Kail road from Beaufort to the mountains. He was led to approve all such enterprises and to aid them from his ample means, from motives most patriotic motives which looked to the prosperity of his native State and the advancement of the interests of all He was also connected with various schemes of benevolence, intended to protect the community from loss or to relieve it affliction and evil. He was President of the North Carolina Mutual Insurance Company at the time of his death and he was also with Gov. Morehcad, Geo. W.

Mordecai, Calvin Graves, and other men of dis tinction, to superintend on behalf of the State works of public utility, in which he manifested a deep interest. He was also, for many year, Chairman of Johnston County Court, in which capacity he gave universal sat isfaction and he was likewise for a series of years, the Chairman of the Democratic State Central Committee. was a man of clear head and sound heart; and had devoted his attention to books and the profession of law, he would have become a competitor for its highest honors. In private life he was a sincere friend, an affectionate father; an indulgent husband, and a kind relative. The iuuuigeuuiuuu, auu writer of this feeble tribute to his.memory knew him in timatelr for fifteen vears.

and can trulv sav he never knewinian more thoroughly i thoroughly sincere than Dr. Josiah Ov Watson. Not only so, "but he was a man of indomita resolution and stern integrity He was attended in his moments ly his nearest relatives and connexions and he died a member of the Episcopalian Church, with a full and- steady faith in Christ, and a most consoling assurance of a blissful im mortality. He has erone where the beloved partner of life and the dear child of hisahopes prematurely preceded him and he now knows, hi their utmost extent, joys and raptures which the followers of Christ can alone inherit, v. 8."

Barret Newsom, of this place, took fire in the upper story and was, with very considerable difficulty, extinguished. The fire was first discovered in a pile of Uotton near a machine called the 44 Willow," and is supposed to have orig inated by some combustible material passing through the machine.

But for the praiseworthy and prompt attendance of nearly all the male citizens of Milton, and their indefatigable exertions, together with the firmness, bold and untiring efforts of Mr. Jacob Schoolfield, (the manager,) who nobly periled his life, as we believe no other man would have done, the Factory would have been destroyed. The damage, we learn, was slight. 1 he premises are insured, to. the amount of $26,000, and we be lieve it ia universally conceded that the Insurance Companies ought to make a substantial manifestation of their approval of Mr.

We' learn from a statement in the Louisville Democrat that among the reforms in law proposed by the law commissioners of Indiana, is a bill regulating the law of descents, changing materially the rights of married women.

The Democrat says 44 They are placed by the proposed law on the basis of the civil law, entitled to tne communauie, or jne partnership interest in the proper of the h8band, instead of the dower, or like estate. They hold the fee in one-third of the reality of the decease of the husband, instead of the tenancy, as formerly. The husband is restricted from alienation by will or deed without the consent of the wife of her interest pro vided for her by the law. The stern doctrines of the fathers of the.eommon law have had their day and chivalry, which made a pet, as also a puppet, of a woman, has yielded to the belief that women are nei ther angels nor devoid ot common sense.

et uv-j Gov, Reid aaid that in 1835 the following clause was engrafted in the Constitution No Convention of the people ahall be called by the General Assembly, unlesa by the concurrence of two-thirds of all the memoirs or eacn nouse ot the ueneral Aasemoiy. Now, be challenged Mr; Kerr to show? that Mr. Jef- lerson ever tool the ground that a bare majority or thn people had civil rtgM to change a written Con- stitutioo where that' majority bad expressly declared in me vonsuiution mat they had parted with the right to make such Aa ,19 the quotation from Mr. laucj, mr.ji.err knw -or ouirui 10 Know, mat tnia clause was. engrafted in oar Constitution since ahe death of distinguished gentleman, and that there- fore the quotation (had no application whatever to the suojecu mot.

neiu aaia mat Air. iverr naa quotea these distinguished authorities, with others, to prove the position that a bare majority of the people had a right to call a Convention and to amend the Consti- thia doctrine he avowed without anyqoal- ifieation or restriction. Gor. Reid denied that either Mr. Jefferson, Mr.

Yancy or any-other distinguished statesman' ever' arewed that a bare majority of the eople Coold either change' the' Constitution of the nited States or the present Constitution of North Carolina. He was aware that the Constitution of the United States was formed by the States, while, the Constitution of North Carolina was formed by the people of the State'. No government could be formed without concessions. When the Constitu tion of the United States was formed it wis stipulated that it should not be amended except by three- fourths of all the States. This provision was not.

put in the Constitution to enable the minority to rule the majority, as Mr. Kerr and the Whig leaders would "aio iug invuig ucitoin, uui v. liluiCKt mo iuio or the minority. Wow did Mr. Jefferson ever say or believe that a bare majority of the people of the Uni ted States could amend the Constitution of the Uni ted States in violation of thia express provision! No and why 1 For the obvious reason that they had solemnly and expressly pledged themselves in a written Constitution not to do so.

Gov. Reid aaid that in 1835 the Convention of North. Carolina inserted in the State Constitution a provision declaring that No Convention of the people shall be called by the General Assembly, unless by the concurrence ot two-thirds of all the members of each House of the General Assembly. Now he utterly denied that bare majority of the people could call a Convention, for the plain reason that they had' expressly agreed in a written Constitution that they would not do so. He contended that if a bare majority disregard ed this provision and called a Convention, such ac tion would be a palpable usurpation of power and a flagrant violation of the Constitution.

What naa become of the fears of Mr. Kerr and the Whig lead era of Domsm 1 VV hat had become of the L-onstitu ton-abiding and law-loving Whig leadera who had made such loud professions! Mr. Kerr asked leave to explain, and Gov. Reid leplied certainly, with great pleasure. Mr.

Kerr then said that he did not intend to be misunderstood tn this point. His position waa this: He did not intend to be understood that a majority of the people could call a Convention, but his groond was that the question ought to be submitted to the people, and if a majority voted for a Convention the public functionaries were bound to carry out the will tne majority ana, wno, ne wouia asa, couia uis a a rerard it 1 Gov. Reid said it was strange that Mr. Kerr would condemn him, when he (Gov. took the ground that a majority of the people had not the constitution right to call a Convention, and Whig partizansand Whig newspapers were proclaiming 44 Keep it before the people that the Democratic candidate for Gov- ernor and the Democratic party deny the rig! cf tQ aJConentionit, ni 01 a when Mr.

Ktrr, when brought to the teat had been compel! to admit that a bare majority of the people had not the right under the Constitution to call a Convention Thev had better keep it before the people that Mr. Kerr had repudiated hia own argument and. the posi tion of the newspapers and leadera of his own party Gov. Reid remarked that Mr. Kerr's explanation made his position, if possible, still more absurd.

According to bis explanation, tlttt which he admitted could not Be aircciiy uone was 10 oe inuirecuy euec ted. Tbrooeh bis doctrine just expressed the will a bttre maiortv is to come in as Ate her law to govern public functionaries and without regard the views of their constituents, and thai to orer- ride an express provision of the Constitution. Gov. Reid said that he respected the will of majority as much as any one opon subjects which that majority had the legal and constitutional right to control, now mr. tverr naa saia mat 11 1 Equal Suffrage is adopted it must be done by a Con- vention, and that he, Mr.

Kerr, would vote lor a on- venlion when that subject is submitted to the He. Gov. Reid, was opposed to a change of the basis representation and Mr. Kerr had emphatically do- dared the same. Upon that point there was no is- between them.

The people had discussed Equal Suffrage and bad not by a bare majority only, but by Vontlilulionai majority 01 tne uenerai Assemoiy declared not onlv in favor t)f the measure, but of per-I a a mt- a a 1 fecting it by the Lesttlative mode and against a Uon- vention; and yet Mr. Kerr and the Whig partizana with all their professions of deference to the will of neonla are ont)siner the voice of the Constitution- majority thus solemnly and deliberately expressed. I (Gov. Keid) and the friends of free nee ted majorities, but whenever a majority should 1 attempt to violate apa uiaregaru uie eipra pt tne UOnsiuuiion, ne wouia noi oe iohou c- ins- with them. The friends of Eaual Suffrage pro i fiosed to carry out that measure in a peaceaoie ana egal and constitutional way, and in conformity with I will ot the people too.
